Authors: Ortiz-Mallasén Víctor , Claramonte-Gual Eloy , Cervera-Gasch Águeda , Cabrera-Torres Esther
Published: September 2021

Introducción: el cuidado familiar cuenta con un peso fundamental dentro de la estructura de atención y cuidados a la dependencia en España. La literatura refiere que su desempeño supone la aparición de numerosas consecuencias negativas para la salud y desarrollo social de quien lo ejerce. Las intervenciones específicas dirigidas a ofrecer atención y apoyo, suelen modificar estos aspectos negativos; sin embargo se recomienda realizar un análisis de las características de la población cuidadora, que facilite su diseño y garantice su efectiva implementación. Objetivo: identificar el perfil sociodemográfico y característico de los cuidadores familiares, usuarios del sistema de atención primaria de la ciudad de Castelló. Métodos: investigación no experimental, de tipo descriptivo y transversal, realizado en el Departamento de Salud de Castelló, sobre cuidadores familiares. Se recogieron datos sociodemográficos y problemas relacionados (sobrecarga, dolor de espalda, apoyo social y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud). Resultados: perfil sociodemográfico en los cuidadores mayoritariamente femenino, de edad media, casadas y con estudios primarios. Presentan sobrecarga, dolor de espalda de nivel medio (con relevante limitación funcional), escaso apoyo social y afectación de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud principalmente vinculada a la ansiedad y dolor. Conclusiones: se observan altos índices de sobrecarga y dolor de espalda, escaso apoyo social y afectación de la calidad de vida relacionada con problemas emocionales y presencia de dolor. Estos hallazgos son semejantes a los encontrados en grupos comparables, y que justifican, sin duda, toda intervención que pueda mejorar las condiciones de este colectivo.

Descripción: Se presenta un caso de una paciente de 23 años sin antecedentes epidemiológicos de importancia, hospitalizada en el servicio de Medicina Interna, con diagnóstico clínico e imagenológico sugestivo de derrame pleural izquierdo asociado a manifestaciones respiratorias y generales. Resultados clínicos: Se practican exámenes de laboratorio complementarios y de esputo bacilos acidorresistentes (BAAR) no concluyentes pero por efecto mecánico y compresivo del derrame pleural, se solicita valoración con Cirugía General, decidiéndose realizar pleurostomía y toma de muestra para determinación de Adenosin Desaminasa (ADA), resultando finalmente positivo a tuberculosis pleural. Tratamiento: Se inicia terapia antituberculosis específica y se descarta esquema antibiótico empírico previamente iniciado. Resultados: El estado general evoluciona favorablemente, con mejoría evidente de los síntomas que motivaron su hospitalización y se decide finalmente egresar y continuar seguimiento por consulta externa. Relevancia clínica: Aún en ausencia de datos epidemiológicos a favor de infección por tuberculosis, la presencia de derrame pleural unilateral debe reorientar la sospecha diagnóstica, no obstante se debe enfatizar que en tales circunstancias la determinación del agente causal por esputos es limitada a un 25%, por lo que no existe en la actualidad ninguna prueba con mayor sensibilidad y especificidad que la determinación de ADA en líquido pleural, lo cual pudiera evitar demoras diagnósticas e inconvenientes relacionados con una terapia no específica.

Published: September 2021

Los virus de hepatitis B (VHB), C (VHC) y D (VHD); producen hepatitis viral crónica (HVC) responsable de 1.4 millones de muertes por cirrosis hepática y carcinoma hepatocelular. La Organización Mundial de la Salud, adoptó estrategias para la eliminación del VHC para el año 2030. La vacunación contra el VHB reduce el 80% de muertes, previene la HVC por VHB, VHD y el carcinoma hepatocelular. La prevención de la transmisión vertical es una estrategia 90% útil para detener la HVC en hijos de madres infectadas con el VHB. El uso apropiado de inyecciones, pesquisaje adecuado de la sangre de dotantes y la selección restrictiva de donantes disminuye el riesgo de VHC. Las medidas de reducción de daño de HVC consisten en proporcionar jeringas estériles a adictos, prevención de accidentes por pinchazos en personal de salud, introducción de dispositivos de seguridad para la prevención de lesiones punzantes, vacunación de todos los trabajadores de la salud y profilaxis posterior a accidentes laborales. El diagnóstico correcto de VHB permitirá instaurar el tratamiento disponible no curativo, mientras que la terapia antiviral de acción directa cura la hepatitis C. El uso de preservativos y nuevos métodos diagnósticos podrían ser estrategias útiles de prevención de HVC.
Palabras claves: hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis viral crónica, cirrosis hepática, erradicación.
ABSTRACT
Chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) associated with Hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV) and D (HDV) viruses are responsible for 1.4 million deaths from liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The World Health Organization has implemented strategies for the elimination of HCV by 2030. Vaccination against HBV reduces 80% of deaths and prevents CVH associated with HBV, HDV, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The prevention of perinatal vertical transmission is the most appropriate strategy to avoid CVH by 90% in children of HBV infected mothers. The use of injections appropriately, the screening of blood from donors, and restrictive donor selection decrease the risk of HCV. CVH harm reduction consist of providing sterile syringes to people who inject drugs (PWID), prevention of accidental puncture in health personnel, introduction of safety devices for the prevention of puncture injuries, vaccination against HBV of all health workers and post-exposure prophylaxis after work related accidents. The correct diagnosis of HBV, will allow the introduction of available non-curative treatment, while direct-acting antiviral therapy cures hepatitis C. The use of condoms and new diagnostic methods could be useful strategies for preventing HCV.
Keywords: hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, chronic viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, eradication.
“Everybody Is an Oil-industry Worker Here”: Discursive-Symbolic Production and Contestation of Intra-city Inequality in а NorthernSingle-industryTown
Authors: Agapov Michail
Published: September 2021

The article analyzes the phenomenon of intra-city inequality under the rule of city-forming enterprises in the northern single-industry (oil) town by employing R. Brubaker’s cognitive-linguistic version of social constructivism. The “capital” of the LUKOIL Oil Company — Kogalym (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra) — was chosen as a research focus. The mechanisms of production and contestation of intra-city inequality in Kogalym are analyzed based on complex historical-field research data. The corporate imageineering (Ch. Rutheiser’s term) of Kogalym, ritual aspects of the town culture, as well as various discursive frameworks of the town’s selfpresentation are considered. We focus our attention on the complex social antagonism between oil workers and non-oil workers; we investigate its causes and dynamics, specifically, through the case of the transformation of the Kogalym Day celebration. We conclude that — in the context of a single-industry town — the cultural hegemony of the dominant group is ensured through closely related practices: the corporate unification of the cultural landscape of the town, consolidation of the dominant group’s point of view in the local historical narrative, reframing of the professional holiday of the dominant group as town-wide, official holiday commemorations, and gift rituals. The grassroot frustration on the part of the excluded is manifested in the form of a folklore reaction to the symbols of the “dominant” group, the creation of a historical narrative and places of memory alternative to the official canon. At the same time, the specific life cycle of the northern single-industry town’s population considerably diminishes its cultural diversity.
Vectors of City Development in Kosovo in the 20th and 21st Centuries: Origins and Consequences
Authors: Ermolin Denis
Published: September 2021

The article explores the social and spatial phenomena in the development of three cities on the territory of Kosovo (and Metohija) — Pristina, Prizren and (Kosovska) Mitrovica in the history of the region in the 20th and 21st centuries. All these cities used to contain Turkish, Albanian, Serbian (and more broadly Slavic-speaking), Jewish and Gypsy quarters with shared urban (as opposed to rural) identities. The paper argues is that the interweaving (sometimes even conflicting) of two vectors — “inner logic” and “the logic of the victor” — forms the image of the city, thereby largely determining the everyday life and behavioral models of its inhabitants. Moreover, the evolving urban space itself can be viewed as an actor segmenting various social, ethnic and confessional communities. Thus, the author poses the following questions: What are the historical prerequisites for the transformations of the sociocultural landscape of the cities of Kosovo at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries? What spatial changes in urban space have followed the new social realities and the armed conflict in Kosovo? How can urban space be used to form and broadcast ideological attitudes by political elites?

O artigo identifica as redes de comunicação social constituintes dos movimentos estratégicos que garantem a visibilidade da pauta do refugiado sírio na agenda social. O fio condutor é a hipótese de ápice midiático, entendido como um fenômeno de acionamento social, em que os agentes provocam irritações e ativam acoplamentos, transformando as estruturas da sociedade. Essas redes criam novas lógicas discursivas, proporcionando imprevisibilidades e complexidades nos processos comunicacionais.

Homens, canoas, pala tas, oresta, animais diversos, sobretudo peixes, entre outros elementos recriam as paisagens natural e urbana de um mundo amazo?nico aqui denominado Do rio. Como nesta regia?o a realidade paradoxal de enfrentamento e interdepende?ncia do homem com a natureza e? diariamente vivida, busco abordar neste trabalho questo?es como vida e morte, viole?ncia e sobrevive?ncia, trabalho e intempe?ries, mas tambe?m beleza, alegria e sonhos.

Authors: Mohammed Maisa Hashem , Abd El-Sadek Ahmed Nagwa
Published: September 2021

Background: Evasion of apoptosis is an essential alteration for cellular genetic mutation. Survivin is a member of inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family. Under normal conditions, Survivin is expressed in embryonic and fetal tissues and markedly diminished in mature, differentiated adult tissues. Survivin was found to be re-expressed in multiple solid and hematological human malignant neoplasms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of Survivin in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and to find statistically significant associations between Survivin and the tested Clinicopathological parameters.Methods: 39 patients with RCCs who underwent nephrectomy were included in the study. From each RCC specimen, two tissue sections were obtained; one was stained by H&E stain to determine both RCC phenotype and Fuhrman’s nuclear grades. The second tissue section was immunohistochemically stained by anti-human Survivin antibody. Results: The study revealed statistically significant associations between Survivin expression in RCC specimens and RCC histological types (p =0.002), high tumor grade (p< 0.001) and advanced tumor stage (p< 0.001). Conclusion: The study revealed that Survivin is positively correlated to poorly differentiated RCCs with high Fuhrman’s nuclear grade and advanced tumor stage.

Species composition and diversity of the rove beetles were studied in main habitats of a large pristine peat bog in Belarus Lake District (North-Western Belarus). Very specific staphylinid assemblages were found. They were characterized by not high species richness and diversity. In these uneven assemblages, a very small number of species: Drusilla canaliculata (Fabricius, 1787), Philonthus cognatus Stephens, 1832, Staphylinus erythropterus Linnaeus, 1758, Ischnosoma splendidus (Gravenhorst, 1806) dominated, while the majority of recorded species were rare. Unlike other inhabitants of the moss layer among the highly abundant species of rove beetles, peat bog specialists were not found. The highest diversity and evenness had the rove beetles assemblages in open spaces. On the other hand, the differences in these assemblages were not high.

The various possibilities that social media offers to language learners and teachers have long been recognized by researchers within the field of language instruction, and many studies have been carried out in an attempt to address and unpack its potential contributions. This paper aims to review such research on the use of mainstream social media in language teaching and learning published in Computer Assisted Language Learning, a top tier (i.e., Q1) journal indexed in major citation index systems (e.g., Arts & Humanities Citation Index, the Social Sciences Citation Index and Scopus), between the years 2016-2020 inclusive. For the purposes of the study, a total of 23 articles that meet the selection criteria is reviewed and presented in five sections. The first section deals with the majority of the articles, which are found to be on the use of social networking in language teaching and learning. In the following sections, studies on the use of videoconferencing, wikis, blogging and forums are discussed. Collectively, the studies reviewed in this paper outline a critical role for the use of social media in language instruction and the study aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, teachers and learners.
Online language learning in times of crisis: Hindrance or opportunity?
Authors: BALBAY Seher , ERKAN Gokce
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to the way teachers teach and students learn. Although there is a surplus of research on online education, the transition period to online education is also worth investigating. This study set out to explore language learners’ perceptions of how they were impacted by emergency remote teaching (ERT). All the participants were students attending an English medium university in Turkey. The mode of teaching, changes in teacher-student and student-student interaction, online tools and materials used in the courses were investigated by a comprehensive self-developed online survey and the data were triangulated later by semi-structured interviews conducted with the volunteering participants. Most found the transition to ERT demanding, particularly the loss of face-to-face interaction; however, some students benefited from being able to better regulate their own learning process thanks to the recorded lectures and online materials. Students also appreciated receiving regular feedback from instructors about their progress.

Purse seine adalah alat tangkap yang efektif untuk menangkap ikan-ikan pelagis yang bersifat bergerombol dan hidup di dekat permukaan air. Alat tangkap ini bersifat aktif karena dalam pengoperasiannya yaitu dengan cara menghalangi, mengurung serta mempersempit ruang gerak dari ikan sehingga ikan tidak dapat melarikan diri. Praktik akhir diadakan pada bulan November 2020 hingga bulan mei 2021. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi partisipan. Dari hasil pengamatan diketahui bahwa teknik pengoperasian alat tangkap yaitu sama seperti purse seine light fishing pada umumnya yang menggunakan bantuan cahaya lampu untuk mengumpulkan gerombolan ikan selanjutnya ikan dialihkan pada lampu bangkra, lalu kapal bergerak melingkari bangkra sambil menurunkan alat tangkap kemudian diikuti dengan pengerutan bagian bawah jaring sehingga ikan terkurung didalamnya. Jenis ikan hasil tangkapan pada KMN. Samudera Windu Barokah umumnya berupa ikan-ikan kecil seperti Layang, Lemuru, Kemung, dan Selar. Sedangkan untuk jenis ikan-ikan besar seperti Tongkol, Layur, Barakuda, Kuwe serta Bawal.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Performance and Stability of Conventional and Islamic Banks in the GCC Region, Malaysia, and Pakistan

Published: September 2021

This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the performance and stability of conventional and Islamic banks. The sample included all the 21 listed Islamic banks (IBs) and 44 listed conventional banks (CBs) from the GCC region, Malaysia, and Pakistan. Quarterly data of these banks covering the period January 2019 to June 2020 were obtained from their quarterly reports. Performance was measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), while stability was measured by the Z-scores of these banks. Based on the previous literature, a better performance of IBs was expected because these banks are based on the participatory mode of financing instead of debt-based financing. However, the results of the current study showed a significant and negative impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of both types of banks, suggesting that either type of banking was significantly affected during the pandemic. However, we did not find any significant evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on the stability of these banks.

Objectives. The increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles necessitates the search for jet fuels based on hydrocarbon materials with high energy intensity and physical density. The purpose of the work was to analyze the influence of various factors on the mass energy intensity of hydrocarbons. This analysis is required to substantiate the algorithm for locating energy-intensive CnHm structures.Methods. Combustion energy was calculated using additive procedures. The calculations were performed using Microsoft Excel.Results. During the analysis of the mass energy intensity of CnHm hydrocarbons, the m/n ratio was discovered to be the decisive factor for achieving high values of the mass energy intensity of hydrocarbons. The energy intensity decreases when moving from alicyclic to cyclic hydrocarbons, and this decrease is not compensated by the production of strain energy. An additive scheme that allows the molar volume of hydrocarbons to be predicted with sufficient accuracy is proposed for calculating the volumetric enthalpies of combustion.Conclusions. According to the thermodynamic analysis, n-alkanes have the highest mass energy intensities. The technology for extracting n-alkanes from oil fractions is well developed, and a decrease in the hydrogen content in the fuel results in a decrease in the mass energy intensity. It appears improbable that the mass and volumetric energy intensities of hydrocarbons seem will reach their maximum values simultaneously. Hydrocarbons that have a high m/n value, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-membered rings, and phenyl fragments may have relatively high mass and volumetric energy intensities at the same time.

Objectives. To develop a method for the microfluidic synthesis of oligohexamethylene guanidine salts in a flow-type reactor and to evaluate its effectiveness in relation to the synthesis in a traditional capacitive reactor and compare the purities of products obtained by these methods.Methods. The synthesis of oligohexamethylene guanidine bihydrocarbonate (OHMG-BHC) was done using microfluidic hardware and the classical approach in volume. The purity and structure of the resulting product were confirmed by 13C NMR spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results. The 13C NMR spectrum of OHMG-BHC in classical bulk synthesis demonstrates that the product is unbranched and contains additionally unidentifiable impurities, in contrast to the sample obtained by the microfluidic method. Furthermore, the HPLC analysis showed that the OHMG-BHC sample synthesized using microfluidic technology has a 1.5-fold lower content than the initial monomers.Conclusions. The advantage of synthesizing OHMG-BHC in a flow-type reactor compared to the traditional method of synthesis in volume is demonstrated since a product with a higher degree of purity is obtained.
