Az idő szerepe Az ember tragédiájában
Authors: S. Varga Pál
Published: September 2024

Aligha kell bizonyítani, hogy az időnek kulcsszerepe van Az ember tragédiájában; elég, ha Ádám harmadik színben tett kijelentésére gondolunk: „Arasznyi lét, mi sietésre int”.1 Az alábbi elemzés abból indul ki, hogy a Tragédia – amint azt Bécsy Tamás egykoron kimutatta – kétszintes dráma, s azt kívánja bemutatni, hogy a két szint idődimenziója más és más, s az idő szerepének ugyanúgy e két dimenzió találkozása a lényege, mint ahogy a cselekménynek a két szint (Bécsy Tamás kifejezésével) „egymásbanlevése”, kölcsönhatása (Bécsy, 1973).

This investigation analyzes the usage of bacterial content and different lengths of banana fiber reinforced with variable percentages in cement mortar. Portland pozzolana cement (PPC) was combined with bacterial solutions (Bacillus cereus) at a concentration of 1.15×104 cells/ml to produce a mortar composite. By adding natural fibers like banana fiber to the composite components, the mechanical behavior of the bacterial mortar was enhanced. Mortar mixtures using banana fibers with different fiber concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1%) and lengths (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 cm) were evaluated. Compressive and flexural strength was found to be greatly affected by the addition of banana fibers to concrete, but only at lower fiber levels of up to 0.25% for all fiber lengths. At lower fiber levels of up to 0.25%, the length of the fiber had no discernible effect on compressive strength; however, at larger dosages exceeding 0.25%, shorter fibers were shown to outperform longer ones. However, the mixing of bacterial content in the mortar is not only significant to the mechanical properties but also potentially lowers the carbon emissions, making it a more sustainable option for composite preparation. The stability of bacterial-based mortar and its compatibility with natural fibers further underscores the potential for eco-friendly construction materials. By exploring the chemical and physical properties of banana fibers treated with alkali chemicals and their compatibility with bacterial cultures, this study adds depth to our understanding of these composite materials. Overall, the proposed methodology for preparing these composites holds promise for future applications in the construction industry, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional materials.

This study presents a novel biosensor for detecting CCRF-CEM cells, derived from a T lymphoblastoid cell line, featuring intricate surface modification techniques. The fabrication process involves thin film deposition, electropolishing and dual anodization to create an anodic aluminum oxide template, followed by DC sputtering deposition to produce gold (Au) thin film/silver (Ag) nanodots and an Ag thin film/Au nanodots electrodes. Characterization using scanning electron microscopes (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms electrode suitability for biosensing applications. Surface modification with aptamer Sgc8c and bovine serum albumin enables specific binding of CCRF-CEM cells while minimizing non-specific interactions. Electrochemical characterization via cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals the biosensor's sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility. The Au thin film/Ag nanodots electrode emerges as the most promising choice, exhibiting exceptional sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) = 16 cell/10 mL), reproducibility, and selectivity for CCRF-CEM cells. This work highlights the importance of tailored surface development in biosensor design and lays the groundwork for highly sensitive and selective biosensors with potential applications in disease diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring.

Published: September 2024

The limited facilities in the laboratory are an obstacle for students in carrying out practicums. The material on momentum and impulse is considered complicated by students, this is due to the limited use of printed books as the only teaching material in the physics learning process. Therefore, it is necessary to use additional teaching materials in the form of E-Student Worksheet to help students understand the concepts of momentum and impulse. This research has two main objectives, namely to design an E-Student Worksheet design assisted by PhET Simulation and to determine the feasibility of the e-worksheet. Making E-Student Worksheet with the help of PhET Simulation is used as an interactive learning animation simulation to deepen understanding and increase students' interest in physics. The E-Student Worksheet development process assisted by PhET Simulation follows the model developed by Alessi and Trollip, which consists of three stages: (1) Planning, (2) Design, and (3) Development. The result of this research is E-Student Worksheet assisted by PhET Simulation which focuses on momentum and impulse material. Determining the suitability of the product is carried out through validation by media experts and material experts, with the percentage of media expert validation reaching 94.37%, and material expert validation reaching 93.14%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that E-Student Worksheet is very suitable for teaching material in the learning process.

Published: September 2024

Mesosphaerum suaveolens (L.) Kuntze and Ocimum basilicum L. are sources of biologically important components like phenolics, flavonoids and terpenoids. These commonly growing wild plants with enormous medicinal value, have been mostly overlooked and used only as hedges for other economical crops. In vitro propagation of these plants would help to study the effect of different media components on important metabolites, including essential oils, pigments, antioxidants, food and flavouring agents which are of economic value. This study was focused on understanding the best suitable protocol and medium for the establishment of in vitro cultures of Mesosphaerum suaveolens and Ocimum basilicum. The work also focused on germination studies in both plants as a pre-requisite for culturing. The next focus was to understand how the culture conditions affected the amount of phenolics, flavonoids and terpenoids. Seedlings of M. suaveolens and fresh leaves of O. basilicum were inoculated and shoot cultures and callus cultures were obtained from them respectively, with different concentrations and combinations of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP). The treatments used in the study for both plants were 0.5 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, 1.5 mg/mL, 2.0 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 3.0 mg/mL, 3.5 mg/mL and 4.0 mg/mL each of NAA and BAP in combination. Among all the above combinations of the growth hormones on MS medium, 2.0 mg/mL combined concentration of NAA and BAP showed the highest biomass accumulation with the Total Phenolics Content (TPC) value of 17.58 ± 0.32 mg GAE/ g DW, Total Flavonoids Content (TFC) of 11516 ± 176.1 mg Quercetin/g DW and Total Terpenoids Content (TTC) of 80.25 ± 1.183 mg Linalool/g DW in M. suaveolens and 2.5 mg/mL combined concentration of NAA and BAP showed the highest biomass accumulation with the TPC value of 15.79 ± 0.13 mg GAE/g DW, TFC- 9513 ± 68.41 mg Quercetin/g DW and TTC of 75 ± 1.093 mg Linalool/g DW in O. basilicum. The levels of phenolics and terpenoids were higher in M. suaveolens whereas the levels of flavonoids were higher in O. basilicum. This study would help in further understanding other aspects of plant defense in these plants grown in vitro.

Emerging strategies for a sustainable approach to professional development
Authors: Singh Kuki , Schrape Judy , Kelly Jacqui
Published: September 2024

Recent elearning trends in higher education are unleashing non-traditional professional development strategies. Employing a pragmatic approach to research, an evolving evidence-based practice within an Australian university is examined to establish a set of guidelines for sustainable professional development practices. A combination of traditional and non-traditional professional development strategies are described and staff participation and strategic impacts are analysed. Whilst current initiatives demonstrate good practice in terms of approach, strategies, contexts, content, and quality indicators, incumbent challenges include a demonstrated preference among staff for traditional workshops, voluntary participation which contributes to uneven elearning development, and the absence of formal follow up on transferability of skills and impacts. The study concluded that a purpose driven, multi-dimensional professional development approach that is embedded across all layers of the organisation advances sustainability. Six design principles are proposed for the achievement of sustainability within a centralised professional development service at an Australian university.
Sustainability of a university designed and developed media annotation tool to prepare learners with skills needed for future employment
Authors: Ruyters Michele , Colasante Meg , Douglas Kathy , Mandarano Giovanni
Published: September 2024

RMIT University‘s media annotation tool (MAT) is a computer software program dedicated to incorporating video footage to the student learning experience in a novel manner. In addition to the usual functions associated with videos, MAT allows users to enter written comments at strategic and key positions to emphasise the required learning points. Innovatively introduced to creatively support learning for work-ready skills, in 2011 MAT was integrated into courses across nine student cohorts, over six disciplines, in the Vocational and Higher Education (undergraduate and post graduate) sectors of the university. This paper will focus on analysis of insights of teacher experiences using MAT, highlighting sustainable ways forward with university designed innovations. It will introduce the context of implementing MAT and discuss the process of evaluating the requirements for promoting MAT to the wider university community and, more specifically, to embed and sustain MAT into the long-term.
After Deportation: Chechen and Ingush Sufi Groups and their Zikr Rituals in Soviet Kazakhstan
Authors: Albogachieva Makka S.-G. , Kemper Michael
Published: September 2024

The present paper investigates the history of the Kunta-Hajji (Qadiriyya) Sufi groups (virds) of Chechen and Ingush deportees during their enforced exile in Soviet Kazakhstan (1944–1957/1963). On the basis of anthropological fieldwork among survivors, returnees, and their offspring, the authors argue that the Ingush and Chechen deportees perceived the virds as an important moral support network and a pillar of their identity in a foreign and inimical environment. In the absence of dominant shaykhs and formal chains of transmissions, flat hierarchies allowed for an easy admission into the virds, and for flexibility in the adaptation of the “loud” zikr circle dances to the terrible conditions of forced exile. The article reviews the various groups and their particular practices. Of particular interest is the emergence of a new vird among Chechen believers in northern Kazakhstan, and the integration of female participants into the zikr ritual of that group.
Increasing Materiality and Emerging Concepts of Ethnic Religious Identity: The Case of ‘Kirat Religion’ in Nepal
Authors: Wettstein Marion , von Stockhausen Alban , Gaenszle Martin
Published: September 2024

Traditionally lacking temples, mass processions, pilgrimage traditions, full time ritual specialists, or painting traditions, religious practice among the Rai of eastern Nepal was until recently characterized by low visibility. After the ‘People’s War’ at the turn of the millennium, new political ideas understand religion as one of the core features of ethnic identity. Since this reconceptualization of the ‘New Nepal’, an increase of materiality, and hence visibility, in what is today called Kirat religion can be observed. In this article, three case studies are presented as a basis to discuss the link between materiality, religion, and ethnic activism: a newly installed pilgrimage site in eastern Nepal, a recently built temple in the capital Kathmandu, and an upcoming type of festival clothing. Pointing out that in this case materiality is employed to achieve a political end, we come to the conclusion that the effects the material objects have on people are specific to a certain moment in time and depend on pre-existing concepts and practices of religion in a given society.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric of populist radical right leaders on social media platforms
Authors: Klein Ofra
Published: September 2024

Social media platforms have become crucial channels for radical right populist leaders to broadcast anti-immigrant views. These politicians employ various rhetorical appeals, such as pathos (emotional language), logos (logical arguments), and ethos (speaker credibility), to sway public opinion. This study considers the anti-immigrant rhetoric of prominent European populist radical right leaders across X, Instagram, and Facebook, analysing the prevalence of these rhetorical strategies across different platforms. From the perspective of mediatization theory, politicians can adjust their messages to fit with the design and formats of various social media platforms. Party leaders often resort to emotional appeals on X, with its limited space for communication, as well as on Facebook, where emotional interaction buttons and discussion features can encourage emotional rhetoric as well. Logical appeals (logos) are common on platforms such as Facebook and X, which offer options to easily share information in the form of texts and links. Additionally, ethos, associated with speaker’s credibility, is common in posts on platforms that facilitate closer engagement with the party leaders’ constituents, such as Facebook and Instagram. These findings underscore the importance of considering platform design when shaping political communication strategies.
Rectal thionamide administration in the setting of thyroid storm: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Barnett Maxim John Levy , Casipit Carlo , Sathi Sri Ram Teja , Rodriguez Ana Del Carmen Rivadeneira
Published: September 2024

Thyroid storm is a clinical diagnosis characterized by life-threatening multisystemic organ involvement in the setting of uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. Current estimates suggest a mortality rate of up to 30%. Treatment often consists of the administration of thionamide medications, iodine solution(s), corticosteroids, and beta-blockers; in extreme circumstances, both plasmapheresis and thyroidectomy are subsequent therapeutic options. Thionamides are typically administered orally, with the intent of preventing further thyroid hormone synthesis; however, in the literature, there are instances whereby oral access cannot be obtained, and alternative routes of administration are required. We present a case of a patient who presented with a thyroid storm due to lack of adherence to methimazole. During admission, he was found to have significant abdominal pain and ultimately a duodenal perforation requiring strict nil-per-os (NPO) status, due to which he was unable to receive oral thionamides. Due to the lack of availability of intravenous formulations of thionamides in the United States, this patient was treated with an enema compound of propylthiouracil for a total of five per rectum (PR) doses. He would later develop hepatocellular injury, requiring discontinuation and eventual transition to oral methimazole. The literature pertaining to alternative-route thionamide administration is scant, and therefore this case report and literature review is written to provide an up-to-date review and further educate all levels of clinicians about this infrequent (but emergent) situation.

Learning points

Thyroid storm is a clinical diagnosis for which urgent recognition is required to prevent untoward mortality.

Treatment for thyroid storm requires prompt administration of thionamides, iodine, corticosteroids, and beta-blockers. In extreme circumstances, treatment considerations include plasmapheresis and thyroidectomy.

Infrequently, patients with a thyroid storm may not be able to tolerate oral medications, for which alternative routes of access are required.

Currently, available alternatives include intravenous methimazole (in Europe and Japan), as well as both enema and suppository preparations of propylthiouracil and methimazole.
Influence of FDI on structural changes in the economy in the context of prospects for post-war recovery of Ukraine
Authors:   State Institution “Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine”, Shovkun Inna
Published: September 2024

The recovery of the national economy, which is undergoing great destruction as a result of full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine, will require attracting not only domestic but also foreign investments. The post-war experience of various countries shows that the inflow of foreign capital contributed to meeting the needs for investment resources for the reconstruction of the economy and its structural modernization. The recent history of the rapid rise of newly industrialized countries also demonstrates that foreign investments enable the transformation of the structure of the host economy, and its progress towards higher levels of industrial development. The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of the accumulation and sectoral distribution of FDI in the Ukrainian economy, to assess the effects of FDI to change the structure and dynamics of economic growth, and to identify approaches to attracting foreign investment in the context of prospects for post-war recovery and economic restructuring. The article examines the accumulation of FDI in the Ukrainian economy in historical retrospect, analyzes the distribution of their reserves among the sectors and subsectors, as well as their geographical origin. The author assesses the depth of penetration of the FDI into the economy in general and into the technological sectors within the processing industry, in particular, and reveals various contradictory effects created by foreign investments for the development of the national economy, technological progress, and economic security. Using regression modeling, the article investigates the FDI as a factor capable of contributing to the transformation of Ukraine’s economy, and changing the structural distribution of added value and employment between sectors. The simulation results confirm that the accumulation of FDI really affects the dynamics of GVA production and employment in economic sectors, that is, it causes structural shifts in the economy. At the same time, sectoral assessments reveal the mixed effectiveness of this factor in terms of the strength and direction of changes in the structure of the economy.
ТІНЬОВІ ЛІКВІДНІ КАПІТАЛИ БІЗНЕСУ: ФОРМУВАННЯ І ВИКОРИСТАННЯ
Authors: ЗИМОВЕЦЬ Владислав
Published: September 2024

Розміри збитків українського бізнесу з початку повномасштабного вторгнення перевищують можливості держави щодо їх відшкодування. Одним з імовірних джерел фінансування відновлення бізнесу можуть бути тіньові резерви, які тривалий час акумулювалися за межами фінансової системи. Розроблено методичний інструментарій для оцінювання обсягу тіньового ліквідного капіталу як потенційного джерела підтримки життєздатності бізнесу.
Сучасні підходи до оцінювання обсягів тіньової економіки, засновані на показниках потоку, не дозволяють визначити обсяги тіньового ліквідного капіталу. Для заповнення цієї прогалини запропоновано концептуальний підхід, побудований на основі комбінування даних банківської статистики і оцінюваних обсягів нелегального відпливу капіталу. Його застосування дало змогу оцінити обсяги тіньового ліквідного капіталу, яких достатньо для покриття 2/3 прямих збитків бізнесу від війни (за оцінками на початок 2024 р.) і 100 %  дефіциту робочого капіталу.
Показано, що від початку повномасштабного вторгнення обсяг відпливу капіталу з України становив 40 млрд дол., і бізнес утримувався від його реінвестування. Заморожування ліквідних капіталів поза фінансовою системою країни створює загрозу для фінансової безпеки держави, генерує додаткові систематичні ризики, послаблюючи стійкість публічних фінансів і обмежуючи пропозицію капіталу на внутрішньому ринку. Під час війни протидія нелегальному відпливу капіталів є критично важливим завданням для фінансової безпеки країни. Функціональна спроможність політики протидії нелегальному відпливу капіталу і приховуванню доходів є невисокою, наявним інструментарієм охоплено менш як 2 % загального обсягу тіньових доходів. Запропоновано передбачити обов’язковість декларування доходів і майна кінцевих бенефіціарів пов’язаних з бізнесом осіб (власників тіньового ліквідного капіталу), що ускладнить реінвестування прихованих доходів і посилить контроль за кругооборотом тіньового ліквідного капіталу.
РОЛЬ ДЕРЖАВНОГО ФІНАНСОВОГО КОНТРОЛЮ (АУДИТУ) В УПРАВЛІННІ ЕКОНОМІКОЮ
Authors: РАДІОНОВ Юрій
Published: September 2024

В умовах війни постала необхідність у трансформації відомств, установ, реформуванні всієї системи державного управління, щоб кожен державний орган, міністерство, агентство забезпечували високу ефективність роботи, якісно виконували свої функції відповідно до екзистенціальних викликів і суспільних потреб. Питання корупції, неефективного використання фінансових ресурсів, відсутність належних механізмів підзвітності, прозорості в системі державного управління викликають занепокоєння не лише в українського суспільства, а й у міжнародних партнерів, які від початку війни надають нам військову, гуманітарну, фінансову допомогу, у тому числі пряму бюджетну підтримку уряду України.
Акцентовано увагу на двох провідних інституціях державного фінансового контролю – Державній аудиторській службі України, яка здійснює внутрішній контроль і відноситься до виконавчої гілки влади, тобто в організаційному плані підпорядковується Кабінету Міністрів України, і Рахунковій палаті, яка проводить заходи зовнішнього контролю (аудиту) і діє від імені законодавчої гілки влади (Верховної Ради України). Розкрито посталі перед ними екзистенціальні виклики і зусилля, яких вони докладають для забезпечення трансформації інституцій відповідно до сучасних потреб. Ефективність контролю (аудиту) визначається дієвістю і успішністю функціонування суб’єктів контролю, що входять до єдиної, цілісної системи, яка функціонує в країні, її спроможністю впливати на учасників бюджетного процесу, вчасно виявляти бюджетні порушення, приховані ознаки шахрайства, корупції, виправляти прогалини в законодавстві, запобігати неефективному розподілу й використанню бюджетних коштів.
Опрацьовано сценарії розвитку економіки після деокупації українських територій. Проаналізовано зарубіжний досвід і тенденції розвитку державного фінансового контролю (аудиту) з урахуванням екзистенціальних викликів. Обґрунтовано необхідність зміни існуючої парадигми контролю (аудиту

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Patient and family advisory councils are common within children’s hospitals. However, lack of diversity among patient and family advisors (PFAs) may result in exclusion of crucial perspectives and perpetuate inequities. We sought to understand PFA perspectives on how children’s hospitals should approach: (1) recruitment and support of PFAs from groups at greater risk of health inequities; and (2) development of meaningful partnerships with PFAs or patient and family advisory councils on institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

METHODS

We conducted a qualitative study of PFAs of children’s hospitals from communities at greater risk for health inequities based on self-identified race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, disability, language, or other factors. Focus groups were virtual and group discussions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using inductive qualitative analysis.

RESULTS

In total, 17 PFAs participated across 5 focus groups (4 in English, 1 in Spanish). We identified 6 themes: (1) PFA diversity is necessary to understand existing health inequities; (2) diversity needs to be considered broadly; (3) recruiting for diverse PFAs requires intentionality, visibility of PFACs within and outside of the hospital, and deliberate connections with families and communities; (4) efforts to increase PFAC diversity must be accompanied by work to develop inclusive environments; (5) diversity efforts require meaningful engagement and equity; and (6) diverse PFACs can enrich DEI efforts but require organizational commitment and follow-through.

CONCLUSIONS

Insights from our qualitative study of PFAs can be used by healthcare systems to foster diversity and inclusion in PFACs and advance hospital DEI efforts.

Published: September 2024

The number of job vacancies in Indonesia is still far less than the number of job seekers every year. This shows the inability of both the government and companies to create job opportunities for generation Z in Indonesia and at the same time emphasizes that educational institutions are not able to create an easy generation that is careful about entrepreneurship, even though the level of young entrepreneurs is one of the benchmarks of a developed country. The aim of this research is to find a formula for increasing the entrepreneurial spirit of Generation Z through effective entrepreneurship learning. The type of research used is field research with a quantitative approach. The object of this research is students and graduates of the Unismuh Makassar Sharia Economic Law Study Program. The results of this study indicate that of the two variables studied, namely human resources in this case are lecturers (X1) and entrepreneurship learning (X2) it is known that the variable X1 does not influence the growth of student entrepreneurial spirit while entrepreneurship learning has a positive and significant effect on growth. student entrepreneurial spirit. So, it can be concluded that to build and foster the entrepreneurial spirit of students there needs to be improvement and great attention to the entrepreneurship learning process which is capable of being a means of creating Generation Z who are fond of entrepreneurship.

En las décadas de los 70 y 90, disciplinas como la economía conductual y la neuroeconomía comenzaron a cuestionar el concepto del Homo Economicus. Estas disciplinas sostienen que en la toma de decisiones económicas intervienen factores cognitivos y emocionales más allá de la Teoría de la elección racional (TER), que tradicionalmente solo considera costes y beneficios. El objetivo del artículo fue examinar, bajo la óptica de la economía conductual y la neuroeconomía, cómo las emociones inciden en la toma de decisiones económicas. La revisión sistémica se llevó a cabo mediante el método PRISMA y el programa RAYYAN, analizando 87 artículos publicados entre 2016 y 2023, de los cuales se seleccionaron 11 para la revisión final. Entre las conclusiones más destacadas se encuentra que el miedo es la emoción más influyente, especialmente en situaciones de incertidumbre. También se observó el impacto significativo de las emociones incidentales, las cuales, aunque no guardan una relación directa con la actividad económica, afectan el proceso de toma de decisiones al dificultar los análisis racionales. Además, se identificaron áreas clave en el cerebro para la toma de decisiones económicas como son el córtex prefrontal y el sistema límbico. Por último, surgió una categoría emergente: el impacto de trastornos psiquiátricos o neurológicos en dicho proceso. Estos hallazgos permiten ampliar los conocimientos teóricos y metodológicos sobre cómo las emociones, los sesgos y el sustrato biológico influyen en la toma de decisiones económicas, contribuyendo de igual forma al avance de la microeconomía.

Key Points

The rate of prescription of opioid medication decreased between 2011 and 2020 for patients with ESRD.

The risk of death for dialysis and kidney transplant patients increased as morphine milligram equivalents in prescriptions increased.

Background

Pain is important for patients with kidney failure, but opioid medication prescriptions are associated with morbidity and mortality. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued opioid prescription guidelines in 2016 and 2022, associated with dramatically decreased prescription rates in the United States. It is critical to know whether nationwide opioid prescription rates for patients with kidney failure have decreased.

Methods

We analyzed the United States Renal Data System database from 2011 to 2020 to describe trends in the proportion of patients with ESKD who received one or more, or long-term, opioid prescriptions, examined factors associated with long-term opioid prescriptions, and evaluated associations of all-cause death with short-term or long-term opioid prescriptions.

Results

From 2011 to 2022, the percentage of patients with kidney failure (dialysis and kidney transplant) who received at least one or more, or who had received long-term, opioid medication prescriptions decreased steadily, from 60% to 42%, and from 23% to 13%, respectively (both P for trend < 0.001). The largest reductions in prescription rates were for hydrocodone and oxycodone. Similar trends existed for dialysis and kidney transplant patients. Women, the poor, and those in rural settings were more likely to receive long-term opioid prescriptions. Prescription rates were highest in White patients and those aged 45–64 years. Short-term and long-term opioid medication prescriptions were associated with higher mortality in both dialysis and kidney transplant patients.

Conclusions

The opioid prescription rates of patients with ESKD decreased between 2011 and 2020. Higher mortality risk was associated with both short-term and long-term opioid prescriptions. Mortality risk was monotonically associated with morphine milligram equivalents in patients with kidney failure who received long-term opioid prescriptions.

Congenital vertebral talus (CVT) is a rare anatomical and orthopedic condition. However, managing the problem is a challenge, especially when neglected. In the current narrative review, we aim to highlight the pathologic anatomy and clinical correlation of this bony deformity with an emphasis on how to avoid neglecting its early diagnosis. CVT appears clinically as a rigid, by a rounded convex sole or called rocker-bottom foot deformity with a prominent heel. The main pathological cause of the deformity is due to the vertical position of the talus with rigid dorsal dislocation of the navicular bone as well as lateral and dorsal dislocation of the talonavicular joint. Its exact causes are still unknown; however, there is accumulating evidence of a genetic predisposition of CVT. In about half of cases, CVT is associated with other neuromuscular or genetic disorders. The CVT diagnosis depends on clinical and radiological findings. Radiological diagnosis may be missed in newborns because many tarsal bones remain unossified. Neglect of CVT can lead to significant disability and deformity with foot pain, abnormal gait, functional limitations, and problems wearing shoes, as well as difficulties in surgical treatment with more extensive tissue release. The type of surgery used to repair CVT deformity depends mainly on the age of the patient and the severity of the deformity, which gets worse with age. Screening for foot defects in newborns, especially those with rigid foot deformity or other congenital anomalies, is highly recommended to rule out the possibility of CVT and thus avoid its neglect and resulting difficulties.

Background: The most intricate outcome of biological evolution is the human nervous system. One of the earliest sulci to form on the cerebrum is the lateral sulcus, also known as Sylvian fissure (SF), of the cerebrum. The study was done to observe the morphometry, asymmetry, and variability of the Sylvian fissure (SF) and the sulci surrounding and inside the pars-opercularis (PO) and pars-traingularis (PT). Method: the present is cadaveric study and was undertaken in the Department of Anatomy at Government Medical College Srinagar. All the parameters of the lateral sulcus (sylvian fissure), which include measurements of its posterior ramus (PR), anterior ascending ramus (AAR), and anterior horizontal ramus (AHR) were taken with the help of thread. The thread was held in position on both sides with the forceps and the length of thread was measured with vernier caliper. Results: The present study was carried out on 20 formalin fixed adult human cadaveric brains. The sylvian fissure mean length on right was found to be 84.8mm and on left side 85.8mm. the mean length of AAR was found to be 25.96mm on the right side and 28.6mm on the left side, and the mean length of AHR was 29.16mm on the right side and 33.44mm on the left side. Conclusion: Both left and right Sylvian fissures had a significant association, and the left was found to be noticeably longer than the right. The frontal and parietal lobes are separated from the temporal lobe below by the SF, a major surgical gateway. KEY WORDS: Human brain, Sylvian fissure, Lateral sulcus, pars-traingularis, Vernier caliper.

Background: Pedicle screw fixation is a method of choice to treat spinal instabilities. Pre- operative CT scan measurements are important in determining the screw sizes in accordance to the pedicle measurements. A mis-sized screw can violate the pedicle leading to breaches. Context and purpose of study: Present literature shows pedicle measurement studies in caucasian population. The study in Indian population are sparce. This study aims to assess the morphology of thoracolumbar pedicle parameters bilaterally using CT scans of patients and to compare the measurements between genders in a south Indian population. Results: Gender-based variations were observed in the pedicle width for upper thoracic vertebrae (T1-T5). Screw path length was consistent in thoracic and lumbar vertebrae except T11, L1, and L2 which showed significant differences in mean between genders and screw path angle showed a significant variation in vertebrae T1, T8-T12 and L5. Bilateral symmetry was present in screw path length of thoracic vertebrae and asymmetry was noted in L2-L3 among males. Correlation was observed to be strong bilaterally with high reliability in pedicle measurements. Conclusions: This study helps to understand gender-based variations in morphology of thoracolumbar pedicle which is important for enhancing pedicle screw fixation outcomes in spinal surgeries and reducing complications. KEYWORDS: pedicle, morphology, computed tomography, thoracolumbar, transpedicular screw fixation.

Esta investigación generó un nuevo conocimiento sobre políticas lingüísticas y currículos para el bilin-güismo español-inglés. Objetivo: transformar en los maestros sus significados y sentidos de Lo Sugerido del currículo y políticas para el bilingüismo español inglés en Colombia. Metodología: el diseño método-lógico se basó en la investigación en acción desde la perspectiva de espiral de Lewin. Para recolectar los datos se utilizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas, círculos de reflexión y un grupo focal, conformado por seis maestros de inglés, quienes fueron la población objeto de estudio. Desde el diseño metodológico, primero, se exploraron los significados del Currículo Sugerido y políticas de bilingüismo que tenían los maestros; luego, se planificaron las acciones conjuntas; después, compartieron prácticas y expe-riencias; y, por último, construyeron nuevos significados y sentidos de Lo Sugerido. Resultados: los participantes apropiaron el sentido de Lo Sugerido, comprendiéndolo como un espacio donde ellos agencian, crean y co-construyen el currículo y las políticas de bilingüismo español-inglés. Asimismo, desarrollaron nuevas prácticas pedagógicas, como los cuadernos interactivos y los clubes de conver-sación. Conclusiones: esta investigación logró trascender del análisis crítico y discursivo sobre políticas lingüísticas y currículos para el bilingüismo, para alcanzar su apropiación y agencia desde la acción conjunta de los maestros.
