Published: January 2023

Background Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) procedures in the early 90's as laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) and totally extra peritoneal repair (TEP), have gained popularity worldwide over open hernia mesh repair with low recurrences, complications and early return to work and activities. This retrospective study aims to compare the two laparoscopic procedures regarding various parameters like duration of surgery, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay in various ages and different sexes as described in the methodology.
Methods This is a retrospective study for over 2 years which included patients with unilateral inguinal hernia both direct and indirect using either (TAAP) or (TEP) technique.
Results Among sixty patients with an inguinal hernia, 30 patients had undergone (TAPP) and 30 had undergone (TEP). The duration of surgery for (TAPP) was observed 111.03±13.71 minutes which was significantly higher than that of (TEP) (92.80±8.24 minutes) at P<0.001. The pain score at 6 hours for (TEP) was 6.97±1.01 in comparison to 8±0.00 for (TAPP) (P<0.001). The pain score at 24 hours for (TAPP) was 5.18±1.00 in contrast to 4.27±0.70 for (TEP) (P<0.001).
Conclusion Both (TAPP) and (TEP) are feasible surgical options to treat an inguinal hernia. (TAPP) had significantly longer operating time and more early post-operative pain as compared to (TEP). However, there was no significant difference in hospital stay, post-operative complications in both the group.

Published: January 2023

Background Titanium Elastic Nail (TEN) is used for fixation of diaphyseal fractures of paediatric long bone, where the medullary canal is thin or flexibility of the implant is a chief concern. These are used for biologically and minimally invasive fracture treatment that delivers accurate reduction and stabilization in appropriate paediatric age group
Methods A hospital based 18 months (from December 2020 to July 2022), retrospective study was conducted at Devdaha Medical College and Research Institute, Rupandehi, Nepal with the patients of paediatric long bone fractures who were operated with an elastic titanium intramedullary nail for diaphyseal fractures. Records of the surgical procedure and the follow-up outcomes were all recorded and the data was collected and tabulated in excel sheet for statistical analysis. The total number of patients in the study were 25 wherein, 20 were male and 5 were female.
Results Children ranging from age 4 to 15 years of age were included with mean age of 9.44 years. Average hospital stay was 4 days having standard deviation of 1.68. Statistical analysis yielded z value of 2.97 and p-value of 0.003 which was significant. Most of the patients reported injury in the left side 17(68%) than right side 8(32%). Majority of the injury was sustained in forearm 18(72%) followed by femur 4(16%) and tibia 3(12%). Fall on the ground 14(56%) was commonest mode of injury followed by road traffic accident (RTA) 5(20%), fall from tree 3(12%), fall from bicycle 2(8%) and sports injury 1(4%) respectively. The average time to fracture union was 9.84 ± 2.93 weeks. Only 4 patients had complication, in which 2 had superficial surgical site infection and nopatient had Limb Length Discrepancy or non-union.
Conclusion TENS for diaphyseal fracture is not only a safe, minimally invasive technique with shorter operating time but also helps in preservation of accurate bone alignment and encourages quicker bone healing.

Published: January 2023

We herein report an unusual case of maternal road traffic accident with blunt trauma to the abdomen at 34 weeks of gestation followed by delivery of severely encephalopathic baby and also a brief review of similar previous reports.The baby had near normal transition, then progressively developed severe encephalopathy and multiple organ dysfunction attributed mainly to the intrauterine traumatic injury. The baby had multiple intra and extra axial bleeds,cerebral edema and diffuse axonal injury, as revealed by the CT scan. The baby was managed conservatively with various neuroprotective strategies similar to management in older children and thus cerebral edema/ hematomas subsided. The baby required ventilatory support, prolonged assisted ventilation/oxygen and the metabolic derangements were managed accordingly. The baby was discharged on oral Levetiracetam, multivitamins and nasogastric tube feeds. Baby was followed up sequentially till day 74 and on physical examination had poor head growth and increased muscle tone of the extremities. Neuroimaging revealed diffuse multicystic leukoencephalomalacia, hydrocephalus ex vacuo with cortical thinning.
Intrauterine fetal brain injury is an uncommon incidence which causes mortality and significant morbidity in the child. Neuroimaging of the fetus after trauma to the mother can lead to early diagnosis and anticipation. Early vigorous neuroprotective measures and management may prevent mortality and reduce further brain insult in theseneonates. There is paucity of information on management of such cases thus they should be reported in detail forstudy and future references.

Does the Advent of Federal Democracy and Madheshi Movement Significantly Successful to alter the Lives of Madheshi Dalit ? (A Study of Inaruwa Municipality, Sunsari District)
Authors: Oli Jagadish
Published: January 2023

The Madheshi Dalits of Nepal fall below the national average for human development. They are also denied from basic human rights. In this article, researcher has examined the socio economic situation of Madheshi Dalits of eastern Tarai after Madesh movement and the country of Nepal attained Federal Democracy. The study is founded on a design for qualitative and quantitative research. It is conducted in Inarwa Municipality ward no 9 and sample of Dalit people, Dom, Khatwe, Paswan, Mushahar, and Chamar people is used. Interview schedule, observation, and case study methods have been used in the process of data collection. Data descriptively evaluated and has presented using basic statistical methods. The study has reached in conclusion that social and economic exclusion, inequality, and caste-based discrimination, illiteracy are equally significant contributors to the underdevelopment and poverty in the Madheshi Dalit community. The Madheshi caste-based Hindu hierarchical culture and prejudice are also significant among them. According to the study, the advent of federal democracy and Madhesh movement in Nepal did not significantly alter the lives of the Dalit community. Still prevalent are societal injustices like poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and violence. Increased in political engagement of Dalit activists have all had a significant impact on the study area's Dalit population. They know very little about Dalit's political rights and freedoms, as well as Dalit representation in local government. They have started to speak out about equal representation of man and women in local government and against many forms of social prejudice and violence both within and outside the group.
Diasporic Subjects in Multicultural World in Mukharjee's Stories
Authors: Ghimire Kusum
Published: January 2023

The present paper argues that globalization has created diasporas subjects among immigrants communities as they go through a number of adjustment in the host culture. As recorded by Bharati Mukherjee in her story collection Middleman and Other Stories the protagonists have to constantly adopt and adapt new forms of hybridity in the US. With an advent of globalization, people started migrating into first world in search of better opportunities and social security, but the cultural differences always played a role in determining their identities. In other words, globalization opened the space for multiculturalism, and multiculturalism, in turn, bore diasporic subjects. This immigrants thus lived with an identity that they can’t claim to be their own. They always struggle, constantly adopting and adapting a newer and newer form of identity negotiated heavily in a cross cultural setting.

Published: January 2023

This paper applies the mix-method approach (both quantitative and qualitative methods) through survey data from Gaikhur and Taple villages of Gorkha district (408 Hill Dalit households and 210 non-Dalit households).The caste hierarchy and varna system created the caste-based discrimination and untouchability practice in Nepal. This paper also explores that because of caste-based discrimination including untouchability prevailed in the villages studies non-Dalits discriminates Dalits in education and participation inreligious and cultural functions in the villages. Further, Dalits are deprivedof household income generation as compared to that of non-Dalits. Data also reveals that Dalits are deprived of political participation as compared to that of non-Dalits. Within Hill Dalits, the so-called low caste Dalits (Damai and Gaine) have also deprived in education, household income and political as well as cultural participation as compared to that of high caste Dalits (Sarki and Kami).

Mit dem Kinderheim auf der Flucht - Annemarie Wolff-Richter (1900–1945), Heilpädagogin im Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus. Biografie
Authors: Sindram Marina
Published: January 2023

Annemarie Wolff-Richter war in den 1930er-Jahren keine Unbekannte: Sie leitete während der Weimarer Republik ein fortschrittliches Erziehungsheim in Berlin, ein Vorzeigeprojekt der Kinder- und Jugendpflege. Im Nationalsozialismus unterstützte sie den Widerstand, leistete Fluchthilfe und versteckte jüdische Verfolgte. Schliesslich mussten sie und die Kinder fliehen. Ihre Tochter, Ursula Wolff, war sieben Jahre alt, als sie 1937 um ein Haar in die Fänge der Gestapo gerieten. Doch sie entkamen ebenso wie eine Schar weiterer Kinder. Dies gelang auch dank der Hilfe des Widerstandskämpfers Ernst Ludwig Heuss. Der Sohn des späteren Bundespräsidenten Theodor Heuss sollte viele Jahre nach dem Krieg Ursulas Ehemann werden. Die Flucht führte sie nach Kroatien, wo sich Annemarie nach der Okkupation Jugoslawiens 1941 den Partisanen anschloss, bis die Faschisten sie aufspürten. 1945 wurde sie im Konzentrationslager Jasenovac umgebracht.
Die Biografie von Annemarie Wolff-Richter ist ein eindrucksvolles und berührendes Zeitzeugnis. Es steht für das Schicksal von Menschen, die unter der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft nach humanitären Grundsätzen lebten und wirkten. Sie wurden gnadenlos verfolgt und sind dennoch mit Mut und Verantwortung bis zuletzt für ihre Überzeugungen eingestanden.
Ludwig Theodor Heuss und die Politologin Marina Sindram haben sie nach den Erinnerungen der Tochter Ursula Heuss-Wolff verfasst und um Dokumente aus dem Privatarchiv und von Weggefährten ergänzt.

Authors:   Omsk State Agrarian University named after P.A. Stolypin, Omsk, Russia, Jurk Natalia A.
Published: January 2023

The food safety management system is created and implemented using the well-known PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach. A HACCP plan and (or) a similar PRPo plan is being developed based on hazard analysis and validation of selected activities with a verification procedure and a traceability system. This will allow you to quickly manage potential hazards in the production of food products. Based on the results of previous studies, all possible dangerous factors that arise during the production of the product – the object of research have been identified. In accordance with the principles of the “question-answer” system, measures have been defined to manage hazards arising in the process of manufacturing products. The selected activities served as the basis for the development of the PRPo plan, which includes: selection and justification of management measures with indication of hazards, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification. The plan is a controlled document describing how all food safety hazards are managed and controlled during production.

The article presents an analysis of the participation of peasant (farmer) farms in the rural economy, and hence in the spatial development of Russia. The article identifies and groups the main problems reflected in the Spatial Development Strategy of Russia that hinder the positive dynamics of the development of the social sphere, depending on the impact of the efficiency of the farming sector on their solution. Using the methods of economic and statistical evaluation of the dynamics series over 30 years and extrapolation of the trends obtained for individual production indicators, the authors proved that the participation of farm owners in the production of agricultural products will increase in the near future, which will ensure employment and income growth in rural areas. At the same time, the efficiency of farming is not yet adequate to its potential. Based on the analysis, the authors have developed proposals to improve the basic characteristics of the economic model of effective farming: number, concentration, specialization, resource provision, participation in the process of cooperation, profitability. Particular attention is paid to the review of the directions of diversification of farming activities due to its non-agricultural types, the participation of farm owners in solving social problems of rural areas and the development of rural infrastructure.
New forms of cooperatives in the agricultural sector of the economy as the basis of its spatial development
Authors:   Federal Scientific Center for Agrarian Economics and Social Development of Rural Territories VNIIESH, Moscow, Russia, Moiseeva Olga A.
Published: January 2023

The spatial development of the industry takes place in various climatic, industrial and economic conditions. Despite the growth in production volumes, which has been observed in the dynamics of the last three decades, small business entities with formally equal relationships with counterparties regarding the purchase of means of production, processing or sale of products, do not have the opportunity to influence prices, being in an unequal position compared to other market participants and accepting the specified conditions. The laws on cooperation and programs in force in the country have not led to an increase in the coverage of cooperatives by most producers, unlike in many countries with a developed cooperative system, where most of them are members of at least one cooperative. With this approach, the farmer remains a legally independent subject of the market, has the opportunity to concentrate mainly on the production process, while the cooperative solves the issues of providing him with resources, logistics, marketing, etc. The spatial development of agriculture is associated with the improvement of the regulatory framework in the field of cooperation, the creation of new forms of cooperatives, the introduction of the most favored nation regime for them, and an increase in government support.

The article considers the features of the formation of human capital of agricultural organizations. Developed human capital contributes to improving the financial condition of organizations and, as a result, improving the well-being and quality of life of the rural population itself. In this regard, it is necessary to take measures on the part of the state to form the attractiveness of rural areas. It is necessary to involve state authorities in the processes of human resource management along with providing agricultural organizations with domestic machinery and equipment, the introduction of technological innovations. The consolidation of qualified specialists in rural areas should be ensured, in particular, through additional measures to increase the level of wages, as well as to promote the employment of graduates of agricultural educational institutions. The costs of agricultural producers associated with attracting qualified specialists and improving the skills of workers can be covered at the expense of state support.
EFFECT OF ANODIZING VOLTAGE ON THE PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF FILMS FORMED BY TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOTUBES
Authors:   E.A. Buketov, Karaganda University, Karaganda, Kazakhstan, Serikov T.M.
Published: January 2023

The influence of the anodizing voltage during synthesis on the specific surface area and on the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanotube was studied. Films formed by titanium dioxide nanotubes were obtained on the surface of titanium foil by electrochemical anodizing. It has been found that an increase in the anodizing voltage from 20 V to 60 V leads to an increase in the inner and outer diameters of nanotubes, an increase in the growth rate and the interpore distance of nanotubes. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by measuring the magnitude of the photoinduced current. The film produced at low voltage generated a current 3.5 times higher than the film produced at high voltage, and the degradation of the dye in the presence of the films was 75 and 38%, respectively, over the same period of time. An increase in the photocatalytic activity of the films is mainly associated with an increase in the specific surface area of the nanotubes. Thus, the values of the specific surface area of TiO2 nanotubes were determined by the method of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. It has been established that with an increase in the anodizing voltage, the specific surface area of the films decreases.
CARBON FOOTPRINT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR EXISTING AND PROMISING THERMAL POWER PLANTS
Authors:   National Research University “Moscow Power Engineering Institute”, Moscow, Russian Federation, Rogalev N.D.
Published: January 2023

The power production industry is the main greenhouse gas emitter that makes its contribution to global warming. The greenhouse gas emission takes place in fuel production, transportation, and combustion. A prospective method for emission mitigation is the transition to organic fuel-burning facilities with small emissions by capturing carbon dioxide. Power consumption on the carbon dioxide capture remarkably reduces the efficiency of these facilities, which leads to increasing of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission because of the larger fuel production and transportation. Based on the material balance method, taking into account system effect of changes in efficiency and amount of fuel consumed, the paper estimated the carbon footprint over a twenty-year lifecycle for following thermal power plants types: combined cycle and oxy-fuel combustion plants for both natural gas and coal with internal gasification. It is shown that the transition to oxygen-fuel plants can reduce the carbon footprint near 90% for natural gas and near 75% for coal. The study also demonstrates the positive effect of carbon capture and storage system implementation for reducing carbon footprint near 75% for natural gas and near 70% for coal.

The current research was carried out over the course of a year, from Jan 2022 to June 2022, among sexually active females of reproductive age between 18 and 40 years, who visited the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Out of 120 women who had symptomatic vaginal secretions, 62 patients (51.67%) were in the 18–28 age range, followed by 39 patients (32.5%) in the 29–39 age range, and 19 patients (15.83%) in the 40–45 age range. Chlamydia trachomatis and Candida were discovered in 21 and 26 women, respectively, accounting for 17.5% and 21.67% of infections, but bacterial vaginosis infections were common in women (n=59), representing approximately 49.16% of scenarios. The majority of the patients (n=62; 51.67% and n=29; 24.16%) exhibited homogeneous and mucopurulent discharge respectively. Low socioeconomic class, premature sexual activity, and recognized genetic factors for unusual vaginal secretions, are one of the important risk factors that cause mortality in women in the form of lack of self, reduced work time, more hospital visits, and miscarriage. To assess the potential health benefits, thorough economic studies must be conducted after these experiments. It can assist doctors in implementing the proper antimicrobial therapy to treat these illnesses, avoid long-term complications, as well as avoid overdiagnosis and the emergence of antibiotic resistance.

Background:

Balance impairment is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). As opposed to the effects of appendicular motor symptoms, the effects of Levodopa on balance impairment in idiopathic PD are less clear.

Objective:

To review the literature on the effects of oral Levodopa on clinical balance test performance, posturography, step initiation, and responses to perturbation in people with idiopathic PD (PwPD).

Methods:

A systematic search of three scientific databases (Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science) was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. For the pilot meta-analysis, standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using an inverse variance random effects model. Data not suitable for implementation in the meta-analysis (missing means or standard deviations, and non-independent outcomes) were analyzed narratively.

Results:

A total of 2772 unique studies were retrieved, of which 18 met the eligibility criteria and were analyzed, including data of 710 idiopathic PwPD. Levodopa had a significant positive effect on the Berg Balance Scale, the Push and Release test, and jerk and frequency parameters during posturography. In contrast, some significant negative effects on velocity-based sway parameters were found during posturography and step initiation. However, Levodopa had no significant effect on most step initiation- and all perturbation parameters.

Conclusion:

The effects of Levodopa on balance in PwPD vary depending on the outcome parameters and patient inclusion criteria. A systematic approach with well-defined outcome parameters, and prespecified, sensitive and reliable tests is needed in future studies to unravel the effects of oral Levodopa on balance.

Published: January 2023

Based on the Digital Civility Index (DCI), Indonesian internet users have the lowest Digital Civilization Index in Southeast Asia. This phenomenon is evident from the rise of fake news or hoaxes, hate speech, cyberbullying, discrimination, and even fraud. Modernization has also made people's lifestyles more consumptive. Indonesia is also a religious country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Indonesia is ready to face the coming era of what is known as the era of society 5.0. This article analyzes the public perception of urban society in Semarang city of the importance of religious education in their lives and how it is used as an aspect of curriculum development in the era of society 5.0. This research is qualitative research using a method of phenomenology. Data was collected from interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that contextualization of the Islamic religious education curriculum is needed to suit the needs of society in the era of society 5.0. Islamic religious education teaches students the physical dimension (shari'a) and the spiritual dimension (essential) so that Islamic religious education can foster spirituality for urban Muslim communities as a basis for values in everyday behaviour. Islamic religious education must instil the importance of monotheism and ethics in utilizing technology. The era of society 5.0 makes humans the centre (anthropocentric), while Islamic religious education instils the value that God is the centre (theocentric).

Authors: Marks David F
Published: January 2023

Despite evidence of physiological and cellular abnormalities in myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), the dominant therapeutic approach has been cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET).  Patients report distress and dissatisfaction following healthcare encounters based on GET and CBT. A significant body of research suggests that CBT and GET are harmful for many patients with ME/CFS. These findings raise ethical concerns and suggest that more collaborative working between scientists, therapists and patients would be helpful in making scientific progress in this difficult field.
USING THE FAULT TREE AS A LOGICAL-PROBABILISTIC METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF SHIP ELECTRIC MOTORS

Published: January 2023

Despite the progress in research and development of designs of modern electric motors for industrial enterprises for various purposes, including marine electric motors, reliable methods for determining the causes of their failures have not yet been created, and the application of well-known methods in practice, including diagnosing the technical condition of engines, not only requires a lot of labor and highly qualified personnel, but in many cases it is actually inefficient. This is especially true of severe operational damage arising from the destruction of parts and accompanied by a violation of the synchronization of their reciprocating and rotational motion. On the other hand, the performed study shows that the causes of malfunctions and failures of electric motors can also be determined by logical and probabilistic methods, including on the basis of fault tree analysis involving the results of research on various faults. By structuring the signs of failures, a failure tree was compiled that logically describes the cause-and-effect relationships between the failure event and the initial damage that caused it separately for each of the failure modes selected for analysis associated with severe damage to the electric motors of the type under study. As a result of using the fault tree in practice, it is possible to determine the causes of failure of electric motors and electric motors with automatic control systems with sufficient reliability and minimal time.

Nowadays, railway transport is the most developed in Ukraine. It is the heart of transport services for individuals and legal entities, without it is difficult to imagine the normal functioning of production facilities and logistics firms. Rail transport also occupies the main place among domestic traffic. Passenger transportation occupies a significant place in the work of transport, so suburban transportation occupies the second place in terms of mass transportation after intercity transportation by automobile transport . The demand for this type of transportation can be called elastic, since there is an impact of seasonality on transportation, for example, the beginning and ending of academic semesters, vacation time. Therefore, it is advisable to consider tourist trains that could run on sections of the Dnіpro-Pіvdennij station – Apostolovo station, Dnіpro-Pіvdennij station – Surskoye station, Dnіpro-Pіvdennij station – Zhovtokamenka station, Dnіpro-Pіvdennij station – Elizarovo station. The article provides graphs of the movement of these trains, allowing passengers to visit attractions along the entire route. Consequently, tourist routes can improve the development of tourism throughout Ukraine, and not popular destinations. This may result in increased demand for tourist trains, increased monetization of passenger transportation, thereby improving passenger comfort.
RESEARCH OF PROCESSING INTERMODAL TRANSPORT UNITS AT THE TERMINAL IN THE "SINGLE WINDOW" CONCEPT
Authors: Koskina Y. , Drozhzhyn O.
Published: January 2023

The paper examines operations that take place at the sea container terminal in the context of a unified system of information exchange between participants in intermodal cargo transportation. The study aims to formalize the cargo handling process at the sea container terminal through the temporal logic apparatus, which allows for the distribution of the processes necessary for the cargo lots forwarding formalities at the seaport terminal, according to causal relationships in time. The urgency of the work is explained by the rapid development of containerization and the growing demand for transportation in intermodal transport units from the side of cargo owners. The feasibility of implementing "single window" systems for intermodal transportation is confirmed by the complexity of such transportation systems: the presence of several types of transportation, the requirement of a high degree of integration of transportation participants, and strict time constraints. The practical significance of the presented formalization provides an idea of the cargo handling algorithm, contributes to the qualitative formulation of the task of designing software solutions for information exchange at container terminals that shorten the cargo handling process by simplifying the document flow.

This study was motivated by the low voter turnout in the 2020 Regional Head Election for Governor and Vice Governor in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The Banjar ethnicity was chosen because the Banjar ethnicity is the third largest ethnic majority in Central Kalimantan, so the behavior of the Banjar ethnicity can determine political contestation in Central Kalimantan. This study aimed to find out and analyze the behavior of the Banjar Ethnic voters. Qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The focus of the research is the behavior of ethnic Banjar voters, with research benchmarks using the Voter Behavior theory as follows: (a) Rational Voters, (b) Critical Voters, (c) Skeptical Voters (d) Traditional Voters. The results of the study, after the informants were interviewed, it was found that the behavior of ethnic Banjar voters mostly claimed to be rational voters, but the characteristics shown were closer to traditional voters. The critical behavior of ethnic Banjar towards prospective candidates did not combine a high orientation towards the performance of political parties and skeptical behavior towards ethnic behavior. Their Banjar is not oriented towards ideology or party and candidate policies. The behavior of traditional voters in Ethnic Banjar can be classified as traditional voters because issuing voting rights prioritizes socio-cultural closeness, origin, ethnicity and religion. This study concludes that the Banjar Ethnic voters’ behavior belongs to the Traditional Voters.
