Published: May 2020

Objectives: This study will help us to understand what lipid profile is normally present in our population, if abnormal, timely screening, education, and proper management can be done. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi, Pakistan. Period: November 2018-April 2019. Material & Methods: For the lipid profile, intravenous blood samples were collected in testing bottles after overnight fasting of 9-12 hours and sent to the institutional laboratory for testing. Dyslipidemia was defined as abnormal levels of any of the following components of the lipid profile. Total cholesterol of <200mg/dL was considered “desirable” while that of >240mg/dL was termed as hypercholesterolemia. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) was considered as “low” when it was <40mg/dL while Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was considered as “optimal” when it was less than 100 mg/dL. Triglycerides level >150 mg/dL was identified as hypertriglyceridemia. We defined isolated dyslipidemias as abnormal levels of any of these. This study was assessed and approved by the institutional review board of JPMC. Results: 112 participants of age <40 and >20 years were registered with 62 males and 50 females. Prevalence of dyslipidemia was found to be 75.9% with significantly high percentage in females (p < 0.05). 55.4% of the participants had desirable serum cholesterol and 42.9% had hypertriglyceridemia. 58% of these had HDL levels <40 mg/dL while 18.8% had high LDL levels. The mean serum cholesterol was significantly different in males and females (p=0.018). 7.1% of the total had isolated hypertriglyceridemia, 18.8% had isolated low HDL levels, and 46.4% had mixed hyperlipidemia, with significant differences between males and females in the former two. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for numerous systemic disorders and should be detected early in life for an effective management prior to the appearance of symptoms. This study gave a high prevalence of dyslipidemia in asymptomatic young adults, with females being more frequently affected than females.

Aged cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) from an established breeding colony displayed signs of spontaneous exophthalmos. Of a total of 118 colony animals that were older than 6 mo of age, 37 (31%) displayed signs of exophthalmos. These rats were clinically healthy and had no other
signs of disease. Ophthalmic exams, molecular and microbiologic testing, and histopa- thology were performed to determine the cause of the exophthalmos and to provide appropriate treatment. Environmental monitoring records were also reviewed for vivarium rooms in which the cotton rats were
housed. Histopathology findings supported that the exophthalmos in these cotton rats was secondary to retro-orbital thrombosis associated with cardiomyopathy. The exophthalmic eyes were treated by either removal of the affected eye (enucleation) or surgical closure of the eyelids (temporary
tarsorraphy). Enucleation of the exophthalmic eye was the best intervention for these aged cotton rats. These findings demonstrate the potential for a high incidence of ocular problems occurring secondary to cardiomyopathy in aged cotton rats. Enucleation as a therapeutic intervention for
exophthalmic eyes in aged cotton rats prolongs the morbidity-free time span during which these aged animals can be used experimentally.

ABSTRACT

 

Sukses Bersama SMEs is one of the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that is involved in processing coconut into traditional coconut oil, coconut is a commodity that is spread throughout Indonesia but consumption of oil derived from coconuts  is still very lacking. Coconut oil produced is generally of low quality (fast rancid), in addition to oil produced in a turbid color and has a distinctive aroma (blondo aroma), this is caused by poor oil processing and relatively long processing times which are often where being complained by the people , therefore it is necessary to use the Fermentation method as a solution for traditional coconut oil processing which is more effective and efficient. Data analysis was performed using descriptive methods. This study aims to determine the quality of coconut oil produced from Sukses Bersama SMEs. The parameters measured in this study are peroxide numbers, free fatty acid numbers, saponification numbers, Iodic numbers and organoleptic properties which include color and aroma. The results showed that \ fermented oil from SMEs fulfilled the Indonesian National Standards namely Iod Numbers 8.14 mg jod / 100g, Nil peroxide Numbers mg oxygen / g, Oxygenation Numbers 264.37 mg KOH / g and Free fatty acids 0.17% and color as well as normal scents.

Published: May 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma hipótese sobre o caso midiático que designamos como “a Bruxa de Guarujá”, um processo sociomidiático com especificidades emergentes nas redes sócio-digitais, que culminou na forma de linchamento e morte de uma mulher inocente. Em primeiro lugar, contextualizamos o tema, a perspectiva epistemológica (a perspectiva da midiatização, especificamente sobre disrupção, regulação e adaptação em processos midiáticos) e o método (abdução como central no processo de inferências). Posteriormente, problematizamos o caso midiático em sua singularidade, numa tensão entre lógicas do boato e lógicas da informação jornalística, situada no contexto dos usos dos meios em rede por atores e instituições. Em termos de conclusão, apresentamos a hipótese (caso acadêmico) sobre o tema abordado, após um conjunto de acionamentos metodológicos que nos possibilitaram consolidar esquemas e diagramas fundamentados.

Posebna dokazna sredstva diskriminacije
Authors: Zuparević Samir
Published: May 2020

Autor u doprinosu istražuje smisao i značenje posebnih dokaznih sredstava diskriminacije u sudskom postupku. U tekstu autor rasvjetljava
kontroverziju između tradicionalnih dokaza i novih dokaza diskriminacije u sudskim postupcima kako pojedinih država članica Evropske unije, tako i država Zapadnog balkana s posebnim osvrtom na Bosnu i Hercegovinu. U tom je kontekstu posebna pozornost posvećena odnosu između vrsta dokaznih sredstava i prebacivanju tereta dokaza, a naročito novim načinima i tehnikama dokazivanja djela diskriminacije. Radi svrhovitog izlaganja i logičkog usustavljivanja građe doprinos je podijeljen u tri zasebna dijela. U prvom dijelu autor istražuje argumente pro et contra za korištenje pojedinih vrsta dokaznih sredstava
u sudskom postupku, te ulogu i značaj prebacivanja tereta dokaza sa tužitelja na tuženika. Na tim se osnovama, u drugom dijelu, zatim propituju mogućnost i domašaj primjene statističkog i eksperimentalnog dokaza, naročito slučaj situacionog testiranja diskriminacije. U posljednjem dijelu članka, autor donosi kritičku analizu uloge posebnih dokaznih sredstava u dokazivanju diskriminacije, te primjenjivosti statističke i eksperimentalne metodologije u sudskim postupcima zemalja zapadnog Balkana, uključujući i najtipičnije primjere i konkretne smjernice kako da se to uspješno sprovede u dokazivanju diskriminacije koji je i bio neposredni povod nastanka ovog doprinosa.
فرانكشتاين في بغداد قراءة في ضوء نظرية باختين

Published: May 2020

تسعى هذه الدراسة إلى إيجاد المبادئ الحوارية في رواية فرانكشتاين في بغداد على وفق نظرية ميخائيل باختين( المبدأ الحواري )، فقد حصل أحمد سعداوي مؤلف هذه الرواية الصادرة عن دار الجمل لسنة 2013، على جائزة البوكر للإبداع، حاول فيها الإفادة من الرواية العالمية (فرنكشتاين) لماري شيلي، 1818م التي اعتمدت البناء الغرائبي الفنطازي، فضلاً عن اعتمادها الخيال العلمي وأسراره العجيبة، فالشّخص الذي أخذت الرّواية اسمه (فيكتور فرانكشتاين) مهتم بشكل كبير بالأبحاث التجريبية العملية، التي تبحث عن سر الحياة وعلاقة الرّوح بالجسد، فبنى سعداوي روايته من خلال إعادة إنتاج ما تلقاه من رواية فرنكشتاين بشكل مختلف، فكانت متداخلة معها بصيغ متعددة، منذ عتبتها الأولى (العنوان) فتسرب هذا التَّداخل إلى متن الرّواية بشكل لم يقلل من شأنها، بقدر ما كان تداخلاً محموداً بالمستويات المختلفة، هذا من جانب ومن جانب آخر فقد وظَّف فيها سعداوي فنوناً أدبية كثيرة بغية النّهوض بأحداث الرّواية لتحقيق أهدافها في الكشف عن الواقع العراقي في هذه الحقبة.
