This modern era, people are demanded to have more than one language especially English as an international language. In educational context, developing the students' ability to master English, it cannot be separated from vocabulary mastery because it can be a measurement of students, understanding of English. This research is conducted to determine the implementation of mapping words technique effectiveness in improving the student's vocabulary mastery at the third Year Students of SMK Darussalam Makassar. This quasi-experimental research used two group designs named pre-test and post-test. 60 out of 287 students as being registered as a sample. The experimental group consists of 32 students, and the control group consists of 28 students. This research applied the Mapping Words technique as the medium while the other class using the conventional method. The result of this research showed that the use of the Mapping Words technique effectively improves the students’ vocabulary, it was shown from the result of pre-test and post-test in both groups. The mean scores and standard deviation of the experimental class showed improvement where the two mean scores' deviation was/. The value of the t-test was 4.37, while the value of the t-table was 2.021 on the level of significant 0.05 (95%) and 2.704 on the level significant 0.01 (99%). This figure indicated that the value of t-calculated was higher than the t-value of t-table 4.37 > 2.021 and 2.704.

This quasi-experimental study involves the experimental and control group which consist of 60 students in first year of SMA Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang 2019/2020 academic year. The reading test is used to collect data to find out do the students can achieve significant result in reading test using Text-based Character. Based on the result the mean score of the experimental group pre-test was 72.67 and classified into good classification, while the control group was 69.63 classified into good. The mean score of the post-test after treatment for the experimental group was 82.43 (very good) while the control group was 76.53, (good) classification still. The researcher found that the T-table is higher than the t-test (α) (1.659<2.021). It means that there is a significant difference in the pre-test of the control and experimental group, while in post-test of an experimental and control group, the researcher finds that the T-test is higher than the alpha and previous score in the the pre-test (α) (3.089>2.021). The degree of freedom is 58. This study reveals that the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. This is means that the use of Text-based Characters can improves students' reading skills in significant way.
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on Kidney Cancer Management
Authors: Bersanelli Melissa , Porta Camillo 
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still has a huge impact on the management of many chronic diseases such as cancer. Few data are presently available reagarding how the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has changed due to this unprecedented situation. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the challenges and issues of the diagnosis and treatment of RCC in the COVID-19 era, and to provide recommendations based on the collected literature and our personal experience. METHODS: Systematic review of the available Literature regarding the management of RCC during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. RESULTS: Our review showed a prevalence of narrative publications, raising the issue of the real relevance of the evidence retrieved. Indeed, the only original data about RCC and COVID-19 found were a small retrospective case series and two surveys, providing either patients’ or physicians’ viewpoints. CONCLUSIONS: The expected delayed diagnosis of RCC could lead to an increase of advanced/metastatic cases; thus, proper therapeutic choices for patients with small renal masses should be carefully evaluated case by case, in order to avoid negative effects on long-term survival rates. The controversial interaction between immune checkpoint blockade and COVID-19 pathogenesis is more hypothetical than evidence-based, and thus immunotherapy should not be denied, whenever appropriate. To avoid treatments which won’t have an impact on patients’ survival, a honest and accurate evaluation of the cost/benefit ratio of each treatment option should be always performed. Finally, SARS-CoV-2 swab positivity should not prevent the continuation of ongoing active treatments in asymptomatic cases, or or after symptoms’ resolution.
General classification of seismic protection systems of buildings and structures
Authors: Bazhenov Viktor , Heraimovych Yurii 
Published: March 2021

The issues of ensuring the seismic resistance of buildings and structures hold a leading position despite significant achievements in this area. This is confirmed by the significant loss of human life and destruction caused by strong earthquakes.
According to the principle of operation (properties of ensuring seismic resistance), all seismic protection systems can be conditionally divided into three groups: traditional, special and combined.
Traditional methods of seismic protection of buildings and structures are mainly associated with reducing the mass of structures, increasing their strength and stiffness characteristics, as well as with the choice of rational planning and design solutions.
The second group of seismic protection includes approaches associated with reducing the intensity of seismic loads on buildings and structures. Special seismic protection today is one of the most promising areas in the field of earthquake-resistant construction. The largest subgroup of this seismic protection – this is a passive seismic protection aimed at changing the dynamic scheme of a buildings or structures, which, in turn, is divided into seismic isolation and seismic suppression.
The combined system implies a combination of traditional and nontraditional seismic protection systems.
The massive use of seismic protection systems by design engineers is constrained by the lack of practical calculation methods. This is due to the fact that most seismic protection systems are characterized by a nonlinear deformation diagram, which does not allow the use of the standard linear-spectral methodology for the calculation.
This article clarifies the general classification of seismic protection systems of buildings and structures. The use of seismic protection systems during strong earthquakes can significantly reduce the amplitude of vibrations, provide less damage to buildings and structures. Seismic protection systems are one of the most effective ways to increase the level of seismic resistance of buildings and structures, although the share of seismic-protected buildings in construction in relation to traditional ones is still very small.

Published: March 2021

Background: The WHO has declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in March 2020. Cancer patients are considered a highly susceptible group. The effect of this pandemic on cancer mortality is still unknown. Aim: Our aim is to know whether or not we need to postpone cancer treatment during viral pandemics in the future. Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational study from March 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020, included cancer patients on active treatment, who have been admitted to our oncology center through the emergency unit, and patients who received oncology treatment in the outpatient treatment unit. COVID-19 positive cases were identified based on polymerase chain reaction testing of nasopharyngeal swab. Results: A total of 1300 patients was included in the study, 1096 patients attended the outpatient clinics, 204 patients were admitted to our oncology floor for emergency care. The cancer diagnosis was mainly breast cancer, followed by colon cancer. The main cause of emergency room visit was mainly fever followed by pain. Admission diagnosis was mainly disease progression followed by symptom control, COVID-19 infection, and febrile neutropenia. 1288 cycles of anticancer therapy were provided to 513 patients in the outpatient treatment unit. Three out of the nineteen patients who had a confirmed COVID-19 infection (16%) died not only due to infection, but also disease progression. Conclusion: Cancer treatment is not a risk factor for COVID-19 infection or its complications. Cancer treatment should not be interrupted during viral pandemics and every effort should be made to give cancer patients the standard of care.

Authors: Schmidt Laura 
Published: March 2021

A cikk célja bemutatni, hogy kik felelősek Magyarországon, illetve külföldön a rendőrség mellett biztonságunk megteremtéséért. A Magyarországon működő rendőrséget, az önkormányzati rendészetet, az egyes rendészeti feladatokat ellátókat, a társadalmi önkéntes bűnmegelőzési egyesületeket, valamint a magánbiztonsági szervezeteket hasonlítom össze az Egyesült Királyságban lévő szervekkel, de bemutatom a dél-afrikai köztársaságbeli, illetve a holland szerveket is. A kiválasztott országokban a néhány eltérés mellett látható, hogy hasonlóságok mutatkoznak például az önkormányzati rendészet és a társadalmi önkéntes bűnmegelőzési egyesületek feladatai között is. A plural policing rendszerének egyre nagyobb szerepe van külföldön és hazánkban is a biztonság fenntartásában és a bűncselekmények megelőzésében, így fontos, hogy minél több információnk legyen ennek a rendszernek a felépítéséről, működéséről.
Resiliensi, Religiositi dan Depresi dalam kalangan Mahasiswa Muslim: Satu Tinjauan di Universiti Tempatan (Resilience, Religiosity and Depression among Muslim Students. A Survey at Local University)
Authors: Mohamad Puzi Sobiroh , Ahmad Rosliza 
Published: March 2021

Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengkaji tahap, hubungan, dan pengaruh tahap resiliensi, religiositi dan depresi dalam kalangan mahasiswa di sebuah universiti tempatan. Seramai 196 orang mahasiswa terdiri daripada 50 orang mahasiswa lelaki dan 146 mahasiswa perempuan yang majoritinya berumur antara 21 hingga 23 tahun dipilih secara rawak sebagai responden kajian. Tiga instrumen digunakan iaitu The Resilience Scale (TRS) bagi mengukur resiliensi, The Muslim-Religious Personality Inventory (MRPI) digunakan untuk menilai religiositi dan Beck Depression Inventory (BDI II) digunakan untuk mengukur tahap depresi. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan majoriti mahasiswa berada pada tahap resiliensi yang sederhana. Manakala tahap religiositi responden adalah tinggi dan depresi mereka berada pada tahap rendah. Selain itu, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara religiositi dengan depresi dan religiositi dengan resiliensi. Hasil kajian ini juga menunjukkan bahawa religiositi mempengaruhi depresi mahasiswa. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa resiliensi tidak mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan depresi. Selain itu, kajian ini juga mendapati bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan resiliensi, religiositi dan depresi antara mahasiswa lelaki dan mahasiswa perempuan. Dapatan kajian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi panduan kepada kaunselor di Pusat Kaunseling Universiti Utara Malaysia untuk mengetahui keadaan resiliensi, religiositi dan depresi pelajar di UUM sekaligus memanfaatkan maklumat tersebut dalam perancangan aktiviti-aktiviti yang bersesuaian dengan pembangunan modal insan para pelajar.

Childrenâ€™s Psychological Affect on Their Daily Life in Private Welfare Institutions (Keadaan Psikologikal Kanak-Kanak dalam Kehidupan Harian di Pusat Kebajikan Persendirian)
Authors: Chan Cheong Chong , Sayuti Rusimah , Abdul Hamid Ahmad Shukri 
Published: March 2021

Children who are separated from their biological families have an unusual life experience compared to their counterparts residing with their biological families. This paper describes childrenâ€™s psychological affect by measuring their self-expression based on their daily experiences in welfare institutions. A total of 163 children in four private childrenâ€™s homes completed the Malay version of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) developed by Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener (2009). The results show that more than half of the children (60.1%) had high levels of positive expression, while 63.2 percent recorded intermediate levels of negative expression. In total, only 30.1 percent of the children had high affect balance. Independent sample t-test shows that male children had significant positive expression and higher affect balance compared to their female counterparts. Female children had higher negative expression than male children. Correlation analyses show that no significant relationships can be established between self-expression and the factors of age and length of stay at the private welfare institutions. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) indicates that there was a significant difference in mean affect balance between male and female children while adjusting age and length of stay. This implies that gender is an important factor in the positive expression of children in out-of-home care. Any efforts to help the children feel positive about their living experience should begin by considering their gender.

Authors: Bastos Paulo 
Published: March 2021

A presente crise, causada pela disseminação global do coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, impactou de forma contundente a organização dos Estados nacionais. Porém, suas consequências são percebidas de forma desigual por diferentes estratos da população, deixando ainda mais evidente a precariedade dos serviços públicos no Brasil. Impedido de funcionar por força das circunstâncias, o setor da educação observou, a fim de manter uma suposta funcionalidade, setores governamentais e privados recorrerem ao expediente do ensino a distância, desconhecendo a realidade de parte do alunado, e também as dificuldades de implementação desta modalidade de ensino. Neste artigo, buscarei demonstrar que a adoção desta medida expressa desigualdades sócio- territoriais presentes na sociedade, além de interesses privados na propagação desta modalidade. Considero ainda que essa crise está inserida em uma conjuntura neoliberal de concentração de renda e degradação dos serviços públicos. Finalmente, entendo que este cenário pode e deve ser apreendido à luz da Geografia e seu ensino, posto sua natureza de analisar criticamente a realidade socioespacial e a produção/reprodução do espaço.

Published: March 2021

W artykule przedstawiono krótko historię i losy biblioteki klasztornej bazylianów w Żyrowicach. Na początku XIX w. liczyła ona 3867 tomów i była drugą, po wileńskiej, w prowincji litewskiej. Zbiory uległy rozproszeniu i obecnie znajdują się w wielu krajach. Celem autorki było identyfikacja i opis zachowanych do dziś egzemplarzy druków cyrylickich, ponieważ dokumentacja klasztorna jest niepełna. W badaniach pomocne były charakterystyczne znaki własnościowe naniesione w księgach w .1758 i 1759 roku. Z autopsji opisano księgi z Biblioteki Akademii Nauk im. Wróblewskich w Wilnie, Biblioteki Akademii Nauk w Sankt Petersburgu i Biblioteki Narodowej w Warszawie Pozostałe, przechowywane w bibliotekach w: Rosji (Moskwa), Ukrainie (Kijów i Lwów) i Wielkiej Brytanii (Londyn), odszukano w katalogach drukowanych i artykułach. naukowych. Wśród zachowanych druków klasztornych przeważają liturgiczne i cerkiewne. Są także dzieła ojców Kościoła wschodniego, hagiografie, gramatyki języka słowiańskiego i dzieło prawnicze Statut Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego Pochodzą one nie tylko z drukarń bazyliańskich ale i prawosławnych działających od XV do końca XIVIII w. na ziemiach Rzeczypospolitej i Rusi Moskiewskiej.
Mehmet Gün (2020) Turkey’s Middle-Democracy Issues and How to Solve Them: Judiciary, Accountability and Fair Representation
Authors: Çınar Özgür H. 
Published: March 2021

This is a book review on Mehmet Gün, Turkey’s Middle-Democracy Issues and How to Solve Them: Judiciary, Accountability and Fair Representation. For many years, Turkey has had a poor record as regards human rights. Despite Turkey being a signatory to international conventions on human rights it has not consistently safeguarded these rights. Turkey made some progress by introducing reforms that began with the European Union (EU) accession process initiated in 1999. This process ushered in harmonisation laws and implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) that led to developments on the normative level. However, these changes were not sufficiently put into practice or adopted by public mechanisms.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Perforator propeller flap is a suitable option to cover soft tissue defects in the distal leg and ankle which preserves the main vascular arteries of the lower extremity and muscle function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of perforator propeller flaps for coverage of soft tissue defects around the distal leg and ankle.
Methods: This prospective study was donebetween December 2018 to November 2019in the Department of Burn & Plastic Surgery of National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation ( NITOR), Dhaka. Total 32 patients with small to medium sized soft tissue defect over distal leg and ankle underwent reconstruction with perforator propeller flaps. Sixteen patients had defect over tendo achilles area, 6 had defect over lateral malleolus,7 over medial malleolus and medial aspect of distal third leg and only 3 had defect in front of ankle. Average Flap length and width were 12.72 (+4.19) & 5.63 (+1.78) cm respectively. Flap rotation was measured 180 degrees in 84.37% of the cases. The propeller flaps were based on a single perforator and it was observed from the posterior tibial artery in 62.5% and peroneal artery in 37.5% of the cases.
Results: 81.25% of the flaps completely survived. Total flap loss was observed in one case (3%) while partial flap loss occurred in 6.2% cases. Marginal flap necrosis and epidermolysis were observed in 6.2% and 3% cases respectively.
Conclusions: Propeller flapshavereliable vascular pedicle as well as greater freedom in design and arc of rotation that extend the possibility ofreconstructing difficult wounds with local tissues and minimal donor-site morbidity.
