Introdução: O ombro é articulação mais móvel do corpo humano, apresentando pouca estabilidade, e consequentemente sendo mais propenso a lesões, tais como as do MR. As lesões do MR podem ser classificadas em rupturas completas ou parciais, em que na maioria das vezes define o tipo de tratamento utilizado, que podem ser conservadores ou cirúrgicos. O mais comumente utilizado é o conservador, abrangendo a fisioterapia, que utiliza seus recursos e técnicas, a fim de se obter a recuperação completa do membro. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi relatar o caso de uma paciente com diagnóstico de lesão traumática de ombro atendida na Clínica Escola de Fisioterapia da Faculdade FAMP, no período de agosto a dezembro de 2022, totalizando 22 atendimentos, bem como evidenciar as técnicas de tratamento utilizadas. Metodologia: Os dados coletados se deram mediante a utilização da ficha de avaliação padrão do estágio, composto de anamnese e exame físico, através de inspeção e palpação, com mensurações dos graus de amplitude de movimento (ADM) ativo, provas de força muscular (FM), dor, sensibilidade e testes ortopédicos especiais. Resultados: As técnicas abordadas incluíram principalmente: Eletroterapia (TENS e Ultrassom), mobilização articular (Maitland e Mulligan), FNP, e cinesioterapia, onde ao final dos atendimentos proporcionaram redução significativa do quadro álgico, aumento da amplitude de movimento e melhora da força muscular. Conclusão: A abordagem fisioterapêutica utilizando técnicas associadas de eletroterapia, mobilização articular, FNP e cinesioterapia se mostraram eficazes no tratamento de lesão traumática de ombro, demonstrado nos resultados elucidados
Genesis of the Questa Mo Porphyry Deposit and Nearby Polymetallic Mineralization, New Mexico, USA
Authors: Gaynor Sean P. , Rosera Joshua M. , Coleman Drew S.
Published: March 2023

The Oligocene Latir magmatic center in northern New Mexico is an exceptionally well exposed volcano-plutonic complex that hosts a variety of magmatic-hydrothermal deposits, ranging from relatively deep, F-rich porphyry Mo mineralization to shallower epithermal deposits. We present new whole-rock chemical and isotopic data for plutonic rocks from the Latir magmatic center, including extensive sampling of drill core samples of intrusive rocks from the Questa porphyry Mo deposit. These data document temporal chemical trends of porphyry-related mineralization that occurred after caldera-forming magmatism and during postcaldera batholith assembly. Silicic magmas were generated multiple times throughout the history of the Latir magmatic center, but few are associated with the formation of a mineral deposit. Whole-rock trace element ratios and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions vary throughout the protracted history of silicic magmatism. The caldera-forming ignimbrite and early phase of postcaldera intrusions are unmineralized, more enriched in high field strength elements, and generally contain less radiogenic Sr and Pb and more radiogenic Nd than later intrusions. The Questa porphyry Mo deposit formed immediately after the most isotopically primitive phase of the batholith was assembled, ruling out simple reworking of juvenile mantle-derived crust as the source for mineralizing magmas. Rhyolite dikes associated with polymetallic sulfide deposits intruded ~800 k.y. after Mo mineralization, and Nd isotope data indicate that these dikes are associated with different batches of magma and are unrelated to the Mo-mineralizing intrusions at the Questa mine. Together, these data indicate that the source of magmas changed significantly throughout the 10-m.y. history of the magmatic center. We assess multiple genetic models for porphyry-related magmatism against this data set, favoring models with discrete periods of magma genesis from a deep hybridized zone in the lower crust giving rise to the punctuated periods of mineralization. These observations suggest that the formation of mineral deposits within a central magmatic locus is likely the result of the piecemeal assembly of individual hydrothermal-magmatic systems, and that distal and younger polymetallic mineralization commonly observed near known porphyry deposits represents decoupled processes.

RESUMO

Introdução: A Fibrose Pulmonar Idiopática (FPI) está inserida no grupo das pneumonias intersticiais crônicas fibrosantes, sendo a forma mais comum delas. Cursa com uma progressão lenta associada a uma deterioração clínica funcional, que resulta em insuficiência respiratória crônica. É predominante vista em pacientes do sexo masculino, acima dos 50 anos de idade. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma revisão integrativa de literatura sobre as atualizações farmacológicas utilizadas para o tratamento desta patologia. Método: A estratégia de busca compreende as bases de dados eletrônicas Pubmed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Os descritores específicos utilizados foram Fibrose Pulmonar Idiopática, tratamentos e exacerbações dos sintomas. A pesquisa consistiu de artigos apresentados na íntegra, escritos em inglês, espanhol ou portugues, publicados no período de 2012 a 2020, totalizando 226 títulos. Resultados: Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, que evidenciavam uma terapêutica atualizada associada a Fibrose Pulmonar Idiopática, e, critérios de exclusão, os quais não demonstraram relação causal com o tema, foram escolhidos 15 artigos. Discussão: A FPI possui uma história patológica variável e imprevisível desde o momento do diagnóstico. A fisiopatologia desencadeante é controvérsia, agrupando repetidas lesões no epitélio alveolar, fibrose e deposição excessiva de matriz extracelular. O tratamento farmacológico para a FPI deve considerar o estágio da doença, os fatores prognósticos e as comorbidades associadas. Em 2015, houve uma atualização na terapêutica, comprovando os antifibróticos, Pirfenidona e Nintedanibe, como lentificadores da progressão do quadro fibrótico e redutores da mortalidade pela doença. Conclusão: Os medicamentos citados são seguros e eficazes, promovem diminuição na queda da capacidade vital forçada e melhoram a qualidade de vida. A prescrição dos novos fármacos, quando iniciados precocemente, tem uma ação benéfica na desacelaração da progressão da FPI.

Abstract: Ammonia has recently attracted numerous attentions from researchers and policy makers as promising energy and hydrogen carrier for mitigating the carbon footprints in the energy sector. The mature infrastructure for the production, storage, and transportation of ammonia allows a quick role of ammonia in energy systems. By applying green hydrogen and renewable energies, green ammonia can be produced, which makes ammonia even more attractive. Prior to the commercial use of ammonia for large-scale energy systems, e.g., internal combustion engines and stationary gas turbines, a fundamental understanding of the ignition and combustion behaviors of ammonia is essential. In the past decades, a lot of studies on ammonia combustion have been published. Those studies covered broad topics including experimental and numerical investigations which were either fundamental or practical oriented. To continuously follow state-of-the-art and to provide a brief overview of the most recent research on ammonia combustion so that others can easily identify the most relevant work, this review summarizes the recent progress on combustion characteristics of ammonia and ammonia fuel blends as well as their potential use in internal combustion engines. Combining the advantages and drawbacks identified in both fundamental and practical studies, a clearer road map for ammonia application is given.

Abstract: Natural gas has been successfully applied to the operation of internal combustion engines (ICEs) in various applications including automotive vehicles and generator sets, and is becoming a promising alternative fuel in ICEs due to its advantages such as the excellent knock resistance, stable combustion process, and low pollutant emissions. The operation cost of vehicles using natural gas engines (NGEs) is remarkably reduced, as the price of natural gas is over 50% lower than that of gasoline or diesel fuel. This review describes three stages of the NGEs development followed by discussions of natural gas resources, mechanisms underlying structural design and combustion process of NGEs, as well as different technologies applied in NGEs. The scientific guidance for research and development of NGEs is also provided in this review.

The MAPT p.P301L mutation presents as a rare early-onset corticobasal syndrome: A case report
Authors: Li Cheng-Hsuan , Lee Ni-Chung , Lin Kun-Ju , Hsiao Ing-Tsung , Weng Yi-Hsin , Lin Chin-Hsien
Published: March 2023

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is an uncommon movement disorder with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. CBS is generally recognized as a sporadic disorder, although rare familial and isolated genetic cases have been reported among Westerners. We describe a 49-year-old Taiwanese woman that presented with a three-year history of progressive right-hand dystonia, akinetic-rigidity, ideomotor apraxia, and slowness of gait. Her family history included autosomal-dominant parkinsonism with cognitive decline. A genetic analysis revealed a pathogenic heterozygous missense variant, c.902C>T (p.P301L), on exon 10 of the MAPT gene. The antemortem diagnosis of CBS was supported by clinical, structural, brain glucose metabolism, and tau protein molecular positron emission tomography imaging data. These findings expanded the phenotypic spectrum of the MAPT p.P301L mutation. A literature review illustrated the genetic pleiotropy of MAPT mutations in tau-related neurodegenerative disorders. This study was the first to describe a patient in an Asian family with a MAPT mutation that presented as young-onset CBS. Our findings demonstrated the heterogenous phenotypic spectrum of this rare genetic variant. MAPT mutations should be considered in patients with early-onset or familial CBS in the Asian population.

Published: March 2023

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting futile recanalization among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT).
Methods: A total of 97 AIS patients who achieved complete or near-complete recanalization after EVT were included in our study. Clinical, angiographic, and laboratory data were analyzed retrospectively. Using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after the intervention, the patients were divided into two groups, the futile recanalization group (mRS ≥3) and the favorable recanalization group (mRS ≤2). The receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine the cut-off value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting futile recanalization.Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis analyzed the association between the CHA2DS2-VASc score and futile recanalization risk after EVT.
Results: The CHA2DS2-VASc score was significantly higher in patients with futile recanalization compared to patients with favorable recanalization [4 (3-6) vs. 3 (1-4), p=0.002]. A ROC curve analysis revealed that the cut-off value of CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting futile recanalization was >3, with sensitivity and specificity of 65% and 72%, respectively (Area under curve (AUC), 0.697; 95% Confidence interval (CI):0.580-0.814). In multivariate analysis;the CHA2DS2- VASc score (Odds ratio (OR)=1.637, 95% CI:1.181-2.334, p=0.004) and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR=1.217, 95% CI:0.985-1.503, p=0.039) were found independent predictors for futile recanalization after EVT.
Conclusion: The CHA2DS2-VASc score can be used as a simple and effective tool to predict futile recanalization in patients with AIS.
Safety of edaravone in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Badillo Stephanie Patricia , Navarro Jose
Published: March 2023

Background & Objective: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability, however many patients do not benefit from time-limited reperfusion therapies. Edaravone is a neuroprotective agent that has been shown to improve neurologic impairment after ischemic stroke. This paper aims to review and synthesize evidence on the safety of edaravone in acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and observational studies on the use of edaravone with standard stroke treatment, versus standard stroke treatment alone, among patients with acute ischemic stroke. Mortality was regarded as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes of interest were other neurologic safety outcomes (intracerebral hemorrhage, hemorrhagic transformation) and systemic safety outcomes (renal and hepatic impairment, other adverse drug reactions).
Results: 15 studies were included. The total number of study participants was 15,654, with 81.5% given edaravone and 18.4% given control. Overall, edaravone treatment was associated with a significantly reduced risk of mortality compared to control (RR 0.63, p<0.00001, 0.95% CI 0.52-0.75). Among ischemic stroke patients given reperfusion therapy, edaravone treatment was associated with lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.32-1.84), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.16-1.84) and hemorrhagic transformation (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.32-1.41), however results were not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that the use of edaravone in addition to standard treatment among patients with acute ischemic stroke is associated with lower risk of mortality. Larger high- quality trials outside Asia with longer length of follow-up are recommended for further investigation.
Can isotretinoin be used in treating multiple neurofibromas thanks to its apoptotic effect?
Authors: Kuş Mine Müjde , Öztürk Perihan
Published: March 2023

The most common benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath is neurofibromas. The only known curative treatment is total surgical excision. In neurofibromatosis patients with multiple cutaneous neurofibromas, it is not possible to treat all neurofibromas with surgical excision. We happened on a case of neurofibromatosis type-1, whose neurofibromas shrank while using isotretinoin for the treatment of excessively oily skin and postadolescent acne. We think that isotretinoin executes this effect through its apoptotic mechanism of action.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: To explore the prevalence and predictive factors of progressive lacunar stroke (PLS).
Methods: Consecutive patients with acute lacunar stroke, who were admitted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital during 1st July 2015-30th June 2018, were retrospectively recruited. The clinical lacunar stroke was defined as acute motor deficit lasting more than 24 hours and clinical syndrome compatible with pure motor hemiparesis, ataxic hemiparesis or sensorimotor stroke. The patients with cardioembolism or imaging shown cortical involvement was excluded. PLS was considered if there was an increase in NIHSS more than 2 points during admission. Patient characteristics, clinical data, imaging findings and medical treatment during admission was statistically analyzed. Functional outcome was assessed based on the modified Rankin Scale at discharge and 3 months.
Results: Of 302 patients, 70 (23.2%) had PLS. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age at stroke onset more than 60 years (adjusted odd ratio [aOR], 2.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-4.06, p=0.016), initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) more than 165 mmHg (aOR 2.40, 95%CI 1.25-4.61, p=0.008), white blood cell (WBC) more than 8500/ microliters (aOR 1.95, 95%CI 1.05-3.62, p=0.034), pontine infarction (aOR 1.99, 95%CI 1.07-3.71, p=0.031), branch atheromatous disease (BAD) (aOR 2.47, 95%CI 1.37-4.48, p=0.003), and significant vessels stenosis relevant to infarction (aOR 2.41, 95%CI 1.09-5.36, p=0.031) were independent predictors of PLS.
Conclusion: Age more than 60 years, initial SBP more than 165mmHg, WBC more than 8500/microliters, pontine infarction, BAD and significant symptomatic artery stenosis are associated with PLS.

Authors: Mohamad Nasibah , Sayuti Khairil Amir , Mustapha Muzaimi
Published: March 2023

Background & Objectives: The cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) manifest as white matter lesion (WML) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study shows a lower white matter integrity in white matter lesion (WML) and its penumbra region, suggesting cerebral white matter damage. The aim of this study is to establish correlation between the DTI values of white matter with the age related white matter changes (ARWMC) visual rating score and identify predictors of ARWMC score.
Methods: 63 brain MRI images of subjects were selected. Relevant clinical information of the subjects which satisfied QRISK2 risk factors were retrieved from the patients’ folder. DTI parameters were obtained via postprocessing at OsiriX DTImap workstation.
Results: FA frontal (r = -0.36; p = 0.003) and AD frontal (r = -0.26; p = 0.040) had a substantial and negative correlation with the ARWMC score. There was a significant positive correlation shown between the ARWMC score and RD frontal (r = 0.30; p = 0.018). There were positive significant association between the ARWMC score and age (b(95%CI): 0.106 (0.061, 0.151); p<0.001) and QRISK2 score (b(95%CI): 0.235 (0.036, 0.433)).
Conclusion: DTI is a good method to study the cerebral white matter integrity. It was found that frontal lobe is the first region affected in relation to ageing, in particular the myelin integrity. Increasing age and higher QRISK2 cardiovascular risk factors were shown to increase the ARWMC score.

Authors: ÖZDEMİR Serap , ELMAOĞLU Erhan
Published: March 2023

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between household conflict and parental attitude during the quarantine period.

Material and Method: This study cross-sectional, and web-based was conducted. A maternity and child hospital located in southeast in Turkey between 24 May and 30 June 2021, particularly after the 3-week full-lockdown. Power analysis was used to determine the sample size, and accordingly, the study was completed with a total of 246 parents with children aged 2-6. In the study, a questionnaire regarding socio-demographic data and Household Conflict, which is a subscale of the COVID-19 Household Environment Scale, and Parent Attitude Scale was used.

Results: It was shown that the parents participating in the study were highly democratic and overprotective, moderately authoritarian and permissive. It was determined that conflicts for the family increased during the pandemic process, and that conflict decreased when the parents displayed a democratic attitude. It was established that intra-familial conflict increased when parents exhibited authoritarian, overprotective and permissive attitudes, and in addition, it was found that intra-familial conflict increased when the number of children increased.

Conclusion and Recommendations: Consequently, it was found that intra-family conflict affected parental attitude. Support strategies can be created for families at risk. Nurses identify families in this environment and provide necessary care, training, and consultation service.

Study on the effect of ESG ratings of companies on financial restatement
Authors: Chen Xiaojun , Yuan Chenchen , Chen Jinfeng
Published: March 2023

A good ESG rating is a positive indicator of a company's high quality and helps to discipline corporate behaviour, thereby reducing the phenomenon of financial restatement. This paper examines the impact of ESG ratings on financial restatement and conducts further heterogeneity analysis in an attempt to find new ways to improve corporate financial performance. The findings show that there is a significant negative relationship between ESG rating and financial restatement. The results of the heterogeneity analysis indicate that the inhibitory effect of ESG rating on financial restatement gradually increases when the solvency or equity concentration of a company increases. The findings of this paper help listed companies to understand the importance of ESG rating results and make reasonable use of ESG rating information to reduce the possibility of financial restatement, and then explore the potential impact of ESG rating on the internal financial behaviour of listed companies in China.
Nationalistic Propaganda as a Strategy for Patriotic Upbringing in Russian Education
Authors: Iashchenko Iuliia
Published: March 2023

This article outlines the radical transformation of educational policies in Russia since 2020, displaying the timing of the individual stages of the rooting of state propaganda in schools, the militarization of school education, and the spread of neo-nationalist ideology among schoolchildren aged 6 to 19.

Bankaların bilançolarındaki aktiflerinin önemli bir kısmını vermiş oldukları krediler oluşturmaktadır. Aynı durum katılım bankaları için de geçerlidir. Katılım bankalarının aktif kalitelerinin bozulmaması için vermiş oldukları finansmanların tahsilinin imkân dâhilinde olması son derece önemlidir. Gerekli bütün önlemlerin alınmasına rağmen bazı durumlarda verilen finansmanlar takibe düşmekte ve sorunlu alacak durumuna gelmektedir. Bu durumda konvansiyonel bankalar gerekli şartları taşıması koşuluyla takipteki kredilerini faizli bir yöntemle yapılandırmakta ya da iskontolu olarak “Varlık Yönetim Şirketleri”ne satmaktadırlar. Katılım bankacılığında problemli olan bu yöntemler yerine çeşitli uygulamaların yer aldığını görmekteyiz. Özellikle takibe düşen alacakların tahsili noktasında katılım bankacılığı için borç yapılandırma yöntemi olarak uygulanan vefa (geri alım hakkı) sözleşmesi, alternatif bir borç yapılandırma yöntemi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada vefa sözleşmesinin yapısı ve işleyişi ele alındıktan sonra zikri geçen sözleşmenin, klasik fıkıhta yer alan alacağın satımı (bey‘u’d-deyn) konusu kapsamında değerlendirmesi yapılacaktır. Ayrıca bu çalışmayla, hâlihazırda borç yapılandırma yöntemi olarak uygulanan vefa sözleşmesinin, katılım bankalarının yapılandırma amacıyla kullandığı diğer yöntemlere nazaran alternatif bir yöntem olduğunu göstermek hedeflenmektedir.

The study explores the assessment of mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforcement in concrete production. Aimed at replacing the high cost conventional reinforcement in building constructions. The identical steel fibers are utilized at varied volume fractions of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% by the weight of cement. Compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength are among the strengths taken into account in this investigation. Eight beams and four cylindrical samples were prepared for the tests. Results obtained indicated that adding steel fiber to concrete with different volume fractions and the same aspect ratio significantly improved the results for compressive strength and flexure strength. The experimental results showed that the fibers alter the failure character from splitting of the concrete by significantly increasing the cracking resistance, and thereby noticeably increase the load bearing capacity of the elements. Therefore, fiber reinforcement can be used in place of high yield reinforcements in a low cost structures.

The pathogenesis of Tuberculosis shows that M. tuberculosis target and persist within phagocytes including T-lymphocytes in blood circulation. As a result, the possibility of cellular interaction between M. tuberculosis and HIV, especially for patients that are co-infected with HIV and TB, and subsequent exchange of genetic material via transduction needs to be investigated. Three hundred and eighty sputum samples mostly from suspected rifampicin-resistance patients were collected from Nigerian Airforce (NAF) Hospital Makurdi, and Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Makurdi. In vitro culture of sputum samples, Drugs Susceptibility Testing (DST) of M. tuberculosis isolates, and transduction protocol were carried out at the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Training Centre (NTBLTC) Zaria, Nigeria. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student’s t-test. Minitab version 14.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. P-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Twenty-six (9.7%) cases of Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were detected (retreated cases 7.1%; treatment naive 2.6%). Twenty-one (80.8%) were males and 5(19.2%) were females. There was statistical difference in MDR-TB between male and female in Benue State (P<0.05). The mean age group 35-45 years had the highest cases of MDR-TB accounting for 35% of MDR-TB. Human-immunodeficiency virus and Tuberculosis co-infected patients (category I) had the highest MDR-TB incidence of 10(38.5%). There was no significant difference between category-1 and category-III [patient with only TB disease (P>0.05)]. However, there were elevated cases of MDR-TB in category-III patients from 7(26.9%) to 10(38.5%) following transduction protocol. Multi-drugs resistant tuberculosis is prevalent in Benue State, affecting the most economically active youths within the age group of 35-45 years, as a result the need to direct more attention on molecular basis for M. tuberculosis drugs resistance is therefore advocated, in order to win the war against multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.

Chronic infection with urogenital schistosomiasis can lead to severe complications such as bladder cancer. Hence, this study determined the presence of Cancer Genetic Markers among School Children in relation to Urogenital Schistosomiasis. All 36 S. haematobium positive cases from an earlier study and randomly selected 156 negative samples were used. Immunogens tested for, included glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3). Mean optical density (OD) was 0.73 and 0.79 for GAPDH and FGFR3 respectively. A total of 21 (10.94%) participants, 16 females and 5 males were positive for GAPDH marker. Fifty (26.04%) participants were positive for FGFR3 via ELISA cutoff. Mean OD for S. haematobium positive individuals tested for GAPDH was 0.938, minimum value was 0.119 while maximum value was 4.507. For FGFR3 mean OD was 0.896, Maximum 2.882 and minimum 0.28, while females showed higher GAPDH OD. More females than males who were positive for S. haematobium were also positive for GAPDH (11.1%) and FGFR3 (25%). FGFR3 and GAPDH marker prevalence for Individuals Positive for S. haematobium is 25% and 16.7% respectively. The age group 11-15 years were the only group positive for GAPDH. There was a slight positive correlation between age and FGFR3 and age and GAPDH. The presence of these markers is an indicator that the children in the selected communities maybe at risk of developing bladder cancer in the future if the disease is not properly managed and controlled.

The extent to which an individual feels self-motivated, content & satisfied with his/her job is job satisfaction. By enhancing job satisfaction among the employees, the organization can creates happier employees. It will eventually lower costs for hiring and training new personnel and also create more motivated and productive employees. This descriptive study was carried out to find out the various factors that influence job satisfaction of health employees of varying specializations working in a tertiary level Governmental Hospital of Nepal. The participants were asked to respond the questionnaires largely based upon the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) questionnaires developed by Paul E. Spector (1997) using 5-point likert scale. Convenience sampling method was employed in the study. Similarly, the study also relied on the publications of the various related agencies for its secondary sources in regard to data collection. Only 28.1% of the participants were found to be satisfied. The study proposes that hospital employees perceive supervision, recognition, pay& benefits, promotion, work environment and autonomy as significant factors affecting their job satisfaction. Also demographic variables like age, rank and education qualification has a significant relationship with job satisfaction while gender, marital status and work experience didn’t show any significant correlation with job satisfaction. The study provides an insight to the policy makers about the various factors that need to be considered for uplifting the job satisfaction level of the health professionals and hence uplifting the standard of the health care system of the Governmental Hospital.

"Emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts" was seen as a manifesto for reform and opening up, It has restored the ideological line of Marxism to our Party. It can be seen that the importance of this proposition itself, it is related to the crucial line problem, deviating from this proposition is very likely to lead us back to the non-Marxist line. Therefore, I think it is still very necessary to study this proposition today. This paper sets out from the proposition itself of "emancipating the mind" to deepen the understanding of Marxism.
