Published: June 2023

The aim of this paper was to determine whether the addition of some ingredients to the same grape brandy after distillation affects the chemical composition of the volatile components by applying the gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Five samples were subjected to this study and a total of 57 compounds were identified. For all examined samples, esters were the most dominant class of compounds, but in different proportions. Ethyl decanoate was the most abundant compound in the sample L1 (grape brandy kept in an oak barrel) with the contribution of 29.1%, followed by ethyl octanoate (17.2%) and ethyl dodecanoate (14.8%). Sample L2 (grape brandy with summer truffles) was dominated by n– hexanol and ethyl lactate with similar contribution (18.1% and 17.8%, respectively). On the other hand, in the sample L3 (grape brandy with winter truffles) ethyl lactate was present with the contribution 44.8%. The dominant compounds in sample L4 (grape brandy with grains of coffee and dried grapes) were ethyl decanoate with contribution of 14.8% and phenyl ethyl alcohol (12.5%), while the two main volatiles of the sample L5 (grape brandy with young green walnuts) were diethyl succinate (22.9%) followed by ethyl lactate (21.9%). The results obtained in this study on volatile aromatic compounds in the analyzed grape brandies suggest that addition of some ingredients to the same grape brandy after distillation affects the chemical composition in both the number of aromatic compounds and their relative content.

Student success in learning is influenced by several factors, one of which is the method used by teachers in teaching. In fact, in learning teachers use the classical method, namely lectures, so that students are less active in learning and learning achievement is less satisfactory, therefore it is necessary to use other methods to improve learning achievement. This study is to determine whether the demonstration method can improve student achievement about compulsory prayer material in Class IA students of SD Negeri 025 Cikutra Kota Bandung.

"UM FRAGMENTO DA LIBIDO E O REPRESENTANTE DO MUNDO": elementos para uma antropologia filosófica a partir de Theodor Adorno
Authors: Araújo Esdras Bezerra Fernandes de
Published: June 2023

A intenção deste texto é abordar os aspectos de uma antropologia filosófica apreensível a partir da elaboração adorniana acerca da ideologia e da experiência sob o capitalismo tardio. Para desenvolver esse argumento, é necessário: (i) apresentar sumariamente a interpretação e o lugar da ideologia na composição teórica de Adorno; em seguida, (ii) indicar que o entendimento adorniano acerca de uma condição humana irrealizável, especialmente sob o capitalismo, é o verdadeiro continuum histórico, ao invés de um sujeito histórico e/ou político; e, assim, (iii) esboçar como a relação entre constituição de uma estrutura de personalidade e a própria condição humana, fruto da interseção entre teoria crítica e psicanálise, são fundamentais para uma crítica do capitalismo em prol de um novo mundo e uma nova humanidade. Para alcançar os objetivos indicados, foi realizada uma revisão teórica, cotejando os textos de Theodor Adorno com análises de comentadores contemporâneos, destacando as suas conclusões críticas acerca da noção de subjetividade na teoria social de seu tempo — especialmente psicologia e psicanálise —, imbricada com sua permanente crítica da ideologia como aspecto basilar de sua crítica ao capitalismo.

Authors: Barbosa Anna Kristyna Araújo da Silva
Published: June 2023

A partir da discussão adorniana acerca dos elementos basilares da modernidade, destacando a barbárie do processo de civilização, o presente texto discorre sobre o argumento de Amy Allen na defesa da necessária interseção entre teoria crítica e pensamento pós-colonial. A fim de cumprir       com  a proposta, a estrutura segue a ordem de (i) apresentar o pensamento de Theodor Adorno, com destaque à sua concepção da dialética do esclarecimento, servindo de ponto de partida para (ii) indicar as possibilidades       de comunicação com leituras pós-coloniais de crítica à modernidade que servem à síntese de renovação da teoria crítica de linha frankfurtiana intencionada por Amy Allen como tentativa de resposta às problemáticas dessa própria corrente de pensamento. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão de literatura, a partir da seleção de artigos e livros que abordam o pensamento de Theodor Adorno, a dialética do esclarecimento e a crítica pós-colonial à modernidade. A partir dessa revisão, foram identificadas as possibilidades de comunicação entre esses dois campos teóricos e como a autora propõe uma renovação da teoria crítica para lidar com as problemáticas atuais.

Subtractive Awareness
Authors: Bradbury Hilary M.
Published: June 2023

This paper is foremost about experiments in embodying a transformative narrative of a self that makes possible mutual collaborative practice with others. The focus is less on what we ought to think or do, but rather on subtracting, letting go, self-identities that are no longer fit for collaborative purpose. We refer to this as subtractive awareness by which we mean becoming aware of obstacles that inhibit creative action with others. In a time when dominant narratives call for endless growth, accumulation and addition, there is perhaps an overlooked value in subtraction practiced in support of collaboration. We align with writers such as Jason Hickel (2020), and practitioners in the degrowth movement to argue that in an era of perpetual expansion, “less is more.”

The In Dialogue piece in this issue, brings together Megan Seneque Aggie Kalungu-Banda, Martin Kalungu-Banda and Sharon Munyaka, to explore how different knowledge systems, including science, can be brought into conversation in an effort to democratize knowledge and support transformative societal change. The vehicle for this exploration is the philosophy and practice of Ubuntu, and how this is being brought to life across the African continent in the context of the Ubuntu.Lab and the Ubuntu Institute. The conversants delve into what it might mean, and what it looks like in practice, to have a distinct (African) identity that lies within the context of local cultural and spiritual traditions and indigenous knowledges, while also actively participating in and contributing to the global community and movement of the Presencing Institute. This exploration reveals both the complexities and the generative potential of weaving different wisdom traditions and knowledge systems, in the interests of creating a future for the continent from which the rest of the world might learn.

Mass Termination of Employmentin start-up companies whose layoff process is considered to have suddenly become a hot topic of conversation and has created its own problems in society. This, of course, will affect the reputation of start-up companies to diminish in society. Generation Z has different expectations, preferences, and views when it comes to work, and this can be a challenge for start-up companies that are making mass layoffs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the intention to apply for jobs in start-up companies after mass layoffs and start-up company strategies for building a reputation after mass layoffs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by analyzing various literature from scientific journals, related books and websites so that they can provide an explanation of the formulation of the problem under study. The results of the study show that the factors that influence the intention to apply for jobs in start-up companies after mass layoffs include: a). employees attend and work in the office without being bound by time; b). greater learning opportunities provided to its employees; c) Freedom to express ideas; d) there is no standard rule regarding employee appearance; e) the office atmosphere is designed with comfort and a warm home feel. The start-up company's strategy in building a reputation after a mass layoff provides assistance programs to former employees who have been laid off, such as assisting in making attractive and appropriate CVs. In addition, there is also a program that helps recommend former employees to other parties in need. With this research, it is hoped that it can help start-up companies that have done mass layoffs to improve their reputation and increase the company's attractiveness as an attractive workplace for prospective employees.

This article presents an educational design research study that explores the effectiveness of incorporating a deductive approach into consciousness raising activities in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms for non-English major students. The research aims to enhance students' grammatical awareness and accuracy through a deductive instructional strategy, using translation practices and focusing on conscious rule-based learning. Adopting an educational design research framework, the study combines theory-driven design principles with empirical research to develop and evaluate a deductive consciousness raising intervention. The research methodology involves the implementation of instructional intervention to a group of students and the collection of qualitative and quantitative data to assess its impact on students' grammatical competence and their perceptions of the learning experience. Using t-test statistical calculation, it was found that the intervention improved the students’ grammar mastery but not the response speed. The questionnaire result showed that students reacted positively to the intervention and their motivation increased. Findings from the study support the previous research which found that conscious raising is effective to improve students’ learning mastery. This also provides insights that integrating deductive approaches into consciousness raising activities work for grammar teaching if the grammar items are selected appropriately. This also shows that the result of conscious knowledge is not converted automatically into subconscious knowledge. It may need time to practice again and again to make it automatic. As this research is an educational design research, the hypothesis about the efficacy of this designed procedure is suggested to be proved in experimental research. More research to uncover the acquirability and learnability of English grammar features are also recommended to be studies further.

Introduction: Echocardiography is a reliable and simple method of hemodynamic monitoring that can be used on every IMA patient. Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE), Right Ventricular Fractional Aera Changes (RV FAC), and Pulses Tissue Doppler S' Wave (PTD S') are the three main parameters of ventricular electrocardiography. The purpose of this study is to understand the reliability of the right ventricle function prognostic indicators TAPSE, PTD S', and RV FAC with regard to the MACE at 30 days following the occurrence of the AMI in RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan

Method: This study is an ambispective observational analytic study with sampling carried out at one time (cross-sectional study) on 88 AMI patients at the HAM Hospital who were treated from March 2022 to June 2022 and performed echocardiography in the first 24 hours and measured TAPSE, PTD S' and RV FAC. And followed for 30 days to see the MACE in patients. Bivariate test was conducted to assess the correlation between variables. To determine which independent variables were more effective at predicting MACE, a multivariate logistic regression test was then run. The effectiveness of the independent factors in predicting MACE was also assessed using ROC analysis.

Results: The total subjects were 88 AMI patients consisting of 39 (44.3%) patients who experienced MACE and 49 (55.6%) patients who didn’t. The prognostic values of TAPSE, PTDS' and RV FAC on MACE at 30 days were related by bivariate analysis with P Value 0.001 but only PTD S’ showed logistic regression results that were consistent with P Value < 0.001. Based on ROC analysis obtained by PTD S' can predict MACE with AUC = 0.894

Conclusion: Echocardiographic measurement PTD S’ has a good prognostic value to predict MACE within 30 days in AMI patients.

University Students’ Perspectives on Gamification in Vocabulary Learning: A Literature Review
Authors: Zainal Nurzahirah
Published: June 2023

Enriching vocabulary among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners, especially university students; plays a vital role in enhancing their mastery of the English language holistically. Nevertheless, some challenges have been addressed from the vocabulary learning practices in tertiary academic institutions, particularly concerning the de-emphasis of vocabulary learning rather than other language skills, vocabulary learning requires full effort and commitment, and lack of motivation among university students to increase their vocabulary knowledge. Hence, gamification in vocabulary learning has been designated as one of the preferable vocabulary learning strategies used in teaching and learning in this current era. There are several positive and negative perspectives on gamification in vocabulary learning among university students which should be considered to improve the quality of gamified vocabulary learning. This paper aims to review the literature relevant to vocabulary and vocabulary learning strategies, challenges related to vocabulary learning, the use of gamification in vocabulary learning, and university students’ perspectives on gamification in vocabulary learning. From the discussion, it is discovered that university students perceive gamification in vocabulary learning positively in terms of creating an interesting and richer learning environment, promoting healthy competition, and increasing their motivation to learn. However, some of them have difficulties in adapting to gamified vocabulary learning due to poor Internet connection and lack of digital literacy. Hence, this study is significant to highlight the positive and negative perspectives towards gamification in vocabulary learning to strive for a better future of gamified vocabulary learning in universities.

Effect of short-term Pilates exercises on bone mineral density and physical performance in older women
Authors: Sevilay Bayram Kadriye , Şahin Gülşah , Zateri Coşkun , Coşkun Ali
Published: June 2023

Objective: Although high-stress exercises on the bone have been emphasized in previous research on BMD, high intensity exercises may increase the risk of injury in inexperienced older women. Also, these exercises are not recommended due to risk of injury or other problems in fragile older adults. Due to the fact that it is one of the most preferred methods by postmenopausal women, our study focused on the effects of the Pilates method on bone mineral density. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short-term Pilates exercise on bone mineral density and physical performance in older women.

Methods: Twenty-three older women were voluntarily involved in this research (Pilates group, n=13, and control group, n=10). The Pilates group participated in Pilates exercise for 12 weeks, two days per week. Bone mineral density and physical performance were evaluated. The prospective case-control, pre- and post-test study was conducted at the Çanakkale University Hospital. All measurements were repeated following three-months. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups, and the Wilcoxon test was used to assess differences between pre- and post-exercise measurements for each group.

Results: After three-months, there was an increase in physical performance scores in the Pilates group (p=0.013). Although there was an improvement in bone mineral density of older women in the Pilates group, it was not statistically significant (p>0.05).

Conclusion: It is possible to say that "short-term Pilates exercise does not produce a resistance training effect on bone mineral density of postmenopausal women". However, Pilates is effective for improving physical performance in older women.

Introducción: La cistouretrografía miccional (CUGM) desde 1903 y a la actualidad continúa siendo el método diagnóstico inicial para muchas enfermedades del sistema urinario. Objetivo: Establecer la prevalencia de las anomalías del tracto urinario detectadas mediante UCGM en niños atendidos en el Hospital Metropolitano - Quito 2021. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de prevalencia de corte transversal, incluyendo pacientes desde los 3 meses hasta los 17 años de edad, con anomalías renales y del tracto urinario, se revisó el sistema RIS y PACS del hospital desde Enero a Diciembre del 2021, valorando edad, sexo, antecedentes de enfermedades renales, del tracto urinario y motivo de consulta. Resultados: Se analizaron 157 pacientes sometidos a UCGM, con edades entre 3 meses y 17 años, 93 mujeres correspondientes al 59.23% y 64 hombres que representan el 40.76% del total. De las mujeres el 76.34% y 71,87% de los hombres tuvieron estudios normales, mientras que el 23. 66 % y 28.13% fueron patológicos, para cada grupo respectivamente, en los dos grupos el RVU fue el más prevalente coincidiendo con los reportes a nivel mundial. Conclusión: La UCGM se debe realizar luego de un episodio de ITU que requiera hospitalización y con un ultrasonido de screening previo, la UCGM es el estudio de elección para la valoración de la anatomía y contribuye al diagnóstico de la patología del tracto urinario, siendo un procedimiento rápido, seguro y asequible.

Introducción: Desde su creación, el INDOT ha fortalecido la construcción del Sistema Nacional Integrado de Donación y Trasplantes, donde la contribución de todas las instituciones y actores que lo integran se ha constituido en un aporte muy valioso para cumplir con la misión de proveer de órganos, tejidos y células a la población ecuatoriana que dependen de un trasplante para vivir. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, observacional, descriptivo, con diseño de cohorte transversal retrospectivo, con el objetivo de conocer la producción de la actividad trasplantológica en el año 2022. Para el manejo, la presentación y el análisis de los datos se utilizaron el programa Excel perteneciente al paquete de Microsoft Office y Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). El análisis se realizó con base en estadística descriptiva. Resultado: En el Ecuador, durante el año 2022, se realizaron quinientos noventa y siete (N:597) trasplantes de órganos, tejidos y células, de los cuales ciento noventa y dos (N:192) fueron trasplantes de órganos, que equivale al 32,16%, trescientos treinta y ocho (N:338) trasplantes de tejido corneal, que equivale al 56,62%; y, sesenta y siete (N:67) de progenitores hematopoyéticos, que equivale al 11,22%. Conclusiones: La actividad trasplantológica en el Ecuador ha experimentado un importante incremento en el número de trasplantes realizados durante los últimos años. Desde el 2007 al 2022 se han llevado a cabo un total de 7.373 trasplantes, siendo el año 2018 el de mayor producción con un total de 717 trasplantes. Durante el año 2022, se realizaron un total de 597 trasplantes de órganos, tejidos y células, lo que permitió subir la tasa de donación por millón de habitantes a 5,30. Aunque la pandemia ha sido un obstáculo importante para la actividad trasplantológica en el Ecuador, los esfuerzos realizados para adaptarse a la nueva situación han permitido mantener la producción y mejorar la tasa de donación.

Se define hiperparatiroidismo primario normocalcémico por las concentraciones elevadas de Paratohormona (PTH), calcio sérico normal y ausencia de otras causas de elevación de la PTH, su fisiopatología se debe a una resistencia tisular al efecto de la PTH. El objetivo es presentar una patología infradiagnosticada acerca del diagnóstico y tratamiento. Hombre de 25 años, estudiante universitario, consumo de alcohol regular, consumo de cigarrillo tres al día desde hace 5 años, abuela paterna con artritis reumatoidea, abuela materna con hipertensión arterial, con cuadro de tres años de evolución de ingresos por urgencias por cálculos urinarios, asociado a dolor en cadera, rodilla y cuello de pie derechos, recibió manejo con analgésicos sin mejoría, por hallazgos radiográficos, estudiaron trastorno de la PTH. En cuanto a la analítica, concentraciones elevadas de la PTH, niveles de calcio normales, fósforo sérico bajo, aumento en la concentración de la 1,25-dixidroxi vitamina D e hipercalciuria. Imágenes: ecografía normal, gammagrafía: normal, tomografía axial computarizada normal. resonancia magnética normal, tomografía por emisión de positrones normal. El estudio genético descarto neoplasia endocrina múltiple. Densitometría ósea, reportó osteopenia, requirió abordaje quirúrgico exploratorio: localizaron el adenoma primario en lóbulo paratiroideo izquierdo, realizaron resección, estudio anatomopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico. Posteriormente recibió suplementación con vitamina D por 6 meses. Paciente presentó una adecuada evolución, continúa en seguimiento periódico por endocrinología. El hiperparatiroidismo primario actualmente es una endocrinopatía común, que requiere atención oportuna, porque puede dejar secuelas graves en el organismo u ocasionar la muerte.

La miomatosis uterina es considerada como la tumoración benigna más frecuente en la mujer. Se ha estimado que un 70% a 80% de las mujeres presentarán alguna forma de miomatosis uterina durante toda su vida. El tamaño y localización de los miomas uterinos difieren de acuerdo con cada paciente, sin embargo, el mioma cervical representa únicamente el 5% de todas sus distintas localizaciones. Su presentación clínica varía frente a un mioma localizado en el útero propiamente dicho y es sumamente infrecuente que este tipo de miomas sobrepasen tamaños superiores a 10 cm. El estudio diagnóstico de la miomatosis uterina consiste en la ultrasonografía y la necesidad de realizar exámenes de imagen complementarios dependerá de la calidad de la ecografía. La resonancia magnética, es el mejor estudio para realizar ante una ecografía insatisfactoria. Esta, describe información más específica y proporciona información clave para una preparación prequirúrgica adecuada. La estrategia terapéutica viene determinada por la clínica, localización, tamaño y número de miomas. Es la indicación más frecuente de histerectomía, sin embargo, existen alternativas no curativas como la miomectomía, tratamiento médico a base de análogos de GnRh e incluso radio-intervencionismo que han demostrado buenos resultados en el pronóstico y calidad de vida de estas pacientes.

Copper deficiency neuropathy: deficient reporting or very rare?

Dietary copper is mainly found in grains, vegetables, fish and meat. Copper deficiency occurs as a result of insufficient intake and malabsorption syndromes (e.g. after bariatric surgery or in gluten enteropathies), and may also be facilitated by alcoholism. Copper deficiency can lead to cytopenia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, skin depigmentation, etc. In contrast, the possible sensorimotor consequences of copper deficiency are often misunderstood and underestimated in clinical practice because of its rarer occurrence in comparison to, for instance, vitamin B12 deficiency.

Gait disturbances are the cardinal feature, along with biochemical evidence of hypocupremia and hypoceruloplasminemia. Additional investigations, such as imaging and electrophysiological studies, are not always conclusive for the diagnosis.

If the copper deficiency is adequately treated by means of supplementation of copper sulfate and vitamin E, the clinical symptoms are often reversible. The prognosis is primarily influenced by interindividual differences and the timelapse between onset and diagnosis. Three case studies provide the necessary tools to a faster diagnosis of copper deficiency neuropathy.
