The predictive value of depth of invasion and tumor size on risk of neck node metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity
Authors: Jangir Naresh Kumar , Singh Akash , Jain Preeti , Khemka Shruti
Published: July 2021

Background:

Tumor depth is a reliable parameter to predict nodal metastasis in oral cancers; therefore, the authors embarked upon a prospective observational study to define the relationship between the tumor depth and the risk of cervical lymph node involvement as well to determine the optimal tumor depth cutoff point for nodal metastasis.

Aims:

The aim was to study the predictive value of depth of invasion (DOI) and tumor size on risk of cervical node metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Materials and Methods:

Biopsy-proven Stage I–Stage III oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma patients were included in this prospective, observational study. Various histopathological characteristics (DOI, tumor size, lympho-vascular invasion [LVI], perineural spread, and grade of differentiation) were analyzed to predict the cervical node metastasis.

Statistical Analysis Used:

The impact of the clinical and histopathological parameters of primary tumor on cervical lymph node metastasis was analyzed by univariate as well as multivariate logistic regression analyses using NCSS 12 version 12.0.5 statistical software.

Results:

The independent predictors of cervical lymph node metastasis were DOI (P = 0.0014) and LVI (P = 0.0414). The incidence of cervical metastasis increased markedly when the DOI was over 5 mm, and it was a statistically significant (P < 0001) association.

Conclusions:

DOI is a significant predictor of cervical nodal metastasis and tumor depth 5 mm can be considered as a cutoff value in staging and management of early oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Authors: Kumar Parveen , Patel Vishal Kanaiyalal , Tiwari Deepak Sachidanand , Vasavada Disha Alkeshbhai , Bhatt Renish Bhupendraderbhai , Chanpa Nirav Bhupendraderbhai
Published: July 2021

Background:

Problematic gaming use is prevalent among the adolescents and young adults. The awareness of problematic gaming as a behavioral addiction is low in the community.

Aims:

This study was aimed to find the prevalence of problematic gaming, gaming pattern, and perceived stress level among Indian medical graduates.

Methods:

A total of 922 undergraduate medical students participated in this cross-sectional study. Demographic details, different gaming variables, “internet gaming disorder scale short form (IGDS9),” and “Perceived stress scale” were filled by participants using the Google form.

Results:

Out of 595 students, 8.71% reported problematic gaming use. Positive correlation was observed between Internet gaming disorder score and perceived stress score (r = 0.446, P < 0.001). Male participants, younger age group, first year medical students, and participants playing more hours per day were associated with higher score on IGDS (P < 0.001). Positive correlation was observed between the duration of game play (in years) with IGDS score (r = 0.359, P < 0.001). Action games playing participants had higher score on Gaming Disorder Scale followed by simulation games playing participants (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Problematic gaming use is prevalent behavioral addiction among the medical students. Students with problematic gaming reported a high level of stress. Education and interactive workshop of problematic gaming should be conducted as a part of foundation course in the medical education.

Mapa de los grupos de investigación en comunicación en España
Authors: Gómez-Escalonilla Gloria , Caffarel-Serra Carmen
Published: July 2021

La universidad española, desde hace más de una década, apoya la creación de grupos de investigación en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales que articulen proyectos de investigación de cierta envergadura para forjar líneas consolidadas de investigación y garantizar la calidad y la excelencia en la investigación. De este empeño institucional han ido surgiendo en las diferentes disciplinas numerosos grupos de investigación con más o menos actividad e investigación en su haber, tanto en el ámbito nacional como en el internacional. Al igual que en otros campos, también en las ciencias de la comunicación se puede encontrar un elenco considerable de grupos de investigación. Los resultados del estudio realizado contabilizan un total de 213 grupos en todo el territorio nacional dedicados a investigar algún aspecto de los fenómenos comunicativos. De cada uno de estos grupos se han analizado diez y siete variables para conocer sus principales características y su actividad investigadora. De este modo, además de analizar quién o quiénes dirigen el grupo, su composición y desde qué universidad desarrollan su actividad, también se analizan las líneas principales de investigación y los proyectos y publicaciones que han realizado en los últimos diez años. Las principales conclusiones ratifican los resultados obtenidos en otros estudios que analizan otros aspectos de la investigación en comunicación: se constata cierta brecha de género, pues los grupos los dirigen más los varones que las investigadoras; y se detecta cierto centralismo territorial que privilegia las ciudades principales de la geografía española (Madrid y Barcelona).

Published: July 2021

Background: Both coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); however, their ARDS course and characteristics have not been compared, which we evaluate in our study.Methods: MERS patients with ARDS seen during the 2014 outbreak and COVID-19 patients with ARDS admitted between March and December 2020 in our hospital were included, and their clinical characteristics, ventilatory course, and outcomes were compared.Results: Forty-nine and 14 patients met the inclusion criteria for ARDS in the COVID-19 and MERS groups, respectively. Both groups had a median of four comorbidities with high Charlson comorbidity index value of 5 points (P>0.22). COVID-19 patients were older, obese, had significantly higher initial C-reactive protein (CRP), more likely to get trial of high-flow oxygen, and had delayed intubation (P≤0.04). The postintubation course was similar between the groups. Patients in both groups experienced a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, and majority received paralytics, dialysis, and vasopressor agents (P>0.28). The respiratory and ventilatory parameters after intubation (including tidal volume, fraction of inspired oxygen, peak and plateau pressures) and their progression over 3 weeks were similar (P>0.05). Rates of mortality in the ICU (53% vs. 64%) and hospital (59% vs. 64%) among COVID-19 and MERS patients (P≥0.54) were very high.Conclusions: Despite some distinctive differences between COVID-19 and MERS patients prior to intubation, the respiratory and ventilatory parameters postintubation were not different. The higher initial CRP level in COVID-19 patients may explain the steroid responsiveness in this population.
Comparative Analysis of Coronavirus Metaphoric Representation in Chinese and Russian Online Media
Authors: Kalinin Oleg
Published: July 2021

This article aims at comparing the coronavirus metaphorical image in the online media of China and the Russia. Metaphor is viewed as a cognitive frame within the discourse. The study was conducted on 750 and 1000 headlines and leads of news reports about the coronavirus for the Chinese and Russian language. The results show that the virus image is based on similar metaphorical models, but the quantitative analysis of metaphors and metaphorical entailments indicate significant differences in the virus image that media creates. The coronavirus image in the PRC media mainly represents as an enemy which should be fought, and can be defeated, what helps to cool down public opinion. The Russian media discourse treats the coronavirus as a surprise enemy that is dangerous, and it is not clear “how it can be won”.
On the Union Closed Fragment of Existential Second-Order Logic and Logics with Team Semantics
Authors: Hoelzel Matthias , Wilke Richard
Published: July 2021

We present syntactic characterisations for the union closed fragments of
existential second-order logic and of logics with team semantics. Since union
closure is a semantical and undecidable property, the normal form we introduce
enables the handling and provides a better understanding of this fragment. We
also introduce inclusion-exclusion games that turn out to be precisely the
corresponding model-checking games. These games are not only interesting in
their own right, but they also are a key factor towards building a bridge
between the semantic and syntactic fragments. On the level of logics with team
semantics we additionally present restrictions of inclusion-exclusion logic to
capture the union closed fragment. Moreover, we define a team based atom that
when adding it to first-order logic also precisely captures the union closed
fragment of existential second-order logic which answers an open question by
Galliani and Hella.

Published: July 2021

Today, it is relevant to search for new, better methods of surgical treatment of tumors and organ-preserving and video-assisted surgery is gaining more and more popularity. The aim of the study was to improve the results of surgical treatment of children with primary and secondary (metastatic) lung tumors using high-frequency live tissue welding (HF LTW) in order to increase the treatment effectiveness. Novelty of the study lies in the expanding the knowledge of the new researched method, for enhancement of survivability relatively to chemotherapy and radiation methods, that are studied in the previous works. Advantages of the introduced method are bloodless, fast, low traumatic operations 103 case reports in children with primary and metastatic lung tumors were analyzed, including 34 patients with benign and malignant lung tumors and 69 children with metastatic bronchial and pulmonary lesions undergoing treatment from 2002 to 2018 were examined. Benign lung tumors were diagnosed in 17 patients. Malignant tumors were observed in 17 patients, including 11 lung carcinoid tumors. Metastatic bronchial and pulmonary lesions most often occurred with osteosarcoma (28) and nephroblastoma (17). In 34 children with primary tumors, 37 were undergone surgical interventions. Most often, atypical resection was used – 16 (43.3%), in particular, with carcinoid – in 7 (43.8%) patients and with hamartoma – in 4 (25%) patients. In metastatic lesions, in most cases, the same resection was performed. From 58 resections 25 (43%) were performed for osteosarcoma and 15 (26%) for nephroblastoma. The HF LTW method was used in 29 patients for benign and malignant primary tumors and in 62 (73%) surgical procedures for lung metastases to remove a tumor, vascular coagulation and sealing of the lung tissue. Using HF LTW surgical operations of different directions and volumes can be performed effectively in benign, malignant and metastatic bronchial and pulmonary lesions in children.

Transhumanismo: ¿fantasía o realidad que se aproxima?
Authors: Villasmil Jorge J.
Published: July 2021

The objective of the text is to present the editorial of Volume 39, number 69 of the July-December issue of Political Issues. In general, the transhumanist movement is presented to us as a philosophical and ontological proposal won to overcome the limitations of the human condition. So that more than a finished and static entity, the human condition or, human nature, is assumed as an ever-unfinished process that must be improved essentially by natural (evolution) or artificial (technology) means as a condition of possibility to bring humanity to a higher historical stage of its collective existence. These arguments allow us to conclude that, in the near future, the voluntary integration into the body and mind of scientific advances in nanorobotics, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and quantum computing, among others, will turn the human person into a different being, therefore, it is appropriate to ask What contributions can law, political science and social sciences in general make to orient these processes to a framework of justice, dignity and equity for the benefit of humanity as a whole and not of political and ideological projects in the face of the construction of a hegemony?
Valores jurídicos en la Regulación Penal de la Competencia Desleal en Ecuador
Authors: Núñez Grijalva Jorge
Published: July 2021

In all areas of the legal world there are higher aspirations, which represent legal values to be protected, like the justice, the common good and legal security stand out. The present work was proposed to analyze if the Ecuadorian Legislator, in its process of construction and promulgation of the criminal law regulating against the unfair competition, incorporated these three values into it. Regrettably, the results show an apparent absence of the three legal values in criminal law, leaving legal operators at a disadvantage in view of the need to control this type of crime and society, awaiting compliance. Through an exercise of legal hermeneutics, the study starts from a real problem in the Ecuadorian legal system of the criminal law against of the unfair competition, which demands to be discussed in the search for the State to take the necessary measures to solve this problem.
Unconstitutionality of criminal liability for filing inaccurate information in Ukraine: сritical legal analyses
Authors: Vozniuk Andrii , Kamensky Dmitriy , Dudorov Olexandr , Movchan Roman , Andrushko Andriy
Published: July 2021

The investigation reveals shortcomings in the arguments of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on the recognition of article 366-1 of the Criminal Code as not being in conformity with the Constitution, in terms of:(a) the court's lack of authority to criminalize socially dangerous acts; (b) lack of argumentation on the absence of social harm in the non-submission of a declaration and in the presentation of inaccurate information; (c) positive foreign experience; (d) conformity of article 366-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with the principle of the rule of law. The article employs a set of legal research methods, including terminological, systemic-structural, formal-logical, and comparative-legal. It is stressed that:(a) the criminalization of a socially harmful act is a matter for the legislator, not the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, to decide; (b) the decision does not present or refute any argument on the element of social harmfulness relating to the non-submission of a declaration and the declaration of inaccurate information. On the basis of the investigation, it has been concluded that the decision of the Constitutional Court on the recognition of article 366-1 of the Criminal Code does not comply with the Constitution and has not been sufficiently substantiated.
Doublethink and Anomie: ethical and political context
Authors: Kuzmenkov Vladimir A. , Soina Iryna Yu.
Published: July 2021

The objective of the study was the phenomenon of doublethinking as a special form of anomic thinking. Doublethinking leads to a distortion of the perception and appreciation of political reality, which is expressed in the inaccuracy of information about the surrounding world. In methodological terms, the ethical theory of Alasdair McIntyre and the idea of doublethinking of G. Orwell were used. This allows us to conclude that in our time there is a crisis of values, which consists in the simultaneous presence of two normative-value systems in the human mind. One of them is inherited by the idea of modern humanity from Christianity; the second, which is preferred by many, was created by utilitarianism. This makes it possible to formally recognize, in words, socially approved values, norms and objectives, while at the same time devaluing them in actions, replacing them with the principle of personal gain. As a result, a new political language is emerging newspeak. The desire for constructive public action, mutual help, respect, and altruism is replaced by corruption, hypocrisy, opportunism, the decline of professionalism and productivity, the negative selection of political elites.

Published: July 2021

The article examines the place and role of the Constitutional Court in the system of public powers in the doctrinal understanding of the concept of human rights and constitutionalism. The Constitution of the Russian Federation establishes the basic constitutional and legal principles that are fundamental to substantive and procedural law. Judicial constitutional review, as the experience of European countries shows, is the most effective in protecting the Constitution. The principles of law applied to the doctrinal assessment of the place and role of the Constitutional Court in the system of public powers constitute a rather dynamic legal concept. The methodology is based on the legal system, public relations, and the political-state course, which, like all fundamental ideas, change, affect legal awareness and establish new requirements for legal regulation and the formation of an appropriate mechanism. The article concludes that the most important condition for the implementation of the prerogatives of the judiciary to administer justice in the consideration and resolution of specific cases, with emphasis on the study and evaluation of evidence. It is the evidence that serves as the basis of information for the court's findings in the case.

Authors: Muradian Lusine Ovakimovna , Dzhuma Abbas Mohammadovich , Nzhipuakuyu Ntentie Mari , Kasem Salekh Khussein Madzhid
Published: July 2021

From a documentary perspective the article addresses issues such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, separatism in the USSR and the existence of similar destructive processes in modern Russia. Special attention is paid to the role of the media in the collapse of the USSR. The goal was to find out whether the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of New Russia were inevitable. Consequently, the additional objectives of the article are to identify the main reasons for the collapse of the USSR, to draw an analogy with the situation in modern Russia, to analyze propaganda techniques by examining the Moscow News newspaper, and to study and generalize the main problems of inter-ethnic dialogue in the Soviet and post-Soviet space. The relevance of the topic is justified by the lack of a unified view in the community of experts on the causes and consequences of the collapse of the USSR, as well as by the lack of a unified assessment of the period of Perestroika and the inevitability of the transition from socialism to capitalism in Russia. It is concluded that in the geopolitical phenomenon of the collapse of the USSR occupies a special role the national and international media dimension.

Published: July 2021

The objective of the article was to analyze the process of criminal prosecution of people accused of committing crimes against the banking sector in the Russian Federation. Detecting such crimes, identifying the people who committed them in and compensating for the damages caused by such acts is the most difficult task for law enforcement officials in Russia. The most important part of these activities are procedural questions about the timing of the commencement of criminal proceedings and the procedure for their implementation in pre-trial proceedings. The methodological basis of this research is formed by the processing of the results of criminal cases, the results of surveys of researchers and detectives, members of the educational and methodological group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The authors have proposed the drafting of article 5, paragraph 55, of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and its corresponding amendments to article 11. It is concluded that these contributions will make it possible to carry out the procedural work on compensation for damages caused by a crime in a much more effective manner.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to identify problems in performing the functions of the investigating judge related to the protection of human rights and freedoms during detention and to offer solutions to them. The study is based on the use of methods of sampling and prognosis; system approach; descriptive statistics; comparison and collation; descriptive analysis method. We found out that the restriction of certain rights and freedoms of a person, detained on suspicion of having committed a crime, is quite legitimate, but some rights are violated due to abuse of police authority. The right to liberty and the right to security of person, the right to effective remedy and fair trial, and the right to respect for private and family life are most often violated during detention. Judicial control should be carried out in compliance with the following principles: immediacy, automaticity, conducting trial proceedings within a reasonable time. In order to universalize judicial control over the protection of human rights and freedoms during detention, we propose to develop an international legal document, regulating the conduct of judicial control.

In this study, using the descriptive-analytical method, we discuss the main factors in the formation of the Yemen crisis, as well as the attitudes of the two Arab states and of the two neighboring countries, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, in the Yemen crisis. It is concluded that this crisis stems not only from the role of local actors, but also from the role of regional and global actors, who played a decisive role in shaping and exacerbating the Yemen crisis. Regional players in the post-2015 crisis include the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which showed contradictory behavior. Saudi Arabia's targets in its attack on Yemen have a greater military and security dimension. The political and economic objectives of the United Arab Emirates, which is Riyadh's most important ally in this war, have been at a different level from those of Saudi Arabia. This can be seen in Abu Dubai Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed's aspirations to expand his country's influence, to become a major player in the region.

The objective of the article was to analyze the legal regulation of the decentralization reform in Eastern Europe and its impact on the unemployment rate. Methodologically, statistical analysis, hypothetical-deductive method and correlation were used. It was found that the first stage of the reform of the New Civil Service in Poland, Ukraine, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Latvia, and Bulgaria began in 1990, but can be called an informal preparatory stage. It is determined that the process of implementation of administrative reforms is influenced by a series of factors: historical, economic, geographical. It is concluded that there is no positive correlation between the effectiveness of public administration and the effectiveness of local self-government in all the countries studied. The reform of decentralization has been shown to have a negative impact on employment. In addition, it found that Poland is the most stable country among those studied, with a high level of efficiency of local self-government. La more negative correlation between the efficiency index of local self-government and employment, and the most positive correlation between local and unemployment rate.

San Agustín: Perenne candil que ilumina a la Iglesia
Authors: Morillo Rey Pablo Antonio
Published: July 2021

A lo largo de la historia de la Iglesia, podemos comprobar cómo el magisterio agustiniano se convirtió en una constante, que perdura hasta nuestros días. Así, san Agustín ha sido (es y será) una “inagotable fuente” de inspiración tanto para Pontífices como para numerosos documentos eclesiales. De esta forma, en el presente artículo analizamos —entre otros aspectos— tanto la encíclica Lumen Fidei (29 Junio de 2013) como la Nueva edición del Directorio para la vida y ministerio de los presbíteros (11 Febrero de 2013), ambos documentos influenciados e ilustrados con el magisterio del santo obispo de Hipona, magisterio que —como bien señaló el beato Juan Pablo II en su encíclica Augustinum Hipponensem— debe continuar “en la Iglesia y en el mundo a beneficio de la cultura y de la fe” (Conclusión).

Published: July 2021

Admittedly, the respiratory picture remains the most classic, however, covid 19 is lately considered to be a vasculitis affecting several organs, and therefore which is the origin of other extra-pulmonary manifestations, in particular thromboembolic disease (both venous and arterial) which has increasingly become a dramatic complication to be feared during this pandemic, due to its negative impact on the prognosis of affected patients, increasing the need for a resuscitation environment and the death rate. The mechanism is multifactorial, associating endothelial damage, an abnormality of hemostasis, and immunothrobosis [1]. We report the case of a 52-year-old young patient who had an acute ischemia of his left lower limb, by embolization of a thrombus located in the left ventricle, during his involvement by covid 19 and who was taken in charge immediately. The interest of this observation is to shed light on this complication which often accompanies infection by covid 19, which has become, not only a respiratory disease, but also a vasculiritis with its significant risk of thromboembolism.
