A Study of Philosophical significance of the Doctrine of Emptiness of Nagarjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.
Authors: Nesan Pulenthiran
Published: May 2023

The goal of this study is to expound and present Doctrine of Emptiness in Mūlamadhyamakakārikā of Nagarjuna in as clear and concise a manner as possible. This treatise is the premier work both of Nagarjuna and of the Madhyamaka School of Buddhism as a whole. It includes all of the main themes of the school, serves as a model for the school’s method of argumentation, and it is the focus of the subsequent history of the school. The research problem is that Nagarjuna’s Emptiness is clearly not mean in the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā. The concept had fundamental implications for Indian philosophical models of causation, substance ontology, epistemology, conceptualizations of language, ethics and theories of world-liberating salvation, and proved seminal even for Buddhist philosophies in India, Tibet, China and Japan very different from Nagarjuna’s own. This study is based on the information culled out from the relevant works of Nagarjuna and Madhyamaka school of Buddhism which are cited in the footnote as well as in the bibliography. Mainly three methods are employed in preparing this study viz., analytical, comparative and critical method. The analytical method is employed in that an attempt to analyzing the concept of emptiness made in this study and these concepts are presented in a systematic manner. The method is also comparative in that incidental comparison of the sunyata concept of Madhyamika School with the other schools is made in order to have a systematic view of the problem. The method is also critical in that the study tries to show merit as well as demerits, if any, in the Buddhistic concepts cited above. Nagarjuna’s main philosophical concept is emptiness. This survey discussed about the Middle Way, and the refutation of the erroneous views as the illumination of right view and the philosophical positions of Nagarjuna.
1948
Authors: May Brian
Published: May 2023

Described as the most widely read and influential serious writer of the twentieth century, George Orwell remains relevant in our own era of contested media. He continues to attract a large readership. This book is about Orwell’s post-war cultural moment c. 1948. Taking his Diaries of the time as inspiration, together with his famous final novel, 1984 (published 1949), and treating them as contiguous texts, Brian May explores the gaps, equivocations, and contradictions in Orwell's message and asks what Orwell would have written next. But 1948 is more than a work of literary criticism: rather, it balances critical discussion with creative intervention, being one-half literary-critical commentary, and one-half fictional departure – a novella titled “From the Archives of Oceania,” which quotes, parodies and pastiches Orwell's Diaries, offering a possible prequel. Together these elements offer a resource for the reader to interrogate anew such difficult issues as Orwell's sexism and anti-Semitism; to explore the tensions between various intertwining strands of thought that cast Orwell as both realist and idealist, Puritan and individualist; and to better understand Orwell's curious affection for the natural world. 1948 will appeal to all readers and critics of Orwell, but also to students of dystopian fiction, "revisionary" fiction and "reception study," which highlights the audience’s contribution to an artwork's meaning.
TV-Philosophy in Action
Authors: Laugier Sandra
Published: May 2023

TV-Philosophy in Action is inspired by philosopher and series-devotee Sandra Laugier’s monthly columns published in the French journal Libération. It is her contribution to the collective reflection on TV series produced by critics, theorists, and the vast mass of individual watchers who evaluate and discuss these programmes every day. The book brings together a selection of articles from Libération, as well as longer pieces, to demonstrate ‘TV-Philosophy in action’: Laugier’s response as a philosopher-viewer to a range of particularly salient TV shows from the last 20 years, and their relationship to social and political issues of our times. Arranged under a number of important themes—relating to politics, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our world—the book shows how TV series provide a rich resource for thinking about our lives, and places them centre-stage as works of art, and of thought, in their own right.
Algerian Women And Diasporic Experience
Authors: Narriman Guemar Latefa
Published: May 2023

This book uses the narratives of women who fled Algeria in the 1990s—known as the ‘Black Decade’—to offer a more intimate understanding of the violence women face in times of conflict. It details their struggle for independence, and for freedom from the violence directed against them as women, as well as revealing the obstacles they encounter when seeking gender-appropriate international protection. Chapters also investigate these women’s life experiences beyond Algeria, and the professional and cultural networks they form. Such networks play an important role in enabling the female diaspora to maintain relationships with Algeria and to engage in political discussion concerning the recent revolutionary Hirak movement, which emerged in 2019. Latefa Narriman Guemar has been publishing on the Algerian diaspora and Algeria’s socio-political context since 2012, drawing on her own experiences as well of those of others. The result of rich empirical data gathered through months of fieldwork with women survivors of the 1990s conflict in Algeria, this book employs innovative research methods to investigate female experience of conflict, flight and living in exile. It challenges official narratives which deny the mass exodus of highly skilled Algerian women in recent years, and provides an important contribution to the study of Algerian postcolonial history. It also offers new ways of approaching healing processes for female victims of persecution and terrorism.
Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells: Opinion of the Factors Impeding the Deployment
Authors:   SRM University Chennai, India, Madheswaran Dinesh Kumar
Published: May 2023

This article explores the potential and limitations of Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells (SMFCs) and their deployment for sustainable energy production and environmental remediation. SMFCs use naturally occurring redox gradients in sediments to produce bioelectricity, making them advantageous over conventional energy sources due to their affordability, simplicity, and ability to operate in various environments with minimum maintenance requirements. However, their low power output density restricts their practical applicability. The article discusses the controllable and uncontrollable factors that affect SMFC performance and their influence on SMFC functionality, electrode material, external resistance, electrode spacing, electrode design, electrode immersion dimensions, and catalyst. The article highlights the challenges facing SMFC deployment, particularly in large-scale businesses, such as the need for more scientific literature on SMFCs and inadequate focus on energy metrics.
Cameroon-Nigeria Border Conflict Prevention and Resolution Over the Bakassi Peninsula, 1884 – 2008: Model for Peacebuilding in Africa
Authors: Sobseh Emmanuel Yenkong
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Relations between Nigeria and Cameroon have been strained for a number of years due to conflicts over the ownership and administration of the resource-rich Bakassi Peninsula. After independence, Cameroon and Nigeria accepted the colonial borders, but Nigerian authorities decided in 1980 to question these borders. Following several failed diplomatic attempts to prevent and resolve the conflict, Cameroon approached the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague with a petition on March 29, 1994 and at the end of the process which lasted eight years, the ICJ rendered its final verdict on October 10, 2002 in favour of Cameroon. This study seeks to examine the geopolitics and historical context of the Bakassi dispute. It argues that, the different conflict prevention measures adopted through the creation of the Joint Cameroon–Nigeria Border Commission in 1965; Yaounde I Declaration of August 14, 1970; Yaounde II Declaration of April 4, 1971; Kano Declaration of September 1, 1974; Maroua Declaration of June 1, 1975; and the activities of the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission from 2002 to 2007 provided a model for dialogue and mediation in the prevention of armed conflicts in Africa.

Methodology: The study utilized primary and secondary sources to investigate the measures adopted in preventing the conflict and to ascertain that the methods of conflict resolution such as mediation, bilateral negotiation, facilitation, adjudication, agreement and dialogue applied were very successful.

Findings: The study concludes that, addressing the shortcomings of conflict prevention and resolution mechanisms could improve stability, guarantee security and maintain peace. The study recommends that, governments, the general public, litigants, mediators and policymakers involved in the prevention and resolution of border conflicts should be educated and trained on alternative dispute resolution processes in Africa.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study contributes to theory, policy and practice in the sense that, conflict prevention through dialogue, creation of joint and mixed commissions, and the arrival of consensus through declarations and agreements have significant potentials for handling and resolving the growing number of armed border conflicts in Africa.
Implicancias políticas de los estudios neurocientíficos: Hacia un giro colaborativo interdisciplinario
Authors: Smulski Mariana
Published: May 2023

El crecimiento sostenido del campo neurocientífico a nivel global en las últimas dos décadas fue acompañado de expectativas en relación con los aportes que estos conocimientos podrían hacer al desarrollo de políticas públicas. Una parte de este campo se orientó al estudio de los efectos de las condiciones socioeconómicas adversas sobre el desarrollo del cerebro desde la infancia temprana, dando origen a los estudios de neurociencia y pobreza. Los avances producidos en esta área en particular han despertado debates entre profesionales de distintas disciplinas respecto de las implicancias políticas de las evidencias que se producen y la forma en que ya están siendo utilizadas en distintas narrativas políticas. En el año 2019, en el Centro Cultural de la Ciencia de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, se desarrolló un evento interdisciplinario titulado “Usos políticos de la evidencia neurocientífica sobre pobreza. Un encuentro de reflexión y debate”. Allí realizó una presentación el destacado sociólogo Nikolas Rose centrada en la revisión e historización de ciertas nociones claves y sus efectos biopolíticos. En su presentación dejó abiertos numerosos interrogantes sobre el papel que podrían jugar la neurociencia en las políticas sobre pobreza e invitó al desarrollo de relaciones colaborativas entre científicos sociales y neurocientíficos. Las páginas que se presentan a continuación y que anteceden a la transcripción de su exposición oral buscan, en primer lugar, enmarcar y contextualizar las discusiones abiertas por Nikolas Rose considerando sus trabajos previos. En segundo lugar, articular su exposición con la problemática específica que nos plantea la noción de “giro colaborativo” considerando la posibilidad de abordar interdisciplinariamente los debates y tensiones que abre la relación entre neurociencia y política.

Authors: Chaveiro Maylla Monnik Rodrigues de Sousa , Sousa Marielly Martins de
Published: May 2023

Este artigo descreve um relato de experiência acerca dos processos psicossociais vivenciados na ONG Raízes do Norte Goiano (ONG RNG) entre o período de 2018 a 2023 no estado de Goiás. Sendo idealizada por um casal de mulheres negras, candomblecistas e lésbicas, a ONG elaborou e desenvolveu projetos sociais guiados pela perspectiva decolonial e interseccional entre as categorias de raça/etnia, gênero, orientação sexual, capacidade, regionalidade, classe social, religiosidade/espiritualidade e geração. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e interdisciplinar desenvolvida por meio da observação participante e com análises embasadas a partir dos pressupostos teórico-práticos da interseccionalidade, do campo psicossocial, das epistemologias decoloniais e estudos acerca das relações étnico-raciais na sociedade brasileira. Como resultado, percebeu-se que os projetos sociais contribuíram para o fortalecimento da identidade negra em perspectiva interseccional e ofereceram ferramentas para repensar o modelo epistêmico hegemônico fomentando o pensamento crítico que se opõe à naturalização das desigualdades sociais. Por fim, as ações da ONG RNG podem contribuir como exemplos para o enfrentamento às múltiplas opressões e para a construção de uma sociedade democrática a partir de princípios éticos, estéticos e políticos do pensamento decolonial.
Mapeamento das produções brasileiras do strictu sensu em gestão social: identificação de padrões e seus reflexos sobre a disseminação do campo
Authors: Oliveira Bruna de , Cançado Airton Cardoso
Published: May 2023

Os estudos sobre Gestão Social se iniciaram na década de 1990. A construção desse campo está alicerçada num modelo onde os indivíduos são colocados como protagonistas no processo decisório, dando-lhes um espaço social de fala. Em aproximadamente 30 anos de estudos e interpretações, a Gestão Social deixou registros de sua evolução científica. Esse contexto induziu a identificação de padrões de comportamentos nas teses e dissertações produzidas sobre a temática. Através da técnica de data mining foram mapeados os orientadores e avaliada a disseminação da temática. Foram filtradas as teses e dissertações disponibilizadas pela CAPES no período de 2013 a 2019 com a expressão “Gestão Social”. A aplicação de um algoritmo de segmentação dividiu as 271 produções científicas em grupos. Os resultados apontam que um pequeno grupo de professores é responsável pela maioria das orientações. Além disso, em determinados estados brasileiros, o campo encontra-se mais institucionalizado do que em outros.

Alzheimer Hastalığında Antosiyaninlerin Önemi
Authors: Güçer Öz Yeliz , Göktaş Zeynep
Published: May 2023

The Importance of Anthocyanins in Alzheimer’s Disease The main pathological markers in Alzheimer’s dementia are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. In addition, inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitochondrial damage, and impaired calcium homeostasis also play a role in the process. Currently, no definitive treatment for Alzheimer’s disease has yet been found. Considering the multifactorial pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, single-targeted treatment approaches are insufficient. For an effective treatment, treatment approaches that target more than one factor contributing to the progression of the disease should be adopted. There are various findings showing that most of the harmful effects of the processes involved in neurodegeneration are ameliorated by anthocyanins, which are in the flavonoid group of polyphenols. Studies have reported that anthocyanins have effects on oxidative and nitrosative stress, excitotoxicity, glial inflammation, protein aggregation and induction of apoptotic signaling proteins. Because of these functionalities, anthocyanins have therapeutic potential both as a dietary intervention and as the basis for future drug discovery efforts, making them an interesting compound to consider in the context of developing treatments for neurodegeneration. In this article, it is aimed to examine the effects and underlying mechanisms of anthocyanins on Alzheimer’s disease. Keywords: Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Polyphenols, Anthocyanin
Effects of NO, H2S and CO on Thiol/Disulfide Balance and Advanced Oxidation Protein Products in Hippocampus and Serum
Authors: Cicek Cigdem , Baskin Veysel , Erol Kevser
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and carbon monoxide (CO) are known as gaseous autocoids. It is not clear how the application of exogenous NO, H2S and CO alters the thiol/disulfide balance and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in the hippocampus and serum. Materials and Methods: In the study, rats were exogenously injected with L-arginine (100 mg/kg) as a NO donor, NaHS (10 mg/ kg) as a H2S donor, and CORM-2 (10 mg/kg) as a CO donor (II) (a tricarbonyldichlororuthenium dimer). Thiol/disulfide balance and advanced protein oxidation products were analyzed in hippocampus and serum samples. Results: The native thiol level in the hippocampus of the L-arginine group was statistically decreased compared to the native thiol level of the control group (p≤0.0001). The disulfide level in the hippocampus of the L-arginine group was statistically increased compared to the control group (p=0.009). Hippocampal total thiol level of NaHS group and CORM-2 group increased statistically (p=0.008,p=0.0157, respectively), while serum disulfide level of CORM-2 group decreased (p=0.0005). Serum and hippocampus AOPPs levels of the NaHS group were statistically increased compared to the control group (***p=0.0006, **p=0.0047, respectively). Similarly, the hippocampal AOPP level in the CORM-2 group was found to be statistically increased compared to the AOPP level in the control group (p=0.0437). Conclusion: As NaHS can improve thiol/disulfide balance, new studies are needed for CORM-2 and L-Arginine. This study is the first to report the effects of NO, H2S and CO on thiol/disulfide balance and AOPPs in the hippocampus and serum. Keywords: NO, H2S, CO, AOPPs, Thiol/disulfide

Estado transnacional
Authors: Samaja Manuel
Published: May 2023

El artículo comienza con un tratamiento general de la teoría marxista del Estado. La idea central consiste en que el Estado y la hegemonía política en general tienen su fundamento en la división antagónica del trabajo, especialmente en la división entre producción material e ideal. Los intelectuales, como categoría social diferenciada, constituyen la 'célula elemental' de toda hegemonía y de todo Estado. Luego se ofrece un abordaje de la especificidad del Estado capitalista y se determina ulteriormente a la categoría del intelectual como un tipo particular de personificación del capital: la personificación hegemónica del capital. Seguidamente, el artículo elabora acerca de la forma actual del sistema mundial del capital, a partir de los conceptos de 'transnacionalización del capitalismo monopolista de Estado' y de 'crisis estructural del capital'. Como síntesis de todo lo que precede, se expone la tesis de que la determinación política del proceso histórico de transnacionalización del capitalismo monopolista de Estado se expresa como metamorfosis de las personificaciones hegemónicas del capital. Finalmente se concluye que la transnacionalización política del sistema del capital implica la potencialidad de una universalización genuina de las relaciones humanas — si es que se supera esta forma antagónica de la producción social.
Diacronía y lógica en el término nūr de suhrawardī
Authors: Aldama Cruz Amílcar
Published: May 2023

El término nūr posee un rol fundamental en el pensamiento ʾišrāqī y dentro de toda la lexicografía islámica, así como una diacronía singular en el pensamiento de Suhrawardī (1154–1191), donde converge en diferentes campos como la epistemología, la ontología, la mística y la onto-teología. Este artículo pretende en primer lugar operar a modo de un breve léxico suhrawardiano correspondiente a esta categoría capital de la filosofía ʾišrāqī, valiéndose del enfoque cognitivo de la terminología basada en marcos. Se utilizará como principal fuente la obra Ḥikma al-ʾišrāq.  En segundo lugar, se realizará un breve análisis comparativo por medio de la lógica de predicados, la teoría de metalenguaje y la teoría constructiva de tipos (TCT) del concepto de nūr con empleo del elativo en árabe.
Análisis filosófico respecto a la digitalización de lo religioso
Authors: Saavedra Pérez Boris
Published: May 2023

El presente escrito aborda la digitalización de lo religioso desde una reflexión filosófica, teniendo como base el pensamiento del filósofo surcoreano Byung-Chul Han, que cuestiona el fenómeno de la digitalización, ya que pretende reprogramar por completo la totalidad vivencial del ser humano, abarcando la conducta, percepción, sensaciones, pensamientos y convivencia en general. Lo paradójico de este cambio es que el individuo es incapaz de captarlo, pues se encuentra absorto en el medio digital. Esto plantea diversas problemáticas para la filosofía y en particular, para la filosofía de la religión, tales como: la metamorfosis de la identidad personal; la relevancia de la interacción humana en el ámbito presencial; el rol del cuerpo en las relaciones interpersonales y las repercusiones que lo digital posee en la sociabilidad.

De ahí que, ante este fenómeno tan avasallador, tampoco haya escapado la dimensión espiritual de la persona, puesto que igualmente la digitalización afecta a la dimensión religiosa, lo que da por resultado un cierto componente híbrido, donde lo digital se sacraliza y lo religioso digitaliza.

Published: May 2023

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are defined as complaints or disorders that cause discomfort to the musculoskeletal system. During lecture activities, students are mostly in a static posture. Static and repetitive muscle loading when sitting for a long period can cause muscle fatigue due to the accumulation of lactic acid. Besides, it produces discomfort or pain in the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of the research is to describe an overview of musculoskeletal disorders in undergraduate students of the Bachelor and Professional Program of Physical Therapy Faculty of Medicine Udayana University during the lecture.

Methods: The method of this research is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional, which has been carried out from October to November 2021. This research used a total sampling technique. The participants were undergraduate students of the Bachelor and Professional of Physical Therapy Program, College of Medicine, Universitas Udayana, with a total of 196 participants who met the established criteria. Researchers measured musculoskeletal disorders using a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. Analysis of research data using univariate analysis, namely age, gender, body mass index, study period, duration of the study, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Results: The results showed that musculoskeletal disorders were mostly complained of by students, namely the waist 61.7%, then the back 59%, followed by complaints in the lower neck 53.6% and upper neck 47.4% while the lowest complaints occurred in the left leg with a percentage of 5.6%.

Conclusion: A total of 177 (90.3%) students had musculoskeletal disorders during lectures and 19 (9.7%) did not experience musculoskeletal disorders during lectures, and 94.4% had a low risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The risk of low musculoskeletal disorders can be interpreted as not requiring improvement.

Authors: Almadani Zahra , Ningsih Alifia Fitria , Purwaningsih Ika , Wibowo Angger Perdana , Pristianto Arif , Herlinawati Intan
Published: May 2023

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is brought on by the neurobiology process. This disorder ultimately results in the inability to communicate with others, a lack of interest, and repetitive behavior. One of the things that are most often encountered in children with ASD is reduced eye contact. Which, of course, will impact the severity of social deficits in the future. Patients with this behavior condition also experience motor impairments, particularly in fine motor abilities and eye contact difficulties. Naturally, there is a relationship between eye contact and fine motor abilities, where the intensity of the person's attention will undoubtedly predict fine motor abilities. Both abilities can be improved by solving puzzles. Playing this game might enhance focus, attentiveness, and fine motor abilities. This study aims to understand how puzzle games affect the attention and fine motor abilities of children with ASD.

Case Description: The patient was five years and six months old with a genetic background and was diagnosed with ASD. This study was conducted at the Intan Child Physiotherapy Clinic (IFA), Boyolali. The length of time the child can maintain eye contact with objects during an attention evaluation will be used by the therapist to gauge the fine motor skills and assess how well the youngster grasps and pinches objects. Observational data-gathering approaches are employed throughout therapy.

Results: The patient's capacity for eye contact attention was worth 1 second, whereas the capacity for attention to objects was 30 seconds. The number for grabbing was three (plenty), whereas the value for pinching was one and a half (very little).

Conclusion: There was no significant improvement in both attentional and fine motor skills.

Published: May 2023

The article explores, based on the latest literary sources, an important issue in financial theory and economic practice, namely the problems and prospects of municipal participatory budgeting in Georgia. It emphasizes that the process of participatory budgeting is an innovative model for proper governance that promotes inclusive democracy, leads to the modernization of the public sector, increases accountability of the executive branch to the public, and represents an effective process of democratic dialogue and decision-making between the government and the population. It is shown that municipal participatory budgeting has been introduced in Georgia in two forms: the "Civil Budget" participatory budgeting project and the VOICE participatory budgeting project. Each has its strengths, weaknesses, and challenges. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn regarding the ways of developing participatory budgeting models implemented in Georgia.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a chronic inflammatory process that negatively affects bone metabolism, leading to a violation of bone mineral density (BMD). Bone remodeling markers are important indicators of the state of bone tissue that can provide additional important information for the clinician about BMD disorders. The patients were randomly enrolled in the study with preliminary stratification by the presence of RA as well as the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism in 2010, also normal bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis (OP) were diagnosed by ultrasound bone densitometry. The study included 42 patients (33 women (78,57 %) and 9 men (21,43 %)) aged 38 to 60 years. The control group consisted of 22 healthy individuals of (18 women (81.81 %) and 4 men (18.19 %) with no BMD disorders. Markers of bone formation, osteocalcin (OC), P1NP and bone resorption β-CrossLaps were studied. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the serum content of both OC and P1NP is significantly lower, while β-CrossLaps is slightly higher in RA patients with OP compared to healthy individuals. Also, OC and P1NP in the blood serum is significantly lower in RA patients with OP compared with RA patients with normal BMD, and the content of β-CrossLaps did not have a significant difference in RA patients with OP compared with RA patients with normal BMD. In rheumatoid arthritis patients with OP, bone mineral density disorder is marked by a decrease in bone formation and an increase in resorption processes.

With the growing reliance on mobile applications, ensuring their dependability has become a crucial aspect of software development. This article introduces a new approach to evaluating the dependability of mobile applications based on the Corcoran Model, a comprehensive framework that considers various aspects of dependability, including performance, reliability, availability, scalability, security, usability, maintainability, and testability. The Corcoran Model provides a systematic way to assess mobile applications by analyzing key metrics and indicators associated with each of these aspects. By utilizing this model, developers and organizations can gain a holistic understanding of an application's dependability, leading to better decision-making and targeted improvements. Furthermore, this approach promotes increased end-user satisfaction and trust in mobile applications, ultimately contributing to their widespread adoption and success.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a condition of high blood pressure in pregnancy and also having protein in urine. Preeclampsia is known to be a common disorder with vascular endothelial level malfunction , along with vasospasm which occurs after , twenty weeks of pregnancy, but it can also occur , as late as 4 to 6 weeks postpartum. There is a controversy in serum lipids levels among patients with mild or severe preeclampsia however, abnormality in lipid profiles exists in patients with preeclampsia. So we have conducted this study, to find out the serum lipid profile of patients with PE.

Objective: To compare the mean serum lipid levels, among the patients with mild versus severe pre-eclampsia (PE).

Material &Methods: This is a descriptive case series study. It was carried out at Obs and Gynae Dept of Lahore General Hospital for six months. 320 pregnant females with PE were selected by non-probability, purposive sampling type technique. The patients were then categorized out into the mild or severe types of pre-eclampsia. The Fasting venous blood sample of 5cc was taken in a disposable sterilized syringe and we sent to the laboratory of Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. The laboratory reports of serum lipid profiles were compared for any differences present between the 2( mild and severe). Student t-test was used for comparing the mean of serum lipid levels between the two categories of preeclampsia (mild or severe) . P-value less than 0.05 was to be taken as a significant value.

Results: In our study the patient’s mean age was 24.79±3.89-year, mean BMI of the patients was 25.23±3.89 kg/m2, obesity was observed in 30.63% patients. Mild preeclampsia was observed in 83.1% patients and severe preeclampsia was observed in 16.9% patients. Statistically highly significant differences were seen between the mean TC, TG and HDL levels with the severity of PE. Conclusion: Our study results lead us to the conclusion that the patients with mild pre-Eclampsia had lower levels of LDL, TG, and TC compared with severe PE patients, while HDL value was found higher in females with mild PE as compared with severe PE.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH IN SLOVENIA
Authors: KOVAČIČ Helena
Published: May 2023

While considering a two-level approach, in the article we discuss systemic issues related to occupational safety and health (OSH) data. On the individual level, we focus on OSH incidents that indicate the status of occupational health. On the company level, we examine OSH management data that reveal the monitoring system. Our analysis shows that the Slovenian OSH data collection system depends on employers’ reporting rather than on professionals monitoring workers’ health. The OSH system is oriented to legal compliance more than the regular monitoring of OSH activities. The introduction of systemic measures that integrate the various OSH stakeholders and reintegrate occupational medicine into the health system is recommended.
