ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the functional outcomes of patients with contained lumbar disc herniation (L4-L5, L5-S1) treated with manual percutaneous nucleotomy (MPN) and demonstrate that it remains a technique with good results. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal study with 110 patients contained with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treated with (MPN). The evaluation was pre-surgical and 4, 30, 180 and 365 days after the surgery. We used Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Macnab criteria. Descriptive and inferential statistics for differences. Results: N=110: 58 (52.72%) men, 52 (47.27%) women; average age 37.95 years (14-56) ± 10.60; most affected level: L4-L5 in 63 (57.14%) patients. NPS preoperative average: 7.75 (5-9) ± 1.12, and at 365 days: 2.14 (0-7) ± 2.37. The mean preoperative ODI was 37% (28%-40%) + 3.06, and at 365 days 9.52% (0%-40%) + 13.92. The prognosis (ODI) was good to 79 (71.81%) patients at 365 days, regular in 26 (23.63%) and poor in 5 (4.57%), corresponding respectively to patients with no, mild, moderate and severe disability. The Macnab criteria showed similar results (p = 0.00, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.13 - Student's t). Conclusions: The results were good at one-year follow-up (p = 0.00), demonstrating that the MPN is still a good option for lumbosciatic pain relief.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT Objective: To conduct a descriptive study to find measures of central tendency in the vertebral bodies L3, L4, and L5 in the Mexican population. Methods: Fifty patients were considered, 33 male and 17 female, aged between 30 and 55 years. Measurements were performed at the levels L3, L4 and L5 taking the interpedicular distance (A), mid-sagittal diameter (B), anteroposterior distance (AP) and the depth of lateral recess (R) in axial 2-mm sections of CT scans (Somaton Emotion, SIEMENS, 2 sections) in a Mexican population with healthy vertebral bodies, with no history of lumbar pathology. Results: Overall, the measures obtained were mean interpedicular distance of 22.80 in L3, range of 16.34/28.72. In L4, mean of 23.83, range of 17.62/27.92. In L5, mean of 25.28, range of 21.88/31.29. Conclusions: This study managed to make a database that did not exist in Mexico, using measures of central tendency. Therefore, it opens the way for it to be possible, in future studies, to identify predictive factors or even developing implants.

Introduction.

Frailty refers to a decreased physiologic reserve in geriatric patients and its importance in terms of treatment planning and outcome prediction has been emphasized in oncologic practices for older patients with cancer. We investigated the clinical implications of a head and neck cancer (HNC)-specific frailty index suggested by prospective clinical and functional evaluations of HNC patients.

Materials and Methods.

We analyzed data on 165 elderly patients with HNC who were prospectively enrolled in our hospital from 2010 to 2013. Pretreatment functional evaluations were performed according to all comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) domains. We additionally evaluated the patients’ respiratory and swallowing functions using pulmonary function tests, voice handicap index (VHI), MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), and other associated tests. Factors affecting the 2-year morbidity and mortality were also analyzed.

Results.

Respiratory and swallowing problems were major causes of 2-year morbidity. Pretreatment performance status, VHI ≥8, MDADI <70, dental problems, and chemotherapy were significantly associated with early morbidity and mortality (all p < .05). CGA-assessed frailty was found in 72 patients (43.6%) and was significantly associated with 2-year mortality (p = .027) but not with morbidity (p = .716). The high-risk group according to our new HNC-specific frailty index that included functional evaluations of respiration and swallowing showed significantly higher 2-year morbidity (p = .043) and mortality (p < .001).

Conclusion.

Pretreatment functional disabilities related to respiration and swallowing were significantly associated with early morbidity and mortality. The suggested index would be more useful for assessing frailty in elderly HNC patients.

Background.

Palbociclib enhances endocrine therapy and improves clinical outcomes in hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Because this is a new target, it is clinically important to understand palbociclib’s safety profile to effectively manage toxicity and optimize clinical benefit.

Materials and Methods.

Patients with endocrine-resistant, HR-positive/HER2-negative MBC (n = 521) were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive fulvestrant (500 mg intramuscular injection) with or without goserelin with oral palbociclib (125 mg daily; 3 weeks on/1 week off) or placebo. Safety assessments at baseline and day 1 of each cycle included blood counts on day 15 for the first 2 cycles. Hematologic toxicity was assessed by using laboratory data.

Results.

A total of 517 patients were treated (palbociclib, n = 345; placebo, n = 172); median follow-up was 8.9 months. With palbociclib, neutropenia was the most common grade 3 (55%) and 4 (10%) adverse event; median times to onset and duration of grade ≥3 episodes were 16 and 7 days, respectively. Asian ethnicity and below-median neutrophil counts at baseline were significantly associated with an increased chance of developing grade 3–4 neutropenia with palbociclib. Dose modifications for grade 3–4 neutropenia had no adverse effect on progression-free survival. In the palbociclib arm, febrile neutropenia occurred in 3 (<1%) patients. The percentage of grade 1–2 infections was higher than in the placebo arm. Grade 1 stomatitis occurred in 8% of patients.

Conclusion.

Palbociclib plus fulvestrant treatment was well-tolerated, and the primary toxicity of asymptomatic neutropenia was effectively managed by dose modification without apparent loss of efficacy. This study appears at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01942135.

Psychometric test for blind adults and children, critical issues and perspectives
Authors: LUCCHESE FRANCO
Published: July 2016

In literature a paucity of issues to measure cognitive functioning in the blinds is available (Rich, Anderson, 1965;  Pichot, 1968; Newland, 1969; Vander Kolk, 1977; Nelson, Joyce, Dias, 2002) but in these reviews it is clear that they are not yet widely available without further support for research and development. This is particularly true for blind children. The purpose of the current study is to provide a proposal version of some of the Visual Performance Subtests adapted to blind children.

Authors: Alonso Lacasta Rebeca-Kerstin , Olazabal Roman Ion
Published: July 2016

El objetivo de este trabajo fue indagar en las posibilidades tímbricas producidas   por dos violinistas profesionales y analizar la capacidad de reconocimiento de los sonidos resultantes, tanto por una muestra de músicos como de no-músicos, con   el fin de valorar la importancia que se le debe dar al timbre en el proceso de enseñanza del violín. Para ello, se ha seleccionado una muestra de 60 adultos, de los cuales la mitad son músicos profesionales titulados y la otra mitad carecen de formación musical reglada. Se utilizó como instrumento la prueba experimental Ikarak que consiste en la ejecución de distintos sonidos y su reconocimiento auditivo. Se hallaron resultados que muestran puntuaciones altas en el reconocimiento auditivo de los sonidos tanto en el grupo de músicos como en el   de no-músicos. Por otro lado, los resultados muestran una correlación de pequeña magnitud entre ambos grupos, que resulta no ser estadísticamente significativa. Tras los resultados se pueden establecer programas potenciadores de la sensibilización tímbrica, con el fin de fomentar que la totalidad del alumnado de conservatorio alcance su máximo potencial y un alto rendimiento, ya que éstos   son el reflejo de un aprendizaje más eficaz.  Palabras clave: Timbre, reconocimiento auditivo, acústica violín, enseñanza musical.

RESUMENEl interés que nos ha llevado a realizar este trabajo se centra en la gran importancia que ha cobrado la inteligencia emocional en los últimos años y como, según indica Goleman (1996), la unión de la razón y la emoción es fundamental para comprender el desarrollo de la inteligencia humana. Además, diversos estudios muestran la importancia de desarrollar competencias emocionales en el contexto educativo, y más concretamente en los estudiantes universitarios. Mediante una metodología cuantitativa, y más concretamente a partir de un diseño transversal, en nuestro trabajo se pretende evaluar el nivel de inteligencia emocional (atención, claridad y reparación emocional) en una muestra constituida por 358 estudiantes del Grado de Maestro en Educación y Grados en Ciencias de la Universidad de Extremadura mediante el test de autoinforme TMMS-24 de Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos (2004). Los resultados obtenidos permitieron afirmar que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel reparación emocional según el sexo, y en todas y cada una de las dimensiones que conforman la inteligencia emocional según el grado en  el que se encuentran matriculados los estudiantes universitarios.Palabras clave: inteligencia emocional, emociones, estudiantes universitarios, maestros en formación inicial, enseñanza de las ciencias.  ABSTRACTThe interest of this work focuses on the great importance of emotional intelligence has gained in recent years and as, according to Goleman (1996), the union of reason and emotion is fundamental to understanding the development of human intelligence.

Este artigo de revisão cientifica prendeu-se essencialmente com o Modelo Minnesota – Modelo presente no tratamento do alcoolismo. A comunidade dos AA nasceu nos EUA e já ajudou milhares de membros a manterem-se abstinentes.  Foi nos anos 40 que o Modelo Minnesota começou a emergir significativamente e desde então espalhou-se por todo o mundo. Por isso verificamos que várias clínicas e associações utilizam este modelo, sendo exemplo a Clíncia Creta situada em Lisboa. Efetivamente com este modelo de tratamento  outros são utilizados em simultâneo - a terapia cognitivo comportamental como é o caso da Creta. Tudo se pode fazer desde que seja para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos alcoólicos anónimos.Palavras-chave: Revisão, Modelo Minnesota, Psicoterapia, Álcool
ÁLCOOL NA ESCOLA – UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE PREVENÇÃO E CONSEQUÊNCIA
Authors: Rodrigues Teixeira Reis Sandra Cristina , Nobre Sofia , Vicente Castro Florêncio
Published: July 2016

Este artigo de revisão científica sobre o consumo, neurobiologia e efeitos do álcool visa a reflexão sobre os programas de intervenção, sobretudo programas primários, uma vez que o público-alvo são jovens/adolescentes, num ambiente escolar. Portanto o subsistema escolar tem uma função crucial, podendo corresponder a alterações menos saudáveis dos hábitos dos jovens numa fase crucial do seu desenvolvimento. Sabendo que a escola tem um contacto privilegiado com os alunos, quer pelo meio ambiente educador, quer pelo tempo que passam na escola, é de particular interesse tornar-se regra ser este subsistema a detectar comportamentos de risco e consequente referenciação e encaminhamento às autoridades/apoios competentes. Torna-se pois fundamental munir a escola de programas adaptados de treino de competências sociais e gestão emocional, pois é neste ambiente e momento crucial do desenvolvimento que os adolescentes treinam e aprendem a dizer não ao consumo de substâncias aditivas, particularmente o álcool, e treinam a autoestima, autoconceito e resiliência, características primordiais ao bem-estar e indeléveis factores de protecção. Palavras-Chave: Álcool, Adolescência, Escola, Programas Preventivos, Revisão

Published: July 2016

La finalidad de esta investigación residió en conocer si los individuos pertenecientes a población infantil española con altas puntuaciones en Afecto Positivo (AP) poseían diferencias estadísticamente significativas con los individuos con bajas puntuaciones en AP en las seis dimensiones que componen las atribuciones académicas en el área de Lengua (Éxito: capacidad, esfuerzo y causas externas; Fracaso: capacidad, esfuerzo y causas externas). La muestra estaba compuesta por 862 estudiantes, entre 8 y 11 años. Se utilizó la subescala de lengua de la Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS) y la subescala de AP del Positive And Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C) versión reducida. La prueba t de Student reflejó que los participantes con altos niveles de AP obtuvieron medias significativamente más altas en la atribución al éxito y al fracaso en Lengua a causas externas. Por otro lado, los sujetos con bajas puntuaciones en AP obtuvieron medias significativamente más altas en la atribución del fracaso en Lengua a la capacidad y al esfuerzo. Los resultados obtenidos complementan la literatura previa existente y dejan la posibilidad a seguir ampliando el campo del conocimiento del afecto y de las atribuciones académicas.
La mediación universitaria: un recurso de orientación. Experiencia en la Universidad de Alicante
Authors: Grau Company Salvador , Gónzalez Gomez Carlota , Álvarez Teruel José Daniel
Published: July 2016

Este trabajo de investigación parte del concepto de orientación que compartimos con Bisquerra (2008), definiéndola como un proceso de ayuda continuo a todas las personas, en todos los aspectos, con la finalidad de potenciar el desarrollo humano a lo largo de toda la vida. En este marco de referencia caben todas las acciones dirigidas hacia quien necesita y busca apoyo para su crecimiento personal, académico y profesional. En el ámbito universitario, históricamente poco receptivo a este tipo de actuaciones, se vienen generalizando a raíz de las nuevas concepciones metodológicas que exige la convergencia europea conceptos novedosos e innovadores y que avalan la orientación en la Universidad, como tutorización, transición universitaria, o mediación. Y son ya muchas instituciones las que han puesto en marcha organismos y programas de innovación para su desarrollo efectivo. La Universidad de Alicante viene trabajando en estos temas desde hace unos años y una de las experiencias más novedosas la desarrolla la Facultad de Educación, implantando la figura de la mediadora como recurso de resolución de situaciones conflictivas. En el marco de esta innovación nos planteamos abordar qué se entiende por mediación y cuál es su funcionalidad, al tiempo que realizar una reflexión sobre los agentes implicados y las competencias necesarias para su implementación. Ha participado en la investigación un grupo de alumnas solicitantes del recurso y un equipo docente constituido en Red de investigación. De los resultados obtenidos en la búsqueda de delimitación conceptual y funcional, de estrategias de gestión y de propuestas de actuación en el proceso mediador podemos concluir que es un aspecto positivo y necesario que rentabiliza las tareas de gestión universitaria y que soluciona al alumnado situaciones que pueden entorpecer un desarrollo personal y académico adecuado.

Published: July 2016

Las personas mayores cada vez otorgan más importancia a la vivencia activa de su sexualidad, lo que choque con algunas de las limitaciones físicas que impone la vejez. El objetivo de este trabajo es acercarnos a la vivencia de la sexualidad en hombres mayores a través de uno de los principales cuestionarios empleados en el estudio de la respuesta sexual masculina: el Índice Internacional de la Función Eréctil. Para ello, 38 hombres de entre 53 y 81 años completaron este y otros instrumentos a través de los cuales se encontró que si bien algunos aspectos de la respuesta sexual (como la función eréctil o el deseo sexual) efectivamente se veían afectados negativamente en hombres mayores, el impacto sobre otros tanto o más importantes como la satisfacción sexual global es limitado. Estas evidencias aportan un nuevo punto de vista a la comprensión de la vivencia de la sexualidad en la edad adulta y permite mejorar las estrategias preventivas y de intervención en este colectivo.
DESAJUSTE CLÍNICO Y ESCOLAR Y SÍNTOMAS EMOCIONALES EN NIÑOS Y ADOLESCENTES DIABÉTICOS Y NO DIABÉTICOS

Published: July 2016

La aparición de diabetes mellitus de tipo 1 en la niñez y la adolescencia puede conllevar importantes diferencias significativas en habilidades desadaptativas (depresión, ansiedad y estrés, principalmente) con respecto a la población que no padece dicha enfermedad. Acorde con esto, el siguiente estudio pretende analizar la existencia de dichas diferencias entre un grupo de niños y adolescentes diabéticos y otro grupo control que no padece ningún tipo de patología crónica. En dicha investigación han participado un total de 88 familias con hijos de edades comprendidas entre 10 y 18 años, de los cuales 42 niños padecían diabetes y los otros 46 no. El instrumento seleccionado para medir el Desajuste Clínico (compuesto por las dimensiones de Ansiedad, Atipicidad, Locus de Control y Somatización – en el S3–), el Desajuste Escolar (conformado por la actitud negativa hacia el colegio, actitud negativa hacia los profesores y búsqueda de sensaciones –en el S3–) y otros Síntomas Emocionales (compuesta por las subescalas de Ansiedad, Relaciones Interpersonales, Autoestima, Estrés Social, Depresión y Sentido de Incapacidad) ha sido el Sistema de Evaluación de la Conducta de Niños y Adolescentes (BASC). Los análisis de diferencia de muestras concluyen que los niños diabéticos tienden a puntuar más alto en ambas dimensiones globales, si bien las diferencias halladas entre ambos grupos tan solo son significativas en Desajuste escolar y Síntomas emocionales (para la muestra de niños) y Desajuste Clínico (en la muestra de adolescentes). Dichas puntuaciones dejan entrever que, en consonancia con los estudios previos realizados, la aparición de esta enfermedad supone una alteración de los estados anímicos y emocionales de quienes la padecen. Este hecho constata la importancia de elaborar pautas que potencien hábitos adaptativos y que enfaticen la independencia de niños con diabetes, para ayudarlos a ganar confianza en sí mismos en pro de mejorar estas habilidades.

Published: July 2016

El objetivo de este trabajo es averiguar si es posible predecir las características de personalidad, medidas con el Inventario de Personalidad NEO PI-R (Costa y McCrae, 1978, adaptación española, 1999), a través de la teoría de los Moldes Mentales (test Moldes, Estrategias Cognitivo-Emocionales de Hernández-Guanir, 2010). Este evalúa las formas prototípicas de interpretar la realidad en situación de egoimplicación. La muestra objeto de estudio está conformada por 332 agentes de policías locales de la Comunidad Autónoma Canaria, compuesta por agentes elegidos por sus mandos y también seleccionados por muestreo sistemático. Realizando regresiones lineales múltiples, los resultados muestran que es posible obtener modelos predictivos exploratorios en cada uno de los factores de la personalidad. Se obtiene un perfil en cada uno de dichos factores, confirmando la validez predictiva de la teoría de los Moldes Mentales. Se establece también una jerarquía predictiva, siendo el Neuroticismo el factor de mejor predicción, y el factor de Apertura el de menor fuerza en el pronóstico. Existe también una variabilidad en la implicación de los distintos Moldes de la mente, con diversidad de peso específico de estos, destacando los moldes de Transformación rentabilizadora, Desplazamiento emocional, o la Atribución al temperamento como los que más contribuyen a la predicción de alguno de los factores.

Computer as an Active Form of Spending Free Time by children
Authors: Dubis Małgorzata
Published: July 2016

Nowadays free time is of great importance in the life of individuals. It is an intrinsic aspect of life, necessary for the proper functioning of a person. Modern civilization throws temptations of passive rest and sedentary entertainment especially the use of a computer. As reality suggests, one of the most popular forms of spending free time by teenagers is „meeting” in a virtual space. Spending free time by young people on social networking sites has become an integral part of their lives. Pilot studies are presented in this article, they concern different ways of spending free time of young people with the special consideration of using the computer and the internet. The diversity in ways of spending free time has been analysed in these studies according to the age ranges of young people and diverse territorial environments. The researches that served to collect the empirical material, were conducted in 3 big towns, 3 medium-sized towns, 3 small towns, and 3 rural districts. It was pointed out that irrational use of computer and internet by young people causes real danger for the health and the functioning of a child. Moreover, due to the lack of full social maturity, young people are easily influenced by others, also those impelling undesirable behaviours.
Tanárok és tanítványaik egy műszaki létesítmény megvalósításának tükrében
Authors: Nemes József
Published: July 2016

Vas megye polgárai százhúsz évvel ezelőtt az akkori műszaki kultúra maximumát alkották meg, amelyet csak nagyon alapos felkészültséggel lehetett kivitelezni. Az ikervári vízerőmű nem jöhetett volna létre akkor és ott, ha Vas megyében nem tanítanak olyan tanárok, mint Dr. Kunc Adolf és Dr. Edelmann Sebő, nincsenek olyan tanítványok, mint a Gothard-testvérek. A tanár–tanítvány kapcsolatot tovább vizsgálva láthatjuk, hogy Kunc Jedlik Ányos tanítványa volt; a következő kapcsolódási pont, ami talán kiindulásul is szolgálhat az a győri bencés gimnázium, ahol Jedlik és Edelmann is tanult. A dolgozat azt mutatja be, hogy a generációkon keresztül felhalmozódó szellemi tudás és empirikus ismeretek hogyan jelennek meg a gyakorlati életben, hogyan válik kulturális és anyagi tőkévé. Ha elfogadjuk, hogy valódi értékek csakis így jöhetnek létre, akkor napjainkban is sokkal hatékonyabban tudjuk humán erőforrásainkat kihasználni.
Klebelsberg Kunó oktatáspolitikai reformjai
Authors: Kozák Csaba
Published: July 2016

A két világháború közötti Magyarország megítélése kapcsán soha meg nem szűnő viták folytak, folynak, már évtizedek óta. Az első világháborúból vesztesen kikerülő, területeinek kétharmadát elveszítő, szétzúzott iskola-, település-, közlekedés- és iparhálózattal rendelkező ország a nemzetkatasztrófa megélése ellenére is felállt a földről, és újra a fejlődés útjára lépett. A Bethlen-kormány „erős emberének”, Klebelsberg Kunónak (1. kép) páratlan rövid idő alatt véghezvitt, az oktatás minden területére kiterjedő reformja előtt még a ma embere is köteles főhajtással adózni. Az alábbiakban a népiskolai és középiskolai reformok bemutatására kerül sor.
Bilingualism and Expressive Vocabulary in Infants
Authors: Planells Hernani Begoña
Published: July 2016

Our research was focused on how the acquisition of a second language in pre-school students does not harm but benefits, and specifically how it helps to expand students´ vocabulary based on the fact that the more vocabulary in Spanish, the more they learn or have in English. In addition, we focused on the oral part in which we did evaluate how students know and produce correctly the vocabulary presented through flashcards. The sample consisted of a group of 40 (n = 40) 4 year - old children of a bilingual school in northern Madrid. The methodology followed showed a certain amount of flashcards based on the vocabulary they were learning in the classroom so that students could produce orally what they saw in the different images. Regarding the acquisition of vocabulary in other language than their mother tongue, there are several aspects to consider; first, we had to make reference to age. The smaller a child is exposed to a language, the faster and better he or she will learn, and second it must be said that following the results of our study, in our case, the more Spanish vocabulary our students have, the more English vocabulary they learn. Moreover, in our sample, those whose chronological age was younger had lower vocabulary both in Spanish and in English.

Review of international media ethics
Authors: Christians Clifford G.
Published: July 2016

An international orientation has been a primary goal of media ethics, especially since the MacBride Report (1980), as can be seen in cases, issues and codes of ethics that have been adopted in different countries. But work in ethical theory has also been increasingly committed to an international perspective, and three examples of it (besides the classical Habermas’ discourse ethics) are discussed in this essay: feminist ethics of care, African communal ethics, and Confucian media ethics. All these theories emphasize, in their specific ways, three major ethical principles – truth, human dignity, non-violence – that emerge from a common protonorm, a kind of first belief that can be found in all religions, philosophies, and cultures: the sacredness of life. Given the dilemmas and moral issues that the media face in today’s volatile world, a commitment with these universal values will give communication education and practice long-term vitality.
Novos desafios para uma deontologia jornalística duradoura: o modelo de negócio dos media face às exigências éticas e à participação cidadã
Authors: Maciá-Barber Carlos
Published: July 2016

Os avanços tecnológicos modificaram as rotinas informativas, incorporaram suportes alternativos para veicular a informação e estão a transformar as mensagens jornalísticas. Mas os princípios essenciais da prática jornalística, aqueles que estão consagrados nos códigos deontológicos, mantêm-se inalteráveis. Media e jornalistas não ignoram as necessárias adaptações da realidade profissional requerias por esta conjuntura, mas custa aos editores e aos gestores assumirem e incorporarem aquelas tendências emergentes que possibilitam uma efectiva melhoria da qualidade dos produtos que elaboram e que oferecem à sociedade: a adopção de padrões éticos na produção (normas ISO, selos éticos) e a integração da participação activa dos cidadãos no processo informativo (narrativas transmédia, media sociais). A sua efectiva incorporação tem sido lenta e pobre. O modelo de negócio do sector dos media terá de assumir e integrar ambas as realidades na sua organização e no seu sistema de produção, quer para sobreviver, quer para cumprir verdadeiramente a sua missão de serviço público.
Between truth and respect – towards an ethics of care in journalism
Authors: Camponez Carlos
Published: July 2016

This article seeks to explore the contributions of an ethic of care for journalism. Far from refusing the objectivity paradigm, the ethics of care emphasizes the role of journalism in its engagement with the public sphere and democracy, stressing the social responsibility dimension based on respect for the different stakeholders in the complex process of information: the subject who informs, the public and the information sources; journalism as a professional culture. This perspective can be a response to the contradictions that we find across the normative field of journalism, tightly placed between the paradigm of objectivity, freedom of speech and the market demands. In a communication where the logics of commodification, entertainment and audiences prevail, the ethics of care based on respect can become an alternative response towards a new public contract and journalism’s credibility.
Ética e teorias da comunicação: poder, interações e cultura participativa
Authors: Martino Luis Mauro Sá , Marques Ângela Cristina Salgueiro
Published: July 2016

Este texto aborda aspectos das concepções de ética presentes nas principais Teorias da Comunicação, identificando, em algumas de suas proposições epistemológicas, elementos de um ethos. Sublinha-se como essas teorias, além de abordarem processos comunicativos mediados, propõem procedimentos e ações práticas. Em perspectiva histórico-crítica, mapeia-se como noções de poder, capacidades comunicativas e delineamentos do sujeito político, entre outras, são entrelaçadas às enunciações teóricas da área. A análise desenvolve-se ao redor de três perspectivas: (a) assimétrica, com o poder colocado ao lado dos meios de comunicação; (b) simétrica, equivalendo, em espaços diferentes, produtores e receptores; (c) paritária, com intersecção entre ambos em uma cultura da participação. O texto analisa essas três perspectivas nas rupturas e continuidades entre o ético e o epistemológico.
Credibility of social online media: in the eyes of Finnish professional journalists
Authors: Hasnat Mohammad Ofiul
Published: July 2016

This article reviews the changed structure of news presentation in the social media, addressing concerns about credibility and ethics. It highlights the important factors of accuracy and trustworthiness to measure newsworthiness and credibility of the news of social media. Possible ideas for editing social media contents have been suggested as absence of a gatekeeping process has raised question about the credibility of the social media. The study analyses contents of theme interviews conducted with selected journalism professionals from four newspapers: Lapin Kansa, Kaleva, Keskipohjanmaa and Österbottens Tidning in Finland. The results show that the social media started to serve the purpose of people getting news and will emerge as full-fledged news media in future, if the authenticity, credibility and transparency of information could be ensured upholding journalistic ethics.
Beyond propaganda and the Internet: the ethics of journalism
Authors: Serra J. Paulo
Published: July 2016

According to Herman and Chomsky’s “propaganda model”, the information conveyed by the news media is largely determined, both with regard to the agenda-setting and the framing of the news, by the “persuasion industries”. Unlike those media, the Internet offers, at least for now, the possibility that different, alternative voices of citizens and civic and non-governmental organizations are freely heard. At the same time, the Internet challenges the monopoly of traditional news media to offer relevant, credible information. This possibility of citizens and organizations to use Internet to oppose to propaganda is, probably, one of the causes of the current crisis of journalism. The survival of journalism to this crisis lies not in forgetting its ethics but rather in the systematic and consistent reaffirmation of that ethics. Thus, ethics reveals itself as a necessary condition, even if not a sufficient one, to the pragmatic success of journalism.
Gastric adenocarcinoma with choriocarcinomatous differentiation in the remnant stomach, 54 years after Billroth II partial gastrectomy
Authors: Yildirim Mehmet , Erkan Nazif , Vardar Enver , Ilhan Enver , Erkul Zehra
Published: July 2016

The gastric remnant cancer is defined as a cancer that has developed 5 or more years after distal gastric resection for benign diseases of the stomach. The choriocarcinomatous differentiation of adenocarcinoma in the stomach is a very rare tumor. A 75-year-old woman underwent resection of remnant stomach which she had operated for benign gastric pathology 54 years ago. Pathologic examination of the resection revealed areas of choriocarcinomatous differentiation in addition to classical adenocarcinoma. In the literature on English language, this report presents the first case of adenocarcinoma associated with choriocarcinomatous differentiation in the gastric remnant. The treatment of these patients depends on the clinical setting, and early diagnosis is an important factor for the treatment strategies. Therefore, due to the probability of arising adenocarcinoma in the remnant stomach, the patient should be investigated with endoscopic examination periodically, despite the long postoperative period.
