Authors: Zárate Negrete Laura Elena , Sánchez Ramos Ma. Eugenia , Contreras Lemus Lizeth Alejandra
Published: September 2023

En este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en una investigación realizada en la comunidad de Magallanes, municipio de Pénjamo, Guanajuato, la cual tuvo como objetivo identificar si dicha localidad cuenta con las condiciones para una innovación social. En las últimas décadas, la innovación social se ha utilizado como una alternativa de transformación y desarrollo humano para enfrentar las problemáticas sociales, lo cual fomentaría una mejor calidad de vida dentro de las comunidades. Para ello, por supuesto, se requiere de la participación de la sociedad, así como de diversos agentes sociales que permitan crear redes de apoyo y canales de comunicación efectivos para beneficiar a los involucrados (Millard, 2023). Sin embargo, la innovación social no se ha desarrollado en la mayor parte de las comunidades pertenecientes al estado de Guanajuato debido a factores como el desinterés de la sociedad o la falta de conocimiento para crear un proyecto, específicamente en la comunidad de Magallanes. Por eso, con esta investigación de enfoque cualitativo y descriptivo se pretende determinar si la referida comunidad es idónea para implementar y desarrollar un proceso de innovación social.
INTERPRETATION OF THE QURAN WITH A PHILANTROPHIC APPROACH (TAFSIR AT-TANWIR STUDY BY MAJELIS TARJIH DAN TAJDID PP MUHAMMADIYAH)
Authors: Rochmah Nur Hafifah , Munir Ahmad
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to find out the method of interpreting the book of Tafsir At-Tanwir, how to interpret the verses about philanthropy in Tafsir At-Tanwir, and the contextualization of philanthropic verses with social welfare. This study used the library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The author uses the thematic method to reveal the contents of the Al-Quran more comprehensively. The results of the study show that Tafsir At-Tanwir combines the tahlili and mawdu'i methods simultaneously (tahlili cum-thematic). The interpretation of philanthropic verses in Tafsir At-Tanwir tries to awaken the spirit of Islamic philanthropy which is built through the spirit of the Al-Quran. Philanthropy is a manifestation of the concept of charity theology with the spirit of al-Mauninitiated by KH Ahmad Dahlan, namely worship is not only of mechanical-ritualist-individualist value but of practical action that also has universal value within a frame of social piety. Islamic philanthropy has enormous potential in realizing social welfare. The actualization of teachings on philanthropy can help improve the lives of people in need and reduce social inequality.

Authors: Indriyani Yohanna Anisa , Rusmana Iman , Anwar Syaiful , Djajakirana Gunawan , Santosa Dwi Andreas
Published: September 2023

The application of microbial fuel cells is still facing some challenges due to its low power output and high internal resistance. It is desirable to obtain a stable and consistent power output from an MFC to support practical real-world applications. Five electroactive bacteria (isolate LGf1, LGf11, LGf15, LGf20, and LGf22) isolated from the sediment of Waduk Saguling were exploited as the potential anodic biocatalyst for MFC, and the performance of these MFCs were studied in terms of voltage generation (open and close circuit), power density and the losses (polarization technique), and efficiencies (coulombic and energy). MFC biocatalyst by isolate LGf11 performed the best electrochemical performances, including highest OCV (open circuit voltage) value (804 mV) and power output (0.043 W/m2), lowest ohmic resistance (475 Ω), and highest coulombic efficiency (75.79%) and energy efficiency (88.36%) among all anodic biocatalysts. Nevertheless, all the five isolates were potential to be exploited as active biocatalyst for MFC due to their high OCV values and the stability of voltage generations, both in open circuit and close circuit mode. The development of system configuration and the use of more suitable substrate for different electroactive microbes in order to harvest more power output was recommended for further study. Utilization of these potential microbes for other applications in MFC (such as wastewater treatment etc.) was also suggested for further research. Keywords: Bio-electrochemical system, Biofuel, Efficiency, Electro-microbiology, Power output

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the Bank Guarantee Fund's deposit guarantee activities
Authors: Reszczyński Radosław
Published: September 2023

Motivation: The Bank Guarantee Fund (BFG) operates by following two formulas, one of which is the implementation of the disbursement of guaranteed amounts. The BFG has been changing the limits of the guaranteed amounts, streamlining and improving the way in which the disbursements are made, as well as conducting information activities. The interest in analysing these activities is the original motive that prompted the present topic.
Aim: The aim of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the BFG's deposit guarantee activity by: showing the history of the limit of guaranteed amounts, reviewing selected items of the BFG's balance sheet and the collateral ratio of the deposit guarantee scheme. The 28 years of the BFG's existence have forced the Fund to make progress with computerisation, which is analysed on the basis of the implementation of payouts of two failed banks in Poland. The purpose of the survey is to verify the indirect information activity of the BFG.
Materials and methods: The research tasks were made possible through the use of descriptive analysis, financial analysis, a case study and a survey. The information contained in academic articles, annual reports of the BFG and in the BFG acts was used.
Results: High stability and security of the banking sector is crucial. The BFG's main investment is in securities of the State Treasury and the NBP, which guarantees the deposits of bank customers. The small institutions that are covered by the BFG regime show the highest level of safety, due to the limited risk of contagion in case of their failure. However, large banks have to look after their own interests, as most companies have accounts in these banks. The survey showed low public awareness of deposit guarantees. The BFG should improve its information activities, e.g. with TV and radio advertisements.
családi gazdasági társaságok és a szindikátusi szerződések lehetséges kapcsolódásai
Authors: Fazakas Zoltán József
Published: September 2023

A családi társaság fogalmát nem adja meg a hatályos jog. Azon gazdasági társaságok esetében, amelyekben egy család tagjai rendelkeznek döntő befolyással kizárólag formai megközelítést tesz lehetővé. A formai megközelítésen túl ugyanakkor a tartalmi kérdések, a családi érdekek és értékek sajátosságai ezen gazdasági társaság vizsgálatát más szempontok szerint is indokolják, amelyek alapján nem csak a hosszú távú üzletszerű gazdasági tevékenység, hanem a családi viszonyok jellegadó sajátosságai is vizsgálhatók társasági jogi alapon. Fentiek szerint a családi gazdasági társaságokban a családi viszonyok megjelenítése, a nemzedékeken átívelő működés igénye és családi jellegének védelme, továbbá a család tartós jólétének biztosítása kiemelkedő jelentőségű. A formai és tartalmi elemek együtteséből megállapítható, hogy a családi gazdasági társaságok olyan különleges jogi személyek, amelyekben egy meghatározott családi közösség döntő befolyása érvényesül, sajátos érdekeket és értékeket vall és képvisel, amelyek közül a családi vagyon védelme, a nemzedékeken átívelő működés célja, a családtagok tartós jólétének biztosítása emelendő ki. Ezen érdekek elérésének többes eszközrendszerét biztosítja a Polgári Törvénykönyv, a klasszikus társasági jogi eszközökön túl többek között a szindikátusi szerződésesek lehetőségével.
Motivational Feature “Action” in Dialectal Names of Utensils in Yakut Language
Authors: Nikolaev E. R.
Published: September 2023

The main goal of the study is to describe verb roots in dialectal names of dishes in the Yakut language in order to identify motivational features semantically related to the category of ‘action’. The article employs a descriptive method using morphological and semantic analysis of words. The material for the study consists of lexical units extracted from dialectological and explanatory dictionaries, as well as field materials collected by the author. It has been established that the motivational feature of a derived word is determined by the meaning of the base word. The relationship between the meaning of the derived word and the verb root of the base word is clarified through the use of word-forming affixes that denote properties and functions of dishes: size and volume; cooking process (dishes). The main motivational feature in the examined names is ‘action’, including fermentation, collection, movement, flipping, scooping, etc. The base words include verbs such as ‘bas-’ (to scoop (water)), ‘khalbıy-’ (to remove (e.g., cream)), ‘homuy-’ (to gather), ‘köyör-’ (to wander (about kumis)), ‘khotor-’ (to extract (meat)), ‘tas-’ (to move (kumis)), 'daibaa-’ (to swing, in the sense of ‘scooping with a ladle’), ‘tier-’ (to flip). The author concludes that the realization of this motivational feature can be referred to as ‘verb-type motivation’.
Discursive Practice and Communicative Strategy: Eclecticism vs Poly-paradigmatism?
Authors: Nikonova E. A.
Published: September 2023

The focus of this research is on the concepts of “communicative strategy” and “discursive practice,” which are frequently used today without being tied to a specific linguistic paradigm. The objective was to clarify whether these concepts can be classified as cross-paradigmatic, meaning they are not limited to a specific linguistic paradigm. The study revealed that despite their apparent similarities, these concepts differ in several key characteristics and are aimed at solving different tasks. Additionally, it was found that the main differentiation between these phenomena occurs at the level of their association with different linguistic domains: discursive practice is an element of discourse (and therefore belongs to the discursive paradigm), while communicative strategy is an element of communication (and is thus considered within the framework of the communicative-pragmatic / linguo-communicative paradigm and speech act theory). Analysis of contemporary research focused on studying communicative strategies and discursive practices showed a prevalence of a more “narrow” interpretation of the concept of “discourse,” which allows for the identification of specific forms of communicative practices within discourse. Furthermore, there is a simplification in the understanding of the implementation of discursive practices.
Linguocultural Features of Russian and Chinese Proverbs with Component ‘Dream’
Authors: Zhang Yanqiu
Published: September 2023

This study examines Russian and Chinese proverbs with the component ‘dream’ that have not been previously described in a comparative aspect. Linguocultural characteristics of proverbs in both languages are identified, which indicate common or different cultural-national attitudes. The relevance of the research is determined by the development of intercultural relations between Russian and Chinese societies, their interest in studying foreign languages. It is established that the proverbs with the component ‘dream’ recorded in Russian and Chinese lexicographic sources differ in quantitative and substantive terms. It is revealed that authoritative Chinese dictionaries present 10 proverbs with the component ‘dream’, while Russian dictionaries present 43. A common semantic is found among 3 Russian and 3 Chinese proverbs, which interpret dreams as reflections of people’s thoughts and desires. It is shown that the rest of the proverbs verbalize different cultural attitudes. Russian proverbs are characterized by an attitude towards sleep as a physical state that is necessary, beneficial, and pleasant. In addition, dreams are contrasted with reality, in which their fulfillment may or may not be possible. In Chinese proverbs, individuals are recommended to seize the moment and act in a timely manner to achieve their goals, as well as to be cautious with their words.
Children’s Games and Adult Repentance: Concept of Childhood in Literature of Early 20th Century
Authors: Seibel N. E.
Published: September 2023

This article describes the transformation of the image of the child in literature during the 10-30s of the 20th century. The stories of three contemporary authors are used as material, which are connected by motifs of enlightenment and repentance: “The Day of the Boy” by F. Verfel, “The Paper Kite” by Lu Xin, and “On Tenderness” by Nadezhda Teffi. The basis for comparative analysis is the biographical similarities, close circle of philosophical and aesthetic interests of Austrian, Chinese, and Russian authors, as well as the genre and thematic proximity of the texts. The researcher assumes that increased attention to the image of the child arises in the early 19th century in Romantic literature, which interprets it either as a victim or as an angel. However, in the second half of the 19th century, images of “evil children” begin to appear. The analysis shows that under the influence of Freud, the motive of children’s games as a way to familiarize oneself with evil, temptation, and inevitable experiences during development consistently emerges in literature of the early 20th century. The common form of reminiscence present in all three texts allows the authors to interpret childhood events causally and derive later moral experiences from children’s games. The article concludes that Verfel’s, Lu Xin’s, and Teffi’s stories are influenced by Freud’s idea of the interconnection between childhood impressions and the fate of adults, who must comprehend past shame, guilt, and repentance.
‘Neopredeljonnyj’ [Indefinite] vs. ‘Neulovimyj’ [Elusive] in Aspect of Categorical Perception
Authors: Kalinina L. V.
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the phenomenon of categorical perception, the success of which the author suggests can be expressed by the formula “this is exactly X from the category ‘X’.” The lexemes ‘neopredeljonnyj’ [indefinite] vs. ‘neulovimyj’ [elusive] are considered as units that verbalize the subject’s categorization difficulties in perception. Based on a comparison of the use of the adjectives ‘neopredeljonnyj’ [indefinite] vs. ‘neulovimyj’ [elusive] with nominations of different types of perceptual perception, it is established in which cases the object of perception, causing categorization difficulties, is designated as ‘neopredeljonnyj’ [indefinite] X and in which cases it is designated as ‘neulovimyj’ [elusive] X. The study is carried out using methods of definitional, componential, distributive, and contextual analysis based on explanatory dictionaries and data from the Russian National Corpus. As a result of the analysis of linguistic material, it was revealed that the combination ‘neopredeljonnyj’ [indefinite] X denotes that a certain X is well perceived by the sense organs, but the subject is unaware (it is absent from their lexicon) of the designation for this X. The combination ‘neulovimyj’ [elusive] X denotes that the sense organs only register the presence of a certain X, while X manifests itself too quickly/weakly or is heterogeneous, making it unrecognizable.

Authors: Kropotova T. A. , Kiryanova M. D.
Published: September 2023

The activities of the institutions of the Russian Red Cross Society in Tobolsk Province during the Russo-Japanese War are presented. The source of the study is a regional periodical publication — the newspaper ‘Sibirskiy Listok’. Publications such as appeals, appeals, notifications, reports, telegrams, and others for the period 1904-1905 (a total of 202 newspaper issues) are examined. It is revealed that the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War contributed to the establishment of the Tobolsk Red Cross Administration and the development of the Tobolsk community of mercy sisters. The extensive materials studied allow us to conclude that the local branch of the Red Cross fully developed during the years of the war. The Ladies’ Committees served as management and organizational structures. The main activity, providing medical assistance, was carried out by the community of mercy sisters. The key directions of the activities of the Tobolsk branch of the Russian Red Cross Society during the Russo-Japanese War were the establishment and maintenance of the community of mercy sisters, the creation of a stage hospital, and the provision of all necessary support to the wounded. For this purpose, donations were collected from the population. Analysis of publications in ‘Sibirskiy Listok’ showed a high degree of activity of the province’s population in the activities of the Tobolsk branch of the Russian Red Cross Society.
Intrasystemic Contradictions in Punctuation Marks of Appositives and Introductory Words in Ossetian: Causes and Solutions
Authors: Kudzoeva A. F. , Morgoeva L. B.
Published: September 2023

The subject of analysis is the punctuation marks of appendices and introductory words in the Ossetian — one of the problematic phenomena in contemporary Ossetian studies. The relevance of the study is determined, firstly, by the absence of works in Ossetian linguistics dedicated to the investigation of punctuation theory issues, and secondly, by the necessity of codifying punctuation norms in the Ossetian. The novelty of the research lies in the attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis of the reasons and circumstances of separating appendices and introductory words in Ossetian and Russian, as well as identifying gaps in Ossetian punctuation. It is demonstrated that actual punctuation practice does not deviate from the established norm in cases where the reasons for separating appendices and introductory words coincide in Ossetian and Russian. Special attention is given to the issues of distinguishing appendices and introductory words in positions that have no analogues in the Russian. The significance of word order and the presence of clitics in a sentence for the correct placement of punctuation marks in complex sentences is demonstrated. The punctuation formatting of appendices that have two qualifying words or a common postposition with a qualifying word is justified. The separation of introductory words that are part of an accentual complex is also commented on.

Authors: Mikhalchenko V. Yu. , Kondrashkina E. A. , Kirilenko S. V.
Published: September 2023

This article examines one component of language planning — educational planning. The main elements and indicators of this type of planning were identified. The authors discuss issues related to educational planning in three republics of the Russian Federation. The study was conducted based on the materials of the Kalmyk, Karelian, and Yakut languages. The aim of the research was to analyze educational planning as a set of existing opportunities for language learning. One of the objectives was to determine the scope and directions of activity in educational language planning. The second objective was to provide an overview of educational planning based on the materials of the Karelian, Kalmyk, and Yakut languages in synchrony and diachrony. The third objective was to analyze educational language planning according to our identified criteria and clarify the prestige of languages in the perception of speakers as a motivational factor for their study. To achieve this, the results of field research conducted in the three republics in 2021-2022 were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the ethnic self-awareness of respondents is at a high level, and the symbolic significance of national languages is significant. However, there is a tendency towards a decrease in the number of individuals interested in studying their native (national) language in school education.

Karrikins – effect on plants, interaction with other growth regulators, and potential use in horticulture
Authors: Marciniak Przemysław , Sochacki Dariusz , Nowakowska Karolina
Published: September 2023

Karrikins are a group of chemicals found in plant-derived smoke  from burning plant material. Till now, scientists concentrated on their effect on seed germination in plants sensitive to smoke. However, there are reports on the effect of karrikins on physiology and morphology in plants which do not occur in fire areas and are not naturally treated by smoke. These chemicals positively affect the biometric parameters of the in vitro cultured plants. Recently,  their effect on germination rate of pollen  in several species has been confirmed. They interact with plant growth regulators  enhancing their effects, for example using them together with auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid or ethylene. This paper contains  a review of present research  on karrikins and proposes  perspectives of further investigations, as well as  application of these chemicals in horticultural production as a new group of plant growth regulators.
The impact of selected agrotechnical treatments on the growth of wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) leaves in field cultivation
Authors: Błażewicz-Woźniak Marzena
Published: September 2023

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) is a typical spring geophyte whose natural habitat is beech forests. The research aimed to assess the possibility of cultivating wild garlic in field conditions significantly different from those required by this plant, using environmentally friendly and unconventional treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of selected agricultural practices (catch crop, shading plant, biopreparations) on the growth of wild garlic leaves grown in the field.
The results show that the biomass of catch crops and shade plants and biopreparations from marine algae are justified in cultivating wild garlic in field conditions regarding the leaf yield. Ploughing of phacelia biomass on a catchment soil with an unstable structure positively affected the growth of wild garlic, increasing the length of leaves, their number, and the length and width of the leaf blade. Winter turnip rape used as a shade plant caused an increase in the length of the leaves and the value of the FV/FM index (the quotient of the variable fluorescence to the maximum fluorescence), and also, depending on the year of the study, the length and width of the garlic leaf blade. Soaking the bulbs before planting in the ‘Kelpak SL’ solution increased the number of garlic leaves growing without turnip rape cover in the second and third years of cultivation. In the first year of vegetation, longer leaves with a larger leaf blade ensured the preparation was sprayed three times without pre-soaking the bulbs. Considering the biopreparations’ positive effect on the growth of garlic leaves and the FV/FM ratio values, their use is prospective regarding the increasing occurrence of dry years and is an alternative to plant irrigation.
Effect of high-energy ionizing radiation on the DNA content and genetic variation in chrysanthemum plants regenerated from irradiated ovaries
Authors: Miler Natalia , Jędrzejczyk Iwona , Trafara Paweł , Winiecki Janusz
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the range of quantitative and qualitative genetic changes in chrysanthemum plants regenerated in vitro from ovaries irradiated with high-energy photons (5, 10, and 15 Gy) and high-energy electrons (10 Gy). The highest DNA loss (up to 11%) was observed in plants originating from ovaries treated with 10 Gy high energy. AMOVA revealed significant differences between populations of plants representing different mutagenic treatments (18% for RAPD-based and 22% for SCoT-based analysis). The incidence of genetic changes was strongly correlated with the applied type and dose of ionizing radiation. The highest genetic distances to reference plants were observed for plants regenerated from 15 Gy high-energy photon (5.8% with RAPD and 1.7% with SCoT) and 10 Gy high-energy electron-treated explants (6.0% with RAPD and 2.9% with SCoT). Considerable changes in the phenotype of mutants were not necessarily correlated with the extent of genetic alterations. Qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluating post-radiation genetic changes should be combined for reliable detection of variant plants at early developmental stages.

Generally, moderate to high salinity conditions and excess boron (B) occur together as limiting factors for plant growth in the soils of arid and semiarid regions. To determine the combined effect of excessive boron, salinity stress, or both, five different levels of B (0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 1.8 mM) and 80 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) were applied to lavandin plants grown in a greenhouse. The results showed that under nonsaline conditions, biomass production in shoots and roots and photosynthetic pigment contents (chlorophyll (Chl) a, b, and Chl a + b) decreased with exceptionally high B applications compared to the control. Moreover, the bioconcentration (BCF) of B (in shoots and roots), potassium (K) concentrations (in roots), K/sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca)/Na ratios (in shoots), and Ca/B ratios (in shoots and roots) decreased for all B applications compared to the control. In contrast, all B applications caused a remarkable increase in the carotenoid (Car)/Chl ratio, B concentrations (in shoots and roots), translocation (TF) of B, and net B accumulation compared to the control. In addition, under nonsaline conditions, concentrations of K (in shoots), Ca (in shoots and roots), and K/Na and Ca/Na ratios (in roots) were significantly increased by B applications compared with the control. Under saline conditions, significant decreases in Chl b, Chl a + b, BCF of B (in shoots and roots), and Ca/B ratio (in shoots) were observed in all B applications compared to the control. However, under saline conditions, B application caused significant increases in the Car/Chl ratio, TF of B, net B accumulation, and concentrations of B (in shoots and roots), K (in shoots), Ca, and Na (in shoots and roots) compared to the control. It was concluded that although it is not seen in the growth parameters, NaCl application could effectively alleviate the harmful effects of B toxicity in lavandin plants. Under saline conditions, notable decreases in the mean B concentration in shoots could be strong evidence for this hypothesis.

OBJECTIVE

To identify prognostic indicators and inflammatory markers associated with nonsurvival in dogs with gallbladder mucoceles (GBMs) following cholecystectomy and to evaluate C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoglobin concentrations in dogs with GBMs compared to healthy controls.

ANIMALS

25 dogs that underwent cholecystectomy for removal of GBM and 20 healthy control dogs.

METHODS

A prospective, multicenter cohort study. Survival outcomes to hospital discharge and 2 weeks postdischarge were recorded from medical records. Laboratory variables, inflammatory markers (CRP and haptoglobin), and 25-hydroxyvitamin(OH) D (25[OH]D) concentrations were measured preoperatively. Associations between signalment, clinicopathologic variables, acute patient physiologic and laboratory evaluation (APPLEFAST) scores, inflammatory markers, 25(OH)D concentration, and survival were analyzed using logistic regression.

RESULTS

76% (19/25) and 68% (17/25) of dogs survived to hospital discharge and 2 weeks postdischarge, respectively. For each additional year of age, the odds of nonsurvival in hospital and 2 weeks postdischarge increased by 2.2 (P = .01; 95% CI, 1.2 to 5.0) and 1.7 (P = .04; 95% CI, 1.0 to 3.2), respectively. Intraoperative systolic blood pressure ≤ 65 mm Hg increased the probability of nonsurvival in hospital (P < .04). Gallbladder perforation, APPLEFAST scores, and preoperative serum concentrations of CRP, haptoglobin, and 25(OH)D were not associated with survival. Serum CRP and haptoglobin concentrations were greater in dogs with GBM compared to controls (P < .001).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Increasing age and intraoperative systolic blood pressure ≤ 65 mm Hg were associated with nonsurvival in dogs with GBM undergoing cholecystectomy. Serum CRP, haptoglobin, and 25(OH)D were not associated with nonsurvival postcholecystectomy in this sample population.
Patient safety culture is needed in veterinary medicine
Authors: Hofmeister Erik H. , Love Lydia
Published: September 2023

Studies in human medicine indicate that between 22,000 and 400,000 people die every year as a direct result of medical errors. In veterinary medicine, 42% of human-caused incidents caused harm to the patient, including 5% resulting in death. In a university veterinary teaching hospital, there were 5.3 errors/1,000 patient visits, and 4 of these resulted in death. Veterinary medicine falls far behind other safety-critical industries in adopting a culture of patient safety. Organizations should respond in a just and effective way when errors occur. Psychological safety for team members to identify and speak up about areas of concern must be created and the results of improvements made based on these concerns shared within the professional group. If veterinary medicine is going to embrace patient safety culture, it needs to be included in the curriculum. Accrediting and licensing bodies need to require the teaching and application of principles of patient safety culture. Faculty must be trained to deliver patient safety–oriented care. Experts in human systems engineering should be brought in to educate veterinarians on how the systems we work in impact patient outcomes. If we are going to fulfill the promise of the Veterinarian’s Oath, we must embrace patient safety culture and all the difficult changes it requires of our professional culture.

The Crossing-border of Modern Japanese midwives to the Korean Peninsula: Focusing on The Korean Empire Era
Authors:   The Korean Association For Japanese History, Ho So-Yeon
Published: September 2023

In modern Japan, midwives were legally defined as medical professionals. And they were individuals who could operate their own businesses, making them Japanese women who crossed borders to the Korean Peninsula even before colonization. However, research on the crossing borders of midwives has been insufficient due to the approach of conducting studies by separating the research area based on national borders. Studying this will shed light on the labor conditions and way of life of midwives crossing borders, as modern Japanese women workers, and colonizers.
Therefore, this paper aims to examine the reality of midwives crossing borders in the pre-colonial Korean peninsula through articles of Keijosinpo and statistics by the Japanese Residency-General.
Through this paper, the following points have been confirmed: First, Japanese midwives were active in Gyeungseong, and Busan at least since the Japanese Legation era. Second, After the establishment of the Japanese Residency-General, some of midwives were sent by the Doujin-kai, which sought to infiltrate medical care in Korea and the Qing Dynasty following the victory of the Russo-Japanese War. Third, At the end of 1906, Busan had the largest number of midwives, but as the Japanese population in Gyeungseong surged, number of midwives also increased in Gyeungseong, and the number of midwives in other cities followed the trend of population growth and the number of females and births. Finally, their income was not evaluated as high, but it was perceived as good because it was recognized as a domestic job that women could do at home.

Background. Hereditary renal tubular disorders (HRTD) represent a group of genetic diseases characterized by disturbances in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis. There is a paucity of studies on pediatric HRTD in Egypt. In this study, we aimed to study the pattern, characteristics, and growth outcome of HRTD at an Egyptian medical center.
Methods. This study included children from one month to < 18-years of age with HRTD who were diagnosed and followed up at the Pediatric Nephrology Unit of Sohag University Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021. Data on patients` demographics, clinical features, growth profiles, and laboratory characteristics were collected.
Results. Fifty-eight children (57% males; 72% parental consanguinity; 60% positive family history) were diagnosed with seven HRTD types. The most commonly encountered disorders were distal renal tubular acidosis (distal renal tubular acidosis [RTA] 27 cases, 46.6%) and Bartter syndrome (16 cases 27.6%). Other identified disorders were Fanconi syndrome (6 cases with cystinosis), isolated proximal RTA (4 cases), nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (3 cases), and one case for each RTA type IV and Gitelman syndrome. The median age at diagnosis was 17 months with a variable diagnostic delay. The most common presenting features were failure to thrive (91.4%), developmental delay (79.3%), and dehydration episodes (72.4%). Most children showed marked improvement in growth parameters in response to appropriate management, except for cases with Fanconi syndrome. Last, only one case (with cystinosis) developed end-stage kidney disease.
Conclusions. HRTD (most commonly distal RTA and Bartter syndrome) could be relatively common among Egyptian children, and the diagnosis seems challenging and often delayed.
Clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in purulent meningitis: a case seri
Authors: Ding Min , Yang Chunfeng , Li Yumei
Published: September 2023

Background. Purulent meningitis remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity among children worldwide. An immediate diagnosis of the causative microorganism is critical to significantly improving the outcome of this condition.
Case. In this study, we collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from four patients clinically diagnosed with purulent meningitis. Patients with purulent meningitis may present with a variety of clinical symptoms or laboratory results. Infectious microorganisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Haemophilus influenzae were identified in the CSF samples via metagenomic nextgeneration sequencing (mNGS).
Conclusions. mNGS is effective for the immediate detection of pathogens, which can in turn facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment among individuals with purulent meningitis, especially if conventional CSF results (such as CSF culture and polymerase chain reaction) are negative.
