Published: February 2025

El trabajo aborda la escritura académica como requisito para la graduación de los alumnos de la Licenciatura de Psicología en la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, en el marco del Taller de Producción Textual. Esta condición de egreso surge a partir de la reforma del Plan de Estudios de 2012, que implicó, entre otras modificaciones, la inclusión del trabajo final integrador y  las Prácticas Profesionales Supervisadas. Para ello, en dicho taller se crean las condiciones para que los alumnos puedan producir un trabajo que los habilite a plasmar elecciones, intereses y miradas en relación con sus recorridos académicos. Ello posibilita interpelar el modo de producir un texto académico propiciando que este trabajo integrador sea una oportunidad para apropiarse de preguntas y articulaciones teórico-prácticas. La propuesta de enseñanza implica crear las condiciones para ello. A partir de la experiencia docente desarrollada en esa asignatura, sistematizamos algunos ejes que consideramos esenciales en la propuesta metodológica, destinada a lograr condiciones de confianza, diálogo, aprendizaje y construcción colectiva que posibiliten producciones de alumnos con un rol activo y crítico. Asimismo, pretendemos contribuir a la formación de profesionales comprometidos con su transitar, en un momento histórico-político que nos interpela y convoca a construir con otros.

Published: February 2025

The OBJECTIVE was to compare the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with De Bakey type I versus De Bakey type II acute aortic dissection.

METHODS AND MATERIALS. We analyzed the immediate and long-term (5 years) results of surgical treatment of 136 patients with acute aortic dissection, operated on at the Samara Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary named after V. P. Poliakov from 2014 to 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: 1 (116 patients) – De Bakey type 1 dissection, 2 (20 patients) – De Bakey type 2 dissection.

RESULTS. Hospital mortality was significantly higher in group 1 (24.1 % and 5 % in groups 1 and 2, respectively, p–0.05). Independent risk factors for hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection were: De Bakey type I dissection, body mass index>30.2 kg/m2, arterial hypertension, critical preoperative condition, acute renal failure, history of aortic surgery, duration of artificial circulation and circulatory arrest. The five-year survival rate of patients discharged from the hospital did not differ significantly (88 % and 74 % in groups 1 and 2, respectively, p-0.26). Five-year freedom from reoperations in group 1 – 89 %, in group 2 – 100 %, p = 0.3. Negative remodeling of the descending aorta in the long-term period occurred in 73 % of group 1; in group 2, remodeling of the descending aorta was positive or stable (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS. De Bakey type 1 aortic dissection is associated with a higher risk of hospital mortality in patients after surgical treatment, compared with patients with De Bakey type 2 aortic dissection. Five-year survival rate, as well as freedom from reoperation on the aorta in patients discharged from the hospital, does not depend on the type of dissection.

Authors: Kandyba D. V. , Babichev K. V.
Published: February 2025

Acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability. For a long time, intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been the only method of treating patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, at present, endovascular treatment allows to achieve better revascularization and good functional outcomes compared with intravenous rt-PA in patients with ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. This article provides an update and discusses the role of endovascular therapy in management of acute ischemic stroke.
Inuit language(s)
Authors: Cahill Griffin
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the relevant legislation which establishes the official languages of Nunavut, a multilingual subnational unit of Canada, and discusses issues in the interpretation of said legislation. The main issues identified are the definition of “Inuit Language” and the authority afforded to acts in “Inuit.” The Official Languages Act (2008) and the Inuit Language Protection Act (2008) establish and define the three official languages of Nunavut as English, French, and “Inuit Language.” I argue that the legislation, though recognizing Inuit cultural views of themselves as one people speaking one language, also accounts for the varying mutual intelligibilities between Inuit “dialects.” Importantly, there are provisions in the legislation which allow for the legislature to afford translations in the “Inuit Language” equal status to the English and French drafts. This is novel in a country predicated on equivalence and sameness of English and French and is deserving of further inquiry
EXPLORING THE FACTORS BEHIND THE LACK OF INTEREST IN TEACHING AMONG INDONESIAN EFL STUDENT TEACHERS: MOTIVATIONS AND IDENTITIES
Authors: Rahmi Rahmi
Published: February 2025

Teachers' motivations and identities have been popular topics of discussion among researchers. What has been missing in the discussion, though, is the investigation of the motivations and identities of student teachers who studied at an EFL teaching program but were unmotivated to be teachers. Therefore, this study investigated this missing topic in the Acehnese context in Indonesia. Five student teachers participated in this study. To collect the data, a reflective journal and a semi-structured interview were used. Codes were written, and themes about the student teachers’ motivations and identities emerged. This study showed three key findings. First, the student teachers uninterested in teaching were affected by extrinsic motivations to study in an EFL teaching program. Second, the student teachers progressively accepted their identities as EFL student teachers and shaped their desired and undesired future career identities. Third, fears and hopes fluctuated along with feelings of uncertainty about their future identities.

Published: February 2025

English grammar learning poses a significant challenge for teachers, particularly in countries characterized by linguistic and cultural diversity, such as Indonesia. Although English language learning, which inherently encompasses grammar, is compulsory in Indonesian junior high schools, students face difficulties due to the absence of engaging learning strategies. This descriptive qualitative research delved into the perspective and experiences of three Grade 10 teachers from two private high schools in Yogyakarta. The focus was on their awareness of students' difficulties in learning grammar, their perception of the challenges encountered by students in mastering grammar, and their effective teaching strategies aimed at assisting students in overcoming these challenges. The research was conducted through one-on-one, in-depth interviews with the participating teachers. This study revealed that teachers possess the awareness to identify their students' difficulties in learning grammar. In addition, the challenges faced by students primarily stem from their limited exposure to English and lack of motivation. To address these challenges, teachers employ effective strategies such as guided spoken sentence construction and the use of games. These strategies not only provide a structured approach to grammar learning but also make the process engaging and enjoyable for students. By acknowledging the unique needs of their students and utilizing effective teaching methods, teachers play a crucial role in facilitating the mastery of grammar skills.Keywords: EFL Teachers, Grammar, Awareness, Obstacles, Teaching Methods
