Introducción. La colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica es la herramienta de elección para el manejo de una gran cantidad de enfermedades pancreáticas y biliares. Al ser un procedimiento invasivo, trae consigo riesgos que aumentan la morbimortalidad en los pacientes en quienes se practica. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las complicaciones más prevalentes relacionadas con el procedimiento, de los pacientes de una institución de tercer nivel de Medellín entre los años 2014 y 2017.
Métodos. Se presenta un estudio observacional, retrospectivo y analítico. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes sometidos a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica con diagnóstico de enfermedades biliares y pancreáticas. La información fue analizada usando estadística descriptiva e inferencial, mediante análisis univariado y multivariado, y se calculó la razón de momios (odds ratio, OR) con un intervalo de confianza del 95 %; se tomó como significativo un valor de p inferior a 0,25 en los análisis bivariados.
Resultados. En los 1.546 pacientes sometidos a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica, la edad promedio fue de 57,6 ± 19.3 años y el 59,1 % eran mujeres. Las complicaciones identificadas fueron: pancreatitis en 57 pacientes (3,7 %), sangrado en 28 (1,8 %), perforación en 8 (0,5 %) y mortalidad no discriminada de 42 pacientes (2,7 %). Como factores de riesgo con significancia estadística, se encontraron la papilotomía y el contraste del conducto de Wirsung (OR=3 y OR=3,55, respectivamente).
Discusión. Los resultados obtenidos se encuentran en concordancia con los de la literatura mundial, con tasas de complicaciones y mortalidad similares. Por otra parte, el perfil sociodemográfico de la población de estudio difiere de las cifras internacionales, con predominancia de la enfermedad estudiada en edades mayores y con mayor cantidad de comorbilidades.
Neumatosis quística intestinal y peritoneal, causa de neumoperitoneo. Revisión de la literatura a propósito de un caso
Authors: Arroyave Guerrero Yeni Alexandra , Ruiz Beltrán Germán Hernando , Meza Cabrera María del Mar , Muñoz Ruiz Edwin Oweimar , Muñoz Ordoñez Guillermo Wilson 
Published: March 2020

Introducción. La neumatosis intestinal es una condición rara que se caracteriza por la infiltración submucosa o subserosa de gas en el tubo digestivo. Se encuentra más frecuentemente en el intestino delgado y, pocas veces, en localización extraintestinal. Su prevalencia estimada es de 0,03 %.
Métodos. Se hizo una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos biomédicas Medline Pubmed, Science Direct, Tripdatabase y Uptodate, usando como palabras clave ‘neumoperitoneo’ y ‘neumatosis cistoide intestinal’ Para la presentación del caso clínico, se tomaron datos de la historia clínica y, además, imágenes de radiografía, tomografías y material fotográfico del procedimiento quirúrgico.
Presentación del caso. Se trata de una mujer de 63 años de edad con antecedentes de colagenopatía, que consultó por dolor y distensión abdominal. Aunque no tenía signos de irritación peritoneal, las imágenes diagnósticas revelaron neumoperitoneo y líquido libre en la cavidad peritoneal, por lo que se sospechó una perforación intestinal y se practicó una laparotomía exploratoria, en la cual se encontró neumatosis quística intestinal y peritoneal.
Conclusiones. No todos los casos de neumoperitoneo requieren cirugía. Existen casos espontáneos y sin irritación peritoneal, secundarios a neumatosis quística intestinal. En los casos de neumoperitoneo en pacientes estables con un diagnostico etiológico no muy claro, y en quienes se desee descartar perforación intestinal o isquemia mediante exploración quirúrgica, la laparoscopia diagnóstica es una buena opción y menos agresiva que la laparotomía.

Published: March 2020

The problem of development disparity between districts and cities in Bengkulu Province, as indicated by the relatively high and fluctuating Gini Index figures, meanwhile village funds received by the district government always increase from year to year. Therefore this study aims to find out how much influence village funds have on development disparities between districts in Bengkulu province. This study uses secondary data, obtained from the Central Statistics Bureau, the Ministry of Finance and other related institutions. The population in this study is Bengkulu Province, while the sample is all districts in Bengkulu Province, except Bengkulu City. The panel data regression results, the chosen model is Fixed Effect, where the Village Fund variable has a negative and significant influence on the level of disparity in development between districts in Bengkulu Province. The regression coefficient value is very small but influential in reducing development disparity (Gini Index). This is because the amount of village funds is very small given by the government and also the formulation of the distribution of village funds that are not pro to the poor population and many other factors that affect the development gap.Keywords: The fund village, development disparity
The Appeal of Technical Education in Tough Times: A Comparison of the Toronto and Windsor Experiences, 1890–1930
Authors: Sharman Kathleen Yolande , Glassford Larry A. 
Published: March 2020

This paper examines the establishment of two pioneering technical schools in Ontario - the Toronto Technical School in the 1890s, and Windsor-Walkervile Technical School in the 1920's - in a comparative perspective. Though separated by geography and chronological era, there are significant similarities in their development, from idealistic schemes in the minds of a few visionaries to bricks-and-mortar reality as thriving stand-alone technical high schools. The analysis, while based on primary documents from the historical period, utilizes both the classical interpretation of Robert Stamp and the work of subsequent revisionists. An examination of evolving educational policy and changes in regional economic geography helps to situate this comparative institutional study in a broader interpretive perspective. The conclusion, that each school in its time was innovative, popular and respected, will provide valuable historical context for current debates about the appropriate role, if any, of technical schools in public education.

Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Non-public higher schools have developed dynamically since the transformative changes of 1989 and now play a remarkable role in the Polish educational market. However, the public schools are considered to be more prestigious. A study on the organizational culture of the two types of institutions should provide more insight into the nature of their effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to present differences between public and non-public higher education institutions in Poland with regard to their organizational culture. METHODS: A synthetic review of the literature on organizational culture was conducted and presented. Research in the form of a survey based on Cameron and Quinn’s model was conducted in eight universities in Poland. A sample of opinions of 186 workers was gathered and analyzed. RESULTS: In Poland public universities have a predominantly hierarchical culture while their non-public counterparts function in a less hierarchical market culture. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that it may be necessary to use different management systems in the two types of institutions. A further, more comprehensive research into the subject will be worth conducting.
Body composition isokinetic knee extensor strength and balance as predictors of competition performance in junior weightlifters
Authors: İnce İ. , Ulupinar S. , Özbay S. 
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Although it is known that isokinetic knee extensor strength and balance ability are important, valid and reliable parameters, they have not been used hitherto to predict the performance of junior weightlifters. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship among body composition, isokinetic knee extensor strength, balance, and weightlifting performance and to determine whether these factors predict competition performance in junior men weightlifters. METHODS: Fifty-one male junior weightlifters (age: 15.9 [Formula: see text] 1.2 years, height: 161.9 [Formula: see text] 7.7 cm, body mass: 62.7 [Formula: see text] 11.3 kg) participated in this study. Participants performed isokinetic knee extensor strength tests in concentric mode (at 60 and 180[Formula: see text]/s) and balance tests (static and dynamic). Competition performance was calculated according to the Sinclair equation, which was used as the dependent variable in the statistical analysis. The extent to which the independent variables predicted competition performance was determined by bivariate correlations and multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: Significant correlations were found between the Sinclair score and the independent variables ([Formula: see text] 0.496–0.804, [Formula: see text] 0.05). Three models were fitted by hierarchical linear regression analysis. Body fat percentage was determined as a control variable in step one, isokinetic knee extensor strength at 180[Formula: see text]/s was included in step two, and static balance was included in step three, with all three contributing to the models significantly ([Formula: see text] 0.0001, [Formula: see text] 0.0001, and [Formula: see text] 0.003, respectively). The variance of competition performance was explained by approximately 65% in step one, approximately 78% in step two, and approximately 82% in step three. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that isokinetic knee extensor strength, static balance, and body fat percentage are effective for predicting competition performance in junior weightlifters.

Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a new tendency in training used to complement conventional training. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to analyze the effects of training with WB-EMS on body composition, strength and balance in middle-aged women. METHODS: Twenty-eight women were randomly assigned to two groups: the WB-EMS group (age [Formula: see text] 48.1 [Formula: see text] 4.3 years) or the control group (CG) (age [Formula: see text] 51.1 [Formula: see text] 5.4 years). All participants continued their training of 2 days[Formula: see text]week[Formula: see text] and 60 min[Formula: see text]day[Formula: see text] of endurance-dynamic strength exercises and additionally did 20 minutes more of dynamic strength exercises one day[Formula: see text]week[Formula: see text]: the WB-EMS group did the additional training with WB-EMS and the CG did the same training but without WB-EMS. Body composition, muscle isokinetic strength of the knee flexors/extensors and postural stability were measured before and after 8 weeks of training. RESULTS: After the training program, the WB-EMS group showed lower values for the waist circumference (83.00 [Formula: see text] 7.37 vs. 78.50 [Formula: see text] 7.30 cm; [Formula: see text] 0.01), hip circumference (104.80 [Formula: see text] 8.61 vs. 101.00 [Formula: see text] 6.78 cm; [Formula: see text] 0.05) and total fat mass (37.04 [Formula: see text] 6.08 vs. 36.26 [Formula: see text] 5.78%; [Formula: see text] 0.05). In balance stability the WB-EMS group reduced their Fall Risk Index (1.70 [Formula: see text] 0.51 vs. 1.30 [Formula: see text] 0.38 AU; [Formula: see text] 0.01) and deviation (1.50 [Formula: see text] 0.43 vs. 1.03 [Formula: see text] 0.74 AU; [Formula: see text] 0.01) after training and showed lower values in the Fall Risk Index ([Formula: see text] 0.007) and deviation ([Formula: see text] 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: The WB-EMS training program helps reduce the risk of falling and improves body composition variables and balance results in middle-aged physically active women.
From Polygenic Scores to Precision Medicine in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systematic Review
Authors: Harrison Judith R. , Mistry Sumit , Muskett Natalie , Escott-Price Valentina 
Published: March 2020

Background: Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly heritable. The effect of many common genetic variants, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), confer risk. Variants are clustered in areas of biology, notably immunity and inflammation, cholesterol metabolism, endocytosis, and ubiquitination. Polygenic scores (PRS), which weight the sum of an individual’s risk alleles, have been used to draw inferences about the pathological processes underpinning AD. Objective: This paper aims to systematically review how AD PRS are being used to study a range of outcomes and phenotypes related to neurodegeneration. Methods: We searched the literature from July 2008–July 2018 following PRISMA guidelines. Results: 57 studies met criteria. The AD PRS can distinguish AD cases from controls. The ability of AD PRS to predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD was less clear. There was strong evidence of association between AD PRS and cognitive impairment. AD PRS were correlated with a number of biological phenotypes associated with AD pathology, such as neuroimaging changes and amyloid and tau measures. Pathway-specific polygenic scores were also associated with AD-related biologically relevant phenotypes. Conclusion: PRS can predict AD effectively and are associated with cognitive impairment. There is also evidence of association between AD PRS and other phenotypes relevant to neurodegeneration. The associations between pathway specific polygenic scores and phenotypic changes may allow us to define the biology of the disease in individuals and indicate who may benefit from specific treatments. Longitudinal cohort studies are required to test the ability of PGS to delineate pathway-specific disease activity.

Writing Um Said: Representation of Motherhood in Edward Said’s Out of Place
Authors: Issa Rana 
Published: March 2020

I chose to read Edward Said’s memoir Out of Place expecting to find an alternativehistory of Palestine from one of the most ferocious fighters for the Palestinian cause.I did not find much of Palestine, but I did read an intimate narrative of an Arab boy’s coming of age. Said’s focus on his family was a deliberate opening up of the structure of the Arab household, as he attests in the preface to the Arabic translation of the book. This gesture resonated deeply with my own feminist political position on existing family structures as oppressive units that attempt to control and undermine women’s roles in society.
Excerpts taken from the book by Mai Ghoussoub Leaving Beirut: Women and Wars Within
Authors: Ghoussoub Mai 
Published: March 2020

I was lucky. I had the possibility of leaving. Many were stuck in the war and didn’t have the luxury of avoiding involvement in it. But the bliss of amnesia seems to be shortlived, and the desire to ignore my own responsibilities was a flimsy subterfuge against guilt. The most difficult thing for me to acknowledge is that I blinded myself deliberately for such a long time. It took the ripped and torn body of my brother to release me. What right do I have now to blame those who continued indulging in the abnormality of war?
The Role of French-Arab Women in Constructing a Postcolonial France
Authors: Sutherland Nina 
Published: March 2020

In the years following 2000, French society finally started to address problematic issues emanating from its colonial past (massacres, slavery, and forced labor) and to question what it means to be a postcolonial nation. The discussion of such pointed and problematic subjects had for so long been repressed by successive French governments who feared civil unrest among France's postcolonial immigrant communities and who were ofte composed of and influenced by powerful and nostalgic ex-settler pressure groups. The concept of “postcolonialism” also challenges the fundamental ideals of the French Republic whereby citizens should meld into the dominant social norms of French society and renounce their respective individual history or culture.
Session 1: Empowerment of Women in Politics and Media
Authors: Dabbous-Sensenig Dima 
Published: March 2020

When I was asked to participate in this forum, I thought it was clear what I was getting myself into. As [then] Acting Director of the Institute for Women's Studies in the Arab World (IWSAW) and a media scholar, I thought this was going to be a presentation on media and gender, the intersection of two fields I am quite familiar with from an academic perspective. Easy, I thought. However, when I talked a few weeks ago with Ms. Nakash concerning the details of the presentation, she explained that she expected something personal. I wasn't so sure anymore. Not because I can't be personal, but because I have never done that in public, especially in relation to politics. This is indeed one situation, I thought, where I was not sure I wanted the personal to be political, no offence to sister feminists intended.
Proposed Procedures to Fight Discrimination Against Women in Marriage and Inheritance
Authors: Atiyah Sonia Ibrahim 
Published: March 2020

Lebanese society is multi-religious. The state legally recognizes 19 sects, leaving to each matters of personal status pertaining to its own community. Thus, each sect isgoverned by different laws and has its own courts to implement them. The different codes discriminate between men and women of the same sect, as well as between men and men and women and women, of different sects. This is in addition to the discrepancies in customs and traditions between the various communities.
Working Women in Lebanon

Social legislation in Lebanon does not date back a long time. It is contemporaneous with the industrial development just prior to and after World War II.Clauses 624-656 of the Law of Obligations and Contracts are the only ones that deal with workers and labor, since economic activity used to be restricted to agriculture. But due to economic prosperity, economic openness, commercialexchange, and the mainstream economic ideas that advocate economic justice and industrial advancement, the need to adopt new laws to organize the conditionsof workers and labor emerged.

Women with Disability: the Peculiarity of the Case
Authors: Kabbara Nawaf 
Published: March 2020

The question of “Women with Disability” is related to two subjects simultaneously. The first deals with the issue of women’s rights whilst the other deals with the problem of disability and its impact on the identity of the person with a disability. Whereas the literature has lately become quite rich in research and articles about the condition of women and the different aspects of feminist strategies, accomplishments and the empowerment of women, the question of disabled women is still rare and very underdeveloped. As far as the Arab world is concerned, most of its literature deals with disability as a medical and rehabilitation issue given the fact that these writings are being presented by professionals working in the field.

“Punir ni plus qu’il n’est juste, ni plus qu’il n’est utile”This old and famous French adage seems to have become the motto adopted in relation to penalty sanction. In fact, “the basic aim of the sanction is not onlyany more to dissuade criminals from recidivism, but to rehabilitate them and prepare them to face society again and be reintegrated in it among the righteous and virtuous” (Becheraoui, n.d., in Arabic).
