Disability is associated with sexually transmitted infection: Severity and female sex are important risk factors
Authors: Brennand Erin A. , Santinele Martino Alan
Published: January 2022

It has been suggested that disabled people may experience higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI) due to health inequities and sexual education gaps. Using a pan-Canadian health survey, we sought to explore the association with disability and STI. Using the public use microdata file for the 2013–2014 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (Statistics Canada), the association between disability and STI was explored. Modelling included adjustment for age, ethnicity, geography, living arrangement, educational status, and marital status. Results were stratified for females and males, disability severity, and type. Both females (odds ratio [OR] 1.54, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.27–1.86) and males (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.03–1.62) with any impairments were more likely to report a diagnosis of STI. A graduated effect was seen, with the odds increasing as the severity of disability increased. Females with severe visual impairment (OR 6.88, 95% CI 2.13–22.17) had the highest association with STI. Associations were most consistently seen in females, suggesting sex differences in risk for disabled people. Given that Canadians living with disabilities are more likely to report having been diagnosed with a STI, future work is needed to further understand the causes. In the meantime, these findings signal a need for clinicians to ensure this group is engaged with STI screening, as well as the greater need for improved strategies to address the sexual health needs of those living with a disability of all severities and types.
The Sociological Myth of Family Decline
Authors: Caplow Theodore
Published: January 2022

We have been restudying the small midwestern city that Robert and Helen Lynd chose as a specimen of American society almost sixty years ago in order to discover how much social change has taken place. Between 1976 and 1979, we conducted 13 different surveys in Middletown, four of which were directly concerned with family attitude and behavior, and the others tangentially. The present paper leans most heavily on a 1978 survey of 303 housewives, almost exactly replicating a similar survey carried out by the Lynds in 1924, and a questionnaire survey of the attitudes and behavior of adolescents, administered to the entire high school population of Middletown in 1977, also an almost exact replication of a survey administered by the Lynds in 1924.
Constituting good citizen scientists within environmental citizen science discourse
Authors: Spoel Philippa
Published: January 2022

Approaching citizen science discourse as a form of epideictic rhetoric, in this paper I explore how citizen scientists are rhetorically constituted through public-facing communication by five Ontario-based organizations involved in water quality monitoring initiatives. Working from the perspective that it is important to consider both the macro-level (ideo)logics that frame these initiatives as well as their situated diversity and complexity, my analysis identifies shared and distinctive value-laden characteristics of the “good” water-monitoring citizen scientist interpellated by these organizations. This analysis contributes to our understanding of the shifting and complex interaction between governing logics and contextual specificities not only in the kinds of science that citizen science programs pursue but also of the kinds of citizens that they value and constitute.

Mengingat bahwa diskriminasi terhadap perempuan yang melanggar azas persamaan hak antara laki-laki dan rasa hormat terhadap martabat manusia, merupakan halangan bagi kedudukan perempuan, atas dasar persamaan dengan kaum laki-laki dalam kehidupan. Secara umum kondisi perempuan Indonesia mengalami perubahan sebagaimana yang tampak dalam laporan statistik tentang peningkatan pendidikan dan kedudukan perempuan dalam sektor publik. Namun demikian, di tengah-tengah budaya dominan Indonesia yang bersandar pada nilai-nilai patriarkhi, perubahan kondisi ini tidak berbanding lurus dengan perbaikan posisi perempuan di masyarakat.

Published: January 2022

We performed bibliometric analysis of the research papers published on clinical cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the last 50 years. We extracted bibliometric data from Scopus and PubMed from 1970 to 2020 pertaining to clinical studies of CSM. The predominant journals, top cited articles, authors, and countries were identified using performance analysis. Science mapping was also performed to reveal the emerging trends, and conceptual and social structures of the authors and countries. Bibliometrix R-package was deployed for the study. The total numbers of clinical studies available in PubMed and Scopus were 1,302 and 3,470, respectively. The most cited article was published by Hilibrand AS, as observed in Scopus. Regarding the conceptual structure of the research, two main research themes were identified, one involving symptomatology, scientific-scale-based objective evaluation of symptoms, and surgical removal of the offending culprit, while the other was based on patho-etiology, relevant diagnostic modalities, and the surgery commonly performed for CSM. In terms of emerging trends, in recent times there is an increasing trend of scale-based objective evaluations, along with investigations of advanced nonoperative management. The United States is the most productive country, whereas Canada tops the list for inter-country collaboration. The trend of research showed a shift toward noninvasive procedures.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes among minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF), extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF), and oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) techniques.Overview of Literature: To date, there are many reports comparing outcomes between MIS-TLIF and XLIF, MIS-TLIF and OLIF, or XLIF and OLIF procedures. However, there are no previous studies comparing clinical and radiographic outcomes among all these three techniques.Methods: Data from patients who underwent minimally invasive (MI) fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases at L4–L5 level was analyzed. Thirty patients each from MIS-TLIF, XLIF, and OLIF groups were recruited for propensity score matching. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of the back and legs and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Radiographic outcomes were also compared. The fusion rate was evaluated at 1 year after surgeries.Results: The clinical outcomes were significantly improved in all groups. The disk height was significantly restored in all groups postoperatively, which was significantly more improved in XLIF and OLIF than MIS-TLIF group (p<0.001). The axial canal area was significantly increased more in MIS-TLIF versus XLIF and OLIF (p<0.001). The correction of lumbar lordotic angle and segmental sagittal angle were similar among these techniques. OLIF and XLIF groups showed less blood loss and shorter hospital stays than MIS-TLIF group (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in fusion rate among all groups.Conclusions: MIS-TLIF, XLIF, and OLIF facilitated safe and effective MI procedures for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. XLIF and OLIF can achieve clinical outcomes equivalent to MIS-TLIF by indirect decompression. XLIF and OLIF showed less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and better disk and foraminal height restorations. In single-level L4–5, the restoration of sagittal alignment was similar between these three techniques.
TO THE QUESTION OF THE LEGAL REGULATION OF THE REMOVAL OF WAGONS EN ROUTE NOT TO BE USED BY A COUNTERPARTY VIA TRACKS NOT USED BY A THIRD PERSON (ADJACENT TO RAILWAY STATION OJSC «RZD») LOCOMOTIVES OJSC «RZD» OR COUNTERPARTY

THE THEORETICAL VALUE OF A REAL ESTATE OBJECT AS THE COST OF ITS RATIONAL USE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC JUSTICE
Authors: Vlasov A.
Published: January 2022

It is proposed to determine the economic value of real estate and natural resources of Russia on the basis of the Euler L. formula, according to which there is a continuous closed relief of economic potentials. Based on the calculated relief of the economic potentials of the space of property relations, the theoretical value of real estate objects and natural resources is calculated. The market price of transactions is a tool for determining (adjusting) the coefficients of the influence of price-forming factors, calculating the level of theoretical value, an indicator of the reliability of theoretical value.

It is proposed to adopt an axiom: the theoretical value of a real estate object is an economic standard for its rational use.

Globalization of Prosecutorial Justice: An Appraisal
Authors: Kasuri Muhammad Ramzan , Mahmood Ata Ullah Khan , Abbas Sheer
Published: January 2022

In the present world, public prosecutors (PPs) have become the most powerful actors in the criminal justice system (CJS). They excise unfettered discretionary powers, particularly 'decision to or not to prosecute,' 'add or delete the charges,' 'withhold or drop the prosecution,' 'withdraw the prosecution,' 'plea-bargaining with accused,''tender of pardon to the accomplice' and 'suggest the sentence for the convict.' By this way, the world is moving towards pro secutorial justice. It is a point of departure from judicial decision-making to pro secutorial decision-making. So, the theory of division of labor should be developed for standardizing decision-making power. With the help of comparative and qualitative research methodology, this research aims to examine the public prosecution of different legal systems; adversarial or inquisitorial, among the eastern and western countries. This article discusses comparatively the pro-active role of the PPs in the CJSs of Japan, the USA, China, the U.K,France, and Pakistan. Comparative study of public prosecution of different legal systems can enable us to revamp our system in the right direction for making it efficient, expeditious, and cost-effective.

Adolescent subdural empyema in setting of COVID-19 infection: illustrative case
Authors: Ljubimov Vladimir A. , Babadjouni Robin , Ha Joseph , Krutikova Viktoria O. , Koempel Jeffrey A. , Chu Jason , Chiarelli Peter A.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing viral pandemic that has affected modern medical practice and can complicate known pathology. The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes symptoms that may mimic a viral pneumonia, with potential for serious sequelae, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, coagulopathy, multiorgan dysfunction, systemic vascular abnormalities, and secondary infection.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe a case of a 15-year-old boy who presented with a right subdural empyema and sinusitis while having active COVID-19 infection. The patient initially presented with left-sided weakness, frontal sinusitis, and subdural empyema. Emergent surgery was performed for evacuation of empyema and sinus debridement. Samples of purulent material within the subdural space were tested for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The patient had a successful recovery and regained the use of his right side after combined treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a bacterial subdural empyema associated with frontal sinusitis in a coinfected patient with COVID-19 without evidence of COVID-19 intracranial infection.

LESSONS

A subdural empyema, which is a surgical emergency, was likely a superinfection caused by COVID-19. This, along with the coagulopathy caused by the virus, introduced unique challenges to the treatment of a known pathology.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Mycotic aneurysms (MAs) are rare intracranial pathologies. They are associated with spontaneous rupture, which is often the first presenting sign. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraparenchymal hemorrhage are the most common sequelae of ruptured MAs, with subdural hematoma being an atypical presentation. The presentation of an MA as a subdural empyema has not yet been reported in the literature.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors discussed a 68-year-old man who presented with subdural empyema and received surgery for evacuation. He was found to have a ruptured mycotic aneurysm intraoperatively.

LESSONS

This case demonstrated a rare and atypical presentation of an MA.

Води поверхневих водойм Рівненського природного заповідника,зокрема, озера Біле, мають аномально низький солевміст та твердість. Цей факт підтверджують результати проведених нами багаторічних і системних досліджень проб води. В статті приведено аналіз відповідних систематизованих даних. Це дозволило зробити висновки про можливість застосування вод озера Біле як еталонних для випробування обладнання та комп’ютерного моделювання водоочисних процесів. Розглянуто чинники, що можуть мати негативний вплив на сольовий стан вод (зокрема наслідки видобутку бурштину).

В статті розглянуто застосування синтетичних матеріалів, які представлені геотекстилем, геосітками, геомембранами, геокомпозитами та георешітками, що використовуються в різних сферах будівництва. Особливу увагу приділено георешіткам, особливостям їх роботи та використання як армуючих елементів в спорудах з ґрунтових матеріалів різноманітного призначення, в різних галузях народного господарства. Обґрунтовано ефективність та надійність їх роботи, включаючи роботу в сейсмічних регіонах. Головна мета застосування георешіток – підвищення міцності і надійності конструкції, її експлуатаційних показників, особливо в умовах сейсмічних впливів. Представлені розрахунки армованих споруд з ґрунту, які виконуються в два етапи: етап 1 включає розрахунок загальної (зовнішньої) стійкості споруди, при якому визначаються габаритні розміри споруди з армованого ґрунту та довжина георешіток. Етап 2стосується розрахунку на місцеву (внутрішню) стійкість (метод«подвійного клину»), при якому перевіряється міцність та вертикальний крок георешіток, міцність з’єднання георешіток з облицюванням. При влаштуванні споруд в сейсмічних районах в розрахунках стійкості враховуються сейсмічні дії. Зроблений аналіз роботи георешіток в різних спорудах, особливо при підсиленні ними споруд з ґрунтових матеріалів, а також при багаточисельних натурних випробуваннях в різних умовах при сейсмічних впливах. Визначені основні сфери застосування геосинтетиків. Представлені результати натурних випробувань споруд з ґрунтових матеріалів, підсилених георешітками, в умовах сейсмічних впливів та позитивний довід їх експлуатації в багатьох сейсмічних регіонах різних країн, які можуть бути використанні при прийнятті технічних рішень з підвищення ефективності роботи таких споруд і з вибору конструктивних рішень їх захисту від сейсмічних впливів.

Sunscreen Use among Medical Undergraduate Students in a Medical College: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Chapagain Kumud , Prasad Rauniar Gajendra
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Unprotected sun exposure could cause tanning, burning, hyperpigmentation, skin aging, and even skin cancer. Regular sunscreen use is a safeguard and a primary preventive strategy against sunlight-related damages. This study aims to find out the prevalence of sunscreen use among medical undergraduate students of a medical college of Eastern Nepal.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the current medical undergraduate students of 2 medical colleges in Nepal on sunscreen use from September 2020 to October 2020. Convenience sampling was done to reach the sample size of 300. Data collection was done after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC/1778/020). Data analysis was done by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 11.5 software. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.
Results: The prevalence of sunscreen users was found to be 227 (75.67%) (70.81-80.52 at 95% Confidence Interval) among whom only 35 (15.41%) were regular users. Majority 144 (63.43%) applied sunscreen only on the face, 72 (31.71%) considered reapplication, and 155 (68.2%) knew the Sun Protection Factor value of their sunscreen. Cosmetic sunscreen was considered by the majority of the users 151 (66.51%). Greasy feeling 73 (100%) was the reason for avoiding sunscreen use amongst the non-users 73 (24.34%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of sunscreen users among medical undergraduate students from our study was higher than other studies conducted in similar settings.
The Socio-Economic Pedagogy of Computerised Ifá Divination: A Conversation with Professor Danoye O. Laguda
Authors: Ofuasia Emmanuel csp.
Published: January 2022

In recent times, there has been the general public admission that it is possible for Ifá divination to be performed via smartphones and laptops. The implication is not far-fetched – the extinction of the babaláwo/ìyanifá, in the trio communication which comprises them, the client and Ọ̀rúnmìlà, the Yorùbá deity. What kind of education regarding the use of African ritual archives for contemporary problems can thrive? What are the possible educational problems and challenges that computerised Ifá divination may encounter in the long run? Will this make Ifá divination more effective and reliable since there is a disturbing number of quack babaláwo/ìyanifá around in recent times? Are there some important spiritual elements sacrosanct to divination that technology bypasses which may in turn diminish the accuracy of divination outcome(s)? How can these spiritual elements be overcome in a future development of technology for Ifá divination? How can original and fake Ifá priests be detected? What is the healing process in traditional Yorùbá medical practice and what role does Ifá play? In this pience, I engage Professor Danoye O. Laguda to consider these mind-boggling posers only to realise in the end that technology can be improved toward a better and improved divination technique, which cannot, do without the genuine babaláwo/ìyanifá. More so, the connection among pedagogy, technology, divination and spiritually are examined from a socio-economic dimension. This is able to illustrate the important role which pedagogy plays in the appreciation of traditional African ritual archives and how they function in making life meaningful in the face of the challenges posed by technology in a jet age.

Authors: Andrienko Tatiana , Genin Vlad , Nino Marko
Published: January 2022

The research of the educators’ perspectives on online learning of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students of public/ business administration conducted in the USA, Ukraine and a number of Asian countries, performed via mixed methodology combining qualitative (interviews and survey) and quantitative research methods, revealed general tendencies in the educators’ perceptions of losses and gains of online education. The prevalence of positive overall assessments, as well as numerous gains and opportunities for teachers and students show the prospects of online education development, specifically for working adults. The major benefits of learning online for the students include developing online communication and collaboration skills, teambuilding and teamworking skills, along with more opportunities to get education abroad without leaving their countries and interrupting jobs. For the faculty modern interactive and integrated online modality opens more opportunities for professional development as well as flexibility of schedules, savings on time and resources and ultimately better work/life balance. The analysis of problems in online learning revealed areas that require special attention of the educational institutions as well as educators, such as: creating the institutional basis for adapting the syllabi and developing new approaches to online teaching; providing the platforms for training and professional development; supporting the creation and development of multimodal instructional materials; introducing students’ learning outcomes testing methodologies which allow measuring the students’ progress and professional competences, skills and attitudes without close monitoring of their use of resources. With technological innovations, multimedia and interactive teaching tools, real-time learning tests and quizzes, online hides a huge potential for moving educational technologies and methodology to a new quality level, enriching onsite and hybrid modalities with new content and tools.
