A Disease Called Poverty: The Sickness Dismantling Global Health Equity
Authors:   Staples High School, Foran Leigh
Published: August 2021

HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria are considered the “big three” infectious diseases in global health. These illnesses alone account for nearly 3 million deaths every year, ravaging communities and countries around the world (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2021). While this number alone is staggering, it is even more notable to observe exactly who is getting sick from these diseases. 95% of all AIDS victims, 98% of the world’s TB cases, and over 90% of the deaths from Malaria occurred in developing countries (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2021).
Simulation of the effects of low volatility organic compounds on aerosol number concentrations in Europe
Authors: Patoulias David , Pandis Spyros N.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. PMCAMx-UF, a three-dimensional chemical transport model focusing on the simulation of the ultrafine particle size distribution and composition has been extended with the addition of reactions of chemical aging of semi-volatile anthropogenic organic vapors, the emissions and chemical aging by intermediate volatile organic compounds (IVOCs) and the production of extremely low volatility organic compounds (ELVOCs) by monoterpenes. The model is applied in Europe to quantify the effect of these processes on particle number concentrations. The model predictions are evaluated against both ground measurements collected during the PEGASOS 2012 summer campaign across many stations in Europe and airborne observations by a Zeppelin measuring above Po-Valley, Italy. PMCAMx-UF reproduces the ground level daily average concentrations of particles larger than 100 nm (N100) with normalized mean error (NME) of 45 % and normalized mean bias (NMB) close to 10 %. For the same simulation, PMCAMx-UF tends to overestimate the concentration of particles larger than 10 nm (N10) with a daily NMB of 23 % and a daily NME of 63 %. The model was able to reproduce more than 75 % of the N10 and N100 airborne observations (Zeppelin) within a factor of 2. The ELVOC production by monoterpenes is predicted to lead to surprisingly small changes of the average number concentrations over Europe. The total number concentration decreased due to the ELVOC formation by 0.2 %, the N10 decreases by 1.1 %, while N50 increased by 3 % and N100 by 4 % due to this new SOA source. This small change is due to the nonlinearity of the system with increases predicted in some areas and decreases in others, but also the cancelation of the effects of the various processes like accelerated growth and accelerated coagulation. Locally, the effects can be significant. For example, an increase in N100 by 20–50 % is predicted over Scandinavia and significant increases (10–20 %) over some parts of central Europe. The ELVOCs contributed on average around 0.5 μg m−3 and accounted for 10–15 % of the PM2.5 OA. The addition of IVOC emissions and their aging reactions led to surprising reduction of the total number of particles (Ntot) and N10 by 10–15 and 5–10 %, respectively, and to an increase of the concentration of N100 by 5–10 %. These were due to the accelerated coagulation and reduced nucleation rates.

Authors: Sumlin Benjamin , Fortner Edward , Lambe Andrew , Shetty Nishit J. , Daube Conner , Liu Pai , Majluf Francesca , Herndon Scott , Chakrabarty Rajan K.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Organic aerosol (OA) emissions from biomass burning have
been the subject of intense research in recent years, involving a
combination of field campaigns and laboratory studies. These efforts have
aimed at improving our limited understanding of the diverse processes and
pathways involved in the atmospheric processing and evolution of OA
properties, culminating in their accurate parameterizations in climate and
chemical transport models. To bring closure between laboratory and field
studies, wildfire plumes in the western United States were sampled and
characterized for their chemical and optical properties during the
ground-based segment of the 2019 Fire Influence on Regional to Global
Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) field campaign. Using a
custom-developed multiwavelength integrated photoacoustic-nephelometer
spectrometer in conjunction with a suite of instruments, including an
oxidation flow reactor equipped to generate hydroxyl (OH⚫) or
nitrate (NO3⚫) radicals to mimic daytime or nighttime
oxidative aging processes, we investigated the effects of multiple
equivalent hours of OH⚫ or NO3⚫ exposure on
the chemical composition and mass absorption cross-sections (MAC(λ)) at 488 and 561 nm of OA emitted from wildfires in Arizona and Oregon. We
found that OH⚫ exposure induced a slight initial increase in
absorption corresponding to short timescales; however, at longer timescales, the wavelength-dependent MAC(λ) decreased by a factor of
0.72 ± 0.08, consistent with previous laboratory studies and reports
of photobleaching. On the other hand, NO3⚫ exposure increased
MAC(λ) by a factor of up to 1.69 ± 0.38. We also noted some
sensitivity of aerosol aging to different fire conditions between Arizona
and Oregon. The MAC(λ) enhancement following NO3⚫ exposure was found to correlate with an enhancement in CHO1N and
CHOgt1N ion families measured by an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer.
Regionalization of hydrological model parameters using gradient boosting machine
Authors: Song Zhihong , Xia Jun , Wang Gangsheng , She Dunxian , Hu Chen , Hong Si
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Regionalization of hydrological model parameters is key to hydrological predictions in ungauged basins. The commonly used multiple linear regression (MLR) method may not be applicable in complex and nonlinear relationships between model parameters and watershed properties. Moreover, most regionalization methods assume lumped parameters for each catchment without considering within-catchment heterogeneity. Here we incorporated the Penman-Monteith-Leuning (PML) equation into the Distributed Time-Variant Gain Model (DTVGM) to improve the mechanistic representation of the evapotranspiration process. We calibrated six key model parameters grid-by-grid across China using a multivariable calibration strategy, which incorporates spatiotemporal runoff and evapotranspiration (ET) datasets (0.25°, monthly) as reference. In addition, we used the gradient boosting machine (GBM), a machine learning technique, to portray the dependence of model parameters on soil and terrain attributes in four distinct climatic zones across China. We show that the modified DTVGM could reasonably estimate the runoff and ET over China using the calibrated parameters, but performed better in humid than arid regions for the validation period. The regionalized parameters by the GBM method exhibited better spatial coherence relative to the calibrated grid-by-grid parameters. In addition, GBM outperformed the stepwise MLR method in both parameter regionalization and gridded runoff simulations at national scale, though the improvement is not significant pertaining to watershed streamflow validation due to most of the watersheds being located in humid regions. We also revealed that the slope, saturated soil moisture content, and elevation are the most important explanatory variables to inform model parameters based on the GBM approach. The machine-learning-based regionalization approach provides an effective alternative to deriving hydrological model parameters by using watershed properties in ungauged regions.
The Impact of Wind on the Rainfall-Runoff Relationship in Urban High-Rise Building Areas
Authors: Gao Xichao , Yang Zhiyong , Han Dawei , Gao Kai , Zhu Qian
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Wind drift has a significant influence on the rainfall-runoff relationship in urban high-rise building areas since the oblique rainfall caused by the wind drift can interact with the building walls. However, the impact of the rainfall inclination angle on the rainfall-runoff process in urban high-rise building areas has not been studied. In this study, the relationship between wind and the rainfall-runoff process in such areas was explored. A theoretical framework was developed to describe their relationship, including a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to obtain the relationship between wind speed and rainfall inclination and a newly derived equation to describe the relationship between rainfall inclination and the runoff coefficient. Subsequently, a laboratory scale model experiment was conducted to verify the proposed framework. The main results are that (1) the runoff coefficient calculated by the proposed theoretical framework is highly consistent with that obtained from the laboratory experiment; (2) the runoff coefficient of urban high-rise building areas increases with wind speed; (3) the change of the runoff coefficient for the experiment with larger raindrop is 0.047 when the wind speed increases from 0 to 5.9 m/s while that for the experiment with smaller raindrop is 0.064, which means that the rainfall with larger droplets is less influenced by the wind.
Teacher characteristics and the Use of ICT in Rural Secondary Schools of Bwera Sub County, Kasese District, Uganda
Authors: Kule Ashirafu Masudi , Wilson Mugizi , Ampeire Kariisa Henry , Turiabe Victor
Published: August 2021

This study investigated the relationship between teachers’ characteristics and their use of ICT in teaching in rural secondary schools located in Bwera Sub County, Kasese District of Uganda.  Bwera Sub County is a hard-to-reach rural area in western Uganda. Specifically, the study examined whether teacher characteristics, namely, teachers perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and teacher ICT competence, influenced teachers’ use of ICT in teaching with the secondary schools. Using the correlational research design, data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 127 school teachers. Descriptive results revealed that teachers rated their use of ICT and perceived competence as poor, rated ICT's usefulness as good, and their use of ICT as fair. Regression analysis revealed that perceived usefulness, ease of use, and ICT competence had a positive and significant influence on ICT use in teaching and learning. It was concluded that perceived usefulness is a prerequisite for teachers’ use of ICT, perceived ease of use is imperative for the use of ICT, and competence is essential for the use of ICT. Therefore, it was recommended that in rural secondary schools, the Ministry of Education and headteachers should provide awareness training to teachers about the usefulness of IC, train teachers to use ICT, and develop their ICT competence.
Australian Television Drama Index, 1999-2019
Authors: Lotz Amanda , Potter Anna , McCutcheon Marion , Sanson Kevin , Eklund Oliver
Published: August 2021

This report examines changes in the production and commissioning of Australian television drama from 1999–2019, a period marked by notable changes in the business of television in Australia and globally. More production companies now make drama in Australia; however, the fact that more companies share less than half the annual hours once produced raises concerns about sustainability. Several major Australian production companies have been acquired by foreign conglomerates and challenge the viability of domestic companies that lack access to international corporate capital and distribution. The decrease in adult drama hours commissioned by commercial broadcasters has reshaped Australian television drama more than any other change. The national broadcasters have increased their role in commissioning, particularly in children’s drama. Titles have not decreased nearly as significantly as the number of episodes per series. Commercial broadcasters’ drama decreased from an average of 21 episodes per title in 1999 to seven in 2019, a 60 per cent decrease that, along with the increasing peripheralization of soaps, has diminished available training grounds and career paths in the Australian scripted production industry.
A MEDIATION MODEL TO EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS SKILLS AND PROBABILISTIC REASONING ON STATISTICS ACHIEVEMENT
Authors: PRIMI CATERINA , DONATI MARIA ANNA , CHIESI FRANCESCA
Published: August 2021

Among the wide range of factors related to the acquisition of statistical knowledge, competence in basic mathematics, including basic probability, has received much attention. In this study, a mediation model was estimated to derive the total, direct, and indirect effects of mathematical competence on statistics achievement taking into account probabilistic reasoning ability. The participants were psychology students enrolled in an undergraduate introductory statistics course. At the eginning of the course, all students completed a questionnaire to measure their proficiency in the basic probabilistic reasoning and mathematics skills required in introductory statistics courses. At the end of the course, the students’ final grades were collected. The hypothesized mediation model was tested using a bootstrapping procedure (with 5000 bootstrap samples). Results showed a significant positive, indirect effect of mathematical competence on students’ final grades, with probabilistic reasoning ability acting as a mediator. This study suggests that interventions designed to promote the mathematical prerequisites necessary to probabilistic reasoning can have a positive effect on achievement in statistics.

WHAT’S MISSING IN TEACHING PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS: BUILDING COGNITIVE SCHEMA FOR UNDERSTANDING RANDOM PHENOMENA
Authors: KUZMAK SYLVIA
Published: August 2021

Teaching probability and statistics is more than teaching the mathematics itself. Historically, the mathematics of probability and statistics was first developed through analyzing games of chance such as the rolling of dice. This article makes the case that the understanding of probability and statistics is dependent upon building a “mature” understanding of common random phenomena such as the rolling of dice or the blind drawing of balls from an urn. An analysis of the verbalizations of 24 college students, who interact with random phenomena involving the mixture of colored marbles, is presented, using cognitive schema to represent the subjects’ expressed understanding. A cognitive schema representing a mature understanding is contrasted to a diversity of observed immature understandings. Teaching to explicitly build the mature cognitive schema is proposed.

Authors: GÓMEZ-TORRES EMILSE , BATANERO CARMEN , DÍAZ CARMEN , CONTRERAS JOSÉ MIGUEL
Published: August 2021

In this paper we describe the development of a questionnaire designed to assess the probability content knowledge of prospective primary school teachers. Three components of mathematical knowledge for teaching and three different meanings of probability (classical, frequentist and subjective) are considered. The questionnaire content is based on curricular guidelines and primary school textbooks in Spain. The items were selected and adapted, after expert judgment, from previous research. The responses of 157 prospective primary school teachers were used to analyze the psychometric properties of the questionnaire and to provide information about various aspects of participants’ probability content knowledge.

THE ROLE OF PROBABILITY IN DEVELOPING LEARNERS’ MODELS OF SIMULATION APPROACHES TO INFERENCE
Authors: LEE HOLLYLYNNE S. , DOERR HELEN M. , TRAN DUNG , LOVETT JENNIFER N.
Published: August 2021

Repeated sampling approaches to inference that rely on simulations have recently gained prominence in statistics education, and probabilistic concepts are at the core of this approach. In this approach, learners need to develop a mapping among the problem situation, a physical enactment, computer representations, and the underlying randomization and sampling processes. We explicate the role of probability in this approach and draw upon a models and modeling perspective to support the development of teachers’ models for using a repeated sampling approach for inference. We explicate the model development task sequence and examine the teachers’ representations of their conceptualizations of a repeated sampling approach for inference. We propose key conceptualizations that can guide instruction when using simulations and repeated sampling for drawing inferences.

Inverse Reconstruction of Cell Proliferation Laws in Cancer Invasion Modelling
Authors: Trucu Dumitru , Alwuthaynani Maher
Published: August 2021

The process of local cancer cell invasion of the surrounding tissue is key for the overall tumour growth and spread within the human body, the past 3 decades witnessing intense mathematical modelling efforts in these regards. However, for a deep understanding of the cancer invasion process these modelling studies require robust data assimilation approaches. While being of crucial importance in assimilating potential clinical data, the inverse problems approaches in cancer modelling are still in their early stages, with questions regarding the retrieval of the characteristics of tumour cells motility, cells mutations, and cells population proliferation, remaining widely open. This study deals with the identification and reconstruction of the usually unknown cancer cell proliferation law in cancer modelling from macroscopic tumour snapshot data collected at some later stage in the tumour evolution. Considering two basic tumour configurations, associated with the case of one cancer cells population and two cancer cells subpopulations that exercise their dynamics within the extracellular matrix, we combine Tikhonov regularisation and gaussian mollification approaches with finite element and finite differences approximations to reconstruct the proliferation laws for each of these sub-populations from both exact and noisy measurements. Our inverse problem formulation is accompanied by numerical examples for the reconstruction of several proliferation laws used in cancer growth modelling.
The Vienna Protocol and Reflections on Nazi Medicine: Murder à la Carte
Authors: Polak Rabbi Joseph
Published: August 2021

An historian of World War II Germany was asked, about whether there was a single ideological notion that proved to be the most influential in allowing the horrific evils of the Holocaust to take place. It is the very idea, derived from the Romantics, he wrote, that artists are entitled to live outside of morality. Hitler and others unquestionably saw themselves in this way. With this realization we have arrived at the reductio ad absurdum of this Romantic ethic: the Artist as Murderer. And it is because we believe that like artists, physicians occupy a higher sphere, that we have, in Holocaust times, the transformation of the physician, like the artist, into the murderer. Like the artist, who murders but does not do so with his own hand, the physician supervises executions and unspeakable experiments. Anatomists buttressed their collections at a range of German and Austrian universities, by placing orders from among the executed and about-to-be executed. It is this that I have in mind when I speak of "murder-a-la-carte." Pernkopf was one of these anatomists. Through the atlas he immortalizes the victims. Years later, a surgeon asks about the atlas and protocols for continued use, to benefit patients and educate, are created. The surgeon may well be rescuing the medical profession itself from its own historical sins of presumed unaccountability, of returning it to a human place where the dignity of the patient remains inviolable, and where the victims of medically inspired evil gaze out at us from the pages of the atlas, both as a blessing and as a warning.

What Should Be Done with Pernkopf’s Anatomical Illustrations? A Commentary from the Medical University of Vienna
Authors: Czech Herwig , Druml Christiane , J. Weninger Wolfgang , Müller Markus
Published: August 2021

Thanks to a recent donation by Elsevier, the Medical University of Vienna now holds in its collections the known existing original paintings for Eduard Pernkopf's Atlas of Topographic and Applied Human Anatomy. This atlas is widely considered a pinnacle of the art of anatomical illustration. However, it is severely tainted by its historical origins. Pernkopf was a high-ranking National Socialist and co-responsible for the expulsion of hundreds of Jewish scientists and students from the university. Also, the Vienna Institute of Anatomy, which Pernkopf headed, received during the war the bodies of at least 1377 people executed by the regime, many for their political views or acts of resistance, including at least seven Jewish victims. Although it is impossible to individually identify the people used for the atlas, it is to be assumed that a considerable number of the paintings produced during and after the war are based on the bodies of these victims. Against this background, and out of respect for the victims, use of Pernkopf's atlas in medical teaching and training should be — wherever possible without compromising medical outcomes — reduced to a minimum.

Given the strong variability of human anatomy, even the most detailed anatomical illustrations cannot replace teaching and training in the dissection room. As the experience at the Medical University of Vienna and elsewhere demonstrates, Pernkopf's atlas is far from irreplaceable.

In keeping with the stipulations of the contract of donation, the Medical University of Vienna considers the Pernkopf originals primarily as historical artifacts, which will support the investigation and teaching of this dark chapter of the history of medicine in Austria, out of responsibility towards the victims.

Nerve Surgeons’ Assessment of the Role of Eduard Pernkopf ’s Atlas of Topographic and Applied Human Anatomy in Surgical Practice
Authors: Yee Andrew , Coombs Demetrius M. , Hildebrandt Sabine , Seidelman William E. , Coert J. Henk , Mackinnon Susan E.
Published: August 2021

Pernkopf's Atlas of Anatomy contains anatomical plates with detailed images of the peripheral nerves. Its use is controversial due to the author's association with the "Third Reich" and the potential depiction of victims of the Holocaust. The ethical implications of using this atlas for informing surgical planning have not been assessed. Our objectives were: (1) assess the role of Pernkopf's atlas in nerve surgeons' current practice, and (2) determine whether a proposal for its ethical handling may provide possible guidance for use in surgery and surgical education.

Anatomy in Nazi Germany: The Use of Victims’ Bodies in Academia and Present-Day Legacies
Authors: Hildebrandt Sabine
Published: August 2021

After decades of denial, German academic medicine was reluctant to accept responsibility for its complex collaboration with the Nazi regime. Consequently, much of this history needs further detailed exploration, as legacies from this history still exist in the form of "Books, Bones and Bodies." Specifically, this concerns the legacies of anatomists' use of bodies of Nazi victims in teaching and research, as "data" have become anatomical knowledge, and the specimens from victims continue to be discovered.

Dissecting the History of Anatomy in the Third Reich
Authors: Seidelman William E.
Published: August 2021

This paper is a personal narrative of involvement with the revelations of the use of anatomical and pathological specimens of victims of Nazi terror. The narrative documents responses to the question of the retention and use of anatomical and pathological specimens from victims of Nazi terror by leading academic and scientific institutions and organizations in Germany and Austria including the government of the Federal Republic of (West) Germany, the University of Tübingen, the University of Vienna, the Max Planck Society and the Anatomische Gesellschaft. It begins with the public revelations of 1989 and concludes with the September 2010 Symposium on the History of Anatomy during the Third Reich at the University of Würzburg. The narrative documents a 22-year transition in attitude and responses to the investigation and documentation of the history of anatomy and pathology during the Third Reich. The chronicle includes the 1989 proposed “Call for an International Commemoration” by the author, together with the bioethicist Professor Arthur Caplan, on the occasion of the planned burial of the misbegotten specimens and the responses to that proposal.

Bâb-ı Fetvâ Sicill-i Ahvâl İdaresi Belgelerinin Ensâb İlmi Açısından Önemi
Authors: YILDIZ Esra
Published: August 2021

Osmanlı Devleti, kendisinden önceki Müslüman devletlerden tevarüs ettiği ilmi birikimi geliştirerek gelecek nesillere aktarmıştır. Bunlardan birisi de Arap toplumunda yaygın olan “soybilim, jeneoloji, ensab cetveli, şecere, silsile ve soy kütüğü” gibi kavramlarla da ifade edilen “Ensâb İlmi”dir. Devletin ensab ilmini daha düzenli ve sistematik hale getirmesinin en temel sebebi Hz. Peygamber’in soyunun zekat almaması gerekçesiyle maddi açıdan onları desteklemek ve kendilerine gösterilen saygı ve muhabbetin devamını sağlamaktır. Osmanlı Devleti’nde Hz. Peygamber’in soyundan gelen seyyidlerin nesepleriyle ilgili kayıtların tutulması ve diğer işlemlerin yürütülmesi görevi Şeyhülislamlık bünyesindeki Nakîbü’l-eşrâflığa verilmiştir. Seyyid ulemanın özlük bilgi ve belgeleri de Bâb-ı Fetvâ Sicill-i Ahvâl İdaresi tarafından muhafaza edilmiştir. Meşihat Arşivi’ndeki Sicill-i Ahvâl İdaresi defter ve belgeleri, Hz. Peygamber’in, sahabe-i kirâmın ve diğer meşhur ailelere mensubiyeti bulunan ulemanın nesep bilgilerini ihtiva etmesi açısından birincil kaynaklardır. Bu makalede, “Ensab İlminin İslam Tarihi’ndeki Yeri”, “Son dönem Osmanlı ulemasının Soybilimi Açısından Bâb-ı Fetvâ Sicill-i Ahvâl İdaresi”, “Sicill-i Ahvâl İdaresi’nin Ensab İlmi Açısından Önemi ve Ulemanın Soybilimsel Analizi (1876-1924 yılları)” konuları ele alınacaktır. İlk olarak Şeyhülislâmlığın temel kaynağı olan Meşihat Arşivi’ndeki defter ve belgeler ışığında Osmanlı ulemasının nesep bilgileri tahlil edilecektir. Hz. Peygamber’in nesebine mensup ulemanın seyyidliğini ispatlama yöntemi, sahabe-i kirâm ve dönemin meşhur ailelerinden olan ulemanın nesep bilgileri verilmek suretiyle istatistiki veriler ortaya konulacaktır. Böylece Osmanlı Devleti’nde soybiliminin kullanım alanı ve gerekçesi, devletin jeneoloji alanına yaklaşımı ve resmi olarak kayıt altına alınma işlemleri günyüzüne çıkartılacaktır.

Published: August 2021

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal-dominant disorder with multisystem involvement. Genitourinary involvement of neurofibromatosis type 1 is rare condition and involvement of plexiform neurofibroma can cause painful clitoromegaly. A 9-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type-1 referred with clitoromegaly to our endocrinology clinic. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (T2W images) showed that plexiform neurofibroma was found on the pelvic floor and peripubic region, which was 8x7x13 cm in size, extending to the external genital region and progressing to subcutaneous soft tissue. Cranial and lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging revealed two neurofibromas in the cerebellar region and the basal ganglia. We emphasize it should be kept in mind that suspicious genitalia may develop due to infiltration of space occupying formations such as neurofibromas.
A Bibliometric Analysis in the Field of Pediatric Anesthesia and Turkey’s Contribution to Research
Authors: Ayvat Pınar
Published: August 2021

Objective: Bibliometric analysis can be used to assess the contributions of scholars, institutions, countries by examining the materials published in a certain discipline. The objective of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis in the field of pediatric anesthesia and to examine Turkey’s contribution to research in this field. Methods: I used the search engine of the Web of Science (WoS), and included all types of contributions (original articles, reviews, letters, editorials, etc.) in the bibliometric analysis. I scanned Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) as they were the most relevant indexes for my study. Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS 22. I used a binomial test to make a comparison between Turkey and other countries in terms of research output, and academic performance. Results: Pediatric Anesthesia is the only journal that positions itself in WoS categories of both “pediatrics” and “anesthesia”. A total of 5,791 citations were found in this particular journal of which 227 were from Turkey. In addition to this journal, 2,096 published materials were found in 433 different sources. Turkish authors have made only 61 contributions to these journals. Hacettepe University, Istanbul University, and Baskent University are the predominant institutions from Turkey accounting for a total of 80 published materials. Conclusion: The findings of this bibliometric analysis not only showed the contribution of Turkish authors to the field of pediatric anesthesia but also revealed the areas of improvement for their future research. The study also showed a list of journals that publish articles in the area of pediatric anesthesia.

The purpose of this article is to present a wedding feast in Moldova in the XVII century – the beginning of the XIX century, based on available sources, which are not rich in the description of the wedding feast ceremonial. We will notice, that the Romanian national traditions and customs were respected, regardless of the social category; the difference consisting in the amounts allocated for the organization of the festive meal, for entertainment, gifts etc. The wedding feasts organized at the Principality Court or at the boyar courts, unlike those held in the families of other categories of inhabitants, were distinguished by luxury and abundance of products, by the quantity and diversity of food and drinks. The variety of dishes, their number and the splendor of the whole feast depended on the economic and financial situation of the families involved. In elite families, the feast lasted several days in a row, in ordinary families – one day. In the families of the elites, in order to entertain the present audience, various amusing activities were organized, while in ordinary families the activities were simpler – fiddle music was played, traditional hora was danced, etc

The city image presents an important part of urban research, because representations about the city basically underlie urban identities and are connected with its symbolic capital and attractiveness for the residents. Our earlier research of urban identity in Chisinau included images of the city it was based on and showed their inconsistency. Considering that images represent cognitive and emotional matrixes of the historic period of their formation, congruent with the existing social construct, it is important to trace dynamics of formation and contents of the Chisinau images, which are being formed as the public/brand ones in the touristic albums and guides of the Soviet period, as well as in the years of independence of the Republic of Moldova. For this purpose, we selected several sources from the both periods and carried out their comparison according to the identified categories. The results of the analysis proved the existing correlation between the city image from the albums and the main notional trends of the time of their creation. We can trace evolution of creation of the “new” city concept in the Soviet period and flourishing of this idea in 1980s. During the independence period the city image reflects some obvious ideas of identity search, revision of history, a European city, revival of traditional culture as one of the key components of national identity, which will define the appearance of the city as well. It is challenging to continue the research on additional sources from the last 5–10 years.
