Bringing the state back in
Authors: Knudsen Ståle , Rajak Dinah , Lange Siri , Hugøy Isabelle
Published: October 2020

This theme section brings the state back into anthropological studies of corporate social responsibility through the lens of Norwegian energy corporations working abroad. These transnational corporations (TNCs) are expected by the government to act responsibly when “going global.” Yet, we have observed that abroad, Norwegian corporations backed by state capital largely operate like any other TNCs. We argue that the driver for the adaptation to global capitalism is not coming from the embracing of neoliberal policies in Norway, but is rather inherent to the ways internationalization of the Norwegian economy is unfolding. To the extent that the Norwegian state has an impact on the corporations’ international endeavors, it relates primarily to the imperative of managing Norway’s reputation as a humanitarian superpower.

TIMING PREOSPEDALIERI E SERVIZI DI EMERGENZA MEDICA: STUDIO PRELIMINARE PRESSO IL TRAUMA SYSTEM EMILIA EST
Authors: Baldini Fabio , De Simone Giacomo , Musolesi Stefano
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The time factor in prehospital rescue is taken a reference to evaluate the efficiency of the emergency medical services (EMS). The scientific community agrees that the survival of a victim of a major trauma increase following a reduction of the pre-hospital time. The hypothesis of the importance of the prehospital time remains, in terms of trauma, although controversial. The purpose of the study is to determine the prehospital time and related subintervals in the victims of trauma, transported by ambulance in the Trauma System Emilia Est (region Emilia Romagna) and to check whether the injured person arrives at the hospital in a time ≤ 60 minutes and if the on-scene time is ≤ 15 minutes. The two times, taken as a comparison target, represent reference values in the United States, respectively: (1) the golden hour; (2) the ambulance’s average prehospital on-scene time in US. Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational study on all transports that had as a return code 2 or 3, which occurred by ambulance, of patients suffering trauma in the prehospital phase between 2016 and 2018. Results: The 74.6% ( 833/1116 cases) met the inclusion criteria. The average prehospital time an ambulance spent managing trauma was of 56.3 minutes. The average duration of the relevant sub-range was found to be: response time 9.4 minutes; on-scene time 30.1 minutes; transport time 16.4 minutes. In 62.1% (No.517) of cases, hospitalization took place in a time ≤ 60 minutes. In 14.8% (No.123) of the cases, the rescue crew remained at the scene for a time ≤ 15 minutes. Patients were transported in 35.9% (No.299) of cases to a Hub hospital (Trauma Center). Discussion: More than half of the transports, by ambulance, took place while respecting the golden hour. On-scene time is twice as long as the US reality (30.1 minutes instead of 15 minutes). The indications suggested by the authors to reduce prehospital times are: (1) increased training/simulations; (2) increased efficiency of hospital networks; (3) rapid centralization “Hub”; (4) increased data collection/analysis.
LA PREVENZIONE DEL TUMORE AL SENO: UNO STUDIO PRELIMINARE SU UN CAMPIONE DI DONNE ITALIANE
Authors: Manna Antonella , Piacentini Edda Oliva
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Breast cancer represents the most frequent neoplastic form among women in Italy and in many Western Countries, both in terms of new diagnoses and the number of oncological deaths. It is estimated that in 2018, about 52,800 new cases of female breast cancer were diagnosed in Italy. Objective: This study aims to investigate on breast cancer prevention, in a sample of Italian women. Materials and Methods: The random sample is composed of 100 women to whom the questionnaire was delivered, anonymous and self-compiled, after explaining the particular purpose of the questions and the general purpose of the study ensuring anonymity in the use of the data. The questionnaire, “Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale”, consists of 31 items of which: 3 for susceptibility, 6 for severity, 4 for perceived benefits, 8 for perceived barriers, and 10 for self-efficacy. Results: From the present study it emerged that less than half (46%) of women practice self-examination occasionally or monthly. Although a significant percentage of women reported high levels of perception of cancer severity, most of them reported uncertain levels of susceptibility. It also emerged that the causes that lead the woman not to perform self-examination are related to the inability to examine her own breasts, or the sense of inadequacy. Conclusions: From the analyzed data emerges the need to introduce educational programs to increase confidence and identify the obstacles that prevent Italian women from performing self-examination, carrying out a prior assessment of women’s knowledge about it and modifying any incorrect ideas.
EFFECT OF PHOTOTHERAPY ON SERUM CALCIUM LEVELS IN NEONATAL JAUNDICE IN FULL TERM NEONATES
Authors: Kumar Ashish
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The most prevalent anomalous physical finding during the first week of life is neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NNH). It is estimated that more than two thirds of newborn babies have acquired clinical jaundice. It was also discovered that in the unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of most neonates represents a common or exaggerated physiological syndrome. The physical immaturity of infants to handle increased production of bilirubin is referred to as Jaundice. This becomes potentially neurotoxic if severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is left untreated. One of the routine strategies for treating hyperbilirubinemia is known as phototherapy. However it is not a harmless interference. This can produce negative results, such as dehydration, temperature volatility, blood flow redistribution, genotoxicity, rashes on the skin, loose skin, stools, damage to retinas, hypocalcemia and bronze baby syndrome. One of the lesser known but which has a potential adverse effect of phototherapy is hypocalcemia. A total serum calcium concentration of < 7 mg / dl or ionised calcium concentration < 4mg / dl (< 1mol / L) is classified as neonatal hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia increases the permeability of cells to sodium ions and increases the excitability of cell membranes.

Material & Methods: 60 full term neonates were included in present cross sectional study who was admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Full term neonates who completed 37 weeks of gestation with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia who require phototherapy. Under the normal protocol, traditional phototherapy equipment containing four blue light fluorescent lamps with wavelengths of 410-470 nm was mounted at a distance of 25-35 cm from the skin surface of neonates with entirely covered eyes and genitals. At 15μW / cm2 /nm at the level of the infant's skin, the irradiance during phototherapy was assessed and maintained consistently.

Results: Among 60 neonates included in this study there were 27 (45%) male whereas 33 (55%) female neonates. In present study the mean levels of serum calcium before phototherapy was 9.21 with standard deviation of 0.83 while the serum calcium levels after phototherapy were 8.36 with standard deviation of 0.78. There was a statistically significant difference between serum mean calcium levels before and after phototherapy (p=0.001).

Conclusion: A major issue is phototherapy induced hypocalcemia. Before beginning and during phototherapy for neonatal jaundice and close monitoring of neonates for signs of hypocalcemia, careful calcium status calculation should be carried out.. After phototherapy, there is a substantial reduction in the amount of serum calcium, but the risk of hypocalcemia in stable full-term neonates is minimal.

Authors: Kumar Sanjeev
Published: October 2020

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired skin condition characterised by enlarging and becoming more numerous over time by white and depigmented patches. It is attributed to the absence and depletion of melanin in the epidermis of healthy melanocytes. The disease can be cosmetically disfigured and the skin is also more vulnerable to sunburns. It affects 0.1-2 percent of the world 's population, and its aetiology is uncertain regardless of gender and ethnicity.

Aim: Analysis of morphological dermascopic trends in cases of vitiligo and access to the operation of the disorder, prognosis and as a diagnostic method in the choice of modality of care.

Materials and Methods: In 200 diagnosed cases of vitiligo, which contains stable vitiligo, unstable vilitigo, guttate vitiligo and vitiligo treatment cases, white light dermascopy is used in imaging patterns.

Result: Trichrom, marginal hyperpigmentation, marginal reticular pigmentation, perifollicular hyperpigmentation in stable vitiligo and salt pepper pattern, starburst pattern in unstable vitiligo is seen on inspection with dermascopy, erythema, perifollicular pigmentation, reticular pigmentation seen in stable viiligo, comet tail pattern seen in Koebner phenomenon.

Conclusion: Bad prognosis was demonstrated by erythema, telangectasis, perifollicular pigmentation, reticular pigmentation patterns: marginal hyperpigmentation, perifollicular hyperpigmentation, leucotrichia, marginal reticular pigmentation, comet tail. Dermascopy is therefore used to track treatment activity and disease prognosis, and certain trends can also recommend adjusting the modality of treatment.

Keywords: Dermascopy, Stable vitiligo, Unstable vitiligo.
PREVALENCE, ASSOCIATED FACTORS AND ROLE OF VITAMIN D AND GLUTATHIONE REDUCTASE OF PRE-ECLAMPSIA IN PREGNANT WOMEN
Authors: Kukreja Simerpreet
Published: October 2020

Introduction: In maternal and neonatal cases, preeclampsia is a multi-organ, heterogeneous pregnancy condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Since preeclampsia is a progressive disease, in some cases, delivery is necessary to stop the progression to the benefit of the mother and foetus. However, the need for early delivery has adverse effects on significant neonatal outcomes that are not limited to the most premature babies. The results include oxidative stress in the disease and invoke the biochemical basis for antioxidant clinical trials to prevent and treat hypertension caused by pregnancy. In the management of preeclampsia, supplementation of antioxidants along with polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, may be useful. This describes vitamin Ds potential role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. However, the role of vitamin D supplementation and dosing is controversial in preventing preeclampsia.

Method: The study was carried out from March 2019 to April 2020 at Shalinitai Meghe Hospital and Research Centre using institutional-based cross-sectional study design among women whose age was greater than or equal to eighteen. Data were collected using a standardised and pretested questionnaire from 150 participants by face-to - face interview technique. Using Chemiluminiscent Immunoassay (CLIA), vitamin D estimation was performed. The behaviour of Glutathione Reductase was calculated according to the Goldberg et al 1983 procedure. To classify the factors associated with the development of preeclampsia, logistic regression analysis was used.

Result: With a mean age of 30.28, a total of 150 participants were enrolled in the study. Evaluation of vitamin D and glutathione levels The prevalence of preeclampsia among current pregnant women attending ANC at Shalinitai Meghe Hospital was 16 with a 95 % CI. The current preeclampsia was significantly correlated with predictive variables such as the age of the respondents, current multiple pregnancy, and history of diabetes mellitus.

Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that preeclampsia was present in a large proportion of women. For both urban and rural residents, health seeking actions towards pregnant women should be promoted, offering an opportunity to detect preeclampsia as early as possible and preventing the coming complication of preeclampsia. The role of antioxidants is controversial in the prevention of preeclampsia. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with preeclampsia in a major way. To document the role of vitamin D supplementation in the prevention of preeclampsia, further studies are required.

O Projeto Beth Bruno nasceu em Santarém, no Pará, em 2010, com o propósito de capacitar lideranças comunitárias, como cuidadores (terapeutas naturalistas) e agentes multiplicadores de saúde, para que pudessem cuidar de suas comunidades, utilizando como recursos as práticas integrativas e complementares. Desde então, este Projeto vem beneficiando uma população composta por pessoas de comunidades de baixa renda da periferia das cidades e moradores da zona rural, normalmente famílias que trabalham em locais distantes dos grandes centros. A proximidade da floresta, com sua força e presença marcantes, deu a essa população características próprias. Uma delas é o uso das plantas nas diferentes demandas do cotidiano: na alimentação, nos remédios naturais, na produção artesanal de utensílios domésticos e na criação de bijuterias. O meio ambiente, por sua vez, também desempenhou um papel importante na formação daquela sociedade e de seus costumes. O Projeto Beth Bruno contempla, hoje, comunidades de outras regiões do estado do Pará, e de outros estados como: Maranhão, Piauí e Roraima.
An Improved Water Strider Algorithm for Optimal Design of Skeletal Structures
Authors: Kaveh Ali , Ilchi Ghazaan Majid , Asadi Arash
Published: October 2020

Water Strider Algorithm (WSA) is a new metaheuristic method that is inspired by the life cycle of water striders. This study attempts to enhance the performance of the WSA in order to improve solution accuracy, reliability, and convergence speed. The new method, called improved water strider algorithm (IWSA), is tested in benchmark mathematical functions and some structural optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, the standard WSA is augmented by utilizing an opposition-based learning method for the initial population as well as a mutation technique borrowed from the genetic algorithm. By employing Generalized Space Transformation Search (GSTS) as an opposition-based learning method, more promising regions of the search space are explored; therefore, the precision of the results is enhanced. By adding a mutation to the WSA, the method is helped to escape from local optimums which is essential for engineering design problems as well as complex mathematical optimization problems. First, the viability of IWSA is demonstrated by optimizing benchmark mathematical functions, and then it is applied to three skeletal structures to investigate its efficiency in structural design problems. IWSA is compared to the standard WSA and some other state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms. The results show the competence and robustness of the IWSA as an optimization algorithm in mathematical functions as well as in the field of structural optimization.

Unilateral Papillitis as the Initial Presentation of Hemifacial Atrophy: Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Khan Akhlaque Hossain , Ahmed Nazmin , Raut Vijay Kumar
Published: October 2020

Papillitis is a vision threatening condition, characterized by inflammation of the optic disc which often mimicked the features of papilledema; hence these patients often referred to the Neurosurgeon to exclude any intracranial pathology. This entity is associated with a number of intracranial, as well as extracranial pathologies. Among them, Parry–Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy (PHA) possesses multiple ophthalmologic and neurologic manifestations.

Tieteen jälkeinen teknologia monoliittisen kulttuurin luojana
Authors: Raivola Reijo
Published: October 2020

Koulutuksen yhtenä määrittäjänä on vaikuttajien omaksuma yhteiskuntakuva. Yhteiskunnan sanotaan nyt siirtyneen jälkiteolliseen informaatioyhteiskunnan aikaan, jota kehittyneet tiedonvälitys- ja tuotantotekniikat hallitsevat. Uusi tekniikka on niin läpäisevää, että sen varassa muodostuu uusi teknologisen kulttuurin muoto, joka uhkaa alistaa tieteenkin ohjaukseensa. Tätä jakamatonta kulttuurikäsitystä vastaan on nousemassa kansojen ominaislaadusta ponnistava etnokulttuurinen ja luonnonympäristön rajat tunnustava ekokulttuurinen näkemys, joita kuitenkin on pidettävä eräänlaisina ideologiakriteereinä pikemminkin kuin todellisina vaihtoehtoina esim. kehitysmaille.

Published: October 2020

Marraskuussa 1987 pidettiin Joensuussa korkean poliittisen tason talouspoliittinen konferenssi Ihminen uudistuvassa työelämässä. Aikuiskoulutus nousi erääksi konferenssin keskeiseksi keskusteluteemaksi. Artikkelissa esitellään valmisteltujen puheiden poliittiset ja koulutuspoliittiset ydinajatukset ja analysoidaan niitä. Hallituspuolueiden ja työmarkkinaosapuolten puheenvuoroissa työ ja talous arvottuivat ihmistä ja koulutusta hallitseviksi ajattelun lähtökohdiksi ja perusarvoiksi. Ihmisarvon asettivat etusijalle vain opposition edustajat.
