Authors: Zulkarnain Zuraida , Bisanto Yulfina 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the result of acupuncture in the early and late stage of the disease.
From January 2974 to December 1977, a total of 276 paralytic cases due to post-poliomyelitis were treated with acupuncture, with the age betseen 3 months and 12 years.
Clinically and electromyogram examination were eveluated only on 146 cases. Of the se, 78 cases (53.4%) showed marked improvement, 65 cases (44.5%), showed some improvement and only 3 cases (2.1%) showed no improvement.
There is a correlation between the result of the treatment and the duration of the disease. Of the 93 cases starting treatment within one month of the onset of paralysis, 71 cases (76.3%) showed marked improvement, while 22 cases (23.7%) showed some improvement or no improvement. Of the 53 cases starting treatment after one month of the illness, 7 cases (13.2%) showed marked improvement and 46 cases (86.8%)showed some improvement.
The technique of the treatment and applicable acupuncture points are described. The method is simple and without risk for the patient.

Authors: N. Sugitha , P. Suwendra , Suraatmaja Sudaryat 
Published: September 2023

An evaluation of diazepam as a single antispasmodic drug in the treatment of neonatal tetanus was made on 30 neonates, who were admitted to the Dept. of Child Health, General Hospital, Denpasar. Diazepam (Valium) was given with the dose of 2,5 mg intravenously at 2 hours intervals. It can be increased in very severe cases, to a maximal dose of 40 mg/kgbw/day.
The overall mortality of this study was 20%. Almost all deaths occurred within the first 5 days. Incubation period of less than 7 days, period of onset of less than 48 hours, age on admission of less than 5 days and spontaneous paroxysmal spasm were important factors to contribute to the high mortality. The mortality also rose in proportion to the severity according to Patel and Joag criteria.

Published: September 2023

Three hundred under five years of age patients admitted to Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital Child Health during a two months period (October-November, 1981) were studied, using child care monitoring form. The age group with highest morbidity (86.7%) was found in the age group of 0-2 years.
Only 54.3% of the children get breastfeeding until the age of 6 months. Supplementary food was already given at the age of 0-4 months.
Undernutrition was still high (41.7%) particularly under the age of 2 years (32.7%).
BCG and DPT immunization were still low respectively 22.7% and 10%. Gastrointestinal disease and respiratory tract infection were the two leading diseases; tetanus neonatorum was also frequent.
The percentage of discharge on parents request was high (31%) which might be related to low level parental education and low socio economic condition.

Abstract

Introduction:
Persistent villous atrophy (VA) is not uncommon in celiac disease (CeD) while patients take a gluten-free diet (GFD).

Methods:
We conducted a retrospective study with 122 serum samples collected from controls and CeD patients either at the initial diagnosis or follow-up during endoscopy. These samples were assigned to three groups: non-celiac control, non-VA CeD (Marsh score 0-2), and VA CeD (Marsh score 3a-3c). We established an in-house multiplex assay to identify potential serological biomarkers for villous atrophy. We assessed autoantibodies reported to affect the small intestine, including IgA and IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG), interferons, villin, actin, autoimmune enteropathy-related 75 kDa antigen (AIE-75), and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH)-1, as well as 27 cytokines. The apolipoproteins quantified included apo A1, apo B-100, and apo A4, which were produced predominantly by the intestinal epithelium or expressed specifically in villi.

Results:
Autoantibody levels were high only for tTG antibodies, which performed well in initial CeD diagnosis, but suboptimally for VA prediction during follow-up, as 14.6% of the follow-up patients with VA had low tTG-IgA. Increasing dilution improved tTG-IgA quantification, particularly when the antibody levels were extremely high, but did not significantly improve VA detection. Among those with low tTG-IgA and persistent VA, high proinflammatory cytokines were observed in two patients. Median LDL-C levels were significantly lower in the VA CeD group (P = 0.03). Apolipoprotein levels were similar in patients with and without VA, but diverged between those on a gluten-free diet (GFD) or not.
Conclusions: tTG-IgA as a biomarker is suboptimal for villous atrophy prediction while on a GFD. Persistent villous atrophy is associated with low LDL-C levels, and partially related to persistent high proinflammatory cytokines.
Variants of Gender Bias and Sexual-Orientation Discrimination in Career Development
Authors: Litsardopoulos Nicholas , Saridakis George , Clark Andrew E. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We use a nationally-representative dataset that includes a large sample of sexual-orientation minorities to investigate gender bias and sexual-orientation discrimination in career progression. Our results are consistent with persistent gender bias findings and non-heterosexual identity-based employment discrimination. Our findings are consistent with previous work noting that protective legislation for gay and lesbian sexual identities have increased the cost of discrimination and contribute to the improved socioeconomic status of a substantial number of people in these minority groups. However, these gains have not been shared with other minority groups in the LGB+ community, which still have some of the lowest probabilities of holding managerial jobs, and higher probabilities of appearing in lower socioeconomic classes.

Concealing Structural Innovation in Greek Architecture: Flat-Arch Construction in the Third-Century BCE Stoa on Samothrace
Authors: Holzman Samuel 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
New fieldwork at the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the Greek island of Samothrace has uncovered the remains of flat arches in the Doric frieze of the Stoa, a long portico built in the second quarter of the third century BCE. The keystone frieze was used prominently in large-scale building in Rome and exemplifies how Roman architecture creatively combined Greek trabeated aesthetics with the structural potential of the arch. The keystone frieze discovered on Samothrace, however, predates by one and a half centuries examples known in Italy. This article queries whether flat relieving arches were more widely deployed in Greek architecture but have gone overlooked. Other early Hellenistic buildings on Samothrace tested the limits of stone spans and set the stage for structural innovation. The Stoa reveals a decisive transition between the relieving devices based on cantilevers used in fifth- and fourth-century BCE Athens and the wider adoption of plate-bande construction in late Republican Rome.
La localización epistémica de la violencia: La escuela de Frankfurt y la filosofía de la liberación
Authors: Blanco García Jorge Enrique 
Published: September 2023

Este artículo aborda la violencia como problema filosófico desde dos enfoques de pensamiento ubicados en latitudes geo-históricas distintas. En primer lugar, se presenta a la Escuela de Frankfurt, a través de la obra Dialéctica de la ilustración (1944/1947). En segundo lugar, desde América Latina se expone la Filosofía de la Liberación, a la luz de Enrique Dussel en los planteamientos de su obra El encubrimiento del otro: el origen del mito de la modernidad (1994). Ambos discursos articulan un análisis crítico del fenómeno de la violencia, diagnosticando los síntomas degradados del proyecto civilizatorio de la Modernidad.

Published: September 2023

Nanocellulose was successfully synthetized from microcrystalline cellulose by an acid hydrolysis process. The sample characterization was performed employing X-ray diffraction, zeta potential and confocal Raman microscopy. Nanocellulose-reinforced thermoplastic starch (TPS) composites were prepared by solution casting method, in which a small concentration of nanocellulose improved the elastic modulus of TPS. This property was calculated using the atomic force microscopy nanoindentation method. We conclude that nanocellulose is a good mechanical reinforcement for composites from commercial sources as starch.

Authors: Noguera Graciela , Castillo Graciela , Vega Maria Victoria 
Published: September 2023

Neltuma alba Griseb es una especie emblemática de la Ecorregión Chaqueña, por el valor de su madera y frutos. Los resultados de la presente investigación, dan cuenta de que las semillas de algarrobo blanco pueden ser críoconservadas sin afectar el poder y la energía para germinar.
Las semillas fueron conservadas por tres meses a Temperatura ambiente (24° y 30°C, Congelamiento (-18°C) y Nitrógeno líquido (-196°C). Posteriormente, fueron escarificadas mecánicamente y sembradas en tierra negra y aserrín (3:1). Los resultados fueron sometidos a pruebas no paramétricas de Kruskal-Wallis, analizándose poder, energía y vigor germinativo, y no se detectaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos.
Para la regeneración in vitro en medio de cultivo MS suplementados con 3 mg L-1 IBA y 0,05 mg L-1 CIN, se utilizaron segmentos nodales de 2 cm de longitud obtenidos de plántulas provenientes de semillas. Los porcentajes de enraizamiento obtenidos fueron elevados (87-90%). No existiendo diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos ensayados. El almacenamiento de semillas a 24°-30°C resulta ser el más apropiado para alcanzar altos porcentajes de germinación.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo Analizar la asociación entre la etnicidad y la gravedad de la infección por el virus del dengue en población mexicana.
Materiales y Métodos Se analizaron de manera retrospectiva los datos registrados por el Gobierno Federal de México con respecto a los casos confirmados de dengue. El análisis se realizó desde el 3 de enero hasta el 29 de noviembre de 2021. Se realizó un análisis exploratorio para evaluar la asociación de la etnicidad con la necesidad de hospitalización y muerte utilizando Chi-cuadrado. También se utilizaron modelos de regresión logística para evaluar otros indicadores de gravedad.
Resultados Se evaluaron 5 759 pacientes; la media de edad fue 27 años y el 1,9 % era indígena. No se observó una asociación significativa entre la etnicidad y la gravedad del dengue tras analizar el porcentaje de muertes y hospitalizaciones. En el modelo crudo se encontró que los factores asociados a hospitalización fueron ser menor de edad (OR: 2,48; p<0,001), vivir en una entidad de alta marginación (OR: 2,06; p<0,001), tener cirrosis hepática (OR: 5,71; p=0,033), enfermedad renal crónica (OR: 4,76; p=0,008) o hipertensión (OR: 2,57, p<0,001). La asociación se mantuvo en la mayoría de variables evaluadas en el modelo ajustado.
Conclusiones No fue posible demostrar asociación entre la etnicidad y la gravedad de la infección por el virus del dengue en el presente estudio. Son necesarios estudios prospectivos con la inclusión de una mayor cantidad de pacientes de etnia indígena.
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF CLAPS ON THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF TANK STRUCTURES
Authors: Nuriev M. I. , Sabirov R. A. , Poteshkin P. V. , Timerbulatov R. M. 
Published: September 2023

The need to study the problems of reliable operation of the reservoir system is relevant. Special attention should be paid to the specifics of the operation of oil storage tanks and their equipment. The Russian tank farm was formed in the 1970s, a significant part of it has a service life of more than 50 years. The experience of examining such structures with a long service life indicates the presence, in most cases, of the physical aging of their structural elements.
The article presents the results of processing a cloud of points created using a ground laser scanner to determine the actual geometric deviations of the reservoir and their combined effect on the reliability of the reservoir.
During the survey, a method of work was used that differs from the standard. In the field, a laser scanner was used instead of a theodolite; in office processing, software systems were used that simplify the tasks.
In the process of research in the 3DR software package, a triangulation mesh model was created from a cloud of points from a set of finite elements to identify defects located on the wall. The data obtained can be compared with previous and future survey results. Also, the model can be used to create a calculation scheme in PC LIRA 10.
We set the actual characteristics of the tank wall to the finite elements (the thickness of the first belt is 12 mm, the next ones 10 mm). The main load combinations were applied to the tank. The calculations were carried out for a combination of loads, including the own weight of the structures, the pressure of the stored product and the overpressure in the gas space. Circular and equivalent stresses according to the 4 (energy) theory of strength were analyzed.
The use of a laser scanner and software systems reduces labor costs for tank inspection, improves the quality of work performed, makes it possible to see the real surface of the tank and take into account defects in the aggregate.
This method is of practical importance and is currently used by the Department of Inspection of Buildings and Structures.

Ovarian epithelial tumours are common tumors of female genital tract and they account for vast majority of female ovarian neoplasms. ovarian seromucinous carcinomas (OSMC) are rare ovarian tumours containing serous and endocervical mucinous type cells. In 2020, World Health Organization Classification of Female Genital Tumors recategorized seromucinous ovarian carcinomas as ovarian endometrioid carcinoma with mucinous differentiation. Most OSMC present in stage I or II and have a favourable prognosis.We present the case of a 30-year-old female who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain and abdominal distension. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of abdomen suggested a left sided malignant adnexal mass following which Left sided salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry of specimen was done and a diagnosis of left ovarian seromucinous carcinoma was rendered.
Krytyka operacjonizmu z uwzględnieniem operacyjnej definicji czasu
Authors: Róg Jakub 
Published: September 2023

W artykule omówiono ważniejsze argumenty przeciw operacjonizmowi Percy’ego W. Bridgmana sformułowane na przestrzeni ostatnich dekad oraz przedyskutowano operacyjne sposoby definiowania czasu w mechanice klasycznej oraz nierelatywistycznej mechanice kwantowej. O ile w mechanice klasycznej nie napotyka się większych trudności w sformułowaniu operacyjnej definicji czasu, o tyle w formalizmie teorii kwantowej zadanie to staje się niemożliwe. Co, niezależnie od dyskusyjnego statusu czasu w mechanice kwantowej, prowadzi do ogólniejszego pytania, czy można pogodzić mechanikę kwantową z podejściem operacyjnym.
Źródła polskiego kartezjanizmu fenomenologicznego: Od Idei i percepcji do Człowieka i czasu
Authors: Starzyński Wojciech 
Published: September 2023

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie źródeł polskiego kartezjanizmu fenomenologicznego, które autor hipotetycznie sytuuje w rozprawie doktorskiej Kazimierza Twardowskiego Idee und Perception. Eine erkenntnistheoretische Untersuchung aus Descartes (1891). Rozprawa jest badana w aspekcie brentanowskiego na nią wpływu, który daje się zauważyć zarówno na poziomie rozstrzygnięć epistemologicznych, jak i w koncepcji uprawiania historii filozofii. Choć Twardowski koryguje w niej kartezjańską interpretację Brentana, to pozostaje na gruncie brentanowskiej psychologii opisowej, stanowiącej pewną wstępną wersję fenomenologii. W drugiej części artykułu rekonstruuje się wątek kartezjański zawarty w egologii Romana Ingardena, jaką zaprezentował w Człowieku i czasie (1937–1946), by w konkluzji scharakteryzować wspólne elementy przemawiające za ciągłością i swoistością motywu kartezjańskiego w początkach polskiej fenomenologii.
Chrześcijańskie inspiracje we wczesnych dramatach Iwana Wyrypajewa
Authors: Wasińczuk Katarzyna 
Published: September 2023

Dramaturgia Iwana Wyrypajewa nasycona jest motywami biblijnymi, pełno w niej chrześcijańskich asocjacji. Ewangeliczne przesłanie i frazeologia poddawane są jednak nieustannym transformacjom, co czyni chrześcijański kod nieczytelnym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie realizacji chrześcijańskiego paradygmatu w koncepcji duchowości wyłaniającej się z wybranych dramatów Wyrypajewa. Przedmiotem badań jest zespół motywów chrześcijańskich o dużej elastyczności i nośności znaczeniowej. Niezbędne jest również ujawnienie bogactwa religijno-‑filozoficznych inspiracji w twórczości rosyjskiego dramaturga oraz eksploracja – obecnych na różnych poziomach organizacji wybranych utworów – wątków duchowych w kontekście sacrum chrześcijańskiego. Artykuł stanowi próbę prześledzenia bliskich i dalekich odniesień sakralnych oraz strategii modelowania rzeczywistości duchowej w dramaturgii Wyrypajewa. Modelunek duchowości zdaje się wykazywać znikomy związek z chrześcijańskim światopoglądem. Spór nie oznacza jednak jednoznacznego odrzucenia.
Inteligencja na zgliszczach ojczyzny”. Model badawczy systemu dla konserwatywnego dyskursu o transformacji systemowej w Rosji w latach 90. XX wieku
Authors: Abassy Małgorzata 
Published: September 2023

Analiza dyskursu transformacji systemowej w latach 90. XX wieku w Rosji została przeprowadzona na podstawie tekstu źródłowego pt. Inteligencja na zgliszczach ojczyzny (1996) autorstwa konserwatywnego publicysty Siergieja Kara-Murzy. Rozważania rozpoczęto od doprecyzowania pojęcia systemu, jego części składowych, mechanizmu zachowania równowagi funkcjonalnej oraz ram czasowych transformacji. Opierając się na wnioskach z analizy dyskursu zbudowano model systemu, na podstawie którego jest możliwe prześledzenie niespójności, polegającej na rozluźnieniu zależności między fundamentalnymi systemu: wartościami. Druga warstwa analizy systemowej to słowa, które są nacechowane ambiwalencją. Pytanie o ich semantykę odsłania kierunek transformacji systemu – ku wzrostowi równowagi funkcjonalnej, bądź ku jej zaburzeniu. Pytanie o rolę inteligencji sprowadza się do jej kompetencji w zakresie rozpoznania niuansów znaczeniowych oraz zbudowania takich modeli systemu, które wykażą potencjalne niebezpieczeństwa zderzenia sprzecznych wartości zanim dojdzie do realizacji postulatów w praktyce. W tym aspekcie model systemu, według którego można prognozować przebieg transformacji systemowej, ma funkcję diagnostyczną i prognostyczną.
