Published: September 2021

Background: The public health relevance of health literacy is highlighted by the fact that its higher levels can improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities. In order to design effective interventions for improving health literacy, the relationship between health literacy and other factors such as sociodemographic variables, subjective health and social support must be understood.Objective: Our aim was to test a socioecological model of the determinants of health literacy with a special focus on the effect of residence. Our study investigated geographical differences regarding the levels of health literacy and its determinants as this was not investigated before in European nationwide surveys.Methods: Data was collected by a polling company in a sample (n = 1,200) of the Hungarian adult population nationally representative by age, gender, and permanent residence in 2019 January. The questionnaire included items on sociodemographic data, subjective well-being, social support, and two health literacy scales. A recursive path model was used to outline the mediating effect of social support between sociodemographic variables and health literacy where both direct and indirect effects of the explanatory variables and multiple relationships among the variables were analyzed simultaneously. Multiple-group analysis was applied to the three pre-set categories of permanent residence (capital city, urban and rural).Results: There was no statistically significant difference by residence regarding levels of health literacy. Social support and educational attainment were the most important determinants of health literacy after adjusting for the effect of other sociodemographic variables. However, the magnitude of effect of social support and educational attainment is different between types of settlements, the strongest being in rural areas.Conclusion: Social support seems to mediate the effect of socioeconomic position on health literacy which could be taken into account when designing interventions to improve health literacy, especially in rural areas. Further studies would be needed especially in rural communities to see whether improvement of social support could be utilized in projects to increase the level of health literacy.

Objective: Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is an extremely rare but serious complication of pigtail catheter drainage. The aim of the case report is to review our experience in the diagnosis and treatment for CAE after pigtail catheter drainage.Case presentation: In our study, we report a case of CAE following pigtail catheter insertion for pneumothorax. A 50-year-old man was diagnosed with a pulmonary mass in the right lower lobe. He underwent a right lower lobectomy. Pneumothorax was present after the removal of the chest tube. Pigtail catheter drainage was used in order to treat the pneumothorax, which resulted in convulsions, limb stiffness, and unconsciousness. A brain CT scan was immediately performed and showed multiple low densities in the right occipital lobe, which was diagnosed as CAE. Assisted breathing, antibiotic treatment, and antiepileptic therapy were used and the patient gradually improved and was discharged at 27 days of treatment but the muscle strength of the left limb was weakened.Conclusion: We analyzed and summarized the possible causes of CAE in the literature, and the findings of the case could enhance the vigilance of clinicians.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by liver failure and by an impaired neurotransmission and neurological function caused by hyperammonemia (HA). HE, in turn, decreases the phosphorylation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε), contributing to the impairment of neuronal functions. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) exerts a neuroprotective effect by increasing the GABAergic tone through GABAA receptor stimulation. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of DHEA in an animal model of HE, and the possible modulation of PKCε expression in different brain area.Methods: Fulminant hepatic failure was induced in 18 male, Sprague–Dawley rats by i.p. administration of 3 g/kg D-galactosamine, and after 30 min, a group of animals received a subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg (DHEA) repeated twice a day (3 days). Exploratory behavior and general activity were evaluated 24 h and 48 h after the treatments by the open field test. Then, brain cortex and cerebellum were used for immunoblotting analysis of PKCε level.Results: DHEA administration showed a significant improvement of locomotor activity both 24 and 48 h after D-galactosamine treatment (****p &lt; 0.0001) but did not ameliorate liver parenchymal degeneration. Western blot analysis revealed a reduced immunoreactivity of PKCε (*p &lt; 0.05) following D-galactosamine treatment in rat cortex and cerebellum. After the addition of DHEA, PKCε increased in the cortex in comparison with the D-galactosamine-treated (***p &lt; 0.001) and control group (*p &lt; 0.05), but decreased in the cerebellum (*p &lt; 0.05) with respect to the control group. PKCε decreased after treatment with NH4Cl alone and in combination with DHEA in both cerebellum and cortex (****p &lt; 0.0001). MTS assay demonstrated the synergistic neurotoxic action of NH4Cl and glutamate pretreatment in cerebellum and cortex along with an increased cell survival after DHEA pretreatment, which was significant only in the cerebellum (*p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: An association between the DHEA-mediated increase of PKCε expression and the improvement of comatose symptoms was observed. PKCε activation and expression in the brain could inhibit GABA-ergic tone counteracting HE symptoms. In addition, DHEA seemed to ameliorate the symptoms of HE and to increase the expression of PKCε in cortex and cerebellum.

The primary aim of this study was to reveal the effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on motor function, proprioception, balance, and gait ability in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). The secondary aim was to determine the correlation between clinical outcomes. This study was a prospective and multi-center study. A total of 13 incomplete SCI patients who met inclusion criteria received 30 min of RAGT with Morning Walk® (Curexo, Seoul, South Korea), and 1 h of conventional physiotherapy 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Clinical outcome measures were 10 m walk test (10MWT), 6 min walk test (6mWT), lower extremity motor score (LEMS), proprioception, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI)-II. All participants were assessed within 48 h before and after the intervention. All clinical outcomes were statistically improved after RAGT. Subgroup analysis according to the initial proprioception, WISCI-II in the normal group showed a statistically significant improvement compared to the abnormal group. Initial BBS and WISCI-II had a positive correlation with most of the final clinical outcomes. The final BBS had a strong positive correlation with the final 10MWT, 6mWT, and WISCI-II. Initial proprioception had a positive correlation with the final WISCI-II. The final proprioception also had a moderate positive correlation with 6mWT and BBS. This study’s results suggest that the end-effector RAGT could promote proprioception, balance ability and walking ability. Postural control ability and proprioception also had a positive relationship with gait ability.

Large scale green macroalgae blooms (MABs) caused by Ulva prolifera have occurred regularly in the Yellow Sea since 2007. In the MAB dissipation phase, the landing or sinking and decomposition of U. prolifera would alter the physical-chemical environment of seawater and cause ecological, environmental, and economic problems. To understand MAB dissipation features, we used multiple sensors to analyze the spatiotemporal variation of the MAB dissipation phase in the southern Yellow Sea. The results show the variation in the daily dissipation rate (DR) was inconsistent from year to year. Based on the DR variation, a simple method of estimating MAB dissipation days was proposed for the first time. Verification results of the method, from 2018 to 2020, showed the estimated dissipation days were relatively consistent with the results obtained by remote sensing imagery. From 2007 to 2020, the order in which macroalgae landed in the coastal cities of Shandong Peninsula can be roughly divided into two types. In one type, the macroalgae landed first in Rizhao, followed by Qingdao, Rushan, and Haiyang. In the other type, they landed in the reverse order. The MABs annual distribution density showed significant differences in the southern Yellow Sea. These results provided a basis for evaluating the MABs’ impact on marine ecology and formulating the green-tide prevention and control strategies.

INTRODUÇÃO: COVID-19 é uma patologia respiratória semelhante à gripe e pode se tornar uma doença respiratória grave, ocasionando disfunção orgânica e levando ao óbito. Devido a sua propagação exagerada a OMS declarou uma “emergência de saúde pública de interesse internacional”. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o impacto da colchicina na mortalidade de pacientes infectados pelo SARS-COV-2. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura realizada entre abril e maio de 2021, utilizando a base de dados Pubmed como fonte, buscando os descritores do DeCS: “colchicine”, "coronavírus", “mortality” e o operador boleano ''AND''. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 26 artigos publicados entre 2020 e 2021, englobando trabalhos caso-controles, metanálises, ensaios clínicos randomizados, revisões sistemáticas, estudos coorte e revisão de literatura, destes foram selecionados 10 para escrever a discussão . DISCUSSÃO: O uso da colchicina diminui o estado inflamatório exacerbado causado pela infecção do SARS-COV-2, reduzindo complicações e o óbito dos pacientes. Seu uso aumentou a sobrevida, reduz o tempo e a necessidade do uso de oxigenoterapia, a gravidade da doença e previne hospitalização. CONCLUSÃO: Os estudos demonstraram benefícios da colchicina principalmente na morbimortalidade de pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19. No entanto, são necessários mais estudos.

Published: September 2021

Представлены результаты исследований рамочной антенны, в которой подстроечным элементом является фоторезистор, управляемый лазерным излучением. Показано, что использование фоторезистора как элемента внешнего контура рамочной антенны, включенного последовательно, позволяет изменять согласование рамочной антенны с помощью внешнего лазерного источника. Представлены результаты исследований характеристик коэффициента передачи рамочных антенн, состоящих из медной фольги на диэлектрической основе и полупроводникового элемента. Установлено, что при изменении интенсивности лазерного излучения, падающего на полупроводниковый элемент-фоторезистор, изменяется коэффициент отражения рамочной антенны. В диапазоне от 10 МГц до 18ГГц получены зависимости коэффициентов отражения (Su)рамочных антенн с полупроводниковым элементом. Проведено сравнение рамочной антенны и рамочной антенны с фоторезистором.
The results of an experiment with a loop antenna, in which the building element is a photoresistor controlled by laser radiation, are presented. It is shown that the use of a photoresistor as an element of the external contour of a loop antenna connected in series makes it possible to change the matching of the loop antenna due to an external laser source. The results of studies of the characteristics of the transmission coefficient of loop antennas consisting of a dielectric copper foil and a semiconductor element are presented. It was found that when the intensity of the laser radiation incident on the semiconductor element-photoresistor changes, the reflection coefficient of the frame antenna changes. In the range of 10 MHz-18 GHz, the dependences of the reflection coefficients (S11) of loop antennas with a semiconductor element are obtained. A comparison is made between a loop antenna and a loop antenna with a photoresistor.

Published: September 2021

AbstractHere, we present two case studies of extremely long-term retention. In the first, Richard C. Atkinson (RCA) had learned word sequences during experiments for his dissertation. Sixty-seven years later, RCA relearned the same words either in the original order or in a scrambled order. RCA reported no conscious awareness that the words were those used in the dissertation, but his relearning was considerably better for the words in the original order. In the second case study, Denis Cousineau had searched displays of objects for the presence of a target. The targets and foils had been novel at the beginning of training, and his search rate improved markedly over about 70 sessions. After 22 years, retraining showed retention of much of this gain in rate of search, and the rate was markedly faster than search for new objects with the same structure as the trained set. We consider interpretations of these case studies for our understanding of long-term retention.

Repensar los cuidados: de las prácticas a la ontopolítica
Authors: García Selgas Fernando J. , Martín Palomo María Teresa 
Published: September 2021

En este artículo se plantea una revisión teórica del desarrollo seguido por muchas de las principales investigaciones sobre cuidados y de la centralidad que el feminismo les ha otorgado. Argumentamos que ello ha llevado a concebir los cuidados como complejos procesos socioprácticos que son fundamentales para las subjetividades, el consenso social y la perpetuación de un mundo común. La posterior indagación en la interdependencia de tales prácticas, las éticas de los cuidados y la emergencia de una perspectiva posthumanista nos permite desbordar esa concepción, caracterizando la lógica de los cuidados como una lógica de ajustes continuos y defendiendo el paso de aquellas éticas a una eventual ontología de materializaciones del cuidar que es inevitablemente política y altera nuestra concepción de lo humano y su inserción en el entorno.
Un même environnement, deux interprétations écopoétiques (chez les Peuls du Mali)
Authors: Seydou Christiane 
Published: September 2021

Chez les Peuls du Massina (Mali), la situation écologique trouve, dans deux genres poétiques, une illustration des rapports entre l’environnement et cette expression langagière à vocation esthétique et culturelle qu’est la littérature. L’un, le mergol, qui traite de tout sujet, recourt à l’expression poétique – qui favorise la mémorisation – pour décrire la réalité écologique et l’impact de l’humain sur l’organisation de l’espace, dans une perspective directement informative, pour la transmission et la diffusion du patrimoine culturel et linguistique. L’autre, les jammooje na’i – louanges aux bovins –, déclamé par les jeunes bergers aux fêtes de transhumance, est directement lié à l’inscription de la vie humaine et animale dans l’espace et la réalité écologique, et s’en trouve naturellement conditionné, certes dans son contenu, mais plus encore dans sa forme, ses instances d’élaboration et de performance et enfin sa fonction ; ici, l’utilisation de la langue dans sa dimension plus formelle que sémantique investit ces poèmes d’un au‑delà des mots : défilé des troupeaux et enchaînement des mots étant symbole de perpétuation de ce qui fait l’identité peule. L’impact de la relation à l’environnement dans l’expression littéraire s’explique sans doute par la situation originellement nomade de cette population qui, d’après ses légendes, se donne pour origine l’apparition d’une langue nouvelle et d’un troupeau de bovins ; et ces deux genres poétiques illustrent deux types de relations possibles entre situation écologique et création littéraire.
Des pratiques professionnelles au fil de l’écriture
Authors: Strauss-Raffy Carmen 
Published: September 2021

Cet article rend compte d’une recherche sur l’écriture des pratiques professionnelles. Des enseignants spécialisés exerçant en réseau d’aides spécialisées aux élèves en difficulté (RASED) ont écrit durant deux années sur leur métier et ses soubassements, dans le cadre d’un atelier d’écriture mensuel où l’attention était portée sur la dimension littéraire. L’impact du travail d’écriture sur les pratiques de ces professionnels et sur leur rapport au métier y est étudié à partir de l’analyse d’entretiens effectués avec chaque participant à propos de cette expérience.Au détour, la notion d’« école intérieure » s’impose comme un des fondements du lien de l’enseignant à son métier.La pertinence d’un tel dispositif est questionnée dans la perspective de formations d’enseignants.
