Authors: Mohammed Samer Imad , Sabry Aya Thaer , Sabry Dania Thaer
Published: December 2021

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed form of malignant tumour in Iraqi women. Tamoxifen and trastuzumab are highly effective adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.

This study's objectives were to define the patient's belief in tamoxifen or trastuzumab when used as adjuvant therapy and to determine the variation in belief between the two medications in a sample of Iraqi breast cancer patients.

The cross-section survey was conducted using the BMQ-Specific questionnaire. Ninety-seven participants (sixty-seven tamoxifen, thirty trastuzumab) participated in this study.

The mean of specific-necessity scale for tamoxifen was (3.7) and for trastuzumab (4). The findings showed a high necessity for both medicines, and there were no significant differences in the scale of necessity between the two treatments. Regarding the scale of concern, the trastuzumab group's values are higher (3.35) than tamoxifen (3). Most participants who use tamoxifen or trastuzumab strongly agree with or agree with all the questions on the necessity scale with higher percentages for trastuzumab. Besides, the concern scale results showed the percentage of patients who agree / strongly agree is higher in the trastuzumab group. For the correlation between the need or concern score, the result showed only one significant negative correlation (R=-0.366, P-value=0.011) between the necessity score and the age of the participants for tamoxifen users. In Conclusion, this survey clearly showed a high level of necessity and a high level of concern regarding the use of two effective adjuvant therapy for women with breast cancer, tamoxifen and trastuzumab. Furthermore, this study shows that while the level of need for tamoxifen is higher than for trastuzumab, there were no significant variations between them.

Published: December 2021

Rotaviruses, a major cause of gastroenteritis in children worldwide accounts for around half a million deaths annually. Vaccine against the virus has been recommended by the WHO to be involved in the national immunization program.To evaluate the genetic characterization of rotavirus among children with acute gastroenteritis in Babylon province is warranted. Children complained of diarrhea with rotavirus infection detected in their stool were involved in the study. The age range was 10 months to 60 months and with retrogradechecking of rotavirus vaccine history. Rotavirus genotypes were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).A total number of 40 children with rotavirus gastroenteritis were used to examine the rotavirus genotyping distribution. The prevalent genotypes were found to be G1, G9, and G2. No significant difference in the distribution of the length of diarrhea according to genotype. Vaccinated children exhibited significantly higher percentage of G2 while G1 and G9 were presented more considerably in not vaccinated children.We detected a variety of rotavirus strains includingthe major global genotypes.Obviously, rotavirus strains are continuing to vary in Iraq. The vaccination changes the genotype prevalence and this situation may create challenges to the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccines and planning for future polices.

Possible Protective Effects of Omega 3, Diazepam and their Combination Against Yohimbine-Induced Clonic Seizure in Mice: Comparative Study
Authors: Ibrahim Manal Abdulkhaliq , Khudhair Alaa Radhi , AL-shawi Nada Najia
Published: December 2021

Yohimbine is actually confirmed in the United States to be utilized for erectile dysfunction; and recently such drug has become commonly used in body-building communities for its presumed lipolytic and sympathomimetic effects. But ingestion of such drug can bring about epileptic neurotoxic effects.

Many antiepileptic drugs can be utilized to counteract myoclonic seizure; furthermore, diazepam can be used to oppose such type of seizure; in addition, surrogate therapeutic options such as omega 3 may also be utilized.  

In this study, twenty-four (24) mice of both sexes weighing 20-25g were randomly-allocated into 4 groups (6 animals each group) as follows: Group I- Yohimbine-induced clonic seizure [mice orally-administered DMSO (10%), and after 30 min, animals Sc. injected with 45mg/kg yohimbine). Group II- Diazepam-treated as standard drug: It is Sc. injected at a dose of 2mg/kg, and after 30 minutes, yohimbine at a dose of 45mg/kg is Sc. injected. Group III- Omega 3 (40 mg/kg) is orally-administered, and after 30 min 45mg/kg yohimbine is Sc. injected. Group IV- Combination of omega 3 (40mg/kg) is orally-administered then and after ten minutes, diazepam was IP injected 2mg/kg then after 20 minute, 45mg/kg yohimbine is Sc. Injected.

The result of this study showed that omega 3 has non-optimal antiepileptic effect; where, it is un-able to reduce the onset and frequency of epilepsy tone in mice during several time periods (30-120min); and data weren’t  significantly different when compared to diazepam. But omega 3 reduced onset of epilepsy in combination with diazepam when compared with diazepam alone.  As well as omega 3 caused small percent changes frequency of epilepsy tone through 120 min when compared with other groups.

Conclusion: Omega 3 fatty acid had partial beneficial effect; where, alone it has a role for decreasing onset of epilepsy; but, its combination with diazepam had significant role for reducing onset of epilepsy against yohimbine-induced seizure model. Additionally, omega 3 alone and in combination with diazepam have negligible role for reduction frequency of epilepsy.

Authors: Tiron O.I.
Published: December 2021

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are about 11 million burns in the world each year, of which 180,000 are fatal. One of the systemic consequences of burn injuries is the so-called burn-associated hypermetabolism, the clinical picture of which includes immunological dysfunction, loss of bone mineral density, endocrine disorders, including thyroid dysfunction. The aim of the study was to establish histological and ultrastructural changes of the thyroid gland of experimental animals 14 days after the simulated thermal trauma of the skin on the background of using first 7 days 0.9 % NaCl solution. At the optical and ultrastructural levels of the study 14 days after thermal skin burn on the background of 0.9 % NaCl solution in the thyroid gland of experimental animals found: follicles – mostly large, overstretched (epithelium flat, with desquamation); cytoplasm of thyrocytes is poor in organelles, part of mitochondria with damaged cristae and enlightened matrix, available electron-dense lysosomes, apical surface smoothed; there is swelling of the capsule and trabeculae, leukocyte infiltration; components of the arterial and venous bed are dilated, there is a deformation of the lumen of blood vessels; hemocapillaries are dilated with numerous erythrocytes and perivascular edema. The detected changes cause a violation of the secretory cycle of thyrocytes, transendothelial metabolism and lead to an imbalance in the production and excretion of thyroid hormones.

Authors: Nabil Basim Yousif Haddad
Published: December 2021

Nevi, although benign neoplasms of the skin, but have a certain tendency to malignancy, which is influenced by various external and internal human factors. Predicting the risk of benign nevi against this background is an important topic for experimental research. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the skinfold thickness (SFT) in men of the first adult age with benign nevi. SFT was determined according to the Bunak scheme for men (aged 22-35 years) with melanocyte benign simple nevi (n=34), melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi (n=27), melanocyte benign congenital nevi (n=14) and non-melanocyte benign (n=17). The control group – SFT of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was selected from the data bank of the Research Center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. It was found that in practically healthy men higher than in patients – SFT on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the shoulder and thigh (in all groups of patients); SFT on the forearm, at the lower angle of the scapula, chest and shin (only in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi). Also in healthy men are found lower than in patients – SFT on the side (in all groups of patients); SFT in the abdomen (in patients with melanocyte benign simple and non-melanocyte benign nevi). When comparing SFT between patients with benign nevi, in most cases, lower values of SFT found in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi. The obtained results indicate the initial manifestations of abdominal (android) type of fat deposition in the body in patients with benign nevi (most pronounced in patients with melanocyte benign simple nevi).
Detecting Barriers Between Protected Areas to Restore Ecological Connectivity
Authors: SÜTÜNÇ Huriye Simten
Published: December 2021

Protected areas have two tasks on a global scale: First, to protect biodiversity and second, to ensure the continuity of ecosystem services. Identifying potential links between protected areas in a region and barriers between these links or restoration points is very important for the effective development and implementation of conservation strategies within the scope of biodiversity. In this study firstly, potential connectivity corridors between 10 different protected areas were determined to support the biological diversity in the Rize landscape, then the barriers that could block the ecological flows in these corridors were determined by using 100 m, 500 m, 300 m radii. Least Cost Path and Cost Weighted Distance methods were used for both analyses. The most suitable corridors have been identified between Kaçkar Mountains National Park-1st Degree Natural Protected Areas-Wildlife Protection and Development Area and Firtina Creek. Improvement scores were calculated by considering the radii determined for the barriers. As a result, the highest improvement scores at 100 m, 500 m 300 m radii were calculated as 21.1, 4.49, and 7.0, respectively, and according to these scores, it showed that there were barriers between Karadere, Handüzü Nature Park, Uzungöl Special Environmental Protection Area and Kaçkar Mountains National Park. The method used in this study is important in terms of generating protection strategies for protected areas in the Rize landscape. The results of this study will guide not only protected areas in Rize landscape, but also conservation priority planning studies.

Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho tem por objeto o estudo da efetividade dos direitos fundamentais sociais, em especial, no que concerne às políticas públicas destinadas aos refugiados no Brasil. O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar que, apesar de avanços alcançados, o problema na inefetividade da prestação desses direitos persiste em razão da desconsideração do custo destes, bem como más escolhas quando da alocação dos recursos orçamentários. Para tanto, utiliza-se de pesquisa empírica, por meio de dados fornecidos pelo Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para Refugiados – ACNUR e do Comitê Nacional para Refugiados - CONARE, relacionando-os com os aspectos doutrinários específicos, os quais demonstram a razão das dificuldades e desafios apresentados para o estabelecimento de políticas públicas efetivas. Assim, considerando as configurações inerentes ao orçamento atual, é imprescindível o fomento ao debate das questões que envolvem a implementação de políticas públicas destinadas aos refugiados para que respostas e soluções viáveis sejam alcançadas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal produzir uma análise efetiva a respeito das constituições escritas, fundamentada na filosofia política e jurídica. Para tanto, a pesquisa explora o desenvolvimento da ideia de constitucionalismo no lapso temporal que compreende o período que se estende desde o século XVIII até os dias atuais. Explora-se nesse trabalho os aspectos filosóficos do Direito Constitucional. A análise realizada no presente trabalho abrange o estudo específico de alguns Estados, onde faz-se uso de constituições escritas, e podem ser observadas crises constitucionais decorrentes das ideias modernizadas do conceito de constituição, para determinar as origens das crises constitucionais na formação da sociedade moderna e suas relações com o direito constitucional positivado. No entanto, defende-se nesse estudo, a partir do que foi analisado, que a constituição, sendo um instrumento eficiente e legítimo fruto de lutas político-sociais, pode reaver o seu status normativista de norma prima facie na hierarquia legal estatal. Pretende-se usar nesse trabalho, uma metodologia baseada em pesquisas bibliográficas em doutrinas, artigos e revistas que abordam os diferentes aspetos do tema em estudo.
The Psychosocial Impact of Diabetes and its Management in Women: A Review of Current Status
Authors: Sharma Shweta , Dhediya Rajnish Mahadya , Gaurav Kumar
Published: December 2021

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic debilitating disease affecting 463 million people which accounts for 9.3% of the population globally as of 2019. Although diabetes affects men and women equally (prevalence in men: 9.6%, women: 9%), women are more severely impacted by its complications such as heart disease, retinopathy, and neuropathy. This gender difference in consequences of DM may be due to biological reasons, it is also a reality that globally women tend to receive less intensive care and treatment for diabetes compared to men. In low-income countries, women suffer unduly from economic, political, and social discrimination, and subsequently from poor health, lack of education, and employment.

Published: December 2021

Study Design: Retrospective case series.Purpose: To evaluate the risks and causes of neurologic complications in three-column spinal surgery by analyzing intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) data. Overview of Literature: Three-column spinal surgery, which may be required to correct complex spinal deformities or resection of spinal tumors, is known to carry a high risk of neurologic complications. However, few studies reported a specific surgical procedure related to a significant IONM signal change during surgery.Methods: Multimodality IONM data, including somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP) and motor-evoked potentials (MEP), were reviewed in 64 patients who underwent three-column spinal surgery from 2011 to 2015. Surgical procedures included posterior vertebral column resection, pedicle subtraction osteotomy, total en bloc spondylectomy, piecemeal spondylectomy, and corpectomy with laminectomy (n=27) in three cervical, 34 thoracic, and 31 lumbar procedures.Results: Significant IONM signal changes occurred in 11 of 64 (17.1%) patients. SSEP and MEP were changed in 11 patients. Postoperative neurologic deterioration occurred in 54.5% (6 of 11) of the patients, and two of them were permanent. There was no postoperative neurologic deterioration in patients without significant signal change. Suspected causes of IONM data changes are as follows: adhesion/tethering, translation, contusion, and perfusion.Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, to enhance neurologic safety in three-column spinal surgery, surgeons should pay attention to protect the spinal cord from mechanical insult, especially when the spinal column was totally destabilized during surgery, and not to compromise perfusion to the spinal cord in close cooperation with a neurologist and anesthesiologist.

Prowadzenie badań nad migracjami klimatycznymi w perspektywie prawnej powinno mieć na uwadze zarówno trudności, jak i korzyści łączenia rożnych metod i podejść do istotnych potrzeb migrantów. Z tego powodu, aby właściwie wykorzystać instytucje prawne, zwłaszcza w ramach prawa międzynarodowego i jego implementacji, szczególnie ważne wydaje się zrozumienie ich wewnętrznych celów i warunków stosowania. Analiza argumentów podnoszonych przez sądy, w szczególności w odniesieniu do konwencji genewskiej z 1951 r., wskazuje na trudności w adaptacji do kwestii migracji klimatycznych rozwiązań prawnych, które kształtowały się w innej przestrzeni politycznej. W artykule podjęto zatem próbę sprawdzenia, w jaki sposób i według jakich kryteriów można łączyć rożne narzędzia prawne w pluralistycznym i odpowiadającym aktualnym potrzebom podejściu do migracji klimatycznych.

Current Trends in the Use of Works of Fine Arts in the Interior of Premises
Authors: Yasenev Oleh , Dubovyi Oleksii
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify current trends in the use of works of fine art in the interior of the premises, as well as to clarify the impact of works of art in the interi­or on the psychophysical state of a person. The research methodology contains general scientific theoretical methods of analysis, syn­thesis, abstraction and observation, as well as art analysis. The scientific novelty is to de­termine the features of the influence of works of modern art both on the appearance of the premises themselves and on the psychophys­ical state of a person. The paper attempts to identify the features of human interaction with works of contemporary art, in particular in the aspects of interactivity, relaxation and aesthetic pleasure. The article contains an explanation of the artistic techniques used to achieve such ef­fects. The analysis of works of modern painting by the artist O. Yasenev, placed in the interior of the premises, is used in the work. Conclusions. The study identified the benefits of applying contemporary art in the interior. The use of art, which is created on the border of figurative and abstract perception, is common today. In par­ticular, such art often has a surreal component, which encourages the viewer to interact with the imagination the most. This approach is rein­forced by the technique of work with a trace of deliberate imperfection, which also creates the ground for co-creation. Such work can divert the attention of the recipients, distract them from everyday worries and promote their relax­ation. The mentioned technique also contrib­utes to the visual expansion of the space of the room. In fact, such criteria should be followed by the designer when selecting works of art in the design of modern interiors.
Sustainable Fashion as a Research Object in Foreign Scientific Literature
Authors: Pokhodenko Kateryna
Published: December 2021

The concept of sustainability in fashion, having been developed on the basis of ecodesign concepts, takes an important place in scientific research all over the world. The aim of study is to analize and summarise foreign scientific researches about sustainability in fashion. The results were achieved by using methods of sources analysis, which refer to different research fields, in the context of sustainable fashion and their further synthesis according to areas. The main directions of research in each area were identified and summarized in the conclusions.

There were considered basic concept definitions – sustainable fashion and the principles of sustainable design, which are used in modern scientific works of foreign researchers. The analysis of foreign scientific sources in the context of sustainable fashion was provided in areas of: economics, marketing, management; sociology and psychology of consumer behavior; ecology; technologies based on the principles of sustainable design; design; aesthetics and art history; education; legislation; information technology. The scientific value of study. For the first time the systematization of foreign research in the context of sustainable fashion was carried out. The conclusions are given after the analysis of each area, underlining the main directions of foreign scientists` research.

Conclusions. Researchers from all over the world pay attention to the issues of sustainable fashion and explore problems of the integration of sustainable fashion into everyday life. Sustainable fashion sets up new values that actualize the issues of aesthetics of sustainable fashion in the theory of art history and design practice. However, it should be noted that the analized scientific works concerning fashion design in the context of sustainable fashion, do not reveal aspects of design related to the creative process and aesthetic perception. Sustainable fashion needs changes of existing design tools in the context of sustainable design principles. Therefore, there is a need for their further study.

Auf dem Weg zum gläsernen Staat? Privatsphäre und Geheimnis im digitalen Zeitalter
Authors: Wewer Göttrik
Published: December 2021

Die Grenzlinie zwischen Privatsphäre und Öffentlichkeit ist nicht starr, sondern hat sich im Laufe der Geschichte immer mal wieder verschoben. Gegenwärtig ist eine merkwürdige Koalition aus kommerziellen „Datenfressern“ wie Facebook, Google und Co. und auch Netzaktivisten mit der Parole unterwegs, das Zeitalter der Privatsphäre sei nunmehr vorbei. Während die einen am „gläsernen Bürger“ arbeiten, zielen die anderen auf einen „gläsernen Staat“. Danach würden Staat und Verwaltung nicht nur ihre Datenbestände für kommerzielle Nutzungen bereitstellen („Open Data“) und „soziale Medien“ im Web 2.0 nutzen („Open Government“), sondern letztlich ganz auf vertrauliche Informationen und Geheimnisse verzichten sollen („totale Transparenz“). Plattformen wie WikiLeaks haben sich darauf spezialisiert, staatliche Geheimnisse aufzudecken; die Bediensteten werden offen ermuntert, ihre Verschwiegenheitspflicht zu ignorieren und Dienstgeheimnisse auszuplaudern („Whistleblowing“). Nur so ließen sich Machtmissbrauch und Korruption eindämmen. Wenn sich diese Ideologie totaler Transparenz durchsetzen würde, stünde am Ende eine weitere Schwächung des demokratischen Staates: gegenüber den Internetriesen, die ihre eigenen Daten und Strategien keineswegs offenlegen, und gegenüber diktatorischen Regimes, in denen das staatliche Geheimnis alles gilt und das private Geheimnis nichts. Aber auch die Gesellschaft würde sich massiv verändern, wenn das Spannungsfeld von Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit sowie Geheimnis und Verrat nicht mehr in der politischen Auseinandersetzung jeweils immer neu ausbalanciert, sondern in totaler Transparenz aufgelöst würden: keine Privatheit mehr, keine Geheimnisse mehr. Die Frage ist, ob das ein erstrebenswertes Gesellschaftsmodell oder ob es an der Zeit ist, Einhalt zu rufen.
Wege aus dem Defizit. Eine Analyse der Determinanten der Konsolidierungspolitik in den OECD-Staaten
Authors: Wenzelburger Georg
Published: December 2021

Die Entwicklung der öffentlichen Finanzen in den OECD-Ländern zeichnet sich in den vergangenen drei Jahrzenten durch eine starke temporale und zwischenstaatliche Varianz aus: Nicht allen Staaten aus der OECD-Ländergruppe gelang es, die öffentlichen Haushalte zumindest zwischenzeitlich zu konsolidieren; zudem schwankt die Konsolidierungsperformanz stark über die Zeit. Die vorliegende Studie verbindet politikwissenschaftliche und politökonomische Theorieansätze und untersucht mithilfe einer quantitativen Analyse die Gründe für diese Unterschiede in der Konsolidierungspolitik. Dabei erweisen sich der sozioökonomische Problemdruck, parteipolitische Differenz, institutionelle Faktoren, wie etwa die Zahl der Vetospieler oder der Grad der Steuerautonomie subnationaler Glieder, die Pfadabhängigkeit der Sozialversicherungssysteme und das Ausmaß der internationalen Verflechtung der Staaten als wichtige Determinanten der Konsolidierungsperformanz.

Der deutsche Föderalismus ist seit den 1960er Jahren mit höchst unterschiedlichen Bildern charakterisiert worden: vom unitarischen Bundesstaat über den kooperativen Föderalismus zum Wettbewerbsföderalismus und bis hin zu den stark durch die Forderung nach Entflechtung beeinflussten Föderalismusreformen der Jahre 2006 und 2009. Der Beitrag untersucht die Abfolge aus juristischer Sicht. Die verschiedenen, die Föderalismusdiskussion prägenden Bilder werden im Lichte der Entwicklung des Grundgesetzes und der verfassungsgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung beschrieben.

Virtual environments offer innovative and realistic settings where patients can achieve self-management education and obtain ongoing self-management support from peers and healthcare professionals. Transcribed real-time conversations in an innovative virtual community were analyzed using qualitative and linguistic analysis. These virtual interactions were manually coded to identify embedded behavior change techniques and linguistic features. Results showed 13 behavior change techniques were manifested. Further, language differences were observed between behavior change techniques and social support types. Our research can provide valuable insights into the design of effective digital health interventions that maximize sustained use of virtual environments, subsequently impacting self-management of chronic conditions such as diabetes.

Published: December 2021

In Finland, the nationally unified and standardized nursing documentation model comprises the nursing process model and the Finnish Care Classification (FinCC). The aim of the study was to assess how well the further developed FinCC complies with actual nursing practices and how pragmatic and understandable it is. An e-questionnaire based on the revised version of the FinCC was sent to healthcare organizations (n=34) and Universities of Applied Sciences (n=14). Data was gathered and organized in Excel. Narrative comments were read and analyzed. The mean of questions of 17 components of both the FICND and the FICNI was over four (scale 1–5). The biggest revision of the FinCC is that different scales and evidence-based research have been utilized in the development of the terminology. Based on the findings, revisions have been made, and the new version, FinCC 4.0, will be published at the end of 2019.

Authors: Britnell Sally , Mearns Gael , Howie Graham , Parry Dave
Published: December 2021

Background: Weight estimation is critical in paediatric resuscitation, as stopping to weigh a child could influence their survival. Weight estimation methods used in New Zealand (NZ) are not accurate for the population, increasing the complexity of prescribing medication and selecting equipment. Aim: Develop regression equations (RE) to predict the weight of NZ children based on height, sex, age and ethnicity to be deployed in a mobile application (Weight Estimation Without Waiting). Methods: The RE was derived from retrospective regression modelling of a large existing dataset. Data were presented using descriptive statistics and calculation of means, limits of agreement and the proportion of weight estimates within a percentage of actual weight. Conclusion: The RE developed in this study outperformed existing age-based weight estimation methods while providing a method to ensure that weight estimation techniques evolve with NZ children.
