The Feminist Approach in the Decision-making Process for Treatment of Women With Breast Cancer
Authors: Szumacher Ewa
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The principal aim of this review was to investigate a feminist approach to the decision-making process for women with breast cancer. Empirical research into patient preferences for being informed about and participating in healthcare decisions has some limitations because it is mostly quantitative and designed within the dominant medical culture. Indigenous medical knowledge and alternative medical treatments are not widely accepted because of the lack of confirmed efficacy of such treatments in evidence-based literature. While discussing their treatment options with oncologists, women with breast cancer frequently express many concerns regarding treatment side effects, and sometimes decline conventional treatment when the risks are too high.

Methods: A search of all relevant literary sources, including Pub-Med, ERIC, Medline, and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto was conducted. The key words for selection of the articles were “feminism,” “decision-making,” “patients preferences for treatment,” and “breast cancer.”
Results: Fifty-one literary sources were selected. The review was divided into the following themes: (1) limitations of the patient decision-making process in conventional medicine; (2) participation of native North American patients in healthcare decisions; (3) towards a feminist approach to breast cancer; and (4) towards a feminist theory of breast cancer.
Conclusion: This article discusses the importance of a feminist approach to the decision-making process for treatment of patients with breast cancer. As the literature suggests, the needs of minority patients are not completely fulfilled in Western medical culture. Introducing feminist theory into evidence-based medicine will help patients to be better informed about treatment choices and will assist them to select treatment according to their own beliefs and values.

Authors: Shakeel Osama , Haroon Muhammad , Khan Muhammad Imran , Ammar Ahmed Siddique , Atiq Muhammad , Hanif Faisal
Published: March 2023

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is commonly performed for benign gallbladder diseases. Biliary leak is the most common complication of bile duct injury following this surgery. We report a case of persistent bile leak following the procedure despite endoscopic and radiological management. A female patient presented to the hepatopancreatobiliary unit of the Bahria International Hospital (Orchard), Lahore, with complaint of persistent bile leakage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed elsewhere. She had been investigated in various hospitals but the cause of the persistent bile leak remained a mystery and she was offered surgery. After real time fluoroscopic contrast enhanced imaging, further confirmed by a Computerised Tomography (CT) Scan of the abdomen, it was revealed that the persistent bile leak in the drain was due to iatrogenic injury of the duodenum secondary to percutaneous catheter insertion. The patient was managed non-surgically.

Comparison of marginal accuracy in two different materials used in provisional crown & bridge – an in vitro experimental study
Authors: Javed Faizan , Arif Aysha , Raza Khan Farhan
Published: March 2023

Objective: To determine the difference in the marginal accuracy at buccal, lingual, mesial and distal margins of temporary crowns fabricated with bisacryl-based temporary crown material.
Method: The in-vitro, experimental, laboratory-based study was conducted at the Aga Khan University, Karachi, from September to December 2019, and comprised two bisacryl-based temporary crown material, Integrity and Protemp 4, which were used to fabricate a sample of 24 temporary crowns. A pre-operative polyvinyl siloxane impression served as a template for temporary crown fabrication. A right mandibular molar tooth on a typodont was prepared to receive a crown. The provisional crown material was syringed onto the template and was allowed to cure. All four surfaces of the crown were observed under a stereomicroscope equipped with digital single-lens reflex camera at 25.6x magnification. An image of each surface was captured and a photographic record was maintained. An image processing software was used for the measurement of marginal discrepancy. Marginal accuracy among the four surfaces was assessed. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.
Results: Mean marginal discrepancy for provisional crowns fabricated with Protemp 4 and Integrity was 410±222um and 319±176um, respectively. The marginal discrepancy between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.027), with buccal margin exhibiting the most discrepancy (p<0.01).
Conclusions: Integrity showed less microleakage than Protemp 4. Among all the walls, the buccal wall showed the most microleakage. Marginal accuracy was found to be dependent upon the type of provisional crown material and the side of the prepared axial wall.

Presentation and management of hypoparathyroidism in a paediatric patient - a case report
Authors: Ateeque Kanza , Fatima Warisha , Rehman Iqra , Jamal Maira
Published: March 2023

Hypoparathyroidism occurs due to insufficient parathyroid gland activity leading to abnormal calcium and phosphate levels. The presentation of hypoparathyroidism is rare in adults and mostly encountered in the paediatric population. We present a case of a 3.5-month-old male infant with the presenting complaint of an episode of afebrile generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Haematological, urinary, cerebro-spinal fluid and radiological investigations were unremarkable but a biochemical profile revealed hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia and lowered vitamin D3 levels. Parathyroid hormone profile showed a decreased level, confirming diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism. Intravenous administration of calcium and magnesium in combination with oral activated vitamin D3 and phosphate binders managed to resolve symptoms and maintain normal levels. The rationale of this case is to confirm the necessity of early diagnosis to prevent irreversible sequelae of hypocalcaemia and regular monitoring of treatment to avoid side-effects of medication.

Light at night-A new challenge to cardiovascular health
Authors: Memon Midori , Ali Khadija
Published: March 2023

Respected Madam,
As Pakistan progresses to its potential in terms of economic growth and infrastructure, the light pollution in our country has increased more than ever. According to the data, from 2012-2013 to 2018-2019, there has been a 23.4% increase in light pollution in Lahore.1 Light intensity continues to increase, especially at night, with many falling asleep with the lights or the television on. The concerning fact about this is that emerging studies suggest that glowing at night during sleep harms cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular diseases are the second leading cause of death in Pakistan, and this new addition to the risk factors is very alarming.2
In a recent 2022 study by Minjee et al, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were found to be associated with light at night(LAN) during sleep in older age.3 The LAN group was significantly more likely to have obesity (41% vs 27%), diabetes (18% vs. 9.8%), and hypertension (73% vs 59%) compared to the No-LAN group.3 Furthermore, in a 2019 study by Yong-Moon et al, it was found that women having any artificial light at night exposure while sleeping was positively associated with a higher prevalence of obesity at baseline.4
As the usage of electronics and artificial light at night becomes more common, we must be well informed about the potential side effects they can bring to our well-being, especially in Pakistan, where we are already overburdened with cardiovascular disease. Proper awareness must be given to our population, and more studies should be done in our country so that it can be catered to our demographics. Since light pollution is an unavoidable consequence of economic development, we must find ways to limit its intensity at night individually and as a society. The sooner we act on the risk factor, the more we can prevent cardiovascular disease incidence from progressing.

This research a normative juridical approach because it uses secondary data as the main data source, which is also based on law No.18 of 2003 and sources of islamic law, namely the koran, hadith, and also the opinions of the scholars. There is also secondary legal material in the form of references to several books and also some existing journals. The rosults of this study are regarding how the legality of the perspective of islamic law advocates is that and islam there is no word advocate. But if we look at its function, jurists equate the position of an advocate in islam with a provider of legal aid services, sech as: hakam, mufti, mushalih. The theree legal aid providers are almost the same function as an advocate, namely law enforcement agencies outside the government whose job is to provide legal aidservices to the public. It is also said that before a case is submitted to the judicial process, the parties to the dispute are obliged to seek legal experts to give their ijtihad. So the legality of the advocate itself in islam also axists, it’s just that in islam thet don’t recognize the word advocate.

Association between Social Media Usage and Depression among Teenagers in Unites States of America
Authors: Muller Henry
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study sought to investigate association between social media usage and depression among teenagers in Unites States of America.

Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Results: The study found that there has been a rapid growth in social media among teenagers in the states. University students are the highest users of internet in the country. Consuming social media at a higher rate was found to bring about   negative consequences on the individuals. These include problematic social relationships, poor academic performance and psychological disturbance. Based on the findings, it was concluded that there was need to identify and help the affected teenagers exercise moderation and self-control when using social media platform in order for them to achieve their lifetime goals.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and The Albert Ellis' Cognitive Theory of Depression may be used to anchor future studies. There is need to organize seminars and conferences in the colleges with students to highlight the possible dangers of excessive social media usage and the measures that can be taken to mitigate the problem. There is need to regulate the nonacademic content that can be accessed through college computer labs like pornography and other non-educational material.
From Diversity to Inclusion: Centring the Voices of Undergraduate Engineering Students
Authors: Hanson Cori
Published: March 2023

Some Canadian undergraduate engineering programs report 30–40% of enrolled students are women. Kanter’s tipping point theory argues that women become less tokenized when they make up 30% of a group’s population. Other scholars have found that in comparable situations, women continued to experience discrimination, hostility, and competition. This critical study provides further evidence against a tipping point for equity by centring the experiences of traditionally underrepresented undergraduate students studying at a faculty of engineering with 35% women undergraduates enrolled. Reflective thematic analysis of experiences shared bywomen, racialized students, 2SLGBTQ+ students, and students from lower socio-economic statuses found instances of discrimination, varying perceptions of capabilities, and inequitable access to support, community, and on-campus leadership roles. Therefore, institutions need to acknowledge the intersectional experiences of students and work toward changing campus culture in addition to diversity efforts.

DRBAC-Healthchain (DRBAC-HC): Decentralized Role Based Access Control Framework For Achieving Security And Privacy Using Blockchain In Healthcare System
Authors: Avani Dadhania , Dr.Hiren Patel
Published: March 2023

With the Internet of Things' (IoTs) rapid expansion, effect, and potential, the healthcare industry is shifting to a new paradigm that permits wearable devices to collect patient medical data and use it for monitoring and diagnosis. Tamper-proof data and avoidance of the centralized record-keeping mechanism are crucial requirements in any wellness system due to its exigent and precise necessity of data requests. Along with the same, transactions’ auditability and revocation of access rights upon certain records for specific stakeholders are also a few of the other prerequisites in the medical segment. Blockchain, as a distributed ledger, offers a solution for securely storing data while providing transparency in transactions and interactions among stakeholders. Synchronous interaction among patient, doctor, pharmacy, consultant, hospital, etc. with all possible data security is another concern that could be resolved through the usage of Blockchain’s smart contracts wherein interaction among these stakeholders is permitted in a traceable and irreversible mode. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the potential use of Blockchain technology in the healthcare sector to achieve data security, transparency, and reliability without the involvement of a trusted third party. In terms of security and privacy, we survey and provide an exhaustive review of Blockchain-based access control systems for the healthcare system. In addition, for the healthcare system, we propose and implemented a decentralized role-based access control model based on Ethereum smart contract.

Authors: Araujo Alexandro Moura , Spanhol Finocchio Caroline Pauletto , Brun Handerson Molin , Maschio Hélio Augusto
Published: March 2023

O surgimento do Covid-19 mudou significativamente as notícias veiculadas nas mídias tradicionais e na web. Preocupações como cozinhar em casa ou pedir alimentos por aplicativo (apps), saúde, realizar compras pelo ­e-commerce ou trabalhar em casa, passaram a fazer parte do cotidiano das famílias. A falta de alguns itens, filas e restrições nos supermercados, e as disputas externas por itens alimentícios também foram noticiados. Nessa perspectiva, buscou-se analisar as implicações iniciais da pandemia no agronegócio, por meio das notícias numa mídia brasileira. Para isso, realizou-se a coleta de reportagens sobre o agronegócio e o Covid-19 datados no início da pandemia, no portal do Jornal Folha de São Paulo (FSP), na internet. Foram obtidas 184 notícias, cujo conteúdo foi analisado com auxílio do software QDA Miner. Observou-se que os principais tópicos tratados nas publicações da FSP, nesse período inicial da pandemia, estavam relacionados ao mercado externo, a pobreza e ao preço dos alimentos.
Abstract: The emergence of Covid-19 has significantly changed the news broadcast in traditional media and on the web. Concerns such as cooking at home or ordering food through apps, health, shopping on e-commerce, or working from home became part of everyday life for families. Shortages of some items, queues and restrictions at supermarkets, and outside disputes over food items were also reported. From this perspective, we sought to analyze the initial implications of the pandemic on agribusiness through the news in a Brazilian media outlet. To this end, the collection of news reports on agribusiness and Covid-19 dating from the beginning of the pandemic was carried out in the internet portal of the newspaper Folha de São Paulo (FSP). We obtained 184 news reports, whose content was analyzed with the help of the QDA Miner software.

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o preço do tomate de mesa praticado no atacado e qual sua influência na alocação da terra destinada para o seu cultivo no estado de Goiás, conforme preconiza a Lei de Oferta, bem como apresenta aspectos gerais sobre a cadeia produtiva do tomate de mesa. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualiquantitativa, por meio de levantamento bibliográfico, sobre a área destinada à tomaticultura e sobre o preço praticado no atacado, compreendendo o período de 2008 a 2017. Por meio da construção de uma regressão linear entre as variáveis analisadas, percebeu-se que a alocação da terra tem, no curto prazo, uma relação negativa com a variável preço no atacado, não identificando relação com a Lei da Oferta. Portanto, a conclusão do estudo é de que o recurso terra é alocado segundo racionalidades de outros fatores, tais como o modelo de expectativas racionais, custos de transação e riscos dos fatores, dentre outros.
Abstract: This research aims to present general aspects about the productive chain of fresh tomatoes in the state of Goiás. More specifically, the goal is to analyse the price of this product in the wholesale market, as well as its influence on the allocation of land for cultivation in the state of Goiás, as it is stated by the Law of Supply. A bibliographical survey was made focusing on the land used for tomato growing and on wholesale prices of the product, in the period from 2008 to 2017. Through a linear regression between the variables analysed, it was noted that the allocation of land has, in the short term, a significant negative relationship with the variable wholesale price, not identifying any relationship with the Law of Supply. Thus, the study’s conclusion is that the land resource is allocated according to rationales of other factors, such as the rational expectations model, transaction costs, risk factors, among others.

Two years of the COVID-19 pandemic in the population of Czech patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with biological therapy – experience of the tertiary IBD center
Authors: Černá Karin , Lukáš Milan
Published: March 2023

Summary: Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be associated with a more severe course of infections and a different response to vaccination, especially in complicated IBD course and in association with immune-modifying IBD treatment. The aim of this study was to describe COVID-19 pandemic during years 2020–2022 in IBD patients with long-term bio­logical therapy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection incidence in the population of 1,177 IBD (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) patients with long-term bio­logical therapy (IBD cohort) was performed. The incidence rate, crude incidence rate and standardized incidence ratio of COVID-19 in the IBD cohort, the odds ratio of infection depending on the type of bio­logic therapy administered, the dynamics of COVID-19 incidence depending on the predominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in the population and the current vaccination coverage of the IBD cohort were calculated. Results: From January 2020 to April 2022, 548 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (46.6%) were reported in the IBD cohort, with 39% share of PCR positivity in vaccinated individuals and with 95% occurrence of infection in unvaccinated part of the IBD cohort. Standardized incidence rate ratio of COVID-19 was 27% higher in the IBD cohort compared to the general Czech population. The dynamics of the development of the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in the IBD cohort was identical to the situation in the entire country. A higher odds ratio of the chances of infection was demonstrated in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, but not in patients treated with anti-integrins or monoclonal antibodies against interleukins. In the IBD cohort, 85.2% of patients were properly vaccinated, which was significantly more than the vaccination rate of the entire Czech population. Discussion and conclusion: During the two pandemic years, the incidence of COVID-19 in patients with severe IBD and long-term bio­logical treatment was higher compared to the general Czech population, despite the favorable vaccination coverage of this high-risk patients’ group. A higher risk was associated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitor therapy. Key words: inflammatory bowel disease – Crohn’s disease – ulcerative colitis – COVID-19 – SARS-CoV-2 – vaccination – bio­logical therapy

Authors: Štěpánová Jarmila , Raisová Kateřina , Pliska Petr
Published: March 2023

Summary: Background: People with spinal cord injury in the chronic stage of disability have several permanent health problems that get worse during aging. Among them, there are gastrointestinal complications, which have a significant negative impact on their quality of life. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the period since the incidence of the injury, level of spinal cord injury and Body Mass Index on the level of bowel dysfunction and on the quality of life of chronic patients. Method: Proceeding from a questionnaire-based survey, 42 adults with complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries completed the standardized questionnaire Neurogenic bowel dysfunction score (NBD Score), the standardized questionnaire Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Quality of Life survey (IBS-QOL) and non-standardized Czech version questionnaire Burwood Questionnaire. Results: A statistically significant positive linear correlation was evaluated between the period of time since the incidence of the injury and NBD score. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.6 (P = 0.02). However, there was no statistically significant linear correlation between the period of time since the incidence of the injury and value of IBS-QOL (–0.47; P = 0.47). Neither was there any statistically significant positive linear correlation with the variables the level of spinal cord injury and Body Mass Index. What most decrease the quality of life of disabled patients with gastrointestinal complications are concerns for their own health, depressive feelings, and diet routines. Conclusion: All medical staff should not neglect the need of dia­gnostic and therapy of the gastrointestinal problems in the aging subpopulation of people with spinal cord injury.

Geleneksel Konut Mimarisinde İklim ve Topoğrafyaya Bağlı Farklılıkların Erzurum İli Kuzey İlçeleri Üzerinden Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: ÖNAL Raziye Çiğdem
Published: March 2023

İklim ve arazi yapısı, Anadolu’da konut mimarisini belirleyen önemli etkenler arasındadır. Bölgeler arasındaki ana iklim farklılıklarının yanı sıra Anadolu’da ki illerin ilçeleri arasında bile farklılıklar mevcuttur. Bu duruma güzel bir örnek olan Erzurum’un merkezinde, güney, doğu ve batı ilçelerinde ova özelliğine sahip arazi bol, iklim ise karasaldır. Fakat Doğu Karadeniz illeri ile komşu olan kuzey ilçeleri (Pazaryolu, İspir, Uzundere, Oltu ve Olur) iklim ve topoğrafya noktasında şehir merkezi ve diğer ilçelerden ayrılmaktadır. Karadeniz Bölgesi gibi dik yamaçların olduğu eğimli araziye sahip olan bu ilçelerde iklim, daha ılıman etkiye sahiptir ve Karasal ile Karadeniz İklimi arasındaki geçiş sahasındadır. Bu özellikleri sebebiyle araştırmanın konusu olan ilçelerde bulunan konutlar özelinde iklimin ve arazi yapısının ihtiyaçları ne oranda belirlediği, ihtiyaçların mimariyi ne şekilde yönlendirdiği ve kültürler arası etkileşimin tasarımları nasıl şekillendirdiğine yönelik sorulara yanıt aranmıştır. Öncelikle bu ilçelerde bulunan doğa farklılığının halkın geçim kaynağı ve yaşam şartlarını değiştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Geçimini tarım ürünleri yetiştiriciliği ve bu ürünlerden elde edilen mahsullerin geliri ile sağlayan bölge halkının, yaşadığı konutunu da buna göre şekillendirdiği; ürünlerinin kurutulması ve saklanması yönünde kalıcı çözümler ürettiği, araziden en fazla verimi alacak şekilde planlamaya gittiği belirlenmiştir. Evlerin mekân organizasyonlarına bakıldığında Erzurum merkezinde ve diğer ilçelerde bulunan konutların plan kurgusunda etkili olan anıtsal tandır evlerinin kuzey ilçelerde ihtiyaca yönelik olarak çoğunlukla basit düzende ve minimal ölçülerde yapıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca hane halkının ekonomik şartlarına bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösteren müştemilat birimlerinin belirli bir tasarım aranmaksızın mimariye kazandırıldığı saptanmıştır. Evlerin konumlandırılmasında manzaranın gözetildiği, yapı malzemesinin temininde doğal bitki örtüsünün imkânlarından faydalanıldığı ve yapım tekniklerinde yöresel özelliklerin ön plana çıktığı dikkati çeken diğer ayrıntılar arasındadır. Erzurum’un diğer yerleşim yerleri ile kuzey ilçelerindeki konutlar arasında görülen bu farklılıklar, Doğu Karadeniz evleri ile olan benzerlikleridir. Bu da tıpkı iklim ve bitki örtüsünde olduğu gibi mimari birikimin şekillenmesinde de Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi ile olan etkileşimin daha etkin olduğunu göstermektedir.
21st most needed skills, mediation and disputes resolution skills and legal training
Authors: De Morais Sales Lília Maia , Vasconcelos Lima Gabriela

The Justice System in Brazil struggles with a large stock of lawsuits. Despite the work of magistrates, lawsuits come in faster than they are solved. On the other hand, Law Schools focus on training lawyers to keep litigating. This research aims to understand how legal culture could be reoriented in such a manner that we could build a fairer and more peaceful society. In order to do that, first we analyze the current context of the Justice System, taking a deep look at its data. Then, as we realized that most of the disputes in adjudication currently could be more appropriately solved by ADR, we turned our eyes to how ADR tools and techniques can be used. Lastly, since we aim to achieve results on legal training, we study the skills needed to succeed on the job market. In conclusion, we found that Law Schools should focus on mediation and negotiation training and collaborative and strategic conflict resolution skills throughout the curriculum. If lawyers are trained strongly with skills to build consensus, to collaborate when solving conflicts, to negotiate and mediate, they will be able to design or help to design more adequate and customized solutions for the various disputes, contributing for a more peaceful society, a more efficient Justice System, while becoming a more competitive professional for the labor market.

Published: March 2023

Objective: To evaluate if the COVID-19 vaccine produces changes in the menstrual pattern, type of change and dysmenorrhea. Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study. 6616 digital surveys were carried out on women who received a vaccine against COVID-19. A survey was applied via networks and in gynecological consultations. Percentages and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated from 2x2 tables, menstrual changes were analyzed in the sample and in subgroups according to type of vaccine, number of doses, age, and residence. Results: 86.5 % (3535/4087) reported menstrual changes, the most frequent being: menstrual delay (40.4 %) and heavier menstrual bleeding (37.7 %). Dysmenorrhea presented in 39 % accompanying menstrual changes, but 2.1 % as the only symptom. A statistically significant difference was observed: 1) more menstrual changes with mechanism of action chimpanzee viral vector when compared to inactivated virus, 2) human viral vector and inactivated virus more menstrual changes 18-34 years compared to 35-50 years and less changes when compared to chimpanzee viral vector in 35-50 years 3) mRNA was the least associated with menstrual absence when compared to human viral vector 53 % and chimpanzee 50 % more frequent. Conclusion: Menstrual changes are very common after vaccination against COVID-19, this being related to the type of vaccine administered. Some mechanisms of action seem to be related to a greater or lesser risk of specific menstrual changes.
