Authors: Sohal Karpal Singh , Berege Gemma Z. , Vuhahula Edda , Merkx Mathias W. , Simon Elison N. M.
Published: November 2022

Background: The oro-facial region is made up of a complex anatomical relationship of structures which may be a source of development of malignant lesions. Majority patients who present at the oral and maxillofacial unit of MNH with a variety of malignant lesions are referred cases from upcountry district/regional hospitals and present with advanced stages of disease often with a wide range of complications. Of recent, there has been a dramatic change in the characteristics and demography of some of the common malignant lesions of the oro-facial region. Such changes mightbe attributed to predisposition or systemic changes following exposure to certain external factors.

Objective: To determine the predisposing factors and clinico-pathological presentation of malignant lesions of the oro-facial region among patients attending the Muhimbili National Hospital.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional descriptive hospital-based study carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Muhimbili National Hospital. A sample of 186 patients with malignant tumours in the oro-facail region attended at MNH during the study period.For every patient, demographic details were recorded and history, clinical examination and laboratory investigations, including biopsy were done.

Results: A total of 186 patients, 104 (56.0%) males and 82 (44.0%) females with a ratio of 1.3:1 were included in the study. The age ranged from 3 to 83 years with a mean age of 48.4 ± 19.2 SD years. Thirty-three percent of the patients were aged below 40 years. The commonest reported oral and maxillofacial malignant tumour was SCC with 96 (51.6%) patients followed by KS which had 17 (9.1%) patients and non-specific carcinoma 10 (5.4%) patients. Tobacco use was reported by 89 (47.8%) among whom 62 (69.6%) had used tobacco for more than 20 years. Ninety-six (51.6%) patients reported alcohol use among whom 49 (51.0%) reported to have used alcohol for more than 20 years. Thirty-three (17.7%) patients were HIV positive. All patients with KS were also HIV positive. MEP and PLGA were among very rare tumours occurring in the maxillofacial region that were encountered in this study.

Conclusion: There was an increased frequency of malignant tumours in the oral and maxillofacial region among young patients. Tobacco use and HIV infection seemed to have influence on the occurrence of SCC and KS respectively. Majority of patients reported late with advanced disease and over 95% of patients with SCC presented with stages III or IV tumours.

Published: November 2022

Foreign bodies may become lodged in various parts of the upper aerodigestive tract and establishing the presence of such foreign bodies is expected from health care practitioners. Foreign bodies may be classically organic or inorganic and their insertion into various parts of the aerodigestive tract may be deliberate or accidental. Majority of inhaled foreignbodies are reported in children and may even go unnoticed. There are scarce reported studies of foreign bodies in the nasopharynx. We are reporting an unusual case in which a foreign body in a child's nasopharynx went unnoticed for 9 months and was found incidentally during adenotonsillectomy.
Justification of Imaging Medical Exposures: A Review of Literature to Guide Evidence-Based Practice in Zambia
Authors: Bwanga Osward , Nyanga Ian
Published: November 2022

Background: The use of radiation in imaging has increased and resulted in major improvements in the diagnosis of diseases and injuries in medicine. Although the associated risks to patients exposed to radiation are low, the increase in demand is becoming a global concern due to unjustified imaging medical exposures.

 Objective: To review the literature on the causes of unnecessary medical exposures and strategies used to support referring medical practitioners in the justification of imaging examinations in order to guide evidence-based practice in Zambia.

 Methodology: Literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE database to find research, guidelines, expert opinions and reviews. This was supplemented by searching of radiology professional bodies and radiation protection websites. Nine publications were selected based on their relevance and included in this review.

 Results: Ten main causes of unjustified imaging medical exposures were identified: a lack of awareness about radiation doses and risks, a lack of referral guidelines, over-reliance on imaging, self-referral, defensive medicine, a lack of consultation, non-availability of non-ionising radiation modalities, requesting wrong investigations, repeating examinations which have already been performed, and failing to provide clinical information. Furthermore, three strategies to support medical practitioners were identified: education and training, referral guidelines, and clinical audits.

Conclusion: This review has highlighted the main causes of unjustified medical exposures and has brought about awareness of this subject. Even with the resource constraints, it is possible to adopt these strategies identified in this review to support medical practitioners in the justification of imaging medical exposures in Zambia.

Concepto de Presión Tributaria y Presión Financiera
Authors: Jarach Dino
Published: November 2022

Al cálculo de la presión tributaria o, más en general, de la presión financiera, se le asignan múltiples funciones: conocer en un momento dado el sacrificio que las finanzas imponen a la economía de un país; estudiar los aumentos y las dimensiones de este sacrificio a través del tiempo; confrontar los sacrificios financieros de diversas categorias económicas o de diversas regiones en el interior de un país, o los sacrificios financieros de países diferentes. Muchas tentativas de efectuar tales cálculos y confrontaciones se ha llevado a cabo, y se han hecho muchas críticas a ellas o a las tentativas de cálculo y de confrontación en general. Es necesario esclarecer el concepto de presión tributaria o financiera que sólo unos pocos escritores han profundizado.

On Multiple Deletion Codes
Authors: Landjev Ivan , Haralambiev Kristiyan
Published: November 2022

In 1965 Levenshtein introduced the deletion correcting codes and found an asymptotically optimal family of 1-deletion correcting codes. During the years there has been a little or no research on t-deletion correcting codes for larger values of t. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the maximal cardinality L2(n;t) of a binary t-deletion correcting code of length n. We construct an infinite family of binary t-deletion correcting codes. By computer search, we construct t-deletion codes for t = 2;3;4;5 with lengths n ≤ 30. Some of these codes improve on earlier results by Hirschberg-Fereira and Swart-Fereira. Finally, we prove a recursive upper bound on L2(n;t) which is asymptotically worse than the best known bounds, but gives better estimates for small values of n.

Generalized Nets Model of an E-Learning System Software Architecture
Authors: Dimov Aleksandar , Ilieva Sylvia
Published: November 2022

Component-based software engineering and software architecture are tightly connected areas in computer science. Software architecture presents the functionality of the system as decomposition into components, the properties of these components and the connectors between them. This paper illustrates a methodology for application of the theory of Generalized Nets (GNs) as a language for description of software systems architecture. According to this methodology, every component in the system, as well as every connector is represented by a single GN transition. This way the positions of the transition describe the ports of components and connectors in the system. This paper introduces a model of the component-based architecture of the e-learning system ARCADE, which is created, with respect to the proposed methodology for description with GNs. The four main subsystems are regarded as components in the GNs model. Their additional sub-modules are presented as the services provided by the components. Method calls are regarded as the connectors between these components. Further, the GNs model is compared with the existing UML diagrams, specifying the design of ARCADE.

Published: November 2022

The Weyl group W(E8) acts on the con guration space of systems of labelled eight lines on a real projective plane. With a system of eight lines with a certain condition, a diagram consisting of ten roots of the root system of type E8 is associated. We have already shown the existence of a W(E8)-equivariant map of the totality of such diagrams to the set of systems of labelled eight lines. The purpose of this paper is to report that the map is injective.

Authors: Pavlov Radoslav , Paneva-Marinova Desislava , Goynov Maxim , Pavlova-Draganova Lilia
Published: November 2022

Content creation and presentation are key activities in a multimedia digital library (MDL). The proper design and intelligent implementation of these services provide a stable base for overall MDL functionality. This paper presents the framework and the implementation of these services in the latest version of the “Virtual Encyclopaedia of Bulgarian Iconography” multimedia digital library. For the semantic description of the iconographical objects a tree-based annotation template is implemented. It provides options for autocompletion, reuse of values, bilingual entering of data, automated media watermarking, resizing and conversing. The paper describes in detail the algorithm for automated appearance of dependent values for different characteristics of an iconographical object. An algorithm for avoiding duplicate image objects is also included. The service for automated appearance of new objects in a collection after their entering is included as an important part of the content presentation. The paper also presents the overall service-based architecture of the library, covering its main service panels, repositories and their relationships. The presented vision is based on a long-term observation of the users’ preferences, cognitive goals, and needs, aiming to find an optimal functionality solution for the end users.

Computer-Assisted Proofs and Symbolic Computations
Authors: Krämer Walter
Published: November 2022

We discuss some main points of computer-assisted proofs based on reliable numerical computations. Such so-called self-validating numerical methods in combination with exact symbolic manipulations result in very powerful mathematical software tools. These tools allow proving mathematical statements (existence of a fixed point, of a solution of an ODE, of a zero of a continuous function, of a global minimum within a given range, etc.) using a digital computer. To validate the assertions of the underlying theorems fast finite precision arithmetic is used. The results are absolutely rigorous. To demonstrate the power of reliable symbolic-numeric computations we investigate in some details the verification of very long periodic orbits of chaotic dynamical systems. The verification is done directly in Maple, e.g. using the Maple Power Tool intpakX or, more efficiently, using the C++ class library C-XSC.
High-Order Control Variations and Small-Time Local Controllability
Authors: Krastanov Mikhail Ivanov
Published: November 2022

The importance of “control variations” for obtaining local approximations of the reachable set of nonlinear control systems is well known. Heuristically, if one can construct control variations in all possible directions, then the considered control system is small-time locally controllable (STLC). Two concepts of control variations of higher order are introduced for the case of smooth control systems. The relation between these variations and the small-time local controllability is studied and a new sufficient STLC condition is proved.
Infancias diversas : redes sociales de los niños y las niñas en Ámsterdam
Authors: Karsten Lia
Published: November 2022

El artículo compara las redes sociales de los niños y las niñas en tres barrios de Ámsterdam, la capital multicultural de los Países Bajos. El objetivo es ver cómo los niños y las niñas que crecen en unos determinados barrios desarrollan amistades y construyen su red social y hasta qué punto pueden encontrarse con otras criaturas de orígenes culturales diferentes. Nos centraremos en las condiciones relacionadas con la escuela y el barrio, teniendo en cuenta que las redes sociales (cruzadas) no son dadas de forma natural, sino construidas sobre unas condiciones espaciales y sociales determinadas. Se han escogido tres barrios que difieren en las condiciones sociales y físicas en las que crecen los niños y las niñas: Tuindorp Nieuwendam, Indische Buurt y Museumkwartier, y se han distinguido dos dimensiones sociales: la composición de clase y de etnia. Queda claro que la infancia cambia a través del espacio y que se dan más las amistades homogéneas entre niños y niñas que relaciones sociales que atraviesen la edad, la clase y la etnia.
Young people’s transport and mobility in sub-Saharan Africa : the gendered journey to school
Authors: Porter Gina , Hampshire Kate , Abane Albert , Tanle Augustine , Munthali Alister , Robson Elsbet , Mashiri Mac , Maponya Goodhope
Published: November 2022

This paper draws on rich ethnographic data and complementary survey research from a three-country study (Ghana, Malawi, South Africa) of young people’s mobility to explore the gendered nature of children’s journeys to school in sub-Saharan Africa. In most African countries, girls’ participation in formal education is substantially lower than boys’, especially at secondary school level. Transport and mobility issues often form an important component of this story, though the precise patterning of the transportation and mobility constraints experienced by schoolchildren, and the ways in which transport factors interact with other constraints, varies from region to region. We draw attention to the nature of gendered travel experiences in rural and urban areas, the implications of these findings for access to education, and finally suggest areas where policy intervention could be beneficial.

Foram analisadas 3 marcas diferentes de queijos tipo parmesão ralado, que foram adquiridas no comércio varejista da cidade de Feira de Santana-BA, de forma aleatória, sendo observado as informações presentes em cada pacote, como data, validade e fabricação. Foi pesado em balança analítica 25 gramas de cada marca de queijo parmesão do tipo ralado assepticamenteesquisa tem caráter qualitativo que visa a identificação da bactéria gram-negativa Escherichia coli. Para analisar a presença de amido, foi necessário realizar um teste de reação utilizando 5 gotas Lugol em uma colher de chá de queijo ralado, que, no entanto, não foi constatada a presença de amido. Conclui-se que as análises microbiológicas detectaram a presença de E. coli em uma das marcas testadas, o que evidencia um problema no controle de qualidade do produto durante todo o processamento, além do risco à saúde do consumidor.

The presented image was a 6 x 6 cm encapsulated hematoma deep to the gastrocnemius muscle with the surgeon’s finger as a reference for size (Figure 1 A/B). The surgery team had a high index of suspicion that an encapsulated hematoma was present in a coagulopathic patient who had previously underwent four-compartment fasciotomy, but despite excellent exposure from the fasciotomy incisions, the team was unable to locate the hematoma. The hematoma was revealed by the anesthesiologist using Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) with a linear probe (13-6 MHz, HFL38, Edge-II ®, SonoSite), which was sterilely draped into the surgical field. After localizing the hematoma, a suction catheter was inserted and a total of 250 mL was drained (Figure 1C).

A study was carried outto compare the proximate composition and protein quality of soya beans flour and smoked crayfish. Proximate compositions of soya beans flour and smoked crayfish were determined and diets composed for rat growth and balance experimentation. Eighteen (18) weanling male wistar rats were distributed in three groups of sixelements.Test groups received respectively soya beans-based and smoked crayfish-based diets. Eachprotein product was fed as the sole source of 10% dietary protein. The evaluated biological parameters were protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net protein ratio (NPR).Smoked crayfish had significantly (p <0.05)higher values of crude protein (77.31±0.63% DM) and ash (5.89±0.08%) while soya beans flour containedhigher values ofcrude lipid (18.03±0.11%DM), carbohydrates (37.2±0.01% DM) and crude fibre (5.50±0.15% DM).Smoked crayfish showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher PER (3.83) and NPR (3.96) values compared to soya bean (3.20) and (3.39) respectively. Smoked crayfish could be a better source of dietary protein especially in weaning diet.

En Afrique subsaharienne, le développement durable est menacé par le changement climatique par ces effets néfastes sur l'environnement, la sécurité alimentaire, la santé, etc. en effet, les producteurs du Nord-Bénin sont de plus en plus confrontés au besoin d’adapter leurs systèmes de cultures aux circonstances changeantes du climat. Cette étude analyse la décision d’adaptation des producteurs et leur perception du changement climatique. Les données sont collectées auprès de 262 producteurs de maïs échantillonnés de façon aléatoire dans trois zones agro écologiques du nord Bénin à travers une enquête socioéconomique. Le modèle Probit de Heckman est estimé pour identifier les facteurs déterminants la perception et l’adaptation des producteurs aux variabilités climatiques. Cette étude montre que les producteurs s’adaptent au changement climatique à condition qu’ils le perçoivent à travers des précipitations, de la température, du vent et de la disparition dans le paysage agroécologique. En réponse à ces changements, les stratégies adoptées sont entre autres : modification des dates de semis (91,4%) ; diversification des cultures (88%) ; autres adaptations comme les prières et rituels traditionnels (70%) ; stratégies de fertilisation dont la microdose (63,8%) ; adoption d’une nouvelle variété (43,5%) ; abandon ou diminution des spéculations (34,7%). Le modèle utilisé révèle que les producteurs s’adaptent au changement climatique à condition qu’ils le perçoivent. Le nombre d’actifs agricoles et l’association maïs-légumineuse influencent la perception du producteur tandis que le niveau d’éducation primaire, le droit de propriété sur la terre et l’appartenance du producteur à une organisation ont des incidences sur la décision d’adaptation du producteur au changement climatique. Par conséquent, les politiques gouvernementales qui visent à promouvoir des stratégies d'adaptation au changement climatique doivent tenir compte de ces facteurs pour améliorer les chances des mesures d’adoption des producteurs.
Unusual cause of obstructive shock following esophagectomy: a case report

Obstructive shock usually has an intrathoracic origin, such as pneumothorax, pericardial tamponade or pulmonary embolism. We report a case of hemo- dynamic shock in a 74-year-old patient four days after esophagectomy, just after the start of mechanical ventilation for bilateral pneumonia. The sudden onset of severe abdominal distension and the presence of air in the intra-abdominal drain suggested tension pneumoperitoneum, confirmed by radiography. No pneumothorax was associated. Urgent decompression was required to improve hemodynamics. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract was ruled out. The cause was a bronchopleural fistula opened by mechanical ventilation. Rarely, cardiorespiratory failure may occur after tension pneumoperitoneum by reducing lung volume and cardiac preload, similar to obstructive shock from the usual intrathoracic causes or acting as an abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Its recognition and abdominal decompression are key steps in the patient’s recovery. Tension pneumoperitoneum related to mechanical ventilation and airway injury without associated pneumothorax is exceptional and, to our knowledge, has never been reported as a postoperative complication of esophagectomy.
Desafios da Inclusão: Alfabetização de Alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA)

Published: November 2022

Resumo A inclusão escolar traz consigo uma ideologia de transformação cultural e estrutural da escola, onde as particularidades de cada aluno podem ser desenvolvidas num contexto que oportunize a equidade. Há cerca de trinta anos a escola vem se mobilizando, em um novo paradigma, para atender uma comunidade que apresenta a demanda de inclusão de crianças com deficiência no ensino regular. Esse novo modelo faz com que famílias, sociedade e instituições reflitam sobre todo o trabalho pedagógico da escola regular para atender as reais necessidades das diversidades que contempla o seio escolar e depara-se com inúmeros percalços para cumprir sua função com a qualidade desejada. Dentre estas, está o desafio de promover a alfabetização de crianças com autismo de forma simbólica, em um contexto que considera a aquisição das competências de leitura e escrita além do modelo orgânico. O presente trabalho pretende proporcionar uma análise e reflexão, em uma pesquisa qualitativa, acerca dos processos de alfabetização, como forma de inclusão de alunos com TEA (Transtorno do Espectro Autista) nas séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, em uma escola municipal situada na periferia de São Paulo, por meio de observação participante. Com o escopo de análise dos principais aspectos, sejam eles de ordem biológica ou social, que influenciam na construção do conhecimento do aluno com TEA acerca da alfabetização. Considerando que todas as crianças têm direito e acesso à educação gratuita assegurada pela legislação brasileira, o educando com TEA também deve usufruir deste direito, garantindo o seu desenvolvimento integral, estimulando e respeitando suas possibilidades e capacidades, para o melhor convívio em sociedade, assim como todos os outros discentes.

Di beberapa kota besar Indonesia, sudah banyak beberapa bangunan sekolah maupun universitas yang berbasis keagamaan, termasuk beberapa wilayah yang memiliki sebuah bahkan beberapa bangunan pesantren. Kabupaten Pekalongan yang memiliki total penduduk berjumlah 880.092 jiwa dengan kepadatan mencapai 1.053 jiwa per kilo meter persegi yang mayoritas penduduknya beragama islam. Hal itu terbukti dengan adanya slogan bahwa Pekalongan adalah Kota Santri. Mengingat betapa pentingya pembangunan sebuah pesantren di Pekalongan dengan berbagai keterampilan yang ada di Pekalongan, sudah seharusnya jika Pekalongan memiliki sebuah pesantren modern yang tidak hanya berbasis keagamaan, namun juga keterampilan membatik. Bangunan Pondok Pesantren Modern Berbasis Ketrampilan Membatik di Kabupaten Pekalongan merupakan sebuah bangunan fasilitas pendidikan yang dirancang untuk mewadahi kegiatan edukasi (pendidikan) yang tidak hanya berkaitan dengan ilmu sosial dan agama namun juga edukasi mengenai ketrampilan membatik. Konsep perancangan dari bangunan ini adalah menciptakan bangunan yang representatif sebagai tempat untuk belajar dan mendapat pengetahuan akan ilmu sosial dan agama serta bekal ketrampilan membatik. Pengaplikasiannya dilakukan secara zoning, denah, sirkulasi, maupun fasad. Diharapkan rancangan ini berguna dan memberikan inspirasi bagi pembaca.
