Published: December 2020

Background: Coronary heart disease is the most common indication among cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and a major cause of mortality and morbidity. According to global burden of disease study estimates, nearly 24.8% of all deaths in India are attributable to CVD. Objectives of the current research study were to establish a correlation between varied risk factors and coronary artery disease (CAD), to determine angiographic characteristics individually in patients with multiple risk factors and to evaluate number of vessels involved in CAD.Methods: Present study was a prospective study conducted on 50 patients with acute coronary syndrome below 40 yrs of age admitted at the department of cardiology, Superspeciality hospital, NSCB medical college, Jabalpur. All patients included in the study were subjected to coronary angiography. The angiographic characteristics such as extent of CAD (characterized by the number of vessels with angiographic lesions) were determined.Results: Current study findings depicted that most of CAD patients were in age group of 36-40 years. Proportion of males was higher than females. One-fifth of patients were diabetics and 34.0% were hypertensive. It was observed that 54.0% CAD patients had history of smoking and 32.0% had history of premature CAD. Most of patients exhibited single vessel disease in CAG and left anterior descending (LAD) was the most commonly involved artery.Conclusions: Smoking was concluded as one of the major risk factor associated with CAD and most of patients exhibited single vessel disease, LAD being the most commonly involved artery. Significant number of patients with family history depicted high risk for CAD. Males were concluded to be more prone to CAD at younger age.

Authors: K. Divya Krishnan , K. P. Shyna , K. V. Urmila , K. V. Anand
Published: December 2020

Background: Childhood obesity is a serious problem worldwide. Body mass index (BMI) has been the widely used tool to detect obesity. Central adiposity detected by waist indices is a better predictor of obesity related complications like metabolic syndrome. Objective of this study was to analyze the correlation of waist indices with BMI as indicators of overweight (OW)/obesity in school going children.Methods: This study was done in 880 adolescents from two schools in Kerala. Anthropometric measurements including waist circumference (WC) were taken according to guidelines and BMI, waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio (WHtR) calculated. We categorized children as normal, OW/obese according to BMI charts by centers for disease control and prevention (CDC). A cutoff 70th centile in WC charts by Khadilkar et al, WHR of more than 0.85 in girls and 0.9 in boys, WHtR >0.5 were taken as central obesity.Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity (BMI >85th centile) was estimated to be 26.3%. Prevalence of central obesity was 12.3% when measured by WC, 22.8% measured by WHR, 14.8% measured by WHtR. All three waist indices showed statistically significant correlation with OW/obesity and BMI (p<0.001). Multivariate regression showed association of OW/obesity with urban school, acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, WHtR (p<0.001) and with WC (p=0.004).Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is alarmingly high in adolescent children.  Waist height ratio was best correlated with Body mass index and overweight/obesity, followed by Waist circumference. We recommend waist height ratio as a screening tool to predict obesity in school going children.

Published: December 2020

Background: The diagnosis and management of anemia largely depends on clinical assessment for pallor. Objective was to evaluate the usefulness of clinical pallor to detect anemia, to correlate pallor with grades and etiology of anemia.  Methods: This case control study included 300 children in the age group of 6months to 5years. Pallor was assessed in four sites conjunctiva, tongue, nailbed and palm. Children with pallor at any one site were taken as study group (n=150) and without pallor at all 4 sites as controls (n=150). Hemoglobin estimation and other relevant investigations were done. Anemia was diagnosed according to WHO criterion (Hb<11 g/dl in 6 months-5 years) and graded as mild, moderate and severe.Results: Both groups were comparable in characteristics of age and gender (p value>0.05). In pallor group, 119 had anemia, whereas non pallor control group had 45 anemics. Sensitivity and specificity of pallor for anemia detection were 72.6% and 77.2% respectively. Maximum sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were found for palmar pallor. Tongue turned out to be least sensitive for identifying pallor. All the four sites were found to have statistically significant correlation in identifying mild, moderate and severe grades of anemia. Among causes of anemia; iron deficiency anemia was the etiology in 81.1% of cases. Pallor at each site showed no statistically significant correlation with etiology.Conclusions:Pallor is useful in detecting anemia. Multiple site examination is suggested as its increases the sensitivity. No positive correlation observed between pallor and its etiology.

Authors: Uppara Sreenivasulu , Narayanaswamy Bhagyamma Sollapurappa , Venkata Rama Kishore Akula , Ramanna Thanuja , B.R Shyam Prasad
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND The multi-organ disorder, diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to be one of the commonest and challenging health-related problems in the 20th century, prevalent in about 9.3 % of the world's population in 2019 and likely to affect 10.2 % by 2030. Diabetes mellitus is a group of chronic metabolic disorders of multiple aetiology, characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia due to derangement in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Electrolytes are crucial in maintaining various metabolic functions and play a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy state's body. Diabetic patients are more prone to and frequently develop a constellation of electrolyte disorders due to hyperglycaemia, polydipsia and polyuria. METHODS Our study comprised a total of 70 subjects in the age group of 35 - 60 years with age and sex-matched controls. They were grouped into two groups; the first group, group-1 (healthy controls) and the second group was group-2 (patients of diabetes mellitus on oral hypoglycaemic agents with poor control). 5 ml of fasting venous blood was collected in a plain vacutainer tube in the morning after a zerocalorie overnight 08 hours fast. Post collection, the blood sample was used as serum or plasma or whole blood to estimate plasma glucose, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum sodium, serum potassium, serum chloride by kit methods using an auto analyser. RESULTS Among the various parameters tested, the mean value of fasting plasma glucose, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum potassium, serum chloride were higher in group-2 (diabetic patients) compared to group-1 (healthy controls) with a p-value of < 0.0001. The value of the mean of serum sodium was lower in group-2 (diabetes mellitus) compared to group-1 (healthy controls) with a p-value of < 0.0001. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that electrolyte abnormalities are present in diabetic patients and maybe a root cause for associated morbidity or mortality. These disturbances are generally seen in decompensated Diabetes Mellitus patients, elderly individuals and in the presence of renal impairment. KEYWORDS Diabetes Mellitus, Serum Electrolytes, Fasting Blood Glucose
Diagnostic Utility of Procalcitonin and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Bacterial Septicaemia - A Retrospective Case Control Study from a Tertiary Care Institute
Authors: Shenoy Mamatha T. , Alexander Hariharan , Manavalan Jeyakumar , K Suganthy , Mohanty Pradipta Kumar
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Sepsis is a frequently encountered critical care problem wherein great emphasis is laid on early and accurate diagnosis of the infective organism. Blood culture though precise, is time consuming. Empiric antibiotic therapy leads to development of antibiotic resistance amongst organisms. Thus, there is a need for a biomarker that is cost effective, simple and rapid to perform. Procalcitonin elevates in response to chemical mediators produced due to bacteraemia within 2 - 4 hours and serves as an early marker. Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio is available universally and is highly cost-effective. We wanted to assess the utility of Procalcitonin (PCT) and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in detecting the bloodstream infections and determine their usefulness in establishing the nature of infective organisms. METHODS A retrospective case control study was undertaken from January 2018 to December 2018 in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Patients tested for serum PCT, complete blood count and blood culture simultaneously prior to antibiotic therapy were included in the study (n = 288). The study cohort was classified into two groups. Group I, controls (n = 155) and group II, cases (n = 133). Out of 133 patients, 73 % (98) were infected by Gramnegative bacteria and 27 % (35) by Gram-positive bacteria. Data was analysed using SPSS V.16 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Students unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for intergroup comparisons of continuous variables. p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Cut off for detecting bacteriemia and gram negative bacteriemia was created using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The area under ROC of PCT to detect gram negative bacteraemia was 0.752 (95 % CI = 0.692 – 0.812). CONCLUSIONS Escherichia coli was the most frequent cause of sepsis. Higher levels of PCT and NLR were associated with gram negative organisms. PCT levels can help in determining the cause of infection. NLR and PCT are able to establish the presence of bacteraemia in a short span of time, thus alleviating the over dependence on blood culture reporting. Such earlier decision-making tools help in reducing empirical antibiotic usage and thereby lessen the burden of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. KEYWORDS Procalcitonin, PCT, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio, NLR, Gram Negative Bacteria, Sepsis, Biomarker

Authors: Al-Arasi Sarah Mahmoud , Ayd Alhuayan Khalid Rbye
Published: December 2020

Purpose: According to the importance of the refugee issue and refugee rights and since that Hashimte Kingdom of Jordan did not join the 1951 convention of refugees status and its 1967 protocol and managed to sign the memorandum of understanding instead with UNHCR, this study aimed to tackle the issue of refugees rights and duties between reality and implementation in Jordan.

Methodology: This study adopted the descriptive, analytical, and comparative methodology of international and regional conventions, in addition to the comparison between the Jordanian legislation and the Memorandum of Understanding on Refugees with the provisions of international law. Also, it utilized the empirical method by conducting a field study.

Main Findings: Results gained from the questionnaire concluded the refugees on Jordanian territory got rights more than what was stipulated on in the memorandum of understanding signed between the Jordan government and the United Nations high commissioner for refugees’ affairs (UNHCR). It also found out that the majority of refugees committed to their responsibilities in maintaining general security and order.

Implications/Applications: This study has addressed the implications of the memorandum of understanding signed between the Jordan government and the United Nations high commissioner for refugees' affairs (UNHCR) by its analysis and application on a random sample of 150 refugees in Jordan, including Syrians in the biggest refugee camp in Jordan; Al- Zaatari refugee camp, in addition to the implications of the memorandum on Iraqi and Yemeni refugees in Jordan.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study was based on the memorandum of understanding between Jordan and (UNHCR) that was signed in the background of the refugee crisis that our countries witnessed. However, this study was the first to analyze the articles of the memorandum of understanding mentioned above and was backed up with a field study on a random sample of 150 Syrian refugees in Jordan refugees’ camps.

Estimulado pelo surgimento de dispositivos portáteis e acessíveis como smartphones equipados com câmeras digitais, o sujeito da contemporaneidade acessa e cria conteúdos de maneira autônoma, motivado, à princípio, pela maleabilidade e instantaneidade desses novos aparatos tecnológicos. Visto que os antigos modos de se criar produtos midiáticos priorizavam apenas retratar padrões tradicionalistas e invisibilizavam a existência da transgeneridade ou do transativismo, surge um movimento independente, dentro das redes sociais, que através de imagens e textos, vai legitimar a presença transgênero no convívio social. Esse estudo objetivou traçar um panorama da quantidade de perfis que atualmente abordam tais questões, dentro do Instagram, e que encontram-se produzindo para este público específico. Através do uso da Netnografia, a pesquisa resultou na observação de duas personalidades de relevância na plataforma, e a partir deste recorte, constatou-se que a necessidade de ocupação desses espaços on-line reside no desejo de inspirar seus seguidores a assumirem suas identidades de gênero e lutarem por sobrevivência também fora da Internet.

THE FUNCTIONS AND SYMBOLISM OF CHINESE MINARETS: A CASE STUDY OF THE HUAISHENG GUANGTA
Authors: Hagras Hamada Muhammed
Published: December 2020

The Huisheng mosque in Guangzhou is one of China's oldest mosques; its initial construction dates back to 627. The minaret of the mosque is one of the surviving earliest examples of Islamic architecture in China. The Chinese minarets were built with a form of a wooden low-rise Chinese pavilion. In the case of Guangta, it was built by brick directly on the street with such a great height. The unique architectural form of Guangta raises many questions about its location, architecture, and function. The study traces the historical texts of the minaret to clarify its historical functions. It attempts to understand the minaret's meanings, the hidden symbolism, and its historical roles to serve the Muslim community as a religious minority in the city, on the one hand, as well as its cultural contributions on the other hand. There are several methods to achieve its objectives: the historical, the descriptive, and the comparative analytical approach. These approaches proved that the minaret played many roles associated with its form and architecture. In addition to its religious functions, it is entrusted to inform Muslims at prayer times. The minaret was also used as a control tower if the Muslim community in the city was exposed to external or internal threats and served as a lighthouse to facilitate Muslim maritime trade. Further, it carried a religious symbolism as it was a symbol of Islam itself within the local Chinese society that was not ruled by Muslims.

RETHINKING HEIDEGGER'S DWELLING THROUGH ARABIC LINGUISTICS
Authors: El Moussaoui Mustapha Hashem
Published: December 2020

Inhabiting a space or dwelling has been a debatable terminology in architectural theory practice. Martin Heidegger's conference paper "Building dwelling thinking" is a major philosophical work that influenced architects in the 20th century. The philosopher interpreted the word as an etymological archaeologist, working on the word's essential meaning until he related it to, Being-in-this-world and Being-towards-death. In this research, we examine the term "dwelling" through the Arabic parables "Maskan" and "Manzel" to reach a more comprehensive understanding that will unveil its essential meaning in its local cultural context. Moreover, we base our research on a survey answered in Lebanon, on the meaning of the word Maskan in its contemporary form, while linking it to Heidegger's etymological findings. Our results explicitly an Arabic term used that describes a different phenomenon in other cultures.

Los resultados han permitido identificar tres etapas en el paso a la virtualización: aseguramiento, reordenamiento e implementación; definir la modalidad de estudios implementada como una educación presencial con mediación virtual; y constatar un alto grado de satisfacción de estudiantes y docentes. Los resultados permiten avanzar hacia el desarrollo de un modelo de educación presencial con mediación virtual como alternativa para la virtualización de los procesos educativos en la educación superior.

The second language can be defined as any other language which is learned or acquired after their first language or their mother tongue. Learning or acquiring a second language can be a difficult task for anybody that wishes to speak or write in a language other than their first language. Teachers should have the basic knowledge of second language acquisition theories to provide a comprehensive teaching and learning environment to students. One of the most applied and well-accepted theories is Stephen’s Krashen’s theory of second language acquisition. The present study was carried out as an observation on students to address the importance of Krashen’s Monitor Model and the Natural Approach in the stages of second language development to ensure effective teaching of the second language. The findings show that the cause of the input factor should be taken into consideration when teaching a second language/foreign language. The findings also indicated that cooperative learning can be a good method for students to get comprehensible input from their classmates.
Da natureza à arte
Authors: Piteira Susana
Published: December 2020

A natureza e a matéria dela extraída potenciaram a imaginação formal e a imaginação material do homem. Estas duas entidades fundacionais da acção artística conduzem àquilo a que se pode chamar uma poética da criação (Bachelard, 1942). Dele decorrem em boa parte, os conceitos de paisagem e a história da sua metamorfose. Ou, se quisermos, o problema constante do artifício versus a natureza. Ou, ainda, o problema de dar forma a um corpo ou, de como a imagem da sua representação se priorizou relativamente a ele, na cultura actual e, na arte em particular. O tacto, conseguido pela materialidade da escultura é o que permite a esta distinguir-se da imaterialidade da cultura actual, oferecendo-nos um porto de abrigo face à indiscernibilidade do mundo virtual. Neste contexto e através do meu trabalho escultórico, verificar-se-á como a problemática da Paisagem em Metamorfose: Declínio e Reedificação do Natural na Arte actual se inscreve nas questões em cima enunciadas.
