Tratamiento informativo de la crisis de la pedofilia en la Iglesia católica: Análisis del relato de El País desde el framing
Authors: Minguet-Civera Carola
Published: November 2021

El artículo presenta un estudio del relato elaborado por el diario El País sobre la crisis de la pedofilia que atravesó la Iglesia católica durante el pontificado de Benedicto XVI (2005-2013). Para su examen, se ha acudido como vía metodológica al paradigma del framing, concretamente a una de sus categorías más significativas: el análisis de contenido. Así, se descubre tanto la posición preferente que este tema ha ocupado en la agenda de dicho rotativo, como un encuadre genérico que aúna el conflicto y la atribución de responsabilidad a la institución. Por otro lado, en las piezas analizadas se reconocen ciertos riesgos de los que la literatura advierte cuando se aborda el hecho religioso en la prensa no confesional. A raíz de los hallazgos presentados se puede constatar la distorsión que produce adaptar la narración sobre el hecho religioso a las rutinas del periodismo generalista, que lleva tantas veces a prescindir de los matices, a presentar la información fuera de su contexto. Por ello, se concluye con la propuesta de la especialización en esta área temática como una medida de prevención, considerando la premisa de que la información religiosa sigue siendo una de las que cuenta con menor presencia en la investigación, la producción científica y la enseñanza del periodismo en España.
O Neoliberalismo nos Editoriais: o Discurso de O Globo e O Estado de S. Paulo sobre a Previdência Social brasileira
Authors: Bernardo de Araújo Bruno , Soares Campos Fernanda Safira
Published: November 2021

Este texto analisa a presença de elementos da retórica neoliberal em editoriais dos jornais O Globo e O Estado de S. Paulo sobre as duas propostas de reforma da Previdência Social que tramitaram no Parlamento brasileiro entre os anos de 2017 e 2019, durante os governos de Michel Temer e Jair Bolsonaro. Parte-se de uma discussão sobre o neolibera-lismo, seguida da caracterização do editorial como espaço de enunciação dos interesses da empresa jornalística, identifi-cada neste estudo como um ator político interessado. Na análise empírica, por meio de uma análise do discurso, combi-nada com análise textual, identificam-se os padrões argumentativos dos editorialistas sobre a reforma do sistema previ-denciário nacional. A hipótese do estudo é de que o discurso construído pelos jornais reafirma a perspectiva privatista de direitos, um dos cernes do neoliberalismo. A pesquisa aponta que os jornais forjaram um falso consenso sobre o tema, explorando padrões argumentativos que evidenciam o desempenho da imprensa como dispositivo de vocalização da racionalidade neoliberal em contextos de capitalismo periférico.
Chronic Kidney Disease: Socioeconomic Impact. Findings from a Two Center Study in Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: PK Uduagbamen , JO Ogunkoya , BA Alalade
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Despite the rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), access to adequate renal care is still not available to a very large part of the populace, essentially due to inadequate funds and this has further heightened the burden of the disease on patients and the general society. Measures are therefore needed to highlight this health challenge and proffer solutions.
Methods: A comparative study in which consented 354 consented participants with CKD stage 3-5 gave history, were examined and had blood taken for serum biochemistry and hematocrit to access kidney function.
Results: Two hundred and thirty six males and 118 females participated. The mean age of the participants was 52.11 ± 6.04 yrs. A greater percentage (44.6%) of participants had hypertension as cause of CKD and earned a monthly income less than the national minimum wage (47.7%). A greater proportion of participants had tertiary education (51.4%), were married (64.1%) and travelled less than 50 kilometers (67.5%) to access renal care. The health insured were more likely to be males (P=0.002), aged (P<0.001) have higher hematocrit (P=0.002), albumin (P=0.06), bicarbonate (P=0.04) and GFR (P=0.01)..
The health insured had more frequent dialysis (P<0.001) and erythropoietin use (P<0.001. Forty percent of the health insured had renal transplant compared to 1.6% of the uninsured, P<0.001.
The insured were more associated with IDHT as the uninsured were more associated with IDH. The health insured had a mean dialysis dose (Kt/V 1.34 ± 0.9) compared to 1.13 ± 0.5 for the uninsured, P<0.001. The dialysis dose was positively correlated with frequency of dialysis (P<0.001), and erythropoietin (P<0.001) but was negatively correlated with age (P=0.01) and serum creatinine (P=0.004). Predictors of dialysis dose were insurance status, frequency of dialysis, and erythropoietin, hematocrit, serum albumin and bicarbonate.
Conclusion: Only 11.9% of the CKD cohorts had health insurance coverage and they were more likely to be males, aged, highly educated, with higher hematocrit, and albumin. The health insured had a mean dialysis dose of Kt/V 1.34±0.9 as against 1.13±0.5 for the uninsured. The uninsured had more metabolic acidosis, were younger and being the most active working population, their affectation only further worsens the burden associated with CKD.

Key words: health insured, intradialysis hypotension, intradialysis hypertension, dialysis dose.

Authors: P Malathi.
Published: November 2021

Aim: Present study attempts to assess the “Effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding stem cell banking among staff nurses in hospitals.
Methods and Material: Purposive sampling technique with the pre-experimental and post-test design was used. The sample of this study comprised 60 staff nurses who were working in the Obstetrics and Gynaecological ward. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of the objectives and hypothesis of the study.
Results: In pre-test knowledge on stem cell banking, out of 60 staff nurses, 13(22%) had inadequate knowledge, and in post-test after implementation of SIM, 53(88%) of subjects had adequate knowledge, and 7(12%) had moderate knowledge. The above results indicate that SIM effectively increased the ability of staff nurses on stem cell banking. The association was found between the knowledge scores of subjects with demographic variables such as gender, area of residence, and years of clinical experience, which was significant at the level of 0.05. It is recommended that a similar study can be conducted on a larger sample to arrive at a generalization. Moreover, nurses and midwives are part of health care in all the stages of our lives. Thus, nurses must be knowledgeable and aware of recent trends in diagnosis, treatment. Education provides means by which nurses can remain up to date with current developments, maintain their competence and meet the standards of nursing practice.
Conclusion: The study’s findings reveal that staff nurses' knowledge had enhanced regarding stem cell banking.

Spontaneous Rupture of the Non Gravid Uterus:
A Case Report
Authors: Najam Saima , Mohmed Sana Abady , Aqeel Shehla
Published: November 2021

Uterine rupture can cause serious morbidity and mortality to the women. A complete uterine rupture is a diagnosis made when all three layers of the uterus are separated, while uterine dehiscence is a similar condition in which there is incomplete division of the uterus that does not penetrate all three layers of the uterus. Uterine dehiscence is most often an occult finding in asymptomatic patients. Mostly the uterine rupture is seen in gravid females however it has been reported in non gravid patients as well. Spontaneous uterine rupture is extremely rare to be seen in non gravid patients, but should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen and shock in a non pregnant woman of any age due to its catastrophic consequences. In non gravid uterus the most common cause of the uterine rupture is pelvic trauma, uterine myomas, infection or uterine carcinoma.
We hereby report a case of 44 years old female with previous 4 caesarean sections who came on12th day of her cycle with heavy bleeding, lower abdominal pain and anaemia. She was found to have small fibroids which were blamed for the menorrhagia and she was admitted for the conservative management. She collapsed on day 2 of admission suddenly and after stabilization of the patient her exploratory laparotomy was done and uterine rupture was detected on the right side of the previous scar. The uterus was repaired as the patient refused for hysterectomy. Her post op recovery was uneventful.
Her first periods after the surgery was normal with average amount of blood loss.

Zirconia in the Service of Anterior Aesthetic Restorations
Authors: Hajjaji Sihem , Dakhli Rihab , Hajjemi Hayet
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Zirconia appears in odontology fifteen years ago under the form of a screed covered with feldspathic ceramic, as an alternative to the ceramic-metal crown. The success of zirconia stems from its biocompatibility and aesthetic potential in combination with optimized mechanical properties. For years, zirconia was the benchmark for the restoration of the posterior sector. Today translucent zirconia are offered to satisfy aesthetic demands even at the previous level
Observation: The 54-year-old HA patient consulted for the replacement of her old ceramic-metal bridge in the anterior sector. Its motif was both aesthetic and functional. The therapeutic choice was directed towards the creation of metal ceramic bridge with a zirconia coping. The clinical steps necessary for this prosthetic design will be detailed step by step.
Discussion: Several ceramics are now available to us for aesthetic anterior restorations. However, the choice of the appropriate ceramic is not only guided by aesthetic needs. Other parameters must be taken into consideration such as the situation of the finish line, the height of the stumps ... Zirconia may not seem like the ideal ceramic for anterior restorations. However, when the case requires, we can opt for an "improved" zirconia giving wide aesthetic satisfaction

Key words: zirconia, aesthetics, translucency, opacity, density.

Utility of VITEK2 in Rapid Speciation and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts in a Resource Constrained Setting
Authors: Verma Sukanya , Nataraj Gita , Wanjare Shashir
Published: November 2021

Introduction- Incidence of invasive Candidiasis is on a rise. C.albicans is the most common species implicated, however recently increase in infection due to Non Albicans Candida species has also been noted. Empirical use of antifungal agents has led to emergence of resistance. The newer Non albicans Candida species are known to be inherently resistant to some of the antifungal agents. Hence it is necessary to speciate and determine the antifungal susceptibility pattern of pathogenic Candida species. The conventional methods of identification and antifungal susceptibility are labour intensive and time consuming Newer automated methods are easy to perform and help reduce the turnaround time.
Aim and Objectives- This study was carried out to access the usefulness of VITEK2 in identification and AFST of yeast in a resource constrained setting with respect to TAT and cost.
Materials and Method- Species identification and antifungal susceptibility profile of 100 yeast isolates recovered was determined using conventional methods and VITEK2. The results obtained by both method were analysed for Concordance, TAT and Cost
Results- 95% essential agreement was observed between VITEK2 and conventional method. For fluconazole the essential agreement was found to be 96% and for amphotericin B, it was 98%. TAT by VITEK2 was significantly lower compared to conventional method. The cost per test was higher for VITEK2.
Conclusion- VITEK2 is a reliable, feasible, time saving alternative for identification and antifungal susceptibility of the yeasts.

Authors: Mohan Nidhin , Gupta Ajay Kumar
Published: November 2021

Pilonidal sinus means nest of hairs also called Jeep-bottom because it was very common in jeep drivers. It is an acquired condition commonly found in hairy males. Different surgical methods have been described for this disease such as excision and primary closure and excision with reconstructive flap, etc. However, the recurrence after surgery is very high. There is similarity between Pilonidal sinus and Shalyaja nadi vrana described in Sushruta Samhita. Acharya Sushruta has described minimally invasive Para surgical procedure viz. Kshara Sutra for Nadi vrana (Pilonidal sinus). This treatment not only minimizing the complications and recurrence but also enables the patient to resume work quickly with less discomfort.

Bank Ownership vs Credit Growth: Empirical Evidence from Vietnamese Commercial Banks
Authors: Nguyen Nam V. , Nguyen Ngoc T. , Ngo Mai T.T.
Published: November 2021

This paper is aimed at analyzing the relationship between bank ownership and credit growth of Vietnamese commercial banks. With the data of 20 commercial banks in period 2009-2018 period, the REM method is applied.
The key findings are: First, credit growth rate of state-owned commercial banks in Vietnam is higher than of private commercial banks, which is opposite to the expected signal. The main reasons are (i) decision making of state-owned commercial banks on lending are backed by the government, which is more straight-forward than private banks; (ii) State Bank of Vietnam considers credit policy as one of the important monetary policy tools, of which state-owned commercial banks are the key drivers; (iii) state-owned commercial banks have stable and cheap funding sources, which create the good base for expanding credit with cheap interest rates. Second, asset size does not have any impact on credit growth. Credit growth rates are determined by the bank’s overall performance and maximum growth rate set by State Bank of Vietnam, not on assets. Third, the other bank-specific factors are statistically significant with credit growth, of which liquidity and ROA have the strongest influences.
Recommendations for better credit growth management of commercial banks include: (i) State Bank of Vietnam and the Government to ensure soundness of the banking system, including applying the Basel II requirements to all banks; and establish more support packages in order to boost the lending activities of privately-owned banks. (ii) Commercial banks to reduce its non-performing loans in order to stimulate the growth in lending.

Keywords: bank liquidity, bank ownership, credit growth, non-performing loans, ROA.
Exploring Pre-Service Teachers’ Previous Knowledge on Fundamental Physical Quantities of Measurement
Authors: Naah Anna Mwinbuabu , Osei-Himah Valentina
Published: November 2021

This study explored pre-service teachers’ previous knowledge on the measurement of some basic quantities and how they are applied in real life situations. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted and data gathered using a close ended questionnaire. A total of 315(females 105; males 210) pre-service teachers participated in the study. All participants were on the Four-Year B.Ed Primary Education Programme offering General Biology, General Chemistry and General Physics as core courses. Analysis of the data showed that the pre-service teachers had wrong knowledge of SI units of measurement for these basic quantities. They were in particular unable to identify the SI unit symbols for Time, Mass and Length - practically exchanging upper case letters with lower case ones. They were however able to identify and correctly match measuring devices with their corresponding basic quantities. They could also correctly link these measuring devices to real life situations. Thus though their knowledge of the SI units for the basic quantities was limited, their previous knowledge about them and their measuring devices was good. The study laid bare the significance of assessing pre-service teachers’ previous knowledge. Such assessment exposes the teacher to learner needs, strengths and weaknesses. It also guides and equips the teacher on ‘what’ and ‘how’ to plan lessons for new learning concepts to be effectively delivered in a new learning environment. It was therefore recommended that learners’ prior knowledge should always be revised before introducing them to new learning concepts and activities.

Keywords: Pre-service teachers’ previous knowledge, Fundamental physical quantities of measurement, SI units of measurement

Published: November 2021

In transverse vibrations the element moves to and fro in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the advance of the wave. To determine the vibration characteristics i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes, modal analysis is a process for a structure or a machine component while is being designed. In real life, aero planes, missiles, rockets, space vehicles, satellites, sub marines etc are modeled as free-free mechanical systems. In this paper an attempt was made to compare natural frequency for two composite materials- ladies finger with Glass fiber composite and Hemp with Glass fiber composite by taking as cantilever beams. The cantilever beam which is fixed at one end is vibrated to obtain the natural frequency, mode shapes at four different modes. A simple low cost demonstration experiment is performed in this paper by using common apparatus in order to compare theoretical, numerical (FEM analysis) profiles of two free-free thin two rectangular composite beams of dimensions 305*49.5* 7 in mm.

Published: November 2021

Human resources are individuals who work as the cogs of a company and can produce ideas that are useful for the company. A company must have a department which in carrying out its duties functions to regulate planning in Human Resources and in carrying out the department concerned will calculate the number of employees who will then be given authority or responsibility for their work. Productivity and work efficiency can be disrupted if there is an employee workload. Employee workload can occur when doing tasks that exceed the ability of employees. At PT Asuransi Central Asia there is an imbalance of work in some divisions and causes delays in completing work. In addition, the distribution of employees in each work unit, there are still those who do not refer to the workload and there are also employees who do not use their productive time as well as possible. The purpose of this study is to analyze the working time of employees by using the Work Sampling method and also to analyze the amount employee needs based on workload measurement with the Full Time Equivalent method. The results of this study indicate that the effective working day for a year is 226 days and the effective working time is 1,360 hours for five working days per week. Through the Work Sampling method, it is known that the total time for productive activities is 78%, unproductive activities are 11% and personal activities are 11% with a 30% allowance. Based on the results of measuring the workload with the Full Time Equivalent method, it can be seen that there are 16 employees with an under load workload, an in load workload of 13 employees and an employee with an overloaded workload of 8 employees. Therefore, the company can take several steps to optimize its employees, namely by transferring tasks from overloaded employees to under loaded employees in the same division, companies can also increase working time with overtime wages without having to add 5 employees to save company costs, companies can also conduct employee transfers, provide training and education to improve employee skills and knowledge, and pay attention to the employee's work system.

Dependence of the state of the large intestine parietal microflora on the activity of Helicobacter pylori associated chronic gastritis
Authors: Isayev H. B. , Ibrahimov M. R. , Salimov T. H.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The aim of the study was to detect the dependence of the composition of the parietal microflora of the colon on the activity of Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis and the degree of Helicobacter pylori contamination of the gastric mucosa. Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 50 patients aged 24 to 72 years, who were diagnosed with HP-associated chronic gastritis in the phase of exacerbation based on the results of FEGDS and histological examination of biopsies of the mucous membrane of the antrum of the stomach in combination with a rapid urease test. A series of dilutions 10¹-10⁹ was prepared from a homogenized biopsy specimen of the mucous membrane of the sigmoid colon in 0.1 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution, and 0.1 ml of a solution of the corresponding dilution was inoculated onto the surface of the nutrient medium. The study of mucosal microflora was carried out by means of bacteriological examination of biopsies of the mucous membrane of the sigmoid and cecum. The degree of H. pylori contamination of the gastric mucosa was assessed in the course of histological examination by a semi-quantitative method: low degree of contamination — up to 20 microbial bodies, average — 20-50 microbial bodies, strong — over 50 microbial bodies in the field of view. Results. The study demonstrated that the indicators of the average concentrations of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and typical strains of E. coli progressively decreased with the transition to a higher degree of HP infection. This tendency was maximum in relation to bifidobacteria — 6.1-1.57-1.09 x 10⁸ CFU/g, with a difference between the maximum (I degree) and minimum (III degree) 5.59 times. A similar relationship, but much less pronounced, was observed for Lactobacterium spp. and E. coli. As the severity of HP infiltration of the gastric mucosa increases, there is a decrease in the concentration of the above microorganisms in the parietal mucin - the correlation coefficient is r = -0.74. Discussion. Since the mucous microflora is more stable and functionally significant than the cavity microflora, the data obtained allow us to consider Helicobacter pylori as an etiological factor of colonic dysbiosis. Conclusion. The probability of excessive growth of conditionally pathogenic fraction of intestinal parietal microflora has a direct dependence on the severity of Helicobacter pylori infestation, being maximum at degree III contamination. Content of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and typical E. coli strains in the intestinal biotope of the large intestine is inversely related to the degree of histological activity of HP-associated gastritis.

Organic pollutants cause many environmental problems to our environment because of their toxicity, non-degradation and ability to long-range transport. The most common organic pollutants are known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and are known as hydrocarbons. Effective techniques for the removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals from soil have drawn great attention. Remediation techniques represent one of the most important of these techniques because of their gentle impact on the environment. The study highlights numerous methods for Physical and chemical remediation techniques with explanation of the ability of some plants and agricultural wastes for remediation.

Oxygen-containing heterocycles are largely distributed in natural and synthetic compounds. Coumarins are among the most famous heterocycles which possess one oxygen atom in their rings. Coumarins are classified as multifunctional scaffold and are used as anti-oxidant reagents, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-HIV active, analgesic, anti-histaminic, insecticides, dyes, herbicides, sensitizers, perfumes, cosmetics and food additives. Due to their diverse applications in industrial and pharmaceutical fields, many chemists have given significant interest to these compounds. Herein, the review highlights various methods for the synthesis and interactions of coumarin moiety as one of the most efficient categories of heterocycles.

The decision to purchase the best available electric power wheelchair (EPWC) for a person with a disability in a low-resource context is very stressful, whether it is based on financial circumstances or the availability of medical solutions. The study's objective is to assess the EPWC options available on the market, focused on a set of conflicting criteria. In this research, three multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches are used to make decisions. ENTROPY method for weightage calculation of various parameters, COPRAS and EDAS methods for evaluating and ranking alternatives are applied. Both COPRAS and EDAS are applied separately for ranking of selected wheelchair models, and to check the robustness of the applied method, sensitivity analysis on cost criterion is carried out. The result shows that for both methods, EPWC-1 is the top priority model to buy, whereas EPWC-7 is the worst model for COPRAS, and EPWC-10 is the worst model for EDAS among the ten alternatives.

The enhancement of natural predators through habitat manipulation and increasing vegetational diversity can improve herbivore control. Aphids drew attention as they are serious phytosaccivorous pests and a threat against crop plants. Members of Family Chrysopidae (Neuroptera: Insecta) are proven biological control agents against aphids. Natural predators can bring down pesticide use against pest in a proper IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategy. For this, identification of the existing pest, their natural predators and the pest host plant are necessary. This study deals with the field survey for aphids, aphid host plant and Chrysopidae species associated with aphids. This investigation may provide some essential basic information of occurrence aphids, their crop plant association and aphidophagous Chrysopidae. This may help to formulate an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy against aphid pest of crop plants in near future.

Murshidabad district is one of the most highly Arsenic (As) prone areas of West Bengal, India. The predominantly rural population of this district greatly depends on traditionally used medicinal plants for treatment of various ailments and subjected to risk of arsenic contamination. The present study revealed that some naturally grown medicinal plants in this district were found to have the alarming level of concentration of arsenic and other metals (Fe, Cu) contamination. So, there should be raised more consciousness on the toxic metal contamination of medicinal plants specifically, collected from contaminated sites.

Wetlands are unique, productive ecosystems where terrestrial and aquatic habitats meet. Wetlands play a critical role in maintaining many natural cycles and supporting a wide range of biodiversity. Wetlands can also contribute to the wellbeing of the community by acting as urban green spaces which provide aesthetic appeal, landscape diversity and recreational opportunities. Globally wetlands are under threat due to altered hydrology, destruction of vegetation, fragmentation, dumping of waste, being drained and other anthropogenic reasons. Wetlands provide numerous ecological goods and services but are under tremendous stress due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and agricultural intensification. An inventory of wetlands of any region is a pre-requisite for their conservation and management. One of the aims of monitoring is to provide information for ecological assessment, which can provide early warning of changes that could negatively affect species or ecosystems.
Anemia normocitica e dosaggio degli ormoni tiroidei

The paper describes the case of an 11-year-old girl presenting with normocytic hyporegenerative anaemia associated with increase of transaminases, CK and LDH. On physical exam skin pallor, mask-like facies and dry skin were observed; weight and height were below the third percentile for age and sex. Abdomen ultrasound (US) was significant for faecal impaction, but excluded an abdominal neoplasia. Lab tests showed persistency of normocytic anaemia while B12 and folate dosage, haemoglobin electrophoresis and DEB test were normal. However, a screening of thyroid function showed an abnormally high TSH and undetectable fT4 and fT3. Dosing of specific antibodies and thyroid US led to diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis. Normocytic anaemia among paediatric patients cannot only be related to medullary aplasia, but also to chronic diseases and endocrinological disorders that should be adequately investigated. If the diagnosis still remains elusive, the execution of a bone marrow is mandatory.
