Large lakes
Authors:   Canada Surveys and Mapping Branch
Published: February 2021

The map shows the location of 565 lakes and reservoirs with a total lake area larger than 100 square kilometres or 38.6 square miles. A table shows the fifteen largest lakes ranked by their area with their maximum depth. An examination of inland hydrologic
subsystems must stress the roles of lakes and lake systems. This is particularly true in Canada, where fresh water covers about 8 per cent of the surface area, an area greater than the province of Alberta, which comprises about 5 per cent of the Canadian landmass. The rate at which water is
evaporated from large lake surfaces depends on the surface temperature of lakes. Although the hydraulic flow-through forces are the most significant in influencing the rate at which lakes lose water downstream on the surface, lake currents may also be established because of horizontal differences in
lake water density. Wind-induced seiches have often caused substantial rapid fluctuations in lake levels, resulting in flooding and other water management problems
Annual runoff
Authors:   Canada Surveys and Mapping Branch
Published: February 2021

The map shows the annual runoff in millimetres. Annual runoff varies from year to year owing to variations in precipitation, evaporation, and natural storage. The map presents the long-term average of these annual variations. The annual runoff is smallest in
southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta with values lower than 25 millimetres. The greatest annual runoff occurs on the west coast of British Columbia where values reach over 3200 millimetres. In the east of the country, the values are around 1000 to 1400 millimetres on the coast of
Newfoundland and decrease as one goes west to reach values lower than 200 millimetres in Manitoba. The map has been compiled using actual and synthesized data from a number of sources. In most parts of the country, isolines of mean annual runoff are shown at 100-millimetre intervals, but for
mountainous terrain, particularly in British Columbia, such an interval is not possible on a map of this scale. A few representatives isolines are shown, to indicate the t
Surficial hydrogeology
Authors:   Canada Surveys and Mapping Branch
Published: February 2021

The map shows the quantity and quality of groundwater. The quality is the total dissolved solids in parts per million. The quantity is expressed in litres per second. During the Pleistocene epoch Canada was almost entirely covered by glaciers. Hence, although
there are extensive and hydrologically important alluvial (river) deposits, as well as lesser areas of eolian (wind-deposited) materials, the country's unconsolidated surficial materials are predominantly of glacial derivation. These highly variable and irregular glacial materials contain many of
the best local near-surface aquifers. The groundwater resource potential of the materials depends on their intergranular porosity and permeability, which result from the mode of deposition. Some glacial materials were deposited directly by ice; others, by running water and standing meltwater. In
size they range from a very fine rock flour and clays through sands and gravels to large blocks. Tills and clays, however, are the predominant glacial deposits
Bedrock hydrogeology
Authors:   Canada Surveys and Mapping Branch
Published: February 2021

The map shows the location and distribution of bedrock aquifers. The quality is expressed by the total dissolved solids in parts per million and the quantity is expressed in litre per second. Bedrock deposits consist of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous
rocks; Canada possesses all three types. Sedimentary rocks have a much greater aquifer potential than the other two types of bedrock, but because of their depth, they are less accessible and less economical to use than aquifers in the unconsolidated surficial materials. Metamorphic and igneous
rocks, which have low porosity and permeability, are, in general, poor aquifers and expensive to exploit, although locally, fracturing and shear zones may provide reasonable groundwater supplies on a domestic or slightly larger scale. It must be realized that both quantity and quality of groundwater
can vary markedly from one location to another over very short distances. Because of scale limitations, areas of salt-water intrusion along marine coastlines ha
Conservative Management of Iatrogenic Tracheal Rupture in a 19-Month-Old Child
Authors: Acer-Demir Tugba , Arslan Esra Elif
Published: February 2021

Up to date, only five cases of iatrogenic tracheal rupture during rigid bronchoscopy have been reported in children. Herein, we report the first case who has recovered with spontaneous respiration without intubation. Rigid bronchoscopy of a 19-month-old girl revealed a foreign body at the right main bronchus. While the bronchoscope was being withdrawn, we identified a 0.5-cm longitudinal mucosal laceration along the right wall of the membranous trachea. As her spontaneous respiration was adequate, she was treated conservatively. For the treatment of tracheal lacerations, while early surgical repair has traditionally been acceptable, evidence supporting conservative treatment is increasing, particularly in paediatric cases. If spontaneous respiration is sufficient, bridging the laceration with an endotracheal tube may not be required.

Published: February 2021

Internal hernia through an iatrogenic defect in the hepatic falciform ligament and acquired jejunal atresia in a 8-day-old neonate was reported. The PubMed, MEDLINE, CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu databases were searched The literature about the hepatic falciform ligament iatrogenic defect causing internal hernia was analysed. Ten other cases were collected from the world literature. Herniated intestinal necrosis was found in four cases. All cases were recovered uneventfully after operation. Internal herniation through an iatrogenic defect in the hepatic falciform ligament is extremely rare. However, the case reports are increasing, especially in the era of laparoscopic surgery. Adequate closure or open the defect is essential to prevent internal hernia occurrence.

Published: February 2021

Background:

Elastic stable intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for femur shaft fractures in school-age children in developed world. However, in the sub-Saharan Africa, this management is still challenging because of the lack of fluoroscopy in more hospitals. We performed either primary open reduction and intramedullary K-wire fixation (PORIKF) or conservative treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of these two procedures employed.

Patients and Methods:

This retrospective study included 62 children with 64 fractures (10 years on an average; range: 6–15 years) treating for femoral shaft fractures either by PORIKF (n = 21; 23 fractures) or skin traction followed by spica cast (n = 41) between 2008 and 2017. Outcomes were assessed using Flynn criteria. Comparisons were made by Fisher and Student's t-test with a significant P < 5%.

Results:

Outcomes were satisfactory in 21 cases (91%) in the PORIKF group compared with 32 (78%) in the conservative group (P = 0.3012). The average hospital stay was 18.6 days in the PORIKF group, whereas it was 20 in the conservative group (P = 0.0601). The mean time for bone union was 13.9 weeks in the PORIKF group and 13.2 weeks in the conservative group, (P = 0.4346). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of major complications (P = 0.0177). One patient had osteomyelitis in the PORIKF group. Unacceptable shortening >2 cm was observed only in the conservative group. The average time to return to daily activities was 30 days shorter in the PORIKF group when compared to conservative group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

PORIKF provides better results than conservative treatment. Open reduction did not increase the rate of infectious complication.

Published: February 2021

Sternal cleft is a rare congenital anomaly which is generally observed at birth. The aetiology remains obscure. Superior clefts are more frequent than inferior ones, and isolated central clefts are extremely rare. Surgery is recommended to protect the heart and other mediastinal contents from trauma and also to improve respiratory dynamics. We present the case of a newborn with isolated central clefts and we will give a review of the literature.

Published: February 2021

Facial teratomas are uncommon tumours in children that distort the face and may be associated with functional problems. They are less common than cervical teratomas though they are often grouped together and considered an emergency due to their tendency to cause respiratory compromise. They tend to be large and cause cosmetic issues; hence usually noticed early and medical help sought promptly by parents. The close proximity of facial teratomas to structures like eyes, parotid gland, facial nerve, vessels and brain makes them challenging and requires a patient and meticulous exploration during surgery. We present a case of an 11 month old girl with left sided temporal teratoma. Well planning of the incision and complete excision of the tumour with careful sparing of the facial nerves and parotid gland yielded good result.

Published: February 2021

Bochdalek hernia usually presents in neonates in the form of respiratory distress. Presentation as acute intestinal obstruction is extremely rare. We report a 6-month-old male infant with spontaneous rupture of the sac in a Bochdalek hernia leading to acute gastrointestinal obstruction. Diaphragmatic hernia can rarely present as acute intestinal obstruction due to spontaneous rupture of sac.
Evaluation of Tunica Vaginalis Free Graft as a Better Alternative to Tunica Vaginalis Pedicled Flap for Providing Waterproof Cover in Stage II Hypospadias Repair
Authors: Tiwari Charu , Borkar Nitinkumar
Published: February 2021

Background:

Tunica vaginalis (TV) flap has been used by many surgeons as a waterproof layer to cover neourethra. We present our experience in using free TV graft as an alternative to TV flap for providing waterproof cover in second-stage hypospadias repair.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective review of ten patients with severe hypospadias who underwent Stage II hypospadias repair over a period of 15 months was carried out. Free TV graft was used to cover neourethra in all the patients.

Results:

The median age of patients was 3.5 years. Six patients had proximal hypospadias with severe chordee and four patients had peno-scrotal hypospadias. Eight patients had undergone Byars procedure and two patients had undergone Bracka's procedure during the first stage repair in the same institute. The mean operative time for Stage II repair using free TV graft was 150 min (standard deviation ± 15 min). All patients passed urine in good stream following stent/feeding tube removal. The average duration of hospital stay was 11 days. None of our patients developed urethrocutaneous fistula. Only one patient had superficial surgical site infection. All patients are well on follow-up after 6 months.

Conclusion:

Free TV graft could be used in place of TV flap as an intermediate waterproof cover to reduce the incidence of urethrocutaneous fistula in staged II hypospadias repair; however, studies involving a larger number of patients would be required to draw conclusions.
Surgical treatment of traumatic arteriovenous fistula after failed endovascular treatment
Authors: Cai Hao , Li Kailong , Sun Ziqiang , Jin Song
Published: February 2021

Endovascular interventional therapy is the first choice for the treatment of the traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) because of its small trauma, fast recovery, exact effect, and low incidence of complications. However, surgery is still an important option for patients with contraindications to endovascular treatment or failure of endovascular treatment. We present the case of a 64-year-old male who was carried out with traumatic AVF and given endovascular treatment in other hospital 10 years ago. However, AVF did not disappear after surgery, and symptoms of venous hypertension such as lower limb swelling and ulcers appeared. We removed the stent and repaired the AVF with opening surgery. AVF did not recur after 1-year follow-up.

Authors: Sun Ziqiang , Li Xiaoqin , Tang Liyong , Jin Song
Published: February 2021

Salmonella aortitis accounts for approximately 40% of all infectious aortitis. Superficial femoral artery aneurysm infected by Salmonella typhi has rarely been reported. The study reported a 71-year-old Chinese woman with a previous history of nephrotic syndrome and long-term oral hormone therapy, who was admitted to the hospital with a gradually increasing pulsatile mass in the right thigh and pain. After admission, computed tomography angiography revealed rupture and bleeding of an aneurysm in the middle and lower segment of the right superficial femoral artery (SFA). The aneurysm of the SFA was satisfactorily isolated by the covered stent. The bacterial culture of the secretion from the punctured mass showed the S. typhi infection. Based on the results of the drug sensitivity test, the patient received anti-infective treatment for 4 weeks. The patient recovered well after 1-year follow-up.
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Toward COVID-19 in China: An Online Cross-Sectional Survey
Authors: Fang Yaqing , Liu Panpan , Gao Qisheng
Published: February 2021

To analyze the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice about COVID-19 among Chinese residents, noninterventional and anonymous survey was carried out with an online questionnaire. Among the survey respondents (n = 619), 59.9% were female, 61.1% were from 18 to 30 years of age, and 42.3% held an undergraduate’s degree. The mean scores for each scale were as follows: perceived knowledge (36.3 ± 6.1), attitude (29.4 ± 4.7), practice (44.1 ± 4.8), total score (109.7 ± 13.2), barrier (0.2 ± 0.7), and cognition and behavior change score (8.5 ± 1.4). Perceived knowledge, attitude, practice, total score, and cognition and behavior changes were significantly and positively correlated, whereas barrier was negatively correlated with those scales (P < 0.001). Linear regressions revealed that those respondents who were medical professionals, civil servants, employees of state-owned enterprises and public institutions, and had relatively higher level of education were associated with a higher perceived knowledge score, attitude score, practice score, and total score. Higher mean cognition and behavior change score was associated with company employees (8.8 ± 1.3). More than half of the respondents (51.4%) were optimistic about the government's interventional measures. The respondents in China had good knowledge, positive attitude, and active practice toward COVID-19, yet, it is advisable to strengthen nationwide publicity and focus on the target undereducated population by means of We-Chat, microblog, website, and community workers for better control effect.

Published: February 2021

In this paper, we propose three solid-core photonic crystal fibers based on silica, with hexagonal, circular and square lattices as a cladding, composed of 8 rings of air-holes surrounding the core, infiltrated with ethanol. Using a commercial software we simulated the light propagation in these structures. The size of the air-holes was from 1 µm to 4 µm. We have shown that the fibers with the hexagonal lattices are optimal for supercontinuum generation since their dispersion characteristics are flat and the smallest.

Parallel study on removal efficiency of pharmaceuticals and PFASs in advanced water treatment processes: Ozonation, GAC adsorption, and RO processes
Authors: Choe Hyun-Seok , Kim Ki Yong , Oh Jeong-Eun , Kim Jae-Hyuk
Published: February 2021

We aimed to assess the removal efficiencies of four pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, crotamiton, metformin, and sulfamethoxazole) and four poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) (PFHxA, PFHxS, PFOA, and PFOS) by lab-scale ozonation, granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes under varying operating conditions. Ozonation and GAC adsorption processes were conducted at two temperatures (5 and 25°C) and three pH conditions (3, 7, and 11). The membrane process was performed using an unstirred cell with two different RO membranes. The most pharmaceuticals were effectively removed by ozonation, whereas metformin and PFASs were unaffected due to their stable chemical structures. In the GAC process, metformin was hardly removed under acidic conditions but it was enhanced by over 90%. PFASs were effectively removed by GAC adsorption and RO membrane processes. The RO membrane for brackish water treatment showed higher rejection than that for residential water treatment. Moreover, the rejection of PFAS increased as the molecular weight increased. A strategy was found to effectively remove the remaining metformin in most advanced water treatment processes. Chemically persistent PFASs were hardly removed by the ozonation process but were effectively removed by physical treatments such as GAC adsorption and RO membrane processes.

Published: February 2021

This research aimed to explore the actual situation of information accessibility for university students with visual impairment at higher academic institutions of Lahore, Pakistan. This research adopted a qualitative research design using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to investigate the proposed phenomenon. The participants were recruited with purposive sampling from higher academic institutions for data collection. Face to face interview of 15 visually impaired students was conducted using an interview guide. The participants were debriefed for data authentication and verification at the end. Each interview was transcribed and analyzed carefully using IPA. The results indicated that these students utilized interpersonal relationships as the primary source of their academic information. The other available facilities for information access included the internet, disability resources center (if available at the institution), and the university library. The major barriers in accessing needed information included: format barriers, navigational barriers, technical barriers, ICTs illiteracy, and financial barriers. The university administration, especially libraries, should consider students with various disabilities while designing information infrastructure for its community. This research can be used as a guide by library staff in designing need-based information services for students with visual imprisonment. This research would be a worthy contribution to the existing literature as only a few studies were conducted in Pakistan.
The Impact of Crisis Management on Employee’s Performance in the Yemeni Oil and Gas Industry
Authors: Alariki Ghadah , Al-Abed Mohammed Saleh
Published: February 2021

This study examines the impact of crisis management on employee’s performance in the Yemeni oil and gas industry. Crisis management was measured by two dimensions; crisis preparedness and crisis prevention. Whereas employee’s performance was measured by three diminutions; task performance, adaptive performance, and contextual performance. The study uses a quantitative approach. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 6 oil and gas companies. The sample comprises of 351 participants, out of which 268 (74.23%) responded. The reliability of the instruments was examined and the results of the Cronbach’s Alpha was .906, indicating an excellent reliability. The results of regression analysis reveal that crisis management as the whole independent variable has a significant impact on employee’s performance as dependent variable. Furthermore, the results of regression analysis reveal that there is a significant relationship between crisis management and employee’s performance in terms of crisis preparedness, crisis prevention, and employee’s performance. Essentially, crisis appraisals should include testing as an integral aspect of planning for any eventuality. Ultimately, organizations should install communication units or structures and ensure employees are trained well. This study has made some recommendations for oil and gas companies.
Giant Parasitic Fibroid Mimicking Gist: A Clinical Dilemma
Authors: Kurude Vilas Namdev , Gitte Venkat , Raheja Aastha , Kejriwal Anamika , Raut Shruti
Published: February 2021

Background

Parasitic fibroids are a rare type of fibroids without direct uterine attachment. They pose a diagnostic dilemma and often present atypically.

Case description

We report a rare case of large secondary parasitic fibroid in a 24 year unmarried female who presented with history of lump abdomen for 6 months. She had history of laparoscopic myomectomy done 2.5 years back for the same complaint with histopathology report suggestive of leiomyoma. On examination, it was found to be subserosal pedunculated fibroid. All the tumor markers were negative except CA 125 which was 225 IU/mL. Exploratory laparotomy was done. Uterus was normal size and seen separately. Bilateral tubes and ovaries were normal. A mass of size 30 × 22 × 15 cm, firm in consistency occupying all the quadrants of abdomen, was observed. It had no attachment to the uterus or to the bowel. Mass weighing 6.5 kg was removed completely and sent for histopathology. HPE report confirmed leiomyoma. Her postoperative period was uneventful.

Conclusion

If the patient had prior history of myomectomy and mass is separate from the uterus with its blood supply away from uterus, diagnosis of parasitic leiomyoma should be considered.

Clinical significance

During morcellation procedures, a thorough inspection and washing of peritoneal cavity must be carried out, and endoscopic bag should be used to prevent secondary parasitic leiomyoma.

Complex Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Binswanger Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Choudhury Sunayana , Sarkar Sukanto , Balasundaram Sivaprakash , Saldanha Natasha C
Published: February 2021

“Binswanger disease” is a controversial eponym frequently used to indicate a form of vascular dementia characterized by white matter rarefaction and lacunar infarcts. Clinical features of Binswanger disease are variable, and the psychiatric manifestations have been less well described. We report a case of a 78-year-old female presenting with 3-month history of precognitive experiences, hallucinations in multiple modalities, inappropriate behavior, insomnia, and deterioration in self-care. Patient is a known case of hypertension and has a past history of multiple transient ischemic attacks. Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Frontal Assessment Battery showed significant dysfunction. Neuropsychiatric inventory confirmed presence of psychopathology. Salient findings on magnetic resonance imaging brain included cerebral atrophy, chronic white matter ischemic changes, and multiple lacunar infarcts.

A tese da imprescritibilidade de danos ambientais em Repercussão Geral do Supremo Tribunal Federal e a possibilidade de aplicação da teoria de risco agravado
Authors: Oliveira Júnior Vicente de Paulo Augusto de , Pagliuca Daniel
Published: February 2021

Quando do julgamento do Recurso Extraordinário de nº. 654.833, o Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF, fixou o reconhecimento, por maioria dos votos, em sede de repercussão geral, na Repercussão Geral de nº. 999, a tese de imprescritibilidade da pretensão pela reparação civil de danos ambientais, e permitiu, por via de consequência, a aplicação de uma teoria de responsabilização civil ambiental diferenciada daqueles que, tradicionalmente, são defendidas pelos tribunais superiores – teoria do risco integral e a teoria do risco criado. Trata-se da teoria do risco agravado, que considera a natureza difusa dos bens ambientais, as peculiaridades de seus danos e, principalmente, o viés constitucional de sua imprescritibilidade, como forma de alcance ao direito fundamental ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Para tanto, por intermédio de uma metodologia lógico-dedutiva, com análise doutrinária e jurisprudencial pátrias, analisar-se-á a responsabilização civil ambiental e suas teorias tradicionais para, em seguida, comentar-se o julgado proferido pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal e como se dará a aplicação da teoria do risco agravado em defesa do direito fundamental ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado, bem como ao próprio Estado Constitucional ambiental brasileiro.
Na dúvida em favor da natureza? Levar a sério a Constituição Ecológica na época do Antropoceno.
Authors: De Araújo Ayala Patryck , Carvalho Victor Coelho Mariana
Published: February 2021

Por meio do método indutivo e de pesquisa bibliográfica, este trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver o conteúdo de um assim denominado princípio in dubio natura, compreendendo-o como parte de uma abordagem ecológica sobre os direitos, que, no Direito brasileiro, considera-se possível a partir de sua localização no contexto de uma assim denominada Constituição Ecológica. Sustenta-se que a fórmula in dubio pro natura encontra-se melhor estruturada no contexto de um arranjo constitucional que já previu ponderações, as quais se encontram em conformidade com o estado atual do conhecimento científico, e que se refletem na proibição de se fazer escolhas para além dos limites planetários. Desse modo, argumenta-se que o in dubio pro natura, encontra-se, antes de tudo, estruturado e bem justificado em um arranjo na qual não se permite que nenhuma decisão ou exercício das liberdades ultrapasse os limites objetivos da existência dos sistemas naturais (artigo 225, caput, § 1º, incisos I e VII, CRFB/88). A proposição tem o seu valor demonstrado em sua conexão com o contexto de transformação ecológica dos direitos, bem representada não apenas na jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça referidos neste trabalho, senão na aderência à contribuição que foi dedicada pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos por meio de sua Opinião Consultiva n. 23/2017. Em uma realidade em que a função do Direito se expande para concretizar dimensões ecológicas de direitos, pode-se justificar uma conclusão no sentido de que também na dúvida (mas não apenas na dúvida) se protege a natureza.
El derecho humano al agua y al saneamiento: the human right to water and sanitation
Authors: Burgos Garrido Belén
Published: February 2021

A pesar de movernos en un contexto de cambio climático y tratarse el agua de un elemento esencial para la supervevivencia de todos los seres vivos siendo el sustrato previo para el desarrollo de otros derechos (como el derecho a la vida, derecho a una alimentación adecuada, derecho a la salud o derecho al trabajo) lo cierto es que el derecho al agua y al saneamiento no se haya reconocido, ni con carácter de mínimos, en diversos textos constitucionales, lo que a nuestro juicio resulta muy paradójico. La finalidad de esta investigación es llamar la atención sobre esta cuestión a la par que poner de manifiesto una tendencia positivista de este derecho que comienza a reconocerse en diversos textos jurídicos, incluso de corte constitucional, y, en definitiva, defender la necesidad de intervención por parte de los poderes públicos en esta materia.

Gentrification is reshaping cities worldwide, resulting in seductive spaces and exclusive communities that aspire to innovation, creativity, sustainability, and technological sophistication. Gentrification is also contributing to growing social-spatial division and urban inequality and precarity. In a time of escalating housing crisis, unaffordable cities, and racial tension, scholars speak of eco-gentrification, techno-gentrification, super-gentrification, and planetary gentrification to describe the different forms and scales of involuntary displacement occurring in vulnerable communities in response to current patterns of development and the hype-driven discourses of the creative city, smart city, millennial city, and sustainable city.

In this context, how do contemporary creative practices in art, architecture, and related fields help to produce or resist gentrification? What does gentrification look and feel like in specific sites and communities around the globe, and how is that appearance or feeling implicated in promoting stylized renewal to a privileged public? In what ways do the aesthetics of gentrification express contested conditions of migration and mobility? Addressing these questions, this book examines the relationship between aesthetics and gentrification in contemporary cities from multiple, comparative, global, and transnational perspectives.
Intermediating the Everyday : Indie Game Development and the Labour of Co-Working Spaces
Authors: Browne Pierson , Schram Brian R.
Published: February 2021

Emblematic of major cultural and economic shifts towards ‘new work,’
indie game development has positioned itself at the forefront of market
innovation by subverting traditional, hierarchical models of workplace
organization. At the centre of these major shifts is the figure of the ‘cultural
intermediary’ – a nebulous, ill-defined role which we, nonetheless,
contend is integral to understanding cultural industries. By focusing
on the mercurial forms of labour performed by founders and directors
of indie co-working spaces, this chapter aims to give shape and dimension
to the role of cultural intermediaries, arguing that their networked
mobility and delamination from traditional ‘sites’ of work necessitates
a rethinking of studio-based study as the standard for examining indie
cultural production.
Construction and Negotiation of Entrepreneurial Subjectivities in the Polish Video Game Industry
Authors: Ozimek Anna M.
Published: February 2021

Using the framework of critical creative labour studies, I discuss Polish
video game workers’ construction and negotiations of ‘entrepreneurial
subjectivities’. Drawing on secondary sources and 44 interviews, I
position Polish video game workers’ perspectives within the economic
and socio-cultural context of a post-socialist country. I argue that
entrepreneurial discourses were developed in relation to the industry’s
socio-historical development, the government’s promotional initiatives,
and on-going precarization of employment in the Polish labour market.
This contribution discusses the tensions between claimed meritocratic
nature of the industry and pervasiveness of informality; between the
requirements of sociality and the exclusionary mechanisms of local
occupational community; between the interviewees’ acknowledgement
of inequalities and the emphasis on individual responsibility
and resilience.
Evaluation and improvement of adherence to medication
Authors: Lee Won Kyung , Lee Joongyub
Published: February 2021

Medication adherence refers to the extent to which a patient takes medication according to prescription. In many cases, adherence to medication is defined as the proportion of prescribed drugs taken as prescribed over a certain period. However, there is no satisfactory level of adherence that can be applied uniformly to all diseases and medications. Patients with poor adherence experience worsening of conditions, complications, and increased risk for death, which increases medical expenses. Therefore, to improve medication adherence, healthcare providers should try to identify poor adherence, adjust prescriptions to optimize treatment according to the patient’s lifestyle, and educate patients to help them understand the value of medical treatment and the effects of adherence. The most practical way to identify poor adherence during clinical visits is by asking patients about their medication adherence in a non-judgmental manner. Reducing the number of doses is more effective than reducing the number of tablets to increase compliance. It is necessary to adopt innovative methods based on information technology in our healthcare system because of the labor-intensive nature of educational intervention to improve adherence.

Sexual Differentiations of Morphological and Postural Status of Lower Grade Primary School Students
Authors: Džibrić Dževad
Published: February 2021

A system of fifteen variables (7 morphological and 8 variables for assessing postural status) was applied to a sample of 284 male and female students from the first to the third grade of primary school, with the aim of determining the differences between boys and girls. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the examined samples in the following morphological variables: in the first class (body weight and skin fold of the triceps), in the second class (body height, body weight, skin fold of the triceps and skin fold of the biceps) and in third grade (body height, skin fold of triceps, skin fold of back, skin fold of biceps, and skin fold of lower leg). Statistically significant differences in the variables for assessing postural status exist in the following variables: in the first grade (head posture, shoulder posture, shoulder posture, chest shape and leg shape), in the second grade (shoulder posture, chest shape, and spinal deviation in frontal plane) and in the third grade (deviation of the spinal column in the frontal plane, holding the anterior abdominal wall and the shape of the legs). Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that in the younger school-age in morphology there is a significant sexual dimorphism and with it in connection with the change of postural status.
