El material particulado (PM) es uno de los contaminantes más importantes presentes en el aire, representando un riesgo medioambiental para la salud. Las partículas con un diámetro de 10 micrones o menos (PM10), al ser inhalables, pueden penetrar y alojarse profundamente en los pulmones, contribuyendo al riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares y respiratorias, así como cáncer de pulmón, enfermedades mentales, dermatitis, daño ocular e incluso al aumento en las tasas de mortalidad. Se estableció como objetivo determinar la calidad del aire interior asociada a la inmisión de material particulado (PM10) en la zona este 2, un sector industrial ubicado en los distritos san juan de Lurigancho y Lurigancho-Chosica, Perú. Para tal fin, se propone el uso de indicadores duales: ecológicos y sociales. De acuerdo a los indicadores ecológicos explorados, la concentración media de PM10 en el aire exterior (CME) superó el límite de 100 μg/m3 establecido por MINAM. Aunque la mediana de CME (93,7μg/m3; IC 95%=89,07-98,33) estuvo por debajo de este límite, el cuartil superior lo superó, entendido por elevaciones puntuales de hasta 131 μg/m3 (Figura 2), potencialmente dañinos para la salud humana. El coeficiente de correlación de Spearman de 0,921, obtenido del análisis bivariado entre los valores de concentración media diaria de PM10 exterior e interior, previo a la instalación de filtros en los sistemas de ventilación, es sugerente del efecto que puede tener la inmisión de aire ambiental con material particulado como vector de la contaminación del aire interior. al considerar los valores de la concentración media diaria, obtenidos en los 15 días posteriores a la instalación de los filtros (CMIFI), se observa que la concentración media de PM10 en el interior disminuyó en relación a la quincena anterior. El coeficiente de correlación de Spearman de 0,869 entre los indicadores CMIFI y CME, permite proponer que, en esta segunda fase, la calidad del aire interior fue influenciada en menor proporción por la contaminación de material particulado del aire ambiental, es decir que se presentó menos inmisión de PM10, gracias al proceso de filtrado, lo que disminuye el riesgo para la salud de los trabajadores.

Published: July 2022

Farklı toplum kesimleri ve ulusal ekonomiler üzerindeki etkileri nedeniyle enflasyon, özellikle kriz dönemlerinde dünyanın en önemli sorunlarından biri haline gelmektedir. Enflasyonun kamu bütçesi üzerinde de birtakım etkileri bulunmaktadır. Vergi ve harcamaların gecikme süresi ve esnekliği ile enflasyon oranına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan bu etkiler, literatürde Tanzi ve Patinkin etkileri olarak bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1975-2019 dönemi için Türkiye’de enflasyonun bütçe açığı üzerindeki etkisini Tanzi ve Patinkin etkileri çerçevesinde araştırmaktır. Yapısal kırılmaları dikkate alan modellerin kullanıldığı çalışmada, enflasyonun bütçe açığı üzerindeki etkisinin kuadratik bir yapıda olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, analizin gerçekleştirilmesinde Maki (2012) eşbütünleşme testi, FMOLS ve DOLS katsayı tahmincileri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, söz konusu dönemde Türkiye’de enflasyon ve bütçe açığı ilişkisinin kuadratik bir yapıda olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna göre enflasyon oranı belirli bir noktaya kadar arttığında bütçe açığını artırmakta ve daha sonra azaltmaktadır.

Published: July 2022

Ky libër ka qenë një bestseller në psikoterapi në Gjermani për shumë vite, veçanërisht për psikoterapistët në trajnim. Që në fillim bëhet shumë e qartë se cili është thelbi i psikoterapisë psikodinamike. Ky kuptim është gjithashtu i rëndësishëm dhe i dobishëm për psikoterapistët humanistë. Lexuesi shpejt fiton një pasqyrë të koncepteve të ndryshme themelore psikoanalitike që janë ende të vlefshme sot dhe janë të bazuara shkencërisht. Procedura diagnostike, sqarimi i detyrës dhe përcaktimi i qëllimeve të terapisë, analiza e transferimit dhe kundërtransferimit, e mbrojtjes dhe e rezistencës si dhe formimi i saktë i hipotezave në lidhje me kuptimin e pavetëdijshëm dhe funksionin e simptomave psikologjike kryhen me një logjikë të brendshme të rreptë, për të cilën ndryshe njihen më mirë terapistët e sjelljes. Planifikimi i trajtimit është gjithashtu jashtëzakonisht praktik. Spektri i gjerë i metodave dhe teknikave terapeutike ilustrohet me raste studimore të qarta. Përvoja e miliona pacientëve kanë çuar në zhvillimin e koncepteve të përmbajtjes si dhe një kornizë organizative që jep shumë strukturë. Këto përvoja mund të jenë shumë të dobishme për kolegët e vendeve të tjera në punën e tyre. Libri është rishikuar plotësisht dhe është përshtatur për lexuesit ndërkombëtar. Prandaj, libri është veçanërisht i përshtatshëm për pjesëmarrësit e trajnimit psikologjik dhe mjekësor, por është gjithashtu një vepër referimi e domosdoshme për “duart e vjetra”.
Domestic abuse: the ‘shadow pandemic’
Authors: McQuigg Ronagh
Published: July 2022

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, incidents of domestic abuse have increased substantially around the world. The lockdown measures which were adopted by many jurisdictions, although necessary to limit the spread of the virus, nevertheless resulted in those living in abusive relationships finding themselves to be even more isolated. Indeed, UN Women has termed violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘shadow pandemic’. This article discusses the increased levels of domestic abuse globally, proceeds to examine the rise in instances of domestic abuse on the island of Ireland, and then analyses the measures adopted in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in response. It is argued that, although meritorious steps were taken in both jurisdictions, essentially the pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing difficulties with the responses of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to this issue.

Rationing Justice: Tempering Demand for Courts in the Managerialist State
Authors: Opeskin Brian
Published: July 2022

Over the past generation there have been significant reforms to the way the state supports the just resolution of legal disputes. Influenced by public sector managerialism, the state has sought ever greater cost-effectiveness by tempering demand for justice in the courts. Using Australia as an example, this article analyses six processes by which the state has modulated this demand, namely, extinguishing, expelling, diverting, incentivising, filtering and demoting. But at what price? Greater efficiencies sometimes come at a cost to other fundamental values, such as access to justice, fair process, impartial decision-making, just outcomes and public trust. This article evaluates these tensions by examining a suite of specific demand management mechanisms that have been widely used in civil and criminal disputes in Australia.
Employment Discrimination by Algorithm: Can Anyone Be Held Accountable?
Authors: Sheard Natalie
Published: July 2022

Accountable? Author Natalie Sheard The use by employers of Algorithmic Hiring Systems (‘AHSs’) to automate or assist with recruitment decisions is occurring in Australia without legal oversight. Regulators are yet to undertake an analysis of the legal issues posed by their use. Academic literature on this topic is limited and judicial guidance is yet to be provided. This article examines to what extent, if at all, Australian anti- discrimination laws are able to regulate the use by employers of discriminatory AHSs. First, it examines the re-emergence of blatant discrimination by digital job advertising systems. Second, it considers who, if anyone, is liable for automated discrimination. Third, it examines the law’s ability to regulate ‘proxy’ discrimination. Finally, it explores whether indirect discrimination provisions can provide redress for the disparate impact of an AHS. Australia’s anti-discrimination laws are long overdue for reform. This article concludes that new legislative provisions, as well as non- binding guidelines, specifically tailored to the use by employers of algorithmic decision systems are needed.

Authors: Albuquerque Hidelbrando Lino de , Carvalho Mário de Faria
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo, inspirado na teoria do imaginário de Gilbert Durand, reflete sobre concepção de educação em sua dimensão simbólica. São tecidas considerações que relacionam o conceito de pedagogia do imaginário à luz da obra do referido autor. O marco teórico é proposto a partir do estudos sobre o imaginário de Gilbert Durand (1964, 1989, 1994, 1996, 2004, 2014) em diálogo com autores como Ernest Cassirer (1977), Gaston Bachelard (1996), Mircea Eliade (2016), Henry Corbin (1972), Edgar Morin (2005) e Jorge Larrosa (2002, 2010, 2018). O elã fenomenológico do estudo é organizado em oposição ao racionalismo científico clássico e abrange a opção pela abordagem qualitativa, através de uma revisão de literatura. As considerações construídas ressaltam a convergência do pensamento de Gilbert Durand em relação a uma perspectiva sensível da educação e que delineia alguns contornos por nós identificados sobre a pedagogia do Imaginário.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Canities is a scientific term used to describe the graying of hair. The graying of hair varies with age and ethnicity. Aging of hair occurs due to reduced melanin synthesis by the pigment producing cell melanocytes. Premature canities are becoming increasingly common. However, the etiology of premature canities remains unknown. Hence this study aimed to determine the prevalence of premature canities and its association with family history. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry of the students studying in ACS Medical College and Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019. Students aged less than 25 years participated in this present study. Results: Totally 519 volunteers 179 subjects had premature canities. The prevalence of Premature canities was 34.5%. It was more prevalent among females (n=97) 54% compared to males (n=82) 46%. Early onset of hair graying occurred in subjects with family history of gray hair. Among them 49 % of the subjects had family history of premature canities predominantly maternal family history (33%).

Current treatment guidelines include fluconazole as the main therapeutic option for treating oral candidiasis infection in HIV/AIDS patients, but resistance increases. Several in vitro studies have shown that clove leaf essential oil with the main content of eugenol can be an alternative therapy for oral candidiasis that is resistant to fluconazole. This study was conducted to determine the zone of inhibition of clove leaf essential oil and fluconazole against Candida isolates species that cause oral candidiasis in HIV/AIDS patients. This study showed that the average fluconazole disk 25 μg/mL inhibition zone in 20 isolates of Candida albicans species was larger than non-albicans Candida species. The zone of inhibition of clove leaf essential oil was significantly lower than that of fluconazole (p < 0.05), except at a concentration of 15% against non-albicans Candida isolates. Clove leaf essential oil has an antifungal effect that can inhibit the growth of Candida species, so it can be considered an alternative antifungal therapy. Clove leaf essential oil concentration of 15% showed no significant difference in antifungal activity with the standard drug fluconazole in isolates of non-albicans Candida species.

Published: July 2022

The β-glucan extracted from the yeast cell wall was irradiated by gamma rays from a Co-60 source at doses from 100 to 300kGy in swelling condition of 10% (w/v) for degradation. The water soluble content of irradiated sample increased from 25.89 to 66.71% by the increasing of doses from 100 to 300kGy. While the molecular weight of water soluble β-glucan was found to be decreased from 48.13 (at 100kGy) to 10.77 kDa (at 300kGy). The UV-spectra of resultant water soluble β-glucan were appeared a new peak at 265nm with the intensity increased by the increase of the dose. The IR spectra of irradiated β-glucan samples were also recognized by an increase of peak intensity at1731cm-1 assigned to C=O linkages and a decrease of peak intensity at 1156cm-1 assigned to C-O-C glycosidic linkages by the increasing of dose. In addition, the oligoβ-glucan with Mw about 18 kDa obtained at 250kGy-irradiated sample strongly promoted the growth of mustard green and lettuce. The oligoβ-glucan prepared by radiation techniques showed as a high effective plant growth promoter. This product is potentially promising for application in high-technological agriculture for production of clean vegetables and agro-products.

Authors: Vo Thi Kim Lang , Nguyen Thuy Khanh , Doan Thi The , Nguyen Thi Tu Trinh
Published: July 2022

Garlic powder was irradiated by gamma-rays from a Co-60 source to reduce microbialcontamination for prolong the storage and preservation time. Results showed that the initial microbial number of about 106CFU/g contaminated in garlic powder was exceeded for the set standard of TCVN 7809 – 2007 and ISO 5560 – 1997. The total aerobic bacteria and yeast mold cells of irradiated garlic powder were reduced from 106 CFU/g to 104, 6103 and 6102 CFU/g at doses of 0, 4, 8 and 12 kGy, respectively. The level of microbial contamination was significantly reduced by irradiation at 4 kGybut it is only appropriate for domestic acceptance. At the irradiation doses of 8 and 12 kGy, the level of microbial contamination was further reduced after storage for two months and it is appropriate to export. In addition, the irradiated garlic powder was in good quality with no change of moisture, oil content and sensory properties. Thus, gamma Co-60 irradiation is a very effective method for reducing the number of microbial contaminated in garlic powder.

Published: July 2022

Hotel provides facilities for customers and earns revenue. In this sector of business, many challenges might be faced by the hotel management since there arise price competition between hotels. Hotel management has to follow some strategies to earn maximum revenue. Though it is difficult to estimate actual profit in any epidemic situations, we showed the optimal revenue is possible even within this kind of epidemic situations. And to do this, a revenue management model was developed in terms of pricing and room allocation capacity. Price is the sole factor in this model. Two types of demand models are used, one is deterministic demand model and another is stochastic demand model and both are used for pricing model and capacity model formulation. This work showed how hotels can gain more revenue by using proposed capacity and pricing model, even in the time of global crisis situation like COVID-19 epidemic.

Hacia una estética de la voz cantada como cuerpo expresivo
Authors: Machuca Téllez Daniel , Pérez Joaquín Blas
Published: July 2022

La forma en la que interactuamos, y a través de nuestros sentidos, damos significado al mundo que nos rodea, ha sido un tema central para la filosofía y la psicología contemporánea. En relación a la práctica musical como hacer artístico, debemos considerar a esta interacción también como un tipo de experiencia estética. Creemos que, en el marco de las problemáticas abordables desde la estética, podemos ubicar a la voz cantada incluso más allá de la idea de la música como obra u objeto. En este sentido, la voz surge como una forma comunicativa en donde, un tiempo-espacio determinado, las diferentes formas de interacción con el otro y las significaciones que emergen pre y durante la interacción, configuran las formas en las que se produce el sonido vocal; nuestra voz, entendida como un cuerpo expresivo, se transforma constantemente dando sentido a cada momento que transcurre en la producción vocal, en la performance musical. A continuación, presentamos un ensayo sobre los significados estéticos relativos al sonido musical de la voz cantada como cuerpo expresivo, a partir de dos apartados generales, (i) la dimensión estética de lo musical como experiencia, y (ii) la voz como expresión corporal.
Coro de claves y rumbas de Santi Spíritus. 1961-2012 cincuenta y un años de tradición
Authors: Torres Cabrera Aida Ilen
Published: July 2022

El coro de claves y rumbas de Sancti Spíritus es una tradición revitalizada en 1961 con la presencia mayoritaria de músicos portadores de dicha tradición musical, producto de la política cultural cubana en relación con la preservación de las manifestaciones tradicionales cubanas.  La historia del actual coro fue reconstruida mediante  análisis bibliográfico y hemerográfico y mediante entrevistas.  La observación permitió la grabación in situ para la transcripción musical de la muestra que sirvió de soporte al análisis musical. Este último método generó la caracterización de la tradición musical en sus condiciones actuales. Esta tradición dinamizó el ingreso de nuevos  integrantes, que ahora son considerados reproductores mediante la transmisión directa de sus portadores. La variación de rasgos originales y la asimilación de otros nuevos  en su praxis musical proceden de la interacción entre institucionalización y tradición. El cambio de los espacios característicos de presentación de la agrupación, provocó una serie de modificaciones, aunque son mayores los elementos que se conservan. La institucionalización salvaguardó la agrupación y su patrimonio, -aun cuando existieron errores atentaron en la aplicación de las políticas concernientes, y que atentaron contra la trascendencia y la calidad artística del grupo

A COVID-19 az élet valamennyi területén érezteti a hatását, olykor szó szerint megbénítva azt. Többek között ez történt a járvány kitörésekor, amikor a kormányok a világ minden táján az államhatárok lezárásával reagáltak a dinamikusan terjedő fertőzésre. 2020. április 17-én a schengeni övezet államai közül 17-en jelezték az Európai Bizottságnak a határellenőrzés visszaállítását. A bezárkózásnak köszönhetően jött el az uniós konzuli véde lmi politika működésének igazi próbája, hiszen ebben az időszakban nagyszámú uniós polgár rekedt olyan harmadik állam területén, ahonnan a hazatérése akadályozott, ha nem lehetetlen volt. Felmerült a kérdés, hogy vajon miként vizsgázott az Európai Unió által szabályozott konzuli védelmi kooperáció. A tanulmány a harmadik államokban rekedt uniós polgárok számára a hazaszállításban nyújtott segítség mint konzuli védelmi intézkedés megvalósításának tanulságai alapján vizsgálja a kérdést. Az e tekintetben rendelkezésre álló statisztikai adatok, illetve az azóta történt jogalkotás fényében igyekszik választ adni, továbbá felállítani a prognózist: a repatriálás szempontjából a közös konzuli védelmi politika működőképes, azonban a hatékonysága fejlesztésre szorul, amelynek érdekében az első jogalkotási fejlemények még az események sűrűjében megszülettek.

A tanulmány a magyar közigazgatási szervezetrendszerre vonatkozó jogi szabályozás fejlődésének ívét mutatja be a rendszerváltozástól napjainkig. Azt vizsgálja, hogy a központi és területi államigazgatási rendszer közigazgatási jogi szabályozására hogyan hatott a politikai kormányzás fogalmának megjelenése és megerősödése a magyar kormányzati munkában. A tanulmány felvázolja a témában leginkább meghatározó reformelképzelések célkitűzéseit, azok hatását a közigazgatási jogi szabályozásra. A szerzők a központi hivatal példáján mutatják be, hogyan gyengült a szervezeti jog garanciális szerepe a közigazgatási szervezetrendszer meghatározásában és irányításában, és értékelik, hogy ennek a folyamatnak milyen hatása van az egyes közigazgatási szervtípusok egymáshoz való viszonyára, a közigazgatás személyzetének helyzetére és a közigazgatásba vetett bizalom alakulására.

Tanulmányunkban szeretnénk bemutatni a folyamatosan változó közszolgálat érdekegyeztető fórumrendszerét. Ebből a rendszerből is a makroszintű és a mezoszintű fórumokra fókuszálunk. Fontosnak tartjuk ezen fórumrendszerek bemutatását, mivel a közszolgálatra fokozottan érvényes, hogy az abban foglalkoztatott személyek a kiszolgáltatottabb fél pozícióját foglalják el. Ezt bizonyítják a 2020-ban a közalkalmazotti jogviszonyt érintő változások is. A témát a jogösszehasonlítás eszközével szeretnénk kontextusba helyezni, melyhez a francia közszolgálat megoldásait fogjuk megvizsgálni.
A Study on Characteristics of Public Design Planning through Comparison of Design Planning, Architecture Planning, and Administration Planning
Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, Kang Sung Joong
Published: July 2022

Although planning is core action to set up strategy and direction of public design projects, academic studies for public design planning are not sufficient. The study aims to shape up notion and properties of public design planning through comparison of design planning at corporate management, adminstration planning, and architecture planning. The study is done by literature research and comparative analysis. Comparative analysis focuses on design planning at private companies, planning tasks at architecture planning, and ideologies at administration planning. While planning means procedure and methods for projects, plan means detailed activity goals and steps. Design planning at design management is overall activity of strategic perspective as fundamental process for design development of product, space, brand, and visual output. Design planning establishes design strategies for companies, sets up the direction of corporative design development through analysis of market and customers. Planning at public administration should have legal, economic, political, and social ideologies. Public design planning should share ideologies of administration planning for publicity. Architecture service promotion law defines roles and range of architecture planning, and guideline for architecture planning presents detailed methods. Public design planning should have philosophy and value for public interest, and procedure and methods to secure publicity.
Evaluation of the thrombolytic activity of the methanolic extract of Melia azedarach fruits and leaves in vitro
Authors: Hussain Hiba , Agha Mohammed
Published: July 2022

Melia azedarach is a plant of the Meliaceae family, used around the world in various medical fields. Because of the widespread incidence of thrombosis worldwide especially during the coronavirus epidemic, this study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro thrombolytic effect of methanolic extracts of Melia azedarach leaves and fruits. Series of dilutions starting from 2mg/ml to 20mg/ml were prepared from the methanolic extracts. The results showed that thrombolysis rates were between (18.7%-29.3%) for fruit extract in distilled water, ( 18.3%-30.1%) in phosphate buffer, (19.3%-35%) for leaves extract in distilled water and (20%-32.3%) in phosphate buffer for dilutions from 2 mg/ml to 20mg/ml. The thrombolytic effect for streptokinase (positive control) was 47.54% in distilled water, and 44.36% in phosphate buffer, compared with negative control which was 5.94% and 6.34% respectively.
Phytochemical screening found flavonoids and coumarins in leaves extract and only flavonoids in fruit extract, so this may suggest that the increase in thrombolytic effect may be attributed to these flavonoids and coumarins. The total phenolic content was 15.78 (mg GAE1g) in leaves extract and 3.64 (mg GAE1g) in fruit extract, while the total flavonoid content was 0.813 (mg QE1g) in leaves extract, and 0.17 (mg QE1g) in fruit extract. In conclusion, these results showed that Melia azedarach has a thrombolytic effect.

Pesticides are necessary in agriculture, yet their highly toxic ingredients harm the ecosystem. Due of their toxicity, uncontrolled releases of large quantities of pesticides pollute the environment and provide a larger health risk to plants, animals, and humans. Bacteria are capable of degrading such pollutants and saving our ecosystem. In this work, a bacterial strain was isolated from Shobicron and Vertimec-treated lady's finger soil using enrichment culture. The strain was identified as Burkholderia Cepacia-Like MB-01 based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits, as well as phylogenetic analysis of the 16SrRNA sequence. The bacterium grew best at 35 °C with a pH of 7. Furthermore, it was susceptible (S) to Cefepime and Penicillin but intermediate (I) resistant to Carbapenem and Tetracycline and resistant (R) to Ciprofloxacin, Kanamycin, and Gentamycin in an antibiotic sensitivity test. The rate of shobicron and vertimec degradation was measured over a five-day period using Mineral Salt (MS) medium. In its optimum growth condition, shobicron and vertimec degradation rates were determined to be around 76 % and 80 %, respectively. The isolated bacterial strain was found to be capable of detoxifying shobicron and vertimec in the experiment. As a result, the bacterial strain could be exploited as a possible shobicron and vertimec degrader for pesticide bioremediation.
Felbamate as an oral add-on therapy in six dogs with presumptive idiopathic epilepsy and generalized seizures resistant to drug therapy
Authors: Dewey Curtis , Rishniw Mark , Sakovitch Kasie
Published: July 2022

Background: Idiopathic or genetic epilepsy commonly affects dogs; affected dogs are often refractory to anti-seizure drug therapy. Felbamate is an anti-seizure drug with established pharmacokinetic and safety data for dogs, but little published evidence of efficacy for managing generalized seizures in this species.
Aim: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of oral felbamate in 6 presumptive epileptic dogs experiencing generalized seizures.
Methods: Medical records from 6 dogs with presumptive idiopathic/genetic epilepsy manifesting as generalized seizure activity, for which oral felbamate was used as an add-on treatment, were reviewed. The number of seizures recorded for the three-month period immediately before instituting felbamate was recorded for each dog. Short-term (3 months) and long-term (6 months or greater) seizure frequency post-felbamate therapy was recorded for each dog and compared with baseline.
Results: Overall, dogs experienced a reduction (82%) in seizures after adding felbamate in the short-term, with 5/6 dogs (83%) classified as responders (50% or greater reduction in seizures) and 3/6 dogs (50%) attaining seizure-free status. Mean and median long-term follow-up times were 13 and 11 months, respectively (range: 6 to 23 months). Four of the 6 dogs (67%) remained drug responders at final follow-up, with an average seizure reduction of 98%, 2 of which remained seizure free at 8 and 21 months. Two dogs (33%) experienced increased seizure activity during long-term follow-up (12 and 23 months) and were considered non-responders. The non-responder dogs had an average long-term seizure reduction of 33%. No dog experienced any obvious adverse effects associated with felbamate administration. However, one dog not included in the analysis because of insufficient (<3 month) post-felbamate follow-up, was weaned off felbamate because of suspected hepatotoxicity.
Conclusion: Our preliminary investigation suggests that oral felbamate might show promise as an add-on drug for epileptic dogs experiencing generalized seizures resistant to drug therapy. These results warrant more controlled, prospective investigation into felbamate as a therapeutic agent for canine epilepsy.

Authors: عبد الرحيم وليد
Published: July 2022

The article illustrates the changes to the United Nations that incurred upon it as the result of world events during the 77 years since its establishment in 1945. After defining the events, the article articulates their effects. The events are the following: the liquidation of the colonial system, the rise and fall of the Soviet empire and, the emergence of a new world order under the leadership of the United States of America. The effects are the following. Certain articles fall into disuse by not being implemented or applied. Other articles were interpreted or applied in ways that the founders of the United Nations did not contemplate. Special organs and agencies were created. Supplementary or supporting treaties or agreements were concluded. The organs and procedures of the United Nations underwent an evolutionary growth through the process of trial and error. These events affected the system, structure, functions and roles of the United Nations, and the influence within. The article aims to prove that the 2022 United Nations is differently distinct than the 1945 United Nations.

Authors: Amin  , Hermanto
Published: July 2022

This study attempts to identify two questions: first, what role does geography learning play in fostering students' spiritual intelligence; and second, how do socio-cultural, psychological, and demographic factors influence students' spiritual intelligence? A sample of 79 students from Teratai Putih Global Bekasi High School participated in this survey. Through the use of questionnaires, data collection techniques were implemented, and SPSS software was utilized for data analysis. The data analysis includes a test of validity using the approach of corrected item-total correlation, a test of reliability, an Independent T test, and structural equation modeling (SEM). There were no significant changes in students' spiritual intelligence depending on gender, level or class, or the type of work their parents conducted. However, there were substantial variances in students' spiritual intelligence.
Computed Tomography Angiograms Performed for Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Embolism
Authors: Alrehaili Mona
Published: July 2022

Background: Pulmonary embolism is a known condition in the emergency department with high morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a rapid diagnostic tool to detect pulmonary embolism however, the number of positive scans has decreased and the frequency of observed non-embolic findings has increased over time as this tool has been overutilized to provide other alternative diagnoses.
Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of pulmonary embolism and non-embolic findings in patients who underwent CT pulmonary angiography for suspected pulmonary embolism.
Design and Setting: In this cross-sectional study we retrospectively analyzed consecutive 158 CTPA images and reports performed for suspected pulmonary embolism at a Saudi tertiary care hospital. The non-embolic findings were classified based on their location.
Results: The prevalence of pulmonary embolism was 26.6%. No statistically significant difference was found between the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism with respect to gender and age. The prevalence of non-embolic findings among the whole study was 86.7%. Pulmonary findings represented 45.2% of all non-embolic findings followed by pleural findings in 18.3%. Lung opacification and pleural effusion were the most commonly occurring findings.
Conclusion: Relative to other studies our center has a reasonable prevalence of CTPA studies being positive for pulmonary embolism however, we encourage balancing the potential benefits and harms by following a well-structured clinical approach to improve the healthcare quality and safety.
