Results of Adaptation of the Short Version of the Method of Expression of Cyberchondria in the Russian Sample
Authors: Deyneka O. S.
Published: March 2023

In recent years, our country and the whole world have faced a situation of a large-scale epidemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, which created favorable conditions for the development of cyberchondria. The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate the attention of researchers to the phenomenon of cyberchondria and to adapt the methodology for studying the severity of cyberchondria (CSS) in the Russian sample. The results of the exploratory factor analysis of the study data showed full compliance with the structure of the original questionnaire: 5 scales were identified, the validity of which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. All scales showed an acceptable level of reliability in terms of internal consistency. During the test of convergent validity, explainable relationships were found between the scales of the questionnaire and indicators of tolerance for uncertainty, psychological well-being and addiction to social networks.
Bibliometric Analysis of the Three-Volume Labor “Development of the Concepts of Modern Psychology” (2018–2021)
Authors: Zhuravlev A.
Published: March 2023

The article presents a bibliometric analysis of the concepts analyzed by scientists from the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and disclosed in three volumes of the work “Development of modern concepts of psychology” (2018, 2019 and 2021). The generalization carried out for all the presented concepts made it possible to put forward a hypothesis about the existence of metaconcepts — the subject and the collective subject, which pull together the network organization of conceptual fields, setting the architecture of their system-network organization. The conducted bibliometric analysis of the concepts of three volumes showed that the mapping of concepts makes it possible to identify clusters of network organization, among which there are two, which can be conditionally designated as “individual subject” and “collective subject”. Only the morpheme “psychologist-”, outstripping all the others in frequency of occurrence. These results may support the hypothesis of the existence of “meta-concepts” and their role in the system-network organization. Comparative analysis of the concept map based on the author's keywords of publications indexed in Scopus for five years, “contraction” of terms into complexes that can be designated as individual and collective subjects could not be found, while the analysis of articles in the same database by the same authors discovered two centers in 20 years. The individual and collective subject become central concepts, with multiple connections. The question of hierarchical conceptual organization remains open due to the limited possibilities of bibliometric analysis, which does not allow revealing such relationships between concepts. Bibliometric analysis made it possible to show the network organization of modern concepts, the existence of thematic conceptual fields and leave open the question of their system-network organization.
Russian-Language Adaptation of the Methodology of Diagnosing the Motives for Online Dating Servicesusage
Authors: Vorobieva А. Е.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the psychological aspects of online dating services usage and tools to study the motives of such services users. A theoretical analysis of Russian and foreign studies of online dating services users was carried out. The analysis showed that the general research interest is related to the personal characteristics of users and their self-presentation strategies in such services. Among foreign researchers, it is common to study the characteristics of sexual behavior and motivation of users as well as their perception of the confidentiality of data provided to such services. There were no Russian-language works on the problem of motives for online dating services using. Due to the lack of Russian-language tools the Tinder Motives Scale methodology developed by E. Timmermans, E. de Kaluwe was selected for adaptation. A Russian-language adaptation and verification of the psychometric properties of the technique was made on a sample of 3540 (2255 male, aged 18 to 60+). This allowed us to offer a valid and reliable, shortened (from 58 to 22 points) and modified Russian-language version of the methodology for diagnosing the motives for online dating services using. The scale “Material motivation” was added. Scales “Flirting / communication skills development”, “Travel” “Belonging to a group”, “Pressure of friends”, “Search for people with the same sexual orientation”, “Distraction from business” and “Curiosity” were not confirmed.
The Temptation of Not Being or Ontological Roots of Technological Outsourcing
Authors: Smirnov Sergey
Published: March 2023

This article gives an ontological interpretation of so-called technological outsourcing. It understands the latter as a trend of labour and role delegation from humans to machines. The author posits that the trend of techno outsourcing is not autonomous but a continuation of an earlier phenomenon, namely the ontological temptation or the temptation of not being. The article show cases a number of reasons, capable of compelling a person to chose not to be. Those serve as a basis for author’s next point, that the ontological temptation is exacerbated by recent technological developments. The author draws on Baudrillard and Heidegger for philosophical foundations. According to Baudrillard the temptation is rooted in an attraction, a human experiences towards pure but hollow form, they consider to be attainable as a commodity. According to Heidegger a human is bereft of essence and is supposed to occur as an event. They are given a chance to be. It is up to a human to seize this chance of pass on it. Being is a risky venture, and there are reasons not to undertake it. Those risks lead to humans reducing their state of being. The article describes such an attempt, traceable to Descartes, of reducing a human to a actor, substantiating themselves. The article claims that when a human is reduced to a function the fear of unfulfillment drives them to give in to a temptation of not being.
The Generic Essence of Man: toward a Methodology of Analysis
Authors: Momdzhyan Karen Kh.
Published: March 2023

The article considers methodological problems arising in the analysis of the generic essence of man. The author considers man as a substantive system, the essential properties of which are determined by the way of self-purpose existence in the environment, which is the activity of the social subject. The author identifies three dimensions of human essence — generic, historical and personal, considers the relationship and relationship between these taxonomic projections of anthropic reality. The article emphasizes the multidimensionality of man, existing in substantially different worlds, and elucidates the correlation and connection between the social and biological components of human life. The author links the fundamental ethological difference between the objects of living nature and man to the specifics of informational mechanisms of behavior, the presence of human abstract-logical, verbal-conceptual thinking, which changes the basic parameters of the human way of life ((including the mode of instrumental adaptation to the environment). The article criticizes the position of biological reductionism, which denies a qualitative difference between informational orientation of humans and highly developed animals. The point of view that reduces human thinking to the neural activity of the brain and denies the existence of free will in humans — the ability to motivational expertise and the free choice of behavioral reactions to non-alternative drives is criticized. The author considers the impact of biological factors on the procedures of goal setting and goal realization, which (factors) affect human behavior, but do not predetermine it.
An Effective Model of Countering Terrorist Danger: Successful Experience of Mauritania
Authors: Melkonyan Lusine
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the approaches of the Mauritanian authorities to the fight against terrorism. While the countries of the Sahel region are suffering from a crisis caused by the actions of jihadist groups, Mauritania has become a positive exception in this regard. There have been no major terrorist attacks there in the last 10 years, although there are significant problems in the country that make it vulnerable to extremism. These are unresolved political issues, huge social and ethnic differences, and the weakness of the economy. The terrorist group Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which has been organizing terrorist attacks in the country since 2005 and recruiting young Mauritanians into the ranks of jihadists, tried to take advantage of the numerous problems of Mauritania and the popularity of political Islam there. The peak of terrorist activity in Mauritania was 2005–2011, when more than ten attacks were carried out. Since coming to power in 2009, President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz began the formation of a new anti-terrorist strategy that took into account both the Algerian experience and the Mauritanian realities. This strategy was complex in nature and included both military measures and “soft approaches”. Among the military measures, a successful military reform should be noted, affecting military education, increasing the mobility of the armed forces and the capabilities of special forces units. The approach of the Mauritanian authorities to the internal religious and political arena has also undergone a radical change. In addition to offering dialogue to hardliners and the legalization of the Islamist Tevassul party, the approach aimed at involving the nomadic population of remote desert areas in the public space of Mauritania has fully justified itself.

СОПОСТАВИТЕЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ФРАЗЕОЛОГИЗМОВ С КОМПОНЕНТОМ «УХО» (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ТУРЕЦКОГО И РУССКОГО ЯЗЫКОВ)
Authors: PAŞALIOĞLU Canan
Published: March 2023

Мировоззрение нации определяется языком, на котором говорят люди. Язык отражает и сохраняет традиции, обычаи, ценности, верования и культуру нации и передаёт эти знания в будущее. У каждого народа есть свой язык, с которым связана его культура, создающая идентичность этого общества и несущая в себе историческую память. Одним из средств, отражающих мысли и культурные взгляды общества, несомненно, являются идиомы - фразеологизмы. Лингвокультурология, основанная на идеях таких исследователей, как В. фон Гумбольдт, Л. Вайсбергер, Э. Сепир и Б. Уорф, И. А. Бодуэн де Куртенэ и А.А. Потебня, представляет собой активно развивающуюся отрасль языкознания, которая фокусируется на взаимосвязи языка и культуры. Она выявляет культурные элементы, скрытые в языковых единицах. Она исследует взаимосвязь языка, культуры и человека, и изучает следы культуры народа, отразившиеся в языке. В лингвокультурологии одним из основных понятий является кодом культуры, который представляет собой систему знаков и фиксируется в языковом сознании. С точки зрения лингвокультурологии коды культуры носят национально культурные смыслы. Можно выделить такие коды культуры как антропный (маменькин сынок), зооморфный (ломовая лошадь, лошадиная сила), временной (в кои-то веки), пространственный (во всю ширь), предметный (до последней капли крови), цветовой (видеть в розовом цвете), природный (между двух огней) и т.д. Одним из этих кодов является, соматический код (нос к носу, закрывать глаза), занимающий особое место в системе культурных кодов. Каждое название органа, т. е. соматизм, имеет разнообразные коннотации, что указывает на особенности истории и культуры народа. Соматические фразеологизмы исследуются лингвокультурологией в совокупности культурных смыслов. Целью настоящей работы является выявить специфичные черты турецкой и русской языковой картины мира, и использован сопоставительный метод в рамках лингвокультурологического подхода. Идиомы - фразеологизмы и устойчивые выражения турецкого и русского языков с компонентом соматического кода «ухо» рассматриваются сравнительно. Мы попытались раскрыть культурные значения, скрытые в турецких и русских идиомах - фразеологизмах, на конкретных примерах. В результате проведенного исследования мы обнаружили сходства и различия языковых картин мира русского и турецкого обществ, имеющих разные верования, культуры и языковые картины мира.
Mitigating organizational decision making amidst the dragging effect
Authors: Otara Alfred
Published: March 2023

Decision-making in organizations is still a challenging process, and organizational management must implement some tactics to make things simpler and the decision-making process more efficient. Each organization deals with a number of internal and external variables that either directly or indirectly affect decision-making in many cases. This paper argues that while some organizations employ qualitative and quantitative methodologies to forecast the outcome of potential situations, some organizations use the quality management framework as a decision-making tool. Organizations equally encounter numerous obstacles and hurdles as they seek to make wise judgments. This implies that decisions can be expressed as gains or losses or as a benchmark by which the various possibilities can be measured. Finally the paper observes that the quality of decision-making depends on clearly defining the goals, offering choices for resolving issues, and considering and balancing values and interests.

Запропонована стаття зосереджується на вивченні особливостей застосування перекладацьких трансформацій, до яких вдаються тлумачі, намагаючись відтворити мовою перекладу здобутки поетичного текту мови джерела. Складність перекладу поетичних текстів вважається неспростовною аксіомою поміж теоретиками та практиками перекладацького цеху. Більшість дослідників вважають, що перекладач має бути також і поетом, як за покликанням, так і за фахом. Водночас, відмінні аспекти мов світу: фонетичні, морфологічні, лексичні, синтаксичні, стилістичні значно ускладнюють працю перекладача. Проте, аксіомою залишається й надзвичайна важливість прагматичного впливу тексту перекладу на потенційного реципієнта. Адекватне тлумачення елементів віршотворення на різних мовних рівнях є викликом для перекладача, проте успішне подолання цих викликів є запорукою адекватності перекладу.

В роботі представлено аналіз 67 історій хвороб пацієнтів (військовослужбовців Збройних Сил України), котрі перебували на стаціонарному лікуванні у Військово-медичному клінічному центрі (ВМКЦ) Південного регіону (ПР) м. Умань з 09.03.2022 р. по 24.12.2022 р. з синдромом невдалого оперативного лікування спини (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome – FBSS). В зв`язку з повномасштабним вторгненням рф в Україну, особи, котрі відповідно до Розкладу хвороб, станів та фізичних вад, що визначають ступінь придатності до військової служби з категорії непридатний до військової служби в мирний час, автоматично перейшли в категорію обмежено придатний у воєнний час [1]. До лав ЗС України було призвано багато громадян України з наслідками невдалого оперативного лікування спини (НОЛС). Всі вони з часом почали звертатися до невролога, зокрема, після тривалого носіння бронежилету (БЖ). Технології хірургічного лікування кил міжхребцевих дисків (МХД) поперекового відділу хребта (ПВХ) прогресивно розвиваються, при цьому основним напрямком удосконалення є прагнення мінімізувати травматичність операційного доступу, не знижуючи радикальність операції. На сьогодні мікродискектомія є золотим стандартом у лікуванні дискогенних захворювань поперекового і крижового відділів хребта (ПКВХ), та доведена її висока ефективність. Однак при зіставленні результатів оперативних втручань за цією методикою різних авторів виявлено значну їх розбіжність: співвідношення задовільних і незадовільних результатів, співвідношення ускладнень у ранньому та пізньому післяопераційному періоді. Епідуральний фіброз є частою причиною синдрому невдало оперованого хребта.

Published: March 2023

The influence of age and live weight at conception on the consumption of metabolizable energy and crude protein during 6 months of pregnancy, processes of their growth and development was studied. The gain of live weight of springer heifers during the first three months of pregnancy was determined to be 67,0±3,66 kg in group I, 65,0±5,26 kg in group II and 49,0±4,40 kg in group III. Studying the growing power of the animals during 0-3 months (92 days) of pregnancy, the springer heifers of groups I and II were found to be superior to the herdmates of the group III by 196g and 174g or 26,9 and 24,4% (p<0,01) in terms of the average daily gain. Comparing the characteristics of the live weight gain at 4-6 months (92 days) of pregnancy, the springer heifers of groups I and II were found to be significantly superior to their analogues in group III by 29.0 and 28.0 kg. The springer heifers of groups I and II outweighed their herdmates of group III by 316 and 305 g or 43,4% and 47,5% (p<0,001) in terms of the average daily gain. It is necessary to underline that animals of groups I and II had higher gain of live weight during the whole experimental period by 47,0 and 43,0 kg or 58 and 53% as compared to the analogues of group III.
According to the results of multicriteria analysis, for group I the objective function was determined to be lower and was 0.0359 on the examined criteria, while the objective functions of groups II and III were worse at 1.4 and 12.1 respectively. At the same time, the animals in group II were 8.6 times superior to their analogues in group III. It indicates the superiority of animals in groups I and II with a productive mating age of 14.8-15.3 months and a live weight of 373-414 kg. They had a more intensive gain of live weight during pregnancy and spent less energy and crude protein feed per kilo of gain.
The linear, partial quadratic and partial quadratic regressions were developed to describe the correlation between the increase of live weight of heifers and their age and live weight at the time of conceiving and the consumed metabolizable energy and crude protein for 6 months of pregnancy.
The season of the year was determined to have no significant impact on the heifers' development during the pregnancy period in the herd and their further milk productivity.
The Legality of Devious Cyber Practices: Readiness of Indonesia's Cyber Laws
Authors: Manullang Sardjana Orba
Published: March 2023

The ever-expanding Indonesian cyberspace has ushered in significant economic growth to the country’s online business and e-commerce. This is due to the country’s rising internet penetration rate of 73% of its total population, with about 204 million people connected to the internet. This high connectivity has brought about several positive socio-economic opportunities but with other thorny issues like cybercrime, misinformation, cyber-induced intolerance, disinformation, trolling and cyber warfare. Despite the Indonesian government’s intervention with measures to regulate cyber activities, some devious cyber practices undefined in legal literature continue to be practiced, even passed as legitimate, sometimes leading to negative consequences. These practices are often conducted as organized operations that target populations to create mistrust and polarize the targeted population. Some are crafted as cyber warfare declared by entities within a country or from a foreign country targeting another’s populace, which poses a threat to social order. This paper explores these devious cyber practices and their strategies and mitigation possibilities. A sociological research approach coupled with the use of law enforcement theory was applied to study and analyze Indonesia’s cyber security law enforcement policies, the Internet and Electronic Transaction (ITE) Law, the Criminal Prosecution Act, the Constitutional law, civil society actors and private sector actors on cyber security. Indonesian law and international law, coupled with available technology, were reviewed for readiness to address threats posed by these devious cyber issues to social order. Measures taken by the Indonesian government are in readiness to combat these cyberspace issues in its jurisdiction but also present more questions on the proposals for reviews to the legislation and introduction of content monitoring systems, which risk being inappropriately deployed in censorships or suppression of legitimate freedom of expression.

Objective: The Observation and Interview Based Diurnal Sleepiness Inventory (ODSI) is a valid 3-item tool used for assessment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the ODSI in the Turkish language.Methods: Linguistic validation of the ODSI was performed by forward-backward translation. The Turkish version of the ODSI and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were administered in EDS and control groups.Results: The ODSI was tested in 106 older patients. The median age of the patients was 73 (65–89) years and 55.7% were female. The EDS group was older and more dependent on instrumental activities of daily living than the control group. The inter-rater reliability of the ODSI was high (interclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.851, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.540–0.958, p<0.001). Test-retest reliability was also high for the total sample (ICC: 0.871, 95% CI: 0.632–0.959, p<0.001). Positive strong correlations were found with the ESS (Speraman’s rho=0.876, 95% bootstrap CI [0.813–0.918], p<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.968 (95% CI: 0.937–0.998), a cutoff score of ≥6, a sensitivity of 94.1%, a specificity of 87.6%, a positive predictive value of 76.55%, and a negative predictive value of 97.2%.Conclusion: Our data validate the ODSI for application in Turkish-speaking populations. The simplicity, reliability, and the apparent lack of relevant influences of cultural background on performance of the 3-item ODSI make it a valuable tool for clinical management and research.

Globally, as the advancement and mainstreaming of Technology become more perversive, ICTs have become agents of change transforming the way we conduct and perceive human activities to sustain and promote the quality of life. It is also no surprise that today’s technology pros control everything from telephone system to software compliance and disaster recovery that seem to become sole candidates for change. For instance, todays ICTs have been integrated in modern lifestyles and has become perversive in everything from telephone networking, automated security systems, software compliance and backups to disaster recovery platforms and Internet of Things. Additionally, one may argue that it is no longer feasible or rapidly becoming obsolete to solely rely on manual systems to predict potential threats such as natural and man-made disasters. Thus implementing early warning systems, communities play an important role in leveraging ICTs potential to generate warning hazards through automated systems that escalates emergency notifications to rescue and mitigation teams. Using a positivist approach with methodological triangulation at data collection and analysis, this study assessed automated flood disaster alert systems in Zambia with specific reference to Mbeta Island in Sioma. The study was informed by Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) theoretical framework with questionnaires and interviews as measurement instruments to assess factors that led to the adoption of the alert system installed in Mbeta Island. Study findings showed varying impact of independent variables: Effort expectancy 6.2%, Performance expectancy 11.8%, Facilitating conditions 4.4% and Social influences 2.6% respectively. The total impact showed there were factors left out in the implementation of the alert system and that there is a need to adopt a new and robust disaster mitigation system that would allow for integration of community needs and everyday challenges in relation to natural and man-made disasters.

This research discusses the global significance of digitalization and its impact on carbon emissions in the context of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). It highlights the fact that digitalization is deeply ingrained in all aspects of daily life and is a critical component of future development. However, the energy consumption associated with digital tools and social media platforms is a major contributor to carbon emissions. The paper examines the relationship between internet usage and social media activities and their impact on carbon emissions. Regression analysis conducted using ANOVA was used to support the finding that demonstrates that energy consumption from the increasing use of the internet, digital tools, devices and social media platforms are the primary determinant of carbon emissions from digitalization. The study, therefore, concludes that the increasing use of digital technology in the 4IR will lead to higher levels of daily carbon dioxide emissions and that there is a need for clean energy sources, as well as research on sustainable digitalization practices, in order to mitigate this impact. Overall, the paper emphasizes the importance of addressing the carbon emissions caused by digitalization and that these efforts should be supported by industries, governments, and individuals in order to achieve a sustainable future.

Background:Tyrosin kinase inhibitors (TKI) are used as a targeted therapy for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Increasing use of TKI has been associated with hypertension, proteinuria and acute kidney injury. There are only afew reports of adults with TK -inhibitor associated nephrotic syndrome.But TK inhibitor associated Nephrotic syndrome is very rare in paediatric age group.
Case:A -6- year old boy presented with fever, anaemia, splenomegaly, leucocytosis and finally diagnosed as accelerated phase of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) by bone marrow study.He achieved clinical and haematological remission with Imatinib. But developed generalized oedema and was found to have massive proteinuria and microscopic haematuria after three and half months. Renal biopsy revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Imatinib along with Prednisolone, 60 mg/m2/ day was added to treat nephrotic syndrome. Imatinib discontinued as the patient did not achieve complete remission. After one week of Imatinib withdrawal and five weeks of daily prednisolone the boy attained complete remission of nephrotic syndrome.
Conclusion:Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors are important therapies in paediatric cancer and their use is expanding. Timely recognition of renal adverse effectsfor TK inhibitors can aid in the proper management of cancer patients.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) heralds a bad outcome. Directly acting antiviral (DAA) drugs sofosbuvir along with daclatasvir are very effective in the management of HCV infection. Sofosbuvir is excreted mainly through the kidneys. There is sparse data worldwide on the use of sofosbuvir based drug regimens in ESRD patients having chronic hepatitis C (CHC) virus infection.This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of half dose sofosbuvir in the management of HCV infection in ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted among 125 ESRD patients on MHD at Gonoshasthaya dialysis center, Dhanmondi, Dhaka from July 2019 to June 2022. Total 125 HCV positive patient with ESRD on MHD were included in this study; all the patients underwent HCV-RNA PCR test. Patients with detectable HCV RNA were observed for six months without antiviral drugs to identify the occurrence of spontaneous clearance of virus. Patients who had detectable HCV-RNA after six months were treated with sofosbuvir(200 mg) and daclatasvir (60 mg), irrespective of genotype. The drugs were given daily for 12 weeks. All the patients were on regular follow up at two weeks interval. Blood counts, liver function, creatinine phosphokinase and serum amylase values were evaluated periodically; virological response was assessed by HCV-RNA after 12 weeks of antiviral treatment.
Results: During the observation period, 29 (23.2%) patients had spontaneous virus clearance with an undetectable HCV-RNA.  In the remaining 96 patients, the median HCV-RNA level was 2.76×104 (1.56 ×103– 1.89×106)I IU. Twelve weeks after the treatment, 91 (94.8%) patients achieved sustained virological response (SVR) with undetectable HCV-RNA. All patients tolerated the DAAs well and none of the patients reported any serious adverse events. No patient discontinued antiviral therapy due to side effects. Patients who attained SVR with DAA, after 6 months we repeated HCV-RNA in 30 patients, in majority of them (28, 93.3%), HCV-RNA were undetected but in 2 (6.7%) patients,HCV-RNA were detected again.
Conclusion: Daclatasvir along with half-dose sofosbuvir are safe and effective in the treatment of CHC patients with ESRD on MHD. Half dose sofosbuvir regimen can reduce the cost of treatment of HCV in ESRD patients in developing countries like Bangladesh, where cost is a significant barrier to HCV treatment.

Published: March 2023

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects about 15% of mothers. It is a serious disorder that may affect physical and mental health of new mothers and newborns. Mothers suffering from anemia and vitamin D deficiency may be at increased risk of developing PPD.
Aim: Our study aimed to detect the association of anaemia and Vit D deficiency with postpartum depression & also to look at association of other maternal and perinatal complications.
Materials & methods: In this cross sectional observational study, pregnant women having anemia (Hb% <11gm/dl), were grouped as A (n=141), pregnant women having low Vit D were grouped as B (n=28), and pregnant women with normal Hb% and normal Vit D were grouped as grouped C (n=58). A & B were taken as cases and group C was taken as control in the study.  Depression was evaluated by using Edinburg postnatal depression rating scale, P <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Also secondary outcome like PPH, wound infection, Apgar score, preterm birth neonatal admission were noted down.
Results: Depression was found significantly higher in both A= 60.3% and B =14.2%, than group C =0% (p<0.0001). Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and wound infection were found higher for group A (58% & 13%), Group B (28 &3%) respectively than control group C (5 &2%). Interestingly all women with VitD deficiency had postpartal haemorrhage (PPH). Regarding neonatal outcome, APGAR score was low in A (38%) and B (10.7%) in compare to control group C (0%). NICU Admission was seen higher in A=26% & B=10.7% than for C=0%. Incidence of Preterm birth (PTB) for A =25% & B= 2% were significantly higher than group C= 0%. No stillbirth was found in any group.
Conclusion: Prevention, identification and treatment of anaemia and Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women seem necessary, as they are strongly associated with postpartum depression and other complications.

Published: March 2023

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a relatively common pregnancy disorder that causes variable maternal and fetal problems. This may increase the number of perinatal asphyxia, sepsis, still birth etc. It also has a significant affect on birth weight which is also related to gestational age. Objectives: To observe the impact of pregnancy induced hypertension on their newborn babies and compare the findings with the babies of normotensive mother. Materias and Methods: This case control study was conducted from July 2016 to December 2016. The study group was selected from the babies of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) mothers and control group selected from babies of a normotensive mother attending in Obstetrics department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka having the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The total number of 100 neonates were included consecutively in this study. 50 neonates born to mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension were grouped as cases and 50 neonates born to normotensive mothers were grouped as control. Results: The study revealed that, the highest frequency of neonatal morbidities were perinatal asphyxia (22%) among the babies of PIH mother. Stillbirth it was found 12 % . The duration of pregnancy were also affected by PIH where most of the babies were preterm (88%) and complete-term pregnancy found only (12%). It should be mentioned that those mother having history of preeclampsia delivered more premature babies (p <0.001). Another important outcome birth weight related to gestational age was also very important which were measured as the highest for SGA 92% and AGA 8%. The weight of the baby were significantly (p<0.001) reduced in those who had a history of PIH and the mean weight was 1592.78 ± 470.06. Conclusion: Prematurity, Small for gestational-age babies and perinatal asphyxia are more common in Pregnancy induced hypertension group than in the normotensive group.

Published: March 2023

Background: Obesity is an important cause for human morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity and its co-morbidities among school teachers in Dhaka city. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from May 2017 to October of 2017. Total 250 school teachers aged between 25-59 years were enrolled using cluster random sampling technique. Data on socio-demographic profile, co-morbidities, weight, height and blood pressure were recorded. Results: The prevalence of obesity among school teachers was 15.2%. The mean age of the participants was 46.1±8.2 years. Female teachers were more obese compared to male (20% vs 5.9%), this association was statistically significant (p=0.001). Majority obese participants belonging to the age group of 41-59 years with higher prevalence among female compared to male (25.2% vs 5.8%), this was statistically significant (p=0.030). About 53% obese teachers had hypertension (HTN). On the other hand, Pre-HTN was observed more among obese participants (42.1%) compared to overweight (14.8%). About one third of overweight and obese participants were diabetic (30.6% and 34.2% respectively) and dyslipidaemic (21.5% and 23.7% respectively). Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity and its co-morbidities such as HTN, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidaemia etc was high among the study participants. By promoting healthy life style and behaviors can reduce the burden of obesity and its co-morbidities.
