Authors: Crespo Berti Luis Andrés
Published: August 2022

Este artículo pretendió examinar lo que acontece hoy día en la investigación universitaria y su vinculación con los procesos de titulación mediante la confección del trabajo de tesis doctoral como una nueva forma de didáctica de investigación social que invita a su diferenciación. Frente a esta perspectiva, el objetivo general centró su atención en examinar presupuestos teórico-prácticos para el desarrollo de competencias proactivas en los procedimientos institucionales de tutorías de doctorandos de cuarto nivel de estudios formales. Los criterios de validación están estrechamente relacionados con los procesos de investigación de grado académico de acuerdo con el reglamento de titulación de cada universidad. La metodología ensayada en el tópico fue de tipo exploratorio, convirtiéndolo en amplio e inacabado, por cuanto pretendió dar una visión general de una determinada realidad con respecto a la investigación en la universidad (tutor-tutorado). En este propósito, se precisa el método cualitativo y de ordinario el método de la lógica de las estructuras (universidad) y sus actores (organización académica, docentes, discentes) para la interpretación de la realidad. Como resultado, fue menester la implementación de una dinámica idónea en la instauración de procesos de desarrollo regional local bajo los más estrictos estándares generalmente aceptados por la comunidad universitaria básicamente de la región con una proyección secundaria hacia Latinoamérica y el caribe. La principal conclusión se empodera en la socialización de un baremo para la viabilidad de una investigación en predios universitarios.

Published: August 2022

The atom-bond connectivity energy (ABC energy) of an undirected graph $ G $, denoted by $ \mathcal{E}_{ABC}(G) $, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the ABC eigenvalues of $ G $. Gao and Shao [The minimum ABC energy of trees, Linear Algebra Appl., 577 (2019), 186-203] proved that the star $ S_n $ is the unique tree with minimum ABC energy among all trees on $ n $ vertices. In this paper, we characterize the trees with the minimum ABC energy among all trees on $ n $ vertices except the star $ S_n $.
Agile Leadership and Organization Performance in the Perspective of VUCA
Authors: Akkaya Bulent , Sever Emine
Published: August 2022

Agile leaders have the ability to think flexibly in changing environmental conditions to adapt an organization perfectly to these changes. These leaders can uncover the strengths of their employees, use their insights to transition the organization's intended change, and take advantage of the opportunities in change while trying to minimize their negative impact on the organization. Organizations that incorporate agile into their processes through agile leaders are better able to respond quickly to change and deliver superior business value to their stakeholders. With agile leadership, organizations will be in a better position to quickly detect developments in the business environment and achieve agility with few resources. As the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) of today's business world continues to pose great challenges for many organizations, this research examines the impact of agile leadership style on organizational performance from the perspective of VUCA world.
Importance of Selective Arterial Calcium Stimulation with Hepatic Venous Sampling in Management of a Patient with Multifocal Insulinoma
Authors: Ubhayasiri S. , Premawansa G.
Published: August 2022

Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumour arising from beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans.  We report a case of insulinoma presented with vague manifestations, which were undiagnosed for 2 years. The diagnostic evaluation revealed endogenous hyperinsulinism and imaging showed a pancreatic head lesion for which she underwent the surgery.  Due to persisting symptoms, Calcium arterial stimulation and hepatic venous sampling was later performed and it localized an occult insulinoma that was not visible during the radiological or surgical assessment. Diagnosis of occult insulinomas remains a clinical challenge. Selective arterial calcium stimulation and venous sampling is a reliable pre-operative procedure for the positive diagnosis of insulinoma.
A Unique Challenge in Management in the Emergency Department and Cardiac Cathlab: Case Review of Two Subjects with Kounis Syndrome Complicated with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Ventricular Tachycardia, Following Exposure to Cutaneous or Intravenous Allergens
Authors: Athauda Arachchi P. M. , Yahampath N. , Rajapakse S.
Published: August 2022

Acute coronary syndromes, such as coronary spasm or acute myocardial infarction, have been reported following allergic reactions.  These are known to affect patients of any age, and can have a variety of clinical manifestations, and are collectively referred to as Kounis syndrome [1].  We report 2 cases of acute myocardial infarction complicated by severe cardiac dysrhythmia, following an acute allergic reaction to cutaneous or intravenous allergens. To our knowledge, this is the first instance of a skin contact with caterpillar has been documented to provoke Kounis syndrome complicated by an acute STEMI with polymorphic VT.  Management of such patients could be hazardous, particularly in emergency units and cardiac catheter labs, when decisions on drugs and urgent revascularization need to be made on a background of inflammation induced by severe allergic reactions. In theory, bare metal stents (when appropriate), Polymer free, Bio-absorbable scaffolds or rapid healing Drug Eluting Stents offer a better safety profile in emergency PCI, but according to our knowledge, duration of antiplatelet drugs and relative safety of various types of stents with variable drug and polymer combinations have not been formally evaluated in this condition in randomised control trials. The risk of early and late stent thrombosis and restenosis with chronic inflammation may be difficult to predict in the long term, without follow up data from trials. Such trials are very difficult to set up given the low volumes and emergency nature of events, hence review of clinical case series like ours will be invaluable to gain more insight into rapid decision making required in this interesting clinical syndrome. Reassuringly, both our patients who had emergency PCI with either Biolimus, Everolimus eluting or bare metal stents respectively in the acute setting, have not experienced repeat hospitalizations for ACS, arrhythmia or a repeat revascularization procedure at 7 and 5year follow-ups respectively.

Published: August 2022

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is a condition which occurs due to rapid osmotic changes which result in myelinolysis of the nervous system. Uncommonly the myelinolysis could involve areas beyond the pons resulting in extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). We report a 70-year-old gentleman who presented with a 2-week history of reduced interaction and altered behavior with parkinsonism following oral correction of severe hyponatraemia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed hyperintensities in the T2-weighted FLAIR images involving the pontine region with no involvement of basal ganglia. This case illustrates the significance of adhering to recommended protocols when correcting hyponatraemia and the importance of timing brain imaging in ODS.

Chemical and microbiological drinking water contaminants pose risks to child health but are not often evaluated concurrently. At two consecutive visits to 96 households in Piura, Peru, we collected drinking water samples, administered health and exposure questionnaires, and collected infant stool samples. Standard methods were used to quantify heavy metals/metalloids, pesticides, and Escherichia coli concentrations in water samples. Stool samples were assayed for bacterial, viral, and parasitic enteropathogens. The primary drinking water source was indoor piped water for 70 of 96 households (73%); 36 households (38%) stored drinking water from the primary source in containers in the home. We found high prevalence of chemical and microbiological contaminants in household drinking water samples: arsenic was detected in 50% of 96 samples, ≥ 1 pesticide was detected in 65% of 92 samples, and E. coli was detected in 37% of 319 samples. Drinking water samples that had been stored in containers had higher odds of E. coli detection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 4.50; 95% CI: 2.04–9.95) and pesticide detection (OR: 6.55; 95% CI: 2.05–21.0) compared with samples collected directly from a tap. Most infants (68%) had ≥ 1 enteropathogen detected in their stool. Higher odds of enteropathogen infection at the second visit were observed among infants from households where pesticides were detected in drinking water at the first visit (aOR: 2.93; 95% CI: 1.13–7.61). Results show concurrent risks of exposure to microbiological and chemical contaminants in drinking water in a low-income setting, despite high access to piped drinking water.

Automatic age classification has drawn the interest of many scholars in the fields of machine learning and deep learning. In this study, we looked at the problem of estimating age groups using different biometric modalities of human beings. We looked at the problem of determining age groups in humans using various biometric modalities. Specifically, we focused on the use of transfer learning for sclera age group classification. 2000 Sclera images were collected from 250 individuals of various ages, and Otsu thresholding was used to segment the images using morphological processes. Experiment was conducted to determine how accurately the age group of a person can be classified from sclera images using pretrained CNN architectures. The segmented images were trained and tested on four different pre-trained models (VGG16, ResNet50, MobileNetV2, EffcientNet-B1), which were compared based on different performance metrics in which ResNet-50 was shown to outperform the others, resulting in an accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score of 95% while VGG-16, EffcientNetB1, and MobileNetV2 had 94%, 93%, and 91%, respectively. The findings from the study showed that there is an aging template in the sclera that can be utilized to classify age.

Let Gσ be a graph obtained by attaching a self-loop, or just a loop, for short, at each of σ chosen vertices of a given graph G. Gutman et al. have recently introduced the concept of the energy of graphs with self-loops, and conjectured that the energy E(G) of a graph G of order n is always strictly less than the energy E(Gσ) of a corresponding graph Gσ, for 1 ≤ σ ≤ n − 1. In this paper, a simple set of graphs which disproves this conjecture is exposed, together with some remarks regarding the standard deviations of the (adjacency) eigenvalues of G and Gσ, respectively.

Accidents are inadvertent untoward events that lead to injuries or diseases. In the healthcare setting, both patients and healthcare workers are at risk of being victims. By virtue of children’s evolving developmental maturity, caring for them puts all parties more at risk. Having a comprehensive framework to prevent accidents in paediatric practice is therefore crucial. This paper aims to utilize the primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention to detail the strategies for preventing needle stick injury, exposure to blood-borne infections, post-injection traumatic neuropathy, post injection abscess, Nicolau syndrome, fluid overload, and drug overdose in paediatric healthcare settings. Preventing the selected injuries and disorders involves a multidisciplinary team of paediatricians, paediatric surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, burns and plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, toxicologists, pharmacists, microbiologists, infectious disease physicians, anaesthetists, and public health physicians.

Políticas públicas e turismo sustentável: uma análise em Capitólio-MG
Authors:   , Leonel Camila Silveira
Published: August 2022

O presente estudo tem o propósito de compreender o papel da administração pública local no desenvolvimento do turismo sustentável em Capitólio. Esta pesquisa está fundamentada nas teorias Butller (1980) e Scott (2011), procurando a relacionar a atuação pública à sustentabilidade. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, a pesquisa possui a natureza quantitativa, classificada como descritiva e a sua fonte de dados é primária com a aplicação de 315 questionários aos residentes do município de estudo. Para a análise dos dados, foram utilizadas a seguintes técnicas: Alfa de Cronbach, Análise de Clusters e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. De forma geral, constatou-se que o turismo sustentável pode ser influenciado de forma positiva pela participação social, política pública do turismo, desenvolvimento econômico, qualidade da cidade, meio ambiente, cultura local e apenas negativamente para o desenvolvimento social. Mostra que o desenvolvimento social tem a necessidade de uma dedicação maior por parte da administração pública para que os moradores mudem a sua percepção em relação a essa categoria. A não inserção da dependência econômica demonstra que em Capitólio, o apoio ao turismo independe dos benefícios econômicos recebidos pelos residentes. Mostra que a não inclusão da dependência econômica pode ter um lado positivo, pois a população valoriza a atividade turística, independentemente se ela possui ganhos financeiros ou não diretos com a atividade. Os resultados demonstram que para o turismo ser promovido de forma satisfatória para os seus moradores e os turistas, a administração local deve incentivar a participação social nas tomadas de decisão, de forma que a atividade seja feita de forma planejada e controlada, minimizando os impactos negativos, principalmente para os residentes.

Exploring Indian Views on the underrepresentation of female teenagers in STEM
Authors: Mukherjee Abhishek , Rahim Aamina
Published: August 2022

Only 15% to 20% of tenured faculty at Indian universities are women, while 14% of employed researchers in STEM fields are women. To investigate reasons for this problem, the present research study was conducted to gather data for Indian respondents’ perceptions of the reasons for understanding of the women underrepresentation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields, focusing on female teenagers. The study asked respondents to rate the overall underrepresentation and the importance of different factors on a scale of 1 to 7, along with their own explanations and suggestions. The study found that the most important factor to explain the underrepresentation was Poverty, followed by Parent’s Traditional values. In contrast, the least important factors were Feminine Attributes and the idea that female teenagers wanted to avoid the male field, while Absorb Stereotypes (the idea that female teenagers subconsciously take in stereotypes of STEM being a male field), Teacher’s Discouragement and Less Confidence were given ratings closer to the middle. Additional factors suggested by respondents included females having to take care of family responsibilities and lack of role models in STEM fields. This suggests Indians have increased awareness of the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields.

We describe an unusual case of stroke manifesting as alien hand syndrome (AHS) causing sudden onset of abnormal hand movements. The patient reported his left arm would move outside his control and grab things in his surroundings without his conscious will. He felt his arm did not belong to him. Examination showed left arm brisk reflexes, astereognosis, and agraphesthesia in the left hand. Imaging revealed an established right parietal lobe ischaemic stroke. Lesions of the parietal cortex can cause AHS by disrupting the interpretation of somatosensory feedback when a movement is made and decreasing the ability to consciously monitor motor intentions. A low threshold should be adopted for arranging brain imaging and a thorough neurological examination is needed in any sudden onset movement disorder.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Hand washing and the use of alcohol based hand-rub are two effective hand-hygiene procedures. Though the compliance to hand washing was relatively low, the COVID-19 pandemic situation has drastically increased the use of hand sanitizers. Thus, many hand sanitizer brands have entered the market and this study was taken up to assess the microbial efficacy of different types of hand sanitizers available in Thimphu.
Methods: Ten gel based and ten liquid hand sanitizers were collected from various retail pharmacy shops in Thimphu during first quarter of 2020. Laboratory based experiment was performed using standard organism; Gram Negative Bacteria (GNB) Escherichia coli (American Type Culture Collection 25922) and Pseudomonas aurigenosa (American Type Culture Collection 27853), Gram Positive Bacteria (GPB) Staphylococcus aureus (American Type Culture Collection 25923) and a cocktail of GNB and GPC. The efficacy of hand sanitizer was assessed with the size of the Zone of Inhibition (ZoI).
Results: The hand sanitizers were found to be effective against all strains of micro organism but with differentsize of ZoI. The maximum size of Zone of Inhibition was observed by sample N and Q (ZoI diameter 33.0±0.14mm) for American Type Culture Collection 25923. The Zone of Inhibition of liquid base hand sanitizers was significantly higher than that of gel base (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The study presents that liquid base alcohol based hand sanitizer is more efficient than the gel form.

Com o presente texto trazemos alguns resultados empíricos sobre percepções de estudantes de Ensino Médio sobre a relação entre Ciência e Religião, bem como alguns indícios de viabilidade de atividades que foram conduzidas em uma pesquisa mais ampla, em nível de mestrado em Ensino de Física, para tratar desta relação em sala de aula. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar possibilidades para o Ensino de Física com viés Histórico e Epistemológico que trate da relação Ciência e Religião. Para tal, apresentamos dados coletados com estudantes de Ensino Médio sobre como estes alunos relacionam Ciência e Religião, antes de uma intervenção didática (Estudo 1, N=291) e após uma intervenção didática que abordasse o tema de forma secundária, uma vez que a ênfase foi a introdução de Física Quântica com um viés histórico (Estudo 2, N=34). Observamos se os alunos acreditavam que os cientistas (quaisquer cientistas para o Estudo 1 e os principais cientistas por trás do desenvolvimento da Quântica para o Estudo 2) poderiam expressar alguma religiosidade e categorizamos as respostas, observando que estas podem ser relacionadas com categorias identificadas na literatura. Com a execução de um Módulo Didático de Física Quântica com um viés histórico, em que uma das propostas era tratar como a religiosidade dos cientistas não embaraça a atividade acadêmica destes, foi possível obter indícios de aprendizagem do conteúdo físico e um encaminhamento dos alunos que compuseram o Módulo para um discurso de diálogo entre Ciência e Religiosidade.

Authors: Rzondzinski Daniel
Published: August 2022

This article describes the construction and application of a complex spiritually integrated psychotherapeutic model for assessment and treatment of internalized homophobia. Homophobia is a complex phenomenon because it includes multiple dimensions: personal, interpersonal, institutional, cultural, political, social, and historical. Internalized homophobia is a mental health problem that affects the subjectivity of 2SLGBTQ+ people. The model explained in this article is a product of the integration of principles from psychoanalytic psychotherapy, 2SLGBTQ+ affirmative framework, narrative therapy, and spiritually integrated psychotherapy. The integration is facilitated by the principles of complex thinking. This article emphasizes the problem of internalized homophobia and the coming out process from a spiritual perspective.

Nonlinear resonant interactions of atmospheric tides with annual oscillation based on meteor radar observation and reanalysis data

Published: August 2022

Abstract. Nonlinear interactions among gravity waves and among tides and planetary waves (PWs) have extensively been studied, however, resonant interactions between tides and annual (AO) and semiannual (SAO) oscillations were not reported. By using meteor radar observations and reanalysis data for 9 years, we demonstrate that the sum and difference resonant interactions between the diurnal (DT)/semidiurnal (SDT) tides and the AO/SAO do occur in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). Both the frequencies and wavenumbers of the secondary waves in the sum (difference) resonant interactions just equal the sum (difference) frequencies and wavenumbers between the DT/SDT and the AO/SAO. Spectral analysis shows that only the DT, SDT, AO, SAO and their secondary waves are the predominant components in both the zonal and meridional winds at 90 km with the spectral amplitudes of 3.5–17.7 ms-1, being much stronger than all the other spectral amplitudes, including the amplitudes (2.1–2.2 ms-1) of the relatively strong terdiurnal tide and 16-day PW. At some altitudes in the MLT, the secondary waves are more intense than the DT/SDT, thus in tidal studies, the magnitude of the secondary waves may be regarded as the tidal one if the observational period is not long enough or their spectral peaks are not distinguished carefully.

Abstract. The atmospheric oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) represents a major natural source of atmospheric sulfate aerosols. However, there remain large uncertainties in our understanding of the underlying chemistry that governs the product distribution and sulfate yield from DMS oxidation. Here, chamber experiments were conducted to simulate gas-phase OH-initiated oxidation of DMS under a range of reaction conditions. Most importantly, the bimolecular lifetime (τbi) of the peroxy radical CH3SCH2OO was varied over several orders of magnitude, enabling the examination of the role of peroxy radical isomerization reactions on product formation. An array of analytical instruments was used to measure nearly all sulfur-containing species in the reaction mixture, and results were compared with a near-explicit chemical mechanism. When relative humidity was low, “sulfur closure” was achieved under both high-NO (τbi < 0.1 s) and low-NO (τbi > 10 s) conditions, though product distributions were substantially different in the two cases. Under high-NO conditions, approximately half the product sulfur was in the particle phase, as methane sulfonic acid (MSA) and sulfate, with most of the remainder as SO2 (which in the atmosphere would eventually oxidize to sulfate or be lost to deposition). Under low-NO conditions, hydroperoxymethyl thioformate (HPMTF, HOOCH2SCHO), formed from CH3SCH2OO isomerization, dominates the sulfur budget over the course of the experiment, suppressing or delaying the formation of SO2 and particulate matter. The isomerization rate constant of CH3SCH2OO at 295 K is found to be 0.13 ± 0.03 s-1, in broad agreement with other recent laboratory measurements. The rate constants for the OH oxidation of key first-generation oxidation products (HPMTF and methyl thioformate, MTF) were also determined (kOH+HPMTF = 2.1 × 10-11 cm3 molec-1 s-1, kOH+MTF = 1.35 × 10-11 cm3 molec-1 s-1). Product measurements agree reasonably well with mechanistic predictions in terms of total sulfur distribution and concentrations of most individual species, though the mechanism overpredicts sulfate and underpredicts MSA under high-NO conditions. Lastly, results from high-RH conditions suggest efficient heterogenous loss of at least some gas-phase products.
Polar Firn Properties in Greenland and Antarctica and Related Effects on Microwave Brightness Temperatures

Published: August 2022

Abstract. In studying the mass balance of polar ice sheets, the fluctuation of the firn density near the surface is a major uncertainty. In this paper, we explore these variations at locations in the Greenland Ice Sheet and at the Dome C location in Antarctica. Borehole in situ measurements, snow radar echoes, microwave brightness temperatures, and modelling results from the Community firn model (CFM) are used. It is shown that firn density profiles can be represented using 3 processes: “long” and “short” length scale density variations and “refrozen layers”. Consistency with this description is observed in the dynamic range of airborne 0.5–2 GHz brightness temperatures and snow radar echo peaks in measurements performed in Greenland in 2017. Based on these insights, a new analytical partially coherent model is implemented to explain the microwave brightness temperatures using the three scale description of the firn. Short and long scale firn processes are modelled as a 3D continuous random medium with finite vertical and horizontal correlation lengths as opposed to past 1D random layered medium descriptions. Refrozen layers are described as deterministic sheets with planar interfaces, with the number of refrozen layer interfaces determined by radar observations. Firn density and correlation length parameters used in forward modelling to match measured 0.5–2 GHz brightness temperatures in Greenland show consistency with similar parameters in CFM predictions. Model predictions also are in good agreement with multi-angle 1.4 GHz vertically and horizontally polarized brightness temperature measured by the SMOS satellite at DOME C, Antarctica. This work shows that co-located active and passive microwave measurements can be used to infer polar firn properties that can be compared with predictions of the CFM. In particular, 0.5–2 GHz brightness temperature measurements are shown to be sensitive to long scale firn density fluctuations with density standard deviations in the range 0.01–0.06 g/cm3 and vertical correlation lengths of 6–20 cm.

Abstract. Landslides are important agents of sediment transport, cause hazards and are key agents for the evolution of scarplands. To analyse geologic and vegetation control on landsliding, we investigated three landslides in the Franconian scarplands. We used geomorphic mapping, soil analysis, electrical resistivity and a mechanical stability model to quantify the stability state of the landslides. Furthermore, we mapped tree distribution, quantified rooted area and root tensile strength to assess the influence of vegetation on shallow landsliding. Our results show that landslides are deep-seated incorporating rotational and translational movement with sliding along a geologic boundary between permeable Rhätolias sandstone and impermeable Feuerletten clays. Despite low slope angles, landslides could be reactivated when high pore pressures could develop due to geologic conditions. In contrast, shallow landsliding is controlled by vegetation. Our results show that rooted area is more important than species dependent root tensile strength and limited to the upper 0.5 m of the surface due to geologically controlled unfavourable soil conditions. Due to low slope inclination, root cohesion can stabilize landslide toes or slopes undercut by forest roads, independent of potential soil cohesion, when tree density is sufficient dense. Forest management currently adapts forests to climate change by diversifying tree species and introducing European beech, which would increase slope stability when sufficient rooted area is reached. Forestry activities should aim to keep a certain tree density to enable sufficient root cohesion that prevent landslide activity between harvesting or adaption periods. In summary, geological conditions in scarplands favour landslide activity and influence vegetation control on landslide activity, which suggest a combined forest and hazard management should be applied to prevent future landsliding.

Aspectos Psicossociais do Atendimento de Emergências no Brasil

Published: August 2022

Durante muitos anos compartilhando das ideias e ideais psicossomáticos, que vêem o ser humano de maneira individualizada, cheguei a temer pelo futuro desta filosofia ao me deparar com uma prática médica voltada para o organicismo e distante do homem. Homem que, pela essência e pelo viver determina a necessidade do outro, da compreensão, da solidariedade e do amor. Homem que, ao vislumbrar-se interiormente, tenta buscar a perfeição e o acerto.

Muito embora existam descrições bíblicas sobre a ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP), somente há cerca de 60 anos as técnicas evoluíram e se tornaram evidência científica consolidada. Há mais de 30 anos, associações como American Heart Association (AHA) edita guidelines periodicamente, instruindo minuciosamente o processo das manobras de compressão torácica, o uso de ventilação e de medicações. Além disso, nesse mesmo contexto de propagação das condutas da RCP, também podemos observar a promoção de cursos de capacitação, habilitando inúmeros profissionais de saúde e leigos a reproduzir uma RCP de qualidade, o que impactou substancialmente na redução da incidência de morte súbita em vias públicas.
ECONOMIC DOCTRINES THE BASIS OF STATE DEVELOPMENT

The problem of interstate economic unification today is geopolitical in nature, and therefore the unions that are being formed today will play leading roles in world politics in the future. Practice has shown that such interstate unions as the EU or NATO work, despite the fact that their members retain a significant share of their state sovereignty. Such alliances have begun to form everywhere, especially after the successes achieved by the EU. Each of these unions is created by the future member states of this union in order to preserve and maintain their independence, that is, in order not to fall under the influence of one of the world powers or another union. From the point of view of traditional economic theory, it is impossible to find answers to all questions related to international integration. Why some integration unions are successful, while others are not, why the declared goal and the result obtained do not always coincide. It is the issues of economic integration that are of high relevance at the present time. There are also a number of other important reasons, such as economic cooperation, cultural interaction, joint development of infrastructure, mutual assistance, raising one's own status at the world level, and much more. All this implies that by joint efforts the countries that are members of these unions reach greater heights than if they were not members of them, thus the rule of synergetic works.

Introduction: Adenomyosis is defined by the abnormal location of endometrial tissue within the myometrium associated with hypertrophy or hyperplasia of the myometrial stroma. It is a chronic estrogen dependent condition. Although pathogenesis and etiology of adenomyosis remain unknown, two main theories have been proposed: invagination of the endometrial basal layer and metaplasia of embryonic stem cells. Prevalence of adenomyosis varies widely from 5 to 70% with recent studies showing about 20% prevalence among which the majority were premenopausal. Materials and Methods: A Comparative Study was conducted from March 2022-August 2022. Women attending Gynec OPD with Abnormal Uterine bleeding due to Adenomyosis confirmed by sonography at Vinayaka Mission’s Kiruparananda Variyar Medical College and Hospital, Salem. Patients coming to Gynecology OPD with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding, confirmed diagnosis of adenomyosis by ultrasonography, fulfilling the criteria and ready to followup to be enrolled in the study. A detailed history to be obtained with regard to age, parity, age of menarche, time since bleeding starts, duration and frequency of menstrual cycle.
