Published: April 2023

Theme parks in South Korea are classified as amusement facility businesses and correspond to the service industry along with wholesale, retail, and lodging industries. Theme park has a labor-intensive structure with many temporary workers working, leading to various accidents including minor accidents. Company A, a large theme park in Gyeonggi Province, has more than 4.8 million guests annually, and the number of temporary workers exceeds about 2,000 per day during the peak season from April to October. Therefore, this study aims to find an effective approach to prevent safety accidents at work for the temporary workers in the theme park. In this study, the cause of safety accidents was composed of the contents of a survey through interviews with 17 department heads belonging to large theme parks A and review of previous studies. A survey was conducted on 370 temporary workers belonging to Company A from December 1st to December 20th, and statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS program for the collected data. As a result of the study, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire items were found to be good, and 26 questionnaire items were composed of five factor structures: facilities, education, communication, psychology, and regulation/policy. It was confirmed that temporary workers have the highest awareness of regulatory/policy factors among the five factor structures. Next, education, communication, psychology, and facilities were in order. The results of this study are meaningful in confirming the hypothetical factor structure of the cause of safety accidents of temporary workers and confirming that there are relative differences in the recognition of importance by factor. It is believed that establishing a safety management system by focusing on factors that temporary workers perceive as important will be effective in preventing theme park safety accidents. Future research is expected to help prevent theme park industrial accidents if we investigate how the perception of the cause of safety accidents derived through this study differs from regular workers.

Objective: The present study aims at the assessment of the radiological union and clinical outcomes of scaphoid fracture followed by fixation by Herbert Screw. Study design: A cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted Muhammad Medical College and Hospital Mirpurkhas from may 2021 to may 2022 Methodology: A total of 20 patients were included in the study and all of them had sustained a scaphoid fracture. All of them were treated with Herbert screw fixation. Overall 18 of them were male and 2 were female. Serial radiographs were obtained for the assessment of union and the Modified Mayo wrist scoring (MMWS) system was used for the assessment of functional outcomes. The patients were called after 6 months of surgery for a follow-up visit. A total of 9 (45%) patients were treated within the first week of the injury. Overall 5 (25%) were treated in two weeks and 6 (30%) were treated in 2 to 4 weeks Results: Out of 20 patients included in the study, 17 had fractured at the waist of the scaphoid and the remaining 3 had sustained fractures at the proximal pole of the scaphoid. The dorsal and volar approach of fixation by Herbert Screw was used for treating all the fractures. A good alignment was observed post-operatively. Out of all the 20 patients, 12 (60%) patients showed excellent outcomes with a full range motion of the wrist, 6 (30%) had shown good results, and 2 (10%) showed poor results. A final follow-up was arranged during the sixth month of treatment and 18 (90%) patients showed adequate radiological union. Conclusion: Fixation of scaphoid fracture with a Herbert Screw in a convenient and effective mode of treatment which has shown excellent functional outcomes and exceptionally reduced complications.

Published: April 2023

Background: The surgical treatment of perforated duodenal ulcers is not controversial; however, the best surgical strategy is still up for debate. The perforation closure with an omental patch or without it during surgery is the basis of perforated duodenal ulcers treatment. Laparoscopic surgery can now be used to repair a perforated duodenal ulcer due to developments in minimal access surgery. Aim: In this analysis, the results of open versus laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcers were compared in terms of operating time, length of hospital stays, postoperative pain and complications after the operation, among other factors. Methods: This prospective comparative study was held at the surgical department of Agha Khan University Hospital, Karachi for one-year duration from January 2022 to December 2022. Patients were divided randomly into two groups, A and B, who underwent operations using laparoscopic and conventional methods, correspondingly, and results were compared. Results: This study found that men between the ages of 51 and 60 were most frequently affected. Laparoscopic group patients experienced much less post-operative pain, need less analgesics, minimum wound infection, and less stay in hospital than open group patients (p 0.05). Conclusions: Laparoscopic repair when performed on carefully chosen patients for perforated duodenal ulcers, it is safe, practical, and produces better outcomes than open surgery. Keywords: Omental patch, laparoscopic repair, open repair, perforated duodenal ulcer

Background: A displaced mid-shaft clavicle fracture in an adult is a break in the collarbone, which is the long bone that runs from the shoulder to the chest. Mid-shaft fractures occur in the middle portion of the collarbone and the displaced fracture means that the broken pieces have moved out of their normal alignment. Study design: It is a comparative study conducted at Orthopedics Department of Pakistan Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi for the duration of six months from Jan 2022 to June 2022. Material and Methods: The patients who were treated without operation were compared with operative patients for better results. Both groups contained 60 patients. The average age of the patients was 29.9±7.8 in the control group and 32.1±8.1 in the non-operative group. There were 32 and 28 patients in control group that had right and left side of injury respectively. This study was approved by the ethical and the review board committee of the hospital. The data was collected and statistical analysis was performed. Results: The functional outcome of the patients is constant score fracture was calculated and clavicle shortening was carefully observed. The average shortening of clavicle was 0.71±8.1 cm. After a follow-up of 3 months’ clavicle shortening was calculated. The outcome was linked to amount of clavicle shortening among patients Conclusion: The study was done to find the functional outcome of non-operatively treated displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures in the adult as compared with the operatively treated patients. The results showed that non-operative management of minimally displaced mid shaft clavicle fracture also had good functional outcome. Keywords: Clavicle fracture and the non-operative treatment.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of oral progesterone and micronized progesterone pessary in reducing the spontaneous preterm births incidence. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial Place and Duration: Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department of Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar from January 2021 to December 2021. Methods: Total 112 pregnant females were presented in this study. Included females were aged between 18-45 years. After taking informed written consent, detailed demographics of enrolled cases included age, BMI, parity and gestational age was recorded. Females were divided in two groups. Group I received oral progesterone in 56 females and group II received micronized progesterone pessary. Post-operative outcomes among both groups were assessed. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze all data. Results: Among 112 cases, 35 (31.3%) had age 18-25 years, 45 (40.2%) females had age 26-35 years and 32 (28.6%) cases had age 36-45 years. 64 (57.1%) patients had BMI <25kg/m2 and 48 (42.9%) cases had BMI >25kg/m2. Mean parity in group I was 2.5±1.23 and in group II parity was 1.72±3.16. Mean gestational age of the patients in group I was 33.16±10.42 weeks and in group II mean gestational age was 34.17±8.23 weeks. Frequency of c-section in both groups were higher as compared to vaginal delivery with p value <0.003. Mean time of prolongation of pregnancy in group I was 18.22±6.33 days and in group II mean time was 30.7±5.47 days. We found that micronized progesterone cyclogest pessary was effective in terms of reducing NICU admissions, maternal systemic complications, preterm C-section, tocolysis use, side effects, intraventricular haemorrhage and perinatal mortality as compared to oral progesterone. Conclusion: Preventive micronized progesterone pessary was found to be more effective than oral progesterone (dydrogesterone) in reducing premature birth among women at high-risk of premature delivery.

Published: April 2023

The most frequent general surgical emergency worldwide is acute appendicitis. Because to its potentially fatal complications, including perforation, it could put patients at danger of death. An appendix that has ruptured frequently results in serious infectious complications as abdominal sepsis, pelvic abscess, and others. Laparoscopic appendectomy for perforated appendicitis raises several questions. In many nations today, laparoscopic treatment of perforated appendicitis is the preferred surgical technique. Aim: This prospective study's objective was to assess the efficacy of laparoscopy in the treatment of complicated appendicitis (perforation). Methods: The study was conducted prospectively during the period from September 2020 to August 2022. The study included 50 individuals who underwent peritoneal lavage after laparoscopic appendicectomy of perforated appendix in the department of Surgery, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. The traditional method, three ports technique was used. Sometimes a fourth port is needed. Telescopic ports are 10 mm in size. The other two ports are 3/5 mm and 5/10 mm, respectively. Unipolar diathermy is a source of energy. Hemostasis and ligation of the appendicular stump are achieved via intra-corporeal knotting, endo-loop, and hemo-clip. Results: The study's age range is 5-70 years, with a mean age of 19 with male predominance. The duration of surgery varies from 30 to 120 minutes, with a mean duration of 65 minutes. Hospital stays range from 48 to 96 hours on average. There were 12 patients with complications, including paralytic ileus was seen in 1(2%), diarrhea in 2(4%), multiple or single (4% and 8%) port infections, and port TB in (4%). Open conversion was seen in 1 (2%) patient due to appendicitis burst haemorrhage. Every complication was treated carefully. Conclusion: Laparoscopy is an excellent method for treating perforated appendicitis. Thus, it is practical, achievable and may be carried out by skilled hands in any centre. That is now regarded as regular operating procedure. Keywords: Laparoscopic appendicectomy, Perforation (burst)

Published: April 2023

Background and Aim: During anesthesia, hypertension is the most common additional risk factor that contributes to higher mortality rate. Antihypertension medicine’s withdrawal might leads to symptoms such as anxiety, rebound hypertension, myocardial infarction, tachyarrhythmia, angina exaggeration, and sudden death. The present study aimed to assess the perioperative management of blood pressure and effects of anesthesia in hypertensive patients undergoing general and orthopedic surgery. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 162 hypertensive patients in the General Surgery and Orthopedics Units of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar for the duration from April 2022 to September 2022. Study protocol was approved by institute ethical committee. Patients aged 16 to 70 years of either gender underwent general surgery and orthopaedic surgery were enrolled. The data was acquired during the anesthetist’s initial visit to the operated hypertensive patients' 24 hour postoperative period. Antihypertensive medications, hemodynamics, anesthesia drugs, fluid use, and blood loss were main variables noted. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were Intraoperative hemodynamics. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 162 hypertensive patients, there were 68 (42%) male and 94 (58%) females. The overall mean age was 58.62±8.4 years. Before surgery, about 119 (73.5%) patients took antihypertensive medication whereas 124 (76.5%) had antihypertensive medication within 24 hours. The most prevalent antihypertensive medication used and most common class during postoperative management was Calcium channel Blockers and Amlodipine. The most prevalent used anesthetic drug use was Bupivacaine. The incidence of Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) fall and rise was found in 28 and 6 patients respectively. The incidence of Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) fall and rise during intraoperative management was 11 and 8 patient respectively. Conclusion: The present study found that a decreased heart rate in patients who were taking beta blockers consistently. Those who took diuretics had greater DBP and HR at the completion of the procedure. There was no significant change in hemodynamic parameters with any other antihypertensive treatment.

Authors: Rossetti Gallardo Josefina , Sepulchre Marie Caroline , Alvarado Cristobal
Published: April 2023

Introducción: hasta la promulgación de la ley 21.375 de cuidados paliativos universales, (fines 2021), estos beneficiaban solo a los pacientes oncológicos. En marzo 2022, se amplió el beneficio a todos los pacientes. El Objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las fortalezas y debilidades en la práctica paliativa en el contexto del comienzo de aplicación de la ley 21.375, desde la visión del personal de salud pública y sus necesidades de formación. Método: estudio cuanti-cualitativo realizado entre agosto-diciembre de 2022, en los cuatro Centros de Atención Primaria de Talcahuano y en la Unidad de Alivio del Dolor y Cuidados Paliativos del Hospital Las Higueras. Se aplicó una encuesta basada en los criterios de calidad paliativa definidos por la Sociedad Española de Cuidados Paliativos y las Orientaciones Técnicas del Ministerio de Salud de Chile y se realizaron grupos focales. Resultados: el personal de salud mostró interés y voluntad de aplicar la nueva ley, pero, requiere de lineamientos más claros que dirijan su práctica y de recursos suficientes en personal, insumos, fármacos y formación en cuidados paliativos. Discusión: hubo una muy buena participación del personal en el estudio; las diferencias entre el Hospital y los Centros de Atención Primaria se deben en gran parte a la experiencia en la labor paliativa. Conclusión: lo detectado en Talcahuano entrega elementos empíricos para que se pueda optimizar la aplicación de la ley 21.375, en términos de gestión clínica y formación del personal.

Mushrooms Ability to Deter Diabetes: A Review
Authors: Khan Saad , Meena Khushbhu
Published: April 2023

For its potential as a supplement to conventional drugs and therapies, mushrooms have been the subject of substantial medical investigation. Many in vitro and in vivo studies using animal and human models have demonstrated that the polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, dietary fibres, peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, micronutrients, and phenolic bioactives present in mushrooms impart a wide range of medical and therapeutic approaches properties. These components, either individually or together, follow complex routes to display biological and functional activity. These higher classes of fungi have a range of medicinal properties, including antioxidant potential, anti-inflammatory action, and anti-aging, as a result of their high fibre and polysaccharide content. Several dietary fibres and saccharides have immunosuppression, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-hyperlipidemic properties. Terpenoids and phenolic compounds in the mushroom are responsible for its protective benefits on the heart, liver, neurons, kidneys, and liver. Among other anti-diabetic mushrooms are Pleurotusostreatus, Ganodermalucidum, Grifolafrondosa, and Lentinusedodes. In addition to reducing cholesterol production and absorption, mushrooms also reduce food consumption, promoting a healthy gastrointestinal system, and promote healthier. We compiled the most recent research on the benefits of consuming edible mushrooms for your health in this article. So, it can be concluded that regularly including mushrooms in your diet may aid in the prevention of diabetes
O reconhecimento do tempo de trabalho infantil para fins de aposentadoria: uma análise da decisão proferida no agravo em Recurso Especial nº 956558/SP do STJ

O presente artigo propõe analisar o reconhecimento do tempo de trabalho infantil para fins de aposentadoria na agricultura familiar: uma análise da decisão proferida no agravo interno do agravo em recurso especial nº 956558/SP do STJ. Desta forma, como problema de pesquisa se coloca a seguinte questão: quais os motivos que fundamentam o reconhecimento do trabalho infantil para fins de reconhecimento dos direitos previdenciários? Nesse sentido, visando responder ao problema de pesquisa proposto utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo, o método de procedimento monográfico e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Como objetivos específicos são elencados três: primeiro, realizar uma síntese obre o regime geral de previdência social; segundo, contextualizar o trabalho infantil no Brasil; e, por fim, analisar a decisão paradigma do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), que permitiu a contabilização do período de tempo do trabalho infantil anterior ao mínimo legal previsto pelo Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social (INSS) que é de 14 anos de idade. Como hipótese indica que apesar de não ser suficiente a fiscalização acerca da proteção de crianças e adolescentes e que se tenha um engajamento maior na sua aplicação para que haja a erradicação do trabalho infantil no meio rural, os órgãos governamentais sabem da existência de trabalho desenvolvido, seja no meio rural ou urbano, por crianças com faixa etária inferior a 14 anos de idade que é o marco temporal reconhecido pelo Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social (INSS), para o período de labor reconhecido na infância.

Published: April 2023

Este artigo aborda o uso da inteligência artificial (IA) como meio de auxiliar o magistrado em suas decisões judiciais e a capacidade desses sistemas em decidir, de modo satisfatório. Como objetivo geral, analisa-se o uso da IA pelo Poder Judiciário, especialmente quanto à possibilidade de sistemas artificiais auxiliarem a atividade do magistrado na prolação de suas decisões. Quanto ao problema de pesquisa, radica no questionamento se no futuro os sistemas de IA poderão substituir o magistrado na elaboração de suas decisões. Como hipótese inicial verifica-se que os sistemas de IA ainda não possuem a capacidade de decidir com equidade ou realizar a técnica da ponderação quando houver colisão de direitos fundamentais. O método utilizado é o hipotético-dedutivo, fundamentado em pesquisa em revisão bibliográfica e artigos científicos. Para tanto, aborda inicialmente o que se entende por IA e a sua contribuição para a atividade do magistrado em proferir suas decisões. Na sequência, analisa a prolação da sentença, o brocardo jurídico “Iuria Novit Curia” e o julgamento de equidade, avaliando a contribuição da IA nestes processos.
TYPOLOGY OF FAMILY TYPE AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Okros Adalbert , Mihut Casiana , Duma-Copcea Anisoara , Mircov Vlad Dragoslav , Popa Daniel
Published: April 2023

This study describes the typology of family agricultural systems from the western part of Romania. Fourteen family agricultural farms from Arad County, Romania, are taken in the study, whose areas range between 0.34 ha and 25 ha, with an average of about 22 ha. The main crops within these farms are grain maize, followed by wheat, oats, sunflower and rapeseed and, on smaller areas, fodder, vegetables and triticale. Because the structure of the crops is very diverse - the largest area is 12.60 ha and the smallest one is 0.07 ha , these agricultural holdings are not financially profitable because they do not allow farmers to practice intensive agriculture: soil works are performed with non-performing machines, a lot of time and fuel are lost with these works, and yield is low, which leads to decreased production and increased costs of establishment, maintenance and harvest. In conclusion, a solution for the efficiency of this agricultural system is an association of farmers and the merging of these lands, taking into account that family farming system is quite common on the territory of Romania.

Ein Handbuch zur deutschen Parteiengeschichte 1861 bis 1933. Überlegungen zu einem jahrzehntealten Forschungsdesiderat
Authors: Kitzing Michael
Published: April 2023

The two handbooks of the history of political parties in Germany between 1789 and 1945 that Dieter Fricke published in Jena in the 1960s through to the 1980s continue to be con- sidered the gold standard for research on this subject . Yet, though Fricke’s handbooks offer a solid basis of facts, they are still characterized by socialist rhetoric and, in addition, are now outdated with respect to methodology . This essay examines the following: Which issues are pertinent today with respect to the political parties of the German Empire and the Weimar Republic? Similar to Fricke’s approach, we continue to ask questions regarding the context of origin, the objectives, the organization, and the short-term political activity of political parties . Yet, above and beyond that, the cultural-historical aspects such as ques- tioning the relationship of the political party to the populace in general as well as the self- staging of the respective political parties are to be discussed . In the same way, a look will be taken at the international interconnectedness of the political parties, just as handbooks today should focus more strongly on the political parties in the member states of the Ger- man Empire . Finally, in addition, the essay discusses how a contribution to political educa- tion can likewise be achieved in connection with the handbook on the history of political parties in Germany .
Home Visitation by Community Health Workers
Authors: Kawaya Hilda
Published: April 2023

Community health workers are faced with challenges in the community during home visits. The re-engineering of primary health care services in South Africa brought a new cadre of community health workers that relieved the extra workload of primary health care nurses of conducting home visits as one of the activities. The findings of the study conducted in the Tshwane District culminated in the challenges of community, logistical, occupational, human resource, and managerial in nature. The CHWs stated the need for respect and acceptance by the community during home visits, improved planning related to delegation of households by Outreach Leaders and provision of material resources, and the support by managers for career development through training and education for various disease prevention. This indicated that the training of community health workers needs to be formalized and in-service education related to home visits should be planned, structured, and supported by the Department of Health.
Basics of Neutron Imaging
Authors: H. Lehmann Eberhard
Published: April 2023

Neutron imaging is established at many neutron sources around the world as a method for noninvasive investigations of samples and object on the macroscopic scale. Similarly to X-ray imaging, it provides the possibility to “look through” materials and allows one to “see” the inner, hidden content. However, owing to the complete different interaction mechanism, neutron imaging provides very different and complementary contrasts compared to X-rays, even if the image quality often is about the same. We report about the method’s principles, describe the state of the art, and give an outlook for new trends and developments.

Published: April 2023

Bu araştırmanın amacı okul yöneticilerinin denetim olgusuna ilişkin görüşlerini metaforlar aracılığıyla ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda araştırma nitel araştırma desenlerinden olan olgubilim (fenomenoloji) deseni ile tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 54 okul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Görüşme formunda “Denetim……………….…………………………………gibidir. Çünkü………………………………..” şeklinde denetim olgusunun benzetildiği metafor ve nedeninin istendiği soru yer almıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda okul yöneticilerinin ürettikleri metaforların yoğun olarak bilimsel denetim kategorisinde yer aldığı görülmüştür. Öte yandan okul yöneticileri tarafından öğretimsel denetim ve sanatsal denetim kategorilerine ilişkin daha az görüş ifade edilmiştir. Buna göre okul yöneticilerinin denetim sürecini tek yönlü, otokratik ve bürokratik bir süreç olarak gördükleri söylenebilir. Bu doğrultuda okul yöneticilerinin bu alglarını değiştirecek denetimin iletişim, etkileşim ve rehberlik boyutlarını daha ön planda tutan uygulamalara yer verilmesi gerektiği önerilebilir.

Негізгі сөздік қор соғыс техникасына қатысты терминдер, сол кезде соғыста қолданылған қару-жарақ атауларынан тұрады. Біз үшін бұл шығарма сол кезеңдегі ауыз екі тілдің қандай болғаны жөнінде мағлұмат беретін тарихи бастау болуымен құнды. Қазақ тілінің тарихи бастау көздерінің бірі ретінде қарауымызға толық негіз бар. Бұл еңбектер түркі тілдерінің типологиялық ерекшеліктері, дыбыстық құрамы, олардың шығу тарихы мен даму эволюциясы, семантикалық табиғатымен, тілдегі қолданылуы жайында зерттеулерімізге негіз болатын шығарма. Түркі тілдеріне тән түбір сөздердің табиғаты жөнінде мәлімет көзі болатын жәдігер. Қазіргі қазақ тілімізде қолданылып жүрген тіл байлығымыздың негізін құрайтын сөздердің байырғы түбірлердің негізгі ұйытқысы, қайнар көзі болып табылатын базистік лексиканың табиғаты туралы сыр шертеді. Халықтың ұзақ тарихи дамуының бірден-бір куәгері, материальдық және рухани байлығының айнасы болып саналатын маңызды шығармалардың бірі. Қазақ тілінің жүріп өткен ұзын тарихи жолы мен қат-қабат сырын ашуға көмектесетін еңбек екендігі мысалдармен беріледі.

Published: April 2023

Multiple fungal pathogens infect economically important fruits, thereby affecting their quality and marketability. Previous research showed that some fungal pathogens that can infect the stems might infect the fruit but show a different symptom. To determine the causal pathogen of a fruit disease of Selenicereus monacanthus (Dragon fruit), we used a combination of fungal pathology characterization and molecular biology techniques. This paper presents the pathogenicity of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum MBDF36C to S. monacanthus resulting in brown rot and canker on fruits and stem, respectively. The paper also demonstrates the in vitro inhibition of N. dimidiatum MBDF36C by chemicals, including a bio-fungicide containing Bacillus subtilis. At seven days post-inoculation, we observed severe browning on N. dimidiatum MBDF36C-inoculated fruits but not on stems. Stems exhibited canker-like symptoms. The same fungus was re-isolated from both inoculated diseased fruits and stems, thereby confirming Koch's postulates. The pathogen was identified as N. dimidiatum based
on its morphology, cultural characteristics, and sequences of the partial ß-tubulin gene. In vitro growth of N. dimidiatum MBDF36C was also completely inhibited by a bio-fungicide containing B. subtilis, isoprothiolane, and mancozeb. This study is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing brown fruit rot of dragon fruit in the Philippines. This information could impact the current postharvest fruit handling operations and future studies on dragon fruit disease management

The Pronunciation Problems among Kurdish Learners of English
Authors: Ghafar Zanyar Nathir , Popescu Doina , Kurt Mustafa
Published: April 2023

The goal of this study was to examine the pronunciation issues of different speakers of English and especially Kurdish speakers, and various perspectives on native vs foreign pronunciations. The research showed that Kurdish speakers had difficulties pronouncing several English vowels and some English consonants. The research results demonstrate that Kurdish English speakers understand the value of pronunciation compared to native and non-native English speakers. Kurdish speakers may hesitate to speak in a manner that seems natural to a native speaker, and their last consonants in words are almost always unaspirated and unvoiced. Given that Kurdish learners of English have difficulty pronouncing some English words, some suggested solutions include providing pronunciation instruction classes to language instructors, having educators speak in English, and giving students examples of native tongue sounds compared and contrasted with the target language sounds. With minimal exposure to cooperation with native speakers and variations in L1's phonological organization compared to English, the difficulty posed by pronunciation is evident. All the updated studies clearly show that these issues affect English speakers in general and rely less and less on their original tongue.
The Phenomenon of Sacrality in the "Liturgical" Symphony of Andrey Eshpay
Authors: Dunaevskaya Alla
Published: April 2023

The focus of this article is the Sixth "Liturgical" Symphony of Andrei Yakovlevich Eshpai, one of the brightest representatives of the national and world musical culture of our time. The composition is considered in the perspective of sacrality, which fully determines its artistic and constructive patterns and dramatic perspective. The scientific novelty of the work is due to the subject of research itself, which was first used in relation to this work. To study the phenomenon of sacrality, it was necessary to use an interdisciplinary approach, which includes methods of system-structural, comparative, semiotic, hermeneutic analysis. Close attention was paid to considering the properties of musical texture as the main indicator of the spatiotemporal organization of musical material. The connotative-denotative properties of the musical syntax turned out to be analytically significant. No less important was the role of intertextual interactions that determine the language mechanisms of the text and reveal the plan of its content. It was established that the phenomenon of sacrality, responding to the aesthetic attitudes of the master, is implemented comprehensively - as a conjugation of philosophical, mythological and spiritual-religious discourses, each of which has its own system of signs. The functioning of sign systems at the syntagmatic and paradigmatic levels of the text lead to linguistic differences in the instrumental and choral sections of the symphony, reveal phenomena of semantic multiplicity, polychronicity, ensuring the end-to-end formation and development of the liturgical idea. As a result of such interactions, the genre space of the symphony is formed, which is a synthetic, universal, communicative concept.
Prefrontal PV interneurons facilitate attention and are linked to attentional dysfunction in a mouse model of absence epilepsy
Authors: Ferguson Brielle , Glick Cameron , Huguenard John R
Published: April 2023

Absence seizures are characterized by brief periods of unconsciousness accompanied by lapses in motor function that can occur hundreds of times throughout the day. Outside of these frequent moments of unconsciousness, approximately a third of people living with the disorder experience treatment-resistant attention impairments. Convergent evidence suggests prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction may underlie attention impairments in affected patients. To examine this, we use a combination of slice physiology, fiber photometry, electrocorticography (ECoG), optogenetics, and behavior in the Scn8a+/-mouse model of absence epilepsy. Attention function was measured using a novel visual attention task where a light cue that varied in duration predicted the location of a food reward. In Scn8a+/-mice, we find altered parvalbumin interneuron (PVIN) output in the medial PFC (mPFC) in vitro and PVIN hypoactivity along with reductions in gamma power during cue presentation in vivo. This was associated with poorer attention performance in Scn8a+/-mice that could be rescued by gamma-frequency optogenetic stimulation of PVINs. This highlights cue-related PVIN activity as an important mechanism for attention and suggests PVINs may represent a therapeutic target for cognitive comorbidities in absence epilepsy.
