Authors: Сабадаш Віра Василівна , Гумницький Ярослав Михайлович
Published: December 2020

В роботі приведено результати досліджень термодинаміки процесу адсорбції фосфатів з модельного розчину ортофосфорної кислоти в статичних умовах. Досліджено зміну рН розчинів фосфатів у процесі адсорбції. Адсорбцію фосфатів було описано ізотермами Фрейндліха та Ленгмюра із R2>0.9. Встановлено, що ізотерму адсорбції ортофосфорної кислоти можна описати ізотермою БЕТ (Брунауера, Еммета і Теллера). Параметри рівняння БET для процесу адсорбції фосфату цеолітом наступні: 1/(amK)=0.0196; (K-1)/( amK)=0.3304; К=0.99352416;  максимальне значення адсорбційної здатності на фосфатах у полімолекулярному шарі am = 51,35296. Термогравіметричним методом досліджено цеоліт до та після адсорбції фосфатів. В роботі представлено дериватограми досліджуваних зразків природного цеоліту та зразка після адсорбції ортофосфорної кислоти з 10% розчину. Нами проведено розрахунки термодинамічних параметрів реакцій які можливі під час адсорбції фосфатів з концентрованих розчинів ортофосфорної кислоти природним цеолітом. Постановка питання полягала у встановленні імовірності утворення поліфосфату, який було ідентифіковано за значенням температури фазового переходу на термограмі як натрію трифосфат. Приведено реакції взаємодії фосфатів з поверхнаю цеоліту. Приведено розрахунки термодинамічних параметрів для різних варіантів проходження реакцій взаємодії фосфатів з цеолітовою матрицею. Встановлено найбільш імовірну схему взаємодії згідно значень ізобарно-ізотермічного потенціалу. Розраховано термодинамічні параметри даних реакцій. Встановлено, що хемосорбція фосфатіону та утворення полі фосфату в порах сорбенту є спонтанною реакцією. Для даної реакції за температури t=298 ºK ізобарно-ізотермічний потенціал становив ΔG=-1202.91 , кДж / моль, зміна ентропії DS°298=0.397 кДж / (моль K), зміна ентальпії DH°298=-1084.6 кДж / моль.

Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the assessment of changes in the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Ural Federal District, which they have undergone in connection with the change in the macroeconomic situation in the country and regions. The article provides an overview of scientific research on the topic under consideration. On the basis of open official data, using general scientific methods, the influence of the introduced restrictive measures related to the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection on the regional budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the Ural Federal District is shown. The analysis is carried out in the context of the structure of sources of formation of budget revenues, as well as in the areas of spending financial resources of the regions of the Ural Federal District, an assessment of the balance of the studied budgets is given. Comparative analysis was carried out for the first half of 2019 and 2020.
The results obtained indicate that in the revenue part of the studied budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, tax revenues from profits and incomes have significantly decreased. All the regional budgets under consideration show an increase in gratuitous receipts. In the expenditure part of the budgets, the increase is mainly noted in the sections "Healthcare" and "Social policy".
Thus, measures of state support in the first half of 2020 made it possible to maintain a budget surplus in four of the six subjects of the Russian Federation of the Ural Federal District. However, the current situation with the spread of coronavirus infection does not allow making optimistic forecasts for the further filling of the revenues of regional budgets. The situation is similar with the expenditure side – they will increase due to the growth of social expenditures, which will affect the balance of regional budgets.

ABSTRACT Background: Portal hypertension (PH) can be measured indirectly through a hepatic vein pressure gradient greater than 5 mmHg. Cirrhosis is the leading cause for PH and can present as complications ascites, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, and esophagogastric varices, characterizing gastropathy. Aim: To evaluate the use of carvedilol as primary prophylaxis in the development of collateral circulation in rats submitted to the partial portal vein ligament (PPVL) model. Method: This is a combined qualitative and quantitative experimental study in which 32 Wistar rats were divided into four groups (8 animals in each): group I - cirrhosis + carvedilol (PPVL + C); group II - cirrhosis + vehicle (PPVL); group III - control + carvedilol (SO-sham-operated + C); group IV - control + vehicle (SO-sham-operated). After seven days of the surgical procedure (PPVL or sham), carvedilol (10 mg/kg) or vehicle (1 mL normal saline) were administered to the respective groups daily for seven days. Results: The histological analysis showed no hepatic alteration in any group and a decrease in edema and vasodilatation in the PPVL + C group. The laboratory evaluation of liver function did not show a statistically significant change between the groups. Conclusion: Carvedilol was shown to have a positive effect on gastric varices without significant adverse effects.

RESUMO Esta revisão narrativa sintetizou evidências científicas sobre desigualdades de gênero e raça na pandemia de Covid-19, enfocando o trabalho produtivo/reprodutivo das mulheres, a violência de gênero e o acesso aos Serviços de Saúde Sexual e Reprodutiva (SSR). Os resultados confirmam que as desigualdades sociais devem ser consideradas para o efetivo controle da pandemia e para a preservação de direitos. Para além dos efeitos diretos do SARS-CoV-2, discute-se que barreiras de acesso a serviços de SSR podem ocasionar o aumento de gravidezes não pretendidas, abortos inseguros e mortalidade materna. O distanciamento social tem obrigado muitas mulheres a permanecer confinadas com seus agressores e dificultado o acesso a serviços de denúncia, incorrendo no aumento da violência de gênero e em desfechos graves à saúde. Como principais responsáveis pelo cuidado, as mulheres estão mais expostas a adoecer nas esferas profissional e doméstica. A conciliação trabalho-família tornou-se mais difícil para elas durante a pandemia. A literatura naturaliza as diferenças de gênero, raça e classe, com ênfase em fatores de risco. Uma agenda de pesquisa com abordagem interseccional é necessária para embasar a formulação de políticas que incorporem os direitos humanos e atendam às necessidades dos grupos mais vulneráveis à Covid-19.

Abstract Background hemophilia is a rare coagulopathy, treated by replacing the missing blood clotting factor. Objective to assess the direct costs of hemophilia treatment from the perspective of the Unified Health System, highlighting the impact costs of new therapeutic modalities. Method partial economic assessment of the direct costs of hemophilia, in which were collected data from patient records from 2011 to 2015, at the Blood Center in the city of Juiz de Fora. Costs were assigned to consultations, exams, hospitalizations, and medications according to the price list of the National Health Surveillance Agency (in Portuguese ANVISA) and the Table of Procedures, and Medications. Results among 98 patients evaluated, 76 had hemophilia A, and 43.3% presented severe hemophilia. The number of consultations and the consumption of Clotting Factor Concentrates (CFCs) were higher in severe hemophilia. Hospitalizations were rare. Direct costs increased 286.8% from 2011 to 2015. The mean annual cost per patient was R$57,416.43, with no significant difference between hemophilia A and B. The expenditures for factor concentrates amounted to 99.46% of total costs. The actual impact cost was more than R$6,000,000.00. Conclusion the direct costs of hemophilia were high, mainly due to factor concentrates. There was an increase in costs with the incorporation of technologies, although there are some areas with potential inefficiencies.

THE CATHOLIC CLERGY IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC AREA, 1763-1830: PATTERNS OF DEVIANCY
Authors: Codignola Luca
Published: December 2020

Abstract: In a very transnational fashion, priestly misbehavior is a constant feature in the primary sources dealing with the United States and British North America, including Québec, between 1763 and 1846. Rather than a catalogue of occurrences, this article briefly surveys the three main elements of such misbehavior, namely, illicit sex, immoderate drinking, and excessive avariciousness. It then suggests an interpretative grid where behavioral norms were interpreted differently whenever they were challenged by local conditions, leading to accusations of misbehavior whether these accusations reflected actual wrongdoings or not. Ethnic rivalries, different institutional traditions, conflicting political choices, and Protestant competition are the most likely candidates to populate such a large framework.

Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é verificar se o indicador de endividamento proposto pela Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL) apresenta uma relação latente com os indicadores de endividamento utilizados pela literatura. A ANEEL sistematizou a supervisão econômico-financeira das operadoras de distribuição de energia por meio de indicadores de desempenho, entre eles o endividamento, o qual se diferencia dos utilizados na literatura. Neste estudo, o indicador da ANEEL de endividamento foi comparado com diferentes indicadores proxy de endividamento (Ribeiro & Santos, 2004; Lima & Freire, 2008; Ribeiro, Macedo, & Marques, 2012; Delen, Kuzey, & Uyar, 2013; Ozório, 2015; Castro et al., 2017). Para verificar se o indicador da ANEEL segue um padrão parecido com os demais, os indicadores foram agrupados por meio da análise fatorial. Os dados financeiros foram coletados nas demonstrações financeiras disponibilizadas pela ANEEL, no período de 2011 a 2018. Os resultados mostraram uma relação latente entre os indicadores de endividamento da ANEEL e três indicadores usados na literatura. É possível identificar que apesar de as distribuidoras e a ANEEL defenderem que a sistemática utilizada é setorial (ANEEL, 2014), o indicador de endividamento apresenta padrão de comportamento parecido com os utilizados pela literatura.
Effectiveness of a combined agent with hemostatic and anti-adhesive activity in liver surgery in an experiment
Authors: Soldatova D. S. , Bezhin A. I. , Ishunina T. A.
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study was to develop a hemostatic agent with anti-adhesive properties and to study its effect on liver morphology, metabolic activity and hepatocyte regeneration in experimental liver injury. Methods. In 60 rats following experimental resection liver injury, the time of bleeding and the volume of blood loss were determined. Histological preparations were used to study the size of hepatocytes and their nuclei, the content of glycogen (PAS-reaction), the number of binucleated hepatocytes and the expression of Ki-67. Results. Compared with the control, an agent based on 6% sodium carboxymethylcellulose gel and 5% aminocaproic acid effectively and reliably reduces the bleeding time by 72% (217.91 s), the volume of blood loss by 74.7% (372.85 mg) (p ≤ 0.01) and the degree of blood filling of the sinusoid liver capillaries. In addition, the use of the novel gel prevents the adhesion formation. It stimulates mitotic activity of hepatocytes, accompanied by an increase in the number of binucleated hepatocytes and Ki-67 expression. By the 14th day, this activity significantly decreases. Hypertrophy of hepatocytes and their nuclei is observed by the 7th and 14th days of the experiment. This indicates both an increase in the metabolic activity of hepatocytes and intracellular regeneration. The use of the hemostatic gel does not alter the glycogen-storing function of hepatocytes, which indicates the lack of pronounced hypoxia due to effective control of bleeding. Conclusion. The local hemostatic gel based on 6% sodium carboxymethylcellulose gel and 5% aminocaproic acid can be recommended for local bleeding control in liver injuries and surgery.

Aim. To report a rare case of split liver transplantation in two urgent recipients treated in hospitals that are very far from each other. Material and methods. Partial liver grafts were obtained by controlled full-right/full-left in situ splitting. The left lobe was transplanted in a 7-year-old child with severe hepatic failure (PELD score 39) resulting, probably from an progressive intrahepatic familial cholestasis in Novosibirsk. The right lobe was used for re-transplantation in a 28-year-old patient with hepatic artery thrombosis (UNOS status 1A) after living donor right lobe liver transplantation in Moscow. Results. The course of the early post-operative period in recipient 1 was complicated by infected total pancreatonecrosis with the development of limited biliary leakage and the formation of a stricture, which required reconstructive cholangiojejunostomy 12 months after transplantation. Recipient 2 consistently underwent biliary leakage, arrosive arterial bleeding, graft artery thrombosis, all of which could become fatal. Complications were successfully eliminated by the consistent use of surgical and endovascular interventions. Conclusion. The presented observation is, firstly, an example of effective inter-center cooperation, and secondly, a demonstration of the existing problems of postmortem organ donation, which determine the need for such extreme surgery in critical situations.
A munkaelégedettség szerepe és jelentősége a katonai pályán
Authors: Barna Boglárka
Published: December 2020

A munkával való elégedettség fogalma és elméletei szorosan kapcsolódnak a motiváció, munkamotiváció jelenségének kutatásához. A szükségletek, a kielégítésükre tett erőbefektetés és a sikert követõ állapot bonyolult együttese alkotja azt a jelenséget, amelyet a munkavégzésre vetítve munkával való elégedettségnek nevezhetünk. Az elégedettséget befolyásoló tényezők feltárására számos kutatás született. Emellett azonban érdemes kitérni a jelenség mindennapi munkavégzésre gyakorolt hatására is annak érdekében, hogy egy szervezet eredményesebben működhessen. A haderő esetében sincs ez másképp. A katonai pályán a speciális munkakörülmények által az állomány körében felmerülő számos kihívás kezelését könnyítheti meg a munkaelégedettség növelése. Továbbá, ahogy a többi szervezetre, úgy a fegyveres erőkre is igaz, hogy magasabb fokú munkaelégedettség mellett a szervezeti célok elérése gyorsabbá, gördülékenyebbé válik. Jelen munkámban megkísérlem katonai pálya vonatkozásában bemutatni a munkaelégedettség szerepét és a jelenségben rejlő lehetõségeket.

A comparative simulation of hot radial shear rolling (RSR) of billets made of a superelastic Ti–Zr–Nb and a commercial VT6 alloy was performed using the QForm finite element modeling program. Rolling in 48 modes with a variable feed angle and elongation ratio at 4 levels and initial rolling temperature at 3 levels was investigated for each alloy. The Ti–Zr–Nb alloy rheology during hot deformation was determined experimentally by hot upset forging and imported into the QForm program. The presence of maxima on the flow curves at the initial stage of deformation, which are absent in the VT6 alloy, is revealed. Simulation results are presented in the form of fields of the stiffness coefficient, strain rate intensity, cumulative strain degree in the maximum reduction section depending on the rolling mode. General regularities of the Ti–Zr–Nb and VT6 behavior in RSR are similar. The gradient of the fields studied decreases, and the roll pressure and torque increase with an increase in the feed angle and elongation ratio. The initial rolling temperature does not significantly affect the deformation pattern, but it significantly affects the roll pressure and torque. At the same time, the experimental alloy demonstrated the greater tendency to localize deforming forces in the near-contact zone and to increase the gradient of stress-strain state parameters over the billet section. The study of the tightening shape and depth of rolled billet ends showed that the Ti–Zr–Nb alloy has a 3.5–9.6 % greater tightening depth. It is shown that experimental alloy rolling requires 1.6–2.4 times higher roll pressure and torque as compared to the commercial alloy.
The Role of the Prosecutor's Office in Crime Counteraction Under the Legislation of Ukraine
Authors: Lapkin Andrii
Published: December 2020

The effectiveness of crime counteraction in modern conditions greatly depends on the functioning of the corresponding institutional mechanism, where the prosecutors office has an important part. Using the analysis of international documents and the experience of a number of countries, the author shows that the common international standard for the function of the prosecutors office in the criminal law sphere is to give it a priority role in suppressing crime, and to define this role in a more or less broad way at the national level. The author researches the Ukrainian model of the functions performed by the prosecutors office where this body is mainly involved in criminal proceedings, which makes it possible to identify crime counteraction as the key task of the prosecutors office. The author also examines the progress and the result of the prosecutors office reforms in Ukraine in view of the changes in the functions of this body in the sphere of crime counteraction. The functions of the prosecutors office are analyzed from the standpoint of their importance for suppressing crime based on the research of legislation, analytical and statistical data. The author shows that the key tasks (directions) of crime counteraction (identifying and eliminating the causes and conditions for committing crimes; identifying, suppressing and investigating crimes; prosecution of perpetrators; compensation of damage inflicted by crimes) fully correlate with the functions of the Ukrainian prosecutors office. The function of procedural supervision of the pre-trial investigation allows the prosecutors office to influence the identification, suppression and investigation of crimes; the function of the support of public prosecution in court makes it possible to criminally prosecute persons guilty of crimes; the function of representation allows the prosecutors office to compensate the state for the damage inflicted by crimes. Special attention is paid to the prosecutors coordination of the work of law enforcement bodies on counteracting corruption. Although it has lost its status as a separate function of the prosecutors office under Ukrainian legislation, it still has key importance for the work of different law enforcement bodies aimed at suppressing crimes in their different forms. The author conducts a comparative legal study of the regulation of coordination activities of the prosecutors office in Ukraine and in other countries, as well as the prospects of establishing the European Prosecutors Office; based on this study, the author concludes that the definition of the prosecutors office as the coordination center of the system of criminal justice aimed at counteracting corruption is a widely recognized global trend. The author also presents suggestions on improving the effectiveness of the coordination activities of the prosecutors office and of its other functions aimed at counteracting crimes.

Authors: S Mansour Joost , Not Fabrice
Published: December 2020

Many marine protists are not culturable and therefore challenging to study, nonetheless, they are essential in all marine ecosystems. The development of single-cell techniques is allowing for more marine protists to be studied. Thereby Cultivation-independent studies are essential for the study of organisms sensitive to the sampling procedure, such as Radiolaria. This method describes the means to acquire clean isolated single-cells from plankton nets for physiological and/or transcriptomic analysis. The isolation of cells in this protocol is followed by preparing the cells for RNA extraction (protocol: Single-cell total RNA extraction from marine protists (e.g. Acantharia, Strombidium cf basimorphum, and Prymnesium parvum)).

Published: December 2020

BackgroundHealth literacy is vital for people’s ability to manage health. It has been known for a long time that the importance of education in increasing health literacy is an undeniable fact. The first aim of this study was to investigate the health literacy levels of employees working in different business lines receiving service from the occupational health and safety unit. The second aim was to reveal how health literacy levels are affected according to the training duration.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 202 employees receiving service from the Karabuk occupational health and safety unit. The employees were divided into three groups as workers, officers and others. All employees were given the questionnaire consisting of 31 questions including sociodemographic characteristics and the adult health literacy scale. A face-to-face interview was performed with each of the employees. Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe range of adult health literacy scale scores of the employees was 4-23. There was no significant difference in adult health literacy scale scores between age groups (p=0.38). The percentage of employees who received more than 16 hours training course was 19.3%, 20.6%, and 46.7% for workers, civil servants and other employees, respectively. Adult health literacy scale scores increased in proportion to the amount of training the employees received (p=0.001).ConclusionThis study reveals that occupational health training has a positive effect on health literacy.

Published: December 2020

BackgroundPoor air and mask quality in the work environment increase the risks of inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, ongoing oxidative stress, and superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) levels in the airways. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the Nephrolepis exaltata - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (NE-HRS) combination herbal mask on the airways, as measured by ROS and SOD3 levels in the nasal wash of textile industry workers.MethodsThis was a pre- and post-test randomized controlled trial, consisting of 30 subjects with ³5-year working time, conducted for eight weeks and monitored every ten days. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups, regular surgical mask group (n=10), NE-HRS combination herbal mask group (n=10) and factory mask group (n=10). SOD3 and ROS levels were determined using ELISA. Data were analyzed with One-way ANOVA and multiple comparison tests.Results ROS levels decreased significantly in all groups (p=0.004). Regular surgical masks decreased ROS levels by 67.90 ± 50.66 pg/mL, NE-HRS combination herbal masks by 49.91 ± 45.06 pg/mL, and factory masks by 193.96 ± 128.36 pg/ml. SOD3 levels also decreased but not significantly (p=0.053). Differences in ROS levels between surgical mask and NE-HRS combination herbal mask was not significant (p=0.796). ConclusionHerbal masks laminated with NE-HRS combination significantly reduced ROS levels among textile industry workers. NE-HRS combination herbal masks have a similar protective effect to the regular surgical mask.

Published: December 2020

BackgroundDiazinon is a widely used pesticide to eradicate agricultural pests globally with the potential to cause harmful effects on humans by generating free radicals and depleting endogenous antioxidants. Soy flour possesses high antioxidant effect. This study evaluated the nephroprotective effect of soy flour  on diazinon-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. MethodsAn experimental laboratory study was carried out involving 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups of 6 rats. The normal control (Kn) and the negative control (K-) groups received normal saline, the treatment groups (K1, K2, K3) received 10%, 15%, and 20% soy flour in distilled water, respectively, on day 1 to day 28. Subsequently, for five days, all groups received diazinon 40 mg/kg, except for the normal control group. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were measured at the end of the study. The Kruskal Wallis test with the post hoc Mann Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. ResultsBlood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were lower in all treatment groups (K1, K2, K3) compared to the negative control group (K-), while the K3 level was the lowest (24.28 ± 1.56 mg/dL and 0.93 ± 0.14 mg/dL).  There was a significant decrease in BUN and creatinine levels in the experimental rats of the 15% and 20% soy flour groups (K2, K3) compared to the negative control group (K-).ConclusionAdministration of soy flour (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) had a nephroprotective effect in preventing increases in BUN and creatinine levels of diazinon-induced nephrotoxic male Wistar rats.
Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis in an informal porter
Authors: Soemarko Dewi S. , Herlinah Herlinah
Published: December 2020

BackgroundUpper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) is a rare condition, in which job-related arm movements and repetitive, forceful or overhead arm activities have been recognized as the predisposing factor for this condition. UEDVT can occur among informal porters. This report describes a case of UEDVT in an informal porter due to manual lifting of heavy goods and reviews the literature for occupational reports of this condition.Case descriptionA 35-year-old male informal porter presented with marked swelling, pain, and numbness of his right arm 3 days after a prolonged episode of lifting heavy goods. A Doppler ultrasound showed thrombosis in the right subclavian and axillary veins and laboratory tests found elevated D-dimer. Patient was diagnosed as having axillo-subclavian thrombosis and treated with low molecular-weight heparin. One month after the last follow-up, patient returned to work with modified capacity and after 3 months of return to work, patient was able to resume his regular duties without impairment or disability.ConclusionThe occupation of informal porter should be considered a risk factor for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT), thus the occupational medicine physician should be aware of this condition in the context of manual workers. Detailed occupational history to aid the diagnosis and future risk assessment are needed, and education for preventing UEDVT should be provided to porters.
Mixed germ cell tumour of the testicle: a case report of a patient presenting with acute abdomen
Authors: Shaik Abdul Bari , Shaik Noor Fathima
Published: December 2020

Testicular tumours are a group of heterogenous neoplasms seen commonly in men between the ages of 15 and 35 years. The two main types are seminoma and non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT). Testicular cancers are highly treatable and usually curable, even if they present at an advanced stage of the disease with a five-year survival rate of over 95 percent. The symptoms at initial presentation can vary depending on the metastasis, but a nodule or painless swelling of testicle is usually noted. In this case report we will study how a patient with metastatic testicular tumour presents with symptoms indicative of gastrointestinal infection of acute nature with no associated features. We will review current literature on testicular cancers, reasons for delay in treatment and its impact on patient care.
Parsonage turner syndrome: a common syndrome usually missed
Authors: Pandey Vijay Kumar , Malik Anil , Sharma Dev Jyoti , Pushkar Kumar
Published: December 2020

Background: Parsonage-turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare syndrome that can occur in normal healthy individuals with sudden, rather abrupt, unilateral shoulder pain that may begin rather insidiously but quickly amplifies in severity and intensity. The acute period of pain is subsequently replaced over a course of a few days to weeks with progressive weakness, reflex changes, and sensory abnormalities in varying presentations that typically involve the shoulder girdle musculature and proximal upper limb muscles. There are no definite etiological factors present in causation of this syndrome.Methods: Prospective multicentric cohort study covering period from 2010 to 2020. 10 young male patients were included in the study group, all of them presented with winging of scapula and pain. Initial evaluation was done at neurology department and after failure of conservative treatment of average period of six month they were referred to plastic surgery department. All patients had ENMG findings preoperatively.Results: 10 male patients were studied with average age of 24.8 years. Partial paralysis present for an average of 1 year. Repeated micro trauma was the most common aetiology. Intraoperatively 7 patients had anomalous vascular compression of long thoracic nerve (LTN) and three had compression due to fibrous sheath. All patients had complete recovery at end of one year.Conclusion: Isolated LTN paralysis is a rare condition that is not well known. If conservative management fails, then neurolysis of the distal segment of LTN gives good result if performed within 6-12 months of paralysis.

Background: Pituitary tumours represent about 10% of intracranial tumours. To know about the common clinical presentations and hormone profile of patients with pituitary tumour help in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods: A prospective study was carried out for a duration of 16 months from 1st June 2018 to 30th September 2019, among 93 patients admitted with diagnosis of pituitary tumour in department of neurosurgery in a tertiary care centre. Study involved initial clinical assessment followed by assessment of hormone profile. In the end of the study the most common clinical presentation and the common pituitary hormones that were deranged in those cases were found out. Statistical analysis was done to find out relationship between hormone levels and clinical symptoms.Results: From the study it was found that the most common clinical presentations of pituitary tumour were headache [58 patients (62.4%)] and visual disturbance [53 patients (56.9%)]. Hormone over production was reported in 35 patients (37.6%), of which 25 patients (26.9%) were having high prolactin levels. Most common hormone that showed below normal values in pituitary tumour patients was luteinizing hormone (LH), in 19 patients (19.35%). Study also found out statistically significant association between elevated prolactin levels and headache.Conclusions: In patients with pituitary tumours most common clinical presentations included headache and visual disturbance. Prolactin was the most common hormone which was above normal levels. Most common hormone that was below normal levels were gonadotropins.

Parturient to ASA physical status I-II scheduled for caesarean section were randomly selected for the study and are divided into group of 84 each.

Results: There was significant difference in sensory block duration at T10 (min) and total duration of analgesia (min) in both groups. This difference between two group’s was not significant. Adverse Effects in group RF 5 (5.9%) patients had hypotension and 2 (2.3%) bradycardias in group R 3 (3.5%) patient had hypotension.

Conclusions: Hemodynamic parameters were comparable in both the groups. Total duration of analgesia and sensory block duration at T10 was significantly shorter with ropivacaine (with saline) compared to ropivacaine with fentanyl.
Narrativas y solidaridad de las redes transnacionales de derechos humanos en Argentina
Authors: Scocco Marianela
Published: December 2020

Las redes transnacionales en defensa de los derechos humanos se constituyeron en vehículos clave en la transmisión de la cultura de los derechos humanos para los organismos surgidos en Argentina entre 1974-1979. Proveyeron a los denunciantes nacionales un vocabulario específico para ejercer sus demandas basado en lo que se ha denominado como “narrativa humanitaria”, diferenciándose de la “narrativa revolucionaria” que había signado la defensa de presos políticos en la dictadura anterior (1966-1973). En este artículo analizo, en clave comparativa, esa defensa de presos políticos y de los organismos de derechos humanos posteriores, poniendo atención en el cambio que significó el traslado de una narrativa a otra. Por otro lado, tomando un caso local, examino el hecho de que los organismos de la ciudad de Rosario se vieron privados del acceso a la financiación, información e influencia que la transnacionalización del reclamo y el impacto internacional proveyó a los organismos de la capital del país.
A Comparative Study of Shi’a Public Shari’a Law and Sunni Public Shari’a Law (Administrative Law and Governance in Islam)
Authors: Sorayaii Azar Hossein
Published: December 2020

Public law notions seen from shari’a law perspective have not been duly discussed in Islamic countries. In the discourse of rule of law in Islam we are confronted with a dilemma , moral values of a   religion are not compatible with the coercive legislative measures . Thus the authentic application of shari’a rules is feasible only if a scientific hermeneutic of shari’a law is adapted to the exigencies of today’s modern life, while the outlook on the boundaries of hermeneutic remains obscure. Regarding the  public finance in Islam and State owned banking system, in many Islamic countries both Shi’a concept banks and Sunni concept banks, while prohibiting usury have worked out a well established shari’a law compliant loan system in favor of the customers. Also economic democracy from shari’a law point of view finds its way through other means provided in shari’a rules (Shi’a or Sunni). The notion of an Islamic administrative law is rather misperceived. The actual polemic on governance and administrative law in Islam is considered as being an outcome of the conflict between shari’a based concepts and notions asserted by faquihs and jurists and the legal practices and usages of Islamic States since the expansion of Islamic territories (700 AD).

Authors:   Saratov State University, Tarasova Irina A.
Published: December 2020

The mechanism of the reader’s interpretation of the text based on key words is described on the example of the story by V. Dragunsky A red balloon in the blue sky. The hermeneutic function of key words renders it possible to consider them a tool of the cognitive poetics of perception.
