Sensibilidad, afectividad y reflexión en las aulas: una carencia en la labor docente
Authors: Madríz Rojas Marco , Navarro Castro Stephanie
Published: September 2020

Sensitivity should be an intrinsic quality of teaching to achieve better interaction with students, recognizing them as persons. However, in our national education system, discourses aiming to approach students prevail, but they are rarely put into practice, leaving aside the emotional closeness and creating barriers that separate educators from their students to a great extent. In this regard, the promotion of comprehensive educational strategies is necessary from the teacher’s reflection to return a voice to the students and recognize their individual identity, so that education becomes a tool to achieve the personal development of learners.

Authors: Canales García Alba , España Chavarría Carolina
Published: September 2020

Case study conducted under the qualitative methodology and over the experience developed in the Professional Practice course. We wanted to study the perceptions of students regarding: the relevance of the promoted learning and its correspondence with the learning needs of the students as a key point to minimize the drop-out rate, the value given to the development of knowledge and the implementation of innovation initiatives that motivate students to conclude their university training. It is concluded that professional practice courses must become spaces for the construction of knowledge from which a profile is derived. This profile must meet the demands of significance, autonomy and relevance that contemporary society demands, all this as part of training initiatives aimed to minimized dropout rates in higher education.
Afinidad tecnológica del profesor universitario

Published: September 2020

Technological  affinity of faculty members of Higher Education (HE) is a determinant factor for  ICT integration in HE institutions. This paper presents a first approach to technological affinity of faculty members of computer science at “Universidad Veracruzana,” which is part of a project called Digital Divide into Universidad Veracruzana (UV), and we found common perceptions among the academic community -that we can understand as  a collective habitus, in terms of Bourdieu-. This habitus, in the case of faculty members of computer science is characterized by positive beliefs about the use of ICT in the academic functions such as research, teaching, management; perceptions about computer, laptop and Internet as key resources into their academic context; however, some perceptions of teachers fragment the habitus, as the lack of consideration on the use of mobile devices and other reservations about the use of ICT’s in the academic context.

In this article, the progress of an on-going exploratory-descriptive research is presented. It has the purpose to identify and analyze the use given to social media by young university students. The following are the results obtained from the implementation of a questionnaire to 594 bachelor students from the Universidad Veracruzana, Campus Xalapa. The progress shows, first, some coincidences with previous studies about the topic conducted in the past years, for example, the growing popularity of social media as means of communication and interaction amongst students. It is noticed that, in spite of coming from different social contexts, students share certain interests, attitudes and types of networks used, regardless of the bachelor they are enrolled to. Likewise, it is evidenced how social media are gaining ground as essential tools to support the performance of their academic activities. Additionally, the data shows that the behavior between women and men is similar. Nonetheless, slight differences were identified related to the use given to social media and the topics preferred by female and male university students. This study is considered to provide different analysis elements, setting a marker for the moment in which we are, to keep researching about the use given to by female and male students to social media in both academic and social environments.

Authors: R. Kalyani , C.V. Raghuveer , S.R. Sheela
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among females. P16 is the surrogate marker for cervical carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the association of P16 marker with clinic-pathological parameters in squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Histological confirmed cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of cervix were considered. All cases were evaluated for IHC P16 expression as per lower anogenital squamous terminology (LAST) criteria and correlated with clinico-pathological parameters. The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 22.

Results: Out of 75 cases, P16 biomarker expression was block positive, ambiguous and negative in 67 (89.3%), 5 (6.6%), and 3 (4%) cases, respectively. There was a significant association between P16 expression and age (p = 0.005). All cases between 30-59 years of age showed block positivity. There was no significant association between P16 expression and age at marriage (p = 0.951), age at menopause (p = 0.311), parity (p = 0.554), clinical symptoms/signs, stage of disease (p = 0.28), or histopathological grade (p = 0.877). Maximum expression was seen between 40-44 years. Moreover, all cases having 1 & 2 parity showed block positivity and all stage I cases showed block positivity.

Conclusion: P16 biomarker was significantly expressed in cervical cancers of the relatively younger age group and those with early stage of disease.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

The identification of life-threatening infection in febrile children presenting to the emergency department (ED) remains difficult. The quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) was only derived for adult populations, implying an urgent need for pediatric scores. We developed and validated a novel, adapted qSOFA score (Liverpool quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment [LqSOFA]) and compared its performance with qSOFA, Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS), and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) high-risk criteria in predicting critical care (CC) admission in febrile children presenting to the ED.

METHODS:

The LqSOFA (range, 0–4) incorporates age-adjusted heart rate, respiratory rate, capillary refill, and consciousness level on the Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive scale. The primary outcome was CC admission within 48 hours of ED presentation, and the secondary outcome was sepsis-related mortality. LqSOFA, qSOFA, PEWS, and NICE high-risk criteria scores were calculated, and performance characteristics, including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, were calculated for each score.

RESULTS:

In the initial (n = 1121) cohort, 47 CC admissions (4.2%) occurred, and in the validation (n = 12 241) cohort, 135 CC admissions (1.1%) occurred, and there were 5 sepsis-related deaths. In the validation cohort, LqSOFA predicted CC admission with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76 to 0.86), versus qSOFA (0.66; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.71), PEWS (0.93; 95% CI, 0.90 to 0.95), and NICE high-risk criteria (0.81; 95% CI, 0.78 to 0.85). For predicting CC admission, the LqSOFA outperformed the qSOFA, with a net reclassification index of 10.4% (95% CI, 1.0% to 19.9%).

CONCLUSIONS:

In this large study, we demonstrate improved performance of the LqSOFA over qSOFA in identifying febrile children at risk for CC admission and sepsis-related mortality. Further validation is required in other settings.

I WATCH MOVIES: A LOOK INTO HOW INFORMAL L2 LEARNERS ACQUIRE A NEW LANGUAGE
Authors: Prihhartini Sya'baningrum , Hasan Fahmy
Published: September 2020

The present study sought to investigate how much independent second language learners acquire new language through movies. With the growing of Over-The Top (OTT) media services such as Netflix and Viu, which provide movies in many languages and from various nations, the possibility for public in general to watch any movies in any language is limitless, hence exposing them to acquire a new language. Two surveys, one about English and another about Korean acquisition,  were conducted via Google Form and distributed via social media to examine how much informal L2 learners retrieve their stored input acquired from the movie viewing. Data collected were analyzed using mixed method data analysis. The result show that Korea movie viewers could recall more words than the English movie viewers. Korean movie viewers also seem to perform more on productive retrieval as they use the words they get from movies to communicate with their community. English movie viewers, on the other hand, seem to perform more on receptive retrieval as they can understand the story of the movies without needing subtitle. The findings suggest that watching movies greatly expose viewers to language input, which can be a great source of output when interacting within the movie-based community that they belong to.

Published: September 2020

RESUMO Essa é a segunda nota de uma série de quatro notas escritas para estudantes nos debates sobre políticas atuais. Ela se concentra em um modelo simples de economia aberta, no qual existe uma probabilidade subjetiva de inadimplência na dívida interna. Sob certas condições, há mais de um par de juros/câmbio consistente com uma determinada meta de inflação. A dinâmica é explorada sob uma regra de comportamento simples, segundo a qual o Banco Central aumenta os juros se a inflação estiver acima da meta. São discutidos os efeitos do aperto fiscal, choques externos nas taxas de juros ou dívida soberana e mudanças esperadas no regime de conversibilidade.
A New Consensus on Monetary Policy?
Authors: HERON EDWIN LE
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT By analyzing the documents issued by the Bank of Canada, an original monetary policy can be seen. The Canadian monetary policy tries to maintain its autonomy, whilst at the same time respecting floating exchange rates. The numerous innovations are the foundation of a New Consensus on monetary policy. Far from the dilemma rule versus discretion of the former Monetarist and Keynesian methods, a new dilemma will be the focus: that of credibility versus confidence. Here, the anticipations of the economic agents, the behavior of financial markets and the price of assets play a dominating role. Based on the innovative experiment of the Bank of Canada during the 1990s, the characteristics of the New Consensus will be explained. Far from making independent central banks some high-powered institutions, it shows them instead to be “statues with feet of clay”.
Financial Markets, External Shocks and Policy Responses: The Case of Brazil 2001
Authors: FARIA LAURO VIEIRA DE
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the macroeconomic response of the Brazilian government in 2001 following the emergence of sharp negative events in both the external and internal sectors with particular focus on monetary and exchange rate policies. It points out that the kind of macroeconomic reaction depicted by the standard Mundell-Fleming model is of little practical importance in a small open economy engulfed in dollar denominated debts and experiencing a confidence crisis like Brazil’s. The Brazilian economy operates as if there were some sorts of ceilings for the exchange rate and for interest rates, in a clear departure from the assumptions embodied in the “pure” model. In this kind of environment another set of actions is required to fight a dangerous exchange rate overshooting and that is proven by the events of 2001. Whilst the actions taken by the monetary authorities proved successful at that moment the paper shows that they came with sizeable real and financial costs as collateral. Therefore, the paper argues in favour of another set of macroeconomic responses which should have been preferred if we were to avoid such costs.

Published: September 2020

RESUMO O artigo busca focar nas principais tendências no âmbito da privatização da educação em 24 países africanos considerados frágeis pela Parceria Global para a Educação, comparando as diferenças e os pontos em comum. Com esse objetivo, recorre-se a um corpus documental para a realização de análise de conteúdo dos dados invocados, de modo a evidenciar o conteúdo manifesto. A análise realizada permite inferir que predomina, nos diferentes países, a perspectiva da privatização da educação planejada em detrimento da de facto, e constatar que, quando os documentos mencionam a gestão privada, referem-se, principalmente, à comunidade/aos pais. Concluiu-se que predomina a perspectiva de que as decisões são baseadas em evidências científicas, existindo, contudo, cinco países considerados atípicos.
Historical epidemiology and global health history
Authors: Webb Jr. James
Published: September 2020

Abstract The subdiscipline of historical epidemiology holds the promise of creating a more robust and more nuanced foundation for global public health decision-making by deepening the empirical record from which we draw lessons about past interventions. This essay draws upon historical epidemiological research on three global public health campaigns to illustrate this promise: the Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to control hookworm disease (1909-c.1930), the World Health Organization’s pilot projects for malaria eradication in tropical Africa (1950s-1960s), and the international efforts to shut down the transmission of Ebola virus disease during outbreaks in tropical Africa (1974-2019).
Leishmaniases of the New World from a historical and global perspective, from the 1930s to the 1960s
Authors: Benchimol Jaime Larry
Published: September 2020

Abstract The first autochthonous cases of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in the Americas were described in 1909, but visceral leishmaniasis only erupted as a public health problem in the region in 1934. Today Brazil is the country with the most cases of American tegumentary leishmaniasis, and alongside India has the highest incidence of visceral leishmaniasis. Knowledge production and efforts to control these diseases have mobilized health professionals, government agencies and institutions, international agencies, and rural and urban populations. My research addresses the exchange and cooperation networks they established, and uncertainties and controversial aspects when notable changes were made in the approach to the New World leishmaniases.
Regional cooperation and health diplomacy in Africa: from intra-colonial exchanges to multilateral health institutions
Authors: Havik Philip J.
Published: September 2020

Abstract Tracing the pathways of cooperation in health in sub-Saharan Africa from hesitant exchanges to institutionalized dimensions from the 1920s to the early 1960s, this article addresses regional dynamics in health diplomacy which have so far been under-researched. The evolution thereof from early beginnings with the League of Nations Health Organization to the Commission for Technical Assistance South of the Sahara and the World Health Organization’s Regional Office for Africa, shows how bilateral dimensions were superseded by WHO’s multilateral model of regional cooperation in health. Alignments, divergences, and outcomes are explored with respect to the strategies and policies pursued by colonial powers and independent African states regarding inter-regional relations, and their implications for public health and epidemiological interventions.

Violence and the Crisis of Identity in Flann O’Brien and Myles na gCopaleen
Authors: DOHERTY BRIAN
Published: September 2020

Focusing on the personae of Flann O’Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, this article examines a seemingly intractable inconsistency in Brian O’Nolan’s body of work: the early O’Brien novels are punctuated by extreme, murderous, graphic violence, while the voice in na gCopaleen‘s Cruiskeen Lawn is characterised by an urbane, decorous control. The essay deploys a Freudian understanding of the architecture of the psyche to explore these two opposing impulses within O’Nolan’s authorial ego. Reading O’Nolan in light of Freud’s comments on the creative process emphasises the extent to which the various personae producing the texts enact a drama of textual and authorial anxiety caused by the repressive and censorious cultural contexts to his oeuvre.
Fatores sociais que contribuem para o acolhimento institucional de idosos
Authors: Moura Simone Vivian
Published: September 2020

Verifica-se um aumento significativo no contingente de pessoas idosas no Brasil. O Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística estima que até o ano 2030, o percentual de idosos deverá superar o de crianças e adolescentes em cerca de quatro milhões. Grande parte de idosos necessitam de cuidados em decorrência da redução da capacidade funcional, no entanto, nem todos conseguem ser assistidos pelos seus familiares, pois existem fatores sociais que impedem que esse suporte seja praticado no seio familiar, como por exemplo, a vulnerabilidade socioeconômica. O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma discussão sobre os critérios para o acolhimento nas Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos sob a ótica de garantia de direitos. O percurso metodológico do estudo aqui proposto aconteceu por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica documental. Verificou-se que o acolhimento institucional no âmbito da política de assistência social, ocorre em regime de internato, sendo indicado aos idosos sem vínculo familiar e com algum grau de dependência, bem como aos idosos em situação de violação de direitos.

The study objective is to evaluate the immediate training effect under the influence of changes in the parameters of physical activity in special exercises on the basis of physiological changes in the body of basketball players.
Materials and methods. The study used empirical methods of measuring heart rate during competitions, pulmonary ventilation values, О2 consumption during physical work, О2-debt, “excess” CО2, methods of mathematical statistics. 
Results. An empirical study has shown that the exercises used in the preparation of basketball players differ significantly in the nature of physiological action. The greatest physiological shifts in the body of basketball players determine the exercise, which is performed intensively or repeatedly with maximum intensity. The smallest physiological shifts were found when performing free throws. 
Conclusions. The magnitude and orientation of the immediate training effect of special exercises in basketball depend on the combination of the effects of all the main indicators of physical activity – the type of exercises used, their intensity and duration, duration of rest, the number of repetitions.
On hyperbolicity and solution properties of the continual models of micro/nanoparticle aggregation and sedimentation in concentrated suspensions
Authors: Baranets V. O. , Kizilova N. M.
Published: September 2020

In continual mechanics sedimentation of aggregating particles in concentrated suspensions are determined by the mass and momentum conservation laws for each component of the suspension. The resulting quasilinear system of differential equations governing the flow could be hyperbolic, strongly strictly or weakly hyperbolic depending on the model accepted. The type and Eigenvalues of the matrix influence the characteristics of the pattern formation during the sedimentation that is essential for the model application in modern medical, microbiological and nanofluidic technologies. In this paper the hyperbolicity of the three-phase model of aggregation and sedimentation of micro/nanoparticles is studied.
Hydrastinine with uterine bleeding.
Authors: Czempin. А.
Published: September 2020

Analyzing the pharmaceutical treatment of uterine bleeding, the author quite rightly stops at ergot preparations and hydrastis canadensis, as the most effective means. Ergot acts mainly on the very muscle of the uterus and, therefore, is shown in atonic bleeding, depending for example. from insufficient postpartum involution of the uterus, while hydrastis is most useful for so-called secondary bleeding that occurs under the influence of diseases of the uterine appendages, with chronic endometritis, in the menopausal period, in girls, etc. The disadvantage of this remedy, in the form of a liquid extract, is that it does not work well when used when bleeding has already occurred, and that to get the proper effect, it must be taken long (two weeks) before the expected Meno-or metrorrhagia.

In this study, age changes in human face and ear were examined metric in both sexes. The data that have statistically significant results were included in the study, and we focused on the data with increase/decrease with age.
In the study, measurements were made on the face profile and ear images of 369 volunteers (166 female and 203 male). Linear distance measurements were taken using 19 anthropometric points along with Body Mass Index (BMI), and face profile and ear area calculations. The data were recorded in SPSS 20.0 (Statistical Package fort he Social Sciences) and analyzed.
Generally, the linear distance measurements taken from the ear region in both genders were observed to increase with age. While there was no statistically significant difference in the measurements taken on the side of the face, in men, only 4 of 13 measurements were observed to increase continuously.
The aim of this study is to examine the changes in the human face profile and ear with age as a metric and to contribute to the future prediction studies.

Objective: Suicide attempts are causes of mortality and morbidity. Suicide attemp patients’ reports were evaluated  in Forensic Medicine outpatient clinic. It was aimed to present of sociodemographic characteristics, methods, regional characteristics, develop to recommendations for proventive measures.
Materials-Methods; Between 01.06.2014-31.12.2018 were evaluated retrospectively and statisticaly.
Results: 405(5.3%) of the cases attempted suicide, 263(64.9%) were women, 142(35.1%) were men, 11.8% of them (n: 48) was under 18, 84.9% (n: 344) was under 40. The majority of the cases were in the 20-29 age range, women were more present in under 19 years, and men were more present in the 30-39 age group(p <0.001). No significant difference was found between months and seasons. The most common method was drugs (86.2%, n: 349), followed by knife wound (8.9%,n:36) hanging (2.2%,n:9). In terms of severity of injury; It was found that 3.2% of the cases had a life-threatening injury, 88.4% of them were mild with simple medical intervention and 8.4% were mild.
Discussion and Conclusion: The most common methods were drug. One of the striking results that, the rate of attempting suicide of women under 19 years of age is higher than men, men in the 30-39 age group is higher. In this result for women; the search for identity the roles of society expectation and the restrictions of freedom play role, for men; economic reasons, responsibilities play a role. The findings are important to shed light on protective measures. It would be useful to refer the patients who applied to social support units.

The use of inhalants, also known as volatile substances, is increasing all over the world. Lighter gas is one of the most frequently used inhalants, because it is easily accessible, can be bought legally and cheaply and has a pleasant effect in a short time.
In this case report, an 18-year-old case that had a cardiac arrest in the street after lighter gas inhalation about three years ago was presented. He had a generalized tonic seizure during his follow-up in intensive care unit, and had changes secondary to hypoxic ischemic damage due to inhalation of butane gas in his cranial MRI and also had severe motor and mental neurological sequelae.
In literature review, there were mostly autopsy studies of sudden death due to lighter gas inhalation. We think that presented case would contribute to the literature because it clearly reveals neurological sequelae as a result of lighter gas inhalation.

Methanol is a clear, colorless and highly toxic substance obtained from destructive distillation of wood. Methanol, which is generally used as solvent and antifreeze in industrial solvents, paints, varnishes, gasoline mixtures and automobiles, is a type of non-drinking alcohol due to its taste and odor. It can be produced as a by-product during the production of distilled alcoholic beverages. Accidental or suicidal ingestion of methanol can cause intoxication. Methanol often causes oral intoxications. Methanol intoxication occasionally occurs in epidemics. Metabolites of methyl alcohol are toxic. Most of the symptoms of methanol intoxication are associated with metabolic acidosis. Symptoms are usually related to the central nervous system, eyes and gastrointestinal tract and occur after a latent period. It can have serious consequences such as blindness and death. Prognosis is correlated with the degree of metabolic acidosis. The toxic dose of methyl alcohol in human is in a wide range. Hemorrhage and necrosis in the basal ganglia and hemorrhage in the putamen are the findings obtained in radiological examinations and autopsy studies. Methanol levels in the blood of the autopsy cases are quite different. In our country, there has been a significant increase in the number of intoxication cases and deaths as individuals started to produce their own drinks or turned to fake drinks due to the increasing taxes and alcohol prices. In order not to increase the number of intoxication cases and deaths, the government should make the necessary arrangements and take precautions as soon as possible.
