O presente texto aborda a temática da gestão democrática no movimento de institucionalização dos Sistemas Municipais de Educação (SME) e Escolas de 21 municípios das Regionais de Educação de Colinas e Paraíso do Tocantins. Como questão problema de partida buscamos saber em que medida a gestão democrática, com foco na meta 19 do PNE 2014-2024 e suas estratégias, tem se efetivado no âmbito das Redes e SME no período de 2014 a 2023. O estudo tem por objetivo explicitar o nível de realização da gestão democrática nos 21 municípios mencionados comparando o que foi planejado em relação à meta 19 do PNE 2014-2024 com o planejado e realizado no âmbito da educação municipal. Ancorado na abordagem crítico-dialética o estudo foi materializado por meio das pesquisas bibliográfica e documental recuperando a compreensão gramsciana de direção (consenso/hegemonia) e domínio (força/coerção) de classe como conhecimento importante para o estudo dos fundamentos teórico-práticos de gestão democrática expressos no PNE 2014-2024. Como resultado o estudo trouxe importantes achados sobre: o entendimento de democratização, democracia e gestão democrática; as possibilidades e limites de realização da gestão democrática no âmbito dos sistemas e escolas; e os obstáculos diversos que se impõem à institucionalização e gestão dos SME os quais os trabalhadores da educação municipal necessitam continuar problematizando e enfrentando em busca da realização da gestão democrática efetiva como trincheira de lutas e disputas por uma educação emancipadora de qualidade no âmbito municipal.

Abstract

Objectives
Thymic epithelial tumors (TET) patients are at high risk of autoimmune and hypoimmune complications. Limited evidence is available on the potential risk of immune-related and inflammatory reactions induced by SARS-Cov-2 vaccine in this patient population.

Methods
In order to identify subjects at higher risk for vaccine complications, we prospectively evaluated a panel of serum biomarkers related to inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, −6, −10, −12, and −17A, IFN-α, β and γ, MPO, MMP-9), and vascular damage (E- and P-selectin, VEGF-A, P-ANCA and MCP-1) in 44 TET patients and in 30 healthy controls along the whole SARS-Cov-2 vaccine cycle.

Results
About 50 % of subjects (either TET and controls) showed an increase of serum biochemical markers of inflammation and endothelial damage with a large heterogeneity of values. Such increase appeared early, after the first dose in control subjects and later, after the second dose in TET patients (in which we observed mainly an increase of inflammatory biomarkers). The values normalized after about 3 months and did not increase after the third, booster dose. No autoimmune or vascular complications were observed in the study subjects and no difference was observed in terms of vaccine response among subjects showing serum biomarkers increase and those who experienced no changes.

Conclusions
Our data highlight the relevance of Sars-Cov-2 vaccine in TET patients, as it resulted safe and prevented severe COVID-19. However, further studies are awaited to explore the mechanisms and the potential consequences of the observed increase of serum inflammatory and vascular damage biomarkers.
An inter-semiotic analysis of ideational meaning in text-prompted AI-generated images
Authors: Ghazvineh Arash 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper explores the inter-semiotic analysis of the ideational meaning in images generated by the text-to-image AI tool, Bing Image Creator. It adopts Kress and Van Leeuwen’s Grammar of Visual Design as its theoretical framework as the original grounding of the framework in systemic functional grammar (SFG) ensures a solid theoretical basis for undertaking analyses that involve the incorporation of textual and visual components. The integration of an AI generative model within the analytical framework enables a systematic connection between language and visual representations. This incorporation offers the potential to generate well-regulated pictorial representations that are systematically grounded in controlled textual prompts. This approach introduces a novel avenue for re-examining inter-semiotic processes, leveraging the power of AI technology. The paper argues that visual representations possess unique structural devices that surpass the limitations of verbal or written communication as they readily accommodate larger amounts of information in contrast to the limitations of the linear nature of alphabetic writing. Moreover, this paper extends its contribution by critically evaluating specific aspects of the Grammar of Visual Design.

Abstract

Background
Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M) is a newly developed prognostic model for myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), but has not yet been used widely. In this study, we aimed to compare the IPSS-M with the traditional Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) in predicting the prognosis of decitabine treated-MDS patients.

Patients and methods
This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 19 newly diagnosed MDS patients who were examined for 51 gene mutations and received decitabine treatment. The survival analysis, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS), was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Comparisons between the risk groups were carried out according to the IPSS-R and IPSS-M models.

Results
Among the 19 MDS patients, 12 (63.2 %) showed myeloid gene mutations, with the highest frequency of mutations in ASXL1, RUNX1, SRSF2, TET2, and TP53 (15.8 %). Survival analysis found that the OS was significantly different between the risk groups of both IPSS-R and IPSS-M models, but the PFS and LFS showed significant differences between the risk groups in only the IPSS-M model. The PFS of the moderate, high, and very high-risk groups were 34.66, 25.00, and 15.33 months (p=0.031); respectively. The LFS of the moderate, high, and very high-risk groups were 39.20, 25.00, and 18.37 months, (p=0.039); respectively.

Conclusions
Our results found that IPSS-M was better than IPSS-R in predicting the PFS and LFS of decitabine-treated MDS patients, IPSS-M may be superior to IPSS-R in predicting the prognosis of MDS patients.
Symmetrical and complementary escalation: Understanding the dynamics of the Ukraine war
Authors: Kuchler Barbara 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The paper argues that the initial phase of the Ukraine war involved not only one but two escalatory processes, one following the pattern of symmetrical escalation and the other the pattern of complementary escalation. Symmetrical escalation is “conventional” conflict escalation, which was obviously occurring between Russia and Ukraine. However, drawing on a concept that was originally developed in the context of couple and family therapy, the paper argues that a second escalatory process developed between Russia and Western powers that followed the pattern of complementary escalation. In a complementary escalation, two participants take polarized positions on a spectrum of behavioral options and increasingly radicalize and rigidify in these positions, in a self-reinforcing interactional spiral, as when, e. g., one partner becomes increasingly accusatory and the other increasingly conciliatory, or one becomes increasingly responsible and the other increasingly irresponsible. The interactions between Russia and the West in the early months of 2022 can be described as involving such an escalatory or polarizing spiral, with Russia taking the position of “resort to war and reliance on brute force” and the West taking the position of “defense of international law and ban of war as a means of politics”. While both sides had leaned towards these positions before, they had done so only in the sense of partial and situationally flexible preferences, not in the sense of absolute and rigorously defended principles, and what turned them into staunch and uncomprisiming defenders of these principles was their mutual interaction and polarization. The paper presents a model that captures this dynamic, it discusses the problematic or even tragic role of international law in this process, and it underpins this with general system-theoretical considerations on the role of formalization and legitimation in social systems.
Kants Theorie des demokratischen Friedens und der Krieg in der Ukraine
Authors: Haller Max 
Published: January 2024

Zusammenfassung
In dem Aufsatz wird dargelegt, dass Kants Theorie des demokratischen Friedens den Krieg in der Ukraine sehr gut erklärt. Dies gilt insbesondere für ihre Thesen, dass Kriege vor allem von Eliten und Herrschern ausgelöst werden, dass eine demokratische Verfassung die Kriegsneigung reduziert und dass ein Mangel an Publizität im Sinne einer öffentlichen Bekundung der eigenen Interessen ein Kennzeichen einer moralisch fragwürdigen Politik ist. Aus letzterer Sicht ist auch das Verhalten des Westens kritisch zu sehen: es wurde die NATO nach Osteuropa ausgeweitet, Russland verbal herabgewürdigt und innerhalb der Ukraine das Russische marginalisiert. Der Krieg hat jedoch seinen Charakter von dem eines Freiheitskampfes zu dem der Rückeroberung von Grenzterritorien und zu einem Stellvertreterkrieg geändert. Aus Kants These, dass die Stiftung von Frieden ein eigenständiger Prozess ist, wird gefolgert, dass angesichts des militärischen Patts Waffenstillstandsverhandlungen das Gebot der Stunde sind.
Causeries scriptologiques posthumes avec Anthonij Dees : un rapide survol
Authors: Goebl Hans 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article examines two Old French corpora related to the Domaine d’Oïl (Northern France) from a dialectometric and scriptometric perspective, which go back to the Romance scholar Anthonij Dees (1928–2001). These are, on the one hand, his atlas of charters published in 1980 (digiDees 1980) and, on the other hand, an electronic corpus created in Salzburg as recently as 2006 (digiDees 1983). This is based on geolocalisation computations of Old French texts (from the 12th and 13th centuries), which, carried out by Dees in 1983, were only rediscovered by chance in Amsterdam in 2006 and subsequently transferred to Salzburg. In addition to these two medieval datasets, dialect data from the French linguistic atlas ALF (“Atlas linguistique de la France”, 1902–1910) are also analysed, which spatially align with the two medieval datasets. The dialectometric and scriptometric analyses carried out on these three electronic corpora aim primarily to compare the spatial depth structures found in them. For this purpose, the following dialectometric map types were examined: similarity maps, parameter maps and isoglottic syntheses. When comparing them, an astonishing similarity of the spatial profiles visible on them emerges. It should be noted, however, that a time span of 600 years lies between the Old French data analysed by Dees and those of the ALF. The spatial similarity of the depth structures found in them is therefore all the more striking.
Un esempio di mappatura dell’italiano antico: la carta «‑GN‑» del progetto MIRA
Authors: Cristelli Stefano , Wild Mario 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper intends to present the first results of the project Mappatura dell’Italo-Romanzo Antico (MIRA) funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for the period 2022–2026. The project’s main goal is the mapping of the linguistic situation of Italy before the year 1400. We illustrate one type of linguistic map, the one concerned with single linguistic features (such as the reflexes of Latin vowels, consonants, consonant clusters, etc.), using the outcomes of Latin ‑gn‑. We show how the geographic distribution of the various reflexes can be displayed graphically and how the data from our principal source, the Atlante Grammaticale della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (AGLIO) can be integrated with the scrutiny of other texts and with secondary bibliography. Furthermore, we discuss critical points regarding the balance of our corpus – in a diachronic, diatopic and diastratic/diaphasic perspective – and the expediency of different solutions for the visualization of our findings.
Otvorenost, ali pod koju cijenu – stavovi i praksa hrvatskih autora

Published: January 2024

Objavljivanje u otvorenom pristupu (OA, od engl. &lt;i&gt;open access&lt;/i&gt;) danas je prevladavajući oblik komunikacije znanstvenih rezultata. Prema rezultatima ranijih istraživanja udio OA u ukupnom broju međunarodno vidljivih radova hrvatskih autora iznosi 74 %. Početkom 2023. godine provedena je anketa među korisnicima liste znanstvenici.hr da bi se ispitali stavovi i praksa hrvatskih autora u svezi s OA. Anketa je imala cilj sagledati razinu podrške objavljivanju u OA, prepoznavanje pozitivnih i negativnih aspekata, motivaciju za objavljivanje u OA, izvore financiranja te razloge sklonosti određenim OA izdavačima. Prikupljeno je 763 potpuno ispunjenih upitnika. Analiza rezultata pokazala je da 75 % ispitanika podržava objavljivanje u OA te prepoznaje prednosti koje to donosi znanstvenom istraživanju i obrazovnom procesu. Više od 80 % ispitanika slaže se da OA doprinosi bržoj distribuciji novih spoznaja te da radovi objavljeni u OA imaju veće čitateljstvo i vidljivost. S druge strane, gotovo trećina ispitanika smatra da OA povećava komercijalizaciju znanstvenog izdavaštva te da rastući broj objava smanjuje kvalitetu recenzentskog postupka. Kad je u pitanju odabir časopisa za objavljivanje, većini ispitanika kojima znanstveni časopisi predstavljaju najvažniji kanal komunikacije važniji su ugled časopisa i odjek u znanstvenoj zajednici nego otvoren pristup. Praksa OA časopisa koji objavljuju isključivo uz naplatu troškova objave izaziva najviše razilaženja u stavovima. Ispitanici s pozitivnim stavom objavljuju u takvim OA časopisima, poglavito zbog brzine recenziranja i objave. S druge strane, oni s negativnim stavom smatraju da je izdavačima OA časopisa koji naplaćuju objavu važnija zarada od kvalitete objavljenih članaka, navode da nemaju sredstva za plaćanje troškova objave ili ih ne žele plaćati jer se protive preprekama koje se postavljaju objavljivanju znanstvenih rezultata.
Cost of Pediatric Pneumonia Episodes With or Without Chest Radiography
Authors: Geanacopoulos Alexandra T. , Neuman Mark I. , Michelson Kenneth A. 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Despite its routine use, it is unclear whether chest radiograph (CXR) is a cost-effective strategy in the workup of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the pediatric emergency department (ED). We sought to assess the costs of CAP episodes with and without CXR among children discharged from the ED.

METHODS
This was a retrospective cohort study within the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State ED and Inpatient Databases of children aged 3 months to 18 years with CAP discharged from any EDs in 8 states from 2014 to 2019. We evaluated total 28-day costs after ED discharge, including the index visit and subsequent care. Mixed-effects linear regression models adjusted for patient-level variables and illness severity were performed to evaluate the association between CXR and costs.

RESULTS
We evaluated 225c781 children with CAP, and 86.2% had CXR at the index ED visit. Median costs of the 28-day episodes, index ED visits, and subsequent visits were $314 (interquartile range [IQR] 208–497), $288 (IQR 195–433), and $255 (IQR 133–637), respectively. There was a $33 (95% confidence interval [CI] 22–44) savings over 28-days per patient for those who received a CXR compared with no CXR after adjusting for patient-level variables and illness severity. Costs during subsequent visits ($26 savings, 95% CI 16–36) accounted for the majority of the savings as compared with the index ED visit ($6, 95% CI 3–10).

CONCLUSIONS
Performance of CXR for CAP diagnosis is associated with lower costs when considering the downstream provision of care among patients who require subsequent health care after initial ED discharge.
Tkanina unikatowa o tematyce sakralnej w Państwowym Liceum Sztuk Plastycznych w Lublinie.
Authors: Kierczuk-Macieszko Małgorzata 
Published: January 2024

Punkt wyjścia dla artykułu stanowią tkaniny unikatowe eksponujące szeroko rozumiany pierwiastek duchowy w sztuce. Wszystkie zostały wykonane jako prace dyplomowe kończące proces edukacji na specjalizacji „tkanina artystyczna” w Państwowym Liceum Sztuk Plastycznych im. C.K. Norwida w Lublinie. Celem tekstu nie jest zebranie ich w formie katalogu, lecz w oparciu o jedenaście wybranych przykładów, wskazanie artystycznych ścieżek, którymi podążają młodzi ludzie, odkrywając różnorodne sposoby obrazowania duchowości. Już pobieżny przegląd materiału badawczego ujawnia mnogość rozwiązań, pośród których zarysowują się dwie dominujące strategie. Pierwsza polega na czerpaniu z chrześcijańskiej ikonosfery, z konkretnych dzieł, ze sztuki zrealizowanej w określonych latach i w typowej dla nich stylistyce. Druga szuka alternatywnego języka wypowiedzi plastycznej, niekiedy bliższego abstrakcji niż mimetycznym przedstawieniom. Obie nie stronią od eksperymentów materiałowych i technologicznych. Obok tkanin rozumianych jako wyroby włókiennicze, uzyskane w procesie tkania rozmaitymi technikami, sytuują się więc realizacje bliższe miękkiej rzeźbie, instalacji.
Druga część artykułu przynosi rozważania o przeszłym znaczeniu tkanin dekoracyjnych w aranżacji wnętrza kościołów i ich roli w liturgii Kościoła zachodniego. W kontekście do nich podjęta została próba wskazania przyczyn współczesnej eliminacji tej dziedziny artystycznej z sakralnego wnętrza i deprecjacji tej dyscypliny sztuki, której status obecnie bliższy jest rzemiosłu niż tak zwanym sztukom czystym. Tymczasem, jeszcze w latach 70. XX wieku, Kościół w Polsce był jednym z mecenasów tkaniny artystycznej, tak w formie zakupów i zleceń, jak również poprzez organizowanie dużych wystaw prezentujących sztukę tkaniny. Całość zamykają refleksje, czy możliwa jest zmiana na tym polu, ponieważ tkanina unikatowa ma olbrzymi potencjał ideowy, jest nośnikiem znaczeń nie gorszym niż inne dyscypliny sztuki.

Due to the military conflict in Ukraine, the problem of treating gunshot fractures has become acute, which requires an urgent solution. Objective. On the basis of own experience, to determine the primary problems in the treatment of gunshot diaphyseal fractures of the long bones of the limbs and evaluate the preliminary results. Methods. The treatment process and its results were analyzed in 128 victims with gunshot fractures of long limb bones for the period 08.2022–08.2023. Classical methods of clinical, X-ray and laboratory investigations were used. The assessment was carried out according to the AO classification, that was supplemented with new options for tangent and perforated bone injuries, as well as the volume of destruction of adjacent soft tissues. Wounds of all the patinets were treated using vacuum aspiration, the fragments were fixed with external devices manufactured by Biomet, Stryker, ТОВ «Ейч Ві Орто», ОРТОПАК. Results. The analysis showed that 64 (50 %) of the wounded had a need to take additional measures to preserve or improve the position of the fragments: improvement of the geometry of the external apparatus, replacement of the apparatus with a more perfected one, with a plate or intramedular osteosynthesis; replacement of the apparatus with a plaster bandage or orthosis. Conclusions. Based on the study, it can be argued, that most gunshot diaphyseal fractures of long bones are multifragmental and accompanied with destruction of predominantly peripherally located soft tissues. At the same time, the periosteum with a layer of adjacent muscles for the most part retains integrity, viability and connection with the surface of the fragments. The basic and rational method of fixation of fragments for diaphysical gunshot fractures it is necessary to consider external osteosynthesis with schanz-screws devices. According to our preliminary data, the use of external fixator treatment led to fracture healing in 84% of patients with gunshot hip fracture, 56 % — tibia fracture, 59 % — humerus fracture, and 44 % — forearm fractures.
PUNCTURE LASER MICRODISCECTOMY IN THE TREATMENT OF SEQUESTERED HERNIATION OF LUMBAR INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS
Authors: Zorin Mykola 
Published: January 2024

Objective. to improve the results of treatment of sequestered herniation of lumbar intervertebral discs by the puncture laser microdiscectomy (PLM) method. Methods. During the period from 2000 to 2023, 132 patients with sequestered lumbar disc herniations were operated on by the PLM method. There were 88 males and 34 females. The age of the patients was from 23 to 64 (42.3 ± 3.5) years. Surgeries were performed using a C-arc operating fluoroscope. The laser pulse duration — 0.3–0.5 sec, and radiation exposure — 500–600 J. Approach to the sequestrum was mainly posteromedian transdural. For laterally located sequestra, posterolateral approach was used. The efficacy of PLM was assessed by pain intensity reduction according to the VAS scale one month after surgery, and according to the McNab scale 3 months after surgery. Results. One month after PLM, the maximum reduction of radicular pain intensity was noted in patients with posteromedian hernias, to a lesser extent — with paramedian hernias, and the least pronounced — with lateral hernias. However, no statistically significant differences in pain intensity one month after surgery depending on hernia location were found (p > 0.05). As for the intensity of lumbar pain, in all groups, regardless of hernia location, it significantly decreased and did not exceed 1 point after one month. 3 months after surgery, 95 (71.9 %) patients had an excellent result according to the McNab scale, 13 (9.8 %) — good, 7 (5.3 %) — satisfactory, 17 (12.8 %) — unsatisfactory, indicating that the PLM method of sequestered hernias can be quite effective in a certain selection of patients. According to our data, positive results can reach 81.8 % (95 % CI 74.2–87.9 %) (CI — confidence interval). Conclusions Sequestered hernias, which can be operated by the PLM method, should not exceed 9 mm in height on axial sections, should have a smooth rounded lenticular shape without signs of migration. The positive effect of PLM of sequestered hernias reached 81.7 %. The results were better with PLM of posteromedian hernias.
