Authors: Ama-Cauphys Béatrice Assamoi , Kouamé Amos Kouadio , Messou Aman , Coulibaly Lacina 
Published: January 2022

La pollution des eaux de surface par les eaux usées urbaines est une préoccupation environnementale majeure. Cette étude a consisté à développer des filtres à sable intermittent en série en forme de U et à étudier l’influence de la hauteur et de la granulométrie du lit filtrant sur l’enlèvement des polluants organiques des eaux usées. Ainsi, deux hauteurs de lits filtrants (60 cm) et (70 cm) ont été utilisés. Les schistes grossiers, schistes moyens et le sable de lagune ont constitué le massif filtrant. Les résultats montrent que les rendements obtenus avec les filtres 70 cm de lit filtrant (FH70) sont relativement plus élevés (MES : 77,16%, DCO : 89,75% et DBO5: 92,96%). Cependant, les schistes moyens et le sable de lagune permettent d’obtenir une bonne réduction des MES, de la DCO et DBO5 dans les filtrats par rapport aux schistes grossiers. Les analyses du profil des polluants organiques dans le filtre de 70 cm de massif filtrant ont montré une diminution des teneurs de ces polluants de la surface au fond du filtre et elles restent élevées dans la couche de 0 à 20 cm. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les filtres FH70 contenant des schistes moyens et du sable de lagune constituent une technologie efficace d’épuration des eaux usées.
Pollution of surface waters by urban wastewater is a major environmental concern. This study was conducted to develop intermittent sand filters in the shape of a “U” for organic pollutants treatment. In this study, the effect of both two sand depth (60 cm and 70 cm) and the filter media grain size on the removal of organic pollutants was studied. The coarsest shale medium (Sch1), mean shale (Sch2) and white lagoon sand constituting the filter media. The results show that the filter of 70 cm of sand (FH70) was the most efficient (TSS: 77.16%, COD: 89.75% and BOD5: 92.96%). However, the media grain size which removed optimum MES, DCO and DBO5 was observed to be mean shale and the white lagoon. Concerning the organic matter concentration in filter medium of filter 70 cm of sand, they decrease with depth and the sand layer from 0 to 20 cm show the highest concentration. The results obtained show that the filter of 70 cm of mean shale and with lagoon sand is an efficient technology for treating treat urban wastewater.

Authors: OCAKOĞLU Gökhan 
Published: January 2022

Background: In recent years, it has been seen that the concept of health literacy has an increasing interest in academic studies and theses published in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, the theses written on health literacy in the field of family medicine were evaluated. It was aimed to reveal the thematic development and knowledge structure of the theses published in this field.
Material and Methods: Within the scope of this study, social network analysis was carried out based on the keywords obtained from the theses prepared with the target of health literacy. Theses included in the study were accessed via https://tez.yok.gov.tr/UlusalTezMerkezi/. The studies that include the phrase “health literacy” in the title were selected in the examination scope, and the keywords obtained from these theses were listed.
Results: It is observed that the concept with the highest degree of centrality and betweenness centrality is “health literacy,” as expected. Following the keyword “health literacy,” the keywords “life quality,” “mortality,” “family medicine,” “vaccine,” and “diabetes mellitus” have the highest degree of centrality, respectively. It is observed that the betweenness centrality values of the “newest vital sign” and “life quality” keywords are quite high compared to the degree centrality values.
Conclusions: Through this study, researchers can focus on issues that are not emphasized much, create original research questions and contribute to the literature. In addition, it may be important to reveal which concepts are associated with the concept of health literacy through this study.
The Positive Airway Pressure Therapy Compliance In Mild OSAS
Authors: ŞAHİN DUYAR Sezgi , ÇELİK Deniz , AKSU Funda , FIRAT Selma 
Published: January 2022

Introduction: This study is designed to determine the factors for predicting the PAP compliance in mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) for improving the cost-effectiveness in the treatment choices of these patients.
Method: The study group comprises 27 mild OSAS patients who underwent automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) titration between July 2016 and December 2017. Demographic, clinic and polysomnographic characteristics of the patients were retrospectively evaluated. Compliance with PAP treatment was defined as the usage of 5 nights/week and 4 hours/night at least. Data of compliant patients were statistically compared with non-compliant patients.
Results: Most of the patients (23 patients, 85,2%) were prescribed APAP devices. Acceptable compliance at the end of the first year of therapy was achieved by 11 patients (40,2%) whereas 8 patients used PAP device 2 months at most (29,6%) The remaining 8 patients had not taken the device at all and were considered as non-adherent to PAP treatment (29,6%). The nonadherent/non-compliant group showed statistically the same demographic, clinic, and polysomnographic characteristics when compared to the compliant group. The level of maximum pressure during the titration test was lower in the compliant group (p=0,040).
Conclusion: The sleep-related symptoms, scores of ESS or polysomnographic parameters can not be used to predict compliance for mild OSAS. The patients with mild OSAS, especially the ones who reach higher maximum pressure on titration test, must be followed up closely during the first 2 months of PAP treatment to detect nonadherence/non-compliance earlier.

Published: January 2022

Objective: To evaluate causes of community-acquired and hospital-acquired acute kidney injury and the factors associated with increased inpatient mortality.
Method: The observational prospective study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from September 2018 to March 2019, and comprised patients having acute kidney injury either at the time of admission in group A or developed it after 48 hours of hospital stay in group B. The patients were followed up for 12 weeks and outcomes were categorised as recovered, developed chronic kidney disease, died or remained dialysis-dependent. Data was analysed using SPSS 19.
Results: Of the 400 patients, 347(86.8%) were in group A; 190(54.8%) males and 157(45.2%) females with an overall mean age of 57.2±17.0 years. The remaining 53(13.3%) were in group B; 31(58.5%) males and 22(41.5%) females with an overall mean age of 58.5±16.3 years. Urinary tract infection 105(30.3%) was the most frequent cause in group A, followed by volume depletion 73(21%). The causes in group B were multiple, with nephrotoxic antibiotics vancomycin 21(39.6%) and polymyxin 20(37.7%) being the most common. At 12 weeks, 224(56%) patients recovered, 55(13.8%) died, 82(20.5%) and 38(9.5%) developed new onset and progressive chronic kidney disease, respectively, and 1(0.25%) patient remained dialysis-dependent. Chronic liver disease, renin angiotensin system inhibitors, infection, shock, invasive ventilation and increasing length of stay were associated with increased inpatient mortality (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Acute kidney injury was largely community-acquired, and infection was the leading cause with better outcome in contrast to hospital-acquired acute kidney injury which was mostly multifactorial.

Los factores posibilitadores y las expresiones de la violencia en los noventa
Authors: Cruz José Miguel 
Published: January 2022

La violencia que vive El Salvador en la actualidad no surge de la nada. Este país centroamericano ha reunido en la posguerra toda una serie de condiciones que han posibilitado la exacerbación de la agresividad institucionalizada. A pesar de que la historia salvadoreña muestra que la violencia ha estado siempre presente en diversas modalidades, el prolongado conflicto bélico acrecentó la ya existente cultura de violencia; además en la era de la paz, el país ha tenido que lidiar con unos aparatos de justicia y seguridad principiantes y no del todo eficientes; finalmente, la ingente cantidad de armamento ha contribuido también al descontrol de los índices delincuenciales. Este artículo desarrolla además algunas caracterizaciones de la violencia criminal en la actualidad.

RAHASIA PENGULANGAN (REPITISI) AYAT DALAM SURAH AR-RAHMAN
Authors: Yunus Muhammad , Hasanah Uswatun 
Published: January 2022

Artikel ini membahas tentang rahasia pengulangan (repitisi) ayat dalam surah ar-Rahman. Di satu sisi, pengulangan ayat meruapakan salah satu gaya bahasa dan kemu’jizatan al-Qur’an. Akan tetapi, pada sisi yang lain, baik dari kalangan Islam sendiri ataupun orientalis masih debatable tentang makna pengulangan (tiqrar) dalam al-Qur’an. Salah satu yang membahas tentang rahasia makna dibalik pengulangan ayat adalah al-Alusi dalam tafsir Ruhal- Ma’ani. Penelitian ini bersifat literature, maka penulis menggunakan pendekatan diskriftif- analisis. Mendiskripsikan secara umum kitab tafsir Ruh al- Ma’ani dan melakukan analisi dengan tulisan-tulisan yang berbentuk jurnal atau karya ilmiah lainnya. Sebagai hasilnya, rahasia di balik pengulangan (repitisi) ayat dalam al-Qur’an menurut al-Alusi adalah sebagai penetapan makna ayat sebelumnya bukan sebagai tauqid. Sebagaimana dikenal dalam ilmu balaghah bahwa salah satu metode tauqid adalah dengan mengulangi lafadz atau ayat tersebut, jika lebih dari tiga kali pengulangannya maka bukanlah disebut tauqid (pengutan), akan tetapi penetapan makna(taqrir al-ma’na) dari sebelumnya

Estudio del sistema compositivo de Luis Bedmar Encinas
Authors: Manchado López Andrés Carlos 
Published: January 2022

Este trabajo es un estudio de la vida profesional de Luis Bedmar Encinas, compositor, director de orquesta y pedagogo musical, a través de una óptica antropológico-musicológica, prestando atención a los diferentes planos en los que se desenvuelve su actividad compositiva: lo popular y lo culto, lo clásico y lo contemporáneo. A través del estudio de la Suite Poliserial para Órgano se analizará su método compositivo y se mostraran las características más relevantes de su música, señalando lo más destacado de su producción musical, grande en calidad y cantidad. Luis Bedmar es un músico que ha cultivado el estudio y profundizado en la investigación etnomusicológica del folclore andaluz llegando a captar su esencia y consiguiendo por un lado llegar a una abstracción perfecta y eidética de lo andaluz y por otro adaptarse a cada una de las vertientes estilísticas en las que trabaja: consecuencia de ello son el desarrollo de un sistema compositivo propio y el conseguimiento de una estética propia – fruto de la unión de esa raíz popular con los principios estructuralistas utilizados por Schoenberg – que se interna en la expresión de un andalucismo musical profundo y no cae en los tópicos tradicionales ni en imitaciones de lo ya realizado. La metodología empleada es mixta habiendo sido necesario combinar la análisis documental de fuentes impresas variadas con el método de la entrevista según la historiografía oral actual.

Published: January 2022

In 2020 and 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic caused drastic consequences around the world. The disease causes a flu syndrome with clinical pictures ranging from mild to severe. Since it is a systemic flu syndrome, several clinical manifestations have been described for this disease, but cases of hiccups associated with Covid-19 have rarely been reported. This report describes a rare case presented in which a patient with Covid-19 developed respiratory discomfort after complaining of persistent hiccups. The patient was treated clinically and experienced a sudden improvement in their dyspnoea immediately after the disappearance of the hiccups crisis. This sudden improvement suggests a very likely cause–effect relationship.
The Effect of Risk Management Practices on Performance of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises
Authors: Apaloo Sidney , Bright Dzah 
Published: January 2022

The main objective of the research is to examine the effect of risk management practices on performance of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs). The convenience sampling method was used for the study. The study used a sample size of 285 small and medium scale enterprise businesses for the analysis. The study used primary data obtained through questionnaire administration which was analysed using SPSS 25 and Microsoft Excel 2019. The study used both descriptive and inference analysis to analyse the data. According to the findings, low educational level of respondents helped to conclude that risk management is not widely practiced in SME businesses. Risk management practices are not well practiced in SME business because the SME owners possess low level of knowledge in the areas of identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring key operational risks. The positive relationship between risk management practices and performance is indicative that the proper practice of risk management by SME managers or owners influences performance. The significant relationship between the dependent variable (performance) and independent (risk management practices) provided the conclusion that, the more SME businesses improve on their risk management, the more they improve upon their performance. The study recommends an improvement in risk management knowledge for SME business owners and managers. The government should take adequate steps to provide risk management support for SMEs sectors. The study recommends SME businesses to put in place systems that enable the documentation of the business operations.
