Authors: Park Shin Hyeong , Lee Woo Hyuk , Kang Tae Seen , Cho Hyun Kyung , Han Yong Seop , Kim Ji Hye
Published: December 2021

Purpose: We report the case of a child with idiopathic intracranial hypertension who presented with binocular papillary edema and monocular sixth cranial nerve palsy accompanied by empty sella syndrome evident on brain magnetic resonance imaging.Case summary: A 9-year-old, normal-weight male patient visited the emergency room complaining of headache and diplopia 4 days in duration. The alternative prism cover test revealed esotropia of 16 prism diopters and a -1 right lateral gaze limitation. A fundus examination revealed papilledema and peripapillary hemorrhages in both eyes, and a visual field examination an enlarged, physiological blind spot in the right eye. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure, an empty sella, and posterior scleral flattening. We diagnosed and treated idiopathic intracranial hypertension. After 4 months, the papilledema and peripapillary hemorrhages of both eyes resolved, and the right lateral gaze limitation improved. The empty sella improved on brain magnetic resonance imaging, and we noted no recurrence 8 months after treatment.Conclusions: If a child with suspected idiopathic intracranial hypertension visits a hospital, but it is difficult to perform a lumbar puncture, brain magnetic resonance imaging should be scheduled. If abnormalities are found, these help to determine the course of disease.

Published: December 2021

A cultura do amendoim faz parte das principais culturas oleaginosas do mundo, fornecendo vários produtos a partir de seus grãos como óleo, proteínas e vitaminas. Objetivo: organizar as regiões e os estados brasileiros, em função dos indicadores de produção, usando técnicas de estatística descritiva e a análise multivariada de agrupamentos. Para a análise regional, realizaram as estatísticas descritivas em relação ao aumento ou redução das variáveis estudadas para as safras de 2018/2019 e 2019/2020. Os dados foram adquiridos na base do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), no Levantamento Sistemático da Produção Agrícola para área plantada, área colhida e produção, por ano da safra e produto das lavouras, onde foram selecionados os dados da safra de 2018/2019 e 2019/2020 e analisados por meio da análise exploratória da técnica multivariada de agrupamentos, pelo método hierárquico. Os grupos foram separados em relação à diminuição, constância ou aumento dos indicadores de produção, resultando nos seguintes grupos: Grupo 1 = Tocantins (TO); Grupo 2 = Alagoas (AL); Grupo 3 = São Paulo (SP), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Paraná (PR), Sergipe (SE), Ceará, (CE), Piauí (PI); Grupo 4 = Pará (PA), Maranhão (MA), Pernambuco (PE), Bahia (BA), Minas Gerais (MG), Mato Grosso (MT), Goiás (GO); Grupo 5 = Rondônia (RO), Acre (AC), Santa Catarina (SC), Rio Grande do Sul (RS). A região Sudeste apresentou a maior área, produção e produtividade do país, já as regiões Norte e Nordeste foram as que apresentaram os menores índices como um todo. No Brasil foi observada uma grande variação com relação aos indicadores de produção e o estudo multivariado mostrou que pode ser muito importante para os produtores, pois pode colaborar nas tomadas de decisões sobre os investimentos e ajudar no entendimento do processo de avanço ou retrocesso da cultura do amendoim no território brasileiro.
Using the Entirety of the Term Structure to Forecast Recessions
Authors: Romero Alfredo A.
Published: December 2021

Using a logit model and quarterly data from 1962 to 2021, we test the forecasting power of the yield spread, a popular leading indicator, and show that forecasting models that include the entirety of the term structure of interest rates provide more accurate estimates of future economic downturns. We also show that models that only include the yield spread are implicitly imposing restrictions in the coefficients of the model resulting in lower predictive power and omitted variable bias issues.
The Salespeople’s Reactions to Customer Sexual Harassment: A Case Study of Taiwan’s Life Insurance Industry
Authors:   Feng Chia University, Taiwan, Yi-Ling Lin
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT This study explores the impacts of customer reward power, customer coercive power, perceived behavioral control and personal factors on the full-time life insurance salespeople’s intentions to report quid pro quo and hostile work environment types of customer sexual harassment. This study collects quantitative data through questionnaire surveys. 743 valid questionnaires are gathered for the analyses. The findings of this research show that quid pro quo customer sexual harassment is intolerable to the respondents, and it will not become more tolerable because of the benefits these respondents could get in the wrongful behaviors. The regression analyses then support the effects of customer reward power on the whistleblowing intentions in quid pro quo customer sexual harassment. Perceived behavioral control is found to be the most influential factor that affects the whistleblowing intentions. This is the first empirical study to test the relationships among these variables. The findings could provide some implications for the researchers, official authorities and life insurance companies. KEYWORDS: customer sexual harassment, customer reward power, customer coercive power, perceived behavioral control, life insurance salespeople
From street dance to hip hop
Authors: Guarato Rafael
Published: December 2021

This text historicizes the concept of street dance (dança de rua) by showing distances and approaches in relation to hip hop. For this purpose, the analysis starts from the cultural history of street dance in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais (Brazil), to understand the complex relationships that gave meaning and form to the practice of street dance between the 1980s and 1990s. In a first step, I investigate the various perspectives that permeate the bond between the popular dance and dance festivals, well as between the city neighbourhoods and dance clubs. In a second step, the analysis shifts to the cultural performance that allowed street dancers to migrate to the so-called hip hop dance. Analysing street dance and hip hop considering their ruptures and continuities, the text intends to contribute to studies dedicated to the presence of dance in the construction of urban identities.
Democratic backsliding as a threat of a return to authoritarianism
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Tkach Oleg
Published: December 2021

The article considers the problems of threats to the collapse of democracy, when the components of democracy are at risk. Examples of the collapse of democracy have shown the lack of free and fair elections, which threatens the independence of the judiciary, the restriction of the right to freedom of speech, and the political opposition’s ability to challenge the government, prosecute and offer alternatives to the regime. The government poses a threat to national security in order to create a „sense of crisis” that allows the government to „denigrate critics as pro-government or unpatriotic” and portray defenders of democratic institutions as „representatives of a tired, isolated elite”. With this in mind, the purpose of the study was determined – to systematize the factors of the collapse of democracy. In order to achieve this goal, the criteria of approaches to the analysis of the problems of coagulation of democracy were analyzed and systematized. As a result, the factors of the collapse of democracy include: the weakening of political institutions, violations of individual rights and freedom of thought, which call into question the efficiency and stability of democratic systems. It is established that the problematic aspects are the level of inequality, differences in identity; democratization through bottom-up peaceful protests has led to a higher level of democracy and democratic stability than democratization caused by elites; constitutions resulting from pluralism (reflecting different segments of society) are more likely to promote liberal democracy (at least in the short term); that the threat of civil conflict encourages regimes to make democratic concessions; development in a democratic direction requires collective security; the process of democratization can occur by chance, as it depends on unique characteristics and circumstances; correlation of democratization with democratization of knowledge as the spread of the ability to create and legitimize knowledge among citizens, in contrast to knowledge under the control of elite groups; correlation with the effect of democratization of design. Key words : democracy, democratic backsliding, political regime, democratization, political crisis.

Material and Methods: In this study we included 120 patients age >18 years of ASA class I & II who underwent any surgical procedure under spinal/general anesthesia. Patients were divided into 3 groups of equal size of 40 subjects. Group A; in these patients tramadol 0.25 mg/kg I/V was given for shivering management. Group B; in these patients Tramadol 0.5 mg/kg I/V was given and Group C (control group); in these patients normal saline 0.05 ml/kg I/V was given. The adequate control of shivering was the main study objective. Side effects of tramadol at different doses were also observed. Results: At five minutes, Grade 0,1 and 2 shivering were observed in 23 patients in group A and 31 patients in group B while in group C grade 3 and 4 shivering were observed. High grade (3 and 4) shivering were significantly high in group C than group A and B (p-value= 0.005). Similarly, at 10 minutes, grade 3 and 4 shivering were significantly high in group C than group A and B (p-value 0.005). Conclusion: IV 0.25 mg/Kg is an effective option for control of post-anesthesia shivering with minimal side effect profile. So low dose tramadol can be used as a first option for post-anesthesia shivering control. Keywords: Anesthesia, Shivering, Tramadol.

Published: December 2021

Background and Objective: Trauma remains the major cause of mortality and disability among young people across the world with penetrating trauma being a very common cause. Traditionally, penetrating abdominal trauma was managed with exploration. But now with the advent of minimally access surgery and advancements in laparoscopic expertise, more patients can be managed with minimally invasive methods. This approach can save many unnecessary laparotomies and large midline incisions. The role of laparoscopy in blunt abdominal trauma is well established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in penetrating abdominal injuries. Methods: All the penetrating abdominal trauma patients presenting to the emergency department of Rawal Medical and Dental hospital from January 2019 till December 2020 for a period of 2years (a total of 102 patients) and who were hemodynamically stable, between the ages of 20 to 50 years of either gender were included in the study. All these patients had equivocal abdominal findings with no signs to suggest serious intraabdominal injury. These patients were prepared as standard for general anesthesia and diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. A predesigned performa was used for entering the patients’ details and operative findings. All patients gave written informed consent in urdu. Main outcome measures were the conversion rate, missed injuries leading to reexploration. Results: 85%of the patients were males with only 15% females. Mean age of the population was 38.7 years .Conversion to open was required in only 6.12 % of the cases .Laparoscopy alone was sufficient for all other patients. In about 36% of the patients no intraabdominal injury was found. In rest 58% patients the surgeons were able to repair the injuries laparoscopically.18 patients had minor liver injury,10 patients had minor hemoperitoneum<100 ml without any significant injury and 2 patients had single small bowel perforation which was repaired laparoscopically and cavity was irrigated. No patient had post operative complications of peritonitis due to missed injury or bleeding leading to re exploration. Conclusion: Laparoscopy is a very effective procedure to deal with penetrating abdominal trauma patients who are stable and with equivocal abdominal findings without increasing risk of missed injury with minimal rates of conversion to open laparotomy if patients are selected vigilantly.

İnsan sağlığını koruma ve tedavi etme olarak ifade edilen tıp, insanlık tarihi kadar eskidir. Tıbb-ı nebevî ise insan sağlığının korunmasında, tedavi ve tedavi araçlarının nasıl uygulanacağı konusunda peygamberin tavsiye ve uygulamalarıdır. Tıbb-ı nebevînin diğer bir ifadeyle Hz. Peygamber’in tıbbının ilahi kaynaklı mı yoksa dönemsel ve Arap toplumunun tıp bilgisinden mi kaynaklanmaktadır, konusu kadim bir tartışmadır. Hz. Peygamber’in tıp ile ilgili tavsiyeleri bazı duaların yanında ağırlıklı olarak yiyecek içecek ve bunların farklı karışımlarla kullanımıyla ilgilidir. İnsanoğlunun hayatını ikame edebilmesi için gıda denilen yiyecek ve içecekler zorunlu ve doğrudan bir etkiye sahiptir. Gıdalar, içinde taşıdığı vitamin ve mineraller yönünden biri birinden farklılık arz etmektedir. Ayet ve hadislerde bazı yiyecek ve içeceklerin diğerinden daha besleyici olduğu belirtmek için bereket ifadesi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada öncelikle ayet ve hadislerde bereketli olarak belirtilen yiyecek ve içecekler belirlenip bunların tıbb-ı nebevî açısından değerlendirilmesi topluca yapılacaktır. Rivayetlerde bereketli olarak belirtilen yiyecek ve içeceklerin insanların temel ihtiyaçları gıdaların, ulaşımı kolay ve besleyicilik değerinin yüksek olması nedeniyle bereketli olduğu belirtildiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Doğal Kötülük Sorunu Bağlamında Şifa Delilinin Analizi ve Eleştirisi
Authors: EFİL Şahin
Published: December 2021

Şifa delili, Tanrının varlığının delilleri içinde yer alan, mantıksal ve felsefî bir format içinde geliştirilen yeni bir delil formudur. Bu delilin açığa çıkmasında doğadaki ve içimizdeki şifa kaynakları ile Kur’an’da merkezinde “şifa” kavramının bulunduğu, şifa delilinin öncüllerini ve sonucunu örneklendiren ve açıklayan birçok ayetin olması etkili olmuştur. İlgili delile karşı yapılabilecek muhtemel eleştirilerin daha ziyade onun birinci ve dördüncü öncülleri ile sonucuna yönelik olması daha muhtemeldir. Zira bu delilde bu öncüller diğerlerine göre daha kritik ve daha belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak bu eleştiriler, şifa delilinin gücünü sarsacak ve yapısını deformasyona uğratacak kadar güçlü değildir. Burada tartışmaya ve eleştiriye konu olan bir başka husus, sevgi, şefkat, merhamet, adalet, ilim, irade ve kudret sahibi olan, hastalandığımızda bize şifa veren bir Tanrı fikri ile yeryüzünde hemen her türden hastalık, özellikle kronik ve ölümcül hastalıklar neticesinde açığa çıkan doğal kötülüklerin varlığının nasıl açıklanabileceği sorusu ve sorunudur. Şifa deliline yönelik eleştirilerin gerisinde daha ziyade bu delilin sonucu ile doğal kötülük sorunu arasında açığa çıkan gerilimler yatmaktadır. Burada temel soru ve sorun şudur: Bir yanda şifa veren bir irade, bir yanda da kronik ve ölümcül hastalıklar söz konusudur. Böyle bir Tanrı anlayışı ile bu hastalıklar nasıl bir arada düşünülebilir ve onlar nasıl bağdaşabilir veya uzlaştırılabilir? Bu iki uç nokta arasında nasıl bir ilişki kurulabilir ve onlar arasındaki uçurumu aşmak nasıl mümkündür? Bu makalenin temel amacı, doğal kötülük sorunu bağlamında şifa deliline dair bazı analizler ve eleştiriler yapmaktır. Bu bağlamda ilgili delilin felsefî bakımdan zayıf ve güçlü yönlerini açığa çıkarmak, bu konuda derli toplu bir değerlendirme yapmaktır.

From Internal to International Migration in Romania – Continuity and Spatial Differentiation
Authors:   ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, Romania, Muntele Ionel , Horea-Serban Raluca-Ioana ,   ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, Romania
Published: December 2021

The study proposes a set of analyses on the evolution of the migration balance of Romania’s population over a wide time interval, fully covering the period dominated by the communist regime (1948-1989) and the last three decades marked by the transition to a market economy. The aim is to differentiate the typology of the time and space distribution of the mentioned indicator and to test a set of explanatory factors, for each of the two distinct periods. The typological and factor analyses applied led to results that largely confirm the hypothesis of a continuity between the massive internal migration during the communist regime and the more complex migration in recent decades. At the same time, the profound changes in the incidence of certain explanatory factors certify a complete restructuring of the migration system in Romania after 1990. The massive migration from rural to urban areas, brought about by positional or socio-economic factors, was gradually replaced after the fall of the communist regime by a strong labour emigration, an effect of deindustrialization. The stimulation of the periurbanization process, by changing the way of life, introduced new variables in the functioning of the migration system, in keeping with the specific evolutions of the contemporary era.

The research focused on two cultural bipolar models: Hofstede, which comprises six cultural dimensions: individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs. femininity, long-term vs. short-term orientation, indulgence vs. restraint, and Trompenaars-Hampden-Turner, which contains seven dimensions: universalism vs. particularism, individualism vs. communitarianism, neutral vs. emotional, specific vs. diffuse, achievement vs. ascription, sequential time vs. synchronous time, internal vs. external control. The established similarities and differences, knowledge of cultural specificity in international interactions, both social and economic, is an added value for individuals to successfully integrate and fit into a society, other than their native, and for businesses to be successfully managed on international level.

During the last three decades, significant research has been undertaken on the characteristics and relationships of the marketing organization with the implementation of strategies. These are the structure, culture, processes, and influence and leadership characteristics of the marketing institution. However, there has been little attention given to the human resources management policies of the marketing staff. These policies are one of the strongest sensations of people and organizations, when properly implemented, to conduct themselves correctly. In this study, we show that mid-level marketer implementation of HR policies differ substantially in the type of marketing strategy adopted by the companies. Companies with aligned enterprise and marketing strategies have achieved considerably stronger performance than companies with unequalled business and marketing strategies.

The 1840s were one of the most difficult periods of anti-French struggle for the Algerians. The Franco-Moroccan war of 1844 and the defeat of Morocco was a huge blow for Abd al-Kader’s liberation movement in Algeria. Nevertheless, the anti-French struggle was still going on. In 1845 Sheikh Bou Maza’s revolt broke out in Algeria. This popular uprising spread throughout the country in a short time. At the same period Abd al-Kader continued his struggle after returning from Morocco. This situation seriously disturbed the French. The latter acted harshly and cruelly. General Bugeaud’s steps brought the expected results. After suppressing Bou Maza’s revolt the French threw all their forces against Abd al-Kader. By the end of 1847 Abd al-Kader, being in a desperate situation, laid down his arms and surrendered to the French.
THE PHENOMENA OF CULTURAL MEMORY AND TIME IN THE COMPOSITION "UNDER THE FIR TREE: REFLECTIONS IN THE BOSOM OF DESERTED NATURE" BY GHEVOND ALISHAN
Authors: Hambardzumyan Naira
Published: December 2021

In the context of cultural memory and its transfer, the essay of Ghevond Alishan "Under the fir tree. Reflections in the bosom of a deserted nature" can be interpreted on the basis of considering the text as a cultural memory extended in time. In the space o time, Alishan creates his vision (image) of memory. Alishan connects cultural memory with the present, which is an endless cosmic time. Meantime, he notes the ontological precondition of memory, since it is its carrier. In that present, the time, which encompasses and accumulates the space-time dimensions of the past and future, is revealed. In this particular essay (of Ghevond Alishan), memory as a phenomenon is also considered in the context of intertextual and post-structuralism theories. Such interpenetration of memory plays a very constructive role in terms of further research on the time-text-memory triad.
Therefore, the proposition that cultural memory is a non-passive creative reserve turns the information obtained from this into a "working" material for the modern researchers.

The political decision-making process has always been at the center of attention of states. In this regard, there are a number of theories and practical manifestations that reflect the whole essence of the decision-making process.
The specificity of the decision-making process in conditions of the state is
rather due to the important principles of reciprocity and proportionality. The main
goal here is the implementation of an effective state policy with the participation of
all, as well as the adoption of joint mutually acceptable decisions. Making joint decisions leads to the fact that not one, but all will be blamed for the results and consequences. The adoption of effective decisions is conditioned by the stages of decision making, which form the basis of this process by appropriate methodology and
modeling.
One of the important issues is the issue of decision-making in emergency or
critical situations, a process that has special procedures and technologies. The role
of communication technologies is also important, when the decision-making
process is accompanied by the use of diplomatic or negotiation tools.

Authors: Abbas Ansar , Ullah Muhammad Aman , Waheed Abdul
Published: December 2021

This study is conducted to predict the body weight (BW) for Thalli sheep of southern Punjab from different body measurements. In the BW prediction, several body measurements viz., withers height, body length, head length, head width, ear length, ear width, neck length, neck width, heart girth, rump length, rump width, tail length, barrel depth and sacral pelvic width are used as predictors. The data mining algorithms such as Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID), Exhaustive CHAID, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are used to predict the BW for a total of 85 female Thalli sheep. The data set is partitioned into training (80 %) and test (20 %) sets before the algorithms are used. The minimum number of parent (4) and child nodes (2) are set in order to ensure their predictive ability. The R2 % and RMSE values for CHAID, Exhaustive CHAID, ANN and CART algorithms are 67.38(1.003), 64.37(1.049), 61.45(1.093) and 59.02(1.125), respectively. The mostsignificant predictor is BL in the BW prediction of Thalli sheep. The heaviest BW average of 9.596 kg is obtained from the subgroup of those having BL > 25.000 inches. On behalf of the several goodness of fit criteria, we conclude that the CHAID algorithm performance is better in order to predict the BW of Thalli sheep and more suitable decision tree diagram visually. Also, the obtained CHAID results may help to determine body measurements positively associated with BW for developing better selection strategies with the scope of indirect selection criteria.

Terdapat banyak informasi hoax di bidang kesehatan yang sangat menyulitkan teman-teman di layanan primer dalam melakukan upaya pencegahan penyakit, terutama penyakit COVID-19. Informasi hoax yang tersebat seperti menyatakan bahwa COVID-19 adalah bentuk konspirasi bisnis, hingga penolakan terhadap vaksinasi membawa dampak pada kesulitan menyelesaikan masalah pandemic ini. Berita hoax yang tersebar lebih banyak dibuat oleh orang-rang yang tidak paham akan kesehatan, seperti kalangan artis atau selebgram yang rata-rata memiliki follower dalam jumlah besar. Sementara para dokter dan tenaga kesehatan yang ahli dalam bidangnya seolah tak bisa meluruskan informasi tersebut karena belum banyak yang paham dan percaya diri untuk memanfaatkan media social dalam edukasi kesehatan. Untuk itulah buku ini kami susun bersama para narasumber pelatihan dengan harapan para dokter dan tenaga kesehatan di layanan primer yang belum sempat mengikuti kegiatan pelatihan juga dapat memiliki pengetahuan, kemampuan dan rasa percaya diri untuk merancang media edukasi online. Buku ini nantinya juga akan kami gunakan sebagai bahan referensi dalam mengajarkan materi promosi kesehatan kepada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran di semua program studi.
