O método de cirurgia endoscópica revolucionou a medicina nas últimas décadas. Essas passaram a ser realizadas sem a necessidade de gerar grandes cortes, diminuindo muitos problemas como hemorragias e infecções, assim como proporciona uma recuperação mais rápida e menos traumática. Todavia, a formação desses especialistas vem numa corrente evolução no país, principalmente quando se trata em cirurgias laparoscópicas. Porém, ainda há um grande déficit nessa área, principalmente, pelo fato de os treinamentos serem, em muitas vezes, um conjunto de características que limitam em ambos os lados, tanto do treinador quanto de quem está recebendo o treinamento. Entre essas, destaca-se o alto custo dos equipamentos para os treinamentos em instituições de ensino e/ou cursos especializados, deficiência qualitativa e quantitativa de cursos e programas de residência médica, aspectos técnicos específicos do aprendizado que determinam dificuldades educacionais de complexa resolução, entre outras. Essas características convergem em um problema, no que tange a acessibilidade desses treinamentos. Sabe-se que ferramentas tecnológicas de virtualização em treinamentos, como a realidade virtual, auxilia no desenvolvimento psicomotor, retém maior nível de conhecimento, facilita o número de especialistas numa aula prática e, hoje em dia, os custos dos hardwares e softwares estão, cada vez mais acessíveis. Desta forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa é levantar o estado da arte sobre este assunto. O método utilizado foi a RBS e RBA, onde se conseguiu compreender o que a academia e principais pesquisadores no assunto discutem sobre o assunto. Como resultados, obteve-se o levantamento de 21 principais trabalhos na área e quais as expectativas para futuros trabalhos. ,
A Study of High School Student's Well-Being during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors:   Suankularb Wittayalai School, Bangkok, Thailand, Burana-Osot Sira
Published: December 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educational practices have been disrupted in a variety of ways affecting both students and teachers. Ample evidence among many others is the fact that students are required to switch their platforms of learning, from on-site to online learning. Research conveys that this alteration has significantly affected students in various aspects such as places to study, time management, and their health. This study therefore aims to identify problems that come from online learning encountered by students themselves through the means of survey. Thus, we had collected data from 171 high school students and school leavers, in 4 categories: 1) the level of stress, 2) the level of loneliness, 3) the level of motivation, 4) the average sleep hour during the online learning period, using an online survey. The results show that there are correlations as follows, 1) positive correlation between stress and loneliness, 2) negative correlation between stress and sleep hour, and 3) negative correlation between motivation and loneliness. Screen time affects stress levels which in turn increase the loneliness of students and decrease sleep hours. This study raises concerns to educators, teachers, and parents that their children need to be understood, and appropriate support can help them overcome challenges during this difficult time.
Notes: ‘They’re not making land anymore’: A reading of the social function of property in Adonisi
Authors: Coggin Thomas
Published: December 2021

In the Western Cape High Court decision of Adonisi, Gamble J framed the prevalence of well-located land scarcity in Cape Town with the phrase, ‘they’re not making land anymore’. In this case note, I present the court’s findings and reasoning in ruling against the Western Cape Provincial Government, and I argue we can read the judgment as an expression of the social function of property through two lenses: first, the manner in which the court situated the dispute within the spatial and historical geography of Cape Town; and, secondly, the way in which it prefaced the use value of property through its emphasis on meaning ful participation and on custodianship. Both lenses indicated the duty incumbent on the province as landowner and in service of its obligations under s 25(5) of the Constitution, which are important when resolving similar disputes given the scarred ownership landscape characterising the South African urban and spatial environment.

Authors: Subber Zainab , Hashim Hashim , Al-Shamma Ghassan
Published: December 2021

Background: Vitamin D is considered an important regulator of many metabolic processes in the body. Its deficiency was reported to associate with many pathological conditions, with contradicting reports on its role in dyslipidemia.
Objectives: To evaluate the role of vitamin D (total and/or free) in improving dyslipidemia of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Sixty-four patients with T2DM, and 73 apparently healthy normal subjects were enrolled in the study from March to October 2020. Their fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, HbA1c, and serum lipids (cholesterol, its fractions and triglycerides) were measured in addition to total and free vitamin D.
Results: There was a significant negative correlation between total vitamin D and each of cholesterol and LDL-C in the diabetic group. The correlations between serum vitamin D and all other lipid parameters (HDL-C, VLDL-C and triglycerides) were non-significant in the diabetic group, while in the control groups none of serum lipids showed significant correlations with vitamin D.
Conclusions: The significant negative association of vitamin D with total cholesterol and LDLC in the diabetics reveals the important action of vitamin D in reducing the atherogenic indices, and consequent reduction in the rate of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease or stroke.
Arte-educação na pós-modernidade

Published: December 2021

O desejo de refletir sobre os desdobramentos da obrigatoriedade do ensino de artes nas escolas nestes 50 anos, requer observar os modos pelos quais contextos históricos desaguam no imaginário que se constrói sobre a prática pedagógica. Por efeito, os discursos hoje formulados sobre o papel da arte na educação, bem como as motivações que consubstanciam práticas educativas, demonstram a coexistência de representações trafegadas pela memória e ressignificadas nas vivências do presente. A arte-educação, portanto, reside neste tensionamento entre perpetuação e subversão de significados arrastados pela memória, o que é perceptível nas falas dos entrevistados transcritas no presente artigo. Ademais, interessa-nos observar como o tempo pós-moderno reverbera nos discursos em torno do ensino em artes na educação básica brasileira

The computational methods for assessing the spread of pollutants and determining the size of the boundaries of the 2 nd zone of the WSS for water sources, analysis of the degree of protection of aquifers of drinking water supply sources, which can become an alternative to expensive measures to prohibit economic activities in the territory of the SPZ, have been updated. The data on the water pollution of the sources of the centralized drinking water supply of the population of the Russian Federation, the Moscow River, on the effect of surface runoff polluted with persistent organic substances on the sanitary state of surface waters are presented. Material and methods. Methods of the survey, comparative analysis were applied to assess the legal regulation of sanitary protection of sources of centralized drinking water supply to the population in urbanized areas, hygienic assessment of water pollution, correlation and regression analysis. Results. The data of field studies of surface water bodies and groundwater in the Russian Federation indicate the low efficiency of wastewater treatment to ensure water quality safety in the sources of centralized drinking water supply to the population. On the one hand, the low efficiency of groundwater protection and the ability to protect groundwater due to natural conditions are shown. Judicial practice confirms the need to establish the security of a water supply source from wastewater when justifying health hazards and violations of current regulations. Conclusion. The analysis of the legal regulation of the protection of sources of centralized economic water supply to the population and treatment, wastewater disposal showed that the issues of the legal status of the territory of the SPZ of water sources are not developed. The need to standardize approaches to the organization of SPZ and the methods used to ensure the protection of sources of centralized drinking water supply to the population was not evaluated.

Introduction. The formation of toxic liver damage is carried out with the participation of various mechanisms of pathological processes. Chemicals, drugs and alcohol play a significant role. Timely and correct selection of correction drugs will help reduce the risk of toxic organ damage. The aim of the study is a comparative assessment of the hepatoprotective activity of oxymethyluracil in the early stages of exposure to various toxic agents. Materials and methods. The studies were carried out on male outbred white rats with a single injection of hepatotoxicants (carbon tetrachloride, paracetamol, ethanol) and a correction drug - oxymethyl uracil - followed by the study of biochemical parameters 1 and 3 days after the introduction of the chemical agent. Results. As a result of the studies carried out, it was found that specific metabolic changes are noted already one day after exposure to toxicants in the body of animals. Correction of tetrachloromethane and paracetamol intoxication with oxymethyl uracil leads to the normalization of the functional state of hepatocytes. Conclusion. Oxymethyl uracil exhibits hepatoprotective properties already in the early stages of acute toxic liver damage (1-3 days), being most effective in tetrachloromethane and paracetamol intoxication.

Introduction. Considering the prevalence of acute alcohol poisoning in Russia, it seems urgent to search for new effective means of correcting them. Along with taking measures to remove ethanol from the body, pathogenetic correction is effective. Oxymethyluracil and its derivatives have proven to be effective hepatoprotectors in various experimental models of liver damage. The aim of the research was the evaluation of the effectiveness of oxymethyl uracil on the model of acute alcohol intoxication. Material and methods. On the model of acute toxic liver injury of laboratory animals with ethanol, the efficiency of correction of pathological changes with oxymethyl uracil was studied compared to the drug “Mexidol”. A complex of biochemical, morphological and genetic studies was carried out. Results. The morphological studies showed that the correction with oxymethyluracil was more effective at both time points than the drug “Mexidol”, which was manifested in a lower intensity of damage to the liver parenchyma. In the group that received oxymethyluracil, a restoration of the frequency of expression of the Chek 1 gene was observed both after 24 and 72 hours. Upon acute exposure to ethanol, a slight decrease in the level of RIPK1 gene expression was observed. The level of expression of this gene decreased most significantly during the correction of oxy methyl uracil. A decrease in the frequency of expression of this gene can indicate a slowdown in necrosis processes and suppression of reactive oxygen species production in liver cells and, consequently, a curative effect of oxymethyluracil in this type of intoxication. Conclusion. Based on the complex biochemical, morphological and genetic studies carried out, it can be concluded that under acute exposure to ethanol, the corrective effect of oxymethyl uracil is more pronounced than Mexidol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate).

Introduction. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal with devastating effects on most organ systems. After absorption, cadmium is transported throughout the body, primarily by binding to proteins by metallothioneins. It is believed that the mechanisms of cadmium-induced transformation arise due to the disruption of zinc-dependent cellular processes. This part is due to the structural and physical similarities between zinc and cadmium. More than half of the incoming cadmium is deposited in the liver and kidneys. The rest part is distributed throughout other organs and their systems. Materials and methods. In total, 40 white outbred rats of both sexes weighing 170-230 g were used in the experiment; they were formed into four experimental groups of 10 animals each, depending on the dose of the injected toxicant. Liver tissue samples were used as research materials, in the homogenate of which the quantitative content of Cd and Zn was determined, as well as the mRNA level of the MT1 and ZIP1 genes. Results. It was found that the most pronounced activity of the MT1 gene in liver tissues was achieved when animals were administered cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (2.69 ± 0.37; p = 0.017), while the multiplicity of expression of the ZIP1 gene showed the maximum value of the level of transcripts with the minimum dose of toxin (2.70 ± 0.37; p = 0.007). It was also revealed that the highest concentration of zinc in the liver tissue was observed with the introduction of cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (33.84 ± 0.53; p <0.001), and the concentration of cadmium increased along with an increase in the dose of the toxicant (0, 0049 ± 0.0003; 0.0203 ± 0.0024; 0.664 ± 0.007; 0.76 ± 0.0089). Conclusion. Thus, a comprehensive study of the expression of genes for metallothioneins and zinc transporters can be used as a biomarker of poisoning with cadmium and its compounds.

Introduction. Since the share of sensorineural hearing loss in the structure of occupational morbidity in the Russian Federation increased by 1.5 times in 2018 compared to 2007, it is essential to ensure the reliability of the results of diagnostic studies to establish the fact of hearing impairment as a result of occupational noise. Materials and methods. Retrospectively for the period 2008-2017 the analysis of the prevalence and dynamics of occupational hearing loss in the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB) was carried out. Objectification of the state of the auditory sensory analyzer was carried out in 30 patients with occupational hearing loss using tonal threshold audiometry and registration of short-latency auditory evoked potentials. Results. In the RB, the number of occupational diseases caused by exposure to physical factors has doubled, mainly due to occupational hearing loss with a mild course of the process. The obtained indicators of short-latency auditory evoked potentials determined the difference in the latencies of the recorded potentials, amplitudes and intervals in persons with impaired auditory function of professional origin and in a group of persons from the control group who did not have industrial acoustic contact. Conclusion. The increase in the number of patients with occupational hearing loss requires the development of measures for their timely and objective diagnosis and medical care. The method of recording short-latency auditory evoked potentials is sensitive and quite informative in diagnosing hearing loss from exposure to occupational noise.

Antimicrobial resistance threatens the effective treatment of vast range of bacterial, fungi and viral diseases. Transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) is one of the highly contagious tumour in dogs commonly affecting sexually active stud and bitches. The disease was observed in a male and female Alsatian of about 3 years of age. Both dogs were sexually active and are utilized for breeding purposes. Samples were collected from the TVT growth on both the female and male genitalia. The samples were subjected to cytology and confirmatory diagnosis was made on the gross appearance of cauliformlike lesion and appearance of roundish cells with multiple vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the TVT tumour cells. Treatment was achieved by 3 doses of Vincristin sulphate injection USP1mg/ml Vinlon TM 1 intravenously through a cannula. There was no report of recrudesce of growth post treatment. Conclusion: TVT appear to exhibit genetic preference for sexually active Alsatian breed of dogs within the age bracket of 3 years and above. Despite the confronting challenge of drug resistance in medicine, intravenous administration of vincristine sulphate has remained efficacious in achieving complete regression of TVT the growth in dogs.

Published: December 2021

The goal of this research was to determine the English language writing skills of the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) graduating undergraduates based on two linguistic levels; the IIUM English Proficiency Test (EPT) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), based on two descriptors: IIUM’s EPT descriptor, and CEFR’s ‘General linguistic range’ descriptor (Council of Europe, 2001, p 110). The EPT results show that the majority (48 %) of the English language writing skills of IIUM undergraduates were in Band 6, while Band 5.5, Band 5 and Band 4, respectively, ranked 31.3%, 4.9% and 0.4%. On the other hand, Band 8, Band 7 and Band 6.5 were attained by 0.2%, 2.4% and 12.2% of undergraduates. A significant proportion of IIUM undergraduates (46.3 %) were found to be at Level B2 + when assessed against the CEFR scale for the ‘General linguistic range.’ At the same time, 2.2%, 12.4%, 33.9 and 5.2% of students were at Level C2, C1, B2, B1 +, respectively. The results also showed that a mere 0.2% was at Level B1. This research also showed that despite some inaccuracies and improper uses, IIUM students could write effectively and understand and use reasonably complicated language, particularly in familiar situations. Based on the CEFR scale for ‘General linguistic range’, the results of this study show that IIUM graduating undergraduates could clearly articulate themselves in their writing.

Architectural Significance of Granite and Other Durable Rocks in the Context of India – An Analytical Study
Authors: Bharasa Piyasi , Gayen Anadi
Published: December 2021

Architectures created through the cutting of naturally occurred massive rocks include different structures, buildings, tombs, monuments, caves and sculptures. On account of hard and tough property, the granite is considered as strong construction stone in human history. Granite is very common in the continental crust of our mother earth. It is characterised as coarse grained plutonic intrusive igneous rock and is composed of quartz, alkali feldspar and plagioclase. Typical mineralogical character and textural varieties of granite facilitates to develop a wide range of colours, which include white, pink and grey etc. Granite rocks established itself as praiseworthy architecture stone since historical past because of its distinctive character like durability, appreciable finishing, fascinating polish nature and above all its magnificent colour diversities. As architectural stone, the granitic rocks demand attraction owing to the combination of style and elegance. The application of granitic rocks is witnessed in the ancient world through the mesmerising major architectures in India and around the world like Mount Rushmore, Washington Monument, Great Pyramid of Giza; Ajanta and Ellora caves, monolithic structure in the Zagwe-built Lalibela in Ethiopia along with in most of the long-lived old Indian temples, old forts and monuments etc. The monolithic free-standing architecture is generally rock-cut structures as depicted in the Ellora Kailasanathar Temple. The biggest monolithic statue in world, the Gommateshwara statue of Bahubali at Shravanabelagola present in the Indian state at Karnataka was carved in the 983 CE from a single block of granite rock. The radioactivity stuff in the granite is an important concern to the people in recent world. Even though the impact of radioactivity is proved mostly very less harmful to mankind, current research indicates that few granite products are showing radioactive substance index beyond permissible limit of the specified standard, which is responsible for environmental pollution during the use for long. Therefore, due attention is required towards the pertinent issue of radioactivity in the granite stones. Apart from granite, many of the architectures in India are created by the other rock types that include rocks like sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Published: December 2021

Introduction

Nowadays, various endoscopic resections including polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are well known first-line approaches for early neoplastic rectal tumors.

Material and methods

In this case series study, we analyzed 320 ESD procedures performed in a high-volume colorectal center in Poland, Europe. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate ESD procedure in cases of rectal carcinoma performed by a single trained operator in a referral center provided with endoscopy.

Results

Overall, en bloc resection was observed in 92.5% of patients (296/320). The en bloc resection rate was at a similar level in those lesions with involved anal sphincters versus tumors without involvement (93.85% vs. 92.16%; p=0.644). R0 resection was noted in 89.4% of patients (286/320). The overall curative ESD rate was 85.94% (n=275). The curative ESD rate in the invasive cancer group reached 52.6% (n=20). We observed ESD-related adverse events, such as bleeding and perforation, in 3.4 % of patients (n=11).

Conclusions

We have demonstrated that ESD in rectal tumors is an efficient and safe procedure with a high curative rate, even in difficult lesions. Anal sphincter localization and recurrent character of the lesion have no impact on the final outcomes. The ESD approach should have been considered for all rectal tumors, especially those lesions suspected of superficial mucosal invasion, as it can serve as a staging method and may have been curative for adenomas and cancers limited to mucosa.

Fachwerkhäuser restaurieren - sanieren - modernisieren.
Authors: Lenze Wolfgang
Published: December 2021

Viele Fachwerkbauten, die Jahrhunderte hindurch Wind und Wetter standgehalten haben, wurden oft erst durch Modernisierungs- oder Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen zum Sanierungsfall. Sind historische Fachwerkhäuser und moderner Wohnkomfort überhaupt vereinbar? Wie lassen sich heutige Anforderungen verwirklichen, ohne die historische Bausubstanz zu schädigen?

Wolfgang Lenze erläutert die konstruktiven und bauphysikalischen Besonderheiten eines Fachwerkhauses, nennt die häufigsten Fehler bei der Wartung und Renovierung und gibt konkrete Anleitungen für eine dauerhafte Instandsetzung auf historischer Grundlage. Dabei werden präzise Vorgehensweisen, Konstruktionsmerkmale, Materialien und Rezepturen genannt, die sich an traditionellen Handwerkstechniken orientieren und zugleich Erfahrungen mit neu entwickelten Produkten, z.B. im Dämmstoffbereich, beim Lehmbau, bei Fenster- oder Anstrichsystemen, berücksichtigen. Sämtliche Lösungsvorschläge sind praxiserprobt und gewährleisten eine dauerhafte Bestandsicherung.

Die detaillierte Darstellung geeigneter Materialien und Verfahren für den Fachwerkbau machen dieses Buch zu einem umfassenden Leitfaden für Architekten, Hausbesitzer und Handwerker. Wo Selbsthilfe möglich ist, werden auch dem Laien konkrete und leicht nachvollziehbare Arbeitshilfen gegeben.

Die zehnte Auflage ist um den Beitrag »Verdeckte Schäden erkennen« ergänzt.
Measuring the perceptions of physical environment comfort on office employees' performance : a case study at the Durban University of Technology, South Africa
Authors:   , Mhlanga Jabulani Samuel
Published: December 2021

In a dynamic world of office environment where the office is continually changing, there has been a huge need for addressing physical environment comfort of employees to improve their performance, while retaining a happy and healthy workforce. It is against this backdrop that the study was carried out to measure the perceptions of physical environment comfort on employee performance at Durban University of Technology (DUT). A model of office physical elements was used as a conceptual framework to highlight physical environment comfort elements that affects employee performance. The objectives of the study were to measure perceptions of physical environment comfort on employee performance, as well as identify the relationship between physical environment comfort and employee performance. This research adopted a mixed method approach, using the DUT as a case study, with questionnaires and interviews employed as data collection instruments. The target population comprised 81 administrative staff members, including six interviewees who were Head of Departments (HoDs) based at all six DUT campuses. The findings generally indicated a high agreement level with regard to the role of office furniture’s comfort, favourable temperature, good office design and welcoming colours as important in increasing their performance. There were, however, divisions and high disagreements where office furniture’s flexibility is concerned in addition to the strain it caused. Moreover, the amount of noise across offices was found to be quite distracting. It was concluded that the academic administrative staff generally expressed positive perceptions on the importance of physical environment comfort for office employee performance, echoed by the interviewed HoDs. In conclusion, office employees and HoDs expressed positive perceptions on the importance of physical environment comfort for improved performance. This makes it critical for DUT management to address areas of weakness on physical environment comfort for improved productivity.

BACKGROUND:

SARS-CoV2/COVID-19 emerged in China and caused a global pandemic in 2020. The mortality rate has been reported to be between 0% and 14.6% in all patients. In this study, we determined the clinical and laboratory parameters of COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality in our hospital.

OBJECTIVES:

Investigate the relationship between demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters on COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality.

DESIGN:

Retrospective observational study.

SETTINGS:

Tertiary care hospital.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia from March until the end of December were included in the study.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

The relationship between demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters and the morbidity and mortality rates of patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

SAMPLE SIZE:

124 patients

RESULTS:

The mortality rate was 9.6% (12/124). Coronary artery disease (
P
<.0001) diabetes mellitus (
P
=.04) fever (>38.3°C) at presentation (
P
=.04) hypertension (
P
<.0001), and positive smoking history (
P
<.0001) were significantly associated with mortality. Patients who died were older, had a higher comorbid disease index, pneumonia severity index, fasting blood glucose, baseline serum creatinine, D-dimer, and had lower baseline haemoglobin, SaO
2
, percentage of lymphocyte counts and diastolic blood pressure. Patients admitted to the ICU were older, had a higher comorbidity disease index, pneumonia severity index, C-reactive protein, WBC, D-dimer, creatinine, number of antibiotics used, longer O
2
support duration, lower hemoglobin, lymphocyte (%), and baseline SaO
2
(%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Our results were consistent with much of the reported data. We suggest that the frequency, dosage, and duration of steroid treatment should be limited.

LIMITATIONS:

Low patient number, uncertain reason of mortality, no standard treatment regimen, limited treatment options, like ECMO.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.
