Falls Occurring After a Spinal Cord Injury: A Scoping Review
Authors: Marshall Kathryn , Gustafsson Louise , McKittrick Andrea , Fleming Jennifer
Published: April 2021

Importance: Falls have a considerable physical and psychological impact on people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Occupational therapy practitioners require evidence to support the timely development of occupation-based programs that can be applied to fall prevention in daily life.

Objective: To determine what is known about falls after SCI, including wheelchair users and people who are ambulatory, and to understand elements of fall prevention to be addressed by occupational therapy practitioners. We applied the Canadian Measure of Occupational Performance and Engagement to understand elements to be addressed in fall education and prevention with this population.

Data Sources: We searched eight databases using the key words falls and spinal cord injury with no limit set on dates.

Study Selection and Data Collection: Studies were included that reported on falls among adults with SCI and measured one or more of the following: incidence of falls, consequences of falls, contributing factors for falls, the person’s experience of falls, and strategies to prevent falls.

Findings: Thirty-five articles were included. The majority of the articles included information on the incidence (n = 20), consequences (n = 26), and contributing factors (n = 30) of falls. Two articles analyzed the person’s experience of falls, and 1 study reviewed a fall prevention program for people with SCI specifically.

Conclusions and Relevance: Research on participants’ experience of falls and fall prevention programs used in spinal cord rehabilitation is extremely limited. Future research on the lived experience of falls for people with SCI is warranted.

What This Article Adds: This review of evidence on falls after SCI highlights gaps in the current available evidence.

Authors: Amah* Dr. Edwinah, , Mekuri-Ndimele Dr. Joy Adanma
Published: April 2021

This study examined Inclusive Human Resource Management (IHRM) and Innovative Work Behaviour in Telecommunication Industry in Rivers State. Two hundred employees from the twenty (20) telecommunications services firms were surveyed. Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size determination table employed in the study gave a sample size (S) of one hundred and thirty-two (132). Two null hypotheses were established and a total of one hundred and thirty-two (132) copies of the study instrument were distributed, retrieved and analyzed. The Spearman’s Rank order correlation coefficient was employed in the study. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between inclusive human resource management and innovative work behaviour (measured by generating and testing ideas and implementation). As a fall out from the study, it is was concluded that a work ambiance that supports equal opportunities and treatment to all employees is a veritable approach for spurring extra-role behaviors such as the active search, generation, championing and implementation of novel ideas for the growth and success of organization. Thus, it was recommended that telecommunication firms should: Train managers-and hold them accountable—to show that inclusivity is a core competency and identify underrepresented groups’ needs, and give them necessary support and resources.

Published: April 2021

Studies of people with eating disorders (ED) have indicated that meaning in life is negatively associated with psychopathology, suicide risk, and emotional instability in people with ED. The aim of this study was to analyze the mediating role of meaning in life and its dimensions in the relationship between body dissatisfaction and the symptoms of ED, and to provide evidence that supports the meaning making model of eating disorders (MESTA, in Spanish). 292 Participants diagnosed with ED completed the Purpose in Life Test (PIL), the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-AS). Multiple mediation analyses were performed. Meaning in life was a mediator between body dissatisfaction and ED psychopathology. The dimension of Satisfaction and meaning in life had a greater mediating role. Meaning in life could be an important variable in the maintenance of ED. The MESTA could be a useful model for understanding the psychopathology of ED.

Published: April 2021

Coping styles, dysfunctional schemes and psychopathological symptoms could be factors of vulnerability that increase the probability that a person develops emotional dependence on an aggressive partner. Delimiting the risk factors is fundamental for its prevention and treatment. Consequently, the main objectives of the present study were to analyze the relationship between the above-mentioned factors, as well as the mediating role of the first three in the relationship between emotional dependence and received violence. The sample was made up of 657 women from the clinical and general population, with ages ranging from 18 to 66 years of age (M= 23.38, SD= 8.24). The results reflected the predominance of inadequate coping styles, such as desiderative thinking, social isolation and self-critical, psychopathological symptoms of depression, anxiety, interpersonal sensibility, obsession-compulsion and paranoid ideation, as well as abandonment and subjugation schemes. These factors also explained part of the relationship between emotional dependence and staying in violent relationships.

Authors: Pérez-Elvira Rubén , Oltra-Cucarella Javier , Carrobles José Antonio
Published: April 2021

Children with learning disabilities (LD) can have difficulties in reading at word level, text comprehension, writing or arithmetic. Several studies have shown the efficacy of neurofeedback (NF) in improving learning skills through brainwave operant conditioning in children with LD. The aim of this work was to show the efficacy of live z-score NF training (LZT) for quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) normalization in school children with LD. Twenty-eight children aged 10-15 years with LD participated. Ten 30-min sessions of QEEG-guided LZT using patient’s highly preferred feedback were applied. After 10 sessions of QEEG-guided LZT, participants showed statistically significant improvements in QEEG normalization and a statistically significant small to medium improvement in the Cognitive and Emotional Checklist. The results suggest that LZT-NF produces a tendency towards normalization of brain waves in children with LD, and might be advised as a therapeutic alternative or coadjuvant along with cognitive interventions.

RELIGION IN THE THEORIES OF CLASSICAL SOCIOLOGY
Authors: Jašarević Armin
Published: April 2021

As the science about society, from its very beginning, sociology has dealt with religion and its importance and function in a society. Social events and changes that have taken place in the area of Europe have contributed to bringing religion in the focus of many scholars, which shows that in the overall history of humankind it has been one of the unavoidable research topics.
This research aimed at showing how classical sociologists (Comte, Marx, Durkheim and Weber) approached the phenomenon of religion. The stances of the aforementioned scholars are presented by the means of a method of theoretical analysis. The findings indicate that all scholars approach the phenomenon of religion differently. Thus, for instance Comte, as a founder of sociology, embodies a positivist discourse through which he promotes the universal theory of religion. Unlike his contemporaries, Durkheim, claims that religion is an unavoidable society factor and that it presents an essential condition for social integration. Contrary to Durkheim, Marx argues that religion is the alienation and opium of the ruling masses who use it to establish balance. Weber, adopting a systematic sociology approach to religion, analyses comparatively religious and social behavior, and claims that religion is a radical response to specific life situations.
THE QUR’ANIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE ROLE OF EL-KALB IN GENERATING SOCIAL (IN)COHESION
Authors: Neimarlija Muamer
Published: April 2021

Since humans are essentially social beings a stimulating social environment is crucial for human development. On the other hand, anything that promotes social distance, conflict, or facilitates social disintegration can be treated as a disruptive variable in the context of overall human development.
The events the 21st century civilization witnesses point to the threat of the accelerated disintegration of the local and global social fabric. Multiple addictions, an increase in suicides, marital disfunction, tensions between an individual and the community, racism and xenophobia, insensitivity to the difficulties of the other and the different, terrorism, the continuity of wars, are just some examples of social alienation and growing existential nonsense, to which even the most developed countries have not shown resistance. The tendency of intensifying social incohesion imposes the requirement for seeking an appropriate scientific answer to the question of which constitutive element of the human being and under which circumstances has primacy in the genesis of social (in)cohesion. In this sense, one of the insufficiently researched factors of social (in)cohesion is al-kalb, an unavoidable agent within the general benefit-harm relationship from the point of view of the constitutive sources of Islam.
The aim of this paper is to elaborate on and promote the socio-cohesive potential of al-kalb, the explication of which rests primarily on the intra-Qur'anic relations. Such a goal required interpretation of reference ayats, further strengthened by relevant insights from certain areas of modern science. The research findings confirm that al-kalb, as the primary organ of human being, is the initial and most important factor of social (dis)integration and (dis)harmony. For the purposes of this paper, a methodological approach, based on a combination of traditional and rational tafsir and the application of the thematic tafsir method, was used (Halilović, 2015).

Published: April 2021

Oligometastatic cancer (cancer with a limited number of metastases) represents an intermediate state between cancer confined to a single location in the body and cancer that has metastasized — or spread — widely.
One treatment option, for which there is growing interest, is stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, also known as SABR.

SABR precisely delivers a high dose of radiation to ablate tumours at specific sites while minimizing the radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues.
SABR may be used independently or alongside other treatment options in the management of oligometastatic cancer.

This CADTH clinical review evaluated the evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of SABR with or without standard of care (SOC) for people with oligometastatic cancer and found the following:

SABR in addition to SOC may offer a benefit in terms of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
The findings for the effectiveness of SABR alone compared with SOC were mixed and deemed inconclusive.
There are insufficient data related to adverse events (AEs) at the present time to draw conclusions regarding the safety of SABR relative to SOC alternatives.

Note that the CADTH Clinical Review Report will be updated every 3 months to ensure the findings remain up-to-date as new evidence emerges.
Bupropion for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Authors: Tran Khai , McGill Sarah C. , Horton Jennifer
Published: April 2021

Switching to monotherapy after failure with a first antidepressant resulted in no significant difference in efficacy and tolerability among bupropion, sertraline, and venlafaxine.

In treatment-resistant depression, augmentation of previous treatment with bupropion did not result in significant differences in remission compared with switching to bupropion monotherapy, augmentation with aripiprazole, or augmentation with buspirone.

Switching to bupropion monotherapy or augmentation with bupropion was associated with significantly higher incidence of anxiety, decreased appetite, dry mouth, and increased blood pressure, but lower incidence of increased appetite, increased weight, somnolence, akathisia, and laboratory test abnormality compared to augmentation with aripiprazole.

Augmentation therapy with bupropion or aripiprazole may be a cost-effective option relative to switching to bupropion in treatment-resistant depression.

Among the monotherapies, switching to vortioxetine appeared to be the most cost-effective option relative to other medications such as agomelatine, bupropion, venlafaxine, or sertraline; bupropion, venlafaxine, and sertraline monotherapies were not significantly different from one another in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Rituximab for the Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis: A 2021 Update
Authors: Young Calvin , McGill Sarah C.
Published: April 2021

Low-quality evidence suggests that treatment with rituximab may be associated with improvements in clinical status, use of concurrent immunomodulatory therapies, quality of life, and various laboratory parameters in patients with myasthenia gravis, compared to before treatment. However, substantial methodological limitations of the included literature limit the use of these findings for informing clinical and policy decisions.

Adverse events associated with the use of rituximab were relatively common, occurring in approximately 25% to 45% of patients treated with rituximab. The adverse events experienced by patients were not considered serious by primary study authors.

No studies were identified that compared the effectiveness of rituximab to other therapies for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Summarized studies lacked control groups, meaning that any outcomes observed in study participants should not be attributed to rituximab alone.

There is a lack of evidence on the cost-effectiveness of rituximab for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Additionally, no evidence-based guidelines were identified.

METROLOGY APPLICATIONS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING: A BRIEF REVIEW
Authors: Momoh Stephen , Abia-Etoh Emem
Published: April 2021

Metrology, while often confused with the science of measuring weather (meteorology), is a very widely used field. Metrology is mainly concerned with (i) establishing the units of measurements, reproducing these units in the form of standards, and ensuring the uniformity of measurements, (ii) developing methods of measurement, analysing the accuracy of methods of measurement, establishing uncertainty of measurement, researching into the causes of measuring errors, and eliminating these. Although as engineers and scientists, we make use of measurement to quantify the physical and chemical properties of objects, and design systems to conform to standards based on unit of measurement, the principles of measurement science (metrology) is not too familiar to most engineers and scientists. The focus of this brief review is to bring to fore the (i) meaning and definitions of metrology, (ii) importance of measurement, and (iii) the importance of metrology applications in chemical engineering and engineering in general. Key words: Metrology, measurement, process control, process development, engineering design.
APPLICATION OF LOW-TEMPERATURE THERMAL ARC PLASMA REACTOR FOR PETROLEUM INDUSTRY WASTEWATER SLUDGE TREATMENT
Authors: ABUBAKAR ALI , Abdulkarim Bala , Kefas Ephraim
Published: April 2021

A large quantity of wastewater sludge is generated yearly. Traditional disposal methods are short of providing the much needed benign treatment. Thermal plasma is a promising treatment technique to address this problem. A 20 cm3 capacity laboratory-scale thermal-arc plasma reactor was developed using a 4.5 kW TIG welding torch and was used to treat wastewater sludge. The design was based on a DC transferred-arc torch with argon gas as plasma forming gas. The reactor was tested with wastewater sludge from the petroleum industry. The plasma arc temperature was in the range of 356 – 1694 oC at an arc current of 100 – 190 A. Two products, flue gas and a vitreous slag were obtained. A mass reduction of 36.87 – 91.40% of the sludge was achieved at an arc current 150 – 190 A, which correspond to a plasma temperature range of 539 – 1603 oC. The mass reduction increased with treatment duration from 2 – 8 min. The mass reduction also increased with increasing arc current from 150 – 190 A at an interval of 20 A. Reduction in total organic carbon (TOC) was between 74.03 – 75.83%. The metal elements in the wastewater sludge were enriched after the plasma treatment. The composition of the flue gas is H2, CO, O2, CO2, CH4 and C2 hydrocarbons. CO is the major component accounting for over 74%. The concentration of greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2 combined) is less than unity. The system was able to gasify the organics in the wastewater sludge to combustible gases and vitrified the inorganics into a slag.

Published: April 2021

MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char composite, prepared via the sol-gel method was used for the removal of chromium from real tannery effluent having an initial concentration of 40mg/l. The characteristics of MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) Boehm titration and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX). Adsorption capacity of MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char composite for chromium was 19.61 mg/g with a removal efficiency of 87.8% at an optimal bed height of 2.4cm (2.0g) for MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char composite, time of 2 minutes and pHpzc=5.4.The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption data were well fitted to the pseudo second-order model with high correlation coefficient R2=0.9911. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherm equilibrium studies confirmed that the Langmuir model best described the adsorption process of chromium onto MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char composite. Analysis of data with Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin isotherms showed that adsorption of chromium onto MIL-53(Fe)/Cow bone char composite is physical in nature.

Hydrogen has the potential to be a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuel especially if it is produced from renewable sources such as biomass. Gasification is the thermochemical conversion of biomass to a mixture of gases including hydrogen. The percentage yield of each constituent of the mixture is a function of some factors. This article highlights various parameters such as operating conditions; gasifier type; biomass type and composition; and gasification agents that influence the yield of hydrogen in the product gas. Economic evaluation of hydrogen from different sources was also presented. The hydrogen production from gasification process appears to be the most economic process amongst other hydrogen production processes considered. The process has the potential to be developed as an alternative to the conventional hydrogen production process.

The purpose of the article is to study the degree of support of Azerbaijan by the Islamic world during the 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh, to identify the supporting parties, as well as religious and geopolitical motives, mechanisms of this support.
The objectives of the article are to study issues related to the Islamic direction of Azerbaijan's foreign policy and the religious component of the Artsakh problem in the context of the Turkish-Azerbaijani policy, to identify the role of Turkey on the basis of the ideas of Islamic-Turkish solidarity, in order to create anti-Armenian sentiments in the international arena.
The article was written on the basis of monitoring of the international press and materials on this topic, an extensive study of professional literature on various sides of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In the course of the study, the authors concluded that during the Artsakh war of 2020, the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem used religious instruments to enlist the full support of the Islamic world. The ideas of Islamic, common Turkic solidarity, jihadism, as well as the potential of hired jihadists, Sunni-Shiite layers of the Islamic world were used.
From the time between September-November 2020, in parallel with the large-scale hostilities in Artsakh, anti-Armenian agendas and moods based on the religious factor and obvious ideas of Islamic solidarity were advanced and strengthened in the Middle East, beyond its borders, and primarily in the Islamic environment, which were manifested in both political and public discourse of Turkey and Ankara, also in international media and social networks, as well as Muslim clergy and government officials.
They were directed by Ankara, Baku and their allies using a wide range of information tools. Besides that, on Erdogan’s initiative and direct control, large number of mercenaries were thrust into the line of contact. The President of Turkey invested military, political, diplomatic, human, economic and propaganda resources in support/in favor of Azerbaijan. The Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem was not repulsive to inciting religious hatred by generating anti-Armenian sentiments, which became a security threat to Armenians living around the world. During the war, the Turkish-speaking Shiite Azeri elites of the Iranian Azerbaijan (Atropatene) province of Iran, broad public spectrum, high-ranking Muslim theologians around the world and some Muslim countries, such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. became allies in the formation of anti-Armenian sentiments. The victory in the war strengthened Azerbaijan's position in the Islamic environment, where Baku had spent considerable resources to gain legitimacy and involvement. It can be stated that Azerbaijan, which has a predominantly Shiite identity, was mostly supported by the Sunni world, which has a direct connection with Ankara’s unconditional support to Baku.

The objectives stemming from the purpose of the article is to study the age groups of the servicemen who took part in the hostilities, to identify the risk groups, to analyze the psychological tendencies of the «murderer» and the serviceman.
The investigation uses a number of research methods: observation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of data and presentation, Rorschach test. In the course of the research, the following conclusions were made: war participants do not always pursue the same goal, war can be a means to satisfy their killing instinct or it can bring out a previous trauma and cause a killing pleasure. It is not necessary for the servicemen to have obvious mental problems to be considered murderers and not take part in hostilities.
During the hostilities, people with different personality types are involved, which can leadto different traumas that can arise in different military situations.

The article is dedicated to the title pages by Toros Taronatsi, a miniaturist of the first half of the XIV century of Gladzor University. Many authors, such as S. Ter-Nersesyan, L. Durnovo, A. Avetisyan, E. Korkhmazyan, V. Ghazaryan, speaking about the Gladzor School of miniature, in their works referred to the art of Toros Taronatsi:. But his legacy has not been thoroughly explored to this day yet. Our choice fell on studying the art of Taronatsi for this very reason. The artist's art is interesting and attractive because it reflects the traditions of various schools miniature painting.
The main objective of the article is the analysis of the main components that make up the title pages illustration system: rectangular illuminations, titles, initials, rubrics, marginals. The study used complex methods of artistic analysis.
Studying the title pages of Taronatsi, we came to the conclusion, that there is an Armenian pre-Cilician and Cilician elements in the work of the master. Drawing parallels with the Cilician manuscripts, we made sure that the title pages contain especially Roslin elements. Comparison of the works by Toros Taronatsi and Toros Roslin allows us to call them “two brilliant Toroses” of medieval Armenian art.

The paper studies the impact of various stylistic trends of the European innovative art of the XX century, 1920s-1980s in particular, on visual arts of Iran. The objective of the study is a) to examine the activity of masters Hossein Behzad, Andre Sevryugin and Hasanali Vaziri, who taught at the School of Painting and Sculpture, founded on the initiative of Kyamal al Molq in Tehran; b) to assess the contribution to Iranian visual arts of the pioneers of innovative movement in Iran Kalal Ziapuri, Ahmad Esfandiari, Markos Grigoryan and Sohrab Sepehri, as well as the pioneers of the Saggahane movement Hossein Zenderudi and Parviz Tanavoli.
To conduct the investigation, the widely applied in art criticism descriptive, graphical and analytic-comparative methods were employed.
As a result of the analysis, it has been established that the European influence on the art of Iranian artists is predominantly to be found in the outward appearance and technical execution. While adhering in their creation to this or that trend of European modernism, such as impressionism, post-impressionism, cubism, abstractionism and surrealism, they, however, in order to preserve their cultural identity, draw upon the centuries-old national traditions.

This article examines the essential meanings of phenomenological philosophy and law school of transcendental phenomenology. Attention is paid to methodological features of phenomenological approach of legal perception. In the context of domestic legal doctrine, attention is paid to both advantages and disadvantages of this approach. Conclusion is made that phenomenology is a specific, effective methodology synthesizing diverse explorative perceptions. Phenomenology, as a theory and methodology of law, is part of non-classical legal science, separate elements of this method are used in the context of other non-classical legal approaches such as hermeneutics and axiology of law. It must be emphasized that phenomenology of law is an alternative to sociological and natural-legal perception of law and, at the same time, in its context the synthesis of these two methods of legal exploration is done to some extent. The main feature of legal phenomenology is its orientation to modern law as a sociological process that is going on in the world of “open” life on the one hand, and to potential law as a basis for universal ideal law, on the other hand. Phenomenological approach can be used as a mechanism for exploring current positive law. From such point of view, ideal legal system is discovered in any legal regulation due to which the enforcement of legal regulation is exercised.
The purpose of this work is to conduct a comprehensive study of transcendental phenomenology of law as a method of conducting legal study.
In order to satisfy the purpose set above, the following problems are introduced.
 The study of transcendental phenomenology as an approach,
 The study of transcendental phenomenology as a research method,
 The reveal of transcendental phenomenology essence as a means of methodology of acknowledgement of law.
The methodological basis of this article are the dialectical and historical methods. The object and subject of the research were observed using such general and special methods of scientific knowledge, as dogmatic, comparative-legal, legal modeling, logical analysis.
Based on the analysis made in the context of this work, suggestions are made which are directed at developing the efficiency of phenomenology as a means of conducting legal studies, as well as the accomplishment of legal modeling.

The article is aimed at studying and analyzing application issues of normative legal acts of the Eurasian Economic Union bodies in the Republic of Armenia. During the research, the task was to present the sources of law of the EEU and the role of normative legal acts of the EEU bodies among them, to reveal international legal requirements with regard to the application of normative legal acts of the EEU bodies and its content, to find out the compliance of the regulations in the legislation of the Republic of Armenia, as well as to formulate certain recommendations aimed at implementing relevant solutions.
In the course of the research, both general scientific (analysis, synthesis) and special (comparative legal, systematic, static) methods were applied.
As a result of the research, the authors concluded that the legislation of the Republic of Armenia does not regulate the execution procedure of the acts of the EEU bodies and the toolkit ensuring application of these acts should be amended. Meanwhile, the authors found that the constitutional provisions of the Republic of Armenia pertaining to some issues with regard to supranational international organizations should be amended as well.
