Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVE. The study investigated methods of improving the results of active surgical treatment of patients with severe burns and at the same time the possibility of determination of optimal terms of autografting and shortening the terms of hospital stay. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Researches were carried out in patients aged from 18 to 60 at the period from 2007 to 2015. Immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect an expression of Ki-67 gene and localization of immune cells in dynamics. RESULTS. The authors have obtained the morphological criteria of readiness of burned wound to autografting with following prediction of results. The graft healing processes depended on angiogenesis activity and quantity of functioning blood vessels in the burn wound and at its border of intact skin. The regenerative potential of tissue structures in the burn area and at its border was determined by the expression of Ki67gene. These data allowed the authors to forecast the outcome of skin grafting. CONCLUSIONS. The optimal ratio of immune cells in burn wound at its border with intact skin is a criterion of readiness for autodermoplasty. Autodermoplasty should have been performed in terms of 9 days since the moment of burn injury in order to have a significant advantage compared with subsequent terms of grafting.

Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVE. The authors created an effective system of prediction of acute erosive-ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum in victims with extensive burns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The patients (85) were divided into two groups. The first group included 45 patients (53 %) with erosive ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum which developed during 14 days after injury. The second group numbered 40 patients (47 %) without complications. The clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods of investigations were applied. RESULTS. According to data analysis of patient’s examination, the scale of assessment of sign rates was developed. The amount of rates corresponded to the index of prediction (IP). The values of IP were calculated at the interval from -15 to +15 units. The high possibility (85 %) of development of acute erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum could be expected in cases when IP was about +15 units. CONCLUSIONS. The developed predictive scale of erosive-ulcerative complications of gastrointestinal tract appeared to be highly reliable and allowed doctors to use preventive measures on time.

OBJECTIVE. The authors evaluated the first European experience of fluorescence thoracoscopy with indocyanine green (ICG) in light spectrum which was approximated to near-infrared (NIR) in thoracoscopic segmentectomy (VATS segmentectomy). MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study covered 21 patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy during 2016. The ICG (0,15 mg/kg of body weight) was injected intravenously after dominant pulmonary artery ligation during operation. The boundary line between areas was marked by electrocautery at the border of fluorescence. RESULTS. The well-defined fluorescence borders were observed in 18 out of 21 patients (85,7 %). The median duration of intensive ICG staining was 95 sec and that was enough to mark intersegmental plane. The intraoperative verification was unsuccessful in 2 patients due to technical reasons. The first attempt of identification for the patient with severe COPD had unconvincing results and an additional ICG injection was used to achieve the precise fluorescence. There wasn’t revealed any complications associated with ICG injection. CONCLUSIONS. The ICG fluorescence is safe and effective method of segmental plane location. The implementation of this method significantly facilitates in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. The NIR fluorescence imaging systems allow clinicians to work with lower doses of ICG.

Published: July 2019

Polymers that depolymerize back to monomers can be repeatedly chemically recycled, thereby reducing their environmental impact. Polyphthalaldehyde is a metastable polymer that is rapidly and quantitatively depolymerized due to its low ceiling temperature. However, the effect of substitution on the physical and chemical properties of polyphthalaldehyde derivatives has not been systematically studied. In this work, we investigate the cationic polymerization of seven distinct o‑phthalaldehyde derivatives and demonstrate that judicious choice of substituents results in materials with a wide range of ceiling temperatures (from < –60 to 106 °C) and decomposition temperatures (109–196 °C). We anticipate that these new polymers and their derivatives will enable researchers to access degradable materials with tunable thermal, physical, and chemical properties.

Penelitian dilakukan selama 7 hari dengan 3 kali pemeriksaan yaitu pada hari pertama, hari ke-3, dan hari ke-7. Analisis data indeks gingiva dilakukan dengan menggunakan Wilcoxon sign rank test dan Kruskal-Wallis test. Hasil penelitian rerata indeks gingiva setelah mengonsumsi tomat ceri (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme) pada hari ke-1 sebesar 0.35, pada hari ke-3 sebesar 0.25, dan pada hari ke-7 sebesar 0.12. Hasil analisis data didapatkan nilai p<0.05 yang artinya terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara rata-rata indeks gingiva pada hari ke-1, hari ke-3, dan hari ke-7.

Simpulan penelitian ini adalah mengonsumsi tomat ceri (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme) dapat menurunkan indeks gingiva.
How Does Export Diversification Impact Economic Growth?
Authors: B Murphy-Braynen Marlo
Published: July 2019

The paper uses a mixed method approach to conduct a literature review of existing econometric studies to determine the key drivers of export diversification and economic growth, and to examine whether export diversification propels or hinders economic growth. The paper differs fundamentally from previous studies, as it focuses on identifying the key variables used, the frequency with which they are used and their degree of significance based on econometric studies that focused on measuring export diversification, economic growth and the linkage between diversification and growth in developed and developing countries, while highlighting a key gap in this literature, namely a lack of empirical studies focused on small island states. The paper finds that eight variables were used across all studies at a frequency of 10% or greater – namely, real GDP per capita, education, population, domestic investment, market distance, openness to trade, export concentration and rule of law. Based on the literature review, the key factors which support export diversification are human capital accumulation inclusive of higher education, domestic investment, population, quality of institutions, quality of infrastructure and market access. Conversely the factors that retard export diversification or increase export concentration are economic distance (remoteness from major markets), openness to trade, and declining terms of trade, foreign direct investment, exchange rate volatility and exchange rate overvaluation. Similarly, with regards to economic growth, the literature review suggests that the key factors which promote economic growth are rule of law, investment ratio, favorable movements in the terms of trade, technology, higher education and increased international openness while the factors that inhibit economic growth are fertility rate, the ratio of government consumption to GDP, and the inflation rate. In terms of the key variables used to link export diversification to economic growth, based on the literature, the six main categories of trade integration variables include export composition, trade orientation, export structure, geographic structure and trade strategy. After having reviewed the extant literature on export diversification and its relationship to economic growth, one of the overlooked areas of research is a lack of studies examining export diversification in small island developing states, and how export diversification may or may not contribute to economic growth in those particular contexts.
Turning a Profit through Professional Membership

Next Horizons is an entrepreneurial for-profit networking business group. The company operates similar to a professional organization with selective membership and membership fees. Next Horizons aims to expand its current business model by increasing its paying membership. The purpose of this case study is to systematically gather and review evidence on members’ perceived benefits of their membership in professional organizations and make recommendations to increase membership. An analysis was carried out using a systematic review to investigate how perceptions of rewards and benefits influenced the decision to join a professional organization.
The review was carried out through the lens of the social exchange theory, whereby the cost of membership in a professional organization is weighed against its benefit. When the benefit outweighs the cost, individuals will choose to engage in the social exchange, which in this case is choosing to join the professional organization. Three types of membership benefits emerged: knowledge-based, intangible, and tangible benefits. The values most desired were an increase in knowledge, opportunities for collaboration, expanding a professional network, and availability of administrative space from which to collaborate. The study also noted the deterrents from joining membership; including time to participate, lack of value to career, and perception of relevance to their objectives. This case study supports the notion that the strongest benefit that members get from their respective professional organizations is the opportunity to network with their peers.
Metaphorical Use of Alchemy’s Retort, Prima Materia, and the Philosopher’s Stone in Psychotherapy
Authors: Fontelieu Sukey
Published: July 2019

This essay shares my experience of the usefulness of alchemical understandings of the retort, the prima materia (first matter), and the philosopher’s stone in the practice of therapy. I discovered that these suppositions offer practical insights into how to be an effective clinician. The retort correlates with the therapist, the process of therapy, and eventually the client as container; the prima materia correlates with the unconscious material that the client brings to therapy; and the philosopher’s stone correlates with the healing function of the psyche. The quality of the therapist’s presence is likened to the qualities the alchemists aspired to live up to in themselves. I also found parallels between psychological transformation and the alchemical understandings of the structure of the retort as exemplified in the axiom “like cures like.” * Author
Encountering the Anima in Africa: H. Rider Haggard’s She
Authors: Fike Matthew A.
Published: July 2019

H. Rider Haggard’s She was one of Jung’s favorite novels and is frequently mentioned in The Collected Works. Although his view that She depicts an encounter with the anima is a critical commonplace, his reasons for considering Ayesha, the titlecharacter, to be a classic anima figure have not been sufficiently explored. This essay uses the anima’s widely ranging nature—specifically, Jung’s statements about the Kore and the stages of eroticism—to explain his interpretation and then to analyze Ayesha’s effect on Ludwig Horace Holly, the main character and narrative voice. His African journey is one of failed individuation: after repressing his anima in England, Holly projects his anima onto Ayesha in Africa, experiencing compensation and enantiodromia (a swing from misogyny to anima possession). In this fashion, She depicts the perils of directly confronting the anima archetype and the collective unconscious.
Interacting Narratives:
Authors: Dobson Darrell
Published: July 2019

In narrative approaches to teachers’ professional knowledge, identity (one’s story to live by) is generally understood to be constructed and reconstructed through conscious intention (Chosen Narratives) and through contextual influences (Life Narratives).  It is possible and necessary to go further, to describe a third fundamental influence. Using the concept of Self Narratives allows teachers and teacher educators to acknowledge and work with the inevitable and powerful unconscious dynamics that influence their teaching practice and the ongoing construction and reconstruction of their professional knowledge. The concept of Self Narratives integrates the theories and practices of depth psychology, particularly Jungian analytical psychology, into narrative approaches to teachers’ professional knowledge. Recognizing the unconscious mind as profoundly influential is a position overlooked by more familiar schools of educational psychology, and a Jungian perspective considers the unconscious mind as ultimately helpful and holistic, a position that varies from other schools of depth psychology.
Symbols of Transformation, Phenomenology, and Magic Mountain
Authors: Brown Gary
Published: July 2019

When C. G. Jung partnered with Sigmund Freud, he already had a broad knowledge of world mythology and an understanding of the unconscious formed largely from Schopenhauer’s Will and Nietzsche’s Dionysian energy of nature, or physis. Unwilling to reduce this unconscious—matrix of dreams, myth, and literature—to Freud’s infantile sexual libido, Jung’s break with Freud was inevitable. His long suppressed ideas emerged in Symbols of Transformation, a mythically enriched study of regression in service of development, which rejects Freud’s limited libido. This paper uses Heidegger’s phenomenology to purge remaining traces of psychic encapsulation from Jung’s significant archetypal insights and demonstrates the modified Jungian articulation in the context of Thomas Mann’s novel, Magic Mountain, a study of hermetic individuation. Not only does this paper use Jung’s insights to clarify the labyrinthine development of the novel, thereby taking sides in a literary debate about its meaning, but it uses Mann’s artistic insights to expose limitations of Jungian theory.
