Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. A terhesség során a szervezet hormonrendszerében
jelentős változások mennek végbe, melyek a magzat optimális anatómiai és
élettani fejlődését, valamint a várandósság terminusig történő kihordását
biztosítják. Ezen hatások sokszor a reproduktív szervrendszeren kívül más
szerveket is érinthetnek, így a szemet és a szem függelékeit. A szemészeti
változások élettani és kóros eltérésekben nyilvánulhatnak meg, melyek a
legtöbbször átmenetiek és ártalmatlanok, bizonyos esetben azonban terápiás
beavatkozást igényelhetnek, vagy súlyos háttérbetegség kórjelzői lehetnek.
Közleményünkben áttekintjük a terhességhez kapcsolódó leggyakoribb fiziológiás
szemészeti változásokat és egyéb patológiás szemészeti kórképeket, melyek a
várandósság alatti megváltozott hormonális, immunológiai és metabolikus
hatásokra kialakulhatnak, progrediálhatnak vagy fellángolhatnak. Ezenkívül
ismertetjük a szülésvezetés módjának szemészeti indikációból történő
eldöntésének vonatkozásait és a szülés kapcsán előforduló szemészeti
szövődményeket. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(52): 2089–2099.

Summary. During pregnancy, significant changes occur in the
endocrine system that ensure the appropriate anatomical and physiological
development of the foetus as well as smooth delivery at term. Apart from the
reproductive system, these effects can affect other organs such as the eye and
ocular adnexa. Ophthalmic changes can manifest in physiological and pathological
abnormalities, most of which are transient and harmless; however, some cases may
require therapeutic intervention or may be indicative of severe underlying
disease. Our review focuses on the most common physiological ophthalmic changes
associated with pregnancy and other pathological ophthalmic diseases that may
develop, progress or exacerbate due to altered hormonal, immunological and
metabolic effects during gestation. Furthermore, aspects of deciding the
delivery mode from an ophthalmic indication, along with ocular complications
related to childbirth, are described. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(52): 2089–2099.
Laryngealis szűkületek innovatív sebészi megoldásai újszülött- és csecsemőkorban

Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. A veleszületett légúti szűkületek gyakran kombináltan
jelentkeznek, és más szervrendszert is érintő kísérőbetegségekkel, illetve
malformációkkal is társulhatnak. Figyelembe véve ezeket a tényezőket, illetve a
csecsemőkori légút speciális anatómiáját és sérülékeny szöveteit, a felső légúti
szűkületek sebészi kezelése újszülött- és csecsemőkorban igen nagy kihívást
jelentő feladat, melynek célja a mihamarabbi definitív, stabil légút biztosítása
a hangképzés és a nyelési funkció megőrzésével. A laryngomalacia, a
hangszalagbénulás és a subglotticus stenosis együttesen a gége veleszületett
rendellenességeinek megközelítőleg 90%-áért felelős. A szerzők erre a három
kórképre fókuszálva egy-egy eset kapcsán bemutatják a Szegedi Tudományegyetem
Fül-Orr-Gégészeti és Fej-Nyaksebészeti Klinikáján működő légútsebészeti
munkacsoport által rutinszerűen alkalmazott innovatív sebészi módszereket. A
bemutatott sebészeti megoldások egy lépésben, tracheostoma, sztentelés és graft
beültetése nélkül azonnali stabil légutat biztosítanak jó hangminőséggel és
nyelési funkcióval a supraglottis, a glottis és a subglottis dinamikus és
statikus szűkületei esetén egyaránt. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(52): 2100–2106.

Summary. Congenital airway stenoses occur frequently in combinations
or may be associated with comorbidities and malformations affecting other organ
systems. Considering these factors as well as the special anatomy and vulnerable
tissues of the pediatric airway, surgical treatment in neonates and infants is
an extremely challenging task. The ultimate goal of the management is to ensure
a definitive and adequate airway as soon as possible with the preservation of
voice and swallowing. Laryngomalacia, vocal cord palsy and subglottic stenosis
together account for approximately 90% of congenital laryngeal disorders.
Focusing on these three diseases, the authors – the airway surgery working group
at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University of
Szeged, Hungary – present their routinely applied innovative surgical strategies
in connection with three cases. The presented ‘one-step’ surgical solutions
provide immediate stable airway with good voice quality and swallowing function
without tracheostomy, stenting, or graft implantation for both dynamic and
static stenoses of the supraglottis, glottis, and subglottis. Orv Hetil. 2021;

A SARS-CoV-2-járvány kihívásai és tapasztalatai a molekuláris diagnosztikában
Authors: Zóka András , Tresó Bálint , Bekő Gabriella
Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. Bár a SARS-CoV-2-pandémia próbára tette a
diagnosztikus kapacitásokat, számos hasznos tapasztalattal is szolgált, melyek
alacsonyabb mintaszám mellett nem lettek volna levonhatók. Míg korábban a
PCR-vizsgálatok jellemzően diagnosztikus, illetve kvantitatív követési célokat
szolgáltak, a járvány során többségbe kerültek a szűrő- és (kezdetben) a
felszabadító vizsgálatok. Jól követhető volt, hogy a tesztek piacra juttatásának
erőltetett üteme sokszor nem tette lehetővé a teljesen kiforrott koncepciók
létrehozását. Tekintettel arra, hogy a molekuláris diagnosztika során nem teljes
vírusgenomokat, hanem célszakaszokat mutatunk ki, amelyek aránya a fertőzés
egyes szakaszaiban nem feltétlenül állandó, egyre valószínűbb, hogy nem azonos
célgének a legmegfelelőbbek diagnosztikus, szűrő- és felszabadító
vizsgálatokhoz. A nagy mennyiségű, aspecifikusan végzett vizsgálat még kiváló
fajlagosság mellett is a pozitív prediktív érték csökkenéséhez vezethet,
amennyiben a fertőzés tényleges prevalenciája a vizsgálati csoportban alacsony.
Munkánkban megkíséreljük irodalmi és saját adatok felhasználásával összefoglalni
az elmúlt két év fontosabb diagnosztikus tapasztalatait a teljesség igénye
nélkül. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(52): 2071–2078.

Summary. Although the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been a great challenge
for the diagnostic capacities, it also proved to be a unique source of
experience. While previously PCR tests had overwhelmingly been used for targeted
diagnostic and quantitative follow-up testing, screening and (initially) release
tests became far more prevalent during the pandemic. It was well to be seen that
the forced pace of bringing tests to market often gave way to not fully mature
concepts. The PCR method is based on the detection of sequences, the proportions
of which are likely to alter throughout the course of the disease. It is
becoming increasingly clear that different target genes might be the best
suitable for diagnostic, screening and release testing. Even with specific
assays, an unprecedentedly high number of tests might result in the inflation of
the positive predictive value, when the true prevalence of the infection remains
very low among the tested individuals. Here we try to summarize some of the
potentially most relevant diagnostic conclusions of the pandemic so far
according to our own data and the literature. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(52):

Unsynchronized Ann & Genetics Guided Telecardiology Security Reinforcement in the Light of Covid-19
Authors: Dey Joydeep , Karforma Sunil
Published: January 2022

In this COVID-19 crucial stage, cryptographic developments help to convey secret information inside the digital telemedicine frameworks. The novel corona virus had broken all configurations of our life. In the clinical medical sciences, patients are encouraged to select the remote based
telemedicine services. Cardiac patients are especially defenseless to this COVID-19. Patients having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPDs) as co-morbidity are enthusiastically prescribed to remain protected at their remote isolations. Through such telecardiology, they might impart
their basic data with various cardiovascular experts. This will diminish their odds of getting COVID-19 positive because of no actual developments outside homes. Patients experiencing such significant COPDs are to be analyzed and treated appropriately via cardiologists. Contemporary imperfections
on patients' private data are an open challenge in such telecardiology. Electronic cardiac data are very much vulnerable in nature. Along these lines, it is exceptionally critical to force a high level security strategy in such COVID-19 telecardiology. In this paper, we have generated session
key based on unsynchronized artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm. Two unsynchronized ANNs were considered to have two intermediate keys. These keys were genetically crossover to form the session key. Furthermore, that session key would e used in the secret share generation process.
Entropy values observed with respect to the secret share were nearly closed to eight. Histogram, floating frequency, and autocorrelation, etc were generated by the proposed technique with well-distributed in shapes. The functional time in the form of encryption and decryption were evaluated
in this paper for different secret shares. Patients' medical data are very much under severe risk of intrusion. Lastly, secret shares were transmitted through RSA. This framework acts against various security conducts in correspondence network particularly where online clinical exchanges have
overflowed colossally in this COVID-19 period.

Long-term moisture penetration in concrete exposed to marine tidal conditions
Authors: Padala Suresh Kumar , Bishnoi Shashank , Bhattacharjee Bishwajit
Published: January 2022

The depth of concrete influenced by seawater penetration plays a vital role in many durability processes affecting reinforced concrete structures in the marine tidal zone. In this study, a phenomenological moisture transport model in concrete is developed and is validated with numerous experimental results reported in the literature. The boundary conditions for cyclic wetting–drying in the tidal zone are formulated based on a novel superimposed tide model that more accurately represents real-time tides. The moisture profiles over a large number of wet–dry cycles are evaluated in the tidal zone using the developed models. The long-term moisture penetration characterised by (i) the influential depth of moisture transport (IMDT) and (ii) the cyclic water absorption amount (CWAA) is compared at various locations along the entire tidal zone. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to estimate the influence of material properties and environmental conditions on the IDMTs and CWAAs. The results of the study revealed that the IDMTs and CWAAs predicted by the realistic superimposed tide model are about 3.5 times greater than those predicted by conventional diurnal tide models. This substantial difference justifies the importance of the correct choice of tide model for durability studies in the tidal zone.
On non-conservativity of Korean floating quantifiers
Authors: Ahn Dorothy , Ko Heejeong
Published: January 2022

Since the Conservativity Universal (Barwise & Cooper 1981; Keenan & Stavi 1986) has been proposed for natural language determiners, several apparent counterexamples have been presented in the literature. Some of these, such as English only in Only students presented, have been argued to involve an adverbial structure, thus not violating Conservativity. In this paper, we focus on proportional quantifiers such as 70% in Korean, which have been shown to have a non- conservative reading when floated out of the DP (Ahn & Sauerland 2017). While Ahn & Sauerland (2017) assume that floated quantifiers are adnominal, Korean floated quantifiers have been shown to have both adnominal and adverbial variants (Ko 2014), thus leaving open the possibility that the non-conservative reading is simply resulting from an adverbial structure, like only. We test out the predictions of the adnominal and the adverbial accounts of non-conservative quantifiers in Korean. Our results show that floating quantifiers in non-conservative contexts a) cannot be definite-marked, and b) cannot be intervened by a vP-internal (low) adverbial, both of which are predicted if the non-conservative quantifier is adnominal, but not if it is adverbial. Based on these findings, we conclude that the non-conservative proportional quantifiers in Korean involve adnominal floating quantifiers. Our study thus makes a novel case for the claim that syntactic movement can be implicated in order to explain a non-conservative construal of a quantifier in languages under the Conservativity Universal.
The Federal Reserve's New Framework: Context and Consequences
Authors: Clarida Richard H.
Published: January 2022

This paper discusses the Federal Reserve's new framework and highlights some important policy implications that flow from the revised consensus statement and the new strategy. In particular, it first discusses the factors that motivated the Federal Reserve in November 2018 to announce it would undertake in 2019 the first-ever public review of its monetary policy strategy, tools, and communication practices. It then considers the major findings of the review as codified in our new Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy and highlights some important policy implications that flow from them.

Authors: Ehlers VU , Kohler CF , Lütge E , Tefera A , Clarke DL , Buccimazza I
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The current surgical workload assessments in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) are inadequate to inform strategies to improve surgical services. Breast diseases have a well-defined spectrum and surgical treatment options, analysis of which could guide health policy in the field. This project aimed to quantify and analyse the operative workload for breast pathology in KZN METHOD: A retrospective review of breast-related operations conducted at public sector hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal province between 1 July and 31 December 2015 was undertaken. Data was collected from theatre operative registers and manually categorised as follows: sepsis, benign pathology, malignant pathology, and by hospital, according to geographic location, and complexity of care to determine factors to improve the service for breast care in the province RESULTS: In the 6-month study period, 13 282 general surgical procedures were performed of which 776 (5.8%) were breast-related operations. There were 372 (47.9%) operations for breast sepsis, 140 (18%) for benign breast lesions, 17 (2.2%) for cosmetic indications and 27 (3.5%) for diagnostic procedures. There were 223 (28.7%) procedures for non-benign disease: 21 (2.6%) wide local excisions (WLE), 203 (26.2%) mastectomies of which 161 (72.2%) mastectomies had an axillary lymph node dissection and 26 (11.7%) were performed as onco-plastic procedures. Hospitals in the Durban and Pietermaritzburg metropolitan areas performed 75% of the breast-related procedures. The majority (69.6%) of sepsis-related procedures were performed at secondary/regional facilities, while 58.3% of non-benign breast surgeries were performed at tertiary and quaternary centres CONCLUSION: Breast sepsis accounts for almost 50% of the surgery and is mainly dealt with at hospitals above district level. One-third of breast surgery in KZN province is for non-benign disease. There is a paucity of breast-conserving surgery. Elucidation of these observations can guide improvement in the provincial breast care service Keywords: breast surgery, breast pathology, breast cancer, general surgery
A fourteen-year audit of surgery for inflammatory bowel disease at a tertiary colorectal unit
Authors: Chonco SM , Mtetwa PN , Naidoo M , Naidoo VG , Madiba TE
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In South Africa, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing in frequency. The purpose of the study was to document our experience with the surgical management of patients with IBD and describe the cohort undergoing surgical management of IBD in a KwaZulu-Natal province tertiary state sector hospital METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a database of patients undergoing surgery for IBD. Demographics, site and disease duration, surgical indications, management and outcome were analysed RESULTS: Of 397 patients with IBD, 136 had Crohn's disease (Cd) (African 13, Indian 78, Coloured 10 and White 35) and 261 had ulcerative colitis (UC) (African 67, Indian 158, Coloured 9 and White 27). Eighty-six of 136 patients with CD required surgical referral. Ileo-colonic CD was most common and non-stricturing/non-penetrating disease behaviour predominated. Seventy-four patients with CD underwent 76 abdominal surgical procedures with in-hospital mortality of 3.5% and a morbidity of 20.9%. Twenty patients required anorectal fistula procedures. Recurrence occurred in nine patients (10.5%) and malignant transformation was seen in three patients (2.2%). One hundred and sixty-three of the 261 patients with UC had pancolitis. Failed medical management was the most common indication for surgical referral. Fifty-one patients with UC had surgery, (age 44.5 [IQR 27-56] years). Forty-five patients underwent 63 abdominal surgical procedures with an overall mortality of 17.7% and a morbidity of 39.2%. Colorectal cancer was seen in 10 patients (3.8%). Laparoscopic procedures were undertaken in eight CD patients (10.8%) and 29 UC patients (39%). The median hospital stay was 7 days for both open and laparoscopic resection CONCLUSION: IBD is not uncommon in African patients, with UC being more frequent than CD. Postoperative mortality and potential for malignant transformation are higher for UC Keywords: inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, surgical management
Costs of managing castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer patients at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital
Authors: Gabela NC , Bhadree S , Mathibe LJ
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has a five-year survival rate of 30% despite the availability of expensive therapeutic agents. This study investigated the costs to a tertiary public hospital of the management of mCRPC with various therapeutic agents METHODS: Between 1 January 2017 and 24 November 2019 the records of patients who were diagnosed with mCRPC and received chemotherapy (docetaxel) in combination with goserelin (a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH]), or bicalutemide (an anti-androgen) at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital were analysed. The activity-based costing (ABC) model was used to calculate the medicine costs and other expenses incurred by the hospital RESULTS: During the study period, 64 patients, mean age 66 years (± 8.7) at first visit, met the inclusion criteria of this study. The total cost incurred by the hospital was R10 338 559. On average, a total of R161 540 (SEM R22 699.00) per patient was incurred by the hospital. There was 60% reduction (p = 0.01), after the average period of 4 months (± 2.9), in PSA levels in patients who received goserelin monotherapy CONCLUSION: The therapeutic gain from extremely expensive therapy in mCRPC patients requires evaluation of clinical response and survival data to justify the expense Keywords: prostate cancer, prostate-specific antigen, chemotherapy, activity-based costing
Laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing for paediatric inguinal hernias: a South African tertiary centre experience
Authors: Madziba S , Harilal S , Mangray H
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is routine in many paediatric centres. One of several techniques described in 2006 is the laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) technique. This technique which is not widely used in South Africa has been adopted for paediatric inguinal hernias at our institution, and this is a review of the experience METHOD: The study is a retrospective review of the patients who underwent PIRS (a single port combined percutaneous procedure used to close the internal ring) at our hospital from October 2018 until March 2020. We describe the technique in our setting and review our cohort of patients, demographics, clinical presentation, operative duration and complications RESULTS: One hundred and ten laparoscopic PIRS procedures were performed on 94 patients; 15 had bilateral inguinal hernias. Polydioxanone and Prolene were the sutures used for the procedures. Average operative time was 12 minutes for unilateral hernias and 33 minutes for bilateral hernias. All operations were completed laparoscopically. Follow-up was for a minimum of three months, but up to 21 months. Complications included three intraoperative haematomas, three hydrocoeles and two umbilical granulomas postoperatively. There were two recurrent hernias of which one was managed with redo PIRS; the other required open herniotomy for an irreducible obstructed hernia CONCLUSION: This review is supportive evidence that the PIRS technique for managing paediatric inguinal hernias in a tertiary institution in South Africa can be performed safely with few complications Supplementary video available online: http://sajs.redbricklibrary.com/index.php/sajs/article/view/3498 Keywords: inguinal hernia, paediatric, laparoscopy, percutaneous internal ring suturing
MT Steyn: ’n Moderne Christen-Afrikanerleier?
Authors: Strauss P
Published: January 2022

Die waardering vir president MT Steyn onder sy mense het weerklink in beskrywings waarmee hulle hom gekarakteriseer het, soos "Afrikaner van die Afrikaners" en "siel van die Vryheidstryd". Steyn (1896-1902) was die laaste president van die Republiek van die Oranje-Vrystaat, maar die eerste een wat in dié onafhanklike Boererepubliek gebore is. Omstanders kon sy belydenis van God Drie-enig as die Driemaal Heilige God uit sy eie mond hoor. Hy het sy taak, waaronder die Vrystaat se deelname aan die Anglo-Boereoorlog, in die geloof aangepak. Sy reaksie op probleme was gegrond op Christelike lewenswaarhede. Hoewel hy soms in onpersoonlike, onsydige terme na God verwys het, sou dit hom nie verhinder om die Bybel as gids vir die lewe te aanvaar nie. Vanuit sy agtergrond as 'n Vrystaatse boerseun sou Steyn 'n spontane band met die Afrikaner en veral die Vrystaatse Afrikaner ontwikkel. Deur studie en opleiding as 'n Afrikaner uit Afrika in Nederland en Brittanje, asook deur sy vriendskap met bekende Engelse van Bloemfontein en sy werk as 'n Vrystaatse regter, sou Steyn ontwikkel in 'n moderne, belese en berese staatsman. Hierdie Vrystaatse president het gedurende sy ampstydperk (1896-1902) getoon dat hy deeglik op hoogte was van Suid-Afrikaanse en Westerse denkrigtings en dat hy sy eie posisie as Vrystater in hierdie opsig na binne en buite kon verantwoord. Steyn se optrede as president op nasionale sowel as internasionale vlak is deurgaans gerig deur die beginsel van reg en geregtigheid. Hy was uitgesproke Afrikaans, maar met lewensruimte vir ander groepe. Daarby was hy 'n voorstander van die strukturele gelykwaardigheid van state, ongeag hulle mag of vermoë. Steyn se sentrale lewenskompas is op die Vrouemonument aangebring: "Uw wil geschiede …".
Die noodsaak van bevoegde onderwysers in elke Suid-Afrikaanse skoolklaskamer
Authors: Beckmann J
Published: January 2022

Goeie onderwys kan beskou word as die belangrikste funksie van die staat. Kinders kan nie sukses in die lewe behaal sonder onderwys nie en die basiese instellings van 'n staat kan ineenstort sonder goeie onderwys (vgl. Thro 2005; Nkomo 2021). 'n Verslag van die Wêreld Ekonomiese Forum (2013) het bevind dat Suid-Afrika se onderwysstelsel die derde swakste van al die geëvalueerde lande gevaar het. Die jongste ewekniestudies oor aspekte van die onderwys bevestig almal dat Suid-Afrika groot uitdagings in die gesig staar, hoewel daar tog geringe vordering te bespeur is (Department of Basic Education 2017). Die beskikbaarheid van bevoegde leerkragte word as as een van die grootste uitdagings van die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwyssstelsel gesien. Die pedagogiese en vakinhoudelike kennis van die meeste onderwysers is swak en is die hoofrede vir swak leerderprestasie. Verskeie redes kan vir hierdie onbevoegdheid aangevoer word. Meta-analiste soos Hanushek en Hattie het bevind dat iemand wat oplossings vir onderwysprobleme soek in die eerste plek na die gehalte van onderwysers moet kyk. In hierdie artikel ondersoek ek die implikasies van hulle sienings en in besonder hulle bevindings dat mens "prosaiëse" ekonomiese waardes aan onderwysers se bydraes kan heg. Nuwe uitdagings wat aan onderwysers gestel word deur die Covid-19-virus nou, en ook wanneer die onderwysstelsel na die pandemie herstel ("reset"), sal in berekening gebring moet word. Die koronavirus en die afloop daarvan sal waarskynlik saam met die huidige probleme met die gehalte van onderwys die aanstelling van bevoegde onderwysers ononderhandelbaar maak.
Die waarde van persoonlike vertelling in Afrikaans Huistaal in die Nasionale Kurrikulum en Assesseringsbeleidsverklaring
Authors: Van Der Vyver C
Published: January 2022

Storievertelling word wêreldwyd aangewend om individue op 'n informele wyse te onderrig. Persoonlike vertellings of lewensverhale is 'n onderafdeling van storievertelling as groter fenomeen en hierdie persoonlike lewensverhale kan suksesvol as onderrigstrategie ingespan word. In hierdie verband het McAdams (2001:101) bevind dat lewensverhale veral belangrik is as uitdrukking van die individu se identiteit en hom of haar sodoende help om sin te maak van persoonlike ervarings. Storievertelling is dus 'n uitdrukking van identiteit, want om die storie van 'n mens se lewe te vertel, help jou om sin te maak van jou ervarings en kweek 'n gevoel van self, oftewel "wie ek is". Dit is gevolglik baie belangrik dat leerders van 'n vroeë ouderdom af blootgestel word aan en opleiding ontvang in lewensverhaalvertellings. Hierdie blootstelling lei daartoe dat leerders geleidelik daaraan gewoond gemaak word om as 't ware die storie van hul lewe aan ander te vertel. Op hierdie manier verseker blootstelling aan die deel van persoonllike lewensverhale dat individuele leerlinge nie geïntimideer sal voel deur dergelike aktiwiteite wanneer hulle die ouderdom bereik waar die stories van hul persoonlike belewenisse met vertroue vertel kan word nie. Daar is daarom veral gekyk na die Kurrikulum en Assesseringsbeleidsverklaring (KABV) om vas te stel of daar in die KABV voldoende ruimte geskep is om leerders vanaf 'n vroeë ouderdom bloot te stel aan lewensverhale. Daar is ook ondersoek ingestel of hierdie blootstelling en opleiding in die vertel van lewensverhale toeneem totdat leerders in vroeë adolessensie spontaan en met selfvertroue hulle persoonlike stories aan ander kan vertel.

IRSA (Interpreting Research in South Africa) is 'n omvattende databasis wat bestaan uit 279 bronne oor tolknavorsing in Suid-Afrika of wat deur Suid-Afrikaanse tolknavorsers geproduseer is. IRSA sluit publikasies vanuit die tydperk 1968 tot 2020 in en poog om so inklusief en omvattend moontlik te wees. IRSA het ten doel om die vertrek- en sentraleverwysingspunt vir navorsing oor tolking in Suid-Afrika te wees deur die relevante wetenskaplike publikasies gratis en op een plek beskikbaar te stel. Hierdie artikel bied 'n oorsig oor a) die totstandkoming en ontwikkeling van só 'n databasis met klem op die werkwyse wat toegepas is om die akkuraatheid van die databasis te verseker, b) die publikasies wat by IRSA ingesluit is en die oorhoofse navorsingstendense wat sedert 1968 waargeneem word, en c) die toekoms, instandhouding en voordele wat IRSA vir tolknavorsers in Suid-Afrika kan inhou.
Die ontwikkeling en komplekse samehange van die huidige vier bande van Foucault se Histoire de la sexualité
Authors: Beükes J
Published: January 2022

Hierdie artikel bied 'n toeganklike oorsig van die ontwikkeling en komplekse samehange van die huidige vier bande van Michel Foucault (1926-1984) se seksualiteitsgeskiedenis in die reeks Histoire de la sexualité, gepubliseer by Gallimard in Parys. Die eerste band is in 1976 en die tweede en derde in 1984 met Foucault as alleenskrywer gepubliseer, en die vierde band (Les aveux de la chair) het in Februarie 2018 onder redakteurskap van Frédéric Gros gevolg. Les aveux de la chair se huidige status (met inbegrip van die skrywer van hierdie artikel se voorbehoude daaroor) in die reeks en Foucault se groter oeuvre word inleidend aangedui, waarna 'n gedetailleerde oorsig volg van die tematies-chronologiese ontwikkeling van die drie vroeër gepubliseerde bande (La volonté de savoir [gelees met die manuskrip van La chair et le corps, wat waarskynlik geredigeer sal word om as vyfde band in die reeks te dien], L 'usage des plaisirs en Le souci de soi) en die koppeling van hierdie tekste met Les aveux de la chair. 'n Tabel waarin die tematiese en chronologiese samehange tussen die huidige vier en minstens nog twee beoogde bande in die reeks uiteengesit word, word as deel van die gevolgtrekking aangebied.
Die bepaling van ons mees geliefde Afrikaanse kerklied - 'n metodiese ondersoek
Authors: Els G
Published: January 2022

In hierdie artikel word 'n uiteensetting gegee van die proses en die resultate van die gebruik van 'n self-geadministreerde aanlyn opname en vraelys om die mees "geliefde" kerklied in Afrikaanssprekende gemeentes in Suid-Afrika te bepaal. Daar word aandag gegee aan aspekte soos die keuse van metode, steekproefneming van respondente, vraelysontwerp en die statistiese ontleding van response. Sommige van die risikoverminderingstrategieë wat die navorser gebruik, word ook uitgelig. Uit die ontleding van die data is dit duidelik dat gemeentes 'n voorkeur toon vir kerkliedere uit die Liedboek en Psalmboek, maar dat daar duidelik ook 'n liefde is vir liedere uit beide die VONKK- en FLAM-genre. Dit is verder ook duidelik dat die Psalms (al is dit net 'n paar) in die amptelike Afrikaanse Liedboek steeds 'n belangrike rol speel in die spiritualiteit van baie van die Afrikaanssprekende gemeentes in Suider-Afrika. Hierdie artikel dra by tot die metodologiese debat in die navorsingsveld van kerkmusiek.

There is a general perception that majority of parents delay seeking oral health care services for their children. However,the reasons for this health seeking behaviour and the related contributing factors are poorly understood. Aims To investigate the parental factors that influence delayed dental care for their children. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional survey that was conducted at MEDUNSA Oral Health Centre and other oral health facilities within Tshwane oral health district. Parents of children 12 year and younger participated in the study. Results The average age of 350 parents and children in the study was 36.94 (±9.40) and 6.31 (±2.38) years respectively. Most parents were female 315 (90.0%), unemployed 281 (80.3%) and reached high school education 281 (80.3%). The association between gender, age, employment and dmft with delayed dental treatment for children was not statistically significant. Parents considered acute medical conditions as urgent compared to dental pain and conditions (OR =1.27). Regular use of home remedies and medications exacerbated delayed dental visits for children, irrespective of the problem. Conclusion Parental attitude and perception of oral health contribute delayed dental visits by children. Majority of parents resorted to alternative remedies such as self-medication in managing children`s oral health pain and conditions instead of seeking oral health care for their children.

In the wake of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, many countries in the world instituted various protocols to limit the spread of the disease and to reduce the burden on health care facilities. However, the unintended consequences of these restrictions included the reduction of human mobility, limited access to health care services, resulting in delayed or missed medical treatment. Aims The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown restriction on maxillofacial services. Methodology This retrospective and descriptive study of patient’s clinical records, spanned from October 2019 to August 2020.This period included the pre-lockdown (October –December 2019) and the different lockdown (levels 5,4, and 3) periods. Complete clinical patient records were included for analysis. Results The study revealed a 88%, 86%, and 45% decline in maxillofacial and oral surgery consultations during levels 5, 4 and 3 respectively. Third molar impaction related complaints such as pericoronitis, pain and sepsis werethe predominant consultation motives during all levels of lockdown periods. Gender and age of patients had no impact on the consultation rates during the course of the study. Conclusion The Covid-19 pandemic related lockdown restrictions affected the service provision for maxillofacial patients seen at this institution.
Antecedentes del slapstick en la comedia de Menandro: Lanzamiento de objetos, golpes, tropezones y caídas cómicas
Authors: Schere Jimena
Published: January 2022

La literatura griega registra antecedentes de los recursos propios del slapstick (golpes, caídas, tropezones, lanzamiento de objetos, lesiones cómicas) en diversos géneros como la épica, la poesía yámbica, la fábula y la comedia. La comedia de Menandro, en particular El Misántropo, hace uso profuso de esta serie de tópicos del humor físico para caracterizar al anciano Cnemón, su personaje central. En varias de sus obras, el slapstick se asocia específicamente al personajetipo del anciano gruñón. El Misántropo retoma claramente el uso punitivo tradicional del recurso, que resulta dominante en la comedia de Aristófanes, en cuanto el slapstick apunta a castigar y transformar la conducta antisocial de Cnemón. No se trata de un recurso asociado al mero entretenimiento, sino que condena a su víctima mediante el escarnio de la agresión y la risa, o bien a su victimario cuando ejerce una violencia descontextualizada, como lo hace el misántropo.

Authors: Narodova E. A. , Shnayder N. A. , Karnaukhov V. E. , Narodova V. V.
Published: January 2022

Background. Non-pharmacological methods of palliative therapy for structural focal epilepsy (SFE) have been extensively investigated. Development of self-care methods based on behavioral psychotherapy and reference bioadaptation is a promising and economically justified approach.

Objective: to present a clinical case of administering EpiTapp application based on the author-proposed wrist tapping method for palliative care in adult SFE.

Material and methods. The author-proposed method of wrist tapping (RF patent No. 2606489 of 01.10.2017) for a smartphone Android OS application was used. Wrist tapping was performed during the period of aura and/or focal seizures (FS) in patients with SFE. Patients used the smartphone application as an element of emergency palliative therapy for SFE outpatient settings.

Results. Patient L., 33 years old, suffering from SFE with frequent FS and bilateral seizures (BS), received duotherapy in the preoperative period. The woman used the EpiTapp application regularly that allowed to reduce FS rate by 65%, as well as prevent BS development without altering the antiepileptic therapy regimen.

Сonclusion. The experience of using the EpiTapp application based on the author-proposed method of wrist tapping has demonstrated that it holds promise for SFE palliative therapy. The proposed technique requires additional research to confirm its effectiveness.
The Era of Digitalization: Anglicisms or their French Equivalents? (On the Example of Modern French).
Authors: Nogaeva V. U.
Published: January 2022

Profound changes in the way of life are accompanied by profound changes in the language. As living matter that serves as the main means of communication, any changes that take place in society are reflected in the language at the level of vocabulary. The objective of this article is to examine the problem of the active spread of Anglicisms in modern French, in particular, in the field of digital technologies. An attempt is made to consider the governments’ language intervention, the measures taken by the French government to regulate the use of borrowings in order to preserve linguistic identity, an analysis of Englishisms and their French equivalents is carried out. Cases of their use are discussed with specific examples taken from official French online sources, in order to determine the degree of assimilation of Anglicisms in modern French. The analysis allows us to conclude that France cannot stay away from the ongoing processes and is actively using English borrowings in the media instead of the existing French equivalents
International Legal Protection of the Atmosphere and Ozone Layer: the Continuation of the History
Authors: Sokolova N. А.
Published: January 2022

The article examines the evolution of international legal regulation of atmospheric air from transboundary pollution over long distances both in connection with the formation of international judicial practice and a series of protocols that developed the 1979 Convention, specifying its content. On the one hand, we are talking about the search for criteria for fulfilling obligations through the concept of “critical load”. On the other hand, it is about clarifying substances and processes for which special regulation is introduced to increase the likelihood of preventing pollution.The protection of the atmosphere is also relevant to the protection of the ozone layer, provided not only through the fulfillment of obligations under the 1985 Convention, but mainly through the Montreal Protocol of 1987, which is achieved not only by more specific obligations, but also by a compliance procedure. If initially, within the framework of the international legal protection of atmospheric air and the protection of the ozone layer, the principles of international environmental law were only declared, then with the adoption of the protocols they received confirmation of their implementation. Strengthening such important principles such as no harm outside national jurisdiction, precaution, common but differentiated responsibility
Réplica a: validación cruzada sobre una misma muestra: una práctica sin fundamento
Authors: Rey-Sáez Ricardo
Published: January 2022

La práctica de validación cruzada sobre una misma muestra es un procedimiento habitual en la investigación aplicada, y se sugiere que no debe ser aplicada porque el contraste que se está realizando finalmente no es el adecuado. Es cierto que su aplicación conlleva ciertas consecuencias, pero ahondar en ellas puede ser más beneficioso que intentar establecer reglas de oro. El conocimiento en profundidad de qué se está utilizando para conseguir un determinado objetivo de investigación (funcionalidad y limitaciones) unido al contexto habitual en investigación aplicada (escasez de recursos) puede ayudar a los investigadores a ver hasta dónde pueden llevar sus conclusiones. Por tanto, en lugar de "validación cruzada: sí o no", se plantean algunos aspectos que deben tenerse en consideración, siendo finalmente obligación del investigador aplicado el justificar adecuadamente la ejecución de una validación cruzada en la misma muestra.
Protection of the Rights of Obligations
Authors: Zhmaeva Elena S.
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the study of protecting the rights of obligations. The study aims to resolve the question of whether the possibility of protection is provided for in Article 302 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation to the rights of obligations. In addition, the author examines the question of whether it is advisable to introduce the protection of a bona fide acquirer of the right of obligations in the framework of an assignment similar to the protection in the form of a vindication. The analysis of judicial practice illustrates that at present the acquirer of the right of obligation under an assignment agreement does not have access to the entire scope of protection provided by law to the acquirer of the thing itself. To answer these questions, the author turns to the theory of binding rights as objects of civil rights. The author concludes that the obstacle to claiming the rights of obligations is the absence of the concepts of ownership of the right and a bona fide acquirer of the right for the turnover of the rights of obligations, both at the level of the law and in the doctrine. The author addresses whether it is possible to own the law of obligations. In connection with his consideration of this issue, the author touches upon the theory of the visibility of law. Based on the analysis of the relevant theory and practice of law enforcement, the author concludes that the category of domination is unsuitable for binding rights, as well as that possession, in its classical sense, is not applicable for binding rights. The author emphasizes that, in the absence of direct legislative regulation, it is not possible to resolve the issue of applying a vindication claim to the rights of obligations. The paper presents arguments in favor of the conclusion that it is now necessary to introduce the protection of the law of obligations (including the right of claim) in a manner similar to the protection provided for in Article 302 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The author anticipates the development of an appropriate mechanism, considering the peculiarities of the rights of obligations as an object of civil rights, and the inapplicability of the theory of the appearance of law for such a mechanism, as a perspective for resolving this issue.
Criminal Procedure Terms: Innovations of Constitutional Interpretation and Conflicts of Judicial and Investigative Practice
Authors: Kovtun Nikolay N.
Published: January 2022

The subject of the analysis in this work is the rules for the exact calculation and extension of procedural terms, especially those established for the application of procedural coercion measures that significantly limit the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings in Russia. Exploring the gaps and contradictions of the normative regulation, the author, using specific examples of judicial and investigative practice, shows what serious and negative, in fact, collisions these gaps lead to in practice; evaluates and proposes options for eliminating or minimizing these collisions.
