The most common cause of neurological disability in childhood is cerebral palsy. The objectives of the treatment of children with cerebral palsy are the acquisition and maintenance of new motor skills; prevention of the development of contractures and other secondary orthopedic complications; decrease in the level of pain; improving the level of childcare. At the same time, the provision of treatment and rehabilitation assistance to children with cerebral palsy requires an integrated, systematic approach. The article describes the route of rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy in the Chuvash Republic from the moment of diagnosis until reaching the age of 18. The study was carried out on the basis of an analysis of data from the regional register of children with cerebral palsy at all stages of treatment and rehabilitation (habilitation). The first stage includes the identification of risk groups for cerebral palsy, conservative, surgical specialized medical care. The register of children with cerebral palsy made it possible to keep records of patients at the stages of treatment and rehabilitation with an assessment of the results. At the second stage, high-tech conservative and surgical treatment is carried out. After operations, patients are sent for rehabilitation to a 24-hour hospital or to a Rehabilitation Center for Children (over 3 years, 1.5 thousand children were treated, 25.7% after operations). The third stage is organized at the outpatient clinic level and in specialized sanatoriums. For 20142018 the coverage of children with cerebral palsy with conservative treatment increased 1.9 times, with botulinum therapy 2.6 times, the proportion of those who received surgery decreased to 22.4%. 92.7% of patients of the Register are covered by conservative treatment. 33.3% of operated children were referred for sanatorium-resort treatment. The control section of the rehabilitation results showed an increase in the proportion of children with improved gait quality, the ability to stand independently, walk (with support), and an increase in the average level of physical activity. A multi-level system of interagency interaction in the provision of treatment and rehabilitation assistance to children with cerebral palsy in Chuvash Republic made it possible to ensure a sufficient amount of basic and availability of highly qualified medical care, effective management and control of the stages of rehabilitation.

Published: April 2021

The number of victims with difficult defects of the skull bones, which should restore the integrity of the skull is growing annually, both in connection with the increase in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and in connection with the expansion of indications for decompressive craniotomy not only in traumatic brain injury, but also vascular disease, neuro-Oncology for the relief of hypertension-dislocation syndrome. Cranioplasty at the stage of early rehabilitation of patients after decopressive craniotomy is an important condition for effective rehabilitation measures. Currently, titanium, polyether ethyl ketone (PEEK), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and hydroxyapatite are actively used as the material for the implant. Unfortunately, none of the synthetic materials used meet the conditions of the perfect implant by 100%. CAD/CAM 3D printing technologies are used to achieve absolute accuracy of the implant that replicates the missing part of the patients skull bone, which is especially important in the presence of extensive and complex defects. The use of this technology at the preoperative stage directly in the medical institution where the cranioplasty will be performed avoids additional logistics, reduces the time from the patients admission to the hospital before the operation and reduces the cost of manufacturing implants, making them more accessible to healthcare institutions. also, the absence of the need for intraoperative implant adjustment significantly reduces the operation time, reduces the risk of infectious complications and complications associated with prolonged general anesthesia. The favorable course of the postoperative period allows you to resume rehabilitation activities on the third or fourth day after cranioplasty.

Authors: Mikhailovskaya Tatyana V. , Mishina Irina E. , Nazarova Olga A. , Dovgalyuk Yuri V. , Chistyakova Julia V.
Published: April 2021

Background.Even though the six-minute walking test is a simple and widely available tool for the evaluation of the functional capacity of cardiac patients, its interpretation is associated with some difficulties and contradictions.Aims:To evaluate the dynamics of tolerance to physical activity during outpatient rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease using predicted values of distance in the six-minute walking test.Materials and methods.97 patients (70 men and 27 women, average age 59.6 [50; 60] years) after acute coronary syndrome and after myocardial revascularization were included. The six-minute walking test was performed at the beginning of the 3-weeks stage of cardiac rehabilitation and before the patients discharge. The results of the test were reported as an absolute value, a change in absolute value, and the percentage of predicted values, estimated with the reference equation by Enright and colleagues.Results.The absolute value of distance in the six-minute walking test was increased significantly from 418 [385; 465] m to 485 [440; 525] m (p0.001). The number of patients with a distance less than 300 m was decreased significantly (12 patients, 12% vs 2 patients, 2%,p0.001). In most patients, the absolute increase in distance was 30 m and more (81 people, 84%). After comparing the perceived data with the calculated predicted values, it was revealed that the distance raised from 79 [71; 82]% to 92 [88; 96]% of the predicted values. And 56 patients (58%) had a distance equal to 90% or more from its predicted value.Conclusions.During the third stage of cardiac rehabilitation the significant increase of the absolute value of the six-minute walking test, the growth of the percentage of predicted values, and the decrease of patients with a distance less than 300 m were found. All these estimation methods may be used to demonstrate and prove favourable changes of tolerance to physical activity in patients with ischemic heart disease.
El "misterio incomprensible de la vida". Lugar y estatuto de la figura de lo orgánico para la comprensión de la razón y del Absoluto en la filosofía de Hegel
Authors: Palermo Sandra Viviana
Published: April 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar y determinar el estatuto y el lugar de la vida para la concepción hegeliana de la razón, como así también la relación entre tales caracteres y el despliegue sistemático. El desdoblamiento del concepto de vida en la Lógica, en la cual la vida aparece como inmediata existencia de la idea que ha de ser superada en el conocer y en la idea absoluta y, al mismo tiempo, reaparece en esta última, definiéndola en su más íntimo carácter y en su especificidad anticipa y recoge el lugar de la vida dentro del cuadro sistemático; aquí la misma se presenta como momento constitutivo y genético mas no definitorio del espíritu, pues ha de ser superado por aquel y, al mismo tiempo, como la verdadera y más propia especificidad del espíritu.

Authors: Octavia Umi Fatma , Chozin Iin Nur , Sugiri Yani Jane
Published: April 2021

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic which is currently sweeping the world is an infectious disease that has only recently been identified and provides challenges for experts in dealing with and overcoming its spread. Fast and precise diagnostics are needed for the appropriate management of Covid-19. The value of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) have been investigated for their potential and ability as a diagnostic and prognostic approach. In Indonesia alone the spread of Covid-19 is quite high and alarming. Evidence of characteristics and clinical manifestation of Covid-19 is imperative.

Methods: This study was an observational analytic study of hematological laboratory parameters that measured the values of NLR, MLR, ALC, and procalcitonin in patients under Covid-19 monitoring. All data were obtained from the medical records of patients treated in the isolation ward of the emerging and re-emerging infectious disease at Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang. This study also compared these variables between groups of patients confirmed by Covid-19 and those that were not confirmed, in order to identify the characteristics of patients in Covid-19 monitoring at Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang.

Results: From 40 study subjects, the average age of all subjects was 49.58 ± 16.42 years. The confirmed cases of Covid-19 tend to be younger compared to the unconfirmed, in the age range of 15-49 years . The majority of the sex of the study subjects were male, with the predominance of the female in the confirmed patient group. The most prominent complaints are coughing and shortness of breath, while the most common co-morbidity is hypertension. The NLR, MLR, ALC, and procalcitonin values of patients confirmed Covid-19 did not differ significantly from those unconfirmed. The length of stay between the two groups was 7.8 ± 2.44 days for Covid-19 confirmed patients and 5.65 ± 3.08 days for unconfirmed Covid-19 patients.

Conclusion: The results of this study show that patients with suspicion of Covid-19 in Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang are dominated by young adults . There were no significant differences of NLR, MLR, ALC, and Procalcitonin in either confirmed and non-confirmed Covid-19 patients.

Politik dan Ekonomi Terengganu pada Hujung Abad Ke-18: Kajian terhadap Warkah Sultan Mansur Shah I
Authors:   Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Mohamed Amin Abd Ur-Rahman
Published: April 2021

This article discusses the contents of 17 letters from Sultan Mansur Shah I, the Sultan of Terengganu, are preserved in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London with the reference number SOAS MS 40320. Written in Malay using Arabic script, these were sent between 1785 and 1794. The contents discuss the political history of Terengganu involving foreign relations with the Siamese and the British. The Siamese were a continuous threat to Terengganu, especially after the Siamese conquest of Patani in 1785. Therefore, Terengganu sought to establish diplomatic relations with the British East India Company to protect it from the Siamese invasion. However, the attempt was unsuccessful due to the East India Company’s principle of non-involvement in Malay affairs. In terms of economy, Terengganu had trade links with Palembang, which supplied pepper and tin, as well as with ports in Java and Borneo. Terengganu also had trade relations with China and India. The Sultan of Terengganu employed a royal merchant, Saudagar Nasruddin, to manage his trade. British ships were used to carry pilgrims to Mecca through ports in Pulau Pinang and India. The letters also discuss the lineage of Sultan Mansur Shah I, which closely links him to the Johor and Patani sultanates. The entire contents of these letters have helped to provide more detailed information on the politics and economy of the Terengganu sultanate in the late 18th century.

Published: April 2021

Determining the knowledge and skills of students are identified as aspects in enhancing the students’ academic performance in sciences. Using the research instrument composed of test items and process skills checklist, data were gathered from 332 grade 8 students from the seven (7) public high schools in the Division of Santiago City, Philippines to assess their knowledge and science process skills in learning grade 8-Chemistry. Standard score (z-score) and descriptive statistics were used to analyzed the data. It was revealed that the student-respondents’ knowledge belongs to “developing proficiency level” while their process skills were rated as poor in their grade 8-Chemistry subject. In using the z-scores, most of the respondents are partially proficient in their scientific knowledge and skills. Based from the result, specific topics in grade 8 chemistry that needs an intervention material were identified. These intervention materials will be subjected to validation and further assessment. In improving the level of process skills and knowledge, students are encouraged to participate in different chemistry activities and for the teachers to elevate their science instruction and students’ academic performances.

We prove that the set of second degree cumulative frontier gaps, via fractional integrals of positive orders, of twice differentiable functions having generalized convexity at the level of the second derivative is upper bounded. A sharp Hermite-Hadamard type inequality via fractional integrals leads to an evaluation of this upper bound, which does not depend on the order of the fractional integration. Six particular generalized convexity properties are investigated from the point of view of this boundary property.

For an ordered subset S = {s1, s2, . . . sk} of vertices in a connected graph G, the metric representation of a vertex u with respect to the set S is the k-vector r(u|S) = (dG(v, s1), dG(v, s2), . . . , dG(v, sk)), where dG(x, y) represents the distance between the vertices x and y. The set S is a metric generator for G if every two different vertices of G have distinct metric representations with respect to S. A minimum metric generator is called a metric basis for G and its cardinality, dim(G), the metric dimension of G. It is well known that the problem of finding the metric dimension of a graph is NP-Hard. In this paper we obtain closed formulae and tight bounds for the metric dimension of strong product graphs.

Exegetical Practices of John Chrysostom and the Formation of the Subject of Faith
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Прохоров Е. А.
Published: April 2021

This article attempts to consider John Chrysostom’s practice of exegesis (interpretation of biblical texts) from the point of view of the formation of the subject of faith. The main research method applied here is multilevel hermeneutic and exegetical text analysis. The author of this study shows how John Chrysostom’s exegesis evolves from a simple set of tools into a condition for a person’s self-change. According to John Chrysostom, a subject engaging in exegesis transforms and brings his mind into a holistic state. The purified mind becomes able to notice its own non-authentic existence, while authentic existence must be revealed to the subject in the process of biblical interpretation. This happens when the interpreter questions himself and doubts the existence. Text interpretation for an exegete is not an act of studying an object. Exegesis is fundamentally dialogical in nature and is based on the subject–subject relationship, thus presenting an opportunity to meet with the Other being, which needs to ask a question about itself. Questioning the Other is an attempt to get out of the closed world and start moving towards the truth. The truth lies before the subject and opens up new ways of existence for him. Becoming a subject is always incomplete: it is impossible to reach the moment of final formation since the truth cannot be exhausted, one can endlessly approach it. A unique and inimitable relationship is established between the truth and the subject, opening up new ways of being. It is safe to say that exegesis for the subject becomes an act of creating his own life.
Metástasis de los simulacros y metástasis digital en "La novela perfecta" de Carmen Boullosa
Authors: López Pellisa Teresa
Published: April 2021

Hemos diagnosticado como metástasis de los simulacros a la patología que se produce en algunos textos cuya temática gira en torno a la realidad virtual. La podemos detectar cuando analizamos la función del incremento de niveles de simulación, a través de lo que hemos denominado metadiégesis digital. Con esta herramienta podemos diseccionar los diversos niveles de virtualidad y realidad virtual generados por máquinas digitales en los textos literarios y cinematográficos de ciencia ficción, partiendo de las teorías de Gérard Genette. A partir de su concepto de “metadiégesis”, proponemos el sintagma “metadiégesis digital”, para hacer referencia a todos aquellos relatos en segundo grado que están generados por la tecnología digital. De este modo, siempre que los personajes de un texto desarrollen parte de la historia en un entorno de realidad virtual o en el ciberespacio, convivirán con diversos planos de realidad textual (real y digital), siendo la metadiégesis digital el nivel narrativo producido por la máquina. Aplicaremos el concepto de metástasis de los simulacros a La novela perfecta de Carmen Boullosa.
Cuando habla el subconsciente. Grietas de terror gótico en los cuentos de Cristina Fernández Cubas
Authors: López Santos Miriam
Published: April 2021

El presente artículo trata de descubrir las reminiscencias del gótico posmoderno que perviven en los cuentos de la escritora catalana Cristina Fernández Cubas. A través del análisis de alguno de los mismos, queda demostrado cómo los personajes, tras haber sufrido determinadas experiencias traumáticas, experimentan en la conformación de su personalidad un conflicto entre aceptar su parte abyecta, y perder su “yo” social, o fundirse con la sociedad, anulando así la parte más oscura de sí mismos. En este trance el género gótico actuará con toda su imaginería a modo de mecanismo para salvar el obstáculo antitético que se produce en la mente de los personajes.
Apuntes sobre el realismo en las narraciones visuales actuales. El ejemplo de la adaptación cinematográfica del cómic "María y yo" de Miguel Gallardo por Félix de Castro
Authors: Touton Isabelle
Published: April 2021

Se analiza primero la manera como se plantea la cuestión del "realismo" (sus dimensiones estéticas, sociológicas, pragmáticas, editoriales…) según los lenguajes narrativos y soportes artísticos involucrados (novela, cine, cómic). Luego, se parte de dos novelas gráficas de 2007 (Arrugas, de Paco Roca, y María y yo, de Miguel Gallardo) y sus adaptaciones cinematográficas (Arrugas, película de animación de Ignacio Ferrero, y María y yo, documental de Félix Fernández de Castro), para intentar mostrar en qué medida esta última obra, al mezclar acercamientos "realistas" o "idealistas", logra aprehender un objeto digno de interés desde varias miradas respetadas en su singularidad, llevar a cabo una reflexión acerca del estatuto de lo real (en el que incluye la imaginación utópica), y consigue influir en la realidad.

Increasing WSN Lifetime using Clustering and Fault Tolerance Methods
Authors: Sabah Sama , Croock Muayad
Published: April 2021

Energy consumption problems in wireless sensor networks are an essential aspect of our days where advances have been made in the sizes of sensors and batteries, which are almost very small to be placed in the patient's body for remote monitoring. These sensors have inadequate resources, such as battery power that is difficult to replace or recharge. Therefore, researchers should be concerned with the area of saving and controlling the quantities of energy consumption by these sensors efficiently to keep it as long as possible and increase its lifetime. In this paper energy-efficient and fault-tolerance strategy is proposed by adopting the fault tolerance technique by using the self-checking process and sleep scheduling mechanism for avoiding the faults that may cause an increase in power consumption as well as energy-efficient at the whole network. this is done by improving the LEACH protocol by adding these proposed strategies to it. Simulation results show that the recommended method has higher efficiency than the LEACH protocol in power consumption also can prolong the network lifetime. In addition, it can detect and recover potential errors that consume high energy.

Published: April 2021

In the search for life in the cosmos, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has already monitored about 74% of the sky for transiting extrasolar planets, including potentially habitable worlds. However, TESS only observed a fraction of the stars long enough to be able to find planets like Earth. We use the primary mission data—the first two years of observations—and identify 4239 stars within 210 pc that TESS observed long enough to see three transits of an exoplanet that receives similar irradiation to Earth: 738 of these stars are located within 30 pc. We provide reliable stellar parameters from the TESS Input Catalog that incorporates Gaia DR2 and also calculate the transit depth and radial velocity semiamplitude for an Earth-analog planet. Of the 4239 stars in the Revised TESS HZ Catalog, 9 are known exoplanet hosts—GJ1061, GJ1132, GJ3512, GJ685, Kepler-42, LHS1815, L98-59, RRCae, and TOI700—around which TESS could identify additional Earth-like planetary companions. Thirty-seven additional stars host yet unconfirmed TESS Objects of Interest: three of these orbit in the habitable zone—TOI203, TOI715, and TOI2298. For a subset of 614 of the 4239 stars, TESS has observed the star long enough to be able to observe planets throughout the full temperate, habitable zone out to the equivalent of Mars’ orbit. Thus, the Revised TESS Habitable Zone Catalog provides a tool for observers to prioritize stars for follow-up observation to discover life in the cosmos. These stars are the best path toward the discovery of habitable planets using the TESS mission data.

We present high-resolution 12CO and 13CO 2–1 ALMA observations, as well as optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, of the highly inclined protoplanetary disk around SSTC2D J163131.2–242627. The spectral type we derive for the source is consistent with a 1.2 M
⊙ star inferred from the ALMA observations. Despite its massive circumstellar disk, we find little to no evidence for ongoing accretion on the star. The CO maps reveal a disk that is unusually compact along the vertical direction, consistent with its appearance in scattered light images. The gas disk extends about twice as far away as both the submillimeter continuum and the optical scattered light. CO is detected from two surface layers separated by a midplane region in which CO emission is suppressed, as expected from freeze-out in the cold midplane. We apply a modified version of the tomographically reconstructed distribution method presented by Dutrey et al. to derive the temperature structure of the disk. We find a temperature in the CO-emitting layers and the midplane of ∼33 K and ∼20 K at R < 200 au, respectively. Outside of R > 200 au, the disk’s midplane temperature increases to ∼30 K, with a nearly vertically isothermal profile. The transition in CO temperature coincides with a dramatic reduction in the submicron and submillimeter emission from the disk. We interpret this as interstellar UV radiation providing an additional source of heating to the outer part of the disk.

Ecosystem accounting is a tool to integrate nature into decision-making in a more structured way. Applying the use of nationally available datasets at catchment scale and following the System of Environmental Economic Accounting-Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) framework, we present results from a catchment case study in Ireland, highlighting findings specifically in relation to the development of ecosystem extent and condition accounts. In the absence of a national ecosystem map, CORINE landcover mapping formed the basic data for extent and type of ecosystems, distinguishing woodlands and forest, peatland and heathland, grasslands and cropland and urban areas, with limited coverage of linear freshwater rivers, hedgerows and coastal ecosystems. Additional remote sensing data provided higher resolution at catchment scale, while limited site-level survey data were available. Condition data gathered for reporting under the EU Water Framework Directive were available at sub-basin level for surface waterbodies. Data were available at national level for habitats reported for the EU under the Habitats Directive (59 habitats reported), covering ~ 25% of the study area. Data for ecosystem types outside of these reporting frameworks were in the form of ancillary data only, providing information on pressures, threats and intensity of use. Our findings in Ireland reflect work across the European region, highlighting the role of data gathering and stakeholder engagement. We outline some of the data gaps to provide information for future research and alignment of data for the purpose of NCA, both at catchment and national scale.

Apostolepisis a diverse genus of dipsadid snakes, currently comprising 34 species occurring in most cis-Andean South America. The taxonomy of the group is highly unstable. Upon discovering its type series, we redescribe the rare speciesA. ambiniger(Peters, 1869) and provide an account of its geographic distribution and morphological variation in pholidosis, osteology, and hemipenial characters. We also discuss some aspects of the taxonomy ofApostolepis.
Cyber- ou Cerbère-thérapie ? À propos de la visio- ou téléconsultation au temps de la covid-19
Authors: Bormans Christophe
Published: April 2021

La pandémie de covid-19 et la période de confinement ont bouleversé la pratique psychanalytique standard et le cadre analytique traditionnel mis en place par Freud. Analystes et analysants étant, les uns dans l’impossibilité de recevoir, les autres dans celle de se déplacer, la psychanalyse laïque a dû s’adapter. Afin de garder le lien analytique, bon nombre de psychanalystes ont dû pratiquer autrement : fini l’usage du divan, place à l’internet, aux messageries instantanées, aux appels téléphoniques ou vidéo, bref, à ce que l’on pourrait appeler la télé- ou visioanalyse. Au-delà de ces cyber-préfixes, peut-on toujours parler de « psychanalyse » ? Tenter de répondre à cette interrogation, c’est d’abord s’apercevoir que Freud avait déjà, de son temps, anticipé bon nombre des évolutions de la pratique qu’il a fondée, en détaillant même assez précisément les avantages et inconvénients de celles-ci. Plus globalement, s’il n’est pas possible de nier ses ressorts thérapeutiques, une telle évolution semble plutôt opérer un retour en arrière sur le chemin même de l’invention de la psychanalyse, précisément en ce qu’elle semble participer d’un retour à l’hypnose et à la suggestion, dont Freud ne manque pas de se départir au moment même de l’acte fondateur de la psychanalyse. Aussi, le discours qui soutient ce type de thérapie semble céder sur les trois conceptions spécifiques – et intimement nouées – que Freud a forgées pour sa pratique, que sont l’inconscient, le transfert et les résistances.

Community-Based Advance Care Planning Interventions for Minority Older Adults: A Systematic Review
Authors: Estrada Leah V. , Cohen Catherine C. , Shang Jingjing , Stone Patricia W.
Published: April 2021

Racial/ethnic minority older adults in the United States often experience access, language, and cultural barriers to advance care planning. For the current study, a systematic review was conducted to summarize and appraise the current science on community-based interventions aimed at increasing advance care planning in racial/ethnic minority older adults. Five articles met the inclusion criteria, which represented four unique interventions in Asian American (
n
= 2) and Hispanic (
n
= 2) communities. Two interventions were nurse-led workshops and two were one-onone social worker–led sessions. Outcomes measured were intention to or completion of advance directive or advance care planning discussion; and improvement in advance directive knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and comfort related to advance care planning. Interventions increased intention to or completion of advance directives and improved advance care planning knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes. Results were inconclusive regarding promoting advance care planning discussions. Further research is needed to address the diverse needs of racial/ethnic minority older adults and barriers to advance care planning. [

Estado de la web local portuguesa: evidencias empíricas acerca de la brecha digital entre regiones
Authors: Piñeiro-Naval Valeriano , Serra Paulo
Published: April 2021

En aras de corresponder a las demandas de sus ciudadanos, los municipios han impulsado el gobierno electrónico mediante el uso de las TIC. Sin embargo, esta adopción tecnológica no siempre se efectúa de forma homogénea entre unos territorios y otros, originando las conocidas como «brechas digitales». Así pues, los objetivos del estudio consistieron en medir, a través del análisis de contenido de los 308 sitios web municipales de Portugal, la calidad de estos servicios electrónicos, para luego detectar diferencias interregionales y apuntar algunos factores predictivos del estado de la red local portuguesa. Desde el punto de vista instrumental, se diseñó un «Indicador General de Calidad Web» que sirvió para concretar el grado de desempeño nacional, cercano a un nivel correcto, así como para concluir que el litoral continental del país, la zona más poblada, rica y desarrollada, es también el área donde el gobierno electrónico está mejor implementado.
