Assessment of Finger Proprioception and Lateral Pinch Strength in Amateur and Professional Guitarists
Authors:   BPT Intern, DY Patil Deemed to be University, School of Physiotherapy, Nerul, Navi Mumbai, India, D’souza Hannah
Published: November 2020

Background: Guitarists use complex and different movement patterns in both hands simultaneously. Applying pressure on the strings and strumming both require good strength whereas playing the melody on the fret-board demands good proprioception. There is a need to find out if guitarists perform functionally well with respect to pinch strength and proprioception which are prerequisites for playing the guitar. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess and compare finger proprioception and pinch strength in amateur and professional guitarists. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted on 50 amateur and 50 professional guitarists from Mumbai. A self-made questionnaire including their demographic data was asked to be filled. Proprioception was measured using the pinch aperture proprioception device and lateral pinch strength was measured using the Jamar® Hydraulic Pinch Gauge. The average of 3 trials was taken for finger proprioception and lateral pinch strength. The data obtained was then taken for further analysis. Result: Professional guitarists had better finger proprioception (p value = 0.0001 for both right & left hands) and lateral pinch strength (p value =0.0159, 0.0001 for the right & left hand respectively) than amateur guitarists. Also, the left hand had better finger proprioception (p value <0.0001, 0.0059 for amateur & professional guitarists respectively) and right hand had better lateral pinch strength (p value=0.0001 for both professional and amateur guitarists) in both professional and amateur guitarists. Conclusion: Professional guitarists had significantly better finger Proprioception and lateral pinch strength as compared to the amateur guitarists.
E-Waste awareness among Medical Undergraduates’ in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in Delhi, India: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Dept. of Community Medicine, ESI Medical College, Faridabad, Haryana, India, Kumari Sneha
Published: November 2020

Background:Globally, around 44.7 million metric tonnes of e-waste was generated in 2016. India, being the second most populous country in world, generated 2 million metric tonnes of e-waste in 2016. About 5000 metric tonnes of e-waste is imported to India every year. This highlights the need to study awareness about e-waste among the consumers generating it. So, this study was planned with primary objective to assess the knowledge regarding e-waste among medical undergraduate students as they are also the consumers of electronic equipment which constitutes e-waste. Methodology: The present study was a cross-sectional one, done among 300 medical undergraduate students of a tertiary care hospital and teaching institution in Delhi, India. A pre-tested, semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to gather information from study participants. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Result: More than two-thirds of the (77.3%, 232) study participants were aware about concept of e-waste. Out of these 232 students, only about half had adequate knowledge about equipment contributing to e-waste and constituents of e-waste. Most common reason for purchase of new electronics was desire for new technology. Conclusion: A significant percentage of students (22.7%) have not even heard of concept of e-waste. Their practices related to e-waste handling were hazardous from both health and environmental aspect. This is an area of concern in this era of growing environmental deterioration. There is a need to study general public awareness also so that appropriate measures can be undertaken.
Rational Prescription and Cost-Effective Medication: Challenges and Opportunities in Pakistan
Authors: Aslam Fahmida , Khan Faiz Ullah , Yang Yue
Published: November 2020

Pakistan is one of the countries with the highest number of medications filled per prescription due to overly prescribed antibiotics and injectable drugs. This is due to a lack of ethical practices in prescribing because doctors are significantly influenced by lucrative financial incentives of pharmaceutical companies rather than clinical findings. This immoral activity has become significantly amplified over the past few years and continues to be a challenge in Pakistan. Currently, there is no code of ethics for marketing and promotional activities of pharmaceutical companies. This year, authorities have step up and are in the process of creating policies to regulate companies and practitioners. Implementation of these new policies needs vigilance from health officials, strong professional commitment and institutional collaboration. If executed correctly, these polices should create an environment of professionalism within the healthcare sector.

Examining Attitudes and Beliefs that Inhibit Pharmacist Implementation of a Statewide Opioid Harm Reduction Program
Authors: Frenzel Oliver , Eukel Heidi , Skoy Elizabeth , Werremeyer Amy , Steig Jayme , Strand Mark
Published: November 2020

Background:  A statewide opioid risk screening program was introduced to pharmacists to provide them with resources to screen patients who are prescribed an opioid medication.  Using opioid risk screening equips pharmacists to deliver education and patient-centered interventions for opioid harm reduction.  Nearly 50% of pharmacists that enrolled their pharmacy to participate in this program did not actively implement the program to patients.  Little research is dedicated to examining factors which contribute to unsuccessful implementation of pharmacy-centered interventions.  This research aims to describe barriers and beliefs which may hinder the ability of pharmacists to integrate innovative practices into existing workflow.
Objectives:  Using the theory of planned behavior, determine what attitudes and beliefs contribute to unsuccessful implementation of opioid risk screening.
Methods:  A survey was developed within the context of a theoretical framework and distributed to pharmacists who did not successfully implement opioid risk screening 12 month following program inception.  Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control constructs of the theory of planned behavior were used to identify barriers to opioid risk screening implementation.  The responses were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test, ANOVA, and descriptive statistics.
Results:  Twenty-three pharmacists consented to participate in this study and 17 pharmacists completed the survey (response rate 74%).  Pharmacists indicated positive attitudes toward reducing negative opioid outcomes for patients using opioid medications.  Positive subjective norm responses indicated a perception that patients and collaborative healthcare providers would approve of pharmacists using opioid risk screening for patients.  The highest proportion of negative responses was observed in the perceived behavioral control construct which included difficulty in offering the screening and unsuccessful integration of past interventions.
Conclusions:  These results suggest that perceived behavioral control of pharmacists is the most influential factor in unsuccessful implementation of opioid risk screening.

COVID-19 in children: Pathogenesis and current status
Authors: Frenkel Lawrence , Gomez Fernando , Bellanti Joseph A
Published: November 2020

Background: Since its initial description in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly progressed into a worldwide pandemic, which has affected millions of lives. Unlike the disease in adults, the vast majority of children with COVID-19 have mild symptoms and are largely spared from severe respiratory disease. However, thereare children who have significant respiratory disease, and some may develop a hyperinflammatory response similar to thatseen in adults with COVID-19 and in children with Kawasaki disease (KD), which has been termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).Objective: The purpose of this report was to examine the current evidence that supports the etiopathogenesis of COVID-19 in children and the relationship of COVID-19 with KD and MIS-C as a basis for a better understanding of the clinical course, diagnosis, and management of these clinically perplexing conditions.Results: The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is carried out in two distinct but overlapping phases of COVID-19: the first triggered by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) itself and the second by the host immune response. Children with KD have fewer of the previously described COVID-19–associated KD features with less prominent acute respiratory distress syndrome and shock than children with MIS-C.Conclusion: COVID-19 in adults usually includes severe respiratory symptoms and pathology, with a high mortality. Ithas become apparent that children are infected as easily as adults but are more often asymptomatic and have milder diseasebecause of their immature immune systems. Although children are largely spared from severe respiratory disease, they canpresent with a SARS-CoV-2–associated MIS-C similar to KD.
Ofrendas, intercambios y otros modos de relación en las socio-cosmologías indígenas contemporáneas del área istmo-colombiana
Authors: Martínez Mauri Mónica , Halbmayer Ernst
Published: November 2020

El presente número de Tabula Rasa incluye estudios etnográficos recientes que intentan entender la diversidad cultural del área comprendida por la baja Centroamérica (Creamer & Haas, 1985; Lange & Stone, 1984; Linares, 1979; Stone, 1966) y la parte central del noroeste de Suramérica. También conocida como área chibcha (Kirchhoff, 1943), intermedia (Costenla Umaña, 1991; Haberland, 1957; Langebaek y Cárdenas Arroyo 1996), región histórica chibcha-chocó (Cooke, 1992) o parte del área circuncaribe (Steward, 1948). A partir de los años 2000, con la voluntad de abandonar las categorías meramente lingüísticas y la idea que era una tierra sin entidad propia, empezó a recibir el nombre de área istmo-colombiana[ (Hoopes & Fonseca, 2003). En comparación con otras áreas culturales –como la amazónica o la mesoamericana–, a pesar de ser constantemente renombrada y captar la atención de genetistas, arqueólogos y lingüistas, ha sido vagamente definida y poco considerada en los actuales debates antropológicos.
Vitalidades en flujo: de pagar, ofrendar y alimentar a los seres del origen entre la gente I’ku
Authors: Gómez Jose Arenas
Published: November 2020

Este artículo teje algunas reflexiones sobre un asunto bastante conocido entre los indígenas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia): la realización de ofrendas, comúnmente conocidas como «pagamentos», a las madres y padres del mundo. Por medio del caso i´ku, el argumento central delinea la idea de que estas ofrendas responden a esquemas de relación que fundamentan la socialidad de este grupo indígena de lengua chibcha. Para entender esto, es inevitable explorar la figura de los mamu (los chamanes de la Sierra), toda vez que son estas personas las encargadas de movilizar las relaciones sociales, no solo al interior del grupo sino también entre este y los demás seres que habitan el mundo. Finalmente enfatizo que, si bien la idea del «pago de una deuda» está presente en las ofrendas, ellas trascienden esta idea para procurar fines mayores.
Criminal law and environmental protection: real potential and limited capabilities in the context of modern environmental crises
Authors: Dubovik Ol'ga Leonidovna
Published: November 2020

Environmental crimes statistically comprise an insignificant portion in overall crime structure, based on the number of reported cases and settled cases; the level of their latency remains high. The traditional types of offences, such as unlawful logging, hunting, extraction of water bio resources, prevail within the Russian registered cases of environmental crime, although their latency is undoubted. The vast majority of instances of criminal environmental pollution (water, atmosphere, marine environment, soil), violations of rules in handling environmentally hazardous substances and waste are not recorded, and thus do not receive due legal assessment. Currently, there is a wide variety of threats to the environment, environmental rights and interests, life and health, public and territorial security, which are complex in their structure, causes, consequences, and dynamics, and often interrelated with other social and economic factors. Among most urgent and large-scale threats, the author determines climate change, world ocean waters pollution, decline in biodiversity, wildfires, and in the long view – pollution of near-earth space environment. Environmental experts actively discuss the means for preventing such threats, including legal ones. Criminal law should also contribute to this activity.
Development of contextual advertising in the conditions of network economy: relevant questions of legal theory and practice
Authors: ermakova irina viktorovna
Published: November 2020

The subject of this research is the legal norms aimed at legal regulation of relations in the field of contextual advertising on the Internet. The object of this research is the public relations emerging in the process of creation, placement and consumption of contextual advertising. The author examines such question as the general concept of advertising and its legal definition, as well as essence, characteristics and legal regulation of contextual advertising. Special attention is given to protection of exclusive rights with regards to means of individualization in the process of arrangement of contextual advertising using the keywords, including trademarks and commercial designations, as well as mechanism for the protection of an infringed right and liability the corresponding infringement. The novelty of this work consists in determination of the existing approaches of courts and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation applicable to the concept, definition and relevant issues of legal regulation of contextual advertising, including the questions of infringement of exclusive rights for means of individualization in arrangement of contextual advertising, which ultimately resulted in development of original approach towards definition of the concept of “contextual advertising”. The author resumes and concludes on the need for legislative consolidation of legal definition of the concept of “contextual advertising” with an indication of corresponding formulation.
Preventive law: concept, structure and content
Authors: Polikarpova Irina Vladimirovna , Zaitseva Olesya Viktorovna
Published: November 2020

The subject of this research is the federal and regional legislation that regulate preventive activity of law enforcement agencies, monographic studies of the leading Russian criminologists, as well as scientific publications discussing the concept, structure and content of preventive law. The object of this research is social relations formed in the process of implementation of norms that regulate the activity on crime prevention. The goal consists in examination of the content of preventive law for the explicating the detailed structure of this branch of legislation. This article is first within the national criminology to propose an original perspective on the preventive law as an independent branch of legislation. Based on the analysis of normative sources regulating the activity in the area of prevention of offences, the author determines the criteria for their classification:  1) by legal force, 2) by territorial scope of actions, 3) by subject of legal regulation, 4) depending on the role in legal regulation. The conclusion is substantiated on the need to systematize preventive law in form of a codified normative act – the Code on Prevention of Offenses in the Russian Federation, which should be aimed only at preventive regulation. The structure of this code is offered. In the authors’ opinion, the system of preventive law is a unified legal complex consisting of legislation of the Russian Federation, its constituent entities, as well as normative bylaws that regulate preventive legal relations that emerge prior to commission of offense, and for determination and elimination of the factors that conduce commission of offenses, as well as have educational impact upon persons in order to prevent commission of offenses or antisocial behavior.
The phenomenon of consent with yourself
Authors: Babanov Aleksey
Published: November 2020

This article is dedicated to analysis of the phenomenon of consent with yourself. Leaning on the ideas. H. Arend, the author analyzes various aspects of consent with yourself, as well as their interconnection. This phenomenon is viewed in three aspects: 1. attitude of a subject towards himself (psychology); 2. “Socratic” thinking as inner speech; 3. moral act. All three aspects of this phenomenon are based on the concept of “Socratic” thinking as an internal dialogue; therefore, special attention is turned to examination of its peculiarities. A comparative analysis is conducted on the “Socratic” thinking and other concepts of thinking, namely M. Heidegger’s. Consent with yourself in each corresponding aspect has the following meaning: 1. Positive attitude toward yourself reflected in self-regard. It is demonstrated that consent is only one-sided attitude, thus its more accurate characteristic would be self-regard, rather than “friendship with yourself”. Self-regard can stem from the experience of reasoning as a conversation with yourself on your thoughts and actions;  2. A condition of thinking, namely as consent in thought (non-contradiction) and with thought. Consent with yourself is not reduced to the logical law of non-contradiction. As a manifestation of existential process of thinking, it is not a formalized procedure and depends on the personal attitude and values of the subject. It is assumed that self-regard as a manifestation of consent is impossible without the judgment of internal dialogue; 3. Leaning on the ideas of H. Arendt, the author outlines the possible interpretation of consent in thinking as an ethical principle or internal standard of conscience, spreading to the actions of an individual. The conclusion is made that the phenomenon of consent with yourself has full significance only for the “Socratic” thinking, which makes responsible a thinker himself, rather than history, world spirit or being.
Does the Buddhist doctrine of non-self denies the concept of subject?
Authors: Titlin Lev Igorevich
Published: November 2020

The object of this research is the Buddhist doctrine of non-self; while the subject is the content of this doctrine and its evolution with the course of time. Special attention is given to demonstration of the fact that initially the Anatta doctrine did not imply the denial of existence of the subject (self) as such. The author examines such aspects of the topic as the doctrine of non-self in the early Buddhism (Pāli Canon) and the problem of interpretation of the phenomenon of self in modern Buddhism, including by such cultural and philosophical figures as Ngawang Lobsang Tenzin Gyatso (14th Dalai Lama). The novelty of the conducted research consists in carrying out the first in Russia comprehensive study of Buddhist doctrine of non-self and outlining a new perspective on the problem. The author’s special contribution is lies in translations of the passages from Sutta dedicated to Anatmavada, which allowed formulating the fundamentally new conclusions. The following conclusions were made: 1) throughout history, Anatmavada underwent a difficult path from solely soteriological teaching that did not imply denial of self or subject to the open denial of subject in Buddhism of later period (the author sees recent interpretation of Anatmavada as incorrect); 2) two concepts of Anatta in early Buddhism can be determined: more common Anatmavada-2 and more “marginal” Anatmavada-1, which tends to denial of Anatta; 3) Anatmavada has evolved over the course of history from Anatmavada-2 to more nominalistic interpretations observed in the Buddhism of later period in form of the denial of self as such; 4) early Buddhism is not interested in ontological discourse on the existence of self; 5) Skandha in early Buddhism should be viewed from soteriological perspective – as a subject for meditation on the emergence, existence and elimination of certain moments of experience.
“Public Administration” in the Latvian and Ukrainian Administrative and Legal Traditions
Authors: Agapova Elena , Palkova Karina
Published: November 2020

Public administration has been studied in this article from the position of administrative and legal science. The implementation of great contribution in the formation of “Public administration” theory by American law schools, which have provided a basis of modern scientific approaches, has been emphasised by the Author. During the analysis of Ukrainian and Latvian scientists’ approaches remarks on understanding of public administration, strong connection between administrative law and public administration has been revealed by the Authors. It has been established that both Latvian and Ukrainian administrative law scientists have similar approaches to understanding public administration. It has been identified as the form of realisation of the executive branch of governmental power. The functioning of public administration in the Republic of Latvia is based on the principles of the rule of law. The Author stresses that Ukraine, during holding on the reform of public administration, applies SIGMA recommendations (Support for Improvement in Governance and Management in Central and Eastern European Countries). The efficiency of the SIGMA programme in Ukraine has been proved, within the framework of which Ukrainian legislation has been brought into line and new laws have been adopted (the Law of Ukraine On Civil Service, the Law of Ukraine On Administrative Procedure). It is concluded that administrative law is one of the main tools through which public administration is carried out in the Republic of Latvia and Ukraine.

Rakstā ir analizēts valsts pārvaldes institūts un tā kopīgās un atšķirīgās iezīmes Latvijas un Ukrainas kontekstā, veicot zinātnieku viedokļu analīzi un īpaši uzsverot lielo Amerikas Savienoto Valstu zinātnisko ieguldījumu valsts pārvaldes teorijas veidošanā, kas ir pamats mūsdienu zinātniskajām pieejām. Saskaņā ar Valsts pārvaldes iekārtas likumu Latvijā valsts pārvalde ir organizēta vienotā hierarhiskā sistēmā, un neviena iestāde vai pārvaldes amatpersona nevar atrasties ārpus šīs sistēmas. Valsts pārvaldes darbība Latvijā balstās uz likuma varas principiem. Savukārt Ukrainas pieeja valsts pārvaldes politikas īstenošanai ir atšķirīga, respektīvi, pārvaldes reformas ietvaros Ukraina īsteno SIGMA (Support for Improvement in Governance and Management) sniegtus ieteikumus, kā rezultātā Ukrainas tiesību aktos ir veiktas jaunas iestrādes un pieņemta virkne jaunu likumu, piemēram, Ukrainas likums “Par civildienestu” un Ukrainas likums “Par administratīvo procesu”. Darba nobeigumā secināts, ka, neraugoties uz valstu tiesību sistēmu atšķirībām, administratīvās tiesības ir viens no galvenajiem instrumentiem, ar kuru starpniecību Latvijas Republikā un Ukrainā tiek realizēta valsts pārvaldes funkcija.

A descriptive quantitative design was employed on two consecutive days and a self-administrative questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity and reliability of this instrument were tested and established by a pilot study. Responses were collected from 291 nursing students at a higher education institution (HEI) in Western Cape, South Africa. Non-probability proportional quota sampling was used and the data was analysed with IBM SPSS® software. The data was presented in graphs, percentages, means and standard deviation, while inferential statistics was applied. The findings of the study revealed that 85.2% of the respondents were aware of MAE occurrence. There was no significant difference between the respondents’ awareness of MAE occurrence and their year of the study. The significant (p-value < 0.05) subscale for the causes of MAE occurrence was the physician communication subscale (p-value < 0.001). Moreover, the respondents perceived the top item to be using abbreviations instead of writing out the prescription orders completely (p-value < 0.001, mean = 4.85). The respondents disagreed that the pharmacy related subscale and its items were causes of MAE occurrence. In conclusion, the nursing students who participated in the study were aware of MAE occurrence during their practice time. The causes of these errors as indicated by the respondents are mentioned in the article. Therefore, the healthcare institutions as well as HEIs must focus on treating these causes in order to reduce MAE occurrence and enhance patient safety.

While the infant mortality rate in South Africa has decreased, it remains a concern. Although there may not be any direct link between infant mortality and maternal infant-care practices, the health-seeking behaviour of mothers of newborn infants is a neglected area of research. Consequently, there is a need to understand the persons that mothers approach to prevent ill-health and restore and promote their infants’ health and well-being. The study therefore explored the attitudes of Black South African mothers regarding the use of indigenous and/or Western medicine for the treatment of childhood or infancy conditions. The study adopted a qualitative approach, guided by an Afrocentric perspective. Interviews were conducted with 18 participants and responses were analysed using thematic analysis. A key finding was that participants viewed monthly visits to Western-based healthcare clinics as necessary to monitor the development of their children. Consultations with traditional healers were intended to protect their infants against evil spirits. The main conclusion reached was that the use of traditional healing and Western medicine are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Mothers were able to see the value of both approaches, despite a preference for biomedicine.

Stressful events in an external or internal environment of a person can result in illness or suffering if there is failure to adapt oneself to change. The amount of stress that young adults face nowadays is very high. Due to strain of studies, the constant worrying about job availability and general lifestyle changes, a large increase in suicidal attempts has been seen. But even in these dire circumstances, there seems to be a buffering role of religiosity against stress in the young adults. The present research venture was aimed to study the relation between perceived stress, suicidal ideation and religiosity among young adults. The sample consisted of 60 young adults (students) taken from various colleges from different parts of the Kashmir valley. The results of the study revealed that there was positive correlation between perceived stress and suicidal ideation, negative correlation between perceived stress and religiosity and no correlation between religiosity and suicidal ideation among young adults.

Introduction: Menopausal symptoms, though well tolerated by some women, may be particularly troublesome in others. Severe symptoms can compromise the overall quality of life for those experiencing them. Material & Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was done from a tertiary care hospital. The study was carried out from November 2014 to February 2015. A total of 152 women presenting to the outpatient department of the hospital were selected for the study using systematic random sampling technique. A pre-designed pre tested semi structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: Among the total 152 post menopausal women, prevalence of vasomotor symptoms including hot flushes & night sweats were observed in 38.6% & 43.7% of the study population respectively. Psychosomatic symptoms like sleep disturbances, muscle & joint pains were seen in almost half of the proportion. The overall prevalence of anxiety and depression was found to be 18.8% and 26.5% respectively. Conclusions: The present hospital based study among post menopausal women found a high prevalence of menopausal symptoms. Health education among women in the peri menopausal age group and specialist clinics at the primary & secondary health care level can probably cater the health care needs of the post menopausal women.

Family plays a very prominent and important role in an adolescent’s life. Adolescents may encounter rejections and subsequently develop the feeling of loneliness. The study aims to investigate loneliness and locus of control among adolescents belonging to joint and nuclear families. A total of 120 adolescents (males=60; females=60) in age range of 15-17 years residing in nuclear and joint families. Locus of Control Scale Indian Adaptation of Levensons Scale (Vohra, 1992) and Perceived Loneliness Scale (Jha, 1997) were administered to the participants. Analysis of variance revealed that the adolescents belonging to nuclear and joint families significantly differed on loneliness score. Results indicated that there was no difference between powerful others, chance control (external factors) and adolescents in nuclear and joint families, and individual control (internal factors) and adolescents in nuclear and joint families. Hence, it can be concluded that adolescents in nuclear families were lonelier as compared to adolescents in joint families. The study also shows that adolescents residing in joint families possessed higher internal locus of control whereas adolescents from nuclear families had higher external locus of control.
