Authors: Talera Shreyansh , Singhal Saurabh , Wadhera Nishant , Arora Mayank , Pratap Ravi
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND WHO has declared Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) as a pandemic. Covid-19 leads to sickness and death. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most common circulating protein in the body having oncotic as well as non-oncotic properties. The role of albumin in death among Covid-19 subjects, especially in this part of the country has not been frequently reported. The aim of the study was to analyse the role of serum albumin level as prognostic marker for Covid-19 positive patients. METHODS The present study was conducted in the department of Medicine at Chhatrapati Shivaji Subharti Hospital, Subharti Medical College, Meerut, UP. The study comprised of 100 subjects who were Covid positive from May 2020 to July 2020. A detailed explanation was given to all the participating respondents regarding the study and their contribution to it. Covid-19 was diagnosed on the basis of the WHO interim guidelines. A questionnaire was prepared to collect the patients’ demographic profile. Patients date of admission and discharge was recorded along with the outcome i.e., whether patient expired or survived. Patients’ diagnosis was identified along with the comorbidity (if present). Laboratory investigations comprised of CBC and serum albumin detection. Data so collected was tabulated in an excel sheet, under the guidance of statistician. Collected data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 24 and the tests used were t test and Fisher’s exact test and the level of significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS The study comprised of 100 subjects, out of which 45 were males and 55 were females. The overall mean age of the study subjects was 37.52 years. In our study, mortality was 35.29 %, 9.33 % and 85.7 % of the subjects having Covid-19+ type 2 diabetes (T2DM), only Covid-19 and Covid-19+ hypertension respectively with statistically significant difference as p < 0.05. Albumin level was significantly lower in expired patients (2.99) as compared to survivors (3.85) as p < 0.05. Hospital stay was also higher in expired patients. CONCLUSIONS Covid-19 patients had low serum albumin levels and that might play a role in the survival of patient. KEYWORDS Covid-19, Mortality, Albumin
Lumbosacral Angle Variations in Middle Aged Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain - A Retrospective Study
Authors: Mukherjee Ushnish , Kundu Sourav , Gulati Rachit , Mandal Prabir
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the common debilitating condition in middle-age population. Often the pain is "non-specific" or related to mechanical origin; so, often it is termed as chronic mechanical low back pain. Among the various predisposing factors, abnormal lumber lordosis is more often seen. Radiographic assessment of lumbar lordosis can be done by measuring lumbosacral angle (LSA). Therefore, study of variations in LSA among these patients can give important clues in both pathogenesis and management. The aim of the study is to determine different factors leading to the variations of lumbosacral angle amongst the middle-aged patients presenting with chronic mechanical low back pain. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted by analysing records of 105 CLBP patients of both sex (male = 32, female = 73) in the age group of 45 - 65 years. LSA was directly measured digitally by Ferguson technique from the selected patients’ lateral lumbosacral radiographs. Data was collected in Microsoft Excel 2016 and analysis was done with International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) Statistics version 23. RESULTS The difference in median of LSA of male [Median (IQR) = 37.00 (10.00)] and female [Median (IQR) = 45.00 (8.50)] patients was statistically significant (p-value 0.000). Significant positive correlation was also found between LSA and BMI for both sexes, but more in case of female (Spearman’s rho 0.806 p = 0.000) than male (Spearman’s rho 0.680 p-value 0.000). CONCLUSIONS Variation of LSA was found to have significant relations with sex and body mass index (BMI), but not with the age. Statistically significant positive correlation between LSA and BMI alongside higher BMI of the females in the study group suggested that they are more prone to develop CLBP. To formulate proper rehabilitation protocol for middle aged CLBP patients, LSA variations and related factors can be kept in mind.

Histopathological Analysis of Neoplastic and Non Neoplastic Lesions of Salivary Gland – A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: K.M Sheela , V.S. Priya , Rajan Lali K. , Krishnan Ashida M.
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND Salivary gland lesions constitute less than 1 % of tumours and about 4 % of all epithelial neoplasms of head and neck region. These comprise of a wide variety of benign, malignant and non-neoplastic lesions which exhibits a difference in histological behaviour. There are no reliable criteria to differentiate on clinical grounds the benign from malignant ones. So morphological evaluation is necessary. We aim to study the frequency of various salivary gland lesions in sialoadenectomy specimens and categorise them into neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions. METHODS It is a record based retrospective 5-year study carried out in the Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, from January 2014 to December 2018. RESULTS In this study a total of 329 histopathologically proven cases of salivary gland lesions were included. Neoplastic lesions and non-neoplastic lesions constituted 78.42 % and 21.58 % respectively. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common neoplasm (50.54 %) trailed by Warthin’s tumour (9.73 %). Most common malignant neoplasm encountered in our study was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (9.73 %) among which low grade tumours showed predominance. We observed significantly higher incidence of benign and malignant lesions in the 5 th to 6th decade while non neoplastic lesions were seen more in the 4th to 5th decade. Average age of the patients with salivary gland tumours was 46.12  SD 15.57. Majority of cases of salivary gland lesions in our study were from parotid gland (75.68 %) followed by submandibular gland 24.01 %. CONCLUSIONS Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumour in our study and mucoepidermoid carcinoma the most common malignant tumour. Neoplastic lesions showed a predominance over non neoplastic lesions. Histopathological examination is the mainstay for diagnosis and clinical management.

Evaluation of p63 Immunohistochemical Stain as First Line Marker in Differentiating Urothelial Carcinomas from Adenocarcinomas of Prostate
Authors: Agarwal Sonia , Tiwari Atul , Yadav Mohan Lal
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND Differentiating prostate carcinoma (PCa) arising in the neck of urinary bladder from high grade urothelial cancer (UCa) with prostatic extension can be a difficult task for histopathologist due to similar morphologic characteristics and overlapping clinical manifestations in the two diseases. These two tumours often occur in association with one another but have different potential therapeutic strategies and prognostic implications. We have investigated p63 immunohistochemical (IHC) marker as simple first line marker adjuvant to histopathological examination. METHODS In this prospective study, total 50 cases including 25 cases of urothelial carcinoma and 25 cases of prostatic carcinoma were taken. Tumour grade was determined according to standard H&E staining and scoring system. p63 expressions were determined by immunohistochemical staining of all the cases. The obtained results were analysed and evaluated using chi-square statistical test to determine whether p63 IHC can be used as simple first line marker tool with a high sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS p63 was not expressed in any of the 25 cases of prostatic carcinoma cases while in urothelial carcinoma it was expressed in 23 of 25 (92 %) cases. p63 IHC staining expression is positive in all histological grades of urothelial carcinomas. 2 out of 25 cases of urothelial carcinomas were negative for p63 IHC expression. None of the prostatic adenocarcinomas expressed p63 staining. Sensitivity of p63 stain in differentiating UCa with PCa was 92 % in our study, specificity of p63 stain in differentiating UCa with PCa was found to be 100 %. CONCLUSIONS p63 can be used as a screening first line IHC marker to distinguish urothelial carcinomas from prostatic adenocarcinomas. For challenging and unresolved cases both of these have limited sensitivity; thus, authors recommend two lineagespecific markers one each for UCa (GATA3, S100P) and PCa (NKX3.1, P501S, PSMA) should be used for definitive diagnosis.

Descriptive Study for Detection of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae by the Modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Western Maharashtra
Authors: Giri Suraj , Sen Sourav , Lall Mahima
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND In an infection caused by multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenems is one the last antibiotics used, but the carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae pose a clinical challenge. A relatively new test which was described few years back known as modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) is used to detect the presence of carbapenemase activity in Gramnegative bacilli. Various studies show this test be to be very sensitive and specific. We aim to study mCIM positivity on samples which are positive by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion antibiotic sensitivity test method used for detection of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) from clinical specimens. METHODS The study is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Samples received from February 2019 to September 2019 were included in the study. During this period 150 samples were collected which were resistant to meropenem by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. These CREs isolates were further subjected to mCIM and the result was analysed. RESULTS Out of the total 150 CRE isolates which were 100 % resistant to meropenem by the conventional disc diffusion method it is found that mCIM was positive for 148 (98.66 %) isolates and negative for only 02 (1.33 %). Two most common CRE were Klebsiella pneumonia (58 %) and Escherichia coli (32 %). In statistical analysis chi square test revealed statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in percentage of positivity between the two methods (98.66 % vs 100 %). CONCLUSIONS mCIM is highly sensitive and specific method; however, in practice it showed no added advantage over Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method in detecting CRE.

As teorias conspiratórias nos Estados Unidos: do Citzens Councils e da JBS a Donald Trump
Authors: Souza Marco Aurélio Dias de , Finguerut Ariel
Published: February 2021

Este artigo discute duas organizações políticas dos EUA da década de 1950/1960, o Citizens Councils (CCs) e a The John Birch Society (JBS). Nossa proposta é entender como a retórica "populista" / "americanista" historicamente se disseminou e se propagou chegando ao presente com Donald Trump, entendendo-o como um fenômeno contemporâneo cujo governo - no primeiro mandato - apoia de forma velada e com retórica confusa, as vezes apoiando supremacistas raciais, defendendo ideias nostálgicas e propagando cotidianamente teorias conspiratórias. Para além da retorica, Trump adota teses populistas propõe leis mais rígidas anti-imigração, políticas anti-refugiados e restrições aos requerentes de asilo, além de propõe acelerar a construção do muro na fronteira mexicana.
“A hora da educação sexual”: práticas educativas do sexo, da saúde e das doenças em conselhos impressos (Paraíba, década de 1930)
Authors: Soares Júnior Azemar Dos Santos , Araújo Rafael Nóbrega
Published: February 2021

Resumo: O presente artigo analisa os discursos médico-pedagógicos publicados na imprensa paraibana pelo Círculo Brasileiro de Educação Sexual (CBES), escritos pelo médico, autoproclamado sexólogo, José de Albuquerque sobre educação sexual ao longo da década de 1930. Em tais publicações encontravam-se informações e conselhos a respeito da questão sexual e da sexualidade voltados para a divulgação das ideias sobre educação sexual e sexologia fomentadas pelo referido médico com vistas a educar o público leitor das referidas publicações. Compreendemos que tais discursos se configuravam como práticas educativas a partir do momento que visavam incutir nos leitores daqueles jornais hábitos e pensamentos higiênicos pautados pelo saber médico a respeito do sexo e da sexualidade. A documentação produzida pelo CBES e publicada em jornais paraibanos, continha orientações para pais e professores a respeito de como tratar da educação sexual com crianças e jovens à luz dos problemas fisiológicos relacionados a sexualidade, bem como das doenças venéreas. Encontramos publicações feitas pelo CBES em dois periódicos paraibanos da época, a saber, o diário A União, de João Pessoa e o semanário Estado Novo, de Cajazeiras, ambos alinhados politicamente com os governos à nível estadual e federal. Partimos do pressuposto de que tais impressos concordavam com as ideias do dr. José de Albuquerque, contribuindo para a divulgação da sexologia em terras paraibanas. Metodologicamente, nos valemos das proposições de Michel Foucault (2012; 2015) sobre o conceito de biopolítica e a respeito da análise do discurso, para realizar nossas leituras e produzir interpretações, em um jogo de troca de sentidos entre o historiador e as suas fontes.

Published: February 2021

O artigo busca pensar o ensino de História a partir de uma proposta interdisciplinar. Para tanto, as fontes literárias são consideradas importantes documentos a serem trabalhados pelo professor, já que contribuem para uma análise histórica sobre diferentes sociedades, seus costumes e sua cultura, o que pressupõe o conhecimento pelo professor das questões que envolvem a linguagem literária. Assim sendo, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é discutir a interdisciplinaridade no ensino de História, a partir do aporte da História e da Literatura. Com o intuito refletir sobre: a) literatura como fonte histórica; b) a problemática da História e da Literatura como formas de representar o passado; c) a itnterdisciplinaridade entre História e Literatura no campo do ensino, por essa razão desenvolvemos a pesquisa por meio de um estudo de revisão da literatura. Concluímos que a Literatura é uma forma de representação social e histórica, nesse sentido, o ensino de História por meio da utilização de fontes literárias poderá levar os alunos a refletirem sobre as experiências humanas, tais como: os hábitos, as atitudes, os sentimentos, as ideologias, as práticas e as inquietações que circulam em cada momento histórico e em diversas sociedades

O câncer de mama nas páginas dos Anais Brasileiros de Ginecologia
Authors: Lana Vanessa , Teixeira Luiz Antonio Da Silva
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo analisa o percurso do pensamento médico na configuração do câncer de mama como doença e a organização de conhecimentos e práticas de ação sobre a mesma no Brasil em meados do século XX, tendo como fonte os Anais Brasileiros de Ginecologia. O recorte temporal da análise corresponde ao início das discussões e ações em relação aos cânceres ginecológicos, na década de 1930, e a introdução do mamógrafo como instrumento de diagnóstico do câncer de mama no país, nos anos 1970, que impactou diretamente as práticas de controle da doença. O argumento principal é que a visão do campo médico expressa no periódico se apresenta de duas formas bastante diferenciadas, relacionadas ao processo de ampliação dos conhecimentos sobre os mecanismos da doença. Num primeiro momento, observa-se indefinições e busca de explicações e configurações sobre a doença em si. No segundo, como resultado de uma melhor identificação das formas de diagnóstico e possibilidades de intervenção e tratamento, busca-se a organização de ações de controle. Ao tomar os Anais Brasileiros de Ginecologia como principal fonte na construção desse trabalho, destacamos o papel que publicações especializadas têm na configuração de pensamentos e práticas, moldando saberes, agendas e perfis profissionais. Sendo a principal revista em ginecologia no período, os discursos ali trabalhados caminhavam no sentido de consolidação da própria ginecologia como especialidade médica.

Degenerescência humana em função da raça e a fala pública de Juliano Moreira
Authors: Pereira Ivo Isnara , Viana de Freitas Evandra
Published: February 2021

Analisa-se a Fala Pública do médico baiano - o pardo Juliano Moreira - e a contribuição do seu pensamento e ações para o movimento científico, político e social do final do século XIX até o início dos anos 30 do século XX. O discurso acerca da degeneração humana em função da raça, baseado principalmente em interesses socioeconômicos e culturais, e a emergência de seu contradiscurso, tendo como fundamento a busca do cientificismo biológico na medicina brasileira, são os contextos que conformam a sua atuação em embates contra as teorias deterministas que concebiam os negros africanos como elementos danosos à composição biológica do gênero humano. Em defesa da mestiçagem do povo brasileiro, Juliano Moreira filiou-se ao discurso médico que questionava o racialismo vigente e, com base em experimentos científicos, comprovou que a degeneração humana teria origens noutras causas e não na mistura entre as raças

Como podemos construir, no mundo contemporâneo, a prática e a sobrevivência de artistas no mundo do trabalho? Como se profissionalizar e “viver da arte”? Quais os caminhos para uma produção artística que não se dê modo precário, em contextos de escassez, mas justamente o contrário, fazer arte em condições de abundância (econômica, democrática, estética, política, ética...)? O presente artigo buscar refletir sobre estas questões. E, mais do que tentar respondê-las de forma precisa e definitiva, busca-se neste trabalho manter estas indagações em movimento, abrindo novas possibilidades de análise e apropriação do tema. Pois é preciso, mais do que nunca, que as apropriações, conexões, relações e atravessamentos se multipliquem.

O poder do povo no Federalista: virtude e vontade na República Federativa dos Estados Unidos da América de acordo com Hamilton, Madison e Jay
Authors: Mariano Pires Felipe Augusto
Published: February 2021

Com este trabalho, buscamos verificar o quanto de poder o povo possui na forma de governo defendida no Federalista em relação ao direcionamento do governo para os seus fins. Para isso, buscamos entender o papel dos conceitos de virtude e vontade na referida forma de governo e a relação de tais conceitos com o poder. Utilizamos como pano de fundo as ideias de Locke, Montesquieu e Rousseau sobre representação. Concluímos que o Federalista se contrapõe a Rousseau e segue Montesquieu, trazendo de volta a virtude como elemento principal de condução do governo aos seus fins, separando o povo dos governantes, que formariam agora uma classe profissional, e fazendo a substituição do cidadão para o homem ligado ao comércio e à vida privada.  
Features of patients with premature ventricular complex ablation: single center case series
Authors: TUTUNCU Ahmet , YILMAZ Erhan
Published: February 2021

Objectives: In patients who do not respond to medical treatment with idiopathic premature ventricular complex (PVC), catheter ablation is performed using the electroanatomic mapping (3D EAM) system for ablation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute and long-term success of patients and the procedural features and complication results associated with PVC localization in patients who underwent catheter ablation in our center.
Methods: Two hundred seventeen patients who underwent activation mapping and ablation using 3D EAM for PVC were included in the study. Patients were followed up for acute procedure success, periprocedural complications, and six-month long-term recurrence. In addition, these parameters, PVC’s were evaluated in three groups as right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), coronary cusp and rare localized origin, and clinical outcomes and interventional variables related to the success of the PVC’s location were compared.
Results: In our study, the mean age of the patients was 43 ± 12.1 years and the female gender ratio was 37.8%. When catheter ablated PVC foci were evaluated, it is seen that 81 (37.3%) were from RVOT and 56 (25.8%) were from coronary cusp. In addition, 6 (2.8%) were aortomitral continuity, 22 (10.1%) were left ventricular summit/epicardial, 17 (7.8%) were parahisian, and total 80 (36.8%) were rare localized PVCs. Acute procedure success was 92.6% and long-term procedure success was 83% in all cases. When the patients in our study were analyzed according to their PVC locations and procedure successes, those with rare localization compared to those with RVOT and coronary cusp origin were 66 (87.5%), 79 (96.3%), and 53 (94.6%); respectively (p = 0.03) and long-term successes were 58 (72.5%), 73 (90.1%), and 49 (87.5%); respectively (p < 0.05). Long-term transaction success was lower.
Conclusions: Frequent PVCs can be treated with electroanatomic mapping and radiofrequency ablation with high success rate and low complication rate. Patients with RVOT and coronary cusp-derived PVC had a high acute and long-term success rate, while success rates were lower in rare localized PVCs from epicardial/summit, papillary muscle, parahisian and tricuspid-mitral anulus.
Funkcjonariusze celni w strukturze Krajowej Administracji Skarbowej – uwagi wybrane
Authors: Nowak Ireneusz
Published: February 2021

Artykuł w głównej mierze poświęcony jest problematyce tzw. ucywilnień funkcjonariuszy celnych, czyli przekształceń ich stosunków służbowych w stosunki pracy w ramach konsolidacji administracji podatkowej, skarbowej i celnej w Krajową Administrację Skarbową. Autor wykazał, że reforma administracji danin publicznych – bez wątpienia konieczna po blisko trzydziestu latach status quo – doprowadziła jednak do kilkutysięcznej redukcji w zatrudnieniu funkcjonariuszy celnych poprzez wygaszenie stosunków służbowych lub przekształcenie ich w stosunki pracy. Wskazuje ponadto, że w wyniku świadomego działania prawodawcy doszło do uchwalenia „niegodziwego prawa”, będącego naruszeniem zasady zaufania do państwa i stanowionego przez nie prawa.
«Desde el sagrado púlpito y en exhortaciones privadas»: la circulación de información durante la guerra de Independencia peruana
Authors: Huerta Vera María Claudia
Published: February 2021

Este ensayo analiza la manera en que la información circulaba y se difundía durante la guerra de Independencia peruana, específicamente entre 1820 y 1824. Para estudiar el verdadero alcance del material impreso que tanto el bando realista como el patriota se esforzaron en publicar y difundir, es indispensable analizar tanto las formas en que los papeles impresos pasaban de una mano a otra como la manera en que la información contenida en ellos se difundía de forma oral entre la población. El carácter propagandístico de la imprenta durante la guerra es innegable y esperable. Lo que es más interesante es que además de las autoridades militares de cada bando interesadas en que la palabra impresa llegara a todo el territorio peruano, se encontraban los sacerdotes como agentes esenciales para la difusión de esta propaganda. Los miembros del clero tenían una plataforma fija dispuesta a recibir sus mensajes y, además, contaban con la autoridad espiritual que su cargo les otorgaba. Así, su voz fue fundamental para difundir la palabra impresa en una sociedad en donde todavía primaba la oralidad.
A values-laden history: Jeffrey Klaiber S. J. y la historiografía sobre los jesuitas en Latinoamérica
Authors: Fulkerson S. J. Taylor
Published: February 2021

Como historiador de los jesuitas en Latinoamérica, Jeffrey Klaiber S. J. ha contribuido al estudio de las misiones y la restauración de los jesuitas en América, y también ha desarrollado una visión histórica distinta de otras corrientes historiográficas. Su énfasis en ciertos valores —la modernidad, la inculturación y la continuidad en el modo de proceder de la Compañía de Jesús— tiene raíces en su propio ser jesuita. Al vincular esa visión con el desarrollo de los estudios jesuíticos, y siguiendo a John O’Malley S. J., este ensayo busca interpretar lo que distingue el aporte de Klaiber.

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde sosyal onay ihtiyacının sigara bağımlılığı üzerine etkisini derinlemesine araştırmak amacıyla yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma Erciyes Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören 227 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi ve Sosyal Onay İhtiyacı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde bağımsız örneklem t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve Pearson Korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın temel amacına yönelik olarak ise yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kurulmuştur. Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık puanlarının erkeklerde, baskıcı otoriter aileye sahip olanlarda, günde içilen sigara sayısı fazla olanlarda ve bireysel aylık harcaması 1000 tl üzeri olanlarda yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sosyal onay ihtiyacı toplam puanlarının da erkeklerde ve ailesinin yanında eğitimine devam edenlerde yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ailesinin yanında eğitimine devam edenlerde sosyal onay ihtiyacının alt ölçeklerinden başkalarının yargılarına duyarlılık ve sosyal geri çekilme puanlarının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Sosyal onay ihtiyacı ve nikotin bağımlılığı arasındaki korelasyonu gösteren path katsayısı -0,09 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bununla birlikte sosyal onay ihtiyacı ve alt ölçekleri ile Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı görülmüştür. Bireysel sigara içme davranışı ve toplumsal etkileşimlerin ortaya çıkarılması için, sosyal onay, sosyal norm ve sosyal uyum gibi faktörlerle ilgili çalışmaların artırılması önerilebilir.

Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition where the renal function decrease, marked by the GFR value < 15/ml/minute/1,73 m2 with or without kidney damage history for 3 months or more that needs kidney replacement therapy, including hemodialysis. In Indonesia, hemodialysis was chosen for 82% from all the cases that needs kidney replacement therapy. However, the cost for hemodialysis therapy is considered as too expensive and burdens The National Health Insurance, Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS), allowing the reuse of hemodialyzer as an alternative for cost-effectiveness. Re-use hemodialyzer is a term for using the same hemodialyzer for the same patient but on different therapy session. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the difference of Potassium level in stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients whose using new and re-use hemodialyzer in RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. This research used quasi experimental design by using blood sample that will be measured for the potassium level after using new hemodialyzer and re-use hemodialyzer for the 4th time in Hemodialysis Installation of RSD dr. Soebandi Jember on December 2018. Total sample of 19 patients chosen using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Collected data were analyzed using paired t-test. The result of statistical test shows that there is no significance potassium level difference in stage 5 chronic kidney disease whose using new and re-use hemodialyzer for the 4th time (p=0,094).

The Debate about Collective Goods in the Context of Contemporary Issues of Global Governance
Authors: Lebedev S. , Kazantsev A. , Fljyan L. , Medvedeva S.
Published: February 2021

This article is dedicated to three interconnected concepts – “collective goods”, “free rider” and “hegemony” in the context of modern politics. We analyze three theoretical approaches to the problem of provision of collective goods by hegemonic states. These approaches are: neoliberal, (neo) realist and World-System Theory. Basing on these theoretical premises, we analyze the debate about free-ridng in the Western political discourse (especially among US allies) and we point out that particular interests of US can be disguised as “collective goods”. Basing on this, we analyze discussions about free-riding both in the Western world (among NATO and EU members) and among US allies in the Pacific region (Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand). We point out that in fact US can use the concept of collective goods to push their own agenda. Than we move to popular in western political science idea that China is a global free rider – for instance in the sphere of sea lane security and global energy security. Basing on A. Kennedy works, we demonstrate that China in fact does not wish to make western powers pay the costs of collective goods. China is rather afraid that western powers will exploit his resources. This idea is supported with the evidence, gathered during in-depth interview with Chinese diplomats and foreign policy experts. Having said that, paper points out that mentioned cases mark the importance of the concept of trust. Trust is well-studied in the field of behavioral economics, but IR theory doesn`t usually takes the concept of trust into account. Also this paper raises a question about including historical and cultural topics in the theory of international relations. Basing on analysis of different ways to incorporate economic arguments in IR theory, authors point out that modern IR theory lacks economic argumentation. Paper concludes with the idea that IR theory should capitalize on behavioral economics. Acknowledgements. This paper is a part of MGIMO University research program no. 1921-01-02.
The PRC’s Approach Towards the South China Sea Territorial Dispute and Russia’s Foreign Policy
Authors: Dikarev A. , Lukin A.
Published: February 2021

Territorial dispute in the South China Sea (SCS) which involves China and several ASEAN member-states has recently become one of the major threats to international security in Southeast Asia leading to continuous political tensions in the region. It may result not only in a split within ASEAN but also in drawing the non-regional powers into conflict. U.S.A. as the most important of such powers tries to use the existing tensions for strengthening its influence in the region and its stance in confrontation with China. While Moscow has recently made efforts to intensify its presence in Asia, it still does not see the South China Sea region as a foreign policy priority. Generally, it sticks to neutrality on the issue of sovereignty over the disputed islands. At the same time, Russia’s approach to the SCS problem can be characterised by a limited shift towards strengthening support of Beijing’s position. Acting this way Russia wishes to support a strategic partner in order to win its stronger cooperation on other vital issues, such as the problem of Crimea or the US sanctions. This rapprochement should be understood against the background of general international situation characterised by the growing Sino-US confrontation, worsening of relations between Russia and the West, as well as some tendencies in the Asia-Pacific such as the emergence of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue and the introduction of the concept of the “Indo-Pacific” by Washington and its allies which are seen in both Moscow and Beijing as hostile. Despite the numerous political difficulties and legal problems concerning the SCS, the mutual understanding between Russia and China during the last two decades has been strengthening while both countries were confronted by similar threats and challenges. This naturally pushes the positions of Russia and China closer to each other. Acknowledgements. This article was funded by MGIMO-University, project number 1921-01-02.
FEAR OF PANDEMICS OR FEAR OF TOURISM: THE CHALLENGES FOR HUMAN MOBILITY

Published: February 2021

The spread of the novel coronavirus, 'SARS-Cov-2', causing the disease 'COVID-19' has resulted in almost one hundred million cases and two million deaths (World Health Organization 2020). While early research suggested that the virus was not as contagious as SARS and MERS, the rapid increase in human to human transmission showed that the virus was in fact more contagious (Chan et al. 2020; Huang et al. 2020; Wang et al. 2020). On January 23, China announced lockdown in Wuhan to limit people’s movement both within and outside Wuhan (Surveillances 2020). This was the starting point to travel and transport restrictions, which were progressively implemented worldwide, following the virus’ expansion (Hamzelou 2020). In the past few months, research has commenced as part of academics’ rapid response to analyse the impacts and anticipate the consequences of the pandemics for tourism and hospitality (see, for example, Gössling, Scott, and Hall 2020). This paper adds texture to this conversation and critically discusses pandemics’ implications for the hospitality and tourism industries concerning the transport sector.
