Utility of urethral ratio in voiding cystourethrogram to identify milder variants of posterior urethral valves
Authors: Ainippully Arun M. , P. V. Anoop , V. Arun , S. Prathap
Published: April 2018

Background: Majority of patients with posterior urethral valves are diagnosed antenatally. Few patients present later in childhood with milder variants of the disease where the radiological findings are not very apparent. In this study, we aim to evaluate the role of urethral ratio beyond which here is higher probability of finding a mild variant of urethral valve thereby identifying patients who need to undergo a cystoscopic evaluation.  Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery between 2016 and 2017. 48 male patients who presented with either urinary tract infection or other lower urinary tract symptoms were included in the study. The candidates were examined and evaluated with an ultrasound followed by a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). The Urethral ratio was calculated. All patients then underwent a cystoscopy to rule out the presence of valve. We analyzed the data in Stata IC 15 statistical software and R statistical computing environment. Results: Of the 48 children recruited to the study, the median age of those with posterior urethral valve on cystoscopy was 8(IQ 3-18) and those without valves was 9(IQ 6.5-21) months. There was a statistically significant difference in the quality of urinary stream, straining on micturition, presence or absence of palpable bladder between the two groups (p value <0.05). The mean urethral ratio in the first group with PUV was 2.25(CI 2.02 to 2.48) and that in the second group with no urethral valve was 1.48(CI 1.32 to 1.65). with cut-off point of Urethral ratio at 2 the specificity and positive predictive value for the presence of PUV reached 100%.Conclusions: The present study indicates the calculation of urethral ratio on VCUG is an objective method for assessment of milder variants of PUV. In the present study, a Urethral ratio greater than 2 had a positive predictive value of 100% and would mandate a cystoscopic evaluation.

Authors: Rajendran S. , Prabu K. R. Manoj
Published: April 2018

Background: Nodular goitre is a common endocrine problem in the world today. Solitary thyroid nodule is defined as the presence of a palpable nodule in the otherwise normal thyroid gland. Solitary nodules are one of the most frequent presentations of thyroid disorder. The aim of this study was to study the incidence and other clinical parameters of solitary thyroid nodules and to correlate between clinical diagnosis and histopathological examination of solitary nodule thyroid.Methods: A prospective study was done in patients with solitary thyroid swelling, after taking a detailed history, were examined clinically and confirmed with FNAC and underwent thyroid surgery were included in this study. The histopathological reports were evaluated and correlated with clinical diagnosis by standard statistical methods.Results: Majority of the patients were between 21-30 years of age. Female:male ratio was about 11.5:1. Swelling in front of the neck was the most common presentation. Most common solitary thyroid swelling was the colloid goitre. Commonest surgery performed was hemithyroidectomy.Conclusions: The majority of the solitary nodule of the thyroid was found to be benign, and this illustrates that hemithyroidectomy is the preferred surgery unless malignancy is suspected by fine needle aspiration cytology.

Published: April 2018

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a histologic diagnosis that refers to the proliferation of smooth muscle and epithelial cells within the prostatic transition zone. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the comparative effectiveness and safety of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) and alpha blockers used alone or in combination for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods: We analyzed 54 patients of BPH with LUTS with baseline IPSS, Qmax and PVR over one-year period. They were randomized equally in three groups i.e. group receiving alpha blocker, group receiving phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors and group receiving combination of the two drugs. These patients were followed up at the end of 1st month and 3rd month and IPSS, Qmax and PVR was compared.Results: Out of 54, 45 patients completed the study. At the end of the study all the three groups showed significant improvement in IPSS, PVR and Qmax, all p <0.05, but the combination group showed much better improvement in terms of percentage. Two patients on alpha blockers had episode of hypotension.Conclusions:Thus, we summarize that phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors should be preferred over alpha blockers in patients with LUTS/BPH as it has, firstly, outcome similar to alpha blockers. Secondly, have no documented side effect. Third, can be given in any patient, irrespective of the fact that whether the patient is suffering from erectile dysfunction or not.

Authors: S. Pramod , J. Anukethan
Published: April 2018

Background: Hypospadias is common congenital condition. First attempted hypospadias surgery was done during first century A.D. Since then more than 300 techniques have been explained in the surgery for Hypospadias. The goal of surgery is focused on functional and cosmetic outcomes. In 1994 Snodgrass popularized the technique of urethral plate incision, tubularization and secondary dorsal healing for hypospadias repair. Aim of the study was to evaluate the short term outcomes of Snodgrass urethroplasty.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by the department of Pediatric Surgery, Kempegowda Institute of medical sciences (KIMS) hospital, Bangalore from 2014 to 2017. Children with mid penile and distal hypospadias who had undergone Snodgrass urethroplasty were enrolled in the study. Children with previous surgery were excluded. The demographic data, duration of surgery, post operative requirement of anticholinergics, duration of catheterization and post operative stay were tabulated. Children were followed up for duration of 6 months to 3 years. Post operative complications were tabulated. Results: 40 children were included in the study. Age ranges of children were between 9 months to 14 years. In most of the children hypospadias was diagnosed at birth. The mean duration of surgery was 97.25 minutes. The mean duration of hospitalization was12.2 day. The overall complications rate was 20%. The most common complication was urethrocutaneous fistula. Out of the 40 children included in the study 4(10%) children required resurgery (urethrocutaneous fistula closure).Conclusions: Snodgrass urethroplasty is a simple and effective technique. It is easy to learn and can be applied as a single stage procedure. The most common complications are urethrocutaneous fistula and meatal stenosis.

Authors: Jaiswal Deepak , Wilkinson TRV , Akhtar Murtaza
Published: April 2018

Background: Tension free repair using mesh in open hernia repair has become more popular in recent years. Chronic pain remains a frequent complication after Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair. The use of sutures to fix the mesh has been implicated. Fixing the mesh using cynoacrylate glue could avoid this complication. The purpose of the present study is to study the incidence of pain and other complications following inguinal hernia repair performed by the Lichtenstein technique with mesh fixation by cyanoacrylate surgical glue.Methods: T This study was conducted at tertiary care hospital. Inclusion criteria were all patients coming to the hospital with inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernias diagnosed clinically. Exclusion criteria were all complicated inguinal hernia namely obstructed, strangulated, and large hernias with scrotal abdomen, recurrent hernia. Patient not fit for surgery or not consenting to join the study. The patients will be informed about the surgery and thereafter requested to sign an informed consent. Primary outcome was postoperative pain. Secondary endpoints were operating time, surgical site infection and recurrence rate.Results: Total number of 31 cases enrolled in the study of which twenty-two had unilateral and seven had bilateral inguinal hernias. Average pain score on POD 1, 3, 7 was 5.75; 4.53; 3.32 respectively. One patient developed seroma which was managed conservatively. No evidence of recurrence during study period.Conclusions: Cyanoacrylate surgical glue is a reliable method and can be used as an alternative for conventional Lichtenstein hernia repair.
Role of gallbladder wall thickness in predicting laparoscopic operability prior to cholecystectomy: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Pathak Priyank , Zaidi Rihan
Published: April 2018

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard procedure for cholecystitis. There are variable rates of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy. Various studies have highlighted gall bladder wall thickness of > 3mm as an independent risk factor for conversion. The purpose of our study is to predict the feasibility of cholecystectomy laparoscopically bases on the pre-operative ultrasound guided measurement of gall bladder wall thickness.Methods: It is a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Surgery, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) from June 2016 to September 2017. Patient’s pre-operative complete haemogram, liver function tests were also analyzed. Gallbladder wall thickness was estimated by using the maximal obtainable measurement at the fundus. A thin gallbladder wall was less than 3 mm in diameter. A thick gallbladder wall was 3 mm or greater in diameter.Results: A total of 192 patients were included in this study. Most of the patients were of the age group between 30-40 years, with average age of 37 years and 70% of the patients were females. Out of 192, 176 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 16 patients required conversion to open surgery. Ninety patients (46.8%) had cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis and one hundred two patients (53.15%) had cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis. The gallbladder wall was found to be greater than 3 mm in 23 patients (25.5%) with acute calculous cholecystitis and greater than 3 mm in 25 patients (24.5%) with chronic calculous cholecystitis. Forty-eight patients, out of a total of 192, had a gallbladder wall thickness greater than 3 mm by preoperative sonography and 16 of these patients (33.3%) required conversion to an open cholecystectomy.Conclusions: Gall bladder wall thickness bases on ultrasound is a good predictor for difficult cholecystectomy and conversion to open surgery.

Published: April 2018

Background: The aim of the present study is to observe the clinical profile and management of mastalgia. The objectives of the present study were to assess the clinical profile of breast diseases causing mastalgia, to study the response of mastalgia to the following three drugs: Danazol, Bromocriptine, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (topical diclofenac gel).Methods: It was prospective type of study. Inclusion criteria: Patients of age group 15-50 years, all patients suspected or diagnosed for breast pathology with mastalgia. Exclusion criteria: immune-compromised patients, all patients undergoing surgical removal of breast lump, pregnant females. Evaluation of pain was done using visual analog scale, prior to giving the treatment and after giving the treatment each week for the first month and thereafter monthly for the next 6 months. Results: The clinical profile of mastalgia was as follows: fibroadenosis accounting for 37 (46.25%), followed by 10 (12.5%) cases of fibroadenoma, 08 (10%) cases of mastitis, 06 (7.5%) cases of breast abscess, 03 (3.75%) cases of duct ectasia, 02 (2.50%) cases of galactocoele, 02 (2.50%) cases of breast carcinoma and 12 (15%) cases of non-specific extra-mammary pathology. Patient’s response rate to different drugs included in the study was: 64.8% to danazol, 56.9% to bromocriptine and 76.01% to topical diclofenac gel.Conclusions: Cyclical mastalgia accounted for more proportion of patients than non-cyclical mastalgia. Common causes of mastalgia being fibroadenosis, followed by fibroadenoma, mastitis, breast abscess, duct ectasia, galactocoele, breast carcinoma and non-specific extra-mammary pathology. Danazol and bromocriptine are effective in treatment of mastalgia, though they show different side effect profiles and varying patient compliance.

Published: April 2018

Background: Today there are numerous methods available for closure of wounds like tissue adhesives, staplers, adhesive tapes and obviously the age old conventional suturing, all of which have their own pros and cons. The aim was to study the complications and results of use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate on wound healing and compare them without those of conventional suturing.Methods: Study included 60 operated cases of open inguinal hernia. And comparison was made between cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive and conventional skin suturing in open inguinal hernia.Results: 1 out of 30 (3.3%) from tissue adhesive group and 2 out of 30(6.7%) develop fever ( P value=1.000). 4 (13.3%) of tissue adhesive and 4 (13.3%)from suturing developed redness (P value=1.000). 4 (13.3%) tissue adhesive and 5 (16.7%) from suturing had discharge (P value=0.718). 2 (6.7%) and 1 (3.3%) developed wound dehiscence from tissue adhesive and suturing respectively (P value=0.554). 1 (3.3%) from tissue adhesive developed edge eversion (P value=0.313). 24 (80%) wounds are cosmetically good in which tissue adhesive was applied and 2(6.7%) in which suturing was done (P value=0.001) which is statistically significant.Conclusions: Time required for the intraoperative application of cyanoacrylate glue is less than suturing of incision.Incidence of wound infection was found to be less when wound closure done by cyanoacrylate glue in comparison to suturing. A single linear scar was obtained using cyanoacrylate glue which is cosmetically better than suture scar.  Incidence of wound dehiscence is more in cases of application of cyanoacrylate glue than suturing.

A variety of metallic and non-metallic rings causing constriction to the external genitalia have been described in the literature across all ages. The adult population frequently reports erotic or autoerotic goals when intentionally placing constricting devices. In adults these constricting bands are placed deliberately by the person himself to influence blood circulation and thereby obtain prolonged erection and/or sexual pleasure. A compilation of 3 rare case presentations in the casualty of JJM Medical College Davangere were collected and studied. The present case series shows that sexual perversions can present as rare surgical emergencies and need aggressive early intervention to avoid vascular compromise and its squeal.
A stress ulcer duodenal perforation complicating diaphragmatic rupture with multiple bone fracture in a polytrauma patient due to fall from a tree

Published: April 2018

Polytrauma in a 55 years male due to blunt trauma like fall from a height involving fracture of long bones, undisplaced fracture pelvis, fracture multiple ribs with a preliminary diagnosis of eventration of the hemidiaphragm in a apparently hemodynamically stable patient with a normal CT scan of brain, though poses a major physiological challenge, however runs a better prognosis. But with the passing of hours as patient develops respiratory distress and chest and abdomen CECT confirms a large lacerated hemidiaphragm with herniation of abdominal visceras occupying the hemithorax with lung collapse, alarms the gravity of the injury. An uncommon stress ulcer duodenal perforation on the 2nd day of admission with ensuing pyoperitoneum further threatens the hemodynamics and enhances the morbidity and mortality. This warrants an active and prompt action by multispecialty involvement. Emergency laparotomy to address the pyoperitoneum, closure of the duodenal perforation, reduction of the herniated abdominal visceras from the hemithorax, thorough saline lavage of the abdominal and involved chest cavity, placement of intrathoracic chest tube drain, repair of the lacerated diaphragm, placement of peritoneal cavity drains and closure of the abdomen settles the issue of damage control surgery in this case. Postoperative care in the ICU with ventilator support, higher antibiotics and supportive medications, repeated laboratory and radiological tests helps in overcoming the hemodynamic crisis in such critically ill patients. Our patient subsequently developed pneumonitis and had a postoperative protracted course in the ICU and finally shifted to the general ward on 7th day of his admission.

Published: April 2018

Primary Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst is a rare presentation of a disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Any organ of the body could be affected by the disease, although there are only a limited number of cases where the primary lesion is in the retroperitoneum. A definitive diagnosis requires a combination of imaging, serologic and immunologic tests. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are highly accurate in detecting a hydatid cyst. Diagnosis of retroperitoneal hydatid cysts remain difficult as the clinical and laboratory findings are usually nonspecific. We report a case of a 47-year-old male who had an incidental finding of a retroperitoneal mass behind the left kidney. The CT scan of abdomen was suggestive of Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst. Patient underwent marsupialisation of cyst. Histopathological Report was suggestive of Hydatid Cyst.
Aberrant configuration of femoral vessels as cause of arterial occlusive disease
Authors: Ahuja Ankit , Naithani Vinay , Bagara Amit Kumar , Bhatia Budhi Prakash
Published: April 2018

Variations in the branching pattern of femoral and profunda femoris arteries have clinical implications while performing various diagnostic imaging procedures as well as during surgeries that are performed in the femoral triangle. Awareness about these variations aid surgeons during preoperative clinical evaluation for surgical and interventional revascularization of the ileo-femoral and femoro-popliteal segments, in open canulation of femoral artery for cardiopulmonary bypass, in radiological interventions for A-V malformations, and in salvage operations for traumatic limb ischemia. Here we report an aberrant configuration of profunda femoris artery which presented as a case of arterial occlusive disease of lower limb. On surgical exploration, Profunda femoris artery was found originating on the medial aspect of left common femoral artery high up in the inguinal region as compared to its usual lower and lateral origin. There was atheromatous occlusion of superficial femoral artery from its origin upto distal femoral metaphysis. In case of occlusion of the superficial femoral artery, the profunda femoris artery forms an effective collateral bed between the ileo-femoral segment and the popliteal artery and its branches. The clinical implications associated with these variations in therapeutic and diagnostic interventions is been discussed along with relevant literature review. Further study is necessary to identify aberrant configuration of femoral vessels as a cause of arterial occlusive disease in the lower limbs.

Published: April 2018

One of the most unusual complications in gall bladder disease is spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula (SCF), which has only been reported a few times in the literature. We report the case of a 67-year-old man who presented with a right hypochondrium discharging sinus. Identification of a cholecystocutaneous fistula was made by computed tomography with contrast media, followed by MRCP. This confirmed the presence of a fistulous pathway between the gallbladder and the skin. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with subtotal cholecystectomy with en block aponeurotic muscle, skin and fistula orifice excision.

Authors: Gulamhussein Mohamed A. , Chaudhry Samena , Mathur Keshav
Published: April 2018

Background: The main aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome of arthroscopic meniscal repairs for all isolated meniscal tears.

Methods: A total of 60 patients were included in our retrospective analysis, including all patients with isolated meniscal tears undergoing arthroscopic meniscal repairs from January to December 2015. All those patients who underwent menisectomies were excluded. Outcome measures involved location and type of tear, technique of repair, KOOS scoring system to analyse presence of post-op symptoms as well as the need for repeat surgery.

Results: Of the 60 patients, 46 (76.6%) had successful repairs with no post-op repeat symptoms at 6 and 12 months follow up. The remaining 14 patients (23.3%) underwent repeat surgery out of which 5 (35.7%) underwent partial menisectomies, 4 (28.6%) re-repairs, 3 (21.4%) re-repair and partial menisectomy and the remaining 2 patients, MACI procedure.

Conclusions: Arthroscopic repair of meniscal tears has shown to be an effective method of treating this surgical entity, meeting success rates comparable to published results. However, the gold standard repair method still needs to be identified.

Published: April 2018

Background: Low backache and sciatica is a common complaint signifying some underlying pathology; it may be a soft tissue strain or disc protrusion, or conditions such as neoplasm or ankylosing spondylitis besides others. We aim to assess the functional outcome of epidural steroid injection in patients with low backache and sciatica as well as the effect of pre operative duration of symptoms in Indian population presenting to our centre, on the post procedure outcome, if any.

Methods: 50 patients were evaluated with complaints of low backache and radiculopathy. They were subjected to following questionnaires including the ODI and VAS, and the scores were evaluated before and after the intervention, and at every follow up.

Results: Patients commonly affected were from 4th and 5th decade. The commonest intervertebral disc involved was L4-5 (44%) followed by L5-S1 (30%). Significant Functional status improvement according to ODI scoring was observed in all follow up visits. Similarly significant reduction in pain intensity according to VAS scoring was observed in all follow up visits. On comparing the improvement in functional status (ODI) and pain (VAS) between the 3 groups, it is seen that patients in group A had the highest rate of improvement, while patients in group C had the least improvement.

Conclusions: Caudal epidural injections are safe, effective and less expensive modality of treatment without any significant complications. The lesser the duration of symptoms i.e. earlier the patient presents, better are the results with caudal epidural injection.

Published: April 2018

Background: Sciatica resulting from a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is the most common cause of radicular leg pain in adult working population. It can be treated with both conservative and operative methods. In our study, surgical treatment of lumbar disc prolapse has been done by open discectomy. We wish to assess the outcome of surgery in patients with lumbar disc prolapse undergoing lumbar discectomy.

Methods: 40 patients were included in this study and were followed up for up to 1 year postoperatively. We assessed the outcome of each patient with ODI and VAS post-operatively and on follow-up at 3 weeks, 6 months and 1 year. Subjective evaluation of the patient’s satisfaction at the final follow-up was also done.

Results: We found that males had higher incidence of PIVD with an average duration of symptoms before surgery about 8.62 months. Left side was most involved and level l4-l5 was most involved level. The mean ODI and VAS score pre-operatively were 26.85±4.20 and 7.73±0.88 respectively, which changed to 4.48±5.15 and 1.70±1.57, respectively at 1 year post-operative follow-up. These were statistically highly significant. Most of the patients (34) gave a subjective evaluation as excellent at 1 year follow-up.

Conclusions: Our study established that open discectomy has a satisfactory functional outcome and leads to a significant improvement in the patients’ quality of life.

Published: April 2018

Este trabalho apresenta parte dos resultados da pesquisa intitulada“Mães do Cárcere: olhares sobre o feminino na Colônia Penal Feminina de Buíque/PE”, realizada ao longo do ano de 2015.Assim, o presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar algu mas intersecções construídas sobre o sentido da maternidade no cárcere, perfazendo o quadro acerca das condições dos espaços destinados às mulheres, com base em um cotidiano investigado.De abordagem qualitativa, esta pesquisa empírica articula algumas categorias analíticas extraídas da investigação a partir da técnica de Análise do Conteúdo (Bardin, 2002). Os resultados apresentado s neste estudo indicam que o estabelecimento prisional estudado nega e/ou exclui a condição de “ser mãe/mulher” no cárcere por meio de processos que a despersonalizam e que subalternizam s eus direitos reprodutivos. Conclui-se também que a maternidade é exercida a partir de meras regras de punição e/ou administração do espaço carcerário, sendo, mãe e criança, um mesmo corpo abjeto e objetificado neste espaço. Ainda, a pesquisa aponta que instrumentos importantes para a vivência dos direitos reprodutivos de mulheres mães presas, neste caso a Lei nº 11.942/2009, não tem alcançado repercussão no sistema carcerário, e, assim, garantias relacionadas à permanência do(a) filho(a) com a mãe, sobre o aleitamento, a preparação e a separação entre mães e bebês e outros aspectos base são instrumentalizados a partir do subjetivismo dos(as) agentes estatais.
The Hidden Variables Theory
Authors: Fried Israel
Published: April 2018

The book presents a new conception on several physics topics. The initial values are non-relativistic quantities of subatomic particles which the values obtained in experiments are actually their relativistic reflection. The subjects in the book are presented in such order that each new topic is based on the development of its predecessor that explains where it stems from. The book presents methods of analyzing traditional physics concepts to extract hidden embedded information that reveals new variables which are combined with those known. The new formulas yield instant results that match experiments accurately. It presents discoveries like: The origin of electric charge of subatomic particle stem from its OAM. The electron's zero OAM at ground state, which is interpreted as the OAM is not necessarily a motion related is explained by the Schrödinger's Quantum Numbers obtained differently then solving the wave function! The electron's mass is expressing the square of its magnetic flux quantum. The proton, neutron and all baryons consist of three energy levels on which the quarks are orbiting. The third energy level of 80.5 GEV plays a major role at the weak decaying force while it host charged mesons that are emitted out thru a W boson that acquires the level's energy. Baryons beyond the proton and neutron are a composition of a down and up quarks at the first and second energy levels, plus quarks in a bound state composition of charged bosons positioned at their third energy level, hence bypassing the Pauli Exclusion Principle restriction. The OAM of the orbiting quarks are a third or two thirds of the reduced Planck constant. The proton's missing spin stems from the contributions of the quark's OAM. The Electron is a bound state composition of negative Pi meson and electron's neutrino. Electrons in confined space are going through a process named "spin-charge separation", validated by an experiment conducted at Cambridge and Birmingham universities.

Published: April 2018

The article aims to deepen the discussion about the analysis of Brazilian foreign policy as a public policy. Without denying certain particularities of foreign policy, one can verify growing similarities between both areas since the inauguration of the Brazilian democratic regime in 1988. This new moment seems to be characterized by a progressive erosion of the proverbial "insulation" of Itamaraty as well as by an approximation of foreign policy to the interests of the Brazilian society.
A jegyzetelés pszicholingvisztikai vonatkozásai
Authors: Balla Nóra
Published: April 2018

A tanulmány célja a jegyzetelés pszicholingvisztikai vizsgálata, valamint egy ehhez megfelelő módszertan kidolgozása. A kutatás egy középiskolai tanár három osztályában készült jegyzeteket tekinti át: a 8., a 10. és a 12. évfolyamon. A vizsgálat azt tanulmányozza, hogy a jegyzetelési stratégiák hogyan változnak, egyrészt a nem, másrészt az életkor, vagyis a begyakorlottság viszonylatában. A kutatásból kiderült, hogy a diákok az életkor előrehaladtával egyre jobban képesek alkalmazni azokat a stratégiákat, amelyek a jegyzetelést és a lényegszűrést elősegítik, egyre többet és kreatívabban rövidítenek, amelynek köszönhetően több információ jelenik meg a füzetükben, ám a legnagyobb változás az egyéni stílus formálódásában és ennek jegyzetbeli megmutatkozásában figyelhető meg. A tanulmány kidolgozott módszertant is ismertet, amelynek a célja a jegyzetelés különböző aspektusainak a kiemelése és elemzése.
La búsqueda de la diferencia en la traducción
Authors: ECHEVERRÍA CARLOS I.
Published: April 2018

En contraste con trabajos anteriores en el ámbito de los estudios sobre la traducción que se han centrado en las dificultades para distanciarse del texto original y en la dependencia excesiva de la traducción “directa”, este artículo trata sobre el hábito que muestran algunos traductores de intentar de transmitir el contenido y los efectos textuales originales de un modo arbitrariamente divergente con respecto al material traducido, sin otra meta que la diferencia. Luego de un primer acercamiento al fenómeno, este se caracteriza como una empresa sin sentido que, al excluir las alternativas de la lengua meta que resultan más obvias, puede ocasionar diversos problemas al traductor. Finalmente, el trabajo concluye con una recapitulación y algunas proyecciones para futuros estudios.
Jovellanos: traductor de poesía inglesa en Andalucía
Authors: TORRALBO CABALLERO JUAN DE DIOS
Published: April 2018

Jovellanos llega a Sevilla a sus 24 años, en marzo de 1768, y reside en la ciudad andaluza durante una década, desde que toma posesión de la Alcaldía del Crimen de la Real Audiencia de Sevilla. Se relaciona con Pablo de Olavide para cuya tertulia presenta a concurso El delincuente honrado. Esta comedia sentimental registra el influjo de Destouches, La Chausée y Diderot. En Sevilla aprende inglés, precisamente para poder disfrutar de la literatura en esa lengua. Se interesa por poetas anglosajones de la talla de Milton, Dryden, Pope o Young entre otros. En la ciudad hispalense es donde traduce el primer canto de Paradise Lost, elevando de esta forma un hito en la historia de la traducción en nuestro país. Este trabajo indaga el periodo andaluz del reformador neoclásico asturiano centrándose en la maestría aplicada al traducir los versos del republicano inglés y estudiando su valor precursor en la literatura española. Con esta contribución pretendemos mostrar parte del valor contenido en el legado de Jovellanos, poético e intercultural.
Geertz versus Levi-Strauss: Latent structural dispositions in Geertz “theory of culture”?
Authors: Gorunović Gordana
Published: April 2018

These are two authors, in Foucauldian terms that certainly belong to the most influential individuals in socio-cultural anthropology, as well as in the social sciences and interdisciplinary research more broadly. Claude Levi-Strauss became some kind of an “intellectual hero” during the domination of structuralism in the mid-twentieth century and during the 1960s, while Clifford Geertz was an ‘icon and ambassador’ of anthropology in the second half of the twentieth century. They are both one of the founders of the discourse theory. They not only established a distinct theoretical approaches and methods – structural (Levi-Strauss) and interpretative anthropology (Clifford Geertz), but through their intellectual authority they also inspired paradigms and intellectual movements making structuralism and “interpretation of culture” more than some  passing episodes in the history of social though (in terms of “trendy ideas”).

            My aim is to make some parallels between these two authors, who despite all the differences that are evident in their epistemological discourses, theoretical approaches and methods (as well as in their ethnographic and anthropological writings itself) still have some similarities in their theorisation and interpretation of culture, which I would like to stress in this paper.

Innovációk keletkezése és terjedése egy budapesti általános iskolában
Authors: Fazekas Ágnes
Published: April 2018

Jelen tanulmány a helyi pedagógiai innovációk születésére és terjedésére fókuszálva mutatja be és elemzi egy különösen dinamikus és tudás-intenzív budapesti általános iskola innovációs tevékenységét. Az elemzés alapját az ELTE PPK Neveléstudományi Intézetében megvalósított „Innova kutatás” keretében végzett több napos intenzív terepmunka adta. Az esettanulmány az elemzett intézmény innovációs történéseit vizsgálja mintegy húszéves időtávra visszatekintve. Bemutat számos helyi innovációt: olyanokat, amelyek külső ösztönzők nyomán jöttek létre és olyanokat, amelyek keletkezése mögött pusztán belső motiváció állt; olyanokat, amelyek hosszú távon sikeresnek bizonyultak, és olyanokat, amelyek kudarcosan zárultak; olyanokat, amelyek elszigeteltek maradtak és olyanokat is, amelyek az intézményben széles körben elterjedtek. A tanulmány az iskola innovációs tevékenységét egy, eredetileg az egyes innovációk életének leírására alkalmazott elemzési keretrendszeren belül vizsgálja. Többek között bemutatja a jellemző konfliktus- és problémahelyzeteket az innovációs folyamatok különböző fázisaiban, így például az új ötletek gesztációja, a tervezés, a burjánzás, a visszaesés, az adaptálás és a lezárás kapcsán.

Authors: Khoiriyah Rihlatul , Imron Ali , Munif Ahmad , Munawaroh Lathifah
Published: April 2018

This paper intends to see the extent of legal awareness of the community in the village area of the santri against family law derived from national legal products. The results of the study show two main points, first, the understanding of Islamic civil law (marriage and inheritance) of Mangkang region society is dominated to the accepted understanding of classical fiqh. The people of Mangkang region are not anti-starch against the civil law of Islam issued by the state in the form of positive law. Although the Mangkang area people see that both are ijtihadiyah products, but the existence of Indonesian civil law that has an administrative effect on others makes them accept a good denan. Second, a persuasive approach in the form of a cultural approach is more readily accepted by citizens. Mangkang area people feel comfortable when invited to dialogue and discussion related to Islamic civil law of Indonesia. In the end, by reaching the common point and the good that might be obtained, Indonesian civil law can be understood and well accepted.

 

Tulisan ini bermaksud melihat sejauh mana kesadaran hukum masyarakat di wilayah kampung santri terhadap hukum keluarga yang bersumber dari produk hukum nasional. Hasil dari kajian menunjukkan dua hal pokok, pertama, pemahaman hukum perdata Islam (penikahan dan kewarisan)  masyarakat wilayah Mangkang didominasi kepada pemahaman yang diterima fiqh klasik. Masyarakat wilayah Mangkang tidak anti pati terhadap hukum perdata Islam yang dikeluarkan negara dalam bentuk hukum positif. Meskipun masyarakat wilayah Mangkang melihat bahwa keduanya merupakan produk ijtihadiyah, namun keberadaan hukum perdata Islam Indonesia yang memiliki dampak administratif kepada yang lainnya menjadikan mereka bisa menerima denan baik. Kedua, pendekatan persuasif dalam bentuk pendekatan budaya lebih mudah diterima oleh warga masyarakat. Masyarakat wilayah Mangkang merasa nyaman ketika diajak berdialog dan berdiskusi terkait hukum perdata Islam Indonesia. Pada akhirnya, dengan mencapai titik temu dan kebaikan yang mungkin akan didapat, hukum perdata Islam Indonesia bisa dipahami dan diterima dengan baik..
