與其他技術（如虛擬實境、遊戲、語料庫）相比，擴增實境（AR）是一種新技術。過去的研究指出AR 對詞彙學習成績的促進作用。然而，無有實現足夠重大的證據於效應值之調查，以瞭解如何應用AR於詞彙學習。本綜合分析研究檢查了整體效應值並揭示了效應的調節因素。自13 項原始研究，應用 AR 於詞彙學習顯示出相當大的整體效果 (d = 0.84)。分析調節變項表明AR 的實際應用仍然局限於在外語環境中的英語詞彙學習之範圍。國小學生被顯示從 AR 項目中受益最多。教師指導式和任務型的方法是至關重要對於在 AR 環境中學習詞彙。本研究還討論了未來調查的 AR 詞彙學習研究差距。

 

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology compared with other technologies (e.g., virtual reality, game, corpus). Past research has indicated the facilitative effect of AR on vocabulary learning achievement. However, no investigation with substantial evidence of the effect size has been conducted to understand how AR can be applied to vocabulary learning. The present meta-analytic study examines the overall effect size and uncover the effect’s moderating factors. Generated from 13 primary studies, implementing AR for vocabulary learning showed a sizeable overall effect (d = 0.84). The moderator analysis indicated that the practical application of AR was still limited in its scope for English vocabulary learning in a foreign language context. Elementary school students were found to benefit the most from AR programs. Teacher-directed and task-based approaches were essential for learning vocabulary in an AR environment. The present study also discusses AR vocabulary learning research gaps for future investigations.

透過電腦媒介溝通的跨國合作學習，已經成為學習外語學生發展跨文化溝通知能的流行取向。諸多社會文化學習理論均支持來自不同文化背景的同儕互動，可以增進跨文化知識與理解。因此，來自台灣以及美國大學的教學研究者，進行一項線上跨國合作研究專案來提升學生跨文化溝通知能。討論題目包含跨文化間的比較以及相關議題討論。討論議題雖由教學者提供，學生卻能透過網路科技自發性地主導彼此間的討論。研究資料包含學生討論錄音記錄、反思日誌、訪談與問卷。在線上跨國合作研究期間，參與研究學生釐清了來自對互動同儕社會文化背景的刻板印象，他們也同時重新檢視自身環境文化脈絡如何形塑並影響自己的社會偏見。本研究能提供未來以英文為外語的教學如何結合線上跨文化暨跨國合作的參考，並且瞭解此種創新混成教學如何提升學生的跨文化意識。

 

Telecollaboration, a type of computer-mediated communication, has recently emerged as a popular approach to developing intercultural communicative competence amongst foreign language students. Various sociocultural learning theories support the notion that interactions between peers of different backgrounds may expedite intercultural familiarity and understanding. Thus, instructors at two universities in Taiwan and the USA cooperated on a project to develop students’ intercultural communicative competence by having them engage in online telecollaborations. Instructors prepared topics of discussion that could highlight cultural comparisons and prompt discussion. While instructors supplied a foundation for discourse, the students autonomously led their discussions through their personal interactions utilizing modern digital technology. Data collection included typed transcripts of discussions, reflection logs, interviews, and questionnaires. Over the course of the telecollaborations, participants clarified their stereotypes of expected sociocultural norms of their interlocutors, and they re-examined how their cultural moorings have shaped and influenced their social biases. This study may provide insights into how intercultural telecollaborations can be used and refined in future EFL pedagogy and to what extent educators can expect an increase in their learners’ intercultural awareness.

 
第二語言環境下朋輩輔導對英語寫作的影響：以香港為例
Authors: 杜素琴 杜素琴 , 姚瑤 姚瑤
Published: August 2022

在香港高校的全英文教學環境下，學術英語技能對許多學生來說是一個挑戰。因此，學生對英語寫作指導的高需求使得朋輩輔導成為彌補教學資源不足的重要選擇。對朋輩輔導中輔導語言研究（同時使用第一語言L1和第二語言L2）的諸多成果已經為提高學生的英語寫作和溝通能力奠定了堅實的基礎，但用於檢驗朋輩輔導在全英文教學環境（即僅使用 L2）中的輔導效果的實證研究仍然有限。因此，本研究分析了朋輩輔導在一個（英語）寫作諮詢項目中的效果。在全英文教學的大學環境下，這個項目為現有的英語寫作輔導起到了彌補教學資源不足的作用。本研究採用了多重檢核的研究方法，建立了360度監控和評估機制。在項目的各個實施階段，監管其進度和有效性。研究結果表明，朋輩導師在學生和課程教師之間起著關鍵的仲介作用。這表明了該寫作諮詢項目不僅滿足了非英語母語學生對寫作指導的需求，而且促進了朋輩導師的個人整體成長，增強了他們對語言知識的有意義使用。

 

Academic English skills have been challenging for many students in English-medium universities in Hong Kong. Thus, the high demand for writing assistance has made peer tutoring an essential alternative to make up for the inadequate teaching resources. Extensive research on the language use (using both first language L1 and second language L2) in peer tutoring has laid a solid foundation in improving English writing and communication skills, yet limited empirical studies are available to examine the effects of peer tutoring in an English-medium (L2 only) context. The present study analyzes the effects of a writing consultation project to complement the existing English writing support services offered on English-medium university campuses. The study employs a triangulated approach in which a 360-degree monitoring and evaluation mechanism was set up to regulate the progress and effectiveness of the project at different implementation stages. Findings demonstrate that peer tutors play a key intermediary role between tutees and course teachers, suggesting that the project not only met the writing needs of non-native English-speaking students, but also fostered tutors’ whole personal growth and enhanced the meaningful use of their linguistic knowledge.

 
作為〝民族誌研究者〞的跨文化商務實踐人：在COVID-19的環境下跟〝類似的他人〞一起工作
Authors: 石塚翔 石塚翔 , 田中宏昌 田中宏昌
Published: August 2022

跨文化交際的能力被認為是在國際化環境下工作的人應具備的基本特質之一。最近的研究表明，培養民族誌技能會幫助員工提高跨文化交際能力。民族誌學者接受過專業訓練，通過仔細觀察來理解〝他人〞的文化。然而，很少有研究揭示商務實踐者如何應用民族誌的手法進行跨文化溝通。本研究的數據取自長期在日中跨文化環境下工作的研究參加者。中國人和日本人既有許多共同點也同時存在很多差異。兩者之間的文化差異用現有的文化差異緯度模式是不容易解釋的。為了探究研究參加者在這種複雜的跨文化環境下的行為，筆者進行了三年以上的定期深入採訪。由於採訪期間經歷了COVID-19的大流行，收集的資料也體現了COVID-19的制約給研究參加者帶來的影響。本研究提出兩個研究問題：其一，〝商務實踐者如何使用民族誌手法去理解文化相近的他人？〞其二，〝COVID-19的大流行對研究參加者的努力有了怎樣的影響？〞研究結果表明，研究參加者使用持久觀察，建立暫定假說，同事和第三方驗證，以及自己的實踐應用等手法來解決他們遇到的跨文化障礙。

 

The ability to communicate interculturally is considered a primary attribute in people conducting business globally. Recent studies suggest that training in ethnographic techniques helps people develop intercultural communication competence. Ethnographers are trained to observe and attempt to understand cultural "others" carefully. However, few studies demonstrate how business practitioners use ethnography for intercultural communication. This study analyzes data collected by longitudinal engagement with people who work in China-Japan intercultural workplaces. Chinese and Japanese share commonalities as well as differences. The relationship of the two cultural groups is not easily understood by applying ready-made cultural dimensions. To examine the participants’ behavior in this complex interculturality, in-depth unstructured interviews were conducted periodically over three years. Since the data collection period included the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the data also illustrate how the pandemic-induced constraints influenced the ethnographer-business practitioners. Two research questions were posed: "How do the business practitioners use ethnographic techniques to understand the "culturally similar" others? Moreover, “How does the pandemic situation influence their efforts?" The data demonstrate the participants’ use of persistent observation, working hypotheses building, data validation by peer debriefing and triangulation, and their application of the findings to their practice.

Authors:   Rayanne Karina Silva Cruz,   Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli da Costa Oliveira
Published: August 2022

Este livro originou-se a partir de uma dissertação de mestrado. O levantamento nacional de saúde bucal, “Projeto SB Brasil”, destaca-se enquanto principal estratégia de vigilância em saúde bucal no eixo da produção de dados primários, cooperando para a construção de uma política baseada em modelos de base epidemiológica. Em situações de baixa prevalência de cárie, os índices utilizados atualmente podem perder poder discriminatório no sentido de refletir a severidade da cárie dentária. O objetivo da pesquisa foi construir e validar de um índice de severidade da cárie dentária, através de um conjunto arbitrário de pontuações de acordo com o perfil de cárie dentária e necessidades de tratamento. A pesquisa se apropriou dos dados do SB Brasil 2003 e 2010 para a construção e validação de um Índice de Severidade de Cárie Dentária. A pesquisa é do tipo individuado com base em dados secundários, tendo, como unidade de análise, a população brasileira nos grupos etários de 12 anos, 15-19 anos e 35-44 anos. Os métodos foram divididos em etapas, onde a primeira foi a formulação das propostas com diferentes escores para a progressão da cárie através da atribuição específica de pontuações para as condições de dente hígido até dente com necessidade de extração, a partir da associação dos índices CPO-D e Necessidade de Tratamento. A segunda etapa foi a análise dos coeficientes de variação e a terceira foi a validação de constructo do indicador. Não houveram diferenças entre as propostas, ao se analisar os coeficientes de variação. O constructo foi analisado e validado a partir da relação com as variáveis região, capital/interior, grupo étnico, renda e anos de estudo. Observou-se que o novo índice conseguiu discriminar os diferentes estágios do componente cariado. Concluiu-se que o produto do estudo será útil para atividades de planejamento em Saúde Bucal Coletiva, na perspectiva de priorizar o acesso ao serviço para os grupos com maior severidade, acrescentando maior poder discriminatório aos índices de cárie e necessidade de tratamento.

A finalidade do método Rápido é determinar de modo objetivo e confiável o comprimento da maior pista de vento, ou fetch, em um corpo de água continental de grande superfície, como lagos e reservatórios. Constitui-se em um método gráfico inovador que deve ser aplicado diretamente sobre um mapa ou imagem de satélite dotado de escala gráfica. O método pode ser aplicado via traçado manual ou ainda, utilizando interface computacional. Além do caráter fundamental em permitir a determinação rápida de elementos de onda como a amplitude, o período e o comprimento, via equações paramétricas, um método rápido de determinação do fetch máximo permitiria classificar o corpo de água de acordo com a magnitude das maiores alturas de ondas geradas pelo vento. A aplicação do método independe de características geométricas dos contornos do corpo hídrico, como dendriticidade, sinuosidade e escala espacial. Pelo presente estudo o método será apresentado e validado pela aplicação ao reservatório de Itaipu.

Biogás: uma forma de energia limpa e renovável em meio a uma crise mundial ambiental
Authors: Sbano João Victor Rego Ferreira , Ferreira Andressa Sbano da Silva , Pessoa Denise Maria Mano , De Campos Tácio Mauro Pereira , Cardoso Alexander Machado
Published: August 2022

Existe uma preocupação mundial relacionada às necessidades energéticas atuais e futuras. O investimento em energia limpa está aumentando gradualmente, mas ainda está muito aquém do que é necessário para atender à crescente demanda por serviços de energia de maneira sustentável. Dentre os principais gases de efeito estufa destaca-se o gás metano (CH4). As fontes antropogênicas de CH4 correspondem a 60% das emissões globais, destacando-se a decomposição de resíduos em aterros sanitários (até 20% do total das emissões). Uma forma utilizada para obtenção do biogás é o aproveitamento energético do lixo. Diversos países iniciaram a instalação de usinas de biogás em aterros sanitários para não só promover economia energética, como também favorecer a diminuição da emissão do metano na atmosfera. A redução das emissões desses gases é uma preocupação constante do governo. O Ministério do Desenvolvimento Regional vem também incentivando o uso de Mecanismos de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL) de modo a possibilitar a comercialização de “créditos de carbono” aos países ou cidades que não conseguem reduzir seus níveis aos padrões exigidos pelo Protocolo de Quioto.

Fernando de Azevedo: desafios e perspectivas para a Escola Nova de 1932
Authors: Sabatine Edna Aparecida Pitelli , Volpato Elaine Regina Olivares Volpato
Published: August 2022

O artigo analisa a crítica empreendida por Fernando de Azevedo (1894-1974) acerca da Escola Tradicional. A discussão suscitada pelo autor propunha a reconstrução da educação pública brasileira sob o clima de renovação política e social trazido pela Revolução de 1930, incorporado pelo movimento escolanovista na década de 1920. Para a realização deste estudo, foram utilizados como fonte livros escritos pelo autor e o Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova de 1932. O texto encontra-se organizado em três momentos. Primeiramente, trata sobre os aspectos históricos e sociais da época. Na sequência, analisa a trajetória de vida de Fernando de Azevedo, sua teoria e sua concepção de educação. Por último, a análise se concentra no Manifesto de 1932. O estudo permitiu compreender que Azevedo possuía um projeto para a educação brasileira, a qual buscava reformar concomitantemente às transformações sociais e dirigindo-as ao mesmo sentido. Nesse processo, a educação desempenhava um importante papel e, por essa razão, não poderia ser isolada do conjunto das transformações necessárias ao país.

Método: Trata-se de estudo piloto, em que foram avaliados 15 idosos, sendo adotado como critério de exclusão:  ter comprometimento cognitivo, avaliado pelo item 2.7 da caderneta de saúde da pessoa idosa, ser desdentado em ambos os arcos dentários e/ou não possuir dentes molares. Utilizou-se um equipamento eletromiográfico associado a um jogo virtual para smartphones e tablets, que registrou as atividades do músculo masseter e supra-hioideos bilateralmente, via bluetooth. Resultados: O valor médio de força de mordida para o masseter do lado direito foi de: 227 ± 23,4 (μV), e esquerdo de 213 ±32,4 (μV). Para a musculatura supra-hioidea o valor médio do lado direito foi de 216 ± 36,1 (μV), e esquerdo de 208 ± 43,9 (μV). Conclusão: Verificou-se que o equipamento associado ao aplicativo é capaz de captar as contrações e decodificar os sinais eletromiográficos, e por ser de baixocusto e de fácil manuseio, poderá contribuir na terapêutica mastigatória e da deglutição de idosos.
Utilização da esclerometria para a determinação da resistência de alvenarias antigas
Authors: Mello Gláucia Nolasco de Almeida , Bremer Cynara Fiedler
Published: August 2022

A esclerometria é uma técnica não destrutiva usada para estimar a resistência mecânica de uma superfície. Embora inicialmente desenvolvido para materiais cimentícios e concretos, estudos mostram que esse tipo de ensaio também pode ser aplicado com boa precisão em alvenarias compostas por outros materiais. Assim, este trabalho apresenta uma avaliação da aplicação da esclerometria como método não destrutivo para determinação da resistência da alvenaria da igreja Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, em Caeté/MG, Brasil. Os testes de esclerometria foram realizados em sete áreas da alvenaria externa e interna da igreja. Os índices esclerométricos foram determinados e utilizados para estimar a resistência à compressão da alvenaria. Na igreja avaliada, a alvenaria externa foi construída com material rochoso e a alvenaria interna com adobe. Para a alvenaria composta por material rochoso a resistência à compressão estimada variou entre 22,0 MPa e 27,0 MPa. Para alvenaria de adobe a resistência não pôde ser estimada por este procedimento devido à falta de embasamento teórico. Os resultados preliminares indicam que a alvenaria apresenta resistências compatíveis com as resistências esperadas para uma alvenaria de pedra.
ML based stock prediction method for accurate future prediction of stock market
Authors: Hiray Poonam Vasant , Patankar Abhijit , Doke Priyadarshani
Published: August 2022

A CNN methodology can yield pretty accurate results on stock prices if we look at day-to-day fluctuation in stock prices, but where this method fails is in anticipating big changes in prices that are not based on trends. In technical analysis, price patterns are used to identify transitions between rising and falling trends. A price movement pattern that may be calculated using a series of trend lines and/or curves is known as a cost sequence. Finding patterns in high-dimensional data might be difficult since it is difficult to visualize. Many different machine learning algorithms can match this high-dimensional data to predict and classify future events, but having the computer learn the match for a specific area of the dataset might be expensive. Using deep learning, this study proposes a way for identifying various stock market pricing styles. A CNN is used to find the pattern in stock market data, and projections are made based on it. The stock pattern is divided into five pieces. Price stability, stock value fall (quick decline, moderate decline), and stock value increase (rapid increase, gradual increase). The accuracy of our system is 98.17 %.

Design strategies for the development of mHealth services in healthcare of adolescents with cancer
Authors: Karpathaki Amanda , Sargianou Anna
Published: August 2022

During the developmental stage of adolescence, profound physical, cognitive, and emotional changes occur, thus making adolescent cancer patients a population that seemingly have unique needs for support and treatment. Health-related difficulties have been effectively addressed by the use of portable and accessible technology interventions. Adolescents may benefit from mobile health (mHealth) applications that highlight the significance of their integration into medical procedures and public health, due to their innate capacity to use modern technology services. After reviewing 31 articles, it appears that well-designed mHealth practices have the potential to enhance the long-term devotion of the user to the received intervention. MHealth tools seem to incorporate widely applied theories such as Behavior Change Theory, User centered Design, Social Marketing Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, Self-Determination Theory and Narrative Transportation Theory, in order to increase patients’ engagement with the main purpose of behavioral change. The aforementioned theoretical frameworks include engaging strategies such as developmentally accepted content, rewards, customization, user feedback, time-appropriate intervention delivery, multimedia provision, ease to use and therapeutically designed games that could be implemented in mHealth interventions for adolescents with a cancer diagnosis. Both the theoretical structure and the engaging characteristics present a few limitations. These are discussed at the end of this review along with potential future research suggestions in order to improve the design procedures of mHealth services applied in adolescents with cancer, intending to optimize health-related behavior.

Pola pendekatan gerakan insurjens saat ini telah ber “evolusi” dari waktu ke waktu. Hal ini ditandai dengan pola serangan yang dulunya didominasi melalui gerakan konfrontasi militer bersenjata (hard-power) menjadi gerakan dengan pola pendekatan diplomasi untuk memperoleh legitimasi internasional (soft-power). Begitupun yang dilakukan oleh kelompok insurjen Pembebasan Papua Barat ULMPW (United Liberation Movement for West Papua). Mereka mengklaim kekuasaan dan kekuatan mereka saat ini membuat status insurjen yang disematkan kepada mereka ditinjau dalam status hukum internasional telah sampai pada tahap belligerent. Sesuai aturan hukum internasional dengan melekatnya status belligerent terhadap ULMWP membuat mereka berhak untuk menuntut hak dan medapat dukungan internasional untuk mendirikan negara yang bebas (merdeka) yang tidak diatur oleh negara lain. Melalui Metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi untuk memahami fenomena dan realitas yang tampak, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa masalah status belligerent ULMWP sebagai subjek hukum internasional dalam upaya disintegrasi Papua Barat terhadap Indonesia. Teori yang digunakan dalam menganilisis fenomena yang diamati adalah teori tentang hukum internasional dan teori tentang insurgency dan belligerency sebagai subjek hukum internasional. Dari hasil pembahasan disimpulkan bahwa pengakuan status ULMWP sebagai kaum pemberontak belligerent yang hak dan kewajibannya diatur dan dilindungi oleh hukum internasional merupakan hal yang tidak memiliki landasan yang kuat. Berdasarkan hasil analisa yang dilakukan dengan menjadikan Pasal 1 Konvensi Den Haag IV 1907 sebagai acuan karakteristik kelompok pemberontak belligerent menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada satu pun karakteristik atau sifat kaum belligerent yang disebutkan dalam pasal tersebut melekat dalam tubuh organisasi ULMWP yang menjadi sifat, ciri atau karakter organisasi tersebut.
Concert of Asia: How the World Should Deal with the Rise of China

Published: August 2022

As the China rise rapidly and aggressively, the world continues to be vulnerable due to the uncertain geopolitical environment and detrimental great powers gesture. This happens roughly at the global stage but more ominous to the regional politics in Asia Pacific. The region needs to spend more effort to deal with the rising China and somehow also required to alter the US primacy in global politics. To assure regional stability and security, this article proposes the model of the ‘concert of power’ inspired by the Concert of Europe to be carried out in Asia, precisely in Asia Pacific. The Concert of Asia enables more powers, great or mediocre, who are keys to the regional stability to perform checks and balances to one another, not only China itself. There are at least two great powers involve, China and the US. Also, there are few key players in the region that needs to be considered, not so powerful, but still have significant role, namely ASEAN and Japan. With this model, none of great powers could dominate the region and allowing states to secure themselves. Otherwise, great power rivalry is at stake.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: The study of ethno-botanical is important in different sectors like medical and agriculture so the discovery, exploration and documentation of such plants is necessary. This research assessed the phytochemicals present in the selected plants and studied their allelopathic effect on germination, radicle length, and plumule length of bean and radish seeds.

METHODOLOGY: The research was conducted in the Agroecology lab of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS )Paklihawa. Six plants such as Camellia sinensis, Zanthoxylum armatum, Amomum subulatum, Eupatorium glandulosum, Cymbopogan flexuosus, and Rhododendron arboreum were selected and collected from different districts of Nepal. The collected plant parts were dried, powdered, and aqueous extract was used to screen some secondary metabolites. Six treatments @ 10% aqueous concentration of extracts including control were applied in bean and radish seeds in CRD format along with 3 replications to study their allelopathic effect.
KEY FINDINGS: Glycoside was detected in all the extracts, and alkaloid was also detected in all the extracts except in the extract of Rhododendron arboreum. Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins were found highest in Eupatorium glandulosum leaves (5.2%), Camellia sinensis (1.4%), Cymbopogan flexuosus (7.03%), and Camellia sinensis (2.12%) respectively. The reading of germination rate for bean and radish seeds was found lowest in Camellia sinensis extract and Eupatorium glandulosum extracts respectively. Average length of radicle and plumule of both bean and radish seeds was found highest in the extract of Rhododendron arboreum and least in an extract of Eupatorium glandulosum.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion the selected plants possess many secondary metabolites that inhibited the development of the bean and radish seeds to grow vigorously hence upon further research and trial, these plants could be a wonderful source of herbicides to suppress the growth of unwanted weeds in the field.
Ulnar Nerve Deficit Case Series in Pediatric Midshaft Forearm Fractures: Four Cases with Nerve Entrapment in Callus Tissue
Authors: Karahan G , k Levent , ce Ali
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Ulnar nerve palsy is a rare condition in children with closed fractures of the
forearm. In the present study, we aimed to analyze 4 pediatric cases who underwent closed reduction and casting due to forearm mid-shaft fracture and then underwent surgical treatment for neurological deficit due to ulnar nerve entrapment in callus tissue.
Methods: The files of 4 pediatric cases (3 male-1 female) who were diagnosed with forearm double fracture and underwent surgery for ulnar nerve deficit between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: Nerve auto-graft was required in one patient (Case 1) who underwent late exploration, and end-to-end anastomosis was required in one patient (case 2). There was sensory recovery at the 8th week post anastomosis. However the two point discrimination recovery was not full. Partial motor recovery occurred in the 16th week. Pinch and grip strengths and low motor amplitude were still partially defective at 36 weeks.
Conclusion: Albeit rare, ulnar nerve injuries associated with mid-shaft forearm fractures of both the radius and ulna exist and can result in debilitating morbidity if not detected in a timely manner. For this reason, early diagnosis and early surgical exploration are important. Routine neurological examination and USG in case of doubt may be beneficial in early diagnosis.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relative frequency and distribution of different salivary gland lesions on Fine needle aspiration cytology, to study histopathological correlation and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and efficacy of this procedure in diagnosing the lesions.
Materials and Methods: A five year study was performed on salivary gland swellings in a tertiary health care center. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done and smears were stained with Leishman, Hematoxylin and eosin stains. Histopathology was done wherever possible. Cytological and histopathological correlation was done and results were statistically analyzed.
Results: 100 cases were studied. Lesions were categorized into non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. Chronic sialadenitis was the most common non- neoplastic lesion and Pleomorphic Adenoma was the commonest benign lesion. Malignant lesions reported were Adenoid Cystic carcinoma, Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma and three cases were interpreted as positive for malignancy.38 cases were available for histopathology, out of which 34 showed positive correlation. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the present study is 94.74%, 75%, 100%, 100% and 100% respectively.
Conclusion:
Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, cost-effective and safe mode of investigation for the primary categorization of salivary gland lesions into inflammatory, benign and malignant lesions. The high diagnostic accuracy and low false positive and false negative diagnosis suggests that it can be used as a first line diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of patients with various salivary gland lesions. However, histopathological diagnosis still remains the gold standard.

Published: August 2022

Background: Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) for Isoniazid and Rifampicin is a major threat to Antitubercular therapy. At present it is infecting approximately one third of the world population with 500 new cases annually. Hence this prospective study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, M.K.C.G. Medical College Berhampur from November 2012 to October 2014.
Aim: To isolate Mycobacterium species from clinical samples and identify the drug susceptibility pattern for all mycobacterium species.
Methods: All the samples were collected aseptically in the appropriate sterile container and subjected to direct microscopy and culture. Direct microscopy smear was done by Zeihl – Neelsen and Fluorochrome stains. After digestion and decontamination the samples are subjected to appropriate culture medium for their growth and sensitivity to anti tubercular drugs.
Results: In the present study majority of cases were from the age group of 15-30 years (45.19%) with a male predominance and the M:F ratio was 3.3. Out of 208 cases, 19.23% were found to be HIV positive followed by association with Smoking (16.82%), Diabetes Mellitus (7.21%) and COPD (7.21%). Culture positivity was highest in persons having a history of smoking. Sputum was the most common sample received 157(75.5%) followed by pleural fluid. Out of 57 culture positives 9(15.78%) were resistant strains.
Discussion and conclusion: A total of 57 samples from 208 cases yielded Mycobacteria by culture on L-J Media. Culture positivity of sputum samples is considered to be the gold standard as it leads to access to the drug susceptibility of the grown mycobacterial culture. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the major isolate (89.47%) and 6 cultures grew non tuberculous mycobacteria (10.52%) (NTM).

There is a scarcity of data concerning endocrine function and the effects of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on growth and other endocrine functions in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). This study retrospectively evaluated height increase, bone mineral density (BMD), and other endocrine functions in MPS patients who received ERT for at least two years in our clinic. The clinical findings, hormonal analysis (TSH, fT4, ACTH, cortisol, FSH, LH, testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, GH, IGF-1, IGFBP-3), and BMD measurements of 10 MPS patients, aged 0-18 years, before and after ERT were recorded and compared retrospectively. Four patients were MPS Type-2, five were MPS Type-4, and one was MPS Type-6. Nine of the patients were male, and one was female. The mean treatment onset age was 7.6 years. The mean ± standard deviation of the patients' height SDS was -4.61±3.01 before treatment and -5.65±2.42 after treatment. While the mean BMD Z-score of the patients was -2.33±1.77 before treatment, it was -0.94±1.52 after treatment. Apart from growth retardation (one of the most prominent disease features), no severe dysfunction was detected in other endocrine organs in our patients with MPS. Severe short stature was evident at the time of diagnosis in MPS patients, and their height SDS worsened, despite ERT. However, osteoporotic BMD Z-scores at diagnosis improved after ERT. No serious dysfunction was seen in other endocrine organs.
