Published: January 2025

современные специалисты гуманитарного профиля выполняют широкий круг работ и этот круг все боле и более расширяется. Это связано с необходимостью подготовки подрастающего поколения, и в данном направлении работают воспитатели в детских садах, учителя в школах и профессорско-преподавательский состав учебных заведений различного уровня. Перечислять все виды деятельности, которые осуществляют специалисты гуманитарного профиля было достаточно затруднительно, так как их достаточно широкий круг. Однако от качества подготовки специалистов гуманитарного профиля зависит качество обучения, перевода различных документов и много других работ, влияющих на эффективность функционирования государства и предприятия и соответственно были и остаются актуальными. Проблематику составляет состояние физической подготовленности и низкий интерес к физической культуре и недостаточная двигательная активность, что провоцирует недостаточный уровень физической подготовленности. В процессе исследования решались следующие задачи: ¾ анализ специфики трудовой деятельности специалистов гуманитарного профиля; ¾ анализ возможности использования спортивных игр в качестве средства подготовки к предстоящей трудовой деятельности. Полученные результаты исследований могут быть использованы при организации профессионально-прикладной подготовки в учебных заведениях различного уровня.

modern specialists in the humanities perform a wide range of work and this circle is expanding more and more. This is due to the need to train the younger generation, and kindergarten teachers, school teachers and teaching staff of educational institutions of various levels are working in this direction. It was quite difficult to list all the types of activities carried out by specialists in the humanitarian field, since their range is quite wide. However, the quality of training for humanitarian specialists depends on the quality of education, translation of various documents and many other works that affect the effectiveness of the functioning of the state and the enterprise and accordingly have been and remain relevant. The problem is the state of physical fitness and low interest in physical education and insufficient motor activity, which provokes an insufficient level of physical fitness. In the course of the research, the following tasks were solved: ¾ analysis of the specifics of the work of humanitarian specialists; ¾ аnalysis of the possibility of using sports games as a means of preparation for the upcoming work. The obtained research results can be used in the organization of professional and applied training in educational institutions of various levels.

Healthcare Workers’ Hepatitis B Virus Preventive Practices at a Mission Hospital in Kenya
Authors: Ogada Fred , Halestrap Peter , Walekhwa Michael
Published: January 2025

Hepatitis B (HBV) infection constitutes a major public health concern worldwide. In its chronicity, the infection causes potentially fatal advanced liver diseases. In Kenya, the prevalence of HBV infection has been on an upward trajectory despite the availability of an effective vaccine. However, the literature demonstrates a dearth of information regarding healthcare workers’ (HCWs’) practices towards the infection. This study assessed HCWs’ preventive practices toward HBV infection at Kijabe Hospital. A cross-sectional descriptive survey involving 254 frontline HCWs at Kijabe Hospital was conducted. Ethical approval from the Kabarak University Research & Ethics Committee (KUREC- 090323), Kijabe Hospital Ethical Review Committee (KH/ISERC/02718/0054/2023), and a research license from the National Commission for Science, Technology & Innovation (NACOSTI/P/23/24856) were obtained. Before data collection, informed consent was obtained from each participant. Data was collected using validated self-administered questionnaires and analyzed on STATA v18. The chi-square test was used to determine the association between categorical variables. More females (65.4%) than males participated in the study. Most (80.3%) were aged between 25 and 35 years with half of the participants being married. Most respondents held diplomas (44.5%). Nurses formed the majority (45.7%) of the respondents. No significant association was shown between HCWs’ sex (P =.594), age (P=.686), education level (P=.492), service department (P=.538), experience years (P=.555), and practices. Most (60.24%) HCWs demonstrated a lack of absolute adherence to the available safety practices. For instance, about 60% completed 3 doses of the HBV vaccine, 14% never changed gloves between patients, 52% had had a past needlestick injury and about 63% recapped needles after use. These findings underscore suboptimal infection control practices among the sampled HCWs. Therefore, regular training and sensitization on preventive practices towards HBV cannot be overemphasized. We further recommend a targeted intervention anchored on qualitative study findings.
Factors Influencing Adherence to HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis among Healthcare Workers at AIC Kijabe Hospital
Authors: Odhiambo Boaz , Asaava Patrick , Halestrap Peter
Published: January 2025

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of HIV infection due to occupational exposure, making adherence to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) crucial in preventing HIV transmission. This study explored the barriers and benefits to PEP adherence among HCWs at AIC-Kijabe Hospital and identified mechanisms to improve adherence. It was a phenomenological qualitative research design that used semi-structured interviews to collect data from a purposive sample of 35 HCWs. The study was conducted in AIC-Kijabe Hospital. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with HCWs who reported exposure to HIV and were initiated on PEP. Key informant interviews were also conducted, those of whom were Chronic Care Clinic (CCC) team members. The guide was pilot-tested at AIC-Kijabe Naivasha Medical Centre to enhance its reliability and validity. The interviews were audio-recorded, with the consent of the participants. Deductive thematic analysis was employed to analyze the interview data. The transcribed interview was coded and categorized into themes and sub-themes. NVivo data analysis software was used to facilitate the organization and analysis process. Several barriers to PEP adherence were identified and they were based on Personal/ Individual drug-related, organizational, and interpersonal factors. Personal factors included forgetfulness, acceptance of stigma, and low-risk perception. Drug/Medicine-related were fear of side effects, and logistical challenges e.g. pill too big to swallow. Organizational/institutional factors included process inefficiencies and institutional stigma, as well as interpersonal factors like lack of social support. The perceived benefits noted by the participants included a reduction of the risk of HIV transmission to HCWs, their spouses, and patients. It also gave them peace of mind. Adherence to PEP was also viewed as an ethical duty and obligation. The findings underscore the importance of addressing multi-level barriers to PEP adherence among HCWs. Interventions should include educational programs to reduce stigma and improve risk perception, organizational reforms to streamline PEP access, and provision of psychological and social support for HCWs.

Image studies as taste studies?
Authors: Kaćunko Slavko
Published: January 2025

The paper discusses some rather well-known, but rarely discussed origins of
the current “immanentism” and “invitationalism” of the images by rooting
them in the discussion that is itself rooted in the very matter of aesthetics – the
matters of taste. The introductory remarks justify briefly the chosen historiographical
approach, supported by few first-hand insights into the “momentum”
of visual studies one decade ago. In the second chapter, a short paper
appeared only in German in 2008, “W.J.T. Mitchell und der iconic turn” von
Norbert Schneider (1945-2019) is recapitulated, in which the impression of
the implied harmony between “like-minded” scholars – W.J.T. Mitchell and
G. Boehm – has been deconstructed in a comparative analysis. Further on,
Schneider´s arguments are followed up in the third chapter, where Boehm´s
Ph.D.-supervisor Max Imdahl and doctorate-supervisor Gadamer (as well as
their predecessors Fiedler, Croce and Vico) are discussed in some depth, with
reference to what we have baptized as image-immanentism and the hermeneutic of pictures. In the fourth chapter, we criticize a more recent follower
of Gadamer´s position, whose aim was to support Gadamer´s theory of aesthetic
value as artistic value with the projected value of the “artistic image”.
Paul Crowther´s important point was to substantiate the claim of the artwork
being a “symbolically significant artifact” and hence the extraordinary character
of our experience of art and its value. Although Gadamer’s understanding
of representation as an ontological event brings with it a metaphysical,
Neoplatonist implication, Crowther turned this implication of point to an
ontological-existential one. The presented case in point is supposed to provide
an argument for deep historiographic connections between the current
immanentism of images and their roots in the continental thinking traditions.
Die Macht der Filmischen Imagination bei Albrecht Dürer
Authors: Ramljak Purgar Mirela
Published: January 2025

The article explores the fundamental qualities of imagination in the works
of Albrecht Dürer, with a focus on a specific sheet from his cycle of illustrations
in the biblical Apocalypse series – the woodcut titled The Strong Angel.
Our analysis builds on the insights of media historian Jörg Jochen Berns,
who identified the presence of a “film before the film” in the Middle Ages
and the Renaissance. This concept refers to an “inner film” that responds to
external stimuli – from the “outer film” – allowing the observers to immerse
themselves in holy images, particularly during prayer, through the stimulation
of their imagination.
In the context of the biblical Apocalypse, the Strong Angel is a metaphor for
vision; at the same time, it requires considerable imaginative power from the
artist (Dürer) to depict such a scene. An angel appears to St John, giving him
a book of visions that St John must “devour” to keep them hidden. For our
research, which involves interpreting this work through the medium of film,it was essential to highlight a key discovery in this illustration: the montage
process that interconnects the elements of The Strong Angel. This connection
is crucial for interpreting the Angel as a messenger from heaven, linking the
divine to the earthly, the sacred to the profane, and the corporeal (human
head) to the material (pillars).
We examined the imaginative potential in Dürer’s work through the perspective
of image theorist Ludwig Schwarte and interpreted Dürer’s art as imagination-
stimulated and produced by intuition, in which the observer actively
participates in the scene. Assuming that the inner film existed in the Middle
Ages and the Renaissance as a prayerful and visionary imagination manifest
in the given examples, we juxtaposed it with the measurement of sensory
stimuli, and thus with the physiognomic discovery of the early 19th century
as interpreted by Jonathan Crary.

Introduction: The non-communicating rudimentary horn is a rare uterine malformation, and pregnancy in this horn is exceptional. Diagnosing pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is challenging, particularly in asymptomatic patients; it is often discovered in the second trimester, usually at the stage of uterine rupture with hemoperitoneum.Clinical Case: We report the case of a 21-year-old nulliparous woman referred for management of a 24-week amenorrhea pregnancy that had stopped growing at 15 weeks on a bicornuate uterus. The patient presented no clinical symptoms, and biological examinations were normal. Pelvic ultrasound revealed a 12 cm gravid right uterine cavity with a 14-week fetus without cardiac activity. The left horn was deviated and empty. Communication between the two horns could not be confirmed. Hysteroscopy confirmed the presence of a single permeable cavity (the left) connected to the cervix; laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of pregnancy in a rudimentary horn with a high likelihood of placenta accreta spectrum and allowed for the resection of this horn. The postoperative course was unremarkable, and the anatomopathological examination confirmed the placenta accreta spectrum.

Abstract
Background: Despite a lack of sufficient knowledge about the prevalence and impact of hypophosphatemia in critically ill COVID-19 patients, organ dysfunction, adverse clinical outcomes, and increased mortality have been consistently associated with hypophosphatemia across diverse patient populations.
This retrospective, observational study aimed to investigate hypophosphatemia (HypoP) frequency and establish the correlation between variations in serum phosphorus levels and outcomes in critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: The research comprised 205 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 confirmed via RT-PCR. The study included COVID-19 patients who experienced respiratory failure and were in intensive care for more than 24 hours, and their phosphorus values were accurately documented. Clinical parameters, comorbidities, respiratory support requirements, and laboratory findings were analysed.
Results: The study participants had a median age of 64 (IQR: 54-75 years), with hypertension being the most prevalent chronic disease (46%). During the first three days of intensive care, 33% of the participants received conventional oxygen support, whereas 54% required intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV). During this period, hypophosphatemia was noted in 25% of patients, with an ICU admission median serum phosphorus level of 1.02 (0.87-1.25) mmol/L. The median duration of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was 7 days, significantly extended in patients with hypophosphatemia (p=0.046). Phosphorus levels on the third day of ICU stay were an independent predictor of ICU mortality. (COX, HR= 1.48, 95% CI= 1.11-1.98, p=0.006)
Conclusions: During the first three days of ICU admission, 25% of SARS-CoV-2 critically ill adult patients presented with hypophosphatemia. This condition was found to increase ICU mortality rates and prolong ICU stays. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor serum phosphorus levels in the care of critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Different silver-modified zinc oxides for photocatalytic degradation of imidacloprid
Authors: Papp Zsigmond
Published: January 2025

Synthesis, scanning electron microscopic / energy dispersive spectrometric characteriza­tion and photo­catalytic properties of two different silver-modified zinc oxides are de­scribed. Both cata­lyst types were synthesized from pure zinc oxide powder and an aqueous solution of silver nit­rate in the presence of solar light. The first type was prepared by the photoreduction of silver ions on the zinc oxide surface in the absence of target molecules (imidacloprid), the second one was prepared in their presence – in situ. The photocatalytic properties of the obtained catalysts were compared with those of the pure zinc oxide. The catalyst obtained in situ in the presence of imidacloprid showed the highest activity.

Background: Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to global health. It is particularly important to note that large-scale infectious diseases are often associated with epidemics that result in massive population declines as well as serious economic and social problems. School plays a crucial role in the efforts to foster health-conscious communities, considering a large portion of the population is involved in education. School environments are thus ideal for planning and implementing measures to promote a healthy lifestyle and raise awareness about infectious diseases.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the perception of parents regarding infectious diseases and their impact on the health of primary school children.

Methods: The method of this study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey. The sample included (516) parents from primary schools in western, eastern, and central provinces of Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was developed by researchers and independently validated by an expert.

Results: Results showed that parents’ perception and knowledge of sore throats and tonsils was the highest.

Conclusion: It is crucial to address and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases among primary school children due to their pervasive nature. Infectious diseases and parental literacy have a significant impact on children’s health and academic performance. Infectious diseases affected the attendance rate of school age children. A better understanding of health and competence of parents may lead to better outcomes for children.

Introduction: Au cours de sa pratique, le pharmacien est confronté à des situations pouvant poser des problèmes éthiques. Il doit alors prendre des décisions en se basant sur des connaissances scientifiques ainsi que sur les principes de la bioéthique.
Objectif : Évaluer les attitudes des pharmaciens face à des dilemmes éthiques particuliers.
Méthodes : Nous avons réalisé notre étude à l'aide d'un questionnaire validé en anglais, comportant 9 situations éthiques à noter par les participants selon une échelle de Likert à 5 points. Le questionnaire a été distribué via Google Forms sur des pages Facebook et des groupes Messenger et WhatsApp. Les données ont été traitées avec Microsoft Excel et les tests statistiques ont été effectués avec SPSS version 23.
Résultats : Les participants de notre étude ont obtenu 70% du score total pour toutes les situations rencontrées. Nous avons constaté que face à la situation de non-malfaisance suivante : «Dispensation d'amphétamines à un étudiant en médecine», les pharmaciens avaient l’attitude la plus éthique en comparaison avec les autres situations étudiées. En général, les scénarios de confidentialité ont obtenu le plus grand nombre de réponses "pas d'accord", tandis que l’attitude la moins éthique concernait les scénarios de justice. Nous avons également trouvé une corrélation significative entre la formation complémentaire en éthique et les dimensions de la confidentialité et de la non-malfaisance.
Conclusion : Notre étude, première du genre en Tunisie, a mis en évidence la nécessité de renforcer les formations en éthique médicale chez les pharmaciens.

Published: January 2025

Dyslipidemia in infants is a rare condition characterized by abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Early diagnosis poses a challenge due to nonspecific symptoms and lipid criteria differing from adults. Through two clinical cases of familial dyslipidemia (Type 1 Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Type 2b Combined Familial Hyperlipidemia), we highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in infants, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in care and early screening. In the first case, a 3-month-old boy with a family history of dyslipidemia was diagnosed during bronchiolitis, revealing milky serum, pseudohyponatremia, and abnormal lipid profile. His Type 1 familial hyperlipidemia was confirmed by lipid electrophoresis. Despite dietary management and breastfeeding, he developed severe pancreatitis, successfully treated with intensive care. The second case involved a girl who presented at 3 months with vomiting and irritability. Laboratory tests indicated pseudohyponatremia, hematologic abnormalities, and lipid disturbances. Her Type 2b familial hyperlipidemia was confirmed by lipid electrophoresis. She responded well to a specialized diet, experiencing few pancreatitis episodes without meeting clinical or radiological severity criteria.

Objectif : Décrire les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques, étiologiques et thérapeutiques des hypercalcémies prises en charge dans le service de rhumatologie du CHU de Cocody.
Méthode : Étude transversale à visée descriptive menée au service de rhumatologie du CHU de Cocody de janvier 2013 à juillet 2022 et portant sur les dossiers des patients ayant une hypercalcémie.
Résultats : La fréquence hospitalière des hypercalcémies était de 0,88%, soit 60 cas sur 6771 hospitalisations pendant la période d’étude. L’effectif comprenait 35 hommes et 25 femmes (ratio H/F=1.4), âgés en moyenne de 56±11,52 ans (extrêmes de 25 et 80 ans). Le principal motif de consultation en rapport avec la maladie sous-jacente était le syndrome douloureux ostéoarticulaires. Les signes en rapport avec une hypercalcémie symptomatique étaient digestifs (23,33%), neurologiques (8,33%) et cardiovasculaires (5%). Les principaux signes extra-articulaires étaient l’asthénie (90%) et l’amaigrissement (78,33%). Au plan biologique, on notait un nette prédominance de l’hypercalcémie légère (76,67%), suivi par l’hypercalcémie modérée (10%) et l’hypercalcémie sévère (13,33%). Les étiologies étaient dominées par le myélome multiple (45%), suivi par les métastases osseuses (40 %), les granulomatose (13,33%) et l’hyperparathyroïdie secondaire (1,67%). Les molécules utilisées pour le traitement de l’hypercalcémie étaient les corticoïdes et les biophosphonates. L’évolution avait été favorable chez 18,33% des patients, et non précisée dans 66,67% des cas du fait du transfert du patient dans un autre service. On notait 9 décès soit 15% des cas.
Conclusion : L’hypercalcémie est rare et le plus souvent asymptomatique en hospitalisation rhumatologique ....( résumé tronqué à 250 mots).

Introduction-Aim: Validated triage tools such as the Vittel criteria are essential to improve the care of trauma patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Vittel triage criteria and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) to improve the accuracy of pre-hospital triage. 
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of all trauma patients transported by EMS over a two-year period (November 2021- November 2023). Vittel and (ISS) scores were calculated on admission. Predictive Vittel criteria were defined by independent risk factors for ISS>15 using a multiple logistic regression model with p-value < 0.05 and/or sensitivity (se) >50%, with positive Youden index (Yi).
Results: A total of 461 trauma patients were transported by EMS during the study period were included. The sex ratio was 5.3 and road traffic accidents accounted for 77.2%. An ISS>15 was found in 41% of participants, 25% required ICU admission and 23.9% died within 30 days. Using the above selection criteria, we identified seven key predictive criteria (OR CI 95%, se%, Yi) Glasgow coma scale<13(3.16 [1.91 5.24],44,0.25); fall>6 m(4.031[1.61-10.08],10,0.07); severe burn(23.89[10.21-55.93],6,0.02); Pelvic fracture (4.93 [1.19-20.32], 28, 0.25),suspected spinal cord injury(6.89 [2.79-16.96], 6, 0.05); Fluid resuscitation>1000 ml(-, 60.0. 11); Catecholamine (2.02 [1.09-3.75],51.0.27). Physiological variables (se 30%, Yi 0.16) and pre-hospital resuscitation(se 46%, Yi 0.18) were among the most relevant categories for predicting severity, similar to the full Vittel score. 
Conclusion: Seven criteria were associated with severe trauma (ISS score >15). Physiological variables and pre-hospital resuscitation were significant categories that ...(abstract truncated at 250 words).

Unspecific back pain (UBP) has long puzzled medical professionals. Historically, back pain (BP) was often attributed to mystical causes, treated with incantations or herbal concoctions. The Middle Ages shifted towards empirical practices, though still intertwined with superstition, using methods like leeches and bloodletting. The Renaissance introduced systematic healthcare approaches, laying the foundation for modern medicine. The 20th century saw significant advancements with diagnostic imaging, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and surgical interventions, though UBP remained elusive. Recent decades have seen a paradigm shift towards multidisciplinary approaches, addressing BP's multifactorial nature through holistic methods considering biomechanical, psychosocial, and lifestyle factors. This shift integrates quantitative research with hermeneutic interpretation, emphasizing evidence-based guidelines. Non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise therapy, electrotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction have gained prominence, empowering individuals in their recovery. Technological innovations like virtual reality and artificial intelligence offer personalized treatment plans, optimizing outcomes. The future of BP treatment holds promise with advancements in regenerative medicine, neuromodulation, telemedicine, and remote monitoring platforms, enhancing accessibility and continuity of care, especially in underserved communities. However, challenges such as the opioid epidemic and healthcare disparities remain, necessitating judicious prescribing practices and equitable resource distribution. The evolving treatment landscape for UBP reflects the dynamic interplay between scientific progress, clinical innovation, and societal needs, aiming to alleviate the burden of back pain and improve quality of life.
