Comunicación no verbal en Pandemia.
Authors: Gordo Alonso María Concepción
Published: January 2023

Cuando el 1 de enero de 2020 celebrábamos con mucha ilusión el inicio del nuevo año y también de la nueva década no podíamos ni imaginar, al menos fuera de China, que nuestra vida cambiaría de forma tan radical. Se modificaron muchas cosas, una de ellas fue la forma de comunicarnos. La expresión corporal y facial y la comunicación no verbal en todas sus formas: distancia interpersonal, gestos, posturas, expresiones faciales, tomaban una relevancia que hasta ese momento había pasado casi desapercibida.

Desde marzo de 2020 nuestra forma de comunicarnos fue mayoritariamente online con una focalización específica en el rostro que tomaba todo el protagonismo de la interacción. A través de diferentes aplicaciones podíamos vernos muy de cerca al igual que a nuestros interlocutores, dejando al descubierto de una manera muy precisa la expresión de las emociones básicas que se reflejan en la cara. En la comunicación presencial, el uso obligatorio de mascarillas propició mirarnos de forma directa a los ojos, y el tercio superior de la cara ahora pasaba a ser fuente esencial de información. La mirada era la nueva palabra.

El dicho popular "los ojos son el reflejo del alma" cobró sentido. Las sucesivas olas de la pandemia requerían constantemente la vuelta a las relaciones por vías digitales y a penas mostrar nuestro rostro completo, sin duda estos han sido años de mirarnos a los ojos quizá como nunca antes se había hecho.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar en detalle cómo ha sido durante este tiempo de pandemia nuestra comunicación no verbal, especialmente las expresiones faciales del rostro y particularmente los ojos. La pregunta a las que daremos respuesta es, ¿ha propiciado la pandemia que nuestras emociones básicas queden al descubierto e interaccionar con los demás con un feedback no verbal que hasta ahora quedaba eclipsado por la comunicación verbal, el aspecto físico y el cuerpo en su conjunto?, ¿qué hemos descubierto de nosotros y de los demás tras 2 años de cambios en nuestra comunicación? Utilizaremos los estudios de investigación sobre comunicación no verbal en pandemia publicados desde 2020.

 

Palabras clave: Comunicación no verbal, pandemia, emociones, emociones básicas, expresiones faciales.

Authors: Sreekavya Ammanabrolu , Chakricharan Kamsala , Mahesh V.
Published: January 2023

Dengue is the the most common mosquito borne arboviral disease in tropical regions of the world. Common hematological abnormalities seen with
dengue fever are leukopenia followed by thrombocytopenia. Coagulopathy may also be seen in dengue fever. This study aims to observe the trends
of PT and aPTT prole in dengue fever. Materials and methods: This was an observational study done at Narayana medical college and hospital,
Nellore, from June 2021 to October 2022 on 180 dengue patients satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated
partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) values of all the study patients were noted. Laboratory control value for PT was 13.1sec, aPTT control value
was 34sec. Values above these were considered abnormal. PTand aPTTvalues of all the 180 patients included in the study were noted at admission
and median values were calculated. Results: Out of 180 dengue patients studied, 95.6% of the patients had normal PTand 78.8% of the patients had
prolonged aPTT . Median value of PT observed in this study was 13.8 sec, median value of aPTT observed in this study was 48.9sec. Conclusion:
Isolated aPTT prolongation with a normal PT is seen in dengue fever as commonly as thrombocytopenia. Moreover, in addition to
thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy as represented by prolongation of aPTT is an important contributor of bleeding risk to be noted in patients with
dengue fever.

Published: January 2023

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, the most common endocrinological disorder among women in the reproductive age group which is
characterized by chronic ovulatory dysfunction, certain hormonal disturbances as well as metabolic derangements. Aim: This study aimed to see a
correlation between Luteinizing Hormone and Interleukine – 6 level in normal and high body mass index women with PCOS and to establish the
importance of IL – 6 as a useful biomarker for predicting detrimental consequences of PCOS like the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Follicle stimulating hormone, Luteinizing hormone, Thyroid stimulating hormone and Interleukine - 6 have been estimated. Statistical
analysis has been performed with SPSS software. Student's T-test is used to compare means between each of the test group with the control group
and Karl Pearson's method of correlation is used to nd out the correlation coefcient. Results: The study included 187 women, diagnosed with
PCOS (normal BMI group: n = 25, and high BMI group: n = 31) and 100 age matched control. There were signicant association found between LH
and IL – 6 concentrations in these two groups of PCOS with respect to control. Conclusion: There is an association in between IL – 6 and LH
concentrations in these two groups of PCOS with respect to control. IL – 6 is a marker for T2DM and the development of T2DM does not depends
on BMI. Probably, LH in its elevated condition play a vital role to develop T2DM in females with PCOS.
A STUDY OF LICHEN PLANUS: CASE REPORT
Authors: Sharma Porshia
Published: January 2023

Lichen planus (LP) is a disease which affects stratied squamous epithelia of the skin or mucus membrane, this is a T-cell mediated disease. LP
generally involves the skin or mucous membranes including the oral, esophageal, vulvovaginal, conjunctival and laryngeal mucosa. Several drugs,
typically anti-hypertensive medication or infections, particularly viral hepatitis can be responsible for inducing LP. The current rst-line treatment
includes topical and/or systemic corticosteroids. In addition, immune-suppressants can also be used as corticosteroid sparing agents. Anyone can
develop LP but middle-aged adults are affected most often whereas Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) most often affects middle-aged women. Here two
case reports have been discussed focusing Lichen Planus of both skin and mouth. The case reports also provide the information regarding physical
examination of the patients, results of their histological ndings and other pathological tests (Biopsy, Haematology, Complete Blood Count, Liver
Function Tests, Plasma Glucose, etc.) and their thorough treatment plan with its outcome. Both the cases showed improvement from the treatment
provided for this autoimmune disorder and we can expect a permanent cure of this disease in times to come.

Authors: Saha Manjari , Jana Debarshi
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is rapidly increasing in both developed as well as developing nations. It is a growing health problem associated
with increased risk of microvascular and macro vascular complications. At present, the prevalence of diabetes in Indian adults is 8.8%.It has been
estimated that the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus will be around 4.4% worldwide in 2030. Diabetes mellitus is considered to be a prothrombotic
state. Aims: To study MPV, PDW and P-LCR as a marker and their association with microvascular complications in type2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a Prospective, Cross sectional, observational study. This Study was conducted from August 2019
to August 2021 at Department of general medicine, TATA Motors Hospital, Jamshedpur. 250 patients were included in this study. Result: The
mean MPV (mean± s.d.) of patients was higher in Case Group [11.8880± 1.4381] compared to Control Group patients [9.7760± 1.0691] and this
was statistically signicant (p<0.0001). It was found that the mean PDW (mean± s.d.) of patients was higher in Case Group [16.1600± 2.7632]
compared to Control Group patients [13.1760± 1.4539] which was statistically signicant (p<0.0001). Our study showed that the mean P-LCR
(mean± s.d.) of patients was higher in Case Group [46.2240± 7.0686] compared to Control Group patients [36.6960± 2.7510] and this was
statistically signicant (p<0.0001). Conclusion: It was concluded that MPV, PDW, PCT, 24 urine Albumin and P-LCR were signicantly higher
among type 2 DM patients with microvascular complications. This indicates that platelet indices can be used as prognostic markers of vascular
complications and can be used as simple and cost-effective parameters to predict microvascular complications particularly in patients with old age.
GESTATIONAL THROMBOCYTOPENIA: CASE REPORT AND APPROACH TO DIAGNOSIS
Authors: Bentoor SN , Jadhav Sachin , V Sujay
Published: January 2023

Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is a frequent observation in term obstetric populations. The majority of newly diagnosed instances of TCP are mild,
asymptomatic, and discovered during regular prenatal screening. The diagnosis and treatment of thrombocytopenia during pregnancy and
postpartum can be difcult due to the numerous potential reasons, some of which are directly related to the pregnancy and others that are not. There
are no diagnostic laboratory tests for many of the causes. Management choices may carry the risk of major consequences for both mother and
foetus, necessitating prompt delivery decisions, and there may be worries about foetal thrombocytopenia. Gestational thrombocytopenia (GT),
preeclampsia,HELLPsyndrome, and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia are common causes at term (ITP). Preeclampsia/HELLPsyndrome has
well-dened symptoms and test ndings, whereas the others are asymptomatic and indistinguishable. A25-year-old woman with new-onset TCPat
40 weeks gestation with 11000/Lplatelets recovered within 12 hours postnatally. After checking out other reasons of severe new-onset TCPat term,
therapy should focus on hemostasis before delivery

Authors: Nasreen Ahmed Semina , Gogoi Bidit Kumar , Rahman Shemim , Neog Sangita
Published: January 2023

Background: Safe blood transfusion practice starts with meticulous selection of blood donors. Recruitment and retention of healthy safe donor is
crucial to maintain adequate supply of blood units available for transfusion. The present study was undertaken with the aim to analyze the rate as
well as the causes of pre-donation deferral and blood units discarded following screening test for Transfusion Transmitted Infection (TTI).
Material and methods: This retrospective hospital-based study was conducted in the Blood Centre, Jorhat Medical College and Hospital, Jorhat,
Assam over a period of one year i.e., from 1st October, 2021 to 30th September, 2022. All donors who attended the Blood Centre as well as outdoor
voluntary blood donation camps were included in the study. Each and every blood donor was screened as per the guidelines of Drugs and Cosmetics
(Second Amendment) Rules, 2020. Transfusion Transmitted Infection (TTI) screening tests were done on the collected blood units and those found
to be positive were discarded. The donor records were reviewed and analyzed according to sex, donor type (voluntary or replacement) and reason
for deferral. Results: Out of 17030 prospective donors, 14372 (84.39%) donors were accepted for blood donation while 2658 (15.61%) donors
were deferred. The deferral rate was higher in females i.e., 35.63% (88 out of 247) compared to males i.e., 15.31% (2570 out of 16783). Deferral
percentage of voluntary donors was 19% (2563 out of 13485) and that of replacement donor was 2.68% (95 out of 3545). The rate of temporary and
permanent deferral was 99.17% (2636 out of 2658) and 0.83% (22 out of 2658) respectively. The most common cause of temporary deferral was
found to be low hemoglobin (41.81%) whereas in case of permanent deferral high risk behaviour (50%) was found to be the leading cause. 3.21%
(462 out of 14372) blood units were discarded following screening tests for Transfusion Transmitted Infection (TTI). Hepatitis C was the most
common cause of blood units discarded. Conclusion:Asystematic and well organised approach to selection of blood donors is the mainstay of safe
blood transfusion practice. Analysis of donor deferral pattern guides us to recruit safe healthy donors and to maintain an adequate pool of blood
units available for transfusion

Published: January 2023

This article is a paper presented at an academic conference held by the Korean Association of Victimology under the theme of ‘Retrospective and Prospects’ to mark the 30th anniversary.
This article first outlines and reviews the victim protection and support system (II). In essence, the tasks of criminal justice agencies are criminal investigation, trial, and execution of sentences. It is the action of the right to punish the state, and criminals have long been the subject of attention. However, the perception that victims are also important in solving crimes began to emerge and gradually, perhaps accidentally, interested in victims began to discuss the status of victims in the overall judicial system, including criminal proceedings. The problem is that it is not easy to think of the victim with the perception of the fixed criminal that has occurred during the long investigation. Therefore, it is important to organize the thinking and logic of the victim's point of view (III). Finally, the reflection (review) is summarized (IV).

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Tibialis posterior rupture is rarely associated with ankle fractures, usually misdiagnosed, and leads to flatfoot deformity if untreated. Primary repair has been reported in most cases, with better outcomes regarding late deformity correction. Case Report: 22-years old female surgically treated for bimalleolar fracture, with intra-operative diagnosis of irreparable tibialis posterior tendon rupture, submitted to tenodesis to the flexor digitorum longus. Conclusion: Irreparable tibialis posterior rupture in acute fracture is a rare association with ankle fractures. Tenodesis to the flexor digitorum longus is a surgical option when primary repair is not possible.

Mainan anak yang di cat warna-warni mengandung timbal yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan anak jika terpapar. Tujuan dilakukan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan guru serta orang tua siswa PAUD Pelita Bunda tentang bahaya logam timbal terhadap kesehatan anak. Kegiatan pengadian masyarakat dilakukan dengan memberikan pengetahuan terhadap bahaya timbal pada mainan anak serta pencegahannya sehingga siswa-siswi dapat belajar dengan aman melalui penyuluhan. Hasil kegiatan penyuluhan yang dilakukan diperoleh terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap sampai 97,9% pada guru dan orang tua siswa tentang bahaya timbal. Disamping itu pihak sekolah juga terus melakukan upaya pencegahan terpaparnya timbal yaitu terus melakukan peningkatan kebersihan di lingkungan sekolah, melakukan pengawasan terhadap peralatan maupun mainan yang dapat memberikan kontaminasi timbal terhadap siswa.
 
Early childhood is very vulnerable to lead metal contamination from toys. Pelita Bunda Early Childhood Education School (PAUD) is one of the early childhood schools that uses children's toys as education. Colorfully painted children's toys contain lead can affect a child's health if exposed. The purpose of this community service is to determine the level of knowledge of teachers and parents of Pelita Bunda PAUD students about the dangers of lead metal to children's health. Community service activities are carried out by providing knowledge about the dangers of lead in children's toys and their prevention so that students can learn safely through counseling. The results of the counseling activities carried out obtained an increase in knowledge and attitudes of up to 97.9% of teachers and parents of students about the dangers of lead. Besides that, the school also continues to make efforts to prevent lead exposure, namely continuing to improve cleanliness in the school environment, monitoring equipment and toys that can provide lead contamination to students.

Penelitian-penelitian terkait anemia sebenarnya sudah banyak dilakukan, hewan coba yang banyak digunakan untuk meneliti anemia defisiensi besi adalah mencit atau tikus. Namun, saat ini mencit diketahui telah berevolusi untuk mampu mempertahankan besi di dalam tubuh dibandingkan dengan tikus. Mayoritas pemberian diet rendah besi membutuhkan waktu yang lama yaitu sekitar 4-8 minggu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan model protokol laboratorium terbaru animal model anemia defisiensi besi dengan menggunakan tikus putih strain wistar dalam waktu yang lebih cepat. Tikus dibagi ke dalam tiga kelompok, yaitu dengan pemberian pakan rendah besi, induksi NaNO2 dengan dosis 25g/200 BB tikus, serta kombinasi antara pakan rendah besi dan induksi NaNO2. Hasil data pengukuran pada KP1, KP2 dan KP3 didapatkan kadar hemoglobin dengan kisaran 12,2-15,7 g/dL; 12,8-13,7 g/dL dan 12,7-15,4 g/dL, dimana kadar hemoglobin tersebut masih dalam kisaran normal. Uji Kruskal-Wallis pada hasil pengukuran selama 21 hari tampak tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan dengan nilai berturut-turut 0,051; 0,550 ; 0,051 (p<0,05). Pemberian pakan rendah besi maupun induksi senyawa NaNO2 yang bersifat karsinogenik pada tikus jantan Wistar yang telah diberi perlakukan untuk bisa menjadi animal model anemia defisiensi besi dapat digunakan namun memerlukan waktu pelakuan yang lebih lama agar terjadi kerusakan pada siklus hematopoesis.
Visualising “the vulnerable”: Understanding vulnerability to COVID-19 in relation to the South African COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (SA CVI)
Authors: Kirsten Marnell , Joubert Marina
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the definition of “vulnerability” in the visualisation and underpinning index of Stats SA’s South African COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (SA CVI)’s data visualisation dashboard. The paper establishes definitions of vulnerability in relation to literature before COVID-19, research in the time of the pandemic, and in relation to data visualisation. The discussion finds that while the pandemic is widely perceived as a “health crisis”, South African vulnerability to this pandemic is mostly constituted by factors that fall outside of normative “health” concerns – beyond “straightforward” medical, biological and epidemiological factors. Instead, South African vulnerability to COVID-19, and the “health” of its citizens in this context, are largely to be understood as systemic, socio-economic, and necropolitical conditions. It is found that these conditions have not been generated by the pandemic but have rather been exposed by it.
An exploration of the institutionalisation of public relations at executive level in the top 100 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)

Published: January 2023

This article discusses the institutionalisation of public relations at executive level in large organisations, based on research applied to a purposive sample of the top 100 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in South Africa. Based on an examination of recent literature on public relations as a strategic management function, the study aimed to determine the extent to which senior public relations practitioners in the selected companies are involved in strategy formulation and decision-making at executive level. Current and recent literature provided a conceptual framework based on the premise that organisations have much to gain by involving senior practitioners in top-level decision-making and strategy formulation. The following theories informed the primary research, which took the form of qualitative semi-structured interviews with the participating practitioners: excellence theory, the dominant coalition, the relational approach, the reflective paradigm and roles theory, with the main focus on the strategic role of public relations. Apart from indicating the extent to which public relations is practiced as a top-level management function in the selected companies, the study also sought to identify barriers that prevent the participating practitioners from providing strategic input at an executive level, and to offer recommendations to overcome these barriers.
The 2022 Copyright Amendment Bill: Implications for the South African universities’ research economy
Authors: Tomaselli Keyan
Published: January 2023

The South African Copyright Amendment Bill of 2017 was passed in 2022. In justifying the weakening of copyright protections with regard to the educational arena, the Bill’s proponents have largely applied rhetorical discourses published in the popular media, also aggressively propagated at their public meetings. In contrast, the publishing industry has generated many hundreds of pages of economic impact studies supported by detailed legal arguments with reference to global treaties. My analysis assesses the different positions taken by the pro-Bill lobby, ReCreate, in comparison to the Copyright Coalition that questions the importation of an American fair use doctrine. The potential implications of the Bill for South African authors and artists operating in the educational environment are described. Since the object of study has been a moving target, and still was at the time of submission of this article, the conclusions that arise out of the ongoing debates are tentative – but prescient for the current conjuncture. The analysis relies on cross-referencing stakeholder submissions, newspaper articles and statements made by all parties to the discussion. In addition, a number of rejoinders were invited, which are published below. The study reveals the stark contradictions within emerging state policy relating to the creative industries in an era when information has economic value.
