Laparoscopic Retrieval of multiple Sharp Foreign Bodies from Stomach in a Patient of Acuphagia – A Case Report
Authors:   Foundation University Medical College, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi
Published: September 2022

Foreign body ingestion is a common clinical scenario encountered in the emergency room with commonest cases presenting among children and in psychiatric adults. The key principle of management is dependent upon appropriate diagnosis and exact localization of the foreign body ingested and its type. Once an appropriate characterization of the ingested foreign body is made, further decision about its retrieval is based on whether any complication related to the foreign body, such as peritonitis is present or not. The method of retrieval can vary from minimally invasive to open surgery mostly dependent on availability of instruments and surgeon’s expertise. Unless any complication has occurred, surgeons in the current era are erring more towards minimally invasive methods. In cases where large or sharp foreign bodies are involved, that would demerit the use of endoscopy for its removal, surgeons are nowadays opting for laparoscopic removal instead of the traditional laparotomy. This case report highlights the use of laparoscopy for salvaging such foreign bodies especially when advantages such as, early post-operative recovery, less pain, minimal scar and decreased hospital stay over traditional laparotomy is involved Keywords: Gastro-intestinal tract, stomach, Foreign body, Acuphagia, Laparoscopic retrieval, Complications

Authors:   Pakistan Railway Hospital, Islamic International Medical College Riphah International University, Islamabad, Pakistan, Sultana Saadia
Published: September 2022

Objective: To establish the role of determining increased amniotic fluid index (AFI) and large for gestational age (LGA) fetus on ultrasound for the screening of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Study Design: Descriptive Observational study. Place and Duration: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Pakistan Railway Hospital, Rawalpindi from 1st September 2021 till 28th February 2022. Methodology: The pregnant women, between 20-30 weeks of gestation, suspected of having excessive AFI or LGA fetuses on routine clinical examination, were advised to have an obstetric ultrasound scan. AFI > 20 cm or LGA on ultrasound (>90th percentile for that gestation) were considered abnormal. These participants were then subjected to 75-gram Oral Glucose Tolerance test (OGTT). Based on OGTT, the sample population was divided into two groups at the post-stratification stage: with and without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Chi-square test was applied to compare the frequency of increased AFI and LGA between patients having GDM or not having GDM. Results: The study population (n=75) showed the frequency of LGA as 37.3 % and increased AFI as 65.3%. Women with increased AFI were at a significantly greater risk of GDM (65%), as compared to those with normal AFI (27%) with p-value of 0.002. Also, patients having LGA fetuses (60.7%) were at a greater risk of having GDM, as compared to those with normal weight fetuses (34%) with p-value of 0.024. Conclusion: Women with Increased AFI and LGA fetuses between 20-30 weeks of gestation are at a greater risk to develop GDM. Hence these ultrasound parameters can be used as reliable screening tools for the detection of GDM.

Authors: James Oguta , Andrew Kimwolo
Published: September 2022

The paper examines the relationship between corporate culture, core competences and organizational learning among manufacturing firms in Uganda. Using a self-administered questionnaire and interview guide, this research gathered quantitative and qualitative data from 410 Ugandan manufacturing businesses in Uganda. A cross-sectional explanatory survey design was employed to study the nature of reality. To test the hypothesis, regression analysis was performed, while content analysis was used to evaluate qualitative data. According to the results, corporate culture has a positive influence on organizational learning, and core competencies also have a positive effect on organizational learning. The results supported the theoretical foundations of organizational learning and resource-based view theories. As a result of the findings, manufacturing firms may increase the influence of strategic leadership on organizational learning by promoting cultures that emphasize employees' desire to improve and learn, openness, creativity, teamwork, interaction with others, open dialogue, long-term orientation, and mutual trust. Furthermore, manufacturing firms should guarantee that capabilities are built inside their organizations. The results might help Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and policymakers develop strategies and policies to boost organisational learning among manufacturing firms. This research contributes to our knowledge of the influence of strategic leadership aspects on organizational learning in manufacturing firms, particularly in a developing country like Uganda.

Authors:   Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, Republic of Moldova, Sambrish Elena
Published: September 2022

Musical and choreographic dramaturgy is an organized complex system, in the study of which one should rely on the principle of holism. In an effort to develop adequate methods for a comprehensive artistic and analytical understanding of the phenomenon of art, in the practical classes in the discipline „Musical and Choreographic Dramaturgy” we rely on such a form of work as the analytical essay in the form of comparative tables, in which, along with the deductive and inductive method, is widely used traductive inference. This promotes the development of analytical skills, the formation of a critical vision, the ability to notice details and, connecting them to each other, comprehend the general idea and dramaturgy.

Corporate Charitable Donation Under the Theory of Organizational Legitimacy from the Perspective of Listed Companies' Violations in a Regional Institutional Environment
Authors: Liu Jianke , Zheng Nan , Lu Xi , Qu Yi
Published: September 2022

This paper studies the legitimacy of listed companies from the perspective of violation. We use the violation data of all A-share non-financial listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2006 to 2019 and look at the relationship between corporate violation and charitable donation, and the possible influence of the regional institutional environment of enterprises and the degree of association between enterprises and government on the relationship between corporate violations and charitable donations. Compared with violations at the organizational level, enterprises with violations at the executive level are more active regarding charitable donations. The moderating effect indicates that the institutional environment level of the geographical region where the enterprise is located strengthens the negative relationship between the offending enterprise and charitable donation. After dividing into congenital and acquired government enterprise association, the congenital Government Enterprise Association has a strengthening effect on the charitable donation behavior of illegal enterprises.

Published: September 2022

Language anxiety is thought to hinder language learning, and if the learners are truly anxious in class, they are probably not fully engaged, if at all. With the help of the Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scale (FLSAS) and a free-speaking exercise, this study intends to ascertain the association between language anxiety and speaking performance among undergraduate and graduate students. Frequency count, percent, mean, and Kruskal Wallis were used as statistical techniques to total, tabulate, and further analyze and interpret scores. An extensive, unstructured phenomenological interview with the students was undertaken to ascertain the causes of their language anxiety, and the thematic analysis was carried out using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Students did less satisfactorily in speaking performances and were found to be moderately worried. Language anxiety and speaking abilities, particularly in vocabulary and comprehension, are significantly correlated. This is ascribed to error-causing factors such as the impact of the native language on the second language, lack of confidence, anxiety about communicating, and fear of being evaluated. This study concluded that speaking performance could be predicted using linguistic anxiety. Particularly in understanding and vocabulary, the worried learner frequently performed worse than the native speaker when speaking in English. According to this study, students who are really worried about language should receive training. Teachers can provide straightforward, captivating, varied, and entertaining oral tasks that will give pupils the chance to speak English freely.
Le nom propre « Jéhovah » chez les auteurs français du XIXe siècle
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, Elongo Arsène
Published: September 2022

This article discusses the proper name 'Jehovah' in nineteenth-century French authors. Our aim is to study such a name as a rhetorical feature of narrative and poetic modernity in French literature. Thus, our corpus is limited to authors in whom the use of this name is identified. To this end, the criteria of the enunciative approach allow us to analyse this proper name in relation to the cultural and ideological competences of authors such as Lamartine, Hugo, Flaubert, Gauthier and Balzac. The expected results are based on the literary uses of the proper name "Jehovah" which are built on the stylistic procedures of intertextuality, polyphony, persuasion and tropes. Keywords: Jehovah, Intertextuality; Polyphony; Tropes; Metaphor and Persuasion
Caractérisation stylistique de la métaphore adjectivale dans La Semaine Africaine
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, Nguiene Bilongo Brèche Pachel
Published: September 2022

This article examines the stylistic characterisation of adjectival metaphor in journalistic expression. The aim is to analyse three functional contexts of adjectives that create a particularity of style in journalists' writing: the art of criticizing, representing and characterizing current events and facts. In order to deal with adjectives, we have used a corpus collected in the Semaine Africaine. Thus, the aim is to show that adjectival metaphor has a descriptive and persuasive motivation and that it generates stylistic effects in journalistic language. In the application of pragmatics, our results showed that adjectival metaphor offers journalists an expressive, aesthetic, sincere and photographic style and that it becomes a practice of argumentation in the Congolese written press.

Published: September 2022

With the emblematic figures of false doctors, the rereading of The imaginary patient (2012) and The Doctor despite him (2018) reveals a reality corroborating medical imposture through false doctors. The theatrical piece synthesizes a certain number of real facts, which accentuate the doubt on medicine; and the inability of science to overcome human disaster. Illness, like the current covid-19 pandemic, constitutes in theatrical poetics a comic variation on the theme of human ignorance. Our article is part of a hermeneutic approach and is inspired by the socio-analytical approach of Pierre Bourdieu, based on the interpretation of the sociolects and idiolects present in the work. A way of understanding the symbolic significance of a discourse of fear and hope in the theatrical environment. The study on the figure of the fake doctor in the era of covid-19 aims primarily to go beyond the discursive framework of a comic fable for an ethical reflection on man and his faith in science. Keywords: doctors, theatre, patients, covid-19, pandemic.

Perseroan memegang peran penting dalam dunia usaha yang dianggap sebagai subjek hukum yang dapat melakukan Tindakan hukumsebagaimana subjek hukum yang lian (perorangan). Sebagai subjek hukum, perseroan tentunya memiliki hak dan kewajiban yang dijalankan oleh organ-organ perseroan itu sendiri yang terdiri dari RUPS, Direksi dan Komisaris. Organ-organ perseroan tersebut memiliki tugas dan tanggung jawab masing-masing yang diatur dalam ADRT Perseroan. Dalam menjalankan aktifitas usaha, perseroan dijalankan oleh Direksi sebagai pihak yang mewakili perseroan baik di dalam maupun di luar pengadilan dibawah kendali RUPS oleh Komisaris yang tanggung jawabnya dibatasi bukan sebagai tindakan pribadi. Permasalahan yang diangkat dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimanakah tanggung jawab pribadi seseorang yang menjabat komisaris dan direksi atas harta kekayaan pribadi jika terjadi kerugian dalam mengelola perseroan (perusahaan). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauhmana dapat ditariknya tanggung jawab pribadi seseorang yang menjabat komisaris dan direksi atas harta kekayaan pribadi jika terjadi kerugian dalam mengelola perseroan dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif dengan menggunakan literatur buku atau kepustakan dan peraturan perundang-undangan sebagi bahan utama penulisan. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa Komisaris atau Dewan Komisaris dan Dewana Direksi atau Direksi tidak dapat dimintai pertanggung jawaban atas harta kekayaan pribadinya sepanjang dalam melakukan pengurusan perseroan dilakukan sesuai tugas dan tanggung jawabannya secara sungguh-sungguh dan penuh tanggung jawab serta itikad baik. Jika dalam mengelola perseroan telah menimbulkan kerugian bagi pihak ketiga atau debitur akibat dari Tindakan perseroan tetapi dikemudian hari ternyata Tindakan perseroan yang merugikan kepentingan pihak ketiga tersebut dapat dibuktikan bahwa Komisaris atau Dewan Komisaris dan Dewana Direksi atau Direksi telah melakukan kesalah atau Tindakan pengelolaan dengan itikad tidak baik, maka tanggung jawab terbatas yang dianut dalam perseroan dapat diterobos dan Komisaris atau Dewan Komisaris dan Dewana Direksi atau Direksi dapat dimintakan pertanggung jawaban sampai kepada harta kekayaan pribadi Komisaris atau Dewan Komisaris dan Dewana Direksi atau Direksi.

A method of identifying banks’ business models and studying the features of their risk profile, considering the system of indicators featuring the structure of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and other qualitative indicators based on monthly statistical reporting. Kohonen's self-organizing maps (SOM) are used to process large data sets, revealing objects’ hidden features by forming homogeneous groups according to similar values of a large system of indicators. The choice of the system of indicators that play the most significant role in describing the business models of modern banks is substantiated. The proposed method makes it possible to group banks with homogeneous characteristics into so-called structural-functional groups and studies the change in the characteristics of groups of banks over time to compare their behavior during periods of active development of the system and during a crisis. That approach is useful for studying the banking system at the macro level, as it provides a quantitative measure of its financial stability. The more banks are in groups with negative values of parameters, increased risks, and unprofitable performance, the worse the general state of the system. The method also allows studying the features of each structural and functional group and the business models’ features at the meso-level. The number and composition of banks inherent in any group change dynamically, which characterizes the features of the relevant business model in a particular period. The averages of each group reflect the objective changes in the banking system structure. In addition, the SOM trajectory can be built for each individual bank determining the development of its strategy, features of a particular business model, and risk profile. At the micro-level, it allows comparing the features of individual banks within the SFGB and models ways to improve efficiency and financial stability by forecast values for SOM. An extensive system of indicators used to form structural and functional groups of banks allows to quickly respond to changes in the banking system, identify areas of increased risk and explore the adequacy and effectiveness of banks’ business models.

The current market economy implies that the search for effective sources of financing the fixed assets reproduction is one of the key tasks in managing the fixed capital of the economic entity. In the changing external environment, modernized equipment of enterprises provides an opportunity to carry out innovative activities, as well as to implement investment projects. The aim of the research was to outline a modern approach to financing the reproduction of fixed assets based on the identification of the relationship between investments and innovations in this process. The research involved the following methods: analysis and synthesis to determine trends in the dynamics of capital investment in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland; regression analysis to forecast the capital investment volume in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland; the internal rate of return to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovation and investment project of a woodworking enterprise. Capital investment volumes in Ukraine and Poland are determined. The 2025 capital investment volume is projected at $8.02 billion in Ukraine (provided a stable rate of further economic decline), and at $110.2 billion in the Republic of Poland. The strategic priorities for the development of woodworking enterprises are outlined: the production of innovative products; implementation of effective solutions for products and markets provided full implementation of innovation and investment strategy; focus on current market needs; ensuring a minimum degree of risk with maximum control of the innovation and investment project; achieving a short-term return on investment with maximum liquidity of the project and the implementation of innovation and investment strategy. An innovation and investment project was developed for the production re-equipment to create an innovative model of interior doors, and its economic justification was carried out.

In times of globalisation and post-pandemic, it is the availability of advanced technologies, their effective use is a determining factor in economic growth. The process of transferring innovative technologies is associated with a significant level of risk, which negatively affects the economic, social and technical, and technological development of the economy of any country in the world. Thus, the study aims to develop an algorithm for managing key risks that arise in the exchange of technology in the scientific and educational environment in the context of the internationalisation of science. In turn, the risk analysis became the basis for developing proposals to eliminate probabilistic barriers, such as limited information, shortage of qualified personnel, low government activity, lack of business interest in high-cost and high-risk science-intensive projects, and the uncertainty of potential demand for new technology among consumers. The hypotheses proposed by the authors proved that educational collaborations, marketing intelligence, and the use of professional networking platforms are both sources of potential risks for technology transfer in scientific circles and the driver of its development. The theoretical and practical value of the research results is that they allow forming a theoretical and practical basis for the formation of the methodological paradigm of risk management of internationalisation of technology transfer, taking into account the peculiarities of the domestic economy and global challenges.

The study of the impact of digital social media on the development of entrepreneurial innovation projects of different levels is topical. The aim of the study was to create a conceptual approach to assessing the impact of digital social media on innovative business development, regardless of the legal form of organization. Therefore, a new concept of mediatization was identified in the course of the research, which describes the role of different digital media as part of the process of communicative construction of the economic, social and cultural environment. The research involved the methodology for data analysis from an empirical context. The start-up incubator — Neudali, Germany — was the practical background of the research. The research sample included all start-ups (innovative projects) that were launched in 2017-2020 (3,426 projects), regardless of whether they continue as start-ups or have already entered the serial production stage. The research objective was fulfilled through the methods and tools of economic and statistical analysis, forecasting and business simulation. Studies have confirmed that the legal form of organization does not affect the project’s success, but only the assessment of information effects (mediatization effect) does, which includes all forms of communication in social networks (R2=0.8 for companies and R2=0.6 for self-employed persons). In theoretical terms, this study has bridged the gap in the literature regarding the lack of research on the role of social media in the innovation potential of both companies and self-employed individuals. In practical terms, this research has implications for various stakeholders, primarily businesses, academics and consumers.

Today, there are problems of increasing economic, social, and financial stability and environmental protection (security) in Ukraine, and they are extremely relevant and important. They necessitate the solution of complex tasks aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of communities by means of effective state policy. The article summarizes and develops an approach to the realization of the national interests of Ukraine in the context of the continuous development of communities. It has received international recognition and is thus a system of views on the movement of economies and communities as their consistent interaction with each other and with nature. Today, it is recognized as a valuable model of the future world civilization, which marks the latest state of social development and is recognized as post-industrial. The theory and practice of sustainable development is a reflection of the objective need for economic reorientation and all social development with urgent consideration of the preservation of natural and human opportunities for current and future generations. For Ukraine, especially in view of its integration policy, the introduction of the concept of sustainable development acquires not only scientific but also political relevance and is one of the significant aspects of improving the efficiency of municipal self-government and achieving the best results. Thus, among the criteria of sustainable development of regions, it is expedient to include the criteria of municipal self-government activities, which would contribute to the dynamic and sustainable development of municipal entities, but the basic and optimal level of implementation of ideas and national interests of sustainable development is the municipal level. Therefore, local authorities should ensure the sustainable development of communities, taking into account the principles of local self-government and creating conditions for the transfer of a minimum economic, ecological and social debt to future generations.
