Authors: Bachheti Yamini , Nautiyal Vipul , Ahmad Mushtaq 
Published: December 2023

Objectives
The early identification of breast cancer patients who will not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is valuable for timely change in management strategies. Reliable clinical and pathological markers predictive of response to treatment have considerable potential for practical clinical use. Our longitudinal study aimed to assess clinical, pathological, and immunohistological factors predictive of chemotherapy response.

Material and Methods
Thirty Five patients of breast cancer underwent six cycles of Taxotere, Adriamycin, and Cyclophosphamide (TAC) based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Docetaxel 75 mg/m2, Doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 or Epirubicin 100 mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2) every three weeks followed by surgery. Histopathological response was assessed after surgery. At a follow up of 12 months, association between factors was tested with Fisher exact test, survival analysis was done with Kaplan Meier analysis and significance was tested by log rank test.

Results
Five patients out of 35 had pathological complete response (pCR). 14.8% of all T4 disease (P = 0.043) and 22.7% of all Estrogen receptor (ER) negative patients had pCR (P = 0.025). Among all patients showing pCR, four patients (80%) had Grade III tumors (P = 0.018) while all five patients had high Ki67 index (P = 0.032). At 12 months, the mean estimated overall survival came out to be 11.6 months. Mean estimated disease free survival was less for patients with pCR (7.2 months) vs. partial response (10.1 months) (P = 0.44).

Conclusion
Our study concluded that tumors with larger size, higher stage, higher grade, ER negativity and higher proliferation index had better response to chemotherapy but these tumors also had a trend towards early relapse.

The Educational Paradigms in Tagore’s School Through the Lens of Continental Pedagogy
Authors: Lesar Irena 
Published: December 2023

In today’s world, the question of the impact of schooling on various aspects of the personality of children and adolescents is relevant and not just a question of the most effective teaching and learning process. For Tagore, the ultimate goal of education is the all-round development of the individual to adapt harmoniously to reality. The purpose of this article is therefore to detail Tagore’s concept of comprehensive education and how it is reflected in the functioning of his school in Santiniketan. In addition, a qualitative theoretical analysis is undertaken to determine which of the four identified factors of education in the continental tradition (teacher, content of teaching, child and social environment) is the key medium of education in his school. The systematic analysis of the characteristics of Tagore’s educational process and its requirements and objectives shows that he succeeded in integrating all four pedagogical factors known in the European continental tradition, which cannot be said of any of the European pedagogical theories presented (Herbartianism, humanistic or cultural pedagogy, reform pedagogy and socially critical pedagogy). Moreover, Tagore succeeded in bringing many theoretical concepts that are still relevant today (e.g., experiential learning, student participation, embodied cognition, the concept of a hundred languages) into the operation of the Santiniketan School in a very innovative way.

Published: December 2023

Em Poções, povoado no interior de Juazeiro-BA, todo dia 2 de novembro é dia de festa. Carros, motos, ônibus e animais chegam trazendo pessoas de diversos lugares da região para prestarem reverência às irmãs Maria e Augustinha, consideradas santas. É sobre essa devoção que este trabalho se debruça, buscando apresentar os elementos que constituem a fé desse povo, sob a ótica do Catolicismo Popular sertanejo (Souza, 2023; Neves, 2019; Silva, 2019), e como essa crença tem sido transmitida de geração em geração, através da educação informal (Libâneo, 1992, 2010; Gayosso, 2008). Para a construção da pesquisa foi utilizada a etnografia, com o uso das entrevistas em profundidade e a observação participante como técnicas de coletas de dados (Malinowski, 1976; Mattos, Castro, 2011). Observa-se que a devoção das Santas Populares Maria e Augustinha, de tradição centenária, se perpetua ao longo do tempo, a partir da convivência dos jovens com antigos fiéis, por meio da chamada educação informal.
Abstract: In Poções, village in the interior of Juazeiro-BA, every November 2nd is a day of celebration. Cars, motorcycles, buses, and animals arrive, bringing people from various places in the region to pay homage to the sisters Maria and Augustinha, considered saints. This work delves into this devotion, seeking to present the elements that constitute the faith of these people from the perspective of Sertanejo Popular Catholicism (Souza, 2023; Neves, 2019; Silva, 2019), and how this belief has been passed down from generation to generation through informal education (Libâneo, 1992, 2010; Gayosso, 2008). Ethnography was used for the research, with in-depth interviews and participant observation as data collection techniques (Malinowski, 1976; Mattos, Castro, 2011). It is observed that the devotion to the Popular Saints Maria and Augustinha, with a century-old tradition, perpetuates over time through the interaction of young people with older believers, through the so-called informal education.

Published: December 2023

Для нового покоління сучасних каталізаторів необхідні матеріали, які поєднують високу каталітичну активність з низькою щільністю та високими механічними властивостями. Великий інтерес викликають сплави на основі алюмінідів нікелю NiAl3. У роботі показано, що методом синтезу в режимі горіння з подальшою обробкою тиском до розігрітого за рахунок хімічної реакції продукту вдається отримати інтерметалідний NiAl3 сплав з доволі високими механічними властивостями. Подрібнення зерна інтерметалідного сплаву в процесі його синтезу під тиском відбувається в результаті пластичної деформації продукту синтезу та високих швидкостей охолодження. За результатами моделювання встановлено, що високотемпературний синтез інтерметалідного сплаву Nі-Al в порошковій суміші чистих елементів в умовах термохімічного пресування при тепловому вибуху при мінімальному зовнішньому тиску на суміш, дозволяє отримати інтерметалідний продукт синтезу із середнім розміром зерна 50...60 мкм. При кімнатній температурі середнє значення міцності при згинанні дорівнює 580 МПа, а при розтягуванні вона тричі нижча (190 МПа). Границя міцності при розтяжінні литого стехіометричного полікристалу NiАl3 при 293 K складає близько 120 МПа, а міцність при згинанні порошкового NiАl3, отриманого методом гарячого пресування — 250 МПа. Збільшення ступеня пластичної деформації синтезованого під тиском інтерметалідного продукту в умовах інтенсивної пластичної деформації дозволить на порядок знизити розмір зерна в кінцевому продукті і навіть сформувати в інтерметалідному сплаві субмікрокристалічну зернисту структуру. Проведені дослідження показують, що існують потенційні можливості підвищення пластичності та міцності цього матеріалу, наприклад шляхом спрямованого легування.
