Endometriosis: The Enigma That It Continues to Be
Authors: Sharma Shikha , Tripathi Akanksha
Published: December 2022

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease and there continues to be controversy regarding its incidence, pathogenesis, history and management despite the extensive research world over. It is an estrogen-dependent, benign, inflammatory disease that affects females during their premenarcheal, reproductive, and postmenopausal hormonal stages. The prevalence in general population is not exactly known and can vary considerably depending on whether symptomatic or asymptomatic population was studied and whether clinical or surgical methods were used for diagnosis. This pathology involves presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity and the lesions additionally also, contain fibrous tissue, blood and cysts. The lesions are most commonly located in the pelvis where they can involve the ovaries, bowel as well as peritoneum and also, other sites including the diaphragm, pleural cavity, urinary system and scar sites. These lesions typically have the tendency to cause extreme anatomical distortions. Although, endometriosis is a benign pathology, ectopic endometrial tissue and resultant inflammation can cause dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pain, and infertility. Symptoms can range from minimal to severely debilitating and may not necessarily corroborate to the degree of anatomical or architectural disarray.
Ecology and Conservation of Mountain Ungulate in the Western and Trans-Himalayas, India
Authors: Ahmad Khursheed
Published: December 2022

The Western and Trans-Himalayan region of India is home to several unique and threatened mountain ungulates including Kashmir red deer or Hangul, Kashmir Musk deer, Urial, Argali, Tibetan Antelope or Chiru, Tibetan Gazelle, Wild Yak, and Wild Ass that are endemic to this region. However, this ecologically significant and diverse biodiversity is threatened by climate change, habitat degradation, and fragmentation accompanied by overexploitation in the form of poaching. In locations where the ungulates are common, the situation inevitably leads to human-wildlife conflict. All these have caused many wildlife species to become ecologically isolated, reduced in numbers, and in the process of becoming locally extinct. Over the years, I have undertaken extensive surveys to assess the status of 20 ungulate species inhabiting the Himalayan region belonging to four families, namely Bovidae, Cervidae, Equidae, and Moschidea including the eight out of the 10 most highly endangered ungulates in India, which are unique to this region. The results of our findings on the current status, information on the lesser known aspects of ecology, and critical factors determining the population decline, knowledge gaps, conservation threats, and management suggestions are presented in this paper.
The Importance of Government Support for Pipeline Network Construction
Authors: Hashimoto Satoru
Published: December 2022

This chapter describes that, focusing on economics theory, a country needs its government support to construct a pipeline network throughout the country. In Japan, before deregulation, vertical integrated companies (gas utilities) provided natural gas to customers in their monopoly area respectively. When the companies transport gas into their own areas, the companies choose to construct pipelines or to use LNG tank trucks from the sight of their strategies. Focusing on long-term uncertainty, short-term uncertainty, and locations, this chapter analyzed the factors of pipeline constructions. The results indicate that if there is another gas utility near a company, then the company construct a pipeline to the gas utility to transport gas. In contrast, if there are no neighbor utilities, the company tends to purchase gas via LNG tank truck. This means gas companies do not construct a pipeline network, or do not try to do it, but construct point to point pipelines. Therefore, without government supports, a pipeline network would not be constructed throughout the country.
Physiotherapeutic Management in Breast Cancer Patients
Authors: Eidenberger Margit
Published: December 2022

Breast cancer treatment can lead to various physic and psychic long-term morbidities, such as restricted shoulder joint range of motion, lymphedema, impaired muscle strength, or cancer-related fatigue. Physiotherapy is a body-oriented approach to tackle these different complaints. This chapter starts with possible prehabilitation approaches until therapy or surgery. It continues with early post-op mobilization and shoulder-arm exercises during the early stages and additionally breathing exercises. In the following rehabilitation period and after hospital discharge, the focus lies on shoulder joint range of motion, muscle strengthening, and body posture to regain normal activities of daily life. This is supported by easy learnable exercises and therapy measures. Lymphedema prevention and treatment are discussed as well as sports therapy, which is divided into endurance and strength training. Therefore, an active lifestyle is encouraged by also considering necessary precautions while training during chemotherapy cycles. Common symptoms and problems, such as cancer-related fatigue and chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy, are tackled with techniques, such as yoga or balance training. Scar therapy and radiation-induced lung injury are delineated followed by massage therapy proposals and specified exercises to enhance oxygen uptake.

Published: December 2022

Epidemiological reports offer evidence that gender differences mediate respiratory diseases. Male sex is a major risk factor for respiratory distress syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates. An imbalance between oxidants/antioxidants leads to stress, which has been implicated in airway disease development. It is known that androgens deficiency induces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the lung, synchronically with changes in the expression of cytoprotective markers. Additionally, males are more susceptible to acute and chronic inflammation after toxicant exposure. Besides, nutrition is an important factor, given that lipids are the main blocks for surfactant production and for testosterone synthesis. Also, an adequate amount of Zn in the diet prevents inflammation and is necessary for testosterone and androgen receptor structure and function. This chapter focuses on understanding the effect and clinical implications of testosterone deficiency on lung tissue as well as exploring the role of lipids and zinc in the outcome of several respiratory diseases.
Cyclo-Stationarity in Sea Level Variability from Satellite Altimetry Data and Correlation with Climate Indices in the Mediterranean Sea
Authors: A. Natsiopoulos Dimitrios , A. Tzanou Eleni , S. Vergos Georgios
Published: December 2022

The exploitation of altimetric datasets from past and current satellite missions is crucial to both oceanographic and geodetic applications. For oceanographic studies, they allow the determination of sea level anomalies as deviations from a static mean sea level. This chapter deals with numerical experiments for the statistical analysis of Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) variations in the Mediterranean. SLA empirical covariance functions were calculated to represent the statistical characteristics of the sea variation for the period between 2002 and 2016. The variation of monthly SLA time series was investigated, and a correlation analysis was performed in terms of epoch-based pattern re-occurrence. To identify possible correlations with global and regional climatic phenomena that influence the ocean state, three indexes have been investigated, namely the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), the Mediterranean Oscillation Index (NOI), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Finally, Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were applied to all SLA time series and for each satellite mission to extract the individual dominant modes of the data variability. After the analysis, the SLA field is separated into spatial structures (EOF modes) and their corresponding amplitudes in time, the Principle Components (PCs).

Published: December 2022

Cumin is a seed spice which finds its place in variety of global cuisines, especially in Indian context. India leads in the world in production of cumin with 70% of world’s production and consumes 90% of this produce. It is a high potential crop with great demand around the world due to changing food consumption behavior, and increasing demand for value-added products such as oil and powder. Cumin has a distinct flavor and aroma owing to presence of essential oils. Cumin has different biological and biomedical properties and finds use in various ayurvedic preparations in different forms. Cumin has been found in three types of colours: amber, white, and black. Among this amber is widely accepted and black also have unique flavor. Cumin is a crop of tropical and subtropical regions and suitable for cultivation on wide variety of soils. Cumin production can be easily done with very few hindrances such as frost injury, wilt and powdery mildew. There is a lot of scope and prospectus regarding its cultivation which can be exploited in other cumin suitable regions of the world through various agronomical innervations, crop improvement programs and biotechnological tools.
Liposomal Amphotericin-B Infusion-related Reactions and Rate of Infusions: A Single Center Cohort Study
Authors: BANAKH Iouri , HUA Qiantong , METCALFE Julie
Published: December 2022

Objectives: Liposomal amphotericin B is a broad-spectrum antifungal treatment used for life-threatening infections, but it commonly induces infusion-related adverse events that may prevent treatment completion. Based on anecdotal evidence, a slow infusion guideline at treatment initiation has been suggested to reduce these reactions. This study aimed to determine if slowing down the infusion rate on treatment initiation would reduce the rate of infusion-related adverse events.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted examining the primary outcome of adverse event rates between patients who received slow and standard (2-hour or faster) infusions at a major hospital in Australia. Secondary outcomes were risk factors associated with infusion reactions. The rates of adverse events were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test.

Results: An 8-year audit identified 47 patients who were administered liposomal amphotericin-B. The average age of the study population was 61.7 years and 28 (59.6%) were male patients. Slower than standard infusions were given to 5 (10.6%) patients on treatment initiation. Infusion-related adverse events occurred in 2 (40.0%) patients with reduced rates and 5 (11.9%) patients with standard infusion rates (p=0.154). Typical reactions were myalgia, dyspnoea, and flushing. Four patients with adverse events had been rechallenged after further rate reductions and prophylactic medications with the completion of treatment. No risk factors for adverse events were identified among demographics, comorbidities, or co-prescribed medications.

Conclusion: Slowing the infusion rate of liposomal amphotericin-B administration does not appear to reduce the likelihood of infusion-related reactions, however, it can be trialed for adverse-event management. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2022; 12(4): 148-153.

Published: December 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted people of all ages, including neonates. However, confirmed data on its vertical transmission is still scarce. As a result, displaying various cases of COVID-19 in neonates may assist in understanding the virus's behavior during pregnancy. This report shows a 32-year-old mother with a 5-day history of acute respiratory disease tested positive for COVID-19 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), presented with labor pain at 34 weeks of gestation, and underwent an emergency cesarean section. She gave birth to a preterm male baby, who tested positive for RT-PCR less than 24 hours after birth and fifth day of life. His outcome was good. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2022; 12(4):160-162.

Unusual Association of Non-paraneoplastic Variant of Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome with Predominant B-cell Inflammatory Myopathy
Authors: Kurdi Maher
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis disease (MGD) and inflammatory myopathy (IM) are commonly reported in the literature and usually appear with thymic pathology. Lambert-Eton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) associated with IM is extremely rare. Case Presentation: We report a 42-year-old female patient who presented with proximal muscle weakness of the upper and lower limbs, normal creatinine kinase (CK) level, and positive acetylcholine and voltage-gated calcium channel receptor antibodies. There were no oculobulbar symptoms and no history of thymoma, and the electrophysiological tests were unremarkable. Muscle biopsy revealed focal perimysial and perivascular inflammation, predominantly B-cell lymphocytes, in a non-necrotizing muscle. Conclusions: LEMS associated with IM, particularly B-cell inflammation, has never been reported in the absence of cancer history. Clinical investigations and myopathological features can help establish the diagnosis.

Authors: Chenaneh Hadi , Rashidi Mojtaba , Ahmadi Angali Kambiz , Adelipour Maryam
Published: December 2022

Background: Since breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women around the world, finding new biomarkers for early diagnosis of breast cancer is invaluable. Objectives: This research assessed the mRNA expression of triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) and tandem C2 domains nuclear protein (TC2N) genes among Iranian patients with breast cancer. Methods: We acquired 50 samples of cancerous breast tumors and corresponding adjacent non-cancerous tissues from Iranian women. The gene expression of TREM2 and TC2N was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-RT-PCR). In addition, the association between TREM2 and TC2N levels with various clinicopathologic characteristics was also investigated. Results: The increased levels of TREM2 and TC2N mRNAs were shown in breast cancerous tissues in comparison with adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P < 0.05). Among the clinicopathological characteristics evaluated, tumor size, necrosis, and lymphatic tissue invasion were significantly associated with high TREM2 expression. A significant relationship was also seen between increased TC2N expression and tumor grade. Sensitivity and specificity were shown at 84% and 94%, respectively, for TREM2 and 72% and 100% for TC2N. Conclusions: The data suggest that TREM2 expression, but not TC2N, could be a suitable biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis.

Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria: uma investigação acerca de percepções de seus usuários
Authors: Heinz Gabriela
Published: December 2022

Inicialmente, motivada pelas descobertas das atrocidades ocorridas em experimentos no período da 2ª Guerra Mundial, a ética em pesquisa tornou-se tema recorrente no meio científico. Ela visa orientar os pesquisadores na condução de suas atividades, a fim de resguardar os participantes da pesquisa contra eventuais riscos e danos e também assegurar a potencialização dos benefícios, com retorno social. Nesse sentido, o Conselho Nacional de Saúde, por meio de suas Resoluções, instituiu em 1996 a Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (Conep) para gerenciar os Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa (CEPs), os quais avaliam projetos de pesquisas que envolvam seres humanos. Considerado relativamente jovem, o sistema ainda gera dúvidas e questionamentos por parte de seus usuários, além de dificuldades quanto à formalização dos projetos junto à Plataforma Brasil. Com base nesse contexto, definiu-se como objetivo deste estudo conhecer as percepções dos usuários em relação a atuação do CEP/UFSM. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso com dados obtidos através de 376 pareceres emitidos pelo CEP, no período de 2016 a 2019, e de questionários aplicados para os usuários, via plataforma Google Forms que obteve o retorno de 187 respondentes. Na documentação levantada, foi realizada análise de conteúdo e, nos dados quantitativos dos respondentes, foram realizadas análise a partir de estatística descritiva e fatorial. As principais pendências encontradas nos pareceres dizem respeito a aspectos do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE), metodologia, formalidades necessárias nos demais documentos obrigatórios e informações discordantes fornecidas no projeto, Plataforma Brasil e documentos anexados. Em relação às percepções dos usuários, verificou-se que com exceção dos que pertencem a área da Saúde, eles não sentem que as especificidades de suas pesquisas estejam contempladas nas Resoluções emitidas pelo CNS, mesmo assim, de modo geral há compreensão acerca do que é ética em pesquisa e porque ela é importante. A principal dificuldade percebida no processo de submissão e aprovação de um projeto é a utilização da Plataforma Brasil, seguida da elaboração de documentos e obtenção de autorização institucional. Apesar das dificuldades os respondentes consideram rápido o retorno do CEP na avaliação dos projetos e veem facilidade na obtenção de informações junto ao Comitê, além disso, consideram os pareceres emitidos claros e objetivos. Conclui-se que a condução da operacionalização das atividades no CEP/UFSM possui aceitação por parte de seus usuários, porém os mesmos carecem de atividades de capacitação sobre a utilização da Plataforma Brasil, elaboração de documentos e legislação, principalmente em áreas de conhecimento específicas.
Temporal order of sexual offending is risk-relevant for individuals with child sexual exploitation materials offences
Authors: Babchishin Kelly M. , Lee Seung C. , Eke Angela W. , Seto Michael C.
Published: December 2022

The current study examined the extent to which the temporal order of sexual offending may be risk-relevant for men with Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM; also referred to as child pornography) offences. We categorized 85 men who had committed two distinct sexual offences (CSEM or contact sexual offence) into three groups: (1) 47% (n = 40) followed a stable pattern, that is, men with CSEM offences who then committed a new CSEM offence; (2) 41% (n = 35) followed a de-escalation pattern, that is, men with contact sexual offences who then committed a CSEM offence; (3) and 12% (n = 10) followed an escalation pattern, that is, men with CSEM offences who then committed a contact sexual offence. Compared to the other groups, the stable group had more sexual interest in children, the de-escalation group had a younger age at first police involvement and more prior offending, and the escalation group had more substance use problems. We then examined recidivism (any new offence after the second sexual offence) and found that the escalation group had the highest 5-year and 7-year reoffending rates (start of follow-up: opportunity after the second sexual offence) for any crime, any non-sexual violence, any violence (including contact sexual offences), and any contact sexual recidivism. The de-escalation and stable groups had the highest CSEM recidivism rates. The current study suggests that ordering of offending within men adjudicated for CSEM offences is risk-relevant and that those who fit the escalation pattern may be at higher risk to reoffend.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo do artigo é relatar a experiência de inauguração e os primeiros anos do Conselho Municipal de Política Pública de Campinas (CMPC). Como contexto teórico, parte-se dos entrelaçamentos entre micro e macropolíticas na área cultural, sobretudo no campo teatral. A metodologia para a pesquisa contou com entrevistas, questionários, presença em reuniões do Conselho e das Câmaras, além de análise de atas e de reuniões gravadas. Conclui-se que a experiência do CMPC, neste momento, é tão descolonizante de inconscientes quanto a micropolítica da arte.

Mapas e Desejos: os Universos de Ensaio para uma Cartografia e O Escuro que te Ilumina no teatro de Mónica Calle
Authors: Marques António Figueiredo
Published: December 2022

O artigo estuda a viragem performativa no teatro de Mónica Calle – Casa Conveniente, em que a fala, aparentemente excluída, e a dramaturgia do corpo, em exacerbamento, se tornarão um modo de texto ausente. Para tal, comparam-se dois espetáculos, Ensaio para uma Cartografia e O Escuro que te Iluminaou as Últimas Sete Palavras de Cristo, e seus universos de criação. Propôs-se uma cartografia performativa resultante dos mapas espaciais e subjetivos desses universos, efetuando uma historiografia da companhia, discutindo uma espectadoria da estética da encenadora e textualizando as experiências do corpo. Através de uma abordagem autoetnográfica, imergiu-se, de modo teórico e prático, no pulsar, no desejo, na resistência física e espiritual e na dialética singular-coletivo – características do trabalho artístico de Calle. Em regimes de escrita distintos, o artigo divide-se em duas partes: em I analisam-se as fases de criação dos dois universos e em II desenvolve-se um ensaio comprometido de investigador-performer.
Teatro que Roda invade a cidade: Ensaio acerca do espetáculo Das Saborosas Aventuras de Dom Quixote...
Authors: Melo José Alencar de , Oliveira Natassia Duarte Garcia Leite de
Published: December 2022

No presente artigo, discorreu-se sobre a montagem do espetáculo de rua Das saborosas aventuras de Dom Quixote de La Mancha e seu escudeiro Sancho Pança - um capítulo que poderia ter sido (2006), uma livre adaptação do clássico Dom Quixote de la Mancha (1605), de Miguel de Cervantes, dirigida por André Carreira. O objetivo é compreender a ocupação do espaço urbano enquanto espaço cênico, investigando a rua como possibilidade dramatúrgica. Para a análise, elencou-se o conceito de teatro de invasão, proposto por André Carreira, e inaugurou-se a categoria de ‘organiCidade’. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com o diretor do espetáculo e os integrantes do grupo Teatro que Roda, as quais puderam elucidar o processo de criação do coletivo e de composição cênica proposta para a montagem. Compreende-se que a ocupação deste espaço social produz múltiplas camadas de significação da, para, com e pela rua e exige ampliar a noção de espacialidade no campo das Artes da Cena.
A carne fria - performance, espaços públicos e ativismo político na cena contemporânea
Authors: Jacob Elizabeth Motta
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem como objeto as performances realizadas desde 2012 pelo grupo Anima Naturalis em frente à Catedral de Barcelona, Espanha. A performance consiste na apresentação de 20 ativistas embalados, etiquetados e sujos de sangue artificial em bandejas iguais as usadas para a venda de carne nos mercados. Ao escolher esta performance nossa preocupação recai nos discursos cênicos daí imanentes que operam no corpo e no espaço urbano, buscando novas dimensões políticas, éticas e estéticas. Visamos ainda entender como a arte contemporânea profana a antiga imagem do corpo idealizado pela arte, afirmando, neste caso, a literalidade do corpo humano, problematizando-o e evocando as ambiguidades constituintes de nossa percepção do mesmo, a nível de sua fisicalidade, imagem e representação através de processos de cenificação performática.
Cidade e experiência estética: ocupar as ruas, para ocupar os currículos
Authors: Santos Abimaelson
Published: December 2022

Há nas relações formativas contemporâneas a necessidade atitudinal e epistêmica de se fazer da cidade um espaço para que a experiência estética possa existir e, assim sendo, uma das maneiras para que tal premissa educativa, que resvala diretamente na formação de novos espectadores, possa se consolidar enquanto área de conhecimento e campo de experiência seria a ocupação regular dos espaços públicos por ações estéticas diversas, desse modo, as Universidades não estão fora deste contexto. Assim, de maneira ensaística, o trabalho a seguir levanta algumas reflexões sobre as potências formativas que a cidade pode oferecer na construção de artefatos estéticos e, ainda, algumas possíveis relações entre currículo, cidade e cultura na formação artística.
Teatro performativo no contexto das afasias: elaboração de procedimentos e pedagogias nas artes da cena
Authors: Calligaris Juliana Pablos
Published: December 2022

Este artigo reflete sobre o ato teatral performativo e a coocorrência de semioses verbais e não verbais em contextos de afasia. A reconstituição de semioses multimodais pela afásica, não na ausência da afasia, mas na presença da afasia. Investiga a noção de densidade modal das semioses que se interconectam, visando salientar que elas são: distintas; que sua relevância na construção do sentido depende do recurso multimodal, da capacidade oral e motora da afásica, de recursos mais convocados e recorrentes na cena, do contexto de produção do sentido. Aprofunda interesses teóricos, estéticos, metodológicos e práticos acerca da encenação performativa com pessoas afásicas a fim de desenvolver um campo de estudos que contribua com as práticas e pedagogias de criação nas artes da cena.

Aqui, apontamos a experiência de criação do espetáculo Espaços Invisíveis (2013), na qual o processo foi dividido em um primeiro momento de ações performativas na cidade de São Paulo, e em um segundo momento, no qual o material criado na primeira fase na rua inspirou e originou a montagem para espaço não convencional. Assim, refletimos sobre como corporeidades, espaços e cidade têm se articulado no fazer da dança, para traçar paralelos entre o processo coletivo do grupo e as ideias de dança de ocupação, arte relacional e contextual, dialogando com discussões sobre os regimes espaciais e cinéticos nas cidades segundo Milton Santos e André Lepecki.

Published: December 2022

Trata-se da resenha de uma obra intensa e complexa, no qual a autora cria o conceito metáfora realismo sedutor, com o objetivo de revisitar a apropriação do vocábulo teatro que ramifica para o binarismo real-ficção vindo associado à tradição aristotélica. A proposta nos faz pensar a educação do corpo na e para a arte, Ribeiro instiga a pensar que atuar não é interpretar o real, mas experimentá-lo através de um corpo intuitivo, que interfere e é interferido pelo meio social, político, econômico e cultural, de modo afetivo, por isso sedutor, revolucionário, transgressor. Nisso desafia o que se entende e o que se ensina a respeito da arte teatral, quando propõe rupturar com as telas do real e da representação que nos condicionam. investe em um corpo múltiplo, intempestivo artaudiano, que se desdobra ao longo do texto em outros conceitos corpos, maquinímicos, biopolíticos, antropofágicos, esteticamente emancipados.

Many human activities that have an effect on water quality and aquatic health are increasing along Eleyele Lake, which is a vital resource for domestic water supply and fishery in Ibadan, southwest Nigeria. This study provides information on the composition of macrophytes and benthic macroinvertebrates (which are bioindicators) in association with physicochemical parameters in Eleyele Lake. Water, macrophytes, and benthic macroinvertebrates were collected from four stations monthly from March to August 2021 and analysed using standard methods. The relationship between the measured physicochemical variables, macrophytes, and the abundance of benthic macroinvertebrate was explored using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The encountered macrophytes represented 19 species (11 emergent, six floating and two submerged) in 16 genera and 12 families. The most abundant species was Ipomea aquatica (25.83%) in station 2 and Sacciolepsis africana (19.19%) in station 1. A total of 282 benthic macroinvertebrate individuals belonging to three phyla, four classes, 11 genera, and 11 species were encountered. Pollution indicator species including Melanoides tuberculata, Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Chironomus larvae observed in all the sampling stations were the dominant species. The CCA indicated that the abundance of macrophytes correlated with depth and nutrient factors (mostly phosphate). The result of the CCA showed the abundance of Chironomus larvae being patterned by dissolved oxygen and nutrient factors (phosphate, nitrate, and sulphate). These further confirmed the polluted status of Eleyele Lake, especially by nutrient enrichment. The dominant macrophytes and benthic macroinvertebrates in Eleyele Lake are pollution-tolerant species and the lake has been impacted by nutrient enrichment.

The stairwell door handles in blocks of flats are the objects that every resident and guests touch at least several times a day. For this reason, many microorganisms collect on them, which can cause infections of varying severity. Therefore, it is very important to observe proper hand hygiene and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces on the stairwells of blocks of flats. Research samples were taken in the months of October-November in 2021 and December-January in 2022, in the morning (between 7:00 and 8:00) and in the evening (between 19:00 and 20:00), from the stairwells of the blocks of flats in the city of Kaunas. One-hundred samples were taken in the autumn season (50 in the morning and 50 in the evening) and 100 samples in the winter season (50 in the morning and 50 in the evening). The research sample consisted of 200 samples; four analytes were analysed in each sample: Enteroccocus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The stairwell door handles of multi-apartment buildings were contaminated with Enterococcus spp. the most and with S. aureus bacteria the least. Slightly higher microbial contamination of multi-apartment stairwells was observed in the evening. Microbial contamination of multi-apartment stairwell door handles was observed to be higher in the autumn season than in the winter season.
Source First or Target First? Insight into the Order of Reading in Revision Using In-depth Interviews
Authors: Riondel Aurélien
Published: December 2022

While revision procedures have been studied in some detail in the literature on revision, the question of the order of reading during bilingual revision has hardly been investigated. This article explores this issue by analysing in-depth interviews conducted in Switzerland with translators in different professional contexts. It discusses the practices described in the interviews and analyses the reasons given by the participants for choosing their method. It shows that both orders of reading are well represented in the dataset: 10 participants read the source first during the bilingual check, 9 read the target first, and only 3 alternate between both orders. No pattern was found according to sector activity or languages, but trends emerge at the level of translation departments. The justifications provided by translators appear very similar: all participants who read the source first stated they seek to better spot discrepancies in meaning, whereas participants who read the target first indicated they want to avoid interferences between the languages or better appreciate the readability or correctness of the target language.

BACKGROUND

This study evaluates and describes the pattern of services provided for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a local area as a starting point for a more global assessment.

METHODS

A health care ecosystem approach has been followed using an internationally standardized service classification instrument–the Description and Evaluation of Services and DirectoriEs for Long Term Care (DESDE-LTC)–to identify and describe all services providing care to people with MS in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Available services were classified according to the target population into those specifically dedicated to people living with MS and those providing general neurologic services, both public and private, and across both social and health sectors.

RESULTS

A limited range of services was available. There were no local facilities providing or coordinating multidisciplinary integrated care specific to people with MS. Subspecialty services specific to MS were limited in number (6 of the 28 services), and use of specialist services provided in neighboring states was frequently reported. Overall, very few services were provided outside the core health sector (4%).

CONCLUSIONS

The provision of care to people living with MS in the Australian Capital Territory is fragmented and relies heavily on generic neurology services in the public and private sectors. More widespread use of the DESDE-LTC as a standardized method of service classification in MS will facilitate comparison with other local areas, allow monitoring of changes over time, and permit comparison with services provided for other health conditions (eg, dementia, mental disorders).

Se ha elaborado un currículum de habilidades y competencias en forma de libro blanco que permite capacitar a los educadores sociales utilizar Internet y las redes sociales en el contexto de la participación política, social y cultural. Este currículum tiene como objetivo revelar la ideología que subyace a la concepción dominante de la alfabetización y dejar de priorizar la adquisición de habilidades utilitarias con el objetivo de preparar al usuario para su inserción en el mercado laboral. Se aboga por una alfabetización digital que ponga el foco en la promoción de valores como la intervención, los cuidados, la conciencia crítica y la emancipación aumentando el impacto cívico y social de las iniciativas alfabetizadoras. Esta alfabetización digital crítica, además, fomenta el conocimiento y uso de herramientas y programas de software libre, analiza las estructuras de poder existentes y promueve el activismo ciudadano autónomo.
The Way of Life of the Old Believers of Buryatia: the Crisis of Religious Identity in the 1920s.
Authors: Khomyakov Sergei Vasil'evich
Published: December 2022

The subject of the research in the article is the problem of transformation of the way of life of the Old Believers of Buryatia before and in the 1920s and their reactions to the increasingly increasing intrusion into the life of the structures of Soviet power. The object of the study is the Old Believer population of the Verkhneudinsky district of the Trans-Baikal region (since 1923 - the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR). The article considers such aspects of the topic as: comprehension of the decline of the spiritual life of the Old Believers, noted by researchers until the 1920s (the tendency of the transition of religion into a heterogeneous complex of household rituals, the increasing rejection of prohibitive practices) and the study of the degree of real influence of the Soviet government on the objectively changing worldview of the Old Believers since the beginning of the XX century. The comparative-historical method necessary for comparing the sides of various phenomena and highlighting the common and special was necessary when analyzing the unequal attitude to the Soviet government on the part of the Old Believers of different settlements. The historical-genetic method used to study changes in the phenomenon over time was used in the analysis of the transformation of the Old Believer identity in the XIX – early XX centuries. The main conclusions of the study are as follows. For the Old Believers of Buryatia, the 1920s were a time of crisis of their religious identity caused by the gradual transformation of its meanings, their adaptation to the reality in which it was difficult to maintain their foundations from generation to generation in an unchanged state. The Soviet government and its concept of atheization and the "cultural revolution" in the countryside became only an additional factor for the identity crisis. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that information from archives and newspapers are introduced into scientific circulation, allowing to show the indirect nature of the actions of the Soviet government in relation to the decline of the traditional way of life of the Old Believers.
