Published: December 2021

Objective. To conduct a comparative analysis of changes in platelet aggregation parameters in COVID-19 patients which are related to anticoagulant therapy and to determine the effectiveness of the integrative parameter of platelet aggregation.Materials and methods. 34 patients with confirmed COVID-19 (group 1) were included into the study. To compare the obtained results, healthy females were included into group 2 (n = 30). The following parameters of aggregation were determined: degree, time, rate and area of aggregation (until its maximum degree).Results. The area of aggregation is the best among all the parameters of platelet aggregation to diagnose COVID-19 in patients according to the Hosmer-Lemeshow test: with an ADP inducer — 0.3 μg/ml (Chi-square = 9.481, p = 0.303); ADP — 1.25 μg/ml (Chi square = 12.577, p = 0.127); ADP — 2.5 μg/ml (Chi-square = 6.226, p = 0.622); adrenaline — 2.5 μM (Chi-square = 7.367, p = 0.498); adrenaline — 5 μM (Chi-square = 6.824, p = 0.556).Conclusion. The area of aggregation is an informative integrative parameter that allows to quantify the degree of aggregation in the treatment of hypercoagulation syndrome in COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Kovalchuk-Bolbatun T. V. , Smotryn S. M. 
Published: December 2021

Objective. To study the effect of thermal skin burns in experimental animals (rats) on the state of the system “mother-fetus” in a late gestation period.Materials and methods. An experimental study was carried out on 18 female outbred white rats weighing 300–350 g (per 9 rats in the control and experimental groups), which were exposed to third-degree thermal burns with an area of 12 cм2 in a late gestation period. The oxygen transport function and the main blood biochemical markers were studied. The effect of thermal injury on the course of pregnancy was studied.Results. The thermal skin burn in the rats in the late gestation period leads to the development of hypoxia, a decrease in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and metabolic acidosis in the mother’s body. Changes in the blood biochemical markers indicate the presence of endogenous intoxication. In the experimental animal group, a decrease in fetal weight was observed, an increase in the post-implantation fetal death rate was noted.Conclusion. Impaired oxygen homeostasis and endogenous intoxication in skin burns in rats in late gestation periods lead to fetal malnutrition and a qualitative increase in the post-implantation fetal death rate.
To the 100th anniversary of the Medical Faculty of Belarusian State University (1921–2021)
Authors: Kapliyeva M. P. , Kaplyev A. A. 
Published: December 2021

Objective. To study the process of formation of the Medical Faculty of Belarusian State University in the early 1920s.Materials and methods. Archival, periodical and narrative sources processed by general scientific and special historical research methods.Results. The emergency of a higher medical education in Belarus became possible only after the solid establishment of Soviet power in its territory. Political and ideological components played a significant role in the processes of the selection of future doctors and their education, but at the same time, democratic elements of self-government were implemented along with the formation of the Medical Faculty.Conclusion. Despite the successful experience of organizing the Medical Faculty of Belarusian State University, a small number of graduates in the 1920s and the general lack of doctors in the BSSR predetermined the need for its reorganization into an self-administered academic institution– Minsk Medical Institute.

Authors: Kozich E. A. , Krasavtsev E. L. 
Published: December 2021

Objective. To identify the predictors of the development of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis.Materials and methods. We analyzed the medical records of 79 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. The laboratory research included general and biochemical blood tests. The general blood test measured erythrocyte and leukocyte counts. The biochemical blood test measured the content of ALT (U/L), AST (E/L), total bilirubin (μmol/L), direct bilirubin (μmol/L), indirect bilirubin (μmol/L), alkaline phosphatase (U/L), albumin (g/L), urea (mmol/L), creatinine (mmol/L), cholesterol (mmol/L).Viral hepatitis markers were determined for all the patients.Results. The predictors of the development of hepatorenal syndrome were identified: increased leukocyte count, increased total and indirect bilirubin levels, urea level and decreased erythrocyte count and albumin level. The most specific predictors were the amount of indirect bilirubin (98 %) and the content of albumin in the serum (89.8 %), and the most sensitive predictors were AST (96.7 %) and the content of red blood cells and creatinine (73.3 %).Conclusion. The most significant predictors of the development obtained will contribute to the diagnosis of the development of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Lithofacies Analysis of the Tista River Deposits, Rangpur, Bangladesh
Authors: Saha Sudip , Roy Mrinal Kanti , Reza A.H.M. Selim 
Published: December 2021

Eight (8) distinct lithofacies within the fluviatile reach of the Tista River have been recognized by the detailed study of the sediments as exposed along the river bank and river bars. Genetically, the matrix-supported conglomerate (Gms), massive sand (Sm), Trough cross stratified sand (St), planar cross stratified sand (Sp), ripple laminated sand (Sr) comprise the channel deposits whereas, the ripple laminated sand (Sr), parallel laminated sand (Sh), clay with silt (Fl) and massive Clay (Fm) represent overbank fine deposits. The channel deposits were laid down under relatively high energy conditions compared to the sediments of overbank fines. The stratigraphic succession is indicative of fining upward sequence. The dominance of coarser-grained sediments at the base of the lithostratigraphic unit, especially the matrix supported conglomerate (Gms) suggests that the deposition took place in the proximal part of the Tista Fan, which might be of glacial origin. Massive clay (Fm) is the final stage of vertical aggradations in the overbanks, possibly in the floodplains, flood basins, and back swamps when the velocity of the transporting medium was virtually lean that promotes the deposition of clay materials from suspension. The growth of cracks in the sedimentary succession is resulting from the compaction of the sediments and/or instant change in the paleoslope direction. The unimodal distribution of paleocurrent data with high mode value indicates mainly unidirectional sediment transport. The study of the lithofacies manifests that the deposits are produced by the braided river and debris flows. The modification of the depositional pattern from debris flow to overbank fines discloses the change of climatic condition in the Quaternary period.

O FUTURO DA CRIAÇÃO: TENTATIVAS PARA O DIÁLOGO ENTRE TEOLOGIA E CIÊNCIA A PARTIR DA CRISE ECOLÓGICA
Authors: Vicente José Armando 
Published: December 2021

Pergunta-se: o que significa, pois, estudar o “futuro da criação”? De fato, diante da atual crise ecológica, urge perguntar se a criação tem futuro. Sem dúvida, não é uma empresa fácil responder a essa questão. A ideia o “futuro da criação” pode ser classificada de várias maneiras, conforme se refira à meta (telos) ou fim (finis) da criação. Se a criação possui uma meta, esta consiste em que ela se cumpra, e a criação caminha passo a passo e com segurança rumo a esta meta. As leituras científicas de Friedman, Lamaitre, Hubble, Hyle, Hsu nos ajudarão a resolver o problema no contexto do futuro da criação: a idéia comum é que existe, não obstante, uma marcante assimetria entre o estado inicial e o estado final da criação. De outro lado, a leitura cristã de Okure, Moltmann, Penha, Boff, nos mostrará que todas as coisas foram criadas com vistas ao Messias, pois o Messias redimirá todas as coisas para sua verdade e as reunirá para o reino de Deus e, dessa forma, levará a criação à consumação.

Authors: Silva Tiago Dantas Sebastião da 
Published: December 2021

Avaliação é uma atividade que envolve uma analise profunda de elementos importantes em determinado processo, uma observação analítica para elaboração de um diagnóstico que possibilite o entendimento dos fenômenos e fatos que interferem, positivamente e negativamente, na tomada de decisões. Atrelado a avalição podemos utilizar estratégias que viabilizem a tomada de decisão na Prestação de Serviços, ou seja, “aplicando e explorando maneiras disponíveis de condições favoráveis com vistas à consecução de objetivos específicos”. Os Valores Organizacionais são vistos como princípios e crenças compartilhados pelos empregados e quando analisados estrategicamente orientam o funcionamento e a vida da organização, de forma a alcançar a meta da mesma. A vista disso procura-se observar quatro fatore viabilizam essa avaliação: (1) fator de apoio a decisão, possibilita a redução da incerteza e permite escolhas com menor risco e no momento adequado; (2) fator de produção ou operacional, permite criar e introduzir no mercado produtos ou novas técnicas (bens ou serviços) de maior valor adicionado; (3) fator de sinergia, condicionado a qualidade das ligações e relações entre seus membros internos e externos;(4) fator determinante de comportamento, elementos que exercem influência sobre o comportamento dos indivíduos e dos grupos e consequentemente afetam o processo organizacional. Desta forma, o presente artigo tem como objetivo orientar as organizações para desenvolvimento de ferramentas qualitativas e quantitativas de analise dos valores organizacionais na prestação de serviços, bem como, a importância de avaliar estrategicamente, utilizando essas ferramentas para compreensão e melhoria dos processos organizacionais.
A LITERATURA DISTÓPICA E A SUA OBSCURA UTOPIA
Authors: Silva Erico Monteiro da 
Published: December 2021

A literatura distópica, gênero literário vinculado a ficção científica, narra um futuro obscuro da humanidade frente as ações de um estado totalitário e nos fornecem possibilidades de debates críticos, tanto no campo literário quanto no campo sociopolítico. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir e apresentar os elos que compõem a distopia presente em Nós, Admirável Mundo Novo e 1984. A partir dos conceitos da literatura utópica e distópica, analisar o funcionamento do enredo em suas diversas características, principalmente o alerta sobre as consequências de idéias sociopolíticas e tecnológicas que pretendem protagonizar o progresso humano. Para esse empreendimento utilizamos os conceitos teóricos sobre utopia e distopia em Barriel (2014), Claeys (2010) e, os conceitos gerais de ficção científica em Roberts (2018). A metodologia utilizada é a bibliográfica e comparativa devido as marcas presentes estarem compartilhada, de modo geral, nas obras do (sub)gênero da ficção científica. As distopias, ao contrário das utopias e suas sociedades racionalmente felizes, demonstram um futuro catastrófico ao apresentar as tendências utópicas que se mostram modelos de realizações perfeitas para a humanidade, mas as consequências são falaciosas e totalitárias. Observamos que os autores das obras citadas utilizam sátiras utópicas como meio de crítica social ao demonstrar como seria um mundo controlado com o objetivo de prover uma distorcida felicidade e como a consciência coletiva iria se adaptar nestas realidades.
Different Perspectives of Homeopathic Research Seal the Year 2021
Authors: Bonamin Leoni 
Published: December 2021

In this last 2021 issue, five articles are published concerning different aspects of homeopathic research, from a review of clinical studies on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and the therapeutic potential of homeopathy to treat these cases (Dewan et al., 2021) to a detailed systematic analysis of nanoparticles suspended in homeopathic preparations (Van Wassenhoven et al., 2021). In between, some interesting reports can also be found, as a case report about the successful treatment of a rectum prolapse in a kitten in a period of a few days with no need of surgery (Makker and Arora, 2021); an opinion article (update article) reported the necessity to develop clinical studies on homeoprofilaxy of Covid-19 in which the key aspects of immunocompetence could be evaluated, such as the serum levels of cytokines, mainly those related to the systemic inflammatory syndrome such as IL-6, and of neutralizing IgG and IgM (Patil, 2021); and an original article about the physicochemical properties of a Covid-19 nosode, in which different patterns were described using spectrophotometric methods, resulting in an electronic signature of each potency (Kumar Singh et al., 2021).

This special issue of TEXT responds to the current challenge faced by writers in the academy to identify with greater precision what it is about their work which is genuinely an original contribution to knowledge across the field of creative writing (or, more rarely, in another field). It follows from the acclaim with which the first three _Creative Writing as Research_ special issues, published in TEXT in 2010, 2012 and 2014, have been met. In those landmark collections, creative writing pieces from writers based in universities around Australia and New Zealand were published under refereed circumstances with statements regarding their status as research attached. Not only – as reader feedback told us – did TEXT’s readership enjoy consuming a range of creative work from creative writing academic researchers, they also found the research statements useful as models for their own practice and others in their universities.
Writing Across/Between Borders: A Transnational Approach to Creative Writing in the Asia Pacific
Authors: Boey Kim Cheng 
Published: December 2021

When postcolonial studies made its debut in Western academes, it was, to use Stuart Hall’s words, ’the bearer of such powerful unconscious investments—a sign of desire for some, and equally for others, a sign of danger’. It is a similar reaction of apprehension and excitement that Creative Writing generates in the Asian Pacific academes and cultures, especially in countries with a colonial history. This essay explores some of the difficulties facing the introduction of Creative Writing in the region, namely how it may be perceived as another form of Western cultural imperialism. It proposes a corollary study of transnational writers as a mediating influence and suggests that what Jahan Ramazani calls ‘transnational poetics’ may help resolve the binaries of colonial/postcolonial, east/west, local/global, and uncover new ways of looking at borders for writers/readers in the region.
Australian universities approaches to Occupational Risk Management for screen production
Authors: Jill Holt, Nicholas Oughton Susan Kerrigan, Pieter Aquilia, 
Published: December 2021

Australian screen production programs, offering both undergraduate and post-graduate degrees, continue to face challenges in upholding professional levels of Occupational Risk Management (ORM) within a student environment. These programs must address the confines of rigid ORM criteria within their university, which are largely designed for science-based academic research, and also adhere to standards of industrial health and safety codes set by state and federal governments. To date, academic literature in the area has been minimal, and many screen production programs have looked to industry and professional bodies for student guidelines. However, Oughton (2010) argues that even the existing ORM model for the creative arts requires revision. In an attempt to understand the current profile of ORM education and practices within screen production programs, the Australian Screen Production Education and Research Association (ASPERA) conducted a study amongst its 20 member institutions. A survey was administered and a case study was sought from one of the leading academic institutions in screen production in Australia. The goal of the study is a preliminary recommendation, which suggests a plan for a ORM Best Practice Model that will address the management of ORM issues across a range of screen production education programs on offer within Australia.
Managing occupational risk in the creative industries: a new perspective—or has OHS reached its use-by date?
Authors: Oughton Nicholas 
Published: December 2021

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) was designed in the mid nineteen-seventies to enforce compliance with workplace safety legislation and improve industrial working conditions for all workers. This initiative led to improved safety performance across most Australian industries. Thirty-five years on, industrial contexts have changed dramatically with the result that OHS, as originally conceived and currently practiced requires reform. In setting about this task, consideration should be given to the rise of ‘New’ or ‘Creative’ industries (film, television and entertainment software; writing, publishing and print media; performing arts; visual art and design; music composition and production), and a commensurate decline in traditional industry. Creative industry thrives on risk opportunity and flexibility, and is constrained by risk avoidance. An obsession with loss-control and systems methodology that permeates traditional OHS practice is antipathetic to creative enterprise. This paper discusses the contemporary context of OHS in Australia and its failure to accommodate creative enterprise. It concludes by proposing the adoption of a new model to be called Occupational Risk Management and Wellbeing (ORMW).
