Comparison of the hemostatic suture with non-suture cold-knife conization methods for cervical surgery
Authors: GÜRBÜZ Tuğba , YARDIMCI Oğuz
Published: October 2020

Objective: The primary purpose of this study is to compare the suture with non-suture cold-knife after conization methods.
Method: The study included 172 women who underwent the cold-knife conization.. In the first group, patients underwent cold-knife conization without sutures, and in the second group, patients underwent cold-knife conization with suture. The essential variables of this study include blood loss, duration of operation, number of pregnancies, type of childbirth, and age of the patient. The results are calculated based on t-test, Fisher exact test, chi-square, and nonparametric Mann-Whitney tests.
Result: There was no significant difference between the variables studied, including blood loss (p-value = 0.185). The only significant difference was in the duration of operation (P-value = 0.000).
Conclusion: Our findings showed that there was no significant difference between the amount of blood loss between the sutured and non-sutured groups. These results also showed that the operation duration was significantly reduced. This result was excepted since there was no need for suturing, and the other stages of the procedure were the same throughout the cold knife canonization in both groups. Due to the shorter operation duration, no difference in the amount of postoperative bleeding, and the specific risks of suture, it is suggested to use a non-suture technique for cold-knife conization.

Pheochromocytomas are benign tumors which originate from adrenal chromaffin cells. The classical triad of the pheochromocytoma includes headache, palpitations, and diaphoresis. Cardiac complications as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, ST elevated myocardial infarction, non-ST elevated myocardial infarction and myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) may be seen.

Herein, we present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who admitted to an emergency department with chest pain and tachycardia one year ago. Coronary angiography was performed to diagnose a possible acute coronary syndrome. Urgent cardiac catheterization did not demonstrate an obstructive cardiac artery. Any intervention for revascularization was not needed. Nevertheless, the symptoms of the patient continued in the past year after this admission and he was admitted to the hospital a few times more with similar cardiac symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome. When the patient referred to our department, we determined that his plasma and urinary catecholamine levels were elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a 167x70 mm sized heterogeneous mass including cystic components in the right adrenal gland, which pushes the right kidney towards inferior. After the pre-medication, a 170 mm in size 990-g weighted mass was successfully removed with open surgery. Histopathological findings confirmed the pheochromocytoma diagnosis. However, we presented a case of an exceptional giant pheochromocytoma mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
Skin rashes in COVID-19: A report of three cases
Authors: BAKAR DERTLİOGLU Selma
Published: October 2020

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 quickly escalated to a global pandemic. Several studies have described its typical clinical manifestations, including fever, cough, diarrhea, and fatigue. In this study we characterize the dermatologic aspects of COVID-19 so that dermatologists may be aware of the skin complications and preventive measures to be taken in the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined the skin findings of 3 patients (3 female). None had additional disease. Cutaneous findings included urticarial lesions in 1 patient, vesicular lesions on the oral mucosa in 2 patients. Cutaneous rashes in COVID-19 are primarily non-specific and similar to cutaneous involvement seen in common viral infections. Therefore, dermatologists should include COVID-19 in the differential diagnosis of all skin rashes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This may help avoid delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis
Evaluation of the relationship between diastolic dysfunction and interatrial block
Authors: YALIM Zafer , ERSOY İbrahim
Published: October 2020

Background: The interatrial block is a condition that occurs due to the delay of conduction in the right atrium to the left atrium, and can be partial (pIAB) or advanced (aIAB), and also is associated with atrial arrhythmia. Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an important condition frequently encountered in most healthy middle-aged individuals and plays a role in the development of many cardiovascular diseases. It is noteworthy that frequent paroxysmal AF (PAF) attacks are observed especially in individuals with DD in clinical life, and its relationship with the presence of interatrial block is still unclear in these patients. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of DD and the development of interatrial block and PAF.

Methods: A total of 146; 92 patients with DD and 54 control (proven by echocardiography) were enrolled in this cross-sectional and prospectively study. The properties of the P wave were evaluated in leads D2-3 aVF and V1. Echocardiography and electrocardiography results of the two groups were compared.

Results: The mean age of the DD and the control group was (62.3 ± 0.74 and 61.2 ± 0.61 years, p=0.481) respectively. The frequency of IAB was significantly higher in the DD than the control group (%37-%46.7-%16.3, %77.8-%18.5-%3.7, none-pİAB-aİAB, respectively). In the correlation analysis, there was a strong correlation between the presence of DD and IAB (r: 0.439, p

Published: October 2020

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) have complex and diverse etiologies. Various classifications have been created in order to better describe and to guide the treatments correctly of these disorders. Wilkes classification is the most accepted among these classifications. A more comprehensive and understandable classification has been developed by Dimitroulis to eliminate the short comings of other classifications. In this case we aimed to present category 5 catastrophic TMJD with radiological findings according to this new classification.
A rare congenital anomaly of mediastinal vascular structures; isolated retroaortic left brachiocephalic vein
Authors: GÜRÜN Enes , AKDULUM İsmail
Published: October 2020

Purpose: Retroaortic left brachiocephalic vein (RALBV) is a rare condition and frequently accompanies congenital heart diseases. Isolated retroaortic left brachiocephalic vein anomaly is extremely rare. To emphasize the importance of the embryology and anatomy of the isolated RALBV anomaly and revealing the need to keep in mind before the intervention.

Case Report: A 55-year-old man who underwent lobectomy due to lung adenocarcinoma. The patient had no known cardiac anomaly or heart disease. There was an oval-shaped structure reported as enlarged lymph node in the preaortic area on previous non-contrast CT. In the contrast-enhanced thorax computed tomography performed on the patient, it was seen that the structure previously described as lymph node was the left brachiocephalic vein, which showed a retroaortic course and was opacified with contrast material.

Conclusion: In conclusion, isolated RALBV is an extremely rare anomaly. This anomaly should be known and reported due to increasing cross-sectional examinations. One should be alert before radiological interventional procedures and thoracic surgeries. Also, it is necessary to be careful because misinterpretations can influence the treatment and follow-up of malignant diseases.

Authors: ŞARA Halil İbrahim , ATEŞ Fatih , DURMAZ Mehmet Sedat
Published: October 2020

Adamantinoma is a rare low grade primary malignant bone tumor. The tumor is usually located in the diaphysis of tibia. The tumor is locally aggressive and can metastasis. As it is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the main treatment is total excision of the lesion with wide surgical margins. Although it is difficult to distinguish from other bone lesions (such as osteofibrous dysplasia) radiologically, there are some helpful features. With this presentation of a typical case, we hope to draw the attention of radiologists to this lesion.

Authors: ÖZDEMİR Adnan , ŞAHAN Mehmet Hamdi
Published: October 2020

Introduction / Aim: The aim of this study was to use radiography, ultrasonography (US), and computed tomography (CT) to investigate the radiological features of symptomatic cholelithiasis. Material and Method: From January 2014 and September 2019, 543 patients with cholelithiasis were identified. Of these, 174 who also underwent radiography and CT were included in the study. During the 3-year follow-up of the 174 patients, 80 patients had symptomatic cholelithiasis, identified according to US and/or CT examinations, as well as clinical findings. Cholecystitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and choledocholithiasis findings were considered symptomatic. Radio-opaque stones were identified on radiography and stones were visible on CT. The stones were divided into groups according to their calcification types. The Hounsfield unit (HU) values of the stones were measured and the number and size of the stones were determined by CT and US. Findings / Results: Symptomatic findings included radio-opaque stones, multiple stones, stones with HU values above 100 HU, and cholelithiasis of the uniform calcification type (P 0.05). Conclusion: The radiological features of symptomatic cholelithiasis are important in terms of follow-up, treatment plan and prevention of complications.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the postoperative cardioprotective efficacy of preoperative levosimendan treatment in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing coronary by-pass surgery.
Materyal and Method: This study was performed prospectively between November 2008 and September 2009 in Eskişehir Osmangazi Univercity Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. Twenty patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) between the ages of 48-78 and ejection fraction (EF) below 40% were included in the study. levosimendan was given to the first group preoperatively(experimental group). Group 2 was the control group. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery was performed in all of them. One group received additional levosimendan infusion, preoperatively. Age, comorbidity, cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB) time, cross clamp (CC) time, patient vessel number, anastomosis number, extubation times, intensive care stay and hospital stay were recorded. Preoperative, postoperative 1st day and postoperative 7th day nt-proBNP values and preoperative and postoperative 15th day ejection fraction (EF) values with echocardiography (ECHO) were measured. The cardioprotective efficacy of the drug was evaluated by comparing the data of the control group and the experimental group.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of CPB time, CC time, age, comorbidity, number of sick vessels, number of anastomosis, extubation time, length of stay in intensive care and hospital stay. (P> 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in preoperative EF values (P> 0.05). The mean values of EF measurements on the postoperative 15th day were calculated as 39% in the experimental group and 40% in the control group. The increase in EF values was greater in the experimental group. This increase was found to be more significant in the experimental group (P = 0.008). There was a significant difference between the groups in preoperative and postoperative 1st day n-tproBNP values (P <0.05). A significant increase was observed in nt-proBNP values in the groups until the 7th postoperative day. (P <0.001). Although this increase was statistically significant in both groups, it was observed that the increase in the control group was higher. After the nt-proBNP measurements on the postoperative 7th day, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05).
Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was determined that levosimendan has a positive effect on myocardial protection and contractility in patients with low EF in CABG surgery.
Keywords: Levosimendan; coroner by-pass surgery; left ventricle dyusfunction.

Authors: ARPAĞ Hüseyin , ATİLLA Nurhan , FINDIKLI Ebru
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the temperament profiles of male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between the groups.

Material and Method: A total of 80 male patients without any additional disease were included in the study. Patients were staged as group A, group B, group C and group D according to 2019 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria. The Turkish version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto and the Hospital Anxiety Depression (HAD) Questionnaire scales (HADS) were used to determine the dominant affective temperaments.

Results: Totally 80 COPD patients including 20 from each group were recruited into our study. The majority of COPD patients did not have any dominant temperament (n:28). Depressive temperament was found in 18 patients (22.5%) as the most common dominant affective temperament, followed by anxious temperament in 10 patients (12.5%). When groups were compared anxious temperament was significantly dominant in group A, while there wasn’t any significant difference between groups for depressive temperament. Cyclothymic and irritabl temperaments were found to be more common in group A (Table 1). According to HADS depression was seen significantly higher in group B (Table 2).

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that there is a negative correlation between COPD severity and incidence of affective temperaments. To cope with the disease better, COPD patients in early stages are in need of psychological support at least patients in advanced stage.
Folic acid supplementation in pregnancy and prevention of fetal neural tube defects
Authors: Wierzejska R , Wojda B
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. Folic acid deficiency in very early pregnancy significantly increases the risk for neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Due to very high demands for folic acid in pregnancy, adequate supply is not possible without dietary supplements.
AIM OF THE STUDY. Evaluation of the frequency and adequacy of folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy among women from the Warsaw region of Poland.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study was conducted among 100 pregnant women using direct interviewing. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between selected parameters and folic acid supplementation.
RESULTS. Folic acid before pregnancy was supplemented by 42% of the respondents. In pregnancy, the number almost doubled (83%), but most women did not start the supplementation until 5-6 weeks of gestation. Before pregnancy, almost all subjects used single folic acid preparations, whereas during pregnancy they used vitaminmineral preparations for expectant women.
CONCLUSIONS. The realization of the Primary Prevention Program of Neural Tube Defects leaves much to be desired. Over half of the women do not supplement folic acid before conception, and the supply in pregnancy is initiated too late to meet the assumptions of the prevention program.

STRESZCZENIE
WSTĘP. Niedobory kwasu foliowego w bardzo wczesnej ciąży zwiększają ryzyko wad cewy nerwowej płodu. Zapotrzebowanie kobiet ciężarnych na ten składnik jest na tyle duże, że bez suplementacji diety nie jest możliwa prawidłowa podaż.
CEL BADANIA. Ocena częstości i prawidłowości stosowania preparatów kwasu foliowego przed zajściem w ciążę oraz w okresie ciąży, przez kobiety z regionu warszawskiego.
MATERIAŁ I METODY. Badanie przeprowadzono wśród 100 kobiet ciężarnych, metodą bezpośredniego wywiadu z pacjentką. Związek wybranych cech ze stosowaniem kwasu foliowego analizowano przy pomocy testu chi2.
WYNIKI. Kwas foliowy przed zajściem w ciążę przyjmowało 42% badanych pacjentek. W okresie ciąży odsetek ten był dwukrotnie wyższy (83%), ale większość kobiet rozpoczęła suplementację dopiero od 5-6 tygodnia ciąży.
Przed zajściem w ciążę niemal wszystkie pacjentki zażywały pojedyncze preparaty kwasu foliowego, natomiast w okresie ciąży składnik ten przyjmowany był w postaci preparatów witaminowo-mineralnych, przeznaczonych dla kobiet ciężarnych.
WNIOSKI. Realizacja Programu Profilaktyki Pierwotnej Wad Cewy Nerwowej nie jest zadowalająca. Ponad połowa kobiet nie zażywa kwasu foliowego w okresie przedkoncepcyjnym, a po zajściu w ciążę podaż preparatu jest na tyle późna, że nie spełnia założeń profilaktyki.

Published: October 2020

Introdução: O câncer pediátrico responde por 2 a 3% de todos os tumores malignos e no mundo são diagnosticados mais de 160.000 casos por ano. Objetivo: Descrever a tendência de mortalidade e sua razão de taxas por leucemias e linfomas em menores de 20 anos, no Brasil e nas capitais brasileiras que dispõem de Registros de Câncer de Base Populacional. Método: Foram utilizados dados de óbitos por leucemias e linfomas de menores de 20 anos obtidos no Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade para o período de 1996 a 2008. O período de análise foi estratificado em triênios e foram calculadas taxas de mortalidade, para o Brasil e as capitais, ajustadas pela população mundial. Modelos de regressão polinomial foram utilizados para a análise considerando o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Para o Brasil, foi observada tendência de declínio não constante das taxas de mortalidade por linfomas e para leucemia nenhum modelo se mostrou estatisticamente significativo. Houve variação da tendência da mortalidade por neoplasias hematológicas segundo capitais. As leucemias apresentaram taxas mais elevadas de mortalidade para todo o período e para todas as faixas etárias estudadas. Para o grupo dos linfomas, houve redução das taxas de mortalidade para todas as faixas etárias, exceto 10 a 14 anos, sendo observado aumento da mortalidade no último período. Conclusão: As variações da mortalidade por neoplasias hematológicas entre as capitais sugerem diferenças no acesso ao diagnóstico e tratamento dessas doenças.

Published: October 2020

Introdução: A incidência do câncer de boca esta aumentando no mundo. Evidências epidemiológicas mostram que o tabaco, o álcool e a exposição ao sol são os principais fatores de risco para essa neoplasia. A prevenção e o diagnóstico precoce constituem as melhores formas de reverter essa situação. Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de conhecimento dos acadêmicos dos cursos de Odontologia e Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte frente ao câncer oral e com isso adquirir subsídios para o desenvolvimento de estratégias e ações educativas em saúde. Método: Um questionário estruturado foi administrado para os 160 discentes matriculados nos cursos de Enfermagem e Odontologia, contendo questões relativas aos discentes (sexo, idade e curso) e relacionadas a lesão (fatores de risco e procedimentos diagnósticos). Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e inferencial com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Dos participantes, 48,8% afirmaram ter adquirido conhecimento sobre o câncer oral na graduação, sendo que 57,5% desconhecem o tipo mais prevalente e apenas 30% citaram a língua como a região anatômica mais acometida. Observou-se que os estudantes de Odontologia tem um conhecimento maior acerca do câncer bucal quando comparados aos alunos de Enfermagem (p<0,0001) e esse conhecimento aumentou ao longo da graduação (p<0,0001). Conclusão: O conhecimento sobre o câncer de boca mostrou-se inconsistente no tocante ao reconhecimento de alguns fatores de risco, características clínicas e procedimentos diagnósticos. Esses achados sugerem a necessidade de pensar em estratégias que promovam melhorias referentes ao conhecimento desses acadêmicos.

Published: October 2020

The proliferation of substandard drugs is a major public health challenge, especially in developing countries which lacks adequate resources to effectively monitor their prevalence. Currently, there are no reliable statistics on the level of incidence of fake drugs in Nigeria. The quality of medicines is an integral part in ensuring that pharmaceutical products are fit for their intended use, comply with requirements of marketing authorization and do not expose consumers to risks. For this to be achieved, there must be a system of quality assurance, which incorporates aspects including product development, manufacturing, distribution, and storage. This study aimed at quantifying the content of ten (10) brands of metronidazole infusion marketed in Abuja by UV-Spectroscopic method. Ten (10) brands of metronidazole were purchased in different pharmacies within the city of Abuja and were assayed using UV-Spectroscopic method as stated in British Pharmacopoeia 2017 edition. All the ten (10) brands of metronidazole that were assayed had a percentage content of 100.97% to 108.15%. From the study carried out, all the brands of metronidazole infusion complied with the content uniformity test as stated in the British Pharmacopeia.

Published: October 2020

Background; Social Class has shown relation with admissions at Emergency Departments. To assess whether there is a relationship between the level of triage and the social class of patients who attend the emergency department and whether there are other variables that can modulate this association. Methods Observational study with 1000 patients was carried out between May and July 2018 in the Emergency Department of the University Hospital Arnau de Vilanova in Lleida. Sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, country of origin and marital status were analyzed. The triage level and the main explanatory variable was social class. Social class was calculated based on the CSO-SEE 2012 scale. Results 49.4% were male and the average age was 51.7 years. Most of the patients (66.6%) attended the emergency department under their own volition and the most common triage levels were level III or Emergency (45%). There is a significant relationship between age and triage level. The younger patients had a lower triage level (p <0.001). The percentage of patients with lower social class who attended the emergency department for minor reasons was 42% higher compared to the rest of the patients (RR = 1.42; 1.21-1.67 95% CI, p <0.001). Conclusions; Patients with a lower socioeconomic class go to the Emergency Department for less serious pathologies.

Among the compounds able to efficiently inhibit the amyloid aggregation of proteins and decompose the amyloid aggregates that cause neurodegenerative diseases, of particular interest are dendrimers, which represent individual macromolecules with the hypercrosslinked architectures and given molecular parameters. This short review outlines the peculiarities of the antiamyloid activity of dendrimers and discusses the effect of dendrimer structures and external factors on their antiamyloid properties. The potential of application of dendrimers in further investigations on the aggregation processes of amyloid proteins as the compounds that exhibit the remarkable antiamyloid activity is evaluated.
The Noise of Becoming
Authors: Hao Ada
Published: October 2020

This visual essay aims to review a virtual art installation: the cyberformance of NAUT-ADA (2018-2020): a fictional character on Instagram that uses role-playing as the method to provoke the affinity between identity and embodied spectatorship: the overflowing reproductive fragmentation of the self within the hypertextual filter bubble (Instagram), and the irresistible affirmation and validation from others that perpetuate self-abjection. I will use a diffractive analysis along with NAUT-ADA’s visual spectacle to attest to the presence of heterotopia: ‘a spatial otherness’ (Foucault, 1986) in virtual environments. The Instagram character NAUT-ADA underlines a retroactive process of becoming ‘as both matrix and catalyst’ (Ascott, 1966): an intelligent virtual art object acting as a metaphor to perform the embodied spectatorship. The title ‘Noise of Becoming’ is to identify the embodied spectatorship as a primary trigger for self-abjection, which actively discharges an excess of self-censorship as a direct result from the “Instagrammable” affirmation-seeking behaviors and the lattices of virtual affiliation inside of the echo chamber. I will further discuss how to embody the diffractive process in my practice to interrupt the reproduction of the same narrative elsewhere.
Visiones rizomáticas de la enseñanza de la matemática como decolonialidad
Authors:   Universidad de Oriente, Cumaná, Venezuela, Rodríguez Milagros Elena
Published: October 2020

La indagación enmarcada en la línea de investigación titulada “Transepistemologías de los saberes y transmetodologías transcomplejas” analiza el imperativo de decolonizar la enseñanza de la matemática en el Sur, como posiciones transepistémicas bajo estructuras rizomáticas, que contribuirán a generar una nueva visión de la matemática: compleja, transdisciplinar, religada, solidaria y decolonizada. Se posiciona la mirada en el Sur, donde la matemática ha tenido grandes avances desde el origen de la humanidad y que han sido encubiertas con la colonización. Emergen discusiones pendientes de otra educación matemática que nos permita asumirnos como sujetos históricos y políticos que dan sentido a su existencia al romper su sujeción ideológica a los marcos epistémicos, culturales, axiológicos y ontológicos sobre los que se erigió e instituye la actual matriz de dominación neocolonial de la enseñanza de la matemática modernista.

En este momento la red está desarrollando una ta­rea intensa: asumimos el ambicioso proyecto de conformar un foro de investigación educativa con el propósito de tener un espacio de diálogo y discusión, además de consolidar nuestra formación como investigadores; se cuenta ya con una página web —www.rediech.org— que aspiramos se convierta en un medio que nos conecte académicamente a nivel local, nacional e internacional. Por otra parte, hay una rela­ción de trabajo muy estrecha con la Red Mexicana de Investigadores de la Investi­gación Educativa –Redmiie– y con el Consejo Mexicano de Investigación Educativa –Comie– para la elaboración de un diagnóstico estatal de la investigación educativa. Y desde luego, el proyecto que hoy presentamos: La Revista de Investigación Educa­tiva de la Rediech. Esta publicación significa para el equipo la evidencia de que estamos avanzando y de que nuestros anhelos se convirtieron en realidad, trabajando juntos, mano a mano, en torno a metas comunes.
La vida cotidiana en las escuelas secundarias: contexto, escenario y actores
Authors: Fuentes Reza Ricardo
Published: October 2020

Con este trabajo se pretende destacar la manera en que el contexto adquiere una alta significación para la vida interna de las escuelas. Lo que sucede fuera de los establecimientos es tanto o más importante para la vida institucional que lo que sucede dentro de los muros. Estas condiciones marcan pautas para el trabajo de los profesores y directivos, y rebasan el ámbito académico para proyectarse hacia la atención de las necesidades sociales y culturales de cada comunidad.
La reforma en secundaria desde la perspectiva de los directivos
Authors: Loya Ortega Carmen Griselda
Published: October 2020

El texto que tiene en sus manos es el producto de una investigación, efectuada en instituciones del nivel de secundaria que pertenecen al subsistema estatal en la ciudad de Chihuahua, Chih. El proceso investigativo generó conocimiento que permite estar al tanto de las perspectivas que construyen los sujetos objeto de estudio, de cara a la implementación de la reforma que se ha emprendido en las instituciones de educación secundaria desde el año 2006. El apartado de resultados integra, en dos dimensiones (la pedagógica y la organizacional), las voces de los actores, rescatadas a lo largo de las tres etapas en las que se estructura el seguimiento del que da cuenta este escrito. Las opiniones se interpretan y contrastan con las aspiraciones planteadas en documentos que sustentan la reforma, y se considera su incidencia como promotor o limitante para el cambio que se intenta suscitar.
Creatividad y sentido en el investigador educativo
Authors: Elizondo Schmelkes Nora
Published: October 2020

Este trabajo presenta el tema de la creatividad como dirección para fomentar el pensamiento reflexivo, crítico y estratégico en la investigación educativa, y como una parte crucial en el sentido e identidad del investigador, ya sea de manera individual, familiar, laboral y social, con la finalidad de que éste se desarrolle y pueda enfrentar los retos presentes y futuros. Fomentar la creatividad en la investigación educativa es un camino que permite el desarrollo del potencial del investigador. Los elementos cotidianos de la creatividad pueden ser la herramienta más cercana que tiene el investigador para desarrollarla y traer un sentido a su vida que se refleje en beneficios para sí mismo, su labor como investigador y su entorno.

Authors: Mayagoitia Padilla Eva América
Published: October 2020

Este artículo reporta los resultados de un estudio efectuado en dos escuelas de educación indígena del estado de Chihuahua, México. Se analiza el bilingüismo individual que practican alumnos de primer ciclo de primaria, identificando los grupos lingüísticos existentes. Se utilizó el enfoque de métodos mixtos, desde un diseño incrustado con predominio del componente cualitativo, efectuando procesos de observación del comportamiento lingüístico de los niños(as), y la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas con padres y alumnos. Se identificaron cuatro tipos de bilingüismo individual, en cuya conformación influyen los usos lingüísticos producidos en las familias, destacando la decisión de los padres de enseñar a sus hijos(as), una, otra u ambas lenguas como lengua(s) materna(s). Sobresalió la influencia de la edad y la experiencia es- colar en el aprendizaje del castellano como segunda lengua y la condición irreversible del uso del castellano como única lengua, en los alumnos monolingües en castellano.

El conocimiento del conocimiento: la obra de Edgar Morin y la problemática de la educación mexicana
Authors: Álvarez Nieto Ma. Guadalupe
Published: October 2020

Este artículo relaciona aspectos del pensamiento epistemológico de Morin con la problemática que enfrenta la educación básica, en especial el aprendizaje permanente de los profesores. El objetivo del trabajo es reflexionar sobre las responsabilidades cognoscitivas de todo docente, pues este se considera elemento clave de la educación. Asimismo, vislumbrar la profesionalización como posibilidad de aprendizaje permanente, y así establecer las bases para diseñar un esquema cognoscitivo que, adecuándose a las circunstancias de la práctica docente en la educación básica, enfrente y transforme dichas circunstancias. La idea eje del artículo sostiene que la educación puede propiciar un aprendizaje con el cual el sujeto sea capaz de someter a crítica su propio conocimiento y detectar errores e ilusiones cognoscitivas. Inicialmente, el texto expone una breve problematización de la educación mexicana; enseguida cuestiona las nociones de conocimiento vigentes en el sistema educativo. Luego analiza el reto epistemológico de la complejidad y se reflexiona sobre el carácter fragmentario de la cultura educativa. Por último, se atisba en la visión sistémica de Morin y se formulan algunas conclusiones que realmente intentan abrir posibilidades al estudio de su obra, aplicada a la profesionalización de los docentes.

TERMINOLOGY CONFUSION IN ENSURING CYBERSPACE SECURITY
Authors: ŠTRUCL DAMJAN
Published: October 2020

Povzetek
Terminologija je temeljna za razumevanje in obravnavanje neke tematike, še posebej, če ta tematika vpliva na reševanje varnostnih vprašanj v sodobnem varnostnem okolju, ki ni omejeno le na fizične meje in posamične države. Svet je s kibernetskim prostorom in informacijskim okoljem postal soodvisen ter medsebojno povezan s pomočjo informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, zato so se pojavili novi termini, ki jih posamezniki, strokovna javnost, države in mednarodna skupnost razumejo drugače in se posledično tudi različno odzivajo, kar vpliva na varnost vseh sodelujočih. V prispevku želimo prikazati, da urejanje varnosti v kibernetskem prostoru brez enotne in strokovne terminologije ni dovolj, še posebej, če upoštevamo definicijo kibernetske varnosti.

Ključne besede
Terminologija, zaščita informacij, informacijska varnost, kibernetska varnost, kibernetska obramba.

Abstract

Terminology is fundamental to understanding and addressing a particular topic, especially if that topic has implications for addressing security issues in a modern security environment that is not limited to physical borders and individual countries. With the existence of cyberspace and information environment, the world has through the use of information and communication technology become interdependent and interconnected. As a result, new terms have emerged which are understood differently by individuals, the professional public, countries and the international community. Consequently, their responses differ, also affecting the security of all the involved entities. The aim of this article is to show that the regulation of security in cyberspace without uniform and professional terminology is not enough, especially if we consider the definition of cyber security.

Key words

Terminology, information assurance, information security, cyber security, cyber defence.
