Published: August 2024

Mucinous cystadenomas are one of the rarely found benign ovarian neoplasms seen in adolescents. They are commonly known for their massive size causing compressive effects ranging from pressure, pain, bloating, and urinary symptoms. As time passes by, these adnexal masses can lead to severe and fatal complications, such as ovarian torsion or haemorrhage. Accidental findings of these tumours are common as many of these patients are usually asymptomatic. Pelvic examinations and imaging studies can be used to further diagnose symptomatic patients and aid physicians in developing an appropriate course of treatment. A case of 18-year-old unmarried nulligravida presented with abdominal distension and mass per abdomen for the past 4 months, clinical examination revealed a mass of 32-34 weeks size, cystic in consistency, lower mass was not palpable, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of abdomen and pelvis showed a large abdominopelvic multiloculated thin-walled lesion of size 17×21×30 with thin walled septations with enhancing intensity likely arising from the right adnexa. Mucinous cystadenoma patient was operated, staging laparotomy was done showed a huge large right ovarian cyst 26×15×9 cm, with no abnormalities noted in the uterus, appendix and left ovary. The histopathology report showed as mucinous cystadenoma. The patient was surgically managed by exploratory laparotomy with right ovarian salpingoophorectomy was done, patient was discharged in stable condition and advised follow-up in gynaecology OPD. Incidence of mucinous cystadenoma is very rare in adolescents. Here we report a case of mucinous cystadenoma, detailing the clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathologic review, imaging findings and management.

Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is the most common esophageal diverticulum. Its prevalence is higher in older adults. It arises in the area called Killian's triangle, which is an area of weakness in the posterior wall of the upper esophagus, at the level of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). This area is delimited by the fibers of the thyropharyngeal muscle laterally and by the fibers of the cricopharyngeal muscle (CPM) in the inferior. Due to its composition, it is classified as a false diverticulum because it contains mucosal and submucosal layers in its walls. The predominant symptom in 90% of patients is dysphagia, followed by regurgitation of undigested food content. We present the case of the successful diagnostic approach with tomography and esophageal-gastro-duodenal and therapeutic series with diverticulectomy plus myotomy with the use of a stapler to a patient with usual symptoms of ZD, but with an unusual size: a giant ZD.
Multi-visceral resection in colonic cancer - “Boon or Bane?”: exploring the role and rationale through case reports
Authors: Shanmugam Subbiah , Thirunavukkarasu Suganthan
Published: August 2024

Colonic cancer invading into the adjacent organs or structures is detected in 5% to 20% of all surgical interventions performed for the management of colonic cancer. These adhesions may be either due to frank tumor infiltration or due to peritumoral inflammation. Nature of these adhesions cannot be ascertained intraoperatively. Standard management entails in block resection of the diseased organ along with adjacent organ infiltration. The release of macroscopically infiltrated tissue is not recommended due to the risk of perforation, tumor seeding and the possibility of leaving residual disease (R1, R2) with high recurrence rates. We share our experience with two case reports regarding the role of multi-visceral resection in clinically diagnosed locally advanced colonic cancers adherent to adjacent structures but pathologically down staged and proved to be inflammatory adhesions and desmoplastic reaction. In both patients even adjuvant therapy was not needed. Multi visceral resection in carcinoma colon has better prognosis and overall survival, if the histopathology reveals inflammatory adhesions or desmoplastic reaction rather than direct tumor infiltration into adjacent structures. So upfront surgery may be beneficial particularly in patients where the adjacent organ involvement is really not the involvement by tumor.

In the article, the author considers the forms of participation of the prosecutor in civil procedural legal relations, some aspects of his procedural status. In addition to analyzing the generally recognized forms of his participation in the civil process, the prospect of identifying a third form of his participation, which has been discussed at the doctrinal level for quite a long time, is also analyzed. The purpose of the study was a detailed assessment of the feasibility of allocating a third form of participation of the prosecutor in civil proceedings. The methodological basis of the research is presented by such research methods as analysis, synthesis, various ways of interpreting the norms of law, the method of legal modeling. The research was carried out by analyzing the norms of the current Russian legislation and scientific developments of domestic scientists. As a result, it is concluded that it is expedient not only to allocate a third independent form of participation of the prosecutor in civil proceedings, but also to expand his procedural rights as a subject of civil procedural legal relations.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Procedure of the Ural State Law University Named after V.F. Yakovlev, PhD (Law), Kudryavtseva Vera P.
Published: August 2024

The article reveals the problem of understanding the legislative requirement to comply with the pre-trial procedure before applying to the state court and its interpretation by judicial practice, which in practice can lead to abuse by the plaintiff. Different versions of the doctrinal, judicial interpretation of the category ‘dispute resolution procedure out of court’ are presented, the purpose of which is to encourage the parties to settle the dispute before going to court. The conclusion is made about the identity of the consequences of non-compliance with different manifestations of this order. The author criticizes the practice of repeatedly sending claims to the future defendant as not corresponding to the purpose of the institute of pre-trial dispute settlement procedure. Under this official interpretation, such behavior should not give the plaintiff the opportunity to indefinitely extend the limitation period, putting the debtor in a vulnerable position, which can be assessed as abuse. Repeated appeals do not pursue the goal of protecting the right. The author argues for the need to amend the act of interpretation of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the issue of extending the limitation period and its course in the case of repeated use by the plaintiff of the pre-trial dispute settlement procedure.

Review of Cases Arising out of Corporate Relations within Writ Proceedings
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Procedure of the Ural State Law University Named after V.F. Yakovlev, PhD (Law), Razdyakonov Evgeny S.
Published: August 2024

Raising the question of the possibility of considering claims of a corporate nature in writ proceedings, the author suggests separating cases from corporate legal relations and corporate disputes. The first concept is broader and includes, in addition to corporate disputes, a number of requirements of an indisputable nature. According to the corporate requirements of an indisputable nature, today it is possible to use writ proceedings in civil proceedings. In the arbitration process, corporate claims of an indisputable nature, by virtue of the provisions of the APC of the Russian Federation, must be considered in the order of claim proceedings, which, on the one hand, creates legal uncertainty, and on the other hand, creates prerequisites for changing the arbitration procedural legislation.
Looking for Cosy in All the Wrong Places. Cosiness and Tamed Sublime of "No Man’s Sky"
Authors: Gnat Tomasz
Published: August 2024

In this article, I argue that some games may elicit cosy sentiments even if they are centred on a premise not usually associated with cosiness – for example the infinity of the universe. They do so not by a fluke, and cosy spaces in these games do not only appear as designated spaces apart. Evoking a cosy feeling is done by specific game mechanics or design choices, “taming” the sublime premise of the game discussed. The architecture and mechanics of this unexpected cosiness may offer a new look at the fringe cases of cosy aesthetics, perhaps broadening the understanding of this phenomenon.
Analysis of Structural Homology and Evolutionary Relationships among Gamma- and Omega-gliadins in Different Wheat Species and Varieties
Authors: Tretyakova Anna Vadimovna , Derevshikova Ludmila Vladimirovna , Krylov Pavel Andreevich
Published: August 2024

Background: Gamma-and omega-gliadins are major components of gluten in wheat and can trigger allergic reactions and gluten intolerance. An increase in the number of motifs in their sequences correlates with a rise in toxic epitopes, leading to a stronger immune response. Evaluating the structural homology of gliadins across different wheat species and varieties can help identify toxic epitopes, which may be edited to neutralize their effects. This study aimed to evaluate the structural homology, evolutionary relationships and presence of toxic epitopes in various wheat species and varieties. Methods: Multiple sequence alignment using the ClustalW algorithm (BLOSUM62 matrix) in the Ugene program was used to identify structural differences between gamma- and omega-gliadins. The alignment results were evaluated based on percentage identity, scores and the presence of homologous regions. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the maximum likelihood method with the JJT+G+F model for gamma-gliadins and the LG+G+F model for omega-gliadins, using the MEGA11 software with bootstrap support. Result: Gamma-gliadins had a high degree of similarity across different wheat species and varieties, while omega-gliadins showed more variability and were less conserved. Toxic epitopes linked to celiac disease were most commonly found in gamma-gliadins of T. aestivum and T. dicoccoides Atlit2015, with fewer in T. monococcum clone 45-L024585. The unique amino acid composition of omega-gliadins was associated with diverse toxic epitope variations. T. aestivum Chinese Spring D2 and D3 contained more toxic epitope segments related to celiac disease, whereas no presumed toxic epitopes were detected in T. monococcum DV80. The obtained data can be used for genetic editing aiming to create wheat varieties that include allergen-neutral gliadins by reducing the repetitive motifs of celiac disease epitopes.

Authors: Hutchins Jonathan , Simblett Sara
Published: August 2024

Cognitive strategy approach eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a new approach to adapting the standard eight-phase EMDR protocol to the needs of clients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is a single case study of a 23-year-old female with severe TBI following a road traffic accident with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). On neuropsychological assessment, she scored below the average range across subtests of immediate and delayed memory, language, attention, and visuospatial perception, and on clinical observation, she had significant difficulties with executive functioning including emotional lability and poor planning and problem solving, suggesting significant cognitive impairment. Cognitive strategy approach EMDR was used as a key intervention to reprocess the trauma memory within one 40-minute session. She was assessed, pre- and postintervention as well as at 3-month follow-up, on measures of depression and anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and PTSD (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale and Impact of Events Scale-Revised), which all showed a significant immediate reduction on reliable change indices for symptoms of PTSD and anxiety that either improved or was maintained at 3-month follow-up. This case study represents a first in terms of the evidence base for the benefits of cognitive strategy approach EMDR to treat emotional difficulties, including PTSD, experienced by a person with marked cognitive deficits as a result of a severe TBI.

Authors: Harrison-Pavlik Ashley , Cashel Mary Louise , Kroner Daryl
Published: August 2024

This study evaluated the prevalence rates and risk factors for cyberbullying victimization and perpetration among 7th–12th grade students (n= 3,396) enrolled in 22 public school districts across Southern Illinois. Risk factors included victimization by traditional bullying, gender identity, cell phone use, and social media usage. We also examined perceptions of school climate and safety. We observed that traditional bullying victimization, gender identity, and social media usage predicted cyberbullying victimization. Similarly, perceptions of school climate and safety were significantly and positively correlated with cyberbullying victimization. In turn, perceptions of school climate and safety predicted cyberbullying perpetration. Rurality was a factor uniquely related to perpetration. Specifically, students from non-rural schools reported higher levels of cyberbullying perpetration than did students from rural schools. Our results underscore the need for intervention and prevention programs to focus on all forms of bullying and parental monitoring of social media accounts.

Awareness and Political Participation of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang Students Regarding Money Politics in General Elections
Authors: Minako Muchlis
Published: August 2024

Students represent a significant segment of new voters in General Election contests. As newcomers to the electorate, students must develop a thorough understanding of political awareness and participation in elections. This study aims to examine students' comprehension of political awareness and their engagement with money politics, as well as the impact of such practices on elections. Utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods, data were collected through surveys and in-depth interviews with 30 students. The findings reveal diverse levels of political awareness, shaped by factors including education, information access, social environment, and political experience. While most students demonstrate a solid understanding of money politics and express negative attitudes towards it, some encounter moral dilemmas. Economic background, education, and political experience significantly affect their views on money politics. This practice also influences their political participation by diminishing trust in the political system and reducing their motivation to engage. These results underscore the necessity of enhancing political awareness and addressing money politics among students to fortify democratic processes.

Gender is a crucial topic to explore especially in education context because it will affect the students’ understanding in a real life or around their society. It can not be denied if in textbook includes material which contains gender bias. Gender issues in the previous studies still depict gender stereotypes and biases, but some studies depict the positive images of gender. The present study examines through visual and verbal artifacts on ELT textbooks used in vocational high school and looks from gender roles. Using Fairclough’s (1995) model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method. The reveal showed that gender roles on the materials still depict gender biases however some gender discourse represent positive images. From this research suggests that the textbooks author must pay attention for developing materials in the textbooks.

A fenntartható fejlődés megteremtése a jelenkor egyik meghatározó kérdésévé vált. Az elkövetkező években a kis- és közepes vállalati szektornak (kkv-k) is szembesülnie kell azzal a ténnyel, hogy a fenntarthatósági problémákra való reagálásuk meghatározó lehet versenyképességük, hosszú távú működésük szempontjából. A vállalati fenntarthatósági stratégia kritikus része az érintettek megértése és igényeik transzformálása. Kérdőíves kutatásunk során feltártuk, hogy azonosítható-e kapcsolat a kkv-k által a 6 vizsgált érintett felől érkező fenntarthatósági nyomás között, illetve elemeztük, hogy az érzékelt fenntarthatósági nyomásirányok jelenléte alapján meghatározhatók-e változócsoportok. Tekintve az optimális skálázás és többdimenziós skálázás eredményeit, az érintettek különböző mértékben és módon gyakorolnak nyomást a kkv-kra, mégis csoportosíthatók ez alapján. A cégvezetőknek stratégiai prioritásokat kell kijelölniük a jogi szabályozás által nyomást gyakorlók, a társadalmi értékeket előtérbe helyezők és a versenykörnyezetet, pénzügyi döntéseket figyelembe vevők között. Eredményeink alapot szolgáltatnak ahhoz, hogy a magyar kkv-k meghatározzák, mely érintettek által kifejtett nyomások a leginkább hatékonyak és relevánsak számukra.

Introduction: Reducing the incidence of child marriage is a component of the national medium-term plan (RPJMN) for 2020-2024, which is targeted to fall to 8.74% in 2024, and 6.94% in 2030. The prevalence of child marriage in Central Sulawesi is 31.91% and Sigi Regency has the third highest prevalence of child marriage, namely aged 10-14 years (0.04%) and aged 15-19 years (2.58%). Aims: To evaluate the impact of providing health education via comic media on adolescent knowledge regarding the age of marriage at SMA Negeri 1 Sigi. Method: The design applied in this research was experimental with pretest-posttest and a control group setup. Twenty-six  participants were chosen through random sampling and allocated to either the intervention group (comic media education) or the control group (leaflet media education). The research instrument utilized was a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: This study shows that, in the control group, knowledge before education was mostly in the sufficient category (42%) and after education increased to good category (74.2%). Meanwhile, in the intervention group, before education, the majority was in the poor category (35.5%) and after education the majority was in the good category (96.8%), with a p value of 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion: Using comics proves more efficacious in enhancing teenagers' knowledge compared to utilizing leaflets. It is hoped that schools and health centers can collaborate to establish youth counseling centers as a platform for counseling students and can utilize comics as one of the educational media.
Renin-angiotensin-system and clear cell renal carcinoma: research advances and future perspectives

Hypertension is a known risk factor for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Studies have confirmed that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a role beyond regulating blood pressure, influencing various aspects of tumor development and metastasis. Generally, activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/angiotensin II (Ang II)/angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) axis elevates blood pressure and promotes tumor progression, while the activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/[Ang-(1-7)]/Mas receptor (MasR) axis antagonizes these effects. Consequently, many cardiovascular drugs targeting the RAS may possess both hypotensive and antitumor properties. However, the role of RAS in ccRCC is controversial. To explore this, we reviewed the relevant literature. Surprisingly, apart from ACE2, the activation of RAS may facilitate the progression and metastasis of ccRCC. This unexpected finding suggests caution when using RAS inhibitors in ccRCC patients. This review provides an overview of the RAS, highlights research advances in RAS for ccRCC, elucidates the current status of RAS-targeted drugs in the treatment of ccRCC, and discusses the current challenges and future research directions in this field. In conclusion, the upregulation of other effector peptides and the activation of receptors in the RAS, apart from ACE2, may expedite ccRCC progression. Therefore, careful consideration is needed when using relevant drugs in ccRCC patients with hypertension. This synthesis of available evidence is crucial for informing the clinical management of ccRCC and guiding the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
