Resistance through Female Bonding in Tehmina Durrani's Blasphemy
Authors: Kandel Mukti Nath
Published: January 2022

The present research article analyses the suffering of women and their resistance against oppressive Islamic patriarchy through female bonding in Tehmina Durrani’s Blasphemy. In doing so, it offers the working definition of the term “feminism” as a tool of inquiry. It mainly focuses on the suffering of Heer, the protagonist of the novel, due to her loveless marriage with Pir Sain. It exposes the easy distortion of Islam by so-called hypocritical religious leaders like Pir Sain. The suffering of Heer and other female characters in the novel reveal the problems in the cultural and social setting of the Islamic culture and religion. Heer is repeatedly beaten, raped and humiliated by her abusive husband Pir. Pir forces her to live in the world that he has constructed for her. Her marriage with Pir utterly fails as it turns out to be a source of trouble and repression of her self-satisfaction. When she fails to tolerate severe torture and domestic violence, she decides to revolt against it. This paper concludes that Heer is able to resist sexual abuse and exploitation through female bonding. In doing so, she is able to assert her female selfhood.

Authors: Chaudhary SK , Agrawal H , Dhakal R , Yadav A
Published: January 2022

Smile is the jewel of the face, which not only enhances the beauty of the person but also influences self-confidence. Dental esthetic is composed of white and pink component. The long-term periodontal disease results in the destruction of the pink component leading to gingival recession in some cases, which results in elongated tooth with black triangle and unesthetic smile. When severe destruction is present in the maxillary anterior region surgical reconstruction is unpredictable. This destruction can be masked with a prosthesis like gingival mask after the control of periodontal disease. This case report describes the use of the gingival mask as a conservative treatment modality for recession, achieving optimum esthetics and patient satisfaction.

A genderwise comparison of sleep habits of a sample adult population of Kathmandu
Authors: Gorkhali Binu
Published: January 2022

Introduction: A consolidated sleep of 7-9 hours has recuperative effect and improves cognitive function. Relating to their differences in sociodemograpic roles and physiological responses, men and women have different sleep characteristics. Gender differences in Nepalese population has not been reported. The knowledge could be helpful in addressing their sleep disorders.

Materials and methods: Sleep-related information was collected by means of questionnaires from randomly selected adults visiting a blood donation center in Kathmandu.

Results: Complete response was obtained from 442 participants - 317 males and 125 females, with comparable mean age. Most (83.26%) participants had 7-9 hours of sleep. Women went to bed earlier (9.43 pm ±57 min vs 10.05 pm ±77 min in men, p=0.006) as well as woke up earlier (5.37 am ±48 min vs 6.04 am ±91 min in men, p<0.001). Total duration of sleep was comparable between the groups (nearly 8 hours ±1 hour). Age correlated inversely with sleep duration in men (p=0.003) but not in women.

Conclusions: Most participants have adequate sleep duration. Women go to bed earlier and wake up earlier than men, but have about equal duration of sleep.

Authors: Shrestha Rubina , Bhusal Chet Kant , Chhetri Pradip , Shrestha Saneep , Priyanka Jyoti
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Antenatal Care (ANC) services utilization during pregnancy plays an important role in prevention and management of pregnancy related complication thus improving the maternal and child health. Hence this study aimed to identify the factors influencing utilization of ANC service among women visiting for institutional delivery in tertiary hospital of Bhairahawa, Nepal.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Hospital based cross-sectional study was carried among 396 women admitted in the postnatal ward of Universal College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bhairahawa, Nepal form September 2019 to December 2019 following ethical clearance and verbal consent from participants. Variables with significant association (p<0.05) in bivariate analysis were entered into multivariate logistic regressions to find the factors affecting utilization of antenatal care services. 
RESULTS: This study revealed that 18.43% of respondents did not receive any ANC services. Among those who were not receiving ANC service, 86.3% never felt the need for ANC services throughout the period of pregnancy. ANC service utilization was found to be associated with religion (AOR=3.15, 95% CI: 1.40-7.08) and husband education (AOR=5.09, 95% CI: 1.63-15.92).
CONCLUSION: In spite of being an essential component for the care of pregnant women ANC services was not utilized by all of them as many of them did not felt the need of this service. Thus it is recommended to increase awareness regarding the available services and its importance by local stakeholders to prevent further morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Kafle Shyam Prasad , Ahmad Eqtedar , Rauniyar Lalan Prasad , Koirala Namu
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is exceedingly predominant in children leading to dysregulation of the immune system and inflammation. Data on the prevalence of VDD in children with sepsis and its association with sepsis severity are limited from our part of the world. The primary aim of this study was to identify the burden of VDD in children with sepsis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and five children (< 15 years) with sepsis were enrolled from April 15, 2017 to April 14, 2018 from a tertiary care center in Eastern Nepal. Demographic data including BMI, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were recorded at the time of admission. Plasma 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay technique (CLIA) (MAGLUMI 25-OH Vitamin D; CLIA) within 24 hours of admission. Vitamin D concentrations of <20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) were considered as deficient.
RESULTS: Of the 105 children enrolled, the majority 74 (70.55%) had vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D was deficient in 77, 65, and 66% of children in 1-5, 5-10, and 10-15 years of age group respectively. Vitamin D deficiency was maximum (80%) in underweight children. In the VDD group, 60% had severe sepsis, whereas only 32% had severe sepsis in vitamin D sufficient group with significant statistical association with sepsis severity and vitamin D deficiency.
CONCLUSION: A high burden of VDD is present in children with sepsis which was found to be associated with greater severity of illness.
The Consumer Ideology and the Truth about Man
Authors: Reimers Adrian J.
Published: January 2022

The formation of the human conscience is a controverted question in both philosophical ethics and moral philosophy. Conscience refers to one’s conception and understanding of the moral good. An especially significant manifestation of the problem of conscience in the 20th and 21st centuries is the impact of ideology on the individual person’s moral sense. This article considers the impact of two 19th century philosophies―Mill’s utilitarianism and Marxism―on contemporary moral thought insofar as the interaction of these two produce a powerful materialist ideology to determine the modern European and American conscience. We then turn to the thought of Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyła), who in his encyclical Veritatis Splendor and in his earlier philosophical writings developed an account of moral truth by which the dangers of materialistic ideology can be overcome. It is argued, with John Paul II, that only in the context of truth can a coherent account of freedom of conscience under the moral law be developed.
„Bachory wyblakłe, złośliwe i mądre”. Niepokoje dzieciństwa w prozie Leo Lipskiego – juwenilia i Niespokojni
Authors: Zając Antoni
Published: January 2022

Celem tego artykułu jest wstępna analiza postaci dzieci i wizerunków dzieciństwa w utworach Leo Lipskiego, w szczególności zaś w juweniliach oraz powieści Niespokojni. Dokładnej interpretacji podlegają historie dwóch bohaterów: Jana z utworu Śmierć i Emila z Niespokojnych. Wykorzystując narzędzia zaczerpnięte z psychoanalizy i queerowych studiów nad dzieciństwem, autor bada dialektyczną koncepcję dzieciństwa obecną w tekstach Lipskiego: jest to okres radykalnej wrażliwości i podatności tyleż na zmysłowe bodźce, cona trudne lub raniące, wręcz traumatyzujące doświadczenia, zarazem jednak stanowi domenę ryzykownych egzystencjalnych eksperymentów o popędowym podłożu, często nabierających charakteru cielesnej  eksploracji (w tym erotycznej i autoerotycznej). Artykuł jest pomyślany jako pierwszy z serii tekstów poświęconych opisanemu zagadnieniu.

Książka Anny Kuchty Wobec postpamięci. Tożsamość drugiego pokolenia po Holokauście w świetle zjawiska postpamięci na podstawie wybranych przykładów współczesnej polskiej literatury wspomnieniowej dotyczy narracji postmemorialnych, których autorzy mierzą się z przeszłością rodziców i próbują znaleźć własny sposób na opowiedzenie o żydowskiej tożsamości i Zagładzie. Badaczka pisze o uzależnieniu od przeszłości rodzica, przemocy werbalnej oraz braku porozumienia, które są konsekwencjami przebywania w otoczeniu ocalałych. Jej monografia ma szansę stać się jedną z ważniejszych książek na temat skutków Zagłady, które odczuwa drugie pokolenie. Krakowska literaturoznawczyni podzieliła pracę na dwie części. W pierwszej z nich objaśnia koncepcję pracy, definiuje terminy „postpamięć”, „tożsamość” oraz uzasadnia dobór tekstów. W drugiej szczegółowo analizuje osiem książek: Rodzinną historię lęku Agaty Tuszyńskiej, Goldiego. Apoteozę zwierzaczkowatości i Frascati. Apoteozę topografii Ewy Kuryluk, Utwór o Matce i Ojczyźnie Bożeny Keff, Włoskie szpilki i Szum Magdaleny Tulli, Fałszerzy pieprzu Moniki Sznajderman i Wyznanie Romana Grena.
Strupki (etiuda literacko-dermatologiczna)
Authors: Nawarecki Aleksander
Published: January 2022

Tematem eseju są tytułowe „strupki”, rany zwykle kojarzone z dzieciństwem, efekt drobnych urazów, przeważnie kolan i łokci, doznanych w trakcie zabaw. Chodzi o wyjątkowe rany, które w pamięci kojarzone są raczej z radością niż bólem. W języku polskim „strupek” jest zdrobniałą formą słowa „trup”, budzącego grozę i wstręt. Takie połączenie delikatności gramatycznego spieszczenia z estetyką śmiertelnego rozkładu jest zaskakujące, dlatego słowo to ostrożnie używane jest w polszczyźnie, a zatytułowanie nim powieści stanowi akt odwagi. To ryzyko podjęła Paulina Jóźwik w swoim prozatorskim debiucie (2019), opowieści o dojrzewaniu młodej kobiety, w której symbolika tytułowych Strupków oddaje gorzko-słodkie doświadczenie domu rodzinnego.
Demon wiedźmy. Literackie przedstawienia kota-diabła i kota czarownicy na wybranych przykładach literatury światowej i polskiej (XIX–XXI wiek)
Authors: Goworek Anna
Published: January 2022

Obraz kota jako pomocnika czarownicy lub kota-diabła pojawił się już w światowej literaturze XIX wieku. Utrwalony zaś został we współczesnej literaturze fantasy. Pisarze, którzy tworzyli wizerunki kocich bohaterów, często sięgali do mitologii, średniowiecznych tradycji, a nawet dokumentów z procesów o czary. To właśnie tam kot łączony był z czarną magią. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie dialogu, jaki zachodzi między kulturą i literaturą, by nakreślić współczesny literacki wizerunek kota magicznego.

Estimating travel time and measuring speed are critical for increasing the efficiency and safety of traffic road networks. This study presents an investigation of arterial travel time estimation for vital routes in Baghdad city. These estimations including speeds, stops, and delays were computed via GPS device and compared to those currently used to quantify congestion and travel time reliability. The study involved a 45-day survey of private vehicles in Baghdad utilizing a Global Positioning System (GPS) probe to collect data on traffic performance metrics for analysis in a GIS context. It was found that the proposed travel time performance measures show definite differences in estimates of peak-hour travel time as compared with weekend travel time. Route (1) from Bayaa intersection - Bab Al-Mutham intersection (through highway) produced a travel time of 165 minutes and 136 minutes for Bayaa intersection - Bab Al-Mutham intersection (through downtown). The travel speed of routes 1 and 2 are observed near 25 kmph which is below the local speed limit of 70 kmph. The maximum travel time of routes 1 and 2 are 71 minutes and 37 minutes, respectively. While delay time was observed 45 and 20 minutes due to traffic congestion on route 1 and 2, respectively. The majority of vehicles are capable of traveling at normal speeds, with relatively few exceeding them.

Phosphorus is one of the most important nutrients affecting the eutrophication, so its treatment is the most important thing that must be taken before wastewater is dumped into water bodies. This paper presents a study on phosphorous removal by adsorption with oven-dried-alum-sludge (ODAS) that was collected from Baqubah treatment plant (Iraq) and preheat at 105 ° C, cool down at room temperature, and crushed into small particles of (0.8-5) mm. The effect of ODAS studied with doses of 1.25-20 g/l and found that the higher the dose of adsorbent, the higher the percentage of phosphorous removal. Contact time also studied its effect on phosphorous removal and found that it has a clear effect on the adsorption process, as the percentage of phosphorous removal efficiency increased with increasing contact time. The optimum dosage of ODAS was 10 g/l and contact time 180 min with phosphorous removal efficiency (98%, 99%, 97%, and 97%) for initial concentration of (5, 10, 15, and 20) mg/l of phosphorus.

When FRP bars used in concrete structures that exposed to harsh environments, their service life extended and the cost of their life cycle reduced. Recently, methods of externally bonding Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets to RC slabs proposed to improve the dynamic behavior of RC slabs under impact load. In this study, the effect of the number of CFRP sheet layers (one or two) and the arrangement of CFRP sheets (covering the whole or parts of the surface) on the dynamic behavior of slabs reinforced with GFRP bar investigated. Nine specimens of (1550×1550×150) mm reinforced by GFRP bars were tested. A single control specimen was unstrings and eight specimens were strength with CFRP sheet on the tension face. A rigid steel projectile used to apply two dropping-weights of 150 kg as an impact load. The height of the drop was 5 meters. To determine punching shear capacity and critical velocity of perforation, different codes used and compared with the experimental results. The results of the experiments revealed that slab shear properties have a significant impact on their general behavior. Strength slab with carbon sheet enhances the behavior of RC slabs under impact loads and increases shear punching capacity.

Published: January 2022

Budaya dan agama adalah dua arahan kehidupan yang dekat dengan masyarakat Indonesia. Indonesia disebut sebagai negara beragama sekaligus negara yang kaya akan kearifan lokal yang mengatur bagaimana seharusnya manusia berlaku. Salah satu budaya yang akrab dengan keramahtamahan dan penuh dengan nilai moralitas di Indonesia adalah Sungkeman. Prinsip ini sejalan dengan Kekristenan yang menjunjung penghormatan kepada orang tua dan orang lain sebagai tindakan yang perlu tetap dilaksanakan. Budaya sungkeman sebagai nilai luhur mesti dilakukan dan dilestarikan oleh seluruh masyarakat Indonesia, terkhusus generasi muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi korelasi hukum taurat ke-15 yaitu menghormati orang tua dengan budaya Sungkeman Desa Samirono yang berimplikasi kepada bagaimana seharusnya seorang Kristen hidup dalam etika budaya, khususnya generasi muda. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil riset lapangan di Desa Samirono, Jawa Tengah. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan datanya terdiri dari wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa budaya Sungkem memiliki nilai implementatif sesuai hukum taurat ke-5 yang harus dilakukan setiap hari bukan hanya momen pernikahan dan lebaran Ketupat. Riset ini merekomendasikan agar internalisasi nilai-nilai menghormati sesama digemakan dalam ibadah-ibadah dan kelas-kelas pemuridan gereja, terkhusus bagi generasi muda yang sudah mulai terpapar arus globalisasi negatif.
Rheological Investigation of Lipid Polymer Hybrid Nanocarriers for Oral Delivery of Felodipine (Conference Paper )#
Authors: Drais Hayder Kadhim , Hussein Ahmed Abbas
Published: January 2022

The rheological behavior among factors that are present in Stokes law can be used to control the stability of the colloidal dispersion system. The felodipine lipid polymer hybrid nanocarriers  (LPHNs) is an interesting colloidal dispersion system that is used for rheological characteristic analysis. The LPHNs compose of polymeric components and lipids. This research aims to prepare oral felodipine LPHNs to investigate the effect of independent variables on the rheological behavior of the nanosystem. The microwave-based technique was used to prepare felodipine LPHNs (H1-H9) successfully. All the formulations enter the characterization process for particle size and PDI to ascertain the colloidal properties of the prepared nanosystem then use coaxial rotational digital rheometer for rheological evaluation. The outcomes show that all felodipine LPHNs formulations (H1-H9) had a nanosize and homogenous structure that ascertain colloidal features of the nanodispersion system. The rheogram chart indicates that all of the felodipine LPHNs formulations (H1-H9) show pseudoplastic flow (non-Newtonian flow) that have shear-thinning property. The microwave-based method prepares felodipine LPHNs formulations (H1-H9) that show excellent physical texture that ascertains its ability as a technique for the preparation of nanoparticles. All of the felodipine LPHNs formulations (H1-H9) show pseudoplastic flow that supports the physical stability of the nanosystem.
La vie politique française en 1978-9
Authors: Hoffman Stanley
Published: January 2022

Au lendemain des élections législatives de mars 1978, la vie politique française est caractérisée, une fois de plus, par un paradoxe. Lavictoire inattendue de la majorité a considérablement renforcé la position du Président de la République. Mais la majorité victorieuse n’a pas cessé de se déchirer. Curieusement, la bagarre entre le parti de M. Chirac et le parti du Président n’a fait que renforcer—pour le moment—l’aspect présidentiel du régime! Autre paradoxe: alors que les élections législatives devaient mettre fin à une longue série de votes (élection présidentielle de 1974. élections cantonales de 1976, municipales de 1977), la campagne pour l’élection de représentants français au Parlement européen en juin 1979 s’est tranformée en une sorte de grand référendum de politique intérieure.
Le triomphe du métier des armes : dynamique professionnelle et société militaire en France

Peu de thèmes sont aussi récurrents que celui de la résistance au changement dans l’année. « L’armée, par nature, écrit le colonel de Gaulle en 1934. est réfractaire aux changements. (...) Vivant de stabilité, de conformisme, de tradition, l’armée redoute, d’instinct, ce qui tend à modifier sa structure »’. Le cheval et la cavalerie montée se perpétuent au détriment de la motorisation, les militaires doutent des effets de la mitrailleuse et refusent de former des spécialistes de son maniement, les marins rejettent les bateaux à vapeur et la modification des pratiques professionnelles qu’implique leur adoption2. Les interets corporatistes déterminent les options organisationnelles, tactiques et stratégiques.
Jules Ferry et le modèle américain
Authors: Rudelle Odile
Published: January 2022

Il y a peut-être une gageure à vouloir confronter l’œuvre de Jules Ferry, homme d’état républicain de la Fin du XIXe siècle, à un « Modèle américain », qui avait été plus en vogue au début du siècle. A la différence de Chateaubriand ou Tocqueville. Jules Ferry qui a été un grand voyageur en Europe ou en Afrique du Nord, n’a pas traversé l’Atlantique. Pire encore, quand il en a eu l’occasion, en 1872, il l’a refusée. En effet, pour le reposer de la double tragédie du Siège et de la Commune de Paris où il avait failli perdre la vie. Monsieur Thiers lui avait proposé un poste d’ambassadeur à Washington. C’est Athènes qu’il préféra, tant l’Amérique lui paraissait lointaine, éloignée des « grandes affaires », où se jouait le destin de l’Europe des nouvelles nationalités. A l’heure des guerres balkaniques, il préférait se rapprocher de Constantinople et des grandes cours européennes où, après le désastre de Sedan et la chute de l’Empire, il espérait pouvoir œuvrer en faveur de la bonne la réputation d’une France républicaine, devenue paisible.
Les missions humanitaires et d’interposition devant l’histoire
Authors: Forcade Olivier
Published: January 2022

Casquées mais plus ou moins désarmées, les missions humanitaires et d’interposition surgissent dans l’après-Guerre froide. Convoquée et invoquée, l’Histoire, dans un débat public qui invite le citoyen à trancher entre Idealpolitik et Realpoiitik. serait une pièce à charge ou décharge dans le procès imaginaire ouvert à leur propos. Ces missions exprimeraient le sens et l’avenir des opérations confiées aux armées dans un contexte de crises internationales analysées, répertoriées, en quelque sorte idéalisées dans les scénarios-types du Livre blanc1. Or, l’Histoire, sans ambages, prive souvent les événements du sens que la modernité voudrait leur donner. Il semble bien que ce soit le cas ici : interposition, action humanitaire cl maintien de la paix ont déjà existé, et la comparaison à travers le temps ne peut être dénuée de sens. La traditionnelle recherche en paternité historique d’un fait de société invite toujours, par quelque astuce de la rhétorique ou de la pensée, à trouver dans le passé, ici ou là. un précédent heureux qui donne à la démonstration de l’instant sa profondeur et sa légitimité. Le procédé ne fournit en l’occurrence que bien peu de précédents significatifs.

La Situation Syndicale en France
Authors: Landier Hubert
Published: January 2022

Le climat social, vers le milieu de la seconde quinzaine du mois d’octobre, paraissait dominé par l’inquiétude et l’attentisme: peu de mouvements de grève à proprement parler mais en revanche, venant des structures intermédiaires des appareils syndicaux, une multiplication des signes d’impatience devant les perspectives d’une dégradation du pouvoir d’achat. Il faudrait cependant, pour que cette impatience débouche sur une “mobilisation”, que la crédibilité des organisations syndicales soit plus forte: or, le peu de crédit accordé au gouvernement s’étend aux Centrales syndicales compte-tenu du soutien que les deux plus importantes d’entre elles, la CGT et la CFDT, lui ont apporté. Il en résulte trois risques majeurs: celui d’un repliement sur soi-même qui, venant des salariés, déboucherait sur une perte d’efficacité dans le travail (démobilisation); celui d’explosions incontrôlées (grèves “ras-le-bol” sans objectifs définis); celui enfin d’une résurgence de l’extrême-gauche, et principalement de l’extrême-gauche trotskiste, devant la faillite des solutions politiques et syndicales traditionnelles et la compromission des grandes organisations.
Commentary
Authors: Weisskopf Thomas
Published: January 2022

Robert Boyer is one of a group of contemporary French political economists ( including inter allia Michael Aglietta, Alain Lipietz, and Jacques Mistral) who have enriched our understanding of the postwar experience of the advanced capitalist economies on both a theoretical and an empirical level. Their theoretical contributions are grounded in the concept of a “mode of regulation”, with which they characterize the institutional framework that shapes the trajectory of a capitalist economy over an extended period of time. This concept bears a close relationship to the concept of a “social structure of accumulation”, introduction by David Gordon and utilized by a school of contemporary American political economists (including inter alia Samuel Bowles, Richard Edwards, Michael Reich, and myself) to analyze the succession of major booms and crises that form a “longwave” pattern of capitalist ecomonic development

The Negros Occidental Coastal Wetlands Conservation Area (NOCWCA) is the Philippines’ 7th Ramsar Site of Wetlands of International Importance. It spans 89,607 ha comprising the municipal waters of 10 adjacent towns and municipalities. Its waters are part of the Guimaras Strait in the north and the Panay Gulf in the south. This research aimed to assess marine mammal diversity in these coastal wetlands. Marine mammal species here were documented through strandings, interview surveys, and boat surveys. Ten species of marine mammals, including the dugong (Dugong dugon), have stranded in the NOCWCA for the past ten years. Three species were encountered in the boat surveys: Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), Long-snouted spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris longirostris), and Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris). All species were encountered in close proximity to fishing boats, indicating possible interactions. The presence of these marine mammals here highlights the importance of these areas as essential habitats.
Gyenge műfajok: a költői versmérték és a jelentés közötti kapcsolat modellálása az orosz költészetben
Authors: Šeļa Artjoms , Orekhov Boris , Leibov Roman
Published: January 2022

A dolgozat egy már meglévő, „a versmérték jelentésmezőjeként” ismert költészetelmélet formalizálását kísérli meg, amely elmélet azt állítja, hogy a modern líra különböző metrikai formái bizonyos jelentésbeli asszociációkat halmoznak fel és őriznek meg. Az LDA témamodellező (topic modelling) algoritmussal vizsgáltuk az orosz költészet tág korpuszát (1750–1950), hogy ezáltal minden egyes verset egy tématérben, a versmértékeket pedig a témák valószínűségének eloszlása szerint reprezentáljunk. Nem felügyelt osztályozást és kiterjedt mintavételt alkalmazva megmutatjuk, hogy a verselési formákon belül és között erős a forma és a jelentés kapcsolata: ugyanahhoz a versmértékhez tartozó két minta sokszor nagyon is hasonlóként tűnik fel, és ugyanannak a családnak két verselési formája legtöbbször szintén egy klaszterbe kerül. Ez a kapcsolat akkor is kimutatható, ha a korpusz kronológiai szempontból ellenőrzött, és nem következménye a populáció méretének. Amellett érvelünk, hogy hasonló megközelítést nyelvek és költészetihagyományok szemantikai mezőinek összehasonlításakor is alkalmazni lehet, amelynek révén az irodalomtörténet legalapvetőbb kérdéseire adhatók releváns válaszok.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of the treatment with the twin block and modified twin block appliances in growing patients with Class 2 malocclusion.
Materials and Methods: A cephalometric analysis was performed in 51 patients. The twin block sample consisted of 23 patients, 10-girls and 13-boys (mean age 10.46±0.71 years at the start of treatment, T1, and 12.84±0.78 years at the end of active treatment, T2). The modified twin block sample consisted of 28 patients, 18 girls and 15 boys (mean age 11.78±0.91 years at T1, and 13.32±0.56 years at T2). The twin block activators were used during the day, except for eating time, and the modified ones were used only at night. Duration of the treatment was 16-20 months. The changes from T2 to T1 and the differences between the groups were compared with the analysis of variance.
Results: SNB angle in the twin block group showed 1.25±1.39 degrees change and in the modified twin block group, it exhibited 3.69±1.01 degrees change. Overjet in the group with twin block decreased 4.58±1.59 mm, and in the group with modified twin block it decreased 4.43±1.41 mm. In the modified twin block group, there was more retrusion of upper incisors in comparison with the twin block group. Accordingly, under the effect of modified twin block, retrusion of the upper lip was observed.
Conclusion: Through modifying the twin block appliance, it is possible to ensure the comfort of the patients by reducing the daily usage, to reposition the mandibula forward and to correct overjet and sagittal dento-skeletal relationships without increasing facial height and to improve positions of upper incisors and lips.

Authors: Zhan Weiping
Published: January 2022

Background: Currently, photon therapy is mainly used for radiotherapy, however, the long-term side effects of photon therapy are sometimes reported, especially in children, including cognitive decline, mental decline, growth retardation, endocrine dysfunction and secondary tumor.Compared with photon radiotherapy, proton therapy is a novel method of radiation therapy, which reduces acute and late radiation damage and improves patients’ quality of life. Therefore, we evaluated proton therapy on medulloblastoma patients by meta-analysis in this study. Materials and Methods: A clinical randomized controlled trial was conducted by retrieving the main databases PubMed (Medline), EMbase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese Zhi-wang (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and VIP Database. We analyzed the literature which matched the quality criteria for the prognostic impact of proton and photon therapy on medulloblastoma patients. Results: Ten articles were included in this study. The overall survival (OS) rate and side effects were comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that proton radiotherapy significantly reduced the side effects and recurrence rate of tumor. Conclusion: Proton therapy could significantly reduce the side effects and recurrence rate of medulloblastoma in patients.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain and impact on memory, thinking, behaviour and emotion. The most common is Alzheimer’s disease, which affects 50-60% of people with dementia. Other types of dementia include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and fronto-temporal dementia. Dementia can also sometimes affect people who are under the age of 65. This is known as young onset dementia. Our brains are made up of over 86 billion nerve cells – more than the stars in the Milky Way. Dementia damages nerve cells so they are no longer able to communicate effectively and this impacts on how our body functions.

Introduction: Choroid plexus papillomas are rare neuroepithelial tumors found primarily in children. It represents less than 1% of all central nervous system tumors. Materials and methods: A retrospective study including 14 patients with choroid plexus papilloma tumors were performed at the Neurosurgery Department in Ait IDDIR Health Hospital Establishment between January 2010 and December 2017. In each case, diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed radiologically and histo-pathologically. All patients were operated. Results and discussion: The mean age was 26 years (ranged 3 months –48 years) .In our department, we grouped together 14 cases of choroid plexus papilloma tumors. For mortality we had one case who died during surgery, survival rate for 04 years is 100% .We had not recurrence during the study period.All patients had intracranial hypertension (HIC) without neurological deficit and benefited from brain CT, MRI and an Angiography. The location of the tumor was: Lateral ventricle, Fourth ventricle, Third ventricle. All patients underwent surgical excision with or without ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. Conclusion: Choroid plexus papillomas are rare neuroepithelial tumors, typically considered benign lesions, derived from the choroid plexus and appear like cauliflower.

A Girl from Qatar with Post-Infantile Acquired Cerebral Palsy Caused By Submersion Injury: A Rare Etiology and a Therapeutic-Challenge.
Authors: Al-Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: January 2022

Background: Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous disorder that can cause a lifelong disability that is associated with a non-progressive damage in the brain. It is commonly caused by antenatal, perinatal, early postnatal and neonatal conditions. However, post-neonatal cases of acquired cerebral palsy have also been reported, and were commonly caused by infection. Patients and Methods: The family of a girl from Qatar, who developed severe cerebral palsy caused by submersion injury, consulted us about the possible therapies for her condition. Clinical picture and brain imaging abnormalities are described, and the relevant literatures were reviewed with the aim of suggesting possible evidence-based therapies. Results: At the age of 23 months, a previously healthy girl developed anoxic encephalopathy after experiencing submersion injury. MRI showed evidence of significant hypoxic ischemic injury primarily affecting the deep grey matter, hippocami, mid-brain and the posterior cortex. EEG showed diffuse slowness of cerebral activity and diffuse attenuation of the background without no epileptic abnormalities suggesting diffuse encephalopathy resulting from diffuse cortical injury. At the about age of three and half years, her family consulted us about her condition as she was still showing no awareness to the environment, showing no significant spontaneous movements. She had poor head control. Unable to sit or stand alone, and had a flexed posture. She was on levetiracetam (Keppra), diazepam, and baclofen 30 mg daily. She was still having tracheotomy, and was fed through gastrostomy tube. Conclusion: In this paper, the rare occurrence of severe post-infantile cerebral palsy is described. Emphasis is made on the possibility of using evidence-based multi-factorial therapies in cerebral palsy.
