ОСОБЛИВОСТІ АНСАМБЛЕВОГО ПИСЬМА У ФЛЕЙТОВИХ СОНАТАХ Ф. ГОБЕРА (на прикладі Сонати № 3)
Authors: Andriianova Oksana
Published: March 2024

Мета статті полягає у визначенні специфічних особливостей ансамблевого стилю флейтових сонат Ф. Гобера, невід’ємною складовою якого є ансамблеве письмо як комплексне явище, що будується на певних музично-технологічних принципах. Методологія дослідження спирається на комплексне використання системного та структурно-функціонального методів, музично-історичного підходу, музикознавчого методу жанрово-стильового аналізу. Наукова новизна статті полягає у розробці теоретичних аспектів камерно-ансамблевого стилю флейтових сонат Ф. Гобера, що визначають виконавську логіку творчо-інтерпретаційного процесу.  Висновки.  Розгляд ансамблевого письма у флейтових сонатах органічно пов’язаний з дослідженням становлення флейти як багатофункціонального інструмента із широким полем семантичного навантаження та великим виразовим потенціалом, чому сприяє вивчення особливостей взаємодії флейти і фортепіано на рівнях композиторського тексту й виконавської форми. У смисловому полі поняття «ансамблеве письмо» об’єднуються різні рівні композиторського та виконавських музично-технологічних прийомів (тип музичного тематизму, тембр, регістр, динаміка, штрих та ін.),  що визначає комплексну природу даного явища (за І. Смірновою). Вона дозволяє виявити логіку їхньої взаємодії як передумову стильової цілісності камерно-ансамблевого твору. Розмаїттю флейтового звучання в сонатах Ф. Гобера сприяє використання широкого регістрового, штрихового та динамічного спектру, жанрового забарвлення музичного тематизму та прийомів його розвитку, різних способів взаємодії з фортепіанною партією. Характер музичного тематизму інструментальних партій зумовлює штриховий параметр звучання; показовою є особлива увага композитора до динамічного балансу в ансамблевій єдності флейта-фортепіано, який досягається використанням різнорівневої динаміки. Кожен із зазначених аспектів ансамблевого письма як системного явища претендує на спеціальну розробку, що суттєво збагатить виконавські підходи до флейтових сонат французького композитора та музикознавчу проблематику, пов'язану із розвитком камерно-інструментальних жанрів у ХХ ст., особливостями індивідуально-композиторського стиля та специфікою камерно-ансамблевого виконавства.

Published: March 2024

Objectives  Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is one of the most common causes of chronic neck pain. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a physical therapy modality that can be used to reduce pain and improve function of patients with MPS. The aim of this study was to assess and evaluate the effects of LLLT added to the conventional physical therapy in comparison with the conventional physical therapy alone on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and cervical range of motion (ROM) in cervical MPS patients.

Methods and Materials  Twenty-four adults diagnosed with cervical MPS according to Travell and Simons’ criteria were randomized into 2 equal groups; Group A: receive LLLT on upper trapezius trigger points with conventional physical therapy, while Group B: receive conventional physical therapy alone. Measured outcomes were pain, PPT and cervical flexion and extension ROM, using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Algometer and Goniometer, respectively. Outcomes were measured pre-treatment and immediately post-treatment.

Results and Discussion  A significant improvement in the pain, PPT and cervical flexion and extension were observed in all groups after treatment, compared to the pre-treatment values (P < .05). However, there was no significant difference between the study groups post treatment for all measured outcomes.

Conclusion  Low-level laser therapy is not considered a beneficial extension to the standard conventional therapy on active MPS as it didn’t add to the immediate effect of conventional physical therapy on pain, PPT and ROM in patients with cervical MPS.

Authors: ERTÜRK Nuriye EFE , MENEKLİ Tuğba
Published: March 2024

Objective Anxiety, negatively affects the response to transplantation and the recovery process after transplantation. Anxiety prevalence is high pre and post transplantation but no information is known about during transplantation. This study was conducted to determine anxiety and adverse events during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to explain the association between these two conditions.

Methods The sample consisted of 93 patients with cancer who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Bone Marrow Transplant Centre in Türkiye. The data were collected using a patient information form and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S). Significance between the descriptive characteristics of the participants and the scale was calculated using a one-way ANOVA and Student-T test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of adverse events on the level of anxiety.

Results We found that there was a significant difference between the variables of age (F = 2.497 p = 0.020), gender, years after diagnosis (F= 1.381 p = 0.035), the state of believing that transplant will be successful and previous transplant history, and the STAI-S mean score. The Nagelkerke R2 value of the model was 0.167. The goodness of fit of the model was assessed using Hosmer and Lemeshow’s test (X2 = 8.900, p = 0.203). When analyzing the adverse events during HSCT that affected the occurrence of anxiety, we found that nausea and vomiting increased the anxiety score by 6.1-fold (β: 0.613, p = 0.010), abdominal pain by 4.4-fold (β: 0.449, p = 0.030), and tachycardia by 2.6-fold (β: 0.267, p = 0.020).

Conclusions The results of this study showed that patients experienced nausea and vomiting, hypertension and abdominal pain during stem cell transplantation, respectively; anxiety level was above the moderate level; nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and palpitations increased anxiety. Preventing anxiety during stem cell transplant can reduce adverse effects depend on HSCT.

Authors: Kuramys Serzhan , Bolatbekov Berik , Joshibayev Seythan , Yessenbekov Berikbai , Yessenbekov Berikbai
Published: March 2024

Introduction Congenital VSDs require early correction to avoid serious complications. For many years, the gold standard was the median longitudinal sternotomy, but given the gross cosmetic effect, miniapproaches were developed, but right anterior mini-thoracotomies gained popularity. We modified the method of anterior right-sided minithorcatomy by preserving a. et v. mammaria interna and the purpose of the study was to evaluate its effectiveness.

Material and Methods The design of the study was prospective with historical control. A total of 82 patients who underwent VSD correction were included in the study. All patients were divided into three groups: group 1 operated by median sternotomy (MS) – 15 patients; Group 2 operated by right anterior minithoracotomy (RAMT) – 38 patients; and the 3rd main group operated on by right antero-lateral thoracotomy (RLMT) with preservation of the artery and vein of the internal mammary artery - 29 patients.

Results We revealed the older age in RAMT group. Cardio pulmonary bypasstime and total operation time were shorter in RLMT group, but the time of aortic cross-clamping is shorter than in RAMT group, but longer than in MS group. The length of the skin incision is also the shortest in RLMT group, which enhances the cosmetic effect. Also there were revealed a shorter mechanical lung ventilation time and ICU stay, moreover we observed reduced amount of drainages, as well as quick discharge home.

Conclusion Therefore, improved and modificated right antero-lateral minithoracotomy method with preserving a et v mammaria interna is feasible, has a good cosmetic effect, and short hospitalization stay, but should perform with careful preparation of the entire cardiac team.

In countries like Morocco, drug-sensitive tuberculosis remains a major public health burden. Effective management of this condition is crucial, not only to achieve positive therapeutic outcomes for patients but also to curb its emergence and transmission. This study presents a detailed analysis of the therapeutic approach to drug-sensitive tuberculosis in Morocco. This retrospective study provides an overview of the therapeutic protocol used to treat drug-sensitive tuberculosis. The study examined all tuberculosis patients registered at the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Diagnostic Center in Kenitra from 2014 to 2017. A total of 5207 tuberculosis cases were recorded, with men comprising the majority of patients (63%) in this group, with a sex ratio of 1.7. The most affected age groups were 15 to 24 years and 25 to 34 years. Urban areas had a representation of 53%. The study revealed that 54% of cases were pulmonary, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis accounted for 46%. There were two main stages to the treatment regimens recommended by the WHO. During the initial phase, 96% of patients received a two-month quadritherapy (for new cases), 3% received a three-month regimen (for retreatment cases), and 2% received a three-drug therapy (for those under 15 years). This phase was followed by a continuation phase (bitherapy) lasting four to ten months. 82% of cases showed positive progression, 13% of patients experienced loss to follow-up, 1% had transfers out, and 2% of patients died. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating patient support, education on treatment, and the use of new technologies to enhance the monitoring and follow-up of tuberculosis patients. These measures could help reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with tuberculosis, contributing to overall health improvement.

Authors: Mazumder Ripon Chandra , Sarker Supriya , Islam Saiful , Ahmed ATM Faruque , Halder Ganesh Chandra , Khan Sadiqul Islam
Published: March 2024

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as decreasing kidney function for more than 3 months. Anemia is a common complication of CKD due to a decrease in the hormone erythropoietin related to hemoglobin levels. Folic acid helps with the process of nucleoprotein synthesis and erythropoiesis maintenance.Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the folic acid level in predialytic anaemic chronic kidney disease patients. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of Nephrology of Eastern Medical College & Hospital from September 2020 to August 2021 on predialysis CKD anaemic patient of stage-3 to stage-5. A total of 100 subjects were selected by purposive sampling. The age group was 18 to 70 years. Results: Among the 100 subjects mild, Moderate and Severe aneamia were found in 27%, 44% and 29% respectively. Maximum cases showed normocytic normochromic anaeamia (54%) and 7% cases showed macrocytic aneamia. Serum folic acid levels were found to have decreased in 1 (16.7%), 2 (8.33%) and 7 (10.0%) cases and increased in 2 (33.3%), 5 (20.83%) and 21 (30.0%) cases in stage-3, stage-4 and stage-5 respectively. Conclusion: Anemia is a frequent complication of chronic kidney disease. Inadequate production of erythropoietin by the failing kidneys leads to decreased stimulation of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Folic acid deficiency may represent an influential factor in renal anemia.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Synovial hemangioma is a rare illness frequently misdiagnosed, leading to years of inaction. In this study, we aim to discover the consequences of untreated hemangioma of the knee joint. Case Presentation: Our patient was a 44-year-old male who experienced recurring pain in his left knee. The previous year, the patient experienced pain in his left knee while walking, which has subsided with rest. Although he has been performing radiography at multiple hospitals since 2019, no problems have been recorded. We detected a mass after performing magnetic resonance imaging. The T1-weighted sequence + contras near the medial femoral condyle revealed a homogeneous mass with high intensity. We decided to conduct surgical intervention and total knee replacement. Postsurgical, the patient regained symptom-free. Conclusions: Because of the limited radiographic capacity, synovial hemangioma is uncommon and challenging to diagnose on an outpatient basis. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography are highly beneficial. If intraarticular hemangiomas are not considered, they can cause bony dysplasia and multiple clinical manifestations. Initial total excision can be conducted to decrease the chance of hemarthrosis.
Towards Operationalising Assets Declaration in Cameroon Through Political Will
Authors: Ashukem Jean-Claude N.
Published: March 2024

In recent years, the asset declaration regime has emerged as a useful catalytic tool against corruption. Many nations have now made asset declaration a constitutional or legislative imperative with explicit obligations on appointed and elected government officials to declare their assets and property. However, compliance with these constitutional and legislative prescriptions seems difficult or nearly impossible due to the regime being either problematically weak or there is the problem of non-implementation of the law as in Cameroon. The problem of non-implementation is rooted in the lack of promulgation of the enabling presidential decree to operationalise the law on asset declaration. This situation has made it possible for elected and appointed government officials not to declare their assets and property as required. A need remains to determine what could be done to surmount Cameroon’s public sector corruption conundrum that has brought the country’s image into disrepute. Can political will play this role?

In this article, I attempt to make the case for political will as a tool to operationalise asset declaration in Cameroon. I argue that an asset declaration regime requires more than the enactment of legislation to galvanise the necessary political will and support for their deployment in practice to achieve the intended purpose. I demonstrate that there is a lack of political will by Cameroon’s political ruling elites to ensure compliance with the constitutional and legislative mandates on asset declaration and to fully realise the constitutional democratic values of transparency and accountability. Furthermore, the lack of political will can have a dominant negative hold on the (effective) implementation of asset declaration as an anti-corruption measure. I conclude that decisively confronting compliance with asset declaration laws in Cameroon, urgently requires political will. The doctrinal method of research is used to achieve the objective of the article.

The aim of this research is to find evidence about factors affected to going concern opinion. Those factors are opinion shopping, audit quality, financial distress, audit opinion, and firm growth.

Sampling method using purposive sampling, and find 71 manufacturing companies listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange as sample companies. The data analysis of this research used logistic regressin.

The hypothesis testing find that financial distress and audit opinion affected to going concern opinion. This result show that auditor inclined to give going concern opinion when the probability of firm bankruptcy getting higher, and auditor is not easily give unqualified opinion for the next period base on consideration of going concern opinion in the previously period. This research didn’t find the influence of opinion shopping, audit quality, and firm growth to going concern opinion. This result shows that auditor switching is estimated to give better opinion than previously auditor, so auditor’s independencies are very doubted. Auditor can’t guarantee the auditee not to receive going concern opinion although the sales ratio is increase.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Good Corporate Governance terhadap kinerja perusahaan. Praktek Good Corporate Governance pada penelitian ini diukur dengan Kepemilikan Institusional, Kepemilikan Manajerial, Komisaris Independen, dan Kualitas Audit. Kinerja Perusahaan diukur dengan nilai Return on  Equity sebagai kinerja operasional perusahaan dan Tobin’s Q sebagai nilai kinerja pasar perusahaan.  Metode  statistik  yang  digunakan  adalah  analisis  regresi  berganda.

Sampel penelitian adalah perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia dan mengikuti survei yang dilakukan oleh IICG tahun 2004.2008 dan termasuk dalam CGPI. 

Berdasarkan hasil pengujian hipotesis dapat  diambil  kesimpulan  bahwa Good  Corporate Governance mempengaruhi nilai kinerja pasar perusahaan dengan  menggunakan Regresi  Simultan (Uji F).  Hal  ini  membuktikan bahwa semakin  besar  nilai  pasar asset maka  semakin besar  pula  kerelaan  investor untuk  mengeluarkan pengorbanan yang lebih  untuk memiliki perusahaan tersebut, sehingga perusahaan tersebut memiliki brand image perusahaan yang sangat kuat karena implementasi Good Corporate Governance berhubungan dengan peningkatan citra perusahaan.  Namun,  Good Corporate Governance tidak mempengaruhi secara Uji Signifikansi Parameter Indivudual (Uji t) terhadap Return on Equity dan Tobin’s Q. Hal  ini membuktikan bahwa masih  rendahnya kesadaran emiten dalam menerapkan Good Corporate Governance.

Published: March 2024

The demand for highly robust and metabolically versatile microbes is of utmost importance for replacing fossil-based processes with biotechnological ones. Such an example is the implementation of Paenibacillus polymyxa DSM 365 as a novel platform organism for the production of value-added products such as 2,3-butanediol or exopolysaccharides. For this, a complete genome sequence is the first requirement towards further developing this host towards a microbial chassis. A genome sequencing project has just been reported for P. polymyxa DSM 365 showing a size of 5,788,318 bp with a total of 47 contigs. Herein, we report the first complete genome sequence of P. polymyxa DSM 365, which consists of 5,889,536 bp with 45 RNAs, 106 tRNAs, 5,370 coding sequences and an average GC content of 45.6%, resulting in a closed genome of P. polymyxa 365. The additional nucleotide data revealed a novel NRPS synthetase that may contribute to the production of tridecaptin. Building on these findings, we initiated the top-down construction of a chassis variant of P. polymyxa. In the first stage, single knock-out mutants of non-essential genomic regions were created and evaluated for their biological fitness. As a result, two out of 18 variants showed impaired growth. The remaining deletion mutants were combined in two genome-reduced P. polymyxa variants which either lack the production of endogenous biosynthetic gene clusters (GR1) or non-essential genomic regions including the insertion sequence ISPap1 (GR2), with a decrease of the native genome of 3.0% and 0.6%, respectively. Both variants, GR1 and GR2, showed identical growth characteristics to the wild-type. Endpoint titers of 2,3-butanediol and EPS production were also unaffected, validating these genome-reduced strains as suitable for further genetic engineering.

Background

Investigations assessing the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for distinguish Aspergillus infection from colonization are currently insufficient.

Methods

The performance of mNGS in distinguishing Aspergillus infection from colonization, along with the differences in patients’ characteristics, antibiotic adjustment, and lung microbiota, were analyzed.

Results

The abundance of Aspergillus significantly differed between patients with Aspergillus infection (n=36) and colonization (n=32) (P < 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve result for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS indicated an area under the curve of 0.894 (95%CI: 0.811-0.976), with an optimal threshold value of 23 for discriminating between Aspergillus infection and colonization. The infection group exhibited a higher proportion of antibiotic adjustments in comparison to the colonization group (50% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.001), with antibiotic escalation being more dominant. Age, length of hospital stay, hemoglobin, cough and chest distress were significantly positively correlated with Aspergillus infection. The abundance of A. fumigatus and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) significantly increased in the infection group, whereas the colonization group exhibited higher abundance of A. niger.

Conclusion

BALF mNGS is a valuable tool for differentiating between colonization and infection of Aspergillus. Variations in patients’ age, length of hospital stay, hemoglobin, cough and chest distress are observable between patients with Aspergillus infection and colonization.
Case Report: Thrombus aspiration and in situ thrombolysis via a Guidezilla guide extension catheter in a patient with high-risk pulmonary embolism

Published: March 2024

Standard catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and thrombus aspiration are considered potentially promising approaches for reopening the embolism-related pulmonary artery in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) with high thrombotic burden and deteriorating hemodynamics, especially in those for whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed. However, the constrained accessibility of dedicated catheters has impeded the potential benefits of standard CDT in developing countries. The Guidezilla guide extension catheter (GEC) with a larger diameter and extended length is widely used in challenging coronary anatomy. Nevertheless, there have been few reports on the application of the Guidezilla GEC as a novel option for patients with massive PE when dedicated catheters and surgical thrombectomy are not available. In this case report, we demonstrated that thrombus aspiration and in situ thrombolysis through the Guidezilla GEC are applicable to patients with PE in whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated, resulting in successful reperfusion and positive clinical outcomes.
