Authors: Ekawasti Fitrine , Martindah E
Published: January 2020

Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria sp. is an important disease in poultry industry. In Indonesia, the morbidity due to this disease in poultry reaches up to 90%. The clinical symptoms of coccidiosis vary depending on the age of poultry and the species of Eimeria. If coccidiostat is not properly used in control and eradication program, it will cause resistance and residue in meat and egg. This paper aims to describe the optimal control of coccidiosis without chemical substances by using natural herbs. Resistance cases to Eimeria sp. cause the anti-coccidia ineffective therefore a safe and effective coccidiostat is needed. Currently, coccidiosis control using natural medicines from herbs was reported to be effective, safe, free of side effects and cheaper. An integrated coccidiosis control program can be applied along with biosecurity, vaccination, prebiotics and coccidiostat from herbs. Control of coccidiosis in chickens with herbal medicines can increase immunity, appetite and reduce stress so that it can suppress Eimeria sp. infestation.

Authors: Mase Lindung Zalbuin
Published: January 2020

Zonation of liquefaction potential is the important thing in understanding the liquefaction impact on an area. The liquefaction Severity Index (LSI) method can be applied to determine the liquefaction vulnerability level. This paper presents a study of liquefaction using LSI method to compose the liquefaction vulnerability map in a coastal area of Bengkulu City i.e., Lempuing Subdistrict. This study was conducted by analyzing CPT data in Lempuing Subdistrict to obtain the Factor of Safety and the probability of liquefaction. Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) was assumed as 0.5g, which refers to SNI 03-1726-2012. Furthermore, the value of liquefaction probability and factor of safety obtained was analyzed to obtain LSI index and adjusted to the specific categories i.e., very low (0<LSI<15), low (15<LSI<35), moderate (35<LSI<65), high (65<LSI<85), and very high (85<LSI<100). Based on the analysis result, Lempuing Subdistrict was categorized as a very high to the very low susceptible area to liquefaction. The very high susceptible area was located on the eastern Lempuing Subdistrict bordering to the Gading Cempaka Subdistrict. The high susceptible area was located on the northern Lempuing Subdistrict bordering the Tanah Patah Subdistrict. Moderate to very low susceptible areas were located in the middle, west, and south of Lempuing Subdistrict.
Review of Learning strategy instruction in the language classroom: Issues and implementation; Editors: Anna Uhl Chamot, Vee Harris; Publisher: Multilingual Matters, 2019; ISBN: 9781788923392; Pages: 296
Authors: Trendak Olga
Published: January 2020

The book Learning Strategy Instruction in the Language Classroom: Issues and Implementation, edited by Anna Uhl Chamot and Vee Harris, touches upon crucial issues pertaining to language learning strategies (LLS) and language learning strategy instruction (LLSI), both from a theoretical and practical perspective. All the contributors to the volume are specialists with considerable expertise in the field of LLS and LLSI, which makes the book an informative and inspirational read. The authors look at the concept of strategy instruction from different perspectives, meticulously not only investigating various LLSI models, taking account of “learner needs and settings and particular language skills,” but also “considering curricula, materials, teachers roles, the ways in which scaffolding is enacted in the classrooms” (p. viii). Since the volume adeptly combines research into LLSI with its theoretical aspects and complexities, it will prove useful to practitioners and researchers alike. Delineating new directions in the field of LLSI, the edited collection is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions about LLSI and its implementation in the classroom.

Authors: Macias-Muñoz Laura , Filella Xavier , Augé Josep Maria , Hanzu Felicia A. , Morales-Ruiz Manuel , Bedini Josep Lluis , Jiménez Wladimiro , Casals Gregori
Published: January 2020

Background

Serum estradiol (E2) levels may be used in the diagnostic and/or monitoring of a broad variety of clinical conditions. The aims of this study were to evaluate the Siemens enhanced estradiol assay (eE2) on Atellica IM 1600 (Siemens Healthineers) and to perform a sample comparison with the Siemens ADVIA Centaur XP (Siemens Healthineers).

Methods

Within-day and between-day coefficient of variation (CV) were determined using serum sample pools and quality control materials. Six serum samples with decreasing concentrations of E2 were used to assess the limit of quantification. Linearity was evaluated using two different serum samples. Accuracy was evaluated by measuring three certified reference materials. Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman plot were used for comparing Atellica and Centaur XP in 119 serum samples ranging from 45 to 10,059 pmol/L.

Results

Within-day and between-day imprecision was <6.6%. Accuracy was <6.0% for all values except for 114 pmol/L (22%). The study of limit of quantification resulted in an interday imprecision <20%. High correlation between measured and expected estradiol dilution results was observed (R = 0.99), with recoveries ranging from 77 to 93%. Comparison study showed good agreement and no significant bias.

Conclusions

The study shows that Atellica eE2 assay presents acceptable imprecision and accuracy and correlates well with Centaur XP.

Authors: Khotib Mohammad , Soegijono Bambang , Mas’ud Zainal Alim , Sutriah Komar
Published: January 2020

Transition metal oxide (TMO) continues to be studied and developed as an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst due to its abundance and low price. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate Ni2+-doped BaFe12O19(BHF) as an OER electrocatalyst in an alkaline medium. BHF and Ni-doped BHF was synthesized through a low temperature coprecipitation technique followed by a calcination process at 750oC for 4 h. Diffractograms of the BHF and the Ni-doped BHF indicated a single phase on the synthesized BHF and formed Fe2O3impurities on the Ni-doped BHF. SEM images showed a homogenous plate-shaped particles in the BHF, while the Ni-doped BHF had larger inhomogeneous particles. Ni dopant increased OER electrocatalytic activity of BHF based on overpotential on specific current density. The Ni-doped BHF had comparable activity to some metallic oxides based on their overpotential values at specific current density value.

Published: January 2020

The impacts of androgens and glucocorticoids on spermatogenesis have intrigued scientists for decades. 11β-hydroxylase, encoded by cyp11c1, is the key enzyme involved in the synthesis of 11-ketotestosterone and cortisol, the major androgen and glucocorticoid in fish, respectively. In the present study, a Cyp11c1 antibody was produced. Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed that Cyp11c1 was predominantly expressed in the testicular Leydig cells and head kidney interrenal cells. A mutant line of cyp11c1 was established by CRISPR/Cas9. Homozygous mutation of cyp11c1 caused a sharp decrease of serum cortisol and 11-ketotestosterone, and a delay in spermatogenesis which could be rescued by exogenous 11-ketotestosterone or testosterone, but not cortisol treatment. Intriguingly, this spermatogenesis restored spontaneously, indicating compensatory effects of other androgenic steroids. In addition, loss of Cyp11c1 led to undersized testes with a smaller efferent duct and disordered spermatogenic cysts in adult males. However, a small amount of viable sperm was produced. Taken together, our results demonstrate that cyp11c1 is important for testicular development, especially for the initiation and proper progression of spermatogenesis. 11-ketotestosterone is the most efficient androgen in tilapia.

Authors: Žilys Saulius
Published: January 2020

The article treats baptismal, matrimonial and death parish registers in 17th–20th centuries, also lists of confirmees and lists of converts to Roman Catholic Church or Orthodox Church, lists of parishes and parishes’ residents of territories in Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and East Prussia. Manuscript materials used in article belong to various Christian and non-Christian confessions: Roman Catholic, orthodox, uniate, evangelical reformers, evangelical Lutheran, Karaite, Jew/Hebrew, Tartar. The article treats origin of parishes’ registers chronology, how parishes’ registers were written, and which information was in them also defines confessional singularity. Focus on 17th–18th century parishes registers – mostly Roman Catholic.Church parishes registers at first were started to write in Italy (1396) and in Provence. The Council of Trent of Roman Catholic Church in 1563 obligated fill in baptismal and matrimonial parish registers, ordinary “Rituale romanorum” in 1614 obligated to fill in death registers and lists of parishes residents. Filling of parishes registers in Roman Catholic and Protestant churches became overall in 17th century, in Orthodox and Uniate churches – in 18th century. The first information about parishes’ registers in Lithuania was introduced in visiting-round of Samogitia bishop in 1579, but the oldest known parish register is baptismal register of Joniškis church and it begins in 1599.The article treats evolution of parishes’ registers in Lithuania. Noticeable that death registers were started to fill only in 17th century and involved only part of departed.
It is Domestic, it Must Be Healthy: How Health Consciousness and Consumer Ethnocentrism Shape Healthiness Perception and Purchase Intentions of Domestic Food
Authors: Uzdavinyte Elze , Aubel Martin , Gineikienė Justina
Published: January 2020

Consumer ethnocentrism (CET), healthiness perception and health consciousness have been extensively researched in regard to consumer food choices. Literature on domestic food choices provides evidence that CET positively affects consumer preferences toward domestic food. However, the effect of health consciousness on domestic food choices has not yet received a ention. Our online study (N=227, convenience sample from Lithuanian population) closes this gap by showing that health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond consumer ethnocentrism and represents the first study to analyze CET in light of food healthiness perception. All constructs were measured using established self-report scales. Empirical results obtained through structural equation modelling show that (1) health consciousness increases healthiness perception and willingness to buy domestic food. Moreover, (2) health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond CET; (3) healthiness perception of domestic food has an impact on consumer purchase decisions; (4) CET has a positive impact on domestic food healthiness perception. The study provides managerial implications for domestic and foreign producers.
Relationship Marketing Estimation Model in Emerging Economies: Dyadic Versus Non-dyadic Approach
Authors: Setyawan Anton Agus , M. Purwanto Bernardinus , Dharmmesta Basu Swastha , Nugroho Sahid Susilo
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study is to analyze two estimation models related to relationship marketing in business-to-business interactions in the context of emerging economies. We compare two estimation models – one based on a dyadic approach and another based on a non-dyadic approach. We estimate these two models and compare their results to see which one is more suitable to be used as a theoretical relationship marketing model. We developed a survey comprising 204 dyadic observations of retailers and their suppliers and used a purposive sampling method. Three different observations correspond to three different estimation models. This study shows that the estimation model based on a dyadic approach has a better model fit than the model based on a non-dyadic approach regarding relationship marketing in a business-to-business context. The dyadic model also gives more accurate information to explain behaviour among companies involved in business relationships. Furthermore, this study explains how to examine estimation models in a relationship marketing context using dyadic and non- dyadic approaches. We also develop methods for examining dyadic perceptions of companies involved in business relationships. Our results contribute to the IMP school of thought in relationship marketing.
The economic growth of small states and small economies in regional economic organizations and integrations: similarities and differences
Authors: Kurečić Petar , Luša Đana
Published: January 2020

The authors examine the effect of membership of small states in regional economic organizations and integrations on the growth of GDP. The aim is to use cost-benefi t analysis to answer the question of whether small states, and also small economies, achieve greater economic growth through regional economic organizations and integrations than those small states that are not small economies. Small states, as the subjects of research work, have beenchosen precisely because of their size, here defi ned by quantitative criteria, but taking into account that relational criteria are very important for their positioning in international relations, such as greater exposure to external infl uences and their dependence on membership in regional economic organizations and integrations. The GDP of small states, in an attempt to answer the hypothesis, was followed for a period of twenty years. Characteristics thatdepend on regional affi liation of small states, as well as the similarities and differences between small states which are members of the same regional economic organizations/integrations, were also the subject of this paper.
The Albanian organization and organizational structure - the challenges of the adaptation to the dynamic reality
Authors: Shkurti Ludmilla
Published: January 2020

There were 78 400 enterprises active in Albania in 2011, employing 180 800 people, of which 47% worked in 1,684 enterprises employing more than 20 people. These last enterprises represented 61 percent of the total turnover, and 75 percent of the total investments. These enterprises are predominantly in the industrial and construction sectors. Enterprises with 1-4 employees represent 91 percent of the total enterprises, and represent 14 percent of total turnover. Small enterprises are dominant in the service sector. Business in Albania is currently operating in a global environment, which has a great impact on the theory or practice of organizations, and also on the working behaviour of employees. This already complex environment, which is becoming increasingly dynamic, and growing competition, are also changing the way in which work is organized, as well as the solutions. Great opportunities are arising from a better understanding of Albanian contemporary organizations and the work environment. To take advantage of these opportunities, the trends regarding the relationship between organizational design and design work should be studied and identifi ed. The aim is to identify the potential patterns and the current trends and tendencies in Albanian organization design, providing useful knowledge in the fi eld of Albanian business practices, and future challenges for research in this direction.
'Chlorophyll ideology' and Protected Areas.The Social Discourses on the Reserve Area 'Tancat de la Pipa' in the Albufera Natural Park (Spain)
Authors: Requena i Mora Marina , Rodríguez Victoriano José Manuel
Published: January 2020

The human-centric nature of environmental thinking is a highly successful adaptation, which has biological, historical, cultural origins. The dichotomy of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism are what ultimately determine ecological attitudes. This nationally representative study presents how students in Hungarian environmental education bachelor programs view the human’s taxonomic position in the world (hierarchies, kinship), throughout evolution (determining possible directions, distancing from other organisms), the role of human power, and our rights of intervention in the environment. It shows what kind of knowledge students arrive with from public education, how they think about handling confl icts, and what impact their acquired knowledge during university years has on their environmental attitudes. It was found that at least two-thirds of students evaluated natural environmental processes, problemsand their consequences with anthropocentric preferences – in contrast to scientifi cally accepted theses.

Comparativa de las estrategias metodológicas utilizadas en dos escuelas inclusivas con alumnado con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA)
Authors: Guasch Rosa Fortuny , Sanahuja Gavaldà Josep Maria
Published: January 2020

En Cataluña, el alumnado con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) escolarizado en escuelas inclusivas recibe apoyo por parte del servicio de apoyo intensivo para la escolarización inclusiva (SIEI), bien en las aulas ordinarias, o bien en un aula específica. No obstante, para los maestros supone un reto acoger al alumnado con TEA, pues se deben desarrollar numerosas estrategias metodológicas: utilizar una apertura y un cierre claros, dar ejemplos, utilizar un lenguaje concreto, presentar la información de manera oral con apoyo visual, propiciar actividades de interés y anticipar, por citar algunas. Dada su gran variedad, el objetivo del estudio es identificar qué estrategias metodológicas se usan con los alumnos con TEA en el aula regular, y si difieren de las usadas en el aula SIEI. Se desarrolló un estudio cualitativo y descriptivo a partir de la observación en las aulas y entrevistas con una muestra de dos escuelas de educación primaria. Los resultados muestran que ambas escuelas utilizan múltiples estrategias, aunque algunas no se contemplan, por ejemplo, la generalización. Además, cuando hay un aula SIEI, se tiende a situar al alumno con TEA fuera del aula regular, donde el maestro de apoyo mantiene el rol de tutor. En cambio, dentro del aula regular, el maestro de apoyo destina su tiempo al alumno con TEA de bajo funcionamiento; mientras que los alumnos con TEA de alto funcionamiento reciben apoyo por parte de los iguales. Finalmente, se observa la necesidad de desarrollar programas formativos para todo el profesorado para fomentar una mayor inclusión.

Effect of Different Implant-Abutment Connection Materials on the Fracture Resistance of Zirconia Abutments
Authors: AlAmar Mohammed , Alqahtani Fawaz
Published: January 2020

The aim of the present in vitro study was to assess the modes of failures under static load among titanium (Ti) and 1- and 2-piece zirconia abutments. The 1- and 2-piece zirconia abutment specimens were fabricated from prescanned Ti abutments. Twenty-one implant abutments and 21 implant replicas were equally divided into 3 groups as follows: (a) Group 1 (Titanium group); (b) Group 2 (1-piece zirconia abutment group); and (c) Group 3: 2-piece zirconia abutment group). A 250 000-cycle linear fatigue load ranging between 10 N and 210 N was applied to all specimens using an all-electric dynamic test instrument. The specimens were loaded until they fractured. In all groups, assessment of mode of fracture was done on visual assessment by a trained and calibrated investigator. Prior sample-size estimation was performed; and sample distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov and Shapiro tests. Screw fracture (n = 7) and abutment bending at the apical part (n = 7) occurred in the Ti group. In the 1-piece zirconia group, screw and abutment fractures occurred in 7 and 7 cases, respectively. In the 2-piece zirconia screw fracture (n = 7) above the Ti zirconia junction (transgingival segment) and abutment fracture (n = 7) were determined as the failure modes. In vitro, the 1-piece zirconia abutments are more fracture resistant than titanium and 2-piece zirconia abutments. From a clinical perspective, further studies are needed to determine the minimum static load value required to induce fracture of the 1- and 2-piece zirconia abutments.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: Ample data demonstrates that sleep deprivation leads to impaired functioning including cognitive performance, memory and fine motor skills. Medical students represent a professional sector in which optimizing cognitive performance and functioning is critical from a personal, public health and safety perspective. Aims: To characterize chronotypes of an international cohort of medical students and determine if chronotype is affected by demographics or latitude. Samples: 328 students from medical schools in the United States (US), Malaysia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) were assessed for differences in chronotype and sleep habits. Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study from medical schools in the US, Malaysia and UAE between 2013 and 2015. Results: There was a significant difference in mean waking times for Malaysian students who reported awakening earlier than US or UAE students. Malaysian students were most likely to feel their best earlier in the day and consider themselves a "morning type." UAE students were more likely to do "hard physical work" later in the day, followed by US and Malaysian. On average, US students were less likely to shift their bedtime later if they had no commitments the next day. Overall, mean chronotype score was "neither" type for all three groups however the Malaysian group showed a significant preference for morning hours in some individual questions. Conclusion: Medical student sleep patterns vary internationally but chronotype may not. Improving sleep education globally, with awareness of the effects of chronotype, could ultimately result in improved sleep awareness, potentially influencing physician wellbeing, patient care and safety.

Published: January 2020

İnsanlar tarafından inşa edilen ve ancak insanların desteği ile var olabilen kurumlar için olumlu
bir imajla algılanma önemli bir kaygıdır. Kurumsal imaj kurumlar için ihmal edilemez bir yaşamsal
uzuv gibidir. Kurumsal varlığın devamı olumlu imajın sağlanması ve korunması ile mümkündür.
Kurumsal imaj kurumun görsel unsurları, kültürü, felsefesi, davranışı, iletişimi, kurumsal
sorumluluk faaliyetleri gibi geniş bileşenlerden oluşmaktadır. Kurumların hedef kitleleri
nezdinde oluşturduğu algıların toplamına karşılık gelen kurumsal imaj, kurumsal tercihleri
etkileyebilmektedir. Günümüzün bilinçli tüketicileri olan bireyler çeşitli ihtiyaçlarını karşılarken
kurumların imajlarını dikkate almaktadır. Küresel rekabet koşullarından en çok etkilenen kurumlar
arasında yer alan bankalar da bireylerinin günlük yaşamında önemli yere sahiptir. Bu açıdan
bankalar da mevcut ve potansiyel müşterilerini korumak için kurumsal imajlarını olumlu yönde
etkileyecek girişimlerde bulunmaktadır. Bu faaliyetler kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk, kurumsal
iletişim, kurumsal kimlik, kurumsal davranış gibi kurumun imajını etkileyen unsurlara yönelik
gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu çalışma; halkla ilişkiler literatüründe eksikliği görülen doğrudan
finans kurumlarının kurumsal imajlarına yönelik belirleyicilerin neler olduğu konusunu
araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Buna yönelik olarak Konya il merkezinde 18 yaş üzeri 558 katılımcı

Ancak bu araştırma banka tercihlerini belirleyen kurumsal imaj belirleyicilerine yönelik yapılan
araştırmaların neredeyse çok sınırlı olmasından dolayı önemli görülmektedir. Çalışmanın
bulgularına göre; 18-25 yaş grubundaki çoğunluğu üniversite öğrencisi olan, kredi kartı olan ve
online bankacılık hizmetleri alan katılımcılar banka tercihlerinde güvenlik değişkenini en çok

A Reassessment of the Magnitude of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake
Authors: Fonseca Joao F. B. D.
Published: January 2020

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake is still poorly understood due to its offshore location and complex macroseismic intensity pattern. Gutenberg and Richter (1949) tentatively assigned a magnitude between 8¾ and 9 judging from an estimated perceptibility radius of 2500 km. More recent attempts to estimate the magnitude from isoseismal areas led to results in the 8.5–8.7 range. These values have been adopted in several studies of the seismic hazard of southwest Iberia.

In this article, I use the available macroseismic data—a total of 1206 data points from Portugal, Spain, and Morocco—to reassess the magnitude of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Because a training set of instrumental earthquakes was not available, I apply the technique of Bakun and Wentworth (1997) in conjunction with the ground-motion model of Atkinson and Wald (2007), which was selected through comparison with the 1969 M 7.8 Gorringe bank earthquake data. I obtain a moment magnitude of 7.7±0.5, significantly lower than previous results. The epicentral location obtained with this analysis is offshore southwest Iberia—as expected given the tsunami effects—but poorly constrained.

Based on the pattern of intensity data outliers, I suggest that the source was complex and spatially distributed, with part of the rupture taking place onshore or inshore. I propose an explanation for the large tsunamigenic power of the earthquake, which invokes the basal rupture of the Gulf of Cadiz accretionary prism. Finally, I discuss the implications for hazard assessment of the type of complex rupture proposed.
Estratégias políticas e administrativas na assistência de menores desvalidos no município de Pelotas/RS, Brasil (1889-1930): primeiras aproximações
Authors: Dos Santos Caldeira Jeane , Lange do Amaral Giana , Ripe Fernando
Published: January 2020

Este texto objetiva destacar políticas e práticas administrativas destinadas à assistência de menores desvalidos no Brasil e, especificamente, no município de Pelotas/RS-Brasil, no início do século XX, período da chamada Primeira República brasileira (1889-1930). Neste contexto, os governos republicanos acionaram estratégias políticas para solucionar problemas sociais, dentre os quais a educação da criança pobre. As instituições asilares, educativas e filantrópicas foram fundadas para acolher e instruir meninos e meninas desvalidos. Interessa-nos perceber e analisar as ações da comunidade local, da Igreja Católica e do poder público municipal, ao fundar estas instituições de amparo aos menores. O estudo está embasado em bibliografia sobre a temática, assim como em legislação, atas e jornais locais, de modo a perceber os mecanismos acionados na administração destas instituições.
3O direitos à educação indígena em face da realidade Sul-Mato-Grossense
Authors: Aguilera Urquiza Antonio Hilario , Dos Santos Evanir Gomes , Gutierrez José Paulo
Published: January 2020

Conquistas indígenas avançam ao direito à educação específica, o que motivou este estudo em analisar este avanço na região sul-mato-grossense. Para tanto, tomou-se por base a legislação nacional referente à educação indígena pós-Constituição Federal de 1988; o aporte teórico foi a partir de AGUILERA URQUIZA (2013; 2017) e BENITES (2009; 2014).  O estudo se desenvolveu, portanto, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfico-documental à luz do relatório da Declaração das Nações Unidas, redigido por James Anaya (2009) e de resultados de pesquisas na temática. Constatou-se, dessa análise, o amparo legal à educação indígena em que assegura os costumes dos povos tradicionais e, a despeito dessa evidência, entretanto, nota-se a prevalente carência de recursos públicos, o que gera uma organização escolar precária e proveniente da sociedade não indígena.
A assimilação de Gramsci em Metodologia e Ideologia do Trabalho Social de Vicente Faleiros
Authors: Aquino Adilson Silveira Júnior , Dias Larissa Ranielly Lima
Published: January 2020

O artigo aborda as tendências de assimilação do pensamento de Antônio Gramsci no quadro teórico do Serviço Social brasileiro. Através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, analisa tal assimilação no conhecido livro de Vicente de Paula Faleiros Metodologia e ideologia do trabalho social: crítica ao funcionalismo, observando as implicações político-ideológicas desse uso de Gramsci para a compreensão do significado do Serviço Social nas relações sociais e suas alternativas de atuação.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in Breast Surgery

Published: January 2020

Background: The use of Negative Pressure Wound Dressing has been found to promote the wound healing process, therefore, reducing the risk of surgical site complications. The use of this technique amongst breast cancer patients, who have often encountered a distressing journey, may prove beneficial in making the post-operative process less eventful. Many of these patients have a limited time window to start adjuvant treatment. The use of a negative pressure device is recommended in both prophylactic and therapeutic scenarios. NPWT may also be used in patients who have undergone cosmetic breast surgery. We have evaluated the use of NPWT in breast surgery with an updated and systematic review of the available literature.

Methods: The authors systematically searched the PubMed, Science Direct, and Wiley Online databases using the phrases “Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Breast surgery” and “Vacuum-Assisted Closure in Breast Wound” and all publications, including relevant data were considered eligible for inclusion in the review.

Results: We have found reports of 7 studies, 3 retrospective, 2 prospective, one randomized trial, and one case series. The complication rate in the NPWT group versus conventional dressing group has been reported in 5 papers. A statistically significant effect in favor of NPWT was documented in three trials.

Conclusion: The current evidence supports the notion that NPWT systems are beneficial in enhancing the healing of complicated breast wounds. However, larger studies exploring the effectiveness of this technique would be of interest to breast surgeons.

Looking for „Self” at the Intersection of „Master/master” Discourses
Authors: Kafar Marcin
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the problem of constructing the identity of the modern subject that appears at the intersection of lived experience and the description of it. It is treated as instrumental, a sphere of Master/master–disciple relationship, framed by the author as “existing in a Master/master universe.” The results of the author’s own research on scientific (academic) auto/biographies, as well as other resources revealing different aspects of the Master/master–disciple relationship, serve as the main point of reference for creating the descriptive, interpretive, and analytical layers of the article. They are presented in a mode of anthropologically-oriented text analysis supported by—located in the context of Polish educational sciences—Michel Foucault’s concept of “the hermeneutics of the subject.”
Helena Radlińska w latach 1939–1945 – historia zrekonstruowana ze wspomnień
Authors: Kamińska-Jatczak Izabela
Published: January 2020

Artykuł łączy ze sobą wspomnienia osób, które w latach okupacji hitlerowskiej spotykały się z Radlińską i były częścią jej życia wojennego. Biografia, jaką udało się zrekonstruować z wielu połączonych ze sobą relacji na temat uczonej, posiada układ chronologiczno-problemowy, ożywia zachowaną pamięć o mistrzu oraz pozwala zobaczyć jego życie w toczącym się procesie, niekiedy nacechowanym „zerwaniami i nieciągłościami”. Tekst daje do myślenia nad zagadnieniem mistrzostwa – szczególnie mistrzostwa dostrzegalnego w aktywnościach mistrza. Artykuł skłania do refleksji nad mistrzostwem Radlińskiej, które manifestowało się w szczególnych cechach jej aktywności.

Tekst uzupełniają wspomnienia Radlińskiej zawarte w Liście dziesiątym i Liście jedenastym, które znajdują się w Listach o nauczaniu i pracy badawczej (1964) – „pamiętnikach” Profesor.
Z Mistrzami podróż przez życie
Authors: Koperkiewicz Magdalena
Published: January 2020

Artykuł jest osobistą refleksją nad rolą Mistrza w życiu człowieka. Każdy człowiek napotyka na swojej drodze ludzi, którzy kształtują jego przyszłość. Nie zawsze jednak jesteśmy tego świadomi. Uświadomienie sobie roli innych ludzi w naszym życiu wprowadza pewien porządek w teraźniejszość i wpływa na kształtowanie własnej tożsamości. Poprzez podzielenie się opowieścią o swoich mistrzach i własnym pojmowaniu mistrzostwa chciałam przede wszystkim pokazać, że Mistrzami są przeważnie ludzie żyjący wokół nas, których często w codziennym życiu nie potrafimy dostrzec.
