Published: March 2022

Aim: To determine the audiometric findings, prevalence of age related hearing loss and association of hearing loss with gender in patients of 60 years and above. Setting and duration of study: This study was conducted in the Department of ENT at Shifa Foundation Community Health Centre (SFCHC), Shifa International hospital, Islamabad, over a period of 5 years from September 2014 to September 2019. Methods: A total of 149 patients were included in the study. All the patients were subjected to audiometry after taking informed written consent. Information regarding the past medical history of all participants regarding ear and hearing disorders and risk factors was taken and recorded. All this information along with demographic information was recorded. Results: The mean age of the participants was 70.72 ± 7.09 years. Most 46 (30.9%) of the patients were between 60 to 65 years old. The proportion of male participants 76 (51%) was slightly higher. In our study sample, 142 (95.3%) of the participants had high-frequency hearing loss, and 129 (86.6%) participants had low-frequency hearing loss. Mostly 62 (41.6%) participants had sloping curve. Most 125 (83.9%) participants were diagnosed with both types of hearing loss. Among male patients flat curve showed a significant (P-value < 0.05) relationship with age and in female patients, flat curve and neither flat curve nor sloping curve showed significant (P-value < 0.05) association with different age brackets. Conclusion: High-frequency hearing loss was the most common type of hearing loss among older patients. Majority of the patients were diagnosed with both types of hearing loss. High-frequency hearing loss was found to be significantly associated with different age brackets. Keywords: Hearing loss, Audiometric findings, High Frequency Hearing Loss,

Published: March 2022

Aim: To determine the prevalence of gestational diabetes in obstetric patients with the help of ultrasonography and diagnostic biomarkers such as increased amniotic fluid and macrosomia. Methods: In 110 women who failed the glucose tolerance test, longitudinal ultrasound measurements of foetal growth were taken during the first, second and third trimesters with the informed consent of every pregnant women. 524 ultrasound examinations were performed in total, and uncomplicated pregnancies were included as controls for the comparison of our results. Head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL) and head circumference to abdominal circumference ratio (HC/AC) was evaluated at 17th and 37th weeks of gestation while amniotic fluid was measured and recorded at 13th, 27th and 37th weeks of gestation respectively. Results: The mean HbA1c (%) of the pregnant women in 1st semester recorded was 5.2±0.27SD which increased to 5.31±0.24SD in 2nd trimester and later changed to 5.54±0.17SD in 3rd semester. The measured amniotic fluid in ultrasound was 23.23cm±3.18 SD at 13th weeks of gestation, 15.97cm±2.62SD at 27th weeks and 11.95cm±1.99SD at 37th week. The mean abdominal circumference at 37th week was 347.01mm±7.28SD, mean head circumference was 1477.50mm±2.88SD, AC/HC ratio at 37th week estimated 0.89±0.08SD and femur length was 73.44mm±2.28SD respectively. Conclusion: The finding suggests that increased amniotic fluid and macrosomia are important biomarkers of gestational diabetes and can be assessed through ultrasonography.

Published: March 2022

Background: Nicotine, a naturally occurring alkaloid is the predominant chemical among the constituents in cigarette smoke. Consumption forms include smoke (cigarettes, pipes and cigars) and smokeless tobacco (chewable tobacco). Aim: To determine the effect of ghrelin in nicotine induced liver toxicity in BALB/c mice. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Methodology: Present study enrolled 90 male BALB/c mice Group I (control group) was given standardized laboratory diet and intraperitoneal injection (i.p) of normal saline. Group II was given standardized laboratory diet and nicotine at a dose of 2.5mg/ kg body weight (i.p), while Group III was given standardized laboratory diet plus nicotine a dose of 2.5mg/ kg body weight (i.p) along with ghrelin at a dose of 10µg/kg on alternate days for 4 weeks. On 30th day sampling was done for hepatic tissue oxidative stress enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase and catalase levels), and histology of liver tissue for assessment of hepatic tissue damage and recovery. Results: Nicotine group showed evident hepatic damage with significant increase in liver oxidative stress markers. On histological examination, liver showed mild to moderate grade necro-inflammation. Administration of ghrelin partially restored the oxidative stress markers and inflammatory histological changes due to nicotine induced toxicity. Conclusion: We concluded that Ghrelin appears to be hepatoprotective due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Keywords: Nicotine, Ghrelin, Oxidative Stress, Antioxidant Enzymes and Necro-Inflammation

La interdependencia entre la democracia digital y la crisis de la democracia representativa en América Latina
Authors: Aguirre Gallegos Vanessa Fiorella
Published: March 2022

Durante la última década hemos visto el debilitamiento de la democracia en América Latina. Las transiciones democráticas de la región y las iniciativas promovidas tanto por los gobiernos como por la sociedad civil hicieron que se vayan implementando diferentes mecanismos que acercaban a estos dos actores, permitiendo a los ciudadanos participar activamente en la vida pública en toda América Latina. Las protestas ocurridas en 2019 y este año evidenciaron que estos mecanismos no eran suficientes y que la relación entre ambos actores debía ser repensada. Este artículo presenta como nueva variable a considerar las nuevas herramientas tecnológicas y digitales, desarrollando y defendiendo la idea de complementariedad no solo entre representante y representado, sino entre las herramientas señaladas y el proceso de desconsolidación democrática que vive la región. Así, dependiendo de las acciones que se adopten, podrían servir como promotor o amenazador de la democracia.

Movimientos golpistas, poder político y la subordinación militar en el Perú: un intento de golpe de Estado en 1909
Authors: Taype Castillo Jaime
Published: March 2022

Los movimientos de carácter insurreccional o golpistas organizados en contra de un gobierno legítimamente establecido no han sido protagonizados exclusivamente por los militares durante el siglo XX en el Perú. Una prueba de ello fue el asalto efectuado por un grupo de civiles contra el Palacio de Gobierno, quienes lograron ingresar y sacar por la fuerza al entonces presidente de la República Augusto B. Leguía el 29 de mayo de 1909. A diferencia de los golpes de Estado, aquella vez en la sede de Gobierno ocurrió una suerte de golpe atípico, ya que no eran militares los que pretendían deponer al presidente, sino un grupo de pierolistas con antecedentes insurreccionales. Lejos de aquellos que debían brindarle seguridad por la investidura que ostentaba, por el contrario, esa tarde, Leguía recorrió las calles siendo maltratado y presionado por sus captores para que firmara la renuncia a la presidencia. Este peculiar acontecimiento culminó con el rescate del mandatario a cargo de un grupo de militares liderados por un joven oficial, quienes luego, acompañados por los demás jefes militares, repusieron al presidente Leguía en Palacio de Gobierno.

Authors: Довгаль Виталий Анатольевич
Published: March 2022

Глубокое обучение успешно применяется для решения различных сложных задач, начиная от анализа больших данных и заканчивая компьютерным зрением и предоставлением информации для лиц, принимающих решения. Однако достижения в области глубокого обучения могут также использоваться для создания программного обеспечения, создающего угрозы конфиденциальности и безопасности. Примером такого недавно появившегося приложения, основанного на глубоком обучении, является deepfake. Реализованные в приложении алгоритмы могут создавать поддельные изображения и видео, которые практически невозможно отличить от подлинных. В связи с этим разработка технологий, которые могут автоматически обнаруживать и оценивать целостность цифровых визуальных носителей, является актуальной. В статье представлен обзор алгоритмов, используемых для создания поддельных изображений, синтезированных с помощью искусственного интеллекта, и, что более важно, методов для обнаружения указанных изображений, предложенных в актуальной литературе. Рассмотрены обширные дискуссии о проблемах, тенденциях исследований и направлениях, связанных с технологиями deepfake. На основе анализа предыстории и современных подходов к обнаружению подделок в статье содержится обзор методов, используемых для создания поддельных изображений. Это может способствовать разработке новых и более надежных средств для борьбы с ними.

Deep learning is successfully used to solve various complex tasks, ranging from big data analysis to computer vision and providing information for decision makers. However, advances in deep learning can also be used to create software that poses threats to privacy and security. An example of such a recently appeared application based on deep learning is deepfake. The algorithms implemented in the application can create fake images and videos that are almost impossible to distinguish from genuine ones. In this regard, the development of technologies that can automatically detect and evaluate the integrity of digital visual media is relevant. The article provides an overview of the algorithms used to create fake images synthesized using artificial intelligence, and, more importantly, the methods proposed in the literature for detecting these images to date. We present extensive discussions on issues, research trends and trends related to deepfake technologies. Based on the analysis of the background and modern approaches to detecting fakes, the article provides an overview of the methods used to create fake images, which contributes to the development of new and more reliable means to combat them.

Authors: Santos Sidney Eduardo Maciel dos Santos , Santos Joao Alberto Neves dos Santos , Paschoal da Silva Walber
Published: March 2022

Existem atualmente, no Brasil, 177 unidades offshore de produção de petróleo e gás natural registradas. Desse total, 76 unidades encontram-se fora de operação, e podem ser realocadas, reutilizadas ou descomissionadas. Mas, com o amadurecimento dos campos e o fim da vida útil de diversas unidades, é esperado que uma grande quantidade seja descomissionada nos próximos anos, indicando um panorama de demanda crescente por serviços especializados. Nesse cenário, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar as alternativas de descomissionamento de unidades de produção offshore existentes no Brasil, e avaliar os impactos positivos e negativos gerados, determinantes para a destinação adequada dessas unidades. A metodologia proposta é formada por cinco etapas: Revisão bibliográfica sobre conceitos, legislação e alternativas para o descomissionamento das unidades de produção offshore no Brasil e no mundo; Identificação das unidades offshore de produção em processo de descomissionamento, ou sujeitas ao descomissionamento nos próximos anos, no Brasil; Levantamento dos fatores que levaram as unidades analisadas ao processo de descomissionamento; Identificação dos desafios e oportunidades no processo de descomissionamento e reciclagem das unidades analisadas; Apresentação de alternativas ao descomissionamento de unidades de produção offshore no Brasil. Os resultados indicaram a urgência, por parte dos órgãos governamentais e dos setores envolvidos nesse processo, de medidas capazes de fomentar o aperfeiçoamento legal e técnico dessa indústria, a tempo de não se perderem as oportunidades que estão sendo geradas e que poderão se estabelecer como um novo nicho para a indústria naval brasileira.

This study wants to get more in-depth information from evidence from field studies about the relevance of public knowledge to the public on their health status. We have done the proof by examining some applications that discuss the issue of the two variables above, namely the correlation or application between the experience and education of the community and their health status. We got the data from publications both at home and abroad. We scrutinized the data under a phenomenological approach to get much information and examine it to get answers to appropriate and relevant understanding to answer the problems and hypotheses of this study. Our data search is done electronically with the help of the Google Search engine by entering keywords, and then the search occurs. In other words, this situation relies entirely on secondary data in the form of applications released between 2010 and 2020, relatively new and updated data. In a series of reports, we follow several study models written in qualitative form. Data so that we can say that there is a profound correlation between public health and public behavior and education. Thus this finding becomes an essential input in improving the quality of future studies.

In the last few years, there has been a major advancement in the orthodontic treatment of adult patients. Adult orthodontics differs from children's orthodontics in that there is virtually no more growth in adults and that the tooth-supporting structures, the periodontium, have changed.Because orthodontic treatment is done through the periodontium, having a healthy tooth supporting system is a must. At the same time, when the tooth moves under the influence of orthodontic treatment, the periodontium undergoes a variety of modifications. This review article discusses relationship between periodontal tissue and orthodontic treatment.
Parenting as an Antecedent to Ethical Leadership: A Review of Literature
Authors:   Pan Africa Christian University, Maina Joseph Kimani
Published: March 2022

The need for ethics and ethical leadership cannot be overemphasized in modern-day society. Individuals, organizations, communities, and nations at large have come to the realization that their long-term sustainability and progress are secure only when founded on ethical practices. In spite of the consensus regarding the need for ethical leadership, past studies have mainly focused on approaches to developing ethical leaders while these leaders are already in the positions of influence, disregarding that many factors could have come into play before a leader starts wielding influence that may result in their being ethical or unethical. This paper constitutes a review of the extant conceptual, theoretical and empirical literature and raises a number of issues that are a case for a new conceptual model related to the connection between parenting and ethical leadership. The new model advances that parenting is a major antecedent to ethical leadership. Further, the paper highlights that the effect of parenting on ethical leadership is through the mediating effects of morality development. In addition, environmental factors such as hereditary considerations, culture, peer influence, and education moderate the relationship between parenting and ethical leadership. Further, a number of the dimensions within environmental factors could also trace their origin to parenting as a construct in a self-repeating and cyclical fashion. Keywords: Parenting, Morality, Moral development, Ethics, Ethical Leadership

Cet article analyse le rôle du crédit et de l’éducation dans les différences de productivité du maïs entre femmes et hommes au Burkina Faso. La décomposition d’Oaxaca et Blinder a été utilisée sur un échantillon de 2421 ménages, producteurs de maïs. Les résultats montrent que l’accès des femmes au crédit agricole réduit les différences de productivité d’environ 8,44%. Par ailleurs, la faible dotation en équipements agricoles ainsi que la faible participation des femmes aux organisations paysannes les privent d’énormes opportunités qui augmenteraient leur productivité. Le lien entre l’éducation et les écarts de productivité agricole entre les sexes n’a cependant pas été établi et nous l’avons expliqué par une possible inadéquation entre les programmes éducatifs formels et les réalités des zones rurales. Les résultats suggèrent de renforcer les politiques de distribution du crédit avec des taux d’intérêt préférentiels, et la mise en place d’un dispositif de suivi des fonds.

Cette étude vise à analyser les dispositions à acheter et le consentement à payer le riz local par les femmes au Burkina Faso. Les préférences des consommatrices et leurs consentements à payer le riz local de Bagré ont été révélés à partir des enchères expérimentales conduites auprès de 120 femmes de la ville de Ouagadougou. L’étude a montré que 55% des participantes aux enchères expérimentales préfèrent le riz local au riz importé. Environ 74% des consommatrices consentement à payer une prime supplémentaire moyenne de 100 FCFA/kg par rapport au riz importé (Thaïlandais, 5% de brisures) pour acquérir le riz étuvé de Bagré. Elles sont 75% à consentir à payer un supplément moyen de 87 FCFA par kg pour avoir le riz non étuvé de qualité de Bagré. L’étude conclut qu’il existe une demande potentielle urbaine pour le riz local de qualité. Les transformateurs devraient investir dans la qualité de riz en faisant en sorte que les coûts d’investissement additionnels soient inférieurs aux primes exprimées par les consommatrices.
Privacy in Practice: Library Public Services and the Intersection of Personal Ideals
Authors: Taillac Claudine
Published: March 2022

Anonymity. Confidentiality. Privacy. These similar, yet distinct, concepts require nuance in a setting that is both public and highly personal. Your public library is just that: yours but also public. How do these concepts and the way individuals value them personally become reconciled within the library, a public institution that both safeguards and shares information? How do the privacy rights of adults and children, guardians and intimate partners, intersect and diverge at the library?
Don’t Deputize Intolerance: Keeping Your Security Policies Safe from Your Patrons
Authors: Nielsen Buzzy , Scheppke Jane F.
Published: March 2022

To live in rural Oregon is to live in tension. Crook County exemplifies the tensions of living in rural Oregon in many ways, and not just because it is located dead center in the middle of the state. It also encapsulates the contradiction of some residents trying to keep a hold on a past they perceive as idyllic, while others live with the opportunities and harsh realities of the present. Crook County sees this contradiction reflected in its reliance on industries both historic and modern: ranching, wood products, and auto tires on the one hand, and data centers, health care, and hemp on the other. This tension can boil over into conflict, even when it comes to something as supposedly simple as a change in library policy.
Like in many other communities suffering identity crises, some people in Crook County, and its only incorporated town of Prineville, ran afoul of the rising use of opioids (Chaney, 2019). Those of us at the public library saw the effects firsthand. In 2018 and 2019, the library faced a confluence of opioid-adjacent situations. These incidents presented a serious security dilemma for the library where we worked as director and assistant director: How do we ensure safety for the most vulnerable patrons, including those experiencing adverse effects from drugs, while generally keeping the library welcoming for everyone? This dilemma led us to two security-related decisions: to forbid sleeping in the library and to install security cameras. Both decisions ultimately demonstrated how choices made, ostensibly, to protect patrons' physical safety, or to help some people feel more "secure," can adversely impact safety for patrons who are already marginalized.
The Distance Between Our Values and Actions: We Can’t Be Passive When it Comes to Privacy
Authors: Farkas Meredith
Published: March 2022

In September 2021, the WOC+Lib collective published a searing "Statement Against White Appropriation of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color's Labor (BIPOC)," decrying the exploitation and abuse of BIPOC library workers. One of the many hypocrisies the group took issue with was:

the proliferation of anti-racism statements put out by information institutions and organizations in 2020 without also taking on actions addressing the lack of Black, Indigenous, or People of Color workers or how the BIPOC within those very libraries and organizations have been ostracised and disrespected for years prior to 2020, while allowing the mistreatment to continue. (WOC+Lib, 2021)

In the midst of the international uprisings for racial justice following the murder of George Floyd, many libraries put out antiracist statements affirming their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Yet in a recent survey of library directors, only 31 percent of academic library directors agreed that their “library has well-developed equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility strategies for employees" (Frederick and Wolff-Eisenberg, 2021, p. 10). The lack of progress made in these areas suggests that while diversity may be a library value, dismantling systems of oppression to improve DEI is not a top priority at most institutions.

En el desarrollo, por motivos de pandemia se acudió a una muestra de 30 estudiantes de bachillerato de una institución educativa oficial de Duitama. Con base en la una investigación de tipo anidada, enfoque descriptivo, diseño comparativo y método deductivo, se aplicó una encuesta diagnóstica con los temas de: fundamentos legales de la normativa escolar, democracia escolar, deberes y derechos de los estudiantes y debido proceso, para hacer una medición inicial del nivel de apropiación de la normativa escolar consagrada en el manual de convivencia, luego se implementó un programa multimedia con estudio de casos, para socializar la normativa y finalmente se hizo la puesta en común de la herramienta virtual didáctica quedando la tarea de medir el cambio en la apropiación de la normativa escolar. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes participantes se sienten atraídos por este tipo de tecnologías y supera su interés frente a los métodos tradicionales de difusión y estudio de las normas de convivencia. También se pudo determinar que hay factores de tipo económico, cultural y social que afectan la convivencia, aunados al enfoque de carácter instructivo, restrictivo y sancionatorio que rige tradicionalmente la convivencia escolar.
Mulher-Maravilha (2017): heroísmo, ficção histórica e relações de gênero
Authors: Carneiro Maristela , Gonçalves Vilson André Moreira
Published: March 2022

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de examinar as possibilidades do uso do blockbuster histórico como recurso didático, não como uma prática meramente ilustrativa ou acessória para o reforço de um discurso histórico incontestável e inflexível, mas para instigar a apreciação crítica do cinema estadunidense, analisando como este se apropria da história para formular e dispersar visões de mundo por meio de suas plataformas de entretenimento. O caso exemplar empregado aqui é o de Mulher-Maravilha, uma produção de 2017, baseada nos quadrinhos da personagem homônima, cuja trama se passa na Primeira Guerra Mundial. O filme em questão contempla principalmente os temas do heroísmo, da guerra e das relações de gênero, tópicos recorrentes na cultura contemporânea e, portanto, pertinentes para o debate em sala. A fim de investigar a obra em questão, os principais referenciais para este trabalho são Matos (2005), Scott (1995), Napolitano (2011), Rosenstone (2015) e Stubbs (2013).

Er is weinig bekend over het verloop van het Angelman syndroom bij volwassenen. Om de zorg voor volwassen patiënten te verbeteren is in 2016 de 18+ Angelman polikliniek opgericht binnen het ENCORE expertisecentrum Erasmus MC, waar wij naast de patiëntenzorg ook wetenschappelijk onderzoek verrichten. Hier werden wij geconfronteerd met een voor ons onbekend fenomeen: volwassenen met het Angelman syndroom gepaard gaand met niet-epileptische myoclonieën. In deze bijdrage onze bevindingen ten aanzien van deze populatie.

Effectiveness of learning intramuscular injection techniques with aid of an interactive APP
Authors: Chu-Ling Chang
Published: March 2022

In this study, an interactive application (app) for learning intramuscular injection is developed through an interdisciplinary collaboration, and its effectiveness in learning is explored. APP is application software. The research object is a second-year student of the nursing department of a university of science and technology. The study results indicated that only 1 out of 57 students failed to obtain a score of 60 on a technical test, whereas the other students all scored 60 or higher (a score of 60 or higher is regarded as the acceptable range). For the self-assessment of learning effectiveness, the three items with the highest average scores were “It helps students to improve their self-confidence,” “It helps the integration with practical operations,” and “It enhances my after-school learning and meets my learning needs.” Furthermore, the students indicated that the interactive app helped them clarify technical procedures and precautions, deepen their knowledge, and clarify clinical concepts. Moreover, more planning and communication is required for the teaching of nursing techniques and cross-disciplinary integration of technologies. This study aims to provide a reference for nursing educators and integrate technology applications in nursing teaching to enhance the learning effectiveness of students in relation to nursing techniques.
Acquisition of Afrin Bridge Basin Characteristics and Curve Number Methodology via GIS
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Kübra , DİŞ Muhammet Ömer
Published: March 2022

By using remote sensing data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide convenience in determining basin morphology and watershed planning studies. For this aim, the applicability of the Arc-GIS software in the Afrin Bridge Basin by processing the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data using the hydrological analysis tools and watershed parameters (i.e. boundary, variation of elevation, drainage area, flow network, and slope) were investigated. Additionally, soil and Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) maps were attained using the satellite data from ORNL-DAAC and CORINE with 250-m and 100-m spatial resolution, respectively. By combining these maps and basin characteristics, the Curve Number (CN) values, required parameters for the SCS-CN method used in the rainfall-driven runoff estimations, are mapped over the region. While acquisition of soil, LULC, CN maps and the stream morphology enables the basin to be evaluated together with climatological data, flood risks and flow hydrographs of the region can be determined.
