IgG4-associated autoimmune hepatitis and cholangitis: A relatively novel entity to consider in cases of seronegative autoimmune hepatitis
Authors: Jutras Gabrielle , Wong Philip , Ferreira José , Leblanc Jean-Frederic
Published: February 2021

A 49-year-old woman with no inflammatory bowel disease history presented to our clinic with abnormal liver function tests and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Blood tests revealed a mixed pattern of liver injury. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated hepatomegaly with periportal edema and hyper-enhancing bile ducts without any sign of biliary obstruction or stricturing. Screening for viral hepatitis and autoimmune liver diseases was negative. An elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) level suggested the possibility of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and a biopsy confirmed the presence of severe interface hepatitis with necrotic areas and focal lymphoid nodular formation. IgG4 staining revealed marked IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. A diagnosis of IgG4-associated seronegative AIH was made, and the patient was started on prednisone and azathioprine, with rapid resolution of the enzyme abnormalities. This clinical vignette highlights the potential challenges in establishing a diagnosis of IgG4-associated AIH and cholangitis, as demonstrated by the importance of confirmatory histopathology. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion when confronted with a mixed pattern of liver injury with elevated immunoglobulins but seronegative autoimmune markers.

Published: February 2021

Background: Hypotheses defend BCG being able to have an impact on the course of COVID-19 disease, decreasing the rate of infections and their severity.
Objective: To determine if the incidence and severity of COVID-19 are less in patients who receive adjuvant treatment with intravesical BCG for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and if the number of instillations are influential.
Methods: All the participants treated with intravesical BCG between January and June-2020 were analysed, researching if they had been infected, and comparing them with the infection rate in the general reference population of our Hospital. Ethical Aspects: The Healthcare Ethics Committee of the Hospital approved the study and informed consent forms were delivered to patients treated with BCG in order to authorize the use of their data in this study. Statistical Analysis: OpenEpi (Link) statistical analysis was carried out by means of 2×2 tables applying the chi-square statistic and Fisher test for qualitative variables.
Results: 117 patients, 23 women (19.7%) and 94 men (80.3%), received treatment with BCG. The mean age was 72.12 years; all ≥50 years. Seven in induction phase, 6 weeks, and 110 in 1-year maintenance, 3 weeks to 3, 6 and 12 months, excluding those that had <4 instillations. Three patients (2.56%) were infected with moderate disease that required admission to the ward. None in the Intensive Care Unit. In the general population, 8558 (5.7 %) were infected. 2015 (1.35%) required admission to the ward and 185 (0.12%) in the Intensive Care Unit. There are no statistically significant differences in the infection rate. Neither was there any in the incidence of moderate or severe disease nor in the incidence of disease between the different phases of the intravesical treatment.
Conclusion: We have not been able to demonstrate that intravesical BCG impacts the incidence rate or the severity of COVID-19.

Authors: Radu Pompilia , Radu Pompilia , Aeby Guillaume , Schwacha-Eipper Birgit , Kolly Philippe , Mare Codruta , Banz Vanessa , Dufour JeanFrançois
Published: February 2021

Background and Aim: Although cirrhosis is a classical risk factor for the development of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC), its absence does not exclude this risk. We aimed to assess the clinical characteristics and
outcomes of cirrhotic HCC (C-HCC) and non-cirrhotic HCC (NC-HCC) patients.
Methods: Patients consecutively included in a prospective HCC cohort (University Hospital Bern) were
analysed. They were categorised into two groups, based on the basis of histology or combined radiological
and laboratory characteristics.
Results: 20.4% of patients were NC-HCC. This group was characterized by a higher median age and a
higher female prevalence compared to the C-HCC group. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
(25.7%) and HBV infection (14.9%) were the main risk factors in this group, whereas alcohol abuse (26%)
and HCV (21.6%) in C-HCC, P<0.001. 19.4% of them were diagnosed during a screening programme.
Resection was performed in 54.5% of NC HCC patients despite the advanced stage (BCLC stage B and C).
No statistically significant difference in survival rate was observed between C and NC-HCC patients (24
months vs. 33.9 months, P=0.162). In multivariate analysis, in the NC-HCC group each unit increase in
BMI was associated with mortality while liver transplantation and resection were positively associated with
survival. In the C-HCC group, the BCLC stage C was negatively associated with survival while all the
therapeutic lines were negative factors for mortality.
Conclusion: NC-HCC patients were diagnosed more often outside a screening programme. The patients
were older, with a higher female prevalence and despite an advanced stage, were often amenable to surgery.

Authors: Murti Wijayanti  , Ridwan Anwar
Published: February 2021

Perhitungan Pajak Penghasilan (PPh) Pasal 21 atas penghasilan karyawan terdapat beberapa metode yang dapat digunakan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk membandingkan perhitungan PPh Pasal 21 yang paling menguntungkan diterapkan antara metode net dengan metode gross up pada PT Braja Mukti Cakra di Bekasi Jawa Barat, dimana kedua metode tersebut memiliki persamaan bahwa perusahaan yang akan menanggung pajak karyawannya. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan PPh Pasal 21 menggunakan metode gross up memberikan keuntungan bagi kedua belah pihak baik perusahaan maupun karyawan, sedangkan perhitungan PPh Pasal 21 dengan metode net hanya memberikan keuntungan pada karyawan. Metode gross up ini apabila digunakan oleh perusahaan, maka pengeluaran untuk gaji dan tunjangan pajak tersebut dapat dibiayakan secara komersial maupun fiskal, sehingga beban Pajak Penghasilan Badan menjadi lebih kecil dibanding menggunakan metode net, karena biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk membayar PPh Pasal 21 karyawan tidak dapat dibiayakan dalam perhitungan Pajak Penghasilan Badan.

«CHERNIVTSI» DISEASE
Authors: Prokopchook V. S.
Published: February 2021

30 years have passed since the time when an epidemic of a children's disease with alopecia syndrome broke out in the city of Chernivtsi. The disease has been named «chernivtsi» disease. Fortunately, it passed without serious complications and deaths. Pathology was accompanied by significant diagnostic difficulties and received a wide public response in the Soviet Union. As a result, the «сhernivtsi» disease turned out to be an erased form of scarlet fever with alopecia syndrome. It is not excluded that the epidemic may happen again somewhere. The author believes that the knowledge gained about this disease should not be forgotten and offers to acquaint doctors with personally gained experience.

Determination of dependence of the efficiency and toxicity of drugs on the time of day or season is one of the most promising areas of modern experimental and clinical pharmacology. The aim of the study. Aim is to identify features of daily rhythms of silymarin influence on the state of antioxidant/prooxidant and cytolytic processes (the leading link in the implementation of hepatoprotective activity) with paracetamol in rats under conditions of acute toxic liver damage. Materials and methods. Chronopharmacological action features of silymarin were studied by use of the generic drug "Karsil" as an example (Sopharma, Bulgaria) with paracetamol in rats under conditions of acute toxic liver damage. The state of the processes of POL-AOS was evaluated by the content of TBA-active products (TBA-AP), the content of recovered glutathione, the activity of SOD, catalase in hepatocytes, and the cytolytic processes by the activity of ALT in serum. Results. There was established a certain chronoarchitectonics of the rhythms of the antioxidant protection system and the activity of the processes of peroxidation in rats under physiological conditions, which was not disturbed by paracetamol on the background of acute liver damage (with the exception of level of acrophase catalase activity). The same dynamics and commonality of rhythms occurred on the background of the use of silymarin. The maximum display of silymarin hepatoprotective activity was observed under conditions of its use in the morning (09.00) and in the evening (21.00). Conclusions. The use of silymarin during periods of maximal display of its hepatoprotective activity, in the morning (09.00) and in the evening (21.00) may be the way to increase its bioavailability. Chronopharmacological features of silymarin activity have been established and should be taken into account when to conduct its further chronopharmacological studies.
Identification of Cultural Practices among Young Adults: a Context-Sensitive Analysis
Authors: Przybylska Ewa Małgorzata , Wajsprych Danuta
Published: February 2021

This article attempts to present ways in which culture is experienced by young adults. Culture is understood here not as an external construct that defines humans, but as a result of human actions, both individual and communal. Assuming that participation in culture is not just an occasional act but rather, a continuous, and strictly relational process, the authors suggest that the meanings ascribed by the respondents to their participation in culture will provide an insight into the processes of assimilation of culture, in connection to the phenomenon of learning. The authors try to understand the currently prevalent rationality for participation in culture, in the form that emerges from negotiations between the learning subject and the external world. The study reveals that the said rationality has little to do with the models of cultural citizenship and cultural education that are oriented towards deconsumption, personalism and community, or with traditional moral philosophy.
For the Renowal Theology of Sacramnetal Priesthood
Authors: Tatar Marek Jan
Published: February 2021

The sacrament of priesthood within the whole space of the development of the Church and its presence in civilisation is one of the key issues. It proves its meaning as well as the necessity of undertaking an ongoing reflection in the context of challenges resulting from the civilisation development. Theology of priesthood is also an essential aspect that has a multi-dimension character and, as such, is a subject of various fields of theology as well as non-theological ones. A reflection upon its relation to a common priesthood of all the faithful, resulting from the sacrament of Baptism, comes into special importance nowadays. Present-day challenges resulting from the development of culture post-modernity require a clear and precise drawing of the essence of sacramental priesthood. The Sacrament of Orders which defines the character and charisma of the called one brings the inseparable sacramental bond with the Christ the Highest and the Only Patriarch. We can find a proper charismatic identity of priesthood in this relation. The other dimension of this charisma is the mission, in which a priest acts in persona Christi. The dual charismatic dimension makes a proper way of making out and understanding the identity of a priest. It means that a priest cannot be substituted in his vocation and the authority which he receives in The Sacrament of Holy Orders and the unity with his bishop. Properly understood and made out identity needs the competent preparation and formation of the candidates to the priesthood, those who have already received Orders and those who are responsible for it alike. All dimensions of formation must be properly integrated. The essential integrating element in the process of ongoing formation is specific priestly spirituality. It means that the fact who a priest is, and then what his mission is, results from the unity of a priest with Christ. The already mentioned civilisation challenges require permanent studies of the ways and methods of the formation. This way the process of formation defends itself from naturalistic or spiritualistic one-sidedness, which a present Pope Francis reminded of, when he said about two “subtle enemies of sanctity”, which are “a present-day Gnosticism” and “a present-day Pelagianism".
Zawarcie przez obywatela polskiego małżeństwa per procura w Kościele łacińskim poza terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Authors: Świto Lucjan , Tomkiewicz Małgorzata
Published: February 2021

Artykuł dotyczy problematyki zawierania małżeństwa przez pełnomocnika poza granicami Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej przez tych katolików, którzy mają obywatelstwo polskie. Stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, czy wierni Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego, będący obywatelami polskimi, mogą zawrzeć małżeństwo przez pełnomocnika w Kościele łacińskim poza terytorium Polski oraz czy takie małżeństwo może wywoływać skutki cywilnoprawne w porządku prawa polskiego. W tym celu została przeprowadzona analiza przepisów prawa kanonicznego i prawa polskiego z uwzględnieniem prawa prywatnego międzynarodowego. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań ustalono, że wierni Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego, będący obywatelami polskimi, mogą zawierać małżeństwo przez pełnomocnika w Kościele łacińskim poza terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Natomiast czy takie małżeństwo wywoła skutki cywilnoprawne w Polsce, będzie zależało od dopuszczalności w danym państwie zawierania małżeństwa przez pełnomocnika oraz dopełnienia wszystkich wymogów formalnych, jakie w zakresie instytucji matrimonium per procura prawo to przewidywało.
„Studia Warmińskie” – dzieje i stan obecny czasopisma
Authors: Kieliszek Zdzisław
Published: February 2021

Artykuł jest poświęcony dziejom i stanowi obecnemu „Studiów Warmińskich”, które są uznanym rocznikiem naukowym. W dziejach pisma można wyróżnić trzy za­sadnicze okresy. Pierwszy obejmuje lata 1964–1989, drugi to lata 1989–2010, nato­miast trzeci datuje się od roku 2011 i trwa do chwili obecnej. Od 1964 do 1989 r. „Stu­dia Warmińskie” były wydawane przez Warmińskie Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne. W latach 1989–2010 pismo wydawano dzięki staraniom Wyższego Seminarium Du­chownego Metropolii Warmińskiej „Hosianum” w Olsztynie. Natomiast od roku 2011 czasopismo jest rocznikiem naukowym Wydziału Teologii Uniwersytetu Warmińsko­-Mazurskiego w Olsztynie. Autor w prowadzonych analizach zauważa, że „Studia” od początku swojego istnienia znalazły dobry grunt do dynamicznego rozwoju, jak rów­nież obficie wzbogaciły i wciąż wzbogacają dorobek naukowy Warmii i Mazur. Ponadto autor podkreśla, że „Studia Warmińskie” w ukształtowaniu się polskiego kościelnego czasopiśmiennictwa naukowego po Soborze Watykańskim II jawią się jako pismo wzorcowe. Zwraca też uwagę, że problematyka poruszana na łamach czasopisma była i jest wykorzystywana przez badaczy pochodzących z różnych środowisk naukowych, którzy zajmują się teologią i jej naukami pokrewnymi. Samo zaś czasopismo wciąż się rozwija, czego przykładem jest m.in. uruchomienie nowoczesnej platformy interneto­wej, na której zostały udostępnione wszystkie numery archiwalne czasopisma w posta­ci elektronicznej.
War and Peace Studies: In Search of Philosophical Substantiation of Heuristic Potential
Authors: Kyvliuk Valentyna
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the explication of the methodological problems in the field of war and peace studies. The author tried to make a conceptual historical, and philosophical observation of the genesis of the understanding of war and peace. At the same time, the modern discourse is determined by the activity of recognized organizations and the high-impact journals. Using the methodology of discourse and institutional analysis, the author tries to define the key ‘edge’ points of the mentioned discourse. At the same time, the modern cases of war conflict demonstrated their hybrid nature. The case analysis of the Ukraine hybrid war and the other countries let the author represent the holistic logic for understanding the development of the methodology of war and peace studies research, understanding one’s multidisciplinary nature, etc. The Ukrainian case also involved the methodological approaches of the postcolonial (neo-colonial theory) for understanding the drivers and breaks of the war conflict, which could be heuristic for the development of future ideas in the field of non-conflict humanity development.

L’épidémie de Covid-19, au-delà de mettre en évidence l’obésité comme facteur pronostique important, modifie grandement la prise en charge de cette maladie chronique. L’expérimentation article 51 Espace médical nutrition et obésité (EMNO) a dû intégrer des outils numériques pour maintenir les parcours de soins. Cette démarche a également été enrichie par l’apport d’un outil d’éducation thérapeutique digital. L’ensemble du processus de prise en charge a ainsi été réalisé malgré la situation, avec un retour très positif des patients inclus dans l’expérimentation. En contexte épidémique, le maintien des parcours de soins d’une maladie chronique comme l’obésité peut ainsi être assuré avec l’apport du numérique tout en dépassant le simple cadre de la téléconsultation et du suivi en y associant une approche pédagogique digitale.
On Growing a Journal
Authors: Clarsen Georgine
Published: February 2021

In this era of the neo-liberal academy, establishing an academic journal is a labor of love and hope. In this article, I celebrate the dedication and commitment of its many contributors and reflect on the value of the arts and humanities to the mobilities paradigm. I do that from the perspective of a feminist historian from a settler colonial polity in the southern hemisphere, where uneven mobilities and the violence of dispossession continue to shape national life. I consider how a mobilities framework that derived from the northern hemisphere has spoken to the intellectual and political projects that played out in a colonial settler nation in the southern hemisphere.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to find out the demographic, and clinical profile of frequently re-hospitalized psychiatric patients. The study will determine relationship between particular psychiatric illness and recurrent admissions. This study investigates and collects all relevant data to reflect the factual situation in Malaysian population. Methods: Cross sectional study of 250 psychiatric patients with different mental illnesses admitted by Psychiatrist in 6 months duration. Patients were included of age 18 years and above and excluded those who were not conversant either in Malay or English language. The questioner with various demographic aspects was used and clinical data of the participants obtained for statistical analysis. Results: It has been noted that there is a significant association between socio-demographic factors and frequent hospitalization of Psychiatric patients in relation to their diagnoses. Conclusion: Patients with mental illnesses have higher prevalence of readmission. Although treatment facilities are available, environmental factors play a vital role in relapse of mental illness and readmission to the Psychiatric wards.
Motivation and Classroom Teaching in Geography
Authors: Ababio Bethel T.
Published: February 2021

Several factors influence the teaching and learning of geography in the classroom situation. Prominent among these factors is motivation. Motivation may be described as a state of arousal in which an individual wishes to achieve a specific goal and exerts effort to do so. In the classroom, efficient learning would be impossible if motivation was absent. But this appears to be the situation in many geography classes. There are classroom situations in which student motivation is at a minimum and in which learning is correspondingly slow. In such unmotivated classes, there are geography teachers who leave their students with half formed and hazy concepts; teachers who make no attempt to select teaching procedures that will be interesting to students; teachers who criticize students negatively rather than constructively; such classes are also characterized by strained personal relationships between students and their teachers. To address these worrying concerns in the geography classroom, this article is devoted to the discussion of principles, practices and specific suggestions aimed at enabling the geography teacher to make more effective use of motivation in classroom situations.
Decolonial Multicultural Education in Post-Apartheid South Africa
Authors: Nyoni Jabulani
Published: February 2021

This article explores decolonial epistemic priorities in Open and distance learning (ODL) multicultural teacher education and training praxis, raises questions about the andragogical approach, and challenges the primary educational goal for students, opining that multicultural teacher education and training has become fixated on a simplistic decoloniality of Western knowledges and practices. Using the internet based asynchronous OBB system; I adopted a qualitative discursive analysis to identify linguistic conventions within the academic discourse message board community of practice as regards the dominate views and values that can be embedded in curriculum craft in post-colonial states. I put forward a case to prioritise the development of learning dispositions in multicultural students that encourage openness to further inquiry and productive ways of thinking in and through complex and contested knowledge terrains with the hope of engendering the concept pluriversality. I argue that this andragogical approach adds a critical dimension to the decolonial task in imbedding first nation’s indigenous knowledges, views and/or perspectives rather than mimicking fixated Western priorities.
INTERNATIONAL TOUR ANDINTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Zhang Xiaochi
Published: February 2021

An international tour is a channel of intercultural communication. People from different cultural setting can easily communicate with each other and understand each other, so as to improve friendship and build up a good image of a nation. Therefore, tourists’ behaviors are an important factor in intercultural communication. Due to this reason, the author takes some cases which happened with Chinese people in recent years as an example, and then further analyzes the cases from a perspective of intercultural communication. Finally, the author gives some suggestions about how to improve Chinese behavior in international tour such as educating Chinese tourists’ awareness of civilized manners, learning some fundamental cultural knowledge of different countries and training etiquette skills for Chinese international tour. In this way, well-educated and civilized Chinese tourists would really promote a good image of Chinese people and nation in the world.

Thin films of ZnxCd1-xS (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) were deposited on cleaned soda lime glass substrates at room temperature by thermal evaporation technique, having source current 50-65 Ampere, chamber pressure 10-5Torr and deposition rate 0.4 nm/sec. These conditions were same for all the thin films having different zinc concentrations. UV-VIS Spectrophotometry was used to study the optical properties of thin films of ZnxCd1-xS in room temperature. XRD was used to study the structure of the thin films of ZnxCd1-xS having various composition of „x‟. UV-VIS studies revealed that as the concentration of zinc content increases, transmission spectra shift towards the shorter wavelength region from (575-526)nm, the percent transmittance was increased in the visible range with the increase of zinc content, absorption edges and absorption coefficient spectra also shift towards the shorter wavelength and hence the direct band gap energy varied non-linearly from 2.55ev to 2.84ev.It was also found that optical conductivity increases with photon energy and thin film of Zn0.4Cd0.6S has high optical conductivity as compared to other value of „x‟. The reflectance and optical constants such as the extinction coefficient and refractive index were also found to depend upon the zinc concentration in the films. XRD studies showed that all the thin films of ZnxCd1-xS (x= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) had a strong peak in between the diffraction angle 26.60- 31.70, which confirmed that all the thin films exhibited the wurtzite structure with a preferential orientation of (002) plane. It was also found that lattice constants, inters planer spacing, volume and grain size decreases except for Zn0.4Cd0.6S thin film which had high crystallinity as compared to the other composition of the zinc content.

Lead and zinc concentrations were determined in scalp hair and finger nails of exposed and unexposed males by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean levels of Pb in the finger nails ranged from 50-480 μg/g, and 50-240 μg/g for exposed and unexposed males respectively. The mean levels of Pb in the scalp hair ranged from 30-410 μg/g, and 30-200 μg/g for exposed and unexposed males respectively. The mean levels of Zn in the finger nails ranged from 40-400 μg/g and 80-450 μg/g for exposed and unexposed males respectively, while in the scalp hair the mean levels of Zn ranged from 30-490 μg/g and 50-440 μg/g for exposed and unexposed males respectively. The study established that there was a negative correlation between Pb and essential element Zn in both scalp hair and finger nail samples of unexposed male respondents. However, Pb was found to have a positive correlation with Zn in the finger nails and scalp hair samples for the exposed males. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) indicated when Pb and Zn mean levels were compared in the combined samples of finger nails and scalp hair. Comparing the mean lead concentration in scalp hair with finger nails a significant difference was indicated in the two tissues (P<0.05). Human hair and finger nails are therefore recording filaments that can reflect metabolic changes over long period of time and hence furnish a print out of post nutritional event of dietary levels of some of the essential elements.

Global health is the study and practice of improving health and health equity for all people worldwide through international and interdisciplinary collaboration. Studies suggest that health professions students benefit significantly through participating in global health clinical courses. This exploratory qualitative study conducted a community needs assessment as part of a global health clinical course for health professional students. The clinical course allowed students to plan and implement a week-long clinic providing primary health care to families in remote villages in Central America. Students engaged with the researcher to conduct a community assessment.As part of the community assessment we interviewed Kuna to identify from within the community the needs of families to improve health outcomes. This assessment was designed to provide empirical evidence to support future long-term, sustainable improvements in the health of communities. Findings indicate a chasm between what providers see as problems and villagers’ identified priorities. Despite many unanticipated challenges, this research produced some modest and tentative recommendations proposed both for the community and global health clinical education.

Self-confidence towards the studied subject is very important in order for students to succeed in their field of study. There is some relationship between self-confidence and the students’ achievement. The main objective of this study was to understand and examine Engineering Technology (ET) students’ attitudes towards the level of self-confidence or self-efficacy in mathematics during their class sessions at the Faculty of Engineering Technology (FTK), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). This study investigated the attitudes of 332 second year students in several field of studies at FTK, UTeM in the second semester of the 2013/2014 session. Students were given a set of questionnaire consisting of statements on their attitudes towards self-confidence in mathematics. This activity was performed during one of the classes. From the findings, a conclusion was drawn regarding the attitudes of ET students towards self-confidence in mathematics. The result shows that most ET students had positive self-confidence in mathematics. However, the level of confidence was not as high and depended on the students’ situations and current environment.
