Authors: Auda Ibtesam G.
Published: December 2020

Background:  Insertion sequence is a short DNA sequence encode for proteins implicated in the transposition activity. Transposase  catalyzes the enzymatic reaction allowing the insertion sequence  to +9*lo2 move. ;qqa;.

Objective: To study the sequencing of transposase gene, tnp, IS1216V of S. aureus isolated from food and then compared with that documented in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Methods: Food samples of animal and plant origin were collected, and screened for presence of S. aureus, IS1216V was identified in the Tn1546-like elements in the genomes of all Staphylococcus aureus isolates.

Results: About 75% of total food samples were positive to S. aureus especially in the food of animal origin. tnp amplification showed that, 85% of isolates gave positive result.   Sequencing of amplified part of  IS1216V tnp of S. aureus isolates showed that,  tnp gene had high identity (78-79%) with the reference strains of NCBI.

Conclusion: High percentage of  local food samples were contaminated with S. aureus especially of animal origin. Most of the S. aureus isolates showed the presence of transposase gene (tnp) of IS1216V. Sequencing showed some dissimilarity between the sequence of transposase gene (tnp) of IS1216V  S. aureus isolated from local foods and strains  recorded in database of  NCBI.

Authors: Al-Jawahiri Thamer I. , Al-Marayati, Amal N.
Published: December 2020

Background: Early detection of subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is crucial and could inﬂuence patients' prognosis by aiding the clinician to candidate patients for better management.

Objective: To detect early LV systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patient with chronic aortic regurgitation by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.

 Methods:  Sixty one asymptomatic patients with chronic aortic regurgitation, with no ischemic heart diseases (by coronary angiography) or conductive heart diseases, no diabetes mellitus, no hypertension, and no other valvular heart diseases (group 1) and fifty age and sex-matched healthy subjects (group 2) were enrolled into the study. Group (1) was further classified into 3 sub-groups according to 4 chosen parameters from the published guidelines of American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) into: Mild AR, Moderate AR, and Severe AR.

  All patients and controls underwent echocardiographic examination including conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler study and Two Dimensional (2-D) Speckle Tracking Echocardiography.

Results: GLS showed the highest sensitivity and specificity in detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction in moderate AR. In moderate AR,a cut off value of > (-19.62) has sensitivity and specificity of 91.3% and 95.5% respectively, with Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value ( NPV ) of 87.5% and 96.9% respectively, Area under curve (AUC) of 0.981. In all types of AR, GLS had higher NPV than PPV which makes it a powerful screening tool for early detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction.

Conclusion: Global Longitudinal strain measured by 2-D speckle tracking echocardiography is an excellent tool for early detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with chronic AR

Authors: Flamerz Bassam M. , Faraj Moneer K. , Ibrahim Ahmed H.
Published: December 2020

Background: Patients who have both neurological impairment and kyphotic deformity can be treated medically, and this treatment can be achieved with anti-tuberculous drugs alone.

Objective: To evaluate conservative medical management of patients with tuberculosis of the spine (Pott disease). The prognostic significance of various clinical, radiological, and long-term follow-up findings in these patients was also evaluated.

Methods: Between January 2009 and January 2018 data were collected prospectively at The Neurosciences Hospital/ Baghdad/ Iraq in 44 patients with Pott disease in the thoracic and lumbar spine. These patients had no major neurological deficits or severe spinal deformities. The study population consisted of 21 male (48%) and 23 female (52%) patients, with a mean age of 42.1 years (range 10–70 years). The most common region of Pott disease was the thoracolumbar junction (18 cases; 41%), followed by the thoracic (16 cases; 36%) and lumbar (10 cases; 23%) regions. With the exception of two cases, all had kyphotic angles less than 30°. At presentation, 20 patients had neurological signs of spinal cord compression during clinical examination. Clinical , radiological, and laboratory investigations findings were used in all cases for diagnosis. All patients were treated with anti-tuberculous drugs, and the disease in only two (4.5%) was resistant to the regimen. The follow up period was 24 months.

Forty-two (95.4%) of the 44 patients were successfully treated with conservative medical management and attained acceptable spinal deformity angles, and none of these patients had any residual instability, radiculopathy, or neurological compromise. Only 4.5% of the patients experienced residual spine deformity (as much as a 30° kyphotic angle), which was clinically obvious but biomechanically stable.

Conclusions: Patients with Pott disease in the lumbar and thoracic regions, without neurological deficits or kyphosis, can be treated conservatively in the vast majority of cases. Indications for surgery need to be redefined given these new data.
Association of radiological osteoarthritis of the knee joint with locomotor disability
Authors: Jasim Nizar Abdulateef
Published: December 2020

Background:  Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common joint disorder leading to considerable pain and locomotor disability in lower limb function. Locomotor disability, which is difficulty in activities of daily living related to lower limb function, can be the consequence of KOA, so early diagnosis and management may improve quality of life.

Objective: To assess the contribution of radiological osteoarthritis of the knees to disability in the activities of daily living related to lower limb function.

 Methods: One hundred twenty Iraqi KOA patients (104 females and 16 males) who were attending to Rheumatology Unit, Full history was taken and complete clinical examination was done for all patients. Wight-bearing X-rays of both knees (anteroposterior and lateral view) were taken for patients and were graded according to Kellgren and Lawrence scale.

Results: The frequency of locomotor disability, was 62.50% for men and 72.11% for women (p=0.431). The frequency of radiological osteoarthritis of the knee was 50% for men and 40.37% for women (p=0.651). There was significant statistical differences between; locomotor disability, and increased age, morning stiffness, muscle wasting & BMI (p=0.000, p=0.003, p=0.002 and p=0.028 respectively). There was no statistical significant association between; KOA radiological grading, and gender, morning stiffness, BMI & lower limb locomotor functions disability (p=0.651, p=0.357 and p=0.972 respectively).

Conclusion:  Radiological osteoarthritis of the knee is only weak independent predictors of locomotor disability. Patient's age, pain of the knees, muscle wasting, morning stiffness and obesity seem to be the most important independent determinants of locomotor disability.

Background: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon.Loop ileostomy might be helpful in the management of the disease.

Objective: To evaluate the role of loop ileostomy in the management of ulcerative colitis.

 Methods: Between Januarys 2008 and January 2018, patients with fulminant ulcerative colitis resistant to medical therapy had been referred to our surgical unit and were included in our study. Assessment of the patients’ medical status (serum electrolytes, total serum protein, complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, general stool exam,and abdominal ultrasound and x-rays) and psychological statuswere done and then preoperative status correction followed by defunctioning loop ileostomy operated upon them and followed postoperatively in hospital for the response fortwo weeks of hospitalization.

Results: Twenty patients were included in the study, two patients died postoperatively due to comorbidities and pulmonary embolism. Eighteen of twenty patients had a gradual improvement clinically (mucus diarrhea with/without blood, weight gain, fever, psychological and edema) and in hematological and biochemicalvalues (complete blood count, serum albumin protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and electrolytes) within two weeks.

Conclusion: Defunctioning loop ileostomy is a simple,less morbidprocedure if compared to other medical treatments which can change the complication features of fulminant ulcerative colitis towards either continue in medical therapy or towards definitive curative surgery and cost effective as it decrease the need for expensive medications.
Thyroid Hemiagenesis with Ipsilateral Parathyroid Adenoma; Case report with Review of the Literature
Authors: Alnaser Mumtaz K
Published: December 2020

Thyroid hemiagenesis (THA) is a rare congenital anomaly in which one lobe of thyroid gland fails to develop during embryological stage. Agenesis may be unilateral, total or isthmic. Left thyroid lobe is more commonly involved than right lobe in hemiagenesis. Agenesis of the isthmus was seen in 50% of cases. Left sided hemiagenesis is more common than right sided hemiagenesis with a Left to right ratio of 4:1. Clinically patients can be euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. Often it is diagnosed as an incidental finding during ultrasonography (USG) study of neck, which can easily diagnose this condition.

Actual incidence of THA is unknown; most cases are diagnosed in patients admitted for thyroid scan or thyroid surgery because of suspicion of other thyroid abnormalities. This explains high frequency of association of hemiagenesis with other thyroid abnormalities such as multinodular goiter, adenoma, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, chronic thyroiditis, and carcinoma.

Khaladkar, et al. emphasized that surgeon when planning a thyroidectomy must be aware of rare anatomical variations because such anomalies are not noticed in the differential diagnosis, investigations and treatment.

We report a rare case of 46 years old female patient who presented with nontoxic nodular goiter and intraoperatively we found a right sided multinodular goiter including the isthmus with complete absence of the left thyroid lobe with ipsilateral inferior parathyroid adenoma which is according to the available studies is the sixth case recorded worldwide till now.

RECORD MATCHING FOR WEB DATABASES BY DOMAIN-SPECIFIC QUERY PROBING
Authors: ALEKHYA V. , NAIK DS.BHUPAL
Published: December 2020

Record matching refers to the task of finding entries that refer to the same entity in two or more files, is a vital process in data integration. Most of the record matching methods are supervised, which requires the user to provide training data. These methods are not applicable for web database scenario, where query results dynamically generated on-the- fly. To address the problem of record matching in the Web database scenario, we present an unsupervised, online record matching method, UDD, which effectively identifies the duplicates from query result records of multiple web databases. First, same source duplicates are eliminated by using exact matching method the ―presumed‖ non duplicate records from the same source can be used as training examples . Starting from the non duplicate set, we use two cooperating classifiers a weight component similarity summing classifier and an SVM classifier, to iteratively identify duplicates in the query results from multiple Web databases.

Egalité des sexes selon les politiques éducatives: analyse des textes de communication politique en Turquie
Authors: EREN Ebru
Published: December 2020

Dans le présent travail, les notions d’égalité des sexes, de politique éducative et de communication politique seront abordées dans leur relation triangulaire et dans la même problématique. Qui dit « communication politique » dit « politique éducative », qui dit « politique éducative » dit « égalité des sexes ». Il existe une relation de causalité entre ces notions de « communication », de « politique » et d’« éducation ». Car la nature des activités de communication politique l’exige et l’ensemble est sans doute interdépendant. Prenant en compte l’ancrage sociopolitique du contexte turcophone, il faudrait se demander si et comment les activités de communication politique influencent l’égalité des sexes en matière de politiques éducatives en Turquie. Comment cette relation triangulaire transforme-t-elle l’égalité des sexes en un produit idéologique au sein des politiques éducatives en Turquie? Pour ce faire, nous analyserons les textes de communication politique en contexte turcophone, tels que les programmes des partis politiques (AK Parti, CHP, HDP, MHP et İYİ Parti) et leurs manifestes électoraux relatifs aux Elections Générales du 24 Juin 2018 en Turquie. Ceci montrera le rôle de la communication politique au niveau de la détermination et de l’application des politiques éducatives qui sont quant à elles, basées sur l’égalité des sexes en Turquie.
Was Rhoda Insulted? Re-Reading the Translation of Acts 12:15 in the Asante-Twi Bible
Authors: FOSTER ASAMOAH EMMANUEL
Published: December 2020

Bible translation is among the most difficult exercises in scholarship, for it needs careful analysis of the biblical texts in the light of the culture of the indigenous people to make the word of God acceptable in their culture, while not deviating from the original meaning. The Asante-Twi Bible (2012) is a product of Bible translation exercise in contemporary scholarship. However, there exist in it some translation problems; some texts which are said by Christians have been translated to carry verbal insults and derogatory remarks in the Asante-Twi language, which are not what the Greek texts intended. An example is Acts 12:15, which suggests that Rhoda was insulted by a group of Christians for saying the truth. Using Mother-tongue Biblical Hermeneutics and exegesis, the study has found out that the translation of οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπαν· Μαίνῃ… (hoi de pros auten eipan…) (“And they said: You are mad!”…) as “Na wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Woabɔ dam!...” (And they said to her: You are mad!...) in the Asante-Twi Bible should rather be: “Nanso wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Biribi ha wo!...” (But they said to her: You are troubled!...). The study has added to the interpretations of Acts 12:15 in Asante-Twi. It is being recommended that in the future revision of the Asante-Twi Bible, the Bible Society of Ghana should consider using “Na wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Biribi ha wo!...” in the translation of οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπαν· Μαίνῃ… (hoi de pros auten eipan…).

Delivering a UK/USA Program in Ghana: Opportunities, Challenges and Risk Mitigating Strategies
Authors: GHANN PATRICIA , YEBOAH ABRAHAM ABENA
Published: December 2020

Education helps in creating innovations and meeting the growing needs of every nation. Thus, the development of a nation can be ascribed to its educational system: not through the buildings it has put up, the roads and, bridges it has constructed, but by the human resources it has developed through a well-defined educational system. In the absence of well-defined educational system, the nation can hardly develop and maintain its infrastructure and resources.
Thus, the growth of any society is not possible without education. In this paper, we elaborate on how Ghana can strengthen its educational system and promote accelerated development, by encouraging Institutions to run or deliver UK/US programs in some selected Institutions in the country to either amend or improve on its educational system and promote accelerated development. This will provide opportunities such as reducing the unemployment rate and also reducing the brain-drift among the youth. Some of the challenges to the above were identified as: high cost of tuition, difficulty in acquiring accreditation for programs, lack of infrastructure and qualified lecturers. To help mitigate the risks that might be associated with delivering a UK/US program in Ghana, Institutions need to undertake extensive and comprehensive research to primarily identify the need of the country where these programs would be delivered and also develop partnerships with institutions in these countries to formulate a plan suited to the nation’s needs.

Key Words: Education, Ghana, Development, UK/US programs and Opportunities.
Reading Isaiah 2:1-5 in the Light of YHWH’S Mission: A Linguistic Analysis
Authors: KWABENA MARFO ELISHA
Published: December 2020

Scholarly discussions on Isaiah 2:1-5 have centered on the relationship of the passage to its parallel in Micah 4:1-3. As this debate remains inconclusive, there is the neglect of the theological motif(s) the prophet seeks to espouse. A cursory reading of the book of Isaiah may reveal that the author has a penchant for developing themes through paradigmatic expressions throughout his visions. Through a literary and linguistic analysis, this study argues that Isaiah 2:1-5 describes YHWH’s vision concerning His Mountain and the Torah and their importance of mission to the nations. Zion/Jerusalem is the focal point of YHWH’s missionary strategy/work on behalf of all the nations. Zion is a strategic center for the instruction and teaching of YHWH’s law, ways, and words. Both the nations and Israel are to submit to these instructions. To receive YHWH’s blessings, instructions and to benefit from His judgment and rebuke, the nation’s come to Zion in their own accord.

Políticas públicas para gestão de riscos: Aquisição de direitos ou reprodução da injustiça ambiental? Reflexões baseadas no caso do bairro Córrego D’Antas, Nova Friburgo (RJ)
Authors: De Carvalho Nathalia Lacerda
Published: December 2020

Após o desastre ambiental ocorrido na Região Serrana do Rio de Janeiro em janeiro de 2011, o governo federal instituiu a Política Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil (Lei nº 12.608/2012). A fim de abrir questões em torno da gestão de riscos, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o papel do protagonismo comunitário na consolidação do sistema de alerta e alarme, como forma de avaliar sua consistência enquanto política pública. Os resultados mostram que os moradores não foram mobilizados para participar das etapas de elaboração, implementação e aprimoramento do programa. Além disso, possuem outras prioridades em suas pautas, como o avanço na reconstrução do bairro e a interrupção de remoções forçadas. Sendo assim, cabe questionar o direcionamento destas iniciativas, voltadas para o deslocamento das pessoas (temporário, como no caso do sistema de alerta) e em remoções, sem orientar suas ações para um horizonte de superação da segregação sócio-espacial e das injustiças ambientais, garantindo o direito à moradia digna. Para isso, faz-se necessário garantir espaço político para a expressão dos indivíduos e sua percepção; construir estratégias de atuação a partir das particularidades dos sujeitos que vivenciam as situações de risco; e, também, dar visibilidade às suas lutas simbólicas.
La minería colonial y las raíces del Capitaloceno: Habitus extractivista y mineralización de la condición humana
Authors: Machado Araoz Horacio
Published: December 2020

Este artículo propone un análisis de la minería moderno colonial como un detonante fundamental del Capitaloceno. Se busca mostrar cómo la irrupción de ese tipo histórico específico de explotación de las “riquezas” minerales de la Tierra, nacida de la invasión y conquista del “Nuevo Mundo”, desencadenó toda una serie de grandes desplazamientos no sólo geológicos sino también antropológicos (ecobiopolíticos) que terminaron finalmente desembocando en lo que hoy comprendemos como la Era del Capitaloceno.Como motor clave de la empresa colonial, la minería de metales preciosos practicada intensivamente a partir del siglo XVI ha involucrado una drástica alteración geosociometabólica sobre la faz de la Tierra. El ritmo y volumen de los flujos de minerales movilizados, extraídos (de unos territorios) y luego desplazados y procesados (en otros lejanos destinos geográficos y usos sociales), ha ido creando no sólo la cartografía económica y política propia de la Modernidad colonial que hoy habitamos; no sólo ha ido transformando la composición, morfología y dinámica de las capas geológicas y de la  atmósfera del planeta, sino que también, ha afectado decisivamente la propia composición y (auto)comprensión de lo humano; al fin y al cabo, componente también de la Tierra.

Invasive treatments to the children during the period of hospitalization cause pain reactions. The nurses need to know the factors related to pain reactions. The study aims to identify the factors related with pain reactions related to invasive treatments. The design of this study is observational research with cross sectional approach by using non probability sampling method through consecutive sampling with the amount of 90 children respondents. Multivariate data analysis use multinomial regression statistic test. The result of the analysis indicated that there was a significant relationship between fear and pain reaction (p value = 0,018). The emergence of pain reaction “avoidance” from the children who are in fear is as much 5 times greater than children who are not in fear. Nurses need to conduct nursing interventions that can reduce fear in the children behavior in order to minimize pain reaction in form of avoidance.

Cancer is a collection of abnormal cells formed by cells that grow continuously, not limited, not coordinated with surrounding tissues, and not physiological functioning (Price & Wilson, 2005 in Nurhidayah, Hendrawati, Mediani, & Adistie, 2016). The case of cancer in children amounted to 4.7% of cancer at all ages. Indonesia is a country with high cancer cases suffered by children. Parents can make preventive efforts by identifying cancer-causing risk factors. Cancer prevention needs to be done to suppress the amount of morbidity and mortality of cancer. Efforts undertaken to prevent cancer by avoiding the risk factors of cancer-triggers. Preliminary study obtained parents ' knowledge about the risk factor of cancer is quite good, but there is no explanation about its relationship with the cancer prevention attitude that parents do to the child. This research aims to determine the relationship between parents ' knowledge and the prevention of cancer in children. The design of this research uses a descriptive cross sectional to figure out the knowledge level of parents on cancer risk factors in children, and its relation to the attitude of cancer prevention in children. The analysis used is using the Chi square test. The results of the univariate study obtained the most level of knowledge of respondents was good, and attitudes towards the prevention of cancer was positive. Results of bivariate analysis obtained there are no relationship between parental knowledge with cancer prevention (pvalue: 0.396; p > 0.05). The recommendation of this research is to keep parents improving their knowledge of cancer in children and applying cancer prevention efforts in daily life.

Authors: Rodríguez-Arana Muñoz Jaime
Published: December 2020

La contratación pública ha sido contemplada desde hace largo tiempo como una tradicional forma de actuación bilateral de la Administración y explicada a partir de la categoría general del Derecho del contrato. Sin embargo, se trata de una destacada política pública a través de la cual el poder público ofrece a los ciudadanos bienes y servicios que deben contribuir a la mejora de las condiciones de vida de los habitantes. En este sentido, su incardinación en el Estado social y democrático de Derecho permite caracterizar a la contratación pública con una serie de notas que son objeto del presente estudio.

Um monumento ao sertão? Expectativas diversas em torno da construção do açude Cedro, em Quixadá-CE (1884-1906)
Authors: Monteiro Renata Felipe
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo entender o processo de construção do açude Cedro, entre 1884 e 1906, e as expectativas em torno dessa construção. Em 1884 aportou na província do Ceará a Comissão de Açudes e sua comitiva de engenheiros, com o propósito de construirum “grande açude” que resolvesse definitivamente o problema da seca, desenvolvesse as práticas agrícolas e melhorasse a vida da população. O sertão de Quixadá foi escolhido para abrigar esse grande monumento hidráulico. Pessoas com experiências diferentes, de várias partes do país e do exterior, foram para lá; no entanto, no decorrer da construção, houve inúmeras críticas e dificuldades para concluir essa obra pública: transporte deficiente, falta de mão de obra, entre outras. Além disso, o anseio do governo de obter rentabilidade com as águas do açude Cedro não se concretizou imediatamente. Dessa forma, com o passar do tempo arrefeceram-se as expectativas das autoridades governamentais e dos engenheiros de concretizarem as propostas iniciais do projeto de açudagem.

Promoção à inovação por meio das políticas institucionais nas Universidades brasileiras: uma reflexão sobre as iniciativas aprovadas entre 2016 e 2020
Authors: Varrichio Pollyana Carvalho
Published: December 2020

PROMOÇÃO À INOVAÇÃO POR MEIO DAS POLÍTICAS INSTITUCIONAIS NAS UNIVERSIDADES BRASILEIRAS: UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE AS INICIATIVAS APROVADAS ENTRE 2016 E 2020O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o impacto do novo marco legal da CT&I na institucionalização das políticas de inovação pelas universidades brasileiras. Para tanto, baseou-se em pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, fundamentada na sistematização e análise secundária dos dados disponíveis nos relatórios do FORMICT (de 2010 a 2016) e nos websites das Universidades Federais e Estaduais do Brasil. Constatou- se que a legislação federal de 2016 constitui-se em importante mecanismo indutor para a elaboração e a publicação das políticas de inovação nas universidades federais brasileiras. Entretanto, a legislação falha ao deixar lacunas quanto à forma de avaliação desta política, quanto ao prazo para seu cumprimento pelas ICTs e ao deixar de remeter obrigatoriamente ao FORMICT, que já é utilizado pelo MCTIC e preenchido anualmente pelos NITs. Tal situação gera perdas na eficácia da política inovação nacional diante da inexistência de indicadores que possam permitir o acompanhamento sistematizado dos resultados das políticas de inovação institucionais.
A dimensão política do pensamento de Celso Furtado
Authors: Valente Marcos Alves
Published: December 2020

Objetivo: o presente estudo tem por objetivo apresentar os trabalhos políticos de Celso Furtado enquanto parte integrante de sua teoria do subdesenvolvimento. Métodos:  o método histórico do contextualismo linguístico serve de base para investigar os usos e significados atribuídos por Furtado à ideia de desenvolvimento, conceito aqui interpretado como conceito essencialmente contestado. Resultados: argumenta-se que Furtado, ao apontar a centralidade dos conflitos como fonte de democratização e do planejamento como meio de transformação social, se defrontou com tensões sociais que se transformaram em obstáculos políticos intransponíveis para o sucesso de suas estratégias de mudança através da política econômica. Embora essas tensões, segundo interpretes do período, tenham se expressado em sua obra numa igual tensão entre uma dimensão democrática e outra tecnocrática de seu pensamento, argumenta-se que a complexidade de sua obra revela a complexidade de um sistema político e econômico no qual Furtado forjou uma nova concepção de desenvolvimento econômico, expressa no conceito de subdesenvolvimento
