Authors: Morales Rojas Eli , Díaz Ortiz Edwin Adolfo , Garcia Ligia , Milla Pino Manuel Emilio 
Published: September 2021

El análisis de registros de precipitación permite determinar patrones de cambio actuales y retrospectivos, que usados adecuadamente determinarán el potencial de agua de lluvia. El objetivo de la investigación fue pronosticar las precipitaciones mensuales, para la evaluación de instalación de sistemas de captación de agua de lluvia en comunidades nativas de Perú. Se evaluó el comportamiento de las precipitaciones durante los años 2016-2020 con datos del SENAMHI y se determinó los pronósticos de precipitación para el año 2021 y 2022. Se utilizó el modelo aditivo de Holt-Winters para el cálculo de las predicciones. La precipitación promedio durante los 5 años evaluados fue 1 786.24 (mm). El área promedio del techo de las viviendas fue de 47.5 m2, la cantidad de captación de agua fue de 76 361.76 litros anuales/vivienda. Las estimaciones de los pronósticos son constantes, el modelo de tendencia cuadrática arrojó que, para el año 2021 la precipitación se estima en 2 038,804 (mm) y para el año 2022 se estiman 2 217.338 (mm).
Borderline Serous Papillary Tumor Arising in a Paraovarian Cyst: A Case Report and an Extensive Review of the Literature
Authors: Haykal Tony , Fleifel Siham , Jallad Karl , Safadi Bassem 
Published: September 2021

Background: Paraovarian cysts are benign cysts that develop near the ovaries and fallopian tubes in the pelvic region. They can cause mass effects requiring excision. In rare cases, tumors may develop inside these cysts. These tumors may be benign, malignant, or borderline.
Case Report: A 26-year-old lady presented for excision of a paraovarian cyst. Pre-operative imaging showed the presence of few undulating folds at the periphery of the cyst. The patient underwent laparoscopic pelvic cystectomy without intra-operative drainage. Pathological examination of the specimen revealed a borderline serous papillary tumor protruding from the cyst wall.
Conclusion: The occurrence of a borderline tumor, also known as a tumor of low malignant potential, in a pre-existing paraovarian cyst is very rare and has only been reported few times in the literature. A thorough review of these cases showed that the most common imaging finding that raises suspicion for a borderline tumor within a paraovarian cyst is the presence of small intracystic projections within the unilocular adnexal cyst. However, since evaluating the presence of an intracystic tumor is not always possible, performing a fertility-preserving laparoscopic cystectomy without cyst content spillage, is recommended. If properly excised, the prognosis of this tumor is good, and recurrence is rare.

Published: September 2021

Background:
Measurement error might lead to biased estimates, causing ineffective interventions and service delivery. Identifying measurement error of health-related instruments helps develop accurate assessment of health-related constructs.

Objective:
We compared the internal consistency of eight psychological scales used in health research in groups with adequate versus limited health literacy and in groups with higher versus lower education.

Methods:

Participants (
N
= 1,005) from a nationally representative internet panel completed eight self-report scales: (1) information avoidance, (2) cognitive causation, (3) unpredictability, (4) perceived severity, (5) time orientation, (6) internal health locus of control, (7) need for cognition, and (8) social desirability. The first four assess beliefs about diabetes and colon cancer. We used the Newest Vital Sign to categorize participants' health literacy (limited vs. adequate). We also categorized participants' education (high school or less vs. more than high school). We compared the Cronbach's alpha for each psychological scale between groups with different health literacy and education levels using the Feldt test.

Key Results:
Among all the 13 subscales, scale internal consistency was significantly lower among people with limited health literacy than those with adequate health literacy for five subscales: information avoidance for colon cancer (0.80 vs. 0.88), unpredictability of diabetes (0.84 vs. 0.88), perceived severity for diabetes (0.66 vs. 0.75), need for cognition (0.63 vs. 0.82), and social desirability (0.52 vs. 0.68). Internal consistency was significantly lower among people who had a high school education or less than among those with more than a high school education for four scales: perceived severity of diabetes (0.70 vs. 0.75), present orientation (0.60 vs. 0.66), need for cognition (0.73 vs. 0.80), and social desirability (0.61 vs. 0.70).

Conclusions:

Several psychological instruments demonstrated significantly lower internal consistency when used in a sample with limited health literacy or education. To advance health disparities research, we need to develop new scales with alternative conceptualizations of the constructs to produce a measure that is reliable among multiple populations.

Plain Language Summary:
We compared the internal consistency of several psychological scales in groups with adequate versus limited health literacy and higher versus lower education. For several scales, internal consistency was significantly lower among (1) people with limited health literacy compared those who have adequate health literacy and/or (2) people who had a high school education or less compared to those with more than a high school education.
Teach-Back in Interpreter-Mediated Consultations: Reflections from a Case Study
Authors: Riggs Elisha , Brown Stephanie , Szwarc Josef , Nesvadba Natalija , Yelland Jane 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Women with a refugee background and their families who have settled in a new country can be expected to have low health literacy, and this may be a contributing factor to poor perinatal outcomes.

Brief description of activity:
Effective communication is critical for meaningful engagement with patients. Teach-Back is an interactive tool that can assist health professionals confirm whether they are communicating effectively so they are understood and their patients can apply health information. However, evidence for its effectiveness in interpreter-mediated appointments is lacking.

Implementation:
An antenatal clinic caring for women with a refugee background provided an opportunity to explore the benefits and challenges of using Teach-Back with this population. Staff had access to informal on-site training on health literacy and Teach-Back, tried using Teach-Back in their clinical work, and were then asked to provide feedback on what it was like using Teach-Back.

Results:
This case study identified several challenges when applying Teach-Back in interpreter-mediated antenatal health care appointments associated with differing cultural nuances and cultural practices.

Lessons learned:

Building interpersonal and cross-cultural communication capabilities among health professionals is essential in advancing health literacy workforce practice to improve the health literacy of non-English speaking refugee communities. Although Teach-Back may have the potential to be a powerful tool in promoting the health literacy of these women during pregnancy, further research is required to ensure that its use promotes safe and equitable health care.

Plain Language Summary:
This article reports a case study of using Teach-Back in pregnancy appointments involving a midwife and an interpreter. Several challenges for using Teach-Back were identified due to differences in cross-cultural communication. Supporting clinicians and interpreters to work together to implement Teach-Back is required to improve cross-cultural communication and women's health literacy.
Kossi Efoui, Dieudonné Niangouna et Bill Kouélany : la figure du trickster au cœur du geste d’écriture et de sa traduction scénique
Authors: Chavelet Diane 
Published: September 2021

Le mythe du Trickster a alimenté depuis 1958, avec l’ouvrage de Jung, Radin et Kérényi qui référençaient un « fripon divin » dans la littérature orale amérindienne, une histoire critique qui dépasse l’anthropologie, et a intéressé les études littéraires postcoloniales et la philosophie politique avant d’être pensé dans une approche globale de l’histoire de l’art. Dans le champ des arts dramatiques africains, la figure du trickster, expression d’un imaginaire mythique de la subversion et de la résistance politique, s’impose dans la relecture des postindépendances et la pensée de l’hybridation identitaire. Nous proposons de revisiter le personnage mythique au travers des productions textuelles et scéniques de trois dramaturges représentatifs de la génération des « enfants terribles » ciblée par Sylvie Chalaye : Kossi Efoui (Togo), Dieudonné Niangouna (Congo-Brazzaville), Bill Kouélany (Congo-Brazzaville).

Published: September 2021

Long term treatment with ticagrelor 60 mg and low-dose aspirin are indicated after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We retrospectively reviewed aggregate data of 187 patients (155 M and 38 F) (mean age 63.8±9 years) in follow up after ACS with at least one high risk condition (Multivessel disease, diabetes, GFR<60 mL/min, history of prior myocardial infarction, age >65 years) treated with ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily (after 90 mg twice daily for 12 months). The results were compared with findings (characteristics of the patients at baseline, outcomes, bleeding) of PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial and Eu Label. The highrisk groups were represented as follows: multivessel disease 105 pts (82%), diabetes 63 pts (33%), GFR< 60 mL/min 27 pts (14%), history of prior MI 33 pts (17%), >65 year aged 85 pts (45%). Treatment was withdrawn in 7 patients: 3 cases showed atrial fibrillation and were placed on oral anticoagulant drugs, one developed intracranial bleeding, in three patients a temporary withdrawal was due to surgery (1 colon polyposis and 2 cases of bladder papilloma). Chest pain without myocardial infarction occurred in 16 patients (revascularization was required in 9 patients). Dyspnea was present in 15 patients, but was not a cause for discontinuation of therapy. Long term treatment with ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg/day showed a favourable benefit/risk profile after ACS. In this study all patients had been given ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily for 12 months and the 60 mg twice daily dosage was started immediately thereafter, unlike PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial in which it was prescribed within a period ranging from 1 day to 1 year after discontinuation of the 90 mg dose. This makes our results more consistent with current clinical practice. However, a careful outpatient follow-up and constant counseling are mandatory to check out compliance to therapy and adverse side effects.

Published: September 2021

La educación ha sido, desde siempre, primordial para el avance de la humanidad, pues constituye un pilar fundamental en el que se sustenta el desarrollo de los seres humanos y que se orienta a cambiar y transformar el mundo y afrontar los constantes retos que éste presenta. En la coyuntura actual, los agentes educativos se han visto obligados a utilizar nuevas formas de desarrollar adecuadamente el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, de manera remota. Ante ello, surge la necesidad de usar estrategias pedagógicas innovadoras, las mismas que deben adaptarse a una nueva modalidad de estudios. Una de estas estrategias didácticas innovadoras, conocida como Flipped Classroom, favorece el autoaprendizaje a través de vídeos y materiales elaborados por el docente, evidenciándose el contenido debidamente estructurado, de tal modo que logre disipar las posibles dudas del estudiante y le sirva para la construcción significativa de sus saberes y la clara comprensión de los contenidos de la asignatura, los mismos que, luego, en el momento sincrónico de la sesión, sustentan la parte práctica de la clase, trabajando colaborativamente con sus compañeros, aportando sus ideas para la concretización del aprendizaje y posibilitando la acción retroalimentadora necesaria por parte del docente. Dicha práctica, consecuentemente, pretende fortalecer el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes. El presente artículo desarrolla aspectos teóricos sobre la estrategia de innovación pedagógica de aula invertida para potencializar el pensamiento crítico en un contexto de educación virtual.

Published: September 2021

Latar Belakang dan Tujuan. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) merupakan pembesaran jinak kelenjar prostat akibat proliferasi sel epitel dan stroma sehingga menimbulkan gejala Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). Salah satu penanganan BPH adalah terapi medikamentosa dengan alpha-1 blocker. Keberhasilan terapi medikamentosa dipengaruhi banyak faktor salah satunya adalah Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion (IPP).
Metode. Penelitian prospektif komparatif yang bertujuan untuk mencari pengaruh IPP terhadap respon terapi alpha-1-blocker pada pasien BPH. IPSS dipakai sebagai alat ukur tersebut. IPP diperiksa dengan menggunakan USG transabdominal. Penelitian dilakukan dari Juli 2020 sampai Desember 2020. Data dianalisis dengan uji perbandingan rata-rata one way anova dan uji korelasi Pearson.
Hasil. Dari sampel 30 orang, pasien dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok berdasarkan derajat IPP yaitu, derajat I (<5mm), derajat II (5-10mm) dan derajat III (>10mm). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna skor rata-rata IPSS awal pada masing – masing kelompok, yaitu 19.6, 18.90, dan 21,30 (p=0.216). Terdapat penurunan bermakna rata-rata IPSS setalah 1 bulan terapi dengan alpha-1 blocker. Terdapat korelasi yang bermakna nilai IPP terhadap penurunan IPSS akhir dengan arah korelasi negatif.
Kesimpulan. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara derajat IPP terhadap penurunan IPSS pada pasien BPH setelah mendapatkan terapi aplha-1 blocker, semakin tinggi derajat IPP maka semakin rendah perbaikan IPSS akhir.
An Analysis of the Outcome of Socio Economic Factors on Mobility and Changes in Consumption Pattern in Northern Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Khalid Samra , Asghar Nabila , Rehman Hafeez ur 
Published: September 2021

The relationship between mobility and consumption pattern has been neglected in the past particularly in developing countries. Socio-economic mobility is the movement of individuals, social groups, or categories of people in the layers or strata between two different periods. For effective policy making, it is important to gauge the mobility pattern which portrays the socio-economic changes of society over the period as opposed to at one point in time. This brings up the need to examine the way in which elements of socio-economic mobility impacts the consumption in the emerging class of the society. Socio-economic factors and their influence on intra-temporal household mobility reveal the education as an important mediating factor in Northern Punjab. Whereas, opportunity of education and occupation work together to bridge the gap between an increase in household income and socio-economic status. This study concludes that education and occupation based mobility of households divert their consumption pattern toward more cultural goods. The emerging class seems to be attracted more towards conspicuous consumption including private schools, health care, shopping and the consumer goods to enhance their living standards.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: The study sought to determine the type of news on political corruption by newspapers in South Sudan
Method The study used descriptive research design to address the research objectives. The target population in this study was Sudan Tribune, Juba Monitor, The Dawn, Peace Day, Sudanese Online newspapers, international and local NGOs, journalists who work for the media station and lecturers and students from Juba University. The researcher identified every single element and the sampling frame was the five newspapers, also local and international NGOs, students and lecturers from Juba University
Findings of the study Media houses shied away from giving priority to political corruption news for the fear of their lives, intimidation and torture. the coverage of political corruption news on a quarter of a page, hence confirming the fact that the public in South Sudan was denied the opportunity by the print media to question the government on corruption in the country
Contributions Informed by the findings, the study had the following recommendation The various media regulatory policies and the constitutional rights should be implemented by the instruments of power including the police, the government and the judiciary. This would assure journalists and media houses of their freedom to access information and freedom of expression, while shielding them from intimidation, torture and killing. The legislature, in collaboration with the media regulatory bodies in South Sudan should enact laws that protected media houses and journalists, especially in the cases where they cover sensitive but important information.

Published: September 2021

Background Telephone and video-based triage of dyspnoea has become commonplace and clinicians are faced with a new challenge in risk stratification of patients with dyspnoea due to suspected COVID-19. This review aimed to identify existing remote assessment modalities for acute dyspnoea which can be applied during pandemics. Methods We conducted a systematic search of Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and medRxiv for studies of remote assessment of dyspnoea [PROSPERO ID: CRD42020202292]. A total of 3014 abstracts were screened independently by two reviewers and 32 studies were progressed to full text screening. Results Five studies met the inclusion criteria. Commonly assessed clinical features included respiratory rate, work of breathing, counting time and mental status. All studies found remote triage modalities to be appropriate for detecting severe respiratory distress or the need for emergency level care. Conclusions Evidence-based tools to remotely assess dyspnoea will reduce resource strain during current and future pandemics.

El avance científico en temas como la inteligencia artificial y la biotecnología, así como la pandemia por la Covid-19 presentan desafíos a la economía mundial, especialmente a los productores y empresarios que deben con resiliencia adaptarse al momento. En Ecuador, con un sistema económico social y solidario, los emprendedores, micro, pequeños y medianos empresarios deben unir sus esfuerzos para enfrentar estos retos. Una vía es la asociatividad. Sin embargo, existe resistencia al trabajo cooperativo, impera el individualismo y la intermediación como medio para llevar la producción al consumidor. Este, es uno de los nudos críticos en su cadena de valor, que no ha permitido al productor mejorar su estatus social. Por ello, con la revisión de una considerable literatura y un trabajo de campo se explica que conformar asociaciones posibilita desarrollar proyectos más eficientes, minimiza riesgos, mejora la competitividad e incrementa la producción, consolida alianzas entre distintos agentes que interactúan en el mercado, promoviendo oportunidades de crecimiento individual y colectivo. La asociatividad articulada a la cadena de valor permite desarrollar ventajas competitivas y crear valor a su marca.
