Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine English teaching practices through distance education based on the experiences of English teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research is a case study designed according to the qualitative research model. The study group of the research, which were determined through easily accessible case sampling, consists of 13 English teachers employed in public and private lower secondary schools. The data of the study were collected through a semi-structured interview form. Content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The main results of the research can be listed as follows: For most teachers, the course preparation process in distance education is more comprehensive and time-consuming than face-to-face education. However, there are also teachers who do not try too much to plan the process and stay away from technology. The positive reflections of the preparation process on the teaching process, such as providing a variety of methods, techniques, materials, activities and employing technology more, were observed. Teachers evaluate more on homework, student participation and effort. The majority of teachers find distance language teaching sustainable within the framework of their own experience. When the findings of the research are evaluated together, distance language teaching seems to have the potential to be an educational opportunity when it is carried out under appropriate conditions.

Published: September 2021

Reproductive health is a universal concern, a central determinant of quality of life. Male reproductive health disorders can evolve at any phase of life, but accountability of males in maintenance of reproductive and sexual health is seemingly low. Preconception care for men discloses a reproductive health plan, health assessment, health promotion, clinical and psychosocial interventions to improve the adolescent and men in reproductive age groups. In Ayurveda the necessity of sound reproductive health for successful conception is explained under dinacharya (daily regimen), ritucharya (seasonal regimen), sadvritta (code of conduct for keeping good and balanced condition of body and mind), panchakarma (purificatory therapies), rasayana (rejuvenation therapy) and vajikarana (aphrodisiac therapy). Research studies paved less limelight to address the need for preserving the same right from an early phase of life. It is the privilege to avail the possibilities from both ayurvedic and contemporary science to upgrade reproductive health, which in turn enhances positive eugenics. This review is intended with an attempt to detail the ayurvedic aspects of male reproductive health with special reference to preconception care.

Published: September 2021

DNA methylation is the most common epigenetic modification, caused by ionizing radiation. There may be both hypermethylation, which suppresses transcription of gene promoter regions, and hypomethylation, resulting in gene activation. Both mechanisms may be involved in carcinogenesis. The study was aimed to assess methylation status of CpG islands in the protective system BCL-2, CDKN1A and ATM gene promoters in the peripheral blood cells of the chronically exposed individuals, living in the villages, located along the Techa River, over a long-term period. Methylation of BCL-2, CDKN1A and ATM gene promoter regions in 68 residents of the villages, located along the Techa River (Chelyabinsk region), was assessed by the real-time methylation-specific PCR. The group of exposed individuals included 54 people with accumulated dose to red bone marrow within the range of 0.09–3.51 Gy. The comparison group included 14 people, living in similar economic and social environment, with the dose to red bone marrow, accumulated during the whole life, not exceeding 70 mGy. The pilot study of exposed individuals over a long period of time after chronic low-dose radiation exposure revealed no significant changes in methylation levels of CpG islands in the CDKN1A, BCL-2, ATM gene promoter regions compared to the comparison group. None were revealed in the dose subgroups “87–994 mGy” and “over 1000 mGy”.

A Comparative Study of Scrotal Pathologies by Ultrasound and
Their Correlation with CT and MRI
Authors: Hari Dayal Singh Thakur Hari Dayal Singh , P Keerthi Bharat
Published: September 2021

Background: The scrotum is a readily examinable structure
clinically in normal conditions. However, in cases of swelling
and tenderness, its clinical examination alone may not reveal
any significant information. Therefore, imaging techniques such
as ultrasound including CT and MRI may be required in cases.
We in the current study tried to evaluate the role of ultrasound,
CT, and MRI in the evaluation of scrotal pathologies.
Methods: All the cases of scrotal pathologies referred from
the Departments of Urology and General Surgery, were
included in the study. All the patients were studied using Highfrequency real-time grayscale ultrasonography and Doppler.
Before subjecting the patients for ultrasound examination,
patient details, detailed clinical history was obtained along with
thorough physical examination. The color Doppler sonography
was routinely performed in all these patients. Subsequently,
these cases were followed up and correlated with
histopathology report, fine needle aspiration cytology results,
surgical findings, response to treatment.
Results: Out of n=50 cases studied most of the casesClinically
presented with a combination of multiple symptoms wasscrotal
swelling, as in n=18 cases (36%).Out of which n=30(60%) were
unilateral and n=20(40%) werebilateral.Combination of pain,
swelling, and fever in four cases (8%). The n=30 unilateral
swelling showed n=14 cases of right-side involvement and n=16
cases of left-side involvement. Of n=5 cases of congenital
anomaly associated with the descent of testes, n=2 cases were
referred with clinical suspicion of incompletely descended
testes, which were clinically palpable. 4% cases of scrotal and
testicular trauma were detected. Among non-neoplastic scrotal
swellings, hydrocele is the commonest pathology noted in n=9
cases. Epididymal cyst in n=2 cases, varicocele in n=6 cases.
Conclusion:
ultrasonography is best for the demonstration of
morphological changes due to acute scrotal inflammation. The
color doppler sonography can accurately differentiate between
testicular ischemia and torsion from acute inflammatory
diseases. High-frequency ultrasonography with Doppler is
highly sensitive in demonstrating the varicoceles. MRI provides
better delineation of borders, cystic components, and tissue
signal intensities of the testicular masses. CT is the imaging
modality of choice for detecting metastatic deposits

Published: September 2021

Objectives. Shift work results in changing worker’s behavior, food, and sleep patterns, which can cause circadian rhythm disturbance, which is a cardiovascular risk. Until now, a biomarker of early prediction of cardiovascular risk on shift workers is still not developed. This study aimed to assess the cardiovascular risk of shift worker nurses by detecting endothelial microparticles (EMPs).

Methods. This longitudinal study compared six shift nurses and five non-shift nurses by measuring the EMPs using antigen CD31+ flow cytometry. All met the inclusion criteria consisting of 28 blood samples followed in one week shift.

Results. EMPs among non-shift nurses were below 200 μL. However, shift nurses’ EMPs increased above 200 μL with Man-Whitney U p = 0.000 on days 4 and 7 following a one shift per week schedule.

Conclusion. There was an increase in shift workers’ endothelial microparticles (EMP) which was a sign of cardio-vascular risk.

Authors: Lu Jinky Leilanie , Salas Emma K.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Pesticides are widely used in the agricultural sector to increase production by cutting costs and improving product quality. However, these chemicals come with serious health effects when individuals are exposed to large quantities at once or low amounts over time.

Objective. This study aimed to identify the health symptoms and physical assessment findings affecting farmers from their repeated occupational exposure to pesticides in a rural region in the Philippines.

Methods. This research study used a cross-sectional design, and samples were drawn based on a multistage sampling of 387 agricultural workers. The target site was in the southern Philippines, and the sample was selected randomly from the identified municipalities. Survey questionnaires were given to the respondents, and a physical assessment was made by medical doctors and trained registered nurses. The data were encoded using SPSS™ 13.0. The statistics used were both descriptive and inferential.

Results. The farmers used pesticides in their farms with an average of 2.3 days per week (SD: 2.13). The mean total spraying time was 3.07 hours (SD: ± 14.76) per day. The average amount of pesticide used in an application was 1.33 L per application (SD: ± 6.53). Sixty-three percent (63%) had spills while spraying, and 47% reported having spilled pesticides while mixing. Farmers were assessed and found to have experienced symptoms and exhibited physical assessment findings surrounding the following body systems: general, EENT, neurologic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and integumentary systems. Abnormalities in laboratory parameters were also observed among the respondents. The mini-mental state examination was done to test if the respondents showed signs of cognitive impairment. The results showed that most respondents (93.95%) had normal cognitive function, while 6.05% of respondents had some level of cognitive impairment. Associations were also tested using Phi Coefficient, and certain pesticide exposure variables were associated with farmers' physical findings and symptoms experienced by farmers.

Conclusion. This study translates pesticide’s health impact by identifying the common symptoms experienced by farmers and concerning physical assessment findings. The study found that farmers suffered from various symptoms concerning the general health, eye, ears, nose, and throat region, neurological system, gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the integumentary system. In addition, the laboratory parameters of the participants also exhibited abnormalities indicative of exposure and possible adverse effects from pesticides.

Authors: Lu Jinky Leilanie
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Deaths due to occupation are estimated to be around 2.3 million globally. These deaths may be accounted for as accidents and injuries related to workplaces. The latter is a common problem, especially in developing countries where manual and hazardous tasks are prevalent.

Objective. The study aimed to provide an updated and detailed information on the current statistics and trends of occupational injuries in the Philippines.

Methods. The data on occupational injuries and related injuries from 2011 to 2017 (latest data) were based on a systematic and comprehensive review of literature from different national and international sources, including scholarly journals, peer-reviewed articles, national surveys by Philippine Statistics Authority, the hospital-based recording data: Online National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (ONEISS) by the Department of Health and other reliable electronic data related to occupational injury. The latest statistics are 2017, although data were published in 2018 and 2019.

Results. This study obtained from the national statistics showed that there is generally a decreasing trend of occupation injuries from 2011 (46,655 cases) to 2017 (38,235 cases). However, the occupational injuries generally increased from 2011 (48,975 cases) to 2015 (20,961 cases). The most affected sector was the manufacturing industry consistently from 2011 to 2017. With regards to workdays lost, the most common cause from 2011 to 2017 is temporary incapacity. Superficial injuries and open wounds were the most common, resulting in workdays lost consistently from 2013 to 2017. For the hospital data, the top causes of occupational injuries were vehicular accidents. Open wound/lacerations, abrasions, and contusion were the most common types of injuries for the same year range. Moreover, the 20-59 years old, the working-age population, were the common victims of these injuries. Occupational injuries were also prevalent across all industry groups, including informal occupations such as workers engaged in transportation, construction, mining, and agriculture and fisheries industries.

Conclusion. Occupational injuries and accidents are global problems, most especially for developing countries. This study suggests that better focus should be given to workers as they are productive members of society.

Toward Control Over Time: Participant Experience of Attending the Let’s Get Organized Group Intervention
Authors: Lidström-Holmqvist Kajsa , Tollén Anita , Holmefur Marie
Published: September 2021

Importance: Time management is crucial for managing daily activities but is difficult for many people with neurodevelopmental or mental disorders. Few sustainable interventions have addressed time management in daily life.

Objective: To describe the experiences and meaning of attending the Swedish version of the Let’s Get Organized (LGO–S) group intervention.

Design: Qualitative design with interviews 1 to 4 mo after the completed intervention.

Setting: Outpatient psychiatric and adult habilitation clinics.

Participants: Twelve adults with neurodevelopmental or mental disorders.

Intervention: LGO–S, a manual-based group intervention that focuses on time-management skills.

Outcomes and Measures: Semistructured interviews analyzed with qualitative content analysis. All authors took an active part in the analysis process; consensus was reached.

Results: The overarching theme, “a roller-coaster process toward control over time in daily life,” describes the participants’ process during and after intervention. Four main categories describe the meaning of understanding why time management is difficult and how to use tools for improvement, a process of change that was facilitated by the learning environment. Participants described the process as a struggle to take control over time, but they noted that the positive changes in daily life made it worthwhile.

Conclusions and Relevance: Participation had a positive impact on daily life. The opportunity for skills training with support over an extended period, a changed view on failure, and the group format appear to be important success factors.

What This Article Adds: The LGO–S, with its structured training of time-management skills, contributes to occupational therapy practice with an intervention that clients experience as bringing meaningful and positive changes to daily life functioning.

Importance: Spanish-speaking populations represent a significant percentage of occupational therapy clientele globally. Culturally appropriate Spanish translations of assessments are therefore imperative. This study describes the process of a culturally adapted translation of a set of tests for use with Spanish-speaking pediatric populations.

Objective: To produce a culturally adapted Spanish translation of the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration® (EASI) for international use.

Method: We used cultural adaptation methodology that included direct and back translations of the EASI by bilingual translators and interviews with pediatric occupational therapists and children ages 3–6 yr from Spain. Linguistic experts helped revise the translations, and pediatric occupational therapy leaders in five Spanish-speaking North and South American countries reviewed the translations for comprehensibility and cultural appropriateness.

Results: Back translations demonstrated equivalence with the original EASI tests except for a few test instructions and scoring criteria. Interviews with occupational therapists and children in Spain revealed some comprehension difficulties for several tests, which were revised in consultation with a linguistic expert. Additional adaptations were made on the basis of recommendations to address cultural differences by occupational therapy leaders from five North and South American countries. Most changes in wording were made in one EASI test (Praxis: Following Directions) that is heavily dependent on language comprehension.

Conclusions and Relevance: We used currently recommended methodologies to develop and adapt a Spanish translation of the EASI for use across diverse cultures.

What This Article Adds: A Spanish translation of the EASI has been developed for use in culturally diverse Spanish-speaking countries around the world.

Semiotics is theoretically used to unravel the meaning by connecting and interpreting different signs and symbols. Evolution of meaning begins from shared to agreed meaning by the interpretation of facts and information. Thus, certain philosophical tradition is concerned with the understanding of how people use different signs and symbols in meaning-making. To understand the correlation of meaning the researchers has taken two short stories of K. Hari Kumar‟s “The Devil‟s Flower and a piece of Rock”, “A Pair of Pale Hands” are analysed in terms of the semiotic approach, namely the triadic model. This triadic model by Charles Sander Pierce is a three-dimensional model whose axes are: Representamen, Object, and Interpretant. In this research paper, the researchers had correlated the process of meaning-making with Setting, Myth and Blood. Each are individually identified in Shakespeare‟s Macbeth and Hamlet in creating its meaning and development in the story. This paper associates Representamen as form, the setting, Object as a referent to myth and blood. In association with the representamen and object, we get interpreted meaning called the Interpretant. This correlating structural process is seen with reference to Jacques Derrida‟s „Model of Parergon‟. Thus, this paper purports to explore the narrative as a structure of interconnected signs and symbols that are organically rooted to the gothic style of writing and deriving its meaning semiotically.

Statins are conventionally used medicaments for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Apart from the aforementioned pharmacological action, statin use was associated with increased risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis due to its immunomodulatory property. The present study focused to demonstrate whether statin use accelerated arthritic incidence. The Ex vivo antioxidant study was performed using Lipid peroxidation (LPO) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assay. Both the Antioxidant study was evaluated from tissue homogenates. Each homogenate was centrifuged, and the resulting supernatant fraction was used to determine the enzyme activity. The histopathological analysis of ankle joints was conducted by hematoxylin eosin staining technique. The result obtained from Lipid peroxidation study showed that both Pitavastatin and Lovastatin treated tissues exhibited significant increase (p<0.001) in enzyme activity due to the elevated level of malonaldehyde formation. The Superoxide dismutase activity assay of both test drugs on tissue homogenate was found that significant decrease (p<0.001) in SOD level contributed cartilage degradation due to the generation of free radicals. The histopathological analysis also revealed that scattered inflammatory cells destructs the normal articular structure in rat joint tissues showed the evidence of arthritic induction. The study confirmed that statins had a strong influence on arthritic onset by oxidative stress in patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
Civil Resistance in the Shadow of the Revolution: Historical Framing in Nicaragua's Sudden Uprising
Authors: Mosinger Eric , Thaler Kai M. , García Diana Paz , Fowler Charlotte
Published: September 2021

Are long-standing, widespread grievances a necessary condition for civil resistance campaigns? We argue historical framing can enable sudden mass uprisings even where long-standing anti-regime grievances are absent. Protest cascades can develop to challenge relatively stable, popular
governments through four interdependent historical framing mechanisms. First, protesters and bystanders may draw analogies to historical contentious episodes. Second, individuals or groups may imagine themselves occupying paradigmatic roles from past popular struggles, offering prescriptions
for action. Third, protesters can adopt symbolic and tactical repertoires from previous contentious episodes. Finally, protesters may concentrate protests within symbolic space. We develop our theory with evidence from Nicaragua's 2018 mass uprising, which nearly toppled previously-popular
President Daniel Ortega, after violence against protesters activated powerful frames resonating with Nicaragua's history of dictatorship and revolution.

Введение. В настоящее время проблема заболеваний органов пищеварения является одной из основных в клинической терапии. Наблюдается неуклонный рост числа заболеваний пищеварительной системы за счет лиц молодого возраста. Цель исследования - изучение факторов риска заболеваний органов пищеварения проведено анкетирование студентов 1 курса Медицинского института. Материалы и методы. Полностью заполнили анкету 51 студент, из них девушек - 30 (59%), юношей - 21(41%), возрастной диапазон составил 17-18 лет. Данная анкета включала 27 пунктов, вопросы питания, наличие или отсутствие жалоб на органы пищеварения и факторы риска. Результаты. Симптомы диспепсии выявлены у 33, 6% лиц, которые полностью заполнили анкету. По нашим данным, возможно, из-за загруженности в учебе питание у первокурсников несбалансированное, часто употребляют продукты быстрого приготовления фастфуды (гамбургер, хот-дог, пицца), полуфабрикаты (χ2 Пирсона-13,73, p<0,002), отмечается поспешная еда «всухомятку », нарушение режима питания, часто пере носят основной прием пищи на вечер (p<0,001), что является фактором риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний и органов пищеварения. У респондентов с симптомом диспепсии имеются признаки ферментативной недостаточности, в виде непереносимости отдельных продуктов питания, а также сопутствующие заболевания и отягощенная наследственность. Выводы. В большинстве случаев факторы риска симптома диспепсии модифицируемые, что позволяет планировать профилактические мероприятия и проводить санитарно-просветительскую работу среди студентов.

Published: September 2021

Makalede Bakara sûresinin 178. âyetinin tefsirlerdeki yansımaları ele alınmış, sahabe ve tabiîn nesline nispet edilen muhtelif rivayetlerden dolayı nasıl farklı anlamlandırıldığı gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılmıştır. Böylece Kur'an’ın tanınmasına ve anlaşılmasına katkı sunulması hedeflenmiştir. Bu yapılırken erken dönemden başlanmak suretiyle onlarca tefsir taranmış ve müfessirlerin yorumları mukayeseli bir biçimde analiz edilmiştir. Neticede âyet içerisindeki cümlelerin ulema tarafından farklı şekillerde yorumlandığı ve bu yorumlardan bazılarının baskın hale gelmek suretiyle Müslüman toplumların bakış açısını oluşturuduğu görülmüştür. Hatta tarihi arka planı göz önünde bulundurularak tercüme edilmediği için “اَلْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْاُنْثٰى بِالْاُنْثٰى” cümlesinin Türkemize aktarıldığı şekliyle yanlış anlaşılmaya müsait olduğu da tespit edilmiştir. Diğer taraftan ilim ehlinin ayetle ilgili paylaştığı farklı yorumların Kur'an’ın ruhuna ve âyetin muhtevasına daha uygun düştüğü sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
