Social contexts of music culture in the epoch of “current modernity”: from aleatoric to reflecting Shostakovich
Authors: Petinova Marina A. 
Published: December 2020

The dynamic processes taking place in society encompass all the meridians of activity-based forms of culture, including art. The social optics of everyday life shows that today the conditions for the existence of institutions can suddenly change, leading to a change in the way a person exists, transforming his place and habitual forms of activity, leading to an unexpected change in perception, destroying established expectations and goals. Time in such a new social ontology loses its processuality and connectedness, turning into isolated moments, impulses. Creativity processes either freeze, giving way to states of obscurity, prostration, or go into the development of a new media reality, into the public sphere of the digital environment and social communication. The above-described properties of the modern social world have allowed Sigmund Bauman to metaphorically describe it as fluid modernity. But if the borders are fluid and pass everywhere (M. Bakhtin), then the global question arises of the place and position of culture and, in particular, art.

In this study, the dependence of the pharmacological effects of neurotropic peptides of natural and synthetic origin on their structure was studied in laboratory rats. First, the study of the relative molecular profiles of peptide complexes was carried out using HPLC (gel-penetrating chromatography) with an internal standard. Then peptide complexes were administered to animals rectal and verified their biological activity on two independent models antihypoxic activity (method of altitude the lift timing of the animal's life at a critical height) and the model of assessment of physical performance (time of forced swim test of animals with a load of 10% of the body weight to failure). The obtained data on biological activity (increase) were compared with the features of the structure of peptides. To assess the effect of drug doses on their activity, a single-factor analysis of variance was performed.
It has been shown that antihypoxic activity and performance stimulation are more or less inherent in all the studied peptide preparations, and are dose-dependent and related to the features of the molecular mass distribution of peptide components. It was also found that the specific antihypoxic activity of peptide preparations from brain tissues is associated with components having a mass range from 5 to 10 kDa. The optimal proportions of the peptide components for the implementation of biological activity by mass ranges were determined.
In addition, the chromatographic characteristics (molecular weight distribution over mass ranges) of natural neuropeptide complexes can be used to predict the severity of their biological effects.

CREATIVE MEDIA WORKERS AS REPRESENTATIVES TO ACTUALIZE THE TAGLINE OF “INDEPENDENT DAN TRUSTED”
Authors: Robin Patricia 
Published: December 2020

Mass media workers have a good ability to convey ideas to be enjoyed by a wide and heterogeneous audience. Their talents and interests are not arbitrary. They have taken special education in college and graduated with a related bachelor's degree. However, their intellectual abilities are not accompanied by the ability to appreciate and reward themselves, which should deserve a decent income or a comfortable working environment. In the name of capitalism which was finally realized in the form of alienation, they carried out the work with great pride even though it was apparent. This study uses qualitative research methods by collecting data through interviews of one of the televisions workers. Based on the research results, it is clearly illustrated how the mass media workers consider that completely devoting themselves to companies that have provided opportunities and income is something that is worth doing. Moreover, there is special pride when they are able to contribute in providing education and information to the wider community. This confirms false awareness that arises from a mass media worker.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: to study the combined Photo-Activated Chromophore for Keratitis — Corneal Cross-Linking (PACK-CXL) in combination with fulguration of the infiltration zone in the treatment of medically refractive acanthamoebic keratitis.Patients and methods. The study included 9 patients (10 eyes) with medically refractive acanthamoebic keratitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by confocal microscopy data from a microbiological study of scraping of corneal tissue from the lesion site with Romanovsky-Giemsa stain. All patients underwent combined surgical treatment of PACK-CXL with pre-fulguration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment of the eye was also performed using an RTVue-100 apparatus (Optovue USA), determination of visual acuity, photographing before and after surgery.Results. In 6 cases (60 %), a positive effect was noted, relief of the symptoms of the disease and the formation of turbidity within a month after the procedure, as well as an increase in the maximum corrected visual acuity. According in vivo confocal microscopy, 6 months after the intervention, no signs of infection were detected. In 4 cases, the therapeutic effect was absent. Subsequently, 3 patients (3 eyes) underwent therapeutic keratoplasty. In one eye, the infectious process was stopped medically for 6 months.Conclusion. The combined PACK-CXL method together with fulguration can be effective and safe in the treatment of medically refractive acanthamoebic keratitis, allowing keratoplasty to be performed with an optical goal if necessary, after stopping the infection process in a distant period.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is one of the 1st line treatment options for managing renal stones. Miniaturization of this technique has been developed to decrease the morbidity of this technique without compromising the results. Mini PCNL (mPCNL) involves the use of small calibre sheath and nephroscope to tackle renal stones of small to moderate size. The aim of this study is to present the efficacy and technical advantages of mPCNL in managing renal stones.Methods: This was a retrospective single centre study of mPCNL in managing renal stones. Results: From July 2015 to July 2020 192 mPCNL procedures were done at our centre in 175 patients. The median number of stones was 1(1-3) and the average size of calculus was 18.5 mm (6-35) mm. Mean operative time in our study was 46 (35-92) minutes. Fever developed in 15 (7.8%) patients which was managed by parenteral antibiotics, none of our patients required ICU admission. Haemothorax developed in 2 (1%) patients and both of them were managed by tube thoracostomy. We achieved complete clearance in 183 (95.3%) cases. In 9 (4.7%) patients residual calculi were manged by flexible ureteroscopy at 1 month. Conclusions: mPCNL is an effective procedure for management of patients with renal stones with the advantages of less blood loss, short hospital stay and excellent stone clearance rate.

Published: December 2020

Background: Knowledge of family planning (KFP) and contraceptive use play a vital role in controlling the level of fertility. The association between indigenous women's KFP and contraceptive use was badly found in inadequate studies. This study aimed to determine the factors that connect contraceptives use as well as gathering KFP of indigenous women.Methods: This study was carried out among purposively selected six Upazilas of Dinajpur district, where most of the indigenous peoples live. About 223 respondents were randomly selected for data collection by using a structured questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to describe the individual variables, and to find the associations among the variables. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the effects of selected socio-demographic factors on KFP and contraceptive use. Results: The results acknowledged that contraceptive use was found higher among school attended women (69%) and women (75%) of service holder husbands. Women who were involved in higher working status also use more contraceptives and are concerned about KFP. Pill and injections were more used among modern methods. Location, school attendance, educational and occupational status of the respondent and their husbands were found to be significantly associated with KFP and use of contraception among indigenous women.Conclusions: KFP and contraceptive use among women defined a gap was identified. By creating educational and employment opportunities for women to be enhanced the KFP and contraceptive use. Also, the socio-demographic factors needed to be taken into consideration in formulating policies and implementing programs among women.

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is the continuous care that is accorded to women in the course of pregnancy. Notably, antenatal care is an efficient health intervention aimed at inhibiting maternal mortality and morbidity majorly in areas where women have poor health. This study therefore assessed the patient related factors that influence utilization of ANC at Saku sub-county, Kenya.Methods: This research applied descriptive cross sectional study design. The study was carried out in Saku Sub County in the following randomly selected health facilities: Marsabit County Referral Hospital, Dakabaricha Dispensary and Jirime Dispensary. The study population comprised of post-natal mothers aged between 15-49 years seeking services at maternal and child health clinic (MCH) in Saku Sub County. The Cochran's Sample Size Formula was used to calculate a sample size of 154 respondents. The study employed a researcher- administered semi-structured questionnaire and use of focused group discusions. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests and logistic regression were used in the analysis.Results: Tertially/University education was significantly associated with utilization of ANC Services (OR=0.377, p-value=0.012, 0.177-0.806). There was a significant association between. The age between 15-19 years with the utilization of ANC services (OR =2.470, p-value=0.044, 1.024-5.955).Conclusions: There was a significant association between utilization of Antenatal care and receiving support from family members (p-value=0.035). Mothers are likely to utilize ANC services more often if they receive family support. Therefore, family support exerts a positive impact on a pregnant woman’s psychological well-being, as well as on the health of her newborn. Sensitizing men about antenatal services and their benefits health-care providers is important.

Authors: Nath Som , Nath Manjusha 
Published: December 2020

Background: Menstruation is a normal physiological process indicating beginning of reproductive life but sometimes it is considered as unclean phenomenon, vulnerable to reproductive tract infection (RTI). Considering the relationship between menstrual hygiene problem and RTI, the study was undertaken to determine the demographics and knowledge, practices and awareness related to menstrual hygiene.Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted among non-medical females of age group 15 to 45 years, involved in different professions in the campus of Rama University, Kanpur. Study subjects were selected by simple randomization method and were interviewed for menstrual hygiene in pretested proforma and data were analysed using appropriate statistical methods.Results: Eligible females using sanitary pads were mostly literate/students (55.6%) while those using old cloth pads were mainly Home makers (36.8%), mess workers/maid (35.1%). This difference was found to be statistically significant (χ2=27.055, p=0.001). Females of lower class (22.8%) were mostly using old cloth pads. Females have different ideas about menstruation viz. cleans body/remove dirty blood or fluids (19.5%); while 22.5% study females did not have any idea about menstruation. ‘Safe and easy to use’ was the main reason of using sanitary pads (32.5%) while easily available at home (31.3%), mothers/sisters/friends using it (24.1%), was main reason of using old cloth pads.Conclusions: Literacy and social class has an impact on using sanitary pad by eligible females. Females using old cloth were due to family environment and lack of education. There is a need of correct knowledge from beginning i.e. school age and proper menstrual hygienic practices to protect the women from RTI.
