Authors: Bermúdez P. M. , Pulecio S. L. , Suárez M. C. 
Published: May 2016

<p>La diseminación de aislamientos de Salmonella spp resistentes a antimicrobianos, a través de las cadenas productivas de alimentos de origen animal, es una preocupación de salud pública de carácter mundial. Éste estudio describe los patrones de resistencia antimicrobiana de 283 aislamientos de Salmonella enterica procedentes de plantas de beneficio porcino en Colombia. Se evaluó la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana frente a diez antimicrobianos: amoxacilina-ácido clavulánico (30 ug), ampicilina(10 ug), ceftiofur (30 ug), ciprofloxacina (5 ug), cloranfenicol (30 ug), florfenicol (30 ug), gentamicina (10 ug), sulfadiazina/trimetroprim (25 ug), tetraciclina (30 ug) y tilmicosina (15 ug) mediante el método de difusión en disco (Bauer &amp; Kirby, 1966). Los resultados evidenciaron la presencia de 279 aislamientos multiresistentes de Salmonella enterica de origen porcino provenientes del ambiente y producto terminado de las plantas de beneficio evaluadas (46.64% n: 132). Se detectaron 52 patrones de multiresistencia, el más común fue ceftiofur-tetraciclina-tilmicosina en el 9,89% (n: 28) de los aislamientos. Con referencia a éstos antimicrobianos el 96,82% (n: 274) de los aislamientos fueron resistentes a tetraciclina, 73,14% (n: 207) a tilmicosina y 28,27% (n: 80) a ceftiofur. De especial interés fue la alta proporción de aislamientos resistentes a éste último, debido a una posible resistencia cruzada con ceftriaxona. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la necesidad de promover y fortalecer un Programa oficial de Vigilancia de la Resistencia Antimicrobiana y sistemas de monitoreo voluntario en cada eslabón de las cadenas productivas, para contribuir a la prevención y control de la transmisión de microorganismos resistentes de origen alimentario en el marco del sistema de gestión de inocuidad alimentaria en Colombia.</p>

Abstract

Background.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are commonly treated with multimodality therapy. The combination of capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM) has been suggested as a treatment option for patients with metastatic NETs. We present our experience with CAPTEM.

Methods.
Data on NET patients who were placed on CAPTEM and received at least one cycle were obtained from a Velos eResearch database. Response rate was calculated by RECIST 1.1. Overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier survival method.

Results.
A total of 29 patients (17 male and 12 female) were included. Median age at CAPTEM initiation was 58 years (range: 26–77). Primary tumors included 9 small bowel (31%), 15 pancreas (52%), 3 lung (10%), and 2 rectum (7%). Median number of CAPTEM cycles was 8 (range: 1–55). Partial response occurred in 5 patients (5 of 29, 17%); 14 patients (14 of 29, 48%) had stable disease, and 10 patients (10 of 29, 34%) had progressive disease. A total of 3 (20%) and 5 (33%) pancreatic NETs experienced partial response and stable disease, respectively. A total of 2 (14%) and 9 (64%) nonpancreatic NETs experienced partial response and stable disease, respectively. Partial response was noted in 1 patient (13%) and stable disease in 5 patients (63%) with Ki-67 values of less than 2%. In patients with Ki-67 values of 2%–20%, partial response was noted in 3 (19%) and stable disease in 8 (50%). Partial response and stable disease were noted in 1 patient each (20%) with Ki-67 values greater than 20%. Median PFS was 12 months. Adverse reactions caused dose reductions in 24% of patients.

Conclusion.
Although adverse reactions were experienced, most patients tolerated this regimen. CAPTEM should be considered as a reasonable treatment option for metastatic NET patients.

The ecological approach offers a wide range of opportunities regarding performing of interdisciplinary research in the educational sciences, as well as comprises significant potential of innovative, creative pedagogical activities in practice. One of the ways of the implementation of ecological approach is the workplace-based learning. The workplace-based learning are both scientific conception and strategy for the elaboration and development of professional education dual system in the state-level educational policy and educational management fields. The aim of research: to substantiate theoretically the workplace-based learning for the facilitation of the professional development of prospective and/or already working specialists. The concept of workplace-based learning has both wide and narrow meaning. According the wide meaning, the workplace-based learning facilitate the lifelong professional development of an individual for which the environment of professional activities is very important. According to the narrow meaning, the workplace-based learning mean the organization of prospective specialists' practice at the companies. The conception of workplace-based learning provides that the environment of professional education consists of two components: from the environment of educational establishment and from the base organization as the environment of professional activities. In the dual system of professional education both these environments form an indivisible integral entirety. The ecological approach provides a perspective for the sustainable development of dual professional education.

Published: May 2016

In the article, the aims of teaching bioscience in primary and middle school have been introduced. Core curriculum has been mentioned as well, and the tools that may be used by a teacher to convey theory and practical knowledge in the most efficient way have been discussed. Furthermore, it has been noticed that various ecological ventures have a positive impact on children's ecological awareness. In the second part of the article, results of surveys conducted among primary and middle school students have been introduced. It embraces also questions and answers, in which children describe their knowledge level about the condition of environment and talk about their attitude towards taking care of nature, and what are the stimuli of such demeanours. In addition, the task of surveys was to find out which issues teachers pay particular attention to. The last two questions were to check the knowledge.
SELF-DIRECTED CROSS-CURRICULUM TEACHING/LEARNING PROCESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PARADIGM SHIFT
Authors: Petere Anita 
Published: May 2016

The strategy of a sustainable development of Latvia until year 2030 marks a significant trend – creativity and talents as competitiveness. The key words of the progress of education policy can be characterized as learning together – pupil and pupil, pupil and teacher, teacher and teacher, building a supportive and creative environment in teaching/learning process. On the basis of the above mentioned, a paradigm shift clearly emerges in school pedagogical process. It can be characterized as learning by doing – changing the achievement evaluation system, providing pupils’ understanding to influence and guide the study process themselves according to their interests and needs for personality development.The essence of the research reveals the correlations between a self-directed cross-curriculum teaching/learning process of early school age pupils and the implementation of the paradigm focused on a pupil’s learning activity.The sources of self-development and a self-directed teaching/learning process lie in action itself. An action has its direction and the meeting of learning needs emerges in this direction.The research reveals that a successful, self-directed teaching/learning process, based on theoretical conclusions, provides the implementation of the paradigm focused on a pupil’s learning activity and meeting the pupil’s learning needs. In its turn, the necessity for a further advance of the research emerges in order to discover pedagogical means for the motivation of teachers- practitioners to change their conventional style of work and see the advantages of the paradigm focused on a pupil’s learning activity for the progress of personality development.

Authors: Urboniene Aiste 
Published: May 2016

Sector of technological and physical sciences is exceptionally male professional area. It is rather difficult to motivate girls already in the school for career in this field. Professional gender stereotypes are one of the main reasons that impact attitudes towards girls in this male area. In this young age both parents and teachers play an important role as well as dominating images in media, forming aspirations concerning professional career. Thus, the school environment is particularly significant as motivating or demotivating girls to select this pathway of their professional career. This paper is aimed to identify factors significant for development of professional motivation for technological and physical sciences among schoolgirls in Lithuanian schools. The sample consisted of 1398 schoolchildren (58 % females and 42 % males) from 33 Lithuanian schools. The average age of the schoolchildren was 16-17 years. The study was financed by Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania.The results of the empirical analysis indicated that boys expressed stronger professional motivation and showed higher interest in IT and Physics practicing the related activities on their free time, whereas girls expressed lower evaluation of their abilities to learn IT and Physics and more follow gender stereotypes.
INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SIMULATION AS A RESPONSE TO CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Authors: Prauzner Tomasz 
Published: May 2016

The theory of teaching, commonly referred to as didactics, is gaining increasing recognition in the work of a teacher immersed in the present-day reality of education. It appears right to assume that familiarity with the changing world should inspire innovativeness aimed to eliminate unnecessary or inadequate phenomena. For this reason, it is advisable to treat didactics as a theoretical discipline with practical implications for teachers, especially in the process of transforming and perfecting the educational system to make it meet the real social and economic challenges. The paper presents empirical studies conducted in the period 2010-2015 among full-time and weekend students of Safety Engineering at Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa, Poland. The studies were aimed to test the hypothesis that using deterministic computer simulations in the didactic process fosters learning effectiveness in the field of technological education as compared to traditional methods applied in a laboratory. The investigation employed extended methodology including verifying detailed hypotheses by means of empirical studies proved to be significant by the c2 (chi-squared) test. It was also situated within the general theory of education, additionally addressing the postulates of constructivist and cognitivist paradigms of learning.

Authors: Gudzinskienė Vida , Raudeliūnaitė Rita 
Published: May 2016

The article analyses the qualification improvement of social workers, who work in children‘s care homes, in the context of their restructuring. A qualitative-empirical study has been conducted by using the method of a semi-structured interview. The study data were processed by using the method of content analysis. The results of the empirical study are based on the experience of 14 social workers, who work in care institutions, which participate in the restructuring, which consists of the changeover from institutional care to the services that are provided to children, who have become destitute of parental care, in a family and community. Internal (an aspiration for a continuous qualification improvement and the desire to share professional experience) and external (changes related to the restructuring, ever higher requirements for social workers, the encouragement and support of the administration of institutions to improve their qualification) stimuli to improve qualification have been highlighted. The most relevant topics of qualification improvement for social workers are the development of personal and social skills in children, the preparation of them for an independent life, the solution of behavioural and psychological problems in children and the preparedness of social workers themselves for the restructuring and the need for supervisions. The topics, which meet their needs, are: the development of social skills, the communication with children and the preparation of them for a family. According to the informants, there is a lack of trainings oriented towards the solution of practical problems which arise while organizing the restructuring. The following problems related to the improvement of qualification were highlighted: the mismatch between the teaching topics and the content, during the trainings for social worker, who work in children‘s care homes, the problems of other social groups, but not of children are analysed. During trainings, there is a lack of the detailed examination of the solution of practical problems. The social workers lack trainings related to the preparation for the restructuring.

Authors: Strads Gatis 
Published: May 2016

The article gives an insight into the theatre department pedagogue activity for the training of the emerging drama actors for practice at theatre at Arts higher education school. Monographs, scientific publication materials and archive documents have been analysed on pedagogues’ activities at the theatre faculty and the former and the existing pedagogues’ interview data about the student training for activity at theatre. The comparative analysis of the drama art study programmes from 1948 till 2015 has been accomplished. The fact has been emphasized that different directors through times base Latvian drama art on K. Stanislavsky’s notions of the drama mastery of actors due to the successive professional activity implementation at the theatre. The conclusion has been drawn that the emerging actors’ personalities are significant in the training of the emerging actors, their human development would be promoted by inclusion of pedagogy and psychology subjects in the studies by the emerging actors at the tertiary level.
Beyond the Feeble Mind: Foregrounding the Personhood of Inmates with Significant Intellectual Disabilities in the Era of Institutionalization
Authors: Allen Holly , Fuller Erin 
Published: May 2016

This essay explores the experiences of persons with significant intellectual disabilities at the Vermont State School for Feebleminded Children (later Brandon Training School) in the period 1915-1960. We discuss the limits of existing histories of intellectual disability in accounting for the distinct experiences of significantly intellectually disabled people. This essay works to correct the tendency to define the nominal intellectual disability of "morons" and "borderline" cases—both in the past and in disability historiography of the past—against the abject, embodied difference of the "low-grade idiot" or "imbecile." The history we offer has implications for the present-day disability rights movement.

Published: May 2016

El dolor musculoesquelético representa una de las causas más frecuentes de dolor recurrente en pediatría. En general no existe un antecedente traumático evidente sino que los pacientes presentan síntomas, de manera intermitente, desde tiempo antes de solicitar la evaluación; en estos casos, los niños son llevados a consulta por otro motivo y, una vez allí, sus padres mencionan la presencia de dolor musculoesquelético. Menos frecuentemente el motivo de consulta es cojera o incapacidad funcional de aparición brusca sin antecedente traumático previo.

Published: May 2016

<p>The total magnetic intensity data has been collected in and around Ramadugu Village in Eastern DharwarCraton to understand the magnetic evidence over the known Lamproites zones in conjunction with geology and geomorphology. Based on the magnetic, geological and geomorphological signatures observed from the known lamproites potential zones, new probable locations are identified in the study area. Nine magnetic lows and fourteen magnetic highs are traced, lows are representing the presence of Lamproites within the granite gneiss, and highs are observed over the presence of banded iron formations. The generated analytical (Horizontal, Vertical, Tilt, Analytical signal) maps from the total magnetic anomaly show the trends of the magnetic lineaments and trending in NW-SE, NE-SW &amp;E-W direction. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the magnetic data clearly identified four tectonic disturbed (A.B,C,D) zones, various faults and other lineaments/dykes and the intersection of lineaments, geological, morpho structural, tectonic aspects of reported occurrence of lamproites near Ramadugu and Vattikodu areas were found to be localized at surrounding of the domal peripherals. Using this criterion eight potential lamproites zones were delineated(2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11 and 13) in the study region. The long normalized radial averaged power spectrum of the study area indicated that the depth to the granite gneiss basement is around 2 Km.The dyke configurations in the region was obtained via the inversion of magnetic profiles.</p>

In present Research work, the mathanolic extract of garlic was incorporated in locally developed Psyllium based edible coating for its application on mandarin. Different concentrations of the extract were used in the coating and quality of the fruit was monitored during storage at room temperature. The results indicated that there was least change (increase) in brix, weight loss, brix/acid ratio, pH and acidity of the fruit during storage studies. The fungal contamination was effectively controlled due to incorporation of garlic extracts at a rate of 6-8%. On the basis of these results it was concluded that the garlic extracts can be used in psyllium based edible coating and it has antifungal significant antifungal potential but at relatively higher concentrations (&gt;6%).
Cutaneous and Mixed Nerve Silent Period Recordings in Symptomatic Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia
Authors: Cogez Julien , Etard Olivier , Derache Nathalie , Defer Gilles 
Published: May 2016

Objective:
The underlying neurophysiologic mechanism responsible for secondary paroxysmal kinesigenic
dyskinesia (PKD) is still unclear. Here, we study the pathogenesis of PKD in two patients with a
demyelinating lesion in the spinal cord.

Methods:
Electromyogram recordings from affected arms of
two patients with spinal cord lesions presenting PKD were compared with our laboratory standards.
The cutaneous silent period (CuSP), mixed nerve silent period (MnSP) and coincidence period (CiP), defined
as the common period between the CuSP and MnSP, were recorded.

Results:
A large decrease in the MnSP and disappearance
of the CiP were observed in our patients, which was secondary to simultaneous extinction of the third portion of the MnSP,
while the CuSP was normal. The MnSP and CiP were normal after recovery.

Conclusions:
Our results demonstrate that the third portion
of the MnSP and the CuSP do not correspond to the same physiologic process.
These findings suggest that PKD patients have abnormal spinal interneuron integration.
