Lexis of the Russian North: State and Prospects of Study
Authors: Berezovich Elena , Tolstaya Svetlana
Published: September 2019

The article analyzes the current state of the studies on the vocabulary of the Russian North dialects. The concept of the Russian North is discussed, the Russian North dialectal zone is briefly characterized in light of its linguistic features, of the Northern Russian dialectal vocabulary size in comparison with the Southern Russian dialects, and of the fundamental importance of its study for Slavic linguistics in general. The article also presents a review of the main dictionaries of the Northern Russian dialects since the appearance of the Russian North lexicography to the present day. It includes dictionaries of different coverage of the territory: macro-regional (the ones including vocabulary of the whole Russian North), the ones dedicated to certain zones (Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Karelian regions, etc.), micro-territorial (including dictionaries of certain settlements); of different types and subjects of study: lexical, phraseological, areal-thematic, areal-etymological, dictionaries of personal linguistic identity. Special attention is paid to non-professional lexicography. The review of studies (monographs, dissertations, articles) on the Northern Russian lexicon and phraseology is also presented. They are considered from a thematical point of view: these are works where the semantic and motivational analysis of different groups of concrete and abstract lexis is carried out, etymological interpretation of lexemes is given; works where beliefs, traditional rituals, folklore are considered through the prism of linguistic facts; etymological works, works on grammar, etc. The arguments in favor of the need to continue the collection of the Northern Russian dialects vocabulary and its dictionary representation are given, prospects and objectives of its study are formulated. A list of references is of high importance for researchers — dialectologists, etymologists, historians of language, etc. — it is an extensive bibliography, which contains lexicographical and lexicological works on the dialects of the Russian North.
Contrastive Analysis of Bulgarian and Russian Syntax Peculiarities
Authors: Ivanova Elena
Published: September 2019

[Rev. of: Gradinarova Alla A., Essays on the Comparative Syntax of Bulgarian and Russian, Sofia: Iztok-Zapad, 2017, 500 pp.]

This article presents a review of the book by a major Bulgarian researcher of Russian, professor of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” Alla Gradinarova, whose scholarly interests focus mainly on the contrastive syntax of Bulgarian and Russian. In the new monograph, the author concentrates largely on the points of divergence in these languages stemming from their typological differences: passive voice and syntactic impersonality, word order, communicatively marked phrasal templates, various types of multi-clause structures ranging from verbal adverb phrases to complex and asyndetic sentences, etc. The contrastive analysis of the language data helps to reveal significant characteristics of the studied phenomena. This allows the use of the obtained results and data not only in typology and contrastive linguistics, but also in the study of the Russian language, as the approach of the author in her studies is based on a profound analysis of Russian data. The book constitutes a major contribution to studies in contrastive syntax of Slavic languages.

A New Model for Pricing Collateralized OTC Derivatives
Authors: Xiao Tim
Published: September 2019

This paper presents a new model for pricing OTC derivatives subject to collateralization. It allows for collateral posting adhering to bankruptcy laws. As such, the model can back out the market price of a collateralized contract. This framework is very useful for valuing outstanding derivatives. Using a unique dataset, we find empirical evidence that credit risk alone is not overly important in determining credit-related spreads. Only accounting for both collateral arrangement and credit risk can sufficiently explain unsecured credit costs. This finding suggests that failure to properly account for collateralization may result in significant mispricing of derivatives. We also empirically gauge the impact of collateral agreements on risk measurements. Our findings indicate that there are important interactions between market and credit risk.

Stress, Cortisol, and Social Hierarchy
Authors: Sherman Gary , Mehta Pranjal
Published: September 2019

We review the literature on the relationships between cortisol, stress and various forms of social status, concluding that cortisol (and stress) is typically elevated when one chronically lacks, or may soon lose, status. Moreover, cortisol is lower when status is higher as long as that status is stable, enhances one’s sense of control, and does not also substantially increase one’s responsibilities. Because cortisol is both an output (stress indicator) and input (cause of behavioral inhibition), this low cortisol may be both a cause and consequence of stable status. Altogether, the cortisol-status relationship depends not just on one’s status but on what that status means for the individual (e.g., How frequent and severe are stressors? Does one feel a sense of control? Does one need to be vigilant and deferential?).

Published: September 2019

lntroduction: acute conditions such as cholecystitis may be treated with minimally invasive techniques with good re­ sults in terms ofmorbidity and mortality. Objective: to analyze the outcome oflaparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis performed at Hospital de San José, Bogotá DC, between January 2010 and January 2011. Materials and Metlwds: series ofcases who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Variables such as, clinical, Iab and complemen­ tary exams, time period between onset ofsymptoms and surgery, operative time, conversion rates and complication rates were reviewed. Results: of 267 patients, 173 (64.8%) were females, median age was 43 years (IQR: 33-56). At admission 130 (48%) cases were classified as moderate and 2 (0.9%) as severe cholecystitis. In 142 (53.1%) cases in­ traoperative findings were interpreted as the acute phase of acute cholecystitis. The histology/pathology correlation revealed an equal number for acute and chronic cholecystitis (126; 48%) and only chronic cholecystitis. 221 (82.7%) patients underwent surgery in the first three days. Conversion was necessary in 25 (9.3%) cases and there was only one death (0.3%) in the early postoperative period. Conclusions: acute cholecystitis and chronic biliary pain are the most frequent causes of emergency cholecystectomy and the pathological finding described as chronic phase corres­ ponded to chronic biliary pain episodes. When performed early, this surgical procedure is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality.

Authors: López Oliva José
Published: September 2019

In medical-sanitary practice, user rights such as life and physical and mental integrity may be transgressed by health­ care providers who perform aesthetic plastic surgery procedures. They may be liberal professionals, when referring to medical liability, or sanitary providers in the case of the liability of clinics which carry out aesthetic procedures. These individuals who could eventually cause harm may generate injuries to patients who are their assignees and indirect negatively affected subjects. This article results from an exploratory research through which we inquired, compiled, reviewed and integrated the results of a literature review which consolidated and standardized documents related to the research topic. The topic is medical-sanitary liability derived from aesthetic procedures and the civil liability insurance coverage of said responsibility relating the latter with the inclusive compensation of the victims of the adverse medical-sanitary event.

Published: September 2019

Based on fractal geometry, an objective and reproducible diagnosis of cervical cells was made, which differentiates normal cells from those with low-grade lesion (LEIBG) or cancer cells, quantitatively identifying ASCUS cells. Objective: to establish a diagnostic methodology of normal and preneoplastic cervical cells with simultaneous application of fractal and Euclidean geometry to define distinctive mathematical parameters of each of these states. Methods: digital photographs of twelve cytology cells of women between 20 and 55 years old (three superficial normal, three intermediate normal, three LEIBG and three ASCUS). Through a program, the fractal dimension of three mathematical objects was calculated: nucleus, cytoplasm and totality, from the box-counting method; simultaneously the number of pixels occupied by the surface of each one and the spaces occupied by the edge of these objects in each of the five grids were determined, to compare the obtained values. Results: when superimposing the two and four pixel grids, the values ​​of the occupation spaces of the nucleus make it possible to establish mathematical differences between the groups of cells, presenting as values ​​in the grid two: surface normals (53-56), intermediate normals (75 ), LEIBG (120-159) and ASCUS (104-121). Conclusions: a diagnostic mathematical methodology was established that differentiates preneoplastic states based on simultaneous fractal and Euclidean measurements of the edge of the cell nucleus. Abbreviations: LEIBG, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; ASCUS atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance); GF, fractal geometry.

Objective: to describe the clinical and etiological characteristics of patients with fever of unknown origin. Materials and methods: a descriptive study of a series of cases, retrospective, of inpatients in the internal medicine service for fever of unknown origin, between June 1 of 2009 and March 31 of 2012, in the Hospitals of San José and the Infantile University of San José. Results: total population 36 patients, average age 42.6 years (SD 19.4), 58.3% men, 25% university students, 66% diagnosed in the Hospital of San José. The most frequent etiologies were: infectious diseases (30.5%), collagenosis (19.4%), neoplastic diseases (11.1%), miscellaneous (2.7%), the cause was not found in 36%. Conclusion: in our study, the patients were young with little medical history. The infectious pathology was the most frequent, followed by inflammatory diseases and the etiological diagnosis was impossible in 36%. In some cases, tests that are considered useful were not requested. It is necessary to take into account this information to improve the diagnostic approach of these patients. Abbreviations: FOD, fever of unknown origin.
Tres casos de síndrome de ogilvie en manejo crónico con clozapina. Clínica San Juan de Dios, Chía, Colombia
Authors: Quintero Carlos Andrés , Alvarez Juliana
Published: September 2019

Ogilvie syndrome is a clinical condition with signs, symptoms and radiographic findings of intestinal obstruction without a mechanical cause. The pathophysiology is still unknown, an imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation of the colon is suggested. It is associated with a wide range of comorbidities including trauma, pelvic surgery (orthopedic, gynecological, urological), metabolic or central nervous system disorders, as well as drugs, especially atypical antipsychotics such as clozapine. Without timely diagnosis and treatment can progress to intestinal perforation, peritonitis and even death. We analyze the clinical histories of three patients treated for intestinal pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) at the San Juan de Dios Clinic in Chía, Colombia, in 2011, who required remission for medical or surgical management. The chronic use of the antipsychotic clozapine was considered as a triggering cause. The most serious complication was peritonitis and intestinal perforation, there was no mortality attributable to the syndrome or its management. Abbreviations: SO, Ogilvie syndrome

At the stage of a construction work one of the main problems in soft soil is the large land decline. The large decrease is due to the decrease in soil. The condition of poor base soil in the form of clay soil needs to be done to improve the basic soil to be able to support the construction load. One method used as land improvement is by geotextiles. The type of geotextile used in the construction of the Medan-Kualanamu-Tebing Tinggi toll road project, Parbarakan-Lubuk Pakam Sta.42 + 750-Sta.47 + 600 is a geotextile PP woven polypropylene. The geotextile type uses non woven geotextile while the study is geotextile polypropylene woven, Non woven tensile strength 20 kN / m required 1 layer of geotextile while tensile strength Polypropylene woven 30 kN / m required 2 layers of geotextile. From these calculations can be concluded that the use of geotextiles can be used as one of the repair and retrofitting.

Published: September 2019

This study was designed to evaluate antioxidant and antibacterial activities of essential oils from Rosmarinus officinalis obtained by three different extraction methods: DA: Artisanal distillation; the essential oils were obtained directly from small cooperatives using a very traditional (nonindustrial) method and based on the technique of Steam distillation; DI: Industrial distillation which is also based on steam distillation; and DC: hydrodistillation through Clevenger apparatus laboratory. The chemical analyses were carried out with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS); they identified 16 components representing more than 99.89% of the essential oil and indicate that the chemotype is 1,8-Cineole and varies according to the method used (DI: 49.09%, DA: 42.12%, and DC: 53.21%). The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the β-carotene bleaching test measuring percent inhibition of peroxidation in linoleic acid system. The disc diffusion and modified resazurin microtiter-plate assays were used, respectively, to evaluate the inhibition zones (IZ) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. In general, Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil showed a lower antioxidant and antimicrobial activity than 1,8-Cineole the major component of the essential oil.
Hesitant Recognition
Authors: Kim Dong Ju
Published: September 2019

In response to climate change, sustainability has become the keyword for exploring alternative ways of cultivation in different parts of the world. However, local farmers still understand these sustainable alternatives in terms of soil nutrients and their absorption by crops. I examine how sugar beet farmers in western Poland read the condition of crops and field conditions, and accordingly try to cope with agricultural droughts in spring and early summer. While they maintain a practical position that is extremely inductivist, they simultaneously allow for symbolic, indexical meanings. These meanings of farming practices are multilayered and evoke relationships, local histories, and traditions. The farmers accept the reality of climate change only hesitantly, and their aspiration of gaining recognition in Europe has only started to penetrate the multilayered indexical meanings of farming practices.

New U-Pb geochronological data on the age of volcanic-plutonic assemblage of Oloy belt, Alazey-Oloy fold system (West Chukotka)
Authors: Kara T. V. , Luchitskaya M. V. , Katkov S. M. , Belousova E. A.
Published: September 2019

New U-Pb (SIMS and LA-ICP-MS) geochronological data for rocks of Egdygkych complex of hypabyssal intrusions, Nichan and Vukney plutons, and felsic volcanic rocks and tuffs from host strata of Oloy volcanic belt of Alasey-Oloy fold system are obtained. Concordant ages of Egdygkych complex rocks correspond to Early Cretaceous (Berriasian-Valanginian), those for host strata, to the end of Late Jurassic (Tithonian) - beginning of Early Cretaceous (Berriasian). New U-Pb geochronological data allow confidently to distinguish uniform volcanic-plutonic assemblage of Late Jurassic (Tithonian) - Early Cretaceous (Berriasian-Valanginian) age of Oloy volcanic belt. Obtained data more definitely determine age limits of Au-Mo-Cu mineralization, associated with contacts between rocks of Egdydkych complex and host volcanic-sedimentary rocks or contacts of separated intrusive phases.
REE geochemistry and mineralogy of ores from the Talgan Cu-Zn massive sulfide deposit, South Urals
Authors: Ayupova N. R. , Maslennikov V. V. , Filippova K. A.
Published: September 2019

The high REE contents (57,23-561,2 ppm) of thin-layered sulfide ores of the Talgan Cu-Zn massive sulfide deposit (South Urals) are related to the presence of REE minerals: galgenbergite, parisite, bastnesite, synchysite and xenotime, which were found for the first time in massive sulfide deposits of the Urals. These minerals occur in quartz-carbonate-chlorite matrix of sulfide layers, as well as pyrite nodules and sub- and euderal crystals. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns are enriched in LREEs relatively to HREEs and the presence of weak negative cerium and positive europium anomalies. The LREE contents decrease by an order of magnitude and the LREE and HREE contents become similar with decreasing amount of hyaloclastic material in sulfide layers. The REEs for the formation of REE minerals are derived from mixed carbonate-hyaloclastic and ore material during the formation of layered sulfide ores.

Quantitative estimates on the ozone production efficiency (OPE) per a molecular of NOx (=NO+NO2), ΔP, and ozone production rate, PQ, are derived for the region of Central Siberia based on near surface observations of O3, NO, and NO2) at Zotino Tall Tower Observatory in 2007-2015. Experimental data follow are a power law dependencies on NOx abundance: PQ χ [NOx]-n+1, ΔP χ [NOx]-n, n = 0,82±0,06 (coefficient of determination R2 = 0,66), with the power law exponent corresponding to a NOx-limiting regime of ozone production in a weakly polluted air mass. During summer, the value of ΔP ranges from 30,0-43,7 [mol.O3/mol.NOx] which agrees well with the corresponding estimate of 39,8 [mol.O3/mol.NOx] derived from GEOS‑chem CTM model simulations. The derived estimates provide an observation based conclusion on the important role of regional anthropogenic emissions of NOx in summertime ozone photochemistry in the remote areas of Siberia.

Published: September 2019

Acil ambulans sisteminin ve sevk zincirinin uygunsuz olarak kullanılması günümüz modern sağlık sisteminin sorunlarından biridir. Halkın bu hizmeti kullanım oranı kişilerin sosyoekonomik şartlarına, sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşım süresine, yaşına ve geçirdiği kazanın veya hastalığının derecesine göre değişebilir.  Çalışmamızda; üniversitemiz acil servisine 112 acil ambulans hizmetleri aracılığı ile başvuran hastaların ve hasta yakınlarının sosyokültürel, sosyoekonomik ve eğitim durumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Acil servisimize 112 ambulansı ile başvuran 500 hasta prospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar, hasta yakınları ve 112 ekipleri ile görüşülerek hastaların verileri toplandı. Cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu, gelir durumu, önceki ambulans kullanımları, sağlık güvencesi, çalışma durumu, şikayetleri ve tanısı gibi bilgileri toplanarak istatistiksel analizi yapıldı. Çalışmamızda ambulans kullanımının erkeklerde daha fazla olduğu ve 65 yaş üstü grupta fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Gelir düzeyi artışının uygunsuz ambulans kullanımını azalttığı görülmüştür. Daha önceden ambulans kullanımı olmayan hasta grubunun daha fazla oranda olduğu görülmüştür. Yine bu grupta uygunsuz kullanım oranı daha yüksek oranda saptanmıştır. 112 aramalarında en yüksek oranın hasta yakınları tarafından aranma olduğu ve en düşük oranın ise hastanın kendisi tarafından aranması olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak; uygun ambulans kullanımı için hastaların bilinçlendirilmesi ve hastaların acil servis başvurularında kullanabilecekleri alternatif ulaşım sistemleri gerekmektedir.
The Purchase Price of Runners’ Sports Apparel: Combining Observational and Survey Data at Running Events
Authors: Thibaut Erik , Vos Steven , Scheerder Jeroen
Published: September 2019

Abstract: The aim of the current study is twofold. First, it investigates the influencing factors of runners’ sports apparel value at a running event. Second, the potential value of observational data in the socioeconomic field is investigated, as this study combines data retrieved by a survey and by visually scanning pictures of event runners. The results demonstrate that visual data gathering methods contribute to explaining sports apparel usage and consumption. For example, it is found that runners who wear a shirt of the running event spent less money on their running shoes and overall sports apparel. From a methodological point of view, it is shown that observation leads to no nonresponse and thus corrects for selection bias. Other advantages (e.g., less selection bias, less recall bias, time-efficiency for research subject, potential automatic computer analysis in future) and disadvantages (e.g., technical, labor intensiveness for researcher, privacy) of visual data are discussed.
Hastanede Yatan ve Beslenme Destek Ekibine Danışılan Hastalarda Malnütrisyon Durumu ve Hedeflenen Beslenme Desteği Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Gülşen-Atalay Betül , Akyel Simge , Öner Suat Özer , Atalay Hasan Hakan
Published: September 2019

Amaç: Hastanede yatan ve beslenme desteği (BD) tedavisi alan hastalarda yetersiz beslenme, malnütrisyona bağlı komplikasyon riskini arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hastanede yatan ve BD alan hastalarda, malnütrisyon durumu ve BD tedavisinin etkinliğinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır.Bireyler ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya hastanede yatan, BD gereksinmesi nedeni ile beslenme destek ekibine danışılan ve izlenen 100 yetişkin (≥18 yaş) hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalarda malnütrisyon durumu Nütrisyonel Risk Değerlendirme Skoru-2002 (NRS-2002) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Beslenme destek tedavisi alan hastaların hedeflenen günlük enerji ve protein gereksinmelerine ulaşma süreleri günlük vizitler ile değerlendirilmiştir. Hastalar taburcu oluncaya kadar veya hastanede ölüm görülünceye kadar izlenmiştir. Hastaların ilk değerlendirmede ve izlem süresi sonunda haftalık olarak bazı biyokimyasal parametreleri değerlendirilmiştir. Hastaların klinik sonuçları, hastanede yatış süreleri ve mortalite görülme sıklığı kayıt edilmiştir.Bulgular: Hastanede BD ekibine danışılan hastalarda, NRS-2002 skoruna göre nütrisyonel risk altında olan hastaların sıklığı %75’tir. Hastalarda hedeflenen protein ve enerji gereksinmelerine ulaşma süresi sırasıyla ortalama 21.15±18.15 gün ve 19.56±17.14 gün’dür. İzlenen hastalarda mortalite görülme sıklığı %59’dur. Beslenme desteği tedavisine rağmen tüm hastaların BD tedavisi aldıkları son haftada serum protein değerleri (total protein ve albümin) düşmüştür (p<0.005). Serum albümin düzeyleri ve hastanede yatış süresi arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Düşük serum protein değerleri mortaliteyi olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir (p<0.01). NRS-2002 skoru ile belirlenen nütrisyonel risk mortaliteyi ve hastanede yatış süresini etkilememiştir (p>0.05).Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, BD ekibine danışılan hastaların klinik durumunun, BD tedavisinin etkinliğini değiştirdiğini ve bu nedenle hedeflenen BD tedavisine ulaşma süresinin çok geç olduğu düşünülmektedir. Klinikte BD tedavisi alan hastaların izlemleri düzenli olarak yapılmalı ve hedef stratejiler oluşturularak izlem süreçlerinin iyileştirilmesi gerekmektedir.

Günümüzde yaşam süresinin uzamasına bağlı olarak, yaşlı nüfusunda artış gözlenmektedir. 2030 yılında dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık beşte birinin 65 yaş üzerinde olacağı öngörülmektedir. Dolayısıyla, ilerleyen yaşla beraber kardiyovasküler hastalık mortalitesi ve morbiditesindeki artış, yaşlılıkta sağlığın korunmasını ve sürdürülmesini olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Ülkemizde kardiyovasküler hastalık prevalansı yaşla beraber artmaktadır. Bu nedenle kardiyovasküler hastalıkların değiştirilebilir risk etmeni olan beslenmenin, yaşlının sağlığını olumlu yönde etkileyerek sağlığının sürdürülmesini destekleyecek ve özellikle kardiyovasküler hastalıklara karşı koruyacak yönde düzenlenmesi, yaşlı bireyin yaşam kalitesinin ve süresinin artışı için elzemdir. Bu derleme makalede, sağlık profesyonelleri için güncel bilgilerin ışığında yaşlı bireylerde beslenmenin, kardiyovasküler hastalıklardaki önemi ve uygulanabilecek beslenme stratejilerinin vurgulanması amaçlanmaktadır.

In this study, we prepared hydroxyapatite (HAP) samples using hydrothermal method. We investigated the effect of reaction conditions such as phosphate excess applying 1.49 and 1.67 (as stoichiometric) Ca/P ratio, pH (9/ 10/ 11/ 12) and time (4/ 8/ 12/ 24 h). Sample characterization was carried out by XRD and SEM. The results showed, all samples had HAP structure, however, lower Ca/P ratio, larger reaction time and setting the pH to 10 increased the crystallinity. Then, we synthetized Sr-doped HAP samples, varying the Sr concentration using 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 % Sr/ (Ca+Sr). The Sr content was revealed by EDX. Sr-incorporation did not change the obtained crystalline HAP phase but the unit cell parameters increased. We calculated lattice constants and found that a, b changed from 9.4310 Å to 9.4700 Å, c from 6.8819 Å to 6.9227 Å and the unit cell volume from 530.0951 Å3 to 537.6556 Å3 due to the larger ionic radius of Sr compared to Ca. The pure and doped samples had uniform, mostly needle-like morphology with 100-300 nm length and 25-100 nm. In vitro cytotoxicity tests revealed evident antibacterial activity in the case of doped samples compared to pure HAP against E. coli.
Transient 3D CFD Simulation of a Stationary Vane, Oil Free, Rotary Compressor
Authors: Farkas Balázs , Suda Jenő Miklós
Published: September 2019

The evaluation of a newly designed oil-free rotary compressor is presented based on transient 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The simulations are performed at low compression ratios and low pressure ratios and low rotational speeds. To place the results into context, the data presented in related literature was processed and summarized. The methods related to the CFD model of the newly designed compressor were developed, summarized and evaluated. The accessed CFD data are in good agreement with the results of the former rolling piston compressor related investigations. The oil free operation prevents the contamination of the working fluid from lubricant. Since the compressor is planned to work in open cycle within the sensitive environment of thermal heat sources contamination free operation has to be accomplished. However, oil-free operation also results in significantly lower performance based on the modelling results.

Give Us Vision, Lest We Perish: Engaging Disability at the National Library of Jamaica
Authors: Henry Abigail , Prawl Nicole , Lashley Beverley
Published: September 2019

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15% of the world’s population has a disability (WHO, 2011, p. 8). In Jamaica, the 2014 Disabilities Act affirms that people with disabilities have the right to education and training to ensure their ability to effectively and equally be included in all aspects of national life. While the true figures are underreported, a 2011 census found that 487,677 Jamaicans experience hearing problems. Of that figure, 5,628 persons range from being deaf to significantly hearing impaired (Statistical Institute of Jamaica, 2011). As the keeper of the nation’s knowledge, the National Library of Jamaica (NLJ) must be accessible to all members of the nation, regardless of disability or physical limitations. In April 2018, the NLJ embarked on an initiative to enhance engagement of people with disabilities through a sign language training initiative for staff. For this pilot project, 14 staff members from various departments participated in weekly sign language training sessions for a period of 12 weeks. This training series is part of a wider initiative to improve accessibility at the NLJ for both staff and patrons. With a workforce that includes employees with disabilities, the NLJ has been engaged in the work of improving inclusion and engagement of individuals with disabilities. This paper outlines the existing challenges facing a Jamaican government entity as it moves to improve inclusivity, ongoing programmes, and outreach efforts to improve information literacy. This is being accomplished through partnerships with organizations working within Jamaica’s Deaf community and through plans for designing a new, inclusive, and purpose-built facility to house the national collection.

Transvaginal sonographic assessment of follicular development and endometrial thickness in letrozole stimulated cycles of PCOS and non-PCOS infertile women
Authors: Mahtab Naushaba Tarannum , Mahmud Nusrat , Chowdhury TA
Published: September 2019

Background: Infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the leading causes of anovulatory infertility. Ovulation induction is indicated for the management of anovulatory infertility in PCOS and for augmentation of ovulation in ovulatory infertility, in unexplained infertility. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare and determine the efficacy of letrozole administration in infertile women with PCOS to that of infertile women without PCOS by transvaginal sonography.

Methods: This retrospective study was done at Centre for Assisted Reproduction (CARE), BIRDEM General Hospital 2 from January to December 2011. Fifty six infertile women including 16 diagnosed as having PCOS and 40 infertile women with regular menstrual cycle (non-PCOS) were included in this study. Patients were treated with letrozole 7.5 mg/day from day 2-6 of the menstrual cycle. Subjects were monitored once during the days 11 to 14 of the cycle by transvaginal ultrasound. Main outcome measures were number of ovulatory follicles, dominant follicle diameter and endometrial thickness.

Results: Letrozole as an ovulation inducing drug was found equally effective in terms of follicular recruitment, follicular maturation and endometrial development both in PCOS and non-PCOS women, as there was no significant difference regarding mature follicular development and endometrial response between the two study groups. Association of endometrial response particularly with follicular diameter 18 mm or more among the study groups revealed no statistically significant difference.

Conclusion: In conclusion, our results indicate that the effect of letrozole on endometrial thickness and follicular development in patients of anovulatory PCOS did not significantly differ compared to non-PCOS infertile women.

Published: September 2019

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a reversible phenomenon diagnosed with both clinical and radiological criteria. We present anatypical case of PRES with unusual delayed reversal. A 29-year-old female presented withseizure and altered consciousness during post-partum periods. The initial computed tomographyscan of brain was normal. But subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed hyperintense lesion in rightparieto-occipital region. After 7 weeks of multidisciplinary team effort, the patient recovered both clinically and radiologically. High index of suspicion with long term follow up is crucial for this curable and reversible syndrome. Because of rarity in delayed recovery, this case of PRES is reported.

Authors: Akter Farida , Ahmed Kamal Uddin , Miah Nuruddin
Published: September 2019

The effect of different spawn seed on different variety show significant effect on mycelia running rate of oyster mushroom that reduced the required days to complete mycelium running in the spawn packet compared to the sawdust alone. Effect of different spawn seed on different variety found to be significant in yield contributing characters and yield of oyster mushroom with some extent. The highest biological yield, economic yield, dry yield, biological efficiency (BE) and benefit cost ratio (BCR) 264.9g, 259.3g, 25.17g, 86.90, 9.11% respectively was observed in maize based spawn seed on the Pleurotus florida variety. Effect of different spawn seed on different variety has a profound effect on chemical composition of oyster mushroom. Considering all the parameters in this experiment, maize based spawn seed on the Pleurotus florida variety is found promising for lowering the cost of production as well as increasing the yield and quality of fruiting body. Wheat based spawn seed on the Pleuorotus ostreatus variety may be the fair choice.
