Authors: Zupanc Timon , Krajačič Jurij , Krajačič Boris , Zupanc Oskar , Bunc Matjaz
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and reducing LDL cholesterol is a key strategy in lowering cardiovascular risk. Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA that targets PCSK9, is an effective lipid-lowering treatment.
AIM: This study evaluates the long-term efficacy of inclisiran in patients with high cardiovascular risk who fail to reach LDL goals despite statin and ezetimibe therapy.
METHODS: A total of 33 patients with high-risk atherosclerotic disease and elevated LDL cholesterol levels, despite maximal statin/ezetimibe therapy or patients who couldn't tolerate statins, were administered inclisiran at baseline with 21 patients receiving a second dose at 3 months. Lipid profiles were measured at baseline, 3 months after first dose, and 3 months after second dose. The primary outcome was the change in LDL-C levels from baseline to post-treatment.
RESULTS: Inclisiran significantly reduced LDL-C levels from a baseline mean of 2.66 mmol/L to 1.49 mmol/L after the first dose (p < 0.001). A total of 73.0% of patients achieved LDL-C levels below 1.8 mmol/L, 57.7% below 1.4 mmol/L, and 34.6% below 1.0 mmol/L, with 42.3% experiencing a reduction of more than 50% after the first dose. These reductions were maintained after the second dose, with LDL-C levels remaining significantly lower than baseline.
CONCLUSION: Inclisiran provides significant and sustained LDL-C reductions in patients with high cardiovascular risk and represents an effective long-term treatment option for reducing cardiovascular risk.
Redimensionner ensemble les paramètres de la collaboration famille-école-communauté dans une recherche action participative : faire et apprendre ensemble
Authors: Odier-Guedj Delphine , Chatenoud Céline
Published: January 2025

Les études des quarante dernières années ont souligné à maintes reprises la contribution cruciale du partenariat famille-école-communauté à la réussite scolaire et éducative des enfants notamment ceux ayant des besoins éducatifs particuliers et la mise en place d’environnements éducatifs plus inclusifs. Pour favoriser ce partenariat, nous avons choisi l’avenue d’une Recherche-action participative (RAP) ancrée dans le paradigme des recherches transformatives (Anderson et McLachlan, 2016) et de la justice sociale afin de favoriser une mobilisation réelle des connaissances par les familles et les professionnels (O’Donnell, 2008). À la demande des familles, cette recherche a eu lieu dans trois écoles de Montréal (Canada), qui accueillent 184 élèves entre 12 et 21 ans présentant des déficiences développementales. Elle visait à comprendre comment transformer les pratiques actuelles pour la mise en place d’activités soutenant le partenariat famille-école communauté. Dans cet article, nous présenterons et discuterons les enjeux méthodologiques et éthiques lorsqu’il s’agit de faire ensemble pour transformer ainsi que leurs limites.
Coéducation et pandémie de Covid-19 en France et en Belgique : une approche comparative de recherches collaboratives
Authors: Roland Elsa , Fiore Fanny , Pirone Filippo , Santana Painaud Kayla , Guirimand Nicolas , Valente Gabriela
Published: January 2025

Cet article présente les résultats d’une réflexion collective entre une équipe de recherche belge et une équipe de recherche française à propos d’une démarche de recherche collaborative portant sur l’impact de la pandémie de Covid-19 sur le système scolaire, en plaçant la focale sur les relations écoles-familles. Bien que les contextes pandémiques diffèrent et que la réponse politique en termes de gestion de la crise sanitaire dans les écoles n’a pas été la même en Belgique et en France, nous opérons une analyse croisée de ces deux expériences en cherchant à identifier les effets de la crise sanitaire sur la dynamique de recherche collaborative menée en contexte scolaire avec des enseignants, des élèves et leurs parents.
Microtransformations de la relation école-familles dans une recherche AVEC : repenser la place des parents dits éloignés de l’école
Authors: Pelletier Liliane , Conus Xavier
Published: January 2025

La concrétisation du partenariat école-familles pose question au regard du paradigme inclusif. Aux difficultés à collaborer de la manière attendue rencontrées par les parents peu familiers de l’école fait écho un sentiment du personnel enseignant de ne pas réussir à entrer en relation avec une partie des parents. Cet écrit présente les premiers résultats d’une recherche à visée inclusive, qualifiée de recherche AVEC et menée par un collectif pluricatégoriel incluant des parents d’élèves, qui vise à renforcer le lien entre l’école et la diversité des parents dans un territoire ultramarin. L’article décrit deux niveaux de microtransformations engendrées par le fait d’amener parents et personnel enseignant à travailler ensemble : d’une part sur le regard porté envers les parents dits éloignés de l’école ; d’autre part sur le sentiment de pouvoir agir positivement sur la relation école-familles. Les résultats sont notamment discutés sous l’angle de l’émancipation permise par ce format de recherche.

Authors: Graham Karen Lowe , Bounds Dawn , Paun Olimpia , Stillerman Audrey , Mohr Lynn D. , Barnes Lisa L.
Published: January 2025

Purpose

To gain a deeper understanding of Black older adults' (aged ≥65 years) experiences with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including racism, and their use of active coping throughout their life course.

Method

Qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 Black older adults followed by administration of the First 18 Years Survey (measuring ACEs) and the John Henryism Active Coping Scale. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative and quantitative data were integrated using a triangulation process.

Results

Four major themes emerged from the qualitative data. Participants reported experiencing pervasive racism throughout their lives. Quantitative results indicated participants experienced fewer ACEs and made high use of active coping. Triangulation indicates qualitative findings and explains the quantitative results.

Conclusion

Although participants faced ACEs including racism, they found strategies to help them actively cope. [

Medkulturna vzgoja in izobraževanje
Authors: Ajša Vižintin Marijanca
Published: January 2025

In her book Medkulturna vzgoja in izobraževanje ('Intercultural education') Marijanca Ajša Vižintin analyses integration and inclusion policies, and outlines the development of multicultural and intercultural education, prejudices and their overcoming. She opens the questions about hyphenated identity and explains why and from where migrant children came to Slovenia. The second part of the book introduces an innovative model of intercultural education, composed of seven criteria: 1. interculturality as a pedagogical-didactic principle, 2. systemic support for a successful inclusion of immigrant children, 3. teachers with a developing intercultural competence, 4. development of the awareness of a multicultural society in all school subjects, 5. development of intercultural dialogue in school, 6. cooperation with immigrants (parents), 7. cooperation with the local community. The intercultural education model expects active participation from everybody: students and parents, teachers, being migrants themselves or not, migrants’ associations, local and national organizations. The author believes that every teacher has an impact on the including (or excluding) society with her/his attitude, knowledge or actions. Everybody is responsible for inclusion.

This Festschrift includes four commemorative essays, twenty-two scholarly contributions as well as an extensive bibliography of the art historian Dr Marjeta Ciglenečki’s work. In celebration of the seventieth birthday of a respected colleague, whose work spans the fields of university education, scientific research, museology and heritage preservation, her former collaborators, colleagues and students have contributed papers which range chronologically from antiquity to the present day. These contributions also cover all artistic disciplines and address every aspect of art historical work. The diversity of the contributions reflects the breadth of Dr Ciglenečki’s oeuvre, as many of them focus on topics that Marjeta Ciglenečki herself has explored or deal with the region of Ptuj, Maribor and Styria more generally, where she has conducted extensive research and made a particularly significant contribution to scholarship. The contributions are thus intended for a wide range of scholars and professionals – art historians, museum professionals, conservators, architects, historians, cultural historians, ethnologists, and theologians – though, at the same time, many of the topics discussed will undoubtedly also appeal to a broader readership.
La tente dans la ville, la mine dans la tente, le marketing dans le désert
Authors: Smyej Sofia
Published: January 2025

Cet article examine comment l’articulation des concepts de sécularisation (Meziane, 2022) et d’extractivisme, qui, en tant que processus structurant, reconfigurent les subjectivités et les modes de vie nomades dans le nord-ouest saharien, un espace marqué par l’intensification des activités extractives depuis le milieu du 20e siècle. Basé sur une enquête ethnographique menée en 2022 et 2023, il analyse la façon dont l’exploitation des ressources naturelles transforme les structures socio-politiques locales vers des formes de gouvernance et d’insertion dans l’État postcolonial comme processus historique. En dialoguant avec la thèse de l’extraversion (Bayart, 1999), l’article montre comment cette élite locale exploite les relations avec des acteurs extérieurs pour renforcer leur pouvoir local, tout en maintenant des liens complexes avec les structures étatiques. L’article illustre ainsi la diversité des positionnalités transgénérationnelles au sein d’une famille, naviguant entre transmission de l’héritage nomade ouest-saharien et adaptation aux dynamiques néo-libérales et rentières, qui modifient les rapports de forces.

There are no CV risk prediction models derived from Sri Lankan cohorts. Therefore, the World Health Organization(WHO) risk charts developed for the Southeast Asia Region are being used to risk stratify Sri Lankans. However, Sri Lankans are quite different to some Southeast Asian countries and may not agree with Sri Lankans. Therefore, we aimed to develop a CV risk prediction model specific to a cohort of Sri Lankans. Using supervised machine learning of 10-year follow-up data of a randomly selected,  population-based cohort of Sri Lankans, we developed a model to predict the 10-year risk of developing a cardiovascular event. We compared predictions of the new model at baseline in 2007 with the observed events in 2017 following a 10-year follow-up using receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) to find the predictive performance. We compared the predictions of the new model and the currently used WHO risk charts. We selected 2596 Sri Lankans between 40 and 65 years old with no history of previous CV diseases (CVD) at recruitment and who had completed 10-year follow-ups. There were 179 hard CVDs recorded over the ten years. CVD included all cardiovascular deaths confirmed or presumed cases as mentioned in death certificates, non-fatal strokes, and physician-diagnosed non-fatal acute coronary syndromes, including elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafts done on patients with symptomatic unstable angina. Any cardiac presentation except those mentioned here was excluded. Of 179 events, the ML-based model predicted 124; only 33 were predicted by the new model, while only 33 were predicted by 2019 WHO risk charts. The new ML-based model had 0.93 accuracy with an AUC-ROC of 0.74 ± 0.06. Machine learning of individual data of a Sri Lankan cohort improved CV risk prediction of Sri Lankans than using risk charts developed for an epidemiological region using a modelling approach.

Surgery First Approach to Correct Gummy Smile in an Adult Female
Authors: Shetty Sujeeth Kumar , Muralidhar Nitin V , Jerusha T
Published: January 2025

Vertical maxillary excess associated with long face syndrome or a hyperdivergent growth pattern gives patients an excessive gummy smile with overexposure of the upper anterior teeth. This results in a very unesthetic gummy smile and facial profile for the patient. Hyperdivergent growth patterns also affect the normal maxilla-mandibular relationship, as there is a presence of mandibular clockwise rotation, which compromises the functional component. Hence, this condition leads to poor aesthetics and function. This condition is treated by a non-surgical approach using Temporary anchorage device (TAD) s in recent years. However, for an excessive gummy smile, the ideal treatment option is orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment to correct the dental irregularities. In this case report, we will discuss gummy smile correction in a young adult female using a surgery-first approach, with a combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment, highlighting absolutely no forward movement of the mandible after the maxillary impaction, thus maintaining perfect Class I molar and canine relations.
Evaluation of Serum C-reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Control Group: A Comparative Study
Authors: Mehta Dhaval , Singh Nidhi , Agrawal Kshitij , Patel Meghal , Shah Vishwa , Oza Deesha
Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Potentially malignant disorders are highly prevalent in India. Therefore, early identification and prevention of these lesions may reduce the incidence and increase the prognosis of oral cancer patients. In the present study, we tried to assess the correlation between the C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients who had been diagnosed with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and compared it with normal individuals. We also tried to correlate CRP levels in different stages of diseases.

Materials and Methods:

This comparative study consisted of 60 patients/subjects coming to the outpatient department of oral medicine and radiology, who were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study. They were further divided into two equal groups. Group 1 comprised OSMF patients, and Group 2 comprised the control group. Detailed case history was taken along with habit history, and the habit index was calculated. Blood was collected from each patient for blood reports. After the histological examination, patients were categorised into different stages of the disease. The Spinreact CRP-turbinates kit (SPINREACT) was utilised to measure serum CRP quantitatively. Data collected were entered into an Excel sheet, and a Chi-square and ANOVA test were used for analysis. A significance threshold of P < 0.05 was set for all tests, meaning that a P value below this threshold indicates statistical significance.

Results:

OSMF was most common in males and younger to middle age groups. In patients with OSMF, serum CRP levels were elevated; however, this increase was not statistically significant when compared to the control group. There is no discernible change present in OSMF according to stages.

Conclusion:

The results of this study showed that the OSMF had higher levels of CRP than the healthy subjects, indicating that CRP is a biomarker that can be used to gauge the severity of a disease. It is yet unknown if elevated CRP levels represent a risk factor for the development of cancer or if they are raised before the biological genesis of cancer. Therefore, to evaluate pre- and post-treatment serum CRP levels and determine the disease’s status, more research with larger sample sizes is required.

Authors: Elumalai Venkatesh , Krishnamoorthy K. , Pratheeban T. Joseph , Mathan E. , Hameed O. M. Rahman Shahul
Published: January 2025

Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) is a type of extrapulmonary TB affecting bony structures. Surprisingly, rib involvement is rare, comprising only 0%–5% of bone TB cases. Multifocal tuberculous osteomyelitis of the rib is a very rare condition, affecting only 0.1% of individuals with TB. We present here the case of a 28-year-old male who is an accountant in a travel agency with no comorbidities presented with complaints of cough with expectoration and swelling over the left posterolateral chest wall for 3 months’ duration. Imaging by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest showed features of multifocal tuberculous osteomyelitis of ribs with active pulmonary TB. Pus was aspirated from chest wall swelling detected mycobacterium TB in Catridge based nucleic acid amplification test, and the patient was started on antitubercular therapy. This case emphasizes skeletal TB, despite being the prevalent form of extrapulmonary TB, and presents an intriguing aspect with rib involvement remaining a relatively rare phenomenon.
Comparative evaluation of two different doses of nebulized intraperitoneal dexamethasone on postoperative pain in laparoscopic surgeries
Authors: Shrivastava Neha , Taneja Rashmi , Kumari Mamta , Sood Rajesh , Grover Niharika
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:

Postoperative pain is a major cause of discomfort after laparoscopic surgeries and thus necessitates prevention and treatment. This study aims to evaluate and compare two different doses of intraperitoneally nebulized (aerosol size: 0.4–4.5 micrometers) dexamethasone for the prevention of postoperative pain.

Material and Methods:

In this double-blind, randomized control study, 135 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries were randomly assigned to three groups after obtaining ethical committee clearance and CTRI registration. Intraperitoneal nebulization was performed using the Aeroneb device, with group A receiving 16 mg dexamethasone, group B receiving 8 mg dexamethasone, and group C receiving 0.9% normal saline. The primary outcome was assessed by measuring visceral, somatic, and referred pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included VAS at 1 and 24 hours, the hemodynamic response to pneumo-peritoneum, 24-hour anti-emetics, and opioid consumption.

Results:

VAS score at 6 hours was 0.9 ± 1.06 in group A, 1.7 ± 1.45 in group B, and 2.3 ± 1.87 in group C for referred pain; the values were statistically significant (P = 0.01). VAS score was 0.7 ± 0.76 in group A, 1.7 ± 1.82 in group B, and 2.2 ± 2.06 in group C for dull aching pain; the results were statistically significant at 24 hours (P = 0.001). None of the values at any time point were statistically significant (P < 0.05) for incisional pain. The rise in heart rate after 5 minutes of pneumoperitoneum was the least in group A compared to group C (P = 0.01). Group C had the highest consumption of anti-emetics and rescue analgesics (P = 0.001).

Conclusions:

Intraperitoneal dexamethasone nebulization of 16 mg and 8 mg both are equi-effective in decreasing the severity of pain after laparoscopic surgeries compared to normal saline nebulization (P = 0.001).
The “Weekend Effect” and “Off-Hours Effect” in Pediatric TBI: An Observational Study From the High-Income Developing Country—Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Al-Rahbi Adham , Al-Farsi Aws , Al-Shibli Rashid , Al-Kalbani Salim , Al-Saadi Tariq
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are the leading cause of death and disability in children. The concern about care quality difference between weekdays and weekends is increasing.

Aim:

This study compares the outcome of TBIs in pediatrics during weekdays versus weekends.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2015 to December 2020 involving 98 patients from Khoula Hospital. The primary outcome was death, which is defined as deaths during the index hospitalization and/or deaths within 30 days. The need for surgical intervention is another outcome. We considered the difference in outcomes between working hours and off-hours in the same patients. Binary regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with pediatric TBI mortality based on arrival time.

Results:

All 98 patients were discharged from the hospital with no mortality. Additionally, all our patients had surgical intervention during their hospital stay. A higher number of males presented during weekdays (73.4%), while a higher number of females presented during weekends (63.2%; P < 0.05, OR = 0.282). The number of patients presenting during weekdays (80.6%) was higher than those presenting during weekends (19.3%). In addition, the number of patients presenting during off-hours (39.7%) was higher than that of patients presenting during working hours (60.2%; P < 0.05). Patients presenting during off-hours were likely to have surgeries lasting <120 min (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

No association was found between weekend/off-hour effects and pediatric TBI outcomes. Currently, there are no existing studies that highlight this effect on pediatric TBI. Therefore, this study is the first study investigating the difference in outcomes between weekdays and weekends in pediatric TBI cases.
Giant Orbital Aneurysmal Bone Cyst
Authors: Tanwar Ishita , Shankar K. B. , Mankotia Dipanker S.
Published: January 2025

Abstract

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign vascular lesion of bone rarely involving the orbit. It commonly occurs in the first two decades of life and it has more female preponderance. The clinical signs and symptoms of orbital ABC are similar to those of other orbital masses. Imaging studies include ultrasonography, computer tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging, which typically show lytic bone lesions, new bone formations, fluid–fluid levels and periosteal elevations. The mainstay of treatment of locally aggressive ABCs is surgical excision. We present a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a protruded mass in his left eye. On examination, he had marked exophthalmos in the left eye with various features of ophthalmoplegia.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective:

To obtain the fastigial angle in fetuses with Blake pouch cyst (BPC) and vermian hypoplasia (VH) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials and Methods:

A total of 39 patients (13 cases of BPC, 13 cases of VH, and 13 normal controls) referred for fetal MRI from June 2020 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The gestational age at MRI examination was between 21 and 24 weeks. The MRI images were reviewed independently by two senior neuroradiologists, and the final findings were arrived in consensus. The fastigial angles were measured in fetuses with BPC and VH. The results were statistically analyzed and compared with control groups.

Results:

The fastigial angles were significantly increased/more obtuse in VH (134.0 to 154.0°) (mean ± 2SD) compared to BPC (95.0 to 129.8°) (mean ± 2SD) in our study. The brainstem vermian angle ranged from 22.3 to 30.3° (mean ± 2SD) in BPC and 31.5 to 47.5° (mean ± 2SD) in VH, respectively, in our study.

Conclusion:

Fastigial angle measurement is a complementary tool for the accurate diagnosis of posterior fossa malformations, such as BPC and VH, on fetal MRI

Published: January 2025

Participativno upravljanje s porečji, ki predvideva sodelovanje in aktivno vključevanje raznolikih deležnikov na različnih ravneh (lokalna, subregionalna, nacionalna in mednarodna), je eden izmed ciljev evropske politike na področju upravljanja z vodami. V Sloveniji je na nacionalni ravni sicer izkazana načelna podpora participativnemu upravljanju s porečji, vendar sistemski pristop še ni ustrezno vzpostavljen, zato zlasti v manjših porečjih različne pobude po upravljanju prihajajo od spodaj navzgor. Prispevek obravnava geografski pristop k participativnemu upravljanju s porečjem kraške Temenice. Geografska podpora je bila usmerjena v celostno geografsko analizo porečja in na njej osnovano opredelitev ključnih vodnoupravljalskih izzivov, analizo deležnikov in njihovo opolnomočenje ter vrednotenje učinkov izvedenih participativnih aktivnosti v obdobju 2020–2023. Rezultati kažejo, da so bili z zasledovanim pristopom narejeni pomembni koraki v smeri participativnega upravljanja na pilotnem območju porečja zgornje Temnice. Poleg vzpostavitve sistemske ureditve bo za uspešno utrditev participativnega upravljanja ter za njegovo razširitev na celotno porečje Temenice ključno, da bodo različni deležniki vzpostavljeno omrežje sposobni obdržati in ga nadalje razvijati.
Conditional symmetries and conditional constants of motion for dynamical systems
Authors: Gaeta Giuseppe
Published: January 2025

Conditional symmetries were introduced by Levi and Winternitz in their 1989 seminal paper to deal with nonlinear PDEs. Here we discuss their application in the framework of ODEs, and more specifically Dynamical Systems; it turns out they are closely related to two established -- albeit maybe less widely known -- concepts, i.e. orbital symmetries and configurational invariants. The paper is devoted to studying the interplay of these notions, and their application in the study of Dynamical Systems, with special attention to invariant manifolds of these.

Authors: Omiles Maculeta E. , Ramirez Eufrecina Jean D.
Published: January 2025

This study proposed a framework for Virtual Peer Learning by testing Peer Learning Model to engineering students at a university in Manila during the second semester of school year 2021-2022. Guided Peer Discussions method was applied using Virtual Think-Pair-Share and Virtual Gallery Walk as teaching strategies. Convergent-parallel mixed method was used to analyze both the quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative findings revealed that the teacher’s instructional strategies had significant relationships both with peer interaction and learning competencies. However, no significant relationship existed between peer interaction and learning competencies. In the qualitative findings, three major themes were defined: peer interaction, students’ learning competencies, and teacher’s instructional strategies and nine sub-themes emerged in describing the experiences of the participants as exposed to Guided Peer Discussions: collaboration within and between groups, challenges due to time constraints and technical issues, class engagement, skills developed, study habits, teaching methods, creating a safe environment for questioning, learning materials, and sustainability. The findings in this study provided valuable input in the development of the Virtual Peer Learning Framework.
Українська тематика у публіцистичній спадщині Антанаса Сметони (1874-1944)
Authors: Петрик А.М.
Published: January 2025

Дана стаття фокусується на інтелектуальній спадщині видатного литовського політичного і державного діяча Антанаса Сметони. Першого президента демократичної Литви у 1919–1920 рр. Автократичного керівника Литовської держави у 1926–1940 рр. Окрім політичної діяльності ця особистість є знаковою у громадському і культурному сегменті литовського національного руху доби пізнього етапу національного відродження. А. Сметона вів активну видавничу та редакторську роботу у царині литовськомовних засобів масової інформації. Організовував ефективне продукування просвітницького контенту для литовського читача. Окрім цього, майбутній президент залишив по собі значний масив публіцистичного матеріалу. «Українське питання» кидало відблиск на обидві вищезазначені іпостасі А. Сметони – політика та інтелектуала. Україна, з її минулим та сучасним, перебувала у сфері його зацікавлень від раннього етапу творчої діяльності на початку ХХ ст. Так само давньою була комунікація з українськими інтелектуальними елітами. Роки революції та збройної визвольної боротьби трансформували старі зв’язки, перевели їх на нову платформу. Керована А. Сметоною Литва надавала підтримку українським революційно-визвольним структурам протягом 1920–1930-х рр. Ця підтримка ґрунтувалася на стратегічних литовських інтересах, втім, базувалася і на фундаменті обізнаності литовського національного лідера у реаліях України та її народу.
У нашій роботі ми торкнемося малодослідженої складової публіцистичного продукту А. Сметони, а саме української тематики в його інтелектуальному доробку. Робота фокусується на багатоскладовій цілі – заповнені лакун у студіях української історичної литуаністики та балтистики у контексті новітньої доби, а також відтворення деяких невисвітлених донині аспектів українсько-литовських відносин ХХ ст. Це здійснюється через аналіз творчої спадщини А. Сметони. Особливу увагу нами приділено його знаковим публіцистичним творінням українознавчого спрямування.

Published: January 2025

Diabetes melitus (DM) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan global yang menduduki peringkat ketiga sebagai kontributor utama kematian akibat penyakit tidak menular, setelah stroke dan penyakit jantung koroner (PJK). Diabetes Melitus tipe 2, yang menyumbang 90% dari seluruh kasus diabetes, berkaitan dengan dislipidemia dan risiko PJK. Pada penderita DM, high density lipoprotein (HDL) kerap mengalami disfungsi, yang berkontribusi pada aterosklerosis sebagai faktor risiko utama penyakit kardiovaskular. Oleh sebab itu, pengukuran kadar kolesterol HDL dalam profil lipid memiliki peran penting dalam menilai risiko aterosklerosis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar gula darah puasa dengan kadar HDL pada pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 di RSUD ODSK Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik observasional dengan rancangan penelitian potong lintang. Penelitian ini bersifat retrospektif dengan menggunakan data sekunder berupa data rekam medis periode April 2022-Juli 2024. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode total sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 60 pasien yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Berdasarkan hasil uji korelasi Pearson, didapatkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,476 (p-value >0,05). Simpulan penelitian ini adalah tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kadar gula darah puasa dengan kadar high density lipoprotein pada pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 di RSUD ODSK Provinsi Sulawesi Utara.

Authors: Hardianto Rifki , Setiono  , Handayani Fajar
Published: January 2025

Climate change and global warming have become major global concerns due to their significant impacts on the environment and human life. One of the primary contributors to climate change is Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which are generated by various industrial activities, including the construction sector. PT Kaltim Methanol Industri, one of Indonesia's largest methanol producers, plans to add a new unit for CO₂ injection to enhance its production capacity. In this new unit, the reciprocating compressor machine foundation is a crucial structural component that must not only meet technical requirements but also consider environmental impacts, particularly GHG emissions produced during the construction process. This study employs the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method to identify the life cycle stages that contribute the most to GHG emissions and to compare the GHG emissions of various foundation types, namely standard block foundation, spring-supported foundation types 1, 2, and 3. The dimensions of each foundation type are 10.2 m in length and 6.2 m in width, with varying heights: standard block foundation (1.5 m), spring-supported type 1 (1.25 m), spring-supported type 2 (1.0 m), and spring-supported type 3 (0.75 m). The height above ground for each foundation type is 0.35 m. The study results indicate that the raw material stage contributes the most emissions, with the highest emissions recorded in the standard block foundation at 65,969.8476 kgCO₂e. Meanwhile, the foundation with the lowest emissions is the spring-supported type 3, producing 36,550.0597 kgCO₂e.

THE EFFECT OF STORAGE TEMPERATURE ON SOME PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF FLOWER HONEY
Authors: Sireli Halit Deniz , SAYLAK Ümit
Published: January 2025

The aim of the study was to determine the pH, Brix, moisture, free acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) level, and diastase activity that are effective on the quality of unpasteurized and pasteurized flower honey produced in the South-eastern Anatolia Region of Türkiye after storage. A total of 40 samples brought for analysis were divided into two groups: raw and pasteurized at 70 °C. The honey samples were stored at different temperatures (4–6, 21–24, and 35–37 °C) and time periods (3, 6, and 9 months) for analysis. The data were statistically analyzed in a three-factor experimental design with repeated measurements at the levels of one of the factors. Considering the storage periods, it was found that HMF levels were 2.79 ± 3.08, 4.36 ± 3.08, and 184.17 ± 3.08 mg kg-1, while the diastase values were 9.48 ± 0.39, 8.51 ± 0.39, and 1.46 ± 0.39, respectively, and statistically significant (p ≤ 0.01). Considering temperatures, it was determined that HMF and diastase values at 4–6 and 20–22 °C and 3-month storage periods were in accordance with the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, while the storage periods of the samples at 35–37 °C were above the legal limits. As a result, it can be recommended that flower honeys should be stored between 4–6 and 20–22 °C since the shelf life and honey quality will be negatively affected when the storage temperature exceeds 35–37 °C.
