PAGANISM OF LITHUANIANS AND PRUSSIANS: RITUAL LAUGHTER
Authors: Balsys Rimantas
Published: June 2021

Ritual laughter is considered an integral part of the rituals used to make sacrifice to the ancient gods. This article analyzes instances of ritual humor in written sources from the 16th to 17th century and echoes of the joke in calendars, family traditions and folklore in the 19th and 20th centuries. The aim is to investigate how jokes and fun were understood in the religion and mythology of the ancient Balts; what influenced the expression of this sort of joke and how; and what forms and manners for eliciting jokes and fun are recorded in written sources, customs, traditions and folklore. Information in the written sources from the 16th and 17th centuries (even if it is fragmentary) shows Lithuanians and Prussians knew of ritual laughter which is a component part of rituals for making sacrifices to the ancient gods. The aim of ritual laughter was to succeed in making the gods happy (especially gods protecting agriculture and its different branches). From the examples presented, although there might not be many of them, we can nonetheless determine that the ritual laughter of the Lithuanians and the Prussians was divided into two categories: a) the happy god (with the request and wish the god would be happy) and b) the ritual laughter and fun of participants in rituals. After Christianity came to dominate in the late 17th century, ritual humor became an important part of calendrical, family and other customs, recorded in folklore and echoed in everyday speech and phraseology.
Reuse of components between virtual, b-learning and face-to- face courses. A case study in Management Information SystemsReuse of components between virtual, b-learning and face-to- face courses. A case study in Management Information Systems
Authors: Castilla  Alcalá Guillermo , Durán Alfonso , Ortiz Jose Ignacio
Published: June 2021

The integration between virtual and face-to-face (ftf) classroom learning is increasing. This is leading to an increase in mixed learning or blended-learning. Due to this growing trend there is a need to reuse course components between these strategies in the interest of efficiency. Additionally, the wide availability of open source software facilitates the construction of learning activities without incurring in licences expenses; activities which can then also be included in other courses. The reuse of these learning activities between virtual, ftf and mixed education may require significant efforts to adapt them if this possibility has not been considered in advance. Adoption of certain architectures and methodologies, that facilitate flexibility and reuse, can simplify this process, as proposed in this paper.  A case study is presented on reusing learning activities on Management Information Systems (MIS) developed for either ftf instruction or for an edX MOOC, that are reused in courses in various learning modes: online, blended learning and face-to-face.

Cyto-serological correlation in toxoplasma lymphadenitis: Is bypassing biopsy plausible?
Authors: Nisar Zeba , N. Pol Jaydeep , J Patil Sachin , V Jagdale Rakhi
Published: June 2021

To study ten cases of toxoplasmic lymphadenitis (TL) in which the diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by subsequent serology.

Retrospective study done over a period of five years. We retrieved ten cases of Toxoplasma lymphadenitis in which fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph node was done after clinical examination. Serology with electrochemiluminescense was done in all the cases.

The cytological features were characterised by microgranulomas, abundance of tingible body macrophages and absence of necrosis. Serologic testing for toxoplasma in all the cases revealed elevated titres.

Lymphadenitis due to Toxoplasma infection should be considered in the diagnosis of unexplained lymphadenopathy at all sites, especially the cervical region. Serologic confirmation should be recommended for all suspected cases. FNAC diagnosis can eliminate the need for hospitalization and surgery. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is 5 case series of cytodiagnosis of TL in the English literature and 2 in the Indian literature. This is the largest case series of cytodiagnosis of TL in the Indian literature and 2 largest in the world literature next to the one done by Haque et al.
To correlate cytological finding with clinical presentation and antithyroglobulin antibodies
Authors: Kaur Dupinder , Agarwal Pooja
Published: June 2021

All cases undergoing FNAC for thyroid swelling during study period were included in the study. The data was collected as per the pre-designed proforma including the general profile, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, USG findings and FNAC observations.

In our study we found, correlation between antithyroglobulin antibody levels, 100-500 IU/ml (53), 501-1000 IU/ml (87) & >1000 IU/ml (10). Chi square = 8.2068; p-value= 0.7120 (insignificant). Correlation between T3 levels, Normal (18), Low (24) and High (108). Chi square = 12.3129; p-value= 0.3580 (insignificant). Correlation between T4 levels, Normal (00), Low (24) and High (108). Chi square = 19.9758; p-value= 0.00012 (significant). Correlation between T4 levels, Normal (00), Low (24) and High (108). Chi square = 79.0167; p-value<0.00001 (significant).

Prospective Observational Study.

Antithyroglobulin antibodies may be insignificant statistically, yet they should always be tested for, in order to establish a better understanding of the cases. The ATG levels should be kept in mind before prescribing a treatment regime for such cases. This not only leads the pathologists to continuously seek for better than the present investigations but also leads clinicians to decide a dynamic management regime. Though there is a defined protocol for thyroid work up of clinically diagnosed patients, newer and more sensitive test need to be devised.
A comparative study to assess the efficacy of addition of dexmedetomidine to levobupivacaine in brachial plexus block
Authors: Aboobacker C P Shabeel , K Shamjith , Baby Melbin , Kutty C Salman Mohammed
Published: June 2021

Brachial plexus block is one of the best surgical technique for upper limb surgeries. It is a good anesthetic and analgesic agent. Though levobupivacaine has a duration of action of three to eight hours it has an acceptable analgesic property and few other practical constraints. Addition of vasoconstrictors like α-adrenergic agonists, hyaluronidase, neostigmine, opioids have been found to be effective. Dexmedetomidine, an α2 receptor agonist has found to be a better adjuvant to levobupivacaine by few literatures.

To assess the effect of levobupivacaine 0.5% alone and with dexmedetomidine 100 μg as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine 0.5% on the onset and duration of sensory and motor block, the duration of perioperative analgesia, complications and sedation score.

This study was conducted after ethical committee clearance in a tertiary care medical college hospital in northern Kerala, India. 60 patients between the age of 18 and 60 years planned for upper limb surgery under brachial plexus block, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. A pre anesthetic checkup was done to assess the patient before including in the study. The patients who were included in the study were randomly assigned into two groups – one group received 1 ml (100µg) dexmedetomidine with 39 ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine(LD group) and the second group received 1 ml of 0.9% normal saline and 39 ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine(LS group) as anesthetic agent through sealed envelope technique. The clinical history, vitals and hemodynamic parameters were monitored and noted prior to and during the surgery. The data collected was analyzed and tabulated.

There was no statistically significant difference between both groups with respect to age, Gender and weight signifying proper random allocation of study subjects. None in LD group required post operative analgesia. The mean duration of onset of sensory and motor block was earlier and duration of motor and sensory analgesia was prolonged with the addition of Dexmedetomidine to Levobupivacaine. The hemodynamic stability was better with Dexmedetomidine. Bradycardia was reported in 20% of study participants who were administered dexmedetomidine

Dexmedetomidine added to levobupivacaine provides better anesthetic and analgesic care in upper limb surgeries done using brachial plexus block.

Authors: Tiwari Pradeep , Kulkarni Aarti , Mathkar Shraddha
Published: June 2021

Transplantation provides a near normal life and excellent rehabilitation compared to dialysis and is preferred method of treatment for end stage renal disease patients.

After ethics committee approval, a retrospective analysis of recipients of renal transplantation was done at our hospital from January 2010 to December 2014. Preoperative patient status, fluid management, hemodynamic parameters, anesthesia management, and perioperative complications were recorded and analyzed.

Total 100 patients were recorded, 92% living and 8% were cadaveric related transplant. 92% were done electively. Most common co-morbidity recorded was hypertension in 49% patients. Predominant cause of end stage renal disease was chronic glomerulonephritis (41%). General anesthesia was technique of choice in all patients, 27 also received epidural. Invasive blood pressure monitoring was done in 3 patients with cardiac co-morbidities. 15% patients required blood transfusion. CVP maintained > 12 mmHg and maximum at de-clamping. Mean arterial pressure maintained above 95 mmHg. Ionotropic support required in 2 patients. 76% patients were transfused with only crystalloid (NS and/or RL) while 24 patients received a combination of both crystalloid and colloid. 97% patients were extubated postoperatively while 3% required ventilator support. Recovery time with desflurane was significantly less as compared to other inhalational agents. One patient died postoperatively.

Recent advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia management and immunosuppressive drugs have made renal transplantation safe and predictable. Preoperative patient optimization, intraoperative physiological stability and postoperative care of renal transplant patients have contributed to the success of renal transplant program in our hospital.

Published: June 2021

Currently most of the anesthetist prefer the usage of multimodal analgesia technique to improve the degree of pain relief without inducing any side effects. Pregabalin and gabapentin when given in higher doses reduces the preoperative anxiety and induce sedation without causing undesirable side effects.

To compare and evaluate the effects of premedication drugs Pregabalin or Gabapentin versus placebo for attenuation of postoperative pain among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.

A prospective comparative study was conducted for a period of 6 months in the department of anesthesiology of our medical college hospital. A total of 90 patients posted for elective laproscopic cholecystectomy in the age group between 20 and 60 years were taken as our study subjects. The entire study subjects were randomized into three groups of 30 each. Group B subjects received 3 tablets of Beplex forte (as placebo), Group G subjects received 3 tablets of Gabapentin 300mg (total 900mg) and Group P subjects received 3 tablets of Pregabalin 50mg (total 150mg). Post-operatively degree of pain, requirement for rescue analgesia, sedation score and adverse events occurred was monitored and analysed between the three groups.

Pain score was less in the pregabalin group at all intervals compared to gabapentin and placebo group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Maximum amount of tramadol requirement as a part of rescue analgesia was seen in the placebo group followed by gabapentin group and minimal dose requirement was needed for pregabalin group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. The occurrence of adverse events such as somnolence and dizziness was almost similar in all the three groups whereas the incidence of nausea and vomiting was less in pregabalin group compared to gabapentin and placebo group.

Pregabalin can be effectively used as a part of the multimodal analgesic to prevent acute postoperative pain among patients undergoing elective laproscopic cholecystectomy.

Published: June 2021

Endotracheal extubation is associated with cardiovascular and airway responses leading to tachycardia, hypertension, arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, coughing, agitation, bronchospasm, increased bleeding, raised intracranial and intraocular pressure which may be life threatening especially in vulnerable patients. Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist is found to attenuate these effects and provide a smooth extubation.

To assess the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic and ventilatory recovery during tracheal extubation.

This comparative study was done in 42 patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria between the age group of 20 to 45 years from both sexes were randomly allocated in to two groups of 21 each. One group received 0.5mg Dexmedetomidine and the other group received 100 ml NS. Both groups were compared for the hemodynamic parameters at different time intervals during the whole procedure and were compared for differences if any.

In the study group, parameters like Mean arterial pressure, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate were under control than the control group. The extubation quality score between controls and dexmedetomidine group (2.14 vs. 1.24) is statistically significant (P<0.001). 14.28% of study group had cough compared to 52.39% in the control group. Bradycardia and Hypertension were significantly higher in the study population.

Justbefore extubation, administration of dexmedetomidine ensures the smooth extubation of the trachea and reduces the cardiovascular responses. It also provides adequate sedation postoperatively.

Many studies have been conducted on problem-solving but only a small number of studies emphasized the strategies of teaching problem-solving. This paper explores the teaching strategies for mathematical problem-solving in a secondary school in Johor, Malaysia. It involves a qualitative study in which a semi-structured interview was conducted with mathematics teachers. Data were analyzed using a sixstep thematic analysis. The results can be viewed from three contexts of findings, namely the teaching strategies, the problems faced by teachers, and the solutions to overcome the problems. The findings revealed that there are teachers who have implemented personal teaching strategies, namely the Easy-Maths Model and the Cut-Stop-Solve Model to effectively teach mathematical problem-solving. The findings also explained some problems in teaching mathematical problem-solving, whereby students’ weaknesses in basic mathematics emerged as the main drawback. This study provides useful information to teachers on the different strategies for teaching mathematical problem-solving.

Published: June 2021

The study assessed the level of environmental disclosure practice of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Anchored on the legitimacy theory, the ex-post facto research design was adopted by the study. The sample was drawn from the population of sixty quoted manufacturing companies on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange as at 31 December, 2017 using the judgmental sampling technique. The study variables were sourced from the annual reports and the stand-alone environmental reports of the selected companies from 2007-2017. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) environmental disclosure index was adopted in assessing the disclosure practice of the companies over the years. The findings showed that the environmental disclosure practice of the quoted manufacturing companies was low in the areas of material, energy, emissions, effluent and waste, water and biodiversity. A good number of the manufacturing companies disclosed very well the theme “others” in the area of environmental expenditure and investment. The study further observed a non-significant statistical difference in the disclosure practice of manufacturing companies over the years (t = -1.440, p = .223). The study concluded that there exists no significant difference in the level of environmental disclosure practice of manufacturing companies in Nigeria from 2007 to 2017.
The Challenges of Child Labour Research: Data Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Lambon-Quayefio Monica P.
Published: June 2021

his Rapid Review is an attempt to instigate a broader discussion on child labour by considering the various dimensions and angles associated with the phenomenon beyond the straitjacket definitions provided in most reports. Its objectives are threefold. First, it aims to determine whether re-analysis of existing data sets is likely to yield new insights into the forms, prevalence and drivers of children’s work in agriculture in Ghana. Second, it aims to provide specific guidance on how these re-analyses might be undertaken and framed. And third, it aims to determine whether any of the available data sets might be used to map the number or density of children to the main agro-ecological zones or agricultural systems. In doing this, the review describes the nature of child work in the agricultural sector, highlighting areas that have often been ignored in the literature. The conclusion offers suggestions for future research on child labour based on our renewed understanding of the broad concept of child work.

Authors: Coultas Mimi
Published: June 2021

From late 2020 to early 2021, the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) collaborated with local government actors and development partners from three sub-national areas to explore ways of increasing local government leadership and prioritisation of sanitation and hygiene (S&H) to drive progress towards area-wide S&H. For some time, local government leadership has been recognised as key to ensuring sustainability and scale and it is an important component of the emerging use of systems strengthening approaches in the S&H sector. It is hoped that this work will provide practical experiences to contribute to this thinking. Case studies were developed to capture local government and development partners’ experiences supporting sub-national governments increase their leadership and prioritisation of S&H in Siaya County (Kenya, with UNICEF), Nyamagabe District (Rwanda, with WaterAid) and Moyo District (Uganda, with WSSCC), all of which have seen progress in recent years. The cases were then explored through three online workshops with staff from the local governments, central government ministries and development partners involved to review experiences and identify levers and blockages to change. This document presents key findings from this process.
Korku Sinemasında Yahudi Eksorsizm Geleneği Üzerine Fenomenolojik Bir İnceleme: The Unborn Filmi Örneği
Authors: ÇİFTÇİ Halit Ahmet
Published: June 2021

Efsaneler ve masallar kutsalı ve kutsalın tarihini ifade etmeye yönelik doğaçlama bir biçimde gelişen anlatım biçimleridir. Onlar aynı zamanda antik insanın çevresine ve kendine dair fenomenleri açıklama yoludur. Antik insan, döneminin bilimiyle veya algısıyla anlamlandıramadığı olguları mitlerle açıklar. Bu olgular arasında bazen kötü ruh inanışı şeklinde de tezahür eden cin, şeytan ve ölü ruh inanışları ve onların maddi dünya ile ilişkileriyle ilgili olan mitler vardır. Cinlerin veya şeytanların ve ölü ruhlarının, insanların bedenlerini ele geçirerek onları rahatsız ettiği hatta zaman zaman ölümlerine sebebiyet verdiği inanışı dünyanın dört bir tarafındaki dinsel toplulukların ve kültürlerin çoğunda yaygındır. İnsanlar cinlerin veya kötü ruhların ele geçirdiğini veya rahatsız ettiğini düşündüğü kişiler için bazı tılsımlar, koruyucu dua (muska) ve nesneler ihdas etmişler; eksorsizm adı verilen cin çıkarma ayinleri düzenlemişlerdir. Bu ayinlerin yapılış usulleri dinlere ve kültürlere göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Yahudi geleneğindeki eksorsizmin de kendine has törensel uygulamaları vardır. Bu çalışmada bu uygulamalar fenomenolojik bir yaklaşımla, Yahudi eksorsizmini konu alan The Unborn adlı sinema filmi bağlamında incelenecektir.

Objective: Obesity is one of the most important health problems of our time. Many people use various methods to lose or maintain their weight. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods used for weight control.Methods: In total, 861 participants were interviewed face-to-face and electronically.Results: In the questionnaire it was found that the various differences in weight loss methods had no significant effects on weight control; however, variables such as body mass index (BMI) at onset of the diet and duration of it, marital status, age and occupation have different repercussions on weight control. In addition, targeted weight loss over a period of time was found to be adequate on dietary success.Conclusion: Our study revealed that different types of diets used for weight loss did not have an effect on reaching the targeted weight or maintaining the weight control.

Ecosystem engineers change the availability of resources for other species by forming new habitat or modifying existing habitat but, despite the diversity of avian ecosystem engineers, 80% of current literature focuses on mammals and invertebrates. Malleefowl Leipoa ocellata build large incubation mounds of soil and leaf-litter that are likely to provide habitat for invertebrates and vertebrates but use of their mounds by other vertebrates has never been quantified. Here, we examine vertebrate fauna visitation rates at Malleefowl mounds and non-mounds using camera-trap data collected by two citizen science projects. From 2012 to 2018, 20 active Malleefowl mounds and 16 non-mound sites were monitored over 31,913 hours and 225,144 hours, respectively. In total, we identified visits by 1724 birds, reptiles and mammals from 36 species. The mean number of vertebrate visits per 1000 hours of surveillance was around one and a half times and species richness five times that at mounds compared with non-mounds. Malleefowl mounds may enhance the availability of invertebrate prey for insectivorous birds and mammals, provide a favourable microclimate for reptiles to thermoregulate, and be signalling/social communication locations. Our results show that further research is warranted and suggest that conservation of Malleefowl may be important not only for the Malleefowl itself, but also for a suite of mallee birds and reptiles.

Teaching material is one of the learning components that used to assist the students understand a material. To fulfill this function, at least the material provided is relevant to the students’ daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop teaching material that meets the concept of contextual learning. The purpose of this research was to produce teaching materials that are suitable to be used by developing a base of local wisdom. Local wisdom were chosen due to they are related to the concept of disaster mitigation, and are close to the students’ daily life. Research method used the Borg & Gall stage which was then adapted into, (1) collecting information and need analysis; (2) planning; (3) teaching material development; (4) prototype testing; (5) prototype revision; (6) model testing; (7) model revision. Through this stage, research product in the form of teaching materials was assessed for its feasibility by several experts and also tested on students as users. Product is targeted to gain a positive response from users with an average score above 70% which indicates that it is quite feasible to be implemented in learning, so that it may be an alternative as a learning resource besides using other textbooks.

Local governments must provide a public green space for 20% of the total city area. In addition for aesthetic value and beauty that is used as source of public recreation and green space that used to create cooler microclimate temperatures, maintain the balance of oxygen (O2) and carbondioxide (CO2), reduce pollutants, and help maintain water availability soil. Research aims to analyze and calculate the needs of Caruban City Green Space. Research used survey method with purposive sampling technique and secondary data analysis. Temperature analysis used the thom formula, while the analysis the needs of green space with the Geravkis method. Results of study showed that in six places had relatively cooler temperatures ranging from 26-31°C in the afternoon, 26-33°C in the morning, and in the middle of afternoon about 29 to 33°C. Data showed that in one place, namely, Ahmad Yani road showed the temperature about 31-36.5°C was relatively hot. Oxygen demand in 2020 requires a full green space of 133.92 ha. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations in the application of Spatial Planning Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning spatial planning to improve the comfort of Caruban City dwellings in terms of the air environment.

Objective. We examined delays during the search for care and associations with mother, child, or health services characteristics, and with symptoms reported prior to death. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study compris­ing household interviews with 252 caregivers of children under-5 who died in the state of Yucatán, Mexico, during 2015-2016. We evaluated the three main delays: 1) time to identify symptoms and start search for care, 2) transport time to health facility, and 3) wait time at health facility. Results. Children faced important delays including a mean time to start the search for care of 4.1 days. The mean transport time to the first facility was longer for children enrolled in Seguro Popular and there were longer wait times at public facilities, especially among children who also experienced longer travel time. Conclusions. Providing resources to enable caregiv­ers to access health services in a timely manner may reduce delays in seeking care.
A stochastic SEIHR model for COVID-19 data fluctuations

Published: June 2021

Although deterministic compartmental models are useful for predicting the general trend of a disease's spread, they are unable to describe the random daily fluctuations in the number of new infections and hospitalizations, which is crucial in determining the necessary healthcare capacity for a specified level of risk. In this paper, we propose a stochastic SEIHR (sSEIHR) model to describe such random fluctuations and provide sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the disease-free equilibrium, based on the basic reproduction number that we estimated. Our extensive numerical results demonstrate strong threshold behavior near the estimated basic reproduction number, suggesting that the necessary conditions for stochastic stability are close to the sufficient conditions derived. Furthermore, we found that increasing the noise level slightly reduces the final proportion of infected individuals. In addition, we analyze COVID-19 data from various regions worldwide and demonstrate that by changing only a few parameter values, our sSEIHR model can accurately describe both the general trend and the random fluctuations in the number of daily new cases in each region, allowing governments and hospitals to make more accurate caseload predictions using fewer compartments and parameters than other comparable stochastic compartmental models.
