Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de demokratikleşme sürecinin kritik noktalarından biri olan 1950 Genel Seçimleri ve siyasi propaganda konusu, Adana özelinde incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda yapılan araştırmaya tabii tutulan Adana, Çukurova bölgesindeki verimli topraklar üzerine kurulu ve gelişmiş bir şehir olması dolayısıyla çalışma konusu olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmada, 1950 Genel seçimleri üzerinden, siyasal davranışların sosyo-ekonomik temellere göre şekillendiği varsayımına yerel ve tarihsel bir dayanak sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. Bu noktada, Adana’da yerel düzeyde siyasi parti teşkilatlanmalarının önemi, partilerin seçim propaganda faaliyetleri, bölge halkının siyasi hayata bakış açısı ve partilere yaklaşımı, partilerin siyaseti ne şekilde toplumsallaştırdığı gibi konular araştırmanın problematik çerçevesini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın giriş bölümünde, genelden özele doğru bir bakış açısı çizmek amacıyla, seçimler, propaganda faaliyetleri kapsamında ele alınmıştır. Sonraki bölümlerde ise siyasi parti teşkilatlanmaları, partilerin seçim propaganda faaliyetleri, milletvekili aday tespitleri ve seçim sonuçları etraflıca tetkik edilmiştir. Makalenin yazımında kullanılan Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivi belgeleri, TBMM Arşivi, Adana yerel gazeteleri, ulusal gazeteler ve araştırma-inceleme eserler araştırmaya nitelik kazandıran başlıca kaynakları teşkil etmiştir. Ayrıca, seçmen ve seçmen davranışı açısından 1945 ve 1950 yıllarına ait nüfus sayımı ve Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu tarafından sağlanan bilimsel verilerden de son derece fayda sağlanmıştır.

Published: November 2024

In an increasingly globalized world, the development of professional foreign language skills is crucial for technical university students, but the actual level of teaching is frequently insufficient. This highlights the need for specialized foreign language teaching adapted to authentic work contexts. The paper explores the principles and methods for enhancing professional foreign language instruction, allowing for the creation of a teaching system customized to meet the future needs of students. The objective of this article is to examine the principles and methodologies for developing professional foreign language competence tailored to students specializing in technical specialties, with a focus on their future needs. This analysis draws on applied linguistics, discourse analysis, and language education theory. Main approaches involve utilizing corpus analysis and genre studies to identify target language usage, applying needs assessment and a competency model in curriculum design, and incorporating real-life technical tasks and texts to contextualize learning. The emphasis is placed on a multidimensional set of competencies, comprising communicative skills, analytical abilities, intercultural expertise, and strategic skills. Interactive project-based methods are provided to involve students in hands-on activities. Ongoing program evaluation is implemented to maintain relevance and ensure accountability. This research-driven strategy reshapes foreign language education into specialized training tailored for the international medium. The article offers useful insights on designing curricula, teaching strategies, and assessment methods with essential professional language competencies in focus. This approach can improve learning outcomes and better prepare future specialists for working in multicultural and multilingual settings. Additional applied research is necessary to refine this integrated system through job analyses, pedagogical oversight, and monitoring of prolonged learning upshots. The theoretical significance involves broadening and advancing existing research on language education principles, needs analysis, and communicative competence development, thereby providing a comprehensive framework for creating an optimized approach to professional language teaching. The practical relevance is found in offering guidance to curriculum developers, program coordinators, and educators aiming to enhance language competence outcomes and equip learners for the intricate demands of internationalizing professional careers.
МИРОТВОРЧА РОЛЬ ОСВІТИ В УНЕМОЖЛИВЛЕННІ ВІЙН НА ПЛАНЕТІ
Authors: Помиткін Едуард
Published: November 2024

Актуалізуються проблеми спрямованості та змісту освіти, її ролі в розвитку особистості та в історичному поступі людства. Мета статті – аналіз відповідності змісту освіти її миротворчій функції та окреслення стратегічних орієнтирів розвитку миротворчої освіти. У дослідженні були використані методи анкетування, індивідуальної співбесіди, біографічний метод, математична статистика. Окрема увага приділялася аналізу шкільних предметів і підручників на предмет розвитку особистості учнів. Зміст освіти розглянуто з позиції впливу на розвиток особистісних якостей, які сприятимуть унеможливленню війн на планеті, таких як прагнення до краси, добра та істини, ідентифікація з власним духовним «Я», морально-духовна саморегуляція, відповідальність за близьких, країну, людство, планету. Утверджується ідея необхідності зміни освітніх пріоритетів на такі, які унеможливлять насильство, що зумовлює потребу у створенні загальнолюдського ціннісного модулю освіти. Наводяться результати дослідження відповідності змісту освіти її миротворчій функції і різнобічному розвитку особистості на прикладі початкової школи. Узагальнення отриманих результатів дозволило встановити, що для більшості респондентів повний обсяг шкільних знань у дорослому житті не знадобився. Найбільш потрібними у практичному плані виявилися предмети, які вивчалися в початковій школі.  Для дослідження спрямованості змісту шкільних предметів і підручників на різнобічний розвиток особистості учня виокремлено фізичний розвиток, розвиток спілкування, емоційно-вольовий розвиток, інтелектуальний, творчий, моральний і духовний види розвитку. Аналіз результатів дав підстави вважати, що існуючі шкільні предмети безпосередньо не спрямовані на виховання загальнолюдських цінностей і не сприяють зміцненню миру. Акцентується увага на тому, що до змісту освіти різних народів має бути включений загальнолюдський компонент миротворчої освіти, який формує вищі духовні цінності, серед яких краса, добро, істина, сприяє розвитку свідомості особистості. Його зміст має ґрунтуватися на духовних цінностях людства, які беруть свої витоки з мистецтва, релігії, науки та народної мудрості. Розробка та впровадження миротворчої освіти мають здійснюватися під патронатом таких авторитетних міжнародних організацій як ООН та ЮНЕСКО. У перспективі мова йде про системні та цілісні навчальні курси, спрямовані на розвиток особистості, зокрема, саме тих її якостей, які сприяють унеможливленню війн на планеті.

Подана класифікація тенденцій за наступними критеріями: за розповсюдженням: мегатенденції, що характерні для більшості країн світу; субтенденції, які відносяться до певного контексту, наприклад, освіти дорослих;  регіональні, що стосуються певного регіону; за рівнем виокремлення та впровадженням: транснаціональні (наддержавні), національні, субнаціональні (регіональні); за часовою тривалістю: наскрізні (властиві декільком періодам розвитку), локальні (властиві одному періоду); за наслідками: позитивні, негативні, дискурсивні, яким неможливо дати однозначну оцінку; за характерними ознаками: спільні, суперечливі (відмінні); за динамікою прояву: прогностичні, динамічні (швидкоплинні),  еволюційні (передбачувані); за ступенем підпорядкованості: головні; підпорядковані; за ступенем прояву: актуальні; потенційні.
ADDICTION TO THE WORK AND OCCUPATIONAL BURNOUT OF PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS
Authors: Ласковський Мирослав
Published: November 2024

The problem of work addiction and professional burnout are extremely important areas in the specific profession of a soldier, and even more so an officer holding a managerial function in the hierarchical structure of the armed forces. Therefore, raising qualifications is an inseparable element of military service, especially due to the growing need to develop one's own professional competences. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at the phenomena that also occur in the military service. In order to examine the problem of workaholism and occupational burnout among professional soldiers, an in depth analysis of individual dimensions of these phenomena was carried out, especially in terms of possible relation-ships, as well as in relation to socio-professional factors. Empirical research among officers made it possible to diagnose the situation in this regard and formulate appropriate conclusions. The results of the analyzes were presented on the basis of a diagnostic survey carried out in 2021 on a research sample consisting of officers studying at one of the Polish military universities. Standardized measurement tools and selected elements of descriptive and correlation statistics were used in the research.
ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЯ КОМУНІКАТИВНОЇ ПІДГОТОКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ЛІКАРІВ: ДОСВІД ЯПОНІЇ Й УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Гутор Любов
Published: November 2024

У статті виокремлено прогресивні ідеї японського досвіду цифровізації комунікативної підготовки майбутніх лікарів, що можуть сприяти покращенню якості освітнього процесу в закладах вищої освіти (ЗВО) галузі охорони здоров’я; схарактеризовано методику розвитку комунікативних навичок майбутніх лікарів за допомогою технології «цифровий сторітелінг (ЦСТ) та обґрунтовано доцільність її впровадження у вітчизняних ЗВО; висвітлено й обговорено результати імплементації методики комунікативної підготовки за допомогою ЦСТ у ЗВО України.  Виявлено, що цифровізація є одним із стратегічних напрямів розвитку  й модернізації систем вищої освіти у Японії й Україні. Наукові розвідки засвідчують, що поява та активне використання цифрових технологій спричинили розвиток цифрового сторітелінгу, який у сучасній Японії активно поширюється у формі освітніх проєктів і майстер-класів. Обґрунтовано, що ЦСТ є ефективним інструментом цифровізації комунікативної підготовки. У результаті аналізу літератури виявлено вагомі японські проєкти у галузі вищої освіти, орієнтовані на розвиток комінікативної компетентності за допомогою ЦСТ. Вони передусім спрямовані на промоцію цифровізації; формування готовності суспільства й майбутніх фахівців до впевненого й ефективного використання можливостей Інтернету та соціальних мереж із метою комунікації; покращення соціальної та професійної цифрової грамотності, а також навичок усного спілкування. На основі отриманих результатів та ідей японського досвіду застосування ЦСТ під час комунікативної підготовки, ми розробили методику навчання та оцінювання навичок комунікації за допомогою технології ЦСТ і впровадили її у трьох освітніх закладах України. У статті за допомогою низки загально-наукових соціологічних і  статистичних методів дослідження доведено ефективність нової методики розвитку комунікативних навичок. ЦСТ може бути дієвим інструментом мотивації студентів, розвитку вільного мовлення та участі в активному обговоренні, що було досить складно в умовах термінового переходу на дистанційне навчання у зв’язку із пандемією COVID-19 та війною Росії в Україні. Результати дослідження свідчать, що цифровізація в системі вищої освіти Японії є прогресивною тенденцією та характеризується значними науково-практичними результатами. З урахуванням прогресивних ідей японського досвіду організації комунікативної підготовки, доцільно впроваджувати навчальні курси на основі ЦСТ для різних академічних цілей, зокрема для розвитку усних комунікативних навичок.

Authors: Харевич Іван
Published: November 2024

Стаття присвячена аналізу зарубіжного досвіду психолого-педагогічної підготовки майбутніх богословів католицької церкви. Автор підкреслює важливість теологічної освіти для формування духовенства, а також соціокультурну роль Церкви у сучасному світі. Різні країни мають власні підходи до професійної підготовки священиків, що відображає як культурні традиції, так і релігійні особливості. Аналіз охоплює приклади Австрії, Німеччини, США та інших країн, де богословські школи зазвичай інтегровані в університетські системи, що дозволяє поєднувати теологічну та світську освіту. Особлива увага приділяється підготовці богословів у католицьких семінаріях, де акцент робиться на вивченні теології, літургійної практики, пастирського керівництва, духовної формації та ролі сучасної Української греко-католицької церкви у формуванні морально ціннісних та етичних орієнтирів молоді  У статті детально розглядається досвід таких навчальних закладів, як Філософсько-богословський коледж імені Папи Бенедикта XVI в Австрії, «Колегіум Орієнтале» в Німеччині, Українська Папська Колегія святого Йосафата в Римі, Семінарія святого Павла в США. Особлива увага приділена ролі психологічної та педагогічної підготовки у професійному формуванні майбутніх богословів УГКЦ. Зазначено, що духовні лідери повинні володіти не тільки глибокими теологічними знаннями, але й мати психолого-педагогічну підготовку для ефективної роботи з парафіянами, вирішення моральних та соціальних проблем, а також надання духовної підтримки. Розглянуто інноваційні методи, що застосовуються у богословській освіті в зарубіжних країнах, зокрема, інтеграцію психологічної підготовки для розвитку емоційної стійкості та міжкультурної комунікації. Зроблено висновок, що вивчення зарубіжного досвіду може бути корисним для вдосконалення системи богословської освіти в Україні, зокрема для Української Греко-Католицької Церкви.

Published: November 2024

Linear equations and linear functions are important materials for students in developing their in-depth knowledge of arithmetic and algebra. However, there is a gap between potential development and actual development, which causes obstacles for students in understanding the concepts of these two materials. This gap results in other obstacles, including a fixed mindset in mathematics. The results of interviews with secondary school teachers in Indonesia also show that students have problems in number operations and motivation to learn mathematics. The design used in this study uses a descriptive qualitative study based on the results of literature studies, interviews with subject teachers, and the author's experience as an educator. This study also uses the theory of zone proximal development and mathematical mindset as a frame for preparing alternative material for equations and linear functions based on visual representations in mathematics. The results of this study contribute to providing alternative materials to reduce these barriers using a visual representation approach in mathematics. The author also provides alternative teaching arts to anticipate obstacles that arise when implementing mathematics material based on visual representation.

Method for evaluating partially generated data
Authors: Isaienkov Ya. O. , Mokin O. B.
Published: November 2024

Generative models, such as autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models, have become an integral part of innovation in various fields in recent years, including art, design, medicine, and more. Due to their ability to create new data samples, they open broad opportunities for automation and process improvement. However, assessing the quality of generated data remains a challenging task, as traditional methods do not always adequately reflect the diversity and realism of the generated samples. This is particularly true for partial data generation, where changes are applied only to specific parts of an image, significantly complicating the assessment of their quality.
This work examines various approaches to evaluating generative models, including automatic metrics such as Inception Score and Fréchet Inception Distance, precision, recall, density, and coverage, as well as a human-in-the-loop method such as HYPE. While these metrics have proven effective in evaluating the results of traditional generation, their use in the case of partially generated data may be inappropriate due to their limitations.
To address this issue, the paper proposes a new method for evaluating partially generated data that involves the human factor. This method is based on analysing transformed images by users, who identify the areas that have been altered, and evaluates their quality using precision, recall, and F1-score metrics by seeking intersections between actual altered areas and those selected by users using IoU. The proposed approach provides a more objective assessment of the realism and quality of generated image fragments during transformations.
A practical example of applying the developed method is presented using a dataset of panoramic dental images, where the quality of three models was evaluated: 1) a GAN based on a U-generator; 2) the same model with post-processing of the output image and segmentation mask; and 3) a self-validated GAN. The evaluation was performed by 30 individuals. The average F1-scores for these models were 0,78, 0,27, and 0,20, respectively. Since lower F1-scores in this case indicate better results (the more accurately users identified the transformations, the worse the model performed), the best model by this metric is the self-validated GAN, which is also supported by subjective assessments mentioned in the authors’ work.

Context: In Côte d'Ivoire, sugarcane plays an important role in the economy. However, its production is constrained by biotic factors, particularly orange rust caused by Puccinia kuehnii. Pathogenic diversity of strains is not widely understood. Existing control methods are ineffective and limited. The aim of this study was to determine the pathogenicity of Puccinia kuehnii strains, and to evaluate anti-fungal activity of essential oil-based formulations against this disease. Materials and methods: Strains 51bB and 381Z were evaluated for infectivity by foliar spraying plants of variety SP711406 under semi-controlled conditions at the Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). Curative control was carried out by foliar spraying plants with formulations based on natural substances of Ocimum gratissimum L, Zingiber officinale and Cymbopogon citratus, at 1000 and 2000ppm. The synthetic product copper oxide was used at a single dose of 5000 ppm. Results: Strains 51bB and 381Z showed infection rates of 62.26 and 67.36% respectively after a four-month incubation period. Severities of 30.64% (51bB) and 30.23% (381Z) were observed. ZinC1 and ZinC2 treatments had an estimated incidence reduction rate of 64.28%. Treatments based on natural substances achieved a reduction in severity of over 50%. The CymC2 treatment was the most effective, with a reduction rate of 86.04% followed by ZinC1 with rates of over than 50% reduction rate of incidence and severity due to the synthetic product was 50 and 48.83% respectively. Conclusion: Puccinia kuehnii strains induced orange rust disease in sugarcane. The effect of essential oil-based formulations has been proven on the disease under semi-controlled conditions.

Introduction: The physiological disorder experienced by most women in Indonesia every month is primary dysmenorrhea (60-70%). The incidence of primary dysmenorrhea was experienced by female students at SMAN 4 Kediri City, as many as (90.8%) of all female students. One factor is stress.
Objective: Determine the relationship between stress and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea at SMAN 4 Kediri City.
Methods: This research used the Analytical research design correlation with a cross-sectional approach, a population of 258 students, and a simple random sampling with a sample of 39 female students. The instrument used was questionnaires, with Spearman rank correlation analysis.
Result: The results of this study were moderate stress 28.2% and moderate pain dysmenorrhea 53.8%. Statistical tests showed the correlation coefficient of Spearman rank sig value was 0.030; there was a significant relationship with a reasonably strong relationship strength of 0.347. Stress is the cause of dysmenorrhea to prevent dysmenorrhea can be minimized by preventing stress.
Conclusion: the higher the stress, the higher the risk of dysmenorrhea in female students at SMAN 4 Kediri City. The higher the stress level experienced by female students, the greater their risk of experiencing dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain). This suggests that psychological factors such as stress can affect physical health conditions, particularly related to menstrual disorders in adolescent girls. To reduce the risk of dysmenorrhea, it is important to pay attention to stress management in students.

Authors: Kadang Yuniharce , Megawati Megawati
Published: November 2024

Background: Antioxidants are compounds that can protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, both from inside the body (endogenous) and outside (exogenous). Many plants have antioxidant properties, including gambling (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels). This plant is known to have various bioactive components that can capture and neutralize free radicals; Jamblang fruit has antioxidant activity caused by the content of flavonoid compounds in it. These compounds can be utilized as topical preparations for skin care products.
Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract concentration of jamblang fruit (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels) on the physical stability of the cream.
Methods: This research is conducted in an experimental laboratory. Jamblang fruit extract was obtained using the maceration method using 96% ethanol. The extract was then formulated in the form of a m/a type cream preparation with concentration variations of 1% (FI), 2% (F2), and 3% (F3). The physical stability test of the cream includes viscosity, spread, adhesion, and pH value tests. The data is analyzed to determine the effect of adding extracts and the storage time on the physical stability of the cream.
Results: The test showed that an increase in the concentration of ethanol extract from jamblang fruit led to a decrease in pH value, viscosity value, and adhesion and could increase dispersion. It was concluded that the variation in the concentration of ethanol extract from jamblang fruit influenced the physical properties of M/A cream.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the variation in the concentration of ethanol extract of jamblang fruit affects the physical properties of the oil cream in water (M/A). The effects caused include a decrease in pH value, a reduction in viscosity, a decrease in adhesion, and an increase in dispersion. These changes will ultimately affect the physical stability of the cream preparation.

Authors: Atmadani Rizka Novia , Hidayati Ika Ratna , Arum Dinar Famora
Published: November 2024

Background: Self-medication or the use of over-the-counter drugs by the general public, including among professional students, is becoming an increasingly common practice. However, this practice can carry risks if done without adequate knowledge, especially for pharmacist students who will later play a role in providing education related to drug use.
Objective: This study aims to identify factors that affect the level of knowledge of pharmacist program students regarding self-medication.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire, and the recorded data were analyzed using Logistic regression models. In total, 100 (66.7%) of 150 students practised self-medication at least once recently.
Results: We observe that female students were more likely to have a higher level of knowledge about self-medication than male students—aOR = 4.52, 95 % CI = 1.41-14.42. Meanwhile, students living alone were less likely to have a higher level of self-medication knowledge than those staying with somebody else —aOR = 0.47, 95 % CI = 0.23-0.97.
Conclusion: The effect of students who practised self-medication on a higher level of knowledge about self-medication was significant among students who live with somebody else—aOR =2.85, CI = 1.01-8.01 but not among students who live alone. There are more attempts to educate the students about self-medication and the possible risks of doing self-medication. We suggest a similar study can be observed among students during their bachelor study or in their Professional Program.

Background: The lack of reliable biochemical markers for accurately diagnosing preeclampsia
contributes signicantly to adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate
the relationship between serum uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum calcium levels in patients with preeclampsia.
Methodology: A prospective case-control study was conducted at Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, over a
period of 12 months. A total of 84 antenatal women beyond 24 weeks of gestation were enrolled, including 42 with preeclampsia
and 42 normotensive controls. Maternal levels of uric acid, calcium, and CRP were compared using independent sample t-tests,
and ROC analysis was performed to assess the predictive value for preeclampsia. Results: The mean CRP value
(7.22±1.09mg/L) and serum uric acid level (8.79±1.21mg/dL) were signicantly elevated in the preeclamptic group, while
serum calcium was notably lower (7.56±1.08mg/dL) compared to normotensive women (p < 0.001*). The area under the curve
(AUC) for uric acid was 0.853 (p < 0.001*), demonstrating 73.3% sensitivity and 87.7% specicity. For serum calcium, the AUC
was 0.809 (p < 0.001*), with 76.1% sensitivity and 93.1% specicity. When combined, the AUC for all three parameters was 0.919
(p < 0.001*), achieving 100% sensitivity and 86.4% specicity in predicting preeclampsia. Conclusion: Maternal
hyperuricemia, elevated CRP, and decreased calcium levels are associated with preeclampsia. The combined assessment of
these three biochemical markers provided the highest accuracy for predicting the condition.

Published: November 2024

Background: Laparotomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries by general surgeons, where
we open the abdomen and search for any pathology. The Clavien-Dindo classication is an accepted
surgical complication classication system that grades complications based on the extent of therapy required for their
treatment. The study's main aim was to assess various grades of complications post-laparotomy with respect to the CalvienDindo classication. Methods: This study was a prospective and descriptive study conducted from June 2023 to July 2024. 180
patients who underwent laparotomy during this period were included and followed up in postoperative period and all the
complications developed till discharge/death were recorded. Results: Complications were more common in emergency
laparotomies (40%) as compared to elective laparotomies (30%). In elective laparotomies, 24 patients who had complications, 4
(17%) belonged to grade 1, 13 (54%) were in grade 2, 2 (8%) were in grade 3a, 2 (8%) were in grade 3b, 1 (4%) in grade 4a, 1 (4%)
in grade 4b and 1 (4%) in grade 5. In emergency laparotomies, 40 patients who had complications, 8 (20%) belonged to grade 1,
15 (37.5%) were in Grade 2, 3 (7.5%) were in grade 3a, 5 (12.5%) were in grade 3b, 1 (2.5%) in grade 4a and 1 (2.5%) in grade 4b
and 7 (17.5%) in grade 5. Conclusion: The Clavien-Dindo classication can be used in all hospital settings as a simple way for
postoperative complications.

Published: November 2024

Upper abdominal pain can be secondary to either cholelithiasis or gastro duodenal diseases. Because
of the ease of access to sonography, the diagnosis of cholelithiasis has increased. The sonographic
nding of cholelithiasis may be incidental and acid peptic disease may be the true cause of pain. Because of this overlap in the
symptomology of biliary and gastroduodenal pathologies there are a percentage of patients with no symptomatic relief. Thus,
this study aims at evaluating the efcacy of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) in all USG proven cholelithiasis patients
undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and evaluating the post-operative symptomatic relief. Objective- To
evaluate the value of UGI endoscopy as a routine investigative tool in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic
cholecystectomy and to nd post-operative symptomatic relief in the groups. Methodology –This prospective observational
study was done in 105 patients of age group 18-80 years and of both genders diagnosed with cholelithiasis on USG , pre
operatively endoscopy was done for all the patients. A two week and two months post-operative follow up was taken for all the
patients. SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Results - On postoperative day 14, among 105 study subjects, 77
patients whose symptoms were relieved out of which 23 had normal endoscopy and 54 had pathology on endoscopy. While the
28 patients with persistent symptoms all had of pathology on endoscopy. 2 months postoperatively, among 105 study patients,
85 patients whose symptoms were relieved out of which 23 patients were those with normal endoscopy, 62 patients had
presence of pathology on endoscopy. While 20 patients with persistence of symptoms were those who had of pathology on
endoscopy. Conclusion-To manage patients preoperatively, improve postoperative outcomes and patient counseling, it is
important to do preoperative endoscopy in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Published: November 2024

Ventral hernias can be congenital or acquired and are usually due to previous surgical procedures,
trauma, and weaknesses in the abdominal musculature resulting in discomfort, functional impairment.
Repair aims at minimizing the risk of recurrence while avoiding complications such as infection, chronic pain, or poor cosmetic
outcomes. Mesh repair has emerged as a cornerstone in the treatment of ventral hernias. Despite the widespread adoption of
mesh repairs, there remains questions about technique of mesh placement, and factors including the size and location of the
hernia, patient characteristics, surgeon preference, and the perceived risk of complications such as infection or mesh migration
and post operative hospital stay.in the current study we aim to nd the post operative stay in both the groups. Objective- To
compare the duration of hospital stay in sublay and onlay mesh repair in the treatment of ventral hernias. Methodology – in this
prospective study 50 patients were taken onlay and 50 patients were taken in sublay group. Patients with post laparotomy
midline incisions, recurrent hernia and primary hernias were included .Any patient with strangulated or obstructed hernia or
with local signs of inammation; patients unwilling to participate were excluded. A written informed consent was taken. SPSS
25 was used for statistical analysis. Results - Onlay mesh repair is associated with a signicantly longer postoperative stay
(mean of 3.84 days) compared to Sublay repair (mean of 2.68 days), with a p-value of 0.0157 indicating statistical signicance.

Published: November 2024

Background: - Mesenteric bromatosis (MF) is a monoclonal, myobroblastic, neoplastic proliferations
that tend to show a locally aggressive behaviour, which is prone to aggressive local recurrences, but
lacks metastatic potential. Primary or spontaneous MF is rare and occurs in the absence of any predisposing conditions. Case
presentation: - We report a case of a 35-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain associated with no other
symptoms. Her per abdominal examination revealed a rm mobile mass on palpation in the mid-abdomen. Her computed
tomography scan revealed an 8.3cm x 7.8cm x 4.7cm non-enhancing hypodense lesion in the hypogastric region. She
underwent laparoscopic surgical excision of the abdominal mass which was sent for histopathological examination. The
microscopy showed proliferating broblasts along with entrapped skeletal muscle bers, nerve bundles, and a few blood
vessels, with no atypia, mitosis, or necrosis, ndings were consistent with mesenteric bromatosis. Conclusion: - Mesenteric
bromatosis is a rare tumour that generally grows at a slow rate and is asymptomatic. The nal diagnosis depends on the
histopathology, which remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

Published: November 2024

One of the most legendary, colorful and versatile personalities of all times – Srimanta Sankardeva (1449 –
1568 A.D.) thrived in the socio- religious history of eastern Bharatavarsa in the 15th and 16th Centuries.
Srimanta Sankaradeva was the founder of Vaishnavism in Assam. The new Vaishnavism movement of Assam was initiated by
Sankardeva in the 15th century. The new Vaishnavism is concerned with the faith in devotional worship of Vishnu. Vaishnavism
has an all-comprehensive aspect it represents a synthetic culture that includes what may be variously called Bhakti Cult, Ek
Saran Dharma. Sankardeva's Vaishnavism went against the spirit of traditional Brahmanical faith which is based on the notion
of caste, worship through various manifestations of Devi. During Sankardeva time, it was a very much caste – ridden society
ruled by precepts sanctioned by the Brahmin priests. The Sudra and other low caste people were treated as subordinate and
they had to bow before the priestly class. This article is an attempt to explore the Sankarveda Philosophy eradication of
casteism and teaching of equality and fraternity

Published: November 2024

HIV is one of the viruses that belong to the Retroviridae family of retroviruses. Neurological problems, metastatic cancers, and immunodeciency
are associated with it. Since antiretroviral therapy (ART) was developed, the incidence of HIV-related central nervous system (CNS) illnesses has
substantially decreased and the prognosis for those with HIV has improved tremendously. Even yet, a signicant portion of people die from HIVrelated CNS diseases. When it comes to early diagnosis and prompt treatment, advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have improved
the prognosis for those living with HIV. Central nervous system (CNS) symptoms of HIV encompass a wide range of diseases. Progression-related
primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), HIV encephalopathy, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), CNS toxoplasmosis, and other
opportunistic infections-related illnesses like CNS cryptococcosis, CNS tuberculosis, and immune reconstitution inammatory syndrome (IRIS)
are among them.

Aims And Objectives: To assess the effect of High-intensity interval training on the cognitive functions of young healthy adults. Methodology: a
cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 healthy adults (15 - participants doing HIITregularly named as cases here, 15 participants NOTDOING
HIIT at all is named control here) in the age group of 18-25 years. Sleep quality scale as used to asses the quality of sleep in both groups. The
following tests were used to assess the cognitive functions -1. Stroop test : congruent and incongruent 2. MoCA Test 3. Rey-osterrich complex
gure test. Results: Control group is showing positive correlation between habitual sleep duration and Stroop test score reaction time, we observed
that, as habitual sleep duration increases then stroop test score also increases, however it is not signicantly correlated. Control group shows
insignicant association (p value > 0.05), when habitual sleep duration is correlated with MoCAscore. In control groups, Sleep quality score when
correlated with Stroop test reaction time score, MoCA score and Rey Osterich complex gure test score, it showed non- signicant association.
Cases are evaluated two times, before performing HIIT (Pre - HIIT) and after performing HIIT ( Post HIIT). Before HIIT, habitual sleep duration
score is correlated with MoCA score which showed insignicant association. After HIIT, when habitual sleep duration score is correlated with
MoCAscore it showed signicant association. Conclusion: HIITshows signicant improvement in the cognitive functions.
