The Destructive Impact of Computer Game Content on Juvenile Delinquency
Authors: Safin Fyarit , Bazhenov Alexandr
Published: March 2022

The authors analyze the determinants of juvenile crime from the standpoint of the impact of violent computer games on their mental health and delinquent behavior in the modern Russian society. The study is based upon the achievements in psychology and juvenile criminology. The object of the study is students of senior classes of secondary schools from three districts of Saint Petersburg with the most unfavorable criminological situation in the sphere of youth crime (275 persons), and juveniles with delinquent behavior and at least one criminal conviction who study in a specialized educational establishment (225 persons). The goal of the study was to examine the correlation between violent game content consumed by teenagers and their aggressive behavioral reactions. The obtained results proved three hypotheses that were put forward: 1) adolescents with a criminal record use game gadgets more often than their law-abiding peers, and prefer «dangerous» genres of computer games; 2) game content influences the behavioral reactions of such adolescents more intensively than it influences the reactions of their peers; 3) violent computer games do not weaken the aggression of modern teenagers and do not help to ease emotional tension. The obtained results allowed the authors to conclude that there is an evident trend for a growing role of game gadgets for the modern generation of teenagers, and their active use of violent computer games can act as one of the causes of their criminalization and the spread of juvenile crime in the Russian society. The conducted study may contribute to solving the research task of analyzing the causal complex and finding the relevant determinants of criminal behavior of modern adolescents.
Main Directions of Counteracting Intentional and Fraudulent Bankruptcy
Authors: Boskholov Sergey , Ivanova Anna
Published: March 2022

Crimes and crime-counteraction activities are among the key problems that any country faces in the modern world. Features typical only of crime — its mass character, irregularity and variability — make it necessary to constantly improve countermeasures that should be dynamic and proactive, should contain a considerable humanitarian potential, and contribute to the minimization of social consequences of crime. Russian legislators established a triad of key directions of counteracting criminality in general, its specific types, and individual crimes. Applying this concept of crime counteraction to intentional and fraudulent bankruptcy, the liability for which is provided for in Art. 196, 197 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the authors single out and examine the following directions: criminal law counteraction to intentional and fraudulent bankruptcy; prevention of intentional and fraudulent bankruptcy; minimization of negative consequences of intentional and fraudulent bankruptcy. Criminal law counteraction includes the detection, prevention, suppression, investigation and solving of criminal bankruptcy cases, as well as the prosecution of perpetrators. Talking about the criminal law counteraction to these crimes, the authors conclude that the effectiveness and productivity of the work of law enforcement bodies to suppress, investigate and solve crimes under Art. Art. 196, 197 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation directly depends on their close cooperation with various state control bodies, primarily, tax authorities, and on the quality of feedback. They present a list of specific measures of general, special and individual prevention of intentional and fraudulent bankruptcy, and offer a brief description of minimizing the negative consequences of these crimes. It is noted that the courts can use the following mechanisms to protect the violated rights of creditors: subsidiary liability of persons controlling the debtor, compensation of some part of damages by the controlling persons, all of which will contribute to the minimization of negative consequences of their unlawful actions.

EFFECT OF CLOSURE VERSUS NON-CLOSURE OF PARIETAL PERITONEUM AT CAESAREAN SECTION ON ADHESION FORMATION
Authors: Rahem Gona
Published: March 2022

Background 

Caesarean section (CS) is a standard obstetric procedure, and it is rate increasing worldwide. However, intra-abdominal adhesion is one complication of caesarean section and other obstetric and gynaecological surgeries.

Objectives 

This study aims to compare the frequency and severity of post-surgical adhesions among patients with closed and non-closed parietal peritoneum at their first caesarean section.

Patients and Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in maternity and private hospitals in Sulaymaniyah/Kurdistan/Iraq, from July 2015 to December 2020. Involved 190 pregnant ladies entered second CS at term. Patient records were then abstracted to assess prior CS techniques, including parietal peritoneal closure, which the same obstetrician did. A total of 190 patients were checked for that purpose; each was checked to know whether she has intra-abdominal adhesion or not and at the same time to know whether her previous CS was performed by peritoneal closure or not. The main parameters were adhesion formation in the second CS and the type of adhesion. The maternal age, occupation, parity, and gestational age were also recorded—Chi-square test used for statistical analysis of variables. 

Results

Based on the outcome, two groups (one with peritoneal closure and the other without it) were identified, they were compared regarding their maternal age, parity, gestational age and occupation. There was significantly more adhesion between the omentum and Scarpa fascia in the non-closure group (28.3%) compared to (13.1%) in the closure group with (p-value 0.01), which is significant. On the other hand, filmy adhesion was more in the closure group (63.6%), while thick adhesion was more in the non-closure group (53.3%) with (p-value 0.34), which is not significant. 

Conclusion

Parietal peritoneum closure at first caesarean section was associated with less adhesion formation. Therefore, the practice of non-closure of parietal peritoneum at caesarean delivery is not recommended.

Authors: Mzury Abdullah
Published: March 2022

Background 

Quality sleep is fundamental to human wellbeing. Healthcare providers are at the frontline of dealing with patients with COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019), rendering them more susceptible to sleep disturbance by different factors.

Objectives 

To observe sleep changes and the effect of lockdown on the duration and quality of sleep of health professionals and medical students during the COVI-19 pandemic in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Materials and Methods

This was a descriptive cross-sectional study; a self-administered questionnaire was sent to 500 health professionals and medical students online from 2nd July 2020 to 2nd September 2020. The questionnaire used was a part of a multinational study on sleep patterns in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic (International COVID-19 sleep study, ICCOS) after permission was obtained. All methods were performed in consistence with verified regulations and guidelines. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Data were entered by Microsoft Excel Worksheet

Results

A total of 304 individuals had responded to the online questionnaire; 53.6% were males. The mean age (in years) was 32.84 (± SD 11.65). The average night sleep and the average 24 hours sleep increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and there was a significant statistical difference in “dreaming” patterns of the study sample before and after the pandemic.

Conclusion

This study concludes that the quality of sleep and daytime function of participants were not impaired despite the worldwide and national stress of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the previous lifestyle of this group of population and their ability to spend more time with their families.
TWO YEARS WOUND FREE TO FOLLOW UP OF A CHRONIC PRESSURE SORE IN A PARAPLEGIC PATIENT AFTER PERFORMING THREE MUSCLE FLAPS: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Hassan Hawre , Qader Ari , Raouf Vyan , Zorab Shakhawan
Published: March 2022

Background 

Joint involvement underlying pressure sore is a challenge to manage because of the extensive tissue damage that usually requires wide debridement leaving behind significant defects to fill and the possibility of recurrence after reconstruction.

Case Presentation 

We present a case of large communicating ischial and trochanteric pressure sore with femoral head osteomyelitis in a paraplegic patient that was managed by femoral head resection and a musculocutaneous flap instead of lower limb amputation. Management of chronic pressure sores in neglected spinal cord injury patients requires teamwork to prevent a recurrence. We could give our patient a chance and save her lower limb from amputation by a combined vastuslateralis, vastusintermedius and rectus femoris flap (‘three muscle flap’) based on the lateral circumflex femoral artery following proximal femoral resection.

Conclusion

Our two years follow up showed that this method is effective for the management of large deep ischial pressure sores with no recurrence.

Published: March 2022

Acne, a common cutaneous disorder, is estimated to affect a significant proportion of the population at some point in their lifetime. It is one of the most common presentations reported in dermatological consultations in India. Treatment options for acne include topical, oral and procedural therapies. Patients with mild acne can be treated with topical therapies; however, those with moderate to severe acne require systemic cure. Oral antibiotic treatment, hormonal therapies and isotretinoin are the mainstay systemic therapies for acne. Additionally, procedural therapeutic modalities in dermatology include chemical peels, laser therapy, micro needling techniques, to name a few. Scientific advances are continually improving knowledge of acne and contributing to refinement of treatment options. Hence, it is vital for clinicians to regularly update their clinical practice patterns to reflect current standard. An experts’ panel discussion involving dermatologists from across India was conducted, to outline a practical approach for the management of acne. The present consensus document focuses on the assessment of acne, use of topical treatments, role of systemic therapy and procedures in treating acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It also emphasizes the role of patient education and counselling on prophylactic and treatment strategies in acne management.

Authors: Santharaj Swathi , Nagappa Preethan Kamagere
Published: March 2022

Background: The aims and objectives of the study was to assess the utility of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and ultrasound findings to predict severe cholecystitis and to identify an NLR, PLR cut off value that discriminates between simple and severe cholecystitis.Methods: A prospective observational time bound study was conducted with sample size of 100 patients from December 2019 to January 2021. Severe cholecystitis was defined as cholecystitis complicated by secondary changes like haemorrhage, gangrene, emphysema, abscess, perforation, carcinoma. NLR, PLR values were calculated from absolute neutrophil count and absolute lymphocyte count. All patients underwent ultrasound abdomen by the same radiologist and findings were grouped into three categories, luminal, mural and pericholecystic changes. Intraoperative findings, Histopathological examinations were also taken into account. Data was analysed using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Software Version 22. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was employed to identify optimal NLR, PLR cut off values and to predict combined accuracy of NLR, PLR and Ultrasound findings to predict severe cholecystitis.Results: In our study, 23% patients had severe cholecystitis. The mean age of patients was 46 years. 65% were females. Presence of calculi and presence of multiple calculi was higher in patients with severe cholecystitis (p value 0.25) calculated using Chi square test. Ultrasound findings of luminal, mural and pericholecystic changes were also found to be higher in severe cholecystitis (p<0.001). Mann whitney test showed mean NLR, PLR higher in severe cholecystitis. A Cut off NLR of 3.75 had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 77.92%. Length of hospital stay in patients with severe cholecystitis was longer.Conclusions: NLR of 3.75 is a cut off value to predict severe cholecystitis and prolonged length of hospital stay. Combined Predictive Accuracy of NLR, PLR, Ultrasound findings was 91%. Ultrasonography is a reliable, specific diagnostic tool.

Authors: Das Dibyendu
Published: March 2022

Reconstruction of soft tissue defect of hand and wrist is a common problem to plastic surgeon. I reconstructed the defect, both dorsal and palmar surface with a perforator-based flap from ulnar artery. The aim of the present study is to evaluate ulnar artery perforator flap in soft tissue defect of hand and wrist. Between January 2018 to February 2021, seven cases of skin defect were reconstructed with a perforator-based flap from ulnar artery, either pedicled or propeller type flap. The study was done at NRS medical college, Kolkata, where I have evaluated the viability of the flap, post-operative complication and patient’s satisfaction. All flaps survived, only in one case there was marginal necrosis that was treated conservatively. There was no post-operative complication, all flaps were doing well in six month and one year and one and half year follow up and patient’s satisfactions were also good. Ulnar artery perforator based fasciocutaneous flap, pedicled or propeller provides a reliable coverage of soft tissue defects of hand as well as wrist.

Environmental degradation is real and presents threats to all living habitat on earth. Thus, the inclusion of environmental issues for a language class is close to a must. This paper is intended to describe 1) the students’ perspective on using environmental topics for essay writing class, and 2) their problems when writing essay. The study uses a case study design. There were 17 students participated in the research. The instruments were interview and chat documentations. The data were collected in June 2021. All data are in the form of words and sentences. The result shows that 1) most of the students said that the environmental issues are informative, important, useful, needed, effective, real, and educative. The use of environmental issues helps them to enhance their environmental awareness; 2) almost all students have psychological problems when writing an essay, such as anxiety, nervousness, the feeling of pressure in timed writing, self- demand of perfect work, and low self-confidence. Yet, the psychological problems might be triggered by the demand of more readings about environmental issues to make the essay convincing. The result implies that content-based material discussing environmental topic should be incorporated into EFL writing class.

Communicative Language Teaching Approach Potential for English Language Teaching
Authors: Kurniawan Agung Budi , . Sumani
Published: March 2022

Communicative language teaching or CLT has some potential benefits to be applied for English language teaching or ELT. This article reviews some previous studies about the potential based on library study. The potential could be gained for the scope of material, pedagogic process, and teachers’ and students’ competence. The materials could be extended as large as possible, but it is still limited for proper issues. Materials based on real-life or daily life contexts are recommended to be applied, and artificial materials should be avoided. The pedagogic process could be improved because the communicative approach brings social skills for students. It could be applied to both young and adult learners. English teachers could also develop their skills as managers of classroom interaction. Moreover, students could gain communicative competence for social purposes because it is the main purpose of CLT. CLT is an approach that does not provide a specific method. Teachers must decide appropriate single or combination of methods to gain communicative competence for the field application. The main conclusion is that CLT is recommended for a language teaching program whose purpose is to give communicative competence.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the education system in Indonesia from conventional offline classes to online classes. This sudden change has influenced the process of learning both positively and negatively. To some extent, online learning is considered advantageous; however, for prolonged use, it has some evident drawbacks. The pros and cons of online learning are also experienced by the students of English Literature at UNARS. Accordingly, a survey was conducted among 62 students to see how they perceived online learning. This research also examined how online learning has affected the students’ study of English. The results showed that even though online learning was considered to not be as pleasant as offline learning, online learning was rated as somewhat enjoyable by 45.2% of the students.

Published: March 2022

This study is intended to investigate the levels and areas of mastery and non-mastery of senior and junior EFL teachers’ pedagogical knowledge (PK) in the Indonesian context. Involving 60 participants consisting of 24 senior EFL teachers of junior high schools and 36 junior EFL teachers who joined PPG, this study made use of a set of a questionnaire comprising 25 items. The data were analyzed quantitatively by employing Descriptive Statistics and T-Test. The data analysis shows that there is no statistically significant difference/level between senior and junior EFL teachers’ pedagogical knowledge. Although their scores are not significantly different, senior EFL teachers know not better than those of junior EFL teachers. There are more aspects of PK they do not know. Senior EFL teachers are fully weak in dealing with the teaching profession, ELT theory, and research, while junior EFL teachers are fully weak in the teaching profession and ELT theory. Based on these findings, EFL teachers are suggested to join more workshops, training, and seminar to improve their pedagogical knowledge. Reading and writing activities are also useful to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of PK.

Authors: Rachmajanti Sri , Ariani Nova , Karmina Sari , Heki Sujiatmoko Ahmad
Published: March 2022

In the domain of education, great teachers are those who facilitate students’ learning effectively in an inspiring learning environment. Therefore, they should continuously develop and empower their professional and pedagogical competencies. In fact, there emerge abundant ways to empower themselves, and one of which is through the so-called ‘reflective training’. As empirical evidence, English teachers in specific primary schools have not reached the expected level of CEFR criteria for creative writing (B1 at the minimum). For this reason, this study adopted action research via the implementation of reflective training to enhance the subjects’ creative writing skills in one cycle incorporating planning, taking action(s), observing, and reflecting. Three instruments were employed, i.e., writing tasks, observation sheets, and questionnaires. Creative writing rubrics were taken from CEFR and Mozaffari to evaluate teachers’ writing. The training made the teachers engaged in producing a piece of creating writing as output and allow them to reflect and improve it with the elements of creative writing aspects namely image, characterization, voice, and story. Teachers have successfully completed their writings with theories and skills in their writing products to reach the B2 CEFR level in creative writing.

Representing Invisible Politics of Shakespearian Plays in Orson Welles’ Chimes at Midnight
Authors: Wahyu Widodo Herditya
Published: March 2022

The full construction of the main character Falstaff, as a figure in the Shakespearean movie adaptation Chimes at Midnight, exists through the intertextual relationship between the film and the original Shakespearian plays. In this study, I argue that much of this intertextual material is non-existent in the film, but relies in its availability the audience’s own mind watching the film. By merely hinting at an incomplete material, the film recreates the entire feeling of a seemingly complete Shakespearean material with its original political preoccupations. This illusion of the complete text is shown in the isolated battle scenes that do not contribute much to the development of Falstaff, and the impotent military imageries in the film. However, the scenes where Falstaff’s foils are presented: the Earl of Worcester’s lies and the dying lamentations of Hotspur, are more evidently meant to give the impression that the film significantly adapt the original plays’ political motives that the film do not really concern itself with.

EFL Students’ Use of the Verb ‘See’: A Conceptual Metaphor Analysis
Authors: Zubaidi Nanang , Nasihah Durotun
Published: March 2022

This study investigated Indonesian EFL university students’ use of conceptual metaphor with the English perception verb ‘see’. The idea of a conceptual metaphor refers to how people understand someone's idea represented by linguistics elements. The use of perception verbs in everyday life combined with other words that do not correlate with the five senses can inform readers of the state of language use in certain contexts. The methods employed in this research were descriptive and qualitative. The data were collected from the essays of Indonesian EFL university students (n = 27 students and 390 essays) and were processed and analyzed using AntFileConverter and AntConc concordance software. The researchers classified the perception verb ‘see’ based on its form, structure and meaning, and analyzed the conceptual metaphors. Five concepts of metaphors were found for the English perception verb ‘see’, including impression, fantasy, understanding, assumption, and prediction.

MTHFD2 Expression Profile and Its Prognostic Importance in Invasive Breast Carcinoma
Authors: Arslan Remzi , Ceylan Onur
Published: March 2022

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Therefore, it is very important to determine prognostic parameters and biomarkers related to these parameters. Recent studies have shown that folate metabolism is effective on cell division and invasiveness. One of the most important regulators of folate metabolism is the methylene tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase enzyme (MTHFD2).
Method:  This study, immunohistochemical staining with MTHFD2 was performed in 194 cases diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma. The relationship between the immunohistochemical expression of MTHFD2 in normal ductal areas and invasive tumoral areas of these cases and some clinicopathological parameters was investigated.
Results: While no expression was observed in non-tumor areas with MTHFD2, varying degrees of expression were observed in all tumor areas (p<0.0001). Significant correlations were also observed between important clinicopathological and prognostic parameters such as MTHFD2 nuclear grade, hormonal receptor, Ki67 and etc. (all p<0.05).
Conclusion: High MTHFD2 expression in breast carcinomas with invasive and poor prognostic values ​​was determined to be very significant. Therefore, it can be predicted that detecting and lowering MTHFD2 levels in these cases may prevent tumor development, invasion and metastasis. We think that more studies on the subject are needed, including the development of chemotherapeutics targeting MTHFD2.

Authors: Huvaid Sevilla Ukhtil , Hidayat Hilda , Yulianita
Published: March 2022

The common knowledge of elderly posyandu cadres in Nagari Tapakis hurts their performance in the field. The initial survey results showed that the elderly posyandu cadres had just been formed; so far, the assigned cadres were toddler’s posyandu cadres. This makes the cadres have a double burden so that the activities of the elderly posyandu are less active even though they already exist. Since establishing the elderly posyandu cadres, no training has been held for cadres related to their primary duties and functions. The service method used is lecture, discussion, practice, and pre-test and post-test work. The training material focuses on techniques for managing the elderly posyandu and health services for the elderly that must be carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic era. Participants in the activity included 18 elderly posyandu cadres in Nagari Tapakis. On August 27, 2021, the action took place at the Tapakis Mayor's Office. The results obtained in training involving 18 elderly posyandu health cadres generally showed encouraging things. The participants responded positively and were very enthusiastic about participating in the training activities during the material presentation and discussion sessions. The pre-test and post-test values also showed a change in the form of an increase in respondents' knowledge; this was evidenced by the difference in the average understanding of respondents before counseling (13.2) and after counseling ( 16.8) with p = 0.000.
La ciencia en sí misma y la ciencia en nosotros: en torno al rol de la epistḗmē en el Fedro
Authors: García Gabriel
Published: March 2022

La visión del τόπος ὑπερουράνιος en el Fedro se describe a partir de tres contenidos: la justicia (δικαιοσύνη), la sensatez (σωφροσύνη) y la ciencia (ἐπιστήμη). Solamente de esta última se brinda una mayor precisión (247d6-e2). En “‘Der Geistcharakter des Überhimmlischen Raumes’. Zur Korrektur der herrschenden Auffassung von Phaidros 247c-e”, W. Schwabe mostró que este pasaje distingue necesariamente la ciencia “en lo que es” de la ciencia “en lo que ahora denominamos seres”, y que esta última remite a la ciencia como práctica humana de adquisición y transmisión de conocimiento. Luego de revisar sus principales argumentos, examinaré esta distinción en el diálogo completo, especialmente respecto de la ciencia “en lo que ahora denominamos seres”, en dos momentos: 1) el resultado de la visión de la ciencia como memoria, μνήμη, cuando el alma regresa al ámbito sensible, así como su recuperación en la relación erótica (ambos temas de la palinodia) y 2) la forma como se relacionan memoria y ciencia en la transmisión del conocimiento, en la crítica de la escritura. La identificación de la ciencia con la “semilla inmortal” contenida en los discursos del dialéctico (276e5-277a4) se vinculará al análisis de la procreación en la belleza en el Banquete y se mostrará que la ἐπιστήμη, en tanto contenido de los λόγοι, expresa la relación dinámica entre las ideas. La diferencia entre la “ciencia en sí” y la “ciencia en nosotros” exige, por tanto, concebirla como un “rasgo estructural” del ámbito eidético, del mismo modo que la justicia en la República (500c3-4) y, cabe suponer, la sensatez.

Published: March 2022

Las últimas décadas de crecimiento nos han demostrado que la actividad inmobiliaria es un facilitador de la actividad económica, no solo porque promueve fuentes de empleo; sino también porque los bienes relacionados con el sector inmobiliario representan una clase de activos atractiva para los inversores institucionales, como los fondos de pensiones, las compañías de seguros o fondos mutuos de inversión, y precisamente por ello, las reglas tributarias (a nivel legal o jurisprudencial) que les resulten aplicables, deberían colaborar a brindar predictibilidad en la determinación de resultados. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo de investigación busca analizar la reglamentación tributaria del Impuesto a la Renta respecto a los gastos en que incurren las empresas inmobiliarias de Lima Metropolitana antes de y durante la etapa de construcción, luego se revelará los conceptos contenidos en la normativa tributaria que debido a su generalidad, exponen a las empresas inmobiliarias a incurrir en errores de interpretación y por ende a acotaciones fiscales, seguidamente se revisarán los criterios tomados en cuenta por los operadores tributarios (SUNAT y TRIBUNAL FISCAL) para efectos de procurar suplir los déficits de conceptualización respecto a la oportunidad y deducibilidad de los gastos incurridos en etapa de construcción; asimismo, se podrá verificar el tratamiento que para situaciones similares se ha establecido en países como Colombia, Costa Rica, México y Chile. Finalmente se presenta una propuesta de modificación en la Ley del impuesto a la Renta a fin de dotar de mayor transparencia el tratamiento de gastos pre operativos.
Farmer Field Schools: building capacities to achieve a successful agroecological transition

The agroecological transition implies rethinking the way farmers are supported in their changes in practices. Farmer Field Schools are an effective mechanism in this respect, since they build farmers’ capacity to experiment, to produce knowledge and to innovate independently. However, it is essential that these advisory services are correctly implemented, which has implications for the research and development community. A study conducted in sub-Saharan Africa shows that after taking part in Farmer Field Schools, farmers are more likely to make changes on their own farms if they have been involved in the decision-making process for the Farmer Field School. These changes can be highlighted by qualitative assessment methods centred on the contribution to impact. Farmer Field Schools also stand to gain from including women, young people and the poorest farmers, categories that are often excluded from conventional agricultural advisory services, but recognised as drivers of agroecological innovation. Finally, there must be room for the objectives of Farmer Field Schools to evolve over time, in order to adjust to local conditions, whether environmental or socio-economic.
