Authors: Trisal Mridul , Maurya Prateek , Bhardwaj Shikha
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To evaluate whether long-term use of prostaglandin (PG) analogues is associated with alterations in corneal endothelial cell density and
central corneal thickness (CCT) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). This cross-sect Materials And Methods: ional study
included 50 participants: 25 POAG patients treated with PG analogues for over two years and 25 age-matched controls without glaucoma. CCT
was measured using ultrasound pachymetry, and corneal endothelial cell densities were assessed by specular microscopy. Statistical analysis
included Student's t-test and Chi-square tests for group comparisons, while Pearson's correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships
between endothelial cell density and CCT. Endothelial cell densities were significantly lower in the Results: POAG group receiving PG analogue
therapy compared to controls (P < 0.001). The mean CCT was also reduced in treated POAG patients (514.7 ± 17.6 μm) compared to controls
(548.9 ± 19.4 μm, P < 0.001). A positive correlation was observed between endothelial cell density and CCT in the POAG group.Conclusion:
Long-term PG analogue use in POAG patients may reduce endothelial cell density and CCT, warranting further research to clarify these effects.

Published: December 2024

Cadaver dissection in post-graduate training programs in aesthetic medicine offers physicians the opportunity of a three-dimensional knowledge of the face morphology, the individual regions, and layers of the face with all neighbouring structures including the main arteries, veins, and nerves. This study has evaluated the effectiveness of this educational intervention, in attendants to the second level vocational Master course in aesthetic medicine and therapeutics co-organized by the universities of Camerino and Turin. Two hundred medicine doctors attending the first year of the course have followed, as a part of the human anatomy course, a 2-day cadaver training on face anatomy at the Hellenic Neurosurgical Research Centre in Athens, Greece. The impact of the program was evaluated by a pre- and post-course multiple choice questions (MCQs) test. Different sets of MCQs were selected for the pre- and post-course test to avoid any recall bias. All 200 participants completed the tests, and their answers were analysed. A significant difference in the number of correct answers and in the scores obtained was found between pre- and post-course MCQs. Answers to questions on muscles of facial expression, muscles of the head, connective tissue and ligaments of the face and blood vessels and nerves of the face were those more correct after the cadaver lab practical course. The results showing a better knowledge of facial anatomical details after a practical cadaver lab suggest the need of including practical cadaver dissection activities in medical training in aesthetic medicine.

Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. In the literature there are numerous data on the issues of microcirculation in normal and periodontal diseases. Structural and functional microcirculatory changes in tissues observed in chronic generalized periodontitis cause fluid metabolism disorders, which reduces the effectiveness of therapeutic and restorative measures in periodontology. One of the methods of studying the microcirculatory bed is laser Doppler flowmetry.

AIM. To study the state of microhemocirculation of periodontal tissues in patients with cancer of extraoral localization.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. 45 women participated in the study: 15 women with a history of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity against the background of cancer of extraoral localization, 15 with chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity and 15 practically healthy with intact periodontitis. The dental status was studied (the state of the oral mucosa and periodontal, determination of the indices of PMA, CPU, CPITN), as well as the state of microcirculation of periodontal tissues using the device “Lazma MC-1” (LLC NPP “LAZMA”).

RESULTS. Changes in standard parameters and spectral analysis parameters were recorded in patients with both chronic generalized periodontitis and in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis against the background of extraoral oncopathology.

CONCLUSION. In the course of the study, in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis, changes in the microcirculatory bed characteristic of periodontal tissue disease were revealed, and more pronounced changes were in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis against the background of an extraoral oncological disease.

Published: December 2024

Kebudayaan menjadi aset bagi daerah. Pengelolaan kebijakannya seringkali tidak terlepas dari upaya komoditas dan hegemoni politik, sosial, dan ekonomi. Kabupaten Banyumas adalah wilayah yang memiliki kekhasan budaya Jawa pesisir dan memiliki ragam jenis budaya inklusi. Proses politik dalam penentuan arah kebijakan kebudayaan seringkali ditunggangi oleh kepentingan politik. Kehadiran pokok pikiran anggota dewan (PPAD) menjadi salah satu faktor dilematisasi organisasi perangkat daerah (OPD) dalam menentukan arah kebijakan kebudayaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertama, pengelolaan kebijakan kebudayaan di Kabupaten Banyumas sesuai dengan prosedur melalui aturan perundangan yang berlaku. Negosiasi usulan dilakukan di dalam perumusan kebijakan yang seringkali dimaknai sebagai black box policy area. Kedua, dalam proses negosiasi terjadi tarik ulur kepentingan antara eksekutif dan legislatif. Tarik menarik kepentingan membuat penyelerasan program dimaknai menjadi kepentingan politis akibat keterbatasan anggaran daerah dan pembentukan citra anggota legislatif. Dilema dalam penentuan program membuat OPD melakukan upaya diskresi.

Published: December 2024

Despite the active development of modern methods of producing parts, the production of parts by casting remains one of the most common and economically profitable. At the same time, modern production places high demands on the quality of cast parts. It is possible to ensure high quality of castings by forming a homogeneous dense structure of the ingot (casting). In turn, these indicators can be achieved by regulating the rate of solidification of the casting and the distribution of alloying elements inside it throughout the volume. One of the promising ways to control the casting structure is casting according to gasified models using inoculators (suspension casting). By using ferroalloy particles in styrofoam models simultaneously with inoculators (refrigerators), the number of crystallization centers and the distribution of alloying elements can be adjusted. One of the important indicators in the production of castings by suspension casting is the absence of defects, chemical heterogeneity, porosity and mechanical properties. These indicators can be obtained using inoculators used in suspension casting. In suspension casting, from the point of view of creating waste-free technologies, the use of various metal wastes during casting is promising: chips, slag components, trimmings, die-cuts, etc. In this project, it is planned through the introduction of inoculators, the use of foundry waste, which will provide the required service and technological properties.

Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa visa preencher uma lacuna na literatura existente sobre a diversidade de raça e gênero no contexto brasileiro, especialmente ao se concentrar em uma região que tem sido pouco explorada nesse sentido. Assim, teve-se como objetivo analisar a igualdade salarial de gênero e raça na profissão contábil na região norte do Brasil. Para isso, utilizou-se fontes documentais para a coleta de dados e uma abordagem quantitativa. A amostra consiste em profissionais contábeis atuantes na região norte do Brasil. Coletou-se 32.252 informações provenientes da base de dados CAGED, abrangendo o período de 2014 a 2018. Para a análise de dados, utilizou-se a técnica de correspondência múltipla, com ênfase na análise de homogeneidade HOMALS, utilizando o software SPSS. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a existência do referido fenômeno, no qual as mulheres encontram dificuldades em avançar para cargos superiores na área contábil, enquanto as mulheres negras são predominantemente encontradas em cargos inferiores, como auxiliares contábeis, e os homens ocupam posições mais elevadas, como a função de contador. Além disso, a escolha de focalizar a região norte revelou novas evidências em relação a um contexto caracterizado por diversidade, porém ainda afetado por fatores sociais, culturais e humanos limitantes. Esses achados destacam a importância de se explorar mais profundamente as barreiras existentes e promover medidas para mitigar as desigualdades de gênero e raça no campo da contabilidade e em outras áreas profissionais.

Published: December 2024

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints are often experienced by informal sector workers, including laundry workers, due to non-ergonomic work activities. This study evaluates the factors associated with MSD complaints among the Medan Selayang Sub-district laundry workers. The research design used a cross-sectional approach with 68 laundry workers as samples selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression to identify significant risk factors. The results showed that age (p=0.000), gender (p=0.045), tenure (p=0.002), and length of service (p=0.000) had a significant association with MSD complaints, while body mass index (BMI) showed no significant association (p=0.822). Multivariate analysis identified length of work as the most influential factor in MSD complaints with an Exp(B) value of 198.113. Recommendations include implementing occupational health and safety programs focused on high-risk workers, counseling on ergonomics, and setting policies related to work duration. These efforts are expected to reduce MSD complaints and improve the welfare of laundry workers.

Published: December 2024

Indonesia faces the challenge of a double burden of disease, where the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is increasing while communicable diseases remain high. In toddlers, this double burden includes the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and nutritional problems, which are the main problems in Nii Tanasa Village, Konawe District. This study aims to analyze the relationship of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) indicators to the risk of double burden disease in toddlers in the region. This research design is a Cross-Sectional study with a population and sample of 43 toddlers. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square and Fisher Exact tests. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between family smoking behavior (p-value=0.015), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value=0.000), toddlers not weighed at the posyandu/health center (p-value=0.000), and main water facilities (p-value=0.000) with the incidence of double burden disease in toddlers. However, fruit and vegetable consumption did not show a significant association (p-value=0.330). This study confirms that specific PHBS indicators, such as smoking behavior, exclusive breastfeeding, and primary water facilities, are associated with the incidence of double-burden disease in toddlers. Therefore, the community needs to increase the implementation of PHBS to reduce health risks among toddlers in Nii Tanasa Village.

This article aims to analyze the motives, goals, and mobilizing actors of the Gezi Park protests in Turkey in 2013 and the Aksi Bela Islam (ABI-Islamic defenders’ action) protests in Indonesia in 2016. The study finds that while both protests have strong Islamic historical roots, their underlying motives are significantly different. The Gezi Park protests were driven by government policies regarding the relocation of the park for commercial purposes, whereas the IDF protests were triggered by a statement made by the former Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, which was deemed blasphemous to Islam. Both movements share a common mobilizing factor, including the construction of easily understandable narratives for the masses. The ABI amplified public anger by emphasizing the importance of defending Islamic theological values that had been insulted, calling for collective prayer with prominent religious leaders as its key actors. On the other hand, the Gezi Park protests amplified public anger by voicing resistance against state brutality.

„Karierowicz” Józefa Mackiewicza – powieściowa intryga a postacie kobiet
Authors: Zając Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

The article’s author analyses some aspects of the plot of Karierowicz (The Careerist) – the novel written by Józef Mackiewicz and published at the same time (1955) as Droga donikąd (The Road to Nowhere), but having a completely different subject than that famous novel of him, and thus interestingly different from the main part of Mackiewicz’s prose, devoted to the political and historical matters. The focus here is on the intricate relationship between the title character, who is hiding the truth about his past, and each of the several female characters surrounding him at subsequent stages of his “career”. Their behavior, decisions and actions have a huge impact on his life and actually determine the directions of the novel’s action. At the same time, they largely shape the cardinal idea of the work, embedded in the plot which is arranged in this way.

Authors: Fedorowicz Irena
Published: December 2024

The aim of the paper is to analyze the knowledge and awareness about two writers – Józef Mackiewicz and his wife Barbara Toporska – that potential readers of the daily press published in Vilnius at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries might have possessed. The study mainly uses articles from the Polish-language press, such as the daily newspaper “Kurier Wileński” (1994, 2008, 2015, 2018), the socio-cultural magazine “Znad Wilii” (1989–1999), “Czas” (both printed biweekly), a supplement to “Nasza Gazeta” (2000), “Magazyn Wileński” (2006, 2012, 2020), which was published monthly, and “Rota”, a supplement to “Tygodnik Wileński” (2014). The details concerning Lithuanian authors were written at a later time and focus only on the reception of J. Mackiewicz’s work, completely ignoring the achievements of his wife. Publications about the writer’s work appeared in the following newspapers: “Mokslo Lietuva” (2002), “Naujasis Židinys. Aidai” (2007), “Kultūros barai” (2016), and “Šiaurės Atenai” (2019). Since 2018, an important site commemorating J. Mackiewicz and B. Toporska has been their house in Czarny Bór (lit. Juodšiliai), where the Józef Mackiewicz Creative Work Center is located.
Władysława Reymonta narracje o rewolucji 1905 roku („Z konstytucyjnych dni”)
Authors: Olszewska Maria Jolanta
Published: December 2024

One of the most significant issues that captured the attention of Władysław Stanisław Reymont was the question of revolution, particularly the 1905 Revolution, to which he devoted several works compiled in the volume Na krawędzi (1907). This collection consists of various short narrative forms, diverse in genre and style, including the titular Na krawędzi, Z konstytucyjnych dni, Cmentarzysko, Zabiłem!, Czekam…, Franek, and Przed świtem. These stories create an intriguing constellation of interrelated works. Reymont’s attitude toward the events of the 1905 Revolution, which he experienced firsthand in Warsaw, was not straightforward. Z konstytucyjnych dni offers a vivid and immediate account of events unfolding in Warsaw during the autumn of 1905, following the announcement of the constitutional manifesto by the Tsar. The writer masterfully recreates the tense atmosphere of those days, highlighting their complex and ambiguous nature. The other works included in Na krawędzi take on a parabolic and fairy-tale character, which Reymont later continues in Księżniczka and Bunt. Baśń came from the post-war period. Ultimately, Reymont’s view of the revolution is negative. He perceives it as a threat to social order, freedom, and the independent existence of Poland, with broader implications for civilization and humanity. In his view, salvation lies in a return to fundamental Christian values.
Samotni mężczyźni w krótkich utworach epickich Władysława Stanisława Reymonta i Zygmunta Niedźwieckiego
Authors: Trześniewska-Nowak Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

The article examines the theme of loneliness in the short prose works of Zygmunt Niedźwiecki and Władysław Stanisław Reymont. The focus is on masculinity, which underwent a significant transformation in the 19th century, evolving into what is referred to as “modern masculinity”. The issue of loneliness is approached from two perspectives. Firstly, there are depictions of elderly men who, in the final stages of their lives, are abandoned by their loved ones and deprived of their dignity. Secondly, the loneliness of young men entering adulthood is explored. The notion of the stranger in the crowd is also addressed. Both authors portray loneliness at various stages of a man’s life with a striking degree of naturalism.
Outsiderzy na stacji kolejowej. O "Marzycielu" Władysława Stanisława Reymonta
Authors: Piechota Dariusz
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to analyzing Władysław Stanisław Reymont’s The Dreamer in the prism of the category of outsider. The author refers to Collin Wilson’s classification, who analyzes 20th-century literature and culture, underlines 3 types of outsiders (romantic, intellectual, and visioner). In Reymont’s novel, the reader may find mainly romantic and intellectual outsiders. Protagonists in The Dreamer lose illusion about their future. Unreconciled with their fate, they escape into the world of dreams, and casual sex, and rebel against social patterns. The monotony of their existence is intensified by the space of the station located far from large metropolises. Additionally, the atmosphere of boredom is intensified by the weather; the lack of sun and constant snowfall give the impression that this place is cut off from the world.

The development of the diary has gone through a complex process, serving initially as a supplementary source for writing memoirs and gradually evolving into an independent literary form. The author’s diaries, which we consider examples of literary fiction, do not consist solely of informative entries written daily. Instead, the structure of these texts is more complex, incorporating poems, stories, letters, literary criticism, memoirs, and more. A study of diaries written during the Soviet period reveals that the defining features of the genre weakened while the artistic qualities were enhanced. The shift from auto-communication to publication as a primary goal contributed to this enrichment, introducing elements of memoirs and biographies into the diaries. Our analysis and research lead us to conclude that during the Soviet period, significant changes occurred in the diary genre, resulting in synthetic works that no longer fully adhered to the traditional expectations of the genre.

Simplicia is a natural ingredient that is dried and used as medicine and has not undergone any processing involving any chemical processes. Simplicia is divided into three types, namely animal, pelican and vegetable simplicia. Drying simplicia must be done under appropriate conditions to avoid loss of active substance content. This research uses galangal (Kaempferia galanga) as the simplicia used. Galangal is used in various traditional treatments, such as rheumatism, asthma, stomach ulcers, malnutrition, diarrhea, coughs, fever, as a concoction to increase stamina and digestive tract disorders. The chemical ingredients in kencur simplicia, such as essential oils and curcuminoids, have good properties for the body. This research uses a thin layer chromatography method to identify the essential oil content in galangal rhizomes.

Yellow kepok banana peel (Musa paradisiaca L.) contains alkaloid, flavonoid, and tannin compounds that are known to have antibacterial activity. This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial activity of mouthwash from yellow kepok banana peel in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans. The yellow kepok banana peel used the maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent, then mouthwash preparation formulations with the extract concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 8%. The antibacterial activity of the mouthwash preparation was tested against Streptococcus mutans using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that the mouthwash formula of yellow kepok banana peel extract had inhibitory power on Streptococcus mutans bacteria with an inhibition zone of 9.52 mm in formula I, formula II 10.67 mm, and formula III 12.36 mm. Formulas I and II are classified as moderate antibacterial activity categories, while formula III is classified as having strong antibacterial activity. The results showed a p <0.05, meaning each test group has a significant difference. Formula III is the best formula because the resulting preparation is homogeneous, PH is 5, viscosity is 2.4 cP, the preparation is stable and formula III has the best antibacterial activity.
