Published: December 2023

Background:With the increase in life expectancy, in India the population of menopausal women are increasing but there is no current health policy
regarding menopausal health. Menopause is associated with multiple physical and psychological symptoms.Menopausal health demands priority
in Indian scenario as most are either unaware or do not pay adequate attention to menopausal symptoms. Therefore, menopause now is a concerning
matter to maintain and improve women's health. Aims And Objectives: The study is designed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP)
regarding menopause among menopausal women. Study Design: A cross-sectional, hospital-based survey was conducted in women attending
Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Lalla ded hospital, Government Medical College Srinagar. Materials And Methods: A total of 300
subjects were enrolled and subjected for interview using prevalidated KAP(knowledge, attitude and practice) questionnaire consisting of 19 items ,
developed on the basis of the objective of the study. Results:Atotal of 300 women responded to questionnaire, in these most were between 45 and
55 years of age. The mean age of women was 53.17±6.61and majority (142; 47.33%) were belonging to rural area and were illiterate (140; 46.66%)
.In the present study majority of the menopausal women had poor score of KAP(knowledge, attitude and practice) regarding menopause.26.33% of
menopausal women had knowledge of menopausal symptoms. 16%, 27.66% and 9% knew that menopause increases risk of cardiovascular,
osteoporosis and breast cancer respectively.63% of menopausal women perceive menopause as loss of youth.Common symptoms that the study
subjects suffered were feeling tired 71%, mood changes 56.66%,hot ashes and sweating 37.66%,muscle and joint pains 41%, dryness of vagina
33%, urinary symptoms 30.34%, sexual problems 27.66%. Conclusions: Our study shows that the level of good knowledge about menopause was
signicantly low among menopausal women, majority of women have a negative outlook towards menopause considering as a loss of youth.This
shows that the awareness towards menopause should be increased by IEC (information, education, and counseling), so as to help these women to
live their postmenopausal years more healthy and active.

Published: December 2023

Intussusception is found to be a cause of bowel obstructions in 1% adults cases diagnosed with intestinal obstruction. Unlike in children, where
intussusception is most often idiopathic in nature, malignancy is the most common etiology identied in adults. Symptoms are usually nonspecic, but timely identication and management is crucial in reducing the morbidity and mortality as there are high rates of carcinomatous lesion
to be present as the lead point of intussusception. Here we present a rare case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix that presented as
ileocolic intussusception.

Authors: Mayani Mitunkumar , Mishra Smitirupa , Jain Rohit
Published: December 2023

Background: Diagnosis and sub-typing of soft tissue tumors into clinically and prognostically relevant entities is a great challenge to the
pathologist but proper morphological study combined with IHC studies can help in accurate subtyping and further treatment of the patients.
Application IHC panel in a stepwise manner is required specially in sarcomas to identify differentiation in the neoplastic cells. Methods:Atotal of
324 cases of soft tissue tumors were collected and evaluated. Morphological grouping of STTs by cell type followed by application of antibody
panel was carried out to accurately diagnose and subtype the cases according to The 2020 WHO classication. 33% of cases required IHC for a
conclusive diagnosis. Results: In our study of 324 cases of STTs, 67% cases achieved diagnosis by histology and 33% cases required IHC and
1.85% cases were further referred for higher technology studies. Tumors of adipocytic group were most common (29.62%) followed by Tumors of
broblastic and myobroblastic group (19.75%), Tumors of vascular origin(16.66%) and nerve sheath tumors(11.11%). Conclusion: IHC plays
an important role in giving precise diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. However, microscopic evaluation of majority of tumors on H&E stained sections
could help in reaching the diagnosis. IHC was done wherever light microscopy was inconclusive for perfect diagnosis and correct therapeutic
management of patients.

Imenovanje Alojzija Stepinca nadbiskupom koadjutorom Zagrebačke nadbiskupije
Authors: Pelicarić Neven
Published: December 2023

U članku autor istražuje tijek postupka potrage za podobnim kandidatom za nasljednika nadbiskupa zagrebačkoga mons. Antuna Bauera početkom tridesetih godina 20. stoljeća na dosad nekorištenom arhivskom gradivu koje se čuva u Povijesnom arhivu Sekcije za odnose s državama Državnoga tajništva Svete Stolice. Autor daje prikaz crkvenoga stanja u Kraljevini SHS u vremenu nakon Velikoga rata, kao i sukoba u odnosima Svete Stolice i novih vlasti u Beogradu, osobito glede valjanosti konkordata koji su bili sklopljeni u vrijeme trajanja Habsburške i Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Također se razrađuje uloga biskupa u različitim oblicima njihove službe. U analizi neuobičajenoga i vrlo dugotrajnoga postupka imenovanja nadbiskupa koadjutora, koji je zatražio nadbiskup Bauer, prikazano je stanje Zagrebačke nadbiskupije u tom razdoblju, kao i činjenica da je papa Pio XI. imenovao čak dvojicu prezbitera novim nadbiskupima, u jednom slučaju jedinstvenim “uvjetnim” imenovanjem. Opisani su i razlozi zbog kojih ta dva imenovanja nisu uspjela, te se je u trenutku teškoga i opasnoga zdravstvenoga stanja nadbiskupa Bauera pribjeglo neočekivanomu imenovanju do tada nepoznatoga prezbitera, koji je i postao nadbiskupom koadjutorom zagrebačkim.

Istraživački projekti o informacijskim i baštinskim izvorima nastalima u hrvatskim zajednicama u dijaspori proteklih godina sve su prisutniji u hrvatskom znanstvenom prostoru. Ovaj je rad doprinos nastojanjima rasvjetljivanja sadržaja i važnosti izvora koji su neophodni u istraživanju povijesti i sadašnjosti hrvatskoga iseljeništva. Izložena je kratka povijest crkvenih arhiva te osvrti na Hrvatsku katoličku župu Sv. Ante u Los Angelesu i hrvatsku zajednicu koja se je od osnutka župe 1910. godine oko nje okupljala. Drugi dio rada objašnjava ulogu crkvenoga arhiva na primjeru župe Sv. Ante u odnosu na zajednicu, daje analizu njegove strukture i važnosti te donosi osvrt na metodologiju provedenoga i u radu prikazanoga istraživanja. Potom se sadržajnom analizom dokumentacijskih cjelina ukazuje na vrijednost arhivskih izvora za istraživanje povijesti hrvatske zajednice u Los Angelesu. Do sada je arhivsko gradivo župe Sv. Ante u stručnoj i znanstvenoj javnosti bio nepoznat, stoga je doprinos ovoga rada i u otkrivanju hrvatskoga kulturnoga i arhivskoga nasljeđa u dijaspori.

Authors: Banić Monika
Published: December 2023

U radu su opisani problemi i postupak arhivističkoga sređivanja dijela gradiva koje je nastalo radom Odjela za agrarnu reformu i kolonizaciju u okviru Ministarstva poljoprivrede i šumarstva NRH (1945.-1947.) i njegova sljednika Ministarstva poljoprivrede NRH (1947.-1951.). Gradivo je izdvojeno u poseban fond (HR-HDA-1167. Ministarstvo poljoprivrede NRH. Odjel za agrarnu reformu i kolonizaciju) te se u radu problematizira sređivanje jedne od njegovih serija (HR-HDA-1167.6. Provedba agrarne reforme), koja sadrži odluke oblasnih, okružnih, kotarskih i gradskih komisija dostavljane spomenutim ministarstvima te odluke koje su vezano za svoju nadležnost donijeli Ministarstvo poljoprivrede i šumarstva i njegov sljednik Ministarstvo poljoprivrede u razdoblju 1945.-1951. godine. Nakon detaljnoga uvida u navedenu seriju fonda utvrđeno je da je, radi postizanja ujednačenije strukture gradiva koja bi rezultirala lakšim pretraživanjem odluka, u njemu potrebno napraviti veće intervencije. Rad govori o razlozima za djelomičnu izmjenu postojeće strukture, tijeku rada na seriji fonda i pronađenim rješenjima za sređivanje s uputama za pretraživanje.
The Budapest time machine
Authors: Kenyeres István
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the history of the development of the Budapest Time Machine (www.hungaricana.hu/en/budapest-time-machine), which started from the vision of the Venice Time Machine, despite the fact that it was never realised, but was the basis for the European Time Machine Initiative. The Budapest Time Machine was a visionary phenomenon from the moment of its debut, and it has maintained this position ever since: one of the flagships of the international Time Machine initiative from the very beginning. The development was launched by the Budapest City Archives in 2017. The background database of the Budapest Time Machine is the Hungarian public collection portal called Hungaricana, on which the Budapest City Archives continuously publishes a large amount of digitised archival sources (maps, blueprints, notarial deeds etc.). The interface of the Budapest Time Machine – whose first version was developed in 2017 provides digitized and georeferenced maps of Budapest, synchronized with each other using GPS coordinates, and vectorised historical maps of the city’s development in five different time sections (1837, 1872, 1908, 1916, 1938). The platform also allows browsing through historical documents related to the buildings, their owners or their former inhabitants: building plans, land registry inserts showing the owners, notarial deeds showing legal and administrative transactions of the period and the network of the inhabitants. Archival photographs and postcards are also easily searchable, either by address or by browsing the map. The Budapest Time Machine was completely renewed at the end of 2022. The advantage of the new version is that, unlike the previous version, it provides a single interface for accessing the data, and the maps can now be viewed in 3D. An important innovation is the publication of 3D historical reconstructions of some 30 buildings in cooperation with the University of Óbuda. The Budapest Time Machine is an example of collaboration between public collections and academic research, and we plan to include data created by NGOs in the future.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To determine prevalence of Aerobic Vaginitis (AV) after gynecologic surgery, risk factors and antimicrobial resistance of responsible pathogens, and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: Multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 in fifteen medical clinics from eight regions of Ukraine. Smears were analyzed using Donders’ classification method and Dong’s modified AV diagnosis for Gram stains. Definitions of HAIs were adapted from the CDC/NHSN. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of bacteria was determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test according to the protocol of the EUCAST.
Results: Prevalence of AV among women’s undergoing gynecologic surgery in Ukraine was 68.7%. Of the total AV cases, 70.3% were in non-pregnant and 29,7% in pregnant women. The most common pathogen of AV was Escherichia coli, followed by Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the S. aureus strains, 11,6% of MRSA (Methicillin resistant S.aureus) were isolated whereas none of the CoNS were cefoxitin resistant. History of vaginal infection, history of post-operative infection and antibiotic use acted as an important risk factor of AV incidence rate. The presence of AV worsened pregnancy outcomes, by increasing the incidence of preterm birth, the premature rupture of membranes, miscarriage, neonatal jaundice, and neonatal infection.
Conclusions: Aerobic Vaginitis after gynecological surgeries in Ukraine is a common medical problem in women that is associated with significant morbidity, adverse pregnancy outcome, and hence frequent medical visits.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To estimate risks and prevalence of self-medication and potential abuse risk among pharmacy students in Jordanian Universities.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted with 450 students, selected using multistage sampling methods, from seven different universities. Data was collected by self-administrated questionnaires covering demographic and academic information, health-related information, use of self-medication, and pattern of self-medication among pharmacy students. Results: Out of 394 students who answer the questions, 76.9% reported that they had usually treated themselves in case of simple cases without physician or pharmacist consultation. Most commonly used drugs among the surveyed students were Paracetamol 60%, multivitamins supplement 74.25%, and herbal products 37.2%, combination of NSAIDs and Paracetamol 20.6%, and laxatives 19.4%. Cold and flu 25.5%, headache 22.3%, abdominal pain 7.9%, gastric pain 7.9%, cold and flu, headache, abdominal pain, and gastric pain 14.9% were the main conditions which contribute to self-medication practice. It was also found that Pharmacy students were over-confident with the type of cases they could treat without referral to a specialist physician, despite knowing that some of the symptoms may be due to serious health problems. Misuse of analgesics and laxatives was clear, and there was a weakness in knowledge of the indications for the use of the most common drug.
Conclusions: The prevalence of self-medication among pharmacy students in Jordan is high, and medical teaching institutions need to educate students about the proper use of medicines. Strict legislation and more education on self-medication are necessary for effective use of medicines.

Materials and Methods: To study the morphology and microelement composition of the enamel, scanning electron microscopy was performed using the MiraLM microscope equipped with a Schottky field emission electron gun from Tescan.
Results: A comparative analysis between the areas subjected to mechanical cleaning and those where it was not applied revealed a significant difference in the research results, particularly in carbon, which changed from 25.16±1.04 to 32.02±1.8. An analysis of the enamel’s chemical composition before and after whitening revealed a decrease in carbon from 45.91±1.20 to 42.46±1.74. The change in phosphorus content was determined to be from 9.77±0.39 to 9.56±0.75. A decrease in calcium from 15.96±0.64 to 15.21±1.22 and magnesium from 0.07±0.01 to 0.01±0.01 was also observed.
Conclusions: Professional dental hygiene does not have a direct impact on the microelement composition of enamel, such as the levels of calcium, phosphorus, fluoride, and other microelements. However, it can have an indirect and temporary influence due to the use of abrasive materials that affect dental deposits, pellicle, and the surface layer of enamel. Teeth whitening can affect the microelement composition of enamel, but these changes are mostly temporary and associated with processes of demineralization/ remineralization and oxygenation.

Klebsiella pneumoniae adalah salah satu penyebab utama healthcare-associated infections dengan tingkat multidrug resistance (MDR) tinggi, terutama klon penghasil extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) dan carbapenemase (CP). Serotipe kapsul Klebsiella pneumoniae sangat bervariasi sesuai tingkat resistensinya terhadap serum dengan K1, K2, dan K5 menjadi penanda strain hipervirulen yang berbeda dari Klebsiella pneumoniae klasik dalam masyarakat pada umumnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengaplikasikan teknik polymerase chain reaction (PCR) untuk mendeteksi genotipe kapsul K1, K2, dan K5 Klebsiella pneumoniae asal pasien Rumah Sakit Umum (RSU) Kabupaten Tangerang. Isolasi dan uji resistensi dilakukan oleh Laboratorium RSU Kabupaten Tangerang. Konfirmasi spesies K. pneumoniae dan deteksi genotipe kapsul dengan metode PCR dilakukan di Laboratorium Molekuler Poltekkes Kemenkes Banten. Sebanyak delapan isolat (26,7%) merupakan K. pneumoniae resistan Carbapenem dan 11 (36,7%) penghasil extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). Dari total 31 sampel yang diperoleh, hanya satu isolat yang tidak dapat dikonfirmasi. Seluruh isolat yang terkonfirmasi K. pneumoniae diproses untuk tahap selanjutnya. Pemeriksaan PCR menggunakan primer untuk mendeteksi genotipe kapsul K1, K2, dan K5 menunjukkan hanya satu isolat (3,3%) yang diduga merupakan strain hipervirulen dengan genotipe kapsul K2. Tidak ada genotipe K1 dan K5 pada semua isolat yang diperiksa.

Sebagai provinsi terdekat dari ibukota negara Indonesia, Jawa Barat  perlu memiliki sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas. Apabila sumber daya manusia sudah berkualitas tentulah pendapatan masyarakat akan tinggi. Sementara ini, terdapat ketimpangan pendapatan di Jawa Barat yang memungkinkan adanya ketimpangan pendidikan sebagai peningkat kualitas sumber daya manusia. Tujuan pembuatan artikel ini untuk menganalisis ketimpangan dilihat dari model imbal jasa pendidikan (return to education). Model return to education yang akan digunakan adalah model sheepskin effect, dan data diperoleh dari SAKERNAS 2019. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan adanya perbedaan nilai Return to education antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Selain itu, terdapat perbedaan nilai return antar kabupaten kota di Jawa Barat. Kondisi ini memperlihatkan masih adanya perbedaan kualitas pendidikan di Jawa Barat. Kualitas ini dipengaruhi oleh infrastruktur yang tidak merata, oleh karenanya pemerintah diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kualitas infrastruktur di kabupaten-kabupaten yang masih rendah tingkat pendidikannya.

Cyberbullying (perundungan dunia maya) ialah bullying/perundungan dengan menggunakan teknologi digital. Hal ini dapat terjadi di media sosial, platform chatting, platform bermain game, dan ponsel. Adapun menurut Think Before Text, cyberbullying adalah perilaku agresif dan bertujuan yang dilakukan suatu kelompok atau individu, menggunakan media elektronik, secara berulang-ulang dari waktu ke waktu, terhadap seseorang yang dianggap tidak mudah melakukan perlawanan atas tindakan tersebut. Jadi, terdapat perbedaan kekuatan antara pelaku dan korban. Perbedaan kekuatan dalam hal ini merujuk pada sebuah persepsi kapasitas fisik dan mental. Seiring meningkatnya penggunaan internet dan sosial media dalam masa pandemi ternyata ada informasi yang cukup membuat kewaspadaan para orang tua terhadap perkembangan anak. Yaitu adanya cyberbullying alias perundungan secara online. Cyberbullying terhadap anak-anak merupakan kelompok masyarakat yang paling rentang. Ini dikarenakan dampak cyberbullying kepada anak berdampak panjang. Meskipun begitu, tidak hanya anak-anak saja yang mengalami perundungan secara online ini. Orang dewasa ternyata juga mengalami hal serupa. Biasanya cyberbullying terhadap orang dewasa, berbentuk pelecehan atau terkadang "stalking" terhadap isu ranah privasi. Tim pelaksana Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat menyadari bahwa pihak Perguruan Tinggi, seperti Universitas Abdurachman Saleh Situbondo, perlu mengambil langkah-langkah strategis untuk berandil dalam mengurai dan menyelesaikan persoalan tersebut di atas.
