Published: November 2022

Background: Every year in India about 7 million people suffer from burn injury, which is a leading cause of not only mortality, but morbidity and disability among the burn patients, leading to emotional trauma and stigma. Objectives: The present study was conducted in a peripheral medical college of West Bengal to describe the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and outcome in burn patients and also to identify contributing factors influencing the outcome in burn patients. Methodology: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, all consecutive burn patients admitted in Dept of surgery in 2018 were included. Data was collected regarding socio demographic profile, mechanism, type and degree of burn, total body surface area involved, time taken to reach health facility and outcome. Results: Out of 514 burn patients, majority were 20 to 60 years age group, females, Muslim in religion, from rural background, completed primary education, homemaker and having monthly income of the family below Rs 5000. Most of the burns were accidental, thermal in nature occurred at household level. About one third had burns involving dangerous areas of body. Average length of stay in hospital was 6.104 days with 20% case fatality and directly proportional with body surface area involved. Conclusion: Safety measures and building awareness can prevent burn injury at household level. Early initiation of treatment, infection control and following standard management protocol can avert mortality in tertiary setting. Rehabilitation and psychosocial care are urgently needed to combat disability. Keywords: Burn, Clinico-epidemiology, Length of stay, Outcome

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an identified rural community with a sample size of 279 using systematic random sampling data was collected using personal interview using pretested questionnaire and descriptive and inferential statistics was applied. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 42.8±7.5 years and the majority (68.8%) were male and 31.2% were female. 72.4% didn't have any pet dog and all (100.0%) have experienced a dog bite for themselves or anyone in the family in their lifetime. The majority (93.4%) have described rabies illness and 100% correctly know that the main animal of rabies in India is a dog and the correct mode of disease transmission. However, only 7.9% know the most common age group affected. The majority (59.1%) have heard about the anti-rabies vaccine. Awareness of anti-rabies vaccine varies in different groups based on their educational qualification and Pearson's chi-square value was statistically significant. Vaccination of pet dogs as a periodic activity to prevent rabies has been strongly disagreed by 22.2% of participants. 23.3% strongly agreed that stray dogs are a social nuisance. The majority 24.7% have disagreed with the implementation of the Animal Birth Control program. The relationship between the level of education and attitude towards native/traditional healers in preventing rabies after a dog bite was significant (p<0.05). It was also found that the following dog bite only 28.0% would like to wash the wound with soap and water following a dog bite. Conclusion: There exists a considerable gap in knowledge attitudes and practices about Dog bites and their management. Increasing the awareness, and changing the attitude and beliefs among the study population is the need of the hour, Accordingly Regular IEC activities to be planned at various centers Keywords: Knowledge, attitude, practices, Dog bite, Management
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA FILOSOFIA NA IMANÊNCIA PARA A EDUCAÇÃO E PARA OS ESTUDOS DECOLONIAIS*
Authors: Vilar de Carvalho André Martins
Published: November 2022

Confrontando as ideações metafísicas, que pressupõem um ideal, moralmente justificado de bondade, beleza e justiça, a que todos deveriam perseguir, este artigo propõe a compreensão do ser humano e de suas práticas, incluindo a educação, a partir da filosofia da imanência, ou seja, da admissão do mundo sensível como o único existente e de nossos afetos como guias confiáveis e incontornáveis na nossa relação conosco mesmos, com o outro e com o mundo.  Nesse sentido, ao invés de tentar modelar as crianças segundo um ideal de racionalidade, imposto de forma colonial, a educação pode convidá-las a uma compreensão do mundo a partir dos seus próprios afetos, ajudando-as a expressarem criativamente o seu self e a caminharem no sentido de construírem modos de existência baseados na ética, entendida como a potência de pensar no outro a partir da compreensão de si mesmo.

The learning process in educational institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic has several problems faced. The Ministry of Education and Culture took a firm stance through several circulars related to education policies in the emergency period of the spread of Covid-19. This paper examines the implementation of education policies during the Covid-19 pandemic related to distance learning policies. The distance learning process is a solution which in its implementation has not been optimal as a whole. There are things that must be considered in this distance learning, among others, the quality of teacher resources must be improved, both in terms of content and methodology as well as in terms of the use of information technology. In addition, students are also less active in participating in distance learning, either due to an unstable internet network or in terms of providing limited internet quota. The purpose of writing this article is to learn and understand the problems in learning activities during the pandemic, namely distance learning so that students can follow it actively and interestingly. This study uses a qualitative and observational approach. The results of this study prove that e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused various responses and changes to system that can affect the learning process and the level of development of students in responding to the material presented.

Preference for Aesthetic Principles in Dance
Authors: Pálinkás-Molnár Mónika , Bernáth László
Published: November 2022

In this study, aesthetic preference in dance is investigated from the perspective of dancers and non-dancers. We assumed that the preference for the golden ratio, good continuation, and symmetry has an advantage over works that do not have embedded aesthetic principles, and that this preference would be mostly general and not dependent on the viewer's level of education. Photographs and video clips were used, some of which had an embedded aesthetic principle and some of which did not. A questionnaire was used to gauge participants' opinions along the dimensions of liking, impact, and excitement. The results suggest that people like it more when they perceive these aesthetic principles in dance than when they do not, and that the quality of the responses does not depend on artistic qualifications. Furthermore, it turns out that if the goal is the greater impact or excitement, it is more appropriate to incorporate the golden ratio into the choreography. Good continuity and symmetry are more likely to cause a sense of pleasure than impact or excitement in the audience.
Esztétikai elvek preferenciája a táncban
Authors: Pálinkás-Molnár Mónika , Bernáth László
Published: November 2022

A tánc esztétikai preferenciáját vizsgáltuk táncos és nem táncos személyek szemszögéből. Kerestük, hogy vannak-e olyan esztétikai elvek, amelyek alkalmazása egy koreográfiában pozitív élményt vált ki a nézőkből, valamint, hogy az átélt élmény függ-e attól, hogy a befogadó művész-e vagy sem. A szakirodalom alapján azt feltételeztük, hogy az aranymetszés, a jó folytatás és a szimmetria preferencia szempontjából egyaránt előnyt élvez azokkal az alkotásokkal szemben, amelyekben nincs beágyazott esztétikai elv, valamint azt is, hogy ez a preferencia többnyire általános érvényű, és nem függ a néző képzettségétől. A vizsgálatban fényképeket és videoklipeket alkalmaztunk, amelyek közül némelyikbe bele volt szerkesztve valamely esztétikai elv, némelyikbe nem. Mérőeszközként egy kérdőívet használtunk, amelyben a tetszés, hatásosság és izgalmasság dimenziók mentén mértük a válaszolók véleményét. Az eredmények alapján valóban jobban tetszik az embereknek, ha ezeket az esztétikai elveket észlelik a táncban, mintha nem, és nem függ a művészi képzettségtől a válaszok milyensége. Továbbá kiderült, hogy ha a cél a hatásosság vagy az izgalmasság, akkor inkább aranymetszést érdemes beépíteni a koreográfiába. A jó folytatás és a szimmetria pedig inkább tetszést, mint erős hatást vagy izgalmasságot vált ki a nézőkből.
A táncpedagógus-képzés állami szabályozásának története
Authors: Bolvári-Takács Gábor
Published: November 2022

A táncpedagógus-képzés állami szabályozási folyamatának lényege abban állt, hogy az állam előbb szabályozásra érdemes tevékenységként ismerte föl a táncoktatást, majd fokozatosan irányítása alá vonta. A huszadik század közepéig ez elsősorban a szakmai érdekvédelmi szervezetek által összefogott tánciskolák tevékenységének, illetve a kimeneti vizsgafeltételek rendeleti úton történő szabályozásában merült ki. Kezdő dátum az 1922-es esztendő, amikor a belügyminiszter először létesített táncmesterképesítő vizsgabizottságot az addig szakmai egyesületek által kiállított bizonyítványok állami elismerésére. 1945 után a folyamat műfajilag (balett, mozdulatművészet, néptánc, társastánc) diverzifikálódott, s a képzések szabályozásán túl állami intézmények létrehozásában öltött testet. A táncpedagógus-képzés 1974-ben főiskolai szintre emelkedett, végül 2006 után, a bolognai folyamat eredményeként, a tánctanár mesterszakkal elérte a legmagasabb képzési szintet.
Újrateremtett világ

Amikor az 1956-os forradalomban való részvétele után elmenekült Magyarországról, Solymossy Kálmán elvesztette az Operaház táncosának kedvező társadalmi státuszát, és a semmiből kellett újrakezdenie életét. Hitt abban, hogy a tánc az élete, és ehhez az elvhez hű maradt, bármilyenek voltak is a körülmények. Bár nem volt kereslet a táncosok iránt, örök optimizmusa, kitartása és bátorsága segített neki abban, hogy kitartson az általa választott úton. Megalapította korának legnagyobb balettiskoláját Ausztráliában, és olyan táncosokat nevelt és támogatott, akik közül sokan később a táncot választották hivatásul. Mindeközben koreográfiáival és televíziós jelenlétével jelentősen hozzájárult Ausztrália és a magyar közösség kulturális életéhez. A cikk elsődleges, másodlagos és harmadlagos forrásokra épül, és többnyire kényelmi mintavételre támaszkodik a hozzáférhető forrásokból, felhasználva mind az ausztrál, mind a magyar levéltárak online elérhető adatbázisát. Bár nem zár ki minden bizonytalanságot, a tanulmány Solymossy életének és hatásának egy – eddig homályosan feltárt – gazdag időszakát fedi fel.

Authors: Khan Siddra Ahmed , Shah Saeed Ullah , Saleem Muhammad Asad Ali , Hassan Yusuf , Khan Asaad Akbar , Jan Kashif , Azeem Muhammad Abdul , Mahmood Hira
Published: November 2022

Objectives: ACR (Anticoagulation registry aims to record information about the health status of their registered patients and the health care they receive over varying periods for a particular disease requiring anticoagulation. (e.g., Warfarin, Novel Oral Anticoagulants, and Parenteral Heparins). It’s the male and female prevalence and the mean age the patients are presenting in.  Further, to foresee the development of a nationwide Anticoagulation network which will provide a nidus for developing specific disease-based registries.

Methodology: A retrospective observational study of 1695 registered patients in the ACR since 2018. The registered patient’s data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. Variables so far defined and analyzed were demographic distribution, gender, age, indications for anticoagulation.

Results: There were 799 (47.1%) female and 896 (52.86%) male patients requiring anticoagulation with a mean age of (54.37 +/- 17.79 SD) years. The primary indication for anticoagulation in our registry was Thrombosis and Thromboembolism 787/1695 patients (34.90%), Cardiac prosthesis 540/1695 patients (24.06%), Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter 486 patients (21.50%). 266/1695 (11.81%) are in the registry as they have Rheumatic Heart disease requiring anticoagulation .55/1695 (2.44%) of patients are registered with us due to Intra-cardiac devices implantation requiring anticoagulation—the remaining anticoagulation needed due to other reasons, which were cardiac and non-cardiac as well. The proportion of females with atrial fibrillation was significantly higher than male patients, 33.6% vs. 24.5% (p=0.000).  Moreover, in Age distribution, most patients are between 61 years to 70 years of age. Geographically most of the patients are from the Punjab Province.

Conclusion: ACR annual report will allow healthcare professionals to see which disease requiring anticoagulation is prevalent in our setup. It illustrates different approaches to anticoagulation therapy. Registry further informs how the patients responded to anticoagulation, the safety with which the anticoagulation was terminated after treatment of the disease in short-duration anticoagulation cases, and the outcome of patients in lifelong anticoagulation cases. Currently, we are working on how to store the data on the disease-specified target range. This will help us establish the importance of ACR in anticoagulation management.

Authors: Ullah Shafi , Ahmad Asfandyar , Akhtar Shakeel , Shah S. Sadiq , Ashraf Amber
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Hyperthyroidism can occur in 9–15% of patients having atrial fibrillation (AF, a-fib). Decreased level of serum thyrotropin in blood is a distinct threat for a-fib. Two-third of patients can convert into sinus rhythm with proper treatment of hyperthyroidism. Beta-blockers can be helpful in reducing left ventricular hypertrophy and atrio-ventricular arrhythmia in individuals having hyperthyroidism. Treating hyperthyroidism is a bit controversial. Thyroxine dose needs adjustment in those patients on replacement therapy and beta-blocker is also valuable in extrinsic hyperthyroidism. To determine frequency of hyperthyroidism in patients with Atrial fibrillation.

Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at  Cardiology unit (OPD and In-patients), Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar From Nov 17, 2019 to May 16, 2020. A sample size of 179 patients, having presentation of atrial fibrillation were enrolled in the study. All individuals having AF, confirmed by ECG, were advised to do thyroid function test and those with hyperthyroidism were enrolled.

Results: In our sample size 108 (60.34%) were males and 71(39.66%) were females. Male vs. female ratio was 1.6:1. Subjects in this study were having an average age of 46.16years + 9.51 SD with range of 25-60 years. Subjects ages were classified into three groups, among which most common age group for atrial fibrillation was more than 50 years. The hyperthyroidism was found in 14(7.82%) patients while 165(92.18%) patients were found free of hyperthyroidism.

Conclusion: We Hyperthyroidism is a recognized cause of atrial fibrillation. Every new onset atrial fibrillation should be investigated with serum TSH levels.

Published: November 2022

Background: Stature estimation by hand dimension is one of the common parameters in anthropometry but using the handprints for the same and its positive correlation with height of the subject, makes it a more useful parameter for identification of suspects who have left hand prints at the crime scene.[1]. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 150 (75 males and 75 females) healthy subjects after taking voluntary informed consent. Stature was measured by stadiometer and hand and hand print dimension were measured by vernier caliper. Data was analysed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: All parameter’s measurement were higher in male as compared to female subjects and shown range of weak to strong but positive correlation with height. Maximum positive correlation was observed in total population whereas minimum positive correlation was observed in between left hand breadth and left hand print breadth with height in female subjects. All the parameters were shown statistically significant correlation with height as p value was less than 0.05. Conclusion: The regression models thus formed is able to predict stature would be beneficial in challenges of identification of humans.

Published: November 2022

Worldwide, the prevalence of diseases caused by and related to hypertension is rising. The goal of the current study was to investigate the causes of hypertension in hospital inpatients receiving tertiary care. Patient information was gathered, including demographics, laboratory results, and the final diagnosis. The six-month study, which involved 160 patients overall, was conducted. 20% did not have hypertension, making up the remaining 80%. Between the hypertensive and non-hypertensive population, risk factors for hypertension such as smoking, alcohol use, demographics, socioeconomic status, diet, family history, family size, education level, salt intake, lifestyle, and basic metabolic index were compared. In the study population, it was discovered that drinking alcohol, smoking, and eating a varied diet were significant risk factors for hypertension. As a result, these factors can be taken into account when creating effective prevention strategies and management guidelines for hypertension at the study site.

This research aims to analyse the causes of the non-survival of the Bajo tribe’s local wisdom in marine bio-conservation in Wakatobi Regency, the Province of Southeast Sulawesi. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a cultural studies approach. Data collection was carried out by involved observation, in-depth interviews with selected informants, and documentation study. The data obtained were analysed by the following steps: data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the research showed that the cause of the non-survival of the Bajo tribe’s local wisdom in marine bio-conservation in Wakatobi Regency, the Province of Southeast Sulawesi is a change in the mind-set and lifestyle of the Bajo tribal community. The mind-set and lifestyle of modern society have an impact on the local wisdom of the Bajo people themselves. The lack of the role of traditional institutions can be seen from the diminishing direct involvement of traditional institutions in efforts to shape behaviour and inculcate traditional values and social capital in the Bajo tribal community.
Computational Analysis of Anion Transporter Proteins Revealed Rv3679 and Rv2397c as Potential Drug Targets for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Authors:   National Facility for Biopharmaceuticals, Guru Nanak Khalsa College of Arts, Science & Commerce, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400019, India, Jha Vikas
Published: November 2022

Tuberculosis is still a serious, life-threatening disease all throughout the world. One of the greatest therapeutic challenges is the treatment of multidrugresistant tuberculosis. The prevalence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) poses a danger to the ability of conventional control strategies to stem the global TB epidemic. Drug resistance in TB is primarily a result of poor prescribing practices, noncompliance with treatment regimens, erratic drug supply, and subpar drug quality. The cell wall composition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis makes it many times less permeable to chemotherapeutic drugs, the current vaccination only provides modest protection against the disease. The cell membrane, which is made up of proteins from the ATP binding cassette family, allows Mycobacterium tuberculosis to quickly alter its cellular membrane to adapt to an unfavourable environment. A greater understanding of such transport proteins may lead to earlier detection and more effective therapeutic drug targets. A thorough computational analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis anion transporter proteins was conducted. Bioinformatics tools were used to predict its physiochemical properties, secondary structure, functional analysis, protein-protein interaction, subcellular localization, and molecular docking was also carried out. From the selected proteins, Rv3679 and Rv2397c exhibited best results and can be considered as potential drug targets.
Experiencing Being Judged: Making Visible School Community Expectations of Rural Principals
Authors:   University of Waikato, Earl Rinehart Kerry
Published: November 2022

Judgements of the work of school principals may be formal through an appraisal process or informal from students, teachers, parents, and members of the community in which the school operates. This article focuses on New Zealand rural primary school principals’ experiences of informal expectations—and judgements about whether they meet these expectations—from school community members. The aim of this study is to illustrate principals’ work in responding to community expectations and the contextual factors of school settings, and to advocate for more overt policy and process attention to such work in the formal appraisal of principals. Using Deweyan pragmatism for a theoretical approach, research evidence was generated from semi‑structured interviews with principals and ex‑principals of small rural schools. Abductive analysis was used. Not only do principals’ relationships with individuals and groups within their communities impact on their work and ability to succeed in their professional ambitions for school and students, but relationships between groups in the school community may also influence local judgements of that work. These relationships can be important aspects of schools’ historical contexts. The time principals spend prioritising and responding to community expectations is notable and should be reflected in policy and processes of principal appraisal. Insights from this research are likely to be useful for principals and their mentors, as well as for facilitators of preparation programs and inservice professional learning for principals and aspiring principals.
They just give us the shiny picture, but I want to know what it's really like: Insights from regional high schools on perceptions of university outreach in South Australia.
Authors:   The University of Newcastle, Australia, Stone Cathy , King Sharron ,   University of South Australia, Ronan Chris ,   Country Universities Centre
Published: November 2022

Across Australia, students at regional, rural and remote high schools are considerably less likely to go to university than their metropolitan counterparts. One of the ways in which universities try to help to bridge this gap is to organise visits to such schools, with the purpose of familiarising students with the idea of university and encouraging them to consider going on to university after school. These visits range in purpose, from direct marketing to a genuine effort to widen access to university more generally. The key purpose of university visits is not always made explicit to the schools or the students, leading to a mismatch between university intentions and school and student expectations. Recent research with regional high schools in South Australia, using a mixed-methods approach, reveals the impact of this mismatch, with university visits being regarded by students and schools as, at best, disappointing and, at worst, as nothing more than marketing exercises and hence to be treated with suspicion. These research findings are discussed, and recommendations made for ways in which university visits may be more effectively geared towards meeting the needs of students, schools and parents. This paper recommends that universities work more closely with regional schools, parents and communities more broadly, with a greater emphasis on providing useful, practical information about what ‘going to university’ entails. We argue that, through this, more regional students may consider university as a viable post-school option.

Purpose: The study sought to assess the influence of logistics innovation on the performance of building and construction manufacturing companies in Kenya. This comes at a time when the world is facing climatic challenges and dynamics attributed to increased environmentally unfriendly practices which lead to increased emissions and pollution to the environment. As the companies are called to practice eco-friendly operations, logistics remains one area of focus, where most global leaders are investing in to ensure sustainability is embraced. However, this has not been effectively assessed on a local context. The study sought to establish the key logistics innovations that manufacturing companies can embrace to enhance performance.

Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design approach. This method is preferred because it allows an in-depth study of the subject. The study population was 900 employees drawn from the 54 building and construction manufacturing firms in Kenya. The sample size was 270 respondents which was determined through purposive sampling targeting departments (production, quality assurance, procurement and supply chain, transport and logistics, and administration) in the 54 companies. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

Findings: The results revealed that logistics innovation significantly influenced the performance of the building and construction manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study concluded that through embrace of green logistics through logistics innovation, performance of the manufacturing firms was obtained.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: It is recommended that the management of the building and construction manufacturing firms embraces logistics innovation though use of solar technology, hybrid vehicles and tracks and reducing emissions in order to enhance sustainability and promote performance.

The biggest challenge for current education system is to use technology blended teaching in a innovative way. As per current advancement in technology the teachers should be well acquainted to integrate technology in teaching and learning along with traditional way of teaching. New technology helps students to observe and understand the topic in a much easier way. All streams of education have now ingress of technology and now it is the turn of teachers to make optimal utilization of technology to enhance the learning capacity of the students and groom the young minds to become good citizens and play a vital role in nation building. Now a days technology has reached everybody’s home. It is the main component of infrastructural facilities that an institution should provide for teachers and student community for sustenance of quality education and make them competent enough to face global challenges.
Innovative Educational Practices in Teaching, Learning and Evaluation

Educational process incorporating teaching, learning and evaluating during the outbreak of the pandemic of Covid 19 amply demonstrated that on-line processes are neither effective nor productive even for a short period while teaching should be assured as the human process of input-output of knowledge in a specific field, the learning is equally a human process dependent upon the human behavior and attitudes. Moreover, the evaluation system must be holistic and compatible.

Recent scientific analysis of two genre paintings by Johannes Vermeer at the National Gallery of Art in Washington (Woman Holding a Balance and A Lady Writing) has uncovered a level of freedom and spontaneity in Vermeer’s preparatory painting stages that was not previously known. Researchers built on decades of research and used a suite of new, noninvasive analytical techniques to image Vermeer’s painted sketch and underpaint—layers hidden below the paintings’ surfaces—more clearly and precisely than was previously possible. Here we analyze and interpret our findings in the context of Vermeer’s career and in relation to works by his peers, high-life Dutch genre painters of the seventeenth century.

Authors: Husain Wassan Mhammed , Ahmed Reyam Essam
Published: November 2022

One of the most prevalent metabolic disorders and a major global cause of death and disability is diabetes mellitus. Deficits for both extracellular and intracellular magnesium are typically found in type 2 diabetes. The goal of the study was to compare the serum magnesium and HbA1c levels of patients with type 2 diabetes. A 95 people with diabetes overall risk indicators for magnesium insufficiency were included in this investigation. Blood was drawn to estimate the levels of serum magnesium, FBG, and HbA1C, (95) people in all were enrolled in our study; the mean age of the patients were (55.2 ±3.24 years) the most of those taking oral hypoglycaemic agents. The mean of serum magnesium, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was (1.75 ± 0.26 mg/ dL), (7.83 ± 1.4 % ) and (190.56 ±70.9 mg/dL) respectively. The study found a positive association between HbA1C and FBG and a negative link between serum magnesium levels and HbA1C. As for the study's conclusion, type two diabetes mellitus has hypomagnesemia and a high HbA1c level. We suggested increasing the amount of magnesium in the diet, and greater clinical studies will be required in the future.

Objetivo: Identificar las variables pronósticas de supervivencia global en una cohorte de pacientes costarricenses con adenocarcinoma colorrectal que fueron atendidos en el Hospital San Juan de Dios entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2015 y determinar sus tasas de supervivencia a los 5 años.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo en el cual se incluyó a todos los pacientes diagnosticados con adenocarcinoma de colon o recto durante el período de estudio. Se obtuvieron las variables clínicas del expediente médico y se identificaron los factores determinantes de supervivencia global mediante un método de regresión de Cox univariado y multivariante, con el cual se calculó el hazard ratio (HR) y su respectivo intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). Resultados: Se incluyó a un total de 667 pacientes con una mediana de seguimiento de 25.4 meses. La supervivencia a 5 años según estadio clínico fue de 91.7%, 60%, 44.9% y 18.9% para los estadios I, II, III y IV, respectivamente. En el análisis univariado, la edad mayor de 65 años, el bajo grado de diferenciación tumoral, un estadio clínico elevado, un pobre desempeño funcional, el origen proximal del tumor primario, un alto índice de ganglios positivos entre ganglios negativos y la ausencia de inestabilidad microsatelital fueron las variables asociadas estadísticamente a mayor riesgo de muerte. No obstante, después del ajuste multivariado, solo el estado funcional al inicio del tratamiento (HR: 4.24; IC 95%: 2.20-8.19; p<0.001 para la comparación de estado funcional 0 vs. 1 y 2) y la edad mayor de 65 años (HR: 1.90; IC 95%: 1.03-3.53; p=0.014) se asociaron independientemente a mortalidad.Conclusión: La edad avanzada (mayor de 65 años) y el estadio funcional fueron las variables independientes asociadas a supervivencia en la cohorte estudiada.
Southern Ocean cloud and shortwave radiation biases in a nudged climate model simulation: does the model ever get it right?

Abstract. The Southern Ocean radiative bias continues to impact climate and weather models, including the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS). The radiative bias, characterised by too much shortwave radiation reaching the surface, is attributed to the incorrect simulation of cloud properties, including frequency and phase. To identify cloud regimes important to the Southern Ocean, we use k-means cloud histogram clustering, applied to a satellite product and then fitted to nudged simulations of the latest-generation ACCESS atmosphere model. We identify instances when the model correctly or incorrectly simulates the same cloud type as the satellite product for any point in time or space. We then evaluate the cloud and radiation biases in these instances. We find that when the ACCESS model correctly simulates the cloud type, cloud property and radiation biases of equivalent, or in some cases greater, magnitude remain compared to when cloud types are incorrectly simulated. Furthermore, we find that even when radiative biases appear small on average, cloud property biases, such as liquid or ice water paths or cloud fractions, remain large. Our results suggest that simply getting the right cloud type (or the cloud macrophysics) is not enough to reduce the Southern Ocean radiative bias. Furthermore, in instances where the radiative bias is small, it may be so for the wrong reasons. Considerable effort is still required to improve cloud microphysics, with a particular focus on cloud phase.
La storia in gioco. Public history e medium ludico a Play - Festival del gioco di Modena

Published: November 2022

The relationship between games and history is complex and offers various food for thought: the narrative that is built within it, the notions that can transmit, the interest in the subject matter that the game inevitably arouses in the players and the idea of ​​the game itself as an interpretation and historical source. Two conferences (2021 and 2022) were held at Play - The Games Festival in Modena to deal precisely with these aspects.
"A san Roque invocamos para que la peste y los males pasen de lado". Reacciones, creencias y devociones en relación con la peste durante la Edad Media
Authors: Sigüenza Martín Raquel
Published: November 2022

Con la irrupción de la peste negra en el siglo XIV, la sociedad europea buscó auxilio en diferentes santos y advocaciones marianas. San Sebastián, san Roque, san Antonio Abad y san Cristóbal, así como la Virgen de la Misericordia, entre otros, se convirtieron en algunos de los intercesores más queridos por el pueblo. Con el presente artículo, se pretende analizar los modos de representación de los mencionados santos en relación con su patronazgo frente a la peste, haciendo especial hincapié en algunas obras artísticas de interesante iconografía (gonfaloni italianos, imágenes de los catorce intercesores, o Vierzehnheiligen, en alemán...), pero también nos acercaremos a las interpretaciones sobre el origen de la epidemia que se dieron en la época y los modos en los que, una vez esta hubo desaparecido, se dio gracias al cielo por su ayuda. Todo ello con varias referencias a su influjo y permanencia en siglos posteriores.
Holding onto the past in present for the future: Conservation and preservation in Archives of India
Authors: Rohan Mr.
Published: November 2022

Archives are the repositories of sources from the past, however they are also its subjects, sites and the politics of their own. An archive is a product of the forms of decisions taken by its various stakeholders, beginning from those who wrote the papers to the people (archivists) who cared, processed, curated them, to the state machinery that determine the importance of such papers, to the scholars who framed the content of the form after years of spending time with them. In a democracy, the records are the means by which the servants of the public are held accountable to the people. Records have different functions - they are memory to an organisation, tools in the hands of administration, they encapsulate eons of experience, they become source of legal rights, information, and that they merit utmost attention. The article, thus, delves into the two aspects of an archive – Poetics of the Archive i.e., rationale, politics and historical evolution of the institution; and Grammar of the Archive i.e., the methods of conservation and preservation of the records in India.
