Spanish Sport and the Challenges of Its Recent Historiography
Authors: McFarland Andrew
Published: December 2022

This article strives to bring together the diverse strands of literature on the role and development of sport in Spain to provide a resource for future scholars. The first section briefly surveys the history of Spanish sport over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including bullfighting because of its symbolic importance. The middle section focuses on the historiography of sport and especially bullfighting, football, and the Olympics. The largest amount of work has considered the role of sport in Francoism, national and regional identities, gender roles, and the media. Finally, the article concludes by noting that the field suffers from a lack of cohesion among its scholars and too much focus on football, Madrid, and Barcelona; it also needs to ground itself more effectively in the larger historical narrative. Though weaknesses now, these also provide clear directions for future contributions.
The Contribution of Sport to the Nordic Third Way
Authors: Nielsen Niels Kayser , Bale John
Published: December 2022

It is widely thought that the Nordic nations of Europe possess a strong degree of homogeneity. This conception applies to sport as much as other cultural fields, but the role played by sport and physical education in the development of the distinctive political culture and cultural politics of the Nordic countries has been strangely and largely overlooked. Precisely because sport—in principle if not in practice—is based on the possibility of being the best on equal terms, it has been tied to the balancing of freedom and equality that seems to be so typically Nordic that one can speak of a particular Nordic way. Traditionally this trait has centered on the concept of “Folk.” The idea that both mind and body should be qualified and developed contributed decisively to the modernization and characterization of Nordic societies.
Polish Sport and the Challenges of Its Recent Historiography
Authors: Lenz Britta
Published: December 2022

The development of sport in Poland has been shaped by historical circumstances and the particular conditions they created: the period of the partitions, the process of integration after regaining independence, the destruction of the Second World War, and the subsequent Communist rule. Sport took on special meanings, and sports historiography, too, served to maintain national sentiments or ideological hegemony. Since 1989 research on sports history has entered a process of transformation characterized by new approaches, a free choice of subjects, access to new sources, and a more open academic exchange. Still, there are many blind spots in the social and cultural history of sport in Poland. Polish sports history has great potential to illuminate our understanding of inclusion, exclusion, and identity formation. It would be fruitful to leave the national focus aside, this article concludes, and to engage in comparative and transnational approaches within a Central (East) European framework.
Hampshire and the Olympic Games: A Local History of a Global Event
Authors: Polley Martin
Published: December 2022

In 2012, London will become the first city to host the summer Olympic games for a third time. However, not all of the events will be confined to London: geographical necessities will shift the sailing and rowing events away from the capital, and political expedience will take the football to Cardiff, Coventry, Glasgow, Manchester, and Newcastle. In such a context, it is instructive to look at the 1908 and the 1948 Olympic games to see how far they were spread out away from their respective hubs of Shepherd’s Bush and Wembley. In both cases, a number of events were held outside the capital, and Hampshire played host to some of them, including the sailing in 1908 and the modern pentathlon in 1948. This paper explores these events, looking at the geographical and socioeconomic reasons why the Olympic games came to Hampshire, the levels of local interest that these events inspired, and their legacy. The paper advocates further local explorations of the Olympic games and outlines the benefits of shifting attention on the Olympic games from the center to the peripheries.
Representations of Falconry in Eastern Han China (A.D. 25-220)
Authors: Wallace Leslie V.
Published: December 2022

Falconry has been practiced in China for nearly two thousand years, but its early history is obscured by a lack of visual, textual, and archaeological materials. Falconry first appears in visual and textual records dating to the Eastern Han dynasty (A.D. 25-220). Although the standard histories offer few details about the practice of falconry at this time, a growing number of excavated tomb reliefs provide information regarding the possible genesis of the sport. I first discovered this imagery when looking for representations of activities associated with foreigners in hunting scenes depicted in Eastern Han tombs from Shaanxi and Shanxi. In scenes of the hunt from this region, mounted falconers are depicted alongside mounted archers, figures that are connected in Han visual and textual sources with Northern nomadic pastoralists. This imagery immediately prompted a number of questions: when the practice began, who practiced falconry, and whether or not it was associated with foreigners at this time. This article is an outgrowth of research based on these initial questions. Focusing on Eastern Han depictions of falconry, I first examine where and how falconry was practiced in ancient China and what types of birds were used. I will then argue that the sport was originally learned by the Chinese from nomadic pastoralists living to the north of Han China. Finally, I will examine Han attitudes towards the sport, suggesting that although it may have originally been associated with nomadic pastoralists, in Eastern Han texts, falconry was connected with activities characteristic of a misspent youth.
A Hatchet in “Lily-White Hands”: The Intricacies of Femininity at Private Girls’ Camps in Early Twentieth-Century Ontario
Authors: Warner Anne
Published: December 2022

This article examines the social construction of upper-class white femininity at private Ontario girls’ camps in the 1920s and 1930s with specific focus on physical activity. Historically, prevailing social conceptions of what it means to be female has defined acceptable physical activity participation by girls. The daily life and activities at girls’ camps elucidates details of how girls’ camp both challenged and embraced early twentieth-century femininity. In these mostly female environments, although girls had the freedom to experiment with behaviors and activities outside the norm in the city, female camp directors held fast to some traditional ideals of femininity. Thus, the establishment of girls’ camps was both progressive and, at the same time, accommodated agreed-upon ideas about femininity. Using four of the oldest girls’ private camps in Ontario, this paper examines the intricacies of femininity during the early twentieth century.
“Seeing What Frames Our Seeing”: Seeking Histories on Early Black Female Boxers
Authors: van Ingen Cathy
Published: December 2022

Grounded in a deconstructionist approach, this article identifies ideological elements in historical work on women’s boxing, including my own. First, I examine the sources, practices, and evidence that have constituted historical facts on women’s boxing. Then, employing some of the tactics of a deconstructive historian, I examine and critique the erasure of black female combatants from boxing history through an examination of various written sources about pugilism. To rectify this longstanding silence and exclusion, I provide a brief account of some black female boxers from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. This paper draws from mainstream and African-American newspapers, U.S. boxing periodicals, and a sample of scholarly and popular literature on the history of boxing.
Eastern Europe’s Unwanted: Exiled Athletes and the Olympic Games, 1948-1964
Authors: Rider Toby C.
Published: December 2022

During the post Second World War years, a number of athletes defected from the newly established Communist regimes of Eastern Europe. Many of these exiled athletes wanted to compete in the Olympic games, but the rules of the Olympic Charter stipulated that they could not. As such, this study examines how the International Olympic Committee negotiated the persistent efforts of exiles to change the organization’s eligibility rules. This campaign eventually achieved some success in 1964, when the International Olympic Committee enacted changes to its Charter that allowed individuals to compete at the games for a second country of citizenship after a period of naturalization. Crucially, this issue also casts further light on the complicated role of sport in the Soviet bloc and the challenges it posed for the Olympic Movement.
Racing with Death: The Not-So-Ordinary Happenings of the 1932 Lake Placid Olympic Bobsled Events
Authors: Hopsicker Peter M.
Published: December 2022

During the practice sessions for the 1932 Olympic bobsled events, Lake Placid’s Mt. Van Hoevenberg slide endured multiple crashes involving over a dozen athletes. An analysis of the slide from inception to construction to competition as well as the resulting management of the accidents produces significant historical insight into the administration of the winter Olympic games. Using David Welky’s paradigm suggesting that the analyses of ordinary Olympic happenings can be used to probe larger issues, this analysis uses the “seemingly mundane” happenings of facility construction and competition to provide historical insight into an attempt to use the Olympics as a promotional springboard to a host city’s future commercial success. As the first sliding facility built in North America dedicated to both an Olympic games and for future commercial programming, this analysis also provides significant historical insight into modern Olympic issues including the fiduciary conundrum of building Olympic facilities with potentially limited post-Olympic commercial possibilities, the sometimes contentious nature of a host city’s environmental stewardship and the final location of those facilities as it pertains to the facilities’ future commercial success, and the nationalistic-laden gamesmanship that often plays out on these facilities during the administration of practice sessions and Olympic competition that can result in decision-making that potentially jeopardizes the safety of the athlete.
Flying, Flirting, and Flexing: Charmion’s Trapeze Act, Sexuality, and Physical Culture at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Gils Bieke
Published: December 2022

On December 25, 1897, Laverie Vallée, better known by her stage name Charmion, made her debut in Koster and Bial’s vaudeville theater in New York City with a provocative undressing act on the trapeze and demonstrations of her upper-body muscularity. Though part of a wave of female aerialists at the turn of the twentieth century whose performances quite literally “flew” in the face of Victorian values, Charmion was among the first to take advantage of the developing photography, cinema, and print industries to promote her act and was one of Thomas Edison’s first female silent movie subjects. The carnivalesque atmosphere generally associated with vaudeville performers made provocative acts like Charmion’s not only permissible but also very popular. Her performances certainly embodied both desires and fears of a society that was forced to revisit Victorian ideals about women’s sexuality, physical prowess, and the female body more generally.
“The Sunday Flag Is Up!” Western Arctic Aboriginal Cultures and the Sports of the Fur Traders
Authors: Heine Michael
Published: December 2022

This paper examines processes of cultural contact and change in the Canadian western Arctic resulting from the dual impacts of the fur trade and of missionary activities between 1850 and 1940. The traditional games and dances of the Teetł’it Gwich’in, a regional band within the larger Aboriginal group of Athapaskan cultures, and the dances and sports of the fur traders, assumed an important role in the mediation of intercultural tensions arising from the realignment of pre-existing interregional Aboriginal relationships. These tensions had the potential to escalate into open conflict during the great fur trade meetings of early summer, when members of different Aboriginal groups gathered at the trading posts. Here, Gwich’in traditional games were for the first time brought within the range of organizational and expressive effects of modern sports, then in their incipient form. The traditional games remained an important element of the trade gatherings well into the twentieth century, when intensifying processes of cultural transformation, accelerated by the decline of the fur trade economy, led to an increasing dominance of modern sports among recreational physical activity practices in the western Arctic.
“Personality and Color into Everything He Does”: Henry Rose (1899-1958)—Journalist, Celebrity, and the Forgotten Man of the Munich Disaster
Authors: Dee David
Published: December 2022

This article analyzes the life, career, and death of British-Jewish sports journalist Henry Rose (1899-1958), killed in the Munich air disaster of 1958 alongside Manchester United football club officials, players, and several other passengers. Rose may well be the “forgotten” man of the disaster, yet his story illuminates a great deal about contemporary British sport, society, and culture. He was a celebrity of his time, primarily due to his being at the vanguard of a revolution in British sports reporting that saw a more sensationalist and opinionated style successfully imported from the United States into the British press. His achievements were all the more remarkable considering significant levels of anti-Semitism that existed in British society at that time. Rose’s death in 1958 and subsequent disappearance from popular memory, which contrasts starkly with the manner in which Munich has been more actively memorialized in other quarters, is also examined.
AAU v. NCAA: The Bitter Feud That Altered the Structure of American Amateur Sports
Authors: Chudacoff Howard P.
Published: December 2022

For more than half a century, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) feuded over which association would dominate American amateur sports. Their often bitter conflict involved track-and-field competition and became especially heated in the 1960s and 1970s when the success of American teams against Soviet teams in the Olympics and other international competitions became a matter of Cold War rivalry. Attempts to mediate the dispute involved the intervention of three US presidents, a vice president, an attorney general, a military hero, a famous labor lawyer, and Congress, all to no avail. Powerful, iron-willed men led the AAU and NCAA and stubbornly protected their organizations’ interests. Finally, in 1978, Congress passed the Amateur Sports Act that reconstituted the US Olympic Committee, relegating the AAU to a reduced role in elite sports and enabling the NCAA to enhance its power. This narrative reveals much about high-level American amateur sports during the Cold War.
Green Bond Issuance and Corporate’s Environmental Performance: Evidence from China
Authors: Chen Xia , Rahaman Md. Atikur
Published: December 2022

Through a comparative study of listed non-financial companies in China that issued green bonds and ordinary bonds between 2016 and 2021, it was found that the company's green development strategy is an important factor in promoting issuance of green bonds. In addition, public companies and companies with low asset-liability ratios tend to issue more green bonds. Based on the PSM-DID model, it was also found that the green bond can actually improve the environmental performance of the company after its issuance, thus confirming the important role of the company's green development strategy in the promoting the issuance of green bonds. Finally, policy recommendations are made to encourage the issuance of green bonds.

Published: December 2022

El objetivo de esta investigación fue estimar la reproducción, crecimiento y mortalidad de la sardina (Sardinella aurita) en el estado Nueva Esparta, Venezuela, a través de muestreos mensuales desde abril hasta diciembre de 2019. Se analizaron 3,679 ejemplares a los cuales se les registró longitud total (cm), peso total (g), sexo y madurez sexual. La proporción sexual de hembras a machos difirió significativamente de 1:1. Se observaron tres pulsos de desove (mayo, julio y noviembre). La longitud media de madurez sexual se estimó en 19.53 cm. La relación longitud-peso para ambos sexos fue: P = 5.1 x 10-3 * L3.15. Se utilizaron las rutinas del paquete FiSAT para estimar los parámetros de crecimiento de von Bertalanffy: L∞ = 23.30 cm, k = 0.71 año-1, P∞ = 103.18 g, t0 = - 0.12 años, en tanto que el índice de desempeño del crecimiento Ø' fue 2.59. Las tasas de mortalidad total (Z), natural (M) y por pesca (F) fueron calculados en 2.66, 1.09 y 1.57 año-1, respectivamente. La tasa de explotación actual (E = 0.59 año-1) indica que el recurso se encuentra sobre explotado, por consiguiente, se sugiere regular la pesquería, disminuyendo la mortalidad por pesca aplicando dos vedas al año o cuotas de pesca, y mantener la talla media de captura de 19 cm.

Notários e registradores: protagonistas de um novo sistema de acesso à justiça no Brasil
Authors: Dias Eduardo Rocha , Sales Lília Maia de Morais , Lessa da Silva Marcelo
Published: December 2022

O presente trabalho objetivou analisar o processo de desjudicialização de procedimentos de jurisdição voluntária em direção às serventias extrajudiciais como fase antecedente e preparatória a um novo sistema de acesso à justiça no Brasil, com participação ativa de notários e registradores na resolução dos conflitos como mediadores e conciliadores. Como foco principal, analisou-se, além do processo de transposição de competências exclusivas dos magistrados para os notários e registradores, o novo regime jurídico imposto à atividade notarial e registral pelo constituinte de 1988 que possibilitou essa inovação e o surgimento desse novo modelo jurisdicional proporcionado pelo Estado. Utilizou-se o método de pesquisa teórico-dogmática, dedutivo, com técnica de coleta e análise, documental e bibliográfica. Evidenciou-se que as serventias extrajudiciais foram utilizadas pelo legislador e pelo próprio judiciário, nas últimas três décadas, como locus de acesso à justiça, através do processo de desjudicialização, que transferiu para notários e registradores procedimentos antes exclusivos do poder judiciário, servindo como fase antecedente para o surgimento de um novo sistema de justiça no Brasil, para além das estruturas judiciais, com a codificação dos meios alternativos de resolução de conflitos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.
A Novel Interpretation of Bṛhaspatisūkta
Authors: Aital Vasudev
Published: December 2022

Vedas have been studied with great interest at all times, resulting in their multi-lingual translations across the globe. There have been attempts to understand the Vedic devatās with different perspectives. These devatās are mythically glorified in the later literature, especially in the Itihāsas and Purāṇas. Among the earlier attempts made by scholars, we find detailed accounts of deities like Indra, Agni and a few others, but seldom do we find the same of Bṛhaspati. This paper presents a detailed novel interpretation with a perspective in light of ādhyātmika understanding of the Bṛhaspatisūkta (10.68) of the Ṛgveda. Here the author tried to follow the path of interpretative tradition expounded by the ācāryas like Udgītha, Sāyaṇa etc. and also the later commentators.

Published: December 2022

In the present paper, we report the photometric and spectroscopic observations of the pulsating star BL Cam obtained by the 1.88 m telescope at the Kottamia astronomical observatory (KAO). Fourier analysis of the light curves indicates one frequency, 25.14427 c/d, with harmonics 51.112 c/d, 33.388 c/d, and 17.72464 c/d. The frequency of 31-32 c/d reported in the literature is not detected in our data except for one close to 33.3882934 c/d. A total of 55 new times of maximum light have been presented. A new value of (1/P) dP/dt is estimated using the O-C diagram based on all newly obtained times of maximum light combined with those taken from the literature, assuming the periods are decreasing and changing smoothly. Using model atmosphere analysis, we computed the effective temperature and surface gravity as Teff = 7625 ± 300 K and logg = 4.30 ± 0.37. The bolometric magnitude Mbol = 2.335, radius R = 1.69 R , luminosity L = 0.957 L, the mass M = 1.68M, and pulsation constant Q = 0.025 days. Locations of the star on the M-R and M-L diagrams indicate that it is close to the ZAMS track and is an unevolved star. В настоящей работе представлены фотометрические и спектроскопические наблюдения пульсирующей звезды BL Cam, полученные 1.88- метровым телескопом в астрономической обсерватории Коттамия (KAO). Фурье-анализ кривых блеска показывает частоту 25.14427 ц/сут, с гармониками 51.112 ц/сут, 33.388 ц/сут и 17.72464 ц/сут. Частота 31-32 ц/сут, о которой сообщается в литературе, не обнаружена в наших данных, за исключением частоты, близкой к 33.3882934 ц/сут. В общей сложности представлено 55 новых максимумов блеска. Новое значение (1/P) dP/dt оценивается с использованием диаграммы O-C, основанной на всех вновь полученных временах максимумов в сочетании с периодами, взятыми из литературы, предполагая, что периоды уменьшаются и изменяются плавно. Используя модельный анализ атмосферы, вычислены эффективная температура и ускорение силы тяжести Teff = 7625 ±300 K и logg = 4.30 , ± 0.37 dex. Болометрическая величина Mbol = 2.335, радиус R =1.69R  светимость L= 0.957 L , масса =1,68 M , константа пульсации Q = 0.025 сут. Расположение звезды на диаграммах M-R и M-L указывает на то, что она находится близко к ZAMS и является не эволюционированной звездой.
Пятенная активность молодой звезды HIP 94235 из движущейся группы AB Doradus
Authors: Саванов И. С.
Published: December 2022

На основе высокоточного материала из архива космической миссии TESS проведено исследование фотометрической переменности блеска HIP 94235 - яркой звезды, входящей в движущуюся группу AB Doradus с возрастом 120 млн лет. Мы получили оценку периода вращения звезды и амплитуды переменности блеска, а также по стандартной методике оценили величину параметра запятненности A в абсолютной мере, которая составляет 31750 м.д.п. и существенно превосходит площадь пятен на Солнце. За интервал наблюдений с космической миссией TESS проявления вспышечной активности у HIP 94235 отсутствовали. Для каждого сектора наблюдений, последовательно охватывающего один период вращения звезды, из решения обратной задачи восстановления температурных неоднородностей звезды по кривой блеска получены карты поверхностных температурных неоднородностей, определены положения активных областей и изучена их эволюция со временем.
Using high-precision data from archive of the TESS space mission a study of the photometric variability of the brightness of HIP 94235, a bright star belonging to the 120 million years old AB Doradus moving group was done. We estimated the rotation period of the star and the amplitude of the brightness variability, and also estimated the value of the spottedness parameter A in absolute measure which is 31750 MSH, and significantly exceeds the area of spots on the Sun. During the observation interval with the TESS space mission there were no manifestations of the flare activity on HIP 94235. For each set of observations sequentially covering one period of the star's rotation maps of surface temperature inhomogeneities were obtained from solving the inverse problem of restoring the temperature inhomogeneities of the star from the light curve.
Modular and Online Learning Satisfaction in Mathematics Amid COVID-19: Implications for New Normal Teaching Practices
Authors: Cabuquin Jomar C
Published: December 2022

During COVID-19, ensuring that students were fulfilled with the quality of learning they received posed issues, especially for students learning mathematics in a modular and online setup. The purpose of this study is to determine the modular and online learning satisfaction in mathematics of the student- respondents, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed to provide a snapshot of the two hundred forty-six (246) junior and senior high student- respondents’ modular and online learning satisfaction in mathematics, along with the measured parameters. Based on the results, the respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the implemented modular learning in mathematics during the pandemic. On the online learning aspect, the respondents expressed a moderate level of satisfaction with their online learning experience. Educational institutions must innovate and keep up with the new normal teaching practices to ensure that the quality of education is sustained over time. Recommendations were also provided to assist the entire academic community in understanding how students approach the mathematics subject in the modular and online learning contexts.
As the number of cesarean sections increases, does the combined use of oxytocin and methylergonovine during the procedure affect postpartum hemorrhage?
Authors: Dinc Kemal
Published: December 2022

In this study, we sought to demonstrate the benefit of postpartum hemorrhage prophylaxis treatment and the superiority of methylergonovine-oxytocin combination over oxytocin in terms of hemodynamic stability and amount of bleeding during cesarean section. In this retrospective study, 400 patients who had a cesarean section in the same clinic were divided into two groups and included in this study. The first group consisted of nulliparous patients (n=141) who gave birth by cesarean for the first time and the second group consisted of multipar patients (n=259) who gave birth by cesarean section before. Then both main groups; women who received only oxytocin infusion in the intraoperative and postoperative periods were divided into (monotherapy group), women who received methylergonovine and oxytocin therapy in the intraoperative and postoperative periods were divided into 2 more subgroups (combined group). For comparison, samples for preoperative and postoperative complete blood counts were obtained from all patients in each group. When the postoperative Hb levels of nulliparous pregnant women were compared, it was seen that the decrease in Hb levels was less in the group that received methylergonovine in addition to oxytocin (p=0.031). Similarly, Hb decrease was observed less in the group given methylergonovine in addition to oxytocin in multiparous pregnant women (p=0.045). The group that received methylergonovine in addition to oxytocin provided more hemodynamic stability in both the nulliparous and multiparous cesarean section groups, which we divided according to the number of cesarean sections, compared to the group that received oxytocin; significantly reduced the level of bleeding. We think that this form of treatment will also reduce the risk of uterine atony; therefore (if there is no coronary disease) we recommend it to be used under spinal anaesthesia.

Published: December 2022

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a benign disease associated with heterozygous inactivating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene. This article presents a girl with heterozygous p.Cys575Tyr variation in the CaSR gene. The serum calcium level of a 9.2-year-old girl was 12.4mg/dl in incidental laboratory analysis. On the same occasion, the serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was 45 pg/ml, 25(OH) vitamin D level 24.2ng/ml, 1.25 dihydroxy vitamin D level 22pg/ml, and urinary Ca/creatinine ratio <0.01. The ultrasonographic evaluation of the urinary system was unremarkable. The clinical and laboratory findings pointed towards FHD. A heterozygous p.Cys575Tyr (c.1724G>A) variation was detected in the patient's CaSR gene, which was reported before, but no clinical manifestations were specified. In children with asymptomatic hypercalcemia, the diagnosis of FHH should be considered if the PTH level is normal or high and the urinary calcium is low.
Assessment of reliability and quality of YouTube videos as an information source in Retinopathy of Prematurity treatment
Authors: Uzun Aslihan , Sahin Asena
Published: December 2022

To assess the reliability and quality of YouTube videos as an information source in Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) treatment. A YouTube search with the keyword “ROP treatment” was conducted. First 200 videos listed in the first 10 pages were evaluated. The upload sources, video length, days on YouTube, number of total views, likes, dislikes and comments were recorded. View ratio (VR), like ratio (LR) and video power index (VPI) were analyzed. Two ophthalmologists scored all videos using the DISCERN scoring system, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). Seventy-three videos were included in the study. The mean VR, LR, and VPI were 4.92±10.11, 83.88±33.98, and 4.55±9.25, respectively. The main upload sources were universities/non-profit professional organizations (36.99%) and physicians (31.51%). The 18 of the 55 videos on treatment procedures contained information on all treatment procedures, 37 videos contained information about at least one of treatment options. The mean DISCERN score, JAMA score and GQS were 42.32±17.51, 2.81±1.03, and 3.12±1.48, respectively. The category of all videos according to the mean DISCERN score was “fair”. The overall quality of YouTube videos on ROP treatment was intermediate. Although one third of videos were classified as good quality, most YouTube videos provided poor quality information. Competent authorities and experts should upload carefully recorded videos with reliable and quality content on YouTube to educate and increase the awareness of parents, especially in ROP requiring treatment.
Evaluation of cervical smear screening and colposcopy assessments at a tertiary obstetrics and gynecology center in the blacksea region of Turkey:
Retrospective chart-review of the last 5 years
Authors: Onal Mesut , Katirci Yunus , Kocaman Adem , Yildiz Caglanur
Published: December 2022

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide. Furthermore, it is the 9thmost common cancer in all ages and the 4thmost common in the 25-49 age group of women in Turkey. Given these significantly high figures, it is a significant public health problem. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of patients screened for Human papillomavirus (HPV) in a tertiary-care setting in Turkey. This is a retrospective chart review of patients admitted for clinical examinations and who underwent cervical cancer screening between 1 January 2017 and 1 March 2022. The data analyses included HPV positivity, genotype distribution, cytology analyses, colposcopy results, pathological diagnoses, and follow-up methods. A total of 529 cases were included, of whom 41.6% were HPV positive. The most frequent HPV types were HPV-16 (16.6%) and HPV-high risk (HR) (12.1%). Cytology analyses revealed atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) in 17.8% and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) in 12.7%. The most common pathological finding was cervicitis in 23.1% (n=122), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-1 in 9.3% (n=49), CIN-3 in 4% (n=21), and CIN-2 in 3.8% (n=20) of patients. HPV-59 (p=0.027) and HPV-HR (p=0.003) genotypes were determined in higher proportions in patients with ≥ASC-US cytology, and HPV-16 was significantly higher among patients with ≥CIN-1 lesions. The HPV positivity rate was 41.6% among women admitted to our tertiary-care university hospital for gynecological assessments. Distribution differences in HPV genotypes, cytology assessments, and pathological diagnoses might reflect the population characteristics in different geographical regions from previous studies. Our results provide current data for HPV surveillance in the Turkish population.

Emergency departments face a high density of patients as they address many patient groups. Cancer patients constitute a significant proportion of the population presenting to the emergency department for many reasons, including new symptoms, exacerbation of existing problems, treatment complications, and disease progression. This study can be helpful in determining treatment approach, planning, and service delivery. All cancer patients admitted to the emergency department between 1 January 2022 and 31 March 2022 were included in the study. Medical records were retrospectively analyzed from hospital records. A total of 90 patients were included in the study. Data were collected from the patient records by examining the reasons for admission, demographic and clinical data, diagnoses, and laboratory tests. The most common cancers were breast (43.3%), colon (20.0%), lung (12.2%). In the last 1 month, 73.3% of patients visited the emergency department 1 time, 24.4% 2 times, and 2.2% 3 times. The association between the number of visits to the emergency department in the last 1 month and the ECOG groups was statistically significant (p=0.020). Patients presented to the emergency department mainly with pain (66.7%) and nausea/vomiting (57.8%). The most common cancers in patients admitted to the emergency department in our study are similar to the literature. It has been reported in the literature that the symptoms detected in our study are potentially less severe, and emergency room visits can be reduced if patients are encouraged to self-manage similar symptoms through education. From this point of view, to reduce the number of cancer patients applying to the emergency service in regions of internal turmoil and conflict such as Syria, it is very important to identify the reasons for patient admission and to provide training emphasizing the self-management of their symptoms.

Post-entubation tracheal stenosis(PETS) is observed in patients who are hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to various etiological reasons and who are exposed to prolonged intubation during follow-up as a result of the pressure applied to the tracheal mucosa to cause necrosis or scarring in the trachea. In our study,we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the results of patients who underwent dilatation with rigid bronchoscopy and those whose conditions did not improve despite dilatation and underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction, and compare the with the literature. This study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the data of 20 patients who underwent surgical intervention due to PETS between 2019-2022.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the Cotton Myer PETS index of the data obtained as a result of measuring the diameter of the stenotic tracheal segment according to bronchoscopic and CT measurements. When the patients were classified according to the post-intubation tracheal stenosis classification described by Cotton Myer,it was seen that 7 patients were Grade 1.10 patients were Grade 2 and 3 patients were Grade 3.
Tracheal resection and reconstruction surgery is a difficult procedure and requires surgical experience due to the lack of experienced anesthesia team in every center.For this reason,we recommend sequential bronchoscopic dilatation in patients with comorbidity who are not suitable for tracheal resection and in grade 1 patients. However, we suggest that tracheal resection and reconstruction surgery should be performed after appropriate preoperative preparation in patients with grade 2 and 3 without comorbidity.

Physical Vapor Deposition technology is an established technique to deposit metallic and ceramic coatings on different metallic substrates. Lateral Arc Rotating Cathode (LARC) technology has an added advantages of better mechanical uniform coating, consistent erosion of the electrodes and greater degree of ionization. LARC technology was used to deposit AlTiN coating on stainless steel SS 316L samples. The electrochemical behavior of the coating and the substrate was investigated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique. Ringer Lectate solution was used as a simulated body fluid at 35 Â± 2oC. The coating and substrate were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Surface Profilometry. The Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy analysis revealed a consistent coating as a whole. The surface profilometry showed lower surface roughness after the coating. The Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy tests indicated that corrosion resistance of the coated sample was better, than the uncoated substrate in the electrolyte solution for short duration (one day) and behaved like cathodically protected coating and showed more resistivity. However, the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy results varied because of the penetration of chlorite ions through the porosity in th coating and reaction with the coating material after the prolonged insertion.

Published: December 2022

Anemia ibu hamil dapat berdampak pada angka kematian ibu (AKI) dan angka kematian Neonatal (AKN).AKI Indonesia sebanyak 305/100.000 kelahiran hidup.AKN Indonesia sebanyak  19/1000 kelahiran hidup, sedangkan angka kematian bayi adalah 23/1000 kelahiran hidup. AKI sebagai salah satu indicator penentu profil kesehatan suatu Negara, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi Indonesia tidak terlalu baik. Dampak anemia pada ibu hamil tidak hanya meningkatkan AKI dan AKB saja. Anemia pada ibu hamil dapat menyebabkan perdarahan pada masa kehamilan, perdarahan melahirkan dan perdarahan masa nifas. Efek anemia kehamilan pada bayi yang dilahirkan akan menyebabkan bayi lahir premature, berat badan bayi baru lahir rendah, menurunkan kemampuan bayi untuk bertahan hidup diluar kandungan dan menurunkan tingkat kecerdasan bayi di masa yang akan datang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengindentifikasi faktor risiko anemia untuk mencegah kualitas bayi yang dilahirkan tidak sesuai harapan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan restrospektif  kasus kontrol dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 64 sampel. Sampel yang digunakan adalah 32 ibu yang mengalami anemia pada kehamilan trimester III dan 32 ibu yang tidak mengalami anemia pada kehamilan Trimester III. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil uji chi kuadrat tiap variabel independent tidak ada perbedaan proporsi (Pv: >0,05) sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak aa hubungan yang significant antara berat badan bayi baru lahir, usia gestasi, jenis persalinan dan asfiksia terhadap kejadian anemia trimester III. Rancangan yang baik untuk penelitian sejenis untuk masa yang akan datang adalah dengan metodologi survey dan desain longitudinal.
