Abstract

Introduction. More than 50% of glomerular crescent formation is required for a diagnosis of crescentic glomerulonephritis in a kidney biopsy. Although treatment protocols have been established for diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, there is no standard treatment for patients with fewer crescents in renal biopsies. In this study the importance of crescent percentage and clinical features on renal survival independent of underlying disease was investigated.

Methods. This retrospective observational study was conducted between 2013 and 2017. Forty-nine patients with crescent formation in their kidney biopsies were evaluated. We compared clinicopathological features and renal survival. We evaluated the factors affecting the course of end stage renal disease (ESRD).

Results. A total of 49 patients (57% male and median age 49 years) were enrolled in this study. 39% of patients developed ESRD at follow-up. Logistic regression analysis showed that the requirement for renal replacement treatment on admission (p < 0.001), serum creatinine level above 2.7 mg/dL (p < 0.001), the presence of more than 50% glomerulosclerosis (p = 0.04) and more than 34% crescent formation (p = 0.002) were significantly associated with ESRD. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with less than 34% crescent in kidney biopsy and a serum creatinine level less than 2.7 mg/dL had increased kidney survival (log-rank test p: 0.01 and p: 0.002).

Conclusion. Patients with crescent formation in kidney biopsy more than 34% should be evaluated for more aggressive treatment modalities regardless of the underlying disease, especially if the serum creatinine level is above 2.7 mg/dL.

Abstract
69 road sections with amphibian mortality known from 2006 in Lviv Region (Western Ukraine) were repeatedly surveyed in 2017. 2078 dead individuals of nine amphibian species were detected and identified on the road surface (Triturus cristatus, Bombina bombina, Pelobates fuscus, Bufo bufo, Hyla orientalis, Rana temporaria, Rana arvalis, Pelophylax ridibundus and Pelophylax esculentus). The most numerous victims appeared to be B. bufo (72.8 %) and R. temporaria (22.6 %) which is almost the same as in 2006 (90.5 % together). However, the qualitative and quantitative composition has decreased in a decade (compare 3555 individuals of 13 amphibian species in 2006). As we suppose, the main reasons for amphibian population decline in the region are contamination, degradation and disappearance of the breeding ponds as well as the increased traffic intensity. According to the estimation of our research four B. bufo populations are under the excessive influence of roads and transportation, and need to be protected. One of these road sections was fenced up by temporary amphibian fences during the breeding migration (April 2018). Amphibian mortality on the fenced road section dropped down instantly: over thousand individuals of B. bufo and R. temporaria were caught alive into the bucket-traps and safely moved across the road.

Published: May 2019

Bu
yazıda Avrupa merkezci ideolojisi karşısında alternatif olarak ortaya çıkan geliştirilen “yerli sosyoloji” söylemleri ve
günümüzde yerli sosyoloji iddialarının mevcut durumu hakkında değerlendirmelerde
bulunacağız. Makale ağırlıklı olarak Batı sosyolojisinin Avrupa merkezci
yapısına karşı almış olduğu eleştiriler ve bu eleştiriler odağında gelişim
gösteren yerli sosyolojinin gelecekteki toplumsal gerekliliği üzerine yapılan değerlendirmelerle
sınırlıdır. Bu değerlendirmeler incelenirken öncelikli gayemiz şu sorular üzerine
inşa edilmiştir: Avrupa merkezci bir paradigmayla şekillenen 19. Yüzyıl
sosyolojisi bugün için bu iddialarını büyük ölçüde yitirmiştir. Böyle iken “Tekelciliğin
anlam kaybına uğradığı çoğulcu ve girift bir dünyada “yerli sosyoloji anlayışı
bugünkü sorunlarımıza hâlâ cevap verebilecek midir?” Çalışmada bu sorular
ekseriyetle “yerli sosyolojinin gerekliliği”nin belli koşulların ürünü olduğu çerçevesinde
ele alınmıştır. Bu hususta ağırlıklı olarak Baykan Sezer ve Korkut Tuna’nın
“yerli sosyoloji” konusuna ilişkin yaklaşımları ve kendi toplumsal çıkarlarımız
açısından sosyolojiye getirdiği perspektifler esas alınmıştır. Makalenin sonunda ise post modern dönüşüm ve
çoğullaşma çağının getirdiği değişmeler ile yerlilik iddialarının artık sosyal
teorinin içinde kendine ait bir yere sahip olması nedeniyle fazlaca bir
öneminin kalmadığı vurgulanmaktadır.

Authors: Assonov Dmytro 
Published: May 2019

The aim of this review was to summarize the information about the specific weight and the clinical significance of cognitive impairment in the course and prognosis of major chronic noncommunicable diseases.
Materials and methods. Scientific literature from 2013 to 2018 on the cognitive impairment in patients with noncommunicable diseases was analyzed. Publications from previous years were taken into account in the absence of new research in this area or if conclusions have not lost relevance. Under the cognitive impairment dementia or mild cognitive impairment were understood.
Results Cognitive impairment is common for chronic cardiovascular diseases, both central nervous system and non-central nervous system cancer, chronic lung diseases, diabetes, and presented mostly from mild to moderate form. It can be caused by pathophysiological changes related to the underlying disease (in all diseases reviewed) or its treatment (in the case of cancer and diabetes), such as hypoxia, cerebral hypoperfusion, inflammation, acidosis etc. Cognitive impairment can reduce adherence to medication, self-management, recovery from disability; impact different social and daylife activities, such as academic performance, employing, driving, reading and other life aspects. For central nervous system cancer cognitive decline is also serve as an indicator of the tumor possible localization, a prognostic factor of survival and an indicator of the cancer recurrence.
Conclusions. Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in patients with all major types of chronic noncommunicable diseases, with the executive function, memory and attention impaired most often. It reflects the severity of the underlying disease and its effect on the brain. Cognitive impairment can negatively affect the course, prognosis and treatment of major chronic noncommunicable diseases by reducing the management and self-management of therapy, adherence to therapy, quality of life, functional and social outcome and patient`s autonomy. Identification of cognitive impairment, development the ways to treat or compensate it, minimization of the poor cognitive function negative impact on course and prognosis is important for successful chronic noncommunicable diseases management.

Entre palabra y palabra vamos tejiendo humanidad
Authors: Patricia López Adriana , Gutiérrez Guevara Dolly Marley , Patiño Luz Helena 
Published: May 2019

El presente artículo surge de la propuesta investigativa: “Entre palabra y palabra vamos tejiendo humanidad”, en la cual nuestro interés fundamental es darle movilidad a la palabra en el aula, en los corredores, en las calles, en la biblioteca, en el patio, como si ésta fuera un colibrí en la lengua de los niños, adornando el aire, penetrando los huesos y liberando el espíritu. Espacios donde el docente está llamado a no ser un parlante, sino un oidor que libera la palabra para que vuele en la escuela y además, a través de ella, puedan reconocerse, valorarse, auto reflexionarse, posibilitando el entretejido de humanidad, de una humanidad que los hace ciudadanos de y para el mundo. Se le devuelve entonces la palabra al estudiante, visibilizándolo, reconociéndolo y fortaleciendo sus asideros afectivos.Cabe anotar que las maestras investigadoras han llevado a cabo experiencias con niños y niñas en edad escolar (5-10 años) en dos Instituciones públicas urbanas de la Ciudad de Medellín en el año 2012. Dichas experiencias se basan en una propuesta didáctica diseñada con el fin de movilizar la palabra en el contexto. Este proceso ha ido arrojando hallazgos que evidencian realmente la importancia que tiene en la construcción de humanidad, el permitir que la palabra vuele, adorne las hojas de papel, se inscriba en la piel, se esconda en una máscara, se asome risueña por las esquinas y se entreteja en voces y miradas de niños, niñas y docentes.

El propósito del presente artículo es socializar los resultados de la investigación denominada: El Desempeño Académico: Una visión desde los actores. Para llevar a cabo este estudio etnográfico se seleccionaron 2 escuelas de Básica Primaria, una urbana de Manizales y otra rural del Municipio de Belalcázar y un Colegio urbano del Municipio de Villamaria. El objetivo del estudio fue develar los imaginarios que los padres de familia, estudiantes y docentes tienen con relación a los factores internos y externos que inciden en el éxito académico de los estudiantes y comprender el significado que con relación al desempeño académico, tiene los reportes expedidos por las Instituciones Educativas. Los resultados más relevantes de la investigación se sitúan en la escuela ya que como estructura social exige a los actores involucrados el cumplimiento de requerimientos internos y externos desde el respeto y acato a los rituales inmersos en las condiciones institucionales, la práctica pedagógica y la cultura escolar. Estos aspectos se convierten en cierta medida en un obstáculo para el éxito académico sumado a las condiciones del núcleo familiar y las políticas del país. Los reportes expedidos desde las instituciones educativas representan para los estudiantes y docentes una posibilidad para el reconocimiento y certificación de logros, pero para los padres de familia no los mismos, no reflejan en la mayoría de casos un verdadero diagnóstico del proceso escolar.

El presente escrito corresponde a una síntesis de la investigación titulada la formación religiosa, como huella vital, en las prácticas pedagógicas incluyentes, la cual está vinculada con un macro proyecto de la Universidad de Manizales que tiene como objeto principal el estudio de las huellas vitales en las prácticas pedagógicas. Para comenzar es pertinente documentar que las huellas vitales son marcas perdurables que afectan, constituyen y dan sentido a la vida, estas se originan a partir de sucesos significativos que han formado la identidad de cada ser humano en un entorno físico y cultural, en un momento determinado de la vida, y que se hacen presentes en cada acción realizada.El proceso investigativo inició con la realización de las autobiografías de los investigadores, de las cuales se determinó a la formación religiosa como huella vital a investigar, y con ella se realizó el planteamiento del problema, la justificación y el marco teórico teniendo presente las dificultades generadas por la influencia de la formación de docentes en el siglo pasado bajo los principios de homogeneidad postulados por la religión católica y la presencia actual de la diversidad religiosa y la libertad de culto en el aula.Más adelante se organizó la metodología que a través del paradigma cualitativo y el enfoque histórico hermenéutico se hicieron cinco entrevistas a docentes, activos y pensionados, con la formación religiosa como huella vital, para analizar sus opiniones desde sus palabras clave, ideas-fuerza, huellas vitales y categorías de pensamiento, una vez realizado el análisis de cada uno se contextualizo su proceso de formación y desempeño docente en el tiempo, y se elaboró una síntesis reflexiva de los autores por ellos mencionados, y se escribió un ensayo en base a las categorías de pensamiento, posteriormente se realizó un ensayo integrador de los cinco entrevistados que denominamos: la formación religiosa y el “síndrome de salvador”, en el que se relacionan los pensamientos de los entrevistados con la literatura revisada. Ya en la parte final se elaboran las proposiciones, la bibliografía y como anexos las trascripciones de las entrevistas realizadas.
