Clinical Venous Thromboembolism in Spinal Trauma with and Without Spinal Cord Injury: A 3-Year Experience of Midlands Centre for Spinal Injuries, Oswestry, UK
Authors: Alageli Nabil A. , Osman Aheed
Published: May 2023

Background and Aims:

This study aimed to determine the incidence of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) among patients admitted acutely to a regional spinal injury center, following spinal trauma; to compare its occurrence between those with spinal cord injury (SCI) and those without; and to assess the effect of various factors such as age, gender, neurological impairment, and duration of prophylaxis on the incidence observed.

Patients and Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 374 consecutive patients who sustained traumatic spinal injury and were admitted acutely to the Midlands Centre for Spinal Injuries, Oswestry (UK), over a 3-year period. A total of 159 patients had spinal trauma with SCI and 215 were neurologically intact. The majority of these patients were treated nonsurgically and received the same thromboprophylactic regimen started within a median of 2 days postinjury. The incidence of clinical VTE (DVT and PE) was determined and some risk factors were assessed. Ethical approval was obtained through the Audit Office Committee of the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry.

Results:

Among the neurologically intact group, one patient developed clinical PE (0.5%). Out of 159 patients with SCI, 23 developed clinically evident VTE (14.5%), 15 had DVT (11.9%), 4 had PE (5%), and 4 had both DVT and PE. There was no fatality. Complete SCI lesions were associated with higher incidence of VTE compared to incomplete lesions, 17.6% and 11%, respectively (P < 0.001). There were two peaks of thromboembolic episodes: the first during the first 2 weeks after injury (30% of cases) and the second was after the 8th week postinjury (38% of cases). A higher incidence of VTE was recorded in males than females (14.3% and 7.9%, respectively). Aso, the incidence of VTE is slightly higher in the age group between 40 and 60 years, but these differences were not statistically significant.

Conclusions:

SCI is associated with high risk of venous thromboembolism, and the risk increases with the severity of cord insult. While spinal column injury is shown to be associated with much lower risk. The risk is reduced with strict adherence to thromboprophylactic regimen which we suggest to continue for at least 12 weeks for SCI patients.
Evaluating Quality of Anticoagulation Management among Antiphospholipid Syndrome Patients: An Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Alhmoud Eman N. , Elewa Hazem , Elbardissy Ahmed Hossameldin , Ahmed Rana M. , Abdul Gelil Mohammed Salem , Abdel Samad Osama Badry
Published: May 2023

Context:

Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) remain the mainstay of therapy for most nonpregnant patients with thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) considering the increased risk of thrombotic events demonstrated in prospective direct oral anticoagulants trials. Little is known, however, about the quality of anticoagulation control among VKA-treated APS patients.

Aims:

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of anticoagulation control in a cohort of warfarin-treated APS patients in comparison with a control group of non-APS patients. Potential predictors of anticoagulation control were also explored.

Subjects and Methods:

The quality of anticoagulation control (monitoring and clinical outcomes) was retrospectively evaluated in a group of APS patients and compared to a control of non-APS patients.

Results:

Compared to non-APS, patients with APS had a significantly lower time in therapeutic range (TTR) (64.6 ± 27.8 vs. 77.3 ± 17.8, 95% confidence interval 5.6–19.8, P ≤ 0.001). A significantly higher proportion of patients in the APS group experienced poor anticoagulation control (TTR <70%) than non-APS patients (52.2% vs. 31.9%, Odds ratio 2.3 [1.4–4.1], P ≤ 0.001). APS patients were more likely to experience extreme supratherapeutic International Normalized Ratio (>4.5) than their counterparts (10.9% vs. 6.1%, P < 0.001). No difference in clinical events was reported. Gender was the only significant predictor of TTR among APS patients, as females experienced significantly lower TTR (Beta coefficient − 13.5, P = 0.05).

Conclusions:

Compared to general warfarin-treated patients with venous thromboembolism, APS patients were less likely to maintain therapeutic targets. Future studies that incorporate genetic, clinical, and social factors are recommended to fully understand the predictors of anticoagulation quality in this high-risk population.

Published: May 2023

Aim:

The primary aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of brachial plexus injury in cases of shoulder dystocia. Secondly, it was aimed to determine the factors affecting the occurrence of permanent sequelae in cases with brachial plexus injury.

Subjects and Methods:

ICD-10 codes were scanned from the records of patients who gave birth between 2012 and 2018, and the records of patients with brachial plexus injury and shoulder dystocia were reached. Shoulder dystocia cases with brachial plexus damage were accepted as the study group, and shoulder dystocia cases without brachial plexus damage were considered the control group. Shoulder dystocia patients with brachial plexus injury and without injury were compared for 2-year orthopedics clinic follow-up reports, surgical intervention, permanent sequelae status as well as birth data, maternal characteristics, and maneuvers applied to the management of shoulder dystocia.

Results:

Five hundred sixty births with shoulder dystocia were detected. Brachial plexus injury was observed in 88 of them, and permanent sequelae were detected in 12 of these patients. Maneuvers other than McRobert's (advanced maneuvers) were used more and clavicle fracture was seen more in the group with plexus injury (P < 0.05, P < 0.05, respectively). Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors of brachial plexus injury. Brachial plexus injury was observed 4.746 times more in infants who were delivered with advanced maneuvers and 3.58 times more in infants with clavicle fractures at birth.

Conclusion:

In patients with shoulder dystocia, the risk of brachial plexus injury increased in deliveries in which advanced maneuvers were used and clavicle fracture occurred.

Authors: Chen L , Wang J , Yue Q , Wen H
Published: May 2023

Fetal inguinal hernia is quite rare and here we report two cases of prenatally diagnosed inguinoscrotal hernia to add to the limited understanding of this rare condition. The disappearance of blood flow signal in the scrotum may be helpful in detecting fetal incarcerated inguinoscrotal hernia that may progress to strangulation. If bowel dilatation was observed in such cases, the physician should be alert to identify primary intestinal obstruction caused by congenital digestive tract malformation and secondary intestinal obstruction caused by incarceration.

Authors: Nam So Hyun , Lee Shin-Wha , Lee Young-Jae , Kim Yong Man
Published: May 2023

Purpose This phase I study was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of weekly administered Genexol-PM combined with carboplatin in patients with gynecologic cancer.Materials and Methods This open-label, phase I, dose-escalation study of weekly Genexol-PM included 18 patients with gynecologic cancer, who were equally divided into three cohorts of dose levels. Cohort 1 received 100 mg/m2 Genexol-PM and 5 area under the curve (AUC) carboplatin, cohort 2 received 120 mg/m2 Genexol-PM and 5 AUC carboplatin, and cohort 3 received 120 mg/m2 Genexol-PM and 6 AUC carboplatin. The safety and efficacy of each dose were analyzed for each cohort.Results Of the 18 patients, 11 patients were newly diagnosed and seven patients were recurrent cases. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The maximum tolerated dose was not defined, but a dose up to 120 mg/m2 of Genexol-PM in combination with AUC 5-6 of carboplatin could be recommended for a phase II study. In this intention-to-treat population, five patients dropped out of the study (carboplatin-related hypersensitivity, n=1; refusal of consent, n=4). Most patients (88.9%) with adverse events recovered without sequelae, and no treatment-related death occurred. The overall response rate of weekly Genexol-PM in combination with carboplatin was 72.2%.Conclusion Weekly administered Genexol-PM with carboplatin demonstrated an acceptable safety profile in gynecologic cancer pati-ents. The recommended phase II dose of weekly Genexol-PM is up to 120 mg/m2 when combined with carboplatin.
Bureaucracy and Civil Servants of the Tobolsk and Tomsk Provincial Administrations of the late 19th – early 20th Centuries in the Spatial Dimension
Authors: Andriianova Dina V. , Kostomarov Vladimir M.
Published: May 2023

The effectiveness of the administrative apparatus in the frontier territories of the Russian Empire was among the most pressing issues. The functioning of any department largely depends on the staffing of its personnel. This article examines a broad group of civil servants at the regional level of two neighboring provinces: Tobolsk and Tomsk. By applying GIS technologies and constructing a multidimensional graph, the article provides the main characteristics of the civil servants, as well as migration trends during their service within the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The analysis of historiography has revealed a tendency to examine civil servants of the highest rank. However, by including other full-time civil servants of lower positions into the sample, the representation appears somewhat different. Therefore, the obtained data requires new methods of examination, visualization, and verification. The database was compiled based on various published and unpublished materials, as well as collections from central and local archives.

It was established that the portrait of the civil servant in the specified provinces differs due to the divergent ways of forming the personnel list. The geographical characteristics of the mobility of civil servants in the Tobolsk and Tomsk provinces also differ from each other. These newly found traits significantly affect the characteristics of the official apparatus.
“The Most Remote Household of Science”: the West Siberian Experience of Educational Colonization
Authors: Agapov Mikhail G.
Published: May 2023

Public education was as important as military structure, entrepreneurship, and missionary work in developing frontier territories, all of which were used as tools of colonization by modern empires. Imperial experience includes both external and internal colonization. This article presents a social and historical reconstruction of the educational colonization of Western Siberia, considered the longest and most extensive example of internal educational colonization in the Russian Empire. Colonial/peripheral universities were essential to this process, serving as advocates of colonization and agents of decolonization in different historical circumstances. The article analyzes the origins of higher education in Siberia, drawing on discussions about the nature of the soon-to-be Siberian university. Some discussants envisioned an authentic people's, “rustic” university, while others pictured a particularly classical institution of higher education. The author concludes that two models of organizing the peripheral university took shape at the turn of the 20th century in the Russian Empire. The first model involved the creation of a green-field university by sending teachers from metropolitan universities to work in the periphery, which is how Tomsk Imperial University was established. The second model, on the contrary, considered normal schools in place as a base for establishing universities. Later, in the Soviet Union, the second model was primarily used to establish institutions of higher education in the regions.
Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Soviet Power Restoration in Siberia in 1929 (the Example of the Omsk District)
Authors: Tishkina Ksenia A. , Petin Dmitriy I.
Published: May 2023

The state policy in the Soviet Union regarding the formation of historical memory and commemorative practices is currently one of the most popular research areas for Russian scholars in the development of cultural and anthropological knowledge. In this context, the present study is of significant interest. Its purpose is to provide an analytical survey of the preparation and implementation of official jubilee events in 1929, which were organized on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Soviet power restoration in Siberia, based on unpublished materials from Soviet power bodies' paperwork and regional periodicals, using the Omsk district as an example. This study is presented for the first time in scientific circles. The theoretical basis of the research was the anthropological approach, the principle of systematicity, and the problem-chronological method. This methodological framework made it possible to analyze these regional celebrations as a reflection of state policy and the new common culture that was actively forming in the early Soviet society. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that the 1920s were a time for creating a pantheon of Heroes of the Revolution, establishing places of historical memory, and accumulating experience in organizing new public holidays closely related to the strengthening of communist ideology. This study is aimed at a broad audience of specialists interested in Soviet culture, society, the history of official holidays and commemorations in the USSR, and Soviet everyday life.

An Examination of Emotional Resilience among Athletic Trainers Working in the Secondary School Setting
Authors: Henert Shaine , Pitney William , Wood Bethany , Grahovec Nicholas , Wood Tyler
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Athletic training is a demanding profession that is a stressor for many practitioners. Emotional resilience allows Athletic Trainers (ATs) to persist in their roles and benefit from long and successful careers. The purpose of this study was to explore the level of emotional resilience of ATs working in secondary school settings and identify factors perceived to contribute to or mitigate one's emotional resilience. Method: A sequential explanatory mixed-method design using a cross-sectional online survey followed by in-depth interviews was used to gather information from 160 (16% response rate) secondary school NATA members - 97 (60.6%) female; 63 (39.4%) male with 13.28+9.46 years of experience. Six individuals (5 female, 1 male) participated in a follow-up semi-structured interview. The Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure perceptions of individual emotional resilience. Open-ended questions were also used to gather information from the participants who agreed to participate in a follow-up semi-structured interview about the factors perceived to both facilitate or reduce emotional resilience. Results: The mean emotional resilience score (79.84 ± 11.38) for the sample was consistent with the average US adult population. Only 14.1% of the sample reported high emotional resilience scores. There was a significant positive correlation between emotional resilience scores and years of experience as an AT (r(158) = .16, P = .048) and age in years (r(158) = .16, P = .048). There was no significant difference between emotional resilience and academic degree earned (F(2,157) = .775, P = .83). The inductive analysis resulted in the following emergent themes that were perceived to facilitate ones’ emotional resilience: social support, communication, self-care, and past experiences. Also, the following emergent themes were perceived to reduce ones’ emotional resilience: emotional responses and role overload. Conclusion: The results of this study help understand secondary school ATs' perceptions of and factors that contribute to their emotional resilience. Strategies are suggested to help ATs develop emotional resilience to manage their occupational stress and reduce feelings of burnout.

Published: May 2023

Project-based learning (PjBL) is one of the learning models recognized by education experts as an effective method of achieving learning objectives in developing process skills; however, few studies have examined its potential for fostering leadership skills. This study aims to investigate postgraduate teacher students' experiences with project-based learning as a means of developing students leadership skills. The research involved 24 postgraduate students and utilized a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. The findings reveal that while some aspects of project-based learning were perceived as straightforward, other steps were deemed challenging, particularly those that involved higher order thinking skill and emotional consideration. However, the process of interaction and communication during the learning process appears to be a critical factor in the development of leadership skills. These results suggest that further research is needed to explore the potential of project-based learning for developing postgraduate student leadership and to identify effective strategies for implementing this approach. Overall, this study highlights the importance of integrating leadership development into educational curricula and the need for ongoing professional development for teachers to effectively facilitate leadership skill development.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF YAMA IN VASHISHTHA SAMHITA AND PATANJALI YOG SUTRA
Authors: Shah Ishita , Dave Nehal
Published: May 2023

The Yamas and their complement represent a series of "right living" or ethical rules within Yoga philosophy. It means "reining in" or "control". These are restraints for proper conduct as given in the Vedas and the Yog Sutras. They are a form of moral imperatives, commandments, rules or goals. The Yamas are the "don't do these" list of self-restraints, typically representing commitments that affect one's relations with others and self.

The earliest mention of Yamas is in the Rigveda, and over fifty texts of Hinduism, from its various traditions, discuss Yamas. Patañjali lists five yamas in his Yoga Sūtras of Patanjali. Ten yamas are codified as "the restraints" in numerous Hindu texts, including Yajnavalkya Smriti, the Śāṇḍilya and Vārāha Upanishads, the Vashistha Samhita the Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Svātmārāma, and the Tirumantiram of Tirumular.

The Yamas apply broadly and include self-restraints in one's actions, words and thoughts.

A YAMA is a duty or observance recommended by yogic philosophy and teaching as part of the eight-limbed path of yoga. In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, he outlines five yamas as his first "limb" of yoga.

The word, yama, originally meant "bridle" or "rein" and refers to the restraining nature of the yamas. These yamas are practices that are considered to be outer observances. They are a way of applying the behavioural codes of yoga to the way the yogi relates to the world. They are considered to be a valuable and highly relevant guide to help yogis live an ethical life.

Practicing the yamas is said to give the yogi the opportunity to live in a way that is healthier and more peaceful. They can improve relationships with others, strengthen character and help the yogi progress on his/her spiritual path. It is also believed to reduce or even prevent the accumulation of bad karma, which can be gathered when one lives without awareness or honesty.

Published: May 2023

This paper presents part of a wider study on Student’s perception and performance in Mathematics in secondary schools of Hendeni District, Tanzania. Using data collected from 100 respondents, the paper reports that there is a statistical significant relationship between students’ perception and their performance in Mathematics. In other words, the students who perceive Mathematics to be a hard subject are more likely to perform poorly than their counterparts who perceive it to be a simple subject. Though other factors, as per the oral informants (such as teacher-student ratio, poor school facilities, inadequate Mathematics text books and the methods of teaching Mathematics) also accounted for students’ poor performance in Mathematics, their contribution was minimal. The study recommended the need for school managers and classroom teachers to build the self-esteem of students to develop a feeling that they have the capacity to perform all subjects excellently.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Employment: Evidence in Africa
Authors: Yeboah Frederick Forkuo
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this research paper is to examine the effect of artificial intelligence on employment in Africa. To accomplish this, the study employs a convenience sampling technique across 42 countries out of 54 African countries from 2012 to 2021 and utilizes a two-step system known as the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to estimate the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. In the course of the research, two models are specified to determine the influence of artificial intelligence on employment and examine its impact in the absence of a human development index. To analyze the research data, descriptive statistics and regression analysis are employed. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence has a strong positive impact on employment, while revenue demonstrates a moderate positive effect. On the other hand, political stability appears to have a negative impact. The paper makes a valuable and timely contribution to the existing literature on the subject of artificial intelligence’s impact on employment in Africa. The paper concludes by providing suggestions on how to effectively harness AI’s creative effects to counteract its negative consequences and utilize AI to reduce corruption and create sustainable employment for African economies.

Published: May 2023

BackgroundHealth data has become an abundant and rich source of information that can be leveraged for clinical trials. Health Level Seven (HL7) provides standards for health care data, while the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) provides standards for research data. Bridging these worlds and leveraging health data has the potential to enhance knowledge and data quality, while reducing delays and cost in clinical trials.Objectives The aim was to provide an overview of the HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) to CDISC Joint Mapping Implementation Guide (IG) development. The ultimate aim is to increase awareness of this rich resource.MethodsA gap analysis was performed to assess the possibility and feasibility of mapping from FHIR to the CDISC’s Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonization (CDASH) standards. The mapping of CDISC domains commenced using FHIRPath, a path-based navigation and extraction language. The domains mapped were Medical History (MH), Concomitant Medications (CM), Procedures (PR), Vital Signs (VS), Laboratory (LB), Adverse Events (AE), and Demographics (DM). The proposed mappings were evaluated through a formal review process.ResultsThe review process consisted of a CDISC Internal Review and a simultaneous CDISC Public Review and HL7 Ballot Review.  A total of 363 comments were obtained from the following reviews: 1) CDISC Internal Review (268), and 2) simultaneous Public Review (95) - CDISC (37), HL7 (58). The predominant gathered in the review included mapping updates, terminology, and requests for greater detail.ConclusionThe HL7 FHIR® to CDISC Joint Mapping Implementation Guide (IG) provides a rich resource for bridging health care and research standards that can be used with CDISC LB to LOINC mapping guide for leveraging real-world data for clinical trials. The guide assists stakeholders in utilizing health data through the HL7 FHIR® resources to CDISC, CDASH, and SDTM variables. As the community uses this resource, it will continue to mature and potentially expand into new domains.
A educação básica no contexto de avanço neoliberal, neoconservador e neofascista: a conjuntura atual e os desafios para a democratização da educação
Authors: Peroni Vera Maria Vidal , Lima Paula Valim de
Published: May 2023

O artigo analisa as disputas entre público e privado na educação básica brasileira, considerando as particularidades do capitalismo neste período histórico, de avanço neoliberal, neoconservador e neofascista, verificando de que forma estes projetos societários influenciam na política educacional e na educação pública. As análises apontam para um processo de perdas democráticas na educação diante de um processo de fortalecimento do privado na educação pública, seja vinculado ao neoliberalismo e os valores de mercado e empreendedorismo; ou em uma perspectiva neoconservadora associada a propostas de ataque ao ensino público no âmbito ideológico. Trata-se de projetos societários em disputa, que se modificam conforme a correlação de forças. Para o próximo período, nesse sentido, o grande desafio que se apresenta é o fortalecimento do público e a democratização da educação e da sociedade.
Impacto da COVID-19 nas relações envolvendo a população vulnerável e a atuação da defensoria pública como custos vulnerabilis

A pandemia COVID-19 e as consequentes medidas de isolamento social impactaram significativamente nas relações jurídicas. Diante disso, esta pesquisa objetiva examinar tipos negociais específicos, em especial, locação residencial, contrato de ensino e contratos consumeristas, temperando-os com as soluções dadas por parte da doutrina e pela jurisprudência. Chega-se à conclusão de que os instrumentos aptos a serem utilizados são as ações revisionais e o instituto inovador importado do Direito comparado chamado “dever de renegociar”, contando com relevante atuação da Defensoria Pública para a adequada tutela dos mais prejudicados no contexto mencionado.

Published: May 2023

Objetiva-se investigar a prevalência do Efeito da Idade Relativa (EIR) em jogadores de handebol masculino de diferentes categorias. Foi realizada uma busca no Portal de Periódicos CAPES de artigos publicados até 12 de outubro de 2022 em português e inglês, exclusivamente com amostra do sexo masculino. Dos 127 artigos encontrados, 67 foram excluídos por serem duplicados ou não possuir acesso aberto, 21 após leitura dos títulos e resumos e 33 após leitura do texto na íntegra, sendo incluídos 6 artigos para esta revisão. As evidências mostram o EIR nos níveis nacional e internacional do handebol, com predominância de atletas nascidos nos primeiros meses do ano em comparação com os nascidos nos meses finais, principalmente em categorias mais jovens. No entanto, são necessárias novas pesquisas acerca do EIR no handebol masculino, uma vez que há uma escassez de estudos na modalidade quando comparadas com outras modalidades esportivas coletivas de invasão.

Authors: Schatz Patrícia Volk
Published: May 2023

A popularidade do futebol garante que a economia desse esporte estabeleça relações em âmbito global e, da mesma forma, se vislumbram possibilidades geopolíticas por meio de um soft power associado à prática. Considerando o mercado futebolístico, a partir de 2010, o texto objetiva identificar os principais investimentos árabes e chineses na aquisição de clubes e em outras formas de negócios como patrocínios. Metodologicamente recorreu-se à revisão narrativa da literatura e coleta de materiais especializados da imprensa esportiva, bem como em sites de clubes diversos. Os resultados mostraram que o interesse sobre o futebol se amplia para países e investidores diversos, mesmo sem tradição em grandes competições, pois esse esporte permite projeções internacionais para grupos investidores, marcas e nações.
A reforma financeira chinesa e a abertura externa da década de 1990: os efeitos e a velocidade de recuperação das reformas financeiras e das políticas de reorientação econômica
Authors: Novais Ivo , Moreira Uallace
Published: May 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir reformas bancárias da década de 1990, que consolidaram o Estado chines e a arquitetura de seu sistema financeiro, estabelecendo um circuito constituído com base na logica finance-investment-saving-funding. Circuito esse que propicia uma elevação do volume dos financiamentos, condicionando o crescimento da indústria e a formação de grandes conglomerados empresariais estatais, entre eles o financeiro. O sistema financeiro mediante volumosos recursos financeiros principalmente via crédito, direcionou o nível de gasto dos agentes e das variáveis reais da economia como produto e emprego. O resultado deste processo é um movimento claro de interesse desse mercado na busca por uma parcela do grande lucro apresentado. Deste modo, conseguiu superar o seu atraso de desenvolvimento, demonstrando ser possível acelerar e melhorar a qualidade do crescimento econômico por meio do desenvolvimento e centralização da intermediação financeira.

Authors: Diegues Antonio Carlos , Roselino José Eduardo
Published: May 2023

O artigo analisa a emergência da Indústria 4.0 a partir de uma abordagem crítica que, a despeito de reconhecer as importantes transformações em curso, rejeita o entendimento deste fenômeno como sendo o advento de 4ª. Revolução Industrial. O esforço analítico visa o desenho de diretrizes para as política industriais e tecnológicas nacionais com base no entendimento de que as tecnologias centrais deste novo paradigma técnico-econômico são desenvolvidas no âmbito de distintas configurações de redes globalizadas. Propõe-se então uma tipologia para essas redes globais com desdobramentos sobre as diferentes abordagens para as estratégias de políticas.
