User Loyalty Unbroken? Inflation of Trust in Digital Platforms
Authors: König René , Sumpf Patrick
Published: August 2021

Societal challenges regarding digital platforms—from privacy concerns to fake news or hate speech—are often framed around a deficit model of trust: they result in an erosion of user trust, and a need for its restoration is identified. Our contribution challenges this deficit model by examining the function of trust in digital platforms as sociotechnical systems. Platforms provide the infrastructure for a smooth transmission of data between various actors (e.g., users, developers, advertisers). This has inclusive as well as limiting effects: it provides broad accessibility by hiding complexity behind simple interfaces. Despite this detachment from the complex back end, risks and uncertainties are largely transferred to the users, who are expected to make informed decisions when they agree to platforms’ terms and conditions. To be able to utilize platforms in everyday practices, users need to bridge uncertainties through trust. Trust fills the gap of lack of knowledge.

Our contribution sheds light on trust dynamics by combining trust theory with empirical insights. We distinguish trust from distrust and familiarity and specify at whom and at what trust is directed. Distrust of platforms has not led to significant transformations in the market, which remains dominated by the same players. The platforms’ ecosystems heavily rely on trust in and by the users—for example, through the principle of informed consent. We identify an inflation of trust in the realm of digital platforms because trust is inherently risky due to its function of replacing knowledge. In contrast to the deficit model, we emphasize trust’s problem component and frame our suggestions to meet the connected challenges accordingly.
Platelet Function Testing and Genotyping for Tailoring Treatment in Complex PCI Patients
Authors: Moulias Athanasios , Papageorgiou Angeliki , Alexopoulos Dimitrios
Published: August 2021

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), comprising aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, is considered the cornerstone of treatment in patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with complex PCI (C-PCI) constitute a special PCI subpopulation, characterized by increased ischemic risk. Identifying the optimal DAPT strategy is often challenging and remains controversial in this setting. In an attempt to balance ischemic and bleeding risks in C-PCI patients receiving DAPT, treatment individualization regarding potency and duration has evolved as a feasible approach. Platelet function testing and genotyping have been evaluated in several trials with conflicting and mostly neutral results. The aim of this review is to critically appreciate the role of these tools for antiplatelet treatment tailoring specifically in C-PCI patients. Because existing evidence is limited, dedicated future studies are warranted to elucidate the utility of platelet function testing and genotyping in C-PCI.

Published: August 2021

Мета роботи – науково обґрунтувати фактори впливу на якість управління дебіторською заборгованістю.

Дизайн/Метод/Підхід дослідження. Застосовано системний підхід та методи синтезу, семантичного аналізу, історичного аналізу,  аналогій,  узагальнення, пояснення, класифікації та графічній.

Результати дослідження. Управління боргами покупців, які для підприємства продавця є дебіторською заборгованістю, – це один зі складників сучасних відносин між підприємствами. Обмеженість ресурсів вимушує управлінців добирати інструменти і джерела фінансування продажу з відстроченням платежу, а також аналізувати фактори, які впливають на якісні характеристики управління таким відстроченням. Наведено та проаналізовано підсистему управління дебіторською заборгованістю, у якій виділено значущі для ефективного управління в системі менеджменту підприємств фактори (елементи), що зазвичай аналізують та корегують під час управління рівнем дебіторської заборгованості. Доведено, що ця підсистема потребує уточнення з урахуванням факторів макросередовища. Наголошено, що фактори впливу доречно виокремити для підприємств оптової торгівлі, оскільки у ланцюгу оптових продажів порівняно з роздрібною торгівлею націнка вартості товару зменшена та необхідно фінансово забезпечити реалізацію товарів із відстроченням платежу. Управління дебіторською заборгованістю вважається якісним та ефективним, коли внаслідок такого управління підприємства стають фінансово стійкими. Удосконалено систему факторів, де головна роль належить економічним факторам, запропоновано підхід до їх кількісної оцінки.

Теоретичне значення дослідження. Запропоновано теоретичну дворівневу математичну модель кількісної оцінки факторів впливу на якість управління дебіторською заборгованістю підприємств.

Практичне значення дослідження. Результати дослідження можуть бути використані в управлінні дебіторською заборгованістю підприємств, формуванні інструментів оцінювання якості дебіторської заборгованості та виділенні основних факторів впливу на якість дебіторської заборгованості.

Оригінальність / цінність / наукова новизна дослідження. Узагальнено, структуровано та досліджено зміст окремих факторів впливу на якість управління дебіторською заборгованістю.

Перспективи подальших досліджень – розробка комплексного прикладного механізму управління дебіторською заборгованістю з урахуванням факторів впливу на її якість та галузевих особливостей підприємств.

Authors: Camacho-Lobo Albán
Published: August 2021

En el campo de la comunicación visual, se ejerce una forma de poder particular, que se ha conceptualizado como el plast poder: el ejercicio de poder estructural focalizado sobre los contenidos visuales, el cual tiende a normar los accesos a los capitales que desprende el campo. El plast poder actúa sobre los contenidos visuales; en particular sobre los elaborados por comunicadoras, por lo que se ofrece una guía que remite a las comunicadoras visuales sobre cuyos contenidos se ejerce con mayor fuerza este tipo de poder, en la Costa Rica actual.
Historias cruzadas en noches oscuras: acercamiento crítico a la película cubana Chamaco (2010) de Juan Carlos Cremata
Authors: De León Castillo Dayron , Gell Fernández-Cueto Leonardo
Published: August 2021

Este artículo se propone realizar un análisis crítico acerca de la película cubana Chamaco (2010) del director Juan Carlos Cremata (n. 1961), basada en la obra teatral homónima de Abel González Melo (n. 1980). Las preguntas que lo originan pretenden evidenciar los temas sociales que Chamaco introduce a la cinematografía cubana –con énfasis en lo concerniente a la construcción de la sexualidad masculina–, cómo maneja su director los códigos cinematográficos a partir de un texto teatral, qué realidades del entramado social aborda y desde qué perspectiva lo hace. Para ello, los autores se apoyan en publicaciones referentes a ambas obras dramáticas, a aspectos históricos de la industria cubana del cine, el cine queer, así como aspectos sobre la construcción de sentidos desde la imagen.
Híbridas y Quimeras: ruido y sororidad colectiva en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Mora Flores Ana Alfonsina
Published: August 2021

El paisaje sonoro de la Ciudad de México es tan rico y ecléctico que produce una cacofonía percibida como ruido por quienes la habitan y transitan. En las últimas décadas, el ruido ha sido asociado a prácticas artivistas subversivas, contrahegemónicas y de libre expresión. Este trabajo trata de dar cuenta de los avances, observaciones y reflexiones de la investigación en curso desde una mirada interdisciplinaria y con perspectiva de género tomando como caso de estudio las prácticas de creación, producción y difusión de la colectiva feminista Híbridas y Quimeras. El ruido acciona esta colectiva conformada por mujeres y disidencias, el cual crea espacios sonoro-sororos como una forma de enunciación en contra de las dinámicas patriarcales que aún se reproducen en espacios de la escena musical experimental mexicana. De esta manera, el ruido no solo es el medio, sino también el mensaje a escuchar.
La normalización de los delitos sexuales en Costa Rica: una cuantificación
Authors: Blanco Laura Cristina , Rojas Peralta Sergio E.
Published: August 2021

A partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva (2010 y 2015), se estima que más de una quinta parte de la población mayor de 15 años reporta experiencias que las colocaría en la posición de víctima de relaciones sexuales no consentidas, según los criterios establecidos por la Ley 9406. No obstante, únicamente 10% de estas personas reporta haber sido víctima de delitos sexuales. Esta ausencia de percepción de algún delito pone en evidencia patrones culturales más permisivos, en cuanto al consentimiento sexual. Este tema es discutido a través de un análisis de la normativa a lo largo de la historia. Posteriormente, se utiliza el modelo de capital humano para estimar regresiones logit sobre la probabilidad de ser víctima de este tipo de delitos sexuales. Se encuentra que una mejor educación y una comunicación satisfactoria con progenitores y educadores reducen la probabilidad de ser víctima de dichos delitos.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to establish live weight, Body condition score (BCS), body dimensions and phenotypic correlations between them in young female breeding animals of Bulgarian dairy synthetic population (BDSP). The object of research were 137 ewe lambs of the flock, bred at the Agricultural Institute in Stara Zagora for a period of 3 years. Live weight of animals and body dimensions were performed at 6, 9 and 18 months of age and Body condition score was assessed. In addition, the phenotypic dependences between indicators were calculated. The data were processed with Statistica software product. Based on the obtained results, it could be summarized that the live weight and bone system of the animals increased more intensively in the period from 6 to 9 months of age, which was accompanied by an increase in BCS. During the next period (after 9 months of age) there was a certain slowdown in the growth rate and a decrease in BCS, but an increase in live weight. The values of the two indicators at the age of 18 months however showed that the physiological condition of the animals was suitable for their inclusion in the breeding process. The highest values of phenotypic correlations were found between live weight, BCS and body dimensions at 6 months of age. At the next two ages (9 and 18 months), these dependencies declined. Live weight, body length, chest depth and croup width maintained a high level of correlation with the body volume. The highest phenotypic correlations between BCS and other indicators were established in animals at 6 months and the lowest ones at 9 months of age

Authors: Hristova R. , Oscar A. , Kostova S. , Petkova I. , Zdravkov Y.
Published: August 2021

Purpose: This study assessed the correlation between corneal sensitivity and subjective symptoms in patients with chronic corneal ulcers before and after treatment. Methods: Corneal sensitivity was measured with Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometry in twenty patients with mean age of53 years SD±20.65. Impression cytology was used to assess conjunctivalization, inflammation and keratinization. The epithelial integrity and stromal reaction were determined by anterior segment OCT. Treatment included either conservative measures or surgical ocular surface reconstruction. A questionnaire on subjective symptoms was implemented in order to obtain comparable data about their severity and effect on everyday life. Results: Mean corneal aesthesiometry was 143.03±81.68 mm/grms before treatment and 72.48±72.80 mm/grms on follow-up (p=0.001). An inverse correlation between age and corneal sensitivity was observed before treatment (p=0.002), but not after (p=0.102). Anterior segment OCT on follow-up demonstrated epithelialized corneal surface, reduced stromal reaction and scar tissue preventing further melting. All tested subjective symptoms demonstrated significant change after treatment except driving. Spearman’s analysis demonstrated a correlation between corneal sensitivity and pain (p=0.033), hyperemia (p=0.009) and driving (p=0.043). The change in corneal sensitivity correlated with tearing reduction (p=0.046) and prolonged tolerance to phone use (p=0.044). Conclusions: Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometry is a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating corneal nerve function and monitoring the effect of treatment.

The object of research is the military radio communication system. One of the problems in improving the effectiveness of military radio communication systems is the correct description of the movement process in them. Efficient routing protocols are only possible if reliable information on network topology for network nodes is available. Thus, with this information, packets can be forwarded correctly between the sender and the recipient. Given that the mobility of individual nodes is insignificant in special wireless networks, nodes in the network show the mobility properties of a group of nodes. This observation is directly related to the very existence of military wireless networks with the ability to organize themselves, that is, to support group cooperation and group activities. In this work the problem of analysis (decomposition) of the mobility models of military radio communication networks with the possibility of self-organization is solved. The classification of mobility patterns, the description of individual mobility models and the analysis of various aspects currently available, as well as those properties lacking in the attempt to simulate the movement of individual nodes, have been carried out. During the research, the analysis of random, semi-deterministic and deterministic models was carried out. The advantages and disadvantages of the above models have been identified.
In the course of the research, the authors of the work used the main principles of the theory of mass service, the theory of automation, the theory of complex technical systems, as well as general scientific methods of knowledge, namely analysis and synthesis.
The research results will be useful in:
‒ synthesis of mathematical models of node mobility;
‒ evaluation of the effectiveness of the science-based tool for assessing the mobility of nodes;
‒ validation of recommendations to improve the efficiency of mobile radio networks;
‒ analysis of the radio-electronic situation during the conduct of military operations (operations);
‒ creating advanced technologies to improve the efficiency of mobile radio networks.

State of problem. Today a significant part of passive microwave electronic devices is implemented in the form of single-layer structures. In some cases, such approach leads to an increase in the overall dimension’s characteristics of electronic equipment. Moreover, the application of single-layer microwave boards leads to the complexity of replacing individual functional units. Therefore, the replacement of the entire microwave board is required to improve any of its functional part. It is nonprofit economically and inefficient technologically. Significant progress in eliminating the above-mentioned disadvantages may be achieved by the application of volume-modular technology of design microwave electronic devices. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to present a brief overview of the features of the application of volume-modular technology in the design of microwave electronic devices of modern radio-electronic equipment. The volume-modular way of implementing microwave devices is described. It allows improving their weight and overall dimension characteristics and at the same time maintaining and increasing their functionality. The basic principles of design of volume modular microwave electronic devices are formulated. The results of numerical simulation of the electrodynamics characteristics of a strip-slot transition are presented. The method for quantitative assessment of the influence of volume-modular technology on the weight and dimensions characteristics of microwave electronic devices is considered. The main advantages and disadvantages of volume-modular technology are listed. Results. We demonstrate a possibility of reducing the overall dimensions characteristics of passive microwave electronic devices by more than 10 times while maintaining their electrical parameters. Each component is presented in the form of a structurally separate and complete board with unified overall and connecting dimensions. The standard electromagnetic coupling between functional parts makes it possible to assemble microwave electronic devices with specified electrodynamics characteristics from the base elements.

Published: August 2021

Este estudo propõe uma reconstrução da partícula reflexiva (REFLEX) no protocrioulo do Golfo da Guiné (PGG), com base em dados de suas quatro línguas-filhas, o santome (ST), o angolar (AN), o lung’Ie (LI) e o fa d’Ambô (FA). Assim, foram comparados os mecanismos reflexivos das línguas-filhas, identificados os traços convergentes e divergentes e, em seguida, realizada a reconstrução de REFLEX do PGG, fundamentada na aplicação do método comparativo da linguística histórica. A reconstrução *ôg͡bê > ubwê (ST), ig͡bê (LI), ôngê (AN) e ôgê (FA) mostrou-se relevante na medida em que se comprova a descendência direta das quatro línguas-filhas. Ademais, a reconstrução de partículas gramaticais como REFLEX corrobora o fato de que os traços oriundos das línguas do Delta do Níger não se circunscrevem à fonologia, mas estão presentes em diferentes camadas da protolíngua. Dessa forma, a partir dos dados da reconstrução gramatical, a protoforma *ôg͡bê pode se referir à particula reflexiva, bem como ao item lexical ‘corpo’.
Evaluation of rheological properties of mortar with TiO2 addition

Published: August 2021

Abstract Adding TiO2 tocoating mortars is carried out to promote self-cleaning through photocatalytic activity. However, this addition influences the workability of the mortar and, consequently, the application stage as the TiO2 used can present a large number of fine particles and a high surface area, increasing the demand for mixing water, requiring consistency adjustments before coating. In this work, three mortars (two with the addition of different types of TiO2 and one reference) were developed on a laboratory scale to maintain similar workability, using the flow table test. The amount of kneading water was changed to maintain a spread of 220 ± 10 mm and the content of air-entrained was kept constant, around 25%. The mortars were evaluated using the squeeze flow method. Then, a blind test was performed to assess the mason sensitivity during handling and application of the coating, and all mortars were considered similar. However, the yield of the compositions with TiO2 addition was lower compared to the reference composition, making it possible to explain the results based on the physical parameters of the formulations and with a more in-depth analysis of the rheological indices obtained by the squeeze flow test.

Authors: Bauer Elton , Souza Jéssica Siqueira , Mota Larissa Mara Gonçalves
Published: August 2021

Resumo A incidência de agentes de degradação sobre os edifícios é responsável pela origem de mecanismos de degradação que levam ao desenvolvimento de anomalias, as quais reduzem o desempenho dos sistemas do edifício. Nesse contexto, investigar a relação entre anomalias, agentes e mecanismos é fundamental para fornecer subsídios para estudos de vida útil e desenvolvimento de materiais e elementos mais duráveis. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a gravidade e a extensão da degradação de fachadas revestidas em argamassa, identificando padrões que possam condicionar a degradação desse elemento. Essa abordagem se baseia na inspeção de edifícios em uso, e para isso se emprega o Método de Mensuração da Degradação. A metodologia é aplicada ao estudo de 90 amostras de fachada em edifícios de idade entre 20 e 60 anos localizadas localizados em Brasília, Brasil. As análises são baseadas em indicadores de degradação, quantificados a partir das variáveis investigadas, em específico a orientação solar e as zonas da fachada. Os resultados permitem a identificação de padrões típicos de degradação. A fissura é a anomalia que mais degrada as fachadas. Topo é a zona da fachada onde ocorre maior gravidade de degradação. Já a maior incidência de degradação ocorre na zona de paredes contínuas. Tem-se que as orientações norte e sul são as mais degradadas.

Screening for Barrett’s Esophagus in Patients with Cirrhosis Using WATS3D
Authors: Hussein Agha Yasmine , Taleb Ali , Srinivasan Sachin , Tofteland Nathan , Salyers William
Published: August 2021

The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease and neoplastic progression in patients with cirrhosis is higher compared to patients without liver disease. The gold standard for screening for Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is esophagogastroduodenoscopy with forceps biopsy using the Seattle protocol. However, many physicians refrain from taking biopsies in cirrhotic patients and rely solely on endoscopic findings to avoid hemorrhagic complications secondary to variceal bleeding or coagulopathy. In this case series, we present seven cirrhotic patients at high risk of bleeding that underwent screening for BE by upper endoscopy using WATS3D with no postprocedural complications.

Published: August 2021

Introduction. Neuropsychologists play an important role on multidisciplinary teams with physicians from multiple specialties. The extent of residency training on the use of neuropsychological services is unclear. We surveyed medical residents across multiple specialties throughout the United States to assess resident education, training, and understanding of neuropsychological services, along with their likelihood to consult neuropsychologists in the future.
Methods. A survey was sent to residents in accredited psychiatry, neurology, family medicine, and internal medicine programs. After data were collected, chi-square group level analyses with post-hoc pairwise comparisons were used to analyze the data.
Results. 434 residents took the survey. The proportion of residents exposed to neuropsychology during residency varied significantly according to specialty χ2 (3, N=419) = 51.4, p < .001, with more psychiatry and neurology residents reporting exposure than residents in family medicine or internal medicine. Similarly, the proportion of psychiatry and neurology residents who ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ that they understand the nature of neuropsychological services differed significantly from family medicine and internal medicine residents χ2 (3, N=415) = 40.4, p < .001. The majority of residents across all specialties (85.7%) reported they are likely to consult/order neuropsychological services in future practice.
Conclusions. The majority of residents in all specialties reported exposure to neuropsychological services in some manner, but forms of exposure varied. Results indicate a need for increased education and training in neuropsychological services, especially within family medicine and internal medicine programs. The majority of residents agreed that they would utilize neuropsychology services in future practice.
A Case of Autoimmune Myocarditis Treated with IL-17 Inhibition
Authors: Jibbe Atieh , Brett  , Rajpara Anand , Whitsitt Jacob , Hamblin Mark
Published: August 2021

Myocarditis is defined as inflammation targeting the heart muscle. Autoimmune myocarditis is a subtype of myocarditis that can occur as an isolated entity in which the primary targeted organ is the heart or as part of a systemic autoimmune disease. The pathogenesis of autoimmune myocarditis has been studied using experimental autoimmune myocarditis mouse models. These studies have established the role of TH17 and IL-17 in the development and progression of myocarditis. While IL-17 inhibition has been tested in these mouse models, there are no reported cases of IL-17 inhibitors being utilized in humans to treat autoimmune myocarditis. We report a patient diagnosed with autoimmune myocarditis in the setting of psoriasis treated initially with prednisone and methotrexate without improvement. The patient was then started on an IL-17 inhibitor secukinumab, directly targeting the immune mechanisms found to be responsible for autoimmune myocarditis and its progression as evidenced by the experimental autoimmune myocarditis mouse models. We provide nuclear scan imaging pre- and post-treatment with secukinumab documenting resolution of our patient’s autoimmune myocarditis. This novel case highlighting the success of IL17 inhibition in treating autoimmune myocarditis, a disease with no truly effective treatment and with potentially devastating consequences, provides an exciting avenue for future research in larger patient populations to further assess the efficacy of this treatment modality.

Published: August 2021

INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca necessitam de ventilação mecânica invasiva após o procedimento cirúrgico. A extubação no pós-operatório quando bem-sucedida, está relacionada com menor tempo de internação, redução de custos e recursos utilizados e diminuição das taxas de morbimortalidade. OBJETIVO: Identificar o perfil e o número de reintubações de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias cardíacas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo quantitativo, transversal retrospectivo, com coleta de dados secundários obtidos de prontuários eletrônicos em um Hospital Municipal da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS. Foram incluídos 57 prontuários de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca entre janeiro e dezembro de 2017 e excluídos aqueles com idade menor que 18 anos e/ou extubados previamente no bloco cirúrgico. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 22 mulheres (38,6%) e 35 homens (61,4%), com média de idade 61,60±12,33 anos. Foram realizadas 37 cirurgias de revascularização do miocárdio (64,9%), sendo sete destas associadas a troca valvar. Em relação ao desmame, 96,5% dos pacientes obtiveram sucesso na extubação, 77,2% ficaram um período menor que 24 horas em ventilação mecânica invasiva e 15,8% foram reintubados. A média de tempo de internação hospitalar foi de 22,77±17 dias e na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva de 8,53 dias, sendo que 80,7% dos pacientes tiveram alta desta unidade. CONCLUSÃO: A caracterização clínica, sociodemográfica e cirúrgica dos pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca se assemelha aos achados na literatura, uma prevalência de pacientes idosos e do sexo masculino e baixa taxa de reintubação.
Transcranial direct current stimulation to enhance mathematical performance in school going developmental dyscalculic children: A single group pretest-posttest, quasi experimental study
Authors: Srivastav Adarsh Kumar , Chatterjee Subhasish
Published: August 2021

INTRODUCTION: Developmental dyscalculia (DD) deals with impaired mathematical performance and affects the educational and day-to-day activities of children. There is evidence that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the posterior parietal cortex facilitates the hypoactive neuronal structure and improves mathematical performance in individuals with DD.  OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate whether tDCS adjuvant with conventional numeracy training (CNT) would enhance the mathematical abilities of school-going children affected with DD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen school-going children affected with DD received tDCS and CNT three sessions per week for up to 2 consecutive weeks. Left anodal and right cathodal stimulation at P3/P4 region with 2mA intensity combined with CNT for 30 minutes in a day was given. Learning disability diagnostic inventory (LDDI) was used as an outcome measure and collected at baseline and the end of the 2-week intervention.  RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in the mathematical performance of school-going children. The results show statistically as well as a clinically significant improvement after the 2 weeks of intervention.  CONCLUSIONS: tDCS combined with CNT is effective for improving the mathematical abilities of school-going children affected with DD. The findings of this study provide a new perspective for the rehabilitation of school-going DD children.

This protocol describes an information processing and curation workflow to document and archive mineral development project disclosure reports (NI 43-101 Technical Reports) in an experimental online archive being developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The GeoArchive contains various reports and other digital documents cited in USGS research and assessments that do not have some other permanent, accessible online repository. It serves as a permanent reference point for these materials that can be linked to from USGS products. This protocol, which is a fork from an original protocol developed for a different technical platform (USGS ScienceBase), links to another protocol showing how to obtain the National Instrument (NI 43-101) Technical Reports from an online portal, identify specific metadata within the documents, and deposit the PDF files and metadata into a shared library within the Zotero system.
Do particular ao universal: a força do performativo na subversão do sujeito: a força do performativo na subversão do sujeito
Authors: Moreira Marcos Cristina , Ferreira Sales Camila
Published: August 2021

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de doutorado em andamento e tem apoio da Capes. Trata-se de uma investigação sobre o conceito de ato analítico, tal como Lacan começa a formular no final da década de 60, e sua relação possível com o conceito de ato performativo, conforme teorizado por Judith Butler. Apresenta-se aqui a fase inicial da pesquisa, em que se intenciona mostrar a performatividade como ato inaugural do sujeito. Assim, tanto para a psicanálise quanto para as teorias de gênero, o ato performativo se instaura entre as categorias do universal e singular e opera com a subversão do paradigma da identidade.
O anormal e o patológico de Foucault a Freud: o discurso jurídico-psiquiátrico e a psicanálise
Authors: Gil Alcon Cabral André Fernando
Published: August 2021

Na década de 70, Foucault empregou severas críticas à psicanálise. Para o autor, ela se constituiu como um saber normativo capaz de responder à demanda médico-jurídica. Desse modo, o saber sobre as pulsões sexuais foi fundamental para construir a psicopatologia moderna. Daí as figuras da criança masturbadora e da criança perverso polimorfa surgirem como genealogia do monstro sexual ou anormal. Foucault então interpreta que a psicanálise surge na medida em que diagnostica o sujeito segundo os diferentes destinos frente ao complexo de Édipo. Neste trabalho, verificaremos como a psicanálise freudiana se habilita a responder às críticas de Foucault. A nosso ver, o conceito de pulsão de morte será fundamental para essa empreitada.
Repensar al duelo: de lo singular a lo cultural
Authors: Grigoravicius Marcelo Juan , Toso Agustina
Published: August 2021

Se presentan los avances de un proyecto de investigación que indaga el fenómeno del duelo en la “hipermodernidad”. Se revisan conceptos relacionados con la teoría del duelo en la obra de Freud. Se indaga sobre el papel del examen de realidad en los inicios del duelo y su relación con la desmentida (Verleugnung). Se analiza el estatuto del objeto perdido, y por tanto se reconsidera la noción freudiana de amor. Asimismo, se indaga sobre el concepto de “trabajo de duelo” y la sustitución del objeto como resultado. Se observa una articulación entre el funcionamiento intrapsíquico y las significaciones culturales de nuestra época, ya no signada por la represión, sino por la desmentida del dolor y las pérdidas.

El rol de las tareas realistas en la interpretación del residuo de la división aritmética
Authors: Zapata-Cardona Lucía
Published: August 2021

Este artículo reporta una experiencia en la que se estudió el aporte de las tareas realistas inspiradas en la Educación Matemática Realista a la comprensión del residuo en la división aritmética en población infantil. Las participantes fueron tres estudiantes de la escuela primaria (6 a 10 años de edad) quienes resolvieron una tarea de división con residuo en un contexto realista. Las participantes fueron entrevistadas en un espacio por fuera del ambiente escolar y se les aportó manipulativos como apoyo a la solución y como herramienta para hacer visible las estrategias usadas en el modelado. Los principales hallazgos revelan que las tareas matemáticas realistas tienen el potencial para promover la exploración, construcción e implementación de algoritmos espontáneos en los estudiantes, parecen solucionar el problema de la interpretación del residuo en la división aritmética y promueven el modelado y la matematización dando acceso a una matemática mucho más formal.
Spinning at the Border: Employee Activism in ‘Big PR’
Authors: Reyes Camille
Published: August 2021

This article extends Coombs and Holladay’s (2018) social issues management model to provide new perspectives on activism and public relations. It also fills a gap in the literature on internal activism by analyzing the case of The Ogilvy Group and their employees, many of whom pushed for the agency to resign its work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Through a textual analysis of a leaked transcript documenting a meeting between Ogilvy management and internal activist employees, the communicative tasks of definition, legitimation, and awareness (Coombs & Holladay, 2018) are explored in a way that complicates identity and power. As public relations practitioners are increasingly called upon to either advocate for or against social issues, this study provides an interesting contrast, showing one interpretation of what happens when there is dissension in the ranks.

Background: Early closure of a temporary stoma is usually associated with low morbidity and mortality. However, some cases of stoma reversal may develop complications which may need surgical correction with subsequent major complications. We aim to evaluate early bowel stoma closure; de-functioning diversion stoma closure within the same admission (8-15 days) and study morbidity, health related quality of life (QOL) and length of stay at hospital (LOH).                                                                                                          Methods: This study was done at general surgery department, Sohag faculty of medicine; in the period between March 2020 and March2021, 28 patients were closed early (at the same admission). Which are chosen randomly. The 28 patients who underwent early temporary stoma reversal following bowel surgery and abdominal exploration between March 2020 and March 2021 were included. The rate of complications (medical and surgical) following early stoma closure were assessed. Health-related QoL and LoH were assessed.Results: Total 28 patients were taken up for early stoma closure, reversal of stoma occurred between 8-15 days following its creation. Postoperative complications occurred in 53% of our patients, skin excoriation the commonest (28%). No difficulty was encountered during stoma closure surgery. Post-operative complications occurred in 53% of patients. 5 patients develop Ileus which were managed conservatively and one patient (3.5%) develop intra-abdominal abscess and treated with aspiration under sonographic guided. In our study no mortality occurred.Conclusions: Early stoma closure is feasible in selected patients, with reduced hospital stay, adhesions, bowel obstruction and medical complications and leads to better QOL, but a higher wound complication rate.

Background: Different treatment methods were tried with variable success rates but Ponseti method of serial casting and manipulation stood apart due to better understanding of foot biomechanics and became accepted choice of treatment worldwide.

Methods: 50 patients were enrolled in the study out of which 40 were available for final follow-up. We studied 40 cases during October 2018 to December 2020 at Government Medical College, Aurangabad. Out of 40 cases 31 were male and 9 were female. 25 were unilateral and 15 were bilateral. All cases were idiopathic. 4 inches Plaster of Paris (POP) bandages were cut into half and such 2 inches POP bandages were used for casting. Tenotomies were performed under controlled environment of Operation Theater with general anaesthesia. Number 12 surgical blade was used. Dennis-Browne splint was used for maintenance of correction.

Results: Out of total 55 feet studied, 10 feet (18.18%) required tendo Achilles tenotomy and 45 feet (81.82%) were treated with casting alone. There were 8 cases of relapses (20%). All relapsed cases were treated with repeat casting as per Ponseti protocol and none of them required repeat tenotomy. Complications related to plaster were minimal and there were no incidence of rocker bottom deformity.

Conclusions: We conclude that in a low income developing country like India where case load is very high; Ponseti method is effective, inexpensive form of treatment with minimal complications. Need for extensive soft tissue procedures vastly reduced with this method.
