"Monarchists" and "Republicans" in the Western European Political and Legal Thought of the 17th Century
Authors: Galkin I. V. 
Published: February 2021

The paper is devoted to the problem of theoretical approaches to monarchical and republican forms of government that were reflected in the works of representatives of Western European political thought of the 17th century. The seventeenth century is the century that opens the period of Modern Times. It was a turning point not only in the history of Western European civilization, but also in the history of philosophical knowledge and "positive" sciences, including in such a specific field as political thought, which developed at the intersection of philosophy and science. The political theory of the period, was able to rise to the realization of the objective of the imperfection of existing political institutions and give its recommendations for addressing the identified deficiencies, as far as it was possible in terms of initial imperfections is given to us in sensations of the world. The political thought of the historical period under consideration showed a lively theoretical polemic between the supporters of the monarchical and republican forms of government. The revolutionary situation developed in some of the advanced European states during the alarming seventeenth century made it possible to understand the advantages or disadvantages of the existing forms of government. It seems quite natural that the formation of the theoretical views of specific political thinkers or jurists was formed under the influence of the dominant ideology (or competing ideologies) of that time. Moreover, it should be noted that the monarchist or republican views of specific authors are not always theoretically well-reasoned, but are often based on the subjective preferences of thinkers. Thus, this paper highlights a rather ambiguous problem of the features of monarchical and republican forms of government in the political thought of the 17th century.
Role of dual biomarkers and uterine artery doppler study in predicting PIH and IUGR in antenatal patients registered in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Bapat Alka C. , Kashikar Rupesh , Goyal Shashi R. 
Published: February 2021

Background: The incidence of IUGR is between 3 to 7%, whereas that of Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is about 10% of pregnant women around the world. These conditions are associated with a high rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality, posing a need for the detection of the potential causes of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality and for the prediction of these conditions early during pregnancy.Methods: Patients with first antenatal visit before 10 weeks gestation underwent routine NT scan between 11–13 weeks with bilateral UAD-RI of the maternal uterine arteries. The placental volume was assessed. Serum dual biomarker test (β hCG and PAPP-A) was performed after this scan and analysed as multiples of median (MoM). Blood pressure was recorded at every ANC visit till 2 weeks after delivery. Neonatal head and chest circumference, birth length and weight were recorded.Results: The mean values of PAPP-A levels of Non-PIH and PIH groups were 1.32±0.91 MoM and 0.68±0.39 MoM respectively, showing statistically significant difference. The serum PAPP-A levels showed statistically significant difference between Non-IUGR and IUGR groups (1.24±0.87 MoM and 0.46±0.20 MoM respectively).Conclusions: In our study, PAPP-A level is observed as a good indicator for possible prediction of PIH and IUGR whereas levels of β hCG and UAD-RI were not good predictors. The role of Placental volume in prediction of IUGR needs to be explored further with larger sample size. Future studies are needed with a larger group with inclusion of measurement of PI values.

Authors: Patel Meet S. , Jani Shashwat K. , Patel Babulal S. , Shah Akshay C. 
Published: February 2021

Background: Labour induction is one of the most common intervention in obstetric practice. A simple application of PGE2 intracervical gel can ripen the cervix effectively and improve Bishop’s score there by helping in successful vaginal delivery. Considering its good performance, the dinoprostone slow-release vaginal insert is the first choice for elective induction of labour in postdate pregnancy and in patients with term pregnancy of premature rupture of membranes.Methods: This was a single year retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care center of western India from May 2019 to May 2020.Results: In group I women who delivered within 24 hours were included, in group II women who required re-instillation were included. The most common indication for induction in both the groups was past dates (accounting for 36.1% in group I and 47.3% in group II). The success rate in group I was 68.1% while in group II was 36.8%. The rate of cesarean delivery in group I was 25.9%, while in Group II, it was 60.1%. Negligible maternal and neonatal complications were seen in both the groups. Conclusions: The study showed that intracervical application of prostaglandin E2 is an effective, safe and acceptable method for induction of labor in women with unfavorable cervix and indications for induction. All these effects were achieved without increasing maternal and neonatal morbidity

Published: February 2021

Mullerian anomalies are defects in the embryological development of the urogenital systems as these organs begin to form at about the 5 and 6th week of intrauterine life. Uterine didelphys is one of the Mullerian or paramesonephric duct anomalies occurring as a result of duplication of the uterine canal with two cervical canals and a single vagina. The incidence uterine didelphys has been quoted as 1 in 2000 women. This case report elucidates the presentation of a multiparous lady with uterine didelphys who has a had a previous successful pregnancy in of the uterine canals but presented in the second pregnancy with a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks gestational age. She also has a single right kidney. These were all diagnosed on ultrasound scan. She had an initial unsuccessful surgical management of miscarriage with uterine perforation of one of the uterine cavities, hysteroscopy and diagnostic laparoscopy and subsequently had a repeat examination under anaesthesia and second attempt at evacuation of retained products or a laparoscopy plus hysterotomy. This was particularly challenging as the cervix was flushed with the vaginal vault making delineating and dilatation of the cervical OS difficult hence sustaining a perforation of the left uterine cavity. The second attempt of surgical management was successful, and she was subsequently discharged. This is one of the few case reports in literature and will further add credence to the body of knowledge of a different aspect to the presentation and management of cases of Mullerian anomalies.
A case of amniotic fluid embolism and its sequelae during COVID-19 pandemic: a success story
Authors: Vishal Anish Kumar , Bhasin Dinesh , Prasad Krishna 
Published: February 2021

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an unforeseeable, life-threatening complication of pregnancy with an extremely high mortality rate. This is a complex disorder classically characterized by the abrupt onset of hypoxia, hypotension and consumptive coagulopathy. We experienced a patient who underwent caesarean delivery because of sudden cardiovascular collapse. Intra op she had DIC and was hemodynamically unstable. Surgery was able to complete with inotropes and vasopressors. In subsequent post op period, she had sepsis with MODS. The diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism was made after other differential diagnosis had been ruled out. The successful outcome in our case is attributable to early recognition with immediate delivery of the fetus, high-grade resuscitation, timely hysterectomy and aggressive treatment of coagulopathy by blood and blood-products, involvement of multidisciplinary team, constant supervision by nursing staff with positive approach. From a grim situation of near death, the final outcome was a successful story.
Repeat infection with SARS COV-2, a worrisome situation: report of two cases from India
Authors: Kumar Deepak , Gupta Garima 
Published: February 2021

Number of COVID cases and mortalities are still growing globally. There is no single treatment method found effective in reducing the disease severity. Several vaccines have been developed recently and most of them are under clinical trial only. Availability of an effective vaccine and its use at the community level is the only hope left with us. However, the emergence of re-infective cases from various part of the world has put a big question on the ongoing vaccination research and its use. Most of these re-infection cases reported were not studied for viral genome, different mutated virus causing repeat infection have been isolated in few reports only. In these situations, either a newer vaccine has to be developed every time for a new mutated virus or the multiple doses of the vaccine have to be administered if same strain of the virus is causing the re-infection. We report two cases from India who acquired repeat SARS COV 2 infection, adding up the much-required information in the current scenario.

Authors: Neolaka Grace Amialia A 
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study is to describe the readiness of PSTEstudent to become an elementary school teacher through self reflection study. The methodology in this research is qualitative with documentation dan observation approaches. The data source was PSTE sudent batch 2017 on President University, namely 4 participants who were chosen based on research needs. The result of self reflection study found that readiness of PSTE student to become elementary school teachers varies depending on their standard on self reflection. In addition, it was also found that there were two groups of PSTE students in this study, namely 1) a group of student who made self-calling as standard in their self regulation and 2) a group of student who made competence as standard in their self regulation. The readiness of PSTE student to become elementary school teachers could not be standardized by the self-reflection model because it was personal, subjective, and dynamic following the development of each individual. But, self reflection could be tool for helping PSTE student to prepare themselve as a prospective teacher in the future. The findings from this research can be used as a reference for teacher education program on enhancement PSTE student readiness especially on pedagogy and English language skills and develop habit of self-reflection as prospective teacher.

En el contexto de la vida cotidiana, inscri-ta en el campo de batalla cultural de las (hiper)mediaciones materiales y simbólicas de internet, nos interesa reflexionar críticamente en torno al abordaje de las prácticas culturales de consumo digital. Dentro del campo de la comunicación política, observamos que hoy múltiples fenómenos se imbrican en la configuración cotidiana de dichas prácticas, lo que nos conduce a repensar desde el papel de las mediciones de audiencias y estadísticas más tradicionales hasta el uso del big data y algoritmos, en tanto diferentes lecturas político-culturales de audiencias hoy desafiadas por una crisis mundial en materia de ciberseguridad. Entre otras condiciones del devenir digital, entenderemos tales consumos contemporáneos como un problema de poder político, reconociendo su dimensión ideológica.
El discurso del movimiento LGBTI en Ecuador: usos del lenguaje y la tecnología en momentos de campaña electoral
Authors: Criollo Burbano Marcelo 
Published: February 2021

En este artículo, se analizan dos estrategias comunicacionales digitales de colectivos LGBTI durante la campaña electoral ecuatoriana de 2017. Se estudian las prácticas discursivas de estos públicos subalternos, su apropiación de la tecnología y su accionar político en la esfera digital. En el análisis, se consideran las expresiones, los estilos y los espacios discursivos que usan estos colectivos para discutir sus demandas desde lo digital. Una mirada optimista considera que la tecnología y las redes digitales han permitido el aumento de formas de participación y una mayor visibilidad de los movimientos LGBTI en Ecuador. Desde una mirada menos optimista, se cuestiona si estos canales constituyen una vía adecuada y suficiente de participación e influencia política. Metodológicamente, nos centramos en el estudio de las formas de poder que atraviesan los discursos. Nos preguntamos: ¿qué temas se tratan en estos discursos digitales y cómo, y qué queda excluido de ellos? ¿Qué estrategias se ponen en juego en estos contradiscursos? Finalmente, desde el enfoque de la acción colectiva, se plantean las complejidades de los públicos subalternos y su potencial emancipatorio en un contexto de campaña electoral.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Resource Based Learning Design Thinking (RBLDT) model to improve student's creative thinking skills, concept gaining, and digital literacy. It is a quasi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design. Furthermore, it was conducted at several senior high schools in Ambon, such as Senior High School 1, 2, 12, and Senior High School Siwalima Ambon in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 academic year. From each school, three classes were selected, and 36 students were used as the study samples to obtain a total of 432 students. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA, and post hoc LSD test was performed for every significant result obtained. The results showed that the RBLDT learning model has an effect on creative thinking skills, concept gaining, and digital literacy of students in the class XI senior high school on the subject matter of animal tissue (p<0.05). The combination of the RBLDT learning model syntax can improve students' creative thinking skills, concept gaining, and digital literacy better than RBL or DT when implemented separately.

Knowledge for Nursing Practice: Beyond Evidence Alone
Authors: Smith Marlaine C. , Chinn Peggy L. , Nicoll Leslie H. 
Published: February 2021

ObjectiveFor the past 30 years there has been a growing emphasis on evidence as the primary or exclusive basis for nursing practice.MethodsCritical examination of literature related to evidence-based practice from the 1990s to the present.ResultsThis review of the nursing literature from the 1990s to the present reveals that in the midst of the movement to promote evidence-based practice as the gold standard, there have been persistent expressions of concern. These concerns are (a) lack of alignment of evidence-based practice with nursing's disciplinary perspective; (b) wrongful privileging of empirical knowledge over other sources of knowledge; (c) underappreciation of the complexity of practice and practice wisdom;(d) possibilities of evidence-based practice thwarting innovation and creativity;(e) vulnerabilities of empirical evidence to be flawed, inconsistent, and influenced by competing interests; (f) situational realities that limit access to and critical appraisal of evidence that access to and critical appraisal of evidence is not feasible or practical; and (g) lack of relationship of evidence-based practice to theory.ConclusionsWe call for a recalibrated practice epistemology that promotes a greater appreciation for the myriad sources of knowledge for nursing practice, and offer recommendations for international change in education, literature, scholarship, and public media.

Published: February 2021

This work involves separating and studying the aminoacylase-1 (ACY1) of amniotic fluid from healthy pregnant, mainly one peak with higher activity has been isolated by DEAE-Cellulose ion exchange from the proteinous supernatant produced by deposition of proteins using ammonium sulfate (65%) after dialysis. The purification folds reaching to 19 folds also gave one protein peak when injected into the gel filtration column, a high ACY1 purity was obtained, with 38 folds of purification. It was found that the molecular weight of the isolated ACY1 was up to 46698 Dalton when using gel chromatography technique.The effect of ACY1 isolate was studied on rats with oxidative stress caused by lead acetate(LA) at 40 mg / kg body weight and compared with normal rats by measuring the selected biochemical parameters which included: Glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) through liver and kidney tissue examination. The results showed a significant increase in the levels of (MDA, AST, ALT) and a decrease in the level of GSH compared with the control group, Also it has been observed there that was a significant decrease in the levels of (MDA, AST, ALT) and high level of GSH when injecting the ACY1 isolate in a dose of 4 mg / kg of rat weight with LA at 40 mg/kg. The results of the tissue examination demonstrated high pathological changes in the liver tissue of rats treated with LA at 40 mg/kg of rat weight when compared with normal rats. The liver and kidney tissue improved when treated with isolate at 4 mg / kg rat weight and LA. These results demonstrate the role of ACY1 in protecting from oxidative stress then can reduce the severity of various diseases.
