In 2019, the 100th anniversary of the famous Lithuanian folklorist Ambraziejus Jonynas (1919–2006) is celebrated. This publication gives a detailed survey of his biography, scholarly works and public activities. The main research interests of Jonynas comprised the folklore historiography. Besides, he edited or co-authored a number of the most important collective theoretical works by the Lithuanian folklorists and folklore publications printed in the second half of the 20th century.
Relationship Among Siblings in Portuguese Versions of the Pan-Hispanic Ballad Delgadinha
Authors: Paiva Morão Ana Maria
Published: November 2022

Delgadinha (IGR 0075) is one of the most widespread ballads (romances) in the pan-Hispanic world (Portuguese and Spanish-speaking communities and Sephardies) and perhaps one of the most studied, as many scholars have produced articles about it from different perspectives. The present study is a literary analysis of the ballad, considering some anthropological and sociological aspects. It focuses on Portuguese versions, also bearing in mind the other pan-Hispanic branches and features, mainly the part of Delgadinha’s narrative concerning the reactions of the girl’s siblings towards her situation.The theme of Delgadinha is an attempted father / daughter incest. When she refuses, her father locks her in a tower providing her with salty food and limited or brackish water. The girl desperately begs every family member for water but none of them helps in any way. When she finally tells her father that she will give in, he sends her a jar of clear water, but the girl is already dead when it arrives.This paper analyses the different excuses and arguments invoked by siblings in refusing help, grouping them by type. It studies the variation of this conduct in order to understand the siblings’ relationship within the family structure and the world of the ballad.

Ambraziejus Jonynas: the Bibliographic Index, 1937–2019
Authors: Daugirdaitė Vilma , Pleskačiauskienė Rūta
Published: November 2022

This bibliographic index lists all published works by the Lithuanian folklore researcher Ambraziejus Jonynas (1919 02 02 – 2006 07 08), including his books, articles in research publications and encyclopedias, popular academic texts and information published in the dailies and cultural periodicals, compiled and edited publications, series of publications and books, where he was member of the editorial board. Publications about him and his research works are also included.

This bibliographic index should help understand and appreciate the Jonynas’ research biography and his role in the Lithuanian folkloristics. In addition, it is an important source for studies of the history of the discipline: the folklorist’s works present vivid illustration of what was relevant during his lifetime. Particularly hard pressure of the Soviet ideology characterized the first decade of Jonynas’ work in the field of folklore research (evident from the titles of the publications). Subsequent decades, during which the researchersʼ self-expression was still rather restricted, saw quite an intense editing of folklore source publications and other compilation works, in which Jonynas’ name also frequently appears: he compiled the publications, edited them or wrote the introductions. His individual research works that are still significant today were published in the late Soviet period. He analyzed interactions between literature and folklore, as well as the Lithuanian folklore historiography. He continued writing on these topics even later, after the restoration of the Lithuanian independence in 1990, giving considerable attention to the biographic facts of Lithuanian folklorists suppressed by the Soviets, and various issues that were important to the Lithuanian folkloristics and its history.

Jonynas felt an acute need and wish (or perhaps duty) to contribute to periodicals and cultural press. He used various occasions to introduce folklore collectors and researchers, discuss various issues of folklore survival, preservation, research and promotion. He also saw as his duty to remind of the important facts of the national culture, or at least briefly inform the society of folklorists’ achievements and plans.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the identification criteria (phenological, morphological and some agricultural) and select the ones suitable for turfgrass. Agricultural studies in Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute Ambarköprü Station were carried out. Identification studies was done according to IBPGR with 900 genotypes in 2015 and 2016. Some parameters determined in the study as follows. Average plant height 65–177 cm, main stem thickness 2.0–6.1 mm, internode length 11–53 cm, flag leaf length 10–42 cm, flag leaf width 3–14 mm, days to heading 208–246, lodging ratio 1.5–5.0 (1=erect; 5= prostrate), tillering potential 9–330, spring growth 1.5–5.0 (1- early; 5- late), herbage forage yield 101–2330 g/plant. End of the morphological and technological measuring and observations, 49 genotypes were selected for turfgrass with using relative rating method. According to the analysis, the genotypes were first divided into two main groups. It was determined that the genotypes FA 06-07, FA 31-02, FA 09-08 and FA 05-13 in the first group were collected from Samsun and Tokat locations, and all of the genotypes in the second group were collected from the Tokat location.
Importance of non-stationary analysis for assessing extreme sea levels under sea level rise
Authors: Baldan Damiano , Coraci Elisa , Crosato Franco , Ferla Maurizio , Bonometto Andrea , Morucci Sara
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Increased coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels (ESLs) is one of the major hazards related to sea level rise. Estimates of return levels
obtained under the framework provided by extreme-event theory might be biased under climatic non-stationarity. Additional uncertainty is related to the choice of the model. In this work, we fit several extreme-value models to two long-term sea level records from Venice (96 years) and Marseille (65 years): a generalized extreme-value (GEV) distribution, a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), a point process (PP), the joint probability method (JPM), and the revised joint probability method (RJPM) under different detrending strategies. We model non-stationarity with a linear dependence of the model's parameters on the mean sea level. Our results show that non-stationary GEV and PP models fit the data better than
stationary models. The non-stationary PP model is also able to reproduce the rate of extremes occurrence fairly well. Estimates of the return levels
for non-stationary and detrended models are consistently more conservative than estimates from stationary, non-detrended models. Different models
were selected as being more conservative or having lower uncertainties for the two datasets. Even though the best model is case-specific, we show
that non-stationary extremes analyses can provide more robust estimates of return levels to be used in coastal protection planning.
The Luangwa Rift Active Fault Database and fault reactivation along the southwestern branch of the East African Rift

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Seismic hazard assessment in slow straining regions is challenging because earthquake catalogues only record events from approximately the last 100 years, whereas earthquake recurrence times on individual faults can exceed 1000 years. Systematic mapping of active faults allows fault sources to be used within probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, which overcomes the problems of short-term earthquake records. We use Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data to analyse surface deformation in the Luangwa Rift in Zambia and develop the Luangwa Rift Active Fault Database (LRAFD). The LRAFD is an open-source geospatial database containing active fault traces and their attributes and is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6513691. We identified 18 faults that display evidence for Quaternary activity, and empirical relationships suggest that these faults could cause earthquakes up to Mw 8.1, which would exceed the magnitude of historically recorded events in southern Africa. On the four most prominent faults, the median height of Quaternary fault scarps varies between 12.9 ± 0.4 and 19.2 ± 0.9 m, which suggests they were formed by multiple earthquakes. Deformation is focused on the edges of the Luangwa Rift: the most prominent Quaternary fault scarps occur along the 207 km long Chipola and 142 km long Molaza faults, which are the rift border faults and the longest faults in the region. We associate the scarp on the Molaza Fault with possible surface ruptures from two 20th century earthquakes. Thus, the LRAFD reveals new insights into active faulting in southern Africa and presents a framework for evaluating future seismic hazard.
Broadband spectral induced polarization for the detection of Permafrost and an approach to ice content estimation – a case study from Yakutia, Russia
Authors: Mudler Jan , Hördt Andreas , Kreith Dennis , Sugand Madhuri , Bazhin Kirill , Lebedeva Lyudmila , Radić Tino
Published: November 2022

Abstract. The reliable detection of subsurface ice using non-destructive geophysical methods is an important objective in permafrost research. The ice content of the frozen ground is an essential parameter for further interpretation, for example in terms of risk analysis and for the description of permafrost carbon feedback by thawing processes. The high-frequency induced polarization method (HFIP) enables the measurement of the frequency-dependent electrical conductivity and permittivity of the subsurface, in a frequency range between 100 Hz and 100 kHz. As the electrical permittivity of ice exhibits a strong characteristic behaviour in this frequency range, HFIP in principle is suitable to estimate ice content. Here, we present methodological advancements of the HFIP method and suggest an explicit procedure for ice content estimation. A new measuring device, the Chameleon-II (Radic Research), was used for the first time. Compared to a previous generation, the new system is equipped with longer cables and higher power, such that we can now achieve larger penetration depths up to 10 m. Moreover, it is equipped with technology to reduce electromagnetic coupling effects which can distort the desired subsurface signal. The second development is a method to estimate ice content quantitatively from five Cole–Cole parameters obtained from spectral two-dimensional inversion results. The method is based on a description of the subsurface as a mixture of two components (matrix and ice) and uses a previously suggested relationship between frequency-dependent electrical permittivity and ice content. In this model, the ice relaxation is considered the dominant process in the frequency range around 10 kHz. Measurements on a permafrost site near Yakutsk, Russia, were carried out to test the entire procedure under real conditions at the field scale. We demonstrate that the spectral signal of ice can clearly be identified even in the raw data and show that the spectral 2-D inversion algorithm is suitable to obtain the multidimensional distribution of electrical parameters. The parameter distribution and the estimated ice content agree reasonably well with previous knowledge of the field site from borehole and geophysical investigations. We conclude that the method is able to provide quantitative ice content estimates and that relationships that have been tested in the laboratory may be applied at the field scale.
Advanced photochemical systems with bathochromic shift for precision soft materials design
Authors:   , Kalayci Kubra
Published: November 2022

The current thesis introduces novel tools via two photochemically induced ligations; [2+2] photocycloadditions and photouncaging reactions for light-controlled Staudinger-Bertozzi ligations. New chromophores were designed to provide a bathochromic shift for the activation wavelength of both reaction types to address the challenges that prevent these systems to be available for biological applications. In-depth photoreactivity studies using action plots revealed the exact wavelength dependent reactivity of the developed systems along with the effect of solvent and pH on the photoreactivity, which contributed to a fundamental understanding of these reactions. The applicability of these systems was demonstrated by hydrogel fabrication and surface patterning.
Identifying and understanding the molecular mechanisms of migraine via functional interpretation of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data
Authors:   , Ghaffar Ammarah
Published: November 2022

Migraine is the most common brain disorder, affecting almost 14% of the adult population, yet its molecular mechanisms and pathogenic tissue(s) remain unclear. In this thesis, I have developed a novel approach that uses genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data to impute genetically regulated tissue-specific gene expression and prioritise disease-relevant pathogenic tissues. In subsequent studies, I compared three transcriptome imputation models to characterise genome-wide significant migraine GWAS risk loci and identified 14 novel migraine risk loci that were confirmed to be true risk loci in a recent larger migraine GWAS.

Pleasant emotional experiences followed the implementation of responsive teaching practices in subsequent lessons.
Libraries as bastions of truth? How technical college students ascertain truthfulness in information
Authors:   , Sandercock Patricia Alice
Published: November 2022

This study examined how a group of first year technical college students ascertained the truthfulness of information retrieved from their college library’s catalogue. This study revealed a strong, passive dependence by first year students on those individuals and institutions perceived to be in positions of authority, who concurrently conferred not just truth, but beliefs, and understandings; while other students, displaying interface fuzziness, confused library information sources with those found on the internet. It is recommended that those instructing technical college students encourage greater levels of reflection and cognitive engagement with information selected for use by students.

Published: November 2022

Carex camposii Boiss. & Reut., endemic to high mountain ranges in Southern Iberian Peninsula (Sierra Nevada, Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra de Baza), is a morphologically and molecularly well-defined species included in Carex gr. laevigata (subg. Carex, sect. Spirostachyae). We have discovered a population of a morphologically similar species to C. camposii in a different mountain range (Sierra de Tejeda), that displayed some deviant morphological characters and was found in a different habitat from that typical of the species. In order to disentangle the taxonomic status of this population, we have conducted a phylogenetic analysis using five nuclear (ITS, ETS, G3PDH, CATP and GZF) and three plastid (matK, rpS16 and 5’trnK intron) DNA regions. In addition, a morphological analysis including the population from Sierra de Tejeda was carried out. The resulting phylogenetic trees show that the samples of the problematic population are closely related to C. camposii, while the morphological study revealed that a total of nine morphological features did not match those of typical C. camposii. Even though the samples from Sierra de Tejeda are genetically not well differentiated from C. camposii, the morphological and ecological differentiation supports its recognition as a new subspecies, C. camposii subsp. tejedensis. An assessment of its conservation status using IUCN categories and criteria suggests that it could be critically endangered (CR).

Authors: SHİRALİYEV Museyib
Published: November 2022

Language is an important factor that constitutes national identity. Language policies have become a state structure that aims to unite peoples under state rule, as well as organize and reorganize their lives. The establishment of a political central authority that dominates the society’s thoughts through language is the most essential element of social construction processes in the new world order. This study examines the current situation of Azerbaijani Turkish in Borchali (Georgia) and South Azerbaijan (Iran) from socio-political and sociolinguistic perspectives. In this context, language policies, language planning and language rights, and monolingualism with its assimilationist characteristics, are included in the theoretical framework for the first part of this research. The second part explains the language policy implemented in Georgia and discusses the mother tongue education problems faced by minorities. Data on language policy practices in Iran, the position of Azerbaijani Turkish against the titular language, and the problems related to South Azerbaijan Turks’ right to education in their mother tongue are interpreted in the third part. In the last section, attention is drawn to the role of language policy in Azerbaijan’s multi-culturalism model, as a solution method for the aforementioned problems.
Comparing Diaspora Policies of Turkey and Azerbaijan: “Are Common Diaspora Policies Possible?”
Authors: İyi M. Mustafa , Umarova Aisha
Published: November 2022

The term diaspora is used to describe social groups that have migrated from their homeland, and preserved and maintained their home country’s culture. In the 1990s, with the acceleration of communication, transportation, and the ease of displacement, migration movements in the world increased and modern diasporas developed transnational relations in their country of residence. Modern diasporas have attracted sending states’ attention over time and have led states to develop various policies for institution building, political participation, lobbying, and civil and social rights. This article reveals the similarities and differences in Turkey and Azerbaijan’s diaspora policies from a historical perspective and examines the kinds of activities and policies these two states currently have in the context of the Turkish world. The possibility of the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (Turkey) and the State Committee on Work with Diaspora (Azerbaijan) developing common diaspora policies is also discussed. The study’s data is collected using the document analysis method, which includes a literature review and an examination of reports from the public institutions mentioned, in order to discuss the possibility of the two countries to producing a common diaspora policy.

Plant Based Immunomodulators for Managing Stress in Animals - A Review
Authors: Srivastava Preeti , Faridi Farah Naz , Sharma Mudit
Published: November 2022

In animals the stress response is useful as a protection mechanism. The cause of stressful conditions in animals can broadly be due to physiological/ pathological conditions, infectious and metabolic diseases, predators, transportation, temperature, diet and chemicals. The oxidative stress is also generated in a number of clinical conditions in animals. The response to these stressors by the animal produces adverse effects on immune system, growth, production and feed conversion efficiency and a pivotal loss to livestock overall. The herbal immunomodulators help the animal to cope better during stress and related disorders by combating or restoring immune functions and play a vital role in animal’s health by up-regulating the immune system. They effectively reduce the incidence and severity of disease episodes in populations of livestock that are immunologically impaired. The study of herbal immunomodulators is an emerging field in veterinary medicine where the herbs can be supplemented along with the therapy in order to minimize the losses due to clinical conditions in livestock and are helpful in preventing the body weight loss and in producing nutritious meat, eggs and milk. Withania somnifera, Ocimum sanctum, Tinospora cordifolia, Asparagus racemosus, Emblica officinalis among many others are known to possess immunomodulatory and anti-stressor properties. It increases physiological endurance and are beneficial particularly in stress-related disorders in animals. Tinospora cordifolia is known to have shown effect on diabetes in rats. Asparagus racemosus has shown antioxidant properties against damage induced by gamma radiation and development of intraperitoneal adhesions and macrophage modulation in animal models. Not only they strengthen the defense mechanisms against free radical damage during stress conditions they also induce immunostimulation. The Ocimum sanctum seed oil has been found to contain significant antioxidant and chemopreventive properties against 20-Methylcholanthrene induced fibrosarcoma in mice. Also, the herbal immunomodulators are found safe in acute and sub-acute toxicity studies. Therefore, the present article details the importance of herbal immunomodulators with their active ingredients and clinical indications in alleviating the stressful condition in animals and their role in better management of diseases in a futuristic approach.

Role of Social Network Structures on Birth Attendant Decisions Among Women in Nakuru County, Kenya
Authors: Mwangi Mungai , Gitahi Dr. Mary , Evans Owino Dr. George
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Three-fourths of maternal deaths occur from direct obstetric complications. These life-threatening pregnancy-related outcomes are avoidable through ensuring that mothers have access to adequate and proper maternal health services and prompt management of any complications during pregnancy or childbirth process. This study examined the relationship between social network structures and birth attendant decisions among women in Nakuru County, Kenya.
Methods: The study applied a mixed-method approach that employs a convergent parallel design. Interviewer administered questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data among women of birth giving age and community health workers (CHWs) respectively. Chi-square tests for independence were used to assess whether the dependent variable and categorical independent variables are independent at p< 0.05 significance levels. Binomial logistic regression technique was employed to identify variables that are likely to be essential predictors for the dependent variable. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews with key informants was analyzed through content analysis using NVivo 10.
Results: About 55% of the women were embedded in homogeneous networks, 76% had high Skilled Birth Attendants (SBA) endorsement networks, and the average number of social networks was 2.4 (SD=1.1, median = 2). There was no significant relationship between social network size and birth attendant decision (χ2(2), p=.072). There was, however, a significant relationship between social network content and birth attendant decision (χ2(1)=55.604, p< 0.001). Social network homogeneity was also strongly related to birth attendant choice (χ2(1)=21.152, p<0.001). Women embedded in social networks with high SBA endorsement had 5.28 higher odds of giving birth in a health facility than their counterparts embedded in low SBA endorsement. Those embedded in a homogeneous network had a 70% reduction in odds of facility delivery.
Conclusion: According to the study findings, social networks can either facilitate or constrain facility utilization during birth, and thus health education and mother mobilization interventions promoting facility birth should leverage on the role of social networks.

Key words: social networks, mixed methods, birth attendant decisions, skilled birth attendants

Published: November 2022

Background: Balance is ability to maintain equilibrium. In order to maintain optimal trunk stability, co-ordination and co-activation of neural control of trunk muscle are needed. PNF is a therapeutic exercise based on diagonal patterns of motion and enhance neural control. Y balance test is dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility and proprioception.
Need of the study: PNF practices are often preceded by verbal / visual / tactile input to promote and achieve muscle contraction and motor control. So pelvic PNF can help to promote neuromuscular control of trunk. Adequate neuromuscular control of trunk can improve dynamic balance. Purpose of study is to identify the immediate effect of pelvic PNF on Y balance test in healthy young individuals
Methodology: 50 participants selected and divided into 2 groups. Control group receives trunk flexibility exercise and experimental group receives pelvic PNF in all four patterns: anterior elevation, anterior depression, posterior elevation, posterior depression and two PNF methods used: rhythmic stabilization, slow reversal. Total duration of treatment is 40 minutes.
Result: The present study indicate improvement in dynamic balance (p <0.05)

“Making” the contemporary and next-generation journalist, through data journalism: The need for emerging curriculum in journalism education in India - A primary proposal
Authors: Kumar V. Vijay , Sahu Anurag
Published: November 2022

Like any other profession, the media and communication domains are also majorly robust with the advent of computers and information communication technologies. In the recent past, the concept of data journalism struck the chords of major news media houses across the globe. Data journalism is an evolving form of storytelling, where journalist works with data, data analytics software, and visualize data to narrate their news stories. In India, over the years, many academic institutions started offering certificate, diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programmes in journalism and communication-related fields. Currently, academic curricula and journalism education are strengthened with conventional journalism theories and practices. Due to the arrival of data journalism, modern tools, and techniques, journalism pedagogy faces a relatively large knowledge gap. This research article is an outcome of exploratory research that examined 155 academic institutions by scrutinizing the communication curriculum offered across India and suggests the need-based syllabi in consultation with academic and industrial experts, which entails data journalism as an empowering element for the current and next-generation journalists.

Published: November 2022

La infección por VPH constituye un grave problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Aunque las investigaciones sobre VPH han girado en torno del diagnóstico, el tratamiento y la prevención de las infecciones en las mujeres, se ha reportado que la mayor parte de los estudiantes universitarios desconoce con certeza la clínica, manejo y tratamiento de esta infección y prácticas de prevención contra el VPH e, incluso, la mayoría de las universitarias nunca se realizado la prueba de Papanicolaou. Se evaluaron los factores de riesgo de infección por VPH (virus del papiloma humano) en estudiantes universitarios de Guayaquil. El estudio reveló que la prevalencia de infección por VPH en los estudiantes que reportaron no poseer información sobre la infección por VPH fue significativamente mayor ya que permanecen en un estado de baja percepción de riesgo de contagio.

Published: November 2022

Se realizó una encuesta transversal de dos muestras separadas por conveniencia de enero a marzo de 2021 a fin de comparar la prevalencia de percepción de riesgo e identificar diferentes estrategias de afrontamiento en enfermeros de la costa y la sierra ecuatoriana. Las muestras incluyeron dos grupos de profesionales de enfermería para un total de 518. El 49,0% (n= 254) de los participantes laboraban en la sierra ecuatoriana y el 50,8% (n= 263) prestaban sus servicios en la costa ecuatoriana. Muestreados provenientes de varias clínicas, tanto en la costa como en la sierra ecuatoriana, fueron abordados aleatoriamente por el entrevistador para participar en el estudio. Se examinaron y compararon los resultados de las pruebas de las tres muestras. Los grupos se eligieron en función de la conveniencia del muestreo y la supuesta conciencia de los factores de riesgo de COVID-19. En cuanto a la percepción de riesgo, su prevalencia es significativamente mayor para las enfermeras de la costa que las de la sierra. Las enfermeras que prefieren trabajar en equipo durante la crisis sanitaria tenían probabilidades alrededor de 0,30 más bajas, lo que puede interpretarse como un factor protector. Respecto al miedo al contagio no se hallaron diferencias entre enfermeras de la costa o la sierra.

Annual statistical data of form 32 “Report on the provision of medical care to pregnant women, women in labor and newborns”, approved by No. 54 of 11.11.2014, of the Center for Medical Statistics and Information of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Republic of Tajikistan for the period 2014-2018 were analyzed.

Results and discussion. In the new socio-economic conditions of the country, a high frequency of congenital malformations has been established, which has an unstable tendency to decrease. The findings indicate that congenital malformations occur mainly among premature newborns, while lesions of the central nervous system prevail. Defects of the cardiovascular system prevail among full-term infants, which is possibly associated with the late diagnosis of the pathology.

Conclusion. Perinatal screening will allow timely detection of congenital malformations of the fetus, reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Post-treatment survival rate of uterine corpus cancer patients
Authors: Muhamadi N. Z.
Published: November 2022

Aim. To study the post-treatment survival of patients with uterine body cancer depending on a parity and the metabolic syndrome.

Material and methods. 218 patients with a proven diagnosis of uterine body cancer, who were examined and treated at the State Institution “Republican Oncological Research Center” of the MoHSP of RT, for the period from 2007 to 2019, participated in the study. All patients, depending on the parity, were divided into groups: multiparous (n=101), low-parous (n=84), and infertile (n=33). Survival rate was measured using the Kaplan-Meier curve comparison using the Cox F-test, and differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05.

Results. An analysis of the overall cumulative post-treatment survival of uterine body cancer patients by the KaplanMeier method showed that 55% of patients are alive 60 months after the treatment, and 48% of patients after 85 months. Survival rates in the group of women with multiple births are better than in the group of women with few births (55% of women with multiple births and 45% of women with few births lived for 70 months). But these differences are not statistically significant (p>0.05). The lowest survival rates are observed in the group of low-birth-weight uterine body cancer patients with metabolic syndrome, and the best rates are in the group of multiparous patients without metabolic syndrome although the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).

Conclusion. The analysis of the survival of patients with uterine body cancer in the region of high birth rate using the Kaplan-Meier method showed that the survival of patients with uterine body cancer depends not only on the stage of the disease and methods of therapy but also on the parity and concomitant extragenital pathology, such as metabolic syndrome.
Perioperative intra-abdominal pressure parameters for different surgical techniques in patients with ventral hernias
Authors: Shamsullozoda Sh. N. , Abdullozoda J. A.
Published: November 2022

Aim. To study perioperative IAP parameters with various methods of hernioplasty in patients with ventral hernias.

Materials and research methods. The results of the treatment of 148 patients with ventral hernias were studied. The first group included 58 patients for whom an anterior separation plasty was used for hernioplasty. The second group included 44 patients who underwent posterior separation of the abdominal wall muscles. The third group consisted of 46 patients who underwent onlay (n=28) and sublay (n=18) methods of hernioplasty.

Results and discussion. In patients with W3 hernias, when closing the edges of the hernia orifice, there was a significant increase in IAP to a level corresponding to the I degree of intra-abdominal hypertension, which averaged 12.8±1.9 mm Hg (p<0.05). In patients with W4 hernias, the level of intra-abdominal pressure after closing the edges of the hernia orifice was significantly higher than in patients with W3 hernias, and on average they were 14.7±1.7 mm Hg. (p<0.05), which corresponded to the upper limit of the I degree of intra-abdominal pressure.

Conclusion. The results of perioperative monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure indicate the tension nature of onlay and sublay hernioplasty methods, and therefore their use in hernias of W3 and W4 sizes is contraindicated. For large and giant hernias, the use of separation methods of hernioplasty is recommended.

The review article is devoted to the issues of surgical treatment and postoperative rehabilitation of patients with deformity of the nose, combined with the pathology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Analysis of the literature shows that in terms of the tactics of surgical treatment of patients with nasal deformity, combined with the pathology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, there is no consensus, and the development of more effective methods of simultaneous surgical treatment remains a subject of discussion.
Il dupilumab nell’esofagite eosinofila: una nuova frontiera?
Authors: Mainetti Martina , Troisi Angela , Turlà Giuliana , Fontijn Simone , Rametta Giovanna , Buzzi Andrea , Mussetto Alessandro , Marchetti Federico
Published: November 2022

Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated or antigen-mediated oe-sophageal disease. Therapeutic first-line options currently available for EoE are elimina-tion diets, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and steroids. The ultimate goal of the therapy is to avoid irreversible stricturing disease. Despite the rising prevalence of EoE, there has been little therapeutic advancement until recently. Dupilumab is one of the potential disease-modifying biologics used in various stages of clinical trials. The paper describes the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with sub-oesophageal stricture in eosinophilic oesophagitis and steroid-dependence for disease control who was successfully treated with dupilumab.
Convulsioni e gastroenterite: un caso che insegna
Authors: Del Bono Chiara , Ciambrelli Federica , Rocca Alessandro , Pierantoni Luca , Gennari Monia , Lanari Marcello
Published: November 2022

The article reports a case of convulsions with gastroenteritis (CWG) and briefly reviews the related literature. A 2-year-old girl presented with four short episodes of focal afebrile seizures within 12 hours. She had fever with vomiting in the previous 2 days and she developed diarrhoea during her hospital stay, after the fifth seizure. She had no significant past medical history and showed neither neurological signs nor signs of dehydration. Serum electrolytes were normal, cerebrospinal fluid examination was negative for meningoencephalitis and contrast-enhanced CT Brain scan showed no evidence of intracranial lesion. Stool investigation was positive for rotavirus. Therefore, the diagnosis of CWG was made. Repeated convulsions were handled with continuous intravenous infusion of midazolam. The main cause of CWGs in viral gastroenteritis is due to rotavirus or norovirus. The convulsions are usually focal seizure clusters, with secondary generalization. CWGs are associated with a benign prognosis.

The Role of True and Counterfeit Intentions in Creating Trusts
Authors: Bryan Michael
Published: November 2022

The aim of this paper is to illustrate Denis Ong’s facility for identifying the hard questions of trusts law with reference to his analysis, in Trusts Law in Australia, of a settlor’s intention to create a trust. As we will see, this is not a simple matter of ascertaining, from writing or other evidence, that an intention to create a trust has been manifested. A court may have to go further in some cases and consider whether the settlor possessed a genuine intention to create a trust, or whether the intention is, in some sense, counterfeit. This may be because the putative trust is a sham. Even if it is not a sham, there may be other reasons why the arrangement put in place by a settlor cannot be characterised as a trust. Recent decisions, considered later in this paper, have highlighted the distinction between true and counterfeit intention.
Alteridade e terapia: um olhar bakhtiniano para o conceito de construção na psicanálise freudiana
Authors: Moll Eduardo Da Silva , Di Fanti Maria da Glória Corrêa
Published: November 2022

As críticas de Volóchinov a Freud, mais conhecidas pela obra O freudismo, de 1927, se, por um lado, desabonam a psicanálise por entendê-la como uma vertente do subjetivismo, por outro, alternativamente, valorizam o aspecto alteritário e discursivo do acontecimento psicanalítico. Falecido em 1936, Volóchinov não avaliou os últimos textos freudianos, como Construções na análise, de 1937, que poderiam nortear importantes discussões sobre a relação entre alteridade e o tratamento psicanalítico. Ampliando esta reflexão e considerando produções que aprofundam o conceito de alteridade e de psicanálise, temos como objetivo neste artigo discutir as contribuições do conceito bakhtiniano de alteridade ao contemplar o funcionamento das construções no tratamento psicanalítico. Com uma pesquisa bibliográfica, propomos contribuições bakhtinianas enfocando (i) a singularidade dos papéis desempenhados pelos sujeitos na sessão; (ii) o tensionamento das verdades analíticas e (iii) a experimentação de axiologias e vozes discursivas a partir de aproximações e distanciamentos entre analista e analisando.
Poética dos rios: reflexo do sujeito perante as águas em poemas de Juan L. Ortiz e Max Martins
Authors: Vieira Mariana , Glenadel Leal Paula
Published: November 2022

Emanuele Coccia nos propõe uma verdade vegetal a partir de uma reflexão filosófica que vai além da interpretação do ser animal, dando espaço para uma linha de pensamento baseada nas plantas e nos fungos, por exemplo. Apoiados na leitura de Coccia, somos capazes de dar um passo a diante, propondo a compreensão, ainda que parcial, de uma poética dos rios que, aqui, se alicerçará a partir da apreciação de dois poemas: Fui al río, de Juan L. Ortiz e Viagem de Max Martins. Nossa leitura se apoiará, sobretudo, na simbologia da água presentes em Bachelard e na relação poética da figura dos rios com a morte, a transformação e a angústia, a partir, sobretudo, de Lacan e de Heidegger.
