Status of Biochemical and Hematological Changes in Pregnant Malaria Patients and Pregnant Nonmalaria Women
Authors: Goswami Asoke Kumar 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Malaria, a condition that affects immunological responsiveness, appears to interfere with immune processes during pregnancy. During pregnancy, females are especially vulnerable to illnesses, which can have catastrophic repercussions for both the mother and the fetus.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 64 participants out of which 32 pregnant nonmalaria participants in Group A and 32 pregnant malaria participants in Group B. The study included participants between 20 and 42 years of age. Participants presenting with the symptoms of malaria such as headache, fever, weakness, and nausea were included.

Results:
The hematological parameters among the study participants. The mean transferrin level in Group A and Group B was 3.42 ± 1.26 and 4.86 ± 2.37 [Figure 1]. There was a significant difference between the two groups. The total iron-binding capacity and serum iron also showed a significant difference between the two groups. The transferrin saturation in Group A was 25.6 ± 8.51 and in Group B was 26.24 ± 5.61. There was no significant difference in the transferrin saturation and hemoglobin levels between the groups.

Conclusion:
Hematological and biochemical indicators may be effective in detecting malaria in pregnant women with parasites deep in tissues that are difficult to identify using a microscope.

Authors: Hannah Erin , Dumka Neha , Bora Devajit , Roy Ashoke K. , Kotwal Atul 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
The creation of health and wellness centres (HWCs) to deliver comprehensive primary healthcare (CPHC) is a programmatic response to the changing demographic and epidemiological profile in India. Since the north-eastern (NE) states face distinct challenges to routine healthcare services, and it has been two years since the rollout of non-communicable disease (NCD) services through the HWCs, a rapid assessment of the rollout with respect to all components of CPHC was undertaken in the NE state of Manipur.

Methods:
The assessment was undertaken using a mixed methodology to assess the rollout of NCD services under CPHC based on the functionality criteria of HWCs. The districts and the facilities were sampled purposively using pre-defined criteria. Primary data were collected using adapted pre-tested semi-structured tools and an interview schedule, which were triangulated with facility-based records and field observations. The data were anonymized, analysed thematically and presented under the domains of CPHC.

Results:
The assessment aided in identifying progress and challenges in the rollout of NCD services through the HWCs. Overall, the initiative was successful in generating demand and community awareness of the expanded range of services at the primary level. Yet, constraints posed by infrastructural gaps, logistical delays, training gaps, fund flow and weak community-level convergence compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic challenged seamless NCD service delivery.

Conclusion:
In as much as the attainment of universal health coverage is dependent on NCD prevention and control, the rollout of NCD services is dependent on strong institutional structures, especially at the primary level. The assessment highlights the need to strengthen the HWCs through adequate financing, human resources, logistics for medicines and technology, community participation, citizen engagement and change management.
Sexual dysfunction and divorce in Iran: A systematic review
Authors: Daneshfar Fatemeh , Keramat Afsaneh 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
One of the causes of dissatisfaction between couples is sexual dysfunction that sometimes leads to divorce. The present systematic study was conducted to evaluate the factors affecting sexual dysfunction and divorce in Iran.

Method:
A comprehensive search, including keywords of sexual dysfunction, emotional divorce, breakaway, separation, conflict, and Iran, was conducted on the databases of Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Magiran, IranMedex, and SID. Out of the total number of reviewed articles, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria. No time limit was considered for our research and all published articles up to November 2021 were reviewed.

Results:
Based on the results of the present study, in all of the reviewed articles, sexual problems and dissatisfaction were among the effective factors in the occurrence or request of a formal divorce or an emotional divorce. The data also demonstrated that weakness in arousal and sexual desire, weakness in sexual function, sexual disorders, orgasm problems, and pain were among the problems of people on the verge of divorce.

Conclusion:
Due to the importance of this issue, recognizing the effective and influential factors of divorce is one of the priorities of mental health. Dissatisfaction with sexual relations in both or one of the spouses is found to be one of the most important factors involved in divorce. If there are problems such as sexual dysfunction between the couples, they may still live together due to cultural and social conditions; however, they may experience emotional divorce. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective counseling and treatment programs in this regard.

Authors: Karabiçak Mustafa , Türk Hakan 
Published: March 2023

Purpose:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that can affect many of our organs, and its effects on the human body are still unknown. In this study, we aimed to find the answer to the question of whether erectile dysfunction (ED) develops in patients who had COVID-19.

Materials and Methods:
This is a prospective study of 459 patients. Married male patients aged between 25 and 70 years and who were hospitalized and treated for COVID-19 were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups as mild, moderate, and severe cases, according to the extent of the disease. Each patient was asked to complete the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) upon admission and 45th and 90th days after discharge. Admission, 45th and 90th values of IIEF were compared within itself.

Results:
Statistically significant differences were observed in the IIEF evaluations on admission and 45th and 90th days of the patients in the three groups. IIEF values of three patient groups displayed a decrease on the 45th day with respect to admission, while the 90th day values were higher in comparison to 45th day, although still remained lower than the values of admission. Evaluation of the erectile function values of the patients revealed that IIEF values on admission decreased on 45th and 90th day values.

Conclusions:
We determined that COVID-19 affected IIEF values in male patients, which might cause ED by reducing erectile function values.
Expressões político-digitais de coletivos feministas no Instagram
Authors: Sarmento Rayza 
Published: March 2023

Esta pesquisa se volta à comunicação digital de grupos feministas brasileiros autodenominados de “coletivos/as". Analisamos posts de 54 páginas desses grupos no Instagram. Mobilizamos ainda entrevistas feitas com 30 jovens feministas de coletivos estudantis, a fim de compreender suas relações com consumo e produção de conteúdo feminista digital. Nossos resultados apontam para a diversidade de temas nas páginas dos coletivos, ganhando relevância a preocupação de ancorar as postagens junto de indicação de leituras feministas, acadêmicas ou não. Pautas como violência, aborto e debates sobre expressões corporais e suas resistências também se mostram proeminentes. As entrevistas e a análise do conteúdo digital revelam como a construção do ativismo e do entendimento sobre os feminismos, especialmente por mulheres jovens, são atravessados pelo conhecimento e informações partilhados online.

В статье рассматривается проблема степени частеречной дифференциации в языках различных типов, таких, как армянский и английский. Выделение разрядов слов основывается на различиях в их семантике, морфологическом строении слова и синтаксической роли слова в предложении. В обоих языках, несмотря на типологическое различие, обнаруживаются разграничения разных классов слов почастоте встречаемости, что свидетельствует об универсальности основных частеречных различий в языках различной морфологической структуры.

Published: March 2023

Teknoloji insana dair her şeyi dramatik biçimde etkilemektedir. Yaşam biçimi, kültür ve toplumsal birimlerle olan ilişkiler neredeyse tamamen teknolojinin dayattığı değerler üzerine biçimlendirilmektedir. Bugün 21. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde teknolojik gelişmelerin insan algısını değiştirdiği kabul edilen bir olgudur. Okuyucu, dinleyici ya da izleyici yerine kullanıcı olarak adlandırılan medya içerik tüketicisi birey, toplumsal ağ içinde önemli bağlantı ya da düğüm haline gelir. Durum böyle olunca gazetecilik pratiklerinde bu yeni tip bireylere ulaşmak için teknolojik gelişmelerin takip edilmesi, kullanılması ve dijital iletişim sürecine dahil olma gündeme gelir.
Bu araştırmada teknolojik gelişmeler aracılığıyla yeni gazetecilik anlayışı olan sanal gerçeklik (VR) haberleri üreten “sürükleyici gazetecilik”, örnek olay yöntemiyle ele alınmaktadır. Görsel iletişimin çok daha geçerli olduğu gazetecilik pratikleri içinde daldırma tekniği ile haber hikâyesinin geçtiği fiziksel mekânın mesaj olarak kullanıldığını öne sürülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda Marshall McLuhan’ın “araç mesajdır” düşüncesinden yararlanılmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular Avrupa ve Kuzey Amerika’daki kimi medya kuruluşlarının haberlerde mekân hissi yaratarak mesajın gücünü artırma amacıyla “sürükleyici gazetecilik” adı altında yeni bir gazetecilik biçimine yöneldiklerini; bu türdeki haberlerde araç olarak kullanılan mekânın, mesajın kendisine dönüştürüldüğünü göstermektedir.
Lake surface temperature retrieved from Landsat satellite series (1984 to 2021) for the North Slave Region
Authors: Attiah Gifty , Kheyrollah Pour Homa , Scott K. Andrea 
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Lake surface temperature (LST) is an important attribute that highlights regional weather and climate variability and trends. The spatial resolution and thermal sensors on Landsat platforms provide the capability of monitoring the temporal and spatial distribution of lake surface temperature on small- to medium-sized lakes. In this study, a retrieval algorithm was applied to the thermal bands of Landsat archives to generate a LST dataset (North Slave LST dataset) for 535 lakes in the North Slave Region (NSR) of the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, for the period of 1984 to 2021. North Slave LST was retrieved from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS); however, most of the dataset was created from the thermal bands of Landsat 5 (43 %) due to its longevity (1984–2013). Cloud masks were applied to Landsat images to eliminate cloud cover. In addition, a 100 m inward buffer was applied to lakes to prevent pixel mixing with shorelines. To evaluate the algorithm applied, retrieved LST was compared with in situ data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST observations. A good agreement was observed between in situ observations and North Slave LST, with a mean bias of 0.12 ∘C and a root mean squared deviation (RMSD) of 1.7 ∘C. The North Slave LST dataset
contains more available data for warmer months (May to September; 57.3 %) compared to colder months (October to April). The average number of images per year for each lake across the NSR ranged from 20 to 45. The North Slave LST dataset, available at https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/J4GMC2 (Attiah et al., 2022), will provide communities, scientists, and stakeholders with spatial and temporal changing temperature trends on lakes for the past 38 years.

Authors: Jasiak-Fik Justyna 
Published: March 2023

Artykuł porusza problematykę przestępczości osób nieletnich z wyszczególnieniem czynów karalnych popełnianych przez te osoby. Podjęto także próbę wyjaśnienia samego terminu polityka, która jest punktem wyjścia w odniesieniu do polityki stosowania środków wychowawczych i poprawczych przez sądy względem osób nieletnich. Na podstawie danych uzyskanych z Ministerstwa Sprawiedliwości za lata 2008–2016 w odniesieniu do całego kraju opracowano analizę ilościową, co potwierdzają wyniki badań własnych dotyczące zastosowania środków zapobiegawczych przez sądy. Natomiast w podsumowaniu kluczowym elementem jest zwrócenie uwagi na politykę sądów w stosunku do zastosowanych środków w przełożeniu na zmieniający się katalog przestępstw popełnianych przez osoby nieletnie z wyraźnym podkreśleniem braku postępów w stosunku do zmian legislacyjnych zarówno w odniesieniu do ustawy o postępowaniu w sprawach nieletnich, jak i samego Kodeksu karnego.
Ethnomusicology, Fieldwork, and the Refugee Experience
Authors: Kölbl Marko 
Published: March 2023

In this article, I discuss ethnomusicological takes on refugees and forced migration relating to five years of fieldwork within the Afghan community in Vienna. Against the background of the recent surge in ethnomusicological studies on forced migration, I critically interrogate my own positionality in relation to the coloniality of asylum that inherently racializes relations between researchers and refugees in ethnographic work. I then review narratives of “crises” and effects of “borders” in relation to migration between Afghanistan and Europe, specifically Austria.
In the article’s main section, various scenarios of Afghan musical practice in Vienna are outlined while offering insights into the musical worlds of the city’s Afghan diaspora both regarding online and offline settings. I approach music as an everyday practice with a perspective strongly shaped by my friendship with Qais Behbood and Bahram Ajezyar. I then specifically discuss Afghan pop music, presenting two Vienna-based singers, Dawood Sarkhosh and Masih Shadab, referring to song examples.
Concludingly, I address relationships, partnerships and friendships in ethnographic fieldwork on forced migration. I contrast friendship with the coloniality of asylum-related research on music and dance and suggest friendship and affection as an ethnographic mode.

Objective: The blood transfusion during cardiac surgeries has been demonstrated to be increased in length of hospital stay. The aim of current study was to characterize the post-operative complication. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted at Cardiac Centre Bahawalpur from 1st February 2020 to 30th March, 2021 all patients were divided into two groups. who underwent cardiac surgery during this period Group A (No blood transfusion). Group B (low transfusion 1-2 units) Results: A total of 176 patients, 122 (69.3%) were male and 54 (30.7%) female. in our study there were 1(1%) in Group A while 5(6.6%) in Group B were found with post-operative infection with statistically significant p-value 0.049. Similarly, hospital stay in group A was 5.8 ± 1.3 while in Group B was 6.9 ± 0.3 showing insignificant p-value 0.067. Conclusion: A restrictive transfusion policy while considering RCC transfusion seems more useful and patients who require blood should receive the number of transfusions as minimum as possible.

Depression Levels and Associated Factors in Individuals with Hereditary Neuromuscular Disease
ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine depression and anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with Hereditary Neuromuscular Diseases (HNMDs) with differing degrees of ambulation, and the factors affecting those levels. Materials and Methods: The study population in this descriptive study consisted of patients under follow-up with diagnoses of HNMD at the Gazi Yaşargil Education and Research Hospital muscular diseases clinic. One hundred fifty-nine patients with varying degrees of ambulation were included. The study data were collected using a sociodemographic data form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC). Results: The participants’ mean age was 21.03 ± 9.35 years, and 55.3% were male. Physical ambulation levels were nonfunctional in 24.5% of participants, dependent on supervision in 15.7%, and independent in 59.7%. A significant part of the participants had moderate or severe anxiety levels. The general BAI score was 20.44±10.25, and the general BDI score was 21.03±9.35. Mild and severe depressive symptoms were present in 76.1% of the participants. Advanced age (p

PURPOSE. To evaluate the clinical utility of pattern electroretinography (PERG) in the differential diagnosis of ocular hypertension and newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) of the initial stage.METHODS. This prospective non-randomized cohort study included patients over the age of 35 years with newly diagnosed ocular hypertension and initial stage POAG in at least one eye. All patients underwent a standard ophthalmological examination, as well as a complex of additional methods used to diagnose POAG: pachymetry, examination of the biomechanical properties of the cornea (Ocular Response Analyzer, Reichert), standard automated perimetry (SAP) (Octopus 900, Haag-Streit Diagnostics), optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the optic nerve head (ONH) and macular area (OCT Triton Plus 3000, Topcon) and PERG (Diopsys Nova, Diopsys, Inc.). Data from both eyes of all included patients were analyzed (12 eyes in the ocular hypertension group and 26 eyes in the POAG group). Statistics was calculated using the StatPlus:mac Software package (StatPlus Inc., Taiwan).RESULTS. During this study we recorded statistically significant differences in steady-state PERG parameters according to the PERG-24 protocol (magnitude, magnitude D — taking into account the magnitude and variability of the response phase throughout the test — and their reverse ratio, determined at pattern contrasts of 100% and 85%) between the groups of patients with newly diagnosed ocular hypertension and newly diagnosed initial stage POAG with a comparable level of intraocular pressure, corneal thickness, biomechanical properties and comparable perimetric indices, as well as the average thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer and the ganglion cell complex according to OCT data. At the same time, all PERG parameters in the ocular hypertension group were within the normal range, while individual PERG parameters in the POAG group had deviations from the normal.CONCLUSION. Steady-state PERG may be an additional objective method for early detection of disorders in the functioning of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which allows differential diagnosis of ocular hypertension without damage of RGCs and initial stage POAG. In addition, dynamic examination with steady-state PERG of individuals with ocular hypertension may allow early detection of the onset of retinal ganglion cells death, i.e. the development of POAG, than with SAP and OCT.
