The program Ethnomathematics: Cognitive, anthropological, historic and socio-cultural bases
Authors: D' Ambrosio Ubiratan 
Published: December 2021

We discuss the concept of knowledge and the cognitive process backing the evolution of knowledge in the human species. This leads to a reflection about the meaning peace. In simple terms, peace is the capability of dealing with conflicts [which are unavoidable as a result of individual differences] without the resource to arrogance and to bigotry, which culminates in aggression and violent confrontation. A road to peace is the reformulation of education. A proposal of a new concept of curriculum is presented and there is a brief discussion of the Program Ethnomathematics as the realization of the proposal.El programa Etnomatemáticas: bases cognitivas, antropológicas, históricas y socioculturalesDiscutimos el concepto de conocimiento y el proceso cognitivo de soporte a la evolución del conocimiento en la especie humana.

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de la implementación de la Guía de Valoración de la Idoneidad Didáctica de procesos de Instrucción programados sobre Didáctica de la Estadística (GVID-IDE) en cuatro programas de asignaturas sobre didáctica o enseñanza de la estadística para profesores de matemática chilenos. Siguiendo una metodología cualitativa, y mediante un análisis de contenido, se identificó la presencia o ausencia de cada uno de los indicadores que conforman la GVID-IDE, en el marco de la Teoría de Idoneidad Didáctica. Se concluye que los programas tienen un grado de idoneidad alto para las facetas afectiva, interaccional y mediacional, pero solo alcanzan un grado medio en las facetas epistémica, cognitiva y ecológica.Didactical Suitability of Planned Training Processes on Statistical EducationIn this work, we present the results of the implementation of the Assessment Guide of Didactic Suitability of planned Instructional processes about Educational Statistics (AGDS-IES) in four Chilean training programs of teaching statistics for mathematics teachers. Following a qualitative methodology and through a content analysis, the presence or absence of each of the indicators that compose the AGDS-IES was identified, within the framework of the Didactic Suitability Theory. It is concluded that the programs have a high degree of suitability for the affective, interactional and mediational facets, but only with a medium degree in the epistemic, cognitive and ecological facets.doi: 10.30827/pna.v14i2.8897
Method of multiscale coincidence of pulses for measuring temporary loads from moving vehicles in bridges and overpasses
Authors: Levterov Andrey 
Published: December 2021

Modern development of road transport is characterized by constant updating of the nomenclature of cars (including heavy-duty vehicles), by increasing of intensity and speed of their movement, especially in large metropolises and on roads of national and local significance. This complicates the operating conditions of spans of highway bridges to some extent, leads to their damage and early wear. The deterioration of the technical condition of the structures of the spans is largely due to the increased dynamic impact of the cars on the bridges. The purpose of this article is to measure the amplitude of oscillations of a bridge structure from temporary loads of rolling stock with non-periodic long-term loading by optical methods. In accordance with this goal, it is necessary to develop a technique and device for measuring the amplitude of oscillations of the bridge structure by converting the amplitude of oscillations in time intervals and their subsequent measurement by multi-scale pulse coincidence. In a number of works, digital deployment systems that use number systems with different bases, represented by a family of deployment functions, are considered in detail.
Such digital systems in general, are described by the corresponding operating scheme. According to this operating scheme, a method of multiscale matching for measuring time intervals was developed, which formed the basis for measuring the vibration amplitude of the bridge structure. The given mathematical model of calculation of the number of measurement channels was used in the synthesis of velocity transducers and linear displacements based on optical (laser) deployment systems, information conversion devices of radar velocity sensors based on the Doppler effect. Similarly, a frequency comparison device, a digital frequency meter, a digital phase meter, and a number of other frequency-time group devices were synthesized.

Objective — to compare the epidemiological situation of chemoresistant tuberculosis in Germany and Ukraine, in addition analyzing the nature and features of chemoresistant tuberculosis in 192 patients treated at the Ternopil Regional TB Dispensary Ukraine during 2017—2018.
Materials and methods. In order to study the comparative characteristics of the epidemiological situation with chemoresistant tuberculosis in Germany and Ukraine, modern literature sources were used with the search query «epidemiological situation with chemoresistant tuberculosis in Germany», «epidemiological situation with chemoresistant tuberculosis in Ukraine». Separatelly a retrospective cohort study was conducted. The nature and features of the course of chemoresistant tuberculosis in 192 patients who were treated in the Ternopil Regional TB Dispensary during 2017—2018 were analyzed.
Results and discussion. Analysis of literature sources showed that multidrug resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is relatively seldom in Germany with around 100 cases annually. Overall, the epidemiological situation of MDR-TB has been stable since the beginning of the statistical recording of the disease in 2002. In 2013, the highest proportion of MDR TB was registered at 3.3 %. Detailed analysis of notifi cation data shows that the tuberculosis situation in Germany is mainly influenced by migratory movements and demographic changes in the population. Despite the positive overall epidemiological trend with decreasing incidence rates, however, the burden of TB in Ukraine remains significant. According to the latest WHO estimates for 2018, TB incidence in the country(new cases and relapses) is the 4th highest among 53 countries of the WHO European Region.To address the situation, reduce TB prevalence, scale up TB early detection and diagnosis, and ensure effective treatment, Ukraine adopted, in 2019, the 2020–2023 State Strategy for Development of Anti-Tuberculosis Care for the Population.The analysis performed of 192 patients of the MDR/XDR-TB Cohort from the TB-Dispensary Hospital in Ternopil (Ukraine) from 2017—2018, showed that the resistanse of mycobacteria to anti-TB drugs was dominated by cases of MDR-TB — 57.3 %. Among patients first diagnosed were 52.6 %, relapses were 46.4 %. Destruction in the lungs was detected in 71.9 %. 111 patients (57.8 %) had treatment success, and 81 (42.2 %) had poor treatment outcomes or were lost to follow-up.
Conclusions. The epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in Germany is stable and improving. Despite the positive overall epidemiological trend, the burden of TB in Ukraine remains significant. In 2018, TB incidence in the country (new cases and relapses) was 80 per 100 thousands population. In Ukraine during the period (2015—2018), the proportion of «pre-XDR» and XDR cases increased from 47.4 to 51.3 %. Among patients with chemoresistant tuberculosis, MR TB predominates (57.3 %), with destruction in the lungs and only 57.8% are effectively treated.

Objective — to examine the tendencies of the epidemiological situation on tuberculosis in Ukraine at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Materials and methods. The analysis of the data of official statistics in 2015—2020, a survey of 157 medical experts and a telephone questionnaire survey of 69 residents of the Volyn region.
Results and discussion. It was established that the disease of COVID-19 has found its imprint on the epidemiological situation of tuberculosis and on the functioning of the TB care service. In 2020, the rate of decline in the incidence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis was significantly more intensive than in previous years. However, the incidence of tuberculosis among contacts with bacterial excretion in tuberculosis foci increased 1.85 times in each year. The frequency of tuberculosis recurrences is steadily decreasing.The prevalence and mortality from all forms of active tuberculosis among the entire population of Ukraine has a tendency similar to a decrease in morbidity.The effectiveness of treatment of patients of all categories is proportional to the severity of the tuberculosis process, but still insufficient. Mortality in TB care institutions increased in the previous year against the decrease of this indicator in previous years. Against the background of the inaccessibility of the population to TB care, day hospitals are underused, and the sanatorium network needs to be reorganized. The surgical method of treatment of patients is extremely insufficiently realized.
Conclusions. The dispensary contingent of TB care institutions is decreasing every year. There is a reduction in the infrastructure of the TB care service, and in each year, the largest reduction was in the bed stock of TB care institutions and sanatoriums, as well as a decrease in the number of TB doctors.

Kitle iletişim araçları temel olarak halkı bilgilendirmek, eğlendirmek, değer ve inançları pekiştirmek gibi işlevlere sahiptir. Medya, topluma bilgi aktarırken etik ilkeleri gözetmeli; doğru, açık, güvenilir ve şeffaf olmalıdır. Medyada yer alan bazı konuların; özellikle intihar, cinayet, tecavüz, doğal felaketler ve toplumsal olaylar gibi haberlerin daha hassas bir şekilde işlenmesi gerekmektedir. İnternetle birlikte bu haberlerin daha hızlı, daha etkin ve daha yaygın biçimde dolaşıma sokulması etik kodların önemini arttırmıştır.
Bu çalışma, intihar haberlerinin sunumundaki haber dili ve söylem pratiklerinde, etik sorunları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, intihar haberleriyle ilgili belirlenen etik standartlar açıklanmış, Türkiye’de yaşanan siyanüre bağlı intihar vakalarını medyanın ele alış biçimi incelenmiştir. Eleştirel söylem analizi yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışma, 5 Şubat 2018 – 5 Şubat 2020 tarihleri aralığında, siyanüre bağlı intihar vakalarının daha fazla yaşandığı zaman aralığını kapsamaktadır. Araştırmada Hürriyet, Türkiye ve Sözcü gazetelerinin internet sitelerinde yer alan siyanüre bağlı intihar haberleri incelenmiştir. Farklı sahiplik yapısı ve yayın politikasına sahip üç gazetenin bu haberleri kendi ideolojik bakışları çerçevesinde haberleştirdiği belirlenmiştir. Yine analiz sonucunda üç gazetenin de siyanürle intihar vakalarını etik ilkeleri gözetmeden haberleştirdiği ortaya çıkmış, bu durumun toplumsal sorun teşkil edebileceği vurgulanmıştır.

Morphometric analysis of the structures of the aortic bulb and coronary arteries is necessary for the planning of cardiac surgery and endovascular interventions. The aim of the study was to determine the height of the coronary arteries branching in healthy women of Lviv city and Lviv region and to determine the relationship between the height of the location of the orifice of the coronary artery with anthropometric indicators. Fifteen computed tomography images with contrast of female thorax without heart and ascending aortic lesions (normal) were selected for the study. The height of the upper and lower edges of the coronary arteries was measured; height of Valsalva sinuses. The comparison of the mean values was performed according to the Student’s t-test. The correlation between the observed variables (age, height, body weight, body mass index, body surface area, height of the sinuses of Valsalva) was calculated using the Pearson linear correlation method (r). According to the study, the population group consisted of persons of the second period of adulthood (46.67 %) and the elderly (53.33 %). According to the body mass index, 80 % were overweight or obese I-II degree. The mean height of the coronary artery orifice in women without structural changes of the heart and ascending aorta was: 11.19±1.96 mm for the left and 11.68±1.80 mm for the right. The height of the orifice of the right and left coronary arteries were almost the same, without statistical significance (p=0.26). Analysis of the correlation between the values of the height of the orifice of the coronary artery did not show a probable dependence on height, weight, age, body mass index and body surface area. There is a direct relationship between the parameters of the height of the lower edge of the right coronary artery and the height of the upper edge of the right coronary artery (r=+0.75, p=0.001) and between the value of the lower edge of the left coronary artery and the upper edge of the left coronary artery (r=+0.63, p=0.01). Thus, the analysis of the correlation between the values of the height of the orifice of the coronary artery in women in norm and anthropometric indicators did not show a significant relationship. There was no statistical significance between the indicators of the height of the orifice of the right and left coronary arteries in women.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the lumbar sagittal profile on pelvic orientation and pelvic motion during postural changes in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and thoracolumbar kyphosis and to evaluate the potential risk of prosthetic dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) following pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO).

METHODS
Seventy-two patients with AS-related thoracolumbar kyphosis following spinal osteotomy were retrospectively reviewed, and 21 healthy volunteers were recruited as a control group. Pre- and postoperative 2D full-body images in standing and sitting positions were obtained to evaluate the anterior pelvic plane angle (APPA), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), proximal femur angle (PFA), and femoroacetabular flexion during postural changes. Patients with AS were categorized in either a lordotic or kyphotic group based on the lumbar sagittal profile.

RESULTS
Significant increases in the SS and decreases in the APPA, PT, and LL were observed postoperatively in both the standing and sitting positions (p < 0.001 for all). Significantly higher APPA, PT, LL, and ΔPT, and lower SS, ΔSS, and ΔSS+ΔPFA were observed in the kyphotic group (p < 0.05). After undergoing PSO, ΔPT and ΔSS significantly decreased while femoroacetabular flexion significantly increased in both AS groups (p < 0.05), and no significant difference was present between the two groups (p > 0.05). Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Hip Index scores in the kyphotic group were significantly worse than those in the lordotic group pre- and postoperatively (p < 0.05). No significant difference in parameters concerning pelvic motion (ΔAPPA, ΔPT, and ΔSS) was found when PSO was performed in the thoracolumbar or lumbar spine.

CONCLUSIONS
Lumbar sagittal profiles greatly affect pelvic orientation and pelvic motion in AS. When THA is performed before PSO, AS patients with lumbar kyphosis are at higher risk of anterior prosthetic dislocation, while those with lordotic lumbar sagittal profiles are at higher risk of posterior dislocation. PSO should be performed prior to THA. After PSO, further decreased pelvic motion indicated a potential risk of posterior prosthetic dislocation after sequential THA, whereas theoretically patients with preoperative lumbar kyphosis are at higher risk of THA dislocation. The site where PSO was performed (thoracolumbar or lumbar spine) does not influence the risk of THA dislocation.
Hydrocephalus in achondroplasia: efficacy of endoscopic third ventriculostomy
Authors: Kim Jun , Patel Vishal J. , El Ahmadieh Tarek Y. , Olson DaiWai M. , Swift Dale M. 
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE
Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) for hydrocephalus in patients with achondroplasia are known to have a higher failure rate than in other hydrocephalus populations. However, the etiology of hydrocephalus in this group is considered “communicating,” and, therefore, potentially not amenable to endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). ETV has, nonetheless, been reported to be successful in a small number of patients with achondroplasia. The authors aimed to investigate the long-term results of ETV in this population.

METHODS
Patients with achondroplasia who had undergone surgical treatment for hydrocephalus (ETV or VPS placement) were identified. In patients who had undergone ETV, medical records and neuroimages were reviewed to determine ventricular volumes and frontal and occipital horn ratios (FOHRs) pre- and postoperatively, as well as the incidence of surgical complications and reoperation. Patients who underwent VPS placement were included for historical comparison, and their medical records were reviewed for basic demographic information as well as the incidence of surgical complications and reoperation.

RESULTS
Of 114 pediatric patients with achondroplasia referred for neurosurgical consultation, 19 (17%) were treated for hydrocephalus; 10 patients underwent ETV only, 7 patients underwent VPS placement only, and 2 patients had a VPS placed followed by ETV. In patients treated with ETV, ventricular volume and FOHRs were normal, if measured at birth, and increased significantly until the time of the ETV. After ETV, all patients demonstrated significant and sustained decreases in ventricular measurements with surveillance up to 15 years. There was a statistically significant difference in rates of repeat CSF surgery between the ETV and VPS cohorts (0/12 vs 7/9, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
ETV was efficacious, safe, and durable in the treatment of hydrocephalus in patients with achondroplasia. Although many studies have indicated that hydrocephalus in these patients is “communicating,” a subset may develop an “obstructive” component that is progressive and responsive to ETV.
