THE CONTRIBUTION OF GABRIEL MILLET TO THE RESEARCH OF KING MILUTIN’S ENDOWMENTS
Authors: Preradović Dubravka
Published: November 2023

Gabriel Millet was one of the first university-educated researchers that studied Serbian medieval monuments in the early 20th century. Thanks to this French Byzantinist, those monuments were included in broader overviews of Christian art early on. Millet’s work primarily set solid academic foundations for the research of Serbian medieval architecture. The endowments of King Milutin, above all Staro Nagoričino and Gračanica, had a prominent place in those studies both in terms of their painted program and architecture. This paper aims to present and valorize Gabriel Millet’s contribution to their research and to draw attention to Millet’s significant body of photo documentation and field notes, which still remain largely uninvestigated.
CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY IN ICONOGRAPHIC PROGRAMS OF THE EARLY PALEOLOGAN PERIOD
Authors: Fousteris Georgios
Published: November 2023

The design of the iconographic program was not a typically repeated process for the decoration of a church, but it was a challenge for Byzantine painters, mason masters, and donors. Although the thematic content of the basic cycles was predetermined, alternative arrangements in the architectural space attempted to highlight specific theological con- cepts. Thus, the pictorial narrative, without losing its historical character, acquired an additional doctrinal dimension. In this article we select examples of original solutions in frescoed churches of the 14th century that reflect the spiritual environment and theological concerns of the late Byzantine era.

Le Coran en contexte(s) omeyyade(s) : introduction
Authors: BOISLIVEAU Anne-Sylvie , BOUDIER Mathilde , VALLET Eric
Published: November 2023

Résumé :

Le contexte historique de la genèse du Coran constitue une question centrale dans les recherches islamologiques sur le texte fondateur de l’islam, d’autant plus vive qu’il n’existe pas de consensus sur une reconstruction scientifique de ce contexte. Placer le Coran « en contexte(s) » apparaît donc comme un terrain propice au dialogue entre islamologie et histoire. Cette introduction revient d’abord sur les enjeux propres à l’histoire première du Coran, c’est-à-dire à sa composition et à sa canonisation, avant d’évoquer comment ces enjeux s’articulent au contexte omeyyade. L’idée initiale d’un colloque organisé en juin 2021, qui consistait à appréhender l’histoire du Coran dans le contexte de la Syrie-Palestine à l’époque omeyyade (661-750), a finalement ouvert à la possibilité d’un regard multi-situé sur les développements omeyyades autour du Coran, à travers la confrontation des sources dans leur diversité et l’élargissement à un horizon impérial.

Abstract:

Title: The Qurʾān in Umayyad Context(s): Introduction

The historical context of the genesis of the Qurʾān is a central issue within the field of Islamic Studies dealing with the founding text of Islam – even more so that no consensus on an academic reconstruction of this context has been reached. To set the Qurʾān « within its context(s) » appear therefore as an adequate ground for dialogue between History and the study of the religion of Islam. This introduction first describes what is at stake within the early history of the Qurʾān, i.e. its composition and canonisation, and then evokes how these issues relate to the Umayyad context. The initial idea of the conference that took place in June 2021, which was to address this topic within the limited framework of Syria-Palestine during the Umayyad period (661-750), eventually led to the possibility of a multi-situated view on the Umayyad developments regarding the Qurʾān, through confronting the sources in their diversity, in a wider, imperial horizon.
Quelques leçons à tirer de l’historiographie de la fiscalité grecque archaïque
Authors: ZURBACH Julien
Published: November 2023

Résumé L’histoire de la formation des États européens nous a habitués à envisager la fiscalité comme l’instrument nécessaire du développement de l’appareil d’État, dans ses dimensions militaire puis administrative et idéologique. Les cités grecques s’inscrivent-elles dans ce schéma ? Une reconstruction classique raconte le passage de communautés d’égaux se partageant les profits, comme à Siphnos vers 500 et à Athènes avant Thémistocle, à des cités devenues puissances militaires, et surtout maritimes, ce qui suppose la mobilisation de ressources considérables. L’ouvrage de van Wees en 2013 (Ships and Silver, Taxes and Tribute, Londres) a souligné le rôle moteur de la guerre sur mer. Une relecture des étapes essentielles de l’historiographie amène aussi à envisager l’hypothèse que tout dans la fiscalité ne relève pas forcément de la cité et que ses subdivisions ont pu jouer un rôle. En définitive, c’est la question de la pertinence du rôle central attribué à la cité dans le développement de la fiscalité qui doit être posée. Abstract Title: A Few Things to be Learned from the Historiography of Ancient Greek Taxation The history of the formation of European states has accustomed us to consider taxation as the necessary instrument for the development of the state apparatus, in its military, administrative and ideological dimensions. Do the Greek city-states fit into this pattern? A usual reconstruction tells of the passage from communities of equals sharing profits, as in Siphnos around 500 and in Athens before Themistocles, to city-states that became military and especially maritime powers, which implies the mobilisation of considerable resources. The 2013 book by van Wees (Ships and Silver, Taxes and Tribute, London) underlines the driving role of war at sea. A new reading of the essential stages of the historiography also leads to the hypothesis that not everything in taxation is the direct responsibility of the city and that its subdivisions may have played a role. In the end, it is the question of the central role attributed to the city in the development of taxation that must be asked.

Influence of forest fire smoke on the decline of biodiversity and the state of living organisms (literary review)
Authors: Andreeva Elizaveta S. , Vokina Vera A.
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The relevance of this work is due to the growing environmental problem associated with large-scale forest fires and insufficient knowledge of the survival, adaptation and reproduction of animals after prolonged exposure to harmful smoke components.
The aim of the review is to collect and analyze information on environmental pollution due to smoke from forest fires and their impact on animals in the smoke zone.
Material and methods. The material for the analysis was the literature sources published for the period up to 2022, in publications indexed in the Scopus, Web of Science, Publons, Springer, PubMed databases, including domestic and foreign research scientists on this topic.
Results. When forest fires occur, a mixture of gaseous compounds is released into the environment, containing ultrafine solid particles, carbon monoxide, ozone, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen and sulfur dioxide, aldehydes, chlorinated dioxins, free radicals and many other compounds. At the same time, significant damage is caused to a wide biodiversity of the animal world, which is an extremely important indicator link in almost any biocenosis.
Conclusions. The increase in large-scale smoke is increasingly leading to the risk of extinction of wildlife exposed to high concentrations of toxic components of smoke. It is necessary to constantly maintain and restore the biotic potential of populations of endangered species in forest ecosystems, as well as a deeper study of the mechanisms of the occurrence of consequences that are dangerous for the animal organism when exposed to forest fire smoke.

Authors: Shuja Uddin  , Ejaz Ahmad  , Husnain Khalid  , Hafiz M. Umar  , Ahmed Umair Asad Khan  , Mian M. Haneef
Published: November 2023

Introduction: The most severe and least common side effects of shoulder dislocations are brachial plexus injury. Patients generally approach with a shoulder in abduction and external rotation, a behavior that orthopedic surgeons are accustomed to seeing in patients with an anterior type of shoulder dislocation. There are different viewpoints on whether surgery should be attempted to treat these old injuries with BPI and, if so, at what time.

Material and Method: We had a 25-year male old patient who was admitted through an outdoor clinic with a ‘neglected locked anterior dislocation’ that had been unrecognized for the last two months. After consent and fitness, he was managed with an open reduction as well as the Latarjet technique, followed by neurotization for BPI upper trunk after four months had passed with no improvement.

Result: The patient achieved 90 degrees of abduction and forward flexion in the 4th month of follow-up neurotization with a stable shoulder joint.

Conclusion: We advocate that old stuck shoulder dislocations along with BPI be reduced right after using an open method, stabilized by using the Laterjet intervention if still unstable, and surgically handle the wounded nerves after four months of no sign of regeneration.

Rare benign tumors called subungual glomus tumors that develop from the glomus body can cause sharp discomfort under the nail. This case involves a 38-year-old female patient who has been complaining of severe pain above her left thumbnail for 13 years. Under general anesthesia, a transungular technique was used to remove the tumor mass, and histology revealed a subungual glomus tumor. To lessen the damage and deformity to the nail bed, the tumor mass must be completely removed. To get the right diagnosis, it's crucial to consider specific clinical traits such as intense pain, regional soreness, and cold sensitivity. The diagnosis can be verified, and the tumor mass can be located with the use of a physical examination and imageology.

Authors: Ali Rashid , Sabeel Sardar , Zahoor Danial , Arif Bushra , Adnan Khan  , Saqib Malik
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 8 to 16% of population worldwide. With increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus and an aging population, CKD is putting an enormous burden on health care resources.
The prevalence of CKD in Pakistan has been estimated to vary between 5%-12.5%. Depression can be found in 25% to 42% of hemodialysis patients. There are no previous studies done in Pakistan to know the mental health impact in End- stage renal disease (ESRD)patients undergoing dialysis.
Aims &Objectives: To assess the mental health impact on patients of ESRD on renal replacement therapy using Beck and Deck inventory in our population.
Place and duration of study: Department of Medicine, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad from February 2019 to July 2019.
Material & Methods: 97 patients were enrolled using non-probability, consecutive sampling. Patients having CKD and on dialysis for 3 months from both genders from ages 15 to 60 years were included in the study. Patients were assessed using DSM-IV/BDI criteria for presence of depression. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20
Results: Of the 97 patients included in the study 57 (58.8%) were male and 40 (41.2%) were females. The mean age of patients was 45.00 ±14.82 years. The mean length of time since the patients were on dialysis was 20.47 ±22.81 months. Hypertension was the commonest cause of CKD (75.3%). The mean BDI score was 15.25 ±7.46. The number of patients who had no or minimal depression was 40 (41.2%). The number of patients having mild, moderate and severe depression was 57 (58.8%) patients. Single patients were more likely to be normal (77.8%) compared to married individuals (37.5%). Of the patients who were on dialysis for more than 48 months, 75% were normal with no element of depression. Of the patients who were on dialysis for less than a year, 59.6% had depression. This was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Depression is more prevalent in ESRD patients on hemodialysis. It is more prevalent than found in other major illnesses and in the general population. It should be recognized earlier so that these patients can be treated, and they can have a better quality of life.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Globally, acute generalized peritonitis ranks among the top surgical emergencies. Different studies have been conducted to show the amplitude of peritonitis worldwide eliciting a huge impact on overall patient morbidity and mortality. Largely peritonitis is caused by a gastrointestinal perforation or anastomotic leak. In peritonitis, anaerobes & gram-negative organisms are mostly responsible for sepsis and morbidity due to the overactive inflammatory cascade by endotoxins which is amenable to timely intervention.
Aims & Objectives: The study's aim was to evaluate whether using normal saline or metronidazole solution during intraoperative peritoneal lavage (IOPL), results in a lower rate of postoperative wound infection.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was undertaken at the South Surgical Ward, Mayo Hospital Lahore for 6 months from February 2nd, 2021, to August 1st, 2021.
Material & Methods: Consecutive sampling strategy followed by a randomized controlled trial were used to induct and provide intervention to 90 patients aged 15-65 years with peritonitis caused by hollow viscus perforation. The patients were subdivided into 2 groups A& B(n=45 each).Two liters of normal saline were used for peritoneal lavage in group A, while two liters of normal saline were combined with 200 mL of metronidazole solution and administered to group B. intraoperatively.Baseline physiological parameters such as age, sex, BMI , intra operative surgical parameters as duration of operation and post-operative course were recorded till discharge. On 10th POD, patients returned to OPD for further monitoring. An infection was diagnosed if the patient had post-operative symptoms such as a high temperature, increased TLC, wound discharge, redness, or pain. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 23.
Results: A majority (54.44%) of the patients were young adults. Mean age of 37.33 ± 10.53 years of patients in the metronidazole group was comparable to mean age 40.04 ± 11.96 years in the saline group, difference was not significant (p=0.067). Male/female ratio in Metronidazole and Saline groups were 17/25 and 10/18, respectively. Patients who received intraperitoneal lavage with normal saline were more likely to develop wound infections (17/45) (37.78%), while only 3/45) (6.67% of those who received metronidazole solution did so (p 0.0001).
Conclusion: Based on the results of this experiment, using metronidazole solution for intraoperative peritoneal lavage instead of normal saline reduces the occurrence of postoperative wound infection.

Spiritual and moral values as the basis for self-realization of the potential of the individual in Russia
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Kazantseva Dina
Published: November 2023

Life in a new modern transforming society requires greater personal freedom to manifest not only the individuality of a person, but also all of his inner, often base qualities. This conflicts with the previously habitual community mechanisms of joint decision-making, collective benefit, traditions, stereotypes and rules, with the upbringing adopted in Russian general education institutions. The desire to preserve old values while striving to live according to the norms of the new world, which promote only physiological needs, does not find a consensus, creating deep intrapersonal conflicts, which result in an irreparable deep deformation of the personality’s character. In this regard, it became expedient to study these changes in young people in order to identify the direct evolution of fundamental spiritual and moral values. The studies were conducted in three stages, in 2007, 2009 and 2020 with subjects aged 15–29 years. The dynamics of this process is shown on the example of the Penza region. The result was an analysis of the change in spiritual priorities in the dynamics of personality development, tendencies to increase the value of certain values that affect the general spiritual and moral state of young people in the first quarter of the 21st century.

The article analyzes the ethno-linguistic aspects of social policy in the context of the formation of Kazakhstani identity, their relationship with socio-political stability, political modernization. Practice has shown that reliance on ethno-national identity leads to an aggravation of inter-ethnic relations, which results in an increase in tension and an increase in emigration, which peaked in 1994. Expectations of a socio-economic nature (the dynamics of economic growth, and, as a result, expectations of an improvement in the financial situation, an increase in the social and property status), and, on the contrary, pessimistic expectations are variable, and the ethnic and linguistic characteristics of society are stable and constant. Social policy is aimed at solving current, medium-term and long-term economic, social problems, fulfilling strategic tasks, but the fruitfulness of social policy is determined by whether the goal of a strategic nature is set - the integration of social groups into a single community. The relationship between the state and society, social policy should take into account the ethnic and linguistic characteristics of society for such integration and the formation of a supra-ethnic, civic identity.

The sample size of the study, calculated according to WHO sample size calculator, was 30 patients after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of these patients were analyzed during their first post-operative week while staying in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). The Doppler waveform and maximum velocity of RHV were recorded during normal gentle breathing, following breath-hold after deep inspiration and then after quiet expiration. The waveforms that were recorded were triphasic, biphasic, or monophasic in the pattern. To assess the RHV flow quantitatively, the Damping Index was also calculated during all these three respiratory maneuvers as follows (DI=Minimum velocity/maximum velocity)
RESULTS: The maximum velocities during normal respiration, after quiet expiration and after breath-holding following deep inspiration were 125 cm/sec, 105 cm/sec and 94 cm/sec. The waveforms observed during gentle breathing were triphasic in 77%, biphasic in 10%, and monophasic in 13% of the patients. After quiet expiration, these were triphasic in 80%, biphasic in 6%, and monophasic in 13% of patients. However, after breath-hold following deep inspiration, the waveforms observed were triphasic in 42%, biphasic in 13%, and monophasic in 45% of the patients. (P <0.008)
CONCLUSION: The study showed that not only did the RHV waveforms show significant change from triphasic pattern to monophasic pattern, but also the peak velocities were lower following expiration. Therefore, during the Doppler ultrasound assessment of post-LDLT recipient patients, respiratory variations must be taken into consideration.
Feminismo, Interseccionalidade e Decolonialidade no Diálogo Entre Quarto de Despejo e Cartas a Uma Negra
Authors: César Waldimiro Maximino Tavares , Alves Elis Regina Fernandes , Reis Gabriela Gomes
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo objetiva analisar o diálogo entre a autora brasileira Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914- 1977) e a martinicana Françoise Ega (1920-1976), buscando compreender, por meio do viés feminista decolonial, os processos interseccionais de exclusão e silenciamento sofridos por elas. A partir da publicação de Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada, a autora negra, favelada e catadora de papel Carolina Maria de Jesus causou enorme impacto, em sua época, sendo traduzido para catorze idiomas. Uma dessas traduções, mais precisamente um pequeno resumo de Quarto de Despejo traduzido para o Francês, chega às mãos de Françoise Ega, uma antilhana que foi para a França durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nessa leitura, Ega não somente encontra identificação projetiva nas palavras de Carolina, como vislumbra também o cotidiano de muitas de suas companheiras imigrantes caribenhas, originando-se, daí, o livro Cartas a Uma Negra. Os resultados obtidos deste estudo apontaram para a necessidade de analisar obras de autoras afro-americanas não só pelo aspecto interseccional, mas também sob a ótica da decolonialidade, devido às singularidades de suas histórias de vida e escrita. Como aporte teórico, foram utilizadas obras, no âmbito da crítica literária feminista, de Akotirene (2019), Crenshaw (1989), Collins e Bilge (2020), Davis (2016), entre outras.

Introduction

We investigated the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of glaucoma.

Material and methods

The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was measured to assess trends in the age-standardized DALY rate from 1990 to 2019.

Results

The global age-standardized DALY rate of glaucoma decreased with an EAPC of –1.00. The age-standardized DALY rate decreased least in high-SDI regions. Eastern sub-Saharan Africa had highest age-standardized DALY rate in 2019. At the national level, Mali had the highest age-standardized DALY rate in 2019.

Conclusions

Although the global burden of glaucoma has decreased, the burden remain high in regions with low SDI values and in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: Extrusion technology, used in producing a variety of food products, including ready-to-eat snacks, has become a popular and reputable industrial method. Snacks have been occupying an important part of the diet for the world's population. However, the effects of extrusion on nutritional and non-nutritional properties in the production of snacks using traditional grains incorporated with legumes are not fully understood. Objective: To determine the effects of extrusion on nutritional and non-nutritional qualities of multigrain puffs from white sorghum, pearl millet and NUA45 beans. Methods: White sorghum, pearl millet and NUA45 beans were blended in the ratios 50:30:20, 50:20:30 and 50:10:40% to select the best composite for snack production. Selected nutritional and non-nutritional quality parameters were compared before and after extrusion. Results: The extrusion process caused a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the content of fat (2.22 to 2.61%, 1.73 to 2.40 and 2.75 to 3.29% for the blends 1, 2 and 3 (50:30:20, 50:20:30 and 50:10:40% respectively), while causing a decrease in protein content, 14.44 to 13.34%, 16.63 to 13.34% and 20.56 to 16.41% in the multigrain puffs. Extrusion also increased iron, zinc and sodium content significantly (p < 0.05) while decreasing calcium. Magnesium and phosphorus had no change. Furthermore, extrusion improved the multigrain puffs' nutritional value and antioxidant activity. The extrusion process caused a significant decrease in tannins (6.82 to 6.01%, 7.82 to 2.17% and 5.74 to1.17%) and phytates contents (2.82 to 2.43%, 3.01 to 1.55% and from 2.92 to 0.37%) of the resultant multigrain puffs from blends 1,2 and 3 respectively. Total phenolic content increased (18.56 to 172.22, 24.38 to 144.61, and 65.87 to 180.44 mg GAE/100g). Conclusion: Extrusion enhances selected nutrients while decreasing anti-nutrients. Based on the composite feeds of white sorghum, pearl millet and NUA45 beans analyzed, the composite blend in the ratio 50:10:40% can be used to develop an acceptable novel healthy extruded traditional grain-based snack.

AbstractMerdeka Belajar is a program that has been launched by the Ministry of Education and Culture since 2019. Teachers as part of the learning system are expected to always be ready for changes in the educational order, including being the independent learning mover (penggerak merdeka belajar). This study aimed to determine the readiness of Indonesian language teachers at the Vocational High School (SMK) level in implementing the Guru Merdeka Belajar program. The discussion review consisted of three domains of the learning process, namely: planning; implementation; and evaluation of learning. Research informants were Indonesian language teachers at the SMK level, both public and private, in the Batu City area, East Java, totaling 10 people who were selected by snowball purposive sampling. Data was collected via Google Form with open-ended questions and interviews via WhatsApp. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model with the stages of data reductions, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: 1) teachers are ready to implement independent learning programs in the aspect of presenting material independently, involving students in apperception, becoming facilitators during learning, encouraging students to seek various learning resources, and being willing to receive feedback; 2) teachers are not ready in the aspect of designing objectives, methods, media, assessment tools, assessments, and follow-up feedback. AbstrakMerdeka belajar merupakan program yang dicanangkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan sejak tahun 2019. Guru sebagai bagian dari sistem pembelajaran diharapkan selalu siap dengan perubahan tatanan pendidikan, termasuk menjadi penggerak merdeka belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesiapan guru Bahasa Indonesia jenjang SMK dalam melaksanakan program Guru Merdeka Belajar. Tinjauan pembahasan terdiri dari tiga ranah proses pembelajaran yakni: perencanaan; pelaksanaan; dan evaluasi pembelajaran. Informan penelitian adalah guru Bahasa Indonesia jenjang SMK baik negeri maupun swasta di wilayah Kota Batu, Jawa Timur berjumlah 10 orang yang dipilih secara snowball purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui Google Form dengan pertanyaan terbuka dan wawancara melalui WhatsApp. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles and Huberman dengan tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) guru siap melaksanakan program merdeka belajar dalam aspek penyajian materi secara mandiri, melibatkan siswa dalam apersepsi, menjadi fasilitator selama pembelajaran, mendorong siswa mencari berbagai sumber belajar, dan bersedia menerima umpan balik; 2) guru kurang siap dalam aspek perancangan tujuan, metode, media, alat penilaian, penilaian, dan tindak lanjut umpan balik.
