Published: December 2019

Aim:The purpose of this study was to investigate MPV and RDW values in DTC patients.Background:Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) is subdivided into papillary, follicular and papillary micro thyroid cancers. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and red cell distribution width (RDW) are markers which have been investigated in many cancers, but no data are available for DTC.Objective:MPV and RDW values were assessed in 108 patients with DTC, consisting of 44 with Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) (mean age 43±13.9 years), 34 with Papillary Micro Thyroid Cancer (PmTC) (mean age 43.1 ± 10.6), and 28 with Follicular Cancer (FC) (mean age 46.9±12.5), and 77 control subjects (mean age 47.5±5.9).Methods:The patient and control groups were matched in terms of age, and body mass index. All subjects were investigated using platelet and biochemical parameters.Results:Both MPV [(PTC, PmTC, and FC) (p=0.000, p=0.000 and p=0.001, respectively)] and RDW (PTC, PmTC, and FC) (p=0.02, p=0.04 and p=0.02, respectively)] values increased in patients with DTC compared to the controls. MPV values were significantly positively correlated with CRP (r=0.247; p=0.043), postoperative thyroglobulin (r=0.246; p=0.03), gamma glutamyl transferase (r=0.024; p=0.762), tumor size (r=0.209; p=0.047) and RDW (r=0.207; p=0.005). Age, gender, total cholesterol, and C-reactive protein were identified as independent predictors of MPV. Adjustment for other these factors produced no alteration in these relative risks at multiple regression analysis.Conclusion:Our results suggest that patients with DTC have higher MPV and RDW values than healthy controls. MPV may represent a good follow-up criterion in DTC patients because of its positive correlation with tumor size and thyroglobulin.

Published: December 2019

HighlightsTA for stabilization and securement of PICCs reduced catheter migration. This solution to catheter migration was safe, inexpensive, and highly effective. TA reduced migration rates from 19.35% to 1.4% in more than 411 inpatients. There was no evidence of phlebitis, cellulitis, or microbial contamination. There also was no evidence of central line infections.
THE TEACHING STANDARDS AND SKILLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERS OF BUSINESS STUDIES IN BRAZIL: A STUDY OF THE TEACHING STAFF IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Roble Gilmara Lima de Elua , Augusto Éryka Eugênia Fernandes , Morais Fabio Rogério de 
Published: December 2019

The general purpose of this study is to understand (from the standpoint of Business Administration teachers in higher education) what is required to have lessons of good quality that provide students with an effective return in terms of learning. A qualitative research methodology was employed which was of an exploratory character and descriptive nature; this involved a bibliographical and documentary analysis, together with in-depth interviews, following the guidelines of a semi-structured study, with twelve teachers who came from both public and private institutions. After the study had been undertaken, it was found that what characterizes a good teacher is that he has have a good grounding in didactics and knowledge of the subject being taught. This involves practical work in the classroom with regard to the subject in question, and preferably based on his own professional experience. The teacher should also know how to make use of new technical resources so that classes can allow the students to take part in a more active way. However, it was also clear that a good class does not only depend on the teacher but also on the willingness of the students to learn and the availability of good teaching material. As well as this, it is essential for the academic staff to be supported by the teaching institutions in both the public and private sector.
INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) OPPORTUNITIES AND IMPACTS OF WELL-BEING ON CITIZENS AND SOCIETY
Authors: Guevara Arnoldo José de Hoyos , Silva José Luiz Alves da 
Published: December 2019

The article presents a general scenario on the theme of Internet of Things - IoT, aiming to discuss the opportunities, the impacts and the associated risks, highlighting them under the sight of well-being in our lives and society in general. This paper deals with questions regarding accelerated and disruptive high-tech transformations, in order to be strategically prepared and to deal with challenges ahead. It is in the interest of all to know and anticipate the transformations that are underway and those that will be probable in the future, capturing the spirit of accelerated change that is around us, to prevent impacts, to draw personal strategies to seize opportunities and to avoid serious ruptures in our work and in our personal lives. The contribution for other studies is to allow ongoing discussions regarding the possible changes of behaviors coming from this new environment that will be made possible by the use of the IoT. Some of these behaviors are already on its way. Still, others are to be perceived and developed. This article presents, in the first topic, the new environment of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where it is inserted the concept of IoT. It advances, in the second topic, with the discussion of the extension of the usage of the new technology, its impact and its applications. And it ends discussing the behavioral changes that the massive use of this application may bring us regarding well-being.

A importância da classe hospitalar Semear do Recife no processo de continuidade da escolarização dos estudantes/pacientes com câncer
Authors: Dos Santos Raffael Bruno , Da Conceição Cláudia , Cavalcante Tícia Cassiany 
Published: December 2019

As classes hospitalares surgem como espaço institucional importante na continuidade do processo de escolarização dos sujeitos hospitalizados e atuam na garantia de direitos desses estudantes. A presente pesquisa propõe-se a adentrar no campo da pedagogia hospitalar e possui como objetivo geral analisar a importância da classe hospitalar Semear do Recife, localizada no Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz, no processo de continuidade da escolarização dos estudantes/pacientes com câncer. Como procedimentos de coleta de dados, foram realizadas análise documental, observações com diário de campo na classe hospitalar e entrevista com roteiro semiestruturado com a professora. Percebemos claramente a importância da classe hospitalar para a continuidade da escolarização dos estudantes/pacientes, evitando o rompimento do ciclo escolar devido ao momento de internamento, bem como a relevância das atividades pedagógicas e a significação dessa modalidade de ensino para os discentes em tratamento do câncer. Foi possível constatar também que o pedagogo tem papel fundamental na classe hospitalar, pois é ele quem planeja, executa e analisa o que está dando certo ou não nas atividades diárias da classe. É preciso que os indivíduos hospitalizados sejam vistos como sujeitos de direito, do direito à saúde e também à educação.
Ex Uno Lapide: The making present of absence
Authors: Buhagiar Konrad , Dreyfuss Guillaume , Joris Ephraim Joris 
Published: December 2019

This paper comments on a drawing protocol entitled the “Monolith Drawing”, with which an architectural figure is extracted out of a single volume, synchronising analogue thinking with computational development, to enter history through our capacity to long for the experience of something that is absent. The Lacanian interpretation assumes there cannot be absence in an objective world, for absence can only exist through symbolic or representative means. It is through the representational means of the Monolith Drawing that we enable ourselves, as architects, to design presence where there is none.
This research explores and (re)deploys the notion of ex uno lapide in contemporary architectural production. Such creative practice recovers a tradition linking geology with architectonic drawing and operates in conceptual space through means of contained sets of formal operations to generate a particular kind of architecture.
The Monolith Drawing is here explained in relation to the design of a museum extension to house a tapestry cycle by Peter Paul Rubens, adjacent to St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta. These tapestries represent the idea of transubstantiation. In response, the museum’s design acts as a closed vessel, a monumental reliquary, enabling a closed and controlled environment to ensure the conservation of the artwork. The reliquary is interpreted as a container of meaning, directing a reciprocal gaze towards the idea of meaningful absence. The Monolith Drawing installs two important principles. The idea of the mirror-construct, in which an object is depicted using parallel lines to project its mirror image and allow twofold vision, outwards (res extensa) and inwards (res cogitans); and the idea of ex uno lapide – a strategy where architecture is carved out of solid mass. This carving is guided by allowing the depicted object and its mirror image to intersect. Its transcriptions allow for a drawing with history; a tracing of its own tracing.
Jantzen and Sedlmayr: Diaphaneia—an impossible presence?
Authors: Vaneyan Stepan 
Published: December 2019

The immediacy of visual experience has always appeared as an indicator of verifiability of a presence. However, architecture as a bodily presence seems to be a reality that does not need verification. Yet there remains the issue of sacral architecture, which strives for the transcendent. What can be a medium in the experience of theophany?
Sacral experience of Gothic architecture is very suitable for such observations. However, as I hope to demonstrate, only one theory seems to have actually approached the understanding of interconnections between the Holy Presence and the experience of it on an architectonic level. Precisely, it is Hans Jantzen’s (1881-1967) programmatic theory of “a diaphanic structure”.
Term “diaphaneia” was first introduced by Jantzen in his article “Über den gotischen Kirchenraum” (1927). By that time the word had been used in near-esoteric circles (from Jacob Boehme to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and James Joyce).
Jantzen’s seminal article is dedicated to the space of the Gothic cathedral, which he sees as ritual-liturgical. It is this multilayered space, he argues, that has a “diaphanic structure”. In his late texts (from the 1950 and 1960s) diaphaneia is explored as a universal way of keeping in view the horizon of the invisible presence. Sedlmayr's perception of Jantzen's ideas shows that optical diaphaneia should be complemented with somatic diaphaneia (through “baldachin”, in Sedlmayr's structuralist terms).
The ultimate question is if diaphaneia is merely a means of “spiritualisation” of both the cathedral per se and architectural theory. Although architecture keeps silent, an architectural theorist speaks: using Derrida’s words, diaphaneia becomes diaphonie.
Heritage & persistence: The case of the Kaiapoi fragment
Authors: Douglas Andrew , Short Nicola 
Published: December 2019

This paper considers a small surviving portion of the Kaiapoi Woollens building, a warehouse and offices constructed in the central business district of Auckland, New Zealand in 1913. Demolished in 1964, a small surviving portion, now known as the Kaiapoi fragment, was left fused to its westward neighbour, the Griffiths Holdings building. When the latter, deemed to hold “little specific cultural heritage significance” (Reverb, 2016:14), was itself demolished in 2016 to make way for a new underground train station, its extraneous hanger-on to the east was left in place, raising less easily settled issues of heritage worth.
Despite the minor significance of this fragment, its tenuous persistence opens broader questions about the constitution of the present and the future by cultural heritage, but also, we argue, the precarity of the contemporary present tout court, a state Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (2004 and 2014) sees as heralding an emerging, yet still undefined, post-historicist chronotope, a space-time fusing that is characterised by a present inordinately broadened “by memories and objects form the past” (2014: 54-55). In this, Gumbrecht builds on the notion of the chronotope developed by Mikhail Bakhtin (1895–1975) in his account of particular fusions of space and time evident across the history of the novel.
To better grasp the potential of Gumbrecht’s claims, we return to Bakhtin’s deployment of the chronotope and what underwrites it—dialogical exchange. Moreover, focus on a particular aspect of dialogue developed by Henri Bergson (1859–1941) assists us in rethinking the idea of space-time fusion via what Bergson (1991) himself recognised as a foundational agent capable of dissolving all spatio-temporal amalgamation—duration.
Given the importance of dialogics and chronotopes in contemporary views on heritage and anthropology, we ask how Bergson’s broader emphasis on duration, and with it a “‘primacy of memory’ over a ’primacy of perception’” (Lawlor, 2003: ix), might assist us in expanding Gumbrecht’s notion of presence in heritage contexts. Following Leonard Lawlor’s recognition of a “non-phenomenological concept of presence” in Bergson (x), we attempt a provisional anatomy of presence, one prompted by, despite its diminutive scale, the Kaiapoi fragment itself. If presence can be characterised as a particular attention to the immediacy of life, we propose that heritage considered through the lens of the Kaiapoi fragment makes imaginable a deepening of immediacy towards what Bergson referred to as “attachment to life” (Lapoujade, 2018: 59-63).
Jane AUSTEN, «Oda a la compasión», «Memorias del Sr. Clifford» y otros relatos
Authors: Jordan Núñez Kenneth 
Published: December 2019

Los textos seleccionados pertenecen a la escritora británica Jane Austen (1775-1817) y forman parte de los Juvenilia, un conjunto de escritos de juventud, algunos de ellos inacabados, que escribió antes de cumplir los dieciocho años, y que la propia autora recopila y agrupa en tres volúmenes.
Aunque prácticamente todas sus obras han sido traducidas al español, existen algunos textos que integran los Juvenilia que nunca han sido publicados en lengua española, como es el caso del poema Ode to Pity, y de los relatos Memoirs of Mr Clifford, A fragment written to inculcate the practise of Virtue o The Generous Curate, motivo por el que esta propuesta de traducción se ha considerado de especial interés.
Además del poema y de esos tres escritos, se incluyen The beautifull Cassandra, novela (al menos, así la llama la propia autora) particular por su estructura y brevedad, y A beautiful description of the different effects of Sensibility on different Minds, donde se hace un interesante uso de la lengua mediante varios juegos de palabras.
El poema, que escribe en 1793 y que dedica a su hermana Cassandra, cierra el primer volumen, al que da el nombre de Volume the First (Baker, 2008: 7; Sutherland, 2014: digital). Se estructura en dos estrofas: una primera estrofa de siete versos con rima irregular (ABABCCB) y una segunda estrofa de nueve versos también con rima irregular (ABABCCDCD). Para la traducción, se ha seguido la estructura original de la rima, rima consonante y versos endecasílabos, aunque ha sido preciso utilizar algunos versos decasílabos y dodecasílabos sobre todo en la segunda estrofa.
Fernando MENDES VIANNA, «Traducción de una selección de poemas de A rosa anfractuosa»
Authors: Silvestre Miralles Alicia 
Published: December 2019

No existe traducción sin lectura, y lectura crítica. Precisamente en Mendes Vianna, la vis de traductor y fiel lector tiñe al estilo: percibimos ecos e intertextualidades del Siglo de Oro español y del Romanticismo inglés, en sonetos de redondez quevediana, y musicalidad acompasada, en la sonoridad de vocablos rescatados a las mareas del tiempo y la incultura. Su Albatros nos trae a la memoria aquel otro albatros de la Balada del Anciano Marinero, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798) de Samuel Coleridge. Ansia de eternidad, reflexión comedida sobre amor y muerte, se ensamblan con la naturaleza, que acompaña los retablos-poemas como más que paisaje, con inquietante belleza. Juegan entre versos aves leves y certidumbres pesadas, sin colisión. Hay aves menores, (mochuelos) y mayores (buitres, urubúes), como si el poeta contemplase desde lo alto el panorama, brindando una posición de abstracción y penetración sensitiva.
Predomina en sus cuadros-poemas la tonalidad azul, no como el de Rubén Darío, sino de Da Vinci, una vaga y misteriosa neblina que todo lo permea. Hay, en fin, humanidad a manos llenas y poesía en estado puro.
Nuestra traducción trata de ajustarse a la musicalidad manteniendo el caudal de fondo en una forma consabidamente no traducible. A veces hemos optado con riesgo por una inversión del orden de palabras, o por la adición de un término inexistente para preservar un ritmo hondamente marcado en el original. Siempre ha sido prioridad intentar no mancillar el alma del poema, su eje y su mensaje, su partitura.
Rastrear la rosa en la poesía sería infinito: Vinícius de Morães (O Poeta e a Rosa), Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, (Poema a una rosa), Pablo Neruda (Oda a la rosa), Garcilaso de la Vega (En tanto que de rosa y azucena), Unamuno (La luna y la rosa), Alberti (El testamento de la rosa), Emilio Prados (Rosa interior), José Martí (Cultivo una rosa blanca) y Vicente Huidobro (Arte poética) que decía: Por qué cantáis la rosa, ¡oh poetas!/ hacedla florecer en el poema.
Es esta flor rara, rosa celeste o azul, la que florece en A Rosa Anfractuosa. La selección presentada persigue ofrecer un sesgo de su poesía más íntimamente humana, su mística cotidiana, su amor por la palabra y su fascinación por los eventos celestiales. Es nuestro deseo que este ramillete encienda la curiosidad e impulse a conocer más a este poeta del mar y de la rosa, hechos uno en el misterio del corazón, para por fin decir con Silesius: La rosa es sin por qué, florece porque florece, que según Borges definía lo que es poesía.

Authors: Emmanuel Gahizi none 
Published: December 2019

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is an area of great value in information technology as concerns and interests to Information Systems. SISP has consistently been ranked the top issue for IS executive since 1970â€™s in developed and non-developed countries.Studies show that Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP)can help the manager to design information systems, develop IS strategy and distribute resources for IS strategy. However, in Rwanda ,the use of SISP in healthcare sectors Â is still limited and under-researched. The key goal of this research is to find out the positive impactÂ and the gain for putting into practice the SISP to Developing countries, particularly Rwanda Health sector. The research is aimed at provingthe limitations of the existing Information Systems within the healthcare sector of Rwanda.Furthermore, Hybrid SWOT approach will be used to give solutions to the challenges faced in the implementation of SSIP for health sectors in Rwanda.
Successful surgical strategy for ventral thoracic spinal perimedullary spinal arteriovenous fistulas: Case report
Authors: Subramaniam S. Muruga , Ishii Kazuhiko , Sheng Chen Jui , Nakatomi Hirofumi , Takai Keisuke , Saito Nobuhito 
Published: December 2019

Background:
Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are vascular lesions that often pose significant surgical challenges. This is particularly true for those located close to the anterior spinal artery. Here, we analyzed the surgical options for treating an anterior perimedullary AVF (pAVFs).

Case Description:
A 66-year-old male with the right lower extremity weakness was diagnosed with a spinal dural AVF at the L1 level. It was initially treated with open surgery followed by CyberKnife radiosurgery at another institution. Five years later, he presented with a persistent pAVF fistula now involving the T11 level; the major feeder originated on the left at the T7–T8 level (e.g., involving a left-sided “duplicated” anterior spinal artery). Utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) computer tomography (CT) guided approach; he underwent a left-sided posterolateral T10–T12 laminectomy, sufficient to allow for 30–40° of anterior spinal cord rotation. This was performed under neurophysiological monitoring without any significant changes. Surgery included indocyanine green video angiography, temporary feeder clipping, and complete occlusion of the AVF, followed by complete clipping/resection as confirmed on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging.

Conclusion:
Utilizing a 3D CT image, a ventral pulmonary arteriovenous malformation was excised utilizing a left-sided posterolateral approach allowing for 30–40° of cord rotation.
Egy új törvényi tényállás szükségességéről
Authors: Szabó Zsolt Tibor 
Published: December 2019

A Büntető Törvénykönyvről szóló 2012. évi C. törvény (a továbbiakban: Btk.) 420. § (1) bekezdésében foglalt törvényi tényállás az egyedüli az egész büntető kódexben, amelynek diszpozíciójában tényállási elemként szerepel a közbeszerzési eljárás. Ennek ellenére, a közbeszerzési eljáráshoz további, olyan büntetni rendelt tényállások is társíthatók, amelyek szükségszerűen megvalósulnak, befejezetté válnak stádiumtani szempontból, ha az állami közpénzek pályáztatás során történő kiosztásakor megjelenik a felek közötti bűnös kapcsolat.
A teljesség igénye nélküli vizsgált, eljárásbeli magatartásokból kitűnik, hogy egy nem tisztességes közbeszerzési eljárás alapja valamely korrupciós bűncselekmény elkövetése; majd a lezárt közbeszerzési eljárás után, a ne bis in idem elvének sérelme nélkül válik tényállásszerűvé a versenyt korlátozó megállapodás bűntette, azaz a Btk. 420. § (1) bekezdésében rögzített tényállás nem azonos a közbeszerzési korrupció fogalmával. Ennek igazolására felvázolom, hogy mit értek közbeszerzési korrupció alatt.
Tanulmányomban arra törekszem elsődlegesen, hogy alátámasszam, a hivatkozott deliktum nem képes betölteni azt a jogalkotói célt, hogy a közbeszerzési korrupciót visszaszorítsa; másodlagosan egy új törvényi tényállás szükségességének okaira is kitérek.
