The pandemic that occurred in Indonesia has not yet subsided and far from under control. Indonesian Ministry of Health is most appropriate person to responsible for providing an explanation of actual situation and extent to which state has handled it. However, he has rarely appeared in public lately to explain about handling of Covid-19 pandemic. In response, many people are pros and cons come to give their opinions and feedback. The increasing use of internet during pandemic, especially on social media, where one of them is Twitter, which is a means of expressing opinions. Posting tweets is a community habit to assess or respond to events, as well as represent public's response to an event, especially Ministry of Health steps and policies in handling and breaking chain of Covid-19 pandemic.The tweet posts were taken only in Indonesian-language and also related to performance of Government, especially Ministry of Health. After that, a label is given so that sentiment of tweets is known. To test results of these sentiments, an algorithm is used by comparing two methods of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naïve Bayes (NB). Validation was carried out using k-Fold Cross Validation to obtain an accuracy value. The results show that accuracy value for NB algorithm is 66.45% and SVM algorithm has a greater accuracy value of 72.57%. So it can be seen that SVM algorithm managed to get the best accuracy value in classifying positive comments and negative comments related to sentiment analysis towards Ministry of Health. Keywords—Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Analisis sentimen, K-Fold Cross Validation

Rethinking the Origins and Purpose of Religion: Jesus, Constantine, and the Containment of Global Revolution
Authors: Sosteric Mike
Published: November 2021

For sociologists, Jesus Christ and the associated Catholic Church are generally seen are regressive, conservative, and authoritarian. For this reason, Sociologists avoid reading the Bible as a textual research source. Overcoming sociological resistance, however and examining the Christian New Testament reveals a story much different than expected. While the Church may certainly be conservative, regressive, authoritarian, even predatorial, Jesus Christ and his apostles were not. Exegesis of Christian gospels reveals not a gentle shepherd of sheeple, but a revolutionary Christ that is neither conservative, gentle, nor passive—an impassioned and committed revolutionary set on progressive social change and fundamental revision of elite power structures. Keywords: Religion, Christianity, Jesus Christ, Critical theory, Narrative analysis.

Abstraksi Bangsa Indonesia dikenal sebagai bangsa yang majemuk, ditandai dengan banyaknya etnis, suku, agama, bahasa, budaya, dan adat-istiadat. Dengan adanya toleransi maka akan dapat melestarikan persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa, mendukung dan menyukseskan pembangunan, serta menghilangkan kesenjangan. Hubungan antar umat beragama didasarkan pada prinsip persaudaraan yang baik, bekerjasama untuk menghadapi musuh dan membela golongan yang menderita. Penyebaran virus yang tak pernah disangka (atau tidak pernah diantisipasi) sampai di Indonesia hingga kini masih terus berlanjut secara massif sejak kasus pertama diumumkan pada 2 Maret 2020. Untuk mengatasi kesusahan masyarakat terdampak Covid-19, maka pemerintah Indonesia telah membuat suatu kebijakan pemberian bantuan sosial (bansos) bagi penduduk Indonesia. Pengertian Bantuan sosial adalah pemberian bantuan berupa uang/barang dari pemerintah daerah kepada individu, keluarga, kelompok dan/atau masyarakat yang sifatnya tidak secara terus menerus dan selektif yang bertujuan untuk melindungi dari kemungkinan terjadinya risiko sosial. Sedangkan pengertian bantuan sosial menurut Peraturan Menteri Keuangan Nomor 254/PMK.05/2015 tentang Belanja Bantuan Sosial pada Kementerian Negara/Lembaga adalah pengeluaran berupa transfer uang, barang atau jasa yang diberikan oleh Pemerintah kepada masyarakat miskin atau tidak mampu guna melindungi masyarakat dari kemungkinan terjadinya risiko sosial, meningkatkan kemampuan ekonomi dan/atau kesejahteraan masyarakat.

Pleasure, reward value and prediction error in anhedonia
Authors: Kieslich Karel , Valton Vincent , Roiser Jonathan Paul
Published: November 2021

In order to develop effective treatments for anhedonia we need to understand its underlying neurobiological mechanisms. Anhedonia is conceptually strongly linked to reward processing, which involves a variety of cognitive and neural operations. This article reviews the evidence for impairments in experiencing hedonic response (pleasure), reward valuation, and reward learning based on outcomes (commonly conceptualised in terms of “reward prediction error”). Synthesizing behavioural and neuroimaging findings, we examine case-control studies of patients with depression and schizophrenia, including those focusing specifically on anhedonia. Overall, there is reliable evidence that depression and schizophrenia are associated with disrupted reward processing. In contrast to the historical definition of anhedonia, there is surprisingly limited evidence for impairment in the ability to experience pleasure in depression and schizophrenia. There is some evidence that learning about reward and reward prediction error signals are impaired in depression and schizophrenia, but the literature is inconsistent. The strongest evidence is for impairments in the representation of reward value and how this is used to guide action. Future studies would benefit from focusing on impairments in reward processing specifically in anhedonic samples, including transdiagnostically, and from using designs separating different components of reward processing, formulating them in computational terms, and moving beyond cross-sectional designs to provide an assessment of causality.
People and paradigms: mental networks and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex
Authors: Friesen Lorin
Published: November 2021

A mental network can be thought of as an emotionally imposed schema. The first part of this paper suggests that the mental network provides an integrated explanation for the diverse functions of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and that mental networks provide the building blocks for self and Theory of Mind. The second part of the paper combines the mental network with the idea that theories generate emotions to provide an integrated explanation for paradigms, ideologies, sweeping statements, mysticism, theology, fundamentalism, conspiracy theories, and various concepts of God.
COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE PROCESSES IN CHILDREN’S THIRD-PARTY PUNISHMENT
Authors: Arini Rhea Luana , Aljure Juliana Bocarejo , Bueno Nereida , González Clara Bayón , Alba Estrella Fernández , Fernández Natalia Suárez , Ingram Gordon , Wiggs Luci , Kenward Ben
Published: November 2021

This study investigated how children’s punishment affective states change over time, as well as when children begin to prioritise intentions over outcomes in their punishment decisions. Whereas most prior research sampled children from Anglo-America or Northwestern Europe, we tested 5- to 11-year-old children from Colombia and Spain (N = 123). We focused on punishment behaviour in response to ostensibly real moral transgressions, rather than punishment recommendations for hypothetical moral transgressions. We employed moral scenarios involving disloyalty (group-focused moral domain) and unfairness (individual-focused moral domain). Regarding punishment affective states, on average children did not derive much enjoyment from administering punishment, nor did they anticipate that punishment would feel good. Thus, children did not make the same emotional forecasting error adults commonly commit. Regarding the cognitive integration of outcomes and intentions, children began to punish failed intentional transgressions more harshly than accidental transgression, in both disloyalty and unfairness scenarios, much earlier than in previous behavioural studies: around 7 years of age rather than in late adolescence. This could be due to the lower processing demands and higher intention salience of our paradigm. Exploratory analyses revealed that children showed higher concern for disloyalty than unfairness. Punishment of disloyalty remained relatively stable in severity with increasing age, while punishment of unfairness decreased in severity. This suggests that the relative importance of moral concerns for the individual vs. the group may shift because of culture-directed learning processes.

Authors: Zhou Felix , Lightfoot Christopher B , Williams Geoff , Zhu Julie H
Published: November 2021

A 33-year-old male with no relevant medical history presented with a few months of fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance and was found to have iron-deficiency anemia. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a cluster of isolated gastric fundal varices with high-risk stigmata. Serologic workup for cirrhosis was negative, and a FibroScan measured liver stiffness at 4.2 kilopascals. Computed tomography (CT) of his abdomen and pelvis showed non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, as well as the presence of a splenic arteriovenous (AV) fistula and splenic artery aneurysm (SAA). Resection of the fistula, SAA, and spleen completely resolved the gastric varices and anemia.

Published: November 2021

This article characterizes and evaluates the development of an accredited, in-house faculty-based teaching recognition scheme aimed at supporting clinicians and academics to achieve Advance HE Fellowship recognition. The scheme takes 6 to 24 months to complete and forms part of an institution-wide scheme. The evaluation covered 44 months collecting data on participation rates across the school and 21 semi-structured interviews across 16 staff participants. We describe the outcomes measured alongside key perceived benefits and challenges to support the implementation of similar schemes elsewhere. Across 130 academic staff, there was 61% engagement. In interviews, 11 participants characterized benefits in terms of changes to their teaching, such as adopting new strategies for differing class sizes, and highlighted the benefit of accessible and context-specific development opportunities designed specifically for STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) practitioners and clinicians. Motivations for participating were mainly intrinsic (69%), with international professional recognition also featured (61%, n = 10). Of the 23 participants who withdrew, the largest subgroup (39%) withdrew because they had left the institution, and 35% withdrew because of a lack of time, which encompassed a range of issues. We outline recommendations for implementing similar schemes including protected time, accessible development opportunities, and support for mentors.
CHOICE OF REVASCULARIZATION TECHNIQUE IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC DIABETIC FOOT
Authors: Shapovalov D.
Published: November 2021

Background

Ischemic diabetic foot is determined by trophic disorders of the foot due to a combination of atherosclerosis of the arteries and diabetic lesions. In the United States and some European countries, among major non-traumatic amputations, amputations in patients with diabetes are 45-70%. The use of revascularization can significantly improve the results of treatment of patients with diabetic foot. Features of ischemic diabetic foot require a separate approach to revascularization. There are no generally accepted guidelines for revascularization in diabetic foot in the world today. The choice of revascularization technique remains an open question.

The aim of the study.

To analyze the effectiveness of differentiated application of intervention techniques of revascularization for the treatment of ischemic diabetic foot.

Steps of differentiated choice of revascularization

We identified seven steps: determination of indications for revascularization,

determination of the critical arterial segment. the level of hemodynamic compensation, determination of the feasibility of revascularization, the choice of revascularization technique, the perform revascularization, the active postoperative monitoring.

Materials and methods

Diabetic ischemic foot was diagnosed in 133 observations. 123 revascularizations of 94 lower extremities were performed in 91 patients with ischemic diabetic foot. Patients underwent angioplasty, surgical revascularization or hybrid intervention.

Results

Revascularization was performed in revascularization was performed in 92,4% of patients with ischemic diabetic foot. Amputation-free survival was noted in 85.4% of cases, wound-healing in 62.6%, preservation of foot support function in 79.7%, avoidance of repeated interventions in 78.9%. 5 (5.5%) patients died, 2 of them (2.2:%) within 30 days after revascularization.

Conclusions: Differentiated choice of revascularization technique allows to increase the number of patients to be revascularized 92,4%, to reach of the level amputation-free survival to 85,4%, to reach of the level wound-healing to 62,6%, to salvage of foot support function to 79,7%, to perform revascularizations in patients with a high probability of limb amputation.

The aim of the study. To prevent the development of postoperative thrombosis of the reconstruction segment after endovascular and hybrid revascularization of the femoral-distal arterial portion in the conditions of stenotic-occlusive process of the tibial arteries by forming functionally capable pathways in the tibial segment.

                Materials and methods. The results of treatment 135 patients with atherosclerotic occlusive-stenotic lesions of the infrainguinal arterial segment of the lower extremities were analyzed. According to the severity violation of chronic arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities, grade IIB was detected in 50 (37.04%) patients, grade III - in 63 (46.66%) examinee, grade IV- in 22 (16.30%) examinee. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group I included 61 (45.19%) patients with occlusal-stenotic lesions at the level of the infrainguinal segment, who underwent only endovascular correction of the peripheral arterial portion, the second group consisted of 74 (54.81%) patients with multilevel occlusive-stenotic lesions of the infrainguinal arterial segment which was performed hybrid arterial reconstruction.

                Results and discussion. The proposed tactic involves endovascular angioplasty of at least two tibial arteries. During revascularization of 135 patients by endovascular (61 supervision) and hybrid (74 supervision) methods of a femoral-distal arterial blood flow under conditions of arterial sclerotic disease of tibial arteries carried out in 115 (85,18%) patients endovascular dilatation of two arteries.

Thrombosis of the reconstruction segment in the postoperative period was finding in 9 (6.67%) cases: when using endovascular and hybrid revascularization methods, respectively - in 4 (6.56%) and 5 (6.76%) cases. Thrombosis of the reconstruction segment in the early postoperative period in 8 cases developed after endovascular angioplasty of one of the tibial arteries and only in 1 observation after endovascular angioplasty of 2 tibial arteries.

                Conclusion. Reconstruction of outflow pathways at the tibial arterial segment with occlusive-stenotic lesions of the infranguinal arterial portion during endovascular and hybrid techniques of revascularization by performing angioplasty of the two tibial arteries of the tibia can provide a positive result of revascularization in the early postoperative period, respectively in 95.08% and 95.95% of cases.

Introduction: is to analyze the economic indicators of different types of surgical treatment of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia.

Materials and methods. were analyzed 173 cases of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia, of which 93 underwent arterial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and 80 bypass surgery of the affected vessels. For this an original model of determining the value of medical care was used. It included the determination of costs that was given as a payment for medical workers, material and technical costs, the surgical interventions costs, the drugs that were used, additional examinations, and etc.

Results. Economic analysis of costs per average patient that underwent PTA was UAH 5025.85, and bypass surgery UAH 4351.1. However,analyzing the results of treatment showed that there are small differences between the two methods, in particular a larger number of patients with diabetes.

Conclusions. Both methods of treatment gave almost the same result in terms of the cost of treatment, which requires consideration of other factors, especially the clinical course of the disease.

Great powers characteristically possess military and economic strength, which inspires states to enhance influence in strategically important regions. The Middle East region has always remained the centre of attraction for major powers due to its geostrategic importance and huge energy resources. The civil war in Syria is a prolonged armed conflict that began in 2011. U.S and Russia, being involved from the beginning in the conflict, have different interests and campaigns. Over the last four decades, another most important region has become a source of turmoil and unease, Afghan crises in the region that has always persisted as the source of concern for the global powers and a cornerstone for regional powers. Moscow's mistake to intervene in Afghanistan revealed its unassailable vulnerability. After the Soviet Union disintegration, Kabul has again become the focal point of US policy in the region post 9/11 terror attacks.

OBJECTIVE

Widespread use of modern neuroimaging has led to a surge in diagnosing pediatric brain incidentalomas. Thalamic lesions have unique characteristics such as deep location, surgical complexity, and proximity to eloquent neuronal structures. Currently, the natural course of incidental thalamic lesions is unknown. Therefore, the authors present their experience in treating such lesions.

METHODS

A retrospective, international multicenter study was carried out in 8 tertiary pediatric centers from 5 countries. Patients were included if they had an incidental thalamic lesion suspected of being a tumor and were diagnosed before the age of 20 years. Treatment strategy, imaging characteristics, pathology, and the outcome of operated and unoperated cases were analyzed.

RESULTS

Overall, 58 children (23 females and 35 males) with a mean age of 10.8 ± 4.0 years were included. The two most common indications for imaging were nonspecific reasons (n = 19; e.g., research and developmental delay) and headache unrelated to small thalamic lesions (n = 14). Eleven patients (19%) underwent early surgery and 47 were followed, of whom 10 underwent surgery due to radiological changes at a mean of 11.4 ± 9.5 months after diagnosis. Of the 21 patients who underwent surgery, 9 patients underwent resection and 12 underwent biopsy. The two most frequent pathologies were pilocytic astrocytoma and WHO grade II astrocytoma (n = 6 and n = 5, respectively). Three lesions were high-grade gliomas.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study indicate that pediatric incidental thalamic lesions include both low- and high-grade tumors. Close and long-term radiological follow-up is warranted in patients who do not undergo immediate surgery, as tumor progression may occur.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, the authors sought to investigate variables associated with postoperative seizures following endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) for treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis of 37 patients who underwent ETV/CPC for treatment of hydrocephalus at an academic medical center from September 2016 to March 2021 was conducted. Demographics, etiology of hydrocephalus, operative details, electroencephalography (EEG) data, MRI findings, need for subsequent procedures, perioperative laboratory tests, medical history, and presence of clinical postoperative seizures were collected. Postoperative seizures were defined as clinical seizures within 24 hours of surgery. Eighteen patients received levetiracetam intraoperatively as well as over the next 7 days postoperatively for seizure prophylaxis.

RESULTS

Of 37 included patients, 9 (24%) developed clinical seizures within 24 hours after surgery, 5 of whom subsequently had electroclinical seizures captured on video-EEG. The clinical seizures in 4 of those 5 patients (80%) may have been associated with the hemisphere of the brain through which the endoscope was introduced. The median corrected age of the cohort was 3.4 months. The median corrected age of patients who did not develop postoperative seizures was 2.3 months compared with 0.7 months for patients who did develop postoperative seizures (p > 0.99). Postoperative seizures occurred in 43% (3/7) of prenatally repaired myelomeningocele patients versus 29% (2/7) of postnatally repaired myelomeningocele patients. Of the 18 patients who received prophylactic levetiracetam, none (0%) developed postoperative seizures compared with 9 of the 19 patients (47%) who did not receive prophylactic levetiracetam (p = 0.014).

CONCLUSIONS

Postoperative seizures were recorded in 24% of the pediatric patients who underwent ETV/CPC for hydrocephalus, which is higher than previously reported rates in the literature of 5%. Since 80% of the postoperative electrographic seizures may have been associated with the hemisphere through which the endoscope was introduced, the surgical entry site may contribute to postoperative seizure development. In patients who received prophylactic perioperative levetiracetam, the postoperative seizure incidence dropped to 0% compared with 47% in those who did not receive prophylactic perioperative levetiracetam. This finding indicates that the use of prophylactic perioperative levetiracetam may be efficacious in the prevention of clinical seizures in this patient population.
Prawne aspekty honorowania i posługiwania się papieskimi orderami i odznaczeniami w Polsce
Authors: Tabaszewski Robert
Published: November 2021

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie genezy oraz prawnych aspektów honorowania, a także nadawania i posługiwania się papieskimi odznaczeniami w Polsce. Analizie poddano regulacje prawne ukształtowane w wyniku reform Piusa X z 1905 r., Pawła VI z 1966 r. i Jana Pawła II z 1993 r. Przepisy te zestawiono z utartą praktyką papieską, zwyczajami międzynarodowymi oraz polskim ustawodawstwem. Uznano, że obecnie ukształtowany, skomplikowany system odznaczeniowy Stolicy Apostolskiej przeszedł głęboką ewolucję. Wykładni poddano polskie przepisy rangi konstytucyjnej i ustawowej, uzależniające otrzymanie papieskich znaków zaszczytnych, jako odznaczeń zagranicznych, od uprzedniej zgody wyrażonej przez prezydenta RP. Wykazano, że obecnie, w odróżnieniu od czasów komunistycznych, polskie przepisy uznają papieski system odznaczeniowy bez żadnych wyłączeń i ograniczeń podmiotowych, przedmiotowych i funkcjonalnych. Również praktyka polityczna jest życzliwa nadaniom papieskim, co wyraża się m.in. w zasadzie pierwszeństwa papieskich odznaczeń przed odznaczeniami innych państw. Wymieniono również najważniejsze zasady posługiwania się papieskimi znakami zaszczytnymi w Polsce.
Czy miesięcznice smoleńskie były uroczystościami religijnymi? Prawo a polska kultura religijna
Authors: Pasek Zbigniew
Published: November 2021

Na przykładzie konfliktów wokół Miesięcznic Smoleńskich z 2017 r. Autor omawia problem uwzględniania w sprawach toczonych z art. 196 Kodeksu karnego (dot. obrazy uczuć religijnych) tradycji polskiej kultury religijnej. Stosując jako analogię zasadę „obrony z kultury” (cultural defense) Autor przywołuje historyczne korzenie polskiej tradycyjnej religijności, której główne cechy ukształtowały się w dobie baroku (sarmatyzmu). Jedną z najważniejszych cech tej religijności jest ścisłe połączenie sfery religii i polityki. Brak państwowości w okresie zaborów i PRL wzmocnił, podobnie jak w kulturze diasporalnego judaizmu, związek między religią i pozareligijnymi dziedzinami życia. Autor sugeruje rozważenie czynnika kulturowego podczas analizowania spraw o obrazę uczuć religijnych, które współcześnie rodzą się z powodu kurczenia się dominującego charakteru tego typu kultury. Zderzenie się jej z liberalnym i lewicowym dziedzictwem oświecenia (które determinuje współczesną kulturę prawną Polski) doprowadza do licznych konfliktów, które polegają na narastaniu różnic w zakresie wrażliwości symbolicznej i postrzegania fundamentów aksjologicznych Państwa. Różnice te ilustruje Preambuła do obecnej Konstytucji.
Повышение скорости регистрации эхосигналов ультразвуковой антенной решеткой за счет оптимального прореживания коммутационной матрицы с помощью генетического алгоритма

To increase the speed of recording echo signals and increase the speed of image recovery of reflectors, it is proposed to use a thinned switching matrix (SMC). To obtain a switching matrix that allows to obtain images minimally different from the image obtained by the full switching matrix (FMC), it is proposed to use a genetic algorithm. Two variants of optimization of the switching matrix are considered: element-wise thinning and column thinning. Numerical and model experiments have shown that a thinned switching matrix determined using a genetic algorithm, filled by 25%, allows the formation of images that differ from the image obtained by FMC, with an error of about 3%. Working with the switching matrix by columns allows you to increase the speed of recording echo signals by 4 times. The speed of image recovery increases by the same number of times.
