Published: September 2022

Mengakhiri kemiskinan menjadi tujuan pertama pada Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Kemiskinan di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat menempati urutan kedua dengan persentase penduduk miskin tertinggi se Pulau Kalimantan pada tahun 2021. Dari data BPS dapat diketahui bahwa persentase anak miskin di Indonesia lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan persentase penduduk dewasa miskin selama tahun 2015-2021. Menurut data BPS, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat memiliki persentase anak miskin tertinggi di pulau Kalimantan pada tahun 2016. Pada penelitian ini digunakan regresi multilevel logistik biner untuk menganalisis kemiskinan anak hal ini dikarenakan adanya dugaan pengaruh wilayah (kabupaten) terhadap kemiskinan anak. Selain itu, masih sedikit penelitian mengenai kemiskinan anak yang dianalisis secara hierarki dengan menggunakan variabel kontekstual di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat. Dari penelitian ini diperoleh hasil bahwa variabel individual yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemiskinan anak antara lain jumlah anggota rumah tangga (ART), pendidikan kepala rumah tangga (KRT), pendidikan ibu dan status bekerja ibu sedangkan jenis kelamin anak dan status bekerta KRT tidak berpengaruh terhadap kemiskinan anak. Variabel kabupaten yang berpengaruh terhadap kemiskinan anak adalah  indeks pembangunan manusia (IPM).

Published: September 2022

A COVID-19 trouxe um panorama desafiador e incerto para o mundo — especialmente no Brasil, em que, por conta do descrédito de medidas comprovadamente efetivas e políticas negacionistas, o cenário pandêmico tem sido devastador. Apesar disso, o País conta com muitas potencialidades para o enfrentamento da crise sanitária, notadamente por meio da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Um dos destaques seriam os Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, que poderiam atender às demandas multidimensionais da população, evidenciando-se aquelas causadas ou agravadas pela pandemia. No entanto, os Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, criados em 2008, foram intensamente prejudicados pela Portaria nº 2.979, de novembro de 2019, e da Nota Técnica nº 3/2020, da Secretaria de Atenção Primária à Saúde, que representaram, em síntese, a desestruturação da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Assim, objetivamos demonstrar a importância dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família e os impactos de sua ausência no cenário pós-pandêmico.
Science, Part I: Basic Conceptions of Science and the Scientific Method
Authors: Hjørland Birger
Published: September 2022

This article is the first in a trilogy about the concept “science”. Section 1 considers the historical development of the meaning of the term science and shows its close relation to the terms “knowl­edge” and “philosophy”. Section 2 presents four historic phases in the basic conceptualizations of science (1) science as representing absolute certain of knowl­edge based on deductive proof; (2) science as representing absolute certain of knowl­edge based on “the scientific method”; (3) science as representing fallible knowl­edge based on “the scientific method”; (4) science without a belief in “the scientific method” as constitutive, hence the question about the nature of science becomes dramatic. Section 3 presents four basic understandings of the scientific method: Rationalism, which gives priority to a priori thinking; empiricism, which gives priority to the collection, description, and processing of data in a neutral way; historicism, which gives priority to the interpretation of data in the light of “paradigm” and pragmatism, which emphasizes the analysis of the purposes, consequences, and the interests of knowl­edge. The second article in the trilogy focus on different fields studying science, while the final article presets further developments in the concept of science and the general conclusion. Overall, the trilogy illuminates the most important tensions in different conceptualizations of science and argues for the role of information science and knowl­edge organization in the study of science and suggests how “science” should be understood as an object of research in these fields.
Colour Classification in Natural Languages
Authors: Dedrick Don
Published: September 2022

Names for colours or colour-related properties are ubiquitous among natural languages, and this has made linguistic colour classification a topic of interest: are colour classifications in natural languages language-specific, or is there a more general set of principles by which such classificatory terms are organized? This article focuses on a debate between cultural-linguistic, relativistic approaches, and universalistic approaches in this domain of research. It characterizes the central contemporary debates about colour naming, and the main research strategies currently in use, as well as a novel, hybrid strategy.

Alternativ-Entwurf | Audiovisuelle Dokumentation der Hauptverhandlung (AE-ADH)
Authors:   Arbeitskreis deutscher, österreichischer und schweizerischer Strafrechtslehrer (Arbeitskreis AE)
Published: September 2022

German criminal procedure does not provide for verbatim records of criminal trials. This is quite different from most other European countries where at least audio recordings exist. However, technological progress has fueled a lively political debate in recent years. The „Arbeitskreis Alternativ-Entwurf“ contributes to this debate by presenting a comprehensive draft bill which provides for a complete change of technology. The current written record of the bare formalities will be replaced by the video-recording of the entire trial. The intent is to enhance the truth-finding process of the trial court and to provide the appeals courts with a better, more reliable documentation to correct procedural and grave fact-finding errors.

Gewaltprävention im Umfeld von Fußballspielen
Authors: Böhm Monika
Published: September 2022

The study examines the question of how the cooperation between football stakeholders and the police can be further expanded and how not only violence can be prevented but also police deployment hours and costs can be reduced. In addition to security activities by associations and clubs, preventive police measures play a special role.

The study also examines how the Bremen regulation on police costs for high-risk football matches and the related case law affect the cooperation of security actors. It is shown that the regulation is not only constitutionally questionable. It also raises a variety of consequential questions under police law and is coun-terproductive for cooperation on the ground.

The Transition will be Televised
Authors: Englert Franziska
Published: September 2022

This book explores the imprint that the peace process involving the guerilla organisation FARC-EP left on Colombian TV fiction. To that end, it scrutinises the phenomenon of Colombian reconciliation telenovelas, which are intrinsically linked to the national Transitional Justice process. Based on a thorough analysis of the telenovelas and expert interviews, it examines their reconciliatory potential and assesses the benefits and dangers of incorporating mass mediated formats of popular culture into peace processes. The telenovelas, which could be mistaken for shallow entertainment, turn out to be an integral component of the Colombian Transitional Justice strategy.
Targeted Therapies for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): A Critical Appraisal
Authors: Moysidou Georgia-Savina , T. Boumpas Dimitrios
Published: September 2022

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by a wide range of manifestations from mild to life-threatening. Prognosis has markedly improved in the last decades due to earlier diagnosis, prevention of comorbidities, and the use of more intensive treatment regimens. However, the high rates of morbidity, despite treatment, reflect the presence of numerous unmet medical needs in patients with SLE, calling for new, treat-to-target strategies. To date, only two biological agents, belimumab and recently anifrolumab, have been approved in patients with SLE with several others showing promising results. In this review, we critically review the data, with emphasis on the approved biologics.
Magnesium Intake in the Mediterranean Diet
Authors: Robbin Laird Pierre-Anne , Stallard Noah , Momenian Yasmin , Oshirak Katherine , Lucia Volpe Stella
Published: September 2022

The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is a nutritional pattern native to many cultures within the Mediterranean Basin. The diet is composed of fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, fermented dairy, grains, poultry, and minimal consumption of red meats such as lamb and beef. The diet encourages the consumption of extra virgin olive oil and moderate red wine for those who consume alcohol. The diet does not incorporate processed foods and sugary beverages. The MedDiet is rich in many micronutrients and has a healthful fatty acid profile (primarily mono- and polyunsaturated fats, with low amounts of saturated fats). The diet is rich in foods with high magnesium content, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and some lesser magnesium-rich foods (e.g., fish). The MedDiet is associated with reduced incidence of several diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Magnesium intake has been shown to play a prominent role in the prevention and management of many of these diseases, with some of the disease-preventing capacity of the MedDiet likely caused by its high magnesium content. Those making nutritional recommendations in line with the concepts of MedDiet should particularly encourage the consumption of foods high in magnesium.
Leaf Curl Disease a Significant Constraint in the Production of Tomato: Impact, Challenges, and Management
Authors: Chintapalli Indhravathi , Rayalcheruvu Usha
Published: September 2022

Insect-borne plant viruses cause huge yield loss in the world’s most important crops. Understanding viral transmission mechanisms involves defining plant virus receptors inside their insect vectors. Tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) is the most devastating virus for worldwide tomato production. Understanding the biology of ToLCV and devising management techniques are critical in combating this global threat. Researchers are looking into using advanced technologies to detect plant viruses quickly and handle them properly for long-term agriculture. This review’s main goal is to highlight management solutions for effectively combating ToLCV outbreaks and worldwide spread. Resistance genes for plant viruses in agriculture have been identified using morphological, biochemical, and molecular markers from the ancient to the present era. Such techniques are extremely basic. Traditional virus identification methodologies should be integrated with current and advanced tools for efficient virus improvement in crops. This review’s main goal is to highlight management solutions for effectively combating ToLCV outbreaks and worldwide spread. For this aim, we focus on the impact of ToLCV on the world’s agriculture and the significance of recent advances in our comprehension of its interactions with its host and vector. Another important topic is the role of mutations and recombination in shaping the ToLCV genome’s evolution and regional distribution.
Nepotism and Corruption: A Descriptive and Analytical Study in the Reality of Kuwaiti Society
Authors: Sulaiman Al Mulla Muaath
Published: September 2022

Nepotism is a form of corruption that threatens the main components of states since it’s a phenomenon that poses a real threat to the stability of social, cultural, and economic security in society due to the absence of standards of justice and equality therein. This phenomenon has clearly spread in the majority of Arab countries, including Kuwait, which continues to suffer from fluctuations in its global and regional ranking, up and down, despite its accession to the international and Arab anti-corruption convention, and despite the promulgation of a specific law concerning combating corruption. In this research, the goal is to clarify the concept of nepotism and its relationship with corruption by considering the causes and effects in the reality of Kuwaiti society and then show the position of the penal legislature regarding it and the extent to which its provisions are consistent with the international and regional conventions. For this reason, the descriptive and analytical methods were followed in presenting the content to arrive at conclusions and recommendations that will be hopefully reformative and guarantee limiting the spread of this phenomenon.

A Succinct Molecular Profile of High-Grade Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Malik Kabir Imam , Tahir Idris Abdulaziz
Published: September 2022

Several studies have been carried out to determine the complexity of ovarian cancer as a disease with multiple distinct types that presents with symptoms similar to those in other gynaecological, gastrointestinal and genitourinary diseases. The malignant variants of common epithelial and germ cell tumours constitute the bulk of ovarian tumours and are classified histologically based on the presumed tissue of origin. Molecular diagnosis is now aiding in the early detection and treatment of ovarian cancer even before metastasis sets in. Thus studying the molecular profiles of each type is key to understanding the origin and pathogenesis as well as genetic aberrations and mutations involved in the development of the disease. Ovarian cancers originate either from the ovary or fallopian tube and are found majorly to harbour mutations in PTEN, KRAS, BRAF, BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53, with TP53 mutations being the most frequent. Genetic testing for ovarian cancers involves testing for the aforementioned genes, and in the nearest future, an advanced method that would detect these genes in blood and uterine lavage is expected. There is an urgent need for further studies on the detailed mechanisms underlying the roles of mutant TP53 in ovarian cancer development and its potential role in therapeutic interventions.
Calcific Tendinitis: Limited Role of Surgery
Authors: Christian Parsaoran Butarbutar John
Published: September 2022

Calcific tendinitis is not an uncommon condition, although many patients may experience no symptoms, and calcification was found accidentally through imaging studies. Even so, in some cases, calcific tendinitis may arise with bothersome symptoms that can lead to diminished function of the affected joint. Calcific tendinitis is usually a self-limiting disease, where in its course, it may resolve on its own, may not need further interventions. In symptomatic cases, conservative treatment is the main option. More aggressive treatment such as percutaneous lavage may be needed in acute or unresponsive chronic pain. Surgical intervention may be needed to help resolve the symptoms, but it is rarely indicated.
Impact of Colonialism on Environment: A Socio-Ecological Study of Twilight in Delhi
Authors: Akram Mian Muhammad , Zaidi Najia Asrar
Published: September 2022

Massive devastation of indigenous social ecology was envisaged during the colonial expansion in almost all parts of the world since the 16th century. This colonial craze resulted in the exploitation of the natural resources of the colonial territories, which leads to environmental degradation. The alarming consequences of economic expansion including depletion of the ozone layer, air pollution, loss of forests and biodiversity, extinction of animal and plant species, loss of marine life, water and soil pollution have occurred at an alarming rate. Substantial destruction has greatly affected the global environment in the shape of global warming, urbanization, and massive industrialization among other grave issues. Modern intelligentsia and academia give rise to environmental consciousness through multiple campaigns including the celebration of “Earth Day”, the emergence of environmental activist organizations like “Friends of the Earth”, “Earth First”, “Sea Shepherd” and the formation of “Association for the Study of Literature and Environment ASLE” in America, the vis-à-vis start of Environmental studies and Ecocriticism at universities all over the world. Soon it prospered into further interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields of studies, in addition to the environmental campaigns activated across the world.
Linguistic Devices Used in Newspaper Headlines
Authors: Hadidi Yaser , Taghiyev Ilham , Ahmadova Saadat
Published: September 2022

Nowadays mass media plays a crucial role in people’s lives. Online newspapers constitute a part of media discourse, which makes for extremely important bodies of text for the purposes of research in discourse analysis. In news headlines, careful and sensitive use is made of linguistic devices in order to make the headlines unique and different, influence the readers, create trust for the newspaper, and, most importantly, invite and encourage the reader to proceed to the whole story and the main body of the report/news report. In this spirit, this study is a linguistic analysis of headlines in the political section of established online American newspapers. The data for this study comprises 50 headlines collected from 5 online newspapers revolving around the theme of Donald Trump. It aims to explore the linguistics structure of newspaper headlines in the sample articles from these 5 most widely read newspapers: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post. In this qualitative-quantitative study, use is made of the model by Montgomery (2007) that takes account of a comprehensive picture that pays due respects to linguistic, semantic and discursive properties of headlines alongside each other in a complete package. The findings are mapped out in the form of figures and charts. The results of the frequency analysis showed that newspapers mostly used ‘full sentence’ and ‘ellipsis’ in their headlines. The qualitative analysis revealed that most of the semantic, linguistic and discursive strategies used in headlines are geared to the ‘tactical incompleteness strategy’, a helpful notion and a part of Montgomery’s model.

Polanyi and Grene on Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Mullins Phil ,   The Polanyi Society
Published: September 2022

This historically oriented essay treats Michael Polanyi and Marjorie Grene’s discussions of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in their correspondence in the 1960s. It traces Grene’s growing enthusiasm for Merleau-Ponty and notes both Polanyi’s criticism and praise for Merleau-Ponty’s perspective in relation to his account of tacit knowing. The essay also comments on Polanyi’s criticism of Gilbert Ryle and his effort to align his perspective with Francis Walsh’s and F. S. Rothchild’s neurophysiological ideas about the operation of mind. I discuss the innovative Ford Foundation-funded conference program, spearheaded by Polanyi and Grene, that brought together an interdisciplin­ary group of scholars interested in transforming the prevailing philosophical paradigm. This project is the context in which discussion about Merleau-Ponty, Polanyi, and other figures flourished and Grene produced a complicated but fascinating set of little-known publications.
Who's really afraid of AI?: Anthropocentric bias and postbiological evolution
Authors: Ćirković Milan
Published: September 2022

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has provoked a lot of discussions in both epistemological, bioethical and risk-analytic terms, much of it rather paranoid in nature. Unless one takes an extreme anthropocentric and chronocentric stance, this process can be safely regarded as part and parcel of the sciences of the origin. In this contribution, I would like to suggest that at least four different classes of arguments could be brought forth against the proposition that AI - either human-level or superintelligent - represents in itself a credible existential threat to humanity in either nearby or distant future. Part of the same argumentation is applicable to the general notion of postbiological evolution, which has caused even more unnecessary confusion and uproar in both laymen and philosophical circles. While the due attention should be given to the risks and dangers of the transitional period, there are many reasons why we should openly support and cheer for humanity's transition into the postbiological epoch.
Natural history and variability of organized beings in Kant's philosophy
Authors: Stamenković Bogdana
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to examine Kant's views on evolution of organized beings and to show that Kant's antievolutionary conclusions stem from his study of natural history and variability of organisms. Accordingly, I discuss Kant's study of natural history and consider whether his conclusion about impossibility of knowledge about such history expands on the research of history of organized beings. Moving forward, I examine the notion of variability in Kant's philosophy, and show that his theory of organized beings relies on the preformationist conception of variability that provides limited insight into the history of organisms. I explain that Kant's endorsement of preformationism is conditioned by a lack of knowledge about the mechanism that successfully explains adaptation and transmutation of organisms leading towards the creation of new species. Finally, I sumarize the following reasons for Kant's rejection of the hypothesis of evolution: lack of cognitive ability to discover all changes of natural phenomena in different periods of time and adoption of preformationist conception of variability of organized beings. I finish off with a discussion about mechanical inexplicability of organisms and find a third reason Kant believes that the idea of evolution is only "a daring adventure on the part of reason".
Analysis of the simultaneous influence of the horizontal seismic load components on buildings
Authors: Stevanović Dušan , Salatić Ratko , Bubalo Andrej
Published: September 2022

Earthquake records indicate that earthquake motion is an irregular oscillatory soil movement as a consequence of the heterogeneity of the soil material, as well as due to reflection, refraction, and interference of seismic waves. The trajectories of soil particle movement during an earthquake are proven to be chaotic, so the approximation of seismic effects by a simplified collinear model is very rough from an engineering point of view. The directions of the earthquake during the duration of the earthquake event affects the results of the seismic calculation. In this paper, the simultaneous influence of horizontal seismic load components on buildings has been analyzed. Actual seismic norms deal with this issue and define recommendations that should be applied in the design. This paper discussed how realistic and applicable these recommendations are in standard engineering design. A series of time history analyses of the horizontal stiffness of reinforced concrete regular and irregular structures were performed. Two earthquake events with a markedly changing direction of the ground acceleration vector were taken as the load. Significant differences in the influence values of the adopted representative parameters were determined for the two considered cases of collinear and simultaneous effects. In the conclusion, a critical review of the usual seismic calculation and the provisions of Eurocode 8, related to the effect of the horizontal components of the seismic load, is given. Finally, the paper comments on the introduction of corrective factors in cases where simultaneous action is not considered.
Comparison of fuel consumption and emission of small two-stroke engine of electric generator fuelled by methanol, biogas, and mixed methanol-biogas
Authors: Dana I , Lie David , Adnyana I , Tirta Nindhia , Khanal Samir , Nindhia Tjokorda
Published: September 2022

A two-stroke engine run with flexible fuel of biogas or methanol is not established yet. It is the objective of this work to provide 2 stroke engine for an electric generator that can be run by using flexible fuels namely: methanol, biogas, and mixed methanol-biogas. A small single cylinder 2 stroke engine of an electric generator was set to be able to be fuelled by using 3 different types of fuel namely biogas (50% vol. CH4, 15% vol. CO2, 0 ppm H2S), methanol (CH3OH) with 97% vol. purity and mixed biogas-methanol. The electric generator that is used is for providing 750-watt electricity. The compression pressure was around 10 Bar with cylinder volume around 63 cc. The engine was set with an easy switch system of fuel. Since methanol is used as one type of fuel that is used, then special lubricant should be prepared for this purpose. It is generally known that commercial synthetic lubricant that is usually used and mixed with gasoline for 2-stroke engines is found not well mixed with methanol. The castor oil is selected to be used as a lubricant to be mixed with methanol with a ratio of methanol to castor oil of 50:1. During using only biogas as a fuel, the castor oil was dripped around 3 drops/minute in the biogas-air mixer chamber. The emission, as well as fuel consumption, were investigated both in idle position and loaded at 200 watts. It is found that for only biogas fuel, the fuel consumption is 18.83 L/minute and increases to become 15, 17 L/minute at a load of 200 watts. By using only methanol as a fuel, the fuel consumption is found 0.009 L/minute and increases to become 0.011 during loading at 200 watts. If mixed fuel is applied the biogas consumption becomes 2.06L/minute in idle position and 4.43 L/minute at a load of 200 watts. The lowest CO emission in idle position was found with biogas as fuel at 0.18 % vol., followed by mixed fuel biogas+ methanol at 0.26% vol. and the highest is methanol fuel at 0.25%vol. for a load of 200 watts, the lowest CO emission is found the same at biogas fuel at 0.18% vol., followed by mixed biogas + methanol at 0.011 % volume, and the worst is found for methanol fuel with CO emission of 0.33 % vol.

A more precise application of the abovementioned method would mean a prompter implementation of activities within the clinical process (pregestational counseling, antenatal care of expectant mothers, deliveries, supervision of women during puerperium). Through the activities of the abovementioned clinical process, an effort is made to meet the health needs of expectant and new mothers. The application of the SIPOC method is not sufficiently present in clinical processes, especially the clinical process in obstetrics, and therefore this paper opens a new research area. Aim: The aim of this paper is to indicate the relevance of the SIPOC method as one of the tools within the Lean methodology, which can be used to improve the clinical process in obstetrics. Materials and methods: The following materials and methods were applied in this study: the method of analysis, the inductive - deductive method, the method of synthesis, the method of description, the method of proof. Case analysis was also used in the application of the SIPOC matrix at a gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic. Results: The results of the research showed that there was a positive impact on improving the efficiency of the provision of health services, through the implementation of modern methods. The SIPOC method affected the improvement of the efficiency of the clinical process in obstetrics. The review of the literature and the obtained results revealed that there is no formalized concept with instructions on the implementation of clinical process improvement methods.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic complex disorder that significantly affects the quality of life of the people suffering from it. This syndrome affects the extremities after trauma or nerve injury. Hyperalgesia and allodynia of the extremities often accompany this condition. Diagnosing and treating this disease is very complex. The Budapest criteria are currently the most widely accepted diagnostic criteria. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for a favorable outcome in CRPS. Therapeutic modalities available for the treatment of CRPS include physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, and interventional techniques. Additional high-quality studies are needed to determine the best therapeutic option.

Introduction: Poor engraftment represents one of the possible complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It presents as pancytopenia or bicytopenia, with or without complete donor chimerism. There are three entities of poor engraftment: poor graft function (PGF), graft failure (GF), and graft rejection (GR). Aim: This study aims to show the frequency of poor engraftment, as well as the frequency of all of its entities individually, among the patients of the Clinic of Hematology of the University Clinical Center of Serbia (UCCS), who underwent allo-HSCT between December 20, 2017 and December 25, 2020, for the purpose of achieving improved management and understanding of this serious complication. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 58 patients. Diagnosis of poor engraftment was confirmed by pancytopenia (cut off values: hemoglobin < 70g/L; platelet count < 20 x 109 /L; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 0.5 x 109 /L), for three consecutive days, as of day D+28, with the exclusion of severe graft versus host disease (GvHD) and relapse, with complete donor chimerism in PGF and with incomplete donor chimerism in GF. GR presented as acute rejection of the graft by the recipient with bone marrow aplasia or pancytopenia. Results: Poor engraftment was confirmed in 13 of 58 patients (22.4%). Patients with PGF were the majority, with 12.1% (seven patients), while patients with GF and those with GR had the same incidence of 5.2% (three patients). Overall survival for patients with poor engraftment after allo-HSCT was five months, which is significantly less than the overall survival of the patients who had good engraftment after allo-HSCT (57 months). Conclusion: The three types of poor engraftment must be precisely discriminated and diagnosed in relation to donor chimerism in order to decrease morbidity and mortality in patients, post allo-HSCT.
Revisiting the case for ‘feral’ humans under the light of the human self-domestication hypothesis: Focusing on language
Authors: Niego Amy , Benítez-Burraco Antonio
Published: September 2022

Contemporary descriptions of ‘feral’ children generally preclude any insightful inference about the language deficits exhibited by these children, as well as the ultimate causes of their problems with language. However, they have been regularly used to support the view that language acquisition requires a proper social environment in order to occur. In this paper, we revisit the case for ‘feral’ children with the viewpoint that human evolution entailed a process of self-domestication that parallels what we find in domesticated animals. Because feralization commonly occurs in nature and because it entails a partial reversion of features of domestication, this self-domestication approach to the evolution of language reassesses the case for ‘feral’ children, particularly when compared with present-day conditions involving abnormal patterns of socialization, whether they are genetically-triggered as in autism spectrum disorder, or environmentally-triggered, as in reactive attachment disorder.
A cross-sectional survey study on the use of communication methods in the dentist-geriatric patient relationship

According to the data the World Health Organization (WHO) provides, the population has been aging more rapidly than in the past, and it has been reported that the number of people over the age of 60 exceeds the number of children under the age of 5. This demographic change has forced countries to plan their health systems with the aging population in mind. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to see and evaluate the attitudes of dentists and trainee dentists towards communication with patients they describe as "elderly" during their examination and treatment. This study applied a 25-item questionnaire on dentist-geriatric patient communication to 168 trainee dentists and 73 dentists in our faculty, including 4th and 5th-year students, residents, and faculty members. Sixteen items, the first 7 of which are "basic", include questions that examine the methods recommended by the American Medical Association in physician-patient communication and whether they find these methods effective. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0, and a p-value of 0.05 is used as the cutoff for significance. Dentists routinely use an average of 4.6 of the 16 methods and 2.5 of the seven basic methods. While the most frequently used methods were “speaking slowly” and "using a simple language", the least was "using videos". Health literacy awareness and outcome expectancy were associated with the number of methods used. The number of routine use of the methods is quite low among dentists and trainee dentists. It has been observed that communication methods that would be effective in relationships with geriatric patients with low health literacy skills are not routinely used. It has been concluded that the communication methods that can be used effectively for communication with geriatric patients should be embedded into the dental curriculum.

Objective: In patients with and without a diagnosis of hypertension, we sought to ascertain if body mass index (BMI) and other demographic information affected dipper/non dipper and pulse pressure/pulse pressure index.

Method: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) analysis of 56 patients with hypertension and 91 patients without hypertension was evaluated. We defined dipper as a drop in mean nocturnal blood pressure (BP) of >10% as compared with mean daytime values (non-dipper percentage 0.05). Diastolic dipper was observed in 46.4% of male patients and 39.3% of female patients in the hypertension group, and there was no statistically significant difference between them (p>0.05). In examination cases (group 2), Although the incidence of systolic dipper and diastolic dipper in male subjects (46.5% and 60.5%, respectively) was higher than in female subjects (27.1% and 39.6%, respectively), this difference was close to significance, but not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean age and BMI of systolic dipper and non-dipper cases (p>0.05). Besides, the mean age of the diastolic non dipper cases was statistically significantly higher than the diastolic dipper cases (p:0.048), and the mean BMI of the diastolic non dipper cases was statistically significantly higher than the diastolic dipper cases (p:0.034).

Conclusion: It may be beneficial to include the mean pulse pressure/pulse pressure index in the evaluation of general, awake, and asleep pulse pressure while evaluating the ABPM result.
