Museu é uma ponte entre tempos, espaços, indivíduos, culturas, grupos sociais e arte onde as exigências e possibilidades da presença dentro deste espaço depende de fatores externos de disputa simbólicas e de poder. Mudar este cenário é parte da luta do povo negro e o Museu Afro-Brasil-Sul – MABSul surge da inquietação de uma parcela da população negra do Sul do Brasil, sobre a representatividade do negro nos espaços dos museus. Como há uma cultura de que este não tem história para ser preservada e apresentada, uma miríade de profissionais reuniu-se na busca de dados, pessoas, fatos, histórias que comprovem a luta, a resistência e a preservação do negro na região comumente designada como o Brasil Meridional, que abrange os estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná. Para alcançar seus objetivos o MABSul fez uso de recursos tecnológicos, aliando-se à Museologia, para juntos fazerem uma reflexão acerca dos conceitos museológicos na luta antirracista em busca de uma sociedade menos desigual, implantando uma plataforma virtual, usando como estratégia as redes sociais para apresentar ao povo negro uma nova história sobre velhos fatos. Este relatório apresenta a forma como profissionais elaboraram, instrumentalizam e dispuseram a plataforma no site da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) com o uso do plugin Tainacan, uma plataforma de repositório digital que armazena dados coletados na pesquisa empírica. O MABSul faz uso das redes sociais com a intenção de chegar nos lugares mais remotos deste país e assim mudar realidades através da educação antirracista. O resultado deste trabalho no combate ao racismo é envolvente, pois apresenta dados positivos de como a internet, uma rede de conexões globais, pode ser uma aliada na preservação das memórias negras, agora valorizadas no espaço do museu virtual.
ENCONTROS EM CULTURA E ARTE
Authors: Santos Pinheiro Eraldo , Santos Eleonora
Published: February 2023

A arte é um elemento da cultura e faz parte da formação humana, mesmo que não se tenha consciência disso! Ao romper com o determinismo biológico os humanos passaram a acrescentar à natureza elementos que caracterizam a sua existência. O modo como um povo ou algum grupo social percebe e pensa sobre si – no tocante a um conjunto de valores, pensamentos, objetos materiais e simbologia imaterial – são elementos da cultura. Por mais que neste momento uma pequena parcela da sociedade tente minimizar a importância do elemento cultural arte, a sua potência e o seu impacto na vida humana não permite que esse fenômeno ocorra. Porque a arte faz parte do cotidiano do ser humano, a arte está entranhada no âmago humano. A arte evoca sentimentos, provoca reações. Imaginem o nosso mundo sem a arte!? Seria possível? Nos parece que não!! As universidades públicas do nosso país têm o dever de prezar pelo ensino, pesquisa e extensão, de forma gratuita e que prime pela qualidade. Ademais, preservar elementos que são suprimidos em detrimento de outras áreas do conhecimento que são classificadas como "mais importantes". E a arte é um destes elementos. Não obstante, oferecer espaços para compartilhar saberes, trocas entre os saberes tradicionais e o conhecimento científico ainda é um desafio para nossas universidades. Precisamos ir além, para não cairmos nas armadilhas postas por aquelas pessoas que tentam subjugar elementos da arte e da cultura. Esta edição da revista Expressa Extensão da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, V. 27, N.2, trata de dar visibilidade aos projetos, experiências e ideias que abarquem as mais diversas vivências em extensão que estiveram inspiradas, promoveram, relataram ou que estimularam encontros, produções e diálogos entre a diversidade de saberes culturais artísticos presentes nos espaços de formação universitária do nosso país. Na presente edição a revista Expressão Extensão traz 18 textos, sendo 06 Artigos, 03 Ensaios, 08 Relatórios e 01 texto em Memória Visual da de Extensão. Desejamos uma ótima leitura e que sejamos capazes de nos permitir sermos tocados pela arte.

Published: February 2023

Este artigo trata de um estudo reflexivo teórico sobre a Matemática no Movimento Humano relacionada principalmente com a área de Geometria no ensino básico. Buscamos mostrar alguns tópicos de Geometria na forma dinâmica e visual, elaboramos metodologias ativas para uma educação inovadora. Primeiramente, argumentamos de forma breve sobre os livros didáticos e posteriormente sobre como a Geometria é apresentada neles. Seguimos discutindo formas de como o Movimento Humano: dança, uso do goniômetro e caminhada como forma de medir movimento têm correlações com conceitos matemáticos como: ponto, reta, plano, ângulos e conversão de medidas. Nosso intuito é trazer a temática interdisciplinar como forma de metodologia do que dizer, escrever (modelar matematicamente), bem como do que fazer na prática. Mostramos uma aprendizagem significativa e incentivamos a participação dos discentes na construção do conhecimento.
Synthetic Data Resource and Benchmarks for Time Cell Analysis and Detection Algorithms
Authors: Ananthamurthy Kambadur G. , Bhalla Upinder S.
Published: February 2023

Hippocampal CA1 cells take part in reliable, time-locked activity sequences in tasks that involve an association between temporally separated stimuli, in a manner that tiles the interval between the stimuli. Such cells have been termed time cells. Here, we adopt a first-principles approach to comparing diverse analysis and detection algorithms for identifying time cells. We generated synthetic activity datasets using calcium signals recordedin vivofrom the mouse hippocampus using two-photon (2-P) imaging, as template response waveforms. We assigned known, ground truth values to perturbations applied to perfect activity signals, including noise, calcium event width, timing imprecision, hit trial ratio and background (untuned) activity. We tested a range of published and new algorithms and their variants on this dataset. We find that most algorithms correctly classify over 80% of cells, but have different balances between true and false positives, and different sensitivity to the five categories of perturbation. Reassuringly, most methods are reasonably robust to perturbations, including background activity, and show good concordance in classification of time cells. The same algorithms were also used to analyze and identify time cells in experimental physiology datasets recordedin vivoand most show good concordance.
From Milton to Hamilton and Handel
Authors: Kim Minji
Published: February 2023

In Handel’s oratorio Samson (1742), the aria “Total eclipse” compares Samson’s blindness, inflicted by the enemy’s gouging out of his eyes, to darkness during the total solar eclipse. The librettist Newburgh Hamilton drew the astronomical metaphor as well as the majority of his text for the oratorio from John Milton’s closet drama Samson Agonistes (1671). With respect to scientific knowledge on the eclipses, however, the two works are from very different eras. Examining changing perspectives on eclipses in Britain from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century provides a hitherto unexplored historical context for recognizing the difference in their metaphorical treatments of the phenomenon. It brings to the fore Hamilton’s portrayal of Samson’s sense of divine judgment in his blindness and presents a new textual basis for understanding Handel’s musical setting. The aria reveals the composer’s careful consideration in his choice of key and use of enharmonicism to convey Samson’s apprehension. Studying Handel’s musical language in the context of eighteenth-century music theory and in comparison to other movements in Samson and his earlier works offers deeper insight into his dramatic purpose. This article explores the history of eclipse science, the literary and biblical background to the libretto, and Handel’s compositional technique. It shows their deep interconnection in depicting Samson’s pathos, offering a new perspective not only on the aria and its impact on the rest of the oratorio but also on the contribution of Samson to mid-eighteenth-century musico-dramatic style.

Authors: Cruz-Manjarrez Adriana
Published: February 2023

A más de tres décadas de la migración maya yucateca a Estados Unidos (1990–2018), se tiene noticia del retorno familiar a Yucatán con hijos nacidos en Estados Unidos y del regreso reciente de esta generación a Estados Unidos. Con base en la perspectiva teórica del retorno transnacional, en este artículo analizo cómo las experiencias de retorno y los procesos de integración laboral y social de la generación migrante en México se entrelazan con el regreso reciente de la segunda generación de México a Estados Unidos. Argumento que emigrar y retornar transnacionalmente son estrategias de sobrevivencia familiar que conectan a múltiples generaciones de migrantes y no migrantes en redes familiares extensas y comunitarias a lo largo del circuito migratorio península de Yucatán-California-Oregón-Oklahoma. Finalmente, el artículo también muestra cómo la segunda generación maya yucateca retornada a Estados Unidos ha desarrollado un sentido de identidad y una vida familiar transnacional que la vincula con nuevas experiencias y relaciones locales-comunitarias en Yucatán y Estados Unidos.

Published: February 2023

Previous research presented the effect of nanomaterials on the mechanical properties of composite materials with various volume fraction effects; in addition, their research presented the effect of nanomaterials on the same mechanical characteristics for a composite plate structure, such as vibration and thermal buckling behavior. Therefore, since the use of shell structures is for large applications, it is necessary to investigate the modification of the vibration characteristics of its design with the effect of nanomaterials and study the influence of other reinforced nanoparticle types on its features. Therefore, in this work, silicon nanoparticles were selected to investigate their effect on the vibration behavior of a shell structure. As a result, this work included studying the vibration behavior by testing the shell structure with a vibration test machine. In addition, after manufacturing the composite material shell with various silicon volume fractions, the mechanical properties were evaluated. In addition, the finite element technique with the Ansys program was used to assess and compare the vibration behavior of the shell structure using the numerical technique. The comparison of the results gave an acceptable percentage error not exceeding 10.93%. Finally, the results evaluated showed that the modification with silicon nanomaterials gave very good results since the nanomaterials improved about 65% of the shell's mechanical properties and vibration characteristics.
Parents’ narratives toward smoking in the home following a second-hand smoke story-telling education intervention
Authors: MacNicol Yvonne , Lusher Joanne , Banbury Samantha , Roberts Nicola
Published: February 2023

There is a strong link between cigarette smoking and socio-economic status, with three-quarters of children living in disadvantaged communities being exposed to second-hand smoke. The present study examined parents’ views of smoking in the home after they had been involved in a story-telling education intervention within a nursery environment. Thematic Analysis was conducted to pool together rich data about parents’ attitudes and perceptions of smoking in the home during semi-structured interviews that took place following participation in an education intervention. Emergent themes identified that the story-telling intervention was useful to parents who felt that it might assist in protecting children from the dangers of second-hand smoke. Participants welcomed the story-telling resource used in the intervention and communicated that this allowed for reflection on their own smoking behaviour. Novel findings from this research highlighted how children positively influence their parents into making effective health behaviour decisions in relation to smoking practices. Parents still require information on the dangers posed by second-hand smoke and future research is necessary to adapt a measurable quantitative story-book intervention used for a wider and more diverse family context.
Coinfecciones bacterianas en el tizón foliar y pudrición del bulbo en cebolla (Allium cepa L.)
Authors: Jiménez-Acero Juan Carlos , Raybaudi-Massilia Rosa , González-Almario Adriana
Published: February 2023

Introducción. La cebolla de bulbo (Allium cepa L.) es una hortaliza que se caracteriza por sus escamas carnosas susceptibles al ataque de fitopatógenos que causan pérdidas económicas. Los síntomas de tizón foliar y la pudrición del bulbo, pueden ser causados por diferentes géneros y especies bacterianas que pueden coinfectar al hospedante, lo que dificulta la identificación del agente causal. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de coinfecciones bacterianas en el tizón foliar y la pudrición del bulbo en cebolla. Materiales y métodos. Las bacterias fueron aisladas de plantas de cebollas con síntomas de tizón foliar y pudrición de bulbos, provenientes de cultivos ubicados en Choachí Cundinamarca, Colombia, recolectadas en junio de 2018. Los aislamientos bacterianos se purificaron, identificaron e inocularon de manera individual y en mezcla en hojas y bulbos de cebolla sanos. Se evaluaron seis tratamientos por órgano: tres con infecciones individuales y tres con coinfección. El progreso de la lesión se midió en ambos órganos durante doce días después de la inoculación. Resultados. Se obtuvieron dos especies bacterianas identificadas como Pantoea ananatis y Rahnella aquatilis a partir de los síntomas foliares y del bulbo de cebolla. En las infecciones individuales, la cepa P. ananatis presentó la mayor virulencia con un 34,29 % de daño en el bulbo y un 100 % en hoja, mientras que R. aquatilis generó el menor porcentaje de pudrición en el bulbo (8,87 %) y no produjo tizón. En las coinfecciones, la combinación de P. ananatis y R. aquatilis produjo los menores porcentajes de daño en el bulbo (15 %) y en la hoja (10 %), asociada a una disminución de la expresión de los síntomas. Conclusiones. R. aquatilis actuó como organismo antagonista de P. ananatis y provocó un retraso en el desarrollo de los síntomas de tizón foliar y pudrición del bulbo en cebolla.
Occurrence and trends of musculoskeletal pain among ski instructors
Authors: Čaušević Denis , Kovačević Erol , Mašić Semir , Kovač Siniša , Spicer Seth
Published: February 2023

Background and Study Aim. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are incredibly common and are often related to work load. For any occupational or public health intervention, injury prevention is preferred to injury treatment. Occupational health and injury prevention research has the potential to help mitigate MSD in the workplace. The aim of this study was to determine how the work demands of ski instructors may affect the health of their musculoskeletal system.
Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study involved the participation of 87 ski instructors (age = 34.61 ±10.67) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ATUS in Bosnia and Herzegovina). Observed variables were the prevalence of MSD measured using a modified Nordic questionnaire about injuries during the previous ski season (neck, shoulders, elbows, wrist, upper back, lower back, one or both hips, one or both knees, and ankle). Means and standard deviations for each of the variables were calculated, and differences between genders were examined using an independent sample t-test.
Results. Prevalence of MSDs in ski instructors was most common in neck (13.8%), shoulders (12.6%), elbows (4.6%), wrist (9.2%), upper back (10.3%), lower back (46.0%), one or both hips (9.2%), one or both knees (29.9%), and ankle (9.2%). The results showed statistically significant differences in MSD between genders in the neck (p=.034); shoulders (p=.017); upper back (p=.027); one or both knees (p=.003) and in the ankle joint (p=.011).
Conclusions. MSD’s are common in ski instructors, especially in the low back and knees of female employees. Future research or injury prevention programs would benefit these populations.
Mobile Gamers versus Non-gamer students’ endurance levels via Beep and 3-minute step test
Authors: Lobo Joseph , Bernardo Bryan Dale
Published: February 2023

Background and Study Aim. College students’ activity levels are considerably affected by mobile gaming, according to multiple studies. There have, however, been no studies done to date comparing gamers and non-gamers in terms of their levels of endurance. This present study employed beep and 3-minute step tests to compare mobile gamers’ and non-gamers endurance levels. In addition, the difference between demographic variables such as age, gender, and BMI and participants’ aerobic capacity is a major area of study.
Material and Methods. Students at the City College of Angeles in the Philippines were selected using the Judgement Sampling Technique to take part in the research. Students who participated in the study are enrolled in the 1st Semester of the Academic year 2022-2023. A survey questionnaire consisting of four sections were utilized to obtain information from the respondents. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and an endurance test are all part of the personal profile. Both the beep test and the 3-minute step test were administered to the participants. Results from the participants’ personal profiles, BMIs, and endurance tests were summarized using descriptive statistics like frequency (f) and percentage (%). The Paired T-Test was also used to find out if there was a significant difference in the participants’ endurance between mobile gamers and non-gamers. Finally, the individuals’ age, gender, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were validated with their endurance levels by performing Independent Samples T-Test and One-way ANOVA.
Results. Beep and 3-minute step tests showed that gamers and non-gamers have very different levels of endurance, with the latter group displaying much more stamina than the former. It was also shown that among the three factors studied, gender was the only one with a relationship to endurance.
Conclusions. The study did not take into account factors like health history including nutrition, diet, sleep pattern, lifestyle, health issues, and endurance level on other types of measures. Conducting an inquiry similar to the one that was done, but also taking into account the other variables indicated, is a highly suggested course. Several findings are established, and numerous suggestions for further research, as well as policy and educational applications, are provided.

VIOLÊNCIA, DIREITOS HUMANOS E PRÁTICAS RESTAURATIVAS NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: Lima Cezar Bueno de
Published: February 2023

O artigo problematiza as noções de violência e Direitos Humanos e enfatiza as práticas restaurativas como estratégia resolução de conflitos no espaço escolar. Apoiando-se em autores e conceitos vinculados à teoria crítica e relacional dos temas em questão e à realização de pesquisa de campo, o artigo indaga, no caso da violência, a legitimidade de saberes e práticas institucionais que, na expectativa de resolução dos conflitos, tendem separar e contrapor de modo unilateral as figuras agressor e vítima, faz recair sobre primeiro um inventário de verdades e concepções jurídico-morais punitivas, culpabilizadoras e retributivas. Em relação aos Direitos Humanos, questiona-se a persistência de saberes acadêmico-políticos que conferem maior relevância e visibilidade aos direitos civis e políticos que aos direitos sociais cuja ausência pode impactar diferentes formas de violência entre os estudantes das escolas públicas do ensino médio. No tocante às práticas restaurativas, o resultado almejado da pesquisa é contribuir para a inclusão de diferentes formas de saber e experiencias locais nos processos de compreensão e indução de políticas públicas não violentas de resolução dos conflitos no chão da escola.
AURKA Identified as Potential Lung Cancer Marker through Comprehensive Bioinformatic Analysis and Experimental Verification
Authors: Shi Shan , Qiu Yeqing , Jin Zhongwen , Zhou Jiao , Yu Wenyan , Zhang Hongyu
Published: February 2023

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a malignancy with high overall morbidity and mortality due to a lack of reliable methods for early diagnosis and successful treatment of the condition. We identified genes that would be valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. Common DEGs (DEGs) in three GEO datasets were selected for KEGG and GO enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database, and molecular complex detection (MCODE) identified hub genes. Gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) and the Kaplan-Meier method analyzed hub genes expression and prognostic value. Quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to test for differences in hub gene expression in multiple cell lines. The CCK-8 assay was used to determine the IC50 of the AURKA inhibitor CCT137690 in H1993 cells. Transwell and clonogenic assays validated the function of AURKA in lung cancer, and cell cycle experiments explored its possible mechanism of action. Overall, 239 DEGs were identified from three datasets. AURKA, BIRC5, CCNB1, DLGAP5, KIF11, and KIF15 had shown great potential for lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In vitro experiments suggested that AURKA significantly influenced the proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells and activities related to the dysregulation of the cell cycle. AURKA, BIRC5, CCNB1, DLGAP5, KIF11, and KIF15 may be critical genes that influence the occurrence, development, and prognosis of NSCLC. AURKA significantly affects the proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells by disrupting the cell cycle.
Psychose d’insatisfaction ou syndrome du bovarysme dans Madame Bovary (1857) de Gustave Flaubert
Authors: GAYE Khady
Published: February 2023

Le roman de Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, montre un panorama très significatif des mœurs du XIXe siècle. C’est une occasion pour ce grand auteur réaliste de décrire les valeurs intrinsèques de la société française moderne. Grâce à la profondeur de sa pensée, ses analyses psychologiques de l’époque et son style, il livre une image nette de l’esprit d’insatisfaction chronique de l’héroïne dû aux passions exaltantes, dysphoriques héritées de ses lectures au couvent. Notre contribution sera axée sur les contrariétés affectives et sociales du personnage et sur le cliché narratif du romancier en synergie avec le réalisme.
Nouvel imaginaire de la frontière dans le roman contemporain francophone d’Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: HAYATOU Guedeyi Yaeneta
Published: February 2023

Cet article se propose d’interroger l’œuvre littéraire d’Abdourahman Waberi pour y saisir comment y est figuré l’imaginaire de la frontière et le/les sens de cette figuration. En fait, chez cet auteur, l’imaginaire de la frontière constitue le plus souvent un lieu de passage, de transgression, de subversion, de rencontre, de relation et d’échange entre les différentes sensibilités ; un lieu de renforcement, plutôt que de dilution du sens d’une différence culturelle. Ce lieu représente, en quelque sorte, une mise en abyme de la création artistique de ces auteurs africains francophones. La mise en récit de la frontière offre un lien symbolique qui relie le petit village fictionnel du fin fond d’Afrique au Tout-monde, véritable parcours initiatique qui conduit à une vision ouverte, totalisante et significative de l’homme et du monde.
Les mobilités dans l'espace ouest-africain aux XIXe et XXe siècles
Authors: FALL Papis Comakha
Published: February 2023

La mobilité est une notion très complexe et polysémique. Ce constat est lié à ses multiples et diverses formes. Notre contribution tente d'examiner la problématique des mobilités en « situation coloniale ». S'inscrivant dans un contexte d'intrusion, de domination et de résistance coloniales, les mobilités sont étudiées, d'une part, comme « technique de pouvoir », méthode complétant l'arsenal de répressions, de sanctions et d'exploitations coloniales ; et d'autre part comme stratégie de réponse, de lutte et d'accommodation des sociétés indigènes. Cette thématique, relative aux mobilités en Afrique de l'Ouest, entre dans le cadre des questionnements d’une histoire coloniale attentive aux enjeux de la répression, de la domination, du maintien de l’ordre sécuritaire et aux réponses ou attitudes des indigènes. Par le tri, le croisement et l’examen des sources archivistiques et publications scientifiques, quelques questions taraudent notre esprit. Quelles sont les formes/types de mobilités ? En quoi les mobilités sont-elles une stratégie de contrôle colonial et de réponse des indigènes ? Quelles sont ses principales causes/motivations, dans une ambiance coloniale ? Quel a été l'impact des mobilités ?
Staphylinina (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of Poland Staphylinina (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of Poland
Authors: Mazur Andrzej , Melke Andrzej
Published: February 2023

Th e first Staphylinidae species described, named and classified in the 10th edition of “Systema Naturae” by Carl Linné (Linnaeus) was Staphylinus hirtus, i.e. presently Emus hirtus (Linnaeus, 1758). Along with 18 other species, classified by the author to one genus Staphylinus, these taxa provided a certain foundation for the further classification of Staphylinidae. At present these species are classified to 15 genera, among others from the subfamilies Staphylininae (genera Emus, Ontholestes, Creophilus, Staphylinus, Philonthus, Quedius), as well as Oxyporinae, Paederinae, Tachyporinae, Steninae, Aleocharinae and Omaliinae. Carl Linnaeus in the next years (1761 and 1767) described seven other species. In the period from mid-18th century to the end of the 20th century (specifically in the years 1758–2000) a total of 45 700 Staphylinidae species were described, which accounted for 14% of all beetles and 5% of all animals. In turn, only within the 20 years of the 21st century the number of described Staphylinidae species increased to 63 000, which makes this family of beetles one of the most speciose families worldwide, not only among insects, but all animals.
Kilimin Ekfrasis ve Göstergelerarasılık Bağlamında Kullanımı: Ayla Çınaroğlu’nun Sihirli Kilim’i
Authors: DEMİRAL Bayram
Published: February 2023

Estetik kuramcılarınca sanatlar, sözsel olan ve sözsel olmayan şeklinde iki ana grup olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Bu sanat dallarının kendi aralarında ve birbirleri arasında çeşitli alışverişler gerçekleşebilmektedir. Sözsel sanatların birbirleri arasındaki alışverişler metinlerarası ilişkiler olarak tanımlanırken, sözsel olmayan sanatların kendi aralarında ve sözsel sanatlarla olan alışverişler ise göstergelerarası ilişkiler olarak nitelenmektedir. Göstergelerarası ilişkilerden biri olan ekfrasis ise sözsel olmayan bir sanatın sözsel sanatta yer alması veya sözsel olmayan sanatların sözsel sanatlardaki temsili olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ayla Çınaroğlu’nun Sihirli Kilim adlı masal kitabında, geleneksel dokuma çeşitlerinden biri olan kilim, kurgunun temel unsuru olarak kullanılmaktadır. Kilim ve motiflerinin hangi dönüşümlere uğrayarak, bir masal metninde yer aldığının tespitinin amaçlandığı bu çalışmada göstergelerarası çözümleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Adı geçen kitap ile sınırlı bu çalışmada, dilsel ve görsel olarak kilim ve motiflerinin geçirdiği dönüşümler, göstergelerarası ilişkiler ve ekfrasis bağlamında çözümlenmiştir. Masal metninde, sözsel olmayan sanat olarak değerlendirilebilecek, kilim ve motifleri, sözsel olan sanatta yer almaktadır ki bu noktada ekfrasis karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dilsel bağlamda kilimdeki koçboynuzu motifi koça, kurt izi motifi kurda, suyolu motifi bir akarsuya dönüşmektedir. Bu durum, kilim motifinin, dilsel alanda yeniden üretilmesi olarak değerlendirilebilir. Kilim ve motifleri İllüstrasyon olarak kitap bağlamına aktarılırken, dokuma ve motiflerin malzeme, konum ve şekil gibi nitelikleri dönüşüme uğramaktadır. Kitaptaki motiflerin görselleri alımlayıcıya, metindeki motiflere atıfla oluşturulan dilsel göstergelerin kilim motiflerinden türediğini ayrıca anlatının kilim yüzeyinde kurgulandığını hatırlatmaktadır. Sonuç olarak kilim ve motifleri hem anlamsal hem de şekilsel olarak dönüşüme uğrayarak metinde yer almıştır. Kilim ve motiflerinin, dilsel ve görsel olarak kitapta yer alması geleneksel bir dokumanın başka bağlamlarda dolaşımını, tanınırlığını ve devingenliğini sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca kitap çocukların, maddi kültür unsuru olan kilim ve motifleri hakkında görsel ve dilsel bilgiler edinmesini sağlamaktadır.

Published: February 2023

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate radiation exposure in cranial computed tomography (CT) scans of children who were admitted to an emergency service due to minor cranial trauma.
Material and Methods: Radiation exposure doses of 1199 patients with CT scans due to minor cranial trauma in an emergency service were calculated.
Results: It was found that children aged 0 to 5 were exposed to a significantly higher radiation dose compared to those aged 5 to 16. (p<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed among children with cervical and abdominal CT scans in terms of their age groups (p=0.838 and p=0.106, respectively). Finally, it was observed that among children with thorax CT scans, those aged 10 to 16 were exposed to a significantly higher radiation dose compared to those aged 0 to 1. (p=0.001).
Conclusion: We suggest that the use of cranial CT scan in children admitted to an emergency service due to cranial trauma can be reduced by clinical monitoring, informing the patient and parents about negative effects of ionizing radiation and training physicians about CT scan orders.
Bombed Cities: Legacies of Post-War Planning on the Contemporary Urban and Social Fabric
Authors: Alvanides Seraphim , Ludwig Carol
Published: February 2023

Post-Second World War reconstruction is an important field of research around the world, with strands of enquiry investigating architecture, urban archaeology, heritage studies, urban design, city planning, critical cartography, and social geography. This thematic issue offers a critical statement on mid-twentieth century urban planning, starting from the period of the Second World War. We approach post-war reconstruction not only from the mainstream actualised perspective, but also considered by alternative visions and strategies, with an emphasis on empirically driven studies of post-catastrophic damage and reconstruction, implementing a range of different methodologies. In this editorial we identify two research strands on post-war planning of destroyed cities, one investigating the processes and practices of reconstruction and heritage conservation and the other assessing the legacies of planning decisions on the social and urban fabric of today’s cities. These two strands are interlinked; early planning visions and subsequent decisions were dominated by contemporary concerns and political values, yet they have been imprinted on today’s urban and social fabric of various bombed cities, affecting our urban lives. Thus, reconstruction strategies of destroyed cities should engage diverse voices in a broad dialogue through sensitive inclusion, as today’s planning decisions have the capacity to define the urban and social conditions for future generations.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 38 million people are carriers of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The relative risk of cardiovascular events in patients with HIV infection is 1.52 times higher than those without it. An HIV-positive status is associated with a 50% increased risk of acute myocardial infarction. The mechanisms of CVD development caused by HIV activity are not fully understood, and the contribution of traditional risk factors cannot fully explain such a high potential for coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with HIV infection. Data suggest that HIV-associated chronic inflammation and immune system activation may lead to progressive endothelial dysfunction and vascular damage. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and, consequently, CHD in HIV infection is extremely versatile and poorly studied. The key mechanisms in HIV-associated CHD include the effect of HIV proteins on immunocompetent cells and vascular endothelium, immunodeficiency, translocation of microorganisms from the gut, and chronic inflammation with platelet activation. Despite considerable progress in understanding HIV-associated cardiovascular disease, many unresolved questions remain. Even with effective viral suppression, inflammation and immune dysregulation appear to increase the risk of cardiovascular complications. The lack of large-scale clinical studies on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in HIV is very important. Nevertheless, some important features should be considered in the management of patients with HIV infection.

A systematic review was performed using databases of RSCI and PubMed, and the following keywords were used for the literature search: Cataract, Phacoemulsification, PEC, Visual-stress work, VSW, Anisometropia, and Quality of life. Articles were selected based on the criteria for prospective or retrospective studies. A total of 684 sources were analyzed, further using systematic review filters and authors knowledge of the topic. The retrospective analysis covered the period from 2016 to 2022. Data indicate that the current state of the problem of PEK in patients with VSW with bilateral cataracts during traditional sequential (on different days) surgery (especially if the interval between operations increased by more than 710 days) is accompanied by the emergence of clinical, functional (pain syndrome, anisometropia, diplopia, and impaired stereoscopic vision), and ophthalmo-ergonomic (insufficient level of visual performance) adverse manifestations after the first surgery. To eliminate them, sequential bilateral cataract surgery received increasing attention (both operations within the same day), characterized by fewer hospital visits for the patient, faster recovery of vision, and lower healthcare costs. Thus, the stated provisions in the dispensary observation of patients with VSW with bilateral cataracts must be considered.

COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has diverse long-term consequences of varying severity after recovery from the acute phase. As survivorship and therefore the number of individuals with long COVID continue to increase, the prevalence, origins, and mechanisms of post-acute sequelae manifestation must be critically elucidated. The inappropriate and unique inflammatory response in the acute phase of COVID-19 causes severe respiratory symptoms, which can be subsequently accompanied by multiple-organ damage, affecting the brain, heart, kidneys, etc. This review examines the role of an unregulated antigen-specific immune response to COVID-19 in the onset and development of its consequences. We discuss the potential role of virus persistence in tissue reservoirs, unresolved inflammation, cytokine hyperproduction, tissue damage, and molecular mimicry and autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of post-COVID syndrome the induction and maintenance of imbalanced immune responses after the resolution of acute COVID-19.
Complex rehabilitation of children and adolescents with dysfunction of the sacroiliac joints
Authors: Zadorina-Negoda Galina N. , Novoselova Irina N.
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND:Back pain (BP) is encountered by physicians in many specialties. Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is one of the most common causes of non-specific BP (NBP). Many approaches have been accepted for the treatment of this pathology, including drug correction, physiotherapy, therapeutic blockade, and manual therapy (MT). In most cases, these methods help reduce the severity of the pain syndrome and restore the physiological mobility of the SIJ. Despite ongoing therapy, BP persists in some cases. The most likely reason for the ineffectiveness of MT is impaired muscle balance. The correction of this impairment is carried out with the help of other rehabilitation techniques.
AIM:To develop a comprehensive program for the rehabilitation of patients with NBP associated with SIJ dysfunction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:A prospective study included 54 patients aged 7–18 years who complained of pain in the lumbosacral spine. The patients were divided into two groups: the first group underwent manual correction of dysfunction, followed by mechanotherapy on block simulators, and the second group underwent correction of articular dysfunction using specially selected movements performed asymmetrically depending on the identified disorders, and the therapeutic gymnastics program included mechanotherapy and postural workout. At all stages of rehabilitation treatment according to the progression system, training for muscle control was carried out. According to indications, all children underwent mild MT.
RESULTS:A dynamic step-by-step system for assessing the biomechanics of movements and tonic–phasic balance has been developed. A technique for the rehabilitation treatment of NBP with concomitant SIJ dysfunction has been developed, which was selected individually depending on the identified disorders and features of motor activity.
CONCLUSION:The proposed rehabilitation system simplifies and systematizes work in patients who complained of BP associated with osteoarticular dysfunction. The effectiveness of rehabilitation increased due to the precisely selected methods, depending on the root cause of NBP associated with acute or recurrent SIJ dysfunction. A rehabilitation technique aimed at preventing recurrent SIJ dysfunctions helps prevent relapses of BP and minimize the risk of developing articular pathology of the lower extremities.

Background:The immune system plays an important role in the development of neuropathology. Dysfunction of monocytes/macrophages can contribute to environmental health and the development of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Two subpopulations of monocytes are distinguished, namely, anti-inflammatory and activated pro-inflammatory monocytes, producing cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-2, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which are involved in immune inflammation in mental diseases. Violations of cellular, phagocytic, and/or humoral immunity are often found in patients with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). Monocytes are assumed to be involved in the development of psychovegetative disorders in patients and connective tissue insufficiency.
Aim:To study the relationship between the number of monocytes and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α) in the peripheral blood with possible non-psychotic diseases and autonomic dysfunction syndrome in UCTD in young people.
Materials and methods:We examined 95 people aged 18–22 years. Neuropsychological examination, general clinical blood tests, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α), markers of neurodegeneration (neuron-specific enolase) and cerebral ischemia (antibodies to NR2) were sent.
Results:An increase in the absolute monocyte count in the peripheral blood is accompanied by a lesser severity of psychovegetative, ischemic, and neurodegenerative cases. An inverse correlation was found between the level of monocytes in the peripheral blood and the number of UCTD indicators, a direct correlation between UCTD and autonomic dysfunction syndrome (ADS), asthenic condition, personal anxiety, depression, neurosis, Internet addiction, and headache research index for everyday life. Severe UCTD leads to a change in the proportion of monocytes in the use of the pro-inflammatory subpopulation, which is probably one of the reasons for the numerous non-psychotic diseases and autonomic nervous system diseases in these patients.
Conclusion:An increase in the pro-inflammatory monocyte count in severe UCTD plays an important role in the development of psychovegetative disorders. The correction of the dysplastic process can become an important role in the prevention and detection of various neurological and non-psychotic diseases, such as ADS and anxiety–depressive syndrome in young people.

BACKGROUND: Information about the features of intact bone tissue of the contralateral segment in the treatment of tuberculous osteitis is absent in the literature.
AIM: Study of the features of intact bone tissue in the conditions of complex treatment of experimental tuberculous osteitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: On an experimental model of tuberculous osteitis of the condyle of the right femur (Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv) in 21 rabbits, the morphometric characteristics of the contralateral femurs, representatively selected from 4 groups, were studied: group (control) who did not receive either surgical or medical treatment; groups 24 radical surgical removal of the focus, supplemented: No. 2 antituberculosis therapy, group 3 antituberculosis therapy and a single injection of bisphosphonates (pamidronate), group 4 a single injection of bisphosphonates. In autopsy material studied: the area of bone tissue, the thickness of bone beams, the number of osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts and the proportion of their active forms.
RESULTS: The following features were revealed in intact samples of different groups: group 1 the minimum area of bone tissue and the thickness of the beams, the maximum number of osteoblasts, including active ones, the average number of osteocytes; groups 2 and 3 average values of the area and thickness of bone beams, the average number of osteoblasts, the pool of osteocytes is represented mainly by inactive cells; groups 3 and 4 the minimum value of active osteoblasts; group 4 the maximum thickness of the bone beams, a greater total number of osteoblasts and osteocytes. No osteoclasts were found in any group.
CONCLUSIONS: Different ratios of bone tissue area, thickness of bone beams, and osteoforming cellular elements in animals receiving different treatment indicate both the systemic effect of a specific process and the drug effect of anti-tuberculosis drugs and bisphosphonates on uninfected bones.

The aim of the study is assessment of combined effect of homotransplanted rat lymphoma (Pliss Lymphosrcoma) growth and antitumor therapy (cysplatin) upon the functioning of the nervous system was accomplished in 160 male Wistar rats, divided into four groups: intact animals, rats treated with cysplatin, rats with transplanted lymphoma, and rats with transplanted lymphoma that received cysplatin treatment. The neurologic deficiency degree as well as basic myelin protein peripheral blood level (nervous system impairment hematological marker) were comparatively assessed. Tumor development was accompanied with emergence and subsequent growth of neurologic deficit in locomotory, sensory and coordinative spheres as well as pronounced growth of basic myeline protein plasma level thus making this model a valid test-system for studying paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome. Cysplatin has produced a non-selective toxic effect upon the nervous system of the experimental animals within its therapeutic window range documented by neurotoxic syndrome. Subsequently along with elimination of cysplatin and its derivates from the organism, systemic neurotoxic effect intensity decreased and the nervous system functional state parameters returned to control values. Using cysplatin for the treatment of homotransplanted experimental rat lymphoma results in synergic neurotoxic and paraneoplastic neurological syndrome through combined injury of the nervous system.
