Decolonise This Space
Authors: Hutchings Suzi
Published: November 2021

The 15 th April 2016 marked the 25-year anniversary since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC) in Australia handed down its Final Report. The report signified a landmark in the relationships between Indigenous Australians and the post-colonial State and Federal governments. Established by the Hawke Labor Government in 1987, the Commission examined 99 Indigenous deaths. Most significant was the finding that the deaths were due to the combination of police and prisons failing their duty of care, and the high numbers of Indigenous people being arrested and incarcerated.

In the wake of the RCIADIC, cross-cultural sessions and cultural competency workshops have become ubiquitous for public servants, therapists, and legal and welfare employees, in attempts to bridge gaps in cultural knowledge between agents of the welfare state and Indigenous clients. Using Indigenous Knowledges theory, this chapter assesses how cultural misalignments between Indigenous clients and those who work with them in the name of therapies designed to improve Indigenous lives, dominate cross-cultural interactions. In so doing the questions are posed: how do good intentions become part of the discourses and practices of on-going colonialism for Indigenous Australians, and what can be done to change the balance of power in favour of therapies of relevance to Indigenous people?
Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis with Ovarian Teratoma Improved by Prompt Surgery
Authors: Yang Seok-Yeol , Byun Wooryang , Park Sung-Pa , Seo Jong-Geun
Published: November 2021

Anti-N-methyl-D aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is often accompanied with ovarian teratomas. It has a variety of clinical manifestations including psychiatric symptoms, seizure, and motor dysfunctions. The diagnosis can be definite when clinical symptoms are present and anti-NMDAR antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid are detected. However, in patients with suspected anti-NMDAR encephalitis with teratomas, early surgery may help the clinical outcome even if the antibodies are initially negative. The authors report a patient whose clinical symptoms improved significantly after early removal of teratoma.
Yangın geciktirici kimyasallarla emprenye edilmiş kontrplakların en iyi ısı iletim özellikleri için optimum çözelti konsantrasyonunun yapay sinir ağları ile belirlenmesi
Authors: DEMİR Aydın , AYDIN İsmail
Published: November 2021

Yangın geciktirici kimyasallar, uygulanmış oldukları malzemelerin fiziksel, mekanik ve diğer bazı teknolojik özellikleri üzerinde farklı etkilere neden olmaktadır. Bu etkiler, çözeltilerin konsantrasyon miktarlarına ve retensiyon miktarlarına bağlı olarak değişim gösterebilmektedir. Bu yüzden, yangın geciktirici kimyasalların uygulandıkları malzemeleri kullanım yerlerinde istenilen özelliklere göre en az seviyede olumsuz etkileyebilmesi için en uygun konsantrasyonlarda kullanılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı yangın geciktirici kimyasallarla emprenye edilmiş kontrplakların en iyi ısı iletim özellikleri için optimum çözelti konsantrasyon değerlerinin yapay sinir ağları aracılığıyla (YSA) belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Deneysel veriler, literatürde tarafımızca yapılan önceki çalışmadan elde edilmiştir. Ağaç türü olarak, sarıçam (Pinus sylvestris L.) ve kızılağaç (Alnus glutinosa subsp. barbata), yangın geciktirici kimyasal olarak da çinko borat, monoamonyum fosfat ve amonyum sülfat kullanılmıştır. Kaplama levhaları daldırma metoduna göre emprenye edilmiş ve %5, %7 ve %10 olmak üzere üç farklı çözelti konsantrasyonları seçilmiştir. Kontrplak levhalarının ısı iletim özelliklerini belirlemek için ısıl iletkenlik katsayıları ASTM C 518 standardına göre belirlenmiştir. Deneysel olarak elde edilen veriler ile YSA analizleri sonucunda elde edilen tahmin değerleri hem istatistiksel hem de grafiksel karşılaştırmalar kullanılarak, en iyi performansa ve kabul edilebilir sapmalara sahip tahmin modeli belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, bu tahmin modeli kullanılarak, ısıl iletkenlik katsayı değerleri deneysel olarak testi yapılmayan ara çözelti konsantrasyon değerleri için tahmin edilmiştir. Analiz bulgularına göre, sarıçam kontrplaklarda optimum çözelti konsantrasyon değerleri monoamonyum fosfat, çinko borat ve amonyum sülfat için sırasıyla, %5, %8.6 ve %6.2 iken kızılağaç kontrplaklar için ise bu değerler, %8.4, %6.2 ve %8.8 olarak hesaplanmıştır.

Authors: Koka Nisar Ahmad , Islam Mohammad Nurul , Wahab Mohammad Osman Abdul , Ahmad Javed
Published: November 2021

Studying the predominant occurrence and existence of English lexicon in other languages in contact with English has emerged out to be of immense interest among the researchers of sociolinguistics and theoretical linguistics. The present study is devoted to demonstrate various English-Kashmiri language contact situations and the subsequent diffusion/ flow of English words into the Kashmiri language. The study attempts to explore the significant role of media in its different forms in enhancing and determining the transport of English words into the speech of Kashmiri speakers. The study seeks to address the motivation and inspiration of Kashmiri speakers behind the English-Kashmiri linguistic shift, and the influence of the prevailing circumstances on this English-Kashmiri linguistic diffusion. The liberality of the English language in handing over such an enormously huge amount of word treasure to the Kashmiri language, and the receptivity of the Kashmiri language in accepting this vocabulary treasure from English at a very large scale has been thrown light on in the study. In the present study, an attempt has been made to display a comprehensive list of English words used in various domains of social life of the Kashmiri speech community.

Prepositional Phrases in Modern Standard Arabic: An Agree-Based Analysis
Authors: Assiri Ahmad Ismail
Published: November 2021

Prepositions, in Arabic traditional grammar literature, have been analyzed as Genitive Case assigners (Hasan, 1976; Sibaweihi, n.d.). This paper presents a phase-based analysis for prepositions (Ps) in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The analysis is built on Chomsky's (2005, 2008) Feature-Inheritance model of Agree. In this proposed analysis, Prepositional Phrases (PPs) in MSA are analyzed as phases, where a Probe-Goal relation is established between the prepositional Probe p-P and the DP in its searching domain (i.e., its complement). The outcome of this relation is valuation of the unvalued Case feature on this DP complement (i.e., Genitive Case), and a similar valuation to the unvalued phi-features (φ-fs) on the Probe p-P.
Religious Belief and Diaspora in Coetzee’s Youth and Yassin-Kassab’s The Road from Damascus
Authors: Aldojan Ala’ , Awad Yousef
Published: November 2021

This study focuses on the role that faith plays in immigrants’ lives in the South African novelist John Maxwell Coetzee’s Youth (2002) and the Arab British author Robin Yassin-Kassab’s The Road from Damascus (2008). Specifically, the study analyzes and scrutinizes the faith (lessness)-informed attitudes of the two protagonists toward the various challenges they encounter as diasporic subjects in a society that instills alienation and displacement. Each protagonist goes through an identity crisis triggered by his inability to reach his objectives and goals as Coetzee’s John fails to be the poet he has aspired to be and Sami finds it hard to finish a PhD on Arabic poetry that his late father has encouraged him to pursue. While faith helps Yassin-Kassab’s protagonist to eventually overcome the challenges he faces, faithlessness in Coetzee’s novel deepens the protagonist’s sense of alienation and dislocation as the novel ends on a gloomy note. The study adopts an approach of textual analysis and comparison between the two novels. It also touches upon other fields including religion, history, identity, culture, diaspora, politics, and mental health. It examines the protagonists’ cultural, national, and religious identities based on settling in diasporic communities in relation to the historical backgrounds and the socio-cultural conditions in the homeland and the host country.

Artikel ini menganalisis perkembangan Pan-Islamisme di Negeri-Negeri Melayu pada zaman Perang Dunia Pertama. Sebelum Perang Dunia Pertama meletus, kerajaan British di Negeri-Negeri Melayu mengamalkan hubungan diplomatik dengan pelbagai negara. Keterbukaan ini memberi ruang kepada negara-negara lain untuk mengadakan hubungan ekonomi dan sosial dengan penduduk Negeri-Negeri Melayu. Turki merupakan antara negara yang mempunyai hubungan baik dengan British telah memberi ruang kepada negara tersebut untuk mempunyai hubungan diplomatik dengan Negeri-Negeri Melayu. Pan-Islamisme mula menjadi isu hangat apabila sekumpulan inteklekual muda di Turki telah mencetus idea dan gerakan kesatuan Islam sejagat. Kesannya, semangat Pan-Islamisme telah mula tersebar ke Negeri-Negeri Melayu. Semangat ini mempengaruhi masyarakat Islam untuk menyokong kerajaan Turki atas prinsip kesatuan umat Islam sejagat. Walaupun British sedar bahawa perkembangan semangat Pan-Islamisme ini mampu mempengaruhi kesetiaan penduduk Negeri-Negeri Melayu terhadap British namun British tidak dapat menyekat kemasukan pendakwah atau pedagang Turki untuk datang ke Negeri-Negeri Melayu. Hal ini disebabkan British masih mempunyai hubungan baik dengan Turki. Maka, semangat Pan-Islamisme terus berkembang di Negeri-Negeri Melayu sehingga Perang Dunia Pertama meletus pada tahun 1914. Justeru itu, artikel ini menilai sejauhmanakah PanIslamisme memberi kesan terhadap perkembangan Pan-Islamisme di Negeri-Negeri Melayu pada zaman Perang Dunia Pertama. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan kualititatif dengan meneliti sumber primer seperti dokumen Laporan Tahunan Negeri-Negeri Selat dan fail-fail Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Tinggi British. Hasil kajian membuktikan semangat Pan-Islamisme telah diterima oleh penduduk Negeri-Negeri Melayu namun sokongan ini berjaya dikawal oleh British sepanjang zaman Perang Dunia Pertama. Kata kunci: Pan-Islamisme; Turki; British; Perang Dunia Pertama; Hubungan Diplomatik.

Published: November 2021

Acute urinary retention (AUR) is an acute inability to empty the bladder, despite its overflow with urine and the urge to urinate. According to the literature data, about 10% of men over 70 years old and about 30% of men over 80 years old suffer this disorder. At the same time, almost 90% of men over 45 years have symptoms of the lower urinary tract disorders and can be included into the risk group for developing of AUR in future. The risk of developing of AUR in middle-aged men is approximately 6.8 cases per 1000 men and increases to 34.7 cases in men over 70 years. Urinary retention remains a common cause of emergency hospitalization of patients to urological departments, as well as the most common complication of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). According to epidemiological studies, 10% of men aged 60-70 years suffer acute urinary retention within 5 years, and their proportion increases up to 30% within 10 years of observation. The main risk factors for the development of AUR in men are old age, the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and prostate volume.

Authors: Villareal Jhon , Benavides Wilson , Ibarra Álvaro , Piamba Tito , Moran Richard
Published: November 2021

Las personas con discapacidad enfrentan enormes desafíos para realizar actividades normales y vitales. El transporte es uno de estos obstáculos que diariamente desafía a las personas con discapacidad. En países en vía de desarrollo como Colombia, esta situación es peor debido a que la infraestructura con ascensores, rampas y transporte público especial para discapacitados es baja o inexistente. A pesar de que este tipo de vehículos ya existen en el mercado, sus precios no son asequibles en lugares como Colombia debido a los costos de importación. En un esfuerzo por mejorar las condiciones de esta población, se propuso desarrollar un triciclo para discapacitados utilizando componentes locales y tecnología asequible para uso masivo. Para el desarrollo de este prototipo se utilizó la metodología clásica de diseño mecánico propuesta por Shigley. En las evaluaciones preliminares el prototipo muestra un buen equilibrio en ergonomía, funcionalidad y costo.

Factors Affecting the Sense of Coherence (SOC) for Long-term Evacuees after a Large-Scale Disaster in Japan
Authors:   Faculty of Global Nursing, University of Iryo Sosei, Japan, Yasuda Manami
Published: November 2021

Disasters has been occurring frequently all over the world, and an increasing number of people have been forced to continue their evacuation life for a long time. In the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan, some people are still unable to return to their homes due to radioactive contamination and are forced to live as evacuees for long periods of time. It is considered a serious public health issue to keep mentality healthy under the stress of living after the disaster. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the factors that affect the sense of coherence (SOC), which is considered as the ability to cope with stress and maintain health, in residents who continue to live as evacuees after a large-scale disaster. The method was a self-administered questionnaire survey of 1,602 long-term evacuees in Japan. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted with the high and low SOC score groups as dependent variables in order to identify factors that predicted high and low SOC. The results showed that the SOC tended to decrease in the elderly and those with deteriorating mental health. On the other hand, those who were active in education and hobbies, and those who socialized with their neighbors and friends tended to have the higher SOC. In order to support residents who have been forced to continue living as evacuees for a long period of time, it is important to provide them with psychological and emotional support to prevent them from being emotionally overwhelmed, as well as living environment improvement and economic support. It was suggested that the promotion of resident-led activities that lead to mental relaxation and the introduction of stress reduction methods that can be easily adopted by residents are effective in maintaining mental health.

See me, know me, believe in me: Reimagining Pasifika student success as Pasifika in visual arts
Authors: Dyck Dagmar
Published: November 2021

Pasifika students bring to school rich cultural resources that offer a strong foundation on which to build creative practice. Bringing cultural awareness to visual arts education provides a powerful platform for Pasifika students to embrace success as Pasifika. The recent introduction of Tapasā—Cultural Competencies Framework for Teachers of Pacific Learners (Ministry of Education, 2018) provides an opportunity to inquire into how visual arts education can authentically reflect cultural competencies. This article seeks to share teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, and pedagogical practices that affirm Pasifika students’ success “as Pasifika”. The students themselves also offer insights into their enactment of success through their art works and stories. My experiences as a visual artist and teacher of Tongan descent grounded the research project.

Authors: Reddy Lou , Baghaei Nilufar , Reinders Hayo , Ahmed Ali , Sardareh Sedigheh Abbasnasab
Published: November 2021

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) is a flexible framework that can be localised to ensure it is a culturally responsive approach to protect and promote student wellbeing and positive behaviour. One of the downsides is that it requires much paperwork. Teachers need to record behaviour, reward positive and report negative behaviour, and file incident reports. We designed and developed Ka Pai, a gamified mobile application prototype to help. It was evaluated with 10 teachers at an intermediate school in Auckland, New Zealand. Based on user metrics and feedback, the results indicated that Ka Pai supported teachers to efficiently and systematically record, reward, and report students’ behaviour.

Authors: Farooq Nyla , Farooq Mir Tauyiba
Published: November 2021

Background: Cancellation of elective surgical treatments is a quality-of-care issue as well as a huge waste of health-care resources. Patients may experience emotional distress as a result of this, as well as difficulty for their families. Aim: To find the significant reasons of cancellation of scheduled surgical cases.
Methods: A total of 300 elective operations in our institution were chosen. The completed surgeries were planned on the scheduled operation day, and the anaesthesiologist noted down a list of cancellations along with their reasons.
Results: A total of 300 patients were scheduled for surgery. A total of 60 patients were cancelled, resulting in a 20% cancellation rate. Lack of operational time was the most prevalent reason for cancellation.
Conclusion: The majority of the reasons for cancellation should have been avoided with proper list preparation and the surgical team's meticulous planning.

Authors: Hussain Khan Zahid , Hameed Aseel Khalid
Published: November 2021

Background: Manage and deal with the pregnant patient undergoing anesthesia for surgical non-obstructed surgery, assess the effects of non-obstetric surgeries on both fetus and mother during pregnancy, and measures to prevent it.
Methods: A review search study was currently managed in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Science gate, Elsevier, Scientific report, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews, after obtaining approval from the ethics committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All the reviews identified were restricted to human studies and available in English.
Results: Elective surgery ideally should be avoided during pregnancy while emergency surgery should proceed with consideration for the anesthetic implications of the altered physiology of pregnancy. Caution must be taken during anesthetic application and Airway management.
Conclusion: Pre-oxygenation is essential and consider the rapid-sequence induction accompanied with cricoid pressure to lower the incidence of aspiration. Lower MAC values of the volatile anesthetic should be used and medications titrated to preferably produce beneficial effects only.

Authors: Jabbari Ali , Tabasi Shabnam , Bani Hashem Nadia , Jahangirifard Alireza
Published: November 2021

Background: Post spinal anesthesia headache (PSAH) is a headache occurring after spinal anesthesia induction due to Dura and arachnoid puncture and has a significant effect on the patients’ post operative well being.
Methods: We run a cross sectional descriptive study on patient under spinal anesthesia that suffer from post spinal anesthesia headache parallel with a review on observational and experimental studies in the medical databases of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane for preparing a strategy in prevention and treatment of post spinal anesthesia headache. Aim of this study was adapting different treatment method and prevention system of Post Spinal Anesthesia Headache (PSAH) according to our facilities base on our observation and experiences.
Results: The overall incidence of post-Spinal Anesthesia headache has a very wide range. Its incidence obtained 17.3% by spinal needle 25G Quincke in our observation. Under hydration and tension headaches could be a factor influencing the incidence of PSAH. Intravenous administration of caffeine may be effective for prophylaxis of PSAH. Pregabalin has also been shown to alleviate PSAH. Drugs that have been used to treat PSAH include caffeine, NSAIDs, vasopressin, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, theophylline, sumatriptan, gabapentin and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Conclusion: A combination of keeping patients normovulemic during the spinal anesthesia induction and prophylaxis prescription of caffeine and Dexamethone before and; Aminophylline and NSAIDS after the procedure could have a main role in keeping and treatment of the patient from PSAH.

Authors: Nabilah Ismail Izzati , Aizuddin Abu Bakar Mohammad , Hairul Anuar Khairul Fikri , Ramlee Mohamad Arif
Published: November 2021

Objectives: This study is aimed at analysing the accuracy and reliability of the cone beam CT (CBCT) measurements and direct physical measurements of the posterior mandible.
Materials and methods: Eighteen cadaveric hemi-mandibles were dissected from the soft tissues and the CBCT images of the mandibles were taken. Direct physical and cone beam CT measurements of six landmarks which includes height of ramus (R), distance of lingula to sigmoid notch (LS), distance of lingula to inferior border (LI), position of lingula in relation to occlusal plane (L-OP),  ramus thickness at crestal level (RT-C), and ramus thickness at midway between sigmoid notch and lingula (RT-M) were determined. Accuracy and reliability of the measurements were tested.
Results: Four landmarks showed high accuracy when measuring the posterior mandible, while two landmarks, LI and RT-M, showed statistically significant weaker accuracy (p<0.05). Inter-reliability were good for all landmarks when measured directly physically on mandibles (ICC>0.7 and p>0.05), but were low on two landmarks, LI and RT-C, on CBCT measurement (ICC<0.5 and p<0.05).
Conclusion: A generally strong accuracy between direct physical and CBCT measurements for most landmarks on posterior mandible were found. Reliability between two researchers were high on direct physical measurements. Meanwhile, two landmarks on CBCT which include LI and RT-C showed low inter-reliability. Hence, CBCT measurements proved to be a good tool for pre-operative assessment, since high inter-reliability and strong accuracy corresponding to direct physical were recorded.
Comparative efficacy of haloperidol and placebo for treatment of delirium induced by biperiden and LPS in adult male rats based on their learning style and change in their short-term spatial memory
Authors: Farhadi Nasab Abdollah , Roozbakhsh Malihe , Bahrami Naghmeh
Published: November 2021

Background and Objectives: Delirium refers to acute loss of consciousness and is characterized by confused thinking and impaired orientation. It is a life-threatening, but reversible syndrome manifested by cognitive impairment, abnormal psychomotor activity and sleep disturbances. Due to high prevalence in hospitalized patients and high rate of morbidity and mortality, delirium significantly decreases the prognosis of hospitalized patients.
Materials and Methods: This experimental animal study evaluated 54 adult male Wistar rats over 2 months of age that weighed 200 to 230 g. Of all, 24 rats received biperiden (40 mg/kg) while the remaining 24 received 50 µg/kg LPS. Induction of delirium was ensured using a Y-maze after 3 hours. The control group included 6 rats The efficacy of different doses of haloperidol for treatment of delirium was assessed 3 h after injection using the Y-maze . Data were compared using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test via GraphPad Prism.
Results: Haloperidol at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mg/kg dosage significantly increased the percentage of spontaneous alternation and improved the memory, consciousness and learning compared with biperiden and LPS groups (P<0.01). No significant difference was noted between the haloperidol groups regarding efficacy (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Delirium is characterized by attention deficit, impaired orientation, changes in memory, consciousness, perception and mood, and psychotic symptoms. Detection of the complete spectrum of delirium signs and symptoms in an animal that cannot talk (rat) is obviously difficult .using of Y-maze can facilitate this problem .

Results: The findings of the present study showed that mental disorders could predict the status of people with substance abuse disorders in whether they are treatment seeking or non-treatment seeking. The results showed that non-treatment seeking group had a higher score in narcissistic personality disorder ‎(B= 0.27; Exp(B) = 1.31)‎, which was a statistically significant difference, but the treatment-seeking group had a higher score in antisocial personality disorders (B=-0.18; Exp (B) =0.83) and delusional disorder (B=-0.50; Exp (B) = 0.61). This difference was also statistically significant.
Conclusion: Therefore, according to the findings, it can be concluded that there are different mental disorders between the two groups of treatment seeking and non-treatment seeking that should be considered by therapists. The findings of this study could pave the way for future research on comorbid substance abuse disorders and provide new research pathways for the researchers in the field of addiction treatment.

Introduction: Considering the changes, which implemented in the dental education program in recent years and also the importance of reviewing their feedback in educational affairs, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the periodontics and dental public health departments of Dental School based on the CIPP evaluation model in 2018.
Methods: The present study was performed in a descriptive cross-sectional format on the target population of dental students of 10-12 semesters and professors of the mentioned groups. Context, input, process and product were assessed using a questionnaire consistent with the CIPP pattern checklist. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and T-test via SPSS 16 software.
Results: The average scores of professors and students in different areas of the Periodontology Department were as followed: the context (75, 58.6); input (18.9, 1.37); process (68.7, 8.37) and product (56.2, 1.37) fields, respectively. In the Dental Public Health Department, the average scores also included context (50, 3.64); input (25, 5.63); process (100, 58) and product (75, 3.58) areas, respectively.
Conclusion: In the Department of Periodontics, the input as well as process and output were undesirable for the students and the input was undesirable for the professors. In the Dental Public Health Department, just input was unfavorable for professors and relatively desirable for students in all four areas.
Predictive value of calculated plasma osmolality and atherogenic index of plasma for chronic limb-threatening ischemia in lower extremity artery disease
Authors: PALA Arda Aybars , URCUN Yusuf Salim
Published: November 2021

Objectives: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the end-stage form of lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) whose main reason is atherosclerosis. Plasma osmolality (PO) and plasma lipid levels affect the development and progression of atherosclerosis directly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive effect of PO and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) for the development of CLTI.
Methods: A total of 324 patients who were diagnosed with LEAD were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical stage of the disease was evaluated according to the Rutherford classification, and patients without CLTI were defined as “Group 1” and patients with CLTI as “Group 2”.
Results: There were 248 patients (mean age 64.44 ± 9.05 years and 73.4% male) in Group 1, and 76 patients (mean age 66.62 ± 8.22 years and 76.3% male) in Group 2. In the multivariate regression analysis, CAD, PO, CRP and AIP were defined as independent predictive factors for the development of CLTI (p = 0.015, p < 0.001, p = 0.007, p < 0.001; respectively). ROC curve analysis showed that, PO cut-off value for CLTI development was 293.28 mOsm/kg (AUC: 0.821, p < 0.001) with 75% sensitivity and 74.2% specificity, and AIP cut-off value was 0.23 (AUC: 0.740, p < 0.001) with 67.1% sensitivity and 68.5% specificity.
Conclusions: The PO and AIP values in LEAD patients may be used as the new biomarkers of atherosclerosis progression, and therefore as predictive factors for the development of CLTI.
Prediction value of creatine kinase level in conservative treated unruptured tubal ectopic pregnancies
Authors: RAHIMLI OCAKOGLU Sakine , DEVELİOĞLU Osman Haldun
Published: November 2021

Objectives: An ectopic pregnancy (EP) occurs when a fertilized ovum implants outside the endometrial cavity. We investigated the creatine kinase (CK) enzyme in conservatively treated EP to determine the resolution time and predict cases that may progress to surgical intervention.
Methods: We include 43 patients with stable vital signs at recruitment. All participants were examined by using transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and creatine kinase (CK) levels were also measured. In cases diagnosed with EP, intramuscular methotrexate (MTX) at a dose of 50 mg / m2 was administered and monitored with β-hCG titers. Follow-up continued until β-hCG titer became negative, or surgery became mandatory due to acute abdominal pain.
Results: The mean β-hCG Level in the presence of an adnexal mass was statistically significantly higher than the mean level in patients in whom TVUS failed to define a mass. The mean β-hCG level in the surgical exploration group of patients was significantly higher than in those who did not require surgery. At a cut-off of 6486 mIU/mL, β-hCG could predict the emergence of acute abdomen with a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 94.3%. We examined CK level to contribute the test's specificity, but we found no difference among cases with and without surgical exploration.
Conclusions: In patients treated conservatively for EP, CK levels at the outset neither predict an acute abdomen to emerge nor shed light on the resolution period in patients who respond to medical therapy.

Published: November 2021

El Proyecto de Investigación 3.1 presenta y analiza cómo la avanzada tecnológica viene convirtiendo en aplicaciones virtuales toda nuestra experiencia de contacto con el mundo real, pareciera estar posicionando al diseñador industrial como un profesional dedicado a una práctica primitiva, solo rescatable en su modesto rol de operador de dispositivos de representación digital, o en la ambiciosa expresión del diseño de experiencias. Esta tendencia se ve potenciada por el desarrollo de nuevos materiales, por la miniaturización hasta el vacío de los artefactos y por el extrañamiento de la realidad que nos produce el nuevo ecosistema de las redes sociales. Asumiendo los condicionantes y oportunidades del momento, se intenta abordar desde diversas realidades, los posibles caminos de acción. Acción sobre la realidad, sobre los materiales y sobre los proyectos.
Edición universitaria y políticas editoriales como objeto de análisis: Prácticas de lectura y políticas públicas

El Proyecto de Investigación 6.2 indaga en la edición universitaria desde una pluralidad de puntos de vista e interpretaciones. Se enfoca en la identificación, revisión y análisis de aspectos que ayudan a comprender y explicar el panorama actual de las editoriales cuya existencia y desarrollo tiene lugar en el ámbito de las universidades, y desde allí reflexionar sobre algunos desafíos para el futuro. Gran parte de la investigación científica y de otros tipos de producciones editoriales en años recientes ha sido publicada en estos espacios. Su creciente internacionalización y profesionalización ha permitido ir construyendo su consolidación en el sector editorial de la mano del crecimiento y marco de las universidades. El estudio de ésta temática aún presenta un área de vacancia en los estudios sobre políticas editoriales en instituciones de educación superior.
Producción, Circulación y Comunicación del conocimiento en Instituciones de Educación Superior: Políticas Editoriales

El Proyecto de Investigación 6.3 propone recuperar tanto la trayectoria de editoras y actores del mundo editorial, como reflexionar sobre la condición de la autoría femenina, el sexismo en las prácticas editoriales, las desigualdades de género y las políticas del lenguaje en Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay, países en los que, si bien el devenir de la acción de las mujeres en el campo de la edición ha sido distinto, ha estado atravesado por condicionamientos, obstáculos, invisibilidades y desigualdades en torno a ellas. El campo de estudio en edición y cultura escrita reporta aún un área de vacancia del rol de las mujeres en el mundo del libro y particularmente su accionar como editoras. Este necesario reposicionamiento de la mirada en las ausencias que han plagado la construcción de la historia del libro y del mundo editorial contemporáneo es clave para componer un panorama de la edición de libros desde una perspectiva feminista, que recupere y visibilice la acción y el trabajo de ciertas mujeres que protagonizaron los devenires en los distintos países latinoamericanos.
