Aktywność społeczna jako element kształtowania tożsamości terytorialnej na przykładzie obszarów wiejskich województwa wielkopolskiego
Authors: Józefowicz Iwona , Michniewicz-Ankiersztajn Hanna
Published: March 2024

Tożsamość terytorialna to zjawisko, które może być rozpatrywane na wielu płaszczyznach. Przyjmuje się, że w ujęciu geograficznym traktowane jest jako występowanie kontaktów interpersonalnych czy społecznych, które przyporządkowane są do konkretnych przestrzeni. Miarą tożsamości jest zatem stopień uczestnictwa społeczności lokalnej w życiu społecznym i kulturalnym obszaru. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest scharakteryzowanie aktywności społecznej mieszkańców obszarów wiejskich województwa wielkopolskiego w zakresie kultury jako czynnika budowania tożsamości terytorialnej. Z dostępnych w BDL danych wybrano zestaw cech formalnych definiujących sieci społeczne na obszarach wiejskich, które poddano analizie przestrzennej. Ponadto wykorzystano metodę wskaźnikową opartą na modelu Perkala.

W świetle uzyskanych wyników najwyższym poziomem tożsamości terytorialnej odznaczają się mieszkańcy gmin leżących w strefach peryferyjnych województwa wielkopolskiego oraz gminy wiejskie z dominującym rolnictwem ekstensywnym położone na wschodzie województwa.

Monitoring Public Interest and Sentiment on Basic Income: Using Google and Twitter Data in the U.S.
Authors: Lee Soomi , Park Taeyong
Published: March 2024

This study uses data from Google Trends and Twitter to analyze how public interest and sentiment towards Universal Basic Income (UBI) changed across all 50 states and Washington D.C. between 2018 and 2021. We specifically selected this time period as it includes both Andrew Yang’s UBI campaign during the Democratic primaries in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 when UBI gained attention due to the federal government’s unconditional cash payment to almost all citizens. To overcome the limitations of sporadic opinion polls, we built on a recent development of the rescaling method to generate longitudinal Google Trends and conducted Twitter sentiment analysis. We observed a modest rise in public interest in UBI during Andrew Yang’s campaign, especially in blue states, and a significant increase across all states at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it quickly waned, the level of public attention became elevated compared to the pre-pandemic level. Contrary to previous studies, our analysis also reveals that overall sentiment became less positive after the peak interest during the pandemic, as more people engaged in online discussions.
Historical Perceptions about Children and Film: Case Studies of the British Board of Film Censors, the British Film Institute, and the Children’s Film Foundation from the 1910s to the 1950s
Authors: Terui Takao
Published: March 2024

This article explores how ideas regarding children and film were shaped and shifted from the 1910s to the 1950s by consulting three critical moments and key institutions: the British Board of Film Censors in the 1910s, the British Film Institute in the 1930s, and the Children’s Film Foundation in the 1950s. By doing so, the article elucidates how discourse and ideas about children’s films and audiences have transformed, resulting in policy shifts from restrictive to encouraging approaches that appreciate children’s tastes and the entertainment value of children’s cinema. Based on comparative historical research, this article empirically reveals that perceptions of children’s cinema have changed throughout history and that the policy documents offer significant materials to explain this.
Government Supervision of Oil Palm Plantations in Indonesia: Legal Issues and Proposed Remedies
Authors: Nasir Mohamad , Bakker Laurens , van Meijl Toon
Published: March 2024

Palm oil is a major Indonesian export product, but governmental supervision of plantation corporationsʼ activities on the ground frequently fails, which leads to environmental damage as well as conflict between companies and communities. By employing a socio-legal approach, this study found that the legal framework of the development of oil palm plantations is imprecise, unclear and incomplete and, as a consequence, causes the governmentʼs weakness in supervising oil palm plantation operations. We discovered three main causes of this incompleteness of law in supervising oil palm plantations: the delay in establishing the implementing regulations, the absence of sanctions in case of non-compliance, and the use of imprecise words, and complex terms and language. In addressing such incompleteness, this study suggests drafting more detailed rules to minimize delegation to lower regulations, using more precise terms and concepts, and considering sanctions for officials who do not carry out their obligations. Furthermore, discretion can be an alternative to overcome the existing legal incompleteness in supervising oil palm plantation operations.
Chaotic control problem of BEC system based on Hartree–Fock mean field theory
Authors: Shen Yang , Xu Meng
Published: March 2024

Due to the difficulty of studying nonlinear quantum systems and the unique composition of Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) systems, BECs face significant difficulties in solving dynamic analysis and chaotic control problems. Therefore, Hartree–Fock mean field theory is introduced to study the chaotic characteristics, control, and synchronization issues of BEC systems loaded on optical lattices. First, the stability and chaos of BECs in optical lattices were analyzed. Subsequently, constant shift method and activation control were introduced based on the Gross–Pitaevskii equation to achieve control and synchronization of the BEC system. Second, based on the Lyapunov exponent theory, offset parameters are added to BEC chaotic control to achieve control of particle density. Finally, based on the stability theory of linear systems, a control term is introduced to achieve variable analysis of the system’s drive–response system, ensuring that chaotic systems with different initial conditions can still achieve good synchronization and anti-synchronization control. The chaotic problem of BEC system was analyzed using numerical and theoretical methods in the experiment. The effect of adjusting the parameters of the BEC system under the constant shift method is significant. The system exhibits a chaotic state under the Lyapunov exponent, which is mainly concentrated between [3.4, 4.5], demonstrating good system stability. When the offset constant range is [4.21, 5.67], the maximum Lyapunov exponent value is below 0. In the problem of chaotic synchronization, adding activation control causes the system’s time series to exhibit anti-synchronization with spatiotemporal variable variation, while adding control terms leads the system to tend towards synchronization and anti-synchronization with time evolution. The analysis of chaotic control problems in BEC systems can provide reference value and theoretical basis for the dynamic research of quantum physics and related nonlinear systems.

Association Between Musculoskeletal Pain and Frailty Over Time in Older Adults
Authors: Vennu Vishal , Alsaad Saad M. , Alenazi Aqeel M. , Bindawas Saad M.
Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose:

There is a high frequency of frailty in patients with musculoskeletal pain. Pain from osteoarthritis and lower back pain may be associated with frailty. However, the future risk of frailty among older adults with pain remains unclear. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to examine the association between musculoskeletal pain and the risk of becoming prefrail and frail in older adults.

Participants and Methods:

A secondary analysis was performed using data from baseline and 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, and 8-year follow-ups of the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). The OAI recruited participants from 4 clinical sites in the United States, between February 2004 and May 2006. A self-reported questionnaire was used to determine the baseline musculoskeletal pain status in older adults (n = 1780) 65 years and older, including pain in the lower back, hip, knee, and at 2 or more sites. Using the Fried phenotypic criteria, participants were classified as nonfrail, prefrail, and frail at each period over 8 years.

Results:

After adjusting for age, sex, race, education, marital status, annual income, smoking status, comorbidities, and body mass index, binary logistic regression modeling using generalized estimating equations revealed that in older adults musculoskeletal pain in the lower back and at multiple sites was associated with a slightly but significantly decreased risk of prefrailty over time (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.95-0.99, P = .019; AOR = 0.96, CI = 0.92-0.99, P = .032). The association between musculoskeletal pain and frailty among older adults was not statistically significant (all P > .05).

Conclusions:

Musculoskeletal pain did not independently significantly increase the risk of prefrailty or frailty over time. It remains possible that when musculoskeletal is combined with other factors, the risk of prefrailty and frailty may be heightened. Further research into the combination of characteristics that best predict prefrailty and frailty, including but not limited to musculoskeletal pain, is warranted.
Psychodynamic Psychiatry and the Care of Persons with Vision Loss and Blindness
Authors: Ross Edward , Alfonso César A.
Published: March 2024

The authors describe the clinical relevance of the psychiatric concept of bidirectionality when caring for persons with comorbid disorders, and they propose a psychodynamic framework to guide the treatment of persons with vision loss and blindness. Since persons with vision loss have an increased risk of depressive and anxiety disorders, they recommend targeted screening, integrated services, and a biopsychosocial approach to clinical care. The psychoanalytic concept of aphanisis, first described by Ernest Jones and later developed by Lacan and Kohut, is briefly discussed. Common psychotherapy themes in the treatment of persons who experience vision loss from systemic illness include reactivation of memories of past traumas resulting in avoidance, social withdrawal, depressive states, catastrophic thinking, a sense of foreshortened future, anhedonia, and fear of disintegration and invisibility. Psychotherapy also serves to correct negative introjects from ableist societal attitudes.

Her career developed in parallel as a clinician and as an academic psychiatrist, with leadership roles in the American Psychiatric Association, the Association of Women Psychiatrists, and the American Academy of Psychodynamic Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis. After describing what constitutes the essence, substance, and form of psychoanalysis, she reviews the historic shift within psychoanalysis in the United States from intrapsychic dyadic practice with selected patients to the application of psychodynamic concepts to everyday psychiatric care of patients with complex morbidities in multiple clinical settings.
Hesitancy and Time in Fertility Treatment
Authors: Lucey Brita Reed
Published: March 2024

In this article, I employ a psychodynamic lens to describe how women's fantasies of time as standing still, which is encouraged by sociocultural forces, is used to undermine the notion of the biological clock. These fantasies, also fueled by the timeless nature of the unconscious, can lead to hesitancy in not only initiating fertility treatment but also in complying with fertility treatment recommendations. When this happens, hesitancy is often unconsciously utilized in a conflict about becoming a mother. Once these hesitancies are worked through in therapy through a focus on previous losses, fertility treatment often moves forward. I present the psychotherapy treatment of a 45-year-old woman with both fertility treatment hesitancy and fertility compliance hesitancy, who had not only significant childhood losses but also significant losses in her ongoing fertility treatment. I also comment how my countertransference, which urged me to work through issues quickly in therapy, was informed partly by my experience as a former obstetrician and gynecologist and hindered my work with this patient.
Knowledge of Memory Reconsolidation Can Improve Psychodynamic Technique
Authors: Smith Jeffery
Published: March 2024

The gold standard of scientific medicine is using knowledge of underlying processes to shape treatment. This has previously not been possible for psychotherapy, but with the science of memory reconsolidation, requirements for change can be more precisely defined and can improve psychotherapeutic technique by focusing on three areas: the activation of maladaptive implicit learning, the provision of disconfirming information, and attention to transmission between consciousness and limbic memory. Overall, better understanding of processes helps liberate psychotherapy from rigidities dictated by set methods.

O objetivo do estudo é apresentar uma proposta de um Canal de Acolhimento e Denúncia para questões pertinentes ao assédio moral, no contexto de uma organização pública do Poder Judiciário. Investigou-se a conceituação trazida pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT), a realidade do Tribunal de Justiça (TJ), juntamente com relatórios e cartilhas apresentadas por órgãos fiscalizadores como o Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) e Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), para assim apresentar o Canal de Acolhimento e Denúncia: “#ASSÉDIONÃO”. A pesquisa se caracteriza como pesquisa-ação exploratória com abordagem qualitativa. Tratar-se-á de um canal vinculado a Agenda 2030, de fácil acesso, atendimento célere e efetivo, passando pela Comissão de Enfrentamento ao Assédio tanto no início do atendimento quanto da sua finalização, deixando dessa forma a Comissão a par do deslinde das notícias de acolhimento ou denúncia. Sugere-se adaptações na Secretaria de Gestão de Pessoas (SGP) com a vinculação de servidores diretamente à Comissão de Prevenção. Com estas alternativas simples e de baixo custo busca-se a efetivação do direito do servidor a um emprego decente e o resguardo da sua dignidade como trabalhador.
FATORES ASSOCIADOS A DESPESAS COM RESSARCIMENTO DE PESSOAL REQUISITADO
Authors: Fernandes de Azevedo Jailton , Erivando Xavier Junior Antonio
Published: March 2024

A Justiça Eleitoral brasileira pode requisitar servidores de outros órgãos para atender suas demandas, o que tem potencial de causar uma dupla perda para os órgãos de origem, que não podem contar com esses servidores e ainda precisam arcar com sua remuneração. Nesse contexto, surgem conflitos relacionados ao orçamento das instituições, evidenciados em movimentos normativos que visam restringir o uso indiscriminado desse instituto, como a regulamentação de limites para reembolso com cessões, requisições e movimentações para compor força de trabalho no âmbito da Administração Pública Federal. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo consistiu em analisar a associação entre fatores estruturais dos Tribunais Eleitorais (quantidade de servidores requisitados, municípios, zonas eleitorais, eleitorado e cargos efetivos providos) e a despesa executada no elemento de despesa 96 (Ressarcimento de Pessoal Requisitado). Para tanto, dados relativos ao exercício financeiro de 2022 foram obtidos por meio dos portais de transparência dos tribunais, das estatísticas eleitorais do TSE e do portal Siga Brasil. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da correlação de Spearman. Foram identificadas correlações negativas moderadas e fortes com o eleitorado, o quantitativo de zonas eleitorais e de cargos efetivos providos dos Tribunais Regionais Eleitorais. Por fim, não foram encontradas associações significativas com a quantidade de servidores requisitados. Esses resultados contribuem para uma melhor compreensão da dependência de servidores requisitados por parte da instituição e podem auxiliar no planejamento orçamentário para os próximos exercícios financeiros.

Published: March 2024

Central Europe is often considered to be a source of nationalist pathologies and plagues that could infect “proper” (Western) Europe. This image is at best outdated, as Western Europe and the United States have (and always have had) their own nationalist and conservative authoritarian resources. Moreover, Central Europe has also been a space of original political thought, albeit often obscure or forgotten, which can contribute to our understanding of the contemporary world beyond the borders of the region.

“A War Could be Going on Outside, and You Wouldn’t Even Know”
Authors: Bunzl Natasha Bernstein
Published: March 2024

This article is based on four months that I spent working as a chef at an Israeli restaurant in London. I first explore how restaurants craft nationalist narratives through food and then interrogate the political consequences of those narratives. My argument unfolds over the course of a meal, in which each dish comes to represent different aspects of Israeli identity. Each section begins with the “script” that chefs and waiters recite as they present dishes to diners. This article explores the curiosities and silences embedded in the restaurant’s de-politicized version of Israeli identity based on a fantasy of the country that erases war and the occupation of the Palestinian people from the narrative. I argue that there is a harm by omission to this recasting of Israeli history and current reality on the ground, and expose how food, specifically in highly stylized restaurants, can be used to create national narratives, particularly in diaspora.

Surface Treatment: Sizepress Tradition, Current Development and a Pigmented Chemical Future
Authors:   Vice President Research and Development Paper and Pigment Systems Omya AG, CH 4665 Oftringen, Switzerland, Gane P.A.C.
Published: March 2024

Evolution of surface improvements on paper are driven by technical needs, in respect of printing and writing, economical drivers, such as mineral versus fibre cost and market niche exploitation, runnability and aesthetic requirements. From the simple anti- feathering absorption control of hydrophobisers, such as starch, to the sophistication of digital printing, the need to modify the surface of paper is an accepted criterion for investment in our industry. Simple pond and roll application has, through increases in speed and the application of pigmentising, developed in recent times to controlled film application processes. The demands throughout these developments for the scientific understanding of the interactional processes between fluids and substrate: absorption, hydraulic penetration, basepaper fibre debonding and roughening: and the complex rheology of pigment suspensions, based on stability, surface chemical and hydrodynamic criteria, have usually been met retrospectively. The machine concept or application is developed, installed, trouble-shooting achieves compatibility in the industrial environment and only latterly does the question of optimisation through a thorough scientific analysis come to the fore. By studying the models and accepted design criteria that have emerged throughout this evolution, it is pro- posed that advances through extrapolation of the models and by seeking new untried dimensions of the models can be made which can act to fuel the development further. Notwithstanding that current knowledge in multivariate applications inevitably remains inexact, the author attempts to demonstrate how the concepts available today could be extended to build potential for development in the future. Mechanics of suspension flow, dewatering and network absorption remain the primary controlling parameters and a critical review of past and present assumptions and new research is timely in order to re-fashion the directions that can be deduced. Rates of absorption as a function of available fluid vol- ume arising from the resistance dynamics of rapid dewatering provide a key opportunity for improving surface coating holdout especially in the challenging on-machine context where the time- scale for hydrophobising is too short and the wettability and moisture profiles are at their most critical. On the basis of this review, it is proposed that high rate absorption, through the use, for example, of ultra-high surface area filler pigments in the substrate, together with rapid low solids immobilisation of pig- mentised formulations with disparate coating and basepaper permeabilities, provides a means of maximising the potential for surface treatment applications both at high speed and in the con- text of sophisticated niche product development. The roles of basepaper and pigment structure are therefore also an integral part of the review.

Published: March 2024

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of ankle, hip and shoulder flexibility on relative maximum strength performance, through the one repetition maximum (1RM) test, in the overhead squat movement (OHS) in CrossFit ™ practitioners. 52 individuals of both sexes who practiced CrossFit ™ were investigated in two boxes based in the cities of Canoas and Gravataí, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The results showed that general flexibility presents a positive, weak and non-significant correlation with the relative strength of OHS (ρ=0.0152; p=0.9159). Stratifying by joint and sex, for women, a weak, positive and non-significant correlation was found between relative OHS strength for the ankle joint (ρ=0.1556; p=0.4477) and weak, negative and non-significant correlations for the hip and shoulder joints (ρ=-0.0256, -0.0369; p=0.9008, 0.8579) respectively. For men, weak, positive and non-significant correlations were found in the ankle, hip and shoulder joints (ρ=0.0395, 0.3012, 0.2523; p=0.8480; 0.1348; 0.2136), respectively. Despite showing slightly greater positive associations for male individuals, linearity cannot be asserted between the variables analyzed.

Published: March 2024

Musculoskeletal Tuberculosis occurs in 1%–3% of patients with tuberculosis, and Tuberculous trochanteric bursitis (TTB) is responsible for 1%, assuming it as a rare clinical condition, especially if it occurs in immunocompetent patients. This is a case report about a 51 years old man, with pain in right trochanteric area, without swelling or inflammatory signs, 1 year of evolution. About 20 years ago, he suffered an infected traumatic local hematoma. Ultrasound revealed trochanteric bursitis. He was then submitted to a bursectomy. Histological study revealed chronic necrotizing granulomatous bursitis, with negative Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) Tests. After 6 mouths the patient suffer relapse of his complains. The MRI revealed intraosseous edema of the great right trochanter, inflammation of adjacent soft tissues and small infratrochanteric collection. Analytically, CRP of 1.24 mg/dl and positive interferon Gamma. A new bursectomy and curettage were performed with sequestrectomy. Lowestein culture was positive for AFB, it was identified protein MPT64, and a positive DNA Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex research. It was associated medical treatment with antibiotics (12 months). Currently with clinical and imaging improvement, without relapse, after 1 and a half years of follow-up. Usually, TTB arises from the reactivation of an unknown primary infection, whose clinical presentation is often vague, characterized by chronic symptoms. This condition should be considered in the diagnostic discussion whenever a case of recurrent bursitis arises despite the treatment instituted. With the decline in the incidence of tuberculosis, the number of clinical cases of TTB described in the recent literature has decreased considerably, with special attention being given to the reporting and sharing of these cases, with the goal of keeping this diagnosis in perspective in the discussion and orientation of cases of trochanteric bursitis.

Introduction: The alveolar bone is part of a specialized structure of the bones of the face, specifically the maxilla and mandible, this being the main support for the teeth, which is composed of cortical bones that form the vestibular and palatine walls and lingual. It is also made up of spongy bone, within it there are numerous medullary perforations, being smaller in the cortex. The alveolus is subject to continuous changes that are produced by dental eruption, chewing and a variety of periodontal diseases that can influence its constant remodeling. Materials and methods: An electronic search was carried out to provide support and justification for this literature review. This bibliographic search was carried out in the Pubmed / Medline, Science Direct and Scielo databases of scientific articles published in English, which had the objective of describing the bone remodeling processes that occur in the alveolar bone after dental loss and the possible treatments for vertical bone regeneration that can be provided to the patient for the subsequent placement of the dental implant. Results: Of the different conventional vertical bone augmentation techniques described in the literature over the years, CAD/CAM titanium meshes are the ones that present the highest percentage of gain. Likewise, greater bone gain was observed combined with collagen membranes than without them. Distraction osteogenesis presented a lower percentage of gain, followed by guided bone regeneration with non-resorbable membrane and, finally, the onlay or bone block graft technique. However, with the recent appearance of titanium occlusive barriers, the literature reports the highest percentage of gain. Conclusions: Regarding complications, we can conclude that distraction osteogenesis and block bone grafts are those that obtained the highest complication rate, followed by CAD/CAM titanium meshes and non-resorbable membranes.
The effect of review quality on purchase intention in cross-border e-commerce: The case of Hungary

Published: March 2024

This study investigates the impact of review quality (a situational stimulus) on consumers' risk perception and purchase intention in cross-border e-commerce based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model. In doing so, quantitative research involving 400 Hungarian respondents was performed. The data were analysed using composite-based structural equation modelling (SEM). The study concludes that an experience created through highly qualified online reviews of previous consumers has a significant effect on mitigating consumers' risk perception while increasing their purchase intentions. The study also differentiates two aspects of risk, including perceived risk and affective risk, and reveals the two-fold mechanism of the decision-making journey. These results enrich the existing literature by supporting the use of the SOR model and introducing review quality as a situational stimulus to explain consumers' risk perception and purchase behaviours in cross-border e-commerce. Additionally, the study also provides valuable guidance in website design that can stimulate purchasing while lowering online perceived risk.

Published: March 2024

Based on ﬁeldwork for licensing environmental impact studies in Bahia, northeastern Brazil, we present new records of ﬁve tree species, including two species known only from their type locality. The records mostly originate from highly human-modiﬁed areas in Atlantic Forest, which we argue that should not be underestimated by environmental licensing studies. We assess the conservation status of the ﬁve species and highlight the importance of using trained botanists for recording species of conservation concern. Our data demonstrate that studies for environmental licensing can contribute knowledge and aid in biodiversity conservation.

Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction is a major cause of pediatric symptomatic portal hypertension and can lead to profuse variceal hemorrhaging. Purpose - to evaluate the role of primary prophylaxis of the variceal bleeding in children with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. Materials and methods. A one-center prospective cohort clinical study involved 120 patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction who underwent primary or secondary variceal bleeding prophylaxis in 2016-2021. The laboratory, ultrasound, and endoscopy data before and after treatment were collected and evaluated. Results. Variceal bleeding episodes occurred in 5.8% (n=3) of patients who underwent primary prophylaxis and rebleeding occurred in 27.9% (n=19) of those who underwent secondary prophylaxis. Bleeding episodes occurred less frequently in patients from primary prophylaxis group (p=0.013). In patients treated endoscopically (n=53, 44.17%) Variceal bleeding appeared less frequently (n=3, 5.66%) after treatment compared to patients who underwent surgery (n=67 (55.83%), 19 had rebleeding (28.35%)) (p=0.001). In 69.17% patients (n=83) esophageal varices eradication was achieved: in 53.01% (n=44) patients from the primary prophylaxis group and 46.99% (n=39) from the secondary prophylaxis group. Bleeding episodes occurred less frequently after the eradication achievement (p<0.001). The primary prophylaxis led to varices eradication more often than secondary (p=0.003). The varices recurrence episodes rates after the eradication achievement were not different between groups (p=0.51). Conclusions. Primary prophylaxis can reduce the bleeding risk in extrahepatic portal vein obstruction with high risk of variceal bleeding. The prophylaxis by endoscopic variceal banding is an important bridge in the treatment for pediatric patients with portal hypertension that along with portosystemic shunting could potentially improve prophylactic treatment results. The Committee on Clinical Investigation of Bogomolets National Medical University approved this study (Protocol No.141, 27.01.2021). All the studies were conducted according to implemented guidelines in consideration of GCP-ICH and Declaration of Helsinki. The written informed consent of all participants’ parents/guardians was achieved. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

The vaginal peritoneal process pathology constitutes a widespread problem in the pediatric population. Pathology of the vaginal peritoneal process is 6 times more common among boys. The observations point out a possible array of male complications (scrotal edema, postoperative hydrocele, iatrogenic testicular refraction) occurring on the background of violation of the integrity of soft tissues, blood and lymphatic vessels. The analysis of local body reactions (namely, the temperature of the surface of the scrotal skin) in response to the pathology as well as its treatment was continued in the current study. Purpose - to detect the dynamic change of the scrotum skin surface temperature study with a view to comparing different methods of treating pathology of the vaginal peritoneal process. Materials and methods. The study included 122 boys under the age of 18 who have been treated for pathology of the vaginal peritoneal process (inguinal hernia, hydrocele testis) at the pediatric surgery clinic of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, Ukraine. A VEGA NC600 non-contact infrared thermometer was used to measure the scrotal skin surface remotely on the day of hospitalisation, on the first postoperative day and on the seventh postoperative day. Results. The general dynamics of scrotal skin surface temperature, both on the pathological and healthy sides, are as follows: a slight increase in scrotal skin temperature in response to surgery is observed on the first postoperative day, followed by a subsequent decrease to preoperative levels. Conclusions. The study of the dynamic temperature changes of the scrotum skin surface in the case of correction of the vaginal peritoneal process pathology using various methods demonstrated that one of the local reactions of the body to the surgery was a slight increase of the average data on the side of the surgical intervention on the first day, followed by a decrease in the preoperative average level. A similar temperature response was recorded on the healthy side. The research was adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The research protocol was agreed by the Local Ethics Committee of the mentioned institution. The patients' informed consent was obtained for the study. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan persebaran ikan pirik secara spasial dan temporal serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi persebarannya pada sungai-sungai di DAS Maros dan di DAS Walanae Cenranae. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dari bulan Mei 2018 hingga April 2019. Penelitian dilakukan di 19 stasiun pengambilan sampel, terdiri atas 6 stasiun di DAS Maros dan 13 Stasiun di DAS Walanae Cenranae, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Penangkapan ikan pirik menggunakan electric shocker (12 V, 9 A) dan jaring lempar. Ikan contoh diawetkan dalam larutan formalin 10% dan alkohol 70 %.  Pengukuran parameter fisik kimiawi perairan meliputi kedalaman, arus, suhu, pH, oksigen terlarut, padatan tersuspensi total (TSS), padatan terlarut total (TDS) dan konduktivitas. Hasil penelitian menujukkan persebaran spasial ikan pirik pada sungai-sungai di DAS Maros terdiri atas empat stasiun yaitu M1 (S. Pattunuang), M2 (S. Bantimurung), M3 (S. Pucak), M4 (S. Batu Bassi) dan pada sungai-sungai di DAS Walanae Cenranae terdiri atas  delapan stasiun yaitu W1 (S. Camba), W2 (S. Sanrego), W4 (S. Batu-Batu), W5 (S. Sawae), W6 (S. Pising), W7 (S. Mutiara), W8 (S. Assanae) dan W10 (S. Ompo). Persebaran temporal ikan pirik terdiri atas tiga kategori persebaran yaitu ikan pirik yang ditemukan pada semua musim, ikan pirik hanya ditemukan ketika musim tertentu, dan ikan pirik yang tidak ditemukan pada semua musim. Jumlah ikan pirik ditemukan terbanyak pada musim penghujan, diikuti awal musim penghujan, kemudian awal musim kemarau dan terendah pada musim kemarau.  Jumlah ikan pirik yang tertangkap dipengaruhi oleh karakteristik fisik kimiawi perairan yaitu kecerahan, oksigen terlarut dan arus.
