Authors: Didiharyono Didiharyono , Syukri Muhammad , Fisu Amiruddin Akbar , Apriyanto Apriyanto
Published: January 2024

The focus of this study is to model the poverty rate using a statistical approach and then carry out a spatial mapping of the poverty rate in regencies and cities in South Sulawesi Province. This study is important to research so that it becomes a reference for the government in formulating policy analysis on poverty alleviation and its sustainability. The method used is the spatial regression model with cross-sectional data, using R software as a tool for analyzing research data. The findings show that the poverty levels in the regencies and cities of South Sulawesi province are randomly distributed and have a dispersed pattern. The significance of the response variable under analysis has an impact on this. In addition, the best model was obtained, namely the Spatial Error Model (SEM) model with the smallest p-value and a confidence level of 86%. The results of the hot-spot and cold-spot analysis show that the concentration of poverty levels is still focused on the southern region in the hot-spot area (red color), namely Bantaeng Regency, Jeneponto Regency, Takalar Regency, Gowa Regency, Makassar City, Maros Regency, Sinjai Regency, and Barru Regency. The implications for the community in the hot-spot category area are that special attention is needed from the government and stakeholders to be directly involved in improving the poverty level that occurs in the community through sustainable poverty alleviation programs.

Background: Disorders of consciousness, including the vegetative state (VS) and the minimally conscious state (MCS) following brain damage and various complications for the patient, also have economic and social consequences. However, there is still no definitive or effective treatment for this condition. However, there is still no definitive or effective treatment for this condition. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of zolpidem in improving consciousness in patients with acute brain injury.
Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was performed from 2020 to 2021 after obtaining the necessary permissions from Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Eighty patients with acute brain injury who met the study inclusion criteria were recruited and randomized into zolpidem and placebo groups. In the zolpidem group, 10 mg zolpidem tablets were gavage twice daily. In the placebo group, a placebo tablet with the same appearance as zolpidem was gavage twice daily for 14 days. The consciousness level of patients was measured daily until the outcome (ICU discharge or expiration) was established. Eventually, a comparative data analysis was conducted to determine zolpidem's efficacy in enhancing consciousness, reducing mechanical ventilation duration, and improving patient outcomes.
Results: The mean GCS score in the zolpidem group was 6.1±2.4 on admission and 11.6±3.8 at the end of the study, compared to 5.9±1.7 on admission and 11.3±2.8 at the end of the study, for the placebo group (p=0.154 and p=0.211, respectively). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 24.41±9.14 days in the zolpidem group and 23.16±10.72 days in the placebo group (P=0.529). Twenty-eight patients in the zolpidem group were discharged from ICU, and 12 expired. For the placebo group, 26 patients were discharged from ICU, while 14 were expired (p=0.87). No statistically significant difference was found in any of the measured variables between the two groups.
Conclusion: The results have shown that zolpidem administration had no statistically significant effect on improving the level of consciousness and reducing mechanical ventilation duration and clinical outcomes in acute brain injury patients.

Authors: Kalita Pranab , Prasad Prishel Mariam , Talukdar Biswajit , Saikia Priyam
Published: January 2024

Background: Both ketamine and dexmedetomidine have proven effective in relieving the pain resulting from propofol injection. However, studies comparing them directly are limited. The primary outcome was to compare the incidence of propofol injection pain after dexmedetomidine pretreatment with ketamine pretreatment. Secondary outcome was to study the changes of haemodynamic parameters that arise after the administration of the pretreatment drug till anaesthesia was induced with propofol.
Methods: In this randomized, triple blinded, parallel arm single centre study, we compared pre-treatment with dexmedetomidine 0.5mcg/kg (Group A) and ketamine 0.5mg/kg (Group B). Our primary objective was to compare the incidence of propofol injection pain. The McCririck and Hunter scale was used to evaluate the pain. Secondarily, we compared the changes of haemodynamic parameters that arose after the administration of the pre-treatment drug till induction of anaesthesia with propofol.
Results: Among 168 patients evaluated for eligibility, 140 were included for final analysis with 70 patients in each group. The incidence of propofol injection pain in Group A was 74.3% (52/70) and that in Group B was 42.9% (30/70) (p value <0.001). No pain was reported by 25.7% (18/70) and 57.1% (40/70) patients in Group A and B respectively. Mild and moderate to severe pain was experienced by 58.6% and 15.7% patients in Group A, where as it was 40% and 2.9% patients in Group B respectively.
Conclusion: Ketamine leads to a greater reduction in both the frequency and intensity of pain resulting from propofol injection when compared to dexmedetomidine.

Authors: Kasiraman Gayathri , Gousebasha Yasmeen Imtiaz , Sridaran Hariharan
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: Postural stability is monitored by a circuitous system, particularly visual perception, vestibular apparatus, and somatosensory organs. The ability to maintain balance is significantly compromised in children with visual impairment and has higher risks of falls than the normal sighted children. Children with visual disability reported delayed motor dexterity such as eye-hand coordination, gross and fine motor control involving struggle in gait procurement and postural control. Vestibular rehabilitation is  the relevant therapy to restitute for maintaining postural control in the absence of visual information. This study aimed to find the effect of vestibular rehabilitation on postural stability in children with visual impairment.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was done in pre and post-test type design on 30 boys in the age group of 7-16 years’ children with visual impairment. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy was used as the exercise protocol to improve functional balance and reduction of falls in children with visual impairment for six weeks.
Results: Statistical analysis was done between pre-test and post-test readings with SPSS 20 and there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of total score and individual scores of Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) after the intervention, since (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Vestibular rehabilitation therapy improved the capability of postural controlling and reduces the risk of falls to an extent in children with visual impairment.
Keywords: Visual impairment; postural stability; vestibular rehabilitation; pediatric balance scale; high risk of falls

Authors: Pahlavan Yali Kamal , Sadeghijam Maryam , Jarollahi Farnoush , Saneii Seyed Hassan
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is recommended by specialists  for curing the patients more than other conventional treatments. In tinnitus management, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the only EBP-based method. Different factors, such as training, can affect the therapists’ attitudes towards the use of these treatments. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a training program in CBT on Iranian audiologists’ attitudes towards using CBT for tinnitus management.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 88 audiologists (including 65 females) with a mean age of 33±9.54 years, who were randomly divided into two groups of intervention (receiving CBT training) and control (no training). The data were collected by a researcher-made demographic/clinical questionnaire and the Persian version of the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale-35 (EBPAS-P35), which was completed before and after training.
Results: Comparison of the total score of EBPAS-P35 showed a significant difference in the intervention groups before and after training (p<0.001). In addition, all EBPAS-P35 subscales scores were significantly different before and after training in the intervention group (p<0.001). A positive significant correlation was observed between the total score of the EBPAS-P35 and two factors of age (r=0.38, p=0.009) and clinical experience (r=0.34, p=0.009).
Conclusion: Training in CBT can improve the attitude of audiologists in Iran towards using CBT for tinnitus management in patients. The age and clinical experience can affect the attitude of audiologists toward using CBT.

Authors: Eğilmez Oğuz Kadir , Yılmaz Mahmut Sinan , Elden Sena Genç , Koçoğlu Mehmet , Kara Ahmet , Güven Mehmet
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: Several laboratory tools are used to evaluate balance disorders but, there is still no screening test to determine the site and the severity of the lesion. The aim was to investigate whether video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) can be used as a screening test in patients with chronic or recurrent vertigo and dizziness.
Methods: The files of 965 patients who were followed up  in  our  vertigo outpatient clinic were reviewed retrospectively. Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gains and saccadic movements of the right and left lateral canals in the vHIT test, and Canal Paresis (CP) in the Caloric Testing (CT) were noted.
Results: A total of 325 patients were included in our study. In CT results, the group that CP was most frequently detected was Menière’s Disease (MD) group (71 patients (74.7%). While vHIT results were found to be pathological in the vast majority of patients in the Vestibular Neuritis (VN) group (72.7%), the results were found to be normal at the highest rate in the vestibular migraine group (77.9%). Correlation analysis showed a significant but weak correlation between the degree of CP in the CT and the VOR gains of the lateral canals in vHIT in all groups.
Conclusion: Although it has high sensitivity in cases with VN and vestibulopathy, we think that vHIT cannot be used as a screening tool in patients with vertigo, especially for chronic cases, since its sensitivity rate differs in the long term according to the cause of the disease.

Authors: Venkateswaran Nisha Kavassery , Teja Govindaraju , Thomas Nikki Mary , Thakur Nishant , Valsa Parvathy , Rajasekaran Sujeeth Palaniandi , Prabhu Prashanth
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS II) is a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders, with seven sub-types. MPS II also known as Hunter’s syndrome is the only subtype that is affected by X-linked inheritance, while the others are of autosomal inheritance.
The Case: The study aimed to discuss the impact of Hunter syndrome, its pathophysiology, assessment diagnosis, audiological profiling, rehabilitation, and prognostic factors in a child diagnosed with MPS II at the age of 4 years. The auditory symptoms begin around at the age of 2–4 years, as the harmful molecule builds up in the middle ear bone sizes resulting in joint stiffness, and conductive hearing loss gradually progressing into mixed hearing loss with varying degree. Each audiological test finding was linked to the pathophysiology of MPS II, with the discussion emphasising suitable rehabilitative options and importance of multidisciplinary management of hunter syndrome.
Conclusion: The atypical manifestations of MPS II with fluctuating hearing loss is suggestive of the need for early identification, adequate profiling, appropriate rehabilitative measures and role of allied professionals in management of the disorder.

Authors: Sardehaei Solmaz Abdollahzadeh , Khoei Effat Merghati , Niusha Beheshteh , Rezaei Zahed
Published: January 2024

Background: There is an increasing need for sexual well-being and health promotion strategies that effectively engage men. Researchers have evaluated the efficacy of sexual and reproductive health-related and marital enhancement interventions in maledominated societies. However, few have focused on culturally appropriate and genderspecific program effects.
Objective: This review aims to evaluate evidence of existing interventions aimed at enriching marital relationships and sexual well-being in adult men.
Materials and Methods: This scoping review was conducted by searching various databases (CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, SID, and Noormags), and other available resources in both English and Persian languages. We located all publications up to January 2023 with no time restriction. Inclusion criteria were studies targeting men in the enrichment of marital and sexual relationships, which focus on marital/sexual enrichment, Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) program, passionate relationship, or sexual satisfaction as the main outcomes. PRISMA guidelines were utilized in this review.
Results: Of records 34,405 retrieved by searching, after removing duplicate articles, 8 articles were included based on the inclusion criteria. SRH program was the main focus of 6 articles. Marital and sexual enhancement were common areas of focus in 2 studies. Research methods included 2 semi-experimental, 3 clinical trials, 1 systematic review, 1 content analysis, and a mixed method. According to the assessment result, 4 articles were moderate and 4 were of high quality.
Conclusion: Our findings reveal that a small number of interventions specifically offering SRH or marital and sexual enhancement programs to men should be conducted. As the majority were heterosexual couples, we recommend male-focused programs recognizing men’s sexuality.

A Review of Primary Immuno-deficiency Disorders Predisposing to Cancer
Authors: Khalili Abbas
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Primary immunodeficiencies are relatively rare and heterogeneous disorders in which one or more component of immune system have genetic defect. The majority of the patients suffer from frequent infections with different microorganisms according to the type of disorder they have. Some people with primary immunodeficiency are susceptible to malignant diseases. The type of malignancy depends on the type of primary immunodeficiency, age of the patient and the type of virus infection. Many advances have been made in understanding of molecular mechanisms in humeral and cellular immune defects. Furthermore، our knowledge has been increased about the incidence of infections and tumors in primary immunodeficiency and this helps us in early diagnosis of disorders and their complications. Several evidences support the theory that the immune system plays a major role in the occurrence of many malignant diseases. Articles have been searched on Google Scholar، PubMed، Web of Science، and Scopus databases. In this review، the latest and most reliable articles related to the subject that had been published in English language were used.
Conclusion: Since the patients with primary immunodeficiency are prone to multiple infections, various malignancies can be seen in these people. The recurrence of some malignancies in families, especially blood malignancies may be due to primary immunodeficiency and we should consider evaluation of immune system.

Published: January 2024

Social claims are the basis of the legal education process, they reflect the vital interests of individuals and social groups that require their legal consolidation. The formation of social claims is influenced by various factors, including culture and the values that form its content. It is the values that determine the motives of the actions of the claimants. Currently, the active actions of the subjects are aimed at institutionalizing at the legislative level the system of traditional values transmitted from generation to generation and creating an effective mechanism for their protection. Since it should be stated that many subjects under the influence of an information resource, there is a complete rejection of moral values, as well as their significant deformation. The transformation of spiritual values is also negatively affected by the use of artificial intelligence and the processes of digitalization in general. There is a threat of loss of such fundamental values as humanism, charity, mutual assistance, a strong family, patriotism, etc. Thus, the creation of a functioning system of traditional spiritual values and an appropriate mechanism for their protection is relevant both for our Russian state and for the preservation of humanity as a whole.

ABSTRACT Family farms play an important role in food security and nutrition in West Africa. Family farms are rapidly changing and face many constraints. Thus, characterizing them is necessary for policy purposes. This study aimed to characterise family farms in Niger, focusing on the current constraints to family farms and existing agroecological intensification (AEI) options. A survey was conducted using a questionnaire administered to 108 family farms across the selected six study locations. We used descriptive statistics to characterise the family farms and the factorial analysis of mixed data (FAMD) and the Hierarchical Clustering of Principal Components (HCPC) to identify the types of family farms. Results showed that family farms, on average, encompass three households, and the majority (87.2%) of the family farms surveyed were managed by married persons where 25.7% of whom are female. Agriculture remains the primary source of income for 98.2% of people in the study locations, and the main second source of family income (47.7%) is animal husbandry. Family farms are mainly characterised by the presence of the main field (MF) (98%) led by the heads of households and the presence of the women fields (WF) (78%) led by the women. Regarding farm size, the average MF and the WF farm sizes were 3.0 ha and 1.5 ha, respectively. The main identified constraints to family farms were soil fertility decline (84.33%), a recurrent early end of the rainy season (84.33%), farmers’ low income (41.15%), and limited access to the market (24.70%). Twelve potential AEIs options across the study area were explored. In the MF, the major AEI options practised by farmers were: the application of organic manure as fertilizer (73.27%), cereal-legume intercropping (68.83%), and Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (35.85%). Whereas in the WF, the AEI practices were the application of organic manure (55.28%), and cereal-legume intercropping (28.98%). Co-building an integrative approach that combines multiple AEI options in the same field is necessary to tackle the main drivers of the farming systems.

Menelusuri Sejarah dan Beberapa Sastrawan Arab Penganut Aliran Simbolisme
Authors: Mufti Nur Illiyyin Setya
Published: January 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan sejarah dan beberapa tokoh sastrawan Arab penganut aliran simbolisme sastra beserta contoh karyanya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pustaka. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini adalah, sejarah aliran sastra simbolisme pertama kali muncul di Prancis pada tahun 1884. Aliran ini berakar pada keyakinan bahwa objek dan peristiwa dunia nyata memiliki makna mendalam yang dapat diungkapkan melalui bahasa simbolik. Puisi Simbolisme terkenal dengan keambiguannya yang sengaja dirancang untuk menjadi misterius dan sulit dipahami. Beberapa sastrawan Arab, seperti Dr. Basyar Faris, Ali Ahmad Sa'id, Badr Syakir Sayyab, dan Iliya Abu Madhi, juga mengadopsi aliran ini, menggabungkannya dengan konteks budaya mereka. Penelitian ini membahas pergeseran dari aliran lain ke Simbolisme dan kontribusi sastrawan Arab dalam menggunakan simbol alam dan mitos untuk menyampaikan pesan tentang perasaan dan kondisi manusia.

Pasado, presente y futuro de la Οἰκουμένη en Polibio. Una introducción
Authors: Lagos-Aburto Leslie , Montanares-Piña Felipe
Published: January 2024

El estudio de Polibio no debe entenderse sin su correspondencia con la historia de la oikouménē, el mundo conocido en el que interactúan los pueblos del Mediterráneo dentro de una compleja red de conexiones políticoculturales. Polibio pretendió abarcar realidades culturales que se encuentran y coexisten, pues sabemos que las Historias fueron más allá de la mera narración de acontecimientos, porque su autor propuso, y de una manera muy avasalladora, una nueva metodología para el trabajo histórico que marcaría una tendencia en la historiografía. No obstante, a pesar de esos inéditos planteamientos, Polibio reflexionó sobre su propia época. En este artículo buscamos reflexionar en torno a aquellas ideas del pasado, presente y futuro de la oikouménē desde laposición historiográfica de Polibio.

Currently, worldwide research is being conducted on the development of new drugs for viscosupplementation therapy. However, there are a very few studies dedicated to the spatial distribution of proteoglycans in articular cartilage after the use of these drugs. Pulmonary surfactant proteins, which have lubricative functions similar to those of articular cartilage proteoglycans, are possible promising substances for viscosupplementation therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a mixture of allogenic surfactant proteins (MASP) on the spatial distribution of proteoglycans and the expression of IL-1 in articular cartilage after their intra-articular injection. Morphological and immunohistochemical studies were conducted using antibodies to aggrecan and lubricin to assess the spatial distribution of proteoglycans, and antibodies to IL-1 were used to identify potential pro-inflammatory processes. Three weeks after intra-articular injection of MASP, the thickness of the articular cartilage and the relief of the joint surface did not change compared to intact rats. However, a decrease in the number of immunopositive chondrocytes to aggrecan in the intermediate zone of the articular cartilage and an increase in IL-1 were observed after MASP injection. The obtained data during the study can be used for further research on MASP in the conditions of experimental osteoarthritis.
Developmental and lesion models of schizophrenia in rodents
Authors: Kalitin Konstantin Yu. , Spasov Alexander A. , Mukha Olga Yu.
Published: January 2024

Animal modeling of schizophrenia is essential for understanding the neurobiological basis of the disease, as well as for the development of new antipsychotic drugs with improved therapeutic efficacy and safety profile. The review aims at summarizing the methodology and practical aspects of schizophrenia modeling based on dysontogenetic disturbances of the central nervous system in rats and mice. Environmental factors or the destruction of brain structures during prenatal or postnatal periods of development cause reorganization of neural networks, leading to irreversible changes in the function of the central nervous system, which usually appear after puberty. Developmental and lesion models of schizophrenia are widely regarded as the most appropriate due to their ability to reproduce characteristic behavioral and cognitive impairments with a delayed onset of symptoms, which is consistent with the clinical presentation of schizophrenia in humans.

Published: January 2024

The neuroprotective effect of a novel conjugate of hydroxybenzoic acid with glycine (C40) was investigated in a model of ischemic stroke in rats with chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency (CCCI). The study was conducted in two stages: first, CCCI was modeled by stenosing the common carotid arteries by 50 %, followed by a 60-minute middle cerebral artery occlusion (stroke) after 40 days. Compound C40 and the reference drug citicoline were administered for 10 days before stroke and for 3 days after. Further, neurological deficit (the Garcia and Combs D’Alecy scales), sensorimotor functions (Open Field test, Adhesive Removal test, and Rotarod test), cognitive impairments (Novel Object Recognition and Morris Water Maze tests), cerebral blood flow level, and endothelial function were evaluated. Animals receiving the test substances demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in neurological deficit, less pronounced motor coordination and sensorimotor function impairments, as well as fewer short-term and long-term memory deficits compared to the negative control group. The observed decrease in neurological deficit in the experimental groups was accompanied by improved endothelial function and increased cerebral blood flow. The neuroprotective effect of the novel hydroxybenzoic acid derivative with glycine (C40) was comparable to that of reference drug citicoline.
Ludzie niebezpieczni, ludzie powiązani? O Froncie Ludowym i środowisku lewicy literackiej na marginesie dokumentu polskiego Ministerstwa Spraw Wewnętrznych z 1936 roku
Authors: Goslar Wojciech , Grudka Piotr , Krasucki Eryk
Published: January 2024

Prezentowany dokument oraz naukowe wprowadzenie do niego odsłaniają fragment politycznej rzeczywistości Polski i Europy z połowy lat trzydziestych XX wieku. Można z nich wyczytać wiele informacji o ówczesnym klimacie politycznym wyznaczanym przez wzrost popularności faszyzmu oraz lewicową mobilizację skierowaną przeciwko niemu. Utworzony za zgodą Międzynarodówki Komunistycznej (Kominternu) Front Ludowy połączył skłócone dotąd siły socjaldemokratów i komunistów, stanowiąc na pewien czas również ożywczy bodziec dla różnych środowisk kulturalnych. Odczuwalny był on także w polskiej literaturze. Dokument wytworzony przez polską policję polityczną ukazuje, jak głęboko szło rozpoznanie lewicowych środowisk literackich w okresie międzywojennym, a pośrednio informuje również o tym, gdzie polski obóz rządowy upatrywał realnego wroga ideologicznego. Tekst może być ciekawy zarówno dla historyków i politologów, jak i dla historyków literatury.
Lewicowa krytyka literacka dwudziestolecia a wizje uspołecznienia literatury. Casus Baczyńskiego, Fika i Stawara
Authors: Rams Paweł
Published: January 2024

Tekst stanowi próbę rozpoznania literackiego światopoglądu lewicowej krytyki dwudziestolecia międzywojennego w Polsce na przykładzie twórczości Stanisława Baczyńskiego, Ignacego Fika oraz Andrzeja Stawara. Opierając się na marksistowskich kategoriach pochodzących z języka tej formacji, a także używając narzędzi zaproponowanych przez Pierre’a Bourdieu, autor próbuje, w ślad za analizowanymi autorami, zdekonstruować mechanizmy działające w polu produkcji literackiej blokujące możliwość rewolucjonizacji pola oraz włączenia w nie warstw kulturalnie podporządko­wanych. Służy do tego wyróżnienie i analiza sześciu kluczo­wych kategorii, które odgrywają w tym procesie rolę klu­czową. Są to kolejno: 1) edukacja i kompetencje kulturowe; 2) autonomia procesu twórczego i dzieła literackiego; 3) kategorie estetyczne; 4) kanon literacki; 5) twórca i odbiorca; 6) literatura jako przestrzeń władzy.
