Prácticas escolarizadas de escritura en estudiantes de Letras hispánicas. Una descripción de la formación de sujetos letrados
Authors: Aguilar González Luz Eugenia , Fregoso Peralta Gilberto 
Published: June 2021

Este artículo describe algunas prácticas escolarizadas de escritura realizadas en la educación básica y media que efectuaron estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Letras Hispánicas. El objetivo es describir las prácticas de escritura más frecuentes durante dicha etapa escolar, así como el significado que los estudiantes les otorgan al incorporarlas en su proceso de aprendizaje y que los han formado como sujetos letrados. El trabajo toma sus bases teóricas de los Nuevos Estudios de Literacidad (NEL) y de los estudios de Escritura a través del Curriculum (WAC).Desde estas perspectivas se construyeron tres categorías analíticas: actividades escolares, revisión de la escritura y oralización de la escritura. Con ellas se diseñó un cuestionario de 15 preguntas de dos tipos: cerradas dicotómicas y abiertas. Las preguntas cerradas permiten conocer la frecuencia de tipos de escritos y de prácticas escolares específicas, y las abiertas ayudan a comprender la significación de los estudiantes sobre dichas prácticas. Se aplicó a un total de 67 estudiantes de primero, octavo y noveno semestres. Los resultados muestran que la escuela realiza prácticas letradas diversas y que están transitando de la alfabetizacióna la literacidad. Los estudiantes significan la escritura como una práctica discursiva, lo que los caracteriza como sujetos letrados.
The Dynamics of Hybridity in Diana Abu Jaber's The Language of Baklava and Life Without a Recipe
Authors: Jaber Salsabeel Jamal Said 
Published: June 2021

This study explores the portrayal of hybridity in Diana Abu Jaber's two memoirs, The Language of Baklava (2005) and Life without a Recipe (2016). Many researchers have dealt with the cultural issues that are portrayed in Diana Abu Jaber's novels, especially Crescent (2003) and Arabian Jazz (1993). This study is distinguished from previous studies by focusing on the cultural aspects that are portrayed in Abu Jaber's two memoirs. The main concern of this study is to shed light on Diana Abu Jaber's contributions to the exploration of the concept of hybridity in her memoirs from many aspects, such as the hybridity of identity and culture. Furthermore, it highlights the basic differences between the memoirs in portraying the influences of the mixed culture and identity in Diana Abu Jaber's life. On the other hand, this study tries to explore the influences of mixed parentage of the writer on her writing of the two novels and her depiction of hybridity in identity, culture and language. Her American mother and her Jordanian father are the main motivation for Abu Jaber to focus on the mixture between Arab- American cultures in her writing.

Lithuania's Demarcation of Information from Poland's Solidarity Movement in 1980-1981
Authors: Vaišnys Andrius 
Published: June 2021

The aim of the article: Despite the fact that everything we know in Polish history about the emergence of Solidarity [Polish: Solidarność], Polish trade unions, in 1980-1981, and the conflict with the communist totalitarian regime is described in sources as ‘the Polish Crisis’, the question remains open about the contemporaneous deepening communication crisis of the communist government in Lithuania, whose history had long – until the middle of the 20th century – been very closely linked to the development of Poland. From 1951 to 1989, Lithuania was separated from Poland by a double barbed-wire Soviet border barrier without any border crossing points. Nevertheless, the author proposes delving into what type of information control measures the Soviet regime used in influencing the Lithuanian people by undermining their interest in the workers’ strikes and the expanding trade union movement in Poland 40 years ago, trying to set Lithuanians against Polish society, and also how the media in the West helped renew the dialogue between Lithuanian and Polish diaspora organisations. Research methods: The author performed a content analysis of KGB documents in the Lithuanian Special Archives and examined the content of the Lithuanian SSR mass media and the mass media of the Lithuanian diaspora in the United States. Results and conclusions: The Soviet concept of security that was implemented by the repressive structure of the KGB was largely associated with the restriction of information, censorship and self-censorship of the population. However, it was also associated with the recruitment of Lithuanian citizens into ongoing cooperation with the secret service to collect data about Polish people who were ‘disloyal’ to the regime and transfer information to the security service of communist Poland, so the content of these reports must be disclosed. Cognitive value: Thus, the article provides the broader context, in which the content of the propaganda press is only one element of the system that controlled the public space.

Informing the increasing production of the health workforce in Bangladesh: evidence from a mapping exercise of health professional education institutions
Authors: Md Nuruzzaman - , Zapata Tomas , Rahman Md Masudur 
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to evaluate the trend of production (2007-2016) and associated factors of seven health professionals i.e. physicians, dentists, diploma nurses, bachelor nurses, midwives, medical assistants and medical technologists in Bangladesh. The study team adopted a mapping approach to geographically locate all the health professional education institutions recognized by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). This was supported by a mixed-method design combining qualitative (e.g. group discussions and key informant interviews) and quantitative (questionnaire survey) methods. From 2007 to 2016, a total of 107,406 students graduated from all seven professional categories. Out of the total, about 40% belonged to the MBBS physician, 6% dentists, 15% medical assistants, 18% medical technologists, 21% nurses, and only 1% to the midwives. So, a skill-mix imbalance exists at the production level. Though the production had been on rising last 10 years, the production of the physicians was higher than any other professional categories. Feminization of the workforce is prominent as there was an average 14% increase of the female doctors than the male. The increasing production of health professionals needs to be supported by proper planning and policy interventions in order to avoid distortion of skill mix. Growing feminization of the workforce is also another area that requires special attention on the development of gender-sensitive employment conditions.

Remedial Effects of Homeopathic Medicine in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media-Related Complications
Authors: Ahsan Nazmul , Sumit Ahmed Faisal , Bari Latiful , Akhand Anwarul Azim 
Published: June 2021

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is characterized by persistent otorrhoea from the middle ear through a perforated tympanic membrane. It is regarded as one of the most important causes of hearing impairment in developing countries. In many cases, treating CSOM with antibiotics generates fears of resistance. Unlike conventional antibiotics, homeopathic remedies are mostly free from side effects. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the effects of homeopathic medicines to treat CSOM patients. A total of 90 subjects were included in this study; among them, 60 were suffering from CSOM, and 30 were healthy controls. The CSOM patients were randomly assigned for the daily administration of homeopathic medicines such as tellurium metallicum in 6C potency (n=17), mercurius solubilis in 200C potency (n=13), and calcarea sulphurica in 30C potency (n=10) for 8 weeks. Ear suppuration was prevented in all of the patients treated with the medicines. More than 50% of the patients’ tympanic membrane perforation were healed by tellurium metallicum and calcarea sulphurica, however, no membrane healing was observed by mercuris solubilis. It was next examined whether the patients underwent hearing impairment compared to healthy control subjects. The average hearing thresholds of the control subjects (n=30) at 1, 4, 8, and 12 kHz frequencies were 13.55 ± 1.57, 15.58 ± 1.12, 27.58 ± 2.00, and 32.57 ± 2.45 dB SPL, respectively. When the average hearing thresholds of the CSOM patients (n=40) were measured at all of the above frequencies, the values became 30.25 ± 1.75, 36.80 ± 3.25, 50.75 ± 2.35, and 59.50 ± 2.96 dB SPL, respectively. This result indicated the loss of hearing in CSOM patients as the average hearing thresholds of the patients were significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the control subjects. Treatment for 8 weeks with all three homeopathic medicines significantly reduced (p<0.05) hearing thresholds of the patients at all the frequencies. This result demonstrated dramatic improvement in patients’ hearing by the homeopathic medicines. This study, therefore, provides conclusive evidence that homeopathic medicines prevent ear suppuration in CSOM patients as well as heal perforated membrane, and improve hearing.

Authors: Roy Anjan Kumar , Mou Sadia Islam , Kabir Humayun , Hasan Md Kamrul 
Published: June 2021

To minimize the outspread of COVID-19, the government announced the closure of all educational institutions on March 18, 2020, and it has continued since then. This extended break from educational institutes has affected the lives of students profoundly. Though face-to-face classes have been replaced by online classes, the effectiveness of the online learning system is impeded by poor technological infrastructure and stable internet access. Besides, important exams like board exams, university admission exams, and university semester exams have been suspended during this period resulting in session jam. Numerous students are also going through learning loss. Apart from academic loss, there have been reported augmented cases of child marriage, child labor, child abuse, malnutrition, and online abuse due to the extended shutdown. This protracted closure has also impacted students’ mental health, physical activity, and behavioral changes. Hence, there have been increased incidences of depression, mental disorders, and suicides. Considering all these aspects, now both parents and students intend to recommence the in-person classes supporting the reopening of all institutes.

Background: The Global pandemic COVID-19 affects mainly adult population with serious devastating effects in some of them, particularly those with chronic comorbidities. It is less common in children and rare in neonates.
Objectives: The aim of study was to identify the COVID-19 in neonates so that we can give proper emphasis on neonatal COVID-19.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from April 2020 to August 2020 at Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital in Bangladesh. Neonates with suspected COVID- 19 were tested for SARS-CoV-2 virus by RT- PCR and positive cases were included in the study. Data were collected and statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 26.
Results: Out of 1714 admitted neonates, 32 (2%) cases were COVID-19 positive. Male were 21(67%) and female were 11 (33%). Majority of the cases (28,88%) were at term. Twelve (38%) cases were from Dhaka and 20 (62%) cases came from outside Dhaka. Only 4(13%) cases were found positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus by RT- PCR within 3 days, among them 2 (6%) cases were within 24 hours of age. Nine cases (28%) were RT-PCR test positive within 4-7 days and 19 cases (59%) were RT-PCR positive within 8-28 days. Most of the cases belonged to neonatal medicine (24,75%) and 8(25%) cases were associated with surgical diseases. Sepsis was present in 17(53%) cases, perinatal asphyxia in 8(25%) and pneumonia in 6(19%) cases. Fourteen cases were discharged after improvement, 12 were referred to COVID-19 designated hospital, 2 cases were transferred to corona unit and 4 cases died.
Conclusion: In this study a good number of neonates were affected with COVID-19. Perinatal asphyxia, sepsis and pneumonia were common association with COVID-19. So for proper management and prevention of transmission of this disease, it should be properly addressed in neonates.

Published: June 2021

Background: Acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) is a leading cause of illness and death amongst children in developing countries. Electrolyte and acid-base disturbances play an important role in the associated morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: To observe the acid-base and electrolyte changes in moderate and severe dehydration in AWD in children.
Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Observation and Referral Unit of Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital from July 2018 to December 2018. Children below five years of age who came with acute diarrhoea with moderate to severe dehydration were included in the study. After admission 2ml of whole blood was collected with all aseptic measures at the time of insertion of intravenous cannula before giving intravenous fluids to measure serum levels of Na and K while arterial blood was also taken for analysis. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20.
Results: Total 125 AWD cases were admitted among them 98(78.4%) had moderate dehydration whereas 27(21.6%) had severe dehydration. Hyponatremic dehydration was present in 41(32.8%) cases. Among them 30(30.6%) had moderate dedydration and 11(40.4%) had severe dehydration, hypernatremic dehydration was present in 11.11% cases, hypokalemia was present in 54(43.2%) cases. Among them 42(42.86%) had moderate dedydration and 12(44.44%) had severe dehydration. Metabolic acidosis was present in 38(30.4%) cases [28(28.57%) in moderate dedydration and 10(37.04%) in severe dehydration]. The comparison of mean serum sodium and potassium value of the children with moderate and severe degrees of dehydration did not attain statistical significance, but there was a significant difference in bicarbonate concentration among moderate and severe dehydration cases (p=0.02).
Conclusion: Hyponatremia and hypokalamia was the commonest electrolyte abnormality among moderate to severe dehydration with AWD. Mean serum sodium and potassium of the children with moderate and severe degrees of dehydration did not attain statistical significance, but bicarbonate concentration was significantly low among severe dehydration cases.

Authors: Roy Hriday Ranjan , Islam Nabiul , Islam SM Saidul 
Published: June 2021

Background: Non Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) is being widely used by Family Planning Sector of Bangladesh for male sterilization. But when young persons with NSV needs reversal of the procedure (recanalization), they become frustrated hugely affecting the family harmony.
Aims and Objectives: To see the efficacy of recanalization of Vas Deferens of Non Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) Individuals. To establish confidence on national NSV program by assuring the scope of future reversal if needed.
Materials and methods: During the period of January 2017 to November 2019, we have analyzed the outcome of recanalization surgery of all cases of NSV individual which were referred to our urology team at Rangpur of Bangladesh. We excised the involved segment of Vas Deferens and stented it internally by No-1 prolene (Ethicon). Then end-to-end anastomoses were done by 7/0 vicryl (Ethicon). We collected articles from Hinari, Pubmed and Banglajol with extensive searches. We have compared our findings to the previously published articles.
Result- We found 91.9% success rate in this study with positive semen production. Pregnancies were achieved in wives of 72.9% of recanalized individuals. The most common causes of unsuccessful recanalizations are more than 7 years of NSV, knot in close proximity to epididymis, two or more knots and cord like Vas Deferens. One patient had significant hematoma leading to a failed outcome, otherwise there was no mentionable complication in this series.
Conclusion- Recanalization of Vas Deferens of NSV individuals can be done with high success rate and other centers of Bangladesh may take steps for further evaluation.
