The Journal “Librarian” as a Source on the History of Librarianship in Siberia and the Far East of the Pre-Revolutionary Period
Authors: Timofeeva Yulija V.
Published: June 2021

The study of the history of librarianship is an urgent task of modern historical and library research. Its solution is possible if a large number of historical sources are identified and analysed. One of them is the pre-revolutionary journal “Librarian”, which differs from other periodicals of that time by its high informative content on the topic. Due to the lack of comprehensive studies of the “Librarian” journal as a historical source, this article for the first time considers this pre-revolutionary professional periodical as a source for studying the history of librarianship in Siberia and the Far East of the pre-revolutionary period. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the informative potential of the “Librarian” journal, which is useful for the reconstruction of the history of librarianship in Siberia and the Far East.

The methodological basis of the research is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity and consistency. The article uses the methods of source studies, comparative and content analysis.

The obtained results show that the journal “Librarian” is an important source for studying the history of librarianship in the Siberian-Far Eastern region. It contains numerous interesting facts about the libraries of the region, their structure and functioning, allows us to identify the sources of their financing and quantitative indicators of work, trace their dynamics, replenish the regional bibliography of special literature and restore the names of benefactors, Siberians and Far Easterners — members of the Society of Library Science.

This study fully reveals the informative potential of this periodical, expands the idea of periodicals as important historical sources for the study of the history of librarianship of the country as a whole and its various regions. It can be useful in conducting specific historical studies of librarianship of the country of the pre-revolutionary period.
Adoleszente Weiblichkeit im Grenzregime: Fremd- und Selbstpositionierungen junger aus Somalia geflüchteter Frauen* auf Malta
Authors: Otto Laura , Kaufmann Margrit E.
Published: June 2021

Die Erfahrungen von Frauen* und Mädchen* sind in den Debatten um Flucht und Migration unterbeleuchtet. Der Beitrag greift diese Lücke auf, indem er nach Perspektiven und Erfahrungen junger, weiblich gelesener Geflüchteter somalischer Herkunft fragt, die in der Europäischen Union auf Malta ankamen. Anhand von gemeinsam gelesenen und interpretierten ethnographisch erhobenen Materialien von Laura Otto zeigen wir im gemeinsam verfassten Text, wie auf Malta mit Weiblichkeit im Fluchtkontext umgegangen wird. Dabei befassen wir uns mit den Selbst- und Fremdpositionierungen junger geflüchteter Frauen*. Als drei zentrale Narrative und Umgangsweisen heben wir heraus, wie diese (nicht) über Flucht und Gewalt sprechen, wie sie mit dem (nicht vorhandenen) Schutzstatus umgehen und welche Erwartungen von außen an sie gestellt werden. In den ethnographischen Beschreibungen deutet sich Weiblichkeit mit anderen sozial konstruierten Kategorien wie Alter und Herkunft als verwoben an. Entsprechend zielt der Beitrag auf intersektionelle Leseweisen ethnographischer Forschungsmaterialien zu Weiblichkeit im Grenzregime und auf deren Reflexion, gerade auch mittels gemeinsamer Interpretation der Schreibenden.

Mapping of Conflicts of Use and Occupation of the Paranaguá Estuary Complex and Shallow Platform: Subsidies for Marine Spatial Planning
Authors: Miura Aika , Noernberg Mauricio A.
Published: June 2021

The preference for housing in coastal environments has become a human strategy due to several factors; as biodiversity wealth, geographic strategy, or abundance of fishing resources. The coastal and estuarine environment is a place of multiple uses for industrial, commercial, housing, port, and ecologically essential purposes. An effective Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is essential to establish a rational organization of the use of the marine space and the interactions between its uses, in order to balance the demands of development with the need to protect marine ecosystems, as well as to achieve social and economic objectives in a transparent and planned way (UNESCO-IOC, 2011). The present study identifies, maps, and separates the main human activities developed in the territorial space of the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex - Paraná, Brazil (CEP) and nearby shallow platform. Through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques, it established the conflict zones and their impact on the marine environment and quantified areas of environmental protection affected by human activities. The results shows the regions between Pontal do Sul and Ponta do Poço, the southern portion of Baía das Laranjeiras and the Rasa Platform classified with High Conflict levels. Approximately 19% of the administrative limits of the Conservation Units (CU) in the region and 33% of the Damping Zones (DZ) are affected by anthropic activities and uses. In this way, the spatialization of existing conflicts in a place with broad uses for different purposes, would support to define economic strategies; direct actions for public policies, and decision making. Still, it can be a tool for the mitigation and compensation of environmental and social impacts, due to human activities in the study area.

Assentment of Interest of Students and Teachers in Coastal Aspects: The Star of a Coastal Management Change
Authors: Ferreira de Araújo Renato , Albino Jacqueline
Published: June 2021

Based on questionnaires, a research was applied to students and teachers of elementary school in the municipality of Vila Velha (Espírito Santo, Brazil) aiming to verify the interest and knowledge about the “coastal zone”. The beach was one of the topics addressed in the investigation due to its importance and relevance to the city. From this initial verification, it was possible to infer about the need/possibility of incorporating themes inherent to the coast in educational and environmental education programs. The results indicated that there is a great interest in the processes involved in the beach environment, which would already allow the community to begin to raise awareness, from a young age, about the importance of their participation in coastal management programs. However, some gaps have been identified; students are still unaware of some relatively simple concepts on the subject, didactic material on the subject is scarce in schools, and field and laboratory practices involving the coastal environment are little used resources. The dialogue between basic education and coastal management can be a didactically viable path and contribute both to the acquisition of content and to the training of student-citizens more aware of their responsibilities as transforming, dependent and responsible agents for the environment. Keywords: Beach, citizen participation; environmental education, Vila Velha, Brazil.
Strengthening of Intersectoral and Intergovernmental Relationships: Learned Lessons in the Marine Use Planning Process in Mexico
Authors: Enríquez-Hernández Gilberto , Rosete-Vergés Fernando , Rivera-Arriaga Evelia
Published: June 2021

Marine Use Planning (MUP) came up formally in Mexico as Environmental Policy Instrument in 1996. Through the National Environmental Policy for Sustainable Development of Oceans and Coast of Mexico issued in 2006, the Environmental and Natural Resources Secretariat (SEMARNAT) of Mexico encourages the formulation of Marine Use Plans. Considering the regional approach of this Plans, the relationships between stakeholders such as Federal and State Government (as public administration) and civil society, are essential in its formulation stages. Under this perspective and based on the learned experiences in the federal administrations (2000-2006 and 2006-2012), a non-exhaustive review on the way these relationships have been developed, and the main problems related to the coordination process between the involved sectors, is presented in this paper. Keywords: State government, federal government, marine use planning, integrated coastal zone management, policy instrument.

Authors: López-Herrera Alba , Chica-Ruiz J. Adolfo , Pérez-Cayeiro María Luisa
Published: June 2021

An ecosystem service assessment in the Bay of Cadiz Natural Park has been undergone in relation to the effects of climate change. The ecosystems in the study area were analyzed and 3 different types were indentified: 1) beaches and dunes, 2) marshes and 3) marine environment (including the marine phanerogam meadows), and the ecosystem services (providing, regulating and cultural services) that these ecosystems offer have also been identified. The services state was valued to determine which ones are the most exposed and which the most vulnerable to the climate change effects and its possible future trends through climatic simulators has been made. The results allowed to conclude that most of the ecosystem services showed a negative trend, especially the regulation services which are more associated with the climate change phenomenon. Keywords: Protected natural area, ecosystem services, evaluation of ecosystems, human well-being, climate change.
Province of Cádiz Coastal Management Programme
Authors: Ares Sainz Irene , Quero García Pablo , Zarandona Palacio Pedro José
Published: June 2021

The coast of the province of Cádiz (south-western Spain) is a high ecological value area and great socioeconomic importance: coastal municipalities account more than 60% of the province’s population and support key development sectors (tourism, shipbuilding, maritime traffic, etc.). It is also a fragile, dynamic and complex system affected by many human pressures. Climate change is also threatening coastal areas. Its evidences are becoming increasingly clear in the province: intensification of coastal erosion processes, sea level rise or an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The Provincial Government of Cádiz has developed, with support of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition through the Biodiversity Foundation, a Coastal Management Programme with the aim to face climate challenge by integrating adaptation in coastal municipalities’ planning and management. Through a participatory process, 57 measures to be implemented in the short/medium term have been defined targeting the field of information and knowledge, education and communication, training, cooperation and assistance to municipalities and resources. In a complementary way, Covenant for the Sustainability of the Coast has been launched, as a tool for communication, coordination and inter-administrative cooperation in the provincial coastal area. Support material and capacity building actions for local entities’ representative have been developed. The Programme also includes actions to support environmental education on climate change on the coast. Keywords: Adaptation, integrated coastal management, climate change, municipality, Cádiz.
Effects and Challenges of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Beach Economy: The Case of the Tents Business in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: Valentin Laurindo Santos Julia , Vitor Prudente João , Parente-Ribeiro Letícia , Lins-de-Barros Flavia
Published: June 2021

In 2020, the rapid spread of Covid-19, a disease caused by a highly contagious virus, led many governments to adopt measures of social distancing, including the suspension of activities considered non-essential and the closure of public spaces. In Brazil, a country that is distinguished by sun, sea and sand tourism (3s), the effects were immediate in the months of March, April, May and June: closed beaches and the suspension of all economic activities linked to it. This article seeks to understand the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on a traditional sector of the beach economy in Rio de Janeiro, the “tent business”. For that, we analyzed: 1) the organization of this sector in the pre-pandemic period; 2) the legal measures adopted to contain the spread of the new coronavirus and which affected the uses of beaches; 3) the effects of the pandemic on the daily lives of beach workers 4) the challenges for the resumption of activities in the post-pandemic period. The data used in this research are the result of surveys and fieldwork carried out in the period before the pandemic and the application, during quarantine, of semi-structured interviews, via social networks, with owners and employees of tents on the beaches of the city’s waterfront. For this study, the normative measures that affected the beaches of the city of Rio de Janeiro during the pandemic were also analyzed. As main results, we highlight, first, the importance of the “tent business” in the economic circuits associated with Rio beaches, as well as the role that tents play as poles of concentration of bathers in the sand strip. Regarding governmental measures of social distance, we noticed that the beaches were one of the areas affected for the longest time by the suspension of activities and that, until the total reopening occurred in October, the activities associated with the solarium, such as the “tent business”, were those that presented a more uncertain horizon of recovery. The impacts on the daily lives of the owners of the tents and their employees were enormous, with the vertiginous decrease of their incomes and the difficulties of finding alternative occupations. These effects were partially offset by the adoption of assistance measures by governments and the creation of support networks involving beachgoers, both Brazilian and foreigner, as a result of a relationship built over the years with stallholders and other beach workers. Finally, from a comparative exercise with other situations in the world, we highlight the challenges that are already being faced for the adoption of new ways of ordering the uses of beaches in the post-pandemic world. Keywords: Coastal management, social distancing, beach workers, beachfront, solarium.

Kinematic Characteristics of Male Runners With a History of Recurrent Calf Muscle Strain Injury
Authors: Bramah Christopher , Preece Stephen J , Gill Niamh , Herrington Lee
Published: June 2021

Background

Calf muscle strain injuries are a common running injury affecting male runners and are known to have high reoccurrence rates. Currently, limited evidence exists investigating factors associated with this injury with no previous study investigating the running kinematics of male runners with a history of repeat calf muscle strain injuries.

Purpose

To investigate whether male runners with a history of repeat calf muscle strain injury demonstrate differences in stance phase running kinematics when compared to healthy controls.

Study Design

Case-control investigation

Level of Evidence

3b

Methods

Stance phase kinematics were compared between 15 male runners with a history of calf muscle strain injury and 15 male control participants during treadmill running at 3.2m/s. Independent t-tests were used to compare differences in stance phase kinematic parameters between groups and effect sizes were calculated using Cohen’s d.

Results

The group with a history of calf muscle strain injury demonstrated a significant 2.1⁰ and 3.1⁰ increase in contralateral pelvic drop and anterior pelvic tilt during mid stance. In addition, this group exhibited longer stance times and a more anterior tilted pelvis, flexed hip and a greater distance between the heel and centre of mass at initial contact. Large effect sizes, greater than 0.8, were observed for all differences. No significant differences were observed for ankle and knee joint kinematics between the groups.

Conclusion

This is the first study to identify kinematic characteristics associated with recurrent calf muscle strain injury. While it is not possible to determine causality, the observed kinematic differences may contribute to recurrent nature of this injury. Specifically, it is possible that neuromuscular deficits of the hip and calf muscle complex may lead to increased strain on the calf complex. Rehabilitation interventions which focus on addressing pelvis and hip kinematics may reduce the demands placed upon the calf complex and could prove clinically effective.
Upper Extremity Superficial Vein Thromboses Presenting as Acute Neck Pain in a Young and Healthy Male: A Case Report
Authors: Zosel Kristen L , Dummar Max K , Adams Benjamin G , Henderson Nancy C , Westrick Richard B
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose

Neck pain in the United States is pervasive and contributes to disability. While the majority of neck pain in young and healthy individuals is neuromusculoskeletal in nature, screening for red flags is necessary for ruling-out serious medical pathologies. The purpose of this case report is to describe a young and healthy male subject with a primary complaint of acute neck pain with multiple underlying upper extremity superficial vein thromboses (UESVTs).

Case Description

The subject was a 27-year-old male active-duty Soldier referred to physical therapy by his primary care provider (PCP) for acute left-sided neck pain. Prior to physical therapy, the subject had been treated with cyclobenzaprine, oxycodone-acetaminophen, trigger point injection and had undergone a D-dimer to rule out a potential thrombus due to air travel and lower extremity immobilization.

Outcomes

The subject underwent a D-dimer, Doppler ultrasound, pharmacological treatment of Rivaroxaban, and was referred to hematology/oncology to rule out systemic causes of SVTs. Evidence of subtle increases in blood pressure over the course of three months, a positive D-dimer, and symptoms incongruent with clinical presentation contributed to referral to a hematology/oncology specialist and a diagnosis of multiple UESVTs. The subject was able to return to his previous level of activity by six months and remained free of SVTs at two-year follow-up.

Discussion

UESVT events are rare and can be challenging to identify. This case report describes a unique presentation of acute neck pain caused by underlying UESVTs in an otherwise healthy and active young male.

Authors: Negrete Rodney , Simms Samantha , Gross Jacob , Nunes Rabello Lucas , Hixon Matt , Zeini Ibrahim M. , Jenkins Walter L. , Davies George J.
Published: June 2021

Background

Functional training and testing are an important part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program stressing the neuromuscular system in ways that simulate athletic performance to help determine criteria for return to sport. There are numerous single leg hop tests that have been used for these purposes, however, the validity and clinical relevance has been questioned. Many of the functional performance tests assess only the sagittal plane or forward direction and may only partially assess a person’s athletic abilities. There is a need for reliable and valid functional tests to assess in a multi-directional manner.

Purpose/Hypothesis

The purpose of this study is to determine the test re-test reliability of a novel multi-directional timed single leg hop test (T-Drill Hop Test) for use in rehabilitation and performance assessments.

Study Design

Cross-sectional reliability study.

Methods

Fifty healthy recreationally active college age subjects, (23 males and 27 females) between the ages of 18 and 35, (mean age 23.48 with SD 3.82) consented to perform the test. The subjects hopped along a 10ft. x 10ft. “T” shaped course. Subjects performed two timed maximum effort trials of the T-Drill Hop Test on each leg with an interval of 3-7 days between the two testing days. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) were calculated to determine intersession reliability.

Results

The inter-rater reliability (ICC’s) for the entire group of 50 subjects ranged between .98 and 1.00 suggesting excellent reliability. The bilateral comparison, utilizing paired t-tests, of the T-Drill Hop Test demonstrated no significant differences between the time scores for the dominant and non-dominant legs for either males or females (p>.05).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates the T-Drill Hop Test has excellent test re-test reliability. These results are important prior to validation and utilization as a clinical functional performance test.

Problems of documenting the accounting of intangible assets
Authors: Yasyshena V.V.
Published: June 2021

The situation related to the primary documents and the structure of their forms for accounting for intangible assets needs to be resolved. The existence of a number of options for the use of forms of primary documents for accounting for intangible assets, which complicates the documentation process, as the primary forms are partially collected and regulated by several laws and regulations. The need to streamline and summarize the primary documents for accounting for intangible assets and goodwill is emphasized, the order of which should be regulated by a single document. It is recommended to implement the Guidelines for the use of forms of primary accounting of intangible assets and goodwill, with a set of relevant details, which should include documents that will reflect all groups of intangible assets, not just those related to intellectual property. Emphasis was placed on the need to develop primary documentation that will reflect the operations with the formation of intangible assets that will create internal goodwill. It is noted that the use of uniform, agreed forms of primary accounting of intangible assets is also necessary to improve the quality of inspections by regulatory authorities. Primary accounting forms for inventory of intangible assets № IA-4 «Inventory description of intellectual property rights (PR)» and № IA-5 «Inventory description of objects of the right to use natural resources, property and other intangible assets» are developed and recommended to use. It is substantiated to make clarifications and introduce additional details to the inventory descriptions, which is necessary to improve the quality of information formation during the inventory. Emphasis is placed on the need to disclose in the process of inventory objective information about intellectual property objects by checking them for functional compliance, to record the working condition of such objects.
A Probe into the Implication of Education with Zhang Junmai’s Philosophy of Mind
Authors: Xiang Juhu , Wei Yongqiong
Published: June 2021

In modern times, under the dual crisis of nationality and culture, Zhang Junmai returned to the internal philosophy of “Inner Sage,” whereby he started the global exploration of “Outer King” and constructed his own categorized Neo-Confucianism thoughts based on the contents of Yangming’s philosophy of mind as well as western philosophies. Therefore, by probing into the foundation of Zhang Junmai’s philosophy of mind, this paper explores the educational significance of the view of life based on honesty, the methodology of giving equal importance to learning and doing, and the world’s point of view contained in it, which may serve as a certain reference for the current education development.

Authors: Suwari
Published: June 2021

The Dendeng River is vital for economic sustainability and viability for the community, industry and commerce around the flood plain of the river as well as raw water sources of the Kupang PDAM. However, increased domestic and industrial waste disposal along the river has caused severe pollution. One way to maintain the quality of the river is by continuously monitoring the pollutants and applying technology control as well as controlling strategy. The aim of the research mainly is to establish the water quality status of Dendeng River by water pollution Index method based on parameter physics and chemistry, i.e. pH,  DO, COD, BOD, TSS, TDS, NH3-N, NO2-N, NO3-N, and PO4-P. The research was carried out based on field survey and sample examined in situ and in laboratory. The removal of water sample from Dendeng River conducted based on composite sampling as many as six point locations of Dendeng River as representative of upstream up to downstream zone. The quality status of Dendeng River is in good condition to lightly polluted with a pollution index value of 0.6 to 1.52. Value of the DO, BOD, COD, and phosphate content were higher than the allowable class 1 standard.  The Water Quality Index value of Dendeng River was 86.67, which is included in the good water quality class.

Contemporary photographic practice has advanced into a broad territory of representational flux and modalities. This is a stimulating moment for lens-based practitioners and practice-led researchers willing to explore expanded modes of academic inquiry connected the medium of photography. In this article I draw key methodological insights from my Practice-led PhD project Place Imaginaries: Photography and Place-making at Te Awa River Ride. I explore relationships between photography and place-making and how photography is embedded within place-making processes. As a photographer and artist I developed a methodology based on photography practice and the iteration of curated bodies of photographic work. Te Awa River Ride is my research locale, a shared pathway that edges the banks of the Waikato River in the central North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. Photography practice or lens-based practice is located at the core of my methodological research approaches; a space, which informs both theoretical and practice-led research developments en route to expanded critical modes of academic inquiry.

Published: June 2021

Background: Subjects with a unilateral transtibial amputation (UTA) that have used prosthesis for over five years have a higher occurrence rate of osteoarthritis at the knee and hip joints of the intact limb. Objective: To research the joint internal moments of the hip, knee, and ankle in the sagittal and frontal planes during gait in persons with UTA. Methods: 25 individuals with UTA (50.26 years ± 13.76) and 25 subjects without amputation (46.71 years ± 13.76) participated in this study. Gait analysis was carried out using a Vicon® Motion System (Oxford Metrics, Oxford, UK) with eight 100 Hz cameras with infrared strobes, two 1000 Hz AMTI® force-plates. Results: People with UTA walk with a greater hip extensor moment in both intact and prosthetic limbs. The hip abductor moment was lower on the prosthetic limb compared to the intact limb and the control group. At the knee joint, the subjects with UTA walked with a reduced knee extensor and valgus moment on their prosthetic limb compared to the control group. At the ankle joint, the statistical analysis showed that the individuals with UTA walked with a reduced plantarflexor moment during the stance period on the intact limb compared to the people without amputation. Conclusions: Subjects with UTA walk with a different joint kinetic pattern in the sagittal and frontal planes compared to non-disabled individuals.
Conservative Treatment for Primary Metatarsalgia
Authors: Amaha Kentaro
Published: June 2021

Metatarsalgia is one of the most common causes of forefoot pain, and it is characterized by pain in the front part of the foot under the head of the metatarsal bones. Primary metatarsalgia is idiopathic, but it has been suggested to be related to forefoot plantar compression. Because of the various causes of metatarsalgia, there is the need to thoroughly consider the etiology of metatarsalgia to find novel, effective, and conservative treatments for metatarsalgia to avoid surgical treatment. Pressure reduction or redistribution can be achieved using toe exercise, flat shoe inserts, metatarsal pads, custom-molded inserts, and rockerbars. There was no need for one treatment. If toe function was poor, toe exercises were recommended. If dorsiflexion of the ankle joint was limited, the Achilles tendon was stretched. If the pain was localized to the plantar aspect of the 2nd MTP, a decompression insole was applied. If the pain was limited to the plantar aspect of the 2nd MTP, a decompression insole was worn. If swelling occurred, anti-inflammatory drugs were indicated to reduce inflammation. The combination of the two was appropriate for this condition. Toe exercises can improve balance and are worth trying. An in-depth understanding of the various etiologies of metatarsal and toe deformities is essential for successful treatment.

This study was conducted to provide local data regarding the results and post-operative complications after single-stage resection and anastomosis for acute sigmoid volvulus, without intra operative colonic lavage. Study Design: Descriptive Cross Sectional. Setting: DHQ Charsadda. Period: May 2017 to December 2019. Material & Methods: This clinical study was done on 50 patients who presented with the signs and symptoms of acute sigmoid volvulus excluding those with complications of the illness such as gangrene, perforation and peritonitis. Surgery for all patients was carried out under General anaesthesia. All the patients underwent emergency resection and primary anastomosis, without mechanical bowel preparation. Data were collected regarding post operation complication and analysis by using SPSS version 23. Chi square test was used to compare at level of significance <0.005. Results: Median age of patients was 50 years with male to female ratio 5:3. Seven patients presented with wound infection, one dehiscence while zero Anastomotic leakage and zero death postoperative recorded. Conclusion:  Single stage resection and primary anastomosis without preoperative colonic lavage for acute sigmoid volvulus is a simpler and short procedure with low mortality and morbidity rates.

Objective: To determine the frequency of post-operative complications of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients, using the Modified Clavien Classification System (MCCS). Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Urology Department, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi. Period: 26th May, 2019 to 25th Nov, 2019. Material & Methods: A total number of 162 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia planned for TURP were included in this study and Post-operative complications data was collected, and classified according to the Modified Clavien Classification System (MCCS). Patient’s demographics and other parameters like prostate volume, operative time, mean prostatic tissue resected and hospital stay was collected. Results: Mean age was 63.32±8.36 years. Mean prostate volume was 56.99±13.25 grams. Mean operative time was 26.55±9.46 mins. Mean prostate tissue resected was 16.75±12.09 grams. Mean hospital stay was 1.27±0.60 mins. Grade I complication was occurred in 06 (3.70%) patients, grade II in 03 (1.85%) patients, grade III in 00 patients, grade IV in 01 (0.62%) patients and grade V in no patient. While there were no complications in remaining 152 (93.83%) patients. Conclusion: Clavien–Dindo classification system can be easily applied by urologists to grade the post-operative transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) complications. We observed that TURP is a very safe procedure for surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and is having low morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To determine the frequency of extra articular manifestations in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients at independent university hospital Faisalabad. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Rheumatology Division of Internal Medicine Independent University Hospital Faisalabad. Period: January 2019 to December 2019. Material & Methods: Consecutive Three hundred and twenty-three adult patients of either sex, of age between 20-60 years with baseline RA fulfilling the 2010 criteria of American College of Rheumatology. Extra articular manifestations were assessed. Chi square test was used to compare the frequency of extra articular manifestations among different disease duration, age groups, seropositivity and disease score. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 323 patients with RA were assessed in this study. Extra articular manifestations were assessed according to clinical presentation. 15.2% (49) patients were found to have lung involvement with predominant interstitial lung disease. Rheumatoid nodules were found in 9.9% (32) patients. 3rd most common extra-articular manifestation was sicca syndrome, seen in 3.7% (12) patients followed by neurological 2.2% and cardiac was 1.5%. Other extra-articular manifestations were seen in 2.8% of patients. Conclusion: it is very important to assess the extra articular manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis. Early assessment and early intervention can decrease the disease morbidity and mortality.

Steganography art is a technique for hiding information where the unsuspicious cover signal carrying the secret information. Good steganography technique must be includes the important criterions robustness, security, imperceptibility and capacity. The improving each one of these criterions is affects on the others, because of these criterions are overlapped each other.  In this work, a good high capacity audio steganography safely method has been proposed based on LSB random replacing of encrypted cover with encrypted message bits at random positions. The research also included a capacity studying for the audio file, speech or music, by safely manner to carrying secret images, so it is difficult for unauthorized persons to suspect presence of hidden image. Measures calculations of SNR, SNR segmental, SNR spectral, MSE and correlation show that, audio music cover file (2channales) is the safest uses as arrier with replace the 9 number of LSB without noticeable noise. Bits of secret message can be hiding capacity reach up to 28 % of the total music cover audio size and the three type's measures of SNR are 32, 28 and 31 dB. For speech cover audio the replacing LSB is safely uses at LSB bits number 6, where the hiding capacity is reach up to 37 % of size speech cover audio at 37, 36 and 39 dB for three type's measures of SNR. Correlation of cover samples was did not effected as a result of hiding secret image, where its value is up to 0.99 for all hiding operations.

From the perspective of the market as a process, the market only exists to the extent that exchanges take place. So, what is better in times of social isolation: intervene to ensure that the market works or let the market freeze freely? Moreover, to what extent is it possible to intervene in the market in times of pandemic, preserving the principles of economic freedom? Based on the principles of cooperation and economic calculation proposed by Mises, the objective of this paper is to analyze the possibilities of public policy in a situation of social isolation. Among the main public policy devised in this time of the pandemic, the following measures have provided the continuity of the market process: credit, tax deferrals, and emergency assistance or paycheck protection program. The concern with the preservation of the economic calculation extends to all supply chain linkages, including final customers, for to companies continue to do their economic calculation.
Die Aktualität des Agilen

Published: June 2021

Die Anwendbarkeit des Agilen Manifestes in digitalen Dienstleistungsunternehmen ist bisher kaum in den Fokus einer praxisorientierten Theorie genommen worden, Gleiches gilt in diesem Kontext auch für die Aktualität agiler Werte und Prinzipen. Im Rahmen meiner Forschung untersuche ich deshalb, wie digitale Dienstleistungsunternehmen das Agile Manifest der Softwareentwicklung anwenden und ob und wie sie sich auf dieser Basis agil transformieren können. Die Beantwortung meiner Forschungsfrage ist für die Praxis sehr bedeutsam. Viele Unternehmen spüren die transformatorischen Anforderungen der Digitalisierung und suchen, teilweise verzweifelt, neue Wege. Mit Blick auf die agile Welt fehlt ihnen allzu oft das Handwerkszeug, gerade wenn es darum geht, erste agile Schritte zu wagen. Eine Anleitung, wie Agilität auf Basis des Agilen Manifests der Softwareentwicklung in Unternehmen umgesetzt werden kann, könnte für viele Unternehmen eine Hilfestellung darstellen.
