Published: December 2024

Η πανδημία της COVID-19 αμφισβήτησε την εμπιστοσύνη στην επιστήμη καθώς εμφανίστηκαν πλήθος ψευδοεπιστημονικών θεωριών και θεωριών συνομωσίας. Στην παρούσα μελέτη, όπου συμμετείχαν υποψήφιοι/ες εκπαιδευτικοί (Ν=565), ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό δήλωσε δισταγμό απέναντι στον εμβολιασμό, προβληματισμούς για την ασφάλεια των εμβολίων και σκεπτικισμό απέναντι στη κυβέρνηση. Ενώ οι φοιτητές/τριες δήλωσαν εμπιστοσύνη στην επιστήμη, εμφανίζουν δυσπιστία στις πρακτικές εφαρμογές της, όπως τα εμβόλια. Τα ευρήματα υπογραμμίζουν την διαφοροποίηση ανάμεσα στην επιστήμη ως θεσμό και την εμπιστοσύνη στις εφαρμογές της. Η προώθηση του επιστημονικού εγγραμματισμού, της κατανόησης της Φύσης της Επιστήμης και της αντιμετώπιση των γνωστικών προκαταλήψεων είναι καίρια σημεία για την αντιμετώπιση της ψευδοεπιστήμης. Η μελέτη των στάσεων των εκπαιδευτικών είναι σημαντική, καθώς έχουν καθοριστικό ρόλο.

Published: December 2024

Στην παρούσα έρευνα διερευνώνται τα μονοπάτια μάθησης μαθητών Γ’-Δ΄ Δημοτικού για τα αποτελέσματα που προκαλούν οι συγκλίνοντες φακοί στη διάδοση φωτός προερχόμενου από αυτόφωτα και ετερόφωτα αντικείμενα. Η έρευνα εφαρμόστηκε σε 4 μαθητές με τη χρήση του «Διδακτικού Πειράματος». Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι οι μαθητές αναγνωρίζουν τη σύγκλιση του φωτός ως μια διαδικασία που λαμβάνει χώρα διαμέσου ενός συγκλίνοντα φακού αλλά δυσκολεύονται τόσο να την αποδώσουν στο σχήμα του φακού όσο και να τη συσχετίσουν με τη δημιουργία ανεστραμμένων ειδώλων.

Η εργασία αυτή αποσκοπεί στη μελέτη των διδακτικών προσανατολισμών των εκπαιδευτικών και των διδακτικών πρακτικών που αυτοί αξιοποιούν κατά τη διδασκαλία των Φυσικών Επιστημών στο δημοτικό σχολείο. Μέσω παρατήρησης 177 διδασκαλιών (μαθημάτων) στις δύο τελευταίες τάξεις του δημοτικού σχολείου εντοπίστηκαν οι διδακτικοί προσανατολισμοί των εκπαιδευτικών και οι διδακτικές πρακτικές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν από τους εκπαιδευτικούς. Προέκυψε ότι οι διδακτικοί προσανατολισμοί των περισσότερων εκπαιδευτικών συνάδουν με «κατευθυνόμενες προσεγγίσεις» και οι διδακτικές πρακτικές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν συχνά είχαν ως βάση τη διάλεξη. Συνιστάται η εξοικείωση των εκπαιδευτικών με διερευνητικές προσεγγίσεις και με διδακτικές πρακτικές που έχουν ως βάση τη συζήτηση, μέσω προγραμμάτων επαγγελματικής ανάπτυξης.

Published: December 2024

The article reviews science education literature from 2005 to 2019, focusing on pedagogical foci in two European publication venues. Using the Didactic Focus Categorization (DFC) method, it analyses research trends in Greece compared to broader European patterns. The study reveals that the most-studied areas are the relationship between students and learning goals, along with the influence of teachers on this relationship. However, certain areas, such as teachers' characteristics and classroom dynamics, remain underexplored. These findings highlight opportunities for further research, particularly in underrepresented areas, which could inspire new research questions and educational improvements. By identifying gaps and trends, this work contributes to a more holistic understanding of science education and encourages a more balanced approach in future studies.
Εξοικείωση εκπαιδευτικών με προσεγγίσεις διαμορφωτικής αξιολόγησης στις Φυσικές Επιστήμες
Authors: Κωνσταντίνου Κωνσταντίνος
Published: December 2024

Η διαμορφωτική αξιολόγηση έχει αποκτήσει σημασία ως μηχανισμός παροχής έγκαιρης ανατροφοδότησης προς τις μαθήτριες και τους μαθητές, ενισχύοντας την εμπλοκή με τη μαθησιακή διαδικασία και την στήριξη και καθοδήγηση των προσπαθειών για επίτευξη πραγματικής μάθησης. Στο λειτουργικό πλαίσιο της διερώτησης, η διαμορφωτική αξιολόγηση αναδεικνύει μια σειρά παιδαγωγικών προκλήσεων σε σχέση με το τι αξιολογείται και με ποια σειρά, πώς να συλλεγεί έγκυρη και αξιόπιστη πληροφόρηση και πώς αυτή να παρουσιαστεί στην τάξη με σεβασμό για τις προσπάθειες των παιδιών και με έμφαση στα επόμενα βελτιωτικά βήματα προόδου. Για μια σειρά ετών, μελετήσαμε τις προσπάθειες εκπαιδευτικών που συμμετείχαν σε προγράμματα επαγγελματικής μάθησης σχεδιασμένα για προώθηση τεχνικών διαμορφωτικής αξιολόγησης και αντίστοιχο εμπλουτισμό των διδακτικών πρακτικών. Ο βασικός σκοπός της έρευνας εστίασε στη μελέτη της ανάπτυξης επαγγελματικής γνώσης σε σχέση με τη συλλογή πληροφόρησης μέσω τεχνικών διαμορφωτικής αξιολόγησης και την ερμηνεία και αξιοποίηση αυτών των δεδομένων από τους/τις εκπαιδευτικούς για παροχή γόνιμης ανατροφοδότησης προς τους συμμετέχοντες στη διδακτική-μαθησιακή διαδικασία. Τα ευρήματα από μεγάλης κλίμακας έρευνα αναδεικνύουν τη σημασία της ενδοσχολικής συνεργασίας και του σχολικού κλίματος για την ανταπόκριση των εκπαιδευτικών και την αφοσίωση στο στόχο της ουσιαστικής επαγγελματικής ανάπτυξης. Σημαντικές είναι και οι επιδράσεις των πεποιθήσεων των εκπαιδευτικών στη διαχείριση των αλληλεπιδράσεων με ερευνητές και στη διαχείριση της αλλαγής στις παιδαγωγικές πρακτικές. Οι ποιοτικές μελέτες που συνόδευσαν αυτή την προσπάθεια αναδεικνύουν τις στρατηγικές που έχουν μεγαλύτερη πιθανότητα να οδηγήσουν σε μετασχηματιστικές δράσεις, τη σημασία των εργαλείων αξιολόγησης και της συνάφειάς τους με το διδακτικό υλικό, και επίσης ενισχύουν το εύρημα για την αξία της συνεργασίας μεταξύ εκπαιδευτικών, τόσο εντός της σχολικής μονάδας όσο και στο πλαίσιο κοινοτήτων επαγγελματικής μάθησης και πρακτικής.
Syrianus’ critique of Aristotelian antiplatonism: general remarks
Authors: Terezis Christos
Published: December 2024

Focusing on the field of the History of Philosophy and specifically on the topic about the debate between realism and nominalism, in this article we attempt to investigate the passage of the critical commentary of Syrianus, the Neoplatonist philosopher, on the M, 1079A19-33 of Aristotle’s Metaphysica. Through this commentary, we have the chance to see how the Neoplatonic School of the fifth century approached the “ideological opponent” of the founder of the Academy, whose theories aims to preserve integral. Syrianus’ passage is significantly interesting, since it focuses on how Aristotle attempted to exercise critique on the Platonic theory of the “Ideas”. Through his comments, we face a Platonic reading of the Aristotelian critique, since the Neoplatonist commentator, following the approach of Plotinus and Iamblichus, moves in the context of ontological monism. Our article is structured by four sections, in which we pay attention on the consequences of his theoretical approach on the fields of Metaphysics, Cosmology and, partially, Epistemology, as well as how realism is metaphysically founded. The greatest conclusion that we draw is that he is fully conversant with the philosophical tradition and that he presents an excellent eclectic performance.
Ανάπτυξη μεθοδολογίας με τη χρήση miRNAs και κυκλοφορούντων καρκινικών κυττάρων στο αίμα, για την ανίχνευση πρωτοπαθούς και μεταστατικού ηπατοκυτταρικού καρκίνου (ΗΚΚ) σε πρώιμα στάδια σε ασθενείς με HBV ή HCV λοίμωξη

Published: December 2024

Οι κακοήθεις όγκοι στο ήπαρ εμφανίζονται συνήθως ως οζίδια στο ηπατικό παρέγχυμα. Σε ασθενείς με κίρρωση που παρουσιάζουν οζίδια, το ηπατοκυτταρικό καρκίνωμα διαγιγνώσκεται κυρίως με τη χρήση τεχνικών απεικόνισης με παρακολούθηση για 6 μήνες. Στόχος μας ήταν να προσδιορίσουμε μοριακές υπογραφές με βάση το προφίλ πρωτεϊνών, miRNA και κυκλοφορούντα καρκινικά κύτταρα (CTCς) που θα καθορίσουν και θα προβλέψουν την ανάπτυξη HΚΚ σε πολύ πρώιμα στάδια. Μέθοδοι: αίμα 89 ασθενών με ηπατοκυτταρικό καρκίνωμα (HΚΚ) (56 ασθενείς αντίστοιχης ηλικίας με προχωρημένο HΚΚ και 33 ασθενείς με πρώιμο HΚΚ), 28 HBV ή HCV θετικοί κιρρωτικοί ασθενείς χωρίς ένδειξη HΚΚ και 5 υγιείς μάρτυρες εξετάστηκαν για CTCs με ανοσοφθορισμό και qRT-PCR χρησιμοποιώντας τους δείκτες EPCAM, Vimentin, AFP και πρωτεΐνη Major Vault επιφανείας (sMVP). Ο ορός ασθενών εξετάστηκε επίσης για την παρουσία ενός συνόλου miRNA που εμπλέκονται στο HΚΚ (miR122, miR221, miR222, miR200a και miR200b) με qRT-PCR, καθώς και για πρωτεϊνικές υπογραφές με ανάλυση πρωτεόματος (LC / MS). Αποτελέσματα: 27/73 ασθενείς με προχωρημένο HΚΚ παρουσίασαν CTCs, με τους 10 στους 27 να παρουσιάζουν ενδείξεις μεσεγχυματικών ή ενδιάμεσων σταδίων CTCs (θετική βιμεντίνη ή/και sMVP). 4/33 ασθενείς με πρώιμο HCC και 3 από τους 28 κιρρωτικούς ασθενείς παρουσίασαν CTCs. Οι ασθενείς με HCC παρουσίασαν στατιστικά σημαντική μείωση στα miR-200a και miR-200b (p <0,05 και στις δυο περιπτώσεις) σε σύγκριση με τους κιρρωτικούς ασθενείς. Τέλος, η ανάλυση πρωτεόματος, χρησιμοποιώντας αυστηρά κριτήρια, έδειξε σημαντική αύξηση μιας γκάμας λιποπρωτεϊνών σε ασθενείς με πρώιμο HCC σε σύγκριση με τους κιρρωτικούς ασθενείς, Δύο εκ των οποίων, η APOA2 και η APOC3 συνδυαστικά, καλύπτουν το 100% των ασθενών με πρώιμο ΗΚΚ. Συμπεράσματα: H μελέτη αυτή καταδεικνύει την κλινική χρησιμότητα των mir-200a και miR-200b σε συνδυασμό με τις πρωτεΐνες APOA2 και APOC3 στον ορό, ως κλινικό εργαλείο για τον καθορισμό του πρώιμου ΗΚΚ.
From Korea to Croatia: the first record of the polyclad flatworm Notocomplana koreana in the Mediterranean
Authors: KAPELLER MAGDALENA A. , DITTMANN ISABEL L. , EGGER BERNHARD
Published: December 2024

Polyclads are large-bodied, free-living flatworms that occur in diverse marine habitats. They are known predators of crustaceans, ascidians, snails, bivalves, polychaetes, and other flatworms. The acotylean genus Notocomplana Faubel, 1983 currently comprises 32 species that primarily inhabit the Pacific but are also found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Here, we report the discovery of Notocomplana koreana (Kato, 1937) in the Mediterranean Sea. N. koreana was originally described from Korean and Japanese waters but was recently found to have expanded its range to the Atlantic. In this report, we shed light on the likely route of migration of N. koreana to the Mediterranean and discuss the challenges in identifying such an inconspicuous species. Through an integrative taxonomic approach, which merged morphological trait analysis using live animals and histology with a comparative genetic analysis of partial 28S ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcoding markers, we uncovered the characteristics of this introduced species and provide insights into its potential effect on Mediterranean ecosystems.
Η επίδραση των γονικών πρακτικών στη συμπεριφορά παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας, από την οπτική των γονέων

Published: December 2024

Ο τρόπος ανατροφής επιδρά στην ψυχοκοινωνική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών, στην καλλιέργεια φιλοκοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς και στην προσαρμογή τους στο ευρύτερο κοινωνικό περιβάλλον. Η παρούσα έρευνα είχε ως σκοπό τη διερεύνηση των επιδράσεων του γονικού τρόπου διαπαιδαγώγησης στην εκδήλωση δυσπροσαρμοστικών και φιλοκοινωνικών συμπεριφορών παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 215 γονείς (134 εξ αυτών ζευγάρια, στη συντριπτική τους πλειοψηφία 31-50 ετών) παιδιών ηλικίας 4-6 ετών και για τη συλλογή των δεδομένων αξιοποιήθηκε ηλεκτρονικό ερωτηματολόγιο (Ερωτηματολόγιο Τύπων Γονέων και Ερωτηματολόγιο Δυνατοτήτων και Δυσκολιών). Τα αποτελέσματα κατέδειξαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ μητέρων και πατέρων μόνο ως προς τον υποστηρικτικό γονικό τύπο. Επιπλέον, αναδείχθηκε ότι ο υποστηρικτικός τρόπος ανατροφής συνδέεται κυρίως με την επίδειξη φιλοκοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς, ενώ ο αυταρχικός και ο ανεκτικός με εξωτερικευμένα προβλήματα (υπερκινητικότητα ή/και διάσπαση προσοχής, προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς), με ορισμένες διαφοροποιήσεις ανάλογα με το φύλο του γονιού. Συνολικά, τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας  δείχνουν ότι για την αποτελεσματική ανατροφή και την πρόληψη εξωτερικευμένων και εσωτερικευμένων προβλημάτων στα παιδιά, η χρήση υποστηρικτικών τρόπων τόσο από τις μητέρες όσο και από τους πατέρες μπορεί να διαδραματίσει καθοριστικό ρόλο.
Exploring the relationship between young children’s self-concept and prosocial behaviour in the Greek Early Childhood Education and Care setting: A study on soft skills assessment
Authors: Vatou Athina , Vatou Anastasia , Tsitiridou-Evangelou Maria
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate young children’s perspectives of their self-concept and to examine its association with their prosocial behaviour. The psychometric properties of the Adaptive Social Behaviour Inventory (ASBI) in the Greek Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) context were also investigated. The study guided by the Social-Emotional Learning Framework that highlights the importance of the development of the soft skills in early years. The sample comprised 102 young children (Mage= 3.79 years, SDage= .20 years) and their teachers from nine ECEC settings. The measures used were the Adaptive Social Behaviour Inventory (ASBI) and the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance (PSPCSA). Results from factor analysis supported the four-factor structure of the ASBI and its high reliability: prosocial behaviour, co-operation/conformity, antisocial behaviour, and confidence. Findings showed that young children’s self-concept beliefs associated positively with the children’s prosocial behaviour. Collectively, the findings highlight the importance of supporting young children’s self-concept beliefs and their impact on children’s behaviour.

Published: December 2024

Climate change and ecological crises have become pressing matters to Europe and the world. In an attempt to put a halt to the massive production of packaging waste, the European Standardization Organisation (CENELEC) has developed harmonized standards to promote reuse, recycling, and other forms of recovering packaging waste. However, when implemented in the food and beverage industry, possible contaminants present in these recycled packaging materials could compromise public health. The present study is part of an ongoing research aiming to develop fast, simple, and reliable analytical methods to identify such contaminants in recycled materials intended to come in contact with foodstuffs. To this end, three extraction methods were developed and assessed regarding their effectiveness and accuracy in isolating a mixture of five possible contaminants [Benzophenone (BP), 2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DiPN), 2,7-Diisopropylnaphthalene (2,7-DiPN), o-Terphenyl (o-TPH), and m-Terphenyl (m-TPH)] in samples of recycled paperboard materials: the Soxtec Extraction (SE), the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), and the Head Space Solid Phase Micro Extraction (HS-SPME. The HS-SPME analysis, with the use of Polydimethylsiloxane/ Divinylbenzene SPME fiber, yielded the best analytical results compared to the other two. Accordingly, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) further supported these results.
THE EVOLUTION OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT
Authors: Mazharova Lina A.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the domestic and foreign history of the development of public-private partnership. Status of the issue:  According to the author, there is a certain limitation in the issue of periodization and analysis of the historical experience of PPP. The denial of continuity in the issue of PPP evolution makes it difficult to assess the significance of this phenomenon and identify prospects for its development.  In this regard, the purpose of the study is to analyze the domestic and foreign experience of cooperation between the state and private business structures, its periodization and identification of patterns of PPP development.
Materials and methods of research: analysis, historical-comparative and historical-systemic methods, as well as the method of actualization are chosen as methods. With their help, a consistent analysis of the forms of interaction between the state and private economic entities has been carried out, starting from the Ancient World and ending with the present.
 The results of the study: 1) PPP has a long history, but the basic goals of such cooperation, both for the state and for the "private entity" remained unchanged; 2) the history of PPP development has developed alternating periods of active development and "pauses", periods of development coincide with periods of structural adjustment in the economy; 3) our country has significant experience in the application of a public-private partnership that is not inferior to other countries. This experience can be taken into account when determining ways to further develop PPPs; 4) public-private partnerships cannot be built according to a single template, a variety of mechanisms corresponding to various tasks of public policy is necessary.
In this regard, the possibilities of using PPP to solve a number of medium- and long-term tasks of the economic policy of the Russian Federation are substantiated.
THE RATIONALE FOR DECISION-MAKING IN TRANSPORT POLICY BASED ON A MULTI-AGENT APPROACH: A CASE STUDY OF THE RUSSIAN TRANSPORT STRATEGY
Authors: Makarov Oleg N. , Abduryakhimova Elvira B. , D'yakova Polina S.
Published: December 2024

There are two main methods commonly used for decision-making: multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA).
The significance of this research lies in the fact that currently, the rationale behind the final decision in choosing among multiple options is often based solely on the anticipated financial and economic outcomes of the project. However, the project itself encompasses other strategic implications that are disregarded during the decision-making process. These include, but are not limited to, social, environmental, cultural, and natural consequences. This paper aims to propose a more comprehensive multi-criteria approach, providing a multi-agent solution for selecting from a diverse range of alternatives that align with national interests.
The objective of this research is to identify the most promising subproject within the scope of the national transport project, considering not only financial aspects but also other crucial factors such as social, cultural impacts, human capital development, the creation of a new environment, the emergence of fresh opportunities, and the dismantling of institutional obstacles.
The paper discusses two main methods used for decision-making in transportation policy: MCA and CBA. A practical experiment was conducted to select and rank promising sub-projects using T. Saaty's hierarchy analysis method, which takes into account the multi-agent approach to the development of transportation systems and their integration with state development in Russia. As part of the study, a practical experiment was conducted to select and rank promising subprojects using the T. Saati method of hierarchical analysis. Criteria for evaluating and prioritizing projects were developed, as well as new tools for future use in public administration of the transport industry.
Research methods and methodology included T. Saati's hierarchical analysis method, statistical analysis, specification, mathematical modeling, and statistical tests.
The main results of the study were the analysis of four existing promising projects: modernization of railway infrastructure, development of high-speed rail communication, modernization of automotive infrastructure, and development of inland waterway transport. Based on these projects, an applied multi-agent toolkit was proposed for decision-making in public transport administration. The results of the study can be used to inform decision-making processes in transport policy and to evaluate the effectiveness and economic feasibility of projects.
The study used methods such as multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to analyze various aspects of transport projects and make informed decisions about their implementation.
SUPPORT DISTRIBUTION TO AGRIBUSINESSES IN KRASNOYARSK KRAI
Authors: Seitov Sanat K.
Published: December 2024

The effectiveness of state support is affected not only by its structure by type, but also by its distribution among producers. In 2022, the 30 largest agribusinesses, receiving 46.3% of the total support, provide 58.3% of tax revenues in the AIC of Krasnoyarsk Krai, and their revenue is 28.6% of the volume of agricultural production in the region. The concentration ratio of support in Krasnoyarsk Krai is high: in 2022, it reaches 0.46, generally showing decrease in 2018-2022. The author calculates another indicator – Equal Distribution of Support Index: the higher it is, the greater the volume of revenue and tax revenues generated by recipients of budget funds. In Krasnoyarsk Krai, it shows positive dynamics, indicating both an increase in revenue and tax revenues among support recipients and expanded access of agribusinesses to support.
Purpose. To highlight the main trends in the distribution of support in the agro-industrial complex of Krasnoyarsk Krai and their impact on the performance of the industry.
Methodology. The article uses statistical analysis to study time series on support volumes, distribution among recipients, and their dynamics. Elements of financial statement analysis of companies receiving support are used.
Results. Data were obtained characterizing the degree of concentration and uniformity of distribution of support among the subjects of the agro-industrial complex in Krasnoyarsk Krai.
Practical implications. The results should be used by executive authorities when analyzing the distribution of support among entities of the agro-industrial complex in Krasnoyarsk Krai.

ARQUITECTURA INDUSTRIAL EN LAS PUBLICACIONES DE POSGUERRA DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA
Authors: Merí de la Maza Ricardo Manuel , Serra Soriano Bartolomé , Díaz Segura Alfonso
Published: December 2024

En los Estados Unidos de América después de la segunda guerra mundial la arquitectura industrial tenía un considerable peso específico en las revistas de arquitectura, que se correspondía con la realidad de la práctica profesional y con las demandas de la sociedad. La guerra supuso una demora y parálisis de las construcciones industriales civiles, pero su final permitió una actualización y expansión del tejido arquitectónico-industrial que conservó la descentralización promovida por las estrategias de seguridad bélica. Las publicaciones periódicas especializadas de la época son una fuente de información indispensable para recuperar los avances que se produjeron en esa década de posguerra y que siguen vigentes en lo que se refiere a arquitectura industrial. En estos años, en las revistas no van a primar los aspectos estéticos sino los avances organizativos, técnicos y tecnológicos. Las revistas de arquitectura se convirtieron en manuales técnicos con una clara función de transmisión al conjunto del colectivo. El artículo presenta una recopilación de las publicaciones más destacadas relacionadas con la arquitectura para la industria en las publicaciones de los EE.UU. posteriores a la segunda guerra mundial, desde 1945 hasta 1949.

DIEGO PERIS SÁNCHEZ: MIGUEL FISAC. ARQUITECTURAS PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN Y LA INDUSTRIA
Authors: Arques Soler Francisco
Published: December 2024

El libro Miguel Fisac. Arquitecturas para la Investigación y la Industria, recoge los proyectos destinados a la industria y la investigación realizados por Miguel Fisac. Cuenta con abundante información gráfica y escrita, alguna de ella inédita, y con comentarios del propio Fisac sobre su obra. La publicación es un intento de poner en valor una arquitectura industrial, considerada como menor, que explora, desde un material como el hormigón armado, un camino experimental desde el campo de la prefabricación y la industrialización. En el libro se recogen edificios poco conocidos a los que Fisac les otorga una condición humanizada para albergar tanto a hombres como a maquinas. Ejemplos como la Fábrica de Correctores de Piensos BIOTER (1965), la Central Hidroeléctrica de bombeo de Ibón de IP en Canfranc (1965), la Rectificadora Gallega en La Coruña (1966), las fábricas de las empresas Colomer Mummany S.A. en Vich (1967), Baumann también en Vich (1967) y Máximo Mor en Montmeló (1967), la fábrica de Piensos Compuestos BIOTER-BIONA. S. A. en Santander (1972), o la fábrica La Veneciana en Villaverde (Madrid), proyectada en 1976, desvelan esa dependencia entre materia y forma, que en Fisac es todo un ejemplo de coherencia constructiva

Ozone therapy as a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Filho Markinokoff Lima e Silva , Paggiaro André Oliveira , Fernandes de Carvalho Viviane , Gemperli Rolf
Published: December 2024

Objective:

Studies have suggested that ozone therapy stimulates antioxidant enzyme expression and activity, regulates growth factor production, increases local blood flow and provides antibacterial protection. We sought to analyse the evidence related to the use of ozone therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

Method:

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using published clinical trials indexed in the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases up to December 2020. Outcomes analysed included: number of ulcers cured; ulcer area reduction; length of hospital stay; changes in blood glucose levels; antioxidant activity; and number of amputations.

Results:

Initially, 61 studies were identified; however, only six met all of the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the final sample. It was found that patients receiving ozone therapy displayed higher rates of healing (i.e., healed ulcers), shorter hospital stays, increased catalase activity and reduced blood glucose levels. There was an observed increase in the number of ulcers healed; however, there was a considerable risk of bias in the studies evaluated.

Conclusion:

Although many studies have suggested ozone therapy as a promising candidate in the treatment of DFUs, further research is required, with a better scientific outline, to validate the results.
Unusual ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome presentation: Pleural effusion without ascites. A case report
Authors: Solsona Íngrid , Peralta Sara , Barral Yasmina , Fàbregues Francisco , Giménez-Bonafé Pepita
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a life-threatening complication that can occur in the luteal phase or early pregnancy after controlled ovarian stimulation. This case report highlights a unique manifestation of OHSS involving pleural effusion (PE) in a patient without identifiable risk factors.

CASE SUMMARY

A 39-year-old woman who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle experienced dyspnea on the eleventh day of post oocyte retrieval. The diagnosis was severe OHSS with a unique manifestation of PE without ascites. Clinical management involved fluid balance and treatment with albumin, furosemide, thromboembolic prophylaxis, and thoracentesis. A continued drainage of the pleural cavity was performed. The patient had a favorable outcome, and a dichorionic diamniotic gestation passed without incident.

CONCLUSION

OHSS and its potential complications can include respiratory distress and PE, as well as thromboembolic disorders.
Transient extreme insulin resistance in a critically ill patient: A case report
Authors: Wei Xiu-Yu , Shen Hsiu-Nien
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Acute hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance is common in critically ill patients, typically managed with insulin infusion. However, the occurrence of transient extreme insulin resistance (EIR) requiring exceptional high-dose insulin is rare.

CASE SUMMARY

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman with pneumonia who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, subsequently developing transient EIR following a new episode of sepsis. Remarkably, insulin resistance rapidly reversed when the insulin infusion rate peaked at 960 units/hour (a total of 18224 units on that day), and it was promptly titrated down to zero upon achieving the target glucose level.

CONCLUSION

Exceptional high-dose insulin infusion may be required in critically ill patients with stress-related EIR, which is typically transient. Clinicians should be aware of the phenomenon and cautious to avoid hypoglycemia and fluid overload during the steep titration of high-dose insulin infusion.
Latest developments in arthroplasty for hip fractures
Authors: Kennedy Ian W. , Meek R. M. D.
Published: December 2024

Hip fractures pose a major global health challenge, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality, particularly among the elderly. With an ageing population, the incidence of these injuries is rising, exerting significant pressure on healthcare systems worldwide. Despite substantial research aimed at establishing best practice, several key areas remain the subject of ongoing debate. This article examines the latest evidence on the place of arthroplasty in the surgical treatment of hip fractures, with a particular focus on the choice of implant, the use of cemented versus uncemented fixation, and advances in perioperative care.

Can blood flow restriction therapy improve quality of life and function in dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients?
Authors: Stroobant Lenka , Jacobs Ewoud , Arnout Nele , Van Onsem Stefaan , Tampere Thomas , Burssens Arne , Witvrouw Erik , Victor Jan
Published: December 2024

Aims

Approximately 10% to 20% of knee arthroplasty patients are not satisfied with the result, while a clear indication for revision surgery might not be present. Therapeutic options for these patients, who often lack adequate quadriceps strength, are limited. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of a novel rehabilitation protocol that combines low-load resistance training (LL-RT) with blood flow restriction (BFR).

Methods

Between May 2022 and March 2024, we enrolled 45 dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients who lacked any clear indication for revision to this prospective cohort study. All patients were at least six months post-surgery and had undergone conventional physiotherapy previously. The patients participated in a supervised LL-RT combined with BFR in 18 sessions. Primary assessments included the following patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs): Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS); Knee Society Score: satisfaction (KSSs); the EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L); and the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS). Functionality was assessed using the six-minute walk Test (6MWT) and the 30-second chair stand test (30CST). Follow-up timepoints were at baseline, six weeks, three months, and six months after the start.

Results

Six weeks of BFR with LL-RT improved all the PROMs except the sports subscale of the KOOS compared to baseline. Highest improvements after six weeks were found for quality of life (QoL) (mean 28.2 (SD 17.2) vs 19 (SD 14.7); p = 0.002), activities of daily living (mean 54.7 (SD 18.7) vs 42.9 (SD 17.3); p < 0.001), and KSSs (mean 17.1 (SD 8.8) vs 12.8 (SD 6.7); p < 0.001). PROMs improvements continued to be present at three-month and six-month follow-up compared to baseline. However, no significant differences were observed in the paired comparisons of the six-week, three-month, and six-month follow-up. The same trends are observed for the 6MWT and 30CST.

Conclusion

The reported regime demonstrates improved QoL and function of dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients. In light of this, the pathway described may provide a valuable and safe treatment option for dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients for whom therapeutic options are limited.

Acute Lisfranc injury management
Authors: Poutoglidou Freideriki , van Groningen Bart , McMenemy Louise , Elliot Robin , Marsland Daniel
Published: December 2024

Lisfranc injuries were previously described as fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joints. With advancements in modern imaging, subtle Lisfranc injuries are now more frequently recognized, revealing that their true incidence is much higher than previously thought. Injury patterns can vary widely in severity and anatomy. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to achieve good outcomes. The original classification systems were anatomy-based, and limited as tools for guiding treatment. The current review, using the best available evidence, instead introduces a stability-based classification system, with weightbearing radiographs and CT serving as key diagnostic tools. Stable injuries generally have good outcomes with nonoperative management, most reliably treated with immobilization and non-weightbearing for six weeks. Displaced or comminuted injuries require surgical intervention, with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) being the most common approach, with a consensus towards bridge plating. While ORIF generally achieves satisfactory results, its effectiveness can vary, particularly in high-energy injuries. Primary arthrodesis remains niche for the treatment of acute injuries, but may offer benefits such as lower rates of post-traumatic arthritis and hardware removal. Novel fixation techniques, including suture button fixation, aim to provide flexible stabilization, which theoretically could improve midfoot biomechanics and reduce complications. Early findings suggest promising functional outcomes, but further studies are required to validate this method compared with established techniques. Future research should focus on refining stability-based classification systems, validation of weightbearing CT, improving rehabilitation protocols, and optimizing surgical techniques for various injury patterns to ultimately enhance patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND Local tissue immunity plays a significant role in anogenital warts’ (AGW) pathomechanism and persistence. Assessing biomarkers from lesions instead of serum is recommended to evaluate therapeutic response. Since biopsy is invasive, it is necessary to find less invasive and more comfortable methods. This study aimed to assess the reliability of cotton swabs and tape stripping for evaluating AGW’s lesions biomarkers.
METHODS We compared cotton swab versus tape stripping method to quantify nuclear factor-κappaB (NF-ĸB), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and FOXP3+regulatory T cell (FOXP3+Treg) from 3 patients with AGW in the preliminary study. The method was selected based on contamination possibility, side effects, and a simpler approach. The main study examined 48 patients with AGW for reliability and reproducibility using the best sampling method from preliminary result and Spearman’s Rho analysis, while considering the HIV status and CD4+ counts.
RESULTS Both cotton swabs and tape stripping obtained adequate protein content for biomarkers examination. However, the tape stripping method was causing serum contamination and painful for patients due to the stripping. The total lesion volume in cotton swab method was positively correlated with all patients’ NF-ĸB (p = 0.001). IFN-γ had a negative correlation in all reactive HIV patients (p = 0.012). FOXP3+Treg and CD4+ counts were negatively correlated with total volume in reactive HIV patients (p = 0.046 and 0.017, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS The cotton swab method was reliable in examining NF-ĸB, IFN-γ, and FOXP3+Treg due to its convenience and lack of serum contamination from AGW lesions, potentially improving patient comfort and practical benefits.
Eochaid Éolach and the Transmission of the Dindṡenchas of Loch Garman
Authors: Mcmullen A. Joseph , Darwin Gregory R.
Published: December 2024

Following recent work that has begun to reassess previously held views about the recensions of Dinds.enchas Érenn, this article examines the authorship and transmission history of the dinds.enchas of Loch Garman, which exists in two prose versions and one verse composition. We first argue that the verse dind‑
s.hencas of Loch Garman is the product of a single author, Eochaid Éolach úa Céirín, refuting Tomás Ó Concheanainn’s assertion that Eochaid composed only the second half of the poem. We then examine the individual versions of the dinds.enchas of Loch Garman to posit a new relative chronology, with potential ramifications for an understanding of the recensions of the Dinds.enchas.
Lost Love in the Jazz Age A Comparative Analysis of Hemingway’s Three International Divorces
Authors: Boyes Patrice , Esq. Esq
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Ernest Miller Hemingway was divorced from three wives in three countries over an eighteen-year period from 1927 to 1945. Despite liberalizing divorce laws, Hemingway constructed increasingly brazen fables to segue from one wife to another, culminating in misrepresenting his third wife’s residency status to the Cuban divorce court. His glibness in the post-war period is confirmed in the alienation of old friends who rejected his grim, chest-beating war stories and sealed one Hemingway letter for fifty years to protect his reputation.
SportsCenter ’s “Top 10 Plays” Still Dunks on the National Hockey League
Authors: Saks Jeremy , Yanity Molly
Published: December 2024

Abstract: This study follows up on previous research examining how ESPN’s SportsCenter utilized its “Top 10 Plays” segment as an agenda-setting tool to highlight its own properties. However, since that original research was conducted, ESPN’s broadcast rights have changed. The current study compares the NBA and NHL to see how SportsCenter ranked the plays from each league. The findings illustrate that ESPN is more likely to highlight its own properties, but their properties are not fully setting the agenda, as the NBA is still more represented than the NHL, despite ESPN holding some broadcast rights for both leagues.
Jeanne de Bourbon, Reader of the Grandes Chroniques de France
Authors: Kaplan S.C.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: This annotation presents the discovery of a woman's name inscribed in the margins of BnF fr. 2611, a Grandes chroniques de France . It compares the signatures of two women with ties to the French aristocratic house of Bourbon, Jeanne de France and Jeanne de Bourbon, in order to argue that the signature in BnF fr. 2611 can be linked to the latter rather than the former. It then briefly explores how this new information resituates Jeanne de Bourbon as a reader and how it calls scholars to reevaluate material signs of use that might previously have been dismissed as insignificant.
Interpenetration on the Field of Śūnyatā: Nishitani and Buddhist Metaphysics
Authors: Qin Qianyi
Published: December 2024

Interpenetration, a central idea in Huayan Buddhist metaphysics, is commonly understood as the mutual dependence of all things. However, in Religion and Nothingness, Keiji Nishitani proposes that while everything is interdependent, each entity is also absolutely independent. Furthermore, Nishitani attributes a "non-objective" mode of being to entities in interpenetration. These tensions between dependence and independence, and objecthood and non-objecthood, reveal the uniqueness of Nishitani’s view and the limitations in the traditional understanding of interpenetration. This paper explores these tensions within Nishitani, contrasts Nishitani’s approach to interpenetration with both the common view and Fazang’s view, addresses Nishitani’s treatment of contradictory utterances, and reflects on the relation between metahpysics and ethics in Buddhist philosophy.
Modern Femmes d’esprit , or Les Rieuses of the Belle Époque
Authors: Morgan Cheryl A.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Part of a larger project that traces the comic and humorous in French women’s writing from Delphine de Girardin to Colette, this article asks what happens to the femme d’esprit in the Belle Époque. While her fortunes diminished as the century came to a close, her myth still loomed large in the cultural imaginary even as actresses, singers and demi-mondaines featured more prominently in gay Paris. At the same time, the rieuse , a less familiar figure of the Belle Époque gaiety than the diseuse, for example, seems to take Paris by storm. Powerful symbols of elite and popular Paris respectively, the femme d’esprit and the rieuse were real women as well and contributed to the Belle Époque’s vaunted “esprit français.” The zones in which they wield their wit become porous, allowing them to cross paths, overlap, and even merge. Elastic and ambiguous, both terms enter into dialogue as I consider a modern femme d’esprit , Daniel Darc (Marie Régnier (1840–87), who first drew critical attention with her 1878 one-act comedy, Les Rieuses , and the Club des Rieuses, a women-only dinner association formed by a group of Paris actresses.
