The contribution of the distinguished scientist and teacher, world renowned orthopedic surgeon, father of the national orthopedics and founder of the first orthopedic clinic in Russia – professor Henry Ivanovich Turner in the evolvement of the spinal disorders science is analyzed in this article. Of all fields of orthopedic science Henry Turner paid special attention to the spinal disorders. His main research directions included the study of scoliosis, inflammatory spinal diseases, spinal trauma and anomalies, Bechterew’s disease. Henry Turner identified congenital and secondary causes of spinal disorders. In his works on conservative treatment of scoliotic spine deformities he emphasized the importance of physical exercise and spinal corsets treatment. Profound knowledge of the spine biomechanics and clinical manifestations of the disease let him to define the requirements for scoliosis treatment corsets. Pioneer in science, Henry Turner was one of the first in Russia to recognize the significance and prospects of the surgical treatment of severe spine deformities. He disapproved ineffective «short» fusion and fusion on the maximum spine curvature surgery, as well as isolated muscle surgery. In his articles on management of spondylitis of various etiology Henry Ivanovich outlined the clinical picture of the disease, proved the necessity of hard spine immobilization and suggested glue-lignin corset affordable for the most patients. Contribution of Henry Turner in the research of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis can hardly be overestimated. He described in detail clinical and pathoanatomical signs of the disease, and defined the «telescopic body» symptom and radiographic signs of «sparrow tail» and «gendarme hat» which became classic.

Modern stereotactic neurosurgery is a science that uses a high-tech technique of precise impact on deep structures and deeply located pathological formations of the brain. Depending on the disease, the impact on these structures and the pathological focus can be variable. Functional neurosurgery uses stereotactic technique for diathermodystruction and implantation of electrodes for chronic stimulation of cerebral nuclei in Parkinson’s disease, certain forms of muscular dystonia, postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia, and a number of pain syndromes. In neurooncology, the stereotactic technique has found application as a minimally invasive technique for taking biopsies to determine further treatment tactics and for installing radioactive intrastates in brachytherapy of brain tumors. Non-functional stereotaxy (neuronavigation) is used in surgery for operations on tubular bones, with injuries to the spine, throat, ear, nose, penetrating wounds, which can significantly reduce intraoperative radiation exposure, intraoperative injuries, blood loss, surgical intervention time and thereby reduce the time of rehabilitation of victims and financial costs. The results of its use demonstrate superiority over traditional methods. Applications for intraoperative navigation with visual control have expanded in spine surgery – arthrodesis, revision procedures, deformities with distorted anatomy, as well as use in intradural tumors, intracerebral hematomas. In addition, these technologies can, with minimal invasive surgery, mitigate most of the radiation exposure to the patient, surgeon, and operating room support staff.

O Brasil destaca-se em relação aos outros países por possuir um arcabouço legal avançado em relação à efetivação dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência. Um dos marcos legais é a Constituição Federal de 1988, que tem definido no seu artigo 205 que a educação é direito de todos. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo elaborar uma análise comparativa entre a Meta 4 do Plano Nacional de Educação, suas estratégias, com o Plano Municipal de Educação do Município de Nova Friburgo e como este vem se organizando para cumprir o que a legislação recomenda. Como recurso metodológico, foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, em bancos de dados públicos, contextualizando o município, analisamos os documentos de monitoramento do plano municipal em questão. A pesquisa concluiu que as estratégias do Plano Municipal de Educação de Nova Friburgo, em relação à garantia dos direitos e melhoria da Educação Especial, se aproximam muito do que está proposto no Plano Nacional para essa mesma modalidade, e que foram construídas de forma democrática e participativa, com a representação de diversos segmentos da sociedade. Porém, é necessário que o Plano avance em relação às condições de acesso e permanência do público ao qual se destina. É importante que o monitoramento dessas ações continue acontecendo, apesar do contexto pandêmico e dos entraves socioeconômicos, com o intuito de ajustar e rever o que foi planejado em relação às estratégias, colocando-as em prática, a fim de que o município obtenha êxito ao final da vigência do seu plano

Published: May 2024

Apesar do aumento do ingresso de alunos negros nas escolas públicas, ainda ocorre resistência por parte de professores na abordagem da história silenciada da escravidão. A persistência de currículos estruturados com um viés eurocêntrico faz com que alguns temas ligados a essa história apareçam somente em eventos como a Semana da Consciência Negra. Alunos da educação básica por vezes sofrem bullying por causa da cor da pele e do cabelo afro. Partindo desta questão, o estudo apresentado neste artigo teve o objetivo de verificar se trabalhos realizados em cursos de mestrados profissionais se constituem como Produtos Educacionais relevantes para uso em sala de aula a fim de melhorar a atuação e o pensamento crítico dos sujeitos em relação à estética do negro e traços negroides. O estudo é exploratório com enfoque qualitativo e se caracteriza como estado do conhecimento. Tendo como base o Portal eduCAPES foram selecionados trabalhos que abordam o corpo negro, incluindo-se cabelos, pele, traços característicos etc. Ao enfatizar a questão estética do negro, procurou-se compreender se os traços negroides estão tendo a devida atenção dos professores da educação básica para que possam contribuir com a autoestima dos alunos. Constatou-se que há poucos trabalhos e número baixo de Produtos Educacionais que representam inovações sobre práticas antirracistas. Ao concluir o artigo, são trazidas reflexões sobre inovações em práticas antirracistas acerca do corpo negro.

Confirmation of the Kazakh Khan Nuraly in 1748—1749
Authors: Lapin Nikolay
Published: May 2024

The article considers the problems of transformation of imperial policy in the field of symbolic integration of dependent Kazakh rulers into the common political space through the concept of acculturation. During the 18th century, based on the real, extremely limited opportunities to actually keep the Kazakhs in dependence, the Russian border authorities made attempts to exert their influence on the process of election and legitimization of Kazakh khans. The main attention in the article is paid to the institution of khan's power, efforts of Russian administration to change the form and order of election and approval of Kazakh khans by Russian monarchs. An important innovation is the introduction and gradual adoption of a new imperial practice — the confirmation of Kazakh khans by Russian monarchs. A precedent is the confirmation of Khan Nuraly in 1749. Taking into account the generally undeveloped issues related to the very procedure of election and confirmation, it was important to show on the basis of archival and published documents the ritual itself and specific practices. The whole process of confirmation, as the sources show, was carefully designed by the frontier administrators, who attached great importance to it. Although confirmation of Kazakh khans by Russian monarchs was not immediately introduced, as the presence of the Russian Empire in the region increased, the tradition of confirmation was increasingly practiced until the liquidation of the khan's authority in the first decades of the 19th century.

Sources for the Study of Occupation Policy Regarding the Child Population in the Occupied Territories of the RSFSR (1941—1944)
Authors: Kulakov Ivan
Published: May 2024

The Great Patriotic War is a broad and multifaceted topic. One of the interesting vectors for studying this period is life in the USSR occupied by Nazi Germany and its allies. Behind the term “civilian population”, even in Soviet historiography, the concept of old people, women and children was formed. However, the issue of children, as the future generation subjected to the occupation of the USSR, is extremely important to consider from a special angle, since it is through the prism of the attitude of the Nazi leadership towards Soviet children, first of all, that Germany’s real intentions can be determined in relation to the future of the peoples of the USSR. This article examines sources stored in archives on the territory of the Russian Federation, collections of documents published in the USSR and the Russian Federation, as well as Internet projects developed in the Russian Federation dedicated to the digitization and placement of thematic materials.
The Problem of Legal Acculturation of the Kazakh People's Court of the Early 20th Century in the Assessment of the Orenburg Lawyer and Public Figure L. A. Slovohotov
Authors: Lyubichankovskiy Sergey
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the contribution of a prominent public and judicial figure of Orenburg Leonid Alexandrovich Slovohotov to the social and scientific discussion about the possibilities of using traditional institutions of justice in the all-imperial system of government and court, which unfolded in the late 19th — early 20th century. The views of L. A. Slovohotov concerning the people's court of the Kazakh people are analyzed. The absentee dispute between L. A. Slovohotov, on the one hand, and N. Dingilstedt, N. Maximov, I. I. Kraft and A. I. Dobrosmyslov, on the other hand, is shown. It is concluded that, according to L. A. Slovohotov, not the eradication of traditional forms of justice and legal consciousness was the main way of further integration of the Kazakh society into the all-Russian socio-cultural field, but the need for legal acculturation of the Kazakh people's court of the early 20th century through its inclusion in the all-imperial system of justice.

Market forces affect the market structure in an industry. The formation of the market structure affects a company’s behavior which further affects the performance of the company. The data used in this study is sourced from the Central Statistics Agency. The study measures the relationship of structure and other factors that affect the performance of the Indonesian coffee industry using a multiple regression model. Our findings show that the coffee processing industry in Indonesia has an oligopoly structure with a fairly high market barrier. The market behavior of the coffee processing industry is seen in terms of price strategy, products, and promotion. The performance of the coffee processing industry in Indonesia has an increasing trend every year. A positive trend results in good performance for the company so that it will increase the level of profit. Based on the regression results, the Minimum Cost Price which represents the performance of the Indonesian coffee processing industry is significantly influenced by the Efficiency Value. CR4 value and Labor Productivity have no real effect on the Minimum Price Cost. The pattern of the relationship between Efficiency and Labor Productivity to the Minimum Price Cost has a positive effect while CR4 has a negative effect.

Authors: Prayogo Rafael Anggoro , Ariadi Gede
Published: May 2024

Practicing pilot service in a game is popular. One of them is EL’s Merchant Pilot Service. This study was conducted to find the significant impact of service quality that influenced purchase decisions with customer satisfaction and hedonistic view as mediating variables using Smart PLS 3.0 software. The sample of respondents was 150, and they were asked to grade all the indicators using a five-point Likert scale. The results showed that service quality had a significant impact on purchase decisions. The hedonistic view also mediates well between service quality and purchase decision, as well as the serial mediation of the hedonistic view and customer satisfaction that mediates service quality and purchase decision. However, customer satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between service quality and purchase decisions. Theoretically, this study cooperates the collaboration among the service quality, hedonic view, and customer satisfaction to discover what may create the purchase decision in an online game pilot service sector. It enforces that the hedonic view and customer satisfaction are serially positioned as mediation variables between service quality and purchase decision.

Authors:   Chest Physician (SMC) and Unit head IV Group of T.B. Hospitals, Sewri, Mumbai 15, Nanavare Dr Rajendra Tatu
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global infectious disease, causing approximately 10.6 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths in 2021, with 450,000 patients annually having rifampicin-resistant (RR)/multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB. Despite higher pulmonary TB notifications in males, TB in females remains a significant threat, reflecting potential barriers to healthcare access. Background: This study addresses the challenging landscape of Rifampicin-resistant extrapulmonary TB in adolescent females, aiming to unravel recurrence patterns and treatment complexities. It serves as a call to action, advocating for tailored interventions to mitigate the impact of drug-resistant TB in this vulnerable population. Overview: Adolescence poses unique challenges for individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis, especially for females who exhibit higher susceptibility, facing stigma and potential impacts on self-esteem. The presentation of drug-resistant tuberculosis in adolescents differs from early childhood, necessitating differentiated care; however, there's a notable lack of recognition and specific guidelines for this age group in national TB programs. W.H.O. outlines plan with a comprehensive five-year strategy, detailing ten crucial steps to improve tuberculosis prevention, treatment, and care for children and adolescents. Additionally, the Roadmap targets a 90% coverage in diagnosis and treatment services and aims to provide TB preventive treatment to 90% of those at high risk between 2023 and 2027. Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis, comprising MDR and XDR types, requires microbiological confirmation through genotypic or phenotypic tests. Treatment in adolescents aligns with adult regimens, including novel drugs like Delanamid and Bedaquiline, with consideration for exposure history and drug susceptibility.

Abstract Background: The global incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) is on the rise, with an estimated 152 million men currently affected. Cardiovascular risk factors are strongly linked to the occurrence of ED, particularly in men with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In countries like Nigeria, where it is not typically viewed as life-threatening, ED often receives less attention. Consequently, there is limited data on selfreported ED among patients seeking cardiovascular care in cardiac clinics. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence of self-reported ED among adult patients with CVD visiting a cardiac center. Materials and Method: A retrospective hospital-based study of self-reported ED patients carried out in a cardiac center among males (31-82 years) in Port Harcourt, Southern Nigeria, over a one-year period (October 2022 to January 2024). Participants’ demographic data and medical history were retrieved and analyzed. Results: The study had a total of 23 male subjects. Majority of the participants were between 50-69 years old (47.8%), 65.2% took alcohol and 21.7% smokes cigarette. 82.6% had a history of hypertension and (73.9%) were on antihypertensive, (34.8%) had diabetes mellitus, (17.4%) were on antidiabetic while (60.9%) were on other forms of medication. Overweight and obesity account for 34.8% and 52.2% of the subjects respectively. Beta-blocker (23.5%) was the frequently used medication and angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors was the least accounting for (5.9%). Conclusions: The increasing incidence of ED among patients with CVD risk factors and an aging population suggest that patients should be screened. ED may become a significant public health problem and closer attention needs to be paid to control these patients to reduce further complications.

Özet
Toplumun kültürü ve gelenekleri nesilden nesile aktarılmaktadır. Farklı alanlarda gerçekleşen bu aktarım sanatta da var olmaktadır. Türk resim sanatında geleneksel ve yerel söylemler; farklı dönemlerde Türk ressamların eserleri aracılığıyla aktarılmıştır. Milli kültürümüzden derin izler taşıyan eserler batılı akademik anlayışın yerel tema ile bileşiminden oluşmaktadır. Türk resim sanatında ilk olarak 1940’lı yıllarda yerel etkiler görülmektedir. Folklorik içeriği, halk bilimsel öğelerle vurgulayan Turgut Zaim Türk resim sanatı içerisinde “d Grubu” ressamları arasında yer almıştır. Orta Anadolu coğrafyasını, Anadolu insanının yaşamını eserlerine konu edinen Zaim; eserlerini minyatürü anımsatan gerçekçi bir anlayışla oluşturmuştur. Zaim’in eserlerinde yer alan figürlerde özellikle kadın ve çocuk figürleri ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Anadolu coğrafyasında etkin bir biçimde yer alan kadın figürleri bir yandan çocukları ile ilgilenirken, bir yandan da gündelik işlerle meşgul olurlar. Araştırmada alan taraması yapılarak, betimsel tarama yönteminden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı, Orta Anadolu yörüklerinin, yaşamından kesitlerin yer aldığı Zaim eserlerinin folklorik öğelerle ilişkisini yerellik ve geleneksellik bağlamında incelemektir.
GÜNÜMÜZ SERGİLEME PRATİKLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Kayahan Zeliha
Published: May 2024

İlk defa bir sanat eserinin sergilenmesi/halka arzı üzerinden yüzyıllar geçti. Bu geçen süre içerisinde sanatın anlamına dair değişimler, onun biçim ve teknik bakımından da değişmesinin bir sonucudur. Geçmişten günümüze sergileme pratikleri sanatın geçirdiği değişimler ve dönüşümler doğrultusunda farklılaşmış ve giderek dikkat çekici olmasının yanı sıra yenilikçi çözümlere de olanak tanımıştır. Bu araştırma, geçmiş yıllardan günümüze uzanan iki boyutlu sanat eserlerinin sergileme pratikleri üzerine yapılan değerlendirmeler ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, sanat tarihinin sergileme mantığı açısından en klasik uygulamaya sahip olduğu düşünülen iki boyutlu eserlerin günümüz sanat anlayışı içerisinde bilindik sergileme kalıplarının dışına çıkma süreci incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, geçmişteki sergilemelerin çoğunlukla sanat eserini göstermeye yönelik bir amaç taşırken günümüz sergileme dilinin sanat eserine anlamsal katkı sağlayabilmesinin yanı sıra izleyicinin eserle daha bütünleşik bir ilişki içerisine sokmayı amaçlayan bir anlayışı benimsediğini görmekteyiz. Bu doğrultuda küratöryal uygulamalar kapsamında sergilemelerin çağın koşulları doğrultusunda geliştiğini ve eserin etkili algılanması yönünde sergileme biçimlerinin önemli bir konumda olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.
Abusive Koaches:* “There Ought to be a Law!....Oh, Wait! There is!”
Authors: Stewart Craig
Published: May 2024

The abusive koach has become an all-too-familiar issue at every level of sport. While sexual and physical abuses have justifiably received most of the notoriety, psychological abuse (PA) and emotional abuse (EA) by koaches are more common and often ignored, minimized, or excused ‘as part of the game.’ The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of abusive koaches by reviewing the importance of the player/coach relationship, providing legal and practical definitions of PA and EA, presenting the causes of abusive koaches, and demonstrat-ing the legal and ethical duties of the administrators who oversee them. The author concludes with practical recommendations for the actions needed to reduce the occurrence of PA or EA and eliminate those who are guilty of either.

The purpose of this study was to explore youth with disabilities’ perspectives of their experiences in integrated physical education classes in the United States. Participants were three youth with visual impairments and three youth with orthopedic impairments (ages 10-17 years). Data sources were written prompts, audio-recorded, semi-structured virtual interviews, and reflective notes. Based on a six-step thematic analysis method, four themes were developed: (a) “I couldn’t do most things:” lack of accommodations; (b) “They had absolutely no clue:” the teacher’s role; (c) “I’m a scared boy:” concerns about injuries and unsafe activities; and (d) “I get to hang out with my friends:” interpersonal relationships and feelings of inclusion. Participants recalled feeling a sense of belonging, acceptance, and value when experiencing positive interpersonal relationships. In contrast, a lack of accommodations, safety measures, and a perceived lack of teacher preparation made these feelings uncommon.
Audiences between production and reception: Problems of a theory of recognition
Authors: Verón Eliséo
Published: May 2024

Today, there is a crisis within the media universe that concerns precisely the articulation between supply and demand: the concepts and tools for measuring reception, audiences, and the public are in crisis within the practice of producers. At the very moment when media research was beginning to show interest in reception, the media field was entering a zone of strong turbulence. There is also likely a link between these two processes, one within the media field and the other within the scholarly field. To address the problem of reception, I consider it essential to delve into the links between these two histories: the history of media and the history of media research.
Modes of production, circulation, and academic recognition of an ‘archive of repression’: the case of the DIPPBA archive in Argentina
Authors: Colman Alex
Published: May 2024

he article compares the modes of production and primary circulation of materials of the DIPPBA archive – an Argentine ‘archive of repression’ – before and after its public opening in 2003, specifically in academic research on Recent History. The DIPPBA was an intelligence service that operated between 1956 and 1998. Through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates semiotics, discourse analysis, and anthropology, the paper studies the transition of the DIPPBA archive from its origins as an intelligence service repository to its current status as a publicly accessible archive managed by the Provincial Commission for Memory. This transition prompted significant political, legal, functional, spatial, and symbolic transformations involving various management practices. The article examines the interaction between archival circulation and academic recognition by delineating these transformations and identifying regularities in academic historical discourse. Specifically, it investigates how alterations in circulation mechanisms shape the academic recognition of archival materials, influencing researchers’ access and utilization. Additionally, it explores how academic recognition reciprocally informs and influences archival circulation, providing historical, political, and legal intelligibility to the process of archival opening. The findings shed light on the dynamic relationship between archival circulation and discursive recognition within the historiographical field.
From villainess to Eco-icon: the blossoming Poison Ivy
Authors: Richetto Alessandra
Published: May 2024

Nowadays, the entertainment industry produces countless works, many exploring well-known stories or characters from different perspectives and through different media. In order to sell, superhero comics must be able to adapt to their audience. Through recurring narrative events, in which characters are rearranged by different authors, different relevant traits are gradually selected, afferent to varying codes of reading reality, which change as the semiotic field of reference changes. Thus, the ways of coding and decoding the same character at the diachronic and synchronic levels are different. This paper aims to analyse the case of Poison Ivy in terms of the differences between encoding and decoding. Created in 1966 as a femme fatale associated with venomous plants, the enemy of Batman, and a deadly poisonous seductress, it turns out that she is perceived differently today. Poison Ivy, alias Pamela Lillian Isley, is seen by today's writers and readers as a bearer of very different values and, above all, as a bearer of strong ecological messages of hope and activism on behalf of Planet Earth. Therefore, the referential reading models and the shifts in the semiotic field that could explain how the character's perception has changed will be studied.
