Transformasi Modal Sosial ke dalam Modal Ekonomi Dalam Upaya Pengentasan Kemiskinan (Studi di Pulau Lombok, NTB)
Authors: Firmansyah Muhammad , Adha Rishan , Masrun Masrun
Published: March 2019

Pulau Lombok dikenal dengan sebutan Pulau Seribu Mesjid. Keberadaan banyak mesjid di Pulau Lombok merupakan gambaran modal sosial yang masih eksis. Modal sosial lain dalam masyarakat Lombok adalah perayaan maulid nabi oleh sebagian rumah tangga. Tulisan ini mencoba menawarkan gagasan modal sosial yang ditransformasikan ke dalam modal ekonomi dalam upaya pengentasan kemiskinan berbasis masyarakat. Hasil studi menunjukan: 1). Peran informal leader (tuan-tuan guru) yang mengkampanyekan ikhtiar bangun masjid dan perayaan maulid nabi bernilai sama dengan ikhtiar membantu saudara yang miskin, sehingga kedua-duanya dapat dilaksanakan. 2) perlu dilakukan revitalisasi peran masjid, di samping sebagai rumah ibadah juga sebagai pusat aktifitas muamalah (ekonomi). 3) perlunya akurasi data profil masyarakat miskin di masing-masing desa/ kelurahan sehingga penanganannya tepat sasaran dan berbasis mesjid.

Представлены результаты интродукционного изучения (2003 – 2016 гг.) гвоздики кавказской (Dianthus seguieri Vill.) в лесостепной зоне Башкирского Предуралья. Опытные растения выращены из семян, полученных по Международному обменному фонду из Германии в 2003 г. D. seguieri — многолетнее поликарпическое травянистое растение, хамефит. Период от начала вегетации до зацветания — 60 – 70 суток. Цветки D. seguieri — актиноморфные, с двойным околоцветником. Гинецей ценокарпный, состоит из 4 плодолистиков. Семяпочки располагаются на семяносце, в центре завязи. Завязь верхняя, с 2 столбиками. Изучена гинодиэция D. seguieri в условиях культуры. У обоеполой и женской форм растения исследованы стадии цветения и их продолжительность, а также морфология и размеры цветков. Обоеполые и женские цветки D. seguieri различаются по размерам: диаметр женских цветков — 1,7 – 2,2 см, обоеполых цветков — 2,2 – 3,5 см. Отмечена сильная редукция тычиночных нитей и пыльников у женских цветков. В суточных сроках распускания цветков у тех и других половых форм разница не отмечена. Они раскрываются одновременно. Показано, что растения D. seguieri при культивировании в лесостепной зоне Башкирского Предуралья имеют хорошую урожайность семян, которая обусловлена высоким коэффициентом продуктивности (98 %) и большим количеством цветков на растении (до 800 шт./раст.). При интродукции исследованный вид полностью проходит весь цикл роста и развития. По ритму развития D. seguieri относится к длительно вегетирующим вечнозеленым растениям летнего цветения.

Improvement of Earth Canals Constructed on Gypseous Soil by Soil Cement Mixture
Authors: Al-Hadidi Maysam Th. , AL-Maamori Zeina Hamed Nasir
Published: March 2019

The gypseous soil may be one of the problems that face the engineers especially when it used as a foundation for hydraulic structures, roads, and other structures. Gypseous soil is strong soil and has good properties when it is dry, but the problem arises when building hydraulic installations or heavy buildings on this soil after wetting the water to the soil by raising the water table level from any source or from rainfall which leads to dissolve the gypsum content.

Cement-stabilized soil has been successfully used as a facing or lining for earth channel, highway embankments and drainage ditches to reduce the risk of erosion and collapsibility of soil. This study is deliberate the treatment of gypseous soil by using a mixture of soil-cement. Collapsibility  and settlement tests were carried out on gypseous soil brought  from Karbla Governorate with a gypsum content (42.55%) soil mixed with various amounts of cement  (2%,3%,5%,8%,10%,13%,and 15 %) by Wight and compacted to max. dry density 16.5 kN/m3  with O.M.C.( 12.8 % ) . The experimental tests were conducted on a flume with constant velocity (0.148 m/sec) during the test. The results marked that (10) % of cement decreases the collapsibility about 86.54% and the gypsum contained in the soil remain the same nearly after 28 day. Beside that the research shows that the minimum curing time is 14 days.
Numerical Simulation of Unsaturated Soil Water from a Trickle Irrigation System for Sandy Loam Soils
Authors: Khalil Lina Ali , Abid Maysoon Basheer
Published: March 2019

Trickle irrigation is a system for supplying filtered water and fertilizer directly into the soil and water and it is allowed to dissipate under low pressure in an exact predetermined pattern. An equation to estimate the wetted area of unsaturated soil with water uptake by roots is simulated numerically using the HYDRUS-2D/3D software. In this paper, two soil types, which were different in saturated hydraulic conductivity were used with two types of crops tomato and corn, different values of emitter discharge and initial volumetric soil moisture content were assumed. It was assumed that the water uptake by roots was presented as a continuous sink function and it was introduced into Richard's equation in the unsaturated zone. Equations for wetted depth and radius were predicted. A good agreement was found between the predicted results with those obtained from the experiment field work. The maximum error of the predicted results were 23%, and 0.98 for modeling efficiency (EF), moreover, the root square error (RMSE) was below 0.95 cm.
Asphaltene Stability of Some Iraqi Dead Crude oils
Authors: Ali Ali Anwar , Al-Jawad Mohammed S. , Ali Abdullah A.
Published: March 2019

Asphaltene is one of the fractions of the crude oil which is soluble in aromatics such as benzene or toluene and insoluble in alkane such as n-heptane, n-pentane or petroleum ether (mixture of alkane compounds).  Asphaltene precipitation is one of the most common problems that sometimes occurs in both oil recovery and refinery processes as a result of changing in pressure, oil composition, or temperature. Therefore the stability of asphaltene in the crude oil must be studied to show the tendency of it for precipitating asphaltene to prevent it (Asphaltene precipitation and deposition problem) and eliminate the burden of high treatment costs.

In the present study, saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene (SARA) analysis of the six dead crude oil samples from different Iraqi oil fields was conducted by using open column liquid chromatography after separating the asphaltene from them through filtration process. The asphaltene stability of dead crude oil samples was studied depending on changing the composition of them by adding the petroleum ether as an alkane and using colloidal instability index (CII) to determine the tendency of these crude oil samples to precipitate asphaltene depending on the SARA analysis results of these dead crude oils.

All of dead crude oil samples showed the instability of asphaltene depending on this index and this means that all of them might precipitate asphaltene if the composition of these crude oil samples changed due to existing with the alkane in the live case in wells (Live oil is oil containing gas phase at reservoir conditions) such as injection of gas which has high ratio of alkane or the expanding the gas in the oil when the pressure decreases until reaches bubble point pressure.

The refractive index of the dead crude oil samples was measured experimentally and calculated by two correlations which were Fan et al. correlation and Chamkalani correlation. The last one showed the best match between the experimental and calculated values of the refractive index of the dead crude oil samples.
Effect of Hydrated Lime on Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixtures
Authors: Ismael Mohammed Qadir , Ahmed Ahmed Hussein
Published: March 2019

Moisture induced damage can cause a progressive deterioration in the performance of asphalt pavement by the loss of adhesion between asphalt binder and aggregate surface and/or loss of cohesion within the binder in the presence of water. The objective of this paper is to improve the asphalt mixtures resistance to moisture by using hydrated lime as an anti-stripping additive. For this purpose, two types of asphalt binder were utilized; asphalt grades (40-50) and (60-70) with one type of aggregate of 19.0 mm aggregate nominal maximum size, and limestone dust as a mineral filler. Marshall method was adopted to find the optimum asphalt content. Essentially, two parameters were determined to evaluate the moisture susceptibility, namely: The Index of Retained Strength and the Tensile Strength Ratio. The hydrated lime was added by 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 percentages (by weight of aggregate) using the saturated surface dry method. It was concluded that using hydrated lime will improve the moisture damage resistance. This was adopted as the value of tensile strength ratio increased by 24.50 % and 29.16% for AC (40-50) and AC (60-70) respectively, furthermore, the index of retained strength also increased by 14.28 % and 17.50 % for both asphalt grades. The optimum hydrated lime content founded to be 1.5 %.

Virtual reality-based cognitive healthcare interventions: User-centered design considerations, guidelines and framework
Authors: García-Betances Rebeca I. , Cabrera-Umpiérrez María Fernanda , Waldmeyer María Teresa Arredondo
Published: March 2019

Design of computer-based non-pharmacological cognitive healthcare interventions for people afflicted by chronic neurodegenerative impairments must be soundly informed by and clearly centered on users’ distinctive disabilities. In this article we present a use-oriented analysis of those cognitive interventions intended for healthcare of patients with Alzheimer’s dementia and related disorders that use human-computer interaction based on virtual reality technology. The analysis identifies the most important strengths and weakness, and describes and assesses the main key opportunities and challenges inherent to the use of this type of cognitive healthcare interventions. The most critical specific usability concerns that considerably affect these interventions are described in order to be directly addressed during a user-centered design process. Significant evaluation issues that still trouble these interventions’ general acceptance are also included. On the basis of this analysis, appropriate actions are recommended to help minimize accessibility and usability issues. Finally, concrete design guidelines, and a framework with its road map are proposed to direct the design process. The proposed framework’s more outstanding features and functionalities are described in relation to user-centered design conceptualization, implementation and assessment. The use of a consistent user-centered design methodology, such as the one proposed here to tackle the main critical obstacles, could turn out to become the key that allows to achieve a substantial improvement of VR-based cognitive healthcare interventions effectiveness.

Published: March 2019

Background: Lower respiratory tract infections are one of the most common infections among the patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Admission in ICUs and use of life supporting devices increase the risk of infection with multidrug resistant pathogens.
Aims and Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and antibiograms ofthe bacterial pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infectionsamong patients of ICUs.
Materials and Methods: A total of 184 specimens from patients admitted in ICUswith lower respiratory tract infections were included in this study. Isolation, identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed by standard microbiological techniques. Carbapenamase detection was performed by modified Hodge test method.Detection of metallo beta lactamase (MBL) was tested by imipenem and imipenem/EDTA disc. Detection of Klebsiellapneumoniaecarbapenamase (KPC) was performed by imipenem and imipenem/phenyl boronic acid.
Results: Out of 184 samples, 131 showed significant growth of bacterial pathogens. Acinetobacter species (42.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.9%) and Pseudomonasaeruginosa(13.9%)were the three most common isolates. Out of 22 imipenem resistant isolates of Acientobacter species, 9 were KPC producer, 4 were MBL producers and 3 isolates were positive for MBL and KPC both. Among the Acinetobacter species, 5.1% isolates were resistant to tigecycline and colistin. One isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was positive for MBL.
Conclusions:High prevalence of multidrug resistant bacteria in ICUs was recorded. Gram negative bacilli were predominantly associated with LRTI among ICU patients;Acinetobacterspecies being most common isolate. Detection of carbapenamase among the Acinetobacterand emergence of tigecycline resistancelimits the therapeutic options.Regular monitoring of such resistant isolates would be important for managing infection control in critical units.

Published: March 2019

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease of B cell population with excessive secretion of immunoglobulins and presence of free light chains (FLCs) that are by products of immunoglobulin synthesis. Free light chains play crucial role in causing renal damage. Interleukine-6 (IL-6) supports the survival and/or expansion of MM cells by stimulating cells as well as by preventing programmed cell death.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum and urine free light chains (FLC)measurement and compare with IL-6 levels in patients with different stages of Multiple Myeloma (MM) and control group of subjects and to determine their relevance in acute kidney injury occurrence.
Materials and Methods: Recruitment of patients with MM (n=62) made the hematologist that followed clinical Solomon-Durie MM classification. Control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals. Results: Patients with MM and renal function injury had significantly higher concentration of urine κ chains compared to control group and group of MM without renal function injury (p<0.005), whereas this difference was not observed when the patients were divided into disease stages groups. Concentration of IL-6 was significantly higher in patients at MM steady stage compared to control group (p<0.001) and significant difference was also detected in patients with MM at relapse stage and control group (p<0.0005). Concentration of IL-6 in MM patients without renal function and with renal function injury was significantly higher compared to control group (p< 0.001; p<0.0005 respectively). Statistically significant correlation was determined between sera κ and urine κ chains (rho=0.437; p<0.01) as well as between urine λ and sera λ chains (rho=0.505; p<0.01) and between urine κ and urine λ chains (rho=0.364; p<0.01).
Conclusion: Results showed that urine κ chains, sera κ chains and IL-6 are constructing a fine tuned net and point to conclusion that FLC and IL-6 are important for an early treatment response detection for patients with potentially reversible renal failure.

Published: March 2019

Background: The orofacial cleft is the most common birth anomaly with a prevalence rate ranging from 1/1000 to 2.69/ 1000. The middle ear diseases are known to be associated with cleft palate, however, the prevalence and the magnitude of the condition is usually underestimated.
Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out the various exisiting ear abnormalities, to assess the middle ear function and hearing status  in patients with cleft palate and confirm the existence of these manifestations and their significance.
Materials and Methods: All the patients with cleft palate with or without cleft lip over a one-year duration from January to December 2018 at the teaching hospital were include after informed consent. The patients with only cleft lip were excluded. General ENT examination and Otoscopy was performed.  Tympanometry and Pure tone Audiometry was done (in those above 5 years). The degree of hearing loss was categorized using the WHO guidelines.
Results: Out of a total of 56 patients, there were 30(53.6%) male and 26(46.4%) female. The age range was from 2years to 31 years. The mean age was 12.8 years. Maximum number of patients were in the 10-20 years age group 29(51.8%) followed by 22 (39.3%) in the less than 10 years age group. 53 (47.3%) of 112 ears examined  had dull tympanic membrane, followed by retraction of tympanic membrane in 42 (37.5%) ears. Other findings were central perforation in 5 (4.5%), bulging tympanic membrane in 2 (1.8%) and atticoantral disease in 1 (0.9%) ear. 8 (7.1%) ears  had normal findings. There was one case with right ear atresia (0.9%). In Tympanometry findings, the maximum number of ears, 51 (48.1%) had  type B curve, followed by 33 (31.2%) ears with type As curve. 16 (15%) of ears had type C curve. 6 (5.7%) ears had type A curve. B type curve was found more common in less than 10 years age group. A chi Square test was performed and the findings had statistically significant association.  (P value: 0.03 for Right ear tympanometry ; P value: 0.043 for left ear tympanometry). In Pure tone audiometry findings of 105 ears, 72 (68.6%) ears had mild conductive hearing loss. 10 (9.5%) ears had moderate conductive hearing loss, while 1 (1%) ear had mixed hearing loss. 22 (20.9%) ears had normal hearing level.
Conclusion: This study assessed the common ear problems prevalent in cleft patients, along with the hearing loss. Since, ear disease were quite common in these patients, these patients should be evaluated regularly by an otolaryngologist to detect, treat and prevent such problems in these patients so that long term morbidity could be avoided.
Imagining the Exceptional Canada: Nation, Art, and Social Change in Canada’s Charitable Sector
Authors: Saifer Adam
Published: March 2019

This article draws on a case study of the Michaëlle Jean Foundation—a Canadian arts-based charitable organization—to examine processes of national imagining in a charitable sector shaped by neo-liberal capitalism. Utilizing interviews, field notes, and organizational documents, I show how discourses of the nation intersect with the arts to reframe political struggles along culturalist lines, such that social justice optics mask an apolitical and technical model for addressing structural injustice. While foundation-funded artists can engage in creative pushback, I argue that the neo-liberalization of the sector severely limits this national (re)imagining, either shutting it down completely or reconfiguring it in line with a depoliticized framework for social change, further reaffirming dominant mythologies of Canada. With this case-focused analysis, I hope to illuminate how the censorship of resistance in the charitable sector is not always an explicit process driven by the threat of funding withdrawal. Rather, a much more insidious form of depoliticization can occur within charitable sector contexts that have institutionalized and continue to circulate dominant discourses of the nation in their imaginings of better futures—in this instance, through intersections with the arts.
Improved stress concentration factors for circular shafts for uniaxial and combined loading
Authors: Mayr Christina Maria , Rother Klemens
Published: March 2019

Stress concentration factors (SCF) related to specific geometries, loadings and stress quantities can be calculated efficiently using approximate equations. Those relations are typically based on metamodeling via the results of linear elastic analyses. Existing equations for the, technically speaking, very important circular shafts with shoulder fillets or U-shaped notches under bending, torsion or tension/compression can be appropriated, for example, from the DIN 743-2 : 2012-12. Using these relations requires compliance with underlying constraints and assumptions. For example, equations from that code do not provide SCFs larger than 6 and refer only to the maximum principle stress. Furthermore, DIN 743-2 : 2012-12 does not provide SCFs for combined loading, i. e. simultaneous bending, torsion and tensile/compressive loading. This paper presents new and improved equations based on sampling computational finite element simulations and subsequent regression analyses. Multiple improvements could be achieved: The six equations for circular shafts with shoulder fillets or U-shaped grooves derived from DIN 743-2 : 2012-12 were simplified down to two equations. Despite this simplification, the new equations have been generalized for combined loading and include SCFs larger than 6 as well. Choosing between various equations for each type of loading is no longer necessary. Only one equation for each of the two basic geometries is needed. Moreover, two further equations which refer to von Mises equivalent stress have been added. Although the new equations are easier to handle and allow for an estimation of stress concentration factors larger than 6, the accuracy of the new equations is higher than the accuracy of DIN 743-2 : 2012–12 when compared to SCFs derived from finite element simulation as reference values.
Constitutive modeling for high temperature compressive deformation of non-oriented electrical steel
Authors: Dong Qiang , Zhang Jianshui
Published: March 2019

A material mechanical model provides basic data for numerical simulation and technological optimization during the forming process. In this paper, the flow behavior of the hot compressive deformation 0.3 wt.-% Si non-orientation electrical steel were investigated by thermal simulation tests, and a constitutive model was built based on a new modeling method. The thermal simulation tests conducted on a Gleeble 1500 thermo-mechanical simulator over a range of temperatures from 750 to 1050 °C and strain rates from 0.1 to 10 s−1. To predict the hot deformation process of the silicon steel, a constitutive model based on the multiple regression method was developed. Prediction results showed that the proposed model can track deformational behavior accurately. The model was applied to finite element (FE) simulation, and the FE calculation results matched the industry production data satisfactorily.
Laser speckle photometry – Optical sensor systems for condition and process monitoring
Authors: Chen Lili , Cikalova Ulana , Bendjus Beatrice , Gommlich Andreas , Sudip Shohag Roy , Schott Carolin , Steingroewer Juliane , Belting Matthias , Kleszczynski Stefan
Published: March 2019

Laser speckle photometry (LSP) is an innovative, non-destructive monitoring technique based on the detection and analysis of thermally or mechanically activated speckle dynamics in a non-stationary optical field. With the development of speckle theories, it has been found that speckle patterns carry information about surface characteristics. Therefore, LSP offers a great potential for the characterization of material properties and monitoring of manufacturing processes. In contrast to the speckle interferometry method, LSP is very simple and robust. The sample is illuminated by only one laser beam to generate a speckle pattern on the surface. The signals obtained are directly recorded by a CCD or CMOS camera. By appropriate optical solutions for the beam path, typically, resolutions of less than 10 μm are reached if larger areas are illuminated. LSP is definitely a contactless, quick and quality relevant material characterization and defect detection method, allowing process monitoring in many industrial fields. Examples from online biotechnological monitoring and laser based manufacturing demonstrate further potentials of the method for process monitoring and controlling.
Effects of induction hardened surface depth on the dynamic behavior of rotating shaft systems
Authors: Kabasakaloglu Ufuk , Saruhan Hamit
Published: March 2019

Rotating shaft systems play many critical roles in rotating machinery. The performance of any rotating machinery is very dependent on vibrations generated by the rotating shaft. The selection of rotating shaft material is very important to meeting the enormous demand of industrial users on the capability of vibration resistance in rotating machinery. Recent requirements for using rotating shafts have heightened the need for the materials used. The heat treatment of material has received much attention over the last few decades. The research to date has tended to focus on material properties for resistance and strength rather than on dynamic behavior. The main objective of the present study is to experimentally investigate the role of induction surface hardening which is one of the most commonly used types of heat treatment on AISI 1045 steel dynamic behavior. Heat treatable AISI 1045 steel is among the most widely used in all industrial applications requiring more resistance and strength. It has received much attention over the past several decades due to its usage in rotating shafts, axles, crankshafts, and spindles. Induction surface hardening is used to sustain service life by increasing the surface hardness and vibration reliability of a material. Since induction hardened surface depth plays a very important part in the stability of the rotating shaft, three different hardened surface depths (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm) are utilized. The results show that a hardened surface depth of 1.0 mm surprisingly and positively affects the dynamic behavior of the rotating shaft as compared to the hardened surface depths of 0.5 and 1.5 mm.

Este trabalho propõe o desenvolvimento do jogo “O que é, o que é?”, uma série de charadas sobre alimentação e hábitos saudáveis. A motivação para pesquisa deve-se aos elevados índices de obesidade infantil e doenças infanto-juvenis em consequência da má alimentação. Dessa forma, o objetivo foi estimular a adoção do hábito da alimentação saudável por meio do jogo. O problema consiste na análise do uso deste recurso pedagógico como uma ferramenta complementar para o ensino do conteúdo alimentação e saúde, em sala de aula. Para esta análise utilizou-se como metodologia o estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa. O local de estudo foi uma escola municipal de Ensino Fundamental, com alunos do 4º ano, da cidade de Nova Venécia, região noroeste do estado do Espírito Santo. Com base nos resultados obtidos, percebeu-se que o jogo proporciona disposição para a adoção de hábitos mais saudáveis. Considera-se que este jogo contribui como suporte para o aprendizado, sendo uma ferramenta útil para a intensificação do conteúdo alimentação e saúde.

Este artigo apresenta a experiência do uso da tecnologia SIG no contexto educacional da disciplina de Ateliê VI do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de Fortaleza. Tendo como finalidade a definição de parâmetros urbanísticos de ocupação do solo para elaboração de planos de regularização urbanística e fundiária, o geoprocessamento foi utilizado no estudo das características habitacionais da comunidade Caça e Pesca, localizada em Fortaleza. A relevância do tema deve-se à importância de trabalhar em sala de aula a regularização urbanística e fundiária de assentamentos precários através de suas características morfológicas. Nesse sentido, o uso de tecnologias de georreferenciamento mostra-se benéfico à sistematização dos dados coletados, abordando as mais distintas variáveis e tornando o trabalho de levantamento de dados mais aprofundado e condizente com a realidade encontrada na área de estudo, que apresenta relevantes diferenças em relação aos parâmetros de ocupação da cidade formal. Para tanto, realizou-se uma breve revisão bibliográfica de temas como a questão habitacional e as tecnologias de georreferenciamento, apresentando a aplicação do SIG à disciplina através de trabalhos desenvolvidos por alunos e os resultados da aplicação de questionário de avaliação da atividade. O material coletado foi analisado, destacando estratégias e dificuldades encontradas no processo.

Orientados pela interrogação “De que forma o uso do software GeoGebra 3D pode contribuir nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem dos conteúdos de Geometria Espacial no Ensino Médio?”, apresentamos neste artigo um recorte do produto educacional desenvolvido em uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento. Este produto foi elaborado com o objetivo de apresentar um material de apoio didático pedagógico visando explorar construções realizadas através do software GeoGebra 3D, de modo que os alunos desenvolvam habilidades de visualização espacial que possam contribuir para a representação mental dos objetos tridimensionais e a formalização dos conceitos geométricos de poliedros: prismas e pirâmides. Almejamos que esse produto possa provocar nos professores de Matemática o anseio de produzir novas construções ou adaptações das atividades realizadas, utilizando tecnologias digitais comuns ao cotidiano dos alunos.

La retinopatía del prematuro sigue siendo la principal causa de ceguera infantil que afecta principalmente a los bebés prematuros y de bajo peso al nacer. La prevención del parto prematuro es la estrategia más efectiva para reducir la incidencia de retinopatía del prematuro. La identificación y el tratamiento oportunos son esenciales para prevenir la pérdida innecesaria de la visión causada por retinopatía del prematuro. Se ha asociado con múltiples factores de riesgo entre los principales el bajo peso al nacer, edad gestacional y utilización de oxígeno suplementario, entre otros. Su cuadro clínico se caracteriza por una membrana retrolental que origina leucocoria y eventualmente sin tratamiento con complicaciones potenciales como glaucoma, catarata, miopía y ceguera, siendo esta última la más grave. El estándar de tratamiento actual sigue siendo la terapia ablativa a través de la fotocoagulación con láser de la retina isquémica avascular periférica y actualmente se están realizando estudios con anti VEGF los cuales han demostrado beneficios significativos, sin embargo aún no han sido aprobado por la FDA para su utilización clínica.

La capacité à accueillir un afflux massif de victimes au sein d’un hôpital fait partie des obligations de tout établissement de santé (ES). Les modalités de cet accueil sont définies de façon réglementaire par le plan blanc d’établissement. Chaque ES doit s’entraîner. Les exercices sont un élément clé pour apprendre à mieux faire face à ces situations sanitaires exceptionnelles et inhabituelles. Ils permettent de tester les dispositifs et procédures en place, d’acquérir de l’expérience, de déterminer les points forts, les faiblesses et les axes d’amélioration. La conception d’un exercice nécessite avant tout la définition de ses grandes caractéristiques (contexte, type, objectifs), la détermination du cadre et du périmètre de l’exercice (convention d’exercice), la détermination des ressources humaines (animateurs, plastrons, évaluateurs, observateurs) et matérielles nécessaires. Il faudra aussi écrire le scénario (initial, cadence, évolutions prévues), organiser les conditions d’animation (dossier d’exercice) et d’observation, définir les modalités de briefing, de débriefing et les modalités d’évaluation (outils et critères). L’exercice devra mener à un retour d’expérience avec propositions de mesures correctrices si nécessaire. Il doit être piloté par un comité de pilotage multiprofessionnel sous l’égide du directeur d’établissement ou de son représentant. Il doit être conçu comme une étape dans un processus d’amélioration des pratiques professionnelles au profit des patients.
