Authors: Fernández Medina Carlos Rafael , Pérez Hernández Boris , Ferreiro Concepción Jasiel Felix
Published: June 2023

El artículo propone en su objetivo diseñar una estrategia con el uso de entornos virtuales de enseñanza aprendizaje, rúbricas electrónicas y portafolios electrónicos, para fortalecer la práctica laboral desde la relación universidad – empresa. Se parte de la necesidad de fortalecer el ejercicio de práctica laboral con una mirada en torno a la relación entre la universidad y la empresa, en el contexto actual de transformaciones de la sociedad, signada por los procesos de investigación, desarrollo e innovación (I+D+i) y donde las tecnologías desempeñan un papel protagónico en los procesos de formación. Fortalecer el ejercicio de la práctica laboral enfocado en esta relación U-E, supone crecimiento y beneficios mutuos donde, la universidad encuentra espacios en los cuales insertar a los estudiantes para interactuar en escenarios reales y desarrollar en competencias los conocimientos y habilidades teóricos adquiridos, mientras a la empresa le permite prepararle en sus funciones específicas propias de la profesión futura y del puesto que desempeñará. Desde el uso del EVEA, e-portafolios y e-rúbricas se logra estrechar la brecha que suponen las distancias en el territorio, problemática que se presenta en esta relación U-E, creando un espacio virtual donde confluirán ambas para el diseño, orientación, seguimiento y evaluación del ejercicio de práctica laboral.

Miejsce metforminy w leczeniu cukrzycy w świetle aktualnych zaleceń ADA/EASD z 2022 r.
Authors: Cyganek Katarzyna
Published: June 2023

Cukrzyca to choroba epidemiologiczna o progresywnym charakterze. Należy pamiętać o indywidualizacji jej leczenia, indywidualnej ocenie danych dotyczących czynników ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego, uszkodzenia narządów, wysokości glikemii oraz stanu pacjenta. W najnowszych zaleceniach fundamentem i priorytetem terapii cukrzycy jest redukcja powikłań sercowo-naczyniowych i redukcja śmiertelności. Leczenie należy wdrożyć jak najwcześniej. Już w stanie przedcukrzycowym można włączyć metforminę. W terapii cukrzycy typu 2 pozycja metforminy jest wysoka, gdyż jest to lek silnie obniżający glikemię, znany, stosowany przez lata, z uznanym profilem bezpieczeństwa i dobrą tolerancją. Można ją bezpiecznie stosować w skojarzeniu z innymi lekami hipoglikemizującymi. W warunkach konieczności poprawy kontroli glikemii stanowi silny lek hipoglikemizujący.

Authors: Krzowski Bartosz , Balsam Paweł
Published: June 2023

β-adrenolityki stanowią trzon armamentarium lekarzy opiekujących się pacjentami z szeroko pojętymi chorobami sercowo-naczyniowymi [1]. Skuteczność przedstawicieli tej grupy leków w różnych wskazaniach oraz korzystny profil bezpieczeństwa przełożyły się na popularność tych leków. Dysponujemy obecnie danymi potwierdzającymi wpływ na redukcję śmiertelności określonych grup chorych po zastosowaniu danych molekuł z tej grupy. Na przestrzeni ostatnich dekad β-adrenolityki były bardzo często stosowanymi lekami. Przeprowadzono szereg badań, których celem było wyznaczenie optymalnego leku dla określonej grupy pacjentów. Warto mieć jednak na uwadze, że istnieją znaczące różnice pomiędzy poszczególnymi przedstawicielami tej grupy leków, a zalecaną terapię należy każdorazowo indywidualizować. Obecnie dysponujemy lekami silnie kardioselektywnymi, dzięki czemu istnieje możliwość ograniczenia wpływu tych leków poza układ sercowo-naczyniowy. Głównymi przedstawicielami β-adrenolityków najczęściej przepisywanymi pacjentom są: bisoprolol, metoprolol, nebiwolol oraz karwedilol.
Novel approaches for allergen-specific immunotherapy—An overview
Authors: Sakshi Sakshi , Mazumder Rupa , Monika Monika , Singh Neha , Kumar Bimlesh
Published: June 2023

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is an allergen-specific treatment for people with IgE-related allergies. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is used to treat allergic disorders when symptoms persist despite medication and allergen avoidance. The therapy is presumed effective if it reduces the use of medications, improves the quality of life even after discontinuation of treatment, as well as prevents the conversion of one type of allergy to the other and the development of new sensitization. The allergen-specific immunotherapeutic agents can be administered sublingually, subcutaneously, or through some other routes, such as intra-lymphatically and epicutaneously to induce allergen tolerance by modifying immune responses (innate and adaptive). The primary mechanism of AIT is the induction of functional regulatory cells, such as regulatory T cells, follicular T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, innate lymphoid cells, and natural killer cells, which results in the control of the functions of type 2 inflammatory cells. However, there are several downsides to AIT, including the contentious treatment period resulting in high cost, systemic allergic reactions, and the lack of a biomarker for forecasting treatment responders. Vaccine adjuvants, adjunctive therapies, and novel vaccine technologies are currently being researched to address the issues associated with AIT. This article focuses on defined molecular approaches for improving the potential of specific immunotherapy that use recombinant allergen derivatives, allergen-derived peptides, virus-coupled allergens, nanoparticles, and specific adjuvants.

Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, DY Patil Medical College and Hospital, Kasaba Bawada, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India, Patil Archana R
Published: June 2023

Background:D-dimer and LDH are crucial biomarkers, particularly in view of the fact that they have been strongly linked to COVID-19 infection and have been linked to worse consequences in people who have severe viral infections. Objectives: To determine how D-dimer and LDH correlated with clinical effects in COVID-19 patients who were hospitalised and how they forecasted the severity of COVID-19 patients. Material and Methods: This was cross-sectional research conducted relatively early in the second wave of the pandemic. A total of 110 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the ICU from January 2021 to June 2021, were included in the study. The clinical outcome was evaluated in terms of discharge and death among patients requiring various forms of assisted ventilation. Results:The average age of patients was 53.16 years (± 18.47 years). 35.5% of the patients were with comorbidities of which diabetes, hypertension, and COPD were around 80%. D-dimer was deranged in 2.7% of the subjects and LDH was deranged in 60% of the study subjects at the time of admission. Coming on to the outcome, all patients were put on assisted ventilation with 71.8% on NIV, 20% on HFNO, 1% on CPAP, and 7.2% on MV. During their hospital stays, 6 (5.45%) patients died and the remaining patients were discharged. A higher D-dimer value (> 1.5 μg/ml) during the hospital stay was found to be statistically significant with assisted ventilation and deaths of the admitted study subjects. Conclusion: In our investigation, the biomarker D-dimer value was more associated than LDH with mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Authors:   Department of Paediatrics, Bishop Conrad Memorial Hospital, Khairabad, Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, India, Kumar Sachin
Published: June 2023

Introduction:Malaria is a cause of high mortality and morbidity. In 2022 during August-September, there was a sudden increment in malaria cases among children in our hospital. We evaluated the role of platelet count to diagnose malarial infection in children. Methodology: This study included paediatric patients seen in August-September of 2022 in BCM Hospital, Khairabad, Sitapur for fever who had thrombocytopenia in their first complete blood count report. This research comprised 230 children with fever and thrombocytopenia. Results:It was found that a moderate to severe platelet count decline was 86.21 per cent sensitive and 56.14 per cent specific for malaria with high negative and positive predictive values. Conclusion: In conclusion, moderate to severe thrombocytopenia is a key indicator of malaria, hence all children with fever and thrombocytopenia should be tested for malaria. If moderate to severe thrombocytopenia is seen, further specialised tests such as repeated peripheral blood smears, ELISA for parasite-specific antigens, etc. should be done.

Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic situation demands the discovery of newer drugs and/ or repurposing of the existing drugs. The anti-viral drugs approved for COVID-19 are remdesivir and favipiravir. Two more directly acting oral anti-viral drugs have been granted Emergency Use Authorization by US-FDA, molnupiravir on December 23, 2021, and nirmatrelvir and ritonavir (PaxlovidTM) on December 22, 2021. Molnupiravir, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor, has also been approved in the UK and is under review with other regulatory agencies. PaxlovidTM (a combination of the new anti-viral drugs nirmatrelvir and ritonavir) has been developed and approved by US-FDA and CDSCO, India. Nirmatrelvir acts by inhibiting 3CL (chymotrypsin-like) protease enzyme and it is combined with ritonavir to slow down its breakdown by cytochrome P450 enzymes and to increase the bioavailability. Both molnupiravir and PaxlovidTM have been approved for mild and moderate COVID-19 and in patients who have a higher risk of disease progression to severe disease including hospitalisation and death. This article systematically reviews the clinical trials of molnupiravir and PaxlovidTM that evaluated their efficacy and safety against COVID-19 in both published and unpublished literature.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Trapezitis is the most common musculoskeletal disorder caused by the inflammation of the trapezius muscle which leads to muscle spasms and pain in the neck. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among smartphone users ranges from 1% to 67.8%. The prevalence of neck pain in young adults among smartphone users in the past 12 months was 47.4%. Smartphone usage for prolonged periods of time causes repetitive strain of muscles. Physiotherapists utilise a wide range of interventions in the management of trapezitis including myofascial release technique and muscle energy technique. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of myofascial release technique and muscle energy technique on pain and physical function among smartphone users with trapezitis. Methodology: 60 subjects were selected for the study and were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Each group had 30 subjects within the age group of 18-25 years. Group A was given myofascial release technique along with cryotherapy and Group B was given muscle energy technique with cryotherapy. The parameters of the study included: Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scale pre-test and post-test comparison done between the groups. Results: Approximate descriptive statistics and interferential statistics along with the graphical methods were used. Both pre-test and post-test measures were analysed statistically using t-test to test the effectiveness of each technique. P value between the group NPRS and NDI (p < 0.0001) shows significance in the subjects. Conclusion: It was concluded that muscle energy technique was better than myofascial release technique among smartphone users with trapezitis.

Ḥijāmah (Cupping Therapy): Special Reference to Neuromuscular Disorders
Authors:   Department of Moalajat, School of Unani Medical Education and Research, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India, Akhtar Md Wasi
Published: June 2023

The use of Ḥijāmah dates back to 3500 BC in Egypt, with records in Ebers Papyrus. But in the last two decades, Ḥijāmah is gaining its due acceptance in the management of different neuromuscular and pain disorders. For sciatica, Ḥijāmah is advised over the sciatic nerve. Ḥijāmah with 2 cups (over the gluteal area and thigh/ over calf muscle and below the ankle), with 5 cups and even with 9 cups may be done in patients of sciatica. These different settings/ protocols of Ḥijāmah in patients with sciatica show a significant reduction in pain and disability. Ḥijāmah for lower back pain is indicated on acupuncture points BL23, BL24, and BL25 by application of 2 cups on each site, either simultaneously or in a phased manner (in 3 sittings on weekly basis; cupping at one site at once, followed by next point in the next week). According to the Persian traditional method, Ḥijāmah between the scapula (on day 0), then at the sacrum (on day 3) and over the calf muscle (on day 6) gives good results in lower back pain. Ḥijāmah (wet cupping) over the painful area of the neck with multiple cups (2-6) in a single sitting is the preferred method for non-specific neck pain. Even Ḥijāmah without scarification (Ḥijāmahbila Sharṭ) has a short-term effect in all such conditions, but Ḥijāmah (wet cupping) gives spontaneous as well as long-term benefits in almost all neuromuscular and other pain disorders. Therefore, Ḥijāmah comes as a better alternative with minimally invasive procedures for most neuromuscular disorders.
A Case Report on Anencephaly
Authors:   Rufaida College Nursing, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, Mikki Mikki
Published: June 2023

A newborn with anencephaly does not have parts of the brain or skull. It is a significant birth condition. A particular sort of Neural Tube Defect (NTD) is present. The neural tube helps form the baby’s brain and skull (upper segment of the neural tube), spinal cord, and back bones (lower half of the neural tube), as it grows and closes.When the top portion of the neural tube does not completely seal, anencephaly occurs. As a consequence, many babies are born without the cerebrum, which is the part of the brain responsible for thought and coordination, or the front portion of the brain (forebrain). Brain tissue that is not covered by bone or skin is commonly exposed. We are presenting one such case with 23 weeks of gestation and an anencephaly baby with cardiac activity.
Madura Tourism Branding Through Literature
Authors: Harits Imron Wakhid , Diana Putri Nur , Fatimah Fatimah , Chudy Stefan , Surya Ulvia Ika
Published: June 2023

Literary Tourism is closely related to the contribution of literature to the development of tourism. The efforts to brand a place by maintaining the existence of culture and nature have been quite a challenge due to cultural and natural changes of globalization which is increasingly eroding the traditional culture of a place. However, Madura with its traditions, cultures, and beautiful nature make Madura different and unique from other regions. This study displays branding on Madura tourism thus the readers get to know Madura in literary works and become travel and tourism references to visit. This research focuses on how tourism branding exists in Madura poetry by D. Zawawi Imron. Therefore, this study uses a qualitative descriptive method to determine the setting of place and culture in the poetry by D. Zawawi Imron as a Madurese writer and its potential for developing Madura tourism. The results of this study figure out that the inspiration for D. Zawawi Imron's poetry was Madura as his birthplace. In his poems also found the potential for cultural and natural tourism such as Kerapan Sapi and Saronen, as well as village circumstances, Kalianget, Sumenep, and some vocabulary that reflects Madurese characteristics such as Nira and siwalan. Hopefully, Literary Tourism will make a new contribution to multidisciplinary dynamics in applied literary studies.
Las revistas como fragmentos de los procesos del arte moderno en América Latina: perspectivas contemporáneas
Authors: García Maria Amalia , Dolinko Silvia
Published: June 2023

Discourses and processes about artistic modernity intertwine and, at the same time, are delineated within cultural magazines. Novelty appeared in their pages as a foundation and driving force, to varying degrees and with different goals of updating or renewal. Cultural magazines have not only been key sources for many historiographical reinterpretations regarding modern art topics but also objects of study in and of themselves. Names,ideas, and images that emerged from these publicationsformed ideological networks throughout the continentwhile also defining specific circuits of cultural issues andediting. Thus, magazines allowed for the formulation ofparticular sections within a visual and cultural plurality,revealing specific and situated selections. Based on this approach, it is argued here that magazines can be considered as fragments of the processes of modern art in Latin America. Under the conceptualization of a fragment, the magazine unfolds both as a device that enables specific narratives about modern art and as a material artifact or montage constructed from diverse pieces.
Imágenes de género en las revistas de la AIAPE: El antifascismo rioplatense a través de figuras femeninas
Authors: Flatto Diana
Published: June 2023

Antifascist visual culture in the 1930s and 1940s was rife with images of women and children. In Argentina and Uruguay between 1935 and 1943, artists Raquel Forner, María Rosa de Ferrari, and Antonio Berni reproduced works in three periodicals published by the Agrupación de Intelectuales, Artistas, Periodistas e Escritores (Association of Intellectuals, Artists, Journalists, and Writers, AIAPE). A study of this imagery through a queer feminist lens reveals the extent to which these artists' visual production both supported and diverged from the magazines’ political ideologies.
La puesta en escena de lo que llamamos latinoamericano. Una década de reflexión en la revista Arte en Colombia (1978-1990)
Authors: Muñoz Porqué Bárbara
Published: June 2023

In this article I examine how the relationship between cultural modernity and the artistic avant-garde was configured during the transition from the end of the 19th century to the second half of the 20th century in Latin America. An examination of a set of essays that address the idea of Latin American identity reveals how artists and theorists have tried, in different historical periods, to identify the nuances of critical thinking and art production in the region. In a second section, with the aim of delving deeper into the definition of what is Latin American, I carry out a rereading of a series of articles published between 1978 and 1990 in Arte en Colombia magazine that address both the composition of institutional collections and the design of exhibitions, mainly in the United States and Europe. With this methodology I delineate how certain museum narratives deploy experiences of identity that perpetuate —occasionally questionable— understandings of Latin American art. Through their criticism, the writers selected for this analysis react to outdated policies of representation, allowing us to re-elaborate possible ways of retelling artistic reality from the standpoint of Latin America.

‘Empresarios/ trabajadores y trabajadoras’. El lenguaje inclusivo en el debate político: estrategias lingüísticas e ideológicas

Authors: Vellón Lahoz Francisco Javier , Saura Manzanares Alba
Published: June 2023

El artículo estudia el uso del lenguaje inclusivo en el discurso político a través del análisis de dos debates celebrados en el Congreso de los diputados español el 22 de abril y el 20 de mayo de 2020. Tras la observación de los principios programáticos de los diferentes partidos en este tema, el primer objetivo del trabajo es comprobar cuál es el grado de seguimiento de estas directrices en los textos orales de cada portavoz. En esta línea, se analiza cada intervención para determinar qué criterios, además de los ideológicos, repercuten en la presencia de las formas del lenguaje no sexista: el tipo de texto (monologal/dialogal) y factores asociados a la persona participante en el debate (cargo institucional, sexo e ideario estatal/nacionalista). Finalmente, la investigación determina cuáles son los mecanismos preferidos para visibilizar el compromiso con este modelo de lenguaje entre quienes son partidarios de su presencia en la actividad lingüística.
Rigid-Body Noncertainty Equivalence Adaptive Control on the Tangent Bundle of SE(3)
Authors: Seo Dongeun , Nazari Morad , Arabi Ehsan
Published: June 2023

This paper addresses an adaptive rigid-body pose-tracking control problem with unknown system parameters. The proposed control is based on a noncertainty equivalence (NCE) adaptive principle applied to the configuration manifold of rigid-body motion, i.e., special Euclidean group SE(3), and its tangent bundle TSE(3). The controller drives the system to follow an arbitrary reference trajectory with bounded time derivatives. The system states are composed of the elements of SE(3), consisting of rotations and translations, and the six-dimensional vector of angular and translational velocities in Euclidean space. Almost-global-asymptotic stability of the system is demonstrated using a Morse–Lyapunov stability analysis. Then, the performance of the proposed controller is verified and is compared to the results obtained by a certainty-equivalence (CE) adaptive control applied to exponential coordinates associated with the linear space of the Lie algebra [Formula: see text]. It is shown that the TSE(3)-based NCE adaptive control design can eliminate the performance degradation due to the cancellation of uncertain parameter effects that would otherwise appear when the CE adaptive controller is used. As a result, the proposed NCE-based adaptive pose-tracking controller recovers the closed-loop pose-tracking controller performance with the system parameters fully known to the controller.
Interacting Multiple Model Filtering for Aircraft Guidance Modes Identification from Surveillance Data
Authors: Khaledian Homeyra , Sáez Raúl , Vilà-Valls Jordi , Prats Xavier
Published: June 2023

Accurate and reliable trajectory prediction (TP) is required in several air traffic management systems. Estimating the aircraft trajectory in a vertical plane typically requires the knowledge of a pair of operational instructions. A sequence of operational instructions specifies the aircraft intent, information that is seldom available, besides for the ownship trajectory planning system. In the execution of the trajectory, the aircraft is directed by the (auto)pilot through a series of sequential guidance modes that might override some of the planning instructions of the aircraft intent. Therefore, having reliable guidance mode information is fundamental for the next generation of air- or ground-based TP. The main goal of this contribution is to develop a methodology able to identify in real-time the active guidance modes for both vertical climb and descent profiles, using only Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast and Enhanced Mode-S Surveillance data. The proposed solution is based on an interacting multiple model (IMM) filtering approach, which uses a bank of filters, each one matched to a possible guidance mode.

This paper describes the work carried out to extend the NOEL-V platform to include data-level parallelism (DLP) by implementing an integer subset of the RISC-V Vector Extension. The performance and resource utilization efficiency of the resulting vector processor for different levels of DLP (i.e., number of lanes) have been compared to the baseline scalar processor on a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale field-programmable gate array, employing typical kernels for compute-intensive applications. The role of the memory subsystem has also been investigated, comparing the results obtained with a low-latency and a high-latency main memory. The results show that the speed-up due to the use of the vector pipeline increases with the number of lanes in the vector processor, achieving up to 23.0× the performance of the scalar processor with only 4.3× the resources of the baseline scalar processor. Using an implementation with 32 lanes increases performance even for problem sizes larger than the number of lanes, achieving up to more than 11.7× the performance of the scalar processor with just 1.9× its resource utilization for [Formula: see text] matrix multiplications. This work proves that implementations of the selected subset are easily scalable and fit for small-processor implementations in highly constrained space embedded systems.
Crash Landing: The Airline Industry’s Failing Efforts to Remedy Its Sexist and Discriminatory Practices Towards Flight Attendants
Authors: Gonzalez Elise
Published: June 2023

Since the deregulation of the airline industry, flight attendants have become the friendly faces and hallmark of airline brands across the globe. However, airlines went to unconstitutional heights to ensure that flight attendants looked, behaved, and acted in compliance with conservative and outdated notions about gender and sexuality. Piece by piece, the airline industry’s strict and misogynist policies that regulated female flight attendants’ appearance were declared a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; however, the sexist policies and attitudes maintain a pervasive and insidious presence in the modern airline industry.

Moreover, the airline industry’s dress and appearance policies aim to reinforce traditional and binary gender distinctions. Although Title VII has provided legal protection against workplace discrimination based on sex, courts and legislatures were divided on Title VII’s application to individuals who diverged from traditional and binary gender distinctions. However, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County ended this split by interpreting Title VII to protect employees against discrimination based on sexuality and gender identity. When paired with society’s increasing acceptance of gender fluidity and individual autonomy, Bostock has the potential to render gendered dress codes obsolete and unconstitutional.

The airline industry’s sexist history paired with its strict, traditional, and gendered dress and appearance policies makes it a prime defendant in a Title VII suit to test the applicability of Bostock to gendered employment policies.
Opening Pandora’s Box: Comparing Airline Passenger Protection in Korea and Europe in Light of Global Treaties
Authors: Mendes de Leon Pablo , Choi Jin
Published: June 2023

Passenger protection will continue to ask for attention. The involved bodies and persons include policymakers and legislators, media, courts, compliance departments of airlines, law firms, consumer protection organizations, and airports. All parties must announce the conditions for such protection on their premises. In 2020, around 50% of all cases in the Netherlands, around 4,000 to 5,000 claims submitted to the lower courts, concerned passenger protection in aviation. In the Republic of Korea (Korea), these numbers are more limited but still significant; that is, around 2,500 claims form the aggregate number presented to Korean courts and Korea’s Consumer Protection Agency.

The complexity of these cases is caused by the differentiated conditions under which protection measures are expected by and provided to passengers in conjunction with the various legal layers under which remedies must be afforded to them. Such layers concern global treaties; regional and domestic regulations; and conditions of carriage drawn up by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and implemented by member airlines. Last but not least, all of these legal tools have been explained by courts in all parts of the world with differing interpretations of these rules.

For these reasons, this Article is entitled “Opening Pandora’s Box.” Lifting the ceiling of this box—which contains conditions, rules, remedies, and court decisions—reveals sources of great and unexpected troubles. We have made an attempt to open that box in this Article.

The continued magnitude of claims presented to Korean courts and the Consumer Protection Agency calls for a fresh light to be cast on this subject. This Article will examine the legal situation surrounding these issues by exploring the law in the following aspects. Part I of this Article will discuss the global umbrella regulations governing passenger protection. Parts II and III explore zealous Korean initiatives in passenger protection and the long and winding road in the European Union (EU). Part IV presents concluding remarks.

We conclude that the passenger protection regimes in Korea and the EU are among the most developed in the world. The Korean model is more detailed and specific than its European counterpart; however, passenger rights are more vigorously enforced by courts and other bodies in the EU States. Moreover, we analyze the compatibility between decisions made by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) and global regulations pertaining to airline liability.

SYNOPSIS: How people talk about osteoarthritis may impact outcomes, including uptake of guideline recommendations related to activity-based lifestyles and interventions. In this editorial, we describe 2 key ways of talking, based on findings from our systematic review of 62 qualitative studies exploring the perceptions of people with knee osteoarthritis (n = 1208), their carers (n = 28), and clinicians (n = 2403). Among raw quotes extracted from the studies, we observed a dominant impairment-based way of talking and a participatory based way of talking. These ways of talking form a novel framework to help clinicians understand what people think and do about osteoarthritis. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(6):325–330. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.11880

Published: June 2023

Manned space flight missions always harbor within themselves the possibility of an off-nominal re-entry and landing. The crew has to be prepared to deal with such an eventuality. Hence, survival training post-landing forms an integral part of the pre-flight preparation of an astronaut. The survival training is aimed at enhancing the ability of the crew to take rational decisions and actions during extreme situations after an emergency escape from a spacecraft, till the arrival of the search and rescue team. The training enables the crew to acquire the skills required in the event of an off-nominal landing (or splashdown). This paper deals with the snow survival training for astronaut candidates conducted by a foreign Astronaut Training Centre. The Snow Survival Training program consists of theoretical lectures, practical demonstrations in the field, and 48 h of snow survival in real environmental conditions. With the advent of the Human Spaceflight Programme, the lessons learnt in the snow survival training would be helpful in conducting extreme weather training for Indian Astronauts as well as serve as a welcome addition to the existing training pattern of Jungle and Snow Survival courses for aircrew in India.
