Pheochromocytoma: A Diagnosis Made More Difficult in the COVID-19 Era
Authors: Mayer Frank
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that secrete catecholamines. Symptoms of these tumors are related directly to catecholamine excess but can be intermittent and easily misattributed to other more common pathologies.  Identification in the Emergency Department is inherently difficult.  In the COVID-19 pandemic physicians have had to account for both the disease itself as well as associated increased prevalence of cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular complications. Such shifting of disease prevalence arguably makes rarer diseases, like pheochromocytoma, less likely to be recognized. CASE REPORT We report a case of pheochromocytoma discovered in the emergency department in a patient who presented with fatigue, tachycardia, and diaphoresis. The differential included pulmonary embolism, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure and infectious causes.  A broad workup was begun including serology, electrocardiogram, Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA), and COVID-19 testing. This patient was evaluated in the winter of 2020, the local height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was found to be positive.  A tiny retroperitoneal tumor was reported on CTA as “incidental” in the setting of multifocal pneumonia from COVID-19 infection. But further history taking discovered many years of intermittent symptoms and suggested that the tumor may be more contributory to the patient’s presentation. Subsequent MRI and surgical pathology confirmed the pheochromocytoma. CONCLUSION This case presentation highlights the importance of careful history taking, keeping a broad differential, and examining incidental findings in the context of the patient’s presentation.
The Experiences of Mothers With BedboundChildren: Care Burden
Authors: Dönmez Semiha , Gün İskender
Published: May 2023

This study was carried out to evaluate the problems experienced by mothers with bedridden children and to determine the effects of care burdens on mothers.The study was carried out on mothers who had a bedridden child who was in the Neurology Service between November 2016 and May 2017. The data were collected through a 19-question introductoryform and the caregiver burden scale developed by Zarit. The data were evaluated using a computer. In statistical analysis, t-test, analysis of variance and chi-square test were used in independent samples. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.The moderateage of 200 mothers participating in the study was found to be 30.8 ± 7.0 years, and themoderatecare burden score was found to be 35.1 ± 24.3, and it was evaluated as mild to moderate. It was found that the younger the mother's age and the age of the child cared for, the greater the burden of care, and the longer the duration of care, the higher the burden of care. Being widowed, having a job and not having social security are factors that increase the burden of care. The effect of all these variables on burden of care was not statistically significant. The main problems that mothers experience while providing care are psychological problems and musculoskeletal problems.In order to minimize the burden of care for mothers withbedridden children, other family members should be included in the care, and parents should be supported psychologically.
On the Question of Whether We Need a New Enlightenment for the 21st Century
Authors: Allinson Robert Elliott ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

It is gratifying to learn that there are fellow humanist philosophers who pay homage to the Enlightenment and its legacy. Such a humanist philosopher is Michael Mitias. He has taken precious time and the labor of his active and synoptic thought to both read the trilogy I have had the privilege of guest editing and what is more, to write about it. Hence, I feel that he deserves a response. I shall address some of the key points that he has raised in the interest of dialogue, an activity which he has praised and which rightly forms the heart of our journal. I intend to respond to the following points: (i) that we do not need a new enlightenment, but a reinterpretation of the old; (ii) that the editorials are not consistent with the articles of the contributors; (iii) that the method I have utilized, to endeavor to invoke a new Enlightenment through self-conscious intention, via rallying philosophers together is at odds with the origin of the classical Enlightenment; (iv) that the viewpoint I have expressed suffers from its Eurocentrism.
How Do We Shape a Reform of the 21st-Century Human World in an Enlightenment Spirit? On Projects by Robert E. Allinson and Michael H. Mitias
Authors: Czarnocka Małgorzata ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

In this essay I wish to add my voice to Michael H. Mitias’s polemic with Robert E. Allinson’s view that an Enlightenment-driven reform of the human world is desirable, and even necessary. Allinson calls the outcome of such a reform the “New Enlightenment.” I also consider the few main threads of Mitias’s alternative proposal for repairing the human world, which involves the reinterpretation of the Enlightenment ideology, and I strive to show that, contrary to Mitias’s belief, both his and Allinson’s positions have important common points. Moreover, I also take a closer look at Mitias’s project, especially his postulate to begin funding the reforming of the human world in human nature.
Three Interpretations of the “Ideology” Category. Max Horkheimer’s Conception of Ideology
Authors: Czerniak Stanisław ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

The article consists of the following thematic threads: a) an overview of three interpretations of the term “ideology” in subject literature; b) a reconstruction of Max Horkheimer's ideology conception, presented in the first half of the 1930s in writings published in the Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung [Social Research Journal]; c) an attempt to answer the question to what degree this conception was paradigmatic for the early Frankfurt School (here, for comparative purposes, the author cites writings by Leo Löwenthal and Paul Landsberg, which were also published in the Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung).
Self-Preservation and Coloniality
Authors: Chimakonam Jonathan O. , Oluwagbemi-Jacob Dorothy N. ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we will critically examine the notion of rationality and the disabling instinct of self-preservation that play out in human relationships. That “man is a rational animal,” as Aristotle declared is usually taken for granted in social studies. But whether humans act rationally all the time, and in all circumstances remains questionable. Here, we shall investigate this concern from a decolonial perspective by engaging some contradictions thrown up in the context of coloniality within which a section of humanity dehumanizes the rest. The question then is, how rational is the intellectual program of coloniality? Taking a cue from conversational thinking that places the notion of relationship at the center of decolonial analysis, we argue that coloniality fractures the inter and intra-racial relationships due mainly to the instinct of self-preservation that overwhelms human rationality. What has emerged today as the superior/inferior divide, racialism, classism, internal colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, xenophobia, and genocide are some of the consequences of warped and uncritical thinking driven by an extreme form of the instinct of self-preservation. We argue that the promotion of critical (higher-order) thinking in addition to ordinary (lower-order) thinking could be crucial in a decolonial program.
Habit, Type, and Alterity in Social Life. Recoiling Protentions and Social Invisibility
Authors: Atkinson Mitchell ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

The question of the possibility of a phenomenological sociology is of the utmost importance today. In this paper, techniques in transcendental-genetic phenomenology are introduced as applicable to sociological work. I introduce the concept of recoil, a habit of thought which negatively determines protentions and expectations concerning types sedimented in far retention. Recoil is seen to be an important element in the theory of alterity in social life, including the understanding of alters as invisible. Finally, arguments in favor of the use of the epoché in sociological work is given, as the epoché allows us to engage with the experience of the subject of study without a latent invidious comparison to a naturalistic substructure.

Authors: Martin Amarilis A. , Walker Shannon C. , Wheeler Allison P. , Jacobs Jeremy W. , Booth Garrett S. , Silver Julie K.
Published: May 2023

Context.—

United States’ clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are often produced by professional societies and used worldwide in daily medical practice. However, studies in various medical specialties demonstrate underrepresentation of women and racial and ethnic minority groups in CPGs. The representation of authors by gender, race, and ethnicity of US pathology CPGs has not been previously evaluated.

Objective.—

To assess if women and individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented as authors of pathology CPGs.

Design.—

The gender, race, ethnicity, and terminal degrees of authors of 18 CPGs from the College of American Pathologists were coded by using photographs and other available information online and compared to their representation in academic pathology per Association of American Medical Colleges benchmark data.

Results.—

Two hundred seventy-five author positions (202 physician author positions) were analyzed. Women overall (119 of 275; 43.3%) and women physicians (65 of 202; 32.2%) held fewer positions than all men and men physicians. Women physicians were significantly underrepresented in physician author positions, while White men physicians were significantly overrepresented in all, first, senior, and corresponding authorship roles when compared to the proportion of women and White men physicians among pathology faculty, respectively. Asian men and women physicians were underrepresented as compared to their representation among pathology faculty.

Conclusions.—

Men, particularly White men physicians, are overrepresented among pathology CPG author positions, while women physicians and some physicians from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented. Further research is needed to understand the impact of these findings on the careers of underrepresented physicians and the content of guidelines.

Partindo dos Estudos Sociais da Infância e da Sociologia da Educação, consideram-se as diretrizes sanitário-educativas oficiais e as práticas pedagógicas privilegiadas por educadoras de infância portuguesas, para compreender em que medida e que direitos das crianças foram assegurados e/ou ameaçados no decurso das arritmias geradas pela COVID-19 na Educação de Infância (EI). Com apoio em metodologias qualitativas de recolha e de análise das medidas/recomendações oficiais para a EI (março 2020 a junho 2021) e de entrevistas a educadoras de diversas instituições, contextos e percursos (jardins de infância da rede pública e privada; meio urbano e rural; tempo na profissão), visou-se identificar e analisar i) os direitos que se asseguraram oficialmente às crianças e sua educação; ii) as (re)interpretações daquelas medidas/recomendações face às principais preocupações educativas das educadoras, facilidades/dificuldades encontradas nas recontextualizações pedagógicas assumidas para lidarem com elas. Na diversidade de (re)interpretações e práticas pedagógicas, e seu (des)alinhamento face às políticas, sublinha-se a ênfase na aprendizagem de conteúdos; a interferência de fatores socioestruturais e contextuais no cumprimento dos direitos das crianças e o conhecimento limitado daqueles direitos pelas educadoras, perspetivando-se a necessidade e urgência da sua ampla divulgação na EI.
Infância e educação em Marrocos
Authors: Bedmar-Llorent Vicente , Zaragoza Lucía Torres
Published: May 2023

Como resultado da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança (1989), os direitos e obrigações necessários para garantir uma infância segura são estabelecidos em nível praticamente global. No entanto, a exploração infantil persiste como uma realidade indiscutível nos países em desenvolvimento, situação intimamente ligada à pobreza. No Marrocos, foi desenvolvida uma série de políticas que demonstram os esforços do governo para mudar essa realidade. No entanto, em 2020 ainda existe uma percentagem significativa de crianças trabalhadoras, das quais 80,9% abandonam a escola e 4% nunca frequentaram a escola (Haut Commissariat au Plan du Maroc, 2021). Consequentemente, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as políticas educacionais voltadas à proteção das crianças e à educação adotadas no Marrocos nos últimos anos, que também tentam combinar tradição e modernidade.

Implementation of Provision of Assimilation in the Time of Covid-19 for Prisoners
Authors: Wijanarko Dwi Seno
Published: May 2023

A criminal act committed by a person does not eliminate his human dignity, so that his position as a prisoner does not prevent him from getting guaranteed protection and fulfillment of human rights. This provision then animates the existence of a correctional system with a set of accompanying legal instruments, including a coaching system which is embodied in the form of an assimilation program. As part of the prisoner development system, the implementation of assimilation has faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Departing from the description above, the researcher intends to conduct research related to the implementation of assimilation during the COVID-19 pandemic by placing the research locus in Cipinang Class I Prison. The objectives to be achieved in this research are: 1) Knowing the process of providing assimilation for prisoners in Cipinang Class I Correctional Institution; 2) Knowing the impact resulting from the provision of assimilation for prisoners in the Cipinang Class I Correctional Institution. The type of research used in this study is empirical legal research which bases research on findings in the field, so the approach used in this research is a sociological juridical approach. The results of this study are first, the implementation of assimilation in Cipinang Class 1 Prison is based on the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 2020. Based on this legal source, Cipinang Class 1 Prison has given as many as 533 assimilation rights to prisoners. Second, the provision of assimilation carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic subsequently brought positive and negative impacts at the same time
Semyon Frank and the German Neo-Kantianism: Aspects of Debate
Authors: Belov Vladimir N.
Published: May 2023

The widespread assessment of the early period of Semyon L. Frank’s work as being influenced by German Neo-Kantianism is in need of a critical scrutiny. There are several reasons why the Russian philosopher’s interest in Neo-Kantianism merits a closer look. First, two systemic theories belonging to different trends exerted a decisive influence on Russian philosophy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: German Neo-Kantianism and Vladimir Solovyov’s school of all-unity. Second, Frank himself and the German Neo-Kantians considered Nicholas of Cusa to be one of their forerunners and pointed out the importance of his mathematical ideas for their mathematical studies. Thirdly and lastly, Frank paid particular attention, especially in his formative period as a philosopher, to the leading trend in the early twentieth century, namely German Neo-Kantianism, which led some students of his work to believe that German Neo-Kantianism played the decisive role in Frank’s abandonment of Marxism in favour of religious ontology. Frank’s fundamental disagreement with German Neo-Kantianism was expressed in his work The Object of Knowledge in which he criticised the Neo-Kantian concepts of number and time. Although Frank rightly points out the one-sidedness of the Neo-Kantian definition of number, most notably in the works of the Marburg philosopher Paul Natorp, on the whole his criticism of the Neo-Kantian concept of number and time as being different from his own is not entirely convincing. In my opinion, Frank’s attempt to explain the abstract concept of number through a still more abstract concept of all-unity was not crowned with success because he ignored the experience of Christian theology and the Trinity dogma as well as the profound thoughts of the Rev. Pavel Florensky on this topic.

Mobile phones are phenomenal in recent years for communication as well as in day-to-day life. Hence, charging the mobile phones has become the greater task. In this project; we are trying to design a mobile battery charger on coin insertion. As uses of mobile phones are increasing day by day it need battery life all the time, so in order to use them public charging is needed which would be useful for mobile users. This system will charge the mobile phone for a particular time-period. When the valid coin is recognized, it will start giving power supply to the cell phone through one of the adapters. We will be using a global charging adapter that would be suitable for all mobile phones. The mentioned system can be implemented in public places like railway stations, bus stops, hospitals, malls, etc. to avail the services. The objective of this project is inserting the coin using charge for your mobile phone in public places. This project is very useful to people who are all using mobile phone without charging condition in public places. In this project, who are all using mobile phones in outside of home are office without charging condition. The coin-based mobile phone charger is very useful to that person for using coin to charge for that mobile. The IR (infrared) transmitter is used to transmit IR signal in the transmitter side. The IR receiver is used to receive the IR signal in the receiver side. Between the IR transmitter and receiver, insert a coin to change the polarity of pulse in SCU input. The SCU is used to converting low pulse to high pulse and that pulse is inverted in inverter. The 555 IC is act as a timer to produces high pulse for particular time period. Again the SCU is used to converting low pulse to high pulse and this output is give to input of driver circuit. Driver circuit is used for provide the sufficient input voltage of relay. The relay will on to activate the 230v charger, we will use charger to charge for our mobile phone. Key Word: Mobile Phone, Atmega Microcontroller, Coin acceptor, LCD display, SMPS, Relay

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) through ducts B2 or B3 is effective in most patients with biliary obstruction, because B2 and B3 commonly join together. However, in some patients, B2 and B3 do not join each other due to invasive hilar tumors; therefore, single-route drainage is insufficient. Here, we investigated the feasibility and efficacy of EUS-HGS through both B2 and B3 simultaneously in seven patients. We decided to perform EUS-HGS through both B2 and B3 to achieve adequate biliary drainage because these two ducts were separate from each other. Here, we report a 100% technical and overall clinical success rate. Early adverse effects were closely monitored. Minimal bleeding was reported in one patient (1/7) and mild peritonitis in one patient (1/7). None of the patients experienced stent dysfunction, fever, or bile leakage after the procedure. EUS-HGS through both B2 and B3 simultaneously is safe, feasible, and effective for biliary drainage in patients with separated ducts.

The Big Five factor model is one of the most frequently used models in modern personality psychology. It captures personality in terms of five broad dimensions, namely Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability/Neuroticism, and Intellect/Openness to experience, discovered through a series of psycho-lexical studies. We translated the Big Five Inventory (BFI), a metric developed to operationalize the Big Five personality structure, into the Swahili language and evaluated the psychometric properties of both the newly developed Swahili version and the original English version in a sample of 200 university students (114 women; 86 men; average age: 20.16) in Kenya. Principal Component Analysis with varimax rotation of the five factors was conducted for both raw and ipsatized scores, for both language versions of the BFI. Only two factors were fully replicated, Conscientiousness and Neuroticism. Conscientiousness factor was fully replicated using ipsatized scores of the English BFI, while Neuroticism was replicated with both the raw and ipsatized scores of the English BFI. The Swahili version of the BFI failed to unambiguously replicate any of the five factors with neither the raw nor the ipsatized scores. Results also showed poor-to-moderate scale reliabilities of both the English and the Swahili versions of the BFI.
“Aging in Place” – Envelhecer em casa e na comunidade
Authors: Fonseca António Manuel Godinho da
Published: May 2023

Apesar da vasta maioria dos portugueses envelhecer nas suas casas, as medidas de promoção de um envelhecimento em casa e na comunidade – aging in place – continuam a ter uma fraca visibilidade pública quando comparadas com a atenção que se atribui a soluções institucionais. Constituindo uma abordagem necessária para a promoção de um envelhecimento saudável, a valorização de respostas de aging in place significa responder às necessidades das pessoas mais velhas a partir dos contextos onde elas vivem. Na prática, isto significa não retirar a pessoa do local onde ela vive para lhe proporcionar o que ela necessita, mas criar aí condições para que as suas necessidades sejam satisfeitas à medida que envelhece. É precisamente verificar «como é que isso pode ser feito» que constitui o objetivo deste texto, primeiro através de uma discussão do conceito de “aging in place” e depois pela análise de dimensões concretas de operacionalização deste conceito, quer em Portugal quer em outros países.
Moral Networks: A Sociological Study on Illicit Self-Cultivation of Cannabis for Psychoactive use in Brazil
Authors: Castro Marco , Fraga Paulo
Published: May 2023

The use of psychoactive drugs is a social practice commonly observed in all societies. This article aims to present the moral grammar of actors who grow marijuana for their own use in Brazil. This study employed a qualitative methodology based on direct observation and semi-structured interviews. Regarding research ethics, all institutional principles were considered, like obtaining informed consent and guaranteeing the privacy of participants and the confidentiality of information. We found that these actors establish a sui generis morality through their practices. From this perspective, it can be conjectured that this network of actors who grow their own marijuana configures a specific moral grammar through the language devices they mobilize in response to the judgments, criticisms and moral accusations they face, whether formal or informal. Moreover, through the interviews, it was possible to verify how the relations of mutual assistance in this moral network of actors who grow their own marijuana are shaped by the actions, interactions, associations and moral aggregations among them. In this way, the relations of reciprocity and cooperation among these moral actors configure a kind of solidarity specific to this network. Therefore, the home cultivation of marijuana is analyzed as a legitimate moral feeling of liberation in relation to the formal and informal repressions faced by these actors.

Drug addiction is a current global problem, which causes significant damage to the individual and society as a whole. Drug addicts have numerous disorders, among which the emotional sphere occupies an important place. Identification of social and psychological factors affecting the development of emotional intelligence of drug addicts will make it possible to optimize their psychological rehabilitation programmes.

The aim of the study is based on establishing the influence of social and psychological factors on the development of the emotional intelligence level in drug addicts.

Methods: The research programme uses standardized psychometric diagnostic methods (MSPSS, Self-Monitoring Scale, EQ-test, Self-esteem test). Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallace H test, and Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient were used.

The Results: The study showed that a low level of emotional intelligence prevails among the surveyed drug addicts (M=37.63±13.38). At the same time, people with a low level have pronounced signs of low social self-control (Н=67.64, р≤0.001), social support (Н=67.76, р≤0.001), and self-esteem (Н=89.12, р≤0.001). Correlation analysis revealed a close direct relationship between emotional intelligence and social self-control (r=0.681, p≤0.001), social support (r=0.632, p≤0.001), and self-esteem (r=0.726, p≤0.001).

Conclusions: The study found that the development of emotional intelligence of drug addicts is influenced by such social and psychological factors as social self-control, social support, and self-esteem. These factors determine the ability to manage emotions, adequately perceive them and objectively express them.

Prospects: The identified results can be used when building a system of psychological rehabilitation for persons with drug addiction. In particular, to develop emotional intelligence, and improving general emotional well-being.
Pathology of the Inventive Step Requirement in the Patent Law with a Look at Iranian Law
Authors: Najafi Hamed
Published: May 2023

The of the inventive step requirement, which apparently guarantees the growth of innovation and pursues industrial and economic development, despite enjoying some benefits, has always faced challenges, and in some cases such challenges are in conflict with the basis of the patent system, and it shows that the patent system is not always socially useful. The analysis of the mentioned challenges is mainly based on the economic principles and assessment tools of the requirement, i.e., examiners and person having ordinary skill in the art. Iran's patent system can also be criticized in terms of legislation and implementation and needs to be reformed. In this article, we intend to first examine the economic pathology regarding the assessment of the inventive step requirement in the patent system, then present the appropriate criterion that is similar to the copyright system, and explain the necessary suggestions.
Violation of Human Rights and Enforced Disappearance in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Haseljić Meldijana Arnaut
Published: May 2023

Every armed conflict outcome in a violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms. In areas where war conflicts are taking place, certain forms of crimes that are most often committed against civilians and other categories protected by international (humanitarian) law occur as an inevitable consequence. Thus, in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the war that took place in the period 1992-1995. committed numerous war crimes, and crimes against the peace and security of mankind. These crimes were committed against civilians and protected categories of the population, primarily prisoners of war. The issue of protection of human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina is inevitably connected with the consideration of the consequences resulting from the armed aggression carried out at the end of the twentieth century. One form of crime that is particularly specific to Bosnia and Herzegovina is the crime of enforced disappearance. Enforced disappearances in Bosnia and Herzegovina are most often associated with the out-of-court detention of persons whose fate becomes unknown upon expulsion from their homes or stays in camps and other places of detention. This form of crime is especially significant because its consequences still last, even though 25 to 30 years have passed since its commission. Namely, the total number of registered forcibly missing persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 34,965. About 8,000 more people are wanted. Many families have not yet exercised their basic humanitarian right to know the truth about the fate of their family members. The bodies or remains of forcibly missing persons are most often found in unmarked individual or mass graves of a hidden locality. There are a numerous of forcibly missing persons who are still being searched for, and this is precisely the reason why studying the enforced disappearances of persons and considering the consequences of this committed crime is of special social interest. It is especially important to provide legal protection to families whose members were forcibly disappeared during the war and whose bodies or remains have not been found to date. The humane character of this issue must not be overlooked. It is important to find new possibilities in the search for forcibly missing persons, bearing in mind the fact that the passage of time and the biological processes that take place make it difficult to perform this task. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that witnesses or perpetrators of crimes who can provide adequate information end their lives. The truth about hidden bodies thus remains inaccessible. International bilateral agreements involving stakeholders represent one of the new possibilities in resolving issues related to enforced disappearances.
