Correlation between Static Balance and Core Endurance among College Student with Forward Head Posture
Authors: P.V Abhilash , S Priya , Kheriwala Mustafa K
Published: August 2021

Background: Proper posture is considered to be a state of musculoskeletal balance that involves a minimal amount of stress or strain to the body. When the head is held forward in relation to the trunk, the alignment is said to be poor and is referred as, ‘forward head posture’ (FHP). If abnormal posture persists for a long time, it compromises balance because of muscular imbalance which can cause loss of proprioception sense in joint and decreased balance, and trunk endurance is significantly reduced in FHP and may lead to poor muscular control of the spine.
Purpose:
To find the correlation between the core muscle endurance and balance among college student with forward head posture.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. 25 healthy college student individuals within the age group of 18-30 years having forward head posture were taken. FHP was assessed by craniovertebral angle. Trunk endurance was measured by McGill core endurance test and static balance was assessed by standing stork test.
Results: Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient test was used to find the correlation between Trunk muscle endurance and static balance. Strong positive correlation was found which was statistically significant between trunk flexor endurance, trunk extensor endurance, right lateral endurance, left lateral endurance, and static balance.
Conclusion: Among college students with FHP decreased core endurance can affect the static balance.

Keywords: forward head posture, core endurance, static balance.

Конституционными принципами механизма реализации национальных интересов выступают приоритет прав и свобод человека и гражданина; народовластие; федерализм; разделение властей; законность: в качестве специальных – принципы системности и комплексности применения федеральными органами государственной власти, органами государственной власти субъектов Российской Федерации, другими государственными органами, органами местного самоуправления политических, организационных, социально- экономических, информационных, правовых и иных мер обеспечения безопасности.
Новое правовое регулирование института конституционной жалобы в Российской Федерации: тенденции и проблемы
Authors: Брежнев Олег Викторович
Published: August 2021

На основе анализа широкого круга источников представлена авторская позиция относительно тенденций, связанных с совершенствованием законодательного регулирования института конституционной жалобы в РФ. Автором выстраивается логическая цепь рассуждений, включающая в себя характеристику произошедших изменений регламентации исследуемого института, определение соответствующих позитивных и негативных следствий таких изменений на основе диалектической методологии. Сделаны выводы о последовательной реализации законодателем подхода к конституционной жалобе как особому, экстраординарному средству защиты прав и свобод граждан, который реализуется субсидиарно: лишь тогда, когда иные способы защиты (в т. ч. судебной) не привели к восстановлению нарушенных прав. Одновременно обосновывается точка зрения о том, что правовые позиции Конституционного Суда РФ, касающиеся интерпретации отдельных элементов института конституционной жалобы, выраженные в его решениях, также служат своеобразным ориентиром для законодателя при разработке новых норм в исследуемой области.
Правовая аксиология русского консерватизма XIX века: потенциал влияния на современную правовую идеологию
Authors: Кузубова Ангелина Юрьевна
Published: August 2021

Авторы обратились к изучению юридической природы современной правовой идеологии в контексте ее соответствия традиционным правовым ценностям отечественной культуры. Несмотря на всю важность, потенциал влияния правовых ценностей русского консерватизма на современную правовую идеологию остается мало изученным. Анализируя соотношение категорий «правовая идеология» и «позитивное право», авторы отмечают вариантность их сочетаний: в истории права преобладают факты противостояний правовых идеологий и систем позитивного права. Подчеркивается, что конфликт ценностей, ценностный вакуум могут повлечь гораздо более разрушительные последствия, нежели принятие официальной правовой идеологии, перспективы провозглашения которой порождают многочисленные споры. В результате исследования сделан вывод о необходимости институциональной комплементарности системы позитивного права и правовой идеологии, воплощающей традиционные правовые ценности.

Published: August 2021

Представлена авторская позиция по проблематике современных представлений о качествах процесса глобализации и соответствующей правовой ипостаси. Принимая во внимание как общие характеристики глобализации, так и те, которые обусловлены современным ее периодом и правовым измерением, авторами рассмотрена сущность глобализации с учетом теории пределов, конфликтологии; определена органика взаимодействия в закольцованной глобализационно- правовой системе, а также диалектики глобализации, выражающейся в единстве и борьбе противоположных тенденций и сил. Сделаны выводы о положительных и отрицательных следствиях глобализационных процессов, а также о роли фундаментальных юридических знаний и представлений в охране и защите интересов современной государственности. В заключение авторами оформлено представление об угрозах телеологической коррупции при формировании концептуальных начал государственно-правового развития современного государства в условиях глобализации и сопутствующих процессов, требующих аналитико-синтезной оценки.
Возвращение политического в stasis, или Еще раз о «голой жизни»
Authors: Лыков Эдуард Николаевич , Борисовский Андрей Владимирович
Published: August 2021

Исследование известного итальянского философа Дж. Агамбена «Stasis. Гражданская война как политическая парадигма. Homo sacer, II, 2» продолжает серию его работ о Homo sacer. В ней рассмотрена проблема гражданской войны как феномена, отличающегося сложным пограничным характером относительно двух основополагающих категорий античной и западной культуры, семьи и полиса. Дж. Агамбен представляет Stasis не только как то, что расположено между частной сферой семьи и публичной сферой города, но так же как то, что парадоксальным образом противопоставляет эти сферы. Гражданская война функционирует как вытесненное или предназначенное к забвению основание политического, что позволяет его соотнести с основной категорией Дж. Агамбена homo sacer и выйти на критическое осмысление фундаментальных проблем современности, среди которых одной из главных является проблема терроризма.

Dimitrie Cantemir was considered one of the most cultivated men of his time (i.e. the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries), and he spoke and wrote in several languages. This article examines the translation solutions proposed by Cantemir in his Descriptio Moldaviae (1716) for rendering into Latin the titles of Moldavian rulers of the seventeenth century, as well as his explanatory notes (often etymological) provided to offer a better understanding of medieval Moldovan realities to the West European public.
QUELLES FRANCOPHONIES EN EUROPE CENTRALE? LA ROUMANIE ENTRE LITTÉRATUREMONDE ET LITTÉRATURE MONDIALE
Authors:   Université de Berne, corinne.fournier@rom.unibe.ch, FOURNIER KISS Corinne
Published: August 2021

Unlike other national movements in Central Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, the Romanian national awakening was unique in being as francophile as it was romanianophile. Parallel to the revived emphasis upon the vernacular language and the exhumation of Romanian customs and folklore, French language and culture penetrated widely into the Romanian-speaking regions and were even encouraged. The examination of this paradox opens up considerations that are at once scientific (French as a Romance language being a model for the re-Latinization of Romanian), emotional (admiration and affinity towards a sister nation), and identity-related (belief in the existence of common elements of identity). It also allows us to better understand the fact that, for two centuries now, Romania has had a tenacious tradition of writing in French, which can in no way be understood solely or even primarily as a “migration literature in French”.
MARIA BOUCHER MOVILA’S WRITING: GENDER AND AUTHORSHIP
Authors:   Professor, PhD. at Dimitrie Cantemir Christian University, ramona.mihaila@ucdc.ro, MIHĂILĂ Ramona
Published: August 2021

The true identity of the author of the novel Omul muntelui (The Man of the Mountain) (1858), signed by the pseudonym Doamna L. (Lady L.), is unlikely to be known with certainty. In the 1960s, serious research was carried out on this question, which posited three potential authors of this work: C.A. Rosetti, Maria Boucher Movilă or V.A. Urechia. Following clues suggesting authorship by Movilă, many now believe that she was the first woman to have written a novel in the Romanian language. In 2013, the novel Omul muntelui (The Man of the Mountain), as well as the short story Amelie Ştefănescu (signed Doamna Maria L, and therefore probably written by the same person) were republished by the Museum of Romanian Literature, in Cyrillic writing (in which the original version was published), but in a Romanian version modernized under the supervision of Ramona Mihăilă.
ÉLENA. PHANARIOTES ET ROUMAINS, LE MOTIF DE LA LETTRE DANS LE PREMIER ROMAN FRANCOPHONE
Authors:   Enseignante de français au Collège national “Şcoala Centrală” et chargée de cours à l’Université de Bucarest., DODU Alexandra
Published: August 2021

Women’s Literature is a field still insufficiently explored in the Romanian cultural space. The honor of having written the first feminine francophone Romanian novel belongs to Constance de Dunka for her book Éléna. Phanariotes and Romanians (1862). The novel, acclaimed in France at the time of its publication, was nevertheless considered by the Romanians to be a minor work (Dunka was even accused of plagiarism). The structure of this novel, which is built upon discoveries, falsifications and thefts of letters, is analyzed here on the basis of the conceptual categories proposed by Jacques Merceron in his book Le message et sa fiction - namely, on the basis of the categories of “the false letter,” “the lying letter” and “the substitute letter.”

Published: August 2021

This text recalls memories from the years I spent working in Paris for a publishing house, les Éditions de l’Herne, in a position which gave me the opportunity and the privilege to meet Cioran. He had chosen to publish there the translation of the works he wrote in his native tongue, in his early years, before he left to come and settle in France. At that time, the bookshop located on Rue de Verneuil was a beehive, the place where artists and writers from the Romanian diaspora would come and share. Topics were discussed in a Franco-Romanian idiom with an enthusiasm fuelled by the very events taking place at that same time in Bucharest when communism collapsed and Ceausescu was removed.

Published: August 2021

Due to the themes and issues dealt with in his writing, Ilie Constantin is a writer whom French literary critics praised. At the same time, he is also one of the essential figures of the Romanian literature of exile. The theme of exile runs like a thread through Constantin’s writings in French: it is both a source of inspiration and a cause of boredom and despair. It haunts in particular the collection Le lettré barbare, whose poems “Rescued from waiting” (“Délivré de l’attente”), “When there are no more voices” (“Quand il n’est plus de voix”) or “The Poets of exile” (“Les Poètes de l’exil”) are the most illustrative.
SPLEEN CONTEMPORAIN ET MAL DE VIVRE EN MILIEU URBAIN DANS (INTERVALLE OUVERT) D’IRINA-ROXANA GEORGESCU
Authors:   Bouchra Benbella, Université Moulay Ismaïl, Meknès, b.benbella012@gmail.com, BENBELLA Bouchra
Published: August 2021

(Intervalle ouvert) is a collection of poetry of a paradoxical significance and an unusual metric both disconcerting and original. IrinaRoxana Georgescu puts into words the evils of a splenetic soul, a distinctive feature of the urban mentality of modern times. Presented in the form of an interior monologue, her poetry is a cry from a cloistered and melancholic feminine self, but dreaming of a journey likely to remove it from a life “of sand”, from a gloomy reality that constantly crushes its “white and soft bones”.

Published: August 2021

In addition to those Romanian writers who succeeded in gaining recognition both in a foreign country and in their country of birth, many others have unfairly remained unknown to the Romanian readers. Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston is a writer, translator and editor of two early Romanian texts of the philosophical essayist E. M. Cioran, On the Heights of Despair and Tears and Saints, and a professor in the Department of Comparative Literature at Indiana University, Bloomington. She is the younger daughter of the Romanian writer Dinu Zarifopol, who himself did not receive popular or critical recognition for his work in Romania. The current article, which provides some general information about Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston’s life and academic work, is an attempt to arouse the reader’s interest in this Romanian author’s literary works, especially in her book entitled Searching for Cioran.

Published: August 2021

Arising from its geographical position in relation to the Western countries and the multicultural specificity of this space, Transylvania was, due to the ethnic groups of Romanians, Germans, Hungarians, and other nationalities who lived there, a promoter of both Western influences and local cultural values. The print media was the means for these nationalities to preserve their language, traditions, customs and culture. Thus, in 1920, Romanian, German and Hungarian intellectuals opened new cultural horizons, managing to overcome traditional ethnic barriers. Through their publications, they expressed respect for plurality and ethnocultural diversity, religious tolerance, and asserted at the same time their own cultural and national identity. This study intends to survey the ethnic German literature at the beginning of the twentieth century that has also been partially translated into Romanian

The COVID 19 pandemic is one of the worst pandemics that struck the world, after the Spanish flu in 1918 and stalled the entire public health care system. Initially in the absence of definite drugs, the primary mitigation priority was prevention. Its web like spread put pressure on the accessory health care systems too and the most affected were perhaps the Pharmacy. In India the pharmacy are an integral part of health services, with desperate demand for an array of supplies and drugs, affecting the Pharmacies and their functioning tremendously, they too have contributed immensely in the mitigation strategies of the government. The study assesses the pharmacies in terms of their preparedness to cope with the demands and enhancement of role of the pharmacists to provide cost effective and consumer friendly services.Online services were good and satisfactory and were offered by only the big scale pharmacy (67%) ;Pharmacists from small scale set ups were yet to be vaccinated (33.3%), preparedness was optimum in terms masks and sanitization of premises, but IEC materials were missing in the small shops(44.4%); supplies were good and surplus but small scale ones sometimes sold the cost effective one’s; adjuvant drugs were in excess but drugs for moderate to severe form of COVID were limited to facility based pharmacyonly. Non COVID medications,in order to prioritize COVID drugs,went missing.Stock charts were displayed by big and middle level shops. Study suggests the pharmacy role in managing a pandemic is upnteem and periodic checks and regulations should be revised as per needs of the time.
Mecanismos de la respuesta inmune innata... la primera línea de defensa
Authors: Gómez-Bustamante Ángeles Esmeralda , Morales-López Hermes Jared , Torres-Aguilar Honorio
Published: August 2021

The twentieth century literature referred to the innate immune response as “unspecific”. Nevertheless, since the 1980s, the set of receptors that this kind of immune response cells –considered as the first line of defense– employ to directly recognize conserved molecules within a class of microbes, has been gradually described. This trait has turned the innate immune response highly specific when it comes to the recognition of microorganisms, but without reaching the high precision level of the adaptive immune response. This chapter describes the surveillance and prevention strategies, as well as the cellular and humoral mechanisms that the immune system immediately triggers against the first attempted aggression of an invading agent.

A total of 18,402 pregnant women of age 20-45 years were attended, out of which 195 had leiomyoma and they were asked to take part in study. Data regarding demographic characteristics including complications during pregnancy, and indications of caesarean section was collected via study proforma. Results: Total 186 out of 195 females were studied, their mean age was 31.23+3.12 years, average gestational age was 33.12+3.15 weeks and average size of Leiomyoma was 3.12+2.15cm. The most common complications were PPH among 28.49% of cases, blood transfusion was required in 39.25% of the cases, miscarriage occurred in 6.45% of the cases, cord prolapse was seen in 24.3% cases, placental abruption in 5.91% cases, placenta previa in 11.32% cases and retained placenta was observed among 1.61% of the cases. Preterm labour occurred in 5.38% of the cases and IUGR was seen in 10.22% of the cases. Out of all cases, 10 females underwent preterm delivery, while 12 underwent fetus delivery before 24 weeks (miscarriage). Among all term pregnancies, 78.66% underwent C-Section due to failure in progress, cord prolapsed, fibroid in lower segment, breech presentation and low-lying placenta. Conclusion: Fibroid complicates pregnancy itself and also the outcome. Rural area dwelling women are at more risk, which include increase in caesarean section and a multifold increased risk of PPH and associated hysterectomy in these cases.

Intravenous extravasation is a significant problem and one of the most commonly seen morbidity in infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Nurses play a key role in preventing extravasation injuries. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a training program about extravasation injuries on knowledge and practice of neonatal nurses. One-group pre-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A convenient sample of 45 nurses was recruited from two different NICUs at Kafrelsheikh General Hospital Governorate and Health Insurance Hospital (El Ebour Hospital) at Kafrelsheikh city. Tools: Structured questionnaire interview and observational checklist were used. Results revealed that minority of nurses had satisfactory level of knowledge and performance in pre-program compared to all nurses in post- program. A significant differences for nurses total mean knowledge and performance scores between pre and posttest (P =0.00) was evident. In conclusion, knowledge and performance of nurses were significantly increased after receiving the training program suggesting its effectiveness. The study recommended that nurses who working in NICUs especially newly hired should be equipped with updated information about extravasation injuries through continuous educational programs. As well, an emphasis should be done regarding their practices and periodic checkup for their knowledge. Keywords: Preterm, NICU, Extravasation injuries, Nurses’ performance, Training program

Introduction: Dexmedetomidine is a drug used widely in recent years to reduce complications during and after surgery, but there is a disagreement about the optimal dose of this drug. The aim of present study was to compare the effects of infusion of two doses of 0.3 and 0.6 μg / kg dexmedetomidine during surgery on changes in hemodynamic parameters and pain in patients undergoing spinal surgery under general anesthesia. Methods: In a clinical trial study, 81 patients, who were candidates for spinal surgery, were randomly assigned to three groups (27 patients in each group). The first group received 0.3 μg / kg dexmedetomidine and the second group received 0.6 μg / kg dexmedetomidine intravenously and the third group (control) received normal saline. Hemodynamic parameters during surgery and recovery and postoperative stage complications such as pain severity and the first time of receiving opioids were evaluated and compared in three groups. Results: Patients who received 0.6 μg / kg dexmedetomidine had lower blood pressure, lower heart rate and lower oxygen saturation during surgery. Also, the severity of postoperative pain was lower in this group. However, the first time of receiving opioid, received drug, length of stay in recovery and extubation time were not significantly different among the three groups. Conclusion: The use of 6 μg / kg dexmedetomidine intravenously is associated with reduced postoperative pain and appropriate hemodynamic stability during surgery. Therefore, it seems that this dose of drug to be effective in preventing acute postoperative pain. Keywords: Postoperative pain, Hemodynamics, Dexmedetomidine

[Purpose] Although lifting tasks has been recognized as a primary risk factor in low back pain, the concept of lifting asymmetry is relatively new subject. To address trunk function, biomechanical studies generally measure trunk muscle activity using surface electromyography (EMG). But so far, magnitude and similarity index (SI) obtained from EMG have not been studied as indicators of the motor control during lifting task. So, the purpose of this study is to compare the trunk muscles magnitude and SI during symmetric and asymmetric lifting. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 20 healthy male with no history of lumbar spine disorders participated. Surface electromyography data were recorded from the 7 trunk muscles while the participants performed symmetric and asymmetric lifting and lowering different loads. [Results] According to Multivariate ANOVAs the phase of motion (lifting, lowering) and condition (symmetry, asymmetry) have a significant effect on SI and magnitude (p≤0.05). Load changes have no effect on SI (p=0.969) but have a significant effect on magnitude (p≤0.05). The magnitude and SI value is higher in asymmetrical lifting and lowering compare to symmetrical condition. [Conclusion] The findings reveal the SI value is higher in asymmetric conditions. This means that the amount of muscles co-contracture increased during asymmetrical conditions. Increased muscles co-contracture reinforces the hypothesis of exerting more compression on the spine in asymmetrical movement. Keywords: Asymmetrical lifting, Motor control, Electromyography

Aim: This is a Quasi-experimental study wich was carried out in order to determine the effects of applying progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue and daily living activity of MS patients. Background: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and adversely affects their daily living activities. Methods: 80 MS Patients were selected then conducted in two group (40 experiments and 40 contorol). Data collector tools included: demographic questionnaire, fatigue severity scale and activity of daily living questionnaire which completed four times by two group (before̦ Third week, sixth and ninth after study), self-report checklists which completed only by experimental group. PMRT performed once a day for 8 week by experimental group. During study no intervention was done for control group. Results: repeated measures ANOVA showed that there is significant difference in mean score of fatigue between two group in 4 times (P<0/05). Also, the results showed that with progressive muscle relaxation at 4 times, daily activities in ADL and IADL sections were significantly increased (P<0/05) but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0/05). however, clinically significant differences were observed. Conclusions: Acording to these findingș applying PMRT decreased patient´s fatigue and improve independence in daily living activities. This study supports the effect of PMRT on fatigue and activities of daily living in patients with MS, and it is recommended that further studies be conducted on this subject in the future. Keywords: daily living activity, fatigue, progressive muscle relaxation technique, multiple sclerosis.

Introduction and Purpose: The importance of pain control in patients with limb trauma in the emergency department and its complications is the main issue in post-emergency care and plays an important role in accelerating the improvement of patients' general status. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the analgesic and sedative effects of ketamine infusion against intravenous morphine in relieving fracture pain of long or short bones in the upper and lower limbs. Materials and Methods: We examined the effect of ketamine and morphine as ketamine infusion at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg/IV/10min and intravenous morphine at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg/IV in patients aged 18-65 years with limb trauma who visited the hospital emergency department. We also compared the duration of analgesia, the amount of pain relief according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in each of the drugs and complications of the above methods, including apnea, bradycardia, tachycardia, decreased level of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, hypertension and hypotension, seizures, and disturbed sleep, and mentioned the preferred method. Results: In the study, we studied 120 patients, 60 of whom received ketamine and 60 received morphine. The mean age of patients was 13.02±13.67 years with a minimum age of 19 years and a maximum age of 70 years, and 89(74.2%) patients were male. There was not any difference between ketamine and morphine in the factors at different times. Conclusion: The results indicated that the potency of low-dose ketamine in relieving pain in patients was very similar to morphine. Keywords: Bone fracture; Ketamine; Morphine.
