Introduction. The relevance of the declared topic was dictated by the increased conflict between the members of education and the increasing demands placed on the professional activities of the modern teachers to resolve conflicts in the conditions of general education school. In the course of professional training of future teachers in universities, the formation of conflict competence is not paid due attention, so there is a need to determine the role, content and learning technologies for conflict management training of future teachers.The aimof the present publication is to evaluate the effectiveness of conflict management training technology for future teachers.Methodology and research methods. The authors carried out a pedagogical experiment using pre- and post-testing method of the level of formation of the components of conflict readiness of students of a pedagogical university – participants of experimental and control groups. The sample of the experiment was based on 120 of 2nd-4thyear students of the Faculty of History of the South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University of Chelyabinsk. The following methods were used to collect the empirical data: the Thomas test; an achievement test to assess conflict knowledge; practical tasks (cases); methodology “My Conflict Position” (by V. V. Schernyazova). Mathematical processing of the research results was performed through the Pearson’s chi-squared test.Results. The differences in the formation of cognitive, technological and personal components in students of the control and experimental group have been established. The dependence of the formation of components of conflict readiness of students for the introduction of a specially developed programme has been determined. After pedagogical impact, the number of students with high cognitive component levels rose from 0 to 39,3%. Most students (97,6%) learned algorithms to solve typical interpersonal conflicts and began to choose more constructive strategies to solve them. In the experimental group after the experiment, the personal component of conflict readiness was higher than in the control group.Scientific novelty. The system is proposed to provide effective conflict management training for future teachers, which consists of three components: immersion in the information field of conflict; intensification of conflict resolution activities; mastering of constructive practices of conflict management.Practical significance. The research results are of particular interest for the development of educational programmes in the system of professional education.

Amaç: Soliter pulmoner nodüllerin (SPN) karakterizasyonunda radyolojik görüntülemenin değerlendirme zorlukları, PET/BT’ye ihtiyaç duyulmasına neden olmuştur. PET/BT’de semikantitatif analizin yanında atenüasyon düzeltmeli (AC) ve düzeltmesiz (NAC) görüntülerin vizüel değerlendirmesi de yapılabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda soliter pulmoner lezyonların karakterizasyonunda farklı PET/BT değerlendirme yöntemlerinin patolojik tanı ile uyumluluğuna bakmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Akciğerinde 1 cm ve üstü lezyon saptanan ve metabolik karakterizasyon için PET/BT çekimine gelen hastalar dahil edildi. Akciğer lezyonları AC ve NAC görüntülerinde vizüel ve SUVmax değeri ile semikantitatif olarak değerlendirildi. Her görüntü değerlendirme yönteminin sensitivitesini, spesifisitesini, doğruluğunu, negatif öngörme değerini (NPV) ve pozitif öngörme değerini (PPV) inceledik ve bunların patolojik tanı ile uyumluluğuna baktık.
Bulgular: Malign lezyonların SUVmaks değeri 13,62±9,03, benign lezyonların SUVmax değeri 3,71±3,07 idi. SUVmaks eşik değerini 2,5 aldığımızda, sensitivite %100, spesifite %35,7, doğruluk %83,5, PPV %81,8 ve NPV %100 olarak hesaplandı. Vizüel değerlendirmede 1 ve 2 skoru benign, 3 ve 4 skoru malign olarak kabul edildiğinde, AC görüntülemede sensitivite %100, spesifite %53,6, doğruluk %81,7, PPV %80,2 ve NPV %100 olarak bulunup, patolojiyle orta düzeyde uyumluluk saptandı. NAC görüntülemede sensitivite %100, spesifite %60,7, doğruluk %89,9, PPV %88 ve NPV %100 olarak bulunup, patolojiyle iyi düzeyde uyumluluk saptandı.
Sonuç: Pulmoner lezyonların değerlendirilmesinde SUVmax değerinin yanında AC ve NAC görüntüler de incelenmelidir.

Levobupivacaine is relatively new drug and studies in supraclavicular blocks are limited. Our Primary aim was to evaluate and compare block characteristics and post operative analgesia of Levobupivacaine with Ropivacaine in supraclavicular block.Secondary aim was to compare systemic toxicity profiles of both drugs. Totally 60 adult patients were randomly allocated to two equal groups (n = 30). Patients in Group-R received 20 ml 0.5% ropivacaine and Group-L received 20 ml 0.5% Levobupivacaine in ultrasonography guided supraclavicular block.The main objective was to evaluate block characteristics and the duration of analgesia and other were hemodynamic variables, sedation score, and adverse effects. The data were interpreted with the help of t-test and Chi-square test.Onset time, Peak effect time and total duration of sensory block was 90.33± 35.43 sec, 379.67 ± 201.21sec and 428.5± 94.19 min in Group L while it was 192.33± 65.21 sec, 484± 202.05 sec and 345.17± 104.59 min in Group-R respectively. (P value &#60; 0.05).Onset time and total duration of motor block was 265.67 ± 117.9 sec and 331 ± 93.13 min. in Group L while it is 283.± 122.73 sec and 310± 99.83 min in Group R (p ≥ .05)The duration of post-operative analgesia was 12±2.12 hr in group L and 7.7±1.9 hr. in group R (p value &#60; .001). Levobupivacaine (0.5% 20 ml) can be safely and effectively used in ultrasound guided supraclavicular block and it has early onset with prolonged duration of anaesthesia as well as prolonged post-operative pain relief compare to Ropivacaine.

Published: September 2020

Etomidate is used for induction of anaesthesia in haemodynamically unstable patients but its use is associated with undesirable side effects like myoclonus, incidence of which is 50-80%. This prospective, randomized, placebo controlled study is to compare the effect of dexamethasone and fentanyl for prevention of etomidate induced myoclonus. Ninety adult patients were randomly assigned into three groups to receive Dexamethasone (group D), Fentanyl (group F) and placebo (group P) five min before injection etomidate 0.3mg/kg IV. The patients were assessed for myoclonus using a four point intensity scoring system over a period of 5 min. ANOVA and chi square test were used for statistical analysis and P&#60;0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The incidence of myoclonus was significantly reduced in groups D and F compared with group P (p value 0.001).The incidence of pain associated with Etomidate induced myoclonus also was significantly reduced in groups D and F compared to group P (p value 0.001). Dexamethasone significantly reduces the incidence of myoclonus as compared to placebo. It also significantly reduces the pain associated with Etomidate injection. However its efficacy to reduce pain and myoclonus as compared to Fentanyl is much less.

Direct laryngoscopy is most widely used method of oro-tracheal intubation but at times it could be difficult, and may lead to adverse effect on cardiovascular system. Video laryngoscopy in contrast provides better visualisation of airway making oro-tracheal intubation easy. The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the use of Video laryngoscope (Glidescope) versus the direct (Macintosch) laryngoscope blade for routine airway management A prospective randomised comparative study was done by randomly allocating patients undergoing elective surgery to one of two Groups comprising 50 patients in each as: Group I-indirect laryngoscope (Video) and Group D-Direct (Macintosh) laryngoscope. After induction patients were intubated according to group allotted. Ease of intubation and other haemodynamic parameters were recorded at numerous intervals as follow: baseline, after induction of anaesthesia, one and five minutes after intubation. Time required for the laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in Group I i.e. indirect (18.50 seconds) was more as compared to Group D direct (11.76 seconds) with statistical significance. The Group I procedure significantly reduced tracheal intubation difficulty score and the ease of intubation was statistically insignificant as compared to that of Group D. It was found that there was a significantly better Modified Cormack Lehane Grade in Group I(100%) as compared to Group D(65%).Video laryngoscopy (Glidescope) is considered advantageous over conventional direct laryngoscope (Macintosh) in terms of lower intubation difficulty score (IDS), better ease of intubation and lower grades of Modified Cormack Lehane Grade with indirect laryngoscopy). It can be used as a teaching tool for novice intubators and offers a new approach to tracheal intubation.

To compare between clonidine and fentanyl as adjuvants with intrathecal bupivacaine in LSCS patients to know the: 1) Starting time and total time of sensory block; 2) Starting time and total time of motor block; 3) Total time of postoperative analgesia. In a prospective, randomized study, 120 patients who are to undergo caesarean section between 18 and 30 years of age and of ASA grade I or II were randomly distributed into three groups. Patients were given intrathecally 2 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (control group) or bupivacaine combined with 45mg of clonidine (clonidine group) or with 25mg of fentanyl (fentanyl group). Study of starting time and total time of sensory and motor blockade, level of sedation, total time of perioperative analgesia, maternal hemodynamic and fetal parameters were compared. Time to two segment regression was increased in fentanyl group and clonidine group than in control group. Total time of analgesia was significantly more in fentanyl group and clonidine group than in control group. There was increased incidence of side-effects in clonidine group than other two groups.Postoperative analgesia was increased by addition of 25mg fentanyl and 45mg clonidine to bupivacaine, with more side effects like hypotension, bradycardia and sedation in clonidine group.

This study was conducted to evaluate patient’s understanding of orthodontic instructions about the care of their orthodontic appliance and maintenance of oral hygiene during the fixed mechanotherapy. This study was done in the Department of Orthodontics at Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences, Bangalore. A self‑assessed questionnaire was formulated to assess the awareness among patients regarding the care of their fixed appliance. It was distributed among patients and only completely filled questionnaires which were 100 in number were considered for analysis. The questionnaire was divided into 3 categories – Food, Hygiene and General Instructions on Maintenance. The Questionnaire had a total of 18 questions with YES or NO type of response. The data obtained by the survey was statistically analysed. Number of Male and Female patients was 37 and 63 respectively. In the category of Food, the overall positive response was 87.6% whereas negative response was 12.4%. In the category of Hygiene,the overall positive response was 87.2% whereas negative response was 12.8%. In the category of General Instructions and Maintenance, the overall positive response was 83.5%, whereas negative response was 16.5%. Though majority of the patients exhibited impressive levels of understanding regarding food and hygiene, there was a lack of awareness about the general instructions and maintenance. So as orthodontists, we need to emphasize more on the awareness of patients regarding the care of their appliance which will go a long way in improving the overall results.

Zróżnicowanie i skończoność człowieka wobec boskiej nieskończoności i otwartości na to, co większe i nowe
Kartezjańskie „Cogito ergo sum” determinuje nowoczesne myślenia poprzez podkreślenie znaczenia „ego” („ja”). W związku z tym wielu ludzi żyjących w swej indywidualnej, konkretnej, historycznej sytuacji, ma tendencję do stawania się absolutnym i niezależnym podmiotem i panem własnego życia, myśli i postaw. Poszczególne czynniki ich biografii, takie jak miejsce i data urodzenia, płeć, język, zawód, przynależność religijna itp. określamy (zaczerpniętym ze współczesnej egzegezy biblijnej) terminem „kontekst”. Pośród mnogości różnych „ego” zauważamy takie „ja”, które (z własnej perspektywy) są „nie-ja”; nazywamy je: „wy” lub „my”.
Następnie opisany jest rozwój nowoczesnej myśli zachodniej w świetle koncepcji „osoby”. W myśli zachodniej „osoba” jest rozumiana głównie jako jednostka, choć filozofia i teologia średniowieczna podkreśla zarówno indywidualność, jak i relacyjność. Trudność w tłumaczeniu terminu „osoba” w różnych środowiskach kulturowych ukazana została w odniesieniu do języka japońskiego.
Pełniejsze zrozumienie człowieka osiągamy tylko wtedy, gdy poznamy jego ograniczenia, zwłaszcza w nauce i technice, i gdy przywrócimy poczucie nieskończoności. Kanadyjski filozof Charles Taylor przypomina, że w dzisiejszym świecie spotykamy nie tylko ludzi, którzy całkowicie porzucili wiarę w Boga i żyją w radykalnej autodeterminacji, ale jest także wielu takich, którzy oczekują spełnienia w życiu bezinteresownym, osadzonym w nadziei na nowe życie pochodzące od Całkiem Innego, którego nazywamy Bogiem – i solidarnie działają na rzecz pojednania, pokoju i sprawiedliwości.
Unfulfilled Inflammatory Resolution: A Key Factor in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Authors: Jadali Zohreh 
Published: September 2020

Recent literature has highlighted the importance of chronic inflammation in psoriasis pathogenesis. Non-resolving inflammation can trigger progressive tissue damage and inflammatory mediator release which in turn perpetuate the inflammatory cycle. Under normal conditions, inflammatory responses are tightly controlled through several mechanisms that restore normal tissue function and structure. Defects in regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory response can result in persistent unresolved inflammation and further increases of inflammation. Therefore, this review focuses on defects in regulatory mechanisms of inflammatory responses that lead to uncontrolled chronic inflammation in psoriasis. Databases such as Pubmed Embase, ISI, and Iranian databases including Iranmedex, and SID were researched to identify relevant literature. The results of this review indicate that dysregulation of the inflammatory response may be a likely cause of various immune-mediated inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis. Based on current findings, advances in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in inflammation resolution are not only improving our knowledge of the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases but also supporting the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Background and Aims: Iron Deficiency (ID) is a common obstetric problem and nutritional disorder that occurs mostly in developing countries. Hence, nutritional studies are required every few years to determine the necessary healthcare interventions for pregnant women. This cross-sectional study evaluated the plasma iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) levels of pregnant women referred to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 58 non-pregnant women, 22 pregnant women in the first trimester, 52 in second, and 44 in the third trimester. The plasma ferritin concentration of these samples was measured by chemiluminescence assay, while the plasma transferrin, TIBC, and iron concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plasma ferritin levels <15μg/L were considered ID.
Results: The overall prevalence of ID in pregnant women was 33.1%. However, the prevalence of ID was 29.3%, 22.7%, 34.6%, and 36.4% among non-pregnant women, women in the first trimester, second and third trimester, respectively. The mean±SEM iron levels were significantly higher among pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women (p=0.004). There was no significant difference in the mean±SEM of plasma ferritin, transferrin and TIBC concentrations between pregnant and non-pregnant women (p>0.05). Nevertheless, the mean±SEM plasma iron, ferritin, and UIBC significantly differed across the gestational ages of pregnant women (p<0.05).
Conclusions: This study revealed a high prevalence of ID during pregnancy, which increases with the trimester of affected women. Healthcare interventional measures that can address ID are recommended.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: Cat-scratch disease is caused by Bartonella henselae infection and it commonly presents in children with a mild cutaneous lesion and adjacent lymphadenitis. It has rarely been observed that it can present as a disseminated infection, such as encephalitis or pneumonia. We present a case report of a 35-year old, immunocompetent, patient who suffered pneumonia and encephalitis, resulting from Bartonella henselae infection. We also present a review of the literature published regarding this rare complication.
Methods: We’ve searched the literature in the databases of Pubmed and Google Scholar to find articles that report pulmonary presentations of cat-scratch disease.
Results: We’ve found only 16 other reported similar cases with pulmonary involvement in cat-scratch disease.
Conclusions: Pulmonary presentation in cat-scratch disease is an uncommon presentation of a common disease, and it should be ruled out, even in cases it seems unlikely.
Predictors of Omphalitis among Spontaneous Vertex Delivery Neonates in Nakuru County Hospital, Kenya
Authors: Kinanu Lucy , Mwaura James , Karani Anne 
Published: September 2020

Background; Omphalitis (umbilical cord infection) among new-borns is common and a major cause of neonatal deaths in developing countries. Annually, about 4 million neonatal deaths occur around the world. Of these, >30% are caused by infections that mainly from umbilical cord. Cord care practices may directly contribute neonatal infections, largely contributing tothis was part data from a larger randomized trial among 540 participant’s neonatal deaths. Cord infections are more prevalent in developing countries because of the high rates of poverty and unhygienic practices.
Objective: To determine the predictors of omphalitis among neonates in Nakuru County Hospital, Kenya.
Methodology This was part data from a larger randomized trial among 540 participants.
Findings: The prevalence of Omphalitis was 23.1. Babies whose mothers’ did not wash hands when eating had 2.14 times risk of developing cord infection compared to those babies whose mothers’ indicated otherwise [AOR=2.14; 95%CI=1.28 - 3.57; p=0.004]. Likewise, babies whose mothers’ never folded diapers backwards were twice likely over those who did to develop cord infection [AOR=1.88; 95%CI=1.03 - 3.44; p=0.039]. Babies whose mothers’ stayed in different rooms had 7.35 times risk of developing cord infection [AOR=7.35; 95%CI=3.40 - 15.91; p<0.001] over those roomed in.
Conclusion and recommendation: Maternal and caretakers hand hygiene, folding back of diapers and rooming in are critical in cord infection prevention. Health education to mothers and care takers on the importance of hand hygiene, diaper application and importance of rooming in is recommended to minimise omphalitis and consequential morbidity.

Published: September 2020

This study attempts to describe the juridical and historical aspects of the implementation of the Manpower Law, and this study aims to analyze the importance of the Omnibus Law "Cipta Karya" in Indonesia in Indonesia.. This research was conducted using descriptive and qualitative methods, through a library research approach. The results of this study indicate that the Omnibus Law “Cipta Karya” Bill was passed by the Indonesian Parliament. The bill is considered to have the potential to violate the rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution because for the sake of investment, labor rights are secondary. Therefore, comprehensive and sustainable strategic efforts are needed to improve labor laws in Indonesia with reference to the mandate of Law Number 12 of 2011 in conjunction with Law Number 15 of 2019 concerning the Formation of Laws and Regulations that must contain consideration of aspects philosophical and juridical and sociological. Therefore, the Government and the House of Representative (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia - DPR RI) must have a high commitment and political will in terms of the formation of labor laws and regulations based on the principles of clarity of objectives, the principle of appropriate institutional or forming organs. , the principle of clarity of formulation, and the principle of transparency
