COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SEVERITY OF INTERNET ADDICTION IN STUDENTS OF EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Galchenko A. S. , Grigoriev P. E. , Poskotinova L. V.
Published: November 2021

om Arkhangelsk, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Nadym and Simferopol. The analysis of the results included two stages. At the first stage of the study, the integral and scale indicators of the severity of Internet-dependent behavior were calculated separately for each sample of students from different regions. At the second stage of the study, the group profiles of Internet-dependent behavior were evaluated by comparing the severity of each symptom of Internet addiction within a separate sample. A common trend among modern young people of older adolescence is the tendency to develop Internet-dependent behavior, regardless of the region of residence. The analysis of group profiles of Internet-dependent behavior by comparing the severity of each symptom within a separate sample allowed us to establish general and specific characteristics of the formation of Internet-dependent behavior in students from different regions of Russia. It was revealed that with a moderate level of Internet addiction severity (the average indicator for the groups is from 47.64 to 50.63 points), all the studied samples have a uniform formation of the main addictive symptoms, which are most likely in close relationship with each other. The variability of responses of respondents from the northern and southern regions was found at the level of different sensitivity to the negative consequences of excessive Internet use. There are reasons to assume that the» threshold of susceptibility» to the negative impact of the Internet environment, beyond which intrapersonal problems and health problems arise in respondents living in the Arctic zone, is lower than in respondents from the southern region. Uncomfortable natural and climatic conditions of living in the Arctic zone, associated with extremely low temperatures, light and oxygen starvation, instability of barometric pressure, as well as with specific isolation due to distance from the mainland, cause tension in all body systems, deplete adaptive reserves and have an adverse effect on health. Thus, with a high degree of probability, the revealed differences between the samples may be due to the climatic and geographical factor, as well as closely related socio-cultural and psychophysiological factors.
Design and Simulation of a Piezoresistive V-Shaped Strain Gauge for Torque Measring
Authors: Hilal Muftah. M
Published: November 2021

Modeling and simulation of system design adjustment is respectable training for design and engineering decisions in real world jobs. In this paper, the exact perseverance connected with the strain of components is very important for structural designs, analyses, and for excellent control. The information linked to this type of test is usually related to the exact dimensions connected with the pressure within a flexible region. This paper proposed the design and simulation of a torque sensor with a piezoresistive V-shaped strain gauge. The piezoresistive measure of a precious metal for a stable base was made according to the results of an ANSYS simulation. A torque sensor with a piezoresistive V-shaped tension measure on a base was made. The result of the particular simulation shifted the fraction of tension on the base to enable the torque on the substrate to be measured. Theoretical studies on the piezoresistive measure of a metal for the stable base as well as the torque sensor were introduced. A maximum of 127.29 με and a maximum resistance change in gauge equal to 0.091Ω were achieved for an applied torque of 22.0725 Nm. Here, computer systems modeling and simulation are going to be used.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through into Japanese Import Prices: Evidence at Both Bilateral and Product Levels
Authors: Khun Channary , Lim Sokchea , Basnet Hem
Published: November 2021

This study investigates the degree of the exchange rate pass-through to Japanese bilateral import prices at the product level for major Japan's trading partners (US, EU, and Asian NIEs) for a period (1998:1-2010:12) dubbed as Japan's lost decade and marked by a gradual the exchange rate appreciation against the US dollar. By considering both country and product dimensions in a unified framework, this study makes one of the first attempts to analyze the responsiveness of Japanese import prices to exchange rate movement. The empirical analysis suggests a declining exchange rate pass-through to Japanese import prices at the bilateral level in some product categories but increasing in others. However, we find no evidence of the changes in exchange rate pass-through for manufacturing, machinery, and overall product level for each of these partners. Our finding sheds light on the recent decline in exchange rate pass-through to Japanese multilateral import prices and helps calibrate its trade relationship with its partner countries.

that we observer every single day. In the field of clinical office, a huge load of
particular redesigns has been brought directly into it as meds yet not in keep up getting
records. Consider a common patient's life who goes through meds in ordinary stretches
and trusts that the actual results will be out notwithstanding a having a hard day by
treating such endless individuals in facilities, an expert requirement to sort out some
way to check the results and present the report back on time. Suppose the patient
incorporates more in a crisis centre. In that case, the endorsement collaboration will
form a genuine perspective that eats up extra time, which winds up being monstrous
trouble. As of now, if an item that could automate the resulting collaboration turns into
a basic factor, it gets two critical differences, that is, the patient need not believe that
the results will be out for a long reach, and the expert need not sort out some way to
check and explain the results.
Moreover, it will similarly break the tendency of being deficient, and the patient will be
allowed with the results for what they had in their body. This objective is making a
digitalized stage to convey the clinical reports and private to the patients, inciting the
completion of paper pen culture for results. Consequently, a lot of time spent on check
and result explanation can be slashed down, which in the end saves a copious
proportion of the time.

Devising an ‘Image Steganography’ Framework for an Enhanced Efficacy for Sequential Data Embedded System
Authors: Gupta Ishaan
Published: November 2021

The process of hiding information between images is called Steganography. The usage has been increased more in the
current decade. Formed various methods and predictions to ad-lib the communication. It involves more with regards
to the solid transmission of the information in the correspondence series. The data might be in any form like the text,
picture, sound and even video records. Steganography all the more deeply utilizes the image as a medium to cover the
first data. In the proposed strategy uses the adjusted type of Least Significant Bit (LSB) addition method. The first text
record is first changed over into a parallel structure. The cover picture is changing over concerning the info
information's comparing pixel game plan. The substitution happens so that one pixel worth will be altered and
supplanted in each square. Therefore, the interloper can't discover the progressions that occurred inside the picture.
This strategy utilizes the LSB procedure in a changed manner with pixel substitution. The trial results show that the
proposed technique stays secure and is quick to process.

Natural Compounds as Potential Regulators of the Phosphatidylinositol 3′ Kinase (PI3K) Pathway in Breast Cancer
Authors: Anirban Roy  , Indira Chakraborty  , Aniruddha Banerji
Published: November 2021

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in women both globally and in India. Although breast cancer is characterized by different molecular subtypes, a majority of breast cancers appear to have mutations in the phosphatidylinositol 3′ kinase (PI3K)/ protein kinase B (Akt) pathway. Dysregulation of the PI3K/ Akt pathway in breast cancers plays important roles in promoting tumour growth, proliferation and invasion. Targeting PI3K mediated signalling cascades could be therefore of value for breast cancer treatment. Studies with synthetic inhibitors of the PI3K/ Akt pathway have yielded positive results but the efficacy shown by many of these inhibitors appear to be compromised by deleterious side effects. An alternative to syn-thetic inhibitors is the use of natural phytochemical compounds with anti-tumorigenic potential like apigenin, pomolic acid, resveratrol and its deriva-tives, curcumin, epigallocatechin-3 gallate and thymoquinone as potential inhibitors of PI3K/Akt signalling in breast cancer and such a strategy could lead to lesser side effects and a lower treatment cost. The current study ex-amines the importance of the PI3K pathway in breast cancer and discusses how regulation of aberrant signalling through this pathway by natural com-pounds could play an important role in breast cancer therapy.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely investigated in a wide range of applications in health, in the pharmaceutical industry and in the material of biotechnology industries. This material can be considered as a group of promising materials in the development of new health applications. The combination of phosphonic acid with LDHs material create a new hybrid material with new properties.In this work the synthesis of Zn/Al double lay-ered hydroxides by chemical co-precipitation method (molar ration 2) and grafted with Diamino Dodecyl Phosphonic Acid (DDPA) via anion-exchange mechanism. The samples were characterized and confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the presence of diamino dodecyl phosphonic acid (DDPA ) was verified by Elemental analysis, BET analysis, and infrared spec-troscopy. Both of the samples were found to be showing antibacterial activ-ity. The zone diameters of Zn-Al- LDH were 40 mm and 25 mm for Esche-richia coli(ATCC 25922) and Streptococcus (ATCC 25922)and 20 mm for bacillus (ATCC 25922) whereas the same for hybrid LDH (Zn-Al-DDPA)were43 mm , 32 mm and 25 mm for the same bacteria showing stronger antibacterial activity of the grafted material over the material itself. The experimental results confirm the application of Zn-Al-DDPA in the field of antibacterial activities and may offer a promising antibacterial elucidation to the society.

Authors: Boufeldja Wahiba  , Hadef Khawla Zahra
Published: November 2021

Edible fungal species like desert truffles are often considered a healthy food source, contributing to high antioxidant and antimicrobial effects which have been used as functional foods for health promotion and disease prevention, and as treatments for a variety of diseases since antiquity. The use of desert truffles in traditional medicine has led to modern scientific investigation into their bioactive properties. This study is part of this perspective and consists of doing in a first time the determination of the nutritional value of Terfezia boudieri harvested from North-western of Algeria, Secondly, we have evalu-ated the antioxidant capacity using two complementary test systems, name-ly DPPH free radical scavenging and iron reduction (FRAP) , and finely the antimicrobial properties were screened against seventeen Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacterial strains; and two strains of yeast using agar well diffusion method. The quantitative estimate of nutritional value shows that T. boudieri showed a preponderance of proteins and minerals with12.57 ± 0.13 and 15 ± 3g / 100g dry weight respectively; In addition, the methanolic extract of the ascocarps contains a high content of total phenols estimated at 44.68 ± 0.22 mg GAE / g, vitamin c and carotenoids are also present in large quantities. The methanolic extract has good capacity re-duction with iron. The free radical scavenging capacity DPPH is very inte-resting with an IC50 = 0.30 mg / ml; this last remains greater than the radical trapping capacity DPPH of ascorbic acid, whose IC50 = 0.08 mg / ml. Results of antimicrobial activity in particular against Gram (+) bacteria, the diameter of which varies from 10 ± 0.01 to 30 ± 0.57 mm where Bacillus subtilis ap-pears to be the most sensitive. On the other hand, they have moderate activ-ity against Gram (-) bacteria where Enterobacter cleacae, and Actinobacter baumannii, are the only Gram (-) bacteria that show hyper-sensitivity, our methanolic extract did not show anticandidal activity against Candida albi-cans. Therefore, the current results have demonstrated that this mushroom is nutritious and contain multiple antioxidants and has confirmed that desert truffle extracts have antimicrobial properties that are effective against com-mon pathogens that cause disease in humans, which can be further exploit-ed for clinical use.
“Utux Tmninun U, ini sruwa muway pusu dnui rudan sunan ka hiya”: Reading Naboth’s Refusal (1 Kings 21:3) from the Sediq Mother Tongue
Authors: Walis Risaw
Published: November 2021

Since the advent of the vernacular Bibles for the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples (TIP), the TIP Christians are privileged to read and hear the Word of God in their ‘ancestral tones’ with familiarity and attachment. Sediq people, the nation the author belongs to, have also been privileged from the publication of the vernacular Bible. Most Sediq people are welcoming this vernacular Bible and feel blessed to use their ancestor’s language to communicate with God. However, the scarcely discussed issues are that the biblical reading and interpretive approaches employed by the Sediq people are distinctive. Namely, Sediq people’s vernacular involves Sediq’s cultural resources-philology, traditional narratives, traditional stories, cultural meanings, traditional philosophies and worldviews-into the interaction with the contents and stories of the vernacular Bible. This paper argues the significance of embracing vernacular as a foundation for biblical reading, how this acceptance shifts the role of the vernacular Bible and how this approach contributes to the contextual, decolonial and postcolonial reflections on the TIP’s land issues by reading 1 Kings 21:3, one of the verses that resonating TIP’s ancestral and cultural wisdom.

In the phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, cmdA, his3, ITS, tef1 and tub2 sequence data, this taxon was clustered as sister to Curvicladiella cignea within Nectriaceae.
Première révolution : l’émergence logique du principe sélectif
Authors: Tort Patrick
Published: November 2021

[Les deux textes qui suivent articulent d’une manière nouvelle des éléments empruntés à plusieurs exposés didactiques antérieurs portant sur la relation entre biologie évolutive et théorie de la civilisation chez Darwin.] La structure logique de la théorie darwinienne de la transformation des espèces par sélection naturelle, telle qu’elle se dégage à la fin de l’année 1859 de L’Origine des espèces, est indissociable de sa genèse, et mobilise successivement et complémentairement le modèle de l’activité sélective des éleveurs et des horticulteurs (sélection artificielle) et celui, issu de Malthus, de l’antagonisme entre pressions de population et ressources. Autour d’un schéma didactique qui s’est imposé depuis les années 1980, Patrick Tort réexplique ici les bases de la théorie de la descendance modifiée par le moyen de la sélection naturelle, sa rupture avec la théologie naturelle providentialiste, et son détournement précoce par la philosophie politique et sociale du système économique libéral, doublement incarnée par Spencer (« darwinisme social ») et Galton (eugénisme). C’est cette puissante annexion qui rend compte historiquement de l’occultation et de la dénaturation des thèses que Darwin soutiendra onze ans plus tard, en 1871, dans La Filiation de l’Homme, sur l’évolution des sociétés humaines et de la civilisation – thèses qui s’opposent diamétralement au dogme éliminationniste auquel l’intégrisme libéral militant, figeant sa lecture sur la seule Origine des espèces, a longtemps enchaîné le nom du naturaliste.
Darwin, socle « naturel » du matérialisme de Marx
Authors: Truchon Lilian
Published: November 2021

Les rapports théoriques qu’entretiennent Marx et Engels avec Darwin sont assez complexes. Patrick Tort a permis de clarifier les implications et les enjeux d’une entente matérialiste (portant sur les bases historico-naturelles de l’historico-social et la démolition de la téléologie dans l’appréhension du vivant) et, quelque temps après, d’un malentendu attribuant à Darwin une étrange « bévue malthusienne » qui l’aurait assimilé aux représentants les plus en vue du libéralisme concurrentialiste anglais. Il existe en effet, à partir de 1862, en dépit d’une sympathie matérialiste maintenue, une volonté commune chez Marx et Engels : celle de discréditer comme idéologique le concept central de sélection naturelle, tel qu’il est formulé par Darwin en 1859. Les effets négatifs de ce préjugé, qui conduira finalement de nombreux marxistes à attribuer à Darwin une responsabilité dans l’apparition d’un « darwinisme social » bourgeois, se mesurent à la non-reconnaissance, dans l’anthropologie du naturaliste, d’une véritable dialectique de la nature (décrite par Darwin en 1871 et analysée par Tort pour la première fois en 1983) que les deux révolutionnaires allemands n’auraient pourtant pas désavouée s’ils l’avaient étudiée et comprise.
Darwinisme et marxisme en écologie : la solidarité ignorée des méthodes
Authors: Guille-Escuret Georges
Published: November 2021

Plongées dans une vaste contestation évolutionniste visant le dogme de la création divine d’un monde immuable, les émergences parallèles de l’écologie darwinienne et de la sociologie marxiste ont provoqué des interprétations simplificatrices que ces deux théories ont dû affronter séparément et qui déroutèrent leur nécessaire dialogue. Ce brouillard suscita entre elles des contradictions superficielles et erronées, mais surtout masqua complètement une originalité commune, beaucoup plus importante, de leurs ressorts méthodologiques. La mutuelle incompréhension qui s’ensuivit persiste aujourd’hui en inhibant la stabilisation, offerte par le darwinisme et le marxisme, d’une démarche scientifique qui associerait pleinement les faits écologiques et les faits sociaux.
Capitalisme et gouvernement de l’entreprise
Authors: Magniadas Jean
Published: November 2021

Les modalités du gouvernement de l’entreprise sont une question posée dans la plupart des pays capitalistes, liée au rôle que jouent les marchés financiers et l’actionnariat et aux formes de fonctionnement et de contrôle des grandes firmes. La mondialisation, la dérégulation financière, les développements de la concentration du capital, les OPA et OPE ont contribué à porter, dans les pays européens le débat sur l’actionnariat et la législation régissant les sociétés, expression et, aussi, élément actif pour l’action des grandes firmes. L’auteur vise à analyser les déterminations des contradictions capitalistes qui ont fait naître cette question et le contenu des réponses actuellement proposées.
Dialogue imaginaire sur la covid-19
Authors: Hawi Rima
Published: November 2021

Durant la crise sanitaire, le personnel de santé a été confronté au tri des patients. Ce texte vise à comprendre en fonction de quoi se font les choix de priorisation en situation de pandémie où les dilemmes éthiques sont accentués. Pour ce faire, il fait référence à l’histoire des idées, en particulier au dialogue entre deux penseurs et deux champs disciplinaires : John Rawls, philosophe, et John Harsanyi, économiste. Le dialogue devient imaginaire dès lors que l’on aborde la Covid-19, néanmoins toujours instructif quant aux critères de priorisation, mais aussi aux limites d’un système qui oblige à ce genre de décision et aggrave les inégalités déjà existantes.

Les formes du travail gratuit face à l’austérité : étude de cas d’une organisation de la santé mentale en Seine-Saint-Denis
Authors: Hildwein Fabien
Published: November 2021

Les travaux récents de Maud Simonet sur le travail gratuit ont mis en lumière son inclusion dans le néo-libéralisme, le déni de sa nature de travail au nom d’autres valeurs et son appropriation par d’autres acteurs que ceux qui l’exécutent. Si ces recherches insistent sur les stratégies d’enrôlement au travail gratuit, qu’en est-il dans les contextes où le contrôle sur les individus est plus faible ? L’étude de cas exploratoire d’une organisation de la santé mentale dans un contexte de grande austérité et d’affaiblissement des services publics permet de montrer l’existence d’un travail gratuit (et en particulier d’un travail réflexif de réinvention de l’action sociale) profitant aux politiques d’austérité, mais suscité indirectement. Il montre aussi comment les termes d’ empowerment et de pair-aidance courent le risque de devenir des justifications de ce travail gratuit.
L’usage du terme « bénévole » au sein d’un groupe d’entraide mutuelle
Authors: Moreira de Alcântara Kéren
Published: November 2021

Les groupes d’entraide mutuelle ( gem ) sont des structures associatives de personnes souffrant d’un trouble psychique dont l’objectif premier est de lutter contre leur isolement et de favoriser la création d’un lien social. La division des responsabilités et les différents types de travail dans cet espace ne sont pas toujours prescrits, mais expérimentés et retravaillés au jour le jour dans le collectif. À partir de l’approche méthodologique de la recherche-action, cette étude vise à comprendre les enjeux autour du travail non salarié, plus précisément l’usage du terme « bénévole » par les adhérents comme marqueur de prestige. Compte tenu des réflexions sur l’éthique du care et le travail inestimable (proposé par Jean Oury), être bénévole implique une articulation entre deux registres : l’action et le désir – quelque chose de l’ordre d’une certaine position de chacun.
La mission du bénévole en hôpital : un paradoxe au niveau de l’identité, du rôle et de l’activité
Authors: Cortessis Sandrine , Deschenaux Amélie
Published: November 2021

Cette recherche porte sur le dispositif d’encadrement et de formation destiné à des bénévoles intervenant dans un hôpital universitaire. Les données empiriques ont été collectées au moyen d’une observation participante à la formation initiale des bénévoles ainsi que via des entretiens et focus-groups menés avec une douzaine de bénévoles. Une analyse des données en termes d’activité prescrite et réelle met en évidence la complexité de leur engagement. Les résultats mettent en effet en évidence des paradoxes au niveau aussi bien de l’identité et de la fonction des bénévoles intervenant en hôpital que du cadre spatio-temporel qui leur est réservé au sein de l’institution, de la définition et de la prescription de leur mission, ainsi que de l’identité personnelle même des bénévoles.
Vendre l’Europe ?
Authors: Gasparini William
Published: November 2021

À partir de l’analyse des notes rédigées par le Service de Presse et d’Information de la Commission des communautés européennes de 1966 à 1985, l’article se propose de saisir les premiers usages européistes du sport dans le cadre d’une nouvelle politique de communication et d’un processus d’européanisation informelle. Pour comprendre comment émerge l’idée de « faire société européenne » par le sport, il convient de la replacer dans le contexte des transformations internes des Communautés européennes, des mutations du sport en Europe et de la politique de communication offensive de la Commission. Nous nous intéresserons également aux « entrepreneurs d’Europe » de la DG X et du Comité Adonnino pour « l’Europe des citoyens ».
Quand les votes ne font pas la force : Capacités d’influence et succès du gouvernement allemand dans les négociations au Conseil de l’UE en matière de JAI
Authors: Perarnaud Clément

Cet article explore les capacités d’influence des États membres dans le cadre des négociations au Conseil de l’UE autour des enjeux de justice et affaires intérieures (JAI). En prenant pour cas d’étude l’influence du gouvernement allemand, l’État membre disposant du plus grand pouvoir de vote au Conseil, à travers deux négociations récentes, cette recherche illustre comment de « grands » États membres n’ont pas systématiquement la capacité de façonner les décisions du Conseil, notamment en raison du profil individuel de leurs négociateurs et de l’efficacité de leur système de coordination.

Comment concilier le constat d’une « post-démocratisation » de l’Union européenne avec celui de son structurel « déficit démocratique » ? En analysant l’actualité, la fondation et les origines de la post-démocratie européenne, nous entendons nuancer l’hypothèse d’un changement de paradigme démocratique dû à la crise des années 2000-2010. Selon nous, la crise révèle, mais n’invente pas, une forme de gouvernance qui trouve ses origines dans les années 1950, alors que l’échelle supranationale européenne devient le laboratoire d’une rationalité eunomique au sein de laquelle les techniciens remplacent progressivement les politiques et les groupes d’intérêts les citoyens.
Hungary’s renationalisation strategies: how a populist radical right government may seek control over (EU) migration policy
Authors: Trauner Florian , Stutz Philipp
Published: November 2021

De quelle manière un gouvernement populiste de droite radicale tel que le gouvernement hongrois sous Viktor Orbán peut-il limiter l’influence de l’UE dans le domaine des migrations ? En conceptualisant différentes « stratégies de renationalisation », l’article montre comment le gouvernement hongrois a réussi à renforcer le contrôle national sur les capacités de migration et la prise de décision. En s'opposant au droit de l'UE et en utilisant largement les lois d'exception privant le droit supranational de son sens, le gouvernement Fidesz a poursuivi un programme national anti-migration largement incompatible avec le droit européen et international. La Commission et d'autres acteurs de l'UE ont cherché à contrer ces stratégies, mais leur boîte à outils soit a été difficile à mettre en œuvre, soit n'est encore qu'à un stade précoce de développement.
Biographies relationnelles d’entrepreneures sociales au Sénégal
Authors: Gning Sadio Ba
Published: November 2021

Les études sur l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) accordent beaucoup d’intérêt aux opportunités de pouvoir et d’émancipation qu’offrent les initiatives féminines. Mais rares sont celles qui prennent en compte la multiplicité des ancrages féminins dans des espaces de production et de reproduction des rapports entre hommes et femmes. Ce travail étudie, au prisme des parcours professionnels, le rôle des réseaux relationnels dans la construction de la figure de l’entrepreneure sociale, et ses implications dans les rapports de genre. À partir d’une approche biographique, cet article montre, d’une part, l’encastrement des parcours professionnels dans des liens multiples impliquant le recours (ou le renoncement) à des liens anciens et nouveaux (familiaux, associatifs, y compris religieux et politiques) à différents niveaux (professionnel, personnel, institutionnel) et, d’autre part, la diversité des figures d’entrepreneures sociales, qui révèle des chemins multiples et corrélés d’émancipation négociée.
Automatic Recommendation System of College English Teaching Videos Based on Students’ Personalized Demands
Authors: Yang Xinyao
Published: November 2021

With the emergence of computers and networks, the social needs for English competence have presented a diversified and professionalized trend. The current single teaching model can no longer satisfy students’ needs. To cater to different demands of students and improve their level of satisfaction with personalized and automatically recommended teaching videos, an automatic recommendation sys-tem of college English teaching videos, which consists of interface layer, busi-ness logic layer, and data layer, was designed. The quality of recommended teaching videos was ensured through the strict management of English teaching videos within the system. The degree of interest in videos was calculated accord-ing to students’ browsing history of teaching videos. The content of teaching vid-eos that meet students’ personalized demands was established on the basis of the degree of interest. The Naïve Bayesian classification method was used to precise-ly, rapidly, and stably divide the teaching videos into two classes—interest and disinterest—according to the abovementioned information. Results show that the recall ratio and precision ratio of this system reach as high as 95.18% and 97.2%, respectively. The system recommendations averagely rank top, the recommenda-tion precision is high, and the recommended video contents are abundant, with an applause rate of 97.79%. This designed system can establish student-centered college English teaching methods, create a favorable language environment, and better promote the teaching of English among college students.
Evaluation Criteria for Quality Education of Physical Education Lessons Based on Logical Analysis

Published: November 2021

To cultivate high-quality talents, it is important to develop a set of scientific and complete evaluation criteria for comprehensive quality. The effective evaluation could promote and guide teaching and learning, and improve the overall quality of students. Considering the features of PE lessons, this paper resorts to multiple methods, e.g., questionnaire survey, Delphi’s method, mathematical statistics, and logical analysis, to establish a system of evaluation criteria for the quality education of PE lessons, the proposed system includes 4 primary indices, 10 secondary indices, and 24 tertiary indices. The weight of each index was determined through analytic hierarchy process (AHP), making the criteria more scientific. Taking the PE major of a college for example, the proposed criteria were investigated empirically. The results show that experts, teachers, and students made consistent evaluations. Thus, the proposed system and evaluation criteria are feasible, and capable of evaluating the overall quality of students objectively and fairly. The research results provide a tool and idea for improving the quality education of PE lessons in China, and promoting the evaluation of students’ overall quality.

Authors: Fan Xue Ping , Wang Sen , Liu Yue Fei
Published: November 2021

The existing bridges are subjected to time-variant loading and resistance degradation processes. How to update resistance probability distribution functions with resistance degradation model and proof load effects has become one of the research hotspots in bridge engineering field. To solve with the above issue, this paper proposed the general particle simulation algorithms of complex Bayesian formulas for bridge resistance updating. Firstly, the complex Bayesian formulas for updating resistance probability model are built. For overcoming the difficulty for the analytic calculation of complex Bayesian formulas, the general particle simulation methods are provided to obtain the particles of complex Bayesian formulas; then, with the improved expectation maximization optimization algorithm obtained with the combination of K-MEANS algorithm and Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm, the above simulated particles can be used to estimate the posteriori probability density functions of resistance probability model; finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and application of the proposed algorithms.

Published: November 2021

The novel coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic state which affects the respiratory system of patients. Given the current situation, any acute respiratory distress has to be evaluated thoroughly to arrive at a definitive diagnosis for targeted management, which is challenging. We report a patient who presented with respiratory distress with fat embolism syndrome that was suspected as COVID-19 pneumonia.
A Rare Case of Ball Valve Effect of Vocal Cord Papillomas in a Child: An Anaesthetic Challenge
Authors: Aggarwal Reema , Singh Gurpreet
Published: November 2021

Vocal cord papillomas are rare growths of viral etiology caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Large polyps are known to obstruct glottic opening and can cause acute airway obstruction. We report a case of 4-year-old male child with progressive hoarseness of voice and stridor posted for excision of vocal cord papillomas. Paediatric age of the patient and the position of the growth obstructing the glottic opening at vocal cords provided an extremely challenging environment for induction of anaesthesia.
Pathogens and antimicrobial resistance amongst stroke patients in the intensive care unit: A five years review from Benin City, Nigeria
Authors: Odiase Francis , Lofor Patrick
Published: November 2021

Severe stroke may necessitate intensive care unit admission, but there is a heightened risk of acquiring infection with use of ICU devices. Data regarding infection, pathogens and microbial resistance amongst stroke patients admitted into the ICU is scanty in Nigeria. This study aims to describe the infections, pathogens and antibiotics resistance pattern amongst stroke patients admitted into the ICU. It was a retrospective study. The ICU admission records of all stroke patients at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital from January 2014 to September 2019 were reviewed. The data obtained were the demographics, the types of stroke, results of microbiological studies on endotracheal aspirates, urine specimen, blood specimen, wound swab, vascular catheters, urinary catheters and the antibiogram pattern. One hundred and eight stroke patients were admitted into the ICU during the 5-year under review. The mean age was 61.8 with 51% being females and 52% having ischemic stroke. Seventy-five percent of the stroke patient had hospital acquired infection. Ventilator associated pneumonia accounted for 67.1% of infections, urinary tract infection was 22.8%, and blood stream infection 6.3% while 3.7% had infected decubitus ulcers. Microbial isolates were, Enterobacter sakazakii, accounting for 43.5%, Klebsiella pneumonia 13%, Escherichia coli 11.1%, and Proteus mirabilis 7.4% while 48% had Plasmodium falciparum infection. The micro-bacteria isolates were multi-antibiotics resistant, with the highest resistance for cotrimazole, cefuroxime and ceftazidime. The stroke patient in the ICU is susceptible to developing drug resistant hospital acquired infections, which could increase mortality. Ensuring minimal cases of ICU infection with continuous antimicrobial surveillance and robust antibiotics policy should be the goal.

Authors: El Serwi Bahaa , Hadhood Mahmoud Mohamed , Allam Yasser , El Deen Ahmed Shams , Sherif Osama
Published: November 2021

Background

Anterior cervical discectomy has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of degenerative disc disease. The anterior approach allows direct visualization of the entire interspace and wide decompression of the anterior aspect of cervical spinal cord and nerve roots; it may be undertaken in cases of multilevel disease and interbody fusion may be performed if required.

Patients and methods

A total of 20 patients aged from 20 to 65 years, 16 females and four males with symptomatic cervical disc disease, presented in the outpatient clinic, Menoufia University hospital from 2012 to 2014, were examined and followed up prospectively, The mean age was 43.25±9.06 (range: 28–60) years. There were 13 patients (65%) with radiculopathy only, two patients (10%) with mylopathy only, and five patients (10%) with radiculomylopathy; seven cases were affected by mylopathy graded according to Ranawat grading. There were 37 levels affected among the 20 patients. C5,6 was the commonly affected level 1 (40.5%), then C4,5 11 (29.7%), then C6,7 7 (18.9%), and the least one was C3,4 4 (10.8%). Five cases were operated by using a microscope. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) were performed using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages and local bone graft.

Results

The mean operative time per microscopic level was 64.5 min, the nonmicroscopic level was 47 min. The only intraoperative complication was external jugular-vein ligation that occurred in two cases (nonmicroscopic). The only postoperative complication was difficulty in swallowing, which occurred in 13 cases (11 nonmicroscopic and two microscopic). The mean of preoperative interbody ratio was 1.8±0.2, 12 months postoperatively the mean was 1.9± 0.2. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean of the interbody ratio preoperative and at 12 months. The mean preoperative disc space height was 3.3±0.8 mm, 12 months postoperative was 5.8±0.9. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean disc space height preoperative and 12 months postoperative. Rate of fusion at 12 months: three levels were average fusion, 26 levels were good fusion, and eight levels were excellent fusion.

Conclusion

Patients receiving ACDF with local bone graft combined with a PEEK cage had significantly shorter operation time, lower perioperative complication rates, and better radiological results comparing with those with an iliac bone graft alone. It seems that the local bone graft with a PEEK cage appears to be a safe alternative to the iliac bone graft for ACDF.
Short-term outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair versus open Latarjet procedure in high-demand patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation without significant bone loss
Authors: Sobhy Mohamed H. , Khater Ahmed H. , Haroon Yehia , Abdelhady Amr M.
Published: November 2021

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes and return to work/sport between open Latarjet procedure and arthroscopic Bankart repair in high-demand patients with recurrent post-traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation without significant bone loss. The authors hypothesized that open Latarjet procedure would allow for an earlier return to work and sports activity with lower rate of recurrence.

Patients and methods

This is a randomized clinical trial conducted on 30 high-demand patients with recurrent post-traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. All patients had no significant glenoid or humeral head bone loss. Fifteen patients underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair and 15 patients underwent open Latarjet procedure. The main criteria for assessments were Rowe score, shoulder range of motion, and return to work/sport.

Results

The main findings of this study were that all patients returned to work/sport and the mean time was 6.4 months postoperatively. Patients who underwent open Latarjet procedure returned to work/sport more rapidly than patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair (P=0.021). The mean postoperative Rowe score was higher in patients who underwent open Latarjet procedure. But was not statistically significant.

Conclusions

Both arthroscopic Bankart repair and open Latarjet procedure are valid surgical options and have adequate outcomes in the treatment of patients with recurrent post-traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation and participate in heavy shoulder activities. But patients with arthroscopic Bankart repair take a longer time to return to work/sport.

Background:

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease with significant comorbidities, and regardless of its extent, it affects the patients' quality of life. The various modalities of treating psoriasis comprise topical or systemic medications, phototherapy, and an array of biologic agents. There is a lack of Indian recommendations on the management of psoriasis with these different modalities and challenges faced by the clinicians in day-to-day practice.

Aim:

To develop India-specific consensus for systemic management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Method and Results:

A panel of dermatology experts, based on the evidence and international recommendations, coupled with their own clinical experience, developed recommendations for systemic management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Conclusion:

These recommendations are meant to provide guidance in terms of choice of systemic therapies, dosing, effectiveness, and safety. It also addresses clinical challenges that may be experienced during psoriasis management.
Leprosy in Elderly and Children among New Cases – A 3-Year Retrospective Study
Authors: Arunraghav Potharaju , Herakal Kallappa
Published: November 2021

Background:

Leprosy occurs in all age groups, with adults constituting the majority. However, leprosy in children always drew the attention of epidemiologists as a guide to transmission of leprosy. With increasing life expectancy and decreasing prevalence of leprosy, there is going to be a significant rise of leprosy among elderly in India. In elderly leprosy patients, clinical signs are often quiet, which makes it a hidden source of infection. The detection of leprosy in elderly is of epidemiological importance, hence it is critical that due attention be given to leprosy in elderly as a possible contributor to hidden leprosy in India.

Aim:

To analyze leprosy in elderly and in children from the records of new patients seen over the past 3-year period.

Methods:

Analysis of details of “leprosy in elderly” and “leprosy in children'” from the records of new leprosy patients seen at a dermatology OPD of a teaching hospital over a period of 3 years.

Results:

Out of 157 patients, 34 (21.6%) were above 45 years, while 18 (11.4%) were below 15 years, the difference being statistically significant (P > 0.05). Bacteriological Index (BI) values in elderly were higher compared to children. In addition, elderly had a higher percentage of multibacillary (MB) leprosy compared to children both clinically (35% vs 22%) and histopathologically (38% vs 22%).

Conclusion:

Leprosy in elderly is an important entity, and there is a need to study it as a distinct group. It will provide information on hidden leprosy load and apprise us on sources of infection in the community.
