Authors: Thakur Sanjeev Kumar , Adhikari Apar , Khanal Tekendra , Ray Rajesh Kumar , Ghimire Nisha
Published: June 2023

Background: Sino nasal outcome test (SNOT) is a subjective tool in which both nasal and health-related symptomatic improvements are assessed in cases of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). We aim to report the demography of CRS patients and magnitude of symptoms, along with its improvement over time after the surgery, using SNOT questionnaire.
Methods: A hospital based prospective, descriptive study was done in 35 patients with medically refractory CRS cases who underwent Functional endoscopic sinus surgey (FESS), over one year. All patients were routinely examined the 1st week, the 4th week, and 3 months after surgery.
The cases were assessed preoperatively and then after surgery, using the Sino-nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire, for a maximum of 3 months period. The results were expressed in number and percentage. Mean and standard deviation were used to describe the findings and compare the initial and follow up values. Association between preoperative and postoperative symptoms was analyzed using paired sample t-test and p value less than 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: The age range was 14-64 years, with a mean age of 33.11 ± years. 12(34.28%) were male and 23(65.71%) were female. Polyps were present in 12 (34.28%). 23 (65.71%) cases were without polyp. The mean SNOT score overall preoperatively was 33.94±SD, while postoperative SNOT score was 19.05±SD. There was a significant improvement in nasal, ear and facial symptoms, quality of life symptoms and psychological symptoms.
Conclusion: There was an overall improvement in all the symptoms postoperatively, though the Cough and dizziness improvement was not statistically significant.

Issues of Teaching Practice in Master of English Education: Supervisors’ Perspectives
Authors: Kadel Purna Bahadur
Published: June 2023

This study analyse on the issues of teaching practice through the lenses of internal supervisors. It is an attempt to explore whether the pre-service teachers were provided with adequate comments and feedbacks from their supervisors during on-campus and off-campus activities; whether the assigned tasks were appropriate for them and what challenges of teaching practice existed in Master of English Education. Phenomenological research design was adopted to carry out hits study. Ten English teachers were selected non-randomly from constituent and affiliated colleges of Tribhuvan University as a sample to elicit data to address the research questions of this study. The findings of this study showed that there were lack of proper feedbacks and comments both from their peers and supervisors; teaching practice has been taken as rituals; the pre-service teachers could be engaged professionally through proper management of teaching practice; the main root causes of being ineffective of teaching practice were lack of proper exposure of item construction and analysis, inadequate amount of remuneration to supervisors. It is concluded that the course of teaching practice under the Faculty of Education should be revamped and revisited in order to produce competent efficient and professional English teachers in both content and pedagogical techniques.
Impact of Decentralization on Restructuring Nepal
Authors: Ghimire Tara Nath
Published: June 2023

This article discusses how decentralization laws have affected the implementation of federalism in Nepal, as well as when and how it started. Federalism and decentralization are different issues but the practice of decentralization in Nepal in different periods that has affected the existing governance system. Politics and state forms have also been influenced by modern and post-modern thought. This research focuses on the impact of decentralization laws on federalism. The study uses only secondary data to examine what old decentralization practices we reemployed during state restructuring in Nepal. Since ancient times, Nepal has been ruled by a unitary system. Nepal's institutionalized decentralization history is not long. Before Nepal's unification, there were various minor states. At that time, it was necessary to increase the state size based on power. Nepal does not have a long history of legal rule though decentralization has been used throughout history. Some of the effects of the old laws are reflected in the updated laws. This study examines how decentralization affects federalism throughout different historical periods. It reveals how old decentralization laws influenced federalism. Using descriptive and analytical methods, the study came to its conclusion.

Correlation between optical coherence tomography angiography-based data and postoperative visual acuity in patients that underwent surgery for macula-on RRD and macula-off RRD
Authors: Безкоровайна Ірина , Іванченко Анна
Published: June 2023

Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, patients are still at high risk for low functional outcomes. Given the above, it is important to find reasons for disappointment at the outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery for RRD. Impaired retinal microcirculation is a possible cause of insufficiently good functional outcomes in surgery for RRD.

Purpose: To compare postoperative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)-based changes in retinal microcirculation in the eyes of patients that underwent surgery for macula-on RRD versus the eyes of patients that underwent surgery for macula-off RRD and (2) to establish a relationship between OCTA data and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

Material and Methods: This prospective study included 116 patients. Of these, 65 underwent surgery for macular-on RRD (group 1) and 51, surgery for macular-off RRD (group 2). OCTA-based retinal vasculature parameters (foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, parafoveal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) density and deep capillary plexus (DCP) density, vessel diameter, and vessel tortuosity index (VTI)) and their correlation with BCVA were assessed. Follow-up duration was 12 months.

Results: In group 1, there was a negative correlation between the FAZ area and the macular thickness (r = - 0.299, p = 0.025) at month 12. The final BCVA was associated with the parafoveal DCP density (r = - 0.340, p = 0.010) and FAZ area (r= 0.390, p = 0.003). At 12 months, in group 2, the BCVA negatively correlated with the FAZ area (r = - 0.408, p = 0.012) and parafoveal SCP density (r = - 0.451, p = 0.005). In addition, there was a negative correlation between the parafoveal DCP density and the postoperative BCVA (r = - 0.418). There was no correlation between the FAZ area and the macular thickness (r = - 0.282, p = 0.080).

Conclusion: The poorer vessel tortuosity index and parafoveal vessel density and diameter, the lower was postoperative visual acuity.
Reading comprehension processes
Authors: Blaži Ostojić Antonija
Published: June 2023

Reading comprehension is a complex, multifaceted process in which a number of components are appropriately and often simultaneously activated. The importance of different background subprocesses, its complex nature, as well as the interconnection of various components has been demonstrated by various ‘models of reading and reading comprehension’. Based on these models, assessment methods and materials for reading comprehension are developed. However, the models and assessment materials developed so far are mostly derived from research on languages with non-transparent orthography (e.g., English). Therefore, the question arises regarding the extent to which they can or should be applied in languages with shallow, transparent orthography (e.g., Croatian) that have clear and consistent relationships between letters and sounds, as opposed to languages with deep orthography. The main aim of this study was to present a brief review of prominent reading comprehension models and their interconnections through specific levels of language processing (single word, sentence, discourse), as well as to discuss the methodological aspects of assessing reading comprehension processes arising from the presented theoretical models. Motivated by the fact that there is a lack of studies on models and assessment materials in languages with transparent orthography, the application of existing models and assessment methods will be discussed in the context of transparent orthography languages. This study provides comprehensive insights, based on theory, on the key elements to consider when developing an assessment method/tool for reading comprehension, both for research or diagnostic purposes
A wolf in sheep’s clothing: when a stroke is not a stroke, and how comprehensive speech and language therapy assessment and intervention can help to set the alarm
Authors: Gonçalves Rita , Lopes Martins Cristiana , Lopes Arminda
Published: June 2023

A 70-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2001 and did not undergo antiretroviral therapy, was admitted two months after the onset of left cortical-subcortical ischemic stroke, with involvement of the corona radiata and the left thalamus. As a consequence of this vascular event, he suffered aphasia, severe dysarthria, dysphagia, and right hemiparesis. The patient took part in a rehabilitation program at a rehabilitation centre for neurological diseases with a specialised interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. He underwent speech therapy intervention with a frequency of 2-3 hours per day. Despite the intensity of the program, there was a decline in his clinical and functional status during hospitalisation, with decreased capacity to swallow and communicate (either because of the exacerbation of the aphasia, or due to the worsening of dysarthria and apraxic features). Due to this global deterioration, additional imaging, as well as serological and aetiological examination was performed, which led to a diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in the context of HIV1 infection. Antiretroviral therapy was administered to reverse the symptoms. This case illustrates the relevance of clinical disclosure for the establishment of appropriate functional prognoses and discharge planning. It also shows that the initial clinical features can be misleading and can lead to concealment of the real aetiology, as well as delays in appropriate treatment, especially in multipathology patients.

Published: June 2023

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale has had a significant impact on all aspects of human activities. The integration of digital technologies has led to a substantial transformation of the worldwide education system. The primary objective of this investigation was to examine the transition from traditional face-to-face instruction to virtual instruction in South African institutions of higher learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The research utilised content analysis to conduct a scoping review of existing literature pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on tertiary education establishments in the Republic of South Africa. The study reviewed journal articles and book chapters focused on the shift from conventional classroom learning to online learning in South Africa’s Higher Education to answer two research questions raised in the study. To ensure an in-depth search, the researcher searched 67 journals articles and identified 58 reports/studies satisfying the inclusion criteria. The findings of the analysis of these studies highlighted that the educational establishments were not adequately equipped for the abrupt shift from traditional face-to-face instruction to remote digital learning. Despite the expeditious efforts made by numerous institutions of higher education to incorporate online learning into their curricula, several obstacles were encountered during this technological shift towards the perpetuation of educational instruction. Consequently, it is recommended that institutions provide sufficient learning technologies, consistent internet data subscriptions for students, and technical support for lecturers to improve the effectiveness of online learning. On the other hand, the research has demonstrated that educational establishments have undergone a significant transformation from traditional in-person instructional settings to virtual learning environments.

Institute of Epidemiology and Bacteriology on Zeleni Brijeg, Zagreb by Architect Vasily Mikhailovich Androsov
Authors: Belamarić Josip
Published: June 2023

The complex of medical institutions of the 1920s on Zeleni brijeg (Green Hill) in Zagreb was built as a kind of a stronghold of the pioneering programme of new institutional forms of primary health care, as conceived by Andrija Štampar and his associates. The Institute of Epidemiology, which was originally supposed to be built according to Drago Ibler›s project (1922), but it was later rejected. The construction of the Institute began in the autumn of 1924, according to the plans by Vasily Mikhailovich Androsov, one of the Russian architects employed in the Architectural Department of the Ministry of Construction in Belgrade, probably after a closed competition, hastened by the threat that substantial funds allocated by the Ministry of Public Health, the Hygiene Section of the League of Nations, and above all the Rockefeller Foundation, would be lost. An Androsov design also replaced another avant-garde design of Croatian and Yugoslav modernism: due to direct intervention by King Alexander Karađorđević, Androsov’s design for the Palace of the Main Post Office in Belgrade, in the spirit of academic mannerism, was chosen and built instead of Josip Pičman’s design that had taken the first prize in the relevant competition. Hence the title of this article, which draws attention to the creator of a block of buildings of medical institutions, the interesting history of which can now be discussed on the basis of more information.

Authors: Durgun Şahin Yelda , Altunkasa Ceren
Published: June 2023

In this study, academic staff residential buildings were studied as part of a university campus located in a hot and humid climate zone in Türkiye. Within the scope of the study, the energy efficient architectural and landscape design decisions of the buildings built in 1976 were examined. The aim was to determine the energy performance of buildings built about 50 years ago and to quantify the effect of changing landscape conditions on thermal comfort. In this aim, the outdoor thermal comfort level was determined by creating microclimate simulations for the hottest day and time of the year. Microclimatic analyses were performed with ENVI-met software and thermal comfort was evaluated with two metrics, average PMV and ASHRAE scale. The energy performance of the buildings was determined using ecological design parameters. An approach to global environmental problems is the use of ecological design principles, including architectural and landscape design principles. It is important to consider both architectural design criteria and landscape design criteria when discussing ecological design in the built environment. Architectural and landscape design decisions for hot and humid climate regions together increased energy efficiency by 51.1% to 75.5%. It was found that although the plant design improves energy performance in buildings by that range value, it improved outdoor thermal comfort by 15% to 22%. As a result, the study evaluated climate-balanced plant design with building energy performance in order to improve outdoor thermal comfort.

Problematika Penegakan Hukum dalam Prinsip Kemerdekaan Pers: Studi Media Siber dan Wartawan Abal-Abal di Kota Tanjungpinang
Authors: Panama Nikolas , Situmeang Ampuan , Hutauruk Rufinus Hotmaulana
Published: June 2023

Media massa dan wartawan merupakan dua sumber daya yang saling berhubungan. Perusahaan media massa tidak profesional berdampak negatif terhadap kehidupan pers. Media massa dan wartawan bagaikan dua mata pisau sehingga bisa dijadikan alat untuk kepentingan tertentu, bahkan melanggar hukum. Media massa dan wartawan yang tidak mengedepankan kode etik jurnalistik mencoreng profesi jurnalis, dan cenderung melanggar hukum sehingga muncul stigma negatif di tengah masyarakat terhadap profesi wartawan. Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana problematika pendirian perusahaan pers serta urgensi verifikasi media massa dan uji kompetensi wartawan, yang dihubungkan dengan prinsip kemerdekaan pers dan Undang-Undang Pers. Penelitian disajikan menggunakan metode yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan penelitian bersifat kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat celah hukum pada peraturan terkait pendirian media massa. Bahkan UU Nomor 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers sendiri membuka ruang kepada siapa saja untuk mendirikan perusahaan pers, namun tidak mewajibkan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas. UU Pers juga tidak mengatur syarat pendidikan bagi wartawan, melainkan hal tersebut diserahkan kepada perusahaan pers. Regulasi pers terkait verifikasi media massa dan uji kompetensi wartawan hanya berlaku bagi yang mendaftar di Dewan Pers. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan pertumbuhan media massa, khususnya media siber tidak terkendali, bahkan aktivitas wartawan yang tidak profesional cenderung melanggar prinsip-prinsip kemerdekaan pers.

Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI) yang bekerja di sector domestic umumnya telah banyak mendapatkan sorotan dan perhatian publik, sebagai ABK kapal nelayan milik perusahaan asing kurang mendapatkan perhatian baik menyangkut keselamatan maupun perlindungan terhadap hak-hak mereka. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan dapat memberikan penekanan pada pentingnya untuk Indonesia agar meratifikasi konvensi tersebut sebagai bentuk upaya memberikan perlindungan bagi para pekerja di kapal asing, serta memberikan rasa aman dan kepastian hukum di masa yang akan datang. Pemerintah Indonesia belum mengambil langkah serius untuk mengakomodasi kepentingan ABK Indonesia yang bekerja di kapal penangkap ikan asing. Penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum yuridis-normatif. Negara memiliki kewajiban untuk memberikan perlindungan HAM tanpa harus diminta. Oleh karena itu, penting bagi pemerintah Indonesia untuk meratifikasi Konvensi ILO 188 tahun 2007 dalam mengatasi ketidakpastian hukum yang ditinggalkan oleh peraturan nasional, menjamin hak-hak pekerja, dan menciptakan kepastian hukum. Perlunya penyelarasan peraturan perundang-undangan yang ada dan berlaku tentang perlindungan pekerja perikanan di Indonesia harus menjadi pertimbangan pada saat pemerintah memutuskan untuk meratifikasi Konvensi ILO 188 tahun 2007.

Social Optimism of Russians in a Crisis: Results of a Longitudinal Study
Authors: Nestik T.
Published: June 2023

The article considers the main approaches to the study of social optimism as a socio-psychological phenomenon, highlights its theoretical structure and functions. The results of a longitudinal empirical study conducted among adult Russians (N = 664, six measurements) from March 3 to December 26, 2022 and aimed at identifying the socio-psychological antecedents of the stability of social optimism in the conditions of crisis are presented. It is shown that social optimism is directly related to personal characteristics that underlie the resilience: self-efficacy, perceived control, dispositional optimism, positive reframing and seeking emotional support in a critical situation. The study reveals that perceived control increases the stability of the individual's social optimism in a crisis. The higher the social well-being of the individual, the belief in his ability to contribute to the development of society, the more stable is social optimism. The hypothesis is confirmed that social optimism is enhanced by socio-psychological characteristics that facilitate the consolidation of efforts for a joint response to the challenges of the crisis: civic identity; perceived social support; empathy for others affected by the war; generalized trust; trust in civil society institutions; as well as political self-efficacy, that is, the belief in the ability to influence political decisions made in the country. On the contrary, social optimism is negatively associated with belief in a dangerous world, social cynicism, and a conspiracy worldview. The main contribution to the stability of social optimism is made by collective political self-efficacy, while social cynicism accelerates its decline. The results of the study made it possible to suggest the existence of two complementary mechanisms for maintaining social optimism: through strengthening civic identification and the importance of the collective future for the individual (this role is played by moral foundations of respect for authority, loyalty to one’s group and sanctity) and through empathy and strengthening the importance of mutual assistance in a crisis (under the influence of "individualizing" moral foundations of caring for people and fairness).

Authors: Polyakova Tatiana A.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of legal issues of the development of information security culture of citizens of the Russian Federation in the context of the digital transformation of society. Given the priority of the tasks of ensuring information security in the national security system of the Russian Federation, the purpose of this article is to identify legal problems in the process of implementing the strategic tasks of ensuring national information security, including ensuring the information security of the state, society and citizens. At the same time, the attention of the authors is focused on the legal problems of forming a culture of information security of citizens, since they are the most vulnerable objects of information-psychological, destructive influence. The need to ensure the state of protection of citizens in the information space is associated not only with the realization of their rights, but also requires compliance with relevant duties and rules of conduct. The formation of a culture of information security requires the improvement of state policy aimed at the development of legal regulation not only in the private law, but also in the public law sphere. In connection with this, the authors substantiate the conclusion that these legal problems require scientific research in public law science, given the new passport of the specified scientific specialty. In the process of research, the tasks set were implemented using general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis). Based on the dialectical method, it has been established that a wide range of challenges and threats to information security in modern conditions requires interdisciplinary and intersectoral approaches. It has been substantiated that it is necessary to develop an integrated approach and conduct a general information campaign for the population aimed at increasing legal literacy on information security issues, contributing to an increase in the level of trust in digital services and further digitalization of the state economy.
New ideas of Russian constitutionalism. Law as an element of the system of sacred and profane values
Authors: Vinogradova Elena V.
Published: June 2023

The formation of the modern Russian model of constitutionalism is contextually predetermined by the study of its institutions. The rethinking of the legal content of constitutional values is due to the emergence of new ideas that, in the format of interdisciplinary research, create the constitutional and legal basis of the Russian state identity. The article analyzes the influence of the system of sacred and profane values in the concepts of legal awareness and law enforcement on legal science. Previously, the sacred - profane system was not studied in domestic law. The proposed conceptual models for the inclusion of socio-philosophical phenomena in the system of constitutional values are important for a new understanding of constitutional values. The relevance of the study is due to the transformation of constitutional institutions in new readings of the Constitution of the Russian Federation after the adoption of amendments in 2020. The article analyzes the issues of influence on the social processes of profanization of sacred values. It is concluded that value orientations determine the criteria for the effectiveness of power and management, institutionalize legal awareness and law enforcement as regulators of public relations.
