Published: April 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender as teorias curriculares e compreender os sentidos do currículo para a comunidade escolar, esses que nos instiga saber quais as intencionalidades das teorias curriculares e suas influências na educação e no ensino. Nos procedimentos metodológicos, enveredamos pela abordagem qualitativa, num estudo de caráter bibliográfico. Buscamos nos estudos de Kliebard (2011), Silva (2010) os fundamentos e a discussão dos aspectos tradicionais do currículo, na perspectiva crítica de currículo. Com isso, trazermos Freire (2000) Arroyo (2013), Silva (2010) Giroux (1997) apontando suas contradições, e no pós-estruturalismo buscamos em Silva (2010), Lopes e Macedo (2011), entre outros, dialogar com as diferentes abordagens. As reflexões tecidas neste estudo evidenciam a relevância de conhecer as teorias curriculares em seu processo histórico a começar pelo desenvolvimento industrial, isto é, numa trajetória sócio-política-cultural, pois, a compreensão das teorias de currículo possibilita o entendimento da dinâmica da realidade educacional e se faz necessária nos espaços formativos em que buscamos conhecer seus fundamentos, desvelando suas intencionalidades nas relações estabelecidas no cotidiano escolar, esse que se faz por meio dos discursos ideológicos e do saber-poder.

Atualmente, no ensino superior brasileiro, há uma crescente nos movimentos de reestruturação acadêmica que priorizam a inovação pedagógica e curricular dos cursos universitários, intensificados por políticas públicas e que se traduzem em projetos políticos-pedagógicos de curso que salientam o conceito de interdisciplinaridade e a indissociabilidade entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão.  Neste contexto, a organização curricular intenciona a articulação dos diferentes conhecimentos através de eixos que permitam que o conhecimento se construa de maneira integral a partir das variadas epistemologias das áreas. Isto posto, este artigo tem por objetivo contribuir de maneira teórica e conceitual para a reflexão de estratégias teórico-metodológicas que colaborem com a promover de rupturas paradigmáticas no que concerne à inovação, a interdisciplinaridade, ao currículo e à criação de projetos que sejam balizados em uma perspectiva emancipatória. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter qualitativo que, sob a ótica da Pedagogia Universitária, discorre sobre os modelos de organização interdisciplinar no ensino superior e apresenta reflexões derivadas de oficinas pedagógicas realizadas com coordenadores de curso e professores universitários. É possível constatar que, para a elaboração de currículos interdisciplinares que se efetivem em projetos pedagógicos de curso estruturados e articulados por este preceito, é necessário definir um conjunto de princípios que devem orientar as decisões institucionais, bem como a clareza de que uma organização curricular potente e interdisciplinar excede uma visão disciplinar e/ou compartimentalizada de ensino superior.

Fast and accurate determination of creatinine is critical in kidney function diagnostics. This paper discusses the usage of the metal-organic framework based on copper(II) and acetylenedicarboxylic acid (CuADCA) as a catalyst of electrochemical oxidation of creatinine, glucose and urea. CuADCA was synthesized by deprotonation with triethylamine for the first time. Successful synthesis was confirmed by FTIR and EDS. The material was characterized by SEM, EIS, and CV. CuADCA forms laminated-like flakes with diameter from 1 µm to 20 µm, which is consistent with the polymer-like structure. CV and EIS analyses showed that CuADCA immobilized on GCE acts as a catalyst in electrooxidation reaction of glucose, urea, and creatinine. The sensitivity of creatinine detection, 1057±99 µA/mM, was higher than the detection sensitivity of glucose and urea by more than 100 times with the limit of detection of 2 µM, so CuADCA is a promising material for further development of enzymeless sensors for creatinine.

Published: April 2023

The kinetics of solid-state oxidation by air of iron, copper and zinc sulfide natural mixture, which is typical of the pyritic copper ores, is investigated. Using the high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, it was found that the process can be represented by five exothermic elementary reactions, corresponding to intensive burning of iron, copper and zinc sulfides, and two endothermic ones, associated with decomposition of copper and iron sulfates. Kinetic analysis is performed by Kissinger and Augis–Bennett methods, the model-free function mechanism was determined from y(α) master plots and iterative optimization of the kinetic parameters. The limiting steps of these reactions are nucleation and crystal growth, and the values of activation energy, pre-exponential factor and Avrami exponent are in the ranges of 140–459 kJ·mol–1, 1.41·104–3.49·1031 s–1, and 1.0–1.7, respectively. Crystallization is followed by an increase in the number of nuclei, which may be formed both at the interface and in the bulk of the ore particles, and crystal growth is one-dimensional and controlled by a chemical reaction at the phase boundary or diffusion. The results of the work can contribute to the development of theoretical ideas about the physicochemical transformations of pyritic ores and concentrates during pyrometallurgical operations.

Developmental States in Africa: The Mauritian Miracle
Authors: KEDİR Anwar Seman
Published: April 2023

A developmental state is both a theoretical construct and a description of the political economy of certain nations, primarily in East Asia, over a specified time period. Theoretically, a developmental state is a particular type of state with a high degree of autonomy and solid institutional competence, allowing it to undertake a series of effective state-interventionist policies in pursuit of developmental objectives. Statism and state autonomy underpin the conceptual framework of the developmental state. The developmental state defied the neoclassical orthodoxy in development economics. Despite lacking the attributes of the mainstream neoclassical consensus in development economics and facing an uphill battle from such institutions, developmental states in various regions of the world have achieved high levels of economic growth. This study seeks to investigate the developmental state trajectories of Mauritius in relation to vital elements of developmental states. In an effort to do so, this study poses the following question: "What accounts for Mauritius' development state success in Africa?". By looking at the link between institutional building and economic performance, the study finds that Mauritius has replicated key developmental state institutions, including embedded and autonomous bureaucracy, making it one of Africa’s most successful developmental states.
THE CONCEPTOSPHERE OF THE SACRED IN THE COLLECTION "GARDEN OF DIVINE SONGS" BY HRIHORY SKOVORODA
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Syvets Tetiana
Published: April 2023

The collection of metaphysical poems by Hrihory Skovoroda "The Garden of Divine Songs" is considered from the standpoint of biblical hermeneutics and cognitive literary studies. The question of the relevance of the study of baroque lyrics through the use of modern literary methods is clarified. The expediency of using the concepts "concept" and "Christian concept" in relation to the study of the sphere of the sacred is determined. Particular attention is paid to the variety of approaches found in scientific studies of the "sacred" as a category. Analysis of poems from the collection - 30 (thirty) - presented in the form of a table with the definition of ideas, main concepts and conceptual metaphors. On the basis of the conceptual analysis, the basic concepts that form the conceptual sphere of the sacred in the collection "Garden of Divine Songs" and explained in other philosophical and poetic works of the Ukrainian artist are highlighted, namely: SIN AND ATONEMENT, GOD (CHRIST, SPIRIT), FREEDOM, HAPPINESS, SALVATION, CROSS and others. Since hermeneutic analysis is connected with the universality of linguistic structures, it seems natural to combine it with conceptual analysis in order to clarify the textual meanings in metaphysical lyrics, which, in fact, is mostly expressed by hidden signs, symbols and authorial hints in the form of intertextual inlays. The artistic interpretation of the text, which is assumed by the hermeneutic analysis, is closely related to the cognitive and evaluative characteristics of both the hidden meanings themselves and the determination of the degree of the "author's presence" in the artistic text. Therefore, the axiological component mutually determines the application of conceptual analysis, and as a result, the definition of the conceptosphere of the sacred in the above-mentioned collection of poems. Special attention is paid to the figure of Hrihory Skovoroda as an extraordinary creative nature and baroque personality who was ahead of his time and remains relevant both by himself and by his creative achievements to this day.
STRUCTURE AND TYPOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT OF THE "RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR 2022-2023" MEDIA EVENT IN FRENCH TELEVISION DISCOURSE
Authors:   Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Frolyak Lyubov , Froliak Myroslava ,   Ivan Franko National University in Lviv
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the problems of axiological characterization of a media event as a part of the media picture of the world, which arises in the process of intercultural communication. The axiological characteristics are presented as a necessary constituent element of a media event, which participates in its formation. The structure of evaluation of the media event "Russian-Ukrainian war 2022-2023" in French television discourse is considered, the types of evaluation based on its relationship to the object of the evaluation characteristics and the types of evaluation based on the relationship to the subject of evaluation are identified. It was established that the media event "war in Ukraine" as an object of assessment in the audiovisual text of the analytical and informational telecast is significantly more complex in its structure than the real event, as it also includes elements that arise in the media discourse. As a result of the analysis of the types of subjects of the evaluation characteristics of the war in Ukraine as a media event in the French television discourse, it was found that the main subject of evaluation in the analytical and informative audiovisual text is a professional expert, a political scientist, that is, a person who possesses professional objectivity, authority and professional experience, which affects the formation of the evaluation of the event in the media picture of the world of the addressee of television broadcasting. In order to establish the types of assessment based on its relationship to its subject, which are included in the system of axiological characteristics of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022-2023, the assessment statements of heads of state, famous politicians, representatives of world organizations from countries whose interests are affected by the war in Ukraine were also considered. It was found that the introduction to the text of the assessment of a media event, the subject of assessment of which is a well-known political or socio-cultural figure, takes place with the help of the constructions of direct and indirect transmission of someone else's speech with an indication of the subject of the speech and the source of information. It is noted that a separate type of evaluation of a media event is represented by evaluation statements of direct participants of real events that have acquired the status of media events. Prospects for further research into the structure and typology of media event evaluation have been determined.
CINEMATOGRAPHIC TRANSPOSITION OF CERVANTES’S CODE IN DON QUIXOTE BY ORSON WELLES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Shestopal Olga
Published: April 2023

The article is dedicated to the problem of transposition of the Cervantes’s Code in the cinematographic adaptation of the novel Don Quixote by Orson Welles (1957-1992). The study focuses on identifying and revealing the aesthetic and ideological kinship of the film adaptation of the American director with the work of the Spanish writer, as well as on the analysis of methods and mechanisms of actualization of the main thematic, problematic, structural and narrative aspects of the novel of Cervantes at various levels of the Welles’s cinematic poetics. Welles retains the "intellectual" skepticism of Cervantes, but demostrates a greater affinity with the romantic tradition of reading this text, which at his time dominated the cinematic and scientific-critical discourse. The actualization of the anachronism of Don Quixote as one of the key thematic codes of Cervantes's novel is carried out by transferring the action of the novel to the Francoist Spain. The structure of the film reproduces the plot mostly on the basis of the first volume. Working in the "manner of Cervantes", the author of the cinematic adaptation uses a wide range of ludic, metatextual and metanarrative techniques that reveal the "auto-reflexivity" of his text. In addition, Welles' adaptation of Don Quixote transposes the linguistic and stylistic codes of the Spanish author's novel by using the cinematic montage techniques, oblique angle shots, and stylized mise-en-scène (in-depth). Those features, in turn, demonstrate the inherent kinship with the baroque style of the second volume. Welles stresses the ambivalence inherent in Cervantes's text: he criticizes modernity, but uses its achievements (especially the cinema) to implement his own utopian cultural program of the new knight of cinema. Welles's film chosen as the object of our study essentially and aesthetically remains "faithful" to the original and at the same time contributes to a deeper understanding of the Cervantes’s code in the modern media space and culture in particular. The film reveals the ability of Cervantes's code to adapt to modern communication technologies and changes in life (cinema, advertising, tourism) that not only present Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as anachronisms, but also ensure their immortality, proving the validity of Welles's idea who states that they are heroes for all ages.
General Overview of the Earliest Aztec Codices
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Stadnik Marie
Published: April 2023

The importance of Mesoamerican codices as sources for studying the history and culture of the civilizations of this region is difficult to overestimate. More than 300 manuscripts, the origin of which is associated with the Mexica (Aztec) culture have survived to this day. Among other peoples of Mesoamerica, the conquerors from the Old World were the most interested exactly in the Aztecs. The Europeans studied indigenous language, culture and customs in order to know and understand their enemy. Traditional local books (codices) served as both a source of information and a means of influence. They were carefully studied, copied, translated and shipped to the Old World. The attitude of the colonial authorities towards such manuscripts was ambiguous. On the one hand, many codices were destroyed by the Catholic Inquisition as part of a campaign to eliminate traditional beliefs. On the other hand, the authorities actively sponsored the creation of new books, ordered them from local masters and reproduced them. Almost all surviving documents of this type were written after the conquest of the region, so only a few of the earliest manuscripts still embody the original artistic tradition. By studying them, we can trace how local customs are changing and gradually displacing under the influence of European culture. The article, based on the English- and Spanish-language scientific literature, as well as visual sources, contains basic information about the five earliest Aztec codices. Their alternative names and modern place of storage are specified, physical characteristics are given, the history of manuscripts, their content and artistic features are indicated. The work also highlights different views of modern researchers on the problem of dating those codices, the exact time of creation of which has not yet been finally established. Not a single Aztec manuscript that is unanimously recognized by scholars as pre-colonial has survived. The most ancient of them, according to the vast majority of researchers, were created either immediately before the Conquest, or in the first years after its start. On the basis of analyzed sources and literature, it was established that four of the five codices considered in this work to a greater or lesser degree contain obvious traces of European culture’s influence. The article also notes the importance of studying the Mesoamerican codices as sources on the history and culture of the region, with particular emphasis on the relevance of this problem in the Ukrainian-speaking scientific space.
Pragmatic analysis of the phraseological unit ¡calla ho!
Authors: MENÉNDEZ DÍAZ LLUCÍA
Published: April 2023

Certain areas of the language don’t attain a complete characterization until they are analyzed through the pragmatic perspective: phraseology is an example of this. This is why we decided to do a phraseopragmatic analysis of the idiomatic expression ¡calla ho!. At first, we pay attention to that expression as a phraseological unit, that is, as a completely institutionalized segment that shows fixation and semantic specialization. Next, we analyze the elements that compose it and the individual meaning of each of them in order to discern the motivation shown by the union of the two elements and the translating meaning that derives from it. Finally, the pragmatic analysis is developed taking into account the contexts of use through Austins’s speech acts theory, that is, in some cases the speech constitutes an exercitive act and in others a behabitive act.
For this purpose, we use spontaneous speech samples that represent the contexts in which this phraseological unit can be found, with the aim of providing a description of the different uses and communicative values that it shows. These samples are taken from WhatsApp conversations, since this type of communication channel, like other chats, is characterized by communicative immediacy, regardless of the elapsed time between the emission and reception of the message, in contrast to other media that a priori may seem similar, such as email.

Analysis of anti-avoidance measures in the tax system of the post-Soviet countries
Authors: Zhuravleva I. A.
Published: April 2023

Purpose: of the article is to analyze anti-avoidance measures within the international tax policy and national tax systems of the countries of the post-Soviet space based on the provisions of the BEPS plan and other international events.

Methods: the methodological basis of the study is the principles of analytical justification, a systematic approach, and a process approach. General scientific methods were used in the study - generalization, measurement, comparison, induction, deduction, statistical observations, system analysis. The regulatory framework of the article includes international treaties, laws of the Russian Federation and the post-Soviet countries.

Results: the article provides a comprehensive system analysis of legal international acts and documents in the field of taxation of the post-Soviet countries, implemented in the national and foreign tax policy. The study reveals the priority directions of anti-retrogression measures of these countries in the context of growing geopolitical tensions, which determine their behavior in the economic Eurasian integration cooperation. Conceptual analysis of the effectiveness and functionality of the concluded agreements on the avoidance of double taxation and relevant treaties, international directives and regulations on the international exchange of tax information and the provisions of the BEPS plan, reports of tax and finance ministries and departments responsible for the implementation of national international tax policy on anti- avoidance measures, international treaties, the official websites of executive authorities of the postSoviet countries, responsible for the implementation and implementation of the provisions of the BEPS plan, made it possible to identify the priority areas of the external tax policies of the studied countries, to propose topics for scientific discussion and to identify current provisions in the international tax field.

Conclusions and Relevance: the study demonstrated the desire of the post-Soviet countries to improve domestic and foreign tax policies, but revealed existing problems, in particular, the risks of insufficient tax collection, erosion of the tax base, the use of aggressive tax planning, the impact of the political situation for the openness and friendliness of international tax policy, low managerial potential in tax and legal environment, high costs of tax administration in order to digitalize the proposed mechanisms.
Application of systems analysis for reconstruction of the model of cross-border resource flows and collaboration in R&D under the influence of sanctions
Authors: Nikonova A. A.
Published: April 2023

Purpose:of the article is to form assessments based on system analysis to determine with whom Russia needs to interact in a situation of severe sanctions both in an open economy and whithin the framework of an open innovation model.

Methods:the provisions of the system-economic paradigm and methods of an system analysis are applied to the economy, business, state, scientific, technical, infrastructural, social environment.

Results:the results of a system analysis of the conditions and factors influencing the reconstruction of the model of cross-border resource flows and scientific and technical cooperation under the influence of sanctions are presented. The hypothesis is confirmed that the replacement of high-tech imports from the EU with supplies from China, India and other developing countries cannot be considered as a systemic solution in the long term, but can to a certain extent serve the Russia's technological security; maintain the stability of the production cycle in the Russian economy during fluctuations. This is illustrated by empirical evidence for the flow of energy resources and goods between countries and R&D collaboration. Arguments are given to substantiate the hypothesis about the strengthening of the influence of relationship factors, the interests of the parties, the human factor on the change in resource flows and the nature of scientific and technological cooperation due to the growing uncertainty of the situation. Variants of the influence of the relationship factor are considered from a systemic standpoint: on the one hand, as an adaptive, shaping factor of a turn towards Asian countries; on the other hand, as destructive, in which each of the parties pursues its own interests.

Conclusionsand Relevance: the results of the analysis confirm the relevance of the traditional recommendation to structurally and geographically diversify cross-border interactions based on the principle of a parity exchange of resources for advanced technologies and high-tech goods. The results of the analysis are consistent with the findings of leading scientists and experts in this field and can be used to make agile decisions about anti-crisis policy, national strategies, international interactions, and R&D collaboration.
The Political Economy of the US-China Cybersecurity Relations and Trade War Under the Trump Administration
Authors: Huda Miftahul , Fadhat Faris Al -
Published: April 2023

This article examines the cybersecurity relations between China and the US under the Trump administration. It explores the changes in the US cybersecurity policy in 2019, where the US government took a protectionist approach to ban the operation of China’s software and hardware in the US, and how such a decision predisposes the trade war between the two countries, which President Trump previously started. Appling the political economy approach of the cybersecurity concept, this research argues that the protectionist cybersecurity policy by the Trump administration was driven by the US business interest followed by security concern to lead the global technological transformation, balance the international economy, and preserve the US citizen’s big data.  Such policy, nevertheless, has intensified the trade war between the US and China, specifically in the technology and big data sectors. This study contributes to the broader literature on cybersecurity that has been much discussed in recent years.

Authors: M. Tozammel Hoque  , M. Rokeya Satter  , M. Mozammel Hoque  , M. Saidur Rahman
Published: April 2023

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a complex behavior of maladaptive response to acute and chronic stress, and likely to be suffering from mental health problems as well as co-morbid general medical conditions, including several non-suicidal intentions to suicide. DSH is previously included in suicide. Sir Thomas Browne first used the word ‘suicide’ in 1642 in his religion Medici. The word suicide originated from SUI (of oneself) and CAEDES (murder). According to WHO ‘suicide’ refers to the act of killing oneself intentionally, performed by the person with full knowledge or expectation of the fatal outcome. This study aimed to analyze the stress factors and pattern of psychiatric disorders among patients with DSH.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of medicine; emergency and OPD, Rangpur medical college, Rangpur, Bangladesh. Study conducted for 1 year; July 2008-June 2009. A total of 116 DSH cases included in study as per inclusion criteria. Convenience sampling technique was undertaken in this study.
Result: The majority of patients are in the age group of 20-39 years, with 70% in a psychiatric disorder, and in the 40-59 years age group 7.778% have a psychiatric disorder. Age has a significant relationship with DSH (p<0.001). The 90 patients were suffering from psychiatric disorders among them 61 (67.778%) were suffering from depressive episodes, 12 (13.333%) were suffering from a personality disorder, 8 (8.889%) were suffering from mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance abuse, 7 (7.778%) were suffering from schizophrenia, 1 (01.111%) were suffering from adjustment disorder, 1 (1.111%) suffering from bipolar disorder.
Conclusions: Out of 116 responders 90 (77.586%) were suffering from a psychiatric disorder. Among the patients with psychiatric disorders, 61 (67.778%) patients were found to be suffering from a depressive episode, which was 52.568% of total DSH cases and is an almost treatable disorder.

Published: April 2023

The success of artificial insemination (AI) depends on the equipment used, especially regarding the facilitation of artificial insemination technicians’ work and the positioning of insemination guns in the genital tract of animals. This study aimed to evaluate how vaginal specula and artificial insemination technicians affected the fertility rates of timed artificially inseminated Serrana Transmontano goats (which are indigenous to Portugal). For this, 58 adult nanny-goats aged between three and nine years were used. They were reproductively controlled by a short progestogen treatment (FGA) (seven days) with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG). Timed cervical AI (43 hours after the end of the hormonal treatment) was performed with chilled semen. Nanny-goats were inseminated by two artificial insemination technicians (A vs. B) alternating two vaginal specula (Minitub vs. “Reyes”). Pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound 41 days later. About 98% of nanny-goats responded to our treatment with FGA and eCG. In total, 82.8% of nanny-goats were pregnant 41 days after AI. Neither vaginal specula (Minitub: 81.2% vs. “Reyes”: 84.6%) nor artificial insemination technicians (A: 82.8% vs. B: 82.8%) affected fertility rates.

This article aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact of globalization processes on the formation of civil servants’ legal culture. The methodological basis for the analysis was the integrated use of general and special scientific research methods. It was found that globalization significantly affects the transformation, change, and improvement of state and legal institutions, as well as norms and relations at the global, macro-regional, and intra-national levels; also, it stimulates, accelerates, and renews the universalization in the state and legal sphere. Moreover, it was determined that there is a need to constantly improve civil servants’ professional skills and increase their professional competencies. In addition, it was proved that signs of high legal awareness and legal culture are not only indicators of high public activity but should also be a priority in state formation because legal awareness, legal culture, and ethical culture are social guarantees of the rule of law in society. Accordingly, there is a need to increase the rule of law index, which is a reflection of the micro level of globalization, by improving the legal culture of the population and civil servants in particular. The role and importance of globalization in the development of the rule of law are growing every year. At the same time, there have been no separate studies on the impact of globalization on the formation of civil servants’ legal culture, which determines the relevance of the study.

Neutrophils are innate immune system phagocytes that play a central role in immunity defense. They are equipped with effective antimicrobial that is mainly stored in specialized granules. Considering that, it can also damage host tissue. Neutrophil deployment is heavily regulated through various strategies, including phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species, production degranulation, and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). This review article will discuss its role in inflammatory, autoimmune diseases, and cancer and place it as a therapeutic target. It depicts that NET formation includes a suicide program morphologically different from other types of cell death, such as apoptosis and necrosis. Besides, NETs have unique DNA and antimicrobial peptide structures, and antimicrobial activity is among the functions of neutrophils as the first response to inflammation. So, it plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, especially inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. As a result, it can be effective in the pathogenesis of many diseases, and its pathogenic role can be used as a therapeutic target.

Background: Giardia duodenalis and Blastocystis hominis are among the most common intestinal protozoa worldwide. Treatment of infection by metronidazole (MTZ) has some limitations. The objective of this study was to detect the prevalence of Blastocystis and giardiasis among school-age children from December 2021 till March 2022 from Motoubes, Kafrelsheikh, Egypt, and determine the efficacy of nitazoxanide (NTZ), NTZ plus garlic and tinidazole (TIN) on Blastocystis and giardiasis infection.
Methods: Stool samples were collected from 390 children and microscopically examined using formalin-ethyl acetate concentration and culturing on Jones' medium for B. hominis. Those who tested positive for giardiasis (120 children, 30.7%) (Group I) or Blastocystis (180 children, 46.1%) (Group II) were equally divided into four subgroups. The first subgroup received NTZ orally, every 12 hours for three successive days. The second subgroup received NTZ in the same dose as the first subgroup plus dry garlic powder every 12 hours for three successive days. The third subgroup received TIN as a single oral dose, and a fourth control subgroup. Successful cure was considered if no Blastocystis or giardiasis stages were found in post-treatment faecal specimens.
Results: Cure rate was significantly higher in TIN treated groups (75.5% and 96.6%) than NTZ (57.7% and 40% ) or NTZ plus garlic treated groups ( 55.5% and 43%) in both Blastocystis and giardiasis, respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusion: TIN, once, is more efficacious than NTZ or NTZ plus garlic in the treatment of Blastocystis and giardiasis in children.

Background: Hydatid cyst, caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus, is one of the most severe cestode infections occurring in Iran. The liver is the most commonly involved organ. The present study was carried out to review the demographic of 20 years surgically treated hydatic cysts.
Methods: Ninety-eight patients were enrolled in the study. Demographic features, time of surgery, cyst size, and albendazole usage have been reviewed from the medical records of patients in Loghman Hakim Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2001 to 2021. Statistical analysis was performed to find any correlation between the uses of concurrent albendazole with surgical procedure.
Results: Of 98 patients with hydatid cyst, 57 (58.2%) were female. The mean age of patients was 39.4 ± 18.7 yrs, and the mean surgery time was 217.5 ±   81.4 minutes. Regarding the infection site, the liver (60.2%) and lungs (22.4%) were the most affected organs, respectively. 56.1% of patients had one cyst, and 42.9 % had two or more cysts. 20.4% of them had taken albendazole before surgery, but 86.7 % took it after the operation. No recurrent cysts were seen among 91.8% of them, but 8.2% mentioned suffering from a recurrent cyst. 85.7% of those recurrent cases did not receive albendazole before surgery, and 75% of recurrent cases after surgery did not take albendazole (P<0.05).
Conclusion:  Administration of albendazole before and after the operation was significantly related to reduced recurrence, bleeding, morbidity, and even the time of surgery.

Introduction: Chronic pain is a serious secondary problem for many individuals with disabilities.
Materials and Methods: A total of 231 disabled athletes invited to compete in a multi-  sport national sports tournament for para-athletes in Ahvaz, Iran, participated in the study     to be investigated whether spinal pain (SP) prevalence and characteristics are different  among different sports and disabilities. Athletes’ demographic information, SP prevalence, characteristics, and disability using the athlete disability index questionnaire were obtained. SP prevalence, characteristics, and factors affecting SP intensity and disability caused by low back pain (LBP) were determined as primary outcome measures before data collection.
Results: The mean (95% confidence intervals) disability percentage and LBP intensity score were 22.2% (19.2-25.3) and 2.14(1.84-2.47) of 10, respectively. The highest LBP intensity was among physical fitness participants and patients with spinal lesions. Weightlifting athletes and athletes with arm movement limitations had the highest disability. The mean (95% confidence intervals) neck pain intensity score was 2.16(1.80-2.54).
Conclusion: A high prevalence of SP was observed among most disabilities and sports. Although its intensity is rarely severe among a population of any disability or sports, it is undeniably disabling among the vulnerable population of para-athletes.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Persian Medicine-based dietary protocol (PM diet) in patients infected with COVID-19. A randomized clinical trial was performed from July 2020 to January 2021 in Tehran, Iran. Eighty patients admitted due to pulmonary dysfunction caused by COVID-19 were randomly allocated into two groups: the PM diet or the common hospital (CH) diet. Eight beds in 2 rooms were considered for each group. Patients were randomly hospitalized in these rooms and received these diets up to discharge or death.. Oxygen saturation level and duration of hospitalization, the rate of mortality, duration of fever, and duration of cough were considered as the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Oxygen saturation and fever duration were not different between groups (P value= 0.08, 0.312, respectively). But the duration of hospitalization and the duration of cough in the PM diet group were significantly shorter than in the CH diet (P value= 0.002, 0.009, and HR=2.02, 1.86 respectively). The mortality rate was significantly lower in the PM diet group than in the CH diet group (Odds ratio: 0.12, P value=0.026). PM diet caused a lower mortality rate, shorter hospital stay, and better improvement in cough, but did not have a significant effect on O2 saturation and fever.
