Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: Following injury to the extremities and head, abdomen is the third most commonly injured part of the body. Blunt abdominal trauma is one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality among younger age group. Here we study clinical abdominal scoring system (CASS) in predicting the necessity of laparotomy in blunt abdominal trauma in the era of modern imaging modality.
METHODS: 100 patient of blunt abdominal trauma were included in this study at SMS Medical College Jaipur over a period of six month (July 21 to Dec 21). Data were collected about incidence history, medical history, demographics, clinical examination, diagnostic and imaging test, management and outcome.
RESULT: On admission for all 100 patient CASS was calculated. 29 patient fall in low risk group (<9 CASS) planned to manage conservatively (all improved). 14 patient were fall in high risk group (>12 CASS) planned to manage with immediate laparotomy (12 improved, 2 died). 57 patient fall in intermediate risk group (9-11 CASS) were followed with repeated clinical examination and modern imaging modality i.e. CT scan, 17 patient (out of 57~29%) were managed with laparotomy (15 improved, 2 died) and 40 patient (out of 57~71%) managed conservatively (all improved).
CONCLUSION: CASS is promising in early detection of need of laparotomy in BAT patient, in equivocal result (intermediate risk group CASS) CT findings are useful for decision making about surgical vs. conservative management approach.
Cardiovascular autonomic responses in reproductive and post-menopausal women
Authors: Paul Mohan , Shenoy Saritha , Thomas Ronnie , Tony Rebecca
Published: April 2023

Background: Autonomic responses are a sensitive indicator for assessing balance in sympatho-vagal system. Many studies have shown an increased response in the sympathetic system in post-menopausal women. Alteration in autonomic nerve function causes an increased incidence of hypertension, arrhythmias, or acute coronary syndrome. Thus, this study aims to find out the heart rate variability (HRV) among reproductive and post-menopausal women.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the cardiovascular autonomic responses among reproductive and post-menopausal women.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of physiology at government medical college, Kottayam on 40 reproductive and 40 post-menopausal women. Using PHYSIOPAC-PP4 (Medicaid Systems Chandigarh) machine, an electrocardiogram was recorded in both groups in the supine position for 5 min. The frequency and time domain data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software.

Results: The mean age group in reproductive women was 43 and post-menopausal women was 54. In the power spectrum analysis of HRV parameters the mean value of frequency domain Low frequency (LF) in reproductive women was 72.05 (S.D = 5.706) and post-menopausal women was 79.48 (S.D = 3.789). The high frequency (HF) in reproductive women was 28 (S.D = 5.588) and post-menopausal women were 20.53 (S.D = 3.789). The LF/HF ratio mean value obtained in reproductive women was 2.723 (S. D = 0.759) and post–menopausal was 3.992 (S.D 0.785). In the various time domain parameters, we estimated the mean value of the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) between normal heartbeats RMSSD and obtained the value in reproductive women as 25.05 (S.D = 11.88) and post-menopausal women as 12.68 (S.D = 5.535). The RR interval triangular index mean value in reproductive women was 0.0520 (S.D = 0.013) and post-menopausal women were 0.0345 (S.D = 0.01). In all these parameters, the P-value was found to be <0.001, so statistically highly significant.

Conclusion: In this study, higher values in time domain and frequency domain parameters for assessing sympathetic functions were seen in postmenopausal women when compared to women of the reproductive age group which was statistically significant. This may be due to age and hormonal influences. The power spectrum analysis of HRV parameters was proved to be a noninvasive method to assess the sympathovagal balance in the study group of women.

Authors: Pasi Dinesh , Singh Jaswinder , Kaur Preetmohinder , Kumar Ashwani , Singh Tejinder , Dhamija Parth
Published: April 2023

Background: Normal breast tissue cells are sensitive to the number of hormones among which estrogen and prolactin have the most dramatic effect on the breast. Malignant breast tissue cells can behave in this respect similar to the normal cells. Prolactin is necessary for maintenance and proliferation of ductal cells. Alteration in either the qualitative or quantitative expression of prolactin or in receptor could contribute to the pathogenesis of breast cancer.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate serum prolactin level in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal breast cancer patient and to establish the correlation of circulating prolactin levels with parameters of primary tumor size and to evaluate the prolactin as a potential marker in histologically confirmed breast cancer patients.

Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of general surgery and department of biochemistry on 40 female patients of histopathologically confirmed breast cancer referred by the department of general surgery, rajindra hospital patiala which were taken as study group, while 20 healthy females were taken as control group.

Results: The comparison of serum prolactin levels of pre-operative versus post-operative 1 month shows P < 0.0001 and t = 5.668 which is extremely significant. The comparison of serum prolactin levels of post-operative 1 month versus post-operative 6 months was found to be non-significant. The comparison of serum prolactin levels of preoperative versus post-operative 6 months showed P < 0.0001 and t value-6.077 which was extremely significant.

Conclusion: It is thus concluded that role of prolactin as an etiological factor in the initiation of the breast cancer in human has not been firmly documented. Furthermore, it still remains to be clarified whether hyper prolactinemia is the result or the cause of breast cancer.

Banana Farm Workers’ Preference of an Access to Health Care and Education: A Conjoint Analysis
Authors: Manayan Francis Evan L.
Published: April 2023

In lieu of a concrete living wage calculation for Kapatagan Banana Growers Cooperative (A Cavendish banana grower in Barangay Kapatagan, Digos City) in their conformance to the Rainforest Alliance Standard certification program, this study determined the farm workers’ preference of an access to health care and education program. Conjoint analysis was used in determining the highly preferable attributes among 259 respondents. Through literature and farm records review, the four attributes are formulated: (1) frequency of medical mission, (2) health awareness topics, (3) provision of annual school supplies, and (4) educational information drives. The results revealed that the educational information drive has the highest utility value in which respondents prefer topics on climate change, carbon footprints reduction and waste management. The second variable with the highest utility value is the frequency of medical mission wherein respondents prefer to have it in a semi-annual basis. School supplies came out to be the third in rank (provision of writing materials and books) and the attribute on health awareness value (topics on AIDS/HIV, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis prevention) came out with the lowest utility. Based on the result, the study recommends that the issue on living wage shall not be taken by cooperatives or employers into something that is within the liability concept but rather a responsibility which involves continuous communication and immersion to come up with more appropriate services’ attributes.
Rule of Akbar in Kashmir: An Explanatory Study
Authors: MIR ISHFAQ AHMAD
Published: April 2023

Jammu and Kashmir are frequently referred to be "heaven on earth." According to the Farsi couplet, if there is heaven on earth, it is this, this, and this (Amir Khusrau) (Amir Khusrau). The couplet piqued the interest of various kingdoms interested in ruling over Kashmir. The Mughals had been interested in Kashmir since the beginning of their rule in India in 1526. Their first effort to take the tiny Himalayan country occurred in 1528, under the reign of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Dynasty. The Mughal army ultimately succeeded in annexing Kashmir in 1586, snatching its independence and lowering it to the status of a subah (province) of their empire after several failed military invasions over half a century. Since the death of Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin, Kashmir has seen intolerance, ferocious fanaticism, political maneuvering, and party strife. Sultan Muhammad, the ruler of Kashmir, had travelled to India to seek refuge from his uncle Fatah Khan as long back as the time of the Delhi Sultan, Sikandar Lodi. Sikander Lodi backed him up militarily, restored him to the throne, and drove Fatah Khan out of Kashmir. The Lodi family, however, did not attempt to take Kashmir. However, as time passed, several more weak kings followed in his footsteps, this time towards the Mughal Emperor. After being conquered by Babur, who established the Indian Mughal Empire, and later by Humayun’s, both of whom failed, the Valley was finally taken over by Akbar the Great in 1586. He accomplished this by exploiting the Valley's chaotic administration. The goal of this study is to explore Akbar's rule in Kashmir and the important actions he implemented in Kashmir. Furthermore, more the study adopted historical and descriptive method to reach on conclusion.
Legacy of Buddhism in Kashmir
Authors: Bhat Rashid Manzoor
Published: April 2023

Both the Nilamata Purana and Kalhana's Rajatarangini show the significance of Buddhism in classical Kashmiri culture. According to Buddhist history, Buddhism was introduced to Kashmir by a Varanasi monk named Majjhantika, a student of Ananda. During his administration of Srinagar in the 13th and 14th centuries, Mauryan ruler Ashoka introduced Buddhism to Kashmir. The Kushans, who ruled across Pakistan and Afghanistan in the first century, are supposed to have dominated this region. So far, there hasn't been much of a distinction in the history of Buddhism in Kashmir and the rest of the country. Before the arrival of the Aryans, the valley was inhabited by Naga, Pishacha, and Yakshas. Nagas, for example, are revered for their historical and cultural value. Both the proponent of Sankhya Darshana, Kapil, and the author of Patanjali are thought to be local Nagans. Two of the most famous Buddhist philosophers and intellectuals, Nagarjun and Naga Budhi, are also supposed to be Nagas. Following the entrance of the Aryans, these Kashmiri aborigines appear to have converted to the Vedic faith and eventually to Buddhism. The teachings of Buddhism have tremendously improved India's mentality, culture, religion, and civilization. The aim of the study is to explain the foundation and culture of Buddhism in Jammu and Kashmir.

Brincar, fotografar, produzir culturas: experiências estéticas de crianças na creche
Authors: Silva Marta Regina Paulo da , Oliveira Vanilza Ramos Rodrigues
Published: April 2023

O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que objetivou compreender como as crianças pequenas, a partir de sua produção fotográfica, leem e comunicam o mundo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que teve como procedimentos metodológicos a análise de fotografias produzidas por crianças de 3 anos em uma creche municipal da Região do Grande ABC, SP e entrevistas com educadoras. Como referencial teórico, dialogou com os estudos da infância. A análise dos dados demonstra que as crianças se entregam ao ato de fotografar com alegria e empoderamento e produzem imagens que denotam curiosidade, criatividade, imaginação, sensibilidade e investigação. Suas fotografias apresentam uma leitura de mundo aberta à novidade, em que criam novos e diferentes sentidos. Contudo, verifica-se que a fotografia ainda é pouco utilizada no cotidiano educacional como forma expressiva das crianças, o que desvela a necessidade de processos formativos sobre sua importância.

Applications of Biomimetic Adaptive Facades for Enhancing Building Energy Efficiency
Authors: Srisuwan Touchaphong
Published: April 2023

The façade is the main component related to the design, occupation and performance of buildings. In the past, traditional facades were always constructed as load-bearing structural elements without flexibility, which made it impossible to deal with the changing environment, resulting in the consumption of large amounts of energy to maintain the internal comfort conditions. Biomimetic adaptive strategies have been proposed as an optimal solution for improving building façade performance. This paper aims to present biomimetic strategies that are translated into design solutions for dynamic façades, resulting in adaptive, flexible and more efficient façade design. Several illustrated case studies and researches have shown the high potential of biomimetic adaptive facades to reduce total energy consumption without reducing the internal comfort of buildings, which is a promising new approach to energy-efficient and sustainable building solutions.

Published: April 2023

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The proper management of this cancer during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or similar outbreaks could be a serious challenge. Proper timing of surgery, radiotherapy, and other medical modalities are essential in providing the most effective treatment. Objectives: This systematic review aimed at evaluating the proper management of prostate cancer during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: This study was conducted from 2019 to 2022. An internet search was conducted using the keywords: Diagnosis, management, radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, hormone ablation therapy, chemotherapy and prostate cancer, and COVID-19. The visited databases included PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Google Scholar, and Scientific Information Database. The review was performed based on the preferred reporting items for a systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: Postponing the biopsy for up to three months and adopting of non-invasive diagnostic methods were likely reasonable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients with cancer were more prone to severe injuries and were more likely to have serious complications. Surgery, radiation therapy, brachytherapy, palliative radiation, hormone ablation therapy, and chemotherapy were among the pre-institutional treatments that had to be performed according to medical protocols as well as health and professional guidelines. Conclusions: It was recommended that the prostate cancer screening should not be performed for asymptomatic men during the COVID-19 outbreak. It was also suggested that the treatment should be performed in the shortest possible time and in the safest way.

Published: April 2023

Нарушение микроциркуляции – важнейшее звено патогенеза возрастных эстетических дефектов кожи. С возрастом происходит облитерация просвета капилляров, исчезающие капилляры замещаются соединительной тканью, уменьшается транскапиллярный кровоток, нарушается доставка кислорода и энергетических субстратов к коже, а также эвакуация отработанных продуктов ее жизнедеятельности. Это приводит к формированию морщин, гравитационных изменений, ухудшению барьерной функции. В доказательство этого предположения авторы провели соответствующее клиническое исследование.

Objective: The aim of our study is to reveal the errors that can be encountered during the shooting of photogrammetric studies on the lower extremities.
Methods: We revealed the necessary tools that used during photogrammetry measurements of the lower limb. Also, the errors have been encountered of our two previous studies performed on photogrammetry of lower limbs. The technical errors or incorrect positioning of 20 from 220 volunteers were encountered.
Results: The identified errors of 20 volunteers’ photographs related to lower limb were about the inadequate quality image, calibration, poor lightining, positioning error of trunk or parts of lower limb and clothes that cover the anatomical points affected the measurements.
Conclusion: Photogrammetry is an important and useful tool for evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy monitoring. In anatomy, it is frequently used as a time-saving method in terms of measurement and evaluation in the laboratory, which can be applied and repeated for research. For this reason, errors that occur during the lower extremity have been reported and we think that it will be useful for studies on this part of the body and can be a guide.

Authors: McEntee Richard , Rengifo Santiago , Pedowitz David , Ilyas Asif M.
Published: April 2023

Objectives Post-operative infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in outpatient orthopaedic surgery. Orthopaedic surgical site infections have been estimated to occur in up to 5.6% of patients. Prior research has evaluated infection prevention related to operating room attire and hygiene, but no study has evaluated the effect on postoperative infection rates from surgeons having a beard. Methods Two fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons operated on a total of 940 patients during a consecutive 12-month period. During the first six months, surgeons were clean-shaven, and in the last six months, surgeons maintained a beard. A standard mask was worn at all times. Infectious complication data were collected retrospectively. Major infection was defined as hospitalization and/or return to the operating room, and minor infection was classified using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Surveillance Criteria for surgical site infections (SSI). Results Three (0.31%) patients developed a major infection, and 57 (6.05%) patients developed a minor infection. Of 471 patients operated on when surgeons were clean-shaven, two (0.42%) and 30 (6.62%) developed a major or minor infection, respectively. Of the 469 patients operated on when surgeons had beards, one (0.21%) and 27 (5.75%) patients developed a major or minor infection. The difference in major (P=1.00) and minor (P=0.80) infection rates between the 6-month periods was insignificant. Conclusions Similar infection rates for outpatient surgery were found when the surgeons did and did not have a beard. These findings indicate that while wearing a standard surgical mask, a surgeon having a beard at the time of surgery does not affect the postoperative infection rate.

From Aiding to Equal Partnership between the EU and African Countries: the Case of Ethiopia’s Tigray Conflict
Authors:   , Zhao Yue
Published: April 2023

This article mainly introduces the current situation of the Tigray conflict in Ethiopia and the EU's assistance to Ethiopia as well as the dialectical thinking on the EU's approach. In the first part, the author gives a brief history of Ethiopia to explain the relationship between the Tigray People's Liberation Front(TPLF)and the federal government. In this part, the article also narrates the general situation of Tigray War. At the same time, in order to further explain the reasons for the outbreak of the conflict in Tigray, the second part introduces the economic and ethnic issues behind the outbreak of the conflict. In the last part, this paper introduces the EU's foreign policy and aid situation to Ethiopia, from the overall overview to the political and aid situation after the outbreak of the conflict in Tigray. At the end of this part, this paper proposes ways forward for the EU's future relations with Ethiopia. At the same time, this paper applies the concept of “Normative Power Europe” (NPE) to dialectically analyze whether the European Union has really changed Ethiopia from a recipient country to an equal relationship. At the same time, how should the EU incorporate the concept of equal foreign relations with Ethiopia into its response to the Tigray conflict. In this paper, the author critically analyzes the existing behaviors of the EU, to what extent they can exert “normative pressure” on Ethiopia, and analyzes whether these behaviors are conducive to changing the political norms and national stability in Ethiopia, and gives suggestions on how the EU should deal with the relationship with Ethiopia in the future.
Evaluating environmental and social impacts of fluorescent lamp recycling processes in Thailand
Authors:   , Sari Ella
Published: April 2023

For the past decade, Thailand has had intensively installed Fluorescent Lamp (FL) for lighting purposes. Improper handling or disposal of a spent fluorescent lamp can cause not only environmental damage by releasing mercury and other metals to the environment but also human health impact. Master Plan on Solid Waste Management (2016-2021) of Thailand encouraged industrial waste management to reduce such impacts with less consideration of the social challenges experienced by the formal recyclers that might offset the sustainability of the recycling process.

This research aimed to identify enabling factors to improve the recycling process of SFLs using environmental life cycle assessment (ELCA) with SimaPro 8 and ReCiPe impact analysis, and social impact assessment (SIA) using UNEP/SETAC 2009 Guideline combined with semi-structured interviews with the formal recycling business representatives (n=2). The results showed that electricity consumption in the process contributed adversely to human health (14.96 µPt), ecosystem damage (0.74 µPt), and resource depletion (0.0086 µPt). Contrary, it has positive impacts on decent working conditions. In addition, the formal business struggled with the low material supply. The results displayed limited information on mercury impacts due to data availability and confirmation with other stakeholders. The research suggested that institutional capacity to comply with environmental and occupational safety standards supported with informal-formal partnership and sustainable financing schemes is the enabling factor to improve the recycling process in Thailand

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of trade openness (TO) and foreign directinvestment (FDI) on quality of environment in Pakistan. This study used ARDL bound test for cointegration, covering the period from 1975 to 2019. Statistical soundness of model is verified by usingdiagnostic tests. The findings of ARDL bound test indicate a long run (LR) relationship betweenvariables. The feedback coefficient confirms the adjustment in equilibrium in the LR. The outcomesreveal that both in LR and short-run (SR), FDI is detrimental for environment quality. Whereas, tradeopenness improves environment quality in the LR but it is harmful in the SR. The findings endorse thepresence of Environmental Kuznets Curve in Pakistan. Residual based diagnostic tests ratify thestatistical soundness of the model. The results suggest that while pursuing trade openness and FDIfriendly strategies for economic expansion in Pakistan, policymakers should also take care of theenvironment security. Otherwise FDI, trade-led growth will be threatening environmental sustainabilityina developing country which might be jeopardizing socio-economic development.
