Adenocarcinoma sinonasal
Authors: Alfonso Morejón Eduardo Arsenio , Acosta Acosta Josué , Baryolo Lenier León 
Published: December 2019

Introducción: En la región sinonasal los adenocarcinomas son infrecuente, ocupan el tercer lugar de las neoplasias con respecto a todas las que se originadas en la nariz y senos paranasales, lo que equivale a un porcentaje que varía del 10% al 20% de estas, con una mortalidad global que corresponde aproximadamente a los 60%, predominando en varones después de la sexta década de la vida teniendo como factores de riesgo la profesión del paciente observándose grandes incidencias en los trabajadores de la madera y del cuero.
Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de Adenocarcinoma sinonasal.
Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico.
Resultados: Se describe un caso poco frecuente que acude por obstrucción nasal de larga evolución, secreción amarillenta y epistaxis ocasionales ya en los últimos meses, todo unilateral por la fosa nasal derecha, después de varios meses de tratamiento por distintos médicos de la comunidad, tratándolo como sinusitis agudas a repetición y posteriormente como pólipos nasales, que es el diagnóstico de referencia a la consulta de otorrinolaringología, donde se estableción el diagnóstico positivo de Adenocarcinoma sinonasal.
Conclusión: En otorrinolaringología las patologías sinonasales representan el 20-40% de los casos. Los tumores de esta localización crecen dentro de los límites óseos de los senos paranasales y pueden cursar asintomáticos, hasta que erosionan e invaden las estructuras vecinas. Los síntomas iniciales coinciden con los causados por enfermedades inflamatorias de estas áreas, por lo cual el diagnóstico puede ser tardío en un elevado porcentaje, comprometiendo la sobrevida. El tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica completa, ya sea abierta o endoscópica, y se recomienda la radioterapia local complementaria, por sus elevados índices de recidiva
Quality of life of children with cerebral palsy living in Kerala, India
Authors: Varghese Anu George , Lucitta S.M. 
Published: December 2019

Background: The present study aimed at capturing the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy living in Kerala using the culturally adapted version of an international tool, CPQOL- child.
Materials and methods: Adopting multistage cluster sampling, data from 252 children was collected by telephonic interview coupled with mail survey. Data was analyzed with the help of IBM SPSS 21.0.
Results: The first and the best output of the study was CPQOL-child (Malayalam), the locally adapted version of an international tool valid for use among children with CP living in Kerala. Child’s means of communication, severity of CP, gross motor function, parental wellbeing and family health were found to be the significant determinants of QOL. Parent stress was found to have a significant effect on parent reported QOL scores of children with cerebral palsy (r=-.574, p<.001). Parent’s perceived level of happiness (β=.40, p<.001), being the most significant predictor of the model of overall QOL of children with CP calls for efforts to ensure parental wellbeing as the most effective way to ensure child’s QOL.
Conclusion: Family health (R2=.498) explained about half of the variability in QOL scores of children with CP living in Kerala calls for immediate tailor made interventions for family centered care.

Published: December 2019

Okur merkezli kuramlardan biri olarak değerlendirilen feminist edebiyat eleştirisi; okur olarak kadına yönelik eleştiri, yazar olarak kadına yönelik eleştiri, psikanalitik ve Marksist eleştiri olmak üzere disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımla kadın sorununa eğilen bir eleştiridir. Feminist edebiyat eleştirisi, ataerkil bir toplumun yansıması olarak toplumdaki ve edebiyattaki hâkim erkek bakış açısını yansıtan değerleri sorgulayarak kadının toplum içindeki yerine ve karşı karşıya olduğu sorunlara dikkat çekmeyi amaçlar. Feminist eleştiri, kadın erkek ilişkilerinde sürekli olarak erkeğin baskın çıkmasını eleştirir. Bu ilişki içerisinde kadının genellikle seçilen ve erkeği tarafından seçilen yaşam biçimine boyun eğen durumunda oluşuna vurgu yapar. Yapılan çalışmalar doğrultusunda kadının birçok yönden ezilmişliği ortaya konur ve bu bilinç oluşturulmaya çalışılır. Feminizm hareketi ile kadınlar iş sahasında, eğitimde, iletişimde, toplum ve aile içinde erkeklerle eşit yasal haklara sahip olmaya başlar. Böylece kadınlar yaşamın her sahasında sesini duyurmayı başarır. Feminist edebiyat eleştirisi ile de zihinlerde yer edinen erkek bakış açılı okuma şeklinin/algısının değişmeye başladığına dikkat çekilir.Çalışmada ilk olarak edebiyat eleştiri yöntemlerinden biri olan “feminist edebiyat eleştirisi” hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve daha sonra Hatice Bilen Buğra’nın Mal Sahibi hikâyesi bu eleştiri yöntemine göre incelenmiştir.

Background: While being obese in mid-life is associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline in late-life, being obese in late-life is shown to be associated with a lower risk of these outcomes in some studies. This phenomenon is known as the “obesity paradox”, but the underlying reasons and potential sex difference have not been well understood. Objective: To investigate the association between cognition and waist circumference (WC), an alternative measure of body fat which can be measured easier than body mass index (BMI), among older adults in each generation of late-life for men and women separately. Methods: Three hundred thirty-five participants were used in the current study who were identified by random sampling of residents aged 65-74, 75-84, and 85 + years in Takashima County, Shiga Prefecture, Japan during 2005-2006. Associations between WC and domain-specific cognitive functions measured by 12 neuropsychological tests were examined using multivariable linear regression models with covariates: age, education, and hypertension. Results: Larger WC was associated with better attention/working memory among 65-74-year old women and with better learning/acquisition among 65-74-year-old men, while larger WC was associated with worse learning/acquisition, memory, attention/working memory, and language/fluency among 75-84-year old men. Conclusion: We found age and sex differences in the association between WC and domain-specific cognitive functions. Among older old men (age 75-84), larger WC had negative effects on various domains including memory, attention, language, and executive functions, while we did not find any negative effects of larger WC on cognition among women in any age groups.

Background: Early detection of cognitive decline allows timely intervention to delay progression of dementia. However, current cognitive evaluation tools often include items delivered via verbal forms of instruction, which can cause poor performance in patients with hearing loss. Objective: To develop and validate a cognitive screening battery, the Reading Cognitive Test Kyoto (ReaCT Kyoto), comprising test items given through non-verbal instruction. Methods: A cross-sectional and multi-center study was conducted in the three medical institutes. ReaCT Kyoto was designed to evaluate domains of “registration,” “repetition,” “delayed recall,” “visuospatial recognition,” “orientation in time and place,” and “executive function.” The Japanese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination Test (MMSE-J) and ReaCT Kyoto were applied by experienced psychotherapists. Concurrent validity was evaluated between the ReaCT Kyoto Test and MMSE-J and between the ReaCT Kyoto Test and physician-diagnosed dementia. Results: ReaCT Kyoto was validated in a sample of 115 participants. The mean age of subjects was 81.0±6.4 years, and the sample comprised 53.0% females. The area under the receiver operating curves was 0.95 for detecting physician-diagnosed dementia. When classifying patients in accordance with presence or absence of hearing loss, the AUCs were 0.93 and 0.97 for those with and without hearing loss, respectively. With a cut-off score of < 29 points for suspected dementia, ReaCT Kyoto correctly classified 90.4% of the subjects as belonging to the group with or without physician-diagnosed dementia. Conclusion: ReaCT Kyoto provides an appropriate solution for detection of cognitive impairment in persons with or without hearing loss.

Published: December 2019

Opracowanie prezentuje istotę szans jako twórczego produktu. Traktuje bowiem postrzeganie i tworzenie szans przez pryzmat kreatywności, która jest jedną z cech tworzących indywidualną charakterystykę działań przedsiębiorcy. Wykorzystane w artykule wyniki badań empirycznych przeprowadzonych w grupie przedsiębiorców zarządzających małymi bądź średnimi przedsiębiorstwami odsłoniły, że poziom kreatywności przedsiębiorców jest w niewielkim stopniu, ale zależny od wielkości przedsiębiorstwa. Przedsiębiorcy zarządzający średnimi przedsiębiorstwami charakteryzują się wyższym poziomem kreatywności. (abstrakt oryginalny)
Bariery etycznego zarządzania w opinii polskich menedżerów i przedsiębiorców
Authors: Tarka Piotr  
Published: December 2019

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja czynników, które w opinii menedżerów i przedsiębiorców utrudniają stosowanie etycznych standardów w zarządzaniu polskimi przedsiębiorstwami. Materiał został zebrany w ramach eksploracyjnych badań jakościowych finansowanych ze środków na naukę w latach 2008–2010. Analizę wykonano na zbiorze 65 wywiadów z menedżerami i przedsiębiorcami. Podstawowe bariery w etycznym zarządzaniu to – w przekonaniu badanych – amoralne przywództwo i niewłaściwe relacje pomiędzy kadrą zarządzającą a strukturami właścicielskimi. Dla menedżerów trzecią przeszkodą jest amoralny typ kultury organizacyjnej, oparty na dążeniu do sukcesu za wszelką cenę, wewnętrznej rywalizacji i przedmiotowym traktowaniu pracowników. Brak formalnych narzędzi zarządzania CSR nie jest wskazywany jako przeszkoda w stosowaniu etycznych standardów. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Morpho-molecular characterization of <i>Ceratobasidium</i> sp.: A mycorrhizal fungi isolated from a rare epiphytic orchid <i>Gastrochilus calceolaris</i> (J. E. Sm.) D. Don
Authors: Hossain Mohammad Musharof 
Published: December 2019

A mycorrhizal fungus, Ceratobasidium sp. GC (NCBI Gene Bank Accession no GQ369961) associated with the roots of an epiphytic orchid Gastrochilus calceolaris was investigated by cultural morphology, microscopic features and molecular analysis of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The colony appearance of the fungal endophyte was fluffy growth pattern and the colour of the young colony was milky white on both surfaces that turned in to brown at maturity on the upper surface and deep brown on reverse surface. The microscopic features of the fungus i.e. hyphal diameter, multi-nucleate vegetative cells, right angle branching pattern with slight constriction at branching point and a dolipore septum near the branching point were observed. All the characters corroborated the identity with anamorphic Rhizoctonia like fungi. The ITS regions sequences of nrDNA and phylogenetic analysis based on the neighbor-joining method showed clustered with Rhizoctonia like fungi, and the maximum identity (98.28%) with Ceratobasidium RR and Ceratobasidium FPUB isolated from Rhynchostylis retusa and Dactylorrhiza hetagera, respectively. Thus, the ITS of nrDNA sequences validated the morphological data. This is the first report of orchid mycorrhizal fungi from Bangladesh.

Published: December 2019

Minor edible fruits are the genetic resource of a country, playing a vital role as food, nutrition and medicine. Bangladesh having both tropical and sub-tropical climatic condition possesses a large number of species that produce minor edible fruits. The present study represents 255 species of minor edible fruit yielding plants of Bangladesh. Of them, 242 species belong to 58 families of Magnoliopsida and 13 species to three families of Liliopsida. The large minor fruit yielding families are Euphorbiaceae (20 spp.), Myrtaceae (18 spp.), Moraceae (15 spp.), Arecaceae (11 spp.), Sapindaceae (11 spp.), Anacardiaceae (10 spp.), Annonacae (10 spp.), Rutaceae (8 spp.), Verbenaceae (8 spp.) and Vitaceae (8 spp.). Three species are aquatic in nature and about 50 species are herbs, including 31 species of climbers or lianas, and 49 are shrubs and the remaining 156 species are trees. About 48 species are cultivated for fruits and the 35 species are both cultivated and wild. The remaining species are exclusively wild. A totalof 53 exotic species are included in the cultivation. In most of the species, pericarp with mesocarp or the whole part of fruit is edible. In few cases either seed or kernel is edible, or in others the non-carpel part of flower. Summer is found as the most and winter as the least suitable fruit yielding seasons in a year.
