Authors: Abed Musab Sabah 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
With the intention of providing a balance between the disposal of wastes generated from incineration processes and mitigate the emissions from industrial activities, the reuse of incineration waste as alternatives to conventional binders would offer a sustainable solution to reduce their environmental impact. This study aims to experimentally investigate the effect of firewood, ash (FWA) and ordinary Portland cement on some of the geotechnical properties of low plastic clayey soil (CL). The experimental program was introduced by partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement with firewood ash (FWA) up to 10 % with an increment of 2 %. A series of unconfined compressive test (UCT) and Atterberg limits test were performed. The results indicate that plasticity characteristics are affected by the addition of both cement and (FWA). Also, the results showed that the unconfined compressive strength increases for all replacement levels in comparison with the plain clay sample. The term deformability index (DI) also discussed with respect to different replacement level. The 70.61 % pozzolanic activity index indicates that (FWA) is a good pozzolan in accordance with ASTM C 618 specification. Finally, three modes of failure were detected which varying in accordance with the proportion of replacement.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The article presents test research on thermal sensations, thermal preferences, as well as general thermal sensations in a single-family building. Graphs were drawn to determine the frequency of answers chosen by the respondents and the relationship between temperature and thermal sensations, as well as the influence of relative humidity on thermal sensations. A comparison was also made between the average thermal sensation vote and the PMV index, which determines the ‘predicted mean vote’ - estimated by the Fanger model. The aim of the study was to compare the actual feelings of the respondents with standard guidelines. As a result of this analysis it was found that the thermal sensations of the respondents do not comply with the adopted model included in the standard.

Abstract

Introduction. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the world among chronic diseases. The article discusses the relationship between the quality of life of patients with COPD and the presence of diseases associated mainly with hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. The examination includes subjective and holistic assessment of the patient’s health condition, which allows to notice any disorders and deficits in the functioning of patients with this disease.

Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease depending on the comorbidities.

Material and methods. The study included 319 COPD patients treated in the Lung Diseases Clinic with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study was conducted using a diagnostic survey method and analyzing medical records. The research tool assessing patients quality of life was the SGRQ questionnaire (Saint George Hospital Questionaire).

Results. Respondents who had a myocardial infarction had a slightly lower quality of life in the “Impact on life subscale” (p=0.047). It was noted that patients with hypertension had a lower quality of life in the domain of “Activity” (p<0.05) and “Impact on life” (p<0.001). However, with hyperlipidemia, a lower quality of life was noticeable in the “Symptoms” (p<0.001) and “Impact on life” subscale (p=0.002).

Conclusions. Exacerbation of symptoms in the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a history of myocardial infarction, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are significantly related to the decreased quality of life of patients. Prevention of these civilization diseases can prevent deterioration of the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
A technology for producing gold films on the surface of fabric materials has been developed, which provides for preliminary wetting of the fabric product with aqueous solutions of gold (III) chloride. In this case, a sorption layer of gold chloride is formed on the surface of fabric materials. Then, when drying these products under sunlight, physicochemical and photochemical processes occur, leading initially to the formation of monovalent gold chlorides, which, having semiconductor properties, provide the release of elemental gold. After washing of by-products on the surface of the material remains an ultra-thin film of gold, which has a sufficiently strong grip on the base. Since the proposed technology does not require special equipment it can be used to apply functional films of gold on various products of technical, household and medical purposes.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and adequate surgical treatment are the key factors for the course of the laryngeal cancer of the head and neck and the outcome of the surgical treatment in these patients. The aim of the paper is to compare the characteristics of the surgically treated patients with the larynx carcinoma who developed recidivism to those who did not. The study was done as a retrospective observational case-control study on a total of 90 patients with the laryngeal cancer who had been successfully operated on and whose cases had been followed over a period of at least five years after the surgery. After that, they were shorted into two groups based on the development of recidivism, and clinical characteristics of the patients with and without recidive disease were compared. 19 out of 90 patients developed recidivism. Maximum diameter of the tumour was significantly larger in patients without local recidivism. In patients without local recidivism, most common clinical stages were 3 and 4 (32.4%, 40.8%, respectively), whereas in patients with local recidivism stages 1 and 2 were the most common (47.7%, 26.3%, respectively). The average time to disease recurrence in the 19 patients who developed local recidive disease was 648.10 (384.67-911.54) days. Pathohistological analysis showed that samller the size of the tumour and lower T grade at the moment of surgery are precautionary factors for further monitoring of patients with laryngeal cancer.

AbstraktW literaturze naukowej od wielu lat szeroko omawiana jest tematyka zanieczyszczeń powietrza. W miastach w sytuacji długotrwałego utrzymywania się przekroczeń norm jakości powietrza istotne staje się zagadnienie zrównoważonego rozwoju tkanki urbanistycznej. Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu uwarunkowań przestrzennych na terenie Krakowa na rejestrowane wysokie wartości stężeń zanieczyszczeń powietrza pyłem PM10 w 2017 r. Analizę przeprowadzono, wykorzystując dane pomiarowe Wojewódzkiego Inspektoratu Ochrony Środowiska w Krakowie oraz niezależnej sieci czujników Airly. Na podstawie przetworzonych materiałów scharakteryzowano stan jakości powietrza w mieście. Analiza liczby dni z przekroczeniami 24-godzinnego dopuszczalnego poziomu PM10 pozwoliła wskazać obszary na terenie miasta najbardziej narażone na wysokie wartości stężeń niebezpiecznej substancji. Na podstawie wyników wskazano, że w skali lokalnej występują źródła punktowe, liniowe i powierzchniowe mające wpływ na stan aerosanitarny Krakowa. Przeanalizowano również jedno z narzędzi walki o czyste powietrze w mieście, tj. zapisy obowiązujących w wybranych obszarach miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Zestawiając ustalenia aktów prawa miejscowego z wynikami zaprezentowanej liczby dni z przekroczeniami dopuszczalnych dobowych stężeń dla analizowanych obszarów, stwierdzono, iż nie w każdym przypadku ogólne zapisy są w stanie ograniczyć nadmierne zanieczyszczenia.

Published: November 2020

С появлением на нелегальном рынке наркотиков новых психоактивных веществ, одно из первых в данном классе стали занимать синтетические каннабиноиды (СК). СК в основном распространяются через сеть Интернет, с помощью онлайн мессенджеров, и VPN-сетей. Токсическое влияние СК на организм человека оказывается достаточно мощным и нередко заканчивается летальным исходом. Однако аддиктивный потенциал СК достаточно высок, и нуждается в дальнейшем изучении, особенно с появлением новых классов СК. Разработка дифференциально-диагностических критериев и терапевтических подходов при лечении острых психотических состояний, вызванных употреблением СК, представляется актуальной задачей для практического здравоохранения. Цель: обзор накопленных научных данных о последствиях рекреационного употребления СК на организм человека. Материалы: при написании обзора использовали следующие репрезентативные базы данных: PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane, платформы SciFinder, и Scopus. Методы: в качестве поисковых запросов использовались следующие ключевые слова: Spice, K2, synthetic cannabis, new psychoactive sub-stances (NPS), adverse effects, cannabinoid’s receptor, psychosis due to the use NPS, fatalities. Реферируемые статьи были отфильтрованы по тезисам, с целью определения релевантности для настоящего обзора.
With the emergence of novel psychoactive substances in the illegal drug market, synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) became one of the first in this class. SCs are mainly distributed through the Internet, by online messengers and VPN networks. The toxic effect of SCs on the human body is quite powerful and often results in death. The addictive potential of SCs is rather high and needs further study, especially with the emergence of new SC classes. Development of differential diagnostic criteria and therapeutic approaches in the treatment of acute psychotic conditions caused by the use of SCs is an urgent task for practical health care. Objective: to review scientific data on consequences of the recreational use of SCs in humans. Materials: data from six representative databases, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane, the SciFinder platform, and Scopus, were used for this review. Methods: the following combinations and keywords were used as search queries: Spice, K2, synthetic cannabis, novel psychoactive substances (NPS), adverse effects, cannabinoid’s receptor, psychosis due to the use of NPS, fatalities. Peer-reviewed articles were filtered by abstracts to determine their relevance for the present review.

Published: November 2020

Introdução: Os adenomas hipofisários são tumores caracterizados pela proliferação de células adeno-hipofisárias produtoras de hormônios tróficos. Dentre eles, os adenomas hipofisários produtores de TSH (TSHomas), neoplasias benignas pouco frequentes, que correspondem a menos do que 3% dos adenomas hipofisários. Método: Pesquisamos os termos TSHomas, tireotropinomas e adenomas pituitários secretores de TSH nas bases Pubmed, Lilacs e Scielo. Incluímos artigos publicados entre 2010 e 2020, sendo excluídos relatos de casos, artigos indisponíveis e que não tratavam sobre o tema. Resultados e discussão: Os TSHomas são tumores fibrosos, monoclonais, com incidência entre 0,015 a 0,03 casos/100.000 habitantes, que se manifestam por hipertireoidismo e sintomas causados por efeito de massa. São diagnosticados diante da elevação de TSH juntamente a hormônios tireoidianos, na presença de alterações neurorradiológicas. O tratamento de primeira escolha consiste na neurocirurgia transesfenoidal, sendo os análogos de somatostatina e a radioterapia alternativas para o manejo de pacientes em que a intervenção cirúrgica é desaconselhada. Conclusão: Os TSHomas são raros, contudo, precisam ser investigados diante da secreção inadequada de TSH.Palavras chave: Adenoma, Hormônios tireoidianos, Neoplasias hipofisárias, Síndrome da secreção inadequada de TSH, Hipertireoidismo centralABSTRACTIntroduction: Pituitary adenomas are tumors characterized by the proliferation of adenohypophysis cells that produce trophic hormones. Among them, TSH-producing pituitary adenomas (TSHomas), uncommon benign neoplasms, whichcorrespond to less than 3% of pituitary adenomas. Method: We searched for the terms TSHomas, thyrotropinomas and pituitary adenomas secreting TSH in the Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo databases. We included articles published between 2010 and 2020, excluding case reports, articles that were unavailable and did not deal with the topic. Results and discussion: TSHomas are fibrous, monoclonal tumors, with an incidence of 0.015 to 0.03 cases / 100,000 inhabitants, which are manifested by hyperthyroidism and symptoms caused by a mass effect. They are diagnosed with elevated TSH along with thyroid hormones, in the presence of neuroradiological changes. The first-choice treatment consists of transsphenoidal neurosurgery, with somatostatin analogs and radiotherapy being alternatives for the management of patients in whom surgical intervention is not recommended. Conclusion: TSHomas are rare, however, they need to be investigated due to inadequate TSH secretion.Keywords: Adenoma, Thyroid hormones, Pituitary neoplasms, Inappropriate TSH secretion syndrome, Central hypothyroidism

Community-based Peer Sexual Health Educators: Lessons from Youth
Authors: Shute Tanya , Hall Laura 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Developing and utilizing youth community members as peer educators is a growing and common phenomenon in health and social services, largely because of the organic learning and modelling processes in their everyday lives made possible by peer-to-peer processes. Part of what makes peer education effective over professional education is the potential rapport and trust built through shared lived experiences and identities between peers. There is significant potential for engaging peers in sexual health education specifically. This small-scale qualitative study explores the sexual health education needs of youth staying/living in York Region who identify as part of LGBTQ+ communities, as well as youth who either experience homelessness or experience serious mental health problems using a focus group methodology. The objective of this study is to report on the findings from the first session in a series of focus groups. Findings suggest that education about the consent to sexual activity is a significant area of need for all participants, and has implications in terms of the social context for participants. Emerging findings will be discussed in terms of participants’ expressed needs, such as a greater emphasis on consent, using all venues to discuss consent and relationships, and the importance of social identity of educators matching that of participants.
Beyond the Social Determinants of Health

Abstract
This paper will reflect on key findings from a Summer 2017 initiative entitled The Role of Culture and Land-Based Healing in Addressing and Ending Violence against Indigenous Women and Two-Spirited People. The Indigenist and decolonizing methodological approach of this work ensured that all research was grounded in experiential and reciprocal ways of learning. Two major findings guide the next phase of this research, complicating the premise that traditional economic activities are healing for Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people. First, the complexities of the mainstream labour force were raised numerous times. Traditional economies are pressured in ongoing ways through exploitative labour practices. Secondly, participants emphasized the importance of attending to the responsibility of nurturing, enriching, and sustaining the wellbeing of soil, water, and original seeds in the process of creating renewal gardens as a healing endeavour. In other words, we have an active role to play in healing the environment and not merely using the environment to heal ourselves. Gardening as research and embodied knowledge was stressed by extreme weather changes including hail in June, 2018, which meant that participants spent as much time talking about the healing of the earth and her systems as the healing of Indigenous women in a context of ongoing colonialism.
Indigenous Fathering and Wellbeing: Kinship and Decolonial Approaches to Health Research

In the past decade, Canadian statistics indicate that fathering nurtures family wellbeing which ultimately fosters community growth. The wellbeing of Indigenous men, shaped by determinants of health and culture-based perspectives, is challenged by ongoing settler colonialism. In particular to Indigenous men living with children in their homes, less is known about their strengths as nurturers. For the purpose of this study, based on Indigenist, decolonizing theories, 'father' is not conceived as the head of household. An alternative to the heteropatriarchal model is the kinship orientation of Indigenous fathering and as such, father refers to uncle, grandfather, traditional Clan leader, adoptive parent, and so on. This study's secondary quantitative analysis compared health and social characteristics of three cohorts of Indigenous adult men who identify as residing with children. Based on an extracted subset of variables from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, results showed many significance comparisons among First Nations, Metis and Inuit men. Across health and social domains, multiple and decolonial supports are needed for Indigenous fathering to flourish.
