Interleukin-17B is differentially expressed in the lymph node and brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that cytokine interleukin-17B, encoded by IL17B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. IL17B mRNA was present at significantly reduced quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to normal breast tissues. Down-regulation of immunological functions transduced by interleukin-17B may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer. These data combined suggest some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain. IL-17B may provide some critical signal that must be impaired to bypass immune defense in the lymph nodes that reside between the breast and the brain.
The status of refrigeration techniques for vaccine storage and transportation in low-income settings
Authors: Cattin Magali , Jonnalagedda Sashidhar , Makoliso Solomzi , Schönenberger Klaus
Published: December 2020

Vaccines need to be continuously stored between 2°C to 8°C, from their production to administration to beneficiaries. Every year, more than 25% of vaccines are wasted. One of the main reasons for this wastage is the lack of cold chain continuity in low-income settings, where electricity is scarce. Recently, several advances have been made in cooling technologies to store and transport vaccines. The current paper presents a review of refrigeration technologies based on scientific publications, industry white papers and other grey literature. For each refrigeration method, we describe its working principle, the best performing devices available as well as the remaining research challenges in order to obtain a very high degree of performance enhancement. Finally, we comment on their applicability for vaccine transport and storage.

Authors: Lee Shawna J. , Ward Kaitlin P. , Lee Joyce Y , Rodriguez Christina
Published: December 2020

Background: On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The social isolation and economic stress resulting from pandemic have the potential to exacerbate child abuse and neglect. Objective: This study examines the association of parents’ perceived social isolation and recent employment loss to risk for child maltreatment (neglect, verbal aggression, and physical punishment) in the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants and Setting: Participants (N = 283) were adults living in the U.S. who were parents of at least one child 0-12 years of age. Methods: Participants completed an online survey approximately 2 weeks after the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 was a pandemic. The survey asked about recent changes (i.e., in the past 2 weeks) to employment status, parenting behaviors, use of discipline, use of spanking, and depressive symptoms. Results: Parents’ perceived social isolation and recent employment loss were associated with self-report of physical and emotional neglect and verbal aggression against the child, even after statistically controlling for parental depressive symptoms, income, and sociodemographic factors. Parents’ perceived social isolation was associated with parental report of changes in discipline, specifically, using discipline and spanking more often in the past 2 weeks. Associations were robust to analyses that included two variables that assessed days spent social distancing and days spent in “lockdown.” Conclusions: Study results point to the need for mental health supports to parents and children to ameliorate the strain created by COVID-19.
A Review of the Interleaving Effect: Theories and Lessons for Future Research
Authors: Yan Veronica X. , Schuetze Brendan A. , Eglington Luke Glenn
Published: December 2020

Numerous studies have shown that an interleaved study sequence of examples (e.g., ABCBACACB) from different categories, relative to a blocked sequence (e.g., AAABBBCCC), often yields superior category learning. Some explanations for sequencing effects centers on attentional processes, others focus on memory processes, and the two are often pitted against each other. We propose a new integrative two-stage framework for sequencing effects incategory-learning and support this framework using a meta-analytic approach. We show, using a meta-analytic approach, that a combination of memory and attentional predictors explains significantly more variance in sequencing effects than attentional factors alone. This approach also allowed us to examine the nature of the existing evidence, which revealed inferential limitations due to how researchers typically design experiments. We provide suggestions for future research on sequencing effects in category learning that would both test the two-stage framework and increase the impact of future research.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: Spoken discourse analysis is commonly employed in the assessment and treatment of people living with aphasia, yet there is no standardization in assessment, analysis, or reporting procedures, thereby precluding comparison/meta-analyses of data and hindering replication of findings. An important first step is to identify current practices in acquiring, analyzing, and reporting spoken discourse information in aphasia. Thus, this study surveyed current practices, with the goal of working toward standardizing assessment, analysis, and reporting, first in research settings with subsequent implementation in clinical settings.Method: A mixed-methods (quantitative, qualitative) survey was publicized to researchers and clinicians around the globe who have collected and/or analyzed spoken discourse data in aphasia. The survey data were collected between September and November 2019.Results: Of the 201 individuals who consented to participate, 189 completed the entire survey. The majority of respondents reported barriers to utilizing discourse including transcription, coding, and analysis. The most common barrier was time (e.g., lack of time). Respondents also indicated that there was a lack of, and a need for, psychometric properties and normative data for spoken discourse use in the assessment and treatment of persons with aphasia. Quantitative and qualitative results are described in detail. Conclusions: The current survey study evaluated spoken discourse methods in aphasia across research and clinical settings. Findings from the current study will be used to guide development of process standardization in spoken discourse, and for the creation of a psychometric and normative property database.
Unique-Named People Are Perceived More Suitable for Unique Jobs: A Social Perception and Its Real-Life Impact on Name Change
Authors: Bao Han-Wu-Shuang , Lu Huanhua , Luo Yu L. L.
Published: December 2020

The latest research has revealed that unique-name holders pursue unique jobs in social reality. However, it remains unclear if such an association exists in social perception. We addressed this question with five studies. Through surveys, we showed that people associated “having a unique name” with “choosing a unique job” in general views (Study 1) and in specific cases (Study 2), which were both partly explained by creativity-relevant stereotypes. Then, through experimental manipulations, we examined the causality and extended the investigation to ecologically valid contexts. In personnel selection (Study 3), people would assign unique jobs to applicants with unique (vs. common) names. For a name change (Study 4), people would recommend unique names to workers in unique (vs. common) jobs. Moreover, these behavioral tendencies were subject to people’s general views about the name-job uniqueness association. In Study 5, we collected real-world name-change data from China, U.S., and U.K. and found that, when there was a name change, artists’ (a typically unique job) given names were actually changed to more unique ones. These findings demonstrate a perceived name-job association and enrich our understanding of the name-job relationship in real life.

Published: December 2020

This study attempts to see the implementation of communicative language teaching and to investigate factors hindering high school teachers from implementing it. Data were collected using online questionnaire and interview. This questionnaire was administered to 29 senior high school teachers. The findings show that most teachers understand the concept of CLT well. However, there are some obstacles that they need to deal with in implementing CLT the classroom. Teachers experience limited access to the target language’s culture, limited time to develop materials for CLT and lack of training in order to improve their teaching skill. Given its importance, more research is still needed to see how this CLT method can be improved in Indonesia teaching context in the future.
World Cinema 3.0? The “World as Backdrop” for a Multimedial Age
Authors: Guha Malini
Published: December 2020

Les premiers écrits sur le cinéma international, dont la plupart soumettaient les cultures de l’image en mouvement aux impératifs dogmatiques des cinémas nationaux, révèlent les limites associées au choix d’aborder le sujet sous l’angle du lieu. Le « cinéma international 2.0 », illustrant l’effort des chercheurs pour relancer le sous-domaine, a été conçu en réaction à ces limites. La grille de circulation est une méthode importante qu’utilisent les chercheurs participant à cette relance du cinéma international, qui met en relief la façon dont les films sont mobilisés dans les vastes réseaux regroupant les canaux matériels et virtuels. L’auteure se demande s’il se peut qu’une nouvelle limitation de l’expression réside dans l’accent mis sur le cinéma, évoquant à titre d’exemple le cas du cinéma « médian » de Calcutta.
Fractographic Analysis of Fatigue Striations Formation under different Microstructures and Loading Conditions
Authors: Duarte L. , Andrade A.C. , Bettge D.
Published: December 2020

Fatigue failure of a component can occur at service loads considerably lower than the yield strength of the material. Under fatigue loading condition, the material in the vicinity of the tip of a propagating crack repeatedly deforms plastically, leaving microscopic marks on the crack surface, commonly known as fatigue striations. Counting and measuring fatigue striations is a method in estimating the number of loading cycles a component went through until fracture. Some studies suggest a one-to-one relation between the number of fatigue striations and the number of load cycles, but this relation is still debatable, given that there are many factors influencing the formation of those striations. The main purpose of this work is to analyze the influence of microstructure and mechanical strength on the formation of fatigue striations in structural steels, in order to understand how these material properties are related to the fatigue crack behavior. For such, standard Charpy-V samples were subjected to hardness, fatigue and impact testing. Metallography was performed to characterize the microstructure, and a fractographic analysis by using optical and scanning electron microscopy was carried out to investigate the fracture surface. This study shows that steels with higher ductility have a closer one-to-one relation than those with a higher tensile strength. Above a certain level of tensile strength, fatigue striations do form rarely or completely disappear.

Utility of Intraoperative Cortico-Cortical Evoked Potentials for the Evaluation of Language Function During Brain Tumor Resection
Authors: Gómez Jesús Pastor , Vega-Zelaya Lorena , Navas Marta , Martín Pilar , Gómez Jesús Pastor
Published: December 2020

The cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEP) are a relatively recent intraoperative monitoring tool that has
shown high reliability in detecting the functional language area and its connections. In this work we describe
a patient with a tumor located in the language area who underwent tumor resection. A neurophysiological
intraoperative mapping of the frontal and posterior language area with the anesthetized patient was carried
out. Then the patient was awaked. To demonstrate the relationship between language function and CCEP,
the Ojemann’s stimulation technique was used in the same electrodes were CCEPs were obtained. An
alteration in the emission of language had been found on the electrodes where CCEP was obtained and in
adjacent electrodes. During tumor resection we used a double check for language function: neurological
evaluation and CCEPs. We obtained a biunivocal relationship between warning criteria in the CCEP and
immediate language impairment on neurological examination. We always observed a significant decrease
in the CCEP associated with language impairment. The CCEP are able to obtain information in real time
with a good spatial resolution of the language function. Future studies should be carried out in order to
analyse the robustness of this technique to perform it in anesthetized patients.

The article is devoted to a rare find of red-figure ceramics of the Archaic period. In 2018, some pieces of kylix were found and glued together by restorers to four fragments of different sizes (from 17.0 cm to 7.5 cm). Scenes of a battle between horsemen and hoplites were represented on the vessel. Relying on the style and composition of this painting, the fragments can be attributed to the works of the painter Nikosthenes, one of the artists who worked in the last decades of the 6th century BC. Kylikes occupied a significant place among the vessels of various shapes that belong to the hand of this master.

The article presents the results of laboratory trials for the smelting of high-carbon ferromanganese on highly-basic slags. Laboratory trials have confirmed that an increase in the basicity of ferromanganese production slags has a positive effect on the reduction of manganese to the metal and a decrease in the concentration of silicon in it. However, the high basicity makes the slag high-melting and tough, leading to large losses of manganese with the slag. The use of on borate fluxes solves this problem by affecting the physical and chemical properties of the final slags, which allows the process to be carried out at high basicities with the achievement of optimal technological indicators. The obtained positive results of laboratory experiments served as the basis for approbation the developed technology on a semi-industrial scale with the smelting of high-carbon ferromanganese by the flux method from the manganese ore of the «Bogach» Deposit. As a result of studying the smelting of carbonaceous ferromanganese in large-scale laboratory conditions, the possibility of converting manganese ores on highly-basic slags with appropriate regulation of the transport properties of slag to a standard metal with high technical and economic indicators was established. The best results are achieved when the CaO/SiO2 ratio in the slag is 1.8 and the boron oxide content in the slag is 0.8%. It is established that under these conditions, the obtained boron-containing highly-basic slags of carbonaceous ferromanganese are not subject to slaking.

In the article there are presented results of a research that was carried out to determine a reason for the increase of more than 1,22 g/cm3 coal-tar oil density at the coke production of “ArcelorMittal Temirtau” joint-stock company. There have been studied samples of coal concentrates from nine layers of eight mines in Karaganda coal basin and GZh coal concentrate which are supplied to the coke chemical production of “ArcelorMittal Temirtau” joint-stock company from “Kunetskaya” Enrichment plant (Russia). During the work there has been determined dependence of the gas composition on the temperature affecting gas that was released during coal carbonizing process. It is experimentally established that with an increase in the temperature of the released coke gas above 750 ° C to 1000 ° C, light fractions evaporate from the resin and are removed into the gas discharge path, which is accompanied by a weighting, an increase in the density captured for processing coal tar into pitch. The results of the resin studies that is isolated in the same temperature ranges show the indicators of the resin yield and its density during the tests of concentrates also follow a certain pattern – with an increase in the coal carbonizing temperature and with overheating of the released gas, the resin density increases and its yield decreases. The researches in the plant has found that the technological reason for the weighting of the coke gas resin is a low level of coal charge stockline, which makes possible to linger the coke gas in the underroof space and to overheat with increasing the access of light fractions of the resin with the gas.

El ámbito escolar constituye un espacio en que los estudiantes deben sortear múltiples retos en su acercamiento al proceso de aprendizaje. Se ha demostrado que los componentes emocionales cumplen un rol fundante en el desempeño académico escolar, siendo este el eje de interés que motiva el presente trabajo. Partiendo de una revisión bibliográfica por diversas revistas académicas se propone indagar en qué medida la inteligencia emocional en conjunción con el apoyo social y el autoconcepto influyen en el desempeño académico de estudiantes de distintos niveles del sistema educativo. Con respecto a la Inteligencia emocional se arriba a resultados divergentes, hecho que pudiera relacionarse con la multiplicidad de instrumentos con los que la variable ha sido evaluada. Al correlacionar Inteligencia Emocional con Apoyo Social y Autoconcepto se advierte que suelen tener una influencia significativa en el buen desempeño educativo de los estudiantes de los niveles primarios, secundario y superior.
Equine herpetic infection: features of pathogenesis and diagnosis
Authors: Alekseenkova Svetlana , Yurov Konstantin
Published: December 2020

Equine alphaherpesviruses ― causative agents of rhinopneumonitis−viral abortion (EHV-1) and rhinopneumonitis (EHV-4) ― represent the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, genus Varicellovirus. EHV-1 causes abortion, respiratory pathology, and neurological disorders in horses of different ages. EHV-4 causes predominantly respiratory disease in foals and sporadic abortions in mares. In the etiopathogenesis of herpesvirus infections EHV-1 and EHV-4, the determining factors are pronounced tropism to epithelial cells, persistence in a non-replicative form, and unpredictable reactivation of a persistent virus with its release into the environment. EHV-1 and EHV-4 have similar antigenic determinants and cross-react in serological reactions. The high level of antigenic relationship between EHV-1 and EHV-4 can make it difficult to interpret serologic results in natural infections. The EHV-1 and EHV-4 strains in active circulation are genetically rather conservative. The exception is the new EHV-1 strains with a mutation in the gene encoding viral DNA polymerase, which caused outbreaks of neuroparalytic disease in some European countries and the United States. In several cases, the neurological syndrome has been reported due to use of some commercial vaccines

The paper discusses the development of a helper program "TypesetHelper", designed to facilitate the process of creating and translating comics. An analysis of functions of translation in modern society shows that translation, currently, is primarily a means of enabling communication between people who speak different languages. This applies, among other things, to such a specific niche as the translation of graphic novels, comics and manga. In the modern world, comics have become an integral part of popular culture, but in Ukraine, the culture of reading and translating comics is only at the stage of active formation. The purpose of this work is to create software that would facilitate the process of work with the inclusion of translated text in corresponding cleared illustrations. It is demonstrated that the existing software, including both general-purpose graphic editors like Adobe Photoshop and specialized programs for automatic recognition and translation of comics and manga, has disadvantages with respect to the problem being solved and can not be considered as a complete analogue of the software being developed. The functions that the program should perform include opening an image file, placing a text in a selected area, centering a text relative to a cloud, creating text layout, creating correct word division using automatic hyphenation methods, saving the image to a file. An analysis of possible methods of text layout when filling text clouds of various forms is given. The paper consider software design using the Unified Modeling Language (Use Case diagram, State Diagram, User Activity diagram) and its development using the C# programming language. Illustrations of the program operation process are given, which demonstrate its interface and examples of text division and layout using the selected methods. The developed helper program has practical value and can be used in comics and manga publishing houses, or for amateur translation. Keywords: text processing, comics, text layout, UML, C#.

Egy az eddigi gyakorlattól jelentősen eltérő hozzáállást, a korábbi szűk, ügyszerű konspirált együttműködés helyett egy széles körű, nyílt kapcsolat kialakítását igényli a társadalommal. A biztonságtudatosításra a legtöbb demokratikus országban hatékony eszközként tekintenek, amit jól mutat, hogy viszonylag rövid idő alatt milyen széles körben terjedt el. Azonban annak ellenére, hogy a kihívások azonosak, a prevenciós szemlélethez való hozzáállásban, a kapcsolódó intézkedések típusában, azok megvalósításában és az alkalmazott eszközökben vannak eltérések. A társadalom egészét érintő fenyegetésre tekintettel, továbbá azt figyelembe véve, hogy ezzel a kockázati tényezővel az előttünk álló időszakban is biztosan számolnunk kell, érdemes figyelemmel kísérni, az e téren élen járó országok jó gyakorlatait és az ott elért sikereket a saját rendszereink fejlesztése, tökéletesítése során felhasználni.

The latter were to listen to the advice of the pious lady who was ascribed prudence and discernment necessary in the world of politics.
Süperovulasyon Öncesi GnRH ve Kısa Süreli Progesteron Uygulamalarının Sığır Embriyolarının Sayısı ve Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: KARA Uğur , BEKYÜREK Tayfur
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada, insan koryonik gonadotropini (hCG) ve prostaglandin F2-alfa (PGF2α) ile östruslarının indüklenmesinden sonra gonadotropin salgılatıcı hormon (GnRH) ve kısa süreli progesteron uygulamasını takiben süperovulasyon uygulanan Holştayn donörler (modifiye protokol) ile klasik süperovulasyon uygulanan Holştayn donörlerden elde edilen embriyoların kalitesi ve sayısı karşılaştırıldı. Araştırmada, üç yaşlı 20 adet Holştayn ırkı inek iki eşit gruba ayrıldı. Grup I’ deki hayvanlara 11 gün ara ile iki defa kloprostenol enjeksiyonu yapıldı ve östrus sonrası takip eden siklusun 9. gününden itibaren, günde iki kez dört gün süresince azalan dozlarda FSH enjeksiyonları uygulandı. Beşinci ve 6. FSH enjeksiyonları ile birlikte kloprostenol uygulamaları yapıldı.Grup II’ deki hayvanlara ise siklusun herhangi bir döneminde hCG uygulaması yapıldı. Bundan 7 gün sonra kloprostenol enjeksiyonu yapıldı. Östrus sonrası devam eden siklusun 7. günü buserelin enjeksiyonu yapıldı. PRID siklusun 9. günü yerleştirildi ve siklusun 14. günü çıkarıldı (6. FSH enjeksiyonu sırasında). Grup II’de FSH ve kloprostenol uygulamaları siklusun 12-15. günlerinde Grup I’ deki gibi yapıldı. Tüm inekler son FSH enjeksiyonundan sonra 12 saat ara ile üç kez tohumlandı. İkinci suni tohumlama ile eş zamanlı olarak buserelin enjeksiyonu yapıldı. İkinci tohumlama sonrası 7. günde embriyolar toplandı, morfolojilerine bağlı kalite ve gelişim evreleri değerlendirildi. Bu çalışmada donör başına sırasıyla Grup I ve Grup II’ de toplam CL (8.50±1.90 ve 9.40±1.52), toplam oosit ve embriyo (7.5±2.03 ve 7.0±1.61), toplam embriyo (6.00±2.00 ve 6.10±1.47), transfer edilebilir embriyo ı (5.50±1.84 ve 5.50±1.59), dejenere embriyo (0.50±0.22 ve 0.60±0.40) ve unfertilize oosit sayıları (1.60±0.97 ve 0.90±0.31) tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, iki protokol arasında embriyo sayısı ve kalitesi açısından istatistiksel olarak fark bulunamadı (P >0,05). Böylece çok sayıda donöre östrus takibine gerek duyulmadan sabit zamanlı süperovulasyona olanak sağladığından dolayı klasik süperovulasyon uygulamalarına alternatif bir yöntem olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Esta obra faz parte da pesquisa desenvolvida pelo meu orientando no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (PROFEPT – IFAP). Fazer de maneira correta e produtiva uma pós-graduação stricto sensu exige muito mais que perseverança e coragem. É um exercício quase lúdico de reaprender a olhar ao redor de si e questionar, como fazem tão naturalmente as crianças. É transformar esse questionamento nascido da curiosidade em uma pesquisa com design metodológico correto e efetivo.

Lepra gilt als Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Mycobacterium leprae auch bekannt als Hansen es Bacillus verursacht wird. Lepra ist nicht nur eine Krankheit mit allmählicher Evolution, sondern hängt auch von der Beziehung zwischen dem Parasiten und dem Wirt ab. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Zahl der Leprafälle in Brasilien zwischen 2010 und 2015 in Brasilien aufzuzeigen. Die Forschung wurde bei DATASUS (http://datasus.saude.gov.br/) durchgeführt. Mit dem Voranschreiten der öffentlichen Politik ging die Zahl der Krankheitsfälle in Brasilien zwischen 2010 und 2015 zurück. Es hat eine höhere Prävalenz bei Männern und die höchste Rate von Patienten ist in größeren Altersgruppen, d.h. bei Erwachsenen. Die Inkubationszeit der Krankheit (die zwischen 2 und 7 Jahren liegen kann). Vor diesem Grund können auf individueller Ebene mehrere Probleme ausgelöst werden, wie z. B. schwächende und psychische körperliche Beteiligungen. Um die Zahl der Krankheitsfälle im Land zu reduzieren und die Diagnose so früh wie möglich stellen zu können, sollten die klinischen Befunde und die für diesen Nachweis verfügbaren Tests analysiert werden.

The Pap smear (PCCU) is a gynecological examination performed in women in order to detect damage to the cervix. Changes can be observed as a tissue disorder that makes up it. The objective of this work is to show confirmed cases of cervical cancer in Brazil between 2010 and 2014. The research was conducted with data taken from DATASUS (http://datasus.saude.gov.br). When there is good performance to prevent a disease considered serious, the result is satisfactory and effective. Through the results obtained by analyzing the data between the years 2010 and 2014, respectively, it is concluded that over the years the search for the test gradually increased, but some aspects persisted, such as the shame of performing the pcc test, fear, pain, among others. However, the results showed a high rate of tests in the southeast region and a lower rate in the north, with low dissemination and little awareness for women in the northern region. Therefore, the dissemination, awareness and performance of the cytopathological examination is very important for the prevention of cervical cancer, which today is the leading cause of mortality among Brazilian women
Anestesia per conigli sottoposti a interventi chirurgici sperimentali: Rapporto di una serie di otto anestesie
Authors: Bedin Rafael Antonio Caldart , Schultz Maisa , Bedin Antonio
Published: December 2020

L’anestesia per animali da laboratorio è una questione di interesse biomedico e uno dei dilemmi più presenti nell’attuale dibattito bioetico. L’uso di agenti anestetici nella chirurgia sperimentale mira all’analgesia e al contenimento dell’animale, al fine di ottenere un ragionevole grado di rilassamento muscolare e produrre una sufficiente analgesia. Questa pratica richiede l’uso di protocolli per la somministrazione di dosi sicure ed efficienti. Otto conigli neozelandesi sono stati sottoposti a laparotomia dimostrando la disciplina della tecnica chirurgica del corso di medicina locale. Per i farmaci pre-anestetici, è stata utilizzata per via sottocutanea acepromazina 1 mg.kg-1 associata a ketamina 15 mg.kg-1 . L’anestesia è stata mantenuta con isoflurano e ossigeno sotto una maschera laringea in un sistema di anestesia Mapleson D e con respirazione spontanea. L’idratazione è stata eseguita con 10 ml.kg-1 di soluzione salina ogni ora. È stato utilizzato un materasso termico. Per il monitoraggio sono stati utilizzati stetoscopio precordiale, pulsossimetria e parametri clinici. Per l’eutanasia, ketamina 10 mg.kg-1 associata a cloruro di potassio 19,1% 1 ml.kg-1 è stata utilizzata per via endovenosa. Il peso medio dei conigli era di 2721,25 ± 275,01 grammi e la durata della procedura anestetica era di 120 ± 87 minuti. Discussione. Nell’anestesia a lungo termine, come la laparotomia, si raccomanda l’uso di farmaci pre-anestetici e quindi l’induzione dell’anestetico mediante la combinazione di agenti. Tuttavia, la gestione dell’anestesia richiede il monitoraggio per evitare che si verifichino dosi insufficienti o eccessive.
Religijne public relations – zarządzanie siecią eklezjotwórczych relacji i więzi
Authors: Jarosz Tadeusz
Published: December 2020

Problematyka religijnych public relations jest nieustannie pogłębiana. Dzięki temu wzrasta świadomość tego, jak ściśle mogą się wzajemnie zazębiać i przenikać konstytutywne elementy instytucji Kościoła oraz teorii i praktyki public relations. Te ostatnie mogą zatem być postrzegane jako składowa procesu eklezjotwórczego. Opracowanie odzwierciedla eklezjotwórczy potencjał public relations przez analizę działań mających na celu upowszechnianie orędzia religijnego, aktów kultu religijnego, aktywności dobroczynnej i charytatywnej.
