Three-dimensional laparoscopic approach to distal oesophageal diverticula: Single-centre experience
Authors: Baili Efstratia , Di Maggio Francesco , Zanotti Daniela , Botha Abraham J.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Epiphrenic oesophageal diverticula are rare and often asymptomatic. When symptoms are present, minimally invasive diverticulectomy is considered the gold standard of treatment. While there is an agreement on the pre-operative assessment, no consensus is achieved when it comes to surgical technique. In the present study, we report our experience and propose a standardised approach to manage this rare oesophageal disorder.

Materials and Methods:

We prospectively analysed data of all consecutive patients who underwent three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic distal oesophageal diverticulum resection during 2015–2020 at Upper gastrointestinal surgical department, St Thomas’ Hospital, regarding pre-operative assessment, surgical technique, peri-and post-operative outcomes.

Results:

Six patients were submitted to 3D laparoscopic diverticulectomy, five of which with additional anterior myotomy and fundoplication and one with additional hiatal hernia repair only. Three patients followed a specific diet in preparation for surgery. Median pre-operative Eckardt symptom score was five. Two patients had normal manometry. Median operative time was 180 min, median estimated blood loss was <100 ml, neither intraoperative complications nor conversions to open approach occurred. All patients reported a complete resolution of symptoms directly after surgery. Median follow-up was 66 months. Five patients have none or minimal residual symptoms. One had recurrence requiring a revision operation for intermittent dysphagia.

Conclusions:

3D laparoscopic diverticulectomy offers a reasonable chance of treatment in patients with epiphrenic diverticula. Optimal selection of patients, optimisation for surgery, gaining the surgical experience of carrying out these techniques and impact on short- and long-term results are issues that still remain under debate.

Published: December 2022

Lineal Megalithic Scripts (LMS) have been found in the Alcalar Dolmen complex (Portimao, Portugal) in a stoneslab which is located close to the reconstructed Dolmen 7. Exact situation of the megalithic Alcalar Stoneslab and scripts placing are shown in this paper. Their preliminar analysis has given also finding of some Iberian-Tartessian signs common to Cumbres Mayores Dolmens (Huelva, Spain), and other signs also found in Sahara Desert (Tim Missaou, Algeria) and Canary Islands rocks. The presence of these LMS admixed with some signs contained in the Iberian-Tartessian signary suggests a transition between LMS and lineal Tartessian signary. A religious funerary transcription has been proposed to these Tartessian signs based on Basque and ancient Iberian-Tartessian language close relatedness. The fact that Tartessian culture is located at Portuguese Algarve and Spanish Andalusia fits with the finding that both in Portugal (Alcalar) and Spain (Cumbres Mayores) Dolmens are found Iberian-Tartessian signs that may be as old as the megaliths (3-4 thousand years BC). It is also proposed that this development and concentration of megaliths in Algarve (Portugal) and Andalusia (Spain) is related to Tartessos civilization in the area which would follow the South Iberia Pyrite Belt, rich in cooper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au) and iron (Fe), that crosses South Portugal and Spain; Tartessos would be somewhat attached to the Iberian Pyrite Belt source of richness. Leisners archaeologists also observed and photographed “Iberian” signs in the San Bartolomé Dolmen (Huelva, Spain) in 1951 AD; they described here “Iberian” scripts in a small artifact most likely is a slinger soldier (“hondero”) projectile who could exixt since 3-4000 BC in South Spain.
Towards a Semantic Understanding of very High- Resolution Satellite Images: the Case of Major Disasters.
Authors:   , Bouyerbou Hafidha
Published: December 2022

The lack of knowledge on damage extent and damage level of affected areas following a major disaster impedes the delivery of the necessary support in guiding rescue teams on the ground, delimiting the extent and level of damaged buildings, spotting the best location for refugee camps, and selecting effective access roads. The increased accessibility of VHR satellite imagery offers new perspectives for the remote sensing and disaster management communities. RS technologies allow fast, effective, and accurate observations of the affected areas. However, these observations need to be rapidly inspected and interpreted to deliver the necessary support. The International Charter "Space and Major Disasters" is activated for this purpose to provide the rescue teams with ready damage maps prepared by means of manual processing and interpretation of satellite images by photo interpreters. A complex, lengthy, and demanding task, which is also subject to errors and subjectivity. Automatic/semiautomatic tools are good alternatives. Automatic processing offers the required prompt treatment intended in such critical situations, nonetheless, it generally presents a semantic gap drawback. The objective of this work is the incorporation of semantics into RS and GIS applications to express and represent expert knowledge in an automatic way. A global ontology that allows geographic and disaster-related knowledge representation, expressivity, and discovery is developed with expert knowledge in remote sensing, disasters, and geographic domains. The approach is based on (i) the conceptualisation of domain knowledge and information surrounding the context, (ii) the development of a global ontology including eight sub-ontologies representing the characteristics of the different related interdomains, (iii) the development of an ontology-based VHR satellite image classification technique based on GEOBIA, and (iv) the application of the ontology and the previous classification results for change detection and damage assessment. A case study on Haiti 2010 earthquake is demonstrated, and the strengths and limitations of the approach are discussed. The results validate the impact of the ontologies in the geographic, remote sensing, and disaster management fields.

Authors: KAPLANOĞLU Hatice , KAPLANOĞLU Veysel , TURAN Aynur , KAVAK Rasime Pelin , AKDAĞ Tuba
Published: December 2022

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT), is a slow-growing benign tumor that originates from the tendon sheath or bursae. TSGCT of the foot and ankle has been reported much less frequently compared to the reported cases in hand and knee. Morphologically it is classified as the localized form which often seen in the hand and the diffuse form seen in large joints. TSGCT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors of the foot and ankle. Clinical and radiological findings of intra-articular localized form of TSGCT in the ankle were presented in this study.

This study discusses the experience of a vertical studio implemented at SCU Department of Architecture. The goal of such an experiment is to open channels of interaction in the studio and activate peer learning. This vertical studio, which was carried out within the scope of the 2021-2022 academic year summer school, includes three different project groups from the second, third and fourth grades. Studio participants with different individual experiences were presented with a main theme focusing on ‘corner’ concept. To diversify contextual openings, four different definitions of ‘corners’ in urban space were developed, and students were free in terms of space selection, architectural program and other design dynamics. While producing projects in the studio around ‘corner’ comprehension, the studio process was observed in terms of activities such as interaction, dialog, collaboration and peer learning. As a result, it was determined that the understanding of dialog and collaborative work for discussing the main theme and/or design decisions has not yet been established, while at the same time it has been understood that vertical studio is a practice that eliminates class-level boundaries and makes the studio open and accessible.
#eindakoa (what we have done): A Pedagogical Method of Interior Design Studio
Authors:   IDarte, Basque School of Art and Higher School of Design, Bilbao,, Besa Eneko
Published: December 2022

This paper is based on a report of the subject of Interior Projects Design Studio in the second-year course at IDarte. Each exercise of the course is summarized by an image. The image is accompanied by a brief report including the approach, the conceptual support, the historical and philosophical references, as well as the pedagogical orientation and the strategy of the exercise. The originality of this pedagogical method is based on offering the maximum freedom to the student in terms of personal creativity, while always working within a framework and within defined limits. This framework is designed in such a way that, in itself, it offers a complete methodological palette through which students assimilate the content of a subject such as Projects that is so difficult to define and specify. It does so in such a way that each exercise of this framework recreates the constitutive qualities of the architectural project: form, space, function, place, program, etc. In fact, each exercise is singled out based on some of these intrinsic qualities, enhancing the learning of these concepts, which most of the time would remain inaccessible. Thus, we stretch the conditions of each exercise to disparate and opposite extremes, to broaden the creative possibilities of the students (Santa-María, 2019:113; Viaplana, 2016:57). The conclusion represents a tapestry in which each exercise forms a ‘network’ along with the rest. Hence the value of the framework of this paper, since it already constitutes what could be defined as ‘the design of the design’.

Field survey activities in the Verdele brook basin, South of Hoisești village, Neamț County, have led to the identification and integration of new sites in the national archaeological database. At first, we made a visual analysis of the Verdele brook basin (left tributary of the Bistrița River), a stage followed by the identification of the places that presented specific parameters of areas with archaeological traces. In this context, South of the Hoisești village, on the left high terrace of the Verdele brook, on a flattened hillock delimited by two fossil riverbeds, we identified many archaeological traces. The fieldwalking activity continued during four agricultural seasons in which we took in consideration the distribution of the artefacts, the degree of damage inflicted to the area and the way the use of agricultural machinery was affecting an archaeological site. In order to confirm the presence of the archaeological content, the artefact distribution and the need to recover and protect the heritage, non-invasive investigations were performed, which proved the existence of a Eneolithic stronghold with three linear arranged 19 housing structures. As a result of this evaluation, it was proposed to carry out an archaeological survey in which the main objective was the research of a rectangular house. After removing the topsoil containing archaeological remains, was reached the archaeological level represented by the remnants of a burnt housing structure. The archaeological investigation started at the Hoisești-La Curmătura 1 led to the identification of some specific characteristics of the Eneolithic settlements with an area of less than one hectare located on minor watercourses and in the vicinity of some sources of liquid salt. In the same context, by recovering a batch of pottery fragments from the Middle Bronze Age, additions will be made regarding the occupation space and the connectivity in the central area of the Cracău-Bistrita Depression.

Cercetările arheologice în așezarea de tip tell de la Vitănești „Măgurice” au început în anul 1993, fiind subsumate unui obiectiv general care vizează cunoașterea principalelor caracteristici ale locuirii neo-neolitice din zona Teleormanului. Campaniile desfășurate între anii 2009-2019 au urmărit mai multe obiective. Primul dintre ele a vizat finalizarea cercetării ultimului nivel de locuire, Gumelnița B1, al așezării. Al doilea obiectiv l-a constituit începerea cercetărilor următorului nivel de locuire, prin săpături efectuate în ambele sectoare ale așezării. De asemenea, o campanie a fost dedicată cercetării locuirii din apropierea tell-ului, în punctul „Vitănești II”. Articolul de față reprezintă o trecere în revistă a principalelor rezultate ale cercetărilor din ultimul deceniu. Astfel, cercetările din sectorul de nord-est al așezării (Sy) au vizat mai multe construcții, precum și o zonă cu o mare concentrare de material osteologic aflată la marginea așezării. În această suprafață au fost descoperite, pe ultimul nivel de locuire, patru construcții incendiate, puternic deranjate de intervenții ulterioare. În marginea de nord-vest a așezării, o zonă cu o mare concentrare de artefacte din corn, ar fi putut aparține unui atelier de prelucrare a acestui material. Inventarul arheologic este bogat: vase întregibile in situ, numeroase unelte din corn, os, silex, greutăți din lut, râșnite, figurine. Între acestea se remarcă un pandantiv de aur, un vas antropomorf, precum și o figurină cu ochii figurați prin două bucăți de scoică. Sub acest nivel au fost descoperite resturile destul de inconsistente ale altor construcții, unele incendiate, care semnalează o locuire anterioară ultimei secvențe de existență a așezării de pe „Măgurice”. Ultimele campanii s-au concentrat în sectorul Sx, având ca obiectiv principal identificarea urmelor de locuire anterioare ultimei secvențe de locuire a așezării. Au fost cercetate două suprafețe, H-L și M-R, ce au relevat o situație complexă. Astfel, în suprafața H-L cercetările au scos la lumină resturile unei construcții neincendiate, care pe baza fragmentelor ceramice descoperite ar aparține nivelului Gumelnița A2. În restul suprafeței au fost descoperite numeroase materiale arheologice, aglomerare ce continuă și în suprafața alăturată, M-R. Se pare că această zonă a așezării a fost liberă de construcții o perioadă de timp destul de mare, ceea ce a permis acumularea unei mari cantități de materiale arheologice. Descoperirea cea mai interesantă din suprafața M-R este reprezentată de resturile incendiate ale unei locuințe, cu indicativul L18, iar lângă ea o vatră (sau cuptor) cu o modalitate de construcție inedită. Locuința avea un inventar bogat, format dintr-o aglomerare de râșnițe și numeroase vase in situ.

În acest raport sunt prezentate rezultatele primare ale cercetării arheologice preventive efectuate în augustseptembrie 2020, pe vârful monticolului „Cetățuia”, în incinta Mănăstirii Cetățuia Negru Vodă din cătunul Valea Cetățuia, comuna Cetățeni, județul Argeș, pe amplasamentul propus al unei viitoare construcții cu destinația de chilii, trapeză și spațiu administrativ. Suprafața supusă cercetării preventive se află la extremitatea sudică a micului platou de pe vârful monticolului, la peste 700 m altitudine, pe muchia unui versant ce coboară aproape vertical către Valea Chiliilor. Perimetrul a făcut parte din ansamblul cetății dacice și al celei medievale ce au funcționat aici în secolele II a.Chr.-I p.Chr., respective XIII-XV, și a fost ocupat în ultima jumătate de secol de construcții ce țineau de organizarea mănăstirii. Intervențiile moderne au afectat într-o măsură însemnată patrimoniul arheologic de aici. La momentul începerii cercetării preventive, o parte a suprafeței (partea estică, circa 25m2) era deja afectat de săpături nesupravegheate arheologic ce au dus la îndepărtarea unor segmente întregi de depuneri mai vechi. Suprafața totală cercetată efectiv prin săpătură arheologică a fost de 90 m2. Din cauza stâncii cu o pantă accentuată aici și a marginii prăpastiei de la extremitatea sudică a platoului, perimetrul respectiv nu a fost propice locuirii în epoca dacică și în cea medievală. Tocmai de aceea, cu câteva excepții (cinci la număr), complexele arheologice au fost absente. Depunerile arheologice sunt totuși prezente, fiind reprezentate de straturi cu materiale (resturi menajere – fragmente ceramice, mici piese metalice rezultate în primul rând de la construcții – cuie, scoabe, piroane, dar și două bolțuri de arbaletă, în sfârșit, o cantitate mare de oase de animale) aruncate sau alunecate de pe micul platou de pe vârf, aflat imediat la nord de zona cercetată, unde în epoca dacică și în cea medievală se afla restrânsa zonă rezidențială. Au fost reperate cinci complexe arheologice: trei intervenții în stâncă (o terasare, o albiere rectangulară și urmele unei posibile palisade), a căror datare rămâne incertă în lipsa unui material concludent asociat, o aglomerare de materiale de construcție (blochete de gresie) din cea de-a doua epocă a fierului, precum și parte din oasele scheletului unui defunct (reînhumare) depuse grupat într-un nivel post-medieval.

Published: December 2022

Acest studiu este dedicat unei categorii speciale de material arheologic, păstrate în colecțiile Muzeului Național de Istorie, terra sigillata de la Feldioara. Analiza a fost realizată pe un lot de 44 de piese ce au fost descoperite în cadrul campaniilor arheologice întreprinse între anii 1987–1990. În urma analizei stilistice (în cazul pieselor cu decor), coroborată cu analiza tipologică și cea a pastelor din care sunt confecționate obiectele am constatat faptul că importurile provin din două mari centre producătoare de terra sigillata: Lezoux și Rheinzabern. Astfel, centrul de la Lezoux reprezintă locul de proveniență a celei mai mari părți din sigilatele descoperite la Feldioara. Atelierele de la Rheinzabern constituie, de asemenea, una dintre sursele principale de terra sigillata de la Feldioara.
Celebrarea lui Isis și Sarapis: sărbători și practici rituale isiace în coloniile milesiene din Propontida și de la Pontul Euxin
Authors:   Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Feraru Remus Mihai
Published: December 2022

Studiul nostru are ca obiect sărbătorile și practicile rituale consacrate divinităților isiace în coloniile milesiene situate pe țărmurile Propontidei și ale Pontului Euxin. Cercetarea noastră se întemeiază pe documentele literare, epigrafice și numismatice. Πλοιαφέσια (Ploiaphesia) erau o sărbătoare de primăvară consacrată zeiței Isis care era adorată în ipostaza de protectoare a navigației și navigatorilor, precum și de divinitate a vitalității și fertilității. Ploiaphesia erau celebrate pe 5 martie și marca redeschiderea oficială a navigației. Celebrarea sărbătorii Ploiaphesia poate fi presupusă la Amastris, Sinope, Anchialos și Tomis, pe baza dovezilor furnizate de documentele epigrafice și de emisiunile monetare. Ἰσιεῖα (Isieia) erau o sărbătoare de toamnă care dura din 28 octombrie până pe 3 noiembrie. Această sărbătoare comemora dispariția lui Osiris, mai înainte ca el să fie regăsit, câteva zile mai târziu, de către soția lui, Isis. Isieia sunt atestate direct într-o inscripție de la Kios. Sărbătoarea Χαρμόσυνα (Charmosyna) celebra învierea lui Osiris, fiind considerată sărbătoarea bucuriei colective. Se poate presupune că Charmosyna erau celebrate pe 3 noiembrie. Această sărbătoare este atestată la Kios și Tomis. Sărbătorile isiace reunesc un personal cultic numeros. Ritualul incubației este strâns legat de cultul lui Sarapis care, în calitatea lui de zeu tămăduitor prin intermediul unei epifanii onirice, face obiectul unei mari venerații din partea credincioșilor săi. Incubația se răspândește în Pontul Euxin odată cu implantarea cultelor isiace.
Fortificatia quadriburgium (?) de la pestera Veterani din Clisura Dunării

Published: December 2022

Peștera Veterani este una dintre cele mai cunoscute peșteri naturale de pe teritoriul României. În prezent este vizitată adeseori de turiști și iubitori de speologie. Nu este doar un monument impresionant al naturii, ci și un sit arheologic multistratificat cu o istorie foarte bogată. Fortificarea grotei este sigură pentru perioada Evului Mediu și epoca modernă. Urmele epocii romane sunt mai puțin inteligibile, specialiștii ezitând între a o recunoaște ca așezare pescărească care la un moment dat, în epoca romană târzie, ar fi putut fi fortificată și a o clasifica ca peșteră sacră sau chiar mithraeum. Așa cum este și firesc, poziția sa strategică în zona strâmtorii Cazanelor Dunării a făcut ca acest loc neobișnuit să fie inclus în lista UNESCO a Limesului Dunărean al Imperiului Roman. În rândurile următoare, încercăm să descifrăm caracterul ruinelor romane de la Peștera Veterani (Peskabara) coroborând toate sursele pe care le avem la îndemână: arheologice, epigrafice, arhivistice și cartografice. Suntem de părere că în fața grotei a existat începând de la sfârșitul secolului al III-lea d.Hr. un mic fort (asemănător unui quadriburgium) cu un mic port adiacent, la fel apărat de ziduri.

Numismatic data has always had a special place in archaeological studies. So, these documents can provide researchers with a wide range of information based on the focused point of research. The quality and quantity of elements used in coin metal can be restored by archaeometric studies. Some of these elements, such as silver, lead, copper and gold, indicate the monetary policies and metallurgy of their minting time. In this research, for the first time, 25 samples of coins in Ghajar periods were analyzed by the fast and non-destructive PIXE method with different minting techniques, and the percentage of main elements of these coins (silver, copper, lead, gold, iron, chlorine, calcium) were obtained. The results showed that silver is the mould element in this coinage and its amount is slightly different in hammering and milled coinages. Over time, the Qajars were able to gain more control over monetary policies. Also, the presence of small amounts of lead in most of the coins showed that the separation of elements has been done well by silver. And in this era, various sources have been used to supply the necessary silver for minting.

No Fedro a filosofia é considerada uma psicagogia,[1] uma vez que, por meio do discurso, a alma é conduzida e afetada pelo outro. O diálogo se dá em um movimento relacional, já que se trata de um périplo a dois para além dos muros da cidade, ao mesmo tempo, o diálogo problematiza a questão do movimento autônomo da alma. Há uma tendência natural de ascensão na alma, uma vez que ela causa seu próprio movimento, assim como gerencia o movimento do corpo, contudo ela é afetada pelo poder do discurso o qual pode potencializar essa tendência ou inibi-la. A condução da alma é possível porque há, na sua própria estrutura, um princípio inteligível que a conduz, assim sendo, a autonomia da alma frente ao poder do discurso faz com que a retórica tenha suas limitações. Mas se a alma é soberana em relação aos discursos, é mister reconhecer que sua condução pressupõe alteridade; nesse sentido a autonomia da alma como causa do movimento não implica em uma autonomia radical que tornaria o outro prescindível. O diálogo exige um efetivo encontro com o outro, e é somente nessa medida que Platão o considera superior à escrita, afinal o verdadeiro discurso se escreve na alma, palavra viva e animada que pressupõe um relacionamento salutar com o outro.

Palavras-chave: Alma. Alteridade. Psicagogia.

 

 [1] O uso da palavra psykhagogía (psykhé + ago) tem inicialmente a conotação de conjurar as almas dos mortos ou de usar magia e encantamentos para guiar as almas das pessoas vivas. O verbo psykhagoréo, significa inicialmente conduzir as almas para o outro mundo e, posteriormente, atrair, conquistar, fascinar e, em sentido negativo, seduzir ou iludir a alma. O verbo àgo, por sua vez, tem o sentido mais amplo de conduzir, guiar. Em um sentido literal, Platão utiliza o termo psicagogia como condução da alma.
BERGSON E NIETZSCHE:
Authors: Dias Silvano Severino
Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar como as intuições de fundo, que delineiam o conceito de vida em Bergson (1959-1941) e em Nietzsche (1844-1900) fundamentam as suas compreensões sobre o conceito de mística, diferente do explicitado na obra de um autor anônimo, intitulada Relato de um Peregrino Russo (1831). Enquanto os dois primeiros autores sinalizam para a compreensão de um paradigma laico de espiritualidade, o terceiro expressa uma perspectiva de espiritualidade religiosa. Mesmo assim, elas apoiam-se em experiência imediata da dinâmica da vida. Para os dois filósofos, as expressões “impulso originário da vida” e “impulso criador e de invenção da vida” não possuem nexos conceituais conflitantes, mas apenas divergências de estilo e de compreensão da realidade. Se para Bergson, em A Evolução Criadora a vida é compreendia como sendo um princípio originário, denominado Élan Vital — movimento para Nietzsche, em Fragmentos póstumos, compreende o conceito de mundo (natureza) e de vida como vontade de potência — processo do vir a ser como superação de si e necessidade de autodestruição. Para esses autores, a experiência do fluxo da vida e o impulso criador orientam o modo de pensar e de agir do místico, o qual busca comunicar por meio de uma linguagem simbólica a necessidade de ir além dos princípios que norteiam a lógica do entendimento humano, e dos hábitos que regem e constituem a dinâmica da moral fechada e da moral de rebanho.

As orações Amatsu Norito e Zenguen Sandji são usadas pela Sekai Kyusei-Kyo, uma nova religião japonesa fundada no Japão na década de 1930 por Mokichi Okada. A partir da comparação entre os sentidos destas orações para japoneses (entendidos como o conjunto dos japoneses tradicionais não-cristãos) e ocidentais (no conjunto dos cristãos) fez-se uma abordagem hermenêutica de seu contexto na perspectiva da religião como dimensão da vida espiritual humana. No que diz respeito à saúde, Okada cria o conceito de Johrei como ato purificador tanto do corpo como do espírito.

According to the rules of Roman law, if there is a risk of damage due to a defect in the building, whether it was a defect in the construction or a consequence of nonmaintenance, the threatened neighbor had the right to cutio damni infecti. In the form of a stipulation, the owner of the building promised to compensate for any damage that may occur due to the condition of the building. However, the fact of risk of damage had a certain legal significance in contract for the lease of apartments in residential buildings (insulae). The fact that such building is risk for future damage had legal significance for tenant (conductor) and also for lessor (locator) which will be the subject of consideration in this paper.

Bearing in mind that for a long time, as it were, since the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia in 2006, there have been demands for its partial or complete revision, the author has, within this paper, conducted a very significant research, which refers to the third, a very important branch of the principle of separation of powers - judicial power. Namely, in his research, he pointed out the relationship between the legislative and executive power (as political power) and the judicial power (as expert power). The implementation of the rule of law depends on this relationship and compliance with the regulations provided by the Constitution and corresponding laws. More than two decades ago, the Republic of Serbia decided for the path of European integration, whereby several international agreements were concluded between she and the EU.

Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat and an important public health problem affecting all ages in both men and women. It has been shown that obesity is responsible for many genetic, environmental, neurological, physiological, biochemical, cultural and spiritual factors. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends Body Mass Index (BMI) for obesity classification due to its simplicity, cost-effectivity, and high accuracy. Apart from BMI, waist circumference measurement, weight-to-height, skinfold thickness, and circumference measurements are also used. According to the WHO, 2.8 million people die every year due to obesity. Although obesity affects all ages and social groups, women have been more overweight compared to men since and has been linked to many biological factors. However, even with the medical problems, obese women live longer than men, but not without higher healthcare costs. In this review, the effects of obesity on women's health and life will be discussed.

This research is to reveal that education is not only dealing with issues of intelligence and thinking, but it is also fully responsible for the development of students' character. Due to the said reason, it is important to explore such research considering that the mental situation of this nation is clearly correlated with the spirit of national education which has been value free. Our educational philosophy is indeed intellectual, but our learning strategy is no longer concerned with the mental, moral, and developmental aspects of enlightening thinking skills. The national education curriculum and methodology are designed only to fill the mind with a series of knowledge and do not provide enough opportunity for the growth of an enlightened human being. Al-Qur'an for Muslims is not a mere a religious scripture, but it is also indeed to be an enlightening guide to find some basic principles of education which can then inspire in developing a qualified education. This study uses the Qur'anic literature method as well as a descriptive and qualitative research with a library research approach by analysing Qur’anic verses. This article analyzes the signs of al-Qur'an as the basic framework for building a liberating and enlightening education.

The Indonesia Capital Market has experienced a significant increase in investors from 2019 until now. The increase in the number of new Indonesian capital market investors is dominated by people under 30 years who prefer to invest in stocks and mutual funds. This increase in new investors does not follow by high financial literacy. Research regarding financial literacy and investment return in Indonesia showed that financial literacy affects investment return. Therefore, Indonesia’s new investors will most likely experience losses due to their lack of financial literacy. Even though there are equity funds for novice stock investors that help them minimize the error they would make if they invest themselves, they cannot choose the equity funds randomly since most equity funds cannot beat the market benchmark. This study proposed using the Magic Formula and Acquirer’s Multiple as an investment strategy for new investors in Indonesia. Both Magic Formula and Acquirer’s Multiple generated an average annual return greater than the market and Indonesia Equity Funds listed since 2016 with an average return of 26,24% and 26,32% annually. The Sharpe ratio of both methods also generated a higher ratio than the market, where Magic Formula generated an average Sharpe ratio of 0,930 annually, while Acquirer’s Multiple generated an average ratio of 1,038. The acquirer’s Multiple is recommended for novice investors because it outperforms the Magic Formula and the market in terms of actual annual returns and risk-adjusted returns.

Published: December 2022

Background: Smoking increases the risk of CVD, however, the magnitude of this increase in risk varies substantively according to a range of factors. Smoking-related CVD risks are highest in current and recent smokers, compared to never smokers and those who have quit in the more distant past. Risk also increases with increasing duration of use and with greater intensity of smoking, as measured by the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Methods: In the present study, a total of 60 male smokers having a history of smoking of more than 2 years and smoking at least 3 cigarettes per day were included in the study, provided they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 60 healthy male patients were included as controls/non-smokers. Demographic details were noted. Past, present and other relevant histories were recorded. Physical examination was done. Standard 12 lead ECG was done in the resting state after 2 hours of abstinence from strenuous physical activity, smoking and/or any caffeinated beverages. Results: In the present study, it was observed that the mean age of the non-smokers was lower (27.85 ± 5.11 years) than that of smokers (30.22 ± 5.26 years); P value: 0.014. Only males were included in the present study. The BMI and heart rate were similar in the smokers and non-smokers; P value: more than 0.05. The majority of the cases had normal axis on ECG in both the groups (86.66% in non-smokers and 70% in smokers). Left axis deviation was more common than the right axis deviation in both the groups. The difference between the two groups was statistically insignificant; P value: 0.063. The width and height of the P wave were similar in both the groups; P value: more than 0.05. The R wave was significantly bigger in the smokers (12.53 ± 4.63 mm) than in the non- smokers (10.05 ± 2.93 mm); P value: 0.001. The duration of PR interval was significantly more in the smokers (140.10 ± 18.37 ms) as compared to non-smokers (129.45 ± 19.90 ms); P value: 0.003. T wave inversion was present in 10% cases of smokers while no case in the non-smoker group had T wave inversion; P value: 0.027. The ST segment was normal in most of the cases (98.33% in the non-smokers and 96.66% in the smokers’ groups); P value: more than 0.05. All the cases in both the groups had normal sinus rhythm with normal PR interval, no tall T wave, no wide QRS interval or shortened QT interval. Conclusion: The study concluded that the smokers have a mean age of 30.22 ± 5.26 years. The heart rate is similar to non-smokers. In general, normal axis on ECG is more common. Left axis deviation is more prevalent than right axis deviation. Smokers have bigger R waves, increased PR duration and inverted T waves. This may be because smoking generally causes a transient increase in heart rate and ECG changes, especially those pertaining to ST-T segment.

Polymorphic Light Eruption (PLE) is a dermatosis related to ultraviolet radiation (UV), which is why it occurs mainly in anatomical sites exposed to the sun. It can vary in morphology from one subject to another, however, in the same patient it is usually monomorphic and the most common form of presentation is the papular variant. There is a higher prevalence of this disorder in fair-skinned people and in women, while climate and latitude are also contributing factors. Its relationship with systemic lupus erythematosus is not very clear, but its histopathology and symptoms may be the key to understanding this phenomenon.
