Intercostal artery perforator flaps for partial breast reconstruction after breast-conserving surgery
Authors: Fayed H.M. , Asal M.F. , Eldamaty A. , Alhussiny M. 
Published: October 2023

Introduction
Breast conservative surgery’s objectives include a thorough oncologic excision and a satisfactory aesthetic outcome. The greatest strategy to prevent undesirable aesthetic outcomes is to use oncoplastic procedures to do so during conservative surgery in one step. For small to medium-sized breasts (up to C or D cup size), volume replacement treatments are advised, particularly in cases of bigger tumors. This entails inserting tissue into the tumor excision defect from a nearby or distant site. Musculocutaneous flaps, fasciocutaneous flaps, and most recently ‘perforator’ skin flaps have all been used in autologous tissue restoration. Due to the intercostal artery’s strong blood supply, anterior and lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP) flaps are dependable tissue sources. These flaps have the benefit of being able to fill the resection cavity, preventing further deformities. The study aimed to assess the feasibility of intercostal artery perforator flaps in partial breast reconstruction following breast-conserving surgery.

Materials and methods
The study was carried out on 42 breast cancer patients admitted to the surgical oncology unit, at Alexandria Main University Hospital in the duration between January 2021 and December 2022. A modified lateral intercostal artery perforator flap (mLICAP) and anterior intercostal artery perforator flap (AICAP) were used depending on the tumor location within the breast. The postoperative assessment was done by another breast surgeon and by the patient.

Results
Modified LICAP was used in 37 patients and AICAP was used in 5 patients. 90.5% of patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes (85.7 gave excellent results). 69% of patients had excellent results based on the surgeon’s assessment. Complications were encountered in 11 patients in the form of seroma, hematoma, and minimal wound dehiscence.

Conclusion
Modified LICAP affords excellent access to the axilla and offers an option that facilitates both a pleasing aesthetic result and obviates the need for symmetrizing contralateral surgery to maintain breast symmetry. AICAP is a good option to partially reconstruct the breast following BCS for tumors located in the lower half of the breast.
A Critical Comment on T.S. Kuhn’s Views about the So-called Copernican Revolution and Several Current Prejudices – Barriers in Scientific Communities
Authors: Kokowski Michał 
Published: October 2023

The article is a case study on the views of the famous T.S. Kuhn about the so-called Copernican revolution. Generally, Kuhn is presented as a very successful historian and philosopher of science: an author of world bestsellers. The division among his supporters, i.e. about so-called left-wing and right-wing Kuhnians, is recalled, and the fact that Kuhn himself vehemently dissociated from a large proportion of his adherents. It is also noted here, that in the last 30 years, in addition to abundant hagiographic literature on T. S. Kuhn, there have also been a few critical studies of Kuhn’s achievements.
The rest of the article presents the author’s critical analysis of Kuhn’s views on the so-called Copernican Revolution, which formed the basis of Kuhn’s scheme of scientific development presented in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962); i.e. the world’s most famous monograph in social sciences and humanities so far.
The criticism encompasses a genesis, content and reception of Kuhn’s views and the development of his interpretations. The analysis is carried out by the means of methodology of historical sciences and a scientific method, which the author describes as the hypothetico-deductive method of correspondence thinking.
The criticism is based on the author’s current publications (developed here further on), which were sadly unnoticed by the researchers, although presented in the world center for the Copernican research, and are available on the Internet freely.
This fact leads the author to the assumption that international Kuhnian research is underdeveloped seriously and that strong prejudices – barriers may exist in scientific circles, such as, e.g., primacy of number of citations (and other bibliometric indicators) over content analysis, the Matthew effect, the effect of alleged and actual scientific centers and peripheries, some mental remnants of the Cold War, as well as underdevelopment of scientific communication.
Activity of the Committee of History of Mathematics at the Main Board of the Polish Mathematical Society in 1977–2000
Authors: Domoradzki Stanisław 
Published: October 2023

In the article, we present operation of the Commission for the History of Mathematics appointed by the Main Board of the Polish Mathematical Society. From 1997 to 2000, the Committee was continuously chaired by Dr. Zofia Pawlikowska-Brożek, PhD in mathematics at the Jagiellonian University in the field of History of Mathematics, a student of an outstanding mathematician and respected teacher, Professor Dr hab. Zdzisław Opial (1930–1974).
Based on the documents, that the author received from the Chair of the Commission, we present how the activities of the Commission contributed to initiation of research on the history of mathematics, and to e creation of a professional community of historians of mathematics in Poland.
The history of mathematics has been a discipline well known in Kraków since the times of Ludwik A. Birkenmajer (1855–1929). His activities were successfully continued by Z. Opial. The issues of Kraków center for history of mathematics were presented by Domoradzki 2020; and Kokowski 2020, among others.
An important inspiration for the activities of the Committee were initiatives undertaken by the Department of History of Science, Education, and Technology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in agreement with the Committee of the History of Science and Technology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, in which the Chairwoman of the Committee actively participated.
The materials presented in the work cover also the period before the establishment of the Commission for the History of Mathematics.
Ideological, Political, and Philosophical Foundations of Science and Industrial Policy of the German Green Party in the 1980 and 1990: the Case of “Soft Chemistry” (Sanfte Chemie)
Authors: Krasnodębski Marcin 
Published: October 2023

Sanfte Chemie, or soft chemistry, is a scientific and philosophical concept developed in the 1980s under the auspices of the German Green Party (Die Grünen). Its purpose was to thoroughly reconstruct not only the chemical industry but also chemistry as a science in the spirit of environmentalism. Soft chemistry followers wanted to forge a new scientific method and criticized what they called a Baconian-Cartesian paradigm in the philosophy of science. Even though the sanfte Chemie project ceased to be endorsed by the Green Party in the 1990s because of its radicalism, the history of epistemological foundations, on which the soft chemistry was built, gives us a privileged insight into a vision of chemical sciences as advocated by early proponents of sustainability and pioneers of environmental movements.
The article analyses sources of sanfte Chemie, highlighting plurality and complexity of scientific, philosophical, political and ideological traditions that served as its basis. The study of the eco-critical narratives on empirical sciences allows us to better understand subsequent political choices concerning science, industry and the environment in Germany. In particular, the article shows that the tradition on which sanfte Chemie was built, gives it the advantage over later concepts, such as green chemistry, that lack philosophical depth.
The purpose of the article is to question the relation between the philosophy of science and the practice of science and ponder whether different chemistry is possible at all.
The Misrepresentation of Petri Dish, as “petri” Dish, in the Scientific Literature
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. 
Published: October 2023

The Petri dish is, without a doubt, a very basic, yet important and popular tool in microbiological and other biomedical experiments. It serves primarily as a support or structural platform for placing, growing or testing biological specimens, whether these be microbiological, animal, plant or human.
Given its size, usually about 10 cm in diameter, the Petri dish is an ideal platform for cellular and tissue cultures.
Despite the commonality of Petri dishes, quite surprisingly, there is a pervasive error throughout the biomedical literature, namely its misspelling as “petri” dish. This is not a trivial issue since this dish is named after a scientist, Julius Richard Petri (1852–1921), so the upper-case “P” should not be represented as a lower-case “p”.
It is important to alert students and seasoned biomedical researchers, as well as the wider public, who might use this term, about the need to use the term Petri accurately, in order to respect its historical foundation.
To garner some appreciation of the extent of this error in the biomedical literature, a 2022 search on PubMed for either “Petri dish” or “petri dish” revealed 50 search results, 24 (or 48%) of which were of the latter, erroneous form in titles or abstracts. This suggests that the indicated error, which is in need of correction, may be widely pervasive in the biomedical literature.

Introduction: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been extensively studied as a prognostic factor for various diseases based on systemic inflammation. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is an obstetric problem that does not only occur in term pregnancies but can also occur in preterm pregnancies. One of the main etiologies for premature rupture of membranes is inflammation. Knowing the difference in the NLR between preterm prematurerupture of membranes (PPROM) and without PPROM is important to increase understanding of the crucial role of NLR in predicting the incidence of PPROM.
Method: This analytic case-control study compared NLR values ??in maternal blood serum between PPROM and without PPROM. This research was conducted in the emergencydelivery room and obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic at Prof. dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar from February to June 2022.
Results: A high NLR in maternal blood serum may be a risk factor for PPROM. Patients with a high NLR had a 4.5 times greater likelihood of experiencing PPROM than those with a low NLR (OR = 4.5; 95% CI = 1.4 – 13.83; p = 0.007).
Conclusion: A high NLR in maternal blood serum is a marker of inflammation with an increased risk of 4.5 times for the occurrence of PPROM.

Toddler age (1-3 years) is the golden age because children at
This age experience very rapid growth and development. One of the developmental tasks during toddlerhood is toilet training (Khaironi, 2018). Defecation or urination training for children really requires preparation for the mother, both physically, psychologically and intellectually. Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental approach with control group design. Pre-test and post-test control group research design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling involving 100 respondents. The results of data analysis using the Wilcoxone test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) for the variables knowledge, attitude, mother's actions, and child's abilities. Before or after being given intervention in the experimental group using video modeling. These results show that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected so it can be interpreted that there is an influence of providing video modeling on mother's knowledge, attitudes, actions, and child's abilities in the mother's readiness carry out toilet training at toddler age. Statistical test results in the control group shows a value of 0.002 (p<0.05) at knowledge variable which means the toilet training ability value In the control group there was an increase before and after administration intervention. Then on the variables of attitude, mother's actions, and child's abilities obtained was 0.001 (p<0.05). This means that there was an increase before and after the intervention was given the control group used the booklet.

O dilema do desenvolvimento econômico em meio à escassez de recursos e à dependência de exportações de commodities
Authors: Aguiar Filho Valentin , Aguiar Josélia Barros Lima 
Published: October 2023

Na escalada de desenvolvimento econômico de qualquer país, o emprego sustentável de recursos contribui significativamente para o aumento da produção e da renda per capita da população, além de viabilizar a geração de divisas, oriundas de receitas de exportações. Todavia, grande parte das nações em desenvolvimento não dispõem de volume e qualidade de recursos de produção suficientes para alavancar o crescimento de seu produto interno bruto, comprometendo a implementação de etapas de desenvolvimento econômico, inviabilizando a melhoria de qualidade de vida de sua população. Em outras nações, o valor econômico geralmente atribuído ao produto gerado, como, no caso das commodities, é muitas vezes subestimado, levando-as a um caminho insustentável de crescimento econômico. Assim, busca-se evidenciar, por meio deste estudo, que a escassez de recursos de produção, aliado à dependência de exportações de commodities gera movimentos de instabilidade nas reservas cambiais e incertezas macroeconômicas. Nesta perspectiva, pode-se inferir que a agregação de valor aos produtos gerados requer conhecimento, acesso à tecnologia, base infraestrutural satisfatória, adequado volume e qualidade de insumos, os quais uma economia dependente de commodities pode não dispor.

Authors: Okurut Micheal , Deya Jared 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the influence of strategic management practices on the performance of Uganda police force.
Methodology: A descriptive research design was used in which quantitative data collection approach was applied. The population of the study was 96 from which a sample of 63 was selected. The study used both stratified random sampling and purposive sampling to select staff members in their respective strata (top police officers, middle-level officers, and low-level officers). A structured questionnaire in a five likert scale format was used to collect data from the respondents. The collected data was analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Descriptive analysis involved frequencies and percentages for demographic data of respondents. Inferential statistics in the form of correlation and multiple regression analyses were employed.
Findings: Strategic management hold distinct positive relationships with performance of Uganda police. As strategic management increase, performance is likely to improve. These findings emphasize investing in strategic management initiatives to enhance overall organisational performance. The Uganda Police Force is regularly interactions with civilians, fostering increased citizen trust through community policing, which in turn enhances its effectiveness in law enforcement. There's high confidence in the police force's effective collaboration with experts, and collaborative projects are generally seen as successful. There are also community support for collaborative initiatives within the force. There is a well-established and highly effective crisis management plan in place, known and understood by the majority of its personnel. Uganda police force has an extensive staff capacity building plan in place, reflecting strong confidence in its commitment to enhancing personnel skills and knowledge.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theory of the public enforcement of law can be used to anchor future studies on the police administration sector. The study recommends that Uganda police force should address concerns about salary structures and remuneration fairness, as there is a substantial perception gap among personnel. Additionally, the force should maintain its commitment to personnel development through training and capacity building, given its positive impact on performance. Uganda Police Force should prioritize public awareness campaigns.

IntroductionCytokines are synthesized and released by immune system cells and mediate critical immune responses. Aging is associated with increased serum levels of some pro-inflammatory cytokines . A positive correlation between the concentration of several cytokines and blood pressure has been reported; higher cytokine concentrations may be related to the underlying causes of hypertension through the effects of inflammatory responses or as an independent etiology for hypertension .To assess the relationship between the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, with biochemical and anthropometric characteristics in healthy Iranian subjects.Material and methodsAnthropometric measurements and blood sampling were performed in 103 healthy Iranian participants. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), hs-CRP and lipid profile were measured in these participants. 12 serum cytokines/growth factors (MCP-1, TNF-α, EGF, IFN-γ, VEGF, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 were measured.ResultsFBG was positively associated with serum IL-2, IL-4 and IL-1α (P = 0.044, < 0.001 and = 0.017, respectively). Serum EGF and IL-4 were positively associated with age (P < 0.001). IL-8 was inversely associated with SBP (P = 0.002) and gender (P = 0.028). There was a positive association between VEGF and HDL (P = 0.007). The serum levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α were positively associated with serum TG (P = 0.018 and 0.006, respectively).ConclusionsThere are associations between various pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in serum and several anthropometric measurements.
