Se utilizó el estadígrafo U de Mann Whitney y Wilcoxon, para la prueba de hipótesis. Resultados. El hallazgo principal muestra que en el pretest la variable dependiente y sus dimensiones presentan un nivel de sig.>0,05. Concluido el proceso y aplicada el post test presenta un nivel de sig.<0,05, observándose una diferencia a favor del grupo experimental. Conclusión. El análisis de los valores estadísticos obtenidos permite concluir que el desarrollo de la conciencia metalingüística produce efectos significativos en la comprensión lectora a nivel literal, inferencial y crítico en castellano como segunda lengua, en estudiantes de educación primaria. Por consiguiente, se recomienda profundizar el estudio en muestras diferentes con la finalidad de generalizar el desarrollo de la conciencia metalingüística como propuesta para la mejora de la comprensión lectora en castellano como segunda lengua.
La paradoja digital: Análisis de las diferencias en la adopción tecnológica del profesorado dentro y fuera del aula
Authors: Freixas Rosario , Domínguez-Figaredo Daniel , Gamboa-Rodríguez Fernando
Published: April 2022

Problema. En la educación superior, la evaluación del uso de tecnologías muestra resultados discretos en lo relativo a la docencia. En una sociedad ampliamente tecnologizada, este hecho contrasta con las prácticas digitales del profesorado: en su vida personal, regulan su comportamiento de acuerdo con los principios de las tecnologías. Objetivo. Esta investigación se propone contrastar las prácticas digitales del profesorado fuera y dentro del aula, a partir de un modelo de adopción tecnológica que califica los usos que se hacen de las TIC y el nivel de apropiación que dichos usos implican. Metodología. Para analizar ese efecto, se empleó una metodología descriptiva no experimental y se realizó una encuesta que buscaba establecer en qué medida la adopción tecnológica en lo cotidiano se corresponde con la actividad docente. Resultados. En la vida privada, los usos que el profesorado da a la tecnología permiten la ampliación de las tareas que se llevan a cabo hacia horizontes que tradicionalmente no se pueden alcanzar sin el uso de ella. No así en la docencia, en donde el empleo de herramientas digitales contribuye a la realización de prácticas tradicionales. En cuanto a formación docente, el profesorado percibe las necesidades de encaminarla a ampliar la experiencia digital, aunque en su práctica profesional sigan teniendo una orientación más clara hacia la reproducción de estas mismas. Conclusiones. Los resultados muestran que la adopción tecnológica en la vida privada está mayormente orientada a un nivel de la ampliación, mientras que en la docencia se enfoca más hacia la sustitución de tareas tradicionales por otras que, si bien incorporan las tecnologías digitales, no aportan innovación en la práctica.

Published: April 2022

Double-Six Luxury Hotel is currently implementing Information Technology (IT) to support the company's operations. However, there are obstacles in implementing IT, such as users who fail to log in or log out and there are disruptions to the network server caused by the disconnection of the fiber optic cable. Based on this, it is necessary to audit information system governance. This study using the COBIT 5 Framework with a conceptual method. This research focuses on the DSS (Delivery, Support, and Service) domain in the DSS02 process. The purpose of the study was to determine the current level of capability (as-is) and expected conditions (to-be), gaps, and provide recommendations regarding information system governance at Double-Six Luxury Hotels. The results of this study indicate that the current condition of the DSS02 process capability level is at level 2 (Managed Process) with a percentage of 67.5% in the Very Achieved (L) category where the process has been managed well but only most of it is not entirely and the expected conditions are at level 3 (Build Process). Based on these results, it is known that in the DSS02 process there is a gap of 1 between as-is and to-be, so the management in the DSS02 process is sure to carry out process definition and process development at level 3 (building process) to achieve the specified level target

Authors: Rey Moggia Jesús , Chiodini Mauro , Galán Felipe , Amadei Enghelmayer Rafael
Published: April 2022

Introducción: Las fracturas de pelvis se asocian frecuentemente a un trauma de alta energía. La tasa de mortalidad varía del 5% al 46%. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar si las variables analizadas se asociaron con el resultado final del tratamiento de las fracturas de pelvis APCII (AO/OTA: 61B2.3).

Materiales y Métodos: Se evaluó a 23 de 79 pacientes luego de aplicarles los criterios de selección. Las fracturas fueron clasificadas, según Young y Burgess, en una radiografía panorámica de pelvis, de entrada y de salida, y tomografía computarizada. Se evaluó el resultado clínico según la escala funcional de Majeed. Las variables evaluadas fueron: tratamiento en la urgencia, lesiones asociadas, días de espera hasta la cirugía, fijación utilizada, reducción posquirúrgica inmediata, infección del sitio quirúrgico.

Resultados: No se halló una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre el tipo de tratamiento realizado en la urgencia, las lesiones asociadas, los días de espera hasta la cirugía y el tipo de fijación, con el resultado final a largo plazo. Los pacientes que tuvieron una reducción posoperatoria inmediata <1 cm y los que no sufrieron una infección del sitio quirúrgico obtuvieron mejores resultados funcionales, de manera estadísticamente significativa.

Conclusión: Las variables calidad de la reducción posquirúrgica inmediata e infección del sitio quirúrgico en pacientes con fractura de pelvis APCII se asocian directamente con los resultados funcional y clínico a largo plazo.
Epifisiólisis tibial proximal tipo IV-A de Ryu y Debenham. A propósito de un caso
Authors: Palma-Arjona Francisco , Valverde Cano Carmen R.
Published: April 2022

Las epifisiólisis tibiales proximales son un cuadro poco frecuente debido a la protección que aportan las estructuras circundantes de dicha zona. Por el desplazamiento que se origina es necesario realizar una exploración vascular junto a una reducción urgente para prevenir la lesión de la arteria poplítea y la aparición de un síndrome compartimental. Presentamos a un varón de 10 años con epifisiólisis de tibia proximal tipo I de Salter-Harris.
Abordaje intergemelar posteromediano del platillo tibial. Descripción de la técnica quirúrgica
Authors: Beatti Matías Alejo , Zublin Guerra Carlos Miguel , Guichet Diego Martín , Pellecchia Tomás Santiago
Published: April 2022

Introducción: Se han publicado múltiples abordajes para el tratamiento de las fracturas que involucran las columnas posteriores de los platillos tibiales. Presentamos un abordaje anatómico intergemelar para tratar todas las fracturas con compromiso del componente posterior. Este procedimiento permite el acceso con visualización completa de toda la región posterior facilitando la reducción y colocación del material de osteosíntesis necesario para lograr la configuración más estable. Se describe el abordaje intergemelar posteromediano de acceso al platillo tibial descrito por nuestro equipo.

Conclusiones: Consideramos que esta vía de abordaje representa una opción por tener en cuenta al tratar fracturas que afecten ambas columnas posteriores, alguna de ellas de manera aislada o la inserción tibial del ligamento cruzado posterior. Si bien las estructuras neurovasculares requieren atención constante durante el acto quirúrgico, la visión directa de ellas y su protección meticulosa, realizada por cirujanos experimentados, reduce al mínimo el riesgo de lesión y su manipulación no es una contraindicación para la elección de esta vía.
Erosión de la apófisis coracoides secundaria a osteosíntesis de fractura de clavícula distal. Reporte de un caso
Authors: García Bistolfi Mariano , Brandariz Rodrigo N. , Montenegro Puigdengolas Noelia , Rossi Luciano A. , Tanoira Ignacio , Ranalletta Maximiliano
Published: April 2022

Introducción: El 10-30% de las fracturas de clavícula ocurren en el tercio distal. El diagnóstico se realiza con radiografías de hombro (de frente y de perfil, y proyección de Zanca). La mayoría de estas fracturas se tratan de forma conservadora, pero aquellas con gran desplazamiento, patrones transversos o conminutos pueden requerir tratamiento quirúrgico debido a la alta tasa de seudoartrosis. Se han descrito diversos tipos de fijación para este grupo de fracturas. Si bien la osteosíntesis con placas logra resultados clínico-funcionales y de consolidación satisfactorios, no está exenta de complicaciones y las más frecuentes son: intolerancia al material de osteosíntesis (hasta un 30%), infección, lesión neurovascular y seudoartrosis. Sin embargo, según nuestro conocimiento, no existen reportes sobre la osteólisis de la apófisis coracoides secundaria a la osteosíntesis con placa LCP en fracturas del tercio distal de la clavícula.

Conclusión: La erosión de la apófisis coracoides debido a la fijación con placa y tornillos es una complicación que no ha sido publicada previamente. Debe tenerse extrema precaución al realizar el túnel óseo y al medir la longitud de los tornillos para evitar potenciales complicaciones.
Enclavado endomedular en fracturas de tibia. ¿Existe una relación entre el punto de entrada para la inserción del clavo y su alineación final?
Authors: Nieto Ignacio H. , Mangupli Martín M. , Allende Bartolomé L. , Pioli Ignacio J. , Gómez José M.
Published: April 2022

Introducción: Las fracturas de tibia representan aproximadamente el 2% de las fracturas del adulto. El enclavado endomedular es hoy el procedimiento de elección para tratar fracturas diafisarias de tibia; sin embargo, esta técnica no está exenta de complicaciones, la desalineación en el plano coronal es una de las más frecuentes y temidas por los cirujanos. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la relación entre el punto de entrada del clavo y la desalineación en el plano coronal después de la cirugía.

Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo, observacional, entre enero de 2015 y enero de 2019, de pacientes con fracturas diafisarias de tibia, tratadas con clavo endomedular. Se obtuvieron radiografías en el posquirúrgico inmediato y luego cada dos meses, se tuvo en cuenta la radiografía del octavo mes, en la que se observaban signos francos de consolidación ósea, para valorar la alineación tibial.

Resultados: Cuando el punto de entrada del clavo fue central, hubo apenas un 0,021 de posibilidades (o 2,1%) de alguna desalineación significativa en el posquirúrgico inmediato y luego de 8 meses. En cambio, cuando fue medial, las posibilidades de una tendencia al valgo fueron >0,85 (u 85%) ya al tomar la primera imagen, i.e., poscirugía; y cuando fue lateral, esta posibilidad se modifica y profundiza según el tiempo transcurrido hasta la imagen lograda en el paciente.

Conclusión: Se observó una relación marcada y continua entre el punto de entrada del clavo endomedular y la alineación de la tibia después de la consolidación ósea.
Nonoperative Management of Uncomplicated Appendicitis
Authors: Lipsett Susan C. , Monuteaux Michael C. , Shanahan Kristen H. , Bachur Richard G.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Several studies have revealed the success of nonoperative management (NOM) of uncomplicated appendicitis in children. Large studies of current NOM utilization and its outcomes in children are lacking.

METHODS

We queried the Pediatric Health Information System database to identify children <19 years of age with a diagnosis code for appendicitis. We used linear trend analysis to assess the subsequent utilization and outcomes of NOM in children with nonperforated appendicitis over time. We calculated the proportion of children experiencing treatment failure, defined as either a subsequent appendectomy or hospitalization with a diagnosis code of perforated appendicitis.

RESULTS

We identified 117 705 children with appendicitis over the 9-year study period. Of the 73 544 children with nonperforated appendicitis, 10 394 (14.1%) underwent NOM. The odds of NOM significantly increased (odds ratio 1.10 per study quarter, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05–1.15). The 1-year and 5-year failure rates were 18.6% and 23.3%, respectively. Children who experienced failure of NOM had higher rates of perforation at the time of failure than did the general cohort at the time of initial presentation (45.7% vs 37.5%, P < .001). Patients undergoing NOM had higher rates of subsequent related emergency department visits (8.0% vs 5.1%, P < .001) and hospitalizations (4.2% vs 1.4%, P < .001) over a 12-month follow-up period.

CONCLUSIONS

NOM of nonperforated appendicitis in children is increasing. Although the majority of children who undergo NOM remain recurrence-free years later, they carry a substantial risk of perforation at the time of recurrence and may experience a higher rate of postoperative complications than children undergoing an immediate appendectomy.
ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH LIFESTYLES: STRUCTURAL AND INTERSECTIONAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND ILLNESS IN MEDICAL SOCIOLOGY
Authors: Georgieva-Stankova N.
Published: April 2022

Purpose and Methods: The paper traces the effects of the environment and other structural factors on individual health and illness, as analysed theoretically by Medical Sociology. More particularly, it focuses on the interplay between structural factors in sociology and individual agency, i.e. the extent to which one’s health is a matter of personal choice or affected by macrosocial factors, such as living conditions, social status, race/ethnicity, gender, age and etc. Results: An imaginary debate between an expanded economic view on health (Becker 1979) and a sociological perspective (Cockerham 2013) is staged to weigh out different standpoints and the insistence on the primacy of either of the factors. William Cockerham’s health lifestyles (2013) is analysed (an extension of the traditions of Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu), as an interplay between life chances and life choices, stressing the primacy of structural factors, without disregarding individual agency, however, within the confines of particular structural restrictions. Discussion and conclusion: Criticism of Becker’s economic health perspective is provided. Additionally, the intersectionality of structural factors is examined and their mutual co-determination. Finally, a claim is made for the need to connect environmental health with preventive medicine.
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AS AN ELEMENT OF GREEN TRANSFORMATION IN BULGARIA
Authors: Ivanova V.
Published: April 2022

In order to successfully meet the EU's resource efficiency targets by 2030, the transition to a circular economy model should become a state priority. This implies that the concept should be expanded not only to waste reduction and recycling, but also to the disruption of the dependence between economic growth and waste production. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how far in Bulgaria is done the transition to a circular model, while making a comparison with the EU and to prove the need for an accelerated implementation of adequate measures on the part of public authorities to promote such a change. Work is based on a descriptive analysis of secondary data on the performance of the selected indicators of circular economy and comparative analysis within the EU. The analysis shows the presence of a certain delay compared to the EU average indicators as well as unused opportunities not only related to more efficient use of resources, but also to a radical change in the business model. The conclusions reached indicate the existence of a number of obstacles that delay the transition. This calls for accelerating the reform of eco-fiscal and innovative government policies. The added value of the article is not only the analytical consideration of the problems, but mostly in drawing up recommendations for future measures.

Life at Four Corners
Authors: Coburn Carol K.
Published: April 2022

Defined less by geography than by demographic character, Block, Kansas, in many ways exemplifies the prevalent yet seldom-scrutinized ethnic, religion-based community of the rural Midwest. Physically small, the town sprang up around four corners formed by crossroads. Spiritually strong and cohesive, it became the educational and cultural center for generations of German-Lutheran families. Block provided a religious and cultural oasis-a welcome transition for German-Lutheran immigrants faced with a new language and unfamiliar customs. Yet the tight bond between an ethnic society and a religion that shunned Americanism and the English language paradoxically slowed the transition and maintained a culturally isolated community well into the twentieth century.

In Life at Four Corners, Carol Coburn analyzes the powerful combination of those ethnic and religious institutions that effectively resisted assimilation for nearly 80 years only to succumb to the influences of the outside world during the 1930s and 1940s. Emphasizing the formal and informal education provided by the church, school, and family, she examines the total process of how values, identities, and all aspects of culture were transmitted from generation to generation.
Quipus and Witches’ Knots
Authors: Day Cyrus Lawrence
Published: April 2022

This essay in cultural anthropology provides a comprehensive view of the way primitive people in all parts of the world once utilized knots; mnemonic knots—to record dates, numbers, and cultural traditions; magic knots—to cure diseases, bewitch enemies, and control the forces of nature; and practical knots—to tie things and hold things together.

In his discussion of mnemonic knots, the author analyzes the Peruvian quipus (or knot-calendars and knot-records) and suggests that the Inca astronomer-priests, known to have been accurate observers of the movements of the planets, may also have been able to predict the dates of lunar eclipses; and he shows how it is possible to manipulate the Ina abacus in accordance with the decimal system.

His treatment of magic knots includes instances from Babylonian times to the present, with curious examples of the supernatural power attributed to the Hercules knot (i.e., the square knot) in Egypt, Greece, and Rome. His analysis of a little-known treatise on surgeons’ slings and nooses, written by the Green physician Heraklas, is the first detailed account of the specific practical knots used by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Quipus and Witches’ Knots, which is abundantly illustrated, often surprises the reader with the unexpected ways in which the once universal dependence of men on knots has left its mark on the language, customs, and thought of modern peoples.
Quest and Response
Authors: McCoy Donald R. , Ruetten Richard T.
Published: April 2022

Here is a thorough treatment of every important aspect of minority affairs during the Truman administration. The authors trace the significant developments in the quest for minority rights from 1945 to 1953, show the interrelatedness to the struggle waged by Americas racial minorities, and assess the role of the Truman administration in that struggle.

The quest of minority peoples for civil rights was a scattered, meager movement until the beginning of the Second World War. Minority group members were segregated, intimidated, poverty-ridden, and undernourished, and their struggle suffered from these weaknesses. This situation changed to an unprecedented extent during the years between 1945 and 1953.

Under President Harry S. Truman, the executive branch of the federal government listened to minority groups as never before and often responded to their entreaties and pressures. Civil-rights victories were won in the courts. Educational levels rose and employment opportunities increased. Legal segregation began to crumble, and the campaign for better housing inched forward. Alliances were forged among racial minorities, Jews, organized labor, and political and religious liberals.

Sizable elements among the minority group ranks developed a modicum of economic power and political influence for the first time during the Truman administration. This rudimentary power was among the bases for civil-rights and racial developments after 1953.

Although the civil-rights story of the Truman administration is one relating mainly to blacks, this study deals with other minority groups, including Indians, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese- and Chinese-Americans, and Jews. Based on extensive research in primary source materials, it is a balanced, in-depth analysis of the power of minorities in eliciting change. It is a valuable addition to the study of social as well as political history.
Getting By
Authors: Gringeri Christina E.
Published: April 2022

In this book Christina Gringeri investigates the effects of homeworking on workers, mainly women, and their families and explores the role of the state in subsidizing the development of homeworking jobs that depend on gender as an organizing principle. She focuses on two Midwestern communities, Riverton, Wisconsin and Prairie Hills, Iowa, where more than 80 families have supplemented their incomes since 1986 as home-based contractors of small auto parts for The Middle Company, a Fortune 500 manufacturer and subcontractor of General Motors. Gringeri looks at rural development from the perspective of local and state officials as well as that of the workers. Through the use of extensive personal interviews, she shows how the advantage of homework for women being able to stay home with their families is outweighed by the disadvantages piecework pay far below minimum wage, long hours, unstable contracts, and lack of company benefits. Instead of providing the hoped-for financial panacea for rural families, Gringeri argues, industrial homework reinforces the unequal position of women as low-wage workers and holds families and communities below or near poverty level.
Enduring Liberalism
Authors: Fowler Robert Booth
Published: April 2022

Has the United States become more pluribus than unum? In terms of the nation's political beliefs, Robert Booth Fowler answers both yes and no. While his study affirms significant diversity among an elite cadre of public intellectuals, it vigorously denies it in a general public that collectively adheres to the same set of liberal core values.

Enduring Liberalism pursues two objectives. One, it explores the political thought of public intellectuals and the general public since the 1960s. Two, it assesses contemporary and classic interpretations of American political thought in light of the study's findings.

Fowler interprets the writings of public intellectuals like Robert Bellah, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Michael Walzer, William Bennett, Seymour Martin Lipset, William Galston, and others, as well as survey data of American political attitudes, to spotlight this oft-ignored divide between citizens and high-profile commentators, whose contentious debates are mistakenly assumed to reflect countrywide rifts.

Fowler's argument is straightforward, but the interpretation is controversial. He recounts how the consensus liberal view in post-World War II American political thought collapsed among public intellectuals during the tumult of the 1960s and remains so to this day. His book examines the resultant diversity among contemporary public intellectuals, focusing on three predominant themes: concern for community, worry about the environment, and interest in civil society. In marked contrast to these disputatious commentators, Fowler finds the realm of popular opinion to be characterized by much greater consensus. Indeed, there seems to be a trend toward an even more general embrace of the liberal values that characterize our attitudes toward the individual, individual liberty, political equality, economic opportunity, and consent of the governed. Liberal values—above all the celebration of the individual and individual rights—have revolutionized the so-called private realms of life like family and religious communities to an extent unimagined in the 1950s.

From these conclusions, Fowler demonstrates that most interpretations of American political thinking have exaggerated the extent of conflict and diversity in our nation's often raucous policy disputes. But he also cautions us not to overstate the public's widely shared liberal values and, by doing so, miss opportunities to facilitate problem solving or to recognize the ways in which our reform efforts may be constrained.
Revolt Against Modernity
Authors: McAllister Ted V.
Published: April 2022

Eric Voegelin and Leo Strauss are two of the most provocative and durable political philosophers of this century. Ted McAllister's superbly written study provides the first comprehensive comparison of their thought and its profound influence on contemporary American conservatism.

Since the appearance in the 1950s of Strauss's Natural Right and History and Voegelin's Order and History, conservatives like Russell Kirk, Irving Kristol, and Allan Bloom have increasingly turned to these thinkers to support their attacks on liberalism and the modernist mindset.

Like so many conservatives, Strauss and Voegelin rebelled against modernity' amorality—personified by Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche—and its promotion of individualism and materialism over communal and spiritual responsibility. While both disdained the reductionist "conservative" label, conservatives nevertheless appropriated their philosophy, in part because it restored theology and classical tradition to the moral core of civil society.

For both men, modernity's debilitating disorder revealed surprising and disturbing relations among liberal, communist, and Nazi ideologies. In their eyes, modernity's insidious virus, so apparent in the Nazi and communist regimes, lies incubating within liberal democracy itself.

McAllister's thorough reevaluation of Strauss and Voegelin expands our understanding of their thought and restores balance to a literature that has been dominated by political theorists and disciples of Strauss and Voegelin. Neither reverential nor dismissive, he reveals the social, historical, political, and philosophical foundations of their work and effectively decodes their frequently opaque or esoteric thinking.

Well written and persuasively argued, McAllister's study will appeal to anyone engaged in the volatile debates over liberalism's demise and conservatism's rise.
The American Deists
Authors: Walters Kerry S.
Published: April 2022

Challenging carved-in-stone tenets of Christianity, deism began sprouting in colonial America in the early eighteenth century, was flourishing nicely by the American Revolution, and for all intents and purposes was dead by 1811. Despite its hasty demise, deism left a theological legacy. Christian sensibility would never be quite the same.

Bringing together the works of six major American deists—Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Ethan Allen, Thomas Paine, Elihu Palmer, and Philip Frenau—an dthe Frechman Comte de Volney, whose writings greatly influenced the American deists, Kerry Walters has created the fullest analysis yet of deism and rational religion in colonial and early America. In addition to presenting a chronological collection of several works by each author, he provides a description of deisms historical roots, its major themes, its social and political implications, and the reasons for its eventual demise as a movement.

Essential readings from the three major deistic periodicals of the period—Temple of Reason, Prospect, and the Theophilanthropist—also are included in the volume. This is the first time they have been reprinted since their original publication.

American deism is more than merely an antiquated philosophical position possessing only historical interest, Walters contends. Its search for a religion based upon the ideals of reason, nature, and humanitarianism, rather than the blind faith, scriptural inerrancy, and miracles preached by Christian churches at the time, continues to offer insight of real significance.

Цель: успех проектов явно зависит от персонала, связанного с управлением проектами и особенно от менеджеров. Их производительность и возможности основаны на достигнутых компетенциях. Данное исследование направлено на выявление и обобщение классификационных инструментов, применимых для подбора перечня компетенций, необходимых менеджеру конкретного проекта. Обсуждение: необходимо выделить наиболее актуальные вопросы для сферы проектного менеджмента, касающиеся компетенций руководителей проектов. Первый касается физической природы компетенций и той особенности, что работодатели чаще всего акцентируют внимание лишь на профессиональных компетенциях, тогда как в проектах менеджеру крайне важны социальные, а нередко – и физические компетенции. Особенности проектной деятельности, отличающие ее от циклической, определяют эту важность. Второй вопрос связан с классификацией компетенций проджект-менеджеров по способам их формирования. Наблюдения показывают, что в подавляющем большинстве случаев ни оценки уровня образования, ни накопленного опыта оказывается недостаточно для обеспечения гарантий успеха работы менеджера, а следовательно – и всего проекта. Третий выделенный вопрос касается проблемы непроявленных компетенций. Менеджер с определенным спектром и уровнем компетенций может быть заинтересован лишь в проектах достаточного уровня сложности и оплаты для максимального охвата вовлечения возможностей, и привлечь его в проект меньшей сложности может оказаться проблематичным и невыгодным. Результаты: авторы выявили ряд наиболее актуальных вопросов для сферы проектного менеджмента, касающиеся компетенций руководителей проектов. Таким образом, классификационные обобщения необходимых и желательных компетенций могут существенно облегчить задачу отбора кандидатов на должность менеджера проекта.

Цель: выявить особенности динамики розничного рынка продовольственных товаров в условиях социально-экономических кризисов; оценить действенность мер его государственного регулирования в современных кризисных условиях. Обсуждение: обеспечение продовольственной безопасности, недопущение дефицитов социально значимых продуктов питания – важнейшие задачи государства в условиях пандемии. В этой связи важно оценивать динамику розничных продаж продуктов питания, выявлять ее ключевые особенности, отслеживать ценообразование на этом рынке и своевременно принимать поддерживающие меры с учетом интересов всех участвующих сторон, привлекать к их реализации бизнес. Таким образом, актуальные результаты такого анализа представляют интерес для органов власти, производителей продовольственных товаров, оптовых компаний, торговых сетей и других заинтересованных пользователей. Результаты: дана оценка динамики рынка продуктового ритейла в Российской Федерации в допандемийные периоды и в условиях современного социально-экономического кризиса с учетом факторов инфляции и изменения численности населения страны; дана сравнительная характеристика показателей этого рынка в трех кризисных периодах: 2008-2009 гг., 2014-2015 гг. и в настоящее время; оценена эффективность мер государственной поддержки обеспечения населения продовольствием с опорой на статистические показатели.
Количественный анализ влияния факторов риска на результативность деятельности винодельческих организаций РФ
Authors: Яковлев Тимур Валентинович , Коротких Вячеслав Владимирович
Published: April 2022

Цель: статистический анализ влияния внешних и внутренних факторов риска на результативность деятельности винодельческих организаций. Обсуждение: несмотря на экономический спад, благодаря именно винодельческим организациям алкогольная отрасль РФ может внести существенный вклад в формирование условий для обеспечения продовольственной безопасности и эффективного импортозамещения, в том числе в условиях экономических санкций. Винодельческие организации показали, что способны действовать эффективно даже в негативных условиях повышения акцизов. В работе предпринимается попытка количественной оценки влияния факторов риска, общих для винодельческих организаций РФ, на показатели результативности их деятельности. В составе основных факторов риска рассматриваются: акцизный, валютный, процентный и ценовой (по средней розничной цене) риски. Также среди факторов результативности рассматривается уровень диверсификации. Результаты: в ходе анализа установлено, что подверженность факторам риска в значительной степени варьируется в зависимости от размера организации. В среднем более высокие показатели результативности демонстрируют крупные организации, но также они имеют большую подверженность процентному риску, что в условиях высокой долговой нагрузки оказывает крайне негативное влияние.

CİDDİ TRAVMATİK BEYİN HASARINDA AMANTADİN ETKİNLİĞİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: OLGU SERİSİ VE LİTERATÜR DERLEMESİ
Authors: KARABACAK Pınar , POLAT Özlem
Published: April 2022

Travmatik beyin hasarı (TBH) genç nüfus arasında

sık görülen bir ölüm sebebidir. Bu hastaların yaklaşık

% 10-15'nde ciddi komorbiditeler görülmektedir ve vejetatif

bir hayat ile taburcu edilmektedirler. Amantadin,

NMDA (N-metil-D-aspartat) reseptör antagonisti ve

indirekt dopamin agonisti gibi davranmaktadır. Fakat

etki mekanizması net değildir. TBH olan hastalarda

uyanıklığı artırmak için hala kullanılmaktadır. Bu olgu

serisinde, TBH ile yoğun bakımda takip edilen ve tedavilerinde

amantadin kullanılan 8 hasta sunulmuştur.

Olguların özellikleri Tablo 1'de verilmiştir. Travmatik

beyin hasarı olan tüm hastalar geldiklerinde bilinçsizdi

ve entübe edildiler. Tüm hastalara sedasyon için tiyopental

sodyum 3 mg/kg yükleme sonrası 3-5 mg/ kg /

saat infüzyon dozlarında kullanıldı. Amantadin sülfat

tedavisine ilk saatte 200 mg / gün olarak başlandı ve

tedaviye en az 10 gün devam edildi. Travmatik beyin

hasarı (TBI), sosyal ve ekonomik sonuçları olan ciddi

bir sağlık problemidir. Nörolojik iyileşmeyi artırmak

için pek çok yöntem bulunmasına rağmen hala spesifik

bir tedavisi yoktur. Amantadin, TBH'li hastaların

nörolojik iyileşmesi için güvenilir ve sıklıkla kullanılan

bir ilaçtır. Literatürde TBH'li hastalarda amantadin

kullanımına ilişkin çalışmalar kontrol grubu ve çeşitli

parametreler ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmalar,

amantadin grubunda nörolojik iyileşmenin daha iyi

olduğunu göstermiştir. Glasgow Koma Ölçeği (GKS),

Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) skalası ve

yoğun bakım ve hastanede kalış süresi gibi bazı değişkenler

kullandık. FOUR skalası entübe hastalarda

nörolojik durumu daha iyi yansıtır. Etkinliği gösteren

sınırlı sayıda makale olmasına rağmen TBH'li hastalarda

amantadin kullanımı, dozu, süresi ile ilgili yeni

çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
A conceptual review on pretreatment anxiety management in a dental setting using hypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation
Authors: Puja Sabherwal , Namita Kalra , Rishi Tyagi , Amit Khatri , Shruti Srivastava
Published: April 2022

Dental anxiety is associated with the thought or idea of seeing the dentist and undergoing dental procedures. Anxiety-associated problems in the dental setting include avoidance of appointments, inability to provide successful dental care, and delay in optimal recovery. Anxiolysis is important to the level of being mandatory for suitable administration of dental care. Since times immemorial, dentists have struggled to manage anxiety successfully by employing changing concepts and strategies over time. Pharmacological modalities to allay anxiety-like sedation and general anesthesia are popular yet associated with an added cost per patient, side effects, expensive armamentarium, documentation, and patient monitoring. Non-pharmacological modalities for anxiety management have been employed over time but have limited nature of success. The use of hypnosis as a therapeutic modality for healing and resolving anxiety is known for over five thousand years and has been a part of many cultures over time. Progressive Muscle Relaxation, which was documented first in 1908 is based on the principle of releasing neuromuscular tension in the body which creates a state of emotional equilibrium. In the present paper, an in-depth review of the techniques i.e. Hypnosis and Progressive Muscle Relaxation is provided from the perspective of a dental clinician from historical evolution to practical recommendations. Both Hypnosis and Progressive Muscle Relaxation hold promise to be adjunct tools in the modern dentist’s armamentarium to manage anxiety.
