Authors: Zorkin S. N. , Nikulin O. D. , Shahnovskiy D. S.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Recently, the prevalence of urolithiasis in pediatric population has been steadily increasing, but up to now there is no any universal technique for treating urolithiasis in children. Among many options for surgical treatment of upper urinary tract urolithiasis, remote lithotripsy occupies one of the leading positions.Purpose. To highlight principles and mechanisms of remote lithotripsy, its indications and contraindications using a systemic review of modern literature for the period of 2001–2021.Material and methods. A systematic review of foreign and domestic literature for the period of 2001–2021 was made. Key words for the search were : urinary stone disease, urolithiasis, remote (shock wave) nephrolithotripsy, fragmentation of stones. 64 full-text articles out of 1339 literature sources are included in the review.Results. On analyzing the obtained results, it has been found out that one session of remote shock wave lithotripsy is effective in more than 90% of cases, if calculus dimensions are less than 20 mm and its density is less than 1200–1500 Hounsfield units. Location of the calculus also plays a role.Conclusion. Remote shock wave lithotripsy is a reasonable option due to a number of facts, the main of which are non-invasive approach and a large percentage of favorable outcomes associated with cleaning the upper urinary tract from stones.

Introduction. Sports popularization as well as better diagnostic options contribute to the relevance of the problem of knee meniscus injuries in children. Current trends in the management of meniscus injuries in Russia are between the choice – meniscectomy or meniscus suturing. There is a global tendency to reduce the number of performed meniscectomies because there has been proven correlation between this surgical intervention and osteoarthritis development.Material and methods. In the present review, the authors analyze outcomes after surgical treatment of knee meniscus injuries, which is still a controversial issue. They have selected sources published in PubMed, EMBASE, CyberLeninka, RSCI databases till September 15, 2022 (most of the articles published in 2017–2022). Keywords for the search were: meniscus suture, meniscectomy, children, osteoarthritis.Conclusion. Meniscus suturing is a more complicated procedure for both surgeons and patients, but it leads to better long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.

Introduction. Over the past decades, permanent venous access devices, in particular port systems and peripherally implanted central catheters, has been increasingly introduced in adult and pediatric oncology. As far as central catheters and permanent access devices are foreign bodies in basic veins, quite naturally that they are one more risk factor for thrombosis.Material and methods. The authors searched literature data ( in Russian and English) for the period up to May 3, 2022 using public databases (Embase, Medline/PubMed, Researchgate, medrxiv.org, RSCI/eLibrary). The following keywords were used for the search: “port-system”, “peripherally implanted central catheter”, “totally implanted vascular access device”, “venous thromboembolism”, “VTE”, “venous thromboembolic complications”, “VTEC”, “catheter dysfunction”, “device malfunction”. Available preprints, articles with “in press” or “online first” status, and clinical cases were also included in the analysis.Conclusion. This review discusses prevention, diagnostics and treatment of venous thromboembolic complications in cancer patients using similar implantable devices. In patients with catheter-associated thromboses, of practical interest are various diagnostic and curative algorithms, recommendations on the choice of vascular access, medicamentous therapy as well as variants of surgical intervention.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. Fecal incontinence of various origins still remains a complex medical and social problem that reduces both the quality of life and the chance of child’s full integration into the modern society. Antegrade enema, originally described by Malone, consists of creating an appendicostomy or neoappendicostomy of the ileum, which allows to irrigate the entire colon in order to empty the colon and rectum. As a result, children stay clean from 24 to 72 hours. Thus, surgical intervention can significantly improve the quality of life of children suffering of incontinence. Laparoscopic access minimizes surgical trauma and shortens rehabilitation period.Purpose. To analyze the obtained outcomes after treating children with laparoscopic umbilical appendicostomy.Material and methods. We report our own results obtained after performing laparoscopic umbilical appendicostomy in 3 children at the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center for Children and Adolescents, FMBA of Russia. Two children had neurological disorders of the pelvic organ; the third child suffered a severe combined injury, which led to the development of gross scarring changes in the sphincter area with a complete loss of its contractility. All children underwent laparoscopic umbilical appendicostomy. The article describes in detail all the stages of preoperative preparation and surgical intervention.Results. The duration of surgery ranged from 60 to 80 minutes. An appendicostomy intubator was left for 1 month in all cases. Hospital stay ranged from 8 to 11 days. The catamnesis was traced for 3–7 months. Therapeutic effect was assessed by children’s parents as satisfactory; the child remained clean for 12–18 hours, which contributed to socialization and significantly improved the quality of life. Conclusion. Performing laparoscopic umbilical appendicostomy is a relatively affordable technique. Our own experience has proven its effectiveness. Laparoscopic access minimizes surgical trauma, reduces rehabilitation time, and brings excellent cosmetic results. Malone surgery in children should be considered as a method of choice.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. Motor colon dysfunction is seen in most patients after surgical intervention for Hirschsprung’s disease regardless of the pull-through technique and absence of technical errors during surgery. The main cause of motor colon dysfunction are developed dystrophic disorders in the wall of dilated colon which can be manifested as episodes of both fecal incontinence and constipation. Cholinesterase inhibitors are pathogenetic preparations which are prescribed for hypo- and atonic colon conditions. The authors present a clinical case of successful treatment of 1.5 month-old child with Hirschsprung’s disease who was prescribed postoperative cholinesterase inhibitor Ipidacrine.Clinical case. A boy, aged one month and one day, was operated on for Hirschsprung’s disease of the recto-sigmoid form. Agangliosis sized 13 cm. Colon hypotonic dysfunction persisted in the postoperative period. Rehabilitation for 19 days did not give any positive results. So, it was decided to prescribe Ipidacrine (after approval of the Expert Commission because of age restrictions for the given preparation). Ipidacrine effective dose was 2 mg per kg twice a day per os. Therapy lasted for 7 days after which the colon function was normalized. No adverse cholinergic effects were recorded.Conclusion. The authors consider that after sufficient accumulation of clinical data Ipidacrine can be prescribed as pathogenetic preparation in functional hypotonic colon disorders in children including those with Hirschsprung’s disease at their postoperative period.

Authors:   Tottori University, DU Sanqiang , YASUNOBU Kumi ,   Tottori University, ELIAS Asres ,   Tottori University, TOYAMA Yuki ,   Tottori University
Published: February 2023

The rotational grazing systems (RGS) have been advocated as a superior grazing strategy by the Chinese government based on their significant ecological advantage compared to continuous grazing systems (CGS). In practice, however, due to the low-adoption rate of RGS the favorable effect is limited. This study analyzed the total production cost, gross production value, and net margin of CGS and RGS from the perspective of cost benefits. Data were collected from telephone and face-to-face questionnaire survey of 121 randomly sampled households in Maqu County in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results indicate that although economic benefits were achieved by herder households in both CGS and RGS, the total production costs spent on each sheep unit in RGS were higher than in the overall that of the total households, and the gross production values produced by herder households from livestock products were lower than in the overall that of the total households due to the difference in production practices. This finding suggests that higher production costs may reduce herders’ adoption rate of RGS. Furthermore, the transfer from CGS to RGS also implies that herders may have to face the challenge the change in production practices related to native grass availability, forage seeding, supplementary feeding, livestock transfer, and grazing duration. The policy implications of these findings towards the implementation of rotational grazing systems are as follows: first, policy makers can consider bringing higher economic advantages to the adopters of rotational grazing systems via incentives; Second, policy measures should assist herders to be able to adapt more easily to the production practices in RGS.
Understanding the Paradox in the Results of National Cultural Distance Impact on International Joint Venture Performance: A Narrative Review of Prior Literature
Authors: Yassine Omayma
Published: February 2023

The literature on international joint ventures (IJVs) continues to grow owing to their crucial importance in global market competition. National cultural distance (NCD) between partner firms is conventionally considered one of the main contributors to unsatisfactory IJV performance, leading to its dissolution. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on the extent of the impact of NCD on IJV performance, nor on whether this impact is predominantly positive or negative. Therefore, we conducted a narrative review to shed light on prior research (including the earliest works) to explore and clarify the causes of these apparent inconsistencies in the research’s results. Theoretically, the current research offers guidance for future study on the topic. Researchers should introduce moderator and mediator variables in pursuit of a more nuanced understanding such as mutual trust between partners. Practically, this paper will help IJV managers mitigate the negative effects of NCD and improve overall venture performance by selecting culturally intelligent managers, providing cross-cultural training for IJV staff, and implementing cooperative conflict resolution. Like any study, this paper has some limitations that should be examined by future researchers.
Implementing virtual literature circles for developing English learners’ vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension
Authors: El-Esery Ayman Mohamed
Published: February 2023

Reading comprehension requires language learners to be active and independent. A literature circle is a reading strategy that asserts different roles for students and promotes independence and active learning. The literature circle strategy was invented mainly for face-to-face learning. The spread of online teaching and learning necessitated the development of new teaching methods and learning strategies. In response, the present study adapted and developed the regular face-to-face literature circles into a virtual form to be known as Virtual Literature Circle (VLC) and maintained online. A sample of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners at Qassim University followed the VLCs in reading II during the second semester of the academic year 2022. Strong gains in vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension have been documented in the present study. Comparisons of the experimental and the control groups in the pre-test study revealed no significant differences before intervention. After a four-month intervention, the two groups conducted the post-test study. Large significant differences appeared in post-testing suggesting the effectiveness of the VLC strategy followed in developing vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension among EFL learners. The VLCs prove to be effective and suitable for synchronous and asynchronous face-to-screen learning.
Revisiting the Early Discourse of the Information Age and Its Interplay with Humanity
Authors: Hou Chia-I , Wang Jiun-Hao , Shiao Kun-Sun
Published: February 2023

This paper examines scholars’ discourses on the coming of the Information Age. It starts by discussing scholars who measured the emergence of the Information Age in the early 1960s. Machlup and Galbraith used economic indicators, followed by the exploration of network and knowledge sharing, which is a crucial process in the formation of the Information Age. Ellul (1964) paralleled humanity with technology as a “system,” and Mumford (1966) coined the term “megamachine.” These early arguments were pessimistic that humans were considered as inevitably confined by uncontrolled structures due to information and its byproducts—technology. However, in the 1980s, Nora and Minc considered the Information Age optimistically by introducing the concept of “Decentralization” to indicate the freedom of “choices” for modern people.

Published: February 2023

The modeling of fruit growth is important mainly in physiological and plant growth studies, allowing the monitoring of fruit growth and the follow-up of their development in a non-destructive way. Since no studies were found in the literature to model the growth of 'Isabel' vine fruits, the objective of this work is to adjust a growth curve for the fruits, verifying if the same equation can be applied to two production seasons. year in the north of the state of Espírito Santo. To adjust the growth curves, simple linear, quadratic, cubic, power and exponential models were used, with the weight of the berries as a function of the diameter and length of the berries. The validation of the equations was carried out using the same berries as the estimates of the equations through Pearson's linear correlation, root mean square error, Willmott's agreement index and required sample size to estimate the equation. The power model using the diameter as an independent variable is the equation that best explains the weight of the fruit of the 'Isabel' grape.
LIDAR AND NEW DISCOVERIES OF HILLFORTS IN LATVIA
Authors: Meinerts Jānis
Published: February 2023

In the last four years, an explosion-like process of discovering new hillforts has been observed. This has been made possible due to the public availability of LIDAR relief maps and point-cloud data collected in the scanning process. This paper aims to describe the practical process of working with LIDAR data in discovering, describing and registering new hillforts, as well as look for answers to the question of why have so many hillforts (77 in the time from 2018 until 2021) only been discovered now and using remote sensing data. The paper gives an insight into the process of collaboration between professional archaeologists and history enthusiasts that spend countless hours going through LIDAR maps looking for relief transformations characteristic of hillforts. The result of this collaboration is an impressive number on new hillfort sites that change our views on settlement patterns and social processes in Latvian prehistory, especially in the Latgale region. This region has by far the highest number of new hillfort sites and it seems that the reasons for only discovering these hillforts with remote sensing data is related to the ethnic history of the region and the loss of hillfort folklore because of demographic and migration processes.

UTILIZAÇÃO DA ENERGIA CINÉTICA SOLAR NO PROCESSO DE DESSALINIZAÇÃO DA ÁGUA
Authors: Lutif Pinto Viviane
Published: February 2023

A escassez de recursos hídricos é uma característica presente em diversos locais do planeta. No Brasil, e em especial, no Ceará, a característica cristalina que o solo possui gera uma maior concentração de sais, o que resulta em um grau de salinidade hídrica maior. Diante disso, no intuito de amenizar a carência de água potável nessas regiões, propõe-se a criação de um mecanismo de dessalinização híbrido que propicie uma maior demanda de água doce que possa suprir as necessidades locais.

This manuscript has as main objective to present the technical-operational procedure of the action research developed in a public high school in the North region of Ceará, in the period from 2012 to 2015, EEFM College Dom José Tupinambá da Frota, located at Avenue Dr. Guarany, 1.100, Neighborhood Cidao, Sobral, CE. This study was developed as an interdisciplinary pedagogical proposal with the first year classes of high school. It is a pedagogical practice, in which the pedagogicalproject "sustainable school" was developed, focused on the issue of water resources. The idea of the project was born from the observation of water waste in the school through the dripping of drinking fountains and air conditioning appliances and the generation of effluents, coming from kitchen sinks and bathrooms. The main objective of this project was to develop interdisciplinary pedagogical tools capable of involving students and the school community in sustainable practices, leading them to critical reflection about the relationship between man and nature in living with the semi-arid climate,where these resources are, in a sense, limited. In addition, strengthen the links between school and society, school and university, encouraging students to be interested in scientific research, to dream of a future academic career and to train citizens aware of their role in environmental issues.

O semiárido durante décadas foi visto como uma região marcada pela falta de água, pobreza e fome, morte de animais e terras rachadas. Neste cenário, a região foi palco de políticas ineficientes de combate as secas, fator cíclico e natural que posteriormente, entendeu-se que eram necessárias políticas e técnicas de convivência com o semiárido. O presente trabalho buscou realizar uma reflexão sobre a mudança de paradigma do semiárido, a partir da adoção de Políticas Públicas de caráter territorial, trazendo a importância das tecnologias sociais de convivência com o semiárido, a agroecologia e as questões de gênero. O trabalho também pretende apresentar uma nova tecnologia social desenvolvida a partir da parceria de diferentes atores (universidades e movimentos sociais), as “Cisternas Fertilizadas”. Ainda na fase de execução, o artigo pretende trazer o processo de envolvimento das mulheres agricultoras no processo de escolha das contempladas e na implementação desta tecnologia social, no Projeto de Assentamento Hipólito, situado na zona rural do município de Mossoró (RN).

Published: February 2023

O ecoturismo, entendido em sentido estrito, é uma atividade que tem por objetivo harmonizar a interação das pessoas com ecossistemas bem preservados e que presentem grande valor de naturalidade, proporcionando benefícios financeiros diretos para a conservação da biodiversidade autóctone e promovendo o bem-estar da comunidade visitada. Minimizando os impactes ambientais negativos, as ações de planeamento e de gestão devem estar orientadas, necessariamente, para a conservação da natureza e, simultaneamente, para proporcionar benefícios à população local, como sejam a criação de emprego, a recuperação do património histórico e a valorização do património cultural imaterial.

O presente trabalho surge a partir da disciplina Condições Históricas e Materiais da produção da Existência de Homens e Mulheres no Semiárido Brasileiro, do curso de Especialização em Educação Contextualizada para a Convivência com o Semiárido, do Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Semiárido – CDSA / Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG, Campus Sumé, onde foi discutido as possibilidades de trabalhar o desenho como recurso didático. A ação foi realizada com alunos do 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental, 1º ano e 2º do Ensino Médio da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) na Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Jornalista José Leal Ramos no município de São João do Cariri no Cariri Paraibano. Os objetivos propostos foram: Compreender as razões do déficit hídrico no semiárido brasileiro; Debater as dificuldades sociais e econômicas enfrentados pela população que habita a região durante o período de estiagem; Compreender que as causas dos problemas sociais do semiárido estão além da falta de água; Demonstrar que o semiárido não é só pobreza e falta de água, apontar ações para a boa convivência com o semiárido. Esse trabalho foi desenvolvido em 2 momentos: no primeiro momento, desenvolvemos uma aula expositiva com apresentação em slides no qual apresentamos as características da região do semiárido brasileiro. Com o auxílio das letras das músicas: “Asa Branca, a volta da Asa Branca” de Luiz Gonzaga e da “Música Água de chuva” de Roberto Malvezzi, e um vídeo a respeito das causas sociais e econômicas da seca intitulado “Retratos da seca”. No segundo momento, depois da explicação do conteúdo, dividimos a turma em equipes para que os alunos produzissem desenhos sobre o que foi exposto durante a aula. Constatou-se que o desenho como recurso pedagógico é de estrema importância no contexto do ensino/aprendizagem dos conteúdos estudados em sala de aula.
