A PROSPECTIVE COHORT RESEARCH COMPARED FRACTIONAL EXHALED NITRIC OXIDE, SPIROMETRY, AND THE ASTHMA CONTROL TEST IN PREDICTING ASTHMA EXACERBATIONS
Authors: Jena Kartick , Ramesh Andhare
Published: November 2022

Background’: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a quick, accurate, noninvasive tool to detect the measurement of airway inflammation. FeNO is therefore vastly used in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.
Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the accuracy of spirometry, the asthma control test (ACT), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide in predicting future asthma attacks, as well as their association with each other.
Materials and Methods: Patients with asthma between the ages of 21 to 60 were included. Patients with a smoking history of more than 8 packs per year, as well as, patients in whom spirometry was not recommended were excluded. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and spirometry were performed on patients who gave their consent to conduct the study. The Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire was used to analyze asthma control. Over the course of the three-month follow-up, several exacerbations were recorded. The effectiveness of FeNO, spirometry, and ACT in predicting exacerbations was compared using the Mann-Whitney test, and the correlation between them was determined using Spearman's correlation coefficient.
Results: Exacerbations occurred in 27% of the 100 trial participants. Patients with and without exacerbations had similar levels of FeNO, according to our research. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) FEV1% in patients with and without exacerbations was 67 (54-78) and 74 (64-87), respectively (P = 0.012). In contrast to those without exacerbations, whose median (IQR) ACT scores were 14 (13-17), patients with exacerbations had a median (IQR) ACT score of 11 (9–15), which was considerably lower (P = 0.002). ACT and FeNO had a poor connection (correlation coefficient: -0.166, P = 0.037). The median (IQR) FeNO level (ppb) was lower in patients taking inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) than in the other group, with values of 21 (13-37) and 29 (16-57), respectively (P = 0.04).
Conclusion: FeNO level and ACT score had an inverse relation. FEV1% and ACT scores were better than FeNO at predicting asthma attacks, as per the research conducted in the present study. The utilization of inhaled corticosteroids caused a drop in FeNO levels.

Published: November 2022

Aim: In order to treat locally advanced cervical carcinoma, our goal was to assess the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical hysterectomy, postoperative radiation, and biweekly cisplatin. Materials and Method: Radical type III hysterectomy, adjuvant radiation therapy, and 6-weekly doses of cisplatin at 35 mg/m2 were given to 40 patients staged as IB2-IIIB over the period of three 20-day courses of carboplatin (area under the time plot: 5 mg/min/ml) and paclitaxel (at 170 mg/m2 by 2-h infusion both on day 2). Evaluations were made of response rate, resectability, toxicity, and lifespan. Result: There were 40 patients enrolled. Each was assessed for toxicity and responsiveness to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 100 courses in total were given out. 94% of patients had clinical responses, with a 94% confidence range (CI) of 89.1% to 99%. 8% of the work is finished, while 85% is incomplete. The pathologically complete or nearly complete responses were observed in 16% and 19% of the 40 patients who underwent surgery (resectability: 94%); positive surgical boundaries were identified in 11% of the patients, and positive pelvic lymph nodes were seen in 19% of the patients. Adjuvant chemoradiation was scheduled for 25 patients. A median of 4 cisplatin treatments were administered together with a mean dose of 49.2 Gy over the course of 42.7 days (range, 32–60). The average brachytherapy dose was 30 Gy (range 25.4–35.4). Neutropenia grades 3 and 4 were well tolerated with neoadjuvant therapy in 11% and 2% of the courses, respectively. Adjuvant chemoradiation generally caused grade 1/2 haematological and gastrointestinal toxicity. 35 patients in all completed the entire course of therapy. The estimated overall survival in the intention-to-treat study was 78% (94% CI 61% to 87%) at a median follow-up of 20 months (range 2–25). Neutropenia grades 3 and 4 were well tolerated with neoadjuvant therapy in 11% and 2% of the courses, respectively. Adjuvant chemoradiation generally caused grade 1/2 haematological and gastrointestinal toxicity. Thirty patients in total received the full course of therapy. The estimated overall mortality in the purpose study was 78% (94% CI 61% to 87%) at a median follow-up of 20 months (range 2–25). Conclusion: The combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical hysterectomy, and adjuvant radiotherapy in addition to cisplatin is a highly effective and tolerable approach for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Published: November 2022

According to recent studies and statistics, Cervical Cancer (CC) is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, and mainly in the developing countries. CC has a mortality rate around 60%, in less developing countries and the percentages could go even higher, due to poor screening processes, lack of sensitization, and several other reasons. Therefore, this paper aims to utilize the high capabilities of machine learning techniques in the early prediction of CC. In specific, three well-known feature selection and ranking methods have been used to identify the most significant features that help in the diagnosis process. Also, eighteen different classifiers that belong to six learning strategies have been trained and extensively evaluated against a primary data which consists of five hundred images. Moreover, an investigation regarding the problem of imbalance class distribution which is common in medical dataset is conducted. The results revealed that LWNB and RandomForest classifiers showed the best performance in general, and considering four different evaluation metrics. Also, LWNB and Logistic classifiers were the best choices to handle the problem of imbalance class distribution which is common in medical diagnosis task. The final conclusion could be made is that using an ensemble model which consists of several classifiers such as LWNB, RandomForest, and Logistic is the best solution to handle this type of problems.

Language, Voice, and Performance. Notes on Lily Greenham’s Sound Poetry

In this collective article, we argue for a wider recognition of Lily Greenham’s sound poetry, underscoring her artistic uses of multi lingualism and transnational collaboration. The form of the article is conceptual: in order to signal the importance given to poetry as a collabo rative and transnational activity in Greenham’s oeuvre, we have chosen to write the article in six languages and as a collaboration between six scholars with different backgrounds. The form of the article moreover reflects the privilege given to language as material, structure, and activity in Greenham’s works. The purpose of our article is thus twofold: while we seek to initiate an academic reception of Greenham’s works and to highlight these as important contributions to the traditionally male-dominated  historiography of sound poetry, we also seek to examine how academic writing can alter its conventional forms in order to address works that are not ideally suited for hermeneutic or exegetic acts of reading.

Authors: Sabilu Yusuf , Jafriati  , Zainuddin Asnia
Published: November 2022

Indonesia has various marine resources that can be used, one of which is a sea urchin (Diadema setosum), which can be used as pharmacology and food sources by using their gonad. This study aims to test the toxicity, protein content, and antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of the sea urchin gonad. The sample tests consisted of several stages, namely: maceration performed the extraction using 96% ethanol solvent; the toxicity test used the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test method with Artemia salina Leach as the bioindicator; the protein content test used the Lowry method; anticholesterol activity test was done with ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) method. The results showed that the ethanol extract of the sea urchin gonad had no toxic activity because the IC50 value was more than 1000 ppm, which was 1318.8639 ppm. The protein content of the ethanol extract of the sea urchin gonad was 0.0257% and had no anticholesterol potential with a value of 0.0002%. This research can be performed by conducting tests to determine aspects of reproductive biology and the anti-inflammatory effects of Diadema setosum.

Throughout their education, young people can acquire various skills that they can use on the job market. This study aims to study the perceptions of students regarding the importance of soft skills. Many studies have recently focused on "soft skills" in the labor market, that is to say, non-cognitive skills, particularly in relation to life skills, knowing how to become and knowing how to have, which could influence the employability of future students seeking employment. From a study on a sample of 400 students enrolled in the third year of college in two faculties: the Faculty of Sciences Ben M'Sick (FSBM) of Casablanca, and the Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock (FSAC) of Casablanca, we built a general idea on the opinion of the students of science branches in the university concerning soft skills, we identified the most important soft skills according to their perspective, with various educational institutions' pedagogical methods; their relevance and impact in developing soft skills and their benefits to students, the implementation of soft skills in academic settings, and the measures that should be taken by universities to better enable the acquisition of soft skills.

Published: November 2022

The hormone is known as the bone protein γ-carboxyglutamic acid. The hormone belongs to the family of proteins that depend on vitamin K, as this vitamin is a catalyst in the formation of (γ-carboxylation) that determines its attraction to the bone matrix and calcium, and this contributes to the formation of bones. Moreover, the non-carboxylated form of the hormone that exerts hormonal properties and is also involved in glucose and energy metabolism, stimulates osteoblasts to secrete insulin directly and indirectly from the pancreas through the synthesis of glucagon-like-peptide 1 GLP-1 From the small intestine this enhances insulin sensitivity in fat cells and muscle cells. This property may have an effect on bone mineralization and may lead to a change in bone quality and an increased risk of fractures.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the level of osteocalcin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in comparison with the healthy ones and its relationship with the enzymes (GSH, CP, SOD), and to detect the gene encoding the hormone osteocalcin in the disease and to find the relationship between the hormone osteocalcin and vital variables.

Blood samples were collected from (30) healthy people (15) males and (15) females, their ages ranged from (25-60) years and (30) patients from (19) males and (11) females in a hospital Salah Al-Din General and Al-Sharqat General Hospital, and the analyzes were measured in the central laboratory of the hospital, which were examined by the specialist doctor.

This study showed that the levels of OC in the blood serum of people with rheumatoid arthritis is statistically higher compared to the healthy ones, and a significant decrease in the level of GSH for patients compared with the healthy ones, and a significant increase in the level of CP and the level of SOD for patients compared with the healthy ones, and there is a positive correlation between the level of OC and the level of CP And a negative relationship between OC level, GSH level and SOD level. It was revealed that there were significant differences at the level of probability (P<0.01) of repeating the allele for the OC gene between the group of patients and the healthy ones, where the value of the repeating of the mutated C allele increased and the level of the normal T allele decreased within the group of patients compared to the healthy ones.

Dalam rangka mewujudkan perlindungan terhadap masyarakat pedesaan terhadap paham radikalisme maka pendidikan dan penguatan wawasan kebangsaan untuk masyarakat pedesaan diperlukan sebagai bentuk kepedulian dari setiap pihak, baik pemerintah, masyarakat, dan keluarga. Pendidikan dan penguatan wawasan kebangsaan untuk masyarakat pedesaan akan terbentuk jika semua pihak memiliki kesadaran akan pentingnya pendidikan nilai kebangsaan dimulai semenjak dini. Masyarakat saat ini sangat rentan disusupi oleh paham dan gerakan radikalisme. Hal ini dikarenakan belum ada satu pun kebijakan spesifik untuk melindungi atau memproteksi masyarakat dari penetrasi paham dan gerakan radikalisme. Untuk itu, perlu adanya langkah konkret dalam hal mencegah radikalisasi dan penanaman nilai-nilai kebangsaan. Pendidikan nilai kebangsaan pada masyarakat inilah yang menjadi dasar pembentukan awal karena meluruskan sebatang ranting jauh lebih mudah daripada meluruskan sebatang pohon, maka dari itu pendidikan nilai kebangsaan yang paling efektif adalah pendidikan pada masyarakat, terutama di pedesaan Pengembangan nilai-nilai budaya dan karakter bangsa di masyarakat harus dilakukan dengan tepat. Pengembangan nilai moral untuk masyarakat bisa dilakukan di dalam tiga tri pusat yang ada, yaitu, keluarga, lingkungan, dan masyarakat. Dalam pengembangan nilai moral untuk masyarakat perlu dilakukan dengan sangat hati-hati. Hal ini dikarenakan masyarakat adalah tempat berbagai macam karakter yang heterogen. Maka dari itu, tim pengabdi mengajukan kegiatan pengabdian berkaitan dengan penanaman nilai-nilai kebangsaan terhadap masyarakat pedesaan yang bertujuan untuk mengatasi perpecahbelahan masyarakat Indonesia ini dan mencegah radikalisme di masyarakat, mengingat banyaknya kelompok separatis lahir di Indonesia ini maka salah satu cara untuk memutuskan rantai gejolak yang bertujuan menghancurkan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI). Jadi, kegiatan pengabdian ini tidak hanya memberikan pembekalan tentang internalisasi nilai-nilai kebangsaan pada masyarakat tetapi juga akan diintegrasikan dengan aktivitas masyarakat dalam keseharian yang akan dibimbing secara komprehensif dengan mengambil tema penguatan wawasan kebangsaan Indonesia dan nasionalisme bagi masyarakat sebagai pilar bangsa.

Socio-educational robotics can be defined as investigating teaching-learning processes involving robots capable of bonding, learning and communicating. These robots are used as a didactic tool for their ability to interact with people, and they are designed to meet their objectives and benefit the human beings involved in the process. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the social and educational purpose of the intervention itself that will be carried out with them. However, the deontological code of the pedagogy profession does not include social robotics since it is a relatively new phenomenon in education. All the didactic interventions using robots must be designed to be compatible with the ideals of human dignity, rights, freedoms and cultural diversity.

MUSEUM AS AN OBJECT OF CHANGE
Authors: Andžāne Ieva
Published: November 2022

Over the last decades the museum sector has experienced substantial changes. The need for change has been stressed by such well-known museologists and practi- tioners as Stephen E. Weil, David Flemming and others. Moreover, the change of and within museums has arisen as one of the most important topics of several professional networks and conferences, such as “We Are Museums”, which was cre- ated in 2013 as yearly event at the intersection of culture and innovation. Thus, we can speak about paradigm of change in contemporary museums that affects their performance and future strategies. This paradigm of change in museum sector seems especially interesting if we think about the symbolic role of a museum. Traditionally a museum is an institution that keeps our heritage intact and until recently this task has been perceived as its main function. Not without reason the museum has been used as symbol for standstill, unchangeable in art and literature. Yet now we are asking for museums to change themselves and their public offer. The aim of the article is to track the development of paradigm of change in museum sector and to outline the most important fields that had been affected by change during past decades. The change of museum sector has been viewed in regional context, marking the most important trends: 1) changes in the models of museum funding; 2) changes in museum’s strategic priorities; 3) changes in our perception of a museum. Still, it is important to remember that an organization can never change just one thing – in most cases museums are subjected to more than one of these trends. The results in almost all cases are similar – growing importance of museum management.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL THOUGHT IN LATVIA DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RIVER DAUGAVA HYDROPOWER PLANTS
Authors: Broka-Lāce Zenta
Published: November 2022

The construction of the Daugava River Hydropower Plants (HPPs) and cor- responding impact on archaeological monuments directly showed the importance of landscape. It is a manifest example how identity of whole nation relies on sym- bols. It needs to be asked what is left when the landscape – formed, shaped and developed through hundreds and thousands of years – has been brutally destroyed. During the 1960s archaeologists worked mostly in two regions – Pļaviņas and Riga HPP submerging zones [Loze, Cimermanis 1969: 2–3]. That was really huge and planned research. For archaeologists it was clear that the collected material would keep the story of the life in ancient villages, hillforts and castles as well as peoples living, who had lived there, alive, when all of it would be under the water. Besides the negative aspects, research that went on for many years has shaped and formed archaeological science as well as the development of archaeological thought. The goal of this paper is to examine what pros and cons these works have left and how to evaluate them in today’s context.

Authors: Gricmanis Matīss
Published: November 2022

The paper is an essay about three different autobiographical stories. The play by the author “Being a Nationalist”, the memoir book “Catharsis” (Katarse, 2012) by the lawyer Andris Grūtups and 60 notebooks of diaries by the homosexual Kaspars Irbe. The author shows the different approaches a playwright can have and what is his own mode of thinking in structuring “life” for a theatrical performance.
LA DESMOTIVACIÓN DE LOS ESTUDIANTES ADULTOS DE ELE: UN ACERCAMIENTO DESDE LOS SISTEMAS DINÁMICOS COMPLEJOS. THE DEMOTIVATION OF ADULT STUDENTS OF SFL: AN APPROACH FROM THE COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEMS THEORY
Authors: Méndez-Santos María del Carmen
Published: November 2022

Demotivation while learning a foreign language is a widely analysed pheno menon for English, but the same cannot be said for Spanish. For this reason, in this paper, first, we perform a brief theoretical review of the existing research about demotivation and also, we introduce the terminology in Spanish. Then, a preliminary and exploratory qualitative study is presented, whose sample is based on open questionnaires. The analysis of the responses was carried out through the classification of clusters and under the theoretical conception of Complex Dynamic Systems. Finally, these first results are evaluated to improve the questionnaire to carry out massive data collection work in the future, and recommendations based on these first indications are offered both at the structural level of the educational system and at the classroom level for improvement of the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.
RESTORATION OF THE LINGUISTIC TRADITION OF ETHNIC LIVS: ASPECTS OF MOTIVATION
Authors: Muktupāvela Rūta , Treimane Agnese
Published: November 2022

Livs are one of the Baltic Finnish ethnic groups; their historical location is in the north-western part of Kurzeme and Vidzeme Regions in Latvia. According to the 2011 census in Latvia, 250 individuals defined themselves as Livs. This marks a significant rise in their population, compared to 48 individuals in the 1970s. Linguistically, Livs are Finno-Ugrians, thus differing from Latvians who represent the Indo-European speaking family. Ethnological data of the 19th and 20th century provide evidence that Livs have been predominantly bi-lingual, gradually leaving their own language in the second place and therefore natural inheritance of the language diminished as a result, until it was broken, supposedly in 2013. Nowadays we can observe a strong tendency to restore Liv culture and linguistic tradition. The present-day statistics indicate about 200 speakers of the Liv language. Field research shows that members of the Liv community recog- nise the increase of prestige and popularity of their language, nevertheless the main language experts today are researchers and those interested in ethnic identity matters. This might serve as evidence that the language tradition is revived rather than naturally inherited within the Liv community. What is the motivation to restore the language tradition in the 21st century, if the instrumental linguistic function of ethnic minorities has become clearly marginalised and only symbolic aspects have remained topical? This issue will be examined in the paper.

Vurdering i kroppsøving for livslang friluftslivsglede
Authors: Mandelid Mathias Brekke , Abelsen Kristian , Leirhaug Petter Erik
Published: November 2022

Friluftsliv og vurdering i kroppsøving står fram som utfordrande å innfri etter Læreplan for Kunnskapsløftet 2006 sine intensjonar. Denne studien undersøker korleis fem lærarar beskriv vurderingsarbeid etter å ha gjennomført 12 timar friluftslivsundervisning i kroppsøving på Vg1. Lærarane deltok i eit aksjonsforskingsprosjekt og vart intervjua i etterkant av friluftslivsundervisninga. Studien syner at det ikkje er automatikk i at lærarar med kompetanse i friluftsliv og god forståing for læreplan og vurdering, operasjonaliserer og legg til rette for å integrere vurdering som del av friluftslivsundervisninga i kroppsøving. Lærarane har vektlagt sosial kompetanse og samarbeid i undervisninga og ser dette som grunnleggande for å skape gode naturopplevingar for elevane. Det kjem fram korleis friluftsliv med eit slikt innhald balanserer ein dominerande idretts- og prestasjonsorientert kroppsøvingspraksis og kan bidra til endring. Kva gjeld vurdering synast lærarane meir usikre, både på korleis og i kva grad dei skal vurdere elevane i friluftsliv. Dei søker  ny forståing og formative tilnærmingar, men omtalen av gjennomført vurderingsarbeid er prega av tradisjonelle tankemønster omkring vurdering. Funn syner eit behov for å gå opp nye stigar i skulen sitt læringslandskap for friluftsliv, både kva gjeld vurdering og korleis skape verdifullt friluftsliv i kontekst av kroppsøving.

Health and disease states are dictated or accompanied by corresponding alterations in genes, mRNAs, proteins and metabolites. Over the past few decades, various ‘omic’ technologies have been developed to study the genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome respectively. Since oral cancers are one of the leading causes of death globally, much of research work has attempted to study the analytes in cancerous conditions by utilizing the various ‘omic’ modalities. These studies have aimed to understand the pathogenesis of head and neck cancers, aid in their diagnosis, devise new treatment strategies, and improve prognosis. It is imperative for surgeons and pathologists to be in line with the updates pertaining to various ‘omic’ methodologies available for studying the analytes. The present review comprehensively describes the development of various ‘omic’ technologies, including- genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, while emphasizing their applicability in oral cancers.
El control de alimentos y las responsabilidades institucionales
Authors: Maldonado Cáceres Humberto Ismael
Published: November 2022

La Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC), es la entidad que rige el comercio de mercancías de origen animal y vegetal y otras; por medio de sus organismos normalizadores, denominados “las 3 Hermanas” (OIE, CIPF y CODEX), emiten disposiciones que los Estados Miembros incorporan en su legislación y normativa sanitaria y fitosanitaria. En Guatemala existen dos entidades normalizadoras para proteger la vida humana, por medio de controles sanitarios en animales, productos y subproductos, y en vegetales, siendo estas: a) El Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social (MSPAS) y, b) el Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación (MAGA). Estas se basan en el Código de Salud, Decreto Ley 90-97 aprobado el 2 de octubre del año 1997; y en la Ley de Sanidad Vegetal y Animal, Decreto Ley 36-98 aprobado el 06 de mayo del año 1998. Por el incremento de consumo de carne ilegal (carne de perro), se hace un análisis de las responsabilidades de las entidades vinculadas a la salud pública, al control de alimentos callejeros, recayendo esta función en el MSPAS a través de la Dirección General del Sistema Integral de Atención en Salud (SIAS); las municipalidades, quienes además de autorizar y velar por la inocuidad en los mataderos, también son responsables del control en mercados, ferias y ventas de alimentos en la vía pública. Al MAGA le compete el control en los centros autorizados para el destace de animales, como bovinos, aves y cerdos.
