The effectiveness of tensegrity massage in case pain symptoms after fall
Authors: Wilk Iwona
Published: December 2019

Background: Falls in elderly age generate huge geriatric problems, especially, because of the consequences. External and internal factors lie among the causes of the falls. The outcomes are most frequently the orthopedic ones, such as, bone fractures, sprains in joint areas and injuries of various soft tissues. The second ones stem from the ageing process, existing diseases or/and pharmacotherapy side effects. The injuries cause serious mobility limitations and affect the independence in daily activities. Thus, constant motivation in elderly people, to rehabilitate and remain active, becomes most essential.Material and methods: The purpose of this study is to present the methodology of therapeutic massage (tensegrity) in the case of pain symptoms and mobility limitations in the arm joint after a fall. In the course of the research six 30-minute-massage sessions were performed twice a week.Results: After the therapy the decrease in pain in the shoulder girdle area and the upper extremity was achieved. The mobility of the shoulder and elbow joint was improved. Every day activities became easier.Conclusions: In the case of pain symptoms in connective tissues which occur after the falls a massage appears to be a good solution. When the pain becomes less troublesome, there is a possibility to continue physiotherapy in order to restore the patient’s mobility and independence. It allows him/her to come back to their hobbies and interests which improves the psychological condition as well and gives more motivation to further activity.
HEART RATE VARIABILITY AS THE ADAPTATION RESERVE INDICATOR OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Authors: Kotava Aksana , Senko Vasily , Shishko Ruslan
Published: December 2019

Background: The efectiveness of the vegetative regulation action might be controlled by the method of heart rate variability (HRV), which has been very popularly used over the last 10 years worldwide. The analysis of many clinical studies indicates that the severity of the disease might be controlled using the method of HRV.Material and methods: All the experimental and controlled group participants, which consisted of healthy students with none sports experience, underwent the examination according to the 5-minute standard protocol of HRV. In addition, all the examinees performed a bicycle stress test. After the bicycle stress test, some additional tests of HRV were also carried out.Results: It was found that some signifcant diferences, between the group of sportsmen and the group of patients, exist. The parasympathetic activity of LF is maximum in athletes and tends to decrease in patients with cardiovascular pathologies. The decreases of the activity of the vasomotor centre was noticed in both study groups. The sympathetic system activity was the lowest in athletes.Conclusions: At the high depression of the vegetative regulation, any signifcant load (physical or psycho-emotional) indicates cardiovascular instability which remains beyond the capacity of adaptation. The higher the variability, the more stable the CVS is to the external loads. A sharp decrease of the variability, such as the heart vegetative innervations, causes deteriorating quality of the regulatory mechanisms and, as a result, the risk of cardiovascular diseases increases.Keywords: heart rate variability, deterministic and stochastic loads, cardiovascular system
Functions and responsibilities performed by the registered nurse over the patient fed enterally in the intensive care unit
Authors: Szlenk-Czyczerska Elżbieta
Published: December 2019

Background: Nutrition of patients in intensive care units is a part of the treatment process. Enteral nutrition involves administration of nutrients into the gastrointestinal tract through the fstula or tube inserted into the stomach, duodenum or small intestine. All-day running of enteral nutrition, the replacement of receptacles, fushing tubes, the surveillance and early detection and prevention of complications belong to the responsibilities of nurses. Patients fed enterally require continuous, intensive care implemented by the nursing staf.Aim of the study: Presentation of the functions and tasks performed by nurses in the care of the patient fed enterally and complications related to their nutrition.Material and methods: The study was conducted using observation of activities and functions of the team of nurses who took care of 25 patients nourished enterally in the intensive care unit in Opole as well as the analysis of the medical records concerning the treatment of these patients.Results: Most patients under investigation were at the age of 60-70 (40%). Metabolic (51,6%) and food (37,3%) complications accounted for the most frequent duties of the nurses. During the follow-up activities nurses performed patients' own hygiene activities, nursing, and medical care, diagnostics and monitoring. The largest group of activities consisted of patients' own hygiene activities (67,9%), whereas the least frequent were nursing operations (3,1%).Conclusions: Studies show that nurses perform a number of functions and tasks in the care of patietnts fed enterally. In order to improve efciency and safety and reduce the number of complications, nursing teams of nutritional therapy ought to be appointed for the beneft of the hospital with intensive care units. Knowledge of the nursing team must constantly be extended through training in enteral nutrition.Keywords: enteral feeding, intensive therapy, activities

Authors: Palisa Manuela
Published: December 2019

Background: Bruxism is a dysfunction which constitutes a health threat causing an uncontrolled gnashing and gritting of one's teeth. This relevant health problem concerns a signifcant part of the population, however, only a few seem to be aware of this.Aim of the study: The assessment of the level of knowledge about bruxism among PHC nurses.Material and methods: The research tool was a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions. The study was conducted from January to March 2014. One hundred nurses working in 18 primary health care clinics and school medicine in Silesian and Opole voivodeships took part in it, after delivering the consent from the institutions where they are employed.Results: 52% of respondents rated their level of knowledge about bruxism as average, 24% found it too low, 15% of respondents had no knowledge of the subject, while 6% of the respondents assessed their level of knowledge as high.Conclusions: In the future, the study about bruxism ought to be extended, especially among district nurses who are in contact with PHC patients. It is necessary to pay attention to its prevention, especially the ways of coping with stress and the awareness of patients that the disorder might be a fact.Keywords: bruxism, parafunctions, PHC nurses
Forgotten obstetric procedures
Authors: Kubicki Janusz
Published: December 2019

In the Medieval Times every third woman died during labour. The labour was assessed by uneducated women called ‘wise crones’, therefore, the procedure was called ‘croning’. It was not until Renaissance, when men were accepted as obstetricians. Then, the medics who were familiar with the anatomy joined to the profession along with well-educated surgeons who introduced a number of obstetric procedures, most of which have already been forgotten for a long time. There were two key moments in the development of modern obstetrics, namely, the introduction of forceps delivery by Chamberlane and Palfyn and the execution of the Caesarean section (C-section). In the case of breech presentation, the use of breech hooks and Wincle-Martin-Wiganda procedure were completely withdrawn along with external rotations. Only twofnger rotation, in the case of premature labour and incomplete cervical dilatation, is still used. Internal rotations, in the cases of complete dilatation, are performed only during the delivery of the second baby in twin pregnancy when the second foetus remains in horizontal position, after the delivery of the frst twin. One of the most signifcant moments in obstetric history was also the procedure performed by a midwife Justyna Siegemundin who turned the foetus in the uterus holding its foot with the use of a special obstetric tape. The procedures of craniotomy (reducing the foetal head size), cleidotomy (reducing the foetal shoulder girdle size by cutting the collarbone), exenteratio (reducing the foetal trunk size) or decapitation (cutting of the foetal head) are never used any longer. The procedures of symphysiotomy (cutting the symphysis) or Schuhardt’s extensive uterine muscle incision have also been suspended. Last but not least obstetric procedure, which is not used contemporarily, is the Fritsch’s grip used to stop atonic postpartum haemorrhage.

Epidemiological studies as a basis of information for diagnosis of the allergic diseases of the respiratory system and skin of the children 6–7 and 13–14 years in the Grodno region
Authors: Shpakou Andrei
Published: December 2019

Background: Widespread, medical and social consequences, impact on quality of life and the significant cost of allergic diseases justify a number of measures for the prevention of diseases. What is clear is that official statistics may not match the true prevalence of allergic diseases in general, especially asthma. Aim of the study: Estimate the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases, the main symptoms of allergic and respiratory among urban and rural children aged 6–7 years and 13–14 years in the Grodno region carried out in accordance with internationally recognized research methodology. Material and methods: The survey questionnaire (based on a survey ISAAC) 2187 was attended by parents of children 6–7 years and 13–14 years of Grodno and region (1091 children from the city, and in 1096 from the village). 955 children aged 6–7 years, 1232 at the age of 13–14 years. Knowing this with asthma may be suspected in patients, who feel shortness of breath accompanied by wheezing, tightness in the chest or cough and allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis), analyzed the incidence of these symptoms and diseases among children.Results: Demonstrated a low incidence of asthma among children in the age group of standardized. Parents of 30 children (1.37% respondents) confirms the existence of disease in children under physician diagnose disease. Prevalence of asthma among urban children was 1.74% (19 people) and rural – 1.0% (11 children). With a deeper analysis of responses established with 60 children (2.74%) had in the last 12 months wheezing in the chest and coughing. The incidence of allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis is about 4% and 10%. These diseases often found only among children with asthma. Conclusions: Since the identification of asthma in children based on the diagnosis by the doctor is not high, can’t be excluded that this reflects a failure to recognize the disease. Noted marked differences in the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, manifesting linking asthma and asthma with allergic diseases. It seems necessary to continuously monitor these phenomena through the continuation of epidemiolog-ical studies as a basis for the development of information and implementation of prevention programs and epidemiological evaluation of the effectiveness of prevention at regional and international.
Pain, depression and anxiety in patients after stroke
Authors: Janas Teresa
Published: December 2019

Background: Pain, fear, depression often accompany patients as complications after stroke. They can usually take the shape of patients’ defensive reaction, who must struggle with physical and psychical consequences of stroke. Degree of those feelings’ intensity and the reactions related to them are indi-vidual for every patient.Aim of the study: The aim of the research was to determine the effect of post-stroke pain on the daily functioning of the patient and determine whether anxiety and depression determine the effects of treatment and return to activities of daily living after stroke.Material and methods: Research instruments were: an author’s questionnaire and the research scales (SOPL, Lawton’s IADL Scale, Katz Index and Doloplus Pain Scale). The study sample consisted of 31 patients from the Rehabilitation Department in Saint Roch Hospital in Ozimek. The research was carried out from October 2013 to March 2014. Results: The feeling of the fear and depressed appeared among 41.93% (13) patients and it was in the limit of normality. Symptoms of depression appeared among 6% (2) of respondents. The pain occurred among 90% (28) of patients, however, in the opinion of the patients did not constitute a serious obstacle to the continuation of the rehabilitation and daily functioning. The Katz Index revealed that 58% (18) of the patients did not need help with basic activities of daily life.Conclusions: Pain, anxiety, and depression had no significant effect on the course of the rehabilitation of patients in the study group. The pain did not decrease significantly physical activity. Potential problems with the daily functioning of patients through the process of rehabilitation, have been largely eliminated.

Authors: Wilk Iwona
Published: December 2019

Background: The carpal tunnel syndrome is a neuralgia of the median nerve of the hand caused by permanent pressure which results in sensation and motion disturbances in the area. Principal symptoms include pain in the hand and wrist, numbness and tingling of the fingers, sensation dysfunctions, and finally, the limitation of mobility and manual flexibility of the hand. The discomfort leads to a significant decrease in the patient’s quality of life. In case of carpal tunnel syndrome surgical and non-surgical treatments with selected elements of physiotherapy are applied. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to present and evaluate possible methods of treatment such as massage therapy and lymphatic drainage as the form of post-surgery treat-ment in carpal tunnel syndrome.Material and methods: The young woman with the carpal tunnel syndrome after the surgical treatment received 50-minute lymphatic drainage (three sessions) and 30-minute therapeutic massage (four sessions). The procedures were performed every two days.Results: After the application of both kinds of massage in appropriate sequence, the following changes have been notified. The swelling in the area of the hand was reduced and the patient reported definite decrease of pain.Conclusions: The massage might be one of the forms of therapy used after surgical treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome, especially when the symptoms occur. It is also often effective with other components of physiotherapy as non-surgical treatment.
The Phenomena of social pathology among minors within the period of 1999–2012 as a result of famiLy dysfunction
Authors: Gosztyła Małgorzata
Published: December 2019

Over the last decade, the crime rate among young people has been rising, which may be caused by the growing dysfunctionality of the family. The aim of this work is to show the range of juvenile crime in recent years and the way in which the dysfunctionality of the family influences this phenomenon. To analyze the phenomenon of juvenile crime, the statistics of the Regional Police Headquarters in Opole in years 1999–2012 have been used. The analysis of the statistics has shown that over these years, the crime rate among young people has been rising and in 2012 it reaches 8.4% of all crimes. It is becoming apparent that the dysfunctionality of modern family influences the development of crime among young people. Modern dysfunctionality is not understood merely as orphanhood or half-orphanhood but more as a deep crisis of educational family values. What has been disturbed is the structure of families without considering it just at the level of parents’ physical presence at home but at the level of bonds, goals, norms which family should bring while shaping a young person, citizen and which it currently develops.
The history of greatest anatomical discoveries
Authors: Kubicki Janusz
Published: December 2019

21st century medicine is an empirical and best developing study in each of its fields. Based on the experience and discoveries conducted by researchers throughout its rich history, contemporary medicine relies on pure facts. Hippocrates was the father of human anatomy and medical backgrounds. He described the body fluids, the heart and some other internal organs. One of the most prominent researchers in the field of anatomy was also a Roman physician – Galen. He described the heart anatomy and the cardiovascular system in details. However, the biggest contribution to the heart examination was done by a medical specialist from London – William Harvey. It was him, who discovered the pumping work of the organ, not the sucking one, as it was previously believed. Simultaneously, the examinations on anatomy and physiology of reproductive organs were carried out, which can be found in the Egyptian papyrus from Kahun and the Ebers papyrus. Not only Hippocrates was engaged in the studies, but the greatest ancient obstetrician Soranus of Ephezus, as well. Further anatomical discoveries included the description of the role of oviducts (Fallopian tubes) by Gabrielle Falloppio, the ovarian follicle by Graaf and the bone structure of the pelvis, which was considered to be the most essential during labour (William Smellie, Gustaw Michaelis, Theodor Litzmann).
The effectiveness of therapeutic massage in lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome – case study
Authors: Wilk Iwona
Published: December 2019

Background: The spine pain syndrome is a common problem in a substantial part of the population which currently affects younger and younger people. The underlying risk factors include the character of work, sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. Except for complex physiotherapy which should be applied during treatment, a lifestyle prophylaxis also seems to be a key factor.
Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to present the possibility to use the classical and therapeutic massage of the back, and a lymphatic drainage of lower limbs in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome accompaniedby the lower limb swelling.
Material and methods: A young woman with the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome received a 55-minute lymphatic drainage (four sessions), a 30-minute classical massage (four sessions) and a 45-minute therapeutic massage (two sessions). All the procedures were performed every two days.
Results: After the application of all kinds of the massage, selected individually to current symptoms and needs of the patient, the pain in the area of the spine was relieved. After the therapy the pressure pain in the back muscles such as: latissimus dorsi (lats), trapezius (traps) and spinal erectors was also decreased. The swelling in the area of the lower limb was reduced and the patient reported general decrease of pain.
Conclusions: A massage may constitute an effective anti-pain therapy in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome. Combined with educating patients about proper motor habits might prevent similar pain symptoms in the future.
Prevention of travelers’ diarrhea in adults
Authors: Ksiądzyna Dorota
Published: December 2019

Travellers’ diarrhoea is defined as a set of signs and symptoms caused by an acute gastrointestinal tract infection that affect people travelling outside their place of residence (usually abroad to the countries of lower hygiene standards, especially to the tropics and the subtropical regions). Africa, Central and South America as well as Asia are the highest-risk destinations. Travellers’ diarrhoea is believed to be the most frequent travel-related health problem. Despite of the fact that this is usually a mild and self-limiting medical condition, it may interfere with the individual defined travel-related objectives, for example relaxation or business. The aim of this review is to present the basic preventive methods of travellers’ diarrhoea in generally healthy adults such as adherence to hygiene recommendations, chemoprevention and vaccinations.
Cardboard as a construction material for temporary architecture: a case study
Authors: Jasiołek Agata
Published: December 2019

The topic of this article is cardboard as a construction material for temporary architecture: a case study of the Zbigniew Herbert Exhibition Pavilion. The Pavilion was designed and built by a group of 18 students at the course ProtoLAB at the Faculty of Architecture at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in July 2018. The project focused on constructing Pavilion components out of paper tubes and corrugated cardboard, which have been proven to be a promising building material. Wood-based materials also were used to strengthen the construction. The design of the Pavilion aimed to use the geometry of the components to minimize the amount of metal used to connect elements. The article focuses on the problems of paper’s strength, stability, connections, impregnation, and the way they have been solved during the building process. It also discusses the topic of the possibility of using the unimpregnated cardboard in outdoor constructions. The structure was then evaluated after 5 months of being used and exposed to diverse weather conditions. Damages in the Pavilion elements are mentioned in the paper and the probable reasons why they have appeared are explained. Conclusions from this article may be useful when designing similar objects in the future.

Published: December 2019

El presente artículo presenta una discusión crítica acera de la educación como un proceso en el aula pero también como una institución contextualizada en ámbitos más amplios. Las limitaciones y los desafíos afrontados por los educadores hen reducido la educación a un proceso orientado a lograr metas y resultados que a menudo reproducen las normas y el conocimiento de la sociedad. Sin embargo la pedagogía antiopresiva de Freire puede ser utilizada como una herramienta inspitadora y útil tanto para deconstruir como para reconstruir realidades otrora opresivas y tanto desde dentro como desde fuera de las aulas. Siguiendo una descripcion en profundidad de la conceptualizacion freireana de educación, el artículo concluye con una serie de implicaciones para educadores comprometidos con la justicia y con lo anti opresivo.This paper provides a critical discussion of education as a process in classroom but also as an institution within wider contextual structures. The limitations and challenges faced by educators have reduced education in a target/outcome focused process that reproduce societal norms and ‘knowledge’. However, the anti-oppressive pedagogy of Freire, it is argued, can be used as an inspirational and helpful tool to deconstruct and reconstruct oppressive reality within and outside class. Following an in depth description of Freire’s conceptualization of education, the paper concludes with a number of implications for educators who are committed to anti-oppression and social justice.
Actitudes hacia la diversidad. La discriminación y el estigma en estudiantes de trabajo social mexicanos
Authors: Rodríguez Otero Luis M. , Ávila Zárate Lydia Del Carmen
Published: December 2019

Socialmente ciertos rasgos o atributos son estructuralmente devaluados y generan procesos en los que se jerarquiza de forma inferior a quienes se etiquetan bajo dichas características. Generando así procesos de violación de los Derechos Humanos, discriminación y exclusión social que son producidos y reproducidos por la sociedad y sus estructuras. Partiendo de las encuestas mexicanas de discriminación ENADIS se construye una escala Likert para medir el grado de incomodidad hacia diversos estigmas y se propone identificar los motivos por los que se producen las respectivas actitudes. Para ello se ha tomado en consideración a 375 estudiantes mexicanos de Trabajo Social. Los resultados evidencian que la sexualidad y las cuestiones derivadas de la nacionalidad y la etnia son los rasgos más susceptibles al estigma. Así mismo se evidencia que el hecho de conocer a personas con dichos características, el sexo y el nivel formativos son determinantes.Socially certain traits or attributes are structurally devalued and generate processes in which it is ranked lower than those who are labeled under those characteristics. Thus generating processes of violation of Human Rights, discrimination and social exclusion that are produced and reproduced by society and its structures. Starting from the Mexican discrimination surveys ENADIS, a Likert scale is constructed to measure the degree of discomfort towards various stigmas and it is proposed to identify the reasons for the respective attitudes. For this, 375 Mexican students of Social Work have been taken into account. The results show that sexuality and issues derived from nationality and ethnicity are the most susceptible to stigma. Likewise, it is evident that the fact of knowing people with these characteristics, the sex and the formative level are determinant.

Authors: Zhu Jinyu
Published: December 2019

Jorge Luis Borges, uno de los maestros literarios más destacados del siglo XX, es un escritor nutrido de la literatura universal y con una amplísima erudición intercultural que le permite aglutinar diferentes sistemas filosóficos y culturales en sus obras. Este artículo analiza la influencia que marca la filosofía china en las obras borgeanas, especialmente la huella del taoísmo. El principal objetivo es interpretar esa influencia con exactitud y examinarla en profundidad, y a partir de esto, identificar las relaciones intrínsecas entre el legado intelectual chino y la cosmovisión borgeana. Tras el análisis de los ejemplos seleccionados, concluimos que la presencia de la filosofía china en la obra de Borges ha sido fuerte e innegable, sirviéndole a Borges de contrapunto desde el que edificar su singular y permanente “ficción”.ABSTRACTJorge Luis Borges, one of the most outstanding authors of the 20th century, is a writer nurtured by the universal literature. His vast intercultural erudition allows him to bring together different philosophical and cultural systems in his works. In this article we will analyze the influence of the Chinese philosophy on Borges’ works, especially the Taoism. The main objective is to interpret that influence accurately and to examine it deeply, as well as identify the intrinsic relations between the Chinese intellectual legacy and Borges’ worldview. Via analysis of selected examples, we conclude that the presence of the Chinese philosophy in Borges’ works has been strong and undeniable, as a counterpoint from which to build his unique and permanent “fiction”.
LA ACEDIA EN EL DECADENTISMO FINISECULAR DE HUYSMANS
Authors: Segura Zariquiegui Ainhoa
Published: December 2019

El Decadentismo es una corriente artística que nace a finales de siglo XIX en Francia (muy asociada a la figura de Baudelaire) y de allí se despliega al resto del mundo occidental. La obra en la que se basa este estudio es A contrapelo (Á rebours) de Joris-Karl Huysmans. La trama tiene muchas coincidencias con la vida de Beckford, (uno de los dandis más legendarios) y trata sobre el duque Floressas des Esseintes que se instala en un castillo para vivir en soledad. Su existencia sibarítica y decadente se va haciendo cada vez más lúgubre debido al spleen acidioso que padece hasta que vuelve a París para curarse de su estado melancólico. En este artículo se van a analizar los rasgos melancólicos de la acedia característica del Decadentismo enfocándonos en este trabajo de Huysmans.ABSTRACTThe Decadent Literature is an artistic style that was born at the end of the nineteenth century in France (very associated with Baudelaire) and from there it unfolds to the rest of the Western world. This article is based in Joris-Karl Huysmans (A contrapelo). The plot has many coincidences with the life of Beckford, one of the most legendary dandies. It is about an old dandy, the Duke Floressas des Inseines, which settles in a castle to live in solitude. His existence became more and more sad because of the spleen he suffers. The features on the acedia of the Decadent literature will be analyzed in this article.
HISTORIA Y SIGNIFICADOS DE LAS EXPRESIONES CON GERUNDIO Y CON EN + GERUNDIO
Authors: Mora García Javier
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo profundiza en los valores que presenta el gerundio latino y el comportamiento de las expresiones con esta forma verbal con y sin la preposición en en castellano, prestando especial atención a sus usos con significado temporal de simultaneidad y a otros no temporales emanados de este, ya que han recibido escasa atención en la bibliografía.Este hecho se refleja en los estudios sobre la relación de simultaneidad, por lo que se propuso redefinir el concepto y elaborar una nueva clasificación de tipos y subtipos para que, sobre un corpus de elaboración propia, se encajasen los testimonios hallados en las diferentes categorías. Esta metodología evita confeccionar ejemplos ad hoc y permite trabajar con la información de textos reales.ABSTRACTThis work delves into the values which the Latin gerund has and the performances of expressions that use this verbal form with and without the preposition en in Spanish, paying special attention to its uses with a temporal meaning of simultaneity and to other non-temporal ones which come from it because they have received little attention from the bibliography. This fact is reflected in simultaneity studies, so we have proposed to redefine this concept and develop a new classification of types and subtypes so that, based on a self-compiledthe testimonies found in the different categories could be fitted. This methodology avoids fabricating ad hoc examples and allows working with real texts.

LOS EFECTOS DE LA CENSURA FRANQUISTA: LA JUERGA (1957), UNA NOVELA INÉDITA DE ÁNGEL MARÍA DE LERA (1912-1984)
Authors: Jorge de Sande María del Mar
Published: December 2019

Ángel María de Lera (1912 – 1984), autor de éxito en las décadas del sesenta y setenta del pasado siglo, es en la actualidad un escritor apenas recordado y muy poco conocido. Y ello a pesar de ocupar un importante lugar en la Historia de la Literatura española gracias a Las últimas banderas (Premio Planeta 1967), una de las primeras novelas publicadas en España que trata sobre la Guerra Civil desde la perspectiva de un vencido. Muy poco conocidas son también las muchas dificultades que hubo de enfrentar para publicar algunas de sus obras a consecuencia de la censura.Con este artículo nos proponemos rescatar del olvido la novela La juerga [1957, 1961], sepultada en los archivos de la represión franquista durante casi sesenta años. Su análisis desde el punto de vista literario pondrá de manifiesto cómo el hecho de que esta novela quedara inédita constituye una grave mutilación en el conjunto de la obra de Lera; con el estudio de su expediente de censura esperamos arrojar luz sobre las posibles causas por las que a Lera le resultó imposible publicarla, al tiempo que confiamos en hacer una pequeña aportación a la reconstrucción del complejo entramado de la institución censoria. Kaum jemand erinnert sich heute noch an Ángel María de Lera (1912 – 1984), einen Erfolgsautor in den 60er und 70er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, kaum jemand kennt ihn überhaupt. Und dennoch hat er aufgrund seines Romans Las últimas banderas (Premio Planeta 1967) einen bedeutenden Platz in der Geschichte der spanischen Literatur inne, war es doch immerhin einer der ersten in Spanien veröffentlichten Romane, in denen es um den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg aus dem Blickwinkel eines Besiegten ging. Wenig sind auch die vielen Schwierigkeiten bekannt, denen sich Lera infolge der damals herrschenden Zensur bei der Veröffentlichung einiger seiner Werke ausgesetzt sah. Mit diesem Artikel soll der Roman La Juerga [1957, 1961] vor dem Vergessen bewahrt werden. Fast 60 Jahre lang war er begraben in den Archiven, in denen die Zeugnisse der franquistischen Unterdrückung aufbewahrt werden. Die literarische Analyse von La Juerga zeigt klar und deutlich, dass, diesen Roman dem Publikum weiterhin vorzuenthalten, dem Gesamtwerk von Lera schweren Schaden zufügen würde. Der genaue Blick in die Unterlagen der Zensurbehörde wird Licht werfen auf die möglichen Gründe, die dazu geführt haben, dass dieser Roman nicht veröffentlicht werden konnte, und so sicherlich einen  kleinen Beitrag dabei leisten, die komplexe Struktur der institutionalisierten Zensur zu rekonstruieren.

ERRORES GRAMATICALES EN LA EXPRESIÓN ESCRITA DE LOS GRIEGOS APRENDICES DE ELE: ANÁLISIS EN EL NIVEL B1
Authors: Rammou Eirini
Published: December 2019

En este estudio hemos seguido el modelo de Análisis de Errores que constituye una fuente de información importante en el ámbito de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido investigar los errores gramaticales que cometen con más frecuencia los aprendices griegos de español como lengua extranjera en la expresión escrita del nivel B1. Durante el proceso de aprendizaje los alumnos formulan hipótesis mediante la utilización de estrategias y mecanismos psicolingüísticos y por ello nuestro estudio ha profundizado además en la descripción de estas estrategias con el fin de detectar las causas que originan los errores. La clasificación de los errores se ha basado en el criterio lingüístico, descriptivo y etiológico. Los datos obtenidos provienen de producciones escritas reales de los aprendices griegos. Para el análisis hemos aplicado una investigación cuantitativa. En los resultados se proporcionan porcentajes de los errores frecuentes que hemos localizado. Tanto los resultados obtenidos de nuestro análisis e investigación como las conclusiones a las que hemos llegado resultan relevantes para la prevención de errores gramaticales y la optimización de la enseñanza del español a griegos.ABSTRACTIn this study we have followed the model of Error Analysis that constitutes an important source of information in the field of teaching-learning foreign languages. The aim of this study has been to investigate the grammatical errors most frequently made by Greek learners of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) in the written expression of the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). During the learning process, students formulate hypotheses through the use of strategies and psycholinguistic mechanisms, which is why our study also goes deeper into the description of these strategies in order to detect the causes that originate the errors. The classification of errors is based on linguistic, descriptive and etiological criteria. The data obtained come from real written productions of the Greek students. For the analysis we have applied a quantitative research. Percentages of the frequent errors we have located are given in the results. The results obtained from our analysis and research and also the conclusions we have reached are relevant for the prevention of grammatical errors and the optimization of teaching Spanish language to Greek learners.
EL HOLLYWOOD DE CHANDLER: LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UN IMAGINARIO CINEMATOGRÁFICO EN CLAVE NOIR
Authors: Gutiérrez José Ismael
Published: December 2019

La narrativa de Chandler, especialmente su novela The Little Sister, proporciona una visión distópica acerca de Hollywood durante el periodo de “sistema de estudios” de la industria cinematográfica norteamericana. Esta imagen desfavorable está en consonancia con los parámetros del género literario que cultivó el escritor: el género negro, que se caracteriza por el sórdido realismo, la presencia de villanos que rompen el orden establecido y la crítica social. La fusión de los códigos de esta modalidad narrativa que rezuma violencia con la ambigua actitud de Chandler ante la Meca del Cine daría como resultado la construcción de un universo criminal que revela muchos de los puntos débiles, ansiedades y conflictos de la colonia del cine hollywoodense.ABSTRACTChandler’s narrative, especially his novel The Little Sister, provides a dystopian view of Hollywood during the period of the studio system in the American film industry. This unfavorable image is in line with the parameters of the literary genre that the writer cultivated: the noir gender, which is characterized by sordid realism, the presence of villains that break the established order and social criticism. The fusion of the codes of this narrative modality that oozes violence with the ambiguous attitude of Chandler before the Mecca of Cinema will result in the construction of a criminal universe that reveals many of the weaknesses, anxieties and conflicts of the film colony of Hollywood.

« Une publication pour dénoncer, sans plus »

Au cours des dernières années, les chercheurs ont observé l’émergence de communautés sur des sites Web permettant les interactions sociales, dont le groupe Anonymous. Dans la littérature, les avis sont partagés quant à la vraie nature de ce groupe. Certains mentionnent que ce sont des délinquants anarchistes, d’autres affirment qu’il s’agit d’une simple communauté en ligne partageant les mêmes idéologies, et d’autres encore pensent que le groupe représente un mouvement social émergeant. Considérant qu’il est difficile de donner un portrait précis de ce qu’est le mouvement Anonymous et que très peu de connaissances sont disponibles à ce jour quant à sa dynamique, la présente recherche a pour principal objectif de brosser le portrait des communautés en ligne s’identifiant à Anonymous au Canada, et ce, en tenant compte des éventuelles différences d’une région à l’autre et d’un sous-groupe à l’autre. En analysant les publications Facebook de différentes pages s’identifiant à Anonymous au Canada, les types et les thèmes des publications les plus populaires ont été échantillonnés. L’analyse montre que tous les sous-groupes s’engagent de façon active dans la prise de position dans des débats sociaux et politiques. De plus, certains sous-groupes appellent plus que d’autres à la prise d’action concrète pour défendre leurs opinions, mais en général, la prise d’action est plutôt rare. Il semble que dans le contexte des communautés Facebook, il est difficile de voir que les sous-groupes d’Anonymous se distinguent de toutes les autres communautés destinées à dénoncer des situations conflictuelles dans la société.
THE IMPACT OF VEGETARIAN DIETS AND BODY MASS INDEX ON HYPERTENSION
Authors: Mariha Tri , Wiarsih Wiwin
Published: December 2019

A vegetarian diet is believed to prevent hypertension. This study aims to identify the impact of vegetarian diets, including fat, salt, potassium, and body mass index (BMI), on hypertension. Data was taken by systematic random sampling method from 173 vegetarians and analyzed using chi-square. The result showed that there is no significant association between the intake of fat, sodium, and potassium with hypertension in vegetarians (p> 0.05). However, there is a significant relationship between BMI with the incidence of hypertension (p= 0.025), where overweight res-pondents are 3.837 more likely to have hypertension (OR 3.837; 95% CI= 1,256–11,721). It implies that vegetarians tend to have a safe intake of fat, salt, and potassium, and therefore, this condition prevents hypertension. Thus, health promotion about the selection of sources of fat, regulation of salt, potassium intake, and weight management will be beneficial for vegetarians in preventing hypertension. Keywords: BMI, diet, hypertension, vegetarian Abstrak Dampak Diet Vegetarian dan Indeks Massa Tubuh terhadap Hipertensi. Diet vegetarian diyakini dapat mencegah hipertensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak diet vegetarian, meliputi asupan lemak, garam, kalium, dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) terhadap hipertensi. Data diperoleh melalui metode systematic random sampling pada 173 vegetarian dan dianalisis menggunakan chi-square. Tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara asupan lemak, garam, dan kalium pada vegetarian dengan hipertensi (p> 0.05). Namun, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara IMT dengan kejadian hipertensi (p= 0.025), dimana responden dengan berat badan berlebih 3.837 kali berpeluang lebih besar untuk mengalami hipertensi (OR 3.37; 95% CI= 1.256–11.721). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa vegetarian cenderung memiliki asupan lemak, garam, dan kalium yang aman sehingga kondisi ini dapat mencegah hipertensi. Dengan demikian, promosi kesehatan mengenai pemilihan sumber lemak, pengaturan asupan garam:kalium, dan manajemen berat badan akan sangat bermanfaat bagi vegetarian untuk mencegah hipertensi.  Kata kunci: diet, hipertensi, IMT, vegetarian
Interferon-β-induced miR-1 alleviates toxic protein accumulation by controlling autophagy

Appropriate regulation of autophagy is crucial for clearing toxic proteins from cells. Defective autophagy results in accumulation of toxic protein aggregates that detrimentally affect cellular function and organismal survival. Here, we report that the microRNA miR-1 regulates the autophagy pathway through conserved targeting of the orthologous Tre-2/Bub2/CDC16 (TBC) Rab GTPase-activating proteins TBC-7 and TBC1D15 in Caenorhabditis elegans and mammalian cells, respectively. Loss of miR-1 causes TBC-7/TBC1D15 overexpression, leading to a block on autophagy. Further, we found that the cytokine interferon-β (IFN-β) can induce miR-1 expression in mammalian cells, reducing TBC1D15 levels, and safeguarding against proteotoxic challenges. Therefore, this work provides a potential therapeutic strategy for protein aggregation disorders.

Published: December 2019

In this paper, we introduced and studied a new kind of generalized open set called τ1τ2-g-open set in a bitopological space (X, τ1, τ2). The properties of this τ1τ2-g-open set are studied and compared with some of the corresponding generalized open sets in general topological spaces and bitopological spaces. We also dened the τ1τ2-g-continuous function and studied some its properties.
Electron Transport Mechanism of Mitochondrial Respiratory Megacomplex
I2III2IV2
Authors: Yang Maojun
Published: December 2019

Respiration is the center of energy metabolism in mammals, and mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes play a major role in energy conversion. According to the high‐resolution structures of individual complexes and the assembled supercomplex resolved recently, we can now try to elucidate the electron transfer and coupled proton pumping mechanism at molecular level. Together with previously accumulated biochemical data, although an overall agreement on the electron pathways was reached, some vital details are still controversial, including the ubiquinone reduction manner in complex I and ubiquinol binding position in CIII. Besides, recently our group reported the first medium‐resolution structure of megacomplex from cultured human cells, showing that two sets of complex I, III, IV and even II may function in a coordinated manner, making the electron pathway even more complex. In this article, we discuss electron transfer between individual complexes in respirasome, describe the megacomplex model, and compare two different electron pathways inside complex III.
