Published: December 2022

Existe escasa literatura sobre las asimetrías en el pádel, un deporte de naturaleza asimétrica. Para estudiar el desarrollo de asimetrías en este deporte se evaluó, con bioimpedancia, la masa magra de ambos miembros superiores de 96 jugadores de pádel jóvenes y de 76 esquiadores (grupo control) y se calculó el índice de simetría. Los jugadores de pádel tuvieron una asimetría entre ambos miembros superiores mayor que los esquiadores, cuando se consideró toda la muestra (7.2 ± 5 % vs. 1.4 ± 3.2 %; p < 0.001), en jugadores con un estado de madurez negativo (5,7 ± 3,2 % vs. 1,5 ± 3,8 %; p < 0,001) y en aquellos con un estado de madurez positivo (8,3 ± 5,8 % vs. 1,3 ± 2,4 %; p < 0,001). Este estudio revela que el pádel genera asimetrías de masa magra en los miembros superiores, incluso antes de la edad de crecimiento pico.

The article proposes and substantiates an original approach to the design of a monitoring information system of the state and dynamics of development of generating facilities of regional energy systems, which include an ever-growing number of power plants based on renewable energy sources. The development of a new system for describing these power plants by expanding the list of indicators of their functioning is a distinctive feature of the proposed approach. In contrast to the description of the indicators of the facilities of electricity producers of the centralized power system, their detailing at the level of regional power systems regarding the types of energy resources used for power generation, as well as the characteristics of their connection to (high-voltage or distribution) power transmission networks, was added. The main purpose of the information system proposed for development has been defined - it is the formation of an information resource that is updated for solving the assignments of modeling pricing processes in the electric energy market and developing regulatory mechanisms for stimulating the development of renewable energy at the level of regional energy systems of the United Energy System of Ukraine.

Bacground: T2 hyperintense foci (white matter hyperintensities) are seen in the white matter of the brain on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in smokers. The aim of the study is to reveal the relationship, number and size of these white matter hyperintensities with smoking in Azerbaijani smoking men and to compare them with the control group. Materials and Methods: Total of 120 patients between 37 and 70 years were included in this study. The mean age was 50,2±0,8. Eighty(80) of the patients were smokers and 40 of them was healthy individuals. In our study we exam the location(according to the brain lobes), size and frequency of T2 hyperintense foci on MRI. We used 1.5-Tesla Magnetom Aera MRI equipment and images obtained with T2 turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) sequences. MRI images were obtained using TR-9200, TI 2450, TE 84 and 3.5 mm slice thickness, and 10% interslice gap. Results: The mean age of the smokers was 50,7±1,0 (37-70) years. The mean age of the healthy individuals was 49±1,1(39-62) (Pu=0,556). WMH was not found in 21(52,5%) patient from 40 healthy individuals. The average number of WMH detected in 47.5%(19) of patients was 3.2±0,8 (min0-max20) and the average size was 1.9±0,1 mm (min1.5-max 2.5). According to the measurements and numbers performed on 80 smokers included in the study, the average number of WMHs was 8.8±1,5(min0-max70) and the average size was 2.3±1,0 mm(min1.5-max6). At the same time, WMHs were not observed in 28 (35,0%) smokers. It was found that the number of WMH in smokers was higher than in control group-healthy individuals(Pu=0,025). But the size of WMH in smokers was not differ so much than in healthy individuals(Pu=0,459). Conclusion: An increase in the number of white matter hyperintensities in the brain was found in smoking men in Azerbaijan compared to the healthy individuals. There was no significant difference in the statistically correct correlation (in the number and size of the WMH) between those who had smoked for longer years-50 years and those who had smoked the least-15 years. The number of WMH increases with age, regardless of whether the patient smokes or not.

Evolution of approaches to the treatment of acute coronary syndromes: from Eisenhower's heart attack to modern approaches to treatment
Authors:   Kharkiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Korzh O.M.
Published: December 2022

US President Dwight Eisenhower suffered an acute myocardial infarction in 1955. But in Eisenhower’s case, the beginning was unusual. Furthermore, ECGs were not widely available, cardiac enzymes were not used as diagnostic tests, and echocardiography or coronary angiography were not available to emergency physicians or cardiologists. In the half century since Eisenhower’s heart attack, pioneering physicians have discovered and developed coronary arteriography, coronary bypass surgery, balloon coronary angioplasty, and coronary stents, discoveries that have greatly improved the outlook for patients with coronary heart disease. It revolutionized the treatment of coronary heart disease half a century after Eisenhower’s heart attack. Former President Bill Clinton is one of the millions who have benefited from these discoveries.

Osteoarthritis is a serious interdisciplinary problem that is relevant for a number of clinical specialties: therapists, rheumatologists, orthopedists, professional pathologists. Modern research on this problem indicates the pronounced heterogeneity of osteoarthritis, associated with a variety of clinical forms and risk factors of the disease. Occupation can be a significant additional risk factor that contributes to the accelerated development of the disease, including after termination of contact with a harmful industrial factor. Comprehensive analysis of risk factors for the development and progression of osteoarthritis, including professional activity, is important from the point of view of prevention and treatment of the disease.
El déficit de formulación de la política pública de la infraestructura vial nacional de 1998
Authors: Vasquez Rodriguez Jorge Alberto
Published: December 2022

La reorientación de la política pública de la infraestructura vial nacional de 1998 incorporó aspectos claves del Nuevo Estilo Nacional de Desarrollo vigente en el país en el momento de su oficialización. Este estilo desde principios de los años 80 promulga el protagonismo del mercado, en deterioro del papel del Estado, de ahí, que concordante con el mismo se trasladó la construcción, conservación y mantenimiento de la Red Vial Nacional del Estado al empresario privado, mediante contrataciones administrativas a cargo de un ente público denominado el Consejo Nacional de Vialidad, en donde en su consejo de administración, máximo jerarca de esa institución, estarían incorporados tres miembros de los empresarios organizados del mercado de la construcción de carreteras, con voz y voto, que coadministrarían la institución, con otros tres miembros representantes del gobierno de turno y uno de los gobiernos locales, con recursos provenientes de un Fondo Vial Nacional.

La formulación de la política presenta un déficit de formulación, generada principalmente por la reformulación del problema público y de la estrategia de intervención de la política pública, generada desde “lo político” en la Asamblea Legislativa en el primer cuatrimestre de 1998, de ahí, que no se le brindó una posible respuesta a algunas de las causas del problema público como la relocalización de servicios, las expropiaciones, la coordinación con entes públicos que determinan el avance de la obra vial, la protección del medio ambiente, el control y calidad de las carreteras, el control excesivo sobre las obras viales, ejercidos directamente o indirectamente por entes públicos controladores, generándose así un déficit de formulación en la política pública, que incide negativamente en los resultados de la misma
KETAHANAN RUMAH TANGGA PELAKU HOMOSEKSUAL DAN LESBIAN
Authors: Ridhaizzati Rafika , Shalihin Nurus
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore why homosexual and lesbian households can survive as couples' households in general. The research method in this study is a qualitative research with a case study approach. The data in this study were collected using in-depth interview techniques. The data sources in this study are primary data sources taken from homosexual and lesbian families. This study found that there are two factors that cause homosexual and lesbian families to survive. First, the presence of children in a homosexual family becomes a mediation that can reduce both partners, even though the husband or wife already knows that homosexuality and lesbianism are deviant acts. Second, economic dependence, such as doubts about the establishment of life, is also a factor in the survival of homosexual and lesbian households. This study concludes that although homosexuals and lesbians are deviant behaviors, there are conditions and factors that cause homo and lesbi families to persist.
Diachronic Pavilion. Variations of the «Pabellón de la República Española»
Authors: Grau Urtzi
Published: December 2022

The reconstruction of the Pabellón de la República Española completed in 1992 by Juan Miguel Hernández León, and Miquel Espinet and Antoni Ubach in Barcelona includes omissions and additions that were not part of the pavilion built in 1937 by Luis Lacasa and Josep Lluís Sert. This article look does not look at these differences as unconscious mistakes or absentminded omissions. Instead, it reads them as material evidence of the historiographical arguments around the origins of Spanish modern architecture that emerged during the country’s transition to democracy. This approach allows abandoning discussions over the faithfulness of the reproduction, to analyse the relationship between the pavilions in terms of trajectory (Latour, 2010) or inframince (Banz, 2019) opening up the discussion of the cultural relevance of architectural copies.
Plaster Casts, Augmented. Architecture in the Museum and the Impact of Digital Media
Authors: Torello Francesca
Published: December 2022

Among museum plaster casts, those of architecture have a peculiar status. They are not complete replicas of originals, as is the case for statuary, but copies of pieces, fragments or portions of buildings —one historical response to the problem of exhibiting architecture in a museum gallery. The complex relationship of plaster casts of architecture with their originals is at the origin of the Augmented Reality experience Plaster ReCast. Through the lens of this digital media project, the essay examines how digital reproduction techniques are changing our relationship with many tenets of modern culture: the concept of authenticity, the role of museums in our society and also the way we look at the objects contained in them.
Cinco copias imposibles
Authors: Martínez-Santa-María Luis
Published: December 2022

Este artículo desarrolla, mediante cinco casos de estudio, la improbabilidad de la copia en el arte de la pintura. Los cinco casos de estudio considerados tienen que ver con: el acento, la voz, el proceso, la verdad y el error. Considerada desde el acento, es decir desde la desviación que cada autor puede imponer a una obra, la copia literal no existe. Considerada la pintura como poesía no sonora, resultaría difícil encontrar la misma voz en el original que en la copia. Considerada desde el proceso, la obra es un acto inacabado y el concepto finalista de copia carece de sentido. Considerada desde la verdad, la verdad es inagotable e insondable, no tiene ni deudas ni dueño, no hay copias. Considerada, por último, desde el error, la copia y el original forman parte de un mismo experimento, un bello experimento. Estas mismas apreciaciones pueden trasladarse a la arquitectura.
The Alphabet of Architecture. Originality and Literacy in the Theory of Profiles
Authors: Delbeke Maarten
Published: December 2022

In 1691 Augustin-Charles D’Aviler published his Cours d’architecture qui comprend les ordres de Vignole. Ostensibly one of the many extended editions of Vignola’s Regola delli cinque ordini d’architettura (1562) that would appear over the course of the 16th and 17th century, D’Aviler’s Cours is in fact an expansive and not always systematic compendium on design and construction, covering subjects ranging from the design of locks to the layout of the princely residence. Still, the Cours opens with a short biography of Vignola and is dedicated for its first part to the five orders discussed by the Italian architect. But before D’Aviler dives into the proportions of the Tuscan order, the first and lowest of the five, he treats an altogether different subject: mouldings. Over three sections D’Aviler develops a small design theory of the subject: “des moulures, et de la manière de les bien profiler”, “des ornemens des moulures” and “du choix des profiles”.

A closer look at these sections will show how D’Aviler deals with concerns and anxieties related to the two foundational creative acts of classicism: imitation and invention. The moulding is an architectural element that allows D’Aviler to explore the tension between these two creative acts, thanks to its intricate composition and its capacity to articulate the surface of a building. He does so in the pages of a printed treatise. This medium frames the matters of imitation and invention in terms of literacy and replication. D’Aviler constructs in words and image a vocabulary that allows for the reproduction of the principles he proposes. Thanks to the medium of the treatise, these principles can be taught and reproduced, an effect most apparent in the considerable afterlife of his theory of mouldings.

Published: December 2022

The joint Laplace transform of the two sided boundary crossing stopping rule is known for the negative exponential model only under certain conditions. In this paper we eliminate the need for such conditions. Our results also apply to the boundary crossing problem for the geometric models. We further illustrate how the results can be used to obtain the distribution for the multidimensional boundary crossing stopping rules under the memoryless models.

RESUMO Introdução: avaliar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de acidentes de trânsito no contexto da pandemia da doença do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19), analisar os atendimentos entre os níveis de restrição implementados (bandeiras) e comparar os dados com o período pré-pandêmico. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostragem probabilística, realizado em um hospital de trauma no sul do Brasil utilizando prontuários de pacientes vítimas de acidente de trânsito entre junho de 2020 a maio de 2021. Além das variáveis epidemiológicas, coletou-se a bandeira vigente, o mecanismo de trauma, as lesões resultantes e o Revised Trauma Score (RTS). Os dados foram comparados entre as três bandeiras e a proporção de atendimentos do período pandêmico foi comparada com a do período pré-pandêmico (dezembro de 2016 a fevereiro de 2018). Resultados: observou-se que 62,2% dos pacientes foram vítimas de acidentes com motocicletas, 77,5% da amostra era do sexo masculino e que a média etária foi de 33 ± 12,4 anos. A média e mediana do RTS foram 7,5 e 7,8, respectivamente. Houve diferença significativa ao comparar o número de atendimentos ao dia entre as bandeiras amarela e vermelha (p=0,001) e laranja e vermelha (p=0,016). Constatou-se um número significativamente menor de atendimentos por acidentes de trânsito no período pandêmico quando comparado com o período pré-pandêmico. Conclusões: o perfil epidemiológico do estudo foi composto em sua maioria por homens jovens vítimas de acidentes com motocicleta. Houve menor incidência de admissões na bandeira vermelha e menor proporção de atendimentos no período da pesquisa quando comparado ao pré-pandêmico.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the epidemiological profile of traffic accident victims in the setting of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and analyze the admissions throughout the different levels of restriction (flags), as well as compare the results with the pre-pandemic period. Methods: a cross-sectional study was performed, with probability sampling, in a trauma center in Brazil. Medical records of patients involved in traffic accidents from June 2020 to May 2021 were evaluated. Aside from epidemiological characteristics, variables such as the current flag, the trauma mechanism, the resulting injuries, and the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) were also considered. Data were compared between three different flag periods and the proportion of consultations during the pandemic was compared with that from pre-pandemic time (December 2016 to February 2018). Results: it was observed that 62.2% of the patients were victims of motorcycle accidents, 77.5% were male, and the mean age was 33 ± 12.4 years. The mean and median RTS were 7.5 and 7.8, respectively. Statistical difference was stated when comparing the number of visits per day between the yellow and red flags (p=0.001) and orange and red flags (p=0.016). A significantly lower number of consultations for traffic accidents was observed in the pandemic when compared to the pre-pandemic period. Conclusions: the epidemiological profile of the study consisted mostly of young men who were victims of motorcycle accidents. There was a lower incidence of admissions during red flag periods and a lower proportion of consultations throughout the survey when compared to the pre-pandemic period.

ABSTRACT Between Make-Believe and Make-Belief: children and their performances in recreational play installations – Based on Early Childhood Social Studies and Performanc e Studies, this article aims to analyze the ways children in Early Childhood Education, aged 3 to 5 years, produce performances during play in recreational play installations, as the result of research with children. The methodol ogy is based on the Mosaic Approach and on the proposition of recreational play installations. Through the analyses, two units were defined: a) make-believe performances; b) make-belief performances. Thus, it was possible to make inferences about the free movement of children between make-believe and make-belief performances through their body modulations, gestures and voices.
Symbolic violence in undergraduate LGBT students’ experiences
Authors: Moretti-Pires Rodrigo Otávio , Vieira Marcelo , Finkler Mirelle
Published: December 2022

Abstract Since childhood, symbolic violence has been a process experienced by LGBT people facing the sanctions of hegemonic heteronormativity. University is a space of possibility and change for many people, with a particular expectation: of greater openness to moral plurality and, thus, diversity. This article investigates experiences of symbolic violence, and the contours of the habitus lived by LGBT university students, by using unstructured interviews with 16 students, analyzed from the theoretical framework of Bourdieu. Symbolic violence was present in all their lives, showing itself in different environments and institutions, including the university academic life, but mostly on their family and school life. Facing impositions of the heterosexual habitus, individuals develop resources, with the acquisition of social capital, such as LGBT militancy, standing out. However, the university needs to concretize specific actions to face violence and respect diversity, considering its role as an institution socially responsible for the education of citizens on top of professionals. This is a challenge already present in the definition of the ethical-political university agenda, that becomes even more complex in times of struggle for the very maintenance of the democratic system in the Brazilian State.

Important distributions used to model and analyse data in various real-life sciences such as natural sciences, engineering, and medicine are the Weibull, Weibull exponential, and Weibull Rayleigh distribution. The main objective of this paper is to determine the best evaluators and compare them for the distribution with three-parameters of Weibull, Weibull Rayleigh and Exponential Weibull. The methods under consideration for comparing the parameter estimators for these distributions is that of maximum likelihood using the statistical program R for the application of real data. Based on the results obtained from this study, the maximum likelihood approach used in estimating the parameters is the comparison between these distributions.
Practicing Change, Changing Practice: Gallery Educators’ Professional Learning in Times of Reckoning and Upheaval
Authors: Keenlyside Emily
Published: December 2022

Art museums are increasingly responding to calls for exhibitions, community engagement, and institutional changes that confront and unsettle taken-for-granted knowledge, structures, and ways of working. Grounded in such a dynamic and evolving field, this qualitative study asked the following: What does gallery educators’ own learning look like -- and what motivates it? How does ongoing competency building inform critical dialogue with visitors and support wider efforts to reshape the field through an ethos of social justice? Drawing on tenets of critical pragmatism, transformative adult learning, and constructivist grounded theory, my thesis comprised three manuscripts based on findings from two series of interviews with gallery educators in Canada and Scotland. This article highlights my findings, contextualizing my analyses on the shifting ground shaping gallery education in both countries. In doing so, it contributes to both a relative paucity of scholarly research on critical professional learning in art museums and an emerging body of literature addressing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the working lives of gallery educators and the futures that lie ahead.

Background. Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men. Tailored treatment approaches to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on identification of specific biomarkers have been introduced only recently. So far, the Food and Drug Administration has approved two drugs (olaparib and rucaparib) targeting the DNA repair genes.

Aim. To assess the frequency of mutations in the DNA repair genes in the Russian population.

Materials and methods. The article uses data from two centers (National Medical Research Radiological Center and A.I. Kryzhanovsky Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary) which included the largest numbers of patients in the largest Russian multicenter prospective trial ADAM. We performed genotyping of all valid tumor samples from 113 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer to identify clinically significant mutations in the DNA repair genes.

Results. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated that 27 patients (23.9 %) had clinically significant mutations in DNA repair genes were, including ATM in 6 (5.3 %), BRCA1 in 5 (4.4 %), BRCA2 in 4 (3.5 %), CDK12 in 3 (2.6 %), CHEK2 in 2 (1.8 %), PALB2 in 2 (1.8 %), BRIP1 in 2 (1.8 %), BARD1 in 1 (0.9 %), RAD51B in 1 (0.9 %), and RAD51C in 1 patient (0.9 %).

Conclusion. Identification of mutations in the DNA repair genes should become a routine procedure, since a new treatment approach to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is now being introduced.
MATHEMATICAL DETERMINATION OF ROCK JOINTS MORPHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Authors: Zadhesh Jamal , Majdi Abbas
Published: December 2022

Determining the geometric or morphology and mechanical properties of joints and geomechanics of intact rock is a vitally important issue in predicting the behaviour of structures built inside or on rock masses. The joint morphology is significant because it affects the strength of the rock mass and controls the stability of the structures related to the rock masses. Until recently, joint morphology was introduced in a simple form which brought about models that are far from the inherent state of a rock joint. The work presented in this research introduces a new model to represent rock joint morphology which is very close to reality. For this research, Sarchawa marble mine joint systems are studied. According to this research, the morphology of each rock joint can be expressed as a mathematical equation. Using the output of this research, we can see a more realistic view of the rock masses. As a result, we can have better designs for structures correlated to rock masses, making the result better and more reliable.

Published: December 2022

Background. Understanding the complexities of formation and structural features of the brachial plexus remains important for diagnosis, effective surgical treatment and regional anesthesia.
Aim. To identify variants of the brachial plexus structure and develop a system for their coding.
Material and methods. Macroscopic anatomical layer-by-layer and macro-microscopic intratubular dissection of 121 brachial plexus preparations were performed in 105 cadavers of men and women aged 40100 years. A database was formed from the obtained indicators in the MS Excel 2012 program, and their processing was carried out using Statistica for Windows 12. All indicators were tested for the normal distribution using the ShapiroWilco criterion. When describing the studied indicators, the median (Me) and interquartile intervals [Q1, Q3] were determined, as well as the significance of intergroup differences according to the MannWhitney test.
Results. It was established that the farther from the spinal cord, the more variants of the macroscopic and macro-microscopic structure of the brachial plexus elements exist: roots 3, trunks 7, divisions 3, bundles 1216, and a total of 20 variants of the general structure were identified. The roots of spinal nerves C6 (66.1%), C7 (66.4%) and C8 (64.2%) take the greatest part in the formation of brachial plexus bundles, 2 times less often C5 (34.8%) and Th1 (33.3%), very rarely C4 (2.5%) and Th2 (0.8%). Reverse coding of variants of the brachial plexus structure in the direction: bundle division trunk (root) allows to briefly and clearly display the entire morphological diversity of the nervous system of the human upper limb. The results obtained should be taken into account when diagnosing injuries, performing regional anesthesia, reconstructive operations, rehabilitation measures, creating neurosimulators, neurochips, and nerve conductors.
Conclusion. 20 different variants of the general structure of the human brachial plexus have been identified and a reverse coding system has been developed.

The development of cicatricial blockade in the area of surgical intervention is considered one of the reasons for the decrease in the hypotensive effect of surgical treatment of glaucoma, for which antiglaucoma drainages are widely used.
Aim. To evaluate the hypotensive efficacy of sinustrabeculectomy with implantation of drainage from collagen hemostatic sponge using Maklakov tonometry and quality of life indicators in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma in the course of surgical treatment.
Material and methods. The study involved 52 people (52 eyes) (mean age 64.14.4 years) with a diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma. The inclusion criteria were the age of 4080 years, the diagnosis of glaucoma for more than 6 months, the ineffectiveness of local drug therapy, and the absence of severe concomitant ophthalmic pathology. All patients underwent surgical treatment of glaucoma: sinustrabeculectomy with posterior scleral trepanation and implantation of drains in the form of 42.5 mm strips from a collagen hemostatic sponge under the scleral flap in three zones: in the distal and lateral zones of the flap. In the postoperative period, the level of intraocular pressure was assessed on the 30th, 90th and 180th days. The patients' quality of life was assessed using the GQL-15 questionnaire. Statistical processing of materials was carried out using the Statistica 8.0 software package (Statsoft, Inc., USA), comparison in dynamics was carried out using Student's parametric t-test. The normality of the sample distribution was controlled using the ShapiroWilk test. Significance of differences in indicators was considered established at a significance level of p 0.05.
Results. The surgical treatment of patients contributed to a decrease in intraocular pressure from 42.46.5 to 13.44.9 mm Hg (p=0.0000) and improved quality of life according to the GQL-15 questionnaire from 28.64.3 to 19.31.9 points (p=0.0224) on day 30 after surgery. During the observation period, the level of intraocular pressure remained within the normal range, amounting to 16.94.3 mm Hg on the 90th day, and 18.14.6 mm Hg on the 180th day.
Conclusion. The modified method for the treatment of glaucoma leads to a long-term (6 months) effective reduction in intraocular pressure in patients and an improvement in their quality of life.

There are numerous keys to successful modern cataract surgery, but to produce truly happy postoperative patients, the results of the surgery must also meet the patient’s expectations. In order to properly set expectations, patients must be educated about cataracts themselves, lens implant options, the experience of having cataract surgery and what to expect afterwards. This article reviews the various patient education tools in use today.

La captación de conversaciones orales en el proceso penal fue objeto de un importante pronunciamiento en la STC 145/2014, que declaró la vulneración del derecho fundamental al secreto de las comunicaciones y la nulidad de la prueba así obtenida por ausencia de regulación de la medida. La posterior intervención normativa es examinada en la STC 99/2021, de 10 de mayo, que comentamos en este trabajo. Dos son los principales problemas que se abordan en la sentencia y que analizamos. Por un lado, el encuadramiento de la grabación de conversaciones en el objeto del derecho fundamental a la intimidad o al secreto de las comunicaciones. Por otro, la interpretación constitucionalmente conforme de la actual regulación de la duración temporal de la medida autorizada por el juzgado de instrucción.

This paper is studied the respiratory function as a result of the impact of air pollution in the environment of the sector of exploitation of heavy minerals such Pb, Zn, Au, Ag, Bi, Cd, PM in the mines of Trepça, Kosovo. Lung function parameters are determined by Body plethysmography. Airway resistance (Raw) was recorded and Intra-Thoracic Gas Volume (ITGV) was measured and specific resistance (SRaw) and airway specific conductance (SGaw) were calculated. The research was done in two groups, the control group and the experimental one. The control group consisted of 24 healthy people, while the experimental one is made up of 52 mining workers for the exploitation of minerals in the Trepçamine, Kosovo. The results obtained from this research indicate that the mean value of specific resistance (SRaw) is significantly higher in the experimental group (p<0.01), compared to the control group (p>0.1). Also, in this study it was confirmed that smoking favors the negative effects of air contamination in the mineral exploitation sector, the changes are significant (p<0.01). Respiratory system parameters of the control group and the experimental group were measured before and after bronchoprovocation with histamine-aerosol (1 mg/ml). The differences between these two groups after provocation were statistically significant (p<0.01). Respiratory changes from air pollution with noxae in mines where metals are mined, it takes a long time for changes in respiratory function to appear. Therefore, exposure of workers to these conditions poses a risk to their health, causing bronchial reactivity, bronchial asthma or, obstructive pulmonary syndrome.

Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a flavonoid with a vast number of pharmacological properties because of its antioxidant potential. Chronic stress is one of the predominant etiological factors which evoke molecular alterations in the brain leading to the development of depressive disorder. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Chrysin on Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS) induced alterations in behavior, noradrenergic as well as serotonergic function, and inflammation in brain. Randomly, mice were divided into four groups of six animals in each group. On 28th day after assessing behavioral parameters, brain biochemical markers were assessed. From the results, it is concluded that the chrysin protects the brain cells from CUMS induced molecular changes by attenuation of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Background:  The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of substance use disorder in Iranian children and adolescents and its relationship with demographic characteristics and psychiatric comorbidities.
Methods: The data were taken from a national survey on the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Iranian children and adolescents. The national survey was conducted on 30,532 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years which were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The psychiatric disorders were assessed by employing k-SADS-PL questionnaire and interviews carried out by 240 clinical psychologists with the participants and their parents. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test and logistic regression.
Results: A total of 277 (0.97%) were diagnosed as people with substance use disorder that were further studied for comorbid disorders. Among the various types of drugs, hypnotic/sedative/anti-anxiety drugs were abused by 84 people (46.15%), cannabis by 68 (37.36%) and stimulants by 43 (23.63%). The variables of gender, place of residence, and father’s occupation and parents’ education level were identified as predictors of substance use disorder in children and adolescents. At the same time, 42.50% substances and alcohol abusing people had at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder and the highest comorbidity was observed in oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and separation anxiety disorder (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: The findings can be used in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder and promotion of mental health in children and adolescents by focusing on the psychiatric comorbidities of people with substance use disorder.
