Bleeding disorders in implant dentistry: a narrative review and a treatment guide
Authors: Römer Paul , Heimes Diana , Pabst Andreas , Becker Philipp , Thiem Daniel G. E. , Kämmerer Peer W.
Published: April 2022

Purpose

Considering a high prevalence of congenital and especially acquired bleeding disorders, their heterogeneity and the multitude of possible treatments strategies, a review of the scientific data on this topic is needed to implement a treatment guide for healthcare professionals.

Methods

A selective literature review was performed via PubMed for articles describing oral surgery / dental implant procedures in patients with congenital and acquired bleeding disorders. Out of the existing literature, potential treatment algorithms were extrapolated.

Results

In order to assess the susceptibility to bleeding, risk stratification can be used for both congenital and acquired coagulation disorders. This risk stratification, together with an appropriate therapeutic pathway, allows for an adequate and individualized therapy for each patient. A central point is the close interdisciplinary cooperation with specialists. In addition to the discontinuation or replacement of existing treatment modalities, local hemostyptic measures are of primary importance. If local measures are not sufficient, systemically administered substances such as desmopressin and blood products have to be used.

Conclusions

Despite the limited evidence, a treatment guide could be developed by means of this narrative review to improve safety for patients and practitioners. Prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to allow the implementation of official evidence-based guidelines.
Prolonged Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Results From a Large Population-Based Nested Case-Control Study
Authors: Ciardullo Stefano , Rea Federico , Savaré Laura , Morabito Gabriella , Perseghin Gianluca , Corrao Giovanni
Published: April 2022

Context

It is still debated whether prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) might affect metabolic health.

Objective

To investigate the relationship between prolonged use of PPIs and the risk of developing diabetes.

Methods

We performed a case-control study nested into a cohort of 777 420 patients newly treated with PPIs between 2010 and 2015 in Lombardy, Italy. A total of 50 535 people diagnosed with diabetes until 2020 were matched with an equal number of controls that were randomly selected from the cohort members according to age, sex, and clinical status. Exposure to treatment with PPIs was assessed in case-control pairs based on time of therapy. A conditional logistic regression model was fitted to estimate the odds ratios and 95% CIs for the exposure-outcome association, after adjusting for several covariates. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of our findings.

Results

Compared with patients who used PPIs for < 8 weeks, higher odds of diabetes of 19% (95% CI, 15-24), 43% (38-49), and 56% (49-64) were observed among those who used PPIs for between 8 weeks and 6 months, 6 months and 2 years, and > 2 years, respectively. The results were consistent when analyses were stratified according to age, sex, and clinical profile, with higher odds ratios being found in younger patients and those with worse clinical complexity. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the association was consistent and robust.

Conclusions

Regular and prolonged use of PPIs is associated with a higher risk of diabetes. Physicians should therefore avoid unnecessary prescription of this class of drugs, particularly for long-term use.
Associations of Moderate Low-Carbohydrate Diets With Mortality Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Wan Zhenzhen , Shan Zhilei , Geng Tingting , Lu Qi , Li Lin , Yin Jiawei , Liu Liegang , Pan An , Liu Gang
Published: April 2022

Context

A statement of context for the abstract was added in Objective as follows: Lower-carbohydrate-diet (LCD) has been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factor profile in general population. However, whether adherence to an LCD could benefit long-term survival among individuals with diabetes is unclear.

Objective

This work aimed to investigate the associations of different types of lower-carbohydrate diets with mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods

This prospective study included 5677 patients with T2D. The overall, unhealthy, and healthy lower-carbohydrate-diet (LCD) scores were calculated based on the percentage of energy from total and subtypes of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Deaths were determined via linkage to the National Death Index records until December 31, 2015. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of mortality.

Results

During a median of 6.3 years of follow-up (39 401 person-years), 1432 deaths were documented. After multivariable adjustment including lifestyle factors, diabetes duration, and glycated hemoglobin A1c, patients in the third quartile of overall LCD score had the lowest risk of mortality (HR: 0.65; 95% CI, 0.50-0.85), compared with the first quartile. The multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of mortality across quartiles of healthy lower-carbohydrate-diet score were 1.00 (reference), 0.78 (0.64-0.96), 0.73 (0.58-0.91), and 0.74 (0.58-0.95) (Ptrend = .01). Isocalorically replacing 2% of energy from carbohydrates with plant-based protein or polyunsaturated fatty acids was associated with 23% to approximately 37% lower total mortality. Similar results were observed when analyses were stratified by age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, and diabetes duration.

Conclusion

Healthy LCD score was significantly associated with a lower risk of mortality in adults with T2D. Adherence to a well-balanced moderate lower-carbohydrate diet that emphasizes healthy carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and polyunsaturated fat may prevent premature death among patients with T2D.
In Patients Undergoing CRS/HIPEC for Colorectal Adenocarcinoma with Peritoneal Metastases, Presence of Ascites on Computed Tomography Imaging is not a Prognostic Marker for Survival

Published: April 2022

Background

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a potentially curative treatment for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM). Patient selection is key to optimizing outcomes after CRS/HIPEC. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of ascites diagnosed on preoperative imaging.

Methods

A prospective database of patients eligible for CRS/HIPEC between 2010 and 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. The presence of ascites, postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and completeness of cytoreduction were assessed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors for outcome.

Results

Of the 235 included patients, 177 (75%) underwent CRS/HIPEC while 58 (25%) were not eligible for CRS/HIPEC. In 42 of the 177 patients (24%) who underwent CRS/HIPEC, ascites was present on preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging. Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) score was significantly higher in patients with preoperative ascites compared with patients without (11 [range 2–30] vs. 9 [range 0–28], respectively; p = 0.011) and complete cytoreduction was more often achieved in patients without ascites (96.3% vs. 85.7%; p = 0.007). There was no significant difference in median DFS and OS after CRS/HIPEC between patients with and without ascites {10 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.1–12.9) vs. 9 months (95% CI 7.2–10.8), and 25 months (95% 9.4–40.6) vs. 27 months (95% CI 22.4–31.6), respectively}.

Conclusions

Ascites on preoperative imaging was not associated with worse survival in CRS/HIPEC patients with CRPM. Therefore, excluding patients from CRS/HIPEC based merely on the presence of ascites is not advisable.

Το θέμα των τοπολογικών ανωμαλιών έχει γίνει ένα πολύ ελκυστικό πεδίο μελέτης, δεδομένης της φαινομενικής συνάφειάς του με τόσο διαφορετικά συστήματα όσο το πρώιμο σύμπαν και η συμπυκνωμένη ύλη. Σύμφωνα με τον Μηχανισμό Kibble, η θεμελιώδης ομάδα ελαχίστων του σχετικού με το φυσικό μας σύστημα, δυναμικού πεδίου, παρέχει αρκετές πληροφορίες για ασφαλή εκτίμηση σχετικά με τη δυνατότητα αυτού του συστήματος να εμφανίσει τοπολογικές ανωμαλίες. Οι τελευταίες θα αντιστοιχούν σε κάποια λύση των σχετικών εξισώσεων πεδίου. Αργότερα, όταν η διαμόρφωση πεδίου έχει κατασταλάξει σε μια συγκεκριμένη λύση, τοπολογικές μέθοδοι μπορούν να βοηθήσουν στον εντοπισμό των όποιων ανωμαλιών. Μέχρι σε ποιό σημείο, όμως, οι τοπολογικές θεωρήσεις σχετίζονται με τη δημιουργία των ανωμαλιών είναι ένα κρίσιμο ζήτημα που απαιτεί περαιτέρω έρευνα. Σύμφωνα με το αξίωμα του Ginzburg, η σταθερότητα των ανωμαλιών σχετίζεται με κάποιο τοπολογικό φορτίο το οποίο, με τη σειρά του, θα μπορούσε να εξαρτάται από θερμικές διακυμάνσεις στην παράμετρο τάξης σε κάποια κλίμακα μεγέθους. Σε περίπτωση που δημιουργηθούν ανωμαλίες, τότε το ζητούμενο είναι να βρεθεί η αρχική πυκνότητά τους. Το σενάριο Zurek παρέχει μια εύλογη απάντηση σε αυτό, μέσα από μια σειρά αιτιακών περιορισμών που οδηγούν σε ορισμένους νόμους κλιμάκωσης για τις ποσότητες όπως το μήκος συσχέτισης και ο χρόνος χαλάρωσης που σχετίζονται με την πυκνότητα των ανωμαλιών την στιγμή της σταθεροποίησης. Έχουν γίνει πολλά πειράματα με στόχο τη δοκιμή κι επιβεβαίωση των ιδεών που διατυπώθηκαν, αλλά κανένα, μέχρι στιγμής, δεν έχει παράσχει ασφαλή επιχειρήματα υπέρ ή εναντίον τους. Εφαρμόζουμε αυτές τις θεωρίες σε συστήματα με Josephson Tunnel Junctions τα οποία και προτείνουμε ως πιθανά υποψήφια για περαιτέρω δοκιμές της τρέχουσας εικόνας.

Plataformização e vídeo 360°: implicações para o jornalismo no Brasil implicações para o jornalismo no Brasil.
Authors: Silva Rodrigues Ligia Coeli , Lima Luciellen
Published: April 2022

O jornalismo enfrenta mais uma etapa de adaptações e ajustes que emergem através dos processos de plataformização. Novos formatos surgem através do uso de recursos oferecidos por empresas de tecnologia, que além de ofertarem condições de distribuição, elaboram estratégias de orientação e treinamento para jornalistas. Dentro dessa discussão, o foco deste trabalho são vídeos 360 graus com fins jornalísticos divulgados no cenário brasileiro. Diante disso, os objetivos são: 1) discutir a distribuição dos vídeos jornalísticos em 360 graus no contexto da plataformização, 2) entender como Facebook e YouTube influenciaram no desenvolvimento desse tipo de conteúdo, apontando vantagens e desvantagens dessa relação e 3) propor o uso do termo plataformas pedagogizantes para discutir as implicações desses recursos. Como marco teórico, as discussões partem do conceito de plataformização (Van Dijck et al., 2018) e de bibliografias sobre narrativas imersivas no jornalismo. A metodologia abarca um estudo exploratório, envolvendo pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e entrevista com jornalistas. Dentre os resultados foi constatada uma dependência do Facebook e do YouTube para a distribuição de vídeos 360 graus, problemas de sustentabilidade da produção desse formato, incluindo a inviabilidade do investimento em aplicativos próprios. Concluímos que as narrativas jornalísticas brasileiras em vídeo 360 graus nasceram da própria lógica da plataformização, impulsionadas por empresas de plataformas e de tecnologia, numa relação na qual há ganhos e perdas.

Contos Ordinários de Melancolia, de Ruth Ducaso, e a sua afluência com a literatura, cultura e identidade
Authors: Damasceno Maria Clara Aquino , De Barros Flávia Aninger
Published: April 2022

Este artigo, de natureza bibliográfica, cumpre com a finalidade de discutir a relação entre literatura, cultura e identidade, entronizando o diálogo com a memória, com o gesto de criação e outros conceitos que compõem o apanágio dessa intersecção. Em um segundo plano, também coloca em perspectiva como essa relação é transposta e passível de verificação na obra literária Contos ordinários de melancolia (2017a), de Ruth Ducaso – assinatura estética da escritora baiana Luciany Aparecida, sobretudo, em dois textos específicos. Para tanto, recorrer-se-á ao ideário de Hall (2014), no tocante à discussão de identidade; Chartier (2014), no que concerne à relação entre memória e escrita; Souza (2002), quanto à conexão entre obra e autor, fato e ficção; Butler (1998) e Almeida (2012) sobre as questões de gênero e demais desdobramentos; além de outras contribuições teóricas. Dentre as conclusões alcançadas, destaca-se que o deslocamento, característico da pós-modernidade, opera nas identidades e, mesmo, nas subjetividades, efeitos muito positivos, a começar pela criação de novas identidades, novos sujeitos, desarticulando, com isso, a estabilidade cartesiana do passado.
O grito das multidões: uma poética das vozes em luta para vencer o silêncio
Authors: Berenice da Cruz Maria de Fátima
Published: April 2022

RESUMO: Neste momento pandêmico em que o silêncio se torna fator preponderante para repensarmos a vida e a morte, eis que surge uma obra poética de forte impacto reflexivo sobre a nossa história, memória e existência. Vozes em Luta: poemas para vencer a solidão (2020) convida o leitor a refletir sobre a condição de ser humano a partir de sua imersão pessoal. Desse modo, este artigo analisa a poética de Lícia Soares de Souza, tomando como fundamento para a análise um diálogo com dois temas presentes nos estudos de Jean-Paul Sartre, a náusea e a angústia. O livro é composto de 51 poemas; contudo, para uma eficaz consecução metodológica, foi feito um recorte de amostragem para uma melhor imersão temática.

Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study was to compare parameter estimates for the 2-compartment and diffusion kurtosis imaging models obtained from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expression-controlled cells, and to look for biomarkers that indicate differences in the cell membrane water permeability. DWI was performed on AQP4-expressing and non-expressing cells and the signal was analyzed with the 2-compartment and diffusion kurtosis imaging models. For the 2-compartment model, the diffusion coefficients (Df, Ds) and volume fractions (Ff, Fs, Ff = 1-Fs) of the fast and slow compartments were estimated. For the diffusion kurtosis imaging model, estimates of the diffusion kurtosis (K) and corrected diffusion coefficient (D) were obtained. For the 2-compartment model, Ds and Fs showed clear differences between AQP4-expressing and non-expressing cells. Fs was also sensitive to cell density. There was no clear relationship with the cell type for the diffusion kurtosis imaging model parameters. Changes to cell membrane water permeability due to AQP4 expression affected DWI of cell suspensions. For the 2-compartment and diffusion kurtosis imaging models, Ds was the parameter most sensitive to differences in AQP4 expression.
Changes of landscape structure and soil production function since the 18th century in north-west saxony
Authors: Baude Mike , Meyer Burghard C.
Published: April 2022

The objectives of this paper are (1) to reconstruct time series of the historical and current landscape structures based on historical documents and serial cadastral maps, (2) to analyse the changes of agricultural production function by the application of historical soil assessments and (3) to analyse the connections between landscape structure and production function in reference to the social and economic driving forces.

The case study area is today an intensively-used agricultural landscape located nearby Taucha-Eilenburg (NW-Saxony), Germany. Arable landscapes in Germany are changing with increasing dynamics: valuable structures and landscape functions of the traditional and multifunctional landscape were lost. New landscape structures replaced the traditional ones slowly or sometimes also in short time steps. Therefore, this paper focuses on the changes of landscape structures and that of the soil production function induced by land use since the 18th century. The changes are analysed on the basis of historical and serial cadastral maps and documents by covering four time steps from 1750 to 2005. The historical maps were scanned, geo-referenced and digitalised in GIS. Thus, quantitative analysis of landscape structure changes on parcel level is enabled. The production function is explicitly reconstructed on the basis of the Prussian Taxation of the real estate of 1864 (Preußische Grundsteuerbonitierung) and The German Soil Taxation (Reichsbodenschätzung) of 1937.

Changes observed on the serial cadastral maps were linked with the social and economical driving forces and the soil production  function. Moreover, there is a high demand for the development of methodologies to analyse and to assess time series of landscape structures, land use and landscape functions in the historical context of landscape development.

Multi-duplication beam source for virtual reality-head mounted display under leaky mode resonance
Authors: ogata yoichi
Published: April 2022

We realized a multi-duplication of the emission beam generated at the surface by using the excitation of theleaky mode in a TiO2 slanted nanograting layer. In the TiO2 layer, the beam is waveguided along the short-axisdirection of the grating at a specific injection angle Θ. On the surface of the layer, a beam consisting of leakagegenerated during the waveguide is emitted. The emitted beam would have a high optical intensity comparedwith the general emission. Furthermore, it would generate an afterimage for the waveguide direction. In thiswork, we performed angle-resolved measurements to obtain two effects, namely intensity improvement andafterimaging. Subsequently, we identified an appropriate resonance condition for the above leaky radiation onthe 1D waveguide on the surface. Thereby, the resonance peak for the leaky waveguide with ΘFWHM = 8.0–10.0°at Θ = 10° was verified in the measurement. This grating sample is likely to be effective as a novel coupler on abinocular virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) based on multiduplication broadband beamemission.
Solitary Splenic Hydatid Cyst

Published: April 2022

Splenic hydatid cyst is very rare, caused by the parasite echinococcus granulosus. Humans are considered an accidental intermediate host in the development of the parasite cycle. It poses a diagnostic dilemma with other cystic masses despite improved medical imaging techniques often requiring exploratory surgeries for fear of missing out on a malignant tumor. Total or partial splenectomy remains the treatment of first choice and the most effective. We report a case of solitary splenic hydatid cyst and discuss the different differential diagnoses and therapeutic modalities.
The historical evolution of military logistics and the analysis of Turkish Independence War in the scope of the Great Offensive (1922) stage
Authors: Hanağası Uğur Baran , Ercan Arda
Published: April 2022

The concept of logistics has been togetherly uttered with the art of military. Logistics is a military knowledge which has emerged because of the necessity of supplying subsistence weapons, health services, accommodation and transportation conditions forth earmy and it has been a vital factor for each wars of the man kind history. This term, which has been used with the armies that changed the path of the history, is used not only with the military but also with trade. Throughout the ages, supporting the armies has become more complicated as the size of them has been expanded.  Naturally, the origin of word logistics, logistikos that means ‘‘calculating wisely’’ pinpoints the importance of this knowledge for the effective advances of the armies in wars. From the ancient times to the present day, the armies that have been specialized in logistics reached out the victories in an easier war. War strategy thinkers like SunTzu, Antoine-Henri Jominiand Carl von Clause witz have emphasized the importance of supporting the armies and explained logistics in their works. In our work, after explaining the importance and historical evolution of military logistics and its literature by giving examples from warfare history, the Great Offensive (1922) that was an one of the most important chapter sandcase of existence of the Turkish History will be evaluated by the analysis of military logistics of the event.

Özet
 
Lojistik kavramı antik çağlardan itibaren askerlik sanatı beraber ile anılmıştır. Savaş sırasında ve askeri harekatlarda ordunun ihtiyacı olan yiyecek içeceğin, silah, sağlık hizmetleri, ulaşım koşulları ve barınmanın temin edilmesi gereksiniminden doğan ve bir askerlik bilgisi olan lojistik insanlık tarihinin her savaşında etkin bir faktör olmuştur. Tarihin yönünü değiştiren savaşlar ve bunların parçası olan orduları zafere götüren en önemli olgulardan biri olan bu kavram, günümüzde askerlik kadar ticaret ile de beraber anılmaktadır. Çağlar boyunca hücum eden kuvvetlerin en iyi şekilde desteklenmesi özellikle büyüyen ordular ile daha da karmaşık bir hal almıştır. Doğal olarak lojistik kelimesinin Yunanca kökeni olan logistikos’un da taşıdığı mana olan ‘‘mantıklı hesaplama’’ orduların savaşlarda sağlıklı ilerlemelerinde önem arz etmeye başlamış, Antik çağlardan günümüze kadar lojistik konusunda uzmanlaşan ordular zafere daha kolay ulaşabilmişlerdir. Ünlü askeri stratejistler Sun Tzu, Antoine-Henri Jomini ve Carl von Clausewitz eserlerinde ordunun lojistik anlamda desteklenmesine atıfta bulunarak, bu kavramı eserlerinde açıklamışladır. Çalışmamızda lojistiğin askerlik sanatında ki önemini ve tarihsel evrimini izah edip, tarihi savaşlarda lojistiğin kullanılma biçimlerini hatırlattıktan sonra, Türk Tarihi’nin en önemli fasıllarından birini oluşturan ve bir ulusun varoluşunu simgeleyen Büyük Taarruz’un lojistik açısından değerlendirilmesine yer verilecektir.
From Collocation to Cultural Perspectives on Polygamy: The Study of Semantic Prosody of Poligami in Ayat-Ayat Cinta 1 and Catatan Hati Seorang Istri 1
Authors: Liu Hsiu-Ying , Hamida Layli , Wijayanti Sheila
Published: April 2022

This paper studies word collocation of “poligami” in two Indonesian novels entitled Ayat-Ayat Cinta 1 and Catatan Hati Seorang Istri 1, aiming to examine cultural perspectives about polygamy in literary works. Corpus data is used as the basis of studies to examine the collocation of the word “poligami” in the two novels. The results obtained are further classified into nouns, verbs, and adjectives using the language theory involving semantic prosody and culture linguistics. Based on the collocations of “poligami”, the two novelists appear to have different attitudes towards polygamy. The neutral attitude in Ayat-Ayat Cinta 1 indicates that the male author is not exactly in favor of polygamy while Catatan Hati Seorang Istri 1 written by a female author is positive and this reflects women’s acceptance of the idea of polygamy in the novel.
Social Networking Technologies in Promoting Language Socialization: EFL Teachers' Beliefs
Authors: Al-Hamzi Ali Mohammed Saleh , Hamida Layli
Published: April 2022

Teachers' views influence how they choose pedagogical methods and how they execute teaching practices in the classroom. An investigation of teachers' views regarding the notion of "language socialization" (LS) and how it may be used to enhance pedagogical application via the use of social networking technologies (SNTs) in a Yemeni EFL setting is the subject of this study. In this study, 30 EFL teachers participated in a survey. Five males were interviewed out of the total number of participants. The findings revealed that the vast majority of teachers had good associations with LS as a teaching method and positive reactions to the use of SNTs in the EFL classrooms even though most participants had never used SNTs in their own classrooms. Because of a lack of access to and training in the usage of SNTs, teachers have been prevented from integrating them into their classrooms when teaching English. This suggests that instructors recognize the important functions that SNTs play in improving students’ language learning and socialization but that they lack first-hand experience and training in how to use them in their classrooms effectively. That there is a shortage of provision must be addressed as soon as possible to guarantee that Yemeni English as a foreign language teachers and their students have the chance to engage with new technologies in order to enhance their educational experiences critically.
Biologically Based Merge of Wh-questions in the Bamboo Slips of Tao Te Ching
Authors: Ma Daoshan
Published: April 2022

The bamboo slips of Tao Te Ching is the earliest found version of the ancient Chinese classic philosophical work written by Li Er in the Spring Warring State Era. The merger operation of the wh-questions in the bamboo slips of Tao Te Ching is dealt with in this thesis. External merge of the wh-words is contrasted with the internal merge of wh-words in wh-questions and non-wh-words in topic structures of wh-questions in the bamboo slips of Tao Te Ching. The biologically localized merger is further discussed and proven by the experiment on the aphasic patients of the biscuits stolen story.
Human Values for a Sustainable Future from the Czech and Slovak Perspective
Authors: Huba Mikuláš
Published: April 2022

Human values compatible with a sustainable way of living are a set of values, the implementation of which promote the shift towards sustainable future. These values are not completely new and are not related to the idea of “social engineering”. Just opposite. They create the core of the common heritage of Mankind, since the oldest religious and cultures until today. Human values and environmental ethics were of particular importance during the first Pan-European Environmental Ministers Conference at Dobříš Castle near Prague (1991). This conference was initiated by Josef Vavroušek: former Czechoslovak Minister of the Environment. Due to this fact, Josef Vavroušek used to be called the father of the “Environment for Europe”. This article is dedicated to his memory.

Arithmetic convolution sums derived from eta quotients related to divisors of 6
Authors: Ikikardes Nazli Yildiz , Hwang Jihyun , Kim Daeyeoul
Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper is to find arithmetic convolution sums of some restricted divisor functions. When divisors of a certain natural number satisfy a suitable condition for modulo 12, those restricted divisor functions are expressed by the coefficients of certain eta quotients. The coefficients of eta quotients are expressed by the sine function and cosine function, and this fact is used to derive formulas for the convolution sums of restricted divisor functions and of the number of divisors. In the sine function used to find the coefficients of eta quotients, the result is obtained by utilizing a feature with symmetry between the divisor and the corresponding divisor. Let

Mišljenje ravnatelja posebnih odgojno obrazovnih ustanova o kvaliteti i učinkovitosti online nastave
Authors: Bakota Koraljka , Pavičić Dokoza Katarina , Punjek Lucija
Published: April 2022

Pandemija izazvana COVID-19 virusom značajno je utjecala na sve segmenta života, tako i na odgojno-obrazovni sustav. Posebno je bila zahtjevna priprema i provedba online nastave u posebnim odgojnoobrazovnim ustanovama u kojima se školuju učenici s većim teškoćama u razvoju. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 22 ravnatelja posebnih odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova (od ukupno 35 u Republici Hrvatskoj) s ciljem da se utvrde stavovi ravnatelja prema online nastavi koja se u vrijeme pandemijske krize provodila u ustanovama kojima su na čelu. Ispitivanje je provedeno putem upitnika sastavljenog za ovo ispitivanje. Dobiveni podatci su se analizirali testiranjem deskriptivne statistike. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su ravnatelji posebnih odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova bili nešto slabije zadovoljni podrškom institucija koje prate rad odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova tijekom online nastave, izrazili su potrebu za dodatnom edukacijom učenika, roditelja i učitelja i istaknuli da su se pojavili razni zahtjevi vezano uz specifične digitalne didaktičke materijale namijenjene online nastavi. Ravnatelji smatraju da su se roditelji nešto slabije snašli u svojoj ulozi tijekom online nastave, da učenici i roditelji nisu bili niti zadovoljni niti nezadovoljni online nastavom te da je za učenike s teškoćama u razvoju tradicionalni način nastave prihvatljiviji od mješovite nastave i online nastave.

The paper presents the results of surgical treatment of 45 postmenopausal women with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia. The objective: is to establish the features of the postoperative period depending on the method of endometrial ablation in postmenopausal patients with endometrial hyperplastic processes. Materials and methods. The study included 45 women with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia: 25 women of postmenopausal age with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia, who were treated with hysteroscopic monopolar ablation of the endometrium and 20 women of postmenopausal age with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia, who underwent radiowave endometrial ablation. In the postoperative period, on 3, 7 days and after 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months, the complaints, the general condition, the nature of the discharge from the genital tract were evaluated, gynecological examination with ultrasound examination of the pelvis were provided, office hysteroscopy or endometrial aspiration from the uterus were provided according to indications. Results. It is advisable to recommend endometrial ablation for the patients with non-atypical forms of postmenopausal endometrial hyperplasia as an alternative to hormonal treatment or hysterectomy. The efficiency of radiowave ablation of the endometrium with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia is 85.0%. The effectiveness of monopolar hysteroscopic ablation of the endometrium in women with non-atypical forms of endometrial hyperplasia is 96.0%. In the case of recurrence of the endometrial hyperplastic process (bleeding, thickening of the M-echo according to ultrasound data), hysteroscopy is shown with mandatory hystopathological studies and diagnosis verification. Conclusions. After ablation of the endometrium, follow-up is advisable for two years. The method of choice for follow-up observation of the state of the endometrium of the uterus in women after endometrial ablation is transvaginal ultrasound, which is performed after 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months of observation.

The objective: to study the effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with bacterial vaginosis compared with conventional antibiotic therapy. Materials and methods. Under the supervision were 56 women of reproductive age with a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. Patients were divided into 4 groups. The first group included 10 women who previously received antibiotic therapy on extragenital diseases. Women are administered clindamycin vaginal cream of miconazole and followed by intravaginal drug use Feminum intima and probiotic system Laktostar Plus. The second group consisted of 10 women who have previously received antibiotic therapy on extragenital diseases. Patients administered the drug Feminum intima and Laktostar Plus without using antibiotics. The third group is formed of 23 women who did not receive pre-antibiotic therapy. Prescribed combination therapy that, in addition to antibacterial cream included intravaginal drug Feminum intima and probiotic system Laktostar Plus. 23 women fourth group administered antibacterial cream and then using the drug Feminum intima. Monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment was carried out by clinical and laboratory course of the disease based on the dynamic changes of complaints of patients, assessment data pH measuring (7, 21 and 60 day observation of treatment), assessment of the ecological community conducted a test system Femoflor 16 at 7 and 21 days of early treatment. Results. In general, clinical and microbiological efficacy after completion of BV treatment in the 1-st and 3rd groups was noted in all patients, in the 2-nd group – in 90%, in the 4-th group – in 83% of women. Clinical efficacy (complaint regression and objective data normalization) averaged 4.4 days in group 1, 5.8 days in group 2, 4.2 days in groups 3 and 4, 4 days – in the 4-th group. An examination after 60 days showed that clinically relapsed BV occurred in 4 (7%) patients, 2 of whom were in the 4th observation group. Conclusion. The results showed that the combined treatment of bacterial vaginosis with the use of antibacterial vaginal gel Feminum intima and probiotic Laktostar Plus effectively and quickly restores the vaginal environment helps eliminate dysbiosis system and the rapid return of the normal microflora vaginally, reduces the number of recurrences of bacterial vaginosis.

If That Which Thou Seekest Thou Findest Not Within Thee, Thou Wilt Never Find It On The Internet
Authors: Fitzpatrick Joanne
Published: April 2022

This paper is an examination of the information behaviors and habits of practising Pagans and ritual magicians. Aspects of information behavior relevant to contemporary Paganism are discussed, before features of Paganism that may affect information needs and use are presented. An online questionnaire covering the six areas of information needs, access, retrieval, quality, use and literacy was administered with 142 respondents, and five of those were subsequently interviewed at length, before the results were analyzed using an interpretivist methodology, with reference to existing information behavior models deemed relevant. The results present the beginning stages of a model of Pagan and Occult information behavior, showing seven sliding scales concerning issues practicing Pagans and ritual magicians face when engaging with information, on which each individual may have very different positions.
Primary Rhabdomyosarcoma of Kidney with Local Recurrence and Liver Metastasis in Adults
Authors: Nasrollahi Hamid , Eslahi Ali , Ariafar Ali , Ahmed Faisal , Monabati Ahmad
Published: April 2022

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the kidney in an adult is rare, with only a few cases published in the literature. It is a mesenchymal tumor associated with an aggressive and rapid clinical progression course. We present a case of primary renal RMS in a 58-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain in the past year. The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 20×25×8 cm heterogeneous solid mass in the middle pole extended to the lower pole of the right kidney. Therefore, the patient underwent a right radical nephroureterectomy. Histopathology examination and immunohistochemistry studies confirmed the diagnosis of RMS with pleomorphic components. Postoperatively, the patient was discharged without any complications and was referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy. However, a follow-up CT scan in 2 months showed widespread liver metastasis and local recurrence. The patient received Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, but her condition worsened, and she passed away 5 months later. Primary renal RMS is rare in adults. In addition, liver metastasis is uncommon and poorly understood. Hence, we describe the clinicopathologic characteristics, including clinical follow-up of our case, focusing on the disease progression, treatment, and outcome.

Judging Deliberation: An Assessment of the Crowdsourced Icelandic Constitutional Project
Authors: Popescu Delia , Loveland Matthew
Published: April 2022

This study explores deliberation as a lived experience between individuals engaged in putatively deliberative practices. While face-to-face deliberation is well documented, there are fewer empirical studies that address its online counterpart. The authors review current theoretical conceptualizations and operationalize a measure of deliberation, and then apply the measure to the case of the debate fostered by the Constitutional Council online public platform dedicated to drafting the Icelandic constitution - the first “crowdsourced” constitutional project in the world. This is the first effort to both quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the nature of deliberation in the case of Iceland. Generally, this exploration is meant to identify and analyze markers of deliberation in a setting that aspires to foster such exchanges. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of this work for future political theory and related empirical investigation.
