The Association between Vitamin D Deficiency and Chronic Tonsillitis in Children: an Evidence Based Case Report
Authors: Pramesti Ardian Sandhi , Gabriella Nurahmani Putri  , Steffi Sonia  
Published: May 2021

Background: vitamin D has an important influence on the host’s immune system by modulating both innate and adaptive immunity and regulating the inflammatory cascade. Vitamin D deficiency may be related with reduced immunomodulation, specifically in preventing the occurrence of chronic tonsillitis.
Objective: to identify the association between vitamin D deficiency with chronic tonsillitis in pediatric patients.
Methods: the search was conducted with advanced searching on PubMed® and Cochrane® according to the clinical question. The screening of title and abstract using inclusion and exclusion criteria, double filter, and reading full text led to six useful articles. The selected studies were critically appraised for validity, importance, and applicability.
Results: three original articles were eligible for this evidence-based case report. All studies were considered to have good validity. All three studies reported an increased risk of chronic tonsillitis with the vitamin D deficiency and/or insufficiency.
Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with the increased risk of chronic or recurrent tonsillitis in children.
Del “calentamiento global” al “cambio climático”: Encubrimientos y desencubrimientos ético-políticos
Authors: Palacio Marta Inés , Buteler María José 
Published: May 2021

Este trabajo se posiciona en el paradigma interdisciplinario de las humanidades ambientales desde el que problematiza críticamente el concepto de “cambio climático” con que el discurso social designa a los fenómenos ambientales extremos experimentados en las últimas décadas por el “calentamiento global” de la Tierra. A partir del método crítico-hermenéutico se pone al descubierto los núcleos conceptuales de la construcción argumentativa de los ideologemas enmascarados tras ciertas expresiones lingüísticas, con la intención de neutralizar, minimizar o eliminar la responsabilidad ética y política sobre los desequilibrios ambientales. El texto se posiciona en la crítica humanista ambientalista, que recupera el valor de las emociones y afectos en la génesis de nuestras ideas y conocimiento, así como ciertas tesis del neomaterialismo sobre la agencia de la materia y su capacidad de autorregulación. A partir de tomar como eje el concepto de “antropoceno”, el artículo cuestiona los binarismos humano/no-humano, materia/espíritu, naturaleza/cultura, y postula lo natural dentro de la historia humana o geohistoria.
El texto profundiza la función crítica y creativa, asumida por la literatura de clima ficción, que a través de la narrativa presenta los riesgos ambientales causados por la acción humana con el fin de sacudir el aletargamiento de la conciencia frente a la crisis climática. Los relatos climáticos ficcionales son cercanos al propio presente, provocando identificaciones afectivas con las situaciones narradas y reacciones emocionales. Promueven una conciencia crítica sobre los modos antrópicos destructivos sobre el ambiente, al mismo tiempo que impulsan la toma de decisiones éticas y políticas para cambiarlos.
Teaching Rivers. Environmental Learning mit dem Gedicht Dart von Alice Oswald im Fremdsprachlichen Englischunterricht
Authors: Jung Stefanie 
Published: May 2021

Seit einigen Jahren wandelt sich der Umgang mit den sog. Umweltthemen im fremdsprachlichen Englischunterricht, und zwar seitdem sie als gesamtgesellschaftlich relevant begriffen werden. Jedoch werden Umweltthemen häufig nur auf sprachlicher Ebene betrachtet, was häufig zu Frust bei Schüler*innen führt. Zudem sind sie meist verbunden mit moralischem Vorwurf und sozialer Erwünschtheit bzw. knüpfen sie kaum an die eigenen Erfahrungen an. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass zunehmend das Potenzial für einen inter-/transkulturellen Fremdsprachenunterricht erkannt wird.
Aber auch diese Entwicklungen zeigen, dass Umwelt nach wie vor als Objekt und Untersuchungsgegenstand betrachtet wird. Dabei wird ein traditioneller Zugang zu Natur und Umwelt sichtbar, der sich (mindestens) seit der Aufklärung zurückverfolgen lässt: Umwelt wird nicht als etwas begriffen, dessen Teil wir sind, sondern als Objekt, von dem wir getrennt sind und das man (objektiv) untersuchen, schützen (oder ausbeuten) kann. Als Ergänzung zu Nachhaltigkeitsthemen und (de)konstruktivistischen Untersuchungsformen von Natur im interkulturellen Kontext, sollten Schüler*innen die Möglichkeiten bekommen, einen Zugang zu dieser „Welt da draußen“ zu erfahren. In dem vorliegenden Artikel wird eine partizipatorische Ebene für das Arbeiten mit Umweltthemen im Englischunterricht entwickelt. Zentral dabei ist der Gedanke eines reading with the world. Ansätze aus dem Forschungsbereich Material Ecocriticism, aus der Phänomenologie und der Anthropologie geben Impulse für eine ecocritical practice, da sie, wenn auch aus völlig unterschiedlicher Perspektive, eine Subjekt-Objekt-Trennung aufbrechen.
Zentraler Bestandteil einer partizipatorischen Ebene ist die Arbeit mit Poesie, die alternative Sprechweisen und Bildneuheiten eröffnen kann. Denn durch Poesie können Grenzen und Kategorien neu verhandelt werden. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Arbeit mit dem Langgedicht Dart von Alice Oswald. Hier fokussiert sich Oswald auf die wechselseitige Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Fluss. Das Gedicht ermöglicht einen alternativen Blick auf einen Fluss. Um diesen Zugang zu ermöglichen, wird eine rationale Textanalyse nicht ausreichen. Die partizipatorische Ebene strebt ein ganzheitliches Arbeiten auf kognitiver, emotionaler und sensomotorischer Ebene an
Synthesizing the effects of mental simulation on behavior change: Systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis
Authors: Cole Scott N. , Smith Debbie M. , Ragan Kathryn , Suurmond Robert , Armitage Christopher J. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractMental simulation of future scenarios is hypothesized to affect future behavior, but a large and inconsistent literature means it is unclear whether, and under what conditions, mental simulation can change people’s behavior. A meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the effects of mental simulation on behavior and examine under what conditions mental simulation works best. An inclusive systematic database search identified 123 (N= 5,685) effect sizes comparing mental simulation to a control group. After applying a multilevel random effects model, a statistically-reliable positive effect of Hedges’g= 0.49, 95% CI [0.37; 0.62] was found, which was significantly different than zero. Using a taxonomy to identify different subtypes of mental simulation (along two dimensions, class [process, performance, outcome] and purpose [whether an inferior, standard, superior version of that behavior is simulated]), it was found that superior simulations garnered more reliable beneficial effects than inferior simulations. These findings have implications for integrating theories of how mental simulations change behavior, how mental simulations are classified, and may help guide professionals seeking evidence-based and cost-effective methods of changing behavior.

Published: May 2021

COVID-19 pandemic and the associated redeployment of healthcare infrastructure had a significant impact on normal services. Amongst a cohort with severe asthma children and young persons, attending a regional service, this questionnaire explored the impact of the pandemic and associated lockdown on emotional well-being.
Our findings suggest that there were significant anxieties associated with the ability to access primary and secondary care services, medication during the pandemic – lockdown, as well as the psychological impact of social distancing and missing school work for this cohort. There was a common perception that this had adversely impacted their asthma control, although this was not clinically correlated.
Our results indicate the need for health care providers to be aware of the psychological impact on the emotional wellbeing of the pandemic and offer appropriate help and counselling as needed. A correlation with deteriorating asthma control may need to be explored.
Primordial Giant Planet Obliquity Driven by a Circumplanetary Disk
Authors: Martin Rebecca G. , Armitage Philip J. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Detached circumplanetary disks are unstable to tilting as a result of the stellar tidal potential. We examine how a tilted circumplanetary disk affects the evolution of the spin axis of an oblate planet. The disk is evolved using time-dependent equations for linear wave-like warp evolution, including terms representing the effect of the tidal potential and planetary oblateness. For a disk with a sufficiently large mass, we find that the planet spin quickly aligns to the misaligned disk. The tilt of the planetary spin axis then increases on the same timescale as the disk. This can be an efficient mechanism for generating primordial obliquity in giant planets. We suggest that directly imaged exoplanets at large orbital radii, where the disk mass criterion is more likely to be satisfied, could have significant obliquities due to the tilt instability of their circumplanetary disks.
The prevalence of enteroviral RNA and protein in mitral valves of chronic rheumatic heart disease

Published: May 2021

Introduction: Acute Rheumatic Fever/ Rheumatic Heart Disease (ARF/RHD), a sequel of group A streptococcal (GAS) infection, even today constitutes a public health issue in developing countries including India. Differences in the prevalence of ARF/RHD in countries with a similar prevalence of GAS infections indicate the role of other cofactors in pathogenesis of RHD.
Methodology: We investigated the prevalence of enterovirus (EV) in RHD by probing for both EV RNA and VP1 protein using Nonisotopic In Situ Hybridization (NISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) respectively in 75 valvectomy specimens obtained from RHD cases.
Results: Twenty-eight (37%) of the valves showed tissue inflammation with lymphocytic infiltration in a majority of the cases. Twenty-six and 27 (38% and 40%) of the 68 valves showed the presence of EV by IHC and NISH respectively, indicating a very good association between the two tests; however, only about 46 to 48% of them exhibited tissue inflammation. In eight cases (12%) the EV genome was detectable in absence of VP1 protein perhaps indicating a latent viral infection.
Conclusions: Due to a high degree of endemicity of EV in India, we are tempted to speculate that EV may be responsible for the severity and rapid progression of RHD. The virus could either be working synergistically with GAS or could be an opportunist infecting damaged valves.

Introduction: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) have emerged as a substantial cause of morbi-mortality worldwide, with a prevalence of approximately 5% in areas with high endemicity. However, available data may not be representative of developing countries, such as Ecuador. In this study, the incidence of CPE in Ecuador and risk factors for infection/colonisation were evaluated.
Methodology: A prospective cohort study was performed from February to April 2016 in seven intensive-care units of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Samples were processed according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory protocol and the CHROMagar mSuper CARBA agar method. Resistance to carbapenems was defined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute breakpoints. A modified carbapenemase inactivation method was used to identify carbapenamase production phenotypically with molecular confirmation by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
Results: In total, 640 patients were enrolled. The incidence of CPE was 36.4% (N = 233). A multivariate analysis indicated that several factors were associated with CPE acquisition, included a long intensive care unit stay (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.03–1.08; p < 0.01), tracheostomy (OR 3.52; 95% CI 1.90–6.75; p < 0.01), hospitalisation 3 months prior to admission (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.17–3.71; p < 0.01), vancomycin use (OR 3.31; 95% CI 2.02–5.18; p < 0.01), and macrolide use (OR 3.31; 95% CI 1.43–7.76; p < 0.01).
Conclusions: Macrolide use was a risk factor for CPE acquisition. This association should be evaluated further, especially in developing countries.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: Typhoid fever remains a problem in developing countries, including Pakistan. The emergence of multidrug-resistant and, since 2016, of extensively drug-resistant cases is a continuous challenge for health care workers. The COVID-19 pandemic is making management more difficult.
Methodology: In the present study, a total of 52 confirmed cases of typhoid have been studied during 2019. Detailed clinical features, complications and, lab findings were studied. Typhoid culture and sensitivity were recorded and patients were treated accordingly. Patients were asked about risk factors to aim at informing prevention.
Results: Out of the 52 having blood culture positive for Salmonella Typhi 47 (90.4%) and Salmonella Paratyphi 5 (9.6%), 4 (7.7%) were sensitive to first-line (Non-resistant), 11 (21.2%) MDR and 37 (71.2%) patient were XDR. One case was resistant to azithromycin. Nausea, vomiting or, abdominal pain was present in 12 (23%), abdominal distension present in 9 (17.3%), abdominal tenderness in 8 (15.4%), hepatomegaly in 10 (19.2%) and, splenomegaly in 22 (42.3%).There were ultrasound abnormalities in 58% of patients and GI complications in 19% of patients. No significant difference was found in clinical findings and complications between resistant and non–resistant cases. Only 23-27% of patients were aware of typhoid prevention and vaccination measures.
Conclusions: The increasing prevalence of resistance and higher degree of complications seen in typhoid fever raises the concern further about prevention and effective infection management in the community as well as clinical settings. Moreover, judicial use of antibiotics is much needed in developing countries like Pakistan.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: The role of antibiotics in the treatment in COVID-19 cases has not yet been adequately defined, and no criteria have been established for antibiotic treatment, type and duration.
Methodology: This paper reports the results of an observational study on the extent of antibiotic use in 52 randomly selected patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at the University Hospital in Pristina, Kosovo with severe forms of COVID-19.
Results: Antibiotics were prescribed in all the cases (52; 100%). Of the 52 patients, 1) 13 (25%) were given antibiotics before hospitalisation, 2) 49 (94.2%) during treatment in the ward and 3) 52 (100%) during treatment in the ICU. Most often, empirical antibiotics were administered in 32 cases (61.5%) to treat methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, and in 23 patients (44.2%) to treat atypical pathogens. The most prescribed antibiotics were ceftriaxone/cefotaxime plus macrolide in (17 cases; 32.7%), ceftriaxone/cefotaxime in (15 cases; 28.8%), ampicillin/amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid or sulbactam (five cases; 9.6%), and quinolones (five cases; 9.6%). Imipenem was the most frequently used antibiotic in the ICU (30 cases; 57.7%), followed by ceftriaxone (28 cases; 53.8%), and piperacillin/tazobactam and fluoroquinolone (17 cases; 32.7%). In 18 cases (34.6%), three antibiotics were given simultaneously; two antibiotics in 29 cases (55.8%) and in five cases (9.6%) only one antibiotic was given. The mean duration of antibiotic treatment was 12.71 days (3-22 days; SD 4.026).
Conclusions: The study showed unrestricted use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in the treatment of severe cases with COVID-19.
La Société artistique des amateurs (1896-1914) : le grand monde au travail
Authors: Viraben Hadrien 
Published: May 2021

Si la seconde moitié du xix e siècle vit s’établir un mode de professionnalisation subjectif de l’artiste, il en alla de même pour son antagoniste, l’amateur. Dans ce contexte, la Société artistique des amateurs, fondée en 1896, fournit l’exemple rare d’un échantillon d’amateurs autodéclarés, susceptible d’être analysé de manière qualitative et quantitative. Non contents de se qualifier en tant qu’amateurs, les membres de cette société entreprirent également de définir cette identité, en combinant l’héritage d’une figure historique du xviii e siècle et le sens nouveau de non-professionnel. Loin d’assumer un statut indépendant vis-à-vis des règles de l’art, l’association permit à un microcosme d’aristocrates dilettantes de s’inscrire au sein du monde de l’art parisien, en se réservant une place à part entière. Elle offrit aussi au grand monde les moyens de justifier son mérite et sa productivité parmi les professionnels de la III e République.
Very Simple and Inexpensive System for Distance Learning with the Use of Chalkboard
Authors: Ciofi Carmine , Scandurra Graziella 
Published: May 2021

Using technology in Covid-19 time's classroom is a given. Many teachers, how-ever, prefer to use chalkboards both because they have difficulty adapting to new methods and because they believe teaching with a chalkboard is more effective. Writing with chalk on a blackboard makes it easier to control the pace of a lecture because it induces to talk while writing, thus giving to the students the time to as-similate new information and to take notes properly.
To make it possible for teachers to continue lecturing with this method but in dis-tance learning mode, as required by the anti-Covid-19 provisions, an easy and in-expensive automatic shooting system has been developed, that can be used by schools and universities with minimum effort. To take advantage of the devel-oped software, it is sufficient to have a smartphone (or a webcam) and a PC, without the need for other expensive hardware. The method has been experiment-ed and found to be very effective in our department with a number of colleagues completely relying on it to deliver classes.
