MODALITÉS DE CONSTRUCTION DE L’ETHOS DANS LE DISCOURS DES GUIDES DE MUSÉE
Authors:   Universitatea din Craiova, Roumanie, IONESCU Alice
Published: May 2022

Our paper aims to analyze the means and methods of construction of the speaker’s ethos in the discourse of guides during guided museum tours. The general perspective of our research is that of discourse analysis, centered on the specialized discourse, more precisely on the oral discourse of museum guides, whose generic characteristics can be considered as markers of identity of the cultural institution to which they belong. The questions our study will attempt to answer are: What type of ethos do museum guides build? What are the speech strategies used by the guide to reflect a rewarding image of oneself / the institution s/he represents and to build his/her professional ethos? Our goal is to identify linguistic tools and discursive markers that allow us to reconstruct the process of building ethos in the speaking exercise. The oral corpus on which our analysis is based was collected in Dijon and Beaune between 2015 and 2016.

In the nineteenth century, many writers went to Auvergne to describe the hot springs, recording their impressions in travel diaries or letters to relatives. They are largely fuelled by representations, even fantasies. What is the relationship with space and time as established in a region considered to be harsh and wild, through the testimonies of these writers?
ON THE ROAD EN FRANCE : L’ART DE SE PERDRE EN AUTO-STOP AVEC SYLVAIN PRUDHOMME
Authors:   Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Allemagne, SCHNEIDER Melanie
Published: May 2022

The road novel is inspired by the picaresque novel and the Bildungsroman. However, the German researcher Špela Virant notes that instead of contributing to the building of the protagonist’s identity, the road novel which emerges in the postmodern era rather encourages the dissolution of the subject’s identity. This can also be seen in the novel Par les routes by Sylvain Prudhomme. Here, tough, we are concerned with the progression of the subject’s dissolution, focusing mainly on the factors that play a fundamental role in it. Our purpose is therefore to portray the dissolution of the hitchhiker’s identity throughout the novel. The analysis showed that the road, the car and hitchhiking as well as the touristic character of the hitchhiker’s travels are responsible for the dissolution of his identity. Hence, our analysis supports Virant’s observation concerning the deconstructive character of the road novel.
ART ET ARTIFICES DE LA PRÉFACE VIATIQUE : VOYAGEURS EN ORIENT
Authors:   Université Chouaib Doukkali El Jadida, Maroc, SIDRI Samira
Published: May 2022

This study aims to investigate the many forms of the preface in relation to the conditions of its production and the profile of the preface writer in certain travel accounts in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, or Turkey from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. It is interesting to see the diversity of the construction of the self in the prolegomenes, intended to enhance the good reception of the narrative. From the simple traveller in search of exoticism to the passionate missionary, the prefaces of travel relationships offer an array of discursive strategies where the narrator's ethos underpins a rhetoric specific to the travel literature. Lady Montagu, Bugéja, Eberhardt, Montesquieu, Loti and other travellers invite the reader not only to explore a travel experience, but also to grasp the secrets of a rhetorical approach consciously undertaken.
THE FORMATTING OF SPACE AND TIME IN TOTALITARIAN HISTORICAL DISCOURSE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY)
Authors:   PhD in HV.I. Vernadsky Taurida National University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Chekanov Vsevolod Iu.
Published: May 2022

The subject of this article is the influence of socio-political engagement in non-democratic societies on the formation of scientific and historical discourse and on its further functioning and use for non-historical – political and educational purposes. It is analyzed not only from the point of view of the unique features inherent exclusively to totalitarianism, but rather as a derivative of socio-political requests for history that arise and are realized in any society, constantly becoming more complex over time. For Soviet totalitarianism, a characteristic feature of such requests was the absolutization of revolutions, which were interpreted as pivotal, milestone events that signified the main content of the progress of social development at literally all its stages. Because of this, Soviet historiography and the historiography of countries dependent on the USSR was characterized by attempts to “conceptually update the status” of a number of historical events, even those that preceded revolutions in their generally accepted meaning. In addition, an in-depth study of revolutions was characterized by the introduction of new terminology into scientific circulation and the identification of new elements of the division of historical time and space within revolutions. The article examines this side of the problem, in particular, on the examples of formatting the chronological framework of the Eighty Years War for the Independence of the Netherlands (“Dutch bourgeois revolution” in Soviet terminology), as well as on the example of the officially accepted periodization of the 1917 revolution in Russia and the called “Triumphal march of Soviet power”. Since reformatting the historical time of revolutions was not the only purpose of processing the past, the article focuses on other examples of such formatting. First of all, this concerns military operations on the Eastern Front of World War II, which turned into the Great Patriotic War under the pen of Soviet scientists by analogy with the Patriotic War of 1812, which laid the foundation for its subsequent absolutization and sacralization.
GENDER BARRIERS AND ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT OF „AL. I. CUZA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
Authors:   University of Iași, Ichim George Marian
Published: May 2022

Discriminating experiences of women in the academic world discourage them to take part in contests to occupy higher academic positions. People tend to evaluate academic management based on what they consider to be normal behaviour for women and men, respectively. Because of this, women are perceived as more inappropriate to occupy an academic managerial position than men, especially in fields (such as the academic field) where male stereotypes are regarded as more efficient. Focusing on the obstacles women met in their attempt to reach a scientific/ academic management position, we have noticed that one of the major difficulties women in the academic world are confronted with when they have to decide in relation with their participation in the academic management refers to creating a balance between family life and their career, as domestic activities are normally time-consuming, limiting the period which could be dedicated to professional activities.

Authors: Samar Ezgi , Erul Büşra
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the caffeine consumption status of students in sports sciences and their happiness levels. The study was quantitative and was conducted with the participation of 228 volunteer students studying in sports sciences from various universities (Artvin Coruh, Trabzon, Bayburt, Iğdır, Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen, Gazi, Atatürk). The Oxford Happiness Scale (OHS) developed by (Hills & Argyle, 2002) and this questionnaire were used to collect the data. Statistical analysis of the data was performed with independent groups T-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis. As a result of the analysis, while a positive and low-level significant relationship was found between the students’ happiness scores and the age variable (p < .05); no significant difference was found in the variables of gender, body mass index (BMI), department of education (p > .05). When looking at the variable of doing sports, statistically significant differences were found, and it was concluded that the mean score of those who did sports as licensed-national was significantly higher than the mean score of those who did sports as hobbyists and amateurs (p < .05). Again, a statistically significant difference was found in happiness scores according to chronic disease states; (p < .05) no difference was found according to smoking status (p > .05). At the same time, a statistically positive and low-level significant relationship was found between happiness scores and the amount of coffee consumed daily (p < .05); No statistically significant relationship was found between happiness and the amount of black tea and chocolate consumed daily (p > .05).
Scaffolding as Teachers’ Guidance Role in the Context of Constructivist Learning Approach
Authors: Çakar Özkan Esra
Published: May 2022

This research aims to determine teachers’ opinions about guidance roles in the constructivist teaching-learning process, the meanings they place on guidance role and the types of scaffolding they use. Phenomenological design (phenomenology), one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study, and teacher’s guidance role/scaffolding was determined as the phenomenon of the study. The research was conducted with 15 teachers from different branches working in Burdur in the academic year of 2021-2022. A semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher was used as a data collection instrument in the study. The qualitative data obtained in the study were simultaneously coded and classified by two different researchers using descriptive analysis method. The findings revealed that teachers were aware of their guidance roles, but they could not fulfill these roles due to the intense and difficult content of the course, the lack of time and national high-stakes tests, and they saw themselves as leader/guide, manager/administrator and information provider in the teaching-learning process. In addition, teachers preferred operational scaffolding more and they do not prefer strategic scaffolding while using conceptual and metacognitive scaffolding in the teaching-learning process. The results were discussed in line with literature and some suggestions were presented.

論我國著作權法關於戲劇、舞蹈著作之定義、要件與範圍－以美國法為中心
Authors: 姚信安 姚信安
Published: May 2022

隨著時代演進，戲劇、舞蹈等著作漸朝多元且非傳統之方向發展，持續為著作權法有關戲劇、舞蹈著作之理解與界定帶來挑戰，釐清並且建立戲劇、舞蹈著作之定義、要件與範圍，有其實際且迫切之需求。然而，我國自1985年將戲劇、舞蹈納為著作權法法定著作類型至今，幾乎未見任何立法或學術之關注與討論。有鑑於此，本文擬借重戲劇、舞蹈等藝術領域已然蓬勃發展許久，且近年對我國著作權立法有相當程度影響力之國家—美國之立法與實務經驗，比較、檢討並且完善我國著作權法關於戲劇、舞蹈著作定義、要件與範圍等方面之原理與判斷，進而提出本文之看法與建議，以供各界參考與應用。

 
With the progress of the times, the creation of dramatic and choreographic works has gradually gone non-traditional, diversified, and fusional. The understanding and definition of dramatic and choreographic works has thus been severely challenged. Given the foregoing, there is certainly an urgent need to clarify the definitions, elements, and boundaries of dramatic and choreographic works. Surprisingly, lawmakers and scholars have never shown their attention to the issues of dramatic and choreographic works since dramatic and choreographic works became one of the subject matters in Taiwanese Copyright Law. In view of the above mentioned facts, this project will initiate the research on the definitions, elements, and boundaries of dramatic and choreographic works by consulting the experience of the U.S., which has had a long history of dramatic and choreographic creation, since the law of copyright in the U.S. has a considerable influence on copyright legislation and judicial decisions in Taiwan. Through a comparative study between the U.S. and Taiwan, the article will review and examine the deficiencies of the definitions, elements, and boundaries of dramatic and choreographic works in Taiwanese copyright law, and try to provide comments and workable suggestions for future legislation and judicial decisions. Hopefully the fruit of the research will spark further concern and discussion about copyright issues of dramatic and choreographic works.
納保法實施後稅務專庭對於納稅者權利保障的實踐

Published: May 2022

立法院於2016年12月26日以專法的方式審議通過「納稅者權利保護法」（以下簡稱納保法），並且於2017年12月底正式實施。長期以來立法者僅著重達到國家稽徵效能的租稅立法政策在此做了重大的改變。納保法的實施，在於確保納稅義務人在憲法上所受保障的基本權利，如生存權、平等權、財產權、比例原則以及正當法律程序等能獲得實現。然而抽象的稅法條文仍有賴行政法院透過判決加以具體化，對此本文將在以下針對1. 租稅法律主義之確認（納保法第3條）；2. 量能課稅原則的實現（納保法第5條）；3. 租稅規避之具體化（納保法第7條）；4. 確立稽徵程序中徵納雙方義務及舉證責任（納保法第11、14條）；5. 總額主義之確定（納保法第21條）為重心，探討行政法院近年來對於納稅者權利保護的重要貢獻。

 
"The Legislative Yuan passed “The Taxpayer Rights Protection Act” as a special law on December 26, 2016, which took effect at the end of December 2017. For a long time, the single objective of achieving the efficiency of tax collection embraced by the legislature had been changed. The implementation of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act marks a significant turning point in this regard. Specifically, the implementation of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act is to explicitly concretize, realize, and ensure the basic rights of taxpayers guaranteed by the Constitution, such as the rights to life, equality, property rights, the principle of proportionality, and due process of law. However, the abstract provisions of the Act still depend on the interpretation and decision of the administrative courts to achieve its intended legal objectives. Hence, this article focuses on the pertinent and recent cases under scrutiny based on the judgments of the administrative courts under the administrative law. It will focus on the following issues: 1) The confirmation of tax legalism (Article 3 of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act), 2) The realization of equality principle in taxation (Article 5 of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act), 3) The definition of tax avoidance (Article 7 of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act), 4) The specific obligations of the parties and the burden of proof in the collection process (Articles 11 and 14 of the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act), and 5) The determination of the principle of taxation on net income (Article 2 the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act). It will also analyze and address the important contribution of the administrative courts to the protection of taxpayers’ rights in recent years. "
對臺灣環境稅立法的幾點建議
Authors: 陳汶津 陳汶津
Published: May 2022

環境保護議題是各國所關心的重要問題，也是國家任務之一。為達到環境保護、永續發展的生存環境，許多國家除以國際條約方式降低二氧化碳排放量以外，同時也在國內採取行政管制或經濟調控措施，而環境稅（或稱能源稅）即為手段之一。然而具有行為引導目的的環境稅與量能課稅原則本質上互相扞格，因此要將現有以財政目的為主的稅捐體制改制成為以引導目的為主，實為不可能，但在現有稅捐體制下納入引導目的要素，則是無法避免。過去我國一直研議開徵能源稅而未果，本文即就過去分別由立法委員陳明真（2006年）、田秋堇（2008年）、鄭麗文（2011年）、李應元（2012年）所提出的能源稅條例立法草案作一評釋，並從稅捐法及財政法的角度，以及適度參酌德國立法提出個人意見，認為：一、應將現行各種能源公課加以整併；二、個人及家庭基本電費得列為所得稅之免稅額；三、為鼓勵使用再生能源，應對再生能源免徵能稅；四、有鑑於不同主管機關之間的橫向連結至為重要，應明定稽徵機關與能源主管機關的資訊須互相勾稽。

 
Environmental protection is an important global issue that concerns all countries. In order to achieve environmental protection and sustainable living conditions, many countries strive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by exercising administrative control or employing economic measures. Environmental taxes (or energy taxes) in particular are one of the economic measures which aim at guiding human behaviors that are inconsistent with the ability-to-pay principle of tax law. Thus, it is impossible to tailor the principles of taxation for guiding human behaviors. However, the current trend indicates that incorporating elements of guidance into the existing ability-to-pay based tax law is inevitable. Despite the lengthy discussion of enacting levying environmental taxes, it has never come to reality. Drawing on tax and fiscal law perspective and the German legislation experiences, this paper discusses previous legislation drafts on energy tax proposed by legislators like Min-Jen Chen (2006), Chiu-Chin Tian (2008), Li-Wun Cheng (2011), and Ying-Yuan Lee (2012). It further makes the following propositions that might have significant implications on future legislations: 1) Various kinds of special energy-related levies should be consolidated, 2) the basic electricity costs for households and individuals should be tax-deductible, 3) renewable energy should be exempted from energy taxes in order to encourage its use, and 4) the information flow between tax authorities and energy supervisory institutions should be facilitated.

In seropositive patients, HCMV disease may occur either by reactivation of a pre-existing strain or by reinfection with a new one. This study aims to assessment of HCMV antibody titers to determine the immune status and the extent to which patients are at risk of infection and measurement of antibody avidity to HCMV and its comparison with molecular diagnosis. The total IgG and IgM using nephlometry technique were measurement. The IgG levels (Mean ± SD) of control group (804.0384±173.789) showed highly significant differences (P< 0.000) among studied groups, and had elevated mean values in comparison with KD and HD patients. Also, IgM levels (Mean ± SD) showed significantly decreased (P< 0.000) in KT patients (20.685±4.787) and HD patients (21.751±6.026) in comparison with healthy control group (129.4503±35.3807). Anti-HCMV IgM, anti-HCMV IgG and anti-HCMV IgG avidity were measured using a method elctro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) by using cobas e411 device. A study conducted on HCMV IgM antibodies showed that there were a percentage of 4(16.66%) among the recent infections and a percentage of 3(12.5%) among cases of intermediate HCMV infection in KT group only, while the rest of the groups (17, 70.84%)  did not show any recent infections with HCMV.

Kazneni progon u predmetima pranja novca
Authors: Glavić Ivan
Published: May 2022

Unatoč tendencijama hrvatskog zakonodavca za širenjem zakonskog opisa i time olakšavanjem dokazivanja pranja novca, pravna shvaćanja u sudskoj praksi i nevelik broj kaznenih postupaka upućuju na izrazito sužen doseg tog kaznenog djela. Kod zakonskih oblika koji nisu bili predmetom osuđujućih presuda u ovom se radu analizira sadržaj normativnog okvira pranja novca, povezanost s međunarodnim pravom, kao i razlozi nepokretanja postupaka ili oslobađanja okrivljenika. Zakonska obilježja pranja novca te razgraničenje od drugih kaznenih djela i nekažnjivih ponašanja analizirani su u kontekstu gospodarskog sustava kao zaštićenog pravnog dobra. Rezultati rada upućuju na to da je učinkovita kaznenopravna reakcija ipak moguća primjenom ustaljene sudske prakse za kaznena djela općenito, kao i raščlambom postojećih sudskih odluka za kazneno djelo pranja novca.
Višestruki prometni recidiv kao povreda prava na život

Published: May 2022

Nedavnom odlukom Europskog suda za ljudska prava u predmetu Smiljanić protiv Hrvatske od 25. ožujka 2021., zahtjev broj 35983/14, usvojen je zahtjev roditelja osobe poginule u prometnoj nesreći koju je skrivio višestruki prometni recidivist zbog neučinkovite primjene propisa o sigurnosti prometa na cestama, što predstavlja povredu članka 5. Konvencije – prava na život. Utvrđena je povreda prava na život u materijalnom i proceduralnom aspektu jer domaćim zakonom nije osiguran odgovarajući regulatorni okvir kažnjavanja počinitelja prometnih prekršaja koji ih učestalo ponavljaju, što je dovelo do nepovjerenja javnosti u poštivanje vladavine prava i sposobnosti vlasti da spriječe pojavu sličnih nezakonitih djela. Rad upućuje na to da (pre)blaga penalna politika u području prometnih delikata ne ispunjava zahtjeve specijalne i generalne prevencije.

Inventory Control of Vegetable Oil Products Using Continuous Review System (Q) Approach and Periodic Review System (P) Methods in Retail Companies: A Case Study of Indonesia
Authors: Kholil Muhammad
Published: May 2022

Retail companies are businesses that have a significant role in providing quality staples to improve public health. Every retail company wants the production inventory control system to run well to meet consumer demand. Suppose the amount of inventory ina retail company is too small. In that case, it will disrupt consumer demand for products that consumers want to buy and lose the opportunity to earn profits if an order is more significant than forecast. Meanwhile, if product inventory exceeds the need for a product, it will cause high costs, and if stock is stored for too long, it will result in damage and expiration. This retail company sells quality products and provides a wide range of excellent and complete products and makes it easier for customers to find their needs as one of the best. A company that needs to have a product control system to maintain sales and sell quality products and finally compete with other national and foreign retail companies. However, the current product inventory processing is not optimal because it is only based on previous inventory data. It can be seen from the varying amount of inventory and the high frequency of ordering. This study aims to obtain the most optimal comparison results by using the minimum total cost criteria and minimizing the cost of purchasing the product. This study compares two methods, namely the Continuous Review System (Q) method and the Periodic Review System (P) method. The most suitable method was the Q method with the total inventory cost of Vegetable Oil Products of Rp in this study. 13,371,600 with an efficiency of 42% of the entire inventory costs incurred by retail companies.

Cette étude a été réalisée au cours de l’été 2020, alors que les parents venaient de vivre une fermeture complète des écoles pendant plusieurs mois dans la grande région de Montréal à cause de la pandémie de COVID-19. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient d’identifier les déterminants sociodémographiques, médicaux et psychologiques influençant la décision des parents de retourner leur enfant à l’école en septembre 2020, puis, d’analyser le changement d’opinion des parents par rapport au retour à l’école de leur enfant suite à la lecture de données probantes vulgarisées. Après lecture de la fiche d’information comportant des données probantes vulgarisées sur les facteurs de risque associés à la COVID chez les enfants, nos résultats montrent que plusieurs parents ont changé d’opinion quant à l’intention de renvoyer leur enfant à l’école. Avant lecture de la fiche d’information, 86,6 % des parents avaient l’intention de retourner leur enfant à l’école. Suite à la lecture de la fiche d’information, le pourcentage de parents ayant l’intention de retourner leur enfant à l’école est resté inchangé. Le pourcentage de parents indécis est passé de 6,4 % à 7,1 % et le pourcentage de parents ne souhaitant pas renvoyer leur enfant à l’école a diminué de près d’un point de pourcentage passant de 7,1 % à 6,3 %. Cette étude met en lumière l’importance de proposer des sources d’informations valides, précises et simples pour informer et rassurer la population des risques associés au coronavirus chez les enfants.

Breast cancer is an extremely dangerous disease, which if diagnosed in time has a high survival rate. The incidence and mortality rate from breast malignancies are increasing, so in order to reduce these numbers, new technological solutions are being looked into, that should enable the earliest possible detection of breast carcinoma. Although the original solution was seen in traditional computer-assisted detection systems, CAD, applied to various radiological breast imaging methods, the results of various studies discussed in this paper found that they did not meet their original expectations in breast cancer diagnosis. The use of conventional CAD systems still had too many limitations such as a decrease in particularity and positive predictive value with an increase in incorrect results and an increase in revocation rates. However, the development of artificial intelligence, AI-based algorithms has improved the quality and accuracy of conventional CAD systems. Unlike conventional CAD systems based on hand-crafted features, deep learning, as a subfield of AI, is based on representational learning. In representational learning, the algorithm itself during training determines features in the image that indicate the presence of lesions. Recently, such deep learning algorithms have been applied to various radiological methods. In this paper, the analysis of various studies discusses the possibilities, but also the limitations of new AI-based applications for different modalities of breast imaging. Due to the small number of studies conducted on the topic of AI systems and the need for an extremely large set of data for training and validation of the algorithm, many scientists still doubt this new method. Despite these limitations, the AI approach has the ability to detect useful features in an image that are still invisible to the human eye. Future advances in technology will significantly improve AI systems and their implementation in health systems will be inevitable.
Use of X-rays to prevent transfusion-induced graft-versus-host disease

Published: May 2022

Transfusion associated graft versus host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare complication of transfusion treatment with blood products containing viable lymphocytes. The risk of developing TA-GvHD depends on number and sustainability of lymphocytes in blood product, host’s immune system reactivity and the difference in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system between donor and recipient. Standard method of TA-GvHD prevention is irradiation of blood products with ionizing radiation and absorbed dose of 25-50 Gy. The aim of irradiation is inactivation of viable lymphocytes in blood product containing cells (red blood cells, platelets, granulocytes) and lymphocyte proliferation inhibition in blood product recipient. In the last two decades, gamma irradiation has been extensively abandoned and replaced with specially designed cabinet machines using X-ray irradiation which are suitable for hospital and blood bank use. This reduces the risk of accidental or deliberate misuse of radioactive source, solves radioactive waste disposal issues and reduces ionizing irradiation exposure of employees in blood establishments. In Blood Bank of Croatian Institute of Transfusion Medicine, X-ray irradiation of blood products has been carried out since 2014 with a year rate of 20,000 irradiated cell blood products used in treatment of patients at risk of developing TA-GvHD.

Opća potporna skrb novorođenčadi se pruža u jedinicama intenzivne skrbi, a uključuje brigu o toplinskom okruženju uz pomoć inkubatora koji omogućuju uspostavljanje kontroliranih uvjeta i neometano praćenje vitalnih funkcija. Zbog toga, uobičajena MR pretraga nije moguća jer se takvi uvjeti ne mogu uspostaviti unutar samog prostora uređaja. MR kompatibilni inkubator predstavlja velik napredak u dijagnostičkoj obradi nedonoščadi i novorođenčadi. Cijelo vrijeme snimanja i transporta omogućeno je praćenje vitalnih znakova djeteta (frekvencija rada srca, saturacija, temperatura i vlage unutar inkubatora). MR kompatibilni inkubator nudi mogućnost snimanja nedonoščadi niske gestacijske dobi u kontroliranim uvjetima. Povećana je kvaliteta snimaka i smanjena potreba za sedacijom ili anestezijom djeteta.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: It is recommended that HIV re-testing should be done at third trimester, labour and at six months postpartum. Reports indicate low rates of HIV re-testing among women after delivery. The study assessed the uptake of HIV re-testing among women during postpartum after initially testing negative at ANC clinic in Ubungo district, Dar es salaam.

METHOD: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among women who delivered during the study period. Data was collected through a standardised questionnaire and secondary data was collected from the Health Information System and ANC cards. SPSS version 28 was used to analyse data. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio and to quantify the association.

RESULTS: 426 women participated in the study. The overall HIV re-testing rate was 76.1%, 23.9% did not re-test and 2.1% were infected with HIV after the second test. Married women have higher re-testing rates (52.8%) than single, separated and divorcees. Women aged 25-34 years have significant higher (84.6%) proportion of re-testing for HIV than those < 25 and those > 34 years of age (p<0.001). Other significant predictors for HIV re-testing were women who made at least five or more visits to ANC and those who knew the HIV status of their partners.

CONCLUSION: HIV re-testing has not reached the Tanzania national target of 95%. Efforts to sensitise communities on the importance of early ANC booking at ANC and re-testing for HIV during labour, delivery and postpartum should be enhanced.

Antiretroviral combination therapy regimens comprising of a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (Emtricitabine, EMC), integrase inhibitor (Dolutegravir, DTG), and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (Tenofovir Alafenamide, TAF) are frequently prescribed for HIV patients. The objective of this research was to establish and validate a precise and reliable method for the simultaneous estimation of DTG, EMC, and TAF, respectively in a marketed tablet dosage form using RP-HPLC system. RP-HPLC (Jasco) method was developed using Qualisil-5 BDS C18 column (250 mm × 4 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consists of acetonitrile: orthophosphoric acid (0.1%) adjusted in water pH 4.7 with triethylamine in the composition of 43:57 v/v at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min using UV detection at 271 nm at ambient column temperature, keeping the injection volume 20 μL. The retention times of DTG, EMC, and TAF were found to be 8.321 mins, 2.210 mins, and 4.089 mins, respectively. All the criteria for the validation (linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness) were observed to be within the acceptation range. The described method was linear over a concentration range of 2-12 μg/mL, 8-48 μg/mL, and 1-6 μg/mL for the assay of DTG, EMC, and TAF, respectively with r2 values of 0.999 in each case. High recovery of ~99.5% was observed in all cases with a % RSD of <2.This method was successfully developed to estimate the concentration of DTG, EMC, and TAF in tablet dosage form simultaneously owing to high precision, reproducibility, and accuracy attributes.. Keywords: RP-HPLC, Dolutegravir, Emtricitabine, Tenofovir Alafenamide, Simultaneous estimation, Validation.
Duplex kidney with calculus obstruction of lower moiety lessons learnt.
Authors: Lakshman Ganesh , Krishnamoorthy Sriram , Kumaresan Natarajan

Duplex kidneys are one of the commonest congenital malformations of the urogenital system that one comes across in urological practice. It can be complete or incomplete. Ureteral duplication is usually asymptomatic but can accompany by urinary infections, ureterocele, vesicoureteral reflux or other congenital complications. The presence of stone in one of the systems may sometimes pose a therapeutic challenge to the urologists, especially when they attempt to remove the ureteric stone endoscopically. We report a 33-year-female who presented with acute left ureteric colic. Axial imaging revealed a large distal ureteric calculus. During ureteroscopy, no calculi were seen in the entire course of ureter upto renal pelvis. Screening with an image intensifier revealed a stone adjacent to the line of ureteroscope, raising suspicion of a duplex system or radio-opaque shadow outside the lumen of ureter. On further evaluation, a mucosal elevation with oedema was seen above and lateral to the ureteric orifice, raising suspicion of complete duplication of the ureter with pseudo ureterocele. However, no other ureteric orifice was observed. Deroofing of the edematous mucosa revealed the underlying large ureteric calculus. Retrograde pyelogram confirmed a duplex system and two ureters with stone in the upper moiety. Our report highlights the unusual presentation and the hard lessons learnt. It is prudent to search for accessory ureteric orifice especially when stone is not seen during ureteroscopy but seen under image intensifier.

The effect of Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) supplementation in short children is relatively varied in its effect on growth and quality of life. To confirm the variation in the results of the study, in addition to optimizing the growth of stunted children from lost generation, this research is important. The purpose of this study was to optimize the growth and quality of life of stunted children through micronutrient supplementation of Zn and Fe. The study was designed experimentally with a randomized pretest-posttest control group design pattern. The subjects of the study were children under five who were randomly selected, who met the following criteria: living in the local area, age 36 - < 60 months, Z score TB/U < -2 SB, not suffering from chronic diseases and congenital defects, their parents were willing to become respondents and their children become research subjects. The number of subjects was 60 children, divided into two groups, namely 30 children in the treatment group and 30 children in the control group. The data collected include the characteristics of the subject, nutritional status (indices of BB/U and TB/U), blood Hb status, and quality of life of children (quality of physical, motor, cognitive, social, autonomy, negative mood, and positive mood) with interview method using a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and using a different test with Independent t test and Paired t test. The results showed that Zn and Fe supplementation significantly affected changes in height, weight and blood Hb levels. The margin of change in height, weight and blood Hb levels in the treatment group was significantly greater than that in the control group. While the condition of the quality of life for short children is relatively normal, they cannot be categorized as healthy children. Generally experience disturbances in the quality of cognitive function and negative mood. For this reason, it is recommended to give Zn and Fe supplements in an effort to handle the incidence of stunting in children so that they can spur increased growth and quality of life.
The Japanese Roboticist Masahiro Mori’s Buddhist Inspired Concept of “The Uncanny Valley” (Bukimi no Tani Genshō, 不気味の谷現象)
Authors: Borody W.A
Published: May 2022

In 1970, the Japanese roboticist and practicing Buddhist Masahiro Mori wrote a short essay entitled “On the Uncanny Valley” for the journal Energy (Enerugi, 7/4, 33–35). Since the publication of this two-page essay, Mori’s concept of the Uncanny Valley has become part and parcel of the discourse within the fields of humanoid robotics engineering, the film industry, culture studies, and philosophy, most notably the philosophy of transhumanism. In this paper, the concept of the Uncanny Valley is discussed in terms of the contemporary Japanese cultural milieu relating to humanoid robot technology, and the on-going roboticization of human culture. For Masahiro Mori, who is also the author of The Buddha in the Robot (1981), the same compassion that we ought to offer to all living beings, and Being itself, we ought to offer to humanoid robots, which are also dimensions of the Buddha-nature of Compassion.
