Economía política y pugnas por la hegemonía. Disputas en torno al núcleo nodal de la hegemonía neoliberal y los proyectos de devaluación y dolarización durante la crisis del 2001
Authors: Fair Hernán
Published: April 2019

Este artículo analiza los discursos en pugna de los principales actores de poder en torno al núcleo nodal de la hegemonía neoliberal en la Argentina, a través de los posicionamientos y disputas público-mediáticas sobre los significantes clave Convertibilidad y esta­­­­bilidad y los proyectos de devaluación y dolarización, durante la crisis de diciembre del 2001. Se encontró que una parte minoritaria de los actores políticos clave apoyaban, con matices, los fundamentos del orden neoliberal, que en esta fase se articulaban de forma extensiva a la preservación del sistema financiero y los ahorros, la gobernabilidad y la estabilidad institucional. Al mismo tiempo, una pluralidad de actores políticos criticaban, con diferentes intensidades, la Convertibilidad, sus efectos regresivos y las interpelaciones oficiales, aunque mantenían un apoyo tácito a la estabilidad. En este tramo final de la crisis del modelo la propuesta de dolarización era readecuada a partir de un proyecto financiero-neoliberal de fluctuación ponderada del tipo de cambio y posterior dolarización de la economía. Esta opción implicaba extremar el esquema convertible y el ajuste fiscal. Sin embargo, el proyecto dolarizador era impugnado por el conjunto de los referentes heterodoxos y rechazado también por el presidente. Al analizar los discursos alternativos en torno a la devaluación se encontró que, salvo unas pocas voces aisladas, los actores predominantes no mencionaban, o bien rechazaban explícitamente, esta propuesta, que simbolizaba la pura anti-comunidad. A su vez, un conjunto de actores de poder enunciaban los significantes devaluación y dolarización, a lo que se sumaba el peligro del default, aunque sin respaldar dichos proyectos. Estos referentes se limitaban a constatar la situación de crisis y a proyectar, con diferentes grados de pesimismo, una salida devaluacionista, dolarizadora y/o de cesación de pagos de la deuda, pero sin apoyar ninguna de estas alternativas. Por último, en esta fase se escenificaba una variante heterodoxa radicalizada de devaluación encubierta. Dicha propuesta consistía en una flexibilización con flotación cambiaria y desdolarización para construir un modelo de país alternativo, vinculado a la redistribución del ingreso, la protección del trabajo y el mercado interno y el desarrollo productivo nacional. Sin embargo, este proyecto antagónico al orden neoliberal representaba a posiciones minoritarias, aisladas y desarticuladas a nivel político-institucional y social. De este modo, no contaba con los consensos necesarios ni la fuerza performativa para estructurar un nuevo modelo de desarrollo. Se concluye que la desarticulación hegemónica, y el veto mutuo entre los actores de poder, obturaron la posibilidad de viabilizar un programa alternativo al Régimen de Convertibilidad.

Public access to the services of financial institutions determines the revenues amount of financial institutions. The growth of bank account helps banks to manage the financing service that provides for the community. This study examines the relationship of financial inclusion and financial stability, especially in Indonesia’s Sharia banking. Financial inclusion defined as community access to financial services which peroxided by deposits, while the financial stability of Sharia banking is measured by Non Performing Financial (NPF). Samples include financial data of 5 sharia banks during the study period from 2011 to 2016 were analyzed using classical assumption test and regression test. The results of study found that the deposits as proxy of financial inclusion had a positive effect to stability of financial.
No Guts, No Glory: Promoting Economic Independence of Brown Sugar Farmers Through Co-Operative
Authors: Puspasari Novita , Aryo Sudibyo Yudha
Published: April 2019

Banyumas regency is the largest producer of brown sugar in Indonesia. One location which produce brown sugar is in Ketanda Village. Unfortunately, most of brown sugar farmers have been trapped to bad middlemen for decades since they are lack of capital and market access. The farmers pay debt to middlemen with their sugar then the price is determined by the middleman. Moreover, middlemen buy brown sugar in much lower price than the market price. Both the buying price and the debt scheme determined by the middlemen are unfair to brown sugar farmers. This research used action research method. In the first step of action research, diagnosis, it was found that brown sugar farmers need an institution which can facilitate them to be free from middlemen, strengthen the farmers community, and also develop their business model. Therefore, the intervention made by gathering local actors and they committed to build a cooperative. There are two implications from this study. First, this study will enrich literature in cooperative as a social enterprise which has a main goal to manage social problem. Second, if successfully implemented, the cooperative model can be replicated in other regions to manage the same social problem, thus farmer’s economic independence will be achieved.

Risk Factors for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: Stoian Marilena , Stoica Victor
Published: April 2019

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with incidence rising is expected to increase by another 81% by the year 2020, primarily due to the hepatitis C epidemic. The strongest risk factors for the development of HCC is a hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) virus infection, as well as cirrhosis of any cause. Other risk factors that have been reported include exposure to aflatoxin, alcohol, tobacco, obesity and diabetes. To detect potentially curable cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, outpatients with chronic liver disease who have been seen at the Dr. Ion Cantacuzino Hospital, since 10 years and examined periodically with real-time ultrasonography and measurement of serum alpha-fetoprotein.We analyzed the data on these patients for risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma.

The risk of liver cancer in men was 1.33 times higher than in women; patients in their 60s had significantly higher rate ratios (6.46) than patients in their 40s; patients with liver cirrhosis diagnosed at enrollment had significantly higher rate ratios for liver cancer (1.93) than patients with chronic hepatitis. The high serum alpha-fetoprotein level at enrollment was also confirmed as a significant marker for a high risk, regardless of the stage of disease (chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis). The serum markers for hepatitis virus -- HBsAg, and anti-HCV - were significantly associated with the risk of liver cancer: the adjusted rate ratios for HBsAg, anti-HBc, and anti-HCV were estimated to be 6.92, 4.54, and 4.09, respectively. Hepatitis B surface antigen (rate ratio 6,92; 95% CI: 2.92 to 16.39) and hepatitis C antibody (rate ratio 4.09; 95% CI: 1.30 to 12.85) showed the most risk for carcinoma.

Further studies are required to clarify the roles of other risk factors, including drinking and smoking habits.

Published: April 2019

For the safe and economical design and operation of freight pipelines it is necessary to know slurry flow behaviour in inclined pipe sections, which often form significant part of pipelines transporting solids. Fine-grained settling slurry was investigated on an experimental pipe loop of inner diameter D = 100 mm with the horizontal and inclined pipe sections for pipe slopes ranging from −45° to +45°. The slurry consisted of water and glass beads with a narrow particle size distribution and mean diameter d50
= 180 µm. The effect of pipe inclination, mean transport volumetric concentration, and slurry velocity on flow behaviour, pressure drops, deposition limit velocity, and concentration distribution was studied. The study revealed a stratified flow pattern of the studied slurry in inclined pipe sections. Frictional pressure drops in the ascending pipe were higher than that in the descending pipe, the difference decreased with increasing velocity and inclination. For inclination less than about 25° the effect of pipe inclinations on deposition limit velocity and local concentration distribution was not significant. For descending pipe section with inclinations over −25° no bed deposit was observed.
V-Function Method: Some Solutions of Direct and Inverse Dynamics Problems in A New Statement
Authors: Valishin Nail T. , Valishin Fan T.
Published: April 2019

Based on the V-function method, the properties of wave nature of object motion are studied for object uniform motion with constant speed and for harmonic oscillator. It follows from the V-function method that object wave motion is inseparably linked with its trajectory motion. The V-function method consists of the principle of local variation and a new statement of the direct and inverse dynamics problems. The proposed approach made it possible to make the optico-mechanical analogy that obtained a new continuation. A comparison is made with the results obtained by Schrödinger for a harmonic oscillator.

The aim of this research study was to design and assess the design of the interior environment for a leisure learning area in the National Gallery of Thailand. The study used a combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies: interviewing the curator, 2 staff members, and the executive director of the National Gallery of Thailand; a physical survey of areas in the gallery; and a questionnaire survey of users’ preferences of art activity area. The survey of users’ preferences was conducted with a sample group of 600 potential users who were randomly and systematically sampled from a population of first-year students majoring in applied arts in several governmentally-supported universities in Bangkok. The obtained data on the designs that were based on the concept of functional and aesthetic design and a ‘circumplex model of affect’ in cognitive theory were analyzed accordingly. The preliminary designs were three arrangement patterns of environmental elements that provided positive stimuli: 1) a pattern for low level of stimuli; 2) one for moderate level; and 3) one for high level of stimuli. These patterns are illustrated in this paper as a layout plan and 3 computer-generated 3D perspectives that were assessed by 10 design experts on a 1-5 Likert rating scale. The means and standard deviations achieved by the 3 patterns indicated that the patterns for medium level and high level of stimuli was of a very high quality with ̄X = 4.5, SD = 0.14 and ̄X = 4.59, SD = 0.19, respectively. In other words, both patterns were active, functional, aesthetically-pleasing, and proper overall designs for the environmental interior of the intended area in the National Gallery of Thailand.

Management of the Family Empowerment and Welfare Organization to Prevent Divorce in Cilacap Regency
Authors: Puspita Dyah Retna , Rostikawati Rin , Dharma Pawrtha
Published: April 2019

The organization Family Empowerment and Welfare (FEW, or known in Indonesia as PKK) is a social institution that receives significant and varied support from the Indonesian government due to its significant role in empowering families. It has a wide scope, reaching down to the Neighborhood Association/RT (the smallest village administrative level) and even Dasa Wisma (groups of ten families) levels. One regency in which FEW analysis is attractive is Cilacap Regency. Cilacap has the highest divorce rates in Central Java province, and there has been a degradation of family sustainability as a result. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the management of FEW in empowering families in this regency, especially in preventing divorce. This research applies a descriptive-qualitative approach, with FEW officials as its research target. Data were collected through interviews, discussions, and observations. This research shows that one cause of high divorce rates in this region is the limited function of this program and its activities, as social analysis has not been conducted as the basis for making plans. It is recommended that the social analysis strategy be implemented.
The Polish School of Composition in 20th-Century Music – A Recapitulation
Authors: Lindstedt Iwona
Published: April 2019

The present paper concerns the concept of ‘the Polish School of Composition’, well established in writings on music composed in the 2nd half of the 20th century, but still resisting attempts to define it clearly. I sum up the ways authors have talked about the Polish School of Composition to date, both from the internal (Polish) and external (foreign) points of view. I also examine the musical differentia specifica (such as aspects of style, composition technique and expression in works associated with this phenomenon) and the extramusical (mostly social and political) contexts which have determined the evolving approaches to the phenomenon in question. I begin with the origin of the term itself and discuss its subsequent interpretations until the present. From this perspective, the Polish School of Composition appears to be a kind of mythic narrative, a proposed way of ordering and understanding the past realities, transcending the categories of truth and falsehood, and working primarily in the sphere of emotions.
Determining the optical properties of blood using He-Ne laser and double integrating sphere set-up
Authors: Ashoor Habib E. , Jasim Khalil Ebrahim
Published: April 2019

The behaviour of light interaction with biological tissue is determined by micro-optical parameters: refractive index (n), absorption coefficient (µa
), scattering coefficient (µs
), and anisotropy (g). The goal of this study is to measure the optical properties of normal whole blood using He-Ne laser (wavelength 632.8 nm).

The refractive index is measured using the traveller microscope. The integrating sphere method is used to measure the macro-optical parameters: total diffusive reflectance, transmittance, and collimated transmittance at wavelength 632.8 nm. The macro-optical parameters are fed to Inverse Adding Doubling (IAD) theoretical technique, to estimate the micro-optical parameters (µs
, µa
, g). An alternative practical method is used to measure the g value based on utilising the goniometric table. The study reveals that the refractive index (n) equals 1.395±0.0547, absorption coefficient (µa
) equals 2.37 mm−1, scattering coefficient (µs
) equals 55.69 mm−1, and anisotropy (g) equals 0.82.

In conclusion, these findings approved, in general, the applicability of the suggested experimental set up. The set up depend on using three devices: the integrating sphere method to estimate (µs
, µa
, g), traveller microscope (n) and goniometer (g).
A Monte Carlo investigation of the dose distribution for new I-125 Low Dose Rate brachytherapy source in water and in different media
Authors: Fardi Zeinab , Taherparvar Payvand
Published: April 2019

Permanent and temporary implantation of I-125 brachytherapy sources has become an official method for the treatment of different cancers. In this technique, it is essential to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy source to choose the optimal treatment plan. In this study, the dosimetric parameters for a new interstitial brachytherapy source I-125 (IrSeed-125) were calculated with GATE/GEANT4 Monte Carlo code. Dose rate constant, radial dose function and 2D anisotropy function were calculated inside a water phantom (based on the recommendations of TG-43U1 protocol), and inside several tissue phantoms around the IrSeed-125 capsule. Acquired results were compared with MCNP simulation and experimental data. The dose rate constant of IrSeed-125 in the water phantom was about 1.038 cGy·h−1U−1 that shows good consistency with the experimental data. The radial dose function at 0.5, 0.9, 1.8, 3 and 7 cm radial distances were obtained as 1.095, 1.019, 0.826, 0.605, and 0.188, respectively. The results of the IrSeed-125 is not only in good agreement with those calculated by other simulation with MCNP code but also are closer to the experimental results. Discrepancies in the estimation of dose around IrSeed-125 capsule in the muscle and fat tissue phantoms are greater than the breast and lung phantoms in comparison with the water phantom. Results show that GATE/GEANT4 Monte Carlo code produces accurate results for dosimetric parameters of the IrSeed-125 LDR brachytherapy source with choosing the appropriate physics list. There are some differences in the dose calculation in the tissue phantoms in comparison with water phantom, especially in long distances from the source center, which may cause errors in the estimation of dose around brachytherapy sources that are not taken account by the TG43-U1 formalism.
Ad fontes (The Codices of Revúca)
Authors: Piroščáková Jana
Published: April 2019

The article presents the Codices of Revúca as one of the most important sources of research on Slovak fairy tales through the interpretation of the Berona fairy tale. This topic as a whole but also in the context of the fairy tale theory is still unexplored, just like most similar manuscripts of Slovak romanticists who were at the birth of the folklore studies in their pre-scientific period. It is purposly conceived as a material study with the aim of demonstrating the need to return to archive sources and the research potential offered by such materials. It is, however, not the specific objective of this article to present an analysis of the texts quoted in the annex. The article consists of two parts. The first one evaluates the existing material base of the research on the Codices of Revúca (J. Polívka, M. Dzubáková), highlights the limitations arising from the marginalisation of the available materials, offers precise records from the Codices of Revúca on the texts for the interpretation of the fairy tale and, finally, corrects the information on one of the key texts from this source, the letter written by S. Reuss on December 17, 1843, the full translation of which forms part of the text in the annex. The second (analytical) part of the article deals with the contextualisation and comparison of three commentaries on the Berona fairy tale (S. Reuss, J. Francisci, S. Ormis). All three texts are fully available in the annex.

Published: April 2019

Hypokinetic dysarthria is characterized by a speech that gradually becomes monotonous, poorly modulated, quiet and ultimately unintelligible. The goal of this research is to determine the acoustic characteristics of voice and speech in adults with hypokinetic dysarthria and the impact of the altered voice on the quality of communication. The sample consisted of 30 elderly respondents of both genders with Parkinson’s disease and hypokinetic dysarthria. In order to conduct a spectral analysis, the voice of patients was recorded while they were reading phonetically balanced text. The respondents conducted a self-assessment of the degree of their own handicap caused by voice disorder and impact of the voice handicap by completing the Voice Handicap Index (VHI). Statistically significant differences were determined in the position of some formants in respondents compared to the values of formants in typical speakers for the following vowels: F1 of the vowel /I/ and F2 of the vowels /E/, /I/, /O/ and /U/. By examining the relation between the score achieved on the VHI instrument and the value of formants, the only statistically significant correlation was achieved between the formant F1 of the vowel /A/ and functional and emotional subscale. By regression analysis used to determine the predictor of the quality of communication, it was confirmed that F1 of the vowel /A/ has a statistically significant contribution to the explanation of the score achieved on functional and emotional subscale, by explaining 15% of the functional subscale (Beta=-0,393 (11,30 – 47,37)) and 10% of the emotional subscale (Beta=-0,363 (-0,052 – 0,000)).
Aspects regarding the use of drugs among athletes
Authors: Gligor Șerban , Gligor Răzvan
Published: April 2019

Drug abuse among athletes is a current and very important issue, both ethically and in terms of health risks. In addition to the drugs prescribed for the treatment of some diseases, athletes can also use substances that artificially increase their performance, such as: stimulants, anabolics, opioids, erythropoietin, diuretics as well as substances used to mask the prohibited substances.

The aim of this study is to review the data from the literature about the use of various drugs by athletes, for therapeutic purposes, or to increase sports performance.

Methods: We identified several studies using the on-line databases, and the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Searches were limited to full-text English-language journal articles published between 2003 and 2014.

Results: After the primary analyses we selected a total of 30 relevant studies on this topic.

Even if there is progress in detecting prohibited substances that increase sports performance, doping prevalence persists in sport.

Conclusion: In order to prevent and disrupt drug abuse, appropriate measures should be taken by physicians and coaches, such as warning about the risks of doping, appropriate training, appropriate nutrition and an appropriate psychological approach.
Smart training equals performance

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Training individualization is a key element for optimal sports performance and protection of the athlete’s health. The training program should be adjusted according to each athlete's characteristics and should be based on data obtained using proper evaluation. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is considered the gold standard for aerobic exercise capacity assessment and provides an increased quantity of information in regard to body reaction to effort, offering a complete perspective over the O2 transportation system and its utilization in metabolic processes.

The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of a scientific approach regarding the physical training, starting from junior level.

Methods: For a 3 years period (2013 - 2016) we followed the evolution of a professional cyclist (14 years old at baseline), in terms of cardiopulmonary parameters. During this period, he was tested 5 times and he followed a special training program adapted according the tests results. The CPET was performed in the laboratory using a stationary electronically braked cycle ergometer (Lode Corival, Netherland) and a breath by breath gas analyzer device (Cortex Metalyzer 3B, Germany).

Results: We observed an improvement trend in almost all parameters investigated during the 3 years evaluation period. Comparing post-season records from 2013 and 2016, we noticed an increase of 54% in maximal aerobic power and 50% in peak oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold and an even greater increase (59%) of these parameters at maximal effort achieved during CPET. After these 3 years of training we observed a significant improvement of ventilatory efficiency and cardiac performance during exercise.

Conclusions: The study indicate that proper training adaptation according to data obtained using CPET, can bring an important progress in terms of performance.

Evaluation of posture in sports performance
Authors: Jurjiu Nicolae-Adrian , Pantea Corina
Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper was to study a number of 34 athletes practicing different kinds of sports activities, in order to determine whether they have developed a certain spine deficiency and if there is any association between the type of sports they practice and the postural changes they develop.

Methods: In this study we have enrolled 12 members of the men’s volleyball team of the “West University of Timisoara”, 9 members of the men’s football team ASU Politehnica Timișoara, and 13 members of the men’s basketball team BC SCM Timișoara. Postural analysis was carried out with the Zebris CMS-10 from the mechatronics department of the Politehinca University Timisoara, a device that determines the spatial coordinates of the spinous processes. From the obtained data we have established the angle of the spinal deviation both sagittal and frontal, in a similar manner as with the Cobb method.

Results: We have observed a reduction in the spinal curvature in volleyball players; 8 out of 12 had values under the normal range that can in time lead to a rigid spine. 7 players from the basketball team presented values out of the normal range for kyphosis and 8 of them for lordosis, while all except two of the team players present with a front plane deviation of the spine. From the evaluation of the football players from ASU Politehnica Timișoara we cannot generalize a deviation in the sagittal plane, but all of them present deviations in the frontal plane.

Conclusion: Professional athletes can also present postural changes determined by the positions they most frequently adopt depending on the type of sports they practice.

Humans is one of the  best part for discussing in Philosophical. The existence of human can not be dissevered from the beginning and the end of creation of the universe.  Based on the statement above, there was a problem that must be answered, i.e , how do the philoshopers and muslims think of the origin of life,  human and the end of the universe? According to Thales (625-545 SM) the Universe is derivation from th water and it’s returned to the water. Anaxagoras (± 499 – 420 SM) thinked that the creation of the cosmos  is caused by atoms, Anaimenes has said that the creation of the universe is derivation from air by processing of condentation and rarefaction.  In holy Qur’an Al-Anbiya/21, verse 30 told  that the universe is the one entity that unity . “ Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (QS. Al-Anbiya’/21 : 30)”. Based on those, there was a similarity view between the holy Qur’an and the argument of the philosophers about the process of the occurence of Universe and also the relationship between the water and the air. In the islamic view, the universe has a beginning, so, the universe must has beginning and ending ( eschalogy). Evidently now the philosophers have justified that the end of the universe will come true. The Methode of collecting the data of this research used Library Research  , and also using qualitative approach. There are  similar or different views about the occurance of the universe, its contents, and also its destruction.

Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is one of the most common overgrowth syndromes. Cancer predisposition is an important feature of this clinically heterogeneous syndrome. Patients may have fetal and early childhood overgrowth, hemihyperplasia, macroglossia, facial dysmorphic features, abdominal wall defects, visceromegaly, and anomalies of the heart and the kidneys. Various previous investigations showed that heterogeneous molecular etiology may contribute to clinical variability and that epigenotype-phenotype correlations exist in BWS. This study was performed to detect the molecular etiology in 28 patients with BWS, to search for epigenotype-phenotype correlations and to provide appropriate individualized multidisciplinary approach. Four different molecular etiology groups were determined based on testing for copy number analysis and methylation status at 11p15. Sequencing for CDKN1C mutations were also performed. Groups were compared for various clinical findings. Differences between groups were not statistically significant owing to the small number of patients in individual groups. Statistical studies for epigenotype-phenotype correlations showed significance for only anterior ear lobe creases, visceromegaly and embryonal tumors. Additionally, one interesting patient had a mesenchymal tumor. Anticipating follow-up is clinically important in BWS.

The aim of this study is to determine the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) magnesium levels of infants with bronchiolitis and to investigate their relationship with disease severity. Fifty infants with moderate and severe bronchiolitis, grouped according to the bronchiolitis clinical severity scores (CSS), and 25 healthy children were included in the study. EBC was collected using an R tube commercial device; flammable atomic absorption spectrometry was used for the identification of magnesium level in this method. The median concentration of EBC magnesium levels in the group of moderate bronchiolitis patients was 0.82 (0-2.71) μg/ml, and that of severe bronchiolitis patients was 0.57 (0-3.16) μg/ml. The median concentration of EBC magnesium levels in the control group was 0.45 (0.06-2.66) μg/ml. There were no significant differences among the three groups (p > 0.559). The magnesium levels of the two bronchiolitis groups were also found in a wide range. In conclusion, EBC magnesium levels were not different in bronchiolitis patients and do not reflect disease severity.

Glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD0) has been considered a rare disorder, it is characterized with ketotic hypoglycemia after prolonged fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Herein, we report a novel mutation in the glycogen synthase 2 gene in a Turkish child, as well as her clinical characteristics and 12-month follow-up. We evaluated a 5-year-old girl for asymptomatic fasting ketotic hypoglycemia with postprandial hyperglycemia diagnosed with glycogen storage disease type 0. We identified a novel frameshift mutation, c.1081delA (p.Thr361Glnfs*2) in exon 8 on glycogen synthase 2 gene. Children with GSD0 may have a mild phenotype and GSD0 may be underdiagnosed due to subclinical or asymptomatic hypoglycemia. The diagnosis of GSD0 should be considered in a child with ketotic fasting hypoglycemia with postprandial hyperglycemia but without hepatomegaly.

In this report, we described an infant with both partial biotinidase and IL-12Rβ1 deficiencies as these two entities are rare and unrelated inherited disorders. One-month-old girl was diagnosed as partial biotinidase deficiency with newborn screening programme. Mutation analysis revealed a compound heterozygous mutation BTD: c.1330G > C (p.Val444Leu) / c.196_197dupCATC (p.Leu69HisfsTer24). At the age of 6 months, a nodule on her left axilla with purulent discharge was noticed which was related to BCG vaccination. A mutational analysis revealed a homozygous c.783+1G > A mutation on IL-12Rβ1 gene. Interferon-gamma and anti-tuberculosis treatment were initiated together and the nodule with purulent discharge regressed dramatically. Here, we want to emphasize consideration of coexistence of two rare autosomal recessively inherited diseases in a patient due to the high rate of consanguinity in our country.

Meconium periorchitis (MPO) is a rare disorder caused by meconium peritonitis with the leakage of meconium into the scrotal sac through the patent processus vaginalis. MPO may be rarely detected during inguinal hernia repair. The association of MPO with cystic fibrosis is rarely seen. We present a male infant with the complaint of left groin swelling, compatible with reducible inguinal hernia. An herniotomy was carried out and the greenish nodules with calcifications were detected. Histopathological examination was compatible with MPO. Two months later the patient was diagnosed with atypical cystic fibrosis. Clinicians should be aware of MPO presentations and its appearance on the hernia sac to prevent unnecessary orchiectomy.

تتبوأ السلطة القضائية المكانة البارزة والمنزلة المرموقة من بين سلطات الدولة، لما تقوم من دور بارز في إقامة العدل، وتطبيق نصوص القانون، وإن نجاح القضاء في أداء الدور المنوط به لا يمكن أن يتحقق على الوجه الأمثل إلاّ إذا كانت سلطته مستقلة تماماً من جميع النواحي الفنية والإدارية والمالية، والقضاء إنما يباشر هذا الدور عن طريق القضاة، وهناك طرق عدّة نظمها القانون لإختيار هؤلاء القضاة، وقد بيّن قانون المعهد القضائي في إقليم كوردسان- العراق رقم (7) لسنة 2009 كيفية اختيار القضاة في الإقليم والشروط المطلوبة فيهم، ويترتب على الأسلوب الذي يتم به هذا الاختيار من انعكاس بالغ الخطورة على كفاءة القضاة واستقلالهم وضمانتهم، مما يؤثر في النهاية على ثقة المتقاضين، وكذلك فإن ضمان قضاء عادل يتوقف على حسن اختيار من يقوم به.
