Published: July 2023

Objective: To investigate the effects of morphine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets and oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets on T-cell levels in advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma(LUSC) with moderate to severe cancer pain.

Methods: A retrospective study was used, ninety-eight patients who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University for treatment of advanced LUSC with moderate to severe cancer pain between January 2021 and December 2021 were randomized into two groups(n=49 each) using the sealed envelope system. The reference group was treated with morphine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, while the experimental group received oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets to compare pain relief rates(PRRs), levels of T cells, pain intensity, et al. Blood samples were collected for lymphocyte levels by flow cytometry.

Results: The experimental group had significantly higher level than the reference group(P<0.05). Before administration, the two groups did not differ greatly in levels of T-cell subsets or pain scores on the visual analog scale(P>0.05, respectively). At 15 days of administration, the Treg level in the experimental group was higher than in the reference group; T helper 17 and 22 cells were reduced in both groups, and the decrease was more pronounced in the experimental group. At seven and 15 days of administration, the experimental group had a VAS score significantly lower than the reference group(P<0.05). The total adverse reaction rate was significantly lower in the experimental group as compared with the reference group(P<0.05).

Conclusions: Oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets demonstrate desirable efficacy and safety in advanced LUSC with moderate to severe cancer pain by modulating T-cells in the body and improving the PRR.

Authors: Alam Laima , Khan Rao Saad Ali , Saeed Farrukh , Sher Farrukh , Khan Rao Zaid Ali
Published: July 2023

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of left lateral decubitus versus prone position during endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreaticography (ERCP).

Methods: This prospective single-centre cohort study was carried out at Pak Emirates Military Hospital from January to June 2021. Patients requiring ERCP were subsequently allotted LL or PP group randomly (unequal randomization) except patients with recent abdominal surgery, in-dwelling catheters, raised intra-abdominal pressure, cervical spine abnormalities and limb contractures. Qualitative data was analysed using frequencies and chi square statistics whereas, quantitative data was analysed using mean±SD and student T or Mann Whitney U-test.

Results: A total of 114 patients were enrolled according to the inclusion criteria with 62(54%) males and majority of the patients (42%) belonging to the age group 31-45 years. The most common ERCP indication was choledocholithiasis (36%). Technical success was achieved in 109(96%) patients with no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The total time of procedure, time for deep cannulation, time for acquiring therapeutic goal and ERCP complexity level were all similar between the two groups. The rate of inadvertent PD cannulation and PEP were relatively higher for the PP group but were statistically non-significant through univariate and logistic regression analyses and the only outcome measure that showed significance was multiple cannulations in the PP group.

Conclusion: The study concludes that LL is non-inferior to PP and both positions have comparable outcomes with non-significant differences in terms of technical success rate, complications (specifically PEP), total procedure time, time required for deep cannulation and attainment of goal, ERCP complexity level and inadvertent PD cannulation.

Authors: Lang Zhigang , Zhang Xu
Published: July 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to analyse the clinical effect of surgery for patients with fibrous dysplasia (FD) of the proximal femur with varus deformity, detect the muscle function around the hip joint.

Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 20 patients who underwent operation for FD of the proximal femur with varus deformity at West China Hospital, from January 2018 to October 2022 were included in this study. The peak torque (PT) of muscle strength during abduction, adduction, flexion and extension of bilateral hip joints was measured by an isokinetic muscle test and training system associated with the comparison of bilateral hip joints, to evaluate the function of muscles around the hip joint after operation.

Results: The difference between the length of the affected limb and the healthy side was 1~2 cm in seven cases and <1 cm in 13 cases. The force line showed no abnormality in 15 affected limbs, which deviated from the center of the knee joint by 3-5 mm in five cases. The average PT during abduction of hip joints on the affected side of 20 patients was significantly lower than that on the healthy side, which was also reduced evidently during adduction and flexion of hip joints on the affected side compared with that on the healthy side.

Conclusions: After effective recovery of the force line and length of the affected limb in patients with FD of the proximal femur with deformity, functional abnormalities of muscles are still present to a certain extent.

Authors: Zhang Chang-hong , Liu Jian-hua , Zhao Jian-qing , Zhang Zhi-hua , Gu Xin
Published: July 2023

Objectives: To investigate the effect of bi-level positive airway pressure (BIPAP) therapy on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with anxiety and depression.

Methods: This is a retrospective study. One hundred patients with COPD complicated with anxiety and depression who were admitted to the Respiratory Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group were given conventional symptomatic treatment, while those in the observation group were given BIPAP therapy in addition to the treatment in the control group. The two groups were compared and analyzed in terms of respiratory function indicators, the changes in the scores of St. George’s Hospital Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and COPD assessment test (CAT), blood gas analysis indicators, the levels of serum neurokinin A (NKA), serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), and serum serotonin (5-HT), as well as the changes in the scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).

Results: After treatment, the levels of lung function indicators in both groups increased, SGRQ and CAT scores decreased, and pH levels remained unchanged. In addition, PaO2 levels increased, PCO2, 5-HT, NKA and IL-6 levels decreased, and HAMA and HAMD scores decreased. The improvement degree of each indicator in the observation group was superior to that in the control group.

Conclusion: In the clinical treatment of COPD complicated with anxiety and depression, BIPAP boasts effective amelioration of lung function and relief of anxiety and depression symptoms, and its mechanism of action may have a close bearing on ameliorating the levels of 5-HT, NKA, and IL-6 in patients.

Insulin requiring Gestational Diabetes: Risk factors and correlation with postpartum diabetes and prediabetes
Authors: Ghamri Kholoud
Published: July 2023

Objective: A2 gestational diabetes mellitus (A2GDM) is a more severe form of GDM that requires additional medical intervention, such as insulin or oral antidiabetic drug (OAD). The present study explored the determinants of A2GDM and analyzed the associated risk of post-partum diabetes or prediabetes.

Methods: This retrospective study included 247 pregnant women, diagnosed with GDM and followed up until delivery at the Obstetric Medicine Clinic of King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between January 2014 and January 2018. Women with personal history of diabetes or prediabetes were excluded. Collected data included patient’s age, body mass index, personal history of thyroid dysfunction and GDM, HbA1c level at diagnosis, management of GDM (diet only, insulin, or OAD), and postpartum metabolic assessment.

Results: The prevalence of A2GDM was 29.6%, of which 21.5% were insulin-requiring and 8.1% were OAD-requiring cases. The risk of A2GDM was independently associated with a positive history of GDM (OR=3.19, 95% CI = 1.41-7.20) and HbA1c >7% (OR=8.66, 95%CI = 2.15- 34.94); the model explained 20% of the variance of A2GDM. The postpartum assessment showed that 10.1% have developed prediabetes, while no one developed overt diabetes. Postpartum prediabetes was independently predicted by age category ≥45 years (OR=39.94, 95%CI = 4.62-345.06), history of GDM (OR=0.18, 95%CI = 0.03 – 0.97), and A2GDM (OR=6.96, 95%CI = 1.91-25.42).

Conclusion: Approximately one-third of GDM patients in our institution require insulin or OAD for glycemic control and are at high risk of developing prediabetes postpartum. Adherence to and effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy should be further explored among GDM patients to improve their glycemic control and both maternal and fetal prognosis.

Authors: Töz Emrah , Kanmaz Ahkam Göksel , İnan Abdurrahman Hamdi , Karaca İbrahim , Yıldırım Karaca Suna , Demir Ahmet
Published: July 2023

Objective: We aimed to compare the inflammatory response with alterations in hemogram parameters, in patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for benign gynecologic conditions with ligasure plus monopolar cautery or harmonic plus conventional bipolar cautery.

Methods: Patients who underwent Laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy between January 2017 and January 2022 for benign gynecologic pathology were identified. Patients were divided into two group, according to instruments used during surgery. Instruments were used according to surgeons preference. Preoperative and postoperative in the first 24 hours hematocrit (HCT), WBC, trombocyt, neutrophil- lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR) ratio, mean platelet volume- lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) and red cell distribution width- platelet ratio (RPR) values were compared.

Results: During study period, a total of 462 patients underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecologic pathology. After exclusion, 212 patients were included in the study. İn the study group, 147 patients were operated with ligasure plus monopolar electrocauter and 65 with harmonic scalpel plus bipolar electrocautery. İn the postoperative period, regardless of the procedure, WBC and RPR count increase, hematocrit and trombocyt decrease in both group but the inflammatory markers lymphocyte count, neutrophyl, NLR, PLR and MPVLR count changed less in the harmonic plus bipolar cautery group which shows less inflamatuar response in this group.

Conclusions: Ligasure plus monopolar cautery group compared with harmonic plus bipolar cautery group cause more inflammatory changes in complete blood count values. However, further studies are needed to show whether these changes in laboratory findings affect clinical situations.

Authors: BB Darshan , Holla Ramesh , Unnikrishnan Bhaskaran , Achappa Basavaprabhu , Poovattil Robin , Sharma Ashir , Simmy Shawna , Prateek Suryansh
Published: July 2023

Background: Dengue is an emerging global viral disease with an increase 30-fold in incidence in the past fifty years. In the past decade it was restricted to only few a states of South and Northern India but in the recent past it has affected almost all the states in India. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical profile, trends and outcome of dengue cases. 

Methods: This retrospective record based cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary hospitals, Mangaluru in Southern India. The study population included all clinical dengue positive cases over a period of five years. Information from pre-recorded case sheets were used for data collection. The data collected was entered and analyzed in SPSS Version 20. Results were expressed in percentages, means and graphs. 

Results: The study included 401 dengue cases. Most cases were in the age range of 20-40 years with a male to female ratio of 3:2. Overall seropositivity rate was 23.94% with High IgM prevalence. Monthly distribution showed a maximum incidence in the months of June and July and minimum incidence in January and February. Among the study participants, 91.5% of patients recovered completely and 1.7% of patients had died. 8.7% of patients were discharged against medical advice. 

Conclusions: Dengue continues to be major public health problem which indirectly hints towards the hyper endemic nature of this disease in this part of the globe affecting mainly the working age group. Low seropositivity with High IgM prevalence makes dengue an important differential for febrile illness of vague nature and invokes the need for robust public health response to curb the hyper-endemicity.
Novel five-phase model for understanding the nature of misophonia, a conditioned aversive reflex disorder
Authors: Dozier Thomas , Mitchell Nathanael
Published: July 2023

Background: Misophonia is a recently identified condition in which a person perceives a subtle stimulus (e.g., eating sounds, hair twirling) and has an intense, negative emotional response. Misophonia cannot be classified with established nosological systems.

Methods: We present a novel five-phase model of misophonia from a cognitive-behavioral framework. This model identifies a learned reflex of the autonomic nervous system as the primary etiology and maintenance of misophonia. Phase one is anticipatory anxiety and avoidance. Phase two is a conditioned physical reflex (for example, the tensing of calf muscles) that develops through stimulus-response Pavlovian conditioning. Phase three includes intense negative emotional responses and accompanying physiological distress, thoughts, urges, and emotion-driven behavior. Phase four is the individual’s coping responses to emotional distress, and phase five is the environmental response and resulting internal and external consequences of the coping behaviors. Each phase helps explain the maintenance of the response and the individual’s impairment.

Results: Anticipatory anxiety and avoidance of phase one contributes to an increased arousal and awareness of triggers, resulting in increased severity of the trigger experience. Both the Pavlovian-conditioned physical reflex of phase two and the emotion-driven behavior caused by the conditioned emotional response of phase three increase with in vivo exposure to triggers. Phase four includes internal and external coping behaviors to the intense emotions and distress, and phase 5 includes the consequences of those behaviors. Internal consequences include beliefs and new emotions based on environmental responses to anger and panic. For example, the development of emotions such as shame and guilt, and beliefs regarding how ‘intolerable’ the trigger is.

Conclusions: We assert misophonia is a multi-sensory condition and includes anticipatory anxiety, conditioned physical reflexes, intense emotional and physical distress, subsequent internal and external responses, and environmental consequences.

Authors: Vafin Il'shat , Safin Radik , Minikaev Rogat , Khaibullin Mukhamet , Minnullin Gennadiy
Published: July 2023

The research was carried out in order to study the effect of top dressing with liquid fertilizers on mineral nutrition, yield and quality of seeds of winter wheat of Kazanskaya 560 varietiy in seed crops. The work was carried out in 2017–2020 in Kama zone of the Republic of Tatarstan on gray forest soil, characterized by a very low supply of molybdenum, low - zinc, high - copper and manganese, very high - boron. Liquid fertilizers of the Metallocene series containing macro- and microelements were studied. Top dressing was carried out in three terms: the first - in the autumn period with manganese-containing fertilizer Metallocene D with a norm of 1.0 l/ha, the second - during the spring regrowth, the third - in the heading phase with fertilizers with copper (grade A), zinc (grade B), molybdenum and boron (grade C) at rates of 1.0 l/ha. The consumption of working fluid during spraying is 200 l/ha. In 2018 and 2019 dry conditions were noted, in 2020 - favorable for winter wheat. Double foliar application with zinc fertilizer increased the yield by 0.18 t/ha, boron and molybdenum - by 0.16 t/ha. Autumn top dressing with manganese increased the grain harvest by 0.67 t/ha, and against its background with molybdenum-boron fertilizer - by another 0.15 t/ha. Foliar feeding led to an increase in the content and removal of phosphorus from 1 ton of winter wheat seeds. Microfertilizers increased the laboratory germination of seeds of a new crop by 3.1...5.4%, and also reduced their infection with phytopathogenic micromycetes by 1.2...23.0 times. The minimal infection of the seeds of a new crop with fungi causing root rot in the experiment was noted when using the copper-containing fertilizer Metallocene against the background of the autumn application of manganese. The most cost-effective on seed crops of winter wheat were double foliar feeding with molybdenum and boron in combination with the autumn application of manganese (profitability - 71%, against 39% in control).
AGROECOLOGICAL ZONING OF THE TERRITORY OF KIROV REGION FOR OAT CROPS PLACEMENT
Authors: Mukhamadiarov Farzutdin , Permyakova Ekaterina
Published: July 2023

Oats are a valuable food and fodder crop, ranked sixth in world agricultural production. Between 2011 and 2021 in the region, the area of oat crops decreased by 7.9 thousand hectares or by 14.4%. In the structure of grain and leguminous crops, oats accounted for 14.9% in 2021. The crop productivity during the analyzed period varied from 13.0 c/ha (2013) to 24.2 c/ha (2019). During the study period, the average yield of oats was 20 q/ha with a variation coefficient of 16.9%. Gross grain production decreased by 480.79 thousand centners or by 41.5%, and amounted to 687.84 thousand centners in 2021. The purpose of the study is to identify agroecologically similar territories for guaranteed production of high-quality oat grain in Kirov region. The studies were carried out by analyzing the time series of crop yields with the allocation of the ecological component of its variability in the context of the municipal districts of the region over an 11-year period. To unite objects into classes, the method of pair-group association was used. As a result, 9 agroecologically similar territories were allocated to accommodate crops. The combined influence of environmental factors provides the most favorable conditions for placing oat crops in agroecologically similar territories No. 1, 3, 5. Here, a stable yield is obtained, characterized by low variability. The soil and climatic conditions of agroecologically similar territories No. 2, 4 are favorable for growing oats with a moderate level of variation. Agro-ecological conditions of agroecologically similar territories No. 6,7, 8, 9 limit the receipt of high and sustainable yields, therefore it is not recommended to grow oats in these areas. The results of agro-ecological zoning make it possible to determine the areas most suitable for obtaining a guaranteed crop yield and give recommendations for reducing areas with inefficient production.

Published: July 2023

Grain is one of the main elements of food security of both the country and the region. Without grain production, the development of the food industry, animal husbandry and other branches of the agro-industrial complex is impossible. Between 2001 and 2021 in the Kirov region, the sown areas of winter rye and oats decreased by almost 3 times, spring wheat by 2 times. In general, the decrease in the area under crops of grain and leguminous crops during the study period amounted to 353.2 thousand hectares or 53%. In the structure of crops, the shares of winter rye and oats significantly decreased against the background of an increase in the share of winter wheat crops. During the period under review, the productivity of grain and leguminous crops in the region varied from 12.6 c/ha in 2004 and 2006 to to 21.7 centners/ha in 2019. On average, 16.9 centners were collected per unit area during the study period, with a coefficient of variation of 17.9%. The constructed linear trend indicates a tendency for an average annual increase in yield by 0.3 c/ha. Average annual gross harvest of cereals and legumes 2015-2020 compared to 2001 - 2005 decreased by almost 20%. Grain production per capita declined significantly over the study period, amid a decline in livestock and poultry in the region.

Published: July 2023

The research was carried out in order to study the reaction of various spelled varieties to the application of calculated doses of fertilizer minerals in the conditions of the Middle Volga region. The work was carried out in 2020-2022 in Kama zone of the Republic of Tatarstan. The scheme of the field experiment involved the study of the following options: spelled variety (factor A) - Srednevolzhskaya (standard), Runo, Gremme (naked grain); application rate of mineral fertilizers (factor B) - based on a yield of 2.0 t/ha (N47P18K21), 2.5 t/ha (N59P23K26), 3.0 t/ha (N71P27K32). The soil of the experimental plot is a typical gray forest-steppe zone of Middle Volga region with a humus content of 3.4% according to Tyurin, mobile (according to Kirsanov) forms of phosphorus - 142 mg/kg of soil, potassium - 155 mg /kg of soil. The reaction of the soil environment was close to neutral (pHKCl 6.4). Among the three studied spelt varieties, the Runo cultivar stood out, the average yield of which increased in proportion to the application rates of NPK from 1.68 in the control to 2.72 t/ha in the variant with NPK, based on the formation of the spelled grain yield of 3.0 t/ha. However, from an economic point of view, the most profitable in the experiment was the estimated rate for achieving the planned grain yield of 2.5 t/ha, which, provided that the selling price is 15 thousand rubles/t, ensures the profitability of production of 56.8%, the cost of grain - 9.6 thousand rubles/t.

Authors: Rudometova Olga , Bogatyreva Anastasiya , Akmanaev El'mart
Published: July 2023

The research was carried out in order to study the influence of methods of preparing crops for harvesting on the yield and biochemical composition of seeds of spring rapeseed in the Middle Urals. The work was carried out in 2020-2021 on soddy medium podzolic heavy loamy soil in Perm region. The experiment scheme included the following options: treatment with Liposam, Bifactor glue, Tornado, Adekvat desiccants, and a combination of adhesive preparations with desiccants. A variety of Russian selection Ratnik and a hybrid of foreign selection Smilla were grown. Biochemical analysis of seeds was carried out by conventional methods. Average for 2020 and 2021 seed yield of spring rapeseed variety Ratnik and hybrid Smilla was at the same level. A similar picture was observed for the content of crude fat, ash and protein. The concentration of crude fiber was higher in the oil seeds of the Smilla hybrid (by 0.5%). Treatment with adhesives and desiccants only affected the productivity of the Smilla hybrid. Significant yield increases, compared with the control, were noted in the options Bifactor, Liposam + Adekvat, Bifactor + Tornado (0.28, 0.27 and 0.39 t/ha, respectively). In the same variants, the largest gross harvest of fat and crude protein per 1 ha was recorded (the increase, in relation to the control, was 1.4...1.6 times). A change in the biochemical composition of spring rapeseed oilseeds was noted, depending on the studied methods of preparing crops for harvesting. Variety Ratnik reacted with an increase in the content of crude fat and crude fiber when treated with Adekvat desiccant, as well as an increase in the content of crude ash when Liposam glue was used together with desiccants. The Smilla hybrid responded more strongly to the joint treatment with Bifactor adhesive with Tornado desiccant (crude fat content increased by 2.4%, crude protein by 1.8%). The content of raw ash in the oilseeds of the foreign hybrid was influenced by the use of preparations Bifactor, Tornado, Liposam+ Adekvat.

Authors: Timofeev Vyacheslav , V'yushina Ol'ga
Published: July 2023

Studies for the comparative evaluation of economic traits of spring wheat varieties of European ecological and geographical origin in cultivation in Tyumen region were conducted in 2018-2020. We studied varieties of spring wheat of local (Omskaya 36, Grenada, Aviada) and European ecological and geographical origin (Goplana, Mandarina, Arabella). The germinating ability, germinal development, seed contamination and seed dressing efficiency were determined under laboratory conditions. Field experiment was laid in the nursery of competitive variety trials, plot area 20 m2, biometric observations, yield and its quality were carried out. The soil of the experimental site is dark gray forest, heavy loam. Under laboratory conditions on day 7 of observation there was a difference in the development of germinal organs. The greatest length of roots was in the standard Omskaya 36 and Mandarin variety (13.7...14.1 cm) exceeding the other varieties on average by 15...20%. The sprout length of 16.3...16.5 cm was in the standard Omskaya 36 and variety Goplana, exceeding the other studied varieties by 15.9...40.6%. Seed infection in local varieties was present in the form of fungi p. Alternaria - 10...58%, p. Fusarium - 2...7%, Bipolaris sorokiniana - 0...4%, in foreign varieties - only p. Alternaria 0...7%. Grenada, Mandarina, Arabella varieties showed high resistance to root rot at the time of harvesting with disease development 15...36% lower than standard and 40...60 % lower than other varieties. Varieties of local selection (Omskaya 36, Grenada, Aviada) exceeded local varieties by Septoria nodorum by 3.0...9.6%, by brown rust Puccinia recondite by 1.0...3.4 % of varieties of European selection.

The main causes of malfunction of turbocharged internal combustion engines are high dynamic loads, significant thermal loads in friction zones, wear of turbocharger elements, overheating of components and systems, oil starvation, etc. The reliability of the output parameters of the turbochargers depending on the variable input data values. A condition has been obtained for the trouble-free operation of turbocharger bearings, taking into account oil pumping at engine start, which makes it possible to determine the limits of turbocharger performance and to exclude failure cases with a guarantee. A methodology has been developed for analyzing the sensitivity of the run-out time with oil parameters and turbocharger operation modes, which makes it possible to evaluate the correct operation of turbochargers of modern automotive vehicles in operation. The main test object is K27-145 turbocharger installed on KAMAZ vehicles. The rotor shaft speed, depending on the configuration, is 40.000...120.000 min-1. During the implementation of the experimental work, the working frequency range of rotation of the turbocharger rotor shaft was provided from 25.000 to 75.000 min-1. The levels of variation of rotational speeds were chosen from the condition of providing the maximum frequency - 75000 min-1, the frequency corresponding to average loads - 50000 min-1 and the minimum at which the boost pressure rises to the level of atmospheric pressure - 25000 min-1. The results of the experiment, carried out within a wide range of changes in the input parameters of the oil at the input values of the oil pressure - 0.1 ... 0.4 MPa and the temperatures of the input oil into the bearing - 50 ... run-out from variable input parameters. The run-out time of K27-145 turbocharger rotor at speeds of 25.000, 50.000 and 75.000 min-1 is 10.3…14.8 s, respectively; 28.1…34.4 s; 38.6…47.1 s. The sensitivity of the run-out time with an increase in the rotational speed from 25000 to 75000 min-1 with a variation of 25000 min-1 increases and for the same frequency values it is - 6.6 ... 8.3 s/MPa; 10.6…14.3 s/MPa; 12.0…18.6 s/MPa. Control of run-out time sensitivity parameters allows to determine the quality of the process of assembly and running-in of turbocharger units in the factory, in operation - the correct functioning and resource of the turbocharger. The developed method of rundown control is recommended for machine-building, car service and training organizations.

Differential Performance in Musical Chord and Grammaticality Judgement Tasks in Post-stroke Aphasia
Authors: Jung Ye Young , Sung Jee Eun
Published: July 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differential performance on musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks in post-stroke aphasia. The accuracy of musical chord judgement task and grammaticality judgement tasks were analyzed, and the correlation between grammaticality judgement task and the severity of aphasia was examined. Methods: Fourteen individuals with aphasia and fifteen adults without aphasia participated in the study. The subject listened to a presented voice and was asked to determine whether the musical chord connection was natural and whether there was a grammatical error in the sentence. Results: First, People With Aphasia (PWA) showed significantly lower accuracy in the grammaticality judgement task compared to adults without aphasia. Second, PWA showed significantly lower accuracy in the musical chord judgement task compared to adults without aphasia. Third, the accuracy of the grammaticality judgement task was the most predictable variable of the severity of aphasia by 37.9%. Conclusion: PWA showed significantly lower accuracy in musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks compared with normal adults, suggesting that PWA have difficulties in performing musical and grammatical tasks. Since damage to the brain structures affects music and language ability, PWA showed poorer performance on both musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks. Moreover, grammaticality in Korean has an important role in this task. Thus, producing various treatment protocols of grammar comprehension is important because grammaticality is an important linguistic feature in comprehending sentences in Korean.
Comparison of Remote-Audiovisual Teaching and Face-to-Face Teaching on Factors Causing Teacher’s Voice Problems and Subjective Voice Evaluation
Authors: Jung Ji Hang , Kim Jaeock
Published: July 2023

Objectives: Due to the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19), many remote-audiovisual teaching methods have been introduced. Remote-audiovisual teaching may lead to changes in teacher’s voice usage patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to compare between remote-audiovisual teaching and traditional face-to-face teaching methods in regards to the factors that affect teacher’s voice problems and subjective voice evaluation. Methods: This study investigated whether there was significant difference between two teaching methods on the risk factors (environment, physical, vocal use, psychological) causing voice problems and subjective voice evaluations (vocal effort ratings, vocal tract discomfort scale). Seventy-nine teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools participated in this study. Results: Face-to-face teaching had significantly higher scores when compared with remote-audiovisual teaching for environmental and voice use factors. For psychological factors, remote-audiovisual teaching showed significantly higher scores than face-to-face teaching. There were no significant differences in physical factors between the two teaching methods. In subjective voice evaluation, face-to-face teaching showed significantly higher scores compared to remote-audiovisual teaching in vocal effort ratings and frequency and severity of vocal tract discomfort scale. Conclusion: This study shows that teachers not only require more vocal loading and vocal effort in face-to-face teaching compared to remote-audiovisual teaching, but also experience high vocal discomfort. Therefore, that the results of this study suggest that the remote-audiovisual teaching method allows teachers to use their voice more comfortably in comparison to face-to-face teaching.
Analysis of Errors in Sentence Repetition by Subgroups of Children with Speech Sound Disorders
Authors: Pi Minkyeong , Ha Seunghee
Published: July 2023

Objectives: Sentence repetition tasks (SRTs) are clinically useful tasks for examining working memory ability and discriminating residual language delay. This study aims to examine sentence repetition skills by groups of children with SSDs and analyze error types and morphosyntactic strengths and weaknesses in SRTs. Methods: Thirty-four children aged 5-7 years with SSDs were classified into groups with articulation disorders, phonological delays, and phonological disorders. SRTs were conducted, and errors in SRTs were analyzed in terms of lexical and grammatical morphemes and children’s sentence repetition (SR) skills were examined by two scoring systems including or excluding articulation errors. Results: In SRTs, children with phonological disorders showed more omission errors; in particular, omission of grammatical morphemes, and sentence paraphrase errors were more frequent. Children with phonological disorders showed more lexical grammatical morpheme errors than the other subgroups. Even in the scoring system that reflects both language and articulation errors, children with phonological disorders showed a lower performance than children with articulation disorders. Conclusion: Children with phonological disorders exhibited morphosyntactic weakness by showing greater difficulties in repeating grammatical morphemes accurately in SRTs. This finding suggests that systematic grammar intervention should be addressed for children with phonological disorders.
It’s not my sense of self that’s unstable, it’s the world’s sense of me: the harms of the construct of ‘personality disorders’ towards transgender communities
Authors: Porter Hattie
Published: July 2023

Research indicates transgender people are more likely to be diagnosed with a personality disorder than cisgender people. While this interrelationship is complex and multifaceted, this article discusses the disproportionate rates of personality disorder diagnosis in transgender people as rooted within social and historical contexts; suggesting transgender people are not more likely to have a personality disorder, rather they are more likely to be diagnosed with a personality disorder.

Transgender identities have historically been framed as a manifestation of mental illness as opposed to an identity and inherent aspect of personhood. This is argued to confine understanding of transgender identities to the parameters of pathology, silencing and marginalising transgender communities. I suggest the disproportionate rate of diagnosis of personality disorders in transgender people is an extension of this historical pathologisation.

Clinician bias may contribute to inappropriate diagnosis of personality disorders in transgender people due to personal values and unfamiliarity with transgender experiences. However, bias is also more deeply rooted within the construct of personality disorders itself, which appears to inherently pathologise deviation from rigid gender norms and expectations. This has implications for the ethical and ontological basis of the diagnostic construct.
The lability and liability of female ‘borderline’ sexuality: a feminist Foucauldian discourse analysis of Thompson et al’s (2017) ‘Sexuality and sexual health among female youth with borderline personality disorder pathology’
Authors: Fellows Nina K.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this discourse study is to deconstruct how a journal article published in Early Intervention in Psychiatry, ‘Sexuality and sexual health among female youth with borderline personality disorder pathology’ (Thompson et al, 2017), constructs the sexuality of young women diagnosed with ‘borderline personality disorder’. The methodology used was Foucauldian discourse analysis, following Hook’s (2001) recommendation to re-situate a text within its socio-political location and among its material correlates, as well as analysing its intra-textual discursive features. The process of analysis involved repeated close readings of the text by Thompson et al (2017), with a focus on binary oppositions within the text, and the power/knowledge nexus in which it is situated. The analysis identified three key discourses at work in the text: the discourse of the academy, the discourse of dichotomy, and the discourse of ‘borderline’ sexuality, which contains a conceptually unstable paradox concerning female ‘borderline’ sexual agency. The consequences of these findings, their historical context, and implications for practice and classification are discussed.
Donations or statutory funding? Exploring the funding of historical childhood sexual abuse support services in England and Wales
Authors: Hughes Kate
Published: July 2023

The voluntary sector provides specialist services to survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) though little research exists on how these organisations are funded. This research using a multi-method design explores the funding landscape of the CSA sector. Analysis of the financial returns of 48 charities supporting survivors was undertaken to ascertain income breakdown and to identify whether this has changed over time. Semi-structured interviews with ten organisations explore the attributes of the funding approaches taken. Findings highlight that funding has increased, and the sector, while providing a vital service, is dependent on the state to do so. Commissioning is inconsistent and is a relational process depending on the skills of and relationships between those involved, resulting in varying provision across the country. Findings contribute towards the growing knowledge base around funding of CSA charities and point towards the need for the state to improve its commissioning of such organisations.

Authors: Pisharody Stephanie
Published: July 2023

Fundraising is essential to the voluntary sector. Giving clubs, where donors are publicly recognised for a gift at a specific level, are prolific in the context of university and arts fundraising to support giving. However, there is little known about their role in other cause areas. This paper examines giving clubs in UK health and disability charities and explores the benefits and challenges they offer to fundraisers working in UK nonprofit organisations.
