Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: A clinical data warehouse (CDW) is a powerfulresource that supports clinical decision-making and secondary data use byintegrating and presenting heterogeneous data sources. Despite considerableeffort within healthcare organizations (HCOs) to develop CDWs, scientific literaturesurrounding clinical data warehousing methods is limited.OBJECTIVES: The scoping review aims to characterize thecurrent state of CDW methods within HCOs, to identify extant evidence forpractice recommendations, and ultimately to advance the design, implementation,and use of CDWs. METHODS: The review encompasses CDW articles publishedfrom 2011 through 2021 identified through a systematic PubMed search. Articleabstracts were systematically screened by two authors. Full-text articles werereviewed and abstracted independently by two authors with discrepanciesresolved through consensus.   RESULTS: 137 articles, from 55 journals and 3conference proceedings, were categorized and analyzed.  Areas for increased CDW focus include dataintegration of increased data types and sources; extract-transform-load (ETL)optimization; data quality improvement processes; semantic data representation;support tools/documentation and data literacy efforts for staff and end-users;data governance; business model/financial support for CDWs including staffing. CONCLUSION:  Thestudy indicates the topics that have been significantly developed and theaspects needing additional focus and reporting in CDW between existing generaldata management best practices and recently articulated requirements forresearch data. Also, more multi-site and multi-aspect studies are needed tofoster maturity at CDWs.
Televizyon Programlarındaki Uzman Söylemlerinin Sağlıklı Yaşam İdeolojisi Üzerinden İncelenmesi: Çağla İle Yeni Bir Gün Programı
Authors: Karasaç Gezen Arzu
Published: July 2024

Günümüzde sağlığın bireyin davranışları düzleminde ele alınır hale gelmesi, kavramın sınırlarının gündelik yaşamın neredeyse tüm pratiklerini kapsayacak bir biçimde genişlemesine yol açmıştır. Sağlıklı yaşam, sağlıklı olmanın ön koşulu olarak sunulmaktadır. Sağlıklı olma kendini iyi hissetme, hastalık ve sakatlığın olmaması kavrayışının ötesine geçerek bireyin sorumluluğunda olan ve onun seçimleriyle şekillenen, ulaşılması gereken bir durum olarak yeni bir anlam kazanmıştır. Bir yandan sağlık kavramının sınırları genişlerken ve buna bağlı olarak mevcut uzmanlıklara yeni uzmanlık alanları eklenirken, diğer yandan da bireyin kendi sağlığının sorumluluğunu alması beklenmektedir. Sağlığın bu şekilde ele alınışı onun toplumsal, kültürel, politik ve ekonomik boyutlarının sorgulanmasının önüne geçmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ideolojik bir işleve sahip olduğu düşünülen sağlıklı yaşam söyleminin, televizyon sağlık programlarındaki uzman söylemleri ile nasıl normalleştirildiğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Amaçlı örneklem yöntemi kullanılan çalışmada Fox TV’de yayımlanan “Çağla ile Yeni Bir Gün” programı konuyla ilgili zengin bir kapsam sunması nedeniyle seçilmiştir. Analiz sürecinde, belirlenen tarih aralığında programa katılan uzmanların konuyla ilgili söylemleri niteliksel içerik analizi tekniği ile çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, programa katılan konukların farklı uzmanlıklara sahip olmalarına rağmen, gündelik yaşamın pek çok alanını kapsayan ve benzer içerikte olan önerilerde bulundukları görülmüştür. “Yapılması/yapılmaması gerekenler listesi” olarak ifade edilebilecek bu öneriler bireyin yerine getirmesi gereken sorumluluklar olarak sunulmaktadır. Araştırmanın dikkat çeken bir başka bulgusu ise pek çok uzmanın kendi alanları dışındaki konularda da önerilerde bulunması olmuştur. Bu öneriler sağlığın ön koşulu olarak sunularak, kamusal söyleme sokulmaktadır. Sağlığın ele alınışındaki bu değişim ve birey odaklı sağlıklı yaşam söylemi, uzman söylemleri ile normalleştirilmektedir.

Мақалада Әбу Насыр әл-Фарабидің ең көлемді еңбегінің бірі «Китаб әл-Мусиқа әл-кәбир –كتاب الموسيقى الكبير» (Музыканың үлкен кітабы) трактаты екендігі алға тартыла отырып, «Әбу Насыр әл-Фараби шығыс музыкасының негізін қалаушы, білікті музыкант ретінде не себепті әлемге танымал емес?» оны неліктен «әл-Муаллим әс-сәни– المعلم الثاني» (Екінші мұғалім)деп атап кетті деген сұрақ қойылады. Сондай-ақ осы «әл-Муаллим әс-сәни– المعلم الثاني» (Екінші мұғалім) атауы қазақ тілінде «Екінші ұстаз» деп аталатындығы мысалдармен дәлелденеді. Сондықтан ең алдымен араб және қазақ тіліндегі «мұғалім», «ұстаз» сөздерінің этимологиясына талдау жасала отырып, оны неліктен араб тілінде «әл-Муаллим әс-сәни– Екінші мұғалім» деп аталу себебі түсіндіріледі. Мақалада Әбу Насыр әл-Фарабидің «әл-Муаллим әс-сәни– المعلم الثاني» (Екінші мұғалім)аталуына қатысты айтылған екі түрлі көзқарас талдауға түседі.

Intestinal microbiome in patients with chronic pancreatitis
Authors: Solil David , Dítě Petr , Přecechtělová Marie , Uvírová Magdalena , Dolina Jiří , Martínek Arnošt
Published: July 2024

Summary: We refer to the microfl ora inhabiting the intestine as a whole as the intestinal microbio ta, and their genomes collectively as the microbio me. Dysbio sis is a violation of the balance between the intestinal microbio ta, the immune system and the epithelial intestinal barrier. Dysbio sis is associated not only with a number of gastrointestinal diseases, including infl ammatory and cancerous diseases of the pancreas. We do not know the answer as to whether dysbio sis is a causal factor in the development of chronic pancreatitis, but it is a fact that, for example, the severity of the disease or changes in exocrine or endocrine pancreatic function are related to the intestinal microbio ta. Pancreatic enzymes, especially pancreatic elastase, are signifi cantly involved in the modulation of intestinal microfl ora. Specifi c changes in the composition of the intestinal microbio me in people with an autoimmune form of chronic pancreatitis could also become early dia gnostic markers of the disease. It is evident that systematic research is more than desirable in this area of pancreatology. Key words: intestinal microbio me – chronic pancreatitis – autoimmune pancreatitis – diabetes mellitus – exocrine pancreatic insuffi ciency – corticoids

Authors: Rivera Astorga Hugo , León López Paulina Lucia , Vázquez Tabares María del Pilar , Martínez Valeriano David Alejandro , Gurrola Ortega Ángel , Jaspersen Gastélum Jorge , Rico Frontana Eloy , Rivera Colín César Alessandro
Published: July 2024

Clinical case: The case of a 21-year-old male with a diagnosis of hypospadias of the distal penile urethra and a history of 7 failed surgical interventions to correct hypospadias during his childhood and adolescence is reported. A urethral plasty was performed with oral mucosa graft and a Dartos flap to resolve the hypospadias.
Relevance: Hypospadias is the second most common congenital urologic condition in males and presents as incomplete closure of the urethra, ventral displacement of the meatus, and abnormalities of the prepuce, as well as other penile structures. The etiology points towards genetic causes, deficient hormonal stimulation and the placenta-fetus relationship, but the exact cause is still unknown. The treatment is surgical and consists of the tubulation of grafts for the reconstruction of the urethra, its objective is to correct the functionality and preserve the aesthetics, surgery is recommended from 6 to 18 months. Hypospadias is rare in adults, and management is also surgical; there is no treatment of choice due to the complexity of the cases and the factors specific to each patient. The risk of complications will increase with the age of the patient and the number of previous interventions.
Conclusion: Hypospadias is rare during the adult stage because most of it is treated during childhood. It is considered that the use of oral mucosa grafts plus data flap is a good option for the treatment of these patients since most present unfavorable factors such as fibrosis, ischemia and a higher risk of infection.

Authors: Sierra-Peláez Óscar Alberto , Vélez-Román Juan Carlos , Infante-Burgos Ronald Javier , Umaña-Peña Maryan José
Published: July 2024

Case report: A 30-year-old male patient, with a history of endoscopic ureterolithotomy plus placement of a double J catheter for 5 years. The clinical examination showed edema, redness, and heat that extended to the base and shaft of his penis. Laboratory tests, soft tissue ultrasound and Urotac were performed, showing a 30-cc collection at the base of the penis with debris inside, and gas area in the soft tissues in front of the pubic area and at the base of the penis. Surgery was performed with the intention of draining the abscess and taking a sample for culture, testing positive for Escherichia coli. The diagnosis was Fournier's gangrene. In-hospital management was performed, including broad spectrum coverage with Piperacillin / Tazobactam.
Relevance: Fournier's gangrene is a progressive necrotizing, soft tissues infection, affecting the external genitals and/or perineum. It generally occurs in older men and is considered a urological emergency due to its rapid progression and high lethality; even under the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics and extensive surgical debridement, it could be fatal. Among its predisposing factors are diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, obesity, alcoholism, hallucinogens, steroids, smoking, cancers, and HIV.
Clinical implications: Main implications of this case are related to a better control, and surveillance to patients with double J catheter. It is recommended the removal of these devices within the appropriate period of time, in order to decrease the risk of complications such as Fournier’s gangrene due to its inadequate utilization.
Conclusion: Fournier's gangrene could be associated with the use of double J catheter, which is a medical device frequently used in the urology area. Therefore, this device should be removed from all patients at the indicated times, reducing the probability of suffering from this infection.

The article discusses the method of radical copolymerization as an effective way to obtain new polymer compounds with practically valuable properties. This method is based on the free radical mechanism, in which the sequential addition of molecules of an unsaturated monomeric compound to a growing macroradical occurs. Due to the relative simplicity of this method, it makes it possible to produce a large number of polymers for various purposes on an industrial scale. Unsaturated polyesters of various compositions and molecular weights, which can significantly affect the properties of the final products, are considered promising coreagents capable of entering into radical copolymerization reactions with vinyl monomers. The article discusses the results of studies of polymer gels obtained on the basis of unsaturated carboxylic acids. The author refers to previous studies, showing that such gels have high sorption capacity, while the starting material does not have similar properties. The following describes the structure analysis of p-PGFPh copolymers with these acids, where important characteristics such as the presence of ionized units in vinyl monomers are discussed. The significance of these studies for the creation of materials with the necessary properties of sorption and interaction with other substances. Study of the influence of environmental pH on the behavior of copolymers based on polypropylene glycol fumarate phthalate with acrylic and methacrylic acids. The equilibrium degree of swelling of the studied copolymers in aqueous solutions at different temperatures was also determined by the gravimetric method. In general, analysis of the swelling curve when varying the acidity/alkalinity of the external solution indicates that the gels we synthesized are polyelectrolytes; analysis of the curve when exposed to temperature, the resulting copolymers are thermosensitive. Thus, the main idea of the article is the importance of using unsaturated carboxylic acids to create polymer gels with high sorption capacity and emphasizes the importance of analyzing the structure of such materials to understand their properties and application possibilities.

Based on the analysis of the history of formation and development of forensic examinations, the author concludes that changes in the procedure for appointing and conducting examinations in criminal proceedings at certain periods of time had a significant impact on the organizational and tactical foundations of this procedure and determined its place in the system of evidence collection. The methodological basis of the study is the general dialectical method of scientific cognition of reality, on the basis of which the examination is considered as a multi-stage, complex and contradictory process of studying certain objects to establish the circumstances to be proved. It is noted that the assessment of an expert opinion is aimed at identifying and eliminating possible errors of an expert (procedural, epistemological, operational) and is a determination of the possibility of using the results of an expert study as evidence and includes the following procedures: formal (logical and procedural) assessment; substantive assessment; questioning of an expert aimed at establishing the circumstances of the expert study, and explanation of the conclusion. In conclusion, the verification of the expert's opinion is carried out after its evaluation and only if there are doubts about its reliability, aimed at obtaining new information regarding the data that was established in the course of the expert study.

Cerebral cavernous malformations are usually asymptomatic, however, in some cases they can cause headache, seizures, focal neurological signs, and spontaneous intraparenchymal or subarachnoid hemorrhages. Cavernous malformations are anomalous capillary cavities, abnormally dilated and surrounded by a thin layer of abnormal endothelium, located within the nervous tissue but independent of it. It is an unusual clinical-radiological finding, even more so, in children and with other comorbidities such as promyelocytic leukemia, whose association, to date, has not been described in the literature. Clinical case: we describe the case of a teenage patient, with a diagnosis of promyelocytic leukemia and cerebral bleeding associated with cavernomatosis. Diagnostic and management guidelines are proposed regarding the case. Conclussion: Today, with the availability of new and better diagnostic methods, it is possible to make more precise clinical approaches that will impact the survival of patients with diseases that require complex management.
piRNAs and PIWI-like proteins in cancer and their future as biomarkers and therapy targets in breast cancer

Published: July 2024

Globally, breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer, with 2.296.840 new cases in 2020 with almost 700.000 related deaths. Due to the high burden this represents, it is imperative to expand horizons to be able to find novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that can be used to improve prognosis, treatment, and survival of breast cancer patients. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted looking for the association between piRNAs (PIWI – interacting RNAs) and the development, pathogenesis, metastasis, and progression of different types of cancer, including BC. PiRNAs are small molecules (24-31 nucleotides) that interact with the PIWI-protein complex (PIWI-like proteins - HIWI/HILI in humans) performing regulatory functions by inducing transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational epigenetic changes, which has been observed to contribute to cancer development through modifications in cell proliferation, transposon silencing, genome rearrangement, epigenetic regulation, protein regulation, and stem cell maintenance. In breast cancer, a strong association has been found between the expression of some piRNAs, PIWI-like proteins and tumor development. If a specific piRNA could be associated with a distinct type of cancer, it could then be used as an early biomarker which would allow for a better prognosis. Findings surrounding these molecular mechanisms could also spark interest in studies focusing on the modification of the expression of piRNAs in cancer cells. In this article, we intend to review in a straightforward manner the current information about piRNAs/PIWI-like proteins focusing on their expression in BC.

This research aims to determine whether there is a comparison between the financial performance of conventional commercial banks and sharia commercial banks. To see this comparison, this research uses four ratios, where the capital ratio uses the CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio) ratio, the liquidity ratio uses the LDR (Loan to Deposit Ratio) ratio, the profitability ratio uses the ROA (Return On Asset) ratio, and the turnover ratio activities using the TATO (Total Asset Turnover) ratio. The method used in this research is to use the Independent Sample T-test to compare the performance of conventional commercial banks with sharia commercial banks. The type of research used in this research is comparative research. The research results show that there is a comparison between the financial performance of conventional commercial banks and sharia commercial banks when viewed from the CAR, LDR and ROA ratios, while in terms of the TATO ratio there is no comparison between the performance of the two banks. If viewed from the mean (average) value of the CAR, LDR and ROA ratios, the financial performance of conventional commercial banks is better than sharia commercial banks. Meanwhile, if you look at the TATO ratio, you don't see a much different comparison. Overall, it can be seen that conventional commercial banks are superior to sharia commercial banks. This is because conventional commercial banks have been operating much longer than sharia commercial banks which are relatively new. So sharia commercial banks need to increase public trust so that the existence of sharia banks in the eyes of the public can be greatly increased.

Thinking Outside of The Box! It Is High Time - Riddance of Archaic Methodology
Authors: Wahla The Honorable M. Nawaz
Published: July 2024

The overarching objective of this opinion piece is endlessly learning and adjusting to the challenges of the modern academic world. These observations and reflections are based on first-hand experience teaching three courses: civil procedure, the law of evidence, and legal drafting. Throughout the semester, there was extensive interaction with the students - thrice a week for approximately 3 hours each class. This opinion underscores the importance of thinking outside the box and strictly adhering to the rules, regulations, and university policies in its letter and spirit across the board, whether it pertains to student attendance, assignments, projects, or grading. Also, the opinion touches on the demerits of archaic teaching and offers few recommendations for fixing it.The semester has flown away in a blink of an eye. It seems like yesterday flying from New York to Islamabad. My enthusiasm peaked and was entirely driven by the desire to give back to my birth country by teaching law as taught in the United States of America – specifically, to those who would never have a chance to go abroad for studies. The underlying desire had been and will always be - to share my approximately forty (40) years of experience, knowledge, and daily breathing in the life of law in the world's litigious society – the United States of America. In April 2023, Dr. Asif Khan, NUST head of the law department, came to Washington, DC. We both were judging the JESSUP Competition. We discussed the idea of my teaching Civil Procedures, Evidence, and Legal Drafting for the fall semester of 2023. Despite fierce opposition from family and close friends, I agreed to the proposal. I started preparing the coursework/syllabus and everything needed for the semester.

THE IMPACT OF THE RECENT CASE LAW OF CJEU REGARDING ARTICLE 2 TEU ON NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES IN ROMANIA
Authors: Călin Dragoș
Published: July 2024

In recent years, the Constitutional Court of Romania has tried to create an internal wall for not giving effect to the application of the supremacy of European Union law, respectively the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding the rule of law, as regards the Constitution itself, by developing an ultra vires control and an identity control in an original way. Although the pressure to change such an approach is omnipresent, however, the reasons of Decision no. 390/2021 have not been revised until today by the subsequent case law of the Constitutional Court of Romania, but on the contrary, in two press releases, the idea of revising the Constitution for accepting the effects of the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the matter was launched exclusively. However, a series of somehow sovereignist decisions, also including here the interpretation in its own, extensive manner, of an opinion of the Venice Commission, seems rather on the way to be abandoned, an example in this regard being the recent Decision no. 283/2023, by which the Constitutional Court of Romania restated the need to impose a threshold in the case of the offence of abuse of office.
THE ROLE OF THE PERMANENT REVIEW TRIBUNAL IN STRENGTHENING DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE AND THE RULE OF LAW
Authors: Luciana Maffei Brenda
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the function of the Permanente Review Tribunal “TPR” as a possible actor for the consolidation of democratic governance and the democratic state. In this sense, the question that will be the axis of analysis of this work is posed in the following terms: Does the TPR have any function aimed at guaranteeing democratic governance and the democratic state in the States that make up this integration process? As can be seen, this study is based on a systemic vision where the Supreme Court of Mercosur could be in a feedback relationship with the internal legal systems of the States parties that comprise it. The Work is organized as follows: (i) firstly, some guidelines are made on the central notions used in this work (democratic governance, rule of law and democratic state) (ii) secondly, we will make a general exposition on the essential elements that make up the so-called broad democratic dimension and the Ushuaia Protocol (PU) on democratic commitment in MERCOSUR, (iii) Next we will address the question of the role of jurisdiction in the integration processes in general and in MERCOSUR , in particular, focusing attention on the work carried out by the TPR, (iv) finally, an Award issued by the TPR will be brought to consideration that may leave some clues to answer the question posed. The method used in this research is essentially analytical.

Published: July 2024

Present research looked at the role of compensation on job satisfaction, employee performance and organisational performance. The study was underpinned through social-exchange theory. Further, research used quantitative approach through which gathering data employed questionnaires. Descriptive research design was adopted. Research used one of Tanzania’s public organisations as a case study. The study opted to collect data from all the employees (107) of the organization hence sampling was not done. Out of 107 respondents, data were collected from 85 respondents which accounts for a response rate of 82.5%. Collected data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive outcomes involved frequencies, means and standard deviations while those from inferential statistics were correlations and regressions. The study found compensation has significant positive influence on job satisfaction (β=.790, P-value=.000), employee performance (β=.429, P-value=.000), and organisational performance (β=.551, P-value=.000. The study calls for organisations to design and use effective compensation polices, strategies and practices to create supportive environment for employees to attain job satisfaction, employee performance and organisational performance as well.
Rapid regional assessment of rock glacier activity based on DInSAR wrapped phase signal

Abstract. Alpine periglacial landforms like rock glaciers and protalus ramparts are key indicators of the state of permafrost occurrence and its climatic implications. These landforms are characterized by complex deformation mechanisms and temporal trends, that can evolve towards destabilization. A quantitative evaluation of their activity is thus fundamental in climatological and geohazard perspectives. Spaceborne interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) techniques have provided powerful tools to document the surface deformations of periglacial features, yet their rapid and reliable application over large areas is still limited. We propose a novel, semi-automated methodology that combines wrapped phase deformation signals obtained from differential interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (DInSAR), available information on permafrost extent, geomorphological data and multivariate statistics to characterize the activity of 514 periglacial landforms over approximately 1000 km2 in Upper Valtellina (Italian Central Alps). We process Sentinel-1 A/B SAR images with increasing temporal baselines (12 to 120 days) to generate 124 interferograms in ascending and descending geometries. We analyse the statistical distribution of wrapped interferometric phase to assess the state of activity of each periglacial landform through an objective Activity Index. This is combined with regional-scale information on permafrost occurrence to classify periglacial landforms based on their activity on different temporal scales. We define four activity classes, validated with field geomorphological observations, and related to their environmental controls through multivariate statistical analysis. Our results demonstrate the potential of using wrapped SAR interferometric phase to rapidly update periglacial landform inventories and track the evolution of the alpine cryosphere.
