Authors: Zareian Zahra Jahromi , Zareian Parvin , Movahed Emad 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Various methods have been used for the treatment and management of repeated implantation failures (RIFs). One approach that has recently been considered for the treatment of RIF is intrauterine infusion of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Objective:
In the present study, the effect of intrauterine injection of PRP on pregnancy outcome was investigated in women with RIFs.

Study Design:
This study was performed on 17 patients with RIF history. The number of embryos (5-day blastocyst) transferred in each patient was 1 or 2. An aliquot of 12 mL of venous blood was taken from the patient. After two centrifugal stages, 0.5–1 mL of PRP was obtained. PRP was injected into the womb cavity.

Results:
The implantation and clinical pregnancy were confirmed in 35.3% (n = 6) of the patients. One patient had a miscarriage in the second month of pregnancy. Live birth rate was 29.4% (n = 5).

Conclusion:
This study showed the effectiveness of intrauterine infusion of PRP in patients with RIFs.

Authors: Bozkurt Fatma , Coskun Omer , Yelec Sevda 
Published: December 2021

Background: In pregnancy, Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection disease may be more severe due to existingphysiological changes. Similarly, changes during and after birth can make the patient more subceptible.
Objective: To investigate possible laboratory findings that was related to postpartum progression of COVID-19 disease.
Methods: Pregnant women who are pregnant at 28 weeks or more and who are COVID-19 positive at the time of delivery were investigated in this study. Progressed post- delivery and non-progressed COVID-19 positive pregnants’ laboratory findings were analyzed. Hematological and immunological parameters associated with postpartum progressed COVID-19 disease were evaluated.
Results: Totally 151 individuals were conducted to the study. In the prenatal analysis, higher BMI and lower albumin levels were detected in the progressed group (p<0.05). In the postpartum analysis; White Blood Cell, lymphocyte and albumin were increased, while neutrophil, NLR, LDH, CK, D-DIMER, Ferritin, CRP and IL-6 were decreased in the non-progressed group as opposite of the progressed group (p<005).
Conclusion: We observed that prenatal low albumin and high BMI may be related to progression of the COVID-19 disease after delivery. In progressed group, inflammatory markers were increased after delivery while in non-progressed group they were improved. These markers may be warning for the postpartum progression of COVID-19 disease.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of pneumonia among children under-five years presenting with acute respiratory symptoms.
Methodology: This was a cross sectional study at the Pediatric Department of Kampala International University – Teaching Hospital, from the month of April to August 2019. The study included 336 children aged 2 to 59 months presenting with acute respiratory symptoms to the pediatric clinic. Pneumonia diagnosis was made according to the World Health Organization definition, modified by a chest radiograph. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data on socio-demographic, environmental and nutrition factors and multivariate logistic regression analysis using STATA version 13.0 was done to assess for the factors independently associated with pneumonia.
Results: Of the 336 children with acute respiratory symptoms, eighty-six, 86 (25.6%) had pneumonia. Factors significantly associated with pneumonia included: age below 6 months (OR=3.2, 95%CI=1.17-8.51, p=0.023), rural residence (OR=5.7, 95%CI=2.97-11.05, p <0.001), not up-to-date for age immunization status (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.05-7.98, p=0.039), severe acute malnutrition (OR=10.8, 95%CI=2.01-58.41, p=0.006), lack of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.53-5.53, p=0.001) and exposure to cigarette smoke (OR=3.0, 95%CI=1.35-6.80, p=0.007).
Conclusion: The prevalence of pneumonia in children under-five years was high. Most of the factors associated with pneumonia are modifiable; addressing these factors could reduce this prevalence.

Published: December 2021

Background: In piloting a shift from traditional practice-based placements to decentralised clinical training (DCT), there was a need to explore the factors that influenced the placement as part of monitoring and evaluation. DCT involves placementto clinical sites away from the higher education institution necessitating changes to supervision strategies utilised.Objective: This study explored the experiences of clinical educators supervising occupational therapy students within this new model during a pilot phase of the DCT programme at one institution in South Africa.Method: The study was located in KwaZulu-Natal province and followed an explorative qualitative design with semi-structured interviews and focus groups with purposively sampled clinical educators (n=11). Data were audio-recorded and thematically analysed.Findings: Two central themes emerged and included the clinical educators’ expectations (organisation factors, role and scope of partners in decentralised training and communication) and experiences (perspectives and value of decentralised training).Conclusion: Decentralised training has considerable potential to contribute to authentic student learning. Improved communication between all stakeholders would assist in enhancing the quality of the learning experiences on such platforms. Students need to be more prepared prior to commencing DCT, and there is a need for more rural placements with a primary health care focus.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: This retrospective study was conducted to: (1) provide more modern data on real-life local management of metastatic rectal cancer; (2) compare therapeutic strategies; and (3) identify prognostic factors of local failure, overall survival and progression-free survival.
METHODS: Data about efficacy and acute toxicity were collected. Patients were diagnosed with metastatic rectal cancer between 2004 and 2015, and were treated at least with radiotherapy. Local failure, overall survival and progression-free survival were correlated with patient, tumour and treatment characteristics using univariate and multivariate analyses.
RESULTS: Data of 148 consecutive patients with metastatic rectal cancer were analysed. Median follow-up was 19 months. Median overall survival was 16 months. All patients received local radiotherapy, with a median equivalent 2 Gy per fraction dose of 47.7 Gy. Rectal surgery was performed in 97 patients (65.6%). The majority of patients (86/97, 88.7%) received pre-operative chemoradiation. In multivariate analysis, rectal surgery was found to be the only independent predictor of increased overall survival (24.6 vs 7.1 months, p <0.001). Of the patients undergoing surgical treatment, 22.8% presented with significant complications that required a delay of systemic treatment. Grade 3–4 acute radiation therapy-related toxicities were observed in 6.1% of patients, mainly gastrointestinal toxicities (5.4%).
CONCLUSION: Rectal surgery was a key predictive factor of increased progression-free survival and overall survival in patients receiving at least local radiotherapy. In our series of real-life patients, local surgery and radiation seemed as well tolerated as reported in selected phase III non-metastatic rectal cancer patients. These data suggested that local management could be beneficial for metastatic rectal cancer patients.
Evolution and perspectives of Spanish in Russian school system
Authors: Torres Hernández J. 
Published: December 2021

The article examines from various points of view the role of the Spanish language in the Russian system of primary and secondary education, both public and private, paying special attention to the experience of schools participating in the Bilingual Sections program of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Training. The article compares Spanish with other foreign languages in the Russian school system, and considers its evolution in the timeline and the impact on its status of migration movements in connection with political events, commercial and student exchange, tourism; as well as the impact of certain measures taken both in Russia and in Spain. Institutions in both countries have established links to promote mutual development in terms of learning Spanish and Russian, and the diplomatic corps has become the catalyst and manager of this dynamic. Despite the fact that the reactions of educational actors (institutions, civil society, students and teachers) are varied, they reinforce different mechanisms to gain access to Spanish culture and business, as well as to other Spanish-speaking countries. The article also demonstrates the current statistics and describes the trend that the teaching of Spanish may follow in the coming years due to positioning of Spanish among the main foreign languages studied in Russian schools.
A acumulação por espoliação e o novo navio negreiro: Verticalidades e horizontalidades
Authors: Silva Rodrigo Fernandes 
Published: December 2021

Atualmente, no território herdado, vivido e atualizado (suporte e abrigo, para a vivência de alguns, como de recurso para outros) a compreensão dos capitais fixos e dos fluxos é fundamental no entendimento dada geografia econômica. No entanto, após a década de 1970, a reconfigura o lugar e o conecta a uma lógica internacional exógena, como parte das implicações do regime de acumulação por espoliação da nova geopolítica instalada. Nessas modificações os processos celulares e moleculares reordenam o território através da instalação dos objetos técnicos. Se de um lado, a tecnosfera é composta pelos sistema de objetos, de outro, ela é comandada pela psicosfera, renino dascrenças, paixões e lugar dos sentidos, que comandando as emoções. Ela é verificada através da reconfiguração permanente das consciências, justificando o funcionamento da tecnosfera, através do uso do marketing e de algorítimos. Em todos os casos, as formas geográficas se comportam como o novo Cavalo de Troia, seja no sentido clássico, para designar a política de expropriação direta, ou seja, como a transformação interna provocada pela penetração dessas obras de engenharia, responsáveis pela expansão dos sistemas técnicos atuais nos países subdesenvolvidos. Aqui, no entanto, opta-se pelo neologismo da noção de cavalo grego vestido com as funções de navio negreiro, o novo navio negreiro. Uma vez que essas obras de engenharia são os elementos físicos necessários à produção e o atributo contabilizado como vantagem de localização, elas se tornam, de um lado, vantagens tecnológicas para capitalistas individuais e, de outro, instrumento de aprisionamento dos lugares pela escala global.

Authors: Apandi Ardhi Barkah , Fasa Muhammad Iqbal , Ja’far A.Kumedi 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRAK
Bitcoin adalah sistem pembayaran online dari uang elektronik peer-to-peer (P2P) yang dikirim langsung dari satu pihak ke pihak lain tanpa melalui lembaga keuangan. Di Indonesia Bitcoin tidak memiliki legalitas untuk dijadikan sebagai alat transaksi yang sah karena bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang nomor 7 tahun 2011 dan Peraturan Bank Indonesia nomor 17 tahun 2015 serta kepemilikan Bitcoin hanya dianggap sah apabila Bitcoin dijadikan sebagai asset kripto dalam bursa berjangka komoditi. Konsep Bitcoin menurut ulama Indonesia haram karena mengandung gharar dan dharar serta bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang. Gharar disebabkan karena penemu atau penciptanya tidak diketahui secara pasti, tidak adanya otoritas yang memastikan keabsahan transaksi, tidak memiliki nilai intrinsik, tidak memiliki validitas dalam sistem ekonomi, nilainya yang tidak stabil karena volatilitas yang tinggi, sulit untuk diawasi akibat ketidakjelasan pemiliki. Dharar disebabkan karena factor kemanan yang rentan akan peretasan, nilai yang fluktuatif sehingga harga bisa turun drastis dan merugikan pemilik, tidak adanya regulasi yang memberikan jaminan terlindung dari kerugian.
ABSTRACT
Bitcoin is an online payment system of peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic money sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Bitcoin does not have the legality to be used as a legal transaction tool because it is contrary to Undang-Undang nomor 7 of 2011 and Bank Indonesia Regulation number 17 of 2015 and Bitcoin ownership is only considered legal if Bitcoin is used as a crypto asset in the commodity futures exchange. The concept of Bitcoin according to Indonesian scholars is haram because it contains gharar and dharar and is against the law. Gharar is caused by the inventor or creator is not known with certainty, there is no authority to ensure the validity of transactions, has no intrinsic value, has no validity in the economic system, the value is unstable due to high volatility, difficult to announce due to the uncertainty of the owner. Dharar is caused by security factors that are vulnerable to hacking, fluctuating values ​​so that prices can drop drastically and harm the owner, there is no regulation that guarantees protection from losses.
