Poverty Attributions and Emotions Associated With Willingness to Help and Government Aid
Authors: Yúdica Lucas , Bastias Franco , Etchezahar Edgardo
Published: December 2021

This study aims to understand how willingness to help people in poverty and the agreement with providing government aid are connected to emotions and attributional processes, in a country with a high poverty rate such as Argentina. Differences in poverty attributions and emotions
among self-reported social class are also analysed. A total sample of 331 secondary-school students completed self-administered questionnaires. Correlations and regression analyses showed that, whereas emotions such as compassion, empathy and pity seem to motivate helping behaviours, explanations as to the cause of poverty, rather than
emotions, are closely associated with an agreement to providing government aid. However, low levels of anger seem to be required to endorse both helping behaviours and agreement to providing government aid. On the other hand, respondents who self-identify as belonging to upper classes report more anger and use fewer structural explanations to
understand poverty than lower-classes respondents. We propose that future research analyse a greater variety of helping behaviours towards people in poverty and types of government intervention in the global south.
Subjektivna dobrobit i osobine ličnosti
Authors: Pocrnić Martina , Bratko Denis
Published: December 2021

Subjektivna dobrobit često je ispitivan konstrukt u psihološkim istraživanjima, a njegova popularnost sve više raste tijekom posljednjih
tridesetak godina. Definira se kao spoj kognitivne evaluacije života i afektivnih tendencija. Međutim, u literaturi postoje određene nekonzistentnosti i razlike u njezinoj operacionalizaciji koje će se opisati u ovome radu. Nakon upoznavanja s konstruktom ovaj pregledni rad
fokusirat će se na dva osnovna cilja. Za početak, predstavit će se dosadašnja saznanja o izvorima individualnih razlika u subjektivnoj dobrobiti na temelju istraživanja koja su koristila bihevioralno-genetičku metodologiju. Rezultati tih studija upućuju na umjerenu heritabilnost subjektivne dobrobiti koja se kreće u rasponu od 30 do 40 %. Glavni fokus zatim će biti na prikazivanju povezanosti subjektivne dobrobiti s osobinama ličnosti. Prvo će se predstaviti nalazi istraživanja na razini fenotipske povezanosti koji ukazuju na snažnu povezanost subjektivne dobrobiti s neuroticizmom, ekstraverzijom te u nešto manjoj mjeri sa savjesnošću. Te fenotipske korelacije u konačnici će se protumačiti iz bihevioralno-genetičke perspektive, odnosno prikazom nalaza istraživanja koja su se bavila ispitivanjem etiologije koja stoji u podlozi navedenih korelacija. Istraživanja jasno
upućuju na preklapanje genske varijance između subjektivne dobrobiti i osobina ličnosti, a upitnim ostaje postoji li genski efekt subjektivne dobrobiti koji je nezavisan od ličnosti.
Translation and Study of the “Tendon Transformation Classic” (Yi Jin Jing)
Authors: Malyavin Vladimir
Published: December 2021

The article includes the first complete and annotated translation of the “Tendon Transformation Classic”, the fundamental treatise in the tradition of spiritual-somatic practice specific for China. Both by its language and contents, the Yi Jin Jing which connects medicine, spiritual self-cultivation and martial art occupies a unique place in the history of Chinese civilization, hence its interpretation encounters some special difficulties. Until now complete translation and systematic study of this scripture has not appeared in Western literature. The author analyzes the historical and cultural background of this unusual text and various legends related to it. Translation is accompanied by textual notes.
The most salient feature of the “Tendon Transformation Classic” is the idea of the natural and hence innate unity of spiritual and physical dimensions of human individual. Interestingly, the proofs for this thesis were ascribed to the legendary founder of the Chan school in Chinese Buddhism Bodhidharma (in Chinese Damo). The main link between psychic and biological plans of human existence according to the authors of the Yi Jin Jing is fascia (mo). A special attention is paid to the meaning of this original concept in Chinese medicine and somatic psychology as well as its relation to the idea of nurturing “life energy” (qi) and organic unity of “inner” and “outer” strength etc. The article reveals this scripture’s importance for the evolution of the bio-spiritual practice in China and contradictions inherent in it.
Hot political autumn in Japan
Authors: Streltsov Aleksey
Published: December 2021

The autumn of 2021 turned out to be hot for Japan’s political sphere. Elections to the House of Representatives were to be held and the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party was to be elected. The situation was complicated by a bad situation with the pandemic, accompanied by a drop in the ratings of the ruling party, as well as the low popularity of the head of the Cabinet, Y. Suga, which has reached critically low levels. To rectify the situation, the LDP had to take extraordinary measures — elect a new leader of Japan, change the party leadership, form a new cabinet of ministers and hold early elections to the lower house on October 31 with new political ideas and new faces in the party leadership.
In this paper the author tried to characterize the main milestones of this tense political season in Japan, to assess the steps taken by the ruling party and to summarize the elections, which marked the beginning of a new stage of Japan's political development.
The author comes to the conclusion that the reason for the relatively successful performance of the ruling party in the elections was the increased media attention to the election of the LDP president, which allowed it to intercept the agenda from the opposition and win over a significant percentage of swing votes. The election manifests put forward by the new LDP leader’s found support among many voters, which was also helpful for the LDP success. In addition, the traditional tactics of the opposition based on the criticism of the misses of the ruling party were practically ineffective in the elections, while a positive program was not presented at all.
Governmental Forums with International Participation as a Foreign Policy Tool: the Experience of Russia and the North-East Asia Countries
Authors: Yang Linlin
Published: December 2021

The article examines the phenomenon of a government forum with international participation. Using the example of the Asian Economic Forum in Boao, the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok and the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, we analyzed the foreign policy meaning of such forums, identified their general and specific features, and defined this phenomenon. The East Asian case seems especially representative in the study of government forums, since the lack of trust and numerous historical, ideological, military, economic and other tensions make it difficult to create a regional intergovernmental organization similar to the European Union. The methodology of our research is «generalist realism», which considers the growth of supranational organizations in the 21st century quite logical. It is due to the desire of countries to facilitate cooperation, although it is carried out in the interests of any great power. It is concluded that the growing interest of national governments in this format of diplomacy is due to three factors. First, the host country expects to have a decisive influence on the formation of the agenda, the course of discussions, the preparation of possible political agreements, that is to create a new international institution under its control. Secondly, the host country seeks to expand economic cooperation and attract foreign investment, because most of these forums are called economic. It is extremely difficult to trace the correlation between investments and forums, but it seems incorrect to completely deny it, because forums with the participation of senior political figures and major businessmen increase the recognition of the host location. Thirdly, the host country is trying to improve its international image through forums, which directly depends on the political and economic status of the participants and the significance of the problems on the forum's agenda.

The lost glamur of pharmacy in Debeljača
Authors: Dželajlija Darko D.
Published: December 2021

In the general trend of nationalization after 1945, many pharmacies in our area were destroyed, relocated or repurposed. During these events, their interiors changed, and the inventory was damaged or destroyed. The aim of this paper is to research the historiography of pharmacy by reconstructing the chronology of the Joanović pharmacy as well as the Public Pharmacy of the town of Debeljača until it moved out of the building where the pharmacy was founded. Descriptive research covers the periods before the First World War, between the two World Wars and after the Second World War. The data presented in this paper are the result of interdisciplinary research related to the study of the historiography of the Joanović pharmacy as well as the Public Pharmacy of the town of Debeljača. This paper is based on unpublished documents (database of the pharmacy Joanović and the Publik Pharmacy of the town of Debeljača), as well as on the statements and written statements of Mrs. Mile Đorđević born Joanović and pharmacist Ivan Šimić as documents from the author’s personal archive. Methods of documentation analysis and desk analysis of secondary data were used. In the Joanović Pharmacy, almost semi-industrial production of cosmetic and perfumery products was developed, as well as the production of flavors for the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. After the forced purchase, a biochemical laboratory was formed in the newly established National Pharmacy, which provided a large number of various laboratory services. The results of this study could be used in further study of the historiography of pharmacy research of the goods that pharmacies offered to consumers.

Published: December 2021

From the mid-18th century to the mid-20th century, Greek doctors in Smyrna collaborated with pharmacists, churches, and the city’s Greek Orthodox community to create a state of-the-art health network and charitable foundation to serve physical and mental health needs of the local community. At Graekikon Nosokomion o Agios Haralampos (Greek Saint Charalampos Hospital), or the Greek Hospital, every citizen, regardless of origin, language, religion, or economic status, had access to the most appropriate medical and pharmaceutical care. Neighborhood pharmacists complemented this care by administering vaccinations and preparing medicines. Smyrna’s pivotal influence on the Greek medical community ended in August 1922, when the Greek Hospital was destroyed during the Catastrophe of Smyrna.
Analysis theorico-practica de viribus virus febriferi, pestiferi, atque serpentin
Authors: Delibegović Samir , Matošević Alan
Published: December 2021

This review describes the first medical article written by an author from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The article was published by Fr. Franjo Gracić (1740-1799), in Latin, under the title: “Analysis theorico-practica de viribus virus febriferi, pestiferi, atque serpentin”, and printed in Padua in 1795, translated as: “A Theoretical and Practical Presentation of the Effects of Fevers, Infectious Diseases, and Snake Poison”. From today’s standpoint, it may be said that it was a review article about some of the most frequent diseases of that time. The paper is of exceptional importance for the history of medicine in Bosnia and Herzegovina because it is the first documented medical article whose author was from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper contains observations of the course of diseases and treatment, in line with the medical insights of the time. The author refers to the authorities of that time, such as Samuel Auguste André Tissot, the Swiss physicist and doctor, Georg Bauer, the German doctor, and Lodovico Antonio Muratori, the Italian scholar, which makes this article a link between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the knowledge of the Europe of that time. This paper represents the beginning of medical writing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and has a very important place in the history of medicine in this country.
Effect of combining sleep-promoting food intake and electric field application on sleep in healthy participants: A pilot study
Authors: Nedachi Takaki , Haketa Kaoru , Harakawa Shinji , Miura Naoki , Wakame Koji
Published: December 2021

Background: Functional foods and electric fields (EFs) have been previously reported as interventions for insomnia other than medications. As for functional foods, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and lafma have been reported to be related to sleep. EFs have also been reported to have a sleep-related, anti-stress effect in mouse model experiments. However, the effects of combining these two methods on the human body remain poorly studied. Objective: Thus, this study aimed to investigate the cointervention effect of sleep-promoting functional food intake and EF application on sleep quality in healthy participants. Methods: Fifteen healthy participants were divided into three groups. The Food and Placebo groups were given active tablets containing food mixture of GABA and lafma, and placebo tablets, respectively, for 4 weeks. Meanwhile, the Food plus EF group used an EF therapy device during sleep in addition to the active food tablets. Sleep quality was evaluated using electroencephalography and sleep questionnaires.Results: Sleep efficiency (SE) was significantly higher in the Food group and the Food plus EF group than the Placebo group at 4 weeks. The Food plus EF group also had a significantly higher SE involving sleep latency. Conclusions: Food mixture containing known sleep-promoting ingredients such as GABA and lafma can improve sleep quality, and the improvement effect can be enhanced when administered in combination with an EF.Keywords: electric field therapy, Kumasasa (Sasa senanensis), electric fields, sleep quality, electroencephalographyClinical trial registration: Approval No.: R1812; Approval date: 21 Feb. 2019
SOCIOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS ON IDENTITY AND SOCIAL IDENTIFICATION: THE INDIVIDUAL IN AMBIGUOUS MODERNITY
Authors: Karnat Anna
Published: December 2021

The paper examines the diverse ways of self-definition of individuals in a changing reality, which is attributed to a hybrid and ambiguous character. The emphasis is on identity discourse in the individual dimension. While questioning the possibility of clearly defining the Self in the world of diverse relations and ambiguous social reality, a dilemma arises: one identity or many identities? It should be pointed out here that there is a transition from identity as a complex and dynamic attribute (aspect) of the individual to the multiplicity of individual identities as a variety of its identifications with the objects of the social world. More radically, doubts can be raised here about the usefulness of the category of identity. Behind such thinking are not merely methodological difficulties in recognizing the different dimensions and contexts in which the individual defines his or her identity or identities. It is certainly possible to speak here of a different meaning attributed to the category of identity, especially in its theoretical-cognitive sense. The consequence of this is also the different meaning that is attributed to the utility of this category, i.e. its instrumental use for the self-determination of individuals. The stronger the adherence to the terminology of modernity, the stronger the indication of a possible and fully conscious (reflexive) project that identity may become for the constructively acting individual. Departure from modern nomenclature complicates the issues of defining identity itself, and thus also does not make the task easier in the sphere of social practice and does not provide easy utilitarian solutions. Moreover, the difficulties concern not only what individual identity is (or could be) in the functional sense, but also its very structure and the fundamental question of its durability (or at least relative stability) in the context of individualization.

The study is devoted to the consideration of the most important prospects and key alternatives for the development of the chemical industry related to different areas of innovation. Conclusions will be made on key technologies and products that can change the position of the chemical industry in the global market."
OCEANIA IN THE TRAVEL REPORTAGE (TRAVEL WRITING) OF BRITISH WOMEN PIONEERS OF TOURISM IN THE 19TH CENTURY
Authors: Łukowska Maria Antonina
Published: December 2021

The phenomenon of British women travelers - the forerunners of modern tourism - deserves attention because of the motives of their travels, the directions of their journeys and the permanent mark they left behind, creating the genre of women's travel reportage - women's travel writing. What prompted British women to travel more often than other women? Barbara Hodgson answers this self-asked question as follows. The inhabitants of the United Kingdom of both sexes were eager wanderers and colonizers. Women travelers have left behind descriptions of their journeys in the form of travel reports, which are a source of geographical knowledge about Oceania, among other places and touristic conditions. They are also a testimony to the mentality of 19th century British women. The author uses the historical method and critical reading of this texts of culture.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to isolate species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants that are promising for the tasks of accelerating the sequestration of atmospheric carbon, resistant to local soil and climatic conditions and having high productivity from the collection fund of the botanical garden of the Ural Federal University. Methods. The article presents data on the productivity of four types of herbaceous plants: Amaranthus caudatus L., Amaranthus cruentus L., Polygonum weyrichii F. Schmidt and Echinops sphaerocephalus L., grown in the botanical garden. All the research objects were grown under the same conditions. Productivity was measured at the beginning of September. The data were processed using standard statistical methods. Results. It was revealed that the plants P. weyrichii is the most productive in terms of both fresh and dry yield. The yield of the P. weyrichii increases in years with sufficiently high moisture content. Aridity and high summer temperatures have a negative impact on the growth of the P. weyrichii. Amaranths gain a large aboveground mass due to their belonging to the group with the C4 type of photosynthesis. High summer temperatures have a positive effect on the growth and development of amaranths, while correlations with the amount of precipitation are statistically insignificant. The plants E. sphaerocephalus showed average values for productivity and requires further study. It is recommended to grow the plants P. weyrichii in a sufficiently humid area. Amaranth, being a drought-resistant plant, is highly productive in any years, especially in years with the value of the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) less than 1.0. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the features of the cultivation of the studied crops are considered not only for forage purposes but also from the point of view of atmospheric carbon deposition and cultivation on potential carbon farms in the changing climate of the region.

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women in India and constitute one–third of women’s cancers and is second reason of mortality after lung carcinoma.[1]
It is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in most cities in India, and 2nd most common cancer in females in the rural areas. As the disease burden and mortality rate is very high, evaluation of several parameters that influence survival rates among women with breast cancer may help design early detection, predict the prognosis and frame a suitable line of treatment.[2] The link between inflammation and cancer was first suggested in 1863.[3] Chronic inflammation is known to increase the risk of cancer development, such as colon cancer in inflammatory bowel diseases.[4]
There is good evidence that the development of cancer and its progression are dependent on a complex interaction of the tumour and the host inflammatory response.[5]
Aim: This study aims to correlate the relation of inflammatory cell infilteration with tumour staging, nodal status, ER, PR, HER-2 NEU status of breast cancer.
Material and Method: The proposed study was a cross sectional study with mostly prospective observation and with some retrospective observation, included 74 patients of stage II and stage III breast carcinoma who underwent MRM in Cancer Institute from 2017-2018. The various clinical and histopathological prognostic parameters along with inflammatory cell infilterate score in invasive breast carcinoma patients were studied and correlated. The inflammatory cell infilterates was assessed according to Klintrup-Makinen (K-M) criteria. It is scored on 4 point scale where score 0 defined no increase in inflammatory cell infilterate, score 1 defined as mild or patchy increase ,score 2 denoted as prominent inflammatory response with some cancer cell destruction and score 3 as florid cup like response. Further it is classified as low group score (score 0-1)and high group score (score 2-3) .[6]
Result: There was significant association between inflammatory cell infiltrate score and grade of tumor (p=0.0005) (TABLE 1) .58.1% ,54.1% and 37.8% of the cases were ER, PR and Her-2/neu positive respectively. ER negative tumors (74.19%) were showing statistically significant (p= 0.01) association with high inflammatory cell infilterate score (ie. Score 2 and 3). Similarly PR negative tumors (64.7%) were showing statistically significant association (p= 0.04) with high inflammatory cell infilterate score. No such correlation was found between between HER-2 /NEU status and nodal involvement with inflammatory cell infilterate score (TABLE 3).

Objective: Abdominal wall closure of an emergency laparotomy involves a great deal of consideration. An ideal laparotomy wound closure should be efficient. provide strength and serve as a barrier to infection. The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate the advantages of layered closure in comparison with the mass layered closure, the types of suture materials used in the closure, absorbable/nonabsorbable and its correlation with post operative complications such as wound sepsis, burst abdomen and incisional hernia.
Methods: This prospective study was carried out over a period of 18 months enrolling a total of 90 patients split into two groups with group 1 undergoing mass closure using both interrupted and continuous methods and group 2 undergoing layered closure using both interrupted and continuous methods of suturing.
Results: A higher rate of wound complications was noted in the layered closure group (37.7%) than the mass closure group (17%). Wound complications were also noted to be higher in closures done with prolene suture (37.7%) than PDS (20%). As far as techniques were concerned, interrupted and continuous suturing had a similar rate of complications. Of all the comorbidities, considered in the study, the highest rate of wound related complications were seen in patients with pulmonary complications (13.3%).
Conclusion: Although the ideal way to close an abdomen post laparotomy has not yet been discovered, our study shows that mass closure with PDS suture to close the abdominal wall should be advocated as there is decreased early and late post operative wound complications
Keywords: PDS.

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is considered to be a rare, yet serious complication of coronavirus disease 2019, where there is immune dysregulation related to past infection with the virus. It is an inflammatory syndrome affecting multiple systems with varied manifestations including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, renal, hepatobiliary, and dermatological symptoms. Aim: Current study aimed to investigate the clinical and laboratory profile of MIS-C. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 40 hospitalized children who were diagnosed as MIS-C and studied over a 12-month period from June 2020 to May 2021 at Cheluvamba Hospital in a tertiary care center attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute Mysuru, Karnataka. Results: Out of the 40 children studied, all fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of MIS-C. The most common symptom was fever (100%), followed by gastrointestinal symptoms (90%). The next most common system involved in our study was cardiovascular system (52.5%). The most common laboratory findings included elevated inflammatory markers (100%). Furthermore, there was high incidence of hematological alterations, in the form of anemia (62.5%), thrombocytopenia (57.5%), and neutrophilia (27.5%). About 33.3% cases had echocardiography abnormalities. All patients received intravenous methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. There were six deaths (15%) in our study and the remaining cases had good immediate outcome. Conclusion: Early recognition and prompt medical attention are necessary for a favorable outcome in MIS-C. However, there is scarcity of data regarding its long-term outcome.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was declared as a pandemic in March 2020. The virus has affected more adults than children, with disease severity being lesser in children. We present a case of a neonate who tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 infection on day of life 3, 6, and 15. The baby had fever, respiratory distress, and shock. Laboratory investigations showed raised inflammatory markers, raised D dimer suggesting coagulopathy, coronary dilatation on 2D echocardiogram, and raised N terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide. The neonate was successfully treated with good supportive care, lung-protective ventilatory strategies, early intravenous immunoglobulin administration, corticosteroids, and remdesivir.
