Safeguarding concerns, practices, and resources in COVID-19 mutual aid groups
Authors: Mao Guanlan , Drury John , Lowther Lydia , Perach Rotem
Published: November 2022

Community mutual aid groups that sprang up during the COVID-19 pandemic were able to respond flexibly to local needs. Their informal character built trust with local communities, but also meant an absence of formal regulation and hence potential issues around safeguarding. However, there has been little research on COVID mutual aid groups’ safeguarding practices. In the present study, eight organizers of COVID mutual aid groups in the UK describe their group’s concerns, and existing safeguarding resources, and resources they would find useful in the future. Groups often created their own policies, training, reference materials, and safeguarding roles as a way of implementing safeguarding measures. Interviewees expressed three types of concerns around safeguarding: protection from harm (of both volunteers and members of the public), retaining character of mutual aid, and making appropriate referrals. The solutions suggested by interviewees included educational materials, training, funding, consultation, a signposting database, and a forum for COVID mutual aid groups. Some of these needs could be provided by developing relationships with formal community groups. This study suggests some of the mechanisms whereby informal community support groups can retain their grassroots identity and yet protect the health, wellbeing and rights of volunteers and those they work with.
Inflation Caused by Remittance in Nepalese Economy
Authors: Nepal Netra Prasad
Published: November 2022

Present paper aims at identifying the impact of remittance on inflation in Nepalese economy through econometric methodology such as Cointegration test, Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) and Granger Causality tests. Using annual data series from 1990/91 to 2018/19, the variables under study are found to be cointegrated as reported by Johansen’s cointegration test. The VECM also shows the short run and long run relationship between the variables. The Granger Causality test shows the uni-directional causality from remittance to inflation. Present paper focuses on the emphasis of using remittance on capital formation. The returned migrants are to be provided soft loans to establish domestic and small-scale industries. The returned migrants are to be encouraged to forced saving.

Authors: Liz Maria Joseph  , Sheeja Sainulabdeen  , Sujatha Deepa , Sankar Sundaram
Published: November 2022

Background: Fluid cytology plays an important role in delineating benign from malignant effusions, tumor staging, and also in diagnosing recurrences. Various methods are used in cytology for the preparation of smears. As the accurate diagnosis of the fluids aids in clinical decisions, the method of preparation of cytology smears, it is very important. Cytospin preparation of smears is one of the methods which provide higher cellular yield with better preservation of cellular morphology and is less time consuming. On the other hand, cell block method gives superior architectural details and provides options for immunocytochemistry.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of cytospin in comparison to cell block method in peritoneal and pleural fluid cytology. The study is done to determine the sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and diagnostic accuracy of cytospin preparations with cell block method which is considered as the gold standard.
Materials and Methods: This was a diagnostic test evaluation study done at the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Kottayam. The sample size was 240 which included all pleural and peritoneal fluids received in our cytology laboratory during the study period. Cytospin prepared smears of peritoneal and pleural fluids were compared with the tissue sections prepared by cell block method, to evaluate the diagnostic utility of cytospin. Tissue sections prepared from the cell blocks of effusions were considered as the gold standard for comparison.
Results: A diagnostic test evaluation of cytospin preparation was done with cell block preparations. The sensitivity of cytopsin preparations in pleural and peritoneal fluid cytology is 94%. The specificity of cytopsin preparations in pleural and peritoneal fluid cytology is 100%. The positive predictive value of cytopsin preparations in pleural and peritoneal fluid cytology is 100% and the negative predictive value of cytopsin preparations in pleural and peritoneal fluid cytology is 96.8%. Hence, accuracy of the test is 97.9%.
Conclusion: There is only minimal statistical difference between the results obtained by the cytospin and cell block methods. Cytospin method is less time consuming along with the advantage of higher cellular yield. Hence, the incorporation of cytospin along with the cell block technique is beneficial for augmenting the results of effusion cytology.

Authors: Sai Phanindra Malladi  , Pamarthi Srinivas  , Raju Byshetty
Published: November 2022

Background: The elbow is a synovial hinge joint, with a high chance of stiffness. A stiff elbow is an elbow with a loss of extension of >30° and flexion of <120 which can result due to post-traumatic events around elbow. Surgical intervention is required if conservative treatment fails. The arthrolysis of the elbow by posterior approach has been reported less widely.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims at reporting the arc of motion of the elbow after arthrolysis by posterior approach by TRAP approach.
Material and Methods: This study was done on 26 patients with post-traumatic elbow stiffness through posterior triceps reflecting anconeus pedicle graft approach. The mean age of patients in our study is 30.8, ranging from 15 to 54 years. After surgery, patients were reviewed to assess arc of motion and fixed flexion deformity (FFD) improvement, MAYO and oxford score.
Results: Our study showed increase in arc of motion from 50.7° to 90.7°, FFD decrease from 31.3° to 18.2° and MAYO score which had a pre-operative mean of 77.3, increased to 90 postoperatively with excellent result in 18 cases (69.2%) and good in eight cases (30.8%). Oxford score had an improvement from 21.8 to 40.3 showing satisfactory result in 11 cases.
Conclusion: The approach described in our study is ideal for posterior bony blocks with maintaing intact extensor mechanism and less chance of neurovascular damage. Stability of the joint is maintained with feasability to do ulnar nerve transposition.
A comparative study between ultrasonography guided classical interscalene block plus superficial cervical plexus block versus low approach interscalene block plus superficial cervical plexus block in lateral one-third of clavicle and proximal humerus surgery
Authors: Biswas Rajasree , Mondal Priyanka , Nandy Sabyasachi
Published: November 2022

Background: Classical interscalene approach of brachial plexus block with superficial cervical plexus block has become the anesthetic technique of choice in the upper arm, shoulder, and clavicle surgery but there is high risk of complications and sparing of C8-T1 nerve roots. Here, we used low approach of interscalene block (ISB) with superficial cervical plexus block for lateral one-third of clavicle and proximal humerus surgeries. Previously, none of the study compare ultrasonography (USG) guided low ISB (LISB) to the conventional approach for lateral one-third of clavicle and proximal humerus surgeries.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare onset, duration, density of sensory-motor block, and severity of complication between ISB and LISB with superficial cervical plexus block.
Materials and Methods: Patients with fracture of lateral end of clavicle and proximal humerus of 18–60 years of 324, American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II patients, were randomly assigned into two groups ISBS and LISB with superficial cervical plexus block (LISBS) to find out the difference in density of sensory-motor blockade associated with any complications between two groups.
Results: The degree of the ulnar block after 5 and 15 min was found to be 2.8±2.6 and 1.1±1.8 in LISBS, respectively, for ISBS 3.0±1.5 and 1.8±2.0, respectively, based on a ten-point scale. After 15 min, motor block occurred in the median nerve in 151 patients out of 162 (92.8%), and in all of the other three nerves in all 162 patients. Horner syndrome and hoarseness were less frequent in LISB with superficial cervical plexus block patients than in ISB with superficial cervical plexus block patients (P=0.0009 and 0.003, respectively) which was statistically significant.
Conclusion: The present study confirmed the achievement of an appropriate sensory and motor block in the lateral one-third of clavicle with proximal humerus surgery, including the ulnar nerve with no complications than ISB.

Authors: Parul Singh  , Meenakshi Chauhan  , Verma Menka , Vani Malhotra  , Sushila Chaudhary  , Ruchi Yadav
Published: November 2022

Background: India is one of the most severely affected countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A higher risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19 had been observed in pregnant women as compared to nonpregnant women. The government of India on July 2, 2021, provided approval for the vaccination of pregnant women against COVID-19. A little data regarding the safety or harm during pregnancy of vaccination were available that time. Lack of safety data, fear, mistrust, underestimation of efficacy of vaccine, and chaos due to pandemic makes indecisive surrounding for pregnant women and this causes hesitancy with decision making about the COVID-19 vaccination.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims to analyze the willingness and hesitancy of pregnant women to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care institute in Northern India. Five hundred antenatal women who were eligible for COVID-19 vaccination were included in this study. Informed consent has been taken and data were analyzed after filling face to face questionnaire regarding vaccine acceptance or hesitancy.
Results: The present study revealed low acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy. Prime reasons for the same are no allowance by the family and the possibility of vaccine harming the baby.
Conclusion: Specific efforts should be directed toward high-risk populations including pregnant women and those who are planning for pregnancy. This will promote vaccination rates by increasing people’s trust in immunization and the health-care system.

Authors:   KOREA SOCIETY OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY, Yoo Han-Na , Lee Eun-Ju , Kim Yeong-Ran , Park Sang-Hyub
Published: November 2022

This study was based on the threshold-based volume cut method designed to measure the volume of the heart most accurately. The purpose of this study was to find out the changes in stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF) values according to the threshold change. Among the patients under the age of 15 who underwent the heart volumetric computed tomography (CT) examination in this hospital for one year from January to December 2020, 68 patients under the age of 15 were targeted. The SV and the EF according to the threshold value weight were calculated and compared through the data. The volume of the ventricle measured by applying weights from the existing threshold value became smaller as the ratio of the applied value increased from 10%. When 100% of the volume value was applied, the SV value of left ventricle calculated based on the value showed an average change of 43%, and the SV value of right ventricle showed an average change of 40.1%. EF showed a significant difference in all EF change values (EF 10% to EF 100%) in addition to the EF value obtained by the determined threshold. The setting of the threshold value that precedes the post-processing of cardiac volume CT has a great influence on the result value. As a result, diagnosis and treatment directions may vary, so it is considered that accurate segmentation criteria are needed.
The encyclopaedia of V. I. Belov’s That’s How It Is [Privychnoe delo]: A monograph
Authors: Sultanov K. K.
Published: November 2022

The Encyclopaedia of V. I. Belov’s ‘That’s How It Is’ [‘Privychnoe delo’] appeared fifty years after the novella’s publication in the Sever journal (1966). An exhaustive product of seven researchers, the monograph earned its place among such landmark philological projects as The Encyclopaedia of ‘The Tale of Igor’s Campaign’ [Entsiklopediya ‘Slova o polku Igoreve’], The Onegin Encyclopaedia [Oneginskaya entsiklopediya], and The Oblomov Encyclopaedia [Oblomovskaya entsiklopediya] currently in preparation by the Pushkin House. The scholarly commentary reconstructs an impressive context in its historical, cultural, social, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. The encyclopaedia’s lexical scope comprises thousands of vibrant words of the distinctive Vologda dialect. The spoken language functions in a literary space, evoking the ancient culture of Russian folk speech. The metaphysical inseparability of Life and Soul engenders Lad (a harmonising category crucial for the writer) that receives a lot of attention in the encyclopaedia as its key concept.

Тhe genotype of Kishmish No. 342 (Hungarian Kishmish), along with the manifestation of parthenocarpy in this variety, was studied. Тhe research included plants of the Kishmish grape variety No. 342 growing in the Anapa ampelographic collection. Тhe evaluation of the parthenocarpy category was carried out for three years; the results were compared with the data on weather conditions. Тhe mass of vestigial structures was determined by the extraction of the ovules from berries and their gradual dehydration in a drying cabinet until constant weight. DNA extraction was carried out using a CTAB buffer. Genetic studies were performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA profiling was performed using SSR markers (VVS2, VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD27, VVMD25, VVMD32, VrZAG62, VrZAG79) standard for DNA certification of grape varieties. Closely coupled microsatellite markers, including UDV305, UDV737 (Rpv3) and UDV343, UDV360 (Rpv12), SC8-0071-014, SC47-18 (Ren1), ScORGF15, were used to identify the allele status of gene loci resistance to mildew (Rpv3, Rpv12) and powdery mildew (Ren1, Ren3, Ren9).02, GF15-42 (Ren3) and CenGen6 (Ren9), recommended for such work. Тhe results of PCR analysis were evaluated by capillary electrophoresis using a Nanophor-05 sequencer. Тhe research results show the variation in the parthenocarpy classes from 2 to 4 under the weather and climate conditions of Anapa in 2019–2021; the largest mass of vestigial structures was observed for the year characterised by the hottest flowering conditions and the greatest heat summation prior to the flowering period. A DNA certificate of the Kishmish variety No. 342 was established (VVS2133 143 VVMD5236 238 VVMD7251 253 VVMD27182 182 VrZAG62188 194 VrZAG79247 255 VVMD25241 255 VVMD32240 272); the origin of the genotype (Villard blanc x Perlette) was confirmed according to DNA analysis. On the basis of the DNA marker analysis, the presence of gene loci resistant to mildew (Rpv3) and powdery mildew (Ren3 and Ren9) in the genotype of Kishmish No. 342 was shown.
From qasida to treatise: philosophical analysis of stories about the conference of the birds
Authors: Fedorova Yu. E.
Published: November 2022

The article traces the evolution of the “bird” topos (murgh) from its direct understanding (haqiqa) to the allegorical (majaz) in the most representative works of the Persian literary tradition of the 10th–12th centuries. The research involves methods of philological analysis, as well as the method of historical and philosophical reconstruction of the text. It was found, that in the early samples of the classical qasida by Rudaki and Manuchihri birds were one of the necessary elements for marking the “spring” theme. Later in qasidas of Sanai and Khaqani the topos “soul-bird” (murgh-i jan) was firmly entrenched in the poetic dictionary of Persian-speaking Sufis. In the texts of the Brethren of Purity the description of the properties of various animals and birds that entered into an dispute with a person provided the basis for discourse about the properties of the soul. This line was continued by Ahmad al-Ghazzali. In a treatise about bird-souls seeking to find their king, he presented a peculiar description of personal spiritual experience. As a result of the study, author identifies the main themes of the conference of the birds and Sufi concepts that are embodied in specific literary plots.
The heavenly feast in the medieval Coptic literature
Authors: Smagina E. B.
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the heavenly feast. This is a narrative found at least in two Coptic encomia, viz. to the Archangel Michael and to Four Living Creatures (Revelation 4:6-8). The publication comprises a translation into Russian of a narrative from the encomium to the Archangel Michael. The episode follows the same pattern. Eachdinner companion or a group of them (who in this given instance are Biblical characters or just Saints) is questioned about the reason for being so joyful at the feast. They respond with a story about how the Archangel Michael or the Four Living Creatures (namely those honoured at the feast) helped them. As a rule they quote a passage from the Scriptures or the Biblical Apocrypha, including those which have been lost. In conclusion, the Author traces the description (called in the article as "scheme") of the heavenly feast back to those Biblical passages, which deal with the liturgical and/ or Messianic joyful feast. The Author suggests that this kind of a narrative could well be a simplified form of the Ancient Greek philosophical dialogue.

OBJECTIVE

Recurrence of brain tumors in children after the initial course of treatment remains a problem. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of reirradiation using stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with recurrent pediatric primary brain tumors.

METHODS

This IRB-approved retrospective review included pediatric patients with recurrent primary brain tumors treated at Stanford University from 2000 to 2019 using frameless SRS. Time to local failure (LF) and distant intracranial failure (DIF) were measured from the date of SRS and analyzed using competing risk analysis. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method.

RESULTS

In total, 37 patients aged 2–24 years (median age 11 years at recurrence) were treated for 48 intracranial tumors. Ependymoma (38%) and medulloblastoma (22%) were the most common tumor types. The median (range) single fraction equivalent dose of SRS was 16.4 (12–24) Gy. The median (range) follow-up time was 22.9 (1.5–190) months. The median OS of all patients was 36.8 months. Eight of 40 (20%) lesions with follow-up imaging locally recurred. The 2-year cumulative incidence of LF after reirradiation with SRS was 12.8% (95% CI 4.6%–25.4%). The 2-year cumulative incidence of DIF was 25.3% (95% CI 12.9%–39.8%). The median PFS was 18 months (95% CI 8.9–44). Five (10.4%) patients developed toxicities potentially attributed to SRS, including cognitive effects and necrosis.

CONCLUSIONS

Reirradiation using SRS for recurrent pediatric brain tumors appears safe with good local control. Innovations that improve overall disease control should continue because survival outcomes after relapse remain poor.

OBJECTIVE

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has recently emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to resection for treating multiple brain metastases. Given the lack of consensus regarding the application of SRS versus resection for multiple brain metastases, the authors aimed to conduct a systematic literature review of all published work on the topic.

METHODS

The PubMed, OVID, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used to identify studies that examined clinical outcomes after resection or SRS was performed in patients with multiple brain metastases. Radiological studies, case series with fewer than 3 patients, pediatric studies, or national database studies were excluded. Data extracted included patient demographics and mean overall survival (OS). Weighted t-tests and ANOVA were performed.

RESULTS

A total of 1300 abstracts were screened, 450 articles underwent full-text review, and 129 studies met inclusion criteria, encompassing 20,177 patients (18,852 treated with SRS and 1325 who underwent resection). The OS for the SRS group was 10.2 ± 6 months, and for the resection group it was 6.5 ± 3.8 months. A weighted ANOVA test comparing OS with covariates of age, sex, and publication year revealed that the treatment group (p = 0.045), age (p = 0.034), and publication year (0.0078) were all independently associated with OS (with SRS, younger age, and later publication year being associated with longer survival), whereas sex (p = 0.95) was not.

CONCLUSIONS

For patients with multiple brain metastases, SRS and resection are effective treatments to prolong OS, with published data suggesting that SRS may have a trend toward lengthened survival outcomes. The authors encourage additional work examining outcomes of treatments for multiple brain metastases.

Published: November 2022

Bata beton (paving block) merupakan bahan bangunan yang digunakan untuk  perkerasan jalan, lapangan parkir, tempat jalan kaki (trotoar), atau permukaan halaman rumah. Bahan ini pada umumnya dibuat dari pasir atau agregat halus alam dan semen yang ditambah air sebagai katalisator. Untuk ketahanan lingkungan cara ujinya dengan direndam di dalam natrium sulfat (NaSO4) dan untuk keausan diuji dengan alat gesek atau abrasi. Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi dibidang material dan makin berkurangnya penyediaan bahan alam, maka dicari bahan alternatif, yaitu agregat halus alam diganti dengan agregat daur ulang yang diperoleh dari pembongkaran bangunan. Penambahan serat dicoba menggunakan bahan limbah berupa kantong kresek bekas yang dicacah membentuk seperti serat. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengurangi limbah padat. Berdasarkan hasil uji, kekutan bata beton yang menggunakan agregat halus daur ulang masih memenuhi persyaratan, namun hanya turun 1 tingkat kelas karena nilai kuat tekannya turun akibat rendaman NaSO4 dan uji keausan nilainya lebih besar. Namun dengan adanya serat plastik bekas meningkat lagi kekuatan tekannya dengan presentase 1 - 4%, sedangkan nilai kehilangan bobot akibat rendaman NaSO4 dan uji keausan diperoleh nilinya yang sama, sehingga serat plastik tidak menambah keawetan dan keausan pada bata beton. Namun setidaknya akan mengurangi limbah padat di muka bumi dan menjaga kelestarian alam.

The reality on the ground shows that students' ability to make mathematical connections is still relatively low. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of mathematical connections based on the mathematical disposition of students on the material of a two-variable linear equation system in Jayaraga village. The population in this study were students of SMP/MTs equivalent in Jayaraga village, while the sample was selected based on a purposive sampling technique of 3 students. The analysis of the results of this study shows that the mathematical connection ability and mathematical disposition: (1) The students' mathematical connection ability and mathematical disposition are in the medium category. (2) The level of mathematical disposition ability tends to affect the level of students' mathematical connection abilities. Students who have a high level of mathematical disposition ability tend to have better mathematical connection abilities. Students who have a moderate level of mathematical disposition ability tend to have ordinary mathematical connection abilities. And students who have a low level of mathematical disposition skills tend to have low mathematical connection abilities. Kenyataan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam melakukan koneksi matematis masih tergolong rendah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan koneksi matematis berdasarkan disposisi matematik siswa pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabel di desa Jayaraga. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMP/MTs sederajat yang berada di desa jayaraga, sedangkan sampel dipilih berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling sebanyak 3 orang siswa.

In reality, mathematical communication skills and lack of trust in students in Indonesia are still relatively low. Indications of low mathematical communication skills are seen from the results of a survey conducted by the OECD that shows that students' ability in mathematics learning is at a low level. Indications of weak self-confidence in learners are when students lack confidence when asked to express their opinions on the concept of normality discussed. The purpose of the researcher is to know the mathematical communication skills and self-confidence of students in the material of the three-variable linear equation system. This study was conducted on high school students in the Sukaresmi area with 6 students sampled. The findings in this study include the mathematical communication skills of each student in the SPLTV materials vary, including students with low, medium, and high mathematical communication skills. Furthermore, the achievement of self-confidence in students can also be seen from the level of interpretation obtained by students, namely moderate and high. Students with high self-confidence interpretation tend not to understand the advantages or disadvantages that they have, while students with self-confidence interpretation are not confident in their own abilities, are anxious about solving problems, feel depressed, and tend to be irresponsible. Pada kenyataannya kemampuan komunikasi matematis dan kurangnya rasa percaya pada peserta didik di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah. Indikasi rendahnya kemampuan komunikasi matematis dilihat dari hasil survei yang dilakukan oleh OECD yang menunjukan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika berada pada level yang rendah. Indikasi lemahnya self-confidence peserta didik adalah saat peserta didik kurang percaya diri ketika diminta untuk mengemukakan pendapatnya mengenai konsep kematematikaan yang dibahas. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian tersebut yaitu untuk mengetahui kemampuan komunikasi matematis dan self-confidence siswa pada materi sistem persamaan linear tiga variabel. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada siswa tingkat SMA/Sederjat di daerah Sukaresmi dengan 6 orang siswa yang dijadikan sampel. Hasil temuan dalam penelitian ini diantaranya kemampuan komunikasi matematis setiap siswa pada materi SPLTV berbeda-beda, diantaranya siswa dengan kemampuan komunikasi matematis rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Selanjutnya pencapaian self-confidence pada siswa juga dapat dilihat dari tingkat interpretasi yang diperoleh oleh siswa yaitu sedang dan tinggi. Siswa dengan interpretasi self-confidence yang tinggi cenderung tidak memahami kelebihan maupun kekurangan yang dimilikinya, sedangkan siswa dengan interpretasi self-confidence yang sedang kurang percaya pada kemampuan dirinya sendiri, cemas dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan, merasa tertekan serta cenderung tidak bertanggung jawab.
