On the diagnostic value of perivascular hemorrhage at the bottom of the 4th ventricle in the recognition of asphyxia
Authors: Fedorov M. I.
Published: April 2022

The mechanism of asphytic death is very complex, varied, and not entirely clear. However, it is known that during asphyxia, the central nervous system is most quickly and first of all affected, therefore, the aspirations of researchers to find out the characteristic changes in it are quite understandable. According to our observations and materials of the department (200 cases), those who died from mechanical (strangulation) asphyxia macroscopically showed pronounced plethora of the meninges (61%) and brain (59%), cerebral edema, venous blood overflow in the dura mater sinuses (55% ), the presence of small-point hemorrhages at the bottom of the 4th ventricle. The latter phenomenon was observed with various frequencies by other authors (F. A. Patenko, S. M. Sidorov).
The effect of dicoumarin on some parameters of the blood coagulation system in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction
Authors: Malyarovsky V. N.
Published: April 2022

Currently, the use of anticoagulants in myocardial infarction reduces mortality, reduces the number of thromboembolic complications and improves the course of the disease (B. P. Kushelevsky, D. M. Grozdov, V. A. Agranenko, B. V. Konyaev). Although the literature on anticoagulants is extensive, the question of their influence on individual factors of the blood coagulation system remains not sufficiently illuminated. Anticoagulant therapy in most cases is controlled by determining the prothrombin index. However, the state of the blood coagulation system depends not only on the prothrombin activity of the blood (A. A. Bagdasarov et al., V. P. Baluda, A. Ya. Yaroshevsky et al., Et al.). Sometimes, with high prothrombin activity during treatment with dicoumarin, bleeding is possible, with a low content of prothrombin in the blood - thromboembolic complications.
Two Uncommon Cases of Complete Atrioventricular Block with Edems-Stokes Syndrome
Authors: Spector A. M.
Published: April 2022

Complete atrioventricular (atrioventricular) block is very rare - according to various domestic and foreign authors, from 0.2 to 1%. A complete atrioventricular block is most often based on sclerotic lesions of the heart muscle with the involvement of a specific cardiac conduction system in the process. Among other causes of complete atrioventricular block, traumatic injuries of the interventricular septum with involvement of a specific conducting system of the heart into the wound or scar zone are known (V. T. Uverskaya and others).

Published: April 2022

For two years we have performed 250 central catheterizations veins (subclavian - 187, femoral - 63) in 202 patients. In 26 of them, catheterization was performed twice, and in 11 - three times. The duration of the stay of the catheter in the vein ranged from several hours to 46 days, on average 5-7 days. Most often, we used catheterization of the central vein in patients requiring continuous parenteral nutrition (122), with acute massive blood loss (57), and in 23 patients the reason for catheterization was terminal conditions. Complications were observed in 23 patients (11.4%). They can be divided into 2 groups: complications associated with a violation of the catheterization technique, and complications caused by prolonged presence of the catheter in the lumen of the vein. There were no fatal complications, however, any of them posed a threat, especially with delayed recognition, and always aggravated the patient's condition.

Authors: Nusa Gerlan Haha , Sulistiyantoro David
Published: April 2022

Latar Belakang: Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM – Kedai XYZ) dalam penentuan harga pokok produksi (HPP) tidak membebankan biaya tidak langsung ke objek biaya. Situasi pandemi Covid-19 memaksa Kedai XYZ untuk mengurangi jumlah produksinya.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan perhitungan HPP berdasarkan Activity Based Costing (ABC) dengan HPP saat ini, dan membandingkan HPP ABC sebelum adanya Covid-19 dan setelah adanya Covid-19. Perhitungan HPP ABC dan Activity Based Management (ABM) menjadi metode yang dapat meningkatkan profitabilitas Kedai XYZ.Metode Penelitian: Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan mendatangi langsung ke objek penelitian (studi kasus). Perolehan data melalui wawancara dan observasi untuk menjawab penelitian. Metode analisis dengan membandingkan HPP yang diterapkan oleh Kedai XYZ dengan HPP perhitungan ABC.Hasil Penelitian: Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah perhitungan memberikan harga pokok produksi yang lebih tinggi dari penentuan pemilik. Hal ini dikarenakan metode ABC membebankan biaya langsung dan biaya tidak langsung pada produk. Harga pokok produksi dapat dikurangi dengan menambah jumlah unit produksi sebelum Covid-19. Namun, penambahan unit produksi di tengah Covid-19 tidak memungkinkan untuk dilakukan oleh Kedai XYZ. Alternatif dapat dilakukan dengan mengefisiensikan biaya dengan ABM terkait biaya tidak langsung aktivitas yang tidak menambah nilai produk sehingga Kedai XYZ mendapatkan profitabilitas dan mengembangkan skala industri usahanya. Keterbatasan Penelitian: Penelitian ini memiliki batasan bahwa beberapa UMKM saat dihubungi sudah tidak beroperasi kembali dan UMKM lainnya yang masih bertahan menolak untuk dilakukan wawancara dan observasi. Hal ini dikarenakan pihak UMKM ingin membatasi kontak fisik dengan orang lain. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat memastikan UMKM masih beroperasi dan bersedia untuk dilakukan wawancara dan observasi karena ABC berhubungan erat dengan informasi proses produksi baik biaya langsung dan biaya tidak langsung untuk dibebankan ke produk.Keaslian/Kebaruan Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode ABC dikembangkan dengan teori penentuan harga jual berdasarkan total biaya untuk memperoleh profitabilitas dan teori ABM dalam mengefisiensikan biaya tidak langsung yang tidak menambah nilai produk khususnya dalam situasi pandemi Covid-19 pada UMKM (Kedai XYZ).

: Antimicrobial activities of prebiotic, fluoridated, non-fluoridated toothpastes were assessed at different concentrations (100ug, 200ug, 300ug and 400ug). Since prebiotic toothpaste had other proven antimicrobial agents, 100% inulin extract from chicory (prebiotic) was assessed for its antimicrobial efficacy at varying concentrations. Antimicrobial property was evaluated by determining the zone of inhibition using agar well diffusion method on Luria Bertani (LB) broth media for and MRS broth media forL.plantarum. 100ul of inoculums of S.mutans and L.plantarum was poured on to the agar plates respectively. Five wells measuring 0.5cm was made, dentifrice at varying concentration i.e; 100ug, 200ug, 300ug and 400ug was loaded into respective wells. 50ul of DMSO was loaded in the well at the centre as control and incubated at 37°C for 24hrs.

: All the three tested toothpastes had significant antimicrobial activity against S.mutans and L.plantarum. The highest antimicrobial activity was exhibited by toothpaste containing prebiotic ingredient with mean zone of inhibition of (18.5+/-0.5) and (20.0+/-1) at 400ug against S.mutans and L.plantarum. There was no significant difference in antimicrobial activity of fluoridated and non-fluoridated toothpastes against S.mutans at 400ug (P=1), but there was a significant difference for L.plantarum at 400ug (P<0.001). Antimicrobial activity increased at higher concentrations for all the three tested toothpastes and for 100% Inulin extract.

: All the three tested toothpaste were effective against S.mutans and L.plantarum at varying concentrations, but toothpaste containing prebiotic ingredient was most effective in inhibition of both the micro-organisms.

Published: April 2022

To assess and determine the various aspects of the interrelationship between social and digital media and orthodontics from the patient's as well as orthodontist’s perspective.

Determining where the patient looks for Orthodontist’s information online and where the orthodontist is posting or promoting their practice 2. Differentiating between patient interests on web page/social media and orthodontic posts 3. Comfort level of patients to visit an orthodontist based on digital media popularity/reviews

In our 2-part survey, 2 separate google forms were created to assess the various aspects of practice promotion and sent to Orthodontists and patients separately. Demographic data and informed consent was taken.

The survey comprises of two groups: A) Orthodontists (212 participants) B) Patients (200 participants)

From the orthodontist’s perspective, patients visit them based on internet popularity. They promote their practice using their own website which is available on Google. Social media is used commonly to promote themselves by posting photos of patients and clinic. Facebook was most used. Orthodontists believe that 15-20% visit them based on internet popularity.

From the patients perspective, they choose orthodontists based on popularity on internet with google search being the most used. They review orthodontists on social media on popular sites such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter.

Word of mouth referrals was the most preferred old school method of finding orthodontists based on experience. With vast improvement in digital technology, youngsters prefer to review orthodontists based on digital media reviews as well. The largest discrepancy found between social media sites used by the patients/ parents and orthodontists was with Facebook and Instagram. This opportunity is being vastly ignored by most orthodontic practices and should be considered as a potential marketing tool for current and prospective patients.
Treatment of maxillary lateral incisor-canine pseudotransposition: A case report
Authors: Kumar Sharma Vipul , Chaturevdi T. P. , Singh Alka
Published: April 2022

The term transposition is used to refer to an interchange in the position of 2 adjacent teeth within the same quadrant of the dental arch.In complete transposition, both the crowns and the entire root structures of the involved teeth are found parallel in their transposed positions. In incomplete transposition (also called “pseudo” or “partial” transposition) the crowns may be transposed while the root apices remain in their normal positions. Unilateral transposition has been reported more often than bilateral transposition, with the left side being somewhat more frequently involved than the right side. The only dental anomaly that has an apparent association with maxillary canine-lateral incisor transposition is increased third molar agenesis.Treatment of maxillary canine-lateral incisor transposition depends on many factors like the condition of the root of central incisors, shape of lateral incisors, need of extraction because of either severe crowding or profile improvement, etc. Here, we are going to present the management of a rare case report of maxillary right lateral incisor-canine pseudotransposition with minimum available space and agenesis of mandibular third molars.

Reconceptualization of Inclusion through Anti-Bias Curriculum
Authors: Binnendyk Sarah
Published: April 2022

Tensions can arise when biased thoughts and practices are uncovered through discursive events in early years classrooms. This paper challenges the common practice of disregarding childhood curiosities in an attempt to ease tension and remove the risk of discomfort for some adults in caregiving and educating roles. Through a conceptual shift from a futurity of inclusion to an urgent call to action that problematizes the exclusion of nonhuman subjects within the curriculum, the construction and implementation of anti-bias curriculum is offered as a vehicle to the realization of holistically inclusive early learning spaces.
Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti: African Science Fiction and the Reimagined Black Girl
Authors: Seow Janet Rosemarie
Published: April 2022

Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti unsettles harmful depictions of Black childhood and reconceptualizes the role of young Black females in racialized communities with an acute awareness of the challenges they encounter in the realworld. Using the speculative form of Binti as an allegory for the present, this article turns to the character of Binti to highlight ways to overcome obstacles of exclusion and otherness. Inspiration is found in how Okorafor utilizes Africanfuturism as a framework that artfully integrates and retains African Indigenous cultures in a technologically advanced world. Additionally, childhood studies informs how this article examines the impact of Africanfuturism as a defamiliarizing strategy to address normalized (Western, white) childhood and notions of futurity for Black children and youth.
Social Attitude Profiles and Attribution Types Confronting Pandemic COVID-19
Authors: Junghye Jeong, , Jeongwha Lee , Zheng Jin , Yang Lee
Published: April 2022

This study aimed to analyze the social processes confronted during the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that social problems should be primarily analyzed to utilize public health policies. The theoretical framework concerns social attitudes of behavior, emotion, and cognition (BEC) and social attribution types of inner and outer crossed by temporal and permanent, as proposed by Weiner (1974). A quasi-experiment research design was processed using a questionnaire which included personal identities designed by between-subject of 221 people sampled, and items of social attitudes profiles and attribution types designed by within-subject of 27 conditions. Factor analysis expounded that all the items be grouped into 8 independent components that corresponded to the items constructed to be evaluated as a successful design. Analyzing within-subject variables, BEC of social attitudes as health, medical, faith, and risk and mental symptoms except that of political were highly negative skewed in distributions. Each of BEC was individualized to compose the related social attitudes. For attribution types, the permanent ones of personal, governmental, and religious, but not medical, were attributed to the epidemic. This study suggested that social attitudes of BEC were adapted to the pandemic and that attribution should be regarded primarily to make policies efficient for public health.

Authors: GÜNGÖRER Vildan , ARSLAN Şükrü 
Published: April 2022

Aim: In recent years, it has been seen that simple complete blood count (CBC) parameters can be used to show subclinical inflammation in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in CBC parameters among FMF patient groups divided according to disease severity scores.
Material and Methods: FMF patients followed up in our clinic between 2016 and 2019, were reviewed for medical records. They were divided into three groups as those with mild, moderate, and severe diseases according to the disease severity scoring systems by Pras et al., Mor et al., and International Severity Score of FMF (ISSF). Red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet, neutrophil, lymphocyte, RDW-platelet ratio (RPR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of the patients were compared among the groups.
Results: According to the scoring system of Pras et al., lymphocyte value was found significantly higher in the group with severe disease compared to the groups with mild and moderate diseases (p=0.031). PLR was significantly lower in the group with severe disease compared to moderate diseases according to the scoring system of Mor et al (p=0.008). According to ISSF, there was no difference among the groups in terms of CBC parameters.
Conclusion: Different results were obtained according to all three scoring systems. Since the ISSF is the most common and suitable system for use in FMF patients, we can conclude that there is no relationship between disease severity and RDW, RPR, NLR and PLR.

El objetivo general de este estudio fue analizar la efectividad de las redes sociales en el proceso de reclutamiento de personal en la empresa Search República Dominicana, durante el período enero-octubre 2014. El método utilizado para esta investigación fue el inductivo, con un enfoque cualitativo, las informaciones fueron obtenidas mediante las técnicas de grupo focal y entrevistas. La población del presente estudio estuvo compuesta de 4 personas. Se concluyó que el reclutamiento 2.0 resulta eficaz y de beneficio a la empresa al momento de captar candidatos idóneos para los puestos vacantes. El tiempo para encontrar un perfil de acuerdo con la vacante utilizando el reclutamiento 2.0 es menor de lo que se lleva captar un candidato idóneo a través del proceso de reclutamiento tradicional. Por otro lado, se determinó que la empresa no tiene una estrategia de reclutamiento 2.0 definida. Partiendo de las conclusiones descritas anteriormente, se procedió a recomendar a la empresa lo siguiente: establecer una estrategia de reclutamiento 2.0, en donde la misma pueda tener perfiles organizacionales creados en las principales redes sociales, a su vez, se recomienda optimizar el uso de los servicios de búsqueda de las redes sociales para reclutar candidatos activos y pasivos.

En los países de América Latina, se han producido movimientos reformadores de enorme influencia para la evaluación de los sistemas educativos en los aspectos: administrativos, formación inicial de los docentes, calidad del alumnado, asociaciones de padres y el currículo. Es por ello, que se ha realizado esta investigación cuyo objetivo fue determinar la formación requerida por el docente actual en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID19. Se aplicó el paradigma epistemológico de investigación pospositivista, con un enfoque hermenéutico experiencial. El análisis cognitivo se realizó a través de la observación, indagación e interpretación documental y metódica basada en el establecimiento de las variables categóricas. Se concluyó que, en los programas de formación inicial del docente ecuatoriano, existe una desvinculación entre la teoría y la práctica de la enseñanza, esta separación arbitraria, hace que el conocimiento científico sea olvidado por el docente al tratar de aplicarlo a su esquema de acción en el campo profesional. Se tiene como conclusión que el acelerado avance de la información y la capacidad de los niños y jóvenes de aprender todo lo que existe en su entorno virtual, obstaculiza la enseñanza del saber acumulado por los docentes en una determinada disciplina. Se estableció que la pandemia del COVID19 afectó profundamente la educación tradicional que conducen a un mundo diferente, ya que los acontecimientos que se producen en una parte del mundo, tienen impacto significativo en lugares muy distantes, convirtiendo los pueblos en una aldea universal.

Las habilidades sociales son conductas o destrezas sociales específicas requeridas para ejecutar competentemente una tarea de índole interpersonal. Se trata de comportamientos adquiridos y aprendidos, y no de un rasgo de personalidad (Monjas Casares, M. 2002). El presente trabajo se orienta a evaluar las habilidades sociales y comportamiento en niños de 3 a 5 años de edad. La investigación se efectuó en la Escuela de Educación Básica “TIWINZA”, ubicada en el cantón Buena Fe, provincia de Los Ríos. Se estudió las habilidades a 16 niños (as) mediante encuestas a sus padres o representantes legales, y para el efecto de empleó la encuesta propuesta por Merrell (1994). El 87% y 75% de los niños, se ubicaron dentro de un nivel de cooperación, interacción e independencia social, medio. En cuanto a las habilidades sociales, el 75% de los niños se ubicó entre los niveles medio y déficit significativo. El 62.5%, 56.3%, y 37.5 no presentaron problemas de aislamiento social, ansiedad/quejas, ni comportamiento egoísta o egocéntrico, respectivamente, y tan solo un alumno mostró problema significativo. Finalmente el 56% de los  niños exterioriza sus emociones con facilidad. Estos hallazgos señalan que la mayor parte de los niños (as) estudiados no presentaron problemas conductuales significativos.

Se evaluó el comportamiento agronómico y el valor nutricional de la Morus alba, a diferentes edades. Las variables para el comportamiento agronómico: altura de planta (AP) (m); biomasa de hojas por planta (BHP g MS planta-1); biomasa de tallos por planta (BTP g MS planta-1); relación hoja/tallo gramos (RH/T g); biomasa forrajera por planta (BFP) (g); productividad (Prod) (t MS ha-1). La composición química: materia seca (MS); materia orgánica (MO); proteína cruda (PC); fibra detergente neutra (FDN) y fibra detergente ácida (FDA). La digestibilidad in vitro: materia seca (DIVMS); materia orgánica (DIVMO); fibra detergente neutra (DIVFDN) y fibra detergente ácida (DIVFDA). Los tratamientos: T1: Morus alba 40 días de cosecha; T2: Morus alba 55 días de cosecha; T3: Morus alba 70 días de cosecha; T4: Morus alba 85 días de cosecha. Se utilizó un diseño (DCA) con cuatro tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. La mayor (P<0.05) AP y BHP lo presentaron el T3 y T4 (1.50 y 1.67 m) y (179.68 y 169.44 g MS planta-1), la BFP y la Productividad lo registraron el T4 y T3 (433.36 y 369.37 g MS planta-1) y (7.68 y 6.55 t MS ha-1), la BTP lo registró el T4 (263.92 g MS planta-1), la RHT lo reportó el T2 (1.17 g). La mayor (P<0.05) MS y PC registraron el T4 y T1 (33.81 y 22.17%). La DIVMS, DIVMO, DIVFDN y DIVFDA (P<0.05) lo registró el T1 (68.07; 65.75; 62.98 y 44.91%). La edad de cosecha influye en el comportamiento agronómico y su valor nutricional.

Este artículo analiza los factores socioeconómicos que influyen en la diversidad de cultivos a nivel de finca y la probabilidad de adopción del monocultivo entre hogares rurales de la provincia de Esmeraldas. Con datos de una encuesta de hogar (n=226) levantada en octubre de 2020 y por medio de técnicas de análisis multivariado, se pudo determinar que los hogares con jefes que ostentan educación superior, reciben ingresos no agrícolas, no reciben el Bono de Desarrollo Humano y gastan más en insumos agrícolas, tienen menor diversidad de cultivos en sus fincas. Por otra parte, los hogares con mayores niveles de educación, que tienen de mayores extensiones de tierra propia, invierten más en insumos agrícolas y han sido beneficiarios de crédito, son más propensos a adoptar el monocultivo como forma de producción. Las implicaciones de estos hallazgos para las políticas públicas se abordan en la sección de conclusiones

La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la aplicación del riego deficitario en la etapa inicial del cultivo de pepino. El experimento se llevó acabo en suelo franco. Como material experimental se utilizó el híbrido Humocaro. El riego se lo realizó por goteo en intervalos de dos días. Se estudió cuatro láminas de riego: 100%, 90%, 80% y 70% de la Etc aplicado en la etapa inicial del cultivo. Los tratamientos se establecieron en un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con cuatro réplicas. Se midieron variables referentes al riego (consumo de agua y el uso eficiente del agua) vegetativas (altura de planta, número de guía y hojas) y de producción (número de frutos por planta, características del fruto y rendimiento). Los resultados mostraron el considerable ahorro de agua y el uso eficiente de la misma, con la aplicación del riego deficitario. Tanto las variables vegetativas y de producción no presentaron diferencia significativa (p>0.05) por la aplicación del riego deficitario. Los datos sugieren que la reducción del 20% de la lámina es donde se produce el mejor rendimiento y mayor eficiencia del uso del agua. No se encontró evidencia que demuestre que la aplicación del riego deficitario en la etapa inicial del pepino afecte al normal desarrollo y producción.
