NUMBER OF OPERATIVE ACTIONS AND REFERRALS TO GYNECOLOGY CASES AT MALINGPING HOSPITAL 2020-2022
Authors: Halim William
Published: January 2024

Almost every woman has experienced a gynecological condition in her life. Access to quality and adequate health services for women is one of the Indonesian government's national programs. The main aim of this study is to assess the number of procedures and referrals for gynecological cases at the Malingping Regional General Hospital (RSUD) from 2020 to 2022. This research is a retrospective descriptive study. The target population includes all gynecology patients in outpatient clinics. In contrast, the accessible population is all gynecology patients undergoing outpatient treatment at Malingping District Hospital during that period. Research shows that ovarian tumors dominate with 45% of a total of 140 cases, with various treatments such as surgery and referral, especially in cases of suspected malignancy. Malingping District General Hospital faces significant obstacles in patient referral, particularly in cancer cases involving long travel and long waiting times, which have the potential to worsen patient morbidity and mortality. Challenges such as limited anatomical pathology facilities, distance to referral hospitals, and the uneven distribution of specialist doctors underscore the need to improve infrastructure, services, and health policies to ensure better access for regional patients. Cases with gynecological problems can be managed observationally, medically, and operatively. Correct diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Hospitals must have a unified system, human resources, facilities, and infrastructure to support this. The current problem at Malingping Regional Hospital is supporting examinations, the availability of which depends on the hospital's spending capacity.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF INFLUENZA, ARI AND COVID-19 PREVALENCE IN BULGARIA FOR THE PERIOD 2017-2022
Authors: Getsova Zhivka , Minkova Antoaneta , Tsoneva Ralitsa , Petkova Kalina
Published: January 2024

Introduction: The report presents a comparison of the incidence of respiratory infections - influenza, other acute respiratory infections and COVID-19 for the period 2017-2022. A comparative analysis of the epidemiological dynamics in different areas of the country is made and factors such as demography and vaccine coverage are also analyzed.
Materials and Methods: A comparative analysis of the prevalence of Influenza/ARI, and COVID-19 was made for the years of the studied period. Regional values were compared to the country total in order to rank regions according to the experienced disease incidence burden at a regional level. The percentile method was used to identify and filter the regions where Influenza/ARI waves appeared with the highest intensity in the country. To compare intensity of COVID-19 waves between the selected regions we used the maximal weekly incidence values per 100 000 population reached for the different periods of the pandemic. Information on the age structure of the population in the respective regions and the vaccine uptake was retrieved and compared.
Results: The regions of Blagoevgrad, Montana, Haskovo, Razgrad, Kardzhali, Sliven and Targovishte were filtered among all regions as the ones with the most intensive Influenza waves for the period 2017-2022.  Blagoevgrad and Sliven were the regions with higher maximal COVID-19 incidence values before the Delta circulation and during the Omicron predominance. When the Delta variant was predominant, Blagoevgrad and Montana surpassed the incidence recorded for the country. No data supporting the initial hypothesis that demographic structure at regional level determines intensity of spread of the two viral respiratory infections was found. However, the regions with higher COVID-19 vaccines coverage were found to have the lowest incidence levels of the infection.
Conclusion: Although COVID-19 and Influenza/ARI are both respiratory infections, they differ in their epidemiology and no specific pattern can be found. We recommend that anti-epidemic measures should be followed to limit incidence regardless of the circulating respiratory pathogen.

Published: January 2024

HIV-1 infection in Bulgaria is known for its high level of genetic diversity. Previous studies have indicated that subtype B is the most common strain in Bulgaria, particularly among men who have sex with men, who are at a high risk of transmission. The primary objective of this study was to identify any transmission clusters and transmission resistance in individuals newly diagnosed with HIV-1 who have not yet received antiretroviral therapy (ART).
To this end, we sequenced the HIV-1 pol gene in the samples from the study participants using either the Viroseq HIV-1 Genotyping Test (Abbott) and the Applied Biosystems 3130xl genetic analyzer or the TruGene DNA Sequencing System (Siemens Healthcare) and an OpenGene DNA sequencing system. We then subtyped the HIV-1 pol sequences, and further analyzed those that met the criteria for subtype B.
The study included a total of 595 HIV-1 subtype B sequences. Our analysis revealed that the majority of those diagnosed with HIV-1 subtype B were male and lived in Sofia region. The most common transmission mode was through sexual intercourse among men who have sex with men, followed by heterosexual transmission. We also observed the presence of multiple transmission clusters , and a low percentage of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs). Overall, our study confirms that HIV-1 subtype B remains the most dominant strain in Bulgaria.
A Tenderness Approach to Philosophy
Authors: Paquette Elisabeth ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

In this paper, I outline various pedagogical practices that I believe are important for diversifying the field of philosophy. I outline these practices through a discussion of knowledge and its production, the production of relations through collective acts, the creation of space in and beyond the institution, and finally moving beyond inclusion narratives. The various pedagogical practices that I outline have been developed in, and drawn from, a workshop titled the Feminist Decolonial Politics Workshop. Ultimately, in this paper I utilize what I call a “tenderness approach to philosophy”—tenderness as devotion of time and concentration, as directional, relational, and embodied—in order to demonstrate how tenderness can be applied to a pedagogical context.
Abolition and Anarchy, Then and Now
Authors: Dumler-Winckler Emily ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

The movements for prison and police abolition today are not only analogous to but extensions of antebellum and postbellum movements for the abolition of slavery and segregation. Dreams of transformative justice, resistance to government, and the creation of alternative practices have been vital to abolitionist efforts to dismantle various US anarchies. This essay examines the political and theological debates of antebellum abolitionists about the US government, the Constitution and law more broadly, civil disobedience, anarchy, and revolution, arguing that these remain vital debates for abolitionists today.

Published: January 2024

Indonesia is renowned for the variety of its plant life. Although poorly managed, Indonesia is a mega-biodiversity nation with a wealth of medicinal plants and significant development potential. Owned natural resources have benefited people's everyday lives in addition to being used as food and traditional medicine. Gaharu is a type of biodiversity that has the potential to be used in traditional medicine. Aquilaria agaloccha Rox, a member of the Thymeliaceae family, is the source of gaharu, however it can also be found in plants from the Leguminoceae and Euphorbiaceae families. The general populace believes that gaharu leaves can decrease blood pressure and act as an antioxidant. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) technique is the research methodology utilized in literature review articles. Publish or Perish, (2010-2023), is the text that was utilized. Gaharu (Aquilaria malaccensis L.) is a plant that may create secondary metabolites in the form of phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, and steroids/triterpenoids, all of which are potent antioxidants, according to the findings of a literature study.
Extending Privacy Harms Toward a Non-Economic Perspective
Authors: Muhawe Christopher , Bashir Masooda
Published: January 2024

Addressing data breach harms has become a great challenge in the administration of privacy law in the United States. Several data breach cases have been dismissed by US courts because the victims cannot prove cognizable harm. The current US legal system emphasizes that data breach victims must prove that they have suffered an “injury in fact,” which means that the injury suffered must be concrete and particularized. Data breach harms are futuristic and hard-to-quantify, reasons for which they may not fit in the “injury in fact” requirement. Furthermore, victims of data violations have attempted to plead economic loss to prove the harm suffered, but with no success. This article suggests a new approach that aims at addressing privacy harms without necessarily proving economically quantifiable harm.

Citation Analysis of Education Dissertations for Collection Development
Authors: Haycock Laurel A.
Published: January 2024

The reference lists of forty-three education dissertations on curriculum and instruction completed at the University of Minnesota during the calendar years 2000–2002 were analyzed to inform collection development. As one measure of use of the academic library collection, the citation analysis yielded data to guide journal selection, retention, and cancellation decisions. The project aimed to ensure that the most frequently cited journals were retained on subscription. The serial monograph ratio for citation also was evaluated in comparison with other studies and explored in the context of funding ratios. Results of citation studies can provide a basis for liaison conversations with faculty in addition to guiding selection decisions. This research project can serve as a model for similar projects in other libraries that look at literature in education as well as other fields.

Published: January 2024

A hearing aid is a small electronic device that is worn in or behind the ear.  It makes some sounds louder for a person with hearing loss to hear, communicate and participate more fully in daily activities. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and use of hearing aids among hearing impaired persons visiting ENT clinic at Tamale Teaching Hospital. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used and 52 hearing impaired persons were selected using a purposive sampling. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings suggest a significant proportion of respondents (36.5%) reported being slightly knowledgeable about the benefits of using hearing aids, (28.8%) considered themselves moderately knowledgeable about the benefits of hearing aids was whiles a small proportion (15.4%) of respondents claimed to be very knowledgeable about the benefits of hearing aids. Surprisingly, (19.3%) of respondents indicated that they had no knowledge at all about the benefits of hearing aids.  However, there are challenges related to access, affordability (19.2%), and sustained use of hearing aids that need to be addressed.  The deductions and inferences drawn from the results of the findings suggest that ENT Specialists, Audiologist in collaboration with management of TTH should develop and implement educational programs and awareness campaigns targeted at the hearing-impaired patients/clients visiting the clinic to improve their knowledge and understanding on the benefits of using hearing aids.

Optimal mass of structure with motion described by Sturm-Liouville operator: design and predesign
Authors: Belinskiy Boris P. , Smith Tanner A.
Published: January 2024

We find an optimal design of a structure described by a Sturm-Liouville (S-L) problem with a spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. Using an approach from calculus of variations, we determine a set of critical points of a corresponding mass functional. However, these critical points - which we call predesigns - do not necessarily themselves represent meaningful solutions: it is of course natural to expect a mass to be real and positive. This represents a generalization of previous work on the topic in several ways. First, previous work considered only boundary conditions and S-L coefficients under certain simplifying assumptions. Principally, we do not assume that one of the coefficients vanishes as in the previous work. Finally, we introduce a set of solvability conditions on the S-L problem data, confirming that the corresponding critical points represent meaningful solutions we refer to as designs. Additionally, we present a natural schematic for testing these conditions, as well as suggesting a code and several numerical examples.

Credit control contributes to enhancing macro-prudential measures Practice in some countries and Vietnam
Authors:   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Vũ Mai Chi
Published: January 2024

In the world, central banks have utilized credit control measures to enhance macroprudential, monetary, and other macro policies to achieve economic goals. Since 2011, the State Bank of Vietnam has adopted credit control as an administrative measure, alongside its more conventional monetary policy tools (refinancing, interest rates, exchange rates, reserves requirements, and open market operations) to curb inflation at its annual target level. In its function, credit control (setting the credit growth targets) acts as an immediate target which assists the SBV in achieving its monetary policy targets and ensuring macroprudential and stability of the banking system. This Article discerns some stylized facts of Vietnam’s credit growth data and its time-varying co-volatility relationships with economic growth and inflation. Combined with a meta-analysis of some studies and reviews of monetary policy through the lens of both interest rate-based monetary policy as well as one monetary aggregate to qualitatively evaluate and analyze the management of credit growth instruments of the SBV from 2011 to the present.

Authors:   Thuong mai University, Nguyễn Thanh Phương , Đặng Thị Lan Phương
Published: January 2024

This study explores micro and macro factors affecting the NPL ratio of Vietnamese commercial banks in 2015- 2022, including the period negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The research data was collected from 25 commercial banks whose shares were traded on all three stock exchanges in Vietnam. This dataset helps readers have a more comprehensive view of the factors affecting non performing loan ratio of the group of banks, with total assets accounting for nearly 80% of the total assets of 32 commercial banks operating in Vietnam. Based on the development and testing of a linear regression model, the study has contributed to demonstrating the positive impact of marginal interest income ratio, credit risk provision on lousy debt ratio, and the negative impact of return on equity and credit growth rates on non-performing loans of commercial banks studied in the period 2015- 2022

Authors: Stamenković Zoran , Ristić Lidija
Published: January 2024

Introduction. When receiving anesthesia, patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are more likely to experience perioperative difficulties than those without this diagnosis. Aim. The aims of the paper were to highlight the correlation between OSA and increased risk of perioperative complications and present possible complications and pathophysiological mechanisms that may condition them in the perioperative environment; to review available preoperative screening methods of OSA and treatment planning strategies that should be considered as part of the perioperative care of these patients. Methodology. Standard databases were searched to identify qualified studies that included adult surgical patients without, suspected or diagnosed OSA. Results. Anesthesia method selection, airway management, and patient monitoring are all part of the customized care plan that must be used for each patient who is at risk for or has been diagnosed with OSA. Conclusion. The rising prevalence and heterogeneity of OSA, as well as the lack of solid risk predictors and well-documented evidence-based studies on the effectiveness of perioperative interventions, pose a challenge for future research in order to implement an appropriate strategy for perioperative care of OSA patients and prevent life-threatening consequences.

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a collective term given to the disorders affecting the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and their related structures. The aetiology of TMD is complex and their management includes various invasive and non-invasive methods. The increasing trend in non-invasive, non-pharmacological interventions for the management of TMJ pain has led to the development of modalities of physical therapy. Ultrasound is an electrophysical treatment modality used in the management of TMD. The aim of this study is to provide an insight into ultrasound based treatment modalities used for the effective management of TMD. Materials and methods: Electronic database search was carried out in Google Scholar and PubMed using the search terms "ultrasound therapy", "therapeutic ultrasound" and "temporomandibular joint disorders". The results obtained from the database search were screened and included for the review. Commonly used therapeutic ultrasound methods in the management of temporomandibular joint disorders with the treatment protocols, advantages, limitations and other factors to be considered for an effective treatment outcome is discussed in the present review. Conclusion: Various new ultrasound-based TMJ therapeutic modalities may be developed in the near future.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: The most common major salivary gland neoplasm is the Pleomorphic adenoma. Only 10% of the pleomorphic adenoma occur in minor salivary glands. 42.8% to 68.8% of cases with intraoral lesion occurs in the palate. Here we present a rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma masquerading as a lesion of odontogenic origin. Case report presents a male patient who reported with a chief complaint of swelling in the upper left tooth region since 3 months. Panoramic radiograph revealed shadow of a soft tissue swelling in the left maxillary posterior region with destruction and resorption of the alveolar process. Radiographic differential diagnosis of benign odontogenic/non-odontogenic cysts or tumours, benign minor salivary gland tumours were considered. Excisional biopsy was carried out and the lesion was removed in total up to the periosteum and the overlying mucosa and sent for histopathologic examination, which suggested pleomorphic adenoma. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign neoplasm which has excellent prognosis with a cure rate of more than 95%. However, periodic long term follow up is mandatory.
Exposure to mercury in dentistry: A safety concern
Authors: Shetty Pushparaja , Shetty Akshatha
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Mercury is a heavy metal and overexposure to mercury may have a toxic effect on the nervous system, renal system, reproductive system, immune system and on motor activity. In dentistry, mercury is used along with metals in amalgam restorations. Studies have shown that mercury consistently releases from amalgam restorations. There is a controversy regarding this released mercury having any toxic effect on human beings. The aim: The aim of this work was to highlight the adverse effect of silver amalgam restoration and create awareness among all. Conclusion: Amalgam is still widely used as restorative material due to its excellent physical properties. Because of its environmental impact, mercury must be kept away from all users, including dentistry.
Normative aspects of the misdemeanor of reckless driving
Authors: Jeličić Mladen
Published: January 2024

In the paper, the author discusses the normative aspects of the misdemeanor of violent driving from Articles 41 and 329 of the Law on Road Traffic Safety. After the introductory remarks, the legal regulations were analyzed and it was pointed out that, in the opinion of the author, the misdemeanor manifests itself in several forms. Controversial issues arising from the legal norming of misdemeanor and causing dilemmas in practice are defined. Normative aspects of misdemeanor are viewed through the theoretical institutes of unity of action, concurrence of misdemeanors and misdemeanor of extended duration. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the nature of the misdemeanor regulated by Article 41 paragraph 1, which is controversial because it is not precisely defined and leaves a possibility for different interpretations, in contrast to Article 41 paragraph 2 in which the legislator prescribed four alternative acts of execution that represent violent driving. The practical implications of situations when the perpetrator fulfills at least two of the four stipulated conditions from Article 41 paragraph 2, the relationship between the two forms of misdemeanor, as well as the conditions for the existence of a misdemeanor in an extended duration and a more serious form of misdemeanor were considered. The author also analyzed the question of the concurrence of misdemeanor violent driving and other traffic misdemeanors, defining the criteria by which an answer can be given to the question of when there is a concurrence of misdemeanors, and when there is a natural unity of action and iterative realization of the essence of the violent driving misdemeanor. Supporting the argumentation with examples from judicial practice, the author concluded that de lege ferenda the considered misdemeanor should be more precisely regulated normatively in order to avoid wandering in judicial practice.

Resources, hardware, support system, and time management were found to be the best practices of the participants in terms of addressing the identified challenges in the course. In terms of the necessary skills and attitude to be successful in the course, participants emphasized the need for communication, teaming and collaboration, information, media, and technology literacy, flexibility and adaptability, critical thinking, and time management skills. Also, motivation and perseverance were among the significant attitudes to be developed in taking the course.
Duhovna smrt kao individualizovana sudbina likova u pripovetkama A. P. Čehova i Laze K. Lazarevića
Authors: Cvetković Raisa
Published: January 2024

Glavni predmet istraživanja ove studije bio je da ispitamo duhovnu smrt junaka, percipiranu kao temu i individualizovanu sudbinu likova u pripovetkama A. P. Čehova i Laze K. Lazarevića. U uvodnom delu studije ukazujemo na to, da se u tesnoj vezi sa pojmom duhovne smrti junaka nalaze medicinska, filozofska i književna tumačenja tanatologije i tanatoloških motiva. U središnjem delu rada najpre je objašnjen pojam duhovne smrti kao neizlečivo stanje neuroza, depresije, stresova i posttraumatskih stanja, koji doprinose nastanku poremećaja depersonalizacije, derealizacije i hronične depresije. Drugi deo središnjeg dela rada daje uvid u konkretne primere junaka za koje se može vezati pojam duhovne smrti u pripovetkama Čehova i Lazarevića. U završnom delu ukazano je na sličnosti i razlike u pripovedačkom postupku dvojice autora, kada je tema duhovne smrti kao sudbina junaka u pitanju.
