Authors: Yıldırım Merve , Aydoğan Sibel
Published: December 2023

The rapid development of technology, the increase in the number of brands in global and local markets, and the creation of related products and services in global markets have intensified the competitive environment between businesses. It has become crucial for businesses to create authentic brands that are original, strong, distinguishable, and memorable for customers to attract the attention of them against numerous competitors and various alternatives. While perceiving a brand as authentic provides a competitive advantage to the brand, it also contributes to love felt by consumers for the brand, the image of the brand from the point of consumers and the recommendation of the brand to other consumers. In this context, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of brand authenticity on brand love, brand image and positive word-of-mouth communication and to investigate the mediating role of brand love and brand image in the relationship between brand authenticity and positive word-of-mouth communication. The universe of the study consists of consumers who live in Turkey, are over 18 years old and purchase white goods. 410 valid surveys were collected using convenience sampling method and online survey technique in the study. As a result of the analysis, it has been observed that brand authenticity has a meaningful impact on brand love, brand image and positive word-of-mouth communication. Moreover, it was determined that brand love and brand image has mediating role in the effect of brand authenticity on positive word-of-mouth communication.

Published: December 2023

This article presents an overview of Project ELEECT (English Learners’ Educational Excellence Capitol Teacher Training Project), a U.S. Department of Education-funded program designed to prepare teachers in Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Pedagogy (CLRP) for multilingual learners (ML). The purpose of Project ELEECT is to promote educational justice for MLs by revising a Master of Arts + ESL Licensure program for pre-service teachers and creating a professional development program for in-service teachers. It prepares pre-service and in-service teachers of MLs in CLRP through teacher research, and specifically offers a novel professional learning tool, which we call Impact on Learning Studies (IOLS). This teacher research tool represents a framework for the systematic and intentional self-study of their teaching practices. In this article, we lay the foundations for a research agenda that investigates pre-service and in-service teachers’ understanding and implementation of CLRP, documents concrete examples of CLRP in various classroom contexts, and examines the efficacy of teacher research initiatives to prepare teachers in CLRP. Project ELEECT prepares teachers to invite students’ cultural and linguistic experiences into their classrooms, create spaces for CLRP, and foster critical consciousness in learning settings, thus taking a major shift towards cultivation of anti-racist dispositions in education.

The communicative function contributes to the formation of three aspects that make up the nature of language (the ideological tool; the signic nature of language). These three aspects are intimately linked and inseparable on the common basis of the social nature of language. To understand the social nature of language, it is first necessary to understand the functions of language. Starting from the above statement, we choose to learn the communication function of the language as an object to gradually approach other functions of the language and the ultimate goal is to understand the nature of the language.

A atenção Pré- Natal é fundamental para a saúde materna e fetal, com o Ministério da Saúde (MS) recomendando a realização de, no mínimo, seis consultas presenciais, sendo a primeira a mais importante. A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou uma situação de epidemia devido ao vírus SARS-CoV-2, causador de uma doença respiratória aguda (COVID-19), que se espalha facilmente em locais fechados, como consultórios médicos. Entre os grupos de risco, incluem-se as mulheres grávidas, o que pode prejudicar o acompanhamento adequado do pré-natal e levar ao seu abandono. Diante do exposto, procurou-se identificar as estratégias disponíveis para acessar a atenção Pré- Natal na rede pública durante a pandemia de COVID-19. O estudo se baseou em uma revisão bibliográfica não sistemática de caráter analítico-descritivo sobre as estratégias de acesso ao pré-natal na rede pública em tempos de pandemia. Foram encontrados 17 artigos na base de dados do Scielo, dos quais 6 foram selecionados; enquanto na base do Google Scholar, foram selecionados 4 artigos que atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Além disso, foram coletadas informações de sites governamentais do Estado do Pará, que demonstraram alta demanda na rede pública durante a pandemia. Vários fatores dificultam o acesso e o acompanhamento do pré-natal, o que pode levar a resultados desfavoráveis para as mães e os recém-nascidos. Além disso, os cuidados às mulheres grávidas não devem ser interrompidos durante o pré-natal, desde que sejam tomadas as medidas de higiene recomendadas pela OMS. Foi observado que os programas de assistência na Atenção Primária foram negligenciados pelas pacientes e não conseguiram atender à demanda nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). Portanto, a adoção da telemedicina, a conscientização das gestantes sobre os riscos do abandono do pré-natal, a desmistificação de conceitos errados, o agendamento de consultas espaçadamente intercaladas e a implementação das medidas de higiene recomendadas se mostraram estratégias eficazes para o acesso ao pré-natal na rede pública.

Authors: Akafa Tensaba Andes , Okeke Anthonia , Oreh Ada
Published: December 2023

Physician emigration is escalating in developing countries. In Nigeria, this massive brain drain has gained the popular moniker ‘Japa syndrome’. This survey used a cross-sectional design to determined the factors causing physicians’ brain-drain from Nigeria. A convenience and snowball sampling were used, and 295/400 attendees of a cardiovascular symposium responded to comprehensive self-administered questionnaires (73.7% response rate). Most participants (79.4%) were aged 20-39 years (Mean 35 years SD ±10.17); female (58.6%); married (58.4%) and a family size below six (73.6%). About 85.8% were employed, and 55.9% worked in private establishments. The top three attractive destinations were UK (50.5%), Canada (43.3%), and USA (37.9%). The most frequent push factors found were low remuneration (71.2%), insecurity (62.7%), and difficult working environments (55.9%). Postgraduate-training frustrations (38.6%), and limited educational opportunities for oneself (37.6%), children (26.4%), or spouse (19.7%) were the least. High earning potential (76.6%), career growth opportunities (70.8%), and high-level equipment/technology (54.9%) were the most frequent pull factors. This practice threatens Nigeria's health system and should be addressed multi-sectorally. To reverse this ugly trend, we have to boost physicians’ remuneration, improve work environments and security. Providing innovative education and digital technology would also promote physicians’ retention.

Terminal illness is a patient's condition that has reached the chronic stage and the doctor's diagnosis states that the patient can no longer recover. In reality, many terminal illness patients try to recover through the treatment process they follow. This research aims to discover the description and lives of terminal illness patients at the HKBP Hospital Balige and the factors that influence their lives. By using descriptive type qualitative research methods, it was found that the dynamics of the lives of terminal illness patients were at a fragile stage. A weak self-condition brings feelings of sadness and fear of death. There are two factors that influence the dynamics of the lives of terminal illness patients, namely internal factors, namely the decline in body quality and external influences of support from the family environment, community and relationship with God. The impact of pastoral care on the dynamics of life of terminal illness patients is a positive impact, patients are able to express their feelings. The negative impact is that patients have not accepted the conditions for traditional treatment and rarely receive medical treatment.

When Bharatanatyam Moved from the Popular to the Classical
Authors: Mahadevan Deepa
Published: December 2023

This paper is abstracted from my larger research where I study the aesthetics of Bharatnatyam through the axis of spectacularization of the Bharatanatyam body at different points of its history. This paper specifically deals with the period between the end of 1950s and 1970s which set off the rupture from the popular aesthetics in the movies to the classical aesthetic in the mainstream Bharatanatyam world outside of it. This period led to the complete transition of transmission techniques to a tertiary model of learning from its primary habitus in hereditary practitioner households spearheaded as early as 1936 by Rukmini Arundale through her institution of mass learning and transmission, Kalakshetra. Several dance schools mushroomed among the Bharatantyam middle and upper class, largely populated by upper caste, brahmin female students of hereditary Nattuvanar teachers following the lead set by Arundale’s tertiary model of transmission. This period was punctuated by a loss of dancing bodies, practices and methods that irrevocably impacted how dance is being transmitted, presented and assimilated by the Bharatnatyam field today.
Tale of a Choreographer, Her student, River and an endangered Heritage
Authors: Aslam Feriyal Amal
Published: December 2023

Choreographing in Pakistan since the 50’s, the country’s senior most 90+ years young classical dance maestro Indu Mitha has made trailblazing contributions within the Kalakshtera Bharata Natyam using North Indian music, interesting and contemporary content, while also producing more tableau forms of dance.

In one of her recent solo pieces in the later style, titled “Qaseeda-i-Ilm of Jamal” or “An Ode to Wisdom and Beauty” Indu engages with symbolisms of a Hindu goddess of knowledge and Aesthetics_Saraswati and pays tribute to a forgotten dried up river of the same name. Indu Mitha allows the author, for whom and on whose body the dance is made, to bring in the forgotten river in her engagement with people’s histories of the land of present-day Pakistan and eventually facilitates her accessing of and embodying a pluralistic space of inter faith harmony which was occluded.
Roof/Room Pieces: An Ethnography of Lockdown Lives, and Digital Perfor- mances of Rabindranritya
Authors: Biswas Debanjali
Published: December 2023

This essay is an exploration of precarity and sociality within performing arts in India. It analyses dances made digitally for audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-21) and engages with scholarly literature and movement system with reference to Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) and forms of dance identified as rabindranritya. Interpreted through interdisciplinary research methods of digital ethnography, questionnaires, content analysis and dance studies, the essay aims to understand why some of us continued to dance through the global pandemic. I focus on YouTube as a site of research as we realize that technology’s relationship with human and arts have now evolved and ‘liveness’ could be optional. I question various forms of precarity in arts industries through respondents’ answers and observe what notions of sociality are exchanged between the performer and their audience. I bring to light the mundane and vibrant of the quotidian lockdown lives of performers who remained cloistered at home, but with cameras on them, how they seized the pandemic precarity and continued dancing with a sense of immediacy and new kinds of intimacy, communicating their imaginations and emotions and bridging social- temporal-spatial distances.
Diabetes Self-Efficacy and Its Relationship with Self-Care and Glycaemic Control Among Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Prianka , Biswas Atanu , Biswas Gourab
Published: December 2023

Context: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus burden is high in the elderly. Despite effective control measures, complications are aggravated due to lack of self-efficacy. The aim is to assess the role of self-efficacy in influencing self-care and glycaemic control.
Methodology: This was an observational, analytical study among elderly diabetics attending Medicine OPD in a tertiary- hospital. 318 patients were enrolled by interviewing every fifth patient on three randomly chosen days per week. Data collection was done using pretested, validated schedule followed by statistical analysis using bivariate, binary logistic and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Mean age was 59.4 ± 6.5 years, 16.9% patients had glycaemic control. Mean self-efficacy and self-care scores were 5.6 + 3.1 and 2.6 + 1.7 respectively. Multiple linear regression showed higher self-efficacy scores (b =0.14; 95% CI: 0.11, − 0.16), male gender (b =2.01; 95% CI: 0.29-3.74;), glycaemic control (b=-1.81, 95% CI -0.01, - 1.98) and positive family history (b= 3.34; 95% CI 1.23-3.11), were significantly associated with better self-care. Self-efficacy predicted good glycaemic control (AOR= 0.9, SE=0.01; p=0.03) while hypertensives were 2.88 times more likely to have poor glycaemic control (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Self-efficacy was positively associated with better self-care and glycaemic control among elderly diabetics.

Background: Text neck syndrome can cause cervical degeneration in addition to other developmental, musculoskeletal, and social complications. The aim of the current study is to examine the association between smartphone usage patterns and demographics with cervical spine joint proprioception in adults with text neck syndrome (TNS).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was chosen to investigate the association between sociodemographic and smartphone usage patterns with cervical joint proprioception. A validated smartphone usage pattern questionnaire was administered to 125 participants who used smartphones for more than three hours a day and suffered from TNS, and all samples underwent cervical proprioception testing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and independent t-tests.
Results: The result shows that there was a significant association between gender, education, BMI, phone usage hours and cervical proprioception (p<0.05). However, no significant association was found with smartphone usage pattern and cervical proprioception.
Conclusions: It is concluded that smartphone use can negatively impact cervical proprioception. Smartphone users are advised to be aware of these potential health risks and take steps to reduce them to achieve better health and well-being.
The interaction of emerging technologies with the legal field
Authors: Topor Sorin
Published: December 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently perceived as the most disruptive emerging technology, with more and more members of contemporary society seeing it as a significant driver of job loss. Without understanding the opportunities to transform labor relations through the emergence of new professions and the abandonment of those professions that can be replaced by automation, technologies based on artificial intelligence are considered a formidable adversary of humanity and not a tool created to production processes support. On the other hand, more and more companies are implementing emerging technologies to automate production processes, to optimize management, to implement effective security solutions and to diversify communication.

In this context, we aim to analyse how and in what way emerging technologies will interact with the legal field and propose a picture of future work reports. It is becoming increasingly clear that social resilience also requires an adequate legal framework, able to adapt to the new challenges caused by the digitization of the labor market.

The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics - ICI Bucharest is concerned with scientific research and applied development, actively involved in ensuring the cyber security of the identity of any person, natural and legal, and through the solutions for the sustainability of the digitalized society, it supports the national effort to ensuring cyber security, an important part of national security.
Collection Development and Management in the Academic Libraries in the Modern Era: An Overview
Authors: Goswami Mamta
Published: December 2023

Every library collection ought to be created with a specific objective in mind. The collection may have been produced primarily for research and instructional purposes in an academic library setting. Information that is available electronically via the use of computer technology has increasingly complemented traditional media for information, such as books and microfilm, in recent years. This implies that the selection criteria and collection parameters for these new media forms must be included in the current collection development policy for an academic library. In order to match its collection development efforts with the evolving landscape of digital librarianship in the twenty-first century, an academic library must take into account a number of concepts and issues, some of which are examined in this paper.
Hyper reality, Discursive Power and Resistance in Don Delillo's White Noise
Authors: Al-Shamarti Ahlam Dhahir Mohsin
Published: December 2023

The exertion of power is interwoven with the concept of the loss of the real in Don DeLillo’s White Noise (1985). The present study aims to survey the relations between power and loss of the real in this novel based on Jean Baudrillard's postmodern theories of hyperreality and simulation, and Michel Foucault's theories of power discourses and resistance. As a qualitative, research-based study, this article highlights discourses of power like media, advertising, supermarkets and medical technology to show how reality is concealed and hyperreality takes its place in the novel. According to Foucault, discourses generate power. It is discussed that discourses of power dominate people and they successfully pretend to be the only source of validation. It shall be indicated that the Gladneys are influenced by such exertions of power. However, Jack Gladney resists the power and tries to make other characters aware of the manipulative power of media, advertisements and medical technology which produces a fake drug called Dylar. Besides, Murray resists the persuasive power of advertising of supermarkets by not buying the advertised brands and products which distorts the reality behind consumerism of postmodernism. Therefore, the findings of the study show that there are significant relations between the exertion of power and the loss of the real in White Noise (1985).

Kunst und Naturwissenschaften werden häufig inhaltlich und methodisch als Gegensätze wahrgenommen. Durch mein persönliches Interesse an beiden Bereichen, mein gleichzeitiges Studium von Kunst und Chemie bin ich zu der Überzeugung gelangt, dass beide durch die gegenseitige Kenntnis von Denk- und Arbeitsweisen bereichert werden. Die Chemie liefert Material, aus dem Kunst entstehen kann, und die Naturwissenschaften erschließen der Kunst neue Themenbereiche. Seit über 10 Jahren verfolge ich das Ziel, mit künstlerischen Mitteln bildhafte Vorstellungen zu erzeugen, die zur Lösung naturwissenschaftlicher Probleme beitragen können.

Kontinuitas Budaya Mengemis Pada Transformasi Kampung Barak ke Kampung Baru
Authors: Nyimas Zahratul Azizah  , Marshanda Sephira Harpy  , Sunkina Niswatin
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of begging, which emphasizes the hope of other people's compassion by selling the image of 'poverty', has become a sustainable social ecosystem that is unbroken from generation to generation because it has become a separate 'lifestyle' which is then interpreted by the perpetrators as part of a "profession". The stigma then explores into a hereditary habit that is cultivated in a social environment that makes the phenomenon of begging the main livelihood and becomes part of the 'lifestyle'. Begging culture as mentioned above occurs in one of the social environments in Bondowoso Regency, East Java, which for generations has continued the ecosystem of begging culture and is commonly known as "Kampung Barak" which has now been transformed empirically and the area is now named "Kampung Baru", but unfortunately the continuity of begging culture is still maintained. The social ecosystem attracts the author's attention to explore the phenomenon of an uninterrupted begging culture (continuity) that occurs in the transformation of "Kampung Barak" to "Kampung Baru". This research was conducted using an ethnographic approach that studies the culture and daily life of a group or community with the aim of understanding the norms, values, and practices applied in the context of cultural things. Thus, it is hoped that this research can explore and understand in depth what causes the continuity of begging culture in the transformation of "Kampung Barak" into "Kampung Baru" and be able to provide solutions to break the begging culture ecosystem in the area.

The climatic aspects influence the physicochemical characteristics of the grapes, interfering in the quality of the grapes, mainly in the period of cluster maturation. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of climatic conditions and climatological variables, correlating with the physicochemical quality of viniferas Chardonnay and Tannat, from the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 harvests, to evaluate a possible interference in the composition of these grapes, and consequently, in the wines to be produced, in the municipality of Dom Pedrito, Region of the Campanha. The Chardonnay and Tannat grapes were harvested at the stage of full maturation, and then physicochemical analysis were carried out to assess the quality of the must: SS (°Babo, °Brix), pH, Total acidity, Sugar and Probable alcohol. Climate data were collected 90 days before the date of harvest, for each cultivar, these being maximum, average and minimum temperatures and precipitation for each day. All DeltaT correlated positively with °Babo, °Brix and sugar for Chardonnay. As a negative correlation, P30 and minimum temperatures influenced the sugar contents. Delta6030 was negatively correlated with total acidity. For Tannat, all the variables linked to the sugar content in the grapes were positively correlated with the pH and the Tmed30. P9060 correlated positively with all sugar-related variables. Tmin9060 was negatively correlated with sugar content. Total acidity correlated positively with Tmax6030 and Tmax9060. The weather conditions when related to the cultivation of viniferas grapes directly influence the quality of the grapes.

O presente estudo buscou desenvolver pães isentos de glúten com fermento natural desenvolvido através da fermentação espontânea de farinha de arroz. Foram monitorados aspectos tecnológicos e microbiológicos ao longo do processo de desenvolvimento do fermento. Após a estabilidade da microbiota, o fermento natural foi utilizado como agente fermentativo em três diferentes concentrações (10, 20 e 30 g/100 g de fonte amilácea) em uma formulação de pão isenta de glúten e comparadas ao pão desenvolvido com levedura comercial (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). As características físico-químicas das massas (pH e acidez titulável) e dos pães (volume e cor da crosta e do miolo) foram determinadas. As massas com fermento natural apresentaram menor pH e maior acidez titulável. É possível desenvolver pães sem glúten a partir da farinha de arroz como fonte de substrato e de inóculo de microrganismos para desenvolvimento da fermentação natural, sem a necessidade de inoculação de microrganismos específicos ou de culturas starters. O fermento natural agrega sabor, melhora o aroma e aumenta a vida de prateleira de pão isento de glúten, sem causar alterações significativas nas características tecnológicas do produto.

A crescente demanda pelos derivados do leite bubalino tem estimulado os produtores a incrementarem a produção melhorando as condições de manejo e selecionando animais superiores por meio da avaliação genética e programas de controle leiteiro. Dessa forma, objetivou-se avaliar geneticamente búfalas leiteiras com base nas mensurações da produção de leite (PL). Adicionalmente, visou-se elaborar um ranking das fêmeas com melhores valores de PTA (capacidade provável de transmissão) e, posteriormente, a seleção e utilização destas no melhoramento do rebanho. Para tal, foram utilizados dados da PL de búfalas provenientes de uma fazenda localizada em São Sebastião do Passé, Bahia, Brasil, entre os anos de 2018 e 2021, totalizando 155 registros de 55 matrizes, filhas de 10 reprodutores. As matrizes eram criadas em sistema semiextensivo. Foram estimados os componentes de variâncias por meio da análise de variância (ANOVA) e em seguida foram obtidas as estimativas da herdabilidade (h²) e repetibilidade (t). Os valores da h² e t foram de 0,72 e 0,19, sugerindo que a variabilidade genética aditiva presente na população pode ser aproveitada no processo de seleção de animais mais produtivos, enquanto os efeitos temporários de meio devem ser controlados, respectivamente. Ao avaliar a capacidade provável de transmissão (PTA) desses animais verificaram-se valores de PTA entre 1362,53 kg e 427,93 kg para a primeira e décima colocada no ranking, respectivamente. Os animais melhores ranqueados podem ser utilizados na seleção individual, acarretando benefícios no rebanho e, consequentemente, melhorias no aspecto produtivo da fazenda.

As the arrangement of the species is fundamentally important to guarantee the effectiveness of agroforestry systems, it is important to test different combinations of species with varying levels of economic potential. The study was based on the analysis of the initial development of an agroforestry system formed by native tree species and other plants of economic interest, intercropped with green manure species under the edaphoclimatic conditions of Nova Xavantina in Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The study was conducted in an experimental plot on the Nova Xavantina campus of Mato Grosso State University. The plot was arranged in randomized blocks, in a simple agroforestry system of the alley type, with the plants arranged in rows, in a 4x2 factorial design (four fruit species x two legumes). The fruiting species included five trees – Bixa orellana, Spondias lutea, Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) Rich, Pouteria ramiflora, and Theobroma grandiflorum, and the banana, Musa sp. (the “BRS Princesa” cultivar). Two combinations of legume species were tested – (i) Cajanus cajan and Vigna unguiculata,and (ii) Mucuna aterrima and Canavalia ensiformis. Tree growth was assessed based on four phytometric parameters – plant height, stem diameter, the number of leaves, and percentage survival, while for Musa, the parameters were height and pseudostem circumference, and the number of active leaves and shoots. Bixa orellana and S. lutea were the species best adapted to the edaphoclimatic conditions found in the experimental plot, with all (100%) of the Bixa plants surviving throughout the study, and a survival rate of over 70% in S. lutea.
Morte e vida fronteiriça: drogas e homicídios na região de fronteira do Mato Grosso do Sul com o Paraguai (2015-2019)
Authors: Silva Gabriel Yuji Kuwamoto , Campos Marcelo da Silveira
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo, desdobramento de uma dissertação de mestrado defendida em 2020, teve como foco os homicídios ocorridos nos seis pares de cidades-gêmeas do Mato Grosso do Sul que fazem fronteira exclusivamente com o Paraguai (Bela Vista e Bella Vista Norte; Coronel Sapucaia e Capitán Bado; Mundo Novo e Salto del Guairá; Paranhos e Ypejhú; Ponta Porã e Pedro Juan Caballero; e Porto Murtinho e Capitán Carmelo Peralta) que tenham sido relacionados a rede entorno do tráfico e/ou do contrabando de drogas no período entre 2015 e 2019. Diante da ausência de estatísticas oficiais específicas sobre esse assunto, criamos um banco de dados próprio com 1192 notícias, abrangendo 201 mortes no período. Para questionar o lugar-comum de uma relação intrínseca entre as mortes e o tráfico/contrabando de drogas, bem como para não naturalizar a criminalização das drogas, fazemos opções teórico-metodológicas a partir de Foucault (2004) e Hirata (2014). Não tratamos as fronteiras pelo marcador da “ausência do Estado”, mas, pelo contrário, as abordamos como “margens” necessárias do funcionamento estatal, conforme Das e Poole (2004). A partir de Beato e Zilli (2012), Campos e Alvarez (2017), Cardin e Albuquerque (2018) e Kleinschmitt (2016a), entendemos a violência pelo prisma da noção de “sociabilidades produzidas”, formadas, nesse caso,  tanto pela estruturação de atividades criminais quanto pelas práticas socioculturais que atravessam a fronteira. Para tanto, propomos uma “sociologia da violência transfronteiriça” que lide simultaneamente com a estruturação de sociabilidades violentas em uma região de fronteira e a estruturação de sociabilidades transfronteiriças dentro das redes de violência.

Introduction: Rhinomanometry is an otolaryngological diagnostic method used to determine airflow as a function of the pressure drop through the left and right nasal cavities. Airflow is measured using orifice flowmeters that attenuate the flow.

Aim: This paper describes the results of a study into the effects of flowmeter design on rhinomanometry results and detection of nasal airflow asymmetry.

Material and methods: Four flowmeters were examined using a 3D printed model of a human nose.

Conclusions: Each flowmeter interfered with the rhinomanometry results.

Introduction: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common disorder in world population. As a result of the regurgitation of acid content from the stomach to laryngopharynx and larynx, secondary damage of laryngeal mucosa occur, which is highly sensitive to hydrochloric acid, and morphological changes are observed. Symptomatology of laryngopharyngeal reflux is varied which makes differential diagnosis difficult.

Aim: The aim of the study was the assessment of voice quality, morphological changes in larynx as well as etiology of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease.

Material and method: The severity of dysphonia was classified using perceptual and acoustic methods as well as RSI. Morphological control was performed using HSDI technique and RFS. Etiological factors were examined basing on barofunction of upper esophageal sphincter and 24-hour pH-metry of air exhaled expressed in Ryan score.

Results: In the majority of patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, dysphonia was recognized, intensified especially in women (G3R2B0A0S3), which was confirmed in Yanagihara classification (type III) and parameters of acoustic analysis. Voice disorders were the most frequently the result of edema and congestion of interarytenoid area, aytenoids and vocal folds. Those symptoms were caused by the decrease of upper esophageal sphincter tension and acidity of exhaled air which was confirmed in 24-hour pHmetry.

Conclusions: It is important to educate physicians and patients about the possibilty of negative impact of reflux disease on the occurrence of voice quality disorders. Current diagnostic methods for dysphonia guarantee accurate recognition and therapeutic success improving the prognoses of patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.
