Rapports intertextuels et (re)constructions identitaires dans le roman Bois rouge de Jean-Marie Touratier
Authors:   Universitatea din Bucureşti, Stănică Loredana
Published: November 2021

Published in 1993, the novel Bois rouge by Jean-Marie Touratier brings to life the history of the short-lived French colony of Brazil, the Antarctic France, whose existence, reduced to only five years (1555-1560), was described in the travelogues written in the 16th century by André Thevet (Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique - The New Found World, or Antarctike) and Jean de Léry (Histoire d’un voyage faict en la terre du Brésil – History of a Voyage to the Land of Brazil). Beneath the appearance of a simple story told by an ironic voice, sometimes even satirical towards the military leader of the French colony, the Knight of Malta Nicolas Durand de Villegagnon and his chaplain, André Thevet, future cosmographer of the kings of France, the novel delves into issues of great complexity, such as (the issue of) identity and the relationship to the Other (the American “savage”).

Moderate alcohol consumption and depression: A marginal structural model approach promoting causal inference
Authors: Visontay Rachel , Mewton Louise , Slade Tim , Aris Izzuddin M. , Sunderland Matthew
Published: November 2021

Objective: Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with decreased risk for depression, but it remains unclear whether this is a causal relationship or merely a methodological artefact. To compare the effects of consistent abstinence, occasional, moderate, and above-guidelines alcohol consumption throughout early-to-middle adulthood on depression at age 50, the authors conducted a secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort and employed a marginal structural model (MSM) approach. Methods: Baseline was set at 1994, when individuals were aged 29-37. The MSM incorporated measurements of alcohol consumption at 1994, 2002, and 2006, baseline and time-varying covariates, and repeated Centre for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale short form (CES-D-SF) measurements. 5,667 eligible participants provided valid data at baseline, with 3,593 of these providing valid outcome data. The authors used all observed data to predict CES-D-SF means and rates of probable depression for hypothetical trajectories of consistent alcohol consumption. Results: Results resembled J-shaped relationships. Specifically, both consistent occasional and consistent moderate drinkers were predicted to have reduced CES-D-SF scores and probable depression at age 50 compared to consistent abstainers (CES-D-SF scores: b=-0.84, CI= -1.47, -.11; probable depression: OR=0.58, CI=0.36, 0.88 for consistent occasional drinkers vs abstainers; CES-D-SF scores: b=-1.08, CI=-1.88, -.20; probable depression: OR=0.59, CI=0.26, 1.13 for consistent moderate drinkers vs consistent abstainers). Consistent above-guidelines drinkers were predicted to have slightly increased risk compared to consistent abstainers, but this was not significant (b=0.34, CI=-0.62, 1.25; OR=1.06, CI =0.66, 1.72). In sex-stratified analyses, results were similar for females and males. Conclusions: The present study contributes preliminary evidence that associations between moderate alcohol consumption and reduced risk for depression may be genuine causal effects. Further research using diverse methodologies that promote causal inference is required.
Night-to-Night Associations Between Light Exposure and Sleep Health
Authors: Mead Michael , Reid Kathryn , Knutson Kristen
Published: November 2021

Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to light preceding and during sleep is associated with poor sleep, but most research to date has utilized either experimental or cross-sectional designs. The current study expands upon prior studies by using a microlongitudinal design that examines the night-to-night associations between light and sleep health in a diverse sample of adults (pre-registered at osf.io/k5zgv). U.S. adults aged 18 to 87 from two parent studies (N= 124) wore an actiwatch for up to 10 nights. Light variables estimated from actigraphy include both average exposure and time above light threshold of 10 (TALT10) and 40 (TALT40) lux both during sleep and for the 1-hour preceding sleep. Actigraphy-based sleep variables included sleep offset, duration, percentage, and fragmentation index. Higher average light exposure during sleep was associated with a later sleep offset time, lower sleep percentage, and higher fragmentation index (all p <.01). More minutes of TALT10 during sleep was associated with later sleep timing, lower sleep percentage, and higher fragmentation index (all p < .01) and greater TALT40 during sleep was associated with lower sleep percentage. Light exposure was not related to sleep duration. In summary, greater light exposure during sleep was related to poorer sleep continuity and later wake time. The lack of association between light and sleep duration may be the result of compensating for sleep disruption by delaying wake time. Multi-level interventions to consistently reduce light levels during sleep should be considered.

A direct comparison of wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries in measuring sleep in healthy adults.
Authors: Alyobi Zainab , Sherman Susan M
Published: November 2021

Measuring sleep and sleep quality is an important diagnostic and monitoring tool, and a number of different methods for measurement have been developed over the last half-century. Two prevalent methods include wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries. Both methods can be applied in different circumstances, but both have strengths and weaknesses. This study aimed to identify the extent to which there is congruence in the scores achieved by each method of sleep measurement. Sixty-eight respondents were asked to wear a wrist actigraphy and complete a sleep diary over the course of five days. There was a significant difference between the mean scores achieved using each measurement method, with actigraphy scores indicating lower total sleep time (TST) than diaries. However, this difference was not consistently present when the scores were compared on a day by day basis. Participant adherence is likely to fluctuate over the course of a sleep study and may undermine the accuracy of sleep diaries.

Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE: Social interactions are vital for our wellbeing, particularly during times of stress. However, previous studies linking social interactions to psychological outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic have largely been retrospective and/or cross-sectional. Thus, we tested four preregistered hypotheses (H1-H4) concerning the real-time effect of social interactions on momentary changes in stress and mood during two COVID-19 lockdowns. DESIGN: We used an ecological momentary assessment approach in 732 participants in spring 2020 and in a subsample of these participants (n= 281) during a further lockdown in autumn/winter 2020. METHODS: Participants reported their stress and mood in a smartphone app five times per day for seven days and indicated the nature and frequency of their recent social interactions. RESULTS: Social interactions (H1) and their frequency (H2) improved momentary affect. This was particularly the case for face-to-face interactions which, compared to other types of interactions, reduced momentary stress and boosted mood across both lockdowns, even when controlling for the pleasantness of the interaction and the closeness of the interaction partner (H3). We also show that individual differences in people’s responsiveness to different social rewards modulated the impact of social interactions on momentary mood (H4). CONCLUSIONS: This study extends findings from cross-sectional and retrospective studies by highlighting the real-time affective benefits of social interactions during COVID-19 lockdown. The results have important implications for the (self-) management of stress and mood during psychologically demanding periods.
The Culturally and Contextually Sensitive Assessment of Mental Health using a Structured Diagnostic Interview (MINI Kid) for Syrian Refugee Children and Adolescents in Lebanon: Challenges and Solutions

Published: November 2021

Elevated rates of mental health difficulties are frequently reported in conflict-affected and displaced populations. Even with advances in improving the validity and reliability of measures, our knowledge of the performance of assessment tools is often limited by a lack of contextualization to specific populations and socio-political settings. This reflective paper aimed to review challenges and share lessons learned from the process of administration and supervision of a structured clinical interview, the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI Kid) and the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) severity scale, with N=119 Syrian refugee children (aged 8-17) resident in informal tented settlements in Lebanon. Qualitative data was derived from supervision process notes on challenges that arose during assessments, analyzed for thematic content. Five themes were identified: 1) practical and logistical challenges (changeable nature of daily life, competing demands, access to phones, temporary locations, limited referral options); 2) validity (lack of privacy, trust, perceptions of mental health, stigma, false positive answers); 3) cultural norms and meaning (impact of different meanings on answers); 4) contextual norms (reactive and adaptive emotional and behavioral responses to contextual stress); and 5) co-morbidity and formulation (interconnected and complex presentations). The findings suggest that while structured assessments have major advantages, cultural and contextual sensitivity during assessments, addressing practical barriers to improve accessibility, and consideration for inter-connected formulations is essential to help inform prevalence rates, treatment plans, and public health strategies.
Revisiting the Effect of Team Passion Displayed During National Anthems on Subsequent Success: A Replication and Extension
Authors: Manley Harry , Savejnarong Trin , Pornsukjantra Pattramon , Bundit Minnie , Sasipongsakorn Naravut
Published: November 2021

Slater, Haslam & Steffens (2018) found that the perceived level of team passion displayed during (pre-match) national anthems at UEFA Euro 2016 predicted team performance during the match. Teams that displayed greater passion conceded fewer goals and team passion predicted the likelihood of victory during the knockout (but not group) stages. Here, we replicate Slater et al. using a larger sample of matches from the FIFA World Cup (n = 415), and apply more appropriate analyses, and control for potential confounds. We also extend the original study to consider additional performance-related outcome variables (fouls, bookings, and possession). We found no empirical support for the effect of passion on performance outcomes. Supplementary materials, raw data and analysis files are available on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/q2urw).
Interactive app-based services: Recovery evaluations and the mediating role of satisfaction in the relationship between customer-brand engagement and electronic word of mouth
Authors: B. Radhakrishna , Mohanty Pankaj Kumar , Acharya Anitha , Gupta Manish
Published: November 2021

Based on the theory of co-creation and resource-based theory, this study examines the differential impact of varying levels of customer participation in service recovery (firm, customer, and joint) on recovery satisfaction, customer-brand engagement (CBE), and electronic-word of mouth (e-WoM). Besides, using social exchange theory, this study examines the mediating role of consumers’ recovery satisfaction in the relationship between the types of service recovery and electronic word of mouth (e-WoM). The data to accomplish the research objectives was collected from 495 customers of interactive food delivery apps in India. The experimental design was used to collect the data. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and PROCESS macro techniques were used to test the hypotheses. The findings suggest that joint recovery results in better recovery evaluations such as CBE, recovery satisfaction, and e-WoM. Also, recovery satisfaction mediated the relationship between CBE and e-WoM. These findings provide empirical evidence for the linkages among the theory of co-creation, resource-based theory, and social exchange theory. The marketers of interactive food delivery apps may use these findings to ascertain which recovery type they should emphasize to improve recovery satisfaction. Moreover, they are encouraged to take steps for improving recovery satisfaction as CBE affects e-WoM through recovery satisfaction.
Authentic Conversations About Self-Care with Fourth-Year Veterinary Medical Students
Authors: Drake Adryanna S. , Hafen McArthur , Davis Elizabeth G. , Rush Bonnie R.
Published: November 2021

Expanding literature on well-being within veterinary medicine has been instrumental in recognizing the prevalence of psychological distress among students and practitioners, promoting awareness and advocacy for well-being within teaching institutions, professional associations, and the workplace. However, greater focus on distress has also been critiqued for overemphasizing illness and reactive interventions, and a call has been made for more balanced conversations about veterinary well-being, with focus on strengths and proactive interventions. This best-practices article highlights a proactive, strengths-focused intervention, aimed at increasing fourth-year students’ awareness of self-care while in training and in their transition to the profession. Authentic conversations about self-care is a required part of clinical training at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. All students attend a private meeting with a behavioral scientist, engaging in an authentic conversation about their experience of stress and coping strategies. Current practices in providing stress management interventions are restricted to pre-clinical training. Authentic conversations about self-care are presented here as an alternative to current practices, which the authors argue are not adequately addressing students’ needs during clinical training and the transition to the profession. Potential implications of providing self-care interventions during the clinical year of training include greater student engagement, increasing awareness, and self-efficacy as students make efforts to maintain well-being both in training and in the professional realm.
The death of law? Computationally personalized norms and the rule of law
Authors: Endicott Timothy , Yeung Karen
Published: November 2021

The emergent power of big data analytics makes it possible to replace impersonal general legal rules with personalized, particular norms. We consider arguments that such a move would be generally beneficial, replacing crude, general laws with more efficiently targeted ways of meeting public policy goals and satisfying personal preferences. Those proposals pose a radical, new challenge to the rule of law. Data-driven legal personalization offers some benefits that are worth pursuing, but we argue that the benefits can only legitimately be pursued where doing so is consistent with the agency that the law ought to accord to individuals and with the agency that the law ought to accord to public bodies. The principle of public agency is a prerequisite for the rule of law. The principle of private agency depends on the rule of law. Each is incompatible with the unrestrained computational personalization of law.
Analysis of Modern Systems of Announcement Before Baptism in the Russian Orthodox Church
Authors: Крикота Михаил Васильевич
Published: November 2021

В данной статье рассматриваются огласительные системы катехизации перед Крещением. По рекомендации современных катехизаторов следует разделять курс предкрещального оглашения на несколько бесед, в рамках которых нужно обучить оглашаемых основам христианского вероучения. Несмотря на то, что методики и подходы к оглашению у каждого катехизатора разные, все они, однако, отмечают, что в обязательном порядке проходящие катехизацию должны ознакомиться с главными событиями Ветхого Завета и Нового Завета, заповедями, содержанием церковных таинств и основными дисциплинарными нормами жизнедеятельности христианина. Большое внимание авторы катехизационных систем уделяют выяснению истинных причин Крещения оглашаемого, а также призывают строить общение с аудиторией в форме диалога. Знакомство с самыми примечательными практиками оглашения наших дней позволило определить, что самой полной и подходящей к современным условиям церковной жизни являются системы оглашения, рекомендуемые Синодальным отделом по религиозному образованию и катехизации, поскольку они предлагают вариативность в структуре огласительного процесса, а также насыщены широкой материальной базой.

On the recommendation of modern catechists should be divided into a course of pre-baptismal announcement of several conversations, in which you need to teach the basics of the Christian faith announced. Despite the fact that the methods and approaches to the announcement of each catechist are different, all of them, however, note that it is mandatory for the catechists to become familiar with the main events of the old Testament and the New Testament, the commandments, the content of Church Sacraments and the basic disciplinary norms of Christian life. Much attention is paid to the authors of catechetical systems to clarify the true causes of the Baptism of the public, as well as call to build communication with the audience in the form of dialogue. Familiarity with the most remarkable practices of the announcement of our days made it possible to determine that the most complete and suitable to the modern conditions of Church life are the systems of the announcement proposed by the Synodal Department for religious education and catechization, as they offer variability in the structure of the announcement process, as well as a wide material base.

Authors: Ишков Алексей
Published: November 2021

В статье рассмотрены литургические методы миссии Церкви, а также роль и значение церковного образа-символа как основы иконического метода. В качестве примера приводится современное воспроизведение «иерусалимского образа» в храме Покрова Божией Матери в Ясеневе (проект «Икона Святой Земли»). Практические виды просветительской деятельности, основанные на иконическом методе миссии и реализуемые на приходе, описаны во второй части статьи.

The article describes the emergence of hierarchical awards for the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church. In this publication, considerable attention is paid to the process of establishing the main liturgical awards in the Synodal period. In addition, it is determined that initially hierarchical differences were not considered literally awards and the erection of a certain rank or the assignment of a special part of the liturgical vestments to the cleric was accompanied by his appointment to a responsible position. The author examines in detail the ways of awarding the clergy with the first established awards and focuses on the important semantic characteristics of each award.

Ісламський театр те’зіє: шлях до Європи
Authors: Альхаджрі Халіфа
Published: November 2021

Мета дослідження – простежити джерела, еволюцію та сучасні кроскультурні трансформації ісламського театру те’зіє. У статті комплексно простежено шлях традиційного ісламського театру те’зіє як особливого жанру від часу його зародження в VII столітті як складової мусульманської обрядової культури до нинішніх європейських театральних практик. Методологія дослідження переважно базується на історико- аналітичному та компаративістсько-мистецтвознавчому підходах, що передбачає культурно-антропологічне вивчення еволюції арабського театру, зокрема шляхів становлення та розвитку ісламського театру те’зіє. Наукова новизна. У результаті здійсненого історико-мистецтвознавчого дослідження вперше було комплексно й аргументовано, із залученням різновекторного фактологічного матеріалу простежено еволюцію ісламського театру те’зіє від джерел (як складову ісламського культового обряду) до нинішніх форм (як складову європейської театральної культури). Висновки. Незважаючи на застереження сунітів, феномен те’зіє залишається єдиним первісним театральним жанром, який можна впевнено розглядати як глибоко ісламський, так і надзвичайно драматичний. Однак це самобутня трагічна драма, яку, на думку багатьох, неможливо представити поза її безпосереднім культурним контекстом без сильного спотворення її значення, яке цілісно сприймається виключно шиїтським громадам Близького Сходу. Навіть у цьому контексті те’зіє та пов’язані з нею ритуали трауру залишаються суперечливими серед духовенства. Чи можна таке явище представити не шиїтській аудиторії? Чи може це подолати культурний розрив і знайти розуміння на Заході? Здається, може, хоча і не без певної втрати релігійного значення. Мохаммад Гаффарі та Аббас Кіаростамі показали шлях, хоча їх робота викликала багато критики. Те’зіє слід розглядати як культурний ресурс, що має велику цінність, до якого слід ставитися з найбільшою повагою, але не обмежуючись ідеологією, лише вузьким тлумаченням її значення.

Використано загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи наукового пізнання, зокрема аналізу, синтезу та узагальнення для формулювання висновків. Комплексне використання методологічного інструментарію мистецтвознавчого, соціально-психологічного і системного підходів дало змогу розглянути професію і особистість шоумена як цілісну систему, яка постійно трансформується й адаптується до соціокультурних запитів сьогодення та глядачів. Наукова новизна. Здійснено спробу систематизації основних особистісних якостей, рис характеру, вмінь і навичок, що формують низку вимог до професії та постаті сучасного шоумена. Висновки. Шоумен – це витівник, масовик, артист, ведучий, організатор шоу та часто одночасно організатор і керівник шоу-бізнесу. Вроджений талант, особистісні якості, риси характеру та різнобічні професійні вміння і навички визначають пріоритетні вимоги до постаті та діяльності шоумена. Так у сценічному образі шоумена органічно переплітаються візуальні, індивідуально-психологічні, вербальні, подієві, комунікативні, соціальні, професійні й особистісні складові, які роблять мистецтво шоумена найбільш наближеним до реальності та відповідних запитів сучасності, зокрема мінливих потреб та інтересів глядачів. Однією з основних характеристик успішного шоумена є харизма як своєрідне мистецтво і талант, що визначає враження від шоумена в очах глядачів, яке часто тісно пов’язане з його зовнішністю, комунікативними якостями.

Published: November 2021

У статті подано стислий огляд головних золоторудних об’єктів України та закцентовано увагу на Солонянському рудному полі (СРП), яке розташоване у Середньопридніпровській субпровінції Українського щита (УЩ). На сьогодні в Україні відкрито 10 родовищ і понад 200 перспективних рудопроявів золота в межах металогенічних провінцій: Карпатсько-Кримської, Дніпровсько-Донецької та УЩ. Найбагатшою золотоносною провінцією є УЩ, ресурси якого оцінюються в не менш як 2400 т благородного металу. З них близько 1000 т зосереджені в межах СРП, де компактно розміщені золото-молібденові родовища Сергіївське та Балка Золота, а також рудопрояви золота Аполлонівський, Східноаполлонівський, Новий, Тетянин, Дорожній, Розрахунковий, Центральний, Сонячний. З огляду на сукупність сприятливих геолого-економічних умов, як-от значні ресурси благородного металу, проста геологічна будова, чіткий контроль та особливості локалізації зруденіння, вигідне географо-економічне положення тощо, СРП має реальні передумови для початку промислового видобутку золота в близькій перспективі. У межах рудного поля першочерговим об’єктом для розробки вважається Сергіївське родовище.
Comparison of the effect of the intracameral lidocaine anesthesia and subconjunctival lidocaine anesthesia on the development of intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome in cataract surgery
Authors: ŞAHİN Tayfun , KOCAMİS Sucattin
Published: November 2021

Aim: To evaluate the effect of intracameral lidocaine anesthesia (ILA) and subconjunctival lidocaine anesthesia (SLA) administered during cataract surgery on the development and prevalence of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS).

Material and Method: The study involved the medical records of 86 cataract patients having no risk factors other than small pupil size for IFIS whom ILA and/or SLA were applied during phacoemulsification surgery. While 45 patients were administered intracameral lidocaine anesthesia ILA (1%), 41 patients in the other group were administered subconjunctival lidocaine anesthesia (SLA) (2%). Floppy iris syndrome findings such as iris billowing, iris incarceration in the wound site, or progressive myosis, if any, were recorded. The groups were compared in terms of the prevalence of IFIS development.

Results: While IFIS ratio was 33.7% in the ILA group, it was 17.1% in the SLA group (p=0.084). Patients with smaller pupil diameter observed a higher IFIS rate ( when pupil diameter threshold value was 6.5 mm p=0.011 and 6 mm p=0.009).

Conclusion: During cataract surgery, surgeons should care for the development of IFIS in patients with small pupil diameters. However, the effect of intracameral lidocaine use on the development of IFIS has not been determined.
Investigation of the effect of watercress via nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 pathway on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced oxidative damage in rat liver

Published: November 2021

Aim: Nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) regulates many cytoprotective antioxidants, and detoxifying enzymes, has been a hopeful approach for chemoprevention of cancer. We researched the chemopreventive impact of watercress on the DMBA-induced oxidative damage in the rat liver via the Nrf2/ARE signalling pathway in the present study.

Material and Method: Female Wistar albino rats have categorized into three groups. The control was the first group, rats in the second and third groups were administered 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) (20 mg/kg b.w., i.p.) and rats in the third group were given daily doses of watercress (250 mg/kg b.w. Nasturtium officinale R.Br. for 4 weeks by oral gavage). Antioxidant and phase II detoxification enzyme activities, Nrf2 transcription factor level in liver, and serum ALT were determined. Also, histopathological analysis of the liver was performed.

Results: We observed that watercress induces DNA-binding of Nrf2. It was related to increased enzyme activities of phase II detoxifying and the antioxidant. Our results also demonstrated that watercress ameliorated liver injury.

Conclusion: Our data ensured considerable evidence that the dietary watercress ameliorates DMBA induced liver toxicity via regulating the activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway which increases the expression of cytoprotective enzymes.

Aim: The aim of our study; to investigate the location of hypertrophy in the epidural adipose tissue in the lumbar spinal stenosis clinic, to compare the area measurements of the spinal canal and dural sac in patients with a preliminary diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis or radiculopathy, and to determine the place of the superior articular process area measurement in the diagnosis of spinal stenosis.

Material and Method: 180 patients aged 50-69 years who underwent Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging were divided into two groups according to the prediagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis or radiculopathy and retrospectively analyzed. Spinal canal, dural sac, epidural fat, and superior articular process areas were measured. Statistical relationships of the findings were investigated.

Results: There was no difference between the stenosis groups of these patients in terms of age and gender (respectively p=0.078; p=0.564). There is a significant difference in terms of the spinal canal, dural sac, superior articular process, and epidural fat widths between spinal stenosis and radiculopathy (p

Introduction: COVID-19 has spread all over the world and caused significant changes in healthcare practices. This is why many expert associations have published new guidelines on COVID-19 management. This study aims to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic has an effect on Inguinal hernia (IH) emergencies.

Material and Method: A total of 63 patients diagnosed with strangulated/incarcerated inguinal hernia who presented to the emergency surgery department of our hospital between April 2020 and January 2021 during the pandemic (DP) and between April 2019 and January 2020 before the pandemic (BP) were retrospectively analyzed and compared.

Results:There was no statistically significant difference between both groups in terms of demographic characteristics. The comparison of the number of admissions, admission time, anesthesia type, hospital stay, postoperative complications, ASA score, hernia, WBC, and CRP averages showed no statistically significant difference between the groups. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of distributions of hernia types, hernia repair types, mesh use, and additional resection requirement. The comparison of the patients who underwent organ resection by admission time in both groups showed no statistically significant difference. It was observed that the number of patients who required small bowel resection were especially high on the 4th day. In DP, small bowel resection was performed on 4 (66.7%) patients and omentectomy was performed in 2 (33.3%) patients. In BP, only one right hemicolectomy was performed. The comparison of the patients with an admission time of 4th day revealed a statistically significant difference (p=0.03).

Conclusion: We observed that morbidity increased as the admission time was delayed. Anticipating that the fear of COVID-19 infection will hold back the emergency response during the pandemic period, patients should be informed not to delay early diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: There is a relationship between ABO blood groups, which are part of the genetic phenotype, and various psychiatric diseases. Our primer aim in this study is to examine the relationship between ABO blood groups and preoperative anxiety (POA) levels in patients undergoing elective cesarean section. The secondary aim is to determine the relationship between POA levels and birth outcomes in pregnant women. Material and Method: A total of 132 patients with different ABO blood groups who were scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia between August 2020 and July 2021 at the Medical Faculty Hospital were included in this prospective observational study. State Anxiety Inventory scores (SAI) were used to assess preoperative anxiety in groups A, B, AB, and O. Birth outcomes (fetal birth weight, birth sex and APGAR scores at the 1st and 5th minutes) were recorded. Results: There were 55 people (41.7%) in the A blood group, 43 people (32.6%) in the O blood group, 25 people (18.9%) in the B blood group, 9 people (6.8%) in the AB blood group. A total of 73/132 (55.3%) patients with SAI score >40 were identified. There was no significant difference in mean SAI scores in A, B, AB and O blood groups (p=0.531). Fetal birth weight was found to be lower in patients with high SAI scores (p=0.044). Conclusion: There was no relationship between ABO blood groups and preoperative anxiety and birth outcomes in elective cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia, but low fetal birth weight was found in pregnant women with high anxiety. More studies with larger sample sizes in the future are needed to confirm the results of our study.

With respect to population growth, there will inevitably be an increasing need for improvements in technology, which has led to greater energy efficiency, higher labour efficiency, continuous production methods and operating flexibility; in addition to these factors, mechanisation has also advanced rapidly. It has been also been reported that the introduction of louder machines with the process of industrialisation has made noise a major occupational and environmental hazard. Against this backdrop, a study has been conducted to assess the impact of occupational noise, if any, on the hearing status of human resources occupationally engaged in the industry. A total of 57 male volunteers, aged between 25 and 39 years, working at least for a period of 5 years, constituted the exposed group. A total of 36 individuals of comparable age working in administrative office constituted the control group. Hearing impairment was calculated at speech frequency, up to 4 kHz and up to 6 kHz. The degree of hearing impairment was also calculated. From the present study, it may be concluded that the hearing ability of the human resources, engaged in different sections of the industry, is significantly impaired compared to their age matched counterparts.

Published: November 2021

Lead (Pb) is one of the contaminants found in polluted air, especially in the area with dense traffic. Herbaceous plants are potentially used to reduce the Pb content in the polluted air. This study was designed to evaluate the potential of several plants, such as Jatropha integerrima, Duranta erecta and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, as Pb absorbents from polluted air based on Pb accumulation and chlorophyll levels. The lead content was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), while the chlorophyll content was tested using spectrophotometers at wavelengths of 649 nm and 665 nm. Results showed that the three plant species had potential as Pb absorbents from the air. The highest lead content was found from J. integerrima at 1.293 mg/kg, followed by H. rosa-sinensis at 1.232 mg/kg and D. erecta at 0.840 mg/kg. On the other hand, the highest level of leaf chlorophyll content was H. rosa-sinensis at 16.116 mg/kg, followed by D. erecta L. at 12.594 mg/kg and J. integerrima Jacq. of 10.297 mg/kg. No correlation was found between the Pb level and chlorophyll content of the three plants. It can be concluded that the three herbaceous plants have potential as Pb absorbents in the polluted air.

The transmission of viral hepatitis type B (HBV) is of significant public health concern. The infection result depends on how well the virus interacts with the host and in particular, on the ability to respond inherently and adaptively to the humoral and cellular immunity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical, immunology and tracer status (viral). This study showed the relationship between the immune and chronic conditions of Iraqi patients who are chronic hepatitis virus B or HBV carriers. The study included (111) chronically-viral hepatitis type (b) and (112) hepatitis virus surface antigen type (b) healthy carriers from out of patients. The result of this study proved that a non-significant correlation was observed between cellular immune response (CD4 and CD8) among chronic hepatitis B patients. For CD8+ lymphocytes: there was a highly significant decrease (P<0.001) in the percentage means of the CD8+ cells in CHB patients, as compared with the carrier groups. For CD4+ lymphocytes: there was a slight decrease in the percentage of these lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the patients, as compared with the carrier groups, a non-significant importance was recorded between them. The percentage of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte CD8+ was significantly decreased in CHB patients as compared to the carrier group. One of the deciding factors for the form of infection, and the immune response, which developed in accordance with a number of other biochemical factors and genes is chronic hepatitis B immunopathogénesis and carrier condition with the level of cellular immunity.
GUM: The generalized upper model
Authors: Bateman John A.
Published: November 2021

GUM is a linguistically-motivated ontology originally developed to support natural language processing systems by offering a level of representation intermediate between linguistic forms and domain knowledge. Whereas modeling decisions for individual domains may need to be responsive to domain-specific criteria, a linguistically-motivated ontology offers a characterization that generalizes across domains because its design criteria are derived independently both of domain and of application. With respect to this mediating role, the use of GUM resembles (and partially predates) the adoption of upper ontologies as tools for mediating across domains and for supporting domain modeling. This paper briefly introduces the ontology, setting out its origins, design principles and applications. The example cases for this special issue are then described, illustrating particularly some of the principal differences and similarities of GUM to non-linguistically motivated upper ontologies.

Using guideline-based clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) has improved clinical practice, especially during multidisciplinary tumour boards (MTBs) in cancer patient management. However, MTBs have been reported to be overcrowded, with limited time to discuss all cases. Complex breast cancer cases that need further MTB discussions should have priority in the organization of MTBs. In order to optimize MTB workflow, we attempted to predict complex cases defined as non-compliant cases despite the use of the decision support system OncoDoc. After previously obtaining insufficient performance with machine learning algorithms, we tested Multi Layer Perceptron for classification, compared various samplers to compensate data imbalance combined with cross- validation, and optimized all models with hyperparameter tuning and feature selection with no improvement and lacklustre results (F1-score: 31.4%).
