Background: Bone marrow and stem cell transplantation have become conventional therapy, with the potential to cure a variety of hematologic malignancies and immunologic diseases. Severe infection is still a potentially fatal complication following transplantation, contributes significantly to morbidity, and may demand ICU admission.
Objectives: The study aims to summarize current evidence on the prevalence, risk factors, and management approaches of irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: For article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All relevant articles relevant to our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that was reviewed by the group members.
Conclusion: the result of the 12 studies included, proves the high risk of infections after bone marrow transplantation and its high mortality effect. Post transplantation patient's immune system is vulnerable, opportunistic infections occur such as viruses and fungi. The highest prevalence recorded in Adenovirus infections reaching 29% of patients throat swaps, urine, and stool samples come positive affirming the diagnosis.

Authors: TULUM Muhammed Emir
Published: December 2022

Osmanlı Devleti’nin fetihle neticelenen askerî seferlerini odağına alan müstakil kitap şeklindeki fetihnâmeler Osmanlı tarih yazımında özel tarihler, klasik Türk edebiyatı geleneğinde ise edebî türler arasında değerlendirilir. Fetihnâmelerin belirli bir kısmını teşkil eden ve mevcut örnekleri 16. yüzyılda kümelenen manzum fetihnâmelerin ekseriyeti sanat yapmaktan çok zikri geçen seferlerdeki olayları anlatmak amacıyla yazılmıştır. Ancak bu eserler arasında olay anlatımından ziyade edebî yönü öne çıkan veya her iki yönden dikkat çeken örnekler de vardır. Bu çalışmada manzum fetihnâmelerin tarihî bilgi aktarmak açısından ne oranda nesnel olduklarının anlaşılması hedeflenmektedir. Bu amaçla, manzum fetihnâmelerin bazı hususi özelliklerine ve klasik dönem Osmanlı tarihi araştırmalarına katkı sağlayabilecek yönlerine dikkat çekildikten sonra, tarihî kaynak ve araştırmalarla mukayeseleri yapılarak tarihî kaynak değerleri saptanmaya çalışılacaktır.
Plasmid Profiling in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Human Isolates of Non-Typhoidal Salmonella
Authors: Hakobyan S. S. , Sedrakyan A. M.
Published: December 2022

In this study we explored the plasmid profile of human extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) isolates, presence of plasmid-encoded ESBL genes of blaCTX-M-2 phylogroup in these isolates, as well as plasmid-mediated transfer of ESBL-producer phenotype. The high prevalence of the 7.7 kb plasmids, encoding CTX-M-5 β-lactamase, as well as sharing restriction profile and pCTXM5-like genetic backbone, was found in ESBL-producing S. Typhimurium isolates. The results indicated that ESBL-producing phenotype of these isolates is generally associated with the carriage of pCTXM5-1358 plasmids, which can be transferred to other clinical isolates belonging to the common in Armenia serotypes of NTS.

The Struggle Between Nestorians And Monophysites: Barsauma’s Activity
Authors: Khorikyan Hovhannes
Published: December 2022

The article shows that the Sasanian monarchs in one way or another used to take into account the importance of Syriac role in the state economy. The Christian craftsmen and merchants paid colossal taxes to the state treasury. Indeed, Nestorianism antagonized the official Byzantine church; spreading out from Mesopotamia, it was the creed of the merchants, the class who sought independency, which confronted Zoroastrianism in Iran. The Armenian Church, being national in nature, had such an intolerant position against the Byzantine church and Barsauma. At the time when the Christian church was divided into Monophysites and Dyophysites, and the Byzantines persecuted the Nestorians, the latter settled in Iran and from that time on the Persians changed their attitude towards the Christians and started to patronize the Nestorians, who were the enemies of Byzantine Chalcedonianism. In ancient and medieval ages, the ethnic affiliation was directly related to the practicing of religion, the Syrians were Christians, and the Persians were Zoroastrians. This factor forced the Syrians to have their own establishment and under its patronage they could exist. They were unified around the church and the union of the craftsmen ensured the financial support.
Retorička moć uvjeravanja u Ciceronovom govoru Pro Milone (Za Milona) / Persuasive rhetoric in Cicero’s speech Pro Milone
Authors: Brkan Seada
Published: December 2022

Rhetoric in Ancient Rome was a very specific type of discourse construction used to shape, present, and interpret specific works of individuals and then present them to critics. Depending on the perspective of the orator, defense counsel, or plaintiff, discourse strategies were aimed at legitimizing or delegitimizing a specific act. Words and wise acts of a skillful orator, which Cicero was renowned for, were often as powerful as weapons; they not only uncovered the intentions and objectives of participants in a given situation, but they reflected the social and political image of Rome, including the context of the event. The paper presents one of the possible methods of analyzing Cicero’s speeches made for the defense of Milo, a notable Roman charged for the murder of aristocrat Clodius Pulcher. It is based on the discourse-historical approach of R. Wodak and M. Reisigl. It is a qualitative analysis focused on the linguistic construction of the defense of the defendant at a trial. The analysis will show the discourse constructions produced under the influence of a set of specific social factors, in this case, the political environment in Rome, the ideological affiliation of speakers, and the main discussion participants – Milo and Pulcher, their political roles, and the degree of formality. The paper’s theoretical framework is a critical analysis of the discourse.
Forme i funkcije zapovjednih načina u Ciceronovim Pismima / The form and function of commands in Cicero’s Epistles
Authors: Brkan Seada
Published: December 2022

In oral and written communication there exist various linguistic tools by which one tells or asks their interlocuter to do something. In such cases, one most often uses the imperative, even though in different languages there are different ways to attain a goal, i.e., to realize the intention or request of the message sender. In Latin, there existed along with the imperative a mood called the subjunctive through which speakers could express commands or prohibitions, but also suggestions, desires, requests, counsel, or encouragement for the message receiver to complete a certain act. The content mentioned can be expressed using the present (e.g., You are shutting up now!) or the future tenses (e.g., You are going to the library tomorrow!), or with certain periphrastic forms (e.g., This job ought to be finished!). The form, then, does not always correspond with the anticipated content; that is, one type of content can be expressed using various forms. This paper is directed at the observation and analysis of the various forms and functions of commands used by Cicero in his epistles, as well as on their classification according to which of them prevail in individual groups of letters. Along with this, seeing as in some examples ambiguous forms of the imperative are found, whose function is conditioned due to various pragmatic parameters and contextual frameworks, the goal is to also to point out the importance of context and its elements, especially those of a socio-political, cultural or historical environment and the role of participants in the choice, usage, and interpretation of forms of the command.
Kvintilijanovi principi odgoja i obrazovanja rimskih govornika / Quintilian’s principles of education of Roman orators
Authors: Mazur Tamara
Published: December 2022

Social values, as well as the state of society at a certain time, are optimally reflected in the contents and methods of education of new generations. When it comes to Roman education, Marcus Fabius Quintilian belongs to those who placed the social ideal at the center of education and subordinated everything else to it. In the 1st century. D., distinguished himself as a teacher of rhetoric by theorizing about the education of orators and, also, by giving examples for practice. He accepted the task that was somehow imposed on him - to write a work based on many years of experience - how to raise a perfect orator. The Institutio Oratoria is a completely preserved work that determines the stages and methods of mastering the art of oratory from the earliest age of a child. As far as it is known, it is the only preserved systematic ancient pedagogical reflection. This paperwork tries to concisely present the principles that Quintilian considered fundamental in education, which resulted in a perfect Roman orator. The presentation of principles was done by analyzing historical sources and comparing them with contemporary pedagogical concepts.

A smartphone is a portable computer that combines a mobile phone and a computer into one device. Smartphones have more powerful hardware and robust mobile operating systems. They enable web browsing over mobile broadband, and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming) in addition to basic phone features. Researcher Patrice Buzzanell claims resilience theory has five components that businesses can cultivate. These include creating normalcy, affirming identity anchors, utilizing communication networks, and putting alternative logic into practice. Business continuity planning, which tries to make organizations more resilient to failure, was developed with the help of resilience theory. Resilience theory places a strong emphasis on the fact that conflict arises naturally in larger groups of individuals. Management had similar views between the late 1940s and the middle of the 1970s. Excellent teamwork requires effective communication. Private Smartphone Retailer Wireless is a Boholano brand that debuted in 1994 and has since grown to include more than forty stores as well as an online store. The company’s name essentially sums up its mission: to serve Savers, end consumers seeking high-quality devices at the greatest prices. Crisis management is the process by which an organization deals with a disruptive and unexpected event. One of our best conflict resolution moves is to sort out and handle the situation quickly and informally. The effective and efficient administration of people inside a company or organization is known as human resource management. It is created to maximize worker performance in support of an employer’s strategic goals. The process starts with the hiring and selection process, followed by regularization and retention of the job. Branches serve as both after-sales centers and pick-up locations for online orders. They have changed the user experience to get to a point where customers can interact with brands both physically and virtually.

Authors: YILMAZ ERCAN , ELKIRAN ZLEM , NCE DAMLA , KARAKURT CEM , YILMAZ ZEYNEP , LU SA
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Electrocardiography (ECG) is an important non-invasive examination used for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and rhythm problems for nearly hundred years. Many studies showed the important effect of age and gender on electrocardiographic tracings and studies were made to form ECG data normal for age groups. The number of studies on this subject is quite low in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the standard percentile values of ECG measurement and the prevalence of cardiac rhythm disorders in school children aged 6-18 in our region.

Material and Method: 2154 students who were randomly selected from eight elementary, secondary and high schools in Malatya city center were included in the study and informed consent form was taken from their families. Using MAC 2000 (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA) device capable of taking digital ECG record, ECG records with standard 12 derivations were taken for all participating children. ECG records of all children were examined by the same pediatric cardiologists. Using 24 hour Holter ECG and echocardiography, advanced evaluation was performed for the children with problems detected in ECG records.

Results: Pathology was detected in the ECG of 110 out of a total of 2154 children whose ECG records were examined. Average age of 2044 children without detected conduction and rhythm disorder was 11.4±2.8 and 56.8% (n=1149) were female. In addition to the heart rate, PR, QT and QTc interval and QRS time, R/S ratio was also checked manually in V1, V2 and V6 precordial derivations together with QTc, P, QRS and T axis for the children participating in the study. These eleven parameters were compared to the other studies in literature. Mean QTc interval was detected below 440 milliseconds in all age groups (6-9, 9-13, 13-18). Mean heart rate per minute was found higher in all age groups in our study compared to other studies. Thus mean QTc interval was found lower than the other studies although QT distance was similar.

Conclusion: Data of this study is important for the detection of normal ECG percentiles and the prevalence of rhythm problems in children and would guide other future studies on this subject.

Authors: Guler Mehmet , Mengi Alper
Published: December 2022

Objective: Familial and social support is low in fibromyalgia patients. The present study aimed to determine the stigma in fibromyalgia and related factors.
Materials and Methods: The study is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Between May-December 2020, two groups who applied to an outpatient clinic formed the participants: the first group included patients with Fibromyalgia and the second group consists of healthy controls. The presence of stigma was evaluated using the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illnesses. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, The Distress Tolerance Scale, The Discomfort Intolerance Scale, the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnairev and Visual Analog Scale were used to determine the related factors.
Results: In this study, which included 92 fibromyalgia and 46 healthy volunteers , stigma was significantly higher in fibromyalgia patients compared to the healthy controls (p = 0.002). A significant relationship was found between stigma and disease impact (p < 0.001). In addition, as the duration and impact of the disease increased, the stigma scores increased and the rates of social support and resilience decreased (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: In fibromyalgia patients, the long duration of the disease, low level of social support, and high disease impact can be counted among the factors associated with stigma.

Authors: n Nevin , Bol Ceyda , lmaz emsi
Published: December 2022

Aim: This study aimed to examine integrated anxiety and stress states and quality of life of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 process and the relationship between them.
Materials and Methods: The population of this descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study consisted of all healthcare workers working during the COVID-19 process in Turkey. The research sample consisted of 305 healthcare workers who could be reached online between 12 June and 25 August 2020. In the study, a “Personal Information Form”, the “Integrated Anxiety-Stress Scale (IASS)”, and the “Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL)” were used.
Results: Of the healthcare workers, 85.2% were female, 72.5% were married, and 81.6% were nurses. 59.7% of them were assigned to COVID-19 units during the pandemic process. The mean total IASS score of the healthcare workers was 56.34±28.70 and the mean IASS index score was 26.17±8.30. The mean scores on the subscales of ProQOL were 32.64±10.17 for professional satisfaction, 15.70±9.32 for empathy fatigue, and 19.88±7.22 for burnout. A strong significant relationship was found between the integrated anxiety/stress scale and the subscales of the professional quality of life scale (p<0.01). According to the regression analysis, burnout and empathy fatigue, which are the subscales of the professional quality of life scale, affected the integrated anxiety stress scale score (p<0.01).
Conclusions: This study, which was carried out in the middle and advanced periods of the outbreak, showed that the integrated stress-anxiety levels of healthcare workers were moderate and high. Increased integrated anxiety/stress increases burnout and empathy fatigue whereas it reduces professional satisfaction and predicts burnout and empathy fatigue. Therefore, in order to reduce the burnout level and empathy fatigue of healthcare professionals, interventions should be made to control/reduce their anxiety and stress levels.
The role of Nrf2/SIRT1 pathway in the hepatoprotective effect of PEITC against HFD/STZ-induced diabetic liver disease.

Short title: PEITC ameliorates liver injury via Nrf2/SIRT1 pathways
Authors: c Bu , Uyumlu Ay , dere Asl
Published: December 2022

Aim: We intended to assess the hepatoprotective effects of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) against oxidative liver injury induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) diabetes through the Nuclear Factor E2-Related Factor 2 (Nrf2) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathways in rats.
Materials and Methods: Thirty male Wistar Albino rats were separated into three groups: the control group, the second group (HFD+STZ) fed HFD and injected with STZ (35mg/kg b.w.), and the third group (HFD+ STZ+PEITC) fed an HFD, injected with STZ (35mg/kg b.w.), and given PEITC (40mg/kg b.w. by oral gavage). Feeding with HFD and PEITC was given for two weeks and continued one more week following STZ. Serum ALT and lipids levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, MDA, GST, SIRT1, NF-ƙβ, and Nrf2 levels were measured. Liver histological changes were detected.
Results: In comparison with the control group, in the HFD+STZ group, serum HDL levels, activities of hepatic antioxidant enzymes, Nrf2 activity, levels of GST, SIRT1, and NF-ƙβ reduced and besides, serum ALT, TG, TC, LDL / VLDL, and hepatic MDA levels increased (p <0.05). PEITC pre-administration led to improvement in these changes made by HFD-STZ (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Our data presented that PEITC ameliorated hepatic injury and serum lipid profile induced by HFD and STZ via the activation of Nrf2 and SIRT1 pathways. We can suggest that PEITC could be a possible candidate agent against liver diseases.

The relationship between time of delivery and composite outcomes in women who sent to the intermediate intensive care unit after delivery
Abstract
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the effects of delivery time on maternal-fetal outcomes by evaluating patients who were taken to the gynecological intermediate intensive care unit according to their delivery hours.
Material and Methods: This study cohort included 292 women aged 18-45 years, whom we followed up in the postpartum gynecological intermediate intensive care unit. We divided the patients into three groups according to the time they gave birth. Those who gave birth between 08:00-16.00 formed group1, those who gave birth between 16:00-24:00 group2, and those who gave birth between 24:00-08:00 formed group 3. We compared all collected data between groups.
Result: Hysterectomy (45(36%)) and blood transfusion (35(28%)) rates in the first group were higher than the other groups (p <0.001). Drain placement rates were higher in group 3 (48 (84.2%), p<0.001). No other operative approach and complications were significantly different between the three groups.
Conclusion: Regarding maternal-fetal outcomes and surgical complications, making the delivery outside of working hours or after 24:00 may not have a negative effect.

Authors: Kara Mehtap , l Beltinge
Published: December 2022

Background
To evaluate the demographic, clinical, laboratory findings, genetic results and final status of patients followed-up with the diagnosis of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS)
Materials and methods
Patients who were diagnosed and followed up in our pediatric nephrology center between January 2013 and June 2021 were included in the study retrospectively. Demographic data, history, age at diagnosis, physical examination, laboratory tests, organ involvement, genetic results, treatments, renal replacement therapies, follow-up and final status were evaluated.
Results
A total of 14 patients, 9 girls (64.3%) and 5 boys (35.7%) were included in our study over a period of 8 years. The mean age at presentation was 66.7±54.1 months (5.5±4.5 years) and the follow-up period in our center was 50.7±37.1 months. Recurrence was detected in 4 patients (28.6%) 18.5±20.4 months after diagnosis. In six of our patients (42.8%) neurological involvement was detected; 5 (35.7%) had hypertensive features and 1 (7.1%) had disease involvement. MCP mutation was detected in 4 patients (28.6%), CFH mutation in 3 patients (21.4%), and CFHR1-CFHR3 mutation in 3 patients (21.4%). While a total of 4 patients (28.6%) died in our center, 10 patients (71.4%) are still being followed up and treated. From these patients one is followed up with fresh frozen plasma therapy and the rest with eculizumab therapy.
Conclusion: In conclusion we wanted to present our patients who were diagnosed with aHUS in our center in a period of eculizumab availability in our country. Satisfactory results were detected with eculizumab treatment who did not respond to plasmaphresis and/or plasma treatment. We think that eculizumab treatment may be the first choice considering with detailed genetic analysis (including antifactor H antibody) in the light of future multicenter studies with larger of patients.

Authors: Ardat Mohammad , Izetbegovic Sebija , Tomic Vajdana
Published: December 2022

Background: Retained placenta is one of the major causes of primary and secondary post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) and active management of the third stage of labor reduces the risk of PPH. Objective: The aim of this paper was to compare the efficacy of intra-umbilical vein injection of carboprost versus oxytocin by time and success rates of total expulsion of the placenta. Methods: This prospective clinical study with quasi-experimental design 2x2x2(risk factors by medication by doses) was conducted at Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Clinical Center of University of Sarajevo in two-year period. Patients were randomized in 4 groups and 8 subgroupsby different medication doses and risk factors. The main outcome variable was expulsion of retained placenta and second outcome variables were: duration of time from intra-umbilical vein administration of drug to expulsion of retained placenta, the number of cases who required blood transfusion and antibiotics, postpartum hemoglobin after 24h. Statistical significance was accepted for p-values < 0.05. Results: The group B2 (UVI oxytocin 20 IU in 20 mL saline, surgical risk factors) and the group D2 (UVI oxytocin 20 IU in 20 mL saline, non-surgical risk factors) had shorter expulsion time (minutes) (Me=5; IQR=4 to 5; Me=5; IQR=4.3 to 6, respectively) compared with other groups (p<0.001). The success rates of total expulsion of the placenta by groups (A,B,C and D) were not statistically significant (70% vs. 82% vs. 72% vs. 78%, respectively; p=0.483). Post-intervention hemoglobin concentrations was statistically significantly greater in the group B(117.3±1.3) vs. the group A (112.1±1.3), (p =0.028). Conclusion: The time for placental expulsion was significantly shorter and postpartum hemoglobin was significantly higher in the intra-umbilical oxytocin groups than in the carboprost groups.

Authors: ROY ABHISHEK , BISWAS SOUMI
Published: December 2022

Background & objectives: Breastfeeding is an ideal infant feeding method that has been practiced since ancient times. For the past four decades, there has been a sharp decline in breastfeeding practices due to rapid expansion of milk technology, modernization and influence of various media. Considering these facts, the present study was planned to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of breastfeeding among mothers in study area which may help in improving exclusive breastfeeding rate and indirectly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated.
Methods: A hospital based observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in RG Kar Medical College and Medical College Kolkata, two tertiary care hospital of West Bengal. The study subjects were 300 mothers of children aged from 1 day to 2 years who attended Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology inpatient and outpatient departments of these 2 hospitals from January 2021 to December 2021. A structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect data.
Results: About 92% mothers had knowledge about correct positioning during breastfeeding. Bottle feeding and prelacteal feeds were practiced by nearly 30% mothers.
Conclusions: The study population had poor knowledge about breastfeeding. Also there was notable lack of attitude and practice of breastfeeding.
A Rare Case Report of Ludwig’s Angina: Early Detection and Prevention of Airway Catastrophe
Authors: Banerjee Sayani , Pathan Abdul
Published: December 2022

Background: Ludwig’s angina is infection of the soft tissue or gangrenous cellulitis, starting from the floor of mouth or base of the tongue. It can then directly spread to the soft tissue of neck, result in significant oedema and distortion of the adjacent airway, yielding fatal airway obstruction.
Case Report: We report a case of 29 year old female who presented to our emergency department with sore throat for 2 weeks, fever for 12 days, progressively increasing pain in throat for 1 week. She was unable to swallow any solid as well as liquids since last night. In our case we picked up a diagnosis of Ludwig’s Angina quite early as we kept a high threshold of suspicion secondary to subtle signs of an impending airway problem: change in patient’s voice and subtle swelling of her chin described by the patient herself. A CT neck & floor of mouth confirmed our clinical suspicion and diagnosis of Ludwig's Angina. We managed her with aggressive early intravenous (IV) antibiotics, IV steroids and IV hydration and could prevent a fatal airway complication to transpire.
Why Should an Emergency Physician Be Aware of This? We, the authors believe that every emergency physicians must be aware of Ludwig’s Angina, though a rare condition but can give rise to fatal airway obstruction and airway management mishaps in emergency departments. We highlighted the importance to recognise early signs of threatened airway, which can be subtle to begin with and easily be missed, if not a very high suspicion, which only comes from being perspicacious about this condition. Early diagnosis and management can reduce mortality and morbidity significantly.

Six different methods for Fe application viz. 100% as seedling priming, 50% in soil + 50% as foliar spray at seedling stage, 50% as seedling priming + 50% as foliar spray, 100% as foliar spray at seedling stage, 100% as foliar spray at flowering stage and 100% as foliar spray at fruiting stage @ 4 kg Fe ha-1. Iron was applied for 3 times at 7 day interval at all growth stages. Experiments were laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications. Different application methods of Fe significantly influenced the growth, yield contributing characteristics, yield, biochemical constituents, nutrient concentrations and their uptake by BARI Tomato-14. The highest values of most of the studied parameters including Fe content and uptake were recorded from the application of 50% Fe as seedling priming + 50% Fe as foliar spray. Significant and positive correlations among the growth and yield contributing parameters due to the application of Fe were observed. Interestingly the highest vitamin-C, protein, lycopene, N, K and Ca contents and uptake were observed in 50% as seedling priming + 50% as foliar spray of Fe @ 4 kg ha-1. Except few most of the studied nutrients were negatively correlated with Fe. Iron was biofortified by 66.28 µg g-1 in BARI Tomato-14. Results suggest that application of 2 kg Fe ha-1 as seedling priming + 2 kg Fe ha-1 as foliar spray at seedling stage for 3 times at 7 days interval along with the recommended doses of NPK fertilizers in soil can be practiced for Fe biofortification in tomato.

Background: Young breast cancer patients (≤40 years) have different unifying oncogenic signaling pathways when compared to older people. Vimentin is a filament intermediate. Vimentin expression has an important role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer progression. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between vimentin intensity and clinicopathological parameters in patients with triple negative breast cancer aged 40 years. Methods: Samples were taken from 45 paraffin blocks of patients with young woman with triple negative invasive breast cancer NOS type that met the inclusion criteria, immunohistochemical examination was performed with vimentin. Vimentin intensity was assessed using ImageJ analysis. Results: Samples were taken from paraffin blocks of patients with triple negative invasive breast cancer NOS type that met the inclusion criteria, immunohistochemical examination was performed with vimentin. Vimentin intensity was assessed using ImageJ analysis, Conclusion: This study shows that vimentin intensity is strongly associated with tumor progression, tumor mass size and tumor invasion so that it can be used as a prognostic factor in young triple negative breast cancer patients.

Background: Palliative care has an important role in cancer treatment. It has been established in Indonesia for years, however, palliative care does not give significant improvements which may due to the numerous components of palliative care. Objective: This research aims to identify factors affecting palliative care in Indonesia. Methods: This article is a literature review which was conducted through a systematic search from four online databases: Cochrane, Pubmed, Embase, EbscoHOST. The search revealed 45 studies then selected using PRISMA 2020 algoritm, leaving 8 studies to be analyzed. The factors affecting palliative care in Indonesia were then grouped into three points of view: the patients and caregiver; healthcare provider, further divided into healthcare personnel and system; as well as healthcare system. By knowing these factors it is expected that we can achieve optimal implementation palliative care in Indonesia, especially in cancer patient. Results: The factors influencing palliative care in Indonesia can be grouped into patients, healthcare provider and healthcare system. Conclusion: Palliative care improvement in Indonesia can be enhanced to achieve optimal implementation in cancer treatment.
O FILME “NOÉ” E AS APROPRIAÇÕES DO MITO BÍBLICO DA ARCA
Authors: Belmaia Nathany Andrea Wagenheimer
Published: December 2022

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar algumas apropriações feitas pelo filme Noé (do inglês original Noah), de 2014, inspirado no relato bíblico da Arca de Noé, o qual, sem atestação de existência histórica, pode ser considerado um mito. Compreende-se que a apropriação se conecta a usos de contextos posteriores que se ligam, necessariamente, ao passado, ou, àquilo que se concebe como passado, como os mitos. Estes, segundo a concepção de Mircea Eliade, são verdadeiros em âmbito sagrado e se remetem a um tempo primordial, o tempo fabuloso do “princípio”. Nota-se que o longa-metragem trás em seu bojo uma série de inserções de elementos e personagens inexistentes no relato original bíblico que visam, possivelmente, tornar o filme mais vendável e atraente no âmbito mercadológico. Dessa forma, o intuito desse trabalho é refletir, principalmente, sobre as diferenças e as apropriações que foram feitas em relação ao mito bíblico da Arca de Noé.

O presente trabalho discute o tema da fome em por nada, de Tarso de Melo. Ao contrário das abordagens mais comuns do tema pela poesia brasileira, que se centram na conjuntura social e na paisagem para caracterizar o sujeito, o poema de Tarso se centra nas formas do sujeito como parte da composição das paisagens da cidade, revelando as contradições da cidade, antagonismos de classe e acumulação de tempo nas paisagens.

O período de pandemia de Covid-19 foi um período que repercutiu não apenas na saúde da população, mas também na economia, na sobrevivência de uma forma geral. O ensino também foi muito impactado durante todo o período de isolamento e com reflexos no pós-isolamento. Este artigo teve como objetivo geral investigar como se deu a educação escolar em tempos de Pandemia (COVID-19) na Comunidade Quilombola São Felix. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa visou conduzir uma investigação acerca da percepção dos professores e pais de alunos sobre o ensino na Comunidade durante o período pandêmico. Para tanto realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa que teve como principais instrumentos: questionários, entrevistas e rodas de conversa. Esta pesquisa se justifica uma vez que as pesquisadoras já tinham conhecimento sobre algumas dificuldades enfrentadas para o ensino e a aprendizagem na escola São Felix e têm tentado contribuir. Através do desenvolvimento desse estudo, foi possível observar quanto os alunos não tiveram acesso a programas de auxílio governamental para implementar o ensino remoto digital. O método utilizado foi o envio de apostilas e a avaliação foi a partir da devoluta das atividades. Parte dos discentes conseguiu acompanhar de alguma forma enquanto outros demonstraram um retrocesso enorme segundo relato dos professores. Refletimos sobre as questões emocionais e benefícios de atividades culturais na comunidade. Através do desenvolvimento deste estudo, foi possível observar o quanto a falta de recursos financeiros pode aumentar as discrepâncias e dificultar ainda mais o acesso à informação por parte dos menos afortunados muito há o que se contribuir para o fortalecimento da contextualização e reafirmação das tradições culturais da Comunidade e principalmente para melhoria do ensino e da aprendizagem.
Language Policy in Uzbekistan

Published: December 2022

This paper discusses the language policy and its current place in Uzbek society, focusing on the legal basis that the Uzbek government has created for the mother tongue. The adoption of the Uzbek language as the state language 34 years ago was a prelude to the country’s independence, setting the stage for the emergence of a new generation proficient in their mother tongue while helping clean and enrich the language’s vocabulary.The scope of the use of this state language remains limited since many prestigious offices still keep documents in Russian, and signs, advertisements, letterheads, receipts, menus, and many other items have yet to be Uzbekized. Another problem is the decline of written literacy in Uzbek among young people, which is associated with the “phased introduction” of the Latin alphabet that led to the circulation of two competing scripts (i.e., Latin and Cyrillic alphabets).
Furthermore, the programs of teaching mother tongue and Uzbek language subjects in primary and secondary schools need serious reform since the state language literacy is low for both Uzbek school graduates and those graduating from Russian-speaking schools. The language literacy of ambassadors and other government personnel must also meet the requirements. More recently, educational reforms are widely taking place across Uzbekistan, including the expansion of foreign language teaching—on top of the state language training—as a way of integrating into the world community.
The authors put forward proposals and recommendations to tackle these challenges: The oral and written literacy of graduates from secondary schools needs to be improved; to this end, reforms are needed in the assessment and testing system, and new types of tests should be adopted in higher education institutions.
A targeted, unified approach based on international standards is required for foreign language teaching. At the same time, a precise evaluation system should be put into place to determine the professional competence of teachers. While ensuring the effectiveness of foreign language training courses and their coherence with the educational process, Uzbek language training should also continue in higher education.
Going to space

Published: December 2022

Motion between earth and outer space can be construed in different ways in different languages. The aim of this study is to identify all prepositional constructions used to describe motion from earth to space in English and Swedish and investigate how they contribute to different conceptualizations of earth, space, and the journey in between. It also aims to highlight some challenges of using corpora for cross linguistic research. The data was collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English and Korp and analyzed through the lenses of image-schema and construal. The study shows that there are many ways to construe this type of motion in both languages. Different parts of the journey can be put into focus, and earth and space can be construed in different ways, depending on the perspective of the speaker. The most common constructions in both languages focus on the goal and construe earth and/or space as containers.
A source within a source?

The sagas of Icelanders contain a great wealth of personal names both of historical and fictional nature. Personal names function both as identifiers for individuals but also evoke associations that supersede the name’s lexical or identifying meaning, for example, cultural or social associations such as age, ethnicity, and ideology. This article examines personal names as a source within a source and appraises the use of literary and socio-onomastics in the context of the Íslendingasögur using the example of the elusive difference between “Icelanders” and “Norwegians” in the sagas. The onomastic analysis is based on seven shorter tales and explores the differences in personal names in Icelandic and Norwegian individuals. Based on the onomastic data gathered, this article concludes that there are certain regional differences in name-giving visible in the sagas and that saga authors either had authentic onomastic material at hand or tried to emulate realistic personal names.

Published: December 2022

The year 2020 was strange for Indigenous movements in Brazil. On-site gatherings were cancelled due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Indigenous movements, in connection with Indigenous media initiatives, aimed at occupying the screens instead. An abundance of live streams popped up on diverse social media platforms. During April 2020, online observations were carried out using an approach inspired by digital ethnography. This article offers a discussion about collecting research data within this changing context. The main aim is to reflect upon online observations as research practice and live streams as sources for scholarly investigation. Additionally, this paper discusses how to think about presence, place and temporality in the research context.
