COMPARISON OF ROPIVACAINE ALONE VERSUS ROPIVACAINE WITH DEXAMETHASONE IN CAUDAL BLOCK FOR PAEDIATRIC POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA
Authors: M Abirami , B Sivashankari , Devanand Asha , Goyal Amita
Published: January 2022

Background: Caudal block is a well-known technique for post operative analgesia for infraumbilical surgeries in paediatric patients. Ropivacaine
is a long-acting local anaesthetic which is considered safe in paediatric population because of its property to produce differential neural blockade
with less motor block along with reduced cardiovascular and neurological toxicity. Dexamethasone is successfully used as an adjunct in caudal
blocks for children to reduce pain without inducing any signicant respiratory and hemodynamic effects. This study was done to compare the
analgesic efcacy of ropivacaine with ropivacaine-dexamethasone combination in caudal block in paediatric patients.
Materials And Methods: This prospective single blind randomized control study included 60 patients of ages 1 to 7 years, who were randomly
allocated into two groups, Group R (n=30) who received 0.2% Ropivacaine 1ml/kg, and Group RD (n=30) who received 0.2% ropivacaine with
dexamethasone 0.1mg/kg in caudal block. Patients were observed in the peri-operative period, and sedation scores, hemodynamic parameters,
duration of analgesia, requirement of rescue analgesics and complications were recorded.
Results: Ropivacaine-dexamethasone group was found to have longer duration of analgesia ( Group RD 720-870min ,Group R 360-480min),
lesser requirement of rescue analgesic ( Group RD 1.03±0.26, Group R 1.43±0.5), lesser incidence of tachycardia, and fewer complications.
Conclusion: Ropivacaine-dexamethasone combination was found to provide better post operative analgesia than ropivacaine alone in paediatric
patients.
Advanced Classification Technique to Detect the Changes of Regimes in Financial Markets by Hybrid CNN-based Prediction
Authors: Geetha K.
Published: January 2022

Traders' tactics shift in response to the shifting market circumstances. The statistical features of price fluctuations may be significantly altered by the collective conduct of traders. When some changes in the market eventuate, a "regime shift" takes place. According to the observed directional shifts, this proposed study attempts to define what constitutes between normal and abnormal market regimes in the financial markets. The study begins by using data from ten financial marketplaces. For each call, a time frame in which major events may have led to regime change is chosen. Using the previous returns of all the companies in the index, this study investigates the usage of a CNN with SVM deep learning hybrid to anticipate the index's movement. The experiment findings reveal that this CNN model can successfully extract more generic and useful features than conventional technical indicators and produce more resilient and lucrative financial performance than earlier machine learning techniques. Most of the inability to forecast is due to randomness, and a small amount is due to non-stationarity. There is also a statistical correlation between the legal regimes of various marketplaces. Using this data, it is conceivable to tell the difference between normal regimes and lawful regimes. The results show that the stock market efficiency has never been tested before with such a large data set, and this is a significant step forward for weak-form market efficiency testing.

Evaluating impacts from natural weather-related disasters on farmers mental health worldwide
Authors: Palmer Karissa , Strong Robert
Published: January 2022

This study sought to assess the mental health impacts on farmers from across the globe post-natural weather-related disasters. There were two objectives that guided the study: (a) determine themes among the literature discussing post-disaster impacts on farmers’ mental health, (b) identify personal characteristics that influence farmers’ mental health post-disaster. A systematic review revealed 29 (N = 29) publications relevant to the research objectives. Through conducting an extensive systematic review six themes were identified: suicide, preparedness, culture, adaption, sentiment, and financial hardship. There were two personal characteristics presented in the literature: gender and age. It was indicated that farmers' perceptions of climate change affected their response to lessen emotional and physical impacts. The severity of the natural disaster played a role in the action farmers took to restore and prepare damages not only for the land but also regarding their mental health. Implications of this study uncovered an opportunity for extension personnel to create educational resources to combat mental health impacts from natural disasters. Recommendations include further research be conducted to investigate the effect of new or existing mental health resources on a sample of farmers from across the globe.

Protection of social human rights through the prism of the formation of the practice of the Supreme Court
Authors: Smokovych Mykhaylo
Published: January 2022

The article deals with judicial protection of social human rights. The author examines the reasons, subject and dynamics of petitions to the Supreme Court to protect social human rights, analyzes the legal position of the Supreme Court in the judicial system of Ukraine on the formation of judicial practice in resolving social disputes.

The existence of a number of legislative conflicts in the legal regulation of social benefits has been stated, so it is difficult to resolve social disputes.

National legislation in the field of social security is multifaceted and even contradictory, such legislation is «oversaturated» with various incomprehensible additions and not always appropriate changes. Often the result of such legislative changes is a decrease in social standards, the abolition of certain benefits, loss of succession in the mechanism of recalculation of social benefits and other things that put a person in a dead end and force him to seek the truth in court.

The Supreme Court, defending its legal positions in social disputes, conceptually assumes that the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine are norms of direct action, laws and other normative legal acts must correspond not only to the «letter» but also to the «spirit» of the Constitution of Ukraine to her both in content and in essence.

It is argued that the mechanism of judicial control over the use of power by the state is an integral part of the principle of the rule of law, which is the ascending fundamental basis for the functioning and development of the rule of law, social state.

Keywords: social dispute, legal position, social assistance, one-time financial assistance.

PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF WEB 2.0 TEXT FUNCTIONING
Authors: Кормилина Наталия Владимировна , Шугаева Наталья Юрьевна
Published: January 2022

Настоящая статья посвящена исследованию особенностей восприятия и понимания текста веб 2.0 с позиций психолингвистики. В работе рассмотрена история формирования электронных текстов, представлены различные виды текстов веб. Исследование проводилось на материале трех текстов: одного традиционного письменного и двух текстов веб 2.0 с применением методики восстановления деформированного текста и подбора ключевых слов. Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем фактом, что сфера распространения электронных текстов увеличивается с каждым днем. Все возрастающая роль общения в Интернете приводит к тому, что можно говорить о формировании особой коммуникативной среды, в которой значимость приобретает новый вид текста. В настоящее время существует мало исследований, направленных на изучение особенностей восприятия и понимания электронных текстов, хотя именно эти тексты определяют коммуникацию и развитие мыслительных процессов у современных поколений.В статье анализируются результаты информантного анализа текстов веб 2.0: текстов из Википедии и блога - в сопоставлении с таковым же письменного текста. Анализ результатов показал, что не существует кардинальных отличий в восприятии текстов веб 2.0. Более важную роль в успешности понимания играют структура самого текста, знание особенностей его построения, читательский опыт, наличие интралингвистических опор.

This article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of web 2.0 text perception and understanding from the standpoint of psycholinguistics. The paper considers the history of the formation of electronic texts, presents various types of web texts. The study was conducted on the material of three texts: a traditional written one and two web 2.0 texts to which we applied the technique of reconstructing a malformed text and selecting keywords. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the scope of distribution of electronic texts is increasing every day. The increasing role of communication on the Internet leads to the fact that we can state the formation of a special communicative environment in which a new type of text becomes important. Currently, there are few studies aimed at studying the peculiarities of electronic texts perception and understanding, although these texts determine communication and the development of thought processes in modern generations.The article analyzes the results of the informative analysis of the web 2.0 texts: texts from Wikipedia and a blog in comparison with the informative analysis of the written text. The analysis of the results showed that there are no cardinal differences in the perception of web 2.0 texts. A more important role in the success of understanding is due to the structure of the text itself, knowledge of the features of its construction, reader experience, intralinguistic reliance.
Introduction
Authors: O'Donnell Nathan
Published: January 2022

This introduction situates Lewis’s art criticism within historical, biographical, and critical contexts. In most accounts of the history of art criticism in mid-century England, Lewis barely figures. Prevailing narratives favour the work of Roger Fry, Herbert Read, and Kenneth Clarke. Yet, in retrospect, from the vantage point of twenty-first century modernist studies, Lewis’s interrogatory style, his attention to pragmatic and economic conditions surrounding the reception of the work of art, and his occasional critical assaults upon the emerging ‘modernist’ canon, justify a far more central position for Lewis in our understanding of the history of art criticism. This short introduction places Lewis’s work in relation to twenty-first century modernist studies, with its focus on the contexts, networks, and patronage structures which underpinned and generated the work canonised as modernist – a canonising project in which Lewis participated but which he also analysed and scrutinised, positioning himself, in the process, as one of the chief internal critics of the fields of visual and literary modernism.
‘Public Money is Private Money’: Paying for the Arts in the 1930s
Authors: O'Donnell Nathan
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers developments in Lewis’s criticism of the 1930s, in particular his writing on patronage and the economic status of the artist, during an era of reduced opportunities for artists in England. In a sequence of essays published in 1934-5, written in response to a series of exhibitions of ‘modern’ interior and furniture design, and in the editorial materials for the 1938 edition of his collected writings on art, Lewis assessed the place of machine aesthetics in poetry and painting. In these texts, Lewis asked probing questions about how modern art was being evaluated, pointing to what he saw as the failure of the state to foster and protect art from the irresponsible and unaccountable demands of commercial interests, with artists (in the absence of any state support) increasingly operating as advertisers for corporations. Here Lewis made clear some of the modifications in his thinking, his increasingly inclination toward state intervention, and his continued opposition to the commercial imperatives of what he calls the ‘Bankers Olympia’ of contemporary capitalism, to which, in his view, the artists of the international style were openly and readily capitulating.
‘The Best in the Worst of All Possible Worlds’: Lewis and the Institutions
Authors: O'Donnell Nathan
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines Lewis’s evolving critical position in later life in light of his own professional exchanges with some of the institutions governing the art world. The chapter is structured around three case studies, documenting Lewis’s interactions with three key institutions: the Royal Academy, in particular the controversy surrounding their rejection of his Portrait of T.S. Eliotin 1938; the BBC, which became a key source of patronage for much of Lewis’s later work; and the Arts Council, which he saw as a repository of the values of Bloomsbury, enshrined in the form a new establishment. In particular, this chapter focuses on Lewis’s long critical essay on the Arts Council, published in The Listener in 1949. At this point some correlations between Lewis and Bloomsbury, for so long obscured by rivalry and self-promotion, can be clearly detected; for instance, both Lewis and Keynes were committed to a model of art founded upon autonomy and professional expertise. At the same time, certain unexpected divisions are also made evident, with Lewis emerging, at this late stage, as distinct from Keynes and the other representatives of the Arts Council, as the advocate of equality, opportunity, and transparency in the arts.
Afterword
Authors: O'Donnell Nathan
Published: January 2022

This brief afterword focuses on a late proposal by Lewis for a book that was never published, expanding on the critical Listener article, ‘Bread and Ballyhoo’, in which he mounted his critique of the Arts Council of Great Britain. This proposition demonstrates some of the key critical concerns for Lewis in relation to visual art in the last years of his life; his fears about the direction of art education; the perpetuation of class inequality within the arts; and the perceived failure of the establishment to recognise and nurture new talent. Some of these concerns ultimately fed into his 1954 book, The Demon of Progress in the Arts, in which he articulated his support for a new school of painting – including figures like Francis Bacon, Michael Ayrton, and Robert Colquhoun – within a framework of anti-abstraction and a critique of the newly-formed ICA. This afterword explores and contextualises these late manifestations of Lewis’s critical energies, surveying his late recognition as a writer and artist in the 1950s, before his reputational decline into obscurity after his death, an obscurity which prevailed until recent decades.
Joseph Conrad
Authors: Bercaw Edwards Mary K.
Published: January 2022

The question of language is inescapable in any discussion of the works of Joseph Conrad. Conrad did not speak English until he was 20. English was his third language, after Polish, his native tongue, and French. It was from seafarers that Conrad first learned English. Sailor talk was more essential to Conrad and his use of it far more complex and nuanced than has previously been acknowledged. For Conrad, the technical language of sailors—“the very terms of our sea-speech”—is an instance of perfection. He has aestheticized a language that seems the very opposite of beautiful. Yet it is not only in nonfiction works such as The Mirror of the Sea and Conrad’s late essays, “Notice to Mariners” (1922) and “Geography and Some Explorers” (1924), that he uses sea language. It permeates his fiction. Despite the formative effect of his maritime experience and use of sailor language, Conrad often lashed out against the confinement and restriction of being identified only as a writer of sea stories. Much as the label irritated him, however, the language never did. It imbues his storytelling.
The Lost Meaning of Jupiter’s High-degree Love Numbers
Authors: Idini Benjamin , Stevenson David J.
Published: January 2022

NASA’s Juno mission recently reported Jupiter’s high-degree (degree ℓ, azimuthal order m = 4, 2) Love number k
42 = 1.289 ± 0.063 (1σ), an order of magnitude above the hydrostatic k
42 obtained in a nonrotating Jupiter model. After numerically modeling rotation, the hydrostatic k
42 = 1.743 ± 0.002 is still 7σ away from the observation, raising doubts about our understanding of Jupiter’s tidal response. Here, we use first-order perturbation theory to explain the hydrostatic k
42 result analytically. We use a simple Jupiter equation of state (n = 1 polytrope) to obtain the fractional change in k
42 when comparing a rotating model with a nonrotating model. Our analytical result shows that the hydrostatic k
42 is dominated by the tidal response at ℓ = m = 2 coupled into the spherical harmonic ℓ, m = 4, 2 by the planet’s oblate figure. The ℓ = 4 normalization in k
42 introduces an orbital factor (a/s)2 into k
42, where a is the satellite semimajor axis and s is Jupiter’s average radius. As a result, different Galilean satellites produce a different k
42. We conclude that high-degree tesseral Love numbers (ℓ > m, m ≥ 2) are dominated by lower-degree Love numbers and thus provide little additional information about interior structure, at least when they are primarily hydrostatic. Our results entail important implications for a future interpretation of the currently observed Juno k
42. After including the coupling from the well-understood ℓ = 2 dynamical tides (Δk
2 ≈ −4%), Jupiter’s hydrostatic k
42 requires an unknown dynamical effect to produce a fractional correction Δk
42 ≈ −11% in order to fit Juno’s observation within 3σ. Future work is required to explain the required Δk
42.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Poor treatment adherence has been linked to recurrence and the development of antibiotic resistance in leprosy patients. Previous research has shown that structured health education programs improve treatment adherence in other patients, but similar research in leprosy patients is lacking.

AIM: This study aimed to assess the effect of interactive patient education on adherence to leprosy medications in an ambulatory care setting in Indonesia.

METHODS: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted between January and April 2021. The research was conducted at a public health center in West Papua, Indonesia. This RCT employed 1:1 randomization to allocate participants to one of two groups. Eligibility criteria included those aged over 18 years old and diagnosed with leprosy at least 6 months. An interactive patient education program included four intervention steps that lasted 1 month, with four sessions lasting 60–90 min each week. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess medication adherence. The difference-in-differences technique was used to evaluate the variances between T0 and T1 and T0 for the intervention versus control groups (DID).

RESULTS: Approximately, 200 participants agreed to join in this study (response rate = 72.5%). An interactive patient education program improved outcomes relative to the control at T1; medication adherence increased 0.11 (95% CI 0.01–0.25). At T2, improved outcomes relative to the control were observed in medication adherence (DID coefficient 0.31 (95% CI 0.10–0.59).

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that an interactive patient education program could effectively enhance medication adherence. Therefore, it is advised that health care professionals working with leprosy patients participate in the development of patient education programs and establish therapeutic partnerships with their patients.
A theoretical and aporetic framework on sexual murder and the description of a clinical case
Authors: Vitale Francesca
Published: January 2022

Homicide represents a very complex criminal event. While there is a voluminous international literature on the (non-sexual) murder phenomenon, the scientific production on the topic of sexual homicide appears incomplete. This is imputable to a series of problems that hinder the advancement of specialist scientific knowledge. The present article aims, first of all, to describe the problems that go across the activity of research in the field of sexual homicide and, then, to make a review of the main theoretical models developed to understand this type of crime. Finally, a case of Italian crime reports is analyzed through a criminological interpretation emerging from recent studies on sexual homicide.
Timeless investigations: cases of disappearance
Authors: Passeggio Marzia , Mastronardi Vincenzo M.
Published: January 2022

The work intends to show the complexity of cold cases, unresolved and closed cases that could again be the subject of an investigative procedure thanks to novelties such as testimonies or evidence. In particular, it focuses on cases of disappearance of people, national and international, on the difficulty of research and investigations and the treatment of the psychological aspects that this phenomenon can cause. Analyzing the cases of disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi and Denise Pipitone, we note how the investigative inconsistencies did not lead to the resolution of the case and the time that passed made everything more difficult.
Harmonic Mitigation In Grid-Tied TPSPPS Via Novel PRESH Controller
Authors: Yadav Uma , Gupta Anju , Ahuja Rajesh Kr
Published: January 2022

The proposed paper deals with a new type of controller credited with a name of “Novel PRESH” helpful in mitigating the harmonic of Grid Tied TPSPPS (Grid-Tied Three Phase Solar Photovoltaic Power System) even during abnormal grid condition. Novel PRESH controller is formed by combining the characteristic of PRES and RESH Controller and its harmonic mitigation analysis is done with the help of both Bode-Plot and MATLAB Simulink. Presently, for eliminating the harmonic from Grid -Tied TPSPPS, various filters and controllers have already been proposed but it either resulted in increase of computational load or make the system bulky. Earlier technique develops in eliminating the harmonic face difficulty in eliminating the harmonic when the reference waveform get distorted from its original position. The proposed “Novel PRESH” controller can also be incorporated when grid suffers from any abnormal condition. The presented paper will also discuss the performance analysis of controller along with its design procedure that are helpful in mitigating the THD of three phase SPPS near to 1% and thus satisfying the IEEE standard 519 and 1547.

Nowadays, the middle cranial fossa approach (MFA) is one of the most useful operative procedures in skull base surgery. When performed properly, it provides a relevant adjunct to treating complex skull base lesions. MFA allows one to resect the anterior petrous bone (anterior petrosectomy), open the internal auditory canal (IAC), and access the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus and the infratemporal fossa. Knowledge of the anatomical structures of the middle cranial fossa and cavernous sinus is mandatory to perform this approach. We report in detail the standard extradural subtemporal route for the anterior petrosectomy and MFA. The main indications for this approach are intradural lesions localized medially to the trigeminal nerve, subtemporal interdural and extradural tumours and neoplasms involving the IAC (including IAC pathology). Moreover, we describe the extended middle fossa approach, consisting in the anterior extension of MFA, indicated for intradural tumours of the superior cerebello-pontine angle and of prepontine clivus (retroclival lesions, ventral brainstem tumours, and cavernomas), for infratemporal fossa lesions, and cavernous sinus pathologies. Even if the anatomical landmarks of the middle cranial fossa and lateral skull base are well known, training with cadaver dissection is necessary for any skull-base surgeon to perform an optimum MFA. The cadaver-lab dissections simplify the learning of anatomical structures, and prepare the surgeon properly for this technically challenging approach.

Urinary Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) is a neglected, water-borne disease of major public health concern and can lead to chronic ill health condition mostly in rural environments. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of urinary schistosomiasis among students of three selected secondary schools in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State. A school–based questionnaire were administered to collect data on students’ population, report of hematuria, student’s age, sex, attitude and practices of the students.  A total of four hundred and forty-two (442) samples were collected and examined using a Visual Test Procedure (VTP) with Combi – 10 Uri screen® (German Technology) and Microscopic examination was carried out using x10 objective lens for the detection of Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium) eggs. Eggs of Schistosoma haematobium were detected in one hundred and forty (140) urine samples representing 31.7%; 134 (30.3%) were from males while only 6 samples (1.4%) were from females (P<0.05). The prevalence of hematuria was significantly higher (P<0.05) in males than in females. The highest prevalence was observed among age group 15 – 17 years (16.74%) while the least prevalence was observed in age group 9 – 11 years (0.23%). The study identified factors such as closeness of water bodies (OR= 2.9, P-value= 0.002) and swimming (OR= 7.5, P-value= < 0.0001) as risk factors for Schistosomiasis in the study area. The study confirmed high prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium in the study area. The study suggests that water control measures, proper sanitation and public enlightenment are highly needed to lower the prevalence of the urinary Schistosomiasis in the study area.

Zakat, infaq, and alms are an important and clear part of the Islamic economic system. Therefore, the Zakat Forum together with the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI) compiled zakat accounting in 2007. In 2008 IAI finalized PSAK No.109 on Zakat Accounting. This study aims to determine the suitability of the application of PSAK No. 109 regarding accounting for zakat, infaq/alms at the Depok City BAZNAS Institute. This study uses qualitative research with analytical descriptive methods and the data used in this study are primary data obtained from interviews and literature studies. This research concludes that BAZNAS Depok City has implemented PSAK No.109 on accounting for zakat, infaq/alms as well as possible because almost all regulations in PSAK No.109 are followed by BAZNAS Depok City. The application of PSAK No. 109 concerning Accounting for zakat, infaq/alms at BAZNAS Depok City as evidence of the management's commitment in realizing transparency and accountability in the management of zakat infaq/alms.
