The communicative approach on the valorization of the phonological competence in a foreign language
Authors: USATÎI Larisa
Published: November 2024

The effectiveness of the pronunciation largely determines the success of the mastery of oral speech. Phonological competence is one of the important elements of speech culture, of general human culture. The speech is difficult to understand by the listener or is totally incomprehensible, if the speaker does not respect the phonological norms of the studied language, therefore difficulties also arise in the intercultural dialogue. Thus, the phonetic lab, articulatory agenda, articulatory gymnastics, as well as the typology of exercises contribute enormously to intelligible pronunciation which is helpful in the realization of the intercultural dialogue.

Authors:   Fourth-year General Surgery Resident, HGZ 3 IMSS, Aguascalientes, México., Humberto Bravo Jiménez , José Luis Bizueto Monroy ,   General Surgeon, HGZ 3 IMSS, Aguascalientes, México, Ivonne González Espinoza ,   General Surgeon, HGZ 3 IMSS, Aguascalientes, México
Published: November 2024

Background: Appendicitis is the most common abdominal infection and is the main surgical emergency worldwide, affecting approximately 1 in 11 people during their lifetime. Nowadays, distinguishing between uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis is increasingly important due to the increasing evidence supporting the possibility of treating uncomplicated appendicitis with antibiotics instead of resorting directly to surgery. This differentiation requires combining clinical findings with laboratory and imaging studies. In our hospital setting, where the use of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin or imaging studies represent an increase in the costs of health services or are not routinely available, the use of prediction systems that include inexpensive and accessible serum markers could improve early identification and therefore prompt management in this group of patients.

Objective: To identify the clinical performance of hyponatremia in patients undergoing open appendectomy with transoperative findings of complicated acute appendicitis in the adult population at the General Hospital of Zone No. 3, Aguascalientes, México.

Material and methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional and instrumental study, at the General Hospital of Zone No. 3, part of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Aguascalientes delegation. By reviewing the records of adult patients undergoing appendectomy with intraoperative findings of complicated acute appendicitis, in the period from February 1, 2023 to February 1, 2024, obtaining preoperative serum sodium values, seeking to identify the diagnostic accuracy of hyponatremia in the determination of complicated acute appendicitis.

Results: There was a significant diagnostic performance with hyponatremia at its cut-off point of 133 mEq/L in the determination of complicated acute appendicitis. A sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 81.4%, NPV of 100%, PPV of 45.2%, LR+ of 2.16, LR- of 0.652 and a Youden index of 0.814 were determined.

Conclusion: Hyponatremia can be useful in the diagnostic approach to acute appendicitis in hospitals with limited resources, guiding the surgical resolution of the condition, as well as the rapid establishment of a postoperative intravenous antibiotic regimen, reducing hospital expenses after limiting the morbidity generated by severe forms of this disease.

Why is it Difficult to Discharge from Internal Medicine Departments?
Authors:   UOC General Medicine Sea Hospital, Carolina Bologna
Published: November 2024

Background and Aims
The difficult discharge and blocked beds represent the main critical
issues in internal medicine departments. The causes of difficult
discharge should be understood on the first day of hospitalization
to facilitate better planning. The BRASS INDEX (Blaylock
Risk Assessment Screening Score) is a valid screening tool for
identifying patients at risk of difficult discharge. The BRASS
score does not take into account malnutrition and sarcopenia,
medical complications that are often related to a longer length of
hospitalization or the need for residential care.
Material and Methods
We correlated the BRASS to the MNA-SF and proposed a
new score dedicated to complex patients in Internal Medicine.
86 consecutive patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine
department were enrolled and were assessed with our score within
48 hours of admission.
Results
Cognitive status and malnutrition represent the main risk factor
for difficult discharge.
Discussion
We believe it is essential to use this new score for Internal Medicine
to evaluate the risk of difficult discharge which includes important
aspects as malnutrition and cognitive behavioural state. The
holistic approach that evaluates social, psychological, cognitive
and nutritional aspects is to be considered indispensable.

Authors: Orazov Mekan R. , Radzinsky Viktor E. , Dolgov Evgeny D.
Published: November 2024

Family planning is a fundamental concept for building and development of society in the 21st century. The beliefs that developed over the last century and the priorities that changed resulted in the ecological and reproductive dissonance, the main consequences of which are the increasing age at first birth, decreasing total fertility rate, and increasing incidence of gynecological diseases. Hormonal contraception is one of the main family planning methods, which makes it possible to build up reserves for women’s reproductive health preservation and effectively control reproductive function. In turn, combined oral contraceptives (COCs) represent the most convenient method. Recently, an innovative estetrol/drospirenone-based COC, which, according to a number of studies, is among the most versatile and favorable in terms of extracontraceptive benefits, went on sale in the Russian Federation. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the available data and create a concise summary of the proven advantages of this COC in the context of a number of characteristics.

Purpose: Nosocomial infections pose a significant burden worldwide, particularly in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to determine predictors of nosocomial infections among geriatric patients at the University Teaching Hospital of Butare (CHUB) in Rwanda.
Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional cohort study over seven months included participants admitted to CHUB's Internal Medicine department from July 2023 to January 2024 with the aim to determine the Nosocomial infections predictors among elderly aged 61 years and above. The target sample size was 313, but a census approach with 400+ participants was used. Data collection involved physician examinations, laboratory testing, interviews, facility observations, specimen culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and logistic regression analyses.
Findings: The study included 206 participants who were screened infection-free at admission, predominantly from Southern Province (85%) and female (56%), with a median hospital stay of 3 days. Most were admitted from Kabutare District Hospital (22%) to Internal Medicine (90%). Age distribution peaked at 61 years and above (38.8%) and 60 years and below (61.2%). Unemployment was high (83%), especially among females (60%) and those with low education. Prior 30-day hospitalization occurred in 34%, mainly for non-communicable diseases (41%) and infections (20%). Chronic conditions were reported by 41%, commonly hypertension (37%), other non-communicable diseases (14%), and diabetes (10%). Recent antibiotic use was 23%, primarily ceftriaxone (54%). Urine samples dominated (55%), with prevalent pathogens like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus species. But more importantly this study demonstrated a strong association between nosocomial infection level and some predictors with significant P values as follows: time of stay (P=0.002), Health Care providers following WHO 5 Moments of hand hygiene (P=0.005), disinfection of medical devices by Health Care providers (P=0.036) and hands washing before taking medicines (P=0.047).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The environmental decontamination and antibiotic rotation policies should be implemented to manage Acinetobacter spp. infections. As well hand hygiene adherence and preventive measures for urinary tract infections will address Escherichia Coli infections. Efforts to mitigate the burden of nosocomial infections should prioritize the enhanced surveillance, establishing robust infection tracking systems across healthcare facilities, invest in antimicrobial stewardship and targeted interventions tailoring infection control practices to high-risk groups like geriatric patients.

Over the years, healthcare environments have evolved to improve patient health by implementing non-invasive methods that can alleviate stress, anxiety, and cognitive fatigue, all of which have a significant impact on patients’ outcomes. As hospitals tend to have a sterile and impersonal environment, it is critical to explore alternative therapeutic tools. This conceptual paper explores the potential of immersive media art as a therapeutic intervention in the healthcare environment to promote well-being and enhance patient outcomes through immersive nature-inspired experiences. The paper draws qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, and art therapists), patients, and industry experts, artists or designers, as well as observational data from the installations within healthcare environments can positively impact patient mental health and recovery. This study synthesizes insights from Stress Recovery Theory (SRT), Attention Restoration Theory (ART), and Flow Theory (FT) in psychology to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding how immersive nature-inspired interventions can enhance cognitive functioning, reduce stress, and improve emotional well-being in healthcare environments. The finding reveals that immersive media art can help to reduce stress, and these findings provide support for the idea that interactive media art is an effective means not only of cognitive restoration but also of attaining a flow state enabling emotional resilience. It also emphasizes the design of healthcare environments where biophilic and patient-centered spaces enhance and potentiate virtuosity in media arts interventions. This study contributes to the literature on art-based interventions in healthcare by highlighting the value of immersive, interactive environments that bridge the therapeutic qualities of nature and art. These findings provide insights for healthcare providers and policymakers seeking to implement alternative, patient-centered approaches to well-being. It provides an illustrative framework that could guide healthcare providers and designers in applying media arts to support holistic patient care conditions. Future research should explore diverse patient populations and examine long-term impacts on clinical outcomes.

Published: November 2024

On January 1, 2024, Somaliland’s president, Musa Bihi Abdi, and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). whereby Somaliland agreed to lease 20 kilometers of its coastline to Ethiopia for 50 years in exchange for Ethiopia formally recognizing Somaliland’s independence. The agreement was made in Hargeisa. Ethiopia would then be the first nation to acknowledge Somaliland’s independence. After signing an agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia known as a memorandum of understanding, which grants landlocked Ethiopia sea access in return for the recognition of Somaliland’s breakaway territory as a sovereign state, political tensions are high around the Horn of Africa. The potential recognition of Somaliland caused a diplomatic crisis between Ethiopia and Somalia. After the Republic of Somalia’s civil conflicts and the rule of Siyad Bare, this study examined the historical connection between Somaliland and Ethiopia. The second section examined the responses from Somalia, other countries, and intergovernmental organizations. This report examined the many diplomatic measures that Somaliland and Egypt implemented, to name just a few.
ZATIRANJE LJUDSKOGA DOSTOJANSTVA TIJEKOM KOMUNISTIČKE VLADAVINE NA PRIMJERU DR. JOSIPA GUNČEVIĆA
Authors: Brekalo Miljenko , Lukić Anamarija , Stipić Ivan
Published: November 2024

Dr. Josipa Gunčevića, jednog od važnijih brodskih uglednika, svećenika i pedagoga, naprasno su, bez suda, ubili partizani u Maceljskoj šumi 1945. godine. Kroz cijelo razdoblje komunističke Jugoslavije o njegovu radu i društvenome angažmanu gotovo da nema traga. Sporadičan spomen dr. Gunčevića automatizmom se ideološki negativno kontekstualizira bez znanstvenoga istraživanja i valorizacije. U radu se nastoji prikazati ukupan do sada poznat rad dr. Gunčevića na očovječenju društva u skladu s kršćanskim sustavom vrijednosti u koji je on beskompromisno vjerovao i zbog kojih je na kraju i ubijen. Autori pokazuju kako su ideje Josipa Gunčevića, nakon uspostave suvremene Republike Hrvatske, ponovno u jednom dijelu zauzele prostor zanimanja ponajprije katoličke, a onda i šire javnosti. U posljednje vrijeme podvrgnut ozbiljnoj znanstvenoj kritici Gunčevićev rad pokazuje niz vrijednosti za pedagošku znanost, povijest kulture i povijest ideja uopće. Autori, na temelju prezentiranog istraživanja, pokazuju potrebu nastavka rada na valorizaciji ostavštine Josipa Gunčevića te određivanju njegova stvarnoga doprinosa hrvatskoj znanosti i kulturi.

DOSTOJANSTVO STAROSTI NA POZORNICI SUVREMENOGA DRUŠTVA
Authors: Zovko Anita , Vukobratović Jelena
Published: November 2024

U teorijskome dijelu rada analizira se dostojanstvo osoba treće životne dobi u suvremenom društvu polazeći od temeljnih Načela Ujedinjenih naroda za starije ljude (Rezolucija 46/1991.). Dostojanstvo, uz pravo na neovisnost, društveno djelovanje, skrb i samoispunjenje temeljni je postulat kvalitetne starosti. Posljednjih tridesetak godina svjedoci smo ubrzane pojave starenja stanovništva ponajprije zbog produljenja životnoga vijeka. Primjereno tomu doneseni su mnogobrojni dokumenti kako bi se utjecalo na povećanje svijesti o potrebi povećanja kvalitete života osoba treće životne dobi te na smanjenje negativnih posljedica starosti. Unatoč donesenim dokumentima istraživanja pokazuju da je i dalje sveprisutna marginalizacija osoba treće životne dobi: od reklama do svakodnevnih situacija. Postavlja se pitanje koliko nam još deklaracija, strategija i dokumenata treba da bi starost dobila svoje pripadajuće dostojanstvo. Razmatraju se rezultati provedenih istraživanja o korelaciji umirovljenja i kvalitete života osoba treće životne dobi, o predrasudama prema tim osobama te o pokazateljima zadovoljstva starijih osoba. Postojeća sveučilišta za treću životnu dob, seniorski klubovi i gerontološki centri pozitivni su primjeri društvenih inicijativa i relativno novih načina afirmacije starosti u službi ostvarivanja temeljnih ljudskih prava i dostojanstva starosti. Promjena stavova o starosti nije (i ne smije biti) jednokratna akcija, nego kontinuirano djelovanje kroz afirmaciju starosti kao društvenoga resursa. Premda je pitanje dostojanstva starosti kompleksno pitanje, uvidom u izazove s kojima se susreću osobe treće životne dobi, ovaj rad nastoji dati smjernice budućim znanstvenim istraživanjima. Apelira se na moralnu i ljudsku potrebu za trajnim senzibiliziranjem javnosti o pitanju dostojanstva starosti. Naša kultura staje na stranu konceptualne globalne metafore života kao putovanja pri čemu je starost krajnja točka prije smrti. No, potrebno je starost gledati iz drugoga kuta i vidjeti ju metonimijski kao novu priliku i novu snagu, ponajprije kao ples sa životom koji označava samoispunjenje osobnoga identiteta do duboke starosti.

Authors: Patel Aditya , Singh Nidhi
Published: November 2024

Groundwater plays a crucial role in sustaining human life, agriculture, and ecosystems. However, due to increasing demand, pollution, and climatic variations, monitoring and analyzing groundwater levels and quality has become imperative. In this paper, we explore the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze groundwater levels and groundwater pollution, aiming to develop predictive models for sustainable groundwater management. The study investigates the application of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to predict groundwater levels, identify pollution sources, and assess contamination risks. By integrating environmental data, including rainfall patterns, land use, and pollution levels, the paper demonstrates how machine learning can provide more accurate, scalable, and real-time analysis for groundwater management.

Navigating a Post-Dobbs Era: Repercussions Faced by Marginalized Communities and the Future of Reproductive Justice
Authors: Legaspi Alyssa Mae Catipon
Published: November 2024

In June 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, revoking the federal protection of the right to receive an abortion, and leaving abortion policymaking to state legislatures. Approximately thirteen states have already enforced abortion bans as of April 2023, while some states are still struggling with legal challenges of the ban. Across the U.S., individuals with the capacity for pregnancy are left without legal protection to such a necessary medical procedure. However, abortion access is only the surface of what is taken away from pregnant people with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Exacerbated by race, class, and location of residence, pregnant people face major health, socioeconomic, and social losses that ultimately contribute to a poorer quality of life and overall setback in the movement towards reproductive justice. This paper explores the effects of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, by examining the realities of marginalized groups through the lenses of social welfare, public health, politics, and reproductive justice.
