Authors: De Souza Turri Geovanna Santana , Barbosa Fonte Renata Elly , Lima-Silva Luiz Guilherme , Faro Andre
Published: December 2021

This research compared evocations regarding the term “coronavirus” during two different periodsin the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil in 2020 — March (beginning of the pandemic in the country)and June (Brazil as the epicenter of the pandemic) —, considering the presence or absence ofanxiety symptoms in participants. The methodology adopted the free evocation technique and theGeneralized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-2) symptom scale. The sample was composed of 5,961 womenand 1,153 men. Participant selection was relegated to convenience sampling by means of an onlinequestionnaire. Results showed that the coronavirus had diff erential impacts among the groups thatwere assessed and according to the time of data collection. In general, in March, people with anxietysymptoms had a more catastrophic view of the future, while people without those symptoms had aless unfavorable repertoire to adjust to the situation. In June, both groups reported a negative viewof the scenario, indicating a decrease or exhaustion in their capacity for psychological adjustment.This suggests the possibility of an increase of some conditions that result in adaptive impairment,exhaustion, and mental illness. Finally, it is important to understand people’s beliefs about the coronavirusat diff erent times of the pandemic because it is a favorable period for the emergence and/orintensification of mental disorders.

Published: December 2021

La utilización de pruebas psicológicas validadas y de confi abilidad comprobadas aportan evidencias valiosas al profesional en una multiplicidad de actividades, que comprenden desde el diagnóstico, el plan y el seguimiento de tratamiento hasta la selección laboral, la orientación vocacional, las pericias judiciales e investigación; sin embargo, no siempre se disponen de baremos adaptados a la región en la que se pretende aplicar un instrumento y, en ocasiones, siquiera corresponden a datos normativos del país. En Argentina, la WISC-IV fue adaptada considerando población perteneciente al Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, no se incluye muestra de otras regiones del extenso país. Por lo tanto, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa no experimental, exploratoria- descriptiva, con el objetivo de determinar la importancia de contar con baremos adaptados de la WISC-IV para diferentes regiones de un mismo país; para ello, se analizaron comparativamente los índices obtenidos por 520 escolares de 6 a 14 años (agrupados según los rangos de edad 6-8, 9-11 y 12-14) al aplicar dos baremos argentinos (Buenos Aires y Resistencia) para su corrección mediante un análisis de ANOVA mixto. Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias signifi cativas según el baremo sea de Buenos Aires o de Resistencia, en 4 de los 5 índices de la WISC-IV, al abarcar tanto en aspectos relacionados con el funcionamiento cognitivo general (i.e., CIT), como en campos más específi cos (i.e., memoria de trabajo - IMO, velocidad de procesamiento - IVP y razonamiento perceptivo - IRP); además, se observaron diferencias entre baremos en CIT, ICV, IRP e IMO y sugerir comportamientos diferentes en los distintos índices según el tipo de baremo aplicado en los diferentes grupos de edad. Los resultados sugieren que la corrección de la escala a un/a estudiante, según las normativas establecidas para una región con características sociodemográficas distintas a la que pertenece el individuo, podría derivar en errores interpretativos de sus aptitudes cognitivas, por lo que se determina la importancia de contar con adaptaciones de las pruebas psicológicas para arribar a interpretaciones que eviten infra o sobrevalorar sus puntuaciones.

Published: December 2021

Artefatos tecnológicos têm sido utilizados por muitos membros das famílias contemporâneas. Eles são conhecidos por seu potencial para promover a comunicação, reduzindo a distância percebida entre as pessoas. Nesse cenário, o tempo tem sido um problema para muitas famílias, o que inclui as figuras paternas. Os pais têm encontrado dificuldades para preencher seus papéis no desenvolvimento emocional das crianças. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo gerar diretrizes para o design de artefatos tecnológicos para auxiliar na gestão de conflitos no tempo despendido pelo pai com seus filhos. O estudo adotou o conceito de concerns conflitantes (objetivos, atitudes e padrões aprendidos pelos pais no que se refere a suas relações com os filhos) para avaliar de que forma o design pode oferecer suporte a tais relações. Foram realizadas entrevistas com pais após um período de sensibilização. Elas foram analisadas por meio de Análise de Conteúdo. Com o suporte de um grupo composto por seis designers foram elaboradas 20 diretrizes de projeto com foco no pai, na relação tempo-espaço, nas relações sociais e afetivas, e nas atividades desenvolvidas pelos pais com seus filhos.

Published: December 2021

Um novo paradigma manifesta-se em torno dos automóveis, uma mobilidade autônoma, conectada e eficiente. Nesse cenário, objetiva-se com o artigo evidenciar o sistema multimeios como diferencial na experiência do usuário junto à mobilidade digitalizada. Resultado de uma pesquisa de mestrado, a proposta metodológica apresenta natureza básica, caráter exploratório, abordagem qualitativa e realizada através de pesquisa bibliográficas e entrevistas semiestruturadas. As entrevistas focaram em três grupos: profissionais da indústria automotiva, concessionários vendedores e usuários de veículos de passeio. Na análise do conteúdo foram evidenciados pontos presentes nas respostas dos três grupos de entrevistados, a citar: conectividade, sistema multimeios, parcerias com empresas de tecnologia, experiência do usuário automotivo e mobilidade digitalizada. Apesar da oposição de opiniões e pontos de vista entre os entrevistados, foi possível identificar quatro pilares: (a) a conectividade, por meio do sistema multimeios, está cada vez mais em destaque nos automóveis; (b) o sistema multimeios tem se tornado o elemento transacional do carro produto para o carro serviço; (c) é prerrogativa que a indústria automotiva se associe ou incorpore as expertises das empresas de tecnologias e, por fim, (d) a aplicação dos conceitos relacionados à experiência do usuário se mostra indissociável para reduzir as frustrações dos usuários quanto à utilização dos novos automóveis.

W artykule przybliżono stosunkowo nowe zagadnienie inteligentnych wiosek (smart villages), które mają istotne znaczenie dla rozwoju obszarów wiejskich, zarówno ze względu na nowe możliwości tworzenia miejsc pracy, jak i z punktu widzenia jakości życia na wsi. Społeczność zamieszkująca obszary tzw. inteligentnych wsi wykorzystuje innowacyjne rozwiązania w celu poprawy warunków pracy i życia, opierając się na lokalnych atutach, możliwościach i mocnych stronach obszarów wiejskich. Koncepcja inteligentnych wsi nie zawiera jednego uniwersalnego rozwiązania. Opiera się ona na potrzebach i potencjale danego terytorium oraz na strategii i jest wspierana przez nowe lub istniejące strategie terytorialne. W smart villages kluczowe są technologie, inwestycje w infrastrukturę, rozwój przedsiębiorczości, kapitał ludzki, zdolności i budowanie społeczności. Bardzo ważne jest również zaangażowanie społeczności lokalnych.

Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of the electrostatic field
on seeds of soybean (Glycine max L), vetch (Vicia spp. L.), pea (Pisum
sativum L.), grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) which were selected at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in
Novi Sad. The DC voltage of 9V was used. The durations of seed treatment
were 0 (control), 1, 2 and 3 minutes. The trial was set up as a randomized
block design with four replications. 4x100 seeds of each variant and control
(untreated seed) were treated. After treatment, seed quality was examined
using a germination test (optimal temperature) and a cold test (low
temperature). The results of the study showed that the effect of the
electrostatic field on seed quality depended on the plant species, the time
of seed treatment and the temperature conditions in which the seed
germinated after treatment. The increase in germination energy ranged up to
18.18% in vetch, and a decrease of up to 12% was observed in chickpea. The
application of the electrostatic field had a significantly greater impact on
seeds that were exposed to low temperatures in the germination process after
treatment. The increase in seed germination ranged up to 82.35% in
chickpeas, and the decrease amounted to 92.68% in peas. In addition, the
obtained results indicate that it is not possible to talk about the
universal application of a certain duration of seed treatment.

Published: December 2021

The development of science and technology introduces new approaches in plant
breeding and various methods to increase plant productivity. One of the
latest methods is the implementation of an environmentally friendly
technique of using a pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic field (PEMP). The
paper presents the results of the influence of the electromagnetic
stimulation of soybean seeds on grain weight per plant, weight of 1,000
grains and grain yield in different agroecological conditions. In the
three-year research, in the period from 2013 to 2015, the soybean variety
Valjevka was used, grown with different amounts of fertilizers (control -
without fertilization, 750 kg/ha and 1300 kg/ha). Before sowing, the seed
was subjected to PEMP stimulation in variants: control - without stimulation
and alternating magnetic field stimulation (PEMP) with induction of 30 mT
and exposure time of 15 minutes. The average grain weight per plant during
seed stimulation was 11.53% (12.09) higher than without PEMP (10.84). The
weight of 1,000 grains with PEMP was 155.99 g, which was 2.06% higher than
the weight of 1,000 grains of the variant without PEMP (152.83 g). The
average soybean grain yield for all three years of research with seed
stimulation was 4.85% higher (3,481.25 kg/ha) than without PEMP (3,320.14
kg/ha). Stimulation of seeds with PEMP has economic justification given the
growth of soybean prices on the world stock market. The results show that
the PEMP treatment of soybean seeds can significantly affect soybean grain
yield and counteract side effects such as drought and lack of fertilizers.

Authors: Ojediran Taiwo , Emiola Isiak
Published: December 2021

Three hundred (300) 21d old (Arbor-acre) broiler chicks apportioned to five
(5) dietary groups of sixty (60) birds each, further replicated six (6)
times were fed graded levels of toasted pigeon pea seed meal (TPSM) to
assess the performance, flock uniformity, organ weights, carcass yield and
hepatic histology at the finisher phase. A maize-full-fat soybean meal diet
served as the control diet (I). The TPSM was incorporated to replace
full-fat soybean meal at 12.5%, 25.0%, 37.5% and 50.0% in diets II, III, IV
and V, respectively. Toasting improved the protein content, ether extract,
fibre content, metabolizable energy and reduced the anti-nutrients except
for oxalate. The final weight, total weight change, average weight gain,
feed conversion ratio, eviscerated weight, breast yield and thigh yield were
significantly influenced (P<0.05), especially depressed at 50% replacement,
unlike the average feed intake, mortality and flock uniformity (P>0.05). The
kidney and abdominal fat were also influenced (P<0.05). There were varying
levels of hepatic degeneration, which increased in intensity as the level of
inclusion increased. They ranged from mild sinusoidal congestion and
cellular infiltration to necrosis of the cells in the liver. Up to 37.5%
TPSM toasted pigeon pea seed meal replacement for soybean meal supported
optimum growth, breast and thigh yield, and mild to moderate hepatic
disruptions.

Authors: Lee Hyeon-Jong , Choi Dong-Soon , Jang Insan , Cha Bong-Kuen
Published: December 2021

Objectives

To investigate long-term outcomes of dentoskeletal changes induced by facemask therapy using skeletal anchorage in Class III patients and compare them to those of conventional tooth-borne anchorage.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective study included 20 patients who received facemask (FM) therapy with miniplates as anchorage for maxillary protraction (Miniplate/FM group, 10.6 ± 1.1 years old [mean ± SD]) and 23 patients who were treated with facemask with rapid maxillary expander (RME/FM group, 10.0 ± 1.5 years old [mean ± SD]). Dentoskeletal changes were evaluated using lateral cephalograms at pretreatment (T1), after facemask therapy (T2), and at the post-pubertal stage (T3). Cephalometric changes were compared between groups and clinical success rates at T3 were evaluated.

Results

SNA and A to N perpendicular to FH increased significantly more in the Miniplate/FM group than in the RME/FM group when comparing short-term effects of facemask therapy (T1–T2). ANB, Wits appraisal, Angle of convexity, mandibular plane angle, and overjet decreased significantly more in the RME/FM group than in the Miniplate/FM group after facemask therapy (T2–T3). A more favorable intermaxillary relationship was observed in the Miniplate/FM group than in the RME/FM group in long-term observations (T1–T3). Clinical success rate at T3 was 95% in the Miniplate/FM group and 85% in the RME/FM group.

Conclusions

Facemask therapy with skeletal anchorage showed a greater advancement of the maxilla and more favorable stability for correction of Class III malocclusion in the long-term than conventional facemask therapy with tooth-borne anchorage.

Diagnosis dan Penatalaksanaan Hemoroid
Authors: Pradiantini Kadek Helen Yustika , Dinata I Gede Surya
Published: December 2021

Hemoroid merupakan jaringan normal yang terdapat pada semua orang. Hemoroid terdiri dari pleksus arteri-vena yang berfungsi sebagai katup dalam saluran anus untuk membantu sistem sfingter anus, mencegah inkontinensia flatus dan cairan. Bila hemoroid menyebabkan suatu keluhan seperti rasa tidak nyaman, gatal pada anus atau bahkan perdarahan lewat anus, maka perlu diperhatikan dan ditangani lebih lanjut. Hemoroid dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi hemoroid interna dan hemoroid eksterna. Penyebab dari hemoroid belum diketahui secara pasti, tetapi ada hal-hal paling umum yang diduga dapat memicu terjadinya hemoroid, yaitu, mengejan terlalu keras saat proses defekasi, kehamilan, asites dan faktor usia. Untuk menegakkan diagnosis hemoroid dibutuhkan pemeriksaan penunjang yang mendukung. Hemoroid merupakan kondisi yang sangat umum dan mempengaruhi sekitar 10 juta orang per tahun. Satu studi memperkirakan bahwa lebih dari 50% populasi AS yang berusia di atas 50 tahun memiliki pengalaman tentang penyakit hemoroid. Dari beberapa penelitian yang dilakukan, orang yang lebih sering menderita hemoroid berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan puncak terjadinya hemoroid berada pada usia 35 sampai 65 tahun dan jarang terjadi pada usia dibawah 20 tahun.  Meskipun hemoroid tidak mengancam jiwa, tetapi penyakit ini sangat berpotensi mengurangi kualitas hidup seseorang. Tatalaksana untuk hemoroid tergantung dari derajat keparahan hemoroid itu sendiri. Terapi untuk hemoroid dapat berupa terapi konservatif, terapi non bedah dan terapi bedah. Kata kunci: Hemoroid, Gejala, Klasifikasi, Tatalaksana.

Authors: Julieta Ni Putu Narithya , Widiastuti Giri Made Kurnia
Published: December 2021

Postpartum hemorrhage merupakan penyebab kematian tertinggi pada ibu hamil utamanya pada negara berkembang. Hal ini disebabkan oleh berbagai kondisi yang di kelompokkan dalam 4T yaitu tone, tissue, trauma, dan trombosis namun atoni uteri yang termasuk dalam kelompok tone menempati posisi teratas. Tingginya angka kematian di negara berkembang memiliki korelasi dengan penatalaksanaan manajemen aktif kala tika. Ketersediaan oksitosin dan uterotonikyang terbatas di berbagai wilayah menyebabkan manajemen aktif kala tiga tidak bisa dilakukan, hal ini berpotensi tinggi berujung pada postpartum hemorrhage. Di lain sisi, aspek kultur budaya, sosial, ekonomi, dan tingkat pendidikan dari masyarakat juga mempengaruhi tingkat mortalitas dari postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage terjadi dengan cepat dan tak terprediksi sehingga klinisi harus segera menyadari saat hal ini terjadi. Hingga saat ini belum ada algoritma tatalaksana yang pasti terkait pencegahan postpartum hemorrhage namun kunci dari keberhasilan penanganan adalah identifikasi penyebab perdarahan yang akurat dan cepat. Identifikasi dari postpartum hemorrhage dapat dilakukan dengan Obstetric Shock Index (OSI), sistem pengukuran menggunakan Quantitative Blood Loss (QBL), dan The Rule of 30. Penatalaksanaan terkait postpartum hemorrhage disesuaikan dengan kondisi dari ibu saat persalinan dan juga tahapan persalinan. Pasien dengan resiko postpartum hemorrhage akan mendapatkan tatalaksana yang berbeda baik pada kala satu, kala dua, dan kala tiga. Kunci dari pencegahan postpartum hemorrhage adalah dengan pemberian oksitosin dan uterotonik. Pencegahan dapat dilakukan dengan melakukan program pengenalan dan pemanfaatan fasilitas kesehatan serta melakukan manajemen aktif kala tiga Kata kunci: Postpartum hemorrhage, kematian, ibu hamil

Published: December 2021

Luka bakar merupakan salah satu insiden yang sering terjadi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tujuan dari penelitian berdasarkan studi pustaka ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak propolis dalam penyembuhan luka bakar derajat II pada hewan uji. Propolis kaya akan manfaat seperti menjadi antimikroba, antibakteri, antimikotik, astringent, spasmolitik, anti-inflamasi, anestesi, antioksidan, antiulcer, antikanker, serta memiliki efek imunomodulator yang dapat mendukung penyembuhan luka bakar derajat II. Senyawa flavonoid, fenol, arginine, asam ferulat, dan albumin berperan baik dalam menurunkan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme, mempercepat perbaikan jaringan dan menghambat munculnya ROS atau Reactive Oxygen Species pada luka bakar.Ekstrak propolis dengan konsentrasi 100% telah terbukti lebih efektif dalam mempercepat penyembuhan luka bakar derajat II pada hewan uji. Pemberian propolis dengan dosis pemberian yang berbeda menunjukkan perbedaan lamanya waktu penyembuhan luka bakar yang ditandai oleh perbedaan nilai rata-rata luas luka bakar dalam setiapwaktu pengukuran. Berdasarkan analisis hipotesis peneliti, efektivitas penyembuhan luka bakar dipengaruhi oleh dosis pemberian ekstrak propolis pada luka bakar tersebut. Dimana keduanya memiliki hubungan yang sebanding, peningkatan dosis pemberian propolis dapat mempercepat penyembuhan luka bakar derajat II.Burns are one of the incidents that often occur in life. The purpose of this research based on literature study was to determine the effectiveness of propolis extract in healing second degree burns in tested animals. Propolis is rich in benefits such as being antimicrobial, antibacterial, antimycotic, astringent, spasmolytic, anti- inflammatory, anesthetic, antioxidant, antiulcer, anticancer, and has an immunomodulatory effect that can support healing of second degree burns. Flavonoids, phenols, arginine, ferulic acid, and albumin have a good role in reducing the growth of microorganisms, accelerating tissue repair and inhibiting the appearance of ROS or Reactive Oxygen Species in burns.Propolis extract with a concentration of 100% has been proven to be more effective in accelerating the healing of second degree burns in test animals. Giving propolis with different doses showed a difference in length of time to heal burns, indicated by differences in the average value of burns in each measurement time. Based on the analysis of the researchers' hypothesis, the effectiveness of healing burns was influenced by the dose of propolis extract on the burns. Both have an equal relation, increasing thedose of giving propolis can accelerate the healing of second degree burns Keywords: second degree burns, propolis, effectiveness of propolisextrac

Authors: Dinata I Gede Surya , Yasa Anak Agung Gede Wira Pratama
Published: December 2021

Laporan dari International Diabetes Federation Tahun 2019 menyebutkan bahwa tingkat kejadian Diabetes Melitus (DM) meningkat setiap tahunnya dan diperkirakan sekitar 629 Juta orang di seluruh dunia menderita DM pada tahun 2045. Hal ini tentunya berdampak pada peningkatan dari komplikasi yang ditimbulkan oleh DM salah satunya adalah Diabetic Foot Infection (DFI) atau Infeksi Kaki Diabetes (IKD). IKD merupakan komplikasi lanjutan dari kaki diabetik yang ditandai oleh adanya proses invasi mikroorganisme yang berkembang di jaringan dalam seperti kulit, otot, tendon, sendi, tulang pada ekstremitas bawah, tepatnya di bawah malleoli. IKD dapat menimbulkan morbiditas dan mortalitas yang signifikan, termasuk kecacatan, mobilitas berkurang, penurunan kualitas hidup pada aspek fisik dan mental, serta ancaman kehilangan anggota tubuh oleh karena amputasi. Selain itu, penyakit ini juga dikaitkan dengan komplikasi DM lainnya seperti komplikasi neuropati perifer, Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), dan infeksi pada pasien DM. Dalam melakukan tatalaksana terhadap pasien DM dengan ataupun berisiko IKD, diperlukan perawatan lebih lanjut yang harus didasari dengan tingkat keparahan infeksi. Sebagian besar kasus IKD memiliki kecenderungan amputasi sehingga penting untuk dilakukan penatalaksanaan dan pencegahan secara komprehensif dengan melibatkan manajemen multidisiplin dengan  ahli bedah (umum, vaskular, ortopedi), penyakit dalam, dan perawat luka, sehingga dapat mengurangi waktu penyembuhan luka, tingkat, dan keparahan amputasi.

Keluhan ini sering muncul akibat pengaruh penggunaan perangkat digital dalam waktu yang lama terutama lebih dari 6 jam perhari. Penderita asthenopia secara global mencapai 60 juta orang yang didominasi usia muda. Gejala asthenopia yang paling sering dirasakan adalah keluhan mata kering, kesulitan dalam memfokuskan objek, mata tegang, mata lelah, dan sakit kepala. Diagnosis asthenopia dapat dilakukan secara subjektif dengan menggunakan kuesioner standar ataupun secara objektif dengan pemeriksaan lanjutan. Pemeriksaan yang dapat dilakukan berupa pengukuran Critical Flicker-fusion Frequency (CFF), pengukuran frekuensi berkedip, kemampuan akomodasi, serta refleks cahaya dan ukuran pupil yang dapat memberikan gambaran lebih jelas ke arah asthenopia. Tatalaksana dan terapi pada asthenopia diberikan untuk meredakan gejala dan mengatasi penyebabnya seperti terapi untuk mengatasi mata kering, koreksi gangguan refraksi, terapi gangguan akomodasi dan vergensi, dan penggunaan kacamata filter cahaya biru. Walaupun asthenopia terjadi secara hilang timbul, penyakit ini dapat menjadi menetap dan berkembang menimbulkan keluhan permanen. Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan hasil literature review dari penelitian terkait diagnosis, tatalaksana, dan terapi asthenopia yang sudah dipublikasi. Penulisan artikel ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan acuan dalam menindaklanjuti kasus asthenopia sehingga prevalensi dan insidensinya dapat ditekan.

Despite the extensive literature on multinational companies’ (MNCs) human resource management (HRM) systems and practices from developed countries, there are gaps in the literature concerning emerging countries multinational companies’ (EMNCs) HRM practices and systems at home and host countries. This thesis examines the transfer of HRM practices in Nigerian subsidiaries of MNCs from South Africa (an emerging country). This study empirically examines the similarities and differences of South African MNCs’ HRM systems and practices at both the South African headquarters and the subsidiaries in Nigeria. Purposely, the study attempts to shed light on the nature of the employment practices, the transfer of HRM practices and the factors that influence the transfer process. The study adopted a qualitative approach with data/evidence collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. It focused on group discussions conducted in the subsidiaries of three South African MNCs in Nigeria. The data was gathered primarily from HR managers, directors and officers in the Nigerian subsidiaries of the South African MNCs. The study revealed that the South African MNCs hybridised their recruitment and selection processes and localised compensation and employee relations. However, performance appraisal, talent management and code of conduct practices were mainly transferred to subsidiaries with minimal adaptation to contextual realities. Further research and practical implications are discussed in this thesis.

Published: December 2021

The paper presents the analysis of the resources of structural and parametric optimization of gas-hydrodynamic measuring transducers of physical and mechanical parameters of fluids. Resources such as the number of throttles and their arrangement in the diagram, type of throttle elements, measuring channels with a certain type of output signal, the supply mode of the measuring transducer can be integrated into the design process of the measuring transducer of a specific parameter. A mathematical apparatus based on set theory and combinatorial analysis is proposed for synthesizing the possible structures of throttle diagrams, graph theory – for forming a set of measuring channels. The authors have given examples demonstrating the possibilities of building different diagrams of measuring transducers using the resources for structural synthesis. The proposed resources are the means of structural and parametric optimization for synthesizing the gas-hydrodynamic measuring transducers with optimal characteristics.
Straw Boats and the Proverbial Sea: A Response to ‘Island Archaeology: In Search of a New Horizon’
Authors: M. Fitzpatrick Scott , M. Erlandson Jon , Anderson Atholl , V. Kirch Patrick
Published: December 2021

In a recent ISJ paper, “Island Archaeology: In Search of a New Horizon”, Boomert and Bright (2007) argue that the field of “island archaeology” should be replaced by an “archaeology of maritime identity”. We disagree and counter that although islands share many physical, biological, and cultural similarities with continental coasts, coastal zones also grade uninterruptedly into riverine, lacustrine, and terrestrial landscapes, raising questions about the validity of their concept of the archaeology of maritime identity. In our view, island archaeology (the application of archaeology to island settings), regardless of past biogeographical underpinnings, has made major contributions to understanding the historical ecology, human impacts, and cultural developments of islands around the world. A focus on islands by archaeologists has encouraged scholars to study the history of island and maritime societies within a comparative framework that is useful for breaking out of the often provincial focus on a single island or archipelago.

Prediction of a bilateral lesion of the optic nerves by means of the ischemic process
Authors: O. D. Rudkovskaya
Published: December 2021

We have examined 2 groups of patients with unilateral and bilateral ischemic neuroopticopathy. The duration of the patients’ follow-up is 10 years.It has been established that hypermetropic anisometropia is observed in case of unilateral ischemic neuroopticopathy, whereas with the bilateral one – hypermetropic isometropia. It has been suggested to regard the presence of identical refraction on the paired eyes to be a marker of the bilateral ischemic   process in the optic nerves in case of unilateral neuroopticopathy.

Published: December 2021

The paper presents the results of studying the features of the cytokine status and indicators of local immunity of children with acute respiratory viral infection, proceeding with the manifestations of the syndrome of croup, and an evaluation of the efficiency of using bacterial lysates in a multimodality treatment of patients. It has been corroborated that edematous and hypersecretory variants of croup proceed against a background of a considerable intensification of a systemic inflammatory response and a decrease of the factors of local immunity; whereas the spasmodic variant – develops against a background of the physiologic level of cytokines and an increase of the factors of local immunity in the acute period of the disease. The use of bacterial lysates in multimodality therapy of patients with the edematous variant of the syndrome of croup is accompanied with an insignificant decrease in the level of cytokines, whereas with the hypersecretory variant the content of cytokines decreases almost 4-5 times. Against a background of the intake of bacterial lysates with the edematous variant the activity and content of the factors of local immunity rises somewhat, but their level remains lower than the indicators of the control group, with the hypersecretory variant their level reaches the indicators of healthy children. The results of the research enable to recommend bacterial lysates to be used in multimodality therapy of patients afflicted with the hypersecretory variant of croup that will promote a more rapid normalization of the systemic inflammatory reaction and a stimulation of the production and activation of the factors of local immunity in sick children.
An evaluation of the efficacy of therapeutic approaches to correcting the indices of the systems of coagulation and fibrinolysis, inflammation markers in patients with diabetes mellitus of type 2 with obesity
Authors: K. F. Kehiopulo
Published: December 2021

The paper investigates the state of the systems of coagulation and fibrinolysis, the level of proinflammatory markers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) of type 2 and obesity, in a correlation with risk factors of the development of cardiovascular diseases, as well as the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches to a correction of disturbed indicators of inflammation, hemostasis and fibrinolysis. It has been established that rational hypocaloric feeding, measures of a modification of the life style and the intake of metformin contribute to a statistically significant body weight loss, however, they are ineffective for correcting proinflammatory and procoagulant disorders. Combined therapy, including the intake of metformin and liraglutide is condurive to a more significal reduction of the body weight as compared with metformin monotherapy and contributes to an improvement of the parameters of lipid metabolism, a correction of proinflammatory disturbances and fibrinolytic insufficiency associated with DM.
