Vizitacija Katedralnog arhiđakonata biskupa Maksimilijana Vrhovca
Authors: Ledić Stipe
Published: January 2023

U radu se na temelju izvorne arhivske građe kanonske vizitacije Katedralnog arhiđakonata sagledavaju ishodišta, tijek i završetak intenzivnog sukoba između biskupa Vrhovca i Zagrebačkog kaptola u posljednjem desetljeću 18. stoljeća. Biskup Vrhovac vizitirao je Katedralni arhiđakonat 1792. – 1794. godine. Vrhovac je postao zagrebačkim biskupom kao dokazani zagovaratelj jozefinskih reformi. Od početka biskupske službe provodio je reformske odredbe cara Josipa II. u Zagrebačkoj biskupiji. Nakon careve smrti suočavao se s otporom većeg dijela kanonika Zagrebačkog kaptola, koji su zbog reformi izgubili prijašnji utjecaj. Kaptol je opstruirao biskupa, nije slao tražena izvješća zbog čega se vizitacija prolongirala. Manji dio kanonika priklonio se biskupu. Kaptol je uspio zadobiti podršku Ugarske dvorske kancelarije, koja mu je jamčila da nakon proglašenja dekreta (zaključaka) vizitacije ima pravo njihova osporavanja pred nadležnim crkvenim sudom. Dugotrajan postupak pred metropolitanskim sudom završio je postizanjem dogovora između biskupa i Zagrebačkog kaptola. Objavljivanjem novih dekreta vizitacije 1800. godine, koji su sadržavali i nove statute Kaptola, biskup je potvrdio svoj osnovni cilj uvođenja »čvrstog reda« na svim područjima funkcioniranja Zagrebačkog kaptola i drugih institucija i službi u Katedralnom arhiđakonatu.

Authors: Vladić Marko
Published: January 2023

Alojzije (Vjekoslav) Hegedić, svećenik i pristaša Stranke prava, u politiku se aktivnije uključuje nakon dolaska u Karlovac 1886., godine, kada postaje duhovnim pomoćnikom u dubovačkoj župi. Agitirajući na izborima za Hrvatski sabor 1887. za pravaškog kandidata u Karlovcu, Hegedić je očitovao svoje pravaško političko opredjeljenje. Za dubovačkog župnika izabran je 1888., a 1891. godine postaje i zastupnik u gradskom zastupstvu Karlovca. Na izborima za Hrvatski sabor 1897. godine kandidiran je na listi Udružene opozicije te izabran za narodnog zastupnika u podravskom izbornom kotaru s biralištem u Kloštru. U radu je težište stavljeno na Hegedićevo saborsko djelovanje tijekom kojeg se u svojim istupima, vjerno zastupajući učenje Ante Starčevića, bavio političkim, gospodarskim i drugim temama koje su bile aktualne u Banskoj Hrvatskoj tijekom nagodbenog razdoblja, napose u vrijeme vladavine bana Khuen-Héderváryja.

Material Science Versus SSI: Bioinspired Omniphobic Functional Surfaces Against Surgical Site Infections
Authors: Osorio Chad Patrick , Ma Nicolle , Kuzhikkat Prabath , Ahmed Nadeem
Published: January 2023

Surgical site infections (SSI) present a significant morbidity and mortality rate post-surgery, with effects more pronounced in developing countries than in developed ones. SSIs are not only personal burdens shouldered by individuals and their families; they also present a social cost to healthcare systems, with billions of dollars in economic losses every year due to unaddressed post-operative complications. There exists a number of initiatives and best practices to combat SSI, yet especially for developing countries, the statistics for infections remain relatively high, due to multiple factors.   The authors propose the potential adaptation of newly developed surface-processed polycarbonates to be adapted for utilization in surgical centers and surrounding areas. These materials, originally manufactured for application in the automotive industry, are both oleophobic and hydrophobic, which can be used to coat commonly-used objects in the surgery center, thereby reducing chances of microorganism retention, including infection-causing viruses, bacteria and fungi. Especially in underserved areas with limited resources, sanitation difficulties, and challenging hygiene practices, non-single use materials with these self-cleaning properties would be highly valuable for operating rooms and post-surgical care wards.   Based on principles in exposure science, these new materials can provide additional necessary environmental safeguards to prevent risks of SSI before, during and after surgery, and are thus potential candidates for further studies for medical application.
COMPARING THE EFFICACY OF INTRAVENOUS CIPROFLOXACIN AND CEFTAZIDIME FOR TREATING SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS IN LIVER CIRRHOSIS PATIENTS
Authors: HAROON M , TARIQ S , KHAN MSN
Published: January 2023

The aim of current analysis was to compare the efficacy of intravenous ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime for treating spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with liver cirrhosis. A retrospective study was conducted in the Medicine Department of SIMS, Lahore, from September 2021-September 2022. The study selected 110 cirrhosis patients with SBP were included in the study and were divided into two groups, A and B. Group A (n=55) was administered ciprofloxacin intravenously, and group B (n=55) was administered ceftazidime intravenously. The patients diagnosed with type 1 hepatorenal syndrome were treated with albumin and terlipressin daily. The clinical signs and causes of infection did not vary between both groups. The infection was resolved in 50 patients (90.9%) ceftazidime patients and in 51 patients (93%) ciprofloxacin patients. Out of 17 patients who developed, 10 patients (58.8%) completely recovered after terlipressin and albumin treatment, 1 (5.8%) showed partial response, and 6 (35.3%) did not respond. Switch therapy with ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime is equally effective in treating spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients with ascites.
Accuracy of Pain Tolerance Self-assessment Versus Objective Pressure Sensitivity
Authors: Haupt Edward T. , Porter Giselle M. , Charlton Timothy , Thordarson David
Published: January 2023

Introduction:

Effective treatment of postoperative pain after elective surgery remains elusive, and the experience of pain can be variable for patients. The patient's intrinsic pain tolerance may contribute to this variability. We sought to identify whether there was a correlation between subjective report of intrinsic pain tolerance and objective measurement of pressure dolorimetry (PD). We also sought to identify whether a correlation existed between PD and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores of pain intensity, physical function, and mood. PD is a validated, objective method to assess pain tolerance. Markers of general mental and physical health are correlated with pain sensitization and may also be linked to pain tolerance.

Methods:

PROMIS scores, dolorimetry measurements, and survey data were collected on 40 consecutive orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery patients at the initial clinic visit. Patients were included if they had normal sensation on the plantar foot and no prior surgery or plantar heel source of pain.

Results:

Objective dolorimetry data reflecting 5/10 pain for the patients were 24 N/cm2 (±8.9). Patients estimated their pain threshold as 7.3/10 (±2.1). No correlation was found between objective and subjective pain threshold identified. A moderate negative correlation of R = −0.44 was observed regarding PROMIS-M with dolorimetry data (P < −0.05). PROMIS-M score >60 had a significant decrease in pain threshold to 15.9 ± 8.5 N/cm2 compared with 25.7 ± 8.9 N/cm2 for those who were less depressed with a PROMIS<60 (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Subjective pain tolerance is not correlated with the patient's own objective pain threshold or markers of mental health and should not be used to assist clinical decision making. PROMIS-M is inversely correlated with objective pain. Higher PROMIS-M scores are associated with a lower objective pain threshold.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to determine the performance of Grade 7 learners in TLE class specifically in cookery and the issues encountered in the implementation of modular distance learning. The descriptive method of research was utilized in this study. A researcher-made questionnaire was the main data-gathering instrument. Respondents were the 100 Grade 7 students of Dagatan Integrated National High School. The statistical tools that were used by the researchers throughout the study were simple frequency and percent counts, weighted mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient at a .05 level of significance. The respondents perceived issues encountered in using the learning module in terms of physical absence to great extent. While, the academic support, availability of instructional materials, learning process, learning space at home, feedback and monitoring, and assessment was perceived as moderate extent. The level of performance of respondents in terms of written works was at risk or below 75 while in terms of performance tasks they got outstanding grades. Based on the findings it was concluded that the hypothesis stating that there is no significant relationship between the perceived issues encountered in using learning modules and performance in TLE is not sustained with regards to the availability of instructional materials and feedback and monitoring of written works. Furthermore, the same conclusion was observed with regard to the relationship of the profile of the respondents in terms of gender to written works, and performance tasks. On the other hand, the rest of the variables under study were found not significantly related, hence the null hypothesis in this is reflected as sustained. Thus, it was recommended that the Department of Education may consider the findings of this study in the development of necessary academic materials. Similar study may be conducted focusing on other areas of TLE-Exploratory Course while addressing other problems and challenges met not only by the students but also by the teachers.

This study aimed to determine the perceptions of the Grade 11-TVL Cookery students in blended distance learning through personalized and competency-based learning approaches, and the challenges of this modality. More so, it determined whether these perceptions had significant relationships to the development of hard and soft skills, and cognitive skills in Cookery. The descriptive – correlational method of research was utilized using survey questionnaire, rubrics, and summative test. The statistical tools used were mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage. Pearson r was used to determine the significant relationships among the given variables. Results disclosed that there were moderate to strong positive and significant relationship between the variables except to the correlation between personalized learning and cognitive skills. Parallel to this, there were also moderate strong positive and significant relationship between the availability and use of educational technology and the skills of the students. However, the perception on the challenges in terms of instructional materials is significantly related to communication as a measure of soft skills, while the social support is significantly related to the level of hard and soft skills, but not to cognitive skills.

Sobre la biología reproductiva de la Plasta (Systellura longirostris bifasciatus) en Chile central
Authors: Marin Manuel
Published: January 2023

Se estudió la biología reproductiva de la Plasta (Systellura longirostris) en Chile central, que habita lugares semiabiertos y abiertos en lugares de suelo seco. La época de postura de huevos varió de septiembre a noviembre, con solo una postura anual, el nido era una pequeña depresión en el suelo sin materiales de nido y la nidada fue de dos huevos, aunque ocasionalmente puede ser de un huevo. Ambos adultos incuban y al parecer solo la hembra (al menos durante el día) cubre los polluelos. Su incubación fue entre 18 y 20 días. Los pichones tenían una gran movilidad y desde los 8 días en adelante se podían encontrar a varios metros del nido y desde los 15 días en adelante fue imposible encontrarlos. El adulto al acercarse al nido hacia diferentes despliegues de distracción y los pichones desde la edad de 12 días hacían despliegues de amenazas. La dieta incluye insectos voladores y terrestres. La población de Chile Austral es migratoria y la de la zona centro-sur es parcialmente migratoria. Hay años en que algunos individuos no migran más al norte y se quedan en zonas costeras. En general a la zona de estudio llegan a finales de agosto y se mueven al norte entre finales de febrero a mediados de marzo. En los últimos 10 años no se ha encontrado nidificando en el área y esto puede ser por varios motivos, pero coincide con un alto aumento de zorros Lycalopex griseus y un periodo de sequía de varios años.

Se establecen sinonimias: Pseudolucia annamaria Bálint y Johnson, 1993 = Pseudolucia clarea Bálint y Johnson, 1993 y Lycaena ludicra Weymer, 1890 = Madeleinea sigal Benyamini, Bálint y Johnson, 1995. Se incluyen datos sobre la distribución regional (D), los períodos de vuelo (FP) y, por primera vez, el estado de conservación (C). Las especies endémicas de Chile (n=27) también están marcadas. La especie Nabokovia ada Bálint y Johnson, 1994, Pseudolucia johnsoni Benyamini y Bálint, 2011, Pseudolucia kechico Bálint, Benyamini y Johnson, 2001 y Pseudolucia faundezi Benyamini y Bálint, 2011 se consideran localmente extintas. El ritmo acelerado de la agricultura y las industrias que producen alteraciones del hábitat está poniendo en peligro muchas de las especies poliamatinas que hay en áreas restringidas debido a que su ciclo de vida esta estrechamente relacionado con sus plantas hospederas y algunas especies de hormigas. En el apéndice, se registra una nueva especie para la fauna chilena, Dione juno miraculosa Hering, 1926 de la Región Arica-Parinacota.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Huong , Nguyen Thi Phuong Anh , Ta Thi Bich Lien
Published: January 2023

Google Classroom (GC) is a popular application used during the pandemic. To examine students' perceptions at a high school in Vietnam of using GC in learning English, the authors carried out a qualitative-and-quantitative study in the 1st semester of the school year 2021-2022. The online study was a must for students at almost all levels in Vietnam to ensure their course completion throughout the Covid-19 waves. A 19-item questionnaire was delivered to 179 participants, followed by structured interviews with eight questions for 12 randomly-selected students. The study results indicate that there is a general consensus in students' perceptions of exploiting GC as a tool to learn their target language. Most students felt satisfied with employing the application because it is easy to use and useful for their language learning despite the fact that they got little technical assistance from their parents. This paper is expected to enhance the beliefs of teachers and researchers in general and those of languages in particular in utilizing GC to improve their students’ online learning quality.

DESIGN OF TORQUE TESTING SETUP FOR SHAFT HAVING SPLINES AT TWO ENDS
Authors: Hulakund Govindaraj , B Dattatreya , Rajashekar R
Published: January 2023

The shaft having splines at both ends is used in aircraft door, which is made up of AMS4928 one of Titanium- Aluminum alloy. A latch lock mechanism used to open and close a translating motion aircraft door. A lift lock mechanism that contains a lift lock cam and a follower which follows the cam, as well as a door drive linkage coupled to the cam follower, rotates the latch shaft, operated by a handle rotates the lift lock cam. When the handle is turned there is considerable torsional load applied on the shaft. The present work deals with the designing a rig for testing of a shaft ensuring that its splines are not getting damaged. The test requirement is to twist the rod about 25° and to monitor the torque with end results. This extreme torsional load is considered for those cases where there is no formal application of load but unexpected torsional thrust. The rig is designed in such a way that the rod tilted as per the required tilt by having simple setup. Setup includes adapters to hold the rod and a leverage bar for twisting the shaft.

This research method is case study research method. Sampling using a key person. Data analysis is done by calculating the used capacity. The results showed that the management of the procurement of raw material for fresh fruit bunches was carried out by planning a system for one year of production based on the RKT (Annual Work Plan), organizing raw materials for fresh fruit bunches from internal plantations and external plantations and the implementation and supervision carried out were very good. seen from the average number of realizations. Utilization of the actual used capacity of Kabuau PPKS is fairly good, with an average of 85.55% of the factory's installed capacity. The obstacle faced in procuring FFB raw materials at Kabuau PPKS from internal plantations is the lack of smooth delivery of fruit. The external constraint is the supply of fruit that is not of good quality.

Intracranial Tumour Presenting with Varying Seizure Types
Authors: Obadeji Adetunji , Adegoke Benjamin O
Published: January 2023

Epileptic seizures are one of the common manifestations of brain tumors. Identifying the cause of seizures remains the main challenge in most developing countries; either due to the absence of appropriate radiological equipment like the CT scan and MRI or when available, the affordability of the cost of such investigations by the patient becomes a challenge. This makes radiological evaluation a non-routine investigation for seizure management in this part of the globe. Often times, such seizures manifest as focal seizures with secondary generalization and are often refractory to antiepileptic treatment but with remarkable response to surgical intervention, particularly in benign ones. Here, we present a 22-year-old man who presented with varying seizure types following an intracranial cyst, and poor response to anti- epileptic medications. The changing presentations possibly suggest the progression or increase in the size of the cyst. An awareness of this presentation may lead to an earlier identification of the cause of such seizures.
A case series report of Tuberculosis patients with Vitamin D deficiency in Zambia

Published: January 2023

An association of Vitamin D deficiency with Tuberculosis remains a valid assumption. It has been observed that TB is highly prevalent in certain ethnic groupings and regions of the world. Populations with darker skins are prone to vitamin D deficiency. The regions inhabited by people with darker skin coincides with high TB burden settings. Vitamin D has a key role in immune-modulation of the host response to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infection. Studies have demonstrated early sputum culture conversion to negative, clinical recovery and radiological improvement with Vitamin D supplementation. However, there is currently no consens us on the advantages of this supplementation in TB treatment. We present the first case series report of pulmonary TB patients with severe deficiency of Vitamin D in Zambia. Additional data from randomised control studies is warranted.

Published: January 2023

Background: Occupational tuberculosis among mycobacteriology laboratory workers has received insufficient attention especially in countries with high burden of tuberculosis despite the associated greater risk than the general population. The aim of the study was to conduct a risk assessment of tuberculosis (TB) laboratories and biosafety Practices among laboratory health workers.

Method: A descriptive study conducted among the laboratory health workers involved primarily in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in two selected states in Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire based on tuberculosis laboratory procedure risk assessment was self-administered by consenting laboratory workers. Data obtained were based on the degree of exposure, viability of bacilli, aerosol generation, laboratory configuration, typology and fitness of the staff to work in the TB laboratory. Risk assessment of tuberculosis (TB)laboratories and biosafety practices was determined by these sets of questions and categorized into low, middle and high risk.

Results: Fifty-eight (58) of the 64 laboratory health workers participated in the study. Their average age was 38.8±7.6 years and male to female ratio of 1 to 1.4 and 82.7% had worked in the TB laboratory for 

less than 10 years. The calculated risk for occupational TB was low 55(94.8%) and moderate 3(5.2%) without any of the respondents having high risk. With regards to laboratory practices, majority of the respondents (91.4%) did not reuse slides for smear staining, 81.0% admitted that the laboratories were well-ventilated and75% regarded their laboratories safe to  work. However, pre- employment screening for TB, HIV, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease was done in 3(5.2%), 7(12.1%), 2(3.4%) and 1(1.7%) respectively.

Conclusion: The result of this study shows that the risk of laboratory health workers exposure to tuberculosis (TB) and potential hazard is low, however moreattention be given to infection control policies and pre-employment screening for TB.
