Impact of aesthetic rhinoplasty on the respiratory function of the nose in patients with a straight nasal septum
Authors: Kljajic Vladimir , Dragicevic Danijela , Savovic Slobodan , Vlaski Ljiljana
Published: June 2022

Introduction/Objective. Aesthetically, the nose adds special signature to a person?s look. This results in many nasal pyramid surgeries, either functional or aesthetic. The problem arises in aesthetic surgeries. Patients often tend to present their dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose as a breathing difficulty, as they often lack the support of the environment in the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery. The objective of the paper was to examine, using subjective assessment and objective measurements, the change in the nasal respiratory function in patients who undergo aesthetic nose surgeries, despite having a straight nasal septum before the surgery. Methods. The study was conducted as a prospective, cross-sectional one, and involved 32 patients of both genders. Before and at six months after surgery all patients underwent subjective nasal breathing assessment using visual analog scale (grade 0?10) as well as objective nasal respiratory function assessment using rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry after anemization. Results. There were seven male and 25 female patients, age ranging 18?27 years. Objective measurements after surgery showed that the nasal cavity volume, minimum cross-sectional area, as well as the airflow through the nose reduced, while resistance to the nasal airflow increased, but with no statistical significance. The subjective assessment of nasal breathing statistically significantly improved after the surgery. Conclusion. The subjective assessment of nasal breathing postoperatively is not a relevant indicator of the objective state of the nasal respiratory function in patients after aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Authors: Nikolic Bojan , Andjelic Sladjana
Published: June 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an urgent need to revise the existing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines published in 2015. The coronavirus pandemic increased the rate of cardiac arrests, and the need for CPR. International resuscitation associations proposed updated resuscitation guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there is a clear consensus in most recommendations, there are also disparities. Their implementation in everyday clinical practice would alleviate the fear of health workers at the prehospital level and reduce the indecision to apply CPR in such patients as well.

Published: June 2022

Background/Aim. Although distal venous patch and cuff techniques are recommended to improve the patency of by-pass in the lower extremities, the advantage of these techniques remains unproven. Autovenous bypass graft remains the method of choice, but when there is no possibility of using the great saphenous vein, the venous cuff method may have an advantage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of femorodistal bypass procedures with a venous cuff in critical lower extremity ischemia. Methods. The study described the results of femorodistal bypass procedures after a follow-up period of 6 to 24 months. We followed 28 patients with distal composite anastomosis of femorodistal arterial reconstruction. Indications for surgical treatment were set on the basis of the clinical exam and morphological criteria based on multidetector computed tomographic angiography. Three types of distal graft-arterial anastomoses were applied: Miller?s cuff, Taylor?s patch, and St. Mary?s vein boot anastomosis. Results. After 6 months of surgery, all bypasses were passable; after one year, 2 (7%) patients had graft occlusion and above-knee amputation, and 8 (28%) patients died; after 24 months, 18 (64%) patients had primary bypass patency. Conclusion. Femorodistal bypass procedures using a synthetic graft and venous cuff have good long-term results. The optimal anastomosis type is St. Mary?s boot. A longer follow-up period and comparison with the autovenous bypass are necessary for a more detailed assessment of the final conclusion.

To overcome this problem, a teaching material that is able to deliver natural facts and phenomena to display in one place/space, the Electronic Student’s Working Sheet (ESWS) with 3D PageFlip is required. Material elaboration in this ESWS follows creative inquiry syntax with an orientation to the higher order of thinking skill (HOTS). The objective of this research was to describe the practicality and effectiveness of the ESWS with Creative Inquiry-Based and HOTS Oriented 3D PageFlip for online learning in improving self-efficacy and communication skills. This research used a static one-group pretest-posttest design. The research population was students in Public Senior High School 1 in Airnaningan, Tanggamus district, Lampung province. Two classroom samples were taken with cluster random sampling. Samples were divided into experiment and control groups. The experiment classroom was taught by using the ESWS with creative inquiry-based and HOTS oriented 3D PageFlip and the control group was taught by using a regular student’s working sheet containing questions and problems for exercises. Data were analyzed descriptively to describe self-efficacy understanding and communication skills. The differences in self-efficacy understanding and communication skills between experiment and control classrooms were analyzed with an independent sample t-test. The research result showed that the ESWS with creative inquiry-based and HOTS oriented 3D PageFlip was practical to use in physics learning with an average implementation score of 87.03 and with very positive students’ responses (94.44%). The ESWS with creative inquiry-based and HOTS oriented 3D PageFlip was also effective in improving self-efficacy and communication with n-gains of 0.77 and 0.80 respectively and they belonged to the high n-gain category.

Authors: Agudelo Vargas María Victoria , Viloria Ortega Norka Judith
Published: June 2022

La enseñanza de la ética, por tradición, se ha enfocado en la enseñanza de una norma; sin embargo, debe complementarse con otros elementos que permitan una valoración desde la interioridad del ser. El objetivo de este artículo fue examinar los elementos de la ética de la autenticidad como referentes en la formación del contador público. Una visión de la ética que va más allá de la mera aplicación de un código y se perfila como una posibilidad de autodeterminación en pro del bien común. Desde una perspectiva documental, se considera la propuesta teórica de Taylor y se compara con los requisitos mínimos que plantea la Norma Internacional de Formación, con la finalidad de recomendar acciones que mejoren la formación inicial del profesional del contador. Se concluye que es necesario incorporar en la formación profesional la perspectiva de horizonte de sentido, que conecte al “ser” con la actividad profesional.

Seroprevalence of immunoglobulin G antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents in Delhi, India, from January to October 2021: a repeated cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Sharma Pragya , Basu Saurav , Mishra Suruchi , Singh Mongjam Meghachandra
Published: June 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess changes in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immunoglobulin G (IgG) seroprevalence among children and adolescents in Delhi, India from January 2021 to October 2021Methods: This was a repeated cross-sectional analysis of participants aged 5 to 17 years from 2 SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveys conducted in Delhi, India during January 2021 and September to October 2021. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were detected by using the VITROS assay (90% sensitivity, 100% specificity).Results: The seroprevalence among 5- to 17-year-old school-age children and adolescents increased from 52.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 51.3%−54.3%) in January 2021 to 81.8% (95% CI, 80.9%−82.6%) in September to October 2021. The assay-adjusted seroprevalence was 90.8% (95% CI, 89.8%−91.7%). Seropositivity positively correlated with participants’ age (p<0.001), but not sex (p=0.388). A signal to cut-off ratio ≥4.00, correlating with the presence of neutralization antibodies, was observed in 4,814 (57.9%) participants.Conclusion: The high percentage of seroconversion among children and adolescents indicates the presence of natural infection-induced immunity from past exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, the lack of hybrid immunity and the concomitant likelihood of lower levels of neutralization antibodies than in adults due to the absence of vaccination warrants careful monitoring and surveillance of infection risk and disease severity from newer and emergent variants.
Towards an “ideal network” of cities

Published: June 2022

In a context of multiple crises with important urban dimensions, networks are an essential instrument of the international agenda of cities. They are, inter alia, a meeting place, a way of gaining access to knowledge and innovation,and a forum where strategies for political influence can be defined. At present, more than 200 international city networks comprise a rich, diverse and complex ecosystem. This profusion of networks on the international scale is causing tensions in a saturated system, which is sometimes unduly bureaucratised and not sufficiently oriented to results. There is an urgent need to strengthen the various kinds of political leadership, to open up these networks to new realities and voices, streamline their functioning, make them more flexible, and improve accountability concerning their impact in improving people’s quality of life.

Authors: Świerczyńska Marta , Tronina Agnieszka , Bogocz Michał , Mrukwa-Kominek Ewa , Filipek Erita
Published: June 2022

Background: We present a case of combined Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acanthamoeba and Candida keratitis and clinical course of treatment in two adolescents girls who did not follow the rules of proper use of soft contact lenses.

Case reports: Two teenage contact lens users sought medical attention, reporting visual impairment, redness and pain of the eye. Slit lamp examination showed unilateral corneal ulcer. Confocal microscopy revealed images compatible with amoebic cysts and yeasts cells, whereas the results of conjunctival swabs confirmed the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After topical and general treatment in the first patient, the corneal defect was healed, and visual acuity improved. The girl remains under the constant supervision of an ophthalmological clinic. The medications were gradually reduced, but with time she developed crystalline keratopathy. Regrettably, the second patient, despite the applied treatment had recurrent inflammation and progressive corneal thinning, which required amniotic membrane transplantation to prevent perforation.

Conclusion: The early identification of the pathogen as well as adequate treatment is crucial, as contact lens-associated keratitis are potentially sight threatening. Patient and caregiver education, adequate contact lens hygiene and consistent follow-up are important to prevent serious complications.

Authors: Sutherland Katja A. , Coe Jason B. , Janke Natasha , O’Sullivan Terri L. , Parr Jacqueline M.
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

To compare pet owners’ and veterinarians’ perceptions of veterinarian-client conversations concerning pet weight and identify challenges related to communication about weight.

SAMPLE POPULATION

Veterinarians (n = 24) and pet owners (27) in southern Ontario, Canada.

PROCEDURES

3 veterinarian and 5 pet owner focus groups were conducted with a semistructured interview format. Thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts was conducted.

RESULTS

Pet owners valued weight as an important health indicator for pets yet did not expect to discuss weight extensively at every appointment. Owners expected veterinarians to provide options and tailor recommendations when discussing weight management. Owners appeared more concerned with underweight animals, whereas veterinarians focused on obese animals. Veterinarians identified communication challenges, including the perception that owners are uninterested in discussing weight and conversations can become adversarial. Veterinarians reported various benefits and challenges of using humor to address pet weight and emphasized that weight-related conversations often depend on the existing veterinarian-client relationship.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Some perceptions of pet owner expectations expressed by veterinarians in this study align with owner preferences, yet several opportunities exist for changes to veterinarians’ approaches to weight-related communication with clients.

Authors: Poljičak Ana-Mari , Hinić Martina Ljubić , Kalac Antonio
Published: June 2022

In order to obtain a comprehensive insight into nautical tourism, we analysed the arrivals and overnight stays in nautical charters, as well as the number of registered vessels according to length, the number of ports and marinas and the number of berths. An analysis of the correlation between the observed nautical tourism variables was also conducted. The number of arrivals and overnight stays in nautical charters has been showing an upward trend. The number of yachts or, respectively, boats that are over 12 m in length has also been increasing. The number of marinas varies in the observed period, while nautical tourism ports display a constant growth. The number of berths has also been growing in comparison with the years before, with the exception of 2013 and 2017. The correlation analysis established that the growth in the number of marinas has followed the growth in the number of vessels with lengths between 12 and 15 metres, between 15 and 20 metres and those with lengths exceeding 20 metres. The number of nautical tourism ports and the number of berths have a positive and statistically significant impact on the increase in the number of vessels that are longer than 12 metres.

Authors: PRATAMA I PUTU YUDHI , DHARMAWAN KOMANG , SARI KARTIKA
Published: June 2022

Value at Risk (VaR) is a statistical technique used to manage and calculate the level of financial risk within a certain period of time and a certain level of confidence. VaR can be adjusted to liquidity risk which is called Liquidity adjusted Value at Risk (LVaR). Another alternative calculation is the Expected Shortfall (ES) which is a loss beyond the confidence limit that can occur due to liquidity. This study aims to estimate market risk with LVaR and ES on a stock portfolio incorporated in the LQ45 index using a Monte Carlo simulation. Furthermore, back-testing is carried out using the Kupiec test. The data used in this study are two stocks that are included in the LQ45 index which have the largest sales volume in a period of three years, namely ANTM and BBRI shares. As a result, it was found that the stock portfolio of ANTM and BBRI in the initial fund of Rp. 10,000,000.00 with a 95% confidence level, obtained ES of Rp.496.470,00 per day and an LVaR value of Rp 499.174,00 per day. The ES model obtained is less accurate while the LVaR model is accurate.

Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have been determined to be effective in cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Cell cryopreservation is widely used for long term preservation. However, cell cryopreservation is costly and labor consume. Therefore, cryopreservation of human umbilical cord (HUC) tissue has become an alternative solution to reduce the risks of disease and open up opportunities for later treatment for families in recent years. In this study, we evaluated the ability to isolate and the characteristic of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from fresh and frozen human umbilical cord tissue. The results showed that the HUCMSCs were isolated successfully from both fresh and frozen HUC tissues. The expression of MSCs cell surface marker CD73, CD90, CD105 in group 1 were higher than those in group 2, CD73 (99,42 vs 95.2%); CD90 (99.74 vs 96.6%); CD105 (99.64 vs 96.15%), respectively. However, they are similar in morphology and osteogenic and adipose differentiated ability. The results of the study would be useful for stem cell research, cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

The development of the credit services market is one of the indicators of economic development of any country. Today, this market is developing rapidly around the world, and lending services are among the most important in the income genera-tion of financial institutions. One of the main types of lending is unsecured consumer lending. The article examines the essence of this type of lending, identifies its main characteristics. For this purpose the content of the category was analyzed, scientific approaches to the consideration of its essence were singled out, the analysis of inter-pretations of this definition in normative-legal acts of the domestic legislation of Ukraine was carried out. Defining the essence of the category "consumer credit" allowed to establish a complex system of types of such credit and specify the role of unsecured consumer lending in this system. As a result, the author's interpretation of this type of loan was formulated: unsecured consumer credit - one of the types of consumer credit, a set of relations between the credit institu-tion and individuals on lending in the national currency to purchase consumer goods or to finance consumer needs on the borrower's needs, which are specified in the written loan agreement, and subject to compliance with the principles of maturi-ty, payment, intended use and return. The article specifies the main subjects of unsecured consumer lending, which include creditors (banks and non-bank fi-nancial institutions) and borrowers (individuals). The objects of this type of lending are tangible goods (electronics, house-hold appliances, furniture, clothing, building materials, equipment, etc.); services (treatment and rehabilitation, payment for training and refresher courses, tourism, construction, notary, consulting services, etc.); cash (to finance the current needs of the borrower, replenish its working capital). The peculiarities of unsecured consumer lending include the following: lack of collateral; convenience, speed and simplicity of design; small loan amounts; interest-free loans; high cost of loans

Published: June 2022

In today's crisis caused by the pandemic, there is a problem of mobilization of additional financial resources. One of the most important ways to raise money is to invest. Exit from the economic crisis and further sustainable development of the na-tional economy is impossible without ensuring the effective functioning of the investment market of Ukraine. Foreign experience shows that it is non-state pension funds that pursue an active investment policy in the market, thus not only providing social pro-tection to the population by paying additional pensions to depositors, but also intensify the work of the stock market. The purpose of the article is to study the main trends of investment policy pursued by NPFs, to identify the main prob-lems faced by funds in the course of investment policy, as well as to identify the main prospects for intensifying investment activities of non-government pension funds. The following research methods are used in the article: comparison, induction, analysis, generalization and etc. The main directions of investment policy pursued by non-state pension funds of Ukraine and the world are analyzed. It is determined that Non-government pension funds of Ukraine pursue a moderate investment policy, as a significant part ofinvestment resources are monetary resources.Identified the main problems facing Non-government pension funds: inflation in the economy reduces the value of invested assets; imperfection of regulatory legislation - the lack of opportunity for partic-ipants to invest in other currencies; low level of general economic indicators that have a negative impact on the level of sol-vency of the population; lack of financial culture of the population; a small selection of state-protected financial instruments for NPF investment. The main ways to intensify the investment activities of pension funds include: harmonization of legislation with in-ternational and European standards; conducting informational and explanatory events in the form of advertising, holding free lectures on the activities of NPF; granting NPF rights to autonomous management of financial assets, expanding the range of financial instruments, introduction of so-called «pension bonds», development and implementation of automated systems and applications.
