Authors: Brown Lucy D , Combs Sarah , McKinzie Alexandra , Barber McKenzie , Komanapalli Sarah , Wu Cynthia Y , Hardman Sara , Stout Julianne 
Published: September 2022

Introduction:
The Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) recommends that pre-clinical medical students learn how to counsel on pregnancy options as a standard learning topic during undergraduate medical curriculum.

Materials and Methods:
Second-year medical students viewed pre-recorded lectures and attended a panel on pregnancy options counseling covering adoption, abortion, and pregnancy continuation. Students were then surveyed about their experiences.

Results:
Participants (n = 57) were primarily female (74%), non-Hispanic (89%), and Caucasian (77%). Students determined that most (80–100%) of the APGO Student Learning Objectives were adequately covered by the panel and pre-recorded lectures. Students reported on a 5-point Likert-type scale a statistically significant increase (P < 0.0001) in their perceived preparedness to counsel across each pregnancy option category: abortion (2.17 ± 0.94 before vs. 3.5 ± 0.94 after), adoption (1.81 ± 0.86 before vs. 2.56 ± 1.04 after), and continuation of pregnancy (2.52 ± 1 before vs. 3.38 ± 0.95 after). Eighty-seven percent of the respondents felt that the panel was inclusive of diverse viewpoints.

Discussion:
Students appreciated the pre-recorded lectures and case-based panel as providing important exposure to pregnancy options counseling. Students noted a significantly increased preparedness to counsel a newly diagnosed pregnant patient on abortion, adoption, and pregnancy continuation, most notably with abortion counseling. The overwhelmingly positive reception of the panel highlights the desire of medical students to learn about these issues.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrates the efficacy of combined instruction modalities, including traditional didactics, case-based learning, and an expert provider panel, in educating students on pregnancy options counseling.
Short-Axis Imaging of the Pulmonary Valve through a Modified Parasternal View
Authors: Krishna Mani Ram , Sennaiyan Usha Nandhini 
Published: September 2022

Background:
The aortic and pulmonary valves are both tricuspid valves. All cusps of the aortic valve can be imaged in the parasternal short-axis view but the pulmonary valve cusps are not routinely imaged during trans-thoracic echocardiography.

Methods:
We evaluated the feasibility of imaging all three pulmonary valve cusps in the short-axis by a modified parasternal view in 100 consecutive children below the age of 5 years.

Results:
A satisfactory short-axis imaging of the pulmonary valve was possible in 96 of 100 consecutive children in whom a complete echocardiogram study was performed. This detected abnormalities in the pulmonary valve in 10 children. This included bicuspid pulmonary valves, tricuspid pulmonary valves with unequal cusps, and a quadricuspid pulmonary valve. Visualization of the pulmonary valve permitted preoperative planning of pulmonary valve repair in one infant with a concomitant large ventricular septal defect.

Conclusion:
An adequate visualisation of the pulmonary valve leaflets by a modified parasternal view during trans-thoracic echocardiography was feasible in a vast majority of young children. The modified pulmonary short-axis view should hence be included as the part of a comprehensive pediatric echocardiographic protocol.

Authors: Chang Ya-Ting , Kao Li-Ting , Liao Guo-Shiou , Chen Ying-Chuan , Hu Je-Ming , Chang Yu-Tien 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Current therapeutic strategies have poor effects in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients due to lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expression. Identification of novel genes of TNBC prognosis aids in the development of effective treatment strategies.

Aim:
We aim at explore key genes related to TNBC recurrence.

Methods:
RNAseq and clinical characteristics data were derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma project. Ninety-seven TNBC patients were included. We used DESeq2 and Cox regression to identify significant genes to TNBC recurrence. Pathway enrichment analysis and protein–protein interaction plot were conducted to understand the functions of target genes.

Results:
We discovered top nine important genes for TNBC recurrence. Lower mRNA expression of potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 5, H3 clustered histone 10, and ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 17 and higher mRNA expression of synuclein beta, interleukin 6 (IL-6), casein kappa, RHOC, phosphodiesterase 8B, and laminin subunit alpha 3 (LAMA3) were associated with higher risk of recurrence. IL-6, LAMA3, and Ras homolog family member V (RHOV) genes out of nine candidate genes can make the best prediction of TNBC recurrence (area under receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.95, sensitivity: 0.89 and specificity: 0.97). The top three significant Gene Ontology (GO) pathways are nucleosome, ion gated channel activity, and epidermis development. Significant GO pathways can be categorized into four functions: cell–cell adhesion, cell transportation, cell proliferation, ion channel and transporter, and immune.

Conclusion:
We discovered that the gene set of IL6, LAMA3, and RHOV can accurately predict TNBC recurrence. These genes warrant further study to confirm their causal association with TNBC prognosis and possible treatment targets.

Published: September 2022

Aim:
Pudendal neuropathy (PN) is a common cause of chronic perineal pain and usually diagnosed long after the onset of symptoms. Diagnostic work-up of PN mainly includes radiologic and neurophysiological studies. However, there is no established diagnostic test to confirm the clinical diagnosis. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between the dynamic pudendal somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and pudendal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with PN diagnosed clinically based on Nantes criteria as the gold standard for comparison.

Methods:
Forty-three patients (25 females, 18 males) were included in the study. Dynamic pudendal SEP as a novel method, which includes both provocative positioning and stimulation of each side separately, and pudendal MRI were performed in each patient.

Results:
Dynamic pudendal SEPs were found to be abnormal in 42, normal in 12 of the 54 clinically symptomatic nerves and abnormal in 2, normal in 30 of the 32 clinically asymptomatic nerves. Pudendal MRI was abnormal in 19, normal in 35 of the 54 clinically symptomatic nerves and abnormal in 8 and normal in 24 of the 32 clinically asymptomatic nerves. There was 84% agreement between clinical diagnosis and dynamic pudendal SEP (high sensitivity and specificity), 49% agreement between clinical diagnosis and pudendal MRI (low sensitivity and acceptable specificity), 53% agreement between dynamic pudendal SEP and pudendal MRI.

Conclusions:
The novel dynamic pudendal SEP method seems to be useful in supporting the clinical diagnosis of PN, while pudendal MRI lacks sufficient sensitivity to be used alone in diagnosis of PN.
Salustijeva razlaga za izvor državljanskih vojn v zadnjih desetletjih republike
Authors: Maver Aleš , Zabukovšek Nik 
Published: September 2022

Izhodišče prispevka je domneva, da nad precejšnjim delom Salustijevega historiografskega opusa lebdi senca izkušnje dolge državljanske vojne v Rimu v času njegovega življenja. To je razvidno iz zgodovinarjevega prikaza surovega obračuna nobilitete z bratoma Grakh in iz njegove upodobitve Sule in njegove vladavine kot vira moralnega kaosa v desetletju po njegovem zavzetju Rima. Ko razmišlja o vzrokih krize rimske republike v šestdesetih letih pr. Kr. in v času nastanka svojih spisov, se Salustij sicer skuša predstaviti kot nepristranski opazovalec, ki občasno biča napake političnih voditeljev obeh sprtih taborov, aristokracije in ljudstva. Vendar zgodovinar gotovo ne deli Ciceronovega mnenja o slogi med osrednjima skupinama vladajočega sloja kot zadostnem zdravilu za rimske težave. Preveč resno je jemal družbene korenine krize. Pri tem je nedvomno pripisoval odgovornost za krizo vladajočemu sloju. Zato si po Salustijevem mnenju pozornost zaslužijo celo neverodostojni glasniki sprememb, kakršen je bil Katilina. Po eni strani se Salustij ni odmaknil od uničujočega Ciceronovega prikaza voditelja zarote in ga je še dodatno prikazal kot demagoga, ki se, kadar mu to koristi, predstavlja za tipičnega člana nobilitete. Toda po drugi strani slika njegov razmislek o položaju v Rimu kot verodostojen, zlasti ko gre za Katilinov goreč napad na vodilno elito.
Bulat Galeev's artistic “orbital” in Kazan in the 1960s – 1980s
Authors: Ахметова Д.И. 
Published: September 2022

Статья посвящена экспериментам в искусстве, интерес к которым в СССР возобновился в период оттепели; в частности синтезу музыки и визуального искусства. Особое внимание уделяется организатору исследований и творчества в данном направлении, основателю казанского НИИ «Прометей» Булату Галееву, который одним из первых в стране заинтересовался историей беспредметного искусства синестетического характера, сделав его объектом научного исследования, обсуждения, введя в культурный контекст, объединив тех, кто создавал новое искусство. Анализируется его тесное сотрудничество с рядом художников того периода: Константином Васильевым, Алексеем Аникеёнком и Надиром Альмеевым. Показано тесное сотрудничество Н. Альмеева с «Прометеем» на протяжении нескольких лет: создание иллюстраций к книгам и визуального наполнения цветомузыкальных фильмов.
The article is devoted to experiments in art. Interest in them in the USSR resumed during the “thaw” period. In particular, the focus was on the synthesis of music and visual art. The author of the study paid special attention to the organizer of research and creativity in this direction, the founder of the Kazan Research Institute “Prometheus” Bulat Galeev. He was one of the first in the country who became interested in the history of non-objective art of a synaesthetic nature, making it the object of scientific research, discussion, introducing it into a cultural context, uniting those who created new art. The article presents an analysis of his close collaboration with a number of artists of that period: Konstantin Vasiliev, Alexei Anikeenok and Nadir Almeev. N. Almeev's close cooperation with “Prometheus” for several years led to the creation of illustrations for books and visual content for color-musical films.

Creativity of Tatiana Glebova in the current of the “sacralized plasticism”: about one picture
Authors: Чудиновская Т.Г. 
Published: September 2022

Художественное течение «сакрализованный пластицизм», название которому дано Л.В. Мочаловым в 1990-е годы, возникло после Великой Отечественной войны. Его основатели — В.В. Стерлигов, П.М. Кондратьев, Т.Н. Глебова — были учениками известных представителей первой волны авангарда — К.С. Малевича, П.Н. Филонова, М.В. Матюшина. Занимаясь вопросами пространственной структуры, цветопластики, они вводили в свое творчество координату духовного измерения, не теряя связи с натурной действительностью. На примере одной из поздних работ Татьяны Глебовой рассматривается путь преображения натуры, легшей в основу замысла художественного произведения.
The artistic movement “sacralized plasticism”, the name of which was given by L.V. Mochalov in the 1990s, arose after the Great Patriotic War. Its founders were V.V. Sterligov, P.M. Kondratyev, T.N. Glebova. They were students of the famous representatives of the first wave of the avant-garde — K.S. Malevich, P.N. Filonov, M.V. Matyushin. Dealing with the issues of spatial structure, colour plastics, they introduced into their work the coordinate of the spiritual dimension, without losing connection with natural reality. The article considers the path of transformation of nature, which formed the basis of the concept of a work of art on the example of one of the later works of Tatyana Glebova.

Representation of Presidential Candidates of Election 2019 in Online Media in Lampung
Authors: Sunarsih Sunarsih , Jaelani Jejen , Setyawan Harits 
Published: September 2022

Towards the presidential election of Republic of Indonesia in 2019, many discourses related to the presidential election 2019 appeared in various mass media. The media included printed, electronic, and online news which gave information, editorial, advertisement, and other forms related to the presidential election. These various contents about the presidential election were interesting to be explored through research because they could uncover realities which were represented differently, for different purposes, and with distinctive ideology in each mass medium. These phenomena could be found not only in national online mass media, but also in online mass media in Lampung. Observing how the prospective president and vice president were represented in local online mass media was an interesting thing. That was because by using data from local online mass media, we could identify how constellation movement and political dynamics in national level were represented in local level with unique reader segments. One of provinces which were interesting to be explored through research was Lampung. As a province located in the southern area of Sumatera, Lampung was geographically strategic as the connector of Java and Sumatera. Lampung played a crucial role due to its position as the gate of Sumatera Island in logistic matters and citizen mobilization to Java and Sumatera. Based on data from Alexa (Alexa, 2019) there were five online mass media in Lampung which occupied the highest positions: saibumi.com, jejamo.com, lampost.co, radarlampung.co.id, and duajurai.co. This research aimed at describing the representation of prospective president and vice president during the presidential election 2019 in news articles published by local news sites in Lampung. It would use a discourse analysis with Corpus- Assisted Critical Discourse Analysis (CACDA). Based on data analysis, it was found that Dua Jurai, Jejamo, Saibumi, and Radar Lampung had a tendency to represent both prospective presidents and vice presidents neutrally. Meanwhile, Lampung Post had a tendency to represent the first prospective president and vice president: Jokowi-Maruf Amin in positive ways and the second prospective president and vice president: Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno in negative ways. This appeared from word-use frequency in news about both prospective presidents and vice presidents published by the mass media.

Authors: Kule John Baguma Muhunga , Kamukama Nixon , Kijjambu Frederick Nsambu 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: To establish the association between financial accountability and Financial Performance of SACCOs in Mid-Western Uganda.
Methodology: A cross-sectional research design and positivist paradigm were used to collect data from 93 SACCOs in Mid-Western Uganda using a close-ended questionnaire. Besides, a standard linear regression analysis was conducted. From the target population of 122 SACCOs, a sample of 93 SACCOs was selected using probability sampling technique.
Findings: The study established a positive significant association between financial accountability and Financial Performance.
Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: The study confirms the theoretical assertions that financial accountability associates with financial performance. Besides, the study addresses the mixed findings on the link between financial accountability and financial performance. Also, the study suggests a need for management to consider financial accountability as a key driver of financial performance of SACCOs. Still, there is need for government to advocate for effective financial accountability to ensure that SACCOs attain sustainable financial performance.
The Mediating Role of Financial Accountability in the Relationship between Internal Control Environment and Financial Performance of Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Mid-Western Uganda
Authors: Kule John Baguma Muhunga , Kamukama Nixon , Kijjambu Frederick Nsambu 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This paper aimed at establish the mediating effect of financial accountability in the relationship between internal control environment and financial performance of savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs). The purpose of this paper is to establish the mediating role of financial accountability in the association between internal control environment and financial performance.
Methodology: A cross-sectional research design and positivist paradigm were used to collect data using a close-ended questionnaire. Also, a standard regression analysis, Medgraph program, and Baron and Kenny approach were adopted to test for the mediation effects. Based on the target population of 122 SACCOs, a sample of 93 SACCOs was selected using probability sampling technique.
Findings: It is clearly revealed that the true drivers of financial performance in the SACCO sector are financial accountability and internal control environment. Nevertheless, financial accountability exhibits a partial form of mediation in the association between internal control environment and financial performance.
Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: In the event that financial accountability is established as a conduit in the relationship between internal control environment and financial performance, managers in the SACCO sector should work on reinforcing the agents of financial accountability (i.e., value for money and level of transparency) in an effort to enhance sustainable financial performance.
