Authors:   Doctoral student of Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, NAZARKULOVA Nodira
Published: May 2021

The issue of women's rights has become a topic of focus in all societies striving for democracy today. International cooperation on gender relations and equality in them will have a positive effect on improving the social status of women and their free exercise of their rights, their place in public administration, science, economics and other areas. Uzbekistan and the Republic of Korea are two countries that have entered a new phase of economic, political, cultural and international cooperation in all areas. An important aspect of this cooperation is the role of Uzbek and Korean women in interstate cooperation. The following is a brief analysis of the historical roots of the current socio-political and economic situation of women in both countries.
LINGUISTICAL ANALYSIS OF SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN KOREAN
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan, NAZAROVA Madina
Published: May 2021

Interest in the way of life of other peoples has always existed. People have always tried to understand the life and way of life of another nation. One way to do this is through language. In the field of phraseology, the features of ethnography are especially prominent, reflecting the national identity of the life and work of a people. The country's history, geography, economy, lifestyle facts - all this is reflected in the semantics of many phraseology, which allows us to talk about the national-cultural semantics of phraseology. Today it is recognized by most linguists. It is noted that a large layer of phraseology of a language is formed on the national soil.

Published: May 2021

Pak Wanso’s work is not only about standard themes, but also about new ones in Korean literature. Pak Wanso himself said he wanted to prevent the Korean War and its aftermath, the number of people killed during the war, and the loss and gain of territory from becoming a mere historical record. Pak Wanso wanted to record the consequences of the war. Pak Wanso commented on the breakdown or weakening of kinship with the influx of individualism from the West. This article discusses the topic of «mother» in modern Korean literature.
PECULIARITIES OF MEDICAL TERMS RELATED TO “PATIENT AND PHYSICIAN” SPEECH IN MODERN COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan, QOSIMOVA Shakhodat
Published: May 2021

Of course, there are conditions for working with a patient. After the doctor has studied the approximate diagnosis of the patient's illness, personality, profession, social conditions, level, worldview, level of knowledge, external mental characteristics, it is necessary to prepare spiritually for communication with him. Communication between the patient and the doctor takes place in two frames. The first, in the outer circular chain, includes the steps in the physician’s preparation for communication with the patient, as described above. The second, the inner circle, is the chain of evidence that determines the identity of the patient, the causes of his illness.

THE FATE OF THE BULGARIAN WORD ДЕТО IN SLOVENE LITERARY TRANSLATIONS
Authors: GROŠELJ Robert
Published: May 2021

The aim of the article is to determine and to analyse translation equivalents of the Bulgarian lexical item дето in Slovene translations of five Bulgarian novels. After the introductory overview of the uses of дето (with a contrastive Bulgarian-Slovene perspective) and the functional-semantic analysis of all the occurrences of дето (including само дето and освен дето) in the novels analysed, their Slovene translation counterparts were extracted and analysed functionally, semantically, as well as quantitatively. The most frequent function of дето in the analysed novels is that of the absolute relativizer, followed by дето as a causal and a locative conjunction, and a relativizer with a concessive meaning; дето is also a part of two complex conjunctions, with само дето indicating limitation-contrast or unfoundedness, and освен дето signalling limitation. In addition, дето is found in the parenthetical clause дето се казва ‘as the saying goes’. The translation equivalents show a higher diversity in comparison with the source text forms. Bulgarian дето, само дето and освен дето have – within separate functional-semantic categories – a broad array of functional-semantic, lexical and structural Slovene translation equivalents: pronouns (mainly relative), various conjunctions, omissions, modal particles, adverbs, and clauses. The analysis has shown that дето (with само дето and освен дето) does not have an analogous lexical counterpart in Slovene. Moreover, translators frequently depart from the semantic, syntactic and stylistic features of the source text.
THE TRENDS OF REDUCTION OF THE PHONEMIC STRUCTURE OF THE WORD AS A GENERAL PROBLEM OF SLAVIC TYPOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Authors: NOVAK Olga
Published: May 2021

This research is dedicated to spirantization, elision and substitution of the phoneme /h/ as the specific feature of the South Slavic dialects represented in a South Slavic dialect continuum, but reflected in different ways in literary languages.
Throughout the Bulgarian linguistic territory the phoneme [h] is consistently preserved in its etymological place only in the Rupian dialects, more accurately only in the Rhodope (Middle Rupian) and Thracian (South Rupian) dialects.
In Serbocroatistics the problem of the status and functioning of the phoneme [h] is challenging. In the Serbian and the Croatian languages the instability of consonant phonemes is not only the feature of the dialectal continuum, but also of the literary speech which only emphasizes the close connection between these forms of the language.
The listed characteristics of the phonetic model of a word in South Slavic dialects can be attributed to the number of syntagmatic features that are specific to vocal-type systems according to A. Isachenko's classification. It states that the typological sign has not only a static form (a system of phonemes, their number and ratio), but also a dynamic one (rules for the combination of sounds).
Taking into consideration the fact that the instability of /h/ is not a common Slavic feature, I consider it possible to agree with the conclusions of the Slavicists that this phoneme sounded differently in Slavic dialects in the late Slavic period. The instability of the phoneme /h/ in South Slavic dialects and the tendency to it substitutions can be regarded as Slavic Balkanism.
ON SEX, GENDER AND SEXISM IN THE BULGARIAN CULTURE AND LANGUAGE
Authors: VODENICHAROV Petar
Published: May 2021

The paper is provoked by the rejection and falsification of the messages of the Istanbul Convention in Bulgaria and other post-communist countries which caused a wave of homophobia. The author tries to prove that neither in the communist period nor in the post-communist period a real emancipation of women was achieved, the theme of homosexuality was a taboo (in the communist period), over-presented in the first decade of the transition and later stigmatize by the rise of the populist nationalistic discourse.
During the communist period, the so called “Unions of the fighters against fascism” turned into the male clientelistic networks granted with many privileges and marginalizing female antifascists. The critical discourse analysis of the press (1976) reveals male dominance and silencing of women playing mostly a decorative role. After the democratic changes the same male actors (nomenclature and former state security officers) benefited from the privatization, but the so called “mugs” (wrestlers) presented the new masculinity in the media: women were extremely sexualized and the new femininity was presented by the prostitutes and the girls in the entertaining industry, the professional women were rarely mentioned.
The second part of the paper is a gender analysis of the lexical and grammatical system of the Bulgarian language. The analysis of the dominating metaphors reveals the means of male dominance in the everyday speech. Although the Slav languages have morphemes to denote women’s professions the media discourse prefers the male forms as more prestigious. The definite article and the plural forms serve to emphasise the male forms and to provide their euphony.
COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS OF SLANG AND CANT/ARGOT
Authors: HALUZOVÁ Lenka , HLADKÝ Juraj
Published: May 2021

This brief overview deals with the definition of sociolects in Slavic and non-Slavic linguistics. It presents the historical development of slang and cant/argot research in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic, as well as the similarities or differences in the definitions of basic terms. It pays attention to the classification of some facultative slangs from an exclusive environment (e.g. criminal). In the last decades, some slangs have been inappropriately characterized as argot. When classifying sociolects, the type of social environment and the social status of the person are often overestimated. Insufficient attention is paid to the communication functions of the sociolect in society and outside, the communication space and the communication potential of the sociolect. Attention is also paid to argot and its inappropriate definition as “the secret language of the low/excluded social groups”. In the case of argot, specific codes can only be identified by a member of a closed community who knows rules for the use of specific verbal or non-verbal codes. Argot may arise and exist in the environment where two antagonistic groups occur. Therefore, argot is not a language of low/excluded social groups, it only has a cryptic function. It is a discrete strategy shielding the communication goal and its occurrence is expected only in a small group of communicators. It has a low communication potential and a radius that is concentrated inside the community. The user of argot can potentially be anyone in any environment, regardless of the motivation for secrecy of communication.

Cord Blood Haematological Parameters Reference Range Difference in Urban and Rural Population of West Bengal as Compared to Global Scenario
Authors: Manna S , Dhar I , Naskar TK , Law S
Published: May 2021

Background: Human umbilical cord blood is often discarded as a biomedical waste. We aimed to standardise a local cord blood reference range for the West Bengal population. The cord blood haematological values differ depending on ethnic, regional and genealogical groups, so we primarily focussed our study on the international and intra-national differences of cord blood parameters. Comparison between the cord blood values of urban and the rural population along with normal and caesarean deliveries was not recorded before. Methods: Umbilical cord blood was procured from consenting mothers (average age: 26.1 and 38-40 weeks gestation period), post-delivery at Medical College, Kolkata. Cord blood parameters were divided into two major groups: urban and rural population, each group was further divided into two sub-groups depending on the mode of delivery: normal and caesarean delivery. Comparison was also drawn on the basis of other international groups having different ethnic backgrounds and inter-state individuals having similar ethnic background. Results: Our results showed West Bengal’s cord blood WBC value was higher and monocyte count was much lesser when compared globally. The neutrophil value was higher in rural as compared to urban and both the lymphocyte and platelet values of urban were recorded more than rural. Slight differences were recorded among urban-normal, urban-caesarean, rural normal and rural caesarean groups. Conclusion: A new angle in terms of urban and rural population study is introduced in cord blood analysis. The standardisation of cord blood reference range for the West Bengal population is a new step for neonatal studies.

The Formation of C3O3H6 Structural Isomers in the Gas Phase through Barrierless Pathways: Formation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Methoxy Acetic Acid
Authors: Gámez Victoria , Senent María Luisa
Published: May 2021

Gas phase formation processes feasible at low temperatures are determined theoretically for 38 isomers obeying the C3O3H6 empirical formula, one of them, the simplest ketose dihydroxyacetone, has been observed in gas phase sources. A preliminary search for isomeric forms first targets ethoxy formic acid (C2H5–O–COOH) as the most stable isomer followed by lactic acid. Profiles corresponding to the minimum energy pathways reveal that the favored conformers of 14 of these isomers can be formed in the gas phase through 29 barrierless processes involving the OH*, CH3O*, HCO*, CH3*, CH2OH, HCOO*, and OHCO* radicals, all of them observed in the interstellar medium. Kinetic rates are provided at 200, 298, and 500 K, confirming the suitability of 16 processes at low temperatures. Faster processes involve the OH hydroxyl radical whereas, to a lesser degree, the processes involving the HOCO radical and the methoxy methyl radical CH3O*, are quite significant. Spectroscopic parameters (rovibrational and torsional) are obtained for methoxy acetic acid (CH3–O–CH2COOH) for which two low-lying isoenergetic conformers can be produced from the CH3OCH2* radical predicted to be a precursor of abundant observed molecules. Profiles and spectroscopic properties make methoxy acetic acid a good candidate to be detected in the gas phase of extraterrestrial sources.
Experimental Investigation of the Acetylene–Benzene Cocrystal on Titan
Authors: Czaplinski Ellen , Yu 余 Xinting 馨 婷 , Dzurilla Katherine , Chevrier Vincent
Published: May 2021

Acetylene and benzene are two common molecules formed in Titan’s atmosphere, and are likely components of the lake evaporites. It is known that these two molecules can form a cocrystal, a molecule with a structure that is unique from that of the component molecules. Thus, we sought to study this cocrystal using an experimental setup that simulates Titan surface conditions (90 K, 1.5 bar). Using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, we characterize new spectral absorptions, band shifts, and morphological sample changes associated with this cocrystal from 1 to 2.6 μm, which overlaps with Cassini VIMS wavelength range (0.35–5.1 μm). This is the first study of the resulting acetylene–benzene cocrystal under Titan-relevant temperature and pressure. The cocrystal forms at 135 K and is stable down to 90 K. Our findings can be applied to the cocondensation process in Titan’s atmosphere, as well as the ongoing effort to better characterize the composition and spectral properties of Titan’s lake evaporites. These results can also provide a stepping stone to future surface missions such as Dragonfly, which will closely examine relevant surface materials on Titan.

Authors: Siregar Rosmayanti Syafriani , Ramayani Oke Rina , Winson Chitra  , Ramayati Rafita
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays an eminent role in the renin-angiotensin system that may interfere with blood pressure regulation. Children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are often observed with low serum vitamin D levels that may lead to Vitamin D deficiency status.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and blood pressure in children with NS.
METHODS: A cross-sectional, observational analytic study was conducted in 35 children NS with minimal change diseases from February to August 2019 in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Blood pressure was examined and serum Vitamin D levels along with serum creatinine, albumin, and calcium were measured.
RESULTS: Of 35 children, 21 children (60%) had proteinuria. Regarding the category of Vitamin D status, there were 40% and 34.3% with deficiency and severe deficiency of Vitamin D, respectively. The median serum Vitamin D levels were not significantly different among the age group. Children with proteinuria showed lower serum Vitamin D levels (P < 0.001). There was an elevation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in children with proteinuria (P = 0.039 and P = 0.036, respectively). Our study showed a weak negative correlation between serum Vitamin D levels and either systolic or diastolic blood pressure (r-0.114 and r-0.174, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Both Vitamin D deficiency and severe deficiency are common in children with NS. In this study, serum Vitamin D levels have been shown to have a weak negative correlation with blood pressure in children with NS.

Cataloguing the bacterial diversity in the active ectomycorrhizal zone of Astraeus from a dry deciduous forest of Shorea
Authors: Vishal Vineet , Munda Somnath , Singh Geetanjali , Lal Shalini
Published: May 2021

The plant microbiome has been considered one of the most researched areas of microbial biodiversity, yet very little information is available on the microbial communities prevailing in the mushroom's ectomycorrhizosphere. Ectomycorrhizal symbioses often result in the formation of a favourable niche which enables the thriving of various microbial symbionts where these symbionts endorse functions, such as quorum sensing, biofilm formation, volatile microbial compound (VOC) production, regulation of microbial gene expression, symbiosis and virulence. The identification of hidden uncultured microbial communities around the active ectomycorrhizal zone of Astraeus from dry deciduous sal forest of Jharkhand, India was carried out using MinION Oxford Nanopore sequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons genes. High richness of Operational Taxonomic Units (1,905 OTUs) was observed. We recorded 25 distinct phyla. Proteobacteria (36%) was the most abundant phylum, followed by Firmicutes (28%), Actinobacteria (10%) and Bacteroidetes (6%), whereas Gammaproteobacteria was the most abundant class of bacterial communities in the active ectomycorrhizal zone. The ectomycorrhizosphere soil has abundant phosphate-solubilising bacteria (PSB). This is the first report of the ectomycorrhizosphere microbiome associated with Astraeus.
« Malheureusement on a une conscience… » : l’engagement des professionnels, ressource ou obstacle pour la santé ?
Authors: Sandoval Amélie , Kostulski Katia
Published: May 2021

À partir d’une revue de littérature sur l’engagement en psychologie du travail et des organisations, et en s’appuyant sur des données empiriques et cliniques issues d’une intervention en clinique de l’activité auprès de treize chefs d’équipe du nettoiement, cet article propose d’aborder l’engagement et le désengagement comme processus liés à l’activité des professionnels. À partir d’une analyse des activités de travail réalisée en autoconfrontations simples et croisées, nous montrons que ces processus varient en fonction des moments et des situations, ainsi qu’en fonction des moyens et ressources (individuels, collectifs, organisationnels) que trouvent les professionnels pour réaliser leur travail. L’analyse langagière de dialogues issus de cette intervention permet de décrire des dynamiques concrètes d’engagement et de désengagement dans lesquelles les rapports entre engagement, désengagement et santé se révèlent multiples et ambivalents. Il en ressort qu’être engagé ne participe pas forcément à la construction de la santé.
Philosophische Grabenkämpfe. Zur Frage der Toleranz bei Heidegger und Jaspers während der Anfangsjahre der Weimarer Republik
Authors: Meyer Daniel
Published: May 2021

Lorsque paraît, au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, la Psychologie des conceptions du monde de Karl Jaspers, se noue un vif débat intellectuel, tout particulièrement avec Martin Heidegger. Ce débat gravite autour de formes distinctes de tolérance : tandis que Jaspers prône un renouvellement successif de l’existence à travers l’acceptation de l’autre, où l’individu, pour ne pas succomber à la sclérose intellectuelle, doit chercher à se glisser dans un nouveau rapport au monde, Heidegger cherche à accéder à une forme originaire du soi qui se révèle au contraire dans la confrontation à l’autre, qu’il s’agit dès lors de respecter dans son altérité. Se dégage à travers ce débat un antagonisme entre une forme inclusive et exclusive de la tolérance, mais il doit également être perçu comme la volonté de conférer à la crise profonde que traverse la pensée allemande au lendemain du conflit mondial une portée positive, de percevoir dans cette crise le moment d’une révélation existentielle.
A Two-Surgeon Approach Improves Performance for Young Surgeons in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Published: May 2021

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3-dimensional deformity. Previous studies have suggested a learning curve in the successful execution of this technically demanding procedure. A 2-surgeon model may be helpful for less experienced surgeons by facilitating greater consistency in surgical metrics. The objective of this study was to show no significant difference in the parameters examined for surgeries done by inexperienced primary surgeons with a 2-surgeon model compared with those done by their more experienced cohorts. All surgeries with a primary diagnosis of AIS that were performed from January 2012 to December 2015 and had a minimum of 2-year follow-up were included for analysis. Three groups were created based on surgeon experience: inexperienced surgeons (IS) group, experienced surgeons (ES) group, and a third group where the primary surgeon was in the experienced group and the assistant surgeon was in the inexperienced group (EIS). Variables included for analysis were age, Lenke classification, number of levels fused, length of surgery, length of stay, percent curve correction, ratio of estimated blood loss to levels fused, surgical blood loss, and complications. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of operative time, blood loss, number of levels fused, lower estimated blood loss ratio to the number of levels fused, or percent curve correction (
P
>.05). The IS group was found to have a significant shorter length of stay (
P
=.004). The 2-surgeon model is an effective tool for inexperienced surgeons to achieve consistent and reproducible operative performance that is comparable with their more experienced peers. [

The goal of this study was to determine the threshold for achieving maximal outcome improvement (MOI) on the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Constant-Murley (CM) questionnaires that predict satisfaction after isolated biceps tenodesis without concomitant rotator cuff repair. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed for patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis from 2014 to 2017 at a single institution with minimum 6-month follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine thresholds for MOI for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires. Stepwise multivariate logistical regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for achieving the threshold for MOI. A total of 123 patients were included in the final analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined that achieving 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% MOI was the threshold for satisfaction for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Regression analysis showed that concomitant superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair was predictive of achieving MOI on the ASES and SANE questionnaires, whereas partial rotator cuff tear was predictive of achieving MOI on the CM questionnaire (
P

<.05 for all). Achieving MOI of 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% is the threshold for satisfaction after biceps tenodesis for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Concomitant SLAP repair was positively predictive of achieving MOI, whereas workers' compensation status, diabetes, history of ipsilateral shoulder surgery, and hypertension were negative predictors.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of race, insurance status, and socioeconomic status on successful or unsuccessful healing of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions in the pediatric knee. The authors retrospectively reviewed patients younger than 18 years who were treated for a knee OCD lesion between 2006 and 2017. Patients were required to have at least 6 months of clinical and radiographic follow-up to be included, unless complete healing was achieved sooner. The primary outcome of interest was healing of the OCD lesion based on radiographic and clinical examination. A total of 204 OCD lesions in 196 patients with a mean follow-up of 15.8±6.4 months were included. The mean age at initial presentation was 12.4±2.8 years. At most recent follow-up, 28 (13.7%) lesions did not show radiographic or clinical evidence of healing. Nonhealing lesions were found in 25.0% of Black children compared with 9.4% of White children (
P
=.02). After controlling for age, sex, sports participation, lesion size and stability, skeletal maturity, and operative vs nonoperative treatment in a multivariate model, Black children had 6.7 times higher odds of unsuccessful healing compared with their White counterparts (95% CI, 1.1–41.7;
P
=.04). In this study, Black children with OCD of the knee were significantly less likely to heal than were White patients, even when controlling for numerous other factors in a multivariate model. Although the exact etiology of this finding is unclear, future work should focus on the social, economic, and cultural factors that may lead to disparate outcomes. [

Orthopedic Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis
Authors: Lambrechts Mark J. , Smith Matthew J. , Choma Theodore J.
Published: May 2021

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a relatively common disease seen in Whites of northern European descent. Classically, it was a lethal disease and uncommon for the orthopedic practitioner to interact with CF patients. Recent pharmaceutical breakthroughs targeting the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have significantly prolonged patient life expectancy. This makes it increasingly likely that orthopedic surgeons will encounter CF patients in their clinic. In this article, the authors discuss pertinent musculoskeletal manifestations of the CF population, including the increased risk of decreased bone mineral density and bone mineral content, muscle deconditioning, spinal kyphosis, fractures, and elevated systemic inflammation predisposing these individuals to CF-related arthralgia. The diagnoses are grouped into subspecialties (arthroplasty, pediatrics, spine, sports, and trauma) most likely to evaluate the patient. Additionally, the authors review treatment options for these conditions and discuss the need for these patients to be seen in the perioperative period by their CF care team for patient optimization due to their diminished pulmonary function. Interspersed with this literature review, the authors present 2 unique cases. The first case details a patient with pain over her spine due to multilevel spinous process bursitis caused by a high-frequency chest wall oscillation system, which masquerades as an infection. The second case is a non-contact midsubstance rectus femoris tear in an athlete. These cases highlight the need for increased vigilance for uncommon diagnoses in the CF patient population. [

Long-term Outcomes of Delayed Scapholunate Ligament Repair After Complete Rupture of the Ligament
Authors: Moneim Moheb S. , Aubin-Lemay Camille , Anderson Mark S. , Mercer Deana M.
Published: May 2021

Treatment of isolated complete tear of the scapholunate ligament is challenging. The purpose of this study was to determine (1) whether delayed repair of only scapholunate ligament is an option without other reconstruction procedures and (2) whether functional outcomes are possible despite radiographic presence of arthritis. This study included patients who had complete ligament tear at exploration and underwent only scapholunate ligament repair without capsulodesis or tenodesis. Fifteen patients returned for clinical and radiographic examinations. Preoperatively, mean scapholunate gap was 2.9 mm and 4.58 mm on posteroanterior and tangential posteroanterior views, respectively. Postoperatively, the final mean gap was 2.5 mm and 3.9 mm on the posteroanterior and tangential posteroanterior views, respectively. The mean preoperative and final scapholunate angles were 74° and 72.6°, respectively. Seven patients had radiographic arthritis at final follow-up. Delayed scapholunate repair is possible after complete ligament tear. At long-term follow-up, clinical functional outcomes may not correlate with radiographic presence of degenerative arthritis. [

Published: May 2021

With the increasing medical complexity of patients undergoing posterior lumbar surgery, more patients are pharmacologically immunosuppressed to manage chronic conditions. The effects of immunosuppression have become of greater interest across multiple surgical specialties. The goal of the current study was to investigate whether long-term corticosteroid use is independently associated with perioperative adverse outcomes among patients undergoing posterior lumbar surgery. Patients who underwent elective posterior lumbar spine surgery (decompression and/or fusion) were identified in the 2005–2016 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Patient factors, surgical factors, and 30-day perioperative outcomes for patients taking long-term corticosteroids were compared with those for patients who were not taking these drugs. Propensity matching and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate comparable patients while controlling for potentially confounding variables. In total, 140,519 patients undergoing posterior lumbar spine surgery were identified. Of these, 5243 (3.73%) were taking corticosteroids. After propensity matching and controlling for age, sex, body mass index, functional status, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and surgical procedure, those taking corticosteroids were at greater risk for any adverse event (odds ratio, 1.45), a serious adverse event (odds ratio, 1.57), a minor adverse event (odds ratio, 1.47), infection (odds ratio, 1.48), reoperation (odds ratio, 1.48), and readmission (odds ratio, 1.47) (
P
≤.001 for each). The findings confirmed that long-term corticosteroid use is associated with significant increases in perioperative adverse outcomes for patients undergoing elective posterior lumbar surgery, even with matching and controlling for potentially confounding variables. These findings can guide patient counseling and preemptive interventions before surgery for this patient population. [

Hip Strength Before and After Arthroscopic Femoroacetabular Impingement Surgery
Authors: Wierks Carl H. , Boersma Jacob B. , Pate Matthew J. , Davis Alan T.
Published: May 2021

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral pathology are associated with pain, decreased function, and hip strength deficits. Existing data are in conflict regarding when hip strength normalizes following arthroscopic treatment of FAI. The objective of this study was to identify preoperative hip strength relative to the contralateral hip not undergoing surgery as well as when postoperative strength in 4 functional muscle groups normalizes following arthroscopic treatment of FAI. Ninety-eight individuals with radiographic evidence of FAI and labral pathology underwent arthroscopic labral repair. Pre-surgical hip strength testing was performed in the symptomatic “surgical hip” and the contralateral “non–surgical hip.” Hip strength measurements were repeated at 8 and 16 weeks postoperatively. Significant preoperative hip strength deficits were noted in the surgical hip compared with the non–surgical hip in flexion, extension, and adduction. At 8 weeks postoperatively, hip strength in the surgical hip improved to being equivalent to that in the non–surgical hip in adduction and extension, remained equivalent to that of the non–surgical hip in abduction, and decreased in flexion relative to the non–surgical hip. At 16 weeks, hip strength remained equivalent in the surgical hip and the non–surgical hip in abduction and adduction, but the surgical hip exceeded the non–surgical hip in extension. While flexion strength improved between 8 and 16 weeks postoperatively for the surgical hip, it had not fully recovered to that of the non–surgical hip. Using a structured postoperative rehabilitation protocol, abduction strength was maintained at 8 weeks postoperatively, while adduction and extension strength had improved to those of the non–surgical hip. At 16 weeks postoperatively, hip abduction and adduction had strength equivalent to those of the non–surgical hip. Despite preoperative improvement, flexion of the surgical hip lagged behind that of the non–surgical hip 16 weeks postoperatively. [

Staff's Psychological Well-Being and Coping Mechanisms During COVID-19 Lockdown in Care Homes for Older Adults: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
Authors: Zhao Yayi , Cui Yan , Liu Shiqing , Wen Yuting , Ding Yaping , Xu Qin
Published: May 2021

The current study investigated the psychological well-being and coping mechanisms of care home staff during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Among 147 staff members, 21.8%, 24.5%, and 12.9% reported depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. The results of structural equation modeling showed that self-efficacy and coping strategies had direct effects on psychological well-being. In the paths from self-perceived caregiving to psychological well-being, self-efficacy and positive coping strategies played mediating roles independently and together, and social support played a mediating role together with coping strategies. Care home staff's psychological well-being was undermined during the COVID-19 lockdown. Interventions aimed at improving staff's self-efficacy, adoption of positive coping strategies, and avoidance of negative coping strategies or considerations of social support along with coping strategies are suggested to decrease exhibited symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.

A propósito de los efectos ético-políticos sobre la vulnerabilidad: de la criminalización a la humanización
Authors: Ruiz Gutiérrez Adriana María , Solano Vélez Henry Roberto
Published: May 2021

La vulnerabilidad, entendida como factor negativo de criminalización bajo las lógicas inmunitarias, se constituye, a su vez, en fuente creativa y transformadora que permite pensar la vida en común mediante el cuidado y la protección afirmativa de la vida. El desarrollo de esta idea exige tres momentos específicos: en el primero, se describe la democracia actual como una técnica de gobierno cuya gestión recae sobre la población vulnerable; en el segundo, se revisa la criminalización en tanto forma específica de control inmunitario; y, finalmente, se reconoce la vulnerabilidad como el fundamento de otra forma de vida democrática, a partir de la atención de ciertos grupos sociales criminalizados debido a sus condiciones de precariedad.
Biocapitalismo y feminización: transformaciones postfordistas en la economía política del patriarcado
Authors: Tocino Rivas María
Published: May 2021

El propósito es abordar el fenómeno de la feminización del trabajo inscribiéndolo en el marco de las teorías que interpretan el paradigma productivo actual en términos de “biocapitalismo”. En un escenario en el que la acumulación de valor se nutre crecientemente de explotación de la totalidad de las facultades vitales del ser humano, se desdibujan las fronteras de la moderna “economía política del patriarcado”, por cuanto las actividades que antes atendían a la reproducción de la vida se vuelven productivas y el trabajo reproductivo se convierte en paradigma del trabajo en general.
