Authors: Naik Sahana N. , K. S. Sunil Kumar , B. Girija 
Published: July 2018

Background: Ovarian tumors account for 30% of all cancers of female genital tract which represents the sixth most common cancer and fourth leading cause of death in women. The present study was done with an objective to determine the frequency and distribution of various ovarian tumors and to study their clinical and histopathological presentations.Methods: It is a retrospective observational study of patients with ovarian tumors subjected to surgery in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital from January 2005 to December 2015.Results: There were 642 cases comprising of 77.7% of neoplastic lesions and 22.3% of non-neoplastic lesions. Majority of the ovarian tumors (83%) were seen in the age group of 20 to 50 years. Mean age for ovarian tumors was 38 years. Among the neoplastic lesions 84% were benign, 14.2% were malignant and 1.8% were borderline tumors. Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest tumors (60.9%) followed by germ cell tumors (12.8%). Serous cystadenoma was the most common benign tumors (47.1%) followed by mucinous cystadenoma (18.4%). Among the ovarian malignant tumors; serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common (4.5%) followed by mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (2.6%). Chocolate cysts were the most common among the non-neoplastic lesions (36.4%).Conclusions: Ovarian neoplastic lesions were more common than non-neoplastic lesions. Benign ovarian tumors were common in reproductive age group. The mean age of occurrence for ovarian tumor was 38 years. The most common neoplasm was surface epithelial tumors, of which serous tumors was the commonest. Chocolate cysts were the most frequently encountered histopathological finding among the non-neoplastic lesions.
Dicephalus parapagus conjoined twin: a rare case with review of literature
Authors: Gothwal Meenakshi , Sharma Charu , Yadav Garima , Singh Pratibha , Raikar Sunil 
Published: July 2018

Conjoined twin is a rare complication seen in 1% of monochorionic twins and associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It occurs due to a division event at the primitive streak stage of the human embryonic development at about 13-14 days after fertilisation, in monochorionic monoamniotic gestations. Early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twin plays a very crucial role in the management and allows appropriate and timely counselling of couple regarding the different modes of management like early termination of pregnancy or continuation of pregnancy with post-natal surgery. Late diagnoses present with difficult options for parents and obstetrician too. Ultrasound plays a very crucial role in diagnosis of conjoined twin. We are reporting a case of 27 years old primigravida referred to our institute at 13 weeks of gestation with ultra-sonographic diagnosis of dicephalus parapagus conjoined twin and further confirmed after termination of pregnancy.
Carpal tunnel syndrome in females: pregnancy and lactation the major risk factors
Authors: Ganjoo Sandesh , Kaul Diptiman , Shah Parvaiz Ahmed 
Published: July 2018

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy. CTS is more common in the age group of 45-65 years and more common in women than men. Several factors cause CTS, including pregnancy and lactation.Methods: The study was conducted on 60 females with carpal tunnel syndrome. Each patient was subjected to detailed history and relevant clinical examination with emphasis on elaborate neurological examination. Informed consent regarding participation into the study was taken from the patients. Patients suspected of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome were subjected to nerve conduction study. Patients were classified into mild- moderate and severe carpal tunnel syndrome according to clinical and nerve conduction grading.Results: Out of 60 females, 21 were pregnant (35%) and 19 were lactating (31.7%). The mean age of presentation was 44.6±14.14 years with range from 22 to 63 years. Causes were attributed to Pregnancy (35%) lactation (31.7%), hypothyroidism (18.3%), occupational risk factors (15.85%) and gout (2.4%).Conclusions: Carpal tunnel syndrome has a high incidence in females. Sensory symptoms (paresthesia, numbness and nocturnal pain) were more common than symptoms of motor weakness. Dominant hand involvement was more common.

Authors: Natekar Ashwini , Basu Shubasis , Mondal Gautam , Pujari Maruti 
Published: July 2018

Fungal infections are commonly encountered in the female genital tract on routine cervical smear examination, the most common being candida. Cervico-vaginal aspergillosis infection is rarely reported. We report a case of aspergillus infection in an immunocompetent 55-year-old post-menopausal female who presented with white discharge per vaginum. Initially the cervical pap smears showed only inflammatory changes. On per speculum examination the cervix appeared congested and ulcerated. Cervical biopsy was performed which showed sheets and balls of aspergillus fungus with areas of necrosis. PAS staining further confirmed the diagnosis. Serological tests performed were negative. Patient was started on antifungal and repeat biopsy from cervix did not show any fungal hyphae.
Sociodemographic and clinical profile of human milk donors and their infants in a model human milk bank: a descriptive cross-sectional study
Authors: Balachandran Anitha M. , C. N. Kamalarathnam , S. Mangala Bharathi 
Published: July 2018

Background: Human milk banking depends on donations and characterization of donors seems important. We aimed to determine prevalence of human milk donors and profile of regular donors and their infants.Methods: Cross-sectional study done on human milk donors in model HMB in tertiary NICU for six months. Donors who had donated for more than 30% of their hospital stay considered as regular donors. Their sociodemographic and clinical profile along with their infant status recorded from history, examination and health records.Results: Prevalence of Human milk donors in our HMB was 71.3% and that of regular donors was 27.08%. 616 eligible to donate. 234 regular donors included separating 382 defaulters. Excluding 17, 217 regular donors enrolled. Religious beliefs did not deter donation. 65.43% had school education. 90% donors belonged to middle socioeconomic class. Three fourths already had 2 living children. Majority delivered vaginally (62.67%) in health facility offering level II neonatal NICU care (42.86%). Regular donors stayed in hospital with their sick infants for mean (SD) period of 13 (4.21) days. Mean (SD) Post-natal age of commencement of milk donation among regular donors was 9 (3.47) days. Breast-feeding rate was 87.09%. Regular donors had delivered very low birth weight (42.86%), SGA (53.46%) infants who stayed in hospital for mean (SD) duration 18 (6.86) days.Conclusions: The prevalence of Human milk donors in our HMB was 71.3%. Only one third of them were regular donors. No religious barriers for donation observed. Educated socioeconomically secure multiparous donors made sustained donations. Health status and length of Postnatal stay in hospital of mothers and infants seemed to have a bearing on sustained donation.
Socio-economic and Demographic Covariates of Infant Mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa: Application of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Regression Models
Authors: Bariagaber Dr. Hadgu 
Published: July 2018

The main thrust of the study is investigate the main socio-economic and demographic antecedents and proximate factors influencing Infant Mortality Levels and Patterns in Sub-Saharan African
The source of data of the study is largely from the 2001-2005 UNDP Human Development Reports, National Census Results, DHS data and Demographic survey results of Sub-Saharan African Countries.
The analytical techniques include analysis of univariate and bivaraite frequency distributions, ANOVA, correlation matrix and Multivariate regression models. Each country is taken as the unit of observation and a total of 42 countries are covered. The dependent variable is the level of Infant Mortality whereas 14 independent variables as the predictors influencing the Infant Mortality conditions are considered.
The model outputs suggested that all the fourteen independent covariates appeared to influence the levels of infant mortality positively or negatively, but in varying values of statistical significance, due to multicollinearity among the independent variables as manifested in the correlation matrix which appear to hinder clear understanding of the impact of each independent variable on infant mortality. However, the stepwise regression output identified the critical covariates of the infant mortality levels.
In conclusion, the study indicated that persistent high infant mortality level in the African -Continent has yet to continue for some decades before coming down to acceptable levels. The main reasons which largely appeared to maintain high Infant Mortality Levels among the Sub-Saharan Countries were noted to be the widespread poverty conditions and low level of health services and education in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, the high infant mortality in rural Africa has been observed to be influenced by high fertility level, family planning programmes, education and employment, among other background and proximate variables.
Teachers’ and Students’ Perceptions of Integrated Environmental Education in the Secondary School Curriculum for Managing Environmental Degradation in Machakos Sub County, Kenya
Authors: Chikati Timothy Mandila , Okendo (Phd) Evans Ogoti 
Published: July 2018

This study investigated implementation of integrated environmental education in the secondary school curriculum for managing environmental degradation in Machakos Sub-County. The study was thus informed by Fullan’s theory of educational change (1991, revised 2006, 2007). The theory views educational implementation as a model of interactions between characteristics of change (need clarity, complexity, quality & practicality) as independent variables on the one hand and teachers’ and students’ environmental literacy (awareness, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation) as dependent variables. The study employed cross-section survey design under the quantitative approach. Probability sampling designs were used to select participants of the study. The target population of this study included public secondary schools, principals, and teachers and form 4 students from public secondary schools in Machakos Sub-County. Instruments for data collection included questionnaires and document analysis schedules. Quantitative analysis techniques were used to analyse data. The t- test statistic was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05significance level. Study findings demonstrated that both teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the integrated environmental education in the secondary school curriculum were generally weak hence little attention was paid to adequate integration of EE in the school curriculum. This negatively impacted teachers’ and students’ involvement in and commitment to implementation of EE in the school curriculum hence the persistence of environmental degradation in Machakos Sub County. The study confirmed that some elements of environmental education were integrated in the subjects that were taught in the secondary school curriculum albeit inadequately and unevenly distributed, apparently marginalizing particularly climate change and land degradation hence reducing the crosscutting nature of EE. The study recommended that KICD should include a given percentage of EE topics in the curriculum; The Ministry of Education should clearly define environmental policies and prescribe them for schools.
Improving Your Argument By Identifying A Literature Gap
Authors: Slater Timothy F. 
Published: July 2018

More often than not, a peer-reviewed journal article’s literature review is a boring to read as it is to write. However, literature reviews do not need to be laborious for all involved. Instead, the best literature reviews offer a crisp view of a researcher’s landscape and succinctly provides a compelling case for critical research that needs to be done in order to move the field forward. In order to provide readers with a useful literature review, it is critical that authors avoid providing paragraph after paragraph describing a summative chronology of the topic in the literature, but instead provide a critical synthesis of what is known, and what is not known about a topic. In the end, if the reader is convinced of what will be known and advanced as a result of a researcher undertaking the considerable time and effort to conduct and publish a given study, the reader is much more likely to cite your paper downstream in their own work.

A nova pedagogia da hegemonia no contexto da globalização
Authors: Sanfelice José Luis 
Published: July 2018

O presente texto tem por pressuposto teórico a determinação das práticas e teorias pedagógicas, bem como das controvérsias epistemológicas, pela estrutura e superestrutura indissociáveis vigentes. O cenário é o da globalização econômica e cultural. Nesse cenário, destaca-se a pedagogia da hegemonia visando decifrar suas implicações na construção de um novo homem e de um novo consenso ideológico, político e social. Conclui-se que a pedagogia da hegemonia, desde o Estado educador, passando pelas igrejas, mídias e ONG's, tenta sedimentar a "ordem" mundial capitalista-burguesa como algo inevitável.

Cristiandad Muscular y Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes: la llegada del deporte a las colonias valdenses del Uruguay
Authors: Malán Paula 
Published: July 2018

En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, durante la época victoriana del Imperio Británico, surge, en el seno de la iglesia anglicana, el movimiento denominado Cristiandad Muscular. Este movimiento encuentra en la práctica deportiva el soporte material para promover e instaurar una nueva cultura o ethos corporal moderno, cristiano, masculino y muscular. El gentleman-amateur inglés encarna la imagen del nuevo ethos burgués que rápidamente se expande por la sociedad inglesa y sus colonias, y en el resto del mundo secular, moldeando el modo en que los estados modernos conciben el cuerpo y la educación corporal. Este trabajo indaga sobre la fundamentación de este proceso discursivo, su vínculo con la Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes, y su llegada a las colonias valdenses del Uruguay. Palabras clave: Cristiandad Muscular. Ethos. Deporte.

Regional Gas Supply System Considered from the Standpoint of System Analysis and Regularities of its Functioning
Authors: Mоroz D. R. , Hruntovich N. V. 
Published: July 2018

Investigation of the structure and the functional patterns of the regional gas supply systems is necessary for addressing a number of operational tasks, the main ones being the following: preparing requisitions for the planned volume of gas deliveries, project design for development and reconstruction of gas supply systems and gas storage facilities, developing of functional gas tariffs for different groups of customers. The regional gas supply system is considered from the standpoint of system analysis and presented as a complex dynamic system consisting of several subsystems. The balance structure of gas consumption in the region for the ten-year period and the patterns of daily gas consumption in the region depending on the average daily outdoor temperature for the two-year period have been studied. It is discovered that the power economy, industry and agriculture account for the largest share in the total gas consumption. The values of correlation coefficients between the outdoor air temperature and gas flow rate according to the elements of the balance structure are calculated. For the daily values of gas consumption for the needs of the population and housing-and-communal services, the highest correlation coefficient between the studied characteristics R is noted = (–0,98‒(–0,96)). Analysis of the matching fields of daily gas consumption in the region to the daily average temperature over a given one-year timeframe made it possible to identified two key areas, viz.: the area of operation of the heating system and the area of positive temperatures (the cheating system is off). For each of the areas, the dependences of the daily gas flow rate on the temperature and the effect of temperature changes on the gas consumption alteration were determined. It was found out that the temperature range from 0 to 10 °C corresponds to the zone of uncertain state of the regional gas supply system, since two areas overlap in this zone, viz.: the area of operation of the heating system and the area of positive temperatures.
