Detrimental effects of intimate partner violence on the nutritional status of children: insights from PDHS 2012-2013
Authors: Shaukat Natasha , Iqbal Meesha , Khan Muhammad Arslan
Published: April 2018

Background: Endemicity of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is established globally. Children are directly dependent on mothers for care and nourishment. Literature has shown inconsistent association between IPV and nutritional status of children, and no nationwide study has been conducted in Pakistan to test this association. Thus, we aimed to do a secondary data analysis on Pakistan Demographic Health Survey (PDHS 2012-13) to explore the association of IPV and the nutritional status of children.Methods: This secondary data analysis was conducted on nationally representative data of PDHS 2012-13. All four provinces, including Islamabad Capital Territory and Gilgit Baltistan districts were taken, and two stage stratified random sampling was performed. The conflict tactics scale (CTS) was used to quantify Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and its emotional and physical dimensions.Results: This study included mother-child dyads (n=1851) who completed the domestic violence module in PDHS. The lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence was almost 40% among married women of reproductive age group. About 20% of women reported emotional violence and 2.5% women reported physical violence only. However, 16% of the women reported having suffered from both emotional and physical violence. Women who suffered from emotional violence had children with significantly higher odds of being underweight (OR, 95% CI: 1.57, 1.04-2.36) and stunted (OR, 95% CI: 1.54, 1.05-2.24) respectively. IPV was not found to be significantly associated with occurrence of wasting in children.Conclusions: Policy implications towards this issue call for establishing programmes and laws to protect women and children from the detrimental effects of violence. Provision of initiatives which focus on women autonomy and empowerment via increased access to education and economic opportunities.

Published: April 2018

Background: Tobacco is a major cause of premature death and disease worldwide. Over five million people die each year due to tobacco related illness- a figure expected increase by 8 million a year by 2030. Adolescence is transitional phase of growth and development between childhood and adulthood. WHO defines an adolescent as any person between ages 10 and 19. Adolescents consist of 16% of world population. Not only being productive age group they are also vulnerable to habit formation during this age group. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence and KAP regarding tobacco consumption among the adolescents.Methods: It is a cross sectional study where sampling was done by multistage random sampling conducted in 5 villages in the rural practice area of RVM medical college, Laxmakkapally, Telangana state.Results: Study population consists of 149 adolescents between the age of 10-19 years. Mean age of study participants was 16.6 years. 92.6% of participants were males. 66.4% were affiliated to school or college. 94% were aware that tobacco was hazardous. Knowledge regarding passive smoking as hazardous to health was present only in 75.8% of the population. Knowledge regarding anti-tobacco messages was low as 69.1%. 65.8% knew that it was illegal to smoke in public places. 18.8% of study population was engaged in tobacco consumption.Conclusions: Study concludes that tobacco consumption is high among the adolescents and its similar in rural Telangana as found in other states. Even though knowledge regarding hazards of tobacco consumption is high, knowledge regarding passive smoking is low. Attitude and practice regarding tobacco consumption is not satisfactory and awareness for the same is needed.

Background: According to the United Nations, India will become the most populated country by 2050.This will lead to further strain in social and economic life. Family planning plays a major role in bridging this rapid population growth. But unmet needs for family planning prevent women from availing this benefit. Aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of unmet needs for family planning and its associated factors among ever married women in selected villages of Anekal taluk, Karnataka.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted during a period of two months among ever married women in selected villages of Anekal. A structured interview schedule consisting of questions about unmet needs for family planning and its determinants was administered to 133 ever married women.Results: Of the 133 study participants 127 (95.5%) were aware of at least one contraceptive method. The prevalence of unmet needs for family planning was 11.3%. Younger age (18-24 years), <5 years active years of married life, women having a single live child and who were a sole decision maker had higher unmet needs for family planning. Among the women who had unmet needs for family planning, the major reason reported was family and cultural problems.Conclusions: The unmet need for family planning was found to be 11.3% which is more than the state value of 8.8% (rural Karnataka NFHS 4).

Published: April 2018

Background: Road traffic injuries (RTI) are responsible for 1.2 million global deaths and rank 9th as cause of death in both the high and low income countries. Polytrauma cases make the bulk of emergencies in our centre and the victims were previously given only first aid and critical care before being referred to a government aided institute for further management due to monetary issues. After the introduction of Mukhyamantri Santwana - 'Harish' Scheme (MSHS), all the patients are entitled for cashless treatment for the first 48 hoursand this improved the quality of care they received.Methods: All the polytrauma cases brought to the emergency and critical care department for a period of 7months before the introduction of MSHS (October 2015- April 2016) and for a period of 7 months from the introduction of MSHS (May 2016- November 2016) were studied retrospectively. Data on the number of patients referred, admitted and underwent intervention during the time periods were collected and compared.Results: The number of cases that were admitted and given intervention in our centre increased considerably and number of cases referred to other centres decreased after the introduction of MSHS.Conclusions: Introduction of MSHS lead to patients receiving more advanced life support and interventions as necessary. However this cannot be generalised to all the centres as data is still lacking. Multicentric studies need to be done in this aspect.

Published: April 2018

Background: Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality and is on the rise in many countries, adding to the burden of NCDs and affecting general health worldwide. People who are insufficiently active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death compared to people who are sufficiently active. Objective of the study was to assess the intensity of physical activity among school going adolescents aged 13–17 years.Methods: A cross sectional study was done among school going adolescents aged 13 – 17 years in 2 semi urban schools. About 235 subjects were selected and administered with a modified GPAQ questionnaire which measured the physical activity of the students in METs (metabolic equivalent).Results: The median intensity of physical activity among the study population was 500 METs (IQR 360 – 800). Among the study population, 148 (63%) adolescents were insufficiently physically active (< 600 METs) out of which females were 84 (57%). Among the adolescents, insufficient physical activity was significantly higher among females and among 16-17 years than 13-15 years age group.Academic stress and no space near their home for playing were found to be associated with insufficient physical activity.Conclusions:The prevalence of insufficient physical activity is very high among adolescents especially more among females. Reducing the academic burden and inclusion of physical activity classes in regular academic schedule and proper motivation from parents are required to improve physical activity among adolescents.

Authors: Agarwal Anil Kumar , Swami Piyush Datt , Dwivedi Shatkratu
Published: April 2018

Background: Parents knowledge about immunization is India’s primary tool against the menace of child not immunized completely. The parents especially mothers should have basic knowledge of immunization in under five children.Methods: The study evaluates knowledge and behaviour of mothers regarding the immunization of 250 infants who attended Immunization clinic of Madhav dispensary J.A. Hospital, Gwalior Madhya Pradesh by simple random sampling method under the PSBH project completed by MBBS Final Part I students.Results: Brief structured interview with transient training and structured questionnaire techniques were used to collect responses from the mothers. In total 59.32% mothers were aware about the immunization aspects and only 45.8% were about the mandatory vaccines had been rendering adequate knowledge and they were not much reflective of the same when being questioned on the knowledge parameter. The study revealed that out of 250 mothers, 40% were in the age group of 21-25 years. After immunization based brief transient training given to mothers, their knowledge about immunization aspects and individual vaccines under five children was significantly improved from pre test assessment mean score 118.1±59.3 to post test assessment 224.1±89.6 respectively.Conclusions: There are several loopholes in the mother’s knowledge regarding immunization. Many of them had no knowledge about compulsory vaccines. Despite inadequate knowledge and attitude of mothers towards infant immunization, the majority of mothers had good change (42.4%) and 32.3% due to seeking of information about practice of infant immunization and individual vaccine. From this point of view, it is possible to conclude that mothers’ immunization practice was not really based on their knowledge and attitude regarding immunization of infants. Maternal education and socio economic status were significantly associated with good knowledge.
Humor appreciation in elderly people and its cognitive determinants
Authors: Daniluk Beata , Borkowska Aneta
Published: April 2018

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in humor appreciation exhibited by people from various age groups. There are still few data on how aging affects the perception of humorous contents. The literature suggests that elderly people exhibit increasing difficulties in understanding jokes. The aim of the study was to analyze and compare the level of humorous content comprehension in people in early and late old age and to identify its determinants. The participants were 109 individuals with physiological aging, divided into two age groups: group < 70 y.o. and group ≥ 71 y.o. We used interview, Mini-Mental State Examination, and the Right Hemisphere Language Battery. In the Verbal Humor Appreciation test, older seniors gave significantly fewer correct answers than younger seniors. Women indicated more correct answers and fewer absurd ones than men. The ability to produce humor in old age is significantly predicted by the general state of mental functions and higher education. The scores on Verbal Humor Appreciation correlated with scores in Mini-Mental State Examination and with scores in the remaining tests on the RHLB battery. The ability to appreciate humorous contents appears to be dependent on age, gender, and the level of linguistic functions, conceptual thinking, sensitivity to prosodic elements, and discursive abilities. The results confirm the deterioration of processes significantly involving the right hemisphere with age.
Wspieranie rozwoju mądrości. Perspektywa dialogowa
Authors: Borawski Dominik
Published: April 2018

The article presents internal dialogical activity as one of the possible ways of developing wisdom, understood here primarily in terms of dialectical thinking. The author explains the relationships between internal dialogical activity and dialectical thinking and describes the cognitive processes that accompany inner dialogs, related to imaginative thinking, attention management, metacognition, and the use of conceptual knowledge with ambiguous contents. The active involvement of these processes seems indispensable for achieving dialectic effects through dialogical activity, including the acceptance of contradictions and the integration of different viewpoints. The final part of the article discusses practical methods of supporting wisdom based on three manifestations of inner dialogical activity: identity dialogs, temporal dialogs, and dialogs simulating social interactions.

O tomateiro (Solanum lycopersicum) é uma cultura de grande importância para o Brasil, no entanto se mostra suscetível a várias bacterioses. Objetivou-se estudar os parâmetros genéticos de 43 familias F2:3 de tomateiro na resistência à R. pseudosolanacearum e R. solanacearum. As famílias foram obtidas a partir do cruzamento entre as cultivares Yoshimatsu (resistente) e IPA-7 (susceptível). Foram conduzidos dois experimentos em casa de vegetação da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, sendo um para cada espécie. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições e 45 tratamentos. Avaliou-se a incidência e severidade da murcha bacteriana, por meio de escala discritiva de notas, aos 10 e 20 dias após a inoculação. Observou-se menor influência do ambiente, e maior variabilidade para R. pseudosolanacearum do que para R. solanacearum, tanto entre quanto dentro de famílias. Para R. pseudosolanacearum recomenda-se priorizar a selecção com 20 dias entre e dentro de famílias; para R. solanacearum deve-se selecionar apenas aos 20 dias, entre familias. Foram identificadas maiores quantidades de plantas resistentes para R. pseudosolanacearum em qualquer época de avaliação do que para R. solanacearum.

Four-Valued Logics BD and DM4: Expansions
Authors: Karpenko Alexander S.
Published: April 2018

The paper discusses functional properties of some four-valued logics which are the expansions of four-valued Belnap’s logic DM4. At first, we consider the logics with two designated values, and then logics defined by matrices having the same underlying algebra, but with a different choice of designated values, i.e. with one designated value. In the preceding literature both approaches were developed independently. Moreover, we present the lattices of the functional expansions of DM4.
Involutive Nonassociative Lambek Calculus: Sequent Systems and Complexity
Authors: Buszkowski Wojciech
Published: April 2018

In [5] we study Nonassociative Lambek Calculus (NL) augmented with De Morgan negation, satisfying the double negation and contraposition laws. This logic, introduced by de Grooté and Lamarche [10], is called Classical Non-Associative Lambek Calculus (CNL). Here we study a weaker logic InNL, i.e. NL with two involutive negations. We present a one-sided sequent system for InNL, admitting cut elimination. We also prove that InNL is PTIME.

Zgodnie z Krajową Polityką Miejską 2023 kompleksowa rewitalizacja ma być najbardziej zaawansowanym procesem przemian, koncentrowanym na obszarach zdegradowanych, którego efektem będzie trwałe ożywienie społeczne i gospodarcze, poprawa jakości życia i warunków pracy oraz prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej. Duża część wójtów, burmistrzów i prezydentów miast postrzega rewitalizację jako szansę, aby dzięki tym zmianom zatrzymać (lub przynajmniej ograniczyć) proces depopulacji. Czy rewitalizacja naprawdę daje takie możliwości? Czy depopulacja jest zjawiskiem, na które można oddziaływać za pomocą działań rewitalizacyjnych i czy w związku z tym przedstawianie analiz demograficznych jako ilustracji negatywnych zjawisk jest poprawne metodologicznie? W artykule przedstawiono próbę odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania i sformułowano refleksję na temat ewolucji metodyki sporządzania diagnoz w trakcie opracowania programów rewitalizacji.

Fındık, Giresun ili ve yöresinin en

önemli geçim kaynağı olarak halkın hayatında önemli bir yer edinmektedir.

Özellikle ekonomisi fındık üzerine endekslenen şehirde; düğünler, eğlenceler ve

tatiller fındığın harmanına ve ticaretine göre planlanmaktadır. Ekonomik olarak

önemli bir değer olan fındık, Giresun halkının yöresel dilinde ve kültüründe de

varlığını devam ettirme gayretindedir. Bu kültürel öğe, doğrudan doğruya yöre

insanının dilini etkilemektedir. Giresun ili ve yöresinde fındığın geçmişinin

çok öncelere dayandığını varsayarsak yöre ağzında yer alan kelimeler,

atasözleri, deyimler, maniler, tekerlemeler, türküler, bilmeceler, kalıp sözler

gibi dil malzemelerinde fındıkla ilgili kullanımların fazla olması doğaldır.

Giresun ili ve yöresi ağızlarında fındıkla ilgili dilsel ve folklorik malzemenin

fazla olması, yöresel uğraşlarla kültürün doğru orantılı şekilde ilerlediğinin

en önemli kanıtıdır. Çalışmamızda, Giresun ili ve yöresi ağızlarında yer alan

fındıkla ilgili yöresel kelimeler, türküler, maniler, tekerlemeler, atasözleri,

deyimler, kalıp sözler, bilmeceler, sayışmacalar, dualar, beddualar ayrı ayrı

ele alınacaktır. Bu sayede Giresun ili ve yöresi ağızlarında fındıkla bir söz

varlığı oluşturulacak ve sonucunda fındıkla ilgili söz varlığının yok olmasının

önüne geçilmiş olunacaktır.

Aim:
Heart transplantation is the gold standard of
treatment for patients with medical therapy resistant end-stage heart failure.
Particularly in the pediatric age group use of ventricular asist device (VAD)
is mandatory, due to donor organ limitation and prolonged waiting lists. Materials
and Methods: This retrospective
review of fourteen patients under 19 years of age who underwent continuous flow
left VAD implantation between August 2012 and March 2018. All patients have met
the criteria for heart transplantation. HeartWare (HeartWare Inc. Medtronic)
HVAD was implanted to all patients.Results:
There were eight girls and six boys with a mean
overall age of 15.4 (minimum11-maximum 18) years and mean body weight of 42.4
kg and body surface area (BSA) is 1.4 kg/cm². The mean follow-up was 549 days.
Survival rate at six months was 90%. Six patients (42.9%) are still waiting for
transplantation on VAD support. Six patients (42.9%) underwent heart
transplantation successfully. Two patients died while they were waiting for
transplantation on device support.

Conclusion:
The use of continuous flow ventricular assist devices
became more popular because reduced dimensions along with technological
advances. In this article, we wanted to share our experience about continuous
flow ventricular assist device implantation as bridge to transplantation in
pediatric patients.

Published: April 2018

Amaç: Wernicke ensefalopatisi (WE) tiamin (vitamin B1) eksikliğine bağlı olarak gelişen nöropsikiyatrik bir hastalıktır. Sıklıkla kronik alkolizme bağlı olarak görülmekle birlikte tiamin alım veya emilim eksikliğine neden olan her türlü durumda ortaya çıkabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı tedavi edilmediği takdirde ölüme kadar giden ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilen bu hastalığın tanı ve izleminde manyetik rezonans görüntülemenin (MRG) önemini vurgulamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza kurumumuzda hospitalize edilen ve non-alkolik nedenlerle WE tanısı alan 10 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların MRG tetkiklerinde tutulum yerlerinin lokalizasyonuna göre tipik ve atipik bulguların varlığı değerlendirildi. Ayrıca eşlik eden difüzyon kısıtlılığı varlığı araştırıldı. Bulgular: Kraniyal MRG’de tipik tutulum alanları 10 hastada bilateral talamus mediali, 8 hastada bilateral mamiller cisim, 7 hastada periakuaduktal alan/tektal plak olarak tespit edildi. Atipik tutulum alanları ise 5 hastada forniks, 4 hastada serebral korteks, 2 hastada putamen, 1 hastada ise serebellum tutulumu şeklinde idi. 8 hastada bu bulgulara difüzyon kısıtlılığı eşlik etmekteydi. Sonuç: Sunulan çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, non-alkolik WE tanılı olgularda MRG’de, alkolik WE tanılı olgularla benzer bulgular gözlenmektedir. Bu hastaların tanı ve tedavilerinin gecikmemesi amacıyla MR görüntülemenin kullanımının önemli rol oynadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Salar Türkçesi, Çin
Halk Cumhuriyeti sınırları içerisinde bulunan Türk topluluğundan biri olan
Salarların dilidir.  Salar Türkleri
Çin’de, Çinghay eyaletinin Şünhua Salar Özerk İlçesi başta olmak üzere Çinghay
eyaletinin ve Gansu eyaletinin belli bölgelerinde ve Doğu Türkistan’ın İli
ilçesinde yaşamaktadırlar. Salarlar ve Salarca ile ilgili esas çalışmalar 19.
yüzyılda Rus, Avrupalı ve Amerikalı seyyahlar ve bilim adamları tarafından
başlatılmış, Gaizi ağzından derlenen metinler ve söz varlığı çalışmaları daha
sonraki çalışmalara ışık tutmuştur. Günümüze kadar ise Gaizi ağzı ve İli ağzı
ile ilgili çalışmalar yapılmış, önemli mesafe kaydedilmiştir. Salarca bulunduğu
coğrafyadaki diğer dillerin özellikle Çincenin yoğun etkisi altındadır. Çünkü
Salarca konuşma dilidir ve yazı dili olarak Çince kullanılmaktadır. Bu durum
Salarcada; Çindeki diğer Türk lehçelerinden ve Salarca ile aynı lehçe gurubunda
yer alan başka lehçelerden daha farklı özelliklerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur.  Salarcaya daha çok isim cinsinden kelimeler
alınmış ve bu kelimelerin bazıları ses değişikliğine uğramıştır. Ses değişimi,
Çincenin hem Yünmu kısımlarında hem Şengmu kısımlarında görülmektedir.
Yazımızda daha önce yapılan çalışmaların bazılarından faydalanarak sözvarlığı
çalışması yaptık ve Salarcaya geçmiş Çince kelimeleri inceledik. Çalışmamız;
Çince kelimelerin Salarcaya geçerken ses ve biçim yönünden geçirdikleri
değişimleri ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.

Background: Bone damage can be caused by various factors with treatment usually involving graft materials being applied to the defective area. Moreover, in the bone defect healing process, blood vessels are also considered to be an important energy source for cell proliferation. One of the angiogenic factors playing an important role in blood vessel formation is basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Furthermore, synthesized hydroxyapatite derived from Anadara granosa (AG) shells constitutes one of the potential materials for use in bone graft. The gold sea cucumber genus Stichopus hermanni (SH) possesses the ability to stimulate endothelial progenitor cells inducing bFGF. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of AG shells and SH on bFGF expressions and blood vessel counts within the bone healing process. Methods: Twenty four male Wistar rats were divided into three groups, namely: a control group (C), a treatment group was administered with blood cockle shell (AG), and a treatment group with blood cockle shell and golden sea cucumber (AG+SH). Defects were made on their femurs measuring half the diameter of a circular, no. 018. bur These rats were subsequently sacrificed on day 7 after surgery. The expressions of bFGF were measured by means of IHC technique, while the number of blood vessels was quantified using HE technique. The resulting data was subjected to statistical analysis using an Anova test followed by an LSD test (p < 0.05). Results: The one-way Anova test results combined with those of an LSD test showed there to be significant differences in bFGF expressions and blood vessel counts between the control group (K) and the treatment group (AG) as well as between the treatment group (AG) and the treatment group (AG+SH). Conclusions: A combination of Anadara granosa shell and Stichopus hermanni can increase the expression of bFGF and the number of blood vessels on day 7 during the bone healing process in Wistar rats.

Published: April 2018

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary gland tumor located in the head and neck region. Although complete surgical resection and complementary radiotherapy have been shown to improve long-term survival rates, the prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma remains poor. Ki-67 expression is considered a marker for the cellular proliferation rate, the detection of its expression usually being related to the aggressiveness and unfavorable prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the salivary gland. Purpose: This study was conducted to quantify the expression of Ki-67 in adenoid cystic carcinoma and to correlate the result with clinical parameters and histopathological grading in determining the prognosis. Methods: Twenty three cases of salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma were identified at the Department of Anatomical Pathology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital between 2013 and 2015. Clinical data such as age, gender, location of tumor and histopathological grading was also collected. The expression of Ki-67 was assessed by immunohistochemical means to determine the correlation of Ki-67 with clinical parameters and histopathological grading. Results: There were no significant differences between the expression of Ki-67 and clinical parameters, although a very strong correlation existed between the expression of Ki-67 and histopathological grading (p < 0.01). Conclusion: There were no correlation between the expression of Ki-67 and clinical parameters, although a correlation existed between the expression of Ki-67 and histopatological grading in salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma. Thus, clinical parameters were unusable in determining the prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma, although Ki-67 expression could be used for this purpose.

Amelioration is very important in supporting plant growth in peat land. The use of low emission ameliorant will support the sustainability of agricultural system in peat land. The research is intended to study the effectiveness of some ameliorants in reducing CO2 and N2O emission in corn planting in peat land. The research was conducted in April to October 2013, in Kalampangan Village Palangkaraya Municipality Central Kalimantan. Ameliorant materials used were chicken manure fertilizer, domolite, mineral soil, paddy husk biochar, coconut shell biochar. Ameliorant treatments applied were the type of ameliorant compositions, those were (A1) 80% chicken manure fertilizer + 20% dolomite, (A2) 20% chicken manure fertilizer + 20% agricultural weeds + 20% spodosol mineral soil + 20% “purun tikus” (eleocharis dulcis) compost + 20% dolomite, (A3) 19% chicken manure fertilizer + 9% dolomite + 72% mineral soil, (A4) 100% coconut shell biochar, (A5) paddy husk biochar, (A6) farmer’s way (20% ash + 40% spodosol mineral soil + 40% chicken manure fertilizer) and control. Experiment design used a Randomized Factorial Block Design, with 3 repetitions. Ameliorant dosage used was 7.5 t/ha. The crop used was hybrid corn. Parameters which were observed periodically were emission of CO2 and N2O, ground water level height, soil pH and Eh, once a month for 5 periods. The research result showed that ameliorant was capable of reducing emission of both CO2 and N2O in corn planting in peat land. Coconut shell biochar could reduce emission of CO2 up to 26% as compared with control, whereas paddy husk biochar could reduce emission of N2O up to 52% as compared with control.
