Published: April 2021

The use of immunoglobulin preparations for the postexposure prevention of tick-borne encephalitis as the main therapeutic and prophylactic agent fails to have enough high efficiency. For the postexposure prevention and treatment of tick-borne viral encephalitis the use of preparation tioloroin seems to be appropriate. Objective. To determine the expedience of the use of the preparation tiloron for the emergency prevention of tick-borne viral encephalitis and to evaluate its effectiveness in the treatment of patients with febrile and meningeal forms of this infection. Materials and Methods. The evaluation ofpost-exposure prophylaxis of tick-borne was carried out in two groups of individuals (each group was consisted of 100 cases), suffered from the suction of ticks infected by encephalitis virus. Both groups sought for medical help in the first 48 hours after the moment of the tick suction. None of the victims has not been vaccinated against the disease and had no serological markers of infection. According to existing regulations, patients in both groups received post-exposure prophylaxis antiviral tick immunoglobulin in the standard dose. Patients of the second group additionally received an interferon inducer drug tiloron. For the evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of the drug tiloron there was executed the analysis of clinical and laboratory picture of verified tick-borne viral encephalitis in 40 patients treated at "Republican Hospital for Infectious Diseases" of the city of Syktyvkar in the period from 2010 to 2015. There were studied the dynamics of clinical symptoms, haematological and biochemical markers, CSF, certain immunological indices: CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8, IgM and IgG. For the comparative assessment of the effectiveness of treatment, all the examined patients were divided into 4 groups depending on the clinical diagnosis and ongoing taken causal treatment. Results. Among the patients received post-exposure prophylaxis with inclusion of the preparation tiloron, the disease developed significantly less often, without the formation offocal forms. The use of tiloron in combination therapy reduced the duration of main clinical manifestations in patients with febrile and meningeal forms of the disease, contributed to a more rapid rehabilitation of cerebrospinal fluid, recovery of subpopulations of T-lymphocytes. Conclusions. Immunomodulating inductor tiloron is effective in complex treatment and prevention of tick-borne viral encephalitis.

The aim of the study is the improvement of the efficiency of IVF on the basis of the determination of immunological and infectious risk factors for miscarriage. The materials and methods. The object of research were 21 female infertility patients included in the program of ancillary reproductive technologies (ART) for the period of 2014-2016, who had in a history from one to four ineffective IVF response. The average age of studied women was 33.5±0.9 years, the number of years with infertility amounted to 7,3±1,0. In the preparation for IVF women received a complete course of general clinical examination to identify the causes of infertility. The study of the immune status was carried out with the use of one - and two-parameter phenotyping, the results included data obtained with the flow-through cytofluorometer BECKMAN COULTER EPICS XL-II (USA), treated according to standard protocols. The control group consisted of 30 fertile women. The results of the study. Infertility women planning IVF, were found to be characterized by presenting a combination of persistent opportunistic infections of herpes group: HSV and CMV. In the 90,5% of women there were identified various immunodeficiency states from both cellular and humoral immunity: the characteristic increase in the content of HLA-DR, a reduction in CD19+ cells. In primary infertility states changes in cellular immunity were more pronounced, additionally there was the decline in immunoregulatory index (IRI), the increase in the content of CD8+, CD25+, IgM. An imbalance of the immune system in women with persistence of several opportunistic infections was both more pronounced, than in cases with monoinfection and manifested by such abnormalities of cellular immunity as the gain in the content of CD8+, NK cells CD16+, CD56+, CD25+, a decline in IRI. The conclusion. In the course of the preparation for IVF in an examination mode of women with the primary infertility and the presence of markers of several opportunistic infections, it is advisable to include an evaluation of the immune status. The identification of secondary immune deficiency is an indication for inclusion of immunocorrective therapy in the comprehensive treatment.

Authors: Fominykh S. G , Perepichkina T. E
Published: April 2021

In the paper there were studied qualitative properties of the dominant nosocomial wound and respiratory pathogens (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) over a 3-years period of the observation in hospital emergency medical care in two ways. The first pharmacoepidemiological approach was based on the estimated consumption of the main classes of antimicrobial agents and the occurrence of resistant isolates, the second method assumes a histogram reflecting statistical distribution of values of the inhibition diameter of zone of the growth of colonies of microorganisms. Two methods were proved to reveal an unidirectional trend, but the second method allows in more details to assess the dynamics of susceptibility/resistance of microorganisms depending on the type of pathogen and localization of the infection and to construct a formulary of antimicrobial agents on the basis of the actual consumption of drugs, but also from data obtained experimentally.

Published: April 2021

This paper uses a case study of Ukrainian migrants in Italy and the Czech Republic to demonstrate the similarities in remittance behavior and integration process of same ethnic group in different destination countries. Our findings show that that remittance behavior of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic and Italy is significantly determined by their financial situation, demographic characteristics, level of human capital and the level of integration as well as the specific context characteristics. In addition, we find evidence for the fact that Ukrainian migrants who are more settled in a target country will send less or no remittances to Ukraine and that therefore the Stark’s hypothesis of remittances decay holds true for this ethnical group regardless of the country of residence.

Authors: Aretxabala María Esther
Published: April 2021

Este artículo pretende poner de relieve el papel jugado por las Empresas de Inserción dentro del contexto alternativo que representa la Economía Social y Solidaria, como mecanismos que ofrecen un contrato de trabajo a personas en situación de desventaja social y con graves dificultades para integrarse en el mercado laboral ordinario. Este tipo de empresas promueven la empleabilidad y favorecen la activación laboral y la inclusión social de los beneficiarios de su oferta de empleos de inserción tutelados. Entre los empleados en inserción se encuentran ciertas personas de origen extranjero que cumplen los requisitos para poder acceder a este tipo de empleos como es el hecho de estar desempleadas y de estar reconocidos por los Servicios Sociales, gracias a la firma de un Convenio de Inserción, como personas en situación o riesgo de exclusión social de cara a establecer acciones específicas de carácter social para conseguir la inserción personal, social y laboral o prevenir el riesgo de exclusión desde un proceso individualizado de inserción que tenga en cuenta las necesidades globales de la persona.Partiendo de los resultados primarios de la primera fase de una investigación desarrollada en Euskadi en 2011 con metodología mixta, este trabajo analiza esta tipología de empresas sociales que por su metodología de actuación conforman un factor de inserción y se articulan como herramientas que contribuyen a la integración de cierto perfil de inmigrantes internacionales que aglutinan una acumulación e interrelación de factores de vulnerabilidad social que conllevan obstáculos que suponen tremendas limitaciones para poder integrarse no solamente en el terreno laboral sino también en un ámbito social y administrativo más amplio. Las prácticas articuladas desde las Empresas de Inserción apuestan por la consecución de una sociedad más justa, inclusiva y cohesionada desde su labor por lograr la activación laboral, personal y socia ltambién con los inmigrantes en situación o riesgo de exclusión social en contexto vasco ensombrecido en tiempos de crisis.
Primary health care for all: lessons from its failure to achieve its goal and COVID-19
Authors: Yusuf Erlangga
Published: April 2021

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), primary health care (PHC) can be defined as a whole-of-society approach to health and well-being, centered on the needs and preferences of individuals, families and communities. In the last five years, several major events occurred that emphasize the importance of and the need for PHC. First, the publication of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. One of the SDGs is to achieve universal health care (UHC). UHC means that all people can get access to health service without it resulting in financial hardship, and  the WHO believes that PHC is fundamental to achieving UHC. Second, a new international declaration on PHC has been released in Astana, Kazakhstan, in 2018. This is a new declaration and global commitment on PHC, four decennia after the first declaration on PHC in Alma-Ata, in the former Soviet Union

Authors: Vinsalia Thania , Handajani Yvonne Suzy
Published: April 2021

BackgroundQuality of life tends to decrease as age increases. This study aimed to determine the most significant risk factors (family support, spirituality, and life satisfaction) for the elderly’s quality of life. MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 101 subjects aged ³60 years in West Jakarta. The variables were assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life–BREF (WHOQOL–BREF), Family Support, Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) instruments. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between quality of life and its determinant factors.ResultsBased on sociodemographic characteristics, the respondents were mostly women (66.3%), had more than nine years of education (79.2%), and were married (56.4%). The analysis showed that life satisfaction was significantly associated with overall quality of life (OR=9.71; 95% CI:2.04–46.26; p=0.004) and general health (OR=7.52; 95% CI:1.70–33.25; p=0.008). Life satisfaction was also a risk factor for the environmental domain (OR=36.02; 95% CI:5.07–255.82; p<0.001). Furthermore, spirituality was found to be a risk factor for the physical health domain (OR=4.18; 95% CI:1.51–11.59; p=0.006), psychological domain (OR=6.67; 95% CI:2.4–17.86; p<0.001), and environmental domain (OR=11.46; 95% CI:3.10–42.37; p<0.001).ConclusionLife satisfaction plays a significant role in increasing the environmental domain of quality of life, the overall quality of life, and general health among the elderly. Awareness of these factors can assist providers in identifying people at risk and guide new intervention programs to improve care for these invaluable elderly of our communities.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUNDHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been widely accepted as a predictor of future cardiovascular risk that reflects a microinflammatory state. Obesity linked to microinflammation increases the prevalence of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine the association between several obesity indices namely body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (fat), and visceral fat (VF) with hsCRP in non-diabetic adults. METHODSThis was a cross-sectional study performed on 80 non-diabetic adults with ages ranging from 20-40 years. The obesity indices BMI, WC, body fat percentage, and VF were measured. We then measured the hsCRP levels using an immunoturbidimetric method. Simple and multiple linear regression tests were used to analyze the association between obesity indices and hsCRP levels. RESULTSMean of log BMI, log WC, and log VF was 1.41 ± 0.08 kg/m2, 1.93 ± 0.06 cm, and 0.95 ± 0.27 units, respectively. Simple linear regression tests showed that log BMI (â=3.506; p<0.001), log WC (â=3.672; p<0.001), log VF (â=0.833; p<0.001), and log systolic blood pressure (â=3.739; p=0.024) had a significant positive correlation with log hsCRP levels. Further multiple linear regression test showed that log BMI (â=3.772; Beta=0.674; p<0.001) had the greater effect on log hsCRP levels compared to other indices. CONCLUSIONS    BMI had a greater influence on hsCRP levels compared to other obesity indices in non-diabetic adults. Body mass index can be used as a better index in predicting hsCRP levels compared to other indices.

Published: April 2021

IntroductionLiver fibrosis (LF) results from the unregulated chronic wound healing process in liver tissue. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is the major contributing cytokine of LF promotion through activation of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into myofibroblasts (MFs) and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition such as collagen leading to scar tissue development. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an immunomodulatory capability that could be used as a new treatment for repairing and regenerating LF through suppression of TGF-β. This study aimed to examine the role of MSCs in liver fibrosis animal models through suppression of TGF-β levels without scar formation particularly in the proliferation phase.MethodsIn this study, a completely randomized design was used with sample size of 24. Male Sprague Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), twice weekly, for eight weeks to induce LF. Rats were randomly assigned to four groups: negative control, CCl4 group, and CCL4 + MSC-treated groups T1 and T2, at doses of 1 x 106 and 2x106 cells, respectively. TGF-β levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). One-way ANOVA and a least significant difference (LSD) was used to analyse the data. ResultsThe TGF levels of LF rat models decreased on day 7 after MSC administration. The levels of TGF-β in both MSC groups T1 and T2 decreased significantly compared with the control group (p<0.05). The TGF-β suppression capability of T2 was optimal and more significant than that of T1.ConclusionMSCs can suppress TGF levels in liver fibrosis induced rats.

Published: April 2021

BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that constitutes a huge health burden, with the presence of comorbidities of DM adding to it. This study aimed to obtain the main determinants of the combined incidence of DM and its main comorbidities in adults.MethodsThis was a further analysis of the Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factor Cohort Study 2011 – 2018 involving 3730 subjects. Data of diabetes-free respondents at baseline were followed up every 2 years for 6 years. Data collection was carried out through interviews and health examinations. All subjects were assayed for blood glucose and lipid parameters. Chi-square test and Cox regression were implemented for data analysis.ResultsDuring 6 years of follow-up, DM incidence occurred in 567 (15.2%) subjects. The most common comorbidities were increased low density lipoprotein (LDL), central obesity, increased total cholesterol, obesity and hypertension. Most of the comorbidities occurred before the diagnosis of DM incidence. The determinants of the combined DM incidence–increased LDL are obesity, hypertension, and a family history of DM. The determinants of the combined DM incidence–central obesity are increased triglycerides, hypertension, male gender, and family history of DM. While the determinants of the combined DM incidence–hypertension are obesity and increased triglycerides.CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrated a high burden of diabetes incidence with comorbidities among adults. Knowledge of the magnitude of the diabetescomorbidity determinants emphasizes the role of non pharmacological intervention such as weight reduction and dietary modification.
Mandatory universal use of cloth mask for prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 transmission
Authors: Yenny Yenny , Herwana Elly , Wratsangka Raditya
Published: April 2021

Since the outbreak in Wuhan City, China, in late December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread to nearly the whole world, so that it was declared a pandemic by the Word Health Organization. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative organism of COVID-19, is extremely infectious and can adhere to droplet nuclei of < 5 mm diameter and become airborne (aerosol). Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, there has been controversy on the use of cloth masks by the public, because of the still inconclusive evidence of the efficacy of cloth masks in protecting against COVID-19 transmission. Universal masking as a healthcare intervention in the community is currently made mandatory by local governments of most countries, since they follow the recent recommendation by the World Health Organization. The issuing of the WHO recommendation on the public use of masks was based on a study demonstrating that COVID-19 transmission does not occur only through droplets but also through aerosols. In addition, there was a study showing that COVID-19 transmission does not only occur from patients with clinical symptoms but also through asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic subjects, so that universal masking is of benefit in providing protection when used by healthy people and as source control to prevent cross-transmission to other people. This review article aims to discuss the mechanism of COVID-19 transmission, the evidence related to the efficacy of cloth masks, and the guidelines related to the selection and use of masks by the general population.

Authors: Dania Ira Aini , Novziransyah Nanda
Published: April 2021

The current coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the order of social life; the efforts made to tackle this pandemic have sometimes raised various obstacles related to norms, ethics and culture. An increased risk of COVID-19-associated mental disorders is found in many communities, causing excessive emotional reactions such as feelings of pressure, leading to unhealthy behavior. This situation confirms that health care providers have a key role in dealing with emotional disturbances that occur as a form of pandemic response. Public health emergencies can affect the health, safety and well-being of every individual as well as the social stigma in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Various mental health studies related to disasters have determined that emotional distress is widespread and can also be found in populations related to COVID-19. There are various kinds of risk factors that have an impact on health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including social isolation, lack of support, and concerns about safety of family members. We included published, observational and experimental studies that reported the mental health effects on health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts made by policy holders, especially in the health sector, have greatly contributed to the response to the pandemic, but not all of them can run smoothly, several steps and policies in the health sector must involve many stakeholders in order to realize the expected efforts. The main purpose of this review paper was to not only focus on health workers, but include the communities in overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study on branching pattern of segmental branches of splenic artery in human cadaveric spleens by dissection method
Authors: K Shwetha , K R Dakshayani
Published: April 2021

Spleen is the largest lymphoid organ. It is supplied by splenic artery the largest branch of coeliac trunk. It traverses through the lienorenal ligament to reach near the hilum of the spleen, where it divides into two or three primary branches, each of which is subdivided mostly into two or four secondary branches. Moreover, a superior polar arteries and inferior polar arteries are given from splenic trunk or from one of its primary branches, which goes to the poles of the spleen, without entering the hilum. It can be named as superior and inferior polar artery. The human spleen is divided accordingly into two or three main segments. The segments of spleen are separated by a definite avascular plane. Hence the partial removal of the spleen is possible, as the spleen is divided into segments, separated by fibrous septa and each segment is supplied by its own main artery. The present study was undertaken to study in detail the segmental branches of splenic artery which divide the spleen into various segments, its pattern of distribution and also to find out any inter-segmental arterial anastomosis by dissection method.

1.To study segmental branches of splenic artery. 2. To study the anastomosis between the segmental branches. 3. To study the branching pattern of terminal division of splenic artery.

The present study was conducted on 79 adult human cadaver spleens by dissection method, irrespective of their age and sex, fixed in 10% formalin solution, collected from the Department of Anatomy and Forensic Medicine, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore.

1. Two primary segmental branches were seen in 56 (70.9%) specimens, three primary segmental branches were seen in 19 (24.1%) specimens and four primary segmental branches were seen in 4 (5.1%) specimens. 2. Superior polar artery was present in 18 (22.8%) specimens and inferior polar artery was present in 32 (40.5%) and both superior and inferior polar artery was seen in 5 (6.3%) specimens. 3. Anastomosis between the primary segmental branches were seen in 11(13.9%) specimens. 4. The distributive type of branching pattern of terminal division of splenic artery was present in 50 (63.3%) specimens, and the marginal type of branching pattern was present in 29 (36.7%) specimens.

The present study adds up to the existing knowledge regarding the segmental branches of splenic artery, the better anatomical knowledge about segmental distribution of splenic artery and its variations are important for the partial removal of the spleen.

Published: April 2021

A realidade da violência doméstica no Brasil tem apresentado índices muito superiores em relação a países desenvolvidos, com isso houve um significativo aumento na exposição de crianças neste contexto de violência ocasionadas pelos genitores ou parceiros de suas progenitoras. A partir dessas informações, este estudo teve como objetivo verificar se o desenvolvimento infantil de bebês e crianças, frequentadoras de creches de um município do grande ABC foi impactado pela violência doméstica sofrida pelas suas mães. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de desenvolvimento infantil Bayley III e um questionário sociodemográfico, em 82 mães e/ou responsáveis. Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo não apontaram diferenças significativas no desenvolvimento dos participantes. Discutindo os resultados, verificou-se que os bebês e crianças avaliados tinham em comum a frequência diária em creches municipais, corroborando com a hipótese de que as oito horas diárias que os participantes permaneciam nas creches pareceram atenuar os impactos da violência doméstica sofrida por suas mães, de modo a fornecerem condições para que as crianças e bebês se desenvolvessem dentro do esperado na curva de desenvolvimento das referidas faixas etárias.
Práticas matemáticas ou musicais?... Jogos de aproximações na construção de instrumentos musicais
Authors: Camargos Chrisley Bruno Ribeiro , Caldeira Ademir Donizeti
Published: April 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que algumas práticas que podem ser consideradas como matemáticas, na construção de instrumentos musicais conhecidos como idiofones, podem apresentar outras características que somente fazem sentido em uma forma de vida musical, imersa em peculiaridades de uma tendência musical experimental/ contemporânea. O presente artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa que apresenta um viés etnográfico, realizada em um Curso de Música de uma universidade pública. Os dados foram analisados seguindo preceitos de uma microanálise etnográfica. Observou-se que as práticas matemáticas se entrecruzavam ou se perdiam em meio ao que os músicos denominam de percepção musical. Assim, conjectura-se que as matemáticas encontradas participam de uma prática situada, de um jogo de aproximação, no qual se buscam sons característicos, peculiares, relacionados a alguma escala que os músicos pretendem encontrar.

A falta de oferta do Atendimento Educacional Especializado na Educação Básica: narrativas dos professores de uma escola pública
Authors: Osório Priscila Formagio , Sardagna Helena Venites
Published: April 2021

Este trabalho problematiza a falta de oferta do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) na Educação Básica, a partir de narrativas de professores dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública de Educação Básica em um município do Litoral Norte do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. A legislação brasileira da educação preconiza que seja ofertado o AEE para os alunos público-alvo da Educação Especial, em todos os níveis e modalidades do ensino, e o estudo em questão identifica que essa diretriz não é praticada de forma plena. A análise baseou-se em registros escritos de professores e de diário de bordo, a partir de questões semiestruturadas. O estudo problematizou como a falta de oferta do Atendimento Educacional Especializado na escola repercute nas narrativas produzidas por professores dos anos finais que têm alunos com deficiência incluídos em suas turmas. Evidenciam-se iniciativas dos professores, a fim de suprir a ausência do AEE, mas também preocupações quanto à eficácia dessas ações. O estudo conclui que o profissional especialista em AEE é fundamental na escola, para mediação e articulação na elaboração das estratégias pedagógicas junto aos professores do ensino comum. Destaca-se ainda que existem muitas barreiras impostas à inclusão dos alunos com deficiência, evidenciando uma enorme distância entre a legislação e a realidade educacional.Palavras-chave: Atendimento Educacional Especializado; Inclusão; Educação Básica.
A observação como instrumento nas pesquisas em educação especial: uma análise dos artigos publicados na Revista Educação Especial (UFSM)
Authors: Ferreira Adilson Rocha , Francisco Deise Juliana
Published: April 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar como a observação, enquanto instrumento no processo de produção de dados, está sendo utilizado em pesquisas no âmbito da Educação Especial, destacando as características que lhes são peculiares. Esta pesquisa é classificada como uma pesquisa bibliográfica, mais especificamente caracterizada como pesquisa de estado da arte. Para a realização desta pesquisa, foi escolhida a Revista Educação Especial (ISSN Eletrônico: 1984-686X, Qualis CAPES 2013-2016 – Educação A2), publicada pela Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), em que foram analisados os trabalhos publicados entre os anos 2016 a 2018, contando com três volumes, um por ano, e três números por ano, com exceção do ano de 2018 que, até o momento, só foram publicados dois números. Assim, foram analisados 8 números, totalizando 134 trabalhos, dos quais apenas 16 utilizaram este instrumento em suas pesquisas. Frente às nossas análises, percebemos que mesmo sendo um instrumento utilizado há muito tempo, a observação é relativamente pouco utilizada nas pesquisas em Educação Especial. Mesmo aquelas que optam por utilizar a observação, muitas vezes os pesquisadores não relatam as especificidades da observação realizada e quais autores embasam a sua prática.

Published: April 2021

No presente estudo, objetiva-se verificar e analisar, no contexto escolar, a contribuição do professor do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) na articulação com o professor de sala de aula regular (SAR) para a constituição de uma prática colaborativa. Discorre-se, também, sobre o modo como a prática colaborativa entre professores de SAR e do AEE tem se efetivado no contexto escolar, destacando seus principais desafios. O estudo se baseia na abordagem histórico-cultural da aprendizagem e do desenvolvimento humano de Vigotski. Utilizou-se a pesquisa-ação colaborativa, por sua possibilidade de compreender a realidade vivida e construir conhecimentos conjuntamente, somando pesquisador e participantes. Participaram da pesquisa quatro professoras de sala de aula dos anos iniciais (1º ao 3º ano), as quais tinham estudantes com deficiência intelectual matriculados, e uma professora do AEE. Os procedimentos para geração de dados se deu por meio de sessões reflexivas individuais e coletivas. A pesquisa permitiu verificar que a prática colaborativa entre professores de SAR e do AEE ainda se apresenta como um desafio no contexto da escola pública, principalmente em relação ao tempo, ao espaço e à abertura dos profissionais para o estabelecimento dessa articulação. No entanto, observou-se que, na escola investigada, tem se constituído um movimento, principalmente por iniciativa da professora do AEE, para que esta se estabeleça. Na avaliação das professoras participantes, a prática colaborativa se configura como uma estratégia eficiente na promoção de mudanças de concepções e práticas que favoreçam a inclusão escolar de estudantes com deficiência.

The paper shows the study results of sorption capacities of composite gels based on polyacrylic and polymethacrylic acids with bentonite clay as the mineral filler concerning heavy metal ions (Pb+2, Cu+2, Ni+2, Zn+2, Fe+2, Cd+2). The binding of metal ions to gels occurs through the formation of electrostatic bonds between the charged surface of bentonite clay and ionogenic functional groups of polymers in the composition, as well as the coordination bonds between metal ions and unshared pairs of oxygen electrons in the functional groups of polymers. The gel swelling degree decreases in metal solutions with increasing metals concentration and the content of BC in the composite. The sorption and desorption of heavy metal ions from the polymer-clay composites from model solutions and samples of industrial wastewater from the Kazakhstani metallurgical plants were evaluated. The adjustment of the pH, the temperature of the medium and the clay content in the composite leads to increasing the degree of sorption and achieving regeneration of the used composite gels in certain media. The data obtained testify to the prospects of using these composites as effective sorbents of heavy metals from industrial wastewaters expanding the range of composite materials for wastewater treatment.

This paper deals with the fundamental differences between industrial and paving-grade bituminous binders. The paper is presented in two main sections: 1) a review of the materials’ colloidal structure and the required properties for the industrial and paving applications; 2) a wide range of experimental tests with which the bituminous binders were studied and compared. In this research, a 160/220 industrial bitumen was studied and compared to a paving-grade bitumen with the same penetration and with a lower penetration, 70/100 one. The research consisted of physical, chemical, thermal, microstructural, and rheological analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of these bituminous binders of diverse applications. Overall, the comparison of the tests’ results indicated that while the asphaltene content and its characteristics have a great influence on the bitumen’s properties, it is not the only fundamental factor. During the study of the chemical structures via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), it was found that the Peri phase (attributed to the resins) also plays an important role, defining the bitumen’s physical visco-elastic properties. In fact, from a microstructural point of view using AFM a significant difference was notified between the industrial bitumen and the paving-grade ones. These differences allow the paving-grade bitumens to be more elastic and ductile compared to the industrial bitumen.

The possibility of biochemical oxidation of polyaromatic hydrocarbon mixtures (PAHs) by the mixed culture of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms (HOM) in a liquid medium and soil was investigated. The mixed HOM culture was represented by Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus cereus, and Arthrobacter globiformis genera. It was shown that during HOM cultivation of the microorganisms under study in the liquid medium their number increases from 0.25·104 to 11·108 CFU/ml, which is accompanied by an increase in their oxygenase activity. All PAHs identified were subjected to oxidation from 11.3 to 100%. The results of experiments on biodegradation of PAHs under natural conditions have shown that for 60 days the total utilization of oil products in soils was on the average 65% of the initial contamination. This suggests the prospects for the use of the mixed HOM culture under study for effective biodegradation of PAHs polluting soil and waste waters.

Background: The application of a cannulated device is a widely used fixation method for hip fractures. Although the breakage of the guide wire during this procedure is an uncommon complication, migration of the broken fragment might be catastrophic.
Case Report: We presented a case of intertrochanteric fracture with breakage of the lag screw guide wire in the acetabulum during fixation with cephalomedullary nail. The broken fragment was located with computed tomography (CT) scan and removed through Stoppa approach.
Conclusion: We found the Stoppa approach a safe and useful method for extracting the intra-pelvic broken guide wire.
