Published: August 2021

AbstractBarium titanate (BTO) is a ferroelectric perovskite material used in energy storage applications because of its high dielectric constant. A previous study showed that the dielectric constant for BTO nanoparticles drastically increases to over 15,000 at a particle size of 70 nm. This result is highly contested, but its implications to energy storage motivated our investigation into the dielectric constants of BTO nanoparticles that are incorporated into a polymer matrix. We developed a novel method of using image processing techniques on transmission electron microscope images of BTO-polymer nanocomposites. Data on the positions, shapes, sizes, and orientations of BTO nanoparticles were used to build more realistic computational models that simulate the dielectric behavior of the nanocomposites. Here, we investigate the relationship between regions of enhanced electric field and the composite dielectric constant.

Published: August 2021

In the nursery, media composition plays an essential role in the growth and development of plant seedlings. Extract of Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) could be suitable for replacing organic manure and rice husk charcoal during the seedling phase. The purpose of this study is to examine the ability of Mexican sunflower extract to replace organic manure and rice husk charcoal as the source of nutrients for banana seedling. The study was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with seven treatments and three replications. Extract of Mexican sunflower promotes plant growth (plant height, number of leaves, and leaf area), improves plant biomass, and improves soil chemical properties (pH (H2O), C organic, and total N). Application twice a week of Mexican sunflower into soil medium resulted superior in plant height, the number of leaves, leaf area, and total biomass of banana seedlings compared to other treatments. Extract of Mexican sunflower could replace organic manure and rice husk charcoal as the nutrient source in banana seedlings. AbstrakPada saat pembibitan, komposisi media memiliki peranan penting terhadap pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bibit tanaman. Ekstrak bunga matahari Meksiko (Tithonia diversifolia) dapat menjadi pilihan yang cocok untuk menggantikan peran dari pupuk kandang dan sekam bakar pada fase pembibitan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari kemampuan dari ekstrak bunga matahari Meksiko untuk menggantikan peran pupuk kandang dan sekam bakar sebagai sumber nutrisi bagi bibit pisang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan tujuh perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Ekstrak bunga matahari Meksiko dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman (tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan luas daun), biomassa tanaman, dan property dari kimia tanah (pH (H2O), karbon organik dan total nitrogen). Aplikasi dari ekstrak bunga matahari Meksiko dua kali seminggu ke media tanah menghasilkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, luas daun dan total biomassa tanaman yang lebih baik dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak bunga matahari Meksiko dapat menggantikan peran dari pupuk kandang sapi dan sekam bakar sebagai sumber nutrisi bagi bibit pisang.

Objetivo: Avaliar o uso da suplementação de probióticos e prebióticos em crianças autistas. Fonte de dados: Foram identificados artigos nas bases de dados PubMed e SciELO. Para a localização dos estudos foram utilizados descritores em inglês cadastrados no Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Prebiotics. Probiotics. Autism Spectrum Disorder. Gut microbiota. Bifidobacterium. A busca limitou-se a artigos em inglês e compreendeu os anos de publicação entre 2015-2021. Síntese de dados: Um total de 6 ensaios clínicos realizados em crianças com autismo foram revisados sistematicamente. Com relação aos tipos de suplementações utilizadas foram 3 estudos que utilizaram probióticos, 2 que utilizaram prebióticos e probióticos e 1 que fez apenas o uso de prebióticos. Apesar da quantidade escassa de estudos, os mesmos tiveram resultados notáveis com relação à suplementação de probióticos e prebióticos em crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Em alguns estudos foi possível observar a melhora na gravidade do autismo e melhorias com relação ao comportamento antissocial, já em outros houve o aumento de bactérias benéficas e diminuição das patogênicas no trato gastrintestinal levando a melhora de sintomas gastrointestinais recorrentes. Conclusões: É perceptível que o uso de prébióticos e probióticos pode promover diversos benefícios para os portadores de autismo, porém são necessários estudos com um número maior de indivíduos e havendo padrões quanto aos regimes de intervenção.

Engagement of businesses is a critical component of Open Streets. This study sought to evaluate the Open Streets ICT. 2019 event’s impact on adjacent businesses.
METHODS. A 12-item novel survey was developed for this study. Businesses eligible for study participation included retail and non-retail (e.g. non-profits, churches) sites along the Open Streets ICT route in Wichita, Kansas. To understand how Open Streets ICT impacted businesses the survey used Likert scale questions to prompt respondents to report sales and visitors experienced during the event. Additionally, respondents reported a percent difference in sales compared to a typical Sunday. Themes and subthemes were coded from recurring opinions.
RESULTS. A total of 102 surveys were completed, a 42% response rate. Most businesses (56%, n=56) reported being open during Open Streets ICT. Many businesses (72%) reported having “more” visitors compared to a typical Sunday. More than half reported they experienced new and regular visitors (54%, n=30) from the event. Most businesses (64%, n=36) reported a positive financial impact, and (52%, n=29) having more sales than a typical Sunday.
CONCLUSIONS. Open Streets ICT increased sales and the number of visitors among businesses. Respondents reported they plan to participate in the 2020 Open Streets ICT, and if Open Streets ICT was offered twice a year. Finally, most participating businesses reported they recommend that other businesses participate in Open Streets ICT.

The post-treatment data revealed the clinical improvement in both outcomes. CONCLUSION/CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This case report demonstrates the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and bio-stimulative healing effects of Class IV laser therapy treatment showing a reduction in the dimensions and severity of pressure ulcers.
Los intelectuales y las masas
Authors: Zapata Yepes Rubén Darío 
Published: August 2021

En sus famosas tesis sobre Feuerbach, escritas en 1845, Marx asienta las bases de un compromiso revolucionario de la filosofía: no debe reducirse más a interpretar de diversas maneras el mundo sino desvelar las claves para su transformación. Dicha transformación, sin embargo, no es obra de los intelectuales sino de las masas organizadas. Desde entonces, al menos en la corriente marxista, se ha establecido una relación compleja entre los intelectuales y las masas que ha ido de la admiración de los últimos por la fuerza revolucionaria que encarnan las masas hasta un desprecio elitista por su bajo nivel intelectual y moral. Este artículo intenta dar cuenta de la forma como dicha relación se ha transformado históricamente desde el momento en que Marx les propuso a los filósofos una articulación consciente con las masas en su ejercicio revolucionario, que tenía que ver precisamente con la formación de la conciencia y su disposición para la lucha organizada.

Published: August 2021

El artículo analiza el arte dramático: talleres, juego dramático, drama creativo, dramatización, improvisación y el teatro mismo, como terapia alternativa para contrarrestar problemáticas psicosociales en sujetos vulnerables y excluidos. Para llevar a cabo este propósito, se utilizó un diseño cualitativo, a través de una perspectiva de tipo documental, que se centró en las categorías arte dramático, y poblaciones vulnerables y excluidas. Se presentan los hallazgos de las relaciones sobre estos conceptos, luego de revisar y analizar las bases de datos Apa Psyc Net, Cambrige J, DOAJ, JSTOR, SCIELO, Science Direct, EBSCO, Wilson, Web of Science, entre otras fuentes. En esta perspectiva, a partir de un trabajo llevado a cabo en un horizonte crítico-interpretativo, se revisaron las producciones realizadas por investigadores usando los instrumentos de matriz bibliográfica y matriz analítica de contenido. Como resultado, se reconoció el arte dramático como herramienta para ayudar a población vulnerable y se identificaron diferentes metodologías y resultados de las investigaciones en las que se utilizó el arte dramático para disminuir las exclusiones. Se concluye que el arte dramático, a partir de la atención al lenguaje corporal, al pensamiento, a la obra teatral, a los cambios que el sujeto tiene en la representación de personajes, entre otros, acrecienta el ingenio y la comunicación, y posibilita un desarrollo estético y plástico. Este tipo de modificaciones aportan a mejorar el nivel biopsicosocial de la población vulnerable y excluida, a reconfigurar su personalidad e historias personales, desarrollar habilidades sociales, mejorar su comunicación, darles herramientas para resolver problemas, a gestionar sus emociones y a potenciar su autoestima; estas capacidades y desarrollos humanos, son sustanciales para contrarrestar las problemáticas psicosociales que acarrean su situación de fragilidad y marginación.
Reseña: “El poder de los impotentes. Representaciones de los educadores sobre el castigo físico infligido a los niños”

Published: August 2021

El texto es una reseña al libro El poder de los impotentes. Representaciones de los educadores sobre el castigo fíco. En este libro, resultado de su tesis doctoral hace un llamado a quienes tenemos en nuestras manos la formación de las nuevas generaciones; a quienes velan por el cumplimiento de los derechos de los niños y a quienes legislan para que cuiden las maneras de nombrar porque no es lo mismo que en las leyes colombianas aparezca de manera explícita la prohibición de cualquier forma de castigo físico a los niños, que decir “sanción moderada”. Es una invitación para que los educadores puedan vérselas con los límites propios de la educación, sin recurrir al castigo físico y puedan inventar otras formas de relación, de educación distintas al golpe.

Introduction. The natural course of some interstitial lung diseases (ILD) is characterized by progressive fibrosing phenotype resembling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Until recently, the antifibrotic drug nintedanib was approved for treatment of the only fibrosing ILD which was IPF. A new indication for this drug which has been registered in Russian Federation in 2021 includes other fibrosing ILDs with progressive phenotype (PF-ILDs) and ILD associated with systemic scleroderma (SS-ILD).The aim of this publication is to describe general considerations of the decision of Multidisciplinary Expert Board on diagnosis and treatment of PF-ILDs including SS-ILD.Results. According to the extension in nintedanib use mentioned above, the Expert Board created an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of patients with PF-ILDs and criteria for nuntedanib administration in PF-ILDs.Conclusion. Antifibrotic therapy is needed for patients with PF-ILDs with the failure of the stanrard therapy. In those patients antifibrotic treatment should be initiated as early as possible to better preserve the lung function.

It is believed that doctor-patient relationship is an important determinant in patient’s adherence to the treatment. The doctor-patient relationship can be seen as the perception of the patient concerning shown by the doctor, and the attitude and behaviour of the doctor towards the patient. For management of chronic illness where patient adherence to treatment is challenging, good doctor patient communication is very essential. This study was planned to assess the doctor patient communication status, effectiveness and patient satisfaction resulting after consultation with the doctor in a tertiary care setting.This study aims to assess the doctor-patient communication status, patient satisfaction level and identify the factors affecting the communication with the patients. This was a cross-sectional questionnaire based analytical study. The questionnaire mainly included various questions to assess the patient satisfaction in terms of time spent by doctor during visit, examination performed, discussion on treatment plan, medication dosage and side effects explained, response to patient questions and concern and overall satisfaction of the site visit. The study population included patients of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) and bronchial asthma attending the outpatient departments of Medicine and Respiratory Medicine of a tertiary care hospital. Total 70 patients had filled the questionnaire and all of them were satisfied with their visit with attending physician in OPD. Age, education level and income class affect the satisfaction score of participants.Overall the study showed a good level of satisfaction of patients with services obtained from this tertiary care centre. Physician can improve the doctor-patient communication by empathising with the patients and rendering them sufficient time to explain the treatment regimens.

Authors: Uçar Özge 
Published: August 2021

Background: This study was conducted in 2016-2017 to determine the effects of Mesorhizobium ciceri inoculation and different doses of vermicompost applications on the yield components and yield of chickpea under semi-arid Mediterranean highland condition of Turkey. Methods: Mesorhizobium ciceri inoculant were applied to seeds (at 108 cfu bacteria per seed dose) as microbial fertilizer in the experiments. Vermicompost doses were 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 kg ha-1. The trials were set up with three replications according to the randomized complete blocks design. Conclusion: Plant height, first pod height, pod number per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100 grain weight and grain yield were determined as 56.1-61.9 cm, 29.4-34.9 cm, 31.4-46.3 pods plant-1, 32.9-44.0 seed plant-1, 30.4-37.4 g and 1463-2072 kg ha-1, respectively. Co-application of 1000 kg ha-1 vermicompost with Mesorhizobium ciceri inoculation produced the highest values for all examined parameters for both years. Further applications of vermicompost reduced yield and related components. Control parcels and excess vermicompost applications (2000 and 3000 kg ha-1) produced lowest values. Mesorhizobium ciceri inoculation produced medium values between Co-application of 1000 kg ha-1 vermicompost with Mesorhizobium ciceri and control and excess vermicompost applied conditions. In conclusion, use of Mesorhizobium ciceri + 1000 kg ha-1 vermicompost was recommended in chickpea cultivation for maximum yield in the ecological conditions of Siirt province of Turkey or in similar ecologies.
