Authors: Rahmatullah Rahmatullah
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses the magic aspects of surah al-Ikhlas in the book Khazīnat al-Asrār. This qualitative research answers what aspects of surah al-Ikhlas contained in this book. Through the analysis of Surah Al-Ikhlāṣ in the book, there are at least a few important points. First, the book affirms that the practice of magic in Islam is not a tradition that comes from outside, but it comes from the internal traditions of Muslims in which they are the arguments of authentic hadiths. Secondly, the Quran is believed to be the word of God provides magic values for its readers. It encourages reading certain letters, use as away to resould problems. encountered can be resolved. Thus, the mechanism of action is the same as magic, only it is packaged using Quranic verses.

Authors: Abidin Ahmad Zainal , Aziz Thoriqul , Chayati Dewi Charisun
Published: March 2022

This article discusses the comparison of  Islamic perspective and other religious perspectives regarding  some theological and sharia issues, taking Quraish Shihab’s thought as a case in point. Using a descriptive-analytic method, this study answers how his thoughts about some issues of theology and shari’a are similar with or different from other religious perspectives. This article finds that the theological and sharia themes that are carried by M. Quraish Shihab are related to texts such as in other religions, especially through the theme of unifying God, respecting for others, establishing prayer, prohibition of killing and doing heinous, qishāsh law, fasting, spirituality, and alms. Intertextual thinking is useful for bringing together interfaith themes that emphasize the unity of sources and the close relation of religions to one another.
Respons Ulama Aceh Terhadap Al-Qur’an Al-Karim dan Terjemahan Bebas Bersajak dalam Bahasa Aceh
Authors: Umar Munawir , Rahman Yusuf
Published: March 2022

This paper analyzes the responses of the Acehnese Ulama to the Al-Qur'an Al-Karim and the Poetic Free Translation in the Aceh language written by Teungku Mahjiddin Jusuf. The methodology used is descriptive-analytical qualitative to describe the response of the Acehnese Ulama using the hermeneutic, anthropological and literary approaches. This study found a variety of responses from Acehnese ulama by concluding as follows. First, from the aspect of sound equality and rhythm, the scholars have given some notes that the translator should pay attention and look for other suitable equivalent words so that they do not affect the distortion of the meaning of the Qur'anic content. Second, in the aspect of fawātiḥ al-Suwar (hurf muqaṭṭa'ah) and the mutasyabihat verse, the scholars agreed with the translation approach used because it was in accordance with the studies of previous scholars with various existing literature.
Learning from the ambiance throughout Urban Renewal
Authors: Arizaga Ximena
Published: March 2022

Developed within the context of public space studies, the proposition applies the concept of ambiance to urban micro-space as an alternate approach to urban studies, providing a contrasting perspective to other urban disciplinary methods. Ambiance is understood here as the emerging feature of the relationship between the uses of space and the (physical and sensory) built space as it becomes meaningful when used, inhabited and built by individuals. Introducing the concept of ambiance as used by authors such as Augoyard (2010) and Thibaud (2004), allows us to avoid the problem of comparing spaces that are different in form and scale, as it focuses on the relationship between constructed/sensory space and social use. A study of three sectors of the inner district of Santiago-Chile, which where renewed in three different moments of urban public policies, is proposed to illustrate this approach. The middle-class neighborhoods and their inhabitants are studied in a praxeological perspective, thus, the proposition aims to discern how space shapes its use and in return how use and practice redefine, shape and re-appropriate space.
Diseño arquitectónico para las transiciones. El posAcuerdo de paz en Colombia
Authors: Díaz Díaz Freddy
Published: March 2022

Colombia está viviendo un proceso de transición iniciado a finales de 2016 con la firma del Acuerdo de paz, que puso fin a un conflicto armado de más de 60 años. En el marco de ese proceso se han producido proyectos de arquitectura encaminados a la reparación individual y colectiva de las víctimas, la reincorporación de los exguerrilleros y al buen vivir de comunidades locales. Este artículo presenta parámetros de diseño arquitectónico elaborados por medio de los hallazgos en campo y la revisión de prácticas de diseño relacionadas con la transición. Estos permitirán la revisión de los proyectos arquitectónicos generados en ese escenario y la base para la generación de lineamientos de diseño para los diferentes contextos. El estudio permite concluir la responsabilidad emergente de la arquitectura en el proceso transicional de construcción de la paz en Colombia y la necesidad de diseñar herramientas para su aporte efectivo a este proceso.
El Acuerdo de Paz y las vías terciarias en Colombia
Authors: Espinosa Martinez Sebastian Isidro , Rubiños Cea Simón Ignacio
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo plantea una reflexión sobre los desafíos territoriales del Acuerdo de Paz entre las FARC-EP y el Estado colombiano, desde el problema de la conexión vial – específicamente las vías terciarias – de territorios en conflicto. Se observa que la red vial del país privilegia la aceleración de flujos y la disposición de regiones geográficas para la globalización por sobre la articulación social y territorial. Sin embargo, el Acuerdo sigue siendo una de las oportunidades para articular comunidades antes en guerra en lugar de ahondar la marginación territorial y su acople al mercado y la guerra. Para ello, primero, se establece una discusión teórica desde una perspectiva socio-espacial, construyendo una aproximación crítica hacia el desarrollo de determinadas infraestructuras y la perspectiva colonial con que se desarrolla la red vial del país. Segundo, se reflexiona sobre el estado e institucionalidad de la red terciaria, visibilizando el progresivo abandono estatal. Tercero, se abordan los contenidos del Acuerdo respecto a infraestructura y vías terciarias. Finalmente, se estudian los desafíos territoriales de las vías terciarias para la paz
Hábitats rurales dignos e integrados al territorio colombiano. Reflexiones sobre los factores que favorecen su generación
Authors: Acevedo Agudelo Harlem , Hurtado Sarmiento Yasmin
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo tiene como propósito hacer una reflexión que contribuya a la creación de estrategias que favorezcan la generación de hábitats dignos en las áreas rurales de Colombia afectadas por el conflicto armado. Se plantea un conjunto de factores articulados en ejes directores para la integración del emplazamiento y el territorio, la materialidad y el diseño, y el eje social y económico, con la finalidad de orientar el diseño y el desarrollo de los programas y proyectos de vivienda rural mediante la inclusión de elementos que permitan la generación de hábitats sostenibles. Bajo esta perspectiva, se analizó un estudio de caso del proyecto de vivienda social rural entregado al resguardo indígena La Palma, en Apartadó (Antioquia), por parte de la empresa estatal Vivienda de Antioquia (VIVA). Se concluye que es de vital importancia que las viviendas rurales sean construidas a partir de un enfoque holístico capaz de integrar factores técnicos, sociales, culturales y ambientales, para garantizar que estas sean espacios dignos, que ofrezcan las condiciones mínimas de habitabilidad y estén integradas a sus respectivos territorios.

Multiple-Text Manuscripts from the Gondarine Age: MSS London, BL Orient. 818 and Paris, BnF Éth. 146
Authors: Villa Massimo
Published: March 2022

It would be ungenerous to claim that the Ethiopian manuscript heritage preserved in major Western libraries, although having been identified and catalogued for decades, has no more surprises in store. Mss BL Or. 818 and BnF Éthiopien 146 are two skilfully executed multiple-text manuscripts which share the same combination of texts, although arranged in a different order. Independent philological surveys have recurrently evidenced a close genetic affinity between the two pieces. Nevertheless, an overall assessment of their history has never been made. A scrutiny of the textual and historical data reveals that the two manuscripts were produced and intended as gifts for the churches of Dabra Ḍaḥāy Qʷǝsqʷām in Gondar and Nārgā Śǝllāse, both established and patronized in the mid-eighteenth century by ʾƎtege Mǝntǝwwāb, mother of ʾAṣe ʾIyāsu II. The present study aims to demonstrate that the two manuscripts are not only outstanding examples of Gondarine bookmaking culture, but also witnesses to a deliberate initiative of production and dissemination of parchment artefacts in favour of ecclesiastical foundations in the area of Lake Ṭānā. Furthermore, independent pieces of evidence from several texts contained in the two codices suggest that MS BnF Éthiopien 146 was most likely copied from MS BL Or. 818.

Une ṭablītō syriaque orthodoxe en Érythrée datée de 1295/1296 : un témoin des « métropolites syriens » ?
Authors: Bausi Alessandro , Desreumaux Alain
Published: March 2022

A wooden altar tablet (ṭablītō) inscribed in Syriac, consecrated by an ‘Athanasius bishop of Ethiopia’ in 1295/1296 CE was recently documented from a church in the nearby of Asmara, in Eritrea. The note provides edition, translation, and commentary of the text, as well as a first assessment of its meaning in connection with the debated issue of the presence of Syrian prelates in Ethiopia and Eritrea at the end of the thirteenth century. The wooden tablet is the only ancient or medieval written object in Syriac script or language that has so far been found in Ethiopia or Eritrea.

Measles occurs at any age. Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during periods of low vaccination coverage. In Ukraine in 2016, the level of vaccinations with the first dose was only in 45% of children, and the second — in 31%. Thus, during 2017 only in the Odessa region the number of measles patients reached 1 016. The purpose was to identify the features of the clinical course of measles in young children and infants. Materials and methods. A retrospective study of the medical histories of 111 young children, 68 of them in the first year of life. Results. Measles in children 3 years old retains the typical features of acute onset, manifestations of intoxication (71.82%), fever (99.09%), cough (94.55%), catarrhal phenomena and rash. At the same time, rhinitis (95.59%) and puffiness of the face (100%) are characteristic of children under one year compared with children 1–3 years (51.16% and 58.14%, respectively) p<0.001. Measles severity depends on the age of the child (in children (35.29%) younger than 12 months there was a severe course, and in (55.62%) children younger than 6 months). Complications were found in (44.14%) children. Among them, pneumonia (32.35%) is more common in children under 1 year of age, bronchitis (18.6%) and pneumonia (16.28%) in children aged 1–3 years are approximately the same in frequency. Otitis media (7.35%) was found only in children under 12 months. Conclusions. Thus, the clinical manifestations, severity and complications of measles depend on the age of the child, and the presence of children less than 6 months (28.81%) indicates the existence of a non3immune layer among women of childbearing age. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: measles, complications, young children, infants.

A AUTOAVALIAÇÃO INSTITUCIONAL PARTICIPATIVA DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL E A CORRESPONSABILIDADE DOS EDUCADORES
Authors: Festa Meire , Pinazza Mônica Apezzatto
Published: March 2022

Este artigo refere-se a alguns dos dados de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, que teve como tema a implementação de Autoavaliação Institucional Participativa (AIP), como política pública de avaliação da educação infantil da Rede Municipal de Ensino da cidade de São Paulo, entre 2013 e 2016. O estudo de caso envolveu profissionais de 1869 unidades educacionais e buscou analisar o processo da AIP sob a ótica dos participantes (FESTA, 2019). Nesta oportunidade, pretende-se focalizar os depoimentos dos educadores a questionário e a entrevista semiestruturada, retratando como eles, à época, concebiam a questão da corresponsabilidade na qualificação das ações cotidianas de suas respectivas instituições, visto que a perspectiva de transformação se constitui parte fundante da AIP (SORDI, 2010; SORDI; SOUZA,2012; FREITAS, 2016; MORO,2017). A pesquisa demonstrou a resistência dos profissionais, de várias instituições e de diferentes instâncias administrativas, em assumir a posição de responsabilização pessoal pela qualificação do atendimento às crianças e às famílias (CAMPOS; RIBEIRO, 2016, 2017). Trouxe, ainda, elementos que indicaram a dificuldade dos educadores em realizar uma análise verdadeiramente crítica de suas práticas pedagógicas (OLIVEIRA-FORMOSINHO, KISHIMOTO 2002; FREIRE, 1996), delegando a outros atores ou atribuindo a fatores externos a possibilidade de realizar as transformações concretas julgadas necessárias. Em conclusão, os dados produzidos indicaram a necessidade de, a partir da AIP, estabelecer metas comuns pertinentes, cuja execução seja de responsabilidade individual, mas também coletivamente assumidas, e que estejam intencionalmente articuladas ao Projeto Político-Pedagógico de cada instituição (FREITAS, 2005,2016).
AVALIAÇÃO DE CONTEXTO: ANÁLISE COLEGIADA DE INSTRUMENTOS AVALIATIVOS
Authors: Branco Jordanna , Moro Catarina , Corsino Patrícia
Published: March 2022

A avaliação de contexto se baseia numa metodologia participativa que articula dois eixos: i) “a negociação da qualidade” e ii) “a promoção a partir do interno”, que aliam auto avaliação com avaliação externa, num processo dialógico de confronto de pontos de vista. O objetivo desta avaliação é de sistematizar hipóteses e projetos de melhoria educativa a partir dos itens avaliados. Trata-se de uma avaliação reflexiva, na qual as reivindicações, preocupações e questões dos grupos de interesse são a base para determinar as problematizações e mudanças necessárias. É um processo avaliativo participativo e formativo organizado em etapas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar uma das etapas da avaliação de contexto, na sua fase inicial, em duas experiências avaliativas de contexto: uma realizada no Rio de Janeiro-RJ e outra em Pinhais-PR. Esta etapa consiste na realização da análise crítica do instrumento de avaliação realizada pelos professores em conjunto com o avaliador externo. Todo processo foi registrado em áudio, transcrito e analisado, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Bondioli e Savio (2015), Moro e Coutinho (2018), Corsino e Branco (2019), dentre outros. Observou-se que nos dois contextos avaliados, ao longo do processo avaliativo, os resultados evidenciaram a importância da analise dos instrumentos para o processo formativo, em virtude da tomada de consciência dos professores acerca dos aspectos a serem avaliados, bem como para a construção de entendimentos comuns nas equipes, num processo participativo, dialógico e democrático.
Ibn al-Khaṭīb: Character Assassin
Authors: Abdelkarim Sherif
Published: March 2022

Among the poetic modes to persist since Islam's advent,hijāʾ, or classical Arabic invective poetry, pushes the limits of permissible art while preserving aspects of court culture not found elsewhere in the premodern corpus. The harshest pieces ofhijāʾhave jeopardized its very status as a proper art form, its popular appeal notwithstanding. This essay sketches the ethical and aesthetic contours ofhijāʾin postclassical Arabic literature (ca. 1000–1400), including the motivations that occasioned it. It offers as a case study thehijāʾof the foremost Andalusian minister, Lisān al-Dīn ibn al-Khat.īb (d. 1375). The poet-politician's terms of abuse shed light on Granada's political strains, and they jar with a tradition that proscribes calumny altogether and calls adherents to unite in virtue and piety, not sin and slander. In practice, Ibn al-Khat.īb's sharp tongue invited physical retaliation, which forced the man to scope the lands, in search of escape.
Resentment: Shakespeare and Nietzsche on Anger without Privilege
Authors: Robinson Benedict S.
Published: March 2022

This essay traces the literary and cultural history of resentment from the word's first arrival in English. It argues that resentment harbors the seeds of a new paradigm of anger, tied to a new sense of anger's social content: where ancient accounts of anger center on the anger of the powerful, this form of anger—embodied most famously in Nietzsche's theory ofRessentiment—addresses the anger of disempowered social agents. The argument unfolds in three stages: first, I use digital tools and a large-scale archive to analyze what early modern writers wrote about when they wrote about resentment; second, I pursue the word into the history of science and new ways of thinking about the nature of anger; and third, I read literary history and the Shakespearean plot of tragic intrigue in particular as an extended imaginative investigation of this changing set of concerns in the sociality of anger.
Structure evaluation of a tropical residual soil under wide range of compaction conditions
Authors: Lopes Bruna de Carvalho Faria Lima , Kühn Vinícius de Oliveira , Queiroz Ângela Custódia Guimarães , Caicedo Bernardo , Neto Manoel Porfírio Cordão
Published: March 2022

Soil compaction is one of the most common techniques used to engineer the soil. It is especially appealing to developing countries for its cost-effective and sustainable attributes for improving the soil's geotechnical characteristics. The compaction process along with the complexity of residual soils, abundant in the tropics zone, can have an impact on the performance of geotechnical structures built with these soils. Therefore, it is important to understand the influence that certain compaction conditions have on the structure of these materials. To investigate that, mercury intrusion porosimetry tests were performed on compacted samples of a tropical residual soil from Brazil under different conditions of water content and compactive effort. Results show that the compacted soil under all studied conditions presents a bimodal pore-size distribution (PSD). It appears that the low availability of water within the macro-pores, hence suction, could have played a decisive role in maintaining the bimodal framework of the PSD. In this respect, this study contributes to a better understanding of the tropical residual soils’ structure when subjected to different compaction conditions, thus providing means to improve field applications.
Study of green surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy determination of methanol in alcoholic beverages
Authors: Tian Yaping , Nie Xinming , Wang Xun , Chen Zhengyi , Chen Si , Lv Shasha , Tang Shoufeng
Published: March 2022

There are two main challenges in completing surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection. One is the small Raman scattering cross-section of methanol, and the other is the derivatization strategy. They were solved by coupling the catalytic strategy with a thermal purge separation and enrichment device. In this study, quantitative analysis of methanol in alcoholic beverages was performed as methanol was catalyzed to formaldehyde. For detecting methanol in low-alcohol beverages, the acetaldehyde derivatives generated by the interaction of ethanol-catalyzed oxide acetaldehyde with 3-methyl 2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride hydrate (MBTH) during the catalytic process will not cause large interference with the SERS signal of formaldehyde. In this case, MBTH with higher sensitivity is selected for the derivatization operation. In the analysis of methanol in high-alcohol beverages, acetylacetonate derivatization without interaction with acetaldehyde was used to avoid the interference of the acetaldehyde generated from ethanol. Based on the detection of formaldehyde in methanol standard solutions, methanol was detected in wine and sake as well as in high-alcohol beverages. Thus, a convenient and rapid method was achieved for the detection of methanol in alcoholic beverages.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics and risk factors associated with severe disease in COVID-19.

Materials and Methods: A total of 186 adult patients (97 female) hospitalized with a diagnosis of COVID-19 (laboratory-confirmed cases, SARS-CoV-2-RNA detected with the molecular method) between March 2020-May 2020 were included in the study. The possible risk factors evaluated were age, gender, comorbidities, smoking, symptoms, and laboratory parameters at the time of admission to the hospital.

Results: The patients comprised 97 (52.2%) females, evaluated as severe COVID-19 in 43 (23.1%) cases and non-severe COVID-19 in 143 (76.9%) cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified risk factors for severe COVID-19 to be age >65 years (odds ratio (OR)=5.289, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.680-16.651, p:0.004), and elevated levels of LDH (OR=8.521, 95% CI:2.445-29.702, p:0.001), ferritin (OR=7.436, 95% CI:2.171-25.468, p:0.001), D-dimer (OR=10.076, 95% CI: 2.758-36.813, p65 years, and elevated LDH, ferritin, D-dimer, CK-MB, and troponin levels are independent risk factors. Clinicians should consider these potential risk factors for progression to severe disease when treating COVID-19 patients.

Authors: SAĞALTICI Eser , URAL Cenk , BELLİ Hasan , AKBUDAK Mahir , ŞAHİN Şengül
Published: March 2022

Aim: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder among bariatric surgery candidates. BED may pose a risk to postsurgical outcomes. This study aims to determine the predictors of BED and the impact on the psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life for patients with severe obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. Material and Methods: A total of 207 patients with severe obesity who underwent bariatric surgery were included. Face-to-face psychiatric interviews were performed to diagnose BED according to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. A sociodemographic and clinical form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), body image scale (BIS), and short form-36 health survey were administered to the participants. Results: The rate of BED was determined as 30.9%. BED was associated with gender (female), lifetime suicidal ideation, previous suicide attempts, age of onset of obesity and the age of onset of dieting. Patients with BED presented with poor scores in BDI, BAI, BIS, and most domains of quality of life. Conclusion: Decreased BIS score, younger ages of onset for dieting, and previous suicide attempts predicted BED. The recognition of factors involved in the development of BED in patients with severe obesity will improve the effectiveness of treatment options for these patients

Published: March 2022

Aim: This study aims to determine the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students studying at a public university toward childhood vaccines and to investigate whether the attitudes of students change according to sociodemographic characteristics, vaccination history, and perceived level of knowledge.
Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 83 students studying in the Department of Nursing at a public university in Konya between May 2020 and September 2021. The data were collected using the Information Form and the Public Attitude toward Vaccination-Health Belief Model Scale. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis non-parametric tests.
Results: When the childhood vaccination attitude scores of the students were examined according to their sociodemographic characteristics, it was seen that there was a statistically significant difference between gender and the perceived barrier attitude score; between the economic status of the family and the perceived severity and perceived barrier attitude scores; the location of the high school graduated and the perceived severity, perceived importance, perceived benefit and perceived health responsibility attitude scores. When the distribution of students' childhood vaccination attitude scores across their childhood vaccination history and perceived level of knowledge about vaccines was examined, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference between having sufficient knowledge about childhood vaccines and the perceived barrier attitude score.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that gender, economic status, the location of the high school graduates, and the perceived level of knowledge about childhood vaccines affect vaccination attitudes.

Published: March 2022

Aim: This study aimed to determine the level of perception of insulin and diabetes symptom management of patients with Type 2 diabetes who received inpatient treatment in intensive care.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Internal Medicine and Anesthesia Intensive Care units of a state hospital during the period of December 01, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The sample of the study was composed of 100 voluntary patients who used insulin. Research data were collected via the Patient Introduction Form, Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire and the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale. Written permission was obtained from ethics committee and patients.

Results: The average age of the patients was 44.57 ± 14.8, 52% were female, 72% were single, 47% were primary school graduates, and 52% had a chronic complication related to diabetes. The mean time duration for being diagnosed with diabetes was 20.59 ± 12.87 years (3-52) while the mean duration of insulin use was 2.8 ± 1.17 years. Patients’ ITAS positive and negative item subscale mean scores were 11.44 ± 3.43 and 48.18 ± 12.09, respectively. Patients’ mean Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire total score was 4.07 ± 1.74 (range: 0.62-8.75).

Conclusion: Patients have a high negative perception towards insulin use and their diabetes self-management is below the average. There was a high level of negative correlation between patients’ negative insulin perception and glucose management and diet control sub-dimensions of their diabetes self-management.

Aims: With this study; it was aimed to determine the use of various medications or nutritional supplements to support immune system and opinions, usage status and attitudes towards the drugs currently used / recommended for the treatment of COVID-19, and the factors affecting drug use during the COVID-19 pandemic according to the condition of having COVID-19.

Methods: The descriptive research was conducted in Family Medicine outpatient clinics. Data were collected with a questionnaire prepared by the researchers through the internet (sites on social media) due to the pandemic. The e-questionnaire form was shared on the internet a total of 10 times at 6-day intervals.

Results: 1484 people participated, 60.8% were female, 51.5% was a healthcare professional. While 23.3% had a known disease; 19.3% of them had COVID-19 infection, 79% of them received outpatient medication. Although not recommended, it was observed that the most used drugs were Vitamin C and antipyretic drugs, followed by vitamin D and antibiotics. 87.5% who have had COVID-19 infection stated that they used the drugs as suggested/written on to them. The reasons of those who did not use drugs: fear of its side effects, not seeing it necessary, using herbal products and observing and using it if necessary. People who had live a person under the age of 18 living in the same household (p=0.042), who had a chronical disease (p=0.014) and who were regularly drug users (p=0.003) were reported that they used drugs as suggested / written on them.

Conclusion: Infodemic causes the spread of false information about the disease and its treat-ment both among the public and in scientific circles. The results of our study also support this situation. The healthcare system should be structured in accordance with the pandemic condi-tions in order to explain the importance of the use of medicines.

AİM: Full vertebral scanning and counting from C2 inferiorly is the gold standard for the lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) diagnosis. We aimed to investigate the use of a posteroanterior chest radiograph (CRXPA) and direct urinary system graph (DUSG) combination, which would provide lower dose radiation exposure in LSTV diagnosis.

MATERIALS & METHOD: CRX PA and DUSG of 327 patients were examined by 2 radiologists. Both of the x-ray graphs have been interpreted by the radiologist to detect existing LSTV. Scoliosis graphs were conducted of all 327 patients to detect LSTV

RESULTS: The performance accuracy of DUSG for the diagnosis of LSTV, we have observed that it provided true positive results in 117 of the 120 subjects and false-negative in 3 subjects. It could detect 163 of the 207 subjects as true negative and the remaining 44 individuals as false positive. When we have evaluated the diagnostic performance of DUSG and CRX PA together we have observed that it provided true positive results in 119 of the 120 subjects and false-negative in 1 subject. It could detect 167 of the 207 subjects as true negative and the remaining 40 individuals as false positive.

CONCLUSION: The accurate diagnosis of LSTV is highly important as any misleading information can lead to inappropriate surgery or invasive procedure. The sensitivity of interpretation of CRX PA and DUSG together has been found as 97.6% and the specificity as 80.6%.

Authors: Cabeza-Monroy Gina , Perea-Fernandez Ivan
Published: March 2022

RESUMEN:  Para realizar una valoración pericial integral forense de la tortura es indispensable considerar los daños e impactos generados por la tortura en los contextos relacionales o vinculares de la víctima; no se puede separar la tortura y sus consecuencias psicológicas de los aspectos psicosociales del individuo. Una propuesta sistematica para evaluar los efectos psicológicos de la tortura en el contexto forense consiste en clasificarlos en cuadros reactivos inmediatos, respuestas psicológicas comunes, cuadros psicopatológicos o trastornos psiquiátricos propiamente dichos, impacto sobre el proyecto de vida, la presencia o no de discapacidad psicosocial y por otro lado, las consecuencias psicosociales dividas en consecuencias sobre los microgrupos y sobre los macrogrupos. Conclusiones: El Protocolo de Estambul, así como en numerosos artículos especializados, destacan la importancia de evaluar el contexto en el que sucede la tortura. La evaluación forense de las consecuencias psicologicas de la tortura solo puede considerarse integral cuando se valora al individuo y sus relaciones vinculares en su contexto.

Published: March 2022

Objetivo: Describir y analizar, desde un punto de vista antropológico forense, los resultados conocidos de las investigaciones sobre la desaparición de los estudiantes normalistas de Ayotzinapa, México, en particular los obtenidos por el Gobierno federal a través de la PGR, el EAAF y el GIEI, así mismo contrastar las hipótesis de investigadores forenses y académicos elaboradas en torno a la posibilidad de que los normalistas hayan sido cremados en un sólo evento de fuego

Metodología: En el presente trabajo nos proponemos revisar, a través de una investigación documental argumentativa, los resultados conocidos de las investigaciones sobre la desaparición de 43 estudiantes normalistas, además de contrastar las opiniones que al respecto formularon  diversos especialistas.

 

Resultados: Las investigaciones realizadas por el EAAF, en conjunto con la PGR, y la llevada a cabo por el GIEI, llevaron a resultados similares en cuanto al análisis de las muestras de tejido óseo recolectadas en el Basurero Cocula  y el Río San Juan, sin embargo hubo discrepancias en cuanto a la cremación de los estudiantes en el Basurero. En este escenario se difundieron opiniones encontradas de especialistas forenses, académicos e investigadores.

Conclusiones: Hasta el momento las condiciones físicas de los fragmentos encontrados relacionaos con la desaparición de los normalistas (Basurero Cocula y Río San Juan) no han permitido obtener un perfil completo, por lo que no se puede pronunciar sobre la identidad de los sujetos involucrados en ese hallazgo. Si los restos encontrados están o no relacionados con un incendio de gran intensidad es un dato importante sobre el cual no se tiene un acuerdo; en relación a ello hay un dato que no puede pasar desapercibido y es la presencia de por lo menos dos decenas de individuos cremados cuyos fragmentos fueron encontrados en el Basurero Cocula.
A Functional Discourse Grammar account of proper names in Portuguese
Authors: Serafim Monielly
Published: March 2022

A generally accepted view regarding proper names is that they have reference, but no lexical meaning (Lyons, 1977). This idea is the basis for the Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld & Mackenzie, 2008) view of proper names as primitives of the Interpersonal Level and the lexical head of Subacts of Reference. At the Representational Level, the entity is designated by an absent head, which captures the fact that proper names do not have a meaning. Although this approach accounts for the most prototypical use of proper names, it fails to explain a range of other uses. In addition to the referential use of non-modified proper names, this paper analyses other uses of proper names in Portuguese: modified proper names, metaphorical proper names, and proper names in naming constructions. The proposal presented here explains cases of restrictive modification and metaphorical uses of proper names as instances of reflexive language and coercion, respectively. As for proper names in naming constructions, they are considered to have a third, different, function, in addition to the vocative and referential use.@font-face{font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:roman;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face{font-family:Times;panose-1:0 0 5 0 0 0 0 2 0 0;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:auto;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-536870145 1342185562 0 0 415 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal{mso-style-unhide:no;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";margin:0in;mso-pagination:none;text-autospace:none;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoChpDefault{mso-style-type:export-only;mso-default-props:yes;font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoPapDefault{mso-style-type:export-only;mso-pagination:none;text-autospace:none;}div.WordSection1{page:WordSection1;}
The Quality of MT-loop DNA Segment of Smokers and Nonsmokers in Lagos, Nigeria for Possible use in Forensic Biology
Authors: Minari Joseph
Published: March 2022

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a small circular DNA responsible for transmission of traits. In forensic biology, the high sensitivity of mtDNA analysis allows forensic scientists to obtain information from evidence associated with crime scene. This study was carried out to investigate the mtDNA segment of smokers and non-smokers and to determine to what extent smoking affects the quality of the mtDNA in the sample population. Twenty five cigarette butts were obtained from a bar and twenty five samples were also obtained from saliva of non-smokers using swab stick. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was extracted from individual samples using zymo kit, spectrophotometer was used to check for the concentration and purity of the extracted mtDNA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out in a gradient thermocycler to ascertain the hypervariable region of the mtDNA using the following primer sequence. Agarose gel electrophoresis was carried out to know the amplicon size using 100 base pair of ladder. The DNA purity on saliva extract for non-smokers was found to be higher (A260/280 2.06 - 1.82) than the purity of saliva from smokers (A260/280 1.82-1.0). The concentration of DNA found on the saliva traces from non-smokers was higher (26.2 - 3.0 ng/µl) than those extracts from smokers (26.2 - 2.23ng/µl). DNA bands obtained from agarose gel electrophoresis showed amplification of the hypervariable region of mtDNA size ranges from 295-300 base pair (bp). This study showed that the hypervariable region of the mtDNA of both smokers and non-smokers have the same range of nucleotide base pair (bp).

Background: The number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are dependent on hemodialysis is increasing rapidly. As a result, more patients with ESRD need surgery. These patients have a significantly higher risk of postoperative death than those with normal kidney function. Therefore, this study analyzed the causes of postoperative mortality in ESRD patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia and the risk factors for postoperative mortality.Methods: This retrospective analysis examined the mortality of ESRD patients, 20 to 80 years old, undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. We excluded patients who underwent cardiac, cancer, or emergency surgery or organ transplantation from the analysis. The primary outcome was the cause of postoperative 30-day mortality in ESRD patients. We also assessed the mortality rate and risk factors.Results: There were 2,459 eligible ESRD patients. When patients underwent multiple surgeries during the study period, only the last surgery was considered. In total, 167 patients died during the study period, including 65 within 30 days postoperatively. The cause of death was sepsis in 22 cases (33.8%) and a major cardiac event in 16 (24.6%). Atrial fibrillation, current angina, previous myocardial infarction, asthma, lower hemoglobin and albumin levels, and a larger intraoperative colloid volume were likely to increase mortality. Conclusions: Our study suggests that immunological issues have a significant role in the death of ESRD patients after general anesthesia.
