Develop models of anatomical studies using acrylic resin
Authors: Carvalho F. , Rossi Junior W. , Esteves A.
Published: July 2017

Introduction: Many researchers among them Galen, Andreas Vesalius, Hippocrates, Leonardo Da Vinci, among others, have dedicated themselves to anatomical studies and methods of conservation bodies. Being Human Anatomy a basic content for all undergraduate courses involving health, their study is essential, as well as getting parts and cadavers for study. Faced with the difficulties encountered today, the search for alternative methods in teaching the human body has been incessant. Given a search for human anatomy to find a way of preserving anatomical specimens in the best possible way, new techniques have been described and studied over time laboratories. This work was performed in order to obtain a new technique for the study of anatomical parts by applying a fresh crystal acrylic resin, with low cost and the elimination of liquid preservatives, thus facilitating the handling of the parts. Material and Methods: Different anatomical parts, which were included in a block of ice were used; were cut from 4 to 6 mm and subjected to a battery of alcohol to rapid dehydration, then the pieces were embedded in acrylic resin Crislight® and then subjected to sanding and finishing, and polishing to obtain a good aesthetics and performance. Results: This study demonstrated that it is possible to include anatomical piece polyester resin, thereby obtaining a study model that offers excellent visibility, a technique easy to perform and affordable. Conclusion: But more studies should be conducted to improve the technique and develop models with better quality. Although the behavior of the resin due to different tissue types in a future study should be noted.
O processo de difusão do kung fu no ocidente: entre o sentido de perda e a inevitabilidade da perda do sentido
Authors: Ferreira Fernando Dandoro Castilho , Souza Juliano De , Marchi Júnior Wanderley
Published: July 2017

Neste artigo, procuramos problematizar aspectos do processo de desenvolvimento do Kung Fu na China e de sua posterior difusão para o Ocidente à luz da teoria sociológica de Norbert Elias. Para cumprir este objetivo, estruturamos o texto em três partes. Na primeira delas, apresentamos alguns elementos da teoria de Elias que são úteis para estudar o Kung Fu. Na segunda parte do artigo, por sua vez, trazemos alguns indícios acerca do processo de difusão do Kung Fu para o Ocidente, tomando como leitura auxiliar a obra “O Mosteiro de Shaolin” de Meir Shahar. Na terceira e última parte do texto, sugerimos que a recepção do Kung Fu no Ocidente engendra um processo social que conjuga elementos da tradição chinesa e da modernidade capitalista, conferindo a essa prática um caráter híbrido e polissêmico.

Estratégias para ensinar esporte nas aulas de Educação Física: um estudo na cidade de Aparecida/SP
Authors: Freire Júnior José Martins , Maldonado Daniel Teixeira , Silva Sheila Aparecida Pereira dos Santos
Published: July 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever e analisar quais estratégias e estilos de ensino que dez professores de Educação Física da cidade de Aparecida, que trabalham em oito escolas municipais, utilizam para ensinar os conteúdos esportivos para turmas do 6º ao 9º ano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de orientação fenomenológica, que utilizou a técnica da entrevista semiestruturada. A análise ocorreu em nível individual (análise ideográfica) e, posteriormente, abrangeu o grupo como um todo (análise nomotética). Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos docentes utilizam os jogos pré-desportivos, o jogo formal com regras oficiais, exercícios de repetição dos fundamentos e atividades lúdicas para ensinar os conteúdos esportivos. Os estilos de ensino Comando e Tarefa são os mais comumente utilizados. A maior parte dos discursos evidenciou que os professores utilizam estratégias de reprodução para ensinar os conteúdos relacionados ao esporte com seus alunos.

Empiria como Critério de Vigência do Direito: entre Alf Ross e Herbert Hart
Authors: Rodrigues Horácio Wanderlei , Heinen Luana Renostro
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2177-7055.2016v37n72p193O positivismo jurídico pauta o Direito na validade formal. No entanto, a teoria do Direito também se debruça sobre outros aspectos mais próximos da empiria para compreender o fenômeno jurídico, busca-se tais elementos nas obras de Herbert Hart e Alf Ross. Para Hart, o conteúdo da regra de reconhecimento, usada para se encontrar a validade de uma norma, deve ser aferido empiricamente em cada sistema jurídico, podendo inclusive (mas não necessariamente) incorporar elementos morais. De maneira distinta, a teoria do realista Ross independe do critério de validade e defende que a vigência é verificável pela aplicação efetiva da norma pelas autoridades jurídicas.

Extraction of actionable information from crowdsourced disaster data
Authors: Kiatpanont, MS Rungsun , Tanlamai, PhD Uthai , Chongstitvatana, PhD Prabhas
Published: July 2017

Natural disasters cause enormous damage to countries all over the world. To deal with these common problems, different activities are required for disaster management at each phase of the crisis. There are three groups of activities as follows: (1) make sense of the situation and determine how best to deal with it, (2) deploy the necessary resources, and (3) harmonize as many parties as possible, using the most effective communication channels. Current technological improvements and developments now enable people to act as real-time information sources. As a result, inundation with crowdsourced data poses a real challenge for a disaster manager. The problem is how to extract the valuable information from a gigantic data pool in the shortest possible time so that the information is still useful and actionable. This research proposed an actionable-data-extraction process to deal with the challenge. Twitter was selected as a test case because messages posted on Twitter are publicly available. Hashtag, an easy and very efficient technique, was also used to differentiate information.A quantitative approach to extract useful information from the tweets was supported and verified by interviews with disaster managers from many leading organizations in Thailand to understand their missions. The information classifications extracted from the collected tweets were first performed manually, and then the tweets were used to train a machine learning algorithm to classify future tweets. One particularly useful, significant, and primary section was the request for help category. The support vector machine algorithm was used to validate the results from the extraction process of 13,696 sample tweets, with over 74 percent accuracy. The results confirmed that the machine learning technique could significantly and practically assist with disaster management by dealing with crowdsourced data.

Authors: Makama, MBBS, FWACS, FACS Jerry Godfrey , Joshua, MBBS, MPH Istifanus Anekoson , Makama, RN, RM, PGDDRMDS, MDRMDS Elizabeth Jerry
Published: July 2017

Background: There has been an increase in the incidence of disasters in many parts of the world. Similarly, Nigeria has witnessed a recent increase of man-made disaster events such as plane crash, fire incidents, flood, and building collapse, including bomb blast orchestrated by terrorists that often create emergency situations. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate family emergency plan and preparedness among medical practitioners in Zaria.Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study (May-July, 2013) of medical practitioners in Zaria, Nigeria. The structured questionnaire sought the socio-demographic features of the respondents, the availability of emergency gate(s) in the house, education of safety measures within and outside the house, well-known located shut-off devices for gases, electricity, and water in the house, and written document/policy in the event of disaster. Also, planned orientations/drills/sensitizations, whether there is contact information of family members and supporting agencies.Results: Majority of the respondents were male 56 (80.0 percent) and fall within the age group of 46-50 years (20.0 percent). Only 8.6 percent admitted having an unwritten policy on emergency management in their houses. Similarly, only 8.6 percent do create time to teach their family members on emergency management. Only 27 (38.6 percent) had emergency supplies kits and among this group, water appears to be the most essential component that the respondents had paid attention to, leaving out special items. The communication plans of respondents to likely supportive services/agencies during disaster showed that majority had contact address or have affirmative plans for hospital and ambulance services than for radio and television stations.Conclusion: Family emergency plans and preparedness among medical practitioners in Zaria are extremely low. There is a gap between knowledge of what need to be done to enhance preparedness and internalizing preparedness recommendations in the study area.
A qualitative exploration of chronic pain and opioid treatment among HIV patients with drug use disorders
Authors: Isenberg, MA Sarina R. , Maragh-Bass, MPH, PhD Allysha C. , Ridgeway, MSPH Kathleen , Beach, MD, MPH Mary Catherine , Knowlton, MPH, ScD Amy R.
Published: July 2017

Objective: The study explored high-risk participants' experiences with pain management regarding clinical access to and use of prescription opioids.Design: Qualitative semistructured interviews and focus groups.Setting: Data were collected August 2014 to May 2015 at an urban community-based research facility in Baltimore City, MD.Participants: HIV participants with chronic pain and a history of illicit drug use.Methods: Qualitative coding and analysis used an iterative, inductive, and thematic approach and coders achieved inter-coder consistency.Results: The authors identified two major themes. First, participants had positive and negative interactions with healthcare providers regarding chronic pain treatment. Participants perceived that providers lacked empathy for their pain and/or were not adequately managing their pain. These interactions resulted in participants seeking new providers or mistrusting the medical system. Further, providers’ surveillance of participants’ pain treatment regimen contributed to distress surrounding pain management. The second theme centered on participants’ pain management experiences with prescribed opioid analgesics. Participants felt they were receiving dosages and classes of analgesics that did not sufficiently address their pain, and consequently modified their dosages or rationed prescription opioids. Other participants were reluctant to take analgesics due to their history of illicit drug use. Some participants relapsed to illicit drug use when they felt their prescription opioids did not adequately address their pain needs.Conclusions: Participant struggles with receiving and managing prescribed opioid analgesics suggest a need for: therapies beyond these medications; guidelines for providers specific to this population; and harm reduction trainings for providers.

Authors: Bicket, MD Mark C. , Kattail, MD Deepa , Yaster, MD Myron , Wu, MD Christopher L. , Pronovost, MD, PhD Peter
Published: July 2017

Objective: To determine opioid-prescribing patterns and rate of three types of errors, discrepancies, and variation from ideal practice.Design: Retrospective review of opioid prescriptions processed at an outpatient pharmacy.Setting: Tertiary institutional medical center.Patients: We examined 510 consecutive opioid medication prescriptions for adult patients processed at an institutional outpatient pharmacy in June 2016 for patient, provider, and prescription characteristics.Main Outcome Measure(s): We analyzed prescriptions for deviation from best practice guidelines, lack of two patient identifiers, and noncompliance with Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) rules.Results: Mean patient age (standard deviation) was 47.5 years (17.4). The most commonly prescribed opioid was oxycodone (71 percent), usually not combined with acetaminophen. Practitioners prescribed tablet formulation to 92 percent of the sample, averaging 57 (47) pills. We identified at least one error on 42 percent of prescriptions. Among all prescriptions, 9 percent deviated from best practice guidelines, 21 percent failed to include two patient identifiers and 41 percent were noncompliant with DEA rules. Errors occurred in 89 percent of handwritten prescriptions, 0 percent of electronic health record (EHR) computer-generated prescriptions, and 12 percent of non-EHR computer-generated prescriptions. Interrater reliability by κ was 0.993.Conclusions: Inconsistencies in opioid prescribing remain common. Handwritten prescriptions continue to demonstrate higher associations of errors, discrepancies, and variation from ideal practice and government regulations. All computer-generated prescriptions adhered to best practice guidelines and contained two patient identifiers, and all EHR prescriptions were fully compliant with DEA rules.

Published: July 2017

Objective: This study sought to characterize national patterns for opioid pain medication (OPM) prescriptions received during emergency medical encounters in the Veterans Health Administration (VA).Design: The authors conducted a retrospective study of all emergency department (ED) visits by adults in the VA between January 2009 and June 2015. We examined demographics, comorbidities, utilization measures, diagnoses, and prescriptions.Main Outcome Measures: The percentage of ED visits that culminated in the receipt of a prescription for an OPM.Results: There were 6,721,134 emergency medical visits by 1,708,545 individuals during the study period. An OPM was prescribed during 913,872 visits (13.6 percent), and 407,408 individuals (27.5 percent) received at least one OPM prescription. Prescriptions for OPMs peaked in 2011 at 14.5 percent, declining to 12.3 percent in 2015. The percentage of prescriptions limited to 12 pills increased from 25.0 to 32.4 percent. The heaviest users (top 1.5 percent, n = 7,247) received an average 602.5 total doses, and had at least 10 ED visits during the study period. The most frequently prescribed OPMs were acetaminophen/hydrocodone, followed by tramadol and acetaminophen/oxycodone. Receiving a prescription was associated with younger patients, musculoskeletal diagnoses, higher pain scores, a history of chronic pain, a history of mental illness, a history of substance abuse, prior heavy prescription OPM use, and lower participation in outpatient services.Conclusions: The writing of OPM prescriptions after an ED visit is on the decline in the VA. Compliance with prescribing guidelines is increasing, but is not yet at goal.
The “shallow-waterness” of the wave climate in European coastal regions
Authors: Christensen Kai Håkon , Carrasco Ana , Bidlot Jean-Raymond , Breivik Øyvind
Published: July 2017

Abstract. In contrast to deep water waves, shallow water waves are influenced by bottom topography, which has consequences for the propagation of wave energy as well as for the energy and momentum exchange between the waves and the mean flow. The ERA-Interim reanalysis is used to assess the fraction of wave energy associated with shallow water waves in coastal regions in Europe. We show maps of the distribution of this fraction as well as time series statistics from eight selected stations. There is a strong seasonal dependence and high values are typically associated with winter storms, indicating that shallow water wave effects can occasionally be important even in the deeper parts of the shelf seas otherwise dominated by deep water waves.
Using Satellite Laser Ranging to measure ice mass change in
Greenland and Antarctica
Authors: Bonin Jennifer A. , Chambers Don P. , Cheng Minkang
Published: July 2017

Abstract. A least squares inversion of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data over Greenland and Antarctica could extend gravimetry-based estimates of mass loss back to the early 1990s, and fill any future gap between the current Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and the future GRACE Follow-On mission. The results of a simulation suggest that, while separating the mass change between Greenland and Antarctica is not possible at the limited spatial resolution of the SLR data, estimating the total combined mass change of the two areas is feasible. When the method is applied to real SLR and GRACE gravity series, we find significantly different estimates of inverted mass loss. There are large, unpredictable, interannual differences between the two inverted data types, making us conclude that the current 5 × 5 spherical harmonic SLR series cannot be used to stand in for GRACE. However, a comparison with the longer IMBIE time-series suggests that on a 20-year time-frame, the inverted SLR series' interannual excursions may average out, and the long-term mass loss estimate be reasonable.

A formação do Direito Ambiental a partir das Conferências de Estocolmo e do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: MODENA CESAR AUGUSTO , BRANCHER DEISE SALTON
Published: July 2017

Os danos ambientais não estão mais restritos ao território dos Estados em que foram gerados. O Direito Ambiental Internacional emergiu lentamente, acompanhando a nova consciência ambiental. Não existe um marco histórico do surgimento desse ramos do direito, mas a Conferência de Estocolmo de 1972 e a Conferência do Rio de Janeiro de 1992 são consideradas fundamentais para a formação de um regramento internacional sobre o meio ambiente. A autonomia, a multidimensionalidade e a presença de soft norms caracterizam o Direito Ambiental Internacional. O regramento internacional ambiental segue princípios gerais próprios. O descumprimento das normas ambientais internacionais autoriza a ingerência ecológica nos países poluidores pelas demais nações
CONSTITUIÇÃO, TEMPO E NARRATIVA: DA CRISE DA ACELERAÇÃO DAS MUDANÇAS NORMATIVAS AO SEU ENFRENTAMENTO
Authors: Salles da Costa Junior Ernane
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo procurou investigar a dimensão temporal e narrativa das Constituições, tendo como fundamento uma leitura da teoria narrativa e política de Paul Ricoeur. Nesse caminho, aponta-se para a necessidade de se pensar as mudanças normativas dentro da história de uma comunidade política, inserindo-as numa trama jurídico-narrativa que liga passado, presente e futuro. Visa-se, com isso, fundamentar uma crítica consistente e embasada em relação à aceleração desenfreada dos ritmos das transformações das normas jurídicas, tão comum nos dias de hoje.
Anne Hampton Brewster's St. Martin's Summer and Utopian Literary Discourses
Authors: Madden Etta M.
Published: July 2017

Anne Hampton Brewster's relatively unknown St. Martin's Summer (1866), based on her European Grand Tour, contributes to discussions of utopian literary discourses. Employing the theoretical lenses of Jennifer Wagner-Lawlor and Tom Moylan, including Michel Foucault's notion of heterotopias, this article demonstrates how Brewster's revision of her travel notebook and cultural situations she witnessed provided opportunities for personal change. The novel's focus on a community of women and a final chapter onboard a clipper in the Atlantic reverberate with “floating island” imagery and contest traditional notions of marriage, exploration, and travels home. Attention to characters' political engagement (including that of a fictional Robert Dale Owen), dream visions that transport characters through time and space, and comments on marriage set the stage for examining the novel's frames. A self-reflexive preface prevents the final chapter from being seen as fixed and dissolves into consideration of Brewster's composing process. These suggest how Brewster's dialectical movement between journal and novel enabled her to look both backward and forward, envisioning possible futures, and to launch herself from a life of entrapment. Brewster left Philadelphia to become a newspaper correspondent in Rome, beginning in 1868 and continuing for two decades, engaged with the political situation around her.
Al margen del siglo XXI…: Las universidades latinoamericanas frente a las sociedades del Aprendizaje, del Conocimiento y de la Tecnología
Authors: Picardo Joao Oscar
Published: July 2017

¿Qué no se ha dicho o escrito sobre los retos de la Universidad ante el siglo XXI…?; la década de los noventa se constituyó en un verdadero andamiaje de promesas, visiones, simposios y discursos para defi nir la antesala universitaria frente al nuevo milenio.En este análisis, nos preguntamos cuáles han sido los logros y obstáculos para ingresar al devenir milenarista con sus nuevos paradigmas: globalización, tecnologías y sociedad del conocimiento, y a su vez se lanzan algunas hipótesis y supuestos ante el escenario universitario actual, con la finalidad de revisar la agenda académica, de cara a ciertos ajustes “fácticos” de segunda generación. De antemano, no creemos que el inicio del siglo XXI sea un pretexto para transformar la universidad, la cuál debe estar “siempre en transformación”, aunque sí se trata de un símbolo cronológico que nos permite hacer un alto en el camino para acomodar el equipaje y seguir el camino.AKADEMOS, Año 10, Vol. 1, No 26, Enero-Junio 2016: 35-49
El análisis del alma
Authors: Camilot Luigi M.
Published: July 2017

La corriente cientificista–materialista occidental, ha cambiado de manera radical la forma en la cual se concibe la producción de conocimiento científico en la actualidad. Esta concepción monista, sustentada a través de metodologías y técnicas centradas exclusivamente en la exploración del “objeto”; a partir de la experimentación y cuantificación de datos; ha sido irradiada de forma indiscriminada hacia todas las áreas de investigación; inclusive en aquellas tan poco acomodadas para su uso, como es el caso de la psicología. Lo anterior ha traído como resultado la “cosificación” sistemática de la esencia psíquica del hombre, y una visión reduccionista de la compleja vida anímica del sujeto. Este hito contemporáneo se encuentra profundamente vinculado al fenómeno histórico y ontológico de la escisión de la consciencia, que encuentra su máxima expresión en el hombre occidental moderno. Hoy más que nunca se vuelve necesario ubicar un punto de equilibrio al interior de la ciencia; donde las ciencias sociales, y especialmente la psicología, puedan reencontrarse una vez más con su propia identidad.AKADEMOS, Año 10, Vol. 1, No 26, Enero-Junio 2016: 71-97

Aspectos de la morfología del sustantivo latino y su relación con el sustantivo español
Authors: López David E.
Published: July 2017

Las así llamadas lenguas neolatinas o romances son el resultado de un proceso de desarrollo del latín vulgar o latín hablado que, luego de la caída del Imperio romano, fue adquiriendo sus propias características en las diferentes ex colonias hasta convertirse en lenguas independientes. De esta forma surgió el francés, el italiano y el español, entre otras lenguas neolatinas.Si bien cuando hablamos de lenguas neolatinas tratamos de un fenómeno lingüístico nuevo, es observable todavía en ellas la huella profunda de la lengua madre, y esta huella va más allá de aspectos visibles como el léxico o la fonética. Esta huella es observable en el sustantivo español, especialmente en términos semánticos; pero también en su morfología: aunque el español perdió la flexión nominal del latín, en la forma del sustantivo singular y plural persisten las antiguas formas del acusativo singular y plural del sustantivo latino. Y no obstante lo anterior, la huella de la morfología del latín está presente con más fuerza en el verbo español.AKADEMOS, Año 10, Vol. 2, No 27, Julio-Diciembre 2016: 9-28

Published: July 2017

This study aims to investigate, using the structural equation modeling with a partial least square (PLS-SEM) approach, the relationship among service recovery strategies, relationship quality, and customer patronage intentions concerning Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Egypt. Our findings confirmed that some service recovery strategies positively influence on both relationship quality and patronage intentions. As well as, relationship quality has a significant impact on customer patronage intentions. Furthermore, relationship quality has the role of a mediator of the relationship between SR strategies and patronage intention. Moreover, both speeds of recovery and empathy moderate the relationship between some SR strategies and relationship quality. Finally, our study proposed some theoretical and managerial implications.

Políticas y estéticas de la modernidad en El Salvador: ¿Cómo (d)escribir la violencia irracional?
Authors: Astvaldsson Astvaldur
Published: July 2017

En un principio el término “modernidad” solía tener un sentido desfavorable, pero en el siglo XX llega a considerarse equivalente a “satisfactorio o eficiente”. Pero hace falta preguntase: ¿quiénes han sido los ganadores y quiénes las víctimas de este proceso? La modernidad ha propuesto que la lógica y la razón lo explicarán todo y que habrá que renunciar a lo intuitivo, pero ¿cómo se explican la desigualdad y la violencia que ha producido? Muchos escritores se han dedicado a responder a esta pregunta y, con énfasis particular en la poesía de Manlio Argueta, el propósito principal de este trabajo es examinar cómo evoluciona la relación entre política y estética en la literatura salvadoreña durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
De la lengua materna y sus historias
Authors: Favela Bustillo Tania
Published: July 2017

Este artículo se propone rastrear relaciones entre  mito, lengua y paisaje en algunos poemas del poeta peruano José Watanabe (1946-2007). Pensar en la lengua es también pensar en el hogar,  pero sobre todo pensar en la madre, que es la que cría a los hijos y los nutre de lengua.  Por el otro lado, pensar el espacio es pensar el paisaje, y el paisaje lleva a la tierra, al suelo en el que se asienta el hogar. Tierra y hogar están vinculados, y por lo tanto la lengua y el paisaje también lo están. La poesía se une a ambos y se desarrolla a partir de éstos, pero ésta a su vez nutre a la lengua y reinventa el paisaje. Mito, paisaje y lengua serán los hilos desde los cuales alumbrar algunos ángulos de la poética de Watanabe.
Poesía, muerte y tejido social: necroescrituras en Álbum Iscariote de Julián Herbert
Authors: Iñiguez Rodríguez Edgardo
Published: July 2017

La poesía de autores mexicanos nacidos a partir de 1970 replantea tanto la estética del lenguaje poético como la figura autoral para dar cuenta de las condiciones sociales del país en la actualidad. Las técnicas literarias denuncian el funcionamiento de mecanismos propios del necropoder y del capitalismo gore en el tejido social. Tales elementos están presentes en Álbum Iscariote, de Julián Herbert. A partir del concepto de necroescrituras se analizan la presencia del autor y la escritura comunitaria en el texto como formas de generar redes simbólicas que doten de significaciones otras a un presente violento y sin sentido.
Dislocaciones de la poesía hispanoamericana: los lugares de enunciación y espacialidad del mensaje en la poesía visual de Guillermo Deisler y el Núcleo Post-Arte
Authors: Palma Castro Alejandro , Hernández Espinosa Gabriel
Published: July 2017

Tanto Guillermo Deisler como el Núcleo Post-Arte provienen de dos fuertes tradiciones líricas, la chilena y la mexicana respectivamente, apegadas a lo verbal como fundamento del discurso poético. En este trabajo, proponemos que sus lugares de enunciación, así como otros espacios de expresión del mensaje poético, han implicado un dislocamiento de lo verbal. A través de una interpretación comparada de ambos casos, desde la topoiesis de las instancias enunciativas, mostramos la postura crítica sostenida en el trabajo de estos artistas, en tanto denuncia de lo verbal como mecanismo de legitimación de la poesía canónica y de la injusticia social y política.
In vitro anti-Candida albicans activity of new thiatriazole derivative agents
Authors: Łukaszuk Cecylia , Niewiadomy Andrzej
Published: July 2017

Purpose: We tested the antifungal activity of N,N-phenyl-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole-5-yl-2,4-b-resorcyl-carbothioamide (PTR), of n-3-(1,2,4-dithiazole-5-thione)--resorcylcarbothioamide (DTRTA), of N,N-phenyl-1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-yl-2,4-b-resorcyl-carbothioamide (PHARA) against Candida albicans strains in vitro. Materials and methods: We synthesized PTR, DTRTA and PHARA at the Department of Chemistry University of Agriculture in Lublin. We tested the selected three samples with the lowest value of MIC - PTR, DTRTA and PHARA. A reference strain of C. albicans ATCC 10231 and 250 strains of C. albicans isolated from the patients was used. The enzymatic activity of the yeast-like fungi was performed by API ZYM test (bioMériux). Results: The mean MIC C. albicans ATCC 10231 on Sabouraud’s Medium was 12.5 mg/L and YNB Medium and RPMI medium - 6.25 mg/L. The mean MIC C. albicans on Sabouraud’s Medium - exposure to PTR - 19.77 mg/L; exposure to DTRTA -21.06 mg/L, exposure to PHARA - 21.54 mg/L; on YNB Medium - exposure to PTR - 17.79 mg/L; exposure to DTRTA - 16.23 mg/l, exposure to PHARA - 18.92 mg/L and RPMI Medium - exposure to PTR - 12.73 mg/L; exposure to DTRTA -10.93 mg/l, exposure to PHARA - 10.65 mg/L. The reference C. albicans strain ATCC 10231 had 5 enzymes inhibited - after exposure to PTR inhibited the enzymatic activity of 13 enzymes, exposure to DTRTA inhibited the enzymatic activity of 10 enzymes and exposure to PHARA inhibited the enzymatic activity of 13 enzymes. The C. albicans isolates had 3 enzymes inhibited - after exposure to PTR - 5 enzymes was inhibited, exposure to DTRTA - 9 enzymes was inhibited and exposure to PHARA - 4 enzymes was inhibited. Conclusion: The synthesized compounds PTR, DTRA and PHARA exert a moderate antifungal activity against the C. albicans strains in vitro.

Introduction: The secretion of hydrolytic enzymes is a factor facilitating pathogenic fungi invasion into the tissues. Purpose: To assess hydrolytic activity and biotypes of Candida strains isolated from samples collected from the surfaces of mobile phones and the hands of their owners. Materials and methods: The study included 175 mobile telephones and hands. The API ZYM test was used to assess enzymatic activity; biotyping was performed according to Williamson’s classification. Results: Among the strains isolated from hand surfaces, the highest activity was shown for C. albicans (acid phosphatase, esterase), C. glabrata (leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, esterase), and C. krusei (acid phosphatase). Of the strains isolated from phone surfaces, the highest activity was shown for C. albicans (leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase), C. glabrata (esterase, leucine arylamidase, esterase lipase), and C. krusei (acid phosphatase). Biotypes G, B and F were dominant for all types of fungi, both for strains isolated from phones and hand surfaces. Additionally, biotype A was dominant for C. krusei. Conclusions: C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. krusei showed activity for all hydrolytic enzymes. The strongest correlation between the hydrolytic activity of fungi isolated from hand and phone surfaces was shown for C. albicans.

Introduction: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is the term used to describe blood clots in the deep veins. It is considered to be a significant healthcare topic due to the high incidence in hospitalised patients. National body in the UK (NICE) recommends risk assessment, the appropriate prescription of thromboprophylaxis and the provision of patient information to all patients over the age of 18 years admitted to hospital. Despite the introduction of national guidance, patients develop hospital related VTE. It is therefore essential to establish compliance of VTE prevention policy and provide recommendations where improvements are necessary. Purpose: To assess current practice within an acute hospital in reducing the risk of VTE in patients admitted to hospital against NICE guidance and to identify methods of improvement to ensure adherence to VTE prevention guidelines. Materials and methods: A local audit was carried out using a tool which was designed to measure clinical practice against national standards for VTE prevention. PDSA cycle was used for a systematic process to be followed. A snapshot sample of 60 inpatient records was selected to be audited on medical and surgical wards of an acute trust. Data was analysed using excel, histograms were produced and percentages calculated to identify adherence of VTE prevention policy in practice. Results: The audit found that 67% (n=40/60) audit proformas were completed in the allocated time frame; 88% (n=35) of patients had a recorded risk assessed for VTE and bleeding on admission to hospital. Only 18% (n=7) of patients in the audit received verbal information on VTE prevention on admission and none received written information. Furthermore, 10% (n=4) of patients who required anti- embolism stockings did not receive them and 40% (n=16) of patients did not receive appropriate chemical thromboprophylaxis. Conclusion: Risk assessment and administration of prevention methods can considerably reduce the risks of patients developing VTE thus enhancing patient safety and quality of care provided by the healthcare sector. This audit demonstrates inconsistencies in providing correct VTE prevention methods to patients throughout an acute hospital trust and highlights key recommendations for improvement.

Introduction: Burns in children are a serious public health issue all over the world. This paper aims at comparing the frequency and causes of burns in children. Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records of 1230 children treated at Szczecin's burns centre in 1980s and presently was carried out. Results: We have noted that at present hospitalization frequency of burned children has declined 1.7 times. Children who undergo hospital treatment are mostly aged 1-2 (ns) and boys prevail 1.7 times. Infants constitute a high percentage of burn patients (15% and 17%). A proportion of countryside children has decreased (38% vs 28%; p<0.001) while a proportion of town children has increased. Skin burns most frequently resulted from contact with hot liquid (89% vs 83%; p=0.043). The other causes have been noted far less frequently: flame (7% vs 8%; ns), electric current (1% vs 2%; ns), chemicals (0,7% vs 1%; ns) and a few other factors such as: dry heat, sunrays and solarium (2% vs 5%; p=0.002). Conclusions: 1. Over the course of the past 25 years, Western Pomerania has seen a twofold decrease in the frequency of hospitalization of burned children, while the ages and causes of burns have remained the same. 2. Those most often treated are children aged 1-2, mainly boys; there is a high percentage of infants among them. 3. Hot liquid has remained the chief cause of burns in younger children; in the case of older ones, so is flame.

Introduction: One of the major nutritional mistakes committed by children and adolescents is snacking between meals. Sweet or salty snacks are rich in simple sugars, fats, preservatives and dyes, and poor in minerals and vitamins. Their excessive consumption can lead to the development of diet-related diseases in the future.
Purpose: To evaluate the nutrition of children and adolescents with a focus on snacking between meals.
Materials and methods: The study included 162 students from Bialystok schools, of which primary school students accounted for 30.2%, junior high school 38.3%, high school 31.5%. The questionnaire used by the authors contained 27 questions.
Results: Regular meals were consumed by only 55.1% of primary school students, 35.5% of junior high school, and 37.3% of high school students. Two and fewer meals a day were consumed by 1.6% to 5.8% of the students studied. First breakfast was omitted by 18.4% of the students in elementary school, 16.1% of junior high school, and 15.7% of high school. Second breakfast was omitted by 12.9% to 17.6% of the respondents.Sweet products instead of a second breakfast were consumed by 44.9% of primary school students, 61.3% of junior high school, and 64.7% of high school students. Snacking most often occurred in the respondents' home (69.4% of elementary school students, 43.5% of secondary level students, and 52.9% of high school students). Water in school was drunk by 85.7% of primary level students, 56.5% of junior high school, and 51.0% of high school. The main source of knowledge about nutrition for 61.2% of primary level students was the family, while television, radio, and the Internet were the main sources of knowledge for 62.7% of high school students.
Conclusions: The regularity of eating in the study group decreased with the studied students’ age. The most popular products in the group of younger students were salty snacks and sweets. Healthy snacking was observed more frequently in the group of high school students. The main place of snacking was the home. The primary source of knowledge about nutrition for primary school students was the family and for high school students the mass media.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the blood. Recent studies demonstrated the presence of CSF-receptor (G-CSFR) system in the brain and spinal cord, and their roles in neuroprotection and neural tissue repair, as well as improvement in functional recovery. G-CSF exerts neuroprotective actions through the inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation, and the stimulation of neurogenesis. This review highlights recent studies on the potential use of G-CSF in cerebral palsy.

Introduction: Stress experienced by parents of a disabled child can have a negative impact on family relationships.
Purpose: Assessment of parents coping with critical situations.
Materials and methods: We analyzed 83 families, including 30 families from Poland, 25 families from Belarus and 28 families from France and we used Coping Inventory for Stress Situations (CISS) and The General Self- Efficacy Scale (GSES).
Results: After hearing the diagnosis most often parents felt shock (63.3% from Poland, 68% from Belarus and France 85.7%). Main parents' emotions induced by the disability was fatigue (76.7% from Poland, 44% from Belarus and 71.4% from France - p=0.028) and sadness (73.3% from Poland, 40% from Belarus and 28.6% from France - p=0.002). Most often in response to the annoying and stressful child’s behaviour parents tried to admonish (76.7% from Poland, 56% from Belarus and 75% from France) or shout at the child (66.7% from Poland, 24% from Belarus and 17.9% from France p <0.001). The least likely preferred style of coping with stress in all countries was the search for socializing. The highest rate of self-efficiency characterize parents from France, the lowest from Poland.
Conclusions: The existence of factors which could significantly affect the level of burn-out syndrome in parents, such as the deterioration of the financial situation (mainly in Belarusian families), sadness, fatigue, insomnia (mainly in Polish families). Parents chose effective strategies of coping, and the predominant style was focused on the task. It has been shown that parents lack the ability to control negative emotions, which in particular affected Polish families (for example, domination of trials to admonish and explain, shouting at the child).
