Spatial Environmental Inequality in Lubbock, Texas
Authors: Labron Carter Perry , M. Post Jason , L. Sorrensen Cynthia
Published: October 2018

Environmental inequality assumes a near proximity of environmental health hazards, hazardous waste processing and releasing facilities to minority and low-income communities. Research in environmental inequality and environment justice over the past twenty years suggests that hazardous waste facilities are often located near minority and low-income neighborhoods. We conducted a study evaluating and quantifying environmental inequality in Lubbock County, Texas. Our study analyzed both spatial and statistical relationships between population demographics and spatial proximity to hazardous waste releasing facilities. Hazardous waste facility data used in the study were collected from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). Population statistics from the U.S. Census comprise the demographic data for this analysis. Spatial regression models were estimated to evaluate the relationship between distance from TRI sites and neighborhood / census block group demographics. A statistically significant relationship with proximity to hazardous waste facilities was found in communities having significant minority populations.
Use of Web 2.0 technologies as mediation tools in higher education with focus on YouTube
Authors: Imathiu Samuel
Published: October 2018

Although the curricula content for similar study disciplines may differ from one higher education institution to another and from one country and/or region to another, it is without any doubt that for all, they promote active learning rather than passive learning. A recent shift has been observed where emphasis is placed on student-centered, collaborative and practical participation of learners in knowledge creation in a learning environment which is more engaging and stimulating. This has particularly been made possible by emerging educational technology mediation tools that does not only promote hands-on learning but also make the whole learning experience fun. Most of these technological tools have been effectively used by More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) in scaffolding the learners, and they have also been directly used by learners themselves as their MKO in addressing Vygotsky’s concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) which is defined by Vygotsky1 as ‘the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem-solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers’. This literature reviews how YouTube as an example of Web 2.0 technology has been used as a mediation tool to facilitate teaching and learning in higher education.
Patient-centric implementation of an electronic medication management system at a tertiary hospital in Western Sydney
Authors: Gunja Naren , Dunlop Ian , Vaghasiya Milan , Kuan Kevin , Poon Simon
Published: October 2018

Background

Traditional implementations of electronic medication management (EMM) systems have involved two common formats – a ‘big bang’ approach on the day of go-live, or a phased ward-by-ward approach over months.

Objective

To describe the patient-centric roll-out, a novel implementation model in converting from paper to EMM.

Method

This model iteratively converted a large tertiary teaching hospital to electronic from paper medication charts, commencing the roll-out in the emergency department (ED). The tenet of ‘one patient, one chart’ was maintained with new patients commenced on EMM, while existing inpatients were maintained on paper charts until their discharge. In the second week, all other intake points commenced patients on EMM, and in the third week, all remaining patients were manually converted to EMM. The implementation was assessed with training completion rates, staff satisfaction surveys, focus group interviews and incident logs.

Results

At go-live, 79% of doctors, 68% of nurses and 90% of pharmacists were trained in the EMM system. The ED converted to electronic prescribing within 24 hours; by day 20, all patients were on EMM. Two hundred and thirty issues were logged, none critical, of which 22 were escalated. Of the 51,063 medications administered, there were 13 EMM-related clinical incidents including three double dosing errors, none of which led to an adverse event or death. Overall, 77% of staff surveyed were satisfied with the EMM implementation.

Conclusions

The patient-centric roll-out model represents an innovative and safe approach with a single medication chart reducing transcription and improved medication safety for the patient and the organisation.

Authors: Redko Flavia , Flor Sabrina , Lucangioli Silvia , Ulloa Jerónimo , Ricco Rafael , Fernández Claudio , Sambrotta Luis , Muschietti Liliana
Published: October 2018

In recent years, the consumption of dietary supplements (DS) has increased worldwide. In Argentina, approximately 14 million DS units were sold between 2015 and 2017. The adulteration of DS with active pharmaceutical ingredients or their analogues has been reported. This represents an alarming emerging risk to public health. The aim of this work was to detect the possible adulteration of a DS marketed in Argentina for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Initially, thin layer chromatography analysis of the DS capsules content suggested the presence of a major compound. For the isolation and purification of this compound, an easy method consisted of a liquid-liquid extraction (water/CH2Cl2) followed by re-crystallisation from ethanol, is reported. Spectroscopic techniques such as mono- and bidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry allowed its identification as tadalafil. A rapid and reliable method was developed for the quantification of tadalafil in this DS by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The mean content of tadalafil per capsule was 21.2 mg which represents a slightly higher value than that found in approved products in Argentina (5 or 20 mg per tablet). In addition, an undeclared alga was identified in the DS by microscopic techniques.

Published: October 2018

This study reviews the agricultural development perspective in the light of a rapid space technology development. In other words, precision agriculture as part of geoinformatics. The aim is to quantify whether the adopted technology can improve the efficiency of agricultural fields management and production to attain food security. Therefore, views of targeted groups from different States of Sudan were investigated, using stratified sampling method. Where quantitative statistics (descriptive/inductive techniques) was applied. About 800 questionnaires were distributed. The outcomes of data analysis reflected that the majority of interviewed groups 357 (82.1%) do not know the principles and application of integrated technology in the field of agricultural management. 85.3% of respondents know nothing about computer program related to precision agriculture. The majority of the respondents (84.6 %), did not get courses on precision agriculture during the under graduate study. The result also revealed that only 11.8% of the respondents use modern techniques in land preparation, 16.1 % in soil analysis, 12.5 % in the field of seed technology, and 11.4% in crop harvesting. However, 53.9% of the respondents reported that their Departments did not care about training on agricultural precision. Nevertheless, 24.3 % of the respondents got trained on precision agriculture through personal efforts, while about 19% got trained by their respective Departments. In regard to education, 16% of the respondents got trained on precision agriculture at undergraduate and only 9% after graduation. The study concludes that despite the rapid technological development, agriculture in Sudan remained lagging, and the productivity is below the expectation. It recommends that the Ministries of Agriculture in different States in Sudan should take the issue of introduction of new technology seriously to boost the agricultural development to attain food security.
MONITORING DYNAMIC GLOBAL DEFLECTION OF A BRIDGE BY MONOCULAR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Authors: Zhang Guojian , Guo Guangli , Yu Chengxin , Li Long
Published: October 2018

This study uses MDP (monocular digital photography) to monitor the dynamic global deflection of a bridge with the PST-TBP (Photographing scale transformation-time baseline parallax) method in which the reference system set near the camera is perpendicular to the photographing direction and does not need parallel to the bridge plane. A SONY350 camera was used to shoot the bridge every two seconds when the excavator was moving on the bridge and produced ten image sequences. Results show that the PST-TBP method is effective in solving the problem of the photographing direction being perpendicular to the bridge plane in monitoring the bridge by MDP. The PST-TBP method can achieve sub-pixel matching accuracy (0.3 pixels). The maximal deflection of the bridge is 55.34 mm which is within the bridge’s allowed value of 75mm. The MDPS (monocular digital photography system) depicts deflection trends of the bridge in real time, which can warn the possible danger of the bridge in time. It provides key information to assess the bridge health on site and to study the dynamic global deformation mechanism of a bridge caused by dynamic vehicle load. MDP is expected to be applied to monitor the dynamic global deflection of a bridge.

Authors: Plášek Jan , Ridoško Tomáš , Ekr Jan , Kytýr Jiří , Gratza Roman
Published: October 2018

The study presents a numerical analysis of the impact of creep in thermoplastic stub ends on the flange clamping force of a thermoplastic pipe flange connection. The analysis uses available creep modulus values that depend on the stress level, temperature and time. A method that takes the creep modulus into account is proposed and applied to four different detailed variants with the aid of the finite element method. The calculations were performed for selected times at a constant temperature and with static load. The obtained results show that the influence of creep in thermoplastic stub ends causes a substantial reduction in flange clamping force in less than one year.
“Lessons meete to be followed”: The European Reception of Boccaccio’s “Questioni d’amore”
Authors: Edwards Robert Roy
Published: October 2018

The “Questioni d’amore” from Giovanni Boccaccio’s Filocolo were both works of imagination and forms of cultural capital in medieval and early modern Europe. Translations into French, Spanish, and English resituated the Questioni into new contexts of reading, reception, and social use. Prefaces and paratexts give direct evidence of recontextualizations within political structures, cultural programs, and regimes of self-fashioning. These recontextualizations depend to a significant extent, however, on Boccaccio’s fiction itself. If the Questioni are stabilized into forms of exemplary meaning, their aesthetic tensions remain in both the mimetic narratives and the hermeneutic frames.
The Materiality of Meaning: identity and multiple-authorship in Sor María Manuela de Santana’s Esquelas originales de correspondencia espiritual y poesías místicas
Authors: Janiga-Perkins Constance G
Published: October 2018

This article analyzes the spiritual correspondence of María Manuela de Santana from two perspectives. First, we examine the study of identity carried out in the rhetoric of the Peruvian nun’s letters, with an eye to identifying the messages she is trying to give the reader regarding her spiritual life here on earth. Then we discuss the effects of multiple-authorship on María Manuela de Santana’s voice in the Esquelas by examining the material role in the text of the editing subject. We will center our efforts on the development of María Manuela as both narrator and protagonist, and show how the material manifestations of multiple- authorship affect our perception of women’s voices during the Early Modern age in Spanish America.
An Outside View: Illustrations to the 1926 Subscribers’ Edition of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
Authors: Notfors Emma
Published: October 2018

The use of illustrations in mass-produced travel narratives had become commonplace, if not to say accepted practice, by the early Twentieth Century. Advancements in printing technologies allowed such books to be experienced by readers as sensory environments constituted by textual imagery and the successive display of vantage points and objects of the illustrations. Printing techniques and aspects of the physical book contribute to this visual ecology, resulting in a readerly construction of an aesthetic environment drawing on the collective output of author, printers and illustrators. It is as just such an aesthetic environment that this article will seek to understand the 1926 subscribers’ edition of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph, T.E. Lawrence’s account of his role in the Arab Revolt during the First World War. In order to analyse how these decisions work together to form an aesthetic whole, this article will consider its context in terms of the development of photography as the dominant illustrative mode for travel literature before moving on to an analysis of Lawrence’s own use of this medium before engaging with elements such as layout, typography, decoration and, finally, a series of illustrations produced by Eric Kennington.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Value for English Learning: Mediation Effects of Self-Efficacy in Chinese EFL Context
Authors: Ma Lihong , Du Xiaofeng , Liu Jian
Published: October 2018

The present study examined how students’ intrinsic and extrinsic value promotes their foreign language proficiency via the mediation effect of self-efficacy beliefs. A total of 1,036 Chinese eighth graders answered an English proficiency test and questionnaires assessing motivational beliefs. Structural equation modelling results with bootstrapping procedures revealed that intrinsic value can directly and indirectly influence foreign language proficiency via partial mediation effect of self-efficacy while extrinsic value can only directly influence foreign language proficiency with a small magnitude. Moreover, there is no gender difference in the mediation model. Our findings suggested that intrinsic value can help students improve foreign language proficiency by improving their self-efficacy beliefs. The findings contribute to the documents of self-determination theory and hold substantive theoretical and practical implications for foreign language teachers.
A Case Study on Elementary CSL Learners’ Reading Anxiety
Authors: Sun Xiaohui , Luo Shaoqian
Published: October 2018

This paper reports a case study that explores elementary learners’ reading anxiety over Chinese as a second language (CSL). Two elementary CSL learners were chosen as research participants. Lived experience descriptions, think-aloud, retrospective interviews, field observations, and research journal writings were used to investigate the sources of elementary CSL learners’ reading anxiety and the ways employed to reduce their reading anxiety. The data were analyzed by Moustakas’ (1994) data analysis procedures, Creswell’s (2007) three steps, and Bogdon & Biklen’s (1992) data analysis methods. Results show that elementary CSL learners do have reading anxiety in their reading process and the sources of the anxiety include cross-linguistic differences between English and Chinese expressions, lack of previous knowledge, difficult and complex vocabulary, wrong guesses, and comprehension difficulties. Both participants tried to use strategies such as guessing, looking up words, understanding two character words based on the meaning of each character, skipping and keeping reading, and using previous knowledge to predict the rest of the text to reduce their reading anxiety. The present study provides both theoretical and pedagogical implications in the field of CSL reading learning and teaching.
Oral English Skills of Chinese University Students in Describing Their Native Culture
Authors: Lin Meixiao
Published: October 2018

This paper addresses the issue of Chinese students’ oral English skills in talking about Chinese culture from the perspective of conversation analysis. To examine their performance in this regard, group discussion data in the classroom were collected for analysis. Their oral skills in talking about Chinese New Year and Christmas, a Western festival, were analyzed and compared to determine their oral performance in describing their native culture. Comments by two native English speakers on the students’ performance are used to complement the conversation analysis. The results indicate that, compared with their performance regarding Christmas, the students were able to express a wider range of cultural connotations about Chinese New Year in English, but they used significantly fewer correct culturally-loaded words and phrases, and switched to Chinese much more frequently, suggesting unsatisfactory oral skills in describing Chinese culture.
Saussurian biolinguistics? Bouchard’s offline brain systems and Sign Theory of Language
Authors: Feeney Andrew
Published: October 2018

This article examines Bouchard’s (e.g. Bouchard, D. 2010. From neurons to signs. In A. D. M. Smith, M. Schouwstra, B. de Boer & K. Smith (ed.), Proceedings of the 8th International conference on the evolution of language, 42–49. Singapore: World Scientific; Bouchard, D. 2013. The nature and origin of language. Oxford: Oxford University Press; Bouchard, D. 2015. Brain readiness and the nature of language. Frontiers in Psychology 6.) discussion of the nature of language as ‘Saussurian Biolinguistics.’ A fundamental assumption of Bouchard, that of the existence of the Saussurian sign as a psychologically real entity in language, is disputed and an alternative understanding of the semiotic function of language is stressed. The consequences of Bouchard’s adoption of double interface signs for the relation of language to thought are also discussed and it is argued that such an approach leads inexorably to a form of linguistic relativity, and that positing a language independent ‘mentalese’ resolves this problem. The proposed model of language evolution, in which Bouchard is sceptical of protolanguage, is challenged, as are his claims regarding the properties of the language faculty. Bouchard presents a theory of the cognitive underpinning of language, ‘Offline Brain Systems,’ which is inadequate in accounting for the unique properties of human cognition. Instead, a more insightful and explanatorily comprehensive theory is presented here: dual-processing and the Representational Hypothesis.
FGFR3-related hypochondroplasia: longitudinal growth in 57 children with the p.Asn540Lys mutation
Authors: Arenas María Alejandra , del Pino Mariana , Fano Virginia
Published: October 2018

Background

Children with hypochondroplasia (HCH), who have FGFR3 mutations c.1620C>A or c.1620C>G (p.Asn540Lys) appear to have a more severe phenotype than those with HCH without these mutations. We describe the change in height, leg length and body proportions in a retrospective cohort of children with HCH related-p.Asn540Lys mutation and we compared them with Argentine population.

Methods

Anthropometric measurements were initially taken and followed up by the same observer, with standardized techniques. Sitting height/height and head circumference/height ratio were calculated as a body disproportion indicator. In order to make a comparison with the Argentine population height average, centiles of height, leg length and body proportions were estimated by the LMS method.

Results

The sample consisted of 57 HCH children (29 males and 28 females) between the ages of 0–18 years. The median (interquartile range) number of measurements per child was 8 (4.3, 13) for height, 7 (4, 12) for sitting height and 7.5 (4, 12.8) for head circumference. Leg length increased from 17 cm at birth to approximately 54 cm in adolescents, 25 cm shorter than the leg length in non-HCH populations. Sitting height increased from 39 cm at birth to 81 cm in adolescents, 7 cm below mean in non-HCH adolescents. Mean (range) adult height were 143.6 cm (131–154.5) and 130.8 cm (124–138) for males and females, respectively.

Conclusions

The disharmonic growth between the less affected trunk and the severely affected limbs determine body disproportion in HCH.
A Low-Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet Reduces Body Mass Without Compromising Performance in Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting Athletes

Published: October 2018

Greene, DA, Varley, BJ, Hartwig, TB, Chapman, P, and Rigney, M. A low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet reduces body mass without compromising performance in powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(12): 3382–3391, 2018—Weight class athletes use weight-making strategies to compete in specific weight categories with an optimum power-to-weight ratio. There is evidence that low carbohydrate diets might offer specific advantages for weight reduction without the negative impact on strength and power previously hypothesized to accompany carbohydrate restriction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) could be used as a weight reduction strategy for athletes competing in the weight class sports of powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. Fourteen intermediate to elite competitive lifting athletes (age 34 ± 10.5, n = 5 female) consumed an ad libitum usual diet (UD) (>250 g daily intake of carbohydrates) and an ad libitum LCKD (≤50 g or ≤10% daily intake of carbohydrates) in random order, each for 3 months in a crossover design. Lifting performance, body composition, resting metabolic rate, blood glucose, and blood electrolytes were measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The LCKD phase resulted in significantly lower body mass (−3.26 kg, p = 0.038) and lean mass (−2.26 kg, p = 0.016) compared with the UD phase. Lean mass losses were not reflected in lifting performances that were not different between dietary phases. No other differences in primary or secondary outcome measures were found between dietary phases. Weight class athletes consuming an ad libitum LCKD decreased body mass and achieved lifting performances that were comparable with their UD. Coaches and athletes should consider using an LCKD to achieve targeted weight reduction goals for weight class sports.
Association between Social Class, Greed, and Unethical Behaviour: A Replication Study
Authors: Clerke Alexa S. , Brown Matthew , Forchuk Callista , Campbell Lorne
Published: October 2018

Recent research has focused on the potential negative consequences of belonging to the upper class. The present study attempted to directly replicate previous research examining whether upper-class individuals had more positive attitudes toward greed than lower-class individuals, and whether these attitudes mediated the negative association between social class and unethical behaviour. The current research includes two studies with 317 and 320 participants, from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and Prolific Academic, respectively. We used the same measures and procedures of the original research. The resulting dataset, and analytic code, are hosted on the Open Science Framework (Clerke et al., 2017). Collectively these datasets provide access to data from over 600 participants pertaining to social class, ethical behaviour, and sociodemographic information, such as obtained education and religious and political orientation. As in the original, we found a significant positive correlation between SES and greed in one of two studies, however the size of the effect was smaller. Contrary to the original, we did not find a significant association between SES and the propensity to lie in a hypothetical salary negotiation.
Nuevas miradas sobre los murales del convento agustino de Malinalco. Nueva España, siglo XVI
Authors: Von Wobeser Gisela
Published: October 2018

En el presente artículo se propone revisar las interpretaciones que a la fecha existen sobre los murales del claustro bajo del convento agustino de Malinalco (México), realizados por indígenas en el siglo XVI, mediante la técnica de la grisalla. En él se rebate la idea de que lo representado es el paraíso celestial o el paraíso terrenal y se sugiere que el programa iconográfico se centra en los 12 escudos monumentales, alusivos a los nombres de Jesús, de María y al emblema de la orden agustina. Asimismo, se destaca la importancia ornamental de los motivos fitomorfos y zoomorfos que acompañan los escudos y que predominan visualmente dentro del conjunto. Se señala que las fuentes para la realización de los distintos motivos que componen los murales son muy diversas y provienen tanto de Europa, de códices americanos y del entorno natural de Malinalco. Finalmente se analiza el friso epigráfico y se sugiere que la principal finalidad de los murales fue alabar a Dios, con la esperanza de la salvación eterna.

Los certámenes de Paisaje Rural y la expansión de la mancha urbana en Costa Rica (1973-2003)
Authors: Zavaleta Ochoa Eugenia
Published: October 2018

Entre 1973 y el 2003, se realizaron los llamados Certámenes de Paisaje Rural y algunos Certámenes de Paisaje Urbano, los cuales fueron organizados por instituciones estatales. El objetivo de este artículo es determinar las razones que tuvieron instancias oficiales para retomar e incentivar nuevamente el tema del paisaje rural, el cual había tenido una preponderancia en la década de 1930. Para esto, se recurrió principalmente a la consulta de periódicos de la época y archivos del Museo de Arte Costarricense y del Ministerio de Cultura Juventud y Deportes. Asimismo, fue relevante la realización de entrevistas a organizadores, artistas y jurados que participaron en dichos concursos. A la luz de estas fuentes, se estableció que –por un lado– el Estado se había convertido en un agente urbanizador y –por otro lado– se aferraba a una representación plástica de la nación: el paisaje rural.
Política y cultura de género en Nicaragua. Caso: Salvador Mendieta Cascante
Authors: Morales Mairena Claudia
Published: October 2018

La coyuntura histórico política de inicios del siglo XX en Nicaragua planteó retos mayúsculos en torno a las ciudadanías modélicas. El acento respecto a las ciudadanías estaba en los discursos sobre la moral y la castidad por los cuales corrió mucha tinta de manos de ilustres intelectuales nicaragüenses, entre ellos el líder unionista Salvador Mendieta Cascante. Este trabajo tiene por propósito analizar los discursos de intelectuales nicaragüenses, en especial de Mendieta sobre las construcciones ideales de género: femenino/masculino. Para ello, analizo sus diarios personales, exámenes morales y su obra más importante, La Enfermedad de Centroamérica.

Estudio y lucha: memorias del movimiento estudiantil universitario salvadoreño en el contexto neoliberal de posguerra
Authors: Henríquez Chávez Alan Marcelo
Published: October 2018

Se discute la desarticulación de la Asociación General de Estudiantes Universitarios Salvadoreños (AGEUS) recuperando las memorias de dos exmilitantes durante el período 1992-2000 recolectadas utilizando entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se busca comprender cómo, en el contexto de nuevas garantías civiles de la posguerra, AGEUS se desarticula a menos de diez años de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz (1992), habiéndose mantenido activa desde 1927. El análisis se desarrolla en tres momentos: un esbozo del papel histórico de la AGEUS, una descripción resumida del impulso neoliberal de principios de la década de 1990 y el análisis de las memorias de dos militantes del último período de actividad de AGEUS. Las conclusiones permiten cuestionar la forma en que el FMLN coordinó su transición de guerrilla a partido político, haciendo recurso de los líderes de movimientos sociales.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE FAR EAST WIND RESOURCES ENERGY EFFICIENCY ON THE BASIS OF THE SWARM INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHM
Authors: Manusov V. Z. , Khasanzoda N.
Published: October 2018

The paper shows the necessity of power consumption modes and energy balance optimization of an intelligent network (Smart Grid) with a function of two-way energy flow based on the alternative energy sources. In this regard, the concept of a generating consumer which provides the ability to flexibly regulate energy flows and equalize the load schedule as well as to minimize the financial costs of the consumed energy are introduced for the active consumers. The paper’s key point is the use of self wind resources which are quite large in the coastal zone of the Far East and on the Russky and Popov islands. A new mathematical model of the optimal energy balance has been developed with the participation of generating consumers and an alternative source of energy in the form of a wind resource as an intelligent system with a two-way flow of energy. Moreover, the paper proposes a system for selecting the priority of generation sources which minimizes the material and financial costs of the electric consumer. At the same time, the swarm particle of swarm algorithm is used as a universal method for solving the optimization multi-criterion problem. The new concept of an intelligent network with active consumers and a two-way flow of energy from alternative sources with the function of its accumulation allows significantly increasing the energy efficiency of wind resources using. Considering special status of some territories of the Far East and the shortage of energy resources, using of alternative energy of wind flows can largely solve the energy problem.

Abstract:

The authors summarize the medical history of a patient with impaired healing of a wound in the sole of foot. The 63-year-old male patient had a second-degree burn in the sole of the left foot as he stepped on the hot concrete after taking off his slipper. On admission to our department, local wound management had already been started, his wound showed no healing tendency. Bilateral X-ray was performed of his left leg, osteomyelitis was not confirmed, soft tissue drainage was applied, and bacterial culture from the wound confirmed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. After soaking the leg in water, phlegmon developed on the dorsal part of the foot and the patient had septic fever. X-ray was repeated, and osteomyelitis was confirmed. Enucleation of the hallux of the left foot and metatarsal resection were performed. Wound dressing was exchanged and wound toilette was applied daily, insulin therapy was modified after consultation with a diabetologist. 7 months after the surgery, the wound was completely healed, carbohydrate metabolism of the patient was controlled. Our case draws attention to the importance of informing the patients of potential complications – in this case of the diabetic foot and its proper care. Treatment of ulcer of the lower leg requires multidisciplinary care, which means that the diabetologist and the surgeon has to cooperate in the care of these patients, carbohydrate metabolism should be balanced and regular wound care is necessary.

Abstract:

Introduction: Acquired bone marrow failures are rare but fatal diseases in childhood. Since 2013, Hungary has been participating as a full member in the work of the European Working Group on uniform diagnostics and therapy in patients with acquired bone marrow failure syndromes. Hypocellular refractory cytopenia of childhood has been emphasized as a frequent entity, transplanted by reduced intensity conditioning with excellent outcomes. Aim: To analyse and compare the results of treatment before and after our joining. Method: A total of 55 patients have been treated in the 8 centres of the Hungarian Pediatric Oncology Network during 5 years between 2013 and 2017 (severe aplastic anemia: 9, myelodysplastic syndrome: 41, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia: 5 patients). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was performed in severe aplastic anemia in 7 cases, while antithymocyte globulin was administered in one case and one patient died before diagnosis. In patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, watch and wait strategy was applied in 4, while transplantation in 37 cases. Reduced intensity conditioning was used in 54 percent of these cases. Transplantation was the treatment of choice in all 5 patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Results: In the whole patient cohort, the time from diagnosis to treatment was median 92 (3–393) days, while in severe aplastic anemia median 28 (3–327) days only. Grade II–IV acute graft versus host disease occurred in 22.6%, grade III–IV in 6.8% and chronic in 11.2%. All the patients treated with severe aplastic anemia are alive and in complete remission (100%). The overall estimated survival rate is 85.1% in myelodysplastic syndrome, while 75% in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. The median follow-up was 30.4 (1.1–62.5) months. There was a remarkable increase in overall survival comparing the data before (1992–2012) and after (2013) joining the international group, 70% vs. 100% (p = 0.133) in severe aplastic anemia and 31.3% vs. 85.1% (p = 0.000026) in myelodysplastic syndrome. Conclusion: Due to a change in the paradigm of the conditioning regimen in hypocellular refractory cytopenia of childhood, the overall survival rate has significantly increased.

Abstract:

Dental amalgam has been used for more than 150 years due to its beneficial mechanical properties and durability in dentistry. In the past and to date, many questions about amalgam restorations have arisen, especially regarding the mercury content, which has been the subject of global disputes. By presenting the past and present of the ‘amalgam issue’, the aim of our paper is to display the current position of international literature. This summary is based on the publications in the PubMed database, the guidelines of the Council of European Dentists. Although the use of dental amalgam is widespread, concerns have been raised about the adverse effect on human health and the environment, focusing on its heavy metal pollution during waste treatment. In 2017, the European Union (EU) adopted the so-called Mercury Regulation, based on the United Nations Minamata Convention on Mercury, the recommendations of which are presented in the present review. This Regulation includes the requirement for EU Member States to develop a national action plan for the phase-down of amalgam. The feasibility plan for complete phase-out may be guaranteed by 2030. The authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of possible amalgam alternatives by presenting glass-ionomers and resin-based composites. In the future, more material research programmes and long-term follow-up studies are necessary. In addition to several global health organizations, the Council of European Dentists also draws attention to prevent dental caries, expecting to reduce the number of restorations.

A metodologia utilizada compreendeu em um levantamento e análise do referencial teórico sobre o tema aliado a realização de uma pesquisa empírica no Instituto Federal de São Paulo, por meio da análise feita em um boletim institucional que encontra-se com publicação suspensa. Considera-se, que após a analise e discussões efetuadas, a publicação é um veículo importante para a comunicação pública da ciência, por se tratar de um mecanismo de integração entre categorias e não de segregação.
Comunicação: interação e mediação via computador em contextos organizacionais
Authors: Mourão Isaura Generoso
Published: October 2018

Partindo de pesquisa realizada sobre a construção do discurso da comunicação no contexto das organizações, o presente artigo busca provocar uma reflexão acerca do potencial das mídias sociais digitais como espaço de interação entre a sociedade e as organizações, uma vez que esse locus pode proporcionar a circulação da informação, a controvérsia e o debate social, acionados pelos sujeitos individuais e coletivos em interação. Nesse sentido, pretendem-se discutir aqui conceitos associados, em especial os de interação e mediação por computador, e sua percepção e/ou apropriação por profissionais de comunicação que atuam em organizações entrevistados durante a referida pesquisa. Busca-se, por fim, levantar questionamentos que possam instigar pesquisas nessa linha, contribuindo para a construção teórica acerca das mídias sociais digitais como forma e/ou canal de interação entre a sociedade e as organizações.

Pedagogik, institution och kunskapsobjekt
Authors: Linné Agneta

This essay, Educational science, institution, and epistemic objects, includes comments on two themes: “Educational science from university discipline to field of knowledge”, and “Searching for the epistemic objects of educational science”. The approach is partly autobiographic. Taking 1968 as starting point, the institutional conditions and transformations of educational science as a university discipline in Sweden are outlined, primarily using one of the larger departments of education as a case. The analysis highlights the substantial expansion and differentiation that characterize the development and places it within a university reform context. The second theme goes further back in time and highlights the historical roots of education as a university discipline. Epistemic objects of the Herbartian tradition are discussed, as well as of the expanding experimental psychology at the time of the first chair of educational science in Sweden. The great expectations after the Second World War for a new school are outlined together with growing research traditions, highlighting classroom language and the teaching process. In the diversified research landscape of the last decades, studies of curriculum theory, education policy, and history of education are emphasized and a plea is made for critical studies of history and education based on broad theoretical perspectives.
Pedagogik med inriktning mot yngre barns utveckling och lärande

The professorship I held was denoted "Pedagogy with a focus on the development and learning of younger children". It was a newly instituted professorship at the Teacher Education Program at the newly founded university college in Malmö. The purpose was dual - to further develop research related to children’s development and learning in pre-school as well as to contribute to the academization of the pre-school teacher education. It was initiated by the director of the Teacher Education Program, and was placed at the department responsible for preschool teacher education. In this article, the professorship´s purpose and orientation will be discussed in a historical perspective. It considers significant aspects of the development of the program for pre-school education, such as practical pedagogy, knowledge traditions, and gender. In addition, it suggests that the development of this program was characterized by a complicated relationship to the state as well as the academy, involving efforts to reconcile both sides. The article also discusses the late nationalization of this program and why a professorship was established in 1999 to support research and academic development. Other themes discussed, with examples from my own work as researcher, expert, and teacher, are the terms and conditions of the research area, special initiatives, and continuity and discontinuity.
Pedagogiken och lärarna
Authors: Carlgren Ingrid
Published: October 2018

Många ser antagligen pedagogikämnet som läraryrkets teoretiska kunskapsgrund. Relationen mellan universitetsämnet pedagogik och lärarutbildningen har dock alltid varit ansträngd. Även om lärarutbildningens behov var ett viktigt motiv för inrättandet av den första professuren i pedagogik i början av 1900-talet, har pedagogikämnet inte utvecklats till att bli den kunskapsbas läraryrket behöver. Bland annat genom att pedagogikforskningen i stor utsträckning ägnat sig åt utbildningsfrågor snarare än undervisning, framstår pedagogikdisciplinen mer som politikers och policyaktörers vetenskap än lärarnas. Lärarutbildningen och universitetspedagogiken är i stor utsträckning skilda världar och även om det undervisas i pedagogik på lärarutbildningarna så är det något annat än universitetsdisciplinen pedagogik. Detta skapar en oklarhet angående innebörden i pedagogik, som förutom universitetsdisciplinen pedagogik kan syfta på pedagogiken i lärarutbildningen eller olika pedagogiska skolor. En annan aspekt är att den oklara situationen försvårar utvecklingen av en för läraryrket egen och självständig kunskapsbas. Eftersom det finns en föreställning om att en sådan redan finns omvandlas problemet att lärarna saknar en egen vetenskap till att bli en fråga om att lärare inte använder den kunskap som finns.

Artikeln beskriver några aspekter av pedagogikens utveckling – på universitetet såväl som på lärarutbildningen – med fokus på relationen mellan pedagogiken och lärarna.

Avslutningsvis diskuteras inrättandet av utbildningsvetenskap och de möjligheter att tydligare urskilja olika pedagogiska kunskapsområden och därigenom realistiska förväntningar på vad dessa olika områden kan eller inte kan bidra med till läraryrket och lärarutbildningen.
