Fouille de la partie est de Boncuklu Tarla : nouvelles données sur la fin du PPNA dans la vallée du haut Tigre
Authors: Kodaş Ergül
Published: September 2022

Le site de Boncuklu Tarla, dans la province de Mardin en Turquie, a été identifié en 2008 et est fouillé depuis 2012. Ces fouilles représentent une nouvelle occasion de retracer la chronologie complète du Néolithique précéramique dans la vallée du haut Tigre en raison de la présence de couches archéologiques allant de l’Épipaléolithique à la fin du PPNB récent. Dans la partie est de Boncuklu Tarla, les restes archéologiques du PPNA nous permettent également de voir l’architecture communautaire, domestique et l’organisation spatiale du village dans le contexte chronologique du Xe millénaire. Dans cette zone, nous avons identifié un bâtiment communautaire entouré de maisons. Des sépultures du PPNA ont été mises au jour dans ce secteur ainsi que du matériel lithique et des objets de prestige en pierre et en os. Ces données nouvelles nous permettent d’approfondir notre connaissance de la culture matérielle de la fin du Xe millénaire dans la vallée du haut Tigre.
La céramique romaine du iiie siècle de l’îlot C11 à Europos-Doura (Syrie)
Authors: Tuffreau-Libre Marie , Huchin Raphaël , Boniteau José
Published: September 2022

Cet article présente les premiers résultats des études céramologiques que nous avons effectuées sur le matériel issu des fouilles récentes de la ville d’Europos-Doura (Syrie). Les ensembles décrits, homogènes et bien datés, proviennent des maisons 1 et 2 de l’îlot C11, situées au sud-est de la ville ; ils correspondent à la période d’abandon de la ville, au milieu du iiie siècle de notre ère. Ils nous apportent de nombreuses précisions sur les catégories de céramiques en usage à cette époque : la céramique glaçurée, la Brittle Ware et la céramique commune à pâte claire. Pour la première fois, nous disposons de données quantitatives qui mettent en évidence l’importance de la céramique commune et relativisent l’importance, du moins dans ce quartier de la ville, de l’African Red Slip Ware et de la céramique glaçurée de tradition parthe. Les importations provenant des régions de l’Ouest sont rares. Les comparaisons avec les sites de la vallée de l’Euphrate suggèrent l’existence au iiie siècle d’un faciès régional ancré dans les traditions de la Mésopotamie.
Les forts romains de Palmyrène : étude de sept plans inédits
Authors: Thébault Gérard
Published: September 2022

Cet article présente les plans originaux de sept enceintes de camps romains de Palmyrène dressés par l’auteur, deux de brique crue et cinq en pierre présentant toutes des tours d’angle en éventail. L’analyse des tours révèle un même principe géométrique et montre que leur plan s’aligne sur les parements intérieurs des courtines, ce qui indique que ces lignes jouent un rôle clé dans la composition du plan des forts. On constate que les surfaces intra muros des forts sont en relation simple. On en déduit qu’il faut étudier séparément l’espace intérieur du fort et le tracé de son enceinte avant de rechercher ce qui les unit. Un carré de 150 pieds de 29,6 cm de côté, observé à Khan-Hallabat, révèle les dimensions des enceintes exprimées en unités romaines et constitue une référence utile à l’analyse des enceintes comme celle de Dmeyr.
Telemedicine's Role in Pandemic Response and Control Measures
Authors: Shetu Sabakun Naher , Jannat Takrima
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has changed the conventional method of interacting with healthcare personnel. The rapid adaptation of telemedicine facilities has commuted alternative medical facilities in emergency circumstances. The physicians, nurses, and patients all are adopting telemedicine rapidly under this COVID-19 health system pressure. The reduction of PPE usage increases in video consultations is the positive result of using telemedicine. Nevertheless, front-liners also confront some challenges of using telemedicine including proper infrastructure facilities, lack of physical examination, patient's privacy, and proper diagnosis. Telemedicine-specific legislation must be implemented to ensure patient digital security and set appropriate prices for e-health treatment. These simple e-health technologies may allow infected COVID-19 patients to communicate with one another and acquire relevant health information more readily, resulting in a higher quality of life and better mental health.
Management and functional outcome of intramedullary spinal cord tumors: A prospective clinical study
Authors: Kumar Raj , Banerjee Sumit
Published: September 2022

Aim: Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCT) are rare neoplasms of central nervous system but require proper evaluation and management to ensure a good outcome. This study was carried out to evaluate the functional outcome of IMSCT following surgery and to decipher the factors affecting optimal outcome of these cases. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical study was carried out at a tertiary care center from 2003 to 2012. Forty three patients with intramedullary tumors diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging were included. Their clinical details, neurological findings and demographic data were recorded. The patients were then subjected to surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patients were followedup clinically and radiologically, and all parameters examined and recorded. Results: Sensory and motor impairment was present preoperatively in majority of patients (n = 39 and n = 38, 90.7% and 88.4%, respectively). Gross total excision was performed in 30 cases (69.76%). The most common histological diagnosis was ependymoma (n = 21, 48.8%). Postoperatively 32 patients (74.4%) were in McCormick functional Grade I or II improving from 13 cases (30.2%) in Grade I or II preoperatively. Fifteen of 17 patients in Medical Research Council (MRC) Grade III and 10 out of 12 patients in Grade MRC IV improved. No mortality was recorded during the entire period of follow-up (mean: 22, range: 3-96 months). Eight patients (18.6%) had recurrence till the last follow-up visit. Conclusions: Preoperative neurological grade was the most important predictor of functional outcome. Gross tumor excision was the best surgical modality to improve event free survival. High-grade tumors had higher rates of recurrence but no effect on functional outcome.
Utility of PRESS Score in Predicting the Outcomes of Children Admitted with Respiratory Distress
Authors: Jagalamarri Vanitha Lakshmi , Balleda Lokeswari , Kolla Sravani , Chandra Sekhara Reddy Thimmapuram
Published: September 2022

Background:

Respiratory distress in children must be promptly recognized and aggressively treated because they decompensate quickly leading to adverse outcomes.

Objectives:

To determine the outcomes of children admitted with respiratory distress based on PRESS score.

Study Design:

A prospective study which was done between September 2018 and March 2020. A total of 90 children of age group 1 month to 10 years with respiratory distress at the time of admission.

Intervention:

The PRESS scoring was done and outcomes measured which included use of Respiratory support [nasal cannula, high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), mechanical ventilation (MV)], duration of ICU and hospital stay.

Results:

Compared to moderate PRESS score, children with severe PRESS score had significantly more admission in PICU (91.30% vs 64.18%, P = 0.016); significantly more number of days of hospital stay (7 vs 5, P = 0.001); significantly more number of days of ICU stay (5 vs 3, P<.0001); significantly more median days of respiratory support (4 vs 3, P<.0001); significantly more use of respiratory support (67 vs 23patients, P < 0.0003) and more HFNC usage (73.91% vs 20.90%, P<.0001). However there was comparable requirement of mechanical ventilation between the two groups (8.7% vs 0%, P = 0.063).

Conclusion:

PRESS score can be a useful respiratory scoring system in triaging the children at the time of admission and in predicting the requirement of respiratory support and duration of hospital stay. It probably may serve as a useful tool at the community level to consider referral to an appropriate health facility in view of its simplicity.
Sarcopenia and impairment in global cognitive, delayed memory, and olfactory function, among community-dwelling adults, in Jakarta, Indonesia: Active aging study
Authors: Handajani Yvonne Suzy , Butterfill Elisabeth Schröder , Hengky Antoninus , Sugiyono Sagita Pratiwi , Lamadong Vincent , Turana Yuda
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

This study aimed to investigate the association of sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults with chronic conditions, lipid profiles, and cognitive ability measured by multiple assessment tools.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study involved 398 older adults aged 60 years and older who resided in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study participants were visited and interviewed by trained interviewers in the subdistrict office. Participants were clinically examined using a standardized protocol, which included the participants’ medical history, general physical examination, cognitive assessment, and blood test for lipid profile. Sarcopenia was measured using three components that were muscle strength (measured by handgrip strength), physical performance (measured by 6-m walk speed), and appendicular skeletal mass (measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis). Association was tested using multivariate logistic regression and reported as an odds ratio.

Results:

Sarcopenia was significantly associated with older age (adjusted odd ratio [AOR]: 2.91, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22–3.95) and smoking (AOR: 6.53, 95% CI: 2.89–14.73). Global cognitive impairment, word list recall impairment, and olfactory dysfunction have 191% (95% CI: 1.28–6.66), 141% (95% CI: 1.12–5.2), and 100% (95% CI: 1.11–3.61) increase of odds of having sarcopenia, respectively.

Conclusion:

Global cognitive impairment, word list recall impairment, and olfactory dysfunction could be the predictors of sarcopenia. Strategies and implementations directed more toward the improvement of cognitive impairment might improve or prevent sarcopenia. However, the exact causality between both variables still needs to be explored further.
Hierarchical hyperbolicity of graph products
Authors: Berlyne Daniel , Russell Jacob
Published: September 2022

We show that any graph product of finitely generated groups is hierarchically hyperbolic relative to its vertex groups. We apply this result to answer two questions of Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto: we show that the syllable metric on any graph product forms a hierarchically hyperbolic space, and that graph products of hierarchically hyperbolic groups are themselves hierarchically hyperbolic groups. This last result is a strengthening of a result of Berlai and Robbio by removing the need for extra hypotheses on the vertex groups.We also answer two questions of Genevois about the geometry of the electrification of a graph product of finite groups.

Published: September 2022

Production planning is a very important activity for companies in considering production factors ranging from the number of products that must be produced, when the product must be completed, and other things needed. Improper production planning risks causing losses to the company because the use of production costs and profit estimates are not optimized. One method that can be used in optimizing production planning is the fuzzy goal programming method. Fuzzy goal programming is an extension of linear programming that can solve problems of more than one goal in the presence of target constraints. This study aims to examine and apply the fuzzy goal programming method which is solved by the simplex method in Ayune Kitchen production planning by maximizing revenue and minimizing raw material costs. The data used in this study include product data (comb bread, dulce, brulee, mentai, lasagna, and briyani rice), production prices, and raw materials for making products from Ayune Kitchen which will be analyzed using linear programming and fuzzy goal programming methods. simplex. The result of this research is the optimal income that will be obtained by Ayune Kitchen is Rp. 8.830.000 and the optimal expenditure incurred by Ayune Kitchen to purchase raw materials is Rp. 6.687.821

Authors: Minov Sergey
Published: September 2022

This essay focuses on one particular aspect of Jewish-Christian relations during the Sasanian period, namely various types of interaction between the two religious groups in the domain of magic. For that purpose, two distinctive bodies of textual evidence are examined: hagiographical literature produced by Syriac Christians, and Aramaic magic bowls, Jewish as well as Christian. Illuminating and complementing each other, the two corpora shed light on the dual dynamics of competition and cooperation between Jews and Christians in the field of popular religion.

Reframing Experiential Education
Authors: Welch Marshall
Published: September 2022

This article invites the reader to reframe the traditional perspective of experiential education to a broader conceptualization of community engagement in which various stakeholders, in addition to students, are the beneficiaries of the learning experience. In addition to acknowledging and celebrating the pedagogical approach, this narrative also provides a friendly critique of our traditional and perhaps somewhat limited perspective ofexperiential education. Challenges and potential detrimental impact are considered, coupled with approaches on how to minimize those issues.
Operationalizing the Roles of Experiential Learning
Authors: Lewandowski Adam M. , DePalma Debbie G. , Englund Rebecca S. , Cartwright Melissa M.
Published: September 2022

This article focuses on the partnership between Discovery Charter School of Rochester, New York, founded in 2011, and Nazareth College Partners for Learning. The Partners for Learning program engages Nazareth College students in partnerships with the children, teachers, and staff of eight urban sites. The authors examine the four critical roles that work to foster program success: (1) Associate Director for the Center for Civic Engagement, (2) Student Site Coordinator, (3) Site Representative, and (4) Classroom Teacher. We describe each of the four roles, how the roles support experiential learning, and, most importantly, how we consistently collaborate to ensure success for all parties. We have gathered multiple forms of reflection, and we share data focusing on the impact of student learning for both personal and professional growth. Finally, Discovery Charter School students describe what having a Partner in their classroom means to them, how the Partners have improvedtheir learning, and how the relationships that have formed over the semester/ year(s) have had an impact on them.
Integrating High Impact Practices
Authors: Rivera Jeno , Loebick Karla
Published: September 2022

In the era of educational accountability, the push to document and demonstrate student learning increases exponentially. Creating opportunities for students to evidence their learning and, more broadly, the value of a college education, is critically important to both internal and external higher education stakeholders. While ePortfolios are an increasingly common tool used to provide evidence of learning, little is known about their effectiveness in assessing integrated learning experiences. The Bailey Scholars Program, an interdisciplinary, self-directed, student-centered learning community at Michigan State University, fosters creativity among faculty and students. The program explores innovative approaches to documenting and assessing learning that are responsive to student needs for life after the program while also being attentive to the uniqueness of a self-directed learning environment. One approach taken by the program is the community-wide use of ePortfolios. In this article, we argue that learning ePortfolios are a high impact practice that has the potential to change the ways students and programs partner to demonstrate and document student learning. We identify issues to take into account when adopting ePortfolio technology, and we include discussion of the attributes of ePortfolios that document both the learning and the obstacles students face while they are using ePortfolios.

Authors: Rudychev V.G. , Azarenkov M.O. , Girka I.O. , Lazurik V.T. , Rudychev Y.V.
Published: September 2022

Variants of the formation of bremsstrahlung (BS) distributions along an extended converter, which ensures the maximum thickness of an object under two-sided and four-sided irradiation, are studied. For the target of the TaH2OFe converter, the thicknesses of the Pb filter were determined, at which the average BS energy increases by more than 25%. In the PENELOPE package, the simulation of dose distributions in polyethylene produced by BS converters with optimal targets: previously used TaH2OFe and proposed by us TaH2OFePb, for 7.5 MeV electron energy, was performed. For four-sided irradiation, a technique for optimizing the distribution of the BS intensity along an extended converter is proposed. The combined use of the TaH2OFePb target and optimal BS intensity distributions along an extended converter makes it possible to increase the thickness of objects by a factor of ~ 1.35 under four-sided irradiation, DUR < 1.5.

Adaptación del Método Iconológico para el estudio de la arquitectura neoclásica guatemalteca
Authors: Milian Solórzano Angel Orlando
Published: September 2022

OBJETIVO: presentar el resultado de la adaptación del método iconológico de Erwin Panofsky a la arquitectura religiosa de estilo neoclásico en la Ciudad de Guatemala. MÉTODO: con la finalidad de desarrollar dicha adaptación, se empleó el mismo modelo Iconológico de Panofsky y las adaptaciones de Rudolf Wittkower, además de propuestas más recientes como la del Dr. José Terán proveniente de la historia del arte mexicana. Todo el proceso de integración de estos métodos se realizó en el marco de procedimientos de la Teoría Fundamentada. RESULTADOS: se obtuvo un proceso metodológico iconográfico, basado inicialmente en el análisis del edificio neoclásico que guarda varios niveles simbólicos, sus implicaciones simbólicas y los agregados históricos; tomando en cuenta diversos factores como el hecho de que en el producto artístico convergen dos sistemas iconográficos distintos, a saber, el clásico y el cristiano, pero también hay modificaciones históricas. CONCLUSIÓN: la adaptación metodológica clarifica aspectos de las construcciones neoclásicas, que adoptaron símbolos clásicos proveyéndoles una interpretación cristiana, llenando el gusto por la línea sobria y racional, de un estilo contrapuesto ideológicamente al barroco en un momento histórico; como el sentir religioso que se manifestó en el catolicismo guatemalteco, con la heráldica eclesial y los símbolos tradicionales de dos pensamientos distintos.
Conceptualizaciones de los estudiantes del magisterio sobre sexualidad y género en Argentina
Authors: Peltz Mariano
Published: September 2022

OBJETIVO: analizar los discursos y los saberes sobre sexualidades y géneros de las futuras y futuros docentes con anterioridad y posterioridad al cursado del taller de educación sexual integral. MÉTODO: se trata de una investigación cualitativa de carácter exploratoria y descriptiva ya que los datos recolectados surgieron a partir de las historias orales y las conductas observables de las entrevistadas y entrevistados. El diseño flexible fue microetnográfico y fenomenológico. Se eligieron dos instituciones de formación docente y el muestreo elegido fue el cualitativo propositivo y no probabilístico seleccionando redes de informantes a través de las unidades de análisis seleccionadas: el estudiantado. En cuanto a la técnica, se utilizaron entrevistas semiestructuras con un guión determinado pero flexible que posibilitó nuevas preguntas y respuestas abiertas. RESULTADOS: se evidenciaron cambios conceptuales orientados a una coeducación, basada en la expresión libre de las identidades sexogenéricas pero también resistencias e implementación, a partir de prácticas discursivas difundidas, de estereotipos relacionados con el sexismo y las injusticias sexuales. CONCLUSIÓN: para que esta transformación resulte significativa y esperanzadora hacia una real educación inclusiva, resulta prioritario atender a la diversidad del colectivo educativo; trabajar sobre sus conceptualizaciones, creencias y valoraciones como así también desarticular matrices discursivas de corte heterocentrada y normativa.

Nagabala -Arjunadi Yoga, is the combination of Nagabala and Arjuna Churna mentioned in Chakradatta, Hridroga Chikitsa, is prepared by giving Bhavana of Rasonadi Kwatha. Hridroga (cardiovascular disorders) are the most common health concern of the present era. It is the leading cause of death worldwide. Ancient Samhitas contain many formulations in the context of Hridroga, whose applicability is unexplored. Churna and Kwatha are the main dosage forms used in clinical practice. But compared to Churna and Kwatha, tablets are more patient compatible in terms of palatability and possess increased shelf life.
