THE USE OF “IDENTITY PARADE” GAME AS A STRATEGY TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL IN DESCRIBING PEOPLE AT SECOND GRADE STUDENTS OF SMPI HASANUDDIN DAU MALANG
Authors: Lestari Rizky Fitri 
Published: March 2019

Speaking is the most fundamental skill in learning language. Unfortunately the researcher found the students’ speaking problem when she conducted preliminary study in SMP Hasanuddin. Therefore, the researcher decided to solve the problem by conducting Classroom Action Research (CAR) using “Identity Parade” game technique. It consists of four steps in 2 cycles, there are: planning of the action, implementing, observing, and reflecting of the action. The subject of this research were 17 students at eighth grade (VIIIB) . The instruments of this research were speaking test, observation check-list and questionnaire. The result of the the speaking test in this study described as; the students who passed the standard score in the preliminary study improved from 43.75% to 71.43% at the cycle 1 and 86.67% at the end of cycle 2. This case shows that there are significant improvement in students’ speaking skill and the learning process was stopped, because the score had met the minimum passing grade which is 75 %. Therefore, “Identity Parade” game had been proved that it could be one of teaching technique to improve the eighth graders’ speaking skill in describing people at SMPI Hasanuddin Dau Malang.
Intertextuality as Factor of Artistic Energy of Literary Work (Vasyl Holoborodko’s Poem “A Curved Dance”)
Authors: Klochek Hryhoriy 
Published: March 2019

The theoretical part of the paper outlines methodological principles applied within the analysis of intertextuality as a factor of artistic energy in Vasyl Holoborodko’s poem “A Curved Dance”. For this purpose, the necessary comments on intertextuality as a source of artistic energy have been made. The author of the paper shows the difference between systematic and structuralistic understanding of a literary work, and considers the actual problems of the systematic theory which defines ‘technique’ as a main unit of the expressive system (poetics). In this case the identification of the techniques is supported by the analysis of their expressive functions. The receptive poetics as a methodological doctrine is based on this perspective, the essence of which is modeling the influence of the expressive techniques of a literary work on the recipient in terms of the psychology of artistic perception.
The poem “A Curved Dance” have been analyzed as a complete, systematically organized text that begins to function in the process of the perception, generating a quite complete artistic world in the recipient’s mind. The artistic character of the poem is determined by many factors, but the most important of them is the main meaning, generated by the literary text, which may be defined as a dream about the perfect, full-fledged existence of the Ukrainian nation. The whole expressive system of the literary work contributes to creating it, while the dominant role is played by intertextual ‘implants’ in the author’s text, brought from some notable works, namely the image of the curved dance (intermedial moment), reminiscences from the folk song “Oy tam na hori zhentsi zhnut” (“Oh there on the hill harvestmen reap the harvest”) and “Slovo o polku Ihorevim” (“The Tale of Ihor’s Campaign”). They express the meaningful senses that substantially enrich the author’s text from the perspective of the psychology of artistic perception, giving it a hidden meaning, and therefore energy.
Borders of (Non-)Compromise: Oles Honchar in Reception of Ivan Koshelivets
Authors: Tarnashynska Liudmyla 
Published: March 2019

The paper traces the reception of O. Honchar’s personality and works in publications of the journal “Suchasnist” in 1960s–1990s. The author of the paper bases her research on the multi-genre publications by I. Koshelivets, which had utterly polemical tone, and reinforces her observations with the other scholars’ ideas regarding the speciﬁcs of interpreting the text.
Adhering to the presumption of fact and the aesthetic criteria for assessing the work of literature, a Western critic put his maxims against a historical background and in a broad European literary context.
Defending his anti-cult position in regard to the writer’s personality of O. Honchar, I. Koshelivets evaluated the works of the Ukrainian Soviet literature classic based on the ground of artistic truth exclusively. Despite the fact that O. Honchar mastered the language skillfully and had an indisputable gift of a writer, he always adhered to the ‘boundaries of the permitted’, which made him to limit the scope of themes and adhere to the artiﬁcial style with its varnished reality and false poetic ﬂavor. Paying tribute to the fact that O. Honchar supported the Ukrainian sixtiers and always had a pro-Ukrainian position, I. Koshelivets still kept his principled position for decades.
The critic considered the literary work of O. Honchar as a sample of socialist realism with its indisputable taboos. In particular, he analyzed in detail the most known Honchar’s novel “Cathedral”. According to I. Koshelivets, it got its fame mostly due to the party functionaries that made a relatively weak piece of literature a political event and gave it some extra-literary value, so that the issues of style and literary features became secondary. The author of the paper states that in the conditions of a totalitarian society and ideologically controlled literary process, the talent of O. Honchar couldn’t be realized properly, anyway.
This controversial topic of I. Koshelivets’s interpretation of the works by Ukrainian Soviet literature classic has been perceived within the oppositional literary-critical discourse as a kind of challenge undermining the ‘foundations’ of the national culture. Although without its detailed consideration the history of Ukrainian literature will be incomplete.
Methodological Isomorphism as Ivan Franko’s Style of Scholarly Thinking
Authors: Sinchenko Oleksiy 
Published: March 2019

The present paper tries to reconstruct Ivan Franko’s methodological thinking on the basis of his works and aims at synchronizing criteria, procedures and principles of proving and producing scholarly knowledge. The main purpose here is building isomorphic models of thinking and methodological instruction based on some Franko’s constants of the world view and understanding reality.
Franko as a scholar was interested in various ﬁelds: literary studies, ethnography, linguistics, philosophy, social economics, law, political science, history, statistics etc. He intended to create the ground for institutionalization of research work in Ukrainian society. His scholarly universalism allowed using the knowledge from different ﬁelds simultaneously in order to study the same subject from different perspectives. This subject was a society which he understood as the people, class, and individual in his activities.
At every stage of his methodological reﬂection, Franko adhered to clear determinism both in deﬁning the subject ﬁeld of research and in constructing his assertions. But the attempt to single out the subject knowledge in its pure form was complicated by the fact that he didn’t think of it separately from the sphere of application, and therefore he was focused on the methods related to the practical use and giving the opportunity of transferring the gained knowledge into the sphere of education.
In the deﬁnitions of scholarly work he used such characteristics as “thoroughness and precision”, “good care and logic of scholarly analysis”, facts, observations, descriptions, comparisons, criticism, analysis (more simple and versatile). These markers form a framework that makes it possible to reconstruct the style of his thinking as a methodologist.
In general, Franko’s style of scholarly thinking tended to inductivism. This style was determined by detailed description and study of empirical material with accurate statistical method; analogy and comparison through applying different kinds of scholarly languages; conceptual systems, often borrowed from the related spheres of knowledge, in particular notions of general methodology (evolution); interest in general research problems; search for transitional joints of sectorial methods, their conceptualization and approbation.

BIOMARKERS OF SEPSIS
Authors: Fomda Bashir Ahmad 
Published: March 2019

“Sepsis is a state caused by microbial invasion from a local infectious source into the blood stream which leads to signs of systemic illness in remote organs,” this was the first scientific definition of sepsis proposed by Dr. Schottmuller in 1914.Sepsis is among the most common causes of death in hospitalized patients. Its death toll is in the same range as that of myocardial infarction. 1 Early and reliable diagnosis is imperative, because of the remarkably rapid progression of sepsis into a life-threatening condition.2 Findings in a patient with suspected or proven infection include fever or hypothermia, tachypnea, tachycardia, leukocytosis or leucopenia, acutely altered mental status, thrombocytopenia, an elevated blood lactate level, respiratory alkalosis, or hypotensions. 3 JMS 2017; 20(1):2-4

Authors: Ali Humaira , Saldanha Cimona Lyn , Parveiz Tabasum , Khurshid Rabia 
Published: March 2019

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of oral (50 μg) and vaginal (25 μg) misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour. Two hundred patients with indications for labour induction randomly received either 50 μg oral misoprostol every 4 h (Group-I) or 25 μg vaginal misoprostol every 4 h (Group-II), for maximum of six doses. Mean induction to delivery time, delivery within 24 hrs, mode of delivery, oxytocin use, number of doses used, failed induction rate and maternal complication and fetal outcomes were compared for the two groups. Mean induction delivery time was significantly longer in Group-I (20.55±5.59 hrs) than in Group-II (16.70±7.12 hrs) (with mean difference of 3.85 and P-value of <0.001). Mean number of doses of misoprostol used for oral and vaginal misoprostol study populations were 2.61±0.94 and2.37±1.20respectively. Oxytocin augmentation was required in significantly more number of patients in oral group (80%) than in vaginal group (68%) with P-value of 0.027. There were 3 failed inductions in the oral and 4 in the vaginal group after a total of six doses of misoprostol. Incidence of maternal and fetal complications was similar between two groups. Our findings indicated that, 25μg vaginal misoprostol has the potential to induce labor as safely as, and more effectively than, 50 μg oral analogue. JMS 2017; 20(1):18-21

Authors: Vimesh Puja , Singh Shyam , Mehta Shivani , Chander Ramesh 
Published: March 2019

Background: With the evolution of anaesthesia and surgical procedures, fast track cardiac anaesthesia (FTCA) has gained an increased interest, mainly based on the possibility of reducing health costs without compromising patient care and wellbeingObjective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate different durations in Early Extubation (EE) like Aortic Cross Clamp Time (ACCT),Cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPB Time), Mechanical Ventilation Duration (MVD), Operation Room time (ORT), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and post ICU time as well as Total Hospital Stay Time (THST) in open heart procedures. This has been done to co-relate FTCA with lowering of hospital expenditure without compromising with morbidity and mortality.Methods: This is a “Prospective Cohort Study” comprising of a group of 80 patients who underwent open heart surgery in a Rural Cardiac Center, in 2014. After FTCA and surgical technique, we reviewed the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of Intensive Care Unit stay, reintubation, and incidence of in-hospital mortality and followed our cases prospectively till discharge from the hospital.Results : The group of Fast Track Cardiac Anaesthesia comprised of 80 patients. Range of ventilation duration (VD ) was 2-4 hours in 12.8%) to 8-10 hours in 9% cases; Aortic cross clamp time (ACCT) in minutes was 25-49 in 35% cases to 100-124 in 2.7% of cases. Similarly Range of Cardio- pulmonary Bypass Time (CPBT) in minutes 40-69 minutes in 21.6% to 160-190 minutes in 4% cases, surgery time (ST) in hours was 2-3 in 7.5% cases to 6-8 in 28.8 % cases; operation room time (ORT) in hours was 2-4 in 3.8% to 6-8 hours in 28.8% patients; ionotropic duration (ID) in hours was 2-5 in 20% to 18 to 24 hours in 6.3% cases; Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay in days was 1-2 days in 66.3% to 3-4 days in 3.8% cases ;and post ICU stay in days was 2-3 in 1.3% to 6-7 in 87.5% patients.Total hospital stay in days was 4-6 days in 4 case, 7-9 in 40 cases and 10-12 days in 36 cases.Reintubation was done only in 1 out of 78 cases. In our study there was no mortality. Conclusions :Fast track Cardiac anaesthesia is suitable with applied anesthetic technique in our centre. However there exists relatively small risk of re-intubation (1.3%). Small sample size is pointer towards a little lack of statistical strength of the study. JMS 2017; 20(1):22-30

Struma ovarii is a rare tumor of ovary which accounts for 1% of all ovarian tumors and 3% 0f all dermoid tumors. It belongs to the group of monodermal teratomas. We present a case of struma ovarii in a 55 year old women who presented with symptoms of pain in lower abdomen and loss of appetite for the last one month. Radiological investigations including USG, CT scan and MRI revealed a complex right adnexal lesion. Final diagnosis of struma ovarii was made on histopathological examination which revealed colloid filled thyroid follicles lined by cuboidal epithelium. JMS 2017; 20(1):41-43
Diphenylhydantoin Induced Severe Gingival Hyperplasia
Authors: Saleem Sheikh , Verma Sawan , Yousuf Irfan , Wani Mushtaq Ahmad , Asmi Ravouf 
Published: March 2019

Gingival overgrowth (GO) is a side effect, associated with some distinct classes of drugs, such as anticonvulsants, immunosuppressant, and calcium channel blockers. One of the main drugs associated with GO is the antiepileptic, diphenylhydantoin (DPH)/ phenytoin (1), which affects gingival tissues by altering extracellular matrix metabolism. Phenytoin (DPH)-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) due to chronic administration remains an unsolved problem especially in cases where this drug is taken without any supervision due usually to poor follow-up. Younger age groups experience more lesions than adults and in the mentally handicapped the prevalence appears to be highest. The most satisfactory treatment is the replacement of the drug by a safer antiepileptic. Patients who are to be maintained on DPH respond well to a program of meticulous oral hygiene at home along with frequent professional prophylaxes. We present a case of seizure disorder with mental retardation who developed severe gingival overgrowth wherein teeth are almost buried, caused by unsupervised intake of phenytoin.

Hepatitis in Developing Countries: Still a Scourge.
Authors: Masoodi Shariq Rashid 
Published: March 2019

Screening is defined as the application of a diagnostic test to an asymptomatic population in order to detect a disease at a stage when intervention may improve its outcome and natural history.1 In simpler terms, screening is a strategy that is used in a population to identify the likely presence of an as-yet-undiagnosed sickness in individuals without its signs or symptoms. By itself, screening tests are somewhat unusual in that they are performed on people who are apparently in good health. However, screening interventions are intended for early identification of disease in a population, that may enable earlier intervention and treatment. The idea is to reduce mortality and suffering from a disease through early detection and management. Whereas screening may lead to an earlier diagnosis, the testing may not necessarily prove beneficial to person being screened. Apart from the issues of over- and mis-diagnosis, and inappropriate use or overuse, screening may create a false sense of security. Though screening strategies are never designed to be diagnostic, how to deal with false positive and false negative results remains an issue. JMS 2017;20(2):55-56

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus is a small DNA virus that belongs to Hepadnaviridae family. Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is a major global health problem. It can cause chronic liver disease and chronic infection and put people at high risk of death from cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. More than 400 million people have chronic (long-term) liver infections. About a million people die every year due to the acute or chronic consequences of hepatitis B. High rates of chronic infections are found in the Amazon and the southern parts of eastern and central Europe. In the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, an estimated 2–5% of the general population is chronically infected. Not many community based studies are available from our country and none from the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of Hepatitis-B among adult population in South Kashmir.
METHODS: This community based, cross sectional study was conducted in four districts of South Kashmir over a period of one and half years by using HEPACARD kit (immunochromatography method), product code HB010020, HB010100, manufactured by J. MITRA & CO. PVT. The HEPACARD kit has a sensitivity of 99% and specificity of 97.8%.
RESULTS: Out of 5533 subjects screened for HBsAg, 2976 were males and 2557 were females. Out of total 5533 subjects, 133 tested positive for HBsAg, constituting a total prevalence of 2.40%. Out of 2976 males, 66 (2.21%) tested positive for HBsAg and among 2557 females, 67(2.62%) tested positive for HBsAg.
CONCLUSION: Overall prevalence of Hepatitis B was 2.4% in this study from South Kashmir; 2.21% in males and 2.62% in females. JMS 2017;20(2):82-89

Authors: Manzoor Sobia , Zahoor Syed Amer , Rather Jan Mohammad 
Published: March 2019

Malignant Hyperthermia(MH) is a hypermetabolic syndrome which is quite rare in India. Inhalational anesthetics and succinyl choline have been reported as potent triggering agents of MH. Dantrolene remains the gold standard for treating this life-threatening syndrome.
We encountered a case of malignant hyperthermia in a 34-year-old male undergoing ventricular septal defect closure under general anesthesia. We successfully managed our patient by timely recognition of this syndrome and by administering prompt, effective symptomatic treatment and without dantrolene which was not available in our hospital.

Lymph node dissection in colon cancer is without a doubt necessary, it is just the extent of that dissection that is still under debate. As the individual steps of an oncologic operation cannot be separated from each other, analysis of the significance of lymph node dissection alone is difficult. It has been proven that the T category is directly related to the number and central spread of lymph node metastases. Micrometastases and isolated tumor cells may be detected in lymph nodes by using special staining techniques; their presence may worsen prognosis significantly and approximate it to UICC stage III. The numbers of dissected lymph nodes and the ratio of involved versus dissected lymph nodes have been used as markers for quality of surgery and histopathological evaluation. JMS 2018: 21 (2):109-113
