El reto de las universidades públicas de México para incorporar una educación pertinente acorde con la sustentabilidad
Authors: Zúñiga Sánchez Oscar 
Published: June 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo de corte documental fue brindar una discusión teórica en torno a conceptos relacionados con el término sustentabilidad (es decir, desarrollo sostenible, educación ambiental, formación ambiental, ecopedagogía, biopedagogía y educación para el desarrollo sostenible) con el fin de detectar coincidencias y desacuerdos que sirvan de apoyo para gestores y tomadores de decisión de las políticas universitarias en el momento de incorporar dichos vocablos en el currículo de las instituciones de educación superior. Luego de presentar esa discusión teórica se puede concluir que las universidades públicas del país, como organizaciones complejas, tienen el reto de comprender e implementar los principios de la sustentabilidad dentro del currículo universitario como parte de su compromiso con la Agenda 2030 y los objetivos para el desarrollo sustentable. Asimismo, se debe tomar en cuenta que la estructuración actual que caracteriza a las universidades públicas del país —basada en la departamentalización del conocimiento— favorece a la fragmentación de la ciencia, realidad cuestionada por la EDS, la cual invita a la reconciliación de las distintas disciplinas para contribuir al diseño y desarrollo de nuevos modelos teórico-metodológicos que permitan dar respuestas a los desafíos que enfrenta el desarrollo sostenible.

Politics and Ethic of Care of the Self in Albert Camus’s The Plague
Authors: Bairva Mukesh Kumar 
Published: June 2021

Albert Camus’ The Plague articulates a new aesthetic of existence that resists biopolitical normalization. It means cultivating one’s self and not attempting to discover an authentic and hidden self because it entails a continual process of becoming. The sudden eruption of plague in Oran, signifies a rupture in history of its people as the “bored populace is consumed by commercial habits aimed at making money”. In The Plague, if some people become more self-centred and insensitive, characters such as Rieux, Rambert, Peneloux and Joseph Grand show concern for the suffering people and stand in solidarity with them. Their characterization as ordinary individuals who assume responsibility for others’ existence in times of disaster reflects Camus’ hermeneutic of care of the self as an ethical project. Camus aptly asserts that “ordinary acts of courage and kindness are more helpful than the illusion of superheroes”. Deriving a cue from Foucault, Heidegger and Levinas, the paper attempts to explore how care of the self is intertwined with ethics and politics. It is argued that without spiritual discipline and caring for others, the ethical transformation of self cannot take place. It indicates fashioning of the self more freely and self-reflexively and thus speaking truth to power and sacrificing for others. The paper examines this poetics of self which shares an ethical relationship with truth, freedom and kindness.

Personality has a great effect on performance and coach-athlete relationship in a team. Sports scientist asserts that a lack of certain personality traits could help to explain “why some individuals gifted at sport do not thrive at elite level.” Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine any differences of personality traits between coaches and players of Malaysian football teams as well to identify any differences concerning to personality traits among Malaysian successful and less successful football teams. (n =16) coaches and (n = 200) players of the Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Premier League were identified to participate in the modified GEQ (2009) which measured personal attributes and personal qualities. Independent t-test apply and the results indicated that the null hypothesis was rejected with the statistically of n (214); t = 2.441, p = .015; ​​​<.05 and n(214); t = 2.434, p = .020; <0.05. Personal qualities and attributes showed significant high mean value for Malaysian successful football teams n (106); t = 4.947, p = .000; <.05. This study distinguished personality traits that seem to set apart the successful high-performing coach and athletes. This study has contributed to Coaching Science, the body of knowledge.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To develop a multivariable model and online decision-support calculator to aid in preoperative discrimination of benign from malignant splenic masses in dogs.

ANIMALS
522 dogs that underwent splenectomy because of splenic masses.

PROCEDURES
A multivariable model was developed with preoperative clinical data obtained retrospectively from the records of 422 dogs that underwent splenectomy. Inclusion criteria were the availability of complete abdominal ultrasonographic examination images and splenic histologic slides or histology reports for review. Variables considered potentially predictive of splenic malignancy were analyzed. A receiver operating characteristic curve was created for the final multivariable model, and area under the curve was calculated. The model was externally validated with data from 100 dogs that underwent splenectomy subsequent to model development and was used to create an online calculator to estimate probability of splenic malignancy in individual dogs.

RESULTS
The final multivariable model contained 8 clinical variables used to estimate splenic malignancy probability: serum total protein concentration, presence (vs absence) of ≥ 2 nRBCs/100 WBCs, ultrasonographically assessed splenic mass diameter, number of liver nodules (0, 1, or ≥ 2), presence (vs absence) of multiple splenic masses or nodules, moderate to marked splenic mass inhomogeneity, moderate to marked abdominal effusion, and mesenteric, omental, or peritoneal nodules. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the development and validation populations were 0.80 and 0.78, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The online calculator (T-STAT.net or T-STAT.org) developed in this study can be used as an aid to estimate the probability of malignancy in dogs with splenic masses and has potential to facilitate owners' decisions regarding splenectomy.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To quantify the relative risk of intestinal dehiscence in dogs undergoing intestinal resection and anastomosis (IRA), compared with enterotomy, for surgical management of small intestinal foreign bodies, and to evaluate the association between nasogastric tube placement for early enteral nutrition (EEN) and hospitalization time.

ANIMALS
211 dogs undergoing 227 surgeries for intestinal foreign body removal.

PROCEDURES
Medical records were reviewed for dogs undergoing a single-site sutured enterotomy or IRA for foreign body intestinal obstruction between May 2008 and April 2018. Multivariable logistic regression was used to quantify the association between surgical procedure and dehiscence. Multiple linear regression was used to quantify the association of nasogastric tube placement with total hospitalization time.

RESULTS
Dehiscence rates were 3.8% (7/183) and 18.2% (8/44) for enterotomy and IRA, respectively. Overall dehiscence rate for all surgeries was 6.6% (15/227). The odds of intestinal dehiscence for IRA were 6.09 times (95% CI, 1.89 to 19.58) the odds for enterotomy. An American Society of Anesthesiologists score > 3 (OR, 4.49; 95% CI, 1.43 to 14.11) and an older age (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 1.01 to 1.02] for each 1-month increase in age) were significantly associated with greater odds of intestinal dehiscence, regardless of surgical procedure. Placement of a nasogastric tube was not associated with intestinal dehiscence or decreased total hospitalization time when controlling for the year of surgery.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Patients undergoing IRA were at a significantly higher risk of intestinal dehiscence, compared with patients undergoing enterotomy. Although this finding should not be used to recommend enterotomy over IRA, this information may be useful in guiding owner expectations and postoperative monitoring.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 2-month-old 12.0-kg (26.4-lb) sexually intact male alpaca was evaluated for a 1-week history of progressive forelimb lameness with no known history of trauma.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
The cria had toe-touching lameness in the right forelimb with a firm swelling at the distal dorsomedial metacarpal region. Signs of pain were elicited on palpation of the swollen region. There was no associated wound or draining tract. Radiographic examination revealed soft tissue swelling and osteomyelitis of the distal portion of the third metacarpal bone with a possible medial cortical sequestrum.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
The cria was hospitalized and treated with meloxicam (1 mg/kg [0.45 mg/lb], PO, q 72 h) and ceftiofur sodium administered SC (2.2 mg/kg [1 mg/lb], q 12 h for 8 days) and by means of regional limb perfusion (1.25 mg/kg [0.57 mg/lb], IV, q 48 h for 8 days). Lameness and swelling improved, and the cria was discharged from the hospital with meloxicam (1 mg/kg, PO, q 72 h for 2 weeks) and ceftiofur crystalline free acid (1.5 mg/kg [0.68 mg/kg], SC, q 5 d for 2 weeks). At a recheck examination 17 days later, there was radiographic evidence of a well-defined 3.4 × 0.3-cm osseous sequestrum in the distal aspect of the affected third metacarpal bone. The owner declined further treatment and elected to monitor the cria at home. One year later, radiographic examination revealed nearly complete resolution of the sequestrum.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results for this patient suggested that osseous sequestra in some camelids may resolve following medical treatment without surgical intervention.
Bandwidth Selection for Kernel Generalized Regression Neural Networks in Identification of Hammerstein Systems
Authors: Lv Jiaqing , Pawlak Mirosław 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of data-driven smoothing parameter (bandwidth) selection in the context of nonparametric system identification of dynamic systems. In particular, we examine the identification problem of the block-oriented Hammerstein cascade system. A class of kernel-type Generalized Regression Neural Networks (GRNN) is employed as the identification algorithm. The statistical accuracy of the kernel GRNN estimate is critically influenced by the choice of the bandwidth. Given the need of data-driven bandwidth specification we propose several automatic selection methods that are compared by means of simulation studies. Our experiments reveal that the method referred to as the partitioned cross-validation algorithm can be recommended as the practical procedure for the bandwidth choice for the kernel GRNN estimate in terms of its statistical accuracy and implementation aspects.

Abstract
With the increase in studies about artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational field, many scholars in the field believe that the role of teachers, school and leaders in education will change. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine what possible scenarios are there with the arrival of AI in education and what kind of implications it can reveal for future of schools. The research was designed as a phenomenological study, a qualitative research method, in which the opinions of participants from different sectors were examined. The results show that schools and teachers will have new products, benefits and also face drawbacks with the arrival of AI in education. The findings point out some suggestions for use of AI and prevention of possible problems. While participants generally seem to have positive perceptions towards AI, there are also certain drawbacks, especially highlighted by teachers and academicians, regarding the future of teaching. Lawyers and jurists tend to focus more on legal grounds for AI in education and future problems, while engineers see AI as a tool to bring quality and benefit for all in the education sector.

Introduction. Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive liver disease (VOD) is one of the most dangerous complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT).The objective of our study was to analyze risk factors associated with SOS/VOD in children and adults after alloHSCT.Methods and materials. The study included 76 patients who were diagnosed with the development of SOS/VOD after alloHSCT performed in Raisa Gorbacheva Memorial Research Institute for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Transplantation between 2001 and 2019. 25 patients (32.9 %) were younger than 18 years, 51 patients (68.1 %) — 18 years and older. Among them, 17 patients were treated with defibrotide at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day, median therapy duration — 21 day.Results. One-year overall survival (OS) was significantly higher when partial and complete response to the therapy was achieved — 45 %, than when there was no response — 0 % in the general group (p = 0.001). According to the results of multivariate analysis of unrelated alloHSCT HR 2.040 (95 %CI 1.112-3.744, р = 0.021), acute GVHD HR 0.496 (95 % CI 0.272-0.903, р = 0.022), moderate/severe SOS/VOD HR 2.423 (95 % CI 1.298-4.524, p = 0.005) statistically significantly influenced the 1-year OS. Defibrotide and accompanying therapy did not significantly influence the 1-year OS in children and adults (n=76) - 53 % and 54 % (p=0.86), respectively. In a multivariate analysis. unrelated alloHSCT HR 8.172 (95 %CI 2.176-30.696, р=0.002) and moderate and severe SOS/VOD HR 9.077 (95 % CI 2.425-33.978, р=0.001) significantly influenced the 1-year OS in the pediatric group.Conclusion. The understanding of risk factors of adverse prognosis in patients SOS/VOD facilitates selection of patients who will benefit the most from therapy with defibrotide. Early administration of defibrotide in the course of VOD/SOS is crucial to achieve response.

Authors: Sofyan Sofyan , Maesaroh Eneh , Windyaningrum Ratih , Mahardhika Brahmadhita Pratama 
Published: June 2021

Determination of crude fat content (ether extract) using a separate Soxhlet method requires an extraction time of 4 to 6 hours to achieve 5-6 circulation for 1 sample of material. Given the fact that the analysis and extraction time are not time efficient, therefore an alternative method is needed with good accuracy and faster testing time. One alternative is the single-extractor Soxhlet method. The aims of this study were to evaluate the comparison of crude fat extraction results in the separated Soxhlet method and the Soxhlet method in one extractor for several feed ingredients. For the fat testing, this study used two methods, namely the separate method and the Soxhlet method of testing single extractor. The experiments were done by a completely randomized design with 2 treatments and 3 replications. The data was analyzed using the Student T-test. The results showed that the separate Soxhlet method and the single extractor Soxhlet method had no significant difference to the crude fat content of the concentrate feed ingredients with T> 0.05. The use of single extractor Soxhlet showed significant result with T< 0.01 which lower ​​than the separate Soxhlet method in forage samples on the crude fat concentration. Given the outcomes, the use of single extractor Soxhlet is more efficient than the separate Soxhlet method in terms of analysis time of a large number of samples.

Published: June 2021

Background The existing body of kinesiology tape (KT) research reveals inconsistent results which challenges the efficacy of the intervention. Understanding professional beliefs and KT clinical application might provide insight for future research and development of evidence-based guidelines. Purpose The purpose of this study was to survey and document the beliefs and clinical application methods of KT among healthcare professionals in the United States. Design Cross-sectional survey study. Methods A 30-question online survey was emailed to members of the National Athletic Trainers Association, Academy of Orthopedic Physical Therapy, and American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy. Professionals were also informed through a recruitment post in different private healthcare Facebook groups. Results One thousand and eighty-three respondents completed the survey. Most respondents used KT for post-injury treatment (74%), pain modulation (67%), and neuro-sensory feedback (60%). Most believed that KT stimulates skin mechanoreceptors (77%), improve local circulation (69%), and modulates pain (60%). Some respondents believed KT only created a placebo effect (40%) and use it for such therapeutic purposes (58%). Most used a standard uncut roll (67%) in black (71%) or beige (66%). Most respondents did not use any specialty pre-cut tape (83%), infused tape (99.54%), or a topical analgesic with tape (65%). The most common tape tension lengths used by respondents were 50% tension (47%) and 25% (25%) tension. Patient reported outcomes (80%) were the most common clinical measures. Most respondents provided skin prep (64%) and tape removal (77%) instructions. Some did not provide any skin prep (36%) or tape removal (23%) instruction. The average recommended times to wear KT were two to three days (60%). The maximum times ranged from two to five days (81%). Conclusion This survey provides insight into how professionals use KT and highlights the gap between research and practice. Future research should address these gaps to better determine evidence-based guidelines. Level of Evidence 3
