OBJECTIVES: Hyperphagia is a highly stressful, life-threatening feature of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). It is important to assess this complex behavior accurately over time. This study aimed to develop and validate the Pediatric-Youth Hyperphagia Assessment for Prader-Willi syndrome (PYHAP) as a tool targeting children and adolescents.METHODS: After an extensive literature review and qualitative interviews, the final version of the PYHAP with 14 questions in 3 domains (verbal [5], behavior [4], and social [5]) was developed and tested at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Korea from July 2018 to September 2019. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to confirm construct validity. The correlations between the PYHAP and the Korean Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire (K-CEBQ) were calculated to evaluate convergent and discriminant validity. Criterion validity and the validity of the response categories were also tested.RESULTS: Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the PYHAP was 0.91. The fit indices for CFA were good (comparative fit index, 0.87; standardized root mean squared residual, 0.08). The domains of the PYHAP were closely correlated with the relevant domains of the K-CEBQ. The accuracy of the PYHAP score for predicting uncontrolled hyperphagia was good (area under the curve, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.65 to 0.85).CONCLUSIONS: The PYHAP was confirmed to be a reliable and valid tool to evaluate hyperphagia in children and adolescents with PWS via caregivers’ assessments. It is recommended to use the PYHAP to communicate with parents or caregivers about patients’ hyperphagia or to monitor and manage extreme behaviors in children with PWS.
Neglecting the neglected during the COVID-19 pandemic: the case of leptospirosis in Sri Lanka
Authors: Warnasekara Janith , Agampodi Suneth
Published: January 2022

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted global health systems and affected the transmission dynamics as well as the surveillance of other infectious diseases. This study described the probable effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the surveillance and control of leptospirosis in Sri Lanka. With 8,579 reported cases and more than 800 estimated deaths, the Sri Lankan public health surveillance system documented the largest outbreak of leptospirosis in Sri Lankan history in 2020. This was the worst infectious disease outbreak Sri Lanka experienced in 2020, but it was neglected, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: January 2022

Background: Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is an epithelial cancer of the sinonasal sinuses that shows histological similarity to colorectal cancer (CRC) and share chronic inflammation as a possible etiological factor. The Wnt-pathway is one of the most important tumourigenic pathways in CRC. The aim of this study was to investigate if the Wnt-pathway is activated in ITAC. Methodology: Protein expression profiles of E-cadherin, β-catenin, c-myc and cyclin D1 were analysed by immunohistochemistry in 83 samples of ITAC, organized into tissue microarray blocks. Results: Nuclear β-catenin expression was observed in 31% of the cases and was twice as frequent in papillary/colonic ITAC compared to solid/mucinous subtypes. Loss of membranous β-catenin staining occurred in 24% and loss of membranous E-cadherin in 6% of the cases and this was more prominent in mucinous types. Strong c-myc and cyclin D1 expression was observed in 30% and 4% of the cases, respectively. Nuclear β-catenin expression was significantly related to poor clinical outcome, independent from established factors as tumour stage and histological type. Conclusion: The presence of nuclear β-catenin in 31% of patients with ITACs indicated that in a subset of patients, the Wnt-pathway is active and conveys a worse prognosis.

Published: January 2022

Background: This study investigated prospectively the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in paranasal inverted papilloma (IP). Methods: HPV presence and viral load and physical status of HPV-16 were examined by polymerase chain reaction-based methods using fresh frozen samples obtained from 13 patients with IP (IP group), 11 with squamous cell carcinoma in the maxillary sinus (SCC group) and 39 with chronic inflammatory lesions (inflammatory group). Results: The presence of the HPV genome was detected in 46.1%, 27.3% and 7.6% of patients in the IP, SCC and inflammatory groups, respectively. The IP group showed significantly higher HPV-positive rates than the inflammatory group. All types of HPV detected were high-risk HPV, especially HPV-16. The relative HPV-16 copy numbers varied from 2.5 to 1524.1 per 50 ng genomic DNA. The viral load was higher in the IP and SCC groups than in the inflammatory group. In the IP group, no significant relationship was found between HPV-16 viral load and clinical characteristics, or between physical status and clinical characteristics. One patient with IP and concomitant squamous cell carcinoma, however, showed high viral load and integration. Conclusions: HPV infection is involved in the pathogenesis of IP, and high viral load and integration of HPV have an important role in malignant lesion in association with IP.

Published: January 2022

Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a serious emerging pest of maize (Zea mays L.) and many other alternative crop hosts in sub-Saharan Africa. Adequate knowledge on the development of S. frugiperda on maize and other alternative host crops is important in the development of integrated pest management programmes. The objective of this study was to determine the larval developmental stages of FAW using head capsule and other body morphometrics of FAW on maize and other alternative host crops in Nigeria. Food hosts (maize, cassava and cowpea) were replicated five times and arranged in a Completely Randomised Design. The results showed that mean growth ratio of larval development on maize, cassava and cowpea were 1.51, 1.54 and 1.50, respectively; and all conformed to Dyar’s rule. Head capsule width of larval instars showed six frequency peaks, representing six larval instars. Mean width of head capsule from the first to sixth larval, in the three crops, were significantly different. The shortest (14 days) and longest (17 days) developmental periods were recorded on maize and cassava. Pupal weight and length were not significantly different among the crops. There was a linear and significant correlation (maize = 0.98, cassava = 0.98 and cowpea = 0.99) between the stages of larval development and head capsule width. The number of larval instars of FAW, duration of their developments and the weights of larva and pupa on maize, cassava and cowpea are useful information in determining the number of generations of FAW on each crop. This information could, therefore, be applied in decision making on the appropriate time and duration of application of control actions when these crops are infested.
Consumer preferences for the quality characteristics of sorghum grain in Eastern Uganda: A choice experiment approach
Authors: Kakuru K.M. , Bagamba F. , Okori P.
Published: January 2022

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important staple food crop for millions of food insecure people in the Semi-Arid Tropics. However, the crop has not been fully exploited due to undesirable consumer characteristics. The objective of this study was to identify quality characteristics that consumers of sorghum prefer so as to increase its consumption in Uganda. Quality in this study was evaluated based on four sensory characteristics of atapa (atapa is a local name for sorghum paste in Eastern Uganda): colour, aroma, taste and texture; and grain size. A choice experiment was conducted to analyse consumer preferences for quality characteristics of atapa. The discrete choices obtained from the choice experiment were analysed using Mixed Logit models fitted in preference- and willingness to pay-space. Results revealed that sweet taste, good aroma, elastic texture and big grain size had positive effects on the consumer preference. In terms of magnitude, sweet taste had the largest effect on consumer preference followed by aroma. Grain size was important because consumers believed that the bigger the size, the more the flour that would be obtained after milling. None of the colours was found to be important; instead respondents associate the existing colours of different varieties with their known texture, taste and aroma. There were also significant positive implicit prices for the preferred (non-colour) attributes, implying that consumers were willing to pay a price premium for sweet taste, good aroma, elastic texture and big grain size. The highest premium would be paid for sweet taste (US$ 0.69) followed by good aroma (US$ 0.39). We also evaluated five hypothetical varieties (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) based on the implicit prices of the individual attributes that constitute the varieties. We found out that varieties with a good taste, good aroma, elastic texture and big grain size had larger total willingness to pay values than those missing any of these attributes. We conclude that sweet taste and aroma and elastic texture are the most important quality attributes of atapa. Thus, we recommend to sorghum breeders to consider these quality attributes in their breeding programmes if consumption of sorghum-based foods is to increase.

Published: January 2022

Zoonotic species of the Chlamydiaceae family should be considered as rare pathogenic agents of severe atypical pneumonia. A fatal case of a severe pneumonia due to Chlamydia psittaci was traced back to pet birds, and pneumonia in a pregnant woman was attributed to abortions in a sheep and goat flock, being the source of Chlamydia abortus. The two SARS‑CoV‑2-negative pneumonia cases presented here were investigated in an inter-disciplinary approach involving physicians and veterinarians. State-of-art molecular methods allowed the identification and genotyping of zoonotic Chlamydiae.

Pierwsze archiwalia proweniencji prywatnej znalazły się w zasobie Archiwum Państwowego w Szczecinie już w 1855 r. Były to kolekcje naukowe posiadane przez Pomorskie Towarzystwo Historyczne i Archeologiczne. W 1888 r. do zasobu archiwum przekazano pierwsze archiwalia rodowe. Spuścizny i archiwa rodowe szczecińska placówka otrzymywała w formie darów lub depozytów. Do 1945 r. w zasobie Archiwum Państwowego w Szczecinie znajdowało się 50 archiwów rodzinnych oraz kilkanaście spuścizn i kolekcji. Wiele tych materiałów zostało zabezpieczonych w 1945 r. i stało się częścią zasobu polskiego Archiwum Państwowego w Szczecinie. Od lat 70-tych XX wieku zbiera ono też archiwalia proweniencji prywatnej. Są to głównie spuścizny, zbiory i kolekcje po działaczach społecznych, naukowcach, ale też urzędnikach państwowych i politykach. Obecnie w zasobie archiwum jest 58 archiwów, zbiorów, kolekcji i spuścizn proweniencji prywatnej (ok. 20 tys. j.a.).

Archives and private archival materials in the National Archive in Szczecin

The first archival materials of private origin were a part of the National Archive in Szczecin collection as early as 1855. These were scientific collections owned by the Pomerania History and Archeology Association. In 1888, the first family archival materials were donated. Legacies and archives were donated or deposited. Until 1945, the Archive had possessed 50 family archives and a dozen or so legacies and collections. Many of these materials were secured in 1945 and became a part of the Polish collection of the National Archive in Szczecin. Since the 1970s, the Archive has also collected archival materials of the private origin. These are mainly legacies and collections of social activists, scientists, public officials and politicians. At present, there are 58 archives, collections and legacies of private origin (about 20,000 archival units) in the Archive.

Sowietyzacja życia społecznego w Polsce na przykładzie Śląska Opolskiego w latach 1947–1951
Authors: Bereszyński Zbigniew
Published: January 2022

Sfałszowane przez komunistów wybory do Sejmu Ustawodawczego w styczniu 1947 r. zapoczątkowały okres stopniowej sowietyzacji życia społecznego w Polsce. Proces ten zmierzał do ustanowienia totalitarnego systemu politycznego na wzór sowiecki. Dobrą ilustrację mechanizmów tego procesu stanowi rozwój sytuacji w latach 1947–1950 na Śląsku Opolskim. Postępująca sowietyzacja życia społecznego okazała się bardzo poważną przeszkodą na drodze do społecznej integracji Śląska Opolskiego. Takie fakty i zjawiska, jak walka z Kościołem czy działania na rzecz kolektywizacji rolnictwa, skutkowały umocnieniem postaw proniemieckich wśród rdzennej ludności śląskiej. Władze komunistyczne reagowały represjami na szerzące się w różnych środowiskach przejawy oporu społecznego. Już po kilku latach, w obliczu takich faktów, jak powstanie robotnicze w Poznaniu w 1956 r., były jednak zmuszone pójść na ustępstwa wobec społeczeństwa i dopuścić do częściowej liberalizacji życia publicznego.

Sovietization of social life in Poland as exemplified by the Opole Silesia region in the years 1947–1951

Parliamentary elections of January 1947, rigged by communists, began the process of gradual Sovietization of social life in Poland. It aimed at establishing a totalitarian political system, mo- deled after the Soviet Union. The events which took place in the Opole Silesia region in the years 1947–1950 are a great illustration of this process. Progressive Sovietization of the social life became a major obstacle in the process of achieving social integration in the Opole Silesia. Actions such as a fight with the Catholic Church or creating collective farms resulted with stronger pro-German attitudes among native inhabitants. Communist authorities reacted to manifestations of social resistance among various groups with repressions. However, within a few years, faced 110 Zbigniew Bereszyński with events such as the people’s uprising in Poznań in 1956, they were forced to attenuate their policy toward the society and allow for partial liberalization of social life.

The current paper reports on a newly developed DBD-Mn/FCRB hybrid system to explore the removal of NOx by reduction without adding reducing gas at low temperature (below 80℃). This technology was established with a fixed carbon-based reduction catalytic reduction bed loaded with manganese (Mn/FCRB) induced by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The NO conversion and N2 selectivity in the new hybrid system reached 90.9 and 79.9%, respectively under 8% oxygen content, 1,200 J/L specific input energy (SIE), which were all higher than in the single DBD and DBD-FCRB systems, respectively. The Mn/FCRB was further characterized before and after activation by SEM, XRD and XPS. The possible reaction pathways of denitration were proposed through three processes based on the experimental results: direct denitration of active carbon atoms excited by plasma, reduction by adsorptive C(N) and C(O) complexes on the FCRB surface, and the reaction of nitrogen oxides with by-product CO. In addition, the results also showed that the new in-situ reduction denitration system had strong oxygen shock resistance and water resistance.

Lesões decorrentes da prática esportiva são frequentes no meio esportivo, sendo um obstáculo para atletas de diversas modalidades que buscam otimizar seus desempenhos competitivos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar o perfil do atleta de Jiu Jitsu brasileiro (JJB) tecnicamente declarado passador (PD) ou guardador (GD) e relacionar com a prevalência e incidências de lesões decorrentes da prática. Foram selecionados de forma intencional 26 atletas masculinos de JJB, onde foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e mediante um questionário foi feito um levantamento do histórico de lesões dos atletas. De acordo com os resultados, o joelho foi o segmento corporal mais acometido tanto em GD como em PD. Atletas GD apresentam maior número de lesões no joelho do que PD (∆%=3%, p=0,019), o que não ocorreu com lesões nos tornozelos. Tais resultados apontam para a necessidade de tomada de decisões que possam auxiliar no processo de treinamento físico a partir de um olhar multidisciplinar, no qual técnicos, atletas e equipe médica possam avaliar em conjunto os efeitos acumulativos do treinamento ao longo da vida competitiva de um atleta.

DECOLONIAL EDUCATION: the landscape and the black History in the narratives of downtown Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This article starts from the systematization of interdisciplinary pedagogical practices (Geography and History) carried out throughout 2019 at the Federal Center for Technological Education Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET), Maria da Graça Unit, to dialogue and debate on racial issues and the decolonial teaching. With this in mind, three field trips were made: first to the National Museum of Fine Arts, then to the UNESCO World Heritage site known as Little Africa and finally to the Praça XV de Novembro region. The activity brought new perspectives on the landscape of the city of Rio de Janeiro and led students to reflect on changes and permanencies in the use of urban space. These mediations were embodied through a series of publications made by students on social networks.

Life insurance is the field of insurance which covers all those types of insurance where the occurrence of the insured accident is connected to a certain event in the life of the insured person. There are two basic types of life insurance: life insurance in case of death of the insured person and annuity insurance in case the insured person lives longer, t.i beyond the insured life term. Life insurance is the insurance where the insurer for a certain insurance premium assumes the obligation to pay to the insured person or the other beneficiary designated by the insured person a certain sum of money in case of his death or annuity installments in case he lives longer then the agreed life term. Although originally, life insurance was forbidden and was considered to be an unethical legal activity, today life insurance is accepted in legislations and in practice worldwide and it has been proven as a very beneficial and justified institute. This type of service is offered by insurance companies with an investment aspect which allows life insurance to keep its traditional function (protection from various risks – death, disability, life longer than the agreed insurance term), but also to have a wider, macroeconomic function in the form of savings and investment. This service has not been widely accepted in the Republic of Serbia although it is regulated by both the Law on insurance and the Law of contract and torts. In the 1990s it almost ceased to exist, while nowadays it started to revive, but with far less cases than in EU countries and other countries of developed world.
FINANSIRANjA SPORTA IZ BUDžETA JEDINICA LOKALNE SAMOUPRAVE U REPUBLICI SRBIJI

Published: January 2022

The Law on Sports of the Republic of Serbia from 2016 established a unique system of financing sports from the budget of the Republic of Serbia, the autonomous province and local self-government units, in terms that certain common rules have been established that apply equally to all levels of public authority respecting certain features of sports financing from the level of local self-government units. Programs and projects that may be financed from the budget of a local self-government unit must meet the needs and interests of citizens recognized by law in the area of sports respecting priorities set by the Law. In his paper, the author analyzes five years of application of the Law on Sports (2016 – 2020) regarding the process of approving and financing programs in the field of sports in the municipalities and cities of the Republic of Serbia, showing the numerous problems that have appeared in this field. They refer both to the process of approving program proposals and concluding contracts on the implementation of approved programs, as well as to the process of controlling the implementation of programs and achieving the planned effects.

By its decision in case Goodwin v. United Kingdom (2002), The European Court of Human Rights has recognized the positive obligation of states to provide conditions for the legal recognition of preferred gender in the context of the right to respect for private life. In this regard, the Court emphasized gender identity as an important element of personal identity and an integral part of the transgender person's right to private life. On the other hand, states have kept their margin of appreciation regarding requirements needed for changing gender data in civil registries or in other words legal recognition of preferred gender. After Goodwin case, that has laid foundations for the rights of transgender people to gender identity, further development of this right was set by the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in case A.P., Garçon and Nicot v. France (2017). By this decision, the Court has further narrow the margin of appreciation removing imposing of sterilisation as a requirement for legal gender recognition. Finally, The European Court of Human Rights has taken the position in the latest judgment X and Y. v. Romania (2021) that conditioning legal recognition of preferred gender with surgical interventions of gender reassignment represents breach of the right to respect private life. Thus, the Court further approached Council of Europe Resolution 1728 (2010) according to which states are suggested to remove from the requirements for legal gender recognition the subjection to any medical service of gender reassignment, including hormone therapy. Domestic legislation has retained only hormone therapy as a necessary condition for legal gender reassignment. Although this solution is in accordance with the latest case law of the European Court of Human Rights, another step is needed to make the exercise of the right to gender identity adjusted to the "soft law" of the Council of Europe and the bodies under the auspices of the United Nations.

The paper analyzes the role and services provided by the Protector of Citizens, specifically related to the legal order of the Republic of Serbia. A historical retrospective, and then through a comparative legal analysis of the origin and conception of this type of institutional protection of human rights in general, and through practical experiences, an insight into the importance of the existence of this state body is given. The legal system of the Republic of Serbia knows this type of services in the field of human rights protection relatively briefly. For that reason, legal history does not offer answers to the practical repercussions of the existence of this institution in our country. As a result, the paper points out two dimensions of action. The first is the practice of the Protector of Citizens during the protests that took place during the restrictions on human rights due to the COVID19 pandemic, and the second is the political dimension of the role in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia.

Authors:   Assistant Professor Department of Public Administration Jahanginagar University Savar Dhaka, Bangladesh-1342, Arefin Nusrat Jahan
Published: January 2022

Education is one of the essential components in developing a scholarly society capable of facing the demands and challenges of the twenty-first century. Education policy refers to the principles of government policymaking in the educational sector and the set of laws and norms that govern the operation of the educational system. It focuses on the effects of educational policy decisions and alternatives in the real world. It investigates the link between educational policy and practice. Even though our educational system has shortcomings, we are improving daily. Bangladesh is fully committed to the EFA goals, the Millennium Development Goals, and universal declarations. Every child between the ages of six and eighteen is entitled to free education under Article seventeen of the Bangladesh Constitution. As a result, the "National Education Policy 2010" was created using the incremental model of one of the most used public policy frameworks. The government makes incremental public policy decisions based on earlier actions. All of the model's functions are divided into distinct groups. Our educational system underwent significant changes over a long period. The incremental model's important aspects are time progression and social demand.

An analytical review on rethinking service-learning as critical transformative paradigm in higher education
Authors: Saeed Muhammad , Ahmed Iqbal
Published: January 2022

In recent times, service-learning has emerged as a popular community-based instructional pedagogy. However, scholars have a sharp contention about the role of service-learning as a community engagement paradigm in higher education. Furthermore, limited studies exist on service-learning as a transformative instructional pedagogy in higher education. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting an analytical review on the potential of service-learning as a transformative pedagogy in higher education. A traditional narrative review method was used to survey on the theme of the study to establish a theoretical framework and draw conclusions. An extensive survey of existing literature was conducted on the role of service-learning as transformative pedagogy in higher education. This research may help answer the following two critical questions: What are internal and external limits to service-learning in higher education? To what extent can service-learning replace the traditional mode of teaching and learning in higher education successfully? The review shows that service-learning is a critical transformative pedagogy that helps achieve the boarder goals of higher education in a more effective way. The review further informs that service-learning is a community engagement approach that can also be used as a teaching method for achieving specific civic and democratic goals of higher education.
