Authors: Briasouli Alexandra
Published: December 2021

This article is a bibliographic review and focuses on a brief introduction to Cloud Computing as an innovative educational tool. Cloud technology is rapidly spreading in educational institutions, sometimes replacing the in-house infrastructure with cloud services. Education plays an important role in a country’s economy and today, the educational model in many countries has evolved with technology. Schools and universities in the world extensively use cloud Based Technology. Digital teaching – E-Learning and cloud-based technology are the latest models that have been widely adopted in the educational field. The identified trends in the use of cloud computing in education are clear, ranging from the design of cloud-oriented learning environments for future information technology specialists to the training of information technology specialists to enable them to obtain competencies in the use of cloud technologies. Cloud computing is a distributed computing paradigm, where, instead of acquiring information technology products, users access shared resources under various service models through a network, usually the Internet. The application of cloud computing is very broad and growing daily because of many advantages to the users, and is driven by the increasing use of various mobile devices (laptops, tablets and smartphones) and mobile Internet access being more available. The perspectives of its integration in the learning process are highlighted, as well as the factors that make its implementation difficult. Finally, some general conclusions presented on how technologies should be adopted to meet the educational needs of this new global challenge and some suggestions are made for more effective training through the Cloud Computing, as the need for further research emerges

Published: December 2021

Corundum is rarely found in situ within alkali syenites. A corundum-bearing syenite was found in the Yushishan rare metal deposits of the eastern section of the Altyn Tagh fault in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, but the characteristics and formation of corundum remain unknown. We describe a corundum-bearing syenite dike emplaced in biotite plagioclase gneiss that suffered overprinted deformation with characteristics of mylonitization. The corundum crystals have variable grain sizes, and the largest ones are megacrystic with growth zoning. The corundum crystals contain a variety of mineral inclusions that are divided into primary and secondary. The primary mineral inclusions within the corundum include variable contents of Fe-Ti oxide needles, ilmenite, zircon, monazite-(Ce), potassium feldspar, pyrochlore, columbite-(Fe), magnetite, samarskite-(Y), and pyrite that indicate corundum crystallized in peraluminous Zr-rich and Si-poor alkali rock with variable TiO2 contents. Secondary mineral inclusions include Zn-rich hercynite, ilmenite, magnetite, annite, fluorapatite, and intergrowths of ilmenite with columbite-(Fe) and goethite that reveal late-stage influx of Zn-, Ti-, Fe-, and F-bearing fluids into corundum that caused metasomatism and element migration and mineral precipitation. The trace element analysis of corundum shows high-Fe and -Ga contents and low-Mg and -Cr contents that are consistent with the characteristics of corundum of magmatic origin. The trace element characteristics and the oxygen isotopes (6.2–8.2‰) results indicate that corundum crystallized in melts with the involvement of Al-rich and Si-poor crustal material.

Authors: Moghaddam Ali , Chernyavsky Dmitry , Morice Corentin , van Wezel Jasper , van den Brink Jeroen
Published: December 2021

We investigate the spectral properties of one-dimensional lattices
with position-dependent hopping amplitudes and on-site potentials that
are smooth bounded functions of the position. We find an exact integral
form for the density of states (DOS) in the limit of an infinite number
of sites, which we derive using a mixed Bloch-Wannier basis consisting
of piecewise Wannier functions. Next, we provide an exact solution for
the inverse problem of constructing the position-dependence of hopping
in a lattice model yielding a given DOS. We confirm analytic results by
comparing them to numerics obtained by exact diagonalization for various
incarnations of position-dependent hoppings and on-site potentials.
Finally, we generalize the DOS integral form to multi-orbital
tight-binding models with longer-range hoppings and in higher
dimensions.
Contours of National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Černič Jernej Letnar
Published: December 2021

Central and Eastern Europe has been often overseen in the debates on business and humanrights. Countries in the regions share a common history, experience and culture. Human rights andfundamental freedoms were in the past systematically and generally violated. Since democratisation,countries have suffered from a wide range of related human rights abuses. Corporations in theregions have often directly and indirectly interfered with the human rights of employees and thewider communities. Business and human rights has in the past lagged behind global developmentsalso in the light of the lack of capacity and general deficient human rights situation. This articledescribes and discusses contours of the National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights of theCzech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Georgia, Ukraine and Slovenia by examining their strengths anddeficiencies. It argues that the field of business and human rights in Central and Eastern Europe hasmade a step forward in the last decade since the adoption of the United Nations Guiding Principleson Business and Human Rights. Nonetheless, human rights should be further translated into practiceto effectively protect human dignity of rights-holders.
The Rights of Workers, Migrant Workers and Trade Unions in the Light of the European Convention on Human Rights
Authors: Albuquerque Paulo Pinto de
Published: December 2021

The European Court of Human Rights (the Court, the ECHR) has made a significantcontribution to the protection of social rights in general and labor rights in particular. The articlefocuses on four specific areas that demonstrate the richness of case-law in this area. First of all, theauthor focuses on individual issues related to the general rights of workers, drawing attention to issuesof unfair dismissal, the right to respect for private and family life, freedom of religion and freedomof expression. Secondly, the author dwells on the protection of the rights of migrant workers underthe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Third, the articleexamines trade union rights in the light of freedom of association. Finally, reflecting the economiclandscape of the past decade, case-law is provided to demonstrate how austerity measures can affecthuman rights and how the Court has responded to this problematic issue.Social rights, including labor rights, have received many advantages from the fact that they wereconsidered in the case-law of the Court, since its practice clarified the boundaries and limited thestate’s unlimited discretion in the management of these rights. At the same time, a certain trend hasformed. If at first the protection of workers’ rights and freedoms sharply increased, which is confirmedby some textbook cases of the ECHR, now it is impossible not to notice a regressive trend that isassociated with labor legislation, expands the discretion of governments and significantly limits theeffectiveness of the Court when considering labor rights. However, this regressive trend should notbe regarded as irreversible. The article highlights how meaningful consideration of soft law principlesallows the Court to take a progressive position that promotes labor rights and how it can continueto help protect workers’ rights.
Principles of Positivist Jurisprudence in the Teachings of Warsaw Lawyers of the First Third of the XIX Century
Authors: Kresin Oleksiy
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the extremely rich and insufficiently studied heritage of Polish legal thought. The political and geographical determinants of the chosen research topic are the restoration of statehood in central Polish lands in 1807 (Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland) and the defeat of the November Uprising (1830-1831) followed by measures taken by the Russian authorities to limit the autonomy of the Kingdom of Poland. The intellectual milestones are the founding of the School of Law in 1807 (later the Faculty of Law of the University of Warsaw), and the closure of the University of Warsaw in 1831, as well as the significant emigration of scientists in the same year and the liquidation of the Society of Friends of Science in 1832. The intellectual milestones are also European (and first of all Central European) processes of legal thought evolution in the second half of the XVIII – first third of the XIX century, which led to the formation of the first and still insufficiently understood and studied positivism in jurisprudence, being a profound phenomenon that reveals the essence of positivism in legal thought in general.

The study found that the basic principle of jurisprudence in the vision of most Warsaw scholars during the study period was its independence from a priori and metaphysical philosophizing, and vice versa, the formation of its own philosophical and legal discourse (philosophy of positive law) based on generalization and understanding of research results. It was recognized that legal science should be a fundamentally new system of legal knowledge – positivist and social. Recognizing the historical and modern pluralism of such an organization of knowledge, Warsaw scholars have unequivocally identified themselves with the Central European jurisprudence, the core of which is the German. Warsaw scholars believed that jurisprudence was based on historical, dogmatic and philosophical approaches. Accordingly, they considered three relatively separate areas of scientific knowledge, which together can be considered as a single legal science or a system of interrelated legal sciences. Depending on the emphasis in the views of scholars on the fundamental or applied side of legal science, this system was seen differently, as well as the subject of jurisprudence – universal or more national. It can be argued that this to some extent correlated with the predominance in the views of certain scholars of the principles of historical-philosophical or historical schools.
Aharon Barak’s Concept of Human Dignity and the Notion of Dignity in Jurisprudence of Polish Constitutional Court
Authors: Szymaniec Piotr
Published: December 2021

Israeli scholar and judge, Aharon Barak rejects the position that dignity is an axiomatic, universal concept. Moreover, he is in favor of “spacious” understanding of the right to dignity, making it a vast and broad category. The aim of the paper is to examine whether the concept of dignity presented by Barak is useful to understand the approach to human dignity as a legal concept in those Central European legal systems which have been influenced by German constitutional theory. In that regard the jurisprudence of Polish Constitutional Court is examined. The author is not fully convinced by Barak’s approach to dignity.  The conclusion is drawn, however, that Barak is right when claiming that the status of an absolute right granted to the right to dignity means also that its scope is defined in a restrictive way.
Estudio del edificio romano junto al lavajo El Monduengo. Nuevos datos del complejo de la villa romana de Almenara de Adaja-Puras, Valladolid
Authors: García Sánchez Jesús , Sánchez-Simón Margarita
Published: December 2021

Las fotografías aéreas realizadas por Julio del Olmo en 1999 nos han permitido conocer de primera mano la existencia de un edificio de probable cronología romana junto al lavajo El Monduengo (Puras, Valladolid). Esta zona se localiza inmediatamente al sur de la villa romana de La Calzadilla, también conocida como villa romana de Almenara de Adaja-Puras, que se encuentra al sur de la provincia de Valladolid. Se ubica en una zona muy cercana a Coca (Segovia), la Cauca prerromana y romana cuya influencia seguramente se hizo sentir en el ritmo de colonización del campo de época romana altoimperial. En este trabajo proponemos la revisión de una de esas imágenes aéreas oblicuas tomadas por Julio del Olmo ya que, a pesar de su perspectiva, consta de gran calidad y además es la única que hasta 2020 nos mostraba los restos soterrados de este edificio. Además, hemos explorado las posibilidades para la teledetección que nos brinda la amplia serie de ortofotografías disponibles para la zona, incluyendo series históricas como USAF Serie B y el Vuelo Interministerial. Para la realización de este estudio, hemos empleado los fotogramas infrarrojos junto a la tradicional ortofotografía PNOA tomada en el espectro visible RGB, para calcular una serie de índices de vegetación y suelo que usan principalmente las bandas Roja e Infrarroja. Este trabajo de teledetección se ha realizado únicamente con imágenes públicas y software open-source (QGIS, R Project, SNAP). El estudio de la documentación gráfica nos ha llevado a plantear una prospección geofísica mediante georradar (Noggin 250 MhZ) para obtener una imagen actual y precisa que nos permita conocer la extensión y morfología de dicho edificio. Los datos obtenidos nos permiten comprender la evolución del yacimiento de Almenara de Adaja-Puras a lo largo de la época romana tardía con posterioridad al siglo III d.C. Además, comparamos esta estructura con algunas otras similares conocidas tanto en el propio yacimiento de La Calzadilla, como en otros del valle del Duero.
Hydrochemical characteristics, hydraulic connectivity and water quality assessment of multilayer aquifers in Western Suzhou City, Northern Anhui Province, China
Authors: Ma Jie , Chen Song , Feng Songbao , Ding Diandian
Published: December 2021

The present study focuses on the shallow phreatic aquifer (SA) and the upper confined aquifer (CA) developed in Cenozoic loose strata, which are the major regional groundwater resources for drinking, irrigation, industry and other water-related activities. Seven samples from SA and seventeen samples from CA were analyzed to depict the hydrochemical characteristics, categorize the hydrochemical facies, evaluate the hydraulic connectivity, and appraise the drinking water and irrigation water quality. The abundance of cations is Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+ and the anions is HCO3− > SO42− > Cl− in both aquifers, respectively. Groundwater chemistry is controlled by water-rock interactions such as halite dissolution, ion exchange, reverse ion exchange, silicate weathering, and followed by the dissolution of Glauber's salt. The low connectivity and moderate connectivity between these two aquifers has engendered. The majority of the ion concentrations are within the limit for drinking, only one sample from the shallow aquifer was greater than the limit of 250 mg/L, a total of 29% from the shallow unconfined aquifer and 14% from the confined aquifer are not within the limit of 250 mg/L. The sodium absorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC) and soluble sodium percentage (%Na) values reveal that all the samples are appropriate for irrigation uses. The the US salinity laboratory (USSL) diagram shows that sixteen CA samples and all the SA samples fall in the C3S1 zone, implying high salinity hazard and low alkalinity hazard.
Właściwe zastosowanie „procesu biskupiego” w orzeczeniu nieważności małżeństwa
Authors: Rozkrut Tomasz
Published: December 2021

Minęło już kilka lat od nowelizacji przez papieża Franciszka w roku 2015 sposobu orzekania nieważności małżeństwa przez sądy Kościoła. Miniony czas, w szczególności nabyte w nim doświadczenia, zachęcają do postawienia pytania dotyczącego poprawności stosowania wprowadzonej, niewątpliwie odważnej, nowelizacji w prawie procesowym W szczególności pytanie to winno dotyczyć „procesu skróconego”, który ze względu na swoją specyfikę może być też określany jako „proces biskupi”. Ważnym motywem do podjęcia tematu dotyczącego poprawnego zastosowania procesu skróconego przed biskupem jest artykuł, a który opublikował G. P. Montini, który dotyczy niezgodnego z prawem zastosowania processus brevior (G.P. Montini, L’uso illegittimo del processus brevior. Rimedi processuali ordinari e straordinari, Periodica 108 (2019), s. 35-72). Reforma papieża Franciszka jasno ustaliła, że rekwizyt oczywistej nieważności małżeństwa jest konieczny nie tylko na początku procesu, ale musi być obecny w całym postępowaniu dowodowym, które ma doprowadzić do wyroku pozytywnego, aby nie można było postawić zarzutu, że processus brevior został nielegalnie przeprowadzony. Wybrane elementy wyłowione z praktyki sądowej, podpowiadają, aby syntetycznie przypomnieć to, co jest najbardziej istotne dla analizowanego sposobu orzekania nieważności małżeństwa przez autorytet Kościoła. Została zatem wyodrębniona następująco problematyka: wybrane założenia reformy procesowej papieża Franciszka z 2015 roku, procesowe zadania oraz obowiązki biskupa diecezjalnego, wybrane praktyczne uwagi do „procesu biskupiego”, oraz dynamiczny aspekt „procesu biskupiego”. Poprawne zastosowanie „procesu biskupiego” w orzeczeniu nieważności małżeństwa winno przyczynić się nie tylko dla rozwiązania konkretnych problemów sumienia, co niewątpliwie jest jego ważnym celem, ale także może posłużyć ukazaniu Kościoła jako sprawnej instytucji, a tym samym może przyczynić się do podniesienia jego prestiżu oraz autorytetu w dzisiejszym czasie. Niewątpliwie w tej perspektywie należy postrzegać zasygnalizowane nieprawidłowości, które pojawiły się w partykularnych interpretacjach, niezgodnych z duchem oraz literą reformy procesowej papieża Franciszka. Ważną rzeczą jest, aby powstałe błędy umiejętnie korygować i naprawiać, tym bardziej, że mamy do czynienia z procesem kościelnym, w którym centralną postacią jest biskup. Ważnym zagadnieniem, na który zwraca uwagę praktyczny pontyfikat papieża Franciszka, jest niewątpliwie osobista odpowiedzialność za podejmowane decyzje w Kościele, która w szczególności dotyczy jego autorytetów. Bowiem, także w Kościele osoby popełniają błędy, za które ponoszą odpowiedzialność i winny za nie odpowiadać; ich precyzyjne określenie i sukcesywne naprawienie sprawi, że Kościół będzie instytucją wiarygodną we współczesnym świecie. Ponadto, w ten sposób będzie także kształtował sumienia wiernych oraz należycie wypełniał otrzymaną misję.
Relationship Between Gender and Clinician’s Subjective Experience during the Interaction with Psychiatric Patients
Authors: Dazzi Federico , Fonzi Laura , Pallagrosi Mauro , Duro Marina , Biondi Massimo , Picardi Angelo
Published: December 2021

Introduction:

The clinician’s subjective experience can be a valuable element for diagnosis and treatment. A few factors have been recognized that affect it, such as the patient’s personality, the severity of psychopathology, and diagnosis. Other factors, such as patient’s and clinician’s gender, have not been specifically investigated. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of gender differences on the clinician’s subjective experience in a large sample of psychiatric patients.

Methods:

The study involved 61 psychiatrists and 960 patients attending several inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. The clinicians completed the Assessment of Clinician's Subjective Experience (ACSE) questionnaire after observing each patient for the first time.

Results:

In multivariate analysis, higher scores on the Difficulty in Attunement (p < 0.001), Engagement (p<0.05), and Impotence (p<0.01) scales were significantly associated with female clinician gender, whereas higher scores on the Tension and Disconfirmation scales were significantly associated with male clinician gender. The scores on all ACSE dimensions were also associated with the severity of psychopathology.

Conclusion:

The findings suggest that clinician’s gender might affect a clinician’s emotional response toward patients. Specific attention to this issue might be useful in clinical situations, not only in terms of promoting gender-balanced teams but also in terms of enhancing self-observation in clinicians evaluating patients for the first time.

Published: December 2021

Background and Objective:

Web-based screening of depressive symptoms in general non-clinical population can provide better insights into actual prevalence of depressive symptoms and associated risk factors. To study the current prevalence of depressive symptoms in Russian non-clinical population we conducted screening using an online survey based on Depression subscale of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D).

Methods:

The online survey covered 2610 Russian-speaking respondents and included HADS-D, questions about sex, age and presence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) diagnoses or symptoms in respondents.

Results:

The proportion of respondents with depressive symptoms, estimated by online HADS-D, was 14.4% (11.5% - at subclinical level, 2.9% - at clinical level). The overall HADS-D score was higher in women (p=0.003), in young individuals under 30 y.o vs. participants over 42 y.o. (p=0.004) and in individuals with self-reported CVD symptoms (p=0.00002). Linear regression analysis showed that self-reported CVD symptoms increase HADS-D score (p<0.001), but male sex (p=0.002) and older age (p<0.001) decrease it. Logistic regression showed that CVD symptoms increase the risk of depressive symptoms by HADS-D (p=0.033, OR=1.29), but older age (p=0.015, OR=0.87) and male sex (as a trend, p=0.052, OR=0.80) decrease this risk.

Conclusion:

Online survey based on HADS-D showed new patterns of depressive symptoms prevalence in Russian non-clinical population. Depressive symptoms prevalence did not differ between men and women and was higher among young people. The reported association between depressive symptoms and CVD was confirmed.

Authors: Yamada Ryusuke , Okayama Miki , Takeda Shigehiro , Shimo Tsuyoshi , Iijima Masahiro
Published: December 2021

Background:

Cases of facial asymmetry with chin deviation and canted occlusal plane represent a challenge in orthodontic treatment.

Case Report:

We report successful surgical orthodontic treatment for skeletal Class I with severe facial asymmetry. Miniscrew anchorage was used to decompensate the canted occlusal plane in presurgical orthodontic treatment with a fixed appliance by the intrusion of the maxillary right molars and extrusion of the left molars. Then, orthognathic surgery consisting of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for asymmetric mandibular setback was performed. Treatment resulted in marked improvement of facial asymmetry.

Conclusion:

The use of miniscrew implant anchorage may represent a superior presurgical orthodontic treatment and expand the possibility of treatment by one-jaw surgery.

Authors: Al Kuwaiti Ahmed
Published: December 2021

Background:

In Saudi Arabia, dental students' program evaluation is highly focused on improving dental education quality, so that an effective workforce could be developed for the nation.

Objective:

This study aims to assess the students' perception of the quality of dental program offered at Saudi dental schools.

Methods:

All final year students of the selected Saudi dental schools (N=4) were included as the population of this study. The students were administered a questionnaire named “Dental Program Evaluation Survey.” The survey consisted of four dimensions, with 31 Likert scale items and one global item studying the dental students' satisfaction towards the programs offered at Saudi dental schools. The responses obtained using the survey were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS 20.0.

Results:

The results demonstrated that the dimensions, such as faculty characteristics, institutional characteristics, the efficacy of the program, and program changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were perceived as “High Quality.” The cumulative percentage of most of the items was graded as “Acceptable.” Overall, 89.2% of students were satisfied with the quality of the programs offered in their dental schools. A significant difference was found in students' perception of the dimensions and overall satisfaction with respect to their gender and dental schools.

Conclusion:

Overall, the students were highly satisfied with the quality of the dental program offered in Saudi Arabia. This study would help policymakers in developing appropriate strategies that can enhance and sustain the quality of dental program offered at Saudi dental schools.
Dimensional Stability of Elastomeric Impression Material After Disinfection Via Immersion and Microwave Irradiation
Authors: R. Mohd Noorhayati , Omar Ros A. , Etajuri Enas A.
Published: December 2021

Aims:

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the dimensional stability of two elastomeric impression materials, namely polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) and vinyl siloxanether (VSE), subjected to chemical immersion and microwave irradiation for disinfection.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty discs of PVS and VSE impression materials each were prepared using a stainless-steel test die and ring in accordance with ANSI/ADA Specification No. 19. Twenty discs of each impression material were disinfected by chemical immersion for 10 min; another 20 discs were subjected to dry microwave irradiation for 3 min. The other 20 discs served as a control group. Dimensional stability measurements were then performed using an image analyzer at 20× magnification. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (α=0.05) and Bonferroni (post hoc) test for multiple comparisons to detect significant differences between the groups.

Results:

When subjected to microwave irradiation, both PVS and VSE showed dimensional changes, but the changes were within the limit of 1.5% set by ANSI/ADA (P<0.00). VSE showed markedly better results than PVS for both disinfection methods. The immersion disinfection method resulted in a higher average percentage of linear dimensional changes than both the microwave irradiation and the control for VSE and PVS impression materials.

Conclusion:

VSE exhibited excellent dimensional stability than PVS under both chemical immersion and microwave irradiation. Microwave irradiation using conventional microwave ovens can be used in clinical settings as an alternative to other disinfection techniques because the dimensional changes of the elastomeric impression materials subjected to microwave irradiation have been observed to be within the clinically acceptable limit set by the ANSI/ADA standard.

Authors: Farag Arwa M. , Alharbi Meshal , Alamoudi Mazen , Alturki Ghassan
Published: December 2021

Background:

The perception and attitude of dental students/graduates regarding diagnosing/managing oral medicine cases are scarcely investigated.

Objective:

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the level of confidence in diagnosing/managing cases of oral mucosal lesions and salivary glands hypofunction.

Methods:

A 29-items questionnaire descriptive survey was distributed among dental interns and sixth-year students in the city of Jeddah during March-April of 2020.

Results:

A total of 136 (81 interns and 55 sixth-year students) completed the questionnaire, of which 69.9% were from a government school, and 30.1% were from private schools. For oral mucosal lesions [i.e., aphthous/herpes simplex virus ulceration], the majority of government and private schools’ participants reported being confident in their ability to diagnose (88.4% and 87.8%, respectively) and provide treatment (63.2% and 56.1%, respectively). For oral candidiasis, the majority were confident in their ability to diagnose (government: 95.8%; private: 59.1%) and treat (government: 77.9%; private: 65.9%). The confidence in diagnosing lesions suspicious for dysplasia/premalignancy was high in 77.9% of government and 80.5% of private schools. Similar reporting was found regarding salivary hypofunctions (government: 93.7%; private: 90.2%). For the likeness to refer, the majority of participants were likely to refer to oral medicine, as the 1st choice, followed by oral surgery.

Conclusion:

Dental interns/sixth-year students seemed to have high levels of confidence in diagnosing/managing oral mucosal lesions and salivary hypofunctions. However, the partial participation and the subjectivity of reporting may have hindered capturing the full/precise picture.

Authors: Fana Thanduxolo
Published: December 2021

Background:

Globally, millions are infected with HIV/AIDS, and more than half of them are adolescents aged between 12-25 years. Inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and risky practices are major barriers to HIV/AIDS prevention. This study seeks to establish the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HIV/AIDS among high school learners in South Africa.

Methods:

Data were collected from a randomly selected sample of 422 learners from two high schools using pre-tested questionnaires. Data were analysed using SPSS version 16.

Results:

Participants had good HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and practice levels, however, misconceptions about transmission, negative attitudes, and risky behaviour or practices were also found. Knowledge was associated with age, social status, and sources of information. Attitudes were associated with gender, age, race, social status and sources of information. Practices were associated with age, race, social class, and sources of information (p = < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Sex education (life orientation) in school and HIV/AIDS awareness programs in communities need to be intensified in order to rectify misconceptions, negative and discriminatory attitudes, unsafe and risky practices, as schools and healthcare workers were found to be the main source of HIV/AIDS information.

“O Povo Desliga, Vai à Procura do Fado” — A Rádio e a Resistência Fadista ao Estado Novo na Década de 1930
Authors: Carvalheiro José Ricardo
Published: December 2021

Muito longe da consagração atual e mesmo antes da sua domesticação pelo salazarismo, o fado atravessou fases dilemáticas da sua existência. Entre elas, estão os tempos iniciais da sua mediatização, em particular, as complexas articulações com a rádio na década de 1930, com o Estado Novo e os preconceitos de classe a tentarem ostracizar o fado ou, pelo menos, travar a legitimação nacional da cultura popular urbana. As tensões que já antes rodeavam o fado renovaram-se e agudizaram-se face ao contexto simultâneo de estabilização da ditadura e de implantação da rádio em Portugal, colocando o novo meio de difusão sonora no centro das lutas simbólicas em torno da “canção nacional”. Envolvendo dilemas entre o estigma e a legitimação fadista, entre a sua origem e a propagação, entre a difusão pública e o controlo estético ou moral, constitui-se uma zona de articulação da rádio com o fado onde diversos atores sociais se posicionaram, com diferentes objetivos e estratégias, e em que se jogaram questões de programação, discursividade e status social. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar esse conjunto de articulações ao longo dos anos 30, tentando perceber de que maneira a formação do campo radiofónico, com as suas várias estações e matizes, se tornou palco e participante num processo cultural que, em alguns aspetos, já o precedia. A pesquisa baseia-se na imprensa coeva, especificamente nos jornais de fado (Guitarra de Portugal; Canção do Sul) e nos periódicos dedicados à rádio (Rádio Semanal; Rádio Revista; Boletim da Emissora Nacional; Rádio Nacional).

Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati samoprocjenu motivacije za promjenu ponašanja osoba s problemom ovisnosti. U provedenim intervjuima sudjelovale su osobe s problemom ovisnosti koje su se nalazile u terapijskom programu zajednice Cenacolo i Klinici za psihijatriju Vrapče (N = 8). Podaci su obrađeni tematskom analizom. Kod samoprocjene motivacije za uključivanje u program kod sudionika obje skupine ključnim su se pokazale podrška bliskih osoba, nemogućnost normalnog funkcioniranja te vlastita odluka potaknuta značajnim osobama. Motivacija za vrijeme trajanja liječenja kod dviju skupina sudionika bila je različita. Religioznost i duhovnost motiviraju sudionike iz Cenacola, dok je grupna podrška ključna za sudionike Klinike za psihijatriju Vrapče. Razlika je vidljiva i u razmišljanjima o motivima za apstinenciju, gdje sudionici zajednice Cenacolo naglasak stavljaju na molitvu, a pacijenti Klinike za psihijatriju Vrapče na životne promjene.

Coeliac disease (CD) is a systemic disease of the unwarranted immune reaction to gluten and is associated with a 10% increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Here we present a patient with recurrent myocardial ischemia and intractable itching who was eventually diagnosed with CD. A 53-year-old man presented to the allergy department due to intractable itching that was resistant to antihistamine therapy. In addition, despite successful percutaneous intervention with stent implantation to the right coronary artery, there was an ST segment elevation with myocardial infarction (MI) in the lower wall that had occurred three times. After dermatitis herpetiformis was reported as a result of the biopsy performed from the lesions, duodenal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of CD. Diagnosis of CD with atypical presentation can be difficult. Cardiovascular risk is increased in patients with celiac disease compared to the normal population. Itching is an important symptom that needs to be evaluated in detail, even without the typical gastrointestinal manifestations of CD. Keywords: Allergy, coeliac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, myocardial infarction, omalizumab, recurrent stenosis

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical course and treatment outcomes of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) after infection with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine patients with HAE were included in this study. These patients were regularly followed up over phone calls since the first COVID-19 case was seen in our country. Patients were asked to visit the hospital if there was a history of contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient or if the patient developed clinical symptoms of COVID-19.Results: There were 21 (54%) patients with type I HAE, and 18 (46%) with type II HAE. All patients received treatment for angioedema attacks (C1-inhibitor [C1-INH], icatibant), and seven (20%) received long-term prophylaxis (danazol). Treatment for attacks was continued for all patients during the pandemic. Patients taking danazol were switched to long-term prophylaxis using the C1-INH concentrate. Eleven (28%) patients with HAE developed COVID-19 during this study. Only one patient had severe COVID-19. Six patients (54.5%) were diagnosed with type II HAE, and five (45.5%) were diagnosed with type I HAE. The most common COVID-19 symptoms were fever (7/11; 64%) and myalgia (6/11; 55%). Mild angioedema attacks were experienced by 36% (4/11) of the HAE patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Icatibant was used in all patients.Conclusion: Agents used for HAE block the kallikrein-kinin system and may be useful in the treatment of COVID-19. Considering their beneficial effects on COVID-19, it is recommended that HAE patients should continue the use of agents blocking the kallikrein-kinin system. Keywords: COVID-19, hereditary angioedema, kallikrein-kinin system, bradykinin, C1-INH
