Introduction

The Heart Team (HT) as a group of experienced specialists is responsible for optimal decision-making for high-risk cardiac patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HT functioning.

Methods

In this retrospective, single-center study, we evaluated the cooperation of HT in terms of the frequency of meetings, the number of consulted patients, and the trends in choosing the optimal treatment strategies for complex individuals with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) or valvular heart disease (VHD) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland.

Results

From 2016 to May 2022, 301 HT meetings were held, and a total of 4,183 patients with severe CAD (2,060 patients) or severe VHD (2,123 patients) were presented. A significant decrease in the number of HT meetings and consulted patients (2019: 49 and 823 vs. 2020: 44 and 542 and 2021: 45 and 611, respectively, P < 0.001) as well as changes in treatment strategies—increase of conservative, reduction of invasive (2019: 16.7 and 51.9 patients/month vs. 2020: 20.4 and 24.8 patients/month and 2021:19.3 and 31.6 patients/month, respectively, P < 0.001)—were demonstrated with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic slowly receded, the observed changes began to return to the pre-pandemic trends.

Conclusions

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a decrease in the number of HT meetings and consulted patients and significant reduction of invasive procedures in favor of conservative management. Further studies should be aimed to evaluate the long-term implications of this phenomenon.

Authors: Jayawickreme K. P. , Karunasena N. , Alawathugoda A. , Gamlath R. , Antonypillai C. N.
Published: July 2023

Adrenal insufficiency due to adrenal metastasis is rare and may be present only in 6.1% cases even in bilateral adrenal metastasis. The adrenal glands can maintain its cortisol axis until over 90% of adrenal cortex is destroyed. Bilateral large adrenal masses with adrenal insufficiency, though rare, should prompt further evaluation for a metastatic disease. We report a case of bilateral adrenal masses secondary to metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma causing adrenal insufficiency.
Frailty
Authors: Silva F. H. D. S. , Munasinghe R. M. R. H. , Ramadasa U.
Published: July 2023

Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that is accompanied by a greater degree of influence by varied stressors. It increases the speed of deterioration, morbidity and mortality. Frailty is generated by numerous factors that co-exist to generate a combined effect. Various instruments have been used to screen frailty in both the office setting and in the community. History taking and examination provide a timetested way of evaluating the causes. A comprehensive geriatric assessment with a multidisciplinary approach has been shown to facilitate this. Individualised physical and nutritional therapy with correction of causative conditions are important management strategies.

Аннотация: Статья посвящена искусствоведческому анализу авторской иллюстрации к литературному произведению Льюиса Кэрролла «Алиса в Стране чудес» в контексте развития мировой креативной индустрии. В исследовании рассматривается культурный феномен сказочной повести, написанной английским детским писателем Чарльзом Доджсоном под псевдонимом Льюис Кэрролл и изданной в 1865 году. Данное произведение оказало революционное влияние на формирование литературного жанра детского фэнтези, а авторские иллюстрации и эстетико-изобразительные стили, созданные художниками к «Алисе в Стране чудес», имели влияние на развитие абстрактно-образного мышления и познания мира у подрастающего поколения. Творчество известных художников-иллюстраторов объективно доказывает, что искусство детской книжной иллюстрации, наравне с другими изобразительными видами и жанрами, участвует в формировании художественно-эстетического и культурного стиля эпохи. Иллюстрация для детей важна так же, как сам текст книги, а для младшего возраста даже важнее текста, поскольку это своеобразный визуальный путь познания, обеспечивающий опыт постижения мира ребенком, и главная задача художника-иллюстратора состоит в динамическом расширении знания, получаемого посредством книги. Искусствоведческий анализ книжных иллюстраций различных художников к литературному произведению Льюиса Кэрролла «Алиса в Стране чудес» показывает широкое разнообразие авторских стилей и трактовок, каждый из которых отличается от других своим оригинальным художественным прочтением.

The specifics of evidence administration during the preliminary hearing
Authors: Chirtoaca Ion
Published: July 2023

In this article, an attempt has been made to highlight an uneven judicial practice regarding the decisions of the courts when requests for the administration of evidence are presented during the preliminary hearing. The authorization of the court at the preliminary hearing stage with requests for the administration of evidence is derived from the provisions of Article 347 of the Criminal Procedure Code. It should be noted that, so far, the Supreme Court of Justice, being responsible for unifying judicial practice and providing explanatory judgments and recommendations, has not issued any explanatory judgments regarding the preliminary hearing, which leads to an uneven judicial practice and often to the detriment of the defendant.
Áldás vagy átok? A munka és a munkaerőpiac jövőjét meghatározó tényezők
Authors: Gödör Zsuzsanna
Published: July 2023

A technikai technológiai innovációk, és a nyomukban meginduló fejlődés, rendszerint különböző formában és mértékben, de mindig is hatással volt a munka világára, a munkaerőpiaci folyamatokra, a munkát végző emberekre. Ezek a változások jelentős társadalmi hatásokkal járnak. Ezek egy része tartósnak bizonyul, más részük csak rövidtávon jelentkező, ezért átmeneti. A folyamatok egy része egyértelműen pozitív hatásokat eredményez: az új, tudás-intenzív iparágak megjelenése és megerősödése új esélyeket teremt a túlnépesedő társadalmak egyes problémáinak enyhítésére, és az emberi életminőség, az egyéni és társadalmi jóllét növelésére. Ugyanakkor a felgyorsuló technikai–technológiai fejlődés nyomán számtalan új, eddig ismeretlen kihívásnak kell megfelelnünk. A mostani változások sajátosságát leginkább azok korábban nem tapasztalt gyorsuló üteme, és sebessége jelenti. Mindez megnöveli a gazdasági döntések bizonytalanságát, ami egyértelmű munkapiaci hatásokat is eredményez. Azt ma már nem vitatják, hogy az információs technológiák elterjedésével meg kellett változnia a munka egyes jellemzőinek, és ennek nyomán a munkaerőhöz kapcsolódó foglalkoztatási formáknak is. A foglalkozási viszonyok folytonossá váló változása elengedhetetlenné tette az eddigi, munkavégzéssel kapcsolatos definíciók és magatartásformák átalakulását. A munka világának gyökeres átalakulását igényli és kikényszeríti az ipari forradalom küszöbön álló új periódusa. A tanulmány célja annak bemutatása, melyek a munka és a munkaerőpiac jövőbeni dimenziói, továbbá azok meghatározó és befolyásoló tényezői. Ennek keretében a munka és a munkaerőpiaci viszonyok ezzel kapcsolatos változásával, a változások társadalmi-gazdasági kiváltó okaival és várható következményeivel foglalkozik. Bemutatja a munka átalakuló világának hagyományostól eltérő új meghatározó tendenciáit, a fő érintettek, a munkavállalók és a munkaadók előtt álló kihívásokat.

Esta tecnologia seria útil para auxiliar o enfermeiro a prestar uma assistência ágil e de qualidade aos pacientes principalmente na região amazônica onde há inúmeros acidentes por serpentes. O que deve chamar atenção dos pesquisadores para que elaborem estudos envolvendo a temática.
Individual, the Social, and the Not Yet Being: Ecstatic Naturalism and a Metaphysics of Responsibility
Authors: Weidenbaum Jonathan
Published: July 2023

The mission of this essay is to outline the conditions for a metaphysics of responsibility—an ontology which encourages the morally and politically active form of life. The ecstatic naturalism of Robert Corrington, a contemporary development in American philosophy, is employed as a means of highlighting these conditions. As the work of Corrington integrates numerous influences from classical American thought, along with several Continental and Asian philosophies, a broad variety of figures and traditions are introduced throughout. The essay concludes with a comparison between ecstatic naturalism and process theology over a topic which surfaces repeatedly throughout the discussion: the question of evil.
XIX-wieczny tłumacz jako modelowy twórca. Na przykładzie polskich tłumaczy Szekspira – Stanisława Koźmiana, Leona Ulricha i Józefa Paszkowskiego
Authors: Siwek Karolina
Published: July 2023

Myśl: „Czy tłumacz jest twórcą?” od lat nurtuje badaczy przekładu. W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na to pytanie w ujęciu zaproponowanym przez Howarda Gardnera (1993). Jego zdaniem pojawienie się na ścieżce życia określonych etapów pozwala stwierdzić, czy opisywana osoba może być uznana za Twórcę. Analiza przeprowadzona w tym artykule opiera się na biografiach translatorskich trzech tłumaczy tekstów Williama Szekspira na język polski: Stanisława Koźmiana, Leona Ulricha i Józefa Paszkowskiego. Każdy z nich próbował pisać autorskie teksty, ale to właśnie twórczość przekładowa zapewniła im sławę w świecie literackim. Koźmian, Ulrich i Paszkowski żyli i pracowali w XIX wieku. Ścieżki ich życia wyraźnie się od siebie różniły, ale mimo to można na nich wyróżnić etapy przypisywane Modelowemu Twórcy Gardnera. Rekonstrukcja ich sytuacji społeczno-kulturowej, a przy tym translatorskiej drogi pozwala przeanalizować i zrozumieć strategie i decyzje, jakie podejmowali jako tłumacze. Te decyzje miały z kolei wpływ na wykonywane przekłady oraz wybór autorów i tekstów do tłumaczenia.
Albert Ballin (English edition)
Authors: Gerhardt Johannes
Published: July 2023

His was an unprecedented rise to the top: from the thirteenth child of a poor Jewish emigrant agent to the "sovereign of shipping" and "friend" of the Kaiser. It is hardly surprising that Alfred Ballin was one of the foremost figures of Wilhelmine Empire. From the beginning, he attracted attention at Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft, known as Hapag for short. Under its manager Ballin, Hapag became the largest shipping line in the world.

From 1907 until his tragic death on November 9th 1918, Ballin belonged to the board of trustees of the Hamburg Scientific Fondation, to which he also contributed in a special way.

Ballin's biography sketches the unusual life of this man, who personified perhaps more than any of his comtemporaries the prominence and power of the second German Empire but at the same time also experienced its limits and weaknesses.
Nomination of society and sociomorphic code of nomination: correlation of concepts
Authors: Wang Han
Published: July 2023

The subject of consideration is the nomination of society as a central fragment of the Russian language picture of the world and a sociomorphic language code based on comparison with society. The relevance of the study lies in the study of the ratio of means of secondary indirect nomination to designate society (sotsial’nyi lift) and the use of primary and secondary direct nomination of society to designate other fragments of the Russian language picture of the world (postavki oruzhiya “kapel’nym polivom”). The material of the press and oral talk-shows of experts (1160 examples) was analyzed. The methods of component analysis and the comparative method were used. The results of the study show the nominative activity of the Russian linguistic personality in the formal and informal nomination of society: the use of landscape (bol’shaya luzha), climatic (stoyat’ na raz”ezzhayushchikhsya l’dinakh), zoomorphic (giena Evropy), artifact (beskonechnyi dollar), historiomorphic (sharovarnyi Vermakht) metaphors; manifestation of the systemic organization of society’s nominations: synonymic series (rzhavyi Tolik, gospodin privatizais ryzhii vaucher Chubais; likhie – banditskie – pomoinye devyanostye), antonymic pairs (zastoi – nezhnyi Brezhnev), homonymous pairs (krasnaya Armiya ‘workers’-and-peasants’ army of the country of Soviets’ – krasnaya armiya ‘association of terrorist brigades of Italy’), thematic groups (time periods, leaders of states, professions, places of settlement, etc.); the appearance in this nominative field of historicisms (khrushchevskaya ottepel’, chlenovoz) and archaisms (okolotochnyi – uchastkovyi). The main functions of the informal nomination of society (epistemological, characterizing, adaptive, philosophical) are established. The results of the work can be used in linguistics, journalism, sociology, political science.
The Portrayal of Women in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House
Authors: Mocbil Dr. Ahmed Saeed Ahmed
Published: July 2023

This research investigates the portrayal of women characters in Henrik Ibsen's play, A Doll's House. Ibsen is the father of modern theater and often advocates for social issues in his plays. This study aims to shed light on the portrayal of women in this play and how they are different from each other, the study is an important to portray women's experiences in Ibsen's era. Ibsen himself champions gender parity, reflects in characters like Nora Helmer, Mrs. Linde and Anne Marie. The study uses a feminist framework to analyze the play's multiple feminist trends. Considerable attention will be devoted to illuminating the inequitable marriage system, the constraints impose upon women's autonomy, and their endeavor for emancipation. The study concluded that those women fought a lot to be free and did many unfortunate things to solve their problems. Researcher strongly suggested that there are stark differences between the women characters in this play. While Nora Helmer, Mrs. Linde, and Anne Marie seemed happy as the play began, they moved in parallel but in opposite directions. Nora left her husband's house to live an independent life, having her thoughts and decisions, and facing her fears about the future; Mrs. Linde and Anne Marie quickly overcame obstacles in life and grew up. They sacrificed a lot to get safety and provide for their families.
THE IMPACT OF SCHEMA THEORY ON IMPROVING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' WRITING PERFORMANCE
Authors: Alawdi Abdulmalik Mohammad
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to investigate the impact of applying schema theory in teaching and improving the English writing skills. It adopted a quasi-experimental-control group design. The sample consisted of (40) university students who studied English as a foreign language at Al-Adel University - Yemen during the academic year (2021/2022), twenty of them were assigned as the control group and the other (20) as the experimental group. A pre-test/post-test paragraph writing was used for data collection. The students' writings were gathered and corrected, and the scores were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results showed that there were statistical significant differences between the performance of the experimental and the control groups in the post-test in favor of the experimental group. Those results mean that schema theory has its positive effects in improving students' writing performance. The study recommended that teachers of English writing should vary their ways of teaching and encourage their students to use their prior knowledge to improve their writing skills.

Chronic Kidney Disease is an important Public Health problem due to its high rates of morbidity and mortality, it is a disease characterized by the slow and continuous loss of kidney function, a fact that causes, among other changes, the progressive accumulation of toxins and metabolism waste in the blood. . Thus, with the intention of removing impure and toxic substances from the blood and excess water in the body, hemodialysis becomes the most assertive method, although there are some restrictions due to this therapeutic treatment, such as dietary changes in basic and social daily activities. Objective: It aims to analyze the aspects that influence the good quality of life of the hemodialysis patient, and describe the importance of nursing care to the patient on hemodialysis, as well as the particularities of the disease and the role of the nurse. Methodology: bibliographic review with search in books, magazines, articles, publications by agencies and institutions such as the Ministry of Health. The search for information was based on data available online found on platforms such as: Scielo and Google Scholar. Conclusion: It is in nursing that many patients find solace and motivation to continue with the treatment. It was identified that the nurse and the nursing team have a fundamental role in helping the patient to have an improvement in the quality of life, guiding the patient to live with his limits and accompanying the evolution of the treatment, focusing on acting in a preventive way to possible complications with patients before, during and after hemodialysis, in addition to helping with emotional and family issues.
Pediatric solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas.
Authors: Samuel Ashish Sam , Boddu Deepthi , Sebastian Patricia , Thomas Alex , T Sreekanth K , Hegde Priyanka , Jehangir Susan
Published: July 2023

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) in
children is rare tumor with low malignant potential. Some tumors however
behave aggressively. There is very little literature on the management
of these variants especially in children. We share our experience of
managing large and recurrent SPN and explore the clinicopathological
findings correlating to the risk of recurrence. Methods: This is a
retrospective study of children who were treated for SPN between 2012
and 2022 at a tertiary care center in India. The clinicopathological
features and management strategies in these children were evaluated.
Results: 16 children with SPN were treated during this period (88%
girls). The median age of presentation was 12 years (IQR 9-14). All
children presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography gave a
definitive diagnosis in 81% of cases. The tumor predominantly involved
the head of the pancreas (n=9, 56%). Eight of nine children classified
as high-grade malignant had a benign course. One child had a recurrence
of the tumor 4 years after the initial resection and further recurrence
on chemotherapy. She required radiation therapy in addition to
reoperation following which she is disease free for 77 months. The
overall median follow-up was 46 months (IQR 18-72 months). Conclusion:
Complete resection of the tumor provides a cure in most patients with
SPN. Recurrent tumors require a multi-modality approach. Long-term
survival is good. Better prognostic criteria with immunohistochemistry
are required to predict the behavior of these tumors as the WHO criteria
for malignancy correlate poorly with clinical outcomes in childhood SPN.
Tree species identity and leaf ageing alter the composition of phyllosphere communities through changes in leaf traits
Authors: WANG LEI , Liu Zhili , Cecile Bres , Jin Guangze , Fanin Nicolas
Published: July 2023

Phyllosphere microorganisms are essential for plant growth and health,
notably through their action on nitrogen fixation and pathogens control.
However, whether and how the composition of phyllosphere communities
vary with plant traits and leaf age remain still unclear. We used
high-throughput sequencing to explore the phyllosphere microbial
diversity and composition communities in needles of different ages
(i.e., originating from different cohorts) for three evergreen
coniferous species (Pinus koraiensis, Picea asperata and Abies fabri).
We then assessed the relationships between the composition of
phyllosphere microorganisms and needle traits. The results showed that
needle age explained relatively well the phyllosphere microbiome α
diversity, whereas tree species identity explained the phyllosphere
microorganisms β diversity. The changes in the composition of
phyllosphere microbial communities between newly-formed and perennial
needles were greatest in Pinus koraiensis. Overall, Cyanobacteria and
Gammaproteobacteria were dominant in newly-formed needles. Plant traits
such as leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf mass per area (LMA) and
total phosphorus content (TP) were the main predictors of phyllosphere
community. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms of
community assembly among different evergreen tree species and provide a
better understanding of the interactions between plant traits and
phyllosphere microorganisms during needle ageing.
ORBITAL HYDATID CYST IN A PAEDIATRIC PATIENT - A RARE CASE REPORT WITH REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Authors: N. Gowthami
Published: July 2023

Hydatid cysts are commonly confined to the liver, lungs and rarely in the central nervous system, whereas localisation of hydatid cysts in the orbit are quite rare, accounting for less than 0.8 to 1% of all the cases. It is one of the rarest causes of proptosis even in endemic areas caused by dog tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. Definitive treatment is surgical excision, however complete removal is many times difficult. Present study discusses a case of a 12-year-old child who presented with a progressive proptosis of the left eye and was diagnosed with orbital hydatid cyst on histopathological examination.
Novel Oxidative Coupling-Based Chromogenic Substrates for Horseradish Peroxidase-Enhanced Lateral Flow Immunoassays: A Highly Sensitive and Economical Alternative to Conventional Substrates
Authors: Saxena Karan , Toley Bhushan
Published: July 2023

Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have become indispensable in point-of-care diagnostics, but improving their sensitivity remains a critical challenge. Here, we present a strategy to enhance LFA sensitivity by introducing novel oxidative coupling-based chromogenic substrates for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enhancement. Motivated by the need for more sensitive and cost-effective LFAs, we developed substrates inspired by oxidative permanent hair dyes. These substrates consist of two components: a primary intermediate and a coupler that undergo an oxidative coupling reaction in the presence of HRP and H2O2 to generate an intensely coloured dye. Our LFAs employing these substrates outperform conventional substrates (3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)) and achieve an unprecedented sub-ng/mL limit of detection (LoD) for Human IgG. LFAs employing these novel substrates could detect Human IgG at 0.2 ng/mL, significantly surpassing reported sensitivities in the literature. Compared to gold nanoparticle based LFAs, our substrates exhibit over 30 times higher sensitivity. Moreover, these substrates offer substantial cost savings, making them a compelling choice for point-of-care diagnostics.

Published: July 2023

Electrolytes using fluorinated solvents have proven effective in improving the cycling life of Li-metal batteries, by forming a robust solid-electrolyte interphase through decomposition of anion and fluorinated solvent molecules. Herein, we modulated the fluorination degree of ether-based electrolyte solvents to investigate their performance in Li-metal batteries. We tuned the fluorination degree by installing a monofluorine substituent on one ethoxy group of 1,2-diethoxyethane (DEE) and varying the fluorination degree on the other one, providing three fluorinated DEE solvent molecules (i.e., F1F0, F1F1 and F1F2) with a relatively low fluorination degree. All the three electrolytes showed improved solvation strength and ionic conductivities compared with previous highly fluorinated DEE elec-trolytes, while retaining good oxidative stability. Full cell test using Li-metal anode and nickel-rich cathode revealed that a higher degree of fluorination is beneficial to the cycling performance, and the cycling stability follows F1F0 < F1F1 < F1F2. Specifically, F1F0 exhibited poor cycling stability due to its instability against both anode and cathode. While F1F1 and F1F2 both showed good stability against Li-metal anode, their relative long-term oxidative stability was responsive for the distinct performance, in which the cycle numbers at 80% capacity retention for F1F1 and F1F2 were ~20 and ~80, respectively. This work shows the importance to modulate the fluorination degree of elec-trolyte solvents, and this approach is suitable for various cathode materials.

Published: July 2023

1990’lı yıllarda yaşanan ekonomik buhran sonucunda şirketlerin küçülmeleri, yeniden yapılanmaları ve şirket birleşmeleri çalışanların işten çıkarılmalarına neden olmuştur. İşten çıkarmalar ile iş yerinde çalışmaya devam eden diğer personelin iş güvencesizliği algıları artmıştır. Algılanan iş güvencesizliği nedeni ile çalışanlar uzun saatlerini iş yerlerinde geçirmişler ve bu durum çalışanların iş ve yaşamlarında denge kurmalarına engel olmuştur. Bu bağlamda günümüzde de devam eden iş güvencesizliği algısı nedeni ile araştırmanın temel amacı; mavi ve beyaz yakalı çalışanların iş güvencesizliği algılarının iş yaşam dengelerini ne düzeyde etkilediğinin belirlenmesi ve iş güvencesizliği algısının iş yerinde görünürde var olma davranışı üzerindeki etkisinde iş yaşam dengesinin aracı rolünün olup olmadığının belirlenmesidir. Araştırma sonucunda çalışanların iş güvencesizliği algılarının iş yerinde görünürde var olma davranışları üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkisinin olduğu ve ayrıca iş güvencesizliğinin iş yerinde görünürde var olma davranışına etkisinde iş yaşam dengesinin kısmi aracılık rolü üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir.
Exploring the relationship between suicidality and persistent negative symptoms following a first episode of psychosis
Authors: Ghanem Joseph , Orri Massimiliano , Moro Laura , Lavigne Katie M. , Raucher-Chéné Delphine , Malla Ashok K. , Joober Ridha , Lepage Martin
Published: July 2023

Background and HypothesisSuicide is a leading cause of death in first-episode psychosis (FEP), with an elevated risk during the first year following illness onset. The association between negative symptoms and suicidality remains contentious. Some studies suggest that negative symptoms may be associated with lower suicidality, while others fail to find an association between the two. No previous studies have specifically investigated suicidality in Persistent Negative Symptoms (PNS) and its associated subgroups.Study DesignIn a large cohort of FEP patients (n=515) from an early intervention service, we investigated suicidality in those with PNS, secondary PNS (i.e., sPNS; PNS with clinical-level positive, depressive, or extrapyramidal symptoms), and non-PNS (all other patients). Patients were categorized into groups based on symptoms from month 6 to month 12, and suicidality was evaluated using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS).Study ResultsCovarying for age and sex, we found that sPNS had higher suicidality relative to PNS and non-PNS, but PNS and non-PNS did not differ. These group differences were maintained after adjusting for depressive symptoms. ConclusionWe observed that PNS did not significantly differ from non-PNS. However, we identified sPNS as a group with elevated suicidality above and beyond depression, suggesting that sPNS would benefit from targeted intervention and that PNS categorization identifies a subgroup for whom negative symptoms are not associated with lower suicidality.

Authors: Burinskiene Aurelia , Burinskas Arunas
Published: July 2023

The authors have investigated sustainable environment delivery systems and identified transportation lead-time investigation cases. This research study aimed to increase freight delivery lead-time and minimize distance in transportation. To reach the goal, the paper's authors, after analysis of the hierarchy of quantitative methods and models, proposed the framework for modeling freight allocation and transportation lead-time and delivered a study that includes discrete event simulation. During the simulation, various scenarios have been revised. Following the simulation mentioned above analysis, around 3.8 % of distance could be saved during freight delivery if lead-time for transportation were revised by choosing five days criteria for modeling freight allocation. The savings depend on the number of received orders from different geographic locations.

O fator LS (EUPS) aplicado ao ordenamento do território para delimitação da Reserva Ecológica Nacional (REN)
Authors: Silva António Alves da , Costa Fernando Lagos
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho resulta da investigação desenvolvida na Direcção-Geral do Território visando a delimitação da Reserva Ecológica Nacional (REN) a nível municipal, com base nas Áreas de Elevado Risco de Erosão Hídrica do Solo (AEREHS), definidas pela Equação Universal de Perda de Solo (EUPS) Revista (RUSLE), de acordo com a legislação. Teve como objetivo melhorar a representação cartográfica do fator topográfico LS, nomeadamente, o seu rigor posicional e quantitativo e ajustar a sua harmonização e compatibilização com os outros fatores da EUPS. Neste contexto, compararam-se os resultados da aplicação de métodos e variantes de cálculo do LS para avaliação da perda de solo potencial em contextos geomorfológicos de relevo variável para optar por uma solução genérica mais adequada. Em face dos resultados obtidos, selecionou-se a versão 2 da RUSLE (RUSLE2), limitando o comprimento do escoamento não organizado a 305 m (máximo previsto pelos autores da EUPS), para o cálculo do LS e delimitação das AEREHS no âmbito da REN. Considerou-se esta formulação a mais adequada para regiões em que a erosão hídrica se concentra no inverno e para discriminar áreas de escoamento em toalha das de sulcagem, consoante o declive. Conclui-se, no entanto, a necessidade de diferenciar contextos geomorfológicos em cada município, pois o método usado e sobretudo a cartografia de base afetam os resultados, com impactos substanciais na demarcação da REN.

A Ciência do Museu Magüta: espaço não formal de ensino e aprendizagem em ciências
Authors: Coelho Rayciane Campos , Lemos Radamés Gonçalves de
Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa tematiza e reflete sobre a ciência presente no Museu Magüta, localizado no município de Benjamin Constant-AM, que guarda e preserva seus saberes, tradições, artes e culturas. A educação existe onde não há a escola e por toda parte podem haver redes e estruturas sociais de transferência de saber, sendo o Museu esse espaço não formal de ensino e aprendizagem em ciências, que provoca o pensar da constituição dos saberes e educação a partir dos conhecimentos culturais, sociais e identitários dos indígenas. Por isso, buscamos compreender como o ensino de ciências em espaços não formais em contexto amazônico contribui no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. É uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, que fez uso de entrevistas e questionários aplicados aos sujeitos responsáveis e visitantes do museu, bem como visitas no campo de pesquisa, afim de identificar a ciência nos elementos artesanais e repensar o ensino de ciências. Percebeu-se que o Museu Magüta enquanto um espaço não formal de educação apresentam muitas história e memorias coletivas elementos culturais artísticos e identitários do povo Ticüna. Portanto, o trabalho resgata a importância da prática e do diálogo entre saberes culturais e tradicionais, uma vez que esse dialogo pode trazer temáticas com grande potencial de problematização e contextualização para o ensino de Ciências, contribuindo para construir uma proposta metodológica em práticas de ensino.
Rethinking University Pedagogy
Authors: Ramsaroop Sarita
Published: July 2023

As a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, and the subsequent move to online teaching and learning for contact institutions of higher learning, pedagogies that were on the periphery have now taken a central position. Such a transition has brought a paradigm shift on how universities will function in a VUCA world. There is a need to rethink how the curriculum prepares graduates to be relevant for the 21st century workplace. In this study, the author sets out to explore the challenges and opportunities of rethinking university pedagogy for curriculum transformation post COVID-19. The findings of this study confirm that the transition to online, despite the difficulties of implementation, awakened in students some of the 21st century skills related to living in the world, tools for working and ways of thinking. Noteworthy is that students value their learnings from both the physical and virtual social learning spaces. It is, therefore, necessary to rethink curriculum design and pedagogical practices to ensure that a binary between online and traditional contact classes does not occur.
Emotional and cognitive states of geriatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic – an observational study
Authors: Sadura-Sieklucka Teresa , Szczuka Joanna , Targowski Tomasz
Published: July 2023

Introduction

The authors of the study assessed the emotional and cognitive state of geriatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and tried to answer the question: were there any differences in this state in geriatric patients at different stages of the pandemic?

Material and methods

The study included 518 patients of 60 years old and above of the Department of Geriatrics in Warsaw. To collect data, the following tools of psychological measurement were applied: the Mini-Mental State Examination scale and Geriatric Depression Scale. In order to test the differences in the means between the groups, a Chi-square test (with Yates’s correction for continuity when the class size did not exceed 8 items) was used. For the comparison of the three groups, the Kruskal-Wallis (ANOVA) test was performed.

Results

It was found that the majority of geriatric patients (73% of respondents) do not show symptoms of depressed mood. But there are statistically significant differences in the results of the patients’ cognitive state tests depending on the time of examination. Patients examined before the pandemic tended to demonstrate a better cognitive state than patients at the beginning of the pandemic and in its later stages. Nevertheless, there are no significant differences in the cognitive functioning of patients examined at the beginning and later in the pandemic.

Conclusions

The number of geriatric patients with symptoms of depression significantly increased when visits of relatives prohibition were introduced. However, the number of patients with depression returned to its previous level later in the pandemic.
This phenomenon may indicate psychological adaptation to the situation. The presented results of observation suggest that the introduction of limitations is less important than the particular perception of one’s situation and adaptation to that.
