Київський текст: кітчевий вимір (на матеріалі роману Богдана Бойчука «Розанна з Нивок»)
Authors: Чупат Дарина
Published: December 2023

Стаття фокусується на функціюванні київського тексту в романі Богдана Бойчука “Розанна з Нивок”. Користуючись теоріями Тамари Гундорової, авторка статті зближує характерний для модернізму “романсний” міський — а зокрема київський — текст і текст кітчевий, що дає підстави зарахувати “Розанну з Нивок” до, за визначенням Тамари Гундорової, “наївного, або неусвідомленого, кітчу”. Відповідна наснаженість тексту Бойчука виявляється у формальній та сюжетній його спорідненості з романсним жанром, а також у специфічному способі авторської нарації.

У праці проаналізовано, як постає — а відтак змінюється — київський простір “Розанни з Нивок”. Крім того, робота окреслює орієнтири, які є константними у маркуванні міського простору. Було виявлено, що головною рисою київського простору в романі Богдана Бойчука є його замкненість: найчастіше в тексті виринають ті локуси (Володимирська гірка та прилеглі околиці, як-от Софійський та Михайлівський собори, Золоті Ворота тощо), які формують імагологічний образ Києва. Важливим є й те, що в тексті трапляються неточності, характерні для людей, які ще не освоїлися в місті: це, зокрема, хибно побудовані маршрути, неправильно зазначені назви вулиць тощо. Цей факт можна пов’язати водночас і зі специфічним характером головного героя роману, і з тим, що більшу частину життя Богдан Бойчук провів не в Києві.

Зберігаючи сентимент до сакральних пам’яток міста, роман зміщує фокус уваги в бік мирського: точками, які структурують простір, є не не історичні споруди, а ресторани й кафе, які можна знайти в тому чи тому районі. Водночас мірою того, як змінюється внутрішній стан головного героя роману, розширюється й київська топіка: в тексті з’являються більш віддалені від помешкання персонажа райони, як-от околиці метро “Арсенальна” чи проспект Перемоги, що на Нивках.

Оскільки поштовхом до такої зміни є розвиток романтичних почуттів героя, стає очевидним той факт, що київський простір — це простір вітальний, а вихід із нього стає ознакою смерті або старіння.
Пам’ятка архітектури – будинок на вул. Спаській, 16-Б: Історія та датування
Authors: Попельницька Олена
Published: December 2023

У дослідженні розглядається історія та архітектура розташованого в центрі київського Подолу житлового будинку, спорудженого у XVIII та добудованого у ХІХ столітті. Вперше ця споруда опинилась у полі зору києвознавців у 1930 р., коли Ф. Ернст опублікував про неї статтю в путівнику «Київ. Провідник». Подальші студії цієї споруди, що відновились наприкінці 1970-х рр., мали як архітектурне спрямування, так і пошуки в київських архівах документів, які б дозволили з’ясувати прізвища власників цього будинку.

Протягом другої половини 1980-х – початку 1990-х рр. київські архітектори (О. Шевченко, В. Петрущенко, І. Малакова, В. Отченашко, А. Подольський, В. Гаврилюк), мистецтвознавці (Л. Пляшко та М. Кадомська) та архівісти (Р. Лякіна), всебічно дослідивши споруду на вулиці Спаській, 16-Б, дійшли до низки важливих висновків про етапи її спорудження, а також з’ясували прізвища власників цієї споруди з 1780-х років до 1917 р.: київські купці Сичевські, Усовичі, Хотяновські, Покровські та Морачевські.

У 1989–1993 рр. було проведено роботи по відновленню первісного вигляду цієї будівлі, спорудженої у два будівельні етапи: XVIII ст. (перший поверх із льохами) та ХІХ ст. (другий поверх, двоповерхова прибудова з цокольним поверхом та льохами).

Час спорудження цієї цивільної споруди, із залученням комплексу історичних джерел (передусім українських архітектурних аналогій), можна визначити в хронологічних межах: кінець 1780-х – 1790-ті роки. Це був час, коли на київському Подолі розпочалось активне цивільне цегляне будівництво, яке тривало до пожежі 1811 р., що знищила майже всю забудову цього історичного міського району. Вцілілі під час цієї катастрофічної пожежі подільські кам’яниці (до яких належить будинок по вул. Спаській, 16-Б) нині становлять значну архітектурну та історичну цінність як нечисленні релікти київської цивільної забудови XVIII століття.
“O pó preso a nós... sacudimos contra vós”
Authors: Gonzaga Waldecir , Lourenço Cardoso Júnior José Vanol
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma análise de Lc 10,10-12, texto no qual Jesus instrui os 72 discípulos enviados em missão, com especial atenção à expressão “o pó preso a nós... sacudimos contra vós” (Lc 10,11a). Tal expressão ameaçadora, associada à referência a Sodoma, num primeiro momento causa estranheza ao leitor/ouvinte atual. Porém, a partir da tradução, observação de detalhes estilísticos e gramaticais do texto grego, bem como da busca de elementos de intertextualidade intrabíblicos e de synkrisis com passagens do Antigo Testamento, consta-se que o Reino de Deus deve ser anunciado sempre, independentemente das condições impostas aos missionários; todos devem tomar conhecimento sobre a iminência da vinda do Reino. A combinação πλήν...ὅτι como uma conjunção subordinativa exclusiva (oração de exceção) – “a menos que...” ou “exceto se...” – comporta em si uma última possibilidade de mudança radical nos desígnios do Senhor, carregando por traz do tom ameaçador e escatológico uma última possibilidade de experimentar a misericórdia de Deus. Os passos dados para a redação deste artigo, servindo-se das ferramentas da Análise Retórica Bíblica Semítica, foram segmentação e tradução de Lc 10,10-12, observações gerais e análise exegética do texto, bem como a busca de contatos com o Antigo Testamento.
educação católica em tempos de incertezas
Authors: Mazzetto de Castro Gillianno José , De Sousa José Abel , Bonhemberger Marcelo
Published: December 2023

Este artigo busca analisar alguns fundamentos da educação católica e relacioná-los com o contexto global de insegurança e medo que tem se intensificado no Ocidente, especialmente no Brasil, nas últimas décadas. Esses elementos são essenciais para se compreender a proposta educativa católica e sua relevância diante do contexto de incerteza e medo que permeia a sociedade atual. Ao explorar esses elementos teológicos, é possível vislumbrar como a educação católica busca fornecer uma base sólida para enfrentar as incertezas e promover uma consciência crítica e dialogal. Para isso, é realizada uma contextualização da cultura do medo e seus mecanismos. Em seguida, à luz do Pacto Educacional Global, são explorados os elementos teológicos e querigmáticos presentes na prática educativa da tradição católica. Por fim, são apresentadas as possibilidades de reflexão sobre instituições pedagógico-teológicas para a educação católica em tempos de inquietação. Trata-se de ensaio teórico baseado em revisão bibliográfica, utilizando a metodologia de revisão narrativa de literatura.
viagens dos Xerente
Authors: Terra de Calazans Fernandes Antonia
Published: December 2023

A proposta deste texto é especificar os contatos, os confrontos e as resistências de um povo indígena – Xerente –, que traçou uma história específica, sem deixar de estar imerso nas conjunturas políticas mais amplas impostas pelos governantes aos povos nativos, nos contextos coloniais e subsequentes. O texto pontua o processo de pesquisa iniciado pela localização de uma foto na revista A Cigarra, de 1921, no acervo digital do Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo (APESP), registrando a presente de um grupo de Xerente na cidade. Para entender essa visita, o texto apresenta o processo de consulta a diferentes documentos para melhor compreender essa e muitas viagens empreendidas por esse povo indígena ao Rio de Janeiro, passando por São Paulo. Como indica o título, o texto se centra na história das viagens dos Xerente, do século XVIII às primeiras décadas do século XX, no esforço de entender suas motivações.
K slovenským národně‑emancipačním snahám na půdě Československé strany národně socialistické
Authors: Marek Pavel
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the establishment of the Czechoslovak National Socialist Party in Slovakia during the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic from 1918 to 1938. It examines the centralist approach employed by the party to manage the Slovak provincial organization, which eventually clashed with the predominantly nationalist-driven efforts of the Slovak party leadership. The tensions between the Czech and Slovak parts of the party arose due to the absence of a provincial party executive committee, a lack of programmatic theses that considered the specific needs of the region, unresolved issues of financing the party’s activities, and differing views on the political competences of the central and provincial party centres. These issues led to an internal party crisis in Slovakia in the mid-1930s, which was resolved by loosening the Slovak party organization’s ties to Prague
Traduction et interprétation juridique. Quelques remarques à propos des langues à faible diffusion
Authors: Honová Zuzana
Published: December 2023

The right to the assistance of a translator or interpreter is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by national and international legislation. Despite the efforts of the European Union to unify the conditions under which these two professions are practised, there are substantial differences in the way legal and court interpreting and translation are practised in some European countries. The main differences are to be found in the conditions under which these professions are pursued, more specifically in terms of the status of translators and interpreters, access to these two professions, training, and the initial examination, as well as certain specific features related to working languages. The article aims to compare the situation in France and the Czech Republic, where the practice of the profession of legal and court translator and interpreter has recently undergone considerable changes, and to highlight differences, particularly due to the fact that Czech is a language with limited diffusion
Religious and Ecclesiastical Media in the Hungarian Electronic Media Ecosystem
Authors: Radetzky András
Published: December 2023

Many academic works examine religious media institutions and media content producers operating in European countries, including Hungary, but most of them do so in an isolated way, mostly focusing on a particular content producer. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the operation of religious content producers in Hungary in a broader context, which considers the overall media system from a legal and economic point of view. First, we give a short retrospective overview about the history of Hungarian church press. Afterwards we examine the current legal framework for audiovisual regulation in Hungary. The conclusions are based on data obtained using three different methodologies. We have analyzed the freely accessible records of the Hungarian media authority (NMHH) and legislation, conducted a total of 6 in-depth interviews and an analysis of the content produced by each media outlet. The results of our research showed that in Hungary there is a disconnect between the concepts of church and religious media and that churches have hardly any comprehensive strategy to exploit the potential of digitalization. It can be concluded that church-owned media with religious content cannot be included in the present legal and economic framework without problems. Finally, an important question is whether and how church media are adapting to the changed environment. Our case studies show that the picture is mixed in this respect, because there is a lack of a coherent strategy among the actors on how service providers can adapt as effectively as possible to the new technological consumption patterns.
Challenges of Multiculturalism: Integration of Religion in State Policy
Authors: Annisa Neng Nur , Tabassum Nabila
Published: December 2023

This abstract explores the intricate challenges posed by the integration of religion in state policy within multicultural societies. Multiculturalism, as a philosophy, advocates for the coexistence of diverse cultural and religious groups within a single nation, emphasizing tolerance and inclusivity. However, the incorporation of religion into the framework of state governance often presents complex and contentious issues. This paper examines the tensions that arise when religious beliefs intersect with the principles of secular governance, highlighting the dilemmas faced by governments in striking a balance between respecting religious freedom and upholding the separation of religions and state. It delves into case studies from various countries, shedding light on the diverse approaches taken to address these challenges and the potential implications for social cohesion, individual rights, and democratic governance. Additionally, the abstract explores the role of dialogue, education, and policy-making in mitigating these challenges and fostering a harmonious multicultural society that respects both religious diversity and the fundamental values of the state. Ultimately, this abstract aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted issues surrounding the integration of religion in state policy and invites further research and discussion on this critical aspect of multiculturalism.
La Biblia como literatura: lecturas postseculares
Authors: Wahnon Sultana
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es utilizar la categoría habermasiana de lo postsecular para describir y explicar las transformaciones de la interpretación de la Biblia desde mediados del siglo XX. Tras elaborar una posible definición de las lecturas postseculares, por confrontación con las religiosas y las seculares, el núcleo del trabajo trata de demostrar la existencia de una hermenéutica postsecular avant la lettre, que, según se argumenta aquí, habría sido previa no solo a la elaboración del concepto por Habermas, sino también al resurgimiento del fenómeno religioso dentro de las actuales sociedades multiculturales y en el contexto de la globalización. Para indagar en estas tempranas manifestaciones del espíritu postsecular, se han seleccionado los comentarios bíblicos de tres relevantes autores contemporáneos: el filólogo Luis Alonso Schökel, el teórico y comparatista Harold Bloom y el filósofo Paul Ricoeur. Los resultados del análisis permiten concluir que algunos cultivadores de esta hermenéutica postsecular fueron conscientes de estar fundando algo nuevo, lo que, en el caso de Paul Ricoeur, se tradujo en la elaboración de un importante concepto, el de poscrítica, sinónimo y, por tanto, precedente del actual concepto habermasiano.
Reakcije hrvatskih novina i crkvene reakcije na dvoboj između narodnjaka Izidora Kršnjavoga i pravaša Milana Pavlovića 1885.
Authors: Tomljenović Ivan
Published: December 2023

The paper briefly introduces the relevant aspects of the political and ecclesiastical scene in Civil Croatia (Banska Hrvatska) in the mid-1880s. Emphasis is accorded to the socio-political status of Izidor Kršnjavi and his Copernican political turn, reflected in his decision to join the People’s Party in 1884 at a time of rising Hungarian influence. Hungarian dominance was encouraged by Károly KhuenHéderváry, the new ban (royal governor). This in turn led to the strengthening of the Statehood Right Party on the nationalist end of the political spectrum. The roles of Kršnjavi’s former political patron and Đakovo Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer from the Independent People’s Party and Zagreb Archbishop Josip Mihalović are also presented. Using archival materials from Kršnjavi’s Bequest, themes such as the violation of the Croatian territorial parliament’s dignity, the insulted honour of People’s Party member Vaso Pauković and other personal grounds are examined. These may have been the underlying motives which led to the pistol duel between Kršnjavi, a member of the People’s Party, and Statehood Right Party member Milan Pavlović in 1885, after insults were hurled on the floor of Parliament. The course of the parliamentary debate culminating in a verbal altercation between Vaso Pauković and Milan Pavlović is also described in detail. The paper underscores the intersection between politics (People’s Party, Statehood Right Party, Independent People’s Party), the Croatian media (Sloboda, which featured contributions from Statehood Right Party leader Ante Starčević; Pozor and Narodne novine, which backed the People’s Party and Independent People’s Party respectively; and the Church-backed Katolički list) and the Church (Mihalović vs. Strossmayer, and the lower ecclesiastical structures personified by Mijo Smetiško, the director of the Archdiocesan Theological Seminary). To a large extent, and sometimes exclusively, they reflected the previous, politically conditioned a priori premises acted out by the participants in these events. How these premises manifested themselves is demonstrated on the basis of archival materials (from Kršnjavi’s post as lecturer at the Theology Faculty and his later reminiscences on the duel and the associated circumstances) and the official aspect of the penalties stipulated for duels and the time and manner of their enforcement. In the case of Mihalović’s letters to the Apostolic See, they were cast aside and therefore generated no internal canonical disputes at that time. In the case of Croatia’s territory as a whole, they largely reflected the previous political, i.e., partisan, classification of their protagonists and commentators. This clearly stems from what they said (or did not) about the individuals involved in the case and their actions and the necessary official repercussions.
Karlovački tjednik – lokalne novine u socijalizmu
Authors: Najbar-Agičić Magdalena
Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of research into local media during the socialist era in Croatia using the example of the situation in Karlovac and the local weekly newspaper Karlovački tjednik. Launched in 1953, its development kept pace with that of other local media in socialist Croatia and Yugoslavia. During the 1960s, it was among the best local newspapers in Croatia and received several awards. As elsewhere, the weekly was published by the Socialist League of the Working People, a mass organization used by the League of Communists to rule the country. The circumstances of the establishment and development of this local newspaper are presented, as well as its status vis-à-vis local centres of power. In addition to party structures, there were other centres of power, such as large local factories, upon which newspapers depended. In the paper, emphasis is placed on research into the position of local media and the interrelationships that dictated their status in the local community during the period of self-management socialism. It was therefore possible to recognize phenomena of a more general character as well as the specifics of the local milieu in Karlovac. The case of Karlovac is extremely interesting due both to the dynamic environment there and the specific situation in the city in terms of interethnic relations with certain associated tensions. The research made use of the digitized newspaper materials of Karlovački tjednik and the rich collection of materials held in the State Archives in Karlovac.

Between Law and Politics: Nuclear Non Proliferation and State-Induced Compliance in International Trade
Authors: Кондрашов Олег Романович
Published: December 2023

The US economic sanctions (including sweeping export restrictions) against Iran and Russia, while presented as aiming at non-proliferation, appear to have ineluctably undermined the negotiations to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an agreement meant to deter Iran from pursuing nuclear status. The present paper approaches this situation as a telling example of how unrestrained export control can come into tension with international security, in this case within the nuclear non-proliferation regime. Drawing on this illustrative case, this article seeks to formulate more general conclusions as regards the potential side-effects of broad export restrictions, their necessary limits under WTO law, and the significance of the WTO system in the non-proliferation process. First, this paper contextualises export controls as part of this regime, and then addresses the causal implications of the above situation, concluding that it does demonstrate the involvement of a foreign policy element that is ultimately at odds with the stated goals of nuclear non-proliferation. Finally, the paper examines the substance of Article XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which the sanctioning State will most likely use to justify its trade restrictions in a WTO dispute. It finds that a good faith interpretation and available practice indicate that the exceptions of Article XXI involve demanding standards and are to be interpreted so as to screen out, as far as possible, measures that covertly pursue other (e.g. foreign policy) interests. Meanwhile, non-WTO Member States could try to advance cases through friendly Members if they could establish a breach of WTO law that concerns the latter, though the chances are admittedly very thin. Ultimately, the WTO system is revealed as a valuable element in ensuring and maintaining international security and non-proliferation.

Aristotle on Continuity: Continuous Connection in Phys. V 3, and the Mathematical Account of Motion and Time in Phys. VI
Authors: Heinemann Gottfried
Published: December 2023

Wholes have parts, and wholes are prior to parts according to Aristotle. Aristotle’s accounts of continuity, in Phys. V 3 (plus sections in Metaph. Δ 6 and Ι 1) on the one hand and in Phys. VI on the other, are specified in terms of ways in which wholes are related to parts. The synthesis account in Phys. 
V 3 etc. applies primarily to bodies (in, e.g., anatomy). It indicates a variety of ways in which parts of a body are kept together by a common boundary and are thereby combined into a mostly inhomogeneous, functional whole.
Only the analysis account in Phys. VI applies primarily to linear continua such as movements, paths of movements, and time. The structure it indicates is only superficially described as indefinite divisibility: what matters is the transfer of potential divisions from path to movement and time (and conversely) which, surprisingly, requires an equivalent to Dedekind’s continuity principle to be tacitly presupposed. – In the present paper, my agenda will focus on the exposition of the relevant theories offered by Aristotle in Phys. V 3 and Phys. VI 1-2, respectively, with a view to the applications envisaged by Aristotle and to the mathematics involved.

What factors influence Bitcoin’s daily price direction from the perspective of machine learning classifiers?
Authors: Kalinić Milićević Tea , Marasović Branka
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the factors that influence Bitcoin price direction from the perspective of machine learning (ML) models. The observed factors cover Bitcoin market data, technical indicators, blockchain variables, sentiment analysis, and other macro-financial variables. Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are employed. Three train-test ratios are considered. Grid search and blocking time series cross-validation are used to adjust the hyperparameters of the proposed ML algorithms resulting in the three most accurate models for each train-test ratio. Variables that affect the next-day price direction are ranked using LR and RF best models. For each method and train-test ratio, the smallest subsets of independent variables with the highest test set accuracy were chosen to reduce dimensionality. Models show that technical indicators influence daily Bitcoin price direction the most, followed by blockchain and Bitcoin market variables. Contrarily, models disagree on the importance of Tweets and macro-financial variables. Finally, SVM performed better on the test set when the LR optimal sets of independent variables were considered, indicating that the analysis of individual factors' influence on the Bitcoin price is not important only for corresponding model. Combining only influential independent variables and 90:10 train-test ratio yielded the greatest accuracy of 58.18 % achieved by RF model.
SAFETY, EFFICACY AND FEASIBILITY OF TRANS RADIAL APPROACH IN COMPARISON WITH TRANSFEMORAL APPROACH IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY CATHETERIZATION
Authors: Karadakhi Kamaran , Hasan Asan , Mohammad Hemn , Jalal Razan
Published: December 2023

Background:Percutaneous Coronary Intervention has been done traditionally through Transfemoral route. Trans Radial route is coming up in the practice. We compared Trans Radial with Transfemoral accesses for ease of operability, time of procedure, complications, and failure rates through a cross sectional study.

Objectives:To assess the efficacy, feasibility, safety and procedural variables in Trans radial approach compared with the Transfemoral Approach in patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization.

Patients and Methods:A total of 180 patients with both chronic and acute coronary syndromes were enrolled in this study, one hundred forty 140 cases with Radial, 28 of whom were crossed to Femoral access (hence 112 Radials with 108 Right Radial and 4 Left Radial) and 68 cases with Femoral access.

Results:Procedural time between Trans Radial and Transfemoral accesses were similar (17.39±10.33 vs 19.68±16.62 minutes P-value 0.36) respectively while among Femoral crossover group was higher (33.50±20.30 minutes P-value 0.01). The Fluoroscopy time was (5.51±4.70 in Trans Radial Vs. 7.18 ±7.65 minutes in Transfemoral P-value 0.07) were similar in both groups. Post procedure access site complications seen in (9% in Trans Radial compared to 7.35% in Transfemoral, P-value 0.048), Access site Hematoma being the most common one (6.25% in Trans Radial vs 4.4% in Transfemoral), Non-flow limiting dissections occurred in (0.89% in Trans Radial VS 1.4% Transfemoral), Radial artery perforation occurred in 1.78%, 1.4% of patients in Femoral group had Femoral artery perforation and had major bleeding.

Conclusion:The overall local complications were lower in Transfemoral access, except for major bleeding which is still a big concern. Both vascular Access techniques should not be considered opposite or mutually exclusive, but rather provide the Interventionist a wide spectrum of the therapeutic options.
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ANTI-THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODY AND RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE
Authors: Mahmood Sara , Fattah Chro
Published: December 2023

Background Thyroid disease is the second most commonly affected disease in childbearing women, after diabetes, and thyroid autoimmunity in pregnancy has been connected with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, preterm birth, and low intelligence.

Objectives The study seeks to determine whether there is a significant correlation between anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and unexplained recurrent miscarriages.

Patients and MethodsA Case-control study was conducted on 124 participants, 62 women who had experienced unexplained recurrent miscarriage and 62 healthy women without a history of miscarriage, from 11.9.2021 until 10.6.2022 in the outpatient and emergency department of Sulaimani Maternity Teaching Hospital and some private clinics in Sulaimani City/Kurdistan Region /Iraq, and screening for TSH and anti–thyroid peroxidase antibody are done for both groups.

ResultsThe prevalence of positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody in women with recurrent miscarriage was 19.4 %, while in women without miscarriage was 6.5% (which is considerably higher in cases than in women without recurrent miscarriage with a p-value of 0.03 and an odd ratio of 3.48 (95% CI; 1.06-11.48).

ConclusionThere is a statistically significant relationship between anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and recurrent miscarriage. We recommend screening for TSH and thyroid antibodies for women with recurrent miscarriages and further studies on the effect of levothyroxine therapy for euthyroid women with antibody positive.
EVALUATION OF VITAMIN D IN MOTHERS AND NEWBORNS AT BIRTH IN SULAIMANI MATERNITY TEACHING HOSPITAL
Authors: Mahmood Diya , Noori Saman
Published: December 2023

BackgroundDeficiencies in vitamin D are frequent worldwide. Approximately 1 billion individuals around the globe are vitamin D deficient (<20ng/ml), and half of the population is insufficient (20-29ng/ml). According to extensive epidemiological studies, vitamin D deficiency is common in women, particularly pregnant and nursing mothers. Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is associated with various maternal and fetal health effects.

ObjectivesVitamin D levels in fetuses and newborns are directly related to their mothers’ levels during pregnancy. The study aims to assess and compare the vitamin D levels of mothers and their newborn babies. Additionally, we are interested in determining whether there is a link between vitamin D levels and delivery outcomes.

Patients and MethodsOne hundred pairs of mothers and newborns enrolled in a cross-sectional study at Maternity Teaching Hospital in Sulaimani. Any newborn baby diagnosed with a congenital abnormality during pregnancy was excluded. Also, any mother that was on anticonvulsant drugs was excluded. Blood samples for vitamin D analysis were taken from the mothers and newborns at birth. In addition, the demographic and medical data of the mothers and newborns were recorded. All evaluations had a p-value of 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance.

ResultsThe mothers’ and newborns’ mean vitamin D were 17.2±13.33 ng/ml and 10.48±9.77 ng/ml, respectively. An examination of the data using statistical methods indicated a connection between the vitamin D found in mothers and the levels found in their newborns (p-value=0.001). Furthermore, higher levels during pregnancy were linked to better Apgar scores (≥7) for their newborn children (p-value=0.03). Maternal vitamin D level was not statistically associated with other birth outcomes; p-value > 0.05.

 ConclusionThe results of this study show that vitamin D deficiency in mothers leads to deficiency in their newborns. Except for the Apgar score, no statistically significant relationship was found between maternal vitamin D levels and other birth outcomes.
CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING SURVIVAL OUTCOMES OF ESOPHAGEAL CANCER PATIENTS TREATED AT A SINGLE TERTIARY RADIOTHERAPY CENTER IN IRAQ
Authors: Mikaeil Redeer , Saeed Kamal , Saeed Nyan
Published: December 2023

BackgroundCarcinoma of the oesophagus is one of the top ten most prevalent and aggressive types of cancer worldwide.

ObjectivesTo determine the clinicopathological factors affecting the survival of oesophagal cancer.

Patients and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted retrospectively on 97 patients with oesophagal cancer in a single radiotherapy cancer centre in Sulaimaniyah City, Kurdistan region of Iraq, from 2010 to 2021.

ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 68.4 ± 12.2, ranging from 29 to 90 years old. The major histology was squamous cell carcinoma (89%), and pathological grade II disease was more prevalent (53%). Males and females were equally affected (50% for each gender). At presentation, a larger number of the patients were located in the lower (N=30) and mid (N=29) oesophagus. Stage III was the most common presenting stage (45.7%). The median follow-up time was 14 months. The 12-month and 18-month survival rates were 58.6% and 34.6%, respectively. There was a significantly better survival outcome for patients with grade 1 disease than higher grades, especially grade 2 (p value= 0.01). Chemoradiation showed significantly improved survival benefits compared with RT alone (p value= 0.03) and tri-modality therapy.

ConclusionThe most significant factors affecting 18-month actual survival in oesophagal cancer are tumour biology characteristics, especially low tumour grade, and chemoradiotherapy without surgery.
OXIDATIVE STRESS STATUS IN SERUM OF MIGRAINEURS IN ERBIL CITY-IRAQ
Authors: Rasoul Abdulrahman
Published: December 2023

BackgroundMigraine is one of the neurological disorders whose etiology remains elusive. Increased oxidative stress may be associated with migraine. Oxidative stress may play an important role in patients with migraine, and it can reflect the ability of tissues to free radical damage.

ObjectivesTo determine the oxidative stress markers levels in migraine patients’ serum. This study also included the use of oxidative stress indicators to diagnose migraines.

Materials and MethodsA total of 180 subjects (100 migraines and 80 healthy controls) were included in the study; nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in serum.

ResultsIn migraineurs, the levels of SOD, NO, and MDA were significantly higher when compared to healthy controls. There was a significant positive correlation between NO with MDA and SOD. Roc curve showed that NO was a useful marker for the diagnosis of migraine. Binary logistic regression documented that NO was negatively affect the life of migraineurs.

ConclusionTherefore, oxidative stress has a role in the pathophysiology of migraine, and NO may serve as a useful diagnostic marker in migraine patients.

Published: December 2023

BackgroundCOVID-19 pandemic, which started in late December 2019, has resulted in a significant number of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Estimating serum antibody titers of both IgM & IgG against the coronavirus in patients plays a crucial role in diagnosis and assessing the severity of the infection.

ObjectivesOur objective is to assess IgM and IgG levels at 2 and 8 weeks from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms and examine their relationship with disease severity and mortality. Additionally, we aim to determine how these antibody levels relate to patient age, BMI, gender, and any chronic illnesses they may have.

Patients and MethodsThis prospective study was conducted at Dr. Hemn Teaching Hospital in Sulaymaniyah, from December 4th, 2021 to March 5th, 2022. It included 33 males and 28 females, aged between 17 and 92 years, all of whom were confirmed to have COVID-19 by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction and/or High-resolution computed tomography. Blood samples were taken 2 and 8 weeks from starting symptoms and processed by ELISA to detect IgM and IgG titers.

ResultsMale patients accounted for 54.1%, and 63.93% were between 30-70 years of age, with 90.16% residing in the city center. The majority were non-smokers (68.85%), and 86.89% did not consume alcohol. In terms of infection severity, 22.95% had mild cases, 40.98% were moderate and 36.07% were severe-critical infections. We observed that higher antibody titers in the early phase were associated with increasing severity and mortality. A higher body mass index was identified as a risk factor for elevated antibody production while hypertension and diabetes were not.

ConclusionOur findings suggest that higher levels of IgM and IgG antibodies during the early phase of COVID-19 are associated with increased disease severity and, consequently, higher mortality rates. Furthermore, a higher BMI was found to be a risk factor for elevated antibody production. After 8 weeks from symptoms, IgG levels remained elevated, while IgM levels declined sharply.

Authors: Murad Handren , Mohammed Ribwar
Published: December 2023

BackgroundNeonatal jaundice is a widespread disorder that affects newborns more frequently than any other condition. Newborn morbidity and mortality are the possible consequences of inappropriate treatment and a delay in the diagnosis of neonatal jaundice. Consequently, awareness and health-seeking activities of mothers are critical in determining the fate of this hazard.

ObjectivesTo determine the level of information and attitude of mothers in the Raparin Administration toward neonatal jaundice management.

Materials and MethodsA Cross-sectional study was conducted in Raparin Administration Teaching Hospitals for Maternity and Children. A non-probability / convenient sampling technique was used for the selection of 208 mothers who have a neonate with jaundice. The data were collected through structured interviews with mothers, using a specially designed questionnaire, from May 2022 to July 2022. A Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.27) was used for statistical analysis.

ResultsThe results of the study show that the majority of mothers were in the age group 25-33 years, the percentage of those mothers who have graduated from universities was 26.9% and 78.4% of them were living in urban areas, followed by 90.4% of mothers were unemployed and 71.6% have delivered their babies through cesarean section. 61.5% of the neonate’s study sample were male. The percentage of neonates’ blood group O+ is 39.4%. about (54.3) had been fed their babies through breastfeeding. Another major finding revealed that 57.2% of mothers had good information followed by 48.1% of them also had a good attitude regarding neonatal jaundice management. The mean scores of mothers’ information and attitude are 2.45 and 2.34 respectively both mean scores are in the good area on their spectrum, also revealing that there are significant relationships between mothers’ information and their demographic features (level of education and mother occupation) at p-value < 0.02 and < 0.01 respectively.

ConclusionMothers had good information and attitudes regarding neonatal jaundice management. Mothers’ information significantly relates to their occupation and level of education. And also, a non-significantly relationship with their age, and residential places. Mothers’ attitudes significantly relationships with their age, educational level, residency, and mothers’ occupation. It is recommended that mothers should be given further health education during antenatal visits regarding neonatal jaundice management to improve their information and attitudes.

Authors: Contreras Barceló Elisabet , Berríos Barra Lorena
Published: December 2023

En los últimos tiempos la lectura ha sufrido cambios sustanciales: ya no se lee lo mismo ni de la misma manera. La aparición de las narrativas transmedia ha cambiado la manera de crear, difundir y leer ficción. Dichas narrativas pueden favorecer la formación literaria de jóvenes lectores, ampliando a su vez el concepto de literacidad. La presente propuesta pretende aproximarse al perfil transmedia de docentes en formación inicial, en un contexto de educación literaria, para poder identificar cuáles son sus competencias en este ámbito, cómo han aprendido a desarrollarlas y qué necesidades formativas ponen de manifiesto, así como las percepciones que tienen en relación con el hecho digital y la educación formal. Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño descriptivo no experimental, a través de un cuestionario de pregunta cerrada, a 86 participantes. Los datos recabados se trataron a través del programa SPSS Statistics. A partir de aquí, los resultados muestran cómo la mayoría de los futuros docentes afirma que aprendieron competencias transmedia de producción de contenidos de manera informal, pero, ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de formarse en interpretación, reflexión y evaluación de contenidos transmedia en contextos formales de aprendizaje.
Váltott gyermekgondoskodás szakértői szemmel
Authors: Monostori Judit
Published: December 2023

2022 januárjától a magyar Polgári Törvénykönyv Családjogi Könyvének módosításával a válás utáni gyermekelhelyezés jogi keretei megváltoztak. A korábbi szabályozástól eltérően a közös szülői felügyeleti jog, és ennek részeként a váltott gondoskodás már az egyik szülő kérésére is elrendelhető, míg korábban feltétele volt, hogy ebben a szülők megegyezzenek. Az új szabályozás lehetőség a bíráknak arra, hogy ha mindkét szülőt alkalmasnak találják a gyermek(ek) nevelésére, akkor a közös szülői felügyeletet és a váltott gondoskodást is elrendelhetik. Ez megváltoztathatja a válás utáni gyermekelhelyezés mintáit, mint ahogyan erre számos külföldi példát látunk. A törvénymódosítás ráirányította a figyelmet egy terjedőben lévő családi berendezkedésre: a válás utáni váltott gondoskodásra. Kutatásunkban szakértőket kérdeztünk meg arról, hogy hogyan értékelik a jogszabály-módosítást; milyen hatásokat várnak tőle; véleményük szerint, hogyan fog alakulni az ezzel kapcsolatos jogalkalmazás; hogyan vélekednek arról a társadalmi közegről (szerepek, szerepfelfogások, normák stb.), ami befolyásolhatja a váltott gondoskodás elterjedését. További kiemelt szempont volt a szakértői interjúk során a váltott gondoskodás eddigi tapasztalatainak feltérképezése. Szakértőinket különböző területekről válogattuk, így voltak közöttük ügyvédek, mediátorok, pszichológusok, jogtörténészek, különböző érdekvédelmi szervek, civil szervezetek képviselői, és interjút készítettünk egy bíróval is. Az interjúk 2021 decembere és 2022 áprilisa között készültek. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy Magyarországon a szakértők a váltott gondoskodás lassabb elterjedését várják, mivel erősen hatnak a tradicionális szülői szerepfelfogások mind az érintett népesség, mind a bíróságok körében. Hangsúlyozták azt is, hogy a váltott gondoskodás nem minden esetben szolgálja a gyermek érdekeit, de sok családban megoldás lehet arra, hogy a gyermekek a szülők válása után is szoros kapcsolatban tudjanak maradni mindkét szülővel. Ugyanakkor a gyermekek és a szülők érdekei elválhatnak egymástól, így körültekintő döntésekre van szükség a gyermekelhelyezés kérdéseiben. Kiemelték továbbá, hogy ennek érdekében a bírák, a gyámügyesek, a pszichológusok és mediátorok szorosabb együttműködésére lenne szükség.

Published: December 2023

Background: Amidst the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases and an aging populace, the demand for palliative care (PC) is escalating. Nurses, as primary caregivers in healthcare, play a pivotal role in providing PC. Assessing their current knowledge levels is crucial for devising targeted strategies to address deficiencies and enhance the quality of palliative care delivery.
Methods: A survey-based study was done in 10 nursing institute across Assam which were selected randomly after obtaining ethical committee clearance from the institute. A total of 239 participants filled the questionnaires. The questionnaire contained 2 parts; sociodemographic characteristics and palliative care quiz for nursing (PCQN) which is a validated questionnaire consisting of 20 items that measures nurses’ knowledge of palliative care. The responses to the statements in the PCQN will be: true, false, and I don’t know. A correct answer was scored 1 while an incorrect or I don’t know was scored 0, giving a maximum score of 20. A score equal to or less than ≤10 on PCQN was considered inadequate knowledge while a score >10 was considered adequate knowledge.
Results: 55% participants had adequate knowledge about palliative care and the mean PCQN score was 12.59±5.8. P value was found to be significant which means those with prior knowledge of palliative care had good score.
Conclusions: This study underscores a positive shift in palliative care awareness among nursing students, attributed to curriculum integration. However, targeted improvements are needed, especially in psychosocial and spiritual aspects, to enhance patient care and attitudes.
Religious Controversy in Vasyl Surazhsky’s «Book in Six Chapters»: New Motives and Old Prejudices
Authors: Zema Valerii
Published: December 2023

The study of «The Book in Six Chapters» in the context of texts and phenomena of the Renaissance, Reformation, and Counter-Reformation shows that it was dependent on the atmosphere of changes that prevailed at the time. The Jesuit authors’ historical excursions into the Church’s past and the course of the councils seem to have a broader connotation. The appeal to the grievances and the influence of the Roman pontiffs during the councils testified to the growing importance of public debate and the revival of political life. At the same time, the importance of documents and legal practices, which were also evident in the testimonies of past events, increased. Vasyl Surazhsky tried to respond to such challenges by looking for counter-arguments and sources to counter his Catholic and Protestant opponents. The most significant was his creation of the concept of Jerusalem as the centre of Christendom, the source of faith, and faith. Jerusalem was designated as the symbolic centre of Christianity in the face of the decline of Constantinople. Surazhsky developed the criticisms of the Latins, accusing them of Jewish influences. The influence of the Reformation on the religious controversy by Surazhsky is also researched. The use of iconographic materials to study the treatises of Ukrainian authors, which reflects the peculiarities of the Orthodox doctrine, seems fruitful.
