Authors: О.П. Борисенко , А.О. Краєвий
Published: July 2021

У статті розглянуто напрями удосконалення управління персоналом митних
органів України на засадах методології контролінгу. Акцентовано, що Державна
митна служба України потребує суттєвих перетворень, особливо щодо професіоналізації, підвищення ефективності управлінської діяльності та підняття авторитету державних службовців.Зазначається, що кадровий персонал у сфері державної служби, від якого залежить прийняття управлінських рішень, ще недостатньо підготовлений до інноваційної діяльності, здійснення суспільних реформ.
Визначено, що наявність існуючих проблем у функціонуванні української митниці,
які зазвичай пов’язують з низьким професіоналізмом, недоброчесністю, відсутністю мотивації до якісного виконання функціональних обов’язків, підтверджує необхідність розробки та запровадження нових механізмів управління.У таких механізмах всі зусилля при здійсненні функцій управління мають бути націлені на досягнення результатів, загальним знаменником яких стане досягнення поставлених
цілей. Запропоновано концептуальну модель контролінгу персоналу при підборі кадрів на посади в митних органах, в якій закладено принцип планування за цілями ефективного відбору персоналу митних органів, а оцінювання за результатами їх діяльності. За результатами співставлення необхідно робити висновки, за якими мають
слідувати корегувальні управлінські заходи.Такий підхід має переваги, а саме: досягається цілеспрямованість дії механізмів державного управління; інтегруються зусилля взаємодіючих структур та забезпечуються стійкі зв’язки між ними;
посилюється відповідальність управлінських структур за обґрунтованість застосовуваних заходів; забезпечується вчасна інформаційна підтримка процесу
прийняття управлінських рішень на всіх рівнях управління; забезпечується адекватне реагування системи управління на зміни й адаптація до них; встановлюються координаційні зв’язки між залученими в процес управління суб’єктами й
забезпечується їх орієнтація на досягнення цілей управління.
Survival and Prognostic Factors in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme Receiving Radiation and Temozolomide – A Retrospective Study
Authors: SM Bindu , Rema P L , Ninan Praveen Jacob
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. The standard treatment is surgical excision, followed by concomitant chemoradiation and adjuvant treatment with temozolomide. The standard radiation dose is 60Gy/ 30 fractions 2 Gy per fraction. Temozolomide is an alkylating agent and dosage is 75mg/m2 concurrent with radiation and 150-200mg/m2 as adjuvant treatment. This study aims at studying the median survival and the various prognostic factors.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in Government Medical College, Alappuzha, of 44 patients with GBM from March 2015-2017, who underwent surgery followed by chemoradiation with temozolomide and six cycles of adjuvant temozolomide.
Result: Out of 44 patients, 26 were males and 18 females. There were 28(64%) patients with an ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-1 and had a median survival (MS) of 21months and 16(36%) patients with PS of 2 who had a MS of 10 months (p value <0.001). In this study 30(68%) patients had complete or near complete excision and had a MS of 20 months and 14 (32%) patients had only a partial excision who had a MS of 10 months(p value <0.001). There were 25(57%) patients below 50 years who had a MS of 20 months and 19(43%) patients above 50 years who had a MS of 12 months (p value <0.01).
Conclusion: The prognostic factors detected were age, performance status and extent of resection. The triple modality of treatment of concurrent chemoradiation with temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide continues to be the standard treatment.

Keywords: Glioblastoma multiforme, Temozolomide, chemoradiation.

Authors: Kumar Gourav , Sah Niraj Kumar , Boora Navreet
Published: July 2021

Background: Nosocomial contamination control is vital in any medical clinic to keep away from odds of cross-disease or communication of disease to different patients. Mixed breed disease could be characterized as the communication of irresistible specialists among patients and staff inside a clinical atmosphere.
Objectives: 1. To assess the information and perspectives of paramedical understudies at medical clinics to disease that ought to be followed regularly. 2. To see whether radiography understudies know about the presence of convention and enactment concerning nosocomial contamination control.
Methods: This prospective, questionnaire, comparative study was conducted at College of Paramedical Sciences, Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Delhi road Moradabad, Uttar-Pradesh for period of one year. A validated questionnaire was circulated among Paramedical students. The survey include multiple choice questions (MCQs) related to demographic characteristics (Age, Gender), academic qualification and survey the degree of information and mentality of nosocomial contamination control among paramedical understudies.
Result: In this study assessment the knowledge and attitude of Infection control among paramedical students and we have concluded the exact mean value of all respondent in which there positively correct answer according to included three programmes like radiological imaging techniques, Medical lab techniques, and Optometry and in which there were response for radiological imaging techniques (73%), Medical Lab Techniques (88%) and Optometry (82%). So then we concluded that Medical lab techniques have more knowledge compared to radiological imaging techniques and Optometry. The result of this study was not satisfied knowledge of respondents. Study conclude that there should be proper lecture and theory classes for the conduction of knowledge about nosocomial infection control. Among all three courses, Radiology imaging techniques, medical lab techniques, and Optometry, in 374 participants, and in which participated students have knowledge about paramedical students are at risk of infection 79.1% of students correct answered and the 20.9% students gave incorrect answered .
Conclusion: Among all the subjects, most of them were aware and had a positive attitude toward (78%) nosocomial infection control. The knowledge of nosocomial infection control was good among the respondents since most of them have done undergone prior nosocomial infection academic or performed nosocomial infection control by self-precautions. The respondents had good knowledge for nosocomial infection control and we were involved in three programmes of paramedical college including Radiological imaging techniques, Medical lab techniques, and Optometry and in which entire participants were 374 and in which 78% were positive knowledge and 22% negative knowledge.

Sustainability Implementation Analysis in Three Integrated Apparel Companies: Triple Bottom Line Application and Business Sustainability Typology
Authors: Gusmara Teddy , . Harianto , Riffin Amzul
Published: July 2021

Ready-made garment industry in Indonesia faces many challenges related to sustainability issue. Betterwork Indonesia found many social issues in their sustainability audits in 127 manufacturers of export-oriented ready-made garments. Moreover, from the environmental aspect, several environmental cases due to the activity of ready-made garment manufacturers have gained the attention of many stakeholders. Considering this background, the objectives of this study are: (1) analyzing the direction of sustainability policy from 3 export-oriented ready-made garment manufacturers (2) analyzing the sustainability level from these manufacturers according to the standards of their international buyers and external assessors (3) analyzing their performances on their sustainability implementation based on the framework of Triple Bottom Line dan Business Sustainability Typology. This study employed the descriptive and quantitative method with guided group discussion, in-depth interviews and using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The interviews were conducted on 3 representatives from each of the manufacturers and 3 external representatives from different institutions These three manufacturers already have several sustainability policies related to environmental and social aspects. In total, the policies here are found to be more focused towards economic aspects, followed by environmental and lastly social aspects. However, according to the external parties, these three manufacturers differs in their level of sustainability with Manufacturer A being the leader, followed by Manufacturer B and then Manufacturer C. For the Business Sustainability Typology, the three companies are at the BST 1.0 level and still have to balance the TBL dimensions to achieve True Sustainability. The three companies must take various actions so that there is no variant on each BST 3.0 indicator.

The Goat that Couldn’t Stop the Mud Volcano
Authors: Drake Phillip
Published: July 2021

This essay explores the relationship between animal sacrifice, the production of human subjectivity, and expressions of power, using a newspaper photograph of a goat being thrown into a famous mud volcano in Indonesia as a point of departure. This devastating mud volcano, widely known as the “Lapindo” mudflow, began in 2006 and continues to release mud in 2012. I also use this disaster as a case study to observe the ways violence against nonhumans helps sustain individuals and communities within certain social and ecological orders, both in Western and Indonesian contexts. As this project traces the various ways sacrificial violence expresses subjectivity, it will consider the staging of unequal power relations in both the execution and the representation of the sacrifice ritual. By recognizing these manifestations of power, we – who have the cognitive faculties, cultural determinations, and social agencies that enable us to perform violence, abstain from performing violence, and contemplate occurrences of violence – refine our capacity to not only identify violence toward other animals, including other members of our own species, but also understand the ways violence shapes our being and relating within ecological networks, so that we can become better, or at least more self-aware, actors in our ecological communities.

Genuine Zoocentrism or Dogged Anthropocentrism? On the Personification of Animal Figures in the News
Authors: Gouabault Emmanuel , Dubied Annik , Burton-Jeangros Claudine
Published: July 2021

Human-Animal relationships are changing and the media coverage of animal issues plays a major part in these transformations. The personification of animals is a socially-constructed process through which the status of a person is attributed to an animal. In this article, we analyze this process in the media, through successive analytical steps. Identifying the attributes of animal personification enables us to distinguish three increasingly complex levels of this process. In the most developed stage, the process of ‘starification’ is applied to the animal, such as in the 2007 case of the polar bear Knut, the abandoned cub of the Berlin Zoo. Using the ‘contrasted portrait’ approach, we then compare this story to an opposite animal figure, also making headline news in the media at the same time, namely the three pitbulls dogs who killed a child on his way to school in the eastern part of Switzerland. This analysis illustrates a number of current mutations in human-animal relationships and challenges the idea of ‘growing zoocentrism.’ Indeed, personified animals transformed in human figures rather than promoted as subjects of interest in themselves, suggest a permanence of anthropocentrism.
Women and Cattle “Becoming-With” in Botswana
Authors: Petitt Andrea , Hovorka Alice J.
Published: July 2021

Cattle are paramount to lives, livelihoods and landscapes in Botswana. Human-cattle relations emerge and evolve through historically-situated social relations of power based on gender, ethnicity, and class. Our paper explores intersectional human-cattle relations in Botswana within the contemporary period of enhanced commercialization. Specifically, with data from participant observation and semi-structured interviews with women cattle owners in Ghanzi District, Botswana, we investigate how women across a range of ethnicities become-with cattle and how cattle are becoming-with women cattle owners, directly or mediated through hired labour and/or technology. By operationalizing Haraway’s multispecies ‘becoming-with’ through intersectionality theory we articulate the nuanced ways in which individuals or social groups of two distinct species (here humans and cattle) become who they are. We show that whereas gender and ethnicity dynamics place women as engaging directly with cattle, engaging indirectly with cattle or becoming-without cattle, class most visibly shape the way that cattle become-with women cattle owners and other humans. We offer a novel illustration of an intersectional becoming-with, highlighting human-animal relations in the context of agriculture and socio-economic change in the Global South.
Place Attachment and the Roots of Spiritual Relating in Animals
Authors: Brooks Pribac Teya
Published: July 2021

This essay explores the possibility of place attachment (and aversion) as a relational framework through which animal bodies learn to communicate with intangible agencies within inhabited geographical spaces. I first briefly present my conceptualization of animal (human inclusive) spirituality along with relevant aspects of intersubjective attachment theory and self-formation. I then turn to place attachment.
Living Machines with Gentle Looks
Authors: Kaarlenkaski Taija
Published: July 2021

This paper discusses the modernization of cattle tending in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Finland from viewpoints of materiality and embodiment. In accordance with new materialist theories, both human and bovine bodies are seen as material-discursive phenomena constituted in the entanglement of material and cultural practices. The paper investigates how bovine bodies, embodiment, and agency were represented and conceptualized, and what kind of qualities “good cows” had at the time. The materials used in the study consist of answers sent to an ethnographic questionnaire, as well as ten cattle tending guidebooks, all dating back to the turn of the twentieth century. It is argued in the paper that questions of agency and subjectivity in modernizing animal husbandry were multidimensional, and that the consequences of increasing objectification of bovine bodies were not just negative for cattle.
Through the Shadows of Roadkill
Authors: MacKay Carley
Published: July 2021

In this article, I problematize the ways in which we often turn our gaze away from road kill animals. I argue that our relations with road kill warrant ethical kinds of engagement, which I explore through an analysis of death and intimacy. An intimate engagement with animal death strengthens how we understand the complexity of human-road kill relations, while simultaneously providing us with tools for addressing how to engage in these relations in more ethical ways. As I make clear, death does not inhibit our relations with road kill animals, but instead acts as a catalyst for them, enabling us to locate ourselves in the shadows of road kill.
Inventing Dog Breeds
Authors: Worboys Michael
Published: July 2021

Today Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs) are among the most popular dogs in Britain and are seen to have long history, dating back to the fox terriers bred by Parson Jack Russell in the early and mid-Victorian period. Yet, JRTs are the dog breed most recently recognized by the British Kennel Club, only being allowed to enter dog shows and to be registered in the Club’s stud book since 2016. This essay explores this paradox and tells the story of struggles between different groups over the physical form and cultural meaning of this particular type of dog, but similar histories of the contested and contingent creation could be told of every dog breed. Modern dog breeds were invented materially and culturally in the Victorian era, first in Britain before being spread around the world. Then and since, the conformation of individual breeds has been subject to continual reimagining and reinvention by dog fanciers, along with the proliferation breeds to produce the 344 breeds now recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). History shows that breed could have been differently conceived and specific dog breeds differently made.
Ready for the Robot
Authors: Calvert Scout
Published: July 2021

Situating cows as co-laborers in global technology sectors, “Ready for the Robot” explores the predicament of cows working as robot operators, information workers, and data producers. The data cows produce shape the conditions in which they work, including their own bodies, as statistical evaluations of cattle abstract profitable traits and warp their connection to breed. Milking robots are posited as providing freedom to dairy cows, but this is far from guaranteed. Rather, cow bodies are programmed to fit the limitations of the robot and the routines of the automated farm, coding that breaches categories of breed. Drawing on Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, this article argues for a “cowborg politics” that shapes technology for new research questions and methods that produce genuinely better working conditions for cows and their human companions and co-workers.
Enfolding the BioSocial Collective
Authors: Nimmo Richie
Published: July 2021

Animals have very often been central to the ongoing work of self-definition that is an abiding preoccupation of human cultures – when we imagine animals, we imagine ourselves. But this anthropomorphic imagination often focuses upon those animals most amenable to a human-like model of conscious being, subjectivity and selfhood, usually meaning vertebrates, mammals, primates and cetaceans. Social insects, and honey bees in particular, are a significant exception. There is a remarkably rich cultural history of representations of bees vis-à-vis human beings, but it does not center upon speculation about the consciousness of bees and the nature of a bee’s subjective experience, but instead upon the nature of the colony as a political community or collective, and on the extent and significance of its similarities with human society. Indeed bees have long been enrolled into political discourse as an example of a political community in nature, lending to apian discourse a particular political potency. Against this background, this article examines some key developments of the last fifty years that have contributed to a particular trajectory in scientific studies of bees and other social insects, namely a turn to conceptions of evolution as perpetual competition for relative genetic advantage, governed by a mathematical logic. This analysis traces the conceptual architecture of this and explores how it inscribes a specific ontology of “nature” and “the social”, before drawing upon currents from relational ontology and theories of biosocial complexity, to imagine what sort of “nature,” “society,” and “politics” might emerge if ‘the social’ is reckoned back into the evolutionary process. In this way, the argument that follows is at once about science, the nature of bees, and their mode of existence, but also about ourselves, our nature as human beings, and the social and political possibilities of our own mode of existence.
Human Language, Animal Code, and the Question of Beeing
Authors: Meighoo Sean
Published: July 2021

In this paper, I want to question the distinction between the human capacity for language on one hand and various forms of communication among nonhuman animals on the other by talking about bees.  More specifically, I am interested in the discussion of the honey bee’s “dance language” in the work of two key figures in structuralist theory, the Syrian-born French linguist Émile Benveniste and the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.  In the first part of my paper, I present a close reading of some selected texts by Benveniste and Lacan in which they critically assess the Austrian zoologist and Nobel laureate Karl von Frisch’s research on communication among honey bees.  In the second part of my paper, I compare Benveniste and Lacan’s discussion of the honey bee’s “dance language” to the German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s discussion of the bee in relation to his work on language and the question of being.  I argue that in contrast to Heidegger’s humanist discourse, Benveniste and Lacan’s antihumanist discourse only offers a new form of humanism itself – a post-Darwinian humanism that is not hindered at all by any biological theory of natural selection or evolution.
Responding to Dogs
Authors: Andreyev Julie
Published: July 2021

This essay explores the author’s significant experiences with canine companions Tom and Sugi, and the day-to-day events that led to interspecies collaborative art productions. The essay asks, can ethics of care be integrated into aesthetic processes with more-than-human others, specifically dogs? The investigation weaves interpersonal relatings and respectful human-canine discussion into an argument for communication ethics. Interspecies communication is explored for its response potential—compassionate action based on sensing and feeling, combined with respect for difference. The essay focuses on the creative processes of EPIC_Tom (2014-16), a performance and installation project carried out with the participation of the dogs. Their vocal and gestural communications are explored using new media forms, and music and sound-making methods, such as deep listening, call and response, and musicking. The project proposes methods that allow for the relinquishment of human-centric authorship for potentials offered by interspecies creativity.
Spontaneous Development of Hunting-like Behavior in a Juvenile Human
Authors: Dinets Vladimir
Published: July 2021

Studies of hunting behavior in humans have never addressed the roles of innate predisposition vs. cultural acquisition in its development. I present a case study showing that many elements of hunting behavior can develop spontaneously in a juvenile growing up in complete isolation from other hunters, in an environment where such behavior has no adaptive value. Despite the minimal sample size and the fact that the study subject differed in behavior from most other juvenile males growing up at that time in the same environment, these observations clearly demonstrate that hunting-like behavior can be manifested without learning from others, at least in some individuals.
“Post-Anthropocentrism” in Animal Philosophy and Ethics
Authors: Aigner Andreas , Pieper Karl , Grimm Herwig
Published: July 2021

The field of post-anthropocentrism in current animal philosophy and related disciplines is structured by heterogeneous concepts of anthropocentrism on the one hand and different usages of the prefix ‘post’ on the other. This paper expounds different perspectives on anthropocentrism, while additionally focusing on the possibilities of its overcoming: on how anthropocentrism is problematized rather than on what is problematized. Two different positions are used as examples: humanist post-anthropocentrism, as advocated by Gary Steiner, and post-humanism, as advocated by Cary Wolfe in reference to Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction. In conclusion, the notion of ‘excess’ is analysed to illustrate the structural differences regarding a crucial term for both positions.
“I’m told I’m famous on the internet” – Henri the Cat and the Critical Possibility of Anthropomorphism
Authors: Myers Caitlin Rose
Published: July 2021

This paper examines the phenomenon of feline Youtube celebrity in the context of human/nonhuman animal interactions and the construction of the posthuman subject.  I argue that “Henri,” or Henry, the Youtube star, presents the particularized difficulties of both human and nonhuman animals, including Derridean “nonpower,” manipulation through medium (virtual or otherwise), and the performativity of identity.  While Derrida explicitly derides anthropomorphism as “a moralizing subjection, a domestication” in his The Animal That Therefore I Am,I will further argue for the critical possibilities of anthropomorphism using popular responses to the Henri videos alongside recent theoretical perspectives that argue for its necessity.  This multimedia presentation aims to demonstrate that it is possible to draw the public fascination with feline celebrities into conversation with questions of what it means to be “human” or “animal,” as well as what it means to present oneself as “being” in a posthuman world.
Interrogating the human/animal relation in Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents
Authors: Ray Nicholas
Published: July 2021

This essay tracks the conceptualizations and representations of the human/animal relation in Freud’s late anthropological work Civilization and its Discontents (1930). Rather than seeking to identify a univocal Freudian position on this problematic, I examine the variances and tensions that mark Freud’s thinking with respect to it. Animals and animality, I argue, are not just critical points of reference and illustration in his text but also potential ‘pressure’ points at which distinct theoretical orientations and assumptions overlap and where, under scrutiny, the cogency of Freud’s main theses on man and civilization can be put at risk. However, rather than seeking to attack Freud or demolish his argument, I propose that these instabilities may be read as indices of a certain, problematic ‘exigency’ exerted on thought by the human/animal relation as such – an exigency that Freud himself partially apprehends, and incipiently interrogates, within what Leo Bersani has called the ‘unconscious’ of the text itself: the speculative – and frequently unappreciated – footnotes on anthropogenesis in chapter 4.
Horse as Significant Other
Authors: Nyman Jopi
Published: July 2021

This essay examines Susan Richards’s memoir Chosen by a Horse: How a Broken Horse Fixed a Broken Heart (2006) by focusing on its affective representation of the human-horse relationship. The discussion shows how the story of the mare Lay Me Down in Richard’s work is intricately linked with the narrator’s changing identity. It contends that this relationship, represented in the text by the use of a discourse of healing and self-regeneration, seeks to reconstruct the traumatized autobiographical subject and negotiate her identity. The close bond with between the narrator and the ailing horse shows that the two participants are involved in a joint process of identity transformation, described by Donna Haraway (2008) as becoming with another species. The essay will also suggest that the affective representation of the horse and its significance to the self-transformation of the traumatized autobiographical narrator is also part of the therapeutic discourse of contemporary American culture.
Stories of Animal Passports
Authors: Birke Lynda , Holmberg Tora , Thompson Kirrilly
Published: July 2021

Like us, some kinds of animals require passports to enable movements  across national borders. Passports tell all kinds of multispecies stories, in which humans and nonhumans are entangled in myriad ways. But what is a passport — human or nonhuman? What kind of symbolic, legal, material, relational identity and not least control and disciplinary work do they “do”? The article departs from autoethnographical notes in a European context, and discusses these questions in dialogue with animal studies literature and actor network theory.

So, what kinds of stories do passports tell? In the article, the authors consider first what role passports serve, and then analyze their function, in various forms of surveillance — around disease and global bio-security, around mobility/travel, and around identities. Finally, some issues raised about technologies of identification, and what these say about identity and belonging, particularly with respect to human-animal relationships, are discussed. For all that these passports signify human-animal separation, they also signify the shared, mobile enmeshment of humans and animals in citizenship as well as social life.
Sellfare
Authors: Torssonen Sami
Published: July 2021

The commodification of livestock welfare has risen rapidly on the agendas of several state, private, academic, and third sector actors during the 2000s. This article traces the historical emergence of livestock welfare commodification as governance, or “sellfare.” The article also discusses sellfare’s composition, contradictions, and relationship to previous modes of livestock welfare governance. By reading secondary research alongside recent sellfare documents, the article traces the histories of five aspects of sellfare: the animal connection, liberal fare governance, livestock factories, scientific welfare governance, and welfare as quality. The history of sellfare sheds light on why commodification now appears as such a self-evident tool for livestock welfare governance. The analysis also suggests, however, that sellfare is unlikely to dissolve the contradictions that gave rise to it. On the contrary: commodification risks reducing welfare to a commodity. Recent innovations such as the welfare gas chamber remind us that sellfare still functions within intensive livestock production.
Relocating “Stuffed” Animals
Authors: Turner Stephanie S.
Published: July 2021

This essay focuses on the remediating effects of photography of natural history museum taxidermy. How do these works refigure the apparent verisimilitude of taxidermied animals and their realistic diorama “habitats”? And how do they implicate viewers? Applying historian and curator Rachel Poliquin’s typology of taxidermy to a number of examples, I show how the “talkative thingness” of taxidermied animals — their tendency to signify in excess of their materiality — is expressed in the overlapping descriptive, biographical, cautionary, and experiential aspects of a number of contemporary photographers of natural history museum taxidermies.
Stunning Australia
Authors: Probyn-Rapsey Fiona
Published: July 2021

This article focuses on the Australian campaign to ban live exports of cattle to Indonesia in the wake of media exposure of cruel slaughterhouse practices there.  It examines Australian reactions to this footage and how Australian pride in the use of stunning technology (where cattle are stunned prior to bleeding) circulates as a point of national pride. What frames ‘our’ national pride is also a discourse of racialized shaming of Indonesian practices. The connections between stunning, insensibility and denial help to explain how and why Australian reactions took the shape that they did.
Bringing the Laboratory Dog Home
Authors: Walker Alyssa Chen
Published: July 2021

This essay considers the role of popular fiction in the vivisection debates of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Specifically, it argues that the fictional narratives of American author Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (a vociferous proponent of humane reform in New England) infused the anti-vivisection movement with a sense of urgency. By exploiting the formal properties of the novel, Phelps encouraged readers to reimagine the anonymous laboratory dog both as a surrogate child and as private property. In doing so, her imaginative literature illustrated, in ways that other discursive forms did not, how vivisection corroded fin de siècle America’s most sacrosanct values.
An Updated Review of What, When and How of Sertaconazole:
A Potent Antifungal Agent
Authors: Kaur Charanjit , Kaur Navjeet , Sharma Deepika , Singh Gurvinder , Singh Narinderpal , Viney Viney , Kumar Singh Sachin , Singh Vrinderpal , Kumar Rajesh
Published: July 2021

Sertaconazole is an imidazole/triazole type antifungal agent which selectively inhibit fungal cytochrome P450 sterol C-14 α-demethylase and act as potent antifungal agent. This enzyme is essential for fungal cell wall synthesis as it converts lanosterol to ergosterol. The antifungal spectrum of drug includes Candida, Malassezia, Cryptococcus, Aspergillus, Scopulariopsis and Scedosporium. In addition, sertaconazole has been reported to exhibit an antimicrobial activity against staphylococci, streptococci, and protozoa. The drug is practically insoluble in water and has an apparent half-life of approximately 60 hrs. It is prescribed for the treatment of interdigital tinea pedis (topical), mycoses of skin and mucosa in dermatology and gynaecology. Sertaconazole penetrates the horny layer of skin and the therapeutic concentrations may be found after a long period of time, avoiding the potential risk of systemic absorption. It is available in the market as cream, lotion and tablet formulations. This review summarises the physiochemical characterization of drug, involved pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, safety profile along with the reported preclinical, clinical and formulation studies and patents thereof and the paradigm shift in the use of sertaconazole.

Published: July 2021

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder. At chronic condition it causes severe damage to the multiple organs like heart, eyes, blood vessels, kidneys, and nerves which further brings about macrovascular and microvascular complications. In present situation sufficient drugs are available for the treatment of diabetes but risk and rate of mortality of a patient suffering from diabetes is very high. Reported partial relief and regular suffering of patient is a leading challenge of medical as well as health care professionals. Available drugs given in the form of monotherapy restricted to certain conditions only and it is not able to provide inadequate relief. Hence, timely diagnosis with combination therapy adopted at right time can improve the hyperglycaemic condition and worst condition of diabetic complications. It is evident that insulin with metformin provides beneficial effect in avoiding weight gain and hypoglycaemia. Herbal, poly-herbal and synthetic drug administration in combination form is a novel therapeutic approach for treatment diabetes and its complications. Hence this review will focus to justify the dual therapy can be a potentially good therapeutic approach to solve the problems of diabetic complications with special impact to diabetic neuropathy and nephropathy over monotherapy using preclinical and clinical evidences.
Citizens Perception of E-Government in Korea: Importance-Performance Analysis on Users Satisfaction and Behavioral Intention
Authors: Park Hayan , Samijadi Muhammad Firdaus
Published: July 2021

The implementation of technological developments in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been carried out by many countries to help make government service delivery to their citizens better. E-government initiatives are developed to try and attain a higher level of efficacy in government service provision by utilizing the latest developments in ICTs to innovate and promote the interactions with citizens. E-government initiatives should not only be about putting forms, websites and services online, but should also provide a framework of options on how the government continues to improve their services and how to bring adjustments based on the users' demand. A citizen-centric study of how citizens perceive e-government services should help governments and future researchers adjust their initiatives accordingly. This study explores the citizens' perception of e-government in Korea by utilizing an Importance-Performance Analysis method and also seeks to identify which attributes of e-government can influence citizens' satisfaction and behavioral intentions. The result of the IPA indicates that technical support/feedback and real-time service provision are the main areas where e-government should focus on. Overall, the IPA model indicates other factors that can influence satisfaction and behavioral intention, and a well-structured e-government plan based on the findings may as well enhance the specific aspect of e-government.
Detección y cuantificación de células plasmáticas (plasmocitos) en granulomas periapicales inducidos experimentalmente en ratas
Authors: Zmener Osvaldo , Pameijer Cornelis H. , Cotrozo Ana Clara
Published: July 2021

Objetivo: En los granulomas periapicales, los plasmocitos (PL) participan activamente mediante la liberación deinmunoglobulinas. El propósito de este ensayo fue identificar y contar el número de PL en diferentes períodos de tiempo en lesiones periapicales experimentales en ratas.
Materiales y métodos: Mediante la exposición al medio oral de la pulpa de los primeros molares inferiores izquierdos, se indujeron granulomas periapicales en ratas a las que previamente se les suministró anestesia. La pulpa de los primeros molares inferiores derechos no fue expuesta, y estos dientes se utilizaron como control. Los animales fueron eutanasiados a los 10, 30 y 60 días de la exposición. Los maxilares inferiores fueron removidos, y los primeros molares, junto con los tejidos circundantes, se procesaron para su estudio histológico. Se obtuvieron secciones semiseriadas, posteriormente coloreadas con verde de metilo-pironina (VMP).
Cada tres secciones, las tres siguientes fueron coloreadas con hematoxilina y eosina (H-E). Los controles también fueron coloreados con H-E.
Resultados: Todos los especímenes experimentales coloreados con H-E revelaron la presencia de granulomas periapicales. Luego de la exposición pulpar, el número de PL que reaccionó positivamente al VMP se incrementó de manera progresiva desde el día 10 hasta los días 30 y 60. A pesar de que a los 60 días el número de PL fue ligeramente menor que a los 30 días, no hubo diferencias significativas entre estos dos períodos. Los especímenes del grupo control coloreados con H-E mostraron que los tejidos periapicales se encontraban dentro de los parámetros normales en todos los períodos de observación.
Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio revelaron que el número de plasmocitos VMP positivos se incrementa progresivamente en función del tiempo transcurrido pero se estabiliza al finalizar el experimento. También sugieren que el empleo de la coloración de VMP es un procedimiento adecuado para la identificación y la cuantificación de plasmocitos en los granulomas periapicales inducidos experimentalmente en ratas.

La diabetes mellitus es una enfermedad metabólica caracterizada por altos niveles de glucosa en sangre y defectos en la producción y/o la acción de la insulina. La hiperglucemia crónica puede derivar en complicaciones metabólicas y vasculares como micro y macroangiopatías y alteraciones en el metabolismo de lípidos y proteínas. Los pacientes diabéticos mal controlados o no controlados presentan signos y síntomas evidenciables a nivel estomatológico. En el mundo, alrededor del 8,8% de los adultos de entre 20 y 79 años padecen este trastorno endócrino, y se estimaque para el año 2045 unos 629 millones de personas de este rango etario tendrán diabetes. Por ello, es fundamental que el odontólogo se encuentre familiarizado con el manejo médico de estos pacientes, a fin de estar preparado para brindarles un tratamiento adecuado y responder a las emergencias médicas que se presenten durante su atención. En esta revisión se emplearon resultados extraídos manualmente de artículos indexados en las bases de datos MEDLINE y EBSCO que responden a la búsqueda de los términos diabetes mellitus, dental management, oral surgery y HbA1c, con el objetivo de describir el manejo médico-odontológico del paciente diabético hasta la fecha.
التبادل البرامجي التلفزيوني بين دول العالم الإسلامي وأهميته في الإرشاد والتدريب لحجاج بيت الله الحرام
Authors: حسين محمد د.أحمد إسماعيل
Published: July 2021

يعتبر الإعلام التلفزيوني الفضائي أقوى وسائل الإعلام تأثيراً على المتلقي حسب العديد من الدراسات، وهذه الميزة برزت في مختلف الميادين والمجالات التي تناولها الإعلام التلفزيوني، غير أنها في نظر الباحث لم توظف بالقدر الكافي توظيفاً نوعياً في مجال إرشاد الحجاج وإحاطتهم بمناسك الحج، في الوقت الذي لا يزال بعض الحجاج يرتكب بعض الأخطاء المتعلقة بالمناسك، وهذا كان السبب في اختيار الباحث لهذا الموضوع لتحقيق بعض الأهداف التي تتمثل في حث الفضائيات التلفزيونية في الدول العربية والإسلامية على وجه الخصوص وبقية دول العالم التي لا تخلو من أقليات مسلمة، على لعب دور إعلامي يتمثل في إنتاج برامج تلفزيونية متخصصة في التدريب والتوعية بمناسك الحج، بأساليب جاذبة وشيقة تسهم في تعليم الحجاج وتعينهم على أداء تلك المناسك بإتقان، على أن يتم تبادل تلك البرامج (Programme exchange) مابين الفضائيات في الدول المعنية لتوسيع نطاق المنفعة والاستفادة لدى المستهدفين ولتقليل الكلفة الإنتاجية، واتبع الباحث المنهجين الوصفي والتاريخي، واستخدم أداتي الملاحظة والإستبانة وصولاً إلي النتائج المطلوبة والتي بني عليها توصيات البحث.

فقام بتقسيم بحثه إلى خمسة مطالب، المطلب الأول عبارة عن الإطار المنهجي للبحث، والمطلب الثاني جاء بعنوان سمات وخصائص الفضائيات التلفزيونية، والمطلب الثالث يتحدث عن التبادل البرامجي التلفزيوني، والمطلب الرابع يتناول مناسك ومراحل الحج، المطلب الخامس عبارة عن إجراءات الدراسة التطبيقية،  ويشتمل على النتائج والتوصيات وقائمة المصادر والمراجع .
Retuning Chaucer's Instrument: Chaucer and the Trots Once Again
Authors: Beidler Peter G.
Published: July 2021

Thirty-five years ago in this journal, I argued on the basis of my analysis of ten translations of key passages in the Canterbury Tales that we could not trust translators to give accurate renditions of what Chaucer wrote. In this follow-up study, I analyze ten different translations of the famous opening lines in the General Prologue, beginning with “Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote.” I look first at the wide variety of ways the translators render the word soote at the end of the first line. Then, through a series of questions, I call attention to the many ways these ten translators introduce inaccuracies large and small into their renditions of Chaucer's first four lines. At the end, I consider the question of the appropriateness of Christopher Lauer's unusually free translation of the Reeve's Tale.
Overabundance and inflectional classification: Quantitative evidence from Czech
Authors: Guzmán Naranjo Matías , Bonami Olivier
Published: July 2021

Overabundance is the situation where two or more distinct word forms fill the same cell in an inflectional paradigm (Thornton 2011). While this topic has received renewed attention in recent years, there are still several open questions regarding its properties and status. In this paper we present a new take on the matter. On the basis of a case study of the locative singular and instrumental plural of Czech nouns, we argue that there are at least two kinds of overabundance phenomena which should be distinguished, depending on whether overabundant behavior integrates in the inflection system or is orthogonal to it. The evidence for the distinction comes from a quantitative study of the way phonological, morphosyntactic, semantic, and sociolinguistic factors contribute to partially predicting whether a lexeme is overabundant and which form is used in different contexts.

Durchstarten dank Strukturverlust
Authors: Haider Ulrike
Published: July 2021

In der Sonderpädagogik ist seit jeher bekannt, dass Strukturen, Rituale und Rhythmisierung des Unterrichtsalltages Sicherheit, Orientierung und Leistungsbereitschaft ermöglichen. Durch die gesetzlichen Sicherheitsvorgaben im Umgang mit der Corona-Pandemie im Schulsystem wurden diese wertvollen Rahmenbedingungen im vergangenen Schuljahr oftmals durchbrochen oder sogar ganz abgeschafft. Dieser Artikel soll einen kurzen Einblick in den Schulalltag an einer kleinen ländlichen Sonderschule im Bezirk Tulln geben, welche die Unterrichtsformen entwickelte, durch die ein Durchstarten dank des Strukturverlustes möglich war. Die dadurch entstandene Flexibilität der Kinder und Jugendlichen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf führte bei ihnen und allen Pädagog*innen zu einer Potenzialentfaltung und neuem Mut.
