TO ASSESS SAFETY OF WITHHOLDING ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH LOW OR INTERMEDIATE PROBABILITY OF PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Authors: Mangal Archi , Arya Mahendra Kumar , Khatana Devendra Kumar , Singh Dr. Sheetal
Published: October 2021

Background & Method: The study was carried out in the Department of Radio diagnosis, Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, M.P. including 100 chronic bedridden patients with an aim to assess safety of withholding antithrombotic therapy in patients with low or intermediate probability of pulmonary embolism.

Result: Males represented about 62% of the entire sample. Majority of male patients were in age group 50 and above. Majority (29%) of female patients were of age group of 20 to 40 yrs. On the basis of B-mode sonography and colour Doppler 20% patients were diagnosed to have acute deep vein thrombosis and 12 % patients were diagnosed to have chronic deep vein thrombosis. Out of 100 chronic bedridden patients in the study, 40% were suspected to have deep vein thrombosis on the basis of clinical signs,45% had a positive d-dimer test, 28% were positive on impedence plethysmography.  30% patients were diagnosed to have deep vein thrombosis by B mode sonography and 32% were diagnosed to have deep vein thrombosis by colour Doppler.

Conclusion: Only 32 patients were positive for deep vein thrombosis out of 100 patients so it is safe to withhold unnecessary anticoagulation therapy in all chronic bed   ridden patients because even after 3 month follow up only 1% patients were positive. Impedence plethysmography is less sensitive than ultrasonography and D-dimer test is more sensitive but it lacks specificity so ultrasound and colour Doppler is more sensitive in clinically suspected DVT patients. Ultrasonography and colour Doppler is better predictor of DVT because it is more sensitive and specific, non-invasive, painless, widely available, easy to use, less expensive, no ionizing radiation.

Financing of Preschool Education in Ukraine in 1919–1933: Historical and Legal, Historical and Economic Aspects
Authors: Ткаченко С. О. , Головко О. В.
Published: October 2021

Historical and legal, historical and economic aspects of the process of formation and development of the system of public preschool education in Ukrainian SSR in 20s – early 30s of the XX century have been analyzed.

It has been proved that the issue of preschool education with the victory of the Soviet government took its place in the general system of education’s development, which the Bolsheviks began to introduce first in the industrial regions in 1919, and then throughout Ukrainian SSR.

The authors have the legal basis of the process of formation and development of the system of public preschool education in Soviet Ukraine in 1919–1933. The upbringing of children from the early age, according to the Program of the party and the decisions of the Soviet government, had to become the complete prerogative of public educational agencies.

The main reasons for the rapid growth in the number of institutions of state and public education of children of preschool age have been analyzed. That process was caused by the economic devastation in Ukraine as a result of the First World and Civil Wars, which doomed more than one million children to starvation. State authorities were forced to make certain commitments to provide food and education for deprived children.

There is a destruction of the old pre-revolutionary pedagogy, which considered preschool education only as a forced measure for working parents and orphans, by giving preference to family upbringing of children at an early stage of life.

It has been proved that the system of legal regulation of financing of public preschool education in Ukrainian SSR at that time has passed three stages of development:

– 1919–1922 – financing of preschool institutions was carried out in a centralized way by monthly allocations from the republican budget, as well as from the budget of central agencies;

– 1923–1927 – financing of preschool institutions was transferred from the republican to local budgets;

– 1928–1933 – attraction of state and local councils’ budgets, funds from trade unions, other institutions and enterprises, parental payment. There was the final consolidation of budgetary sources of maintenance of preschool education system in the legislation.

There was the thesis that the legal consolidation of financing of preschool education in Ukraine should reflect the priority of public importance and state support of this field of educational activity from the standpoint of investing in the future of the state, forming the foundations of a harmonious personality as a prerequisite for successful secondary and later higher education.

It has been emphasized that the financing of preschool education and its legal consolidation should be aimed at stimulating the work of educational and pedagogical staff, attracting highly qualified specialists to this field. Society and the state must realize that this category of professionals have the prerequisites for successful development, prosperity of future generations.

Authors: Adrião Iracely Santos , Barbosa Marluce Sampaio Nobre
Published: October 2021

Preeclampsia presents itself as one of the hypertensive syndromes that can affect women during pregnancy, during childbirth and/or in the postpartum period up to 10 days, so that it is still a pathology that, when not properly diagnosed and treated, can cause great harm and even lead to the death of the pregnant woman and/or parturient. The main objective of this study is to know the prevention of preeclampsia in primary care by nursing. Therefore, the following question is: what are the nursing actions in Primary Care in the face of the risks of hypertension during pregnancy? The present work is based on a bibliographic research, with a qualitative approach carried out through the integrative review method. To collect the data, an investigation was carried out in the databases: Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scielo and Medline. The descriptors used were: Risks. Gestation. Hypertension. Nursing. The inclusion criteria used for sample selection were: articles available electronically published from 2015 to 2020; language Portuguese. Exclusion criteria were articles lower than 2015 and keywords that are not related to the theme. For the full analysis of the selected articles, an online platform (search in databases) was used, with the purpose of extracting (title and purpose of the articles), organizing (in table form), summarizing the information and facilitating the formation of the database. The results indicated 35 published articles, but only 15 articles, in the last five years, have as main theme the prevention and risks of preeclampsia in primary care. It is concluded that the main conducts used not only by nurses, but by the entire team working in primary care, should be based on the welcoming process focused on actions that may be determinant in the prevention of preeclampsia.

Helminth parasites of the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus (Rodentia, Murinae) were studied for the first time in Algeria. Fifty mice from Mizrana forest were examined in 2017. Our results showed a general prevalence of 82 % and a six species of helminths: four nematodes (Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Syphacia stroma, Syphacia frederici and Rictularia sp.) and two cestodes (Hymenolepis sp. and Hydatigera parva larvae). The most prevalent species was S. stroma (52.0 %), followed by S. frederici (46 %) and H. polygyrus (26 %). Infection rates in the analysed mice were higher in Nematoda (70 %) than in Cestoda (12 %). Host age was the most important factor determining the prevalence of helminth species, with adults being the most infected group. The differences were significant. No differences in prevalence were observed related to host sex or seasonality.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню змісту, структури і засобів вербалізації концепту ФЕМІННІСТЬ в англійській мовній картині світу. Виявлено етимологічні й передконцептуальні характеристики досліджуваного концепту, його поняттєво-ціннісні й образно-ціннісні ознаки, здійснено семантичний аналіз первинних номінацій ФЕМІННОСТІ, описано засоби вторинної номінації як способи актуалізації концепту в англомовному дискурсі кінця XX-XXI століть. Комплексний концептуальний аналіз концепту ФЕМІННІСТЬ в сучасній англійській мові показав, що досліджуваний концепт належить до числа базових концептів у свідомості носіїв англійської мови та має складну структуру. Вербальні засоби, які репрезентують його характерні ознаки, формують поняттєво-ціннісну та образно-ціннісну складові. Перша репрезентована п’ятьма мікроконцептами, в яких яскраво виражені зовнішні, внутрішні, фізичні, біологічні та соціальні характеристики представниць жіночої статі. Антропоморфний концепт ФЕМІННІСТЬ включає в себе знання про жінку як істоту жіночої статі різного віку, особистість із притаманними їй зовнішністю та рисами характеру, субʼєкта, що виконує різноманітні соціальні ролі. Аналіз вторинних засобів номінації дав змогу виявити образно-ціннісну складову концепту ФЕМІННІСТЬ в англійській мові та охарактеризувати актуалізацію лінгвокультурного образу жінки за допомогою метафоричних виразів та фразеологічних одиниць. Встановлено, що досліджуваний концепт є об’ємним утворенням, що вербалізується естетичними, чуттєво-статевими, ментальними, психологічними, етичними, соціальними та професійними концептуальними ознаками.
A Walk through Contemporary South Asian Textile “Daatsans”
Authors: Khan Rohma
Published: October 2021

Dasatangoi is a Persian word for the centuries old, rich tradition of oral storytelling as practiced in the subcontinent. The epics that have passed on from one generation to another tell magical stories of adventure, war, religious anecdotes with immense details such as Arabian Nights, Dastaan-e-Ameer Hamza, and Mahabharata. Inspired by this subcontinental tradition, the presentation focuses on how these rich epics were translated into visual narratives in various indigenous textiles such as in Persian shikar-gahs and the subcontinent’s Chamba rumaals. In addition, it shows how these guided and made skeletal references for contemporary textile artists in Pakistan. Therefore, the presentation documents indigenous and contemporary textiles that tell hidden and personal stories of artists. These are works that mostly remain undiscovered due to the lack of opportunities for these artists. The presentation will briefly talk about each textile narrative and the story it elucidates.
The Nantucket Looms: Historicism and Modernism in an Island Cottage Industry
Authors: Nieling Jennifer
Published: October 2021

Social and political upheavals of the 1960s spurred many reactions in the arts, from optimistic modernism to nostalgic historicism, that resulted in a widespread revival of handcraft. On Nantucket, the 1960s craft revival coincided with a renaissance of the island itself, as it looked towards the past to shape its future. The wharf transformed and historical tourism was promoted, the island a time capsule of its nineteenth-century glory days as a whaling port. In 1961, the Nantucket Historical Trust renovated the Jared Coffin House, a historic whaling merchant’s mansion turned hotel, decorating it with custom reproduction interior textiles. A weaving workshop was established, and the Nantucket Looms was born. While historicism is Nantucket’s trademark, a study of the Nantucket Looms in the 1960s reveals that modernism is equally apparent in Nantucket’s craft history.

The Nantucket Looms expanded into commercial ventures guided by key players with a deep knowledge of historic textiles and an affinity for modernist design and practices. Mary Ann Beinecke managed the Looms’ hand weaving production workshop, while Andy Oates trained weavers in a style clearly influenced by his teacher, famed modernist weaver Anni Albers. Later in the 1960s, New York design duo Leslie and Doris “D. D.” Tillett expanded the reach and scope of the Looms with printed textiles exhibiting their legacy of modernist design and knowledge of traditional techniques. Oates and subsequent owners have continued to honor craft tradition while staying modern.

Through original research, including contemporary press, interviews, and extant textiles, this paper tells the story of the Nantucket Looms, a case study of the 1960s craft revival on an island thirty miles out to sea, and the role of historicism and modernism in the cultural identity of an island that is often stereotyped, but rarely examined theoretically and historically.
The State of Traditional Albanian Kilims, their Motifs and Narratives
Authors: Zoto Alexis
Published: October 2021

Albania is a cultural crossroads. Its history is rooted in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It has been part of the Republic of Venice and part of the Ottoman Empire. It has maintained its own identity and language in spite of many occupiers. Like many of its neighbors, it also has a rich weaving tradition influenced by hundreds of years under Ottoman rule. However, the knowledge of the old ways of this craft is quickly dying out. There are splits in knowledge and documented information between pre-communist Albania and Communist Albania and post-Communist Albania.

In the mid twentieth century when Albania was secretive and closed country, large amounts of kilims and carpets were being made by hand for export in factories. ‘Traditional Albanian’ designs were made, as well as copies and interpretations of Persian design styles. Factory designs for rugs and kilims were centralized in the capital Tirana. Weavers who were actively employed in this now defunct factory were interviewed for this paper as well as research conducted in the National Albanian Archives Textile collection. A fractured story emerges where traditional knowledge and craft is dying. Symbols and their meanings have become confused and conflated. The former dictatorship skewed the very little documentation of the traditional weaving around the country. The national collection is very uneven due in part to this legacy.

Published: October 2021

Las islas del Rosario son reconocidas como uno de los mejores atractivos turísticos del mundo, sin embargo, su desarrollo en el turismo no se ha visto reflejado en una mejor calidad de vida para sus residentes, quienes mantienen altos niveles de pobreza y miseria. El presente artículo muestra una caracterización de la oferta laboral de las Islas del Rosario y estima mediante un modelo probit la probabilidad de que un residente este vinculado a un empleo en el segmento primario, que comprende los empleos con mayor estabilidad y remuneración. Los resultados muestran que el bajo nivel de educación y capacitación de los nativos les dificulta el acceso a un empleo de este tipo, no obstante, esta dificultad aumenta si es mujer, joven y/o raizal. Específicamente, una mujer con el mismo nivel de capital humano que un hombre tiene un 21,2% menos de probabilidades de pertenecer al segmento primario, mientras que un raizal tiene un 14,8% menos de probabilidad que un no raizal.Palabras Clave: capital humano, segmentación del mercado laboral, islas del Rosario, modelo probit, sesgo de selección.

Isomorfismo institucional en el ambiente académico. Caso: ISO IWA-2
Authors: Daza-Villadiego Carmen Cecilia
Published: October 2021

En este trabajo se analizan aspectos de la teoría sobre el concepto de Isomorfismo Institucional, con miras a encontrar vías de reflexión frente a la alternativa de adopción y adaptación de la Norma ISO 9000, en su versión de IWA-2, en el ámbito académico. Se utiliza como marco teórico, por una parte, la teoría institucional y el neo-institucionalismo en los estudios organizacionales para proporcionar un marco conceptual consistente y apropiado para el estudio de la influencia de los factores del entorno en la función organizacional, que de alguna manera, impulsan el isomorfismo; sobre éste se hace un recorrido por la teoría y los tipos de isomorfismo en los que sucumben las organizaciones. A manera de conclusiones, se exponen algunas consideraciones que develan un marco normativo universitario institucionalizado que condiciona la búsqueda de referentes de calidad académica a través del isomorfismo mimético.
Papel de la radiocirugía en el tratamiento de malformaciones arterio-venosas cerebrales : revisión de la literatura y análisis de resultados.
Authors: Ricagni Leandro , Rivero Fuentes Milexys , Aguiar Sergio , Sallabanda Kita
Published: October 2021

Introducción: las malformaciones arteriovenosas (MAVs) son patologías infrecuentes, con una incidencia estimada de 1,1 en 100.000 habitantes. El tratamiento puede ser embolización vascular, microcirugía o radiocirugía estereotáctica. Por su baja incidencia, resulta difícil seleccionar un grupo homogéneo para un seguimiento prospectivo a largo plazo, y en base a resultados estadísticamente significativos definir una conducta. Objetivo: establecer el rol de la radiocirugía estereotáctica en el tratamiento de malformaciones arteriovenosas cerebrales. Métodos: se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos para un análisis descriptivo de ensayos clínicos en pacientes con malformaciones arteriovenosas tratados con radiocirugía estereotáctica, sin radioterapia previa. Resultados: fueron seleccionados 26 artículos. Los resultados provenientes en su mayoría de estudios retrospectivos. La obliteración estimada para malformaciones arteriovenosas pequeñas o moderadas con radiocirugía estereotáctica varía entre un 61% a 90%, con una morbilidad menor a 5%. La respuesta al tratamiento varía según el tamaño del nido, la dosis y la no embolización previa. Para las malformaciones arteriovenosas gigantes la tasa de obliteración descrita es del 35% al 58%, con una morbilidad que alcanza el 15%. Conclusión: la radiocirugía estereotáctica parece ser una opción efectiva y segura cuando no se plantea microcirugía, con tasas satisfactorias de obliteración, sin aumento del riesgo de sangrado en el periodo de latencia. En malformaciones arteriovenosas gigantes la radiocirugía muestra una menor tasa de respuesta completa por lo que el tratamiento intervencionista multimodal es justificable. La radiocirugía estereotáctica ha demostrado ser segura y efectiva, con un papel preponderante en malformaciones arteriovenosas pequeñas, profundas o en áreas elocuentes.

The question arises of the lack of a full analysis of ancient Chinese art for all types of artistic creativity that were developing during cultural development and formation: architecture, painting, calligraphy, music, sculpture, dance, and so on. A number of scholars who have developed methods of approaches to the systematization and study of the synthesis of the arts of ancient Chinese culture throughout its development are presenting. A number of techniques in painting and calligraphy that have a direct impact on the formation of the Chinese architectural environment are analyzing. These methodical conclusions can be useful in planning the activities of various organizational departments of architectural education and science.
Problem statement: it became necessary to analyze and describe the methods and principles of organizing forms of art synthesis in Chinese architecture.
Objective of the article: analyze the impact of forms of art synthesis in Chinese architecture.
There is describing that the most important art form in China is painting. It is thanks to its compositional, color and harmonic laws that the general cultural world of ancient China is building. Color relationships, combinations with nature - all this through painting builds the canonical laws of architecture, music, dance, calligraphy, etc., taking into account national authenticity. It becomes the central core of the synthesis of Chinese art, generating its various forms for individual regions. In architecture, the action of forms of synthesis of Chinese arts is embodying through the organization of plasticity of the building, interior and exterior space, the ratio of small and large forms, and the location of accents. Experienced predecessors should be a role model for modern architects and artists. The combination of long-standing traditions of "synthesis of arts" with modern production technologies, as well as creative ideas of architects and artists of the XXI century can give new vectors of development of Chinese architecture and art science.

Published: October 2021

ALONG the west coast of the southern part of the North Island from Paekakariki in the south to Patea in the north and extending inland for from two to twelve miles is a belt of sand country covering approximately 270,000 acres. Most of it is suitable for farming but an extensive area is more suitable for afforestation. Large areas are only partly developed and production generally is low. Although there has been a marked improvement in farming in the area in the past decade there is still great scope for improvement.

Objective: COVID-19 has rapidly spread and has become a pandemic by affecting the whole world. During this period, many scientific congresses and educational meetings had to be canceled because of preventive measures. In this report, we aimed to share our first live virtual congress experience, described its process of transformation from face to face to virtual congress and report the attendees and speakers’ satisfaction. Material and Methods: Eurasian Uro-oncological Association (EUA) decided to organize the 10th Eurasian Uro-oncology congress in June 2020 at Göbeklitepe, Şanlıurfa in Turkey. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organizing committee decided to organize the first virtual scientific congress in Turkey. The planned duration of the congress was reduced from 4 days to 2 days and each speaker was planned to give the speech online during the presentation via ZOOM program (San Jose, CA). Results: A total of 704 persons registered to the congress. It was the highest number of participants among whole congresses that was organized by EUA. In this congress, there were 199 oral presentations, 25 interactive e-posters and 12 video presentations. During the congress, each participant attended the congress for an average of 387 minutes. It was identified that the majority of the participants were quite satisfied with the program offered. In general, participants were fairly satisfied with the quality of images and sound, chat functionality, questions & answers section and technical support. Conclusion: In this report, we shared the outcomes of our first virtual congress experience in Turkey through the 10th Eurasian Uro-oncology Congress. Today, virtual congresses have become the "new normal" and offer cheaper events with larger participation in the comfort of home. Keywords: Congress, COVID-19, online, virtual, urology
Ultra-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery in a pediatric patient with osteogenesis imperfecta
Authors: Olgun Ahmet , Çetin Serhat , Bulut Ender Cem , Küpeli Bora
Published: October 2021

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare, inherited disease group with genetic and clinical diversity. There is a defect in the type 1 collagen structure. Increasing bone fragility, osteopenia, and skeletal deformities can be seen. Surgical applications in patients with OI may cause complications such as spinous process injury in vertebrates or bone fracture. Therefore, in the management of pediatric urolithiasis, the decision of surgery should be carefully considered, and safe techniques that shorten the procedure time should be preferred. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operation is the first choice for large kidney stones in adult patients. Along with the technological advances, more minimally invasive approaches such as mini-PCNL, ultra-mini-PCNL, and micro-PCNL have been developed, and these methods are safely used in pediatric patients due to their low morbidity. Because of its potential risks, urinary stone surgery in OI patients has rarely been reported in the literature. This study presents a 4-year-4-month-old girl with OI and kidney stone, whom we performed ultra-mini-PCNL. Keywords: endourology, urolithiasis, pediatric urology, ultra mini pcnl
California Wildfire Exposure, Vulnerability, and Mental Health: Who gets to recover and who does not?
Authors: Afzal Muhammad Hassan Bin

The central goal of this study, therefore, is threefold. Firstly, identify the significant qualitative and quantitative studies that examine the impacts of wildfire on mental health. Secondly, the study examines both types of studies to find common grounds regarding the most vulnerable population and their mental health, their ability to seek professional help, and barriers to the road to recovery. Finally, this study provides evidence-based strategies for including more vulnerable members of society in receiving sufficient and timely psychological care to recover from PTSD, trauma, distress, and hopelessness. Migrant farmworkers, particularly younger female Hispanic and indigenous workers, suffer from the wildfire's long-term stress, PTSD, depression, and emotional distress. Furthermore, the continued COVID-19 deepens the gap, social stigma, and barriers to receiving sufficient mental health care to recover and rehabilitate traumatic wildfire exposure.

Chemotherapy is one of the commonly used therapies for the treatment of malignant tumors. Insufficient drug-loading capacity is the major challenge for polymeric micelle–based drug delivery systems of chemotherapy. Here, the redox-responsive star-shaped polymeric prodrug (PSSP) and the dimeric prodrug of paclitaxel (PTX) were prepared. Then the dimeric prodrug of PTX (diPTX, diP) was loaded into the core of the star-shaped polymeric prodrug micelles of PSSP by hydrophobic interaction forming the redox-responsive prodrug micelles of diPTX@PSSP for intracellular drug release in tumor cells. The hydrodynamic diameter of diPTX@PSSP nanoparticles was 114.3 nm ± 2.1 (PDI = 0.219 ± 0.016), and the micelles had long-term colloidal stability and the drug-loading content (DLC) of diPTX and PTX is 16.7 and 46.9%, respectively. The prepared micelles could broke under the reductive microenvironment within tumor cells, as a result, the dimeric prodrug of diP and polymeric prodrug micelles of PSSP were rapidly disassembled, leading to the rapid release of intracellular drugs. In vitro release studies showed that under the condition of reduced glutathione (GSH) (10 mM), the release of PTX was significantly accelerated with approximately 86.6% released within 21 h, and the released PTX in cytoplasm could promote the disintegration of microtubules and induce cell apoptosis. These results indicated that the new type of this reduction-sensitive nanodrug delivery system based on dimeric prodrug@polymeric prodrug micelles would be a promising technology in chemotherapy.
Cardiologic Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Treated With Chest Radiotherapy: When and How?

Introduction: Radiotherapy may cause valvular (VHD), pericardial, coronary artery disease (CAD), left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), arrhythmias. The risk of radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) increases over time. The current guidelines suggest a screening for RIHD every 5 years in the long-term survivors who had been treated by chest RT.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical and instrumental data of 106 patients diagnosed with RIHD. In one group (Group A: 69 patients) RIHD was diagnosed in an asymptomatic phase through a screening with ECG, echocardiogram and stress test. A second group (37 patients) was seen when RIHD was symptomatic. We compared the characteristics of the two groups at the time of RT, of RIHD detection and at last follow-up.

Results: Overall, 64 patients (60%) had CAD (associated to other RIHD in 18); 39 (36.7%) had LVD (isolated in 20); 24 (22.6%) had VHD (isolated in 10 cases). The interval between the last negative test and the diagnosis of moderate or severe RIHD was <5 years in 26 patients, and <4 years in 18. In group A, 63% of the patients with CAD had silent ischemia. The two groups did not differ with regard to type of tumor, cardiovascular risk factors, use of anthracycline-based chemotherapy, age at RT treatment, radiation dose and interval between RT and toxicity detection. The mean time from RT and RIHD was 16 years in group A and 15 in group B. Interventional therapy at RIHD diagnosis was more frequent in group B (54 vs. 30%, p < 0.05). At last follow-up, 27 patients had died (12 of cancer, 9 of cardiac causes, 6 of other causes); mean ejection fraction was 60% in group A and 50% in group B (p < 0.01). Patients with ejection fraction ≤ 50% were 14.5% in group A and 40% in group B (p < 0.01).

Conclusions: Clinically relevant RIHD become evident at a mean interval of 16 years after RT. The most frequent clinical manifestations are CAD and LVD. RIHD diagnosis in asymptomatic patients may preserve their cardiac function with timely interventions. We suggest -after 10 years from radiotherapy- a screening every 2–3 years.
