Anatomy is a fundamental subject for both medical and surgical training. Anatomy departments might collaborate with clinicians organizing continuing medical education (CME) and other professional development courses. The courses should have a large practical component (in content and organization) but also should provide the latest scientifically based theoretical knowledge, respecting the learning of anatomy as well as aiming at performing different techniques. Anatomy departments should support these courses by establishing hands-on practical training courses and components.

Sars-Cov 2 viral infection can cause an intense inflammatory reaction, hypoxemia and acute respiratory failure. The disease spreads more easily in chronic comorbidities, such as sickle cell anemia and overweight. Among the various professionals involved in the recovery of patients with Covid-19, the role of the physiotherapist stands out, not only for acting in the management of the disease but also for preventing and rehabilitating the respiratory deficiencies and the functional limitations caused by it. The present report aims to elucidate the multidisciplinary work carried out in the patient with overweight and sickle cell anemia during the period of hospitalization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit by Covid-19. This is an observational, longitudinal single-arm case report. The patient’s medical data collection was carried out retrospectively through record, including anamnesis reports, physical examination, and multi-professional procedures used from admission to discharge, including anamnesis reports, physical examination, and multi-professional procedures used from admission to discharge. The present study is a rare case of pediatric Covid-19 with severe signs and symptoms. The treatment performed by the multidisciplinary team resulted in a favorable outcome since the beginning of hospitalization. Physiotherapy, including early mobilization and rehabilitation may help prevent or mitigate sequelae related to bed rest, thus improving physical function and outcomes and reducing length of stay by increasing ventilator free-days.
"Analytical Model of Pulse Amplification in Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier "
Authors: Naser Nour. A. , Harb Muhammed. R. , Yasser Hassan A.
Published: June 2021

"Doping a part of the optical fiber core by (Er3+ ) ions in presence of external pumping power will lead to form the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA).The performance of this optical amplifier depends on (the power and the wavelength of the pumping laser, the power and wavelength of the input signal, amplifier length, ion concentration). These parameters will affect the characteristics of EDFA such as amplifier gain, gain saturation, noise figure and output power. However, these characteristics can be determined by solving the EDFA propagation and rate equations. The solution of these equations of two-level laser medium can be done numerically. In this paper, we are proposed a novel method to solve these equations. The reconstructed results are perfectly coincided the well known numerical results.

Subjetividade, Individuação e Escrita de Si
Authors: Ragusa Pedro , Do Santos Oliva Alfedo
Published: June 2021

A escrita de si – conceito que oferece significado para um gênero narrativo em que um narrador em primeira pessoa se identifica explicitamente como o autor biográfico – se delineia como um exercício literário típico da modernidade. Nessa pesquisa a abordagem teórica de Michel Foucault sobre as práticas de si foi correlacionada ao campo teórico definido por Carl Gustav Jung sobre sua subjetividade autobiografada. Para objetivar a subjetividade através da escrita de si, a problemática dessa pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o seguinte objetivo: estabelecer a aproximação e o confronto entre dois campos teóricos que mobilizaram de maneira específica o tema da subjetividade a partir de um diálogo entre Michel Foucault e Carl Gustav Jung.
Psicanálise, hermenêutica e o problema do sentido
Authors: Mendes Breno
Published: June 2021

Nesse artigo realizo uma reflexão sobre a leitura filosófica da psicanálise de Sigmund Freud desenvolvida por Paul Ricoeur, especialmente no que diz respeito ao problema do sentido e às suas implicações para o fenômeno da história. Para tanto, lanço mão da hermenêutica como método e me concentro na obra Da interpretação: ensaios sobre Freud de 1965, a fim de compreender as possíveis analogias identificadas por Ricoeur entre a abordagem psicanalítica e o trabalho hermenêutico. Além disso, realizo uma contraposição entre a apropriação ricoeuriana de Freud e a interpretação feita por Lacan. Por fim, investigo a dialética elaborada por Ricoeur entre a arqueologia do sujeito de Freud e a teleologia da consciência de Hegel.
Histórias entrelaçadas e territórios sobrepostos
Authors: Goldman Elisa
Published: June 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as aproximações teóricas entre os autores Edward W.  Said e Frantz Fanon no que tange o convívio entre um lugar de fala pós-colonial revestido de questionamentos acerca dos binarismos identitários e a busca por um ethos nacional no contexto da luta anti colonial. Identificamos como marcos de aproximação na démarche teórica de Said e Fanon reflexões acerca do problema da historicidade nas narrativas nacionais, o problema epistemológico da representação do colonizado entrelaçado com o colonizador, o que pode se desdobrar na desestabilização ontológica da alteridade.
Examining the Relationship between Consumer Brand Relationships and Brand Evangelism
Authors: Mishra Mukesh Kumar , Kesharwani Ankit , Gautam Vikas
Published: June 2021

It is a well-known fact now that consumers falsify profound and meaningful relationships with particular brands and that such consumer brand relationships are expected to impact brand-related behavior of consumers. The study investigates the influence of three consumer-brand relational constructs - brand trust, brand affect and brand identification – and their effects on brand evangelism behavior, which was operationalized in the form of two supportive behaviors namely; purchase intentions and positive referrals. After assessing common method bias as well as reliability and validity estimates, structural equation modelling was employed with 458 sample data to test the study model fit and hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that the consumer-brand relationship influences brand evangelism. All consumer-brand relational constructs (i.e., brand trust, brand affect and brand identification) influence brand evangelism positively in terms of purchase intention and brand referral. The study highlights the importance of brand evangelism in the marketing literature by establishing its causal relationships with the key brand attributes of brand affect, brand trust and brand evangelism. Implications of the results are deliberated with future scope for research.

Published: June 2021

Arsha is a gift of modern diets and busy lifestyles & many people are suffering from some sort of Anorectal disorder. It may be simple constipation to complex carcinoma, in which prominent disorder is Arsha. Derangement of Jatharagni leading to vitiation of Tridosha, mainly vata dosha these vitiated Doshas get localized in Gudavali and Pradhana dhamani which further vitiates Twak, Mamsa, and Meda Dhatus leads to development of Arsha.  The perianal skin is most pain sensitive, due to rich nerve endings. Hence even a mild form of disorder can produce great discomfort to the patient. On the basis of observation and statistics we got positive response for this parameters Malabaddhata 23 (71.88%), Abhishyandiahar 23 (71.88%), Guruahar 27 (84.38%), Diwaswap 18 (56.25%), Adhyashana 27 (84.38%), Prushtayana 29 (90.63%), Vegavidharana 32 (100%), Shavathu 24 (75%), Mamsashotha 19 (59.38%), Siragranthi 26 (81.25%), Amlika 21 (65.62%), Paridaha 18 (56.25%), Atop 28 (81.25%), Antrakujan 22 (68.76%), Gudaparikartan 32 (100%). In histopathology report we found fibromuscular tissue, stratified squamous epithelium, dilated and congested blood vessels which is the moolsthana of mamsavaha strotas. That means mamsavaha strotas dusti is co related with bahya arsha. This shows that there is significant correlation of origin of Bahya Arsha from Mamsavaha strotas dushti.

Bleichmar, Gardner y Piaget. Apreciaciones sobre la inteligencia
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Villa María, Civarolo María Mercedes , Amblard de Elía Susana , Cartechini Silvia
Published: June 2021

La polisemia y la multiplicidad de enfoques existentes respecto del estudio de la inteligencia, demuestran dicha complejidad, así como también, el tesoro que encierra su riqueza, la que se convierte en un potencial invalorable para pensar problemáticas referidas a los ámbitos pedagógicos y/o clínicos. En este momento, asistimos a una división en la comunidad científica de la inteligencia entre aquellos que avanzan hacia descripciones sociales y culturales y aquellos que se esfuerzan en reunir evidencias acerca de sus fundamentos neurológicos y genéticos. A nuestro entender, estas dos tradiciones no se oponen necesariamente. Por el contrario, si pudiésemos abrir nuestra mente al aporte de miradas diversas quizás lograríamos no caer en la partición del sujeto que aprende. De esto trata este libro que estudia tres líneas teóricas paradigmáticas y cuyos enfoques respectivos han sido considerados históricamente disímiles si no contrarios. Nos referimos a las teorías Psicoanalítica de Bleichmar, de las Inteligencias Múltiples de Gardner y Genética de Piaget. Nuestra hipótesis es que existen puntos de encuentro y diferencias entre las mismas, que deben ser estudiadas y puntualizadas en beneficio del campo de la clínica y la educación.

Authors: Талалай Татьяна Олеговна , Лебедева Мария Григорьевна , Крымская Ольга Владимировна , Крымская Анна Александровна
Published: June 2021

Уровень загрязнения атмосферного воздуха в городах формируется под влиянием объемов выбросов стационарных и передвижных источников, рассеивающей способности атмосферы в конкретный период, физико-географических особенностей местности. Современные климатические условия характеризуются тем, что неблагоприятные метеоусловия, способствующие накоплению примесей в атмосфере (НМУ) отмечаются в теплое время года – 68,9 % из них зафиксировано с апреля по август. За исследуемый период (2009–2018 гг.) в изменении метеорологических характеристик, определяющих процесс накопления поллютантов в атмосфере города, отмечен лишь один статистически значимый тренд (на уровне 95 %), характеризующий уменьшение повторяемости слабых ветров. В условиях антициклональной погоды при формировании НМУ в Белгороде были отмечены случаи превышения ПДКс.с. взвешенных веществ. 87 % случаев превышения ПДКс.с. зарегистрированы с апреля по октябрь, из них 29 % пришлись на октябрь. Наибольшая концентрация взвешенных веществ зафиксирована в 2018 году – 1,39 ПДК. За этот же период в периоды НМУ в Белгороде было отмечено 45 случаев превышения ПДКс.с. диоксида азота. 82 % случаев превышения ПДКс.с. зарегистрированы с апреля по октябрь, из них 22 % пришлись на октябрь. Наибольшая концентрация зафиксирована в 2014 г. – 1,31 ПДК. В дни НМУ концентрация аммиака по г. Белгороду в 2013–2015 гг. превысила ПДК в 8 случаях. Наибольшая концентрация была отмечена в 2015 г. – 1,11 ПДК. В последующие годы превышений ПДК по аммиаку не отмечалось, причиной чего является закрытие завода лимонной кислоты. Для оценки влияния циклональных условий погоды на концентрации примесей загрязняющих веществ был проанализирован уровень загрязнения воздуха в Белгороде в дни с интенсивными осадками (> 10 мм за сутки). Анализ статистических связей между концентрациями загрязняющих веществ и метеорологическими параметрами в период выпадения интенсивных осадков позволил выявить среднюю корреляционную зависимость между содержанием взвешенных веществ и направлением ветра (r = 0,55), слабую корреляцию между концентрацией оксида углерода и направлением ветра, коэффициент корреляции (r = 0,48); высокая корреляционная связь с отрицательным значением прослеживается между скоростью ветра и аммиаком: коэффициент корреляции (r = –0,72).

Thus, it was concluded that taste masked mouth dissolving tablets of Ondansetron HCl could be successfully formulated by direct compression methods using 6% Kollidon CL-SF as water insoluble super-disintegrant that can effectively provide quick onset of action by eliminating need of administration of entire dosage form.
Board-Level Codetermination in Germany - The Importance and Economic Impact of Fiduciary Duties
Authors:   Institute for Labour Law and Industrial Relations in the European Union – Trier University, Sadowski Dieter
Published: June 2021

The empirical accounts of the costs and benefits of quasi-parity codetermined supervisory boards, a very special German institution, have long been inconclusive. A valid economic analysis of a particular legal regulation must take the legal specificities seriously, otherwise it will be easily lost in economic fictions of functional equivalence. At its core the corporate actor “supervisory board” has no a priori objective function to be maximised – the corner stone of the theory of the firm – but its objective function will only be brought about a posteriori – should negotiations result in an agreement (E. Fraenkel). With this understanding,the paper presents six recent quasi-experimental studies on the economic (dis) advantageousness of the German codetermination laws that try to follow the rules of causal inference despite the lack of random variation. By and large they refute the hold-up model of codetermination by showing positive or nonnegative effects even on shareholder wealth – and a far-reaching improvement of the well-being of the core workforce. In conclusion, indications are offered that the shareholder primacy movement has only weakened, but not dissolved the “Deutschland AG”.
A Rule That Bends: Aristotle on Pathos and Equity
Authors: Barr Timothy
Published: June 2021

Aristotle says in the Rhetoric that leading judges into passions is like warping a rule or kanon before using it. Rather than seeing this as an exclusion of emotion from rhetoric, I argue that the ability for the pathe to bend judgment has its appropriate use in achieving equity. The pathe are themselves a kanon, resembling the soft, leaden rule used by Lesbian masons, referred to in his discussion of equity in the Nicomachean Ethics. In problematic cases, the rigidity of law requires the correction of a judge's pathetic capacity. I then read Lysias's Against Simon, a speech given under strict relevancy requirements, to show how the pathe are used in the narration of the accused party in seeking an equitable judgment. I conclude with how such a view may inform contemporary rhetorical inquiry on the emotions.

The Spirit and the Church

In what way is the Holy Spirit present in the life of the church? Questions of ecclesiology and pneumatology have traditionally divided denominations. Today these questions are at the centre of renewed ecumenical rapprochement. This article presents the contribution of the classic study on Martin Luther’s pneumatology,Spiritus Creator (1946), by the Danish theologian Regin Prenter (1907–1990). One basic insight in Prenter’s interpretation of Luther is the Spirit’s role of conveying the real presence of Christ in the life of the believer. This also means that the Spirit conveys the experience of Christ. As a Lutheran, Prenter underlines the role of word and sacrament as the tool of transmitting the Spirit. This does not mean that the Spirit is limited to word and sacrament, as an institutionally oriented reading of the Augsburg Confession may advocate. A pneumatologically oriented ecclesiology inspired by Prenter’s reading of Luther may open new possibilities for a “re-ceptive ecumenism”, including insights from Pentecostal and Charismatic theology in a Lutheran context.
Uniportal thoracoscopic surgery for difficult late stage empyema: Case series
Authors: Dantis Klein
Published: June 2021

Early, aggressive, and minimally invasive approach is an advanced surgical approach for chronic empyema management. The traditional video-assisted technique is considered superior over open thoracotomy for empyema management; however, with further modification, the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) has greater advantage for surgeons, providing better anatomical view of target tissues, allowing bimanual instrumentation similar to open approach, and nullifying the creation of dihedral angle by instruments that are not favorable in traditional VATS. The present case series describes different clinical scenarios including chronic empyema secondary to traumatic hemothorax, recurrent tubercular empyema following postoperative open decortication, and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus chronic empyema in pediatric patient, which are effectively managed with UVATS approach.

Importancia del aprendizaje significativo en la construcción de conocimientos
Authors: Roa Rocha Julio César
Published: June 2021

El siguiente artículo presenta una revisión bibliográfica sobre el aprendizaje significativo, propuesto por David Ausubel, en la que se describe su significado, naturaleza, y características, con el objetivo de analizar su valor en la educación superior. Igualmente, se explican las características de un material de aprendizaje potencialmente significativo, tipos de aprendizajes significativos y la adquisición del conocimiento. Se parte de la premisa de que el aprendizaje significativo surge cuando el alumno, como constructor de su propio conocimiento, relaciona los conceptos a aprender y les da un sentido a partir de la estructura conceptual que ya posee. De este modo, construye nuevos conocimientos al relacionar los conceptos nuevos con la experiencia que ya tiene. Este artículo aborda de manera particular la pertinencia de este tipo de aprendizaje aplicado a la educación superior, específicamente a la UNAN MANAGUA. Con tal fin, se aplicó la investigación documental, como una técnica de investigación cualitativa, exploratoria y analítica para la recolección de información relevante sobre la importancia del aprendizaje significativo en la construcción de conocimientos, de este modo se recopiló y seleccionó información mediante la lectura de documentos, libros, revistas, periódicos, bibliografías, etc. Se llegó a la conclusión de que el aprendizaje significativo es un reto y una oportunidad para la construcción de los nuevos saberes, lo que implica la necesidad de cambios estructurales en la educación superior para cualificar a los futuros profesionales con actitud crítica, propositiva y reflexiva.

This study was designed to assess the impact of a dietetic intervention on MetS characteristics of patients attending the Diet Therapy Clinic at Tema General Hospital, Ghana.

METHODOLOGY: A prospective pre-post single-arm intervention study was conducted among 168 participants who had been diagnosed with MetS and were referred to the Diet Therapy Clinic for dietetic intervention. Data on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fasting blood glucose (FBG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), serum triglyceride (TG), and blood pressure (BP) were collected at baseline and after three months of receiving a dietetic intervention.

RESULTS: The MetS measures (BMI, WC, FBG, HDL and TG) of the patients improved at the end of the three months period (32.9 kg/m2 vs 31.7 kg/m2, p = 0.001; 101.2 cm vs 98.9 cm, p = 0.001; 11.0 mmol/L vs 7.7 mmol/L, p = 0.001; 1.1 mmol/L vs 1.2 mmol/L, p = 0.001; 2.0 mmol/L vs 1.9 mmol/L, p = 0.001 respectively). There were improvements in the mean systolic and diastolic BP values recorded after the three months (153 mmHg vs 131 mmHg, p = 0.001 and 98 mmHg vs 85 mmHg, p = 0.001 respectively).

CONCLUSION: Dietetic intervention was found to have improved the MetS characteristics of patients.
Ultrasonic Scattering Attenuation in Nodular Cast Iron: Experimental and Simulation Studies
Authors: Santos Mário João , Santos Jaime Batista
Published: June 2021

This work evaluates the ultrasonic scattering attenuation of structures with complex scatterer distributions via experimental and simulation studies. The proposed approach uses experimental attenuation knowledge to infer the scatterer size and its concentration in the studied structures, which are important for the effective construction of simulated models. The MATLAB k-Wave toolbox has been used to implement the simulator. Several cast-iron samples have been used to demonstrate the importance of simulation in the characterization of such structures. First, the scattering attenuation was evaluated using the Truell and Papadakis models, and then the results were compared with experimental ones. Emphasis was given to the Papadakis approach because it takes into account the scatterer size distribution. It is demonstrated that both analytical models provide results that are far from the experimental ones. The developed simulator for the studied samples led to a predictive model, in which the attenuation was proportional to the fifth power of the scatterer size, and the corresponding formulation is close to the one proposed by the analytical models.
Operating Performance of External Non-Involute Spur˝and Helical Gears: A Review
Authors: Okorn Ivan , Nagode Marko , Klemenc Jernej
Published: June 2021

In practical use, most gears have an involute shape of tooth flanks. However, external involute gears have some drawbacks, such as unfavourable kinematic conditions at the beginning and end of meshing, a limited minimum number of teeth, and the highly loaded convex-convex (i.e., non-conformal) contact. Researchers have developed and analysed various non-involute forms of tooth flanks, but they have not been widely accepted. The main reasons are higher manufacturing costs and sensitivity to manufacturing and assembly errors. Analyses of non-involute forms of teeth are mostly theoretical (analytical and numerical), while there is a lack of experimental confirmations of theoretical assumptions. This paper reviews external non-involute shapes, their operating characteristics and possibilities of use compared to involute gears. Established criteria, such as Hertzian pressure, oil film thickness, bending stress at the root of the tooth, contact temperature, and gear noise, were used for assessment. The results of analytical studies and experimental research on S-gears are presented in more detail. S-gears have a higher surface durability and a lower heat load when compared to involute gears. The usability of non-involute gears is increasing with the development of new technologies and materials. However, the advantages of non-involute shapes are not so significant that they could easily displace involute gears, which are cheaper to manufacture.

Published: June 2021

Study objective: This paper analyzes the impact of non-essential purchases, particularly smartphones, and patience on self-determination and subjective well-being of bottom of pyramid customers.Method: 665 questionnaires were personally administered to respondents. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS SEM) was performed using SmartPLS software to test multiple dependency relationships between non-essential purchases, self-determination, subjective well-being and patience.Main results: Non-essential purchases, particularly smartphones, had a direct effect on self-determination and an indirect effect on subjective well-being of bottom of pyramid customers. Non-essential purchases fulfilled psychological need for self-determination, that led to subjective well-being. Moreover, patience was established as a significant predictor of self-determination and subjective well-being.Theoretical/ methodological contributions: This paper makes a theoretical contribution by connecting social identity theory, self-determination theory and patience with non-essential purchases and subjective well-being of bottom of pyramid customers.Relevance/ originality: Relatively fewer researches are available in Western marketing literature that connect patience with self-determination and subjective well-being of bottom of pyramid customers. The novel insight of this research showed that non-essential purchases can restore a sense of subjective well-being in such customers and when poverty related adverse situations tend to lower subjective well-being of these customers, patience positively impacts their self-determination and does not let them despair.Managerial and social implications: Marketers can use the insights from this research to develop products that satisfy bottom of pyramid customer’s psychological needs for self-determination that lead to subjective wellbeing in a consumer society.

Authors: Menekli Tugba , Doğan Runida
Published: June 2021

Purpose: This study is a descriptive study conducted to investigate the use of Complementary and Integrative Medicines (CIM) among internal medicine and surgical clinic nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 1112 nurses working at the internal medicine and surgical clinics of a hospital in eastern Turkey. The data were collected between November 2020 and February 2021 by using a Nurse Identification Form and a Questionnaire Form for Complementary/Integrative Treatment. Ethics board approval and institutional permission were obtained.
Results: It was determined that 55.2% of the participants used at least one of the CIM methods, the most frequently used method was herbal treatment-phytotherapy (96.7%), and the least frequently used method was homeopathy (3.1%). On CIM usage, the having received CIM training (β=0.395), high levels of perceived danger regarding the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on health (β=0.321), high levels of perceived infection probability (β=0.249), high levels of concern about being in crowded places (β=0.187), high levels of concern about getting the infection in oneself and/or family members (β=0.262) and being at the ages of 40-50 (β=0.116) had predictive effects.
Conclusions: It was determined that the majority of the nurses used CIM methods in the COVID-19 pandemic process, and they preferred herbal treatment most. To prevent a negative outcome that may potentially be caused by a CIM method that is used, it is recommended to provide nurses with training on CIM use for the COVID-19 pandemic.
