PHENOMENOLOGICAL AND OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE SPEECH COMPETENCE OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
Authors: SAADI K. , CHEKINA A. 
Published: December 2023

Based on a retrospective analysis of the academic discourse of several decades, the article shows that the term
“speech competence” has not received a commonly accepted definition, especially when it comes to the preschool age.
The study conducted by the authors has made it possible to determine the phenomenological characteristics of the preschoolers’
speech competence, considering it as a dynamic integral personal quality, manifested in the ability and willingness
to successfully listen, perceive and reproduce information, be engaged in conversation, express personal opinions
and points of view in the oral form in accordance with the age norm. Its lexical, phonological, grammatical, dialogical
and monological functional components have been identified and defined subject to pedagogical impact. These components
contain operational characteristics of the speech competence of preschoolers. The speech competence of preschool
children includes also the following meta-components: awareness of the ways and means of speech interaction; adequacy
of selection of available speech skills, their application in speech activity; orientation in a communication situation;
complex, variable and creative application of speech and non-speech means in accordance with the set goal. Following
the internal structure of the speech competence of preschool children in the educational process should make it more
systematic and the results of this process easier to measure in their complex, integrative wholeness.

Derrida Reads George Eliot: Ticks and Arrows on The Lifted Veil
Authors: McCormack Kathleen 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The personal library of Jacques Derrida, acquired by Princeton University in 2015, includes a richly annotated copy of George Eliot’s The Lifted Veil. Derrida’s marginal markings reveal preoccupations shared between Eliot’s narrator, Latimer, and the persona of his 2001 book Veils, specifically the allure of the unknown, the city of Prague as a volatile setting, certain versions of the veil they hold in common (in particular veil as shroud), and the inclination they share toward deconstructing binary oppositions (in particular life and death). Such connections justify the continued interest in Eliot by deconstructionists in this century, as well as K. M. Newton’s description of George Eliot as “proto-Derridean.”

Published: December 2023

A exposição de escândalos de corrupção, bem como a polarização política no Brasil desde as eleições de 2018, instalou uma aguda e profunda crise política e social no país. Esses conflitos também estiveram presentes nas redes sociais, que abriram caminho para discussões acaloradas entre políticos e o público em geral. Nesse contexto, nosso trabalho visa utilizar métodos computacionais para analisar dados de mídias sociais, a fim de identificar tópicos de mensagens políticas postadas por deputados brasileiros no período de 2013 a 2019. Para esta tarefa, adaptamos o modelo de tópico biterm (BTM ), um algoritmo que encontra modelos de tópicos em textos curtos, para permitir a análise de tópicos ao longo do tempo. A partir desse modelo, investigamos o comportamento dos políticos nas redes sociais (Twitter), identificando os principais assuntos discutidos ao longo do tempo. Nossa abordagem divide o período estudado em segmentos anuais e compara os modelos de tópicos de diferentes intervalos de tempo, construindo um gráfico de similaridade de tópicos. No que diz respeito à investigação da evolução dos temas temporais, nossos resultados mostraram que temas relacionados à crise política e atividades relacionadas à Câmara dos Deputados foram os mais discutidos pelos deputados no período estudado.

Authors: Kurysheva N. I. , Rodionova O. Ye. , Pomerantsev A. L. , Sharova G. A. 
Published: December 2023

PURPOSE. To compare the anatomical and functional effectiveness of lensectomy (LE) and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in patients with primary anterior chamber angle closure.METHODS. This prospective study included 120 patients aged 41 to 80 years (60 eyes — primary angle closure (PAC), 30 — primary angle closure suspects (PACs), 30 eyes — without ophthalmic pathology). 30 PAC eyes were treated using LE with intraocular lens implantation, and 30 eyes with LPI. All subjects underwent swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). The following parameters were analyzed: spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), Shaffer grade of angle opening, lens opacity, goniosyne chiae, choroidal thickness in the macular region, axial length (AL) of the eye, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV), iris curvature (ICurv), iris thickness at 750 µm from scleral spur (IT750), angle opening distance (AOD500, AOD750), iridotrabecular space area (TISA500, TISA750). Along with standard descriptive statistics methods, machine learning methods were used, including Data Driven Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogies (DD-SIMCA).RESULTS. Every third eye with PAC had reached control group values after LE (DD-SIMCA specificity 0.67), which was not the case after LPI (DD-SIMCA specificity 1.0) with the probability of getting into the control group estimated as 0.01. After LE, all parameters of the anterior chamber angle did not significantly differ from the norm (p>0.05 for all), while ACD, ICurv even exceeded the norm (p=0.000). After LPI, there was a deepening of the ACD (from 2.34±0.28 mm to 2.36±0.280 mm, p=0.000) and a decrease in LV (from 0.864±0.120 µm to 0.843±0.110 µm, p=0.000), however, the result comparable to control was achieved only in ICurv (p=1.000). After LE in PAC, all parameters, including uncorrected visual acuity, SE, ACD, LV, iris profile, Shaffer grade of angle opening, and AOD500, AOD750, TISA500, TISA750 parameters in the superior and inferior sectors had advantages over those in PACs without treatment (p<0.05). After LPI, an improvement in a number of pa rameters was also achieved compared to LPI: ICurv, Shaffer grade of angle opening, AOD500, AOD750, TISA500, TISA750 in the superior sectors and AOD500 in the inferior sector (p><0.05).CONCLUSION. The effectiveness of LE in PAC is higher than LPI due to the better postoperative anterior chamber topography and lower IOP. Both treatments, especially LE, improve these parameters compared to PACs. Lens extraction is the treatment of choice at the early stages of primary angle closure.

Published: December 2023

PURPOSE. To study the diagnostic effectiveness of an improved software version of the well-known authors' modification of Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry by comparing it with the previous software version and standard automated perimetry on the same contingent of healthy individuals and patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).METHODS. The study included 56 patients (105 eyes) (mean age 61±13.2 years) with POAG. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the stage of glaucoma: group 1 — early stage (39 eyes), group 2 — moderate (25 eyes), and group 3 — advanced (9 eyes) stage. The fourth (control) group included 32 eyes of 16 healthy people (average age 48.2±6.2 years). All study subjects underwent standard automated perimetry (SAP) on the Humphrey III visual field analyzer and non-standard perimetry in the form of our own modification of FDT perimetry and its improved software version — FDT VR version based on the new portable automatic perimeter "Stimulus" (OOO Total Vizhen, Russia). The optic nerve disc was evaluated on the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3.RESULTS. The software version of the authors' modification of FDT perimetry has been improved for liquid crystal monitors and adapted to the portable perimeter "Stimulus". When comparing diagnostic effectiveness, both variants of FDT perimetry are not inferior to SAP in sensitivity (87.6; 87.8 and 86.7%, respectively), and in terms of specificity (98.2; 98.1 and 84.4%, respectively) they are superior. A strong (r=0.99988) and reliable (p<0.05) correlation was found between the average values of light sensitivity for both variants of FDT perimetry.CONCLUSION. The introduction of FDT perimetry based on the new portable automatic perimeter "Stimulus" into widespread ophthalmological practice can contribute to improving the effectiveness of screening and early diagnosis of glaucoma.

BACKGROUNDHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major public health concern, particularly in Africa where HIV rates remain substantial. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of acquiring HIV, which has a significant impact on both maternal and child health.AIMTo review summarizes HIV seroprevalence among pregnant women in Africa. It also identifies regional and clinical characteristics that contribute to study-specific estimates variation.METHODSThe study included pregnant women from any African country or region, irrespective of their symptoms, and any study design conducted in any setting. Using electronic literature searches, articles published until February 2023 were reviewed. The quality of the included studies was evaluated. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to determine HIV pooled seroprevalence among pregnant women in Africa. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to identify potential sources of heterogeneity. Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochran's Q test and I2 statistics, and publication bias was assessed with Egger's test.RESULTSA total of 248 studies conducted between 1984 and 2020 were included in the quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis). Out of the total studies, 146 (58.9%) had a low risk of bias and 102 (41.1%) had a moderate risk of bias. No HIV-positive pregnant women died in the included studies. The overall HIV seroprevalence in pregnant women was estimated to be 9.3% [95% confidence interval (CI): 8.3-10.3]. The subgroup analysis showed statistically significant heterogeneity across subgroups (P < 0.001), with the highest seroprevalence observed in Southern Africa (29.4%, 95%CI: 26.5-32.4) and the lowest seroprevalence observed in Northern Africa (0.7%, 95%CI: 0.3-1.3).CONCLUSIONThe review found that HIV seroprevalence among pregnant women in African countries remains significant, particularly in Southern African countries. This review can inform the development of targeted public health interventions to address high HIV seroprevalence in pregnant women in African countries.
A infraestrutura escolar e a educação física: o jugo das políticas educacionais de financiamento
Authors: Ferreira Neto Rubem Barboza 
Published: December 2023

O objetivo da pesquisa foi estudar a influência dos recursos econômicos na infraestrutura escolar utilizada pelo componente curricular Educação Física, em cinco escolas públicas municipais dos anos finais do ensino fundamental, da cidade de Armação dos Búzios-RJ, Brasil. A fundamentação teórica da presente investigação possui como alicerce epistemológico o fenômeno da infraestrutura escolar, que será discutido à luz do materialismo histórico-dialético, tendo como contributo a concepção crítico-superadora da Educação Física. Foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa (GIBBS, 2009), no formato de estudo de casos múltiplos (YIN, 2001), com os dados sendo apreciados pela análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). Como técnica de recolha dos dados foram aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a cinco diretores escolares. A análise de conteúdo nos fez chegar a três categorias: recursos econômicos, procrastinação e investimentos. Os resultados apontam graves distorções e diferentes realidades em relação as políticas de educacionais de financiamento da educação básica das cinco escolas públicas municipais investigadas. Conclui-se que apenas três escolas possuem recursos econômicos oficiais, provenientes de repasses de verbas de programas do governo federal, como o Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola – PDDE. Por outro lado, outras duas escolas utilizam verbas provenientes de cantina escolar e contam com medidas paliativas e esporádicas da Secretaria Municipal de Educação – SEMED.

Authors: Nasution Faisal Akbar , Antariksa Bambang 
Published: December 2023

Objective: This paper aims to know about COVID-19 pandemic has become a global threat and spread of the virus reaches Indonesia and Malaysia. The response to Covid-19 has been governed by Indonesia and Malaysia laws and legislation. This paper aimed at assessing why was the legal response of Malaysia more successful in handling COVID-19 than that of Indonesia?

Method: This research used a normative legal method.

Result: The results revealed that (1) Indonesia and Malaysia issued new laws and regulations, but Indonesia uses a health and disaster management approach, whereas Malaysia uses a health and law enforcement approach; (2) The structure for handling COVID-19 in Indonesia is performed by the COVID-19 Task Force, while Malaysia is carried out by The National Security Council; (3) Indonesia imposes large-scale social restrictions, whereas Malaysia enforces the Movement Control Order.

Conclusion: This paper argues that Malaysia’s legal response through a health and law enforcement approach performed by The National Security Council has been more successful in reducing the number of victims and the spread of COVID-19. Indonesia can emulate Malaysia by using a law enforcement approach to dealing with COVID-19 in addition to a health and disaster management approach. Malaysia has been more successful in handling COVID-19 than Indonesia.
Harmonization of Indonesian Criminal Law Through the New Criminal Code Towards Humane Law
Authors: Mansar Adi , Lubis Ikhsan 
Published: December 2023

Objective: The material criminal law currently in effect in Indonesia is a criminal law inherited from the Dutch colonial era, promulgated by Law Number 1 of 1946, which is enforced in accordance with the principle of concordance, which means the application of existing laws in the Netherlands to Indonesia. The problem discussed in the research is How is Law 1/2023 on the Criminal Code harmonized which repeals the previous law? How does society respond to changes in the substance and type of punishment in the new Criminal Code.

Method: The method used in the form of normative juridical with a descriptive analytical approach. The new Criminal Code consists of 2 (two) books, namely Book One and Book Two. Book One of the Criminal Code contains 205 articles which regulate starting from the scope of application of criminal statutory provisions; criminal acts and criminal liability; convictions, penalties and actions; the abolition of prosecutorial authority and criminal implementation.

Result: The results concluded that the new Criminal Code regulates the application of unwritten laws such as customary law and customs, this would be contrary to the principle of "nullum delictum" which requires that a crime can be imposed if there is a law that first regulates it. The novelty of this research is the need to regulate what crimes can be resolved using unwritten law or customary law.

Conclusion: The conclusion obtained is that there is not yet harmony between the principles and substance that regulate actions and the type of punishment that will be imposed and there are various disapproving responses from the public because the criminal regulations in the new KHUP are not yet harmonious. Hopefully a new regulation will be formed or a new Criminal Code will be revised to create a harmonization of criminal law in the future.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment in patients with severe emphysema.
Methods: Between February 2016 and March 2019, a total of 20 severe emphysema patients (19 males, 1 female; mean age: 65.2±5.2 years; range, 52 to 73 years) who underwent bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment were included. Each patient underwent pre- and post-treatment (6 and 12 months) pulmonary function tests, 6-min walking distance, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scores, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide tests.
Results: An mean number of 12.0±3.8 coils was placed in each lobe. There were significant improvements in the patients' pulmonary function tests and quality of life 12 months after the treatment. There was a significant difference in dyspnea as assessed by the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scores 12 months after treatment compared to pre-treatment scores (p<0.05). There was no change in the pulmonary function tests six months after treatment, while a significant improvement was seen at 12 months (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment seems to be a promising modality for severe emphysema patients with significant improvements in the pulmonary function test results, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scores, and 6-min walking distance.
Effect of cardiac surgery on survival in patients with trisomy 18: A single-center experience
Authors: Çelik Mehmet , Gökdemir Mahmut , Cındık Nimet , Çağrı Günaydın Asım 
Published: December 2023

Background: In this study, we aimed to compare the results of operated patients diagnosed with trisomy 18 with those who were followed with medical treatment alone.
Methods: Between May 2014 and January 2022, a total of 18 patients (6 males, 12 females; median age: 39 days; range, 32 to 79 days) diagnosed with trisomy 18 were retrospectively analyzed. Patient data were obtained from the pediatric cardiovascular surgery digital database. The patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent surgery (n=10) and those who were followed with medical treatment (n=8).
Results: Cardiac pathology was detected in all 18 patients included in the study. Three (30%) patients in the surgical group and two (25%) patients in the medical treatment group were discharged and followed with medical treatment. One of the three patients discharged after surgery died during follow-up. The median survival in surgical and medical treatment groups was 150 (range, 75 to 308) days and eight (range, 3 to 51) days, respectively (p=0.009). While patients in the medical treatment group died due to multi-organ failure, those in surgical group died due to sepsis, heart failure, and respiratory failure.
Conclusion: Although cardiac surgery contributed positively to survival in patients with trisomy 18, the mortality rate was still high due to non-cardiac causes. We believe that a multidisciplinary approach would contribute positively to the treatment of this patient group with multi-organ failure and would aid in prolonging their life span.
