Authors: Vatsyayan Richa , Sachdeva Kavita
Published: April 2021

Background: The study aimed to assess the clinical manifestations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (head and neck) in diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients and without pulmonary TB and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) in the diagnosis of extra-pulmonary TB.

Methods: The study was conducted as an observational study at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, tertiary care center, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) for a period of 18 months i.e. from 01 March 2019 to 31 August 2020 on 30 patients presenting with lesions in ear, nose and throat (ENT), head and neck region. All necessary investigations with TB workup were done. Sputum samples were analyzed by CBNAAT on Xpert- Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex/resistance to rifampin (MTB/RIF). Patients were treated accordingly. Appropriate surgical intervention was done in necessary cases. Using statistical analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy was calculated for CBNAAT.  

Results: Neck swelling and ear discharge were the most common features observed in 66.7% of cases. In cases with pulmonary TB, systemic features were the most predominant features whereas in cases with extra-pulmonary TB, local features were predominant. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of CBNAAT were documented to be 85%, 50%, 89.5% and 40% respectively.

Conclusions: TB of the head and neck are commonly encountered in clinical practice. The patients usually present with variable clinical manifestations depending upon the site of involvement. The middle ear is the most common site affected by head and neck tuberculosis. CBNAAT is a sensitive tool for the diagnosis of extra-pulmonary TB with and without associated pulmonary TB.

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is an invasive disease associated with high mortality ranging from 25-62%. There is an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 infection patients. We have come across 10 such patients. On retrospective analysis of the patient’s records, we found that 60% patients had received steroids and majority had co-morbidities. All the patients received similar treatment with IV amphotericin B and local debridement and the mortality rate was as high as 44%. We conclude that patients with COVID 19 infection are susceptible to mucormycosis because of impairment of barrier defense, dysfunction phagocytes and lymphocytes and the use of immunosuppressive medications such as steroids and tocilizumab.

Authors: Claros Andres , Blebea Cristina , Clarós Pedro
Published: April 2021

Amyloidosis represents a diverse group of disorders that have in common the deposition of amyloid protein in various extracellular tissues. Its clinical presentation may be systemic or localised. However, regions in the head and neck are rarely affected. This report discusses the case of a 57 year old man with a history of 6 years of left ear non-pulsatile tinnitus, who at the physical examination presented a polilobulated, yellowish oropharyngeal lesion, behind the left posterior pillar of the tonsil. Biopsy of the lesion sustained the diagnostic of light chain amyloidosis and subsequent evaluation was significant for establishing the diagnosis of localised amyloidosis. While further investigations a second laryngeal lesion was encountered. We present a case report of double synchronous amyloidosis localization on head and neck and asymptomatic lesions and discuss the implications for diagnosis and treatment.
Malignant melanoma oral cavity: case report of two patients from sub-Himalayan region
Authors: Sharma Jyoti , Gupta Manish , Saini Amit
Published: April 2021

Malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is an exceedingly rare tumor representing 0.2 to 8% of all melanomas. Mucosal melanomas are extremely rare and aggressive neoplasms. Patient reporting to the clinician with a pigmented lesion should raise suspicion in the first visit itself and should be further investigated so as to detect this dreaded malignancy at an earlier stage and thus managed appropriately. We presented two such rare cases who reported at our centre treated with different modalities and had different responses to treatment. In first case report 65 year old male patient diagnosed with malignant melanoma of left upper alveolus underwent multiple modalities of treatment like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy but unfortunately as he defaulted post-surgery and also due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions he was treated in various centres and finally the result was inoperable residual gigantic mass resistant to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In second case report, 82 year old male patient reported with malignant melanoma hard palate having good response to initial chemotherapy. He was planned on hypo-fractionated radiotherapy in view of his old age but he refused radiation treatment and is on oral temozolamide and thalidomide with stable disease and good quality of life since past 6 months.

Published: April 2021

Castleman’s disease (CD) usually presents as localized or systemic lymphadenopathy or as an extra nodal mass. The usual site of presentation are mediastinum, retroperitoneum, axilla and mesentery. Only 3 cases of CD have been reported in retro pharyngeal space. We report a case of 20 year old male patient with retropharyngeal mass. He presented with difficulty in swallowing, change in voice and respiratory distress. The mass was removed in-toto transorally after performing elective tracheostomy. The histopathological findings were consistent with hyaline vascular type of CD. He was decannulated after two day and postoperative period was uneventful. Postoperative CT imaging confirmed the complete excision of tumor and patient is on follow up, with no signs of recurrence. The presentation of tumour in the retropharyngeal space which is a rare site of occurrence add to the uniqueness of this case. Unicentric CD has an excellent prognosis and surgery is the management of choice. Its clinical features, histological subtypes, treatment modalities and prognosis are discussed.

Authors: Kasliwal Neeraj , Kasliwal Ashwath , Kasliwal Anirudh
Published: April 2021

Retrosternal goitre is usually referred to enlarged thyroid gland with more than 50% of its mass below the thoracic inlet. It has clinical importance because it may cause compression of the major vessels in the neck. In this article we are reporting a case of 51-year-old female who came to the otolaryngology clinic with slight dyspnoea on exertion for 3 years. She was an elderly female, obese, with a short broad neck with no obvious swelling in the neck. Surgical resection of the mass with either isolated neck incision or neck incision/sternotomy remains the treatment of choice.

Authors: Khilnani Ajeet Kumar , Khilnani Gurudas , Thaddanee Rekha
Published: April 2021

The competency based medical education emphasizes role of formative and summative assessments in academic progression of learners. The university examination represents summative assessment in which distribution of marks becomes important for overall evaluation of students’ performance in examinations. The competency based curriculum (CBC) began with 2019-20 batch that has already completed phase-I training and is studying in phase-II presently. The phase-III, part-1 training for this batch would begin in February 2022. The details of otorhinolaryngology (ORL) curriculum have already been published by erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI). There shall be formative and summative assessment examinations during the 12 months period (duration of phase-III, part-1 has been reduced from 13 months to 12 months as per the advisory from National Medical Commission). The suggested break-up of the internal assessment (IA) marks in ORL is published earlier. Here, we further suggest scheme of theory paper and clinical examination, and division of university assessment (UA) marks in ORL. The CBC document has assigned total 200 marks in ORL i.e. 100 marks for theory and 100 marks for practical/clinical examination including viva. The IA marks will not contribute to the university marks, but will be displayed as a separate head in the marksheet.
THE COMMUNICATION TOOLS OF TURKEY’S ARAB TRIBES WITH OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS: MARRIAGE, RELIGION AND MUSIC
Authors: AŞKIN Deniz
Published: April 2021

This study analyzes the Turkish Arabs’s security concepts, intra-tribal marriage, cultural dimension of religion and their interactions with the other groups they live together through the example of Shego and Bıdri tribes. The Arab tribes of Shego and Bidri remained in the area surrounded by mountains for a very long time and stayed away from the reform policies of the central government and the interaction with the rest of the world. Therefore, the ethnocultural identities of these tribes, which were recognized as a result of their rebellions that started with centralization and continued with the Republican administration process, exhibit an endemic characteristic and are influenced by the societies in which they live with. In these tribes, the local Arabic language, daily life, their relations with the religion and state are shaped as a result of their identity codes. This study reveals the ethnocultural identities and interactions of Shego and Bidri tribes, which are recorded just in the late Ottoman period and continue with the Republic of Turkey, on an anthropological and sociological basis.

PANDEMİNİN SOSYOLOJİSİ
Authors: TUNA Muammer
Published: April 2021

2019 yılı Kasım ayında Çin’de ortaya çıkan COVID 19 hızla tüm dünyaya yayılmış ve 2020 yılı başında Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) tarafından Pandemi olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bununla birlikte artık dünya köklü bir şekilde değişmeye ve her şey yeniden tanımlanmaya başlanmıştır. COVID 19 Pandemisi kuşkusuz birçok farklı yönlerden irdelenebilir. Ancak bu makalede, öncelikle COVID 19 Pandemisi ile ortaya çıkan toplumsal durum analiz edilemeye çalışılmış, daha sonra da içinde bulunulan toplumsal ortamın bundan sonra hangi yöne doğru evrilebileceğine ilişkin olarak muhtemel öngörüler tartışmaya açılmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu makale, doğrudan bir araştırma makalesi olmamakla birlikte; COVID 19 Pandemisinin ortaya çıkışı ve yayılması sürecindeki makro sosyolojik gözlemlere ve bir ölçüde sürecin medyaya ve bilim dünyasındaki yansımaları üzerinden yapılan analizlere dayanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu makalede ortaya atılan argümanlar ve varsayımlar aslen planlanmakta olan ve ön araştırması yapılmakta olan geniş kapsamlı bir sosyolojik araştırmanın temel varsayımlarının paylaşılması amacını gütmektedir. Bu bağlamda COVID 19 Pandemisi ile ortaya çıkan durumun öncelikle “kapatılmışlık”, “gözetlenmişlik” kavramlarıyla ifade edilebileceği ve bunun ötesinde yeni ortaya çıkan toplumsal durumun, internet ve sosyal medyanın etkisiyle “sanal toplum” olarak ifade edilmesinin uygun olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle, bundan sonra toplumun hangi yöne evrilebileceğine ilişkin olarak dört varsayım öne sürülmektedir. Bunlar; dayanışma ve dayanışma ekonomilerinin yeniden gündeme gelmesi ve buna bağlı olarak sanal ağlar üzerinden bir toplumsal dayanışmanın ortaya çıkmasıdır. Bunların ötesinde, Pandemi koşullarında neoliberalizmin iflasıyla birlikte sosyal devletin yeniden gündeme gelmesi ve en son olarak doğanın yeniden keşfi ve buna bağlı olarak doğaya geri dönüş eğilimlerinin hız kazanmasıdır.
Study of the equilibrium free surface of a capillary liquid in a toroidal vessel
Authors: Zhaokai Y. , Temnov A.N.
Published: April 2021

The paper considers an axisymmetric problem of determining the forms of equilibrium of liquid in spacecraft toroidal tanks under conditions close to weightlessness. In the absence of significant mass gravitational forces, the behavior of liquid fuel in tanks begins to be determined by surface tension forces, which are intermolecular forces at the interface of two phases. Relying on the principle of stationary potential, we obtained the conditions of equilibrium of the closed system "liquid - gas - solid wall" under microgravity conditions. The study introduces a system of differential equations that determines the form of equilibrium of a liquid in toroidal tanks, the Young — Dupre equation, the condition for the contact of a free surface with a solid wall, and the condition for the conservation of the volume of the liquid. Furthermore, we quantified the influence of various parameters, such as the contact angle α_0, the Bond number B_0, the ratio of the radii of the circles δ=R_0⁄r_0 and the relative filling volume of liquids V_0, on the form of the equilibrium of the capillary liquid. The study of the forms of equilibrium of liquid fuel makes it possible to develop recommendations for the design of intake devices for fuel tanks in rocket and space technology. Findings of research show that the obtained equilibrium surface is also the unperturbed boundary of the region occupied by liquid fuel, which gives necessary information for further investigation of the spacecraft dynamics.
The features of solutions of dynamical systems with an external exciting load and non-conservative dynamical systems with pairwise interaction of degrees of freedom
Authors: Kashfutdinov B.D. , Georgiev A.F.
Published: April 2021

When mathematical models are developed, as a rule, a number of assumptions is done, which makes it possible to simplify the model, reduce its dimension and simulation time, or use the dimension reduction method. When modeling non-conservative systems with pairwise interaction of degrees of freedom, e.g. mechatronic systems, an elastic aircraft in a flow, an aeroelastic aircraft with an automated control system, etc., there is a desire to reduce the problem to a conservative dynamic system with harmonic action. The study shows that despite the apparent similarity of the tasks, they have significant differences that cannot be ignored. Differences in the behavior of conservative dynamical systems and non-conservative dynamical systems with pair interaction of degrees of freedom are considered. The results are demonstrated on the simplest example with an analytical solution, and in the finite element software package MSC.Nastran. The results of the solution in MSC.Nastran are compared with the results of the analytical solution.

Published: April 2021

The paper describes the fuel cooling system which uses liquid nitrogen in the tanks of ground complexes equipped with integrated heat exchangers. We analyzed the characteristics of cooling liquid fuel in tanks with integrated heat exchangers filled with antifreeze, when sparging antifreeze with liquid nitrogen. As a result of the analysis, we introduced the indicators to assess the efficiency of the considered technical solutions in comparison with the existing options for constructing these systems. Furthermore, we developed a mathematical model of the cooling process in the form of a system of equations for temporary changes in the temperature of antifreeze and fuel, including the changes at various modes of fuel mixing. The paper gives the results of studies carried out in order to increase the efficiency of fuel cooling processes at various flow rates of liquid nitrogen by organizing the processes of its heat exchange with the surfaces of the integrated heat exchanger and the use of various types of antifreeze.
Modern parachute precision aerial delivery systems
Authors: Ploskov S.Yu.
Published: April 2021

The development of parachute precision aerial delivery systems (PADS) has been going on since 1940s. Relying on the analysis of the aerodynamic characteristics of various gliding parachutes, the paper specifies the aerodynamic configuration for modern parachute precision aerial delivery systems, determines the types and considers the possibility of unifying the design of the main parachutes of such systems. The paper describes the history of gliding parachutes, summarizes the experience of developing such parachutes, and considers the evolution of maneuverable and steerable parachutes. In our study, we introduce and substantiate a new for the Russian practice classification of parachutes with aerodynamic quality. First, aerodynamic characteristics of various gliding parachutes were generalized and the main requirements for parachute PADS were indicated. Then, modern combined parachute PADS of Airbone Systems, USA, developed on the basis of double-surface parafoil parachutes were analyzed and classified with the emphasis on the types of modern systems. Since unification is most responsible for reducing the cost of industrial production of any technical systems, we considered the issues of possible unification of parachute PADS. Findings of research show that the unification of modern combined PADS depends on the common elements of control systems. It is worth noting that unification for systems of the ultralight class in terms of main parachutes is possible when using individual parachutes. For parachute systems of the middle and heavy class, intraspecific unification is possible through the use of single parachute modules.

Lecturers as university educators have been main player and determinant of successful educational effort. Their roles are getting challenged when their role and productivity are highlighted. They face challenges which come from three sources, e.g., university standards; (2) education measurement; (3) issue of balancing government standards with institutional plan. However, there is a gap that lecturer’s efforts are rarely observed especially in college and universities. The purpose of this study is to determine whether programs that have been run by college have achieved the expected goals. This type of research is field research to observe college preparation and evaluation to measure their lecturers role in teaching and classroom interaction. Our study found that M E and lecturers active role can impact on the teaching productivity. We also found that lecturers understanding about government policy can improve college ability to develop their institutional plan. This study bring benefits for management auditors, institutional planner and educators to develop and improve their institutional plans.Keywords: monev, the active role of the lecturers, the lecturers 's interactive role in the class discussion, the productivity of the lecturers

Strategy is one of the series of activity, which is made and implemented to reach particular goal. Slow learners are students who are slower in underastanding a concept than other fellow students of the same age. The strategies used by teacher in the learning process is a very crucial part to help slow learners who have a low ability.The results of the study indicate that: (1) the teachers of SDN Ketawanggede Malang create a planning before starting the thematic learning process by preparing RPP (lesson plan). They add a modification such as material and learning objective for the slow learners. (2) Both school conduct introductory activities in the thematic learning implementation process, which are given by the teachers, by giving apperception delivering the learning objectives, and giving motivation to all student including slow learners. The slow learners do the same activities as what other students do. In the closing activities, the teachers usually perfom a question-answer session to conclude the lesson given and give assignments for the slow learners based on their abilities. (3) The evaluation and assesment of the  of the thematic learning process for slow learners are not different with what are given to the non-slow learners .(4) There are some different strategies given by the teachers in treating slow learners in both schools, namely: the modified lesson plan including the material and learning objectives as performed by SDN Ketawanggede Malang, special ways implemented by the homeroom teachers to improve the slow learners’ ability in class, and the treatment given by special shadow teachers that really helps the slow learners to improve. The similarities found in both schools are the facts that the teachers in both schools are the facts that the teachers in both schools do not have special strategy, method, and learning media to help slow learners to be able to understand the materials conveyed by the teachers easily.

Serta ada pengaruh antara pola asuh demokratis dan efikasi diri terhadap keberanian mengemukakan pendapat pada siswa karena nilai signifikansi = 0.000 lebih kecil dari 0.05. Pengaruh antara pola asuh demokratis dan efikasi diri terhadap keberanian mengemukakan pendapat secara simultan sebesar 34.6%.
The Hidden Variables Theory
Authors: Fried Israel
Published: April 2021

The book presents a new concept on several physics topics. The initial values are non-relativistic quantities of subatomic particles which the values obtained in experiments are actually their relativistic reflection. The subjects in the book are presented in such order that each new topic is based on the development of its predecessor that explains where it stems from. The book presents methods of analyzing traditional physics concepts to extract hidden embedded information that reveals new variables which are combined with those known. The new formulas yield results that match experiments accurately. It presents discoveries as: The electric charge of subatomic particle results directly from its OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum). OAM Offset exhibits neutral state. The electron mass is a magnitude that expresses quantitatively the square of its magnetic flux quantum, hence this mass in the Wave Function yields solutions that their squared values represent the flow pattern of magnetic flux surrounding electrons at energy levels, contrary to probability density describing odds of locating electron in atom. In calculation of hydrogen's wave function the electron and proton constitute one entity. Hence zero OAM at ground state determined by computational and experimental means is due to OAM offset of electron and proton rotation in opposite directions at center of mass. The proton, neutron and all baryons consist of three energy levels on which the quarks are orbiting. The third energy level of 80.5Gev plays a major role in the weak force while it is filled by charged mesons that are emitted thru W boson while acquiring the level's energy. The OAM of the orbiting quarks are third or two thirds of the reduced Planck constant. The proton missing spin is resolved by the OAM of quarks. The Electron is bound state composition of a negative Pion and an Electron's neutrino. The theory predicts a neutral boson of 160Gev (Accompanied by W+ boson from 240Gev decaying particle).
PRESUPPOSITION AND ENTAILMENT USED IN GRETA THUNBERG’S SPEECH AT UN CLIMATE ACTION SUMMIT 2019

Climate change is one of the hottest topics lately. Global emissions are reaching record levels and showing no sign of peaking. Antonio Guterres UN Secretary-General invited all leaders to join Climate Action Summit in New York, 23rd September 2019. This summit also featured the participation of business leaders, indigenous people, youth, and many others. The star of the showed Greta Thunberg a Swedish teen activist who sailed to New York for the event from Sweden on a zero-emissions sailboat. This research aimed to reveal how presupposition and entailment were used in the speech and how they were contributing to the context of the speech. The research used a descriptive qualitative method for analyzing her speech which involved document and material analysis to collect the data. The results showed that this research found out that the most commonly used presupposition is existential presupposition. The function is to emphasize, to draw attention and sympathy toward the listeners. While the most used entailment is one-way entailment. This type of entailment is commonly used to deliver the ideas through the utterance by adding some more details of the main idea. Existential presupposition and one-way entailment led to the referential function of language which aimed to send information or the speaker's idea to the audience. It can be concluded that the presuppositions of the speech must be entailed by the global context, which means the global context or common ground knowledge entails that presupposition. In a word, both presupposition and entailment hence become a strategy to make the audience become more focused in the context of the speech. Keywords: Presupposition, Entailment, Speech

This article principally discusses one of the enticing issues which is to accustom language politeness. This study focuses on the use of MOTHER (Madurese Theme Role Play) to accustom students’ language politeness at university level particularly at University of Trunojoyo Madura. It aims to discover and explain how maxim of  GSP (General Strategy  of  Politeness) are utilized in the Madurese Theme Role Play. Moreover, it also aims to reveal some barriers in utilizing MOTHER to accustom students’ language politeness.This study uses qualitative design of the research. In order to get the data, observation and depth interview are applied. In addition, field-notes are used during the observation and interview to collect the data. Besides, audio-recording is also conducted to gain additional detailed information that is likely missing on the field-notes. Interactive model of data analysis is applied to analyze the data, including data reduction, data display, and data verification. The result of the study shows that ten maxims of politeness in the implementation of Madurese Theme Role Play are found. The eighty-three data are classified into ten maxims of politeness: generosity maxim, tact maxim, approbation maxim, modesty maxim, obligation (of S to O) maxim, Obligation (of O to S) maxim, agreement maxim, opinion reticence maxim, sympathy maxim, and feeling reticence maxim. Besides, the seven barriers are encountered during the implementation of MOTHER to accustom students’ language politeness, including students’ difficulties to coordinate and cooperate with the team, to elaborate the plot of the role play, to discover references and find attractive story ideas deal with Madurese themes, to create polite dialogues of the role play, to specifies the context (to whom) the dialogue is addressed to, and to determine the title of role play. Keywords: language politeness, Madurese theme role play
