Examining the Relationship between Attachment, Somatization, and Expressing Emotions
Authors: Yesil Hatice , Özdogan Büsra , Ünübol Hüseyin , Sayar Gökben Hizli
Published: October 2021

Aim:

The baby's special relationship with his caregiver affects his future psychological and physical health. The disruption of the mother-baby bonding can lead to mental difficulties and even psychopathologies in that period and afterward. This study aimed to reveal the relationships between attachment, expressing emotion, and somatization.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 175 volunteer university students, 142 females, 33 males, were included in the study. In the study, data were collected via self-report forms, namely, sociodemographic form, the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Somatization Scale, and the Emotional Expression Questionnaire.

Results:

A low level of negative correlation was found between expressing emotions and attachment to the mother. A weak but statistically significant negative relationship was found between somatization and attachment to mother and father. A weakly significant negative correlation was found between somatization and Overprotection-Father scores. While the somatization scores of the participants increased, the perceived protective, controlling, nonsupporting attitudes of the father also increased significantly.

Conclusion:

Further research needs to be focused on the theoretical and clinical implications of these results. The precise nature of these possible relationships is yet to be interpreted.

Published: October 2021

Collectivity, referred as the drive to be and stay together with the other beings, serves as a basic tool for survival and reproduction. Thus, it should be considered a basic instinct. In the first part of this article, we are describing the basic mechanisms of collectivity: (1) the collectivity instinct, (2) social trust, (3) inter- and intragroup dynamics, and (4) the ability to recognise the facial expression of others. In the second part, we will give some clinical examples (such as autism and narcissistic and paranoid personality disorders) as the disorders of collectivity. The ideas presented here may be the basis for the modification of new psychotherapy techniques for the disorders of collectivity in future.
On Emergent Quantities, Mental Perceptions and Constructs, and Agencies
Authors: Cengel Yunus A.
Published: October 2021

There is general agreement that physical entities exist, but there is widespread disagreement on whether nonphysical entities such as emergent quantities, mental constructs, and agencies qualify as existence and the nature of those quantities. At the core of this disagreement lie subjective worldviews and ideological convictions rather than objective reasoning based on observations. Further, there is a growing tendency to view all nonphysical quantities as properties of organization and label them emergent qualities which appear out of nothing and disappear into nothingness. In this paper we present plausible arguments that emergent qualities are not limited to large assemblies of matter and that they are encountered even at subatomic level. We also make a distinction among different kinds of nonphysical entities such as mental constructs invented by the mind and entities discovered by inference, such as the laws of nature. Finally, we present a novel view of the notion of agency, such as the agency of physics which is comprised of the laws and forces of physics, characterized by causal power with the capacity to subjugate and manipulate physical entities made of matter–energy. Once the emergent quantities, mental constructs, and agencies are properly characterized and their concealed interconnections revealed, we can develop a better understanding of reality and envisage how physical and nonphysical entities interplay and how they can be manipulated.
Pathophysiology of Skull Base Defects and Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak
Authors: Alromaih Saud Romaih
Published: October 2021

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a rare pathology with many etiologies. It can be spontaneous, congenital, iatrogenic, or traumatic [Figure 1]. A skull base defect may occur along the anterior or lateral skull base manifesting as CSF rhinorrhea or CSF otorrhea. It occurs whenever there is a mucosal, bony, and dural defect. These defects could lead to communication between the nasal cavity, the paranasal sinuses, or the middle ear cavity and the subarachnoid space. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), obesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and malignancies are well-known conditions that contribute to the development of a CSF leak (1). In this article, we review the pathophysiology of each etiology.
The prospects of employing probiotics in combating COVID-19
Authors: Chakraborty Moutoshi , Munshi Saurab Kishore
Published: October 2021

Unanticipated pathogenic risk and emerging transmittable diseases can result from interspecies exchanges of viruses among animals and humans. The emergence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has recently exemplified this mechanism. Cough, fever, fatigue, headache, sputum production, hemoptysis, dyspnea, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal disorders are the characteristic features of the disease. The most prevalent and serious manifestation of the infection tends to be pneumonia. The new strains of SARS-CoV-2 with more infectivity have been emerging at regular intervals. There is currently no World Health Organization-approved particular drug for COVID-19. Besides, developing novel antivirals would take much time. Thus, repurposing the application of natural products can provide alternatives and can facilitate medication against COVID-19 as well as can slow down the aggressive progression of the disease before the arrival of approved drugs. Probiotics have long been known for their positive effects on the gut microbiome and impact on immune responses. Particularly, their involvement against viral diseases, especially those of the upper and lower respiratory tract, is of current interest for their prospective application against COVID-19. In this review, we comprehensively address the mode of action of probiotics and their possible intervention against coronavirus diseases correlating with their efficacy against viral diseases. In this regard, we explored recently published relevant research and review articles in MEDLINE/PubMed related to COVID-19 and the effects of probiotics on viral infections.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to examine the biochemical and haemological parameters of blood as well as the quality of breast meat of 45 pheasants. The pheasants were divided into three groups and fed by mixtures with the organic selenium supplementation in concentrations of 0.2 mg/kg (I group) and 0.3 mg/kg (II group)and with mixture without selenium in a control group (K). After 60 days of the experiment duration it was determined that the average values of selenium content in the breast meat in blood serum of II group pheasants which were fed with 0.3 mg/kg of organic selenium were significantly higher (p>0.05) in comparison to the same parameters of pheasants of the control K group. The pheasants of II group also had better sensory traits of meat and they achieved the highest difference of the sum of the ranks of the meat acceptability.  The difference was by 15 points higher than in the control K group and 7 points higher than in meat of the pheasants I group fed with 0.2 mg/kg of selenium. Adding of organic selenium in the food of  II group pheasants (0.3 mg/kg) had a positive effect on increasing the water retention capacity in breast meat by 0.75% compared to the control group, namely by 0.58% in comparison to I group. Average values of chemical parameters of meat (pH, water, fat, proteins and ash content), haematological parameters of pheasants blood  (number of erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelets, haemoglobin and haematocrit values) and biochemical parameters of blood serum ( glucose, enzymes AST and  ALT), total protein concentration, total cholesterol albumin, triglycerides, Ca, K and Na) were within the limits of reference values for pheasants and very uniform values without significant differences among examined groups.

The aim of the study was to investigate production parameters and nutritive quality of carp meat produced in a fish pond fed with fresh well water mixed with purified slaughterhouse wastewater. The quality of carp fillet was analyzed in view of both chemical parameters and seasonal variations, i.e., time of sampling. Our research idea was that purified slaughterhouse wastewater would provide essential nutrients for carp and positively affect the quality of fish meat, which was confirmed in this experiment. The total carp production at the end of study period was 3270 kg/ha. The research revealed a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.5 kg of feed per one kg weight gain and a survival rate of 87%. Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between meat protein content during spring and autumn season was established. Protein content in meat was higher during spring season, whereas higher fat content was established during autumn sampling season. The application of purified slaughterhouse wastewater provided high level of nutrients resulting in high meat yield per area unit and good chemical composition of meat. Such production model is meaningful in both economic and ecological aspect.
PARIZ I BERLIN KAO KULTURNE PRESTONICE IZMEĐU DVA SVETSKA RATA I NjIHOV UTICAJ NA KULTURNE PRILIKE U SRBIJI
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Serbia, Vujović Ana
Published: October 2021

Mesto i uloga Pariza i Berlina kao prestonica dve centralne evropske države, ali i kao prestonica kulturnih zbivanja u prvoj polovini 20. veka, a posebno u periodu između dva svetska rata, mogu se proučavati iz različitih aspekata. Njihova kreativna energija i snažan kulturni uticaj koji su imali na ostatak sveta nesumnjivi su, i pre i posle ovog perioda. Želeli bismo da u ovom radu navedemo osnovne elemente njihovih kulturnih aktivnosti, uporedimo njihove kulturne akcije i izdvojimo ono što ih je činilo toliko privlačnim za druge zemlje. Cilj rada je da analizira uticaj ove dve prestonice i države na kulturne prilike u tadašnjoj Srbiji kao delu Kraljevine Jugoslavije i u njenoj prestonici Beogradu, posebno imajući u vidu vrlo različite polazne tačke u odnosima prema pomenutim zemljama: dok je Francuska bila tradicionalni saveznik i veliki prijatelj posle Prvog svetskog rata, odnos prema Nemačkoj bio je znatno drugačiji i opterećen ratnim sukobima i stradanjima. Zaključak je da je u datom periodu dominantan bio kulturni uticaj Francuske koja je smatrana prijateljem kome se neki propusti mogu i oprostiti, dok se, s druge strane, na Nemačku dugo gledalo sa podozrenjem, a potom su se razvili veće poverenje i saradnja, koji su na kraju opet dovedeni u pitanje u predvečerje novog svetskog rata.
L’INFLUENCE DU GAULLISME SUR LES SERBES
Authors: Zečević Slobodan
Published: October 2021

L’œuvre historique de Charles de Gaulle a-t-elle eu de l’influence sur les événements politiques en Serbie? La réponse est oui, même plus qu’on ne le pense. Le parallélisme du comportement politique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale du général Milan Nedić avec celui du maréchal Philippe Pétain et du colonel Dragoljub Draža Mihajlović avec celui du général de Gaulle est fascinant. Les deux militaires serbes ont été formés par l’armée française. Comme Pétain, le général Nedić a décidé de se soumettre à l’occupant en créant un État serbe fantoche. Comme de Gaulle, le général Mihajlović est convaincu de la victoire des Alliés, refusant la capitulation et décidant de continuer le combat. La constitution gaulliste de la V République de 1958 a-t-elle inspirée les rédacteurs de la constitution serbe de 2006 ? Dans une certaine mesure oui, mais peut-être pas assez. Voici une analyse du rapport des Serbes face au gaullisme.
SINTAKSIČKO-STILISTIČKE OSOBENOSTI GLAGOLSKIH OBLIKA U PESMAMA „ŽENIDBA BEGA LjUBOVIĆA“ I „ZIRKA KAJOVIĆA“ RADOVANA BEĆIROVIĆA

This paper deals with verb forms in the poems The Marriage of Bey Ljubović and Zirka Kajovića from the stylistic and syntactic standpoint. The analysis procedure includes a syntactic indicative, a syntactic relative, qualifier, gnome form, narrative form, and absolute. In addition, referentiality and non-referentiality of verb forms are considered. Bearing in mind that verb forms are most often combined, the stylistic effects of combinations of verb forms are considered. This paper aims to determine the inventory of verb forms and describe their syntactic and stylistic features. The analysis showed that a rich inventory of verb forms could be found in Radovan Bećirović’s poems. Simple Past Tense, Truncated Perfect, imperfect, aorist, and temporally transposed Present Tense denote the past. In both poems, the future is expressed by the future one, and apart from it, in the poem The Marriage of Bey Ljubović, a futuroid is found. The present is realized in a syntactic indicative, and, additionally, it is found as a qualifying, gnomic, and narrative present, of which it is most often used as a narrative. Examples of presentations with modal meanings are not uncommon. In terms of referentiality, present forms in poems denote referential and non-referential actions. The infinitive is found as a complement to modal or phase verbs and is also used in the absolute. The past is realized in the syntactic indicative and the syntactic relative and denotes referential and non-referential actions. The aorist is a high-frequency verb form in the poem The Marriage of Bey Ljubović and is used in most cases as a narrative. The imperfect is realized in syntactic relative and suggests referential and non-referential actions. The Future Simple Tense is found in the syntactic relative, then the absolute, and with modal meanings, i.e., the meaning of intention, commandments, possibilities, etc. While the use of the Future Simple is linked to the heroes’ discourses, the futuroid appears in the narrative discourse. Except in the function of Future Simple, futuroid is found in gnome use. The pre- sent, the aorist, the imperfect, and the truncated perfect are forms whose stylistic features contribute to the topicality, experience, dynamism, and drama of the events being reported.
A Reestruturação do Espaço Urbano em Juiz de Fora a partir de Projetos Urbanos de Grande Impacto
Authors: Tasca Luciane , Do Amaral Sabrina Ferretti
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo se insere na temática da reestruturação do espaço em cidades médias brasileiras e apresenta como principal objetivo analisar a implantação de Projetos Urbanos de relevante impacto na estrutura da cidade de Juiz de Fora, MG. Segundo perspectiva histórica, desde a década de 1970, o município vem passando por alterações significativas na sua estrutura, resultantes de sua expansão e do surgimento de novas centralidades. Destaca-se, no entanto, que desde o ano 2000, Juiz de Fora se tornou palco de Projetos Urbanos (especialmente na sua Região Sul), a partir de mudanças implementadas pela administração pública focadas no planejamento estratégico e no empresariamento urbano.  Percebe-se assim, o surgimento de um novo núcleo de atratividade num processo crescente de alteração da dinâmica urbana do município. Diante da ineficiente ação por parte do poder público local, somada à falta de políticas urbanas integradas ao planejamento espacial da cidade, este trabalho se justifica por se apresentar como um meio de explorar e debater idéias que contribuam efetivamente para a qualidade urbana da cidade.

Authors: Chaudhari Dr. Ganesh , Sonawane Dr. Satish
Published: October 2021

Background: Traditional method to fix Split thickness skin graft in post burn neck contracture is Tie over Bolster dressing and Quilting sutures. We used staplers to fix split thickness skin graft. Materials & methods: A comparative study conducted in 30 patients with post burn neck contracture at Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College, Nashik, during January 2015 to December 2020. Time required for fixation of split thickness skin graft, outcome in terms of graft uptake and patients comfort level while removing sutures and stapler recorded. Results: Total 30 Patients were included in our study. Mean time required for Tie over and quilting suture was 10.53 ± 0.88 min, significantly higher than the mean time in stapler fixation 4.87 ± 0.81 min. (p<0.001). Graft take was 95% in stapler and 93% in Tie over and quilting suture. Conclusion: Fixation of Split thickness skin graft with stapler is more rapid, less time consuming also results in decreased surgical and anaesthesia time. More patient friendly while removing staplers with comparable skin graft uptake.

Aim: To study the cost-effectiveness of clinical screen with ultrasonography (USG) of hip for diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in new borns. Methods: Retrospective study (2018-20). Term new borns had (i) target scan at 6 weeks—family history of DDH or breech presentation—and (ii) early scan—abnormal clinical screen. Results: In all, 58 babies had USG scan. Five early scans (Graf’s classification; three Type IIA, one Type IIC and one Type IIIB] and 15 target scans (Type IIA) were reported abnormal. All Type IIA DDH had subsequent 12 weeks' scans normal. Babies with Type IIIB and IIC had hip reduction surgery at 6 and 16 months of age, respectively. At cost 200 INR/scan, total 147?200 INR was incurred against two possible hip replacements prevented. Conclusion: Universal clinical screen with USG of hip can aid in early diagnosis of DDH in newborns. Large population-based studies from developing countries need to look in its cost-effectiveness.
Neonatal & Paediatric Point Of Care Ultrasound (Pocus): A Novel Standard Practice
Authors: Shinde Dr. Abhijit , Dr. Sushrut Kumar  , Mhaske Dr. Sneha
Published: October 2021

An ever expanding branch of applications have been developed for ultrasound, including its goal directed use at the bedside, often called point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). ).  Although neonatologist-performed functional echocardiography has been at the frontline of the worldwide growth of POCUS, a rapidly growing body of evidence has also demonstrated the importance of non-cardiac applications, including guidance of placement of central catheterisation and lumbar puncture, endotracheal tube localisation as well as rapid estimation of the brain, lungs, bladder and bowel.  Ultrasonography has become a pivotal adjunct to the care of neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU); but a full appreciation for its diagnostic capabilities in the NICU is lacking.(2) Ultrasonography (USG) is no longer the exclusive domain of radiologists and cardiologists. With appropriate training, clinician performed ultrasound (CPU) is now practised widely in obstetrics, emergency medicine and adult intensive care .In many developed countries,it is standard practice in neonatology. (3) In this review, we will discuss neonatal & pediatric point of care ultrasound (POCUS) as a novel standard practice & its clinical application for assessment of the head, heart, lung, gut, bladder, for vascular line localization & for endotracheal tube placement. As new applications and adoption of point-of-care ultrasound continues to gain acceptance in paediatric and neonatal medicine throughout the world, a rapidly growing body of evidence suggests that the result will be faster, safer and more successful diagnosis and treatment of our  patients.

Introduction: Women in most sub-Saharan countries bear children at younger ages, have larger families, and make much less use of family planning. Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest rate of contraceptive use in the world. There are both modern and traditional methods of Family planning. Throughout history, the traditional family planning practices used to space children have been rich and varied.

Purpose: This work sets out to investigate the diverse traditional family planning methods used by women in the Bamenda Municipality and the determinants of their choices.

Methods: A mix of descriptive and exploratory research designs were used. The purposive sampling technique was used to identify 100, participants residing in Bamenda Municipality who were married/cohabiting, aged 21-49 years, and whose last child was ≤ 5 years old. The multinomial logit model, chi-square, frequencies, percentages, and charts were used for the analysis. An interview administered questionnaire was administered to women of childbearing age who were not on any modern contraceptive method.

Findings: Results showed that the local family planning methods used by women in the Bamenda Municipality were; withdrawal, lactational, calendar, cervical mucus, and douches methods. Other locally used products presumed by these women to help prevent conception were; bicarbonate, honey, thyme,  parsley, herbs, lemon, cola drink, alakata pepper, alcohol, hot water, salt, vinegar, and whisky. Results further showed that age, age at first marriage, number of children, and the fear of side effects all significantly influenced women’s choice of withdrawal and calendar method over other methods of family planning.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that, the most frequently used traditional contraceptive method by women in the Bamenda Municipality are; calendar (70%), withdrawal (58%), and lactational method(45%) whose choices over other methods especially over modern methods was mostly due to the fear of side effects of the modern method. It is recommended further research be carried out to investigate and establish the efficacy of the common products used by these women.

Authors: Mugure Mary , Rintari Nancy , Laititi Stephen
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between management structure and quality service delivery in mission hospitals in Meru County

Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design and primary data was collected from respondents while secondary data was retrieved from published sources. The author used questionnaires as the data collection instrument. The target population was one hundred twenty-eight (128) respondents from the mission hospitals in Meru County of Kenya. A pilot study was conducted at Chuka mission hospital in Tharaka Nithi County to establish the reliability of the research instruments.  There were eight categories of respondents indicating CEO, Finance Officer, Human Resource Manager, Customer Care Officer, Quality Assurance Officer, Patient, Supplier and Neighbor.  The questionnaires were distributed to one person in each category in each hospital making a total of eight questionnaires. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 and further explained using descriptive statistics and percentages to enhance understanding and presented in tables and graphs. The study utilized Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation to describe the association among the variables and establish strength of the relationship between dependent and independent variables.

Results: Inferential statistics were used to arrive at the findings where deductions and relationships were established.  The findings revealed that there existed a positive relationship between management structure and quality service delivery of mission hospitals in the county as manifested by the inferential results(r = 0.339; p-value < 0.05). After carrying out regression analysis, the research indicated that management structure was insignificant in explaining quality service delivery of mission hospitals.

Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice:

This study recommends top management implement initiatives aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of management structure to achieve high-quality service delivery in health care provision. The study recommends a project management approach in periodic monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of management structure.

Durante a Era Neoproterozóica, eventos tectônicos de zona de cinturão orogênico (colagem continental), na região geologicamente conhecida como Faixa Araguaia, foram essenciais para a arquitetura das formas de relevo atuais na região da Serra das Andorinhas, SE do Estado do Pará. As atuais formas de relevo mostram a complexidade desses eventos colisionais. As geotecnologias possibilitam a identificação de deformações estruturais através dos SIGs, técnicas de geoprocessamento em imagens AW3D30 foram utilizadas a fim de identificar o padrão de lineamentos de relevo, para auxílio na definição e classificação das unidades geomorfológicas para a região da Serra das Andorinhas. Como resultados foi possível identificar lineamentos rúpteis de orientação preferencial NE, EW e NW, nos quais possibilitaram definir quatros unidades geomorfológicas em consonância com as feições lineares.

We all familiar with blinking LED using Arduino boards as this is the fundamental step towards using a new development board. In this tutorial, we are going to learn basic built-in commands of Arduino IDE which will help to blink LED using ESP8266 NodeMCU and ESP-01 module. If you wonder how to install Arduino IDE to interface with ESP8266. First we will see how to connect an external LED with NodeMCU and how to blink it using GPIO pins of ESP8266 NodeMCU. After that we will see how to blink an on board LED of NodeMCU and at the end of this guide, we will see how to use GPIO pin of ESP01 to control light emitting diode and how to program ESP01 with FTDI device. The software implementation of the PWM generation in ESP8266 is very similar to that in Arduino. Since we are using the Arduino IDE to program the ESP8266, the function responsible for producing PWM Signal is analogWrite (the same function which we have used in Arduino as well).analogWrite function takes in two parameters: Pin number and PWM Value. In place of Pin Number, enter the number of the Pin through which you want use the PWM Output. Coming to the PWM Value, here you need to enter a value based on the resolution of the PWM. In case of Arduino, the resolution is 8-bit, so you would have to enter a value between 0 and 255.In case of ESP8266, the PWM in ESP8266 uses a 10-bit resolution. So, you will have to enter a value between 0 and 1023. Here, PWM value “0” means 0% duty cycle and PWM value “1023” means 100% duty cycle. Any value between 0 and 1023 will make the duty cycle

Sabah has extensive mangrove forests surrounded by oceanic waters which provide suitable habitat for many species of animals including mud crabs (Scylla spp.). This study was conducted to obtain information on the species composition, distribution and catch per unit effort in Marudu Bay, Sabah. Samplings were done monthly in five mangrove areas along the river channels in Marudu Bay (06Â°33â€™N; 114Â°44â€™E) from October 2012 to September 2013 using collapsible baited crab traps. From a total of 1859 mud crab specimens caught in Marudu Bay, three species were identified. Scylla tranquebarica was the dominant species forming 78% of the total followed by S. paramamosain 13% and S. olivacea 8%. The number of males (n=1224) was higher compared to females (n=635) with an average sex ratio male : female of 1.0:0.5. The catch per unit effort (CPUE) showed an average value of 0.55 trap-1 day-1 and revealed a declining trend throughout the sampling. S. tranquebarica was widely distributed in all the rivers surveyed, however, it mostly occurred in near the lower reaches of the river near the areas open to the sea where average water salinity ranged from 12.98 to 14.28 ppt and the environment favoured the growth of Rhizophora sp. Other species, S. paramamosain and S. olivacea, were mostly found in upstream areas covered generally by Nypa sp. and where average water salinity varied from 6.93 to 7.50 ppt. The information on the species composition, distribution and CPUE of the mud crabs in Marudu Bay can be useful for mud crab fisheries resources management in Sabah.
