Published: September 2022

Background: Surgery in geriatric patients constitutes a major but neglected public health problem. It hence poses a great challenge to surgeons and general practitioners practising in a resource-limited setting. Geriatric patients are increasingly hospitalized in surgical wards in Tanzania and little information is currently available on this group of patients. This study aimed to determine the pattern of diseases and clinical outcomes among geriatric surgical patients at Bugando Medical Centre and to identify the predictors of outcomes among these patients in our local setting.
Methods and Patients: It was a cross-sectional study of geriatric surgical patients admitted to BMC from June 2017 to April 2018.
Results: Out of 304 geriatric surgical patients enrolled, males outnumbered females by a male to female ratio of 3.1: 1. The majority of patients were in the 7th decade of life. Associated medical comorbidities were reported in 107 (35.2%) patients. Urology speciality had the highest number of geriatric patients (101; 60.2%) admitted to BMC followed by general surgery in 70 (23.0%) patients. Gynaecology and Neurosurgery had the least number of geriatric patients with 4(1.3%) and 1(0.3%) patients admitted respectively. The majority of geriatric surgical patients, 286(94.1%) were treated surgically. A total of 168 patients (58.7%) developed postoperative complications. The mortality rate was 15.2% and it was significantly associated with loa ng duration of illness, high American Society of Anesthesiologist class, operation under gene anaesthesia and prolonged duration of the operation.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that surgeries among geriatric patients are commonly performed at BMC and are associated with unacceptably high morbidity and mortality. Factors responsible for the high morbidity and mortality in our geriatric surgical patients should be addressed to improve the surgical outcomes in this group of patients.

Professores de inglês em formação inicial trilhando o caminho da decolonialidade
Authors: Nascimento Ana Karina de Oliveira , Alves dos Santos Lucas Natan , Vargas Façanha Maria Amália , De Melo Cardoso Thiago 
Published: September 2022

Aspectos relacionados à decolonialidade, especialmente na formação de docentes de inglês, não devem mais ser ignorados. Pensando nisso, desenvolvemos, ao longo de um semestre do curso de Letras/Inglês de uma universidade federal, duas disciplinas do último semestre da graduação, por meio das quais estabelecemos diálogos entre o ensino de línguas e literaturas sob o olhar decolonial. Neste texto, objetivamos compartilhar e analisar dados acerca da experiência, a qual culminou com apresentações de propostas didáticas decoloniais por parte dos graduandos, a serem desenvolvidas em salas de aula de inglês da educação básica. Trata-se de uma análise qualitativa interpretativista (MOITA LOPES, 1994) do desenvolvimento das disciplinas, com foco nas propostas didáticas apresentadas. Nossa discussão, no escopo da linguística aplicada, ancora-se em autores como Grosfoguel (2021), Mignolo (2017), Silva Júnior; Matos (2019), Kumaravadivelu (2014), Monte Mór (2018), Queiroz (2020). Os principais resultados demonstram que, ao terem contato com ideias decoloniais, os docentes em formação inicial conseguiram expandir suas perspectivas acerca do significado de ensinar inglês na escola pública, embasando propostas em suas próprias vivências no ensino superior, bem como nas experiências proporcionadas pelos estágios supervisionados; o que, no caso em análise, culminou com atividades problematizadoras acerca de questões étnico-raciais e de gênero.

Researchers were guided by Krejcie and Morgan sample determination table to come up with a sample size of 230, and selected the sample using Simple random sampling technique. Self-administered Questionnaire and interview guide helped in collection of data; then after collected data were processed and analysed using SPSS version 20.
Findings: Study results show a significant and moderate positive relationship between on-job training, off-job training and job satisfaction (r=.381, p<.01) and (r=.308, p<.01) respectively for on-job training and off-job training.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study makes a unique contribution to human resource training and development literature by providing context-based evidence on the positive relationship that exist between employee training and job satisfaction in public institutions in western Uganda. Practitioners in these institutions are anticipated to gain new insights on the vital role of employee training towards elevating satisfaction levels of staff. The study recommended that public higher learning institutions in western Uganda re-orient their strategic focus to training and development needs of their staff if they are to achieve their set targets. This is justified because this study has found out that such practices help them keep their staff morale boosted which apparently affects the way they render services to their clients.
The significance of time in the design of a public landscape
Authors: Mackenzie Lisa 
Published: September 2022

This paper revisits a built project to reveal a hidden and experimental ambition for a public space through drawing in time.
Behind the project’s initial inception lay the designer’s motivation to challenge, open and expand the consideration of time in the way in which public landscapes are invented, configured and received. As such, the project sought to attend both to the way in which time manifests as a design consideration through drawing and to the way in which time could be conceptually and experientially sustained in the afterlife of the completed work.
In the inevitable ebbs and flows of productivity and decision taking that ran through the project, the designer came to realize that the ambitions outlined above stretched beyond their client’s comprehension of what the project could and should be. Instead, an aspiration to design “in time” became subservient to the client and stakeholders’ focus on the material manifestation of the work as a visual object and to the project’s public reception when it was deemed “complete”. For the designer this meant that opportunities to expand design thinking into practices tied to the continuing and relational opportunities of the space remained disappointingly determinate and closed.
By revisiting the existing representations and by making new drawings that were more explorative and unburdened by the conditions of project delivery, new liberty was found, revealing a unique bond between drawing in time and the relational opportunities of the work.

Authors: Ruiz-Fernández Jesús , Fernández Menéndez Susana del Carmen , García-Hernández Cristina , Menéndez Duarte Rosa Ana 
Published: September 2022

Se exponen los resultados del proyecto de innovación docente “La Antártida en el Aula” (curso 2018-2019), desarrollado en el marco de tres asignaturas pertenecientes a otros tantos Grados de la Universidad de Oviedo. Se utilizó la herramienta “Videoconferencia BigBlue-Button” con el objetivo de aprovechar la participación del profesorado en una campaña de investigación antártica para trasmitir conocimiento significativo al alumnado, aprovechando las sinergias resultantes en favor de la docencia mediante el contacto directo del alumnado con el continente helado y con las actividades de investigación allí desarrolladas. Las principales dificultades estuvieron relacionadas con la retrasmisión de las videoconferencias, debido al escaso ancho de banda existente. Los cambios efectuados, junto a recursos complementarios (foros, grupos de Whatsapp, elaboración de videos cortos), permitieron desarrollar satisfactoriamente el proyecto. La flexibilidad y la capacidad de adaptación se mostraron como las principales estrategias para el desarrollo de esta experiencia docente en un entorno remoto.
