The Gifted and talented students who have a superior potential compared to their peers need a differentiated curriculum. It is considered that the talent domain, potential of intelligence, interest, and development status of the gifted and talented students should be determined, and the curriculum which is to be applied should be differentiated. In this respect, the purpose of the study is to differentiate the social studies curriculum of 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grades in line with the characteristics, academic, cognitive, and affective expectations of gifted and talented students. In the study, the social studies curriculum is differentiated with the integrated curriculum differentiation method. The document review method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the data collection process of the study. The content analysis method was used when analyzing the data. A differentiation strategy was determined for the whole class level and for each learning domain separately in accordance with the general characteristics of gifted and talented students, The determined differentiation strategy is composed of affective domain and value objectives, along with thinking, study, and creativity skills. Based on differentiation strategies, cognitive domain, affective domain, value, and skill objectives were determined. Enrichment and reduction practices were made by retaining the present achievements in the curriculum. In the curriculum, in which 68 achievements were differentiated in total, students' creativity, innovation, study and thinking skills, and awareness for national components and social values were prioritized. Social studies curriculum in line with the integrated curriculum model is thought to be an original and framework model for teaching social studies to gifted and talented students.
A Rose by Any Other Name: Problems in Defining and Conceptualising Serial Murder with a New Proposed Definition
Authors: Petherick Wayne , Bose Shuktika , McKinley Amber , Skrapec Candice
Published: June 2021

The prevalence of serial murder is low; however, it has been the focus of much academic and popular attention. Despite a considerable research base on serial murder, there is still debate as to how it should be defined. This article examines often used definitions of serial murder, followed by a critique of some of the main components of these definitions. From this, a definition is advanced with rationales for the inclusion of the characteristics in the proposed definition. This analysis provides for some clarity in the identification of serial murder and those aspects of the crime used to define it.
Abandoning questionnaires
Authors: Mann Anna
Published: June 2021

Care-concepts have proliferated over the past couple of years, and have been used tostudy all kinds of practices, situations and sites. This begs the question: What is gained bystudying practices in terms of care? The paper addresses this question by using a specificcare-approach, which is the study of daily life dealings (Mol et al., 2010). It mobilises thisapproach to investigate a particular object, namely a good provision of haemodialysistreatment in nephrology practice. It does so in a given place, a dialysis unit in Austria.Based on ethnographic fieldwork with a focus on how patients' quality of life was improved,the paper reports how, in this dialysis unit, a quality of life questionnaire was introducedbut soon abandoned. It first analyses how the prominent ideal that quality of life is to bemeasured with a questionnaire arrived in the goings-on in the unit. It then teases out howconnecting and disconnecting patients to dialysis machines, and seeing them during thedaily round enacted knowing, improving and quality of life in other ways than the prominentpractice. It argues that questionnaires, forms, protocols, and the prominent practice theyare part of may not only be made to fit into daily clinical practices or that daily life dealingsare other to prominent practices. Daily clinical practices may also be the basis upon whichquestionnaires, forms, protocols, and the prominent practice they are part of are evaluated,abandoned, and forgotten. Recommending further investigation into the conditions ofpossibilities for alternative enactments of a good provision of health care to thrive, thepaper concludes that what has been gained by using this specific care-approach to studythis particular object are insights into daily life practices that have so far been othered innephrology practice and STS.
Influencia de las variaciones climáticas en la producción de sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.)
Authors: Núñez-Rodríguez José de Jesús , Carvajal-Rodríguez Julio César , Ramírez-Novoa Luisa Lorena
Published: June 2021

La producción de sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) en los países tropicales de América del Sur ha experimentado un rápido aumento por la alta calidad y aportes nutricionales del aceite en sus componentes Omegas 3, 6 y 9. Su potencial para el desarrollo de nuevos emprendimientos está llevando a numerosos agricultores a convertirse en sachicultores, reemplazando cultivos tradicionales y, en otros casos, siendo una alternativa para la sustitución de cultivos ilícitos. Al revisar la literatura disponible sobre sacha inchi se evidencia que la mayor cantidad de investigaciones realizadas sobre esta especie promisoria ha estado enfocada en el aceite y sus derivados, con una escasa atención sobre los procesos agronómicos, en los cuales se aplican modelos de transferencia tecnológica predeterminados y no adaptados a las condiciones medioambientales, culturales y económicas particulares de las zonas de producción. En este artículo se presenta una revisión de artículos e informes técnicos publicados en Google Académico y Scopus relacionados con la influencia de las variaciones climáticas en la producción de sacha inchi, abarcando las fases de germinación, crecimiento, floración y reproducción, presencia de plagas y enfermedades, cosecha, postcosecha y extracción del aceite. Se pretende poner a disposición de los lectores una mirada actualizada de las implicaciones que los aumentos o disminuciones de las temperaturas y precipitaciones tienen sobre el cultivo de sacha inchi, las cuales constituyen áreas de conocimiento poco exploradas en esta especie oleaginosa promisoria.
The effect of patient’s age on the outcomes of Salter pelvic osteotomy
Authors: INCI Fatih , BULUT Guven , GÜMÜSTAS Seyit Ali
Published: May 2021

Objective: We hypothesized that as the patient’s age increases, the outcomes of Salter pelvic osteotomy (SPO) get worse. This study
aims to compare the results of surgery in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with at which age SPO is performed.
Patients and Materials: Forthy six hips of 36 patients with at least 1 year of regular radiological and clinical follow-up were included
in this study. The patients were retrospectively divided into three groups, group I for ages between 18 months and 4 years, group II
for ages between 4 and 6 years, and group III for ages over 6 years. The clinical and radiological results of the patients were compared
between groups.
Results: At the time of surgery, the mean age of patients was 4.51 years (18 months-11 years). After a mean follow-up of 72.7 months;
although there was no statistically significant difference between groups according to Severin’s radiological criteria, it was observed
that the success of the clinical outcome decreased and the avascular necrosis (AVN) rates increased in children who were operated
after the age of 6 years.
Conclusions: Although, SPO was an effective treatment option for patients with DDH after the age of walking, it might cause a
decrease in the success of clinical outcomes and an increase in AVN after 6 years of age.

ON THE EXTREMAL CURVATURE AND TORSION OF STEREOGRAPHICALLY PROJECTED ANALYTIC CURVES
Authors: ZEMYAN STEPHEN M.
Published: May 2021

In this paper, we first derive formulas for the curvature and torsion of curves on $S^2$ produced by stereographically projecting the image curves of analytic, univalent functions belonging to the class $\mathcal S$. We are concerned here with the problems of determining the extreme values of the curvatures and torsions, as well as the functions belonging to $\mathcal S$ which attain these extreme values. An analysis of the asymptotic behavior of these curvature and torsion formulas will allow for the formulation of plausible conjectures.
ALFVEN SURFACE WAVES ALONG ANNULAR GAS JET SURROUNDING TAR COLUMN UNDER OBLIQUE VARYING MAGNETIC FIELD
Authors: RADWAN AHMED E.
Published: May 2021

The MFD oscillating Alfven surface waves along a perfectly conducting annular gas jct surrounding a tar column under oblique varying magnetic field has been discussed. Numerous reported works could be recovered as limiting cases. The axial magnetic fields interior and exterior the model are stabilizing while the tenuous azimuthal field is so or not according to restrictions. The thicker the tar column the larger its stabilizing influence; and the oscillation states arc slowed down so easier observations are allowed than in the classical case of full fluid jet in vacuum with constant magnetic fields (Uberio and Somasundaram 1980). The Alfven wave velocity is decreasing with increasing azimuthal-longitudinal magnetic fields intensities ratio. The phase (dispersive) velocity of the wave propagation relative to Alfven wave velocity is monotonic increasing with decreasing the perturbed wavelength.

Authors: Gonçalves Júnior Jucier , Brandão Sarah Cavalcante , Silva Sandra Barreto Fernandes , Sá Emmanuela Quental Callou de
Published: May 2021

Problem: The new National Curriculum Guidelines of Undergraduate Medicine in Brazil propose that academics have contact with the health system and its users at an early stage. However, practical activities in undergraduate courses proved to be insufficient for the adequate development of this new perspective. Consequently, the experiences of university extension have the proposal to fill in this gap. Method: This article aimed to report the experiences of the scholarship holders of the Extension Project in Family and Community Medicine - ProMFC (Projeto de Extensão em Medicina de Família e Comunidade) under the More Doctors for Brazil Program – PMMB (Programa Mais Médicos para o Brasil). This is a qualitative, experience-type study with lexical and content analysis from the software IRaMutTeQ, version 0.7 alpha 2, to establish an association between the terms used in the discourse of the ProMFC. Results: The opportunity to immerse in environments in which students can learn about the problems and share the daily life of the assisted community was highlighted. The exchange of knowledge and experiences among students, physicians working in Primary Health Care (fellows of the PMMB, supervisors and tutors) and local managers was also relevant, as well as the students’ ability to develop/train skills, such as teamwork, assertive communication, and health planning. Conclusion: The PMMB, tutored and integrated into an extension project, the ProMFC, is an alternative that, although embryonic, has many potentialities, as it allows the extensionists to be early inserted into the Attention Primary Health Care.

Published: May 2021

O entendimento do processo saúde-doença muda com o tempo histórico, tendo seguido uma tendência a cada vez mais patologizar fenômenos antes tidos como naturais, abrindo caminho para um cenário de valorização de excessos. Diante disso e da importância de proteger as pessoas dos possíveis danos causados pelas intervenções médicas, surgiu a prevenção quaternária (P4), que versa sobre uma medicina menos iatrogênica, evitando sobrediagnóstico, sobremedicalização e intervenções desnecessárias. Contudo, na prática clínica, médicos encontram diversos entraves para a sua aplicação, sendo comum não utilizá-la, mesmo se tendo consciência de sua importância. Dentre essas barreiras, destacam-se a dificuldade de negar uma demanda ao paciente e de lidar com situações de discordância, a pouca destreza argumentativa, e o medo de deixar de fazer um diagnóstico ou de perder a confiança da relação. O presente ensaio discute técnicas de habilidades de comunicação, à luz da medicina centrada na pessoa, com o objetivo de auxiliar médicos e médicas diante dessas dificuldades. Partindo de situações cotidianas, foram buscadas respostas em referências científicas, como livros, artigos e manuais. Algumas dessas técnicas apresentadas são: como negar uma demanda, entender o desejo pessoal por uma intervenção médica, lidar com a divergência de ideias, explorar a experiência da não-concordância, desprescrever medicações e compartilhar as decisões. Espera-se que, a partir desta leitura, os profissionais se sintam mais preparados e motivados para nadar contra a corrente hegemônica das intervenções médicas desnecessárias, contribuindo para que a medicina avance no sentido de promover o melhor cuidado possível às pessoas, sobretudo, primeiro não lhes causando mal.
Associação entre a abordagem médica centrada na pessoa e a satisfação com a consulta em atenção primária à saúde
Authors: Castro Rodrigo Caprio Leite de , Knauth Daniela Riva
Published: May 2021

Introdução: A aplicação do método clínico centrado na pessoa (MCCP) busca alcançar a compreensão da pessoa e da sua doença por meio da abordagem de  duas perspectivas: a do médico e a da pessoa. A satisfação dos usuários é considerada um importante indicador de avaliação dos serviços. Objetivo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar se há associação entre o grau de orientação ao MCCP, segundo a percepção da pessoa, e a satisfação com a última consulta médica em um serviço de atenção primária à saúde (APS). Metodologia: Trata-se de  estudo transversal, realizado com pessoas com hipertensão e/ou diabetes nas  12 unidades de um serviço de APS, em Porto Alegre, RS (n = 408). O grau de orientação ao MCCP foi medido pelo instrumento “Percepção do Paciente sobre o Centramento da Consulta” (PPCC). Resultados: O baixo escore geral do PPCC (o que corresponde à alta orientação ao MCCP) esteve associado significativamente com a maior satisfação das pessoas com aspectos relacionados ao serviço (forma de agendamento e cordialidade da recepção) e ao atendimento médico (atenção dada às queixas pelo médico, exame físico do médico, explicações sobre problema e explicações sobre prognóstico), com a consulta em geral e com o tratamento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica e/ou do diabetes mellitus na unidade de saúde. Discussão: O médico de APS deve ser mais orientado à pessoa para que possa atingir, portanto, níveis mais altos de satisfação. Nessa perspectiva, a incorporação da satisfação dos usuários na avaliação dos serviços de saúde deve se constituir em indicador de qualidade, sobretudo, da abordagem praticada pelo médico.

Context: Given its cerebral amyloid angiopathy, subarachnoid hemorrhage might represent transient focal neurological episodes erroneously diagnosed as transient ischemic attacks. The earliest neuroimaging findings in emergency room brain computed tomography indicating subarachnoid hemorrhage in these patients might be very subtle and missed by the clinician. Case Presentation: An 80-year-old man referred with transient focal neurological episodes, suggestive of transient ischemic attacks. In general, except for some cognitive dysfunctions, no remarkable point was noticed in his neurological examination. Non-enhanced brain-computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed evidence indicating slight convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage at the left frontal cortical region. Conclusions: The transient focal neurological episodes uncommonly represent intracranial hemorrhage. Nevertheless, this clinical representation might occur in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. In such cases, the neuroimaging findings play a major role in the differential diagnosis. The misdiagnosis of transient ischemic attacks in these cases might lead to the consumption of antiplatelet drugs and end in catastrophic hemorrhage and life-threatening complications. Close attention to patients' clinical findings and judicious use of further neuroimaging studies would help clinicians to avoid making such mistakes.

Though often called a “heaven on Earth” New Zealand suffers from a serious problem with gangs. Ethnic gangs have dominated the New Zealand gang scene since the 70s when many Maoris left traditional rural areas and migrated in search of work to the cities but ended up in poverty because of lack of skills and poorly-paid jobs. Maori urbanization and the dual pressures of acculturation and discrimination resulted in a breakdown of the traditional Maori social structures and alienated many from their culture. Maoris who have been unable to maintain their ethnic and cultural identity through their genealogical ties and involvement in Maori culture attempt to find it elsewhere. For many of those that have lost contact with their cultural and ethnic links gangs have replaced families and community and provides individuals with a sense of belonging and safety. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the role of gangs in Maori ethnic and cultural identity development. This paper demonstrates the impact of gang environment on individual identity development and provides evidence that cultural engagement initiatives can enhance Maori identities, which in turn could increase psychological and socio-economic wellbeing.

Defective autophagy is strongly associated with chronic inflammation. Loss-of-function of the core autophagy gene Atg16l1 increases risk for Crohn’s disease in part by enhancing innate immunity through myeloid cells such as macrophages. However, autophagy is also recognized as a mechanism for clearance of certain intracellular pathogens. These divergent observations prompted a re-evaluation of ATG16L1 in innate antimicrobial immunity. In this study, we found that loss of Atg16l1 in myeloid cells enhanced the killing of virulent Shigella flexneri (S.flexneri), a clinically relevant enteric bacterium that resides within the cytosol by escaping from membrane-bound compartments. Quantitative multiplexed proteomics of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages revealed that ATG16L1 deficiency significantly upregulated proteins involved in the glutathione-mediated antioxidant response to compensate for elevated oxidative stress, which simultaneously promoted S.flexneri killing. Consistent with this, myeloid-specific deletion of Atg16l1 in mice accelerated bacterial clearance in vitro and in vivo. Pharmacological induction of oxidative stress through suppression of cysteine import enhanced microbial clearance by macrophages. Conversely, antioxidant treatment of macrophages permitted S.flexneri proliferation. These findings demonstrate that control of oxidative stress by ATG16L1 and autophagy regulates antimicrobial immunity against intracellular pathogens.

When studying the dynamics of morbidity and mortality, one should not limit ourselves to analyzing general trends. Interesting information can be obtained from the analysis of deviations in morbidity and mortality from the general dynamics. Comparison of the cases of morbidity or death for adjacent time intervals allows us to find out whether the changes in conditions were for short periods of time and whether the cases of morbidity or death were independent. The article consists of two parts: Study of the probability distribution (CDF) of the difference between two independent observations of the Poisson distribution; Application of the results to analyze the morbidity and mortality trends by day for the new coronavirus infection. For the distribution function of the module of difference between two independent observations of the Poisson distribution, an analytical expression has been obtained that allows to get an exact solution. A program has been created, whose software can be downloaded at http://1mgmu.com/nau/DeltaPoisson/DeltaPoisson.zip. An approximate solution that does not require complex calculations has also been obtained, which can be used for an average of more than 20. If real difference is greater than expected, it may be in the following cases: morbidity or mortality varies considerably during the day. That could happen, for example, if the registered number of morbidity on Saturday and Sunday is less than on weekdays due to the management model of the health system, or if the cases are not independent; for example, due to the active identification of infected people among those who have come into contact with the patient. If the difference is less than expected, it may be due to external limiting factors, such as a shortage of test systems for making a diagnosis, a limited number of pathologists to determine the cause of death, and so on. In the analysis of the actual data for COVID-19 it was found that for Poland and Russia, excluding Moscow, the difference in the number of cases and deaths is greater than expected, while for Moscow—less than expected. This may be due to the information policy—the effort to somehow reassure Moscow’s population, which in the spring of 2020 had a high incidence rate of the new coronavirus infection.

The study has been conducted in Ratlam, Mandsaur and Neemuch districts in Malwa Plateau location of Madhya Pradesh. The researcher has been selected Tulsi crop on the premise of most regions included by it. From the selected districts, 6 blocks 30 villages (and forty five pattern farmers were decided on randomly for detail investigation. For estimation value and returns, fee ideas Cost Concepts and B.C. Ratio had been considered. The cost of cultivation becomes estimated to be Rs. 40811.31, Rs. 21892.Eleven and Rs. 34445.04 for Tulsi, Soybean and Maize respectively. Regarding fee of manufacturing, it became Rs. 4739, Rs. 1360 and Rs. 956 beneath Tulsi, Soybean and Maize crop respectively. The statistics discovered that the net income turned into expected to be Rs. 40720, Rs. 21325 and Rs. 14963 for Tulsi, soybean and Maize crop respectively. It clear cut indicates that 37 to fifty two percentage greater profits benefit from Tulsi crop than the soybean and maize crop by way of the sample farmers. As a ways as the B.C. Ratio became worried it was envisioned to be 1:1.99, 1:1.97 and 1:1.43 for Tulsi, soybean, and maize crop respectively, which shows that the Tulsi crop changed into greater profitable than their competitive plants.

Introduction: The skin is a barrier that limits invasion and growth of pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial species in patients with skin infection and their antibiogram were evaluated for the presence of inhabiting bacteria.

Method: The sample obtained with swab sticks were streaked on their respective culture plates containing nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and blood agar, incubated 370 for 24h. The recovered bacteria after incubation were characterized and identified according to standard microbiological criteria.

Results: Five bacteria species were isolated which includes Staphylococus aureus; Escherichia coli, Klebsiella specie, Proteus sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Staphylococus aureus (33.03%) had the highest percentage occurrence while Proteus Sp (9.17%) had the lowest percentage occurrence. The highest number of isolates were recovered from male patients (61.47%). Age wise the least percentage of isolates were gotten from age group 31-40 (1.83%) while the highest was obtained from those within the age range of 11-20 (40.37%) followed by 1-10 years of age (25.69%). More isolates were recovered from in-patients (68.81%) than from Out-patients (31.19%). The antibiotic sensitivity test showed that Klebsiella sp, Proteus spp and Staphylococcus aureus were sensitivity to all the antibiotics tested while pseudomonas aeruginosa had 30% activity (sensitivity to only 3 drugs) for the antibiotics used in this study.

Conclusion: From this study, it can be said that Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp, Proteus sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are implicated in the skin infections in humans and their presence if not treated will lead to long term disease in human affected.
