Subversive Discourses in Hanan Al-Shaykh: Pushing out the Boundaries of Arab Feminism in the Novel
Authors: Ghaly Salwa 
Published: March 2020

Surveying women's literature over the past two centuries, gynocriticism I has found, perhaps to our surprise, that one of the recurrent themes in the writings of both Third World and Western women has been madness. Time and again , women authors from different periods and literary traditions, with diverse cultural,ideological and epistemic affiliations and commitments, bring out this theme to demonstrate emphatically and unequivocally how the symptoms of psychologicaldisfunctionality, together with definitions of madness, are culture-produced and bound, the products of a virulently hierarchical and patriarchal symbolic order.

Women-Headed Households in Lebanon
Authors: Ismail Ghena 
Published: March 2020

One cannot tackle the issue of the family in Lebanon without referring to the women-headed households. According to the statistical survey of the populationand residence, conducted by the Ministry of Social Affairs and issued on October 14, 1996 , 14.2% of families in Lebanon are headed by women (i.e., 91 ,131 families). These women may be widows, divorcees, abandoned, or married to men who were kidnaped, worked abroad, or are sick and incapable of working. One common factor among these women, whatever the socio-economic background, is that they are in charge of their families by force of the situation.

Authors: Siromolot A.A. , Krynina O.I. , Kolybo D.V. , Komisarenko S.V. 
Published: March 2020

Summary. Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a member of the epidermal growth factor family and has a variety of physiological and pathophysiological functions. Also, HB-EGF plays a pivotal role in progression of different tumors. So, HB-EGF seems to be a target molecule for the treatment of some cancer types. Aim: To obtain HB-EGF neutralizing polyclonal antibodies and test their anti-proliferative properties in vitro. Materials and Methods: Lab rabbits and mice were used for immunization with recombinant HB-EGF. The effect of generated polyclonal antibodies on viability and apoptosis of human epidermoid carcinoma derived A431 cell line was assessed using MTT and Annexin V-propidium iodide assays. Results: Rabbit polyclonal anti-HB-EGF serum could block binding of soluble HB-EGF to epidermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor. Also, anti-HB-EGF antibodies could bind to surface of A431 cells which express abnormally high levels of membrane bound proHB-EGF and its receptor. It has been shown that immune serum with polyclonal antibodies against HB-EGF was able to block the mitogenic activation of the cells with HB-EGF and cause apoptotic cell death. Conclusion: Inhibition of HB-EGF activity with neutralizing polyclonal antibodies can effectively inhibit mitogenic activation and cause apoptosis of cancer cells with significant epidermal growth factor receptor overexpression.

Published: March 2020

Summary. Background: Survival of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients depends on the risk and environmental factors, tumor biology, achievements in diagnostics and treatment approaches. Aim: To perform a survival analysis of the patients with OSCC treated over a 10-year period in a single hospital in Latvia linking these data to histopathological findings, risk factors and received therapy. Materials and Methods: The main outcome measures were overall and disease-specific survival (OS and DS) along with histopathology analysis. Results: Kaplan – Meier survival analysis showed better survival for females, younger patients lacking bad habits, operated and received radiotherapy, with lower T grade and disease stage. Cox regression showed diminished early death risk in patients with lower T grade, no regional metastases (N0) and bad habits, operated and received radiotherapy. A vast majority of tumors were localized in palatine tonsils and the base of the tongue. The localization did not correlate with mean survival time/survival. Lower OS (p = 0.03) and DS (p = 0.026) were estimated for patients with pharyngeal wall and tonsillar involvement compared to tumors localized in the soft palate. A histological variant of tumor seemed irrelevant estimating OS and DS, whereas therapeutic modalities significantly affected survival. Conclusions: OSCC patients with lower T grade, N0 status, lacking bad habits, and surgically treated had better survival.

Published: March 2020

Background: Unit cost estimation is one of the key planning tasks of organisation in order to allocate resources to each activity properly. Therefore, this study was conducted applying top-down costing approach, for academic unit cost estimation.
Objective: To estimate the unit costs using top-down allocation costing approach for academic and operational purposes of the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CEB) at Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of the cost of CEB in fiscal year 2018 was retrieved. Direct and indirect costs were allocated to CEB based on 3 main missions (education, research, and academic services) considering staffs’ activities and time spent for each mission. Three cost per unit of measures (cost per student, cost per publication, and cost per research consultation) were estimated accordingly to these 3 main missions.
Results: In the fiscal year 2018, direct and indirect costs were ฿15 178 761 and ฿737 496, respectively. As for staffs’ time spent for each mission activity, CEB mission costs were ฿6 807 282 for education (฿3 914 187 and ฿2 893 095 for MSc and PhD, respectively), ฿5 912 895 for research, and ฿2 186 280 for academic services.
Conclusions: Unit cost should be estimated properly to minimise and optimally allocate resources to each activity. This study should be useful for other departments as a guideline for their cost management and resource planning.

Published: March 2020

Background: Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder with high incidence in Thailand. Its treatment includes blood transfusion and iron chelating therapy for life long that lead to high cost. Therefore, effective screening processes are required to prevent the newborn with thalassemia.
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of prenatal screening program for thalassemia between a semi-accelerated screening program and the current program.
Methods: Decision tree model was developed under provider perspective. Cost, effectiveness and probabilities data were from literature review. One-way sensitivity analysis was performed to explore around inputs in the model.
Results: The expected costs of the semi-accelerated screening program and the current program were ฿609.29 and ฿462.44, respectively. The expected outcomes to detect a severe thalassemia in fetuses from the semi-accelerated program and the current program is 34 cases and 8 cases in 10 000 couples, respectively. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was ฿57 499.80 per case detected.
Conclusions: The expected costs of the semi-accelerated screening program was higher than the current programs, but the number of fetuses with thalassemia detected from the semi-accelerated screening program was more than the current programs.

Authors: Khamthanet Rattanaporn , Suthutvoravut Somsak 
Published: March 2020

Background: Immigration of women workers from neighboring countries into Thailand to work in factories, usually have poor knowledge, attitude, and misbehavior on reproductive health. This can cause problems of reproductive health in Thai society.
Objective: To compare the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of reproductive health between Thai and immigrant women workers.
Methods: This analytic study compared 107 Thai and 107 immigrant workers in factories in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. All participants were recruited by purposive sampling. Data was collected by self-administered questionnaires which included personal characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to reproductive health. Statistical tests were performed to analyze association between variables.
Results: Thai workers were older than immigrant workers (31.3 ± 9.5 years vs 25.3 ± 5.1 years; P < .05) and more marriage (84.1% vs 72.0%; P < .05). Compare with immigrant workers, Thai women workers had finished secondary school or lower (51.4% vs 36.4%; P < .05), earned more than ฿15 000 per month (38.3% vs 3.7%; P < .05), owned their own house (15.0% vs 0%; P < .05), paid for their own healthcare (23.4% vs 11.2%; P < .05), and used private hospitals for healthcare services (40.2% vs 17.8%; P < .05). Thai workers had significantly better levels of knowledge and attitude (P < .001). However, immigrant workers were found to have better levels of reproductive health behavior (70.1% vs 68.2%), especially in terms of the number of sexual partners, and a good level of pregnancy-related reproductive behavior (97.4% vs 84.3%), particularly in the practice of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months or more.
Conclusions: Thai workers had more knowledge, attitude, and behavior of reproductive health than immigrant workers, despite their better attitude and behavior in terms of the number of sexual partners and the practice of exclusive breastfeeding 6 months or more.
An Analysis Of Birth Intervals In Bangladesh Using Frailty Models
Authors: Islam Hasina 
Published: March 2020

This research dealt with the extension of the Cox's proportional hazards model that allows for heterogeneity among the responses due to random effects of covariates using frailty (random effect) approach. The results of this study showed that the Gaussian frailty model is better for the data than gamma frailty model and the unobserved cluster effect has a sizeable impact on the second birth spacing in Bangladesh. This research also showed the current pattern of the second birth spacing in Bangladesh and different demographic and socio-economic factors which affect the second birth spacing. It was found that mother’s education, survival status of 1st birth, region, place of residence and mother's age of marriage have great influence for the variation of the second birth spacing.

Çalışma bir devlet üniversitesinin Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği Bölümü öğrencilerinin Kahramanmaraş’ın milli tarih içerisindeki rolü ile ilgili görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada genel tarama modeli benimsenmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni, 2019-2020 Eğitim-Öğretim döneminde Eğitim Fakültesi Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği programına kayıtlı toplam 143 öğrencidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini ise evreni temsil ettiği düşünülen ve basit seçkisiz örneklemeye göre belirlenen 94 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yazılı form ile toplanmıştır. Form, iki kısımdan oluşmaktadır. İlk kısımda hem katılımcıların demografik bilgilerini hem de Maraş’ın tarihi rolüne ilişkin bilgilerini belirleyen kısa cevaplı sorular; ikinci kısımda ise onların farkındalıklarını ortaya çıkarmak amaçlı yoruma dayanan uzun cevaplı sorular yer almaktadır. Kısa cevaplı sorular için frekans ve yüzde gibi betimsel istatistikler tercih edilirken yoruma dayalı sorularda soru içeriklerine bağlı kalınarak oluşturulmuş temalara göre analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin %53’ünün Maraş’ın kaç yılında işgal edildiğini, %75’inin Maraş’ın kimler tarafından işgal edildiğini, %57’sinin Maraş’ın işgalinin ne kadar sürdüğünü ‘bilmediği’; %81 oranında öğrencinin ise konuyla ilgili herhangi bir etkinliğe katılmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bulguların tamamı değerlendirildiğinde, öğrencilerin neredeyse yarısının Maraş’ın kurtuluş mücadelesinin milli tarih içerisindeki rolünün önemine ilişkin bilgilerinin yetersiz ve farkındalıklarının zayıf olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Заметки о слове ночь в поэзии Ходасевича
Authors: Corrado-Kazanski Florence 
Published: March 2020

Les recueils poétiques de Vladislav Hodasevič (1886-1939) sont traversés par la dialectique de la lumière et de l’obscurité, riche de connotations mystiques. Concernant le champ lexical de l’obscurité, c’est le mot mrak, d’origine slavonne, évocateur du néant, qui est le plus fréquent. Mais le dernier recueil de Hodasevič, publié en 1927 à Paris, La nuit européenne (Европейская ночь), nous invite à étudier dans ce recueil les occurrences du mot noč’ (nuit), mot du langage courant. « Nuit » désigne une réalité temporelle et spatiale, mais aussi spirituelle et ontologique. Nous verrons que le mot nuit apparaît comme un nom désespéré de la modernité européenne de l’entre-deux-guerres, et qu’il annonce aussi le silence poétique de Hodasevič.
