ABSTRACT

The decision to use contraception can vary according to the level of understanding of husband and wife to the concept of family planning. Therefore it is necessary to know the factors that influence decision making in the family, because this will affect the sustainability of family planning programs in the future.

In bivariate analysis (chi square test) only 3 factors have a significant effect, namely age of first marriage, area of ​​residence, and knowledge of family planning, while other factors, such as age, education, occupation, wealth quintile, number of children, taking decisions, and exposure to family planning messages by family planning staff do not have a significant effect on contraceptive use.

The results of the research show that the husband's influence is still strong in making decisions related to women's reproductive health. This condition shows the strong influence of gender and culture in a family. Perception of the value of children, namely as future investments and children as current investments affect family decisions in determining the number of children desired.

Keywords: Decision making, wife contraception, family planning

Published: August 2020

Objective: To evaluate the profile of foot and ankle injuries in professional soccer. Methods: Data were collected prospectively during the 2016 São Paulo Soccer Championship using two electronic forms: an initial form (10 variables) and a follow-up form (6 variables). The results were standardized and evaluated in SPSS 23.0. Results: A total of 259 injuries were reported: 106 to the thigh (40.9%), 42 to the foot and ankle (16.2%), 39 to the knee (15.1%), 39 to the head or face (15.1%) and 33 in other locations (12.7%). Of the 42 foot and ankle injuries, 20 were lateral ankle sprains (47.6%), 5 were medial ankle sprains (11.9%), 3 were to the triceps surae (7.1%), 3 were leg contusions (7.1%), 3 were foot contusions (7.1%), 2 were myalgias (4.8%), in addition to 5 other types (11.9%). There was physical contact in 73.8% of the injuries (p <0.001), and six injuries (14.3%) were considered severe, i.e., involving a time loss of at least one month. Of the severe injuries, four were treated surgically (three by osteosynthesis and one by tenorrhaphy). The mean time loss due to injury was 19.7 days, and the overall incidence rate was 3.5 injuries per 1000 hours of exposure, with 2.1 ligament injuries per 1000 hours. X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging were the most requested tests in the follow-up of these patients. Conclusion: Foot and ankle injuries were the second most frequent injury in Brazilian professional soccer, 73.8% of which resulted from physical contact (p<0.001). Lateral ankle sprains accounted for 47.6% of these injuries, which reaffirms their high prevalence and importance for sports medicine. Level of Evidence III; Prognostic Studies; Prospective Study.

Published: August 2020

Objective: To compare the Portuguese translations of the Foot and Ankle Activity Measure (FAAM) and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaires as functional assessment instruments for patients with hallux valgus and assess correlations between scores and severity of deformity. Methods: A total of 28 patients were assessed and the functional scores provided by the FAAM and FAOS questionnaires were compared and their correlations with clinical and radiological severity were analyzed. Results: Mean age was 46.88 years (range: 18 to 64). Laterality was distributed as follows: 57.1% had the deformity on the right foot (16 cases) and 42.9% on the left (12 cases). The deformities identified were graded as follows: 26.1% of patients had mild deformity (6 cases), 45.3% had moderate deformity (14 cases), and 28.6% had severe deformity (8 cases). It was observed that the distribution of scores for the different grades of deformity was the same for both questionnaires. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the results obtained using the FAAM or the FAOS questionnaire or in the relationship of proportionality between radiological deformity grade and the functional scores obtained using the two tests.

Published: August 2020

Objective: This study aimed to report the short-term results of retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) nailing in a selected series of patients with fragility ankle fractures. Methods: This study included 17 patients who underwent primary retrograde TTC nailing from January 2016 to April 2019. The Olerud-Molander ankle score (OMAS) was recorded preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Results: Mean patient age was 81.5 years (range, 67-91 years), and mean follow-up duration was 20.9 months (range, 8-50 months). No patient was lost to follow-up. Eleven patients had diabetes. Thirteen patients were able to walk with an assistive device, and 4 with help from another person. Two patients died at 8 and 9 months after treatment. Radiographic healing was observed in 100% of the fractures. No deep infection or scarring problems were recorded. Two patients were wheelchair bound after treatment, whereas 15 recovered their previous autonomy. The mean OMAS score changed from 64.1 (range, 55-75) preoperatively to 55.3 (range, 45-65) postoperatively. Conclusion: Our results suggest that primary retrograde TTC nailing is a valid option in selected patients with fragility ankle fractures, multiple comorbidities, poor soft tissue condition, and difficulty in walking before the fracture.

Published: August 2020

Objective: To report our experience with intramedullary fixation and osteosynthesis of the tibia with suprapatellar approach and semiextended positioning. Methods: This study retrospectively assessed 6 patients with tibial fracture treated with suprapatellar intramedullary nail fixation and osteosynthesis from September 2015 to September 2018. Results: There was acceptable bone fixation. Mean healing time was 6 months (range: 4-10 months). Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analog scale, and the knee was divided into 9 quadrants to help locate the specific site of pain; all participants reported that pain was located at distal quadrants. Knee function was completely restored. Conclusion: Suprapatellar approach with the knee in the semiextended position is a good surgical technique for extra-articular proximal tibial fractures or those associated with soft tissue involvement at the conventional infrapatellar entry site. Thus, this analysis led us to believe that the technique should also be applicable to middle diaphyseal fractures or fractures in general, regardless of their location.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: To ascertain the incidence of early complications in the posterolateral approach to open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolar fractures and identify possible risk factors related to occurrence of these complications. Methods: Retrospective study carried out in three tertiary hospitals. Patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route were divided into two groups: with versus without delayed postoperative healing. To assess risk and protective factors for the outcome of delayed healing, we evaluated the time between trauma and surgery, whether the patient had a fracture-dislocation of the ankle, and whether external fixation was performed before surgery. We also evaluated whether improvement in operative technique led to a reduction in complication rates. Results: A total of 43 individuals who underwent surgical correction of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route between 2013 and 2018 were included. Of these, 19 (44.2%) had skin complications that led to delayed healing. Skin complications occurred more frequently at the beginning of the learning curve of the surgeons involved; the incidence up to the year 2016 was 56.3%, decreasing significantly to 37% from 2017 onward. Conclusion: Patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route at the beginning of the learning curve are a greater risk of developing skin complications, demonstrating the importance of this approach being restricted to more experienced surgeons.

Published: August 2020

In this technical tip, we present the case of an obese 17-year-old female diagnosed with a severe, rigid, and symptomatic flatfoot on a background of exuberant talocalcaneal and residual calcaneonavicular coalition. Through a technical modification of the fusion resection, both coalitions were quickly and safely removed with two single cuts of an oscillating saw, resecting a medial wedge through a medial approach, without the need for “peel-off” tarsal coalition resection. To protect and guide the resection osteotomy, one Freer elevator ws inserted under direct visualization on the patent posterolateral aspect of the subtalar joint posterior facet and a second elevator was positioned underneath the talar neck. Under fluoroscopic guidance, an osteotomy was performed connecting these two points. The patient also received a bone-block subtalar joint arthrodesis and a Cotton osteotomy. Good short-term alignment correction and functional outcome were achieved. Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic Studies; Expert Opinion.

Professor Roberto Attilio Lima Santin passed away peacefully on the morning of July 13, 2020. Born in the countryside of the state of Sao Paulo, he graduated from University of Sao Paulo at Ribeirao Preto. He entered residency in orthopedic surgery in the early 1960s at Santa Casa de Misericordia de Sao Paulo, where he later became a staff member. Prof. Santin was appointed chief of the Foot and Ankle Group on two different occasions. He was also president of several professional societies, such as the Brazilian Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology (SBOT), Paulista Association of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Brazilian Society of Orthopedic Trauma, and Brazilian Society of Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction (ASAMI), and was known for his ethical and peaceful attitude.

Prof. Santin’s pioneering and consistent support for a single Latin American scientific journal for foot and ankle surgery led to its creation. He constantly sought opportunities for learning and teaching and found special joy in sharing his wide knowledge. Although he had a preference for foot and ankle surgery, his practice involved all areas of orthopedic surgery. His work combined simplicity in handling unique situations, devotion to helping those in need, elegance while performing operations, and cordiality in coexisting with different personalities. The remarkable characteristics of this beloved master have earned him wide recognition and admiration in the medical community. His ideas, advice, and his standing as physician and professor will always be remembered, and he will be dearly missed by those who had the honor and pleasure of his company.

May God bless and comfort his family and friends in this time of grief. Rest in peace beloved teacher.
Ensuring the Central Bank Discretion in Issuing Stabilization Loans in Times of Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Podtserkovnyi Oleg , Vozniakovska Kristina
Published: August 2020

Restrictive measures imposed by governments around the world to counter the Covid-19 pandemic undoubtedly have a negative impact on the economy. One of the instruments of the state, which makes it possible to save entire sectors of the economy, including the banking sector, from bankruptcy, is the stabilization loans of the central bank. Accordingly, the analysis of the discretionary powers of central banks and their governing bodies in issuing stabilization loans to overcome the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic is relevant and timely. The authors used different scientific methods, such as the dialectical method, the method of comparison, the method of elementary-theoretical analysis and synthesis, the hermeneutic and the forecasting analysis. As a result of the study, the authors substantiated a definition of the powers of the governing body of the central bank in making decisions on the provision of stabilization loans to banks, as part of the function of the central bank to maintain the stability of the national currency and the indicative regulation of banks. The authors concluded that there is a need for an expanded approach to the limits of the discretion of the central bank, on the basis of harmonization of economic purpose of decisions on the issuance of stabilization loans to banks, in accordance with the constitution and the laws.

The InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission began collecting high quality seismic data on Mars from February 2019. This manuscript documents the seismicity observed by SEIS, InSight’s seismometer, since this time until the end of March, 2020. Within the InSight project, the Marsquake Service (MQS) is responsible for prompt review of all seismic data collected by InSight, detection of events that are likely to be of seismic origin, and curation and release of seismic catalogues. In the first year of data collection, MQS have identified 465 seismic events that we interpret to be from regional and teleseismic marsquakes. Seismic events are grouped into 2 different event families: the low frequency family are dominated by energy at long period below 1 second, and the high frequency family primarily include energy at and above 2.4~Hz. Event magnitudes, from Mars-specific scales, range from 1.3 to 3.7. A third class of events with very short duration but high frequency bursts have been observed 712 times. These are likely associated with a local source driven by thermal stresses. This paper describes the data collected so far in the mission and the procedures under which MQS operates; summarises the content of the current MQS seismic catalogue; and presents the key features of the events we have observed so far, using the largest events as examples.

The Track Forecast Cone, commonly known as the “cone of uncertainty”, is the most popular hurricane and tropical storm forecast product that the National Hurricane Center produces. However, it is often misinterpreted by non-experts. In this study we first explored the most common misconceptions about the cone and produced two alternative redesigns that we expected to be more attractive to and easier to understand by non-expert readers. Our results were mixed, but reveal promising paths for future efforts.
Applications of GIS and Geospatial analyses in COVID-19 research: A systematic review
Authors: Ahasan Rakibul , Alam Shaharier , Chakraborty Torit , Hossain Md Mahbub
Published: August 2020

Geographic Information Science (GIS) had established itself as a distinct domain and incredibly useful whenever the research is related to geography, space, and other spatio-temporal dimensions. However, the scientific landscape on the integration of GIS in the COVID related studies is largely unknown. In this systematic review, we assessed the current evidence on the implementation of GIS and other geospatial tools and technologies in COVID-19 pandemic. We systematically retrieved and reviewed 79 research articles that either directly used GIS or other Geospatial tools as part of their analysis. We grouped the identified papers under six broader thematic groups based on the objectives and research questions of the study- environmental, socio-economic, and cultural, public health, spatial transmission, computer-aided modeling, and data mining. The interdisciplinary nature of how geographic and spatial analysis was used in COVID-19 research was noticeable among the reviewed papers. Although GIS has substantial potential in planning to slow down the spread, surveillance, contact tracing, and identify the trends and hotspots of breakdowns, it was not employed as much as it could have been. This review not only provided an overarching view on how GIS has been used in COVID-19 research so far but also concluded that this geospatial analysis and technologies could be used in future public health emergencies along with statistical and other socio-economic modeling techniques. Our systematic review also provides how both scientific communities and policymakers could leverage GIS to extract useful information to make an informed decision in the coming days.

Flemish Radicals, Jacobins, and Nazis: The Francophones of Flanders and Arguments against the State Regulation of Language during the Twentieth Century
Authors: Hensley David J.
Published: August 2020

Both popular and scholarly treatments of the French-speaking world tend to reify all French speakers into a homogeneous bloc with a deeply state-centered approach to language legislation. Such an analysis, informed by the examples of France and Québec, neglects the specificity of different social and political contexts. In this article, I use the example of the French speakers of Flanders, who often argued against the state regulation of language and in doing so adopted a political discourse that was radically different than that often associated with so-called French speakers, to complicate our understanding of Francophonie as a coherent whole with regard to attitudes on language policy.
Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Doctor: Medical Attitudes toward Homosexuality and the Court Martial of Dr. Percy Ryberg
Authors: Barrett Matthew
Published: August 2020

This article explores the criminalization and medicalization of homosexuality within military culture during World War II through the general court martial of Flight Lieutenant Percy Ryberg, a medical officer stationed in the United Kingdom with the Royal Canadian Air Force. In December 1944, Ryberg faced a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman for renting a London apartment with airmen accused of homosexual activity. The unusual circumstances of a medically trained expert on human sexuality standing trial made the court martial proceedings an exceptional forum to explore medical and military attitudes toward homosexuality in the wartime environment. In his bestselling advice manual, Health, Sex and Birth Control (1942), Ryberg had denounced the persecution of homosexual people by calling for greater humanity and understanding, yet once implicated in the scandal, he still felt the need to affirm moral revulsion with physical same-sex acts. Ryberg’s defence rested on an assumption that a mental homosexual inclination could be separated from its physical expression. As he discovered, however, asserting medical expertise about the taboo subject risked impugning his own reputation and professional standing. From the prosecution’s perspective, failure to have identified the airmen as homosexual cast Ryberg as either complicit and deceptive, or a poor doctor. The case problematizes the role of medical professionals in the study of homosexuality during the mid twentieth century, as personal bias and prejudiced attitudes often undermined claims to clinical objectivity and emotional distance.
COVID-19’s Limited Impact on Drug Shortages in Canada
Authors: Gaudette Étienne
Published: August 2020

Using data from the Drug Shortages Canada website, we ask whether the first months of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic were associated with a significant increase in drug shortages in Canada. We find an increase of 147 shortages (32 percent) reported by manufacturers during March and April 2020 relative to the same months in previous years. The upsurge was concentrated during the two-week period from 25 March to 7 April 2020, after which report counts returned to usual levels. Excess reports cite both supply-side and demand-side causes for shortages. Increases were noted in therapeutic classes associated with COVID-19 care.
The More Things Change, the More Things Remain the Same: A Reflection on My Career in Education HR
Authors: Flora Joseph
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how my career in human resources management in diverse districts reflects the discouraging status of school reform in American education. After leading multiple human resources programs designed to improve educator performance, I have reached the conclusion that our schools are effectively immune to school and district improvement practices. Three conditions in the structure and culture of education conspire to stifle reform efforts, in spite of the considerable talent of school leaders and teachers. First, democratic processes that ultimately control educational progress encourage aversion to risk and avoidance of the district conflict that accompanies reform. Second, the bureaucratic organization of our school systems at the state, local, and federal levels of government facilitates inefficiencies, slow decision-making, and a frustrating search for consensus. Third, a culture of teacher autonomy and privacy retards collaboration and the impact of school administrators. Our programs in educational leadership need to better prepare school leaders in the political and communication skills that are necessary to lead genuine and sustainable reform.
Structural Changes Induced by Rolling Contact Fatigue – Results from Rig Testing and Field Experience
Authors: Beer O.
Published: August 2020

Rolling element bearings are highly stressed in the contact area. For the design of these bearings both the knowledge of the acting contact stress and material and application specific stress limits are important. Data about stress limits are typically derived from rig testing results. Besides a statistic evaluation of life tests also an X-ray diffraction analysis of tested bearing components is possible. An X-ray analysis enables the detection of structural changes during the overrolling process. This kind of analysis can also be performed on bearings after use in field. A comparison between evaluation results from rig testing and from field experience enables the possibility to check the transferability from rig testing to the use in field. Several fatigue-exposed bearing components coming from different kinds of testing, were evaluated by X-ray diffraction analysis. Also, components from aeroengine bearings after use in field are investigated. All these bearing parts are made from M50, a high-speed steel which is used in critical aeroengine bearing applications. By comparing results from rig testing with results from use in field, it can be demonstrated, that it is possible to transfer findings from rig testing to the use in field.

Formas de resistência microbiana e estratégias para minimizar sua ocorrência na terapia antimicrobiana: Revisão
Authors: Scaldaferri Laura
Published: August 2020

Microbial resistance to antimicrobial therapies has been a historic and permanent challenge to the global health. Several researches seek to identify the causes, as well ways to minimize the occurrence of this resistance. In this study, a review of scientific articles related to the theme had carried out, covering human and veterinary health, as well as discussing the difficulties about solving the problematics, pointing out the causes of resistance and some strategies to reduce these occurrences. In this context, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in humans and animals is seen as the main cause of the emergence of these resistances and the formation of superbugs. The gene transference, the occurrence of mutations and the formation of biofilms are the ways that interfere the most with the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy. Public awareness regarding the use of antimicrobials; Intensify research and investment in the area, in order to produce more appropriate and specific antimicrobials for a particular use; Resistance monitoring aiming to measure its worsen or control; Determination of epidemiological points, aiming at their resolution; Adoption of hygienic sanitary measures to reduce cases of infection; Decreasing the use of empirical therapy, thus reducing the use of antimicrobials inappropriately, or sometimes, unnecessary are suggestions and strategies to reduce the occurrence of these resistances. Since 2015, these strategies have been addressed in the Global Action Plan On Antimicrobial Resistance.

With the increase in ecological and socioeconomic importance, the use of different animals in research in the field of ophthalmology has been growing. The purpose of this review is to show the importance of using these non-mammalian animals, such as birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles. Consequently, the elaboration of a database of values of physiological parameters in healthy animals of each species, favoring that in cases of clinical routine of exotic animals, these data can be consulted. Prior to the development of a study, the researcher must pay attention to the choice of the experimental model, especially if the chosen species reaches the objectives and needs of the study. In a general context, there is a need for greater use of non-mammalian animals so that scientific data can assist in diagnoses where there is still no standardization of reference values for wild animals.
Osteomielite no membro pélvico de felino secundária à infecção bacteriana: Relato de caso
Authors: De Freitas Maria Helena
Published: August 2020

Osteomyelitis is defined as bone inflammation caused by an infectious agent that may be bacteria or fungi, including associated structures such as soft tissues, periosteum and endosteum. The causes for the appearance of osteomyelitis are diverse, such as exposed fractures, traumatism and extensive bone exposure. The main clinical signs found are claudication in the affected limb, pain on palpation of the region, edema and presence of purulent discharge at the affected site. The diagnosis involves radiographic, hematological and antibiogram examinations. The treatment is long and requires persistence of both the tutor and the professional responsible. The best form of prevention is the attention and care in any injury that the animal may present in order to avoid outbreaks of infection. The objective of this study was to report a case of a 3-years-old feline, with symptomatology of pain, claudication and presence of mucopurulent secretion in the pelvic limb, from the city of Manaus, at the Veterinary Medical Center of Manaus, approaching clinical history, diagnosis and treatment. Through physical and radiographic examinations and antibiogram, it was possible to diagnose osteomyelitis. Treatment consisted of scraping, removal bone fragments and use of various antibiotics, with lincomycin showing the best results. The animal presented a satisfactory recovery. It was concluded that, through clinical signs, the correct approach and complementary tests such as bacterial culture and antibiogram is necessary to treat the infection.
Osteossíntese de ossos longos em aves: Revisão
Authors: Canelas Hugo Augusto
Published: August 2020

Bones are key components of the locomotor system, in addition to the function of supporting and protecting adjacent tissues and organs. Trauma is the biggest disease that occurs in birds, representing about 20% of all cases of animals treated, where the fracture is more noted, with long bones being the most prevalent, mainly humeral and tibiotarsal. It is notorious to evaluate the animal for the following clinical signs: local pain, angular deformity of the limb, abnormal bone mobility, local edema, functional impotence of the limb, lameness and local crackling. In birds, the main treatments recommended for orthopedic conditions are the use of bandages, intramedullary pins, external fixators and rest in a cage. Due to the small size and the thin and light constitution of the bones, the use of bone plates is rare, being used only in specific cases of fractures. Traumatic disorders in birds, especially fractures, have become increasingly common in the veterinarian's routine and require therapeutic intervention. However, few professionals risk taking such procedures, due to the existence of different physical and physiological characteristics of this class, lacking great anatomical knowledge and basic principles of general orthopedic surgery.

Published: August 2020

The article claims that one way to be used use the proximity in empirical analyses of framing victims of international conflicts is to measure the religious proximity and their intention of intervention between the media of reporting country and conflicting parties. Using qualitative content analysis, our research will demonstrate that religious proximity and intervention intention is related to successful framing of conflicting victims, building in the hypothesized direction: The closer the proximity between reporting country and conflict actor, the greater the chance that the actor will be highly empathized and the opposite side framing will be highly brutalized. The study analyzes each story with four functional frames suggested by Entman. Research will focus that media of reporting countries will frame victims and actor of each conflict with respect to their proximity bound based on political, cultural and economic relation.

The efficacious attitude of a person plays a vital role to develop psychological well-being, interpersonal and self-esteem. An individual with high level of self-efficacy is able to regulate and balance thoughts over actions. The basic purpose of the current study was to find out the relationship between self-efficacy and workplace stress of university teachers. A quantitative co-relational research design was followed to achieve the research objectives. 180 faculty members working in three different public sector universities in Pakistan were selected using multiphase sampling technique. Self-developed self-efficacy scale (based on two factors; general teaching efficacy and personal teaching efficacy) and workplace stress inventory were used to collect the required data. Data were analyzed applying mean score, t-test and Pearson correlation. Findings of the study reveal indirect correlation between the level of teachers self-efficacy and their perceived stress at workplace. Few recommendations were made on the basis of the findings of this study.

Published: August 2020

Meso peradi značajan je animalni proizvod u prehrani stanovništva. Mišićno tkivo bogato je bjelančevinama i odlikuje se niskim sadržajem masti, te se svrstava u dijetetski proizvod. Mikroalge su bogati izvor omega-3 masnih kiselina, osobito dokozaheksaenske (DHA), i u manjim količinama eikozapentaenske (EPA). Od posebne važnosti za peradarsku industriju su nedavna istraživanja u kojima se biomasa mikroalgi učinkovito koristi u proizvodnji peradarskih proizvoda obogaćenih s polinezasićenim masnim kiselinama dugog lanca (LC-PUFA n-3). Cilj ovog istraživanja je prikazati profil masnih kiselina u mikroalgama i istražiti mogućnosti obogaćivanja peradarskog mesa omega-3 masnim kiselinama dodavanjem mikroalgi u smjese za tov pilića. U radu je prikazan pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja o deponiranju omega- 3 PUFA uporabom mikroalgi u hrani tovnih pilića.

التطورات السياسية في العراق في عهد عبد الكريم قاسم (1958-1963)
Authors: Mohammed AL-Tahir Benadi
Published: August 2020

إن الانسجام بين مختلف شرائح المجتمع وترسيخ مفهوم السلطة الوطنية وتجسيد مبدأ الهوية، تعد محددات أساسية يرتكز عليها بناء الدولة الوطنية التي تقوم على مبدأ المواطنة. إن هذه المرتكزات كان الضروري مراعاتها أثناء فترة تشكل الدولة في العراق الحديث ، غير أن تدخل الفواعل الخارجية حال دون تحقيق ذلك، بفضل تأثيرها على طبيعة نظام الحكم في العراق (ملكي، مشيخات، طوائف، أعراق ورؤساء العشائر) إذ روعيت في كل ذلك الأجندات والحسابات الأجنبية والانقسام المجتمعي وذلك على حساب الدولة العراقية هذا من جهة ، كما  صعبت الصراعات الأيديولوجية الحزبية ، والعشائرية من جهة أخرى من مهمة استكمال بناء أطرها .

لقد أثرت فترة حكم عبد الكريم قاسم بشكل كبير على المشهد السياسي، العسكري، الاقتصادي والاجتماعي للعراق ، كما أنها مثلت مرحلة مفصلية مهمة في تاريخه المعاصر، على اعتبار أن هذا البلد يكتسي أهمية حيوية بالغة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط رغم حداثة عهده بالاستقلال وهشاشة نظامه السياسي . سنحاول في هذه الورقة البحثية معالجة أهم التطورات السياسية في العراق في فترة حكم عبد الكريم قاسم وعلاقة السلطة في عهده بالتنظيمات السياسية والمجتمعية . لقد دارت إشكالية المداخلة حول مدى مساهمة فترة حكمه 1958-1963 في التأثير على الحياة السياسية في العراق ، وهل جاءت نتيجة الوضع السياسي أم رغبة منه في الوصول إلى الحكم ؟
