Mengulik Pemikiran Alfred N. Whitehead Tentang Kebudayaan
Authors: Sudarminta Justin
Published: November 2020

Abstract: This article attempts to formulate Alfred N. Whitehead’s thoughts on culture. Even though he never specifically wrote on culture, his thoughts on it can be gleaned and constructed from his major books. The article will be divided into three parts. First, by borrowing some ideas from David L. Hall’s book The Civilization of Experience: A Whiteheadian Theory of Culture, I shall try to formulate what Whitehead means by culture. Second, I shall describe what Hall termes “cultural aims” and “cultural interests” in the perspective of Whitehead’s thought. Third, I shall address some important points in Whitehead’s critique of modern culture and the alternative he proposed. Finally, I shall point out some major conclusions that can be derived from our study of Whitehead’s thoughts on culture.

Keywords: Culture, cultural aims, cultural interests, modern culture, civilized society, art, adventure, beauty, truth, peace.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini berupaya merumuskan pemikiran Whitehead tentang kebudayaan. Kendati ia tidak pernah secara khusus menulis tentang kebudayaan, namun pemikirannya dapat diulik dan coba dirumuskan dari berbagai karya pokoknya. Tulisan akan dibagi menjadi tiga bagian. Pertama, dengan memanfaatkan kajian yang pernah dibuat oleh David L. Hall dalam bukunya The Civilization of Experience. A Whiteheadian Theory of Culture, penulis akan merumuskan pengertian kebudayaan menurut Whitehead. Kedua, penulis akan memaparkan apa yang oleh Hall disebut “cita-cita budaya” dan “kepentingan budaya” dalam perpektif pemikiran Whitehead. Ketiga, penulis akan membahas beberapa butir penting dari kritik Whitehead terhadap budaya modern berikut alternatif yang ia tawarkan. Tulisan ini akan ditutup dengan beberapa kesimpulan yang dapat ditarik dari kajian mengenai pemikiran Whitehead tentang kebudayaan.

Kata-kata Kunci: Kebudayaan, cita-cita budaya, kepentingan budaya, budaya modern, masyarakat berkeadaban, seni, petualangan , keindahan, kebenaran, kedamaian.
Pandangan Johann Baptist Metz Tentang Politik Perdamaian Berbasis Compassio
Authors: Kleden Paul Budi
Published: November 2020

Abstract: The plurality of cultures and religions is one of the most difficult challenges our world has to face at present. Tensions in various forms have become daily news, which puts into question our ability and willingness to share this planet earth as our common place to live together. There is not only a need to  develop the best strategy to live together, but also to find fundamental arguments for conviviality. This article presents the ideas of Johann Baptist Metz, a  German theologian, on a politic based on compassion. Memoria passionis, remembering the suffering, especially that of others, is the basis for constructing a new politics of peace.

Keywords: Politics, compassion, plurality, victim, suffering, memory.

 

Abstrak: Salah satu dari tantangan terbesar yang sedang dihadapi masyarakat dunia dewasa ini adalah ketidaksanggupan berbagai kelompok untuk  menanggapi pluralitas kebudayaan dan agama. Kemajemukan bukanlah realitas baru. Yang baru adalah intensitas pengalaman kemajemukan itu. Berbagai ketegangan hingga konflik berdarah menjadi berita harian yang mempertanyakan kemampuan dan kesediaan kita untuk berbagi hidup di atas bumi ini dengan orang-orang yang berbeda budaya dan agama. Menghadapi masalah ini, kita tidak hanya perlu mengembangkan strategi yang paling baik untuk dapat hidup bersama secara damai dan adil, tetapi juga membutuhkan pengembangan argumen-argumen yang memberikan pendasaran bagi strategi tersebut. Artikel ini hendak memperkenalkan pandangan Johann Baptist Metz, seorang teolog berkebangsaan Jerman, tentang politik yang berbasiskan compassio. Memoria passionis, mengenang penderitaan, khususnya penderitaan orang lain, merupakan dasar untuk membangun sebuah politik perdamaian bagi dunia.

 

Kata-kata Kunci: Politik, compassio, pluralitas, korban, penderitaan, kenangan.

The article reveals the problem of the correlation of public and private financial interests in the process of acquiring apartments by state and municipal customers. The legal approaches to the solution of this problem are presented using example of arbitration practice. In order to maintain a balance of public and private financial interests within the framework of the procurement contract system, it is proposed to purchase new apartments or in the secondary market exclusively from the owners (ownership of real estate is registered), the interests of which will be represented, if necessary, by attorneys or agents.
About International Sports Justice
Authors:   Kazan Branch of Russian State University of Justice (Kazan), Samovich Yu. V.
Published: November 2020

Justice, as a model of equity, is becoming an extremely demanded way of clarifying the relations of counterparties in most spheres of human life. This time, the question will be about sports disputes, whose appearance provoked first a «doping scandal» with Russian athletes, and then, no less scandalous proceedings of the Sports Arbitration Court. The purpose of this article is to conduct a review of sports disputes considered in international instances to analyze the objectivity and adequacy of the existing procedure for the consideration of sports disputes and the possibility of developing uniform rules and the existence of grounds for considering sports disputes in the European Court of Human Rights The author used for this such methods: – induction: based on an analysis of the consideration of sports disputes at the ECHR, it was concluded that the practice does not meet the requirements of the principle of respect for human rights, – deduction: a hypothesis of contradictions is formulated in the framework of the consideration of disputes by sports organizations and judicial institutions, statistical analysis: comparison and generalization of statistical data on the considered cases, – formal legal: analysis of the practice of judicial and quasi-judicial institutions for the consideration of sports cases. As a hypothesis, the thesis is put forward that the existing procedures of sports organizations violate the rights of the individual, justifying this fact with the specifics of such procedures as anti-doping checks, etc.

Saccadic scanpath length: an index for human threat conditioning
Authors: Xia Yanfang , Melinscak Filip , Bach Dominik R.
Published: November 2020

Threat-conditioned cues are thought to capture overt attention in a bottom-up process. Quantification of this phenomenon typically relies on cue competition paradigms. Here, we sought to exploit gaze patterns during exclusive presentation of a visual conditioned stimulus, in order to quantify human threat conditioning. To this end, we capitalized on a summary statistic of visual search during CS presentation, scanpath length. During a simple delayed threat conditioning paradigm with full-screen monochrome conditioned stimuli (CS), we observed shorter scanpath length during CS+ compared to CS- presentation. Retrodictive validity, i.e., effect size to distinguish CS+ and CS-, was maximized by considering a 2-s time window before US onset. Taking into account the shape of the scan speed response resulted in similar retrodictive validity. The mechanism underlying shorter scanpath length appeared to be longer fixation duration and more fixation on the screen center during CS+ relative to CS- presentation. These findings were replicated in a second experiment with similar setup, and further confirmed in a third experiment using full-screen patterns as CS. This experiment included an extinction session during which scanpath differences appeared to extinguish. In a fourth experiment with auditory CS and instruction to fixate screen center, no scanpath length differences were observed. In conclusion, our study suggests scanpath length as a visual search summary statistic, which may be used as complementary measure to quantify threat conditioning with retrodictive validity similar to that of skin conductance responses.
Tumor Cells and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: A Synergistic Crosstalk to Promote Thyroid Cancer
Authors: Fozzatti Laura , Cheng Sheue-yann
Published: November 2020

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Although most thyroid cancer patients are successfully treated and have an excellent prognosis, a percentage of these patients will develop aggressive disease and, eventually, progress to anaplastic thyroid cancer. Since most patients with this type of aggressive thyroid carcinoma will die from the disease, new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Tumor cells live in a complex and dynamic tumor microenvironment composed of different types of stromal cells. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the most important cell components in the tumor microenvironment of most solid tumors, including thyroid cancer. CAFs originate mainly from mesenchymal cells and resident fibroblasts that are activated and reprogrammed in response to paracrine factors and cytokines produced and released by tumor cells. Upon reprogramming, which is distinguished by the expression of different marker proteins, CAFs synthesize and secret soluble factors. The secretome of CAFs directly impacts different functions of tumor cells. This bi-directional interplay between CAFs and tumor cells within the tumor microenvironment ends up fostering tumor cancer progression. CAFs are therefore key regulators of tumor progression and represent an under-explored therapeutic target in thyroid cancer.
Artificial Intelligence, Big Data as Institutions of New Technological Generation of Economy
Authors: Osipov Yuriy , Yudina Tamara , Kupchishuna Elena
Published: November 2020

The paper attempts to analyze artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data phenomenon as institutions of new technological generation of economy, referring to A. P. Loktev’s concept of ‘Internet as metainstitution’. The represented institutional conception of artificial intelligence is based on A. A. Zinoviev’s fundamental intellectology study as an integrated set of all sciences. The authors confirm that weakening of natural intelligence in the contemporary world is offset by artificial intelligence development within the framework of digit-induced technology. The research evolves Yu.M. Osipov’s thesis that artificial intelligence is closer to modern neuro=cyber=technicized human being than to robotized technics as it is. The article provides the findings on artificial intelligence and Big Data drawing on evidence from Russia and some European countries. The authors identify the reasons for institutional traps mostly presented in the form of inefficient institutions that run contrary to certain human rights and emerge with introduction of artificial intelligence into the economic activity.
MODELLING THE HELICOPTER ROTOR AERODYNAMICS AT FORWARD FLIGHT WITH FREE WAKE MODEL AND URANS METHOD
Authors: Ignatkin Yuri , Makeev Pavel , Konstantinov Sergey , Shomov Alexander
Published: November 2020

The presented work is dedicated to the numerical study of the aerodynamic characteristics of the helicopter rotor. Two approaches to modeling of the rotor are applied: the free wake model developed by the Authors with using steady airfoil characteristics and the Unsteady RANS method based on the Ansys Fluent software. The modes of hovering and horizontal flight in the range of advancing ratio μ = (0-0.45) are considered. The shapes of the rotor wake, the distributions of the normal force coefficient and the fields of inductive velocities for all considered flight modes are calculated. For a particular case with μ = 0.25 there is a comparison with experimental data. The time needed for calculation of the applied methods is estimated. Accuracy of the used methods in the framework of the solved task is analysed with taking into account used models assumptions. It is shown that in the range of μ = (0-0.25) the free wake model provides a fast and reliable calculation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the helicopter rotor. For values of μ > 0.35 it is necessary to take into account the unsteady characteristics of the airfoil.
A Geometric Origin for Quasi-periodic Oscillations in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries
Authors: Rana Prerna , Mangalam A.
Published: November 2020

We expand the relativistic precession model to include nonequatorial and eccentric trajectories and apply it to quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) and associate their frequencies with the fundamental frequencies of the general case of nonequatorial (with Carter's constant,

) and eccentric (

) particle trajectories, around a Kerr black hole. We study cases with either two or three simultaneous QPOs and extract the parameters {e, r

p
, a, Q}, where r

p
is the periastron distance of the orbit, and a is the spin of the black hole. We find that the orbits with

should have e ≲ 0.5 and r

p
 ∼ 2–20 for the observed range of QPO frequencies, where a ∈ [0, 1], and that the spherical trajectories {e = 0,

} with Q = 2–4 should have r

s
 ∼ 3–20. We find nonequatorial eccentric solutions for both M82 X-1 and GROJ 1655-40. We see that these trajectories, when taken together, span a torus region and give rise to a strong QPO signal. For two simultaneous QPO cases, we found equatorial eccentric orbit solutions for XTEJ 1550-564, 4U 1630-47, and GRS 1915+105, and spherical orbit solutions for BHXRBs M82 X-1 and XTEJ 1550-564. We also show that the eccentric orbit solution fits the Psaltis–Belloni–Klis correlation observed in BHXRB GROJ 1655-40. Our analysis of the fluid flow in the relativistic disk edge suggests that instabilities cause QPOs to originate in the torus region. We also present some useful formulae for trajectories and frequencies of spherical and equatorial eccentric orbits.
Relativistic Shear Boundary Layer and the Gamma-Ray Emission of GW170817
Authors: Spisak Jacob , Liang Edison , Fu Wen , Boettcher Markus
Published: November 2020

We present an analysis of the radiation characteristics of kinetic shear boundary layers created by relativistic plasma jets. Using a model of electromagnetic field data based on particle-in-cell simulations of an electron–ion plasma, we solve the motion of individual test electrons and compute their instantaneous radiated power and peak frequency. By analyzing a large number of test electrons in this manner, we find two distinct electron populations present around the shear boundary layer. The most highly radiative electrons execute looping motion due to crossed electric and magnetic fields as they are accelerated along the bulk flow of the jet, and eventually cross the shear boundary interface at steep angles. Electrons that never cross the shear boundary interface radiate much less energy as a group. Summing over all of the highly radiative electrons, we compute the distribution of the total radiated energy as a function of the angle relative to the bulk flow. This result has important potential implications for the observed radiation output of short gamma-ray bursts viewed at large angles from the jet axis, such as the neutron star merger event GW170817/GRB 170817A.

Published: November 2020

We present a study of outflows at extremely early stages of high-mass star formation obtained from the ALMA Survey of 70 μm dark High-mass clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). Twelve massive 3.6−70 μm dark prestellar clump candidates were observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Band 6. Forty-three outflows are identified toward 41 out of 301 dense cores using the CO and SiO emission lines, yielding a detection rate of 14%. We discover six episodic molecular outflows associated with low- to high-mass cores, indicating that episodic outflows (and therefore episodic accretion) begin at extremely early stages of protostellar evolution for a range of core masses. The time span between consecutive ejection events is much smaller than those found in more evolved stages, which indicates that the ejection episodicity timescale is likely not constant over time. The estimated outflow dynamical timescale appears to increase with core masses, which likely indicates that more massive cores have longer accretion timescales than less massive cores. The lower accretion rates in these 70 μm dark objects compared to the more evolved protostars indicate that the accretion rates increase with time. The total outflow energy rate is smaller than the turbulent energy dissipation rate, which suggests that outflow-induced turbulence cannot sustain the internal clump turbulence at the current epoch. We often detect thermal SiO emission within these 70 μm dark clumps that is unrelated to CO outflows. This SiO emission could be produced by collisions, intersection flows, undetected protostars, or other motions.
Caltech–NRAO Stripe 82 Survey (CNSS). III. The First Radio-discovered Tidal Disruption Event, CNSS J0019+00

Published: November 2020

We present the discovery of a nuclear transient with the Caltech–NRAO Stripe 82 Survey (CNSS), a dedicated radio transient survey carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). This transient, CNSS J001947.3+003527, exhibited a turn-on over a timescale of ≲1 yr, increasing in flux density at 3 GHz from <0.14 mJy in 2014 February to 4.4 ± 0.1 mJy in 2015 March, reaching a peak luminosity of

around 2015 October. The association of CNSS J0019+00 with the nucleus (Gaia and our very-long baseline interferometry positions are consistent to within 1 pc) of a nearby S0 Seyfert galaxy at 77 Mpc, together with the radio spectral evolution, implies that this transient is most likely a tidal disruption event (TDE). Our equipartition analysis indicates the presence of a ∼15,000 km s−1 outflow, having energy ∼1049 erg. We derive the radial density profile for the circumnuclear material in the host galaxy to be proportional to R
−2.5. All of these properties suggest resemblance with radio-detected thermal TDEs like ASASSN-14li and XMMSL1 J0740-85. No significant X-ray or optical emission is detected from CNSS J0019+00, although this may simply be due to the thermal emission being weak during our late-time follow-up observations. From the CNSS survey we have obtained the first unbiased measurement of the rate of radio TDEs, R(>500μJy) of about 2 × 10−3 deg−2, or equivalently a volumetric rate of about 10 Gpc−3 yr−1. This rate implies that all-sky radio surveys such as the VLA Sky Survey and those planned with ASKAP, will find many tens of radio TDEs over the next few years.
Clumping in the Winds of Wolf–Rayet Stars
Authors: Chené André-Nicolas , St-Louis Nicole , Moffat Anthony F. J. , Gayley Kenneth G.
Published: November 2020

We attempt to determine the driver for clumping in hot-star winds by extending the measure of the spectral variability level of Galactic Wolf–Rayet stars to by far the hottest known among them, the WN2 star WR 2 and the WO2 stars WR 102 and WR 142. These three stars have T
⋆ = 140 and 200 kK, the last two being well above the bulk of WR stars with T
⋆ ∼ 40–120 kK. This full temperature range for WR stars is much broader than that of their O-star progenitors (∼30–50 kK), so is better suited to look for any temperature dependence of wind clumping. We have obtained multiple observations with high signal-to-noise, moderate-resolution spectroscopy in search of small-scale variability in the strong emission lines from the dense winds of these three extreme stars, and find a very low-level of variability in both stars. Temperature and terminal velocity are correlated, so faster winds show a lower variability, though this trend goes against any predictions made involving Line Deshadowing Instability (LDI) only, implying that instabilities intrinsic to LDI are not the main source of wind clumping. Instead, it could be taken as support for the suggestion that clumps are caused by a subsurface convection zone (SSCZ) at T ∼ 170 kK, since such an SSCZ would have little opportunity to operate under the hydrostatic surface of these hottest WR stars. It is still possible, however, that an SSCZ-related driver could interact with nonlinear line instability effects to enhance or possibly even produce clumps.
HCN J = 4–3, HNC J = 1–0, H13CN J = 1–0, and HC3N J = 10–9 Maps of Galactic Center Region. II. Physical Properties of Dense-gas Clumps and Probability of Star Formation

Published: November 2020

We report a statistical analysis exploring the origin of the overall low star formation efficiency (SFE) of the Galactic central molecular zone (CMZ) and the SFE diversity among the CMZ clouds using a wide-field HCN J = 4–3 map, whose optically thin critical density (

) is the highest among the tracers ever used in CMZ surveys. Logistic regression is performed to empirically formulate star formation probability of 195 HCN clumps, 13 of which contain star formation signatures. The explanatory parameters in the best-fit model are reduced into the virial parameter

without significant contribution from other parameters, whereas the performance of the model without

is no better than that using randomly generated data. The threshold

is 6, which translates into a volume density (

) of

with the

–

correlation. The scarcity of the low-

clumps, whose fraction to all HCN clumps is 0.1, can be considered as one of the immediate causes of the suppressed SFE. No correlation between the clump size or mass and star formation probability is found, implying that HCN J = 4–3 does not immediately trace the mass of star-forming gas above a threshold density. Meanwhile, star-forming and non-star-forming clouds are degenerate in the physical parameters of the CS 

 = 1–0 clouds, highlighting the efficacy of the HCN 

 = 4–3 line to probe star-forming regions in the CMZ. The timescale of the high-

to low-

transition is

, which is consistent with the tidal compression and X1/X2 orbit transition models but possibly does not fit the cloud–cloud collision picture.
Mysterious Globular Cluster System of the Peculiar Massive Galaxy M85

Published: November 2020

We present a study on the stellar population and kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) in the peculiar galaxy M85. We obtain optical spectra of 89 GCs at 8 kpc < R < 160 kpc using the MMT/Hectospec. We divide them into three groups, blue/green/red GCs (B/G/RGCs), with their (g − i)0 colors. All GC subpopulations have mean ages of about 10 Gyr, but showing differences in metallicities. The BGCs and RGCs are the most metal-poor ([Z/H] ∼ −1.49) and metal-rich ([Z/H] ∼ −0.45), respectively, and the GGCs are in between. We find that the inner GC system exhibits a strong overall rotation that is entirely due to a disklike rotation of the RGC system. The BGC system shows little rotation. The GGCs show kinematic properties clearly distinct among the GC subpopulations, having higher mean velocities than the BGCs and RGCs and being aligned along the major axis of M85. This implies that the GGCs have an origin different from the other GC subpopulations. The rotation-corrected velocity dispersion of the RGC system is much lower than that of the BGC system, indicating the truncation of the red halo of M85. The BGCs have a flat velocity dispersion profile out to R = 67 kpc, reflecting the dark matter extent of M85. Using the velocity dispersion of the BGC system, we estimate the dynamical mass of M85 to be 3.8 × 1012
M
⊙. We infer that M85 has undergone merging events lately, resulting in the peculiar kinematics of the GC system.
Vis–NIR Reflectance Microspectroscopy of IDPs
Authors: Maupin Romain , Djouadi Zahia , Brunetto Rosario , Lantz Cateline , Aléon-Toppani Alice , Vernazza Pierre
Published: November 2020

Visible near-infrared (Vis–NIR) reflectance spectroscopy is a powerful nondestructive technique allowing the parent bodies identification of cosmomaterials such as meteorites, micrometeorites, and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) studied in the laboratory. Previous studies showed that meteorites do not represent the full diversity of the solar system small bodies. We present here an experimental setup we developed for measuring Vis–NIR microspectroscopy of individual IDPs. We acquired diffuse Vis–NIR reflectance spectra of 15 particles ranging 7–31 μm in size. We discuss the requirements, the abilities, as well as the limitations of the technique. For sizes smaller than 17 μm, the slopes increase with decreasing particles sizes, while for sizes larger than 17 μm, the slopes are randomly distributed. The visible reflectance levels do not appear to be affected by the size of the IDPs, and show a bimodal distribution. Among the studied particles, we identified an IDP (L2079C18) exhibiting a feature at 0.66 μm, which is similar to the one observed by remote sensing on the surface of hydrated asteroids. This is the first detection of a hydration band in the reflectance spectrum of an IDP that could indicate a possible link between hydrated IDPs with hydrated asteroid surfaces.

Материјал и методи:  Студијата е дизајнирана како дескриптивно–аналитичка студија на пресек, во која беше применет јавноздравствен пристап, информатичко-аналитичен метод и метод на синтеза на евиденција (evidence synthesis) за анализа на релевантната легислатива. Беше спроведено  анкетно истражување на репрезентативен стратифициран примерок на пациенти во Полошкиот Регион, во период од два месеци, октомври-ноември во 2017 година, во Клиничката болница во Тетово и Општата болница во Гостивар. Резултати: Беше анализиран правниот систем на Република Македонија и беше спореден со 6 држави во транзиција, кои претрпеа низа суштински реформи во последниве години. Легислативната рамка во Република Македонија претставува сеопфатна рамка за заштита на правата на пациентот, со која на пациентот му се загарантирани законски права во процесот на лекувањето, почитувањето и заштитата на неговата личност и интегритет. Во овој труд имплементацијата на правата на пациентите во пракса беше анализирана преку имплементацијата на две права на пациентите, и тоа: право на информираност за препорачаните медицински интервенции и право на прифаќање и одбивање на определена медицинска интервенција. 85,2% од анкетираните пациенти имале информации за правото на информираност за препорачаните медицински интервенции, а 14,8% немале. 72,1% од анкетираните пациенти имале лично искуство за ова право, додека 27,9% немале. Во однос на правото на прифаќање и одбивање на определена медицинска интервенција, 77% од анкетираните пациенти имале информации за ова право, а 23% немале. Значително помало беше личното искуство за ова право, односно само 32,8% од анкетираните пациенти имале лично искуство, а 67,2% немале. Разликите беа сигнификантни во одговорите за двете права, и за информацијата и за личното искуство. Заклучок: Човековите права во здравствената заштита во Република Македонија се рефлектирани во националната легислатива која е хармонизирана со европската и меѓународната. Меѓутоа,  потребно е подобрување на имплементацијата на правата на пациентите во пракса, преку подигнување на свеста на граѓаните за познавање на правата на пациентите и поттикнување на медицинскиот персонал за почитување на правата на пациентите

Authors: Grigorova Evgenija , Ristovska Gordana
Published: November 2020

Speech communication is complex and is based on the integrity of the central nervous system (CNS) function, as well as the speech mechanisms that are conditioned and controlled by an auditory perception, verbal memory, intellectual activity, but also by the peripheral speech apparatus. If there is a deviation from this integrated complex system in its perfect functioning, speech disorders occur. The aim of the paper was to make a literature review that provides scientific evidence of the most frequent phonological articulation disorders in pre-school children and their public health impact. Materials and Methods: Search in the available databases, such as Pubmed, Google scholar, as well as a review of the references in the papers, doctoral dissertations and master thesis. The following search terms were used: speech, language, disorders, dysphasia, dyslalia, aphasia, public health. Results: A total of  90 abstracts were found, all of them were read and 15 were selected as appropriate for the purpose of our research, as well as in extenso papers that were found and analyzed for this review. Conclusions: According to the available scientific evidence, the development of speech and language is a useful indicator of the overall development of the child, and the cognitive ability is related to the success of the school, and therefore the academic development. This rationale supports pre-school speech and language screening as a part of the basic language routine care for children. Public health impact will be reduced through timely diagnosis, prompt detection, prevention and removal of all factors leading to permanent speech disorders.

Целта на оваа студија беше да се утврди корелацијата помеѓу КЕП (Кариес, Екстракција, Пломба) индексот на 12-годишни деца и концентрацијата на флуорот во водата за пиење од населените места каде што децата живеат. Материјал и методи: Во испитувањето беа опфатени 129 ученици од 2 централни и 2 подрачни основни училишта, на кои им се одреди КЕП индексот. Децата живеат во градот Струмица и 3 различни села. Деветнаесет примероци на вода беа земени од испитуваната област за да се одреди концентрацијата на флуор со помош на електрохемиски метод користејќи го јонометарот (pH/ISE meter-Thermo-Orion) со специјална Ф-електрода (Thermo Orion Ion Plus Fluoride Electrode) на Институтот за јавно здравје. За одредување на корелацијата помеѓу одредените варијабли беше користен Spearman-овиот метод. Резултати: Вкупниот број деца во испитуваниот примерок изнесуваше 129, од кои 59 (45,7%) беа од женски и 70 (54,3%) од машки пол. Просечниот КЕП индекс кај оваа група деца изнесуваше 1,94,  со стандардна девијација од ±2,5. Максимални концентрации на флуор во водата за пиење од 1,36 ppmF беа утврдени во селото Банско и од 0,36 ppmF во селото Муртино, додека минимални (0,08 ppmF) во градот Струмица. Корелацијата помеѓу вредноста на КЕП индексот кај децата на возраст од 12 години од Југоисточниот регион и концентрацијата на флуорот во водата за пиење постоеше негативна, индиректна корелација, со вредност на коефициентот r =-0,16. Заклучок: Корелацијата помеѓу КЕП индексот и концентрацијата на водата за пиење е негативна, индиректна корелација, и оваа корелација е статистички значајна (p˂ 0,05).

Спастицитетот на шаката по мозочен удар ги зголемува тешкотиите на болните во секојдневното самозгрижување и ја ограничува ефикасноста на рехабилитацијата. Радијалната екстракорпорална терапија со ударни бранови (РЕКТУБ) е предложена како алтернативен третман за редукција на спастицитетот. Целта на истражувањето беше да се евалуираат ефектите од апликација на РЕКТУБ на спастична шака по мозочен удар. Материјал и методи: Контролирана клиничка студија во која беа вклучени 30 пациенти со спастична шака по мозочен удар, поделени во две групи. Испитуваната група беше третирана со РЕКТУБ (6 третмани секој втор или трет ден) и стандардна рехабилитациона програма. Контролната група беше третирана само со стандарднарехабилитациона програма. За клиничка евалуација беа користени Модифицираната Ашфорт Сакала (МАС) и супскорот за моторно закрепнување од Фугл-Мајер тестот за процена на сензомоторната функција на горен екстремитет и тоа пред третманот, по завршување на 2-та, 6-та и 14-та недела од почетокот на рехабилитацијата. Резултати: Средната вредност на оцената на МАС беше значително намалена кај испитуваната група веднаш по РЕКТУБ. Кај испитуваната група се забележа значително подобрување на скорот за  моторно закрепнување на Фугл-Мајертестот. Овие резултати се задржаа 12 недели по третманот. Заклучок: РЕКТУБ го намали спастицитетот на шаката по мозочен удар и доведе до нејзино подобро моторно закрепнување.

Морталитетната статистика по причини за смрт е основен показател на здавствената состојба на населението во една земја. Нејзината валидност во целост е базирана на точноста на Лекарските извештаи за причина на смрт (ЛИПС) што претставуваат нејзин основен извор на податици. Цел на ова истражување е да се утврди точноста на лекарските извештаи со впишано КВЗ (I10 - I50) како основна причина за смрт во Градската општа болница „8ми Септември“ во Скопје. Материјал и методи: Истражувањето представува квантитативна аналитичка студија на пресек имплементирана во Градската општа болница „8ми Септември“ - Скопје во периодот  од јануари 2015 до декември  2016 година. Во истражувањето беа анализирани ЛИПС-овите кои согласно МКБ10 беа со впишано КВЗ (I10 - I50) како основна причина за смрт. Опфатени беа 121 пациент на возраст од 24 до 84 години кои починале во периодот 0 - 28 дена од хоспитализацијата и тоа независно од полот и другите социо-демографски карактеристики. Анализата на точноста на ЛИПС-овите, беше направена согласно стандардизиран образец од MONICA проектот. Резултати: Просечната возраст на починатите во целиот примерок изнесуваше 72,41±9,14 [95% CI (70.71-74,11)] години. Tочно пополнети ЛИПС-ови биле 67 (56,3%), неточно 22 (18,5%) и делумно точно 30 (25,2%). Нема сигнификантна асоцијација (p>0,05) меѓу полот на испитаниците и точноста на впишување на примарната причина за смрт. Утврдена е сигнификантно (p<0,05) поточно е впишана секундарна причина за смртта  кај лицата од машки пол. Заклучок: Со извесна лимитација поради малиот број на случаи  истражувањето укажува на неусогласеност помеѓу податоците превземени од болничката документација и причината за смрт впишана во ЛИПС-овите. Постои реална потреба да се превземат адекватни мерки за подобрување на квалитетот на ЛИПС.
Проценка на нутритивниот статус кај деца во град Скопје - компаративна анализа за периодот 2010 - 2016 година

Published: November 2020

Цел на трудот беше да се направи компаративна анализа на нутритивниот статус на деца на возраст од 6 до 8 години во градот Скопје во 2010 и 2016 година. Материјал и методи: За спроведување на  истражувањето во 2010 и 2016 година беше развиен протокол кој беше усогласен со протоколот на COSI истражувањето. Во двата круга на собирање на податоци во 14 основните училишта на територијата на град Скопје беа одбрани деца од второ одделение. Антропометриските испитувања се вршени според стандардите на СЗО за мерење на висина и тежина. Референците за раст на училишни деца на СЗО од 2007 година беа користени за да се пресметаат z-скоровите на стандардни девијации на индексот телесна маса-за-возраст (БМИ/В), како и за интерпретација на антропометриските индикатори.  Финалната обработка на податоците и проценката беше направена со примена на WHO AnthroPlus софтверот. Резултати: Вкупниот број вклучени деца во истражувањето во 2010 година беше 324, од кои 174 машки и 150 женски деца.  Во истражувањето во 2016 година беа вклучени 365 деца, од кои 183 машки и 182 женски деца. Индексот БМИ/В кај децата мерени во 2010 година покажа кај 0,3% потхранетост кај сите деца. Индексот БМИ/В покажува дека речиси кај една третина од децата постои зголемена ТТ и дебелина, со тоа што во 2010 година процентот на деца со зголемена ТТ и дебелина е повисок  (32,4%) во однос на 2016 година (28,8%).  Исто така, поголем процент на дебели деца се измерени во 2010 година (14,5%)  во споредба со 2016 година (12,6%). Околу 5% од децата се со екстремна дебелина (% > +3СД) и се евидентирани во 2010 година, додека во 2016 година таа состојба е присутна кај 4,7%.  Заклучок: Кривата на дистрибуција е поместена надесно во однос на референтните вредности, односно проблемите со исхраната на децата се поместени кон ризиците од зголемена телесна тежина и дебелина. Според тоа, и јавноздравствените акции треба да бидат насочени во тој правец. Потхранетоста, било умерена или тешка, ретко се среќава и не претставува значаен јавноздравствен проблем кај децата на оваа возраст во Македонија.

The aim of the paper was to evaluate clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in children and the success of the treatment. Material and methods: The study included 218 pediatric patients suspected for COVID-19 hospitalized at the Institute for Pulmonary Diseases in Children-Skopje, during the period from 16th of March to 19th of June 2020. All patients were tested for presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasopharyngeal swab with real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the Institute of Public Health of Republic of North Macedonia. Clinical symptoms, X-ray and laboratory findings were included in the study. Results: From 218 hospitalized patients, only 9 (4.13%) were positive for COVID-19 and 59% of them were males. Infants, with moderate pulmonary disease were 44.4% of the patients. Fever and gastrointestinal symptoms were present in 66.6% and 22.2% of the children, respectively. Macrolides were therapy of choice in 88% of the treated patients, 77% received intravenous therapy, 33% were on inhaled bronchodilator. Conclusions: A small number of children had COVID-19. All infected children were with mild to moderate pulmonary symptoms and reacted satisfactory to the treatment. However, the importance of transmitting the virus and influence over children’s health remains uncertain.
