Authors:   Belarusian State University, Sheiko Anna A. , Koroteeva Daria O. ,   Belarusian State University, Buga Sergey V. ,   Belarusian State University
Published: November 2022

The study of anthophilous insects carried out in 2019-2021 in open field areas in the territory of Narochansky National Park revealed 42 species for the flower visitor guild of native European goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea L.) and for the flower-visitor guild of invasive goldenrods Solidago canadensis s. l. - 50 species of Aculeata (Hymenoptera). The taxonomic structure of guilds is different: only 11 species are present in both guilds, among visitors of S. virgaurea inflorescences the species richness of Apoidea is higher (38 species, 90 % of their total number), whereas for S. canadensis inflorescences -of Vespoidea s. l. (31 species, 62 %). There were no dominant species in the studied guilds; in the guild of S. virgaurea inflorescence visitors, the group of common species included bumblebees Bombus lucorum L. and Bombus (Psithyrus) bohemicus Seidl, the group of numerous species - bumblebees Bombus humilis Ill., Bombus lapidarius L., Bombus pratorum L., Bombus terrestris L. and Cuckoo bumblebee Bombus (Psithyrus) rupestris F. Polistine wasps Polistes nimpha Christ and Polistes dominula Christ were common among visitors of S. canadensis inflorescences; Ancistrocerus trifasciatus Mull., Philanthus triangulum F., Lasioglossum varipes Morawitz, and B. terrestris were numerous. The relative abundance of B. terrestris was the highest, approaching the threshold value for assignment to the group of numerous species. It is suggested that high relative abundance of Vespoidea s. l. visiting inflorescences of invasive goldenrods is connected to the fact that adult wasps not only feed on flowers, but prey on small insects that are numerous here.

This article contains information about the levels of radon in the air of residential premises in the settlements of Luninets and Mikashevichi and their environs (Brest region, Republic of Belarus), as well as doses to the population of these territories, formed by the inhalation intake of this radioactive noble gas. The study of the integral weighted average value of the volumetric activity of radon in the air of residential premises was carried out by the track method using integrated radon track radiometers based on an accredited laboratory. Based on data on the content of radon in the air of residential premises, doses were calculated for the population of Luninets and Mikashevichi, and an analysis was made of factors that could affect the magnitude of this dose (features of building materials of residential premises, household communications, location of the house). Exposure doses to the population due to radon in the air of residential premises fell in the range from 0.9 to 7.7 mSv/year with a non-normal distribution. In the course of the study, it was found that the type of dwelling has the most significant effect on the level of radon in the air of residential premises: doses for the population living in private residential buildings with brick walls are significantly higher compared to similar doses for the population living on the first floors apartment buildings. A comparison was made of the levels of radon in the air of residential premises and doses for the population of Luninets and Mikashevichi. The levels of radon in the air of residential premises of Luninets are significantly higher than those in Mikashevichi, which refutes the impact of granite mining on the level of radon in the air of residential premises of this settlement. The calculation of lifelong oncological risks for the population of Luninets and Mikashevichi was made. When calculating 0.6*10-5 for each Bq/m3, the soncological risks fell within the range from 0.00009 to 0.00074. Based on the measurement results, maps were created that clearly demonstrate the distribution of radon levels in the air of residential premises of the studied settlements and their environs.

COMNENIAN SEALS OF WOMEN FROM BULGARIA
Authors:   Regional historical museum – Shumen, Zhekova Zhenya
Published: November 2022

Up to the present moment nine seals have been documented in Bulgaria, referring to six persons with the family name Comnene. Five of them were found in today’s Southern Bulgarian lands. Such active correspondence leads to the conclusion that in these very lands were located family possessions of the Comnenian family in which their relatives sojourned. The dating of the seals is in the 11th – 12th centuries. There are difficulties in the identification of each person from the seals with real people because the family name Comnene was very common during that particular period of time.

The article is the first attempt in the Bulgarian humanities to analyze, on the basis of comparative material from different time segments of the Bulgarian literary process, the image projections of Patriarch Euthymius. This is done in the light of a very debatable theory – the theory of the importance of passionaries for historical procedurality. We are looking for interpretive visions, attracted by the philosophy of history, ethnology andl iterature, to prove the complex understanding of the role and importance of this Bulgarian passionary through the axiological options of the times in which literary works were created, whose main actor was the last patriarch of the second Bulgarian kingdom.
THE PICTURESQUE CAUCASUS. A GEOCRITICAL APPROACH
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Romania, Cosma Alina
Published: November 2022

The concepts of space and place are key elements in analyzing a literary text from the perspective of geocriticism. The contribution of Edward W. Said in the development of spatially oriented cultural criticism is important, as his writing is a great resource for the geocritical studies. The imaginary of Caucasus has always drawn attention of different artists, poets and writers, especially in the romantic period, when it was a symbol of freedom and love. For the Russian society, the picturesque Caucasus represented the Orient and the exotic Other. This study focuses on the representations of Caucasus in the writings of M. Yu. Lermontov and A.S. Pushkin, as well as in the art of some painters from the romantic period up to present. We are interested in the relation between this space and the authors that wrote about it and the artists that painted it.

THE DISTINCTIVE VOICE OF THE COMMONPLACE: BARBARA PYM’S CHALLENGE TO CRITICAL CONVENTIONS
Authors:   Atılım University, Turkey, Aksoy N. Berrin
Published: November 2022

Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil when asked by the Times Literary Supplement in 1977 to name the most underrated writer of the century, immediately named Barbara Pym, which started a revival in her literary career. In this study, the reasons why Barbara Pym stayed in obscurity after some relative recognition and the reasons why she was named as underrated will be discussed from the perspective of how her commonness in her novels in terms of her treatment of narrative and thematic content takes shape and becomes a distinctive and highlighting quality of her style. Barbara Pym’s subtle involvement with the trivialities of everyday life which is so elegantly and uniquely embedded in her plots gained an unparalled quality that makes her obtain a distinctive voice among her contemporary 20th century writers in English literature.

Is EQ-5D a Valid Quality of Life Instrument in Patients With Parkinson’s Disease? A Study in Singapore
Authors: Low Serena , Au Wing-Lok , Lau Puay-Ngoh , Tan Louis CS , Luo Nan
Published: November 2022

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the validity of the EQ-5D in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in Singapore. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, patients with PD completed English or Chinese version of the EQ-5D, the 8-item Parkinson’s disease questionnaire (PDQ-8), and questions assessing socio-demographic and health characteristics. Clinical data were retrieved from patients’ medical records. The validity of the EQ-5D was assessed by testing a-priori hypotheses relating the EQ-5D to the PDQ-8 and clinical data. Results: Two hundred and eight PD patients (English speaking: 135) participated in the study. Spearman correlation coefficients between the EQ-5D and PDQ-8 ranged from 0.25 to 0.75 for English-speaking patients and from 0.16 to 0.67 for Chinese-speaking patients. By and large, the EQ-5D scores were weakly or moderately correlated with Hoehn and Yahr stage (correlation coefficients: 0.05 to 0.43), Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living score (correlation coefficients: 0.10 to 0.60), and duration of PD (correlation coefficients: 0.16 to 0.43). The EQ-5D index scores for patients with dyskinesia or “wearing off” periods were significantly lower than those without these problems. The EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) scores also differed for English-speaking patients with deferring dyskinesia, “wearing off” periods, or health transition status; however, such differences were not observed in patients who completed the survey in Chinese. Conclusions: The EQ-5D questionnaire appears valid for measuring quality of life in patients with PD in Singapore. However, the validity of EQ-VAS in Chinese- speaking patients with PD should be further assessed. Key words: EQ-5D, Health-related quality of life, Parkinson’s disease

Published: November 2022

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of short message system (SMS) and internet usage in patients visiting the SingHealth Polyclinics and to measure patients’ acceptance of using these technologies in healthcare delivery. Materials and Methods: A representative sample of patients visiting the 9 SingHealth Polyclinics were interviewed in-person by trained medical students. Collected information included demographic characteristics, access to and usage of mobile phone/SMS and internet, as well as acceptance and concerns on using these technologies in primary healthcare delivery. Results: Among 705 patients surveyed (mean age: 54.6 years, female: 50.6%, response rate: 92%), 407 (57.7%) were SMS users and 158 (22.4%) were internet users. Two hundred and eighty-four of 412 SMS and/or internet users (40.3% of the entire sample) were comfortable with the use of these technologies in healthcare delivery. Malay or Indian ethnicity, better education, and visiting the clinic for acute symptoms or screening were factors positively associated with willingness to use such technologies. The main concerns associated with the use of SMS and internet in healthcare delivery were preference for in-person consultation with a doctor (23.5%), reduced patient-doctor interaction (23.0%), and increased healthcare cost (20.8%). Conclusion: The present prevalence of SMS and internet usage among patients visiting the SingHealth Polyclinics and their concerns towards use of these technologies in healthcare delivery do not support current widespread implementation of services entailing SMS and internet in the study sites.

Development of a Diabetes Registry to Improve Quality of Care in the National Healthcare Group in Singapore
Authors: Toh Matthias PHS , Leong Helen SS , Lim Beng Kuan
Published: November 2022

In Singapore, chronic care is provided by both ambulatory primary care clinics and specialist clinics in hospitals. In 2005, the National Healthcare Group (NHG) embarked to build a diabetes registry to enhance the continuity of care for patients with diabetes and facilitate greater efficiency in outcome measurement. This Chronic Disease Management System (CDMS) links administrative and key clinical data of patients with diabetes mellitus across the healthcare cluster. At the point of patient care, clinicians view a summary of each patient’s chronic disease records, consolidated chart with physical parameters, laboratory investigation results and the “patient reminders” listing the clinical decision support prompts when key laboratory and screening tests are due for each patient. The CDMS provides reports of clinical outcomes in a systematic and efficient manner for quality improvement and evidenced-based population management. These include process indicators consisting of the rates of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) and nephropathy tests; and intermediate outcome indicators of the proportion of patients with poor HbA1c (>9%) and optimal LDL-c (<2.6 mmol/L) control. From January 2007 to December 2008, the rates of the 3 process indicators were relatively unchanged and that of HbA1c and LDL-c tests were high. There was gradual improvement in the proportion of patients achieving target level of LDL-c in both primary care clinics and hospitals. Fewer patients at primary care clinics had poorly-controlled HbA1c. As a tool for chronic care delivery, the NHG diabetes registry has made clinical monitoring and outcome management for patients with diabetes mellitus more efficient.

Risk Adjustment: Towards Achieving Meaningful Comparison of Health Outcomes in the Real World
Authors: Ding Yew Yoong
Published: November 2022

Health outcomes evaluation seeks to compare a new treatment or novel programme with the current standard of care, or to identify variation of outcomes across different healthcare providers. In the real world, it is not always possible to conduct randomised controlled trials to address the issue of comparator groups being different with respect to baseline risk factors for the outcomes. Therefore, risk adjustment is required to address patient factors that may lead to biases in estimates of treatment effects. It is essential when conducting outcomes evaluation of more than trivial significance. Risk adjustment begins by asking 4 questions: what outcome, what time frame, what population, and what purpose. Next, design issues are considered. This involves choosing the data source, planning data collection, defining the sample required, and selecting the variables carefully. Finally, analytical issues are considered. Regression modelling is central to every analytic strategy. Other methods that may augment regression include restriction, stratification, propensity scores, instrumental variables, and difference-in-differences. The construction of risk adjustment models is an iterative process requiring both art and science. Derived models should be validated. Limitations of risk adjustment include reliance on data availability and quality, imperfect method, ineffectiveness when comparators are very different, and sensitivity to different methods used. Thoughtful application of risk adjustment can improve the validity of comparisons between different treatments, programmes and providers. The extent of risk adjustment should be guided by its purpose. Finally, its methodology should be made explicit, so that informed readers can judge the robustness of results obtained.

Imprisonment for Civil Debt (Gizjeling) in Indonesian Praxis Tax Law Enforcement
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Diponegoro University – Semarang, Indonesia, Adiyanta F.C. Susila
Published: November 2022

Gizjeling, imprisonment for civil debt, is one of tax collection instruments. The gizjeling institution in Indonesia was once frozen by the Supreme Court which was followed by Directorate General of Taxes (DGT). In other situation, for the interest of the state in the bad debts collection by the banking debtors during the economic crisis of 2000, the Supreme Court issued new regulation of gizjeling implementation. At the same time, DGT uses gizjeling for tax collection facilities against incompliant taxpayer. This research problem focused on the juridical construction of gizjeling as instruments of tax debt collection, and validity of juridical considerations of the use of aforementioned instrument in the praxis of tax law enforcement in Indonesia. Administrative law point of view brought conclusion that juridical construction of gijzeling is a government punitive form and is the last used means. In tax law enforcement praxis, the basis of the validity of juridical considerations of gijzeling is to provide deterrent effect and psychological compulsion to the taxpayer to pay off the tax arrears. It's strongly recommended that tax law enforcement should prioritize persuasive approach rather than gizjeling as physical coercion. Furthermore the government should encourage public participation with a communicative action model.

O mundo do trabalho na base da indústria da reciclagem: formulação crítica a partir da experiência das associações de catadoras e catadores de materiais recicláveis de Viçosa-MG
Authors:   , Silva Pablo Pereira da
Published: November 2022

O setor da reciclagem aparece para grande parte da sociedade como algo virtuoso, tanto por produzir uma mercadoria supostamente capaz de mitigar ou mesmo estabilizar a degradação ambiental decorrente da exacerbada produção de resíduos sólidos, atestando a possibilidade de um desenvolvimento sustentável; quanto pela suposta capacidade de promover a inclusão socioprodutiva de uma categoria profissional historicamente a margem do mercado de trabalho, por meio da geração de emprego e renda. Contudo, os limites da reciclagem frente a exacerbada geração de resíduos sólidos e a persistente precariedade das condições de trabalho de catadores e catadoras contradizem tais alegações. Diante desta contradição este trabalho assume o propósito de superar as ilações mais imediatas e aparentes sobre o mercado da reciclagem e, por conseguinte, sobre as condições dos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras que compõem a base desta indústria; mais especificamente, trata-se de superar análises utilitaristas que, baseadas em um individualismo metodológico, reduzem à questão a um problema de racionalidade/irracionalidade de empresas, governos e/ou cidadãos considerados de forma fragmentada. Neste sentido, a indústria da reciclagem é apreendida enquanto elemento integrado ao modo de produção capitalista, ou seja, às legalidades que estruturam o funcionamento deste setor para os fins da acumulação de capital. Do mesmo modo, as(os) catadoras(es) são compreendidas(os) como parte da classe trabalhadora, a partir das determinações que incidem sobre a sua existência enquanto tal. Por fim, a atuação das associações de catadoras(es) de Viçosa(MG) são analisadas frente a divisão social do trabalho estabelecida pela indústria da reciclagem. Ou seja, neste momento as particularidades das associações de Viçosa são confrontadas com as generalidades anteriormente investigadas. Palavras-chave: Capital. Trabalho. Reciclagem. Catadoras(es).

They all were available for the interviews translating to a 100% response rate. Data analysis techniques combined descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Package for Social Sciences and SmartPLS 3 software were used to analyze the collected data.

Findings: The study results revealed that team negotiation significantly influences collaborative value within Ashoka Fellows’ Organizations in Africa. Team Negotiations have a significant influence on collaborative value with an R2 = 0.214, chi-square X2 (10, N=100) = 72.319, p<.05, SRMR=0.090, Rms-theta=0.234, and NFI=0.773. The null hypothesis was rejected.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that negotiating teams should ensure that they know as much as possible about the other side of the negotiation. The teams' perception is vital in the negotiating team's preparedness as they should be aware of what is necessary at every stage of the negotiating process. When negotiating, the focus should be on looking for alternative ways of dealing with the problem before finding a solution that satisfies all members. The evaluation of options during team negotiations should be objective. At large, the negotiating teams should ensure that all members feel comfortable with the solution to the problem raised before making the steps to implement the solution.

Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinological disorder of reproductive age female. The etiology of PCOS is not completely understood. Several publications nowadays demonstrate the relationship between chronic low-grade inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunctions induced by oxidative stress.

Methods: This hospital based cross-sectional study, was conducted among reproductive age females. The study includes 73 obese PCOS, 55 Lean PCOS subjects and 15 non-obese PCOS subjects on the basis on transvaginal sonography and BMI. The anthropometric parameters were: BMI, Waist Hip Ratio (WHR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure by sphygmomanometer. Serum samples were collected to measure: oxidative stress (MDA), lipid profile, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (HsCRP, IL-6, IL-18 & TNF-α).

Results: The BMI and MDA levels were significant in obese-PCOS and lean PCOS group (p <0.001). Whereas, in the obese-PCOS and non-PCOS obese group MDA, triglycerides, HDL, VLDL, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α were significant respectively.

Conclusion: It concluded from this study that obesity may contribute to dyslipidemia and elevated oxidative stress levels in reproductive age females irrespective of PCOS. Therefore, obesity in addition to known features such as dyslipidemia, hypertension and disturbed oxidative stress response, may be contributing factors to increase the risk of future cardiovascular diseases in obese women.

Background: Periapical cysts are slow-growing cysts that are often asymptomatic until they become secondary infections. Periapical cysts are seen in the periapical region. The choice of therapy may be influenced by a number of criteria, including the extent of the lesion, its connection to important structures, its point of origin, clinical features, the patient's level of cooperation, and the patient's overall health. As a result of this, the current research was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical intervention in the treatment of radicular cysts.Materials and Methods: The investigation included a total of 28 instances, 20 of which were men and 8 of which were females. All of the patients exhibited gradually growing swelling in the anterior area. Clinical examination and radiographs of all of the patients produced conclusive evidence of the presence of a radicular cyst. Both the non-surgical intervention group and the surgical intervention group received an equal share of the overall group. For the purpose of analysis, a t-test on independent samples and a Chi-square test were carried out.Results: The non-surgical group had a mean radiographic lesion of 1.78 + 0.1 and 0.44 + 0.11 at the first and sixth months, respectively, whereas the surgical group had a mean lesion of 1.22 + 0.11 and 0.21 + 0.12. The p values for the two groups, which showed a statistically significant difference, were P = 0.01 and P = 0.00, respectively. After one month, 11 patients in the surgical group were extremely pleased, and after six months, patients in both groups were very satisfied. However, the degree of satisfaction did not demonstrate a significant amount of relevance. The number of patients in the surgery group who had severe pain was somewhat higher than in the non-surgical group; however, after the first month, pain was much less severe in the surgical group as compared to the non-surgical group.Conclusion: Combination procedures, such as the root canal, apicoectomy and decompression or marsupialization , have superior results in treating radicular cysts with non-vital pulp than using each one of these procedures alone.

Background: The World Health Organization, WHO explains that sadness and anxiety are the most common mental health problems. Anxiety for children occurs due to the COVID-19 vaccination program by the government may cause uncooperative attitudes. Thus, this situation may lower the children's effectiveness to join learning activities. This research analyzed the influence of counseling with the storytelling method on the anxiety of school learners to receive COVID-19 vaccination in Primary School 03 Bulungcangkring.Method: This research applied a quasi-experimental research design with a pre- and post-test control group approach. The sample consisted of 58 respondents taken with the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Each group, the intervention, and control group, consisted of 29 respondents. The researchers analyzed the data with paired t-test.Results: The results showed that before the intervention group received the intervention, a percentage of 44.8% of learners were anxious. Then, a percentage of 55.2% of learners experienced extreme anxiety. In the control group side, a percentage of 65.5% of learners experienced moderate anxiety while a percentage of 35.5% of learners experienced extreme anxiety.

Introduction: Acid attack is a heinous crime, where the victims face lifelong trauma, with disfigurement of face and other body parts. This study focused on studying the different ways through which acid attack survivors dealt with their circumstances by understanding their levels of resilience, life satisfaction and happiness.Method: Homogenous purposive sampling was used for the study. 30 survivors answered for the quantitative analysis of the three components, followed by interview of 10 of them who agreed to be part of the semi-structured interview.Results: In the quantitative analysis, it was found that there was a significant correlation between happiness and resilience. In the interview, four major themes emerged. The first theme was the ability to adapt, with sub-themes of personal belief system, adaptive memories of the past, belief in the just world and social support received from their family and friends. The second theme was life satisfaction which was derived by living in the moment and being hopeful. The third theme was that of happiness as an experience, which was subjective in nature and needed the reintegration of the past memories. The last was that of the experience of being a victim, which was driven by the memories of the attack.Conclusion: Findings of this study indicate how the survivors have adapted to their circumstances at hand, but have past memories of the attack. These findings can further help to generate insights on the kind of interventions needed for the rehabilitation of the survivors.
