Authors: kaur avneet , kaur amarpreet , sharma rajeev , Brar Bhojdev
Published: August 2022

Among various pulmonary function tests used to assess the functioning of
lungs, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurement is simple,
reproducible and reliable way of judging the degree of airway
obstruction in various obstructive pulmonary diseases like asthma. This
study was conducted in various schools of rural and urban areas of
Faridkot district of Punjab, India on one thousand normal healthy school
going children of age group of 9 to 15 years. Characteristics of study
population like socioeconomic status, exposure to tobacco smoke,
participation in outdoor sports, type of cooking fuel used at home etc.
was noted in proformas. Readings were taken in three different seasons
over a period of one-year to observe seasonal variations. The mean age
of boys (498) and girls (502) from rural (500) and urban (500) areas was
11.948±1.220 years. Boys had higher mean PEFR value than girls
(p<0.05). Mean PEFR of boys was more than girls at a given age
group, at given height interval and weight (p <0.05). PEFR
increased in both boys and girls with increase in age, height and weight
(p<0.05). There was no significant difference in PEFR values
of children living in rural and urban areas (p= 0.681) Children
belonging to different socioeconomic statuses had significant difference
in PEFR values (p value=0.008). PEFR was significantly higher in
children participating in outdoor sports than those who didn’t
participate in any sports(p value=0.005). No significant variation of
PEFR was seen with season, exposure to tobacco smoke and cooking fuel
used at home.

Published: August 2022

Combination therapy with the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector lumacaftor and the CFTR
potentiator ivacaftor has demonstrated significant impact on clinical
parameters in Phe508del homozygous people with CF. Whether these changes
under treatment are correlated to serum levels of both drugs had yet to
be investigated. We therefore analyzed data from our previous study
(OrkambiFacts, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02807415). In summary,
we did not find statistically significant correlations between serum
drug levels and changes in clinical parameters and biomarkers of CFTR
function such as FEV1, BMI, sweat chloride, nasal potential difference
(NPD) and intestinal current measurement (ICM). Absolute blood levels of
lumacaftor or ivacaftor do not seem to be informative biomarkers to
predict clinical improvement or the attenuation of the basic defect.
Transition from ICU to Portable home ventilator (PHV) in children with severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
Authors: Agarwal Amit , McKinney Robin
Published: August 2022

As the population of ventilator-dependent children (VDC) with
tracheostomies due to underlying severe BPD grows, there is an
increasing need to shift the care of these children from hospital to
home. Transitioning the ventilator-dependent child from the hospital to
home is a complex process that requires coordination between the medical
team and the family. One crucial step in the process is transitioning
from an Intensive care unit (ICU) ventilator to a portable home
ventilator (PHV). The Clinical team needs to understand the nuances in
transitioning to PHV, including assessing readiness to transition and
choosing the optimum settings on an available home ventilator. In recent
years, various ventilator modes have been available in PHV that can help
achieve synchronous breathing to allow for adequate gas exchange for the
infant. This review details some approaches to asses readiness to
transition and the process of Transition along with commonly used modes
of support available in PHV, as well as the primary and secondary
settings in which we should be mindful in supporting a child with
chronic respiratory failure in the home setting.

Reactive Lymphadenopathy: Triggering False Positives on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Gentile Julie P
Published: August 2022

There are numerous etiologies of reactive lymphadenopathy on radiological imaging. Lymph node evaluation is critical for screening high risk patients for new pathology, and for the planning of systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Although ultrasonography (US) is useful for screening and staging illness, it is not completely reliable. In addition to being subjective, there is also poor accessibility of deeply located lymph nodes. Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers the advantages of provision of a larger field of view, increased capability of comparison of right and left axillary areas, and increased sensitivity and specificity. It is reported that pandemic H1N1v and seasonal influenza vaccinations cause alteration in fluorodeoxyglucose avidity in positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans. There were no identified scientific publications documenting the possibility of false positives on MRI due to the Shingrix vaccine, nor any universal recommendations for patients to avoid vaccinations for a specified period of time prior to imaging. The following is a case report of false positive reactive lymphadenopathy found in a healthy patient during breast MRI screening due to high risk status.

Authors: González Suazo Loreto
Published: August 2022

In October 2019 Chile began to experience a process of deep social, political and economic crisis that was triggered by the rise in the price of public transport. One of the most frequently quoted phrases during the beginning of the crisis was "it's not 30 pesos, it's 30 years", indicating that the crisis is not only explained by the increase in transport, but by the overwhelming sum of inequalities that the Chilean people have been experiencing for more than 30 years, this is expressed by the extreme indebtedness of households, high defaults and low salaries, the detestable distribution of wealth. In this way, this article will be a descriptive review which aims to review and analyze the main facts that Chile has experienced since the social explosion of October 2019, and how the COVID-19 has shown the inequalities of a political-economic system that needs to be transformed.

Use of the Odds Ratio in Clinical Research
Authors: McHugh Mary L
Published: August 2022

The Odds Ratio is one of several statistics used to assist clinicians determine whether to use a particular treatment in clinical practice. The Odds Ratio fits into the category of effect-size statistics because the larger size of the Odds Ratio statistic, the stronger the relationship between the treatment and the outcome. However, its interpretation is not as clear and direct as that of a correlation. The Odds Ratio is typically used when the outcome of interest is relatively rare. Most Odds Ratio calculations are set up as two by two tables. Therefore, the preferred significance statistic is the Maximum Likelihood Ratio Chi-Square. However, in some circumstances. The Fisher’s Exact Probability statistic or Pearson’s Chi-Square can also be used. As a simple statistic to calculate, it can be hand calculated in a clinic if necessary to determine the odds of a particular event for a patient at risk for that event. Interpretation of the statistic, and how the Odds Ratio table should be set up require care as misinterpretation can easily occur.

Helsinkiläis- ja tamperelaispuhujien äänenkorkeuden muutokset 1970-luvulta 2010-luvulle
Authors: Mustanoja Liisa , O'Dell Michael , Lappalainen Hanna
Published: August 2022

Suomalaisen sosiolingvistisen reaaliaikatutkimuksen kohteina ovat olleet fonologiset ja morfologiset piirteet. Tutkimuksemme laajentaa näkökulmaa prosodisiin piirteisiin tarkastelemalla puhujien äänenkorkeudessa (F0) tapahtuneita muutoksia. Aineistona on helsinkiläis- ja tamperelaispuhujien haastattelutallenteet 1970-, 1990- ja 2010-luvuilta. Kolmeen kertaan haastateltuja puhujia on yhteensä 21 (10 naista, 11 miestä). Heistä 16 on syntynyt 1950-luvulla ja viisi 1920–1930-luvuilla. Täydentävänä aineistona on käytetty 14:n kahteen kertaan tallennetun naispuhujan haastatteluja.

Kansainvälisissä tutkimuksissa on pitkään raportoitu naisten puhekorkeuden laskusta. Toisaalta viimeaikaiset suomalaistutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että tällaista äänenkorkeuden laskutrendiä ei ole enää viime vuosikymmeniltä havaittavissa. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaisena äänenkorkeuden muutoskehitys näyttäytyy, kun tarkasteluun otetaan samojen puhujayksilöiden eri vuosikymmenten haastattelutallenteet.

Tutkimuksessa selvisi, ettei miespuhujilta ole löydettävissä yhtenäistä ikään tai tarkasteluaikakauteen kytkeytyvää muutostendenssiä. Sen sijaan naispuhujilla äänenkorkeus laskee ikävuosien 20 ja 40 välillä riippumatta siitä, mille tarkasteluvuosikymmenille tämä ikävaihe sijoittuu. Havainnon taustalla näyttää ensisijaisesti olevan yksilön äänialan laajentuminen alarekisterin suuntaan. Syyt tähän ovat pikemminkin sosiaalisia kuin biologisia.

Sosiaaliluokka on ollut yksi keskeisistä muuttujista labovilaisessa sosiolingvistiikassa, jamonet variaatiotutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, miten kielellinen variaatio nivoutuu sosiaalisiinkerrostumiin. Kielenpuhujien havaintoja luokkaa heijastavista kielen piirteistä ja käytänteistäei sen sijaan ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämä artikkeli pyrkii paikkaamaan tätä tutkimusaukkoasoveltamalla kansanlingvististä lähestymistapaa tutkimuksessa suomenruotsalaistenkäsityksistä kielen ja luokan yhtymäkohdista. Aineistona on käytetty 182 henkilön vastauksiakyselylomakkeeseen. Vastaajat edustavat erilaista sosiaalista taustaa, eri ikäryhmiä ja erimaantieteellisiä paikkoja Suomen ruotsinkielisillä alueilla.

Tulokset osoittavat, että vastaajien käsitykset kielen ja luokan liittymäkohdista ovat vaihteleviaja hieman ristiriitaisiakin. Suurin osa vastaajista on sitä mieltä, että suomenruotsissa esiintyyluokkaan kytkeytynyttä vaihtelua, mutta heidän käsityksensä siitä, mitkä kielenpiirteetheijastelevat tällaista vaihtelua eroavat toisistaan. Jatkotutkimuksissa olisikin suositeltavaakäyttää toisenlaisia aineistonkeruumenetelmiä, jotta olisi mahdollista saada monipuolisempaatietoa kielen ja luokan indeksikaalisista kytköksistä.

In the article the author analyzes the attitude of M.M. Shcherbatov, N.M. Karamzin, K.N. Leontiev, Slavophiles and Eurasians to the reformatory activities of Peter I. Unanimous in their negative attitude to the fact that he unfavorably changed the course of Russian life, focusing on European models alien to Russia, the conservative thinkers were more positive about the state-building reforms of the founder of the Russian Empire.
The Image of Peter the Great in the Context of Progress Metaphysics – Russian Conservative Social and Political Journalism Opinion
Authors: Shcherbakova Galina I.
Published: August 2022

The article examines the views of the 19th-century Russian publicists, who professed a conservative ideology, on the image of Peter the Great in the context of the metaphysics of reforms. The role of conservatives in the public space of the 19th century remains poorly explored, as well as the following issues: how, in what form and to what extent the conservatives allowed progress; whether the conservative worldview meant refusal to move forward; what the movement forward implied for the conservatives. The article also explores the question of the historical conditionality of Peter's desire to integrate Russia into Europe, what measures and what changes the people were ready to support, and which they did not accept. The author consistently analyzes the complication of the position of conservative publicists with the development of the political processes in Russia after the liberation of the peasants. The author compares the similarities and differences of the views of such publicists as Karamzin, Uvarov, Meshchersky, Katkov and Dostoevsky, establishes the continuity of positions and explains the existing contradictions. The specific nature of the journalistic image, reflecting reality in a specific way, as well as the ideology of the writers, are taken into account. In addition, individual creative features and abilities of the publicists are taken into account. In conclusion, the author outlines the prospects of further studies, involving the speeches of the writers and religious philosophers in the pre-revolutionary era, when the impossibility of peaceful resolution of political, economic and cultural contradictions in the country became obvious.
Russian Bureaucracy as Creation of Petrine Modernization as Viewed by Rusian Conservative Publicists of the Post-reform Epoch
Authors: Kruglikova Olga S.
Published: August 2022

Based on the analysis of the journalistic heritage of Russian conservative publicists of the post-reform era (I.S. Aksakov, F.M. Dostoevsky, V.P. Meshchersky, M.N. Katkov, V.V. Rozanov), the article examines the phenomenon of Russian bureaucracy as the result of the Petrine modernization and creation of the regular state. The study shows that the concept of bureaucracy is organically integrated into the dialogue about Peter's modernization, and for most publicists the progressive nature of bureaucracy as modernity state management system remains inconspicuous, mainly their attention is focused on the dysfunction of the administrative machine. In a number of cases, anti-bureaucratic rhetoric is used as the tool for criticizing Western-style modernization in general and its inspirer, Peter the Great. The bureaucracy is subjected to the sharpest criticism by conservative publicists for its formalism, the emphasis shift from the result of activity to its process, autonomization from real political tasks and the needs of the state.
The Reign of Peter I as Viewed by the Representatives of Russian State Nationalism (M.N. Katkov, A.S. Suvorin, M.O. Menshikov
Authors: Sankova Svetlana M. , Krizhanovsky Nikolay I.
Published: August 2022

In the article the authors examine the views of conservative publicists of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries: M.N. Katkov, A.S. Suvorin, M.O. Menshikov. These publicists are attributed by the authors to the exponents of the ideas of state nationalism. The authors trace the duality of the basic attitudes of state nationalism, manifested in changes in the ratio of priorities of state and national construction. The authors come to certain conclusions on the basis of an analysis of the views of those thinkers on the results of the activities of Peter I. The article shows that Katkov’s views were unconditionally dominated by the interests of the state as such and the interests of the people were inferior to the state needs. That determined his generally positive attitude towards the activities of Peter the Great. In contrast, Suvorin and Menshikov already brought to the fore the needs and necessities of the Russian people as the main builder of the state. They were concerned about the erosion of national identity, and the inappropriate expenditure of human resources, which, in their opinion, was a hidden threat to the viability of the state itself. At the same time, all representatives of state nationalism unconditionally recognized the greatness of the personality of Peter I himself and the global character of the transformations he accomplished.
Peter I: the “Blessed Tsar” or the “First Bolshevik”?
Authors: Makarkin Alexey V.
Published: August 2022

There was not a single Orthodox saint among the victims in the reign of Peter I, which distinguishes Peter from both Ivan the Terrible and Catherine II. St. Mitrofan of Voronezh and St. Dimitri of Rostov, who lived in Peter’s time, had contradictory opinions about his various actions, but were not in opposition to the tsar (and St. Mitrofan actively supported some of his initiatives). The figures of the Russian Orthodox emigration, who expressed their opinions freely without the pressure of censorship, mainly distinguished both positive and negative sides in Peter’s activities, which was connected with the search for the balance between state interests and religious identity. The idealization of Peter was unacceptable to them, but for the most part they tried to avoid his demonization.
Peter’s Reforms as National: the Publicistic Aspect of S.V. Solovyov’s “Public Readings on Peter the Great”
Authors: Teslya Andrey A.
Published: August 2022

Sergey M. Solovyov (1820–1879) – is one of the most well-known and authoritative Russian historians, the author of the monumental work “History of Russia” in 29 volumes, and the creator of the “common scheme of Russian history” (M. Grushevsky). At the same time, his political views and publicistic activity are still not in the focus of the researchers’ attention. The present article attempts to draw special attention to one of the most well-known and repeatedly reprinted work of the historian – his “Public Readings on Peter the Great”. Twelve public lectures were delivered by Solovyov in February – March of 1972 in Moscow Noble Assembly hall in the context of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the first all-Russia emperor. Leaving aside the well-studied historiographic value of that work, the author of the article analyzes its text (together with the draft and Solovyov’s commencement address at the grand meeting in Moscow University May 30, 1872) fro the point of view of the currently important political problems in the 1860-ies and the beginning of the 1870-ies years, and above all, the aspects of nationalism. Solovyov appears to be at once an opponent of both Slavophils and Katkov’s nationalism, interpreting “narodnost’” (national character) as historical, dynamic category, while conceiving Russian nation as part of European nations. And at the same tine Solovyov emphasizes the connection of contemporaneity with the formation of personal independence, initiative, as well as compatibility and ability for pubic unity.

He shows that on the basis of the reconstruction of authentic Russian political tradition of the “popular monarchy” and historical analysis, I.L. Solonevich convincingly destroyed the “legend of Peter I”. The adequate understanding of the well-known historical facts also allows us to reveal the “mechanism” of the destruction of Russian civilization through the aggressive introduction of Western innovations. It’s very important to understand this universal destructive strategy in order to develop “immunity” to it in the future. It’s essential to gain a better insight of the traditional “models” of deceiving and destroying Russia, this understanding should become part of Russian historical memory and should be embedded in the modern Russian historical consciousness, because the real revival of the Russian people and the viability of Russia as a state depend on it.
Peter I and “Genghis Khan’s Legacy”
Authors: Darenskiy Vitaliy Yu.
Published: August 2022

The article examines the historical phenomenon of Peter I in the context of the specifics of the Eurasian cultural and political tradition, which N. Trubetskoy metaphorically named “the legacy of Genghis Khan”. The specifics of this tradition lie in its fundamental difference from the model of European feudalism. Here, the selection of the ruling class was carried out according to moral qualities, and people’s life was based on self-government (“people’s monarchy”). The scrapping of this tradition, carried out by Peter I, consisted in replacing the moral criterion of selection with the pragmatic one, which led to the degeneration of the ruling class; and replacing the people’s monarchy with Western absolutism, which resulted in the conflict between the state and the people.

Reforms of Peter I and the Search for Social Harmony Model: Correlation Problem
Authors: Bakurkov Anatoly A.
Published: August 2022

The article examines the role of Peter I reforms for developing the Russian identity in general, and in particular for the development of communitarianism as a special feature of Russian social thought. The study shows that the practical activity of Peter I and its theoretical analysis in the works by F. Prokopovich, V.N. Tatishchev and I.T. Pososhkov contributed to the development of sustainable, archetypal ideas within the Russian society regarding the connection between social harmony and social justice and the idea of the so-called “common good” and the cult of public service. Those ideas would be afterwards persistently reproduced in Russian history, obtaining philosophical and ideological framing.
Peter’s Life-Work
Authors: Chernyakhovsky Sergey F.
Published: August 2022

Peter I started in Russia in fact a specific type of caesaristic democracy based on the direct connection of the nation-wide and military leader who had mass support of lower social classes. And he established the so-called “spirit of Peter” – the tradition of projected breaking through that denies the external determinacy of transcendent and religious principles, and is ready to accept the challenge of “accomplishing the impossible”. It became the institution of tradition, a component part of culture and spiritual heritage. A military officer in the long run was always more respected in society than a clergyman or even a party functionary. The army became a kind of a patrimonial relic, a sort of family talisman. The favorite toy of the country and the people. The favorite toy of the American people is a carefully kept Winchester. Even if it is never put to use. Our people prefer the country army as the favorite toy, – even if it is rarely put to use. The army was largely viewed not only as defender from enemy without, but also as defender from the country government arbitrariness. A well-known saying “Those who don’t want to provide for the country army, will have to provide for the enemy one”,  – has its analogue. Those who don’t want to accept the personal power limitations imposed by the constitutionally elected parliament, will have to accept the limitations enforced by the soldiers of the Guards regiments.
The Service Estate In the Reign of Peter the Great: History of Creation and Mechanisms of Constructing Community
Authors: Panchenko Alexey B.
Published: August 2022

Peter I reforms aimed at the construction of a regular state required creating a special service estate. He initially needed to destroy the old nobility for this purpose. The first step in this direction was the creation of the Guard, a small corporation that was loyal to the tsar personally. Joining the Guard required neophytes to perform certain initiation rituals aimed at the pointed break with tradition. After that, a larger community, whose main task was military service, began to be formed on the basis of the Guard. Education was a prerequisite for joining this society, and social mobility within it was based solely on individual merit. The final stage was the extension of the service principle to civilian service. As the result, the nobility as legally implemented as new service estate. At the same time, there remained preserved mechanisms of both replenishment of this society from outside and exclusion from it of the people who were not ready to serve. However, the sudden death of Peter I did not allow his ideas to be entrenched, due to which the nobility subsequently ceased to perform its main function – serve the empire.
And Won’t Disturb Peter’s Eternal Rest with Vain Malice...
Authors: Ljubzhin Alexey I.
Published: August 2022

Peter I is often blamed for his educational policy that didn’t much favour about public education and thus formed deep cultural gap between classes in Russian Empire. That statement is technically correct, but has an abstract character and doesn’t take into account neither the conditions in which Peter was acting, nor his available resources. In the article the author lists the educational endeavors of Petrine epoch (education abroad, military schools for nobility, arithmetic (elementary) schools, Theological Regulations, Imperial Academy of Sciences). Schools for nobility were of utilitarian character, but theological seminaries stuck to classic educational models. On the basis of the analysis of those models in comparison with available resources and society preparedness for enlightenment, it’s possible to conclude that Peter’s educational policy was optimal.
Memory of the Holy Princes Mikhail of Chernigov and Alexander Nevsky in the Era of the Russian Kingdom Making Up and Russian Empire Formation
Authors: Rudakov Vladimir N.
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the historical memory of the two contemporaries of Batu invasion – the Grand Princes Mikhail Vsevolodovich of Chernigov and Alexander Yaroslavich (Nevsky) – in the era of the formation of the Russian Kingdom and of the Russian Empire. During the Mongol-Tatar invasion, neither prince proved himself as defender of the Russian land: Mikhail fled his lands and picked his way to the West, while Alexander, most likely, preferred to wait out in Novgorod without getting involved with the clash with the Tatars. Nevertheless, in the subsequent period, their services to the Orthodox Church overshadowed the history of their behavior during the invasion. In the reign of Ivan IV, who initiated the transfer of the relics of Mikhail Vsevolodovich from Chernigov to Moscow, the aura of the defender not only of the faith, but also of the Fatherland formed around the prince, and his Christian feat even became a model for writing the new version of the “Life of Alexander Nevsky”. In the period of victories over the “pagan kingdoms” (Kazan and Astrakhan khanates), as well as in the conditions of incessant clashes with the Crimeans, the veneration of St. Michael became the most important factor in the confrontation with the “infidels”. However, by the time of the formation of the Russian Empire, the relevance of that topic, as well as the interest of those in power in the figure of Mikhail Vsevolodovich declined. In the reign of Peter I the leading role among Russian princes passed on to Alexander Yaroslavich: the first Russian emperor was perceived by his contemporaries as the successor of the hero of the Battle of the Neva, as a kind of alter ego of the holy prince.

This study investigates the effect of teaching approaches on students’ English language learning at King Abdulaziz University (KAU). Moreover, it is an endeavor to know the difference between students’ interaction with the teaching approaches used by Non-Native English Speaking (NNES) lecturers and those used by Native English Speaking (NES) lecturers. A documentary review, observations, and semi-structured interviews with lecturers and students served as the data sources of this study, as per the qualitative case study approach. The interactions with students and teaching approaches of the lecturers varied in accordance with their native tongue— NNES lecturers and NES lecturers. The findings have revealed that the level of students’ interaction was less during the lectures delivered by NNES lecturers due to the adoption of a teacher-centered approach. Significantly, the level of students’ interaction was high during the lectures delivered NES lecturers. This is due to the fact that NES lecturers adopted a learner-centered approach
