Fístula enterocutánea sigmoidea umbilical como una rara complicación de una diverticulitis del colon sigmoide
Authors: Brito Sosa Germán , Iraizoz Barrios Ana María
Published: June 2022

La atención de los pacientes con fístula enterocutánea constituye un gran reto, por las alteraciones con las que suelen acompañarse. Para lograr un tratamiento exitoso es necesario realizar un adecuado manejo de los líquidos y electrolitos, brindar un apoyo nutricional eficaz y controlar la sepsis hasta lograr su erradicación; de esta manera, muchas fístulas cierran espontáneamente. Se expone el caso de un paciente de 36 años de edad, con un cuadro de secreción umbilical de aspecto fecaloideo de 4 meses de evolución. Al realizar la fistulografía se constató un trayecto fistuloso de 9 cm, el cual terminaba a nivel del colon sigmoide, localización poco frecuente. En los casos en que la fístula enterocutánea no cierre y tenga indicación de tratamiento quirúrgico, es necesario extremar los cuidados perioperatorios, minimizar el tiempo quirúrgico, elegir la técnica quirúrgica correcta y preparar al paciente para la cirugía, de modo que se eviten complicaciones que pueden tener un desenlace fatal.

Published: June 2022

Introducción: el hepatocarcinoma (HCC) es el tumor hepático primario maligno más frecuente en el mundo: en 2018 ocupó la sexta posición y representó la cuarta causa de muerte por cáncer; la supervivencia global a 5 años es del 18 %. La mayoría de los casos de HCC se desarrolla en pacientes con cirrosis de cualquier etiología, especialmente por virus de la hepatitis B y C, alcohol y, recientemente, por la esteatohepatitis no alcohólica (NASH).

Objetivo: analizar las características clínicas, métodos de diagnóstico, tratamientos, variables pronósticas y supervivencia.

Metodología: estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes con diagnóstico de cirrosis atendidos entre enero de 2011 y diciembre de 2020 en un centro de atención médica de Bogotá, con diagnóstico de HCC confirmado radiológicamente o por biopsia. La información se analizó de forma descriptiva con medidas de frecuencia absoluta en el caso de las variables categóricas; para las variables continuas se resumió la información con medidas de tendencia central (media o medianas) y su respectiva medida de dispersión.

Resultados: se incluyeron 152 pacientes diagnosticados con HCC, con edad promedio de 69,4 años, 51,3 % eran hombres. La principal causa de HCC fue el hígado graso no alcohólico (NAFLD), que representó casi una tercera parte de los casos (32 %); otras causas fueron el alcohol (15 %) y el virus de la hepatitis C (14 %). La mediana de presentación del tumor fue de 2 nódulos con un tamaño cercano a 4 cm. El 35 % de los pacientes tenía un estadio BCLC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer) con opciones curativas y el 25 % de los pacientes recibió opciones curativas de tratamiento. La terapia sistémica de primera línea utilizada en esta cohorte fue el sorafenib®, que se utilizó en 35 pacientes (33,7 %). Las curvas de supervivencia mostraron que las mujeres, el estadio Child-Pugh A y el estadio BCLC 0 presentaron mayores medianas de supervivencia. El análisis multivariado evidenció un mayor riesgo de muerte al ser hombre (Hazard ratio [HR]: 2,16; intervalo de confianza [IC]: 1,24 a 3,76), estar en los estadios Child-Pugh B (HR: 2,14; IC: 1,16 a 3,95) y Child-Pugh C (HR: 7,52; IC: 2,88 a 19,57).

Conclusiones: el NAFLD es la principal causa de HCC en la presente cohorte, una tercera parte de los pacientes se diagnostica en estadios BCLC tempranos con opción curativa de tratamiento, y un 25 % se trata con terapias curativas. El sorafenib fue la terapia de primera línea en HCC avanzado. La supervivencia global luego del diagnóstico de HCC sigue siendo baja, y es necesario aunar esfuerzos en el seguimiento de los pacientes con cirrosis para mejorar estos resultados.

Objetivo: localización y caracterización endoscópica e histológica de los adenomas colorrectales en una cohorte de pacientes sometidos a colonoscopia en Medellín, Colombia.

Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años sometidos a colonoscopia entre febrero y julio de 2020 en un centro especializado de Medellín, Colombia. Se determinó la incidencia de adenomas, su localización en los diferentes segmentos del colon, sus características endoscópicas e histológicas, así como también los casos de cáncer colorrectal (CCR) y displasia de alto grado.

Resultados: se realizaron 992 colonoscopias y se encontraron pólipos colorrectales en 266 pacientes, de los cuales 208 tenían adenomas. En total se resecaron 461 pólipos, de los cuales 336 fueron adenomas (72 %). El tipo histológico con mayor representación fue el tubular (78 %). La localización de adenomas fue del 37 % en el colon derecho, 25 % en el transverso y 38 % en el colon izquierdo. La cantidad de casos de CCR fue de 9 por 1000 pacientes, que incluyen carcinoma avanzado y carcinoma in situ (DAG).

Conclusiones: dada la incidencia de adenomas en el colon derecho y transverso, no se recomienda la rectosigmoidoscopia como estudio de tamizaje para CCR. En la población estudiada fueron predominantes los adenomas tubulares, de aspecto sésil y tamaño diminuto. Se recomienda el tamizaje en la población mayor de 40 años y la búsqueda de lesiones precursoras como estrategias para disminuir las tasas de morbimortalidad por CCR.

Authors: Debancho Tadese , Gebeyehu Eyasu , Gelgelu Temesgen
Published: June 2022

Abstract Background. Still now, COVID-19 is a public health concern in
both developed and developing countries. Risk perception has been
studied in different countries with different population groups.
However, there have been few studies conducted risk perception on
elderly people and there is no study on elderly people’ in Ethiopia
including this study area.This study aimed to assess coronavirus disease
low risk perception level and associated factors among the elderly.
Methods. To carry out this study among elders in Areka town from 01
August 2021 to 30 August 2021, a community-based cross-sectional study
was used. Multi-stage sampling method was applied to select study
participants. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire
with the mobile application of Open Data Kit mobile(ODK). Results. This
study showed that individuals with age range of 65 to 74 [AOR= 4.76,
95% CI (2.35-9.64)], poor practice on preventing coronavirus disease
[AOR= 2.39, 95% CI (1.51-3.78), low trust level in medical
professionals [AOR=2.44, 95%CI (1.45-4.10)], no history of
coronavirus disease [AOR=6.45, 95%CI (2.02-20.58)], poor perceived
self-efficacy for preventive practice [AOR=2.25, 95% CI
(1.43-3.54)] were identified as associated factors of low risk
perception. Conclusions. In the current study area, the perception of
risk of coronavirus disease was affected by age, perceived
self-efficacy, trust in medical professionals, preventive practice, and
history of coronavirus disease. Including Ethiopia, the findings of this
study would help for developing countries to generate evidence-based
policy decisions for elderly people during COVI-D-19 pandemic and future

Authors: Guerrero-del-Cueto Fuensanta , Fernandez J. M. Ramos , Leiva-Gea Isabel , Reina-Moreno Elena , Ortiz-Ortigosa Ana , Carazo-Gallego Begoña , Cordon Ana , Núñez-Cuadros Esmeralda
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is the main cause of
hospitalization in children under two years of age, with a regular
winter seasonality, mostly due to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of bronchiolitis
hospitalizations in our centre in the last twelve years, and analyse the
changes in clinical characteristics, microbiology, and adverse outcomes
during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Methods: Ambispective
observational study including patients admitted for bronchiolitis
between April 2010 and December 2021 in a Spanish tertiary paediatric
hospital. Relevant demographic, clinical, microbiological, and adverse
outcome variables were collected in an anonymized database. The pandemic
period (April 2020 to December 2021) was compared to 2010-2015 seasons
using appropriate statistical tests. Results: There were 2138
bronchiolitis admissions, with a mean of 195.6 per year between
2010-2019 and a 2–4-month peak between November and March. In the
winter of 2020, there was a 94.4% reduction of bronchiolitis
hospitalizations, with only eleven cases admitted in the first year of
the pandemic. Bronchiolitis cases increased during the summer of 2021 in
a six-month long peak, reaching a total of 171 cases. Length of stay was
significantly shorter during the pandemic, but no differences were found
in clinical and microbiological characteristics or other adverse
outcomes. Conclusions: The SARS-CoV2 pandemic has modified the
seasonality of bronchiolitis hospitalizations, with a dramatic decrease
in cases during the winter of 2020-2021, and an extemporaneous
summer-autumn peak in 2021 with longer duration but similar patient
characteristics.
The birth of the Sava Suture Zone: The early geological observations and the context of bimodal magmatism (southern Belgrade outskirts; Andjelkovic, 1973)
Authors: Spahic Darko
Published: June 2022

This paper presents one of the significant results of the research of Prof. Dr. Milodrag Andjelkovic. The study underlines the first field record providing the evidence of the Upper Cretaceous bimodal magmatism that eventually led towards the definition of the Late Cretaceous ?Sava?Vardar Zone? in 2002 (Pamic, 2002). Currently, the 20-years old ?Sava?Vardar Zone? i.e., the Sava Suture Zone regarded as a crustal assembly formerly intervening the amalgamated Adria and south Eurasian affinities. The pioneering field mapping- based observations contributing the debuted Sava Suture Zone, are in the underestimated report of Prof. Dr. Milodrag Andjelkovic, presenting his observations of the typifying Late Cretaceous bimodal magmatism (published in 1973 in the regional XIX-century established journal ?Annales geologiques de la peninsule Balkanique?; Title: ?Geologija mezozoika okoline Beograda?, translated: The geology of Mesozoic assembly: vicinity of the Belgrade area). in that time, during early 1970?s, the entire geoscience community of former Yugoslavia for a long time denying any Late Cretaceous magmatism within the Vardar Zone, offering a counterargument grounded onto the geosyncline tectonic framework. The 1973 paper was published much prior the constraints on the Late Cretaceous bimodal magmatic intrusions, discussed as the ?Peri Adriatic Sava magmatic arc? or Peri Adriatic Lineament, but only three decades later. The Andjelkovic?s 1973 report represents the first published record, interpreting a number of the Late Cretaceous bimodal magmatic mini-occurrences distributed in the modern-day Sava Suture Zone belt. Despite using the previous tectonic model, the often-neglected descriptions of the Jurassic?Late Cretaceous biostratigraphy and their spatial relationship with the confined magmatic entities, allow the important correlation of a number of Late Cretaceous smallscale basins, positioned to the northwest (Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia), and to the south of Belgrade (Central Serbia, North Macedonia). The understanding of this suture zone, bending in the vicinity of Belgrade, is of primary importance, providing the characterization of the terminal Alpine collisional mechanism in the area.
Churug fashion 1907-1937 or a report of a museum insider
Authors: Radisavljevic Katarina
Published: June 2022

The paper starts from the critique of the opinion that has developed in the 21st century within the framework of Serbian ethnological / anthropological science, and is related to the study and interpretation of traditional clothing of the rural population. Namely, the work of ethnologists / curators is criticized as the romantic relics in Serbian museology, who is consisted of the endless description of clothing and decorations on them. This paper has intention to point out some different ways of thinking on the Collections of traditional clothing in Serbia. The openness of anthropology to other humanities can help us find new ways to interpret the artefacts of the past. In terms of the use of other approaches, we primarily mean the theory of fashion, gender studies, cultural history, but also some of the anthropological approaches to clothing that are less used in our country, such as the theory of cultural authentication. Also, in the paper has been pointed out on the terminolgy distinction between traditional clothes / folk costume / folk dress and fashion clothes which has existed in the anthropology of clothing for a long time, and refers to diferent lines of identity and function wearer of clothes. This terminological distinction is very important in the initial interpretation of artefacts that can be found in clothing collections today. In the second part of the paper author applies the theoretical concept named The Dress detective, by Mida and Kim, on an apron from the Collection of Folk Costumes and Clothing of the Museum of Vojvodina. Analysis of the apron from village Curug brought the author to the new concept of scientific approach to the museum objects, especially those made of textile.
The undead new world: Zombie epidemics’ apocalyptic surroundings and social relations
Authors: Mandic Marina
Published: June 2022

The narratives of zombie films articulate social relations in the context of an apocalyic social environment, indicating unstoppable processes of disease spreading through the omnipresence of zombies as the primary infection carriers, emphasizing discourses of biological catastrophe, that is, epidemics of infectious diseases as a potential means of the end of a modern civilization. As portrayed in movies about zombies, epidemics could be observed as a type of imagined future of the virus, that is, as an advanced stage in infectious disease evolution, which leads to the deconstruction and complete collapse of the existing social system, and then to apocalyptic consequences and the forming of a new social order. An epidemic creates conditions in which previously known institutional organization ceases to exist and shapes individual behaviors that transform social environments to meet the demands of new social and biological discourses. Due to such circumstances, social surroundings are significantly changed, and disease establishes itself as a signifier of social strategies, relationships towards the infected, and the area for the redistribution of social power and livelihood. The aim of this paper is to reveal the ways of social reorganization and social disruption caused by the zombie epidemic, emphasizing the role of the disease in reshaping social groups and relationships, with the purpose of analyzing the ways in which movie narratives metaphorize the efficiency of infectious diseases.
The lexeme buke (’bread’) observed through the prism of Albanian phraseology and culture (with reference to Serbian)
Authors: Mutavdzic Predrag , Krijezi Merima
Published: June 2022

The paper gives a somewhat limited overview of the importance of the lexeme
buke (?bread?) in Albanian culture from the aspect of linguoculturology and
phraseology. The contrastive study is carried out from Albanian to Serbian
and is based on the recorded phraseologisms and paroemias from relevant
general and phraseological monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. The
mentioned lexeme is observed as primary, although in both languages native
speakers use a number of other secondary lexemes to designate a variety of
sorts and shapes of bread. Idiotypical phraseological units demonstrate that
the lexeme buke takes a special place and plays an important role in
developing and nurturing social and interpersonal relations. At the same
time, a series of identical or rather similar homotypical phraseologisms are
identified in Serbian, which speaks in favour of the existence of relatively
concordant ways of thinking, evaluating, and understanding the significance
and role of bread in human society.

Previous surgery for instability is a risk factor for a worse patient-reported outcome after anatomical shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis: a Danish nationwide cohort study of 3,743 arthroplasties
Authors: Rasmussen Jeppe V , Olsen Bo S
Published: June 2022

Background and purpose: Although most patients have good outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, certain risk factors may lead to disappointing outcomes. We assessed risk factors for a worse outcome after anatomical shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Our hypothesis was that previous surgery for instability would be a risk factor for a worse outcome independent of age, sex, and arthroplasty type.Patients and methods: We included arthroplasties reported to the Danish Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry between 2006 and 2018 (n = 3,743). The Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) index at 1 year was used as outcome. The total score was converted to a percentage of a maximum score. The general linear model was used to analyze differences in WOOS. Age, sex, arthroplasty type, and previous surgery were included in the multivariate model. Estimates were given with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The mean WOOS score was 78 for patients with no previous surgery and 55 for patients with surgery for instability. The mean difference was –16 (CI –10 to –22) in the multivariate model. Hemiarthroplasty had a worse outcome compared with total shoulder arthroplasty and young patients had a worse outcome compared with older patients. The mean differences in the multivariate model were –12 (CI –10 to –14) and –11 (CI –8 to –14) respectively.Interpretation: Patients with previous surgery for instability had worse results independent of age, sex, and arthroplasty type and should be informed about their individual risk of a worse outcome.

A new pathological perspective on thrombotic microangiopathy
Authors: Kim Yong-Jin
Published: June 2022

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) refers to a condition caused by microvascular injury that includes thrombosis, hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. There are two classic TMAs, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, as well as an atypical HUS (aHUS). aHUS includes a broad spectrum of disorders with diverse etiologies and shares clinical manifestations with classic TMA; however, it frequently lacks typical clinical and laboratory findings. These traits can confuse clinicians and pathologists in terms of renal pathologic diagnosis, especially in cases where TMA is associated with other glomerulopathies or hypertensive renal disease. In this review, new paradigms for classifying TMA and the diversity of histopathologic changes including associated renal diseases are discussed. Renal biopsy is an important and useful diagnostic tool for diagnosing TMA and identifying TMA changes in other renal diseases, including hypertension. Adopting the term “TMA features” for TMA-like changes in glomerulus or artery/ arteriole in addition to the pathological diagnosis of glomerulopathy would be informative to clinicians for a prompt diagnosis and treatment of aHUS.
The Role of Curriculum Objectives and Evaluation in Development of Instructional Efficacy in Special Needs Education among Primary Teacher Trainees in Kenya
Authors: Tabot Benedicta A. , Tuimur Hilda N.
Published: June 2022

The success of curriculum implementation in any country depends on the quality of the teacher with regard to the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In the move toward inclusive education in Kenya (ROK, 2005; ROK, 2009; ROK, 2012a; ROK, 2017), one of the strategies is the expansion of teacher education curriculum to include a component of special needs in order to develop the capacity of the teachers to support children with special needs in regular schools. This paper presents part of the findings of a survey of Primary Teacher Colleges in the Rift Valley region of Kenya on the integration of Special Needs Education (SNE) in the curriculum vis-à-vis instructional efficacy among the teacher trainees. It examines the integration of SNE in the objectives and evaluation elements of the Primary Teacher Education (PTE) curriculum and its role in the development of instructional efficacy among the teacher trainees. The findings revealed that the PTE curriculum did not provide adequate coverage and integration of aspects of SNE in the objectives and evaluation elements of the PTE curriculum and consequently inadequate development of instructional efficacy among the teacher trainees. The study recommends adequate coverage and complete fusion of aspects of SNE in the objectives and evaluation elements of the curriculum as a significant strategy for achieving instructional efficacy among teacher trainees.

Authors: Etiubon Rebecca U. , Etiubon Andikara H. , Okon Ifang K.
Published: June 2022

Effective engagement in practical work enables science students to acquire abilities, skills, competence and understanding of laboratory practical knowledge. The study investigates teacher self-regulatory skills in laboratory practice and students' academic achievement on the rate of chemical reaction in science. Eighty (80) science teachers and eighty (80) senior secondary science students were randomly selected from fourteen schools in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, using the technique of purposive sampling. Three research questions and three hypotheses tested at a 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The study utilized ex-post facto design as the independent variables of teacher self-regulatory skills, gender and experience are variables that have already occurred, and the researchers had no direct control over them. A 20-item multiple choice Achievement Test on Rate of Chemical Reaction and Questionnaire on Teacher Self-regulatory skills were instruments used for data collation. Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test and multivariate analysis of variance were used for analysis. Results show that teacher self-regulatory skills have a significant effect on practical achievement on rates of chemical reactions. There exists no significant difference in the achievement mean scores of science students based on gender with regards to teacher self-regulatory skills.; but the significant difference exists in the achievement mean scores of science students based on teachers' teaching experience given their self-regulatory skills. Recommendations amongst others were that science teachers should apply effective use of self-regulatory skills in teaching and understanding of the rate of chemical reactions.
Necessity of Implementing Advertising Literacy Programs in Preschool Curricula in Debt-Ridden Greecechool Curricula in Debt-Ridden Greece
Authors: Papachristou Evangeli , Nikolakaki Maria
Published: June 2022

This research is framed by the principles of liberating education, according to which education is political and members of the community have the opportunity to change themselves through critical consciousness. In this context, we explore childhood consumerism in debt-ridden Greece based on nationwide quantitative research conducted through questionnaires. The sample was 320 parents of kindergarten students attending private and public kindergartens of Greece, stratified by income. According to the results, advertisements affect not only children but also the parents and the family as a whole. The results demonstrate the need and desire of parents that preschoolers develop resistance to marketing techniques. We propose teaching resistance to children and their families by including advertising literacy, a branch of media education, in pre-school education curricula. This implementation will help develop students’ critical thinking skills, empower adults, transform society, and reinforce democracy for a fairer childhood.

Life work considered as a critical source of meaning in life. This can be particularly true for the educators who choose to work with and teach adults who belong to socially vulnerable groups. To this context, the aim of our study was to investigate the sources of meaning in life of educators of socially vulnerable groups, and the possible relation between the sources they derive meaning from and their decision to work with this specific kind of students. A total of 12 educators were interviewed providing information regarding their experience in working with socially vulnerable groups, their motives considering their professional choice, the way they perceive themselves as teachers of vulnerable adults and the sources of meaning in their lives. Thematic Analysis was used to analyze the data. It was found that the primary sources of meaning in life of the participants are (a) interpersonal and social relations, and (b) personal relationships; moreover, there is a close relation between the participants' sources of meaning in life and their perception about vulnerability.

The present work had a general objective to reflect the teaching practice with autistic children and its specific objectives: Discuss autism in education; to know the difficulties of the autistic child in the educational process; to identify the teacher's actions to overcome difficulties in the education of autistic children. This work in terms of its nature was classified as basic research. From the point of view of its objectives, this research was carried out with an exploratory nature, considering that this work is a subject already discussed in society and in academia, but requires further investigation. As for the technical procedures, this research was carried out with a bibliographic nature, where a survey of the subject was carried out in material already published such as books, articles, and periodicals. It is concluded through the theoretical discussion in the work that what is valid in situations of inclusion of autistic children in the educational scope is to love knowledge and test all work methodologies adapting them to each situation. It was also pointed out that there is no ready-made methodology, the web of social relationships in everyday school life is what will permeate the construction of the ideal teaching practice with autistic students.

Learning online as a new experience for students who are accustomed to the traditional face-to-face contact learning may be associated with numerous opportunities and threats. The qualitative case study sought to establish, from students; experiences, the opportunities, and threats of online learning. The study was informed by the Community of Inquiry framework and drew from the experiences of the participants of a 4-week long intensive training programme in a rural-based university in Eswatini. A purposive sample of eleven participants participated in the study by completing a programme evaluation form and participating in an online focus group discussion session. The study utilised the thematic content analysis method to analyse the collected qualitative data. The study found that there were several opportunities realised in online learning as well as some challenges which posed threats. The flexibility and convenience offered by studying online and transcending the limitations of time, space, and place were noted together with the utilisation of engaging learning activities, learning material, and content presented in multimedia as well as reliable online technical support and meaningful online academic support. Conversely, the issue of high workload, connectivity issues well as challenges in group activities were reported as threats. The study recommends the leveraging of all opportunities in enhancing online learning and being attended to threats in the planning and implementation of online learning.

Published: June 2022

The petroleum industry in Nigeria contributes a huge percentage to the national revenue of the country, to the extent that budgets are being passed based on the oil price dynamics. With the importance the petroleum sector has attained in Nigeria, it is expected that the country's pedagogy will reflect the value it contributes to the national table. However, reviews, surveys, and works of literature have shown otherwise. As a result, this study emphasizes the importance of petroleum engineering pedagogy in-country as an oil-producing country, the university curriculum of petroleum engineering in Nigeria was also examined (with a particular focus on the impact of poor curriculum on national development), and the dynamics between the university, industry and government were critically discussed and recommended practices for improving petroleum engineering pedagogy were made. This study targets national development and control over its own resources through a knowledge economy and seamless dynamics of information within the oil and gas industry. The Nigerian government, through the Federal Ministry of Education, is further expected to capitalize on the outcomes of this research for curriculum review of petroleum engineering and related courses offered in-country to foster sustainability in a competing global society.

Complex anthropogenic infl uence on the organism was assessedtaking into account the bioavailability of pollutants in the soil, water and air in certainareas of the region according to the value of the environmental risk factor (CER) proposedby us. Data analysis concerning the general number of newborns with congenitalmalformations for the period 2004-2018 year was carried out. The obtained results of theresearch were analyzed be means of the computer package «Statistica 6» Stat Soft andExcell XP for Windows on a personal computer using parametric and non-parametricmethods of calculation.Results. It has been shown that under conditions of the parents living in areas of ecologicaltrouble(CER≥2.0), the frequency of the development defects in their newborns constituted48.0%, and the total number of such defects was 50.36%. In the case of the parents livingin more favorable environmental conditions (CER<2.0), the frequency of malformationsdevelopment constituted correspondingly 36.3% and 39.0% (p<0.05). Correlationof chances (CCh) of the congenital malformations in newborns, whose parentspermanently lived in the zones of ecological risk in relation to the group of comparison became 1.62 (95% CI: 1-2.6) CI (confi dential interval), and for the native populationCCh was 1.59 (95% CI: 1-2.8).Conclusion. In case of the prolong parents’residence in the regions with high riskof infl uence on their organism of ecological factors of low density, gross (watch)malformations, recommended to the obligatory register EUROCAT, were formed in thenewborns more often than in the group of comparison.

Detecting high risk of preterm birth (PB) early makes its prevention possible. The aim of the work was to develop a mathematical predictive model for assessing the risk of preterm birth based on a quantitative analysis of the vaginal microbiota in the first trimester of pregnancy. The study included 199 pregnant women, i.e. 41 pregnancies that ended in preterm birth, and 158 — in term birth. Vaginal microbiota was analyzed in all patients in the 1st trimester of pregnancy by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The method of dicriminant analysis was used to develop a predictive model. A method for predicting PB was developed with the calculation of the PRIMA prognostic index (Premature Birth. Index Of Microbiological Analysis). If the value of PRIMA > 0 – the risk of premature birth is low, if PRIMA < 0 – the risk is high. The sensitivity and specificity of the method are respectively 70.7% and 79.75%, the effectiveness is 77.89%. Evaluation of vaginal microbiota in the 1st trimester makes it possible to identify a high-risk group of PB and perform timely preventive measures.

Special IssueMichel Foucault and the Historiography of Science
Foucault and Starobinski
Authors: Sager Malika
Published: June 2022

In The Birth of the Clinic, Foucault sweeps both bibliographical references and academic deference aside, thumbing his nose at historians of medicine and initiating a bras d’honneur towards traditional historiography. In this article, we will first recall the context of the reception of Foucault’s translation, where we see Anglo-Saxon readers swinging between admiration and repulsion when reading The Birth of the Clinic. An archeology of Medical Perception. We will then demonstrate how Jean Starobinski’s account of it, “Gazing at Death”, differs from those of his English-speaking peers. Finally, we will explain why we read in it the critical relationship, in every sense of the word, that Foucault and Starobinski maintained throughout their lives.

The condition of the church in the system of byzantine society
Authors: Skovronskyy D.
Published: June 2022

Over the centuries, the fact of belonging to Christianity gradually became an integral feature of Roman status. A full-fledged citizen subject to the emperor must not be a pagan, a representative of another religion. The Romans, Byzantine society, ultimately do not constitute a national, ethnic unity. The Byzantines were aware of this fact, contemporaries quite clearly emphasized the positive or negative features of the rule of certain dynasties, based on their ethnic groups. But this circumstance is perceived as natural. None of the peoples inhabiting the empire had a monopoly on state power. The Romans were a multinational people who professed a single religion, obeyed Roman law, obeyed the power of the emperor and was a unifying force. The heritage of Greek culture, the state Greek language were the basis of cultural, but not ethnic unity of society. The Emperor, Constantine I, laid the foundations of the institution of ecclesiastical organization in the administrative and legal system of the empire: the liberation of the clergy from the usual duties of Roman citizens; legal personality of church institutions, for example, the right to accept in their favor the inheritance by will, the performance of state duties; judicial powers in civil cases of members of the Christian community and more. In the Eastern Church, due to the significant economic role of various church institutions, especially monasteries, a special branched administration was formed, the importance of which for the population sometimes exceeded the state. The church was in fact a special bureaucratic organization that had its own goals and interests of existence and development. The unity of secular and ecclesiastical authorities was recognized as the basic principle, but their role and relations in the life of the Christian community have always caused fraught debates.In the most general form, the Byzantine doctrine of the role and purpose of the institution of the church, in its narrow sense, can be reduced to two main provisions. The church is an organic continuation, with its peculiarities, of state power. At the same time, according to other doctrines, the church has some autonomy, the political organization of Byzantine society includes two equal structures –– the institution of state power, which was embodied in the emperor, and spiritual power, especially the Patriarch of Constantinople. This scheme of basic concepts is not exhaustive, it reflects only the main directions of political and legal thought.
Legal knowledge in the system of higher education of non-legal specialties
Authors: Shandra R. , Bedriy M.
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the place and role of legal knowledge in the system of higher education of non-legal specialties. The erroneous belief that legal knowledge is needed only to professional lawyers has been disproved. Given the needs of the rule of law in Ukraine, this knowledge is both valuable and necessary to all citizens. Knowledge of law has special importance for people with higher (including non-legal) education since they are aimed at building Ukrainian statehood – its politics, economy, industry, education, culture and others. Therefore, the study of legal disciplines in higher education institutions is of extreme importance.

The interrelation between the concepts of legal education and juridical education is analysed. Juridical education is characterized as professional training of future judges, prosecutors, lawyers and other legislators. On the other hand, legal education is the acquisition of knowledge about state and legal phenomena by all members of society. The legal framework for legal education, its advantages and disadvantages are studied. The need for legal skills and competencies in accordance with the approved standards of higher education in non-legal specialties is identified. The necessity to develop and adopt a particular law on legal education of the Ukraine’s population is emphasized. The gradation of the capacity of legal knowledge depending on the peculiarities of a concrete non-legal specialty of higher education is offered.

The experience of the Department of Ukraine’s Law Fundamentals, Faculty of Law, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in teaching law disciplines at non-legal faculties is summarized. Didactic methods in this direction should consist of accessible and concise but, at the same time, complete and informative provision of legal knowledge, training of skills and abilities, their mastering and testing. Accordingly, there is a need to develop and publish separate textbooks, manuals, workshops, work programs and other materials on law issues for students of non-legal specialties. The expediency of functioning in the structure of the classical university of a specialized unit (department), which provides legal knowledge to students of non-legal specialties, is substantiated.
