Authors: Kalokhe Shifa A. , Sonawane Rohit , Devdikar Shrutik , Narshetty G. S.
Published: January 2023

Background: Intestinal anastomosis dates to ancient eras and hand sewn intestinal anastomosis is the most used technique worldwide. Various complications following bowel anastomoses are anastomotic leak resulting into peritonitis, abscess, fistula, necrosis, stricture. Various factors contribute to these complications including suturing technique. Leakage from the bowel anastomoses complication and accounts for about 1.3 to 7.7%, that is often associated with increased morbidity and mortality and prolonged stay. This comparative study endeavours to compare outcome of extra-mucosal interrupted single layer versus continuous all layers intestinal anastomosis in small and large bowel in terms of duration required to perform intestinal anastomosis, post-operative complications like anastomotic leak, duration of hospital stay in each group Aim of the present study was to compare time required to perform anastomosis and to compare the rate of postoperative complications and hospital duration.
Methods: Based on detailed history, clinical examination and radiological investigations; patients were allotted in either group A or B. Group A: Bowel Anastomosis done by single layer (20 Patients) and Group B: Bowel anastomosis done by double layer (20 Patients). Time required to perform anastomosis and post op complications was assessed and compared.
Results:  In this prospective study of 40 patients, it was found that Group A required an average of 17 minutes and Group B required 24 minutes for anastomosis. The rate of postoperative complications were found to be similar in both groups. The mean hospital stay was also found to be similar.
Conclusions: Thus, from this prospective comparative study, we conclude that both extra mucosal interrupted single layer and continuous all layer anastomosis have operative technical challenges and similar postoperative outcomes.

Published: January 2023

Water is a very important natural resource that is needed by all living things in all their life activities. Research related to water and how to use water resources is an important issue. The amount of fresh water available on earth is only about 25% of the total water. The aim of this study is to identify potential aquifers with the geoelectric method. This can be a consideration in determining the right location of the well in relation to efforts to obtain potential groundwater resources to meet the needs of raw water, both in terms of quantity and quality. The method used is a field survey by making observations including rock permeability measurements, infiltration, laboratory and studio work. Field work also includes geoelectric measurements, observations of groundwater levels and land use, and analysis of aquifers to determine the location of drill points that have the potential to be developed. The results show that the supply of raw water for a number of locations spread across Gunungkidul Regency is very much needed, considering that in the dry season there is a shortage of water. Groundwater conditions using the Schlumberger Method show that they have sufficient raw water potential, but in terms of depth and discharge, each location is different from one another. Planning for borehole construction is highly recommended, and planning is adjusted to the amount of demand and availability of raw water.

E-commerce platforms are in the development trend of differentiation and vertical segmentation, and quality content output will become the core competitiveness of new e-commerce platforms. This study investigated data from 226 consumers of the Taobao live streaming shopping platform. This study incorporates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with Social Presence Theory to investigate the experiential factors and system characteristics that psychologically influence users' behavioral intentions. The empirical results show that interactivity has a significant positive effect on purchase intention, and social presence, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness play a mediating role in the process of interactivity affecting purchase intention. This research can help enterprises and merchants innovate system features and improve the user experience for their customers.
On the Misappropriation of Spatial Metaphors in Online Learning
Authors: Dron Jon
Published: January 2023

In online educational systems, teachers often replicate pedagogical methods, and online institutions replicate systems and structures used by their in-person counterparts, the only purpose of which was to solve problems created by having to teach in a physical environment. Likewise, virtual learning environments often attempt to replicate features of their physical counterparts, thereby weakly replicating in software the problems that in-person teachers had to solve. This has contributed to a vicious circle of problem creation and problem solving that benefits no one. In this paper I argue that the term ‘environment’ is a dangerously misleading metaphor for the online systems we build to support learning, that leads to poor pedagogical choices and weak digital solutions. I propose an alternative metaphor of infrastructure and services that can enable more flexible, learner-driven, and digitally native ways of designing systems (including the tools, pedagogies, and structures) to support learning.

Published: January 2023

Purpose of the study: The current study aims to understand the need for developing customer loyalty with the influence of Satisfaction and trust in private label brands. Methodology: Descriptive research design was used to evaluate the developed model and test the importance of Satisfaction and trust in developing customer loyalty. The influence of trust between Satisfaction and customer loyalty was tested using the Baron Method of mediation and validated using the Sobel test for mediation. The research included 92 respondents from Peshawar city using the snowball sampling method. The study used simple linear regression analysis to find the influence of variables on each other. Main Findings: The results found that Satisfaction positively and significantly influences customer loyalty. In addition, the outcomes indicated that trust partially mediates the association between Satisfaction and trust. Applications of the study: The managers/retailers can work on developing trust among the customers for their private label brands. The strategies can be created for the same by incorporating the output of Satisfaction to gain customers' loyalty. Trust can be an added advantage for any business, and Satisfaction is reddened to the customers through products and services. Novelty/Originality of the study: This is the first study that has measured customer satisfaction and customer loyalty with the mediating role of trust with such rich variables in a developing economy like Pakistan.
SURVIVAL UNDER DURESS: ANARCHIST CRITIQUE OF THINNER THAN SKIN
Authors: Malik Shaista , Shakoor Abdul , Shah Ayaz Muhammad , Riaz Wajid
Published: January 2023

Purpose of the study: This study used an Anarchist framework to prove that Thinner than Skin by Uzma Aslam Khan explores the causes of the peripheral communities' shared precariousness and their fight to sustain and conserve life in a world encroached upon by civilization.

Methodology: Using Anarchist's (Manicardi, 2012; Zerzan, 2006, Bookchin, 2005) framework that believes that this materialistic worldview can be refuted only by unveiling the oppressive conditions of our modern existence, looking for remedy of people's unbearable misery is tantamount to finding a cure for these miseries. Further, the research is qualitative and analytical in nature, using close textual analysis.

Main Findings: The paper finds that Khan highlights the precarious condition of peripheral communities residing in the Northern region of Pakistan. The analysis has proved that Khan's fiction, particularly her novel Thinner than Skin expresses her anarchist vision and shows her detest for modern civilization which being steeped in anthropocentric ideology subjects all forms of life to extinction

Applications of the study: The paper helps to identify in future studies that how perpherial people are kept oppressed and marginalized, and how they will be given agentic position to represent themesevels rather they are represented.

Novelty/Originality of the study: The study is about nomadic tribes, residing in the womb of Himalayan ranges are subjected to a number of problems including natural disasters such as floods and climatic shifts which causes glacial melt and threatens to drown the adjacent areas in a few decades only to satiate big businesses' thirst for profit. The state fails miserably to defend its citizens from political and economic turmoil because the state serves as handmaiden to western countries and the business interests of their business tycoons.

Published: January 2023

Purpose of the study: In this study, the authors analyzed of the use of capital budgeting methods (CBM) by Polish companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The study's main objective was to investigate the practice of capital budgeting in companies operating in Poland and listed on the WSE, especially to analyze the dispersion of capital budgeting methods and the factors influencing their selection. Methodology: For achieve the research objectives, a survey method was chosen. The authors received 34 correctly completed questionnaires (from 252, the return rate was 13.5. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with the use of Statistica were used in the study. Main Findings: The survey indicated that CBMs are relatively frequently applied in particular; IRR was used (often or always) by 64.7 per cent of companies and NPV by 60.6 per cent of companies. The analysis of company characteristics shows that the use of CBM is influenced by the origin of equity, managerial ownership, employment, and foreign sales (all independent variables are statistically significant). Applications of the study: The authors believe that the study's results will be of interest to researchers in other countries and will fill a gap in the management accounting literature. The study's results may also be useful from a practical point of view. Novelty/Originality of the study: The survey shows a large sample of companies, what CBMs are used by Polish companies and how often they are used. A broader set of explanatory variables was also used, which allows for a comprehensive description of campaign practices and makes it possible to analyze whether and which companies' practices are consistent with previous studies.
Small world of the miRNA science drives its publication dynamics
Authors: Firsov A. B. , Titov I. I.
Published: January 2023

Many scientific articles became available in the digital form which allows for querying articles data, and specifically the automated metadata gathering, which includes the affiliation data. This in turn can be used in the quantitative characterization of the scientific field, such as organizations identification, and analysis of the co-authorship graph of those organizations to extract the underlying structure of science. In our work, we focus on the miRNA science field, building the organization co-authorship network to provide the higher-level analysis of scientific community evolution rather than analyzing author-level characteristics. To tackle the problem of the institution name writing variability, we proposed the k-mer/n-gram boolean feature vector sorting algorithm, KOFER in short. This approach utilizes the fact that the contents of the affiliation are rather consistent for the same organization, and to account for writing errors and other organization name variations within the affiliation metadata field, it converts the organization mention within the affiliation to the K-Mer (n-gram) Boolean presence vector. Those vectors for all affiliations in the dataset are further lexicographically sorted, forming groups of organization mentions. With that approach, we clustered the miRNA field affiliation dataset and extracted unique organization names, which allowed us to build the co-authorship graph on the organization level. Using this graph, we show that the growth of the miRNA field is governed by the small-world architecture of the scientific institution network and experiences power-law growth with exponent 2.64 ± 0.23 for organization number, in accordance with network diameter, proposing the growth model for emerging scientific fields. The first miRNA publication rate of an organization interacting with already publishing organization is estimated as 0.184 ± 0.002 year–1.

It is generally accepted that during the domestication of food plants, selection was focused on their productivity, the ease of their technological processing into food, and resistance to pathogens and environmental stressors. Besides, the palatability of plant foods and their health benefits could also be subjected to selection by humans in the past. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether in antiquity, aside from positive selection for beneficial properties of plants, humans simultaneously selected against such detrimental properties as allergenicity. This topic is becoming increasingly relevant as the allergization of the population grows, being a major challenge for modern medicine. That is why intensive research by breeders is already underway for creating hypoallergenic forms of food plants. Accordingly, in this paper, albumin, globulin, and β­amylase of common wheat Triticum aestivum L. (1753) are analyzed, which have been identified earlier as targets for attacks by human class E immunoglobulins. At the genomic level, we wanted to find signs of past negative selection against the allergenicity of these three proteins (albumin, globulin, and β­amylase) during the domestication of ancestral forms of modern food plants. We focused the search on the TATA­binding protein (TBP)­binding site because it is located within a narrow region (between positions –70 and –20 relative to the corresponding transcription start sites), is the most conserved, necessary for primary transcription initiation, and is the best­studied regulatory genomic signal in eukaryotes. Our previous studies presented our publicly available Web service Plant_SNP_TATA_Z­tester, which makes it possible to estimate the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of TBP complexes with plant proximal promoters (as output data) using 90 bp of their DNA sequences (as input data). In this work, by means of this bioinformatics tool, 363 gene promoter DNA sequences representing 43 plant species were analyzed. It was found that compared with non­food plants, food plants are characterized by significantly weaker affinity of TBP for proximal promoters of their genes homologous to the genes of commonwheat globulin, albumin, and β­amylase (food allergens) (p< 0.01, Fisher’s Z­test). This evidence suggests that in the past humans carried out selective breeding to reduce the expression of food plant genes encoding these allergenic proteins.
FastContext: A tool for identification of adapters and other sequence patterns in next generation sequencing (NGS) data
Authors: Viesná E. , Fishman V.
Published: January 2023

The development of next generation sequencing (NGS) methods has created the need for detailed analysis and control of each protocol step. NGS library preparation protocols may include steps with incorporation of various service sequences, such as sequencing adapters, primers, sample-, cell-, and molecule-specific barcodes. Despite a fairly high level of current knowledge, during the protocol development process researches often have to deal with various kinds of unexpected experiment outcomes, which result either from lack of information, lack of knowledge, or defects in reagent manufacturing. Detection and analysis of service sequences, their distribution and linkage may provide important information for protocol optimization. Here we introduce FastContext, a tool designed to analyze NGS read structure, based on sequence features found in reads, and their relative position in the read. The algorithm is able to create human readable read structures with user-specified patterns, to calculate counts and percentage of every read structure. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm, FastContext may be useful in read structure analysis and, as a result, can help better understand molecular processes that take place at different stages of NGS library preparation. The project is open-source software, distributed under GNU GPL v3, entirely written in the programming language Python, and based on well-maintained packages and commonly used data formats. Thus, it is cross-platform, may be patched or upgraded by the user if necessary. The FastContext package is available at the Python Package Index (https://pypi. org/project/FastContext), the source code is available at GitHub (https://github.com/regnveig/FastContext).
Unique or not unique? Comparative genetic analysis of bacterial O-antigens from the Oxalobacteraceae family
Authors: Afonnikova S. D. , Komissarov A. S. , Kuchur P. D.
Published: January 2023

Many plants and animals have symbiotic relationships with microorganisms, including bacteria. The interactions between bacteria and their hosts result in different outcomes for the host organism. The outcome can be neutral, harmful or have beneficial effects for participants. Remarkably, these relationships are not static, as they change throughout an organism’s lifetime and on an evolutionary scale. One of the structures responsible for relationships in bacteria is O-antigen. Depending on the characteristics of its components, the bacteria can avoid the host’s immune response or establish a mutualistic relationship with it. O-antigen is a key component in Gram-negative bacteria’s outer membrane. This component facilitates interaction between the bacteria and host immune system or phages. The variability of the physical structure is caused by the genomic variability of genes encoding O-antigen synthesis components. The genes and pathways of O-polysaccharide (OPS) synthesis were intensively investigated mostly for Enterobacteriaceae species. Considering high genetic and molecular diversity of this structure even between strains, these findings may not have caught the entire variety possibly presented in non-model species. The current study presents a comparative analysis of genes associated with O-antigen synthesis in bacteria of the Oxalobacteraceae family. In contrast to existing studies based on PCR methods, we use a bioinformatics approach and compare O- anti gens at the level of clusters rather than individual genes. We found that the O-antigen genes of these bacteria are represented by several clusters located at a distance from each other. The greatest similarity of the clusters is observed within individual bacterial genera, which is explained by the high variability of O-antigens. The study describes similarities of OPS genes inherent to the family as a whole and also considers individual unique cases of O-antigen genetic variability inherent to individual bacteria.

يهدف هذا البحث إلى فهم دقيق لكيفية حياة سكان مدينة مالانج وتفسير تقاليد إنشاد شعر «لي خمسة» كممارسة للتعاليم الدينية القادرة على درء تفشي كوفيد-19. يستند هذا البحث إلى منهج البحث الفينومنولوجي، ووجد هذا البحث أن إنشاد شعر «لي خمسة» هو الممارسة للدعاء وطلب الشفاعة والتوسل. فالتوسل هو التقرب إلى الله تعالى بطاعته وعبادته واتباع أنبيائه ورسله وكل عمل يحبه الله ويرضاه، وهي السلاح النهائي في التعامل مع تفشي فيروس كوفيد-19. هذا التقليد هو وضع سياق للتعاليم الدينية القادرة على تقوية الإيمان في مواجهة تفشي كوفيد-19، كإحياء الإسلام والشفاء الذاتي. تماشياً مع ذلك، اقترح هذا البحث طريقة للتعامل مع حالات تفشي المرض ليس فقط من خلال التأكيد على البروتوكولات الصحية والإجراءات الطبية ولكن أيضًا الانتباه إلى أهمية ثقافة الممارسات الدينية المجتمعية، والتي لا تعمل فقط على رعاية الممارسات الدينية، ولكن أيضا الحفظ على الحكمة المحلية. This study aims to understand in depth how the people of the city of Malang live and interpret the tradition of reading Li Khomsatun’s poetry as a practice of religious teachings that can ward off the COVID-19 outbreak. This study is based on a phenomenological study approach and finds that reading Li Khomsatun’s poetry is a practice of prayer, intercession, and tawassul, which is the ultimate weapon in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. This tradition contextualizes religious teachings that can strengthen faith in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak as self-healing and living Islam. In line with that, this study suggests a method of handling outbreaks by emphasizing health protocols and medical procedures and paying attention to the importance of the culture and culture of community religious practices, which not only function to care for religious practices but also maintain local wisdom.
Sexual Agreements, Substance Use, Binge Drinking, and Bidirectional Physical Intimate Partner Violence Among Male Couples in the United States
Authors: Stephenson Rob , Chavanduka Tanaka MD , Sullivan Stephen , Mitchell Jason W.
Published: January 2023

Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at rates comparable to heterosexual women. Previous studies have identified that having a sexual agreement—an explicit agreement around sex permitted outside of the relationship—is associated with reductions in IPV. This article uses data from a sample of 967 partnered GBMSM to examine associations between individual use of substances and alcohol, discordant partner reports of sexual agreements, and the self-reporting of bidirectional IPV. Men who reported different sexual agreements than their partners and recently engaged in substance use or binge drinking had significantly increased odds of IPV. Dyadic interventions are necessary to assist couples in developing the communication skills to successfully navigate both their substance use and discussions around sexual agreements.
Caste and Gender Backlash: A Study of the #MeToo Movement in Tertiary Education in Kolkata, India
Authors: Sanyal Madhurima
Published: January 2023

In the light of the #MeToo movement, this paper explores how the positionality (in terms of caste and class) of female university students in Kolkata, India is employed as an instrument of backlash to pushback their efforts at making progressive change with regard to sexual harassment. The study includes an analysis of six semi-structured interviews based on an amalgamation of conventional and alternate understandings of backlash. It argues that conventional and alternate understandings are not independent of each other, but are interlinked and exist side by side. Backlash silences women and forestalls their demands and pushes crucial gender issues to the backburner.
Grasping Patriarchal Backlash: A Brief for Smarter Countermoves
Authors: Edstrom Jerker , Khan Ayesha , Greig Alan , Skinner Chloe
Published: January 2023

Nearly three decades ago the UN World Conference on Women at Beijing appeared to be uniting the international community around the most progressive platform for women’s rights in history. Instead of steady advancement, we have seen uneven progress, backsliding, co-option, and a recent rising tide of patriarchal backlash. The global phenomenon of ‘backlash’ is characterised by resurgent misogyny, homo/transphobia, and attacks on sexual and reproductive rights. It is articulated through new forms of patriarchal politics associated with racialised hyper-nationalist agendas, traditionalism, authoritarianism, and alterations to civic space that have become all too familiar both in the global North and South. A wide range of actors and articulations are involved and influenced by underlying drivers and dynamics. A clearer view of the patriarchal nature of current backlash is a prerequisite for building a cohesive movement to counter it, strategically engaging researchers, activists, policymakers and donors in development.

Violence on children has become a big unsolvable problem in Indonesian education. In fact, the government has ratified some Laws to protect them from any form of violence. Likely, Islam as the mostly followed religion in the country does the same through its mission called rahmatan li al-alamin or blessing for all. This research relies on a question on how far the Indonesian rules and Islamic law concern on this issue by protecting children from any violence. Using qualitative method in the law research and documentary analysis, it is found that the Indonesian Laws have been sufficient for that purpose as they prohibit all forms of violence against students. Along with it, the perpetrators deserve for punishment due to the mistakes level while the victims deserve for recovery and trauma healing to grow their optimism. In line with that, Islamic law also prohibits any violence because it breaks the purpose of shariah, namely enforcing the goodness (maslahah) and avoiding the harm (mudarat). However, Islamic law still tolerates hitting a child for the sake of education and their goodness as long it is performed softly and becoming the very last option. Both laws, therefore, strengthen each other to protect children from any form of violence mainly at the education sphere.

لا يزال العنف نحو الأطفال في عالم التربية مشكلة كبيرة لم يتم حلها، وخاصة في إندونيسيا.  في الواقع، وضعت الحكومة عددا من القوانين واللوائح لحماية الأطفال من العنف. وبالمثل، فإن الإسلام – وهو دين غالبية سكان إندونيسيا - موجود ليكون رحمة للعالمين.  والسؤال الذي نركز عليه في هذا البحث هو، كيف تحمي القوانين واللوائح   الحالية الطلاب من أعمال العنف، وكيف تولي الشريعة الإسلامية اهتماما للحد من العنف على الأطفال؟  ومن خلال المنهج النوعي مع البحوث القانونية وتحليل الوثائق، تبين أن القوانين واللوائح الموجودة كافية لحماية الأطفال من العنف. فالأنظمة القائمة، تمنع جميع أشكال العنف ضد الطلاب، حيث يجب معاقبة الجناة وفقا لدرجة الخطأ والذنب، ويجب تقديم المساعدة للضحية للقضاء على الصدمة وتعزيز التفاؤل، ويجب التعاون من جميع الأطراف التصدي للعنف معا. من جهة أخرى، فإن الشريعة الإسلامية تمنع وتحظر العنف ضد الأطفال لأنه يتعارض مع الغرض من الشريعة الإسلامية، وهو تحقيق الصلاح ورفع الضرر.  ومع ذلك، فإن الشريعة الإسلامية تنص على السماح باستخدام العنف للأغراض التربوية من أجل مصلحة الطفل، ولكن يجب أن يتم ذلك بحذر بعناية وكملاذ أخير بعد استخدام جميع الأساليب الأخرى. إن القوانين واللوائح في إندونيسيا والشريعة الإسلامية تعزز بعضها البعض بشكل أساسي لحماية الأطفال من العنف، وخاصة في مجال التربية.

This research paper aims to study the "temporary endowment" (Waqf Muaqqat) and its role in activating social financing in Islamic banking in Malaysia, such as the oriental study in the light of the purposes of Islamic law. This article has adopted the qualitative method in its research which correlates to the theorization and regulation of the concepts of the issues in hand in their different dimensions which is jurisprudence, Maqasid, and banking. For the case study “Maybank Islamic” has been selected for viewing and assessing the various aspects related to the said topic. The study also included interviews with some experts of Islamic banking in Malaysia. The study has stemmed the following conclusions and recommendations, which are as follows: 1) Islamic banks have a significant role in intermediating between both the sources of voluntary social financing and the deprived classes of the society, 2) Bank endowments (Waqf) through May Islamic Bank has shown substantial contributions in the social financing. The study further has found many possibilities of making it more effective and expand its reach using the tool of temporary endowment, 3) Temporary bank endowment contributes to achieving the objectives of social cooperation (Takaful), financial growth, and social justices through the medium of Islamic banks. The article concludes by stating that social financing of banks needs various other tools of temporary endowment (Waqf Muaqqat) to help the deprived classes and to extend its reach to meet the requirements for a comprehensive and inclusive development of the overall society.

O objetivo das análises foi verificar o comportamento da concentração de Sólidos Suspensos Totais (SST) e durante eventos de precipitação, em duas microbacias com monitoramento hidrológico em Lídice, Rio Claro – RJ. A microbacia do Rio Papudos, com mosaico de cobertura com pastagem e floresta em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento, e a microbacia do Córrego da Cachoeira, considerada uma unidade testemunha, por possuir o predomínio da cobertura com floresta, e em unidades de conservação (Parque Cunhambebe e RPPN Sambaíba). A caracterização do uso e cobertura do solo foi realizada a partir do software ArcGis 10.6 com a imagem do ano de 2019, do satélite Sentinel 2. Os resultados demonstraram que ocorreu diferenças nas respostas hidrológicas para SST entre as duas microbacias. Foi possível verificar um potencial de redução na geração de SST em 94% relacionado à cobertura florestal, o que contribui para a validação de simulações e quantificação da provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos hidrológicos de florestas.

There have been numerous young people with hypertension and need treatment. The treatment measures experienced have side effects and are felt throughout life. Efforts to reduce side effects require non-pharmacological measures, incorporate effleurage back massage. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of effleurage back massage on vital signs, oxygen saturation, and anxiety of patients with primary hypertension aged 45-54 years. The method in this study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design approach. The sample of this study were patients with primary hypertension aged 45-54 years who received regular treatment at UPTD Kesehatan (Health Unit) in Blitar City area, as many as 101 patients (51 treatment groups, 50 control groups). The inclusion criteria of patients were having a systolic blood pressure of 140-180 mmHg and diastolic 90-100 mmHg, obtaining a maximum of 2 standard antihypertensive treatments and not smoking. The analysis administered descriptive, time series, t-test and ANOVA. The results of this study presented that after the effleurage back massage, there was a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 13.88 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure of 10.08 mmHg, pulse 9.76 times per minute and respiration 0.67 times per minute. Effleurage back massage is effective if it is performed after 5 times and it spends time for the next massage to pause. Back massage can be performed alone by patients with hypertension every week for 20 minutes each massage.

Introduction: Head and neck cancers remain a significant health burden worldwide. Standardizing the care provided to these patients through the systematic measurement of established indicators is key to improve their outcomes. The aim of this study was to establish a relevant set of outcome indicators in this condition and identify measurement tools and requirements to do so.Methods: One scientific committee and two regional working groups worked in a stepwise manner to narrow down an initial list of potential outcome indicators retrieved from an exhaustive literature review to a smaller set of outcome indicators according to their clinical practice. This was assessed by one representative of a head and neck cancer patient association until a final set of indicators was reached.Results: A total of 164 outcome indicators comprising case-mix, outcomes, and adverse events dimensions were retrieved from the literature. These were reduced to a working set of 79 outcome indicators by the Scientific Committee and divided into seven categories including demographics, clinical status, tumor-related parameters, nutritional status, treatment, health and quality of life parameters and survival. Subsequently, these indicators were further reduced to a set of 50 indicators by the regional working groups and to a set of 49 indicators by the final Scientific Committee assessment. Finally, the discussed indicators were appraised by a head and neck cancer patient association, which added the ‘rehabilitation’ category, a key parameter to these patients.Conclusion: An initial set of outcome indicators for head and neck cancer was systematically developed aiming to standardize the care provided to these patients across institutions at national level and identify measurement tools and requirements to measure those indicators. This standard set should be continuously improved and consistently adopted in the different clinical and national settings.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a common, chronic, and inflammatory skin disorder with a high personal, social and economic burden and important implications for healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to provide an epidemiological characterization of individuals with psoriasis in Portugal.Material and Methods: A large observational, cross-sectional, nationwide, population-based survey study developed by the Portuguese Psoriasis Group of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology (GPP-SPDV). A structured questionnaire was designed and applied by experienced interviewers to a random, representative sample of Portuguese individuals with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis. Patients were considered to have psoriasis if they replied positively to one of the following questions: “Does any physician have ever diagnosed you with psoriasis?” or “Do you have a skin disorder characterized by scaling, reddish skin lesions located in the elbows/knees/scalp?”.Results: A total of 6381 individuals were interviewed, of which 283 met the criteria for psoriasis, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 4.4% (95% CI 3.95 – 4.98). Out of the participants that met psoriasis criteria, 24% had suggestive signs/symptoms but did not have a clinical diagnosis established and were not being monitored by a physician. Although more than 70% of participants had active disease (scaling, erythema, or pruritus) and one third had joint symptoms, only 12% were on systemic treatment. Fifty percent of participants with psoriasis (n = 139) had relevant comorbidities (most frequently depression/anxiety and cardiometabolic diseases). Sixteen percent of participants with psoriasis (n = 46) reported that psoriasis interfered with their daily activities (median impact of 5 in a 0 – 10 scale) and 12% mentioned the disease had an impact in their sexual life (median impact of 5 in a 0 – 10 scale).Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the prevalence rate of psoriasis is likely to be high in Portugal, and several gaps exist at different levels of healthcare delivery to these patients, from diagnosis to treatment. This study provides important data for the future planning of interventions targeting the improvement of psoriasis care in Portugal.
Apresentação - Imagens e religião

Foi no marco da XX Jornadas sobre Alternativas Religiosas da América Latina que o debate, agora publicado em Ciencias Sociales y Religión / Ciências Sociais e Religião, ocorreu. Na comissão organizadora do evento, optamos por substituir o tradicional formato das conferências por um modelo que estivesse mais adequado àquilo que tanto desejamos proporcionar durante os dois anos de isolamento social: dialogar presencialmente. Para isso, convidamos dois pesquisadores dedicados ao tema da religião e empenhados na produção de imagens para compor um dueto: Mattijs van de Port, antropólogo holandês, e Hugo José Suárez, sociólogo mexicano. Nenhum dos dois se conheciam, tampouco a produção um do outro, de modo que o evento foi literalmente um encontro inédito para todos. De minha parte, quando os contatei, meu ímpeto era o de convidá-los a conversarem sobre as suas produções acadêmicas em um ambiente público. Coube à Renata Menezes, antropóloga brasileira, o papel de dar o pontapé inicial para que a conversa continuasse entre o dueto de conferencistas e a plateia.

A study that was designed to assess entrepreneurial awareness of final year undergraduate students as a factor of their attitude towards adopting entrepreneurship as a career choice was conducted at a rural area-based university in Limpopo Province of South Africa. A survey questionnaire was administered to 310 final year students registered for various degrees in the eight schools that constituted the university. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Crosstabulation, correlation analysis and Mann Whitney tests were carried out using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. Entrepreneurial awareness among the students marginally influenced their attitudes towards a career in entrepreneurship. Overall, male and female students held similar views with respect to the influence of awareness of entrepreneurship among final year undergraduate students on their attitude towards self-employment (P > 0.05). It was recommended that management and policy interventions that created enabling conditions for nurturing students to become entrepreneurs should be adopted. Among the recommended interventions was the integration of entrepreneurship education into curricula, irrespective of areas of specialisation. This would equip the students with knowledge and develop positive attitude towards venturing into entrepreneurship.
