Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Umbilical-cord acidemia may indicate perinatal asphyxia and places a neonate at increased risk for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Our specific aim was to develop a standardized clinical care pathway, ensuring timely identification and evaluation of neonates with umbilical-cord acidemia at risk for HIE.

METHODS

A standardized clinical care pathway to screen inborn neonates ≥36 weeks with abnormal cord blood gases (a pH of ≤7.0 or base deficit of ≥10) for HIE was implemented in January 2016. Abnormal cord blood gases resulted in a direct notification from the laboratory to an on-call physician. Evaluation included a modified Sarnat examination, postnatal blood gas, and standardized documentation. The percentage of neonates in which physician notification, documented Sarnat examination, and postnatal blood gas occurred was examined for 6 months before and 35 months after implementation.

RESULTS

Of 203 neonates with abnormal cord gases in the post–quality improvement (QI) period, physician notification occurred in 92%. In the post-QI period, 94% had a documented Sarnat examination, and 94% had postnatal blood gas, compared with 16% and 11%, respectively, of 87 neonates in the pre-QI period. In the post-QI period, of those evaluated, >96% were documented within 4 hours of birth. In the post-QI period, 15 (7.4%) neonates were cooled; 13 were in the NICU at time of identification, but 2 were identified in the newborn nursery and redirected to the NICU for cooling.

CONCLUSIONS

A standardized screening pathway in neonates with umbilical-cord acidemia led to timely identification and evaluation of neonates at risk for HIE.
Rabies in Europe in 2010-2019
Authors: Flis M.
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the epizootic and epidemiological situation of rabies in European countries during the last decade. The presented results indicate that the oral immunisation of fox anti-rabies (ORV), used in many European countries, significantly reduced the number of rabies cases found in ground mammals, but did not eliminate the virus at all. Currently, the largest reservoir of the virus are Eastern European countries where there are no immunisation activities or their effectiveness is low. Due to the absence of geographical barriers, the virus reappears in countries that have been described as free from rabies. As a rule, it is dragged into these areas along with the movement of companion animals and by people travelling to countries where the prevalence of the virus is common. It should be emphasised that due to the significant elimination of the virus in wild and domestic animals, it found quite quickly found a new reservoir in a specific group of mammals, having the ability to fly, like bats. Currently there is no possibility of carrying out any preventive measures in bats, so all the virus strains found in this group of animals are dangerous to humans, raising possibilities of epidemiological threat. It should be noted that despite the significant elimination of rabies in many European countries, given the almost unlimited possibilities of virus transmission to new areas, it still poses a serious threat to public health. Thus, it is necessary to constantly monitor the occurrence of the virus and possibly take preventive actions in terms of its elimination from the environment.
The Effect of Connecting Bridges on Vortex-induced Vibration of Skyscrapers
Authors: Köhserli Mehmet , Várkonyi Péter L.
Published: December 2021

The shapes of slender skyscrapers are unfavourable for carrying horizontal loads. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of improving their structural behaviour by adding urban-scale networks of structural connections among the buildings. We focus on vibrations of skyscrapers in response to wind-induced vortex shedding. We develop a conceptual model of those structural networks composed of springs, dampers and point masses. The proposed model enables rapid numerical simulations involving large networks, which is not possible in the case of more detailed engineering models. The effect of connections, dilatation gaps, and network size are investigated for random collections of high-rise buildings, and triangular networks of horizontal bar connections among them. It is found that connections efficiently reduce vibrations in the network, especially for large network size. This study aims to be a first step towards uncovering the benefits of a novel form of urban development.

Digital Management: Concept or Tools?
Authors: Pozharitskaya Irina
Published: December 2021

A modern enterprise management system cannot do without resource management. At the same time, the implementation of digital transformation is impossible without providing necessary digital resources. The analysis of modern economic scientific literature shows that there is no unified approach to the management of digital resources from the point of view of the digital economy, the need for the formation of digital management. We used methods of comparison, induction, and deduction, modeling and conceptualization. The study identified the differences in the methodological approach of various authors to cognitive management and concluded that the concept of knowledge management, transformed literally in one decade, has reached a new level of conceptualization. Without having reached its full potential, cognitive management is being transformed into digital management, using the best practices as a basis. The comparative characteristics of cognitive and digital management allow us to talk about the development of a conceptual platform based on the resource approach. The study identified the components of the conceptual model of digital management: methodological base, factors, subjects, objects, subject and methodological tools. We recommend to use digital resources as a subject of digital management, which broadens the field for future research and improvement of the conceptual platform.
Methods and the Process of Innovative Assessment of the Potential of Metallurgical Companies
Authors: Pakulov Sergey
Published: December 2021

The study examined the methods of evaluation of innovative activities of metallurgical and non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises. We recommend eliminating difficulties for the development of non-ferrous metallurgy companies in order to attract more domestic and foreign investors to the national economy, as well as to strengthen trade in this area. In this regard, we can attract investors with our innovative projects. The state of the innovative sources of industrial companies has made it possible to better understand the causes of the slow development of this sector. Unfortunately, to date, there is no generally accepted methodology for assessing the innovative development of a company and its impact on the development of the investment business, which would make it possible to identify factors that contribute to the development of innovative potential. Therefore, it is difficult for an investor to choose an innovative project when evaluating the innovative attractiveness of an economic entity itself, and for this the state must create incentives so that the level of economic development of the country is less dependent on such investors.
A Sense of Coherence in the Time Perspective
Authors: Gaevskaya Larisa
Published: December 2021

The article examined the ratio of temporal perspective and the components of the sense of coherence that is of particular interest from a position of describing the quality of life experience. In the study we used the time perspective scale developed by F. Zimbardo. The main purpose of this article is to study how such components of coherence as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability of life are reflected on the person’s perception of the spatiotemporal quality of life. The study established significant (positive and negative) correlations between the components of the sense of coherence and time perspective. The study found that the meaningfulness of life as an emotional component is not an indicator of a person's purposefulness or positive emotions in relation to the past and present. But comprehension largely affects the importance of what is happening in the present and in the past. Controllability is rather an indicator of the unity of the life temporary line. The overall level of coherence reflects the level of coherence of the past, present, and future. The subjects who have a more positive attitude to their own past and present, which is under their control, showed a predominance of the level of comprehension and a decrease in the level of meaningfulness. At the same time, an increase in the level of meaningfulness entails a decrease in the focus on the future. But the level of controllability of life depends only on the level of fatalism of the present.

Authors: Kazarina Marina , Chernopilskaya Galina
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the problematic issues of implementing the principle of equality of citizens in the regulations of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on life imprisonment. In particular, the authors consider the existence of gender discrimination against men in Part 2 of Article 57 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which includes a legislative ban on sentencing all women to life imprisonment. A comprehensive study of this aspect is conducted. The rules of law that confirm the principle of equality of citizens and prohibit discrimination are analyzed. Researchers’ opinions on the presence (absence) of discrimination against men are revealed. The legal position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the European Court of Human Rights with regard to the rule of not sentencing women to life imprisonment, which violates the principle of equality of citizens, and prohibition of discrimination is considered. The authors’ position concerning the problem of the actual application of life imprisonment to men aged 18–64 years and ways to solve it are offered.
David Tuesday Adamo's Academic Context: Nigerian Biblical Studies Navigating between African Interpretive Concerns and Western Scholarly Traditions
Authors: Holter Knut
Published: December 2021

The essay focuses on some aspects of Nigerian biblical studies, that is, Prof David Tuesday Adamo's immediate academic context. The core question of the essay is how the balance between African interpretive concerns and Western scholarly traditions has developed over the last four decades in the Nigerian guild of critical biblical studies. First, the 1980s were characterised by a more or less Western dominance but it saw the beginning of an institutionally and hermeneutically self-conscious Nigerian biblical studies. Second, the early 2020s are still characterised by Western dominance but it sees an increasing interest for interpretive concerns as those voiced by Nigerian biblical scholars. Professor Adamo has been part of the Nigerian guild of biblical studies throughout these four decades and his academic publications serve as an illustration of the material.
Culture in Biblical Interpretation: The Use of Yoruba Cultural Elements in Adamo's African Cultural Hermeneutics
Authors: Dada Adekunle O.
Published: December 2021

African Cultural Hermeneutics is an approach in biblical interpretation that makes African socio-cultural context a subject of interpretation. This article shows how Adamo has deployed effectively Yoruba cultural elements in the development of this interpretative grid. This is done with a view to determining the extent to which he has engaged successfully the biblical text in a way that has translated to a better understanding of the Bible in Africa. A descriptive approach is adopted as the basic methodology for the article. Yoruba cultural archival resources such as traditions, songs, oracles, folklores and incantations (potent words) are appropriated to make the Bible come alive and relevant. For Adamo, these traditional resources have helped to elucidate the Bible and make its message meaningful for its average reader in Africa. Employing African cultural elements in the interpretative process should however be done with some measured caution.
The Literary Motif of Cush in the Old Testament
Authors: Lavik Marta Hoyland
Published: December 2021

There are 56 references to Cush in the Old Testament and these occur in all the three main corpuses of the Hebrew Bible namely the Law, the Prophets and the Writings. Traditional historical-critical scholarship has not showed great interest in the Old Testament texts about Cush. However, the Nigerian biblical scholar David Tuesday Adamo has through his many contributions about the Cush texts made the guild observant of what can be labelled an African presence in the Old Testament given that Cush is applied as a literary motif in the Old Testament. Following a presentation of the Cush texts in the Old Testament, this paper examines how the literary motif of Cush functions in the text, taking Isaiah 18 as a representative example.

Published: December 2021

This method was developed at the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition for GenomeTrakr’s pandemic response project, monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater. Protocols developed for this project cover wastewater collection, concentration, RNA extraction, RT-qPCR detection, library prep, genome sequencing, quality control checks, and data submission to NCBI. This protocol describes triplex and duplex assays for the RT-qPCR detection of the nucleocapsid region of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. These assays, along with the murine norovirus (MNV; extraction control) and crAssphage (human indicator) RT-qPCR assay (RT-qPCR Detectionof Process Controls (Murine noroviurs and crAssphage) from Wastewater (protocols.io)), were developed for use on the AB 7500 platform using software version 2.0 or 2.3. All assays incorporate an internal amplification control (IC) to prevent the reporting of false negatives due to inhibition or failure of the RT-qPCR. These multiplexed detection assays were developed for the qualitative determination SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene extracted from wastewater. Valid sample results are contingent upon the detection of the MNV extraction control from the sample being tested.
Teacher Written vs. Audio Feedback on Undergraduates’ Written Assignments
Authors: Alharbi Mohammed Abdullah , Alghammas Abdurrazzag
Published: December 2021

Due to the importance of instructor’s feedback on students’ written assignment as part of formative assessment and the relatively new way of delivering audio feedback, this case study aimed to explore instructor’s audio vs. written feedback provided on 15 pairs of undergraduates’ written tasks through Google Docs over an academic semester in a Saudi public university. The data was collected from actual feedback comments in both modes and follow-up interviews with the students. The content analysis of feedback revealed that audio feedback differed from written feedback in terms of quantity and content. Despite the potential of audio feedback revealed through the content analysis, the majority of students (16) preferred written feedback over audio feedback for its clarity, easiness, easy access to feedback and its focus on a certain issue in the assignments, whereas 14 of them preferred audio feedback. Several challenges highlighted by the students, including its length and detailed instruction and the difficulty in accessing it served as good points for several pedagogical implications for instructors in this study.

The introduction of modular design in total hip arthroplasty has enabled the use of different materials in one single configuration and the adjustment of the prosthesis to the patient’s body, and facilitated medical revisions. However, modularity leads to the presence of new interfaces created between pieces in contact, raising the issue of degradation.  Tribocorrosion phenomena have been identified as the main degradation mechanism due to the mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical conditions acting on the materials.  In addition, conditions inside the human body are unclear, regarding electrochemical settings and the interaction between the electrochemical and mechanical action. This work is focused on the degradation of monopolar hip joint implants made from biomedical alloys such as stainless steel, Ti, and CoCr alloys. Three cases are presented and analyzed in terms of the degradation level along the trunnion length. Surface analysis done on a titanium trunnion showed a significant ploughing on the distal part, compared to what was found for stainless Steel and cobalt-chromium alloys, which can produce a stuck in this area. Meanwhile, in the proximal part, wear debris is found, which suggests more movement in the internal part. Although few debris particles were identified in CoCr trunnion, a large amount of material inside the contact was observed. This could be related to the ploughing generated in the distal thread pattern, which allowed the material to come inside and outside the contact.

CONDITIONS FOR FORMATION OF EFFECTIVE EMPLOYMENT
Authors: Petrova Iryna , Lopushnyak Halyna
Published: December 2021

The article presents the idea of ​​developing the concept of effective employment and creating conditions for its implementation. Under modern conditions, theoretical constructs of full and productive employment contradict the requirements of innovation and information society, do not take into account the peculiarities of modern human resources, socialization of social and labor relations, the priority of improving the quality of life. Instead, the concept of effective employment resolves this contradiction, as it covers not only the economic results of employment, but also its social effectiveness. Employment can be considered effective, when ensures the productive use of human resources and, at the same time, leads to a significant increase in the living conditions of workers.

The article notes that at the moment the Ukrainian economy has a model of inefficient employment. This is evidenced by underutilization of human potential, lack of effective jobs, the presence and even growth of unemployment, the spread of informal employment, imbalances, structural and regional disparities in the labor market, increasing migratory outflows of the working population. Employment inefficiencies affect the decline in key macroeconomic indicators.

The article proves the need to develop a model of effective employment and proposes measures for its practical implementation. Among the factors of building an effective employment system in the article the emphasis is on such measures as the transition to indirect, soft forms of human resource management, stimulating innovative economic development in all its spheres and activities, developing flexible forms of employment, promoting self-employment, active social policy, including, first of all, modernization of relations in the field of compensation policy.

There have been many limitations reported with using the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), including complexity, and being difficult to apply among aphasic, intubated, and pediatric patients. Accordingly, many researchers exerted serious efforts to enhance and modify the scale to make it more applicable and easy to interpret in these settings. The simplified motor score (SMS) was reported in the literature in 2012 for the assessment of patients with coma in different traumatic and non-traumatic settings. In the present study, we have discussed the findings of previous studies in the literature that compared the efficacy between the SMS and GCS in the assessment of patients with traumatic brain injuries within the emergency department and out-patient settings. Our results indicate the efficacy of the SMS is similar to that of the GCS score in predicting the different outcomes, including functional performance, need to perform tracheal intubation and hospital admission. Nevertheless, evidence regarding the prediction of mortality seems to be inconsistent across the different investigations. However, the differences between the two scores is not remarkable among these studies, indicating that the SMS is an efficacious tool in this regard within an acceptable test performance results. Furthermore, the SMS score can be easily applied within these without performing complex approaches, which makes it more advantageous than the GCS. However, this evidence is based on a limited number of investigations, and more studies are required.

Published: December 2021

Ovarian pathology ranges from innocuous non-neoplastic lesions to malignant neoplastic entities. The incidence, clinical appearance and the behaviour of the different types of ovarian tumour is extremely variable. In order to have a better understanding of frequency and histomorphological patterns of different ovarian lesions study was encountered in our tertiary care hospital.

To study the histopathology of ovarian non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions and to study the distribution of ovarian lesions with respect to various parameters like age, bilaterality, gross and microscopic features.

This is a prospective study of 125 ovarian specimens received in department of pathology, G.K. General Hospital, Bhuj during August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020.

Total 125 cases of ovarian specimens were studied, amongst them 58 were non-neoplastic and remaining 67 were neoplastic. The most common non-neoplastic lesion seen was follicular cysts 12 cases (21%), followed by endometriosis 9 cases (16%). Among 67 neoplastic ovarian lesions 58(87%) cases were benign, 3(4%) cases were borderline and 6 (9%) cases were malignant. In benign ovarian neoplasm, most commonly seen lesions were serous cystadenoma 24 cases (36%) followed by 13 cases (20%) of mature cystic teratoma. In malignant cases, maximum was of high-grade serous cystadenocarcinoma.

Ovarian epithelial tumours are the most common type, while serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common malignancy. Histological examination is gold standard and in certain difficult cases require immunohistochemistry.

Ovary is an important reproductive organ with involvement in production of progeny.Ovarian pathology ranges from innocuous non-neoplastic lesions to malignant neoplastic entities. Ovarian neoplasms have become increasingly important not only because of the wide range of neoplasms, but also because they have gradually increased the mortality rate. The incidence, clinical appearance and the behaviour of the different types of ovarian tumour is extremely variable.
Synovial chondromatosis of the foot: A case report with brief review
Authors: Shams Asbah , Das Abhijit , Sinha Madhu , Shams Asfa
Published: December 2021

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign disorder which commonly involves the large joints and is characterised by the proliferation of cartilaginous nodules beneath the synovial membrane. We report a case of an elderly male who presented with pain and swelling of the right foot since five years. Proper clinico- radiological and histological evaluation of this case led to the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis which was managed surgically and patient’s symptoms were relieved. The rare occurrence of this entity in the small joints of hands and feet and the presence of several close differentials, warrants a thorough clinico-radiological and histological work-up to prevent unnecessary surgical exploration.

Published: December 2021

Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma (ChRCC) is a rare distinct subtype of Renal cell carcinoma. It arises from intercalated cells of the renal cortex. The cytomorphological features of ChRCC show significant overlap with Clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (CCRCC) and Oncocytoma. The prognosis of ChRCC is intermediate between benign Renal Oncocytoma and the relatively aggressive CCRCC. Hence, a correct pre or intra-operative cytodiagnosis helps in deciding the extent of surgery. We report a case of eosinophilic variant of ChRCC in a 70 years female, diagnosed on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC).The Immunocytochemistry (ICC), histology and Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of ChRCC. Diagnosing ChRCC; especially its eosinophilic variant on FNAC is very challenging. Prominent cellular heterogeneity, pleomorphism, perinuclear halos and binucleation are important diagnostic clues for cytodiagnosis of ChRCC. In difficult cases, ICC helps in confirming the diagnosis.

Filariasis is a major health problem in many tropical countries including India. Most commonly affected organs are lymphatics of lower limbs, retroperitoneal tissue, spermatic cord, epididymis and breast. Despite high incidence, it is infrequent to find microfilariae in fine needle aspiration cytology smears and body fluids. Microfilaremia is usually detected in blood or skin specimens. Cytological examination with FNAC is an investigation of choice especially in patients with evident swelling with difficult clinical diagnosis. We present a case of spermatic cord microfilariasis in a 32 years male presented with right scrotal swelling with dancing filarial sign on ultrasonograpghy, while the peripheral blood smear was negative for the organism.
Charakterystyka kolistych DNA u Eukarya
Authors: Gumińska Natalia , Milanowski Rafał
Published: December 2021

W komórkach eukariotycznych DNA występuje głównie w formie liniowej, upakowanej w chromosomy. Poza tym może też przybierać postać kolistych cząsteczek. Najdokładniej zbadane zostały koliste DNA odgrywające rolę genomów mitochondriów i chloroplastów. Niemniej zasób kolistych DNA u Eukarya jest znacznie szerszy. Obejmuje również pozachromosomowe cząsteczki (ang. extrachromosomal circular DNA; eccDNA): koliste formy rDNA, pierścienie telomerowe, małe polidyspersyjne DNA, mikroDNA oraz inne typy kolistych DNA o pochodzeniu jądrowym. Występowanie eccDNA potwierdzono u wszystkich organizmów testowanych w tym zakresie. Dotychczasowe badania wykazały, że niektóre eccDNA są obecne na każdym etapie cyklu komórkowego, podczas gdy inne pojawiają się i/lub ulegają nagromadzeniu w szczególnych okolicznościach. Dowiedziono, że akumulacja eccDNA nierzadko zachodzi w następstwie poważnej destabilizacji genomu, będącej wynikiem stanów chorobowych czy stresu. Choć w środowisku naukowym wzrasta zainteresowanie eccDNA, pozostają one słabo poznanym składnikiem genomów eukariotycznych. Nadal niewiele wiadomo na temat mechanizmów ich formowania, ewolucji oraz ich funkcji biologicznych.
Nukleozydo boranofosfoniany jako potencjalne środki terapeutyczne
Authors: Filipiak Eliza , Gołębiewska Justyna
Published: December 2021

Nukleozydo boranofosfoniany to analogi nukleotydów, w których jeden z niemostkowych atomów tlenu z części fosforanowej został zastąpiony grupą boranową (-BH3). Związki te wykazują szerokie spektrum aktywności biologicznej, między innymi aktywują rybonukleazę H, są odporne na działanie endo- i egzonukleaz, a ich trifosforany są dobrymi substratami dla polimeraz DNA i RNA. Pochodne nukleozydo boranofosfonianów stosowane są między innymi w terapii antysensowej, w wyciszaniu ekspresji genów za pomocą techniki siRNA oraz jako potencjalne proleki antywirusowe i antynowotworowe. Boranofosfoniany są także wykorzystywane przy projektowaniu aptamerów oraz w nowej metodzie sekwencjonowania DNA. W niniejszej pracy skrótowo przedstawiono potencjalne biologiczne zastosowania boranofosfonianów.
PROFESOR LECH WOJTCZAK (1926-2019) WE WSPOMNIENIACH CZWÓRKI SWYCH WYCHOWANKÓW
Authors: Nałęcz Maciej J. , Barańska Jolanta , Famulski Konrad S. , Szewczyk Adam
Published: December 2021

Nagłe odejście Profesora Lecha Wojtczaka, wspaniałego biochemika i człowieka a naszego Mentora i Przyjaciela, pozostawiło pustkę i smutek, którego nie da się oswoić. Po dwóch latach wciąż żywe są wspomnienia i Jego brak tym dotkliwszy. Stąd postanowiliśmy napisać te osobiste refleksje o Nim, a każde z nas skupiło się na nieco innym elemencie postaci Lecha. Staraliśmy się wybrać te elementy, które nie były dotychczas podkreślane w licznych artykułach i wspomnieniach, jakie ukazały się bezpośrednio po Jego śmierci. Nie jest to zatem jeszcze jeden pełen tekst o twórcy polskiej bioenergetyki i jednym z największych polskich biochemików, ale subiektywny wybór uwag o człowieku, dzięki któremu wszyscy czworo jesteśmy w nauce. Układ naszych wspomnień jest chronologiczny. Zaczyna Profesor Jolanta Barańska, współpracowniczka Lecha od 1968 roku, potem Profesor Maciej Nałęcz, który zaczął swą pracę z Lechem w 1976 roku, po nim Profesor Konrad S. Famulski, który dołączył do zespołu Profesora Wojtczaka w 1978 roku, a kończy Profesor Adam Szewczyk, najmłodszy, który w Pracowni Profesora Wojtczaka pojawił się w 1984 roku, jeszcze jako magistrant.

Gianni Vattimo: política y democracia. Más conflicto que diálogo
Authors: Rivera Víctor Samuel
Published: December 2021

Este artículo intenta esclarecer el concepto de democracia dentro de la hermenéutica nihilista de Gianni Vattimo. El objetivo principal es establecer las pautas que dan sentido a la retórica del autor en torno de temas públicos, que este encuentra ligado a un marco conceptual que la historiografía conoce como la posición “heideggeriana de izquierdas”. Este heideggerianismo se pretende de izquierdas en tanto agenda anarquista o comunista contra las instituciones de la democracia liberal como parte de un diagnóstico pesimista sobre el régimen hegemónico del Occidente, que considera “metafísico” y “falta de emergencia”, esto es, supuestamente impermeable a los cambios y reivindicaciones sociales. El turinés, sin embargo, pretende ser partidario de la democracia en un sentido distinto, en la fórmula “del diálogo al conflicto”; en este contexto, intentaremos mostrar el uso efectivo de “democracia” como concepto político y social en las obras de Vattimo, observar sus posibles incoherencias y ver la manera de encontrarles consistencia discursiva. Para eso, se va a mostrar que el turinés se halla dentro de una versión pluralista de la democracia por medio de un análisis comparativo con la versión radical de la democracia ofrecida por Chantall Mouffe en 2004. Con este procedimiento, se intenta dar indicios para reinterpretar la posición heideggeriana de izquierda como una forma alternativa de régimen político liberal en la clave pluralista o de democracia radical hermenéutica. Como un balance, esta propuesta de incorporar la retórica nihilista en una teoría democrática tendría la ventaja de dar cabida conceptual a los conflictos sociales como parte de las dinámicas de reconocimiento de la diversidad dentro de la democracia, pasando desde una postura metafísica y cerrada a otra abierta a la escucha de la diferencia y el cambio social.
Estrategias metacognitivas de los docentes en un programa de Contaduría Pública en la ciudad de Bogotá, centrado en blended learning
Authors: Gómez González Edgar , Moreno Sánchez Gabriel Enrique , Escobar Melgarejo David Isnardo
Published: December 2021

Enmarcados en un enfoque cualitativo, en este artículo se presentan algunos elementos teóricos de la metodología blended learning (aprendizaje semipresencial o combinado) con el fin de caracterizar las estrategias metacognitivas de los docentes del programa de Contaduría Pública de la Universidad Santo Tomás de Bogotá. A partir de una fase teórico-conceptual se construyó un cuestionario que se aplicó a los docentes para determinar los aspectos cognitivos y metacognitivos que se pueden considerar propios de una profesión como la contaduría pública, a la vez que se identificaron los criterios centrales del instrumento: planeación y diseño, implementación, control y evaluación, sin perder de vista las potencialidades e influencias del entorno educativo. Por otra parte, la presente investigación pone de manifiesto que el tema de la metodología virtual está presente en la planeación del trabajo docente, aunque en la práctica aún falta desarrollar toda su acción.
La profesionalización de la función de cumplimiento: lidiando con la tensión y carencia de legitimidad
Authors: Velásquez Lina M.
Published: December 2021

En respuesta a los numerosos escándalos relacionados con fraude, lavado de activos y corrupción, las autoridades de algunos países de Latinoamérica han respondido con un aumento en la regulación que busca castigar este tipo de infracciones, al tiempo que han intentado incentivar a las empresas a que adopten e implementen programas de cumplimiento. Con ello se ha generado paulatinamente una necesidad de contar con personal encargado del diseño, implementación y monitoreo de estos mecanismos de prevención y control de riesgos de cumplimiento. Sin embargo, el problema radica en que las personas dedicadas a ello no han tenido acceso a entrenamiento formal, debido a la escasa, por no decir inexistente, oferta académica formal en la región. Con esto en mente, el artículo ofrece una reflexión sobre por qué sería necesario profesionalizar la función de cumplimiento, derivada de una revisión de artículos electrónicos desde 1998 hasta la fecha. Por un lado, el artículo argumenta que este sería el camino para dotar de herramientas a una función que está en constante tensión entre la ambigüedad de la norma y los requerimientos de reguladores, competidores y no competidores y las necesidades propias de la organización, y por el otro una manera de enfrentar su escasa legitimidad y escepticismo generalizado dentro de las organizaciones.
