Los medios y los fines de la pena
Authors:   , Ferradás Abalo Eliana Laura
Published: November 2021

En la presente investigación analizamos la cobertura realizada por los diarios Clarín y Página/12 sobre la reforma de la ley 24.660 de ejecución de la pena privativa de la libertad. Exploramos no sólo los modos en que esta modificación se presentó en la prensa, sino también las tendencias, posicionamientos y concepciones que se pusieron en juego en relación con la figura de la punición, el funcionamiento del sistema penal y los fines asignados a la pena privativa de la libertad. Para ello, tomando las noticias referidas a la reforma, examinamos las modalidades discursivas empleadas por cada diario para definir el problema de la inseguridad, diagnosticar causas y ofrecer soluciones, así como las voces y fuentes consultadas, a partir de lo cual identificamos los “encuadres” que organizan la información en cada medio. Analizamos también las narrativas periodísticas configuradas alrededor del caso de Micaela García, una joven entrerriana asesinada en Gualeguay por un violador reincidente, enfocándonos especialmente en los actores y demandas que emergieron tras la muerte de la joven, así como en la asignación de responsabilidades en torno al caso, para poder determinar su productividad político-mediática. Por último, investigamos los discursos y concepciones que aparecen en la prensa analizada sobre las agencias del sistema penal, particularizando en los discursos sobre la cárcel y en las finalidades asignadas a la pena privativa de la libertad, y establecimos vinculaciones entre estas conceptualizaciones y las políticas que favorecen el fenómeno contemporáneo conocido como encarcelamiento masivo. Para llevar adelante este trabajo, registramos un corpus mediático compuesto por 535 noticias, las versiones taquigráficas de las sesiones parlamentarias relativas a la reforma y el texto de la ley 24.660, con sus respectivos proyectos de reforma. Como punto de llegada advertimos que, aunque la cárcel es un aspecto clave de una reforma que extiende los tiempos de condena en prisión, constituye una problemática insuficientemente abordada. Por ello planteamos la necesidad de que los medios faciliten un debate más complejo sobre el significado y los fines de la pena privativa de la libertad, en un contexto de tasas de encarcelamiento nunca vistas.

Malarstwa Józefa Czapskiego – rozwój po okręgu
Authors: Taranczewski Paweł
Published: November 2021

Artykuł poświęcony jest twórczości Józefa Czapskiego, polskiego malarza, pisarza, epistolografa i diarysty, zmarłego w 1993 r. w Maisons-Laffitte. Artysta angażował się za życia również w sprawy ludzkie i w politykę. Niniejszy artykuł zajmuje się wyłącznie jego malarstwem. Po krótkim przedstawieniu biografii artystycznej Czapskiego dokonana została pogłębiona analiza jego dzieł. W artykule wykorzystane zostały listy i wspomnienia artysty oraz podstawowa literatura przedmiotu. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że twórczość Czapskiego jest zamknięta, nie przybędzie żadna nowa praca, ani rysunkowa, ani malarska, zarazem jednak jest otwarta, ponieważ wątki malarstwa Czapskiego pozostały niedomknięte. Dzieła Czapskiego są zbiorem uporządkowanym w tym sensie, że można wyróżnić linię okręgu, wzdłuż którego się układają. Z tym że początek drogi nie pokrywa się z jej końcem. Czapski porzuca swe pierwsze, raczej nieudolne prace ekspresjonistyczne, podejmując wyzwanie postimpresjonizmu sensu largo. Jednak nie satysfakcjonuje go wizja postimpresjonizmu i malarstwo skoncentrowane na czystych delektacjach barwnych. Powraca do pierwotnych zainteresowań de l’horreur de la vie, wchłaniając nauki i doświadczenia, które dało mu życie oraz przetrawienie i w konsekwencji porzucenie postimpresjonizmu. A więc kolor, rozumiany nie tak, jak go pojmował impresjonizm, lecz raczej tak, jak ekspresjonizm, jednak temperowany szkołą postimpresjonistyczną i sztuką francuską. Malarstwo Czapskiego zatacza krąg: droga zaczyna się „straszną głową”, doświadcza postimpresjonizmu i rozkwita malarstwem obrazującym l’horreur de la vie i niepokój skryty w ostrych barwach ostatnich pejzaży. Autor określa dorobek Józefa Czapskiego jako wielki, o czym decyduje ostatecznie jego twórczość, która skupia w sobie, niczym zwornik, wszystkie wątki: artysty malarza, pisarza oraz człowieka oddanego sprawom publicznym.
Esprit de corps kawalerii Królestwa Polskiego (1815–1831)
Authors: Trąbski Maciej
Published: November 2021

Esprit de corps jest niezwykle ciekawym tematem badawczym, gdyż związany jest z grupową samoświadomością żołnierzy danego oddziału lub niekiedy nawet całej formacji. Poczucie wyjątkowości, elitarności oraz duma z przeszłości miały i mają nadal bardzo duże znaczenie zarówno w procesie wyszkolenia, jak i w utrzymaniu wysokiej wartości bojowej w czasie działań wojennych. Należy jednak zwrócić uwagę, że „duch korpusu” wykształca się najczęściej w trudnych sytuacjach – „wypala w ogniu walki”. Oczywiście w dłuższej perspektywie czasu możliwe jest również wykształcenie takiej wspólnoty w warunkach służby pokojowej, zwłaszcza przez charyzmatycznych dowódców. W artykule zaprezentowany został esprit de corps kawalerii polskiej z czasów konstytucyjnego Królestwa Polskiego i powstania listopadowego. W wyniku analizy materiałów źródłowych, przede wszystkim pamiętnikarskich, a także na podstawie wcześniejszych badań źródeł archiwalnych, wysnuty został wniosek o kształtowaniu się w latach 1815 - 1831 wspólnoty emocjonalnej w ramach korpusu kawalerii, w obu formacjach jazdy (strzelców konnych i ułanów) oraz w poszczególnych pułkach. Należy zauważyć, że do czasu wybuchu powstania listopadowego proces ten był utrudniony z powodu wcześniejszego rozformowania oddziałów armii Księstwa Warszawskiego i polskich oddziałów armii Cesarstwa Francuskiego (na przełomie 1814 i 1815 roku), a także ze względu na ścisłe przestrzeganie regulaminów. W związku z tym ogólnokawaleryjski esprit de corps w tym czasie przejawiał się przede wszystkim poprzez kultywowanie i propagowanie pamięci o wydarzeniach z epoki napoleońskiej. Silny impuls w kierunku budowy „ducha korpusu” pojawił się po Nocy Listopadowej i podczas działań wojennych przeciwko armii rosyjskiej, w czasie których kawaleria niejednokrotnie się odznaczała. Chociaż w wyniku klęski powstania listopadowego proces ten został przerwany, tym niemniej stał się jedną z części składowych esprit de corps kawalerii II Rzeczypospolitej.

FINANCIAL DIPLOMACY IN INTERDISCIPLINARY DISCOURSE
Authors: KRAVCHUK Nataliya , LUTSYSHYN Oleh
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Global transformation processes, the globalization of the financial sphere in particular, which have intensified at the turn of the XX – XXI centuries, created new preconditions for the economization of international relations and the expansion of classical diplomatic tools (including economic and financial) for the foreign policy of individual actors in international relations. Orthodox approaches are being replaced by the realization that financial diplomacy is the basis for forming the economic image of the state; the institution of promoting national interests outside states and integration associations; the form of political influence and foreign economic policy; as well as a public-private partnership in international affairs. A huge variety of interests and contradictions are intertwined when talking about financial diplomacy.

In this sense, the study of financial diplomacy involves going beyond the disciplinary division of social sciences and necessities of the formation of the generalization theory principles, which would be adequate to modern transformations in the system of international relations.

The purpose of the article is to scientifically argue the need to apply the concept of "financial diplomacy" in scientific circulation; based on the logic of methodological monism, to reveal the interdisciplinary nature of financial diplomacy as a new independent object of economic diplomacy, which requires deepening the conceptual foundations and expanding its application in practice.

Methods: scientific synthesis, interdisciplinary exchange, cross-sectional research, integrated thinking.

Results. It has been found that financial diplomacy is an insufficiently discussed concept in science. It is argued that financial diplomacy, as an interdisciplinary phenomenon, should be considered in the context of interdisciplinary discourse at the conceptual and empirical levels, combining pragmatism of politics, the rationality of economics, and the art of diplomacy. At the conceptual level, it is proposed to consider financial diplomacy as an important component of economic diplomacy and as an independent area of diplomatic practice, formed under the influence of systemic determinants of global development. At the empirical level, financial diplomacy is a multidisciplinary institution of diplomacy. Within this paper models, forms, and levels of financial diplomacy are singled out; its universal methods are supplemented by specific tools; emphasis is placed on the problems of forming a modern network structure of financial diplomacy at both the formal and informal levels.

Conclusions. The objective necessity of separating financial diplomacy into a separate specific branch of modern diplomatic activity is scientifically substantiated; its interdisciplinary nature is revealed and a polymodal concept of research at the conceptual and empirical levels is proposed.
Reportes Integrados voluntarios, ¿es información integrada?
Authors: Zúñiga Felipe , Pincheira, Roxana , Aguilar María , Maragaño Gustavo
Published: November 2021

En los últimos 40 años el número de reportes independientes asociados a materias medioambientales, sociales y de gobiernos corporativos se ha incrementado considerablemente. A fines del 2013 se publica el marco conceptual de Reportes Integrados (RI) que integra aspectos financieros y no financieros en una sola narrativa mostrando cómo la organización crea valor en el tiempo. Mediante el desarrollo de un índex basado en el Marco Conceptual Internacional de los Reportes Integrados, este artículo investiga los factores que motivan la calidad de las divulgaciones corporativas de los RI presentados al cierre contable 2018 en el mercado chileno. El índice permite evaluar qué se está divulgando como información integrada y qué impulsa la variación en la calidad de estos reportes. Mediante el análisis de todos los RI divulgados, los resultados sugieren un alto grado de discrecionalidad en la información presentada. Existe información incompleta e inexacta, lo que se contrapone a la esencia de los RI. Se concluye que el proceso aún no está institucionalizado y que, contrario a las expectativas, no ha estimulado un nuevo mecanismo integrado de divulgación en Chile. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio no son consistentes con lo que, en teoría, son los RI. Se debe tener cuidado al evaluar la información corporativa a través de un informe denominado “integrado” cuando no hay un análisis en profundidad del contenido mínimo requerido de acuerdo con los estándares internacionales.
Global Threats and European security: Reassessing Pro-national European Nationalism
Authors: Balla Evanthia
Published: November 2021

The European Union currently faces a plethora of security threats, which are global in nature, cause and treatment. This dangerous situation has not only put the key European humanistic and democratic values at risk, but also the European project in itself. Moreover, it has emphasised the need for redefining its ideological limitations. Under this prism, two main questions arise: How can one perceive Europeanism today, and to what extent can old European nationalist conceptions contribute to a better understanding of Europe’s current global security strategy? In this context, this work tests the demonstration and relevance of Giuseppe Mazzini’s pro-national European nationalism rhetoric in the current European security agenda. The methodological approach to this challenge is based on an essentially conceptual analysis of the European security strategy, focusing on ‘The Global strategy for the foreign and security policy of the European Union’, in light of Mazzini’s thoughts of nationalism and unity, as presented in his work. The main argument of this paper is that the concept of Pro-national European Nationalism is present in the current security documents. However, this seems to limit the ambition of the vision itself.

We
introduce a distributed, fine-granuled, policy-based resource access control
protocol leveraging on Attribute-Based Encryption. The protocol secures the
whole access control procedure from the authorization issuer to the resource
server providing grant confidentiality, proof of possession, antiforgery and
may be implemented through a common web token exchange flow plus a HTTP basic
authentication. As such, it may easily map to Cloud computing SaaS paradigms,
enabling services integration into a single authorization-centric ecosystem
even across multiple identity domains. We also present the results of a

Authors: Islam Md Khairul , Yeasmin Mst. Nilufa , Kaushal Chetna , Amin Md Al , Islam Md Rakibul , Showrov Md Imran Hossain
Published: November 2021

Deep learning's rapid gains in automation are making it more popular in a variety of complex jobs. The self-driving object is an emerging technology that has the potential to transform the entire planet. The steering control of an automated item is critical to ensuring a safe and secure voyage. Consequently, in this study, we developed a methodology for predicting the steering angle only by looking at the front images of a vehicle. In addition, we used an Internet of Things-based system for collecting front images and steering angles. A Raspberry Pi (RP) camera is used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi (RP) processing unit to capture images from vehicles, and the RP processing unit is used to collect the angles associated with each image. Apart from that, we've made use of deep learning-based algorithms such as VGG16, ResNet-152, DenseNet-201, and Nvidia's models, all of which were trained using labeled training data. Our models are End-to-End CNN models, which do not require extracting elements from data such as roads, lanes, or other objects before predicting steering angle. As a result of our comparative investigation, we can conclude that the Nvidia model's performance was satisfactory, with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) value of 0. But the Nvidia model outperforms the other pre-trained models, even though other models work well.

L’Olandese Volante: da Vasco da Gama a Wagner
Authors: Collini Patrizio
Published: November 2021

The legend of the Flying Dutchman has undergone between 1500 and 1800 several metamorphoses. A first hint to it is to be found in the fifth canto of the Lusíadas, where Vasco da Gama’s enterprise is presented as a faustian one. But only in the romantic era the legend develops all his spectacular and burlesque resources, and especially in Heine’s Schnabelewopski and Wagner’s Flying Dutchman.
Viaggi, tempi e mondi: l’Oriente nell’opera di Mário Cláudio
Authors: Almeida Catarina Nunes de
Published: November 2021

The starting point of this paper is three works of the contemporary Portuguese writer Mário Cláudio – the novels Peregrinação de Barnabé das Índias (1998), Os Naufrágios de Camões (2017) and the play A Ilha de Oriente (1989) –, focusing on how the author rewrites the voyages of Discovery of the 16th century and shapes an image of the East. My aim is to analyse the representation of the so-called Orient and the memory of maritime travels, not only from the point of view of Mário Cláudio’s poetics, but also in the light of a collective discourse that is at the same time aesthetic, historical and mythical.
REDUCING THE NOISE LOAD ON WILDLIFE DURING SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS
Authors: Shvetsov Alexey
Published: November 2021

Scientific expeditions to the wild are usually carried out by cars that create a negative noise load on the inhabitants of the wild. This study suggests a way to reduce such a noise load by replacing cars with internal combustion engines with electric vehicles.
The measurements made it possible to specify the quantitative indicators of reducing the noise load achieved as a result of replacing cars with internal combustion engines with electric vehicles. The article specifies the limitations in the use of electric vehicles during
scientific expeditions into the wild, resulting from special conditions, such as impassability and lack of service infrastructure, such as battery charging stations. The data presented in this paper may be of interest both for scientific and environmental organizations, and
for government regulatory institutions in the fields of ecology, nature protection and scientific activity.

Published: November 2021

The paper presents a research algorithm consisting of: a developed methodology for selection of target values for natural frequencies and localization of vibration-loaded area of the powertrain based on calculation (simulation) and experimental research of resonant frequencies of the powertrain in operating modes and disturbances from two types of roads, calculation and experimental methodology for research of natural frequencies and oscillation modes of the powertrain, developed methodology for powertrain design refinement in terms of natural frequencies up to compliance with the target values and reduction of structural noise. Results of calculation and experimental research of resonant frequencies of the powertrain in operating modes and in case of disturbance from two types of roads are provided. There is also a justification given for selection of the target value for the powertrain natural frequency. Calculation of powertrain natural frequencies and oscillation modes was performed using the finite element method; experimental verification of the calculation was carried out as well. Using the verified calculation (simulation) model, design changes were introduced to reach the target values for natural frequencies and to reduce structural noise. Comparative calculation studies of the frequency response confirming the efficiency of the design changes are carried out.
SANITARY PROTECTION ZONES BY NOISE FACTOR FROM GAS DISTRIBUTION POINTS
Authors: Tupov Vladimir , Skvortsov Vitaliy
Published: November 2021

The power equipment of thermal power plants is a source of noise to the surrounding area. One of the sources of noise for the surrounding area are gas distribution points (GDP) of thermal power plants (TPP) and district thermal power plants (RTS). Noise from gas distribution points may exceed sanitary standards at the border of the sanitary protection zone. The article shows that the radiated noise from gas distribution points depends on the power of the thermal power plant (natural gas consumption) and the type of valves. Three types of valves used in gas distribution points are considered. Formulas are obtained for calculating the width of the sanitary protection zone for gas distribution points for thermal stations, depending on the consumption of natural gas (electric power of the thermal power plant) and the type of valve. It is shown that, depending on the valve used, the noise level at the border of the sanitary protection zone can either meet sanitary standards or exceed them. This allows at the design stage to select the required type
of valve or to determine mitigation measures from hydraulic fracturing.

Published: November 2021

This article presents the results of calculations of acoustic and gas-dynamic parameters of silencers of various design designs. The calculations are based on the developed methods [1, 2]. 8 types of exhaust noise mufflers of various design designs were selected for the calculations. The article contains calculated values of the following parameters: the range of gas flow velocities at the muffler outlet pipe, m/s; pressure range, Pa; temperature range, K and acoustic power values, dB. Radiation patterns with the values of
the "own" and "shift" noise parameters are presented. The separation of "own" and "shift" noise is performed. The data of comparative results of experimental and numerical parametric studies are presented; satisfactory comparative results are obtained. The influence of individual design parameters (the volume of the silencer, the presence of perforation) on the acoustic efficiency of silencers is analyzed. The mechanisms of noise reduction and ways to improve their designs are shown.
THEORETICAL STUDY OF NOISE GENERATION DURING DRILLING OF WOOD WORKPIECES WITH REGARD TO THE DRILL FEED RATE
Authors: Ruslyakov Dmitry
Published: November 2021

In contrast to metal-cutting machines, woodworking machines are characterized not only by sound pressure levels at the operators’ workplaces that exceed the sanitary standards, but also by dust concentrations that also exceed the standards. At present,
a set of theoretical and experimental studies has been carried out and engineering solutions have been proposed to bring vibroacoustic characteristics and dustiness to the sanitary standards for woodworking thickness-jointing machines, band and circular saw
machines, model and contour-milling machines. Studies of this kind in relation to woodworking drilling machines have not been done. It should be noted that not only the layout of woodworking drilling machines, but also the dynamics of the drilling process has
significant differences from the above mentioned machines.
ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS DECREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF OPERATION OF ACTIVE NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL SYSTEMS IN DUCTS AND THE WAYS OF IMPROVEMENT OF PROTECTION
Authors: Vasilyev Andrey
Published: November 2021

The factors influencing on the active noise and vibration control system efficiency of operation and the ways of the system
protection improvement are discussed. Analysis of factors decreasing the efficiency of operation of active noise and vibration control
systems in ducts is showing that there are such factors as physical characteristics of operating medium (temperature, pressure,
moisture, vibrations, dust), masking acoustic and vibrating interferences of other sources of noise and vibration etc., which may significantly
reduce the efficiency, reliability and durability of active systems operation. The ways of improvement of protection of the elements
of the active noise and vibration control system are discussed. Further improvement of active noise control and vibration system
elements protection allows the system to operate with higher efficiency and reliability. Widely, achieving of good results in the solution
of this problem helps us to extend the possibilities of active noise and vibration control systems practical application.

The features of noise generation processes in exhaust and suction noise silencers are shown. A method for testing silencers has been developed. The classification of the main structural elements of exhaust and suction noise silencers, depending on the
purpose, is proposed. Experimental studies of the relationship between the acoustic efficiency and the back pressure of silencers from the structural design of the elements are performed. The factors influencing the efficiency in the low-frequency and high-frequency regions of the spectrum are determined: the volume of silencers, the number of chambers, perforation, sound absorption, flow ejection, etc. Recommendations for the design of noise silencers are proposed.

An important characteristic of noise silencers, which determines the effectiveness of their use, in addition to reducing the noise level and the pressure losses they create, is the operational resource. Short-term unfavorable operating modes of boilers are
possible, in which condensation of water vapor on the walls of flues through which flue gases are evacuated to the environment is possible. Condensation in the gas path leads to corrosion of the metal of the flues, as well as noise silencers. The article lists recommendations for the design of noise silencers installed in the gas paths of boilers operating under conditions of possible condensation of water vapor from flue gases. The introduced silencers of noise of gas paths of boilers which not only reduce noise highly effectively, but also allow to work in difficult operational conditions are given.

One aspect that is of concern to the Government of Tulungagung Regency is in terms of increasing Regional Original Income (PAD) through the installation of billboards. The Regent in this case as the Regional Head has the authority to make regulations relating to the administration of billboards, the policy regarding the implementation of billboards is to control urban spatial planning so that it is more organized, improve services to the community, and can protect the interests and public order, as well as increase PAD (here in after referred to as Regional Original Revenue) of Tulungagung Regency through advertisement tax revenues. Aims to review the regulation of the administration of advertisements related to licensing regarding arranging permits, installation, form, place of billboards and value advertisement tax, as well as to explain the licensing and tax mechanism on billboards and increase the Regional Original Income (PAD) of Tulungagung Regency through the advertisement tax sector. This research use desciptive qualitative approach, this research is a type of legal social research with the ROCCIPI approach. From the results of the study, it is concluded that the formation of the Regent's draft regulation requires a policy concept through an Academic Paper. Academic papers are a scientific basis and provide a direction in the preparation of public policies.

Published: November 2021

A microbiota conjuntival dos cães é formada por uma associação de micro-organismos normalmente não patogênicos, que interagem com o sistema imune do animal e possui função de atuar como barreira natural contra entrada de agentes patogênicos. O presente trabalho foi delineado para investigar os micro-organismos presentes na conjuntiva de cães sadios. Foram utilizados 25 cães sadios da rotina clínico cirúrgica do hospital veterinário da Unimar e após instilar uma gota de colírio anestésico em cada olho colheu-se amostra conjuntival superior e inferior de ambos os olhos com swab etéril, preservando a amostra em meio Stuart e logo após cultivada em meios BHI (Brain Heart Infusion), Ágar sangue de carneiro 6%, Ágar MacConkey e Ágar TSA. Após o crescimento bacteriano foi realizada a identificação dos micro-organismos cultivados por meio de testes de triagem bioquímica como oxidase e catalase, além da análise da morfologia bacteriana em lâmina, padrão e coloração de crescimento em ágar. Houve crescimento bacteriano em amostras colhidas de 20 animais das quais 38% dos isolados foram compatíveis com S. intermedius; 30% de Bacilo sp. e 10% S. aureus. A espécie Staphylococcus sp. é natural de membranas mucosas, não sendo patogênica ao animal. Foi, portanto, constatada a predominância de S. intermedius nas amostras da microbiota do olho dos cães sadios examinados.

The purpose of this study was to provide more light on the effect of Qatada (Acacia hamulosa) honey from Saudi Arabia as a dressing on pilonidal sinus wound healing, antibacterial activity, and cytokine levels. The results revealed that the pH of 3.56 of tested honey, where glucose was 378 mmol/l also the specific gravity was 1.435, while contents of total phenolic and flavonoid and DPPH activity (32.15 mg GAE/100 g honey), (54.27 mg RE/100 g honey) and (127.83 mg/ml) respectively. The mean duration of pilonidal sinus wounds to be ready for surgical closure was 43.5 days in the control (standard dressing) group where the honey dressing group was 28.5 days. Less pain, edema, and foul-smelling discharge were expressed in the honey group if compared with the standard dressing group. The total bacterial count was 9 × 109 at the begging of the experiment then it reduced after the application of standard dressing traditional therapy to (9 ×105) and honey treatment group (9 ×102) after 21 days post-treatment. Significant reduction (p<0.05) was observed in serum TNFα(-52), IL6 - 46), and IL-17 (-60) relatively to pre-treatment values. Based on our findings, we may conclude that Qatada honey bioactivities aided wound healing by increasing tissue growth while decreasing overall bacterial count and inflammation.
Acute and chronic toxicity of ethyl chloride insufflation in two patients
Authors: Levine Jeffrey M , Viduya Jericha
Published: November 2021

Objective: Inhalant abuse has been a source of increasing concern because of its easy accessibility and affordability. Anecdotal reports have previously described ethyl chloride as a potential cause of altered mental state and neurologic symptoms. Its use has been thought to be found most often in adolescents and among men who have sex with men. Common acute symptoms include confusion, dizziness, headache, nausea, and fatigue.  We describe two cases of adult patients who presented to one general hospital emergency department with ethyl chloride toxicity. The first presented with acute delirium; the second with a picture of chronic neurological symptomatology.  It is important that clinicians become familiar with ethyl chloride intoxication because of its prevalence and potential to present with varying acute and chronic symptomatology.
Predictive value of the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index and aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio in early diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy
Authors: Kale İbrahim
Published: November 2021

Objective: We aimed to investigate the predictive value of the first-trimester aspartate aminotransferase/platelet count ratio index (APRI) and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio for intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP).

Material and Methods: The clinical data of patients who admitted to the Obstetrics Department of Umraniye Training and Research Hospital, between 2015-2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The study group consisted of 44 patients with ICP and the control group consisted of randomly selected 92 healthy pregnant women.

Results: The two groups were similar in terms of age, BMI, first and third-trimester platelet count and third-trimester hemoglobin level. Patients with ICP had a significantly higher first-trimester APRI and a lower first trimester AST/ALT ratio than the healthy controls (p <0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). According to the ROC analysis, the optimal cut-off value of the APRI to predict ICP was 0.191, with the sensitivity of 0.66 and specificity of 0.66 (AUC: 0,727), and the optimal cut-off value for AST/ALT ratio was 1.07, with the sensitivity of 0.64, and specificity of 0.62 (AUC: 0,681).

Conclusion: The first-trimester APRI score and AST/ALT ratio is an easy, inexpensive, and non-invasive tool that may be useful in predicting ICP early.
