Aim      To compare results of clinical, laboratory, and genetic examination of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FHC).

Material and methods  112 patients aged 40.2±17.9 years (49 men) were examined. The gene of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) was analyzed and evaluated using the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) criterion of lipid score ≥6. The LDLR gene mutation was searched for using the conformational polymorphism analysis followed by sequencing of the DNA of isolated LDLR gene exons.

Results Mean variables of the blood lipid profile were total cholesterol (C), 10.12±2.32 mmol/l, LDL-C, 7.72±2.3 mmol/l. Corneal arcus was observed in 15 % of patients, tendon xanthomas in 31.8 %, and xanthelasma palpebrarum in 5.3 %. The types of LDLR gene mutations included missense mutations (42.8 %), mutations causing a premature termination of protein synthesis (41.1 %), and frameshift mutations (16.1 %). In the presence of a mutation in exon 4, patients with IHD compared to patients with no IHD had significantly higher levels of total C (10.88±2.08 mmol/l vs. 8.74±1.57 mmol/l, respectively, р=0.001) and LDL-C (8.60±2.14 mmol/l vs. 6.62±1.79 mmol/l, respectively, р=0.005). Patients with IHD compared to patients with no IHD and a mutation in LDLR gene exon 9 had only a higher LDL-C level (8.96±1.53 mmol/l vs. 6.92±1.59 mmol/l, respectively, р=0.022). A differentiated comparison of IHD patients using a logistic regression depending on the identified type of LDLR gene mutation produced formulas for calculating the odds ratio of IHD and myocardial infarction (MI) with adjustments for the patient’s age and baseline LDL.

Conclusion      The detection rate of the LDLR gene mutations was 42.8 % for missense mutations, 41.1 % for mutations causing a premature termination of protein synthesis, and 16.1 % for frameshift mutations. Blood lipid profiles did not differ between patients from different cities and with different types of LDLR gene mutations. Blood lipid profiles were different in IHD patients depending on the mutation type.
Estatísticas Educacionais e Cor/Raça na Educação Infantil e no Ensino Fundamental: um balanço
Authors: Rosemberg Fúlvia
Published: December 2022

O artigo descreve e analisa a produção, divulgação e interpretação de estatísticas educacionais desagregadas por cor/raça. Efetua um balanço dos principais instrumentos de coleta de estatísticas educacionais sob responsabilidade das duas principais instituições de coleta de estatísticas educacionais: o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e o Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep). Nesta empreitada, destaca a recente introdução do quesito cor/raça no Censo Escolar de 2005, apontando equívocos tanto nos objetivos perseguidos quanto nos procedimentos adotados. O argumento principal é que o Censo Escolar não constitui instrumento compatível com a unidade de coleta aluno/matrícula, que as instruções para o preenchimento da informação foram confusas e desrespeitaram o direito de crianças e adolescentes de expressarem sua identidade étnico-racial.
Weaving in data knowledge about sustained shared thinking enhances early childhood education practice
Authors: Meade Anne , Kwan Meg
Published: December 2022

Weaving is a significant metaphor for kaiako in Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Whāriki is central to their professional lives. At Daisies Early Education and Care Centre (hereafter Daisies), the strands in Te Whāriki shape the curriculum and its principles guide pedagogy and relationships. In January 2019, the Daisies team decided to investigate how to weave more sustained shared thinking through our pedagogy. Daisies’ leaders obtained copies of the Assessing Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care, Sustained Shared Thinking and Emotional Well-being (SSTEW) Scale. A Teacher-Led Innovation Fund (TLIF) grant supported a trial of the scale tool as a professional learning and development (PLD) resource at Daisies and at Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano. Trial processes, PLD processes, and findings pertaining only to Daisies are described in this article.
Responding to the pandemic: Changing the assessments in early childhood practicum placements by strengthening voice and agency
Authors: Perry Jo , Probine Sarah
Published: December 2022

The 2020 COVID lockdown provoked the early childhood team at Manukau Institute of Technology to radically rethink how practicum was assessed. The usual approach of an “in-centre” observation followed by a triadic discussion was replaced by weekly “virtual” meetings and an online triadic. A reflective framework was developed to guide students to think about and articulate their understanding of the assessment of practice criteria. At the conclusion of the virtual practicums, a small qualitative research study was conducted with the aim of examining the impact of these changes. Thematic analysis of the online questionnaire sent to students, associate teachers, and visiting lecturers revealed many students had experienced deep learning, had developed personal confidence, and had taken greater ownership of their learning. These findings informed practicum assessment in the newly developed Bachelor of Education (early childhood teaching) programme.
Library Instruction for Graduate Nursing Students: A Scoping Review
Authors: Grabowsky Adelia , Spybey Katherine
Published: December 2022

Objective – The number of graduate nursing programs in the U.S. has increased significantly in recent years. This scoping review seeks to examine the range of literature discussing librarian instruction for graduate nursing students to identity the types of studies being published, the characteristics of instructional sessions, knowledge gaps which may exist, and the evidence available for a subsequent systematic review evaluating instructional effectiveness.
Methods – Guidelines established by the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews (PRISMA-Scr) were used to conduct this review. Concepts for library instruction and graduate nursing students were searched in six databases as well as Google Scholar. The two authors used titles/abstracts and when necessary, full-text to independently screen identified studies. Conflicting screening decisions were resolved by discussion.
Results – Data was extracted from 20 sources. Thirteen of the sources were descriptions of classes or programs, one was a program evaluation, two were mixed methods studies that looked at library use and program support respectively but did not assess instruction, two were surveys of students’ feelings and attitudes about instruction, and two were quasi-experimental studies which included pre-post instruction quizzes. The most popular format for library instruction was online (synchronous or asynchronous) instruction. Most sources did not include information about the timing or duration of instruction. In addition, most sources did not reference instructional theory although a few mentioned aspects of instructional theory such as active learning. Only one source mentioned using a specific model to develop instructional content. While several sources mentioned assessment of student learning, only four studies included the results of assessment.
Conclusions – Sources reporting on instruction for graduate nursing students consisted primarily of descriptions of programs or instructional sessions. Many of the descriptive studies lacked essential information such as specifics of format, timing, and duration which would aid replication at other institutions. Only four sources were research studies that evaluated instructional effectiveness.
Flexible Work Agreements: Here to Stay but Uneven in Equity and Promoting Success
Authors: Kaplan Samantha
Published: December 2022

A Review of:Hosoi, M., Reiter, L., & Zabel, D. (2021). Reshaping Perspectives on Flexible Work: The Impact of COVID-19 on Academic Library Management. portal: Libraries and the Academy 21(4), 695-713. doi:10.1353/pla.2021.0038
Objective – The article seeks to assess the current state and the future of flexible work agreements (FWAs) in research libraries.
Design – The authors held semi-structured interviews with 31 individuals in library leadership roles.
Setting – Large American or Canadian research libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subjects – 31 individuals in senior leadership roles (ex: associate dean, director) at the top 50 research libraries in North America (based on the Association of Research Libraries Investment Index).
Methods – Interviews were conducted and recorded over Zoom with participant, investigator, and note taker. Investigators developed a quantitative coding instrument based on a selection of the interviews, then coded all interviews independently. Coded data were evaluated for broader themes in a collaborative fashion.
Main Results – All participants had employees working partially or fully remotely at the time of the interviews. Half of participants observed gains in productivity during the pandemic, although even more commented on technology challenges. Other positives included remote project success and more inclusive meetings; other negatives included caregiving and job duties that did not allow for remote work.
Conclusion – While FWAs were widely available pre-pandemic, they were not normative. The majority of participants think flexible work will only increase in libraries and will influence recruitment and retention of employees, as well as utilization of library space.
On the question of a comfortable urban environment: Sociological aspects of development (Based on the case-study of Vladivostok сity)
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Panfilova Anna O.
Published: December 2022

The article contains the author’s generalization of the available research data for the purpose of sociological representation of the urban environment comfort and design tools for its development. The subject of the study is presented as a parameter of socio-spatial development and as a task, the importance of which is articulated at the state level and has its own regulatory, documentary and expert confirmation. The study used methods of content analysis and expert online interviewing of a semi-formalized type. The comfort parameter is shown through a number of target and instrumental components; the conditions for its development are highlighted. Expertly formulated important principles for the development of a comfortable urban environment are as follows: striving for a social balance of interests of the subjects involved; ensuring trust between them; development of the human potential of the city. Digitalization itself and the Smart City concept in particular are neutral tools; their nature and effectiveness depend on what tasks they solve, how they fit into the specifics of certain spaces. A number of related factors and implementation risks are formulated with reference to a specific case; its representativeness to the declared topic is shown. Possible directions for further efforts to address them are noted.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Kalinnikova Marina V. , Malinsky Igor G. ,   Saratov State University, Minin Aleksandr A. ,   Saratov State University
Published: December 2022

The article shows how Saratov State University, being a participant of the government educational program “Priority-2030”, works to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of Russian higher education in the international market of educational services. Using the example of foreign students – citizens of Turkmenistan, the difficulties encountered by foreign students -young Turkmen are studied. The empirical basis of the article presents the interviews with the 3rd year students from Turkmenistan at Saratov State University in 2021–2022. The choice of respondents was determined by the fact that Turkmenistan occupies the first place in terms of the number of students coming to Saratov State University for more than a year. Nine in-depth interviews were conducted. The recruitment of informants was carried out by the “snowball method”. Analyzing the difficulties Turkmenistan students experience upon entering educational environment of the SSU three key discourses were identified: educational and cognitive, socio-cultural, and psychophysiological. It is concluded that the main problem that a young Turkman faces when entering a university is financial difficulties, for example, a delay in transferring money from parents, not enough money received, and therefore the need for part-time work to ensure a living wage. This circumstance affects the attendance of classes and interferes with language training, obtaining professional knowledge. Another significant difficulty for Turkmen students is the lack of trusting communication and assistance from local group mates as well as in obtaining psychological support and assistance from the teaching staff.

Authors:   Institute of Sociology – Branch of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FCTAS RAS), Ivchenkova Maria S.
Published: December 2022

The article reveals the methodological and methodical features of the expert survey and its role in sociological research. The advantages and limitations of using the results of the experts survey as a multivariant complex process both from the methodological and methodical points of view of the research process were substantiated. The requirements for its organization and conduct, including the requirements for the competence of experts, are presented. It is shown that its advantages lie in the possibility of obtaining new reliable information, deep interpretation, explanation, forecasting of the phenomena and processes under study, development of practical recommendations from non-standard positions. Particular emphasis is placed on the problems and mistakes in the implementation of various types of expert survey in sociology. Today, this method helps to diagnose, model, design and predict the state of real objects and processes, including employee certification processes. Moreover, it can be used to assess the social consequences of the implementation of projects and recommendations and management decisions. This breadth of research functions contributes to the popularity and development of the method of expert surveys in sociology.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Shestov Nikolay I.
Published: December 2022

The challenges that domestic and foreign policy of the Russian state is facing today make it urgent to find the means by which it would be possible to direct the civic education of Russian youth, in general, and to instill in them respect for the traditional values of Russian statehood and public life, in particular, in a constructive way. The article analyzes problems, the unresolved nature of which makes the efforts of government institutions to define and legally consolidate the meaning of the very concept of “traditional values”, as well as concepts denoting specific values, insufficiently effective today.

Published: December 2022

The article discusses features of perception of the main directions of Russian state policy by regional youth based on the results of a sociological survey and focus groups conducted at the end of 2021 in the Saratov region. Based on the analysis of the received materials, the degree of interest of various age groups of young people in politics was revealed, and the specifics of the perception of the economic, social, cultural, youth, and defense policy of the Russian state were pinpointed. It is concluded that the dominance of oppositional sentiments among the youth is largely due to specific problems in various areas of public life in the region.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Kazakov Alexander A.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this article is to analyze the role of media support for the actions of the Russian authorities in shaping the attitude of young people to the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. The results of sociological surveys are analyzed regarding the level of interest and concern of young people about what is happening within the framework of the SMO, as well as their approval of the course towards a forceful solution to the conflict and the most preferable prospects for the further development of the situation. It is concluded that, compared with people of middle and older ages, young people are characterized by a more restrained attitude towards SMO. The most probable objective and situational reasons for such an attitude are indicated. Specific proposals have been formulated to optimize the information support of the SMO, designed for a youth audience.
The problem of ensuring spiritual and moral security in the programmatics of parliamentary political parties of the Russian Federation
Authors:   National Research Mordovia State University, Shirokova Ekaterina O.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of ensuring spiritual and moral security in the political programs of the parties included in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the eighth convocation. The analysis of program documents of political parties published on the official websites of political organizations and public authorities was carried out. The actual approaches of political parties to the problems of ensuring spiritual and moral security and the fundamental ways of their resolution are revealed. The conclusion is made about the lack of attention of political parties to the allocation of threats to the spiritual and moral security of Russia in program documents, as well as the presence of a tendency to reduce the interest of parties in the problems of the spiritual and moral development of Russian society. In an effort to attract more electorate, the programs are becoming more and more unified and populist, and the reduction in their content is achieved by compressing provisions on the need to ensure the spiritual and moral security of Russia.

Authors: ERGÜN Emine , OR KOCA Arzu , BEYAN Esin , ERTUĞRUL Derun Taner , AKKAN Tolga , DAL Kürşat
Published: December 2022

Objective: It was aimed to investigate irisin and chemerin levels in prediabetic individuals and their value in predicting prediabetes.

Method: Thirty-eight prediabetic patients aged 18-65 years (22 impaired fasting glucose (IFG), 10 impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), 6 patients with coexisting IFG and IGT) and thirty-five healthy volunteers were included in which was designed as a cross-sectional study. The basic demographic characteristics of all participants in the case and control groups were compared with the serum chemerin, irisin, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol), triglyceride (TG), free thyroxine (sT4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.

Result: Serum chemerin level was found to be higher in the prediabetic group (p=0.03), while no significant difference was found for the irisin level between the two groups. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, we showed that chemerin was an independent risk factor in predicting prediabetes. There was a positive correlation (p=0.01, r=0.279) between all participants' body mass index (BMI) and chemerin level and a negative correlation between irisin level and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) (p=0.04 r=-0.295, p=0.01 r=-0.407, respectively).

Conclusion: Chemerin is a new generation chemokine that predicts prediabetes. Studies aimed at irisin and chemerin may provide important role to prevent the prediabetes to Type 2 diabetes progression.
Középiskolás diákok ismerete egyes nemzetgazdasági ágak és a háztartások üvegházhatásúgáz-kibocsátásáról
Authors: Kulman Katalin
Published: December 2022

Az éghajlatváltozás napjainkban egyre nagyobb mértékű káros hatásokat eredményez, melyek a jövő generációinak életében is érzékelhetők lesznek. A klímaváltozás kialakulásában több tényező is szerepet játszik. A szakemberek szerint az iparosodás óta az antropogén tevékenységek a legmeghatározóbbak az üvegházhatású gázok légköri koncentrációjának növekedésében, amely felelőssé tehető a levegő hőmérsékletének globális emelkedéséért. A különböző tevékenységek üvegházhatásúgáz-kibocsátása eltérő mértékű. A téma tanítása jellegénél fogva a földrajz és a természettudományos tantárgyak feladata. A tanulmány témája a magyarországi üvegházhatásúgáz-, és a szén-dioxid kibocsátás, valamint ezek megítélése a középiskolás diákok által. A 2020/2021. tanév első félévében zajlott pilot kutatásban egy gimnázium és egy technikum 11. évfolyamos tanulói vettek részt. A kutatás során online kérdőíves felmérés történt. Egy kérdéscsoport válaszait SPSS programcsomag segítségével elemeztem. Mindkét esetben – üvegházhatásúgáz-, szén-dioxid kibocsátás – a diákoknak ugyanazokat a nemzetgazdasági ágakat és a háztartásokat kellett sorba rendezni aszerint, hogy milyen súlyosan károsítják a légkört. A két iskola diákjai által adott válaszok sorrendjét egymással, illetve a Központi Statisztikai Hivatal (KSH) idetartozó adataival is összehasonlítottam. Az eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy egyetlen jelentős kivételtől eltekintve többnyire egyezőek voltak az iskolák és KSH adatai által kapott sorrendek. Mindkét gázkibocsátás esetében a háztartásokat sorolták az utolsó – legkevésbé légszennyező – helyre, ami a KSH adatai alapján az első helyezett, vagyis a legsúlyosabb szennyező. Ez az eredmény azonban elkeserítő, mert bár ez csak egy pilot kutatás volt, mégis azt jelzi, hogy a diákok nincsenek tudatában a háztartások szerepével a levegő felmelegedésében. A kutatás folytatásaként célszerű lenne a mintanagyság növelésével a középiskolás diákok ismereteit tovább vizsgálni.
Clinical and radiological results of posterior ankle endoscopy treatment for the flexor hallusis longus tenosynovitis and os trigonum syndrome
Authors: SAYLIK Murat
Published: December 2022

Objectives: This study investigated the effect of two portal posterior ankle arthroscopy (PAA) procedures using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for the treatment of patients with ankle pain associated with Os trigonum (OT) and Flexor hallusis longus (FHL) tenosynovitis. The effect of PAA treatment on the degree and localization of effusion around the FHL tendon was also investigated.
Methods: Between March 2016 and August 2021, 41 patients who underwent PAA with the diagnosis of OT and stenosing FHL tenosynovitis, whose arthroscopy video records could be reviewed retrospectively, and who had at least 1 year of follow-up results were included in the study. Patients in the pediatric age group, diabetes patients, patients with inflammatory disease, and those with subtalar and tibiotalar osteoarthritis were excluded from the study. Preoperative and postoperative physical examinations, lateral radiography of the pressing foot, MRI, and the VAS and AOFAS scores were evaluated. In the statistical analysis, data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 19.0 (SPSS, Chicago, Illinois, USA). p < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
Results: The mean age was 35.6 years (range: 19-55), among which the mean age of the women was 36.2 years (range: 24-48), and the mean age of the men was 35.2 years (range: 19-55). The mean follow-up was 34 months (range: 14-62). The AOFAS value increased from 38.61 ± 7.176 preoperatively to 89.83 ± 6.34 at the postoperative follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Five patients fully regained their normal function (AOFAS score = 100 points). The VAS value increased from 90 ± 5.916 preoperatively to 18.682 ± 7.688 at the last postoperative follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Pre-PAA FHL tenosynovitis was seen only in zone 1 in 26 patients, zones 1 and 2 in 14 patients, and in zones 1, 2, and 3 in two patients. There was no significant decrease in effusion in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1 month after the PAA (p = 0.117). A significant decrease in effusion was observed in the MRI taken at the last control (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: In the treatment of patients with ankle pain associated with OT and FHL tenosynovitis, the two-portal PAA treatment was observed to be an effective method that resulted in significant improvement in the AOFAS and VAS scores.
Przemiany w stanie i strukturze wieku populacji makroregionu północnego w dwóch pierwszych dekadach XXI wieku
Authors: Majdzińska Anna
Published: December 2022

Podstawowe cele artykułu to analiza przemian w stanie i strukturze wieku populacji obszarów makroregionu północnego (tworzonego przez województwa pomorskie, kujawsko‑pomorskie i warmińsko‑mazurskie) i ich ocena pod względem zaawansowania starości demograficznej w dwóch pierwszych dekadach XXI wieku. Cel dodatkowy stanowi ocena natężenia czynników wzrostu i ubytku populacji w badanych obszarach.
W badaniu wykorzystano wskaźniki natężenia i struktury oraz indeksy dynamiki. Podstawę analiz stanowiły dane GUS z zakresu struktury populacji według wieku oraz ruchu naturalnego i migracyjnego ludności w województwach, powiatach i gminach makroregionu północnego.
W makroregionie północnym zaawansowanie starości demograficznej, podobnie jak natężenie zdarzeń z zakresu ruchu naturalnego i migracyjnego ludności, jest wysoce zróżnicowane wewnątrzregionalnie. Relatywnie młodsze obszary to przede wszystkim gminy wiejskie zlokalizowane w pobliżu miast, najstarsze zaś to głównie miasta lub gminy położone na obrzeżach województw lub peryferyjnie względem miast. Stosunkowo najkorzystniejszą sytuacją demograficzną odznacza się województwo pomorskie, najmniej korzystną zaś warmińsko‑mazurskie. Gminy cechujące się najwyższym zaawansowaniem starości demograficznej to najczęściej obszary doświadczające corocznego ubytku populacji.
La nulidad del despido lesivo de derechos constitucionales
Authors: Arce Ortíz Elmer Guillermo
Published: December 2022

Nuestra legislación ha exhibido en materia de estabilidad laboral, desde 1991 en adelante, la tendencia creciente a sustituir el régimen de estabilidad absoluta, en el que se reconoce al trabajador injustificadamente despedido el derecho a su reposición en el empleo, por la estabilidad relativa, en el que el afectado sólo tiene derecho al pago de una indemnización. Sin embargo, se reservó un campo en el que esa sustitución de mecanismos reparatorios no operó: el despido nulo. En este caso, cuando no sólo hubiera ausencia de fundamento para la extinción del vínculo laboral, sino que ésta derivara además de la vulneración de determinados valores constitucionalmente relevantes, el trabajador tendría derecho a ser readmitido en su puesto. Lamentablemente, ese campo de excepción fue concebido de manera estrecha y cerrada: sólo ante la violación de determinados derechos, sustantivos -referidos a ciertos motivos discriminatorios- o instrumentales -algunos aspectos de la tutela jurisdiccional efectiva, y con severas limitaciones probatorias. De allí deriva que, en estos años, la utilización de la nulidad del despido por nuestra jurisprudencia, por demás reticente a lecturas progresivas de los textos, haya sido realmente pobre. En este contexto, Elmer Arce emprendió la investigación que ha culminado en este libro. En una primera etapa, el autor ha revisado los mejores materiales doctrinarios y jurisprudenciales, nacionales y extranjeros. sobre la materia. Un análisis cuidadoso de toda esa información, le ha permitido luego detectar los principales problemas, así como organizar adecuadamente sus planteamientos sobre la cuestión. Por último, ha redactado su texto con la mayor precisión. Este es el itinerario de un brillante trabajo, como el que nos ofrece el autor. El libro contiene primero un recuento de la evolución de nuestra legislación en lo que respecta a la regulación del despido. Los vaivenes de un subibaja de protección, que se detuvo por ahora muy cerca del suelo. Después, se presenta con rigor cada uno de los conceptos centrales referidos al despido lesivo de derechos constitucionales. Se detiene en la delicada cuestión de la tensión surgida entre la libertad de empresa, de un lado, y los derechos fundamentales de la persona -y, por tanto, también del trabajador- cuando se ejercen en el marco de una relación laboral. La preocupación en este punto es hallar el equilibrio entre uno y otro valor constitucionalmente tutelado, a través de la doctrina del balanceo. Asimismo, se ocupa del despido como acto lesivo de derechos constitucionales, indagando sobre el momento en que puede operar la lesión (en la motivación o en la realización del despido), la tutela restitutoria apropiada (que no puede ser otra que la reposición del trabajador en el empleo) y la atenuación de la carga de la prueba, para favorecer a la víctima de la lesión.
El control parlamentario de las atribuciones del presidente en la celebración de los convenios ejecutivos internacionales
Authors: Méndez Chang Elvira
Published: December 2022

El trabajo de Elvira Méndez recoge los aspectos más interesantes de la discusión parlamentaria sobre los alcances de la expresión «dar cuenta», que no debe ser entendida como mera información burocrática, sino como mecanismo que da lugar al control del Parlamento. A partir de allí el estudio se concentra en la Ley 25397 que reguló los actos normativos del Presidente de la República. Fui autor de uno de los proyectos de ley que sirvió de base para que la Comisión de Constitución del Senado elaborase la propuesta que luego se convirtió en ley. Desde esa posición de coautor de una de las leyes más importantes dadas por el Congreso en 1991 para cautelar la institucionalidad democrática del país, debo decir que el análisis e interpretación que Elvira Méndez hace de esa ley es acertado.

Manufacturing consent: explanatory model of media functioning
Authors: Nazarov Mikhail
Published: December 2022

The research gives an account to the concept of E. Herman and N. Chomsky, focused on the role of media in the manufacturing of elite consent in modern American society. Two leading approaches to media power – liberal-pluralistic and critical political economy forms the framework of the research. The genesis and content of the concept of "manufacturing of consent" is considered. Neo–Marxist tradition of analysis forms the background of the authors' concept of the production of consent as a means of nonviolent domination and maintaining the status quo. The study examines the propaganda media filters promoted to elite consensus. The article gives recognition to the importance of understanding propaganda filters as an analytical tool that identifies structural factors determining the position of media in the context of power relations in society. Factors / filters of market and profit orientation; advertising; dependence on key sources; threats of defamation in relation to the media; dominant ideology provide better understanding of the place and role of media in the system of state and corporate power in the United States. The Herman and Chomsky concept proposed more than three decades ago continues to be relevant under the current conditions of rapid progress of communication technologies and crucial changes in the media landscape. There is a further growth of powerful media conglomerates; the level of concentration in the Internet segment significantly exceeds traditional media.

The fiqh (Islamic law) learning process using media among Islamic studies teachers at MAN 2 Mataram has huge implications for the quality of the learning process. Fiqh learning, especially on the topics of hajj and umrah as well as the treatment of the deceased, with media support, turns out to be exciting, and it accelerates and enhances students' understanding. Teachers of Islamic studies can explain hajj and umrah as well as bathing and praying the deceased through a demonstration using a miniature of Ka’bah and a doll representing a corpse, respectively. Students practice the lessons individually and in groups upon the teacher's demonstration. The process of Fiqh learning using media has an implication towards the increase of students understanding and their ability to memorize the lessons.

Authors: Anastasia Ruth , Zuhria Ismi , Fatmariyanti Susy
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Infectious inflammation of the periorbital and orbital soft tissue can be classified as preseptal (periorbital) or postseptal (orbital) cellulitis. Eyelid abscess, an accumulation of pus in the palpebral tissue, can occur in isolation or in association with preseptal cellulitis. Preseptal cellulitis is nearly three times more common than orbital cellulitis. Case Presentation: The patient, in this case, was admitted with a complaint of swollen left eyelid ten days before being admitted. Swollen eyelid with the inability to open the left eye was accompanied by pus discharge five days before coming to the hospital. Current complaints include eyelid pain, swelling, and discharge of thick yellow fluid. Massive abscess with active pus and crust was present in the left superior and inferior eyelid and frontotemporal area. A head CT scan revealed a soft tissue mass in the left sub galea soft tissue, left frontal region, left orbit, and left temporal region. Multi-department consultations and several workups were done to reveal the etiology and plan the appropriate management of this condition. Conclusion: A comprehensive assessment must be done to distinguish preseptal and orbital cellulitis. Ophthalmology examination and imaging are crucial to detect any extension of the palpebral abscess beyond the orbital septum. Examining an immunocompromised state and focal infection is crucial in determining proper treatment.

Introduction: The prevalence of Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is estimated to be 1:100.000 proportion of the population. Knowledge of the clinical and therapy of WMS is expected to improve the ability to diagnose this disease. In this case report, we will present a case of WMS in a tertiary hospital because our findings are rare and essential concerning the symptomatic treatment and visual rehabilitation. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old child presented with blurred vision in the left eye. The patient showed an abnormal facial appearance with short stature and brachydactyly on both hands. The patient had a history of Intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) surgery on the right eye with an indication of anterior lens subluxation. The patient then suffered aphakic glaucoma in the right eye after surgery. Anterior segment examination of the right eye found an aphakic lens, conjunctival sclerectasia, atrophic iris, and mid-dilation pupil. Anterior segment of the left eye found an atrophic iris and lens subluxation. From the clinical appearance and the ocular disturbance, such as brachydactyly and short stature, the patient was diagnosed with suspected WMS. The patient was treated with ICCE surgery on the left eye and micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) surgery on the right eye. Conclusion: WMS is a rare disease. It is essential to make an early diagnosis of glaucoma and ectopia lentis in WMS patients because it will affect their vision.

Introduction: Dry eye is a component of computer vision syndrome (CVS) which is affected by the duration of using a visual display terminal (VDT), such as playing online games. Purpose: To analyze the correlation between the duration spent playing online games and the degree of dry eye complaints and quality of life. Methods: This research is cross-sectional research conducted on students of the General Practitioner Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Nusa Cendana, Kupang, Indonesia, who play online games through Zoom meetings and Whatsapp with a total sampling method on 47 respondents. Data was acquired through online game playing duration questionnaire and dry eye related quality of life score (DEQS) questionnaire. The inclusion criteria in this research was an active medical student of the Universitas Nusa Cendana, Kupang, Indonesia, who had a habit of playing online games and had good literacy skills. This research used eta square statistical analysis. Results: From the 47 acquired samples, the most prominent acquired sample was male (70.2%). DEQS score that was acquired was vary. The lowest score 0-10 is was present on 25.53% of samples, score 11-74 was present on 72.34% of samples and the highest score (75) is present on 2.1% of samples. Impaired quality of life score was found on dry eye range (31-75). There was no significant correlation between the duration spent online playing games and the degree of dry eye complaints (p = 0.693). There was significant correlation between degree of dry eye complaint and quality of life (p = 0.000). Conclusions: The duration of spent online playing games has no effect on the degree of dry eye complaints. The degree of dry eye complaints can affect the quality of life.

Introduction: Episcleritis is an acute inflammation of the vascular connective tissue between the conjunctiva and the sclera’s surface, which can be found unilateral and bilateral. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the systemic infectious diseases that cause morbidity in developing countries and can affect the ocular area known as ocular tuberculosis There are still limited cases of ocular tuberculosis studies, specifically tubercular nodular episcleritis in adolescents. This case report aims to expose nodular episcleritis in pediatric tuberculosis patients in Indonesia. Case Presentation: A 16-year-old boy came to the Community Eye Health Hospital East Java with superior bilateral eye redness and pain with normal visual acuity. He underwent advanced anti-tubercular treatment for the last nine months. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of both eyes was 6/6. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy (SLB) examination found the dilation of blood vessels located on the superior episclera accompanied by a firmly bordered, fixed, pink nodule, diameter ± 1.5 mm located at 12 o’clock in bilateral bulbar conjunctiva. Based on anamnesis and physical examination, the diagnosis of nodular episcleritis et causa pulmonary TB was established. Topical corticosteroids and artificial tears eyedrops were given in both eyes for five weeks, and continuing anti-tubercular treatment was performed. Conclusion: It is necessary to investigate the primary cause of episcleritis by eliminating underlying systemic diseases. Herein, we present a rare case of nodular episcleritis in an adolescent with pulmonary tuberculosis who responded very well to anti-tubercular treatment with topical corticosteroid and artificial tears eye drops.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY WHEN HANDLING FARM ANIMALS
Authors:   Faculty of Management, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland, PILARCZYK Maria
Published: December 2022

In 2021, 12,088 accidents involving animals were reported to the Regional Branches and Local Units of KRUS in Poland: 10.2% more than in 2020. The most common causes of such accidents are poor housing conditions and a lack of knowledge about how to handle them, the latter of which is exacerbated by high employee turnover and a lack of adequate training. Employee training should cover animal welfare assessment, dealing with animals, the use of personal and collective protective equipment, as well as first aid and biological hazard assessment. To maintain a good standard of occupational safety on a farm, the conditions for rearing and breeding animals, and the rules of their operation, should be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Bulls, stallions, boars, rams and goats prone to kicking and biting are considered dangerous animals and special precautions should be taken when handling them. Only a good knowledge of basic animal behaviour, together with improved animal welfare, proper handling practices, and the use of appropriate containment equipment, will ensure safe handling of animals. Currently, all work with animals is governed by the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development on Occupational Health and Safety when Handling Farm Animals dated 4 August 2017 (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 1692).

The quality of beef is determined, among others, by factors such as breed, age and sex of slaughtered animals and fattening intensity. The aim of the study was to assess carcass quality of young cattle purchased by a selected domestic meat processing plant. The study included a group of 300 bulls and 300 heifers with selected genotypes (Limousine breed; crossbreds – Charolaise, Limousine, Simental × Polish Holstein-Friesian; Polish Holstein-Friesian breed). The following were determined for each animal: body weight before slaughter (kg), hot carcass weight (kg), hot carcass quality index (%), carcass conformation class and carcass fatness class according to the EUROP system. The mean body weight of slaughtered animals was found to be 650 kg. Carcass yield of the assessed young cattle was on average 54%. Carcasses of bulls (non-castrated males) were on aver- age 90 kg heavier and had 3 pp. higher carcass yield than carcasses of uncalved females (P < 0.05). The conformation classes of the EUROP system showed that almost 48% of the carcasses of young Limousine bulls reached the highest classes, i.e. E− and U. Limousine bulls (57.2%) had the highest carcass yield among the determined genotypic groups. The desired lowest degree of fatness was found in carcasses of bulls of all genotypes (an average of 2.9 points).
