Authors: Gupte Sunil Govind , Raj Aishwary
Published: March 2022

Introduction: According to World Health Organization (WHO), cerebrovascular stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability all over the world. Infarct alters brain function which leads to neuropsychiatric sequela. Psychiatric morbidities are common in stroke-survivor cohorts and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Aims and Objectives: The present study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital to understand the different psychiatric morbidities in patients with cerebrovascular accidents (stroke). Material and Methods: 150 stroke survivors were included in the study after they satisfied the eligibility criteria. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) 7.0.0 was applied to diagnose the psychiatric illness in the patients. Results: Out of 150 patients 79 patients (52.66%) had psychiatric illness. Out of the 150 patients, 50 patients (33.33%) had Major Depressive Disorder, 24 patients (16%) had Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), 3 patients (2%) were diagnosed with psychotic disorder whereas 2 Patients (1.33%) had social phobia. Out of which 50 patients (33.33%) were having Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), 24 patients (16%) were having Generalized Anxiety Disorder, 3 patients (2%) were having psychotic disorder and 2 Patients (1.33%) were having Social phobia. Most of the patients had ischemic type of stroke (133 patients) , left sided lesion (88 patients) being the most common. Conclusion: Major depressive disorder was the most common psychiatric illness followed by generalized anxiety disorder. The psychiatric illness was not associated with type of stroke and side of lesion.

Introduction: Distal Tibia fractures are considered as a surgeon's nightmare as it is difficult to treat due to less muscle cover, precarious blood supply and its proximity to ankle joint. Here we compare two surgical procedures Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) and Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) methods. Aims and Objectives: Study was done to compare results between surgical approaches ORIF vs. MIPO in treatment of lower third tibia fractures. Methodology: The study included 64 patients out of which 32 were treated by ORIF and remaining 32 by MIPO. Outcome was evaluated on the basis of length of incision, duration of surgery, blood loss, duration of stay, mobilization with partial and full weight bearing, AOFAS grading. Results: Length of incision, blood loss, mobilization at full weight bearing was significantly higher in ORIF group as compared to MIPO and was statistically significant. Results and Conclusion: MIPO offers biological advantages over conventional plating techniques in terms of low surgical trauma, preservation of the blood supply, lesser evacuation of osteogenic fracture hematoma and stable construct.

Novel corona virus is a new strain of corona virus family, caused by SARS-CoV-2, probably of bat origin, not previously identified in humans. The time between entry of virus in body and start of first symptoms is the incubation period of the disease. For COVID-19 the incubation period is from two days to fourteen days. COVID-19 disease spreads through small droplets from nose and mouth. Spread is also through skin contacts and even through air while speaking. Blood is an integral part of the healthcare system. During the COVID-19 pandemic blood transfusion services were affected worldwide. The blood transfusion service had to face many challenges also in India. Voluntary blood donation was decreased which is the main source of blood and blood components. In lockdown, problems of transport services, less staff, fear of getting infected all these factors affected the blood donation services. This pandemic has influenced the blood donation activities causing shortage of blood and blood components and thus affected the blood inventory. Hence the blood services had to make appropriate plans to meet the requirements of patients.

Authors: Sankhlecha Sunita , Mali Jyotsna
Published: March 2022

Background: Basic Life Support (BLS)/Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a core skill in which all health care professionals should be proficient, in case of an emergency to save lives. It is logical to provide BLS training during undergraduate years ensuring basic competence in all graduating healthcare students. Objectives: The present research was undertaken with an objective to know the knowledge of BLS and awareness about BLS among medical students in Nashik. Methods and Materials: This cross sectional study was carried out among randomly selected 358 medical undergraduate students. Pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire included the following parts: 1. Basic characteristics of the study participants, 2. Knowledge about BLS/CPR, 3. Awareness about BLS/CPR. The components of knowledge and awareness based questions were scored. The data was analyzed using SPSS version12. Results: The majority (87.8%) of students had heard of BLS/CPR, among them 40.6% could give the correct order of performing CPR as per the AHA guidelines (Year 2010). Only 20% of students had undergone prior training in BLS while 19.7% had been in a situation that needed BLS/CPR. Overall awareness was not favorable and approximately 68.9% of the students were no tconfident of performing BLS/CPR. Only 46.5% of students had adequate knowledge about BLS/CPR. Conclusions: The major lack of knowledge and awareness is due to lack of training. Hence it is essential to train the students in CPR/BLS early in the curriculum to improve their knowledge and repeated training would increase their confidence.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis includes wide spectrum of disease, from one with mild self-limiting symptoms, to fulminant processes with multiorgan failure and high mortality. Most experience relatively minor episodes of disease characterized by mild parenchymal edema without distant organ dysfunction and uneventful recovery. Severe episodes, however, may involve a progression to extensive pancreatic necrosis, development of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), multiorgan failure, rapid clinical deterioration, and even death. Although the overall mortality rate for acute pancreatitis is 2–10%, this is related primarily to 10–30% of patients with severe disease characterized by pancreatic and peripancreatic necrosis. Aims and Objectives: To study the etiology and clinical profile of acute pancreatitis. Material and Methods: Data collection by meticulous history taking and clinical examination, appropriate laboratory and radiological investigations and follow-up of cases. Results: Study was conducted with 50 patients. The peak incidence of acute Pancreatitis was observed in 2nd to 4th decade. Mean age of the study subjects was 39.78 years with 55% of the cases between 21-40 years of age. The findings shows that pancreatitis occurs in relatively younger adults. Strong male predominance was seen among study subjects as there were 72% males and 28% females with male to female ratio as 2.57:1. Conclusion: Acute Pancreatitis is more common in 2nd to 4th decades. Acute Pancreatitis is more common in males. Pancreatitis was observed to be more common among young adults especially male with alcoholism induced pancreatitis being the commonest etiology followed by biliary etiology. Most of the patients were presented with pain in abdomen with ascites being the commonest complication. Majority of the cases can be managed successfully with conservative approach and the overall mortality is low, however cases with severe pancreatitis and associated organ failure tends to have higher mortality.

Published: March 2022

Background: Proximal humerus fractures account for 4-5% of all fractures. The treatment options for fractures of proximal humerus includes transosseous suture fixation, intramedullary nailing, open reduction and internal fixation using plate and percutaneous pinning. The ideal treatment of displaced proximal humeral fracture is still the centre of scientific debate. Various minimally invasive modalities have been on the rise for the past 10/15 years. This minimally invasive fixation method allows preservation of blood supply of the humeral head. The smaller K-wires used in JESS have lesser risk of soft tissue, neural, and vascular injury. Aim and Objective: To find the functional Outcome of JESS fixation for proximal humerus fracture in 33 patients. Materials and Methods: 33 patients with proximal humerus fracture were treated by JESS fixator and their functional outcome was studied. Results and Conclusion: The mean Constant Murley Score preoperatively was 29.09 which raise to 60.39 at 4 weeks post operatively, 69.97 at 8 weeks post operatively and 79.64 at 12 weeks post-operative. Thus JESS fixator is an affordable, cost effective alternative treatment option for proximal humerus fracture with minimal complications.

Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to neuropsychological approach in teaching children through the prism of partnership pedagogy as a key component of NUS. The essence of the concepts of “partnership pedagogy”, “neuropsychology” is considered. The focus is made on the recently coined term “cooperation pedagogy”. Manuals, articles of domestic and foreign teachers on the partnership between school and family are covered. It is proved that according to the NUS Concept, the common goal for parents, teachers and administration of an educational institution is to educate and raise successful children with developed intellect who understand their own emotions, know how to control them, listen to others, and etc. It was found that the founder of neuropsychology is considered to be Luria, A., who developed a theory of localization of higher mental functions of the brain. It is proved that the concept of “higher mental functions” appeared due to Vygotsky, L., who formulated the main statements in this direction. It was found that Ukrainian teachers together with parents are aimed at teaching and raising a healthy, successful child. It has been observed that difficulties in student teaching are caused by dysfunction of one of the hemispheres of the brain. Neuropsychologists proved that the reason of this is neuromotor immaturity. It is noted that there are many resources for Ukrainian teachers which they can use to improve their knowledge of neuropsychology. Emphasis is placed on the benefits of kinesiological exercises. Various tools are highlighted that can be used by educators and parents for neuropsychological correction of the child. The focus is made on organization of partnership pedagogy in foreign schools. It is stated that a Center for Development and Evaluation of Family Model Partnerships has been established in London.

Authors: Toleubekova Rymshash Kameshovna , Zhumataeva Engilika , Sarzhanova Galiya B.
Published: March 2022

The aim of the research is to establish whether the attitudes held by master’s students majoring in Education towards the traditional values of the Kazakh people change as a result of studying an elective course in Ethnopedagogy. Based on an analysis of works by Kazakh researchers, a classification of the traditional values of the Kazakh people was made. On the basis of this classification, the authors developed a questionnaire to identify attitudes towards these values. A survey was conducted among master’s degree students majoring in Education at S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University and L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. The sample of the study was 119 people: 59 students formed the experimental group (the one where the elective course was taught), the remaining 60 were in the control group (that did not study the course). The survey was conducted twice: before the beginning and after the end of the course. The results of the first survey showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. The second survey clearly showed positive changes in the attitudes towards the traditional values of the Kazakh people in the experimental group, while in the control group the results remained approximately at the level of the first survey. The authors came to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen the national and cultural components in the content of pedagogical education in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
La figura y el espejo. Mimesis, cuerpo, nación
Authors:   Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico, García de la Sienra Rodrigo
Published: March 2022

This essay explicitly formulates the notion of “heterogeneous mimesis”, which Antonio Cornejo Polar implicitly outlined in his later works, but without enough time to complete a full theoretical development. In accordance with other notions, such as “contradictory totality”, “migrant subject”, and of course “heterogeneity”, this essay seeks to give a theoretical account of the relationship between a notion as complex and old as mimesis, and the use of the organicist metaphor of “body”, within the imaginary of the literary historiographies of the Latin American nations.

Authors:   Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico, García Meza Norma Esther , de León Torres María Soledad ,   Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico
Published: March 2022

Guided by the concepts of ‘memory’, ‘language’, and ‘daily life’, the following essay presents seven distinct settings which describe some of the stories that encapsulate the diverse experiences that humanity is going through under the confinement of the covid-19 worldwide pandemic. It is our goal to reflect on the impact that such experiences are having on society and anticipate the many outcomes to which the transformation of certain cultural practices could give rise to. Under the assumption that, even after the confinement has ended, certain collective behaviors and conducts will suffer an irreversible change which will be observed in the radical alteration of our routines, perceptions of our daily life, and how we build our interpersonal relationships, it is our wish to underline the areas of social life in which we can already perceive these transformations. The focus of deliberations here presented do not intend to assert unique and unequivocal answers, but to indicate some directions around which the insights that will become of great relevance are beginning to emerge to understand the path of the socio-cultural changes that the pandemic has brought about.

In this essay we intend to make a reading that transcends their categories of interpretation, based on the guidelines themselves Kierkegaard’s reading about his pseudonyms, but at the same time, we will save some elements of Deleuze and Guattari’s reflections to see how it can enrich the notion of “conceptual character” for Kierkegaardian studies.
Cooperation Between Vietnam and Russia in the Field of Labor Migration: Directions and New Opportunities
Authors: Dang Minh Duc , Nguyen Chi Hieu , Чан Динь Хунг
Published: March 2022

Current Vietnam – Russia relations are a continuation of the former Vietnam – Soviet Union traditional relations. Looking back at the reality and prospect of cooperation between the two countries over the past 20 years, from a strategic partnership to a comprehensive partnership, it can be seen that both sides have their potential and interests in this cooperation. These relations are increasingly deepening, especially in the areas where both sides have strong points, starting from politics and diplomacy, economy, culture and society, and up to national security and defense, where the two countries have reached great achievements. In particular, labor cooperation is an important foundation for promoting Vietnam – Russia relations to the next level. Vietnam with a population of 96.2 million people, has a labor force accounting for nearly two-thirds of the population including young, qualified and skilled workers. Therefore, sending workers abroad is a major policy of Vietnam in order to create jobs for workers and develop the country’s socio-economic sphere in the process of international integration. After many years of stagnation, the Labor Cooperation Agreement was signed (in 2008) between the two sides as an important foundation for sending the Vietnamese labor force to work in the Russian Federation. The COVID-19 pandemic also has a profound impact on Russia in all aspects – not only on the country’s economic and social development in general but also on the lives of migrant workers and labor cooperation between Russia and Vietnam in particular. The paper analyzes labor cooperation between the two sides, including its legal basis, and proposes a number of solutions to overcome difficulties caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: March 2022

Migration is a historical issue that exists along with the evolution of humanity. Since 2015, Europe has witnessed a strong wave of illegal migrant arrivals from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, creating an economic, political, security, and social crisis in the region. This article is devoted to discussing how the migrant crisis has affected regional security and the reasons why the policy responses of the EU and member states are effective enough to handle this phenomenon. First, the author presents an overview of the migrant crisis in Europe since 2015 by indicating statistical information of the number of migrants coming to Europe each year, and demonstrating the motivations of their choices. Second, four negative impacts of the migrant crisis on the security of Europe are pinpointed. Third, the article seeks to deliver an in-depth analysis of European countries’ policy responses to this problem, which opens up wholly new prospects, raises new questions, and presents new efforts towards the promotion of global and regional integration, cooperation, and unity. On this basis, the author personally comes up with some policy implications for Vietnam in dealing with the migration issue. To achieve these research objectives, the author mainly uses popular research methodologies in social science and international relations in particular to find out answers to the raised questions.

Authors: Khramova Marina , Smirnov Alexey
Published: March 2022

The article analyzes the situation of the Russian-speaking communities in Hungary before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some data are given on the size and distribution of the Russian-speaking population of Hungary, the features of adaptation to new conditions and communication during the pandemic. It is shown that the most difficult period was between the first and third waves, when strict restrictions on movement were introduced in Hungary, many enterprises and organizations were closed, and university students switched to online learning. The impact of restrictive measures was especially felt by those compatriots who are involved in the tourism sector, owners of small businesses, where the transition to a remote mode of doing business was difficult for various reasons. Based on the data of Rostourism, as well as the Central Statistical Office of Hungary, the trends of tourist flows to Hungary from Russia in 2014-2020 are studied. Among European countries, Hungary was the first country to open for Russian tourists in the second half of 2021. Without being included in the top five European countries attractive to Russians before the pandemic, Hungary became a “window to Europe” in 2021 and significantly strengthened its position in terms of demand among Russians. The key attraction factors were the recognition of the Russian Sputnik-V vaccine, the possibility of entry by PCR test, the removal of the need for quarantine after arrival by the fall of 2021, relatively low prices in the country, and the opportunity to purchase inexpensive air tickets. In conclusion, it is concluded that the Russian-speaking communities in Hungary as a whole showed fairly good adaptability to the conditions of the pandemic.

Published: March 2022

Abstract: Theories suggest that nasal polyps occur as a result of chronic inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucosa. Eosinophils are the main inflammatory cells found in nasal polyp tissue. The severity of nasal polyps can be seen from the CT Scan of the Paranasal Sinus (PNS) using the Lund-Mackay score. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the eosinophil count of nasal polyp tissue and the Lund-Mackay score of CT Scan PNS of nasal polyps patients in Arifin Achmad Hospital, Riau Province. Examination of the eosinophil count was carried out microscopically using histopathological preparations of nasal polyp tissue with semiquantitative assessment, and Lund-Mackay score was assessed from the CT Scan of the PNS. From the 14 samples collected, there were 8 men (57.1%) more than 6 women (42.9%) with an average age of 30.43 ± 17.36 years old. Eosinophil counts were obtained in 5  (35,7%) samples 1/2+,  5 (35.7%) samples 1+, and negative in 4 samples (28,6%). While the Lund-Mackay score obtained an average value of 10.21 ± 6.87 with a low category in 11 (78.6%) and high in 3 (21.4%) samples. Patients with high Lund-Mackay scores tend to have higher eosinophil counts which reflect a more severe degree of disease severity in nasal polyps.Keywords: Eosinophil; Lund-Mackay Score; Nasal polyp; Paranasal sinus

Asymptotics and Confluence for a Singular Nonlinear Q-Difference-Differential Cauchy Problem
Authors: Malek Stephane
Published: March 2022

We examine a family of nonlinear q-difference-differential Cauchy problems obtained as a coupling of linear Cauchy problems containing dilation q-difference operators, recently investigated by the author, and quasi-linear Kowalevski type problems that involve contraction q-difference operators. We build up local holomorphic solutions to these problems. Two aspects of these solutions are explored. One facet deals with asymptotic expansions in the complex time variable for which a mixed type Gevrey and q-Gevrey structure is exhibited. The other feature concerns the problem of confluence of these solutions as q tends to 1.
Why and How We Should Join the Shift From Significance Testing to Estimation
Authors: Berner Daniel , Amrhein Valentin
Published: March 2022

A paradigm shift away from null hypothesis significance testing seems in progress. Based on simulations, we illustrate some of the underlying motivations. First, P-values vary strongly from study to study, hence dichotomous inference using significance thresholds is usually unjustified. Second, statistically significant results have overestimated effect sizes, a bias declining with increasing statistical power. Third, statistically non-significant results have underestimated effect sizes, and this bias gets stronger with higher statistical power. Fourth, the tested statistical hypotheses usually lack biological justification and are often uninformative. Despite these problems, a screen of 48 papers from the 2020 volume of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology exemplifies that significance testing is still used almost universally in evolutionary biology. All screened studies tested default null hypotheses of zero effect with the default significance threshold of p = 0.05, none presented a pre-specified alternative hypothesis, pre-study power calculation, and the probability of ‘false negatives’(beta error). The results sections of the papers presented 49 significance tests on average (median 23, range 0–390). Of 41 studies that contained verbal descriptions of a ‘statistically non-significant’ result, 26 (63%) falsely claimed the absence of an effect. We conclude that studies in ecology and evolutionary biology are mostly exploratory and descriptive. We should thus shift from claiming to ‘test’ specific hypotheses statistically to describing and discussing many hypotheses (possible true effect sizes) that are most compatible with our data, given our statistical model. We already have the means for doing so, because we routinely present compatibility (‘confidence’) intervals covering these hypotheses.
