Effect of Sanjin Paishi Decoction combined with lithotripsy on clinical symptoms and renal function of patients with nephrolithiasis
Authors: Li Xinhua , Wang Yunhui , Zuo Liyan , Xu Xian
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To determine the effect of Sanjin Paishi decoction (SJPSD) combined with lithotripsy on the improvement of clinical symptoms and renal function in nephrolithiasis patients.

Methods: A total of 100 patients with nephrolithiasis, who were treated in the outpatient department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jinggangshan University, Ji'an, Jiangxi, China from January 2019 to October 2021, were retrospectively analyzed and enrolled in the study. They were divided into control group (CG, n = 40) treated with holmium laser lithotripsy through flexible ureteroscope, and a study group (OG, n = 60) treated with SJPSD after holmium laser lithotripsy through flexible ureteroscope. Treatment effect and improvement in renal function indices (serum creatinine (Scr), cystatin C (CysC) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D glucosaminidase (NAG)), were compared. Postoperative clinical efficacy, time of disappearance of hematuria, postoperative extubation time, of hospital stay, Traditional Chinesemedicine (TCM) symptom score, and the incidence of complications were evaluated.

Results: After treatment, OG showed significantly downregulated Scr, CysC, and NAG compared with CG, but the total clinical effectiveness was significantly higher than that of CG (p < 0.05). Kidney stone clearance rate of OG was higher than that of CG at 4 weeks post-operation (p < 0.05). The time of disappearance of postoperative hematuria, postoperative extubation time, and hospitalization time ofOG was shorter than those of CG, while TCM symptom scores were lower than those in CG (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The combination of SJPSD and holmium laser lithotripsy in the management of patients with renal calculi results in improvement in clinical efficacy, reduction in TCM symptom scores, and speed-up postoperative recovery, without increase in the incidence of complications. Prospective studies and long-term follow-up are anticipated in the future. Furthermore, established animal or in vitro models are required to determine the specific mechanism of action.

Binh Minh mine is one of the major mines of the Quang Ninh coal basin and contributes significantly to the country's annual coal reserves. Based on collected data, the paper has synthesized and processed geological data especially applied mathematical methods to identify research objects and describe quantitative properties. The results indicate that the coal seams belong to the group of medium and thick seams, the thickness of the entire seam changes complicatedly, with variable thickness are unstable, its coefficient of variation (Vm = 53.5 and 97.7%); the variable slope angle is stable (Vα = 29.4 and 44.1%); coal ash level is relatively stable (VA = 56.1 and 74.6%). Coal seams in the group of seams have a level of complexity from simple to relatively complex with the coefficient of formation (Kcc = 0.84 and 0.96); rate of interbedding rock (Kk = 8 and 24%); thickness of interbedding rock (Mk = 0.16 and 1.34 m). Quantitative calculation results have shown that the Binh Minh coal deposit belongs to the type III of mining exploration groups. For an exploration of this type of mineral, it is recommended to use a linear grid pattern. The appropriate exploration grid pattern for reserve level 122 is (200÷250)×(90÷100) m. Research results are the basis for proposing technical means of coal exploration in mines and areas with similar geological and mineral conditions.

Where the danger of electric shock is high, for example underground mines or medical equipment directly connected to a patient, special ungrounded power systems (unearthed networks) may be used to minimize possible leakage current to the ground. In mixed unearthed networks (AC/DC-IT) comprising alternating and direct current circuits, AC part of system is connected with DC part through rectifyer valves. Commutation of the valves causes cyclic variation of configuration of the entire galvanically connected network. A distinct feature of AC/DC-IT systems is that voltages between all points of AC side and ground may have mean value different from zero. This characteristic parameter can be used as a signal to determine fault and position to ground or decrease in insulation resistance. However, it also affects the results of the network equivalent insulation resistance measurements when a DC source is used to check insulation. The paper presents a solution to eliminate this effect and proposes a device model to measure and monitor insulation resistance. The results of this study can be applied in the design and manufacture of automatic resistance measuring and monitoring devices for AC/DC mixed unearthed networks.

Authors:   Department of Medical Gastroenterology, Gynecology & Obstetrics, PGIMS, Rohtak, India, Malhotra Parveen
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major cause of cirrhosis of liver and leads to significant morbidity and mortality. In past, HCV therapy was limited to subcutaneous peg interferon plus oral ribavirin, a regimen that was generally poorly tolerated and provided low efficacy, with cure rates below 40% for HCV genotypes 1 and 4, and below 75% for HCV genotypes 2 or 3. The availability of oral direct-acting antiviral (DAA) as treatment for chronic hepatitis C has revolutionized the field. Although current HCV therapies rarely fail to achieve viral eradication, a subset of patients experience treatment failure. Aim: To study the risk factors associated with treatment failure with oral antiviral drugs in patients of Chronic hepatitis C. Materials & Methods: It was a retrorospective study done at Medical Gastroenterology Department, PGIMS, Rohtak in which six years data i.e.from 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2020, pertainining to Eighty Six (86) chronic hepatitis C patients who had treatment failure i.e. SVR failure on oral antiviral drugs was analyzed. Observations: Out of the total 86 patients, there was clear cut male predominance i.e. 54 (62.79 %) with rural background (villages) i.e.73 (84.88%). The age distribution in these 86 patients varied between 10-80 yrs of age and characterstically peak was seen in 31-40 yrs age group i.e.25 patients (29.06 %). The majority of patients had high baseline HCV viral load (> 4 lakhs I.U. /ml) i.e. 52 patients (60.46%). Out of total 86 patients, , 50 patients (58.13%) were cirrhotic, 34 patients (39.53 %) were smokers, 33 patients (38.37%) were alcoholic, 26 patients (30.23 %) had past history of surgical intervention, 9 patients (10.46 %) were diabetic, 9 patients (10.46 %) had got tattoo, 8 patients (9.30%) had history of previous blood transfusion and 13 patients (15.11%) gave history of use of alternative medications. Results: The direct risk factors associated with development of failed SVR in HCV patients are high baseline HCV RNA viral load, cirrhosis, rural background and indirect risk factors are smoking, alcohol and Diabetes Mellitus but large scale studies in future are required to confirm the same.

Educação sexual e promoção dos direitos humanos: uma análise comparada
Authors: Costi Fadanelli Isadora
Published: May 2022

Considerando-se que a temática da eficácia dos direitos fundamentais tem sido desenvolvida e aprofundada pela doutrina e pela jurisprudência alemã, bem como sua crescente influência  no ordenamento  jurídico pátrio,  estabeleceu-se a seguinte problemática de pesquisa, mais especificamente, em que medida é possível verificar que a proibição da educação sobre gênero e das aulas de educação sexual nas escolas acarreta em violação a direitos fundamentais, a partir da análise de decisão proferida pelo Tribunal Federal Constitucional alemão, pela Corte Europeia de Direitos Humanos e pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre tal temática, dentro de uma perspectiva comparada na análise dos direitos fundamentais, entre o contexto europeu e o contexto brasileiro? A fim de responder este questionamento principal, este artigo foi desenvolvido a partir de um objetivo geral, qual seja, analisar a jurisprudência envolvendo a temática dos direitos fundamentais de forma comparada e dentro de uma perspectiva integrativa entre o contexto europeu e o contexto brasileiro, através das decisões proferidas pelo Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemão, pela Corte Europeia de Direitos Humanos e pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal; e um objetivo específico, qual seja, elucidar os principais pontos das decisões destas Cortes. Utilizando-se da metodologia hipotético-dedutiva, concluiu-se que a proibição da discussão de gênero nas instituições de ensino causa grave violação a direitos fundamentais, como, por exemplo, o direito à educação, o direito à liberdade de ensinar e aprender, e o direito da criança, adolescente e jovem de ser colocado a salvo de toda forma de discriminação e violência.

Abstract. Given the short span of instrumental precipitation records in the South American Altiplano, long-term hydroclimatic records are needed to understand the nature of climate variability and to improve the predictability of precipitation, a key natural resource for the socio-economic development in the Altiplano and adjacent arid lowlands. In this region grows Polylepis tarapacana, a long-lived tree species that is very sensitive to hydroclimatic changes and have been widely used for tree-ring studies in the central and southern Altiplano. However, in the northern sector of the Peruvian and Chilean Altiplano (16º–19º S) still exist a gap of hydroclimatic tree-ring records. Our study provides an overview of the temporal evolution of annual precipitation for the period 1625–2013 CE at the northern South American Altiplano, allowing for the identification of wet or dry periods based on a regional reconstruction composed by three P. tarapacana chronologies. An increase in the occurrence rate of extreme dry events, together with a decreasing trend in the reconstructed precipitation, have been recorded since the 1970s decade in the northern Altiplano within the context of the last ~four centuries. The average precipitation of the last 17-year stands out as the driest in our 389-years reconstruction. We revealed a temporal and spatial synchrony across the Altiplano region of wet conditions during the first half of the 19th century and the drought conditions since mid 1970s recorded by independent tree-ring based hydroclimate reconstructions and several paleoclimatic records based on other proxies available for the tropical Andes. The rainfall reconstruction provides also valuable information about the ENSO influences in the northern Altiplano precipitation. The spectral properties of the rainfall reconstruction showed strong imprints of ENSO variability at decadal, sub-decadal and inter-annual time-scale, in particular from the Pacific N3 sector. Overall, the remarkable recent reduction in precipitation in comparison with previous centuries, the increase in extreme dry events and the coupling between precipitation and ENSO variability reported by this work is essential information in the context of the growing demand for water resources in the Altiplano that will contribute to a better understanding of the vulnerability/resilience of the region to the projected evapotranspiration increase for the 21st century associated to global warming.

Etymological Aspects of Apollo’s Mythology
Authors: Anghelina Catalin
Published: May 2022

The present study focuses on how etymology could play an important role in the mythology of Apollo. Obviously, when it comes to the issue of the meaning of names, one often enters the realm of speculation. However, in many instances of Apollo’s mythology, etymology seems to reflect important aspects of the myth. These aspects start with Apollo’s family and birth, and continue with his role in Greek mythology. The accord between etymology and mythology appears to be more than a simple coincidence.

“Me likey!” A new (old) argument structure or a partially fixed expression with the verb like?
Authors: Rodríguez-Abruñeiras Paula
Published: May 2022

This paper explores the current use of the verb like in sequences such as “me likey”. This new use is practically limited to modern variant spellings (likey, likee, like-y and likie) and resembles the original (and now obsolete) impersonal structure of the verb in which the experiencer was encoded in the objective case and the verb was used invariably, among other aspects. However, rather than the re-emergence of an impersonal construction, the sequence “me likey” seems to be the result of a situation of language contact and it is in line with the informalisation of English as seen, for example, in the increasing tendency for objective pronouns to be used in subject position in a variety of constructions. In light of the evidence from the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the TV Corpus, we can conclude that the sequence is used in highly informal registers, and that it tends to appear in rather formulaic expressions, especially in two-word sequences.
Neotypification of Claviceps humidiphila and recognition of C. bavariensis sp. nov.

Published: May 2022

Claviceps humidiphila [≡ C. purpurea var. phalaridis] was previously typified with the holotype collected by Tanda in Japan and an epitype from Bavaria, Germany. Phylogenetic analyses based on translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) and RNA polymerase
II second largest subunit (RPB2) indicated that the previously designated epitype from Germany was not conspecific with the Japanese species. The German specimen is proposed as a new species, C. bavariensis, and a specimen collected from the type location (Chiba, Japan) is designated
as a neotype for C. humidiphila, replacing the lost holotype.
SOUL: An Institutional Transformation Framework for Indian Higher Education
Authors: Gupta Ankur , Sawhney Sahil
Published: May 2022

The Indian Higher Education sector has made remarkable progress in the last few years in terms of capacity expansion and improving the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) significantly. Out of the three stated objectives of the national higher education policy, equity and access have been achieved to a large extent, while excellence remains confined to a few pockets. Quality concerns reiterated by reports from government agencies, studies by industry bodies and manifested in rapidly declining student enrolments persist. Therefore, there is an urgent need for institutions to transform themselves to create value for their stakeholders. It will help successfully navigate the challenges facing the higher education sector. We present SOUL (Strategy, Operations, Urgency, Leadership), a comprehensive institutional transformation framework customized for Indian academia, enabling leadership teams to introduce validated interventions and global best practices at their institutions in a phased manner. SOUL is novel, relevant and timely, especially in the Indian context considering that disruption and crisis create opportunities for institutional transformation.
Is Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of Teachers Related to the Effectiveness of Higher Education Institutions?
Authors: Khandelwal Priyanka , Nair Manju
Published: May 2022

This research investigates the relationship between organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) of university teachers and organizational effectiveness (OE) of Indian Universities. This cross-sectional survey includes 721 teachers from various state and private universities in Rajasthan, India. The findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between organizational citizenship behaviour and organizational effectiveness. Additionally, the state universities show a higher variance of 78% in organizational effectiveness by organizational citizenship behaviour as compared to private universities with 49% variance. This research establishes the conceptual and empirical linkage between OCB and OE within higher education institutions in the Indian context. This study provides some practical suggestions for university administrators for effective institutional management. It also offers input to policymakers to consider OCB as a new and innovative element of appraisal dimension and compensation system apart from traditional parameters of HR systems.
Challenges of Online Instruction and Information Technology Integration in COVID-19 Pandemic: Perspectives of Academic Staff in Ghanaian Universities
Authors: Nyagorme Paul , Arkorful Valentina , Aheto Simon-Peter Kafui
Published: May 2022

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration is essential, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. While the need for ICT integration in today’s pedagogical activities is inevitable, online instruction in Ghanaian higher education is still challenging. Referring to the pressing need for ICT integration and online instructions amid COVID-19, we assess the challenges academic staff in Ghanaian universities encounter concerning online instructions and ICT integration into pedagogical activities. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with 628 (response rate of 83.1%, N= 522) academic staff from two universities. Results reveal that instructors/lecturers’ challenges (inadequate ICT infrastructure and lack of stable electric power) and institutional challenges (lack of consistent practice and limited technical assistance) pre- dominantly affects online instructions and ICT integration. The implication drawn from our findings is that the challenges of online instruction and ICT integration in Ghanaian universities are interrelated. We recommend that stakeholders and policy-makers in Ghanaian universities should endeavour to provide holistic solutions rather than solving the identified challenges in isolation.
NAMES OF THREE BALTIC COUNTRIES –LITHUANIA, LATVIA AND ESTONIA

Published: May 2022

"This article – based on historical and linguistic data – summarizes the origin of the names of the three Baltic countries– Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. This is a short overview of hypotheses for possible origins of these names. As typically, ethnonyms are closely connected with the names of the territories or countries, genetically closest Baltic nations –Lithuanians and Latvians – most likely got their names from local hydronyms – river names. Though it is characteristic that the localization of the designated rivers is still being discussed. The origin of the name of the Estonians is rather opaque and has many different hypotheses. However, the origin Old Germanic or Old Baltic etymon is considered more credible. The article also introduces the contemporary names of these three countries (endonyms as well as exonyms) used in other languages of the world."

"The paper aims to highlight the discrepancy between the scientific term and the regional names given to the oak. Starting from the scientific and folkloric denominative model, we discover a complex dendromorphic symbol that can be analysed from an interdisciplinary perspective (art, ethnology, history, linguistics, literature, medicine, mythology, religion, etc.). The onomastic nuclei (toponymy, anthroponomy) and the potentially identified semantic isotopies enhance the complexity of the topic."

"The article is an applied study analyzing the military vocabulary in the novel Ultima noapte de dragoste, întâia noapte de război/ ‘The last night of love, the first night of war’ by Camil Petrescu. The diversity of the military vocabulary creates an atmosphere characterizing the modern, subjective novel (of the Proustian, cityspecific type) from the interwar period. The terminological analysis brings to the fore the semantic, lexical and etymological aspects of the military terms, representative of the interwar literary language, as well as the author’s ability to practice the novel of psychological analysis, of double experience, love and war."

No dimensionamento de estruturas de drenagem é necessário o conhecimento das intensidades de chuva de curta duração. No entanto, tais informações nem sempre estão disponíveis. O método da desagregação da chuva máxima diária é amplamente utilizado para a estimatva da chuva em locais com ausência de dados pluviográficos. Esse estudo teveo objetivo de ajustar uma equação alternativa para a obtenção das relações Intensidade-Duração-Frequência de chuvas pela desagregação da chuva máxima diária com base nas relações entre chuvas intensas de diferentes durações observadas em Santa Catarina. As equações ajustadas permitem estimar a altura pluviométrica e a intensidade da chuva para durações entre 5 e 1.440 minutos. O modelo ajustado para Santa Catarina apresenta valores de até 17% inferiores aos obtidos para o modelo ajustado para o Brasil.

Finland Education System
Authors: Federick Ashok
Published: May 2022

If viewed from a geographical perspective, Finland is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. A quarter of its territory falls within the Arctic Arctic Ocean Circle. Therefore, the population of this small country must be able to maximize the use of all its psychological and physical potential to maintain and prosper their lives. The country has an area of ​​338,145 km with a population of around 5,518,371 inhabitants and adheres to the socialist (Luthrean-communist) philosophy. Before 1990 Finland relied on the country's income in the agricultural sector, but now Finland is famous as one of the world's technology centers. Finland is able to produce students who are superior compared to students in America in the fields of Science and Mathematics. Like other countries in Europe Finland also adheres to pragmaticism. Religious education is the responsibility of each parent. The Finnish government does not charge tuition fees to its citizens. The core curriculum is handled by tripartite training committees (government, industry and education and training providers). The change of leadership of the state does not change the education policy, so that what was previously programmed by the holders of authority on education policy can continue. The result is that in just 14 years Finland has become the number one education country in the world. In one class there are three teachers (two teachers who focus on delivering the material, one teacher accompanying students who are still lagging behind in the lesson). All teachers must have a master's degree. Undergraduate students are no longer allowed to become teachers even in primary school. Prospective teachers come from the top 10 students on campus who will still be screened more closely. In the evaluation of the Finnish education system there are no Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) as in Indonesia, and also no national examination (UAN), but they adhere to policies. "Automatic promotion", move up the class automatically. The teacher is always ready to help students who are left behind so that all go up to class. Their motto is "Test Less Learn More" (reduce the test multiply learning). The measure of educational progress according to them is the character of the population not national income, technological advances and military strength. The Finnish government provides a budget of 5,200 Euros per year per student.

Influencia de variables ambientales sobre la presenciade Panstrongylus Geniculatus (Latreille, 1811) en domicilios del área metropolitana de Caracas, Venezuela
Authors: Caraballo Marcano Juan Nicolás , Sanoja Cristina , Payares Gilberto
Published: May 2022

Panstrongylus geniculatus (Latreille, 1811) (Reduviidae: Triatominae) es un chinche hematófago asociado generalmente al ciclo silvestre del Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas, 1909, agente etiológico de la Enfermedad de Chagas. Las incursiones de este insecto en domicilios ubicados en zonas urbanas y periurbanas causan alarma en la población y se hacen cada vez más frecuentes. Como un aporte al conocimiento disponible sobre la biología y ecología de P. geniculatus como especie transmisora de T. cruzi en este tipo de ambientes, se propuso como objetivo explorar la influencia de seis variables ambientales (altitud, precipitación mensual, humedad relativa, temperatura media, radiación solar y velocidad del viento) sobre la distribución de especímenes de esta especie capturados en domicilios de 12 localidades del Área Metropolitana de Caracas (AMC). La evaluación parasitológica de los 39 insectos examinados mostró que cerca del 90% de ellos presentaron formas flageladas en sus heces. La mayor cantidad de ejemplares provinieron de colectas en localidades del estado Miranda (n = 32), siendo más comunes los reportes durante los meses de mayo y junio. El Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP) aplicado a estos datos la data como herramienta exploratoria concentra en los primeros dos componentes principales un 60% de la varianza y sugiere a la precipitación mensual (mm) y la humedad relativa (%) como posibles variables ambientales explicativas de la presencia de esta especie en domicilios del AMC.
