Антиимперская рефлексия революционной эпохи (1900—1910-е годы)
Authors: И. Шевеленко
Published: November 2024

Поражение России в войне с Японией и революция 1905—1907 годов породили взлет публицистических и философских рассуждений о российской государственности и ее будущем. Одним из направлений этих рассуждений оказывается критика империи — и в качестве автократического режима, и в качестве режима, противостоящего национально-культурному строительству. Как показывается в статье, эти два аспекта критики империи несимметричны: вообразить территориальный распад страны оказывается сложнее, чем демократизацию режима. Отражающиеся в этой асимметрии интеллектуальные позиции являются важным наследием эпохи первого революционного кризиса в России.

The defeat of Russia in the war with Japan and the events of the revolution of 1905-1907 produced a surge of journalistic and philosophical reflections on Russian statehood and its future. A prominent trend in these reflections is the critique of the empire, both as an autocratic political regime and as a regime that hampers the national-cultural building. As this article demonstrates, these two aspects of the critique of the empire are not symmetrical: it is more difficult for Russian authors to imagine the dissolution of the country than the democratization of the regime. The intellectual positions that inform this asymmetry constitute an important legacy of the epoch of the first revolutionary crisis in Russia.
К истории «московской фронды»: С.Г. Строганов, А. де Токвиль и непреднамеренные последствия чаадаевского скандала
Authors: М. Велижев
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается цепь эпизодов, объединенных темой противостояния двух концепций монархического правления — полностью автократической модели и модели, при которой самодержавная власть ограничена законом и аристократией. Главным героем исследования является граф Сергей Строганов, размышлявший над возможным ограничением императорской власти в 1836 году в ходе скандала, связанного с публикацией первого «Философического письма» Чаадаева, и в начале 1860-х годов, когда Строганов занимался образованием великого князя Николая Александровича. Цель работы — показать, как внутри лояльной монарху политической элиты вызревали проекты, призванные смягчить абсолютный характер русского самодержавия.

This article examines a chain of episodes connected by the theme of confrontation between two concepts of monarchical rule — a fully autocratic model and a model in which autocratic power is limited by law and aristocracy. The main protagonist of the study is Count Sergei Stroganov, who reflected on the possible limitation of imperial power in 1836 during the scandal surrounding the publication of Chaadaev’s first “Philosophical Letter”, and in the early 1860s, when Stroganov was engaged in the education of Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich. The aim of the paper is to show how projects designed to soften the absolute character of the Russian autocracy developed within the political elite loyal to the monarch.
Советская многонациональная литература как имперский проект и как вызов империи
Authors: Е. Добренко
Published: November 2024

Советская многонациональная литература была имперским проектом. Однако институционально, идеологически и эстетически она произвела не- и даже антиимперское пространство. Оно складывалось как побочный продукт, но оказалось едва ли не единственной доступной площадкой и доменом для формирования национального сознания на имперских окраинах. Если в республиках культивировался антиколониальный национальный дискурс, то в Москве официально транслировался и поддерживался интернационалистский дискурс, где доминировали идеи национального разнообразия, «взаимодействия и взаимообогащения». В статье рассматриваются эти процессы на уровне институций, оформляющего их дискурса и порождаемых ими эстетических практик.

Soviet multinational literature was an imperial project. However, institutionally, ideologically, and aesthetically, it produced a non- and even anti-imperial space. It developed as a byproduct but turned out to be perhaps the only available platform and domain for the formation of national consciousness on the imperial outskirts of the USSR. If an anti-colonial national discourse was cultivated in the Soviet republics, then in Moscow an internationalist discourse was officially transmitted and supported, dominated by the ideas of national diversity, “interaction and mutual enrichment.” The article examines these processes at the level of institutions, the discourse that shaped them and the aesthetic practices they generated.
Руины: русская филология ввиду катастрофы
Authors: К. Осповат
Published: November 2024

Cтатья задается вопросом о месте русской филологии как дисциплины ввиду разворачивающейся катастрофы, о политике филологического метода в прошлом и будущем и очерчивает потенциальную модель эмансипаторного литературоведения. Предлагаемая аргументация отправляется от критики понятия культуры как сопутствующего насилию и угнетению. Вслед за тем очерчиваются консервативные представления о классическом наследии, увязывающие культуру с империей и имперским политическим воображаемым. После этого описывается иная, народническая традиция понимания литературы и филологии как «службы понимания», работающей в интересах обделенных. Эта традиция корреспондирует и с иным, демократическим и республиканским пониманием поэзии и памяти в украинской традиции. В заключении статьи очерчиваются некоторые категории для народнической и антиимперской филологии будущего.

The article addresses the place of Russian philology as a discipline in view of the unfolding catastrophe and its politics in the past and the future, outlining a potential alternative model for an emancipatory literary criticism. The starting point for my argument is a critique of the notion of culture as concept which consecrates violence and oppression. Accordingly, a conservative vision of classical heritage links culture with empire and the imperial political imaginary. Another tradition of understanding literature and philology, derived from Russian populism understands itself as “service of understanding” working in the interests of the disenfranchised. This tradition corresponds to a democratic and republican understanding of poetry and historical memory in the Ukrainian tradition. In conclusion, the article outlines possible categories for a populist and anti-imperial philology of the future.

Authors: Collante-Trigos Tatiana Paola , Guevara-Flórez Lady Juliana
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad determinar en qué casos, cuando se configura la relación laboral del contratista y esta es declarada judicialmente, existe responsabilidad civil por parte del supervisor del contrato a título de culpa grave o dolo, de acuerdo con lo establecido en la Ley 678 de 2001. Para esto se adelantó una investigación cualitativa a través del análisis de normas, jurisprudencia y doctrina, de tipo exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional. La conclusión de mayor relevancia es que las entidades no están tomando las acciones legales tendientes a la recuperación de los dineros de conformidad con las atribuciones que les otorga la Ley, ni en contra de los supervisores, ni otros servidores públicos.

Published: November 2024

Nas estratégias de reflorestamento, a fase de produção das mudas tem relevada importância pois a qualidade dos reflorestamentos está diretamente relacionada à qualidade das mudas utilizadas. O lodo de fossa séptica, a cama de frango e o esterco bovino são três resíduos interessantes a serem utilizados na produção dos substratos, pois os mesmos podem vir a trazer benefícios para as mudas. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito dos diferentes substratos à base de diversos resíduos na biometria nas mudas das espécies de ipê amarelo e cedro. Além disso, pretendeu-se com este trabalho estudar a qualidade dos substratos por meio do Índice de Qualidade de Dickson- IQD. Para isso, o experimento baseou-se em um fatorial 2x5, onde foram avaliados dois tipos de mudas (Ipê Amarelo e Cedro) e cinco tipos de substratos em quatro repetições, totalizando 10 tratamentos, resultando em 40 mudas ao todo. Os substratos mais eficientes foram os substratos 2 (esterco bovino + lodo séptico) e 4 (lodo séptico + cama de frango), visto que os mesmos contribuíram para que a muda obtivesse um melhor crescimento e desenvolvimento.

Published: November 2024

The present research aimed to analyze the challenges faced by the municipality of Pontal do Paraná/PR in implementing the New Law of Public Procurement and Contracts, Law No. 14.133/2021, which replaces Law No. 8.666/1993, which previously governed public administration's procurement and contracts. The adoption of the new legislation represented a challenge, particularly for medium and small municipalities like Pontal do Paraná, whose situation is significantly different from that of the federal government. To this end, a qualitative and descriptive research was conducted, utilizing the technique of semi-structured interviews with three civil servants and administering a questionnaire to 11 civil servants who work directly with procurement in the municipality. The results of the research clearly show the efforts and commitment of the municipality to adapt and implement the new legislation in its entirety, even during the transition period between the old legislation and the new one. Among the challenges faced in implementing the new legislation, the greatest is to train the staff from a technical perspective to ensure the proper application of the new law. Furthermore, it is important that there is an organizational culture open to change and committed to the objectives of the new legislation to make public procurement processes more transparent and effective.

Published: November 2024

Infecção de feridas, principalmente as crônicas, é um problema para a saúde pública mundial. A papaína vem sendo utilizada como cobertura para realização de desbridamento enzimático, porém seu uso como agente antmicrobiano ainda se mostra incerto. Deste modo, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana da papaína e de sua associação com a ureia. Para isto foram utilizadas as cepas: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Escherichia coli 042, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603 e Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606. Foram avaliados a inibição do crescimento e atividade antibiofilme da papaína (2.5-10%), na presença e ausência de ureia (100 mg/ml). Nós demonstramos que a papaína inibe o crescimento de E. coli a partir da concentração de 2.5% de forma dose dependente (20-80%), a partir de 5% para P. aeruginosa (68-100%) e somente na concentração de 10% para S. aureus (95%) e K. pneumoniae (50%). No entanto a papaína não inibiu o crescimento para a A. baumannii. Por outro lado, foi demonstrado que a combinação com a ureia aumentou a capacidade da papaína em inibir o crescimento de todos os isolados testados. Efeito semelhante foi visto para a formação de biofilme e taxa metabólica, porém a papaína ou a combinação da papaína com ureia foi incapaz de erradicar biofilme maduro. Nós sugerimos que a associação de papaína e ureia pode representar uma terapia alternativa para prevenção e tratamento de infecção em feridas cutâneas.

As doenças neurodegenerativas podem estar associadas a quadros de demência, constituindo uma significativa parte das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis relacionadas ao aumento da expectativa de vida. Diversas condições subjacentes podem causar demência, sendo mais frequente nas demências associadas à Doença de Alzheimer (DA), demência vascular, demência com corpos de Lewy, doença de Parkinson, doença pelo HIV, e demência frontotemporal. O canabidiol (CBD) e o tetraidrocanabinol (THC) são compostos da planta Cannabis sativa que possuem efeitos distintos: o CBD é não psicoativo e se destaca por suas propriedades anti-inflamatórias e neuroprotetoras, potencialmente ajudando a aliviar sintomas e retardar a progressão do Alzheimer ao reduzir a inflamação cerebral e a formação de placas de beta-amiloide; já o THC, embora psicoativo, em doses controladas pode oferecer benefícios terapêuticos ao reduzir a excitotoxicidade e promover a neuroproteção. Juntos, esses canabinoides podem atuar de forma sinérgica, apresentando uma abordagem promissora para o tratamento dessa doença neurodegenerativa, com poucos efeitos adversos.

Introduction: The full-time routine and responsibilities required of medical students have as a possible consequence the development of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). In 2019, a cross-sectional study was carried out with 177 students from 3 different classes at the UFG Faculty of Medicine on the prevalence of CVRF. The present study made a longitudinal analysis of part of this group. Objectives: To establish the prevalence of CVRF in medical students associated with data on nutrition and personal and family history of CVRF. To compare the results with research from 2019, considering the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Observational longitudinal study. Students who in 2019 were studying the first and third years of the Medicine course again answered a questionnaire about demographic data and eating habits, in addition to being subjected to a brief physical examination, capillary blood glucose and electrical bioimpedance. Results: 117 students participated. The students had an average BMI of 24.52 kg/m2, and between 2019 and 2022, we observed an average increase of 1.94% in body fat percentage, 5.25 cm in abdominal circumference, and 4.87 kg in weight. Furthermore, there was a significant reduction in the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Conclusion: There was a significant increase in the weight, BMI, and fat percentage of these students, in addition to the persistence of bad eating habits. Knowing cardiovascular risk factors is insufficient for students to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is urgent to implement intervention measures that encourage the improvement of habits.

Salinization occurs in agricultural areas in Brazil, compromising seed germination. The use of bioinputs in seed treatment can protect against damage caused by salt stress, favoring germination. This study aimed to evaluate the use of seed treatment with bioinputs to attenuate salt stress on seed germination and seedling formation of soybeans. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with soybean seeds of the Olimpo and Guepardo cultivars, in a 5 x 5 factorial scheme. Treatments included a control (T1), T2 - Bacillus aryabhattai; T3 - Bacillus aryabhattai, B. haynesii, and B. circulans; T4 - Extract of Ascophyllum nodosum algae, P, and Mo; and T5 - Mineral fertilizer (N, Zn, Cu, and Mo). The salinity levels were 0 (zero), -0.3, -0.6, -0.9, and -1.2 MPa, with four replications of 25 seeds each. Germination, first count, germination speed index, relative frequency of germination, shoot and root length, and dry mass of seedlings were evaluated. After ANOVA, bioinputs were subjected to the Scott-Knott mean test, and salinity levels were subjected to regression analysis. The cultivars were compared using Principal Component Analysis. Seed treatments with bioinputs (T4 and T5) reduced the effects of salt stress on the germination and initial development of the soybean cultivars Guepardo and Olimpo. T4 was the most effective, minimizing the reduction in germination and seedling vigor, suggesting that bioinputs are a promising strategy for saline soils.

Mango is an important tropical fruit crop grown in most parts of the world including India, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Africa, Brazil, Mexico and some US states. Mangan o is an important fruit crop for Pakistan due to its delicious taste, rich in vitamins A and C-and high-income returns to mango growers. However, in recent years a new pest problem mango fruit borer extensively damaged mango fruit crop in all mango growing districts of Punjab and Sindh. This insect was previously not even recognized as an important pest of mangoes in Pakistan among farmers and the scientific community, however since 2017, very serious complaints have been received from mango orchard owners regarding damage caused by MFB in the fruit clusters. Hence a survey was conducted in four districts of Punjab Pakistan viz., Multan, Muzaffargarh, Khanewal, and Rahim Yar Khan. About 145 mango growers were randomly chosen for interviews to learn about farmer perceptions and management of mango fruit borer. A series of open-ended and closed-ended questions were asked. Data was analyzed through the Chi-square test using Statistix 8.1 software. Farmers were asked various questions regarding farmers' identification of MFB stages and the nature of the damage, varietal preference of MFB, resting or hibernating places of the pest, insecticides used to control the pest, weeds as the reservoir of the pest and many more. Overall, most of the farmers were primarily qualified, males and had orchard sizes of 2 to 10 acres. Farmers reported that Sindhri was mostly affected by variety. Farmers used insecticides to control the pest menace and achieved around 40-80 % control. The knowledge about species recognition was very low among farmers. Based on this survey, we recommend farmer training programs regarding pest management, enhancing awareness among farmers regarding pest attacks, pest scouting, pest recognition and incorporation of cultural control techniques along with insecticides as a necessary part of pest management should be explained.

Authors: TALIB S , LAL B , BATOOL S , TESNEEM SS , JABEENN R
Published: November 2024

Menstrual hygiene is a critical aspect of women's reproductive health, particularly among university students who may face challenges due to cultural taboos and inadequate knowledge. In Pakistan, discussions around menstruation are often stigmatized, leading to gaps in awareness and practices that can affect women's health and academic performance. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices regarding menstrual hygiene among female university students in Lahore, Pakistan, to identify gaps and inform future educational interventions. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over three months at Superior University, Lahore. A total of 300 female students aged 18–25 years were selected using Slovin’s formula. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire covering demographic information and specific questions on menstrual hygiene knowledge and practices. Responses were measured on a Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22, employing descriptive statistics and inferential analyses. Results: The participants were nearly equally divided between married (49.7%) and single (50.3%) students, with a slight majority being postgraduates (52%). Awareness of various menstrual products was limited, with only 36.4% of participants expressing adequate knowledge. While 55.6% recognized the importance of regularly changing menstrual products, 22% remained neutral. Proper disposal practices were known by 39%, and only 50.3% acknowledged the importance of hand hygiene. Comfort in discussing menstrual hygiene with peers was moderate, with 44.7% expressing comfort. A significant proportion (59.7%) supported the inclusion of menstrual hygiene education in university programs, and 62% advocated for the provision of free menstrual products on campus. Conclusions: The study revealed significant gaps in knowledge and practices related to menstrual hygiene among university students in Pakistan. Cultural stigma and inadequate education contribute to these deficiencies. There is a critical need for comprehensive menstrual hygiene education programs within universities, along with institutional support to provide resources and foster an environment that encourages open dialogue. Addressing these issues is essential for improving women's health outcomes and promoting gender equity in educational settings.
A journey from clinical data to clinical care for anorectal malformation patients across Europe and Australia: Methodological implications of registries and epidemiological comparisons
Authors: Hageman Isabel C.
Published: November 2024

Anorectal malformations (ARM) are rare conditions of the rectum and anus. Due to the rarity of ARM, research is challenging. Patient registries, where hospitals from multiple countries collect data, offer a solution. This thesis studied the requirements and challenges of such registries. As a result, a new registry was established for ARM patients in Australia and New Zealand. Two large existing registries were used to describe and compare symptoms and treatments of ARM patients in Europe and Australia. Specific ARM types, malformations of other body parts, and certain surgical techniques had a higher risk for complications. Although European and Australian patients were similar, their treatments differed, where less frequently performed procedures developed more complications. Therefore, European surgeons can learn more about these procedures from Australian surgeons, and vice versa. Collaboration, both in research and in clinical practice, is fundamental to achieve the ultimate goal of improving care for ARM patients.

Authors:   International Labour Organization,
Published: November 2024

This brief explores the potential of carbon markets to promote a just transition towards a low-carbon economy. It highlights how carbon markets can create economic incentives for businesses and governments to reduce emissions through the buying and selling of carbon credits. However, the authors emphasizes the need for careful design and implementation of these markets to ensure they do not exacerbate existing inequalities or create social risks. The brief outlines a framework based on ILO guidelines for a just transition, prioritizing social dialogue, community engagement, and equitable benefits for all, particularly those historically marginalized, to ensure that carbon markets contribute to both environmental and social objectives.

Nowy wymiar STRACHU: Analiza konceptualna i intermedialna
Authors: Biskub Iryna , Smoliar Anna
Published: November 2024

W tym artykule przedstawiono nowe, intermedialne spojrzenie na wielowymiarowe pojęcie strachu w twórczości literackiej współczesnego pisarza amerykańskiego Stephena Kinga. Skomplikowana i sprzeczna natura strachu leży u podstaw popularnego gatunku literackiego – horroru. Wieloaspektowy charakter gatunku horroru świadczy o jego wrodzonej złożoności, szczególnie jeśli chodzi o eksplorację strachu. W artykule omówiono następujące kluczowe funkcje horroru: 1) wyraźne określenie skojarzeń wynikających z doświadczenia strachu, 2) zapewnienie usystematyzowanego tła metodologicznego do badania danej emocji oraz 3) zapewnienie podatnego gruntu dla introspekcji społecznej. Uzasadniono, że refleksyjny charakter tekstów literackich czyni je reprezentatywnym repozytorium objaśniania konkretnych pojęć czy odczuć społecznych, stąd rosnąca liczba utworów literackich odzwierciedlających jedną z podstawowych ludzkich emocji – strach. Koreluje to ze współczesnymi wyzwaniami społecznymi, gospodarczymi i technologicznymi, które miały istotny wpływ na kształt ostatnich kilku dekad. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że zmiany i modyfikacje w postrzeganiu strachu znalazły swoje odzwierciedlenie w literaturze grozy. Analiza lub leksykalna i semantyczna leksemów stosowanych przez S. Kinga do określenia strachu pozwoliła na wytyczenie rdzenia i peryferii pojęcia STRACH. Stosując perspektywę intermedialną i techniki interpretacji tekstu, ustaliliśmy kluczową rolę wizualnych i słuchowych systemów sensorycznych w reprezentacji omawianego pojęcia przez autora i jego dalszym odbiorze przez czytelników. Główny wniosek artykułu pozwala spojrzeć na pojęcie STRACH jako złożony artefakt semiotyczny i językowy, emocję pierwotną i wieloaspektowe zjawisko psycholingwistyczne. Zatem koncepcja STRACH przypomina skomplikowany system semiotyczny, który integruje różne środki werbalne i niewerbalne. W artykule strach rozumiany jest jako reakcja nerwowa i fizyczna będąca odpowiedzią na wewnętrzne i zewnętrzne źródła zagrożenia, a także ucieleśnienie szacunku, oszołomienia i rozpaczy ugruntowanych w różnych układach sensomotorycznych. Strach, będący złożonym zjawiskiem psycholingwistycznym o charakterze multimodalnym, jest dynamicznie reprezentowany w prozie literackiej za pomocą różnych narzędzi intermedialnych, które ewoluują w odpowiedzi na zmiany społeczne, polityczne i ekonomiczne współczesnego świata.
Does off-pump coronary bypass surgery reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation?
Authors: Muduroglu Ayhan , Atasoy Mustafa
Published: November 2024

Aim: We aimed to determine whether there was a difference in the incidence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) between off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and conventional on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CCABG) surgery. In addition, we also aimed to determine the parameters that will help in the preoperative identification of patients who develop POAF.
Material and Methods: A total of 100 patients who underwent CCABG (Group 1) and 100 patients who underwent OPCAB (Group 2) were included in this retrospective observational cohort study, and the groups were then compared with each other in terms of preoperative, operative and postoperative patient characteristics. In addition, patients with and without POAF were compared according to their characteristics in both groups.
Results: New-onset POAF occurred in 16 of 100 patients in Group 1 and 18 of 100 patients in Group 2, and this difference was not statistically significant. Patients with POAF were significantly older than those without POAF in both Group 1 and Group 2. In addition, it was found that in only Group 2 the mean LVPS was significantly lower while the mean duration of hospital stay was significantly higher in patients with POAF than those without POAF.
Conclusion: We suggested that advanced age was the most significant predictor of POAF development following CABG. According to the findings of our study, except for age there was no reliable indicator that can predict POAF development, although the mean LVPS was found to be lower in patients with POAF than those without POAF in OPCAB group. Nevertheless, further prospective well-designed studies with larger patient participation are required to support the findings of our study and obtain more valuable and powerful scientific evidence.
Soil Carbon Sequestration and Nutrient Status of Rice-Based Cropping Systems: A Case Study from Mymensingh District in Bangladesh

Carbon (C) sequestration in soil plays a crucial role in increasing soil quality through recommended management practices including applying organic amendments, following cropping patterns, fallow periods etc. This study aimed to assess the influence of rice-based cropping patterns on soil C and nutrient status in surface (0-15 cm) and sub-surface soil (15-30 cm). Soils of five rice-based cropping patterns [Boro (winter rice)-Fallow-Fallow, Boro-Fallow-Aman (monsoon rice), Boro-Fallow-Aman-Mustard, Boro-Aus (summer rice)-Aman, Vegetables-short Fallow-Aman] from farmers’ fields of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh were collected. Bulk soils were physically fractionated into particulate organic matter (POM: >53 µm) and mineral associated OM (MOM: < 53 µm) to assess the organic C (OC) distribution. Bulk soils were analyzed for soil pH, electrical conductivity, soil texture, nutrients (OC, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S)) contents. The results showed that all studied parameters varied significantly among the cropping patterns and soil depths. Surface soils contain higher amount of OC, N, P, K and S than sub-surface soils under all rice-based cropping patterns. Overall, relatively higher macronutrients (P, K, S) concentration was found in the cropping patterns with a greater number of crops compared to the patterns including fallow period. In contrast, OC and N were the highest in Boro-Fallow-Fallow field followed by Vegetables-short Fallow-Aman and the rest three patterns, which might correspond to less disturbance of soil. All the rice-based cropping patterns had noticeable proportion of MOM (presumably stable OC) than labile POM which indicates the capacity of paddy soils in sequestering OC in soils. However, this capacity can be influenced by the pattern and probably also by the management systems, e.g., tillage and nutrient managements. These findings revealed the necessity of paying more attention to the selection of cropping pattern and proper land/or crop management for higher C sequestration in arable soil.

Background: Cholelithiasis is one of the most common issues affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The prevalence of cholelithiasis ranges from 11% to 36%. The prevalence is found to be associated with a number of factors including age, gender and ethnicity. Women have three times higher risk of developing this condition in comparison to men. Objective: This The aim of this study is to prove that occurrence of early and late postoperative complications is lower in patients who had three metal clips placed on cystic artery and ductus cysticus in comparison to the patients who had two metal clips placed. Methods: In this retrospective study we included all the patients who underwent acute laparoscopic cholecystectomy between January 1st 2021 and December 31st 2022 at the Department of Abdominal Surgery of University Clinical Centre Tuzla. Total number of patients included in the study is 148. A total of 1200 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed, of which 1052 patients had chronic calculus cholecystitis, and the performed laparoscopic cholecystectomies were part of elective surgical procedures. Remaining 148 patients had acute calculus cholecystitis, and were admitted and operated laparoscopically in an emergency protocol. Results:: Out of total amount of 82 laparoscopic surgeries were performed with the placement of two clips on the cystic artery and cystic duct, and 66 laparoscopic cholecystectomies with the placement of three clips on the cystic artery and cystic duct. Out of a total of 82 patients who were implanted with two clips, 6 of them had some of the postoperative complications. In the group of patients who had three clips implanted, none of the 66 subjects had any postoperative complications. Conclusion:: The study confirms that patients who underwent placement of three clips had lesser odds of developing complications, and that this occurrence is not accidental but rather a consequence of the choice of the surgical method.

Background: Echinococcosis of the skin occurs rarely, localized in the subcutaneous tissue or skin, in only 0.1-1% of cases. From our practice, the unusual case of a 52-year-old worker of Bosnian origin from Germany, who in the period from 1979-1996 worked as a forest worker in the Swabian Alps collecting dead foxes and badgers, was presented. Objective: The goal of this article was to present an unusual form of multiorgan echinococcosis, which manifested itself during chronic borreliosis transmitted in childhood, and the difficulties in the diagnosis and therapy of both diseases Case presentation: Since 1986, extensive unusual cutaneous and subcutaneous cauliflower-like and round formations appeared on the back of the head and face, which were surgically removed on several occasions, then echinococcosis of the liver was verified and treated surgically, and echinococcosis of the brain. Due to depression and suicidal intentions, he was treated by a psychiatrist for a while. The patient was on prolonged therapy with albendazole since 2008, he was mentally stable, and the skin changes were in remission for a while. He again consulted an infectious disease specialist at the end of 2018, due to complaints that had worsened over the last three years, when the tingling of the hands, legs, joint pain, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, skin itching and the reappearance of previous skin changes increased, regardless of continuous taking Albendazole. Conclusion: Amnestic-epidemiological, clinical and serological confirmed chronic Lyme Disease and recommended treatment according to the WHO protocol. defects over proximal phalanx of the index finger.
