Background: Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most neglected public health issues all over the world. Near about 1 billion people round the world suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Most of the countries in Asia having high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.
Objective: To find the vitamin D level among the patients attending in a private chamber in Dhaka city
Methodology: A cross sectional observation study was carried out in a renowned diagnostic center of Dhaka city from July 2017 to June 2018. A sample of 1523 adult patients aged 18 years and above, presented with generalized body aches and pains selected conveniently for the study. Blood samples were taken and serum vitamin D levels were measured. In this study, vitamin D concentration below10 ng/ml was considered as vitamin D deficiency, 20–30 ng/ml as insufficiency, and 30–100 ng/ml as vitamin D sufficient. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 22.
Result: Out of 1523 patients 69.5% were women and 30.5% men. Urban and rural distribution was 63.16% and 36.84% respectively. Among the participants vitamin D deficiency was 54%, 35.8% vitamin D insufficient, and only 9.8% had normal level of vitamin D, regarding age specific deficiency highest 71.8% was in 71-80 years age group. Out of 1058 female 39.5% were vitamin D deficient, 45.6% had insufficient vitamin D level. Only 14.9% female were found normal level. Age specific deficiency found highest 63.8% in 61-70 year age group. On the other hand out of 465 male participants, 24% were vitamin D deficient, 34% were insufficient and 42% had normal level vitamin D. Highest deficiency 42.5% found in age group 61-70years.
Conclusion: Considering the study result deficiency was higher among female than male. In female vitamin D deficiency increased after age of 31year. Vitamin D deficiency found highest in old age and middle age group. Over all age specific deficiency found significantly highest in 71 – 80 years. In both male and female Vitamin D deficiency was found highest above 61years of age.

Swedish Gay Men's Pursuit of Fatherhood
Authors: Malmquist Anna , Spånberg Ekholm Alexander 
Published: February 2020

The aim of the present work is to explore how gay fathers have experienced legal obstacles throughout their process of becoming fathers, and what strategies they have used to cope with the difficulties they have met. The study used semi-structured interviews to capture the fathers’ experiences, and a constructivist grounded theory to analyse the data. Interviews with thirty gay fathers in Sweden were included in the study. The participants had become fathers through surrogacy, shared parenthood with women, or foster care. Legal obstacles had played a prominent role in all three family forms, as well as in adoption – which some participants had unsuccessfully pursued. Obstacles marked both their pursuit of fatherhood and their establishment of legal custody. Some participants had eventually given up their initially preferred path to parenthood and searched for another route. To overcome legal obstacles, the participants had utilised one or more strategies; such as being persistent and well prepared, pretending to be straight, and finding access to assisted reproduction treatment abroad. Regardless of the path to parenthood, the participants stressed the necessity of possessing adequate personal or economic resources to become parents.
Through the Stomach to the Heart

The concept of families of choice was introduced almost three decades ago by Kath Weston (1997). She used it to describe the situation of the LGBTQ community in the era of the HIV/AIDS crisis, when the relations with families of origin had been heavily tested and proved to fail, whereas relations with friends were the primary source of care and support for the sick and dying, as well as their partners. Since then, contemporary non-heterosexual families are understood as their queer descendants and often the term “families of choice” is used synonymously. However, whereas much had been written about the ideologies of queer kinship, the sphere of the daily, ordinary, and often imperceptible practices of kinning, when nothing exceptional is happening (like a disease or family crisis) has still not been sufficiently examined. Therefore, it could be argued that the debate on queer kinship is rather conceptual and abstract with its focus on normativity/antinormativity (Wiegman and Wilson 2015), whereas the sphere of ordinariness and everydayness, where most of the queer kinning actually happens, is being neglected and marginalised in the discussion on queer kinship. In the paper, we explore this unmapped territory of queer kinship studies and specifically take a closer look at the material and everyday dimensions of kinship. To do so, we use the data gathered within the ethnographic research done within the Families of Choice in Poland-study (2013–2016, PI: Joanna Mizielińska). In this project, during thirty days of observation and several thematic interviews, done with twenty-one families, we were able to capture an in-depth picture of how the kinning practices are performed in daily life. In the paper we explore practices of silent intimacy (Jamieson 1998), focusing on food sharing practices among partners, but also between them and their families of origin that not always fully accept and support their relationship. In critical dialogue with Anglo- American scholarship on queer kinship, which built on and extends Weston’s classic work, we want to demonstrate that changing focus from its antinormative centrality towards embracing the ordinariness (Martin 1997) and everydayness of queer kinning, might not only contribute to developing the field, but also help us to understand the complexity of relational lives.

Background
The objective of this case cohort study was to describe our experience in the care of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor–related acute interstitial nephritis (ICI-AIN) including rechallenge.

Methods
A descriptive case series of patients that received an ICI and had an AKI (defined as a ≥1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine) as an immune-related adverse event (irAE), with biopsy-proven or clinically suspected ICI-AIN from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2018 at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. We studied details regarding diagnosis, clinical course, management, and outcomes of rechallenge of immunotherapy. Complete response (CR) was defined as return of kidney function back to baseline or <0.3 mg/dl above baseline creatinine; partial response (PR) was defined as creatinine >0.3 mg/dl from baseline, but less than twofold above the baseline by the end of steroid course.

Results
A total of 14 cases of biopsy-proven (35%) or clinically suspected (65%) ICI-AIN was identified. All patients had their ICI withheld and 12 patients received steroids. Steroid regimens were highly variable. The starting equivalent dose of prednisone was higher in those that had a CR versus a PR (median 0.77 mg/kg versus 0.66 mg/kg). Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were used in 11 patients and were stopped in eight (73%) patients at the time of the AKI event. A CR was seen in five (63%) of the eight patients who discontinued PPIs. Rechallenge was attempted in four of the 14 patients: three were successful with no recurrence of AKI, but one patient had recurrent AKI and fatal pneumonitis.

Conclusions
Careful review, withholding ICI and concomitant known AIN-inducing medications, along with prompt initial steroid management were the key in complete renal kidney recovery. A kidney biopsy should be strongly considered. Rechallenge of immunotherapy after a kidney irAE, although challenging, is possible and would need careful evaluation on an individual basis.

Hemocompatibility of Polysulfone Hemodialyzers – Exploratory Studies on Impact of Treatment Modality and Dialyzer Characteristics
Authors: Wagner Stephan , Zschätzsch Sebastian , Erlenkoetter Ansgar , Rauber Lena , Stauss-Grabo Manuela , Gauly Adelheid 
Published: February 2020

Background
The hemocompatibility of dialyzers for extracorporeal kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is of importance to minimize harmful reactions between blood constituents and the membrane. We investigated in these exploratory studies the hemocompatibility profile of several types of polysulfone dialyzers.

Methods
Hemocompatibility of various high-flux polysulfone dialyzers were compared in two consecutive, prospective, randomized, crossover studies, each including 24 adult patients being at least 3 months on hemodialysis (HD) or on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF). These dialyzers, differing in membrane type, fiber geometry, sterilization method, and production technology, were each applied for 1 week in HD or HDF. Hemocompatibility was assessed through markers of complement activation, cell activation, coagulation, contact activation, and immunologic reactions.

Results
The patients in the two studies were on average 67±11 and 68±11 years old, 75% and 67% were male, and were on KRT for 5.4±5.0 and 4.4±3.6 years. The complement factors C3a and C5a increased early and transiently during treatment, less so with HDF than with HD, and with dialyzers combining wider inner fiber diameter (210 versus 185 µm) and advanced membrane type (Helixone plus versus Helixone). sC5b-9 increased in all study phases, reaching its highest level after 60 minutes, with lower values over the entire treatment (area under the curve) for HDF than HD, and for wider inner fiber diameter and advanced membrane type. Leukocytes decreased in the first 10 minutes, without significant differences between dialyzers. PMN elastase increased in the first hour, more so with HD than HDF. Thrombocytes decreased slightly in the first 30 minutes, with differences only between HDF and HD mode. IL-8 decreased from pre- to postdialysis, particularly on HDF. No differences were observed for kallikrein, IgE, and hsCRP.

Conclusions
In these explorative studies we found indications to a comparable hemocompatibility profile of the investigated dialyzers. We observed distinctions in compounds between HDF and HD and for some dialyzer and membrane characteristics.
DE RELATOS Y EXPERIENCIAS. ELEGIR LA UNIVERSIDAD PARA FORMARSE COMO PROFESOR DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA
Authors: Iglesias Andrea 
Published: February 2020

El presente trabajo se desprende de los resultados de mi tesis doctoral donde abordé la relación entre las trayectorias de formación docente y las estrategias de inserción laboral de los profesores principiantes de escuelas secundarias de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Me propongo analizar aquí específicamente el relato sobre las experiencias en el trayecto formativo pedagógico de un conjunto de entrevistados que cursaron las carreras de Historia, Geografía y Letras en la Universidad. Posicionados desde el paradigma interpretativo y una perspectiva histórico-cultural, analizamos de qué manera el origen bifronte de la formación docente argentina fue dibujando particularidades en el trayecto pedagógico que realizan quienes eligen la Universidad para formarse como profesores de escuela secundaria. Los resultados indican que la formación pedagógica recibida por los universitarios posee serias falencias en los contenidos ligados a la práctica docente, contrariamente a la imagen pública actual que favorece a esta institución en desmedro de los Institutos Superiores de Formación Docente. Asimismo, los entrevistados valoran la formación académica y disciplinar recibida. Finalmente, sus relatos muestran la dificultad de las Universidades para auto-identificarse como formadoras de docentes para la escuela secundaria, así como la falta de acompañamiento por parte de los formadores en el espacio de las prácticas.

Objective. To study the effect of mycorrhizal preparation "Rizomax" on the basis of an endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus sp. on the growth and development of the root system of the grape plant.Methods. The studies were conducted from 2016 to 2018. The influence and aftereffect of mycorrhizal drug on the root system and growth of the grape bush were studied in the Eastern viticultural district of the South Coast zone of the Crimea. The studies were carried out according to the generally accepted methods used in viticulture.Results. The advantage of introducing mycorrhizal preparation when planting in the zone of the root system is established, in this regard, more intensive growth and root formation occurs, as well as the growth and development of the grape bush improves. The influence of the aftereffect of the studied preparation on grape plants is estimated, it is established that in experimental variants the development of plants occurs more intensively. Due to symbiosis, the grape plant more effectively uses moisture and nutrients accumulated in the mycelium, which is reflected in the improvement of phytometric indicators and high aging of the vine.Conclusions. When conducting studies in 2017-2018, to study the aftereffect of the mycorrhizal preparaion "Rizomax", in the experimental version, a stable excess of growth processes by 38.3% 43.8% and the leaf surface of the bush by 34.5% 41.7% over the control version was established. The ratio of different fractions of roots in the experimental version compared to the control is more favorable. The fouling part of the root system is 2.53 m according to the measurements of the roots, you can see how much soil the roots of the grape bush covered, that is, in the experimental version, the absorption capacity is higher. Well-developed root system and leaf surface provide further, high productivity of grape bushes. Therefore, for good plant nutrition, it is important to maintain a correlation between the root system and the leaf surface.
EKSISTENSI PERKEBUNAN TEBU RAKYAT SEBAGAI SUMBER PENDAPATAN PETANI
Authors: Sumarno Wawan , Fikriman Fikriman 
Published: February 2020

Tebu dan gula yang awal mulanya menjadi primadona dan komoditi unggulan di Desa Sungai Asam khususnya dan Kecamatan Kayu Aro Barat umumnya, dewasa ini mengalami penurunan luas lahan dan produksi dari tahun ketahun, bahkan ada salah satu Desa yang mengkonversi total areal perkebunan tebu rakyat menjadi perkebunan hortikultura. Sehingga hal ini menyebabkan perubahan mata pencarian dan social ekonomi petani di Kecamatan Kayu Aro dan Kayu Aro Barat khususnya di Desa Sungai Asam.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui Bagaimana eksistensi perkebunan tebudi Desa Sungai Asam sebagai sumber pendapatan petani. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Sungai Asam Kecamatan Kayu Aro Barat Kabupaten Kerinci. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian eksistensi perkebunan tebu di desa sungai asam masih bertahan hingga sekarang karena tanaman tebu sudah menjadi kebiasaan dan menjadi tanaman turun menurun masyarakat Desa Sungai Asam dan juga menjadi bagian dari kehidupan petani, selain itu masih tersedianya tenaga kerja yang berkompenten sehingga tanaman tebu dan gula merah tebu masih eksis hingga sekarang, luas lahan dan kepemilikan lahan merupakan faktor yang yang sangat kuat mempengaruhi eksistensi perkebunan tebu, karena mayoritas petani memiliki luas lahan yang cukup dan kepemilikan lahan juga milik sendiri, sehingga tidak ada intervensi untuk beralih pada tanaman lain.Kata Kunci : Perkebunan Tebu Rakyat ABSTRACTSugar cane and sugar were initially superior and leading commodities in Sungai Asam Village in particular and Kayu Aro Barat District in general, Nowadays there is a decrease in land area and production from year to year, there is even one village that converts the total area of people's sugar cane plantations into horticultural plantations. So this causes changes in farmers' livelihoods and socio-economic conditions in Kayu Aro and Kayu Aro Barat Districts, especially in Sungai Asam Village. The formulation of the problem from this research is: How is the existence of sugar cane plantations in Sungai Asam Village as a source of income for farmers. This research uses the case study method and interviews with key informants he results of the research into the existence of sugar cane plantations in Asam river village still survive up to now because sugar cane plants have become a habit and become a crop down and down the acid river village community and also become part of the lives of farmers Sungai Asam village and also a part of the life of farmers, besides that there is still a workforce that is competent so that sugar cane and brown sugar cane plants still exist until now, land area and land ownership are factors that are very strongly affecting the existence of sugar cane plantations, because the majority of farmers has sufficient land area and land ownership is also their own, so there is no intervention to switch to other plants Keywords :Sugar Cane Plantation
Arte y política: la perspectiva –latinoamericana– de los estudios visuales
Authors: Yepes Rubén Darío 
Published: February 2020

Este artículo aborda la contribución de los estudios visuales al estudio de la relación entre arte y política en América Latina, tema que ha recibido poca atención en la literatura académica. En un primer momento, se argumenta que los estudios visuales replantean el estudio de la dimensión política de las artes visuales, en virtud de tres desplazamientos epistémicos: 1) de los objetos a las prácticas visuales; 2) de la primacía de la estética a la primacía de lo social; 3) del estudio de lo político a la intervención política. En un segundo momento, se demuestra que estos desplazamientos no colocan a los estudios visuales en conflicto con la historia del arte latinoamericana, sino que les permiten darle continuidad por otros medios a los proyectos críticos de la historia y la crítica de arte, particularmente aquellos que tienen que ver con las dinámicas y condiciones sociopolíticas de nuestro hemisferio. Se concluye que estos “otros medios” no son otra cosa que las herramientas teóricas y conceptuales del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano.
El Cabaret Político Mexicano y el poder: una lectura gramsciana
Authors: Alzate Gastón 
Published: February 2020

Este ensayo analiza el contexto histórico en el que a finales en la década de los ochenta una generación de artistas creó un género multidisciplinario en el que se mezclaron el performance, la música, el teatro y la poesía, al que desde esa época se ha llamado “Cabaret Político” o “farsa mexicana”. También crearon espacios para teatrales libres de la censura oficial y del constreñimiento de la dramaturgia actoral, de la supremacía del texto y de la voluntad del director. El artículo demuestra cómo el teatro mexicano devino un campo de batalla de diferentes líneas de fuerzas y antagonismos de poder. Asume el cabaret político, como un imaginario contra simbólico a la mexicanidad oficial que tuvo dos etapas. Una primera contra hegemónica (finales de los setenta a 1990), que es la que estudia el ensayo, y una segunda de hegemonía alternativa (1990 en adelante), segunda parte de esta investigación.
PENGEMBANGAN JIWA KEWIRAUSAHAAN BAGI IBU RUMAH TANGGA DI DESA ALASMALANG DENGAN MEMANFAATKAN REBUNG SEBAGAI BAHAN ANEKA OLAHAN KUE
Authors: Fauzi Hasan Muchtar 
Published: February 2020

Rebung atau tunas muda bambu sudah lama dikenal masyarakat sebagai bahan makanan, antara lain dibuat aneka sayur, kripik, kue, serta makanan lainnya. Selain rasanya lezat, rebung kaya serat dan nutrisi. Rebung mengandung protein, karbohidrat, lemak, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C serta mineral seperti kalsium,fosfor, besi, dan kalium (Qiu, 1992; Shi,1992). Rebung juga berkhasiat obat karena dengan kadar kalium sebesar 553 mg per 100 gram rebung dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol dalam darah (Senior,2007). Meskipun banyak kandungan manfaat dari rebung, sampai saat ini masih sedikit masyarakat yang mengetahui dan mengkonsumsinya. Para ibu rumah tangga di Desa Alasmalang sudah mendapatkan pelatihan dengan memafaatkan tanaman rebung di eksplorasi manjadi barbagai macam kripik olahan. Oleh karena itu langkah selanjutnya dalam rangka pengembangan kreatifitas ibu rumah tangga guna memanfatkan tanaman tersebut, perlu di adakan rencana untuk memberikan pelatihan pembuatan aneka kue olahan dari bambu/rebung dengan harapan, setelah mengikuti pelatihan pembuatan kue berbahan rebung para ibu rumah tangga bisa mendapatkan penghasilan yang lebih meningkat lagi, dalam berwirausaha atau membuat kelompok kerja dan berkembang menjadi home industry dan pusat oleh-oleh khas daerah.
