Authors: Grigas Vincas , Gudinavičius Arūnas , Petreikis Tomas , Šuminas Andrius
Published: January 2024

Introduction. This study investigates the adoption of professional scholarly journal publishing software in Lithuania, with a focus on the trends and patterns of its use in 2020. It underscores the limited research on proprietary software and the absence of comprehensive country-specific case studies.
Method. We compiled a list of sources by manually reviewing all journal websites and independently verified the collected data against other databases. Additionally, we contacted publishers individually via email to clarify the data.
Analysis. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis with the help of SPSS statistical package.
Results. The analysis reveals that the second or third-generation Open Journal Systems (OJS) software is the most popular open-source publishing solution, utilized by nearly half of the Lithuanian journals. The Social sciences and Technology sciences are the most frequent users of OJS, both in Lithuania and abroad. The use of OJS in Lithuania gradually decreases to 24% as one moves from publication towards production management, with a significant reduction in the use of OJS for manuscript delivery. The increased use of proprietary software for manuscripts may be related to pricing and the composition of the journal's authors.
Conclusions. The ecosystem of scholarly journals in Lithuania has not yet reached the minimum level of technological advancement where all journals use professional software for publishing.

Authors: Zúñiga-Núñez María Fernanda , Aguilar-Franco José Alberto
Published: January 2024

An ecological and standardized process was developed for the production of garlic powder in the agricultural sector of the Arequipa region to obtain a final product with optimal organoleptic characteristics in color, smell and flavor; compared to traditional and manual processing as is normally done. This process is divided into four units: raw material preparation, raw material processing, obtaining garlic powder and obtaining compost from the solid residues of the process. It is proposed to obtain an eco-friendly process with unified procedures through the use of its solid waste, the use of solar energy and the use of measurement instruments that will facilitate the monitoring of optimal production values identified in each unit operation through the installation of points of control. The results ensure the obtaining of garlic powder that preserves its properties and benefits by continuously taking advantage of its residues.

Authors: Ramírez-Cardona Álvaro , Jiménez Mejía José Fernando
Published: January 2024

The atmospheric processes that affect the Nocturnal Boundary Layer (NBL) raise unresolved questions, more critical in the case of urban, tropical, and mountainous areas. This research examines the structure of the NBL in the Aburrá Valley - Colombia, a tropical and urbanized region characterized by complex topography. Here six methods were used to estimate the thickness of the NBL, considering the minimum backscattering gradient method (based on ceilometer data) as a reference. Although all the methods contribute to the understanding of the NBL, it was found that the Critical Richardson Number equal to 0,5 fits the best to the reference method, at least for the year 2017, indicating that the tops of the NBL were below the peaks of the surrounding mountains. These results provide technical arguments to consider in managing urban air quality in Valle de Aburrá and other urban, tropical, and mountain areas
PREVALENCE, TOXICOKINETICS AND CLINICAL SIGNS OF ZEARALENONE MYCOTOXICOSIS IN PIGS - AN OVERVIEW
Authors: Nikolov N. , Binev R.
Published: January 2024

The contamination of feeds and foods with mycotoxins is a global ecological and public health issue. The effects of fungi growing on feeds and of mycotoxins produced by them are outlined with the fact that even minimum concentrations, especially in cases of potentiated synergism and continuous exposure, may cause substantial harm to health manifested with immunosuppression, reproductive disorders in farm animals and hence, reduced productive performance and great economic losses. By affecting numerous economic sectors and the food industry in particular, mycotoxins pose a huge threat to animal and human health. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that 25% of global food crops used as primary feed ingredients in animal and human nutrition are affected by mycotoxins and contaminated as early as during the stages of plant growth, harvesting, transportation or storage.
The most important mycotoxins, subject to extensive research and of enormous economic relevance in modern livestock husbandry, pig farming in particular, are deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 toxin (T-2), fumonisin B1 (FB1), ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The present review describes zearalenone (ZEA) as one of the main pig feed contaminants, its prevalence,
toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics and clinical signs.

Published: January 2024

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, serious gas-forming infection of the renal parenchyma and surrounding tissues. Radiological classification and adequate therapeutic regimen are controversial, and prognostic factors and pathogenesis remain uncertain.
The aim of the research is to present the management of emphysematous pyelonephritis in a woman with newly diagnosed diabetes.
The clinical case presents a 68-year-old female patient admitted to the internal ward in a seriously damaged general condition- difficult to communicate, inadequate, in deep sopor, with severe febrile intoxication, astheno-adynamic, upper- and lower-dyspeptic syndromes. With a negative test for COVID-19 upon admission, other tests from the emergency department showed hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, slightly increased values of nitrogen bodies in the blood, significantly increased values of osteophase inflammatory markers, rich urine findings.The results of computer-axial tomography of the abdomen, performed the day after admission, with evidence of emphysematous pyelonephritis on the right, with distended intestinal loops along the course of the large intestine, without free air in the abdominal cavity.
The clinical picture and therapeutic behavior, as well as the outcome of the disease, were followed and described in the woman with emphysematous pyelonephritis and newly diagnosed diabetes. Material and methods: clinical observation, analysis of medical documentation and literature sources Discussion: Emphysematous pyelonephritis usually affects elderly patients, mostly women. A particularly favorable for development is observed among patients with diabetes and obstruction of the urinary tract. The main causative agent is Escherichia coli. Computed axial tomography is the key to diagnosis. Treatment requires a combination of intensive care with appropriate antibiotics and frequent drainage of the affected kidney. Nephrectomy may be required from the beginning or after drainage failure.

Authors: Novakov Iv. , Taylor E.
Published: January 2024

Conditions that appear four weeks after infection with SARS-CoV-2 are accepted as “post COVID”. Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is one of these late COVID consequences. Our aim is to present a series of cases with this post COVID complication.
Case series. We present four patients with post COVID expression of spontaneous pneumothorax. These patients were non-smokers; never ventilated and had no underlying pre-existing lung diseases and they were treated and recovered from COVID-19 pneumonia in an outpatient setting. Tube thoracostomy, under video-assisted control in three of the patients, was performed as a management of pneumothorax.
Conclusion. With these case series, we highlight SP as an expression of long-term COVID-19 morbidity. The effectiveness of thoracoscopy in the diagnosis and management of such type of secondary late COVID-19 spontaneous pneumothorax was demonstrated.

Published: January 2024

Children are a vulnerable group in terms of obesity: nearly 20% of Hungarian kindergarten and school-aged children are overweight or obese. School catering plays a decisive role in shaping children's nutritional behavior. To support the prevention of obesity and to increase the quality of children's diets, legislation passed in 2014 included provisions on school catering. This paper provides a qualitative content analysis of a roundtable discussion on the school catering system that took place at an interdisciplinary conference, with the aim of identifying the most important messages about school meals conveyed by the discussion. During the qualitative analysis of the roundtable discussion, seven main categories emerged: factors supporting the acceptance/implementation of public catering; factors hindering the acceptance/implementation of public catering; everyday problems in the implementation of public catering; the task of caterers and public catering; the transformation of public catering; cooperation among parties with an interest in public catering; and factors helping children to cooperate. The co-occurrence network of subcategories and values can be broken down into one large component and several separate, small components. Thus, it can be concluded that the majority of subthemes and values are grouped into a coherent system. The results point to the key role of school catering in healthy nutrition and nutrition education, and the importance of close cooperation among parties with an interest in school catering to promote the social acceptance of catering and the prevention of childhood obesity.

The issue of water pollution by organic compounds is becoming more and more urgent. Semiconducting metal oxides are used for wastewater treatment from organic dyes. However, TiO2 is active only when exposed to UV light. Therefore, modification of the catalytic system is an important task. In our study, we have prepared nanoscale Au/TiO2 composites using femtosecond pulsed laser ablation in liquids. We have studied the optical and structural properties of the composites and demonstrated their potential application as a photocatalyst for the decomposition of the dye methylene blue. The catalytic activity of Au/TiO2 nanocomposites was found to be 1.5 times higher than that of TiO2 under the same conditions.

Published: January 2024

The method of manufacturing active silica fibers by sintering nanoporous glasses has a number of advantages over methods of vapor deposition (MCVD, OVD). The features of obtaining nanoporous glasses by the method of two-phase separation of alkali borosilicate glasses are described. Examples of doping sintered nanoporous glasses with rare earth elements are given and the main results on the production of active fibers with a core are considered. It has been shown that such fibers are similar to their MCVD analogues in terms of properties. At the same time, it is possible to impregnate nanoporous glass with large (more than 1 at.%) concentration of dopants without revealing clustering effects and without noticeable fluctuations in the refractive index of the fiber core glass.

Published: January 2024

Currently, there is a growing interest in traditional country products, particularly those with proven health benefits. The aim of this study was to describe the chemical composition and properties of flours and starches obtained from various quinoa. The examined quinoa quinoa starches contained 7-18 times less protein and 10-25 times less lipid compared to flours. The content of amylose in the starches ranged from 15.9 to 18.5%. Flour and starch samples were also analysed for their thermal properties (DSC), pasting profile (RVA) and the content of free radicals. The Ecuadorian quinoa starches had a much higher onset (51.9-53.6°C) and peak temperature (59.3-62.1°C) than the ones from Bolivian varieties (respectively 48.5-51.6°C i 56.9-59.6°C). All the quinoa starches were susceptible to the formation of free radicals (1.05-2.06 ×1019 spins/g) irrespective of their geographical origin. The properties of the others flours and starches isolated from quinoa were influenced by the geographical origin and variety of quinoa.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin clot (PRF) and conventional oroantral communication (OAC) repair techniques following tooth extractions from the maxilla. The study involved 22 patients, divided into 2 groups: a study group treated with PRF and a control group undergoing conventional OAC repair. The primary outcome measured was the effectiveness of OAC closure, with pain intensity and postoperative complications as secondary outcomes. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to evaluate post-extraction bone regeneration. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on days 0, 1, 7, and 14 postoperatively. The results showed that the PRF group experienced a significant decrease in pain within the first 24 hours and after 7 days (P < .0001; P < .05). In contrast, complications were reported in 45.45% of patients in the conventional repair group and 18.18% in the A-PRF group. Three months postsurgery, CBCT revealed appreciable bone healing in both groups, with no significant difference (P > .05). In conclusion, the study suggests that A-PRF treatment for OACs resulted in fewer complications and quicker pain reduction than traditional repair methods, making it a promising alternative for managing OACs. However, future studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish the full therapeutic potential of PRF.
Institutional interplay in China’s economic system on the example of hukou
Authors: Moszyński Michał , Guo Yanrong
Published: January 2024

Background: The introduction of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) re-emphasizes the transformation of China’s economic order and draws the hukou system back into the limelight. Hukou, a system of population registration and movement control developed since the 1950s, has experienced several reform waves. It is worth examining its new strategic role as a supporting element of the evolving Chinese economic system in interaction with other institutions.

Research objectives: The article aims to examine and assess the evolution of the hukou and its interaction with other formal (meta)institutions: the labour market, welfare system, and education system, as well as its institutional support for China’s economic model.

Research design and methods: We based the study on qualitative research using our two-level model for analysing the relationship between selected institutions and the evolution of hukou.

Results: The changes in the household registration system go in line with China’s evolving economic strategy. The hukou’s relationship with individual institutions has been effective or ineffective depending on the period.

Conclusions: Hukou has played a major role in supporting the Chinese economic model in terms of the supply of cheap labour, local economic development, and talent selection.
B2C Cross-Border Import e-Commerce Market Trends and Implications Following Changes in Chinese Consumption
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Hong Seoneui
Published: January 2024

This study examines the current status and characteristics of the Chinese consumer market and the cross-border B2C e-commerce market. Based on this, it analyzes the characteristics of consumers using cross-border e-commerce and trends. The characteristics of cross-border e-commerce consumers include. First, the dominance of Chinese consumers born in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as women. Second, the expansion of the affluent middle class with strong purchasing power. Third, the acquisition of product and brand information through social media. And fourth, the expansion of live commerce. Recent trends include a preference for luxury brands, the 'pure beauty' trend among women, the growth of the high-end baby product market, and increased interest in health supplements.
Through trend analysis, several implications are suggested:
1. Enhance brand awareness and value through brand marketing.
2. Strengthen marketing and sales activities using short-form video platforms like Douyin.
3. Strengthen the lineup of environmentally friendly, safe, and mild women's care and baby products.
4. Improve the quality and standardization of health functional foods, while actively engaging in marketing activities to enhance product and brand positioning.
Despite being one of the world's largest consumer goods importing countries, South Korean exports to China are on a downward trend. Therefore, to increase B2C cross-border e-commerce exports as part of exporting consumer goods to China, greater efforts should be made.
Spory o przemysły kreatywne

Published: January 2024

In the context of the growing importance of the creative industries in the economy and emerging questions about a place of public, cultural, social, economic and innovative policy, an important question appears: what is an essence of the concept of the creative industries? The idea of integration, support and building an identity of the institutions, which activities are based on talented and creative work, has its origins in the United Kingdom and Australia. It is now entering Polish market and arouses interest in policy-makers, academics and practitioners. Still, for many people, the term seems to be vague and arouses a lot of controversy. The article shows the discourse on the creative industries, especially the ongoing debate between: European (mainly British), Australian and American scholars. Furthermore, arguments of critics and defenders of the concept are also presented. The arguments derived from the tradition of the criticism of mass culture which represent the current research on economization of culture are compared in this text. There are three main grounds of the dispute: the definition of the concept, the essence of the concept of a new sector and application in practice. Furthermore, two main phases in the discourse and the pragmatics of the creative industries are also presented: the transition from cultural industries to creative industries and emphasizing the importance of innovation and networking. The study used a critical analysis of the content of not only Polish but also foreign public documents, industry reports and scientific papers. The methodological conclusions drawn from the emergence of a new interdisciplinary research area are also presented. These findings specifically relate to Poland which is entering a crucial phase of policy development in the field of the creative industries. The need for an action is systematized: definitional, classificational and critical analysis of achievements and mistakes of the countries implementing policies to support the sector, as well as the need to adopt it to the local conditions. In the context of relatively limited academic reflection on the issues in Poland, the need of interdisciplinary analysis is also emphasized.
Poczucie autoskuteczności w matematyce uczniów i uczennic

Published: January 2024

Women’s underrepresentation in strictly technical fields of study closely linked to mathematics is a universal phenomenon, registered not only in Poland. Conclusions from numerous educational reports are worldwide as well – it is girls who preponderate over boys in math grades at every stage of education. Furthermore, in Polish conditions, the results of external exams are not significantly diversified by gender. Thus, the consequences of different evaluation systems do not explicate the so-called „women gender gap” in terms of women academic and vocational choices. In Poland, for a few years there has been attempts to counteract the prevailing trend through „The Girls for Engineers” programme or systems of scholarships for female students of technical and scientific studies. Such activities are claimed to be legitimate, though still insufficient, because they focus on diminishing the symptoms of the phenomenon, regardless of its exact causes. The explanation proposed in the article refers to the effects of stereotype that „maths is a domain for males”. It has been assumed that such stereotype has an adverse impact on the perception of one’s competences of stigmatized people – i.e. girls. Such facet of analysis has not been adopted in Polish educational research so far. Theoretical background of own research constitute self-efficacy theory by Albert Bandura, which emphasizes cultural context of its formation process. The obtained results indicate that gender is a significant factor contributing to the sense of efficacy formed on the basis of specific achievements in mathematics. It indicates that a typical female student – in relation to similarly assessed typical male student – registers lower trust to her own mathematical competences. Discussion depicted the way in which unfavourable self-perception corresponds to motivation for learning mathematics and consequently to educational choices. The direction for further research has been indicated.

The research was handled by The Action-research in Contemporary Culture and Education – Practice and Theory team, and was commissioned by Rector of Nicolaus Copernicus University. The examination was held in 30 km radius from Grudziądz – the most efficient distance in terms of economics and everyday travels. We’ve found schools in Świecie, Nowe and Łasin in a circle of our interest. The population of examined region is ca. 155 000. An unemployment rate is significantly higher than average (over 29% in a region). Weak educational infrastructure, no industry. Research was conducted from March 20’ to April 18’ 2013 on 2016 students in 18 schools (regular and technical high schools). The main aim of studies was characteristic of a-level and pre-a-level students from Grudziądz and Grudziądz region and their educational plans. We focused especially on plans regarding higher education. All public school students, from all the high schools, were participating in a research. The auditorial survey was a main used method. The questionnaire was divided in 3 parts. The first was general information part, the second was educational plans part. The questionnaire contained also a set of questions to estimate economical, social, and cultural level - according to P. Bourdieu’s theory. The main examination was preluded by pilot examination which allowed us to tune up a research tool and a method.
Lessons from the collapse of two banks in Portugal: Implications for banking management and regulation
Authors: Nunes João , Lagoa Sérgio
Published: January 2024

It is almost 10 years since one of Portugal’s five largest banks, BES, was subject to a bank resolution measure. In 2015, another large bank, BANIF, followed the same path. Now that some time has passed and the full consequences of the resolutions materialised, it is time to reflect on the causes of the crises at these two banks and to draw lessons for the future. In addition to looking into the relevant literature, official company reports, parliamentary inquiries, newspapers and other public information, we examine whether key financial ratios could have raised a red flag. We conclude that the collapses were explained by a mixture of macrostructural causes and above all bank-specific factors. The two cases are good illustrations of the negative effects of financialisation in the Portuguese economy. The key profitability and risk indicators provided some timely indications of the problems facing the two banks.

A evolução tecnológica na sociedade contemporânea levou os indivíduos a se adaptarem às rápidas mudanças. Com a regularidade dos diversos canais de comunicação e divulgação de informação, destaca-se a facilidade de acesso a esta informação. A realidade começa a ser moldada para absorver informações na mesma velocidade com que elas são apresentadas. Contudo, surge uma fragilidade na capacidade humana de tomar decisões, como evidenciam estudos de Daniel Kahneman na década de 70, destacando a elevada influência do ser humano. Estudos comportamentais subsequentes, baseados nas práticas comprovadas de Kahneman, continuam a revelar a fragilidade humana na tomada de decisões face aos pontos de vista da sociedade. As heurísticas assumem o controle das decisões, e a apresentação rápida e pluralizada dos canais de comunicação torna-se um fator a ser observado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar falhas cognitivas nas decisões, impulsionadas pelos avanços tecnológicos, e examinar como a tecnologia atual, especialmente a inteligência artificial, pode ajudar a mitigar essa falha de decisão. Este projeto qualificou-se através de um estudo teórico, buscando artigos correlacionados na base de dados Scielo e relacionando-os com notícias atuais, construindo uma fundamentação teórica na aplicação da inteligência artificial como método de intermediação estratégica. A inteligência artificial tem sido apontada como uma entidade capaz de auxiliar na tomada de decisões, mas também como uma tecnologia capaz de absorver as nossas visões e divulgá-las.

Against the background of the socio-economic, environmental conditions that have changed in recent years and the deterioration of the quality of life, there are distinct negative shifts in the health of the younger generation. Protecting the health of the younger generation is the most important state task, since the foundation of the health of the adult population of the country is laid in childhood. The state of health is largely determined by the level of physical development of the child. The study of the main indicators of physical development of children in recent years has revealed certain trends. According to statistics, up to 10 thousand children with physical disabilities are registered annually in the Kyrgyz Republic. When assessing the health status of the child population, great importance is attached to the study of indicators of physical development, as it reflects the formation of morphological and functional properties of the body. The article presents the results of anthropometric indicators in order to assess the physical.
COMPARISON OF POPULATION MORBIDITY IN SOME WATER SUPPLY ZONES OF A LARGE URBAN AGGLOMERATION AND PERMANGANATE OXIDIZABILITY OF DRINKING WATER
Authors: Yalaletdinova A. V. , Malkova M. A. , Samus A. I. , Kantor E. A.
Published: January 2024

There has been researched the relationship between permanganate oxidizability of drinking water and the primary and total population turnover in polyclinics of the city, located in the areas supplied with drinking water from surface water intake, infiltration water intake, as well as in the area located in the mixing zone of water from surface and infiltration water intakes, for the following diseases: malignant neoplasms, blood diseases, endocrine diseases, diseases of the circulatory system, respiratory diseases, diseases of the digestive organs, skin diseases. The method of correlation and regression analysis has been used to find the relationship between the indicator of drinking water quality and the number of applications (primary and/or general) of the population to polyclinics. Different manifestations of relationships between diseases of the population and permanganate oxidizability of drinking water have been revealed. Thus, permanganate oxidizability can positively or negatively affect respiratory diseases, blood diseases and congenital deformities.

Differences in manifestation of relations between population diseases and permanganate oxidizability of water in the zone of surface water intake, the zone of mixing of surface and infiltration water intakes, as well as the zone of infiltration water intake have been established. The maximum number of correlation coefficients characterizing the relationship between the indicator and malignant neoplasms, diseases of urogenital system and skin diseases is noted for the zone of infiltration water intake, while in the other two zones the correlation coefficients are either absent or their occurrence is minimal. Correlation coefficients characterizing the relationship between the indicator and the same disease in the zones of influence of surface water intake, mixing zone and zone of influence of infiltration water intake can have different signs.

It should be noted that correlation coefficients of moderate, noticeable and high association do not mean that there is a risk of one or another disease, but only indicate that there is some relationship between permanganate oxidizability and these diseases.

Published: January 2024

Research on the effects of parental involvement in their children's education in school settings has shown that more active parental involvement in school life to support children's learning has a positive impact on academic achievement and student integration, and that family-school relationships and cooperation also play an important role in children's education. School-parent cooperation is also present in public schools, but alternative schools and co-educational schools expect more decisive and active involvement from parents than mainstream schools. The forms and intensity of the expected cooperation vary between alternative schools and learning communities, and this study aims to provide a picture of the forms, possible areas and extent of parental involvement expected in alternative schools and learning communities.

Data are provided on findings of marine macroalgae during bottom trawls and longline fishing on the Western Kamchatka shelf in 2018-2023. During the study period, algae were noted at 65 stations in the depth range from 20 to 350 m. Most of the algae findings were found in the Kamchatka-Kuril fishing subzone, within the South Kamchatka Nature Reserve. Among the macrophytes, representatives of the order Laminariales predominated: Agarum pertusum, A. clathratum, Alaria esculenta, Arthrothamnus bifidus, Eualaria fistulosa, Hedophyllum bongardianum, H. dentigerum, Laminaria yezoensis, Laminaria inclinatoriza and Thalassiophyllum clathrus. For southwestern Kamchatka, only 9 out of 13 species of kelp algae indicated in the literature were discovered. Brown algae Fucus distichus, Desmarestia intermedia, red algae – Ptilota asplenioides, Turnerella mertensiana and lamellar green algae – Ulva fenestrata were found sporadically. A comparative analysis of aerial photography data of coastal areas from Cape Sivuchy to Cape Lopatka in 2002 and modern satellite images did not reveal significant changes in the distribution of littoral and sublittoral algae beds. In the coastal line of capes Sivuchy, Kambalny and Maria that we studied, the kelp belt with an average width of 100-130 m reached in the summer of 2018–2023 the total coverage area is 1.92 km2. The use of accompanying data when conducting bottom surveys of commercial invertebrates and fish, longline cod fisheries, together with the analysis of satellite images, allows for an expert assessment of changes in the species composition and distribution of kelp algae, and is also a promising tool for monitoring the state of macrophyte communities in the Far Eastern seas of Russia.
El corrido del narcotráfico como descendiente del folclor popular hispano / The drug trafficking ballad and its link to the Spanish popular poetry
Authors: Ramirez-Barradas Herlinda
Published: January 2024

Resumen: El artículo es una revisión de los corridos sobre el narcotráfico que en las últimas décadas han invadido el mercado nacional de México y algunas partes de Estados Unidos. En primer lugar se presenta dimensión sensacionalista de la poesía popular y, a partir de los estudios de Julio Caro Baroja. Después, se hacen conexiones entre el romance vulgar y los narcocorridos que, a pesar de los siglos que los separan, presentan una visión similar del delincuente común a quien el pueblo admira por sus despliegues de bravura y coraje. El rastreo permite concluir que el narcocorrido no surge como un fenómeno único, su existencia se debe a la relación que existe entre este nuevo subgénero y viejas expresiones poéticas populares.

Abstract: The article is a review of the corridos on drug trafficking that States in recent decades have invaded the national market of Mexico and some parts of the United. First, it presents the sensationalist dimension of folk poetry, based on Julio Caro Baroja studies. Then, it makes connections between the romance vulgar and the narcocorrido that, despite the centuries that separate them, show a similar view of the common criminal, admired by the people for their displays of bravery and courage. The investigation allows concluding that the narcocorrido emerges not as a unique phenomenon; its existence is due to the relationship between this new sub-genre and old popular poetic expressions.

COMPARATIVE STUDY: ENDOSCOPIC DACROCYSTORHINOSTOMY WITH AND WITHOUT STENT
Authors: Fatah Mariwan
Published: January 2024

BackgroundDacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a commonly performed operation in which a fistulous tract is created between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the necessity for silicone tube insertion following endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR).

Patient and MethodsA prospective interventional comparative study was carried out in the Center of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery/Al Sulaymaniyah Teaching Hospital from March 2021 to April 2022. Twenty-two patients (25 eyes) with epiphora were included; an ophthalmologist referred them after diagnosing the cause and site of obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, 86.4 % of which were female and remaining 13.6 % were male, with ages ranging from 15 to 61. They were randomly assigned to two groups: GroupA 11 patients (12 eyes) underwent EDCR with silicone stent, while GroupB 11 patients (13 eyes) had EDCR without stent. The patients were evaluated in terms of symptom relief and neo-ostium patency.

ResultsIn the current study, the success rate was (100%) for both groups, with no failures. Additionally, a stent has been associated with granulation tissue formation and patient discomfort. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups.

ConclusionRoutine nasolacrimal intubation in DCR is unnecessary due to the additional cost and associated complications. Good exposure and marsupialization of the lacrimal sac and regular follow-up are required for a better postoperative outcome and the avoidance of complications.

Published: January 2024

Backgroundβ-thalassemia is a most common hereditary disease where the patients suffer from decreased or absence of beta-globin chain synthesis, which leads to hemolytic anaemia and other complications. Very little data about beta-globin mutations in the Kurdish population is available to date.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to provide a more precise picture of the β-thalassemia mutations spectrum and to estimate their frequencies.

MethodsA cohort of 100 β-thalassemia patients was tested to detect mutations in the beta-globin gene’s regions (3 exons and two introns) using molecular techniques (polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing).

ResultsIn this study, a total of 31 beta-thalassemia mutations were identified. The results showed that IVSII-666 C>T and IVSII-16 G>C were predominant over other mutations, with 59% of thalassemic patients having these mutations. Other common mutations found, in order of decreasing frequency, were Cd2 T>C, IVSII-74 T>G, IVS1-110 G>A, IVSI-5 G>C, IVSII-1 G>A, IVSII-81 C>T. The remaining mutations were uncommon and accounted for a few cases. More importantly, five novel beta-thalassemia mutations, namely, IVSII-13G>A, IVSII-14 A>C, IVSII-17 delC, IVSII-68_69 dupG, and Cd2/3 +C, were discovered which have not been previously reported in other populations.

ConclusionThe results obtained in this study can be used as a guide before prenatal diagnosis and during premarital screening of β-thalassemia in the Kurdish population.

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women throughout the world. Although uncommon, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in young women.

ObjectiveTo assess risk factors among young Kurdish women ≤ 40 in Sulaimani governorate.

Materials and MethodsA hospital-based, retrospective case-control study was conducted in two selected Sulaimani Hospitals, Hiwa Cancer Hospital and Breast Diseases Center, from January 1st, 2015, to December 31st, 2021. Eligible cases included those women ≤ 40 years of age, Kurdish nationality, histopathologically confirmed breast cancer, and random selection of a control group with no evidence of breast cancer of matched age. Data on reproductive characteristics were collected through a standardized questionnaire for both cases and controls.

ResultsThe participants’ mean age was 32.23 years (SD ±3.98) and 34.55 years (SD ±5.99) for cases and controls, respectively. The results of multinomial logistic regression revealed that menarche at 12-14 years of age (OR= 2.33, 95% CI:1.41 - 3.86), low level of education (OR primary= 2.16, 95% CI:1.32 - 3.53), living in urban areas (OR= 2.75, 95% CI:1.87 - 4.05), unemployment (OR= 2.73, 95% CI:1.34 - 5.53), nulliparity (OR= 1.76, 95% CI:1.1 - 2.83), physical inactivity (OR nil= 5.03, 95% CI:1.09 - 23.3), and some dietary items as (red meat, chicken meat, fish meat) increased the odds of developing BC.

ConclusionNulliparity, early age at menarche, physical inactivity, and dietary patterns should be given priority during the assessment of breast cancer risk among young Kurdish-Iraqi women.
