Authors: Dr. Sheuly Begum
Published: June 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnancy outcomes. However, there is limited evidence regarding the association between COVID-19 and spontaneous abortion cases, particularly in Bangladesh.
Methods: This retrospective observational study investigated the baseline characteristics of 48 cases of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection at Enam Medical College Hospital, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh between March and July 2020. Participants were included if they experienced fetal demise at 11 or more weeks of gestation, and potential confounding factors, such as fetal malformations or other obstetric disorders, were excluded. Data on demographic characteristics, gestational age, parity, gravidity, and COVID-19 severity were collected and analyzed.
Results: The age distribution of participants ranged from 18 to 33 years, with 50% in the 26-30 year age group. A majority (58.33%) were obese, and 83.33% exhibited mild COVID-19 symptoms, while 16.67% were asymptomatic. Regarding gestational age at the time of spontaneous abortion, 50% were between 11-15 weeks, 41.67% were between 16-20 weeks, and 8.33% were between 21-25 weeks. All participants had at least one previous pregnancy, with 33.33% experiencing their second pregnancy, 41.67% their second pregnancy with a previous live birth, and 25% their third pregnancy with at least one previous live birth.
Conclusions: This study provides insights into the baseline characteristics and maternal outcomes of COVID-19 infected spontaneous abortion cases in Bangladesh. The findings suggest that severe COVID-19 illness may not be a prerequisite for adverse pregnancy outcomes and highlight the need for further investigations into the potential mechanisms of intrauterine SARS-CoV-2 transmission and the role of placental factors. Larger-scale studies are warranted to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes and develop appropriate management strategies.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is one of the most common problems of middle-age. It is one of the inconvenient experiences that have adverse physical, psychological and social effects. The shame, taboos and associated knowledge deficit have interfered with its health seeking approaches that further lower the quality of life. This study was designed to assess the prevalence and health seeking behaviour on urinary incontinence among middle aged women.Methods: The community-based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted to find out the prevalence and health seeking behaviours on urinary incontinence among middle aged women. A total number of 175 women of age group 40-60 years were purposively selected from the Kathmandu metropolitan city ward number 31 from among the voters. Face to face interview was conducted using structured interview schedule. Data were analysed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation range) statistics.Results: The study showed that 56% of the women had urinary incontinence. Among them 59.18% had stress urinary incontinence, and 40.82% women had both stress and urge urinary incontinence. Among them, 74.5 % women did not seek medical consultation. Some of the common reasons for not seeking medical advice were perceiving urinary incontinence as a natural process (79.22%), lack of knowledge(55.84%) and embarrassment (33.77%). The study findings also showed that urinary incontinence was statistically significant with the age of women, parity, place of delivery and mode of delivery.Conclusions: Urinary incontinence is prevalent in more than half of the women and stress urinary incontinence was common among them. Most of the women had not sought any medical advice. embarrassment, lack of knowledge and perceiving the condition as natural were some of the reasons for not approaching for medical consultation.

Published: June 2024

Background: SCFH accounts for sixty percent of all fractures around elbow. Type III SCFH is unstable. CRPP is treatment of choice. Both the crossed-k wires and lateral-entry k wires have been used successfully; however, superiority has not been established. This study compares stability, functional outcomes, radiological outcomes and complications of these two methods.
Methods: This is a hospital based prospective comparative study undertaken at GMCTH from June 2019 to November 2020. Fifty-six children of three to thirteen years with extension type III SCFH were included after taking informed consent. Ethical clearance was taken from NHRC, Kathmandu. Patients were followed up for three months. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 25 and p value <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The average age of participants was 7.70 years.  There were 15 girls (26.7%) and 41 boys (73.3%). Right sided injuries occurred in 32.1% of children with 78.6% sustaining injury on the non-dominant side.  Mean duration of fracture healing was 4.75 weeks. Average Baumann’s angle at three completed months in lateral-entry group was 75.04 degrees and crossed-K wires was 74.50 degrees (p=0.374). The average carrying angle in lateral-entry group was 7.79 and crossed-K wires was 7.29 degrees (p=0.303). Average loss of flexion in lateral-entry group was 2.71 degrees and 2.25 degrees in crossed-K wires (p=0.479). Average loss of extension in lateral-entry group was 3.39 degrees and crossed-K wires was 2.82 degrees (p=0.37). Skaggs et al Criteria for grading loss of reduction showed no loss of reduction in all fifty-six cases.Conclusion: Both the lateral and cross pinning techniques are equally efficient in maintaining reduction in management of supracondylar fracture of humerus. The ulnar nerve injury can be avoided while using the medial K wire by pinning in a semi-flexed elbow with ulnar nerve rolled back.

Los impuestos y la distribución de riqueza
Authors: Acosta Huaman Abel
Published: June 2024

The distribution of wealth is a crucial issue in economics, as economic inequality can have negative effects on society, such as limiting economic growth and affecting social cohesion. Taxes play a critical role in redistributing wealth, especially through progressive tax systems that tax higher incomes more. Furthermore, policies such as investment in education, labor market regulation and housing policies contribute to reducing inequality and improving the distribution of wealth. It is important that governments implement effective measures to ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth, finance essential services and promote inclusive growth, all while combating tax evasion to ensure the sustainability of these efforts.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia has great potential for ornamental fish cultivation. However, excessive exploitation can also disrupt the ecosystem in its waters. Problems regarding maintenance, such as costs and technology, are also often encountered. Therefore, there is a need for optimization in ornamental fish cultivation, which is creating a repeat cycle in the business use and cultivation of marine ornamental fish. The study conducted for six months on South Sulawesi’s waters used a descriptive analysis method. Data collection involved interviews with fishers and traders/collectors, employing purposive sampling. This research focused on the efficiency of ornamental fish marketing (SWOT analysis), analyzing price data as a key indicator. Marine ornamental fish is one of the most valuable assets for the country. Catching, processing, and marketing ornamental fish requires a maximum strategy. Based on research results, 26,686 ornamental fish were successfully exported to various countries. Based on the results of SWOT analysis, three priorities were identified: 1) minimizing net operating costs of fishmeal by producing fish we ourselves eat; 2) expanding market share by expanding the marketing network; 3) joining exhibitions to stimulate local or domestic consumers. To increase sales, it is necessary to expand the marketing network and actively participate in product exhibitions. In addition, it is also necessary to collaborate with fish feed suppliers so that feed needs are always met to reduce production costs. The strategy that has been prepared must also be implemented optimally.

This study aimed to assess the quality of sediments at a dumping site resulting from the drilling of oil and gas wells in Makassar Strait, East Kalimantan Province. To accomplish this objective, samples from seven sites in the study location were analyzed using laboratory equipment for chemical and heavy metals analysis. The heavy metal content was determined based on the 2018 guidelines set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the standard method established by the American Public Health Association using the atomic absorption spectroscopy instrument at the Water Quality Laboratory of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Mulawarman University. The results showed that the quality of the sediments in the Makassar Strait exhibited varying qualities. The physical parameters were dominated by clay with the highest and lowest percentages at point B8 and the initial baseline, reaching 83% and 47%, respectively. The chemical parameters at sites B3 and B8 were of good to excellent quality. Heavy metal parameters displayed a tendency to accumulate metals, with the initial baseline exhibiting the highest distribution and ranging from insignificant to severe pollution levels. Meanwhile, points B1, B2, B3, B5, and B8 indicate mercury contamination with very heavy pollution levels in Class 5. In conclusion, point B8 exhibited superior quality regarding physical, chemical, and heavy metal contamination parameters. These results provide crucial insights into the quality of sediments in the study area, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and management of oil and gas drilling activities in the Makassar Strait to mitigate the negative impacts on the surrounding environment.

Curriculum development cannot be separated from various aspects that influence it. Various curriculum models have been developed by curriculum, education and psychology experts. The curriculum development model is an alternative procedure for designing, implementing and evaluating a curriculum. Therefore, the curriculum development model must be able to describe a learning planning system process that can meet various needs and standards of educational success. This research aims to examine curriculum development models and their implementation in schools. In this article the author uses library research or what could be called qualitative research which obtains data from appropriate journals, articles and books. In the search, researchers will collect as much information as possible from related libraries. These library sources can be obtained from: books, journals, magazines, research results such as theses and dissertations, and other appropriate sources. If researchers have obtained relevant literature, it will be compiled regularly for use in research. The research results found that in developing the curriculum, teachers can choose several models including the Tyler Model, Administrative Model, Grassroots Approach Model, Demonstration Model, Beauchamp System Model or Beauchamp Model, Roger Model, Problem Solving Model and Taba Reverse Model. Curriculum development procedures include curriculum planning, curriculum organization, staff placement, and curriculum control. Meanwhile, curriculum implementation is the process of applying ideas, concepts, policies, in the form of practical actions, so that it creates impacts, both in the form of changes in students' knowledge, skills, as well as values and attitudes. The success of curriculum implementation is also determined by communication about the implementation plan and support from all resources in implementation.

The e-government web portal serves as a crucial platform for providing information that can be easily and universally accessed. This serves as an intermediary between the municipal administration and the community, ultimately resulting in improved and streamlined public services. Several variables, including age and proficiency in using the integrated system, provide insights on how to gauge user satisfaction levels of the information system and its current users. The e-govqual and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) models are accurate indicators of user satisfaction. This article seeks to understand the perception of users of the e-government web portal of the municipal Tanah Datar municipality. It aims to compare the servqual and the IPA model to determine the most suitable method for assessing public perceptions and identifying priority attributes to improve service quality. These two approaches share the same objective, but employ different methodologies. The user's perception of performance is designated as the independent variable (X) using a quantitative approach, while service quality expectations are designated as the dependent variable (Y). This is achieved by combining the Likert scale with five dimensions. This study uses questionnaires to gather data from 275 participants and uses two models, E-govqual and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), to assess user satisfaction. The findings indicate that it is crucial for the government to respond quickly to user issues, provide feedback on user input, and regularly update the material on the Web portal.
DEFENSIVE STRUCTURES OF THE MARI FORTIFIED SETTLEMENTS

The article examines materials from studies of the fortification of Mari settlements of the second half of the I millennium AD. The author gives a general description of the visually recorded parameters of ramparts and ditches. Based on the results of field research, options for reconstructing the ramparts structures and structures along the ramparts crest are proposed. Special attention is paid to the artificial fortifications of the settlement site along the side slopes and the cape. The analysis shows that defensive structures on the rampart and along the perimeter of the settlement could not be erected at once, but as needed or when there were conditionally free hands for this type of work. There is also a strong possibility that the fortification was updated/repaired over time. In general, the nature and quality of the defensive structures around the perimeter of the site of the settlement fully take into account the terrain.

The problem of women’s emancipation is one of the key issues of Tatar culture at the beginning of the XX century. The question was constantly discussed on the pages of the press. The main authors were men. But how did their public views correlate with their everyday experiences? The article analyzes the private life of Tatar cultural figures of the early XX century (Rizaetdin Fakhretdin, Fatih Karimi, Hadi Atlasi, Fazil Tuikin) in the context of the “women’s issue”: the role of mothers in their development, family relationships, influence on sisters, features of raising daughters, etc. The research is based on diverse sources, including materials of personal origin – letters and memories. The author comes to the conclusion that there are two trends in the attitudes of these figures: the first – the education of a Tatar woman was considered a necessity for family life and child rearing; the second – female emancipation and development were considered an important condition for a woman’s independence in everyday life. Both directions were the result of the social experience of the authors.
“I HAVE A BIG BUSINESS ON MY HANDS – A MUSEUM”: I. A. VINOGRADOV’S LETTERS TO S. F. PLATONOV (1903–1924)

I. A. Vinogradov, a local historian, archaeologist, museum and archival worker, occupies a worthy place among the remarkable galaxy of Tver local historians of the late XIX – first third of the XX century. Despite his wide fame at the time, information about him remained concise and did not reveal his multifaceted and long-term activities in the field of Tver local lore, archeology, museum and archival construction. The known materials about him are not numerous, besides they are stored in different places. The letters introduced into scientific circulation addressed to S. F. Platonov, who had 30 years of fruitful ties with Tver local historians, make it possible to fill many gaps in the professional and social life of a remarkable person. This correspondence is the last significant link of communication between the metropolitan professor and Tver history lovers and allows us to complete the picture of the life of the scientific and local history institutions of the Tver Region, the Tver Provincial Scientific Archival Commission and the local museum. The letters are a valuable source about the events that took place on the initiative of the Tver PSAC and S. F. Platonov’s participation in them.
THE NOISY FIERY CELESTIAL PHENOMENON OF IBN FADLAN THROUGH THE PRISM OF NATURALISTIC RESEARCH INTERPRETATIONS OF THE XIX–XXI CENTURIES
Authors:   Udmurt Institute of History, Language and Literature, UdmFRC UB RAS, Puzanov Daniil Viktorovich
Published: June 2024

The article examines the history of the origin and development of naturalistic interpretations of the celestial fiery phenomenon described by Ibn Fadlan. In the XIX century, the sound that accompanied this phenomenon contributed to the recognition of the aurora borealis in it. However, in the XX century the same sound was used to refute this naturalistic interpretation. Despite the criticism, the traditional idea that Ibn Fadlan observed the aurora in the Volga region has limited potential for development within the framework of changing ideas about the physical characteristics of the surrounding world. The paper demonstrates that many historians and ethnographers use naturalistic interpretations in order to find new mythological parallels to the message of the Arab traveler. There are the methodological disadvantages of such a technique, which has not undergone significant changes since the first half of the XIX century. When searching for the ethno-cultural origins of the mythologeme described by Ibn Fadlan, the researcher must completely abstract from his own naturalistic stereotypes.
VOWEL ALTERNATION IN CASE SUFFIXES OF THE UDMURT PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Authors:   Udmurt Institute of History, Language and Literature, UdmFRC UB RAS, Pantyukhina Tatyana Vladimirovna
Published: June 2024

The article discusses phonetic variants of the accusative, ablative, dative, instrumental personal pronouns’ case suffixes in dialects of the Udmurt language, which have different vocal vocalization (-e- ~ -y- / -i-). Variable suffixes in the ablative allow all personal pronouns, in the instrumental – 1pl and 2pl and 3ps, in the accusative and dative – 1pl and 2pl. Allomorphs can be used both in different dialects and within the dialect of the same village. The dative suffixes of 1 and 2 persons -y- ~ -e- are used only in the system of pronominal declension and historically go back to the final vowel of the pronominal basis of the singular number. The remaining case markers are present in the system of substantive and pronominative declension. Morphemes with -i-vocalization are secondary and are formed from -y-morphemes. However, it is not possible to explain the transition by positional changes. The roots of morphological transformations probably go back to the Proto-Permian and Proto-Udmurt periods. Morphemes on -e- are reflexes of the broad final vowel of the basis of personal pronouns 1sg, 2sg, subsequently -e-suffixes participated in the formation of personal pronouns 1pl, 2pl. The case indicators for -y- have a clear similarity to the suffixes of the substantive declension. The borrowing of this variant of morphemes into the system of personal pronouns was due to the pronominal semantics, which is close to the meaning of integral belonging. The material for the study was word forms selected from published dialect texts, articles, monographs, unpublished PhD dissertations, which are devoted to the description of various Udmurt dialects.
