Surgical treatment of acetabular fractures
Authors: Trufanov I.I.
Published: September 2021

Background. Acetabular fractures are severe intra-articular injuries that require anatomical reposition and early function, but they are often complicated by degenerative changes in both the acetabulum and the femoral head, leading to the development of post-traumatic coxarthrosis. The purpose was to study the clinical effectiveness of surgical treatment and postoperative management of patients using autologous platelet-rich plasma in patients with fractures of the acetabulum. Materials and methods. Twenty-eight patients with acetabular fractures of various degrees were operated at the City Emergency Hospital of Zaporizhzhia and the Municipal Clinical Hospital No 9 from 2017 to 2019. Gender composition: 22 men (78.57 %), 6 women (21.43 %), average age 46.64 ± 2.21 years, with a 95% confidence interval 42.31–50.96. Nineteen victims (67.86 %) had road traffic injuries, 7 (25 %) domestic injuries, and 2 (7.14 %) had industrial injuries. Results. In the main group of patients treated with platelet-rich plasma, radiologically visible adhesion of the injured area after 8 weeks occurred in 10 people (83.4 %). In one person (8.3 %), the adhesion occurred after 12, and in another (8.3 %) — 16 weeks after surgery. In the control group, adhesions at 8th week were registered in 14 patients (60.87 %), in 8 (34.78 %) — at 16th week. Given the general recovery of the body in the main group, the activation and social adaptation of patients occurred 2–3 weeks earlier. The assessment was performed radiologically and by the criteria of functional recovery.

Authors: Kosmynina N.S. , Avramenko I.Yu. , Luchkovska O.L.
Published: September 2021

Background. In 2020, a new human coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), became a pandemic, causing the disease course from mild symptoms to severe cases. In this article we analyze the features of the course of coronavirus disease among children from 3 to 18 years. Materials and methods. Medical records of 69 pediatric inpatients aged 3 to 18 years were analysed. They were hospitalized in the Lviv Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital “OHMATDYT” from April to December 2020 with a diagnosis of coronavirus disease. Laboratory tests for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA were performed in samples of nasopharyngeal swabs by polymerase chain reaction at the Lviv Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The results were processed statistically using Excel software from Microsoft Office 2019 packages. Results. It was found that 88.4 % of children came into contact with infected family members. The presence of comorbidities was observed in 17.3 % of patients. The main manifestations of coronavirus disease in children were: fever > 38 °C — 52.2 %, < 38 °C — 39.1 %, sore throat — 14.5 %, runny nose — 13 %, loss of smell and taste — 8.7 %, cough — 24.6 %, abdominal pain and diarrhea — 10.1 %, general weakness — 52.2 %. Laboratory examination showed leukocytosis in 5.9 % of children, leukopenia in 53.6 %. Pneumonia was observed in 36.2 % of cases. Two patients had complications in the form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which had a severe, life-threatening course. In the period from 14 to 48 days after COVID-19, this syndrome was diagnosed in 10 children. Conclusions. Children, regardless of age, are susceptible to coronavirus and have not been the primary source of SARS-CoV-2 in the family. The clinical course of the disease was manifested in most cases by fever and general weakness. Pneumonia was observed in 36.2 % of patients, severe complications in the form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome was detected in 2 children on the background of the acute course of the disease and in 10 children this syndrome occurred within 48 days after COVID-19.
Regulation of miRNA content. Part 2. Degradation of miRNAs
Authors: Abaturov A.E. , Babуch V.L.
Published: September 2021

The scientific review presents the process of regulation of microRNA content — microRNA degradation. To write the article, information was searched using databases Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Global Health, The Cochrane Library, CyberLeninka. The article presents the characteristics of the most important process of RNA metabolism — degradation of 3'→5' RNA. Degradation of microRNA is inherent in organisms of all kingdoms of life and is involved in the regulation of RNA representation, elimination of dysfunctional or incorrectly constructed RNA molecules and processing of RNA precursors. Exoribonucleases that affect the stability of mature forms of miRNA are presented. It is emphasized that XRN exoribonucleases degrade various RNA substrates during total RNA degradation and are involved in specific processes such as nonsense-mediated degradation, gene silencing, rRNA maturation, and transcription termination. It is shown that exoribonuclease XRN2 plays a crucial role in the termination of transcription during viral infection, namely it has cytoplasmic antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus. The role of RNA-degrading exosome in microRNA degradation is presented. RNA-degrading exosome is a ubiquitous complex and 3'-5'-endo- and exoribonucleases of eukaryotes, which interacts with several processing cofactors and degrades almost all classes of cytoplasmic RNA. The article reflects the function of evolutionarily conserved phosphorolytic 3'-5'-exoribonuclease — polynucleotide phosphorylase. The role of exoribonuclease 1, which is an evolutionarily conserved 3'-5'-exoribonuclease of the DEDDh family, is involved in the final processing of 5.8S rRNA, replication-dependent histone mRNA, siRNA, and miRNA. Eri1 exoribonuclease has been shown to regulate global microRNA homeostasis in lymphocytes and to participate in NK cell development and antiviral response. Thus, one of the mechanisms of regulation of miRNA content is the most important process of RNA metabolism, which is inherent in organisms of all kingdoms of life, namely the degradation of miRNAs.

Authors: Ivanov D.D.
Published: September 2021

The effectiveness of the dietary supplement Aneza is presented with a practical approach. Aneza is positioned to control the size of simple kidney cysts. The author considers the properties of dietary supplements, which became the basis for a 6-month initiative study EFFECTIVENESS OF ANESA IN SIMPLE KIDNEY CYSTS (ETAP). The POEM study design was based on evidence-based practice and was conducted as an open prospective rando­mized in one group free of charge in 60 people aged 30 to 65 years with a diagnosed cyst I–II according to Bosniak. Exclusion criteria were as follows: invasive urological history, renal failure (chronic kidney disease stage 3 and above). The average decrease in the vo­lume of the cyst on the background of receiving Aneza in the right kidney was minus 46.5%, in the left — minus 39.9%, on average minus 42.9% (P ≤ 0.01). The best dynamics of cyst volume reduction was observed in women older than 40 years — 66.8 % vs. 52.5% up to 40 years: (t = 0.97), and in men up to 40 years old: 27.1% vs. 30.5% (t = 0.29). The study confirms the effectiveness of Aneza in people with simple kidney cysts and, in the author’s opi­nion, a dietary supplement can be recommended as an additional means of controlling the growth of kidney cysts I–II according to Bosniak.

Authors: Jyothi Sawhney
Published: September 2021

Extra medullary relapse (EMR) is the major concern of treatment failure in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Hence, their early detection may improve prognosis. Aim of the study is to identify risk factors and outcome of EMR patients with and without concurrent medullary relapse. We retrospectively analyzed 113 patients of ALL who presented with EMR in a tertiary cancer care hospital. Patients were divided into two groups; Group 1, combined EMR (with medullary relapse) and Group 2, isolated EMR (without medullary relapse). Clinical characteristics including total leukocyte count (TLC) & peripheral blood blast percentage during presentation, phenotype, initial central nervous system (CNS) involvement and BCR-ABL translocation were analyzed to identify risk factors for EMR. Incidence of EMR in our study was 15.7% (113/720 patients). Two year incidence of combined EMR and isolated EMR was 10.1% and 5.5% respectively. CNS, followed by testis was common sites of EMR. TLC >50x109/L and peripheral blood blast percentage >50% at presentation was common in Group 1. BCR-ABL translocation was frequent in Group 2 and in adults compared to children (p=0.027). While Group 1 patients presented with leukocytosis (TLC >10X109/L), Group 2 patients presented with leukopenia (TLC <4X109 p=0.001). p=0.001).>50X109/L and BCR-ABL translocation were identified as risk factors for combined EMR (p=0.004) and for in adults with isolated EMR (p=0.001) respectively.

Authors: Risaldar Prasad B.
Published: September 2021

Background: In upper cross syndrome (UCS), weaker neck flexors, anterior and middle serratus and lower trapezius along with rhomboids usually develop, and stiffness of the levator scapulae, pectoralis major as well as upper trapezius are biomechanically adapted. Muscle imbalance is the primary cause for the upper cross syndrome between the tonic and phasic muscles. Individuals with upper cross syndrome may also exhibit any of the following issues text neck syndrome, round upper back, reduced thoracic spine mobility, winged scapulae. Active Release Technique (ART) helps to reduce discomfort and improve the range of movement. Also, Active Release Technique (ART) is a manual procedure which is also being used for other soft tissue rehabilitation as well as for the management of the scar tissues. UCS and neck pain is common with uncomfortable job postures as well as in stress and anxiety, due to which muscle dysfunction starts which can further followed by altered posture around the neck. Active Release Technique was also used earlier for muscle dysfunction and for scar tissue mobilization. Changes in musculature structure may exhibit chronic headaches among the patients of upper cross syndrome also unbalanced soft tissue near the neck may create barriers for the head’s range of motion (ROM). Patients complaints were pain, decreased job efficiency for which he was later diagnosed as a case of upper cross syndrome. The patient showed great co-operation during the treatment and now the patient is able to perform his job-related tasks without discomfort
AN OVERVIEW: INSIGHT OF DENTAL BLEACHING AGENTS
Authors: Madhu Priyanka Paul
Published: September 2021

The virtue of the "perfect smile" is an easily achievable task with a better understanding of materials and diseases as well as advances in technology. Discoloured teeth can often be completely or partially corrected by whitening as it is conservative, non-invasive, and inexpensive, it is the treatment protocol of choice for the masses. Hydrogen and carbamide peroxides have been used successfully for many years; the teeth whitening technique has changed several times over the past century, and nearly 10 years before the new millennium, the technique was finally recognized by international regulatory agencies. It is important that dentists handle peroxides with a basic knowledge as it has been shown that the results will give satisfactory results. This technique depends on correctly diagnosing the stains, handling the substrates (enamel and dentin), and sensitivity. Dentists are exposed to a wide variety of teeth whitening techniques, products, and brands, and mild peroxide activation devices have been developed over the past two decades. The art is also currently subject to change depending on the effectiveness of the various light sources inactivating peroxide and their relationship to satisfactory end results. To achieve instant whitening without risk or relapse, innovative technologies and promising products have been developed. This article is intended to keep up to date with these new trends providing insight into the current clinical challenges of vital teeth whitening. The purpose of this literature review is to explain the determining factors influencing the successful end-results of the techniques and to provide an overview in order to make an evidence-based treatment decision.

Published: September 2021

Haemophilia it “philia” means love and “haemo” means blood it is a genetic disorder in which blood doesn’t clot which leads to excessive bleeding occurring to any injury or damage the bleeding is internal or external. Haemophilia is an X linked disorder. Females are carriers while males are sufferers. there are three types of haemophilia, haemophilia A, B and C out of this three type C is an autosomal recessive. The common symptoms present in haemophilia are pain, swelling, unexplained bleeding and blood in urine and stool. It is a rare condition 1 in million cases per year. Earlier haemophilia is treated by using Haemate P and Beriate P which dramatically improved the quality of life and life expectancy of haemophilia patients. The currently present treatment can help but cure is not yet found. Although physical therapy plays an important role in preventing joint bleeding and splinting to avoid further injury and a promptly designed programme to start weight bearing helps patient to gain back functionality. While recent advances like gene therapy, engineered clotting factors and an extensive pipeline of new approaches and modality. A 9 year old boy suffered a direct hit on his left knee there was no external bleeding at that time due to swelling the patient was taken to hospital where he was diagnose with haemophilia and was started with factors for Haemophila and then referred to physical therapy for pain, swelling, and improving strength. The patient responded very well to the physical therapy with significant improvement in the condition.

Authors: Kovela Rakesh Krishna
Published: September 2021

Guillain - Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological condition described as demyelination of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as a result of an immune system attack. In about 70 percent of patients, it is characterized by acute paralysis, and when the respiratory system is involved, it could become more life threatening for the patient. A further complication due to peripheral nerve demyelination greatly decreases the functional capacity of the patient to perform everyday activities. The present case report is of a 58-year-old male admitted into the hospital with history of weakness and impaired motor skills. Physiotherapy intervention primarily focussed on strength and functional activities. The primary objective of this case study was to determine the reaction of the patient to physiotherapy for reinforcement and functional tasks. In terms of strength and also functional tasks, we would like to conclude that the patient's response in the initial stages of recovery was profoundly sound.

Published: September 2021

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. Insomnia is a frequent sleep problem that interferes with daily activities. It may play a role in the development of co-morbid conditions such as arterial hypertension. Many types of research, however, imply that CBT is a superior therapy with a better long-term effect. In this descriptive analysis, we retrospect the literature concerning CBT and insomnia. To retrospect the literature focusing on CBT and Sleep Quality. We searched the databases like Google scholar, pub med and Cochrane, and Embase, web of science with keywords (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Sleep quality, insomnia, physical therapy, and physiotherapist). We reviewed 104 articles out of which 25 studies were enrolled. We reviewed abstracts of 102 articles from which we shortlisted 85 articles. 85 articles were analyzed and reviewed in detail out of which 30 are cited in the present review. We found sufficient literature supporting the use of CBT to modify sleep quality or to deal with insomnia. However, there is ambiguity about the execution of this therapy among the clinicians. The literature focusing on the exact execution of CBT is needed which will make the clinicians incorporate this treatment in their day-to-day practice and benefit the patients.
TURKISH PRE-SERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ BELIEFS IN MULTIPLICATION
Authors: Novikasari Ifada , Dede Yüksel
Published: September 2021

Mathematics teachers’ beliefs play an important role in the mathematics teaching practices. However, the instruments used to measure the mathematics on certain contents are still limited. Thus, this study was conducted to develop a Multiplication Beliefs Questionnaire (MBQ) to identify and examine the profile of Turkish pre-service mathematics teachers’ beliefs. The samples of this study consisted of 414 four-year pre-service primary mathematics teachers from 18 different universities in Turkey collected using a convenience sampling technique. The validity of the questionnaire was analyzed using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). We obtained four components of beliefs in multiplication covering, remote belief in multiplication (C1), multiplication operation belief in mathematics textbooks (C2), dynamic belief in multiplication learning (C3), and self-efficacy belief in multiplication problems (C4). The results showed that the pre-service mathematics teachers’ beliefs in components C1, C3, and C4 were positive, while component C2 was neutral. This study had an essential contribution to the mathematics literature since developing a questionnaire on multiplication distributed to the pre-service teachers. The previous studies showed that belief was subjective yet objectively influenced knowledge. Thus, identifying the pre-service teachers’ beliefs in teacher education may provide various benefits in reforming mathematics teaching.
New transmission mechanism for the sustainable and humanistic development of human capital: Demand for the ‘rigidity turn’
Authors: Kravchenko S. A.
Published: September 2021

The author considers the becoming complex reality as developing nonlinearly and demanding new transmission mechanisms for the formation of human capital and also factors that contribute to changes in these realities: self-reflection of both nature and society; social gaps and traumas as becoming a norm; backward and forward trends; the increasing number of bifurcation points; ambivalences; side effects of digital innovations; consequences of global pandemics, etc. - all of them facilitate changes in the mechanism for the development of human capital. In the 1960s, G. Becker and T. Schultz introduced the term human capital to start the studies of factors that make mechanisms of its formation more complex. Since then, many theories have been introduced to explain challenges to human capital, because various transmission mechanisms of influencing human capital have been formed as culturally and politically determined. Today, there are two challenges affecting the nature of human capital: digitalization and the global covid-19 pandemic create new requirements for human capital and change the transmission mechanism of its formation. However, the dominant pragmatic and formal-rational approaches to human capital distort its humanistic and sustainable components. The author insists on the need to create a new transmission mechanism for the sustainable and humanistic human capital development, which would include social-cultural and value elements, humanized digital technologies, bioethics and social epidemiology - in order to help social actors to function more effectively under the global complexity and nonlinear development. The author outlines the theory of the rigidity turn as a social discourse, which aims at studying long-lived phenomena of social order and developing intellectual and practical foundations of the sustainable and humanistic formation of the human capital.

Authors: Puzanova Zh. V. , Larina T. I. , Tertyshnikova A. G.
Published: September 2021

Modernity, characterized by informatization, globalization and unprecedented acceleration of all social processes, significantly differs from the reality that existed several decades ago, which affects new generations whose lifestyle differs completely from their parents. The period of growing up has changed, and society faces the challenges of infantilization which, on the one hand, is determined by various factors (media, virtualization, etc.) and, on the other hand, increases the impact of these factors. The article considers theoretical foundations of the concept social infantilism, its fundamental differences from the psychological interpretation of infantilism, its manifestations in the contemporary Russian society, and some methodological approaches to its measurement. The article presents the details of the development and testing of the sociological methodology for measuring the level of social infantilism. The development of this methodology consisted of several stages: at the first stage, a questionnaire was designed and tested on a group of students (30 respondents), then the projective technique collage was used for validation on two mini-groups of students - with maximum and minimum indicators of infantilism. At the final stage, the corrected questionnaire was tested on a representative sample of the RUDN University students (N = 550). Social infantilism can be diagnosed in one of the spheres - political, economic, everyday life, family relations and ideological views - or as a generalized phenomenon (present in all spheres). The developed method was validated in the test form and can be used in educational institutions.

Published: September 2021

In the past thirty years, social memory of the Eurasian youth has been influenced by many actors of the commerative space, who often pursue their own goals in the struggle to legitimize the new political order and their policies of the radical economic transformation. The results of their efforts should be taken into account in the implementation of one of the most important joint projects of the post-Soviet countries - Eurasian integration, because social memory of the youth is the most important resource for its success. The study aims at clarifying and evaluating the mechanisms for preserving information about the past, the peculiarities of the generation Y ideas about the common history and the current stage of the EAEU construction, which are present in the public discourse, and at revealing the relationship between attitudes to the past and to the Eurasian integration, the influence of social memory on the personal worldview, the forms and methods of its reconstruction in the interests of the post-Soviet countries interaction and efficiency of the politics of memory. The formation of social memory is defined as the activity of actors (individuals, groups, organizations, social institutions, communities) aimed at the interpretation of the collective past and common present by the youth of the countries participating in the Eurasian integration. The empirical object of the study - young citizens of the member states and candidates for joining the EAEU (18-38 years old), who live, study or work in Moscow. The article considers the respondents assessments of the contribution of each of the actors to the social memory formation and describes social memory of the generation Y as a set of views, feelings and moods reflecting the perception of the Soviet past and the common present. The authors insist on the purposeful policy of the leaders of the countries, participating in the Eurasian integration, to ensure the reconstruction of the youths social memory and the consolidation of societies.
Territorial images of Kazakhstan in the perception of the student youth
Authors: Valitova Z. Kh. , Yessimova A. B.
Published: September 2021

Since gaining independence, Kazakhstan has undergone significant changes in the territorial structure, which affected social representations of its regions. The authors reconstruct the dominant territorial images of the younger generations that grew up in independent Kazakhstan. The article is based on the results of the mental maps method applied for revealing images of the country. The authors studied the representations of the countrys territories from two geographical positions - the center (Karaganda) and the south (Shymkent). According to the research procedure, the informants drew their version of the countrys map with the most important territorial objects, and proposed associations for the features of certain territories. 80 first- and second-year students were questioned in the higher educational institutions of Shymkent and Karaganda. In the first part of the article, the authors examine the images presented on mental maps, in the second part - associations for regions of the country. Thus, the authors identify three circles of the territorial vision: core, semi-periphery and periphery. The core consists of the place of residence and the cities of republican significance - Almaty and Nur-Sultan (the so-called southern and northern capitals). The dominant images of the core are political, cultural, toponymical and resource. The semi-periphery consists of regional centers with the natural-resource and climatic images, the periphery - of cities far from the students place of residence and of the voids - territories not indicated on the map. The images of the periphery reflect mainly the climatic features of territories. The authors argue that the recognizability of territories in the perception of the student youth reflects a certain hierarchical spatial structure in which the status cities dominate.
Photogrammetric processing and application of multi-temporal satellite imagery stereopairs
Authors: Permyakov R.V.
Published: September 2021

Stereopairs of very-high resolution satellite imagery constitute one of the key high-accurate data sources on heights. A stereophotogrammetric technique is a key method of processing these data. Despite that a number of spacecrafts gathering very-high-resolution imagery in a stereo mode constantly increases, the area of the Earth regularly covered by such data and stored in the archives of RSD operators remains relatively small and, as a rule, is limited only to large urban agglomerations. The new collection may not suit the customer for several reasons. Firstly, the materials of the new stereo collection are more expensive than those of the archived one. Secondly, due to unfavourable weather conditions and a busy schedule of satellites, the completion of the new collection may go beyond the deadline specified by the customer. Well known and brand-new criteria to form multi-temporal, stereopairs are analyzed. The specific of photogrammetric processing multi-temporal stereopairs is demonstrated. Application of multi-temporal stereopairs is described. In conclusion it is confirmed that 3D-models and high accurate DTMs can be generated basing on stereo models from multi-temporal satellite imagery in the absence of the following data

Authors: Hamad Amneh , Alzoubi Tariq , Iskandrani Majd , Alhadidi Ali
Published: September 2021

This research aims to gauge the effect of cash holdings on Jordanian companies’ value and to detect whether there is a non-linear association between them. By conducting a multivariate regression on 86 non-financial companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period from 2006 to 2017. The results of the research reveal that there is a significantly positive association between cash holdings and firm value. The study also shows the positive impacts of financial leverage and revenues growth on firm value, while the results show that a size of a company has a negative effect on a value of a company. Moreover, the study notices that there is no optimal level to reserve some cash in order to increase firm value in Jordan. The methodology of the study depends on the work of Martínez-Sola, García-Teruel, and Martínez-Solano (2013) and Nguyen, Nguyen, and Le (2016). This research documents a substantial contribution to the existing research works that investigate the association between cash holdings and firm value in an emerging market like Jordan. Moreover, the findings are recognized to be an interest to policymakers, scholars, and potential investors.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Heart failure (HF) is an impactful complication of
type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to develop and validate a risk score
for hospitalization for HF (HHF) incorporating biomarkers and clinical factor(s)
in patients with T2DM.

Research
Design and Methods: We derived a risk score for HHF using clinical
data, high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), and N-terminal-pro-B-type
natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) from 6,106 placebo-treated patients with T2DM in
SAVOR-TIMI 53. Candidate variables were assessed using Cox regression. The
strongest indicators of HHF risk were included in the score using integer
weights. The score was externally validated in 7,251 placebo-treated patients
in DECLARE-TIMI 58. The effect of dapagliflozin on HHF was assessed by risk
category in DECLARE-TIMI 58.

Results: The
strongest indicators of HHF risk were NT-proBNP, prior HF, and hsTnT (each
p<0.001). A risk score using these 3 variables identified a gradient of HHF
risk (p-trend<0.001) in the derivation and validation cohorts, with
c-indices of 0.87 (95%CI, 0.84-0.89) and 0.84 (0.81-0.86), respectively. Whereas there was no significant
effect of dapagliflozin vs. placebo on HHF in the low-risk group (hazard ratio [HR]
0.98[0.50-1.92]), dapagliflozin significantly reduced HHF in the intermediate-,
high-, and very high-risk groups (HR 0.64[0.43-0.95], 0.63[0.43-0.94], and
0.72[0.54-0.96], respectively). Correspondingly, absolute risk reductions increased
across these latter 3 groups: 1.0%(0.0%-1.9%), 3.0%(0.7%-5.3%), and 4.4%(-0.2%-8.9%)
(p-trend<0.001).

Conclusions: We
developed and validated a risk score for HHF in T2DM that incorporated NT-proBNP,
prior HF, and hsTnT. The risk score identifies patients at higher risk of HHF
who derive greater absolute benefit from dapagliflozin.

Neste artigo estuda-se a compreensão de estudantes, futuros professores dos primeiros anos, sobre a aplicação do conceito de proporcionalidade direta à resolução de uma situação do quotidiano, quando o uso de uma ou de duas expressões de proporcionalidade direta simultaneamente é requerido. Participaram no estudo 72 estudantes do 1.º ano do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Básica de uma universidade do norte de Portugal. Os dados foram obtidos através da aplicação de um questionário, versando os conceitos de razão, proporção e proporcionalidade direta. Aqui, neste trabalho, explora-se uma das várias tarefas do questionário, aquela que se refere à aplicação da proporcionalidade direta à resolução de uma situação-problema do quotidiano. Em termos dos principais resultados obtidos, salienta-se um melhor desempenho na situação cuja resolução requer o uso de apenas uma expressão de proporcionalidade direta, o qual diminui muito quando a situação requer o uso simultâneo de duas expressões de proporcionalidade direta e, mais ainda, quando se acrescenta a inversão de operações aritméticas. Portanto, destaca-se a necessidade de confrontar estes futuros professores com situações cuja resolução requer a aplicação simultânea de mais de uma expressão de proporcionalidade direta.

Ibn ‘Asyur is a modern Muslim scholar, he is also a commentator and expert on jurisprudence. His well-known works of interpretation and fiqh suggestions are Tafsir al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir and Maqâṣid al-Syari’ah al-Islamiyyah. Furthermore, this article explores the meaning of “alhurriyyah” in the context of the maqâṣid al-syari’ah from the perspective of Ibn ‘Asyur. The object in this discussion is his interpretation work entitled Tafsir al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir, which focuses on analysis in QS. 2: 256 and QS. 18: 29. This research is motivated by the new maqâṣid al-syari’ah concept which was initiated by Ibn ‘Asyur since the vacuum of the maqâṣid concept which was previously brought by al-Syathibi. This concept of Ibn ‘Asyur is universally oriented. One of the terms in the maqâṣid al-syari’ah is “al-hurriyyah.” This research was conducted to answer questions about how the concept of maqâṣid al-syari’ah Ibn ‘Asyur is implemented in the QS. 2: 256 and QS. 18: 26. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical. After conducting theresearchit can be concluded that in the two letters that have been analyzed, the meaning of “al-hurriyyah” which is meant by Ibn ‘Asyur is a freedom to choose the religion that is believed and there is no compulsion in choosing it. Ibn ‘Asyur explained that a Muslim is allowed to help fellow humans in the social aspect and not in the aspect of religion, belief or creed
Interpretation QS. an-Nisa’: 34 Perspectives of Amina Wadud Muhsin and The Implication of Her Thinking In Indonesia
Authors: Rusydiana Naili Rosa Urbah , Azami Hadiana Trendi
Published: September 2021

This paper describes the gender verse that has become a hot discourse during groups that interpret religious texts as misogynistic. One of them is in QS. an-Nisa’: 34 concerning the position of men against women. The majority of classical commentators interpret this verse textually that men are more powerful than women. However, in this contemporary era, many figures reconstruct this interpretation. One of them is Amina Wadud. Through this paper, the writer tries to reconstruct the interpretation of QS. an-Nisa’: 34 with the method of Hermeneutics Tauhid Amina Wadud. As a result, first, the word “ar-rijalu qawwamuna ‘ala nisa” cannot only be interpreted as a husband and wife. This word applies to two situations that occur. The first situation is the right to take precedence over others and provide a living for women. However, if one of these conditions is nowhere, then the man is considered a failure and is not included in the qawwam meant for women. Second, the word nusyuz does not only apply to women but also men. Third, the implications of Amina Wadud’s thought in Indonesia can be measured through: the intensity of being a resource at Indonesian conferences, the spread of her work and many studies on her thoughts, either critical studies or using them as a methodological basis, and many researchers who are inspired or have the same mindset as.

Published: September 2021

Objective – to investigate the clinical features of the combined course of liver cirrhosis of classes A, B, C according to the Child-Pugh scale and atrial fibrillation in comparison with an isolated course of liver cirrhosis.

Material and methods. 106 patients were examined, of which 70 patients were with a combined course of liver cirrhosis and permanent AF (group I), 36 patients with an isolated course of liver cirrhosis (group II) and 20 healthy individuals. The diagnosis of liver cirrhosis was established according to the unified clinical protocol of medical care "Liver cirrhosis and its complications", which was approved by the MHU №751 Sep 28, 2012 and AASLD Practice Guidelines. The symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system were assessed. SPSS Statistics and Excel for Windows 2013 software packages were used for statistical analysis.

Results. Edematous syndrome was 3.3 times more common in patients with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation than in patients with liver cirrhosis (p = 0.035), in particular in patients of class C group I by 35.6% more often than in group II patients of the same class. The frequency of dyspnea in patients of group I was 7.4 times higher than in patients of group II (p<0.001), including in patients of class A by 52%, class B by 29.6% and class by 35.7%. The frequency of chest pain was higher in group I patients (p = 0.002) than in group II patients.

Conclusions. The frequency of gastrointestinal manifestations gradually increases with worsening of the severity of liver cirrhosis according to the Child-Pugh scale in patients of both groups. Manifestations of the cardiovascular system were present mainly in patients of group I and did not depend on the severity of liver cirrhosis.

The vulnerability of the Pacific Region which generally consists of small country and island nations makes countries in the region need to be aware of the threat of sea level rising. Kiribati is one of the countries that will be most affected. Therefore, the Kiribati Adaptation Program is one of the Government’s strategies that collaborated with the World Bank as the main donor party to reduce the adverse effect from sea level Rising. Divided into three phases of the program, we will see how it progresses from one phase to another. In the first phase is preparation for the program to adapt, in the second phase is the time to implement what needs to be done after reviewing the result of the first phase preparation, then in the final phase is the expansion of the program. After two phases, this third phase learned lessons from previous phases which faced few obstacles and need to be fixed before goes up to the expansion stage. Kiribati Adaptation Program will give an idea of how the strategy has been carried out by the Government of Kiribati and might become a lesson for other vulnerable countries in face the  sea level rising.
