Øen Læsø, beliggende i Kattegat 4 Mil (30 Km.) SØ. for Frederikshavn, er henved 2 kvadrat Mil (ca. 103 kvadrat Km.) stor. Syd for selve hovedøen ligge nogle lave, ubeboede Holme, "Rønner": Færøn, Kringelrøn, Langerøn o.fl., som dog nu maa betragtes som smeltede sammen med Læsø, da de kun ved fløjvande skilles fra denne ved lange, smalle og lave "Løb".

Nước thải chăn nuôi có hàm lượng chất hữu cơ và dinh dưỡng cao được thải ra môi trường tiếp nhận. Mặc dù phần lớn nước thải từ chăn nuôi lợn được xử lý bằng hệ thống biogas nhưng nồng độ COD, amoni (NH4+) và phốt phát (PO43-) vẫn rất cao. Nghiên cứu này sử dụng hệ thống ba ngăn kỵ khí-thiếu khí-hiếu khí (AAO) để loại bỏ đồng thời các chất ô nhiễm hữu cơ, nitơ và phốt pho thông qua các thí nghiệm liên tục ở quy mô phòng thí nghiệm. Nước thải đầu ra hệ thống biogas có COD từ 2000-5000 mg/L, NH4+ từ 155-188 mg/L, và PO43- từ 13,0-21,95 mg/L được sử dụng làm đầu vào của hệ thống xử lý. Kết quả cho thấy khả năng xử lý chất hữu cơ (COD) đạt 82%, amoni đạt 70%, nước sau xử lý dưới ngưỡng cho phép theo QCVN 62-MT:2016/BTNMT. Để tối ưu hóa hệ thống AAO xử lý nước thải có nồng độ chất ô nhiễm cao, cần có những nghiên cứu sâu hơn về điều kiện vận hành như thời gian lưu và lượng oxy cung cấp.

Authors:   Specialist in Fingerprint Examination Department of CFLP, Kozdrój-Miller Karolina , Klemczak Krzysztof ,   Research and technical specialist in Fingerprint Examination Department of CFLP
Published: June 2021

Since the publication of the National Research Council Report titled: Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward for the United States Department of Justice, there has been an international discussion on scientific character of fingerprint examination, and Poland has not been excluded from it. The approaches to fingerprint identification in the United States of America and Poland are completely different. In the first case, the holistic standard is used basing exclusively on the experience and conviction of the expert, and in the other one, numerical standard precisely determining the minimum number of consistent individual characteristics (minutiae) required for identification. Both standards have both advantages and significant drawbacks. A good way out of this situation would be finding a solution combing the holistic and numerical approaches and the project “Mapping of friction skin ridges impressions” implemented by the forensic experts of Fingerprint Examination Department in the Central Forensic Laboratory of the Police makes constitutes contribution to that.

Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Faculty of Law and Administration, Ignaszak Mateusz
Published: June 2021

Forensic experts in the field of fingerprint examination are prone to cognitive errors that can affect the opinion issuing process. A study was conducted to determine if students exhibiting certain intensities of two personality traits: the need for cognitive closure and controllability, have a predisposition to be better fingerprint examination experts compared to others. The study consisted of three stages: completion of personality questionnaires, training in fingerprint examination, and finally a fingerprint examination – related task. The task was appropriately staged to introduce cognitive illusions, led by which, the subjects were more likely to give incorrect answers. No significant correlation was found between the studied characteristics and correctness, biases, caution, and decisiveness in the task performed. The subjects were significantly more likely to give incorrect answers. There was a positive correlation of time with the number of correct answers. A significant positive correlation was also observed between the preference of order and caution in task performance. The results obtained can be used in typing individuals who will perform better at comparing fingerprints.

Matthew Henry’s Preaching and Pastoral Ministry at Hackney, 1712–1714
Authors: Harman Allan M.
Published: June 2021

From Chester, Matthew Henry moved to Hackney (then on the northern border of London) for the final two years of his life and ministry. As a leading dissenter, he was immediately called to preach extensively beyond his congregation. In addition, he was working on his Exposition and publishing sermons. But various challenges faced him, in particular ill-health and tensions within his family. As at Chester, he had no formal elders or deacons to assist him. His extant diary from 1705 to 1713 gives a detailed account of his ministry. He displayed the Puritan ideal of a pastor/preacher, together with involvement in other dissenting interests. His ministry shows his deep devotion to New Testament teaching on the role of shepherding God’s flock.

Redeeming Redemption: Violence, Desecration, and Atonement
Authors: Steed Christopher D.
Published: June 2021

The red stain of Cain presents an evocative approach to the atonement based on theological reflection and doctoral studies in the social sciences on human violence and the notion of symbolic exchange. The value and worth of Jesus in exchange for our demerit and history of devaluing others and dishonoring God provides a fresh commendation for an evangelical theology of substitutionary atonement that is also participative. Violence is not incidental to the cross; it is central to its potency both for redemption and for healing. KEYWORDS: Violence, desecration, atonement, Cain, value, power, symbolic exchange
Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese Christian Responses, and a Kuyperian Ecclesiological Perspective
Authors: Harefa Surya
Published: June 2021

This article explores the issue of official worship at Yasukuni Shrine and how Japanese evangelical Christians have responded to this problem. Established in 1869 as a mixed Shinto, military, and imperial site, it enshrined the souls of those who died for the emperor. The government used it to mobilize Japanese people for its fascist agenda during the first half of the twentieth century. After the disestablishment of the shrine as a state facility in 1946, many right-wing conservative politicians and war-bereaved families have worked ceaselessly to revive its special status. After surveying Japanese Christians’ responses, the ecclesiological background of their arguments is analyzed and the implementation of
Abraham Kuyper’s ecclesiology to enhance their political engagement is proposed. KEYWORDS: Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese Christians, Abraham Kuyper, church and state, ecclesiology

Orang Jawa Menjaga Keharmonisan (Tinjauan Filsafat Moral Kant dalam Upacara Tradisional Nyadran)
Authors: Brilyandio Felix
Published: June 2021

Abstrak:

Fokus studi saya dalam artikel ini adalah menggali makna ritual, bahasa, dan simbol-simbol pada upacara tradisional nyadran. Studi ini saya tinjau dari filsafat moral Immanuel Kant. Metode penelitian dalam artikel ini adalah studi kepustakaan tentang nyadran, kebudayaan Jawa, filsafat Jawa, dan filsafat moral Kant. Dari studi ini saya menemukan bahwa nyadran merupakan ungkapan dan cara orang Jawa menjaga keharmonisan, baik dengan dirinya sendiri, alam semesta, dan Tuhan. Keharmonisan dengan diri sendiri berakar pada rasa (sikap batin), yang mana dalam filsafat moral Kant disebut moralitas otonom. Nilai-nilai kebersamaan dalam nyadran adalah perwujudan menjaga keharmonisan dengan alam semesta, sebab nilai-nilai tersebut menjadi media perekat sosial bagi para warga demi kebaikan bersama. Hal ini seperti yang diuraikan Kant dalam gagasannya tentang moralitas, di mana nilai-nilai moral manusia mengarahkan pada kebaikan bersama. Bagi Kant, Tuhan adalah Kebaikan tertinggi. Dalam Nyadran, cara orang Jawa menjaga keharmonisan dengan Sang Kebaikan Tertinggi nampak dari berbagai atribut dan doa-doa yang dipanjatkan, serta dilanjutkan dalam kebaikan sehari-hari.

Authors: Mayolla Innoccentius Gerardo
Published: June 2021

Salah satu serial TV populer di dunia adalah House of Cards. Serial TV bertemakan politik Amerika Serikat ini menarik perhatian banyak pihak karena memperlihatkan secara representatif dan transparan bagaimana politik AS yang sebenarnya terjadi. Melalui tokoh fiksi utama Frank Underwood, pemirsa menyadari bahwa politik bukan suatu yang dapat ditanggapi secara polos sebagaimana tampil dalam layar kaca. Frank Underwood sendiri memiliki persona seorang politisi yang pragmatis, licik, berani, seorang negosiator, orator dan diplomat ulung, tetapi juga sekaligus tak ragu bertindak kejam dan bengis untuk menumpas lawan politik demi mencapai tujuan dan ambisi kekuasaanya. Karakter Underwood ini sejalan dengan pemikiran filsuf dan diplomat besar Florence dan Italia, Niccolo Machiavelli. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis hendak meninjau dan menelaah filsafat politik Machiavelli dalam karya besar Il Principe (Sang Penguasa) terhadap tokoh fiksi serial TV ini, Frank Underwood. Metodologi yang penulis gunakan adalah studi literatur atas karya Machiavelli dan observasi mendalam atas serial TV House of Cards. Penulis menemukan adanya kesejajaran pandangan politik Machiavelli dan praksis politik yang dijalankan Underwood dalam kongres dan pemerintahan Amerika Serikat.
Políticas de empoderamiento político y económico de las mujeres
Authors:   , Mora Cuervo Ruth Astrid
Published: June 2021

La lucha por la autonomía, la igualdad de derechos, y las reivindicaciones específicas de las mujeres ha sido una constante histórica, y se ha venido impulsando con más fuerza en los consensos internacionales de los últimos 40 años. Las políticas públicas son herramientas mediante las cuales el Estado puede cumplir su obligación de garantizar todos los derechos sin discriminaciones de género. Por lo tanto, su adecuada formulación en concordancia con los estándares internacionales de derechos humanos y con la Agenda Regional de Género, es un paso imprescindible para alcanzar la igualdad sustantiva de género. El objetivo de esta investigación es realizar una comparación normativa del Plan de igualdad de oportunidades y derechos (PIOD) de Argentina y la Política Pública Nacional de Equidad de Género (PPNEG) de Colombia respecto a la garantía de derechos humanos y el empoderamiento económico y político de las mujeres. Se utiliza un enfoque metodológico cualitativo, de tipo estudio de caso. Se usa una evaluación normativa a partir de un enfoque de derechos humanos. Se encuentra que ambas políticas cumplen con la mayoría de los contenidos mínimos de la autonomía económica y política de las mujeres y los estándares de derechos humanos, no obstante, las cifras de cada país demuestran que la igualdad de género en sus diferentes dimensiones aún no se ha alcanzado. Se concluye que las políticas de igualdad de género de estos países coinciden en establecer acciones afirmativas y diferenciadas en pro de los derechos de las mujeres, pero difieren en su formulación debido a sus características socioculturales.

EVALUATION OF EPIDIDYMORCHITIS BY HIGH FREQUENCY GRAY SCALE AND COLOR DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Authors: Sharma Akhil , R. Verma Sameer , Prajapati Neeraj , Kumar Mogha Vinod
Published: June 2021

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography is extremely well suited to study of scrotum and its contents.
Ultrasound is simple to perform, quick, non-invasive, low cost effective, easily reproducible, widely
available and does not involve irradiation of gonads.It is very helpful in differentiating intratesticular and extratesticular
pathologies.
Ultrasound is the modality to differentiate solid from cystic lesions of testes and with the introduction of color Doppler, it
becomes easiear to assess the viability of testis in cases of torsion and guiding the treatment accordingly.
USG is helpful in differentiating torsion/ischaemia of testis from the acute inammatory pathologies.
Role of other Modalities: CT and MRI have dominated imaging of other regions of the body, they have certain restrictions in
evaluation of scrotal diseases. Computed Tomography delivers radiation to gonads, On the contrary, MRI imaging is expensive
and not readily obtainable. Radionuclide scan helps in equivocal presentations to assess vascularity within the testis in setting
of torsion but its readily availability and cost is the main set back.
AIM: To assess the role of high frequency gray scale and color doppler ultrasonography in evaluation of epididymorchitis.
MATERIAL & METHODS: SAMPLE: 50 cases of scrotal pathology were taken using High-frequency real time gray scale
ultrasonography and Color Doppler . Patients were referred to our department for scrotal ultrasonography and Doppler study
by department of Urology and department of Surgery of SRMS IMS Bareilly.
RESULTS: In the present study total evaluated cases of epididymoorchitis were 15,among them 11 cases were acute and 4
cases were of chronic epididymoorchitis.. Majority of cases were having unilateral involvement with 1 case of B/L involvement.
USG gray scale found heterogenous echogenicity or reduced echogenicity in acute EPO while the echogenicity was reduced
with calcication in chronic EPO. .Doppler study found increased vascularity in majority of cases of acute EPO with reactive
hydrocele while vascularity was either normal or increased in chronic EPO without any reactive hydrocele.
CONCLUSION: High-frequency gray scale USG helps in clear evaluation of anatomical structural alterations associated with
acute scrotal inammatory diseases, and color Doppler USG is highly sensitive in diagnosing acute scrotal pathology. In
addition, Color Doppler USG accurately differentiates between testicular ischemia and torsion from acute inammatory
diseases in acute painful scrotal conditions.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proved to be valuable in the detection of glaucomatous
damage. With its high resolution and proven measurement reproducibility, OCT has the potential to
become an important tool for glaucoma detection. This manuscript presents the capabilities of the OCT technology evaluate
retinal nerve ber layer thickness in normal and glaucoma patients
Method: -A prospective, non-randomized, observational cross-sectional study was done at Rotary eye hospital, Navsari, from
September 2019 to March 2020. Groups were divided in Control and glaucoma group and further Glaucoma patients were also
subdivided in to Glaucoma Suspect, OHT, NTG and POAG. Patient went under comprehensive examination and selected
patient went undergone measuring average retinal nerve ber layer thickness (RNFL) was by using ZEISS CIRRUS HD OCT.
Results: - In overall 120 eyes of patients, 60 eyes of control group & 60 eyes of glaucoma groups were analysed. The average
RNFL measurement were signicantly thinner in glaucoma group with compared control groups were 80±14 and 89±12,
(P<0.01). All four quadrant RNFL thickness were analysed in Glaucoma Suspect, OHT, NTG and POAG which was statistically
highly signicant. Superior quadrant RNFL thickness among groups were
105±17, 112±16, 90±17 and 85±18 m respectively (p= < 0.01).Mean RNFL thickness showed a decrease in thickness from
Non-Glaucoma to Primary Open angle glaucoma (POAG) shows statistically signicant difference.
Conclusions: OCT is important instrument for measuring RNFL thickness. Study shows difference in normal and glaucoma
patients and different types of glaucoma patients. OCT measurement will help in early detection of glaucoma as well as in
keeping an eye on progression of glaucoma.

Published: June 2021

Cutis Laxa (CL) / generalized elastolysis / dermatomegaly is a heterogeneous group of disorders which
are related to elastic tissue abnormalities. Depending on extent of abnormal elastic tissue, it may be mild
or severe. Severe form presents with loose, inelastic, wrinkled skin resembling ill tted suit. Infant has characteristic facial
features like old man appearance, a hooked nose, a short columella, a long upper lip with long philtrum, and everted lower
eyelids. CL is categorised as congenital or acquired and the inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive, or X linked.
Occasionally a few metabolic disorders like Menkes disease, disorders of glycosylation are associated with Congenital CL.
Acquired cutis laxa has developed after a febrile illness and various inammatory skin diseases. Here we present a case of a
full-term SGA (small for gestational age) female child born with features of CL.

Authors: Mourougayan V. , Venkat Nithin
Published: June 2021

Purpose: Inadequate mobility of Atasoy and Kutler V-Y ap
Method: Prospective clinical study
Result: Adequate mobility was achieved to cover the stumps of terminal amputation of ngers
Conclusion: Modied V-Y volar ap which is reliable and can be easily executed by junior reconstructive surgeons with good
postoperative outcome in terms of sensation, length and appearance
Summary: Inadequate mobility of Atasoy's V-Y advancement ap to cover the nger tip raw area prompted us to modify the
Atasoy's technique. Both the digital neurovascular bundles are identied and included in this modication, thereby,
increasing the mobility and reliability with good recovery of function, sensation and appearance. None of aps was lost out of
twenty two nger amputations treated by this modied technique. This technique can be easily executed by junior trainee
doctors as we incorporate the relatively larger vessels(unlike the digital perforators)which are easily identied by simple loupe
magnication.

Published: June 2021

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac arrest is an emergency situation in and outside hospital setup carrying high
risk of mortality. But if early Cardio Pulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) is initiated, the survival
rate can be improved. Therefore, the awareness and knowledge of CPCR in medical and paramedical professionals is an
important factor deciding the outcome of CPCR and survival rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional,
questionnaire based study was conducted by assessing 10 questions each regarding awareness of CPCR and basic
knowledge of practical skills of CPCR in all Postgraduate (PG) students of a medical college cum tertiary hospital. After
applying exclusion criteria, the study was conducted in 233 PG students.The results were analyzed using an answer key based
on 2015 guidelines of American Heart Association (AHA) for CPCR. RESULTS: 50.64% students secured >60% marks, while
38.20% and11.16% students secured 40-60% and <40% marks respectively in knowledge based questionnaire. 26.18% of
students were familiar with the use of Automated External Debrillator (AED). All PG students (almost 100%) who participated
in the study were interested in learning CPCR. Students who received previous CPCR training were17.16%. CONCLUSION:
Though the knowledge score was excellent (>60%) in 50% of the study population, it was not adequate. Training of CPCR
should be emphasizedmore as PG students are at the forefront of the tertiary level of health care system.

Background: Patients with strabismus often suffer from several psychosocial and emotional
consequences. Strabismus surgery address both the functional and psychosocial complaints as both
these parameters affect patients' quality of health.
Aims &objectives: To assess change in quality of life after surgical correction
Methodology: This prospective study was conducted among 50 patients who underwent strabismus surgery at the
Ophthalmology Department of Dr. M.K. Shah Medical College and Research Centre, Ahmedabad. Information regarding selfesteem, self-condence, self-assessment of intelligence, effect on employment options, and interpersonal relationships.
Quality of life was measured through SF-8 questionnaire. Assessment was done preoperatively and at three months after
surgery for any change in these parameters.
Results: Mean age of 37.2 ± 10.2 years were enrolled. About 58.0% were female. Only 5 out of 50 (10.0%) experienced
preoperative diplopia. Majority of the patients responded that strabismus caused embarrassment (86.0%), trouble in eye
contact (86.0%), negative self-esteem (80.0%), camouage (70.0%). After surgery, 49 (98.0%) patients were satised.
Improvement in self-esteem, ability to meet new people, relationship and employment, were reported by 43 (86.0%), 31 (62.0%),
12 (24.0%) and 5 (10.0%) and patients. SF-8 scores subscales (except bodily pain, vitality, role emotional subscales) were
statistically signicant differences (P<0.05). The average postoperative utility value was 0.86 ± 0.23 with gain of 0.12 ± 0.14
gain.
Conclusion: Patients with strabismus have psychosocial difculties. Strabismus corrective surgery causes signicant
psychosocial and functional benets and improve the quality of life.

Concatenative Complete Complementary Code Division Multiple Access and its Fast Transform based Implementation
Authors: Mizuyoshi Hikaru , han chenggao
Published: June 2021

Over multipath channels, \textit{complete complementary code division multiple access} (CC-CDMA) and \textit{convolutional spreading code division multiple access} (CS-CDMA) provide {\it inter-channel interference} (ICI) free transmission with an enhanced {\it spectral efficiency} (SE). However, the {\it convolutional spreading} (CS) operation of the systems is computationally complex and involves a high \textit{peak-to-average power ratio} (PAPR). Address such issues, we propose the \textit{concatenative complete complementary code division multiple access} (CCC-CDMA). Since the CCCCs can be generated from the rows of the Walsh-Hadamard or \textit{discrete Fourier transform} (DFT) matrices, the CS operation can be implemented using corresponding {\it fast transforms} (FTs) to reduce computational complexity. Simulation results shown that enlargement of {\it spreading factor} (SF) strengthens the robustness against clipping noise and the binary CCCC generated by Walsh-Hadamard matrix has excellent robustness against Doppler frequency shifts.
