Outcome of severe fixed-flexion deformity of the knee managed by ring fixator
Authors: Zayda Ahmed I.
Published: November 2021

Objective

The aim was to assess the effectiveness of gradual correction of severe flexion deformity of the knee by Ilizarov fixator.

Background

Acute correction of severe knee-flexion contractures (KFC) with soft-tissue release, osteotomy, or both may lead to serious complications. In contrast, gradual correction of KFC, a circular frame, and a constrained hinge, avoids acute stretch injury to soft tissues, with a low recurrence rate.

Patients and methods

Between March 2011 and February 2017, 16 patients with 21 affected knees included 12 male and four female patients, the age ranged from 4 to 58 years, and mean (20.81 years), unilateral in 11 patients, and bilateral in five patients. The etiology was maltreated deep burns in two patients, four patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, one had systemic lupus erythematosis, two had poliomyelitis, two complicated femoral lengthening, two had fibular hemimelia, complicated trauma in one case, and septic arthritis in two patients. Only gradual correction by Ilizarov fixator was used, except in one case where additional corrective osteotomy was done for hyperextended distal femur.

Results

The mean duration of the fixator was 3.9 months (range: 3–8 months). The follow-up period ranged from 4 to 48 months after frame removal with a mean of 10.8 months. Extension range significantly increases from the mean of −83°, to a mean of −4.7° at late follow-up (P<0.05). Mean flexion range was 35.9° that improved at late follow-up to a mean of 63.3°. The arc of motion postoperative was nearly the same of the preoperative with a mild increase. Two cases had recurrence of the KFC (15°) and knee subluxation, four cases had reversible excessive arthodiastasis of the knee joint, and two cases had epiphyseal injury in proximal tibia during the early stages of correction of the deformity.

Conclusion

Gradual distraction of the contracted tissues around the knee joint by Ilizarov fixator is a highly efficient and safe method that can address all components of intractable severe flexion contracture of the knee joint whatever the etiology of the deformity. There is a significant increase in the extension range and low recurrence rate compared with any other treatment method converting a nonambulant patient to an active ambulant one with a low complication rate.

Authors: Shashikumar BM , Harish MR , Deepadarshan K , Kavya M , Mukund P , Kirti P
Published: November 2021

Background:

Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (CRP) is an uncommon benign, acquired keratinization disorder. Studies on this disorder are lacking except for a few case reports and there is a paucity of Indian literature on the condition.

Objectives/Methods:

To study and describe the various morphological patterns and histopathological findings, as well as assess the response to treatment of 30 patients diagnosed with CRP.

Results:

Thirtypatients with a diagnosis of confluent and reticulate papillomatosis were included in the study. The male to female ratio was 1:1.5. Mean age at onset of skin eruptions was 27.3 years and mean duration of skin eruptions was 8.2 months. Most of the patients (60%) were asymptomatic. The majority (66.7%) had lesions distributed over upper trunk. Two-thirds of patients had typical brown macules in confluent and reticulate pattern. KOH mount was done in 24 cases and was positive in three cases (12.5%) for yeast-like hyphae. Biopsy demonstrated variable degrees of hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis, and moderate acanthosis. Thirteen out of eighteenpatients on minocycline showed complete clearance within 3 weeks andthreepatients had more than 50% improvement at the end of 3 weeks. Doxycycline showed satisfactory response but results were less satisfactory with azithromycin.

Conclusion:

CRP is an uncommon condition. There is a paucity of large studies in Indian literature. The present study highlightssuch a large cohort of cases. Prevalence of CRP was more in female in contrast to western studies. Association of CRP with hyperthyroidism was described in many studies but the present study highlights the association with hypothyroidism. Morphological variants like shiny atrophic lesions, verrucous lesions, and involvement of atypical sites like forearm have been described. Role of minocycline in the management of chronic and recurrent cases has been reinforced.
Polymorphous Light Eruption– An Indian Scenario
Authors: Karthikeyan Kaliaperumal , Aishwarya Manju
Published: November 2021

Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) is the most common, idiopathic, acquired photodermatosis, characterized by abnormal, recurrent, and delayed reaction to sunlight. Polymorphous light eruption is common worldwide but the morphology, distribution, and pigmentary changes are unique in Indian skin which is discussed in this review. The prevalence of PMLE is around 10–20% in the general population. It commonly occurs in females between 20and 30 years of age. It is the most common photodermatosis in school-going children. Visible light sensitivity is an important phenomenon in PMLE. It typically presents as recurrent and chronic lesions over photoexposed sites. Initially, patchy erythema occurs with pruritus. Most of the Indians belong to type IV to type VI skin and pigmentary changes are commonly seen. The unique feature of PMLE in Indian skin is the pigmentary change which varies from hypopigmented to hyperpigmented lesions. These pigmentary changes may occur alone or in combination with erythematous or skin-colored lesions. The pigmentary lesions are seen in more than 50% of lesions. The histopathology of PMLE is characterized by the presence of hyperkeratosis, spongiosis with or without the presence of liquefactive degeneration in the epidermis. Dermal changes in the upper and mid dermis include the presence of dense perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate. The management of PMLE includes both preventive measures and medical management. Topical sunscreens, topical steroids, hydroxychloroquine and antioxidants play a very important role.

Published: November 2021

Context:

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder characterized histologically by noncaseating granulomas. There is paucity of Indian data on cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Aims:

To describe the clinical, histopathological findings, and extracutaneous involvement in cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective study was done in patients of cutaneous sarcoidosis who had attended the dermatology clinic of a tertiary health care center in India from May 2009 to April 2015. The clinical details, histopathological findings, treatment, and response were reviewed.

Results:

There were 38 patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis. Mean age was 48 ± 13 years; 58% were female. Median duration of disease was 11 months (IQR 4–48 months). More than one morphology was seen in 28.9%, commonest being plaques (65.7%), and papules (50%). Erythema nodosum was rare. More than one site was involved in 55.3%, most commonly trunk (52.6%). Six patients had isolated cutaneous sarcoidosis. Commonest extracutaneous organs involved were lung (73.7%) and lymph nodes (68.4%). Histopathologically, classical naked sarcoidal granulomas were found in only 55.3%. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels were elevated in 74.3% (26/35) with significant association with extracutaneous disease. Treatment included topical and/or systemic corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, and tacrolimus.

Statistics:

Pearson's Chi-square test was done to analyze associations between the skin lesions, ACE levels, and systemic involvement; P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Conclusions:

Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are varied, commonest being erythematous plaques. Even though most patients had systemic involvement, we found no significant association of the type and number of skin lesions with extracutaneous involvement or prognosis. Elevated ACE levels were significantly associated with systemic involvement.
La incidencia de la edad y el género en los hábitos de uso de las redes sociales en la profesión periodística. El caso de centenials y milenials

Published: November 2021

Las redes sociales han venido a revolucionar la forma de consumo de información pero también la forma en la que el periodismo se adapta a nuevos públicos y a nuevas maneras de acceder a esa información.  Para conocer cómo se utilizan estas aplicaciones sociales desde dentro de los medios, se confeccionó un cuestionario, desde la perspectiva de género, que se aplicó a los profesionales de los medios de comunicación del País Vasco diferenciando entre grupos de edades, haciendo especial hincapié en las generaciones centenials y milenials.  Los resultados de las más de 500 encuestas nos muestran un panorama donde el uso de las redes sociales está plenamente asentado en las redacciones de los medios de comunicación pero donde no encontramos especiales sesgos generacionales en el uso de las principales herramientas sociales.  Por su parte, las mujeres periodistas son las que emplean mayoritariamente las redes sociales y las más utilizadas son Twitter, Facebook e Instagram en detrimento de otras como Telegram, Linkedin o diferentes recursos audiovisuales. El desconocimiento y la desconfianza son las principales causas de la primacía de unas sobre otras.
Unsettled Aspects of the Digital Thread in Additive Manufacturing
Authors:   The Barnes Global Advisors, Slattery Kevin T
Published: November 2021

In the past years, additive manufacturing (AM), also known as “3D printing,” has transitioned from rapid prototyping to making parts with potentially long service lives. Now AM provides the ability to have an almost fully digital chain from part design through manufacture and service. Web searches will reveal many statements that AM can help an organization in its pursuit of a “digital thread.” Equally, it is often stated that a digital thread may bring great benefits in improving designs, processes, materials, operations, and the ability to predict failure in a way that maximizes safety and minimizes cost and downtime. Now that the capability is emerging, a whole series of new questions begin to surface as well: •• What data should be stored, how will it be stored, and how much space will it require? •• What is the cost-to-benefit ratio of having a digital thread? •• Who owns the data and who can access and analyze it? •• How long will the data be stored and who will store it? •• How will the data remain readable and usable over the lifetime of a product? •• How much manipulation of disparate data is necessary for analysis without losing information? •• How will the data be secured, and its provenance validated? •• How does an enterprise accomplish configuration management of, and linkages between, data that may be distributed across multiple organizations? •• How do we determine what is “authoritative” in such an environment? These, along with many other questions, mark the combination of AM with a digital thread as an unsettled issue. As the seventh title in a series of SAE EDGE™ Research Reports on AM, this report discusses what the interplay between AM and a digital thread in the mobility industry would look like. This outlook includes the potential benefits and costs, the hurdles that need to be overcome for the combination to be useful, and how an organization can answer these questions to scope and benefit from the combination. This report, like the others in the series, is directed at a product team that is implementing AM. Unlike most of the other reports, putting the infrastructure in place, addressing the issues, and taking full advantage of the benefits will often fall outside of the purview of the product team and at the higher organizational, customer, and industry levels.

Published: November 2021

There are discussed current trends of corporate performance assessment (measurement of economic/financial, environmental, social and governance key performance indicators) and corporate reporting in this paper. In corporate performance assessment we focus particularly on food and agricultural sector. The core of the paper is the proposal of the prototype of information system for small and medium enterprises, which would enable various enterprises to introduce sustainable reporting. We propose a relational data model with several abstract entities to represent various differences in various reporting frameworks. Our goal is to design a generic information system which may be used by small and medium enterprises to start with their corporate performance assessment and reporting. The overall structure of the information system is described in the paper, along with the core data model and possible extensions into XBRL based reporting and business intelligence.

Authors: Ibáñez Sanchis Carla , Mazón Marín Javier , López Tarancón Marta
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo está enfocado, por un lado, al conocimiento sobre el toro embolado y, por otro lado, al estudio del globo ocular en esta especie. Mediante la unión de estos dos conceptos se pretende realizar una investigación sobre la existencia de lesiones oculares a causa del embolado en estos animales durante festejos populares. Las muestras se obtienen de 26 toros de lidia que han sido embolados a lo largo de varias temporadas con una media de 9 emboladas en cada animal. Un total de 52 ojos, que han sido objeto de este estudio, se obtuvieron acto seguido de su sacrificio en un matadero. Posteriormente, se realizó en primer lugar un examen macroscópico, concretamente, el examen externo del globo ocular, y a continuación, el test de fluoresceína, la evaluación ecográfica y del fondo del ojo. En segundo lugar, se llevó a cabo un examen microscópico observando la retina a partir de cortes histológicos. Los resultados de las pruebas desprenden que el 9,6% de los ojos estudiados presentaron lesiones, las cuales se asocian principalmente a problemas de manejo.
“When the Kalmyks saw me, they thought I was their black devil”: Inverting Centres and Peripheries in Colonial Travelogues Written by East Africans
Authors: Wilkens Katharina
Published: November 2021

Travelogues are a rich medium through which to explore observations of everyday culture and rituals, perceptions of the world order, and narrative strategies of othering. In this paper, I turn my attention to travelogues written by East Africans (coastal Swahili Muslims, diasporic Shi’i and Parsi South Asians, and Christian Ugandans) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although the authors come from different religious groupings, cultural-linguistic backgrounds and socio-economic milieus, they travel the same routes within East Africa and, occasionally, also to Europe or even as far as Siberia. I argue that the texts (including journals, retrospectives, and ethnographies) must be read as documents of East African cosmopolitanism. Mobility enables the authors to subvert the imperial world order by re-framing it narratively according to their own religious identity. This gives rise to reflections on humanity, equality and the beauty of knowledge, but not to the exclusion of racial and religious bigotry within and between the non-European communities in East Africa. In my analysis, I tease out narrative patterns, observational styles, and literary tropes present in the texts across religious boundaries. As all the texts were either commissioned by Europeans or edited by their translators before publication they do not document naively ‘authentic’ perspectives of East Africans, but reflect the complexities of communication within strict racial hierarchies. In concluding, I discuss the potential of religion to invert colonial centres and peripheries: European metropoles become places of exotic fascination while the familiar practices of co-religionists can turn the ‘hinterland’ into centres of learning.
CHLOROGENIC ACID – APPLICATION OF CONTEMPORARY DENSITY FUNCTIONALS TO A SINGLE MOLECULE
Authors:   Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Marković Svetlana , Tošović Jelena ,   University of Michigan, College of Pharmacy
Published: November 2021

Although chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 5CQA) is a dietary phenol known for its pharmacological and nutritional properties, its structural features and mechanisms of oxidative action have not been completely elucidated. Clarification of the 5CQA structure was conducted by comparing the experimental and simulated IR, Raman, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and UV spectra. For this purpose, a comprehensive conformational analysis of 5CQA was performed to reveal its most stable conformations in the gas-state and solution. Excellent agreement between all experimental and simulated spectra indicates correct arrangement of the atoms in the 5CQA molecule. In addition, the most stable conformation in solution coincides with that predicted with sophisticated NMR experiments. The quantum mechanics–based test for overall free-radical scavenging activity was applied for the investigation of antioxidative capacity of 5CQA relative to trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8- tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid, Tx) as a reference compound. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF), sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET), and single electron transfer – proton transfer (SET-PT) reactions of 5CQA and Tx with HO· and CH3OO· radicals were examined in benzene, pentyl ethanoate, and basic aqueous solutions. In non-polar solvents 5CQA reacts with HO· via HAT and RAF mechanisms, whereas HAT is the only reaction pathway with CH3OO·. At physiological conditions 5CQA exists in the form of monoanion and dianion. Both anionic forms undergo only HAT mechanism with CH3OO·. With HO·, the anions conform to the HAT, RAF, SPLET, and SET-PT mechanisms. Because all reactions of dianion are diffusion controlled, its contribution to scavenging HO· is comparable to that of more abundant monoanion. The calculated rate constant for overall reaction of 5CQA with HO· is in perfect agreement with the corresponding experimental value. The order of reactivity toward selected free radicals is the same in nonpolar and polar solutions: in comparison to Tx, 5CQA is more reactive toward HO·, but less reactive toward CH3OO·. Very good agreement between the experimental and calculated results confirms the ability of contemporary density functionals to quantify subtle physico-chemical interactions.

An annotated bibliography of the Mohenjodaro studies in the Pakistani research journals
Authors: Gohar Sirat , Shaheen Ifqut , Manatunga Anura
Published: November 2021

The publication of archaeological research is one of the important jobs the archaeologists should do. “Excavation without publication is destruction” is a famous axiom in archaeology. Once an archaeological site is exposed, it could not be restored despite the fact if the structures are conserved. Archaeologists aim to share as well as popularize archaeological discoveries and it necessitates the publication of results. Such endeavours result in preliminary reports, final reports, books, guidebooks, conference proceedings, scholarly articles in research journals, and popular articles in magazines and newspapers. All such forms of knowledge production and dissemination help archaeologists reach the target audience. Especially, research journal articles are primarily intended for specialists. This study focuses on the papers published on Mohenjodaro in Pakistani research journals (English). The study aims to prepare an annotated bibliography of the papers published on Mohenjodaro and place them in a broader perspective of the Indus Civilization. This research discovers that a total of 53 papers, which include reports of archaeological excavations, surveys, and conservation and preservation of monuments, research articles, a poem, and a book review, have been published on Mohenjodaro in Pakistani journals dedicated to archaeology, history, culture, and literature.
Smart fire monitoring system for a city: design and development
Authors: Sansolis Evans , Dumpit Karen Alinor , Feliprada Cheryl Ann
Published: November 2021

All Fire Alarm Systems essentially operate on the same fundamental principle and framework. It provides audible and visual alarm signals. An alarm is raised if a sensor detects smoke or heat, warns people that there may be a fire, and evacuate the premises immediately. Consequently, concerned individuals may call the fire department to mitigate the emergency at which, at this point of time, the firefighter's Emergency Respond Time (ERT) is vital.  ERT is one of the contributing factors to how much fire will consume lives and, or properties.  In worst cases, an entire building turns into ashes, lives taken because of a slow ERT. Then there are these casual "false-alarms" caused by the false-positive readings of the installed Fire Alarm Systems.  These false alarms cause mass panic and consume firefighters' valuable time and resources. The instances mentioned above are a few reasons why there is a need to implement an efficient city-wide fire alarm system.

This study focused on the design, development and testing of a wide-area Smart Fire Monitoring System comprised of major parts, the devices and the system software. Specifically, this study aimed to develop a smart fire alarm device using the Agile Prototyping Methodology (APM) and employ Agile Software Development Methodology (ASDM) for the development of the Smart Fire Monitoring System Software (SFMSS). For the development of the smart fire alarm device, the proponents assembled necessary sensors, electrical components, microcontrollers, and other electrical modules to create a working smart fire alarm device that abled to detect smoke; detect temperature spikes; detect the existence of fire; broadcast a GPS coordinates to the fire department; transmit and receive data through RF signals using long-range radio frequency (RF) module and SMS technology; and, be functional and operational under Low Power mode. Concomitant with this device is its system software, SFMSS, to manage and process the broadcasted data. SFMSS is a centralized system developed for the fire department to monitor the city for a fire outbreak. SFMSS continuously communicates with the fire alarm devices to autonomously monitor fire presence via radio frequency and process SMS notifications containing GPS coordinates, convert them into a readable address, and plot it in a city map in the event of a fire emergency. The proponents conducted a Stress and Reliability Test on the smart fire alarm device and Product Evaluation for Quality, Efficiency, and Usability with the Bureau of Fire Protection Region 6 for the entirety of the system.
THE GEOLOGICAL ROLE OF THE SEARCH METHOD "WILD CAT WELLS" IN THE STUDY OF THE HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL
OF THE PRIPYAT TROUGH
Authors: Gribik Yaroslav G.
Published: November 2021

The results of geological exploration for oil within the Elsky, Shatilkovsky, Savichsky and Petrikovsko-Shestovichsky sections of the Pripyat trough are analyzed. The analysis covers almost 70 years from the drilling of the first exploratory wells laid by the "wild cat" method to the modern comprehensive justification. During the analyzed period, from 12 to 23 deep wells were drilled with a total penetration of 42.3 thousand meters to 68.3 thousand meters in each section. The initial stage of work after the first oil inflow is characterized by a higher activity of drilling new exploratory wells, justified by the methods available at that time. The negative result of exploratory drilling in certain areas is also

due to the significant fragmentation of the intrasalt perspective horizons and the areal unevenness of reservoir layers in

the subsalt complex. Within the boundaries of the sites, deposits with recoverable oil reserves of no more than 450 thousand

tons are established, which can be determined as a low economic efficiency of prospecting operations. However, the work has played a positive role in determining real models of hydrocarbon traps for use in the study of other sites.
STATE OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THE ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR OF THE ORDER II (THE MYSHKA RIVER VALLEY, MINSK)

Published: November 2021

This article presents an assessment of the state of natural environment components (water, bottom sediments, soil and vegetation) within the valley complex of the Myshka River (Minsk). It is shown that in modern conditions, despite significant anthropogenic transformation, the valley complex retains a high potential for performing the necessary functions as an ecological corridor of the order II. The vegetation of the Myshka floodplain steadily retains its specificity due to the stable hydrological regime. Natural complexes here have a high ecological and recreational value. The section of the river in the middle course is in a more favorable condition, where the flow is better and the floodplain is represented by reserve green areas. A less favorable state is inherent in residual water bodies with disturbed flow in the upper course of the river, where the valley is mostly represented by areas of residential and public buildings. The river

experiences the greatest load at the mouth – in the area above and below the outlet of surface wastewater treatment facilities. Here the river cannot cope with the anthropogenic load, the assimilation potential is 11–12 points, polyelement anomalies of oil products, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc are formed in the bottom sediments.

The area of the Myshka River valley, located in a low riverbed floodplain, has a most polluted soils. Here, a pedogeochemical anomaly from an association of elements, including petroleum products, cadmium, nickel, zinc, lead, copper,

and manganese.

Published: November 2021

Neste artigo apresenta-se uma investigação relativa aos recursos semióticos ativados em atividades de modelagem matemática e seu papel no desenvolvimento dessas atividades quando esse se dá em um contexto online. O quadro teórico a partir do qual a análise foi realizada inclui a Modelagem Matemática na Educação Matemática e Semiótica como ciência dos signos. Uma pesquisa empírica em que alunos de uma disciplina de um programa de pós-graduação na área de Educação Matemática desenvolveram atividades de modelagem subsidia as análises com características de uma pesquisa qualitativa e alinhadas com um estudo de caso. Os resultados indicam que, no caso da atividade desenvolvida totalmente em contexto não presencial, emerge um sistema semiótico ainda pouco explorado na sua integralidade: o sistema tecnológico. Os recursos ativados neste sistema são combinados e inter-relacionados e têm o potencial semiótico de permitir que os alunos visualizem, testem e examinem suas abordagens acerca da situação-problema explorada pela atividade de modelagem matemática.
Regulação do comércio internacional, políticas comerciais e medidas administrativas em respostas à pandemia do COVID-19: uma análise do caso brasileiro e do papel da OMC
Authors: Fernandes Magali Favaretto Prieto , Sanchez-Badin Michelle Ratton
Published: November 2021

Este artigo trata da relação entre a regulação do comércio internacional e as políticas comerciais e medidas administrativas, como respostas públicas domésticas que disciplinam a importação, exportação e distribuição de medicamentos e produtos médicos, em meio à pandemia do COVID-19. Primeiro, analisa-se como o comércio internacional passou a ocupar o centro da crise de saúde global, e os impactos à importação e exportação de produtos médicos. Contrasta-se, de um lado, as medidas de restrições às exportações, e de outro, as medidas de facilitação de comércio e flexibilização regulatórias. A seguir, empreende-se um estudo das políticas comerciais e medidas regulatórias adotadas pelo governo e agências reguladoras brasileiras, sendo o Brasil o país que mais notificou os Comitês da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) sobre medidas comerciais e administrativas relacionadas à pandemia. Compara-se essas medidas com as de outros países-membro da OMC. Partindo dessa análise, relaciona-se o papel desempenhado pela OMC durante a pandemia e a regulação do comércio internacional com as políticas comerciais e regulatórias domésticas. Destaca-se a busca dessa organização internacional por garantir o máximo grau de transparência às medidas adotadas pelos governos, e a sua natureza institucional única, como fórum multilateral que propicia a cooperação entre países, essencial em tempos de crises e de tentações dos Estados em adotar políticas nacionalistas e protecionistas. Conclui-se, argumentando sobre a relevância das políticas comerciais e administrativas relacionadas ao comércio, e sua relação com o valioso trabalho técnico desenvolvido pela estrutura multilateral do comércio, como um eixo fundamental em tempos de crise.
O desaparecimento forçado de pessoas e o desenvolvimento histórico de sua proscrição e fenomenologia na intersecção entre Direito Penal Internacional e Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos
Authors: Oliveira Marcus Vinícius Xavier de
Published: November 2021

Neste trabalho se procurará reconstruir, da perspectiva histórica e fenomenológica, os diversos caminhos que levaram à incriminação do desaparecimento forçado de pessoas, processo que tem a intersecção entre Direito Penal Internacional e Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos como resultado, e não como ponto de partida. Ao se compreender, ademais, que ele se constitui em “método de submetimento” da população civil ao terrorismo de Estado, se entenderá que a discussão da origem imediata – se na URSS ou com o “Decreto Noite e Névoa” na Europa ocupada - perde o sentido, pois, onde o poder-violência for exercido sem o controle advindo do Estado de Direito e dos Direitos Humanos, esse fenômeno macrocriminal resta na forma de potência. Privilegiou-se, nesse trabalho, a pesquisa das fontes primárias – os autos do Jubiley e dos julgamentos dos crimes de guerra com base no LLC 10, em especial o caso dos Juristas -, bem como a jurisprudência do Tribunal Penal para a Ex-Iugoslávia, da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e a então Comissão de Direitos Humanos da ONU, além das resoluções no âmbito da OEA e da ONU.

Published: November 2021

This study aimed to assess how the social distancing measures impacted the choice of walking as a transportation mode, environmental preferences for walking, and walking practice among urban residents in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. Data were collected through an online survey from September 21 to September 28, 2020, when the second level of social distancing measures was implemented; 2,112 participants aged 19 or older were included in the analysis. During COVID-19, the choice of walking as a means of transportation increased by 10.1%p, while the choice of public transportation decreased by 16.9%p. Environmental preferences for walking were more than moderate in neighborhood public open spaces, neighborhood streets, and riverside trails. Walking practice by purposes decreased significantly during COVID-19, especially in utilitarian walking. The study suggests that social distancing measures have a visible negative effect on walking practice among urban residents, as well as an invisible effect on perceived environment and choice of transportation mode in the metropolitan city. To break the physical inactivity habits established during COVID-19, guidelines for promoting walking should be developed, focusing on the frequency of walking practice. In the post-COVID-19 era, urban and transportation planning in metropolitan cities need to be reviewed focusing on the development of neighborhood assets related to walking and activation of active transportation.

Published: November 2021

La situación provocada por el COVID-19 ha condicionado las formas, recursos y estrategias para el fomento del aprendizaje. La suspensión de la actividad presencial en todos los centros y niveles de enseñanza supuso un reto para el profesorado y alumnado, especialmente a la hora de adecuar la respuesta del alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales (NEE). El presente estudio de revisión sistemática analiza el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) y la respuesta educativa de profesores al alumnado con NEE durante la situación de pandemia. Tras consultar la base de datos Scopus, se encontraron un total de 896 resultados de los que, tras una lectura reflexiva, se seleccionaron y analizaron 22 artículos por su vinculación directa con el tema de estudio. Los resultados confirman por un lado que las TIC son una herramienta esencial e imprescindible para responder a las necesidades formativas del alumnado con NEE, y concluyen que se hace necesaria la mejora competencial del profesorado y alumnado en el uso de las TIC. Además, el apoyo de las familias es un elemento fundamental en la mejora de la educación de sus hijos/as y para la consolidación de la metodología e-learning como recurso válido en el proceso educativo de este alumnado.

El presente artículo hace parte de los resultados de la investigación. “La biomotricidad en grado preescolar: propuesta pedagógica y didáctica desde la educación física” Este proceso investigativo inicia en el Colegio Carlos Albán Holguín (IED) en el año 2019 en la jornada de la tarde y finaliza a mediados del año 2021. Como objetivo general se pretende estructurar una propuesta didáctica desde la educación física en grado preescolar basada en la pedagogía de la biomotricidad, la cual sirva como guía o referente a los maestros de educación física en sus procesos de planeación, ejecución y redimensión de las prácticas de enseñanza en grado preescolar. La investigación se aborda desde un enfoque cualitativo, en el cual se utiliza un diseño metodológico basado en la investigación- acción -reflexión como una oportunidad para retroalimentar la estructura teórica a medida que se evalúan las cuatro unidades didácticas propuestas. En este sentido, se utilizan como técnicas para recoger la información, las matrices de valoración, el diario de campo en vídeo y las pruebas de imágenes. La unidad de análisis corresponde a 108 niños de grado jardín y transición. Como resultado final se evidencia que el movimiento puede ser una herramienta para generar avances a nivel cognitivo en los estudiantes de jardín y transición. Por otro lado, se caracterizan algunos principios pedagógicos a seguir en el trabajo con movimiento en estas edades y por último se consolidan 4 unidades didácticas desde el movimiento que correlacionan los aspectos prácticos o vivenciales con los elementos propuestos desde la planeación.

Este artigo tem como objetivo observar como as crianças manifestam  desigualdades de gênero em relação a determinados brinquedos e jogos. A questão em questão é estudar como os professores reagem a esse ponto de vista. Visa abordar essa questão por meio de um breve relato sobre a definição de gênero, o brincar na educação infantil, como as construções de gênero fazem sentido e como essa relação interfere na identidade de gênero. Para obter esta análise, foi realizado um estudo bibliográfico para fundamentar a teoria, conta principalmente com: Eliot, (2013), Aaud, (2017), Belotti, (1987), entre outros defendendo a importância da igualdade de gênero na infância e no ensino e aprendizagem.
