for axe head production in Bartonian (Eocene) silicite close to the mining complex of Jablines. They are attributed by the associated set of tools and the archaeological background to the later part of the Paris Basin Middle Neolithic (c. 4300–3700 BCE). The main characteristics of the knapping places are bifacial shaping to produce axe head preforms. Petrographical analyses show at first examination a close relation to the same silicite beds as those exploited at Jablines. Beside this, some of the artefacts indicate another way of raw material gathering which could match with the Bartonian silicite procurement on a larger scale. The workshop places may be distinguished as places of different function, mostly devoted to the first steps of preparation (roughing and shaping processes), but another to shaping stages, and a last one essentially concerned with the finishing of manufacturing rough-outs. Considering the very rare fragments of preforms collected on the site and the high quality of the rejected waste products, the skill level was high. From the first flaking of the block, contrary to what is usually inferred, indirect percussion was used since the first flaking of the block. These workshops add to the information from the other known similar places in this region of the Marne area, including the mining complex of Jablines itself. There were no settlements next to the mines, but in the surrounding areas, and the related distance remains to be explained.
Non-invasive Investigation of Segment C of the Krzemionki Exploitation Field. Initial Research Results
Authors: Jedynak Artur , Wroniecki Piotr
Published: November 2022

Non-invasive research has been undertaken in the southern arm of the archaeological area of the Krzemionki exploitation field, which is one of the least excavated of its regions. Geophysical prospection covered an area of 3.5 ha, and in addition, an area of more than 5 ha was examined by surface collection. The image of the underground structures was obtained thanks to a comprehensive comparison of the results of magnetic, earth resistance and GPR measurements, as well as the distribution of archaeological finds on the ground surface. The study was supplemented with data obtained from the analysis of archival aerial photos and Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) derivatives. On the basis of these complementary data, it was possible to create a general image of the distribution of archaeological sources in the study area. When trying to determine the potential range of the exploitation field, the most legible results were obtained from earth resistance survey and magnetic gradiometry methods. In the most fully explored fragment of the area, anomalies suggesting the presence of prehistoric mining facilities are located in a strip 40–60 m wide, running in the NW-SE direction. Surface studies showed the presence of anthropogenic limestone debris in a zone of similar width (50–75 m) and the direction of its course, while the spread of flint and erratic stone finds turned out to be even greater (a belt 70–90 m wide). Geophysical surveys indicate the possibility of the existence of flint workshops and settlement facilities around the mining field. This can be confirmed in future by further systematic studies of its surroundings.
Overraskelser kommer sjelden alene. Om misforståelser, myter og invasjonen av Ukraina
Authors: Knutsen Torbjørn
Published: November 2022

Russlands invasjon av Ukraina kom som julekvelden på kjerringa. Blant hovedårsakene til mange observatørers måpende overraskelse var inngrodde forestillinger, faste forventninger og vante antagelser om interstatlige forhold. Mange av disse har lenge vært vedlikeholdt av en såkalt nyrealistisk tilnærming til internasjonal politikk. Denne artikkelen begynner med å identifisere nyrealismens betydelige blindsoner. Den belyser deretter et sentralt tema som nyrealismen systematisk overser: hvordan særegne styreformer og tankesett internt i stater som Russland og Ukraina har utviklet seg etter den kalde krigens slutt. Russlands særegne styreform – her betegnet som Putins nypatrimoniale regimetype – har formet den russiske beslutningen om å invadere Ukraina. Denne styreformen har også vært en årsak til overraskelser på russisk side: ikke minst Putin-regimets feilvurdringer om ukrainernes motstand, Vestens bistand og krigens generelle gang. Artikkelen avslutter med å drøfte forskjellige former for feilvurderinger. Den spekulerer også om hvorfor amerikanernes vurderinger var gode i forkant av krigen, mens land som Tyskland og Frankrike, som hadde samme empiri som USA, var uenige med amerikanerne og vurderte Putins intensjoner annerledes.
Abstract in EnglishSurprises Rarely Come Alone. On Misunderstandings, Myths and the Invasion of UkraineRussia’s invasion of Ukraine was a bolt from the blue. Among the chief reasons for the surprise were simplistic preconceptions – entrenched beliefs and routine views that upheld easy assumptions about the behaviour of sovereign states. Some of those preconceptions have been cultivated by the so-called neorealist approach to international relations. This article begins by identifying significant blind spots in the neorealist approach. It proceeds by exploring phenomena that neorealism overlooks, such as systems of governance and thought. It argues that Russia’s peculiar system of governance – here referred to as Putin’s neo-patrimonial regime – exercised a formative influence on the foreign policy views of Russian decisionmakers and their decision to invade Ukraine. The article then refines the notion of surprise, showing surprises were unevenly distributed in the international system. It discusses how Russia was taken aback by Ukraine’s resistance and by its own military failures. And it argues that the leading powers of the EU were shocked by the Russian invasion, whereas the Atlantic powers were not. In fact, the Biden administration had long warned its NATO allies about the likelihood of invasion. Why were these warnings not heeded by countries like Germany and France? The article concludes with some speculation on the strengths of US intelligence and on the sources of intelligence failure in Germany and France.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this study is to identify higher order thinking skills (HOTS) among Malay language (ML) teachers through a lesson study. Two aspects were explored in order to answer the research questions, namely the nurturing of HOTS and the teaching attitude towards the implementation of the lesson study at school. Qualitative research is the research design used by the researchers. A total of seven ML teachers acting as participants in the research. Information is obtained through triangulation methods which cover interviews, observations and analysis of documents. The data interviews were analysed and transcribed verbatimally with study participants. The findings showed that there is a deepening of teacher’s HOTS through a variety of student learning activities during teaching. The participants in the study were positive and prepared for study of the lesson. Study lessons would be more effective if the workload of the teacher is decreased. Meeting time between teaching staff involved in the study of lessons should be included in the teaching schedule. The findings of this study are therefore important to consider the development of HOTS, which can be used by all teachers in teaching to make learning more relevant to 21st century learning.

Published: November 2022

Education in 21st century emphasizes the way of thinking HOTS (high Order Thinking Skill) to improve individual ability to survive in the face of global competition. HOTS learning is comprehensively tested in OSN (National Science Olympiad). Geography learning that is currently applied in Padang City does not fully have components that support 21st Century Education trends. The objective of this study is to identify material gaps tested in OSN with geography learning material in senior high schools of Padang City. The study was carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach, by analyzing the relationship between Geography syllabus content in OSN and geography learning content which applied in senior high schools of Padang City. The findings after the identification process are used as a basis to develop OSN-based learning supplements. The results of the study show that 29% of the class X geography content tested on OSN has not been included in learning content which has been applied in schools, especially physical geography. Practicum activities that should support cognitive aspects have not been well described in geographic content. Learning supplements have been compiled and focused on physical geography content, especially geomorphology and oceanography. Practicum modules are also to instill HOTS thinking and improve student skills that are useful in the era of intense utilization of geographic information systems. The expertise built through the modules that have been compiled includes mapping capabilities; investigative ability; and the ability to read, analyze, and interpret graphic data.

Published: November 2022

Argumentation has been widely discussed in science education for many years. Argumentation is a part of science, to make a statement and claim, justifying the claim, and supporting it with the data. Science education need to be integrated with scientific argumentation empowerment. LS-PBL can be one way to empower argumentation skills. The aims of this study is to determing prospective biology teachers’ science argumentation skill through Lesson Study-Problem based Learning (LS-PBL). This research was conducted on 30 prospective biology teachers at Biology Department Universitas Negeri Malang. Research participants are prospective biology teachers who are taking Plant Physiology course during their 3rd semester. The learning implementation was carried out in a blended learning. Lesson study activities carried out consist of three activities, namely, plan, do, and see. The instruments used are essay tests of scientific argumentation skills, chapter design, lesson design, lesson plans, and worksheets. Data analysis used quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed the average value of the argumentation obtained in the first week was 45.33 (moderate), the second week was 50.00 (moderate), and the third week was 56.00 (moderate). The percentage of the frequency of each level of scientific argumentation decreased with each test at levels 1 and 2, while levels 3 and 4 increased. However, there is no level 5 argumentation found in tests 1, 2, and 3. An increase in argumentation skills can occur due to the application of PBL which is integrated with LS. The PBL learning model accommodates prospective biology teachers to construct their arguments, while lesson study is useful for improving the learning process so that learning activities increase from week to week and what is lacking can be improved. LS-PBL can be used as a professional tool to improve the learning process and empower argumentation skills.

Authors:   HoD In-Charge cum Assistant Professor, Department of Community Health Nursing, Popular College of Nursing, Varanasi, India, Rafi Mohammed
Published: November 2022

The researcher conducted a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the structured teaching programme on COVID-19 among 110 randomly selected paramedical students of Popular Institute of Medical Foundation, Varanasi, India with the study objectives to assess the knowledge on COVID-19, associate the demographic variable with the knowledge on COVID-19, and compare the pre-test and post-test values. The level of knowledge about COVID-19 was gathered using a standardised Da-In Park tool. After arranging and analysing the data, the results of the pre-test showed that 43.63% of the samples did not have sufficient knowledge, 56.36% had moderate knowledge and no sample had good knowledge. The researchers examined the values after the COVID-19 structured curriculum test, which showed that the structured curriculum had a positive effect on improving participants’ knowledge of COVID-19 (t value was 14.07 with a p value of 0.001) and the result was significant at p < 0.5. The study deduces that though the country has been through a lot of changes and methods in imparting health educational knowledge on COVID-19 from the first hit of COVID infection in India, still there is a great amount of lag among the people, even healthcare professional students, on knowledge related to COVID-19. The study clearly shows us that improvement in education through all media and social media might have a great impact on improving knowledge.

Authors:   State Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Parimahal, Kasumpti, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India, Kaur Harsharan
Published: November 2022

Background: Diabetes Mellitus refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that depicts hyperglycemia. As per WHO, the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The global prevalence of diabetes among adults over 18 years of age rose from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. Simple screening can help detect diabetes early and save lives. Many studies have found decreased phase angle among diabetics than controls but since age and BMI can be the confounders, there are few studies to match these parameters to draw the right conclusions. The objective of study was to do a matched comparison of the body composition (Body Fat%, Lean Body Mass and Total Body Water, Intracellular and Extracellular Water %) and biochemical investigations of Diabetics and Non-Diabetic Controls. Methods: The study population was taken from Indira G and hi Medical College, Shimla, which is one of the Tertiary care centers of Himachal Pradesh located in North India. All patients undergoing Body Composition measurements were diagnosed as diabetics on the basis of ADA (American Diabetic Association) diagnostic criteria. 60 diabetic patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria and 60 healthy age and sex-matched controls were enrolled in this study. Results: Matched analysis was done and it was found that the Phase angle among diabetics was lower (5.6° + 0.9°) than controls (6.3° + 1.1°) and was statistically significant, p-value <0.005. A comparison of biochemical investigations shows that there was a statistically significant difference between diabetics and controls with respect to FBS, HbA1C, Cholesterol, VLDL and HDL. Conclusion: Diabetics and controls were age, Sex and BMI matched with moderate physical activity. Waist Circumference (WC) was higher in diabetics indicating central obesity. The diabetics were found to be hypertensive with poor blood sugar control and dyslipidemia. The Phase Angle was decreased in diabetics than in controls, showing the prognosis of the disease.

Published: November 2022

In the context of chronic diseases, drug treatment is often long-term, perhaps even lifelong. Although in therapeutic terms the hygienic-dietary regime is very important, the importance of diet is still neglected by the patient. Diet and lifestyle have a special role in maintaining health, longevity and treating various ailments. It is known that a large part of adults between the ages of 20-70 suffer from obesity and that according to the data provided by the WHO, the main causes of mortality in the world are related to unhealthy eating, 14 million deaths are caused annually by an unbalanced diet globally. In this context, the population of Romania mainly has an unhealthy diet based on an increased intake of saturated fats, carbohydrates and protein and an insufficient intake of vitamins, minerals and enzymes from fruits, vegetables and seeds.

The 62-year-old CV patient from Constanţa presented herself at the nutrition clinic for being overweight, having several chronic conditions. Through an appropriate and customized diet low in sodium, hypoprotein and hypocaloric, he managed to return to normal weight and significantly alleviates all the chronic conditions initially presented, together with the return of biochemical analysis results to normal levels, values maintained over time.
Testing different isolation distances in woodpecker territory mapping in Central Hungary
Authors: Vadász Csaba , Kocsán Gábor , Ónodi Gábor
Published: November 2022

Woodpeckers as cavity excavators are crucial in forest ecosystems, therefore, it is important to study their ecological needs, specifically at the territory scale, using mapping methodologies, of which there are uncertainties considering detection probabilities and the distances of the territory centres in different species and habitats. We studied the effects of the number of visits and isolation distance on detected woodpecker territories in the 1,000 ha forest mosaic of the Peszér forest in Central Hungary. We made territory mapping in 2020 along existing trails and forest roads on the present woodpecker species as Black, Eurasian Green, Great Spotted, Middle Spotted, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Eurasian Wryneck. We found a very low detection probability for single territories during one visit, while with the increasing number of visits it is more unlikely to overlook territories. Considering the isolation distances, by lowering the distance, more territories can be registered, which suggests that researchers should take great care choosing the proper distance for a given species whilst avoiding the over- or underestimation of territories.

This paper has an actuality as BirdLife Hungary announced the Eurasian Green Woodpecker as the Bird of the Year in 2022, for drawing attention to this species’ habitat preferences and conservation.

Published: November 2022

Maintaining an adequate level of services becomes a particularly difficult challenge in the current conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which greatly complicates the organization and implementation of tasks assigned to public entities. Therefore, it was deemed important to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, considered in the context of global risk, on the quality of customer service in the local government units. In the theoretical part, the investigations presented in this study contain a discussion of public service provision by local government units. The publication includes a study of the concepts of quality and satisfaction. The article also draws attention to the aspect of risk as an indispensable element of business entities in relation to the global risk caused by the SARSCoV-2 virus. The empirical part presents the results of surveys conducted using the Servqual method and the Kruskal-Wallis test. In conclusion, providing high-quality services is a challenge for many local government units. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the dimensions of reliability and trust that make up the quality of customer service in local government units. This is evidenced by the results which show the deterioration of the quality of customer service during the pandemic. The current situation exacerbates the negative trend resulting from the gap between the perception of the services provided and the actual requirements of the respondents.

Nadie es eterno
Authors: López Alejandro José
Published: November 2022

Publicada hace casi una década (2012), Nadie es eterno de Alejandro José López ha venido a consolidarse entre el público lector y la crítica literaria como una de las más destacadas novelas contemporáneas de Colombia. Sus historias recogen los trágicos hechos de la llamada Masacre de Trujillo, ocurrida a inicios de los años 90. Sin embargo, la calidad narrativa lleva esta novela más allá del caso criminal y le permite contar las profundas transformaciones que el narcotráfico y el sicariato efectuaron sobre el conjunto de la sociedad colombiana. El amplio mosaico de sus personajes (Misiá Hermelinda, la viuda madre de dos muchachos —el joven sicario Pacho Tiro y Juancho, su hermano enfermo—; Armando Valentierra, el patrón; Maritza, una bella prostituta de ascendencia aborigen; Rafico, el pintor gay; el doctor Santiago Álvarez; la joven pareja de Alberto y Claudia; entre otros), así como el apasionante microcosmos en que deviene la ciudad de Tuluá y la notable altura poética de su lenguaje hacen de Nadie es eterno una imperdible radiografía de la Colombia contemporánea.

Published: November 2022

The realistic problem of the continuous downturn of Chinese residents' consumption has a long history. The tsunami like covid-19 has further worsened the consumption situation of the Chinese people. Using the questions and contents of the "Japan Household Panel Survey" (JHPS) questionnaire of Keio University, and taking the employment rate of other married women with the same income level in the same community as a tool variable, this paper empirically examines the impact of urban married women's employment on household consumption. The results show that the employment of married women in cities and towns significantly increases household consumption; Through the verification of the mechanism, it is found that the increase of total household income and the increase of marginal propensity to consume are important mechanisms for married women to obtain employment to promote urban household consumption, in which the increase of income plays a greater role in the improvement of low-income household consumption, and the increase of marginal propensity to consume plays a greater role in the improvement of high-income household consumption; The employment of married women has a positive impact on all kinds of household consumption, but it plays a greater role in promoting developmental consumption.

Objetivo: Analisar os desafios enfrentados pelas gestantes no acesso às consultas de pré-natal durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa dos dados, realizada de forma online. A população do estudo foi constituída por 24 gestantes que integravam um projeto de extensão universitário. Considerando a natureza deste estudo, optou-se pela análise bivariada, através do teste Qui-quadrado. Quando, para o total da amostra, foram investigadas as associações entre grau de escolaridade, determinantes sociais como renda familiar e local de moradia, e desafios impostos pela pandemia da Covid-19 com a baixa adesão às consultas de pré-natal não foram verificadas associações significativas (p>0,05). Resultados: Na trajetória da análise desse estudo, foi possível perceber que a pandemia da Covid-19 influenciou a vida das mulheres grávidas de várias formas possíveis e que a assistência durante o período gestacional precisou se adequar a atual crise sanitária, uma vez que são essenciais e precisam ser realizadas mensalmente para o monitoramento da mãe e seu bebê. Conclusão: Observou-se a eficiência dos profissionais de saúde para dar continuidade a estas consultas mesmo com a necessidade de isolamento social e as gestantes pertencerem ao grupo de risco da doença.

Objetivo: Relatar a elaboração de diagnósticos, resultados esperados e cuidados de enfermagem para uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Relato de experiência: Esta experiência é decorrente da vivência do estágio obrigatório supervisionado como requisito para conclusão do curso de graduação em Enfermagem de uma universidade pública localizada na zona da mata mineira. Para elaboração dos instrumentos, utilizou-se a classificação de diagnósticos de enfermagem NANDA-International (NANDA-I) (2021-2023), a Classificação das Intervenções de Enfermagem (NIC) e artigos científicos disponíveis na literatura. Dentre os 23 diagnósticos de enfermagem elencados, quatro estavam relacionados à nutrição; nove à pele; cinco ao sistema respiratório; dois associados à segurança e três relacionados a fatores psicossociais, psicomotores e conforto. Desses diagnósticos, nove estão atrelados a riscos. Os 32 cuidados de enfermagem elencados, estão principalmente voltados à monitorização das condições vitais e evolução clínica do RN, e sobretudo, à proteção desses neonatos, bem como à prevenção de infecções e riscos. Considerações finais: Essa atividade contribuiu de maneira positiva no processo de aprendizagem das alunas, pois, possibilitou colocar em prática o conteúdo aprendido ao longo do curso de graduação. A construção desse material reforça a importância de basear os cuidados de enfermagem em evidências.
Case of lumbar ligamentum flavum hematoma with epidural hematoma resulting in cauda equina compression

Published: November 2022

Background:

Lumbar ligamentum flavum hematomas (LFHs) are rare. However, when they occur and contribute to epidural cauda equina compression, timely surgical intervention is frequently warranted.

Case Description:

A 69-year-old female presented with the left lower extremity sciatica and gait disturbance of 2 weeks’ duration that ultimately evolved into a paraparesis/cauda equina syndrome. When the lumbar MRI revealed left-sided L4-L5 epidural compression attributed to a hemorrhage into the hypertrophied ligamentum flavum (HLF), she successfully underwent a bilateral fenestration/decompressive procedure. Pathologically, neovascularization and rupture of the ventral layers of the degenerated and thickened HLF contributed to the LFH.

Conclusion:

Arterial neovascularization (i.e., arterial feeding vessels from paramuscular/prelaminar lumbar branches) contributed to a left-sided L4-L5 LFH that resulted in epidural cauda equina compression in a 69-year-old female. Following surgical focal fenestration/decompression, the patient’s symptoms/signs resolved.
An Approach to the Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Authors: Bouhadana David , Sadri Iman
Published: November 2022

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects up to 50% of men over the age of 50; the condition’s  prevalence  increases with age, particularly after the age of 40. BPH can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can have a significant negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Men presenting with a gradual onset of LUTS are often suspected to have BPH. However, the clinician must recognize that LUTS possess many different aetiologies. This article aims to provide medical students with a stepwise approach to the diagnosis and management of LUTS that are secondary to BPH. The outlined approach describes the differential diagnoses, required investigations, and management-related details for LUTS that are secondary to BPH. This approach is based off of relevant Canadian, American, and European urological association guidelines.
Effectiveness of Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation and Its Importance During COVID-19
Authors: Pollock Hannah , Garnett Anna
Published: November 2022

Cardiac rehabilitation is a secondary prevention and disease-management opportunity for individuals living with cardiovascular disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused postponements and cancellations for many health services, including 41% of cardiac rehabilitation programs in Canada. Cardiac rehabilitation effectively reduces the risk of mortality, morbidity, and hospitalizations in cardiac clients. Without access, individuals face challenges to improve their health, which places them at risk of adverse outcomes. This paper argues that transitioning to home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs during the pandemic is a reasonable strategy to meet the ongoing rehabilitation needs of cardiac patients. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs utilize limited hospital or clinic visits because the majority of exercise is performed at home through regular communication with a case manager. Programs utilize a variety of resources, including technology, to regularly monitor, educate, and counsel clients. The programs’ flexibility and convenience overcome many multi-level barriers which normally impede participants from accessing services. These programs have proven to be equally effective, if not more effective than centre-based programs, at improving mortality, cardiac events, exercise capacity and modifiable risk factors. Home-based programs are a valid alternative to support and protect a vulnerable population, especially those at high risk if diagnosed with COVID-19. Transitioning to a home-based platform may be a challenge, but the Canadian Cardiovascular Society has provided practical approaches to support programs. Adapting current plans and developing new ones, utilizing appropriate resources, having a conservative exercise program, monitoring clients, emphasizing education, being flexible, and enhancing safety are key steps for a successful transition.
