Authors: Matas Marijana , Miklić Bublić Martina , Sekulić Ante , Curić Radivojević Renata , Nagy Bálint
Published: January 2023

Introduction

Videolaryngoscopy (VL) is the recommended strategy for airway management in COVID-19 patients and guidelines recommends that all anesthesiologists should be trained to use and have immediate access to the device. However, the availability of VL in hospitals and its use may vary, as well as the choice of the device and necessary training. Our primary aim was to investigate data on availability of VL in Croatia, its use, the choice of the device and its implementation, with special consideration of COVID-19 management.

Materials and methods

An electronic survey was sent to all Croatian hospitals that have anesthesiology service available. The survey was designed to examine data on availability and use of VL with special consideration of COVID-19 wards. The survey was conducted between 1.03.2021 and 30.08.2021.

Results

Response rate was 83%. VL was available in 86% of hospitals and the best supplied areas were intensive care units, general surgery and gynecology/obstetrics. The most common VL devices were Bonfils, C-MAC and C-MAC D-blade. The choice of VL was mainly based on centralized hospital procurement and informal introduction was found to be the most frequent training method. The VL was mainly used in Croatian hospitals in cases of difficult airway or as a backup method after failed intubation. Only 16% of hospitals reported regular use in everyday practice. Even though, VL was available in 64% of COVID-19 wards, only 21% of hospitals reported routine use.

Conclusion

Although VL is available in the majority of Croatian hospitals, its use is still mainly restricted to difficult airway scenarios. Use of VL in COVID-19 management is also low and education on the method is still mainly informal. Based upon our results better implementation in practice should be targeted, as well as formal skill trainings especially regarding COVID-19 care.

Nuevos espacios de sociabilidad en el ámbito rural en el primer tercio del siglo XX
Authors: Martínez Torres Mateo , Sanfiz Arias Roque
Published: January 2023

En las primeras décadas del siglo XX el deporte comenzó su expansión hasta llegar a casi toda Europa, incluidas las aldeas gallegas. En este artículo se revisa de qué manera llegó y se desarrolló el fútbol en la comarca del Ribeiro (Ourense), una zona que vivía una expansión de la producción vitivinícola y en la que el campesinado empezaba a organizarse y movilizarse. A partir de la bibliografía existente, acompañada de una profunda revisión hemerográfica, se analizan los actores sociales que propiciaron la práctica de este deporte en una zona rural y la implicación de los campesinos en este elemento de modernidad. Una cultura urbana que tuvo una gran expansión en la zona llegando a jugarse en la práctica totalidad sus parroquias en los momentos previos al golpe de 1936.
antifranquismo intelectual en Córdoba
Authors: López Luque Francisco Javier , Alcalde Sánchez Ignacio
Published: January 2023

En el presente trabajo se muestran los primeros resultados de nuestra investigación sobre el surgimiento de una línea cristiano-marxista en Córdoba de forma inédita en toda España. Para ello nos hemos servido de nuestro objeto de estudio: la revista Praxis, cuyos cinco números (1960-1961) vienen a constatar la existencia de dicha simbiosis. Su rápida difusión en el panorama antifranquista nacional es un claro síntoma del impacto que generó gracias a la calidad y novedad en sus textos; especialmente entre los sectores universitarios de Madrid y Valencia. Autores como su fundador, José Aumente Baena, Carlos Castilla del Pino o Nicolás Sartorius –entre otros– sitúan a Praxis como un espacio propicio para el diálogo antifranquista desde diversas perspectivas. Por tanto, consideramos de primer orden un estudio pormenorizado de la revista que, hasta las primeras conclusiones que hoy arrojamos, no ha sido registrado. Por tanto, constituye Praxis un agente transformador crucial para la comprensión del antifranquismo cordobés y, en última instancia, la creación del Círculo Cultural «Juan XXIII».
En nombre del campesinado
Authors: Cabo Villaverde Miguel
Published: January 2023

Los partidos agrarios tuvieron su época de esplendor durante la época de Entreguerras, en particular en Escandinavia y en la Europa centro-oriental, aunque la historiografía haya minusvalorado su importancia en la politización del campesinado y en la evolución política post-Versalles. Su máxima expresión fue una coordinadora con sede en Praga, la denominada Internacional Verde, que trató de articular el programa y la práctica de los partidos agrarios. A partir de bibliografía secundaria y de época y fuentes archivísticas y hemerográficas, se presentará una visión de su trayectoria y se interpretará la misma en el marco más amplio de los procesos de politización en el ámbito rural en la primera mitad del siglo xx.

Published: January 2023

Este artículo examina las relaciones establecidas entre el campesinado, la política de tierras y de conservación de bosques en Costa Rica entre las décadas de 1960 y 1980. Su objetivo es estudiar las contradicciones sociales y ecológicas de dichas políticas en el contexto del auge de la Reforma Agraria y la deforestación en este país. En primer lugar, analiza los enfrentamientos que ocurrieron entre el Instituto de Tierras y Colonización (ITCO) y los campesinos en diversas zonas de reserva forestal, en las cuales los campesinos explotaban el bosque. En segundo lugar, estudia las conflictos entre campesinos y conservacionistas ocurridos en las fronteras entre los parques nacionales y los asentamientos creados por el Estado. La investigación concentra su atención en comprender los discursos y la semántica a través de los cuales el Estado justificaba su intervención en estos conflictos, así como la represión contra los campesinos. Asimismo, toma en cuenta la perspectiva de académicos y expertos ambientales acerca de las relaciones existentes entre la deforestación y el campesino «precarista». El estudio utiliza fuentes primarias, provenientes de archivos públicos, así como bibliografía especializada.

Authors: Cabrera Tenecela Luis Miguel , Calle Tapia Edwin Geovanny , Ortiz Calle Juan Carlos
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Infection of the surgical site is one of the most frequent complications in the postoperative patients. Despite the continuous improvement of surgical techniques and antibiotic prophylaxis, this complication represents 38% of all nosocomial infections; it increases hospital stay, increases morbidity, mortality, and raises costs per patient. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of surgical site infection in herniorrhaphy and hernioplasty, and its associated factors, in patients treated at “Hospital de Especialidades José Carrasco Arteaga”, in Cuenca, from 2016 to 2018. METHODS: Analytical, cross-sectional study, based on 203 patients who underwent surgical hernia repair, in the period from January 2016 to December 2018. Analysis was performed with Pearson's Chi-square non-parametric statistic. To determine the association of risk factors, the Odds Ratio measure was used, with a 95% CI and values> 1; statistical significance was established with the p value <0.05. RESULTS: The prevalence of surgical site infection was 8.9%, and it was found to be associated with the type of hernia (OR: 3.57 p= 0.046) and use of drains (OR: 3.2 p+ 0.026). No association could be determined with the factors: smoking, diabetes, hypertension, immunosuppression, ASA index, use of prosthetic material, surgical approach or surgical emergency. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of surgical site infection is 8.9% and is statistically associated with factors related to surgical management such as the type of hernia(p=0.046) and the use of drains (p= 0.026).

Authors: Peña Aguilera Juan Sebastián , Amoroso Palacios Remigio Leonardo , Correa Ochoa Valeria Estefanía
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Transient myeloproliferative Syndrome can be defined as an abnormal proliferation of immature leukemic cells. It presents in newborns with Down syndrome or trisomy 21 mosaicism, as an uncontrolled proliferation of blasts in the megakaryocytic lineage; it resolves spontaneously during the first three months of life. One of the characteristic manifestations is Non-Immune Fetal Hydrops. CASE REPORT: Premature newborn patient adequate for gestational age, born by C-Section due to ultrasound diagnosis of NIHF. At birth, we evidenced phenotypic characteristics of Down syndrome; in addition, the clinical picture and physical examination (respiratory distress, bradycardia, hypotension, prolonged capillary refill, hypotonia, and thrombocytopenia) supported the diagnostic suspicion of neonatal sepsis. The initial management of the patient in the intensive care unit included: mechanical ventilation, vasopressor support, surfactant administration, intravenous antibiotic therapy, furosemide, fentanyl and midazolam, albumin, and vitamin k. EVOLUTION: During his hospital stay, the patient developed acute kidney injury. In addition, we detected leukocytosis and presence of immature cells, anemia and thrombocytopenia, with diagnostic suspicion of congenital leukemia versus MTS, confirmed by flow cytometry. Subsequently, the patient presented elevated bilirubin, with jaundice and subsequent multifactorial cholestasis. The patient was hospitalized for 48 days and after the resolution of the mentioned pathologies, he was discharged. At the follow up, 15 days after discharge, normalization of leucocyte, red blood cell and platelet values confirmed the TMS diagnosis. CONCLUSION: In this case report, the patient developed MTS in relation to Down syndrome and had a complicated clinical course due to all the complications derived from his prematurity, his congenital disease, and the presence of hydrops fetalis and other manifestations of MTS. In the present case, there were criteria of severity, poor prognosis and high risk of mortality, which advantageously do not affect his current clinical condition, but require continuous and strict clinical surveillance. Multidisciplinary management, a high index of suspicion, timely attention to the multiple manifestations and complications, and proper follow-up allowed for a favorable evolution and greater survival in this patient.

Background: Verbal abuse among healthcare professionals is a common and widespread phenomenon. Objectives: 1) Investigating the prevalence of verbal abuse; 2) Identifying sources of abuse and reasons behind not reporting verbal abuse; 3) Examining the effects of verbal abuse on nurses; 4) Examining the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of newly hired RNs and exposure to verbal abuse and its personal and professional effects. Methods: A correlational descriptive design was conducted using a convenient sample of 200 participants. Results: High prevalence of verbal abuse is detected among newly hired RNs who participated in this study. The most common sources of verbal abuse were the patient’s family and visitors and other staff nurses, respectively (n=147, 74%; n=97, 48.5 %). The mean score of exposure to verbal abuse was M= 6.76 and the personal and professional effect on the verbal -abuse scale was M=28.35. It was found that 142 nurses were exposed to verbal abuse, but had decided not to report the episode. Exposure to verbal abuse was high in nurses who were divorced and work in a shift system. Conclusion: verbal abuse is a serious problem that affects nurses’ well-being. Implications to Nursing: Nursing administrators should create programs for training and supporting newly hired RNs in Jordan in reporting verbal abuse.

Authors:   Jordan University of Science and Technology, Kassab Manal , Rababaah Doaa , Khriesat Wadah , Hamadneh Shereen , Joseph Rachel
Published: January 2023

Background: Current evidence no longer supports the instillation of normal saline (NS) during endotracheal suctioning. However, it is unclear whether and to what extent nurses practice NS instillation in Jordan’s neonatal intensive-care units (NICUs). Purpose: To describe the knowledge and practice of Jordanian nurses regarding NS instillation before endotracheal suctioning. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive method was used. Data was collected from 136 NICU nurses using a 29-item self-administered questionnaire. The participants were from 7 NICUs of 7 hospitals in Jordan (north, middle and south of Jordan). The questionnaire asked participants about their knowledge and practice regarding endotracheal suctioning. Results: Findings showed a high frequency of NS instillation during endotracheal suctioning. Among the participants, 44.1% believed that NS was beneficial in loosening secretions, 57.4% believed that it could stimulate the cough response, 56.6% believed that it promoted neonate comfort and 41.2% believed that it could reduce bacterial growth. In practice, 80.0% of nurses used open rather than closed suctioning, 57.1% did not use more than 5 ml of NS during suctioning and 92.4%. instilled 0.9% normal saline directly onto the endotracheal tube rather than the in-line suction adapter. Moreover, 53.7% of participants reported that suctioning mechanically ventilated premature neonates out of regularity and not because it was clinically indicated. Conclusion: This is the first study that explored NICU nurses’ knowledge and practice of NS use during endotracheal suctioning in Jordan. Educational programs can be implemented to improve knowledge regarding the complications of NS instillation. Implications for Nursing: NICU guidelines should be implemented to ensure that suctioning practices reflect current standards and education and training programs should be developed to target the knowledge and skills of nurses Keywords: Normal saline instillation, Suctioning, Endotracheal tube, NICUs, Jordan.

Authors: Kurushina Elena
Published: January 2023

Main directions of the new economic policy of Russia are the economy autonomization and formation of complex production systems. Emphasizing the role of the macroregional management, in accordance with the Strategy of the Spatial Development, increases the relevance of developing interregional, intersectorial clusters. Based on the methodology of forming and investigating of production clusters, the paper author proposes additional criteria of “successful integration” in the context of the spatial approach. The methodical toolkit for the economic integration assessment is tested using coefficients of the specialization and synchronization of the economic dynamics. The research reveals promising zones of the interregional clusters’ formation, discussed on the examples of Urals and Siberia. The most significant integration potential is identified for the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District and the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. The study confirms the choice of strategies of the interregional integration in the context of the clusters’ formation, with consideration to the degree of the regional economy specialization and the list of promising specializations of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF LABOR COSTING WHEN CALCULATING TARIFFS FOR GAS SUPPLY ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Prosvirina Irina , Tarasov Sergey
Published: January 2023

The new stage in the development of the Russian economy, which began after the 2008 crisis, is characterized by a fundamentally different approach to business development. The period of growth naturally gave way to a period of efficiency improvement. As a result, the interest in the study and implementation of mechanisms and tools for effective management has increased. In this regard, the development of approaches to labor costing when calculating the cost of services provided is a relevant problem. The timeliness of such studies can also be explained by the observed shortage of labor resources, primarily in the field of highly intellectual labor. The article describes the developed-by-the-authors methodological approach to labor rationing when calculating tariffs for gas supply organizations, which allows not only to reduce labor costs for developing tariffs for gas distribution organizations, but also to correctly form the cost of the service as a whole, the share of labor of the main workers in which is almost 80–90 %. This approach is based on the study of the few available methods of labor rationing for specialists in the service sector, as well as the generalization of practice in a relatively young and rapidly developing area of consulting.

Authors: Latysheva Anna
Published: January 2023

In the conditions of Russia's transition to the market model of economic management and the global financial crisis, those economic entities, which have several business segments, successfully operate because they diversify their risks. In this connection, the order of allocation of business segments and estimation of their effectiveness becomes of special urgency. In the scientific work, different approaches to treatment of the concepts of segment of activity and internal and external segment reporting are considered. On the basis of the obtained conclusions the concept of segment of activity as an object of internal business accounting is clarified. The specific tasks of accounting of activity segments have been substantiated, which allow to build and carry out the correct accounting, analysis and control of an individual activity segment or their group at the level of an economic entity. Factors and risks, which influence the formation of activity segments, are revealed. The known approaches to classification of activity segments are generalized, and the new classification criteria (as per risk level; industry sector; types of products; external buyers; types of activity; geographical regions; responsibility centers) are offered, allowing to broaden the idea of activity segments as objects of accounting, analysis and control.

Published: January 2023

Currently, the logistics sector, like other industries, is undergoing huge changes, and, like any changes, these are fraught both with risks (instability of the geopolitical situation, increased sanctions against the Russian Federation by Western countries, and the continuing threat of the impact of COVID-19) and opportunities (new technologies, new market participants, and new consumer expectations). Railway transport is an important component of the country's transport infrastructure, ensuring effective deployment of productive forces, specialization of regions, meeting the needs for the transportation of various goods and passengers, etc. The purpose of the article is to develop new methods and principles for diagnosing logistics systems, which will improve the sustainability of railway transport enterprises by quickly eliminating system bottlenecks and maximizing market opportunities. To assess the effectiveness of the supply chain management system, an express method is proposed based on the study of such components as “goals”, “tasks” in the areas of “customers”, “business processes”, “finance” and “personnel”, as well as the “lost profit” component.

Published: January 2023

The article authors consider the possibilities of using various methods for forecasting the volume of sales, based on logistical principles, in relation to the activities of automobile dealer enterprises. The golden rule of logistics forms the basis for the logistics process behavior and is implies the supply of products in the right quantity and quality, and on time. The task of sales forecasting is to anticipate the demand parameters to plan the future activities of the enterprise. Thus, sales forecasting underlies the logistics activities of the enterprise. The effectiveness of the implementation of almost all logistics functions directly depends on the accuracy and reliability of the consumer demand forecasts. At the same time, the specifics of the activity of the enterprise in question – a car dealer – imposes certain restrictions on the possibilities of sales forecasting. In particular, the need to take into account market trends, the availability of quotas for the manufacturer, and taking into consideration the demand for the assortment on the part of consumers lead to the need to adjust the methods used for sales forecasting. The authors of the article have reviewed the forecasting methods used in logistics and highlighted the methods that can be used by car dealers to determine the volume of sales in subsequent periods. The sequence of using forecasting methods forms an algorithm for sales volume forecasting. Approbation of the methodology and algorithm for sales volume forecasting has been carried out on the example of a particular enterprise and can be used by similar enterprises in their activities.

Authors: Karpushkina Anzhela , Lavrentyev Alexey
Published: January 2023

The article assesses regional imbalances in the demand and supply of professional skills in the labor market. The author's approach to assessing the discrepancy between demand and supply of professional skills is based on the calculation of indicators of the share of the unemployed with a certain level of education (higher professional education, secondary vocational education, initial vocational education) in the total number of unemployed with vocational education. The obtained indicators are interpreted as a type of imbalance in the supply and demand of professional skills. As a result of the implementation of the approach, the analysis of the obtained regional situations in the context of each level of vocational education was carried out, the situations were identified and the subjects of the Russian Federation were classified according to the degree of stability of situations of imbalance by its types. To interpret the results obtained, an approach based on the Chaddock scale was applied, adapted to the development of an assessment scale for the stability of imbalances. The conducted research confirms the presence of a variety of regional situations from the standpoint of the imbalance in the supply and demand of professional skills. The conclusions can serve as the basis for developing recommendations for the formation of regional strategies for the development of the labor market.
THE SHARING ECONOMY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION
Authors: Antonova Olga
Published: January 2023

The article proposes a study on one of the concepts of the circular economy – the sharing economy. To achieve the goals of sustainable development and reduce environmental threats, the world community has adopted the concept of a circular economy, a closed-loop economy. One of the entrepreneurial models of the circular economy is the sharing economy. The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical provisions on increasing the influence of the sharing economy on improving the quality of life of the population. The sharing economy in our study is considered as a model using which projects aimed at improving the quality of life of the population can be implemented. It is presented that social entrepreneurs play a significant role in implementing of such projects, who strive to achieve the social effect in the field of improving the quality of life of the population. Within the frameworks of the sharing economy social entrepreneurs implement their projects by applying investment resources: impact investing and crowdfunding. Using these investment resources in practices is hindered due to the fact that the entrepreneurs do not have enough knowledge about those and their investment opportunities in a sharing economy. In the theoretical aspect, we believe, there is not enough research on the impact of the sharing economy on improving the quality of life of the population. In this work, an attempt is made to expand the theoretical understanding of the sharing economy aimed at improving the quality of life of the population. As the methodological basis of the study, the author used the basic provisions of economic theory, circular economy, sharing economy, digital economy, the concept of social entrepreneurship, and theoretical and methodological aspects of the quality of life of the population. The information base of the study was the expert and statistical data of the “Our Future” Foundation for Regional Social Programs (https://nb-fund.ru/), HSE University, and other data on the development of the social entrepreneurship sector in Russia. The theoretical result of the study is the definition of some interdisciplinary provisions related to the concept of the quality of life of the population based on the use of investment resources for the implementation of projects of the sharing economy by social entrepreneurs with a view to their further application in research. The practical area of application of the results and provisions will be the use of crowdfunding and impact investing to increase the effectiveness of implementation of projects of social entrepreneurs in order to improve the quality of life of the population.

Published: January 2023

Polymers are currently in the limelight. Phenolic resin is one of the polymer products obtained from the polymerization process, either from natural or synthetic sources. One of the natural compounds that can be applied to polymers is cardanol. This study aimed to synthesize cardanol-based acetaldehyde novolac resin from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL). Isolation of cardanol from CNSL was done by liquid-liquid extraction method with acetone and purified by gravity column chromatography in a mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate in a ratio of 9:1. HPLC analysis showed that cardanol compounds had aliphatic chains with different levels of saturation and the yield was 18.48%. The cardanol-acetaldehyde novolac resin was synthesized through a condensation polymerization reaction with a cardanol-acetaldehyde mole ratio (1:0.5), using HCl as a catalyst. FTIR and 1H-NMR analysis were employed to identify the novolac resin structure. The product was a brownish-orange solid with a yield of 12.80 mg (40%) and followed ortho-ortho substitution. Cardanol is one of the natural phenol sources that might be utilized to manufacture novolac resins.

The first 25 control group received the routine care were, while another 25 subjects in the experimental group received a self-efficacy enhancing education program developed by the researchers. The program was constructed using Bandura’s four sources of self-efficacy. The family caregivers’ perceived confidence and performance were measured by using the Perceived Confidence Questionnaire (PCQ) and the Performance Questionnaire (PQ). The data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The findings showed that the family caregivers who participated in the program had a higher in perceived confidence (t = 8.30, p < .05) and performance (U = .00, p < .05) in caring for patients with mild TBI upon the completion of the program. Conclusion: This study suggests the program may have contributed in improving the family caregivers’ competencies regarding perceived confidence and also influencing their performance in caring for patients with mild TBI. Therefore, this program is recommended for nurses to extend this knowledge for nursing practices and improve family caregivers’ competencies in caring for patients with mild TBI before and after discharge.
Kanon – (nie)ruchomości
Authors: Kozicka Dorota
Published: January 2023

W artykule podjęto rozważania na temat pojęcia kanonu w praktyce krytycznoliterackiej ostatniego trzydziestolecia. Odwołując się do toczących się wówczas debat społecznych i krytycznych oraz do używanych w nich różnych definicji kanonu, autorka pokazuje konteksty i reperkusje jego poruszenia (demontażu, rekonstrukcji). Nie tracąc z oczu zasadniczego faktu, że rozumienie kanonu przekłada się na sposób myślenia o literaturze oraz roli/powinnościach/możliwościach krytyki literackiej, analizuje zarówno cele, jak i sposoby używania tego pojęcia. A także okoliczności, w których w dyskusjach i tekstach krytycznych, podejmujących problematykę wartościowania, literackich hierarchii czy zadań krytyki, miejsce kanonu jako punktu odniesienia przejął mainstream i inne kategorie, bardziej adekwatne do heteronomicznego charakteru pola literackiego.
O pojęciu towaru w polskiej krytyce literackiej po 1989 roku
Authors: Żurek Łukasz
Published: January 2023

Pierwsza część artykułu jest próbą przeniesienia na grunt rozważań nad historią polskiej krytyki literackiej koncepcji Nicholasa Browna przedstawionej w książce Autonomy. The Social Ontology of Art Under Capitalism. Z kolei w drugiej części, inspirowanej projektem konstelacji krytycznych, na przykładzie heterogenicznych wypowiedzi z lat 90. XX wieku autor śledzi przejawy charakterystycznej dla późnokapitalistycznych społeczeństw ideologii estetycznej, w myśl której dzieło literackie jest takim samym towarem, jak każdy inny.

Authors: Kałuża Anna
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu Jak wytwarza się pojęcia wartościujące? Na przykładzie sporu o poezję Louise Glück jest refleksja nad sposobami funkcjonowania pojęć związanych z wartościowaniem w krytyce literackiej. Przedmiotem zainteresowania są procesy konstruowania, utrwalania oraz wymiany pojęć w społeczno-kulturowych obiegach. Na podstawie artykułów między innymi Kacpra Bartczaka oraz Natalii Malek, różnie oceniających wartość wierszy amerykańskiej noblistki, autorka tekstu bierze pod uwagę takie pojęcia, jak uniwersalność, szczerość, pisanie kobiece.
Tłumaczenie się z czułości – historia i współczesność pojęcia krytycznoliterackiego
Authors: Mizerkiewicz Tomasz
Published: January 2023

Artykuł omawia historię i współczesność użyć pojęcia „czułość” w polskiej krytyce literackiej. Przedstawiona została genealogia pojęcia, jego pochodzenie z estetyki sentymentalizmu, modyfikacje romantyczne i obecność w polskiej literaturze i krytyce nowoczesnej. Ukazano wielość współczesnych użyć czułości w rodzimej krytyce literackiej, po czym poddane zostały analizie „czułość” i „czuły narrator” z mowy noblowskiej Olgi Tokarczuk. W ostatniej części ukazane zostały wybrane przykłady z recepcji światowej, gdzie czułość łączona jest z ekokrytyką i problematyką literatury światowej.
Psychologia literatury (Lwa Wygotskiego): poza krytyczny impresjonizm i ilościowy empiryzm
Authors: Sala Zuzanna
Published: January 2023

Artykuł omawia koncepcję psychologii literatury Lwa Wygotskiego na tle innych sposobów rozumienia pojęcia. Na podstawie rekonstrukcji reaktologicznego rozumienia tekstu jako bodźca, zestawione ze sobą zostają różne zastosowania kategorii „strategii” w polskich badaniach literackich oraz w krytyce. Dzięki temu możliwe staje się odzyskanie pojęcia psychologii literatury i odcięcie go od niego niekorzystnych skojarzeń: panpsychologizmu, biografizmu albo pretendowania interpretatorów do miana diagnosty – czy to wobec bohaterów literackich, czy twórców.
Convex hypersurfaces with prescribed Musielak-Orlicz-Gauss image measure
Authors: Li Qi-Rui , Yi Caihong
Published: January 2023

In this article, we study the Musielak-Orlicz-Gauss image problem based on the Gauss curvature flow in Li et al. We deal with some cases in which there is no uniform estimate for the Gauss curvature flow. By the use of the topological method in Guang et al., a special initial condition is chosen such that the Gauss curvature flow converges to a solution of the Musielak-Orlicz-Gauss image problem.

Published: January 2023

The electrolysis of renewable energy to produce hydrogen has become a strategy for supporting a decarbonized economy. However, it is typically not cost-effective compared to conventional carbon-emitting methods. Due to the predicted intermediate of low-and zero-marginal-cost renewable energy sources, the ability of electrolysis to connect with electricity pricing offers a novel way to cost reduction. Moreover, renewables, particularly photovoltaics, have a deflationary effect on the value of the grid when they are deployed. This study investigates solar electrolysis configurations employing photovoltaic cells to feed a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer for hydrogen production. Using experimental meteorological data at 1-min precision, the system has been evaluated in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Positioned at the yearly optimum tilt angle for the selected site, the solar array is rated at 12 kWp. Temperature effects on solar module energy loss are taken into account. Several electrolyzers with capacities ranging from 2 to 14 kW in terms of hydrogen production were examined to determine the efficacy and efficiency of renewable sources. MATLAB was utilized for the simulation procedure, with a 2021–2035 project lifespan in mind. The results suggest that a variety of potentially cost-competitive options exist for systems with market configurations that closely approximate wholesale renewable hydrogen. At 4313 h of operation per year, the planned photovoltaic array generated 18,892 kWh of energy. The achieved hydrogen production cost ranges between $5.39/kg and $3.23/kg, with an ideal electrolyzer capacity of 8 kW matching a 12 kWp photovoltaic array capable of producing 450 kg/year of hydrogen at a cost of $3.23/kg.

Objectives

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is an innovative teaching pedagogy involving faculty collaboration and student co-learning across global partner schools. Guided by the cross-cultural alignment model, the purpose of this educational research project was to analyze the impact of COIL on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing students in two global partner schools and to determine if groups of students were impacted differently.

Methods

Students engaged in synchronous and asynchronous learning sessions using a secure digital platform over several weeks. Data was gathered from students using an optional, anonymous, online, retrospective pre-posttest survey.

Results

COIL enhances student understanding of key global nursing concepts and culturally responsive care. Differences across schools were observed.

Conclusions

COIL is a feasible and cost-effective way to integrate global education into the curriculum of undergraduate nursing education. Recommendations for future COIL experiences are made.
An exceptionally rare case of Cushing’s syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH syndrome due to olfactory neuroblastoma in childhood
Authors: Özhan Bayram , Yıldırım Çakar Didem , Gülten Gülsün , Yalçın Nagihan
Published: January 2023

Objectives

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion/syndrome (EAS) is caused by excess secretion of ACTH leading to hypercortisolism by non-pituitary, commonly malignant origins. We present a rare case of esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) complicated by EAS in the follow-up period.

Case presentation

A child presented with nasal obstruction at the age of 10 months. Polypoid mass obstructing the right nasal passage was detected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion limited within the nasal cavity. The lesion was completely removed by nasal endoscopic surgery. The pathologic examination revealed a diagnosis of esthesioneuroblastoma. It was confined to the nasal cavity so chemotherapy/radiotherapy was not administered and began to follow up. At 28 months of age, he presented with rapid weight gain. Laboratory data were consistent with Cushing’s syndrome (CS). High-dose dexamethasone suppression test and imaging studies led us to think of ectopic ACTH syndrome originated from ENB relapse. After partial resection of the tumor, ketoconazole treatment was started along with chemotherapy. Hypercortisolemia was kept under control with ketoconazole treatment as long as the treatment was maintained.

Conclusions

Cushing syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder. Adrenal sources of hypercortisolism and ectopic sources of ACTH overproduction should be investigated especially in young children.
