Zsyłki biskupów katolickich w afrykańskim państwie Wandalów w relacji Wiktora z Wity
Authors: Milewski Ireneusz
Published: November 2020

The above article discusses one of the aspects of the Vandals’ religious policy in Africa, that is, deportations of Catholic bishops ordered by the Vandal kings. Of course, the Vandal kings were Arians and the fact itself defined their attitude towards Catholic clergy in North Africa, which they occupied. Describing the background of these depor­tations, their course and other repression which befell Catholic clergy (and the faithful) in Africa in the middle of the fifth century, we can only rely on the sources of Catholic authors, who had a negative attitude to the Vandals and their leaders. They portrayed them as crude and bloodthirsty tyrants, or even as psychopaths. Discussing the deportations of bishops in the reign of Genseric and Huneric, the back­ground of the events was also presented. It was deduced that the underlying reason for the persecution of Catholics was the Vandals’ urge to consolidate their power in Africa. The bishops deprived of their seats were deported by the Vandal kings to Numidia (to the grounds controlled by the Moors) or to the islands of the Mediterranean Sea (Corsica, Sardegna) which belonged to the Vandals’ state. There they were forced to hard physical work (work on the land, cutting down trees used to build ships). Many of them, however, did not reach the assigned places of exile – they died on the way from physical exhaustion.

Chrystus lekarzem i lekarstwem z nieba w świetle homilii św. Augustyna do Ewangelii i Pierwszego Listu Jana Apostoła
Authors: Baran Grzegorz M.
Published: November 2020

Bei der Analyse der in den Homilien des Heiligen Augustinus zum Evangelium und zum ersten Brief des Apostels Johannes enthaltenen Lehre (In Iohannis Evangelium tractatus und In Iohannis Epistolam ad Parthos tractatus) über seelische Krankeit des Menschen merken wir, dass der Verfasser der Homilien viel Aufmerksamkeit der Frage der seelischen Heilung des Menschen schenkt. In diesem Zusammenhang belehrt Bischoff von Hippo seine Leser, dass Mosegesetz außerstande war, dem von seelischer Krankheit oder von Sünde betroffenen Meschen die Heilung zu bringen. Derjenige, der die Heilung der Seelenkrankheit dem Meschen brachte, ist Jesus Christus, bezeichnet von Augustinus als ein Arzt (medicus) und ein Medikament (medicamentum, medicina de coelo veniens). Wie Augustinus belehrt, wurde die Heilung des Menschen von Seelenkrankheit dank der Fleischwerung Jesus Christus – Wort Gottes und Seinem erlösenden Leiden und Tod möglich. Der Raum der aktuellen Handlung von Jesus als Göttlicher Arzt sind demgegenüber Sakramente, dank denen der Mensch die Gnade der Befreiung von Sünden bekommen kann, das heißt die Heilung von Seelenkrankheit. Die Gesundheit in vollem Umfang, deren Quelle Jesus – „Göttlicher Arzt” und „Arznei aus Himmel” ist, erreicht der Mensch erst nach Auferstehung des Körpers am Ende der Zeiten. Sein irdisches Leben, in dem die Heilung der Seele durch die mit Glauben angenommenen Sakramente zu realisieren beginnt, ist demnach – wie es Augustinus bezeichnet – „heilige Sehnsucht” nach entgültigem Ziel. Die Fülle der Gesundheit wird sowohl Seelle als auch Körper betreffen.
Corpora sanctorum in pace sepulta sunt, et nomina eorum vivent in aeternum. Peregrinatio christiana do Rzymu w czasach Grzegorza Wielkiego
Authors: Pawłowska-Blahaczek Beata
Published: November 2020

Zum Ende der christlichen Antike, also in Zeiten von Gregor des Grossen ist die Formulierung: ad beati apostolorum principis limina nicht nur zum Synonym für Kultstätten von Apostel, aber auch von Rom als Stuhl Petri geworden. Zu dieser Zeit wurde der Glaube an Schutz der Apostel, vor allem des Heiligen Petrus über Rom, das damals von verschiedenem Unheil und Kataklysmen geplagt wurde, geboren. Selbst die Bischöfe von Rom begünstigten die Reisen nach Rom und verliehen diesen einen geistlichen Charakter – ad limina apostolorum, peregrinatio pro Ecclesia. Die Errichtung von Pilgervierteln in der Nähe von römischen loca sancta, die für Leute gedacht waren, die eine Wallfahrt unternahmen, wurde zur „Ehrensache” für Bischöfe und weltliche Würdenträger, da es als deutliches Zeichen der Umsetzung der von Christi anbefohlenen christlichen Tugenden wie: Gastlichkeit – hospitalitas und Dienstbarkeit dem Nächsten galt. Diese „Nebeneinrichtungen” für Einreisende in die Kultstätten garantierten Ihnen einige Bequemlichkeiten, den Seelsorgern dagegen verhalfen im Katechese und „Aufsicht” über die Pilger.
Paralela: Józef Egipski – Chrystus w "Księdze obietnic i zapowiedzi Bożych" Quodvultdeusa
Authors: Czyżewski Bogdan
Published: November 2020

Dans cette présente étude, nous souhaitons nous pencher sur une étude concernant un parallèle intéressant et original sur: Joseph d’Egypte – Christ, qui Quodvultdeus, l’auteur du Livre des promesses et de prédictions de Dieu présente dans plusieurs passages de son oeuvre. Il faut admettre ici que ce sujet n’était pas nouveau, puisqu’il avait déjà paru dans le deuxième siècle; il était traité par Méliton de Sardes. En ce qui concerne l’inscription de certaines figures, Quodvultdeus est fidel à l’interprétation donnée par les Pères de l’Église et des écrivains de l’antiquité chrétienne. Pourtant, dans certains passages, nous pouvons indiquer une certaine autonomie entreprise par Quodvultdeus. Cette autonomie permetait au développement de nouveaux éléments qui n’étaient pas connus à l’époque. Il s’agit notamment des parallèles suivants: la tunique de Joseph dans les mains de la femme de Putiphar - la souffrance du Christ dans les chrétiens persécutés; le soleil du rêve de Joseph - Jésus-Christ; la lune – signifie l’Eglise; la réunion de Jacob et de Joseph – rencontre de Siméon avec Jésus; les dons offerts par Joseph aux frères – don de l’Esprit du Christ pour tous ceux qui croient en Lui. Si nous prenons en considération les parallèles mentionnés ci-dessus, Joseph d’Egypte – Christ, il faut admettre que Quodvultdeus est un auteur originale et créatif de l’antiquité chrétienne.
Śmierć i ostateczne przeznaczenie człowieka w ujęciu Maksyma Wyznawcy
Authors: Kochańczyk-Bonińska Karolina
Published: November 2020

The article presents how Maximus as Christian and philosopher understands death and eternal life. First of all, Confessor connects death with original sin and separation from God. In another meaning death is for him separation of body and soul, so that our life becomes continues preparation for death. Another important problem presented is if and how different elements of human being (intellect, soul and body) would cooperate in eternal life. Author presents Maximus’ attitude towards the conception of apocatastasis and shows that there is no place for such conception in Maxim’s writings. The last important problem presented in the article is deification understood as union with God (not only human beings but whole creation united with Creator) and Sabbath, which is the end of all movement and rest in God.
Wybory biskupów w świetle korespondencji Grzegorza Wielkiego
Authors: Lewandowicz Janusz
Published: November 2020

Having presented briefly the context in which the Church found herself, as well as the criteria required of candidates to episcopacy, the author discusses problems related to the promotion of bishops, based on selected examples extracted from the correspondences of Pope Gregory the Great. It shows that His Holiness was aware of the significant role played by episcopal elections in the Church’s life. His interventions in this matter were to ensure that local sees were assigned to appropriate candidates, i.e. those of good reputation, outstanding in good morals and possessing the expertise required in Sacred Scriptures and Catholic doctrines. Procedures implemented by Pope Gregory the Great with the aim of achieving this goal involved, amongst other things gathering information about the candidates to the episcopacy as well as the inclusion of the entire local clergy and all the lay faithful in the electoral process. Such a policy undertaken by His Holiness in promoting episcopates was aimed at strengthening their ties with the Holy See. This proved to be influential, especially during the institutional and structural destruction in Western Italia and threats from the Lombards, who wanted to destroy the well-established traditional Roman order. To avoid all forms of manipulation by lay persons in ecclesiastical matters, this policy excluded the possibility of promoting a layman to the episcopacy. Where there were difficulties in solving electoral issues, Gregory the Great often personally appointed candidates from the local clergy or from the Roman clergy. Pope Gregory the Great also reserved the right of preconisation of the elected bishops.
"Canones Eusebiani" w Biblii Płockiej z XII wieku
Authors: Misiarczyk Leszek
Published: November 2020

The article present the famous canons of Eusebius transmitted in medival version of the Bible of Plock (Poland). The Author hopes that publication of it will help scholars to develope a comparative studies between different manuscripts of medival Europe in order to conclude if there were one or more its versions in Middle Ages. Canons in so called “Bible of Plock” are slightly different from the version we can find in the internet (www.tertulian.org/fathers/eusebius_canon_ tables_01.html) but these differences are caused rather by a copist’s errors and don’t prove at all that in medival Poland or Europe there were in use a different canon versions. We need further comparative studies in this aerea and only afther these there will be possible to draw final conclusions.
Saint Jerome and veritas hebraica on the basis of the correspondence with saint Augustine
Authors: Ożóg Monika
Published: November 2020

Świętego Hieronima znamy przede wszystkim z komentarzy biblijnych oraz z Vulgaty, łacińskiego przekładu Biblii. Zmiana podejścia do Pisma Świętego zaproponowana przez Hieronima to bezsprzecznie jeden z momentów przełomowych, wręcz rewolucyjnych dla Kościoła IV i V wieku, moment wprowadzenia do intelektualnego i liturgicznego obiegu nowego tekstu, który z czasem utrwalił swą niezaprzeczalną pozycję na Zachodzie. W przekładzie tym Hieronim przyjął zasadę powrotu do veritas hebraica, jako nadrzędnej w interpretacji Starego Testamentu. Oczywiście w akceptacji tego stanowiska od razu pojawiło się wiele sprzeciwów oraz kontrowersji. Powstał dylemat: czy tłumaczyć z hebrajskiego jak chciał Hieronim, czy bronić kanoniczności Septuaginty, której podjął się św. Augustyn. W niniejszym artykule epizod ten, na podstawie korespondencji Hieronima z Augustynem, zostanie przedstawiony jako jeden z momentów przełomowych tego okresu, który utrwalił niezaprzeczalną pozycję tego tłumaczenia na Zachodzie.
Jan Chryzostom a duszpasterstwo osób nie mówiących po grecku
Authors: Szczur Piotr
Published: November 2020

This study offers some examples of John Chrysostom’s pastoral care for non- Greek- speaking peasants who lived around Antioch and spoke Syrian, and also the Goths present in Constantinople who spoke Gothic. The analysis of written sources allowed us to distinguish two main points in teaching the non- Greek- speaking congregation. The first one was based on directing the Word to foreigners in Greek but with a help from interpreters who simultaneously interpreted a homily or catechesis. The second one was based on delegating the teaching to priests or catechists of foreign origin so they could directly address a particular community in their own language. The study also brings to attention the cultural accommodation used by Chrysostom in his homily to Goths. From John Chrysostom’s pastoral experience it can be concluded that, apart from missionary fervour and communication context, not just anyone who was willing could be a keryx. He should show not only a religious zeal, know the Church teachings and the language of people, who he wants to evangelize, but also he should be familiar with mentality, culture and existential reality of recipients of the Word preached.
Cztery odrębne rodzaje czy cztery nierozłączne elementy modlitwy? Koncepcja modlitwy integralnej w ujęciu Orygenesa
Authors: Szram Mariusz
Published: November 2020

L’analyse de la nature et de la structure de la prière dans le traité De oratione d’Origène (vers 234), présentée dans cet article, démontre que cette oeuvre peut être considérée comme une synthèse de théorie de la prière, mais qu’elle n’est pas une conception définitive et précise de celle-ci. En suivant fidèlement l’enseignement de saint Paul (1Tm 2, 1), Origène distingue quatre genres de prière: supplication, action de grâce, imploration du pardon et louange; mais en même temps il est convaincu qu’en pratique ils ne doivent être séparés, car ils forment un act intégrale de la prière. Par exemple, l’imploration du pardon pour lui ne peut constituer à elle seule une prière autonome, mais doit être une condition nécessaire de préparation à chaque prière. De même, Origène considère l’adoration de Dieu comme un élément indispensable de chaque prière. La conception d’Origène a été reprise en Occident au Ve siècle par Jean Cassien et elle est devenue une base pour le développement postérieur de la théologie de la prière.

Published: November 2020

This study was carried out to determine the effects of wood vinegar (WV) used in different concentrations on nutrient composition, fermentation progress and microflora of grass silage. The study material was composed one control (0% WV) and three experimental groups consisting 0.5%, 1% and 2% WV, respectively. Each group was made with four replicates. WV was applied to the grass prepared from the natural meadow of Kafkas University and prepared in the laboratory scale conditions by spray method at the given rates (0.5%, 1% and 2%). The samples were ensiled in 1.0 L anaerobic jars. pH, dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber analyses were performed on the samples opened on the 60th day of fermentation. Also, microbiological analyses were performed for lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and mold by the plate count method. As a result of silage trials carried out under laboratory-scale conditions, WV did not affect nutritional values (P>0.05). The highest pH among the treatment groups was observed in the 2% WV added group (P<0.05). While the number of lactic acid bacteria in the WV groups (0.5 and 1%) did not change when compared to the control group (P>0.05), the highest (2%) concentration of WV showed significant antimicrobial activity on lactic acid bacteria (P<0.05). Also, it has been determined that WV may reduce yeast and mold growth compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Retos para propiciar una educación rural de calidad

El mundo de la educación rural en Colombia se puede leer como un modelo educativo maravilloso, donde la educación es lexible, personalizada y colaborativa; pero, lastimosamente, todo esto solo ha quedado plasmado en un simple papel, porque la realidad de las comunidades rurales en el ámbito escolar es otra; presenta múltiples falencias en cuanto a escolaridad y ayudas pedagógicas. Según el Ministerio de Educación Nacional, se puede considerar que la tasa de cobertura en las áreas rurales es del 30 %, comparada con el 65 % de las urbanas; la tasa de deserción a nivel rural es de 10,9 %, mientras en las ciudades es de 2,5 % y la participación en los programas de preescolar es de menos del 4 % en las zonas rurales. Es por eso que, a continuación, se encuentra los grandes retos para propiciar una educación rural de calidad.
Crtica o Božiću Vjenceslava Novaka ili kako istinske ljudske vrijednosti prevladavaju tminu realizma
Authors: Njegovan Diana
Published: November 2020

U radu je analizirana Crtica o Božiću Vjenceslava Novaka, s posebnim naglaskom na autobiografske i autoreferencijalne elemente, svjetonazor autora te ton djela. Crtica o Božiću unatoč svojoj kratkoći obiluje sadržajem. Djelo pruža nadu, vjeru u bolji, viši svijet. Ljubav prema obitelji u djelu ublažila je realnost neimaštine siromašnoga profesora i pisca koji s nelagodom iščekuje dolazak Božića jer ne može priuštiti darove svojoj mnogobrojnoj obitelji. Zanimljiva je i katolička inspiracija koja pruža optimizam u uobičajeno tamnom tonu realizma, predstavljenom kroz oskudicu i neimaštinu te zapostavljenost intelektualca koji obitava na socijalnoj periferiji.
U našoj književnosti realizma Novak zauzima značajno mjesto, unatoč tome što njegov opus nije do kraja popisan i istražen. Upravo Crtica o Božiću oslikava autobiografske i autoreferencijalne elemente pisca koji stvara iz potrebe. Proživljenost opisanoga stvorila je zanimljiv doprinos hrvatskog Balzaca, onoga koji je vjerno prikazivao siromahe na rubu egzistencije, uspjevši periferiju smjestiti u središte pozornosti onih koji čitaju te onih koji analiziraju i tumače njegovo stvaralaštvo.
Luci(ferov)jin strah
Authors: Mesić Hrvoje
Published: November 2020

Kršćanska sućut, kojom brani potlačene i ponižene, temeljna je odlika stvaralaštva Vjenceslava Novaka. Naime, tadašnja zaostalost Hrvatske, potaknuta povijesnim, ekonomskim, socijalnim i političkim prilikama, nije zaobišla tragičnu sudbinu malih ljudi. Ponajviše je to osjetio Novakov rodni Senj, što je pisac iskoristio nastojeći životne činjenice svoje lokalne sredine prikazati što realnije i objektivnije. Kasnije se, ističe Krešimir Nemec, pod utjecajem školovanja u Pragu i života u Zagrebu, Novak okreće urbanom iskustvu, odnosno problematiziranju tamnih strana gradskoga života. Stoga je Novakova umjetnost, prema Antunu Barcu, najveći dokument srca, duše, suosjećanja s patničkim ljudstvom i svim onim slojevima što teško i beznadno nose svoj trh života. Tadašnja slikarija Senja karakteristična simbolima patnje, prevarenosti, oskudice, nečovječnosti, slika je stanja duša žena – Valpurge i Lucije Stipančić – gdje jedino zrakom para kriki/ili bura, zvuk bola i odlaska u smrt, ostavljajući prazninu i retoričko pitanje: Zar ih je i Bog ostavio?! U radu se interdisciplinarnim pristupom, prvenstveno i ponajviše filološkim, detektira i tematizira motiv lica milosrđa oblikovanog u Novakovim heroinama romana Posljednji Stipančići. U licu se, kao ogledalu čovjekova srca i nutrine, zrcali najdublji identitet i jedinstveni obris čovjekova bića. Novak, odgojen kao kršćanin, oslikao je u svojim djelima lica poraženih i poniženih: sirotinje, prosjaka, ovisnika, siromašnih učenika i studenata te beskućnika– gledajući u njima lice skrivenoga Boga kojega treba spoznati.
Improving the diagnosis of AUS/FLUS thyroid nodules using an algorithm with combination of BRAFV600E mutation analysis and ultrasound pattern-based risk stratification
Authors: Zhou Ya-Fang , Zhang Yi-Feng , Fu Hui-Jun , Yang Wei-Ping , Zhao Chong-Ke , Xu Hui-Xiong
Published: November 2020

PURPOSE: To propose a diagnostic algorithm for improving the diagnosis of atypia of undetermined significance or follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) thyroid nodules. METHODS: This study retrospectively enrolled 77 consecutive patients with 81 AUS/FLUS nodules who underwent preoperative BRAFV600E mutation analysis. A new diagnostic algorithm was proposed that BRAFV600E mutation analysis for the Fine-needle aspiration cytology specimen was firstly carried out, in which positive BRAFV600E mutation indicated malignancy and classification of the nodules with negative BRAFV600E mutation was further performed based on ultrasound pattern-based risk stratification of American Thyroid Association Guidelines. The diagnostic performance of the new diagnostic algorithm was evaluated. RESULTS: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of new diagnostic algorithm were 94.6%, 84.0%, 91.4%, 86.9%, 90.1%, and 0.893, respectively. The proposed diagnostic algorithm significantly increased the diagnostic performances (AUROC: 0.893 vs. 0.837 and 0.795), sensitivity (94.6% vs. 71.4% and 75.0%), and accuracy (90.1% vs. 79.0% and 77.8%) compared with BRAFV600E mutation analysis alone and ultrasound pattern-based risk stratification alone (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The proposed diagnostic algorithm is helpful for improving the diagnosis of AUS/FLUS nodules, which might be as a routine approach.

Background: Circadian and sleep disturbances are associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Wearable activity trackers could provide a new approach in diagnosis and prevention. Objective: To evaluate sleep and circadian rhythm parameters, through wearable activity trackers, in MCI and AD patients as compared to controls, focusing on sex dissimilarities. Methods: Based on minute level data from consumer wearable devices, we analyzed actigraphic sleep parameters by applying an electromedical type I registered algorithm, and the corresponding circadian variables in 158 subjects: 86 females and 72 males (42 AD, 28 MCI, and 88 controls). Moreover, we used a confusion-matrix chart method to assess accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity of two decision-tree models based on actigraphic data in predicting disease or health status. Results: Wake after sleep onset (WASO) was higher (p < 0.001) and sleep efficiency (SE) lower (p = 0.003) in MCI, and Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) was lower in AD patients compared to controls (p = 0.004). SE was lower in male AD compared to female AD (p = 0.038) and SRI lower in male AD compared to male controls (p = 0.008), male MCI (p = 0.047), but also female AD subjects (p = 0.046). Mesor was significantly lower in males in the overall population. Age reduced the dissimilarities for WASO and SE but demonstrated sex differences for amplitude (p = 0.009) in the overall population, controls (p = 0.005), and AD subjects (p = 0.034). The confusion-matrices showed good predictive power of actigraphic data. Conclusion: Actigraphic data could help identify disease or health status. Sex (possibly gender) differences could impact on neurodegeneration and disease trajectory with potential clinical applications.

Published: November 2020

Background: Despite the abundance of research on computerized dementia screening tests, the attitudes of hospital personnel toward this screening method have not been investigated. Objective: 1) To conduct a confirmatory factor analysis of the first part of a two-part questionnaire about computerized dementia screening. 2) To assess the attitudes of Greek nurses toward computerized dementia screening. 3) To assess barriers to future implementation of computerized dementia screening in the Greek healthcare system, as reported by nurses. Methods: 161 Greek nurses from two urban public general hospitals who participated in a dementia training program were recruited. They were asked to complete a two-part questionnaire about computerized dementia screening. The first part of the questionnaire assesses attitudes toward dementia screening while the second part of the questionnaire assesses barriers to its implementation. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis on the first part of the questionnaire suggested a two-factor structure (feasibility/acceptability). The total score of all items loading on each factor was calculated. For feasibility, scores ranged between 10 and 25 (M = 19.38, SD = 3.80). For acceptability, scores ranged between 6 and 20 (M = 15.27, SD = 2.76). The main barriers to implementation were cost of equipment, insufficient training, lack of a plan for the integration of computerized screening tests in the daily routine of the hospital and time needed for staff training. Conclusion: The positive attitude of nurses supports the implementation of computerized dementia screening in public hospitals as long as identified barriers are addressed.
Science, numbers and politics in a “post-truth” world
Authors: Prutsch Markus J.
Published: November 2020

While science and politics operate according to different logics, they have become considerably intertwined over time. Two opposing, but interrelated, developments can be observed in this regard: on the one hand, a scientization of politics, since science is increasingly relied upon when political and social challenges are being addressed, manifest in the increasing involvement of experts and scientific (policy) advisors; on the other hand, a politicization of science, because of the increasing influence of political decision makers on the objects, methods and processes of scientific research and funding. Both developments are accompanied by clear risks, and open debate is needed about what scientific evidence – which is often expressed and mediated by means of numbers – can realistically do in and for politics. This is especially true at a time characterized by widespread distrust of experts and even facts, and a re-ideologization of politics that is perhaps best captured by the popular expression of “post-truth politics”.
Of numbers, narratives and challenges: Data as evidence in 21st century policy-making
Authors: Umbach Gaby
Published: November 2020

This article1 offers reflections on the use of data as evidence in 21st century policy-making. It discusses the concept of evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) as well as the governance and knowledge effects of data as evidence. With this focus, it interlinks the analysis of statistics and politics. The paper first introduces the concept of EIPM and the impact of evidence use. Here it focusses on science and knowledge as resources in policy-making, on the institutionalisation of science advice and on the translation of information and knowledge into evidence. The second part of the article reflects on data as evidence. This part concentrates on abstract and concrete functions of data as governance tools in policy-making, on data as a robust form of evidence and on the effects of data on knowledge and governance. The third part highlights challenges for data as evidence in policy-making, among them, politicisation, transparency, and diversity as well as objectivity and contestation. Finally, the last part draws conclusions on the production and use of data as evidence in EIPM. Throughout the second part of the reflections, reference is made to Walter Radermacher’s 2019 matrix of actors and activities related to data, facts, and policy published in this journal.
Assessment of the quality of administrative data for use in a population census; applying census test results in Indonesia
Authors: Albertha Winida , Midayanti Nurma , Firdaus Putri I. , Kosasih Ahmad
Published: November 2020

BPS-Statistics Indonesia plans to carry out its seventh population census in 2020. In contrast to the traditional method in previous censuses, it will use administrative data obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs combined with field enumeration. Individual information recorded in the administrative data will be used as the initial data source for the field enumeration as well as to ensure adequate coverage. These changes could be a step towards a register-based census in the future. Given the important role of register data in the upcoming Indonesian census, it is necessary to assess the quality of the administrative data which have been recorded by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze whether there are significant differences on selected individual variables between the data from the administrative source and the census test results. The census test was conducted in three selected villages using multi-mode data collection. The comparison of the selected individual variables and the statistical test results indicate that this administrative data is of sufficient quality to be used as the data source for a combined method census in Indonesia.
Towards big data as official statistics: Case study of the use of mobile positioning data to delineate metropolitan areas in Indonesia
Authors: Noviyanti Isnaeni , Prabawa Panca D. , Sari Dwi Puspita , Koswara Ade , Lestari Titi Kanti , Fahyuananto M. Hanif , Setiawan Edi
Published: November 2020

Nowadays, the use of so-called big data as a new data source to complement official statistics has become an opportunity for organizations focusing on statistics. The use of big data can lead to a more efficient data collection. However, currently, there has not been any standard business process for big data collection and processing in BPS-Statistics Indonesia. Meanwhile, the adoption of technologies alone cannot determine the success of big data use. It is widely known that big data use can be challenging, since there are issues regarding data access, quality, and methodology, as well as the development of required skillsets. This paper proposes a framework for a business process that is specifically designed to support the use of big data for official statistics at BPS-Statistics Indonesia along with how existing technology will support it. The development of this framework is based on the wider Statistical Business Process Framework and Architecture (SBFA) developed by BPS-Statistics Indonesia to describe and manage its overall statistical business processes. The paper uses the example of the use of Mobile Positioning Data (MPD) as a big data source to delineate Metropolitan Areas in Indonesia as a way to explain the implementation of the framework.

With the adoption of Semantic Web technologies, an increasing number of vocabularies and ontologies have been developed in different domains, ranging from Biology to Agronomy or Geosciences. However, many of these ontologies are still difficult to find, access and understand by researchers due to a lack of documentation, URI resolving issues, versioning problems, etc. In this chapter we describe guidelines and best practices for creating accessible, understandable and reusable ontologies on the Web, using standard practices and pointing to existing tools and frameworks developed by the Semantic Web community. We illustrate our guidelines with concrete examples, in order to help researchers implement these practices in their future vocabularies.

One of the most important goals of digital humanities is to provide researchers with data and tools for new research questions, either by increasing the scale of scholarly studies, linking existing databases, or improving the accessibility of data. Here, the FAIR principles provide a useful framework. Integrating data from diverse humanities domains is not trivial, research questions such as “was economic wealth equally distributed in the 18th century?”, or “what are narratives constructed around disruptive media events?”) and preparation phases (e.g. data collection, knowledge organisation, cleaning) of scholars need to be taken into account. In this chapter, we describe the ontologies and tools developed and integrated in the Dutch national project CLARIAH to address these issues across datasets from three fundamental domains or “pillars” of the humanities (linguistics, social and economic history, and media studies) that have paradigmatic data representations (textual corpora, structured data, and multimedia). We summarise the lessons learnt from using such ontologies and tools in these domains from a generalisation and reusability perspective.

Ontologies of research areas have been proven to be useful resources for analysing and making sense of scholarly data. In this chapter, we present the Computer Science Ontology (CSO), which is the largest ontology of research areas in the field, and discuss a number of applications that build on CSO to support high-level tasks, such as topic classification, metadata extraction, and recommendation of books.
Reasoning About Typicality and Probabilities in Preferential Description Logics

Published: November 2020

In this work we describe preferential Description Logics of typicality, a nonmonotonic extension of standard Description Logics by means of a typicality operator T allowing to extend a knowledge base with inclusions of the form T(C) ⊑ D, whose intuitive meaning is that “normally/typically Cs are also Ds”. This extension is based on a minimal model semantics corresponding to a notion of rational closure, built upon preferential models. We recall the basic concepts underlying preferential Description Logics. We also present two extensions of the preferential semantics: on the one hand, we consider probabilistic extensions, based on a distributed semantics that is suitable for tackling the problem of commonsense concept combination, on the other hand, we consider other strengthening of the rational closure semantics and construction to avoid the so called “blocking of property inheritance problem”.

BACKGROUND: Assessment of buccal alveolar bone thickness (ABT) and crown-to-root dimensions are essential in implant density; therefore, three-dimensional evaluation of these parameters provides a superior visualization than conventional radiographs. OBJECTIVE: The present cross-sectional cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between buccal ABT and crown-to-root dimensions around the mandibular first and second molars using cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS: Initially, CBCT-based scans from 271 individuals were assessed. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 171 CBCT-based scans were excluded. In total, 100 CBCT-scans were included in the present investigation and processed for data extraction. On the mandibular first and second molars, the mesial and distal root lengths and mesiodistal diameter of the crowns were measured. The pulpal floor served as a reference point for assessment of root length. The buccal ABT was measured at the coronal, middle and apical one-third of the root. Statistical analysis was performed and the level of significance was set at P< 0.01. One-hundred CBCT-scans from 294 mandibular teeth (137 first molars and 157 second molars) were included. One hundred and eighty-nine and 105 teeth were from males and females, respectively. RESULTS: The normality plot showed a normal data distribution. The mesiodistal crown width showed a weak yet significant correlation with mesial root length (r= 0.137), bone thickness at mesial apical third (r= 0.180), distal apical (r= 0.157) and distal coronal third (r= 0.161). Bone thickness at mesial, middle and apical third correlated significantly with one other (r= 0.786). CONCLUSION: There is a direct correlation between the buccal ABT and tooth dimensions around the mandibular first and second molars.

The article is devoted to one of the most urgent problems in cervicology — diseases associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is known that one of the co-risk factors for HPV persistence is a decrease in local immunity (deficiency of macrophages). The problem of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) management is actualized by the tendency to increase this disease incidence; as a rule, the treatment of such patients consists in removing the infected tissue. Given that even after complete removal of HPV-infected tissues, CIN relapse may occur; national and foreign scientific literature increasingly focuses on auxiliary immunotherapy not only as prevention of relapses but also to stimulate the body’s defences. This publication uses a clinical example to consider patient management with a clinical form of HPV infection (genital papules) and a subclinical form (mild intraepithelial lesion). Immunotherapy use in the treatment of patients with HPV-associated diseases increases the efficacy of the main therapy and leads to HPV elimination.Keywords: human papillomavirus, neoplasia, papules, LSIL, phagocyte, immunomodulator, COX-2, Polyoxidonium.For citation: Rogovskaya S.I., Bebneva T.N.

Aim: to describe the course of perinatal period in children with echogenic intracardiac focus (EIF) diagnosed in the antenatal period.Patients and Methods: in this case-control study, the groups were similar in age, obstetric history, and somatic status of mothers. Group 1 included 214 pregnant women whose fetus (newborn later) was diagnosed with EIF. Inclusion criteria were an echoic focus within the fetal heart (by prenatal ultrasound) as well as pregnancy follow-up and childbirth in the Perinatal Center of Tyumen city. Group 2 included 107 pregnant women whose fetus (newborn later) had no this sonographic sign. Retrospective analysis of the course of antenatal and intranatal periods of newborns with EIF was performed. The course of early neonatal period was described. Placental histology (n = 69) and autopsies of perinatal losses (n=12) were discussed.Results: it was demonstrated that EIFs identified for the first time after 20 weeks of gestation persist after delivery much more common (p<0.01) when associated with impaired fetoplacental circulation. More than 50% of mothers (p>0.01) whose fetuses were diagnosed with EIF had patho-logical pregnancy. During the delivery, clinical signs of chronic hypoxia in newborns with EIF were identified twice as common as in newborns without EIF (p=0.029). Moreover, none of the children had typical signs of Down syndrome while the number of preterm newborns was simi-lar (p>0.05). Only newborns with EIF were diagnosed with different types of birth defects (7.94%) and generalized cytomegalovirus infection (1.46%). Hypoxic cardiopathy (that illustrates cardiovascular deadaptation) was 3.2 times more common in newborns with EIF (p=0.005) Conclusion: combination of EIF (2.67±0.9 mm) localized in the left or right ventricle and other sonographic signs, central nervous system defects and/or cardiovascular abnormalities require screening for perinatal infections as well as uterine and umbilical artery Doppler to minimize the risk of perinatal events.Keywords: perinatal period, echogenic intracardiac focus, newborns, perinatal losses, congenital anomaly, hypoxic cardiopathy, sonographic sign.For citation: Malinina E.I., Rychkova O.A., Chernysheva T.V.

Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is an important issue. The prevalence of IDA in women of reproductive age and women in perimenopause is high and has no tendency to reduce. Pharmacoeconomic aspects and recent data on clinical efficacy of iron supplements for obstetrical gy-necological disorders are addressed. The authors review international and domestic published data on iron supplements prescribed in women with obstetrical gynecological diseases. The paper describes the results of cost-effectiveness analysis and clinical trials published earlier that compare the efficacy of the treatment with iron supplements in women who experienced IDA or gynecological disorders complicated by iron deficiency during the pregnancy. One of the bivalent iron retard preparations, Tardyferon®, is discussed. In addition, Tardyferon® is compared with similar iron supplements and Fe(III)-hydroxide-polymaltose complex. Pharmacoeconomic utility of bivalent iron preparation from the viewpoint of the patient and the doctor is validated.Keywords: pharmacoeconomic analysis, iron deficiency, iron-deficiency anemia, pregnancy, iron supplements, bivalent iron.For citation: Dobrokhotova Yu.E., Markova E.A.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Intense research on dementia has been conducted during the last years. As advances in the field have started changing the landscape of dementia treatment, it is necessary to assess the impact of novel therapeutic modalities.

Purpose: The current evidence about hypoxic – hyperoxic treatment for dementia is reviewed in this article.

Methods: We conducted a thorough PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar search.

Results: Preclinical and clinical data are available. Hypoxic – hyperoxic treatment is encouraged in the context of the multimodal treatment of dementia. There are concerns about the recovery of memory with regard to specific modalities of this treatment. Future perspectives are highlighted in the light of potentially useful biomarkers and health policy.

Conclusion: While constant updates and further research is critical to understand the impact of hypoxic – hyperoxic treatment in dementia, the available studies are limited and, hence, research that is more extensive is necessary. Currently, it is important to assess the current state of knowledge highlighting the success but also the stalemates of this treatment

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), is a rare disorder during childhood, and it can trigger serious consequences in the future if not treated promptly. The existing diagnostic methods for this disorder are found in the English language only, which leads to difficulties in finding valid and agreed diagnostic methods by speech therapists to apply to the Spanish-speaking population. Hence, this study aims to provide the translation of an evaluation tool which is suitable for Spanishspeaking countries and that facilitates phonoaudiological work in the diagnosis. The method that will be used is that of translation-retranslation, to which the analysis of an expert opinion will be incorporated to give validity to the instrument. The results expose a wide acceptance of the instrument (94% of positive results) with substantial agreement among experts (IRR inter rater reliability), presented as agreement probability for the entire instrument of 0.57 (57%). In conclusion, this study provides a research pattern for AHI, to facilitate the early phonoaudiological evaluation of children, allowing the patients to access reliable care regarding to diagnosis.
