The Covid-19 Pandemic in the Age of Necropolitics: Challenges for Liberation Theologies
Authors: Jiménez Leonel Iván Jiménez
Published: December 2022

The pandemic Covid19 is not only a medical emergency but also a major economic and political crisis, including the existence of a neoliberal transformation called necropolitics namely the determination of who should die. This article aims to offer liberation theology in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research results show liberation and contextual theologies will be critical in future battles against necropolitical policies. The Covid-19 pandemic is not creating a new reality, but rather exposing and radicalizing existing realities - necropolitical realities - all over the world. Liberation and contextual theologies will be critical in future battles against necropolitical policies. The church must listen to what marginalized communities have to say, and liberation and contextual theologies must listen to what other theologies have to say. A liberation narrative must be declared, in which all liberative narratives can find a space of openness. While hegemonic narratives are imposed, the Gospel of Life, Justice, Joy, and Liberation has the potential to open previously closed horizons. Even under necropolitical regimes, there is good news.

Published: December 2022

Стаття присвячена дослідженню місця залишків та відходів харчової промисловості в зовніш-ній торгівлі України агропродовольчими товарами з використанням методів та прийомів статистичногоаналізу. В дослідженні встановлено, що в агропродовольчому експорті (товарні групи 1 -24) виручка відреалізації залишків та відходів (товарна група 23) знаходиться на четвертому місці, а в складі готовиххарчових продуктів (товарні групи 1 6-24) це головний вид продукції, що являється певним феноменом,особливо в порівнянні з деякими розглянутими країнами ЄС. Виконаний аналіз показує, що таке місцезалишків і відходів в зовнішній торгівлі є результатом використання виробництва цих видів продукціїпереважно для експорту (більше 80%), а не для внутрішнього використання в тваринництві. Значніобсяги експорту при мінімальному імпорті негативно впливають на розвиток виробництва м’ясних імолочних продуктів, скорочуючи експорт і збільшуючи імпорт продукції цих товарних позицій. У вис-новках представлено рекомендації щодо розвитку експортної торгівлі залишками і відходами харчовоїпромисловості за умов повного забезпечення вітчизняних галузей тваринництва достатніми кормови-ми ресурсами.
Does carbon footprint reduction impair mechanical properties and service life of concrete?
Authors: Ram Kiran , Serdar Marijana , Londono-Zuluaga Diana , Scrivener Karen
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to evaluate how much the changes in the concrete mix design, which enable carbon footprint reduction, are impacting mechanical properties and predicted service life of concrete structure. The starting point of this study was concrete mix used in a recent reinforced concrete Pelješac Bridge in the Adriatic. In the first round of experiments the amount of cement in this initial mix was significantly lowered, without jeopardising workability of the mix. In the second round, the main part of the cement was substituted with the combination of fly ash and limestone or calcined clay and limestone. All supplementary cementitious materials used were sourced in the region of the structure. The calcined clays used in this study were collected locally and found to have a low kaolin content. On all mixes fresh and mechanical properties were tested to ensure that the requested equal or better workability and mechanical stability were reached. Furthermore, on each mix chloride migration was tested to evaluate the resistance of mix to chloride penetration. All mixtures were evaluated based on the overall performance considering mechanical, durability, and carbon footprints. The results indicate that the total cement content had a significant effect on durability and thus service life. The bridge mix design was determined to be ‘over designed,’ as all alternative mixes achieved a similar or higher sustainability index with lower amount of cement.

Published: December 2022

L’entretien porte sur la place du plurilinguisme dans l’œuvre de la dessinatrice de bande dessinée franco-libanaise Zeina Abirached, qui évoque à travers le commentaire de plusieurs planches, son parcours plurilingue entre l’arabe et le français et la place de l’arabe dans son dessin. L’entretien met en avant les modes de représentation du plurilinguisme dans ses romans graphiques, à travers l’usage de métaphores visuelles, le travail sur le noir et blanc, le travail sur la musicalité et le rythme, la temporalité des récits. À travers l’image du tissage, l’œuvre de Zeina Abirached cherche à rassembler les éléments épars de l’identité plurilingue, pour en dépasser la déchirure.
Transcrire la parole en langues
Authors: DUFEU Pierre-Yves
Published: December 2022

Cet article se propose d’explorer le multilinguisme à l’œuvre dans la littérature francophone subsaharienne, à partir d’un corpus limité mais représentatif constitué de deux œuvres classiques (Les Soleils des indépendances, d’Ahmadou Kourouma, parue en 1968, L’Étrange destin de Wangrin, d’Amadou Hampaté Bâ, parue en 1973) et d’une œuvre plus contemporaine (La Saison de l’ombre, de Léonora Miano, parue en 2013). Dans ce contexte postcolonial africain, par-delà le pouvoir du langage, c’est la puissance plus fondamentale de la parole qui est évoquée et convoquée. Or cette parole orale, objet de transmission, de tradition, la littérature la transcrit/traduit en plusieurs langues distinctes, le français majoritaire, langue coloniale indo-européenne, mais aussi plusieurs autres, nigéro-congolaises, le malinké, le bambara, le douala, selon les modes faussement mineurs d’emprunts aux formats variables qu’il s’agit de relever et d’interpréter.
La traduction du texte polyphonique
Authors: OSEKI-DÉPRÉ Inês
Published: December 2022

Il sera question, dans notre article, de cerner une métholodologie en traductologie littéraire prenant le texte polyphonique (ou polyglossique) comme texte de référence.
Comment, en effet, traduire en français un texte poétique traversé par d’autres langues, d’autres textes ? Comment produire, ensuite, un texte basiquement en français, qui soit lisible et source du même plaisir esthétique qu’au départ, dans sa langue ?
Après une présentation du texte Galaxies (1999) et de ses enjeux, je tenterai d’exposer une « méthode » traductive pour terminer par des considérations sur la place de la langue portugaise par rapport aux langues centrales, compte tenu de la conscience métalinguistique de son créateur, le poète brésilien Haroldo de Campos (1933-2003).
Plurilinguisme et création littéraire en chinois
Authors: LIU Michel
Published: December 2022

Le terme de putonghua, « chinois mandarin », qui signifie « le parler standard » ou « la langue commune », sous-entend par lui-même l’existence du plurilinguisme en Chine, sans même parler des langues des ethnies minoritaires. On compte huit grandes familles de dialectes à l’intérieur de la langue chinoise, dont les différences peuvent être parfois aussi grandes qu’entre deux langues européennes. Cette diversité linguistique du chinois, malheureusement passe mal dans la littérature écrite, essentiellement à cause de la contrainte liée à la spécificité de l’écriture chinoise. Cependant, beaucoup d’écrivains de la littérature contemporaine ont fait des efforts dans ce sens, en faisant entrer la réalité linguistique locale dans leurs œuvres tout en valorisant le cuture régionale.

Imaginaire artistique, expérience esthétique et « translangageance »
Authors: BORGÉ Nathalie , POTAPUSHKINA-DELFOSSE Marie
Published: December 2022

Cet article met en lumière les résultats d’une recherche menée dans un dispositif universitaire d’enseignement de français comme langue étrangère de niveau intermédiaire-avancé auprès d’étudiants internationaux plurilingues. Il s’est agi de tisser des liens entre les langues premières des apprenants et la langue cible à partir de la réception esthétique d’œuvres d’art présentées lors de l’exposition Franz Marc/August Macke : l’aventure du Cavalier bleu, au musée de l’Orangerie à Paris. Cette expérience a eu comme élément déclencheur l’échange réflexif et plurilingue des deux chercheures impliquées dans le protocole. Nous verrons combien l’émergence des langues des apprenants à travers la mise en œuvre d’une expérience sensible favorise non seulement un développement et une créativité langagiers en langue cible mais permet également d’accueillir chacun dans sa pluralité culturelle, linguistique et biographique.
La meilleure traductrice est-elle celle qui ignore la langue de départ ?
Authors: STALDER Katharina
Published: December 2022

Retour sur un atelier de traduction et d’écriture créative, animé (en ligne) par une traductrice de l’allemand, avec des participantes ne maîtrisant pas cette langue : il a été l'occasion de trouver des chemins détournés dans la langue et entre les langues. En travaillant avec des dispositifs comme la traduction aveugle et la craduction, les participantes ont pu se débarrasser de la pression du bien-faire (académique) et de la traduction correcte pour mettre du jeu (au sens mécanique) dans la langue. Mais c’était aussi le cas pour l’animatrice de l’atelier, qui a ainsi pu prendre de la distance avec sa langue-source pour réinventer, une nouvelle fois, sa langue d’arrivée.

Authors: Soleimannejad Maryam , Mirzazadeh Mahyar , Radmanesh Nima
Published: December 2022

Background and Objective The role of night sleep in learning and consolidating memory has been mentioned and researched in many studies. Different tools have been used to determine the effect of sleep. However, this kind of research in the Iranian population is limited. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the role of sleep in immediate and late learning of new words of second language in a number of English language learners.Methods Forty Persian males aged 18–35 years old participated in our study in two groups. The first group completed learning steps at 8–10 AM and repeated the test after 12 hours. The second group performed the initial stages of learning at 8–10 PM and repeated the test next morning. Everyone completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Persian version for evaluating their sleep habits during last month and the effect of their sleep habits on achieved task scores.Results Comparison of the number of recalled words (NRW) between the two groups showed a significant difference (p-value < 0.001) with better performance in night group. The NRW during the second stage was positively influenced by better subjective sleep quality, lower sleep latency, higher sleep efficiency, and more sleep duration significantly (p-value < 0.05). There was no significant relationship of NRW with sleep disorders, sleep medications, or daytime dysfunction.Conclusions Adequate night sleep could improve late learning of second language in our research subjects. Sleep quality, latency in falling asleep, and subjective sleep quality might play a role in this learning process.

Authors: Che-Morales José Luis , Carrillo-Alduenda José Luis
Published: December 2022

Background and Objective Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have varied and non-specific clinical presentations that can severely affect their sleep quality and functional outcomes. This study aimed to describe the symptoms of OSA, excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, and sleep quality, and to identify clinical factors associated with poor functional outcomes in OSA patients residing in southeastern Mexico.Methods This is cross-sectional, descriptive study, based on adult patients referred for respiratory polygraphy due to suspected OSA. The functional outcomes sleep questionnaire, Epworth sleepiness scale, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, insomnia severity index, Beck depression inventory, and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation were administrated to all participants. Association, correlation, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed for these instruments using the functional outcomes sleep questionnaire score < 89.5 points as the dependent variable.Results A total of 199 patients with apnea-hypopnea index > 5 h-1 were included. Most were highly symptomatic. Functional outcomes were not associated with the apnea-hypopnea index but were inversely associated with sleepiness, depression, sleep quality and insomnia, regardless of OSA severity. Excessive daytime sleepiness and depression were risk factors for poor functional outcomes (odds ratio [OR]: 7.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.5–16.2; p < 0.001 and OR: 4.5; 95% CI: 2–9.6; p < 0.001, respectively).Conclusions Depression and excessive daytime sleepiness are risk factors for impaired functional outcomes in Mexican patients with OSA.

Authors: Lee Dongin , Kamaleddine Issa , Cho Inn-Kyu , Ahmed Oli , Cho Eulah
Published: December 2022

Background and Objective We tested the psychometric properties of the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 (SAVE-9) scale among healthcare workers who experienced patients’ deaths.Methods From June 2nd to 10th, 2022, an anonymous, online survey was administered to medical doctors and nursing professionals who witnessed the deaths of patients they cared for during the last two years. Participants demographic characteristics and responses to the SAVE-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were collected.Results A total of 267 responses were collected in this survey. The two-factor model of the SAVE-9 fits well among healthcare workers who witnessed patients’ death (CFI = 1.000, GFI = 0.996, RMSEA = 0.000, RSMR = 0.040). The SAVE-9 scale showed good reliability of internal consistency and convergent validity with the GAD-7 (r = 0.429, p = 0.001), PHQ-9 score (r = 0.414, p = 0.001), and ISI (r = 0.368, p = 0.001).Conclusions We observed that the SAVE-9 and its two subscales were valid and reliable tools for measuring work-related stress and viral anxiety among healthcare workers who witnessed the death of their patients.
Стратегии маломобильных групп в пандемию COVID‑19: параметры доверия и солидарности
Authors: Ярская-­Смирнова Валентина , Ручин Алексей
Published: December 2022

В статье рассмотрены стратегии маломобильного населения в период пандемии. Развивая накопленный опыт исследований устойчивости уязвимых групп и используя данные опроса маломобильного населения трех российских городов, представлена новая авторская типология стратегий поведения маломобильных групп в зависимости от изменения солидарности и доверия как реакции на пандемию COVID‑19: «стратегия консенсуса», «прогосударственная стратегия», «просоциальная стратегия» и «стратегия автономии». Классификация стратегий поведения по солидарности и доверию образно представляет социальные портреты выделенных кластеров. Явными антагонистами, не только в исходных параметрах, но и связанных с ними паттернах поведения, являются «стратегия консенсуса», основанная на высоком уровне солидарности и доверия, и «стратегия автономии», в основе которой – отсутствие и солидарности, и доверия. Среди маломобильного населения преобладает более успешная с точки зрения уязвимости и способности быстро восстанавливаться в период эпидемий и катастроф «стратегия консенсуса». Преобладание данной стратегии характерно для всех анализируемых маломобильных групп: людей пожилого возраста, испытывающих сложности с передвижением, родителей малолетних детей, но особенно – для людей с ограниченными возможностями здоровья, что связано с повседневным «закаливанием» трудностями, ограничениями и барьерами, которые они испытывают и преодолевают, в результате формируя наиболее успешные с точки зрения устойчивости к различного рода невзгодам паттерны поведения. Представители «стратегии консенсуса» чаще других выступают сторонниками вакцинации, соблюдения введенных ограничений и принятых государством мер и, хотя чаще других болели COVID‑19, переносили его легкой форме. «Стратегия автономии» распространена значительно реже и связана с отрицанием введенных мер и необходимости сбережения своего здоровья, даже несмотря на опыт болезни COVID‑19 в тяжелой форме, которая, к сожалению, наиболее часто встречается среди ковид-­диссидентов из числа маломобильного населения.
Моральные обоснования управления (этно)культурным разнообразием в образовательном пространстве
Authors: Козлова Мария
Published: December 2022

Статья нацелена на анализ моральных ориентиров управления этнокультурным разнообразием в пространстве российской школы, для чего на основе анализа контента учебных книг сопоставляются практики управления разнообразием в зависимости от целевой группы, для которой предназначен учебник. В качестве теоретической рамки используется типология моральных мотивов социальной интеграции. Аналитический потенциал выбранной рамки демонстрируется на примере анализа контента учебников для начальной ступени образования, издававшихся для детей русскоязычного меньшинства в «лимитрофных государствах» (Латвии и Польше) в 1920‑е гг. Выбранная рамка, основанная на разделении группоориентированных моральных мотивов на мотивацию социального порядка и социальной справедливости и сфокусированная на отношении к разнообразию, позволяет эксплицировать моральные оценки этнокультурного разнообразия, задействованные в учебных книгах, и способствующие формированию паттернов поддержки соответственно ориентированных программ социальной политики. Демонстрируется, что выбор стратегии управления разнообразием являет собой практику, укорененную в системе ценностных ориентаций и моральных норм. Доказывается, что оценка контекста сообществом, являющимся субъектом конструирования и трансляции новым поколениям стратегических ориентиров и повседневных практик, выступает в качестве основы морального регулирования разнообразия. Если внешняя по отношению к сообществу среда оценивается как дружелюбная, сообщество ориентируется на поддержание внутреннего разнообразия и открытость, предлагая для усвоения и тиражирования модель интеграции, основанную на морали социальной справедливости. В условиях, которые оцениваются как враждебные, угрожающие целостности и жизнеспособности сообщества, транслируемые школой стратегии ориентированы на закрытие и гомогенизацию сообщества, что обеспечивает внутригрупповую сплоченность на основе морали социального порядка и ограничивает возможности интеграции в общество надгруппового уровня. Моральные мотивации регулирования разнообразия выступают в качестве «переходного звена» между государственной национальной политикой и образовательными практиками. На основе анализа контента учебников для начальной («Окружающий мир») и средней школы («Обществознание»), изданных до и после 2014 г., утверждается, что характерный для российской педагогики эссенциалистский подход к культуре и этничности, инспирированный ценностью безопасности, заложенной в документы государственной национальной политики, становится воплощением репрессивной морали социального порядка, ориентированной на гомогенизацию общества и ассимиляцию представителей этнокультурных меньшинств.
Оценка валидности и надежности инструментария многомерного измерения установок по отношению к инклюзивному образованию детей с ООП
Authors: Лебедев Даниил , Воронков Алексей
Published: December 2022

Внедрение механизмов инклюзии в образовательный процесс неразрывно связано с социальными и культурными особенностями групп, участвующих в этом процессе. Безусловно ключевая роль здесь принадлежит учителям, однако родители детей, имеющих и не имеющих ограничения, также активно вовлечены в этот процесс и в целом оказывают влияние на его успешность. Исследования отечественной и зарубежной литературы в основном ограничиваются анализом одномерных установок (отрицательное / положительное отношение). Целью этой статьи является обсуждение разработанного в рамках проекта «Инклюзивное образование: стратегии, практики и ресурсы» инструмента измерения социальных установок к инклюзивному образованию у учителей и родителей, оценка его конвергентной конструктной валидности и надежности-­согласованности. Важным отличием представляемой методики является комплексность оценки. Оцениваются все три аспекта установки одновременно: когнитивный, аффективный и поведенческий. По каждому аспекту был подготовлен блок утверждений, и респондентов просили указать степень согласия с ними. Для оценки надежности инструментария использован показатель альфы Кронбаха, для оценки валидности – коэффициент ранговой корреляции Спирмена с прямым вопросом о поддержке инклюзивного образования. В результате анализа выделен набор компонент, отражающий разные измерения установок по отношению к инклюзивному образованию. Данные компоненты воспроизводятся во всех трех исследованных группах, характеризуются высокими показателями альфы Кронбаха (надежность) и теоретически согласованным направлением коэффициента ранговой корреляции Спирмена (валидность).

Published: December 2022

El análisis docente de contenidos en Ciencias Sociales se enfrenta a la ingente cantidad de textos que genera el alumnado durante su aprendizaje (resúmenes, exámenes, ensayos, trabajos…). Las herramientas digitales no han tenido hasta ahora un efecto claro de asistencia docente, pero entendemos que esto puede cambiar. Presentamos un estudio de caso en el que se aplica la metodología CAQDAS sobre 14 estudiantes de grado, que trabajaron el concepto de democracia. Se obtiene así 75 comentarios de texto, de etiquetado libre, analizados mediante Atlas.ti. La metodología utilizada permitió trabajar de forma eficaz la multiplicidad de etiquetas, para establecer un sistema de categorías modal, así como analizar la calidad y coherencia de los contenidos. Los resultados se consideran satisfactorios y demuestran que es posible analizar un conjunto de datos de forma eficiente y transparente, con el apoyo de dicha metodología. Lo que abre las puertas a experiencias en contextos más densos.

Authors: AVCIL Fatih , ARKAN Enes
Published: December 2022

Historical structures built by different civilizations that have survived to the present day have an important place within the scope of the protection of cultural heritage. Bitlis province, where many different civilizations lived and located in a strategic position on the Silk Road, contains many different types of historical structures. Within the scope of this study, the Ziyaeddin Han Tomb, which was built in masonry during the Şerefhans under the rule of the Ottoman period, has been taken into account. Besides, the architectural features of the tomb, detailed information are given about the current structural situation. As a consequence of on-site measurements, a numerical model of the historical tomb was formed using the finite element method (FEM) and structural analyzes were enforced. Structural analyzes were performed for the tomb, in which the macro modeling technique was applied, considering four different earthquake ground motion levels, 2%, 10%, 50%, and 68%, with a probability of exceedance in 50 years. Besides, the time history analysis was applied to take advantage of the acceleration record of an earthquake that occurred in the near region and the recent history of this tomb located in the city center of Bitlis. The structural performance of the tomb was tried to be determined by using the displacement and drift ratio obtained.
Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenlerinin Dijital Etik Kavramına İlişkin Görüşleri
Authors: ÖTELEŞ Fatih , MEREY Zihni
Published: December 2022

21. yüzyılda bilim ve teknolojide önemli ilerlemeler yaşanmıştır. Teknoloji tüm yaşam alanlarına nüfuz etmiştir. Genel manada teknolojinin özelde ise dijital araç ve gereçlerin yaygınlık kazanması ise birtakım sonuçlar doğurmuştur. Bu sonuçlar olumlu ve olumsuz olmak üzere ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Fakat özellikle teknolojinin olumsuz sonuçları yaşanılan yüzyılda ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu durum ise beraberinden dijital etiği getirmiştir. Dijital etik, dijital araçların ve internetin kullanımında etik ilkelerin dikkate alınmasının gerekliliğini ifade eden kavramdır. Bireylerin dijital etik konusunda bilinçlendirilmesi ise önem taşımaktadır. İlgili hususta ise eğitim-öğretim süreci dolayısıyla bazı dersler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Sosyal bilgiler amaç ve içeriği dijital etiğin kazandırılacağı derslerden biridir. Mevcut araştırmada, sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin dijital etiğe yönelik görüşlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, nitel yöntemle yapılan bir durum (vaka) çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Muş İli merkez ortaokullarında görev yapan 30 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri, görüşme tekniği kullanılarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. İçerik analizi yöntemi ile araştırma verileri çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular öğretmenlerin dijital etiği doğru olarak algılayıp yorumladığını göstermektedir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen diğer bulgular ise öğretmenlerin önemli bir kısmının dijital araç ve gereçlerin amacı dışında kullanıldığı, dijital etik ihlallerinin engellenmesine yönelik farklı tedbirlere başvurulması gerektiği ve okullarda dijital etiğe yönelik bir derse yer verilmesi yönünde görüşe sahip olduğudur. Bunun yanı sıra öğretmenlerin tamamının dijital etik ihlaliyle karşılaştığı ve bu ihlalleri önlemek amacıyla farklı yöntem ve etkinliklere başvurduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma bağlamında elde edilen son bulgu ise öğretmenlerin büyük çoğunluğunun yenilenen sosyal bilgiler öğretim programında dijital etiğin yer alma düzeyini yetersiz bulduğudur.
Addition of HbA1c to SOFA score for predicting outcomes in diabetic patients with sepsis and septic shock
Authors: G Panduranga , DESRKD Prasad , S Kanagula , S Sahu
Published: December 2022

Sepsis is a common cause of admissions into intensive care units (ICU’s). SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) score has been validated as a prognostic marker in sepsis and there’s a good correlation between SOFA scoring and mortality of patients. Diabetes is a well-known predisposing factor for sepsis and we studied whether addition of HbA1c to SOFA score was helpful in predicting outcomes in diabetic patients with sepsis and septic shock. H-SOFA max score (HbA1c score added to maximum SOFA measured on any day of hospital stay) was the best predictor for in-hospital mortality. The mean H-SOFA (Max) score in the died (in-hospital mortality) group was 12.21 (±2.78), and in the discharged group was 5.49 (±2.68). Next best predictor was H-SOFA score (HbA1c score added to SOFA score at admission), followed by SOFA score. All the scores had a positive correlation with length of ICU stay. HbA1c (indicator of glycemic control) was helpful in predicting mortality when combined with the SOFA score (but not by itself). These scores may therefore be helpful to physicians and intensivists for prognostication of the patient and during counselling of the relatives, including end of life discussions.

Authors: H Naseem , E Jyothi , S Thasnim , A Ibrahim
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Various inflammatory markers and laboratory parameters were identified as the predictors of severity and mortality in COVID -19 infection. However, the progression of inflammatory markers and their gender difference in COVID-19 deaths has not been extensively studied. The study aim was to analyze the progression of inflammatory markers, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in COVID-19 deaths, and analyzed the correlation between NLR, PLR and inflammatory markers. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study based on records was done on 104 patients who died due to COVID-19 infection. In addition to baseline investigations, NLR (Neutrophil Lymphocyte ratio), PLR (Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio), ferritin, D-dimer and CRP (C reactive protein) was collected for all patients on day one, day three and day five. Results: Out of 104 patients, 68 were males and 36 were females. Mean NLR was 5.7, 7.3 & 7.5 on day one, three and five respectively. Mean PLR was 145.9, 166.6 and 173.7 on day one, three and five respectively. Mean CRP was 37.6mg/l, 51mg/l & 57.2mg/l, mean ferritin was 780.9ng/ml, 852.5ng/ml &1033ng/ml and mean D-dimer was 2373ng/ml, 3149ng/ml & 3686ng/ml on day one, three and five respectively. There was a strong positive correlation of NLR with ferritin (0.598), CRP (0.663) and D-dimer (0.53) on day one and on day five, but only a weakly positive correlation observed on day three. There was a negative correlation between PLR and inflammatory markers. No significant difference in the inflammatory markers and their progression was noted between males and females. Conclusion: In this retrospective cohort study of 104 COVID-19 deaths, there was progressive increase of inflammatory markers. Serial measurements of inflammatory markers help in early identifications of patients who may deteriorate. Progression of NLR has strong correlation with inflammatory markers and could be used as a surrogate marker to prioritise treatment in resource limited settings.

Introduction: A migraine is a condition where there is a headache that can cause severe throbbing paining or a pulsing sensation of pain on unilateral side of the head. It is a primary episodic headache disorder which is due to neurological, gastrointestinal, central nervous system and autonomic changes. The prime aim of the study was to determine the levels of vitamin D associated with the severity of headache in patients with migraine. Methods: A total number of 108 children diagnosed with migraine were evaluated. Levels of vitamin D and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 were measured by using ELISA method (enzyme-linked immunoassay). Serum vitamin D levels were defined as 30ng/ml. The severity of the headache was determined according to the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment Score)., Results: The mean serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 levels of migraine patients were 18.6±4.9 ng/ml. As the level of vitamin D decreased, so the severity of the headache increased, with a higher Migraine Disability Assessment score grade (p 0.05) which shows closer inverse proportional association of vitamin-D levels with migraine. Conclusion: The high levels of headache are associated with reduced serum vitamin D levels in children with migraine.

Published: December 2022

Background: Chronic otitis media is a condition commonly presenting with tympanic membrane perforation and resulting in conductive hearing loss. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the site and size of tympanic membrane perforation with the degree of hearing impairment in patients with inactive chronic otitis media of mucosal type. Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study of 174 patients with tympanic membrane perforation at government medical college, Alappuzha from November 2017 to March 2019. Patients were enrolled based on history and clinical examination findings. Images obtained by otoendoscopy were analyzed by measuring the percentage area of membrane perforation in relation to total area of the tympanic membrane using adobe acrobat area tool. Degree of hearing loss was calculated by pure tone audiometry test and calculating the average hearing thresholds at frequencies of 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz and 4000Hz. Results: The age distribution of patients ranged from 14 to 72 years with a mean age of 41.78years. Male to female ratio was 1.59:1. The degree of hearing loss increased as the size of the perforation increased which was statistically significant (p <0.001). Posterior quadrant perforations resulted in more hearing impairment than anterior quadrant perforations. Conclusion: The size of the tympanic membrane perforation is closely related to the degree of hearing loss and posterior quadrant perforations have more degree of hearing impairment than anterior quadrant perforations which signifies improvement in hearing in patients with chronic otitis media by reconstructive surgeries, especially for perforations involving the posterior quadrant.
Evaluation of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device in terms of awareness, acceptance and expulsion
Authors: BR Bahadur , P Kodey , N Katari
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Immediate postpartum period is when women are receptive to family planning counselling. Pregnancy within a year of the last delivery increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is one method which is safe and effective method for spacing and also for limiting pregnancy. This study was done to evaluate PPIUCD insertion for its awareness, acceptance, and expulsion. Materials and methods: All pregnant women were counselled regarding PPIUCD, and those willing were included in the study. Intrauterine contraceptive device used in this study was Cu-T 380A. It was inserted after delivery of the placenta after vaginal delivery and after caesarean section using sponge-holding forceps. They were asked to follow up after 6 weeks and 6 months of insertion. Data collected was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS V22 software, and results were drawn. Results: From 1602 deliveries, 456 (28.46%) women accepted PPIUCD, and 36.32% (n=582) were aware of this method. 60.08% (n=274) had PPIUCD insertion after vaginal delivery and 39.91% (n=182) after caesarean section. The main reason for refusal was fear of bleeding (n=280) (26.81%). The most common complication seen was lower abdominal pain (11.62%). No case was reported with uterine perforation. Conclusion: This method has shown to be a very safe, effective and economical method for contraception. In India, where there is very little access to contraception during interval period and women do not return to the hospital for a postnatal check-up and contraceptive advice, this PPIUCD method is most beneficial.

Published: December 2022

Clinically type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without serum creatinine microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria lacks predictors for diabetic nephropathy (DN). We utilized a meta-analysis technique to review the literature to evaluate whether serum cystatin C may be used as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy in light of the differing opinions regarding the utility of serum cystatin C as such. PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus Database were searched using various key search terms. Studies involving T2DM patients and containing serum cystatin C levels and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data were included. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were also calculated. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of serum cystatin C for predicting DN were 0.87 (95% CI 0.84 - 0.91) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.83 - 0.88) respectively. The pooled positive and negative predictive values of serum cystatin C for predicting DN were 7.035 (95 % CI 4.30 – 11.43) and 0.15 (95% CI 0.09 - 0.21) respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.9548 and the diagnostic odds ratio was 67.10 (95% CI 28.12 - 156.84). Serum cystatin C is a significant biomarker of DN among patients with T2DM. It can also positively monitor kidney function progression and prediction of adverse outcomes among T2DM patients.
Pierre robin sequence with patent ductus arteriosus: A case report
Authors: T Srimathi
Published: December 2022

When Pierre Robin sequence is associated with many congenital abnormalities, prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential. As Pierre robin sequence can cause significant upper respiratory tract obstruction and aspiration pneumonia it needs detailed evaluation and early correction. Here we report a two years-old girl child with patent ductus arteriosus associated with cleft palate and tongue tie (Pierre Robbin sequence) who was promptly treated. This type of presentation is rare and important. A girl child with a Pierre robin sequence, associated with PDA was under follow-up since birth. The baby was mildly tachypnoeic & was started on diuretics at one month of age. Early closure of PDA with a device was done at 11 months of age. At the age of two years, corrective surgery was done for cleft palate, and tongue tie (Pierre Robin sequence). Pierre Robin sequence may be associated with congenital heart disease, like ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect in 20 percent of patients. If not treated, the airway obstruction can produce cardiac or respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, etc. Early diagnosis and timely intervention helps to alleviate the difficulties. Antenatal screening in high-risk mothers and early identification of the congenital anomaly are the only methods to detect and treat such congenital anomalies.

Published: December 2022

It is important to investigate the personal factors that affect the biological age and the rate of aging of specialists. It was assumed that life values can both raise and lower their biopsychological age. The sample consisted of 61 law enforcement officers aged 22 to 44 years (average age 32.5 years), of which 40 were male and 21 were female. The average professional experience is 10.5 years. In the survey, 3 methods were used, and correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used for data processing. The results of the study show that a number of values are factors of the biological and psychological age of law enforcement officers, their rate of aging and psychobiological maturity. The obtained data should be taken into account in the process of their psychological preparation for professional activity and prevention of stress disorders.

Authors: Churikova A. , Manova N.
Published: December 2022

The work is aimed at identifying the prerequisites for the formation of legal nihilism among prosecutors. The correlation of legal and actual models of the prosecutor's activity in criminal proceedings from the position of influence on legal consciousness of prosecutors was carried out. To achieve the purpose of the research the authors conducted an analysis of the current legislation, law enforcement practice, information posted on the official websites of the investigation and prosecution bodies, as well as a cross-sectional survey by questioning participants in criminal proceedings. The results allow us to speak about the presence of legal nihilism of prosecutors in the conditions of inability to fully perform their functions, based on the current legislation. In modern conditions, prosecutors are forced to violate the law or distort the practice of its application in order to solve the tasks assigned to them by the same law, which indicates not the professional unsuitability of prosecutors, but the inconsistency and illogic of the current legislation, the shortcomings of which prosecutors are forced to compensate with the manifestations of legal nihilism.
