Konformizm jako mechanizm wpływający na procesy relacyjne i adaptacyjne w grupie rówieśniczej. Analiza porównawcza wśród dostosowanych i niedostosowanych społecznie adolescentów – pełno- i niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie
Authors: Michel Małgorzata , Opozda-Suder Sylwia
Published: April 2020

Poruszona w artykule tematyka koncentruje się wokół problemu konformizmu. Konformizacja zachowań została ujęta jako swoisty mechanizm adaptacyjny związany z predyspozycją do bezrefleksyjnego odtwarzania wzorców narzuconych przez grupę uczestnictwa społecznego, warunkowany potrzebami afiliacyjnymi i obawą przed odrzuceniem rówieśniczym. Tym samym przedmiot prowadzonych analiz dotyczy skłonności do przyjmowania postawy konformistycznej przez badanych z trzech grup porównawczych, zróżnicowanych ze względu na poziom rozwoju intelektualnego i problem niedostosowania społecznego. Cechy te stanowią dodatkowe czynniki ryzyka uruchomienia tendencji konformistycznych, mając znaczenie dla powodzenia procesu integracji grupowej. Wnioskowanie przeprowadzono w schemacie porównawczym na trzech grupach: grupa A – niedostosowani w normie intelektualnej (n = 57); grupa B – niedostosowani z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną (n = 57); grupa C – dostosowani społecznie (n = 60). Łącznie wielkość próby: 174 badanych w wieku 16–19 lat. W badaniach wykorzystano autorskie narzędzie o zadawalających właściwościach psychometrycznych – Skala Postaw Konformistycznych (SPK). Otrzymane wyniki pozwalają stwierdzić, że porównywane grupy wyraźnie różnicuje poziom tendencji konformistycznych. Dodatkowo konformizm, w każdej z porównywanych grup, ogniskuje się wokół różnych atrybutów wyzwalających.
Pracownicy zakładów karnych wobec zagrożenia wypaleniem zawodowym. Diagnoza zjawiska
Authors: Sekułowicz Małgorzata
Published: April 2020

Celem badań pilotażowych było ustalenie skali ryzyka wypalenia zawodowego funkcjonariuszy zakładów karnych, oraz analiza jakie czynniki mogą pozostawać w związku z ryzykiem wypalenia. Znaczące w tym wypadku było ustalenie jakie style i strategie radzenia sobie stosują badani i jakie to może mieć znaczenie dla poziomu i skali wypalenia. Jaki jest poziom lęku badanych. Ważnym dla oceny dobrostanu badanych pracowników było poczucie własnej skuteczności badanych oraz ich poczucie satysfakcji z życia. Dla oceny ryzyka wypalenia znaczące jest też poczucie wsparcia społecznego, dlatego wśród celów poznawczych znalazła się ocena wsparcia i jego współzależność z wypaleniem zawodowym badanych funkcjonariuszy zakładów karnych. W badaniach wykorzystano Kwestionariusz Wypalenia Zawodowego Maslach, Kwestionariusz STAI – Inwentarz Stanu i Cechy Lęku, Kwestionariusz Radzenia Sobie w Sytuacjach Stresowych CISS, Kwestionariusz COPE – Wielowymiarowy Inwentarz do Pomiaru Radzenia Sobie ze Stresem, Skalę Uogólnionej Własnej Skuteczności GSES, Skalę Satysfakcji z Życia SWLS, Kwestionariusz SSQSR – Wsparcia Społecznego. Wyniki badań pilotażowych pozwoliły na ustalenie, że w grupie przebadanych 30 funkcjonariuszy ochrony z dwóch zakładów karnych, poziom wypalenia jest umiarkowany. Najsilniej zaznaczona jest depersonalizacja. Ich zachowanie cechuje wysoki poziom lęku przy jednoczesnym wykorzystywaniu zadaniowych stylów radzenia sobie i aktywnych strategii. Poczucie własnej skuteczności i satysfakcji z życia pozostają na średnim poziomie. Otrzymywane wsparcie społeczne nie jest w pełni satysfakcjonujące. Nie stwierdzono współzależności pomiędzy tymi zmiennymi i wypaleniem zawodowym badanych.
Agresywność młodzieży a negatywne zdarzenia życiowe w świetle badań porównawczych młodzieży przebywającej w zakładach poprawczych i licealistów
Authors: Jurczyk Marcin , Lalak Danuta
Published: April 2020

W artykule przedstawiono analizę wyników badań przeprowadzonych wśród osób nieletnich przebywających w zakładach resocjalizacyjnych (stanowiących grupę kryterialną) oraz wśród młodzieży ze szkół licealnych pozostającej w zgodzie z normami prawnymi (stanowiących grupę kontrolną). Celem przeprowadzonych badań była analiza istniejących różnic i związków między negatywnymi zdarzeniami życiowymi a ogólnym poziomem agresywności oraz jej wymiarami (agresją fizyczną, agresją werbalną, gniewem i wrogością). Zastosowane narzędzia badawcze to: Kwestionariusz ankiety oraz Kwestionariusz Agresji Bussa-Perry’ego. Badania miały charakter ilościowy. Analiza danych z wykorzystaniem testu t-Studenta oraz Chi-kwadrat wykazała szereg istotnych różnic w nasileniu ogólnego poziomu agresywności i jej wymiarów oraz w zakresie występowania negatywnych zdarzeń życiowych między badanymigrupami. Analiza korelacji z wykorzystaniem współczynnika r-Pearsona między negatywnymi zdarzeniami życiowymi a agresywnością (i jej wymiarami) ujawniła istotne związki między zmiennymi wyłącznie w grupie młodzieży z zakładów resocjalizacyjnych. Z kolei analiza regresji w grupie osób nieletnich z zakładów resocjalizacyjnych wykazała, że najistotniejszymi predykatorami warunkującymi wzrost agresywności (i jej wymiarów) są negatywne zdarzenia życiowe dotyczące w pierwszej kolejności środowiska szkolnego. Istotne okazały się również czynniki dotyczące choroby własnej lub osób bliskich oraz bycie ofiarą przemocy w rodzinie lub bycie ofiarą przestępstwa.

W artykule prezentujemy całościowy model predyktorów uwzględniający prężność, wspólnotowość sprawczość, zachowania zdrowotne i satysfakcję z życia. Jego dopasowanie było testowane poprzez analizę wielu zmiennych, które dotychczas były badane oddzielnie: prężność wspólnotowość, sprawczość i zachowania zdrowotne jako zmienne wyjaśniające oraz satysfakcja z życia jako zmienna wyjaśniana. Założyliśmy, że orientacja sprawcza i wspólnotowa, prężność i zachowania zdrowotne jako zasoby osobiste można uznać za czynniki wpływające na kształtowanie satysfakcji życiowej a w konsekwencji na przebieg terapii uzależnień. Z naszych badań wynika, że zasoby osobiste są czynnikami determinującym satysfakcję życiową co może przyczyniać się w znacznej mierze do walki z chorobą w tym z uzależnieniem.
Coral Community: Preliminary Biodiversity Survey of Churna Island, Northern Arabian Sea
Authors: Amjad Shahid , Khan Nuzhat , Ishaq Saira
Published: April 2020

Biodiversity survey between Cape Monze and Churna Island was carried out for the assessment of coral assemblages in the area. During the present study, diving surveys were conducted to document the living corals that included deep sea coral, Coelenterates, Bryozoans, Gorgonia (Sea Fan), Scleractinian, (Stony Corals) Cnidaria (Hydroids), Porites (Small Polyp Stony), Pocilopora (Cauliflower Corals), Acropora (Hard Corals), sea urchins, sea anemones, coral fish spp, sea slugs, stone fish and bivalves were observed and documented. To have a better understanding of the distribution pattern “Shannon Weiner Biodiversity Index” for species diversity “H” (0.845-1.176) and evenness “J” (0.962-0.937) were calculated, the values indicate that the coral species were evenly distributed and did not show any significant variation in the area. Budding coral communities were observed at the sedimentary rock of Churna in patches, and showed a random distribution behavior all along the surveyed area. Random, scattered and aggregate distribution patterns of corals may be due to the wave beaten physical environment of Churna Island that do not allow sustainable growth of coral communities. Moreover, the high energy waves and water currents destablize and erode the sedimentary substrate on which corals grow. The corals are therefore unable to establish themselves to form a natural reef due to loss of natural living and non-living substrate. The ecology of Churna Island also under the influence of nearby coastal industries, and the Hub River influx causing floods in the SW monsoon period that may destablize rubble and increase the seawater turbidity level. These environmental factors contributing to the deterioration of present day corals, and larval settlement. It may be concluded that biological resources are renewable and can even increase with proper management techniques. Breakwater wall and artificial substrate must be encouraged to further facilitate the growth and development of Corals in the area.
SIP Issues and Challenges – A Scalable Three Factor Authentication Scheme
Authors: Jan Saeed Ullah , Qayum Fawad , Khan Ajab
Published: April 2020

The SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is an application and presentation layer signaling protocol used for initiating, continuing and terminating multimedia session for the end user. It gains much attention of the researchers because it is exposed to several threats and noticed challenging vulnerabilities from time to time. Consequently, the security of SIP is a crucial task and many efforts have been made by different researchers and tried to divert the attention towards its solution. But still, no one claims with conviction about a foolproof secure mechanism for SIP. As users extensively use SIP services, the mutual authentication and key agreement among the participants is an important issue. So, robust authentication and key agreement scheme are mandatory for enhancing security, legitimacy and better complexities. Therefore, we present an improved three-factor authentication scheme that caters all the weakness and known attacks in Mishra et al. scheme. The proposed scheme not only guarantees for security but performance can also be made lightweight. As performance and security contradict each other, the change in one inversely affects the other. The proposed scheme has been analyzed both formally using BAN (Burrows-Abadi-Needham) logic and ProVerif1.93 software verification toolkit, and informally using assumptions which show a delicate balance of security with performance.
The Role of Knowledge Management and Data Mining in Improving Educational Practices and the Learning Infrastructure
Authors: Meghji Areej Fatemah , Mahoto Naeem Ahmed , Unar Mukhtiar Ali , Shaikh Muhmmad Akram
Published: April 2020

Higher Educational Institutes hold a central and vital role in the knowledge economy. Knowledge generated by these institutes needs to be collected and disseminated to bring about improvement in not only student learning and performance, but also in educational practices, processes and the society in general. Sadly, in many institutes, this knowledge is rarely recognized, captured, analysed or utilized. Apart from the need for improved learning outcomes, rapid growth in educational data and technology has motivated several educational institutes to implement Knowledge Management (KM). KM is the key to enable educational institutes reach their goals and achieve their objectives. This paper explores the basic concept of KM and addresses the need of KM in higher educational institutes by proposing a framework to improve knowledge processes and practices in academia. This paper also highlights the role of data mining in facilitating KM in higher education through a case study that focuses on aspects of student management. Using data mining methods of pattern discovery and association rule mining, interesting patterns have been discovered from academic data that can be used for effective pedagogical decision making. The applications and challenges faced in the implementation of KM within higher educational institutes have also been briefly discussed.
Impact of Design Patterns on Software Complexity and Size
Authors: Qamar Nosheen , Malik Ali Afzal
Published: April 2020

Many different factors influence the quality of software. Among the most important of these factors is software complexity. One way to improve software quality, therefore, is to minimize its complexity making it more understandable and maintainable. The design phase of the software development life cycle plays an instrumental role in fostering quality in software. Seasoned designers often use past design best practices codified in the form of design patterns to make their designs and the resultant code more elegant, robust, and resilient to change. Little work, however, has been done to empirically assess the quantitative impact of design patterns on software complexity. This research is an attempt to fill this gap. A comparative analysis of before and after versions of program pairs written without and with design patterns was performed for all twenty three GoF (Gang of Four) design patterns. These program pairs were collected (or, in some cases, developed) and compared with respect to their complexity and size. The results of this comparative analysis reveal that the cyclomatic complexity of the programs written using design patterns was less for most of the design patterns as compared to the programs written without using design patterns. However, the values of CK metrics, number of classes, and software size SLOC (Source Lines of Code) increased when design patterns were used.
The Physical Significance of Time Conformal Minkowski Spacetime
Authors: Ali Farhad , Jan Muhammad Asif , Mashwani Wali Khan , Khanum Rashida Adeeb , Khan Hidayat Ullah
Published: April 2020

The Minkowsiki spacetime is flat and there is no source of gravitation. The time conformal factor is adding some cuvature to this spacetime which introduces some source of gravitation to the spacetime. For the Minkowski spacetime the Einstein Field equation tells nothing, because all the components of the Ricci curvature tensor are zero, but for the time conformal Minkowski spacetime some of them are non zero. Calculating the components of the Ricci tensor and using the Einstein field equations, expressions for the cosmological constant are cacultaed. These expressions give some information for the cosmological constant. Generally, the Noether symmetry generator corresponding to the energy content in the spacetime disapeares by introducing the time conformal factor, but our investigations in this paper reveals that it appears somewhere with some re-scale factor. The appearance of the time like isometry along with some re-scaling factor will rescale the energy content in the corresponding particular time conformal Minkowski spacetime. A time conformal factor of the form () is introduced in the Minkowski spacetime for the invistigation of the cosmological constant. The Noether symmetry equation is used for the Lagrangian of general time conformal Minkowski spacetime to find all those particular Minkowski spacetimes that admit the time conformal factor. Besides the Noether symmetries the cosmology constant is calculated in the corresponding spacetimes.
Estimating Sectoral Water Demand for Sindh Province of Pakistan
Authors: Lohano Heman Das , Marri Fateh Muhammad
Published: April 2020

Water resources in Sindh province of Pakistan are under significant pressure due to increasing and conflicting water demand from municipalities for domestic users, agriculture and industries, and requirements of environmental flows. Population growth and climate change are likely to pose serious challenges to households and economic sectors that depend on water. This study estimates the present water demand from municipalities, agriculture and industries, and its future projections by the year 2050 in Sindh. The study also evaluates the impact of climate change on sectoral water demand and assesses the water requirements for the environmental flows. The results show that presently the total water demand for these sectors in Sindh is 44.06 Million Acre Feet (MAF). Agriculture is the largest consumer of water, accounting for 95.24 percent of the total water demand. Municipal water demand accounts for 2.61 percent while industrial water demand accounts for 1.88 percent. The demand for water in these sectors is expected to rise by 10 percent from 2018 to 2050. Moreover, depending on climate change scenario, the total water demand in these three sectors is likely to rise by 16 to 25 percent from 2018 to 2050. In additions, water requirements for the environmental flows have been indicated as 10 MAF in the National Water Accord of 1991. The findings of this study call for policy measures and strategies for management of water resources in Sindh.

Authors: Shar Abdul Majeed , Abro Waheed Ali , Mahesar Aftab Ahmed , Lee Kun Sang
Published: April 2020

The production from shale gas reservoirs has significantly increased due to technological advancements. The shale gas reservoirs are very heterogeneous and the heterogeneity has a significant effect on the quality and productivity of reservoirs. Hence, it is essential to study the behavior of such reservoirs for accurate modelling and performance prediction. To evaluate the impact of fracture parameters on shale gas reservoir productivity using CMG (Computer Modelling Group) stars simulation software was the main objective of this study. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis considering an example shale gas reservoir was conducted for production performance analysis considering uniform and non-uniform fractures configurations. Several simulations were performed by considering the multi-stage hydraulically fractured reservoir. The sensitivities conducted includes the different cases of moderate and severe heterogeneity along with variable fractures half-length, effect of changing fracture spacing, variable fracture conductivities. The simulation results showed that by increasing conductivity of fracture increases the gas production rate significantly. Moreover, cases of reservoir permeability heterogeneity were analyzed which show the significant effect on gas rate and on cumulative gas production. The results of this study can be used to improve the effectiveness in designing and developing of shale gas reservoirs and also to improve the accuracy of analyzing heterogeneous shale gas reservoir performance.
Exercise and Muscle Lipid Content, Composition, and Localization: Influence on Muscle Insulin Sensitivity
Authors: Bergman Bryan C. , Goodpaster Bret H.
Published: April 2020

Accumulation of lipid in skeletal muscle is thought to be related to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Initial work in this area focused on accumulation of intramuscular triglyceride; however, bioactive lipids such as diacylglycerols and sphingolipids are now thought to play an important role. Specific species of these lipids appear to be more negative toward insulin sensitivity than others. Adding another layer of complexity, localization of lipids within the cell appears to influence the relationship between these lipids and insulin sensitivity. This article summarizes how accumulation of total lipids, specific lipid species, and localization of lipids influence insulin sensitivity in humans. We then focus on how these aspects of muscle lipids are impacted by acute and chronic aerobic and resistance exercise training. By understanding how exercise alters specific species and localization of lipids, it may be possible to uncover specific lipids that most heavily impact insulin sensitivity.
“Take Me To Your Leader”: An Electrophysiological Appraisal of the Role of Hub Cells in Pancreatic Islets
Authors: Satin Leslie S. , Zhang Quan , Rorsman Patrik
Published: April 2020

The coordinated electrical activity of β-cells within the pancreatic islet drives oscillatory insulin secretion. A recent hypothesis postulates that specially equipped “hub” or “leader” cells within the β-cell network drive islet oscillations and that electrically silencing or optically ablating these cells suppresses coordinated electrical activity (and thus insulin secretion) in the rest of the islet. In this Perspective, we discuss this hypothesis in relation to established principles of electrophysiological theory. We conclude that whereas electrical coupling between β-cells is sufficient for the propagation of excitation across the islet, there is no obvious electrophysiological mechanism that explains how hyperpolarizing a hub cell results in widespread inhibition of islet electrical activity and disruption of their coordination. Thus, intraislet diffusible factors should perhaps be considered as an alternate mechanism.
MicroRNA Networks in Pancreatic Islet Cells: Normal Function and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Eliasson Lena , Esguerra Jonathan L.S.
Published: April 2020

Impaired insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells is central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and microRNAs (miRNAs) are fundamental regulatory factors in this process. Differential expression of miRNAs contributes to β-cell adaptation to compensate for increased insulin resistance, but deregulation of miRNA expression can also directly cause β-cell impairment during the development of T2D. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally reduce gene expression through translational inhibition or mRNA destabilization. The nature of miRNA targeting implies the presence of complex and large miRNA–mRNA regulatory networks in every cell, including the insulin-secreting β-cell. Here we exemplify one such network using our own data on differential miRNA expression in the islets of T2D Goto-Kakizaki rat model. Several biological processes are influenced by multiple miRNAs in the β-cell, but so far most studies have focused on dissecting the mechanism of action of individual miRNAs. In this Perspective we present key islet miRNA families involved in T2D pathogenesis including miR-200, miR-7, miR-184, miR-212/miR-132, and miR-130a/b/miR-152. Finally, we highlight four challenges and opportunities within islet miRNA research, ending with a discussion on how miRNAs can be utilized as therapeutic targets contributing to personalized T2D treatment strategies.

Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides important information to aid in achieving glycemic targets in people with diabetes.

PURPOSE

We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CGM with usual care for parameters of glycemic control in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

DATA SOURCES

Many electronic databases were searched for articles published from inception until 30 June 2019.

STUDY SELECTION

We selected RCTs that assessed both changes in HbA1c and time in target range (TIR), together with time below range (TBR), time above range (TAR), and glucose variability expressed as coefficient of variation (CV).

DATA EXTRACTION

Data were extracted from each trial by two investigators.

DATA SYNTHESIS

All results were analyzed by a random effects model to calculate the weighted mean difference (WMD) with the 95% CI. We identified 15 RCTs, lasting 12–36 weeks and involving 2,461 patients. Compared with the usual care (overall data), CGM was associated with modest reduction in HbA1c (WMD −0.17%, 95% CI −0.29 to −0.06, I2 = 96.2%), increase in TIR (WMD 70.74 min, 95% CI 46.73–94.76, I2 = 66.3%), and lower TAR, TBR, and CV, with heterogeneity between studies. The increase in TIR was significant and robust independently of diabetes type, method of insulin delivery, and reason for CGM use. In preplanned subgroup analyses, real-time CGM led to the higher improvement in mean HbA1c (WMD −0.23%, 95% CI −0.36 to −0.10, P < 0.001), TIR (WMD 83.49 min, 95% CI 52.68–114.30, P < 0.001), and TAR, whereas both intermittently scanned CGM and sensor-augmented pump were associated with the greater decline in TBR.

LIMITATIONS

Heterogeneity was high for most of the study outcomes; all studies were sponsored by industry, had short duration, and used an open-label design.

CONCLUSIONS

CGM improves glycemic control by expanding TIR and decreasing TBR, TAR, and glucose variability in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Transylvania Fest, An itinerant food and culture festival
Authors: Ratiu Pamela , Crăiuț Rareș , Sloan Donald
Published: April 2020

Established in London in 1979 by Ion and Elizabeth Ratiu, the Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation initiates and supports educational and cultural projects across Transylvania. Ion Ratiu (1917 – 2000), the elected leader of the World Union of Free Romanians, was a journalist, broadcaster and author, as well as a successful businessman in shipping and property. After studying law and joining the army, he entered Romania’s Foreign Service, and his first posting was to London. He obtained political asylum in the UK after Romania’s alignment with the Axis powers – those who fought with Germany against the Allied Forces. After the communist regime came to power in 1947, Ratiu remained in exile in London, from where he became the most consistent voice of opposition to Nicolae Ceausescu. In 1990, after 50 years in the UK, he returned his homeland to contest the presidency. Despite widespread disappointment at his failure to secure power, there is no doubting his impact on political and cultural life in Romania. Transylvania Fest builds on Ion Ratiu’s legacy. Its aims are to empower Romanian citizens to shape a strong future, while also stimulating pride in their unique cultural heritage. By focusing on the traditional foods of Transylvania, albeit adapted for a contemporary audience, it promotes economic development that is inclusive and community-oriented, that respects the natural environment, and that is sustainable. Initially conceived as a means of attracting tourists to a region of Romania that still has relatively few visitors, it has grown to become the country’s most prominent food festival that now receives international press coverage and that enjoys the patronage of Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Margarita and of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
An Agenda for Food Studies
Authors: Sloan Donald
Published: April 2020

There are many possible approaches to constructing university level educational programmes in food studies. Some encourage historical analysis, others are firmly grounded in the social sciences and an increasing number are focused on political and ethical issues. This is a somewhat personal agenda. It reflects a framework adopted at one university that might stimulate consideration of the value of studying food and drink from cultural perspectives. At Oxford Brookes University our approach continues to evolve. It is built upon exploration of our relationships with food and drink – what shapes them and what are their consequences, both positive and negative, for individuals and society? It is interdisciplinary and, I hope, challenging and engaging. We aim to provide students with ample opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge through regular interaction with influential and thoughtful practitioners.
Taking a Light Glass in Soho
Authors: Bloomfield Paul
Published: April 2020

I am taking a light glass in Soho! Standing outside the Coach and Horses (one of my regular haunts), with my newly acquired drinking companion, who is reminiscing about how things have changed. She misses her days with Soho luminaries, not least ‘No Knickers Joyce’. She drains the glass of wine that I bought her and goes back inside. She will never speak to me again. Such is the character of Soho – sustained by drink and legends. Today it’s a cosmopolitan quarter of restaurants, pubs, bars, coffee shops and clubs, interspersed with traders, hairdressers, porn shops and media houses. It’s here that London’s gay ‘village’ affably co-exists with tourists, hedonists, media- types and epicures. Soho is comprised of about 130 acres of central London. Oxford Street, Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road mark its physical boundaries, and provide a framework for its powerful and enduring symbolic culture. Soho was extolled by a foreign diplomat at the beginning of the 20 th Century as a home of artists, dancers and musicians and a sanctuary for foreign refugees. Fifty years later it was condemned by the Daily Mail as a neighbourhood, ‘Solely for stinking men, prostitutes, perverts and pimps.’ Whatever its perceived failings, its rich diversity placed it at the vanguard of new tastes – particularly in food and fashion. It has remained a case study in cross-cultural acceptance, as well as a theatre of over-indulgence and unruly living.

Введение. Инфаркт миокарда (ИМ) одна из распространенных причин инвалидизации и смертности в развитых странах мира. Прогнозирование развития неблагоприятных исходов как в раннем, так и в отдаленном периодах ИМ с использованием биомаркеров является актуальной задачей современной медицины. Цель. Оценка прогностической роли галектина-3 у пациентов с ИМ с подъемом сегмента ST (ИМпST). Материал и методы. В исследование включено 259 пациентов в первые 24 ч после ИМпST. Средний возраст пациентов составил 58,60,6 года, в анализируемой выборке преобладали мужчины 74,9. Всем пациентам выполнены стандартные при ИМ исследования, большинству (98,5) выполнена коронароангиография с последующим проведением чрескожного коронарного вмешательства на симптомзависимой артерии. В 1-е и на 1014-е сутки заболевания проводилось определение галектина- 3 иммуноферментным методом. Долгосрочный период наблюдения составил 12,41,1 мес. Конечными точками исследования послужили: смерть от всех причин, повторный ИМ, острое нарушение мозгового кровообращения или транзиторная ишемическая атака, повторные госпитализации по поводу прогрессирующей стенокардии или декомпенсации сердечной недостаточности. Проводилась также оценка приверженности к принимаемой терапии. Результаты. Через 1 год после выписки из стационара у 72 (34,4) пациентов прогноз был расценен как неблагоприятный. Наиболее частыми неблагоприятными событиями оказались повторные госпитализации по поводу нестабильной стенокардии и развитие повторного ИМ. Галектин-3, оцененный на 1014-е сутки ИМ, высокий балл по шкале SYNTAX и низкая приверженность пациента к лечению обладали высокой прогностической способностью для оценки риска развития неблагоприятного исхода в течение года после ИМ. Совокупность данных факторов позволила рассчитать вероятность риска развития неблагоприятного исхода в течение года после ИМ. Чувствительность полученной модели составила 71,4, специфичность 63,2, площадь под ROC- кривой составила 0,741 (р0,0001). Вывод. Галектин-3, оцененный на 1014-е сутки ИМ, способен оптимизировать подходы к рискометрии развития неблагоприятного исхода заболевания через год после ИМ .

La formación del profesorado en la escuela europea: el compromiso de la pedagogía y la enseñanza
Authors: Mulè Paolina
Published: April 2020

A la luz de una perspectiva crítico-hermenéutica, la autora presenta diversas líneas de investigación, posibilidades y métodos de investigación, para dar sentido y significado a la educación de un nuevo sujeto-persona, que hoy en día aparece cada vez más desorientado en un contexto social confuso y complejo, a través del análisis y construyendo un nuevo proceso de entrenamiento.
