Intracranial volume versus static and pulsatile intracranial pressure values in children with craniosynostosis
Authors: Langvatn Erlend Aambø , Frič Radek , Due-Tønnessen Bernt J. , Eide Per Kristian 
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVEReduced intracranial volume (ICV) and raised intracranial pressure (ICP) are assumed to be principal pathophysiological mechanisms in childhood craniosynostosis. This study examined the association between ICV and ICP and whether ICV can be used to estimate the ICP.METHODSThe authors analyzed ICV and ICP measurements from children with craniosynostosis without concurrent hydrocephalus and from age-matched individuals without craniosynostosis who underwent diagnostic ICP measurement.RESULTSThe study included 19 children with craniosynostosis (mean age 2.2 ± 1.9 years) and 12 reference individuals without craniosynostosis (mean age 2.5 ± 1.6 years). There was no difference in ICV between the patient and reference cohorts. Both mean ICP (17.1 ± 5.6 mm Hg) and mean wave amplitude (5.9 ± 2.6 mm Hg) were higher in the patient cohort. The results disclosed no significant association between ICV and ICP values in the patient or reference cohorts, and no association was seen between change in ICV and ICP values after cranial vault expansion surgery (CVES) in 5 children in whom ICV and ICP were measured before and after CVES.CONCLUSIONSIn this cohort of children with craniosynostosis, there was no significant association between ICV and ICP values prior to CVES and no significant association between change in ICV and ICP values after CVES in a subset of patients. Therefore, ICV could not reliably estimate the ICP values. The authors suggest that intracranial hypertension in childhood craniosynostosis may not be caused by reduced ICV alone but rather by a distorted relationship between ICV and the volume of intracranial content (brain tissue, CSF, and blood).

OBJECTIVEWhile long-term studies have evaluated adjacent-segment disease (ASD) following posterior lumbar spine arthrodesis, no such studies have assessed the incidence and prevalence of ASD following axial lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF). The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of ASD following AxiaLIF.METHODSThe authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 149 patients who underwent two-level index AxiaLIF and had at least 2 years of radiographic and clinical follow-up. ASD and pre- and postoperative lumbar lordosis were evaluated in each patient. ASD was defined as both radiographic and clinically significant disease at a level adjacent to a previous fusion requiring surgical intervention. The mean duration of follow-up was 6.01 years.RESULTSTwenty (13.4%) of the 149 patients developed ASD during the data collection period. Kaplan-Meier analysis predicted a disease-free ASD survival rate of 95.3% (95% CI 90.4%–97.7%) at 2 years and 89.1% (95% CI 82.8%–93.2%) at 5 years for two-level fusion. A laminectomy adjacent to a fusion site was associated with 5.1 times the relative risk of developing ASD. Furthermore, the ASD group had significantly greater loss of lordosis than the no-ASD group (p = 0.033).CONCLUSIONSFollowing two-level AxiaLIF, the rate of symptomatic ASD warranting either decompression or arthrodesis was found to be 4.7% at 2 years and 10.9% at 5 years. Adjacent-segment decompression and postoperative loss of lumbar lordosis predicted future development of ASD. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the largest reported cohort of patients to undergo two-level AxiaLIF in the United States.

Published: April 2019

Penelitian tentang baja ringan sudah sangat meningkat untuk menentukan analisis dan desain yang tepat. Salah satu peraturan di Indonesia tentang desain struktur baja canai dingin atau ringan adalah SNI 7971: 2013. Namun, ada hal yang menjadi fokus perhatian pada baja ringan saat didesain pada elemen tekan. Salah satu tekuk yang terjadi pada elemen tekan baja ringan yaitu tekuk lokal yang disebabkan oleh faktor geometri atau penampang. Setiap penampang baja ringan memberikan bentuk tekuk yang berbeda-beda. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan studi eksperimental tentang perilaku tekan pada beberapa bentuk profil baja ringan kanal C baik tunggal dan simetris ganda, seperti double channel box dan double channel back to back. Uji tekan akan dilakukan dengan universal testing machine dengan jumlah benda uji sebanyak 3 sampel, 1 sampel untuk masing-masing penampang, sebagai kolom pendek. Hasil pengujian ini adalah berupa kurva beban versus perpendekan yang akan dibandingkan dengan hasil analitik berdasarkan peraturan SNI 7971:2013. Selain itu, propagasi tekuk lokal yang terjadi di masing-masing penampang juga diamati. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian tersebut didapatkan penampang double channel box memiliki nilai beban ultimit dan kekakuan yang signifikan dibandingkan double channel back to back dan single channel. Selanjutnya, perhitungan kapasitas tekan berdasarkan SNI 7971:2013 sangat konservatif.

Sexuality as a phenomenon of (social) being of a person and subject of educational discourse
Authors: Kaluha Volodymyr 
Published: April 2019

The phenomenon of sexuality is the cornerstone of being of a person, which by nature manifests itself socially. At the same time, currently sexuality is a stumbling block and a Sisyphean stone to "push" throughout human existence. The afore-mentioned place and role of sexuality in human being are directly related to the peculiarities of the outlook of a civilized man and modern culture in general. In other words, the peculiarity of the worldview and the arrangement of the cultural space of a civilized man is largely a cause of transformation of sexuality, as an attribute of human existence, into a dominant source of internal stress, mental disorders, various deviations, and ontological confusion and alienation in general.
As a result, an impartial understanding of nature of the phenomenon of sexuality and its functional essence in human existence definitely facilitates its emancipation, especially in the context of upbringing of the younger generation. An appeal to critical thinking contributes for critical elimination of the bias, which, among other aspects, establishes a fact that the cognitive abilities of a person are limited. The latter means that everything what is widely recognized is, in fact, only a generally accepted paradigm, including the alleged scientifically substantiated interpretation of the manifestations of sexuality associated with the sexual sphere of norms and rules, as well as basic ideological settings, and by no means a combination of truths. An integral and adequate representation of the phenomenon of sexuality can be formed on the basis of the analysis of relevant informational achievements in the field of science and philosophy, philosophical art, esoteric experience, etc.
Therefore, firstly, the article is aimed at comprehension of key stereotypes and dogmas, which are widespread in both public and scientific or expert opinions. Secondly, the article thoroughly discloses a number of features and attributes of the phenomenon of sexuality, taking into account the experience acquired through the mediation of the world mythology and esoteric experience in the form of the so-called philosophical art. Thirdly, the situational analysis of a person is contextualized through one’s sexual nature. Consequently, the article focuses on issues of sexual education and ‘enlightenment’ of a person depending on a variety of age and social positions, as well as the community as a whole.
The introduction of the relevant research activity of the author of the article has been instigated by the obvious lack of scientific substantive studies on the nature of the phenomenon of sexuality and its functional aspect on the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, the Ukrainian community needs significant educational influence on issues of self-realization of citizens, in particular in the sexual and private spheres.
The Provocative Philosophy of Education: Fata Morgana of Universalism and Temptation of Singularities (K. P. Liessmann, R. D. Precht, A. Reckwitz)
Authors: Kultaieva Maria 
Published: April 2019

Some polemic versions of the contemporary philosophy of education are regarded which lend it the character of the provocatively through setting accents on the intern paradoxes of changes designed of the educational modernization and formed under the pressure of globalization. The contextual conditions of the postindustrial transformations in the educational system are explicated which were structured by the influences of the industrial imperatives. The theoretical explorations of K.P. Liessmann, R.D. Precht and A. Reckwitz were chosen to show the structure and the content of changes in education including the consequences of the educational globalization. The tendency to refuse the European educational priorities is critically analyzed. There is the negative way to state the logic of the industrialism as the logic of the universality preserving postmodern singularity of the educational institutions what makes evident the ambivalence of the knowledge society. Some attempts are explicated, which try to give rehabilitation for the “useless knowledge” in the curriculum options what is connected with getting back the ideal of the cultivated man and with actualizing the hidden senses of conservatism (Liessmann) or pseudo-revolutionary appeals (Precht). The provocative philosophy of education in its different representations might be regarded as a special mode for activation of the theoretical critical thinking with the purpose for early detecting of risks, cultural and pedagogical pathologies appearing through postindustrial shifts in the culture, which can provoke some symptoms of the re-feudalization in the academically communities. It is concentrated not only on the positive side of the educational transformations, but else on their negative effects, loading of social and psychological traumas, and proposes different variants answering on the claims of the contemporary education aiming their additionally verification. The intrinsic contradictoriness of this kind of philosophy can be acceptable as a articulating of its openness, connected with its principle infinitely, and might be regarded as productive strategy of communication in the discourse devoted to the perspective of the development of education in the uncertain postindustrial conditions.
Philosophy and Teachers
Authors: Adorno Theodor W. 
Published: April 2019

Teodor Adorno's work Philosophy and Teachers was first read as a report at the Frankfurt Studenthome in November 1961. In this report Adorno continued the topic of criticism of those factors of the then formation of West Germany, which made impossible a personal fight intellectual to with the cultural remnants of a totalitarian society. Adorno drew attention an exam in philosophy, important element of the educational process. This exam should pass composed of future teachers, candidates for the work of the teacher of gymnasium. This exam should be composed by future teachers, candidates for the work of the teacher of gymnasium. Adorno noticed the tendency of formalistic adherence to the Rules of Examination by some future teachers who are unable to understand the humanistic, emancipatory and spiritual essence of philosophy, and therefore do not understand the purpose of conducting this exam. Adorno honored the long tradition of academic freedom of the German University and noticed the figure of the German philosopher, describing him as the man whose intellectual activity influenced the humanization of the German University, which directly influenced to the corresponding cultural transformations. But in post-war universities in the Federal Republic of Germany there is a trend to the principles of scientific knowledge. This tendency is coupled with the attitude of some future teachers to knowledge as appropriation to the consumer way, was due to the absence of personal love for their own specialty and to their students. Adorno was convinced that such teachers are indifferent to their specialty and do not have a calling to him. Adorno defined as a sign to the absence of calling in these people is intellectual negligence, provincial speech and provincial inability to understand human freedom as a spiritual value. Such teachers are incapable of offering new knowledge to their students by way of perfekt speech and by way of perfekt written presentation. As completely different Adorno offered to see a person who is capable to appropriation of the knowledge that is needed to understand hemseif and his professional obligation. This person can will use self-understand and self-reflection, and therefore she can will independently to understand of the sense of their pedagogical work. This person will be faithful and patient in carrying out his work for the practical introduction of humanistic ideals of prior philosophical knowledge into society.
