Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a gynecological and endocrine disorder closely linked with one’s lifestyle, has been impacted by the lockdowns imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Hence, our objective was to study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lifestyle and the manifestations of women with PCOS, and the association between them.Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional study was carried out among women diagnosed with PCOS via Rotterdam's criteria using predesigned semi-structured questionnaires via social media. Data was analysed using proportions and Chi-square tests.Results: Majority females were between 20-29 years (78.3%) and obese (54.8%). Only 12 were physically active, with lack of motivation being the commonest reason for not exercising. 66.9% gained weight (average 6.62 kg). 72.6% noticed an increase in stress levels. 51.7% and 25.9% had severe and moderate anxiety respectively as per GAD (Generalized Anxiety Depression) score. Only 28.5% were satisfied with their sleep. 62.4% reported having irregular menstrual cycles, with an increase of 4.6% from before the pandemic. 39.2% women reported to have missed cycles often during the pandemic. 35.4% of women had an increase in hirsutism. A significant association was found between regularity of menses and one’s weight, physical activity and anxiety. Stress levels and sleep were found to be associated with change in the pattern of body hair.Conclusions: Overall compared to the pre-pandemic times, lifestyle deteriorated, with worsening of stress levels, physical activity, sleep and weight gain in spite of improvement in diet. Manifestations of PCOS showed exaggerated menstrual symptoms and increased hirsutism.

Based on the patient's age, eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) has different clinical manifestations. Infants and young children frequently have vague manifestations such difficulty eating, nausea, and discomfort in the abdomen. Despite having symptoms that resemble gastroesophageal reflux, children with EE, do not respond to intensive ant reflux medication. Dysphagia and food impaction became the most common symptoms in adults and adolescents. EE should also be considered when treating adults and children who continue to have heartburn. Pediatric and adult patients frequently have concurrent allergy disorders such asthma, rhinitis, and eczema, in addition to peripheral eosinophilia and increased total blood IgE levels. Mucosal oedema, furrows, exudates, corrugated bands, strictures, and the alleged "crepe paper sign" are some of the endoscopic characteristics of EE. EE is widely seen as a distinct condition from reflux disorder. According to current understanding, the former could be a symptom of eosinophilic gastroenteritis or be induced by cell-mediated food hypersensitivity. Reports back up the effectiveness of steroid treatment or food restriction. To ascertain the cause, enable early clinical identification, and enhance treatment, more research is required.

It has been solidified by science that dental decay is transmittable. Despite improvements in other age groups, there is indication that dental decay in young children is on the rise. There has not been an improvement in practice as a result of risk assessment research. Although definite trials are required, antiseptics, chlorhexidine varnish, and polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (PVI-I) may be useful. Despite not being extensively distributed to the most vulnerable, fluorides continue to be the most beneficial interventions. Although conclusive trials have not been carried out, fluoride varnish is a fairly efficient topical preventative for young children. The promise of silver diamine fluoride must be studied in the US. Xylitol is safe and reliable, according to the data, although it is not widely used. Despite numerous studies, wide adoption of dental sealants has not taken place, despite being a fundamental component of public policy. We draw the conclusion that while research has demonstrated the negative public health impact of tooth decay, not enough of it has been conducted to address the growing incidence of pediatric dental disease globally. Technology must be translated from studies to practice in order to stop childhood teeth decay. This should include conducting translational studies and putting the latest technological and scientific developments into use.
Health insurance: Uptake, perception and its determinants among health care seekers at a tertiary care hospital in Lucknow, India

Published: December 2022

Health Insurance has come to the forefront of Public Health Policy with the launch of Ayushman Bharat. Government spending on health is dismal compared to other countries, even within the same income bracket, and health insurance is being proposed as the way out. Although health insurance is not a new concept, people are still unfamiliar with it. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the utilization, awareness and perception regarding health insurance policies in patients attending OPD at a Tertiary Care Hospital.It was a cross-sectional study carried out among the patients attending the outpatient department of a Tertiary Care Hospital, Lucknow from October 2020 to January 2021. Study participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Though the majority (84.3%) of the participants had heard about the existence of health insurance policies, only one-third (33.6%) of the participants were covered under health insurance policy. Inadequate knowledge regarding benefits, low income, preference for other investments, and no felt need were some of the barriers to subscription.Inadequate knowledge regarding health insurance among health care seekers is a major roadblock in the government's ambitious project of Ayushman Bharat and other health insurance schemes. Emphasis should be given to educating the people regarding their rights and the benefits of health insurance.
Pluralism is not Enough for Tolerance. Philosophical and Psychological Reflections on Pluralism and Tolerance
Authors: Gasser Georg 
Published: December 2022

The issue of religious tolerance is increasingly raised in a globalized world with societies becoming more and more religiously diverse and inhomogeneous. Religious tolerance can be defined as the practice of accepting others as acting in accordance with their religious belief system. Philosophers have recently begun to study more thoroughly the relationship between religious pluralism and religious (in)tolerance with a main focus on the epistemic question of whether the recognition of and reflection on religious pluralism might lead to greater religious tolerance. The major thrust of this idea is that any genuine reflection of a person about her epistemic peers adhering to other religions will weaken the person’s epistemic justificatory basis for believing that her own religious beliefs are better warranted than the religious beliefs of her peers.
The rational consequence of the recognition of this justificatory fact, in turn, should lead to more religious tolerance and to a weakened dismissive attitude towards adherents of other religions. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the plausibility of this account against the background of existing empirical, in particular psychological literature: Does increased contact with adherents of other religious traditions indeed lead to more tolerance? How are we able to show a deeper understanding for people with different religious beliefs and to take on—at least partially—their perspective? What are potential psychological obstacles to these achievements? Resources from research on intergroup toleration, social identity-theories, developmental psychology and personality traits will be used for tackling these questions. This shall help to broaden the so far rather narrow epistemic philosophical perspective on religious pluralism and (in)tolerance by embedding it into the larger context of constitutive traits of the human psyche.

Published: December 2022

Objetivo: mapear o acesso ao diagnóstico e os impactos no cuidado em mulheres com câncer de mama em um serviço de referência estadual no nordeste do Brasil. Métodos: Abordagem qualitativa exploratória, com dados coletados por meio de entrevista a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado. O local escolhido para a coleta dos dados foi um Centro Estadual de Oncologia. A amostra foi composta por 11 participantes, embasando-se na saturação das respostas para a sua composição. A interpretação de dados foi realizada pelo método de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: As entrevistas revelam que a produção do diagnóstico em câncer de mama se inicia por diversos caminhos, um deles é por meio dos mutirões de mamografia, ou seja, através de campanhas focalizadas. Nesse percurso, as mulheres acessam diferentes pontos da rede de atenção, enfrentando as lacunas deixadas pelos serviços de saúde, como o déficit de comunicação e a fragmentação do cuidado. Portanto, é necessário que haja uma interlocução efetiva entre os serviços, visando minimizar os atrasos no diagnóstico e no início da terapêutica, possibilitando, assim, a continuidade da atenção. Conclusões: O diagnóstico do câncer por muitas vezes ainda é realizado por campanhas de detecção, mas, para tanto, há ainda itinerários produzidos por estas mulheres com muitas barreiras que dificultam o acesso aos resultados. Uma dessas barreiras é a comunicação, a qual se estabelece um obstáculo importante para continuidade do cuidado e consequentemente a resolutividade precoce desta condição de saúde.
Derechos Humanos y protesta social: una relación compleja y necesaria. Introducción al monográfico
Authors: Aguirre Mariano 
Published: December 2022

La protesta social ha estado presente en la vida política de más de un centenar de países en los últimos 20 años. En este número monográfico del Deusto Journal of Human Rights se analizan las relaciones entre derechos humanos y protesta, con especial atención a los de segunda generación, derechos humanos y violencia, y los mecanismos con que cuentan estados y sociedades civiles para gestionar las demandas de cambio social. Tomando en particular el caso de América Latina se analizan diversas formas de protesta y múltiples dilemas que generan. Así también, se presentan casos específicos de protestas de familiares de presos políticos en Egipto, la protesta ante el ascenso de la ultraderecha en Estados Unidos y la protesta transgeneracional en Argentina frente a los desaparecidos por la dictadura militar de 1976.

El movimiento actual por la justicia racial en Estados Unidos se construye sobre una larga tradición y sus prácticas de protesta militante y no violenta que incorporan elementos de la acción directa usada por el movimiento por los derechos civiles y de las críticas al racismo sistémico que se asocian a los movimientos del Poder Negro. Al frente de esta nueva generación está Black Lives Matter, creado en 2013. El movimiento contra la desigualdad y el supremacismo blanco es de resistencia y no solamente de igualdad de derechos.
The role of protests on the journey to a politics without violence
Authors: Pearce Jenny , Garzón Vallejo Iván 
Published: December 2022

This article explores the relationship between protest, violence and the possibility of a politics without violence. It argues that protest is not only a valid but also a necessary vehicle for the journey towards a politics without violence. Nevertheless, violence can emerge within protests as well as in response to them. The article will propose a thinking tool for understanding violence as a phenomenon with multiple expressions. It discusses movements to de-sanction violence and the research that has highlighted the role of non-violent protest, constructive nonviolent action and civil resistance in the history of social change. It will reflect on recent data bases which record the rise in protests in recent years and the role of violence within them. Finally, it will take the social protests in Chile and Colombia in 2019 and 2021, where although violence erupted mainly as vandalism and looting, with severe violent police responses, both protests, we argue, contributed to delineating a politics without violence through generating intermediation channels between the demands of the street and the institutional mechanisms for processing social change.

Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo y la búsqueda de los niños apropiados: repertorios de acción y estrategias políticas en dictadura y democracia
Authors: Laino Sanchis Fabricio 
Published: December 2022

En este artículo nos proponemos abordar los orígenes y el desarrollo histórico del activismo de Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, organización argentina de defensa de los derechos humanos que brega por la localización, identificación y restitución a sus familias biológicas de los niños y las niñas apropiadas por las Fuerzas Armadas y de Seguridad durante la última dictadura en ese país. Nos detendremos en la conformación histórica de la organización, primero como un grupo dentro de Madres de Plaza de Mayo y luego como una asociación independiente. Analizaremos las tácticas y el repertorio de acción que sus integrantes desplegaron durante la vigencia del régimen militar para buscar a sus nietos y nietas e instalar la denuncia de su desaparición, a nivel nacional e internacional. Por último, abordaremos cómo fue cambiando el repertorio de acción y discursivo de la organización desde la posdictadura hasta los años 2000.

Published: December 2022

O estudo acerca da qualidade do ar no interior de ambientes tem se intensificado nas últimas décadas frente a preocupação da exposição humana à agentes físicos, químicos ou biológicos presentes nos ambientes, além dos possíveis efeitos deletérios a saúde de seus ocupantes. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade do ar no interior do ônibus, não climatizado, do transporte coletivo de Cuiabá capital do estado de Mato Grosso. Para tanto, monitorou-se as concentrações de dióxido de carbono (CO2) em três pontos predefinidos nos horários matutino, vespertino e noturno em três dias úteis consecutivos no mês de agosto (seco) de 2018 e no mês de fevereiro (chuvoso) de 2019. Os resultados foram comparados aos valores de referência descritos na Resolução ANVISA n°09/2003. Nos resultados, de um total de 18 (dezoito) coletas, o limite máximo normatizado de 1000 ppm para as concentrações de CO2, foi ultrapassado uma vez e registrado no P1 (1082 ppm) horário matutino do período seco, porém, em outras três coletas foram identificadas altas concentrações, sendo no P2 (989 ppm) horário noturno período seco, os demais registros foram no período chuvoso, P3 (906 ppm) horário vespertino e P2 (950 ppm) no horário noturno. É possível inferir que as concentrações CO2 apesar de estarem em consonância ao limite normatizado pela RE/ ANVISA n°09/2003, em três amostragens foram registrados valores superiores a 900 ppm, não descartando indícios da ineficiência do sistema de ventilação em relação a diluição das concentrações de poluentes no interior do veículo.
Antagonizmy narodowościowe II RP a bezpieczeństwo państwa — kazus ukraiński w Małopolsce Wschodniej. Przyczynek do dyskusji
Authors: Landmann Tomasz 
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to identify and characterize selected sources of national antagonisms of the Second Polish Republic through Ukrainian activities in Eastern Lesser Poland. The considerations are based on archival material and critical analysis of scientific literature.
A thesis was put forward that the actions taken to materialize the Ukrainian case and interests in Eastern Lesser Poland were a source of national antagonisms in the Second Polish Republic and one of the factors weakening the security of the Polish state.
The presented arguments show that the so-called Ukrainian case in Eastern Lesser Poland was connected to the security of the Second Polish Republic, and the Ukrainian actions in this region, unfavourable towards Poland, weakened Poland’s security. The actions taken by the Ukrainians were a source of national antagonisms in Poland in the interwar period. Nationalism, terrorism, neglect of duties related to military service, anti-Polish propaganda and defamation of Poland in the Ukrainian press and diplomacy in the international arena, threatened Poland’s security in relation to the development of the sociopolitical situation in Eastern Lesser Poland.

Authors: Chikovani Valerii , Golovach Serhii 
Published: December 2022

The work analyzes the development and current state of vibration gyroscopes in Ukraine and in the world. The development of quartz and metallic resonators of various diameters for vibrating gyroscopes is presented and analyzed. In addition, for comparison with world practice, the developments of quartz and metallic resonators of advanced foreign companies, leaders in this field, are given. The block diagrams of the standing wave control system of the vibrating gyroscope in three modes of operation: as the angle rate sensor, as the rate-integrating or whole angle mode sensor and the differential mode are considered. In the perspective, the possibility of combining all three modes in one gyroscope with automatic switching from one mode to another one is shown, for maximum use of the advantages of each mode in dependence of environmental conditions and motion parameters. The test results of gyroscope with a metallic resonator made in Ukraine, on the effect of a wide range of external disturbances are presented. The development prospects of vibrating gyroscopes and systems based on them are evaluated. The paper draws conclusions about the state and prospects for the development of vibrating gyroscopy in Ukraine.
Mathematical model of instrumental vibration error of angular velocity sensor
Authors: Chernyak Mykola , Lesyuk Markiyan 
Published: December 2022

The problem of mathematical description of the influence of harmful deterministic and broadband random vibrations of a moving object on the measurement result of the sensor of the angular velocity of rotation of this object installed on it is considered. It is shown that under such conditions a systematic instrumental vibration error arises in the angular velocity sensor. The source of this error is the nonlinearity of the static conversion function of the angular velocity sensor and the asymmetry of its conversion coefficient.
A mathematical model of this error has been obtained. Formulas for calculating the vibrational error of the angular velocity sensor are obtained depending on the apparent angular velocity of the flight of the aircraft, the vibration parameters of the base on which the sensor is installed and the parameters of the nonlinear sensor conversion function.
This model makes it possible to calculate the value of the vibration error under specified vibration conditions for a specific angular velocity sensor (direct analysis problem), as well as to select an angular velocity sensor based on the values ​​of its conversion function coefficients, based on ensuring the required accuracy of measuring the angular velocity of a moving object using this angular velocity sensor (inverse synthesis problem).
