Published: August 2021

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases type 2
diabetes risk; however, postpartum diabetes screening rates are low. Using
semi-structured interviews and focus groups, this study investigates the understanding
of GDM and
its relationship to future
diabetes risk and diabetes prevention among patients with public or no
insurance (n = 36), health care providers
(n = 21), and clinic staff (n = 9) from Federally Qualified Health
Centers. Five
main themes emerged: 1) general
understanding of GDM diagnosis with focus on neonatal complications; 2) variable recall of diet, exercise,
and weight recommendations; 3) overwhelming
medication and self-monitoring routines; 4)
short-term focus of type 2 diabetes risk and screening; and 5) limited understanding of all options
for diabetes prevention. The results may inform diabetes screening and
prevention interventions in primary care settings.

Theatre and Democracy: Building Democracy in Post-war and Post-democratic Contexts is the outcome of a longstanding collaboration between two centers of applied theatre education and research in South-Africa and Norway, respectively (2017–2022). It presents knowledge, critical conversations and artistic work related to issues of democracy, both historical and contemporary. Within the global framework of our current (post)democracies, thirteen chapters contain stories and analyses from artists and researchers who all study, understand and facilitate theatre as a political-performative medium in dealing with community-specific democratic issues. The reader encounters studies and reports from specific cases of applied theatre, community culture development and performance activism in countries such as South-Africa, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Norway. There is a common interest in theatre as a platform for active citizenry, as well as several attempts to explore theatre as a platform for “political subjectivation” (Rancière).
Increasing posterior condyle cut for high-flex knee prosthesis may injure popliteus tendon origin: a cadaveric study
Authors: Phruetthiphat Ong-art
Published: August 2021

Background: High-flex total knee prosthesis designs were proposed to improve flexion in total knee replacement (TKA). One of high-flex features is increasing posterior condyle cut which put popliteal tendon in higher risk of injury and may result in gap changes. Methods: Thirty-six popliteal origin sites from eighteen fresh cadavers were measured distances between the posterior rim of popliteal tendon origin and posterior border of the lateral femoral condyle (distance A) using digital “Vernier caliper”. The mean distances were compared to posterior condyle thickness of different prosthesis designs. Results: The mean of distance A on the right knee was 9.59 ±1.66 mm (6.03-12.70) while the mean of distance A on the left knee was 9.13 ± 1.78 mm (5.80-11.07). Posterior condyle thickness of the femoral prostheses varies upon their design and size from 7.4 to 10 mm for standard model and from 8.2 to 12.5 mm for high-flex design. Possibilities of popliteal tendon injury during posterior condyle bone cut were 16.7% to 66.7% for standard model and 27.8% to 97.2% for the high-flex design. Conclusion: High-flex TKA prosthesis with thicker posterior condyle relates to higher possibility of popliteal tendon origin injury compared to standard one.
Atypical Presentation of Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Disease: Presentation and Surgical Management
Authors: Al Wadiy Ahmed
Published: August 2021

Sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease presentation varies greatly between being asymptomatic, acute abscess and chronic sinus. Acute abscess constitutes almost half of the initial presentation of such disease. To our best knowledge, acute abscess presentation hasn’t been reported as a result of acute trauma in the literature. In this paper, we report a case of atypical presentation of sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease after a fall on the back a week earlier. Surgical management of the abscess, incidental finding of the pilonidal disease and lessons learned fr om such case is discussed in detail.
Current Status of Nerve Transfers: “Supercharge End-to-Side Transfer in Severe Cubital Syndrome”
Authors: Martinez EJ Salmeron
Published: August 2021

Supercharge end-to-side (SETS) technique has been increasingly implemented in the treatment of nerve pathologies. It was known for its use in ulnar injury, and although it seemed that its usefulness was more directed to injuries due to ulnar nerve section, with this work and based on all the literature available to date, the aim is to assess the possibilities of implementation based on the results of the articles published in compression-type injuries, especially those classified as severe that have little treatment available to improve their evolutionary course, and where their use to date was doubtful. A compilation is made of all the evidence to date of cubital tunnel syndrome, focused on treatments, and on the emergence of the SETS technique as a therapeutic option. The purpose of the study was to collect and review the indications, results, and complications of end-to-side axonal super feeding transfer of the interosseous nerve anterior to the ulnar nerve. Twenty-one articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were finally reviewed, most of them retrospective (level of evidence IV) and some review or case series (level of evidence II/ III). The data has been pooled and analyzed focusing on the primary outcomes: intrinsic muscle recovery and complications. SETS is a successful procedure with low morbidity, which can restore the function of the intrinsic musculature in patients with severe proximal ulnar nerve compression injuries thanks to the anterior interosseous nerve (median branch) that serves as a donor. Although the technique has already begun to be introduced in the sketch of the treatment of the lesion, to implement it with assured success, prospective studies should be carried out that corroborate it with greater certainty than the articles published on the subject to date. Even so, it has been possible to verify as previous indications for performing supercharge: a normal donor nerve electromyogram (it will be performed in a pronator square), a preoperative electromyogram of the injured nerve that must have a reduced amplitude of compound muscle action potential (demonstrating axonal loss) and an electromyogram to know if the denervated motor endplates remain receptive to reinnervation (check they have spontaneous activity and this is shown by fibrillation potentials and / or acute positive waves).
Evaluation of Alterations in Uterine Blood Flow using Doppler Ultrasonography in Pregnant, Genotyped Beef Cows and Heifers Consuming Endophyte-Infected Tall Fescue Seeds and Supplemented with Rumen-Protected Niacin
Authors: J Moisá Sonia
Published: August 2021

Fescue toxicity is a nutritional-related disease generated in a forage-based beef herd exposed to ergot alkaloids (i.e. ergovaline) present in endophyte-infected tall fescue that produces important economic losses. The combination of a genetic test for susceptibility to fescue toxicity and supplementation with rumen-protected niacin could potentially reduce the toxic effects of ergovaline on beef cow and heifers’ reproductive performance during mid-gestation by improving uterine blood flow. Our main objective was to use color Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate the occurrence of any alteration in uterine arterial blood flow in pregnant, genotyped beef cows and heifers exposed to endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds and supplemented with rumen-protected niacin. We hypothesize that genetically-tested susceptible control beef cows will have narrower uterine arteries and decrease blood flow as compared to tolerant cows that received rumen-protected niacin. Rumen-protected niacin was selected for this study due to its well-known effect as a vasodilator. Therefore, it might help cope with blood vessel constriction generated by ergovaline present in endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds. Results showed the negative effect of exposure to ergovaline in the uterine blood flow of pregnant beef cattle through an increase in the resistivity index. No Doppler parameters detected positive effects of genetic and nutritional treatments.

Published: August 2021

Dark tourism is one of those tourism types that currently attracts growing interest and varying interpretations. The present study aims to determine the importance of specific dark tourism motives (namely those relevant to war and terrorism) for dark tourism development, taking destination and country image into consideration. The research was carried out in the context of Turkey, a developing country, which exhibits dark tourism potential in relation to the motives explored. An explanatory quantitative approach was followed. The results reveal the importance of motivations, previous experience, intention to visit and the significance of different tourism types according to destination image in a tourism context. The findings shed light on aspects that can drive dark tourism development, without falling into the fallacy of prioritizing a “better mousetrap (dark tourism site) that nobody will want”.
Air connectivity for leisure tourism the way forward
Authors: Arvanitis Pavlos
Published: August 2021

International tourism arrivals by air account for almost 60% of all tourism arrivals. Despite the spectacular increase in air connectivity there are distinct differences between connectivity types, with direct and indirect connectivity, airport connectivity and hub connectivity. Tourism destinations are impacted by the air connectivity type that is available in their nearby or serving airport. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the tourism dynamics resulting from the emerging transformations in air connectivity, and the implications on international air travel. Increased air connectivity is linked to economic growth and development, however direct air connectivity has been driving both tourism and air transport industries. The introduction of new aircraft which can fly longer and more economically is likely to transform direct connectivity and hub connectivity at the same time. Airline business models have evolved over the last 20 years and it is highly likely that this transformation will continue to unfold since the market and the passengers’ needs are constantly evolving. Implications for airlines and destinations will be discussed, outlining the trends which are dominating the industry in terms of connectivity and its relation to tourism destinations.

ResearchGate, a Scientific Social Network, which Is Working as Growing Database and Cannot be Ignored neither Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons nor Publishers
Authors: Tymofieiev Oleksii , Fesenko Ievgen
Published: August 2021

ResearchGate (RG) was launched in May 2008 by two physicians (Ijad Madisch and Sören Hofmayer) and computer scientist Horst Fickenscher as a social network platform for scientists, which is counting 20 million users.2 RG is also named as networked socio-technical system for scholarly communication3, academic social network site3, and academic social network site4. Citations, reads, RG Score, h-index, comments, personal communication via the platform and much more functions of RG are so impressive for every author. Moreover, the collection of articles` titles and abstracts/summaries with a “search” option made RG a new sophisticated database.
The principles of RG are helping to increase the dissemination of practical orientated science like the oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). In RG`s we can find the articles from open access OMS journals like Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons,5,6 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases,7,8 etc.
RG option “Citations” is more than useful for editorial offices and publishers as it helps to track the citation in the journals included to Scopus.
It facilitates monitoring of the implementation/compliance of one of the 14 journal selection criteria for inclusion into Scopus. “Citednes of journal articles in Scopus” is important criteria from a
category Journal Standing.9
Citation of the articles published in our journal is easy to track with the RG. For example: the article of Le et al10,11 was cited at June 16, 2021 by Weyh et al12,13 published in Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics.
In summary, although discussions about the operation of the ResearchGate exist,14 the benefits of this growing platform as a database should not be underestimated.

Within the present paper, we attempted to study specific features of inhibitory control in junior schoolchildren with the handedness of the different types. assessment of inhibitory control was fulfilled with the help of the method of recurrent biological feedback. The assessment of the type of handedness was performed through the set of tasks. resistance of inhibitory processes and stress resistance were identified in the right-handed children compared to the left-handed and mixed-handed children. This study might be useful in the area of psychophysiology of individual differences in children. Despite the abundance of literature on the study of executive functions, there is still no understanding of how inhibitory processes develop in the ontogenesis of children with different lateral preferences.

Published: August 2021

The article discusses the conditions for transshipment of cargo in the port and their impact on the efficiency of the production process. The efficiency of the port's production process for handling ships and wagons is largely determined by the options for work that are implemented in this process. The problem under consideration is due to the difference in the parameters of technological lines and the resources used for various options for handling cargo in the port. There is provided a comparative characteristic of options for handling cargo in the port. It has been established that the direct option of transshipment of cargo without additional delays of ships and wagons is the most preferable for the seaport, but its implementation in the production process of the port is very difficult and in some cases impossible. The main reasons for the impossibility of using direct options for overloading are indicated. The formula for estimating the costs of cargo passing through the ports is given and it is established in which case the preference is given to the direct transshipment option. For clarity, various schemes for the movement of goods in the port are given, which can be used for operational planning and in the allocation of port resources for handling vehicles. An express method is proposed for the operative selection of the option of cargo transshipment at a minimum of labor intensity. Restrictions have been established in the form of resources fixed at the transshipment complexes and the correspondence of the loading of the complex to its carrying capacity. The expediency of the priority allocation of resources for the processing of the vessel according to the direct option when forming preference functions for solving the problems of operational planning and regulation of the processing of vehicles in the port has been proved.

Published: August 2021

The article considers the problems of preservation and the most economical use of existing energy sources with minimal emissions into the environment, which are urgent in modern conditions. Tightening measures to exclude or minimize the negative impact on the nature is an objective vital necessity for the survival of humanity on the planet. The search for the most environmentally friendly fuel is an important task for researchers in various fields of modern science. The measures of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on tightening the environmental requirements at sea and the advantages of the conversion of transportation means, including ships, from black oil to liquefied natural gas are outlined. It has been stated that since 01.01.2020 IMO has put forward the requirements for the sulfur concentration in the initial fuel up to 0.5%. The sulfur content in marine fuels is illustrated, according to the current standards. Possible advantages for the Russian Federation are considered in the event that appropriate legislative acts are adopted in the field of shipbuilding and the operation of ships. The advantages of liquefied natural gas compared to other fuels are listed. The forecast values of the demand for liquefied natural gas for bunkering ships for 2020–2040 are illustrated. Research has been carried out and a formula has been derived to determine the conditions for the transition of ships to liquefied natural gas. Existing and possible in the near future projects for the generation of liquefied natural gas in the Arctic zone of Russia are considered. It is concluded that the Russian Federation has vast deposits of natural gas and scientific and technical potential for the development and revival of shipbuilding both within the country and abroad.
Optimal maneuvering of vessel towards emergency object
Authors: Bobrovich Maxim Sergeevich , Menshikov Vyacheslav Ivanovich , Penkovskaya Kseniya Vyacheslavovna
Published: August 2021

The article considers the review of planning for the search of a vessel in distress as a tactical method of conducting a search and rescue operation, which is a set of organizational and technical measures that contribute to the detection of the coordinates of the location of the vessel in distress. It has been proved that the effectiveness of the considered planning method depends on the a priori given area, in which the search and detection of the person in distress is conducted. Modern vessels are equipped with such technical means of navigation and communication that clearly solve the problem of uncertainty in the current location of the emergency vessel. The well-known tactical methods of conducting a search and rescue operation can be expanded by organizing the rescue vessel’s getting to a given point in the shortest time interval, which makes it possible to increase the probability of saving the lives. Provided that the technical means of navigation and communication ensure the constant data transfer on the location of the emergency object, there is developed a model of quick approaching the rescue vessel to the emergency object. When drawing up the model of the method, it was assumed that the coordinates of the emergency vessel are constantly broadcast, and the emergency object itself under the influence of external factors (wind, current) drifts rectilinearly and at a constant speed. In the course of evaluating the method effectiveness the performance criterion was used as an efficiency indicator. To determine the minimum time of the ship's leaving the zero point of the Cartesian coordinate system, when the velocity vector of the ship coincides to the positive direction of the abscissa, for the emergency object, it is sufficient to choose the optimal trajectory, according to the Pontryagin maximal principle. The conditions that ensure the application of the Pontryagin principle are met, and therefore the boundary value problem under consideration for a given ship’s dynamics, boundary conditions, and given constraints has the only solution that allows maneuvering of the rescue ship to be carried out in the minimum time (with maximum speed) and with a high probability ratio of life saving equal to 1.
Music in the Polish-Jewish Theatre in the First Decades of the 20th Century in the Light of Surviving Sources
Authors: Jaczyński Michał
Published: August 2021

The article presents the few surviving documents concerning the incidental music to Polish-Jewish plays performed on the Polish stages in the first decades of the 20th century (until 1939). This kind of theatre was to constitute a space for the dialogue between the Jewish and Polish communities. The idea of its creators was to reject the existing, usually negative, way of presenting Jews in Polish theatre as well as to show authentic Jewish life — customs, rituals, music and dances — on stage. A breakthrough in both of these areas came with the so-called Jewish plays of Gabriela Zapolska — Małka Szwarcenkopf and Jojne Firułkes. The idea of the Polish-Jewish theatre was then developed by Marek Arnsztajn (Andrzej Marek). Referring to the surviving sources (scores as well as press reviews and notes in directors’ copies of the scripts), the author analyses music to two performances of Małka Szwarcenkopf, and presents the musical appendix to the Polish version of An-ski’s Dybbuk published in 1922. The analysis seeks to capture the composers’ specific ideas of Jewish music and to discover the sources of their inspiration. The second objective of the article was to present the cultural background against which the Polish-Jewish theatre evolved.

Published: August 2021

Malignant trophoblastic tumors (TO) include invasive and metastatic cystic drift, choriocarcinoma, TO of the placental bed, and epithelioid TO. They are rare, mainly in women of reproductive age, and most importantly, they are always associated with pregnancy. To date, the Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology has accumulated a large and unique experience of modern diagnostics and treatment of patients with various forms of malignant TO. An obligatory stage of the examination is ultrasound diagnostics of the pelvic organs. In addition, performing an ultrasound examination during the treatment period, along with monitoring the level of chorionic gonadotropin, makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of treatment, diagnose tumor resistance and ascertain the onset of remission.

The effect of perioperative magnesium sulphate on the total anesthetic and analgesic requirement in neck surgery
Authors:   Senior Resident, Department of Anaesthesiology, P.D.U. Government Medical College and Hospital, Rajkot-360001, INDIA., Patel Krupa R
Published: August 2021

Background: The major perioperative goal is to provide adequate depth of anaesthesia along with optimum perioperative analgesia. One of the IV adjuvant that has been shown potential in pre-emptive analgesia is magnesium sulphate. This study was designed to assess the effect of perioperatively administered IV magnesium sulphate on anaesthetic and analgesic requirements. Materials And Methods: Sixty patients of ASA class 1, 2, 18-65 years of age scheduled for neck surgeries were randomly divided in to two groups. Group M received 40 mg/kg, magnesium sulphate in 100ml normal saline as loading dose over 20min followed by 8 mg/kg/hour as infusion till the end of the surgery during total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and atracurium in neck surgeries. Group C received 100 ml normal saline as loading dose over 20min and thereafter continuous infusion of same volume of normal saline as received by group M. We observed total requirement of inj.propofol and inj.atracurium intraoperatively and duration of postoperative analgesia in both the groups. Results: The mean VAS score was consistently high in Group C than group M during first 24 hours which was statistically significant (p<0.05). The mean duration of total analgesia was significantly higher in group M. And total requirement of propofol and atracurium in control group were significantly higher compared to group receiving Mgso4.Conclusion: Perioperative use of magnesium sulphate as preloading and infusion shows reduced analgesic and anaesthetic drugs requirements in neck surgeries.
Comparative study of desflurane requirement and recovery characteristics in entropy guided general anaesthesia with or without dexmedetomidine infusion
Authors:   Department of Anaesthesiology, Shridevi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Hospital, Tumkur, Karnataka, INDIA., Nayak Rajesh R
Published: August 2021

Background: Newer anaesthetics such as desflurane have smaller blood-gas partition coefficient than older ones like halothane. Desflurane is preferred because it leads to faster onset of anaesthesia and faster emergence from anaesthesia. However, desflurane is considered to be more expensive than other volatile anaesthetics. Highly selective alpha two adrenoceptor agonists like Dexmedetomidine reduce anaesthetic requirements. Hence this study was designed to compare the effect of Dexmedetomidine infusion on desflurane consumption and recovery characteristics under entropy guided general anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients aged between 18-55 years belonging to ASA I and II scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. Group D patients received a loading dose of inj Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/ kg, over 10 minutes before the induction of anaesthesia, and 0.5 µg/ kg/ hour infusion following induction of anaesthesia till the end of surgery. Group P patients received similar volumes of normal saline as bolus before the induction and maintenance infusion till the end of the surgery. Desflurane concentration was adjusted to maintain response entropy values between 40 to 60 and based on clinical variables like heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Muscle relaxation was guided by TOF count. HR, NIBP, MAP, SPO2, ENTROPY values were recorded. The total desflurane consumption was recorded from Anaesthesia gas module of GE Datex-Ohmeda S 5 Advance system. At end of surgery, desflurane was discontinued and patient extubated after adequate recovery and when TOF ratio was more than 0.9. Time to eye opening, extubation, response to verbal commands were recorded. Results: The mean consumption of desflurane at the end of one hour was significantly less in group D with p<0.001 (Group P 21.04±6.33 ml/hr and Group D 14.44±1.83 ml/hr). Eye opening time was significantly less in group D with p<0.001(Group P 297.60± 89.97sec and Group D 169.80±22.48 sec). Time for response to verbal commands was significantly less in group D with p<0.001 (Group P 423.60±113.02 sec and Group D 269.80±45.29 sec) Conclusion: Intraoperative Dexmedetomidine infusion reduces desflurane consumption, hastens recovery from desflurane during entropy guided general anaesthesia.

Authors: Носова Е.С. , Жуков И.В. , Радулов С.П.
Published: August 2021

Психические расстройства – один из наиболее изученных факторов риска суицидального поведения. Степень выраженности суицидального риска при психических заболеваниях варьирует в зависимости от диагноза и демографических характеристик [1], что обозначает направление для дальнейших исследований вопроса на локальном уровне. Цель: изучение нозологической структуры поступлений в психиатрический стационар в связи с суицидальным поведением и идентификация уязвимых групп для разработки профилактических мероприятий. Материалы и методы: на основе анализа архивной медицинской документации ГБУЗ КО «Калужская областная психиатрическая больница им. А.Е. Лифшица» за 2017-2018 гг. изучено 435 случаев госпитализаций пациентов с суицидальным поведением. При формировании выборки использована методика К.А. Отдельновой (1980) для исследования повышенной точности (t=2,0; p=0,95) [2]. Статистическая обработка данных проводилась с использованием статистических таблиц и приложения MicrosoftExcel. Результаты: по частоте встречаемости диагностические рубрики расположились следующим образом: F20-F29 (37,47%), F00-F09 (17,7%), F10-F19 (12,64%), F90-F98 (8,97%), F70-F79 (8,5%), F30-F39 (7,13%), менее 10% – иные рубрики. Доказательно показано, что рубрика F70-F79 и рубрика F21 статистически значимо сопряжены с риском госпитализации с суицидальными мыслями, шифр F10.2 – с риском суицидальной попытки. Первичные поступления чаще наблюдаются в группе пациентов с суицидальными попытками, повторные – в группе пациентов с суицидальными мыслями. Однако с позиций диагноза статистически значимой является зависимость только в рубриках F30-F39 и F10-F19, первичные поступления пациентов с этими психиатрическими диагнозами чаще были обусловлены суицидальными попытками. Выводы. Обсуждаемый фактический материал исследования дает общее представление о наиболее распространенных психических расстройствах, сопровождающих суицидальное поведение госпитализированных пациентов. Представленная нозологическая структура госпитализаций определяет необходимость развития реабилитационных мероприятий, оптимизации терапевтических интервенций и усиления социальной поддержки пациентов.

Актуальность. Описаны эффекты кортексина при синдроме хронической усталости, травматической болезни головного мозга и черепно-мозговой травме, резистентной параноидной шизофрении, психосоматических нарушениях у ликвидаторов радиационных аварий, разных видах инсультов. Оптимизация процесса лечения с использованием кортексина способствует восстановлению и стабилизации высших мозговых, когнитивных и двигательных функций, активизации обмена дофамина. Цель исследования: изучение динамики когнитивных расстройств при включении кортексина в схему лечения пациентов с алкогольной зависимостью, перенесших генерализованный тонико-клонический приступ на момент госпитализации. Материалы и методы: в исследование включены 40 пациентов в возрасте от 23 до 60 лет с диагностированной по МКБ-10 алкогольной зависимостью (F10.2), перенесших генерализованный тонико-клонический приступ (G40.6), рандомизированные в две группы. Основная группа состояла из 20 человек, всем им был назначен кортексин в дозе 10 мг в течение 10 дней. Группа сравнения включала 20 человек, получавших стандартное лечение (дезинтоксикационная и ноотропная терапия, витаминотерапия). Для оценки когнитивных расстройств до и после лечения использовалась Краткая шкала психического статуса (MMSE). Результаты. Введение в схему лечения когнитивных расстройств при алкогольной зависимости кортексина, оказывающего нейропротекторное действие, улучшает когнитивные функции: средний балл по шкале MMSEдо и после лечения кортексином статистически значимо (р<0,05) возрастает у пациентов основной группы ‒с 25±2,64 до 29±0,48, в группе сравнения ‒с 26±1,18 до 27±2,35.
População idosa e letramento em saúde: reflexões acerca do acesso e da não utilização dos serviços de saúde
Authors: Tristão Flavio
Published: August 2021

Segundo o prospecto da população mundial das Nações Unidas divulgado em 2019, estima-se que a população total do Brasil é de aproximadamente 210 milhões de habitantes. Destes, cerca de 30 milhões correspondem à população acima de 60 anos, representando, portanto, 14%. Este fato nos permite notar a considerável expansão da população idosa no transcorrer dos últimos 70 anos, visto que na década de 1950, a população acima de 60 anos representava apenas 4,9% do total de habitantes. Ao situar esta dinâmica populacional que envolve o aumento da expectativa de vida dos brasileiros e, consequentemente, de sua população idosa, cabe direcionar uma reflexão acerca do acesso e da utilização do sistema de saúde por parte deste estrato populacional. Sem pretender buscar aprofundar a íntima relação entre a integralidade da atenção e a disponibilidade dos serviços, vale lembrar que a primeira apresenta uma enorme abrangência, passando pela necessidade de compreender e assimilar o conceito ampliado de saúde, o modelo organizacional do sistema de saúde e o desenvolvimento de políticas de saúde que terão influência direta no cotidiano da população. Este trabalho surge como um recorte da dissertação de mestrado em que foram investigadas as causas do absenteísmo dos usuários aos serviços de saúde, porém para o público geral. Portanto, agora, os resultados da referida dissertação serão analisados a partir dos participantes entrevistados que tinham mais de sessenta anos, o que compreende dez dos vinte e seis usuários que não haviam comparecido às consultas agendadas. Ao buscar compreender a utilização dos serviços de saúde, bem como sua “não utilização” (o absenteísmo dos usuários aos serviços de saúde) e as causas deste fenômeno, é necessário entender as formas em que se dão as condições de acesso aos serviços e assim realizar uma conexão entre esta nítida contradição entre os recursos oferecidos e sua não utilização. Alguns fatores que têm interferência direta no acesso aos serviços de saúde de forma adequada e em tempo oportuno são nesta investigação considerados, tais como a disponibilidade dos serviços, os recursos financeiros envolvidos, o grau de informação deste público e sua aceitabilidade acerca dos diferentes eventos que compõem a produção do cuidado. Os resultados evidenciam uma necessidade de se avaliarem criteriosamente as dimensões do letramento em saúde para se poder intervir com eficácia e dar o respectivo empoderamento e controle às pessoas e comunidades que, tanto em função do baixo nível educacional quanto da idade avançada, podem apresentar menores níveis de letramento em saúde e, consequentemente, estar mais vulneráveis com relação ao seu estado de saúde.

The study offers an overview of the proper names included in Hungarian linguistic atlases. First, the lexicons of these atlases are examined, emphasising the reasons behind the low number of proper names. The linguistic atlases printed in Hungarian to date contain 6090 entries, but only 81 proper names. Anthroponyms can be found in 20 atlases, mostly in suffixed forms or nicknames. Other proper names include toponyms and the names of planets. Atlases from Romania are unique in this regard as the same headwords were collected most consistently. Existing linguistic atlases can be better utilised by onomastic research in geographic common nouns and words that have become anthroponyms (the names of professions, crafts, adjectives for internal or external characteristics) are also considered, as the number of these is much greater than that of proper names.

Béb község kétnyelvű ragadványnévrendszere
Authors: Hauber Kitti
Published: August 2021

The paper deals with the questions regarding the nature and functions of nicknames in language use and presents the former and current nickname stock of Béb, a small village in the Transdanubian area of Hungary as indicators of the strong correlation between names, a community and its history. For two centuries the rich, heritable German nicknames represented the family relations and the cultural and dialectical features of the ethnically and linguistically homogeneous population of Béb. However, the direct consequences of World War II launched the unstoppable process of ethnic mixing and language change, which had an impact on the nickname stock as well: the former nickname stock began to fade with the oldest generations and was replaced with a new, bilingual nickname stock. The structural, semantic and lingual aspects of the nicknames used by a mostly monolingual younger generation can provide information about the cognitive processes which played a significant role in their creation.
Hydrogeological and Hydrochemical Characterization of Coastal aquifers with Special reference to Submarine Groundwater Discharge in Uttara kannada, Karnataka, India

Published: August 2021

Submarine groundwater discharges to the coastal ecosystems have been recognised as a source of dissolved chemical substances that cause chemical and ecological effects on sea waters. Groundwater, in many coastal areas, becomes contaminated or at least enriched with a variety of chemical substances and can have higher concentrations of dissolved solids than river water. As a result SGD makes a larger contribution to the ﬂux of dissolved chemical compounds than river run-off. Therefore, the present investigation has been carried out to understand the process of submarine groundwater discharge based on hydrological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical components. Accordingly water balance components were evaluated based on hydrological and hydrogeological investigations. Hydrochemical parameters were also evaluated to understand the impact of seawater intrusion during both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of 2019. Study revealed that, there are signatures of considerable quantity of submarine groundwater discharge in parts of Honnavara, Kumta, Ankola and Karwar talukas. The influence of seawater in coastal aquifers is quite rare all along the coast of Uttara kannada district which is attributed to high groundwater recharge(15-20%) occurring in catchment areas.

Marine environment represents a very important and actual topic. Water bodies cover more than two thirds of the earth’s surface and even after thousands of years, scientists have yet to fully uncover their mysteries. At the same time climate, change has visible effects with a growing dynamics in the last decades and the marine environment is very sensitive to these changes. In order to mitigate the effects of the climate change there is an increasing need of reducing the CO2 emissions and from this perspective the marine environment represents an important source of clean renewable energy. In this respect, the Journal of Marine Science represented even from the beginning an open framework dedicated to the presentation of the discoveries and insights in marine science research.
