Authors: Bansal Nahush R , Paul Birinder S , Paul Gunchan , Singh Gagandeep
Published: January 2022

Background:

Autonomic dysfunction can precede the onset of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease and are very disabling, but often overlooked.

Objective:

This study was done to assess the presence of autonomic symptoms in PD; evaluate any gender differences and association of autonomic dysfunction with fatigue and quality of life.

Methods:

Demographic profile and disease characteristics of PD patients were assessed. Autonomic symptoms were evaluated by SCOPA-AUT, fatigue by FSS, and QOL with PDQ-39 in patient's vernacular language. Patients with SCOPA-AUT score ≥9 were considered as having autonomic impairment. Gender variation in the involvement of different domains were analyzed along with the risk factors for autonomic dysfunction.

Results:

Among 94 patients, 59 (63%) had autonomic dysfunction. All SCOPA domains showed significant impairment in PD. Nocturia (69.14%) and constipation (52.12%) constituted most frequent symptoms in our cohort. Mean urinary (7.89 vs. 6.05) and sexual (1.47 vs. 0.42) domain scores were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in males while cardiovascular dysfunction (0.81 vs. 1.64) was predominant in females. Patients with autonomic dysfunction had longer duration of disease (P = 0.033), severe disease (P = 0.0001) with higher UPDRS (P = 0.001). Autonomic symptoms correlated significantly (P < 0.0001) with Fatigue (r = 0.60) also. Patients with autonomic dysfunction had poor QOL (r = 0.67) and mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, cognition, communication, and bodily-discomfort dimensions were worst affected (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

There was a significant variation of autonomic symptoms with gender. Disease severity and duration were significant risk factors for autonomic dysfunction. Also there was a strong co-relation of fatigue and poor QOL with autonomic dysfunction.
Troponin Levels in COVID-19 Patients and its Correlation with the Severity of Disease and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Shukla Vaibhav , Munagekar Advait
Published: January 2022

Introduction:

The epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2) has become a major health problem globally. The most common cardiac manifestation of COVID-19 infection is acute cardiac injury observed in patients even without any prior cardiac comorbidities. It is seen that several patients positive for COVID-19 showed increased concentrations of cardiac troponin, which lead to confusion in clinical interpretation. Our study was performed to observe the correlation between elevated troponin levels with clinical outcomes and the severity of COVID-19 disease.

Aim:

To observe the correlation between elevated troponin levels with clinical outcomes and severity of COVID-19 disease.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study among 100 reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction positive COVID-19 patients with measurement of troponin-I on the 1st and 5th days of admission.

Results:

The greatest number of deaths were reported in patients with troponin-I ≥ 0.39 ng/ml. Higher Troponin levels were seen in the elderly population. Higher Troponin Levels were also seen in severe diseases.

Conclusion:

The present study showed that higher troponin levels were associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients and higher values were observed with severe disease.

Authors: Babu Y. R. Manjunatha , Uthkarsh Pallavi Sarji , A Gangaboraiah
Published: January 2022

Introduction:

Children are prone to road traffic injuries (RTIs) while commuting to school as pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and occupants of vehicles. Understanding these injuries is crucial for planning injury prevention programs. There is not much data available regarding RTIs among schoolchildren during commute to schools in the urban and rural areas of South India, and the current study is an attempt to explore the burden of RTIs among schoolchildren.

Objectives:

The aim of the study was (1) to assess the magnitude of RTIs among rural and urban school children while commuting to schools and (2) to determine factors affecting RTIs among school children.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in urban and rural districts of a state in South India, a pretested, semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed using SPSS version 20.

Results:

Magnitude of RTIs reported was similar in urban and rural districts. Children going to Government (public schools) reported more compared to the ones going to private schools. Male children and those accompanying other schoolchildren during commute to schools reported more injuries.

Conclusion:

Nearly one-fourth of the schoolchildren from Bangalore urban and rural districts reported RTIs during the past 12 months.

Authors: Kumarguru B N , Santhipriya G , Kumar S Kranthi , Kumar R Ramesh , Ramaswamy A S , Janakiraman P
Published: January 2022

Background:

Space occupying lesions (SOLs) of central nervous system (CNS) constitutes important cause of neurological morbidity and mortality. Squash cytology is technically a simple and rapid intraoperative diagnostic tool. Radiology is supportive of histopathological diagnosis.

Objectives:

To enumerate the histopathological patterns of various central nervous system (CNS) lesions, to correlate cytopathological diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis, and to correlate radiological diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:

It was a retrospective study of CNS lesion cases from January 2015 to August 2018. Cytological-histopathological concordance and radiological-histopathological concordance were calculated. Chi-square test was the statistical tool used for statistical analysis.

Results:

Histopathological diagnosis of 50 cases included neoplastic lesions (42 cases [84%]) and non-neoplastic lesions (8 cases [16%]). Correct diagnosis was achieved by squash cytology in 36 cases (72%) and radiological diagnosis in 25 cases (50%) by complete concordance. However, diagnostic accuracy of squash and radiology improved considerably by 90% and 76%, respectively, after applying partial concordance criteria. For the detection of neoplastic lesions, squash cytology had 98% and radiology had 80% diagnostic efficacy.

Conclusion:

Preoperative radiological investigation and intraoperative squash smear cytology are complementary to each other. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the management of patients.
Evaluation of hTERT Gene Expression and Chromosome 7 Copy Number Variation in Anal Squamous Intra-Epithelial Lesions
Authors: Arora Tanvi , Wadhwa Neelam , Aggarwal Divya , Pandhi Deepika , Diwaker Preeti , Arora Vinod K.
Published: January 2022

Background:

Akin to cervical squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), anal squamous intra-epithelial lesion (a-SIL) is attributed to persistent infection with high-risk human papilloma virus infection. Amplification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene and aneuploidy are known to correlate with CIN evolution. It is plausible that the underlying genetic events in a-SIL are similar. We conducted this cross-sectional analytical study with the objective of determining expression of hTERT gene expression and chromosome 7, as marker of cell ploidy in a-SIL.

Methods:

Conventional anal cytology was performed in 86 adult consenting subjects with history of receptive anal intercourse (RAI) and 4 controls without history of RAI. Cases with a-SIL and controls were subjected to fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) to evaluate hTERT gene and chromosome 7 expression, as marker of cell ploidy. Results were expressed as number of abnormal nuclei (≥3 respective signals), maximum degree of amplification, mean signals/nucleus and proportion of cases showing abnormal nuclei.

Results:

Twenty cases showed a-SIL; with 15 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), 3 low grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (LSIL) and 2 cases of high-risk cytology. Expression of both hTERT gene and chromosome 7 increased from controls to ASCUS to LSIL with concomitant increase in proportion of cases having abnormal hTERT gene and chromosome 7 expression.

Conclusions:

Positive association of hTERT gene with a-SIL suggests its possible role in evolution of anal squamous abnormalities. Increase in chromosome 7 also correlated positively with a-SIL. These findings corroborate the similarities between squamous carcinogenesis in CIN and a-SIL.

Risk Factors of Septic Metastatic Infection among Patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess in Singapore: A Case–Control Study
Authors: Mukherjee Shilpa , Archuleta Sophia , Pang Junxiong
Published: January 2022

Metastatic infection resulting from Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) results in high mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with metastatic infection among patients with KPLA in Singapore. A retrospective case–control analysis among adult patients admitted to the National University Hospital with KPLA between 2013 and 2017 was conducted. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was conducted. Of the 116 KPLA patients, 38.8% had pulmonary metastatic infection. Length of hospital stay (P = 0.001) and intensive care unit admissions (P = 0.044) were significantly longer and greater, respectively, among the patients with metastatic infection. Sepsis-induced hypotension (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.88; 95% CI, 1.1–21.69), breathlessness (AOR, 5.10; 95% CI, 1.42–18.27), and abscess size (AOR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01–1.03) were associated independently with septic metastatic infection. Patients with KPLA who had breathlessness and larger abscess size are at a greater risk of septic metastatic infection.
Influences on farmer decision-making behaviour considering a payment for ecosystem services scheme: farmers’ and scheme facilitators’ perceptions.
Authors:   , Hobbs Stacey
Published: January 2022

Agricultural diffuse pollution from metaldehyde (the most common active ingredient used in slug pellets) is a major concern in the UK as its rivers have frequently recorded levels of the pesticide unsafe for potable consumption. Payments for ecosystem services (PES) has gained popularity as a mechanism to generate improved environmental behaviours from farmers by offering them an incentive to manage their land to provide specific environmental benefits. To improve water quality at the point of extraction, Thames Water has used the PES approach to tackle agricultural diffuse pollution from metaldehyde. While there is a wealth of knowledge in the theoretical and experimental fields of PES, few empirical studies have examined how PES schemes encourage and sustain improved behaviours. To address this gap, this study investigated the influences on farmer decision-making behaviour considering their participation in Thames Water’s PES scheme in four catchments. Data collection comprised semi-structured interviews with 22 farmers and 8 project partner advisors (scheme facilitators) to gain insight into their perceptions of Thames Water’s PES scheme concerning: the drivers and barriers for farmer participation; strategies used by the project partner advisors to support farmers’ participation and behaviour change; and the success and sustainability of the scheme in changing farmers’ behaviours and attitudes towards metaldehyde. The results concluded farmers’ motivations for scheme enrolment were mainly dominated by non-economic motivations, with the provision of information, environmental enhancement and moral obligation particularly influential. Project partner advisors emphasised the need for a holistic approach towards improving water quality through their provision of advice to farmers and, in particular, providing tailored advice to each farmer. Crucially, behavioural and attitudinal changes in farmers’ metaldehyde use were observed, with farmers improving their land management practices due to a better understanding of the environmental impacts of metaldehyde and more sustainable methods for slug management. In conclusion, this study identifies approaches that are successful for influencing and supporting farmer decision-making behaviour. This will help inform the development of existing and future PES schemes as mechanisms for encouraging farmers’ voluntary behaviour change. It will also assist those responsible for the facilitation of PES schemes to increase farmer engagement and generate advice that better resonates with farmers to achieve environmental goals.
Progressive Islamic Education: Bridging the Gap of Islam, Indonesianness, and Modernity
Authors: Suyatno Suyatno , Wantini Wantini , Sukiman Sukiman , Rachmawati Yulia
Published: January 2022

Progressive Islamic education is a model developed by Muhammadiyah, Indonesia’s largest modern Islamic organization. This model combines secular sciences from the modern education system with religious ones from Islamic teachings to reduce the gap between Islamic values, Indonesianess, and modernity, often a source of tension. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate Progressive Islamic education values and consider how to bridge the gap between Islam, Indonesianess, and modernity. An interpretive phenomenological approach was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with ten Muhammadiyah elementary and middle school teachers. The results showed that participants believe Progressive Islamic education comprises dynamic values, monotheism values, grace for the universe values, balance values, nationalism values, and justice values. These six values imply that the model can be framed harmoniously between Islam, Indonesianess, and modernity and thus bridge the gap between these three aspects. Therefore, this research contributes to new potentials in developing an educational model that creates a modern generation of Indonesian Muslims.

Authors: Chouhan Shrutika , Rupendra Pratap Singh Hada
Published: January 2022

The recommendation of product or service based on application needs different product attributes and user requirements to be analyzed. But if both the kinds of information are unavailable then such kind of issue in the recommendation system is known as the clod start problem.[1] In this presented work, the effort is made in order to understand and resolve the issue of recommendation system. Thus, a four phase recommendation system is introduced in this work. In first phase, the web usage data is preprocessed which is used for further recommendations of products. In next phase, the frequent pattern based recommendation is performed. In third phase, the recommendation is made on the basis of user current search (user click streams) and similar user behaviors available in web access logs. Additionally, the final recommendation is made on the basis of filtering the results obtained in third phase and the cost, brand and social review of the product or service. The implementation of the system is performed on JAVA technology and the results in terms of accuracy, error rate is computed. The results show the prediction is accurate and required less computational resources. Thus, in recommendation system design the model is acceptable for use and future extension of work for solving the issue of cold start problem.

Published: January 2022

Background: Cervical cancer remains a major public health challenge in low and middle-income countries including India. However, if detected early, it is preventable and curable. Objective: The present study aimed to ascertain the sociodemographic and clinical profile of cervical cancer patients visiting a tertiary cancer center. Methodology: A retrospective study was carried out at the Delhi State Cancer Institute, New Delhi. The study population included 136 women who were diagnosed with cervical cancer. A pretested data extraction sheet was used as the study tool for collecting information from the inpatient records. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were performed and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: A total of 136 cervical cancer patients with mean age of 46 ± 9.85 and mean BMI of 23.78 ± 5.03, were studied retrospectively. About 36.8% of patients were aged between 40-49 years and 57.4% were illiterate. While 40.4% of the patients belonged to FIGO stage II, 27.2% had FIGO stage III cancer. Majority (63.2%) of patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), while the rest were adenocarcinoma (25%) and adenosquamous (11.8%). Clinical stage of cancer was found to be significantly associated with educational status (p=0.03) and dietary practices (p=.007). Conclusion: Our study found higher percentage of women with stage II and III cervical lesions and reaffirms the importance of education and healthy diet in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. Therefore, it is suggested that accelerated population awareness and screening, incorporating digital innovations including vaccination programs are mandatory.

In an optimal and good regional economy, management of BUMD is very important. One of the good management of BUMD is through the principle of transparency. This principle is very important. Management by using the Transparency Principle in the management of this BUMD must be carried out, so that the BUMD can achieve the objectives of the establishment of the BUMD. That is supporting the economy of a region and also contributing to the economy of the region. The method for this research is descriptive analytical with normative juridical research using primary, secondary and tertiary data through literature and document studies. The results showed that the importance of managing BUMD in transparency through the principle of transparency is also the best way that can be done by BUMD to be able to fight crime that occurs within BUMD itself, which is often still done by parties certain parties to benefit from the management of BUMD that does not use the principle of transparency. Transparency is also an important point in the management of BUMD to be able to realize the tangible manifestation of improved management of management and implementation of BUMD that is good and can also help in reducing opportunities for occurrence corruption, collusion and Nepotism that continue to occur in the management of BUMD.

Published: January 2022

La anemia es una patología comúnmente encontrada en la población neonatal; es secundaria a una serie de factores de riesgo fisiológicos y no fisiológicos que contribuyen a su desarrollo. Entre sus variantes se encuentra la enfermedad hemolítica del feto y el recién nacido, la cual es considerada la causa más frecuente de anemia en dicha población. Se realizó la revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos Medline, Science Direct y Lilacs hasta agosto de 2020. En la búsqueda y selección de los artículos se usaron los términos MeSH: anemia neonatal, eritroblastosis fetal y eritropoyetina. Para el tratamiento de dicha patología se dispone de  a transfusión de glóbulos rojos y los agentes estimulantes de la eritropoyesis; el uso de eritropoyetina humana recombinante como parte del tratamiento ha sido ampliamente discutido y controvertido, no  bstante, hay estudios que demuestran que su uso reduce la necesidad de transfusiones sanguíneas.
Colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria: revisión narrativa
Authors: Díaz Jesús Eduardo , Barreto Dhayra Karem , Sarmiento Guillermo Julián
Published: January 2022

La colecistectomía laparoscópica es el tratamiento aceptado para la enfermedad biliar. Actualmente se han logrado tiempos quirúrgicos más cortos y menos complicaciones perioperatorias, lo que ha llevado a considerar una estancia hospitalaria posquirúrgica cada vez más corta, llegando a cumplir con la definición de cirugía ambulatoria. Varios estudios han confirmado la seguridad relativa de la colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria con baja mortalidad y morbilidad; sin embargo, siguen surgiendo preocupaciones sobre la seguridad del paciente para la detección y manejo de las complicaciones posoperatorias. Diferentes metaanálisis han encontrado que no hay mortalidad a corto plazo y no hay diferencias en morbilidad y readmisiones al comparar la colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria con la de estancia habitual. Por lo anterior, con lo encontrado en la literatura mundial, se puede considerar que la colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria es posible realizarse de forma segura si hay una selección adecuada de pacientes junto con el cumplimiento de requisitos específicos de egreso.

Los sucesos de nuestros días

Published: January 2022

Reflexionar es una tarea compleja, especialmente en nuestro país que, habitualmente inestable, violento y turbulento, vive unas de sus horas más oscuras. En Colombia nos enfrentamos ahora a dos dramáticos desafíos. En primer lugar, las consecuencias terribles de la pandemia del COVID-19 con 81.310 fallecidos y más de 3 millones de casos reportados oficialmente hasta hoy, 16 de mayo de 2021. Encontramos un país al borde del colapso hospitalario, con sus sistemas de salud pública debilitados, con los equipos de salud cansados y con escasez de insumos.

Nuestro gremio ha enfrentado con singular valentía y estoicismo esta tarea monumental, aportando un número muy significativo entre los contagiados y fallecidos. En mi caso personal puedo afirmar, como la mayoría de los médicos de nuestro país, que entre sus conocidos ya es excepcional aquel que no se ha infectado por coronavirus y debo agregar, con profundo dolor, como entre esos fallecidos hay colegas, maestros y amigos entrañables.
Los niños frente al conflicto social: una perspectiva desde la psiquiatría infantil
Authors: Guzmán-Lopez Claudia Patricia
Published: January 2022

Después de escuchar las historias de David y Laura, intento interpretar como nuestros niños y adolescentes perciben la realidad social que vivimos día a día en nuestro departamento y quizá en otras regiones del país. David creció con sus abuelos, luego de que sus padres se separaron. Tiene tan solo 14 años, su rutina preferida es salir a marchar en las jornadas de protesta, en el marco del paro nacional. Durante la entrevista, relata: “mi familia no quiere que salga tanto a la calle, pero yo me siento bien, hay peligro, pero tengo mi parche y entre todos nos cuidamos, en este país no hay futuro para nadie, ni estudio, ni trabajo, ni un salario que alcance, mi abuelo tiene una pensión que no alcanza, si uno se muere, al menos hizo algo importante, por eso no hay miedo” (1).

Más tarde ingresa a la consulta Laura, ella tiene 9 años, relata que en las noches tiene pesadillas y no duerme bien, me pregunta ¿usted cree que los policías son malos?, mi papá es policía, me miraba como esperando un comentario. En ese momento empecé a analizar que sus certezas, así como las de tantos niños provienen de sus historias familiares, del quehacer pedagógico que interactúa con su pensamiento infantil, del barrio en el que habitan, si son campesinos, indígenas, estudian en colegios privados o públicos, son producto de sus interacciones y las relaciones de su cotidianidad.

“I AM LARGE, I CONTAIN MULTITUDES”: IDENTITY, ALTERITY AND THE TRANSITIONAL SELF
Authors: MOCAN GABRIELA IOANA
Published: January 2022

What is identity and what makes us be who we are? The concept of identity has changed considerably over the past century, the subject finding itself at the intersection of nation, gender, the rise of multiculturalism and colonial history. While we are born with no self- awareness and our first point of reference is the world outside us, navigating existence involves a constant self-analysis and the realisation that any attempt at defining ourselves will result in newer interrogations.  Aiming to provide some guidance to this relentless quest by introducing few of the key concepts used in identity research, the present paper addresses  the  fluidity  of  the  self by  focusing  on  the  identity-alterity   nexus  and  by prioritising the ‘becoming’ over the ‘being’. Identity is, thus, always shifting and never a given; it is a transitional  process oscillating between self-identification and identification made by the others, a puzzle whose interlocked pieces can be moved around and change in meaning.
DIGITAL IDENTITY
Authors: GAVRILUŢĂ CRISTINA
Published: January 2022

The text aims to bring forward a topical issue, that of digital identity. Based on a series of international  discussions (Davos Forum, EU) but also in the context of recent announcements   in  the  field  of  new  technologies  (the  announcement   made  by  M. Zuckerberg on the metaverse), I proposed a socio-anthropological approach of the identity phenomenon  today.  At least  in the  documents  consulted,  the  classic social identity  is doubled by a virtual social identity and the latter has different names: digital wallet, Good Health Pass, global identity.  From a  phenomenological  perspective  and  placed  in  the context of the distinction between utopia and heterotopia  (M. Foucault) we can say that digital identity is revealed to us as a heterotopic identity that places our entire system of perception and identity construction in a new paradigm.
TWO VISIONS OF IDENTITY: FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY AND VLADIMIR SOLOVYOV
Authors: NIZHNIKOV SERGEI
Published: January 2022

In Russian thought of the second part of the 19th century, Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881) and  Vladimir  Solovyov  (1853–1900) are  two  prevailing  figures.  However,  they  had different  approaches  to  interpreting   the  correlations  between  the  universal  and  the individual, the global (panhuman) and the universal (all-human). These approaches stem from their different visions of identity.
ALTERITY, RECOGNITION AND THE DIALOGICAL PRINCIPLE
Authors: CASTRO-HENRIQUES MENDO
Published: January 2022

The author  presents  the dialogical principle I am constituted through Thou as a tool to understand  the double edge concept of identity, as sketched by Zygmunt Bauman whom he  considers  an  enlightened   sceptic.  He  pays  special  attention   to  the  concept  of recognition or acknowledgment, as a meeting point of the universal and the unique, for the building of relational and dynamic identities in post-modern societies. Contemporary authors such as Kierkegaard and Rosenzweig, or Church Fathers such as Saint Augustine and St John Climacus, and other traditions, consider the I and Thou relationship  as the fundamental  standpoint  for man’s existence; as such, we may follow their  ideas as a reference for intercultural and interreligious dialogue in a globalized world.
WHEN RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE BUILDS IDENTITY
Authors: NACU NICUȘOR
Published: January 2022

Starting from the writings of Félicité de la Mennais, the article aims to analyze religious indifference as an important coordinate of the current identity profile. Finding its roots in the  skepticism  of humanistic  thinking  and  in  the  interpretive  approaches  that  try  to elaborate rational explanations, religious indifference is, in the end, the consequence of a life choice. It can manifest itself in radical forms and in this sense, we have identified fundamentalist  indifference  as  an  expression  of  an  intellectual  manifestation  that  is imposed on society in an ideological way based on an artificial dichotomy between sacred and profane. All this offers a new, objectifying paradigm within which the definition of homo religious is built. Thus, religious difference accumulates a series of behaviors that subscribe to the centrality of personal experience.
INDIAN CHRISTIAN IDENTITY: RELIGIO-CULTURAL INTERACTION TO MINORITY FRAMING
Authors: GNANAPRAGASAM PATRICK
Published: January 2022

Indian Christianity has been an interactive community, living out its faith and traditions in  an  ambience  of  spontaneity.   It  implied  moments  and  dynamics  of  acceptance, rejections,   hesitations,   and   criticism  from  the   outside   others,   even  while   Indian Christianity itself involved in dynamics of exclusions and inclusions towards others.  All these  religio-cultural  dynamics  took  place in a vein of spontaneity,  interactivity,  and creativity. However, in the recent past, it has been made to become self-conscious of its identity as the majority’s ‘other’ through a process of ‘minority framing’. From being an ancient religious community, which went about its life and activities in an ambience of freedom,  the  Indian  Christian  community  is  now  made  to  become  a  ‘communally conscious  minority’,  concerned  about  its  vulnerable  communal  identity.  This  essay narrates the contours of the changes.

Authors: Глазков В.А. , Левченков А.И.
Published: January 2022

В статье анализируется концепция устойчивого развития как вполне естественный логический переход от экологизации научных знаний и социально-экономического развития к вопросам ограниченности природных ресурсов, а также загрязнения природной среды, которая является основой жизни, экономической и любой деятельности человека. Авторы исходят из триединства основных оценочных категорий определяющих устойчивое развитие: экономический рост, социальная ответственность и экологический баланс.

The article analyzes the concept of sustainable development as a completely natural logical transition from the ecologization of scientific knowledge and socio-economic development to the issues of limited natural resources, as well as pollution of the natural environment, which is the basis of life, economic and any human activity. The authors proceed from the trinity of the main assessment categories that determine sustainable development: economic growth, social responsibility and ecological balance.

TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE NECESSITY OF INTRODUCTION THE PHENOMENON OF NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS (NFT-TOKEN) INTO RUSSIAN LEGISLATION
Authors: Попова А.В. , Семцива С.И.
Published: January 2022

Современный период развития российского общества характеризуется цифровизацией основных институтов общества, которая, однако, идёт гораздо интенсивнее, чем развитие российского законодательства. Статья посвящена анализу сущности невзаимозаменяемого токена (NFT, nonfungible token), особенностям их создания и обращения, а также необходимостью внедрения данного феномена в законодательство РФ как предмета интеллектуальной собственности, цифровых прав, а также урегулирование вопроса перехода исключительных прав на сами NFT объекты. Автор видит перспективы для введения института цифровых прав, в частности таких правовых феноменов, как NFT, в законодательство отдельных стран. В статье предложены конкретные изменения в статьи гражданского, а также уголовного и семейного законодательства, направленные на устранение существующих пробелов правового регулирования данного вопроса и развитие NFT в будущем.

The modern period of development of Russian society is characterized by the digitalization of the main institutions of society, which, however, is much more intensive than the development of Russian legislation. The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence of NFT, the peculiarities of their creation and circulation, as well as the need to introduce this phenomenon into the legislation of the Russian Federation as a subject of intellectual property, digital rights, as well as the settlement of the issue of the transfer of exclusive rights to the NFT objects themselves. The author sees prospects for the introduction of the institution of digital rights, in particular, such legal phenomena as NFT, into the legislation of individual countries. The paper proposes specific changes to articles of civil, as well as criminal and family law, aimed at eliminating the existing gaps in the legal regulation of this issue and the development of NFT in the future.
Violence and sexual risk taking reported by young people at Swedish youth clinics
Authors: Hammarström Sofia , Alehagen Siw , Kilander Helena
Published: January 2022

Background: Early identification of sexual risk taking and exposure to violence is fundamental when seeking to strengthen young people’s health. The purpose of this study was to study factors associated with sexual risk taking and ill health, as well as to study gender differences, and the associations amongst exposure to multiple forms of violence, sexual risk taking and ill health.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on data from 3,205 young people answering a questionnaire belonging to the Sexual health Identification Tool (SEXIT 2.0), during consultations at 12 youth clinics in Sweden. The analyses are based on descriptive statistics and nominal multiple regression analysis.

Results: Male, transgender and non-binary youths reported significantly more events of sexual risk taking and ill health compared to women. Those who reported sexual initiation before the age of 15 (OR 2.87, CI 1.81–4.56), three or more sexual partners in the past 12 months (OR 2.68, CI 1.70–4.22) and to have ever experienced an unintended pregnancy (OR 2.29, CI 1.32–3.97) were more than twice as likely to report exposure to physical, emotional and sexual violence. Transgender, non-binary youths and women were more exposed to multiple violence (OR 3.68, 13.50) compared to men.

Conclusions: Transgender and non-binary youths are exposed to significantly more violence compared to women and men. Experiences of sexual risk taking and ill health demonstrated strong associations with exposure to multiple violence.
Endocan as a potential marker in diagnosis and predicting disease severity in COVID-19 patients: a promising biomarker for patients with false-negative RT-PCR
Authors: Laloglu Esra , Alay Handan
Published: January 2022

Background: Endothelial-specific molecule 1 (endocan) has emerged as an inflammatory biomarker in recent years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of serum endocan levels in the prediction of COVID-19 disease among patients with a false-negative reverse transcription polymerase change reaction (RT-PCR) test, and also to determine its correlation with the clinical severity of the disease.

Methods: Thirty patients with positive RT-PCR results and 30 with false-negative RT-PCR results, both with suspected COVID-19 in terms of clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings, were included in the study. Thirty healthy controls were also enrolled.

Results: Serum endocan levels were estimated to be 821.8 ± 99.3 pg/mL in COVID-19 RT-PCR (+) patients, 803.9 ± 97.0 pg/mL in RT-PCR false (–) patients with suspected COVID-19, and 382.9 ± 37.5 pg/mL in the control group. No significant difference was observed between RT-PCR (+) and RT-PCR false (–) patients (P = 0.68). However, serum endocan levels differed significantly between patient groups and control group (P < 0.05). With a cut-off value of 444.2 pg/mL serum endocan levels differentiated COVID-19 cases from healthy individuals with 92% sensitivity and 80% specificity. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was observed between serum endocan levels and clinical severity (P < 0.01, r = 0.94).

Conclusions: There is a need for different laboratory markers capable of assisting diagnosis and showing COVID-19 infection in suspected COVID-19 RT-PCR false-negative patients. Endocan levels can be used as an assistant blood test for identifying COVID-19 patients with false-negative RT-PCR tests and in determining the clinical severity of the disease.
La reconfiguración del proceso de trabajo docente bajo el confinamiento provocado por la pandemia
Authors: Ocampo Merlo Rodrigo Eduardo , Cuéllar Vázquez Angélica
Published: January 2022

El objetivo de esta investigación es exponer la forma en la que se reconfiguró el trabajo docente ante el confinamiento provocado por la pandemia derivada del virus SARS-CoV-2. Un cambio que obligó el traslado de la práctica docente al ámbito privado a través del trabajo en línea y a foros televisivos por medio del programa Aprende en Casa. Esta modificación exigió al magisterio adecuar los componentes emocionales, estéticos, éticos y de cuidado de su trabajo a las condiciones tecnológicas, interactivas y espaciales de los ámbitos mencionados. El desarrollo de la investigación demandó hacer una reconstrucción de los debates en torno al proceso de trabajo en servicios; cuestión que permitió analizar las particularidades físicas, relacionales y subjetivas que se incorporaron al trabajo del cuerpo docente de una escuela primaria de la Ciudad de México. Las propuestas teórico-metodológicas del “trabajo no clásico” y el configuracionismo latinoamericano sirven de guía a este artículo.
