Published: December 2020

A Comunicação é imprescindível em qualquer contexto da vida humana, ocupando papel estratégico nas organizações devido à influência que exerce nas relações trabalhistas e nas condições do ambiente de trabalho. A incapacidade de se comunicar bem, especificamente dentro das Organizações Públicas (OP), gera diversos problemas organizacionais como dificuldades de relacionamento interpessoal no trabalho, violência verbal, clima organizacional deteriorado, problemas de saúde etc., além de impactar na qualidade dos resultados finais dos serviços. Neste contexto, o presente estudo visa avaliar a importância da Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV) na mitigação de tais problemas e na construção de um ambiente de trabalho mais colaborativo, saudável e harmônico nas OPs. Para elaboração do estudo, fez-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura existente sobre o assunto. O uso da CNV, ferramenta desenvolvida com o intuito de melhorar as relações interpessoais, torna-se uma tática na busca pela redução de algumas características negativas presentes no serviço público, como ambientes autoritários, excessivamente burocráticos e centralizados. Diante do exposto na literatura, conclui-se que o uso da CNV nas OP pode contribuir para a melhoria do clima organizacional, da qualidade de vida dos servidores e dos serviços entregues à sociedade.

Optimism and pessimism are two major terms used to reflect the attitude of a writer in his work which also deeply affect his readers. On the basis of the above approaches, these are called either optimistic or pessimistic approach. In this article approach and behavior of famous writer Jibran Khalil Jibran in his Arabic Books is thoroughly examined regarding optimism and pessimism that whether his approach inclines towards positivity to be called optimistic or it tends towards bleakness to be called pessimistic .It is observed that Jibran Khalil Jibran utilized the both methods in his Arabic books very skillfully according to the situation like other varieties of writing. However generally his approach is optimistic and he brings the brighter side of the situation to encourage and make his reader positive and energetic to stay and fight against odd stuff that he faces and does not cease resistance and never give up in life.

This study aims to explore the contributions and efforts made by one of the most prominent intellectuals and theologians of the Indian subcontinent, Imam Shah Waliullah Dehlawi through his annotated Persian translation of the holy Qur’an called ‘Fathurrehman bi Tarjamatil Qur’an’. By developing a sound approach in this translation, the Imam has set the principles for Qur’anic translations, despite the difficulties and obstacles, he achieved his objectives. He opted to choose a unique method of combining verbal translation with literal translation in a creative manner. He also authored a booklet on Qur’anic translation in Persian language called ‘Muqaddima fi Qawaneen e Tarjamah’ in which he introduced rules and regulation regarding Qur’anic commentary. Deriving conclusions being: that the Imam Al Dehlavi was the first to develop the principles of the Qur’anic translation by writing two valuable books in the Persian language, in one of them he dealt with the principles of authoring the Qur’anic translation and its regulations. And the other one is Qur’anic translation, in which he implemented that principles. The Imam’s distinction in this field was his commitment in dealing with the meanings of the holy Qur’an, as well as the extreme accuracy in transmitting its accurate meaning into the Persian language.

The Noble Qur’an is the primary source of Islamic Shariah and is the origin of the principles for Islamic legislation, rulings, and secrets. This research tends to examine the principles of inference in the field of interpretation as highlighted by Imam Ibn Ashur in his exegesis renowned “al-Tahrīr wa al-Tanvīr [Liberation and Enlighten].” Indeed, this exegesis is unique in reflecting on principles of inference and hence named as “Tahrīr al-Ma’na al-Sadīd wa Tanvīr al-Aqal al-Jadīd” [Liberation of Correct Meaning and Enlighten of the Logic]. Therefore, authors intended to delineate an in-depth study on the topic in the light of exegesis “al-Tahrīr wa al-Tanvīr.” The study comprises of two sections. The first section discusses the opinion of Ibn Ashur regarding the comprehension of the principles of inference in his egesis. The second section highlights the inference from legal rulings as examined by Imam Ibn Ashur. The researcher employed qualitative analytical methodology to explore relevant data and finally present conclusion of the study.

Genetics is the study of heredity principles and their relative mechanisms or the process of traits are transferred from parents to next generations. Biotechnologists can help the families to solves their problems by means of assisted reproduction and allied technologies offering new horizons of understanding the kinship. Also suggest the possible strategies to manage the inherited incidences related to kinship. As for fruitful productivity of genetic engineering, religion should be intrinsically compatible. Biotechnology attempts to explain the reality and basic principles of human inheritance by means of DNA sequences. Describing the Islamic worldview on counselling the importance of inheritance is a comprehensive approach to familiarise the ummah. For this, genetics could be a holistic and universal tool to begin with. In this paper, the principle sources of Islamic Shariah law are al-Quran and Sunnah along with other Islamic principles such as ijmaa with Qawaid Fiqhiyyah and Maqasid al-Shariah will also be applied to frame the scope of genetics in Islamic ethical guidelines. Such guidelines could be used to brief the many segments of society such as students, general public, biologists, law enforcement agencies and regulating stakeholders. These guidelines will deliver a comprehensive, practical and applicable view on Islamic law while welcoming the latest discoveries of genetic engineering and advanced biotechnology. In conclusion, genetics with Islamic ethics is the most appropriate platform to brief and guide the society on the adequacy of current genetics and modern biotechnology development, while focusing on the science of genetics and applying it to our lives with an Islamic perspective.

Hafiz Ibne Kathir (R.A….) was a scholar of the 8th century of Hijra. He had command over many sciences of the Islamic studies, like:Quran, Hadith, fiqh, Seerat and history. He was a prolific writer and left a number of books which are used in the Islamic world as reference books. He wrote an exegsis of the Holy Quran and named it; Tafseer-ul-Quran el Azeem (commonly known as Tafseer Ibne Kathir) One of his books; Al-Fusul Fi Ekhtisare Seerat Al-Rasool is one of his book about the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The book is spread over four hundred pages. The writer divided it into two sections. The first part contains discussions on the Seerat of the Holy Prophet (SAW) and the battles which he fought for the sake of Islam commonly known as Maghazi. The second part contains discussion on the lifestyle, habits and the reasons of the Prophethood. The unique style of Ibne Kathir, in this book is that the writer extracts jurisprudential aspect from the life of the Holy Prophet (SAW). The writer explains all these with the help of the Holy Quran and the authentic sources of Seerat. The writer has tried his level best to bring only authentic narrations. If the views of scholars are different about the date and location of any event, Ibne kathir himself do research and tried to prove certain facts in the light of logic. And many scholars admit his logic follow it. A few of the narrations coated by Ibne kathir are weak in a sense but they are very short in counting. Because of this style, many scholars have coated Ibne kathir in the field of Seerat. This research paper discusses the unique and scholarly style of Ibne kathir and also discusses the methodology of Ibne kathir adopted by him in his book.

Globalization has brought huge changes in every section of life, including education. The international relations have been impacted on by globalization as well. The students, scholars and researchers, these days, are regarded as actors in diplomacy. Education diplomacy is considered as an important tool in the conduct of international relations worldwide. The public diplomacy through provision of education opportunities, known as soft power tool, has emerged as a new trend by which countries extend their national interests and attempt to shape the preferences of others and affecting their behaviour in one’s favour. International Education has proved to be a major contributor to soft power goals and has emerged as an important part of public diplomacy that has created many advantages. The countries anticipate, by means of education diplomacy, the promotion of nation’s policy priorities and interests and subsequently, to contribute to country’s economic development and investment. The present study aims to explore the soft power goals of the Southeast Asian Countries. It further explores the goals that are achieved by the countries through implementation of public diplomacy in education.
A MULTIBANK MEMORY-BASED VLSI ARCHITECTURE OF DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING SYMBOL DEINTERLEAVER
Authors: BABU D.HARI , DEVI B.NEELIMA
Published: December 2020

In this paper, an efficient symbol-deinterleaver architecture compliant with the digital-video-broadcasting (DVB) standard is proposed. By partitioning the entire symbol buffer into four separate parts with a special low-conflict access control strategy, the symbol deinterleaver can be implemented with four-bank single-port on-chip memory blocks with slight overhead. The experimental result shows that 30% savings of hard-ware cost can be achieved compared with the conventional double-buffer approach. In addition, a lookahead online circuit of a symbol permuta-tion-address generator is also proposed, which can provide the required permutation addresses every cycle to avoid either the use of a lookup table or an extra temporary buffer. Being the major part of the entire DVB forward-error-correction decoder, the proposed symbol deinterleaver can contribute a great saving of the overall decoder cost.

Lower Limb Soft Tissue Trauma Cases
Authors: Garg Richa
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac in reducing swelling and pain following soft tissue injury. This study included 100 patients with soft tissue injury to upper limb, lower
limb or both. They were randomly divided into two groups of 50 each to receive serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac. Evaluation of efficacy was made using tape measurement (for swelling), and visual analogue scale (for pain) on day 0, week 1and week 2. Serratiopeptidase showed significant anti-inflammatory effect and mild analgesic effect. None of the patient was required to be put on another analgesic or any alteration in treatment. Aceclofenac showed superior analgesic effect as compared to serratiopeptidase. Mild to moderate adverse effects were reported. The most common adverse effect reported was dyspepsia. All were mild and did not require any alteration or discontinuation of treatment.

Consumers demand more from their technology. Whether it be a television, cellular phone, or refrigerator, the latest technology purchase must have new features. With the advent of the Internet, the most-wanted feature is better, faster access to information. Cellular subscribers pay extra on top of their basic bills for such features as instant messaging, stock quotes, and even Internet access right on their phones. But that is far from the limit of features; manufacturers entice customers to buy new phones with photo and even video capability. It is no longer a quantum leap to envision a time when
access to all necessary information — the power of a personal computer sits in the palm of one’s hand. To support such a powerful system, we need pervasive, high-speed wireless connectivity.
A number of technologies currently exist to provide users with high-speed digital wireless connectivity; Bluetooth and 802.11 are examples. These two standards provide very high-speed network connections over short distances, typically in the tens of meters. Meanwhile, cellular providers seek to increase speed on their long range wireless networks. The goal is the same: long-range, high speed wireless, which for the purposes of this report will be called 4G, for fourth-generation wireless system. Such a system does not yet exist, nor will it exist in today’s market without standardization.
Fourth-generation wireless needs to be standardized throughout the United States due to its enticing advantages to both users and providers.

Rogue Access Points (RAPs) is one of the leading security threats in current network scenario, if not properly handled in time could lead from minor network faults to serious network failure. Most of the current solutions to detect rogue access points are not
automated and are dependent on a specific wireless technology. In this paper we propose the integrated solution for detection and eliminate the rogue access points.
Rogue detection algorithm is also proposed. This Methodology has the following properties: (1) it doesn’t require any specialized hardware; (2) the proposed algorithm detects and completely eliminates the RAPs from network; Our proposed solution is effective and low cost.
Attacks in Wireless Networks
Authors: Kanawat Sachin Dev , Parihar Pankaj Singh
Published: December 2020

Communications in wireless networks has been facilitating numerous emerging applications that require packet delivery from one or more senders to multiple receivers.
Communications are susceptible to various kinds of attacks due to insecure wireless channels. Communications in wireless networks remains a challenging and critical issue. This paper presents recent advances in security requirements and services
in communications in wireless networks. Wireless networks are being used in many commercial and military applications to collect event driven and real time data. Deployment nature of networks makes them vulnerable to security threats. Due to the resource limitations traditional security measures are not more enough to keep safe the nodes. Research in network security domains has produced several security solutions. In this paper we have observed security mechanisms. We have studied these security mechanisms with respect to packet overheads and compared the packet transmission time, average latency and energy consumption. The comparison shows that the packet overheads are lesser as compared to other schemes. It have been observed that packet delivery ratio decreases when we increase number of nodes while energy and latency increases.
Efficient Rule Set Generation using Rough Set Theory for Classification of High Dimensional Data

Published: December 2020

In this paper, a rough set theory (RST) based approach is proposed to mine concise rules from inconsistent data. The approach deals with inconsistent data. At first, it computes the lower and upper approximation for each concept, then adopts a learning from an algorithm to build concise classification rules for each concept satisfying the given classification accuracy. Lower and upper approximation estimation is designed for the implementation, which substantially reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm. UCI ML Repository datasets are used to test and validate the proposed approach. We have also used our approach on network intrusion dataset captured using our local network from network flow. The results show that our approach produces
effective and minimal rules and provide satisfactory accuracy over several real life datasets.
Experimental Analysis on Safety System of a Simulated Small Scale Pressurized Water Reactor System with Intelligent Control
Authors: Islam Md. Shakerul , Hossain Altab , Murshed Khalid , Chowdhury Rafi Alam
Published: December 2020

Reactors are widely used in the nuclear power plant due to the rapid demand for electricity by reducing the greenhouse effect. However, the effectiveness of the nuclear reactor depends on an adequate safety system. Hence, temperature and heat transfer are two critical parameters for any reactor in operation for which intelligent temperature control with an integrated safety system is essential. Therefore, the present study has emphasized the development of a simulated small-scale water-based reactor with intelligent control and safety system and examined through the analysis of thermal-hydraulic parameters. Radial heat transfer of an electric rod used as fuel in the primary circuit has been analyzed by taking sensor reading in various positions of the core. The developed system is self-controlled with all possible active and passive safety systems. Consecutively, the prototype has also been designed including manual adjustment to ensure a fail-safe environment. The system is capable to operate at temperatures between 80°C and 120°C, although the design can withstand up to 200°C. The data of the experiment are taken under the pressure of 200 kPa at 120°C temperature. Results show that heat output of 2116.09 kJ has been obtained from the system against heat input of 2514.80 kJ, which gives an efficiency around 16% of the developed system.
Information-making-related information needs and the credibility of information
Authors:   Department of ALM (Archival Studies, Library and Information Science and Museums and Cultural Heritage Studies),Uppsala University, Sweden, Huvila Isto
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Even if trust in the process of how information is made has been acknowledged as a key aspect of the credibility of information, there is little earlier research on how and if people use or want information on information making when doing credibility assessments. Method. Swedish archaeology administrators were interviewed (n=10). Analysis. Interview transcripts were analysed using close reading and an approach based on the constant comparative method. Information needs relating to work processes, methods and technologies, context and situation and non-needs (i.e. lack of need) of information on information making were identified similarly to two types of reputational and four types of non-reputational cues of how information was made. Results. Experienced information needs about information making and preferences for reputational and non-reputational cues in credibility assessments were related to individuals’ epistemic distance to the context where information making took place, and if the interviewees positioned themselves as insiders or outsiders in that particular context. Conclusion. To understand the dynamics and interaction of credibility criteria, it can be useful to look at how and what they are used to justify and what are people’s underpinning epistemic beliefs, instead of merely pointing to the differences in beliefs and enumerating situation-specific credibility criteria. People’s flexibility in switching between reputational and non-reputational cues, and positioning themselves as insiders and outsiders, could be seen as an opportunity rather than as a sign of their inferior informational competences.

Introduction. There is a substantial amount of research on refugees and integration. Also in library and information science there are studies focusing on refugees. However, this research knowledge doesn’t easily transfer between disciplines. This paper is a scoping literature review on main perspectives studied within integration research. The aim is to explore how the information perspective is represented and if there is a need for bringing the information perspective more actively into the integration research discourse. Method.Review articles were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection indexes using Boolean search strings. Analysis. (1) The retrieved review articles were categorised into the research areas with content description through keywords. (2) Thematic analysis of the review articles with information related perspectives was conducted. Results. The analysis showed that most integration related research is done within public environmental and occupational health. In library and information science there is relevant theory development and important research on information literacy and other information related phenomena. Conclusion. It is important to bring information literacy to the common integration frameworks as a (meta)facilitator of integration. Better communication is needed across the disciplines to guarantee the contribution of research results to successful integration.

Authors:   School of Information, Pratt Institute, New York, NY, USA, Bowler Leanne , Aronofsky Manuela ,   The Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn, New York, NY, USA
Published: December 2020

Introduction. The study presents a preliminary model of teen engagement with data in the context of data literacy activities at the public library. The model contributes to knowledge in the area of human data interaction, specifically as relates to the affective domain, to data literacy, and to the special context of informal learning at the public library. Method. The study takes a critical data literacy stance and is framed by theory about interest and engagement drawn from the field of informal learning. Analysis. Data analysis was inductive and iterative, proceeding through multiple stages. Open coding of feedback forms and the observation notes from twenty-seven data literacy workshops for teens revealed facets of teen engagement with data in the public library. Results. Feedback forms completed by teen participants suggest high interest and engagement with data during the data literacy activities. Themes derived from analysis help to tell the story of youth engagement with data literacy at the public library, including: personal connections to data, embodied learning, interactions with data through facilitation techniques (analogy as one such example), opportunities for inquiry and discovery, social arrangements that encourage interaction, and adopting a playful attitude to learning. Conclusions. Future research in youth data literacy programmes at the public library should further explore the variables of engagement identified in this study.

Introduction. Dependence on social media and other online systems as part of everyday life has grown considerably over the years. At the same time, the complexity and security of online systems has been increasing, making it more challenging for some people to access the services they need. This impacts the information practices of many users, leading to several scenarios where individuals need assistance in information related tasks, from registering for government services to updating social media content. This poster presents a summary of findings from two qualitative studies and serves as the initial foundation for a larger investigation related to digital proxies. Method. Different methods of investigation were used for each of the two studies. Study One used a combination of interviews and focus groups to determine how social media accounts are managed by and for older adults through the use of digital proxies. Study Two considered a series of scenarios in a workshop with information professionals and volunteers offering digital proxy services to older and vulnerable adults. Analysis. A narrative analysis of data was undertaken from each study independently. The results of these were then considered in tandem to determine patterns of information practices between the digital proxy roles in different contexts. Results. This work confirmed that digital proxies assist older and vulnerable adults in the use of social media and other online platforms, and that proxy roles are undertaken by a range of actors including information professionals, care workers, volunteers, and family members. Conclusion. This work provides a foundation in theorising the role of digital proxies from an information science perspective whilst providing a roadmap for future research in this vital area.

Introduction. Digital deception is a double-edged sword used by both blackhats and whitehats in cybersecurity. A status quo review of the reintroduction of digital deception can reveal challenges and initiatives and show how information behaviour expertise might inform cybersecurity research and vice versa. Aim. To use a status quo review of digital deception to reveal links between cybersecurity and information behaviour and to stimulate further research. Method. Critical review of digital deception in cybersecurity regarding whitehats and blackhats using an information behaviour lens. Findings. There is a need for research that tackles digital deception from both information behaviour and cybersecurity. There is also a need to bridge the gap between the two research fields and link cybersecurity concepts with information behaviour theories. Conclusions. The reintroduction of digital deception in cybersecurity highlights the challenges for the unreliability of defence-based detection systems. Although many solutions are available from cybersecurity, information behaviour might contribute to multidisciplinary research on digital deception and the future of defence technologies. Understanding the interplay between whitehats and blackhats in cybersecurity can help information behaviour practitioners to design models or frameworks for predicting changes in information-seeking behaviour.

Introduction. This paper reports on a scoping review of the literature on the information behaviour and information practices of academic librarians to determine how their information activities are linked to knowledge and skills development (i.e., their learning). Method. A scoping study of peer reviewed scholarly papers published in English between 2000 and 2019 was conducted. Over 5600 papers, retrieved from seven scholarly databases, were screened, based on title, keywords and abstract, resulting in 126 papers for analysis. Analysis. Data were extracted to provide an overview of the extent, range and scope of the selected literature. MS Excel and MS Word was used to sort, group and thematically analyse the data. Results. The review provided valuable insight into the information behaviour and information practices of academic librarians. It also identified several information activities librarians engage in to ensure they have sufficient knowledge and skills (i.e., to learn) to cope with challenges in their work environment. Conclusions. The scoping review served as a useful tool to get a notion of the scope of studies on the topic, addressing the research questions, and identifying opportunities for further investigation.

Introduction. This paper reports on part of a larger study, specifically on the information behaviour theories used in foundational reference and information services courses in North America. Method. Content analysis of syllabi, reading lists and textbooks from foundational reference courses was conducted. Analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of documents was conducted to identify specific information behaviour theories. Results. The most mentioned information behaviour theories in reference courses are similar to those most mentioned in studies of information behaviour research, including Kuhlthau’s information search process and Savolainen’s everyday life information seeking. Conclusions. Students in courses that discuss information behaviour theories are being exposed to the most impactful information behaviour theories, but still only two-thirds of courses include them.

Introduction. Research participant recruitment is challenging – especially in vulnerable, stigmatised, high security, poorly demarcated contexts and contexts with diverse and interchangeable job labelling and poorly centralised reporting infrastructures. Cold case investigators in South Africa is an example of the latter. Method. Scoping literature review of information behaviour and other disciplines to note challenges and solutions in research participant recruitment. Analysis. Brief review of challenges noted in research methodology textbooks and applied thematic analysis mapped to problems and correlating solutions for research participant recruitment (various disciplines including information behaviour). Results. There are many challenges and solutions noted across disciplines including information behaviour e.g. job confidentiality, poor context demarcation, diverse and interchangeable job labels for the same context. Solutions reported include exploring related job/role labels, snowball sampling, non-intrusive social media methods. Conclusion. Based on experience with information search heuristics we suggest an additional novel approach for information behaviour research (and other) participant recruitment; a South African cold case investigator information behaviour study serves as exemplar to demonstrate how search heuristics can be used to identify potential research participants and solicit referrals for research participant recruitment.

Koyunyeri Köyü Camii, Edirne’nin İpsala ilçesine 15 km uzaklıkta bulunan eski adı Koyunyeri, yeni adı Aliço Pehlivan Köyü’nde günümüzdeki köy camisinin doğusunda bulunmaktaydı. II. Abdülhamit döneminde yaptırılmış olduğu düşünülen yapı, uzun süre kullanılmış ancak 1980’li yılların sonuna doğru üst yapısı çökmeye başlamıştır. Yavaş yavaş harap olan cami ibadet edilemez hale gelince, 1994 yılında caminin bitişiğine köy sakinleri tarafından yeni bir cami yaptırılmıştır. Daha sonra ise gittikçe harap duruma düşen caminin üst örtüsü tamamen yıkılmış, kapı ve pencereleri kırılmıştır. Bunun üzerine köy halkı ve muhtarı, yapının tehlike arz etmesi nedeniyle 2018 yılı sonlarında tamamen ortadan kaldırmıştır. Tarihi caminin bulunduğu alan günümüzde yeni caminin bahçesi olarak düzenlenmiştir.

Kareye yakın dikdörtgen bir plana sahip olan yapıdan günümüze herhangi bir kitabe ulaşmamıştır. Caminin hangi tarihte ve kim tarafından yapıldığı da bilinmemektedir. Cami ile benzerlik gösteren aynı yöredeki diğer camiler ve bu camilerin inşa tarihleri ve mimari üslupları göz önüne alındığında, eserin XIX. yüzyıl sonlarında II. Abdülhamit döneminde inşa edildiği düşünülmektedir.

Bu çalışmada 2018 yılı sonlarında tamamen yıkılan caminin yıkılmadan önceki malzeme, plan ve tasarım özellikleri hakkında genel bilgiler verilecektir. Çalışmanın amacı daha önce literatürde mevcut olmayan bu sanat eserini bilim dünyasına tanıtmaktır.

Authors: González Serrano Adolfo
Published: December 2020

ANTECEDENTES: en 63% de los pacientes con estenosis de la unión ureteropiélica existe un vaso polar inferior, que siempre se ha considerado “aberrante”, y como cruza por delante del uréter reduce su luz. Estos vasos representan variantes anatómicas de vasos provenientes de la aorta abdominal y la misma arteria renal.CASO CLÍNICO: paciente femenina de 26 años de edad, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial de un año de evolución, dolor en la fosa renal derecha e infección urinaria recurrente. En la urotomografía se evidenció, siempre en el lado derecho: hidronefrosis y vaso aberrante en torno a la unión ureteropiélica, curva obstructiva en la unidad renal, postgamagrama renal con diurético. Con el sistema quirúrgico Da Vinci® se realizó una plastia ureteropiélica desmembrada, sin complicaciones. El tiempo quirúrgico fue de 110 minutos. La paciente fue dada de alta del hospital al segundo día. El catéter JJ se retiró a las seis semanas y se realizó nuevo gamagrama un mes después del retiro del catéter.CONCLUSIÓN: la pieloplastia asistida por robot es un método mínimamente invasivo, seguro y efectivo para corregir la estenosis ureteropiélica.PALABRAS CLAVE: estenosis, unión ureteropiélica, robot, da Vinci.
