INTRODUCTION:

Incidental durotomy, a known complication of spinal surgery, can lead to persistent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak and pseudomeningocele if unrecognized or incompletely repaired.

METHODS:

A retrospective review was performed to determine demographic, procedural, and outcome characteristics for patients who underwent US-EBP for symptomatic postoperative pseudomeningocele.

RESULTS:

Overall, 48 patients who underwent 49 unique episodes of care were included. The average age and BMI were 60.5±12.6 years and 27.8±4.50 kg/m2, respectively. The most frequent index operation was laminectomy (24.5%) and 36.7% of surgeries were revision operations. Durotomy was intended or recognized in 73.4% of cases, and the median time from surgery to symptom development was 7 (IQR 4-16) days. A total of 61 US-EBPs were performed, with 51.0% of patients experiencing resolution of their symptoms after the first US-EBP. An additional 20.4% were successful with multiple US-EBP attempts. Complications occurred in 14.3% of cases and the median clinical follow-up was 4.3 (IQR 2.4-14.5) months.

CONCLUSIONS:

This manuscript represents the largest series in the literature describing US-EBP for the treatment of postoperative pseudomeningocele.

Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that can help to treat and control bleeding. Recently, many studies have discussed TXA as an effective medication for traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is a current controversy and debate for the benefit of TXA using in TBI patients.

METHODS:

A computer literature search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted from inception until July 2021. Studies comparing TXA versus no TXA in TBI patients were selected for the analysis, and all relevant outcomes were pooled in the meta-analysis using Review Manager Software.

RESULTS:

Ten studies with a total of 36692 patients were included in the meta-analysis. TXA could significantly cut the risk of mortality (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.99, P=0.02) and growth of hemorrhagic mass (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.00, P=0.05). No significant difference were found between TXA and placebo groups in terms of “need for neurosurgery” (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.91-1.07, P=0.76), “deep venous thrombosis” (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.74-1.36, P=0.97), “pulmonary embolism” (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.76-1.22, P=0.76), “myocardial infarction” (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.59-1.13, P=0.22), “stroke” (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.72-1.18, P=0.52), “seizure” (RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.88-1.22, P=0.66), and “length of ICU stay” (MD 0.68, 95% CI -4.04 to 5.40, P=0.78).

CONCLUSIONS:

TXA significantly reduces the incidence of mortality and growth of hemorrhagic mass in TBI patients. However, current evidence does not support any benefits in deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, or seizure.
828 The Impact of a Night Float System on Neurosurgery Resident Operative Experience
Authors: Lazaro Tyler , Katlowitz Kalman , Karas Patrick Jacob , Srinivasan Visish M. , Rao Ganesh , Patel Akash J.
Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Traditionally, resident call had been based on alternating call between residents in the call pool, requiring residents to work 24-hour shifts multiple times per week. However, to comply with an 80-hour work week, many programs moved toward different “float” systems, dedicating one resident to be on call for a given period of time. For surgical subspecialities, however, there has been some reticence to adopt night float due to concern for the loss of operative experience. In this study, we describe our training program’s transition to the night float system and its impact on the resident operative experience.

METHODS:

We conducted a single program study of resident surgical case volume before and after the implementation of night float 3 of the 5 hospitals at our program over a 6-year period from 2014 to 2020. Surgical cases were obtained from the ACGME case log database. Overall surgical cases were collected from individual hospital databases.

RESULTS:

After the implementation of night float, there was a significant decrease in overnight call burden, specifically for senior residents who saw a decrease in call from 112 calls a year to 16. Across the three hospitals involved in the night float rotation, an average of 33 pages and 5 consults occurred each night, with a case occurring once every once every 2.75 days. Logged procedures significantly increased after the initiation of night float for participating hospitals (p<0.05, t-test), while cases at non-night float hospitals remained the same. This rise was commiserate with a global increase in hospital cases, suggesting that residents were able to take advantage of increasing opportunities. This difference was mainly driven by senior resident cases (p=0.010, t-test), as juniors and chiefs did not show significant differences in case logs (p>0.40, t-test).

CONCLUSIONS:

The transition to a night float call system improved our residents’ operative experience by increasing their opportunities to participate in cases. In particular, senior residents had fewer night time call requirements and showed a significant increase in logged case volume.
833 Potential Palliative Role for Neoadjuvant Arterial Embolization in Patients with Spine Metastases
Authors: Gibbs David Charles , Damante Mark A. , Dibs Khaled , Blakaj Dukagjin , Elder James Bradley
Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Approximately two-thirds of all cancer patients will develop bone metastasis, and the spine is the most common site.1 Spine metastases may lead to significant pain, instability, and/or neurological morbidity. A high rate of local control can be achieved with local therapies such as radiation and surgery, but persistent pain is described among some patients. Prior clinical research demonstrated that arterial embolization without surgery may improve pain associated with spine metastases.2 This study aimed to determine the effects of embolization on pain in patients undergoing surgical decompression and stabilization.

METHODS:

A retrospective single-center review between 2012 and 2020 identified 117 patients receiving adjuvant SRS or SBRT following surgical intervention for spine metastases. The study group included various primary tumor types and patients treated with laminectomy and/or varying degrees of vertebrectomy. Data analyzed included demographic information, embolization and surgical details, KPS, defensive veterans pain rating scale (DVPRS), dose of radiotherapy, and daily doses of analgesic medications.

RESULTS:

Of 117 patients, 47 (40.2%) underwent preoperative embolization. Forty-nine (70%) and 24 (51.1%) patients underwent laminectomy/partial vertebrectomy in the non-embolization and embolization cohorts, respectively. Demographics were similar between groups at baseline. DVPRS scores did not differ by primary tumor histopathology (p = 0.63). DVPRS daily average and maximum rest scores decreased from 5.6 to 3.7, p < 0.001, and 5.7 to 3.8, p < 0.001, respectively following embolization. Throughout postoperative days 1-14, pain scores and daily doses of analgesic medications were largely similar between cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS:

Preoperative arterial embolization decreases pain scores immediately after the procedure, consistent with prior literature. This palliative effect largely disappears in the postoperative period, likely due to surgical pain. Future prospective studies identifying long-term palliative effects of embolization for spine metastasis are needed.

Published: March 2022

Objective:

Major liver resection is an effective treatment option for patients with liver malignancy. The future liver remnant (FLR) volume and complications after portal vein embolization (PVE) were compared between the ipsilateral right portal vein (PTPE) and transileocolic (TIPE) approaches.

Methods:

A total of 42 patients (TIPE, n = 22; PTPE, n = 20) underwent right lobectomy after PVE. CT and hepatobiliary scintigraphy were repeated before and after PVE. The blood examination findings and the FLR values (FLRCT: calculated from CT, %FLRCT: FLRCT ratio, %FLRSPECT: FLR ratio using single photon emission CT, FLRCT/BS: FLRCT to body surface ratio) were compared between two approach sites. The complications and mortality were also analyzed after PVE and major right hepatectomy.

Results:

There were no significant differences in the patient characteristics, blood examination findings or FLR values between two groups. Adequate liver regeneration was observed without significant differences between PTPE and TIPE (increased ratio of FLRCT: 8.7% vs 19.2%, p = 0.15 [25–75 percentile: 17.1–60.4], %FLRCT: 11.2% vs 8.3%, p = 0.25 [6.3–13.3], %FLRSPECT: 15.4% vs 19.2%, p = 0.09 [16.0–22.4], FLRCT/BS: 33.6% vs 47.1%, p = 0.19 [17.2–60.4], respectively), but TIPE required a significantly longer procedure time than PTPE [181.4 min vs 108.7 min, p < 0.01 (103.3–193.5)]. However, one patient was converted to TIPE due to bleeding during PTPE. After right lobectomy, portal vein stenosis or thrombosis was noted in three patients [two with TIPE (9.1%) and one with PTPE (5%)] and three TIPE patients died within 90 days (13.6%) after right hepatectomy.

Conclusion:

FLR volume significantly increased after PVE, regardless of the approach sites; however, PTPE is a useful technique with a shorter procedure time.
Contemporary imaging of inguinal hernia and pain
Authors: Plumb Andrew A , Rajeswaran Gajan , Abbasi Maaz Ali , Masci Lorenzo , Warren Oliver , Wilson Jonathan
Published: March 2022

Inguinal hernias are the commonest type of hernia, and are frequently encountered by general, abdominal and musculoskeletal radiologists. Such hernias may cause discomfort or pain; but many other conditions may cause pain in a similar location, meaning it is not always straightforward to determine the underlying cause of a particular patient’s symptoms. Although surgical fixation of hernia has high success rates with low recurrence, ongoing symptoms are common after apparently uncomplicated surgery. In particular, post-surgical chronic groin pain can be highly problematic in some patients. In this review, we highlight the relevant surgical and imaging anatomy, common modes of clinical presentation, contemporary surgical approaches to the repair of inguinal hernia, imaging techniques to diagnose such hernias in both unoperated and operated groins and mimics of hernia-related pain.
The impact of altering participant MRI scanning position on back muscle volume measurements
Authors: Alharthi Salman , Meakin Jude , Wright Chris , Fulford Jonathan
Published: March 2022

Objectives:

Muscle volume may reflect both strength and functional capability and hence is a parameter often measured to assess the effect of various interventions. The aim of the current study was to determine the sensitivity of muscle volume calculations on participant postural position and hence gauge possible errors that may arise in longitudinal studies, especially those where an intervention leads to large muscle changes and potentially the degree of spinal curvature.

Methods:

Twenty healthy participants (22–49 years, 10 male and 10 female), were recruited and MRI images acquired with them lying in four different positions; neutral spine (P1), decreased lordosis (P2), increased lordosis (P3) and neutral spine repeated (P4). Images were analysed in Simpleware ScanIP, and lumbar muscle volume and Cobb’s angle, as an indicator of spine curvature, determined.

Results:

After comparing volume determinations, no statistically significant differences were found for P1 - P2 and P1 - P4, whereas significant changes were determined for P2 - P3 and P1 - P3. P2 and P3 represent the two extremes of spinal curvature with a difference in Cobb’s angle of 17°. However, the mean difference between volume determinations was only 29 cm3. These results suggest the differences in muscle volume determinations are generally greater with increasing differences in curvature between measurements, but that overall the effects are small.

Conclusions:

Thus, generally, spinal muscle volume determinations are robust in terms of participant positioning.

Advances in knowledge:

Differences in muscle volume calculations appear to become larger the greater the difference in spinal curvature between positions. Thus, spinal curvature should not have a major impact on the results of spinal muscle volume determinations following interventions in longitudinal studies.
The outcome of an automated assessment of trabecular pattern in intraoral radiographs as a fracture risk predictor
Authors: Gullberg Joanna , Sundh Daniel , Johansson Lisa , Isberg Per-Erik , Lorentzon Mattias , Lindh Christina
Published: March 2022

Objectives:

This study aims to investigate if automated analyses of the trabecular pattern in intraoral radiographs independently contribute to fracture risk assessment when other risk factors incorporated in the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) are taken into account. A secondary aim is to explore the correlation between the automated trabecular pattern assessment in intraoral radiographs and Trabecular Bone Score (TBS).

Methods:

A total of 567 intraoral radiographs from older females participating in a large population-based study (SUPERB) based in Gothenburg, Sweden, were selected to analyse trabecular pattern using semi-automated and fully automated software. Associations between trabecular pattern analysis and incident fractures were studied using Cox proportional hazard model, unadjusted and adjusted for FRAX risk factors (previous fracture, family history of hip fracture, smoking, corticosteroids, rheumatoid arthritis, without and with bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck). In addition, the correlation between trabecular pattern analysis and TBS of the lumbar spine was investigated using Pearson correlation analysis.

Results:

Neither the unadjusted nor the adjusted trabecular pattern analysis in intraoral radiographs was significantly associated with any fracture or major osteoporotic fracture (MOF). A weak correlation was found between semi-automated trabecular pattern analysis and TBS. No correlation was found between the fully automated trabecular pattern analysis and TBS.

Conclusions:

The present study shows that semi-automated and fully automated digital analyses of the trabecular pattern in intraoral radiographs do not contribute to fracture risk prediction. Furthermore, the study shows a weak correlation between semi-automated trabecular pattern analysis and TBS.
The sense of coherence and the health behavior of students medical and non-medical universities
Authors: Pasieka Martyna , Zdziarski Krzysztof
Published: March 2022

The article presents the sense of coherence in the perspective of health behaviors of students of medical and non-medical universities. The first part introduces the concepts of the sense of coherence and health-related behaviors. The sense of coherence was explored using the Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29), and health behaviors with the Health Behavior Inventory (IZZ). The group taking part in the study consisted of 216 people - 90 students of medical universities and 126 students of non-medical universities. Research results indicate that there is a relationship between the sense of coherence and health behaviors in the study population. Students of medical and non-medical universities differ statistically significantly in terms of health behaviors. In terms of the sense of coherence, the difference is close to statistical significance, which does not make it possible to present unambiguous conclusions. It was noticed that there is a difference in the declared health behaviors due to gender and that there is a relationship between the frequency of physical activity and health behaviors.

Improved cognition impairment by activating cannabinoid receptor type 2: Modulating CREB/BDNF expression and impeding TLR-4/NFκBp65/M1 microglia signaling pathway in D-galactose-injected ovariectomized rats
Authors: Abd El-Rahman Sahar S. , Fayed Hany M.
Published: March 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by an active inflammatory response induced by the brain’s deposition and accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) is expressed in specific brain areas, modulating functions, and pathophysiologies in CNS. Herein, we aimed to evaluate whether activation of CB2R can improve the cognitive impairment in the experimental AD-like model and determine the involved intracellular signaling pathway. Injection of D-galactose (150 mg/kg, i.p.) was performed to urge AD-like features in bilaterally ovariectomized female rats (OVC/D-gal rats) for 8-weeks. Then, AM1241, a CB2R-agonist (3 and 6 mg/kg), was injected intraperitoneally starting from the 6th week. Treatment with AM1241, significantly down-regulated; Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4), Myd88 (TLR4-adaptor protein) genes expression, and the pro-inflammatory cytokines (NFκB p65, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12). In contrast, it enhanced BDNF (the brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and CREB (the cyclic AMP response element-binding protein) as well as the immune-modulatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) levels. Moreover, AM1241 lessened the immune-expression of GFAP, CD68, caspase-3, and NFκB p65 markers and mended the histopathological damage observed in OVC/D-gal rats by decreasing the deposition of amyloid plaques and degenerative neuronal lesions, as well as improving their recognition and learning memory in both novel object recognition and Morris water maze tests. In conclusion, activating CB2R by the selective agonist AM1241 can overrun cognitive deficits in OVC/D-gal rats through modulation of TLR4/ NFκB p65 signaling, mediated by modulating CREB/BDNF pathway, thereby can be applied as a potential therapeutic strategy in AD treatment.

A Player’s Guide to the Psychology of Nostalgia and Videogame Music
Authors: Vitalino Michael , Rone Vincent E.
Published: March 2022

Videogame music (VGM) can elicit deeply nostalgic experiences, which stem from a confluence of psychological, musical, and ludological factors. Through plural-disciplinary study, we demonstrate how VGM can provoke nostalgia and, conversely, how nostalgia can surface in VGM experiences. We first examine the intimate relationship between nostalgia and music through the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) of the brain, which governs aspects of music cognition and emotion. Second, we offer a framework outlining principles for emotional induction through VGM by identifying musical components that provoke emotional states during gameplay and result in nostalgia later in life. Finally, we address how immersion in videogame play provides opportunities to experience music-based nostalgia. Emotions and relationships can arise as a consequence of play, which provides fertile ground for the seed of nostalgia. This paper presents a nexus of scholarship to understand their gaming and VGM experiences through the lens of nostalgia.
My Childhood Is in Your Hands: Videogame Concerts as Commodiﬁed and Tangible Nostalgic Experiences
Authors: Hunt Elizabeth
Published: March 2022

Since the 1980s, concerts of video game music have become a widespread phenomenon attracting video game fans to classical venues across the globe. The commercial success of these concerts is exceptional and, I propose in my research, is partly due to their nostalgic appeal. This chapter examines the commercialisation of nostalgia by demonstrating nostalgia’s role in informing repertoire curation and examining how certain video games have become artifacts symbolic of childhood. Through case studies of Video Games Live, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses and Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions, this chapter demonstrates different methods used to invoke nostalgia. Two concepts of concert success will be discussed in this chapter as case studies will analyze (1) commercial success via the commodification of nostalgia and (2) the triggering of nostalgic feelings to invoke positive emotions and enhance audience enjoyment.
Remembering the Rules: Immersive Nostalgia in Final Fantasy Leitmotifs
Authors: Aksoy Can
Published: March 2022

This paper explains how videogame leitmotifs employ nostalgia to increase player immersion in virtual worlds. It first theorizes how nostalgic references unrelated to leitmotifs hinder immersion. Re-released titles, re-mastered videogames, and “nostalgia games” entertain by making nostalgic references to classic games. This effort forces players to acknowledge that they are playing a simulation of the past, and hinders immersion. However, nostalgic references avoid this problem when leitmotifs are their vehicle. Leitmotifs are often used in videogames to increase immersion by unobtrusively explaining game systems from the background of play. Final Fantasy (FF) games illustrate how nostalgic memory associated with a leitmotif bolsters this process. FF has used the same leitmotifs over the entire series. When a contemporary FF game plays a familiar leitmotif, it first entertains fans with their nostalgic memories of their past titles, then reminds them of their familiarity with gameplay rules, and ultimately increases immersion.

Published: March 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic many artists, researchers and academics have continued their vital work in applied arts and health. In this time of challenge, the loss of embodied connection with others has led many to feel overwhelmed, filled with anxiety, fear and overall disconnection. This collective resonance can be similar to what occurs when one is exposed to traumatic events, including fight, flight or freeze responses. Recent research points to the positive effects of rhythmic activities, that the arts provide, to address these reactions and re-regulate the nervous system. Many of the articles in this issue demonstrate how the arts have been utilized towards addressing the loss of embodied rhythmic affective states, sharing of deep emotional states, providing a path towards health and well-being. These research articles and ‘Notes from the Field’ illustrate once again the power of the arts to resonate and bring individuals and communities together.

THE FIGHT AGAINST MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORISM FINANCING: THE PORTUGUESE EXPERIENCE
Authors: Conceição Ana Raquel , Piton André Paulino
Published: March 2022

Contextualização do tema:When it comes to investigating terrorism and, consequently, money laundering, the consideration of balancing the defence of rights and liberties becomes less stringent in the eyes of States. They tend to automatically replace community or the collective interest. It is, therefore, important to question if the weighting and balancing result from the legal text. Objetivos: One of the legal instruments is Act 83/2017, of August 18th, and we will review its regime by introducing its main measures and assessing the (dis)respect for fundamental rights. Metodologia: For the development of the research, the inductive method was used from the literature review.Resultados: The number of entities and duties leads us to conclude that States, without any doubt, cannot fight these crimes on their own. They must unite, apply measures that can produce effects in every country, but even when doing so, they need their citizens to help them in this fight; such citizens are those that deal with financing activities, those who deal with criminals themselves or even those with relation to people that have political or economic power.

A magyar háztartások pénzügyi megtakarításai és vagyona a 2008-2009-es válságot követően
Authors:   , Nagy-Kékesi Zsuzsa
Published: March 2022

A magyar háztartások nettó pénzügyi vagyona 2008 és 2020 között több mint meghárom-szorozódott: azaz közel 40 ezer milliárd forinttal nőtt. A háztartások GDP-arányos nettó pénzügyi vagyona is több mint 55 százalékponttal emelkedett – így a lakossági pénzügyi vagyon nökedése számottevően hozzájárult a gazdaság külső egyensúlyi pozíciójának javulásához, így a külföldi for-rásokra való ráutaltság mérséklődéséhez is. Míg a kétezres évek elejétől a lakosság egyre inkább eladósodott, a 2008-2009-es válságot követően a törlesztések révén jelentősen csökkent a lakosság hitelállománya. Ezzel párhuzamosan a lakosság GDP-arányos pénzügyi eszközei is számottevően, mintegy 40 százalékponttal nőttek 2008-2020 között. Az e dolgozatban bemutatott kutatásaim során ezért elsősorban a 2008-2009-es válságot kö-vető, 2020-ig tartó időszak megtakarítási folyamataira koncentráltam. Disszertációmban arra kere-sem a választ, hogy makroszinten milyen tényezők járulhattak hozzá a magyar háztartások megta-karításának 2008-2009-es válságot követő jelentős emelkedéséhez és portfólióösszetételének meg-változásához. Emellett azt is vizsgálom, hogy mikroszinten milyen faktorok határozhatják meg a magyar háztartások pénzügyi vagyonának mértékét és összetételét. Az elméleti keretrendszer és az eddigi empirikus kutatások ismertetése után a harmadik rész-ben egy leíró elemzés segítségével azt vizsgálom, hogy a 2008-2009-es pénzügyi válságot követően milyen tényezők állhattak a magyar megtakarítási folyamatok mögött és körbejárom, hogyan alakult a háztartások pénzügyi vagyonának összetétele és milyen változások történtek a magyar lakosság pénzügyi portfóliójának összetételében. A negyedik fejezetben hipotéziseket fogalmaztam meg annak érdekében, hogy pontosabb képet kapjak a háztartások vagyoni helyzetéről. A második kutatási kérdésre – Milyen faktorok ha-tározhatják meg a magyar háztartások bruttó pénzügyi vagyonának mértékét és összetételét? – egy 2015 óta elérhető, viszonylag új mikroadatbázis segítségével, a Household Finance and Con-sumption Survey felmérés segítségével válaszoltam. A lakosság portfólióallokációs döntéseit is vizsgáltam, ezen belül is azt, hogy a kockázatos és nem kockázatos eszközök közötti választását milyen tényezők befolyásolják. Meggyőződésem, hogy ez kutatás hozzájárul ahhoz, hogy jobban megértsük a magyar meg-takarítások szintjét és összetételét befolyásoló faktorokat, és választ kapunk arra is, milyen tényezők állhattak a 2008-2009-es válságot követő alkalmazkodás mögött.
The Integration of Knowledge (IoK) Methodological Approach to Reforming the Development of Islamic Economics, Banking, and Finance (IEBF) in Light of Maqasid (Objectives) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Authors: Omercic Jasmin
Published: March 2022

The contemporary world has reached a critical stage of development that imposes reforms at the highest and grassroots levels. Humanity realized that the current lifestyle increasingly threatens their welfare. Hence, we perceive that the Integration of Knowledge (IoK) methodological approach to reforming the development of Islamic economics, banking, and finance (IEBF) is central to transforming such a conventional approach to life. A reformed IEBF would focus on the maqasid (objectives) of shariah and the SDGs. The qualitative nature of this paper appraises the IoK methodological approach through a methodological pluralism recognizing rational and revelational sources of knowledge. This also involves methods of library research and critical content analysis. Firstly, an introduction reveals the distinctiveness of the IoK methodological approach as a shift from and based on the Islamization of Knowledge (IOK) movement. Its potential to reform IEBF becomes apparent because of common philosophical foundations like IOK’s. We highlight in brief the IEBF compatibility with and to reform via the IoK methodological approach and so attain targeted maqasid and SDGs. Secondly, a review of extant literature explains why the IOK and IE represent the solution to reform IEBF in contemporary times, to overcome mainstream economic, financial, and banking issues, and to fulfil maqasid and SDGs. Thirdly, findings show how the philosophical foundations of IOK represent the basis for future IEBF development via the IoK methodological approach. Moreover, we identify IoK methodological principles to appraise theories for IEBF development in light of the maqasid and SDGs agenda. Lastly, we conclude and provide actionable recommendations.

Kipar Orazio Bonetti između Furlanije, Kvarnera i Dalmacije
Authors: Pintarić Mario , Tulić Damir
Published: March 2022

Orazio Bonetti jedan je od brojnih furlanskih kipara djelatnih u 18. stoljeću, a koji je u Hrvatskoj bio gotovo posve nepoznat. Rodio se oko 1700. godine najvjerojatnije u Veneciji gdje je započeo školovanje da bi potom otišao u Furlaniju te Ljubljanu postavši suradnik Francesca Robbe. Zbog oskudnih dokumenata te izgubljenih radova, majstorov život i stvaralački itinerari velikim su djelom ostali nepoznati i nepovezani. Ovom prigodom Bonettiju se pripisuju kipovi u salezijanskom samostanu u San Vito al Tagliamento, crkvi San Cristoforo u Udinama, župnoj crkvi u Nogaredo di Prato i u Adegliaccu. U drugoj polovici četrdesetih godina 18. stoljeća Bonetti je s obitelji živio u Ljubljani te je ostvario suradnju s riječkim kiparom Antonijem Michelazzijem izradivši kipove na oltaru Gospe Karmelske u župnoj crkvi u Pazinu. Potom se preselio u Rijeku, da bi se nakon 1763. godine zaputio prema Dalmaciji. U Orlecu na Cresu isklesao je kipove za glavni oltar župne crkve, a 1766. mramornu dekoraciju oltara Bezgrešnog začeća u zadarskoj katedrali. Monumentalne kipove sv. Silvestra i sv. Tome, danas u Lovreću, izradio je 1768. za nekadašnju crkvu Sv. Silvestra u Zadru. Majstorova prisutnost u Zadru indirektno je potvrđena pronalaskom zapisa o smrti njegove žene Catarine koja je pokopana 1770. u crkvi Svete Marcele.
Bishop Vincenzo Arrigoni (1599-1626) and Some New Insights Concerning the Altarpiece by Filippo Zaniberti (1585-1636) in the Šibenik Cathedral of Saint James
Authors: Šitina Ana
Published: March 2022

The early period of the post-Tridentine renewal in the Šibenik Diocese is marked by Bishop Vincenzo Arrigoni’s(1599-1626) commissions and donations. The altarpiece in the Šibenik cathedral executed by Filippo Zanberti (1585-1636) has been considered one of the many works commissioned by Arrigoni in the first decades of the 17th century. The fact that both Zaniberti and Arrigoni were originally from Brescia contributed to this false conclusion. However, the newly found will of Lucija Ivetić dating from 1626 and the archival data from 1635 describing the acquisition of the altarpiece in Venice provide new insights concerning the persons who commissioned the altarpiece from Zaniberti and the time of its execution.

Authors: Vargas García Kelly
Published: March 2022

Este artículo aborda la obra de la artista Frida Kahlo considerando la función del vestido y el cuerpo en psicoanálisis. Este trabajo, desarrollado a través del método de desciframiento propuesto por Jacques Lacan, comporta dos momentos: en el primero, el vestido y el semblante, se explora la función del traje de Tehuana y su relación con el sintagma Lacaniano: La mujer no existe; y en el segundo, el cuerpo y el nacimiento de la artista, se resalta la dimensión imaginaria del cuerpo y la configuración de la identidad en el acto creador.

Authors: Pedraza Jurado Yeison Mauricio , Álvarez Santoyo Juan Hildebrando
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo describe los aspectos relevantes que permitieron diseñar una propuesta curricular para el fortalecimiento de la competencia científica en estudiantes de básica secundaria del Colegio San Francisco de Asís, el Playón, Santander. Una propuesta que incluye una fundamentación pedagógica, evaluativa y didáctica derivada del análisis de algunos componentes de la gestión académica, tales como currículo, práctica de aula, plan de mejoramiento y uso pedagógico de evaluaciones externas.

La investigación se realizó con un enfoque cualitativo, siguiendo las fases de la investigación acción. Un estudio aplicado a una población participante de 27 estudiantes de noveno grado y 8 docentes de la Sede A del Colegio San Francisco de Asís. Se empleó dos técnicas de investigación: El análisis documental y la entrevista semiestructurada, lo cual permitió diseñar instrumentos de investigación como la rúbrica de valoración de textos y la guía de entrevista semiestructurada. Instrumentos que describieron y exploraron detalles del currículo de ciencias naturales, pruebas Saber, los planes de mejoramiento y prácticas de aula.

La información recopilada se analizó y sistematizó mediante el programa Atlas ti 8.4 para construir las categorías y subcategorías, códigos y mapas de redes. Los resultados se evaluaron mediante el uso de una rúbrica de análisis multimétodo y la lectura hermenéutica del investigador. Estos resultados indican que a partir de componentes de la gestión académica es factible caracterizar una propuesta curricular pertinente para la competencia científica amparada en fundamentos teóricos del currículo, la evaluación procesal y formativa, la didáctica conectivista de Siemens y la pedagogía constructivista.
Estudio sobre la trascendencia de las prácticas de laboratorio y la instrucción por pares en la enseñanza de la Física
Authors: López Suspes Framsol , Reina Medrano Jerson Iván
Published: March 2022

Se presenta una metodología de enseñanza aprendizaje a través de la implementación de dos técnicas de trabajo en equipo de forma simultánea: la instrucción entre pares (IP) y la realización en casa de prácticas de laboratorio de Física. La investigación fue de carácter cuantitativo por lo que se siguió las etapas correspondientes a este tipo de estudio. El desarrollo de la técnica se analizó en dos grupos de estudiantes independientes, uno correspondiente al grupo control (GC, 33 estudiantes), y el otro al grupo experimental (GE, 31 estudiantes). El método mostró un avance significativo en el aprendizaje de la asignatura de Física en el GE comparado con el GC. El progreso alcanzó una mejora de aproximadamente el 15% en el GE cuando se realizó la técnica de IP, y un aumento hasta del 23.2% cuando se implementó las prácticas del laboratorio en el hogar. Particularmente, las experiencias del laboratorio se realizaron con materiales de uso cotidiano.
The Effectiveness of Hangeul Phonics CAI Instruction for Students With Learning Difficulties: Comparison of the Real-Time Distance Learning Group and Distance Learning-In Class Learning Combination Group
Authors: Yang Minwha , Kim Bobae ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: March 2022

This study was designed to investigate whether CAI Hangeul phonics instruction, which was developed based on direct instruction, is also as effective when it was delivered via the real-time distance learning system only, and compared to when it was delivered in a combined setting, in-class learning, and real-time distance learning. Thirty-nine first and second graders were recruited from 20 elementary schools across four school districts. The combination group of 18 students received Hangeul phonics CAI instruction by visiting reading support centers run by the school districts. They also received CAI instruction via the real-time distance learning system. The real-time distance learning only group received the same CAI instruction from their schools or from their own homes. The results revealed that both the combination group and the distance learning only group improved their phonics abilities across all measures. Also, no difference was found regarding the students’ improvements between the two CAI groups. This study revealed an interesting result: When the teachers used a scientifically proven instructional software program, and if there is an adult present who supports the distance learning environments, CAI distance learning can bring sufficient improvements in young students’ phonics skills whether in-class instruction was added or not.

Authors: Han Eunhye , Kim Dongil ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: March 2022

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Education in Korea introduced a distance education system to each level of school. Still the academic achievement gap between low and high achievers continues to increase. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of writing programs based on the writing process and distance education for the writing skills and writing motivation for students at risk of writing learning disabilities. Firstly, the program was devised based on the curriculum of Korean language subjects within the common curriculum and validity of the program was secured through the content validity verification and pilot study. Subsequently, by applying a multiple-probe design across subjects, an intervention was conducted for a total of 26 sessions for four students at risk of writing learning disabilities in grades 3-4. Writing skill was analyzed through visual analysis and non-overlapping analysis PND, IRD, Tau-U), which are mainly used in single-subject research. Additionally, writing motivation was measured once each as a pre-post test by reconstructing the previously developed writing motivation test. As a result, in the visual analysis, most of the students showed an increasing trend in the intervention phase. The effect size of writing skills was also high, and composition skills was the highest among other variables of writing skills. As well, the pre-post average value for writing motivation was increased. Based on these results, we discussed the implications and significance of the study; we also presented the limitations of practice and made suggestions for further studies.
