Beyond Male Israeli Soldiers, Palestinian Women, Rape, and War
Authors: Madar Revital
Published: August 2023

Israeli denials and classification of documents, alongside scholarly work (Nitsán 2007; Wood 2006), have all contributed to the perception that aside from the 1948 war and its aftermath, rape and other forms of sexual violence are missing from Israel's military toolbox. A spatial intersectional analysis of Israeli state sexual violence against Palestinians finds that in the context of the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), the wartime rape paradigm is doing a disservice. It further silences Israeli state sexual violence against Palestinians and diverts our attention from the colonial nature of the Israeli control regime. These findings unearth (1) the risks of stripping rape of the specific context in which it materializes, (2) the importance of incorporating power structures that transgress the framework of conflict and war-related sexual violence and (3) the necessity of deciphering and attending to colonial and settler colonial- related sexual violence.
The Other Side of the Border
Authors: Ferreri Veronica
Published: August 2023

In the wake of the Syrian uprising in 2011, Syrian dissidents in Lebanon cultivated their revolutionary commitment with the support of Lebanese communities. This political solidarity morphed into humanitarian care toward wounded and displaced Syrians in response to the emergency created by the war. With the mutations of the war in Syria and the collapse of the revolution as a political project, these solidarities were reconfigured to tackle the everyday hardship of displacement. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Lebanon (2014–2019), the article retraces the manifold incarnations of revolutionary solidarity in Lebanon and their relation to the other side of the border. By moving away from hospitality, the article rethinks the Syrian displacement in Lebanon through the concept of solidarity and its spatial and temporal intricacies.
Family Matters in Conflict
Authors: Holst Birgitte Stampe
Published: August 2023

Through an ethnographic account of quotidian family activities like cooking or watching the news, this article investigates how authoritarian history and ongoing conflict in Syria play out in the everyday life of Syrians displaced to Lebanon and Turkey. It traces the day-to-day activities through which the value of the anti-authoritarian actions of some family members is recalibrated in friction with the social and material price the family has paid for such actions, the futures various family members imagine for themselves and the particular family history of adaptation to authoritarian rule. The article argues that unfolding these recalibrations among the displaced allows us to see how Syrians formulate the conflict (also) as a family matter. Investigating this family layer of the conflict in turn alerts us to the ways in which political contestation and collaboration in authoritarian contexts is navigated (also) through ethical propositions related to the family.

Authors: Aminova E. V. , Merezhko O. E.
Published: August 2023

This article presents the results of studies of the biochemical composition of raspberry varieties (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivated in the Orenburg region. The research was carried out on the collection plots of raspberries of the Orenburg branch of the Federal State Budgetary Research Center of Horticulture 2005-2021. The high content of soluble solids in summer raspberries, compared with the control variety Rannii Syurpriz (12.17-15.21 %), had the varieties Samarskaya Plotnaya, Juravlik, Solnishko and on average exceeded by 3.6-5.8 %, and in raspberries of the repair type of fruiting, the highest value of this indicator was noted in varieties Oranjevoe Chudo (10.7-13.0 %) and Arisha (11.4-12.8 %). The coefficient of variation is 11-16 %. On average, the sugar content in the fruits of raspberry varieties varied from 5.9 to 8.5 %, with the largest amount in the fruits of the varieties Rannii Syurpriz (K) (8.5 %), Juravlik (8.2 %) and Solnishko (8.1 %). These varieties had the most balanced taste due to the low acid content. The maximum content of titrated acid in fruits was 2.0 % in Samarskaya Plotnaya varieties and 2.1 % in Rubinovoe Ojerele varieties. Over many years of research, it has been revealed that the content of ascorbic acid in summer raspberries averaged 24.9 (Volnica) – 51.1 (Skromnica) mg/100 g, and in raspberries of the primocane raspberry of fruiting 40.0 (Jar-Ptica) – 45.5 (Gerakl) mg/100 g. A higher content of ascorbic acid in the fruits of summer raspberries, compared with the control variety Rannii Syurpriz (36.19-45.14 mg/100 g), were characterized by the varieties Skromnica (44.68-58.3 mg/100 g), Samarskaya Plotnaya (39.04-60.48 mg/100 g), Blestyaschaya (35.16-61.32 mg/100 g), Juravlik (33.37-56.90 mg/100 g). The highest content of ascorbic acid in the fruits of raspberries of the repair type of fruiting was found in the varieties Gerakl (41.3-49.6 mg/100 g) and Arisha (40.5-47.3 mg/100 g) in comparison with the control variety Jar-Ptica (35.3-44.7 mg/100 g). Th us, varieties have been selected from the genetic collection of raspberries according to a complex of biochemical characteristics for use in the breeding process: Jar-Ptica, Juravlik, Arisha.

Factors of steppification of the Middle lands of Buh landscape
Authors: Stefankov Leonid , Ataman Liudmyla
Published: August 2023

The problem of modern steppification of separate territories of the forest field of Ukraine is considered. The model region is Middle lands of Buh. The aim is to analyze the main factors contributing to the development of modern steppification of the Middle Lands of Buh landscape, to partially reveal the mechanism of their intra-regional action. To achieve the goal, the methods of analysis and synthesis, modeling, natural-anthropogenic compatibility, GIS technologies, materials of own field research during 2017-2021 were used. It is stated that the Middle Lands of Buh is a region of ancient (Paleolithic), versatile (since the Trypillia era) and active development of natural resources. This led to the gradual replacement of the natural forest-steppe landscape with an anthropogenic forest landscape. It is shown that the modern steppification of the Middle Lands of Buh is mainly due to two factors: global climate warming, which also affects regional changes in climatic conditions; continuous anthropogenization of the natural landscape of the Middle Lands of Buh . The first factor is analyzed in detail using materials for the 60-year period of observations of meteorological stations (the main Gaivoronska) of the southern part of the Middle Lands of Buh; the second factor is considered as a result of the replacement of the superior forest (72-75%) by modern (65-70%) field landscapes. It is stated that the steppification of the Middle Lands of Buh passes from southeast to northwest, gradually covers the entire territory, and can lead to the replacement of the modern forest landscape with a field landscape. This process is already clearly traced both in the development of individual geocomponents (climatic conditions, soils, flora and fauna) and in the landscape of the Middle Lands of Buh in general and requires further research.
Applications of GIS software for research of chanel process (on example of the r. Richka basin)
Authors: Kosteniuk Liudmyla
Published: August 2023

This article is devoted to the complex issue of the application of various types of geographic information systems (GIS) software for the study of channel processes on small mountain rivers.

The creation of appropriate models of basin systems based on cartographic data is currently a very relevant and at the same time complex issue in terms of programming, which should be given more attention in modern scientific research.

The use of modern software tools gives us the opportunity to supplement the existing data of hydrological information, through the application of the principle of the close relationship between the underlying surface and the active hydrological component (water flow), which is reflected in the functioning system of the river basin.

The use of geo-information technologies in hydrological studies allows both to detail individual sections of riverbeds for their further study and to deepen the analysis of channel processes, and vice versa to generalize information based on the data of individual points or sections of riverbeds into a complete basin system.

This publication presents an attempt to combine, supplement and generalize with the help of QGIS software, scientific studies of channel processes on the Richka River, to the detailed study of which the author has already devoted a number of her works.

The creation of a digital model of the basin and a GIS map will allow to confirm and deepen the previous scientific developments on this water object. The analysis of the 3D model can bring us closer to revealing paleogeographical conditions and reflecting their features on channel processes of the rivers of this basin within three geomorphological zones. And it is also better to investigate, and perhaps refute, some common theories about the origin and formation of the network of rivers in this Carpathian region.

Application of software of geographic information systems will allow to more deeply and comprehensively investigate this insufficiently covered issue. After all, as noted at the beginning of the publication: river flow is a product of the climate, and the shape of the riverbeds is a reflection of this interaction with the underlying surface. And therefore, a more detailed study of paleogeographical features through the clear vision of digital models will allow us to determine the changes in channel formation conditions on the rivers of the studied territory that occurred in the past.
PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATING DOUBLETS INTO UKRAINIAN (BASED ON GERMAN AND ENGLISH LEGAL TEXTS)
Authors: Tomniuk Liudmyla , Shuliar Anastasiia
Published: August 2023

The article discusses the challenges and strategies of translating doublets into Ukrainian based on German and English legal texts. A corpus-based approach is used to analyze legal texts in two languages to identify the most common types of doublets and determine the most effective ways to translate them into Ukrainian. The study shows that translating doublets in legal texts is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of the source and target languages, as well as the context in which the doublets are used. The results of the study demonstrate that there are several strategies that translators can use to translate doublets effectively. For example, using synonyms, paraphrasing, and omitting one of the components of a doublet pair. These strategies proved to be especially useful when translating doublets from the legal field, as translation in this field requires accuracy and clarity. The practical results of this study are important for translators working with legal texts in German, English and Ukrainian. The study provides valuable insights into the most effective strategies for translating doublets and emphasizes the importance of a thorough understanding of the context in which doublets are used. Moreover, the article has important theoretical importance for researchers in the fields of translation studies, terminology, general and comparative linguistics. The study of doublets on the example of legal texts helps to better understand the mechanisms of translation and the peculiarities of language. The results of the research can be used in further studies of the translation process, including the analysis of other language phenomena and contexts. In particular, it has been found that translating doublets is a complex process that requires a translator to have a deep knowledge of both languages and clear understanding of the context in which doublets are used. In general, the study shows that translation of doublets is an important part of the translation process and requires the translator to be able to follow effective strategies and identify ways to translate doublets.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STYLISTIC DEVICES IN THE GERMAN TRANSLATIONS OF THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTS
Authors: Bukreeva Lidiya , Didenko Nataliia
Published: August 2023

The article presents a comparative analysis of stylistic devices in the German translations of the "Books of Ecclesiastes", which is a text of the Old Testament, typical of biblical didactic and prophetic books, and whose purpose is to encourage people to think about the meaning of life. The book raises the issues of transience and futility of human existence especially acutely. The relevance of the study lies in the comparison of modern German translations of the book of Ecclesiastes with the aim of demonstrating translation trends and different approaches to the reproduction of artistic means in these translations. The research material consists of translations of the book of Ecclesiastes from different years, made by translators from the ancient Hebrew language into German. The article examines the stylistic means of the biblical text and their reproduction in modern translations, compares and comments on some problematic fragments of the book of Ecclesiastes, the translation of which, despite a large number of scientific works, still needs clarification. Particular attention is paid to fragments of the text, the interpretation of which has a double meaning. The research material allows analysing the diachronic trends in the translation of the book of Ecclesiastes and drawing conclusions about the possibility and purpose of reproduction by the translator’s content and means of artistic imagery in translations of different years. According to the conducted analysis, the authors came to the conclusion that, despite centuries of discussion, an attempt to make a single universal translation of the book of Ecclesiastes is impossible. From a methodological point of view, we should emphasize that in recent years there has been a negative trend toward a recipient-oriented understanding of the text, which, in turn, pushes the translator to omit stylistic devices and form a translation of the holy book that is more understandable for today, which unfortunately leads to the loss of artistic stylistics of the archaic poetic text.
PERSUASIVENESS IN TED TALKS SPEECHES ON THE ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH
Authors: Yakymchuk Vira
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to analyzing persuasive propositions used by TED Talks speakers in speeches related to mental health in order to effectively influence and draw the audience's attention to essential aspects of this topic. The analysis of the phenomenon of persuasiveness is based on three propositions of persuasive speech: the proposition of facts, values, and policy. Since the founding of TED Talks, the number of speeches on various topics has increased, as has the popularity of this online platform. Every day, millions of people from all over the world turn to the TED platform to learn about innovation, social problems, and their potential solutions. Mental health is an integral part of modern society, which is why this research is relevant. The topicality is also justified by the growing scientific interest in the concept of persuasion and the means of implementing verbal influence on the audience. The aim of the article is to analyze verbal means of implementing persuasive propositions in TED Talks speeches to influence the audience on the importance of mental health. The object of the research is persuasive propositions in TED Talks speeches on mental health. The subject of the research is verbal means of implementing persuasive propositions in the discursive space of TED Talks speeches. The research methods used include content analysis, descriptive method sociolinguistic analysis, and cognitive analysis. The research material was selected by the method of a complete sample from the transcripts of speeches by TED Talks speakers on mental health, namely from the playlist titled "The struggle of mental health".

On the basis of analysis of the speeches, it was proven that most frequently speakers resort to the proposition of value. This is evident in their appeal to the audience's personal values, such as the desire to be happy, healthy and successful, in order to convince them of the importance of paying attention to the issue of mental health. TED Talks can be a useful tool for destigmatizing mental illness and spreading the word about the availability of treatment and support.
PECULIARITIES OF THE REPRODUCTION OF IDIOMS IN MULTIPLE UKRAINIAN TRANSLATIONS
Authors: Kotenko Mariana
Published: August 2023

The purpose of scientific research is to investigate the appropriateness of using translation transformations for the adequate reproduction of idioms in multiple Ukrainian translations of the same literary work in order to compare and identify isomorphic and allomorphic features in the compared Ukrainian translations by M. Rudnytsky, D. Radienko and O. Andriyash. Since idioms present certain difficulties in reproducing their structure, semantics and functioning in a literary discourse, a number of Ukrainian translators used adequate translation techniques differently in order to preserve the original style of the novel under analysis. Despite numerous differences in Ukrainian translations, each of the translators tried to convey the peculiarities of the use of idioms for giving a Ukrainian reader a vivid description of literary characters, their actions, feelings, depicting events and phenomena by means of selecting accurate idiomatic expressions.

The methodological basis of the study were methods of analysis and comparison which allowed us to select and find similarities and differences in depicting the author’s individual style, to compare systems of social stereotypes of that era and its reproduction in multiple Ukrainian translations. The novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ by the British writer Emily Brontë was chosen for analysis not by chance, because its translation was done by translators at different times from the moment of writing the original, so one of the research methods was to compare the selected translation strategies, techniques and methods used for revealing the meanings of idioms to a Ukrainian reader.

The analysis show that Ukrainian translators in the process of translating idioms often resorted to the following basic translation strategies: paraphrasing, choosing the adequate Ukrainian analogues with similar meanings and forms, literal translation, the complete omission of idioms in the translation or revealing the idiomatic meanings in other ways.

The analysis of the idioms selected from Emily Bronte's novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ showed that choosing an adequate translation strategy required the considerable knowledge of idioms, their structural and semantic peculiarities, linguistic erudition and translation skills. The study of idioms with a color component can serve as a prospect for further research.

Authors: Hnatkovska Olena , Sapozhnyk Iryna , Surodeikina Tetiana
Published: August 2023

The given article aims at analyzing etymological peculiarities of phraseological units with a zoocomponent in the English language. The following methods of research have been employed in the process of our investigation: general scientific such as analysis of scientific sources and systematization; the method of etymological analysis for establishing the origin of the phraseological units under study and the quantitative method to summarize the received data. Zoonyms are characterized by a wide-spread nature and are actively used in English to reinforce the human image, situations, life experience, and their main features of character. The most traditional principle of phraseological units classification is based on their origin, the latter is regarded as a peculiar sphere of human activity or a natural phenomenon. These are the expressions typical for the representatives of various jobs, or connected to agriculture, daily routine, fauna, sports, etc. There also exist borrowings from the Bible or the works by Shakespeare, or other famous authors.

Having analyzed the origin of 1000 English phraseological units with a zoocomponent, we found out that English proper idioms are dominant and comprise 51% of all the material under study. 17% belong to the aphorisms of famous people, mostly by W. Shakespeare and G. Chaucer. Classical origin from Ancient Greek or Roman mythology have 14% of the idioms under analysis. The job sphere represents another source of their origin including only 9% of phraseological units. The ones with Biblical origin are quite few in number (only 6%). Another 3% have a vague origin.
LINGUOCREATIVE POTENTIAL OF CONVERSION IN ENGLISH
Authors: Kiyko Svitlana , Rubanets Tetiana
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on the linguocreative potential of conversion in English on the basis of neologisms. Neologisms are newly created words or phrases that are not yet commonly used or recognized by the general public. Neologisms can be introduced into language for a variety of reasons, such as to express new concepts or ideas, to describe new technologies or phenomena, or to provide more precise language for a particular field or community. The linguocreative potential of conversion lies in its ability to create neologisms and expand the vocabulary of a language. By converting a word from one part of speech to another, speakers can express new shades of meaning or add versatility to their language use.

In ordert to study the linguo-creative potential of conversion in English, we identified 1080 examples from the dictionaries of neologisms "The Facts on File Dictionary of New Words" (1985), "The Morrow Book of New Words: 8500 Terms Not Yet in Standard Dictionaries" (1982), in which neologisms-conversives of 1950-1970 are presented, and also The Oxford Dictionary of New Words: A popular guide to words in the news (2010) and Webster's New World Dictionary of American English (2016), which cite neologisms-conversives of the beginning of the XXI century. All examples are analyzed taking into account the socio-economic preconditions of their appearance, the peculiarities of the use of neologisms-conversives as a reflection of the linguistic picture of the human world are described, quantitative characteristics of the spread of neologisms-conversives in different time periods are established.

Published: August 2023

The present article aims at analyzing stylistic features of the Internet discourse on the material of a microblog by a famous world politician Joe Biden in his official Twitter account. The subject of our research is various stylistic devices by which the transfer of the author's emotional state to his readers and his attitude towards the major world events is formed. A range of scientific methods have been employed to classify the means of expression, namely: descriptive and comparative methods as well as the method of stylistic and discourse analysis. To achieve this goal, the peculiarities of the functioning of stylistic devices have been considered. The frequency of using these tools in the Internet discourse under study has also been studied. In general, Joe Biden’s tweets are characterized by highlighting the fast progress of his administration in various spheres of life, the use of both colloquial and bookish vocabulary, and scarcity of law and political terms. The tweets under analysis contain numerous lexical stylistic devices, among which the most frequently used appeared to be metaphor, metonymy and epithet. Moreover, the American president employs plenty of syntactic stylistic devices such as rhetorical questions, ellipsis, anaphora, stylistic repetition and gradation. Antithesis, epiphora and anadiplosis are few in occurrence. Also, this microblog can be characterized by the use of such phonetic stylistic devices as alliteration of consonant sounds /r/, /k/, /s/ and /m/ as well as assonance of vowel sounds /æ/ and /e/. Thus, Joe Biden’s microblog is rich in various stylistic devices.
Key words: the Internet discourse, microblog, Twitter, Joe Biden, stylistic devices.
USAGE OF ANTHROPONYMS IN MODERN GERMAN AND UKRAINIAN MEDIA DISCOURSES
Authors: Kiyko Yuriy
Published: August 2023

The article is dedicated to establishing the peculiarities of using anthroponyms in modern German and Ukrainian political media discourses. The study materials were modern online media news from Germany and Ukraine during January-March 2023.

Onyms in general and anthroponyms in particular occupy a central place in reference in the information flow. Proper names are undoubtedly an essential component of media discourse, as any complete message presupposes the presence of referents that are identified through anthroponyms, toponyms, or other types of onyms.

When referring to anthroponyms in German and Ukrainian media practices, a similar set of collocations with anthroponyms can be observed: from maximal identification of the referent with attributive expressions to the use of traditional contextual synonyms. Nevertheless, certain features of reference to onyms in the analyzed political media texts can be observed. In German media linguistic culture, the use of elaborate anthroponyms is typical, where party affiliation, age, and other information can be indicated, which is obviously due to the desire for comprehensive identification of the actors. In Ukrainian media practice, there is a tendency towards shorter identification of anthroponyms

In modern German and Ukrainian media texts, we observe the following principle of using anthroponyms: the headline provides minimal identification for actors, the opening provides maximum identification of the anthroponym, and in the text itself, reference to the anthroponym is made through the surname or other reference markers.
PHONOSEMANTIC FEATURES OF FEMINIST TEXTS MODERN GERMAN PROSE
Authors: Naydesh Olha , Rykhlo Valeriya
Published: August 2023

The article investigates the phonosemantic features of D. Krien's feminist novel "Die Liebe im Ernstfall" in order to establish the symbolic meanings of the initial consonant phonemes encountered in this text. We analysed the theoretical and methodological basis of contemporary German prose and

highlighted the typical labelled features of the feminist literature genre (female authors, female protagonists, subtle authorial humour, hard women's fates, struggle for equal rights, fluidity, etc.) and compared them with the text under study. Based on the opinions of expert critics, the plot, idea, purpose of the novel, and our own reading experience, we argue that D. Krien's novel Die Liebe im Ernstfall meets all the features of a women's novel and contains five separate chapters dedicated to each individual heroine and her difficult life path. D. Krien presents the readers with a veiled problem of women's relationships in society and their relations with men, and also points out the inequality of rights in the modern world. Therefore, the paper investigates the functioning of phonemes in the feminist text Die Liebe im Ernstfall by means of a continuous sample and uses the descriptive method and component-statistical methods, namely the chi-square method and the coefficient of mutual conjugation, to establish the symbolic meanings of the initial phoneme combinations. We processed 5056 units of phonemic vocabulary and published the results of the most frequently used words. We have practically established that the most frequently used vocabulary in the novel belongs to the phoneme systems ∫t-, ∫p-,kl-, kr-, gr-, pr-, tr-, ∫r-, and we have also highlighted adjectives of negative perception, colour adjectives, abstract nouns and nouns of negative meaning. In the course of the study of the novel, we found that the modern feminist text by D. Krien "Die Liebe im Ernstfall" is characterised by the minor tone of the phonemic vocabulary used, which contains the leading phoneme [∫] and [r] in the second or third position and a "negative" emotional impact on the reader, the reliability of the results obtained was confirmed by the statistically significant chi-square criterion and the coefficient of mutual conjugation.

Published: August 2023

Breast cancer is the main cause of death in women. The prevalence of cancer in West Java is still relatively high. In Bekasi City, there has been an increase in the presentation of breast cancer in women aged 30-50 years from 77 people (1.85%) in 2017 to 91 people (4.18%) in 2018. This is due to a lack of knowledge and awareness of doing Breast Self-Examination (BSE) to prevent breast cancer. The research objective was to find out the relationship between information exposure and education level on BSE knowledge in WUS at the Endang Sundari Midwife Independent Practice Center in Bekasi 2022. This research used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional design, a sample size of 123 respondents. The sample used used the inclusion criteria, namely not being pregnant or breastfeeding, being able to read and write as well as the exclusion criteria of having breast cancer experience. The questionnaire used has been tested for validity and reliability. Using bivariate analysis with chi square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between information exposure (p-value 0.000 0.05) and level of education (p-value 0.000 0.05) with knowledge of women of childbearing age about BSE. This exposure to information and high education can increase BSE knowledge in women of childbearing age.
Business Owner’s Divorce and Equitable Division: Including a Review on the Divisibility of Non-marital Asset
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Family Law, Lee Dongjin
Published: August 2023

The equitable division of property in the events of divorces of business owners has attracted much attention from the public as it has potential to affect corporate governance. In particular, if a succession of business ownership is involved and the business owner's share in the corporation was acquired by gift or inheritance, the issue whether the share remains non-marital asset and therefore not subject to equitable division procedure arises. In principle, no reason exists for the issue of the divisibility of non-marital asset to be resolved differently in the case of business owner's divorce. The division of non-marital asset should remain an exception. There are, however, good reasons for the Supreme Court case and family court practice as well to identify non-marital asset as the object of equitable division where the marriage has been maintained for a long period. In particular, it should be considered that the substance of the business behind the business owner's share or equity has constantly changed during the marriage, and that the business owner makes a personal contribution to these changes or rather value increase. Just as business income in a sole proprietorship, even if it is based on non-marital property, is undoubtedly subject to equitable division, the increase in the value of the share or equity to a corporation should also be subject to equitable division, even though the share has been acquired by gift or inheritance. In this case, of course, the outstanding contribution of the business owner can also be considered in determining the division ratio. Undoubtedly, investors and other stake-holders can be interested in avoiding or reducing the possible affect of business owner’s divorce upon the corporate governance. It is the role of the prenuptial agreement in Korean as well as many other legal systems, however, to meet these needs. Even in the absence of a prenuptial agreement, the family court should try to minimize the affect of equitable division on corporate governance especially when determining the way to allocate divisible assets.

The debate on the optimal system for femoral alignment is now largely resolved, but there is still controversy about whether intramedullary or extramedullary systems are better for the tibial side.
Objecives :  is to determine whether intramedullary or extramedullary tibial alignment guide is better for accurate sagital tibial prosthesis alignment in total knee replacement arthroplasty.
Patients and methods: Of 65 patients recruited, only 48 patients (55 knees) were met the inclusion criteria of this study (32 female and 16 male) with an average age of 62.2 years ranging from 57 to 70 years who had attended the outpatient clinic in medical city-orthopedic and trauma consultation unit and private work, during the period from October 2010 till March 2012. All patients were diagnosed to have severe osteoarthritis of their knees and we performed total knee replacement arthroplasty for them. Patients were divided into two groups, group A, were 22 patients (25 knees) in which we used intramedullary alignment guide for the preparation of proximal tibia, and group B, were 26 patients (30 knees) in which we used extramedullary alignment guide for the preparation of the proximal tibia. Three months postoperatively, a standing long leg proper lateral plain X-ray (digital software) was taken and the sagital tibial slope was measured for each case.
Results: Accurate alignment of sagital posterior slope of tibial prosthesis was found in 80% (20 out of 25 knees) in group A, and in 43.3% (13 out of 30 knees) in group B.By using Student t test, the P value was less than 0.001 which was very significant.
Conclusion: we concluded that the intramedullary tibial alignment guide is statistically more accurate than extramedullary tibial alignment guide, in the sagital positioning of the tibial component.

Authors: Thijeel Rabab F.
Published: August 2023

Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most important metabolic causes for mental retardation in children, in which early diagnosis would successfully prevent mental retardation, yet, there are some other serious metabolic diseases that share the same mode of presentation and some of the phenotypic manifestations also.Methods: During the period from August 2009 to August 2011, 63 cases were referred to the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital (CWTH) with clinical features  of PKU,  all were enrolled in this study, few blood drops on a special filter paper were taken from each patient and sent to a specialized metabolic laboratory in Saint Joseph University \Beirut, using tandem mass spectrophotometry (MS/MS). The results were received through internet after being analyzed and interpreted.Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PKU and other inborn errors of metabolism among sick children, presenting with clinical features suggestive of PKU, what are the diseases that share same clinical presentation of PKU, and make a proper early diagnosis and management when possible.
Results: out of the 63 cases, only 28(44.4%) came positive with different diseases, only 7(11.1%) were cases of PKU. The results also showed some other Inborn Errors of Metaboilsm(IEM): homocystinuria(HCY)or methionine adenosyltransferase(MAT) 7(11.1%),Methylmalonic academia (MMA)4(6.3%), maple serum urine disease (MSUD) in 3 cases(4.7%).The consanguinity was positive in 41 cases (65%). Positive family history was documented in 23(36.5%).All PKU cases had the background of consanguineous marriages (100%).
Conclusions: PKU is one of the most important metabolic cause for mental retardation in our study, but some other serious metabolic defects like homocystinuria(HCY) or MAT, organic acidemias, maple syrup urine  disease(MSUD) also causes mental retardation and share some of the phenotypic manifestations of PKU. Many families had positive history of affected siblings,especially those with consanguineous marriages.

Background: The population composition in all countries is changing very rapidly, with the result that there will now be Increasing numbers of elderly in all communities and in all countries of the world .Age-related changes in body habits, and disease and medication-related interactions can affect the nutritional requirements of elderly persons. This can further compounded by difficulties that older persons experience in accessing grocery stores and in cooking healthy food   Many older persons relay on the convenience of buying processed foods or ordering  fast food that can contribute to both obesity and deficiencies in essential nutritional requirements . The diagnosis of nutritional deficiency states in elderly people is made more difficult by the usual symptoms and signs being masked by diseases.                                                                                 
Objectives: To assess  the dietary and food intake in a sample of elderly subjects.
Patients and methods: A random sample of 184 elderly persons were included in the study  58.2% males and 41.7% females selected  randomly from a list of public health centers in urban areas of Baghdad city , it was carried out during the period between the first of March and the end of               August 2005.                                                                         
Results: Highest proportion of the studied males and females aged 65-74years, the total number of males and females in this age group constitute (65.8%) of the studied sample. The highest frequency of elderly subjects with inadequate dietary intake was observed in vitamin B12 (59.2%) .The frequency of inadequate dietary intake was higher among elderly females than that in males for energy 28.6%, iron 18.2%,vitamin C 54.5%,  vitamin  B1262.3%, while it was higher among elderly males for protein 13.1%. It was found that high proportion of the studied sample had mean food daily intake less than  the recommended mean  values for milk 98.4% , vegetables 97.3%  , fruits 96.7% , fish and sea food 95.1%  . Furthermore 70.7%,   of the studied  elderly subjects had mean food daily intake less than  the recommended mean values of meat/poultry, legumes 59.3%  , egg and products  57.6%  respectively ,  while 88% of them had high  recommended mean food daily intake of cereals. The mean ± SD of BMI of elderly subjects of present study was 27.6 ± 4.8 .                                                                                                
Conclusion: The mean food daily intake of milk , meat/poultry/fish ,vegetables and fruits are deficient in a high proportion of the studied elderly subjects .Acceptable percentage of the studied sample had high mean food daily intake of cereals .The frequency of inadequate dietary intake was higher for energy , iron ,vitamin c, vitamin b12 in the study sample .

Objective: To throw a light on training for life skills which in turn leads to promotion of adolescents physical and mental health.
Methods: A total of 120 adolescents participated in the study (50 of them were trained for life skills and the others act as control group) for the period April 2010 to Sept. 2011. Their age was 19 ± 2.4 years with male to female ratio of 1.4:1. The program consisted of several subjects concern with physical and mental health. Positive outcomes were determined. Scores of training variables presented in mean ± SD. Student's t test was used to examine the difference in variables between trained and untrained adolescents.
Results: Scores of positive outcomes (good personal hygiene, getting enough sleep, healthy weight, got exercise, social competence (adolescent shows respect, tries to resolve conflicts and concern about self-esteem), condemnation of abuse, harassment, bullying and rape, aware about sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), intimate relationship, awareness to teen pregnancy or abortion and family planning, concern with family life (arranged marriages) and study skills (motivation, goal setting, time management, positive study attitude and empowering concentration)  were significantly higher in trained than in untrained adolescents (p= 0.023, 0.025, 0.001, 0.04, 0.025, 0.001 and 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion:  Life skills could be applied for promotion in mental health as well as physical health.
India and Western Indian Ocean Regionalism

With the world system moving from a bipolar to a multipolar structure, and the world agenda shifting from narrow high-politics to lowpolitics, there is a need to critically examine the impact of emerging countries on regionalism and the regional systems of the Global South. Uplifted by its economic growth, India is exerting to play a more active role beyond its immediate neighbourhood by developing critical partnerships with regional and extra-regional players. As a result of India’s expanding ties with the Vanilla Island countries, India has recently been accepted as an observer in the Indian Ocean Commission. While France has traditionally dominated this region due to its shared history, China has also been increasingly asserting its position here. Against the backdrop of Chinese presence continuing to shore up as well as the mounting tension between the USA and Iran over the Mozambique Channel, the competition between these powers could spill over into the region and impact the peace, stability, and ongoing constructive cooperation efforts. This essay takes India as a case study, and attempts to determine the impact of India’s assertive policies in the region. By examining the theoretical constructs of regionalism, the paper examines the impact of India’s increasing assertiveness in the region, and its impact on WIO regionalism at a theoretical as well as empirical level.
