Published: July 2022

We report a case of a 25-year-old female, with a history of gastrojejunal anastomosis 6 years ago for pyloric stenosis due to intentional corrosive ingestion, who was admitted for jaundice related to the common bile duct stones diagnosed at MRI. The patient had undergone Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and upper endoscopy that allowed the diagnosis of afferent loop syndrome related to pyloric stenosis and duodenal stenosis. The afferent loop syndrome was related to hyper pressure in this afferent loop and was managed surgically by performing a jejuno-duodenal anastomosis.

Published: July 2022

Objective:  To compare the outcome of SSPF (Short Segment Posterior Fixation) with and without the inclusion of fractured vertebrae in thoracolumbar fractures in terms of visual analog score and vertebral column stability.

Materials and Methods:  The study enrolled 96 patients who were divided into two groups. Group A treated by SSPF (four screws: one level above and below the fracture), and Group B was treated by PSFFV (six screws: including fractured vertebrae). Assessment of parameters related to clinical and radiological aspects was recorded at 3 – 6 months.

Results:  Mean ages of patients were 36.96 and 37.41 years with an M:F ratio of 1.8:1 and 1.4:1 in groups A (SSPF) and B (PSFFV), respectively. Mean VAS preoperatively, and postoperatively, at 3 and 6 months were 8.78 vs. 9.01, 4.98 vs. 5.01, 2.08 vs. 2.11, and 0.47 vs. 0.67 in groups A and B, respectively. Mean Kyphotic angle preoperatively, postoperatively, at 3 and 6 months were 21.76 vs. 22.91, 11.13 vs. 10.16, 13.59vs. 11.16 and 14.88 vs. 12.87 in groups A and B respectively. Mean AVH preoperatively, and postoperatively, at 3 and 6 months were 19.11 vs. 18.72, 20.01 vs. 22.71, 20.61 vs. 22.87, and 20.02 vs. 22.67 in groups A and B, respectively.

Conclusion:  The results of this study favor PSFFV (Group B) over SSPF (Group A) in terms of vertebral column stability which was better achieved in PSFFV. PSFFV was also found superior with no implant failure which declares it safer and more effective than SSPF. None of the techniques was found superior in terms of pain. Radiologically, PSFFV, showed significant improvement in achieving anterior vertebral height, while there was no important distinction in kyphotic angle between the two.

Published: July 2022

Objective:  The goal of this study was to see how transpedicular fixation for degenerative spondylolisthesis affected lumbago.

Methodology:  A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery in Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar between May 2018 and February 2020. Degenerative spondylolisthesis was diagnosed using static and dynamic spinal X-rays. The research excluded the patients with grade 5 spondylolisthesis, congenital anomalies, or prior spinal surgery. The visual rating scale was used to assess pain alleviation (GRS). Dynamic or static lumbosacral X-rays and 3D CT scans were used to assess union.

Results:  In total 70 patients, 38 (54.3%) were male and 32 (45.7%) were female. L5–S1 was impacted in most of the cases (68%). 40% of patients were having Meyerding grade II. All patients had pedicle screw fixation. Following surgery, 44 (63%) patients reported no pain, and 12 (17%) patients reported mild discomfort. 8 (11%) patients reported moderate pain and 6(9%) patients experienced severe pain. There existed a significant difference between pre/postoperative moderate-severe GRS scores (p-value: 0.000336). After surgery, we were able to negotiate surgical unions with 91.4% of the patients.

Conclusion:  For individuals with spondylolisthesis who need pain relief, transpedicular fixation is a safe, straightforward, and effective treatment. It also aids with the surgical union and the improvement of the neurological condition.

Keywords:  Spondylolisthesis, Meyerding grading, Transpedicular fixation.

olhar contemporâneo para os clubes de ciências
Authors: Lorenzi Filho Luiz Alberto , Do Rosário Lima Valderez Marina
Published: July 2022

O artigo apresenta reflexão sobre as transformações ocorridas nos clubes de ciências frente ao cenário cambiante que identifica os tempos atuais. Caracterizado como espaço não formal de aprendizagem, mas fortemente vinculado a instituições escolares, os clubes de ciências mantêm diálogo com premissas que regem o mundo contemporâneo, embora sem perder sua essência de receber crianças e jovens interessados em construir conhecimentos nas áreas de ciências físicas e da natureza. O argumento central sobre o qual as ideias são desenvolvidas nesse texto é: na contemporaneidade, os clubes de ciências mostram-se permeáveis aos condicionantes culturais e sociais, embora preservando seus princípios basilares, como o diálogo, o trabalho cooperativo, a pesquisa e a aproximação com o cotidiano. Em outras palavras, os clubes de ciências abriram-se para outras possibilidades de aprendizagem, conforme é discutido ao longo do texto.

Published: July 2022

The aim: To explore the morphological changes of palatine tonsil at the levels of the epithelial layer and connective tissue; to determine the relative area of the connective tissue component in the tonsillar tissue (fibrosis) in patients with recurrent tonsillitis compared to the control.
Materials and methods: This study presents a morphological assessment of the palatine tonsils of 10 people. Tonsils’ material with surrounding tissue was fixed in 10% formalin solution. The samples were dehydrated in increasing ethanol concentrations, cleared in xylol, impregnated with paraffin. Microscopy was then performed with samples stained beforehand.
Results: In the samples of patients with recurrent tonsillitis pericapsular sclerosis was noted, along with thickening of interlobular septa and pronounced subepithelial fibrosis. A ratio of the dense connective tissue surface area to the total surface area of tonsil tissue was determined. The control group showed a statistically significant decrease in the degree of sclerosis of the tonsil stroma.
Conclusions: Multiple changes were found in the tonsils of patients with recurrent tonsillitis at the level of the epithelial layer that manifested in structural alterations. Significant and irreversible changes were also observed in the connective stroma of the tonsil - pericapsular sclerosis, thickening of interlobular septa, and pronounced subepithelial fibrosis. A statistically significant increase in the relative surface area of the connective tissue component of the tonsil (fibrosis) by a factor of 1,26 was noted in patients with recurrent tonsillitis compared to the results of the control group of patients.

The aim: To study the features of morphoethiopathogenesis of acute appendicitis and the consequences after appendectomy.
Materials and methods: 10 preparations of human appendix were studied, from which 5 appendixes were normal in people who died in adulthood and old age and 5 processes were taken intraoperatively during appendectomy. Morphometric characteristics of the tissue structures of the preparations were compared with the systematic review data, the literature search by the following keywords: morphoethiopathy”, “vermiform process”, “lymphoepithelial formations”, “digestive system”, “lymphoid nodule”, “Peyer’s patches”, “mucous membrane”.
Results: Pathogenesis of acute appendicitis – it is a consistent, staged process that is completely subject to the laws of exudative inflammation in response to microbial aggression. Removal of the appendicular process should be approached carefully and based on possible immunological consequences. Removal of the appendix as an immunocompetent organ
Unreasonable removal of pathohistological unchanged appendix has medical consequences (can lead to consequences such as colon cancer) and not only.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the vermiform appendix retains its active function throughout human life. The study provides an overview with current knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis and possible consequences of appendectomy as the main method of treatment of acute appendicitis. The search for ways to prevent appendicitis can be successful only by finding out the causes and factors that in some individuals cause the inability of the appendix to resist bacterial invasion. Appendix is necessary to fully support the immune responses of the digestive tract, but it belongs to the category of those organs, the loss of which during forced surgery does not cause significant damage to the body.

The aim: The aim of the paper was the experimental study of the morphological features of albino rat hepatocytes after the consumption of the complex of food additives (monosodium glutamate, sodium nitrite, Ponceau 4R) supplemented into the ration and consumed for four weeks.
Materials and methods: The study was performed on 30 outbred albino rats of both genders, weighing 204±0.67 g. The ration of the experimental animals, supplemented with a combination of food additives, namely, monosodium glutamate, Ponceau 4R, sodium nitrate, was consumed for 1 and 4 weeks. The study of the structure of hepathocytes was carried out on traditional histological preparations and preparations stained with Best’s carmine.
Results: Supplementation of ration with the complex of food additives for one week showed the phenomena of fatty degeneration that dominated in hepatocytes, and in a longer consumption of food additives in the ration (for four weeks), the number of liver cells with the phenomena of hydropic degeneration significantly increased, while individual hepatocytes had signs of irreversible destructive changes.
Conclusions: Consumption of the complex of food additives supplemented into the standard ration of laboratory animals for 4 weeks leads to a significant change in the dimensions of the liver cells, a decrease in their glycogen content, and a progressive increase in the number of hepatocytes with alterations.

Published: July 2022

This paper aims to identify the role of social media in the digital transformation of the Omani society, as social media represents an essential source of information that many rely on to create and disseminate knowledge and digital transformation. The study focuses on Sultan Qaboos University students, who are consumers and producers through social networks. The study attempts to identify the contribution of the study sample to these sites and the quality of information shared through those networks. The study also sought to identify the possibility of relying on Arabic information available in those networks and employing it as a source of information. The purpose of this study is to identify the information practices of the study sample on social networks, which may affect Arabic digital content on the Internet. The result of this study shows that the social networks are a rich source of information and have a significant role in enriching the Arab digital transformation. However, despite being a source of digital content, many users treat their content with caution due to doubts regarding the credibility of the information. The study also finds that social networks can be exploited in disseminating digital Arabic knowledge content on the Internet through codified practices through which the information can be verified.

Məlumdur ki, birləşmələr çox aşındırıcı ola bilir və qazma borusu borularının gövdələrini tez və ciddi şəkildə aşındırmaya məruz qoya bilir. Qazma borularına birbaşa sərt bant tətbiq etmək üçün xüsusi aşağı istiliklə daxil olbilen qaynaq prosesini tətbiq etməklə nümayiş olunur.
Xüsusi qaynaq prosesindən istifadə etməklə, qazma borusu gövdələrinə artıq daha sərt bantlama təhlükəsiz şəkildə tətbiq edildi. Bu, aşındırıcı təbəqə ilə borular üçün yeni, qaldırılmış təmas sahələri yaratdı. Bu sərt bantdan ibarət iki aşınma lenti boru gövdəsi üçün aşınma yastığı yaradır, onun ümumi aşınmaya olan davamlılığını 15 dəfəyə qədər və korpusa uyğunluğunu 3 dəfəyə qədər yaxşılaşdırır. Tətbiqin özü qabaqcıl sərtlik xəritəsi, dartılma sınağı və dağıdıcı olmayan yoxlama metodları daxil olmaqla metallurgiya sınaqları vasitəsilə təsdiq edilmişdir. Bu sınaqdan sonra, aşınma yastıqlarının effektivliyini bilmək üçün nümunə araşdırmaları təmin edən çoxsaylı sahə sınaqları aparılmışdır.
Üç ayrı neft və qaz kəşfiyyatı və hasilatı (E&P) şirkəti ABŞ-da müxtəlif növ birləşmələrdə qazma borusunun boru gövdəsinin aşınması ilə bağlı problemlər yaşayırdı. Bunu həll etmək üçün xüsusi aşağı istilik daxilolma qaynaq prosesindən istifadə edərək hər bir E&P şirkəti üçün qazma borusunun nümunə dəstinə aşınma yastıqları tətbiq edilmişdir. Aşınma yastıqlarının boruyu planlaşdırıldığı kimi qoruyub saxlamadığını müəyyən etmək üçün qazma fəaliyyətlərindən əvvəl və sonra qazma borusundan ölçmələr aparılmışdır. Bundan əlavə, hər hansı bir çatın olub olmadığını müəyyən etmək üçün, aşınma yastıqları üzərində dağıdıcı olmayan sınaqlar aparılmışdır. Hər üç nümunə üçün aşınma yastıqları qazma borusunun boru gövdələrini effektiv şəkildə qoruyur və onların aşınmasının qarşısını alır. Artıq bu sübut etdi ki, köhnəlmə yastıqları boruyu quyuda aşındırıcı şəraitdən qorumaq üçün sərfəli həll yoludur.

Spanish national guidelines recommend the cCMV screening in these newborns. Nowadays, pregnant women have a better control of HIV infection compared to previous decades. We aim to analyze the prevalence and associated risk factors to cCMV in these children. Patients and methods. A retrospective cross-sectorial study was performed. All newborns exposed to HIV were assisted in a third-level hospital (2014-2020). Epidemiological and clinical data of the mother and newborn were recorded. Shell vial urine culture and/or CRP were performed along the two first weeks of life for the neonatal screening of cCMV. Results. Overall 69 newborns were enrolled. A high proportion (82.4%) of the mothers had been diagnosed with HIV before getting pregnant. All women received ART during the pregnancy. Median T-CD4 lymphocytes before delivery was 641/mm3 (IQR: 480-865) and the viral load was undetectable in 83.6%. Serological test for CMV along the first trimester of pregnancy was performed in 73.5% (positive IgG in 96%). There were no congenital cases of HIV neither cCMV (CI 95%:0-5.3%). Conclusions. The cCMV prevalence in newborns exposed to HIV was 0%, lower than reported before, probably related to a better and earlier ART during pregnancy, leading to a better immunological status.

Published: July 2022

Tourism is an important socioeconomic sector for many countries worldwide. The perishable nature of this industry requires highly accurate forecasts to support decision-makers with their strategies and planning. This study explores the relationship between time series data characteristics
and the forecasting performance of the cutting edge Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, along with benchmark methods. Such analyses are important to provide practical recommendations based on empirical evidence to support the development of more accurate forecasts. We analyze the
case of inbound tourism in Australia from several country sources, including developed and developing economies from five continents. Findings from this study reveal that the LSTM deep learning approach achieves superior performance in most cases. However, we find that data characteristics,
mainly unit root and structural breaks, are related to poor performance of LSTM forecasting model and, in such cases, the deep learning method is not recommended. The results reveal insights that can lead to a forecasting error reduction of around 40% in some cases. Further, more accurate
results are found using univariate time series compared to models that employ regressor variables.
A longitudinal investigation of the effects of parental discipline strategies on social competence in early childhood
Authors: Harris Karleah , Harris Charlene , Dunkley Lisa
Published: July 2022

In the current study, we investigated the associations between parenting discipline strategies (i.e., physical punishment and non-violent punishment) and social development using n = 3265 reports from primary caregivers across three waves of data. Analyses were conducted using cross-lagged structural equation modeling, where we evaluated the developmental effects of physical punishment and non-violent punishment on social competence. The findings showed partial support for developmental changes between non-violent punishment and social competence unfold reciprocally and longitudinally; the relationship between physical punishment and social competence appeared unrelated, as physical punishment in Wave 2 only negatively predicted social competence in Wave 3. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the developmental pathways for parenting discipline strategies and social skill development among children living in urban neighborhoods.
Allowing for segregation in ECEC? Legal conditions, administrative structures and enrolment practice in Germany
Authors: Nebe Gesine
Published: July 2022

Supposedly children are to learn together in surroundings mirroring the overall democratic and diverse make-up of society. Segregation in ECEC is undesirable. However, substantial segregation exists - even in systems designed for universal, high-quality ECEC provision. While some research has already carved out the role of parents´ choice of institutions, little is known about how children are selected by institutions. This article attempts to shed light on institutional choice as a variable for segregation. Including a detailed picture of the German ECEC system and pointing out administrative relations between municipalities and providers in Germany, this article will depict enrolment. It will draw an empirically based ‘tryptich’, focusing on municipalities´, provider organisation managers` and ECEC centre managers` views on enrolment. Findings will lead to a call for providers and municipalities to join efforts in order to design and implement enrolment procedures that prevent segregation.

El sobrepeso y la obesidad se deben a la acumulación excesiva de grasa en el cuerpo; el sobrepeso se presenta cuando las calorías ingeridas rebasan a las calorías que consumen. En los adolescentes es importante la evaluación del sobrepeso. En la investigación realizada al grupo de adolescentes, el 65,5% de su alimentación se basa en comida chatarra y bebidas endulzantes, adicional un 46,9% realiza solamente 30 minutos de ejercicio siendo así, un valor alto en la falta de actividad física. Casi todos los factores asociados a la obesidad a la adolescencia están relacionados con el estilo de vida. Por eso recomendable una buena educación temprana con respecto a los hábitos alimenticios, dietas balanceadas que se encarguen de ofrecerles las vitaminas y minerales necesarias para el cuerpo. La enseñanza de realizar alguna actividad física o la práctica de algún deporte que lo ayude a mantenerse sano y en buena forma, también la idealización y costumbre desde temprana edad para que en el futuro sea un hábito el deporte.
The Influence of the Low Variety in Advertisements: The Saudi Context
Authors: Alasiri Yasir
Published: July 2022

This study aims to investigate the psychological impact of the Saudi low variety (henceforth, it will be referred to as “SLV”) in enticing prospective customers to their commercial products or services. It proceeds from a premise that the marketing messages employed by business providers massively influences our opinions about a product or a business establishment. In order to validate such a view, 80 native speakers of SLV, representing 2 groups of simple (regular consumers) and stratified (advertisers) samplings, participated in the study. Each group consisted of 40 subjects. They were requested to fill out a questionnaire that included two questions; each question included 10 options, representing high (Modern Standard Arabic) and SLV. The findings from the data analysis reveal that the marketing message code conveyed in SLV influences customers’ and business providers’ selling and purchasing inclinations and preferences.

Feminist Translation Activism: Reframing the Narratives of Gender Equality in Turkey through Citationality
Authors: AKÇASOY Güliz , IŞIKLAR KOÇAK Müge
Published: July 2022

The feminist movement that flourished in the 1980s in Turkey was widely influenced by the Western second-wave feminism of the 1960s and 1970s. As a matter of this influence, translations/translators played an essential role in importing feminist epistemes mostly from the Western context into Turkish. Women’s Circle’s translations and the translated articles that were published in periodicals such as Yazko Somut the 4th Page catalyzed the dissemination of feminist ideas that would enable the transformation of hegemonic notions of women’s rights, gender roles and gender equality that were prevalent in the society at the time. However, aside from full-text translations, feminist activists often opted for more implicit ways of cross-cultural exchanges by making citations from foreign sources in the indigenous texts that they wrote for a local readership in Turkey. This study aims to problematize the translated citations embedded in indigenous feminist texts published in the 1980s from Mona Baker’s socio-narrative perspective (2006a), disclosing that feminist activists contested and reframed the hegemonic narratives on women and gender roles in Turkey by bringing in subversive counter-narratives, elaborated by prominent feminists, through these translated citations in a much more covert yet no less effective way than full-text translations. In this regard we examine Fatmagül Berktay’s article “Eşitliğin Ötesine…” (1985) that was published in the heyday of the new feminism in Turkey, contesting the long-established notion of gender equality through the translated citations it makes use of. Regarding citations as a mode of “translation activism” (Baker, 2006b; Tymoczko, 2010), we argue that these citational chains are shaped by and shape in turn the feminist positionality of the translator/writer to the past narratives and the newly emerging feminist narratives in Turkey.
The Translation of Nonhuman Animals into Commercial Products: A Postcolonial Critique of Dairy Commercials
Authors: ERGİN ZENGİN Sezen
Published: July 2022

The aim of this paper is to explore how milk is translated into a product for human consumption. In this study, translation works as a metaphor that is used for carving up an alternative reality. The metaphor of translation is informed by postcolonial translation studies, in particular the view in which translation is seen as “a channel of colonization”. For this purpose, three diary commercials are selected and a form of multimodal thematic analysis with a critical framework has been employed in order to discover the themes used in milk commercials. These themes are interpreted taking into account how translation is conceptualized by postcolonial approaches. The analysis demonstrates that colonial subjects and animals have many commonalities. Translation functioned for the colonizer as a force to assist in the silencing of the Other, to remove agency, to distort representations, to fabricate volunteer victims, to create familiar subjects, and to impose Western reason-based thought. Similarly, dairy commercials ‘translate’ cows so that they are silenced, their agencies are either removed or used in favor of the industry, the real lives of cows are obscured and their experiences are distorted, they are portrayed as being happily exploited, and they are reduced to subordinate creatures in relation to Western white, male subjects. Translation, in this study, demonstrates the power it yields in dominating others. Yet, translation can also bridge gaps, and foster nonexploitative relationships between humans and nonhuman animals.
