Introductioan: The basic conception of the realization of security in the territorial waters essentially has two dimensions, namely the enforcement of sovereignty and the enforcement of security which are interrelated with each other.Purposes of the Research:  This study aims to analyze and discuss the interoperability between Lantamal IX and Kamla of the East Maritime Zone in law enforcement in the Maluku Sea is viewed from the perspective of legal harmonization and the obstacles faced by Lantamal IX and Kamla of the East Maritime Zone in Law Enforcement in the Maluku Sea when interoperability is connected. with efforts to harmonize the law.Methods of the Research: The research was conducted using a normative juridical method with a c statutory approach, conceptual approach and comparative approach a by specifically analyzing the performance of the institution and its authority in the implementation of law enforcement in the Maluku Sea based on the legislation which was then analyzed qualitatively.Results of the Research: The results showed that Lantamal IX and Kamla East Maritime Zone had the same authority in conducting security and safety patrols in the Maluku Sea, thus potentially causing overlapping authorities. Therefore, interoperability is needed between the two institutions in order to create synergy and minimize the occurrence of sectoral egos. So far, the interoperability of Lantamal IX and Kamla of the East Maritime Zone has been established, but it has not run optimally and continuously. Functional analysis of the collaboration between LANTAMAL IX and the East Maritime Zone Kamla shows that there are obstacles related to juridical and material aspects. In the juridical aspect, the East Maritime Zone Kamla does not have the authority to investigate so that the ship being considered must be handed over to the authorized agency. In addition, there has been no renewal of the memorandum of understanding between BAKAMLA and TNI Headquarters. As a result, patrol operations are not supported by Indonesian Navy warships. Meanwhile, materially, the facilities and infrastructure of the East Maritime Zone Kamla are minimal while BAKAMLA has a large enough budget for the implementation of operations. Likewise, the synergy of operations and sharing of data and information has not been maximized. Therefore, interoperability is needed through harmonization of law and synergy.
Rotator manşet tendinopatisinde ağrı şiddeti ile skapular kasların dayanıklılığı ve kor kaslarının işlevselliği arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi
Authors: Erdoğanoğlu Yıldız , Görgülü Özlem
Published: January 2022

Amaç: Rotator manşet tendinopatisi olan hastalarda, ağrı şiddeti ile skapular kasların dayanıklılığı ve kor kaslarının işlevselliği arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya, 25-65 yaşları arasında rotator manşet tendinopatisi tanısı almış 40 hasta (25 kadın, 15 erkek) dahil edildi. Hastaların ağrı şiddetleri Numerik Ağrı Skalası (NAS) ile, skapular kasların dayanıklılığı skapular kassal endurans testi (SKET), kor kaslarının işlevselliği ise tek bacak duvar oturuşu testi ve tekrarlayan tek bacakla çömelme testi ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların, yaş ortalaması 43,95±10,12 yıl, ağrı şiddeti ortalamasıı 6,57±1,41, skapular kas dayanıklık ortalaması 24,525±20,13 sn, tek bacakla duvar oturuş testi ortalaması 12,9±10,01 sn ve tek bacakla çömelme testi ortalaması 6,85±3,93 tekrar idi. Hastaların, ağrı şiddetleri ile skapular kasların dayanıklılığı (p= 0,021, r=-0,363) ve kor kaslarının işlevselliği (Tek Bacak Duvar Oturuş Testi Dominant ve Tekrarlayan Tek Bacakla Çömelme Dominant) arasında (p= 0,007, r=-0,417; p= 0,042, r=-0,323, sırasıyla) negatif yönlü orta şiddette anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Hastaların, skapular kaslarının dayanıklılığı ile kor kaslarının işlevsellikleri (Tek Bacak Duvar Oturuş Testi Dominant ve Tekrarlayan Tek Bacakla Çömelme Dominant) arasında ise pozitif yönlü kuvvetli anlamlı ilişki olduğu görüldü (p= 0,001, r= 0,868; p= 0,001, r= 0,742).

Sonuç: Rotator manşet tendinopatisi tanısı almış hastaların orta şiddette ağrı bildirdikleri, skapular kas dayanıklılığı ve kor kasları işlevselliğinin azaldığı görülürken; ağrı şiddetinin artması ile skapular kas dayanıklılığı ve kor kasları işlevselliğinin azaldığı görüldü. Bu sonuçlar, rotator manşet tendinopatisi tanısı almış hastaların fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programlarında skapular kas dayanıklılığı ve kor kasları işlevselliğini arttırmaya yönelik rehabilitasyon uygulamalarının göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini düşündürdü.

Authors: Kajwang Ben
Published: January 2022

Purpose: The insurance industry is one of the industries that have experienced the Fourth Industrialization Revolution due to the ever-changing technology which will greatly affect the future of labour market. As a result, most insurance companies are reinventing their business and organizational strategies in order to modernize their workplace as well as acquire employers and employees with skills that can adapt to the new changes in technology. The objective of this study was to analyze the crucial skills required in the modern workplace by insurance sector employers. The aim of this study was to help the readers understand the crucial skills required by employees in the modern workplace and their importance in the insurance sector.

Methodology: A desktop literature review was used for this purpose. Relevant seminal references and journal articles for the study were identified using Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria entailed papers that were not over five years old.

Findings: Most insurance sectors aim to remain efficient and competitive in the rapidly changing global market. The challenge that affects the competitiveness and productivity of insurance sector are closely linked with the lack of the crucial skills necessary in the modern workplace. It is evident that from this review, researchers have emphasized on acquiring of various crucial skills that adapt to the ever-evolving technology in the modern workplace and specifically in the insurance sector.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The following are the recommendations were made: Insurance sectors should oftenly conduct training programs that will enable insurance providers gain essential skills that align with the evolving technology in this industry. Employers should not focus on gaining professional and technical skills only but also learn the soft skills that are essential when interacting with colleagues and customers. Insurance providers should document their work ethics to the public even if it’s through the online platform.

Published: January 2022

El presente artículo aborda, a partir de la criminología crítica, la estandarización de la prisión preventiva en nuestro medio como error en el que influyen esencialmente dos elementos: la llamada “criminología mediática”, la que engloba dentro de sí los medios de comunicación y sus efectos en la opinión pública; y, por otra parte, los partícipes de la criminalización primaria y secundaria sometidos a presión por esta opinión pública manipulada y distorsionada. Asimismo, se pone en duda la excepcionalidad de esta medida además se analizan los presupuestos materiales de la prisión preventiva y su incidencia en el imputado cuando padece de esta medida en las dimensiones de salud, presunción de inocencia y libre desarrollo, lo que, con ayuda de los datos estadísticos, permite concluir que en nuestro medio se la utiliza para aplacar sentimientos de venganza colectiva, la imposición de esta atiende a los reclamos de justicia de la sociedad receptora del constructo irreal que hacen los medios y también se debe a que los presupuestos que señala la norma son reunibles hasta en procesos simplísimos, concluimos que se necesita una serie de modificaciones en los presupuestos materiales, como también se debe regular la emisión de información por parte de los medios sobre la manera de presentar información responsable y objetiva, a fin de permitir a la ciudadanía concebir una opinión adecuada de la realidad.
Re-Mystifying the West: Hybridity and Spirituality in Jim Jarmusch’s 'Dead Man'
Authors: Năstase Florina
Published: January 2022

The paper intends to examine the ways in which the American West has undergone a cinematic transformation with the advent of counter-cultural western movies that criticize and often dismantle American imperialism and expansionism. The paper makes the argument that the American West has arrived at a new stage in its mythology, namely that it has been re-mythologized as a locus of Eastern spiritual awakening. The western of the 1990s’ decade embraces a rebirth of spiritualism through the genre of the “acid western,” typified in this paper by Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man (1995), a film that showcases the return of the West as a cultural frontier that must be re-assimilated instead of rejected. Given its symbolic title, Dead Man is not so much a Western as it is an Eastern romance, a rite of passage framed as a journey towards death. The paper will attempt to make its case by tackling the history of anti-establishment cinema, while also basing its argument on the assertions of director Jim Jarmusch, and various film critics who discuss the issue of the “acid western.” At the same time, the paper will offer a post-colonial perspective informed by Homi Bhabha’s theory of hybridity, with particular emphasis on Native American identity.
Culture-Bound Web-Based Institutional Academic Texts. The Case of Some Romance Language University Websites in English
Authors: Păștinaru Ioana-Carmen
Published: January 2022

The internationalisation process of European higher education over the past years largely encouraged the translation into English of many university websites. However, the (deliberate or nondeliberate) presence of culture-bound terms on the English version of university websites represents an issue of debate, considering the worldwide provenance of visitors accessing the websites and the purpose of these texts. The main goal of this article is to analyse the appropriateness of translation strategies used for the culture-bound terms on university websites. The practical part of this research uses Aixelá’s classification of translation strategies for the analysis of the culture-bound terms identified on some Romance language university webpages translated into English, allowing a series of suggestions and recommendations in each case. The study results have demonstrated that the strategy of conservation through repetition is used most often. Last but not least, this paper intends to raise awareness as to the translator’s role and the impact of the quality of translations of university webpages into English as a lingua franca.
A Few Notes on C.S. Lewis’s Understanding of the Tao
Authors: Cernăuți-Gorodețchi Mihaela
Published: January 2022

In his series of three lectures delivered at King’s College, Newcastle, part of the University of Durham, in February 1943 and published the following year under the title The Abolition of Man; or, Reflections on Education with Special Reference to the Teaching of English in the Upper Forms of Schools, C.S. Lewis passionately argues for the preservation or reinstatement of “the sole source of all value judgements”, represented, in his opinion, by “traditional values”, that he calls “for convenience the Tao, and which others may call Natural Law or Traditional Morality or the First Principles of Practical Reason or the First Platitudes.” This article looks a little closer at the specific meaning of the Tao selected (and then adapted) by C.S. Lewis from a rather complex and fluid philosophical paradigm informed by two contrasting (Taoist and Confucian, respectively) schools of thought.

Reality and Evangelism in the Lives and Works of C.S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer
Authors: Little Bruce A.
Published: January 2022

The thesis of this paper is that the shared commitment of C.S. Lewis and Francis A. Schaeffer to metaphysical realism formed the basis of their development and practice of pre-evangelism. Pre-evangelism is defined as a work to be done prior to evangelism. It appears each developed his views independent of the other suggesting it was their mutual commitment to metaphysical realism that accounts for their similar views of pre-evangelism. These shared ontological commitments led Lewis and Schaeffer to ask defining questions of the naturalists (Lewis) and the existentialists (Schaeffer to lead the non-believer to consider held beliefs in light of the way things are. In this way, the non-believers’ beliefs were not first measured against Christian beliefs, but against the way creation presents itself to everybody. As Schaeffer would say, allow the non-believer to see the conclusions of his own beliefs. Put another way, Lewis would say that it was to show a person that he was wrong before showing him why he was wrong. Both believed mind independent reality as precisely the way to do this. The conclusion here is that metaphysical realism offers the same advantages for evangelism in the post Christian and atheistic atmosphere of the 21st Century.
Is Tumblr the New Narnia? A Few Reflections on C.S. Lewis, Romanticism and Their Relevance on Media and Cultural Studies
Authors: Munteanu Dinu G.
Published: January 2022

Drawing on ethnographic and semiotic observations made by the author on the microblogging platform Tumblr, this paper argues that C.S. Lewis’ critical literary heritage, particularly his reflections on the psycho‑aesthetic, imaginative value of ‘Kappa’ (hidden / cryptic) elements in fiction, retains its relevance today and can provide analytical insights to contemporary media and cultural analysts. A brief empirically‑informed argument will be presented, building on material extracted from a loosely‑woven community of ‘nostalgic’ bloggers. Their collaborative use of hypermedia, including literary citations, illustrations, animations and photographs, will be analysed, in an attempt to understand the Romantically-informed emotional and historiographic construction of ‘nostalgic’ visual discourse, as represented throughout this specific digital environment.
Phraseological Transformations – A Reflection of the Author’s View of the World
Authors: Nehrych Natalia
Published: January 2022

The paper focuses on idioms of the English language as a reflection of the author’s view of the world in the writings of British postmodern writers. It is essential to be familiar with such linguistic routines of the language as idioms or phraseological units so as to be able to occasionally deviate from them if necessary. The paper aims to describe the transformations of phraseological units in some texts by Jasper Fforde. It proposes a comprehensive approach that integrates generally scientific, generally linguistic and phraseological methods and techniques of analysis.
Semantic Primes of Perception from the Perspective of Word Formation
Authors: Zaslonkina Anna
Published: January 2022

The object of the present study is the domain of Greimassian semiotic theory. Several previous findings on supraindividual phenomena have been summarized and theoretical underpinnings of the so-called thymic category have been extended. Investigation of such an object discloses the relation between the experiential (which approximates the sensational) and the cognitive nature of perception. Whereas conceptual universals that bear the information on feelings, senses and emotions such as those inherent in the corporal framework which correspond to the basic level of categorization have already been demonstrated, their iconic efficiency in terms of Peircian semiotics is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of the current analysis is to clarify structural-semantic links between derived and root words constituting the thymic lexical corpus of modern English. This paper emphasizes the importance of understanding how the motivational means conditioned by the classification of associative-figurative and evaluative features of the conceptual triad SENSE : FEELING : EMOTION are exteriorised within the thymic category. These characteristics can be developed and enhanced through the iconic reflection of the correlation between the native speakers’ evaluation of the sign acting as a motivator and the expressive as well as gnoseological functions of perception.
Error Analysis in the Formal Training for Simultaneous Interpreting
Authors: Franțescu Oana-Maria
Published: January 2022

Training interpreters is conventionally understood as predominantly ensuring that they have a sufficient amount of practice in specially equipped laboratories and some theoretical knowledge from the field of translation studies. However, despite the established existence of quality standards for interpreters and their work, very little can be standardized in what concerns their training due to the numerous levels of difference between the languages in which interpretars operate. This paper aims to explore the errors occuring in the basic training of third-year students in simultaneous interpreting by using a selected sample of recorded and scripted speeches delivered in class in the original (Source Language) and Target Language versions. The study focuses on the interpreting issues occuring between English and Romanian and explores the factors these issues originate from.
Metaphorical Verbalization of the Concept 'Woman' in the Victorian Novels of Mary Braddon
Authors: Novosadska Olena
Published: January 2022

The representation of women in the written texts of the Victorian Era has received a great deal of attention and critics have analysed different strategies used for the description of women in novels. This paper looks at a particular device employed by the Victorian novelist Mary Braddon in the representation of women, namely, the use of conceptual metaphors. Women and metaphors alike are at once meditational and relational. A woman serves to mediate between man and man, man and Nature, man and Spirit. The research deals with repeated metaphors presenting women in the guise of foods, animals, babies, parts of the body, members of the aristocracy and supernatural creatures. Bearing in mind the social force of metaphor in our understanding of the world and of ourselves as well as the important role language plays as a channel through which ideas and beliefs are transmitted and perpetuated, the present study attempts to offer a preliminary exploration of how images of women are transmitted and perpetuated by the Victorian novelist Mary Braddon through linguistic metaphors.
John Leech and "Punch" - Tattooing the Story of an Age in a 'Newspaperized World'
Authors: Avarvarei Simona Catrinel
Published: January 2022

As tattoos are both drawing and text that imprint the epidermis in inky arabesques of Delphic symbolism, Punch or The London Charivari acted, for more than one-hundred and sixty-one years (1841-2002) as the sharply witty, bitterly satirical chronicle of its own time. With a weekly circulation of approximately 50,000 – 60,000 issues in the mid-Victorian period, Punch became one of the most influential journalistic witnesses in mid-Victorian Britain, renowned for its unique sense of humour, audacious approach to current social and political matters and, most of all, for an unprecedented mastery of caustic illustrations, in a fresh approach to capture and caricaturise the spirit of the epoch, equally unprecedented in its dynamism and expansion. Although throughout the 1840s the magazine built its popularity more on political analysis than on satirical drawing, ”Punch's Pencillings” would turn the magazine into a vivid fresco, whose inimitable touch and magnetism have come to be osmotically associated with John Leech (1817-1864). With his undeniably remarkable artistic touch he managed not only to define the overall architecture of the magazine, but also to create a new understanding of humorous drawings, introducing the world to the concept of 'cartoon' as we all know it today. This article examines a selection of his three-thousand drawings published in Punch, in an attempt to recompose, through curved charcoal lines, the jigsaw of what Henry James coined as “newspaperized world,” at times when, as Lucy Brown argues, Britain was forging the modern concept of news. It is not only the social, cultural and political milieu that interests us, but also the extratextual implications of a visual appearance and narrative that pervaded the literary scene, as nineteenth-century journalism shared its boundaries with the realm of literary fiction.
The Blitz Gothic: War and Language in Elizabeth Bowen's "The Demon Lover"
Authors: Năstase Florina
Published: January 2022

The paper intends to explore Elizabeth Bowen’s stylistic choices in her wartime short story, The Demon Lover (1945), wherein the experience of war is rendered in gothic form as a supernatural occurrence. Bowen’s predilection for framing aspects of war in an inverted manner is well-documented in such novels as The Heat of the Day (1949), and her appeal to the fantastic is part of an Irish tradition, ranging from Bram Stoker to John Banville. The paper attempts to analyze the way in which the gothic mode, particularly at the level of language, contributes to a deconstruction of the war experience and a re-examination of the psychological horror of the Other. To this end, the paper employs theoretical concepts pertaining to the sphere of the “war gothic”, while also placing emphasis on modernist theories of style, specifically as they relate to Bowen’s “willfully tortuous syntax” (Teekell 61) which has an almost physical, claustrophobic effect on the reader.
Glimpses of Meaning: Aboriginal Literature and Western Audiences
Authors: Fitzgerald Liana
Published: January 2022

One of the most subtle and complex oral literatures, Australian Aboriginal literature, still keeps meaning covert to Western readers, despite its ever-growing popularity and prolificity. As an introduction to an ongoing research into orality in Australian Aboriginal Literature, this paper aims to focus on a number of reasons which, while make Aboriginal stories more palatable for Western culture, distil original meaning of concepts, beliefs and traditions. In other words, what are some of the elements which hinder source – reader communication when it comes to Australian Aboriginal literature? The focus of this paper is meaning transformation through layers of interpretation, starting from an original performance of a story, with its syncretism of art forms. It is well worth it to explore such development of meaning, from performance to oral translation into English, with its later written form, to ultimately broken-down fragments covert within poems or novels. It is of no wonder Western readership comes up against difficulty in grasping meaning from Australian Aboriginal literature, as our own understanding of universal concepts, such as time, space, spirituality is so fundamentally different. There are, however, valuable lessons to be learnt and any effort will yield reward.
Notes on the Materiality and Spirituality of Books and their Being in the World
Authors: Bădulescu Dana Janeta , Gavriluță Cristina
Published: January 2022

As an object, the book has a material condition. On the surface, it is a collection of printed leaves held between two covers. The graphics, colours and design are aspects partaking of its aesthetic dimension. However, beyond this materiality, with all its aesthetic qualities, the book has an intrinsic capacity of undergoing changes in its status. Gabriel Liiceanu, a Romanian philosopher, argues that the book is an imploring object. It begs to be opened, read, and thus brought to life. Therefore, the book is an object with a special fate, which necessarily depends on the whims and moods of the Reader who, by merely opening and reading it, changes its ontological status, breathes life onto it and saves it from an improper state of being, as Liiceanu argues. The book’s status as an object is exceptional in this situation. As an object, the book is a treasure trove. The big drama of any book is that of being sentenced to a life in prison between its covers, while its big fortune is to become a spiritual and cultural presence in the mind and soul of the Reader.
The Legitimacy of Intersections. Exploring Identity and Personal Truths in Letty Cottin-Pogrebin’s "Deborah, Golda, and Me. Being Female and Jewish in America"
Authors: Iosif Ștefana
Published: January 2022

Letty Cottin-Pogrebin’s autobiography, Deborah, Golda, and Me. Being Female and Jewish in America, immerses the reader into the intersectional world of feminist writing. Pogrebin allows for different genres to cohabitate and create a deeply personal account. At times almost journalistic, at others taking the guise of persuasive activist essays, the work itself mirrors in its shape the theme at its very center: the exploration of identity, done outside of prescribed lines, in the three-dimensionality conferred by multi-faceted sides of the self. As such, Pogrebin brings under one roof former opposites, allowing them to meld together: feminism and religious observance; the personal and the political; motherhood and fatherhood. Identity is not an either/or endeavor, and Pogrebin makes the case for embracing hyphenation and the liberating force of self-definition.
Medical Gothic Masculinities in Bram Stoker’s "Dracula"
Authors: Baciu Ioana
Published: January 2022

The present paper makes use of Michel Foucault’s theory from Discipline and Punish according to which one of the means by which women’s bodies are controlled is through their hystericization by the power-knowledge-wielding medical profession. Taking Stoker’s famous novel as a case in point, I mean to show that the men of the novel, embodiments of Reason and Empire, gathered around the guiding medical intelligence of professor Van Helsing, act upon the bodies of the vampirized women (Lucy and Mina) in a way that is the metaphorical expression of the symbolic violence perpretated against women socially. Thus, the novel is gothic in more ways than one: its much-discussed portrayal of sexually-liberated femininity through vampirization finds its counterpart in the less-approached medical masculinity, a reinforcer of masculine domination.

Morpholine is an emulsifier that is normally used as a protective wax coating on the surfaces of fruit and vegetable. In order to keep fruits fresh, extend their shelf-life, against insect and fungal contamination for a long time, morpholine has been widely applied despite of the reported carcinogenic potential in previous studies and export prohibition in many countries. A highly sensitive method has been developed for the determination of this food additive in fruits using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrophotometry. By using 1 % acetic acid in methanol for extraction and analyzing with binary ammonium formate 20 mM and acetonitrile, the method has been applied successfully to determine morpholine residues in apple samples collected at local markets in Hanoi, Vietnam. The good coefficient correlation was achieved in the linear range of 5 - 300 µg/L (R2 = 0.9998). The low limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 2 µg/kg and 5 µg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of morpholine were 83 – 108 % over three spike levels 20 - 60 μg/L for apple, peel and pulp matrices. The repeatability (RSDr %) was 1.1 % for apple matrix, 2.36 % for peel and 3.67 % for pulp. The reproducibility values (RSDR %) were 1.49, 3.50 and 4.08 % for apple, peel and pulp, respectively. This method could be further performed in different type of fruit and vegetable comiditities to determine the morpholine content.
THE IMPACT OF PASTORAL MINISTRY BASED ON I SAMUEL 28:1-25 IN THE SPIRITUAL QUALITY OF EVANGELICAL KALIMANTAN CHURCH WHO FOLLOW THE TANTULAK AMBUN RUTAS MATEI IN KATINGAN CENTRAL KALIMANTAN

Published: January 2022

The Ngaju Dayak people still respect and appreciate their families despite their different religions. This attitude is based on the huma betang philosophy of the Ngaju Dayak tribe. That they are one big family, one descendant, one ancestor. Therefore it is difficult for the congregation to leave the traditional rituals for this reason, pastoral care is needed from the pastor of the Evangelical Kalimantan Church by building relationships to make it easier to provide a biblical understanding. It is indicated that pastoral care for the members of the congregation has not been maximally carried out by the pastor, resulting in the foundation of the congregation's faith being shallow in interpreting life in obedience to God's word. It can be seen from the indications that there are still members of the congregation violating the teachings of the Christian faith by practicing rituals related to the traditions and beliefs of their ancestors. Therefore, based on the description of the background of the problem, it can be formulated as follows: 1)How big is the significant level of influence in building relationships with others based on I Samuel 28:1-25 on the spiritual quality of the members of the Evangelical Kalimantan Church who attended the TantulakAmbunRutasMatei ceremony in Katingan district, Central Kalimantan? 2)How big is the significant level of influence in building a relationship with Godbased on I Samuel 28:1-25 on the spiritual quality of the members of the Evangelical Kalimantan Church who attended the TantulakAmbunRutasMatei ceremony in Katingan district, Central Kalimantan? 3) How muchbig significant level What is the effect of pastoral care based on I Samuel 28:1-25 on the spiritual quality of the members of the Evangelical Kalimantan Church who attend the TantulakAmbunRutasMatei ceremony in Katingan district, Central Kalimantan?
Short – term outcomes of flow diverter stent (Pipeline) for treatment intracranial aneurysms
Authors: Van Hoang
Published: January 2022

Background: With the approval of detachable coils in 1995, endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms has become an alternative to surgical clip ligation. Despite the introduction of “modified” coils and advanced techniques such as stent-assisted and balloon-assisted coiling, coil embolization has major limitations because of inability to completely and permanently occlude all aneurysms. As stents were being developed for intracranial use, it was hypothesized that stents could be utilized to divert flow “away” from the aneurysm “back” into the parent vessel, and the concept of “endovascular flow diversion” was proposed. This study aims to report our experience with cerebral aneurysms, which may improve in the treatment with the ﬂow-diverter stent and follow up (1).

Methods: This study was conducted in consecutive series of 23 patients. 23 procedures were performed for treating these patients in Ha Noi heart hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. 23 flow diverter stents (Pipeline) were used. Aneurysms morphology, stent patency and cerebral parenchyma before and after intervention were analyzed on images of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR). The follow-up data after 3–6 months and 12 months were recorded.

Results: In 23 patients (8 men, 15 women), aneurysms of internal carotid artery were mostly common (95.7%), especially in cavernous segments. 13 cases (74%) had saccular aneurysms, and 2 cases (9%) had multiple aneurysms, and only 3 cases (13%) had fusiform aneurysms. Endovascular treatment was successfully performed at rate of 100%.. Mortality and morbidity rates were 0% and 0%, respectively. MRI and MSCT follow-up at 3 months showed complete or incomplete occlusions of aneurysms was 26.1% or 34.8%, respectively. 

Conclusions: Deployment of flow diverter stent is safe and effective with high rate of successful and low procedural complications

Objective: To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's health. Methodology: Study transverse, exploratory and descriptive of character quantitative / qualitative carried through to one questionnaire developed by Google Forms and available on social media with questions about the pandemic impact on the health of children and adolescents. Results and discussion: Of the 200 caregivers who participated, 94.5% were female and 92% mothers, most were married (87.5%) and older than 40 years (61.5%). As for children and adolescents, most were between 8 and 12 years old (38.5%), 50% were female, 78% did not have comorbidities that favored the severity of COVID-19. In relation to the context of the pandemic, 75.5 % reported having one dialogue honest with the child / adolescent about the lived situation and the main feelings were reported: worry, fear, sadness, anxiety, irritability and missed the routine. In relation to behavioral disorders of children and adolescents since the beginning of the pandemic, 73% of the charge stated observe differences in the main was the increase in time in the home (77%). Additionally, other behavioral changes identified in the QUESTIONNAIRE were very relevant as difficulty sleeping (43%) decline in school performance (42 .5 %) and agitation / irritation (42%). With regard to the practice of physical activity, 63% of children practiced before the pandemic, but only 27.7 % continues, besides that sun bath also was taken, because only 43.2% are taking regularly due to COVID 19 SOPs.. conclusion:  we can see that the pandemic has affected directly the behavior of children and adolescents, being necessary attention geared to families with respect to physical and mental health, as well as the expansion of the debate on the theme.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of dexamethasone 8mg versus ondansetron 4mg in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Methodology: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Holy Family Hospital from 29th July 2018 to 28th January 2019.Â  Anesthesia was induced with propofol (2mg/kg IV) and Atracurium (0.5 mg/kg IV) was given to facilitate tracheal intubation. Nalbuphine (0.2mg/kg) was used as analgesic.Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in Group A received 4mg ondansetron at end of surgery and Group B received 8mg dexamethasone at induction.
Results: A total of 90 patients were included according to the inclusion criteria of the study. The mean age (years) in the study was 37.11+10.60 years. Frequency and percentage of nausea (up to 24 hours) among both the groups was 28 (62.2) and 28 (62.2) respectively (p-value = 1.0) while the frequency and percentage of vomiting (within 24 hours after extubation) was 28 (62.2) and 27 (60.0) respectively (p-value = 0.829)
Conclusion: The study concluded that there was no significant difference dexamethasone and ondansetron in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Objective: To assess pathological, biochemical and clinical parameters in HCC patients with low, normal and high AFP levels.
Methodology: This comparative analytical study was conducted in Liver and Gastric Clinic, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi from June 2019-June 2020.Sample size was calculated as 225 by WHO sample size calculator .Â  Non randomized convenient sampling was used. Patients were divided into three groups according to AFP values; <200 ng/ml, 200-400ng/ml and >400 ng/ml. Patients demographic details, medical history, clinical symptoms and signs, biochemical parameters and pathological findings on ultrasonography and CECT were assessed. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 21. Descriptive statistics were calculated for categoricalÂ Â  variable. Â p Value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Out of 256 patients, 161 (62.9%) were males and 95 (37.1%) were females.The mean age of patients was 60.5 years Â±Â  10.5. 94.4% of patients with HCC had Hepatitis C. Anorexia, jaundice and abdominal distension, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were more frequent in patients having high AFP level. Serum bilirubin, tumor size, number of lesions, BCLC staging and other pathological parameters associated with HCC worsens as AFP levels increase.
Conclusion: Alpha-fetoprotein levelsÂ  areÂ  significantly associated with clinical and pathological parameters of hepatocellular carcinoma thus can be used as a better diagnostic and prognostic tool.
Hurricanes and the Urban Forest: II. Effects on Tropical and Subtropical Tree Species
Authors: Duryea Mary , Kampf Eliana , Littell Ramon , Rodríguez-Pedraza Carlos
Published: January 2022

In 1998 when Hurricane Georges (177 km/h) crossed over the entire island of Puerto Rico, and in 2004 when Hurricanes Jeanne (193 km/h) and Charley (233 km/h) struck south Florida, U.S., we measured the impacts of these hurricanes on the urban forest composed of tropical and subtropical species. In addition, we also used previous published data for Hurricane Andrew for some analyses. The percent urban forest loss ranged from 13% for Georges to 16% for Jeanne to 18% for Charley. In Hurricanes Jeanne and Charley, palms survived significantly better than all other trees. Some of the best surviving species in Florida’s hurricanes were gumbo limbo (Bursera simarouba), sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera), strangler fig (Ficus aurea), live oak (Quercus virginiana), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), and baldcypress (Taxodium distichum). Of the species measured in Puerto Rico, the species with the highest survival and least branch damage were Santa Maria (Calophyllum calaba), Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea), schefflera (Schefflera actinophylla), and West Indian mahogany (Swietenia mahogani). Losing leaves during these hurricanes had no relationship with how well trees survived. In Hurricanes Jeanne, Charley, and Georges, 3%, 4%, and 11%, respectively, of the trees that fell damaged property. Native tree species survived better than exotic species in Hurricanes Jeanne and Charley but not in Hurricane Georges. Trees growing in groups had greater survival and less branch loss in Hurricane Jeanne than those growing individually. Wood density was not related to survival or branch loss for tree species in Hurricanes Jeanne, Charley, Georges, or Andrew. Two other measurements of wood strength, modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture, were related to survival and branch loss in Jeanne but not Charley. Tree species with dense crowns had greater survival and less branch loss than moderate- or open-crowned species. Tree species with decurrent growth form survived better than excurrent trees in Hurricane Jeanne with no difference in Charley. Trees with the most rooting space (>7 m2) had the lowest branch loss and the greatest survival in Hurricane Georges. A reanalysis of seven dicot species and their survival in Hurricane Andrew showed that survival for pruned trees was 73% compared with 47% for unpruned trees. A survey of 85 arborists, scientists, and urban foresters ranked species for their wind resistance. Using our results from hurricanes and incorporating results from the survey and the scientific literature, we have developed lists of relative wind resistance for tropical and subtropical tree species. These lists are presented with the caveat that no tree is completely windproof and that other factors such as soil conditions, wind intensity, cultural practices, and tree health and age also contribute to wind firmness.
Fertilization of Red Maple ( Acer rubrum) and Littleleaf Linden ( Tilia cordata) Trees at Recommended Rates Does Not Aid Tree Establishment
Authors: Day Susan , Harris J. Roger
Published: January 2022

Landscape trees typically grow slowly for several years after transplanting. We investigated whether fertilization could speed tree growth during this establishment period, which fertilization regimes were most effective, and whether fertilization interacted with irrigation. Fifty-four each of landscape-sized, balled-and-burlapped red maple (Acer rubrum) and littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata) were planted into a relatively infertile silt loam soil and were fertilized (1.5 kg N/100 m 2[3 lb N/1000 ft 2]) each spring (either including or not including at planting), each fall, or not fertilized. Each of these fertilizer regimes was either irrigated or not irrigated during 3 years. An additional treatment of an unirrigated, split (spring/fall) fertilizer application was included. There was no evidence that fertilization affected irrigated trees differently than unirrigated trees. Overall, fertilization did not speed establishment and did not affect trunk growth, shoot extension, or leaf nitrogen content. There was no evidence that fall fertilization might be more effective than spring fertilization. There was no indication that fertilized trees experienced increased drought stress. Nitrogen rates and factors affecting fertilizer uptake are discussed.
