Published: February 2022

Bu çalışma, çocuklarını kurum bakımına bırakmış ve ardından çocukları koruyucu ailelere yerleştirilmiş olan kadınların öznel annelik deneyimlerini araştırmaktadır. Psikanalitik bir perspektif benimsenerek katılımcılarla gerçekleştirilen yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş, bu görüşmeler sonucunda katılımcıların anneliklerine ve çocuklarına ilişkin zihinsel tasarımlarını ve öznel annelik deneyimlerini içeren araştırma verileri elde edilmiştir. Kuram oluşturma yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen analiz sonucunda katılımcıların kendilerine ilişkin fedakâr, iyi, tümgüçlü annelik tasarımları sundukları gözlemlenmiş, bununla birlikte katılımcıların kendi anneliklerine ilişkin çifte değerli duygular hissettikleri anlaşılmıştır. Çocukları ile yaşadıkları ani ayrılıkların ve onlara fiziksel ve ruhsal bakım sağlayamamanın, katılımcıların kendilerini anne olarak konumlandırmakta ve anneliklerine ilişkin çifte değerliliği düzenlemekte güçlük çekmeleri ile ilintili olabileceği öne sürülmüştür. Gebelik dönemlerinde çocuklarına ilişkin olumsuz duygulanımlara sahip olduklarını ifade etmelerine rağmen katılımcıların kurum bakımına bıraktıkları çocuklarına ilişkin tutarlı bir biçimde olumlu zihinsel temsillere sahip oldukları gözlemlenmiştir. Evli olmayan annelere ilişkin toplumdaki sosyal damgalamanın, katılımcıların gebelik dönemlerinde çocuklarına ilişkin hislerini etkilemiş olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Çocuklarını kurum bakımına bırakan annelere öznel deneyimlerini seslendirebilecekleri bir alan açabilmenin, sosyal hizmet politikaları ve terapötik müdahalelerin geliştirilebilmesi ve çocukların kurum bakımına alınmaları ile sonuçlanan ilişkisel, sosyal ve ekonomik dinamiklerin iyileştirilebilmesi için önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Kurum bakımının kaçınılmaz olduğu durumlarda ise, biyolojik ebeveynlerin perspektiflerini içeriden duyabilmenin hem ebeveynler hem çocuklar için ani ayrılığın olumsuz etkilerini azaltmada etkili olacağı düşünülmüştür.

Şema Terapi Kuramına göre farklı ebeveynlik biçimleri, çocukluk çağında karşılanmayan veya fazlasıyla karşılanan temel psikolojik ihtiyaçlar aracığıyla erken dönem uyumsuz şemaların gelişiminde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu şemaların da farklı psikolopatolojilerin gelişiminde ve kişiler arası işlevselliğin bozulmasında etkili olduğu öne sürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, algılanan farklı ebeveynlik biçimlerinin özgül kişiler arası problem türleri ile ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya, yaşları 18 ile 65 arasında değişen 498 yetişkin (324 kadın, 174 erkek) katılmıştır. Ölçüm araçları olarak Kişiler Arası Problemler Envanteri, Young Ebeveynlik Ölçeği ve demografik bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Döngüsel analiz ile anne ve babadan algılanan ebeveynlik biçimlerinin kişilerarası döngü üzerindeki temsilleri incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, anne ve babadan algılanan cezalandırıcılık ile, babadan algılanan sömürücü/istismar eden ve anneden algılanan aşırı izin verici/sınırsız ebeveynlik biçimlerinin düşmancıl-baskın problemler çeyreğinde, anne ve babadan algılanan koşullu/ başarı odaklı ebeveynlik biçiminin yakın-baskın problemler çeyreğinde, anneden algılanan aşırı koruyucu ebeveynlik biçiminin yakın-itaatkar problemler çeyreğinde, anneden algılanan duygusal bakımdan yoksun bırakma ve babadan algılanan değişime kapalı/duygularını bastıran ebeveynlik biçiminin ise düşmancıl-itaatkar problemler çeyreğinde konumlandığı göstermiştir. Bulgular, şema terapi kuramına sağladığı görgül destek ve klinik doğurguları açısından tartışılmıştır.
Optimizing deep brain stimulation for the treatment of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy: a pilot study
Authors: Saucedo-Alvarado Pablo E. , Velasco Ana Luisa , Aguado-Carrillo Gustavo , Cuellar-Herrera Manola , Trejo-Martínez David , Márquez-Franco Rene , Velasco-Campos Francisco
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

The authors sought to determine the antiseizure effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) for treatment of drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE).

METHODS

After a 3-month baseline period, 6 adult patients with drug-resistant MTLE and hippocampal sclerosis (HS) had stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)–DBS electrodes implanted at the PHC for identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ). Patients entered an 8-month, randomized, double-blind protocol for DBS, followed by a 12-month open-phase study. Monthly reports of seizure frequency were collected, with separate counting of focal seizures with or without awareness impairment (focal impaired awareness seizures [FIAS] or focal aware seizures [FAS], respectively) and focal evolving to bilateral generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS). Stimulation parameters were 130 Hz, 450 μsec, 2.5–3 V, and cyclic stimulation 1 minute on/4 minutes off.

RESULTS

The total seizure rate decrement during follow-up was 41% (CI 25%–56%), with better seizure control for GTCS (IQR 19%–20%) and FIAS (IQR 0%–16%), with FAS being less responsive (IQR 67%–236%). No neuropsychological deterioration was observed.

CONCLUSIONS

PHC DBS induced important antiseizure effects in patients with incapacitating FIAS and GTCS, most likely through blocking the propagation of hippocampal-onset seizures. The PHC target can be easily and safely approached due to positioning away from vascular structures, and there was no evidence of DBS-induced cognitive deterioration.
Outpatient outcomes of patients with femoral nerve neurapraxia after prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion at L4–5

OBJECTIVE

Single-position prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) improves the efficiency of staged minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. However, laterally approaching the lumbar spine, especially L4–5 with the patient in the prone position, could increase the risk of complications and presents unique challenges, including difficult ergonomics, psoas migration, and management of the nearby lumbar plexus. The authors sought to identify postoperative femoral neurapraxia after single-position prone LLIF at L4–5 to better understand how symptoms evolve over time.

METHODS

This retrospective analysis examined a prospectively maintained database of LLIF patients who were treated by two surgeons (J.S.U. and J.D.T.). Patients who underwent single-position prone LLIF at L4–5 and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for lumbar stenosis or spondylolisthesis were included if they had at least 6 weeks of follow-up. Outpatient postoperative neurological symptoms were analyzed at 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up evaluations.

RESULTS

Twenty-nine patients (16 women [55%]; overall mean ± SD age 62 ± 11 years) met the inclusion criteria. Five patients (17%) experienced complications, including 1 (3%) who had a femoral nerve injury with resultant motor weakness. The mean ± SD transpsoas retractor time was 14.6 ± 6.1 minutes, the directional anterior electromyography (EMG) threshold before retractor placement was 20.1 ± 10.2 mA, and the directional posterior EMG threshold was 10.4 ± 9.1 mA. All patients had 6-week clinical follow-up evaluations. Ten patients (34%) reported thigh pain or weakness at their 6-week follow-up appointment, compared with 3/27 (11%) at 3 months and 1/20 (5%) at 6 months. No association was found between directional EMG threshold and neurapraxia, but longer transpsoas retractor time at L4–5 was significantly associated with femoral neurapraxia at 6-week follow-up (p = 0.02). The only case of femoral nerve injury with motor weakness developed in a patient with a retractor time that was nearly twice as long as the mean time (27.0 vs 14.6 minutes); however, this patient fully recovered by the 3-month follow-up evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this is the largest study with the longest follow-up duration to date after single-position prone LLIF at L4–5 with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. Although 34% of patients reported ipsilateral sensory symptoms in the thigh at the 6-week follow-up evaluation, only 1 patient sustained a nerve injury; this resulted in temporary weakness that resolved by the 3-month follow-up evaluation. Thus, longer transpsoas retractor time at L4–5 during prone LLIF is associated with increased ipsilateral thigh symptoms at 6-week follow-up that may resolve over time.

Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

Outcomes research on unilateral coronal synostosis is mostly limited to the early postoperative period. This study examines facial asymmetry, desire for revision, and patient-reported outcomes at school age in children who received either endoscopic strip craniectomy with helmet therapy or fronto-orbital advancement (open repair).

METHODS

Patients with repaired unilateral coronal synostosis born between 2000 and 2017, with 3D photographs taken when they were between 3.5 and 8 years of age, were eligible for study inclusion. Three pairs of bilateral linear measurements and two angular measurements were taken. Parent- and physician-reported desire for revision and patient-reported outcomes (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System cognitive function and Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders stigma scores) were collected from patient charts.

RESULTS

Thirty-five patients qualified, including 25 with open repair and 10 with endoscopic repair. The median patient ages at repair were 3 months and 8 months in the endoscopic and open groups, respectively. The average ages at final 3D photography were 5.8 years and 5.5 years in the endoscopic and open groups, respectively. Digital anthropometry revealed no significant differences in measures of facial asymmetry between the repair groups (p ≥ 0.211). Midface depth (tragion to subnasale) was significantly less symmetric at school age than other linear measures (F(2,102) = 9.14, p < 0.001). Forehead asymmetry was significantly associated with parent- and physician-reported desire for revision (p ≤ 0.006). No significant associations were found between physical asymmetry and patient-reported stigma or cognitive function (p > 0.046, Holm-Bonferroni correction).

CONCLUSIONS

Children who underwent open or endoscopic repair for unilateral coronal synostosis have comparable facial symmetry at school age, but midface depth remains highly asymmetrical in both groups. Forehead asymmetry at school age correlates with parent- and physician-reported desire for revision.

Published: February 2022

La presente investigación buscó analizar las concepciones que tienen los docentes y estudiantes del grado noveno de la Institución Educativa Sagrado Corazón de Jesús del corregimiento del Ingenio, municipio de Sandoná, acerca del desarrollo de las tareas escolares en la búsqueda del aprendizaje significativo en la asignatura de Biología, para generar acciones de mejoramiento a través de una guía con alternativas didácticas. Se utilizó un paradigma cualitativo, con enfoque hermenéutico y de tipo descriptivo. La recolección de información se realizó por medio de la entrevista semiestructurada dirigida a docentes, entrevista grupo focal a estudiantes, análisis documental: lista de chequeo a los cuadernos de la asignatura de Biología y taller de reflexión diagnóstica y evaluación a estudiantes, con el fin de ahondar en la relación de las tareas escolares y el aprendizaje significativo que conlleva su realización. El procesamiento de la información se aplicó con la teoría fundamentada, a través de un método de vaciado en matrices de proposiciones, triangulación de instrumentos y categorías inductivas, codificando y reduciendo por recurrencias. En síntesis, al hablar de concepciones acerca del desarrollo de las tareas escolares en los docentes, se hace referencia a obtener nuevos conocimientos y reforzar temáticas; sin embargo, se evidencia que no presentan una planeación de la tarea escolar en aspectos como tiempo, propósito, lugar y materiales. Por otra parte, entre las concepciones que se destaca en los estudiantes, está el reconocer la tarea escolar como un deber hacia el docente, a través de una nota valorativa, limitando la actitud, la apropiación de conocimientos y motivación frente a ésta, refiriendo un escaso aprendizaje significativo al momento de desarrollarla.

Spotlight on: Humanities in speech and language therapy
Authors: Walsh Irene P. , Mallinson Alexandra
Published: February 2022

In this ‘Spotlight on: Humanities in speech and language therapy’, we argue the case for the arts and humanities to find its way into speech and language therapy (SLT) course curricula, clinical practicum, and other areas related to SLT professional practice. We have a long-held belief that the arts and humanities have much to offer the discipline of speech and language therapy. This review begins with a consideration of what is meant by health humanities, within the more traditionally termed ‘medical humanities’. Considerations for curricular inclusion are also presented. An example from a literary autobiographical work is used to illustrate the possibility and potential of integrating a humanities’ approach to a speech and language therapy curriculum in order to better understand and appreciate communication and communication breakdown. Finally, although the case is made in this review for the discipline of speech and language therapy to embrace the humanities, by implication, there is no reason why other healthcare programmes cannot consider the possibility, where better understanding of the human condition of health and illness is core to teaching and learning.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Vibration training is an adjuvant to muscle-strengthening exercises. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short-term effects of direct vibration on the deep trunk muscles of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP). METHODS: Participants with non-specific CLBP were randomly placed into two groups: the vibration-plus stabilization exercise (VSE) group (n= 31) and the conventional stabilization exercise (CSE) group (n= 31). The groups underwent 12 sessions of an exercise program. The thickness and activity of the trunk muscles were measured using ultrasonography and surface electromyography. RESULTS: Ultrasonography revealed that the ratio of muscle thickness to contraction and relaxation was statistically increased after exercise in the bilateral transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus (LM) muscles in the CSE group (p= 0.031), and in the bilateral TrA, LM, and internal oblique (IO) muscles in the VSE group (p< 0.001). The LM/lumbar erector spinae (LES) ratio in the CSE group (p= 0.037), and the IO/rectus abdominis (RA), TrA/RA, and LM/LES ratios in the VSE group (p= 0.019) were statistically increased. Multiple regression analysis showed that symptom improvement was related to increased activity of the deep trunk muscles in the VSE group (p< 0.001). CONCLUSION: Direct vibration can increase the selective activity of contracting deep trunk muscles.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) mostly suffer from muscle-related pain. Several conservative interventions have been suggested as treatments for TMD in the last years. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of rehabilitative approaches in reducing pain in patients with muscle-related TMD. METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception until April 28th, 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) presenting: patients with painful muscle-related TMD; rehabilitative approaches as interventions; placebo or sham treatment as comparisons; pain intensity, using visual analogue scale as outcome. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the overall effect on painful muscle-related TMD patients. PROSPERO registration number of this systematic review is CRD42021251904. RESULTS: Out of 1997 papers suitable for title/abstract screening, 189 articles were assessed for eligibility. Sixteen RCTs were included and most of them (n= 6, 37.5%) investigated the effects of the laser therapy. The meta-analysis revealed that rehabilitative interventions had a significant overall effect size (ES) of 1.44 (p< 0.0001) in decreasing pain in patients with muscle-related disorders. CONCLUSION: Findings of this systematic review with meta-analysis suggested that rehabilitative approaches might be effective in reducing pain in muscle-related TMD patients. However, the low number of RCTs evaluating conservative approaches might impair the synthesis of evidence regarding the different techniques, calling for caution in the interpretation of these results.
The impact of nociplastic pain features on the response to physical therapy in patients with primary myofascial pain

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Myofascial pain is a common, but poorly understood multifactorial condition. OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed how the degree of central sensitization (nociplastic pain) can impact the response to physical therapy for patients with myofascial pain. METHODS: This prospective, observational cohort study compared pain phenotyping and functional measures in 30 participants with non-acute neck/shoulder girdle primary myofascial pain following 3-months of physical therapy. The Fibromyalgia Survey Questionnaire Score served as a surrogate of central sensitization. RESULTS: All participants demonstrated some benefit from physical therapy; however, those with moderate levels of nociplastic pain features were less likely to have clinically significant improvements on the Neck Disability Index, PEG score, or pain catastrophizing measures. Those with higher levels of nociplastic pain had a similar chance of showing improvement as those with lower levels, except regarding catastrophizing. Significant improvements were independent of the type or amount of therapy received. CONCLUSION: The degree of nociplastic pain in patients with myofascial pain appears to be inversely related to improvements from a peripherally based treatment. This is not to say that individuals with moderate to higher levels of nociplastic pain do not benefit from physical therapy, but they proportionally benefit less.
Short Term Economic Evaluation of the Digital Platform “Support, Monitoring and Reminder Technology for Mild Dementia” (SMART4MD) for People with Mild Cognitive Impairment and their Informal Caregivers
Authors: Ghani Zartashia , Saha Sanjib , Jarl Johan , Andersson Martin , Berglund Johan Sanmartin , Anderberg Peter
Published: February 2022

Background: A randomized controlled trial of the SMART4MD tablet application was conducted for persons with mild cognitive impairment (PwMCI) and their informal caregivers to improve or maintain quality of life. Objective: The objective was to conduct economic evaluation of SMART4MD compared to standard care in Sweden from a healthcare provider perspective based on a 6-month follow-up period. Methods: Three hundred forty-five dyads were enrolled: 173 dyads in the intervention group and 172 in standard care. The primary outcome measures for PwMCI and informal caregivers were quality-adjusted life years (QALY). The results are presented as incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, and confidence intervals are calculated using non-parametric bootstrap procedure. Results: For PwMCI, the mean difference in total costs between intervention and standard care was € 12 (95% CI: –2090 to 2115) (US$ = € 1.19) and the mean QALY change was –0.004 (95% CI: –0.009 to 0.002). For informal caregivers, the cost difference was – € 539 (95% CI: –2624 to 1545) and 0.003 (95% CI: –0.002 to 0.008) for QALY. The difference in cost and QALY for PwMCI and informal caregivers combined was –€ 527 (95% CI: –3621 to 2568) and –0.001 (95% CI: –0.008 to 0.006). Although generally insignificant differences, this indicates that SMART4MD, compared to standard care was: 1) more costly and less effective for PwMCI, 2) less costly and more effective for informal caregivers, and 3) less costly and less effective for PwMCI and informal caregivers combined. Conclusion: The cost-effectiveness of SMART4MD over 6 months is inconclusive, although the intervention might be more beneficial for informal caregivers than PwMCI
Efficacy of a Virtual Education Program for Family Caregivers of Persons Living with Dementia
Authors: Noel Margaret A. , Lackey Elizabeth , Labi Vanna , Bouldin Erin D.
Published: February 2022

Background: Family caregivers of people with dementia often experience negative impacts including stress and burden. Psychoeducational programs can reduce these negative outcomes. Objective: To evaluate whether this virtual caregiver education program changes caregiver confidence, self-efficacy, and burden relative to controls. Methods: This was a pre-post comparison of a five-week, synchronous, virtual caregiver education program delivered by a clinician and caregiver support specialist covering aspects of dementia, including changes in cognition, behavior, functional abilities, caregiver-care recipient roles, communication, and caregiver self-care. Caregivers (n = 90) were surveyed at baseline, at completion of intervention, and three months thereafter; controls (n = 44) were surveyed at two points six weeks apart. We compared validated measures of caregiver confidence, self-efficacy, and burden using generalized estimating equations. Results: Participants’ confidence and self-efficacy increased over follow-up compared with controls (p < 0.01 for intervention*time in regression models). There was no difference in burden. All participants (100%) reported perceived increased knowledge, 97% perceived increased confidence, and 95% perceived increased ability to manage dementia-related behaviors after the course. Conclusion: This virtual caregiver education program was effective in improving caregiver confidence and self-efficacy and participants’ self-reported impact was equivalent to those who had taken previous courses in person. Caregivers with greater confidence and self-efficacy have been shown to have better health outcomes and decreased stress and depressive symptoms. Health professionals, health care organizations, and public health agencies should consider using efficacious virtual caregiver education programs in rural and other community settings, during public health crises, or in standard practice as an alternative to in-person programs.
Temporal Phenotypic Changes in Huntington’s Disease Models for Preclinical Studies
Authors: St-Cyr Sophie , Smith Alicia R. , Davidson Beverly L.
Published: February 2022

Background: Mouse models bearing genetic disease mutations are instrumental in the development of therapies for genetic disorders. Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late-onset lethal dominant genetic disorder due to a CAG repeat within exon 1 of the Huntingtin (Htt) gene. Several mice were developed to model HD through the expression of a transgenic fragment (exon 1 of the human HTT), the knock-in mutation of the CAG repeat in the context of the mouse Htt gene, or the full-length HTT human gene. The different mouse models present distinct onset, symptoms, and progression of the disease. Objective: The objective of this study is to advise on the best behavioral tests to assess disease progression in three HD mouse models. Methods: We tested N171-82Q transgenic mice, zQ175 knock-in mice, and BACHD full-length mice in a comprehensive behavior test battery in early, mid-, and late disease stages. Results: We contrast and compare the models and the emerging phenotypes with the available literature. These results suggest the most effective behavioral tests and appropriate sample sizes to detect treatment efficacy in each model at the different ages. We provide options for early detection of motor deficits while minimizing testing time and training. Conclusion: This information will inform researchers in the HD field as to which mouse model, tests and sample sizes can accurately and sensitively detect treatment efficacy in preclinical HD research.

Published: February 2022

In multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem, the decision maker deal with a situation where the sum of membership and non-membership grade of an attributes does not belongs to [0, 1]. To avoid such a situation, we proposed a new type of fuzzy system known as fermatean fuzzy system. More precisely, we presented the notion of fermatean fuzzy ideal theory and rough fermatean fuzzy sets in semigroups. The idea of lower and upper approximation in fermatean fuzzy sets has been initiated. The study has been further extended to rough fermatean fuzzy left(resp. right, interior) ideals in semigroup. Several results related to this notion are determined.
A study on bilateral matching of team-science talents in new R&D institutions based on grey correlation-cloud model
Authors: Lin Jiang , Jianjun Zhu , Nanehkaran Y.A.
Published: February 2022

The problem of bilateral matching of teams and scientific and technical talents is studied in new R&D institutions with different forms of uncertain assessment information. A decision method is proposed based on a combination of grey correlation and cloud model. The method firstly applies interval grey numbers to characterize uncertain assessment score information and cloud models to characterize uncertain linguistic assessment information; secondly, the two different pieces of information are converted into grey correlation coefficients by applying grey correlation analysis methods to the assessment values, so as to solve indicator weights, and assemble assessment data based on indicator weights and cloud models; finally, the bilateral matching model is constructed and the matching results are solved based on the cloud model data features and the dual objectives of maximum satisfaction and minimum uncertainty. The case analysis and method comparison show that the method is feasible and effective.

THE NEW PARADIGM OF SURAH AL FATIHAH BASED ON THE KEY CONCEPTS OF SOCIAL INTERPRETATION OF DAWAM RAHARJO
Authors: Janah Miftahul , Haerudin Haerudin
Published: February 2022

When interpreting the Qur'an, a mufassir needs a paradigm and a foundation as the procedures and stages that become his reference. This paper attempts to discuss the paradigm and concept of interpretation promoted by Dawam Rahardjo, namely al-Fātiḥah as the Qur'an in a nutshell which is contained in the work of the Ensiklopedi Al-Quran: Tafsir Sosial Berdasarkan Konsep-Konsep Kunci. Two objectives in this study, first, the arguments that make al-Fātiḥah a paradigm and the extent to which these arguments can be justified. Second, steps, systematics and forms of interpretation by positioning al-Fātiḥah as a paradigm and its shortcomings in interpreting the Qur'an. This research is in the form of library research in the form of descriptive-analysis and uses content analysis as the analytical method used. This discussion concludes that there are two verses of the Qur'an, namely QS. Ali Imran (03): 07 and QS. al-Hijr (15): 87 as the basis and form three conceptual frameworks of al-Fātiḥah as a paradigm of interpretation of the Qur'an, namely the term ummu al-kitab as the attribution of surah al-Fātiḥah, the two ummu al-kitab referred to as muḥkām and the last term al-sab'u al-maṡāni which is also understood as al-Fātiḥah. The weakness in the argument that is built is in the redefinition of muḥkām or mutasyabīh which do not have clear standards and references. While the form of interpretation with this concept ends with a systematic form of thematic presentation with two steps or procedures, namely departing from the key terms in Surat al-Fātiḥah (inductive) and starting from other than Surat al-Fātiḥah then returning to Surat al-Fātiḥah (deductive). The first procedure has difficulties in developing the -evolutionist dimension-, while the second procedure will be very subjective because of the difficulty of matching the interpreted verse with the terms in Surah al-Fātiḥah.

This article discusses the tendency of Tafsīr 'Ilmī in Imam Suyuti's interpretation of the plague verses. Interestingly, as a classical commentator, he interprets the plague verses in his commentary books using the traditions of the Prophet (naqli), but he explains about the plague in addition to his commentary books by referring to the interpretation of the plague verses which are supported by scientific data. To analyze the tendency of this interpretation (ittijāh al-tafsīr), the researcher uses the theory of scientific interpretation. This research is qualitative in nature and uses content analysis methods, especially the istiqra (inductive) method. The istiqra method is used to analyze his interpretation of the plague verses that are spread in his commentaries and his books on epidemics and medicine. The purpose of this study is to reveal the indications of the trend of scientific interpretation explored by Imam Suyūt}ī in his books on epidemics and medicine by referring to his interpretations in his commentary books, so this research is urgent to confirm the historical roots and dynamics of Tafsīr 'Ilmī, whose epistemological tendency has emerged in the era of classical scholars. The results of this study are, first, in general, the method of interpretation of Imam Suyūt}ī is bi al-ma'ṣūr. Second, Imam Suyūtī's interpretation of the plague verses in Ṭā'ūn and medical themed books tends to 'Ilmi' Tafsir in terms of a more scientific explanation of the narrations that are in accordance with science, medical and socio-historical. Third, the scientific tendency in Imam Suyūt}ī's interpretation is in historical and medical.
Foetal Limb in Bladder: A rare complication of vesicouterine fistula
Authors: Singh Khwairakpam Amitkumar , Singh Khoirom Tomba , Singh Khoirom Siddhartha
Published: February 2022

Vesicouterine  fistula(VUF) is a rare urogenital fistula and more rarer is the pregnancy in its presence. Even  if pregnancy occurs the outcomes appears to be very poor .Most of the cases are related to iatrogenic bladder injury during caesarean section. There is very limited literature on the pregnancy with VUF associated with herniation of foetus or foetal part(s)  into the bladder cavity. Here we report a case of pregnancy in a known case of  untreated VUF. She presented at 23 weeks of gestation with features of premature rupture of membrane and herniation of foetal left lower limb inside the bladder cavity. Her pregnancy ended up with hysterotomy and removal of non-viable foetus along with fistula repair. So, regardless of the severity of the signs and symptoms associated with VUF clinicians  should  convince the patients for repair of the fistula especially if  future pregnancy is contemplated .

Authors: Choudhary Subham , Sethi Dr. Kanika sekhri , Nanda Dr. Satyan , Mehndiratta Dr. Manmohan , Handa Dr Rahul
Published: February 2022

Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) is usually due to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, resulting in loss of CSF volume. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is the inability of the posterior circulation of the brain to autoregulate in response to significant variation in blood pressure. Altered perfusion with associated blood-brain barrier disruption may lead to vasogenic edema, usually without infarction, commonly in the parieto-occipital regions. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain & Spine and cerebral MR venography (MRV) are essential tools for diagnosing clinically suspected SIH and PRES. We present a case of SIH associated with PRES in an 18-year-young gentleman.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is exceedingly rare to occur intracerebrally. The incidence of this subtype is 0.001%. Their typical origin is from peripheral nerves of the limbs, trunk, and lumbar and brachial plexuses. It carries a poor prognosis despite aggressive management due to high chances of local recurrence. We present a case of MPNST occurring intracerebrally in a 60-year-old male patient. Imaging showed a 63 × 74 × 46 mm mass lesion in the left temporoparietal region with mass effect. The patient underwent left temporoparietal craniotomy with maximum gross dissection of the tumor. Histopathology was suggestive of spindle cell neoplasm. On immunohistochemistry, cells were positive for S-100 and SOX-10, which are consistent with the diagnosis of MPNST. The post-operative contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging brain showed gross residual disease. Post-operative radiotherapy was given of intensity-modulated radiation therapy and chemotherapy of doxorubicin and ifosfamide.

Child sexual abuse: historical aspects, legal and harm to child development
Authors: Gonçalves Natamy de Almeida , Dias Camila Santos
Published: February 2022

Because it is a violence that plagues several children and adolescents in the world throughout history, child sexual abuse requires close attention, considering that it is a complex phenomenon and, in many cases, difficult to identify, being the abuser usually a trusted person of the family and who is expected to take care of the victim, as biological parents, stepfathers, uncles or close friends, for example. In addition, most cases of sexual abuse occur in the victim’s own home, where little is expected of the child and adolescent to be in a vulnerable situation. Based on the factors described, this research presents the following guide question: what is sexual abuse and what are its impacts on child development? This article aimed to review the historical and legal aspects of sexual abuse, exploring the complexities of its definitions and presenting the possible effects on the victim. For this, a bibliographic review of qualitative, descriptive and exploratory character was made, raising reflections on the theme. It was seen that the child and the adolescent did not always have legal support, having suffered several violence without the due punishment to their aggressors. Over time, laws were being instituted and, in Brazil, the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) had marked a time of determination of rights of childhood and adolescence, establishing protection mechanisms, including against violence such as sexual abuse. Finally, it was considered in this study that there is a lack of information to the population on the subject, which corroborates the reproduction of the aforementioned offense. It was observed that, considering the damage to the biopsychosocial health of the victim and his/her family, studies and prevention projects were made, as well as instituted different forms of reporting this crime. It was concluded that there is a need to prepare strategies to prepare families, professionals and institutions responsible for guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents so that they can contribute to strengthening the fight against sexual abuse.
Сексуальное насилие над детьми: исторические аспекты, правовые и вред для развития ребенка
Authors: Gonçalves Natamy de Almeida , Dias Camila Santos
Published: February 2022

Поскольку это насилие, которое поражает нескольких детей и подростков в мире на протяжении всей истории, сексуальное насилие над детьми требует пристального внимания, учитывая, что это сложное явление и, во многих случаях, трудно идентифицировать, поскольку насильник обычно является доверенным лицом семьи и который должен заботиться о жертве, как биологические родители, отчимы, дяди или близкие друзья, например. Кроме того, большинство случаев сексуального надругательства происходит в собственном доме жертвы, где мало что ожидается от ребенка и подростка в уязвимом положении. Основываясь на описанных факторах, это исследование представляет следующий вопрос: что такое сексуальное насилие и каковы его последствия для развития ребенка? Целью данной статьи было рассмотрение исторических и правовых аспектов сексуального насилия, изучение сложностей его определений и представление возможных последствий для жертвы. Для этого был сделан библиографический обзор качественного, описательного и исследовательского характера, поднимающий размышления по теме. Было замечено, что ребенок и подросток не всегда имеют юридическую поддержку, потерпев несколько раз насилия без надлежащего наказания своих агрессоров. Со временем принимаются законы, и в Бразилия Статут о детях и подростках (ECA) ознаменовал собой время определения прав детей и подростков, создания механизмов защиты, в том числе от насилия, такого как сексуальные надругательства. Наконец, в этом исследовании было рассмотрено, что существует недостаток информации для населения по этому вопросу, что подтверждает воспроизведение вышеупомянутого правонарушения. Было отмечено, что с учетом ущерба, нанесенного биопсихосоциальному здоровью жертвы и его/ее семьи, были проведены исследования и профилактические проекты, а также введены различные формы сообщения об этом преступлении. Был сделан вывод о необходимости разработки стратегий подготовки семей, специалистов и учреждений, отвечающих за гарантирование прав детей и подростков, с тем чтобы они могли вносить вклад в усиление борьбы с сексуальными надругательствами.

Authors: Taus Alfonsus Liquori , Tahuk Paulus Klau , Kia Kristoforus W
Published: February 2022

This study aims to determine the water holding capacity, moisture content and crude fiber content of chicken nuggets made using different types of flour as a binder. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Nusa Cendana University, Kupang for 1 week. The method used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were P1 (making nuggets with porang flour), P2 (making nuggets with tapioca flour), and P3 (making nuggets with wheat flour). The variables observed in this study included water holding capacity, water content and crude fiber content. The data obtained were analyzed using the Anova test and Duncan's test. The results of the study showed that the water holding capacity of chicken nuggets P1, P2, P3 were 36.956%, 34.621%, 32.756%, respectively. The water content of chicken nuggets was 64.17%, 59.95%, 57.71%, respectively. The crude fiber content of chicken nuggets is 1.387%, 1.169%, and 0.638% respectively. The statistical analysis showed that the treatment had a significant effect on the water holding capacity of chicken nuggets, water content of chicken nuggets and crude fiber content of chicken nuggets (P<0.05). It was concluded that the water content of chicken nuggets made from wheat flour and tapioca was in accordance with SNI, while the production of nuggets made from porang flour exceeded the Indonesian National Standard, but porang flour had the advantage of being able to bind water better.
Legal Bases and Issues Concerning Gender and Development in the Philippines

Published: February 2022

The cry and fight for equality among humans can be seen even during time immemorial. The sex clash between the male and female remains the society's problem wherein the female class is regarded as the weak genus compared to the male species. The females are left to take care of the menial household duties, wherein it is for the taking care of the children, the husband and the family as a whole. The duties of the female class may not be disregarded because they perform one of the most important parts of molding the society for the better future as Agoncillo, 1990, “Women before the coming of the Spaniards enjoyed a unique position in society that their descendants during the Spanish occupation did not enjoy. Customary laws gave them the right to be equal to men, for they could own and inherit property, engage in trade and industry, and succeed in the chieftainship of a barangay without a male heir. Then, too, they have the exclusive right to give names to their children. As a sign of deep respect, the men, when accompanying women, walked behind them”. The historian's note plays an important role in reaping and re-empower the women as acknowledged by no less than the supreme law of the land, which is the 1987 Philippine Constitution. This paper aims to revisit and be reminded about the roles of women in society and how it may even further encourage professional treatment in the workplace and in society; specifically, it will look into: What is the meaning of gender and development? What are the legal bases that support the program of government for gender and development programs? How may the government protect the rights of women? The findings of the study: The government must monitor the implementation of the laws. The government and civil society must collaborate to further promote women’s rights. The government must make sure that the distribution of positions in the government is through merit and fitness. The government must be vigilant for female overseas workers and should see to it that they are not being exploited or their rights are violated by foreign employers. The government should invite the participation of all sectors in the proper observance and implementation of the laws, rules and regulations that promote Gender equality The study presented the legal bases through the available data, primarily government documents. The scope of the research concentrates on the policies affecting the rights and interests of women to compare and analyze through the records and media interviews. A case study is appropriate for this study because researchers have used the case study research method for many years across a variety of disciplines. Social scientists, in particular, have made wide use of this qualitative research method to examine contemporary real-life situations and provide the basis for the application of ideas and extension of methods.

We report the first record of Torilis pseudonodosa Bianca (Apiaceae) from Ukraine. It was found on 28th of May 2021 in the “Potiivska” section of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve near the village of Zaliznyi Port (Southern Ukraine). Torilis pseudonodosa previously was known from various countries in the Mediterranean Basin and Western Asia, but not from Ukraine nor elsewhere in Eastern Europe. We discovered a hitherto unknown population of Torilis pseudonodosa during the 15th EDGG Field Workshop, an international expedition of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) taking place in Southern Ukraine, from 23 May to 2 June 2021. We present the taxon, its morphology and general distribution, describe its first Ukrainian site ecologically and coenologically and provide photos of the site and the species. The species occurred in a saline steppe, close to the Black Sea coast. The vegetation was dominated by Agropyron pectinatum and Halimione verrucifera, with Artemisia santonica, Festuca callieri agg., Milium vernale and Vicia hirsuta as subdominants. The classification of the saline steppe of the “Potiivska” section of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve near is problematic, because species composition represents a mixture of steppic and halophytic plants. A definitive decision would require comprehensive phytosociological analyses. Since there was no indication of anthropogenic influence at the site, we assume that Torilis pseudonodosa reached it as a result of natural migration of its propagules (e.g. with birds). Thus, the species can be considered as nonsynathropic in the flora of Ukraine.
