Published: October 2021

Background: Most of the countries including India have witnessed two or more waves of Covid 19 pandemic. The present study was conducted to compare the differences in clinico-demographic characteristics and outcomes of Covid 19 patients admitted in first and second wave of Covid 19 pandemic in a tertiary care hospital at Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care Dedicated Covid hospital for Covid 19 at Jalgaon, Maharashtra. All microbiologically proven corona positive patients were included in the study. The demographic records and clinical history was extracted from the case history sheets of the patients from first as well as second wave using standardized data collection form. Clinical outcome of the patients, i.e., development of complications, death or discharge was also recorded for each enrolled subject. Results: 3845 patients of Covid-19 admitted in the hospital during the first wave of epidemic and 2956 patients during second wave of the epidemic were included in the study. The mean age of patients admitted in the second wave was significantly lower as compared to first [48.77(15.31) years vs 50.23 (14.33) years, P<0.005]. There is increase in proportion of patients in the age group of < 15 years in second wave as compared to first wave (74/2956, 2.5% vs 52/3845, 1.3%). The number of patients requiring admission in ICU at the time of admission increased by 13% in second wave as compared to first wave. [827/2956 (28%) vs 577/3845(15%), P<0.0001]. More than half of the patients who got admitted for Covid 19 in first as well as second wave were having one or more comorbidities.But the proportion of the patients with previous co-morbities was significantly higher in second wave (1684/2956, 57% vs 1960/ 3845, 51%, P= 0.0004). The mortality was also higher in second wave (533/2956, 18.03% vs 541/3845, 14%, P=0.0004). Conclusions: The demographic, clinical characteristics and outcome of Covid 19 patients was different in first and second wave of pandemic with involvement of younger patients, increased rates of admission to ICU and more mortality in the second wave as compared to first wave of the pandemic.

Published: October 2021

Background: Gold standard surgical treatment for gallstone disease is Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Over the years surgical skills have been improved and also there is better understanding of pneumoperitoneum3 Pneumoperitoneum stimulate a neuro-hormonal stress response which lead to increases heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Present study was designed to study the effect of pneumoperitoneum on hemodynamic parameters and cardiac function in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with and without cardiac disease. Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, comparative study, conducted in department of anaesthesiology. Study group was patients 18-65 years age, with echocardiographic findings consistent with presence of moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Consented for participation, while control group was patients 18-65 years age, with normal echocardiographic finding, planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Consented for participation. Results: Total 30 patients were enrolled in this prospective trial; 15 in each group. (Study and control group). The mean age of patients are 55.6 years and 36.6 years in study and control group, respectively and difference was statistically significant. Sex distribution: In control group, male: female distribution is 1:1.2; while in the study group, male: female distribution is 1:4, and difference was statistically significant. On intragroup statistical analysis, in the control group a statistically significant fall in HR is noticed at T2 and T4 from T1. Conclusion: Present study showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be safely done in cardiac patients with moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction patients under the supervision of an experienced consultant anaesthesiologist.
A study of intrathecal low dose bupivacaine and fentanyl versus conventional dose of bupivacaine alone for elective caesarean section
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Anaesthesia, NRI Medical college, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA., M Rama Rao V
Published: October 2021

Background: Spinal anesthesia is the most common method of the regional block in cesarean section, because it is easy to perform, economical produces rapid onset of anesthesia, and good muscle relaxation, and most importantly, it gives immense pleasure to the conscious mother. To improve the quality of subarachnoid block, intrathecal opioids are used as adjuvants to Bupivacaine. Fentanyl has a rapid onset of action as a lipophilic opioid following intrathecal administration. Because of high lipid solubility, it undergoes rapid uptake by the spinal cord, and hence the chances of delayed respiratory depression are less. Methods: We randomly selected 60 patients belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I and II, who are scheduled for elective LSCS. These patients were divided randomly into two groups of 30 each. Group B received 10mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (2ml). Group BF received 7.5mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (1.5ml) with 25mcg of Fentanyl (0.5ml). Lumbar puncture was performed at the level of L3-L4 with 23 Guage Quincke Babcock's needle with the patient in the right lateral position. The sensory block was assessed with the loss of pin prick sensation, and the motor block was set using the Bromage scale technique. We also recorded the hemodynamic parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation. Results: No significant statistical difference was found in demographic data between the two groups. Group BF showed early onset of the sensory block with a P value of 0.001. Time taken to attain peak sensory level was early in the BF group with a P value of 0.001. The total duration of sensory block and duration of effective analgesia was longer in the BF group with a P value of 0.001. The onset of motor blockade was early in the bupivacaine only group with a P value of 0.02. Conclusion: The intrathecal fentanyl 25mcg reduces the dose of 7.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in cesarean section, thus reducing the incidence of side effects associated with it. By its synergistic effect with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, it provides better excellent sensory blockade and postoperative analgesia, good hemodynamic stability, less incidence of complications like Nausea, vomiting, and shivering without compromising the safety of mother and fetus in comparison to intrathecal 10mg of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine alone.

Physiotherapist can use any methods of therapeutic exercise to improve the exercise capacity and quality of life in hemodialysis patient. The study has designed a structured exercise program for hemodialysis patients in improving the exercise capacity and quality of life.
Managing Risk of Sex Offenders Released from Prisons: An exploration of how local communities respond to these events
Authors:   , Anderson Jordan
Published: October 2021

Throughout the main Anglo-American democracies, state power has been tested in recent decades by the presentation of the risks posed by sexual offenders. The capacity of the state to take decisive action in these jurisdictions has been significantly challenged by neoliberal restructuring from the 1980s onwards, and criminal justice has been one of many policy areas affected by the shrinking of central state power. The development of intolerance for risk of sexual harm posed specifically by offenders released from prison has provided an opportunity for the state to take unique action to maintain an impression of control. As governments have sought extraordinary legislative and policy measures to control or remove these specific risks of sexual harm from the community, communities and individuals have responded to their place in the ecosystem of the risk society.

The release of a high-risk sex offender into a community is a microcosm of the modus operandi of the modern state, providing a context through which the operation of the modern risk society can be examined. This thesis explores the reactions of three New Zealand communities to instances of de facto community notification of sex offender release, and explains the differences in their reactions through the lens of Zygmunt Bauman’s (2000a) Liquid Modernity. In each of the three case studies of Whanganui, Napier, and Ōtāhuhu I examine the processes around an instance of community release, the reactions of the community, and the impact of the incident within the community and the implications of this for our understanding of risk society.

We evaluated routine testing with SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant-specific RT-PCR in regional hospital laboratories in addition to centralised national genomic surveillance in the Netherlands during June and July 2021. The increase of the Delta variant detected by RT-PCR correlated well with data from genomic surveillance and was available ca 2 weeks earlier. This rapid identification of the relative abundance and increase of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern may have important benefits for implementation of local public health measures.
Native and “non-native” speech: debunking the myth of the linguistic being lightness
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Antonova Irina B.
Published: October 2021

The author attempts to analyze the phenomenon of language considered from the point of view of current philosophy that presents the lat- ter as the key object of its research. According to modern philosophers it is not enough to define language as a method of building up speech. Construing language as an instrument of shaping worldview by a human being is no less limited. Discrepancy in construing one and the same language by different partners of communication, mutual misunderstanding of each other in the process of speech interaction, inevitable mistakes elicited by both imperfection and complexity of the language – this is a non-exhaustive list of challenges that philosophy of language faces nowadays. In her aspiration to glimpse the interplay of language essence, the author undertakes an attempt to construe one of the most ambiguous definitions of language given by M. Heidegger in his “Being and Time”. While defining the language as “the house of Being”, Heidegger presents the latter as a method of expressing the essence of something that exists (Being). This definition confirms true Being and as a consequence – ambiguity of language that presupposes non-intentional cloaking of the meaning that requires its obligatory detection by means of interpreting and giving evidence to either super complex mechanism of language or to its extreme imperfection.
TRANSLATION ISSUES AND SEMANTICS OF PUBLICITY IN ADVERTISING AND POLITICAL DISCOURSES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Okuneva Irina O.
Published: October 2021

The article discusses translation difficulties of the term “publicity” from English into Russian in advertising and political discourses. Despite many translation equivalents that dictionaries offer, there is no universal, unambiguous and accurate equivalent for the term “publicity” in the Russian language, and the available variants often include additional evaluative connotations that the original English term does not contain. The context and type of discourse determine considerably the choice of a translation equivalent of publicity. It is noteworthy that the concept of “publicity” is one of the key ones in the political, advertising and public relations discourses – the areas that are currently developing under significant influence of the English language, culture and mentality. This article is intended to complete this gap. The article presents translation variants of the term “publicity” in dif- ferent contexts, and it is concluded that an adequate translation of the term depends on the pragmatics of political, advertising and marketing discourses, which determine the key seme of the term under consideration, which should be retained in the translation.The results of the work can be applicable in the fields of public relations, translation practice, ESP teaching and research into international communication, as well as to students studying English for specific purposes.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF EFFICACY OF FLIPPED LEARNING AS A NEW PEDAGOGICAL PARADIGM
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Vorontsova Irina I.
Published: October 2021

The article traces the escalation of the search for strategies of ac- tive cognition in the era of “Phygital” education. It relates the main provisions of the pedagogical technology of inverted learning, the didactic presumption of which is the transfer of the initial stages of mastering a new material to prelimi- nary independent work while using the class time for practical application of the acquired knowledge and creative activity at higher levels of the cognitive process. The philosophical principles of inverted learning are most clearly manifest- ed in the teacher-student synergetic tandem in the mainstream of humanistic pedagogy, consonant with Kant’s transcendentalism, which flips the idea of a passive subject and accentuates the active construct of cognition. As research methods the author chooses the analysis of various practices of working with English-language media content; examples are used to trace the efficacy of applying the flipped learning modus in the course of professionally oriented English for students of economics. The approbation work with video lectures results in analyzing causes of success and failure in employing elements of the flipped teaching technology, together with pros and cons that it can bring to teachers and students. The author concludes that the addressed educational paradigm can entail a change in priorities – from studying the material to its active assimilation for continued use.
THE ROLE OF TEXT AND METHODS OF WORK WITH IT IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT THE PRESENT TIME
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Baranova Tat’yana V.
Published: October 2021

The present article is dedicated to the necessity and importance of continuing teaching students to work with great amount of information in the form of texts, as well as to acquire methods and strategies of this work. Gradual but unfaltering rejection of the use of texts in teaching a foreign lan- guage can lead to lowering the level of its mastering. To understand the deep reasons for the existing situation in this sphere, it is necessary to look at the experts’ opinions of the new generation of young people. In spite of the quick changes in the world, education preserves its strict standards that establish the landmarks upon which the pedagogical and educa- tional processes are built. In the course of several last years the teachers of the department of foreign languages have participated in the preparation of English-language materials for the Olympiads, organized by the RSUH. The author analyzes strategies and tactics of work with big texts, selection of topics, used in these Olympiads, as well as the tasks, developed for operating such texts. These types of work with big amount of information lead us to the neces- sity of forming and developing in students such aspect of the communicative competence, as its text-forming component. Here we can speak about all the skills, technologies, tactics and strategies, that are used to facilitate the stu- dent’ work in the analysis of existing texts, creation of new texts, stimulation of class and home self-study in the spheres of creative scientific and artisticwork, for example, writing an artistic essay or a scientific article. And the basis for such work will be constituted by the text.
THE STUDY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES AS MEANS FOR THE DEVELOPING OF CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS OF MODERN STUDENTS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Ganzhara Ivanna V.
Published: October 2021

The issue of the development of civic consciousness of student youth is of considerable interest both for teachers of the Humanities in general and for teachers-researchers in particular. The article examines the problem of civic education among modern students in the process of studying at universities against the background of increasingly complex socio-political environment. The author analyzes the environment in which the development of civic traits of students takes place today, defines the socio-pedagogical features of their character and identifies possible causes of problems in the process of civic consciousness development at the institutions of higher education. The article considers various approaches to the definition of the concept of citizenship in modern pedagogical research and highlights its main structural components. Besides, it justifies the priority areas in which the process of educating a citizen should take place and emphasizes the demand to create conditions for the development of personal motives, interests and needs. The possibility to use the study of foreign languages in combination with various disciplines of the humanities for the purpose of developing civic traits of the individual is shown. The author also seeks to focus on the most effective forms of pedagogical influence on students in order to develop their civic consciousness during their studies at universities through the learning of foreign languages. Considerable attention is paid to various forms of extracurricular activities with students using the foreign language they are studying, which can influence very effectively over the formation of a solid citizen in today’s environment.

The examined children included 21 children with normal body weight (10 boys and 11 girls with the average age of 7.19 ± 0.56 years); 35 children were overweight/obese (15 boys and 20 girls with the average age of 7.37 ± 0.35 years). A group of children with sleep time less than eight hours was assigned depending on sleep duration assessment.

Results and discussion. The study included 56 children including 21 patients with normal body weight (37.5%), seven overweight children (12.5%), and 28 obese children (50%). The following significant differences were found between groups of obese and control children: physical inactivity was detected in 71.4% out of 35 obese children and in 23.8% of children in control group (p < 0.005, χ2 = 10.12). Sleep duration less than eight hours was observed in 34.3% of obese children and in 4.7% of healthy children (p < 0.01). Excessive consumption of carbohydrates was observed in 65.7% of obese children and in 19% of children with normal weight (p < 0.001). Intake of complex carbohydrates was approximately the same in both groups.

Conclusion. We identified the following risk factors for overweight and obesity in our study: (1) factors contributing to obesity were physical inactivity, excessive consumption of carbohydrates, and impaired sleep-wakefulness pattern due to decrease in sleep time at night less than eight hours; (2) consumption of recommended amounts of fresh fruits and berries was protective against overweight and obesity.

Published: October 2021

The nature and extent to which tasks are used in quality writing using the Task-Based Learning and Teaching(TBLT) is important in acquisition of French language. According to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) reports, performance in quality writing in French is poor maybe because teachers of French may be using TBLT only in teaching.  The purpose of this study was to assess the Task-Based Language Learning and Teaching (Actionable Perspective) of French in secondary schools in Kenya. The objective was to establish the nature and extent of TBLT use. The study was carried out in Nairobi City County where eight (8) secondary school teachers of French in Form three and one hundred and twenty-four (124) Form three students formed the study sample.  A quasi-experimental research design was used. The data collection instruments were; teachers’ and learners’ questionnaires and a lesson observation guide. These instruments for data collection were refined through a pilot study. Data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using descriptive statistics (means, ranks, frequencies, percentages, standard deviation).  It was presented in frequency tables and bar charts. The findings were that TBLT was not only being used in teaching and learning but also in assessment and choice of learning resources.  The study recommended use of TBLT alongside other methods, review of text books in line with TBLT, inclusion of TBLT in the syllabus at the teacher-training colleges/universities and mentorship programs in TBLT.

A challenge for instruction librarians is building strong, collaborative partnerships with faculty who value your expertise as both a librarian and a faculty member. This article discusses how a request to “help with citations” evolved into scaffolded information literacy instruction that focuses on the shared value of open resources and led to a partnership providing more opportunities to support each other.
Psychological Risk Factors of Terrorist Offenders in Indonesia
Authors: Sukabdi Zora A.
Published: October 2021

Psychological criminogenic factors for identifying terrorist offenders at risk of recidivism in Indonesia remain unclear; hence the adequate assessment to those involved with terrorism and measurement of effective terrorism rehabilitation are questioned. ‘MIKRA’ Risk Assessment was developed to identify individual criminogenic risk factors and needs of terrorist offenders in Indonesia. It is formulated to set up future parameters of effective terrorism rehabilitation. MIKRA study involved thirty-two eminent Indonesian counterterrorism experts and practitioners in semistructured interviews and qualitative data analysis. The study identifies 18 individual risk factors and needs of ideology-based terrorist offenders that are grouped into one of three higher order domains: Motivation, Ideology, and Capability.

The study examined corporate social responsibility and management of Oil-related conflicts in South-South Nigeria. The CSR was seen as rooted in the relationship between employee, business and State-social relationship. The aim of the study is to examine the level of relationship between the oil companies and the host communities. Objectives to Investigate the CRS programs carried out by IOC’s in the host communities, Ascertain the significance of CSR as conflict management strategy by IOC’s to the host communities, Evaluate the factors affecting the implementation of the CSR by some IOC’s in the region. The population of the study area was 2,358,000. The Taro Yamene formula for sample size determination was used to arrive at 400 for the study of the 27 host Communities. Three core oil producing States were selected. Out of these three State, three Local Government areas and three communities each based on their oil producing capacity. Data collection was semi-structured: questionnaire interviews, focused group discussion. Secondary data was by reports, books, and journals. Descriptive tool such as frequency, mean, standard deviation, tables and maps was used to answer research questions. The statistical tool for hypothesis testing was independent T test. The study revealed that frequent conflicts in the study area have been characterized by the relationship between Oil prospecting Companies and their host communities; a close look at the conflicts shows that most of such have direct or indirect link with IOC’s, as a result of inadequate CSR management. Some recalcitrant cash-in by way of vandalism, etc., others through legitimate agitations. The impacts of a supposed sustainable development of oil and gas exploration in the area is hitherto environmental degradations, e.g. effluents, unemployment, lack of social amenities, non-inclusion. The study recommended a practicable participatory paradigm shift, where planning with the Community will be mainstreamed.
Effect of proprioceptive sensation and feedback required for motor learning on function, activity, and daily life behavior of patients after nerve injury
Authors: Jung-Ho Lee
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of modified mirror therapy and taping therapy for providing feedback on upper extremity function, activity, and daily activities of stroke patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 20 stroke patients and randomly assigned 10 subjects to the experimental group and 10 to the control group. In the experimental group, after proprioceptive neuromuscular stimulation treatment, the mirror therapy program was implemented. In the control group, upper extremity taping was performed before proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation treatment. In this study, a prior evaluation using JTT, FIM, and MAL was performed before intervention to evaluate the patient's function and daily life behavior. Post-tests were performed after the last treatment. Results: In the paired-sample T-test used for within-group comparison of JTTs, FIM, and MAL, there was a significant difference between pre- and post-test for all groups. But there was no statistically significant difference between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 in an independent t-test conducted to compare the effect sizes of treatments. Conclusion: In other words, by applying mirror therapy and taping therapy that can increase proprioceptive sensation and feedback information in stroke patients, upper extremity function and daily activities can be increased.
