The Arrangement of Street Vendors In Bandung, Indonesia
Authors: Хермавати Рина , Паскарина Каролина , Руниавати Нунунг
Published: December 2022

The arrangement of street vendors in Indonesian cities has yet to find an ideal pattern that can be applied universally across the country. However, the success of street vendor management in one place cannot be replicated in another area. This article presents the analysis of the supervision of street vendors populating Merdeka Street and Cihampelas Street in Bandung, Indonesia, using the best-practice approach. The latter includes the dimensions of impact, partnership, sustainability, leadership and community empowerment, and innovation within local context and transferability. This study uses a qualitative methodology, including research interviews and questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with street vendors and the task unit of street vendors. Questionnaires were distributed to 50 buyers and 50 other community members. So far, street vendors view regulations and rearrangement as decreasing their business opportunities and they prefer to return to informal arrangements. Regulation policies have not been implemented in a sustainable way, and no long-term road map has ever been produced. Moreover, street vendors have not been involved in the planning, action, and post-arrangement stages, raising resentment, dissatisfaction, and distrust among citizens. We conclude that decision-­making on the street vendoring arrangements should go beyond the cost-benefit analysis of street vendors’ profit after the rearrangement of their placements. Rather it should involve the whole scope of social, economic, and public aspects and considerations with the involvement of affected citizens, albeit under the supervision of state actors.
Недоступная доступная среда: анализ состояния инклюзивного образования в зарубежных вузах
Authors: Дебренн Мишель , Рыкун Артём , Сухушина Елена , Мин Ольга
Published: December 2022

Доля людей с ограниченными возможностями здоровья (ОВЗ) составляет около 15 % от общего населения, что делает инвалидов самым многочисленным меньшинством в мире. Однако их охват системой высшего образования продолжает оставаться чрезвычайно низким. В ЕС от 24 % людей с инвалидностью имеют высшее образования, против 36 % без инвалидности, в Индии эта доля составляет только 0,63 % от общего числа студентов вузов. На основе анализа статистических данных, законодательных актов, регулирующих взаимодействие вузов с сот­рудниками-­инвалидами и СОВЗ, вузовских документов, отчетов специализированных служб, судебных кейсов, материалов академических и ведомственных изданий рассматриваются стратегии и практики по обеспечению доступности образования студентам с инвалидностью, выделяются проблемы. Представлены кейсы США, имеющих один из самых высоких показателей в мире соотношения количества студентов-­инвалидов, и Франции, имеющей существенно меньшую долю СОВЗ, но располагающей развитыми институциальными механизмами обеспечения их прав. Анализируются примеры Университетов Тулейн (Новый Орлеан), Бордо и Эколь Политекник, представляющих как разные типы вузов, так и различающиеся политики во отношении СОВЗ. Общим для Франции и США является то, что инвалидность воспринимается дифференцированно, в зависимости от того с каким типом мы имеем дело. Общество признает легитимными требования о помощи со стороны лиц с видимой инвалидностью, но относится с недоверием к инвалидам с психическими заболеваниями, явные внешние проявления инвалидности у которых отсутствуют. В статье делаются выводы о заметных расхождениях в соблюдении прав инвалидов между Францией и США как на уровне механизмов и практик, так и на уровне результатов, в частности, представленности СОВЗ в вузах.

Review of the monograph# Mateusz Kuczabski’s Health Security Implications for National Security
Authors: Ilona Urych
Published: December 2022

The reviewed monography by Mateusz entitled J. Kuczabski „Health Security Implications for National Security” fills a significant gap, because, despite the availability of extensive foreign and domestic literature on health safety, it is difficult to find a commonly agreed definition. The potentially useful distinction between “health and safety”, “health system”, “healthcare system” and “health security” has not been developed in the literature. Interestingly, the author notes significant discrepancies in the understanding and application of the concept of health security existing even in UN agencies, for example between the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The results of the research by M. J. Kuczabski presented and prepared by the author may serve as an indication of the direction of future transformations in the field of health security and health policy in relation to the Polish security system.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a widespread condition that is difficult to manage medically. Often algologists are faced with patients who are poorly compliant with pharmacological treatment or with concomitant mood problems. There are treatments tailored to temperament and character patterns. In this study using the division into pain persistence and pain avoidance patterns, a stratification was hypothesized to facilitate its medical management using self-administered questionnaires. Methods: We screened the population consisting of FM patients to four different questionnaires, namely the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Short form 36 and the INTERMED- Self Assessment. Results: A total of thirty-two patients were enrolled. The analyzed population showed preponderant pain avoidance characteristics (90.7%). The persistence pattern proved to be present in only 9.3% of the population. The FM patients examined also reported an incidence of anxiety disorder of 71.9% and depressive disorder of 75%. Conclusion: Dividing the population with FM into patterns yielded uniform results. This justifies a multidisciplinary approach in these FM patients. The high incidence of anxiety and depression from the test results is an outcome that suggests the adoption of the HADS tool in the antalgic evaluation of FM patients.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure basic biotechnology knowledge, examine the psychometric properties of the scale, and investigate whether there are differences in the test performances of high school students in terms of school, grade, and gender. The development phase of this scale was carried out with a sample of 388 high school students in a province in the west of Turkey. The psychometric properties of the scale were examined using the Rasch model. The K-R internal consistency coefficient of the final scale consisting of 17 items was calculated as 0.77. It was observed that item-total correlations varied between 0.25 and 0.48 except for one item (item 1, 0.13). The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the scale fits the Rasch model and can differentiate low and high performing test takers. Three-Way ANOVA results demonstrated a significant main effect for the school. There were no statistically significant differences for grade and gender variables in terms of their biotechnology knowledge scores. However, the grade*gender interaction was statistically significant favoring males with small effect size. This observed effect was possibly due to uneven sample size of 12th grade students. The overall results suggest that the Basic Biotechnology Knowledge Scale (BBKS) can be used to assess the knowledge level of high school students.

Male bulbourethral gland secretions as physiological lubricant for vaginal dryness - A pilot study
Authors: S Singhal , N Bhaskar , A Kumar , M Gaur , ML Goyal
Published: December 2022

Background: Vaginal dryness is common during and after menopause due to declining oestrogen, vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), up to about a year after delivery during breast feeding and in many other conditions. This can be distressing to painful for women and may cause discomfort and dyspareunia. This study was performed to evaluate the use and practicability of secretions of male bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands) to alleviate the discomfort, dyspareunia or pain at sexual activity, because of inadequate lubrication of vagina. Method: When a healthy male is sexually aroused, Cowper's glands produce a mucous-like fluid called pre-ejaculate. This fluid is a clear, colourless, viscous, and salty liquid, which is emitted from the urethra of the penis. A lubrication free wet condom on penis during foreplay can prevent loss of these secretions during an extended foreplay and lubrication around penis due to these secretions can effectively serve as physiological lubricant during coitus. Result: This technique and secretion of Cowper’s glands are a good lubrication for dryness of vagina during coitus. Sexual function assessment revealed a marked improvement in all domains of sexual function to both partners. A physiological secretion being natural to the sexual act and providing motive for extending foreplay; it is arguably the best lubricant for coitus in situations of dry vagina. Conclusion: Supposedly the secretions may also help in reducing dose of HRT for menopause, extended foreplay adds to psychosexual benefits and a boost to sexual hormonal milieu.
Albumin and its association with lung cancer: An Indian perspective
Authors: B Singh , RV Rao
Published: December 2022

Studies have been carried out world over, to evaluate the role of albumin in lung cancer. However, limited studies which have addressed association of albumin with patient factors such as type of lung cancer, gender, performance status, stage, hemoglobin levels, and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the association of albumin with these factors. Amongst the 100 lung cancer cases, 69 were adenocarcinoma, 16 squamous cell, 13 small cell and 2 adenosquamous and, value of albumin below 3.4gm/dl was taken as hypoalbuminemia. Hypoalbuminemia was seen in 84% of small cell, 65% of adenocarcinoma, performance score (PS) of 1 - 47%, PS2- 61%, PS3- 75%, 65% of females, 61% of males, 70% of cases with symptoms less than 3 months duration, 41% of more than 3 months duration, 76% of stage IV, 13% of stage III, 68% of the males with anemia, 35% males with normal hemoglobin, 86% of females with anemia, and 14% with normal Hb. Lower albumin values co-relate with advanced disease and is considered as an adverse prognostic factor. However, this association is not absolute, as a significant number of patients without adverse features also have hypoalbuminemia. There are probably multiple roles of albumin in a cancer patient along with multiple factors effecting albumin levels whether treating hypoalbuminemia with albumin improve overall survival also need to be elucidated by further studies.

Authors: HB Rakshitha , M Sanjay , J Pravallika
Published: December 2022

Background: The spread of COVID-19 infection paved way to many admissions into hospitals worldwide exhausting the healthcare systems. A simple test for immediate stratification of risk in patients with infection by COVID 19 virus is important. Aim in this study was to know the prognostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in determination of the severity of infection in COVID-19 infected patients. Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary care institute, Mandya. Clearance from Institutional Ethical committee was taken. Data from 108 COVID-19 infected hospitalized patients between April 2021 and June 2021 were collected retrospectively from hospital records. Patients in the study were grouped into two groups as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Ward (Non ICU) patients, based on admission into ICU. The patient’s demographic characteristics, comorbidities, clinical manifestations, medications used and investigations done initially during admission were noted from the hospital files for both groups. Chi-square test/ Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical outcomes. Statistical significance was noted if P value < 0.05. Results: Of 108 patients, 25 patients (23.15%) had ICU admission. Patients aged >55years had more ICU admission (44%) than non-ICU admissions (22.89%). In patients <55years non-ICU admissions were more (77.11%) compared to ICU admissions (56%). Leukocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, high CRP values were seen more in patients in ICU than in ward and is significant statistically (p <0.05). High NLR values were seen in patients in ICU than in ward. Chi-square test is significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Increased NLR predicts the severity of infection in patients infected with COVID-19 virus, who will require admission into ICUs. It can be used as a biomarker which can aid in identifying severe COVID 19 infection.

Authors: BA Asha , AK Neeli , SB Amarnath
Published: December 2022

Unilateral vocal cord palsy is relatively common in Otorhinolaryngology clinics. Due to reasons more than one, the exact incidence of the etiology behind unilateral vocal cord palsy has remained a mystery difficult to unfold. The present study was undertaken to determine the clinical presentation and etiopathology of unilateral vocal cord paralysis. The present study was a prospective study undertaken in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at KIMS Hospital, Secunderabad from June 2018 to May 2020 after the approval of the Ethical Committee among 50 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Unilateral Vocal cord palsy. Patients with the fixity of the vocal cord, laryngeal malignancies, and bilateral Vocal cord palsy/paresis were excluded from the study. A thorough history and ENT, head & neck examination followed by a radiological examination to make an etiological diagnosis of Vocal cord palsy were done. For patients with no cause found, a CT/ MRI imaging was done before labeling them as idiopathic. Most of the patients presented in the 4th and 5th decades of life, with male predominance. The most common presenting symptom was hoarseness of voice (80%) and Left-side vocal cord palsy (56%) is more common. The most common cause was idiopathic (34%) followed by post-surgical trauma, neoplastic, central cause, cardiac, granulomatous disorders, and neurological and post-intubation trauma respectively. In conclusion, our study shows thorough evaluation and investigation of cases with unilateral vocal cord palsy unveils interesting and sometimes rare and probably life-threatening underlying pathologies, that could be managed appropriately.

Published: December 2022

Neoplasms of paranasal sinuses account for 0.2-0.8% of all cancers and for 2-3% of head and neck cancers. Primary involvement of sphenoidal sinus is very rare and has been reported to occur only in 1-2% of all paranasal sinus tumors. Unlike neoplasms of other paranasal sinuses, tumors of sphenoid sinus most commonly cause headache, visual disturbances and cranial neuropathies. The most common histological types reported include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and lymphoma. We describe a case of 17-years-old male who presented with headache and difficulty in eye movements. Magnetic resonance contrast study showed an enhancing mass in sphenoid sinus infiltrating to cavernous sinus. Endoscopic intranasal biopsy was done. The histological diagnosis was poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. He underwent chemoradiation. While undergoing treatment his vision got deteriorated. Follow-up Magnetic resonance imaging revealed intracranial and intraorbital extension of disease. The purpose of presenting this case report is that very few cases are reported in the world literature so far of sphenoid malignancy in this age group.

Published: December 2022

The article discusses the motivational aspects of professional and personal reliability of a specialist of law enforcement agencies. The peculiarities of the dynamics of his professional motivation in difficult situations are revealed. The ways of maintaining it at the level necessary for the performance of professional tasks are highlighted. The problem of controlling and increasing the motivation of a specialist as a professional is investigated, which makes it possible to effectively provide psychological support for a professionally significant motivational orientation. Theoretical analysis and experimental approbation of the problem solution are presented. The sub-components of the motivational factor in the course of a number of studies are justified: dispositional motivation; situational motivation; stable Self-image in the context of fulfilling professional duty; reflexivity of motives. The features of the resulting motivation dynamics are investigated, it is experimentally established that the dynamics of a specialist’s motivation in various professional situations has its own patterns and is implemented in they are divided into the main four stages. In situations of practical activity, the motivational factor of professional and personal reliability, according to the authors, is constantly present at the background level. The main motivating component for actions to perform professional tasks directly in a situation is the presence of a rationalized professional dispositional motivation; awareness by a specialist of the professional and personal consequences of his actions; the ability to reflect, self-determination, that is, to arbitrarily activate internal situational motivation.
Arquitectura religiosa cristiana en Corea del Sur
Authors: Lima Jr. Marcio Antonio de
Published: December 2022

Los primeros templos cristianos de Corea se construyeron sobre la base de la arquitectura tradicional y se vieron influenciados por el concepto arquitectónico y constructivo del 'hanok' (casa tradicional coreana). Este principio arquitectónico y constructivo pretende adaptar el edificio al entorno natural, así como a la entrada de luz solar. La primera arquitectura religiosa, principalmente protestante, también se caracterizaba por una organización espacial que recogía la cultura coreana de distinción entre hombres y mujeres. Este artículo pretende señalar en la producción contemporánea el diálogo entre los principios tradicionales y los nuevos enfoques del espacio de culto, además de presentar algunos principios que ayudaron a formular la arquitectura religiosa cristiana surcoreana.
A New Church in the Rising Sun: Saint Francis Xavier
Authors: Leoni Luigi
Published: December 2022

Among the wealth of buildings consecrated to the Shinto religion, Yamaguchi has a Christian place of worship: the Sanctuary of Saint Francis Xavier. The lot chosen is the same on which the previous church stood, symbol of the city and destroyed by a fire in 1991. Consonances and relations could be found with spaces that have wished to express with force the tension towards the Absolute not only in our Western world but also in the spaces of Oriental architecture, in particular Japanese, where the striving towards that spoliation and essentialness of things that is, a bottom, a thirst for truth is perceived. Finally, our effort had as its aim to make the architecture speak a universal language of the hearth of man, rapt to the infinite desire to experience beauty and to find himself once again within it to have an authentic experience of interior joy.
El reconocimiento facial como instrumento de investigación y prevención del delito
Authors: Freire Montero Antón Fructuoso
Published: December 2022

El reconocimiento facial es una moderna técnica de identificación biométrica susceptible de ser empleada en el ámbito de la investigación delictiva, así como en el campo de la seguridad. Tras la promulgación de la LO 7/2021, de protección de datos personales tratados para fines de prevención, detección, investigación y enjuiciamiento de infracciones penales y de ejecución de sanciones penales, las autoridades españolas cuentan con un respaldo normativo para emplear dicha tecnología en este contexto; sin embargo, es preciso considerar su impacto en los derechos fundamentales de los ciudadanos, especialmente en el ámbito de la privacidad.
La responsabilidad de los operadores de internet por las infracciones de los derechos de propiedad intelectual utilizando la técnica del framing
Authors: Martín Aláez Francisco Javier
Published: December 2022

El marco o framing puede afectar a los derechos de propiedad intelectual en la medida en que en una web se insertan obras o prestaciones protegidas que están alojadas en otra página distinta. En la actualidad este riesgo se ha visto incrementado al sustituirse el framing por el inline frame, que muestra la obra como un elemento integrante de la página al «incrustar» recursos externos de otro sitio web sin que los usuarios sean conscientes de ello. En este trabajo se analiza la evolución experimentada por los pronunciamientos del TJUE sobre la responsabilidad de los operadores de Internet en relación con el empleo de la técnica del framing durante la última década.
La protección laboral de los trabajadores jóvenes migrantes en el marco normativo internacional
Authors: Dozo Mougán Irene
Published: December 2022

La globalización ha posibilitado un nuevo contexto migratorio en el que los jóvenes están teniendo un papel destacado. La vulnerabilidad de los jóvenes migrantes no solo atañe al periodo en el que dura el proceso migratorio, sino que les acompañará en gran parte de su vida en los lugares de recepción. La estigmatización, la discriminación y la segregación a la que tendrán que enfrentarse en los Estados de recepción se reflejará también en su trayectoria laboral, sucumbiendo en aquellas ocupaciones con peores condiciones de trabajo. La falta de interés por parte de los gobiernos y los Estados de origen, tránsito y destino en elaborar políticas migratorias pluridimensionales e intersectoriales que regulen de forma eficaz los flujos migratorios, está poniendo en jaque los derechos más esenciales de los migrantes en general, pero de los más jóvenes en particular.

Musica y segunda lengua: Estudio de caso acerca de la percepción de relaciones y similitudes ente el aprendizaje de las dos disciplinas en alumnado de Educación Primaria
Authors: Bartoli Dalia , Gómez-Parra María Elena , Huertas-Abril Cristina A.
Published: December 2022

Este estudio tiene su origen en un proyecto de investigación e innovación docente titulado iPlay School of Music and Languages, participado por el Grupo de Investigación HUM-1006, Trinity College España-Portugal, y la Delegación Territorial de Educación, Deporte, Igualdad, Políticas Sociales y Conciliación de Córdoba (España), que consiste en la impartición de clases de música teórica e instrumental (clases de guitarra grupales) en inglés. El objetivo de este estudio es indagar en la relación entre el aprendizaje de la música y de la segunda lengua (inglés) a través de un cuestionario distribuido entre 41 estudiantes de entre 9 y 10 años de edad, de los que 24 habían participado durante un año en el mencionado proyecto, mientras que los demás alumnos estudiaban inglés en el colegio siguiendo el currículo escolar. En la encuesta se interroga a los sujetos sobre sus percepciones acerca del aprendizaje de la música y de la segunda lengua (L2) en torno a aspectos como procesamiento y elementos constitutivos. El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en indagar acerca de los beneficios que el aprendizaje de la música puede aportar al aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera Los resultados confirman que el entrenamiento musical ayuda al aprendizaje de la L2, y sugieren que es conveniente profundizar en esta investigación para descubrir mediante qué tipo de metodología el aprendizaje de la música puede beneficiar el de la L2, lo que puede conllevar una mejora en el aprendizaje de ambas disciplinas para la extrapolación de los resultados a prácticas de aula.
Pensar la literatura dramática desde la acción de escribir
Authors: Abizanda Losada Carmen
Published: December 2022

La enseñanza de contenidos de literatura dramática en el marco de las Escuelas de Arte Dramático tiene que ser global y humanista y podría incluir también la interpretación, la escritura y la puesta en escena. Desde la pedagogía estas enseñanzas reclaman que el alumno se desarrolle desde la creatividad, la capacidad de expresión y la receptividad.  Vinculado a la escena ha de reflexionar además sobre el entorno social y la realidad contemporánea. La creatividad y la imaginación son herramientas esenciales en la práctica artística y la pedagogía. Aplicadas a la literatura dramática suponen la posibilidad de acercar a los alumnos una visión nueva sobre los contenidos teóricos y sobre los textos dramáticos. Su importancia es capital en la comprensión de los procesos y la estructura de las obras tratadas en el aula. Imaginación y crítica no son realidades excluyentes. Ambas operan juntas y constituyen una forma diferente de ver el arte teatral: el arte de la palabra del que participa la literatura dramática. Crear para comprender y fomentar lugares para el encuentro y el debate. La creatividad acerca a los alumnos a las creaciones de los dramaturgos, pero también a la sociedad en que esos mismos están inmersos. Pensar el teatro desde la práctica, a partir de ejercicios de creación que impliquen la escritura en acción permite a los alumnos de Arte Dramático cuestionar la vigencia de un texto o interrogarse sobre la relación de éste con su propio presente.

Producción fílmica, género, literatura y traducción audiovisual didáctica (TAD) para el aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lenguas (AICLE)
Authors: Tinedo Rodríguez Antonio Jesús
Published: December 2022

Un mundo globalizado, cambiante e interconectado requiere ciudadanos multilingües y multiculturales que sepan manejarse en diferentes situaciones. La formación de dicha ciudadanía necesita propuestas educativas rigurosas e innovadoras que estén al servicio de las necesidades de la sociedad del siglo XXI. Teniendo en cuenta la elevada exposición a productos audiovisuales y la motivación y el interés que dichos productos suscitan es necesario explorar las diferentes posibilidades para la inclusión de los mismos en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. El análisis fílmico es una opción con un largo recurrido, y en las últimas décadas ha tenido lugar un inusitado auge de la Traducción Audiovisual Didáctica, materializado a en proyecto como PluriTAV, ClipFlair o TRADILEX. El objetivo de esta propuesta es explorar la escalabilidad de la Traducción Audiovisual Didáctica (TAD) para comprobar su compatibilidad con la producción audiovisual, los estudios fílmicos, la metodología AICLE (Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras) y el enfoque IFSyC (Inglés con Fines Sociales y de Cooperación) para el tratamiento de contenidos transversales. Para ello se ha producido un vídeo en el seno del Proyecto I+D+i TRADILEX (La TRaducción Audiovisual como recurso DIdáctico en el aprendizaje de Lenguas EXtranjeras) (2020-2023) que ha servido como base para diseñar una unidad didáctica. Este vídeo versa sobre las desigualdades de género a lo largo de la historia y se basa en A Room of One’s Own de Virginia Woolf. A modo de conclusión, la TAD muestra una alta compatibilidad con la metodología AICLE y el enfoque IFSyC es de gran interés para trabajar contenidos transversales en el aula de lenguas extranjeras.
Obstáculos en el aprendizaje del francés: percepciones de los estudiantes de lenguas modernas (Universidad ECCI)
Authors: Serrano-Carranza Olga Rocío
Published: December 2022

Este artículo de investigación precisa las percepciones sobre los obstáculos que surgen en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del idioma francés en un grupo de estudiantes de Lenguas Modernas. Para tal propósito, creamos una encuesta de opiniones que cuestionaba acerca de los obstáculos socioeconómicos, cognoscitivos, psicoafectivos, de concentración y los relacionados con el entorno de aprendizaje. 315 estudiantes de distintos semestres fueron interrogados de manera directa. Mediante el análisis cuantitativo de los datos recogidos se revela que un número relativamente bajo de estudiantes declara desempeñar simultáneamente y con éxito sus estudios y una labor remunerada. Cerca o más de la mitad afirma utilizar estrategias de aprendizaje apropiadas, comunicar con dificultad y no estima perjudicar su aprendizaje de la lengua francesa con el uso de distractores virtuales y electrónicos en clase. Se concluye que se deben hacer esfuerzos tanto individuales como colectivos para perfeccionar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el idioma francés.
La legitimidad constitucional del marco jurídico para responder a la COVID-19 en cuestión: Cronología comentada a la luz de la jurisprudencia constitucional
Authors: Teruel Lozano Germán M.
Published: December 2022

El objeto de este trabajo es estudiar el marco jurídico diseñado para responder a la COVID-19 en España, valorando su adecuación constitucional a la luz de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional. En especial, se tendrán en cuenta las SSTC 148/2021, de 14 de julio; 183/2021, de 27 de octubre; y la 70/2022, de 2 de junio que han cuestionado algunas de las decisiones clave del diseño jurídico de la respuesta a la pandemia: el confinamiento total de la población previsto en el primer estado de alarma; el carácter meramente habilitante y la excesiva prórroga del tercer estado de alarma; y la autorización y ratificación judicial de las medidas sanitarias adoptadas de acuerdo con la legislación de salud pública. A modo de conclusión, aprendiendo de la experiencia de la pandemia y de la doctrina sentada por el Constitucional, se plantearán algunas propuestas concretas de revisión de la legislación actual, especialmente de la LOAES.

Authors:   Computer Technologies Engineering Department, Al-Hadba University College, Mosul, Iraq, Ahmed Abdulsattar M. , Majeed Sayf A. , Dawood Younis S.
Published: December 2022

More releases of 5G operating in the millimeter wave (mmwave) range are now underway. In conjunction with the actual 5G updating process, researchers have already begun designing a new core for the 6G system. As expected, by 2030, the 6G mobile system will be employed internationally. 6G will operate at the THz gap, where Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) and atmospheric absorption loss become significant challenges. This means that new technologies need to be invented and tested to overcome these challenges and make the 6G system a reality. Among these technologies, 6G will be entirely Artificial Intelligence (AI) based. Several 6G applications are discussed in this paper, along with the general characteristics of the sub-Terahertz band and channel losses.

Published: December 2022

The paper concentrates on the design of a dual-band rectenna which consists of a receiving antenna, impedance matching, single-stage voltage doubler rectifier as well as a load. The rectenna is designed using HSMS 280C Schottky diodes as its main component and combined with the lumped elements, microstrip lines as well as quasi-Yagi with semi-bowtie as the driven element. The quasi-Yagi antenna with a semi-bowtie driven element is designed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and its Touchstone file is imported into the Advanced Design System (ADS) for simulation with the other components of the rectenna. The rectenna with an input power of −6dBm has an optimal Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) of 32.1% while receiving a signal from the ISM 0.868GHz band transmitter and 18.8% using the input power of −7dBm at ISM 0.915GHz band. Both PCEs are obtained using 700Ω and 900Ω as load and producing minimum output voltage (Vo) of 0.3V and 0.28V respectively. The rectenna operates in both Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) 0.868GHz and 0.915GHz bands since both are unlicensed bands. The ISM 0.868GHz band is normally used in Europe while ISM 0.915 GHz band is widely used in the United States as well as Japan. The dual-band rectenna can be used for powering a power management unit such as EM8500 or AEM30300 in an indoor environment.

Published: December 2022

Background: The objective was to determine the maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection in the southeast part of Bangladesh.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH), Bangladesh, for one year. Pregnant women were divided into suspected and confirmed groups based on the clinical features of COVID-19 and the results of RT-PCR (SARS-CoV2). Outcome measures were maternal death, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and stillbirth/neonatal death. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied for between-group comparisons. Binary logistic regression analysis was done for factors affecting feto-maternal outcomes. Results were presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results: A total of 144 pregnant women (n=144) were included in the study, divided into confirmed (n=71) and suspected (n=73). Complications were more in the confirmed group (p=0.315). Caesarean section was 69% and 64.4% in the confirmed and suspected groups, respectively (p=0.556). Eight women (5.55%) needed ICU admission, five (3.5%) required mechanical ventilation, and five (3.5%) women expired. Fetal distress was seen in 15 (10.41%) pregnancies. Stillbirth or neonatal death and the need for NICU admission were higher for suspected than in confirmed cases. Pregnancies with suspected COVID-19 had 3.91 times (OR: 3.913, 95% CI: 1.398-10.954) higher poor feto-maternal outcome. Unbooked status, COVID-19 test negativity, and use of antivirals were associated with poor feto-maternal outcomes.Conclusions: Pregnancies with COVID-19 were prone to poor feto-maternal outcomes. The study pointed to an improvement in the ANC of pregnant women with COVID-19 in a public hospital like Bangladesh.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure in which obstetricians do incisions through the mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more viable babies. The present study was undertaken to determine the indications and complication of first CS. Methods: This prospective comparative study was done in Tanta university hospital and Sidi Salem central hospital, Egypt for one year in the gynecology and obstetrics department. It involved all females delivered by primary CS in the period from November 2020 to November 2021. Data was collected from the admission sheets of the patients and hospital record system.Results: The total number of cases delivered by primary CS was 317, 104 case that represented 14.91%, 11.72% from the total number of cases delivered by CS in Tanta and Sidi Salem hospitals respectively. The most common indication for primary CS in Tanta university hospital among studied group was preeclampsia and eclampsia 53 case (16.71%). While in Sidi Salem central hospital, the most common indication was Failure of labor progress 18 case (17.3%). In Tanta university hospital, the most common complication was post-operative shivering 14 case (19.71%). While in Sidi Salem central hospital, the most common complication was intra operative hemorrhage 17 case (28.33%). Conclusions: The incidence of primary CS in both hospitals was high, so intensive care units, blood banks, incubators with artificial respiration machines and expertise staff must be available at central hospitals in an attempt to decrease the incidence and complications.

Background: The present study was aimed at investigating the prevalence of hypothyroidism in pregnant women in their first trimester in Chattagram, an iodine-sufficient area in Bangladesh. We also studied whether hypothyroidism in pregnancy has any correlation with high titres of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies and the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods: Our study included 100 pregnant women at their first antenatal checkup based on certain preselected criteria in two tertiary care hospitals in Chattogram. The levels of serum TSH, FT4, and anti-TPO were estimated to detect thyroid function from the collected blood sample. The oral glucose tolerance test was carried out between 24 and 28 weeks of gestational age. A standard predesigned proforma was used to record a detailed patient history and the findings of general physical examinations.Results: According to our results, thyroid disorder and GDM affect 19% and 13% of total pregnancies, respectively. Among TD patients, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) prevails the most (11%). The majority of the hypothyroid patients with a high titre of anti-TPO positivity (11%) indicate an autoimmune etiology (p<0.001). Furthermore, a statistically significant relationship (p<0.01) was established between hypothyroidism and GDM. No demographic data was observed to affect GDM and hypothyroidism.Conclusion: Thyroid disorders affect one in every six pregnant women in the southern part of Bangladesh. Moreover, hypothyroid pregnant women were found to be highly susceptible to GDM. Euthyroid women with a high titre of anti-TPO during their gestation should be closely monitored for the development of hypothyroidism and GDM.
The effect of intrauterine human chorionic gonadotrophin injection before embryo transfer on the implantation and pregnancy rate in infertile patients: a retrospective study
Authors: Shihabudeen Thasneem
Published: December 2022

Background: It is known that human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) has an important function in angiogenesis and reduces the inflammatory response which in turn favour the implantation process. Human chorionic gonadotrophin is secreted early during the pregnancy, hence plays an important role. Objective of the study is to investigate the effect of intrauterine hCG injection before embryo transfer (ET) on pregnancy outcome in infertile couples.Methods: 100 patients who have undergone embryo transfer from 01 October 2021, to 31 January 2022, in a study setting of ARC Fertility Centre, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital. After ensuring that the patients satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 received intrauterine hCG 5000 IU 3 to 4 hours before embryo transfer. Group 2 control group that did not receive intrauterine hCG. Every patient in either group had been called back on day 15 of embryo transfer to check serum beta hCG. If beta hCG shows a positive result, then primary outcome was positive. Every patient who is pregnancy positive had been called back after 15 days of positive result to see evidence of fetal heartbeat in early obstetrics scan. If fetal heartbeat is present, then secondary outcome was documented.Results: There was significant paired difference in median values of endometrial thickness between day 2 and day on FET and it shows a positive effect on pregnancy results among the hCG group.Conclusions: This study enabled us to determine the effect of intrauterine HCG in improving the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
