Authors: Arawa Shayees , Ahmad Gilkar Suhail , Bashi Maria
Published: July 2023

Objective: This study is focused to know the co-relation between blood groups and Hemoglobin in elderly population (≥65 years), so that proper and regular screening and preventive measures can be undertaken so as to prevent anaemia in individuals who are prone to it. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted on 161 individuals comprising of both male and female of age ≥65 years of age to nd out the correlation between ABO blood group, Rh factor and hemoglobin concentration. The study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India from May 2023 to June 2023, after taking the approval of the institutional ethics committee. After taking the consent from the patient and under all aseptic precautions blood samples were taken, ABO and Rhesus blood grouping were done using the slide method and Hemoglobin concentration was estimated by Acid Haematin method. Result: In our study of 161 subjects comprising 77 males and 84 females with age ≥65 years blood group B was the most frequent blood group with frequency of about 36.64%, followed by blood group O comprising of 29.81%, blood group A comprising of 24.22% and blood group AB comprising of 9.31% respectively. Prevalence of anaemia in older subjects is 65.21 %, and anaemia is more common in blood group B ( 72.88% ) followed by blood group O ( 68.75 % ) followed by A ( 61.53% )and AB ( 33.33 % ) blood group respectively. Out of total study population 81.98% belonged to Rh positive and 18.01 % belonged to Rh negative blood group. Out of total male subjects 58.44 % had low haemoglobin concentration whereas in case of females 71.42 % were having low Hb .This clearly shows that old age females are more susceptible to anaemia than old age males. Conclusion: Prevalence of anaemia in older subjects is 65.21 %. Blood group B is the most common blood group followed by blood groups O, A and AB respectively. In old age individuals anaemia is more frequent in blood group B followed by blood groups O, A and least in blood group AB. Females are more prone to develop anaemia than men in old age. Based on their blood groups, we can advise regular screening and intake of diet rich in iron and vitamins or also recommend supplements from early ages to the individual who are more susceptible to anaemia, so that we can reduce the complication and burden of anaemia in their older ages and on the society as whole.

Semi-analytical design of PDE endpoint controller for flexible manipulator with non-homogenous boundary conditions
Authors: Yaqubi Sadeq , Tahamipour-Z. S. Mohammad , Mattila Jouni
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes a new semi-analytical design and implementation method for nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) control of flexible manipulator. The proposed scheme considers the effects of boundary input force and gravity on the payload, which results in non-homogenous boundary conditions. This objective is achieved based on an appropriate model transformation scheme for homogenizing boundary conditions, which enables obtaining semi-analytical solutions for the corresponding PDE model. Model transformation is assigned as a hybrid exponential–polynomial function whose coefficients are conveniently calculable without the need for any additional boundary condition measurements. This results in elimination of the need for using intensive numerical solvers,  e.g., those based on finite element analysis, and allows for implementation of sophisticated PDE control methods considering fully nonlinear PDE models with high computation speed. Precision and efficiency of calculating distributed states using proposed model transformation is demonstrated based on experimental data for the manipulator with respect to ground truth camera-based motion capture system. The model transformation is also numerically implemented for the proposed nonlinear endpoint control method based on original PDE model. Note to practitioners—This paper investigates difficulty of obtaining data describing flexible manipulator pose required for precise control and analysis, and proposes a computationally efficient method to overcome this issue.
Do parties adjust their policy proposals to the political context? A study of election promises during the 2022 Italian general election
Authors: Borgnino Giorgia , Palma Nicola
Published: July 2023

This paper investigates towards which policy issues Italian political parties oriented their commitments in the run-up to the 2022 parliamentary election. Do parties make more promises in salient domains? Or, do they prioritise those issues in which they enjoy ownership? To answer these questions, we created a novel dataset that contains 3,992 election pledges made by Italian political parties in the 2022 electoral campaign. By looking at the programmatic policies included in the campaign manifestos of the main political parties and coalitions during the last general election, we find that Italian parties seem to compete around the same issues. In particular, in 2022 a large share of election promises was devoted to economic and social matters. Although the Ukrainian war, the resulting energy crisis, and the implementation of EU-funded investments were the backdrop to the 2022 electoral campaign, Italian political parties do not seem to prioritize these issues.

Authors: Choi Heelyeon , Kang Daeho , Choi Younghun , Jeon Junho
Published: July 2023

With the increase of manufacturing and use of chemicals, an increasing amount of chemicals enters surface water through various pathways. Their concentrations range from ng/L to mg/L, and they are recognized as micropollutants that pose potential risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study quantitatively analyzed the diverse micropollutants in a stream affected by effluents from a waste-water treatment plant (WWTP) and demonstrated the changes in concentration over time. To capture temporal trends, water samples were collected using a portable composite sampler. For a comprehensive chemical analysis of the 148 species, target screening was conducted using liquid chromatography with high resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS). As a result of the quantitative analysis, a total of 71 substances were detected at concentrations higher than the limit of quantification (LOQ). Pharmaceuticals accounted for the highest proportion among the detected substances. Tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (tbep), which is used as an organophosphate flame retardant (OPFRs), was detected as a major pollutant at a maximum of 14,000 ng/L. Metformin, Pentaethylene glycol, cetirizine, galaxolidone, acetaminophen, heptaethylene glycol, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, sulfapyridine, valsartan acid, telmisartan, fluconazole, benzotriazole, olmesartan, 4-Methyl-1H-benzotriazole, sitagliptin, and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) were detected at concentrations of 1,000 ng/L or higher. As a unique temporal trend in the concentration, per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and benzotriazoles exhibited the highest concentrations from 00:30 to 02:00 on 5/10 with a gradual decrease thereafter. The main factor responsible for this change in concentration was the effluent from the WWTP located upstream of the sampling point. In addition, the substance used in a nearby large-scale industrial complex is considered a significant factor.

Published: July 2023

OBJETIVO: determinar la perspectiva institucional en torno a las competencias investigativas en los postgrados de la USAC. MÉTODO:  enfoque mixto, un estudio no experimental, de alcance descriptivo, con un diseño recurrente. RESULTADOS: se logró establecer a través de las entrevistas que existen siete aspectos que son esenciales para crear esa perspectiva institucional con respecto a las competencias investigativas, estas son: visión institucional, políticas que sustentan la investigación en Posgrados, promoción de la cultura investigativa, retos y desafíos de la investigación en posgrados, seguimiento de la tarea investigativa, impulso de las competencias investigativas y acciones a seguir  CONCLUSIÓN: se logró establecer a nivel institucional  la perspectiva que tienen las autoridades con relación al  desarrollo de las competencias investigativas, la cual  tiene varias aristas, entre ellas, el cambio de políticas  para contratar a los docentes de postgrado por más tiempo para realizar investigación en el marco institucional. Es importante reconocer que en los postgrados se propicia el desarrollo de las competencias investigativas, a través de los planes de estudio, así como también a partir de acciones académicas que cada unidad y centro realiza, aunque estas son aisladas, no son de uso compartido, lo que se torna en una limitante, no todos los postgrados tienen la misma dinámica.  Deben gestarse las condiciones para investigar para ir fortaleciendo la cultura, se debe trabajar de la mano con la DIGI-DIGED- SEP, quienes deben a partir de su liderazgo generar condiciones para los docentes y estudiantes para el fortalecimiento de la cultura investigativa.

Lesividad al bien jurídico como habilitante del poder punitivo del Estado
Authors: Orrego Dubón Ever Ariel
Published: July 2023

PROBLEMA: En la actualidad se sancionan conductas que solo generan un peligro y no materializan una afectación, lo cual es parte de un derecho de autor, pues no producen lesividad al bien jurídico protegido. OBJETIVO: determinar en relación a la función del derecho penal, si la materialización de una acción  al bien jurídico debe ser el presupuesto para perseguir y  castigar penalmente por el Estado y no por el hecho de poner en peligro de forma abstracta el posible resultado, lo cual colisiona contra el derecho penal de acto y constituyen penas desproporcionales. MÉTODO: La metodología utilizada se basa en el método inductivo y deductivo descriptivo, pues se analiza el fenómeno planeado como una hipótesis y generalizando la información del tema que se plantea, así como derivar de lo general a lo específico. RESULTADOS: hay nuevas corrientes como el Garantismo Penal, el Abolicionismo o el Minimalismo que responden a un derecho penal de acto, sin embargo, también hay políticas criminales encaminadas a castigar un supuesto autor y no por la lesión provocada al bien jurídico que es la garantía de un derecho penal de acto; CONCLUSIÓN: Por lo tanto la intervención mínima del Estado debe operar solo en los casos en que se lesione el bien jurídico, al ser el derecho penal de última ratio; así también, permitir ampliamente que la víctima esté legitimada para disponer de su accionar y facultar la persecución y no necesariamente que el Estado se atribuya legitimidad para accionar sin tomar en cuenta el consentimiento de la víctima al ser la persona sobre quién ha recaído directa o indirectamente la afectación.

OBJETIVO: reflexionar sobre el concepto de prisión preventiva, sus implicaciones durante la pandemia del COVID-19 y los mecanismos utilizados por el Estado para salvaguardar los derechos de los privados de libertad. MÉTODO: se hará uso de la metodología histórica para efectos de comprender el desarrollo del fenómeno, asimismo, legislativa con el propósito de analizar la función de la norma y su adaptación a las necesidades de la sociedad. RESULTADOS: el Estado como ente obligado de proteger los derechos y libertades de los ciudadanos, deberá establecer los mecanismos ideales para cumplir con su objetivo. CONCLUSIÓN: no es adecuado considerar esta medida como una pena anticipada, ya que esto implicaría la violación de garantías, es por ello que, su aplicación pretende prevenir consecuencias negativas para el correcto desarrollo del proceso.

Literature and Dual Reading

Language to literature is like greenery to a wood. It is the chief means of literary exposition, the medium in which interactive ideas flourish, and the roaming dreams rest. It is such an organic relationship that it is impossible to separate one from the other.Language of literature, to a literary critic, is a large spectrum of concepts, ideas, emotions, and excitement fused altogether within the force of motive that works in the mind of the author at the moment of artistic creation so that it would appear in a form that evokes feeling and calls for various interpretations on the part of the reader.Language to the author is the way by which s/he conveys him- or herself to those awaiting the moment of enunciation, i.e. the moment of the revelation of the literary work. However, it is a carefully selected way of expression. According to Chapman (1973:4), "Literary language has been chosen and manipulated by its user with great care and complexity than the average language user either can or wishes to exercise". The interaction of language and literature, as Pei (1972:138) states, "is a question that has long agitated linguists, causing them to divide into two more or less well-defined camps. Should language be viewed primarily as a speaking activity, and the written, literary language be considered ancillary to speech?" Clearly, this applies to one type of literature, i.e. the written one. What about the oral one of which  early Arabic  literature is the best example?

Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most common treatment modality for hydrocephalus. However, VPS infection is acommon and serious complication with high rates of mortality and morbidity and there is some emerging evidence suggesting that adherence to a strict protocol may be important in reducing the rate of shunt infection. Objectives: To develop a protocol for initial ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery and assess the efficacy of this protocol in reducing ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection rate. Materials and Methods: This study was a comparative study was carried out in the Department of Neurosurgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from December 2021 to March 2023. Total 100 patients were included in this study. Patients < 18 years of age undergoing initial ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for hydrocephalus due to various etiologies in the Department of Neurosurgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Data collection sheet was used to collect the necessary information. Voluntary written informed consent was taken from the patients and/or the legal guardian/responsible family members after completely explaining to them the procedure and the purpose of the study. Using simple random sampling by lottery method, the patients were divided into a study group and a control group. Patients in the study group underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery as per the proposed surgery protocol and strict adherence to the protocol by the operating surgeon was ensured. Patients in the control group underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery as per the current standard practice. Post-operative care of the patient was carried out as per the standard practice in both the groups. Follow-up of the patients were done on an outpatient department basis at 1 month and at 3 months postoperatively, where they were examined thoroughly for signs and symptoms of shunt infection. Patients not showing up at the outpatient department were ...

Published: July 2023

Background: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of highly variable severity, ranging from mild cases with low mortality to severe cases with high mortality. Numerous biomarkers have been studied as potential early predictors of the severity of this disease so that treatment can be optimally tailored to prevent complications. C-reactive protein and procalcitonin are the most promising single markers for assessment of major complications and prognosis. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels in acute pancreatitis. Methods: This was a prospective observational study. The study was conducted on 35 admitted patients with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from October 2016 to April 2017. Complete blood count, serum amylase, serum lipase, C-reactive protein and serum procalcitonin values were observed. Data were collected from history, clinical findings and investigations. Proper written consents were taken from all the participants before data collection. A predesigned questioner was used in data collection. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by using MS Excel and SPSS version 23 program as per necessity. Results: Among the parameters of the patients, P values of CRP were 0.047 and procalcitonin (PCT) was 0.032, less than 0.05 which were statistically significant. These studies have shown that, serum procalcitonin (PCT) is a good marker for predicting severity and development of organ failure in acute pancreatitis and it is superior to serum C reactive protein. The negative predictive values and positive predictive value for the procalcitonin were higher (90% and 53% respectively) than the respective values for CRP (89% and 47% respectively). The values of PCT showed high sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 81% in predicting severe acute pancreatitis. The negative predictive value was high (90%) indicating that with a negative test result ...

Published: July 2023

Haglund's disease is a relatively under-appreciated pathology, linked to calcaneo-achilles impingement. The etiology is not well known, and may be confused with other causes of talalgia. We report the case of a 55-year-old patient presenting with painful ankle oedema. The diagnosis was evoked on a standard weight-bearing X-ray of the left ankle and on ultrasound, and confirmed by an MRI of the ankle, showing a fissure with signal abnormality of the achilles tendon in relation to the oedema associated with preachilean bursitis. Treatment, initially medical, resulted in surgical resection of the posterosuperior angle of the calcaneus with good clinical outcome.

Published: July 2023

Sneddon's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by livedo and multiple ischemic strokes with no apparent cause. This report presents a case of a 34-year-old woman with a 16-year history of livedo who developed right hemibody heaviness, a decrease in visual acuity, and palpitations. The MRI showed bilateral parieto-occipital cortico-subcortical atrophy associated with abnormal signals in the deep white matter, parieto-occipital gliosis foci, and small-caliber artery vasculitis. The patient was eventually diagnosed with Sneddon's syndrome based on her clinical presentation, MRI results, and symptom evolution. The underlying mechanisms of the syndrome remain unclear, but it is thought to involve occlusion of small- and medium-sized arterioles. The neurological involvement of Sneddon's syndrome is highly diverse and dominated by cerebral ischemic events, leading over time to intellectual deterioration or even dementia. This report highlights the importance of considering Sneddon's syndrome as a differential diagnosis in cases of livedo and unexplained cerebral ischemia.
