Study Design: Hospital Based Comparative Study. Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. Period: June to August 2018. Material & Methods: This study was performed on 70 randomly selected patients divided in two groups (A and B) having 35 patients in each group. Patients with poor levator function (≤5mm), moderate to severe ptosis and good Bell’s phenomenon of either gender having age range of 5-25 years were included in the study. Good functional outcome was considered as achieved when the marginal reflex distance is more than or equal to 1 mm, and was considered as not achieved when the marginal reflex distance is less than 1 mm on physical examination after 3 months of the procedure. Results: In Group A, mean age recorded was 12+6.31 while mean duration of procedure was 52+3.08. In Group B, mean age was 15+4.76 and mean duration of procedure was 55+1.82. A total of 88.5% and 62.85% patients achieved good functional outcome in Group A and B respectively. Stratification of good functional outcome with respect to age shows that good functional outcome is statistically significant in the age group of 16-25 years. Conclusion: In simple congenital ptosis, prolene 4/0 suture achieved good functional outcome and an excellent safety profile in comparison to frontalis suspension using silicon rod.

Objective: To see the prevalence and risk factors for post full vaccination (Sinopharm and Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines) weak immunity in persons with no history of viral exposure. Study Design: Prospective Observational. Setting: Syed Research Centre, Sialkot. Period: Nov 2021 to Feb 2022. Material & Methods: Eighty two individuals (male/female, aged: 24-70 years) were enrolled from District Sialkot (Pakistan). Two doses of Sinopharm or Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine were administered to each participant before blood sampling. The quantity of COVID-19 spike immunoglobulin G against SARS-CoV-2 (5-Antigen) was detected in serum using chemiluminescence immunoassay technique [threshold titer: 7.1 (detection), 105. 63 (seroprotection), 492.96 BAU/mL (strong humoral response)]. Results: Overall, 96.3% seropositivity, 89% seroprotection, and 37.8% (n = 31) weak immune response were recorded. Whereas, mean antibody titer was found to be 2312.02 (range: 0.0 – 28711.74) BAU/mL. A vaccinated male had approximately 4 folds (95%CI: 1.297 – 11.504; p = .002) more likelihood of weak immune response than females. Similarly, the rate of poor immunological outcome was higher in individuals with >24.9 Kg/m2 (69.2%, n = 27) body mass index compared to ≤24.9 Kg/m2. A person with Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine was more vulnerable to weak immune response than Sinovac vaccinated participants (RR = 2.351; 95%CI = 1.327 – 4.167; p .002; 57.6% vs. 24.5%, respectively). Co-occurrence of age (>47 years) and BMI (>24.9 Kg/m2) existed in 11 of 28 males (39.3%) with impaired immunogenicity. Conclusion: The high rate of post full vaccination weak immune response is alarming. Gender, BMI, and vaccine type were amongst the predictors for diminished humoral response.

Understanding hydraulic fracture propagation remains a challenge for oil and gas operators when exploiting resource plays. Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site-2 (HFTS-2) is a well-studied industry and government consortium project area designed to further explore this challenge. The site is in the Wolfcamp Formation of the Delaware Basin. Several techniques were deployed to understand flow units at HFTS-2, including geochemical analysis of produced hydrocarbons, which provides a direct measurement of subsurface fluid flow. This information is integral to understanding the initial stimulated rock volume (SRV) and also the evolution of the drained rock volume (DRV) over time. Production allocation is the statistical analysis of geochemical parameters allowing for deconvolution of multiple reservoir contributions to hydraulic fracture networks. Samples are captured and analyzed throughout the wells’ lifecycles and tracking this temporal evolution is termed time lapse geochemistry (TLG). Through TLG, direct evidence of vertical drainage columns can complement fracture models, evidencing annealment of fractures and effects of nearby parent or child wells. At HFTS-2, four lateral wells drilled in 2019 were analyzed five times over the initial 18 months of production. Wells were landed in Upper Wolfcamp formations. Oil samples were sent to GeoMark Research for analysis. Utilizing measurements of lipid biomarkers, carbon isotopes, and common bulk oil properties, statistical approaches were employed to allocate contributions of oil families to the wells. Unique oil families were identified in Wolfcamp X/Y and Wolfcamp A formations. Temporal evolution of the contribution of these families to the produced fluids of the four wells show that initially, all the wells had contribution from vertically surrounding units. Subsequent time samples showed that vertical contributions were reduced, and significantly so in the lower wells, and by the time of the last sample, stratigraphic contributions were limited to rock units where the wells were landed. The allocations are integrated with logs, formation evaluation, hydraulic stimulation models, and microseismic to provide a wholistic view of field development. Microseismic and modelling suggest large SRV overlap (~60%) between Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp X/Y wells and is supported by the early round of geochemical data. Significantly, the subsequent TLG allocation model suggests moderate (~5%) to very little overlap in contribution after 18 months. These conclusions illustrate that the modeled and measured SRV quickly change (over weeks to months) to geochemically measured DRV. The rapid change allows for the reconsideration of completions style and landing patterns in order to optimize resource extraction.

From sadness to anger: Public perception over Covid-19 news coverage in Indonesia
Authors: Dewi Sita Winiawati , Prestianta Albertus Magnus , Kusumawati Utami Diah
Published: October 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has driven up news media consumption worldwide. However, the concomitant rise of misinformation and disinformation has disrupted the dissemination of verified information, particularly in the digital media. The role of the press has been challenged. This research aims to measure the public perception of Covid-19 reporting in Indonesia and how the public responds to the news. This research processes data using text analysis and cross-tabulation to understand the pattern and correlation between variables. Most respondents agree that the media has done a good job in reporting on Covid-19 and distributing the information to the public, with few leaning towards a more neutral tone. However, social media ranks first as the most popular platform to search for Covid-19-related information, followed by online media and television. Despite the generally positive assessment over the role of media and the quality of Covid-19 reporting during the pandemic, most respondents limit the amount of time they spend on and the quantity of Covid-19-related news they consume as they experience sadness, loneliness, and disappointment.

Sarkasme figur politik di media sosial
Authors: Gora Radita , Girsang Lasmery R. M.
Published: October 2022

 Sosok figur Megawati sudah dikenal sebagai putri dari mantan Presiden Soekarno dan juga pernah menjabat sebagai Presiden RI kelima. Meski sosoknya dikenal pernah berkontribusi sebagai kepala negara dan juga Ketua Umum PDIP, namun tidak lepas begitu saja dari perundungan dan ujaran kebencian melalui media sosial terutama ketika baru diangkat sebagai Dewan Pengarah BRIN yang memunculkan budaya komunikasi negatif di media digital. Sehingga melalui permasalahan ini, penulis bertujuan menemukan budaya komunikasi negatif yang muncul di media sosial. Melalui Computer Media Communication Theory, penulis berupaya untuk menemukan penggunaan bahasa dan komunikasi dari netizen, serta menggunakan pendekatan etnografi virtual untuk menganalisis penggunaan bahasa dan tuturan di media sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwasanya berbagai macam spekulasi, sarkasme diutarakan dengan bahasa dan kalimat yang non lugas atau kerap tersamar dengan gaya sindiran, gaya satire hingga penggunaan bahasa-bahasa yang biasa digunakan dalam ritme bahasa komputer.

Hal ini terlihat pada penggunaan netspeak dan netlinggo seperti penggunan bahasa ‘kekinian’ hingga penggunaan bahasa lelucon satire yang biasa diutarakan dengan teks virtual di media sosial, kemudian menggunakan kata-kata akronim dalam mengutarakan pesan. Serta, klasifikasi audiens yang paling banyak berkomentar adalah klasifikasi tourists dan juga devotee, namun lebih banyak untuk memberikan kritik bersifat oposisional dan seperti berpihak memperjuangkan kepentingan maupun lembaga riset sehingga audiens terlihat tidak banyak memiliki pengetahuan tentang lembaga riset dan hanya memperhatikan sosok Megawati yang kontroversial. Sebagai kesimpulan ditemukan bahwa bentuk sarkasme yang diutarakan lebih banyak spekulasi atau anggapan, maupun justifikasi bahwa pemilihan Dewan Pengawas BRIN sarat dengan kepentingan politik dan juga upaya mempertahankan kekuasaan di pemerintahan.
In the eyes of men: Analysis of men first impression formation on Tinder
Authors: Kho Gerson Ralph Manuel
Published: October 2022

Do not judge the book by its cover. As good as it may sound, it is almost impossible to do so. As inquisitive human nature, we judge people based on what we see on them; the first time we meet them. Even though we did that many times and every time we meet someone new, the research in the field of first impression is little in numbers if we are about to compare within the field of communication science. On top of that, with the development of communication technology, people are seeking someone new as a potential life partner through virtual space. This research employed a qualitative approach to seeking the answer about "how men form a first impression based on a still photograph?". The data in the form of an interview, analyzed using four fundamental concepts of communication: verbal cues, non-verbal cues, information gathering and formation, and lastly, the concept of culture. The result shows that there are several aspects that men emphasize on to make the first impression through a photograph. 1. Facial Features, 2. Existence of makeup, 3. Accessories, 4. Body proportion. Furthermore, specific facial features such as eyes, lips, etc. They are proven to be the most important factor that men use to judge. Cultural values are used as a means of interpretation of the information they could get.

Published: October 2022

Introducción: La COVID-19 ha generado una serie de problemáticas como la del sector educación que permitió utilizar plataformas digitales para no perder el año escolar, esto ha producido en docentes y estudiantes el desafío de adaptarse a una nueva realidad de enseñanza y aprendizaje, por lo tanto, amerita adaptar instrumentos que evalúen el estrés académico producido. En tal sentido, el objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala estresores académicos (ECEA) en el contexto de la covid-19.  

Método: La muestra estuvo conformada en el primer estudio de 300 participantes y en el segundo estudio se logró evaluar a 566 estudiantes universitarios entre los 18 y 30 años (Medad=21.34; DEedad=2.926). En el primer estudio se verifico la estructura interna del constructo a través del análisis factorial exploratorio, en tanto, en el segundo estudio se verificó mediante el análisis factorial confirmatorio.

Resultados: Los resultados del primer estudio indicaron una estructura factorial similar a la conceptualización teórica, sin embargo, la recomendación empírica consistió en retirar algunos ítems, debido a que su factorización fue compleja. Con respecto al segundo estudio, partiendo de las evidencias del primero, se obtuvieron cuatro modelos, de los cuales el modelo oblicuo de siete factores estaría representado más coherentemente a la teoría (χ2=2393.181; gl=608; χ2/gl=0.121; CFI=.999; TLI=.999; SRMR=.022; RMSEA=.020). Además, la fiabilidad del constructo y de las puntuaciones estuvieron por encima de lo aceptable.

Conclusiones: Se concluye que el ECEA es un instrumento que se puede utilizar para fines de investigación y descripción de grupos.

Introducción: La integración de la tecnología en los procesos formativos se ha ido consolidando como una realidad en cualquier contexto, etapa y materia. Esta integración, más allá de vincularse a la inclusión de contenidos específicos y al reconocimiento de la competencia digital como una destreza básica, se vincula con la consideración de la tecnología como una herramienta al servicio del aprendizaje, asociada a su potencial como recurso metodológico. Método: Bajo esta consideración, este trabajo analiza, desde una perspectiva bibliométrica, la producción científica sobre el uso de la tecnología como herramienta para el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en la escolarización obligatoria en la base de datos Scopus. La muestra está conformada por 132 artículos publicados entre 2015 y 2021, a los que se aplican diferentes técnicas bibliométricas (acoplamiento bibliográfico, co-citación y co-ocurrencia). Resultados: Los resultados muestran una tendencia al alza de la producción científica sobre el fenómeno de estudio, con mayor indexación en las áreas de ciencias sociales y ciencias de la computación. Aunque las publicaciones se encuentran de manera mayoritaria en revistas anglófonas, la mayor parte de las investigaciones están contextualizadas en España, seguidas de las realizadas en Estados Unidos. La co-ocurrencia identifica la Educación Secundaria como contexto mayoritario, aunque hay una presencia notable también de la Educación Primaria, habiendo presencia de diferentes propuestas metodológicas. Destaca, por último, una repercusión notable (en número de citas) de las publicaciones vinculadas al tema de estudio. Conclusiones: Se concluye, de este modo, la relevancia del aprendizaje de las matemáticas mediado por tecnología en la escolaridad obligatoria, dibujando una línea de acción prioritaria en los próximos años.

Published: October 2022

This research aims to explore how theme-based language instruction, an innovative approach for foreign language teaching in recent years, affects learners’ attitude and motivation and to prove its effectiveness for building L2 proficiency. “Spanish and Beauty Pageant Course” is the object of the study in order to find out how intrinsic motivation exercises are, since beauty pageants have a solid fanbase in Thailand while in many Spanish speaking countries beauty contests are also a social phenomenon. Altogether 22 students of this course participated in the research, and they were requested to fill in an online questionnaire which served as a tool to collect information concerning learners’ attitude and motivation and, moreover, their final exam results were analyzed to examine their level of Spanish proficiency by the end of the course. According to the evidence collected, the Spanish instruction based on beauty pageant theme created an impressive impact on students’ attitude and motivation. The questionnaire results showed that, after studying this course, all students admitted to having a positive or very positive attitude towards the Spanish language, Hispanic cultures and Hispanic people. The most motivating factors were the instructor, teaching methods, classroom activities and class atmosphere respectively. Surprisingly, this approach did create a remarkable sense of belonging and empathy between the learners. With regards to Spanish proficiency, the final exam results demonstrated that, overall, the students were able to reach a satisfying level in every skill, especially the reading skill. However, the listening skill presented most difficulties and required special attention.
Paganism of the Balts: Sacred Sites, Temples and Sacrifice Sites
Authors: BALSYS Rimantas
Published: October 2022

It has been noted by many scholars that in order to understand a people’s history, customs, folklore, folk music, folk art, architecture, literature, theater, art and any other area of culture, one must first learn of their religion and mythology. Based on written sources known today, as well as findings and published work from other academic disciplines (linguistics, folklore, ethnology, archaeology and others), it can be stated that the main features of Baltic paganism should be considered the following: a) an abundance of hierarchically and functionally different gods, b) the ancestor cult, c) open sacred sites with an eternal flame or one kindled during rituals, d) communal rituals performed by servants of the cult in order to confirm the cosmic order or the welfare of members of the community, e) the expression of godly powers and a return connection to the gods via mediums, and hence a deep respect for nature, and f) a conception of the afterlife as reward for loyalty to the gods and their established order. This article is dedicated to one of important elements of Baltic paganism, namely, characterizing the sacred buildings, sacred sites and sacrificial sites.
Reeves of the Volhynian Town of Sokil in the late XVI and Early XVII Century
Authors: ZAYATS Andriy
Published: October 2022

The article introduces the origin of the urban status of Sokil and the way of its transmission into the possession of the Sokolsky family of princes. The author analyses two privileges granted to Sokil in 1559 and 1605 by its owners, the princes of Sokil, and also the Grand Ducal privilege issued in 1564. The latter used to be previously considered as the beginning of the urban history of Sokil. The granting of Magdeburg Charter influenced the emergence of the reeve government and it became an essential institution in the system of municipal self-government. This is one the reasons why it is extremely important to identify the names of the reeves who played an essential role in the life of the town. People received the office of reeve, in most cases, as a pledge. The author identifies eight names of the reeves in Sokil, as well as the periods of their activity. All of them were mainly nobles by origin and only one of them belonged to burghers. Taking into account their first and second names, the author assumes that most of the reeves were Poles. Most of them were also personally involved in municipal judicature, occasionally transferring this function to landreeves. The available sources allowed to make a research on the financial and entrepreneurial activities of some reeves.
The authority‘s Policy of the Interwar Poland Concerning Economical Initiatives of the National Minorieties of the South-Eastern Provinces
Authors: MASYK Roman
Published: October 2022

The Ukrainians predominated in the south-eastern provinces of the interwar Poland (Eastern Galicia) while the Polish there were remarkable for their political and social influences. The majority of the Ukrainian peasants were greatly interested in the agrarian reforms because of the lack of lands. The authorities resolved this problem in the interests of the Polish and it caused the conflicts between these two nations. In the south-eastern provinces Polish cooperation was inferior to the Ukrainian. At that time the cooperation of Ukrainians was the only possibility to realize their economic initiatives. In the Eastern Galicia the Jews were mainly engaged into trade and commerce and as a rule they live in cities and towns. The Polish law limited their economical rights. The Armenians and Germans of the Eastern Galicia were influenced by the Polish economical organizations and the Armenians lost their economical identity, but the Germans organized a lot of their own cooperations different from the others of that type.
Political Vision of Julian Romanchuk Concerning Jewish Community in Galicia at the turn of The Twentieth Century
Authors: VASKIV Nazar
Published: October 2022

The main objective of the article is to analyze the Julian Romanchuk’s contribution to resolving the problems of Jews in Galicia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries saw changes in the attitude of the leading political figures of Galicia to the Jewish community. The relevance of the latter was caused by attempts to improve Ukrainian-Jewish relations on the basis of understanding and cooperation. Such transformation of the worldview can be vividly traced in the activities of Julian Romanchuk, the leader of the Ukrainian National Democratic Party (UNDP) and a well-known parliamentarian. Like most of the other leading figures in Galician politics, Julian Romanchuk had a comprehensive knowledge of the Jewish problems in the region. Having information about the size of the Jewish population in Galicia and their political views, he was clearly aware of the importance of Jews not only in Galician politics, but also in Austro-Hungarian politics in general. The influence of Jews was particularly significant during the election campaigns, which in turn determined the number of their representatives in the composition of the elected authorities. With the emergence and development of the Zionist movement among the Jewish population, the Poles openly feared that they might lose their political ally. There is evidence that, given the political and economic situation in Galicia, Julian Romanchuk had a negative attitude to the Jewish community at the initial stage of his career. After a short period of time, however, he changed his attitude and began to consistently defend the interests of the Jewish population, including through the national aspirations of Ukrainians. This marked the beginning of gradual establishment of relations between the National Democrats and the Zionists, and the formation of the foundation for their political cooperation. Later, Julian Romanchuk continued to promote Ukrainian-Jewish relations, which were formalized in the draft constitution of the Galician Republic. The provisions of the draft constitution aimed to complete the process of gaining equal civil and political rights by the Jews in Galicia.
Lviv as a Center of National Revival During the Period of “Perestroika”
Authors: CHURA Vasil
Published: October 2022

At the turn of 1980s the Communist Party leadership dared to introduce a policy of “perestroikaˮ as a way to preserve Russia's political monopoly in a multinational country, the principles of which had been significantly shaken. However, the “perestroikaˮ was unsuccessful attempt to install democratic tools and the elements of a market economy into the autocratic Soviet background and its planned economy. This unnatural synthesis led to a partial weakening of the political regime in the country, which manifested itself in the form of a policy of publicity. It made the numerous communist crimes of the past decades, carefully concealed by the Communist Party publicly available and began the process of demolishing the Communist Party doctrine in general and communist structures in particular. For centuries, patriotic Lviv was one of the first cities in the USSR to perceive “perestroikaˮ not as a democratic renewal, but as an opportunity for Ukrainian national revival. In 1986–1987, “informalˮ societies appeared in the city. All of them came under the control of pro-Russian communist and Komsomol organizations in the city. However, the debating historical, cultural and artistic activities of the young “informalsˮ were filled with national content by semi-legal human rights unions, which advocated depriving the Communist Party of a monopoly on political power in the USSR and thus restoring Ukraine's state independence. The synchronization of the activities of “informalsˮ and human rights activists gradually transformed them into non-communist-controlled national organizations, whose program goals took on anti-communist features and whose activities gave rise to the first street protests. The key feature of 1989 was the rapid politicization of national societies, which lost their “informal” features and accepted the demands of the patriotic public of Lviv. This process resulted in strikes and “rally marathons, which turned the democratic movement into a national one and gave it liberating features. In 1990, the national societies of Lviv became the basis for the consolidation as well as the foundation of political parties that deprived the Communists of power in the city before the collapse of the USSR and the restoration of state independence of Ukraine. At this stage, the national movement was so politicized that it acquired pronounced state-building features. The final stage of Lviv's national revival was 1991. Patriotic citizens, led by political parties, were ready to repel the State Committee of Emergency Situations and were preparing for an indefinite political strike. After the failure of the coup in the USSR, the Lviv national authorities deprived Communist Parties of property and put this organization outside the law.
