Stop and think: Additional time supports monitoring processes in young children
Authors: Wacker Sophie , Roebers Claudia M.
Published: September 2022

When children evaluate their certainty, monitoring is often inaccurate. Even though young children struggle to estimate their confidence, existing research shows that monitoring skills are developing earlier than expected. Using a paired associates learning task with integrated monitoring, we implemented a time window to—"Stop and Think"—before children generated their answers and evaluated their confidence in the chosen response. Results show that kindergarten and second grade children in the—"Stop and Think"—condition have higher monitoring accuracy than the control group. Implementing a time window thus seems to support children in their evaluation of different certainty levels. Relating individual differences in independently measured inhibitory control skills revealed a correlation between monitoring and inhibition for kindergarteners.
Leeno: Type 1 diabetes management training environment using smart algorithms
Authors: Smaoui Mohamed Raef , Lafi Ahmad
Published: September 2022

A growing number of Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) patients globally use insulin pump technologies to monitor and manage their glucose levels. Although recent advances in closed-loop systems promise automated pump control in the near future, most patients worldwide still use open-loop continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) devices which require close monitoring and continuous regulation. Apart from specialized diabetes units, hospital physicians and nurses generally lack necessary training to support the growing number of patients on insulin pumps. Most hospital staff and providers worldwide have never seen or operated an insulin pump device. T1D patients at nurseries, schools, in hospital emergency rooms, surgery theatres, and in-patient units all require close monitoring and active management. The lack of knowledge and necessary training to support T1D patients on pumps puts them at life-threatening risks. In this work, we develop a training simulation software for hospitals to educate and train their physicians and nurses on how to effectively operate a T1D pump and reduce hypoglycemia events. The software includes clinically validated T1D virtual patients that users can monitor and adjust their pump settings to improve glycemic outcomes. We develop a Fuzzy-Logic learning algorithm that helps guide users learn how to improve pump parameters for these patients. We recruited and trained 13 nurses on the software and report their improvement in pump administration, basal rates adjustments, and ICR modulation.

Authors: Muhammad T. , Gharge Shivani , Meher Trupti
Published: September 2022

Background

The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of insomnia symptoms and to examine the associations of body mass index (BMI), chronic diseases, and lifestyle factors with self-reported insomnia symptoms among older people in India.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the baseline wave of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) that was collected during 2017–18. A sample of 31,358 older adults aged 60 and above was included in the analyses. Descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed to obtain the results.

Results

In this study, insomnia symptoms were reported by around 36 percent of older adults aged 60 and above. After controlling for socio-demographic factors, insomnia symptoms were positively associated with the risk of being underweight [AOR: 1.289, CI: 1.211–1.372] and negatively associated with obesity/overweight [AOR: 0.928, CI: 0.872–0.990] as compared to older adults with normal BMI. The odds of insomnia symptoms were higher among those who reported the following chronic conditions, i.e., hypertension [AOR:1.356, CI:1.278–1.438], diabetes [AOR:1.160, CI:1.074–1.254], chronic lung diseases [AOR:1.485, CI:1.351–1.632], bone-related diseases [AOR:1.561, CI:1.458–1.670] and any psychiatric disorders [AOR:1.761, CI:1.495–2.074]. In addition, older adults who were physically active [AOR: 0.850, CI:0.804–0.900] were less likely to report insomnia symptoms.

Conclusions

The study suggests a high prevalence of insomnia symptoms among the older population in India. Early identification of the signs of insomnia in older population is crucial, as is timely treatment for any kind of sleep problems. In addition, nutrition-based interventions and individual disease-specific management programs may help minimize the stressful situations in later life and develop a good night’s sleep for the older population.
As personas televisivas da teletransmissão de futebol
Authors: Telles Marcio
Published: September 2022

O artigo discute a construção narrativa das teletransmissões esportivas, fazendo um reconhecimento dos conteúdos dos planos que ocupam, na TV, o momento em que a bola sai de jogo. Defende-se que são nestes momentos e nestas imagens que a narrativa da partida é produzida, pois são estas imagens que se tornam âncoras para os comentários dos jornalistas. Recorrendo a um banco de dados destas imagens, retiradas das finais de Copa do Mundo de 1970 até 2010, aponta-se as principais personas televisivas que ocupam estes momentos de bola fora de jogo: jogadores, técnicos, árbitros e torcedores. O acervo de imagens permite perceber, diacronicamente, como a televisão aproxima-se cada vez mais dos rostos das personas. De forma sincrônica, permite entender como existem planos que se referem ao dentro de campo e como outros se reportam ao fora de campo e ao propriamente narrativo. Ao final, apontamos caminhos para novas pesquisas dentro dessa temática.

Authors: Dias Barcelos Janaina , Vieira Lima Dyego
Published: September 2022

Este artigo aborda a cobertura jornalística da Copa do Mundo de 2018, realizada na Rússia, por meio da análise de 33 capas do jornal Folha de S. Paulo, principal periódico do Brasil, em sua versão impressa. As capas analisadas foram publicadas entre os dias 14 de junho e 16 de julho de 2018, de forma a abranger todo o conteúdo relativo ao torneio. Através da metodologia da Análise de Conteúdo, que permite a realização de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, pretende-se, com este trabalho, verificar se a Folha, em sua página principal, deu prioridade à competição futebolística em comparação aos demais assuntos. Além disso, busca-se perceber se o jornal deixou transparecer algum tipo de posicionamento nos textos relativos à seleção brasileira e às equipes rivais: Alemanha, Argentina e Uruguai. São analisados a quantidade de conteúdo, manchetes, formas de ilustração e o espaço ocupado pelo Mundial e pelas demais editorias do periódico, bem como o teor das produções textuais que abordam, especificamente, a equipe do Brasil e de seus rivais.
Forms of capital, innovation capability and innovation in nascent ventures
Authors: Pagotto Daniel do Prado , Borges Junior Candido Vieira , Almeida Marcos Inácio Severo de , Hoffmann Valmir Emil
Published: September 2022

Objective: Investigate the impact of human, social, and financial capital on the variation of innovation capability of nascent ventures over time. Methodology/design: Quantitative research, developed using a longitudinal secondary database (Panel Study of Entrepreneurship Dynamics 2 -PSED 2). Multiple linear regression technique was used to test the research hypothesis. Main results: Among all types of capital analyzed in the study, level of education, personal finances, and physical social capital were determinantof the nascent ventures’ capability of developing innovation over time. Innovation capability influenced the creation of innovation, as well. Theoretical/methodological contributions: Considering the longitudinal design, the research presents which types of capital are relevant along time for nascent ventures to develop innovation capabilities. Relevance/originality: From the methodological perspective, the research has a longitudinal design, as suggested by entrepreneurship and innovation capability scholars since both phenomena are process oriented. It also differentiates innovation and innovation capability, which are two constructs used interchangeably by research, although being different. Social/management contributions: The results contribute to qualify which resources of a company in its initial phase have greater potential for generating long-term innovation.
Assessment of existing structures under climate change
Authors: Retief Johan V.
Published: September 2022

Assessment of the influence of human activities on recent, current, and future global and regional climate conditions and extremes has advanced sufficiently to provide a reasonable measure of its impact across the globe. The lack of concurrent adaptation of the design base for load bearing structures results mainly from the absence of a clear signal that climate change will have a significant effect on the climate actions that are accounted for in the structural design basis. The recent IPCC assessment of the physical science basis of climate change reports significant advances in observing and projecting changes in weather and climate extremes due to human influences. This provides an opportunity to reassess projections of future climate action conditions. Whilst the IPCC assessment confirms previous indications that, for example extreme wind will respond moderately globally, improvements in understanding and projecting changes show that trends will be overshadowed by uncertainties. The implication is that the design base will need to account for increasing uncertainties as climate actions are projected into the future, over the service life of existing structures, as well as those designed to current standards. The design base consequently in advance need to reflect continuous changes of existing structures.
Practical concepts for the use of probabilistic methods in the structural analysis and reassessment of existing bridges - presentation of latest research and implementation
Authors: Braml Thomas , Kainz Christian
Published: September 2022

In structural engineering and bridge construction, probabilistic calculations are only performed in a few exceptional cases. The ability to directly use information from the existing structure is an important advantage of probabilistic methods. Geometric data or the position and quantity of the installed reinforcing steel and tendons can be measured. Results from monitoring of the traffic can be used to generate structure-specific load models. Many clients are still very sceptical about the results of probabilistic calculations, even though there are several examples of successful application. The use of probabilistic verification formats is explicitly permitted by the German guideline for the assessment of existing bridges (German: Nachrechnungsrichtlinie). Since a high degree of special knowledge is required for the application of probabilistic calculations, it is difficult to establish the potential of this verification method in practice. It is necessary to enable the practical engineer to utilize the advantages of probabilistic calculations and to include the actual structural conditions into the calculation model, but without the need for all the special knowledge. Structure-specific partial safety factors include measured data and can be used for the well-known and in the codes established semi-probabilistic design concept. The authors present examples for the successful application of probabilistic methods and of data measurement during the reassessment of two existing bridges in Germany. The capabilities of full-probabilistic calculations for the reassessment of existing structures are described and concepts for the calculation of structure-specific partial safety factors are shown.
Establishing model uncertainty of SLS reinforced concrete crack models applied to load-induced cracking
Authors: McLeod Christina Helen
Published: September 2022

Although some research has been performed, serviceability limit state (SLS) concrete crack models have yet to be calibrated fully in probabilistic terms in structural design standards. This is partly due to the fact that the SLS is generally not the critical limit state in structural design. However, in some specialist structures such as water retaining structures, the SLS such as cracking is the limiting design criterion, specifically the crack width required to control leakage and thus requires a proper probabilistic analysis. In probabilistic crack models, the reliability of the crack model is determined by the performance function whereby the design limiting crack width is greater than the estimated crack width calculated using the appropriate design crack model. As cracking in concrete is a random mechanism with a high degree of variability and crack models tend to be at least semi-empirical with inherent uncertainty, model uncertainty of the crack model is significant and is applied in the reliability model as a random variable. A database was established of both short and long term cracking experimental data for the tension load case to quantify model uncertainty. However, the data for long term cracking is limited which meant that the model uncertainty in this case was not definitively established. This paper discusses the determination of model uncertainty for tension cracking, which could be extrapolated to other models where data is limited.
Androgenic status in men during COVID-19
Authors: Rozhivanov R. V. , Melnichenko G. A. , Andreeva E. N. , Mokrysheva N. G.
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND. COVID-19 is a disease that has a negative systemic effect on the human body, including the male gonads. Therefore, the androgenic status in men with COVID-19 needs to be studied.

AIM. To evaluate the levels of total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and free testosterone in men in the acute phase of COVID-19 and during convalescence.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. A continuous dynamic prospective study of 70 men with moderate to severe COVID-19 at the age of 50[44; 64] years. During the study, the levels of total testosterone, SHBG were determined with further calculation of the level of free testosterone by Vermeullen. The data were collected twice — at the patient’s hospitalization and at his discharge. The differences between the groups were considered statistically significant at p <0.05.

RESULTS. At the time of hospitalization for COVID-19, hypogonadism syndrome was observed in 61 people — 87%. Patients with hypogonadism did not statistically significant differ in age and severity of COVID-19 disease compared to men without hypogonadism. Inpatient treatment lasting 12[10;14] days resulted in a statistically significant increase in the levels of total testosterone from 4,7[2,96;8,48] to 12,85[8,62;19,2] nmol/l, p<0,001; SHBG from 27,87[20,78;36,57] to 33,76[26,27;52,60] nmol/l, p<0,001 and free testosterone from 107[65;174] to 235[162;337] pmol/l, p<0,001. This led to the elimination of hypogonadism in 28 patients — 40%. Patients with persistent hypogonadism were statistically significantly older than men with normalized testosterone, there were no statistically significant differences in the initial levels of total testosterone, SHBG and free testosterone, and there were also no differences in the prevalence of severe COVID-19 (3,97[2,86;7,46] vs 4,26[2,93;5,96] nmol/l, p=0,100; 28,76[20,78;48,59] vs 24,63[18,85;31,70] nmol/l, р=0,994; 100[58;118] vs 96[64;143] pmol/l, p=0,522; 24 против 18%, p=0,754, respectively).

CONCLUSION. COVID-19 has a pronounced negative effect on the production of testosterone in men, leading to the development of laboratoric hypogonadism, which is potentially reversible. The reversibility of laboratoric hypogonadism is typical for younger patients.
Dysfunctional high-density lipoproteins in diabetes mellitus
Authors: Poteryaeva O. N. , Usynin I. F.
Published: September 2022

The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) increases two to four times. One of the main factors increasing cardiovascular risk is dyslipidemia, which includes abnormalities in all lipoproteins, including high-density lipoproteins (HDL). The development of DM2 is accompanied not only by a decrease in the level of HDL, but also by significant changes in their structure. This leads to the transformation of native HDL into so-called dysfunctional or diabetic HDL, which loses their antiatherogenic, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. In poorly controlled diabetes mellitus HDL can not only lose its beneficial functions, but also acquire proatherogenic, proinflammatory ones. Diabetic HDL can contribute to the accumulation of such unfavorable qualities as increased proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. Given that HDL, in addition to participation in cholesterol transport, performs important regulatory functions in the body, there is reason to assume that structural modifications of HDL (oxidation, glycation, triglyceride enrichment, loss of HDL-associated enzymes, etc.) are one of the causes of vascular complications of diabetes.

Published: September 2022

Este artigo traz considerações teóricas e exemplos de falas torpes, ou "turpilóquio", atualmente usadas na região de Colonização Italiana do nordeste do RS (RCI). A partir de uma visão geral do emprego do turpilóquio desde a Roma antiga, os autores distinguem diferentes categorias e formas de realização (como, por exemplo, o eufemismo), focalizando mais especificamente os insultos, que podem ser associados aos atos ameaçadores à face descritos na Teoria da Polidez. São discutidos também alguns resultados de uma breve investigação sobre o uso do falar torpe em estádios de futebol, que apontam para uma das funções mais comuns desse uso: uma forma de desafogo e liberação de tensões.
Glossário de manuscritos goianos setecentistas
Authors: Xavier Vanessa Regina Duarte
Published: September 2022

O texto tem como finalidade apresentar questões relativas à elaboração de um Glossário de Manuscritos Goianos Setecentistas. Para tanto, esboça, inicialmente, algumas distinções e semelhanças entre o glossário, o dicionário e o vocabulário, à esteira de Camara Jr. (2009), Coelho (2008), Haensch et al (1982) etc., a fim de evidenciar a concepção de glossário que norteou a formulação do modelo aqui proposto. A seguir, tematiza a composição do glossário, abordando a organização e a finalidade de cada elemento que constitui a sua macro e microestrutura (CASARES, 1992; DUBOIS e DUBOIS, 1971; HAENSCH et al, 1982). Compõem o glossário os substantivos, adjetivos e verbos inventariados em setenta e três fólios do “Livro para servir no registro do caminho novo de Parati – Thomé Ignácio da Costa Mascarenhas (1724-1762)”. Tais itens foram consultados em dicionários da época, a saber, Bluteau (1712-1728) e Moraes Silva (1813), e em um atual, Ferreira (2004), dos quais extraímos as acepções mais adequadas aos contextos de uso do corpus. A importância da elaboração deste glossário é a possibilidade de elucidar os significados dos itens lexicais, com base no emprego destes no corpus, de modo a favorecer a sua compreensão.
Contribuições ao Dicionário Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa, de Antônio Geraldo da Cunha
Authors: Santana Messias dos Santos
Published: September 2022

A Lexicografia contemporânea reúne um conjunto de conhecimentos que possibilitam ao lexicógrafo organizar o seu dicionário não exatamente como ele quer, mas segundo critérios que antes ele deve definir quais são. Dessa forma, a partir da análise do Dicionário Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa, de Cunha (2007), este artigo visa a identificar os critérios empregados por esse autor na organização da estrutura de seu dicionário, bem como se os critérios estabelecidos são seguidos por ele ao longo do dicionário. Para fundamentar esta pesquisa, utilizar-se-ão como referenciais autores como Dapena (2002), Houaiss & Villar (2002), Faria (1985) e Santana (2009). Ao final, este artigo possibilitará um melhor conhecimento da estrutura do dicionário em estudo, contribuindo, assim, para o desenvolvimento da lexicografia etimológica no Brasil.
Questionando a funcionalidade das traduções do Chico Bento para o inglês
Authors: Aio Michelle de Abreu , Liberatti Elisângela
Published: September 2022

As Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQs) de Chico Bento, da autoria de Maurício de Souza, representam o suposto típico caipira brasileiro, sendo que as figuras e as falas dos personagens são uma tentativa de representação do cenário caipira dessas histórias. As HQs de Maurício de Souza são traduzidas para 50 idiomas diferentes e publicadas em mais de 120 países, mas, quando se trata de HQs do Chico Bento, o panorama é outro: existem apenas três traduções publicadas em língua inglesa, talvez pelo fato de o texto do Chico Bento ser carregado de variações linguísticas do português brasileiro não padrão e apresentar fatores culturalmente marcados. Dentro desse contexto, o presente artigo propõe uma análise funcionalista de alguns quadros de três HQs do Chico Bento traduzidos para o inglês, à luz da proposta de Nord (1991), a fim de analisar se as escolhas tradutórias são pertinentes ao propósito a que foram atribuídas.
O tradutor como função enunciativa
Authors: Nunes Paula Ávila
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho realiza a análise de um estudo de caso de autotradução. Dado que, nesse tipo de processo tradutório, a figura do autor e do tradutor parecem se fundir em uma só, o objetivo é evidenciar como essa sobreposição pode ser analisada enunciativamente, através das marcas textuais contidas tanto no texto original quanto no texto traduzido. Para tanto, toma-se um dos trabalhos de um conhecido autotradutor - Samuel Beckett - como corpus, a saber, En attendant Godot (1949), e sua autotradução, Waiting for Godot (1953). O cotejo entre ambas deve permitir tecer algumas considerações sobre como algumas diferenças encontradas de um texto para outro podem servir de base para se pensar o tradutor como função enunciativa.
Gramaticalização da conjunção mas: reflexões a partir do modelo de Sweetser (1991)
Authors: Rocha Ana Paula
Published: September 2022

O modelo proposto por Sweetser (1991) para análise de but (inglês) mostra-se bastante eficaz na leitura de ocorrências da conjunção "mas" em mostras do português medieval. O modelo permite também uma melhor compreensão acerca das motivações conceptuais que tenham levado o item a gramaticalizar-se. Este texto mostrará que as ocorrências de "mas" no português medieval enquadram-se ou no domínio epistêmico ou no domínio conversacional da linguagem. As ocorrências de "magis", advérbio de que se origina "mas", dão-se, porém, no domínio do conteúdo. A projeção metafórica entre os três domínios referidos pode explicar, pelo menos em parte, o processo de mudança semântica que fez parte da gramaticalização de "mas".PALAVRAS-CHAVE: mas; gramaticalização; projeção metafórica entre domínios.

Pensar na marcação gramatical da noção de tempo numa combinação de orações justapostas pode suscitar uma série de embates, especialmente porque há a atuação do princípio da iconicidade combinada com a multifuncionalidade de um tempo presente, que se presta à marcação da habitualidade, do passado e até mesmo de situações ainda por ocorrer. Este é objetivo deste artigo: discutir a expressão de tempo na combinação de orações que são combinadas por justaposição no português do Brasil.

Authors: Carneiro Thatiany Goularth , Carazzai Marcia Regina Pawlas
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo reporta os resultados de um estudo que investigou os tipos de erros orais que seis aprendizes de língua inglesa mais cometiam. Para tal, foram gravadas em áudio e transcritas dez aulas de uma turma composta por seis alunos de nível Novice High, em uma escola de idiomas no interior do estado do Paraná. Os resultados indicaram que, dos 154 erros identificados, os que mais apareceram foram os Intralinguais, totalizando 141 erros. Os erros Interlinguais apareceram quatorze vezes e os erros ambíguos foram os que menos surgiram - somente uma vez. Finalmente, os erros induzidos apareceram quatro vezes durante as aulas, o que indica que, talvez a professora deva tomar mais cuidado com o modo de apresentar a língua estrangeira aos seus alunos.

Reflexões a partir da observação de uma aula de Língua de Sinais Brasileira como primeira língua
Authors: Pereira Maria Cristina Pires
Published: September 2022

Apesar dos avanços, em termos de legislação, os educadores da linguagem que trabalham com crianças e jovens surdos ainda carecem de conhecimentos teóricos consistentes que embasem as suas práticas. O que vem acontecendo é a reprodução de estratégias sem uma devida reflexão sobre elas. As aulas de língua de sinais brasileira (Libras), consequentemente, transformam-se em aulas de tradução para a língua portuguesa. Através de uma observação de uma aula de Libras como primeira língua e de uma entrevista com o professor surdo, proponho alternativas com viés interativo.
O imaginário sobre a importância da língua inglesa na escola pública
Authors: Aiub Giovani Forgiarini
Published: September 2022

A aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras em escolas da rede pública, em especial a língua inglesa, se caracteriza principalmente pela sua alta taxa de insucesso. Além disso, o ensino destas outras línguas, como vem sendo concebido nos dias de hoje, tem uma base estritamente linguística, supondo a língua homogênea e transparente, e o sujeito como centrado, idealizado e dono de seu dizer. Este trabalho, filiado à  Teoria da Análise do Discurso de vertente francesa, busca saber quais são os discursos que circulam sobre a importância de ensinar e de aprender inglês neste contexto, busca saber qual o imaginário do professor e do aluno sobre a relevância da língua inglesa. Busca saber também qual imagem que eles têm sobre este referente. Para tanto, foram questionados professores e alunos do ensino fundamental e médio que já tenham passado pela experiência de (tentar) ensinar e (tentar) aprender esta outra língua.

O processo de significação em Ferreira Gullar e em Clarice Lispector
Authors: Torga Vânia Lúcia Menezes , Souza Valdicléa
Published: September 2022

No presente trabalho, objetivamos apresentar algumas reflexões acerca de um dos maiores problemas que perpassa o projeto epistemológico ocidental de língua(gem) e, por conseguinte, das práticas de ler e de escrever na contemporaneidade: o problema da significação. Para substancializar a discussão, analisamos o discurso literário presente na crônica Notícia de um assalto inusitado, de Ferreira Gullar e no romance Água Viva, de Clarice Lispector, por compreendermos que o discurso literário, presente nesses textos, traz, em seu arcabouço, inquietações importantes que implicam numa reformulação de toda metafísica ocidental, implicações estas que revelam modos singulares de representação dos/nos espaços sociais contemporâneos. Partindo desse lugar, trouxemos para o debate os posicionamentos teóricos de Barthes (2007), de Derrida (2001) e de Torga (2001) que juntos formam uma base de sustentação para discussão do projeto de leitura e escrita que vem se constituindo a partir de um jogo de possibilidades, na medida em que tenta apreender e ao mesmo tempo projetar/refratar realidades.
Estratégias acústico-articulatórias empregadas por anglofalantes na pronúncia do tap alveolar no português brasileiro
Authors: Stein Cirineu Cecote
Published: September 2022

o aprendizado de uma língua estrangeira implica não apenas a aquisição de uma nova estrutura morfossintática e lexical, como também a de estratégias articulatórias necessárias à pronúncia das palavras dessa língua, especialmente nos casos em que não há coincidência entre o quadro fonêmico da L2 e o da L1. Este artigo focaliza algumas estratégias utilizadas por aprendizes anglofalantes do português brasileiro para a pronúncia da consoante tap alveolar [4], tanto em posição intervocálica quanto em posição de encontro consonantal, apresentando a fundamentação acústico-articulatória envolvida em cada uma delas. Como estratégias mais produtivas, identificaram-se os usos da consoante aproximante alveolar [£]; da qualidade lateral; de uma vogal epentética entre a consoante obstruinte e o tap alveolar, nos encontros consonantais; e de uma consoante vibrante alveolar [r].
Role of consolidative surgical therapy in patients with locally advanced or regionally metastatic bladder cancer

The effect of radical cystectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection (RC/PLND) on the survival of patients with locally advanced and/or regionally metastatic bladder cancer is unknown.  However, emerging evidence suggests that there may be survival benefit to a subset of select patients with this disease who demonstrate a response to chemotherapy.  This article will review the current literature on the role of RC/PLND in the consolidative treatment of locally advanced and regionally metastatic bladder cancer. 
Cystectomy survival outcomes: A single center experience in Australia
Authors: Hoffmann Richard , Logan Callum , E. O’Callaghan Michael , Foreman Darren
Published: September 2022

Objective: Survival following cystectomy is influenced by gender, age and initial pathology. We report on variation in biopsy versus final surgical pathology and its impact on survival, five year survival of those undergoing cystectomy for bladder urothelial carcinoma, and evaluate any difference between gender and age.
Methods: Patients were selected from our hospital cancer database who underwent a cystectomy for bladder urothelial carcinoma between 1987 and 2015. Patients were considered as having bladder cancer if they had muscle invasive cancer, non-muscle invasive cancer or carcinoma in situ on their final biopsy pathology. Pathology was recorded at last cystoscopy before surgery and based on surgical specimen.
Results: One hundred and twenty-five patients were included, 71% male, and 29% female, with a median age at cystectomy of 67.1 years. Fifty-seven point nine percent of patients had no change between their biopsy and cystectomy histopathology and 18.3% of patients were downgraded, 16.6% of patients were upgraded, and 7.1% had incomplete pathology data. Median survival was 4.6 years and overall five year survival 58.2%. There was no significant difference in survival between genders and no difference when comparing between gender and age > 70 and < 70 years. There was no statistical difference in survival between patients who had their final pathology upgraded, downgraded, or confirmed.
Conclusions: We found lower rates of variation in biopsy versus surgical pathology than reported elsewhere and did not observe a significant association with survival. Our survival outcomes are similar to those within the literature. Gender did not impact on survival, even when comparing between age > 70 and < 70 years.
Does deep brain stimulation improve Parkinson’s disease-related lower urinary tract symptoms and voiding dysfunction?

Published: September 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD), caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, leads to motor and autonomic symptoms. A large proportion of PD patients experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and voiding dysfunction, associated with poor quality of life. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an adjunctive therapy used in combination with medication for Parkinsonian motor symptoms and is currently being explored to treat PD-related LUTS. This review discusses the current literature on the effects of DBS on lower urinary tract function and whether this modality can be used to modulate PD-related LUTS and voiding dysfunction.

Introduction: Community health nurses contribute significantly to better health, well-being and independence of older adults. The aim of the study is to compare preventive services for older adults in community health care between Sweden and Slovenia.Methods: Literature review and document analysis were used to conduct a qualitative comparative analysis. Literature was retrieved from the MEDLINE, CINAHL and COBIB databases. An analysis of documents such as sectoral legal bases, guidelines and expert recommendations in Slovenia and Sweden was also conducted. The analysis included sources related to preventive services for older adults living at home published between January 2000 and December 2020 in Slovene, English or Swedish.Results: Twenty units of literature were included in the review. Four comparative factors were identified: system and legal basis, organisation and scope, providers, and content. In Slovenia, all older adults are entitled to the same range of preventive services. Compared to Sweden, the organisation of community health care in Slovenia is more centralised, all older adults are entitled to the same scope of preventive health visits, while the level of education and scope of competences of healthcare providers are lower. In both countries, the content of preventive home visits to older adults is similar.Discussion and conclusion: In Slovenia, community health nurses with additional knowledge could prescribe medical devices and medications form a limited list, as well as coordinate care. This would allow them to act more independently in patients' home environment. Further development of more personalised preventive services for older adults depends on research, resource provision and consideration of the organisational culture.

Uvod: Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali lahko z uvedbo multimodalne analgezije po carskem rezu zmanjšamo odmerke opioidov in pospešimo pooperativno okrevanje.Metode: V retrospektivni kohortni raziskavi sta bili primerjani dve skupini: eksperimentalna (po uvedbi novega analgetičnega režima) in kontrolna skupina (pred uvedbo novega analgetičnega režima). Opazovana je bila sposobnost samostojne osebne higiene porodnice, skrb za novorojenčka po carskem rezu in čas od operacije do prvega podoja. Pri statistični analizi je bil uporabljen test hi-kvadrat in Mann-Whitneyjev U-test.Rezultati: V skupino z quadratus lumborum blokom in v kontrolno skupino smo vključili po 58 otročnic. Po uvedbi multimodalnega analgetičnega režima je večji delež otročnic samostojno skrbel za osebno higieno po šestih urah po carskem rezu (44 (76 %) otročnic v skupini quadratus lumborum blok in nobena v skupini opioidne analgezije). Po dvanajstih urah se je delež pri skrbi za osebno higieno v skupini, v kateri smo lajšali bolečino z opioidno analgezijo, nekoliko popravil 55 (95 %) v prvi skupini in v drugi skupini 28 (48 %, p < 0,001). Prvi podoj po carskem rezu je bil v prvi uri po operaciji pogostejši pri kontrolni skupini (19 otročnic pri quadratus lumborum bloku (33 %) in 32 otročnic z opioidno analgezijo (55 %, p = 0,02), po dveh urah razlik ga niso zaznali.Diskusija in zaključek: Z multimodalnim analgetičnim načinom pripomoremo k hitrejšemu samostojnemu izvajanju negovalnih aktivnosti otročnice, ki ji omogočajo hitrejšo prilagoditev na novo življenjsko vlogo.
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF TURKISH-STYLE FERMENTED GARLIC PICKLES PRODUCED USING FOUR DIFFERENT POTENTIALLY PROBIOTIC STARTER CULTURES
Authors: ALP Duygu , KULEAŞAN Hakan
Published: September 2022

Mono-cultured or mixed-cultured fermentations have been preferred to spontaneous fermentation in pickle production. Therefore, five different groups of garlic pickles were produced adopting the Turkish-style fermentation using monocultures or mixed-cultures containing four different probiotic strains. The inhibitory effect of garlic on those strains, the antagonistic activities, the organic acid production abilities of the strains were examined. The chemical properties of the produced pickles, the viability of the strains, their relationship with yeasts in this process were investigated. At the end of the fermentation, there was a approximately 1-logarithmic-decrease in the microbial counts of all the tested strains used for the pickle groups, of which their initial counts was an average of 6.99 Log CFU/ml. All of the strains produced nine different organic acids. This result was associated with the hetero/homo-fermentative properties of the strains. The results showed that the production by probiotic bacteria supported the functional properties of the pickles.

Published: September 2022

In this study, wheat breads including Spirulina platensis (SP) and protein extracts from Spirulina platensis (SPE) at levels of 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.50% were prepared and textural, volume, color and sensory properties were determined. Moreover, changes in total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (AOA) and in vitro protein digestibility (PD) of breads were investigated during in vitro digestion. The sample with the highest firmness value was control (919.4 g, p≤0.05). Breads with SP and SPE had higher volume than control (p≤0.05). The L* (52.2±1.0) and b* (18.9±0.2) values were the lowest for bread with SPE-0.25 (p≤0.05). The AOA of breads (SP-0.125, SP-0.5 and SPE-0.25) increased after in vitro gastric digestion (p≤0.05). The SPE-0.50 was the most preferable in terms of sensory properties. The SPE-0.125 had the highest TPC and breads including SPE at all levels had higher AOA than control and breads with SP after in vitro intestinal digestion (p>0.05).
“Appalachian Pride”
Authors: Shooter Robyn
Published: September 2022

This article explores the ways in which sentimentality, self-reflexivity, and identity intersect with the rural settings of Dolly Parton’s concept album My Tennessee Mountain Home (1973) and June Carter Cash’s pivotal solo work Appalachian Pride (1975). The works of pioneering country music artists Carter Cash and Parton illustrate a recurrent tension within the genre, representing a reconciliation between the traditional lyrical and sonic identifiers of country music and the increasingly modern approach of the wider popular music industry. The creation of emotive and personal musical works, notably at the height of Carter Cash’s and Parton’s respective careers within the mainstream country music industry, enables a presentation of their experiences as both dichotomously aligned with the conventions of rural music of the United States and distinct from the mythology surrounding the Appalachia region and constructions of Southern femininities. Further showcasing the societal and cultural practices that evolved within Appalachian communities, specifically the complex roles and creative pursuits undertaken by female-identifying members, June Carter Cash and Dolly Parton combined their rural Southern upbringings with universal experiences of love and loss.

Published: September 2022

The aim of the article is to identify and analyze the positive experience of using practice-oriented interuniversity games used in the educational process of a number of universities as a means of professional socialization of future specialists in the social sphere. The dynamics of socio-economic and political processes determine the relevance and necessity of intensifying research in the theory and practice of professional socialization, which, on the one hand, largely reflects the essence and regularities of the overall process of human socialization and, on the other hand, is a condition for the development and formation of a particular specialist. The application of theoretical and empirical research methods allowed us to state that the use of practice-oriented game forms in the educational process of a number of universities not only expands the range of modern psychological and pedagogical technologies applied in the course of students’ learning of academic disciplines but is also an effective tool for solving problems of professional socialization of future social sphere specialists already at the stage of training. The results of the study allow us to conclude that game-based practice-oriented technology as a means of professional socialization opens up additional opportunities for a more comprehensive understanding of the specificity of professional activity, its key aspects, comprehension and ways of solving professional problems. Conclusion. The presented article analyzes the experience of development and implementation of inter-university practice-oriented games on the basis of Moscow University of the Russian MIA named after V. Y. Kikotya which gives reason to consider the latter as an effective tool for professional socialization of social workers at the stage of training in higher education.

The article analyzes the Draft of an exemplary work program for basic general education in the Russian language for grades 5–9. The purpose of the article is to determine the compliance of the Project with the tasks of the modern school and the Federal State Educational Standard, determine the continuity in the content of education, identify controversial issues and formulate proposals for improving the Project. Methodology: theoretical (linguo-methodological) analysis of the document from the standpoint of traditional and modern linguistics and methodology, practice of teaching the Russian language in grades 5-9. Positively evaluating the fact of creating the Draft Exemplary Work Program, the author dwells in detail on the identified theoretical linguistic inaccuracies, primarily of a classification nature, as well as methodological shortcomings. Comments were made both of a general plan, relating to the entire program, and private, concerning individual topics, sections, and the distribution of material by class. There are cases of violation of continuity and prospects in the content of teaching the Russian language and insufficient specification of a number of didactic units and skills. The overload of the 5th grade program is argued in detail and recommendations are made for its correction by studying part of the linguistic information at the propaedeutic level. At the end of the article, it is concluded that it is necessary to improve the Draft Exemplary Work Program, proposals are presented aimed at correcting it, in particular, eliminating the identified theoretical errors, cases of discontinuity, more optimal distribution of linguistic material by year of study.
