Authors: Mamven Manmak , Ajayi Samuel , Galadima Usman , Nwankwo Emeka
Published: September 2022

Acute kidney injury is a major public health issue in Nigeria, and it is associated with an increase in mortality. The study’s goal was to look at the most common precipitating factors, outcomes, and risk factors associated with mortality in our patients. This study examined the medical records of 11 years, of of hospitalized adult patients with confirmed Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). The patient record was searched for relevant information. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) serum creatinine criteria were used to define AKI. The logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with mortality. A total of 399 patients were analysed. The overall mean age was 45.0 ± 17.3. The older age group (≥ 60years) compared to the younger group (<60 years) developed hospital acquired AKI (10% vs 5%). Pre-existing diseases like, hypertension (p<0.001), diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), anemia (p<0.001), stroke (p<0.001) and malignancy (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the older group. More of the older age group had more than 1 comorbidity (66 vs. 48%), were on diuretic and ACEI. The commonest causes/precipitants of AKI were septicaemia and other infections (62%) and hypovolaemia/hypoperfusion (45%). Overall mortality was 34%. The median length of stay was 11 (7.20) days, 25% had hemodialysis and 16% were admitted in the ICU. The risk factors for mortality identified were, hospital acquired AKI (OR: 6.59, 95% CI: 1.320-32.889, p=0.021), ICU admission (OR: 5.66, 95% CI: 2.061–15.512, p=0.001) and HIV infection (OR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.063-6.424, p=0.036). The Commonest causes of AKI still remain infections and hypovolaemia and mortality from it was high in our patient population. Early identification of AKI and those at high risk of mortality and provision of adequate treatment are critical to improving outcomes in AKI patients.

BACKGROUND: Abdominal wound dehiscence is one of the dreadful complications for surgeons in their daily activities.The Objective of this study was to identify determinants of abdominal would dehiscence among patients operated at Saint Paul hospital millennium medical college.METHODS: A Matched case-control study to determine the predictors of abdominal wound dehiscence among operated patients at St. Paul’s Hospital conducted . Multivariable logistic regression analysis done to calculate odds ratio and identify independent risk factors for abdominal wound dehiscnece.RESULT: A total of 68 cases and 68 controls were studied. Bivariable analysis revealed Preoperative sepsis, condition at admission, an indication of surgery, post-operative wound infection, and post-operative days of hospitalization as independent risk factor for abdominal wound dehiscence. Multivariable analysis proved the presence of preoperative sepsis and an indication of surgery as an independent risk factor. In-patient mortality was 9 (13.2%) in the dehiscence group. More than 90% of patients with dehiscence stayed more than ten days in hospital, but close to half of the controls stayed less than ten days(P<0.05)CONCLUSION: The presence of postoperative wound infection and an emergency surgical conditions were significant risk factors for an occurrence of postoperative abdominal wound dehiscence.Focused follow-up of postoperative wound infection to identify signs of infection and meticulous implementation of perioperative infection prevention practices would save a lot more in a resource-limited setup.

BACKGROUND: Non-adherence to prescribed medications is possibly the most common reason for poor treatment outcomes among people with diabetes although its rate is highly variable. Data on the magnitude of medication non-adherence and associated factors are scarce in the study area. This study aimed to assess the rate of non-adherence and associated factors among diabetic patients at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 17 to July 17, 2021. Study participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected with a pre-tested structured questionnaire and entered into SPSS version 25. Logistic regression was utilized to determine predictors of medication non-adherence at a significance level of ≤ 0.05.RESULTS: A total of 176 study participants were enrolled in the study. About 59% of the study participants had type-2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of non-adherence to anti-diabetic medications was found to be 41.5%. Male sex, rural residence, being divorced, being merchant, self- or family-borne medical cost, and presence of comorbidities were significantly associated with increased rate of non-adherence to anti-diabetic medications.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of non-adherence to medications among diabetic patients is significantly high in the study area. Public health measures should be strengthened to decrease nonadherence among diabetic patients.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Developmental delay is a major health problem throughout the world causing significant individual disability. Even though physical examination and patient history are the most important and basic evaluations of patients with developmental delay, additional investigations are usually required in supporting or reaching a diagnosis among which is neuroimaging. This study aims to assess brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns in patients presented with developmental delay.METHOD: A retrospective analysis of 164 patients who had undergone brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evaluation for the developmental delay was done. The study was conducted between March to November 2021 G.C at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH). The patients’ clinical history and magnetic resonance imaging reports were reviewed from their medical records. All patients with developmental delay who had brain MRI evaluation at TASH and at one private diagnostic center in Addis Ababa were included in the study.RESULTS: A total of 164 patients were included in this study of which 95(57.9%) were male and 69(42.1%) female patients were seen. A total of 120 patients (73.2%) showed abnormal brain MRI studies. Previous neurovascular insults were the most common abnormalities seen in 75(45.7%) patients followed by imaging findings of congenital and developmental abnormalities seen in 20(12.2%) patients.CONCLUSION: Brain MRI is an important input in the evaluation of patients with developmental delay. It can give evidence for the cause of developmental delay, especially in the diagnosis of perinatal/hypoxic-ischemic insults, and congenital and developmental malformations.

RATNA ŠTETA I NAKNADA ŠTETE : Kratak osvrt na neka od pitanja vezanih za naknadu ratne štete iz Drugog svetskog rata
Authors: Novović Dragan
Published: September 2022

War damage always affects personal civil rights. At the end of the Second World War, neither the legislation of the former Yugoslavia nor the Serbian legislation, after the breakup of Yugoslavia, had yet answered the question of how individuals would compensate for war damage suffered. In this paper, the author analyzes national and international regulations governing liability for damages, and various approaches to solving the problem of collecting war claims. Finally, it is concluded that international law does not contain elements of coercion against war-makers and states responsible for paying war damages, and that international policy on the relation of forces in the world applies jus ad bellum.
ISTORIJSKI RAZVOJ PRAVA GRAĐENjA
Authors: Kočan Edina
Published: September 2022

The author presents the historical genesis of the institute of construction law, with the purpose of presenting the reasons for its introduction in the first place, starting from Roman law to the first civil codifications that can be called modern. In this regard, this paper presents Roman long-term land leases first (emphyteusis and superficies). Superficies are considered the forerunner of modern construction law, because, among other similarities, it had almost the same purpose that is achieved today by construction law: to enable cheaper construction of buildings on someone else's land. Part of this paper is dedicated to the reasons for the revival of the institute of construction rights in the first civil codifications from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century (Austrian law, German law, French law). This part of the paper will also reflect the forms of this right (construction rights and superficiary rights) which occurred when the Roman law was accepted in the countries of the Germanic and Roman legal circles. In the same period in Serbian law, there was an institute of permanent right to use construction land in social or state ownership, which was in accordance with the, now abandoned, collectivist concept of property rights and which in some way satisfied the interests of individuals and society as a whole. Today, construction right is regulated by most of the legal systems in the region, but also by the countries of continental Europe. In Serbia, this legal institute has never been regulated in the form we find in comparative law, but its introduction was proposed by the preliminary draft of the Civil Code of Serbia, which, if accepted, will, in our opinion, be fully applied in domestic social relations.

Authors: Rudychev V.G. , Azarenkov M.O. , Girka I.O. , Rudychev Y.V.
Published: September 2022

The possibility of increasing the efficiency of combined iron and lead shielding of transport containers (TC) for SNF transportation by railroad is studied. Models for the transport of SNF γ-quanta are developed, that make it possible to determine the dose rates behind thick shields using the Monte Carlo method. It is shown that for layers of the same mass thickness: the layer of Fe with the thickness of 15 cm, and the layer of Pb with the thickness of 10.4 cm which is equivalent to 15 cm of iron, placement of Fe in the first layer, and Pb in the second layer provides increase of attenuation of the gamma flux by more than 2 times as compared with the reverse order. The attenuation of SNF neutrons by Fe and Pb shields is studied. The gamma flux from SNF can be decreased by ∼ 1.5 times by placement of the most of Fe to the first layer without changing the weight of both layers, in the HI-STAR190UA TC.

Authors: Cornejo Mena Mario Ernesto
Published: September 2022

OBJETIVO: determinar la aplicabilidad de los modelos de análisis de la gobernanza de la educación superior en el estudio comparado de las universidades jesuíticas de Latinoamérica y Europa. MÉTODO: análisis documental. RESULTADOS: los modelos de análisis de la gobernanza de la educación superior son unos constructos teóricos conformados por una serie de categorías y tipos ideales de la gobernanza. Estos modelos de análisis surgieron principalmente para comprender la configuración y la tendencia de cambio de los sistemas de educación superior europeos. Sin embargo, esos modelos han sido escasamente aplicados en el abordaje de la gobernanza a nivel institucional y en el ámbito de la educación superior latinoamericana. CONCLUSIÓN: los modelos de análisis de la gobernanza pueden ser aplicados igualmente en el estudio de la educación superior latinoamericana y europea, pues la estructura de ambos sistemas es similar. Además, esos modelos de análisis también pueden ser aplicados en el análisis de la universidad jesuítica, mientras incluyan la perspectiva de la gobernanza a nivel institucional y se les incorpore las particularidades de la educación superior de la Compañía de Jesús.

La Pandemia provocada por el brote de la COVID-19 a fines del año 2019, desencadenó una serie de restricciones entre ellas el confinamiento total y cierre de fronteras que afectaron de forma significativa el comercio y las empresas a nivel mundial. Esto produjo en el Ecuador una cantidad importante de cierre de negocios y disminución de ventas, impactando a la economía nacional. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo el reflejar las características principales de los socios de la Cámara de Comercio e Industria de Azogues en cuanto a los efectos generados por la emergencia sanitaria y de esta manera establecer propuestas para la reactivación comercial de este sector. Para el efecto, se desarrolló un levantamiento de información mediante encuestas estructuradas que constaban de 46 preguntas en las que se abordaron temas de caracterización de la empresa, efectos de la pandemia en ámbitos económico, comercial, publicitario y productivo, así como sus expectativas sobre recuperación de la industria como de la empresa en sí. Dentro de los principales resultados se obtuvo que la mayor proporción de los socios (49%) tiene un alcance geográfico de ventas a nivel local y tan solo el 6% alcanza clientes internacionales. Con respecto a la percepción del comportamiento de la afluencia de clientes, el 68% consideró que ha disminuido; el 24% señaló que la afluencia ha aumentado, mientras que el 8% restante consideró que se ha mantenido. El 84% de los socios manifestó que las ventas habían disminuido en comparación al histórico de la empresa. Finalmente, la principal expectativa de las empresas es la de recuperar el nivel de ventas que tenían previo a la emergencia sanitaria. Una implicación importante es que las estrategias de reactivación deberían orientar sus esfuerzos para expandir el mercado potencial no solo a nivel local sino regional, nacional; y, porque no, a escala internacional, además de potenciar los canales de distribución tecnológicos

Published: September 2022

La Psicoterapia Analítico Funcional (PAF) es un modelo terapéutico enmarcado en la terapia contextual que tiene por objetivo mejorar las habilidades de una persona a través de la interacción terapéutica durante la sesión. La investigación ha dotado a este modelo de evidencia empírica que lo posiciona como una alternativa en el tratamiento de problemas psicológicos como ansiedad, depresión, problemas interpersonales y abuso sexual. Sin embargo, debido al confinamiento físico que surgió en la pandemia por COVID-19 en el año 2020, la modalidad presencial se convirtió en un factor de riesgo siendo la teleconsulta una opción para brindar atención psicológica de múltiples problemas. Bajo este antecedente, el presente caso muestra la implementación de PAF a través de teleconsulta para incrementar conductas interpersonales socialmente hábiles en un varón de 23 años. Se utilizaron como medidas de evaluación los autorregistros semanales con un diseño n=1 de tipo A-B. A través de la inspección visual se observa un incremento de conductas interpersonales socialmente hábiles y una disminución en la percepción de dificultad, con ello se logra dar un primer avance al mostrar que los procedimientos de la PAF se adaptan a esta modalidad, respetando los lineamientos teóricos de la interacción, sin embargo, la falta de medición a través de instrumentos psicométricos limita el análisis de resultados

A STUDY OF FREUDIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS RELATED TO THE SUICIDE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER IN PAULO COELHO’S VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE
Authors: Ayar Muzaffer Zafer , Demir Fatmanur
Published: September 2022

Suicide, one of the most common problems in modern and postmodern societies, is a socio-psychiatric phenomenon existing in every society or culture. In the past, the study of suicide was mainly included in psychiatry; however, with an increasing awareness of some social factors behind suicide, it has now been tackled from a sociological perspective. In the second half of the twentieth century, changes in relationships and lifestyles of modern society began to be more apparent in postmodern culture. Expectations for the future dramatically decline in this period. The notion of absolute nothingness is now clearly seen in every aspect of human life. All these elements affect humans' inner peace and cause physical, mental, and psychological deterioration. Veronika Decides to Die, written by Paulo Coelho in 1998, deals with the psychological journey of a young woman who loses her motivation to live and attempts suicide. Basing on his own life experiences, Coelho, reveals the psychological transformations of the main character Veronika, whose suicide attempt fails. Therefore, both the conflict between life and death and the conflict between self and society are highly significant to analyze some possible reasons for the suicidal behaviors of Veronika. In this respect, this paper intends to analyze the novel from the psychoanalytic perspective of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The psychological and external motivation behind the suicide attempt will be clarified with theory of life (Eros) and death (Thanatos) instincts, and their relation to id, ego, and superego.

Indikator keberhasilan BPJS kesehatan adalah kepuasan masyarakat yang dinilai dari pelayanan rumah sakit, tetapi beberapa tahun terakhir kepuasan peserta cenderung rendah. Studi Pendahuluan di Rumah Sakit Islam  Ar-Rasyid Palembang menyatakan bahwa pasien peserta  BPJS Kesehatan merasa belum puas terhadap pelayanan yang diberikan. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pasien rawat inap peserta  BPJS Kesehatan berdasarkan 5 dimensi kualitas pelayanan  kesehatan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik kuantitatif dengan rancangan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 73 pasien peserta BPJS Kesehatan yang dipilih dengan metode proportional sampling. Dianalisis menggunakan Chi Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata pasien peserta  BPJS Kesehatan (54,8%) merasakan puas dengan pelayanan yang diberikan. Sedangkan hasil uji Chi Square menunjukkan nilai p value antara tangible (0,003), reliability (0,000), responsiveness (0,000), assurance (0,000), empathy (0,000), dimana terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kelima dimensi mutu dengan kepuasan pasien. Dari komponen pada kelima dimensi mutu terdapat beberapa hal yang masih belum berjalan maksimal diantaranya adalah  fasilitas yang belum maksimal seperti WC, estimasi waktu tunggu yang belum konsisten, komunikasi mengenai informasi kesehatan antara petugas kesehatan dan pasien yang belum baik, dan kurangnya waktu untuk berkonsultasi dengan dokter. Untuk mempertahankan kualitas pelayanan diharapkan Rumah Sakit Islam  Ar-Rasyid Palembang dapat melakukan perbaikan, peningkatan dan pengembangan sarana fisik.

Authors: Araujo Eliete De Pinho , Sousa Manuel De Carvalho e , Rey María José López , Rodrigues Rodrigo Pinho
Published: September 2022

O artigo se refere às alterações provocadas pela COVID-19 no desenvolvimento pós-pandemia da arquitetura, paisagem, sociedade e moradia, não só no Brasil, mas em países como Canadá, Espanha e Portugal. Os objetivos são fazer um compilado das pesquisas dos professores das universidades e profissionais relacionados ao tema. Primeiramente, relatou-se o impacto no Brasil, diferente dos outros três países, considerados desenvolvidos. Em que a pandemia afetará o Brasil? Serão três partes referentes ao tema da moradia. No Canadá, como a Covid-19 está afetando o mercado de trabalho e a vida de uma forma geral? A construção civil não parou porque foi declarada como serviço essencial, sem esse serviço básico, as pessoas não seriam capazes de ficar em casa e permanecer saudáveis. Na Espanha, o estado de alarme foi anunciado pelo governo quando o número de contágios alcançou meio milhão de pessoas. Porém, dentro do dramático cenário, surgiu algo positivo: a qualidade do meio ambiente melhorou. As cidades grandes, com altos níveis de poluição respiram um ar mais puro, a biodiversidade se regenera, as águas estão mais limpas. Em Portugal, o que aconteceu à arquitetura? Continuou elaborando projetos on-line e a construir, com ritmo menor, por medo de contágio e por falta de serviços de apoio. Como resultados, a pandemia veio deixar consequências nas crianças, nas pessoas mais velhas, nos pobres, na geração atual, e em toda a sociedade. Em todos os países verificou-se que deverá ser exigida do Poder Público uma atuação decisiva e eficiente, organizada e fraterna.
Estrategias bioclimáticas pasivas para la zona bioclimática 4 en viviendas de interés social de Perú
Authors: Pari Quispe Diana Karen
Published: September 2022

La vivienda de interés social tiene a la actualidad poco más de cien años de existencia. En el contexto latinoamericano estas tipologías en su gran mayoría no han sufrido grandes variaciones en cuanto a sus características formales y constructivas. En ese sentido la presente investigación propone estrategias bioclimáticas pasivas de calentamiento para la vivienda de interés social. El método se llevó en tres fases: primeramente, se hizo una búsqueda de las estrategias bioclimáticas de calentamiento más adecuadas para clima frio. Seguidamente se hizo una recopilación de los ejemplos de adaptaciones bioclimáticos existentes que conciernen a las viviendas vernáculas de la zona y finalmente se expone las viviendas existentes en el contexto Mesoandino Sudamericano. Como resultados se determinó que las estrategias más acordes para la zona Mesoandina son dos; la mejora de la envolvente térmica interior (EnT) y la estrategia de calefacción solar (CS), las que pueden ser adecuadas a viviendas existentes o nuevas propuestas.

A estrutura linguístico-discursiva do voto do Ministro Barroso na ADO 26 e no MI 4733: uma reflexão à luz do Constitucionalismo Dialógico Contra-Hegemônico
Authors: Bunchaft Maria Eugenia
Published: September 2022

A pesquisa pretende analisar a estrutura linguística do discurso inerente ao voto do ministro Luís Roberto Barroso na Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade por Omissão n. 26 e no Mandado de Injunção 4733, incluindo a tese do papel iluminista do STF, com objetivo de verificar se as ferramentas discursivas utilizadas refletem o idioma contra-hegemônico dos movimentos sociais, ou se, ao contrário, refletem categorias binárias e outros estereótipos de gênero à luz do Constitucionalismo Democrático-Paritário e Constitucionalismo Dialógico Contra-hegemônico. A temática é relevante, pois à medida em que desafiamos processos de opressão vivenciados pelos membros da comunidade LGBTQI+, se torna fundamental diagnosticar que tais formas de subordinação decorrentes da homofobia não podem ser combatidas sem a superação de autocompreensões binárias – que também se manifestam nas decisões judiciais. O trabalho é original, propondo marco teórico inovador, pois o Constitucionalismo Dialógico Contra-hegemônico é uma teoria ampla que sustenta a ideia de uma fusão dialógica contra-hegemônica específica de países periféricos que passam por processos de desdemocratização a qual articula tanto os insights conceituais das teorias da parceria, do equilíbrio e da teoria da democracia de Fraser, com ênfase na releitura desta sobre o conceito gramsciano de hegemonia.

Conclui-se que a estrutura discursiva do voto do Ministro Luís Roberto Barroso revela que não houve uma porosidade jurídico-institucional ao idioma contra-hegemônico dos movimentos sociais LGBTQI+ e que a defesa do papel iluminista do STF poderia reforçar as práticas normalizadoras da sexualidade vinculadas a uma normatização capitalista decorrentes de correntes políticas do neoliberalismo progressista.

Como resultado, não se nega a tese de acordo com qual o STF desempenhou um papel fundamental no enfrentamento da violência homotransfóbica no que concerne ao debate envolvendo o julgamento do MI 4733/DF e da ADO 26, mas o trabalho teoriza sobre a possibilidade de avançarmos para além dessa vitória inicial, pois há elementos textuais conclusivos que revelam uma “cegueira” do ministro Luís Roberto Barroso em relação às temáticas da interseccionalidade e da desconstrução de categorias binárias, que são reivindicações constitutivas da linguagem contra-hegemônica dos movimentos sociais. A pesquisa será operacionalizada pelo método monográfico e por meio do método histórico-analítico delineado por Nancy Fraser. Por fim, a pesquisa documental e a documentação indireta serão utilizadas.
