Background: The aim of our study is to systematically review the existing evidence on the role of corticosteroids in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Methodology: Systematic search of MEDLINE (1950- 2014), EMBASE (1980-2014), metaRegister, Cochrane Library and ISI conference proceedings was carried out. Results: Eighteen randomised controlled trials with 1309 patients were included. Use of local and/or systemic corticosteroids with FESS was reported in four categories; operative, anaesthesia related, post-operative outcomes and risk of recurrence. Meta-analysis for operative outcomes demonstrated that, mean operative time (MD -10.70 minutes; 95% CI -15.86, -5.55; P <0.0001) and mean estimated blood loss (MD -28.32 mls; 95% CI -40.93, -15.72; P <0.0001) was significantly lower; and surgical field quality (MD -0.81; 95% CI -1.32, -0.30; P = 0.002) was significantly better in corticosteroid group. Meta-analysis showed that post-operative endoscopic scores (SMD -0.39; 95% CI -0.60, -0.17; P = 0.0004) were significantly better in corticosteroid group compared to no corticosteroid group. There was no increase in risk of sinusitis (RR 0.64; 95% CI 0.32, 1.30; P = 0.22) between use of corticosteroids and no corticosteroids; There was no significant difference in recurrence risk of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in mixed population studies (RR 0.77; 95% CI 0.35, 1.70; P = 0.52) between the two groups but analysis of studies reporting on chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) (RR 0.64;95% CI 0.45,0.91;P=0.01) showed significant difference in favour of the corticosteroid group. Conclusion: Pre-operative use of local and/or systemic corticosteroids in FESS, results in significantly reduced blood loss, shorter operative time and improved surgical field quality. Studies are limited on the intra-operative use of corticosteroids to reduce postoperative pain. Postoperative corticosteroids improve postoperative endoscopic scores in CRS and recurrence rates in cases of CRSwNP.

Recurrent leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminate: a case report
Authors: B. Mensah Yaw , Buadi Lawrence , Abrahams Afua , A. Y. Appau Andrea , Mensah Kwadwo
Published: June 2021

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD), a rare and unusual condition affecting mainly women of reproductive age, causes peritoneal and subperitoneal nodules formed by smooth muscle. Very few cases have been diagnosed since the disease was first described. We present a 42year old female who was managed for infertility and uterine myomata at a Municipal hospital in Ghana. Following a pelvic ultrasound diagnosis of multiple uterine myomata the patient was booked for myomectomy. At surgery to remove her myomata, the patient was found to have several peritoneal nodules some of which were attached to peritoneum, omentum and the surface of bowel loops in addition to a uterine myoma. The disease has since recurred twice after two laparotomies. The diagnosis was made by histopathology of ultrasound-guided biopsy of the nodules, and she has since been on GnRH analogue treatment. LPD simulates peritoneal carcinomatosis; thus, a good history, clinical evaluation, radiological imaging, and histopathologic analysis must be accurately diagnosed. Surgeons’ and Radiologists’ knowledge of the condition is fundamental to ensuring correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment and to minimising the probability of malignant transformation.

Objectives: To determine the rate and factors associated with viral load non-suppression among adults living with HIV/AIDS on active anti-retroviral therapy (ART).Design: A retrospective cross-sectional studySetting: Three ART clinics in Kumasi, GhanaParticipants: All HIV-infected adults who were ≥18 years and on active ART for 12 months and whose viral loadnhad been estimated were included.Main outcome measure: Unsuppressed viral load among patients on ARTResults: In all, 483 HIV patients were included in the study, with 369 (76.4%) achieving viral load suppression. Gender, educational level, comorbidity status, and duration on ART were independently associated with viral nonsuppression (p < 0.05).Conclusions: This study has revealed that the rate of viral suppression in the study area is lower than the UNAIDS 90% target. The findings have implications on designing new and stemming up implementation of existing interventions to improve the rate of viral suppression among patients in the study area. It is also necessary that more of such studies are replicated in other parts of the country to identify risk factors for virological failure among patients on ART.

Understanding the level and distribution of genetic diversity in African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) would strengthen breeding and conservation programmes towards domestication and sustainable use of this species. Sixteen accessions of P. globosa were assessed for variability based on seed morphology, seed protein and DNA profiling. Significant variation in seed characteristics were observed across locations. Seed protein profiling by SDS-PAGE revealed homogeneity as most bands were found common in all accessions, indicating that the protein profiles are highly conserved. Protein profiling separated the 16 accessions into four major clusters at 0.93 similarity coefficient. Most accessions grouping into Cluster 1 had a similarity coefficient of close to 100% and were from the Derived Savanna suggesting the presence of duplicates. Accessions NH/2016/P14, NH/2016/P03 and NH/2016/P04 grouped into clusters II, III and IV; respectively. Sixteen RAPD markers generated a total of 256 bands of which 63.67% were polymorphic. Gene diversity ranged from 0.41 to 0.93 and Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) from 0.39 to 0.93. The RAPD-based dendrogram separated accessions into six groups at 0.68 similarity coefficient. Based on a polymorphic seed storage protein marker a genetically distinct accession NH/2016/P04 could be exploited for breeding purposes. The homogeneity of alleles and narrow genetic base as revealed by RAPD and SDS-PAGE analyses suggests possible loss of intraspecific genetic diversity. Thus, intensification of germplasm collections across the different agroecological zones and characterization using specific markers will give a better understanding of diversity of P. biglobosa in order to enhance selection towards conservation, breeding and sustainable utilization.

La Virgen del Águila: reconstrucción y expansión devocional en la contemporaneidad
Authors: Navarro de la Fuente Santiago
Published: June 2021

Desde finales del siglo XVIII la secular devoción a la Virgen del Águila de Alcalá de Guadaíra hubo de enfrentarse a diferentes adversidades que amenazaron su continuidad histórica.  El despoblamiento de la collación original, la pérdida de condición de parroquia de su templo, la necesidad de diversas reconstrucciones del edificio, la destrucción de la imagen y la creación de dos tallas diferentes para sustituirla y el explosivo crecimiento demográfico de la población local en el siglo XX fueron algunas de estas dificultades. A pesar de ello, la devoción a la patrona alcalareña ha alcanzado en las últimas décadas una vitalidad comparable a cualquier periodo de esplendor del pasado, considerándosela la mayor devoción popular de la ciudad y el principal elemento de identidad local.

El presente trabajo aborda la evolución histórica de esta devoción a lo largo de la contemporaneidad, con especial atención a los elementos que han servido para posibilitar la evolución del fenómeno. Su estudio puede relacionarse con lo que ha venido en llamarse “recomposición religiosa de la modernidad”, analizando los modos de pervivencia de lo religioso en tiempos marcados por el proceso de secularización.

Published: June 2021

The differential cross section and some polarization observables have been calculated for the e⁺e¯ → γγ reaction taking into account the contribution of the excited electron. The spin correlation coefficients were calculated for the case when both beams are polarized. We consider two approaches for the excited electron contribution: the eу → γγ contact interaction and the exchange of the excited electron in t- and u-channels. Numerical estimations are given for the excited electron contribution to the differential cross section and spin correlation coefficients for vari-ous values of the electron beam energy and excited electron mass.

Authors: Uvarov V.L. , Zakharchenko A.A.
Published: June 2021

Available data on photonuclear cross-sections, both measured experimentally and obtained on the basis of theoretical models, are characterized sometimes by a considerable spread. In work, a simple method for the estimation of width (FWHM) and maximum (σmax) of excitation function of a reaction with dominant giant dipole resonance, is given. An analytical model is developed for the description of isotope production in an X-ray beam. It is shown, that the established yield of the reaction in a thin target, overlapping completely the beam with known end-point photon energy makes it possible to estimate the σmax and FWHM values. The possibilities of new approach are demonstrated by a numerical experiment on the reference reactions.

The extraction of uranyl nitrate contaminated soil with weak solutions of nitric and hydrochloric acid, caustic sodium and subsequent washing of soil residues with distilled water leads to a more than tenfold decrease in the content of uranium isotopes (U238, U235, U234, and U236) in the soil. At the same time, there is a decrease in the content of natural radionuclides (Na22, K40, Zn65, Sn113, Sn126) in the extracted soil samples. An increase in their content in the extract of the analyzed soil sample corresponds to a decrease in their content in the residue of the extracted soil sample. The combined extraction with weak solutions of these acids and alkalis leads to the enrichment of the soil with nitrates and chlorine-containing compounds of non-radioactive metals.

Introduction: tooth extraction can cause injury involving the bone structure and soft tissue of the oral cavity. Tooth extraction can cause various complications, one of which is bleeding. Red ginger is a type of spice that is most widely used in various food and beverage recipes. Red ginger is commonly used by the public as a cold, digestive, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic drug. Various studies have shown that ginger has antioxidant properties, flavonoids, and oleoresins found in the rhizome. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the concentration of red ginger extract (Zingiber Officinale Varr. Rubrum) on collagen density after extraction of guinea pig teeth (Cavia porcellus). Materials and method: the method of this research is an experimental in vivo laboratory with a post-test-only control group design. The hypothesis test was carried out by the One Way Anova test and was carried out on 24 male guinea pigs. The experimental animals were divided into 4 groups which were distinguished by concentration, 10%, 20%, 30%, and the control group given 2% CMC-Na gel respectively. Results and discussions: The results showed that red ginger extract gel concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30% can increase collagen density compared to CMC-Na 2%. Conclusion: the red ginger extract gel with a concentration of 30% was most effective at increasing collagen density compared to concentrations of 10% and 20%.
BULK FILL COMPOSITE RESIN RESTORATION TECHNIQUES REPLACE INCREMENTAL TECHNIQUES
Authors:   Department of Conservative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahasaraswati University Denpasar-Indonesia, Yudistian Ilma
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Shrinkage during the polymerization process is the main disadvantage of using composite resins because it creates pressure between the tooth and the restoration which causes failure of the adhesion of the composite resin to the tooth, micro-fissures, and cuspid deflection. Review. To reduce shrinkage that occurs, it is known that conventional composite resins must be inserted into the cavity incrementally or in layers with a maximum thickness of 2 mm per layer. However, the incremental insertion method has several disadvantages, namely that it requires a longer clinical time for restoration. To overcome the shortcomings of these conventional composites, Bulk-fill composite resin was introduced. Composite bulk fill is a sophisticated technology that allows composites to be directly placed on the restoration, has a low polymerization shrinkage to reduce micro-leakage, reduces stress in the presence of elasticity, increases the depth of at least 4 mm translucent at the time of application, is very conducive to light transmission, is more flowable to allow adaptation to the cavity, including cervical margins, it is easy to apply with minimal handling and is resistant to large stresses. Conclusion. With the characteristics possessed by the Bulk-fill composite resin, it is known that the bulk-fill technique in addition to reducing the clinical application time, can also improve the edge adaptation between the restoration and the tooth compared to the incremental technique, without reducing its physical strength

Published: June 2021

Sosyal adalet, gelir dağılımı ve endüstriyel demokrasi gibi emek piyasasının sınırlarını aşan konuları içeren endüstri ilişkileri, ülkelerin uyguladığı sosyal ve ekonomik politikalara göre şekillenen oldukça karmaşık bir sistemdir. Neoliberal politikaların etkisiyle son yıllarda emek piyasalarında meydana gelen dönüşümle endüstri ilişkilerinin kurumsal yapısı güç kaybetmeye başlamıştır. Bu nedenle toplu çalışma ilişkileri düzeninden, bireysel çalışma ilişkileri düzenine doğru bir geçiş yaşanmaktadır. Endüstri ilişkilerinin kurumsal yapısının zayıflaması, emek piyasalarındaki dengenin bozulmasına ve bir bütün olarak ekonomiyi olumsuz etkileme potansiyeli taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Avrupa Birliği üye ülkelerin endüstri ilişkileri sistemlerine ayrı bir önem vermektedir. Avrupa Yaşam ve Çalışma Koşullarını İyileştirme Vakfı (Eurofound) tarafından Endüstri İlişkileri Endeksi yayınlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Avrupa Birliği üyesi ülkelerin uyguladıkları refah rejimleri ile Endüstri İlişkileri Endeksi arasında bir bağ olup olmadığını ortaya koyarak, hangi refah rejiminde endeks değerlerinin hangi nedenlerle yüksek veya düşük olduğunu tespit etmektir.
Challenges to globalization and its impact on prevailing international liberal order
Authors: Khan Muhammad Adeel , Naazer Manzoor Ahmad , Mahmood Amna
Published: June 2021

Challenges to globalization have grave implications for the worldwide liberal order that emerged with the end of the cold war. These challenges began to ascend from the West. The occasions like Brexit, ascent of radical rightist political groups in Europe, recognition of isolationist policies, choice of former US President Donald Trump (Originator of isolationist policies), and the strive towards confinement of manufacture and services have altered the contours of global liberal order. The objective of this examination is to find the factors that prepared ground for anti-globalization accounts as well as to discover its effect on the global liberal order by applying the content analysis method. This study will assume qualitative methodology utilizing both primary and secondary data i.e., government documents, annual reports, speeches of leaders, books, journal articles and newspapers etc. The findings of the study concludes that anti-globalization narratives are translating into the electoral processes, progressing hyper-nationalism over liberal order; multi-polarity above Uni-polarity; and Isolationism above free market economy. All such changes have critical repercussions for the global liberal order, hence, should be observed cautiously. If the pattern proceeds, the world pioneers ought to think about modifying the worldwide associations, alliances, as well as national security procedures.
Indonesian Provinces SDGs Composite Index: Lampung Province Analysis
Authors: Andriati Reny , Yusuf Arief Anshory
Published: June 2021

Publications of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have mainly been conducted at a national level and  separately for each goal. No prior research has been done on SDGs composite index at a provincial level in Indonesia. It is necessary to create a composite index that presents a single value at the provincial level to enable regional evaluation. The Indonesia Province SDGs composite index is developed from indicators based on Statistics Indonesia gathered from several publications. The data sources are the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) and the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) which were linked surveys held in 2018. Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis are used as the methods to select the indicators of the SDGs. Those selected indicators are then normalized using the min-max method and subsequently weighted using factor loading derived from the principal component analysis. Finally, the indicators are aggregated using an arithmetic mean to determine the composite index. The Indonesia Province SDGs composite index is an approach to measure achievement of SDGs agenda. In addition, each goal achievement is summarized as a goal index. The SDGs composite index for Lampung Province is 52.2%, meaning that Lampung Province is 52.2% of the way to fully achieving the SDGs, according to the measures used to calculate this index. The findings on goal index suggest that development is highly requested on public services such as housing and water supply.

This study aimed to assess the stressors and coping mechanisms of Senior High School (SHS) Teachers. Moreover, it aimed to establish the difference between the stressors and coping mechanisms of Senior High School teachers in Tagbilaran City Schools Division, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. Specifically, it determined the significant difference in the respondents’ stressors and coping mechanisms when categorized according to age and gender. Based on the assessment and findings, stress management measures are proposed.

          The respondents of this study were the Public Senior High School (SHS) Teachers of Tagbilaran City Schools Division, Tagbilaran City, Bohol. No sampling technique was used because the total population of teachers participated in the study. The descriptive-correlational in nature. It employed a questionnaire in gathering the data to measure stressors and coping mechanisms used by the respondents.

The researcher found that teachers are stressed if the physical working environment is not conducive to learning and teaching. Moreover, lack of resource materials and other paperwork related can really affect the teachers mentally. On the other hand, emotional and social stressors did not affect too much, although teachers have encountered these stressors while in school. Thus, the respondents’ stressors and coping mechanisms used by the teachers have no significant difference when categorized according to age and sex except for the physical coping in terms of gender.

Emergency medicine trainees in case of disasters: possibilities for improvement?

In Flanders, emergency medicine trainees (EMTs) are first-line responders at mass casualty incidents (MCIs) and must be prepared to manage MCIs. In an inquiry EMTs evaluated their perceived self-confidence, knowledge and skills of MCI management. The hypothesis of the study was that EMTs are not sufficiently prepared to manage MCIs.

EMTs of 4 Flemish universities were invited to complete a survey on MCI management. Their knowledge was tested using 7 theoretical questions, and additionally demographic data was collected. The survey was distributed electronically and overseen by emergency physicians qualified in disaster management.

The response rate was 35%: 66 trainees completed the survey. Gender and trainee training level was equally distributed. Of the respondents, 32% had followed MCI management courses. Of those, 67% felt they had gained enough knowledge. Only 5% felt their self-confidence was sufficient. Of all trainees, 27% had participated in MCI exercises. The majority of trainees felt MCI exercises were essential to improve self-confidence, knowledge and skills.

Trainees rated their self-confidence higher concerning traffic (73%) and house fire MCIs (65%) than regarding biological (20%) or nuclear (15%) MCIs. Those who had followed the two-day MCI course rated their self-confidence higher in understanding general MCI terminology (p < 0.001). Those who had participated in MCI exercises had more confidence in practical skills such as using communication technology (68% vs. 36%, p = 0.013).

The EMTs indicated not being prepared enough to manage MCIs. Participation in MCI exercises was associated with higher self-confidence, knowledge and skills. EMTs in Flanders are thus recommended to follow MCI management courses, MCI exercises and e-learning modules before working in the emergency medical service. The universities may take up a coordinating role in the development and organisation of these courses, training exercises and tools.
