Введение. Заболеваемость, распространенность и смертность от рака шейки матки имеет тенденцию устойчивого роста. Всемирная организация здравоохранения приняла глобальную стратегию по элиминации рака шейки матки на период до 2030 г. Начиная с 2020 г. для раннего выявления цервикальной интраэпителиальной неоплазии система здравоохранения Республики Таджикистан внедрила визуальный скрининг на национальном уровне. Тестирование вируса папилломы человека (ВПЧ) в период активного внедрения визуального скрининга в связи с ограниченными ресурсами отнесен в качестве дополнительного теста с перспективой его более широкого применения для ВИЧ-инфицированных женщин и на городское население по мере доступности средств.
Цель исследования. Изучение наиболее распространенных канцерогенных типов вируса папилломы человека среди инфицированных женщин Таджикистана по данным обращений по поводу цервикальной интраэпителиальной неоплазии шейки матки.
Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняли участие 2 лаборатории страны, которые наладили систему забора, транспортировки и направления пациенток с доступом во всех регионах республики. Всего за период с 2017 г. по 2023 г. (6 лет) в обоих лабораториях выполнено 304990 ВПЧ тестов.
Результаты. Самым распространенным ВПЧ канцерогенного типа оказался 16 тип (в 23,3% наблюдений), в пять основных наиболее часто встречаемые типа вошли 18, 31, 39, 53 и 66 типы. В отличие от литературных данных 52 и 58 типы также были обнаружены, но по частоте шли после первых 5 типов ВПЧ.
Выводы. Первый опыт внедрения в систему диагностики ВПЧ тестирования для выявления предраковых и раковых заболеваний шейки матки является перспективным направлением. Пока получены общие данные о циркулировании онкогенных вирусов в стране. Данное исследование является основой для дальнейшего интегрирования ВПЧ тестирования в систему скрининга и диагностики РШМ в стране.

Published: July 2024

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) represents a group of disorders due to end organ resistance to the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and abnormalities in the PTH signalling pathway. PHP is characterized by hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphataemia, with or without a variable expression of physical features. The constellations of these physical features together are termed Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). PHP and related disorders are primarily clinical diagnoses in our setting as confirmatory laboratory testing is not widely available. Molecular genetics is the gold standard for confirmation and categorization of PHP into the different subtypes, but with recent advances in molecular diagnostics a pathophysiological approach appears to be more practical in the clinical setting. We present here the clinical course of a family of Pseudohypoparathyroidism who have been followed up at Paediatric Department of our hospital. The cases responded well with calcium and calcitriol supplementation without access to genetic testing in our hospital.

Published: July 2024

Background and Aim: Despite decades of research on co-occurring smoking and depression, cessation rates remain consistently lower for depressed smokers than for smokers in the general population, highlighting the need for theory-driven models of smoking and depression. This paper provides a systematic review with a particular focus on psychological states that disproportionately motivate smoking in depression, and frame an incentive learning theory account of smoking-depression co-occurrence. The objective of the study was to estimate the socio-demographic correlates of tobacco consumption and its association with depression.

Methodology: This is a cross sectional study.Over a period of one year around 120 depressed and tobacco dependent patients of age group 15 to 80 years were sampled from a tertiary care hospital in this study. Data on tobacco consumption and pattern was elicited from patients and household informants.Prevalence and socio- demographic profile of tobacco dependent depressed patients were used as outcome measures. Association between level of nicotine dependence and severity of depression was also assessed.

Results: It was observed that such patients were more associated with the male gender (Females; N=5<Male; N=115), with middle aged group, illiterate, lower middle socio-economic status. Alcohol intake (dependence and harmful use) was more common than other substance intake. In addition to this, there were greater number of depressed patients who had been taking tobacco for more than 10 years. N=66; (55%). They were more likely to use chewable form than smoking alone. N=56(46.7%) The results of HAMD revealed that more nicotine dependence were associated with the severe depression. N=35; (31.7%) It was also found that more number of depressed patients were associated with the moderate/severe dependence on nicotine N=59(49.2%) which was statistically significant. (p=0.001) Tobacco consumption was higher in poor, less educated populations.
Conclusion: The findings of the study highlight that higher nicotine dependence is associated with male smokers, low socio-economic status and low education and the moderate/severe level of depression.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the commonest infectious diseases in India, where control is difficult due to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). The rifampicin resistance (RR) is an important surrogate marker of MDR-TB. With increasing use of Xpert MTB/RIF a point of care molecular test for simultaneous detection of TB and resistance to rifampicin, a growing number of rifampicin resistant cases are being detected and notified. Traditional DST, on the other hand, is time-consuming, and there are significant issues with test consistency and drug stability in various culture media. The late detection of medication resistance could be a crucial factor in MDR-TB transmission. As a result, quick diagnostic assays are essential for efficient drug-resistant tuberculosis control. Hence the current study was aimed in determining the rate of rifampicin resistance in sputum smear positive cases by drug susceptibility testing (DST) using Lowenstein Jensen media (Proportion method) and comparing these results with that of CBNAAT results.

Bei der Instandsetzung historischer Stahlbetondecken am Flughafen Berlin Tempelhof erfolgen herausfordernde Planungs- und Bauleistungen, welche umfassende Voruntersuchungen am Bestand, Vorgaben des Denkmalschutzes und örtliche Besonderheiten im Kontext mit geltenden Normen berücksichtigen. Die Hangardecken werden für höhere Nutzlasten verstärkt und einer neuen Restnutzungsdauer zugeführt.

Für die Bemessung der mit bewehrtem Spritzbeton verstärkten Stahlbetondecken wurden durch Voruntersuchungen Schädigungsgrad, Werkstoffeigenschaften und Bewehrung auf etwa 9 260 m² Fläche analysiert. Im Folgenden werden die Ansätze der Nachweisführung für die filigrane Verstärkung vorgestellt. Für die Bauzustände werden modulare Abstützungen eingesetzt, um den Ausfall der unteren Bewehrungsebene auszugleichen und Verformungen zu minimieren. Die Betonoberfläche der in über 20 m Höhe über dem Hangarboden liegenden Decken wird durch Hochdruckwasserstrahlen vorbereitet, mit nicht rostender Bewehrung verstärkt und mit Spritzbeton reprofiliert. Dabei wird die historische Dicke der Stahlbetondecke von 18 cm nur geringfügig erhöht. Die Nachahmung der historischer Brettschalung schließt die Arbeiten ab.

Authors: Linhart Nahum , Yao Ivy , Yadavalli S. Karthik 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Here we present an open-source Python package, SupSpec, which aids in finding the velocity structure of spectral features throughout supernova (SN) ejecta. This code is designed to require minimal user interaction and can ingest an arbitrarily large number of spectra. By fitting a Gaussian distribution to the spectral sequence of a single SN over time, it finds the “velocity structure”—the evolution of the velocity of a specific absorption feature over time. SupSpec is available on GitHub and on Zenodo.
L’« analyse de variables » en sociologie
Authors: Blumer Herbert , Lacaze Lionel 
Published: July 2024

Il s'agit d'un examen critique des lacunes et les limites de la recherche empirique en sociologie, qui « cherche à réduire la vie de groupe à des variables et à leurs relations ». « [L’]analyse de variables » omet le processus d'interprétation et de définition qui se déroule dans l'interaction sociale et qui donne son caractère essentiel à la vie de groupe. Le point de vue de l’unité agissante échappe aux prémisses logiques de l'analyse de variables.
Cinémas politiques, lecture esthétique
Authors: Jaudon Raphaël 
Published: July 2024

Le cinéma politique ne cesse de résister à la possibilité d’une définition claire et unique malgré les nombreux travaux d’histoire et de théorie du cinéma qui lui sont consacrés. Il n’y a pas un mais des cinémas politiques, parfois très éloignés dans leur conception de l’engagement. Ce livre propose un panorama des manières d’envisager les relations entre cinéma et politique. Il mobilise pour cela des œuvres d’époques et de styles variés : cinéma social ou militant, fictions ou documentaires, films historiques, propagande, etc. L’auteur, en s’écartant des discours majoritaires existants, affirme la nécessité d’une lecture esthétique du cinéma politique. L’ouvrage s’articule autour de cinq thèses (Ce n’est pas le film qui est politique, mais la lecture qui en est faite – Toute poli­tique a son esthétique – Le cinéma et la politique se posent mutuellement des problèmes – Le film est une action – Le cinéma politique n’existe pas), qui sont autant de propositions pour repenser les qualités politiques des films, leur poten­tiel de subversion, et en fin de compte, leur capacité à transformer le monde.

Reliability of rubrics in the assessment of clinical oral presentation: A prospective controlled study
Authors: Moothedath Muhamood 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND:
Rubrics are assessment tools customarily designed to judge a student’s skills in diagnosis, clinical assessment, presentations. as well as academic performance. The aim of the present study was to assess the reliability of rubrics in clinical oral presentations by students.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was a prospective control study that enrolled 300 undergraduate students, students in their internships, and post-graduate students in various clinical streams. Ethical committee approval was obtained before finalizing the study from appropriate regulatory and institutional bodies. A pre-validated questionnaire was designed and distributed to all the participating students. All students were assessed using the traditional examination method as well as by rubric assessment. The responses obtained were compared and statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Chi-square statistical tool.

RESULTS:
Rubric assessment was found to have high statistical significance (P < 0.0001) when compared with the traditional method of examination.

CONCLUSION:
In the present study, rubrics were found to serve as an effective method for judging student skills following a clinical oral presentation. However, due to contradictory scientific evidence, there is a requirement for a large sample size to be included for rubric or traditional assessment method studies.

BACKGROUND:
Cognitive functions may play an important role in the management of obesity by promoting compliance towards lifestyle-related behaviours. This study aimed to identify cognitive deficits among adults and examine their association across different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories in an Indian setting.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The study is a cross-sectional survey of a sample attending a tertiary care hospital in northern India. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale was administered as part of an interview schedule to evaluate participants’ cognitive performance across eight domains. The responses were analyzed to investigate the association between BMI and total MoCA scores, as well as domain-specific MoCA scores.

RESULTS:
Three hundred forty-nine participants, with a mean age of 36.9 ± 10.9 years and a BMI of 26.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2, were recruited. BMI was found to be significantly associated with the total MoCA score, indicating a negative relationship (P < 0.001). A significant negative association was found between six domain-specific scores, namely visuospatial, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall (P < 0.001), orientation (P < 0.05), and BMI.

CONCLUSION:
An association between BMI and cognitive functioning (both overall and domain-specific) was observed, showing a dose-effect relationship. In these cases, visuospatial, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall, and orientation were found to be affected.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND:
The significance of assertiveness in promoting mental health is well acknowledged. To investigate the impact of assertiveness training on lowering anxiety, stress, and depression among college students at a private university in Cairo.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
In this study, three questionnaires were used: demographic, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), and Rathus Assertiveness Schedule. Students were randomly allocated to either a group that underwent assertiveness training (experimental group) or a control group. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was utilized with a pre- and post-assessment. The training program is an adapted version of DBT skills training. The training program includes mindfulness, assertiveness, and problem-solving skills through eight 90-min group sessions.

RESULTS:
There were (n = 50) students in the experimental group compared with (n = 50) the control group. Assertiveness group, in comparison with control group, resulted in significantly greater reductions in stress as shown in DASS scores (the effect size, d = 0.52, P < .000), anxiety (the effect size, d = 0.30, P < .000), depression (the effect size, d = 0.21, P < .000), and total scores of DASS (the effect size, d = 0.45, P < .000). Assertiveness group, in comparison with control group, resulted in significantly greater increase in assertiveness as shown in RAS scores (the effect size, d = 0.38, P < .000).

CONCLUSION:
It is possible that increasing an individual’s level of assertiveness might be a helpful strategy for reducing feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression.
