Published: January 2023

The article discusses the dynamics of the lubrication process during the operational wear of the crankshaft bearings of automobile engines. All lubrication modes and wear processes are analyzed. The main attention is paid to the steady and unsteady modes of lubrication of the crankshaft bearings. The nature of the dynamics of changing lubrication regimes is substantiated through operational tribological parameters that characterize the integral degree of existence of the lubricating layer. A model is proposed for the relationship of these parameters with a number of factors, and the nature of their changes with a change in the speed of the crankshaft of the car engine is substantiated.

The results of bench tests of diesel engines of the KamAZ series, speed and load characteristics of the engine in terms of tribological operational parameters are presented. A graphical interpretation of the tribological parameter in the field of the load-speed mode of KamAZ engines is given

Hemoglobin or Hb is a protein found in red blood cells. This protein is what makes blood red. In normal levels, hemoglobin has many functions for the body, so normal levels of hemoglobin need to be maintained. In addition to giving color, hemoglobin also functions to help red blood cells get their natural shape, which is round with a flatter center. With this shape, red blood cells can easily move and flow in the blood vessels. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 91 of 2015 the normal level of hemoglobin before blood donation is 12.5 - 17.0 gr/dL%. When a person's hemoglobin condition is higher or lower than the normal amount, this can be a sign of a health problem.

Dziecko w prawie staropolskim
Authors: Bednaruk Waldemar
Published: January 2023

Pozycję dziecka w polskim prawie i w rodzinie staropolskiej regulowały przede wszystkim normy prawa zwyczajowego. W analizowanym okresie nie dostrzegano potrzeby ingerowania we wzajemne relacje rodziców i dzieci, pozostawiając tym pierwszym prawo do decydowania o losie swojego potomstwa. Jedynie w niektórych przypadkach, gdy prawodawca uznał, iż w określonej sytuacji dobro dziecka musi być w sposób szczególny chronione, dostrzegamy działania zmierzające do zapewnienia mu niezbędnej ochrony. Prawami dziecka w większym stopniu zainteresowano się dopiero u schyłku I Rzeczypospolitej, jednak ze względu na sytuację polityczną w kraju nie udało się skutecznie przeprowadzić projektowanych rozwiązań.
Uprawnienia i obowiązki duszpasterzy wojskowych jako przejaw znaczenia i roli duchowieństwa w Wojsku Polskim od pierwszego rozbioru do podpisania traktatu ryskiego 18 marca 1921 roku
Authors: Kołota Jacek
Published: January 2023

Duszpasterstwo wojskowe w Polsce ma bogatą tradycję, kształtowaną wieloma okolicznościami i uwarunkowaniami politycznymi. Wraz z rozwojem organizacji armii na przestrzeni wieków powstawały różne regulacje, które miały na celu unormowanie funkcjonowania posługi religijnej w wojsku i dostosowanie jej do potrzeb rozwijających się sił zbrojnych. Artykuł przedstawia działania władz świeckich, jak również kościelnych, mające na celu uregulowanie statusu duszpasterzy w wojsku poprzez nadawanie przywilejów i uprawnień, a także jasne określenie obowiązków kapelanów w wojsku, od czasów rozbioru do czasu pokoju ryskiego z 1921 r.
Ochrona i obrona prawa do godziwego utrzymania duchownych
Authors: Lewandowski Paweł
Published: January 2023

Prawo do godziwego wynagrodzenia stanowi jedno z najbardziej podstawowych praw przysługujących każdemu człowiekowi. Ustawodawca kościelny proklamuje je nie tylko w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 r., ale także w licznych posoborowych aktach normatywnych. W artykule zostały wskazane podstawy prawne dla ochrony i obrony prawa do godziwego utrzymania duchownych. Pojęcie ochrony należy łączyć z prewencją, a więc zabezpieczeniem przed czymś potencjalnym. 205 Poza zabezpieczeniem, działanie ochronne może polegać na opiece lub doglądaniu czegoś. Obrona jest konieczna natomiast wtedy, gdy faktycznie została naruszona jakaś materia i pojawiła się w tym zakresie niesprawiedliwość, co wymaga obrony sprawiedliwego stanu prawnego, a nawet jego przywrócenia.

Zasada zdolności płatniczej wyklucza podatki dotyczące całej społeczności o jednakowej wysokości, zapewnia ona także, że osoby o tym samym poziomie zdolności płatniczej (ang. horizontal equity) powinny płacić te same wielkości podatków. Rozstrzygnięcie czy stawka proporcjonalna, progresywna czy regresywna jest sprawiedliwa, pozostaje kwestią indywidualną. Sprawiedliwość podatkowa powinna też być realizowana poprzez powszechność i równość wobec wszystkich obywateli, aby obciążenia finansowe były proporcjonalne do osiąganych dochodów.

Correlations between one-repetition maximum weights of different back squat depths
Authors: Enoki Shota , Shiba Junpei , Hakozaki Taisei , Suzuki Yuki , Kuzuhara Kenji
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND:

Although squat depth determines the weight that can be lifted while squatting, it is unclear whether the one-repetition maximum (1RM) at one squat depth can be used to estimate the 1RM at another squat depth.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the correlations between 1RM weights at different back squat (BSQ) depths in frequently trained male collegiate athletes.

METHODS:

This cross-sectional study included 26 male collegiate athletes. Body composition, lower extremity length, and 1RM of BSQ were measured. 1RM of BSQ was measured at three positions (quarter, half and parallel positions), defined as 45 degrees of knee flexion (quarter, Q-SQ), 90 degrees of knee flexion (half, H-SQ), and femur parallel to the ground (parallel, P-SQ), respectively. All testing was conducted by a certified strength and conditioning specialist. Pearson’s correlation analysis and Spearman’s rank correlation were used to examine the correlation between 1RM at each squat depth.

RESULTS:

There was a significant correlation between 1RM in the H-SQ and P-SQ positions ([Formula: see text] 0.001, [Formula: see text] 0.725, [Formula: see text] 0.526, [Formula: see text] 1.0728[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 24.641), but no significant correlation between 1RM of Q-SQ and P-SQ, and 1RM of Q-SQ and H-SQ. There were significant correlations between the 1RM/BW of Q-SQ and height ([Formula: see text] 0.001, [Formula: see text] 0.594), and with the length of the lower extremities ([Formula: see text] 0.002, [Formula: see text] 0.586).

CONCLUSIONS:

Mutual estimation of the 1RM of H-SQ or P-SQ from the 1RM of the other squat position is possible. Estimation of the 1RM of Q-SQ from the 1RM of H-SQ or P-SQ is, however, difficult, and must be measured separately. Future studies should be conducted with larger sample sizes, in athletes of various sports, and in females.

As a result, The goal of this study is to show how to design and install hardware as well as implementing some software programs to produce a fully functioned University of Texas Series Elastic Actuator (UT-SEA).
Group-individual multi-mode cooperative teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm and an industrial engineering application
Authors: Chen Zhixiang
Published: January 2023

This paper modifies the original Teaching-Learning-based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm to present a novel Group-Individual Multi-Mode Cooperative Teaching-Learning-based Optimization (CTLBO) algorithm. This algorithm introduces a new preparation phase before the teaching and learning phases and applies multiple teacher-learner cooperation strategies in teaching and learning processes. In the preparation phase, teacher-learner interaction and teacher self-learning mechanism are applied. In the teaching phase, class-teaching and performance-based group-teaching operators are applied. In the learning phase, neighbor learning, student self-learning and team-learning strategies are mixed together to form three operators. Experiments indicate that CTLBO has significant improvement in accuracy and convergence ability compared with original TLBO in solving large scale problems and outperforms other compared variants of TLBO in literature and other 9 meta-heuristic algorithms. A large-scale industrial engineering problem—warehouse materials inventory optimization problem is taken as application case, comparison results show that CTLBO can effectively solve the large-scale real problem with 1000 decision variables, while the accuracies of TLBO and other meta-heuristic algorithm are far lower than CLTBO, revealing that CTLBO can far outperform other algorithms. CTLBO is an excellent algorithm for solving large scale complex optimization issues.

Authors: Pushpa B. , Baskaran B. , Vivekanandan S. , Gokul P.
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Fatty liver disease is a common condition caused by excess fat in the liver. It consists of two types: Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, also called alcoholic steatohepatitis, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). As per epidemiological studies, fatty liver encompasses 9% to 32% of the general population in India and affects overweight people. OBJECTIVE: An Optimized Support Vector Machine with Support Vector Regression model is proposed to evaluate the volume of liver fat by image analysis (LFA-OSVM-SVR). METHOD: The input computed tomography (CT) liver images are collected from the Chennai liver foundation and Liver Segmentation (LiTS) datasets. Here, input datasets are pre-processed using Gaussian smoothing filter and bypass filter to reduce noise and improve image intensity. The proposed U-Net method is used to perform the liver segmentation. The Optimized Support Vector Machine is used to classify the liver images as fatty liver image and normal images. The support vector regression (SVR) is utilized for analyzing the fat in percentage. RESULTS: The LFA-OSVM-SVR model effectively analyzed the liver fat from CT scan images. The proposed approach is activated in python and its efficiency is analyzed under certain performance metrics. CONCLUSION: The proposed LFA-OSVM-SVR method attains 33.4%, 28.3%, 25.7% improved accuracy with 55%, 47.7%, 32.6% lower error rate for fatty image classification and 30%, 21%, 19.5% improved accuracy with 57.9%, 46.5%, 31.76% lower error rate for normal image classificationthan compared to existing methods such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Fractional Differential Enhancement (FDE) (CNN-FDE), Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) (FCN-NMF), and Deep Learning with Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) (DL-FCN).

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Acne is a skin lesion type widely existing in adolescents, and poses computational challenges for automatic diagnosis. Computer vision algorithms are utilized to detect and determine different subtypes of acne. Most of the existing acne detection algorithms are based on the facial natural images, which carry noisy factors like illuminations. OBJECTIVE: In order to tackle this issue, this study collected a dataset ACNEDer of dermoscopic acne images with annotations. Deep learning methods have demonstrated powerful capabilities in automatic acne diagnosis, and they usually release the training epoch with the best performance as the delivered model. METHODS: This study proposes a novel self-ensemble and stacking-based framework AcneTyper for diagnosing the acne subtypes. Instead of delivering the best epoch, AcneTyper consolidates the prediction results of all training epochs as the latent features and stacks the best subset of these latent features for distinguishing different acne subtypes. RESULTS: The proposed AcneTyper framework achieves a promising detection performance of acne subtypes and even outperforms a clinical dermatologist with two-year experiences by 6.8% in accuracy. CONCLUSION: The method we proposed is used to determine different subtypes of acne and outperforms inexperienced dermatologists and contributes to reducing the probability of misdiagnosis.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the characteristics of androgen receptors (AR), estrogen receptor 1 (ER1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ER2) expression in dartos tissue of patients with congenital hypospadias, compared to normal penis. Material & Methods: We harvested 63 dartos tissue consisting of 53 congenital hypospadias that underwent urethroplasty (20 distal and 33 proximal) and 10 normal penis that underwent circumcision as controls from September 2017 to September 2018. The expressions of AR, ER1, and ER2 were measured using Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR). All data were analyzed by Prism 7, and one-way ANOVA tests were used to compare gene expressions between the groups. Results: The mean age was 68.99 (± 45.5) and 65.6 (± 25.8) months in boys with and without hypospadias, respectively. The expression of mRNA AR was decreased in proximal (6.26 ± 2.30) and distal hypospadias (6.43 ± 2.22) compared to controls (9.69 ± 1.10), which were statistically significant (p=0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). We found a statistically significant difference of ER1 expression compared to controls (p=0.0064). The expression of ER2 was significantly increased in distal (21.03 ± 5.00) and proximal hypospadias (25.21 ± 8.06) groups compared to controls (11.80 ± 2.49) (p<0.0001). There was no statistically significant mean difference in mRNA ER1 expression (p=0.65). Conclusion: The repressed AR and elevated ER mRNA as shown in our study may suggest that defects in those receptors’ interaction and/or balance may contribute to hypospadias and penile curvature condition. Further studies are needed to evaluate any gene-related problems in hypospadias.

INNOVATION OF ELECTRONIC-BASED TAX SERVICES IN INCREASING TAXPAYER PARTICIPATION
Authors: Putri Kenni Arianti
Published: January 2023

One of the realistic steps taken by the Director General of Taxes is to provide tax services that make it easier for people to pay taxes. This principle is based on a thought about building awareness through an emotional approach. That the people as citizens need to be served well by the state, especially in terms of fulfilling their obligations. The state must be present as a facilitator who provides a sense of comfort and fun. This study aims to see the effect of electronic-based tax service innovation, especially in terms of reporting in an effort to increase taxpayer participation. Respondents in this study were private taxpayers who were in the tax office area of Central Jakarta, totaling 100 people. The data collection technique was carried out by giving primary questionnaires. In general, this study uses a positivism/quantitative approach with linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that there is a strong relationship between tax revenue and taxpayer participation with electronic tax reporting factors. This confirms that innovation in tax services is a technical factor that influences awareness of paying taxes.Keywords:        Electronic-Based Tax Innovation, E-SPT, Taxpayers, Awareness of Paying Taxes
COMPLIANCE IN PAYING TAX PERSPECTIVE TAXPAYER ATTRIBUTES AND SANCTIONS
Authors: Mafaza Suci
Published: January 2023

Awareness of paying taxes is the result of many factors, ranging from knowledge about taxes to the benefits of taxes received. Therefore, the government needs to make more efforts to win the hearts of the people so that awareness of paying taxes increases. Several things that need to be done are about how to motivate through friendly and pleasant tax services, to imposing sanctions on taxpayers who are clearly absent. The purpose of this research is to look at some of the internal and external factors that may influence the awareness of paying taxes. This study applies quantitative techniques with numerical data as a basis for drawing conclusions. The research data were processed using moderating-based regression statistical techniques. The research sample is 100 respondents, who are taxpayers in the South Jakarta area. The sampling technique was carried out by simple random sampling by distributing questionnaires. The results of the study state that awareness of paying taxes is a condition in which taxpayers are aware of their role in contributing to national development through taxes. Therefore, emotional factors such as providing motivation and tax services are one of the stimuli that strengthen awareness of paying taxes. Likewise with sanctions, sometimes some people feel reluctant to pay taxes, so imposing sanctions is an effective thing to do.Keywords:   Taxpayers, Tax Awareness, Desire to Pay Taxes, Services and Sanctions, National Development, Financial Conditions

Authors: Mawardi Syamsi , Finatariani Endah
Published: January 2023

There will always be obstacles at work, and the most common one is work stress. The cause of work stress can occur from small things, such as misperceptions, miscommunication, misbehavior, and so on. However, there are other positive factors that also improve performance, one of which is work rules. Work rules become guidelines in disciplining measurable work behavior, so that work results are in accordance with standards. Based on this background, this study aims to analyze negative and positive factors at work, which have implications for performance. The research is built on a quantitative basis, so the basis for disclosing phenomena is the numbers tested by the regression statistical method. The research subjects were private bank employees in the urban city, South Tangerang. Data is collected primary/directly by distributing questionnaires with a Likert scale. The number of samples used was 60 people with census techniques. The results of the study show that there is a significant difference in the effect of discipline and work stress on performance. As it turns out, negative factors such as stress have a stronger power on decreased performance, compared to positive factors such as discipline. So, it is understandable, that suppressing negative factors such as stress, workload, conflict and so on will further maximize the work potential of employees. Then the company increases other positive work factors.Keywords: Positive-Negative Work Factors, Rules, Stress, Performance, Work Achievement

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of audio hypnotherapy in reducing postpartum depression during the new normal. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design involving 60 postpartum mothers with a history of normal delivery at 2 Midwife’s clinics in Palembang City and 1 Midwife’s clinic in Aceh. Postpartum depression levels were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Data analysis used Paired Samples Test to determine differences in postpartum depression levels before and after listening to Hypnotherapy audio. Results: There was a decrease in postpartum mothers’ depression level after listening to hypnotherapy audio for ± 2 weeks. Depression incidence before giving audio hypnotherapy has a mean value = 11.15, while after giving audio hypnotherapy, it increases to 8.90, with P-value <0.05. Conclusion: Audio hypnotherapy therapy has proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of depression in postpartum mothers.
Paradigms of economic thinking in journalism: The post-Soviet transformations’ experience
Authors: Konoplev D. E.
Published: January 2023

The paper, using the example of publications in federal periodicals in the period from 1991 to 2022, examines the process of formation and transformation of economic thinking paradigms that have gone from a liberal economic agenda that promotes the values of private property and market reforms to an administrative concept that brings paternalistic sentiments to the fore and pro-government stance. The content analysis and sentiment analysis of the texts, carried out by the author, show that over the three decades of post-Soviet transformations, not only the economic ideas broadcast through periodicals have noticeably transformed, but also the emotive field of these ideas has changed sign from negative to positive context. The conclusion is drawn about the prospects for such a transformation, which inevitably leads to the consolidation in the public mind of the principles of learned helplessness and a return to the argumentative constructions of the Soviet period with the dominant role of distribution motives and state support for the economy. The results showed that the increase in the subjectivity of the media in the representation of economic topics during periods of dominance of paradigms and the intention of periodicals for objectivity during the period of paradigm transition.
Monetary aggregation: Concept, critics and modern alternatives
Authors: Moiseev S. R.
Published: January 2023

The concept of monetary aggregates has always followed changes in monetary policy. Its development reflects the victories and mistakes of monetary authorities. Although they played the roles of operational and intermediate targets in the past, today they are used in the analysis of the banking sector and financial stability. Some economists believe that broad monetary aggregates such as Divisia help explain macroeconomic dynamics and should be included in the central bank’s interest rate decision rules. In addition, functional monetary aggregates are proposed as an alternative, behind which there are complex calculations. In the near future, the introduction of central bank digital currencies must lead to a redefinition of the monetary base and simple aggregates.

The paper estimates the trajectory of trend inflation for Russia. A discussion of inflation measures used in macroeconomic models is presented, as well as the analysis of theoretical and empirical models that include a trend inflation indicator for monetary policy analysis. The paper also provides an overview of the use of trend inflation by monetary authorities of developed countries and emerging markets. Based on the methodology for assessing trend inflation with the help of models of unobservable components, the Kalman filter and including structural factors, the trajectory of trend inflation for the Russian economy from the beginning of 2001 to the end of 2021 is obtained. In addition, the paper provides a historical decomposition of cyclical inflation into structural shocks, as well as the decomposition of the variance of its forecast error into the considered shocks for 24 months in advance. The results of the econometric analysis testify in favor of a gradual decrease in the trend inflation rate to 4% per year after the 2015 crisis and further stabilization at this level. The situation in 2022 can be analyzed by analogy with the period of 2014—2015, one can expect a similar scenario for trend and actual inflation to return to pre-crisis levels in 2022 within one year (by March 2023).
Centralization and regionalization of minimum wages: Evidence from Russia
Authors: Lukyanova A. L.
Published: January 2023

The paper investigates recent developments in the minimum wage policy in Russia. We focus on the effects of two interventions: (1) the decision of the Russian Constitutional Court of December 7, 2017 to exclude mandatory regional compensation payments and Northern allowances from the minimum wage; (2) the decision to equate the national minimum wage with the subsistence level through two hikes in early 2018. Our empirical analysis is based on the data for 2016Q1—2022Q1, covering the period before and after the interventions. The decision of the Constitutional Court introduced an additional tier of minimum wage setting. Formerly, minimum wages were regionalized in a decentralizedway via tripartite collective bargaining at the regional level. Since 2018, this approach has been supplemented with the centralized regionalization via mandatory regional coefficients. The decision to equate the minimum wage with the subsistence level also contributed to the increase in centralization as it reduced the room the social partners to set regional minima above the federal level. As a result, the regionalization via regional tripartite agreements has basically ceased to exist, although before 2018 it showed a decent ability to adapt to local conditions. Policy developments in 2017—2018 reduced the interregional variation in the bindingness and purchasingpower of minimum wages. However, it might have happened at the expense of economically weak regions. In poor regions, the ratio of the minimum wage to the average wage has exceeded 50%, which exacerbates the risks of disemployment and welfare losses in those regions.

ABSTRACTBackground: Complaints of tinnitus sufferers are generally subjective, while there is no objective examination in establishing the diagnosis of tinnitus so far, so that a questionnaire is needed to help establish it. The limitations of objectively assessing tinnitus have led to self-report questionnaires as the best option for evaluating tinnitus symptoms and measuring the extent to which quality of life is negatively impacted. Objective: to compare the scores between the Indonesian Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Indonesian version of the 12-item Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ). Method: A descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional design, where both variables were observed at the same time. This research was conducted at the Neurotology Outpatient Unit (URJ) RSUD Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from September 2019 to April 2020. Result: A total of 29 tinnitus patients who met the criteria were divided by age, gender, degree of hearing loss, THI score, THI severity, and TPFQ score. Conclusion: The results of the correlation test between the degree of hearing loss with THI-Indonesia and the degree of hearing loss with the Indonesian 12-item TPFQ showed no difference in the results, namely both were not correlated, so the Indonesian 12-items TPFQ was valid and reliable, and it could be used to shorten the assessment time of tinnitus sufferers in hectic outpatient clinics. ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Keluhan penderita tinitus umumnya bersifat subyektif, sedangkan sampai saat ini belum ada sarana pemeriksaan obyektif dalam menegakkan diagnosis tinitus, maka diperlukan kuesioner untuk membantu. Keterbatasan menilai tinitus secara obyektif telah menjadikan kuesioner mandiri (self-report) sebagai pilihan terbaik untuk mengevaluasi gejala tinitus dan mengukur sejauh mana kualitas hidup terkena dampak negatif. Tujuan: membandingkan skor antara Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) Indonesia dengan Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ) 12-item versi Indonesia. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang, dimana kedua variabel diamati dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Unit Rawat Jalan (URJ) Neurotologi RSUD Dr. Soetomo pada bulan September 2019 sampai dengan April 2020. Hasil: Sebanyak 29 pasien tinitus yang memenuhi kriteria dibagi berdasarkan kategori usia, jenis kelamin, derajat gangguan pendengaran, skor THI, derajat keparahan THI, dan skor TPFQ. Kesimpulan: Hasil uji korelasi antara derajat gangguan pendengaran dengan THI-Indonesia maupun derajat gangguan pendengaran dengan TPFQ 12-item Indonesia menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan hasil, yaitu sama-sama tidak berkorelasi, sehingga TPFQ 12-item Indonesia adalah valid dan handal dapat digunakan untuk mempersingkat penilaian penderita tinitus di klinik rawat jalan yang sibuk

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre los síntomas depresivos en cuidadores y la presencia de problemas afectivos y comportamentales en los niños, niñas y adolescentes. Sujetos y Método: Investigación de tipo descriptivo correlacional, de carácter transversal. Muestra: 1.100 niños y adolescentes con sus respectivos cuidadoras o cuidadores de colegios oficiales de Caldas-Colombia. Instrumentos: Child Behavior Check List (CBCL 4/18) y Patient Health Questionnarie (PHQ-9). Resultados: La media de edad fue de 12,1 años. Según CBCL, hasta el 20% de los niños, niña y adolescentes presentaban altera- ción en alguno de los síndromes para dificultades afectivo-comportamentales. El 34% de las madres y el 14% de los padres habían presentado alguna vez, durante al menos 2 semanas, tristeza, desánimo, depresión, pérdida del interés. Al aplicar el PHQ-9 el 32,4% de las cuidadoras y los cuidadores fueron clasificados con depresión. Las cuidadoras y los cuidadores con dichas alteraciones tienden a percibir mayor dificultad para afrontar su cotidianidad comparado con las cuidadoras y los cuidadores de niños, niñas y adolescentes sin riesgo (p < 0,003). Conclusiones: La presencia de síntomas depresivos en cuidadoras y cuidadores se relacionan con aumento de síntomas internalizantes y externalizantes en niños, niñas y adolescentes.

La discinesia ciliar primaria (DCP) es una enfermedad genética poco frecuente que produce defectos funcionales y estructurales en los cilios. En Perú, no se han reportado casos de esta enfermedad en la población pediátrica. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas, radiológicas y de ultraestructura ciliar en niños con DCP, en un país de medianos recursos económicos. Caso Clínico: Reportamos 5 pacientes con DCP en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño-Breña (Perú). El rango de edad al diagnóstico fue de 1 a 5 años (mediana 3 años). Tres pacientes fueron varones. Las manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes fueron tos húmeda crónica, roncus y crepitaciones gruesas, síndrome obstructivo bronquial recurrente y neumonías a repetición. Todos los pacientes tenían atelectasia, tres tenían bronquiectasias y dos presentaban dextrocardia con situs inversus. En dos pacientes se había practicado lobectomía. Se descartaron otras causas de neumonías a repetición con estudio de inmunodeficiencias, test de cloro y aspiración pulmonar. En la microscopía electrónica se encontró a la ausencia del brazo interno de la dineína como el patrón más frecuente. Todos fueron tratados con antibioticoterapia, nebulizaciones con solución salina hipertónica y fisioterapia respiratoria con buena adherencia. Conclusión: En países de medianos recursos económicos la microscopia electrónica asociada a las características clínicas y radiológicas juegan un rol importante en el diagnóstico temprano de esta enfermedad. Este es el primer reporte peruano que aporta a la casuística y epidemiología de esta patología poco frecuente.
