Hermenêutica e o "novo" transcendentalismo
Authors: Lindenmeyer Luciane Luisa
Published: March 2023

Este artigo trata da relação entre hermenêutica e transcendentalismo. Em específico, são considerados elementos conceituais de dois hermeneutas, Heidegger e Gadamer, bem como a noção de filosofia transcendental elaborada por Husserl. É claro que a questão do transcendentalismo é anterior ao que hoje nós conhecemos por tradição fenomenológica-hermenêutica, na qual estão inseridos os autores mencionados. A proposta aqui é justamente traçar as correspondências filosóficas entre as hermenêuticas da facticidade heideggeriana e filosófica gadameriana e o novo modelo de transcendentalismo constituinte da fenomenologia husserliana. Considero, portanto, as críticas de Husserl a Descartes e a Kant, filósofos que são associados à filosofia transcendental moderna e com os quais Husserl esteve em confronto teórico. Mesmo que a polêmica virada transcendental de Husserl tenha sido muito criticada, sua fenomenologia transcendental é fundada como uma orientação epistemológica que influenciará as teorias da interpretação de seus sucessores supracitados, na medida em que coloca em questão a constituição de “objetividades” pela perspectiva da significação.

Authors: Testa Edimarcio
Published: March 2023

No âmbito do pensamento hermenêutico de Hans-Georg Gadamer, a atividade do intérprete define-se como práxis hermenêutica, uma vez que seu modelo é a phronesis aristotélica da Ética Nicomaqueia. Mostro, mediante descrição, que a práxis hermenêutica incorpora da phronesis os elementos da aplicação do universal ao particular e o saber ético, a partir dos quais se pode pensar a questão da responsabilidade ética.

Published: March 2023

The general state of entrepreneurship reveals that despite the efforts of the South African government to stimulate entrepreneurship through a policy framework, many SMMEs remain unsustainable. SMMEs in the country continue to experience a high failure rate of almost 70% to 80% within the first 5 years of operation. Policymaker’s have attempted to advance local economic development through various developmental models, as key economic development drivers, without success. Studies reveal that there is a misalignment in the various developmental instruments aimed at the development of the SMME sector and its reality. This study sought to explore challenges faced by SMMEs within the ocean economy in KZN province. This study was conducted with SMMEs in the ocean economy in the KZN province. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 SMMEs participating in the ocean economy in the KZN province. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The generated data from the research study showed that entrepreneurs are faced with various challenges which influence the organisation’s capacity to operate appropriately and sustainably. Understanding key challenges faced by entrepreneurs in the ocean economy in the province can help policymakers and entrepreneurs to navigate sustainable approaches to the sector’s development.

Nass-Olgu Diyalektiği Bağlamında Tedrîcîlik ve Tencîm
Authors: Şaraldı Mustafa Yücel
Published: March 2023

Kur’an’ın tencîmî olarak inzâl edilmesi; onun yirmi üç yıllık zaman diliminde âyetlerini Hz. Peygamber’e peyderpey indirmiş olmasını ifade eden bir anlayıştır. Kur’an, Cahiliye toplumunun inanç-ibadet algısını ve ahlâki değerlerini dikkate almıştır. Vahyin, âyetleri bu eksende tencîmi olarak indirmesi ile toplumun da Kur’an’ın amacı doğrultusunda tevhîdî bir ahlâk toplumuna dönüştürülmesine tedrîcîlik denir. Tedrîcîlik, birey ve toplum hayatının sosyal dokusunu değiştirmede aşamalılık ilkesidir. Biz bu makalemizde iki amaç hedefledik. Birincisi tencîm ve tedrîc kavramlarının ifade ettiği farklı anlama temas etmek olacaktır. İkincisi ise, diyalektik bir ilişki çerçevesinde, vahiy döneminde Kur’an’ın tencîmî bir yöntemle kendi teşekkülünü oluştururken diğer yandan da toplumu şekillendirmesine (teşkil) değinmek olacaktır. Bu diyalektik ilişki sonucu İslâm toplumunun oluşum aşamalarında tedrîcîliğin, Kur’an’ın temel amaçlarına ulaşmada bir yönlendirme/metod olduğu aşikardır. Bu metoda göre de her çağda toplumların kendi dinamiklerine vahyin ictihâdî bir dinamizmle cevap üretmesi mümkündür. Nass-olgu diyalektiği bağlamında tedrîcîlik ilkesi bize bazı ipuçları vermektedir. Bu yöndeki ictihâdî dinamizm bizim makalemizin esasını oluşturmaktadır.

Published: March 2023

This study uses the Markov Decision Model (MDP) to implement battery degradation and optimize battery use in Photovoltaic and the battery system model created. The battery optimization scheme for home loads uses the application of solar energy to optimally measure photovoltaic and battery capacity against each other. The different qualities of the standard used in this study are described starting from system characteristics and charge settings to an analysis of MDP and battery degeneration. Various systems undergo a list of analyses to implement awareness reasoning although developing battery volume and photovoltaic for the current system. The parametric span of cosmic and battery central tariff, the tariff of power worn taken away the framework, tariff of battery degeneration, time of year, photovoltaic generator size, battery size, and Health Status (SoH) of batteries were carried out to determine the optimal volume estimate and analyze the trade-offs essential in a mix scheme. This is then used to treasure trove the minimum amount of fee of the scheme with photovoltaic and battery application.

This study support decision of the essential sizing deliberation for photovoltaic and battery-managed home loads linked to the services grid. Insightful that the battery can be used more destructively, also it can be formed lower and run at a greater C speed. This study analyzes actual fog computing research tools and storage composition algorithms for fog computing and develops a fog computing monitoring framework to provide data for fog computing storage composition algorithms. The framework proposed in this study provides granular container virtual hardware resource information and black box monitoring of service layer information associated with microservices. Framework usefulness on Raspberry Pis and CPU overhead of framework tested.

The results of this study present the framework proposed could be used on single-chip microcomputers with relatively inadequate computational performance. In addition, a minimal effect on the battery degeneration system on the MDP decision due to the low system C-rate limit for the battery and interesting behavior of total fee and demand is also found. For future research, testing different maximum C levels should be considered to determine the photovoltaic size and battery system affected. Various battery optimization systems can be proved to check the benefit and disbenefits in the microgrid system case study. Lastly, collecting a scheme for actual-time reproduction to know how nice the operation is performing is the next stage of implementing MDP for battery management and system development.
IMPACT OF EMBEDDED CLS ON EYE TRACKING REPLICATION

Published: March 2023

Using different programming languages when software advancement is a familiar method in current software advancement. Nevertheless, using various languages that can hinder developer capacity is not widely known. This research simulated an unplanned controlled study examining the adoption of various languages in the situation of a directory programming task. Participants in this study were given programming tasks written in Java and one of three SQL-like embedded languages.  Simple “SQL” over authority, “Java” program only, and a more Java-like hybrid embedded language. Furthermore, to transcribe the responses to the online quest and the participators' “task” solutions, the participators' eye movements were also recorded with an eye tracker.

 “Eye Tracker” or in this study call as “Eye-Trc” is the methodology of the study of software development that has developed nowadays and grants more in-depth info about how developers accomplish programming tasks. This Eye-Trc method is used as a data collection method in this study. Eye-Trc data was get by thirty-one participators (university background and Industrial Background) for different programming tasks. To analyze the impact of inter-group inconstant and professional experience and in-group “task” variables on the dependent variable Time in completion, this study used a mixed model ANOVA. The outcome of this study indicates that an important impact on productivity was not found, this is different from the initial research because of the language used.

However, the same effect was found from the participators' expertise in programming activity indicating that more competent programmers were easy to full fill “polyglot programming tasks” more efficiently. In addition, it was raised that participators viewed the specimen code with the same proportion (time) for bringing “task” reckless of skills or language alternative provided. dominant-stage exploration management also remains mostly consistent over the experiences or language alternatives. Overall, it can be concluded that the programming stage of the linguist doesn’t have an important impact. The top-stage strategies that participators used came to be identical reckless of the language alternative presented to them. As a suggestion for future research, the impact of various characteristics of polyglot programming languages should be studied in depth for the conclusions reached to remain correct across various polyglot programming contexts.
Technical Note: The impact of industrial activity on the amount of atmospheric O2
Authors: Battle Mark O. , Raynor Raine , Kesler Stephen , Keeling Ralph
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Concurrent measurements of atmospheric O2 and CO2 amount fractions have been used for decades now to estimate ﬂuxes of carbon to and from the oceans and the land biosphere. The equations used in these estimates explicitly include fossil fuel combustion but largely ignore ﬂuxes of O2 associated with the reﬁning of metals and other industrially important elements. Here, we quantify the O2 ﬂuxes associated with the processing of iron, aluminum and copper. We also consider the potential impact of sulfur. We ﬁnd that inclusion of the ﬂuxes due to metals leads to an increased estimate of ocean carbon uptake in the years 2000–2010 of  Pg a-1 with a corresponding decrease in estimated land uptake. A rough estimate of sulfur chemistry during fossil fuel combustion also increases ocean uptake but by a much smaller amount. These corrections are small compared to existing estimates of the ﬂuxes and their uncertainties ((2.27 ± 0.60) and (1.05 ± 0.84) Pg a-1 for ocean and land respectively (Keeling and Manning, 2014)) but should be employed in future analyses.

Abstract. Studying the origin of life and its prevalence in the universe offers a perspective that compels us to look after our irreplaceable home in the cosmos. An entrenched conception of humans as distinct from Nature prevents us from seeing and embracing our place in space and time, to our catastrophic detriment. We call on our colleagues to harness this unique perspective to connect their research with broader problems facing humanity, while leveraging the trust, credibility, and privilege of the scientific enterprise.
Atmospheric boundary layer structure over the Arctic Ocean during MOSAiC

Published: March 2023

Abstract. The important roles of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over the Arctic Ocean in the Arctic climate system have been recognized, but the atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH), as a fundamental variable to characterize the vertical structure of ABL, has rarely been investigated. Analyzing a year-round radiosonde dataset during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), we suggest the optimal critical value of 0.15 of bulk Richardson number to derive ABLH. Based on this algorithm, the hourly ABLH values are derived to analyze the characteristics and variability of ABLH over the Arctic Ocean. The results reveal that the annual cycle is clearly characterized by a distinct peak in May and an abrupt decrease in the following July and August, with a second minimum in December and January. The annual ABLH variation is primarily controlled by the evolution of ABL thermal structure. The temperature inversions in the winter and summer are intensified by seasonal radiative cooling and surface melting, respectively, leading to the low ABLH. The near-surface conditions can also play a significant role in ABLH variation, with turbulent parameters (e.g., friction velocity and turbulent dissipation rate) well correlated with the ABL development. In addition, the MOSAiC ABLH is more suppressed than the ABLH during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) experiment in the summer, which indicates that there is large variability in the Arctic ABL structure during summer melting season.
Sequential spatiotemporal distribution of PM2.5, SO2 and Ozone in China from 2015 to 2020
Authors: Chi Yufeng , Zhan Yu , Wang Kai , Ye Hong
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Currently, in the modeling of various atmospheric pollutants, the simulation of independent trace gases (SO2 and O3) is constrained by the insufficient resolution of key remote sensing products, resulting in insufficient simulation reliability. In this study, spatial sampling and parameter convolution are combined to optimize LightGBM by utilizing ground observations, remote sensing products, meteorological data, assistance data, and random ID. Through the above techniques and an sequentialsimulation of air pollutants, we produce seamless daily 1-km-resolution products of PM2.5, SO2 and O3 for most parts of China from 2015 to 2020. Through random sampling, random site sampling, area-specific validation, comparisons of different models, and a cross-sectional comparison of different studies, we verified that our simulations of the spatial distribution of multiple atmospheric pollutants are reliable and effective. The CV of the random sample yielded an R2 of 0.88 and an RMSE of 9.91 µg/m3 for PM2.5, an R2 of 0.89 and an RMSE of 4.62 µg/m3 for SO2, and an R2 of 0.91 and an RMSE of 6.88 µg/m3 for O3. Combined with the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) approach, the roles of different parameters in the simulation process were clarified, and the positive role of parameter convolution was confirmed. Our dataset was used to assess the changes in the Air Pollution Index (API) in China before and after the outbreak of COVID-19, and the results indicate that these changes were relatively small huge, suggesting that the epidemic control measures in 2020 were effective. The study demonstrates that the multipollutant datasets produced with the proposed models are of great value for long-term, large-scale, and regional-scale air pollution monitoring and prediction, as well as population health evaluation.

Cyclic overlay model of p–y curves for laterally loaded monopiles in cohesionless soil
Authors: Song Junnan , Achmus Martin
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The bearing behaviour of large-diameter monopile foundations for offshore
wind turbines under lateral cyclic loads in cohesionless soil is an issue of
ongoing research. In practice, mostly the p–y approach is applied in the
design of monopiles. Recently, modifications of the original p–y approach
for monotonic loading stated in the API regulations have been proposed to
account for the special bearing behaviour of large-diameter piles with small
length-to-diameter ratios. However, cyclic loading for horizontally loaded
piles predominates the serviceability of the offshore wind converters, and
the actual number of load cycles cannot be considered by the cyclic p–y
approach of the API regulations. This research therefore focuses on the
effects of cyclic loading on the p–y curves along the pile shaft and aims
to develop a cyclic overlay model to determine the cyclic p–y curves valid
for a lateral load with a given number of load cycles. A stiffness
degradation method (SDM) is applied in a three-dimensional finite element
model to determine the effect of the cyclic loading by degrading the secant
soil stiffness according to the magnitude of cyclic loading and number of
load cycles based on the results of cyclic triaxial tests. Thereby, the
numerical simulation results are used to develop a cyclic overlay model,
i.e. an analytical approach to adapt the monotonic (or static) p–y curve to
the number of load cycles. The new model is applied to a reference system
and compared to the API approach for cyclic loads.

The essence of the police in terms of public order and security competencies
Authors: Erhan Ianuş
Published: March 2023

The police is the public authority that implements state policies in the areas of competence entrusted to it, provides state security services, having the primary mission of protecting people, respecting their rights and freedoms, enforcing the law, controlling and preventing crime, maintaining and ensuring public order. The activity of the police in a state governed by the rule of law, based on the rule of law, is extremely important. The police in the Republic of Moldova respects the model of organization and functioning valid for most police structures in the world. Respectively, it has approximately the same competencies, it is governed by the same principles and operating rules applicable in a state governed by the rule of law with a democratic regime. Because the police represent the state in the most visible way, trust in the police is equivalent to trust in the state. The police, which is inefficient, illegitimate or unjust in protecting the public against crime and ensuring public order, will lose the trust of the latter. On the other hand, the police will increase the legitimacy of the state if it demonstrates in its daily activity sensitivity to the needs and expectations of the society and uses the authority of the state in the interest of the citizens.
Legal report of procedural contraventional law
Authors: Creţu Adrian
Published: March 2023

In the process and the aspiration to assert itself as a distinct branch of the law, the contraventional procedural law seeks to demonstrate that the legal relationship it regulates is a separate one, completely different from that of the contraventional law. Therefore, this article has as its main objective of study, the justification of the specificity of the legal report which makes it possible for the procedural contraventional law to be permanently separated from the criminal procedural law, branches of the law which differ according to a number of characteristics. Not with standing the fact that the procedure for examining contraventions is required to be more simplified, taking into account the low seriousness of the offense, however, in a country where the abuse of office is at home and established officers see every citizen as an offender or possibly a criminal, legislative measures that would closely monitor their actions cannot be effective without imposing an infringement procedure under separate rules. Some circumstances specific to the geographical area in which we live, the wrong perception on behalf of public officials on the procedure for documenting contraventions, the traditions and the specificity of the post-socialist society, require that a distinct branch of law to be regulated - an procedual contraventional law. The description of the legal report around which this branch of law operates is the subject of this work.

Authors: Hoai Nguyen Thi Thu , Son Pham Nguyen
Published: March 2023

Objective: To investigate left ventricular function by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Subject and method: Patients who were diagnosed with OSA based on the results of full polysomnography and had apnea- hypopnea index values > 5 events/hour of sleep were included in the study. All patient underwent polysomnography recording. Comprehensive 2-dimensional echocardiography were performed to all subjects according to American Society of Echocardiography guidelines [5], followed by real-time 3D echocardiography. Result: From June 2021 to June 2022, there were 46 OSA patients were included in the study. Mean age of OSA patients 51.3 ± 11.7 years. Men 63% (29/46), women 37% (15/46). The apnea-hypopnea index, percentage of total sleep time with an oxygen saturation level < 90%, arousal index increased in OSA patients. E/E’ increased (12.6 ± 4.3), GLS mildly reduced (-16.5 ± 3.8%) while other echocardiographic parameters were in normal range. Results of ANOVA showed an increase in the following LA parameters on 3D echocardiography according to the levels of OSA severity: LV mass index, 3D maximum LA volume, 3D maximum LA volume index, E/E’ were significantly higher in the severe OSA group compared with the moderate OSA and the mild OSA (p<0.05 for all). There was a decrease in the E’ velocity and global longitudinal strain (GLS) (p<0.05 for all). Conclusion: In patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the severity of OSA was associated with lower E′ velocity, greater E/E′ ratio, larger 3D LV volume, greater LV mass index, and poorer left ventricular global longitudinal strain.
Right ventricular function assessment by 3D echocardiography and 2D speckle-tracking imaging in acute pulmonary embolism
Authors: Hoai Nguyen Thi Thu , Son Pham Nguyen
Published: March 2023

Objective: To assess changes in right ventricular (RV) function parameters determined by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography and two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with acute pulmonary embolism without systemic hypotension, as compare to a control population. Subject and method: Fifty-seven intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism patients were prospectively studied at the onset of the acute episode and after median follow-up periods of 30 days. A control group of age-and sex-matched subjects were selected. All patients and the controls underwent 2D and 3D transthoracic echocardiography within 24 hours of pulmonary embolism diagnosis and one month after hospital discharge. Tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (s’), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV diameter, RV fractional area change (FAC), 3D RV ejection fraction (EF), 2D RV global strain and RV free wall strain were measured. Result: From Dec. 2019 to March 2022, fifty-seven patients with acute intermediate-high risk of early mortality PE were included. Mean age was 56 ± 14 years. Men accounted for 47.4% (27/57). Control group consisted of 34 subjects. Pulmonary embolism patients initially had RV dysfunction as assessed by 2D and 3D parameters: RV diameter: 29.3 ± 4.6mm; TAPSE: 14.6 (9.1-15.7) mm; FAC: 31.5 (30.5-39.9)%; 3DRVEFL 31.9 ± 7.7%; RVGS: -9.8 ± 3%, RVFWS: -8.9 ± 3.3%. At 30-day follow-up: s’, TAPSE, RV diameter, RV FAC were restored compared to the control group, systolic pulmonary artery pressures decreased significantly, right atrial pressure, also decreased significantly at follow-up, contrary to 3DRVEF and RV 2D global strain and free wall strain. Conclusion: After 1 month of anticoagulant therapy in patients with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism, RV function has not fully recovered as assessed by 3D RVEF and 2D strain imaging, while the traditional echocardiographic assessment could not detect this incomplete recovery. Further studies are needed to assess the prognostic role and implications of this residual 3DRVEF and 2D RV strain impairment after PE.

Published: March 2023

Objective: To assess the safety and the efficacy of intravenous infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSC) in subacute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct. Subject and method: A prospective, open-label, non-randomized was performed in patients with MCA infarct, within 7-40 days from onset. Sixty-three patients, satisfying the inclusion criteria, were enrolled, and allocated into the IV-BMSC group (n = 32) or into control group (n = 31). Main follow-ups were at 6 months and 1 year after therapy. Adverse events were noted to conclude safety outcome. The primary efficacy outcomes were proportions of patients achieving a score of 0 to 2 on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The secondary efficacy outcomes were evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel index (BI), Brunnstrom stages of hand (BRS-H), and infarct volume on head MRI. Result: There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of noted adverse events. There were no significant differences between the two groups on the proportions of the mRS 0-2 at both 6-month and 1-year follow-up (3.2% vs 6.9% with p=0.6, and 6.9 vs 9.7 with p=1.0, respectively).

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) aims to harmonise rules and regulations across many overlapping free trade agreements in the region in order to attract new members. It’s aims to strengthen Asean's relations with Australia, China, Japan, and New Zealand and made trade agreement's goal to create a contemporary, comprehensive, high-quality, and mutually advantageous economic cooperation that will help expand regional trade and investment while also contributing to the region's global economic growth and development. It does, however, confront a number of obstacles. Many people believe that the RCEP will be another low-quality regional trade agreement due to the inclusion of a flexibility concept and the 'ASEAN Way' of decision-making. The RCEP, on the other hand, gives all ASEAN members the opportunity to help establish the agenda for a regional agreement. As a result, despite its difficulties, ASEAN must make an effort to achieve an attractive RCEP in comparison to other regional agreements.

Previous studies, conducted in different countries (e.g. Australia, Canada, India, Republic of Ireland, USA, UK), have shown that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use nonspeech oral motor exercises (NSOMEs) to treat speech sound disorders (SSDs), bringing attention to the substantial debate regarding the clinical effectiveness of NSOMEs. The aim of the present study was to investigate and characterize the use of NSOMEs by Portuguese SLPs in the intervention of SSDs, and to analyze the evidence that supports it. To do so, SLPs who provide therapy to children with SSDs were invited to complete an online questionnaire, based on a previous survey conducted in India by Thomas and Kaipa (2015). A total of 184 participants responded to the survey; 93.5% reported knowing about NSOMEs, 78.5% used NSOMEs in their intervention for SSDs, and 80.2% considered them effective in treating SSDs (89% indicated that their knowledge about NSOMEs was acquired through graduate and post-graduate courses; 98.5% reported that they used NSOMEs to improve the motor function of the articulators). This study offers an overview of Portuguese speech-language pathologists’ reported use of NSOMEs as part of the intervention of speech sound disorders in children. Many of the participants in this study reported that they did use NSOMEs in SSD treatments, regardless of the lack of evidence to support their use in this context. Furthermore, the results show that the percentage of SLPs in Portugal using NSOMEs is similar to those found in the USA, UK, Canada, and India, but different from those in Australia and Ireland.

Explicar los alcances del enfoque cualitativo de investigación social en salud a estudiantes de carreras de Ciencias de la Salud resulta un desafío en la entrega de la perspectiva antropológica y social en la formación profesional. Lo anterior debido a que estos estudiantes están acostumbrados a operar en las dicotomías naturaleza/cultura y ciencia/creencia. Como docentes, implica enseñarles a observar más allá de dichas dicotomías. También exige superar la limitada comprensión que puede haber sobre lo que es la aproximación cualitativa en investigación y lo que les puede ofrecer. Por ello, el propósito del estudio es reflexionar sobre los alcances que tienen estos desafíos en el aula, recurriendo a casos de ejercicios de diseños de investigación cualitativa en la carrera de Fonoaudiología de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Chile. Concluimos que un acercamiento temprano a metodologías cualitativas permite a estudiantes de pregrado desarrollar una visión crítica hacia las dicotomías reduccionistas respecto de la producción y validación de conocimientos. Además, promueve entender la dimensión social de la salud como un fenómeno individual y colectivo. También favorece concebir a la Medicina como un campo de trabajo transdisciplinar.

Published: March 2023

Estudios previos han caracterizado la disfagia en pacientes críticos hospitalizados que requieren intubación y ventilación mecánica invasiva. A raíz de la pandemia COVID-19 es necesario conocer las características deglutorias de pacientes diagnosticados con la enfermedad para su manejo. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las características deglutorias de pacientes críticos extubados con y sin diagnóstico de COVID-19. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo con una muestra a conveniencia de 43 sujetos mayores de 15 años, ingresados al Hospital San Juan de Dios (Santiago, Chile) entre el 01 de junio y el 31 de agosto de 2020, intubados con o sin diagnóstico de COVID-19. Del total de sujetos, 22 padecieron de COVID-19 quienes estuvieron significativamente más días intubados que aquellos sin la patología (p=0,002). Inmediatamente posterior a la extubación orotraqueal, más del 90% de la muestra presentó disfagia. No hubo diferencia significativa en el nivel FILS ni asociación significativa en el grado de severidad de la disfagia entre sujetos con y sin COVID-19. Tampoco hubo diferencia significativa en el nivel FILS entre los grupos a los 10 días post-extubación. El nivel FILS a los 10 días aumentó significativamente en aquellos sujetos con COVID-19 (p=0,016) y sin COVID-19 (p=0,004). En la muestra, el nivel FILS y grado de severidad de la disfagia de los pacientes con y sin COVID-19 no mostraron diferencias estadísticas, siendo alto el porcentaje de disfagia en ambos grupos, lo que se podría asociar a la intubación orotraqueal y al tubo orotraqueal. Es necesaria la incorporación del fonoaudiólogo dentro de los equipos de Unidades de Pacientes Críticos para el manejo de los pacientes con COVID-19 y disfagia. Además, se recomienda continuar con más estudios en el área.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: A pathological complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy indicates that the outlook for individuals with breast cancer is encouraging. identifying factors, for instance the growth biomarker Ki67, that could forecast pCR, can be useful for improving understanding how drug reaction affects outcome. This research aims to evaluate Ki67's prognostic as well as prediction utility in infiltrating breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment. Methods: After fixation and embedding, the researchers performed Ki67 staining on core biopsies taken from 552 patients. They also evaluated HER2/neu, oestrogen, progesterone receptors, and graded the samples prior to therapy. They created both univariate and multivariate models to forecast pCR and prognosis using this data. They also divided the tumors into various molecular phenotypes in order to find possible subgroups in which Ki67 could be used to forecast pCR and prognosis. Results: The researchers discovered that Ki67 was a significant autonomous pCR predictor (OR 4; 94.7% CI, 1.3 , 9), overall survival (HR 9; 96% CI, 4 to 21), and survival without illness (HR 3; 96% CI, 2 to 6) utilizing a cut-off value of > 14% positive neoplasic cell staining.
