ELEŞTİREL KURAM BAĞLAMINDA YENİDEN YORUMLANAN HEGEMONYA: SİVİL TOPLUM, İKTİDAR ve KÜLTÜR İLİŞKİSİ
Authors: GÜREL Seda , OKUR Mehmet Akif
Published: December 2022

İletişim çağında uluslararası politikanın kültürel çekicilik gibi parametrelerle kurduğu ilişki, en az ekonomik, politik ve askeri güç unsurlarıyla olan ilişkisi kadar önem arz etmektedir. Devlet aygıtının aktif rıza temeline dayanma ihtiyacının artması anlamına gelen bu durum iktidar ile sivil toplum arasındaki ilişkinin doğasını anlamaya yönelik çalışmaları daha da önemli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hegemonik iktidarın inşasında kültürün bir araç vazifesi gördüğü ön kabulünden hareket edilerek sivil toplum ile kültür ilişkisinin doğasına odaklanılmaktadır. Bu çerçevede Antonio Gramsci ve Robert Cox tarafından hegemonik iktidarın kaynağının ne olduğu, hegemonik düzenin nasıl tesis edildiği ve hegemonyanın nasıl sürdürülebilir kılındığı üzerine yürütülen tartışmalar ve bu tartışmalar ışığında ortaya konulan kavramlar mercek altına alınmaktadır. Neticede gerek Gramsci’nin gerekse Cox’un perspektifinden hegemonik sistemlerin devletler arası ilişkilerle sınırlandırılmadığı, iktidarın köklerini sivil toplumdan aldığı, rıza üzerine kurulduğu ve aydınların yürüttükleri kültürel faaliyetlerle kritik bir rol üstlendikleri sonucuna varılmaktadır. En nihayetinde ortaya çıkan kavramsal çerçeve ile literatüre katkı sağlanmaktadır.

Challenges in Using African Languages as the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT) for Mathematics in Rural Schools: Foundation Phase Teachers’ Perspectives
Authors: Mphahlele Ramashego Shila , Manyaka Mmapeu Margret , Moshaba Patricia Ouma Nomsa
Published: December 2022

The South African Language in Education Policy (LiEP) advocates using African languages in the Foundation Phase (FP) which is the first phase of formal schooling in South Africa. This paper seeks to identify the challenges in implementing the language provisions prescribed in the LiEP in South Africa and within the region. Using the challenge-based learning (CBL) approach, this paper provides a glimpse into the challenges that 50 FP teachers based in six rural schools in South Africa face when using African languages as LoLT when teaching mathematics. Data collected through questionnaires, focus-group interviews, and observations in mathematics classrooms were used to illuminate these challenges. The results indicate that teachers experienced three main challenges: multilingual learners and learners who were taught in English in pre-school, English scripted lesson plans, and teacher training that was only provided in English. Importantly this paper identified a language disjuncture between policy and practice where the policy requires teachers to teach in African languages while the teaching material is written in English.

Knowledge regarding risk factors, warning signs, and immediate response to stroke among patients attending general outpatient department in a selected multispeciality hospital
Authors: Vati Jogindra , Sandha Parveen
Published: December 2022

Background: The stroke burden in India is very high, and its incidence has been rising over the past few decades. Acute stroke is a time-sensitive emergency and requires identifying warning signs and seeking medical attention to prevent mortality and morbidity. Knowing its risk factors, accurately identifying warning signs, and seeking medical attention within a timeline is challenging to avoid secondary complications.
Objective: To assess the knowledge of risk factors, warning signs, and immediate response to stroke among patients attending the general outpatient department (OPD) and find out the relationship of knowledge with selected socio-demographic and clinical variables of the patients. Material and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 patients attending the general outpatient department (OPD) recruited consecutively after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic profile, clinical profile, and knowledge questionnaire on risk factors, warning signs, and response to stroke were used to gather the data. Consent was taken from the patient after obtaining the ethical clearance. Results: Nearly half of the patients (43.5%) had very good knowledge, and almost the same number (43%) had good knowledge about stroke risk factors. The participants identified the most common risk factors for stroke: hypertension (77%) and excessive alcohol consumption (73%). Most patients (92.5%) have poor knowledge about warning signs, and only 7% had adequate knowledge. The most common stroke warning sign described by participants was 'confusion and slurred speech' identified by 17%. All patients were aware of seeking medical attention within 72 hours. Still, none of them knew about the golden timeline (3 hours), its importance, and thrombolytic therapy as a selective stroke treatment during the golden timeline. There is no association between participants' knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs and socioeconomic, clinical, and source of information variables (p<.05). Conclusion: Most patients have better knowledge about risk factors but lack warning signs and immediate response to stroke irrespective of their socioeconomic, clinical, and source of receiving stroke-related information. Hospitals must galvanize the efforts to disseminate stroke-related information involving nursing staff to organize different educational strategies in OPDs.
Chemotherapy and its Adverse Effects – A Systematic Review
Authors: Kaur Simrat , Mayanglambam Prempati , Bajwan Deepika , Thakur Nancy
Published: December 2022

Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy meant to destroy rapidly growing cells in the body. It’s usually used to treat cancer, as cancer cells grow and divide faster than other cells. Chemotherapy is often used in combination with other therapies, such as surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy. Usually, cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA that tells the cell how to copy itself in division. If the cancer cells are unable to divide, they die. The faster that cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce cell suicide (self-death or apoptosis). Chemotherapy drugs that kill cancer cells only when they are dividing are called cell-cycle specific. Chemotherapy drugs that kill cancer cells when they are at rest are called cell-cycle non-specific. The scheduling of chemotherapy is set based on the type of cells, rate at which they divide, and the time at which a given drug is likely to be effective. This is why chemotherapy is typically given in cycles. Chemotherapy is most effective at killing cells that are rapidly dividing.
Marburg Virus Disease
Authors: E Shanees.
Published: December 2022

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever which affects both people and non-human primates. MVD is caused by the Marburg virus, a genetically unique zoonotic (or, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filovirus family1. The six species of Ebola virus are the only other known members of the filovirus family. Marburg virus was first recognized in 19671. Two fatal cases of Marburg virus disease (MVD) were reported from Ashanti region, Ghana. On 28 June 2022, these cases were notified to health authorities as suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) cases and tested positive for Marburg virus on 1 July 20222. The reservoir host of Marburg virus is the African fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus. Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg virus disease (MVD), a disease with a case fatality ratio of up to 88%, but can be much lower with good patient care. Marburg and Ebola viruses are both members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus). Though caused by different viruses, the two diseases are clinically similar1. The incubation period (interval from infection to onset of symptoms) varies from 2 to 21 days2. Many patients develop severe haemorrhagic manifestations between 5 and 7 days, and fatal cases usually have some form of bleeding, often from multiple areas. It can be difficult to clinically distinguish MVD from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, meningitis and other viral haemorrhagic fevers. Currently there are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved for MVD2. However, supportive care – rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids – and treatment of specific symptoms, improves survival. Healthcare workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed Marburg virus should apply extra infection control measures to prevent contact with the patient’s blood and body fluids and contaminated surfaces or materials such as clothing and bedding2.

Published: December 2022

This paper describes an online multi-player game (Bidding Game), which was developed to reinforce the understanding of cost behavior and cost concepts taught in an introductory management accounting undergraduate course. The Bidding Game was motivated by the aim to facilitate active learning as students apply the theories that they have learnt in a fun and interactive manner. A survey was independently administered by the Centre for Teaching Excellence from the authors’ university. A total of 196 students voluntarily participated in the survey. The survey results suggest that the game significantly improves students’ perceived knowledge of the costing topic. Students also agreed that the game enhanced their learning and that they had a positive experience playing the game.

Authors: Lawong Diane , Munchus George
Published: December 2022

This study captured the experience of 41 international students pursuing their studies in Berlin, Germany, during the pandemic. The students were interviewed in May 2021 and again in January 2022, and asked to recount their experience starting from the initial lockdown in March of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, up until the time of their interviews. A four-step thematic content analysis approach was used to analyze the data retrieved from transcribed interviews. The findings revealed that students crafted their way through the pandemic by engaging in several changes to adjust and adapt to the challenges and uncertainties associated with the pandemic. The result showed changes in two main categories (task and relational) which were further delineated into themes (physical and cognitive changes).

Perspectives of using of somatic cells fusion process in some aspects of car¬cino¬ge-nesis
Authors: Gogichadze TG  , Gedenidze SA  , Gogichadze GK
Published: December 2022

Normal somatic cells sensitive to carcinogenic effects and capable of proliferation form firstly a binuclear cells (dikaryons) and then hybrid cells (mononucleated synkaryons) by means of fusion with another cells of the same organism, in particular with differentiated and non-differentiated cells of corresponding tissue or with cells capable to migrate. In all probability, during the perforation of the plasma membrane, i.e., after the formation of po­res, induced by different carcinogenic (and noncarcinogenic) agents and factors, the total negative charge of plasma membrane changes (decreases) and the cells develop the ability to come closer to each other, whi­ch will probably be the prerequisite to a fusion process. On the other hand, it is not excluded that perforation can assist the fusion of only neighboring cells. Initially, a set of chromosomes in a precancerous cell retains, even for a short time, the condition of tetraploidy. Because of cell fusion generates tetraploidy, it potentially might cause chromo­somal instability. The article emphasizes a possibility of using the fusion process in different aspects of carcino­genesis (therapy, prevention, etc.).

Published: December 2022

Background: Ovarian tumours are relatively common and account for ~6% of female malignancies. Risk of malignancy index is used to categorize patients into high, intermediate and low risk groups. Aims: To categorize patients into groups according to risk of malignancy in preoperative periods and correlate the risk of malignancy and to histopathologic nature of ovarian tumours. Study design: Descriptive study. Place and duration of study: Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Independent University Hospital, Faisalabad from 1st September 2017 to 31st August, 2018. Methodology: Sixty patients with adenexal masses were enrolled. All patients were investigated by tumour markers and imaging techniques to diagnose ovarian mass and then categorized according to risk of malignancy index. Staging laparotomy was done and specimen was sent for histopathology which was then correlated to risk of malignancy index. Results: There were 33 (55%) benign and 27 (45%) malignant cases. There were more pre-menopausal patients (43/60) 71.6% while (17/60) 28.33% were post-menopausal. Forty patients (66.6%) had complex ovarian masses (multi-locular, solid areas or associated with ascites). Twenty five (41.6%) patients fall in low risk group with RMI <25, in intermediate risk group with RMI 25-200 were 23 patients (38.3%) and high risk group with RMI >200 had 12 cases (20%). Conclusion: The study correlated the risk of malignancy to malignant nature of tumours. Key words: Risk of malignancy index (RMI), CA-125, Ovarian tumour

Published: December 2022

Background: Hypoalbuminemia ‎ is a strong predictor for assessing acute and chronic illness conditions. The condition of hypoalbuminemia ‎is associated with the low synthesis of albumin resulting from cachexia and wasting. Aim: To find out the frequency of 30 Day in-hospital mortality among patients with hypoalbuminemia admitted at a tertiary care hospital of Karachi. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: Data was collected from the Department of Medicine Department, Government Tertiary Care Hospital of Karachi during a period of six months from Feb 2022 to August 2022. Methodology: One hundred and seven patients who met the investigative criteria were included. A short history was taken and demographic details were recorded after taking informed written consent. 5 ml of blood from a peripheral vein and collected in a specific tube to measure serum albumin level at admission. Patients with serum albumin < 3.5 mg/dl were labelled hypoalbuminemia. Patients were followed throughout the admission, and those expiring within the 30 days of admission were labelled as having 30 Day in-hospital mortality. Results: The measurements of mean age, height, albumin, ‎and weight were 49.87±12.41 years, 159.00±7.28 cm,‎1.89±0.33 mg/dl‎, and 78.7±9.87 kg, respectively. Sixty-five (60.7%) were male, and 42 (39.3%) were female. In this study, we found that the in-hospital death rate was 14%. A significant association was found between in-hospital mortality and gender, age group, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anemia, smoking status, and family income status. Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia ‎ is a strong predictor for assessing acute and chronic illness conditions. The plasma albumin levels were reduced during mortality and extended hospital stay. Hence, the measurement of plasma albumin should be considered during the assessment of patients with cardiogenic shock.
