Wages for Housework: The Marxist-Feminist Case for Basic Income
Authors: Zelleke Almaz
Published: July 2022

This article explores the Marxist-feminist critique of capitalism of the International Feminist Collective (IFC) of the1970s and its Wages for Housework (WfH) campaign. WfH theorists, including Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Selma James, Silvia Federici, Marie Mies and Claudia von Werlhof, combine Marxist and feminist perspectives to articulate a compelling critique of capitalism designed to unite the entire working class, including both waged and unwaged workers. I argue that, despite the movement’s seemingly narrower slogan, the WfH demand was an implicit argument for an unconditional, individual, and universal basic income. Like other historical precedents of contemporary basic income movements, the WfH campaign was unsuccessful in achieving its policy goal. Despite its failure, its identification of unwaged housewives as workers, its extension of the concept of the housewife to precarious workers in the globalized economy, and its identification of the strategic deficiencies of mainstream working class and feminist movements are critical to contextualizing contemporary debates on basic income and to the development of successful strategies for contemporary working class movements.
Św. Józef Kalasancjusz i początki zakonu szkół pobożnych - obchody jubileuszowe
Authors: Szmerek Agnieszka
Published: July 2022

W roku 2017 Zakon Pijarów przeżywa podwójny jubileusz. Obchody mają na celu wspomnienie kanonizacji św. Józefa Kalasancjusza oraz początków założonego przez niego Zakonu. Warto przy tym pamiętać, że analogicznie do czasów obecnych, w latach wcześniejszych Pijarzy także rozumieli potrzebę upamiętniania ważnych wydarzeń ze swojej historii. Uroczystości takie mają bowiem ogromne znaczenia dla tożsamości samego Zakonu. Pozwalają na nowo odkrywać duchowe dziedzictwo i zadania, jakie przed nimi postawił Założyciel. Dają także możliwość promowania duchowości kalasantyńskiej, a także przypomnienia jak ważną rolę odgrywa wychowanie i edukacja w kształtowaniu życia społecznego.
Lustracja trzynastu miast z 1773 r. jako przyczynek do badań nad sytuacją religijną dawngo Spisza
Authors: Staniszewska Maria Kazimiera
Published: July 2022

Dawną Koronę (a potem Rzeczpospolitą Obojga Narodów) i Królestwo Węgierskie łączyły w średniowieczu i epoce nowożytnej liczne skomplikowane relacje. To spe-cyficzne sąsiedztwo szczególnie widoczne są na Spiszu, w latach 1412—1772 po-dzielonym między oba państwa. W artykule przedstawiona zostały wybrane wiadomości z lustracji prowadzonej przez urzędnika Pawła Tisztę, zlecona przez władze węgierskie już po likwidacji starostwa spiskiego. Dokument z 1773 r. dostarcza licznych informacji dotyczących sytuacji trzynastu miast spiskich znajdujących się do niedawna pod polską władzą. Obok ukazania polityczno-gospodarczego tła życia codziennego poruszone zostały w nich kwestie mogące zainteresować badacza tak życia religijnego, jak i sztuki sakralnej na Spiszu: liczba wyznawców katolicyzmu i luteranizmu, pochodzenie wykształcenie i obowiązki lokalnych plebanów i pastorów, stan zachowania kościołów oraz – słabo rozpoznane w dotychczasowej literaturze – wzmianki o oratoriach wyznania augsburskiego, powstałych w starostwie za zgodą Stanisława Herakliusza Lubomirskiego. Miasta spiskie około roku 1773 r. rysują się w lustracji jako obszar zróżnicowany religijnie, którego mieszkańcy reprezentowali złożone podejście do tożsamości i miejscowej tradycji.
Sędziowie i prokuratorzy. Skład komisji sądowych rozpatrujących zachodniopomorsko - brandenburski spór z przełomu XV/XVI w., dotyczący przynależności państwowej Granowa na ziemi choszczeńskiej
Authors: Brzustowicz Grzegorz Jacek
Published: July 2022

Spór o przynależność państwową Granowa na ziemi choszczeńskiej prowadzony był na przełomie XV/XVI wieku pomiędzy Pomorzem Zachodnim a Brandenburgią. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie duchownych sędziów w tym procesie, na podstawie zachowanych akt procesowych. Okazało się, że jest to grupa sędziów i prokuratorów, których biografie zostały wzbogacone o uczestnictwo w niniejszym procesie sądowym. Badania genealogiczne dowiodły, że liczni sędziowie mieli krewnych zamieszkujących w okolicy Granowa, zarówno po pomorskiej, jak i nowomarchijskiej stronie. Strona zachodniopomorska powołała do procesów silniejszy i liczniejszy skład sędziowski. Byli to duchowni znawcy prawa, a jednocześnie najbliżsi współpracownicy księcia Bogusława X i biskupa kamieńskiego. Księcia zachodniopomorskiego reprezentowali podczas tego procesu: biskup kamieński Marcin Karith, z ramienia którego wyznaczono na prokuratorów dwóch duchownych: Jana Szwane kanonika kamień-skiego i nadwornego sekretarza księcia zachodniopomorskiego oraz Andreasa Beckera radcę zakonnego i doktora prawa. Kolejnymi pomorskimi duchownymi wchodzącymi w skład ławy sędziowskiej byli: wikary szczeciński Johann Otto i zakonny doktor prawa, archidiakon pyrzycki i słupski oraz prałat Kaspar von Güntersberg. Jako pomorskich protokolantów źródła wymieniły pisarza biskupa kamieńskiego Jurgena Angelkena i Konrada von Kremptzowa kancelistę kolegiaty kamieńskiej i sekretarza księcia Bogusława. Elektora brandenburskiego w procesie reprezentował Jerzy von Schlaberendorf mistrz brandenburskich joannitów na Pomorze i Marchię Brandenburską oraz adwokaci Michael Ukerow oraz Benedykt Starszy von Sydow. Pomimo mniej licznego składu ławy sędziowskiej po stronie brandenburskiej, proces został przez nich wygrany i zakończony potwierdzeniem przynależności Granowa do Nowej Marchii.

Sodalicja Mariańska uczennic I liceum im. A. Mickiewicza we Lwowie prowadzona przez O. Teofila Tyrankiewicza
Authors: Kamiński Piotr
Published: July 2022

Celem niniejszej publikacji jest zwrócenie uwagi na działalność organizacji katolickiej, dzisiaj już nieco zapomnianej, lecz kiedyś święcącej triumfy jaką jest Sodalicja Mariańska. Powstałe w XVI wieku stowarzyszenie stawiało sobie za cel: szerzenie szczególnego nabożeństwa i kultu Najświętszej Maryi Panny, samo uświęcenie oraz pracę apostolską w swoim środowisku. Funkcjonująca początkowo, jedynie wśród uczniów kolegiów jezuickich, Sodalicja zaczęła stopniowo obejmować ludzi wszystkich stanów i środowisk. Wystarczy wspomnieć, że sodalisami byli zarówno rzemieślnicy, urzędnicy czy nauczyciele jak i królowie, magnaci i szlachta. Sodalicja poprzez inten-sywną pracę apostolską, wychowawczą oraz charytatywną położyła ogromne zasługi przede wszystkim w kwestii szerzenia i obrony wiary chrześcijańskiej, ale też podno-sząc poziom moralny i materialny poszczególnych społeczeństw. W powyższym artykule poddano analizie Sodalicję Mariańską, która działała przy Zakładzie Wychowawczo-Naukowym Olgi z Filippich-Żychowiczowej we Lwowie, a następnie w Krakowie w latach 1926-1949. Owa organizacja pozostawiła po sobie dość sporą dokumentację co pozwoliło przede wszystkim ocenić jej strukturę i stan osobowy, a także, powstałe w trakcie działalności problemy. Organizacja prowadziła swa działalność w trzech różnych okresach historii Polski: międzywojennym, II wojny światowej oraz początkach PRL. Wymuszało to niej zmianę specyfiki funkcjonowania i konieczność adaptacji do nowej sytuacji społeczno-politycznej.
Human albumin solution utilization patterns prior and during COVID-19 pandemic in United Arab Emirates: Time to develop and implement national guideline on prescribing and utilization
Authors: Sallam Mohammed , Snygg Johan
Published: July 2022

The human albumin solution (HAS) has limited but important indications in clinical practice. However, the inappropriate use of HAS can be costly. Thus, it is imperative to establish a practical protocol to use albumin products and rationalize its usage. The aim of this study was to identify albumin utilization patterns in a multi-specialty private hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), before and during the COVID-19 epidemic in the country. In addition, the objectives were to demonstrate the importance of reconsidering the prescribing strategies for albumin administration. All data on 20% HAS administration in Mediclinic Welcare Hospital were retrieved during January 2019–May 2021, including the total quantities administered and data on primary diagnosis. A total of 579 patient admissions with several diagnoses were included in the study. The percentage of clinically indicated 20% HAS administration decreased from 13.0% in the pre-COVID-19 phase to 1.5% in the COVID-19 phase (P<0.001). An increase in the administration of 20% HAS not backed by agreed clinical evidence followed the increase in new number of COVID-19 cases in the UAE. The current study showed a large proportion of administered HAS, that drastically increased during COVID-19 with lack of clear evidence of its benefit. This pilot study should be followed by refining of the institutional guidelines of HAS use, frequent audits and interactive educational interventions. In turn, the refinement of HAS administration guidelines can help to reduce the unjustified cost of inappropriate HAS use.
CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY THE TEACHERS HANDLING ORAL SPEECH COMMUNICATION COURSES IN THE ERA OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Louie P. Gula
Published: July 2022

The fundamental reason for this survey is to point out the challenges encountered by the teachers, students, schools, and parents in facing and handling oral speech communication subjects during the pandemic. Given that, most of the medium of instruction used is distance learning. It poses issues and concerns about how our respondents dealt with the situation. A descriptive- survey research design was used to obtain themes and phenomena to the questions provided. The questionnaire includes questions that seek to gather information on their basic profile, current experiences, and behavior towards the problem. It was found out that the different problems encountered by the teachers, students, school, and parents include the validity of the issue, the lack of motivation which was a very complicated problem because it deals with emotional readiness and stability, and the difficulty in comprehending the topics of the module because lessons are not explained personally by the teachers. Therefore, oral speech communication requires an in-depth shift in lesson delivery to cater to the needs for improvement.

INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO TEACHING ENGLISH: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES AND PRACTICES
Authors: Muhammad Khan, Niaz H. Soomro
Published: July 2022

This research study draws upon a qualitative case study design through thematic analysis on teachers’ beliefs and practices related to integrative approaches to teaching English language at English Language Tuitions Centers (ELTCs) in Quetta, Balochistan. The data was collected via semi-structured interviews and classroom observations following a purposive sampling technique with 10 male and female English language teachers from different ELTCs at Quetta city. Based on the thematic analysis of the two types of data, five themes emerged. These themes included (a) Integrated ELT Approaches, (b) Integrated Classroom Activities, (c) Reasons for Integration of Various Approaches, (d) Impact on Learning the Target Language, and (e) Suggestions (to the teachers). These findings demonstrate that there is a growing acceptance for and the use of integrative approach to teaching English language by the teachers at the ELTCs in Quetta city by incorporating the diverse teaching & learning qualities of different approaches within the same classroom/session. This, in a way, is also paving a way forward to differentiated language teaching as well as adapting ways to meet the learners’ needs to a greater extent. However, it may be suggested that future researchers should look into more details in terms of variety of contexts and the impact of training and/or experience of English teachers influences the teaching styles in a post-method era.

Authors: Muhammad Sarwar, Muhammad Aslam, Shaukat Ali
Published: July 2022

The goal of this study was to discover the link between secondary school teachers' collegial practises and their professional dedication. This study used a corelational research design. Both a questionnaire on collegial behaviours and a second on professional commitment were utilised to gather data for this study. For this study, researchers gathered a sample of 240 Lahore District secondary school teachers (120 men and 120 women). The selection of the sample was accomplished by the use of a multistage sampling procedure. The social science statistics programme was used to tabulate and analyse the data that was acquired using instruments (SPSS). An inferential test and a t-test with an independent sample were utilised, together with the Pearson correlation coefficient, in order to answer the study question. In this study, secondary school teachers' collegial behaviours and their professional dedication were found to be significantly different. Furthermore, secondary school teachers' collegial practises were found to have a substantial association with their professional commitment. Teachers should be encouraged to cultivate collegiality among them so that they can more successfully and efficiently carry out their responsibilities in schools, as was previously stated.

Authors: Tayyibah Roohi, Naima Qureshi, Intizar Hussain Butt
Published: July 2022

The aim of this research was to validate a scale to assess teacher educators' views and challenges on teaching for social justice. To develop and operationalize the initial item pool, a comprehensive examination of the relevant literature was done. The quantitative scale addressed the basic values of social justice. Democracy, diversity and equity are the core values of social justice. 58 items were drafted initially and sent for experts’ opinions. After their feedback, eight unnecessary and unclear items were removed from the tool. For the scale, a total of 50 items were finalized, divided into four domains: 24 items under democracy, 6 under diversity, 10 under equity and 10 regarding challenges. The scale was given to 60 teacher educators from four public sector universities via a survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were used to verify the scale's validity and reliability statistically. The loading values for the factors ranged from .897 to 0.521. The pooled items were reduced by 05 items, resulting in a total of 50 items in the final edition. The completed scale demonstrates appropriate reliability and validity across social justice value criteria. This scale, in theory, can help identify the obstacles of addressing social justice in higher education classrooms. The scale for teacher educators' concepts of teaching for social justice could be useful in determining how social justice values are practiced in higher education classrooms.
Cinereomyces wuliangshanensis sp. nov. from China
Authors: Luo Kai-Yue , Zhao Chang-Lin
Published: July 2022

A new poroid wood-inhabiting fungal species, Cinereomyces wuliangshanensis, is proposed based on morphological and molecular characters. The species is characterized by resupinate brittle basidiomata with a white pore surface, a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative
hyphae, and subglobose to broadly ellipsoid hyaline thin-walled smooth basidiospores (4.2–5.1 × 2.9–3.8 μm). Sequences were generated from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene and phylogenetically analyzed using maximum likelihood,
maximum parsimony, and Bayesian inference methods. The phylogeny strongly (100% BS, 100% BT, 1.00 BPP) supports C. wuliangshanensis in a monophyletic lineage grouping with C. lindbladii and a clade comprising Obba rivulosa and O. valdiviana.

The A to E (ABCDE) Pit Crew Model: A Novel Approach to Team Based Care of Critical Patients in the Prehospital Setting
Authors: Walker Ayanna , Oswald Adam , Wanthal Jessica , Van Dillen Christine , Plamoottil Cherian , Patel Parth , Tassone Maria , Ganti Latha
Published: July 2022

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Pit Crew intervention to improve team dynamics and time to performance of critical actions in a prehospital critical care scenario. The primary outcome was successful completion of critical actions and time to completion of these critical actions. Secondary outcomes included effectiveness of communication and overall team functioning.

Methods

The study was conducted with a fire-based Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system with 233 paramedics and 115 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). Eight EMS crews comprised of five members each were randomly selected and assigned to either the intervention or the control group. The intervention group (n=20) watched a thirty-minute video prior to the training describing the “Pit Crew Approach;” the control group (n=20) did not watch the video. Each crew was given the same simulation scenario of a pediatric patient that had overdosed on a beta-blocker. Completion of predetermined critical tasks were noted and timestamped. A survey was administered to the participants following the training to assess team dynamics and level of confidence.

Results

Three outcomes were statistically significant between the two arms: The interventional group felt they themselves had a more defined role in the resuscitation in comparison to the non-interventional group (p= 0.021). The interventional group also felt that their team members had a clearer and more defined role than the nonintervention group (p= 0.018). The interventional group also felt more confident managing a beta blocker overdose than the nonintervention group (p.007). The only statistically significant secondary outcome finding was in scene departure decision: the interventional arm spent more time on-scene (p=0.031). Of note, the non-intervention group missed performing tasks more often than the interventional group and team leaders of these groups often performed task(s) while also directing the patient care.

Conclusion

The Pit Crew model was developed to optimize communication and team function. Our data identified that a formal instruction of the pit crew approach to a critical care scenario improved comfort in patient care. Future studies are needed evaluate other methods of training and the effects of continued formal pit-crew training over time.

Authors: Almutairi Athari , Jahan Saulat
Published: July 2022

Background and Objectives

Anxiety disorders are common but under-recognized psychiatric disorders. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of anxiety and factors associated with anxiety during the Covid 19 pandemic among female medical students at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia.

Methods

An online cross-sectional survey, using a self-administered questionnaire, was conducted from August to December 2021. The questionnaire using Google Forms, submitted to the WhatsApp groups of female medical students, gathered personal data and information related to the Covid19 pandemic effects. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used for measuring the severity of anxiety.

Results

Out of 278 invited students, 179 responded (response rate: 64.4%). Mean age of the respondents was 22.45 (±1.57) years, 89.9% were living with their parents, and 46.9% perceived their academic performance as ‘Good’. A total of 34 (19%) suffered from COVID-19, and 50.3% (n=90) of students reported family members affected by COVID-19, and 24.4% of the affected family members were hospitalized. The prevalence of anxiety among study participants was 26.8% (n=48); 31 (17.3%) participants had moderate and 17 (9.5%) had severe anxiety. The overall median anxiety score was 11 (IQR=21). In the younger age group (18-22 years), those who perceived their academic performance as ’poor or fair, and those living alone or with relatives and friends had higher anxiety scores, and the differences were statistically significant at p=0.042, p=0.018, and p=0.01, respectively.

Conclusion

Anxiety among female medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic was high. Mental health services including counseling and mental health education in universities are recommended.

Published: July 2022

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. Current treatment options for ADHD include pharmacological treatment (stimulants, non-stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics), psychological treatment (behavioral therapy with or without parent training, cognitive training, neurofeedback), and complementary and alternative therapies (vitamin supplementation, exercise). Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are the primary pharmacological therapy used in treatment; however, these stimulant drugs carry a high potential for abuse and severe psychological/physical dependence. Viloxazine, a non-stimulant medication without evidence of drug dependence, is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that has historically been prescribed as an anti-depressant medication. The extended-release (ER) form was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2021 for the treatment of ADHD in pediatric patients aged 6-17 years. Phase 2 and 3 randomized control trials have demonstrated significant efficacy of viloxazine in improving ADHD symptoms versus placebo. Related to its long-standing use as an antidepressant, the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of viloxazine are well understood. Viloxazine appears to be a suitable alternative to current standard-of-care pharmacotherapy for ADHD, but the further investigation remains to be done in comparing its efficacy to that of current treatments.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting millions of individuals, including family members who often take on the role of caregivers. This debilitating disease reportedly consumes 8% of the total United States healthcare expenditure, with medical and nursing outlays accounting for an estimated $290 billion. Cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists have historically been the most widely used pharmacologic therapies for patients with AD; however, these drugs are not curative. The present investigation describes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, presentation, and current treatment of AD followed by the role of the novel monoclonal antibody, Adulhelm, in the treatment of AD. Currently, Adulhelm is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug that acts to slow the progression of this disease. Adulhelm is an anti-amyloid drug that functions by selectively binding amyloid aggregates in both the oligomeric and fibrillar states. Studies show Adulhelm may help to restore neurological function in patients with AD by reducing beta-amyloid plaques and reestablishing neuronal calcium permeability. At present, there is concern the magnitude of this drug’s benefit may only be statistically significant, although not clinically significant. Despite skepticism, Adulhelm has proven to significantly decrease amyloid in all cortical brain regions examined. With such high stakes and potential, further research into Adulhelm’s clinical efficacy is warranted in the treatment of AD.

Saúde mental são duas palavrinhas muito prezadas e utilizadas hoje em dia. No entanto, não foi sempre assim: esse campo tem uma longa história de estigmatização baseada em uma visão da loucura que fez com que aqueles que padeciam de transtornos mentais fossem excluídos e silenciados. Em razão disso, ao longo do século 20, em especial após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, pôde-se observar em vários países iniciativas que visavam garantir a inclusão social e os direitos dos pacientes portadores de transtornos mentais, movimentos estes chamados de reforma psiquiátrica.

COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland and Northern Ireland: a comparison of the legal framing of reasonableness
Authors: Ó Cathaoir Katharina , MacColl Christie
Published: July 2022

In 2020, Ireland and Northern Ireland implemented separate legislative strategies to tackle COVID-19, despite the island comprising a single epidemiological unit. This article evaluates and contrasts the framing of ‘reasonable excuses’ in the regulations adopted by Ireland and Northern Ireland between March and December of 2020. It submits that the rejection of an ‘all-Ireland’ approach, side by side lack of effective regulatory coordination and enforcement, likely had implications for transmission in each state. The regulations have entailed far-reaching incursions on civil liberties, often without providing the public with a clear evidence base. The complexity of the legislation as well as conflicting government guidance, contributed to a climate of public confusion, which created subsequent difficulties for enforcement, notably in the border regions. Insufficient coordination undermined measures by allowing for loopholes to be exploited. The article reflects on the human rights implications thereof, focusing on transparency and proportionality.

The study was carried out in Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia, along the East Canal Flood River. There are several community activities that produce some pollutants and total suspended solids (TSS) was one of the elements is. The river transports these pollutants to the estuary. These coastal regions provide exceptional life support for creatures. This study attempts to determine the concentration value of suspended solids, its suitability to the pollution threshold value, and the distribution pattern of the sediment suspension based on hydrodynamic parameters, using the Delft3D program. This study estimated the distribution of sediment suspensions by not only describing conditions at a single point in time, but also representing seasonal conditions periodically. The concentration ranges between 0.04 kg/m3 and 0.06 kg/m3, making it good for aquaculture, marine tourism, and conservation. At high tide, the dispersion of suspended sediment leads to the land; at low tide, it leads to the sea. This study can be utilized as a supplement to prior research, which mainly consisted simply of sediment suspension distribution maps.
Voluntary Requests, or Vulnerable Adults? A Critique of Criminal Sentencing in Assisted Suicide and ‘Mercy Killing’ Cases
Authors: Del Villar Katrine , Willmott Lindy , White Ben P
Published: July 2022

‘Mercy Killing’ Cases Author Katrine Del Villar, Lindy Willmott and Ben P White This article examines the sentencing remarks in all publicly reported Australian cases on assisted suicide and mercy killing since 1980. Themes emerging from judicial reasons for sentencing confirm that many traditional aims of sentencing – such as specific deterrence, retribution or rehabilitation – are inapposite in cases where relatives or friends act outside the law to end the suffering of a loved one. Pronounced leniency in sentencing, observed across the spectrum of cases, demonstrates a gap between the law on the books and the sentences imposed in practice. We identify inconsistent outcomes, both in charges laid and sentences imposed, which have the potential to undermine public confidence in the rule of law. We conclude that criminal law simultaneously provides both too much protection and insufficient protection for members of the community. We recommend law reform to enable judges to better distinguish between voluntary and non-voluntary assisted suicides and mercy killings.

Authors: Kazim Maitham Mohammed , Kadhum Safaa A
Published: July 2022

The agricultural lands in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate are among the most economical sources in which various agricultural crops are grown, such as rice, wheat, and others. Samples were taken from seven agricultural areas in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, and the heavy elements, including lead, zinc, cadmium, nickel, copper and chromium, were examined by atomic spectrometry. In order to know the extent of the danger of these elements in the soil and their impact on human health, pollution indices and SBET were used for this purpose. The results showed the highest value of relative bioaccessibility of lead (76.14%) in Ghamas, while the lowest value was (32.5%) in Afak. The largest value of the relative bioaccessibility of cadmium was found in Afak (82.22%), and the lowest value (30.24%) in the city of Shamiya. The pollution load indices revealed agricultural soils of Al-Qadisiyah Governorate ranged from light pollution to high pollution so that the lowest pollution values were for Zn to all agricultural soils, and the highest pollution values were for cadmium, especially in three sites (Afak, Albdair and Ghamas).

Authors: Kadhum Marwa Shaban , Ahmed Intisar Hussein
Published: July 2022

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the major non-communicable diseases worldwide. Interleukin-17 (IL-17, also known as IL-17A) is a key cytokine that links T cell activation to neutrophil mobilization and activation. In the cytokine storm, up-regulation of T-helper 17 cell cytokine IL-17A, and maybe also IL-17F, is primarily responsible for the immunopathology. This study aims to assess the Interleukin-17 A levels among the susceptibility of T2DM Iraqi diabetic patients as well as to determine the Interleukin-17 A levels among those patients and controls. A total of 70 participants 50 confirmed type 2diabetic patients and 20 apparently healthy individuals as controls were selected using a convenient sampling method. Evaluation of serum levels of IL-17A were performed using by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique (ELISA) using a Human- IL-17A kit. (Elabscience Company /china). The results of the current study indicated that the levels of this interleukin were higher in the sera of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls, although there were no significant differences, in patients (243.7233±38.45944),  vs. controls (148.8930±11.79280),  P= 0.135. We conclude that there may be a correlation between high levels of IL-17A and T2DM.

Anal gland infections most commonly lead to perianal fistulas. With advances in techniques, MR imaging has proven to play an important role in perianal fistula evaluation and is currently considered to be the gold standard. This was a hospital based prospective observational study in which around 100 patients who were diagnosed to have perianal fistula clinically and referred for MR fistulogram to the Department of Radio diagnosis & Imaging, Government Medical College, Srinagar, J&K, India and were included in the study. In this study we concluded that about 26% patients (26 out of 100) had secondary tracks and 31% (31 out of 100) had associated abscesses which showed 86% concordance with surgical findings.

Design and implementation of transfer learned deep CNN with feature fusion for automated mammogram classification
Authors: Sridevi V. , Samath J. Abdul
Published: July 2022

Radiologists frequently struggle to define mammography mass lesions, resulting in unneeded breast biopsies to eliminate suspicions, which adds exorbitant costs to an already overburdened patient and medical system..Existing models have limited capability for feature extraction and representation, as well as cancer classification. Therefore, we built deep Convolution neural networks based Computer-aided Diagnosis system to assist radiologists in classifying mammography mass lesions. Here, Two-view LASSO regression feature fusion and fine-tuned transfer learning network model VGG16 were applied for identification of mammogram cancer.  First, two independent CNN branches are utilized to extract mammography characteristics from two different perspectives. Feature Extraction is performed by fine-tuning pre-trained deep network models VGG16 which extracts deep convolutional features. Second, the features of the VGG16 models are serially fused using LASSO regression. Lastly, the fused features are entered into the Fully Connected Layer for mammogram classification. The high accuracy of 95.24, senstitivity of 96.11% and AUC score of 97.95% of the proposed approach revealed that it should be used to enhance clinical decision-making.
