Challenges of Intermediary Translation: Analyzing Inaccuracies in the Armenian Translation of Nansen’s Work ‘Armenia and the Near East’
Authors: Ayunts Anoush , Mkhitaryan Hasmik
Published: December 2024

Intermediary translation is a mode of translation that involves the usage of an intermediate language. In this process, the original source language is translated into an intermediate language, which is then translated into the final target language. This approach is used when the translator is not proficient in both the source and target languages, but is proficient in the intermediate one. In this case, an intermediate language can be used as a “bridge” to facilitate the translation process. However, intermediary translation also has its drawbacks. One major issue is that it can lead to inaccuracies in the final translation. When using an intermediate language, there is a risk of losing some of the semantic nuances and subtleties of the original text. This can result in a translation not entirely faithful to the original meaning. The case under study are the translations of F. Nansen’s work Armenia and the Near East. Through a comparative analysis of the English, German and Armenian versions some significant inaccuracies were revealed.
Translation Properties of Vulgar and Invective Vocabulary in Political Media Discourse
Authors: Gasparyan Gayane , Ishkhanyan Meri
Published: December 2024

The present research is an attempt to specify vulgar and invective vocabulary in modern political media discourse and to determine their translation properties (from English into Russian and Armenian, from Russian into English and Armenian, from Armenian into English and Russian) within the frames of pragmatic and socio-cultural discourse analyses. The article aims at indicating the language code differences in terms of cultures. Such analysis fosters also the determination of ways and methods of transmitting discrepancies between positive and negative connotations of various language units and to create the balance of emphatic equivalence when translating from source languages (SLs) into target languages (TLs). Invectives contain universal cultural values, they indicate aggression, anger, hostility and indignity. To translate invective proverbs, aphorisms, jargon, obscenities, the translator uses various transformations to pragmatically adapt them for the target cultural environment, since the source culture cognitive principles do not always coincide with those of the target culture.
Mediated Translation of Films: A Cross-Linguistic and Cross-Cultural Analysis of “Gone in 60 Seconds”
Authors: Sargsyan Lusine , Voskanyan Markuhi
Published: December 2024

The present study focuses on the notion of equivalence in film translation through comparative analysis that enables to get new insights into its lexical, grammatical and stylistic peculiarities. Translating films involves careful consideration of various elements, adding complexity to the process of translation for this particular medium. Different approaches employed by translators in rendering the text significantly impact the attainment of equivalence in the realm of film translation. This objective is fulfilled by exploring key methods of film translation, notably dubbing and subtitling, along with their widespread use and the evolution of their history. One of the most complicated tasks in film translation is to accurately transfer the linguistic features and cultural values into the target language. The data analysis of the research aims to reveal the role of intermediary language in film translation. The text analysis utilized in this study relies on qualitative analysis. By comparing the source text with the target one, an attempt has been made to highlight their similarities and differences and whether the source text has undergone any major transformations in the course of mediated translation. Thus, some linguistic and cultural issues dealing with mediated translation have been examined and a number of conclusions have been drawn.

Authors: Ahat Muratoğlu Ümmü , Organ Arzu
Published: December 2024

Choosing the right sustainable supplier is a critical decision problem for businesses. Due to the increase in the number of competitors, the increase in evaluation criteria and the difficulty in defining evaluation criteria, the need for reliable methodologies that work with high accuracy increases as the complexity of the selection problem increases. This article discusses a new approach to the problem of sustainable supplier selection based on the Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods. In the study, firstly the sustainable supplier selection criteria have been reduced to four criteria by the ANFIS method. For sustainable supplier performance evaluation, ANFIS model and ANN model were developed. Multiple regression analysis was performed to compare the performance success of both models. The model with the highest success rate was determined as ANFIS model. At the end of the study, the most suitable sustainable supplier selection was made with ANFIS model.

This study aims to examine the relationship between Locus of Control (LOC), Naturalistic Intelligence (NI), and Behavioral Citizenship (BC) in the context of sustainable cities in Indonesia. The primary objective is to investigate how LOC influences BC and the mediating role of NI in this relationship. The research was conducted in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, with a sample of 200 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, and analysis was performed using Path Analysis with SmartPLS software. The key findings demonstrate that LOC positively impacts both NI and BC, with NI serving as a significant mediator between LOC and BC. Individuals with a high sense of control over their lives and strong naturalistic intelligence are more likely to engage in pro-environmental and community-oriented behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of psychological factors in promoting sustainable citizenship behaviors. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the role of naturalistic intelligence as a crucial mediator in the relationship between personal control and active citizenship. It also offers practical insights for urban policymakers and community leaders, emphasizing the need to incorporate environmental education and psychological empowerment into urban sustainability programs to foster greater community engagement and responsibility.

Различия в адаптации отраслевого российского бизнеса разного размера к внешним шокам
Authors: Блохин А.А. , Сергеев Ю.В.
Published: December 2024

Сравниваются изменения, происходившие в отраслях российской промышленности: Нефтегазовая, Угольная, Цветная металлургия, Машиностроение, Химическая, Легкая, Бумажная, Деревообрабатывающая – по периодам: до шоков (2018–2019 годы) и во время шоков 2020–2021 годов и 2022 года. С этой целью по информационной базе данных СПАРК-Интерфакс построена выборка из около 2000 компаний с объемом реализации свыше 800 млн руб. в год. В них выделены три группы: компании-лидеры, компании второго и третьего эшелонов. Показано, что в первый из этих шоков изменения носили в основном структурный характер. С 2022 года заметны начавшиеся подвижки архитектуры рынков. В тех отраслях, где до шоков абсолютно лидировали российские компании, группа лидеров упрочила свои позиции, однако – за счет некоторого смещения на аффилированные с ними компании. Там, где лидерская группа еще не была четко консолидирована активное развитие имеет второй эшелон компаний. В легкой промышленности и машиностроении уход лидировавших ранее зарубежных компаний вызвал заметную перестройку в составе лидеров с обострением конкуренции между компаниями-претендентами на будущее лидерство. Влияние государственной поддержки на изменение архитектуры рынков в данном исследовании пока не выявлено, однако обосновывается, что по мере консолидации крупного российского бизнеса в отраслях, начнет выстраиваться более амбициозная промышленная политика.

The purpose of this study was to compare the influence the decision-making process of principals in Public and Mission secondary schools has on school performance in. Seven hundred and eleven (711) questionnaires were used to collect data on the influence of the decision making by consultation, delegation of powers, communication and motivation from 08 public and 05 Mission secondary schools. These schools had a population of 665 and 224 teachers respectively. The sample for the study was five hundred and twelve (512) teachers for public schools and one hundred and ninety-nine (199) teachers for mission schools. Ten (10) interview guides were administered to principals. A descriptive research design and a mix method of qualitative and quantitative approach was adopted for the study. Taro Yamani sampling and simple random sampling techniques were employed. The instruments were subjected to form and content validation by some teachers and principals of secondary schools in Limbe. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument which yielded a high reliability coefficient for public schools 0.797 and for mission schools the coefficient was 0 .907. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significant. Based on the findings, it was revealed that consulting of teachers, delegation of powers, effective communication and motivation of teachers during decision-making had a strong positive relationship with school performance. The coefficient was 0.753 and 0.903 for consultation, 0.620 and 0.798 for delegating powers, 0.772 and 0.951 for effective communication and for motivation, it was 0.685 and 0.895 respectively. It was therefore recommended that principals of public schools during decision-making should always consult, delegate powers, carry out effective communication and motivate their teachers as carried out in mission secondary schools for excellent school performance. Thus, the decision making process of principals in mission secondary schools positively influence school performance more than that which is carried out in public secondary schools in Limbe Sub-Division, Fako Division.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, voters turnout in local government election in many states in Nigeria have been generally low. In spite of the fact that it is the closest level of government to the people, political participation among voters in terms of voting has not be encouraging. This has culminated into poor service delivery, lack of motivation for politicians to develop policies at the local level, imposition of candidates, among others. Ondo state, one of the 36 states in Nigeria, has witnessed low turnout of voters’ participation in local government election. While there are theoretical and empirical studies on low participation of voters in local government election in Nigeria, only a few studies have been conducted in Ondo State. The study, therefore examined voter apathy and local government election in Ondo state. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques of research methods were used to analyze and interpret data for the study. The study employed stratified random sampling techniques to select three hundred respondents for the survey and purposive sampling to select one hundred and twenty participants for the Focus Group Discussions. Structured questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion were used to collect primary data from the respondents. Data collected from the survey were analyzed using frequency count and simple percentage as descriptive statistics, while data elicited from Focus Group Discussion were subjected to content analysis whereby information was assembled, analysed and was used to complement the analysis of the survey. Findings of the study revealed poor service delivery by local government, imposition, lack of credible candidates and poor organization of the State Electoral Commission as factors contributing to voter apathy in local government election in Ondo State. The study therefore recommended local government autonomy, strengthening of local government in area of service delivery, and enactment of National Independent Electoral Body to oversee the conduct of elections into loca government areas, among others.

Published: December 2024

The present study evaluated paternal and maternal stress levels while taking care of their children with learning disabilities in Inclusive Basic Schools in Abuja, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The study population was 2007 parents of children with learning disabilities from twenty (20) Inclusive Basic Schools across the six Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Three hundred fourteen (314) samples were recruited using the Krejcie and Morgan formula. Parental Stress Scale (PSS) by Berry and Jones (1995) was utilized to measure stress levels among the samples. Descriptive statistics was employed in data analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Results revealed that the mother had a stress mean score of 48.39±5.68 and the father had a stress mean score of 48.83±5.33 with a t-value of -0.710 and a p-value of 0.478. Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, it means that there is no significant difference between the mean score of the stress of the mother and the father while taking care of their children with learning disabilities. The study recommends that fathers with high stress levels should be involved in the stress management group available in inclusive basic schools. In addition, school administrators should provide training programs for parents of children with learning disabilities in inclusive basic schools towards alleviating their stress due to caregiving.
An Analysis of Market Participation Determinants among Smallholder Goat Farmers in Gwanda District, Zimbabwe
Authors: Setoboli Tsepeso , Moyo Primrose , Sibanda Emmanuel , Tshuma Nothando
Published: December 2024

Small ruminants, such as goats, have significant income potential if marketed effectively. However, the market participation of smallholder farmers in most Sub-Saharan African countries remains very low, despite the potential benefits. In developing countries, particularly in rural communities, poverty and poor living standards are prevalent, indicating low income and limited income sources. Therefore, enhancing market participation is crucial. This study analyses the determinants of market participation among smallholder goat farmers in Gwanda District, Zimbabwe, using primary data. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 100 smallholder goat farmers in Gwanda District, and data were collected using questionnaires. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing goat market participation. The results revealed that most smallholder farmers producing goats were market participants. Significant factors affecting market participation included gender, marital status, household size, the number of goats owned at the beginning of the year, price, marketing experience, and the number of available markets. To enhance market participation, the study recommends that rural development projects targeting smallholder farmers should consider focusing on improving the productivity of goat enterprises so as to increase goat herd sizes, advocate for lucrative supply prices of goats, train farmers on marketing to enrich their experience, as well as linking farmers to buyers both local and in the diaspora. Future research should investigate the factors affecting the frequency of marketing and the constraints faced by smallholder goat farmers in market participation.

Women and Inheritance: Mapping Perceptions, Legal Awareness and Practices
Authors: Aggarwal Yashika
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the question of women’s empowerment has been at the center of public policy, a critical component of which involves awareness and practice of economic rights. In this regard, legal provisions such as that of inheritance become critical. Despite the existence of legal provisions guaranteeing women right to inheritance, the existing scholarship has pointed out that in many societies, inheritance laws often favor men, perpetuating gender disparities and socioeconomic inequalities. Additionally, there remains a notable gap in awareness and understanding of such legal provisions among women, especially among socioeconomically marginalized sections. This study focuses on this lesser researched domain. Through a comprehensive literature review and the use of a qualitative approach, this study uses a semi-structured questionnaire to map the existing knowledge gaps and challenges among women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The findings of this study suggest that although a significant proportion of women are aware about the existence of these laws and their rights, they nonetheless lack awareness about the specific provisions and their respective entitlements, especially considering inheritance law are further categorized according to religious identities. In addition to exploring their knowledge, this paper also attempts to investigate the nature and extent to which women usually exercise their right to inheritance in India.  The respondents of this study argue that strategies such as maintaining proper documentation of property ownership, engaging in open communication among family members, seeking professional legal advice and mediation can be helpful interventions to facilitate women in exercising their right to inheritance. The findings of this study provides critical insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and activists to develop targeted interventions to enhance women’s legal literacy, empowerment and access to social and economic equality.

In dieser Studie werden Bedeutungsaushandlungen in deutsch-finnischen Bildungsexportverhandlungen untersucht. Die Studie basiert auf einer Nexusanalyse, in der die Perspektiven situierten Handelns und Diskurse der Bildungsexportverhandlungen untersucht werden. Zu den Forschungsmaterialien gehören Videoaufnahmen von Situationen, in denen ein finnisches Bildungsexportunternehmen sein Produkt für Schulen in Deutschland und Österreich verkauft. Die Studie beleuchtet, welche Art von Bedeutungsaushandlungen sich finden und wie sie während der Verhandlungssitzungen entstehen. Die während der Verhandlungen geführten Diskurse betrafen Produkteigenschaften, technologische Lösungen, Finanzierung, pädagogische Praktiken sowie Benchmarking in Bezug auf die Situation an Schulen in Finnland. Die Analyse zeigt die Komplexität der Bedeutungsaushandlungen, die in einer technologiegestützten Verhandlungssituation geführt werden. Es wird auch deutlich, dass Bedeutungsaushandlungen eine zentrale Rolle spielen, wenn über die mögliche Einführung des Produkts in den Kundenschulen verhandelt wird. Die Studie bietet für den technologiegestützten Bildungsexport neue Perspektiven, die bei der Erneuerung aktueller Praktiken im Bildungswesen und in Unternehmen in diesem Bereich angewendet werden können.
Cadastros disciplinados na lei de combate à corrupção
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: December 2024

Este estudo tem por objeto os cadastros previstos nos artigos 22 e 23 da Lei de Combate à Corrupção – LCC (Lei 12.846/2013): o Cadastro Nacional Empresas Punidas – CNEP e o Cadastro Nacional de Empresas Inidôneas e Suspeitas – CEIS. A disciplina de ambos apresenta uma série de questões jurídicas tormentosas. O acesso ao CNEP deve ser restrito, para que haja coerência com a previsão da sanção de publicação extraordinária e de seu eventual afastamento pelo acordo de leniência. A permanência mínima no cadastro é de cinco anos, tendo em vista a previsão legal de reincidência. A imposição de sanções da LCC exige a fixação expressa do prazo máximo de manutenção no CNEP, respeitado o prazo mínimo de cinco anos, caso não haja, após o prazo mínimo, a exclusão da empresa por reabilitação. A inserção no CEIS não implica automática proibição de participar de licitação e de ser contratado pelo Poder Público, tendo em vista as diferentes abrangências das sanções de suspensão temporária e da declaração de inidoneidade. A LCC não prevê a sanção de proibição de participação de licitação e de contratação pelo poder público, sendo o art. 23 uma autêntica norma heterotópica.

Razão ou esfera pública: uma proposta teórica de transparência para as decisões judiciais do Supremo Tribunal Federal
Authors: Oliveira Wagner Vinícius de
Published: December 2024

Esse artigo pressupõe a existência de uma crescente aproximação entre as Ministras e os Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e certos sujeitos da opinião pública. Essa relação apresenta aspectos positivos para a atividade jurisdicional do STF, a exemplo do aumento da transparência, ou seja, a ampliação da visualização e da potencial compreensão dos processos decisórios. O artigo estrutura-se em duas partes e tem o objetivo principal de compreender teoricamente como as notícias jornalísticas podem ser utilizadas na fundamentação de uma decisão judicial. Primeiro, analisa-se a ideia de razão pública de acordo com John Rawls e, na sequência, situa-se o conceito de esfera pública segundo Jürgen Habermas. Utiliza-se a revisão sistemática de literatura para a análise e a confrontação dos temas referentes à esfera pública e a razão pública conforme seus expoentes teóricos. Os resultados obtidos sustentam a conclusão da maior adequação teórica entre a razão pública e a de ampliação da transparência nas decisões judiciais do STF.
Estudos sobre a vigilância: do panóptico ao big-other
Authors: Viana Ana Cristina Aguilar , Marcilio Thiago Gomes
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo visa analisar as fases do vigilantismo, desde sua intervenção material na arquitetura panóptica, até sua atuação no ambiente virtual, evidenciando as técnicas utilizadas e o processo de conversão do dado em matéria-prima da vigilância. A migração da capacidade de vigilância do Estado para o setor privado é um dos principais marcos, já que o poder sobre os corpos deixa de ser o objeto principal e o estímulo à produção de dados comercializáveis passa a ser o principal elemento das estratégias de vigilância. Passa a existir um movimento de auto-exposição individual. Mesmo assim, essas lógicas de vigilância são cumuláveis, de modo a criar e absorver dados em diferentes substratos de aplicação das tecnologias.

Com a crescente aplicação da Inteligência Artificial (IA) no Direito, este artigo tem como objetivo mapear as normas vigentes e em tramitação, no Brasil, relacionadas à aplicação da inteligência artificial no âmbito jurídico e investigar como tais normas se alinham com os direitos fundamentais. Embora a inteligência artificial possa trazer avanços para o Direito, ela também apresenta riscos: questões como privacidade, transparência, exclusão digital e a garantia de não discriminação foram identificadas como pontos sensíveis. O estudo revela que o Brasil possui um arcabouço normativo em desenvolvimento para regular a aplicação da inteligência artificial no Direito. No entanto, é essencial que essas normas sejam constantemente revisadas e atualizadas, de modo a garantir a proteção e salvaguarda dos direitos. Ainda, há a necessidade de uma abordagem que vise garantir que a inteligência.

Authors: Çobanoğlu Sedat
Published: December 2024

Devletlerin yönetim yapılarının ortaya çıkışı ve gelişim süreçleri, birer deneyim olarak devlet teşkilatının gelişimi bakımından önemli birer köşe taşı niteliğindedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada, Rus devlet yönetim sisteminin ve yerel yönetimlerinin ilk örgütlenme süreçlerinin ve temellerinin nasıl ortaya çıktığı sorgulanmıştır. Bu temel sorunsal üzerinden hareketle çalışmada, Rus idare tarihinin ilk devlet deneyimi olan Kiev Rus devletinde, önemli kararların alınmasında aktif rol oynayan ve halk meclisi olarak görülen Veçe örgütlenmeleri incelenmiştir. Bilindiği gibi günümüzde merkezi ve yerel yönetimler, geçmişte yaşanan deneyimlerden beslenmekte ve devletlerin idari tarihindeki tecrübeler, sonraki dönemlerde kamu yönetimi örgütlenmelerine aktarılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bir devletin idare tarihinin anlaşılması, ilk temellerinin incelenmesiyle pekiştirilebilir. Bu nedenle çalışmada, öncelikle Rus devlet yönetim sisteminin ilk ortaya çıkış sürecine yönelik genel bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Bu süreçte Kiev Rus devleti öncesinde Slavların diğer etnik unsurla olan ilişkilerine kısaca değinilmiştir. Daha sonra Kiev Rus devleti hakkında kısa bir derleme yapılmıştır. Müteakiben, Kiev Rus devletindeki örgütsel yapıya yönelik kısa bir çerçeve çizilmiştir. Ardından Rus idare tarihinde ilk yönetim örgütlenme biçimi olan veçeler ele alınmıştır. Veçelerin; örgütsel yapıdaki yeri, konumu ve hangi ihtiyaçlardan ortaya çıktığı ve işlevleri sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmadaki veriler, ağırlıklı olarak Rus dilindeki kitap ve makale gibi ikincil kaynaklardan toplanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler, nitel bir karaktere sahiptir. Bu araştırmada, veçe örgütlenmesi ele alınmış ve konu hakkında toplanan veriler, analiz edilmiştir. İdare tarihi araştırmaları kapsamında Rus devletinin temellerinin incelenmesine yönelik kaynakların az olması, çalışmada sınırlılığa sebep olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, Kiev Rus devletinde veçelerin hem siyasi ve idari hem de toplumsal sorunların çözümünde önemli rol oynadığı ve günümüzde merkezi/yerel yönetimlerin ve Rus parlamentosunun ilk deneyimleri olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın Rus idare tarihi çalışmalarına ve ülke idare tarihi incelemelerine örnek teşkil etmesi bakımından yapılacak diğer akademik çalışmalara katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
Role of videothoracoscopy in pulmonary hydatid cyst surgery
Authors: Ghebouli Khalil
Published: December 2024

Hydatid cyst of the lung is a benign but serious pathology by its complications, often
occurring in young and active population. Only surgical treatment remains effective.
Video-thoracoscopy reduces the rate of dilapidated thoracotomies, by allowing a
complete therapeutic act carried out at a minimum. We report a study of 21 cases
operated for pulmonary hydatid cyst by video-thoracoscopy. In 33.3% of cases,
bronchial fistulas were detected; these were four large fistulas and three small fistulas.
Conversion to thoracotomy was performed in two cases. Postoperative results were
simple in 80.95% of cases. They were encouraging, especially for young and small
cysts.
Socio-demographic and biological aspects of blood donors in Barika
Authors: BOUDJEMAA Walid
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Blood transfusion is a medical act aimed at correcting a deficiency. The
aim of this study is to describe socio-demographic characteristics and motivations of
blood donors at Barika public hospital, and to analyze their immuno-hematological
and microbiological data. Materials and methods. This was a descriptive crosssectional study conducted at the blood transfusion station at the EPH of Barika over
a 12-month period, from January 1 to December 31, 2022, using a questionnaire
intended for blood donors of both sexes. Biological analysis results were collected
from the immunohematological and serological qualification register of blood
donations. Results. A total of 1186 donors were collected, of whom 1143 were males
(96.37%) and 43 females (03.63%), giving a sex ratio of M/F=26.58. Mean age was 35,
with extremes of 18 and 65. Most donors were between 28 and 37 years of age.
Compensatory donors accounted for 43.07% of cases, and over half of volunteer
donors (56.91%) were regular donors. Family reasons (38.02%) were the strongest
motivators for blood donation, followed by religion (28.83%) and solidarity (24.87%).
Donors with type O Rhesus-positive blood were in the majority (40.89%).
Seroprevalence rate for transfusion-transmissible infectious agents was 0.51%: three
cases of syphilis, two cases of hepatitis B virus and one case of hepatitis C virus.
Regular, ongoing serological monitoring is essential to ensure transfusion safety.
Conclusion. The blood donor profile at EPH Barika is of the compensation and new
donor type. Regular epidemiological surveillance is essential to ensure proper
hemovigilance.
Diagnosis of multifocal motor neuropathies. Study on a hospital series.
Authors: KEDIHA Mohamed Islam
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Multifocal motor neuropathies (MMN) are rare, dysfunctional
conditions. They can have a serious impact on functional prognosis. Clinically, the
disorder is motor, asymmetric, chronic and most often begins in the upper limbs.
EMG remains the fundamental paraclinical examination allowing their diagnosis,
showing demyelinating damage and conduction blocks (DCB). The aim of this work
is to update clinical and para-clinical criteria necessary for the diagnosis, while
passing on the electrical aspects allowing the identification of DCBs as well as their
electro-physiological criteria (loss of amplitude, reduction of surface, notion of
temporal dispersion). In terms of therapy, new routes of immunoglobulin (Ig)
administration are being validated. We present the results of a retrospective study
focusing on the clinical, biological, electro physiological and evolutionary
characteristics of these patients. Methods. A hospital based retrospective clinical
study. We detail EMG data (distal latencies, VCM, BDC and terminal latency index)
as well as the clinical evolution under treatment. Results. 14 patients were included
in this study. The onset was mainly asymmetric and in the upper limbs. BDCs of
median nerve and axonal involvement was found in one out of two cases. Anti-GM1
antibodies were prevalent in our cohort and most patients responded positively to
Igs. Conclusion. This is a rare but severely disabling condition. Our study confirms
the importance of early treatment in order to delay the onset of functional disability
Screening for type 2 diabetes in South east of Mascara – Algeria
Authors: Boudali Benyahia
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The southeast region of Mascara carried out 153 screening tests for
diabetes on subjects aged 18 and over, in two daïras. Material and methods. A crosssectional descriptive study on the prevalence of diabetes, through a screening
campaign in the general population. The screening was organized in the two
polyclinics of the two daïras, for 3 days from November 14, 2022. An eligible case is
defined as a person residing in the study region, and who is not known to be diabetic.
Detected by performing occasional capillary blood glucose, and confirmed with a
HBA1C dosage on samples with GCC ≥ 2g/l. Results. Out of 153 screened individuals
(73 men and 80 women), 17 patients were tested for a GCC ≥ 2g/l, i.e. a prevalence
of 11.1% [95% confidence interval: 6.15 -16.05 ]. This prevalence has a sex ratio of
1.43. The most represented is the 40 - 60-year-old age group. Risk factors for diabetes
include a personal history of high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and non-daily
consumption of fruits and vegetables. Conclusion. These results encourage us to
strengthen and intensify health education of the population, with particular emphasis
on subjects at risk and giving priority to targeted screening.
Prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in the general population of the city of Tighennif - Algeria
Authors: Boudali Benyahia
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Viral hepatitis C is a real public health problem. Early detection of this
condition can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with cirrhosis and
hepatocellular carcinoma. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C in
the city of Tighennif by screening the general population. Material and methods. A
cross-sectional descriptive study on the prevalence of viral hepatitis C in the town of
Tighennif, province of Mascara, through a screening campaign in the general
population. The screening was organized for 3 days starting from July 19, 2022.
Screened by performing a rapid diagnostic directional test (TROD) on the tape.
Results. Out of 189 individuals screened, 3 patients were tested positive for rapid
hepatitis C virus, representing a prevalence of 1.59% [95% confidence interval: 0.001
-3.37]. HCV PCR results were detectable in all three patients. Conclusion. Our
anonymous and free viral hepatitis screening campaign objectively estimated the
prevalence of HCV infection in the town of Tighennif at 1.59%, which places our district
in a low prevalence area.
Phimosis-paraphimosis, is it necessary to operate in emergency?
Authors: Benslimane Hammou
Published: December 2024

The normal foreskin is generally non-retractable due to physiological adhesion
between the glans and the inner surface of the foreskin. Phimosis can be primary without signs of scarring, or secondary (pathological) to scarring as balanitis xerotica obliterans. The diagnosis of phimosis and paraphimosis is made by physical examination. If the foreskin is not retractable, or only partially retractable, and forms a constrictive ring surrounding the glans penis, circumcision practiced for religious purposes or for prophylactic purposes remains the treatment of choice for balanitis and the white lichen.
