Comparative efficacy of supraclavicular versus infraclavicular approach of subclavian vein cannulation under ultrasound guidance
Authors: T Mageshwaran , Singla Deepak , Agarwal Ankit , Kumar Ajit , Tripathy Debendra K , Agrawal Sanjay
Published: May 2021

Background and Aims:

Subclavian vein (SCV) cannulation can be performed using either supraclavicular (SC) or infraclavicular (IC) long-axis approach under ultrasound guidance (USG). However, their relative efficacy remains debatable. The aim of this study was to compare these two approaches in terms of safety, ease, success rate, and record the incidence of complications.

Methods:

We studied 90 adult patients distributed into two groups of 45 each. Data regarding the time taken for first venous puncture, the time required for inserting the catheter, the total number of attempts, the incidence of guidewire misplacement, and other mechanical complications were compared using Student's t-test for quantitative data and Chi-square test for qualitative value.

Results:

Mean puncture time was significantly lesser in group SC than IC (P-value < 0.001). Mean catheter insertion time taken was also significantly less in group SC than IC (P-value = 0.003). The first attempt rate was higher in group SC than IC (P = 0.013). Guidewire misplacement was seen in the IC group, P = 0.001. No pneumothorax, haemothorax, or arterial puncture were noted in our study in any of the groups.

Conclusion:

We conclude that for right-sided SCV cannulation using USG in the long axis, the SC approach is superior to the IC approach in terms of overall ease of cannulation. It was associated with a relatively shorter procedure time, higher success rate in the first attempt, lesser incidence of guidewire misplacement, and other complications. It should be considered as an alternative approach to the IC approach in patients requiring central line insertion.
Is Diagnosis of Low-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma Possible in Urine Cytology?
Authors: Bansal Saloni , Pathuthara Saleem , Joseph Santhosh , Dighe Swati , Menon Santosh , Desai Sangeeta B.
Published: May 2021

Background:

Urine cytology is a useful modality, primarily for the diagnosis and follow-up surveillance of high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC). Its utility in diagnosing low-grade urothelial carcinoma (LGUC) remains controversial because of low reported sensitivity compared to cystoscopy.

Aim:

To study the cytomorphology of LGUC in voided urine samples and analyze its utility in diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective study of one year, including 48 voided urine samples in cases which were confirmed as LGUC on subsequent histology. Urine cytology smears of these cases, originally stained with Papanicolaou stain were reviewed, critically analyzed and the specific cytomorphologic and cystoscopic findings were documented.

Results:

On review 18 samples were re-categorized as LGUC which included 10 samples initially diagnosed as Negative for HGUC, 2 as Atypical Urothelial Cells – Not Otherwise Specified (AUC-NOS) and 6 as Suspicious for Carcinoma. In addition, another 3 samples with initial diagnosis of LGUC remained as LGUC on review. Thus, a total of 21 LGUC samples were identified after the review. 26 (54%) samples with a diagnosis of negative for HGUC remained negative even after review, as the tumor cells were not identified either due to sampling error or unrecognizable morphology. One (2%) samples of AUC-NOS remained the same on review due to very scant atypical cells. In 21 LGUC samples, cytology showed a dual population of benign differentiated urothelial cells and small urothelial cells with subtle nuclear atypia such as irregular and thickened nuclear membrane with increased nuclear cytoplasmic ratio. In 12 false negative LGUC samples, the diagnostic cells were camouflaged by their subtle nuclear atypia coupled with an overwhelming background of differentiated benign urothelial cells as both appeared almost similar in morphology. Papillary fragments were identified only in 2 samples.

Conclusions:

Diagnosis of LGUC on cytology is challenging and depends on the presence of diagnostic cells, pick up of diagnostic cells on screening and accurate interpretation. Special attention to papillary fragments and aforementioned nuclear atypia should be paid as tumor cells may resemble normal urothelial cells and can be easily missed.
Case Report: An Atypical Erysipeloid Presentation of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis from the Hilly Region of Nepal
Authors: Nepal Suman
Published: May 2021

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is the most common form of leishmaniasis, classically presents as small erythematous papules and nodules that develop into ulcers with indurated, raised outer borders. However, lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis can have pleomorphic and atypical presentations. The erysipeloid form is one of the rare, atypical presentations of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Reported is a case of a 58-year-old man from the hilly region of Nepal who presented with an atypical erythematous and edematous plaque over the left antecubital fossa. Cutaneous leishmaniasis was not considered as an initial diagnosis because of the atypical appearance of the lesion as well as his residence in the hilly region of Nepal. The diagnosis was made after detection of amastigotes on histopathological examination of a cutaneous biopsy specimen. There was complete regression of the lesion after treatment with oral miltefosine followed by oral fluconazole. Clinicians should be aware of atypical presentations of cutaneous leishmaniasis and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis, regardless of the presentation or geographic location.
Case Report: Miltefosine Failure and Spontaneous Resolution of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis braziliensis
Authors: Joseph Sheridan , Whitman Timothy J. , Buckner Frederick S. , Cogen Anna L.
Published: May 2021

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is often caused by Leishmania braziliensis (L. braziliensis) in South America. Because of the risk for mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, L. braziliensis is frequently treated with parenteral or oral medications. Here, we present a case of a young woman with L. braziliensis (CL) that did not respond to miltefosine but eventually experienced spontaneous resolution. This case highlights the potential for treatment failure and the importance of clinical monitoring in the setting of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. braziliensis.

Published: May 2021

This article explains a novel synthesis for producing titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by a sol-gel technique using titanium tetraisopropoxide as a titanium source. The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using many measurements like X-ray diffraction (XRD), HRTEM, absorption UV spectroscopy, FTIR, and ac impedance spectroscopy. X-ray peaks were used to calculate the crystallite size and lattice strain by Williamson–Hall method. Crystallite size calculated from x-ray diffraction using the Scherrer equation gives an approximate size and cannot be used for measurements. TiO2 nanoparticles are found to possess a tetragonal structure with a crystalline size around 12 nm. Particle size was confirmed by HRTEM images. The optical studies response for the nanoparticles showed the possible visible absorption peaks for TiO2 nanoparticles are 323 nm. Bandgap energy (Eg) of the TiO2 nanoparticle calculated from UV visible absorption spectra is discussed, and the bandgap is 3.14 eV. FTIR spectra showed vibration bands of the Ti-O network. AC Conductivity properties of TiO2 nanoparticles are studied in the frequency range 1 to 8 MHz at varying temperatures. The conductivity of the TiO2 nanoparticle is found to be constant in the low angular frequency region. Dielectric parameters were analyzed at different temperatures and frequencies.

YAPAY ZEKÂ UYGULAMALARININ KİŞİSEL VERİLERİN KORUMASINA DAİR DOĞURABİLECEĞİ SORUNLAR VE ÇÖZÜM ÖNERİLERİ
Authors: ABUDUREYIMU Yiliyaer , OGURLU Yucel
Published: May 2021

Günümüzde hayatımızın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelen yapay zekâ teknolojileri, bireylerin davranışları, tercihleri ve özel hayatları hakkında farklı yöntemler ile veri toplayıp, doğrulanamayan çıkarımlar ve tahminler yapabilmektedir. Bu verilerin toplanması, işlenmesi, değiştirilmesi, aktarılması ve çıkarım yapılması süreçleri, muhtelif hukuki sorunlara sebep olabilmektedir. Özellikle kişisel verilerin korunması kapsamında yapay zekâ teknolojileri büyük risk ve sorunlar oluşturmaktadır. Yapay zekâ çeşitli ve zengin kişisel verilerden yararlanarak ayrımcı, önyargılı ve “istilacı” kararlar verebilmektedir. Fakat günümüzde kişisel veri koruma kanunları, insanların yalnız kalma hakkı başta olmak üzere insanların mahremiyetini, kimliğini ve özerkliğini korumak için tasarlanmasına rağmen yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin getirdiği risklerinden ilgili kişileri korumada eksik kalınmaktadır.

Amaç: Çalışmada yapay zekâ uygulamalarının kişisel verilerin korumasına dair doğurabileceği sorunları bulmak ve genel anlamda çözüm önerileri ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Çalışma betimleme yöntemine dayalı niteliksel bir çalışmadır.

Bulgular: Yapay zekâ döneminde, kişisel verilere yönelik ihlallerin niteliği ve ağırlığında da esaslı farklılıklar olmuştur. Kişisel verilerin korunması, kişilik haklarını, özel hayatın gizliliğini, kişilerin manevi bütünlüğünün, şeref ve onurlarının korunması gibi diğer temel haklarla yakın ilgisi olan bir konudur. Yapay zekâ çağında hassas veriler ile hassas olmayan veriler arasındaki nitelik farklılığının azalması; aynı şekilde, anonimleştirilmiş veri ile kişisel veri arasındaki farklılığın da azalması söz konusudur. Bunlara ek olarak, çıkarımların niteliği sorunu ve çıkarımların sebep olduğu önyargı ve ayrımcı kararlar da diğer ciddi bir problemdir. Yapay zekâ algoritmaların kara kutu ve şeffaflık sorunları, teknik açıdan çözülmeyi bekleyen sıradaki problemler arasındadır. İhlal failinin belirlenmesinin güçlüğü ve ihlalin delillerinin elde edilmesinin teknik olarak kolay olmaması ve yüksek maliyetli olması, yapay zekâ döneminde kişisel verilerin koruma kapsamında ortaya çıkan temel problemler arasında yer almaktadır. Bu sorunlar karşısında yapılması gerekenler ise verinin sadece toplanma aşamasında düzenlemelere tabi tutulmayıp, verilerden türetilen çıkarımların da kişisel verilerin korunması kapsamında değerlendirilmesidir. Kişisel veya kişisel olmayan ve hassas veya hassas olmayan verilerin güncel olmayan, etkisiz ve akışkan sınıflandırmalarından vazgeçilmelidir.

Özgünlük: Türkiye’de yapılan ilgili çalışmalara bakıldığında, kişisel verilerin korunması sorunu, yapay zekâ uygulamalarının doğurabileceği sorunlar ve çözüm önerilerini hukuk perspektifinden inceleyen çalışma özgün niteliktedir.

Článek se zabývá existenciální rolí předporozumění u vůdčích zakladatelů kvantové teorie. V první části článek představuje Heideggerovo hermeneuticko-fenomenologické uchopení pojmu rozumění. Ve druhé části se autor pokouší prostřednictvím rozmanitých příkladů aplikovat tuto koncepci na způsob myšlení, s nímž fyzici (Planck, Einstein, de Broglie, Rutherford,Bohr, Heisenberg a Schrödinger) přistupovali k řešení vědeckých hádanek a návrhům nových předpokladů při vzniku kvantové teorie. Text je příspěvkem do debat v rámci filosofie a metodologie vědy, v níž je stále podceňována zásadní role předporozumění ve vědeckých aktivitách.
Metaphysical Necessity in the Neo-Sadraian School and Assessment of Necessitarian Theories of the Laws of Nature
Authors: Darvish Aghajani Javad
Published: May 2021

Abychom mohli rozlišit mezi přírodními zákony a náhodnými zobecněními, je třeba chápat nutnost jako vztah, který může platit mezi přirozenými objekty. V neo-sadraianské islámské filosofii je metafyzická nutnost chápána jako součást vztahu příčiny a následku. Tento článek srovnává neo-sadraianské pojetí nutnosti s teoriemi nutnosti přírodních zákonů, zejména s esencialismem a univerzální teorií. S přihlédnutím ke konkrétním formám al-shûrat al-naw’iyyah, tedy k původu základních vlastností přirozených objektů, se pokusím ukázat, že neo-sadraianští filosofové navrhli perspektivu metafyzické nutnosti, která je epistemologicky a posteriori.

Published: May 2021

As a result of events experienced by almost the entire world, namely the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic which caused almost all public facilities for sea and air transportation to be closed unilaterally by the local government, one of which is that airlines unilaterally cancel airplane tickets to consumers due to the outbreak of the Cocid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that occurs on flight ticket cancellations due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used in this research is normative legal research which is descriptive analysis based on secondary data. The results show that transportation policies during the Covid-19 pandemic have been regulated in laws and regulations related to transportation control in order to prevent the spread of the Covid 19 Virus which has an impact on the unilateral cancellation of airplane tickets by airlines as the reason for Force Majeure because it is a non-natural event. which is unexpected, so this is the responsibility of the airline as a business actor for compensation to consumers for cancellation of plane tickets due to the Covid 19 pandemic on a refund in the form of a full refund (100%) or in the form of airplane ticket vouchers.
Issues and Challenges in Teaching Secondary School Quantum Physics with Integrated STEM Education in Malaysia
Authors: Markus Laurah , Sungkim Stephanie , Ishak Mohd. Zaki Bin
Published: May 2021

The emphasis on STEM education in the physics curriculum moves toward addressing the 21st-century demands, but its implementation is fraught with issues and challenges. This paper exposes teachers’ and students’ concerns and problems with integrated STEM education implementation and relates them to the anticipated problem in quantum physics (QP) learning and facilitation (L&F) in secondary school. The QP L&F challenges include the odd ontological worldview and abstractness of concepts, which have created serious misconceptions among teachers and students. A solution is proposed to address this difficulty, including applying an interactive simulation and a hands-on experiment. This paper also proposes a theoretical framework for developing an instructional module to cater to meaningful QP learning with integrated STEM elements. The proposed theoretical framework has several advantages, including guidance in planning an instructional module applicable to classroom activities and explaining the topic using an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach with learning activities coordinated using the 5E Instructional Model. Nonetheless, further research is necessary to study the instructional module’s development, usability, and L&F effectiveness in the classroom.

Positive and Negative Interactions between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law: What about Son-in-law?
Authors: Leong Mei San , Juhari Rumaya
Published: May 2021

Mother-in-law (MIL) and daughter-in-law (DIL) relationship is frequently studied due to its turbulent nature. Conflict with mother-in-law also contributes to poorer marital satisfaction. However, few researchers have included son-in-law (SIL) in their studies and neglected how this relationship contributes to couples’ marital satisfaction. This study included son-in-law and investigated the relationships between couples’ positive and negative interactions with mother-in-law and their relationships with marital satisfaction. A total of 197 Malaysian Chinese dual-earners (110 males and 87 females) reported on the following scales: positive and negative interactions with mother-in-law, and marital satisfaction. Gender differences are compared between mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship and mother-in-law/son-in-law relationship. These variables were tested via four hypotheses, the relationship between positive interactions with mother-in-law and marital satisfaction, the relationship between negative interactions with mother-in-law and marital satisfaction, and gender differences in the associations tested. Gender differences were found in negative interactions with mothers-in-law and their associations with marital satisfaction. The results were discussed in regards to the importance of the inclusion of son-in-law in examining in-law relationships and marital satisfaction.

Masalah homoseksual di seluruh dunia kian membimbangkan dan Malaysia turut tidak terlepas dari terkena tempias amalan songsang ini. Tambah merunsingkan adalah apabila perangkaan statistik menunjukkan peningkatan trend individu yang mengamalkan homoseksual (gay) ini. Sesungguhnya orientasi seksual terhadap sesama jenis ini mempunyai pelbagai implikasi negatif kepada pengamalnya dan individu di sekeliling mereka seperti ibu bapa dan rakan sebaya. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengenal pasti faktor pengukuhan orientasi seksual terhadap sesama jenis (gay) dalam kalangan remaja lelaki serta implikasinya terhadap keluarga dan rakan sebaya. Maklumat yang diketengahkan adalah berdasarkan kajian kualitatif melalui reka bentuk kajian skop. Sebanyak 36 artikel telah dijumpai dan dipilih dari EBSCO-Host, pangkalan data universiti bermula dari tahun 2015 hingga Januari 2021. Melalui teori pengukuhan atau pembentukan identiti gay yang dikemukakan oleh Cass (1996), pemahaman terhadap pengukuhan orientasi seksual terhadap sesama jenis dalam kalangan remaja dapat dihuraikan secara terperinci. Kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat pelbagai faktor yang membawa kepada pengukuhan orientasi seksual terhadap gay termasuklah faktor genetik, gaya asuhan ibu bapa, naluri dan faktor persekitaran. Orientasi seksual terhadap sesama jenis ini juga telah memberikan pelbagai implikasi negatif kepada perhubungan antara ibu bapa dan rakan sebaya. Konklusinya, kajian ini amatlah relevan dan signifikan dalam membincangkan isu homoseksual kerana ia dapat membantu badan-badan terlibat termasuklah keluarga dan rakan sebaya dalam mengatur strategi-strategi terpilih bagi berhadapan dengan implikasi buruk dari amalan homoseksual ini.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the globe and every strata of community. Effects can be seen in almost all sectors, education being one of the sectors which was greatly impacted. UNICEF cited a number of 1.6 billion children of schooling age affected by the pandemic. Countries all over the world including Malaysia started working on alternatives to ensure that the learning of schooling children continues throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The approach chosen by the Malaysian Ministry of Education was to disseminate classes and lessons via online platforms otherwise known as the practice of e-learning. With existing issues of access and gaps in achievement between the rural and urban communities it was a point of interest to investigate how teachers in different contexts dealt with the e-learning initiative. In this study, the aim was to measure the attitude of the teacher, their level of technological literacy and the challenges that they face despite of their context. The study was conducted as an online survey involving all the English Teachers in the Limbang district with the total population of English teachers amounting to 103. The return rate of the survey generated 50 responses and the gaps in the research were bridged with a protocoled focus group discussion with 5 teachers. This study echoed the findings of previous studies and highlights pertinent issues which must be dealt with before e-learning can be a strong and viable alternative learning mode for Malaysians.
Retos de la Profesión Medica. La Enseñanza de la Bioetica

La Universidad contempla entre sus deberes la misión de transmitir el saber, pero también la de inculcar unos valores y actitudes que les confieran a los estudiantes su caracterización como verdaderos universitarios, en nuestro caso particular, como verdaderos médicos. Desde hace ya varias décadas, especialmente desde la existencia de los Seminarios de Educación Médica, se ha venido señalando como uno de los problemas capitales de la educación, el desequilibrio que hay entre la enseñanza de los valores y la de los saberes.
CUESTIONES ESPECÍFICAS DE LA EJECUCIÓN DE SENTENCIAS URBANÍSTICAS QUE INCIDEN EN LA PROTECCIÓN DEL MEDIO AMBIENTE. ESPECIAL REFERENCIA AL PRINCIPIO DE NO REGRESIÓN DEL SUELO VERDE URBANO
Authors: GEIS I CARRERAS GEMMA
Published: May 2021

El control jurisdiccional del Derecho urbanístico incide en la protección del medio ambiente dada la imbricación entre ambos. La protección del medio ambiente integra el suelo verde de las ciudades. La jurisprudencia más reciente del Tribunal Supremo ha desarrollado el principio de no regresión del suelo verde urbano suelo como límite en la modificación del planeamiento urbanístico. La ejecución de las sentencias urbanísticas presenta unas especificidades propias que tienen especial incidencia en el medio ambiente, tales como: la acción pública urbanística, la caducidad de la fase de ejecución, la nueva causa de suspensión de ejecución de sentencias en la Ley 2/2013, de 29 de mayo, de protección y uso sostenible del litoral. Dichas sentencias presentan una mayor complejidad que no imposibilidad en la fase de ejecución por su dificultad, duración o riesgo de daño ambiental en la restauración. La ejecución deber prever los posibles riesgos ambientales pero no debe paralizarse el cumplimiento de la sentencia.

Hirigintza Zuzenbidearen kontrol jurisdikzionalak eragina du ingurumenaren babesean, biak lotuta baitaude. Ingurumenaren babesean sartzen da hirietako lurzoru berdea. Auzitegi Nagusiaren jurisprudentziarik berrienak hirietako lurzoru berdearen erregresiorik eza garatu du hiri-plangintzaren aldaketan. Hirigintzari buruzko epaiak betearazteak berezitasunak ditu eta horiek eragina dute ingurumenean: adibidez, hirigintza-lan publikoa, betearazte-fasea iraungitzea, epaiak eteteko arrazoi berria itsasertzaren babesari eta erabilera jasangarriari buruzko maiatzaren 29ko 2/2013 Legean. Epai horiek beteraztea ez da ezinezkoa, konplexua baizik, lehengoratzea zaila delako, luzea, edo ingurumenari kalte egiteko arriskua dagoelako. Betearazteak aurreikusi egin behar ditu ingurumenaren gaineko arriskuak, baina epaia geldiarazi gabe.

Judicial review of urban development law has repercussions for environmental protection. Urban green areas are part of the environment and must be protected. The Supreme Court has limited urban development through the principle of nonregression of these urban green areas. Legal controversies surrounding the enforcement of urban development rulings with considerable environmental impact are analyzed. The analysis includes the public urban planning actions taken, the termination of the enforcement phase and the recently suspended enforcement of Coastal Law rulings. The environmental dimension complicates the enforcement phase due to the difficulty, the duration or the possible risk of environmental damage during restoration. Enforcement must take into account these particular features without compromising compliance with the ruling.
¿DESACUERDOS TEÓRICOS O DECISIONES CONTRA LEGEM?
Authors: ITURRALDE SESMA VICTORIA
Published: May 2021

Una característica de los Estados democráticos de derecho es el sometimiento
de todos poderes públicos a las leyes. Por lo que se refiere a los jueces y tribunales,
la afirmación anterior no plantea ninguna duda; sin embargo en la práctica son frecuentes
las decisiones judiciales que, no planteando ninguna duda interpretativa, se toman al
margen de ley. En este artículo analizo si ello se basa en un escepticismo semiótico y si
este es sostenible teóricamente o si, por el contrario, el significado de las normas tiene límites.
Me inclino por esta segunda alternativa, señalando que ese límite viene dado por el
carácter convencional del lenguaje.

Botere publiko guztiak legeen mende egotea da Zuzenbide-estatu demokratikoen
ezaugarrietako bat. Epaileei eta tribunalei dagokionez, aurreko adierazpen horrek
ez du zalantzarik sortzen; praktikan, baina, epai judizial asko hartzen diren legetik kanpora,
interpretatzeko orduan zalantzarik sortu gabe. Artikulu honetan aztertzen dut ea hori
eszeptizismo semiotiko batean oinarritzen den eta hori jasangarria den teorikoki, edo, aldiz,
arauen esanahiak mugak dituen. Bigarren aukeraren alde egiten dut, eta muga hori hizkuntzaren
izaera konbentzionalak ematen duela adierazten dut.

The submission of every public authority to the laws is a characteristic of
the democratic states based on the rule of law. As far as judges and courts are concerned,
the previous statement does not cast doubt; nevertheless in practice there are often
judicial decisions that although without any interpretative doubt, are adopted outside the
law. In this article I analyze whether it is based on a semiotic scepticism and is theoretically
sustainable or on the contrary the meaning of norms has limits. I am inclined for this
second option noting that that limit is given by the conventional character of the language.
LA DIGNIDAD DE LA PERSONA EN EL PROCESO DE LA MUERTE

Todas las personas aspiran a morir en dignidad. Estamos en presencia
de un derecho que no tiene perfilado su contenido exacto y sobre el que no existe todavía
consenso suficiente en nuestra sociedad. A pesar de los avances que se han producido durante
los últimos años en la legislación española y autonómica a la hora de proteger la dignidad
de toda persona ante el proceso de su muerte, todavía sigue siendo necesario concretar
su contenido, titularidad, alcance y límites.

Pertsona guztiek nahi dute duintasunez hil. Eskubide horren edukia ez
dago ongi zehaztuta, eta gure gizartean ez dago gai horren gaineko nahikoa adostasun. Azken

aurrean pertsonen duintasuna babesteari dagokionean, oraindik horren edukia,
titulartasuna, irismena eta mugak zehaztu behar dira.

Every person aspires to die with dignity. We are in presence of a right
whose exact content has not been outlined and with lacking consensus in our society. In
spite of the last years¿ advances in the Spanish and autonomic legislation when it comes
