Acute Testicular Torsion: Presentation and Diagnosis
Authors: Berrondo Claudia , Mevorach Robert A. , Cubillos Jimena
Published: January 2021

Testicular torsion is the most common pediatric urologic emergency and is a common cause of acute scrotal pain. Timely diagnosis is important for testicular salvage,as treatment delayed beyond 6 hours from the onset of symptoms is the most predictive factor of testicular death. There is a bimodal distribution of age with extravaginal torsion most commonly presenting in the neonatal period and intravaginal torsion most commonly presenting around the onset of puberty. Intermittent testicular torsion presents a unique challenge in making an accurate diagnosis, as patients most often present when asymptomatic. Several risk factors exist, although bell-clapper deformity is the most important. The diagnosis is made largely on history or physical examination. In equivocal cases, imaging with color Doppler ultrasonography may be helpful in making the diagnosis. Additional tools including near-infrared spectroscopy and Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion score may be helpful in diagnosing testicular torsion. Possible long-term effects on fertility and hormonal function are also often a concern for the patient and clinician.

Urogenital Fistulas and Female Urethral Diverticula
Authors: Cox Lindsey , Rovner Eric S.
Published: January 2021

Urogenital fistulas are a group of conditions in which the urinary tract is apparently connected to another organ system. Causes of fistula range from congenital anomalies, malignancy, trauma, infection or inflammatory conditions, ischemia, parturition, and iatrogenic sources – including surgery and radiation. Signs and symptoms of urinary tract fistula are variable and depend on the organ system involved and the size of the fistula. For patients who are appropriate surgical candidates, elective surgical repair is the mainstay of treatment of urinary tract fistula. Surgical techniques can be complex, but rely on the same key concepts: adequate exposure of the fistula tract; careful dissection and separation of the tissue layers, while minimizing cautery; multi-layer closure; watertight closure of each layer; meticulous hemostasis to prevent hematoma formation, but preserve vascular supply of tissues; use of well-vascularized tissue flaps; tension-free, non-overlapping suture lines; biopsy of tissues concerning for malignancy.

Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction: Surgical Treatment
Authors: Gao Yunliang , Rosenberg Shilo , Ginsberg David
Published: January 2021

Surgery in patients with a neurogenic bladder aims at protecting the upper urinary tract while maximizing the patient’s continence status. It is carried out when other modalities, such as medication and minimal invasive procedures, fail to produce optimal results. Factors to consider are the patients’ level and completeness of the neurologic injury, gender, habitus, dexterity and cognitive functions as well as renal function, and bowel availability. Surgery of the neurogenic lower urinary tract (LUT) aims to create a low pressure and continent system when possible, mainly achieved by the use of bowel segments. The incorporation of bowel into the LUT is associated with potential complications that make lifelong surveillance obligatory. Recently, technologic innovations have changed the way LUT reconstruction could be carried out. Robotic surgery is now a legitimate option for LUT reconstruction in both adults and pediatric patients. In the future, regenerative medicine could provide organs that would obviate the need for an intraperitoneal surgery and bowel manipulation with its associated complications. However, currently, this technology has not produced consistent results, and its utilization is not widespread. In this review, we discuss the available surgical treatment options of patients with a neurogenic bladder.

Authors: Le John , Chen Po-Hsu , Seidenfaden Julius , Morlandt Anthony , Kase Michael
Published: January 2021

Total rhinectomy defects pose a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon, but since the introduction of osseointegrated implants, maxillofacial implant–retained prosthetic rehabilitation has provided the patient with an alternative option that has an excellent cosmetic result. Traditionally, zygomatic implants are used for prosthodontic restoration in patients with severely atrophic maxilla or to retain an obturator after tumor ablative surgery. More recently, the nonconventional use of zygomatic implants for retention of a nasal prosthesis has been reported in cases involving rhinectomy defects where the length of conventional dental implants is a limiting factor. In this article, we describe the use and value of transversely-oriented zygomatic implants in combination with an acrylic keeper and maxillary denture to optimize retention of a complex, multi-unit prosthesis in an edentulous patient with a total rhinectomy and upper lip defect.

Authors: Muriithi Caroline Wachuka , Mwenda Mary Nyawira
Published: January 2021

Road traffic accidents are a menace to a developing country such as Kenya. The National Transport and Safety Authority website records over 57,171 cases of road traffic accidents NTSA [15]. Adopting the root cause analysis technique, it is crucial to determine and to solve the cause of a problem in order to have a permanent solution for it. This study focuses on road construction projects which are the actual onset of road traffic accidents. Occurrences of road traffic accidents are dependent on various factors ranging from the ideology of road construction projects to the operation of a sound or unsound vehicle on the road. Numerous studies have been done to research on the factors influencing quality of road construction projects but little has been done to determine how contractors related factors affect quality of road construction projects. Due to the research gap in the pool of knowledge, this study is aimed at identifying and analyzing how contractor’s exposure to technology influences the quality of road construction projects. The study area that was analyzed in this project was Machakos sub-county situated in the Lower Eastern region of Kenya. The study was guided by the objective: to establish influence of contractor’s exposure to technology on quality of road construction projects. This study applied Systems theory approach. A descriptive survey research design and a cross-sectional approach was used to collect quantitative data by use of close-ended questionnaires. The total target population was 223and a calculative formula adopted from Kothari [8] was used to acquire a sample size of 141 respondents. Stratified random sampling technique was applied on the sample size of 141 respondents to classify them into homogenous groups. Questionnaires were used as the main data collection instruments and were issued to the respondents. The gathered data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the data being presented descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Pearson’s product moment correlation procedure method was used to analyze the inferential statistic data and the results presented. In this study Spearman’s was used to measure the degree of association between the independent and dependent variables. On the influence of contractor’s exposure to technology, a composite mean of 3.74, standard deviation of 1.028 and a strong correlation value of 0.373 were achieved. The survey elicit conclusion was that quality of road construction projects in Machakos Sub-County was influenced by the independent variable.

Authors: Awawdi Khaled , Armon Carmel , Kimiagar Itzhak , Tarabeih Mahdi , Rakia Riad Abu
Published: January 2021

Background: In 2013 the Israel Ministry of Health identified the care and treatment of acute cerebral ischemic stroke as failing to achieve expected standards. The Ministry decided to raise standards by defining and instituting, nationwide, a battery of linked care quality indicators to be applied across all relevant facilities and contexts. Five indicators were selected for five key junctures in the AIS care process.

Methods: This paper presents and analyses the effects of the implementation of these new care quality indicators on the post-discharge quality of life outcomes of Israeli stroke sufferers. The patient sample comprises patients from Israel’s Central region, where stroke care provision and access is relatively high, and from the peripheral North region, where provision and access are limited.

Results: Those who were not treated with thrombolytic treatment and/or cerebral blood vessel catheterization, those who suffered severer strokes, women, the older age groups, non-Jews and North region residents display significantly worse physical functioning outcomes and worse quality of life outcomes on all indicators.

Conclusions: Stroke care access and provision disparities translate into significantly higher rates of post-discharge disability, impaired physical and social functioning, and a lower quality of life.

The effectiveness of healthcare improvement by the deployment of care indicators is closely associated with the lifestyle, socio-demographic and socioeconomic status of different population groups. The effective implementation of quality care indicators also relies heavily on closing the access and provision gaps between the populations living in central and peripheral areas. Two obvious directions for action are to expand and improve the rehabilitation care network and to combat the age discrimination in hospital stroke treatment.

Authors: Oltean Alexandra Ioana
Published: January 2021

The Covid-19 Pandemic has affected everyone’s life. The main activity fields of each society were strongly impacted by the different measures imposed by authorities in order to limit and prevent the extension of this new disease. Students are one of the vulnerable categories, influenced significantly by this situation since one of the social distancing measures implemented in most countries refers to school closure and classes suspension. The transition to online education undertaken in this context was a temporary solution, a quick fix, and its long-term implications need to be studied within further research. We asked a small group of middle school students to share their thoughts, feelings and opinions regarding their educational experiences during the pandemic. Students shared valuable aspects that need to be taken into consideration in order to optimize future distance learning approaches, but also the ones specific to traditional education. Rethinking education has become one of the major present goals, since education has profound, long-term implications over all other fields of the society.
Correlation between school dropout and gross domestic product in the emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Vodă Ioana-Maria
Published: January 2021

By school dropout is meant leaving the educational system, regardless of the reached level, before obtaining a qualification or a complete proffesional training or before the end of the study cycle started (Doron & Parot, 2006). Although there are numerous researches on school dropout, we consider that it is necessary to study the relationship it has with the level of development of a country, in order to identify new causes and possible solutions to this phenomenon. In this study we included seven emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. Thus, we analyzed the correlation between the annual gross domestic product and the school dropout rates in the mentioned countries. The data were extracted from the European Commission’s Eurostat database and entered into the SPSS and then analyzed using the Forward prospective procedure. This research revealed the existence of significant negative correlation between the level of development of a country and the school dropout rate in the countries included in the analysis, in female, but also insignificant or weakly significant correlations between the mentioned variables in males.

Humour has a wide range of functions that make it a valid instrument if used in classroom. It can be used to raise students’ motivation and it promotes their psychological and emotional development. This paper presents the results of an enquiry conducted upon a sample of 698 students from the IVth to the VIIIth grade. Among the items we have also included different topics related to the importance of interactive strategies designed to support learning through laughter and to make lessons more attractive. At a theoretical level we will investigate if teacher’s charisma is related to the ability to use it in the classroom on one hand and if and how learning is eased. Correlational analysis revealed specific results showing that using humour in education is beneficial to increasing students’ motivation.
Style Paradigms of Western European Music in the Works of Sydir Vorobkevych
Authors: Kapliyenko-Iliuk Yuliya
Published: January 2021

"The study of the works of composers of different national schools, their creative connections, peculiarities of stylistic contaminations – an important aspect of forming a general “world view” in the field of music. Individual personalities, their works have become a source of information about steady models of musical art, which have become a model for most European cultures. Stylistic paradigms of Western European music were differently manifested in the works of representatives of different peoples and times. The work of a Bukovynian composer of the end of the XIX century – Sydir Vorobkevych – is an example of a combination of national, folklore and classical traditions. The formation of his creative thinking took place in a multinational environment, studying at the Vienna Conservatory, attending concerts, and getting acquainted with the creative and performing activities of his contemporaries. S. Vorobkevych's variety of genres was influenced by stylistic models of classical, romantic, and separate national schools – German, Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian, Czech etc. Thus, the study of stylistic basics of creative work of composers of different national schools, revealing intercultural correlations of the past will contribute to the expansion of the ideas about principles of forming stylistic paradigms of the world musical art.

FUNDAMENTALISME ISLAM: TELAAH TERHADAP PEMIKIRAN POLITIK HIZBUT TAHRIR INDONESIA (HTI)
Authors: Azmy Ana Sabhana
Published: January 2021

Tulisan ini mendiskusikan pemikiran politik Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) sebagai bagian dari gerakan fundamentalisme Islam di Indonesia. HTI adalah gerakan dakwah yang berkembang di Indonesia di awal tahun 1980-an dengan pengaruh pendahulunya, yaitu Hizbut Tahrir. Terdapat tiga pertanyaan yang dicoba untuk dijawab dalam tulisan ini. Pertama, bagaimana pemikiran politik HTI terhadap demokrasi? Kedua, bagaimana konteks khilafah Islamiyyah yang diinginkan oleh HTI? Ketiga, bagaimana kiprah HTI dalam perpolitikan Indonesia? Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui bentuk hasil pemikiran dengan studi literatur, menggunakan data yang diperoleh melalui bahan kepustakaan yang relevan, baik buku ataupun dokumen-dokumen pendukung. Selain itu, wawancara via online juga dilakukan terhadap juru bicara HTI. Kesimpulan dari tulisan ini adalah bahwa fundamentalisme Islam dalam pemikiran HTI, dapat dilihat dari cara pandang terhadap demokrasi yang bagi mereka adalah sebagai sistem yang kufur dan sama sekali tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan Islam. HTI menyatakan bahwa sistem demokrasi itu bertentangan dengan hukum-hukum Islam. Khilafah Islamiyyah yang diinginkan oleh HTI adalah tegaknya kembali kekhilafahan yang merupakan lambang supremasi politik Islam, yang itu menjadi titik point atas Islam. Sedangkan peran HTI dalam politik di Indonesia dapat dilihat dari persentuhan mereka dengan pemerintah, diterbitkannya buletin Al-Islam yang berisi isu HAM, Amerika versus umat Islam, Keindonesiaan hingga pentingnya khilafah. HTI juga pernah  mengirimkan surat pada Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dalam rangka mengajak pada penegakan sistem khilafah di Indonesia.
TATA CARA PENYALURAN ZAKAT PRODUKTIF DI BAZNAS KOTA PALU STUDI TERHADAP PERATURAN MENTERI AGAMA NOMOR 52 TAHUN 2014 TENTANG PENDAYAGUNAAN ZAKAT UNTUK USAHA PRODUKTIF
Authors: Perdana Lilirano Sandy
Published: January 2021

Pada umumnya, banyak di antara masyarakat Islam yang masih belum sempurna dalam menjalankan hukum Islam secara kaffah. Dan yang paling urgen menurut penulis yaitu hukum tentang kewajiban membayar zakat. Zakat merupakan salah satu rukun Islam yang masih banyak di remehkan oleh sebagian masyarakat Islam. Karena kalau banyak masyarakat Islam yang sadar akan kewajiban zakat, maka pengembangan dana zakat pada amil zakat akan terus meningkat. Maka disinilah muncul pengembangan dana zakat melalui pendayagunaan zakat untuk usaha produktif. Berkenaan dengan hal tersebut, maka uraian dalam skripsi ini berangkat dari masalah bagaimana tata cara penyaluran zakat produktif di BAZNAS kota Palu? Dan bagaimana tinjauan Peraturan Menteri Agama Nomor 52 Tahun 2014 terhadap tata cara penyaluran zakat produktif di BAZNAS kota Palu?. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa mengenai tata cara penyaluran zakat produktif di BAZNAS kota Palu, telah diatur dan sudah diimplementasikan pada pelaksanaan harian di BAZNAS kota Palu itu sendiri. Tinjauan Peraturan Menteri Agama Nomor 52 Tahun 2014 terhadap tata cara penyaluran zakat produktif di BAZNAS kota Palu, telah berkesinambungan dan saling terikat. Dari kesimpulan yang diperoleh, penulis menyarankan agar BAZNAS kota Palu lebih bekerja keras dalam memperkenalkan produk zakat yang bisa mengembangkan dana zakat itu sendiri yaitu zakat produktif. Dan yang paling dan dasar yang harus lebih diperkenalkan yaitu tentang tata cara penyaluran zakat produktif.

Pengaruh Herbisida Metil Metsulfuron Terhadap Struktur Komunitas Alga Perifiton
Authors: Kustia Dewa Satria Dharmawan , Sucahyo Sucahyo , Kasmiyati Sri
Published: January 2021

INTISARI

Dewasa ini kegiatan pertanian tidak terlepas dari penggunaan herbisida kimia. Beberapa herbisida komersial menggunakan bahan aktif berupa metil metsulfuron (C14H15N5O6S) yang pada dasarnya bekerja mengubah pengaruh bahan kimia di dalam jaringan gulma yang dapat mematikan jaringan atau merusak sistem fisiologis yang dibutuhkan untuk kelangsungan hidup gulma. Karena pengaruh tersebut maka muncul pertanyaan apakah senyawa ini juga dapat mempengaruhi organisme non target seperti alga perifiton. Perifiton merupakan sekelompok organisme mikroskopis yang tumbuh menempel pada permukaan benda atau tumbuhan air, tidak menembus substrat, diam atau bergerak di permukaan substrat tersebut. Salah satu penyusun utama komunitas perifiton adalah alga. Alga perifiton di perairan memiliki peran yang besar dalam menentukan produktivitas primer dan sebagai bioindikator kualitas perairan. Beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnnya menunjukkan jika beberapa bahan aktif pada konsentrasi tertentu berpengaruh signifikan terhadap produktivitas primer alga perifiton dan dapat menghambat pertumbuhan spesies alga tertentu. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh herbisida berbahan aktif metil metsulfuron terhadap struktur komunitas alga perifiton. Parameter yang diukur antara lain kandungan klorofil a, nilai kepadatan, nilai kekayaan, indeks keanekaragaman, indeks keseragaman, dan indeks dominansi serta identifikasi spesies alga penyusun perifiton. Penelitian dilakukan dalam skala laboratorium menggunakan sampel yang diambil dari Danau Rawa Pening, Kab. Semarang. Pengamatan dilakukan selama 21 hari dengan pemaparan herbisida dengan konsentrasi 0; 0,05; 0,1; 0,2; dan 0,4 mg/l. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi metil metsulfuron dan lama pemaparan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kandungan klorofil a (p<0,05) tetapi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap indeks kepadatan, kekayaan, keanekaragaman, dominansi, dan keseragaman komunitas alga perifiton (p>0,05).

Authors: Aktaş Nurhan , Baykara Zehra
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Knowledge about the relationship between quality of life and self-care among patients with colorectal cancer in Turkey is limited. PURPOSE: This prospective, descriptive study evaluated the quality of life and self-care agency of patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer. METHODS: Patients were recruited to participate preoperatively from the general surgery clinics in 2 hospitals in Turkey. Sociodemographic variables were collected preoperatively, and the Quality of Life Scale for Cancer Patients (EORTC QLQ-C30) Turkish Version 3.0, the Quality of Life Scale for Colorectal Cancer Patients (EORTC QLQ-CR29), and the Self-Care Agency Scale were completed preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Thirty-seven (37) patients (average age 59.49 years [±10.84]) who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. The majority were male (22 patients; 60%), and 25 (67%) did not have a stoma postoperatively. Compared with preoperative scores, QLQ-C30 general well-being, functional status, physical functions, and role performance scores decreased in the first month after surgery and increased in the third and sixth months (58.3 [preoperative] vs 75.0 [month 3] vs 83.3 [month 6]; P = .000). The preoperative QLQ-CR29 excretory system pleasure scores were higher than the postoperative third- and sixth-month scores (1.7 [preoperative] vs 1.0 [month 3] vs 1.0 [month 6]; P = .001). The Self-Care Agency scores at 6 months were higher than the postoperative first month (109.62 ± 11.62 vs 115.19 ± 14.22; P = .006). A positive correlation was found between Self-Care Agency scores and functional status scores of the QLQ-C30 scale at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P = .000). CONCLUSION: Quality of life and Self-Care Agency scores decreased immediately after surgery but increased in the following 6 months. A positive correlation was found between quality of life and self-care agency.

ON THE ROLE OF WOMAN PERSONALITY IN THE ECONOM-IC HISTORY OF RUSSIA IN EARLY MODERN TIME (MARFA BORETSKAYA)
Authors: Пушкарёва Наталья Львовна
Published: January 2021

В статье проанализирована роль известной политической фигуры - вдовы посадника Исака Борецкого, знаменитой Марфы Борецкой - в экономической истории Новгорода в последний период его самостоятельности. Благодаря скрупулезным подсчётам владений и получаемого с них дохода доказано, что Марфа Борецкая была крупнейшей собственницей земельных богатств своего времени, не сравнимой ни с одной женщиной не только в Новгороде, но и в Москве. Статья оспаривает ранее сложившееся мнение в историографии о том, что экономическое значение приобретений Марфы Борецкой в годы её вдовства не играло заметной роли и не оказывало влияния на политическую составляющую отношений Новгорода и Москвы. Напротив, считает автор, хозяйствование Марфы Борецкой доказывает её исключительную деловую сметку и удачливость, быстрое богатение её самой и её детей, что объективно способствовало росту могущества всей Новгородчины. Именно экономический вес этой собственницы объясняет исключительную роль, которую она пыталась на себя взять, спасая устойчивую новгородскую политическую систему.

The article analyzes the role of a famous political figure - the widow of the mayor Isak Boretsky, the famous Martha Boretskaya - in the economic history of Novgorod in the last period of its independence. Thanks to scrupulous calculations of the properties and the income received from them, it has been proved that Martha Boretskaya was the largest owner of land wealth of her time, incomparable with any woman not only in Novgorod, but also in Moscow. The article disputes the earlier opinion in historiography that the economic significance of the acquisitions of Marfa Boretskaya during the years of her widowhood did not play a noticeable role and did not affect the political component of relations between Novgorod and Moscow. On the contrary, the author believes, the management of Martha Boretskaya proves her exceptional economic savvy and luck, the rapid wealth of herself and her children, which objectively contributed to the growth of the power of the entire Novgorod region. It is the economic weight of this owner that explains the exceptional role that she tried to take upon herself, saving the stable Novgorod political system.
ABOUT THE FEATURES OF THE TVER AND THE UPPER VOLGA LOCAL STUDIES
Authors: Малыгин Пётр Дмитриевич
Published: January 2021

Автор выступает с критикой деятельности краеведов, занимающихся изучением средневековой истории Твери и Верхневолжья. Отмечается, что в советский период Твери (Калинине) краеведение не было заложено учёными из Москвы и Ленинграда, в силу чего до 1970-х гг. серьёзных исследований средневековой Твери не предпринималось, и у краеведов Твери сформировалась убеждённость в отсутствии учёных авторитетов по тверской тематике. Автор показывает также склонность краеведов Твери к мифотворчеству.

The author criticizes the activities of local historians who study the medieval history of Tver and the Upper Volga region. It is noted that in the Soviet period Tver (Kalinin) local history was not established by scientists from Moscow and Leningrad, due to which, until the 1970s. no serious studies of medieval Tver were undertaken, and local historians of Tver were convinced that there were no scholarly authorities on Tver topics. The author also shows the tendency of local historians of Tver to mythmaking.

Los estándares de belleza han cambiado a lo largo de los siglos con una mayor conciencia sobre la estética. El rostro sigue siendo la principal fuente de información para la identificación y discriminación. Constituye una base estructural para muchos mensajes no verbales, incluido el estado emocional de una persona. Las arrugas y la laxitud se consideran uno de los factores del envejecimiento. Por lo tanto, la creciente demanda de tratamientos cosméticos para reducir las arrugas faciales y la laxitud ha estimulado a buscar literatura publicada sobre técnicas no quirúrgicas para realzar la belleza facial.
