Published: July 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze scholarship usage history and growth records submitted by scholarship students every month and to present implications for systematic scholarship management.
Methods From 2018 to 2020, the monthly use of scholarships and monthly growth records for 514 dream ladder scholarship students were analyzed through text mining.
Results According to a comparative analysis by dividing the Key words of the growth record book into three stages in 2018, 2019, and 2020, “study” topped the list for the entire period. Compared to students' growth records from 2018 to 2019, “test” appeared as the top keyword for dream scholarship students in 2020. If you look at the words that frequently appear in the growth records of dream scholars living in the city center, there are “mid-term exams,” “final exams,” and “preparation.” This revealed that dream scholarship students who went to high school felt burdened by the test. Compared to students living in rural areas, students in urban areas recorded more details of their studies and resolutions to prepare for the exam in their growth record book.
Conclusions Dream scholarships should encourage students to concentrate on their studies and continue to discover and support them so that they can use them where they need to. In addition to the teacher in charge, monitoring personnel for dream scholarships should be dispatched separately to help students understand the contents of growth records, utilize scholarships, and monitor growth through the system. In addition, various programs are needed to strengthen students' awareness of goals and challenges, such as psychological and emotional support, counseling, and mentoring camps through mentors.

Published: July 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on Korean vowel listening education by identifying perceptual error patterns by gender, Korean proficiency, and initial consonant through listening experiments of Chinese Korean learners, and analyzing the association between simple and double vowels.
Methods To this end, a total of 30 subjects, 15 Chinese men and women in their 20s and 30s who speak the Chinese standard language, were selected as subjects, and listening experiments by gender, Korean proficiency, and initial consonant were conducted.
Results As a result of the study, first, it was found that the gender of Chinese learners did not affect the Korean vowel perception error. Second, /ㅗ/ and /ㅛ/ did not improve errors even in intermediate and advanced levels. And in the case of /ㅓ/ and /ㅕ/, the frequency of perceptual errors in intermediate and advanced levels was higher than that of beginners. Third, Chinese learners generally had the most simple vowel perception errors in initial consonants /ㅎ/, but in the case of simple and double vowels, there were no regularity of incorrectly perceiving certain vowels by replacing them with other vowels was found. Fourth, Chinese learners had many errors in perception of /ㅗ/, so there were many errors in perception of /ㅛ/ and since it is difficult to discriminate between the simple vowels /ㅗ/ and /ㅜ/, it is also difficult to discriminate between the double vowels /ㅛ/ and /ㅠ/.
Conclusions Chinese learners should be guided to listen to Korean vowels by referring to the types of vowel perceptual errors in this study.

Authors: Ulyukin I. M. , Rassokhin V. V. , Sechin A. A. , Orlova E. S.
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVES: To study the interrelationships of decision-making style as a reflection of individual differences in coping with uncertainty and emotional creativity as a factor of self-realization in young people who have had COVID-19.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 100 convalescents aged 18.2±2.25 years, including 50 men (Group M) and 50 women (Group G) (the age difference between the groups is not significant). The main transferred clinical forms of COVID-19 were the inapparent form — 42.0% (group M — 32 people, group G — 10 people), acute respiratory viral infection — 56.0% (group M — 17 people, group G — 39 people) according to the Russian versions of the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ) and the Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In both groups of examined individuals after suffering COVID-19 in all clinical forms of the disease, the «vigilance” strategy, considered as productive, is of the greatest importance in the decision- making process; unproductive strategies are not expressed, which is important for the subsequent medical and psychological support of convalescents. It is noted that the interaction between the factors of emotional creativity is expressed not only in an increase in creativity when high values coincide on two or more faces, but also in the fact that low values of one component can be compensated by high values of another.

CONCLUSION: The data obtained are important for conducting medical and psychological support for convalescents and for preventing the formation of professional burnout, and for quick adaptation to various life situations, and for motivation to prevent the occurrence of changes in functional states after suffering COVID-19.
Introduction of preventive nutrition based on local raw foodproducts for rotational employees in the Arctic region: a review
Authors: Degteva G. N. , Gudkov A. B. , Novikova I. I. , Shepeleva O. A. , Popova O. N.
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVES: To identify the nutritional characteristics of fly-in fly-out workers in the Arctic on the basis of literature sources analysis and the results of our own research, and to judgethe use of food products of local origins.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data extraction and synthesis from the scientific electronic library Elibrary.ru, RSCI and CyberLeninka, on the study of daily diets for rational employees working in the Arctic are analyzed.

RESULTS: The actual nutrition of rational employees during the shift in the Arctic does not fully meet the principles of full value, balance and variety. The quantitative side of the daily diet provides an energy balance, but the qualitative component of the food consumed requires correction. Thus, the need for proteins is provided mainly by meat dishes and lack of fish and seafood. The ratio between animal and vegetable fats is disturbed in favor of animal fats. A deficiency of calcium and vitamins, especially vitamin C, was found in daily ration in the spring season. Vegetables, fruit drinks, and fruits are hardly ever present in daily ration. To improve the quality of rational employees’ nutrition, it is necessary to use widely the products of the local raw material base, such as venison, fish and berries. Venison has an amino acid score close to an ideal protein, and reindeer fat increases the body’s resistance to the cold factor. Fish is an important source of complete protein, as well as a carrier of essential fatty acids of the omega 3, which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and vascular accidents. Northern berries contain minor bio-active substances that are involved in the regulation of metabolic processes, have antisclerotic, anti-inflammatory effects, as well as reduce the likelihood of thrombosis and strengthen capillaries.

CONCLUSION: The diet of shift workers in the Arctic, which does not fully meet all the principles of rational nutrition, should include products of the local raw material base, such as venison, fish and northern berries, which will improve the quality side of nutrition.

Adequateness of radiography in recognizing rib fractures in minor chest trauma: A comparison of the efficacy of sonography and radiography
Authors: YURDAKUL Emre , KAHVECİ Servet
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The most common injury resulting from blunt chest trauma is a rib fracture (25%) which is usually visible on radiographs. However, radiographs sometimes cannot show fractures, especially those in cartilage, unless they're densely calcified. The present study aimed to investigate the role of ultrasonography (US) in detecting rib fractures with minor blunt chest trauma and comparing its success with posteroanterior (PA) chest radiography.Methods: Patients with minor blunt chest trauma who had previously undergone US and radiography to assess suspected rib fractures, between June 2017– March 2019, were included. Radiography was obtained in the PA projection. US was performed by a radiologist who identified fractures by the disruption of the anterior margin of the rib on the US. The incidence and location of the fractures detected by US and radiography were then compared.Results: Totally 126 patients were included in the study. Ninety-eight patients (78%) were admitted to the hospital for the first time, and 28 patients (22%) for the second time (they previously admitted to the other hospitals and were evaluated as ‘normal’ by radiography). A total of 108 fractures ( in 79 patients (63%) ) were detected based on radiography and US examination, while 47 patients (37%) had no diagnostic evidence of fracture. All fractures were correctly detected by ultrasonography (100%), whereas radiography revealed 16 fractures (14.81%). A statistically significant difference in diagnostic capability was found between patients diagnosed by radiography and US (p=0.001).Conclusion: Ultrasonographic imaging is significantly superior to radiography in terms of accuracy in diagnosing rib fractures. Ultrasound was found to be significantly superior to radiography regardless of trauma site, localization, and location. Even though some rib areas are inaccessible on ultrasonographic evaluation, rapid evaluation of the most affected areas is most effective with ultrasonography when it comes to minor energy chest trauma. For this reason, the US increases the accuracy of diagnosis in minor chest traumas and rib fractures and decreases the repetitive referral of patients to health institutions by reducing the missed diagnosis.Keywords: Rib fractures, thoracic injuries, trauma, ultrasonography, radiography

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) form a group of inflammatory diseases occurring in genetically-susceptible people, which are characterized by chronic progression and whose cause is not fully known. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of IBD in our region and examine the clinical characteristics, sociodemographic features, and treatment results of IBD patients.Methods: Our study retrospectively investigates 211 patients over 18 years of age who were monitored for an IBD diagnosis between January 2, 2013, and December 31, 2019, by the gastroenterology department of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University’s Faculty of Medicine. The mean age, female-male ratio, smoking habits, disease severity, and localization sites were identified for included patients. Local and systemic complications of administered treatment types and reasons for surgical treatment were also assessed in patients.Results: Of the 211 patients with IBD diagnoses, 158 (74.9%) had Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and 53 (25.1%) had a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD). The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 43.97±16.22 years for UC patients and 42.30±14.73 years for CD cases. The involvement sites for UC were distal colitis for 58.4% of patients, left colon for 24.1% of patients, pancolitis for 16.5% of patients, and backwash ileitis for 7% of patients. According to the treatment results, 152 (72.0%) patients took 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) alone, 48 (22.8%) took thiopurine, and 20 (9.5%) took anti-TNF.Conclusion: Knowing the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of these diseases, which are frequently seen in our region, can support the early identification of probable complications that may occur and the selection of appropriate approaches during diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up monitoring of these diseases.Keywords: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, Severity of Illness Index, Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea

Introduction: Today, occupational diseases are growing more and more significant. This study aims to determine pre-hospital health workers' degree of awareness regarding the risk factors they can run into related to occupational diseases and the factors that affect them.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The study's sample population consists of 504 pre-hospital emergency medical services employees in Elazig province. The sample group has not been chosen, and the entire population is intended to be reached. The questionnaire consists of 25 questions. Face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire were conducted on a volunteer basis. The rate of participating in the survey was 84.6%. The collected data were entered into a statistical package program. For statistical analysis, Fisher's Exact and Chi-square tests were performed.Results: The participants' average age was 30,61±9,83. Women comprised 59.6% of the workforce, 55.4% of those employed at district health facilities, and 40.9% were paramedics. 90,2% of the participants voluntarily choose the occupation. 93% of workers believed that musculoskeletal illnesses were a danger associated with their line of work. The risk of exposure to violence was the top "stress-generating issue" for 69.6% of workers.Conclusion: The majority of respondents willingly chose the profession. Most frequently, ergonomic issues are considered to be risk factors for employment. Long night shift hours and a misfit night shift coworker are sources of high stress for doctors and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) respectively. It is suggested that health professionals receive more training on occupational diseases, that they become more sensitive to various biological and chemical risk factors, with the exception of common viruses like HBV transmission, and it is recommended to take further action against violence.Keywords: Occupational diseases, health workers, risk factors, emergency medical services, ergonomics

The influence of the past on the present and the need to revise and update it are concerns that transcend the professional field of historians. The Restoration, the Civil War, Franco’s regime, the Transition, etc. The revision of such complex periods always entails the risk of forgetting part of the story. The importance of having mature, plural reflections from different perspectives is a requirement when it comes to understanding what happened in one or more specific periods. Communication and forgotten history: a cross-sectional view from contemporaneity is the title of this book in which we find approaches signed by researchers from different areas and with sensitive differences in their interpretation of the period they are studying. Its chapters unearth that «forgotten» history that acquires a special dimension in the media. Journalism, public opinion, politics, identity, ideology, terms such as these come together in a work that aims to offer a pleasant reading, but in accordance with the criteria of rigor and professionalism that the mission of connecting yesterday with contemporary views implies.
Um céu Violeta para quem não tem mundo
Authors: Afonso Leandro
Published: July 2022

Este artigo pretende verificar como, em Violeta se fue a los cielos (2011, Andrés Wood), a preocupação com o efeito da cidadã Violeta é, pelo menos, tão importante quanto o legado musical dela – diferentemente do que costuma acontecer na maioria das cinebiografias musicais feitas na América Latina, mais focadas na construção das carreiras e das capacidades artísticas das personalidades. Em diálogo com ideias de Marisol De La Cadena, Ariella Azoulay e Saidiya Hartman, o artigo se propõe a identificar e analisar, em Violeta se fue a los cielos, os instantes em que o destaque está menos na cantora-fenômeno que nas palavras, agenciadas por imagens, de quem tenta resistir ao gavilán, nas palavras que ela usa para defender o “pobre (que) dice no”.
Análisis de la producción científica internacional sobre cuidados paliativos: estudio bibliométrico sobre la base de datos bibliográfica Scopus
Authors: Sanz-Lorente María
Published: July 2022

Objetivo: analizar la producción científica internacional sobre cuidados paliativos tomando como fuente de obtención de los datos la base de datos bibliográfica Scopus.
Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Los datos se obtuvieron de la base de datos Scopus, interrogando mediante el término “Palliative Care” en los campos de título, resumen y palabras clave. El periodo estudiado fue desde el inicio de la indización en esta base de datos hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2021.
Resultados: Evolución de la producción científica creciente (R2 = 0,75). El número de originales fue de 55376 (69,73%), siendo la frecuencia y porcentaje de los artículos citables 66781 (84,09%). La obsolescencia fue de 37 ± 2,52 años con Índice de Price del 6,67%. El idioma de publicación predominante fue el inglés, en 66539 (83,79%) referencias y el país más productor Estados Unidos de América 22482 (28,31%) documentos.
Conclusiones: Los indicadores métricos obtenidos estuvieron en línea con otras áreas de conocimiento relacionadas con las ciencias de la salud. Si bien, los resultados sobre obsolescencia fueron superiores a lo esperado. La producción científica presentó un adecuado incremento lineal sin alcanzar el modelo exponencial. El predominio del idioma inglés y de las publicaciones mainstream confirman la tendencia a publicar en las revistas con mayores indicadores de impacto.
Evaluación nutricional en mayores
Authors: Wanden-Berghe Carmina
Published: July 2022

Una buena alimentación/nutrición es necesaria para mantener el buen funcionamiento del cuerpo, prevenir las enfermedades y cuando estas aparecen poder superarlas y recuperarse. Esta afirmación es una realidad en cualquier etapa de la vida, pero mucho más cuando el individuo empieza a ser vulnerable, como sucede en el envejecimiento.
Realizar un cribado nutricional va a permitir detectar a las personas que presenten riesgo de malnutrición y mediante la valoración nutricional completa, identificar las alteraciones de su estado nutricional.
A population-based spatio-temporal analysis of the early COVID-19 dynamic in Serbia
Authors: Lovic-Obradovic Suzana , Rabiei-Dastjerdi Hamidreza , Matovic Stefana
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic escalated in almost all parts of the world over a very
short period of time. The speed of the spread was determined by the degree
of mobility of the population, while the risk of severe illness or death
depended on the population?s demographic characteristics, population health
status, and the capacity of the health system to treat patients. This paper
aims to assess spatio-temporal patterns of patients with COVID-19 in Serbia
at the early stage and whether these patterns are linked to valid public
health measures that were enforced during this period. The study adopted the
local Moran?s index to identify the spatial grouping of the number of
infected at a municipality level and joinpoint regression analysis to
identify whether and when statistically significant changes occurred to the
number of infected by gender and age groups, and to the number of deaths in
the entire population. The results show the polarisation of the spatial
grouping of the number of infected. Considering the change in the trend in
the number of infected between genders, no significant difference was
noticeable. When the age-gender categories of infected were examined, the
differences became more significant. In addition, changes in the trend were
associated with the tightening or loosening of public health measures.
