Aim: Human error is known as the biggest threat to information security in healthcare organizations. Training on the information security is important to the mission of establishing sustainable information security. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a training program for information security in a private hospital.

Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 66 medical unit employees (M/F: 53/13, mean age: 30,27±11,12 years) and 34 administrative unit employees (M/F: 11/23, mean age: 31,5±10,84 years) using the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) were included. Data were collected by a questionnaire regarding the validated Information Security Scale before and after the training program.

Results: Scores of three subgroups of the scale (Security Policy, Access and Authorization, Security Applications) were used in the study. Scores of them were significantly improved by the training program in both medical and administrative staff (p0.05). In addition, there was no positive effect of HIMS training on scores of these subgroups (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Well-designed training programs are necessary for improving information security culture in hospitals. Since ensuring the appropriate protection of organizational assets, it is essential to design an effective training program regarding information security and privacy in the perspective of health managers.
Pengetahuan Dalam Penggunaan APD (Alat Pelindung Diri) Yang Harus Dimiliki Oleh Perawat Guna Untuk Menghindari Berbagai Penyakit Serta Kecelakaan Dalam Menjalankan Tugasnya
Authors: Sianipar Yudistira
Published: October 2020

Pengetahuan Perawat dalam penggunaan alat pelindung diri pada saat melaksanakan tindakan keperawatan akan mengurangi resiko terjadinya pemularan penyakit di rumah sakit. Hal ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan pengetahuan dan sikap perawat tentang APD dengan tindakan pencegahan infeksi di setiap ruang rumah sakit. Program pencegahan dan pengendalian penyakit di rumah sakit penting bagi kesehatan pasien dan keselamatan petugas, pengunjung dan lain-lain di lingkungan rumah sakit. Banyak hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pelaksanaan kebersihan tangan, pemakaian alat pelindung diri, pemrosesan peralatan pasien, pengelolaan limbah, pengelolaan lingkungan, program kesehatan petugas kesehatan, penempatan pasien, hygiene respirasi praktek menyuntik yang aman dan praktek untuk lumbal pungsi belum berjalan sesuai dengan pedoman pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi Kementerian Kesehatan. Penularan bahaya biologi yang tinggi merupakan indikator pentingnya suatu usaha pengendalian infeksi dengan menerapkan kewaspadaan standar.Oleh karena itu disarankan kepada manajemen rumah sakit agar meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap perawat tentang manfaat APD dengan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap perawat tentang APD melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi perawat secara berkelanjutan.

Authors: Manik Sera
Published: October 2020

Kualitas pelayanan keperawatan di rumah sakit tidak akan berjalan dengan baik apabila proses keperawatan yang dilaksanakan tidak terstruktur dengan baik. Oleh karena itu sangan dibutuhkan suatu perencanaan dalam pelaksanaan keperawatan. Perencanaan diperlukan dan terjadi dalam berbagai bentuk organisasi sebab perencanaan ini merupakan proses dasar manajemen di dalam mengambil suatu keputusan dan tindakan. Perencanaan merupakan tahapan paling penting dari suatu fungsi manajemen, terutama dalam menghadapi lingkungan eksternal yang berubah dinamis. Dalam era globalisasi ini, perencanaan harus lebih mengandalkan prosedur yang rasional dan sistematis dan bukan hanya pada intuisi dan firasat (dugaan). Pentingnya perencanaan dalam manajemen keperawatan di rumah sakit bertujuan untuk mengetahui lebih jelas mngenai perencanaan manajemen keperawatan, komponen dan kriteria dalam perencanaan keperawatan, tugas-tugas dan tanggung jawab petugas kesehatan yang ada di rumah sakit serta perhitungan tenaga keperawatan.

Kesehatan kerja menurut WHO/ILO (1995), kesehatan kerja bertujuan untuk peningkatan dan pemeliharaan derajat kesehatan fisik, mental dan sosial setinggi-tingginya bagi pekerja disetiap jenis pekerjaan, pencegahan terhadap gangguan kesehatan pekerja yang disebabkan oleh kondisi pekerjaan, perlindungan bagi pekerja dan pekerjaannyadari resiko akibat faktor yang merugikan kesehatan, dan penempatan serta pemeliharaan pekerja dalam suatu lingkungan kerja yang disesuaikan dengan kondisi fisiologi dan psikologisnya. Secara ringkas merupakan penyesuaian pekerjaan kepada manusia dan setiap manusia kepada pekerjaan atau jabatannya. Frekuensi kecelakaan kerja di perusahaan semakin meningkat, sementara kesadaran pengusaha terhadap Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja (K3) masih rendah, yang lebih memprihatinkan pengusaha dan pekerja sektor kecil menengah menilai K3 identik dengan biaya sehingga menjadi beban, bukan kebutuhan. Keselamatan saat ini telah menjadi isu global di semua sektor, termasuk dalam sektorpelayanan kesehatan. Rumah sakit merupakan salah satu penyedia pelayanan kesehatan yang dituntut untuk senantiasa meningkatkan mutu pelayanan dengan membangun keselamatan dan layanan kesehatan yang lebih aman sehingga mendapat kepercayaan dari pelanggan. Keselamatan di rumah sakit merupakan aspek penting dan prinsip dasar layanan kesehatan serta komponen kritis dari manajemen mutu dan salah satu indikator dalam penilaian akreditasi rumah sakit (Kepmenkes No. 1087, 2010). Potensi bahaya di RS, selain penyakitpenyakit infeksi juga ada potensi bahayabahaya lain yang mempengaruhi situasi dan kondisi di RS, yaitu kecelakaan (peledakan, kebakaran, kecelakaan yang berhubungan dengan instalasi listrik, dan sumber-sumber cidera lainnya), radiasi, bahan-bahan kimia yang berbahaya, gas-gas anastesi, gangguan psikososial dan ergonomi.Semua potensi bahayatersebut diatas, jelas mengancam jiwa dan kehidupan bagi para karyawan di RS, para pasien maupun para pengunjung yang ada di lingkungan RS (Teguh, 2008).

Published: October 2020

AIDS patients often display symptom of diarrhea, an indication of hydrogen bonding mediated by viral proteins with amino acids capable of secondary chemical bonding. With hydrogen bonding to protons, local strong acids such as HCl could build up, giving rise to proton stress which may damage cells or trigger tumorigenesis. Weak organic acids counteract strong acids and attenuate proton stress. The integration of antiviral medicine with probiotics could yield favorable outcomes to AIDS patients and meanwhile reduce cancer incidences.

Authors: Zhang Yixuan , Parker Andrea G. , Dunne Cody
Published: November 2020

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness that affects millions of people. People with type 1 diabetes regularly collect multidimensional data which they use to improve their well-being. Such data often includes blood glucose levels, insulin administration, diet, and physical activity. Monitoring and analysis tools for diabetes care often include information visualizations to help people make sense of this complex data. However, we have only an incomplete understanding of the visualization design approaches used or any justifications for the final design. To address this gap, we surveyed 21 diabetes data analysis tools which use visualization. From this, we derived a design space that consists of data, views, and strategies. We also provide design considerations for future researchers, tool designers, and developers.

Pengaruh Diagnosa Keperawatan Terhadap Pemberian Asuhan Keperawatan Pada Pasien Hipertensi
Authors: Purba Clara Febiola
Published: October 2020

Derajat kesehatan yang optimal merupakan suatu hal yang penting, tetapi banyak masyarakat yang kurang menyadari akan hal itu. Banyak penyakit yang mengancam sejak usia muda antara lain hipertensi, diabetes, kanker dan penyakit paru. Hipertensi merupakan faktor beresiko yang menyebabkan kematian dini, penyakit ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh kebiasaan dan gaya hidup seseorang. Menurut (Dipiro,dkk,2011) hipertensi merupakan penyakit yang dapat didefinisikan sebagai peningkatan tekanan darah secara menetap. Umumnya seseorang dapat dikatan mengidap penyakit hipertensi jika tekanan darah berada di atas 140/90 mmHg. Hipertensi dapat dibedakan menjadi dua yaitu hipertensi primer (esensial) dan hipertensi sekunder. Penyakit ini mematikan dikarenakan penderita tidak mengetahui bahwa dirinya mengidap penyakit hipertensi. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan penderita datang untuk berobat pada saat setelah timbulnya gejala atau kelainan organ akibat hipertensi. Maka diagnose keperawatan sangat mempengaruhi terhadap pemberian asuhan keperawatan pada pasien.

Setiap hari perawat tidak pernah jauh dan selalu berinteraksi dengan pasien. Hal tersebut yang membuat perawat selalu berhadapan langsung dengan bahaya dan dapat mengancam kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja perawat itu sendiri. Kecelakaan kerja pada perawat ini menimbulkan kerugian bagi perawat itu sendiri maupun pihak rumah sakit. Kata kunci:penyakit,kecelakaan,menular
The Influence of Automated Praise on Behavior and Performance
Authors: Motz Benjamin , Canning Elizabeth , Green Dorainne Jodi-Ann , Quick Joshua , Mallon Matthew
Published: October 2020

To be successful in college, students need to turn in their coursework, and a known strategy for improving submission rates is to present positive feedback when students turn in their assignments. In the current study, we test competing theoretical approaches to positive feedback in a large scale field experiment (n=1,766). Using a mobile app, we assigned college students to receive occasional notifications immediately upon submitting online assignments that either praised them for having submitted their coursework, or that highlighted the value of submitting coursework for academic success, or to a no-treatment control group. We find that only praise messages improved submission rates and course performance, suggesting that drawing attention to the feedback-eliciting task is necessary and sufficient for facilitating change at scale.
Anxiety Talking: Does Anxiety Predict Sharing Information about COVID-19?
Authors: Cantwell Ori , Kushlev Kostadin
Published: October 2020

Could fear and anxiety play a functional role during the COVID-19 pandemic by driving greater information sharing about the viral threat? To explore whether anxiety may serve as a unique emotional indicator of sharing information in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we used a representative sample of the United States from the American Trends Panel (N=9,188) conducted April 20th-26th, 2020. Participants reported how they have felt in the past week, where they got their news about the outbreak from, and whether they had posted COVID-19 news on social media or discussed the pandemic with others. Even after controlling for other emotions, news sources, and a range of demographic measures, feeling anxious—more so that other negative emotions, such as feeling depressed—predicted greater information sharing on social media (𝛽 = .05, p < .001) and beyond (𝛽 = .14, p < .001). These findings are consistent with functionalist theories of emotion, which predict that fear and anxiety play a unique role in both identifying and communicating threats to oneself and to others.
Talk to Me, Don't Text Me: Face to Face Communication Generates Greater Closeness Than Texting Among Generation Z in China
Authors: Dou Yanan , Jiang Shuer , Pan Yuxuan
Published: October 2020

Different modes of communication have been shown to generate varying levels of closeness. This study assessed how communication methods impact the degree of closeness in relationships in Chinese society. Chinese participants aged 18-32 years old (N = 142) who had not met before were randomly assigned to interact with another participant for 30 minutes either in a face-to-face (FtF) setting, or over the WeChat text messaging app. They then rated their perceived interpersonal closeness with their conversation partner. Results indicate that both introverted and extraverted participants in the FtF setting perceived greater degree of closeness, felt more positively surprised, and were more willing to share their contact information with their partners, compared to those in text messaging groups. Whereas condition impacted closeness, personality-type determined enjoyment. Regardless of condition, extraverts enjoyed the conversation more so than did introverts. Findings suggest that even in a time when most young people interact online, face-to-face interactions generate a stronger perception of closeness regardless of whether the person is an introvert or extravert.

Authors: Winter Taylor , Riordan Benjamin , Surace Anthony , Scarf Damian , Jose Paul
Published: November 2020

Aims. Quantifying differences between minority and majority groups, such as sexual minorities (SM) and heterosexuals, is difficult due to small sample sizes. Bayesian analyses is one solution to addressing small sample sizes in minority group research, whereby previous research can be used to inform our models. In the present tutorial, we offered an overview of Bayesian statistics and described an approach to constructing informed priors using a large survey when estimating values in a smaller survey. In an applied example, we determined whether SMs in New Zealand reported more stress relative to heterosexuals and whether stress mediates the link between SM status and alcohol use.Design. Two cross-sectional, stratified, and nationally representative health surveys from the US (National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)) and New Zealand (New Zealand Health Survey (NZHS)).Settings. United States, New ZealandParticipants. We used data from 83,661 (SMs = 5593) survey respondents in the US and 24,098 respondents in NZ (SMs = 619).Measurements. Demographic items (sex, age, ethnicity, sexual identity), the Kessler psychological distress scale, and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT).Findings. Using a larger survey to inform priors reduced the uncertainty of estimates derived from small subgroups in a smaller survey relative to uninformed priors.Conclusion. Informed Bayesian analyses are an important tool for researchers studying minority groups and the application of informative priors allows for more reliable estimates of health disparities.

Introduction: Indonesians have a low intake of dietary fibre, a key component for an increased incidence in constipation. Available data have documented the benefits of polydextrose (PDX) in healthy subjects. However, data on constipated subjects are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of consuming a PDX (prebiotic) beverage on bowel habits and gastrointestinal symptoms of constipated subjects over seven days. Methods: This was a randomised, non-blinded, nonplacebo-controlled parallel design study involving 24 subjects, divided equally into two groups. Group A (active control group) consisted of 12 subjects, consuming one serving size of 6g PDX beverage. While Group B (intervention group) consisted of 12 subjects, consuming two servings of the same product, containing 12g PDX beverage. Changes in bowel habits (constipation score, stool frequency and stool consistency) and gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating and flatulence) were monitored. Results: Within seven days, Group B showed 4.9% more reduction in overall constipation mean score than that of Group A. Positive improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms were reported: i.e. abdominal pain (∆M = -0.08±0.43), bloating (∆M = -0.29±0.37) and flatulence (∆M = -0.17±0.47). Majority of subjects had desirable stool frequency (87.5%, >3 defecations/week) and stool consistency (58.3%, type 4). These improvements were due to the fact that PDX provides physiological effects consistent with prebiotic fibre, which alters the gut microbiota composition during the fermentation cycle in the large intestine. Conclusion: Findings of this study suggested that daily PDX beverage consumption effectively improved bowel habits, with fewer constipated subjects reporting of gastrointestinal symptoms.
Validation of the Turkish version Power of the Food Scale (PFS) for determining hedonic hunger status and correlate between PFS and body mass index
Authors:   Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bas¸kent University, Ankara, Turkey, Mehtap Akçil Ok , Melisa Hayzaran ,   Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bas¸kent University University, Ankara, Turkey
Published: October 2020

Introduction: This study was carried out to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish culture-adapted version of “Power of the Food Scale” (PFS), which was originally developed by Lowe et al. (2009). In addition, associations between body mass index (BMI) and PFS scores were assessed. Methods: The study sample consisted of a total of 363 volunteering students aged >18 years, who were studying at the Bas¸kent University in Turkey. Validity and reliability analyses were conducted for the Turkish version of the PFS. Results: The correlations of each item in the PFS with the total score were found to be positive and >0.30. The Cronbach’s alpha value was determined as 0.85. The construct validity of the scale was analysed with confirmatory factor analysis. The Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index was 0.97 and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation was 0.07. These fit indices of the model confirmed the construct validity of the PFS. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between BMI values of the students and the total score of the scale (r=0.157; p=0.003). Conclusion: The findings obtained in this study have laid out that the Turkish Power of Food Scale (T-PFS), which was adapted to Turkish culture from PFS, is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be applied in Turkey. Thus, T-PFS is thought to be likely to contribute to studies aiming to determine the status of hedonic hunger.

Modified Determination of Flake Length Distribution in Lamellar Grey Iron (GJL)
Authors: Sonntag U. , Pham T. P. , Frieß J.
Published: November 2020

An essential requirement for the quality control of cast iron products is the analysis of their microstructure. Even though cast irons constitute a very traditional class of materials, they still play a key role in many industrial sectors. It is therefore all the more surprising that in the age of digital image processing, the development of a digital standard on that basis has not yet been achieved and that classification by visual analysis is still the norm for certain subtasks. The following sections will present an approach to resolving the seemingly easy subtask of determining flake length distribution in GJL. A key element in this respect is the question if and how to separate this three-dimensional network structure on the basis of a two-dimensional metallographic section. Depending on the type of structural arrangement, a quasi-hybrid approach was applied: isolating part of the flakes while the more compact structures are not separated and will remain as one individual lamellar object.
Presence of think tanks in the Spanish digital press
Authors: Planells-Artigot Enrique , Martí-Sánchez Myriam , Moreno-Castro Carolina
Published: October 2020

The study of think tanks in Spain has been growing in the last few years with an equally increasing number of social and grassroots movements. This article offers content analysis results from a selection of eight Spanish think tanks in the digital press during a seven-year period, adding new conclusions to previous literature for the same period. Not only does this research explore the appearance on the media, but also the type of mentions and authorship of the articles and blogs included in the digital press, contributing to a deeper study of think tanks. The objective of this study is to analyse the limited presence of Spanish think tanks in media outlets and whether their appearance is ideologically motivated. The article built a constructed week sampling and followed a content analysis methodology to gather quantitative and qualitative elements from the selected sampling (n=1,101). The paper concludes that the presence of think tanks in the Spanish digital press is limited, causing not only a lack of knowledge of their existence but also raising questions about how they try to impact on the policymaking process.
Prospects of Application of Nanoparticles of Magnet-Controlled Sorbent (Mcs-B Brand) For Correction of Function Platelets
Authors: Belousov Andrey
Published: October 2020

This scientific article is devoted to the study of the effect of magnetite nanoparticles (MCS-B brand) on the functional platelets activity of human. 0.9% NaCl was used as a control. The results of the study showed that the use of NaCl saline solution shifts the colloidal suspension equilibrium of platelets towards a significant (P<0.001) increase in the rate and index of their aggregation. For the first time, the effect of 0.9% NaCl on function of platelets makes us reconsider the concept of safety of infusion solutions in patients with initial signs of platelet disorders hemostasis. On the contrary, the use of MCS-B nanoparticles significantly revealed (P<0.05) an increase in the stability of colloidal suspension of platelets. This is an important pathogenetic factor which affects the occurrence of correction of hemostasis in conditions of blood clotting disorders.

Adenocarcinoma of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract After Bariatric Surgery. A Review of the Literature.
Authors: M Vladimirov , U Hesse , H.J Stein
Published: October 2020

Summary Obesity is associated with an increased risk of cancer development in the upper gastrointestinal tract. One own case of a female patient with gastric carcinoma after sleeve gastrectomy was the reason to review the literature about the frequency and the genesis of gastric carcinoma after bariatric surgery. Additional to our case 3 further patients with gastric carcinoma after sleeve gastrectomy and 33 patients with carcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract after other bariatric operations are reported in the literature. Due to a lack of registry studies the incidence of gastric cancer after bariatric surgery cannot be calculated. Early diagnostics should be performed in symptomatic patients and in patients with unspecific symptoms after bariatric surgery to avoid a delay of the diagnosis of potential carcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Medical Imaging Enfranchising the Patient for Better Feedback and Life-Long Wellness: From Female Pelvic Floor Control to Orgasm
Authors: Reider Brent
Published: October 2020

Image design for healthcare instruction must be attuned to the way we learn and the formulation of our abstract knowledge. Images for a manual on how to use a medical device will differ significantly in presentation from images that are intended as guidance on how to improve corporal performance. Images for the former will rely on intentional recollection of life experiences, learned concepts and facts as tools. While not mutually exclusive, images for the latter should be designed to consciously work with procedural memory to improve bodily performance. The images in this article demonstrate this by imaging the relationship between the pelvic floor muscles, clitoris and demarking “Spots” indicated for sexual arousal. Qualitative data suggests that many individuals know little about the interactive relationship between the clitoris, pelvic floor muscles and the female orgasm. Social and educational venues are inadequate, and in some cases misleading. The use of appropriate images conveys meaning very effectively. So whether imaging for a medical condition, procedure (e.g., surgery) or device to enfranchise the patient in their wellness the individual’s experience and proclivity for learning must be considered. If the images are effectively planned and executed, images can play an important role in involving the patients in their wellness. Enfranchising the patient into the process can improve patient feedback therein contributing to advancements in medical procedure and device usage. The sequence of images is guidance based upon a woman’s innate understanding of her body, so that she may move to a higher state of knowledge where her body performs better. Further, if her mind is inspired by the success, then her body could proceed beyond the achieved state repeatedly. The data confirms this performance structure. Women who score high for pelvic floor strength and coordination report high sexual functioning and genital perception.

Ultrasonic vibration is mainly used in minimally invasive surgery since it uses longitudinal mechanical waves with the ability to propagate in a solid and liquid medium, conducted to the tissues through an active tip, a large amount of vibrational energy is produced at the point of contact getting the section, coagulation and dissection of tissue. Objective. To evaluate the operating time and blood loss in major salivary glands benign tumors resection using harmonic scalpel during the period from August 2018 to March 2019 at the Dr. Darío Fernández General Hospital. Material and methods. Twelve patients with benign salivary gland tumors of both sexes between 39 and 76 years of age were included for the study, time and intraoperative bleeding were quantified and analyzed with measures of central tendency. Results: The most frequently performed surgery was submaxilectomy (50%), followed by superficial parotidectomy (33.3%) and submaxilectomy plus lymph node resection (16.6%). The intraoperative time lasted from 20 to 65 minutes with an average 44.16 minutes, bleeding in milliliters ranged from 25 to 60 milliliters with a mean of 42. 9 ml. Conclusions: The use of ultrasonic vibration significantly reduces operating time and blood loss due to coagulation and cutting simultaneously with less heat production.
Corneal Pyogenic Granuloma Secondary to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome
Authors: Borderie Vincent
Published: October 2020

A 30–year man was referred to our institution for progressive bilateral keratoconjunctivitis following toxic epidermal necrolysis. Slit-lamp examination showed an elevated, red, vascularized lesion covering the entire cornea. The lesion was removed by superficial lamellar keratectomy. The histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of corneal pyogenic granuloma. These uncommon lesions usually develop in adults after minor trauma or surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of corneal pyogenic granuloma related to toxic epidermal necrolysis.
Reno Cardiologist Confirms FMTVDM – Opening New Opportunities for Nuclear Cardiologists
Authors: Fleming Richard
Published: October 2020

Background: A quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and oncologic - including molecular breast imaging (MBI) - utility patent (FMTVDM*) previously validated at experienced MPI and MBI centers was independently tested for clinical application at a private practice Reno, Nevada cardiologists office. Methods: Using FMTVDM, a private practice cardiologist independently investigated forty-four regions of interest (ROI) in 12-women with varying transitional levels of breast changes – including breast cancer. Results: Using FMTVDM, a nuclear cardiologist without prior experience in MBI was able to easily measure changes in women’s breast tissue differentiating inflammatory and cancerous breast tissue from normal using the same camera used for MPI. These measured changes provided diagnostically useful information on cellular metabolism and regional blood flow changes (RBF) – the same properties which differentiate ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD) on myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Conclusions: Quantitative MBI using FMTVDM allows differentiation of tissue types through measurement of enhanced regional blood flow and metabolic differences. Nuclear cardiologists have previously reported cases of breast cancer while conducting MPI studies. This investigation demonstrated that nuclear cardiologists can independently conduct MBI in addition to MPI studies using the nuclear cameras they currently use for MPI.
Urethral stenosis of women about a case
Authors: bai Walid
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Non-tumoral urethral strictures are a rare clinical entity in women with little literature. Observation: We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who consults for acute retention of urine with impossibility of sounding, preceded by dysuria. She had an unexplained retention episode 8 years ago without urologic investigations. Conclusion: Urethral stricture is an infrequent condition in women, the most dangerous etiology being stenosis of cancerous origin. Non-malignant tumoral causes such as that reported in our observation are exceptional.
Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Embryogenesis and Head and Neck Tumors
Authors: Jayan Lekshmy
Published: October 2020

Epithelial mesenchymal interactions are one of the most important process taking place in the body. It is an indispensable mechanism that mediates the development of numerous organs and organ systems especially tooth, salivary gland etc. It has been long implicated in the causation of numerous pathogenic processes especially cancer. The mechanism of epithelial mesenchymal interactions are a forerunner for epithelial mesenchymal transition, which is an important pathological process in the development of cancer. In this review, we have highlighted the role of epithelial mesenchymal interactions in normal embryogenesis as well in numerous pathological conditions.
Доноси чиновників на керівництво на початку ХІХ століття (за матеріалами справ маршала ніжинського повітового дворянства Матвія Яковича Почеки)
Authors: Leiberov O. O.
Published: October 2020

Стаття присвячена розгляду феномена доносу та практиці доносительства у бюрократично-чиновницькому середовищі Російської імперії на початку ХІХ століття. На прикладі діяльності маршала дворянства Ніжинського повіту М. Я. Почеки розглянуті особливості даної проблеми. Дослідник звертає увагу на відмінності у написанні доносів відповідно до мети, яку ставить їх автор. На конкретних випадках показана різниця між політичними та службово-побутовими доносами, між корисливими та безкорисливими. Проаналізовані механізми захисту керівників від доносів підлеглих.

Роль симулякрів у гібридних конфліктах сучасності
Authors: Dubyaga A. P.
Published: October 2020

У статті визначено особливості гібридної війни, висвітлено її основні складові, на основі аналізу протистояння Росії й України виокремлено етапи цього виду протистояння. Розглянуто роль симулякрів як образів викривленої реальності для створення підґрунтя в країні, що є об’єктом агресії, насамперед створення хибних образів і формування лояльного до агресора прошарку населення. Виявлено особливості формування та застосування симулякрів на окремих етапах гібридної війни. На основі наведених прикладів фейкових інформаційних повідомлень простежено "еволюцію" симулякру в ході гібридної військової кампанії, визначено їх вектори та вплив на свідомість населення. Проведена наукова розвідка свідчить, що створені симулякри в умовах інформаційної блокади та тотального інформаційного контролю формують видозмінену реальність у свідомості об’єктів впливу, що зумовлює активну протидію правдивій інформації. Це в свою чергу знаменує перемогу симулякру як компонента гібридної війни.
Introduction
Authors: Slugan Mario , Terrone Enrico
Published: November 2020

Since the 1970s with Stanley Cavell’s work, and later with contributions such as those by Noël Carroll, George Wilson, Gregory Currie, and Berys Gaut, film has become a respectable object of philosophizing among Anglo-Saxon philosophers. Still, when it comes to the relationship between film and philosophy, the focus is mostly on how philosophy can help better understand film with little or nothing on how film studies can contribute to philosophical aesthetics. This special issue is aimed at encouraging a more balanced interaction between analytic aesthetics and film studies.
The Different Meanings of “Film Form”
Authors: Arouh Melenia
Published: November 2020

The appreciation of form is a common preoccupation in aesthetic analyses of films. The concept of form, however, has traditionally troubled philosophers of art, and although its meaning and significance have been debated throughout history, a common understanding is not always easy to discern. This article reviews certain ambiguities regarding “form” in film aesthetics through an examination of the uses of the word, especially in relation to content, medium, and style. Through this discussion, both the significance of the word is explained, but also the type of analysis it allows for.
