Deafness and Its Burdens - Prevention and Control
Authors: Aremu Dr. Shuaib Kayode 
Published: April 2019

There is high burden of deafness globally is largely preventable and may be avoidable.
Over 5% of the population of the world (466 million people) are living with disabling hearing loss (432 million adults and 34 million children).
In 2002 WHO noticed that hearing loss has become a burden globally and major attentions were being paid on children and youth with adult being neglected.
Hearing loss is the second most common cause of years lived with disability .Hearing impairment occurs when there is reduction in hearing acuity. Hearing impairment is a neglected chronic otological disorder with varying aetiology. Permanent childhood hearing loss is a significant health condition and its detection through screening with oto-acoustic emissions and/or auditory brainstem response is feasible and made early intervention possible and rewarding.
Nationwide disability surveys estimated that hearing loss is the second most common cause of disability. This has posed a greater challenge to the practice of otolaryngology worldwide. A lack of skilled manpower, human resources and diagnostic facilities make this problem a huge challenge.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive chronic disease, whose prevalence is steadily increasing worldwide. Although long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually, they cause serious damage or even life-threatening, especially when glycemic values are not controlled over time. In this article, we are presenting the case of a young patient, late diagnosed with T2DM, directly in a stage with chronic complications, which over time did not follow the indications recommended by doctors, leading to an undesired outcome, which may highlight the need for active screening of diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular risk factors, both in people with diabetes as well as in the general population, to prevent such events.

Published: April 2019

AbstractBackground and aims: The obesity and overweight rate among women of childbearing age and fetal macrosomia associated with different birth injuries are very frequent all over the world and with an increasing incidence. The huge amount of published literature on this topic in the last decade is putting the practioners in a very challenging position. Material and method: We have done a systematic review on the recent literature (last five years) based on science direct database. Results: A total of 5990 articles were identified and after successive exclusion of some of them, 48 were deeply analyzed. The results were grouped in following topics: risk factors for fetal macrosomia, the pathophysiology of macrosomia, prenatal clinical and lab diagnosis and prevention of macrosomia. Conclusions: Considering the maternal, fetal and neonatal complications of macrosomia, the counseling, and monitoring of the pregnant women risk group are of particular importance for adopting a low calorie / low glycemic diet and avoiding a sedentary behaviour. Long-term follow-up of the mother and the macrosomic baby is required because of the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome later in life.

Abstract
Background and aims: PREDATORR Study estimated diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence in Romania at 11.7%. MENTOR is the first national major study trying to determine the quality of the metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the therapeutic options used, and the microvascular and macrovascular complications prevalence in order to achieve a better management for Romanian patients with T2DM. Material and methods: The study was designed as an observational analytical, multicenter, prospective study. Study population was selected from T2DM patients stratified by: age, diabetes duration and gender. Data was collected in an eCRF: demographics, physical examination, cardiovascular evaluation, blood tests, known pathology, treatment. Results: There were 54.80% women, mean age was 60.53±7.39 years. The average BMI is over 30 kg/m2 with a decreasing trend over the age. 60% had their HbA1c over the threshold of 7%. Average blood pressure was less than 140/80 mmHg. 76,66% of T2DM subjects have at least one chronic complication. On oral therapy we have 55.44% of patients, on insulin only therapy 12.99% and on a combination of oral and insulin therapy 22.51%. Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence of diabetes complications and metabolic alterations (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc.). Age, male gender and diabetes duration were associated with a higher risk for poor metabolic control and complications. Further data will be collected over a 3 years period to obtain a better image over T2DM evolution in Romanian population.

Abstract, Lambanapu Site: Diaspora Austronesia In East Sumba. The research at Lambanapu Site aims to determine the position of Lambanapu in the distribution and development of Austronesian ancestors and their culture in Sumba. The method used is survey, excavation, analysis, and interpretation. The results of the research are skeletal findings and urn burial also artifacts which are pottery, beads, metal jewelry, and stone tools. From the dating result it is known that Lambanapu Site was inhabited at least 2.000 years ago and from paleantropology analysis, it is estimated that the individuals found from primary and secondary burial in Lambanapu are a mixture of Mongoloid and Australomelanesoid. Genetic mixing is very possible, given the history of the archipelago's occupation which was filled by several waves of great migration in the past. The Lambanapu site has provided an overview of Sumba's ancestral life in the context of the archipelago. The Lamabanapu research results show us, how Lambanapu and Sumba in general rich with historical and cultural values of the past that are very useful for today's life. The wealth of historical and cultural values is not only for local interests, but also to fill the rich history and culture of the archipelago, and even contribute to global history.

Published: April 2019

Amaç: Paraoksonaz-1 (PON1) HDL yapısında bulunan, HDL ve LDL’yi oksidasyondan koruyarak aterosklerotik lezyonlardaki oksidatif stresi azaltan antioksidan bir enzimdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlıklı kişilerin oral trigliserid tolerans testine (OTTT) verdikleri cevaba göre PON1 enziminin paraoksonaz, arilesteraz ve laktonaz aktivitelerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Gönüllüler, yaşları 18-55 arasında değişen 45 kadın ve 51 erkek olmak üzere toplam 96 sağlıklı bireyden oluşmaktadır. Gönüllüler, açlık ve OTTT sonrası 2, 4 ve 6’ncı saatlerdeki TG seviyeleri kullanılarak hesaplanan eğri altındaki alan (AUC) değerlerine göre üç farklı gruba ayrılmıştır. PON1 enzim aktiviteleri ve diğer parametreler OTTT cevabı düşük olan grup ile yüksek olan grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. PON1 enzim aktiviteleri spektrofotometrik metodlarla belirlendi. Bulgular: Erkeklerde üst grup ile alt grup karşılaştırıldığında aterojenik lipid profili, artmış total kolesterol ve LDL-K ile azalmış HDL-K düzeyleri gözlemlendi. PON1 laktonaz aktivitesi erkeklerde kadınlara göre anlamlı düşük bulundu (P&lt;0.05). PON1 laktonaz aktivitesi her iki cinste de OTTT süresince zamana bağlı olarak artış gösterdi. Kadınlarda, üst grupta PON1 arilesteraz aktivitesi alt gruba göre anlamlı yüksek bulundu (P&lt;0.022).

Sonuç: OTTT cevabı yüksek olan üst grupların aterojenik lipit profiline sahip oldukları gözlemlenmiştir. PON1 enzim aktivitelerinin oksidatif strese bir cevap olarak postprandial dönemde genellikle artış eğiliminde olduğu, ayrıntılı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulduğu düşünülmüştür.

La Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva es un enfoque de la rehabilitación comúnmente usado por el fisioterapeuta. Sin embargo, no existen estudios que evalúen el efecto de las técnicas de FNP dirigidas al agonista, como por ejemplo las contracciones repetidas de la forma más avanzada, a pesar de existir mecanismos neurofisiológicos que sustentan su aplicación. Objetivo: Describir el efecto de la Técnica de Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva– Contracciones Repetidas de la forma más avanzada sobre la fuerza del músculo dorsal ancho en mujeres universitarias sanas. Método: Se incluyeron 10 mujeres sanas entre 18-25 años de edad con notas musculares de 3 o 3+ en el examen muscular manual del músculo dorsal ancho. Se realizó el entrenamiento de la fuerza con la Técnica de Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva – Contracciones repetidas de la forma más avanzada (3 series de 8 repeticiones, 3 veces a la semana durante 8 semanas) en el miembro superior no dominante. Para el análisis se aplicaron la prueba Shapiro-Wilk, Levene y t-Student pareada (p<0.05). Resultados: Hubo un aumento significativo en la fuerza del músculo dorsal ancho después de la intervención (p=0,002418) en el miembro superior entrenado. Se observó un aumento no significativo en la fuerza del músculo dorsal ancho que no fue intervenido. Discusión: Se discute sobre varias de las características del entrenamiento tales como duración, componente en diagonal, movimiento voluntario repetido, y las implicaciones de estas sobre los resultados en la fuerza se comprenden a la luz de la evidencia disponible.
Linguistic Personality of Homo Ridens
Authors: Skryl Oksana , Sharun Yuliia 
Published: April 2019

The article is part of a more detailed study of a linguistic laughing personality (homo ridens) in British literature within the framework of the theory of anthropocentrism. The results of the scientific literature analysis aimed at the study of the concept of “linguistic personality” and “laughing linguistic personality”, in particular, are presented. From a wide range of examples starting from Chaucer up to the present we have selected the brightest characters in the English literature represented by W. Shakespeare and B. Shaw to highlight the main characteristics of the communicative style of homo ridens behavior. The analysis of the development of the personality is provided and the ways of achieving humorous effect in the process of communication in humorous discourse are given. The main factors of influence (psychological, social, cultural, etc.) on the formation of a laughing communicative personality are highlighted. The perception, understanding and interpretation of the world are covered within humorous discourse. Particular attention is paid to the intentions of comedians to use high-quality intellectual humor not only to create a humorous effect, but also for a philosophical explanation of the basic realities and laws of being. Shakespearean fools characterized as highly intellectual communicative people tend to influence their humor on the ruler and, thus, to the development of consciousness of the nation as a whole. Both linguistic and extra-linguistic means of expressing opinion by a laughing personality are analyzed. The analysis of the ‘quality’ of English humor has been carried out in order to show the influence of English fools as mimetic personalities on the British society in general. The ability of the communicative personality of homo ridens within the norms adopted by society to clearly reflect the realities of life of their era in a humorous form is characterized that further allows us to analyze the identity of the British comedian in diachrony.
The Problems of Psycholinguistic Research Methodology and Quantum Approach
Authors: Kholod Alexander 
Published: April 2019

In the article, the author analyzes the problem of lack of knowledge about what could be the research methods in psycholinguistics from the standpoint of quantum theories.
The purpose of the study is to establish the possibility of combining the theoretical potential of modern psycholinguistics and the proven tenets of quantum theories and the formulation of the tasks of the intended combination.
Both the dialectic and the metaphysical methods have become the research methodology. From among the general scientific the author chose methods of analysis and synthesis, classification. The research methodology included the following main procedures: identification of criteria by which it is possible to further classify existing methods related to the study of human nature, self-actualization of its internal resources to improve their own health, luck and safety; defining the tasks of the psycholinguistic research methodology within the framework of the quantum theories and areas of knowledge methodology; determination of the probabilistic correlation of psycholinguistic research methods and the potential of the methods of the quantum approach to the study of human nature and the construction of a table based on the mentioned correlation; identification of the tasks of the psycholinguistic research methodology, taking into account the potential of the methods associated with the study of quantum processes, paradoxes and effects; presentation of recommendations and tasks of psycholinguistics in the application of quantum-method methods.
In the conclusions of his study, the author found that the methods of psycholinguistics are based on a materialistic basis and cannot be adequate and relevant for quantum psychology, the methods of which are close to non-materialistic. That is why, according to the author, the methodology of quantum psychology should be adopted, declaring that the human brain is not a place of generation of his consciousness, but only an instrument of perception and interpretation of the products of consciousness.
Interactive Component in Oral Narratives of Preschool Children: on the Formulation of Hypothesis
Authors: Yurieva Nadezhda 
Published: April 2019

The article presents an effort to elaborate the hypothesis for the experimental research devoted to interactive component in the oral narratives of preschool children. It is vital for psycholinguistics to reach a close approach to understanding of the essence of narrative processes which have in ontogenesis their own specifics, and according to some researches, these specifics are presented in indirect character of the process of narrative creation by child in the form of his verbal interaction with an adult.
We assume that in order to reveal the ontogenetic cognitive discursive mechanisms involved in the process of narration, it is necessary to correlate the regularities of the verbal interaction of the participants in the narrative situation with the overall narrative tasks coming up in narrative process.
Mеthodology, purpose and tasks of the research are determined by experimentally-genetic method (L.S. Vygotsky) put forward as main requirements «differentiation of the analysis of a thing and analysis of the process», «genetic restoration of all moments of the process development». The following of these requirements means a close following of the process of narrative development in its dynamics and the peculiarities of its formation at different stages of child’s development, paying attention to frequency facts as well as facts overcoming the limits of «narrow» phenomenon – narrative text.
To work out the hypothesis the narrative material of the earlier made experiment with a group of 3 to 7 age children was used in which an adult took a passive part. The task was to tell the story. The material was not subjected to any analysis for the reason of the adult’s presence during the storytelling. The analysis of oral histories with interactive component included the following tasks: a) choose regular sequences of utterances in the dialogic interaction of child and adult; b) define the functional purpose of the adult’s utterance in the course in the child’s storytelling.
The obtained results show that the adult practically at every step of the child’s age is oriented on the child’s comprehension and analyzing episodes of the history, that is on child’s formation of his mental image of structural and event sequence in history. The results of the analysis enabled us to propose a hypothesis for the next research step in the field. Along the line of this hypothesis, in the verbal ontogenesis the very nature of oral story as a multifaceted phenomenon of the discursive activity of man brings up to the surface the inner mechanisms of narration which have dialogue basis.

El propósito de este artículo es exponer, describir y analizar una aerofoto histórica en resguardo del Centro Documental de Estudios sobre el Agua (CDEA), con fecha entre 1931 y 1934, que muestra la planicie tabasqueña y los cambios y permanencias en el paisaje. A partir de la identificación de los cuerpos de agua, edificios y usos del espacio, se realizó un análisis comparativo desde la historia ambiental el cual posibilitó comprender cómo tales modificaciones generaron que las inundaciones esperadas todos los años se convirtieran, durante el siglo XX, en desastres. Con esto, se pretende incentivar entre los historiadores el análisis del paisaje, necesario en la planicie costera del Golfo de México, sin perder de vista las experiencias culturales de reconocimiento territorial que han generado una “cultura del agua”.
