Authors: Said Marwina , Daud Frissida , Asiri Masnona
Published: May 2024

The study aims to evaluate postpartum women' birthing experiences and maternal role confidence in Jolo maternity facilities. A quantitative-descriptive cross-sectional survey methodology was used to investigate the relationship between delivery experience and maternal role confidence. The study included 100 postpartum mothers who gave birth within six weeks of delivery or in the early postpartum period. The respondents were largely young adults who were literate, earning below monthly income, had two pregnancies, gave birth in government hospitals, and were treated institutionally by qualified health professionals. They were moderately satisfied with their delivery experience and quite confident in their maternal role. There were no significant variations in the extent of delivery experience or maternal role confidence across socio-demographic groups. A positive correlation was identified between childbirth experience and maternal role confidence.

Published: May 2024

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar se a melatonina enteral diminui a incidência de delirium em adultos em estado grave. Métodos: Neste estudo controlado e randomizado, os adultos foram admitidos à unidade de terapia intensiva e/ou receberam apenas o padrão de cuidado habitual (Grupo Controle) ou o tratamento combinado com 3mg de melatonina enteral uma vez ao dia às 21h (Grupo Melatonina). A ocultação da alocação foi feita por meio de envelopes selados opacos e numerados sequencialmente. O intensivista que avaliou o delirium e o pesquisador que realizou a análise dos dados foram cegados quanto à alocação do grupo. O desfecho primário foi a incidência de delirium dentro de 24 horas de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva. Os desfechos secundários foram a incidência de delirium nos dias 3 e 7, a mortalidade na unidade de terapia intensiva, a duração da internação na unidade de terapia intensiva, a duração da ventilação mecânica e o escore da escala de desfecho de Glasgow (na alta). Resultados: Foram incluídos 108 pacientes na análise final, com 54 sujeitos em cada grupo. Em 24 horas de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva, a incidência de delirium não foi diferente entre os Grupos Melatonina e Controle (29,6% versus 46,2%; RR = 0,6; IC95% 0,38 - 1,05; p = 0,11). Nenhum desfecho secundário apresentou diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: Em adultos em estado grave, 3mg de melatonina enteral não foi mais eficaz que os cuidados padrão na redução da incidência de delirium.
Assessment of assertiveness in the intellectually handicapped
Authors: Bramston Paul , Snyder Conrad W. , Leah Judith A. , Law Henry G.
Published: May 2024

Earlier work in the structural analysis of self-reported difficulty in assertiveness had indicated that individuals differed in terms of a two-facet model - response type (positive vs. negative assertiveness) by referents (close vs distant interpersonal encounters). This study replicated the individual differences structure for an intellectually handicapped sample, thus extending the generalizability of that model. However, although the dimensions were found in three different methods of assessment, self-report, behavioral rating, and role play, little agreement was found between the methods in accounting for individual profiles. Additionally, there were hints that the four interaction dimensions of assertiveness might actually reflect different difficulty positions on a non-linear unidimensional scale of assertiveness. Using a Rasch model to derive the single scale, role play and self-report were significantly correlated in their assessments, but the correlation was not very great. It was hypothesized that method differences might reflect legitimately different perspectives of close-distant referent raters.
Konstelasi Politik Klientelisme Gus Ali :Studi Relasi Kuasa Patron – Klien Gus Ali di dalam Pilkada Sidoarjo 2020 dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Pemerintahan Gus Mudhlor - Subandi
Authors: Galang Geraldy  , Lasiono
Published: May 2024

Konstelasi Pilkada Sidoarjo 2020 diikuti oleh tiga kandidat yaitu pasangan Bambang Haryo – Moh.Taufiqulbar, Ahmad Mudhlor – Subandi dan Kelana – Dwi Astutik. Pemenang pilkada yaitu pasangan Ahmad Mudhlor (Gus Mudhlor) – Subandi yaitu meraih 387.766 suara, selisih hanya 1,5 % dari pasangan Bambang Haryo – Moh.Taufiqulbar. Penelitian ini menunjukkan faktor fundamental kemenangan Gus Mudhlor – Subandi karena kuatnya pengaruh ayah dari Gus Mudhlor, yaitu KH. Ali Masyhuri (Gus Ali). Gus Ali memiliki seluruh modal sebagai patron politik Sidoarjo, yang kemudian terbentuklah relasi kuasa politik klientelisme dalam pilkada tersebut. Faktor-faktor pendukung terbentuknya patronase Gus Ali dan relasi kuasa politik klientalisme di Pilkada Sidoarjo dari dua hal. Pertama, faktor internal yaitu ketokohan Gus Ali sebagai ulama besar yang sangat disegani oleh pejabat publik maupun politisi skala lokal sampai nasional. Tipologi ulama besar tentu berkelindan dengan basis santri yang sangat banyak dan menyebar di berbagai kalangan masyarakat. Hal ini menjadi modal politik dengan adanya relasi kuasa antara ulama dan santri. Kedua, faktor eksternal, dimana secara sosial-kultural sebagian besar masyarakat Sidoarjo adalah agamis seperti halnya karakter masyarakat di daerah tapal kuda Jawa Timur. Selain itu, runtuhnya hegemoni politik Saiful Illah, bupati dua periode akibat kasus korupsi, merubah konfigurasi kekuatan politik dari pendopo beralih ke ponpes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan faktor-faktor di atas menjadi penentu kemenanagan Gus Mudhlor – Subandi. Patronase Gus Ali mampu membentuk relasi patron-klientelisme terhadap elit PKB, masyarakat Sidoarjo, ASN yang menjadi santri, sampai penyelenggara pemilu seperti KPU dan Bawaslu yang memberikan ‘privillege’ terhadap Gus Mudhlor selama proses kampanye pemilu berlangsung. Di dalam proses kebijakan maupun evaluasi pemerintahan pun, masyarakat lebih bertumpu pada membangun mekanisme komunikasi dengan Gus Ali, yang dianggap sangat berkuasa dalam mengintervensi kebijakan dan perilaku politik Gus Mudhlor – Subandi.

El sardo Antonio Machoni. Misionero, catedrático y superior en la provincia jesuítica del Paraguay
Authors: Page Carlos
Published: May 2024

En este trabajo presentamos una biografía construida con fuentes editas e inéditas sobre el jesuita Antonio Machoni, con el objetivo de visualizar la diversificada labor que desarrolló en la Provincia del Paraguay en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII. Cumplió funciones en los más importantes minis-terios de la Compañía de Jesús, una vez concluidos sus estudios en el Colegio Máximo de San Igna-cio de Córdoba, donde además fue profesor y rector en las postrimerías de su vida. Pero también fue un destacado misionero entre etnias no cristianizadas y de difícil acercamiento, completando funcio-nes como procurador a Europa y provincial. En cada una de estas actividades dejó publicaciones que marcan su experiencia y transferencia de conocimientos para sus continuadores. Se intenta re-sumir una de esas tantas “vidas ilustres”, poco reconocidas, que pretendemos enmendar como ejemplo de vida pastoral en las remotas tierras americanas.
Posesiones en lucha: para una teoría de la soberanía marítima verosímil en el Caribe durante la era de la vela
Authors: Vivas Pineda Gerardo
Published: May 2024

El trabajo trata el problema de la engañosa posesión del mar frente al concepto tradicionalmente aceptado de posesión de la tierra, bajo una nueva visión amplificadora de la posible soberanía allí generada, tan cambiante como la variable posesión marítima en la cual vientos y corrientes permitían o negaban la repetición de recorridos y cruceros. Para ello expone quién pudo poseer el mar de la Tierra Firme septentrional, donde Nueva Granada y las provincias venezolanas disputaron la península de la Guajira y posteriormente el golfo de Venezuela, a pesar de la sentencia oceánica a favor de la Tierra de Gracia oriental y de la variabilidad conceptual de la soberanía. Con este objetivo repasa la intervención naval extranjera, la penetración holandesa, el problema estructural de la metrópoli española, el relativo e inconstante dominio marítimo influido por el contrabando, y el enfrentamiento caribeño de las potencias talasocráticas europeas.

La Importancia de lo Humano y de lo que nos Humaniza
Authors: Trigo, s.j. Pedro
Published: May 2024

Lo decisivo del tema estriba en que hoy se fomentan las cualidades humanas y se desconoce la calidad humana y aun se atenta contra ella. Las cualidades pertenecen a lo útil, no a lo valioso. Por eso sólo se las puede y se las debe desarrollar en función de la calidad. Jesús de Nazaret es el ejemplar sumo de humanidad y lo fue porque vivió completamente entregado a los demás desde no tener dónde reclinar la cabeza. Por eso, aunque fue capaz de levantar al pueblo abatido, también tuvo que recibir cada día alimentación y cobijo. De ese modo instauró la reciprocidad de dones como alternativa superadora al “te doy para que me des”, que regía en el imperio romano y que rige en la actualidad. Ese modo de vivir desde relaciones horizontales, gratuitas y abiertas es siempre posible porque a todos se nos entregó el Espíritu de Jesús que nos capacita para hacerlo. Ahora bien, para eso tenemos que vivir con libertad liberada, de manera que lo que nos hacen negativamente, aunque nos afecte, no nos influya, porque vivimos desde esas relaciones trascedentes. Pero para vivir así, personalizadamente, tenemos que desearlo como el único modo humano de vivir, el único que nos da alegría.
Discernimiento Cristiano de la situación y elementos indispensables para una alternativa superadora
Authors: Trigo, s.j. Pedro
Published: May 2024

Lo primero que queremos poner de relieve es que una alternativa que sea realmente superadora sólo se lograrádesde la situación actual: sólo optimizando lo bueno podemos superar lo malo. Por tanto, tenemos que comenzarpor hacernos cargo de nuestra situación. Y tenemos que ser capaces de ver lo positivo, porque, si fuera verdad quetodo está mal, no tendríamos remedio. Para que este análisis sea cristiano, es decir humanizador desde elparadigma de Jesús, tenemos que explicitar las actitudes desde las que lo llevamos a cabo: desde dentro, desdeabajo, con un enfoque constructivo, incluyente, por las buenas, y de modo que todos seamos sujetos eninteracción simbiótica.Al analizar la situación no podemos restringirnos a nuestro país, porque la globalización y la simultaneidad virtualnos atañen también a nosotros, no sólo como receptores sino también como sujetos, aunque los que comandanhoy esta figura histórica son las corporaciones globalizadas y los grandes financistas. Por eso no existe democraciaen ningún país. En nuestro país el principal problema es que no existe Estado, ya que el gobierno sólo se ocupa deperpetuarse en el poder y desde él obtener ganancias casi ilimitadas, hoy, sobre todo, por la minería en el arco deGuayana. Por eso, el deterioro de todos los servicios, la ruptura de la cadena de producción y la dedicación de lamayoría a subsistir. Como la mayoría no ve futuro, sobre todo los jóvenes, han emigrado siete millones y siguensaliendo. Lo que queda de empresa privada es en buena medida porque los trabajadores la han defendido y losempresarios los han tenido en cuenta. Urge estimular este tipo de empresas, sobre todo las que tienen ventajascompetitivas y las indispensables para recomponer la cadena de producción. Sin embargo, en esta situación se dael milagro de bastantes que, no teniendo cómo vivir, no se dedican a sobrevivir sino que viven, conviven y hastadan de su pobreza. Esto ocurre en los barrios y en profesionales, por ejemplo, de la educación y salud, que, viendoque su servicio es más necesario que nunca, se esmeran en su trabajo, aunque no ganen para vivir. Los mismopodemos decir de muchos emprendedores. En la alternativa superadora tenemos que caber todos como sujetosdeliberantes con libertad liberada. Contribuir a que se forme una masa crítica de estos sujetos es lo más decisivo yel principal aporte del cristianismo, si vive en seguimiento de Jesús. Estos sujetos tienen que organizarse enmultitud de asociaciones y organizaciones, que procedan siempre desde la deliberación. Estas comunidades einstituciones tienen que enredarse, tanto a nivel local como global. Y tienen que propiciar vocaciones políticaspara que el Estado propicie todo este proceso. Apoyado en este cuerpo social, el gobierno puede poner en sulugar, que lo tiene, tanto a las corporaciones globalizadas y los grandes financistas, como a los populistas, como alos que se aferran por la fuerza (ejército y policía) en el poder. Estos cuatro pasos son indispensables para que sedé una alternativa superadora.
El Dictamen Fiscal de Campomanes. Los Jesuitas vs la vía reservada (1766-1767). Memoria documental
Authors: Rodríguez Souquet Carlos
Published: May 2024

El Dictamen Fiscal, compuesto por don Pedro Rodríguez Campomanes y refrendado por el ConsejoExtraordinario, sirvió de instrumento jurídico a Carlos III para expulsar a los Jesuitas del Reino de España y susIndias. La tesis de la participación de los Jesuitas -como fautores- en el motín de la semana santa de 1766 en Madrid,así como su supuesta tutela respecto a los pasquines ilícitos de aquellos días, sirvieron como punto de partida para laPesquisa Secreta que concluiría con la redacción del informe judicial del Conde de Campomanes y el precipitadoextrañamiento de los Jesuitas en España. De allí que revisitar los 172 folios del Dictamen -dejando lugar a la voz desu autor y de los testigos de la Pesquisa- consentirá ajustar la percepción de este lugar de la memoria colectiva,permitiendo recordar o, quizás, descubrir los parámetros sociales, culturales y jurídicos que formaban el imaginariode su relator y de las personas interpeladas de entonces y de hoy.

Introduction. Priapism is a pathological hemodynamic condition characterized by a prolonged erection unrelated to sexual stimulation that lasts more than four hours. There are arterial (non-ischemic, high-flow) and venous (venoocclusive, low-flow) priapisms, which differ in etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations. The formation of arterial high-flow priapism occurs due to trauma to the internal arteries of the penis and the formation of a pathological fistula between the arterial vessel and the sinusoidal tissue.

Purpose of the study. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of X-ray endovascular technologies in the treatment of high-flow arterial priapism in children.

Materials and methods. For the period from 2016 to 2020, 3 patients with high-flow post-traumatic arterial priapism were treated at the Pediatric Urology Clinic of St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. On the first day after injury, all patients complained of dysuria, paresthesia, and pain in the penis. The development of a painless permanent erection, which persisted at the time of hospitalization, was formed no earlier than 2 days after the injury. Ultrasound with duplex mapping was used as a diagnostic method. In all patients, ultrasound and Doppler examination revealed an arteriosinusoidal fistula at the base of the cavernous bodies, with a highly active blood flow from the damaged branch of the deep artery of the cavernous body. All patients underwent superselective angiography of the vessels of the penis, followed by X-ray endovascular embolization of the arteriocavernous fistula.

Results. In one case, an arterial autohemoclot with a contrast agent was used as a material for embolization. In two other cases, a suspension of a finely dispersed hemostatic sponge in a contrast agent was immediately applied. A recurrence of priapism was noted in a child after the application of an autohemoclot, after 12 days a repeated X-ray surgery was performed, a suspension of a hemostatic sponge was used as an embolization material. There were no surgical complications in the postoperative period. There were no complaints at the time of discharge. When viewed after 7, 14, 30 days, 6 months and one year, erectile dysfunction was not recorded.

Conclusion. X-ray endovascular embolization of an arteriocavernous fistula is the method of choice in the treatment of patients with arterial high-flow post-traumatic priapism.
Evaluation of the effect of the antioxidant complex “BESTFertil-DHA” on spermogram parameters and the index of sperm DNA fragmentation in men from infertile couples with metabolic syndrome
Authors: Gamidov S. I. , Popova A. Yu. , Shatylko T. V. , Vedenyapin A. V.
Published: May 2024

Introduction.Antioxidant therapy is the optimal type of treatment for idiopathic male infertility due to the good ratio of efficacy and safety. Considering that oxidative stress is one of the pathogenetic links in sperm DNA damage, antioxidant drugs can also reduce the DNA fragmentation index. Men who are overweight or severely obese have a high risk of sexual dysfunction and reproductive disorders. Antioxidant therapy plays a leading role in infertility associated with metabolic syndrome. The main active ingredients in «BESTFertil-DHA» are L-carnitine, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, the action of which is complemented by other components, which makes the use of the complex attractive in combination with male infertility and metabolic syndrome. However, it is unknown how well they work with a combination of these pathological conditions.

Aim.Is to evaluate the effectiveness of administration of Russian complex «BESTFertil-DHA» on spermogram parameters and the index of sperm DNA fragmentation in men from infertile couples with metabolic syndrome.

Materials and methods.The study included 60 patients divided into cohort A- 26 patients with metabolic syndrome, cohort B- 34 patients without metabolic syndrome. All patients received «BESTFertil-DHA». All patients underwent a spermogram, an analysis for the fermentation of sperm DNA, blood for sex hormones, markers of metabolic syndrome on the first visit, and on the 2nd visit after therapy.

Results.In cohort A, significant results were observed in terms of weight, BMI, C-reactive protein level, and HOMA-IR index. There is a significant improvement in the parameters of the spermogram, a decrease in the index of fragmentation of sperm DNA, a decrease in estradiol, normalization of the T/E2 index. In cohort B, changes in weight, BMI and a number of spermological parameters were observed, there were no changes in metabolic and endocrine parameters.

Conclusion.Combined antioxidant therapy in the form of a complex of nutrients «BESTFertil-DHA» effectively reduces the index of fragmentation of sperm DNA and leads to normalization of spermogram parameters, both in the general cohort of patients and among men with metabolic syndrome. Moreover, in the latter, the «BESTFertilDHA» complex in combination with measures to reduce body weight gives additional therapeutic effects, affecting carbohydrate metabolism, aromatization of testosterone and the severity of systemic inflammation.
The role of testosterone and estradiol levels in seminal plasma in the ejaculate microbiota in men
Authors: Pochernikov D. G. , Postovoytenko N. T. , Lipatova N. A. , Strelnikov A. I.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. In recent years, fundamental research has appeared proving the important role of the level of sex hormones on the microbiota of the urogenital tract. Evidence has emerged that the level of testosterone and estradiol not only in the blood but also in the seminal plasma affects the functional parameters of sperm, as well as the course of chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

The study objective. To identify the influence of the level of sex hormones in blood serum and seminal plasma on the microbiota of ejaculate in healthy men.

Material and methods. A prospective pilot study was conducted on 20 fertile male volunteers who applied for a preventive examination and did not present active complaints. All patients underwent a double study of the ejaculate by PCR real-time (Androflor®) test, as well as determination of the level of hormones in the blood serum: total testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, sex hormone binding globulin, calculation of the free androgen index and testosterone/estradiol ratio, in the seminal plasma of total testosterone and estradiol.

Results. In more than half of the cases, anaerobes and opportunistic microorganisms were found in the sperm. In the ejaculate, the levels of total testosterone and estradiol were statistically significantly higher compared to blood serum; the testosterone/estradiol ratio was not statistically different in the blood and seminal plasma. A statistically significant indirect relationship was revealed between the level of testosterone in the blood serum and the value of total bacterial mass in semen (p<0.05). A statistically significant indirect relationship was observed between the level of testosterone in the blood serum and the presence of Atopobium cluster and Sneathia spp./Leptotrichia spp./ usobacterium spp. in semen. (р<0.05). A pronounced tendency was revealed for a lower frequency of occurrence of Enterobacteriaceae spp./Enterococcus spp. in the ejaculate at high levels of testosterone/estradiol ratio.

Conclusion. The levels of testosterone and estradiol in blood serum and ejaculate are significantly different and do not always correlate with each other. Our study demonstrates the presence of a correlation between the level of testosterone in the blood serum and testosterone/estradiol ratio with the total bacterial mass in the ejaculate, which is evidence of the etiological significance of sex hormones in the development of bacteriospermia in men.

Introduction. Conventional methods of processing testicular and epididymal specimens are based on simple washing, so that spermatozoa are contaminated with other cells and difficult to recover from the sediment. The newly method is based on differential centrifugation, which has never been used for male germ cells before. Cell particles are separated according to their sedimentation rate so that spermatozoa remain in the supernatant, whereas the sediment with extra cells and debris is removed. A pure fraction of spermatozoa from supernatant is retrieved even in severe cases.

Methods. A total of 436 specimens surgically obtained from epididymis/testis in 398 patients were treated using method of differential centrifugation. To evaluate the effectiveness of the new approach, each biological sample was assigned to a specific quality category based on sperm content during intraoperative examination. The recovered spermatozoa were used to fertilize the fresh spouse’s oocytes and/or cryopreserved. A retrospective data analysis was performed.

Results. The microscopic examination surgically obtained specimens revealed at least one spermatozoon in all fields of view in 237 patients (59,5%). The further processing by differential centrifugation was 99,6% efficient (spermatozoa for fertilization were recovered in 236 cases, including cryopreservation in 214 cases). In 199 patients no spermatozoa were found during intraoperative examination. After treatment by differential centrifugation, single spermatozoa were isolated and used for oocyte fertilization in 40 cases (20%).

Conclusion. The newly proposed method of processing cell suspensions for spermatozoa recovery allows obtaining male germ cells from biopsy samples and using them for fertilization, especially if they are critically low in number and conventional methods for sperm recovery do no work or inefficient.

A study and analysis on the role of legal accounting in fraud detection and prevention
Authors: Emani Fatemeh
Published: May 2024

Forensic accountants are CPAs that look for evidence of crimes and commonly work for insurance companies, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies. Forensic accountants analyze financial records and accounts that may be used as legal evidence and often testify in court cases as expert witnesses. Forensic accounting is a specialized area of accounting and a challenging one. A forensic accountant investigates incidents of fraud, bribery, money laundering and embezzlement by analyzing financial records and transactions, tracing assets, and more. This study on forensic accounting services and fraud prevention was empirically investigated.

Beyond the Goldsmith Line: Assessing the Intricacies of Border Control, Regional Interactions, and Cross-Border Risks in the Iran-Pakistan Border Region
Authors: Ahmad Aftab
Published: May 2024

The Goldsmith Line is a crucial 564-mile route that runs from the Koh-i-Malik Siah tri-junction to Gawadar on the Arabian Sea coast, serving as a significant connection between the Middle East and South Asia, specifically dividing Iran and Pakistan. The Baloch people living on both sides of this border contribute to the region's demographic importance. This study examines the intricacies of border management, exploring historical elements such as regional alliances, relationships with the United States, and sectarian conflicts that have influenced security in the area. The Goldsmith Line is not involved in territorial issues but has security challenges because of cross-border migration, drug smuggling, and extremism. The border has become a potential battleground due to ongoing tensions and separatist operations. Despite the 1960 Border Accord and the 2013 security management agreement, controlling the area is difficult because of insufficient infrastructure and technology. The study examines how the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has affected Iran-Pakistan relations and proposes that a strategic partnership rather than sectarianism should be the basis for bilateral ties. Transnational criminal organizations are increasing, making border security more complex, leading to attacks and allegations between the two nations. To tackle these difficulties, we need increased collaboration, technical progress, and a wider emphasis on socioeconomic growth to reduce criminal activities and promote regional stability.
