Authors: Costa Aelton Dias , Silva José Augusto Lopes da , Oliveira Rita Denize de , Rodrigues Eliana Teles
Published: December 2022

A segurança alimentar nas cidades tem tomado atenção de estudos devido cenário preocupante de baixa disponibilidade de alimentos saudáveis e alta infração dos preços acompanhada de desemprego, além disso, a crescente aglomeração em áreas urbanas provoca degradação ambiental contribuindo para desiquilíbrios climáticos locais, regionais e até globais, é neste sentido que a agroecologia nas cidades tem sido tomada como ferramental para construção pratica de cidades mais ecológicas, resilientes e inteligentes. O estudo apresenta diferentes experiências agroecológicas desenvolvidas na Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB) a partir de um estudo documental e bibliográfico com levantamento de dados em plataformas oficiais e redes sociais com o objetivo de compreender o potencial agroecológico da RMB para políticas públicas relacionadas a segurança alimentar, pleno emprego, resiliência social e ambiental e mitigação das mudanças climáticas. A pesquisa analisou diferentes tipologias territoriais de uso do espaço urbano e periurbano, classificadas em Quilombos Urbanos, Assentamentos de Reforma Agraria, Quintais Urbanos, hortas Comunitárias e Hortas Escolares, agro extrativismo urbano. Concluiu-se que as práticas desenvolvidas na RMB correspondem a experiências coletivas e individuais de caráter ecológico e social atrelados a saberes tradicionais com potenciais de economias populares capazes de fomentar transformações reais do espaço urbano.
Material traces of past cultures as a motive for the creation of Spanish place names
Authors: Ruhstaller Stefan , Gordón Peral María Dolores
Published: December 2022

Place names referencing the material traces of past cultures are relatively common in the microtoponymy, of Spanish-speaking areas. Since they were created by rural speech communities completely lacking in historical and archaeological culture, they make it possible to reconstruct how realities of archaeological interest (fragments of tools and building materials, ruins of buildings, dolmens, menhirs, tombs, old coins, inscriptions, engraved or painted cave art, among others) were popularly perceived and interpreted long before becoming objects of scientific study. Taking an extensive toponymic corpus as its starting point, this paper presents an exhaustive classification of such names, differentiating those of a purely descriptive nature from those intended to provide answers to questions concerning the origins, age, and purpose of the enigmatic discoveries. This toponomastic analysis facilitates the rigorous study of the process of onymic creation and its underlying motives.
From Pasir Ris to Pioneer: Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) names in relation to its identity.
Authors: Lim Tyan Gin Shaun , Perono Cacciafoco Francesco
Published: December 2022

This article examines the station names of 142 Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations across Singapore’s five fully operational MRT lines using primary sources (digitised newspapers, maps, and press releases) and secondary sources (scholarly research on Singapore place names and information from government agencies). There are two research objectives: firstly, to determine the common naming strategies of Singapore’s MRT station names, and secondly, to analyse features of Singapore’s socio-political and linguistic identity by studying these names. Common naming patterns of Singapore’s station names include associative names, where the station is named after nearby physical or man-made features; descriptive names, where the name describes a particular aspect of the area; and eponymous names, where the station is named after a famous person or entity. We argue that station names reflect the state’s language and socio-political policies and shed deeper light on some of the complex and contradictory forces at play in the nation’s linguistic and socio-political identity. Singapore’s language shift towards English is evident as English is frequently used to name stations, particularly among newer MRT lines, where the public can suggest and vote on station names. At the same time, there are toponyms in local languages like Malay that serve as indexes of localness of the area around the station, showing the cultural dimension that station names have as metaphors for the area’s history and heritage. Yet, Singapore’s pragmatic socio-political identity ultimately means that the practical, referential function of names takes precedence over the cultural functions of naming.
O stosunkowo rzadkim i zagadkowym nazwisku Kurdyła. Motywacja, pochodzenie, geografia, budowa
Authors: Kurdyła Tomasz
Published: December 2022

The surname Kurdyła has been noted in the great dictionaries of Polish anthroponyms, but the ori-gin and structure ascribed to it have aroused some doubts. The reason for this is that the geography of the surname and its peasant origin were not taken into account. Therefore, the article discuss-es in detail the occurrence of this and similar anthroponyms within and outside Poland, as well as a detailed overview of all possible derivative databases and interpretations regarding its structure. These analyses lead to the conclusion that the surname Kurdyła is of Lemko origin, it was probably created from the appellative курділь ‘an ulcer on a horse’s tongue;tongue disease in cattle’. Apart from this interpretation, it is also possible to derive the surname from the lexeme with the root kurt- ‘short; truncated; lame’, probably from Hungarian.
Translating intertextuality in animated films – an analysis of DreamWorks, Disney and Pixar animations
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Wojciechowska-Pieszko Anna
Published: December 2022

Intertextuality focuses on the relationship between different texts, either spoken or written. These connections have been the subject of research for many scholars around the world and initially were discussed mainly from the point of view of literary theory (Tomaszkiewicz, 2006, p. 175). The aim of this paper is to examine intertextual references in the context of translation theory, taking into account the various techniques and strategies employed when translating direct or indirect references in a dubbing format. The author analy-ses dialogues from the DreamWorks production “Shrek”(2001), the Disney films “Zootopia” (2016) and “Wreck-It-Ralph”(2012), as well as the Pixar Animation Studios film “Toy Story 3”(2010) with the aim of identifying intertextual references in the source text and comparing them with their Polish and German translations. The author also considers the sources of intertextuality in animation films and the translator’s role in decontextualizing this genre in the target language, drawing attention to the issue of discourse and the agency of audiovisual translators.
Arka Noego – o różnorodności semantyczno-strukturalnej nazw zakładów leczniczych dla zwierząt (na materiale Północno-Wschodniej Izby Lekarsko-Weterynaryjnej)
Authors: Saniewska Diana
Published: December 2022

In this article, the author discusses the names of veterinary clinics (animal treatment facilities). The research material, including 339 names, was obtained from the “Register of veterinary practices as of 17.12.2021”, kept by the North-Eastern Veterinary Chamber, which supervises the veterinary profession in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. 164 proper firmonyms were excerpted from it, characterized in terms of structure and seman-tics, and assigned to the semantic fields: biosphere, anthroposphere, (veterinary) medicine, and services. Non-semantic elements of firmonyms were analysed as well.The conclusions show that the owners of veterinary practices have high onomastics competence, which allows them to invent semantically creative names for their companies, but are not as innovative in the field of graphic design. Most of them invoke positive emotional attitudes, which reflects the high position of animals in modern culture. The material acquired reveals further research perspectives and leads to the conclusion that onomastic data may become an interesting complement to animal studies, an interdisciplin-ary field of humanities and social studies research.Considering the fact that so far the names of veterinary clinics were are not included in linguistic reflection, this work is a preliminary effort in this field.
Rzeczownik demoralizacja w polskim dyskursie parlamentarnym
Authors: Lisczyk Karolina
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is an attempt to answer the following questions: how have the contexts of use of the noun demoralization changed in the Polish parliamentary discourse in the last century, and what specific rules of conduct must be exceeded in order for certain actions or attitudes to be described as such. 1885 sentences obtained from the resources of the Polish Parliamentary Corpus, recorded since 1919 until the end of June 2022, were analyzed. The material was divided into three periods (1919–1939, 1945–1989, 1990–2022), and then discussed in the context of topics with which the phenomenon of demoralization was associated in partic-ular time periods. Research has shown that the noun demoralization describes the problems of breaking legal, social and moral norms important in given periods, it can also serve propaganda purposes or strengthen the message presented. However, there are moral standards, the violation of which is not called demoralization.
Analytical grammar forms extraction as a new challenge for corpora (Case of conditional mood in Polish and Ukrainian)
Authors: Fokin Serhii
Published: December 2022

A particular challenge for modern textual corpora is the tagging of analytical grammar categories. The com-ponents of these categories may be separated in certain contexts by other words or may even be inverted. A particular interest regarding the selection of analytical grammatical forms is centred around the conditional mood in some Slavic languages, as expressed by means of two words: a past verb form and the particle by/б/би/бы, which is why in most modern corpora, this category lacks a specific tag for these compound forms. The case of Polish is particularly complicated because the particle by may either be merged with the parti-ciple or used separately; furthermore, its separated form may contain a personal verb ending. Specific que-ries subject to experiment on Polish and Ukrainian corpora allow selecting the analytical forms in question.

Authors: Nwaiku Mitaire Sunday , Ejechi Jones
Published: December 2022

This study examined the relationship between inventory management practices and productivity of selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The inventory management practices examined include inventory record accuracy, lean inventory system, buffer stock management and Information and Communication Technology. In addition, organizational productivity was measured along two dimensions namely: organizational effectiveness and organizational efficiency. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprises employees in the following departments – commercial, finance, production, distribution and inventory – of five selected manufacturing companies in Benin City. A sample size of two hundred and sixteen (216) employees from Seven-Up Bottling Company Ltd, Global Horn Industry PVC Ceiling Limited, Integrated Rubber product Nigeria Plc., Livestock Feeds Plc and Nigeria German Chemicals in Nigeria were selected for the study. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Data collected from the questionnaire were analysed using frequency distribution, mean, correlation and regression. All analyses were done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings of the study revealed that inventory record accuracy, lean inventory system and information technology have a positive and significant effect on organizational productivity in Nigeria while buffer stock management was found to be insignificant. The study recommends the need for manufacturing firms to improve their inventory record accuracy by using system-based inventory management practices to enhance organisational performance.

Published: December 2022

This study was designed to find the nexus between corporate governance and the concern of Nigeria DMBs with the specific role of audit committee financial expertise. Corporate governance is being used by stakeholders to determine the perpetual succession of business organization. This is prevalent in the DMBs and it has led to the expansion in the activities of DMBs as well as dynamic relationships between the management of DMBs and their owners. In lieu of this, this study sought to investigate this issue in the context of Nigeria. The research approach adopted for this study was quantitative. In addition, purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 8 DMBs listed from the sample frame obtained from NSE for the period 2014 - 2021. Using pooled OLS, the study revealed that ACFE has significant impact on DLLP as indicated by coefficient 98.843 with a p-value of 0.005, management equity holding has no significant impact on DLLP with coefficient 14.719 & p-value of 0.082 at 5% level of significance. Therefore, the study recommends that DMBs should increase the proportion of audit financial expertise with accounting background in the committee in order to enhance prudence and accountability. By this, it will boost the investors’ confidence as well as enhance their reputation and ensure their long-term prosperity.
Financial reporting preparer’s satisfaction and intention to switch to XBRL reporting: A Model
Authors: Uyob Roslee , Bahador Ku Maisurah Ku , Saad Ram Al Jaffri
Published: December 2022

The objective of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework for understanding financial reporting preparers’ satisfaction and intention to switch from conventional to XBRL reporting. Based on the review and synthesis of relevant literature from prior XBRL adoption research, technology usage behavior, and the user satisfaction element in information system studies, gaps have been identified and a conceptual framework has been developed. This framework includes eight constructs, i.e., perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived compatibility, information quality, service quality, system quality, preparer’s satisfaction, and the intention to switch to XBRL reporting. The framework can be used to conduct research and establish appropriate XBRL plans. Furthermore, by leveraging the benefits of XBRL, this framework will assist decision-makers in formulating strategies. Nevertheless, this study is limited to identifying gaps and to suggesting new conceptual frameworks based on previous literature and empirical studies. Thus, this paper implies that further empirical research be conducted to validate the suggested integrated model.
Perceived Organizational Support and Voice Behavioural Performance in Public Organizations in Nigeria
Authors: Akhimien Okharedia Goodheart , Kadiri Alasa Paul
Published: December 2022

This study investigated the relationship between perceived organisational support and voice behavioural performance in selected public sector organisations in Nigeria. Two dimensions of employees’ voice behavioural performance, which are, promotive voice behavioural performance and prohibitive voice behavioural performance were empirically examined. The organisational support dimensions explored are: employers support, supervisors support, and fellow employees support. A survey research design which employed the use of the questionnaire was used to collect the needed date from the respondents. Data which was generated from three hundred and fifty selected respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages analysis and inferential statistics such as multiple regression. The result of the study revealed that all the three dimensions of organisational support examined, that is,  employers support, supervisors support, and fellow employees support were significantly related to promotive voice behavioural performance and prohibitive voice behavioural performance. It is recommended that public sector organisations in Nigeria should provide more support to its employees; direct heads of units and departments in the various ministries and government institutions to put measures in place to improve the well-being of their subordinates and also encourage employees to engage in prosocial behaviour as this might enhance behavioural voice performance.

Published: December 2022

Ekonomik büyüme sürecinde sanayi sektörü özel bir yere sahiptir. Ancak ülkelerin sanayileşme sürecinde önemli olan sanayi üretimi istenilen seviyeye ulaşmadan düşmekte ve ülkeler erken bir süreçte sanayileşme hedefinden vazgeçmektedir. Tarım ekonomilerinin zamanla sanayi ekonomilerine dönüşüm geçirmesi üç sektör kuramının ilk gelişim basamağını oluşturmaktadır. Bir ülkenin fiziki sermaye birikiminin oluşması sonucunda ekonomik büyümenin gerçekleşeceği savunulmaktadır. Kaldor’un ekonomik büyüme ve sanayi üretimi arasındaki pozitif yönlü ilişkisi ampirik olarak birçok araştırmacı tarafından araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sanayi sektörü katma değerinin fiziksel ve beşerî sermaye birikimindeki gelişmelerden nasıl ve ne yönde etkileneceği araştırılmıştır. Bunun için 34 OECD ülkesine ait 1996-2018 yılları arası yıllık veriler üzerinden elde edilen Driscoll-Kraay Standart Hatalar Tahmincisi sonucunda, fiziksel sermayedeki iyileşmelerin sanayi sektörü katma değerini olumlu yönde etkilediği bulunmuştur. Buna karşın beşerî sermaye harcamalarındaki artışın ise sanayi sektörünün payını azalttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2022

This article presents the longitudinal study results dedicated to evaluation of formal-logical and dialectical thinking development in senior preschool children (5—6 and then 6—7 years old) as well as in elementary school children (7—8 years old). The formal—logical thinking study included 58 children. We used Piaget tests: “Probability”, “Scales” and “Cylinder”. The dialectical thinking study included 92 children. We evaluated three techniques: “Drawing an unusual tree”, “What can be both at the same time?” and “Cycles”. Data of 52 children who participated in the study at the age of 5—6 years old and 7—8 years old were used for the correlation analysis. The research results showed that the preschool age is sensitive for the development of formal operations as well as dialectical thought activities. A positive correlation was identified between the ability of 5—6 and 7—8 years old children to coordinate two differently directed movements to create a holistic image and overcome contradictions. It was also found that during the transition to learning at school, indicators for solving a creative problem (which involved the independent construction of opposite objects) decreased

Authors: Zolotareva A.A.
Published: December 2022

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15) is a self-report measure assessing presence and severity of somatic symptoms [15]. The aim of this study was to standardize the Russian version of PHQ-15. The study included 1157 respondents from the general population aged 18 to 71. In addition to the PHQ-15, the participants completed the Russian Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), evaluating the psychological distress symptoms. The results showed that 91% of the respondents reported at least one symptom bothering them in the past four weeks. Regarding gender and age specifics of somatization, the most predisposed to the psychosomatic burden were females and persons aged 35-49 years. Moreover, 28.2% of the respondents demonstrated a high level of somatization, as well as increased scores of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to the participants with low and moderate psychosomatic burden. In conclusion, the Russian version of PHQ-15 has been successfully standardized and can be recommended for screening and monitoring of medically unexplained symptoms.
Assessing Use of Language as Mediating Mean in Science Teaching in Activity Theory Terms: A Discourse Analysis in Socioculturally Diverse Classroom Settings in Greece
Authors: Lathouris D.
Published: December 2022

In this study, language is considered as mediating mean in science teaching within socioculturally diverse settings. It assesses how language can work in activity theory terms to understand scientific concepts. The particular interest concerns the nature of the Greek language which can give chances to approach more systematically scientific concepts. This research was conducted in two different classes of 5th grade pupils with socioculturally diverse characteristics in a Greek primary school through a discourse analysis tool that was used in other researches about science teaching. Language use took place in the context of activity theory, being a mediating mean. The results of the present study, lead to the conclusion that use of language in science teaching even in socioculturally diverse classroom settings can contribute to a better understanding of the scientific concepts, making scientific language familiar to pupils and facilitating them to appropriate it more effectively.
Multi-Stage Protection Using Pixel Selection Technique for Enhancing Steganography
Authors: Abuzanouneh Khalil Ibrahim Mohammad , Hadwan Mohammed
Published: December 2022

Steganography and data security are extremely important for all organizations. This research introduces a novel stenographic method called multi-stage protection using the pixel selection technique (MPPST). MPPST is developed based on the features of the pixel and analysis technique to extract the pixel's characteristics and distribution of cover-image. A pixel selection technique is proposed for hiding secret messages using the feature selection method. The secret file is distributed and embedded randomly into the stego-image to make the process of the steganalysis complicated.  The attackers not only need to deter which pixel values have been selected to carry the secret file, they also must rearrange the correct sequence of pixels. MPPST generates a complex key that indicates where the encrypted elements of the binary sequence of a secret file are. The analysis stage undergoes four stages, which are the calculation of the peak signal-to-noise ratio, mean squared error, histogram analysis, and relative entropy. These four stages are used to demonstrate the characteristics of the cover image. To evaluate the proposed method, MPPST is compared to the standard technique of Least Significant Bit (LSB) and other algorithms from the literature. The experimental results show that MPPST outperforms other algorithms for all instances and achieves a significant security enhancement.
O Direito à Própria Imagem em sua Dimensão Pessoal-Patrimonial: A Personalidade em Oposição ao Interesse Público
Authors: Siqueira Marcelo Sampaio , Nogueira Mônica de Sá Pinto
Published: December 2022

À medida que a sociedade evolui o Direito também se transforma, dando ensejo ao surgimento dos direitos da personalidade, que consistem em direitos reconhecidos ao homem. Por conseguinte, em virtude do avanço da tecnologia, que possibilitou a captação, reprodução e divulgação da imagem em tempo real, o direito à imagem ganhou espaço e importância no século XX. Não obstante, a reprodução desmedida das imagens pode causar danos tanto morais como materiais ao seu titular, obrigando à proteção jurídica. Nesse sentido, o Código Civil brasileiro, promulgado em 2002, consolida o direito à imagem que a doutrina e a jurisprudência vinham ao longo do tempo desenvolvendo, haja vista que vinculou a proteção da imagem à lesão da honra ou ao seu aproveitamento econômico. Ante a realidade do mundo globalizado, o direito manifesta-se no sentido de conferir guarida à imagem, concedendo-lhe caráter absoluto e exclusivo, o que implica sua proteção autônoma. Nesse âmbito, impende defender que o direito de imagem constitui um direito de personalidade. Para que seja alcançado o eixo principal do presente estudo, utilizou-se a metodologia dedutiva através de pesquisas qualitativas, as quais possuem embasamento em doutrinas, legislações e jurisprudências atuais. Os resultados apresentados apontam que a jurisprudência brasileira, assim como a mundial, apresenta inúmeros precedentes, sendo possível afirmar que em nossos tribunais o direito à privacidade, no tocante à imagem, deve ser mitigado quando o divulgado for uma personalidade pública ou o fato ser de interesse público, respeitando as especificidades de caso a caso, como, por exemplo, o veiculador e a situação da divulgação.
Os Limites da Liberdade Negocial nos Acordos de Colaboração Premiada, na Jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal
Authors: Franco Raphael Diniz Mendes de Araujo , Cordeiro Nefi
Published: December 2022

A partir da introdução dos procedimentos da colaboração premiada, através da Lei 12.850/2013, sua aplicação no Brasil tornou-se muito grande, com eficiência reconhecida no âmbito do nascedouro da Operação Lava Jato. Os acordos negociados na colaboração inovaram em condições e benefícios, esgarçamento ou violando limites legais e assim gerando questionamentos judiciais acerca da validade de cláusulas com benefícios premiais extralegais. Em um primeiro momento nosso Supremo Tribunal Federal chancelou tais acordos, mas, posteriormente, reconheceu, em decisões monocráticas, a invalidade dos termos que exorbitavam dos limites impostos pela Lei de Organização Criminosa. Este artigo analisará os fundamentos adotados pelo Pretório Excelso para acolher ou rejeitar as inovações de prêmios extralegais, com foco em duas decisões paradigmáticas no tema.

O alcance da outra pessoa, a capacidade de ver o mundo através de seus olhos e perguntar por suas dores e necessidades parece cada vez mais distante dos técnicos, puros e formais domínios da ciência do direito. Faltam essas sensibilidades em direito. No entanto, se anestesiada em direito, a compreensão sensível do mundo e dos seres permanece guardada nas obras literárias. E parece também permanecer guardada nos estudos de direitos humanos, que ainda persistem num direito um pouco mais consciente de seus sentidos compassivos de justiça. Com esse propósito, o presente estudo busca explorar as intersecções entre literatura, sensibilidades e direitos humanos, numa dinâmica eticamente fundada pelo cuidar. Cuidados em direitos humanos transbordam nas sensíveis entrelinhas da literatura. Nessa medida que é profundamente significante, e pode-se dizer revolucionária, pois emotiva, empática, poética, de traços femininos e essenciais a sensibilizar e cuidar em direitos humanos. O estudo utiliza do método de abordagem dedutivo-hipotético e das técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.

Authors: Jayaram Shreya , Rao Raghavendra
Published: December 2022

Background: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of SARS COVID-19 patients in Karnataka state, India and to evaluate risk factors and laboratory abnormalities leading to adverse outcomes. Radiological chest x-ray features of patients were studied and further elaborated upon.Methods: A hospital-based, single centre observational prospective study was conducted which included 144 adults with confirmed cases of SARI as per the accepted definition admitted to Kasturba hospital, Manipal in a one-month time frame period who tested positive for the coronavirus. Symptoms taken into consideration were cough, sore throat, breathlessness, and fatigue commonly seen co-morbidities were diabetes, hypertension, IHD and chronic kidney disease. Laboratory variables taken were haemoglobin, CRP, urea, creatinine, NT-Pro BNP and LDH.  Final outcome measured was the need for mechanical ventilation which correlates to disease severity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done for NLR ratio. Also evaluated was the abnormal radiological appearance of affected patients on chest X-ray describing baseline status and distribution of infiltrates.Results: Median age of patients was 58 years, 69.4% males (100) and the remaining 30.6% females (44). The mean symptom duration before hospitalization was 3.5 days with a maximum of 30 days and minimum of 1 day. Breathlessness (52.8%) was most commonly seen symptom with almost half (50%) patients having pre-existing hypertension as a co-morbid condition. 46.5% patients had pre-existing diabetes. Abnormal lab values of parameters studied was shown to have a positive association with disease severity. Chi square statistics for decreased haemoglobin was 18.5363, urea-44.6823, creatinine-33.4771, NT PRO BNP-39.812, LDH- 81.3515, with p<0.00001 in all cases. An elevated NLR ratio was found in most patients requiring mechanical ventilation with a significant p<0.05. The 59.7% patients had bilateral lung involvement on CXR with 38.9% showing basal infiltration.Conclusions: Early detection of laboratory abnormalities in haemoglobin, urea, creatinine, NT pro BNP, LDH and NLR ratio were found to be efficacious in forecasting need for mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients and can help better predict patient outcomes to avoid delays in management and care.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy caused by entrapment of the median nerve at the wrist. CTS is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. CTS, in the form of median nerve entrapment, remains a perplexing and debilitating disorder. We report a comparative study between the Boston questionnaire (BQ) and median nerve conduction study parameters in patients with CTS treated by division of the flexor retinaculum through a short incision at the palm.Methods: The prospective cross-sectional, hospital-based study was conducted in department of burns, plastic and reconstructive surgery at SCB Medical College, Cuttack.Results: The average age was 44.49 years (SD=10.51; range=24-70), and the average symptom duration was 19.9 months (range=6-36). There are 36 hands in the severe group, 22 with the moderate group, and 12 with the mild category. The mean symptom severity scale score for severe group A was 40.92 (SD=5.84) and for moderate group B was 31.67 (SD=5.72), and for the mild group, C was 26.0 and SD=3.82). We found significant correlation between symptomatic recovery and Boston severity scales.Conclusions: Clinical correlation of pre- and post-op symptoms is the only full proof way to predict recovery after surgery in CTS‑affected, patients.

Published: December 2022

Background: Typhoid fever is a public health problem with a high disease burden in India. The prevalence of multidrug resistance in typhoid has nearly doubled from 1999 to 2005. The resistance against Fluoroquinlones is very high due to indiscriminate use and an increased resistance against Azithromycin, one of the first line antibiotics used is being observed. This study will evaluate the current trend of antibiotic resistance among typhoid fever cases observed in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A retrospective record-based analysis was carried out for all the culture-proven typhoid cases admitted to a tertiary care teaching hospital in Delhi. The blood culture reports of all patients admitted from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017 were analyzed. Only culture-positive typhoid fever cases which isolated S. typhi and S. Paratyphi A were included for the study. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern was done using disc diffusion method and data with regards to following antibiotics was analysed: Azithromycin, ciprofloxacins, Amikacin, Gentamycin, Amoxicillin, Cefepime, Cefixime, Cotrimoxazole, Ceftriaxone.Results: The incidence of blood culture positive typhoid among total number of blood cultures received was 1.84%. Of these 118 blood cultures, 101 (85.6%) were S. typhi, and 17 (14.4%) were S. Paratyphi A. A total of 54 (45.8%) blood cultures were sensitive to all antibiotics. The antibiotic sensitivity testing revealed the following pattern of resistance: Azithromycin (21.2%), ciprofloxacin (16.9%), Gentamycin (10.2%), Amoxicillin (8.5%), Cefepime (1.7%), Cefixime (4%), Cotrimoxazole (4.2%), Ceftriaxone (0.8%).Conclusions: There is an increase in the resistance against Azithromycin in the typhoid bacilli. A regular and yearly assessment of antibiotic sensitivity pattern should be undertaken by developing a registry that accumulates antibiotic resistance data from hospitals and diagnostic centers.

Published: December 2022

Background: Although an increasing number of anesthesiologists are using peripheral nerve catheters for postoperative analgesia, single shot blocks are still more common. Ropivacaine has become the most commonly used long-acting local anesthetic, and the duration of analgesia has been estimated to be 8 to 14 hours.Methods: The study was conducted from February 2020 to October 2021 after obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee. The study was a prospective observational study.Results: Hemodynamic changes in patients who received dexmedetomidine in combination with Ropivacaine had a favorable reduction in both heart rate and blood pressure without causing any major side effect. Comparison of postoperative MAP (mmHg) in two groups at various intervals of time was observed and found to be statistically significant (p value of <0.05). Comparison of postoperative heart rate (beats/min) among two groups at various intervals of time was statistically significant (p value of <0.05).Conclusions: We can conclude that preoperative inter-scalene block given reduces the analgesic requirement intraoperatively as well postoperatively. And the hemodynamic changes in patients who received dexmedetomidine in combination with ropivacaine had a favorable reduction in both heart rate and blood pressure without causing any major side effect.
