Published: July 2021

Tropical cyclone causes enormous damage of property and life in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Majority of the damage during tropical cyclone occurs because of storm surge. Bangladesh is vulnerable to storm surge flooding due to its complex geometry and location. The huge loss of property and life can be reduced by predicting storm surge during a tropical cyclone. So, an attempt has been made in this study to see the effectiveness of predicting storm surge by Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) storm surge model from Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). In this study, MRI storm surge model is used to simulate storm surge of five cyclones cyclone Bulbul (November 2019), cyclone Fani (May 2019), cyclone Mora (May 2017), cyclone Roanu (May 2016) and cyclone Komen (July 2015) were simulated using MRI storm surge model to see the effectiveness of the model. The model was run for 48-hours for two different data sets which are, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data and Global Spectral Model (GSM) data. Simulated storm surge heights found from the model are compared with the reported surge height from Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) and Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD). The model is able to simulate storm surge height, mean sea level pressure (MSLP) and wind data of all the selected cases. The time series graph developed using python comparing the simulated results of storm surge height data with observed data for the event cyclone Bulbul showed the simulated data of both NWP datasets were in line with the observed data. And comparison of the maximum storm surge height for all five events shows simulated data for both the data sets were close to the reported data and the difference was well within the margin of error. The results indicate MRI model as a useful tool for storm surge forecasting

Published: July 2021

Fog causes severe hazards in the fields of aviation, transportation, agriculture and public health over Dhaka, Bangladesh during the winter season every year. The characterization of fog occurrences, its onset, duration and dissipation time over Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka are the topics of interest in the present study. Attempts have therefore been made to investigate the climatological perspectives of fog over Dhaka, Bangladesh by conducting two selected dense fog events occurred during 24-25 December 2019 and 14-15 January 2020 using WRF-ARW model. The model performance is evaluated by analyzing different meteorological parameters namely visibility, relative humidity, temperature, and wind. The model outputs have been compared with METAR data from Dhaka Airport, Sounding data and INSAT 3D satellite images for validation purpose. Considering RMSE, the model underestimates of relative humidity. Model simulations are good for other meteorological parameters. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that calm wind persists at surface level during fog formation, southwesterly dry wind was over Dhaka and inversion layer is found to persist in the lower troposphere over Dhaka during the event dates. It is observed in the satellite images that fog/low-level cloud was present over Dhaka during the fog events.

Authors: Alam KH Md Faisal , Rashid Mohd Harun Or , Haque Md Azizul , Alam Md Mahbubul , Parvez MM Washee , Chowdhury Sharif , Haque Rashidul 
Published: July 2021

Background: Amebic liver abscess (ALA) is an ancient parasitic disease caused by E. histolytica described first by Hippocrates. It is endemic worldwide, mainly in tropic and subtropics countries. About 50 million true E. histolytica infections and approximately 100,000 deaths occur each year globally. In Bangladesh, exact incidences of amebic liver abscess cases are not estimated, but hospital reports indicate that it is endemic. Immunity and immune responses in acute and post infections of ALA are not well understood to date. However, the understanding of immunology is essential to know disease progression, recovery, morbidity, and mortality as well as diagnosis and newer prevention strategies like vaccine development. In this 15-month prospective and follow-up study, different antibody responses are estimated periodically.
Methods: About 90 amebic liver abscess patients diagnosed initially by ultra-sonogram confirmed followed by Real-Time PCR were selected for this study. All were admitted into Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Antibody responses against different antigens, which include Serum anti-lectin IgG, Salivary anti-CRD (carbohydrate recognition domain) Ig A, and Stool anti-CRD (carbohydrate recognition domain) IgA were estimated by ELISA periodically thrice, in acute stage after 06 and 09 months and between 12 and 15 months.
Results: Serum anti-lectin IgG in ALA persists remarkably high well up to 09 months in 98% cases, Secretory anti-CRD IgA was also determined from the saliva, and only 36(40%) show positive titer during first 06 months, and about 40% of ALA cases show high titer of anti-CRD IgA from stool samples in first six months of infection.
Conclusion: Only serum anti lectin Ig G showed significant high titer in 98% of cases in the acute stage and up to nine months of infection.

Background: Infection and Diabetes often coexist, making each other the worse for it. Patients with diabetes have a greater frequency and severity of many common infections such as urinary, pulmonary, soft tissue infections. This study aims to describe the bacterial agents and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of diabetic foot infections (DFI) and pneumonia in the Rajshahi region.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was performed over a period of one year in a tertiary care hospital that involved 120 patients. The aerobic bacterial agents were isolated, their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were determined from wound swab and sputum samples.
Results: A total of 106 microorganisms were isolated among 95 culture-positive cases. The microorganism isolated were 50.94% (n = 54) GN (Gram-negative) and 49.06% (n = 52) GP (Gram-positive). GN microorganisms include Pseudomonas spp. (25.47%), E. coli (14.15%), Klebsiella spp. (9.43%), and Proteus spp. (1.89%). S. aureus (38.68%) were predominant among GP, followed by S. pyogens (3.77%) and Enterococcus spp. (1.89%). About 4.72% were Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS). S. aureus showed 95.12% sensitivity to Vancomycin and 90.24% to Imipenem. On the other hand, Pseudomonas spp. showed highest 85.19% sensitivity to Meropenem.
Conclusion: Gram-negative (GN) microorganisms were predominantly isolated from DFIs and pneumonia, but S. aureus was the most frequently isolated organism. They showed a wide range of susceptibility towards different antimicrobials.

Published: July 2021

Abstrak : Buku ini membahas dua pendekatan Interkultural dan multikultural untuk mengelola keanekaragaman budaya yang ada dalam masyarakat. Multicultural dan Interkultural sama-sama mempelajari suatu proses atau tahapan bagi kita untuk menjadi pribadi yang mampu memanusiakan manusia. Perlunya belajar tentang interkultural dan multikultural agar mampu menciptakan budaya baru dan bersikap toleran terhadap budaya lain sangatlah penting. Pendidikan multikultural dan interkultural menjadi salah satu solusi dalam pengembangan sumberdaya manusia yang mempunyai karakter kuat dan toleran terhadap budaya lain. Tak jarang dalam Negara-negara yang kuat dengan multikulturalisme memasukkan multikultural sebagai adopsi kurikulum pembelajaran sekolah mereka. Menurut mereka pertautan antara pendidikan dan multikultural menjadi solusi atas realitas budaya yang beragam sebagai proses pengembangan seluruh potensi yang menghargai pluralitas dan heterogenitas sebagai konsekwensi keragaman budaya,etnis, suku, aliran dan agama. Namun, dalam perkembangan masa, permasalahan yang muncul dalam masyarakat dan juga perekembangan ilmu pengetahuan yang semakin maju membuat multicultural ini menjadi suatu metode yang sudah tidak cocok digunakan lagi pada masa sekarang ini. Salah satunya karena multicultural sudah ternoda dengan kepentingan politisi dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Oleh karenanya pada saat ini Interkultural menjadi lebih cocok digunakan.

Planlı Ekonomi Karşısında Hayek’te Hukukun Üstünlüğü
Authors: KESKİN Erdoğan 
Published: July 2021

Öz
Hukukun üstünlüğü, insan hak ve hürriyetlerinin korunabilmesi için en temel gerekliliklerden birisidir. Ancak eşitlik ve sosyal adalet söylemi ile hukukun üstünlüğü ihlal edilmekte; birey ve hürriyetleri görmezden gelinmektedir. Dolayısıyla siyasi iktidar tarafından ekonominin planlandığı ve bireyin toplum içerisinde yok sayıldığı bir düzen hürriyetlerle uyuşmamaktadır. Günümüzde de sosyal adalet ve eşitlik arzusuna ilave olarak salgın hastalıklar, terör ve milliyetçilik gibi etkenlerle planlamacılığa rağbet edilmesi tehlikesi hala çok tazedir. Biz de bu nedenlerle çalışmamızda Hayek’in görüşleri ile hürriyetlerin önemini hatırlatmak istiyoruz.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most prevalent inherited motor sensory neuropathy, which clusters a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders with more than 90 genes associated with different phenotypes. The goal of this study is to identify the genetic features in the recruited cohort of patients, highlighting the role of rare variants in the genotype-phenotype correlation. We enrolled 67 patients and applied a diagnostic protocol including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification for copy number variation (CNV) detection of PMP22 locus, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) for sequencing of 47 genes known to be associated with CMT and routinely screened in medical genetics. This approach allowed the identification of 26 patients carrying a whole gene CNV of PMP22. In the remaining 41 patients, NGS identified the causative variants in eight patients in the genes HSPB1, MFN2, KIF1A, GDAP1, MTMR2, SH3TC2, KIF5A, and MPZ (five new vs. three previously reported variants; three sporadic vs. five familial variants). Familial segregation analysis allowed to correctly interpret two variants, initially reported as “variants of uncertain significance” but re-classified as pathological. In this cohort is reported a patient carrying a novel familial mutation in the tail domain of KIF5A [a protein domain previously associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)], and a CMT patient carrying a HSPB1 mutation, previously reported in ALS. These data indicate that combined tools for gene association in medical genetics allow dissecting unexpected phenotypes associated with previously known or unknown genotypes, thus broadening the phenotype expression produced by either pathogenic or undefined variants.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03084224).

IntroductionEndometrial cancer type 2 (EC2) carries a worse prognosis compared to EC type 1. EC2 disproportionately affects Black women among whom incidence is higher and survival is poorer compared to Whites. Here we assessed EC2 incidence and survival patterns among US Black ethnic groups: US-born Blacks (UBB), Caribbean-born Blacks (CBB), and Black Hispanics (BH).MethodsWe analyzed population-based data (n=24,387) for the entire states of Florida and New York (2005–2016). Hysterectomy-corrected EC2 incidence rates were computed by racial-ethnic group, and survival disparities were examined using Cox regression adjusting for tumor characteristics, poverty level, and insurance status.ResultsEC2 incidence rates were highest among UBB (24.4 per 100,000), followed by CBB (18.2), Whites (11.1), and Hispanics of all races (10.1). Compared to Whites, the age-adjusted cause-specific survival was worse for non-Hispanic Blacks (aHR: 1.61; 95%CI 1.52–1.71) and Hispanics of all races (aHR:1.09; 95% CI:1.01–1.18). In relation to Whites, survival was worse for non-Hispanic Blacks: UBB (aHR:1.62; 95%CI 1.52–1.74) and CBB (aHR:1.59; 95% CI:1.44–1.76) than for BH (aHR:1.30; 95% CI:1.05–1.61). Surgical resection was associated with a lower risk of death, while carcinosarcoma subtype and advanced stage at diagnosis were associated with a greater risk.ConclusionsAlthough higher EC2 incidence and lower survival are observed among all African-descent groups, there are significant intra-racial differences among UBB, CBB, and BH. This heterogeneity in EC2 patterns among Black populations suggests an interplay between genetic and socioenvironmental factors.

Background: Mitochondrial disorders (MD) are a group of clinically heterogeneous genetic disorders resulting from dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Cognitive impairment is a common feature in adults with MD and psychiatric symptoms are associated with MD in up to 70% of the adult population. The aim of this study is to describe the psychiatric profile in children and adolescents with MD by focusing on the description of psychiatric symptoms.Methods: A cohort of 12 children and adolescents was prospectively recruited between February 2019 and February 2020 in the Reference Center for Mitochondrial Disorders of Angers (France). Participants and their parents completed an anamnestic form to provide socio-demographic data and completed the Global Assessment of Functioning scale, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, the Child Depression Inventory, the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and the Conner's Rating Scale to evaluate the inattention/hyperactivity symptoms as well as the Quality of Life scale.Results: Four children (33.3%) were diagnosed with depressive symptoms. With regarding to anxiety, 6 children (50%) reported anxiety issues during the psychiatric interview and 3 children (25%) were suffering from anxiety according to the RCMAS scale. Compared to other children with chronic illnesses, the individuals in our cohort reported a lower overall quality of life score and lower scores in physical and social subscales.Conclusion: Our study shows that MD can lead to psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents, in particular anxiety and depression, as well as poor quality of life. This highlights the need for regular psychiatric assessments in individuals with developing brains, such as children and adolescents. We do not, however, have data regarding the neuropsychological profile of this population.

Relevance.The high prevalence of tooth decay requires investigation of its risk factors. The aim was to study tooth decay risk factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health (based on parents’ assessment).Materials and methods.The research evaluated the dental health of six-year-olds and factors defining their oral health; The study surveyed 515 parents of six-year-old children from 7 kindergartens in Arkhangelsk. Pearson chi-square test assessed the differences in the frequency of tooth decay factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health. The accepted significance level was 0.05.Results.The Arkhangelsk parents evaluated the dental health of their six-year-olds as relatively favourable: good (41.2%) and satisfactory (46.6%). Only 9.5% of children had poor health. Children generally had good oral hygiene skills: 86.8% liked brushing their teeth; 60.2% squeezed the optimal amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush; 56.7% brushed their teeth twice a day. The dental literacy of parents was satisfactory: 67.0% purchased toothpaste for children; 90.8% considered necessary to treat primary teeth; 69.2% replaced toothbrush every three months; 59.7% visited a pediatric dentist twice a year. The children with poor dental health had insufficient oral hygiene skills: 46.9% did not like teeth cleaning; 51.1% brushed their teeth once a day. Their diet was not healthy: 100.0% did not eat hard food; 65.3% frequently consumed sweets. The parents of children with poor dental health had low medical literacy and poor oral hygiene: 46.9% did not know that treatment of primary teeth was necessary; 42.9% considered the treatment of primary teeth as unnecessary; 32.6% purchased whatever toothpaste. The general negative trend is to use toothpaste without fluoride (68.1%).Conclusions.The results of the study demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of cariogenic factors in children with poor dental health.

El pasado reciente argentino y las normativas escolares
Authors: Papier Viviana 
Published: July 2021

Desde la formación de los estados nacionales la escuela ha sido un espacio de transmisión de determinados relatos sobre el pasado y de construcción de memoria colectiva. El pasado reciente argentino en particular, caracterizado como un “pasado que no pasa”, controvertido, traumático y conflictivo, es necesariamente “reelaborado” por la institución escolar para transmitirlo a los jóvenes.
En este artículo realizo un breve recorrido teórico sobre el pasado reciente como objeto de estudio, reconociendolas principales conceptualizaciones y discusiones acerca de la memoria, la historia y la educación, por un lado, para luego analizar las diferentes narrativas que se han construido acerca del pasado reciente argentino tanto desde la historia como desde la memoria y las modalidades con las que se propone incorporar en la escuela a través de las reformas educativas y los diseños curriculares de la materia Historia de 5to año y 6to año del nivel secundario de la Provincia de Buenos Aires.
