The American Academy of Pediatrics has created recommendations for health appraisal and preparation of young people before participation in day, resident, or family camps and to guide health and safety practices at camp. These recommendations are intended for parents and families, primary health care providers, and camp administration and health center staff. Although camps have diverse environments, there are general guidelines that apply to all situations and specific recommendations that are appropriate under special conditions. This policy statement has been reviewed and is supported by the American Camp Association and Association of Camp Nursing.

Aims: Stroke represents one of the main causes of mobility and mortality, occurring in three-quarters of the elderly. Rehabilitation aims at improving deficits, function and social integration of patients with stroke sequelae. We characterized an elderly population admitted for post-stroke rehabilitation and evaluated the differences in the functional evolution between elderly and non-elderly patients.Methods: We analyzed retrospectively all the patients suffering a stroke admitted in a Centre of Rehabilitation Medicine between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2016. Patients were divided into 2 groups: elderly (65 years) and non-elderly (<65 years). The following variables were analyzed: sex, age, days of admission, post-discharge destination and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission and discharge.Results: We analyzed 134 patients with stroke. The majority were elderly with a mean age of 72.07±6.50. 51.3% were men and the number of days of admission was 107.4±59.5 (vs 109.50±55.7 days in the non-elderly group). 86.4% of these patients were discharged home. Comparing FIM mean values at admission and discharge, we found differences between these two groups, the elderly patients having lower FIM values at admission (75.75 vs 82.96 non-elderly; p=0.005) and at discharge (88.93 vs 99.12 non-elderly; p=0.005). There was also some difference in the FIM increase between admission and discharge in these groups. Despite not being statistically significant.Conclusions: Most patients hospitalized were over 65 years old. FIM values at admission of the elderly patients are lower than of the non-elderly, probably because the latter present specific characteristics associated with the ageing process. Although FIM increases were lower in the elderly patients’ group, this difference was not significant whereby they appeared to have functionally benefited as much as the non-elderly. Therefore, age on its own does not appear to be a decision criteria for admission.
Muscle strength and muscle mass in elderly women after cholecalciferol supplementation in Southern Brazil
Authors: Da Silva Patrícia Zambone , Schneider Rodolfo Herberto
Published: June 2019

AimS: Vitamin D is known to be vital in sustaining musculoskeletal functions, with its deficiency may cause muscle weakness and decreased bone mineral density. Vitamin D inadequacy is highly prevalent and its deficiency or insufficiency estimated to affect one billion people worldwide. It causes secondary hyperparathyroidism, bone loss, fractures and it has been associated with a number of other conditions, such as impaired muscle function (1), we decided to verify if there is an association between 25(OH)D status and handgrip strength and with lean muscle mass after cholecalciferol supplementation in elderly women.Methods : We studied fifty-four postmenopausal women with serum 25(OH)D below 30 ng/mL during three months. Cholecalciferol supplementation was divided into two levels according to classification: deficient (10000 units/day) and insufficient (2000 units/day). Changes in biochemical response and in body composition were assessed using dual-x-ray energy absormetry, handgrip strength and blood tests before and after supplementation.Results: The majority of the sample were vitamin D deficient. There was no difference in the deficient group for handgrip strength after the supplementation (p=0,489), but PTH had a statistically significant reduction (p=0.001). Besides, the deficient group had a decrease in lean mass even after the intervention (p=0.006). The results were similar when comparing within results of the insufficient group, however lean mass remained stable (p=0.423).Conclusion: Three-month cholecalciferol supplementation alone in elderly women with doses according to 25(OH)D serum was insufficient to change handgrip strength and total lean muscle mass, however secondary hyperparathyroidism was corrected.

Aim: execute a theoretical review about the use and applicability of subcutaneous therapy and to construct a guide for dilutions and compatibilities between drugs, allowing a safe and effective use by elderly or in need of palliative care patients.Source of data: The research resource used was the search for scientific data in databases such as Lilacs, Medline, Pubmed, and Scielo, to perform a narrative review on the subject, using the terms "Hipodermóclise", "Terapia subcutânea", "Hypodermoclysis" and "Subcutaneous”.Summary of findings: Considering the progressive increase in the elderly population and also in the number of people with chronic or terminal diseases, is important the development of techniques which ensure the comfort and the autonomy of these patients. The Hypodermoclysis or subcutaneous therapy has its therapeutical efficiency proved and it also can be helpful with patients who don´t have the oral way as a possibility for medication administration and hydration. It presents a safe and low-risk way to adverse effects, also acting as relief resource to symptoms such as náusea, vomiting, hard control pain, and dehydration. However, there are some disadvantages such as the impossibility of fast doses and volume adjustment, the limited and infusion speed and the small number of medicine and electrolytes that can be infused.Conclusion: Hypodermoclysis is a safe way of administration, since the clinical characteristics of each patient are considered and, in order to fit the technique, it is necessary to create a database according to the reality of each institution, considering the characteristics of each medicine and the necessary care to promote the quality of life of these patients, so that they can reach their therapeutic goals.
Posguerra y posverdad: La condición masónica de Margarita Nelken
Authors: Jardón Pardo de Santayana Pelayo
Published: June 2019

Tras la Guerra Civil española, la diputada Margarita Nelken (1893-1968) fue juzgada por el Tribunal para la Represión de la Masonería y el Comunismo.  Fue acusada de los delitos de masonería y comunismo y procesada en rebeldía. La principal prueba física del sumario era una carta de recomendación de la logia Lealtad, de Barcelona, fechada en 1924, que en realidad correspondía a la cupletista Stella Margarita. Pese a la falta de pruebas, se consideró en la sentencia que Margarita Nelken había ingresado en la masonería, a la que había dispensado “protección importante”.

Authors: Seliverstov Yaroslav , Chigur Viktoriya , Sazanov Arseniy , Seliverstov Svyatoslav , Svistunova Aliaksandra
Published: June 2019

As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that social networks (Vkontakte, Facebook), thematic communities in microblogging networks (Twitter), resources for travelers (TripAdvisor), transport portals (Autostrada) are a source of up-to-date and operational information about the traffic situation, the quality of transport services and passenger satisfaction with the quality of levels of transport services. However, the existing transport monitoring systems do not contain software tools capable of collecting and analyzing traffic information located in the Internet environment. This paper discusses the task of building a system for automatically retrieving and classifying road traffic information from transport Internet portals and testing the developed system for analyzing the transport networks of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. To solve this problem, an analysis of open source libraries for thematic data collection and analysis was carried out. An algorithm for extracting and analyzing texts has been developed. A crawler was developed using the Scrapy package in Python3, and user feedback from the portal http://autostrada.info/ru was collected on the state of the transport system of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. For texts lemmatization and vector text transformation, the tf, idf, tf-idf methods and their implementation in the Scikit-Learn library were considered: CountVectorizer and TF-IDF Vectorizer. For word processing, Bag-of-Words and n-gram methods were considered. During the development of the classifier model, the naive Bayes algorithm (MultinomialNB) and the linear classifier model with optimization of the stochastic gradient descent (SGDClassifier) were used. As a training sample, a corpus of 225,000 labeled texts from the Twitter resource was used. The classifier was trained, during which the cross-validation strategy and the ShuffleSplit method were used. Testing and comparison of the results of the pitch classification were carried out. According to the results of validation, the linear model with the n-gram scheme [1, 3] and the vectorizer TF-IDF turned out to be the best. During the approbation of the developed system, the collection and analysis of reviews related to the quality of transport networks of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol were conducted. Conclusions are drawn and prospects for further functional development of the developed tools are defined.

Published: June 2019

The paper considers research of the sustainability plans of active moving objects (AMOs) control system application. AMOs are material objects moving in space and carrying out informational, material and energetic interaction with objects, control points and other AMOs.

Use of AMOs is usually regulated by strict requirements, so any time delay or incomplete achievement of target effect are unacceptable. The reason of failing to perform a  purpose task can be the development  of control using incorrect plans, so that realization of the plan is unstable due to random factors or targeted effects of the environment and other systems. The paper deals with problematic issues of complex research of active moving objects control application stability plans .

 Quantitative and qualitative assessment methods of stability plans , ways and means of ensuring required levels of stability  are proposed by the authors. In this case planning task is considered dynamic, which provides plan correction by means of organizational, structural and program-algorithmic measures to ensure stability. The most adequate model of plan implementation is appropriate system of differential equations. Notion of stability probability is defined  to account stochastic character of disturbance effect . The expression for stability criterion is obtained. It allows to establish the fact of sustainability and unsustainability based on analysis of properties of a purposefully  built Lyapunov function and disturbances characteristics.
Treatment of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw With Plasma Rich in Growth Factors After Dental Implant Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Gil Ignacio García , Ponte Barbara Molina , Mateo Sergio Trapote , García Jaime Jiménez
Published: June 2019

Oral bisphosphonates are commonly used to improve bone density in patients who suffer from a variety of pathologies. However, they have also been known to cause bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). The aim of this clinical case presentation is to (1) determine whether the currently recommended length of time that oral bisphosphonates should be discontinued, before performing dental implant surgery, is sufficient to prevent BRONJ and (2) to describe an alternative treatment for BRONJ. A 65-year-old female patient developed BRONJ after receiving mandibular dental implants 5 months after discontinuing alendronic acid (Fosamax). The BRONJ was treated by surgical osteotomy and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), and the patient was followed up with biweekly examinations, which included 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwashes and removal of any remaining necrotic bone. The dental implants were loaded 41 weeks after surgery and followed up with periapical radiographs and implant stability quotient measurements at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postloading. Although the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons protocols for suspension of presurgical oral bisphosphonates were followed, this patient still developed BRONJ after implant surgery. While a multitude of treatments have been described in the literature, there is not enough scientific evidence to support any one treatment. Based on this clinical case, it can be concluded that the potential adverse effects of oral bisphosphonates on the jaws could be greater than expected and that treatment with PRGF produces promising results, although more long-term studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
“You can’t go back to holding hands.” Reading Judy Blume’s Forever in the #MeToo Era
Authors: Spiering Jenna , Kedley Kate
Published: June 2019

Judy Blume’s Forever is a cultural artifact that gives readers a historical look at society’s attitudes about sex and sexuality at the time of publication in 1975. However, in the #MeToo era, Blume’s text is poised for new analysis in light of important conversations and concerns about sex, sexuality, and consent. In this article, Critical Youth Studies and Queer Theory are used to explore the ways in which young readers can critically engage with Blume’s novel and questions about virginity, sex, sexuality, and consent associated with the #MeToo movement.

Published: June 2019

Aim. To study the relationship between the level of the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and aldosterone in serum, cardiovascular remodeling parameters with the degree of chronic heart failure (CHF) and kidney dysfunction (KD).

Material and methods. Fifty two patients with coronary artery disease with CHF of I (19 patients), II (21) and III (12) functional classes (FC) were examined. All patients underwent echocardiography with assessment of systolic function and structural-geometric parameters of the left ventricle (LV), blood flow study at the level of the common carotid artery (CCA) with the determination of the thickness of the intim-media complex, velocity parameters of blood flow, resistance (RI) and pulsation (PI) indexes, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by CKD-ЕРI method, the level of NTproBNP and aldosterone in serum. The patients were divided depending on the eGFR elvel: 30< eGFR ≤60 ml/min/1,73 m2 — 14 patients, eGFR >60 ml/min/1,73 m2 — 38 patients.

Results. Patients with II FC CHF had the medium-high NTproBNP and aldosterone values. Subjects with FC III CHF had high levels of NTproBNP and aldosterone. A correlation relationship was found between the NTproBNP, aldosterone and ejection fraction (EF) levels (r=-0,70 and r=-0,72, respectively), between the NTproBNP, aldosterone and enddiastolic LV velocity (r=0,78 and r=0,70, respectively). There was a significant thickening of the carotid intima-media complex and a decrease in the blood flow velocity and an increase in vascular resistance with increasing CHF. We also noted a significant difference in the maximum end-diastolic velocity in patients with eGFR ≤60 ml/min/1,73 m2 compared with this indicator in patients with eGFR >60 ml/min/1,73 m2.

Conclusion. In patients with CHF, a significant increase in NTproBNP and aldosterone levels is associated with FC of CHF, LV systolic dysfunction and KD. The interrelation of cardiovascular remodeling indicators with the degree of CHF and KD was revealed.
Antiarrhythmic therapy in the treatment of atrial fibrillation: yesterday, today, tomorrow
Authors: Podzolkov V. I. , Tarzimanova A. I.
Published: June 2019

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder encountered in clinical practice. Each year, the number of patients with AF significantly increases. It is associated with an increase of life expectancy and frequency of cardiovascular pathologies. Treatment of AF remains one of the most difficult tasks of modern cardiology. Currently, only a few antiarrhythmic drugs are available for use in Russia. More and more new attempts are being made to create a universal antiarrhythmic drug with a high level of anti-relapsing efficacy and adverse effects. The accumulated information suggests that the tactics of management of patients with arrhythmias will be intended to improving the new surgical and interventional treatment methods with use of anticoagulants and antiarrhythmic drugs. The multidisciplinary team of specialists on AF treatment should include an expert (cardiologist) in antiarrhythmic drug therapy, an interventional electrophysiologist, and a cardiac surgeon — master the technology of interventional or surgical ablation. Effective interaction of specialists of various levels will improve the results of rhythm control and prevention of complications in patients with AF.
Influence of dielectric flushing conditions during WEDM of TiNiCu shape memory alloys
Authors: Roy Abhinaba , Sanna Yellappa Narendranath
Published: June 2019

In this study, the effect of dielectric flushing pressure and direction on the machining responses of wire electrodischarge machining (WEDM) was investigated. Vacuum-melted titanium–nickel–copper (TiNiCu) shape memory alloy Ti50Ni25Cu25, homogenized at 500°C, was used as the workpiece material. The flushing pressure was varied from 0·5 to 1·5 kg/cm2 along with pulse-on time (T on), pulse-off time (T off), servo voltage and wire feed rate for Taguchi’s L27 experiments. Cutting rate (CR) and kerf width were selected as major WEDM responses, and at optimal CR, the effect of the flushing direction on surface characteristics was studied. It was found that the surface morphology depended mainly on process parameter values and was greatly affected by the flushing pressure. Also, the amount of molten and resolidified debris on samples, machined with the upward-direction flow, was much higher compared with that for the downward-direction flow.
Dynamic properties of EPS-sand mixtures using cyclic triaxial and bender element tests
Authors: Alaie R. , Jamshidi Chenari R.
Published: June 2019

In this study, a series of strain-controlled cyclic triaxial as well as bender element tests are carried out, so that the dynamic properties of mixtures of sand and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads can be assessed under large and small-scale shear strains, respectively. The effect of various parameters such as shear strain amplitude, confining pressure (25 kPa, 50 kPa and 100 kPa) and EPS weight content (up to 2% by weight) on the small strain shear modulus, secant shear modulus and damping ratio is investigated. Laboratory results indicated that the values of shear velocity and shear modulus obtained from the bender element tests decrease with increasing EPS content. The results also revealed that the damping and shear modulus of the samples are highly dependent on the weight percentage of EPS, such that the increase in EPS content results in the increase of damping ratio up to 100% or even more under constant confining pressure. On the contrary, for all the values of confining pressure, the shear modulus of the mixture undergoes a significant reduction with increasing EPS content. Moreover, it is shown that the confining pressure has a important impact on both the soil damping ratio and shear modulus.
Design development post contract signing in New Zealand: client’s or contractor’s cost?
Authors: Finnie David , Ameer Ali Naseem , Park Kenneth
Published: June 2019

By offering fixed-price contracts for designs supplied by clients, contractors legally warrant that they can build what has been designed and do so within their fixed price. Yet detailed drawings are often issued during construction in response to contractors’ requests for information on the basis that they cannot otherwise build what has been designed. Claim-entitlement decisions are often made by construction professionals (architects, engineers and quantity surveyors) without legal training in contractual interpretation, potentially varying who pays for design development after contract signing, contractors or clients. Prior studies have addressed buildability obligations relating to ground conditions and foundations. This study applies key principles of contract law to consider who should pay for instructed drawing details post contract signing under the New Zealand standard NZS 3910:2013, ‘Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering construction’, in terms of (a) when a variation claim may be accepted; (b) the effect of contractor involvement on design development; and (c) the effect if claimed from a building subcontractor to a consultant manager (no head contractor). A claim-entitlement flow chart and a table comparing the head contractor’s and consultant construction manager’s obligations provide practical guides for contract administrators. Identifying terms prone to interpretation informs contract drafters towards reducing ambiguity for contract users and therefore the potential for dispute.

“Los Músicos”: Mexican Corridos, the Aural Border, and the Evocative Musical Renderings of Transnational Youth
Authors: de los RÍOS CATI V.
Published: June 2019

In this research article, Cati V. de los Ríos examines US-Mexican transnational youths' engagement with the Mexican musical genre corridos, border folk ballads, and its subgenre, narcocorridos, folk ballads that illuminate elements of the drug trade and often glamorize drug cartels. She draws from ethnographic methods to present empirical knowledge of four young musicians' critical readings of these genres and their place-making and community-binding practices across their public high school. She demonstrates how these transnational youth draw from their communicative practices to construct meaningful communities on their school campus and details how their evocative musical school performances serve as a cultural resistance to contemporary anti-migrant sentiments. Rather than positioning youth consumption of narcocorridos as simply a “deviant” activity, the findings argue that youth engage critically, intellectually, and aesthetically with narcocorridos as a popular culture practice and that some songs carry important transnational critiques and lessons on capitalism, state-sanctioned violence, and globalization.
Asian Americans, Affirmative Action, and the Political Economy of Racism: A Multidimensional Model of Raceclass Frames
Authors: POON OIYAN A. , SEGOSHI MEGAN S. , TANG LILIANNE , SURLA KRISTEN L. , NGUYEN CARESSA , SQUIRE DIAN D.
Published: June 2019

Utilizing a critical raceclass theory of education, OiYan A. Poon and colleagues analyze interviews with Asian Americans who have publicly advocated for or against affirmative action and acknowledged how their understandings of racial capitalism informed their perspectives and actions. Limited research has considered Asian American subjectivity in examining what shapes their diverse perspectives on affirmative action. This study adds to research on the racial politics of the debate, which has increasingly centered Asian Americans and their interests, and introduces a multidimensional model of raceclass frames representing different political perspectives and choices around affirmative action: abstract liberalism, ethnocentric nationalism, conscious compromise, and systemic transformation. The model offers insights on Asian American frames and ideologies of racism, capitalism, and education to account for their divergent political perspectives and choices in the affirmative action debate.

Published: June 2019

Los contextos de la vida diaria refuerzan en los estudiantes el interés por aprender a la vez que permiten aplicar los aprendizajes fuera del aula. En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta para evaluar la capacidad de argumentación de los estudiantes mediante el uso de rúbricas. Las actividades de evaluación forman parte de un programa formativo cuya finalidad es transmitir ciertos valores y conocimientos sobre el consumo de agua embotellada, a la vez que trabajar la argumentación científica. En concreto, se muestra un esquema de análisis de la dificultad de las actividades de argumentación basándose en dos aspectos: el grado de familiarización de los estudiantes con el contenido científico implicado en cada una de ellas y la procedencia de las pruebas necesarias para construir un argumento científico. Finalmente, se plantea como hipótesis una progresión didáctica para mejorar la capacidad de argumentación científica a partir de los datos obtenidos con estudiantes de tercero de ESO.

Published: June 2019

The correct information about of the vaginal microflora plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections among women. Disbalance of obligate and facultative microflora causes disbacteriosis, a risk factor for emergence of infectious diseases. It is known that the cause of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is not a single pathogen but a impairments in of the general balance of the vaginal microflora, which manifests a decrease of the normal microflora (Lactobacillus spp) and intense increase of pathogenic aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The development of molecular genetic analysis methods, in particular, approaches based on the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), significantly expanded understanding of the diversity of microbial biotopes, including identification of the key and new «players» in the development of BV. The aim of our study was to evaluate the performance of real-time PCR kit «Femoscreen» («Lytech», Russia) for comprehensive BV diagnosis.
Du français, dlalang et des poèmes incorrects : langage et poétique chez Katalin Molnár
Authors: Bourassa Lucie
Published: June 2019

Le présent article aborde le rapport entre théorie du langage et poétique dans les « entours » — articles, manifestes, entrevues, préfaces et notes — de l’œuvre de Katalin Molnár, poète française d’origine hongroise. Depuis Mallarmé, nombreux sont les poètes français qui ont déploré les « défauts des langues », assignant à la poésie la tâche de les pallier. Si Molnár reprend certaines doléances de ses prédécesseurs, par exemple sur l’arbitraire linguistique et sur le rapport entre communication et pouvoir, sa théorie se démarque à maints égards des leurs. Et les solutions poétiques qu’elle propose manifestent un déplacement par rapport à la tradition : elle cherche moins à remédier aux défauts de la langue qu’à les exhiber, à jouer avec les manques, les stéréotypies, les pauvretés de la parole.AbstractThis article approaches the Relationship between language theory and poetics in the margins (articles, manifestos, interviews, prefaces and footnotes) of Katalin Molnár’s work. Since the end of 19th century, many poets, following Mallarmé, have complained about imperfections of languages, and assigned to poetry the aim of compensating for their defaults. Molnár, a French writer born and educated in Hungary, take up some of her predecessors’ complaints: she laments, for instance, the arbitrary character of language and the relationship between communication and power. But her theory shows also many differences from theirs. And the poetic “solutions” she puts forward bring something new in this tradition: she doesn’t try so much to remedy language imperfections as to expose them and to play with the deficiencies, the stereotypes, the poverties of speech.
The Role of Feminist Standpoint and Intersectionality Epistemologies in Providing Insights into the Causes of Gender Disparity in Higher Education
Authors: Norgbey Enyonam Brigitte
Published: June 2019

Higher education plays a critical role in society’s development, particularly in the current era of globalization in which knowledge-based innovations are critical for development. However, women’s underrepresentation in higher education remains a persistent issue of concern, particularly, in sub-Saharan Africa. The gender gap in higher education is created by complex interconnected sets of deep-rooted factors. A clear understanding of the underlying causes of gender inequality in higher education is necessary to develop effective interventions to overcome this disparity. Feminist standpoint and feminist intersectionality epistemologies have been used to provide insights into gender disparities in higher education. Drawing on existing published literature, I will discuss the conceptual and theoretical frameworks of these two feminist epistemologies and explore the methodological implications of these epistemologies for critically examining gender disparities in higher education in the context of sub-Saharan Africa.

Independencia de los comités de ética en investigación en salud, un análisis reflexivo
Authors: Trillos-Peña Carlos Enrique
Published: June 2019

Los errores históricos en investigación médica llevaron al mundo a la creación de los comités de ética en investigación en salud (CEI), que son organizaciones pluri y multidisciplinarias con profesionales de variadas competencias, especialidades y formas de pensamiento, cuya función es evaluar proyectos de investigación y su ejecución, con independencia para garantizar protección de los participantes e integridad científica. El presente artículo realiza una reflexión sobre la independencia de los comités, que se fundamenta en las categorías independencia, libertad y autonomía, en los principios bioéticos de Beauchamp y Childress, de Maliandi y Thüer aplicados a los CEI y publicaciones que han tratado el tema. Sobre la independencia de los comités, se concluye su importancia, la cual está relacionada con los miembros de los CEI, investigadores, financiadores, entes reguladores, e instituciones a las que pertenecen los CEI -educativas, de salud o centros de investigación públicos y privados-, con metas asociadas a investigaciones, publicaciones y contratos para evaluación de proyectos. Si bien es cierto hay compromiso institucional de respaldo a la independencia de los CEI, es necesario revisar cómo funciona en la realidad, cómo se relaciona con dilemas bioéticos, cómo se articula con los principios de respeto a la autonomía–individualidad, justicia–universalidad, no maleficencia–conservación y beneficencia–realización, con la ética convergente y cuál es el concepto de expertos que han investigado sobre el particular. Conclusión: En la actualidad no es posible garantizar la independencia de los CEI, para lo que se deben definir medidas y estrategias adicionales que la fortalezcan.
Los CNB como herramienta para el fortalecimiento de la democracia
Authors: Vidal Susana María
Published: June 2019

El título de este Seminario Internacional es particularmente provocativo si se tiene en cuenta que el surgimiento y desarrollo de los Comités y Comisiones Nacionales de Bioética, (CNB) ha acompañado el arribo de nuevas y más complejas innovaciones tecnológicas y biomédica, dejándonos la sospecha de que, en ocasiones fueran creados precisamente para ser funcionales a los mismos adelantos que pretenden evaluar críticamente, es decir, que se cree un sistema completo de evaluación ética que finalmente esté al servicios de los intereses y objetivos que impulsan las tecnociencias o la biomedicina, muchas veces sin que las personas involucradas se den muy bien cuenta de ello.Este trabajo pretende plantear algunos temas que surgen del proceso de desarrollo de los CNB y algunos interrogantes en relación a su legitimidad, integridad y sustentabilidad, ofreciendo una visión problematizadora de estos puntos desde las propuestas que ofrece UNESCO y también desde algunos desarrollos teóricos surgidos en América Latina que se constituyen en un aporte iluminador para las propuestas que se han extendido desde los países centrales de modo casi acrítico.

Published: June 2019

Classic lissencephaly is a rare and serious brain malformation classified in type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is associated with mutations in the human LIS1 gene, which are numerous and constantly discovered. We present a case of isolated fetal ventriculomegaly with subsequent and unexpected diagnosis of neonatal lissencephaly. The clinical manifestation does not match the genotype, often associated with cerebellar hypoplasia.

Background: The removal of the lower impacted third molar teeth is always associated with varying degrees of inflammation that may have a social impact for the patients. To control these symptoms associated, it is necessary to provide an adequate anti-inflammatory therapy. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of pre-operative single dose of 8 mg oral Dexamethasone on pain, swelling, trismus following impacted lower third molar surgery. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at MGPGI puducherry. Hundred patients with bilateral mandibular molar impaction were included in the study. Patient was allocated randomly as study and control group. Study group received 8 mg oral Dexamethasone one hour prior the surgical extraction. Patients with contraindication to the use of steroids were excluded from the study. Pain, facial contour and mouth opening were measured preoperatively and at 2nd and 5th days postoperatively.Results: On 2nd post-operative day, no statistically significant differences were noted in pain for both the groups. However, low pain scores were obtained with the use of Dexamethasone compare to placebo group. Dexamethasone group showed shows statistically significant reduction in swelling and trismus compared with the control group at all intervals.Conclusion: Dexamethasone 8 mg given orally one hour preoperatively is effective in minimizing pain, swelling, and trismus after removal of impacted lower third molar teeth.
‘De meest efficiënte kip ter wereld’. De Nederlandse legkippenfokkerij in de twintigste eeuw

The most efficient chicken in the world’. Breeding for eggs in the Netherlands in the twentieth centuryThis paper analyses the development of chicken breeding for eggs in the Netherlands in the twentieth century. The Dutch poultry sector was of only marginal significance early in the century, yet after the Second World War it developed into the most industrialised segment of animal husbandry. The introduction of scientific breeding methods played a central role in this, as well as the increasing dominance of specialised commercial breeding companies.While scientists and agricultural engineers developed several innovative approaches to breeding that helped increase egg production significantly, we argue that the methods on which these approaches were based – inbreeding, hybridising, selection and progeny testing – had been used by animal breeders since the eighteenth century. Scientists succeeded in increasing the efficiency of these methods by introducing the quantitative and statistical instruments of quantitative genetics; the new Mendelian theory was of little practical use in this respect. Hybrid breeding methods were also shaped by the commercial interests of breeding companies.In the Netherlands the rise of the poultry industry was slowed down for several decades by the government’s policy to protect the interest of smallholders, yet after the establishment of the EEC this protectionism was dispensed with. As an example of the role of commercial companies we discuss the early history of Hendrix Genetics, a Dutch-based breeding company that is now one of the two multinational enterprises that dominate the breeding market for egg-laying chicken worldwide.
Het Mundomotorium van Willem Gleuns en Hendrik Deutgen

Published: June 2019

The Mundomotorium of Willem Gleuns and Hendrik DeutgenIn 1854 Willem Gleuns Jr (1808-1881), a mathematics and physics teacher from the City of Groningen, and Hendrik Deutgen (1816-1887), a laboratory assistant at Groningen University, applied for a recommendation from the Dutch Minister of the Interior for their ‘Mundomotorium ’, a didactic appliance to be used in astronomy lessons at secondary schools. On behalf of the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, the astronomer Frederik Kaiser, director of the Leiden Observatory, examined the instrument and reported to the minister. In October 1854 the minister informed Gleuns that he saw no reason to recommend their instrument for educational purposes. In January 1855 a critical article on the instrument by Jean A.C. Oudemans, observer at the Leiden Observatory, was published in the journal Vaderlandsche Letteroefeningen. Not until the year 2000 the instrument and the accompanying manual were found in the attic of a secondary school in Hengelo, The Netherlands. So far, this instrument has appeared to be the only surviving Mundomotorium. In this article we introduce the instrument and the men who developed it. We also discuss the views of contemporary scientists on the use of didactic instruments in astronomy lessons in secondary schools, in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Inleiding: Johannes Hudde (1628–1704), ‘groot ende onvergelykelyk wiskunstenaar’
Authors: Jorink Eric , Zuidervaart Huib
Published: June 2019

In this introduction to this special issue of Studium devoted to Johannes Hudde, member of an Amster- dam family of patricians, it is argued that most of Hudde’s achievements in mathematics, optics, medi- cine and philosophy were related to a Cartesian research program that became fashionable in Dutch Republic the 1650s and 1660s. Hudde foremost owes his ‘claim to fame’ to his mathematical discover- ies, as published in the Latin translation and elaboration by Leiden Professor Van Schooten Junior of Descartes’ new geometry. However, Hudde is also known as the inventor of the single lens microscope and was also active as an author in the controversy on the Copernic system, which played central role in Descartes’ Natural Philosophy. In 1666 Hudde was also one of Spinoza’s correspondents, asking Spi- noza’s about the nature of the Creator, and sharing his knowledge about the construction of telescope lenses. After having become a regent in 1667, Hudde used his scientific skills in several advisory roles, for instance as an Amsterdam Mayor and a Director of the Dutch East India Company. In that capacity he also became a patron of the arts and the sciences.
