Published: October 2022

BackgroundsCongestive heart failure is a serious chronic condition when the heart’s muscles become too damaged and a condition in which one or both ventricles cannot pump sufficient blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the complications time of congestive heart failure patients treated from January 2016 to December 2019 at Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized referral hospital in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based retrospective data collection was collected from the medical charts of 218 randomly selected congestive heart failure patients. The Kaplan-Meier curve and the Cox proportional hazards model were used to compare and identify the factors associated with time to complication in patients with congestive heart failure.ResultsThe median complication time of congestive heart failure patients was 22 months [95% CI: 21.98–28.01]. About 194 (88.99%) of the patients were complicated. The Kaplan-Meier curve depicts the survival probability of complicated patients decreasing as the complication time increases. The hazard ratios for serum sodium concentration, left ventricular ejection fraction, patients from rural areas, age of patients, serum hemoglobin concentration, and New York heart association classes I, II, and III were given 0.94 [95% CI: 0.90–1.00], 0.74 [95% CI: 0.65–0.85], 0.75 [95% CI: 0.68–0.84], 1.28 [95% CI: 1.12–1.46], 0.89 [95% CI: 0.85–0.94], 0.44 [95% CI: 0.36–0.53], 0.54 [95% CI: 0.47–0.62] and 0.73 [95% CI: 0.65–0.81] respectively, and they are statistically associated with the complication time of congestive heart failure patients.ConclusionsThe median complication time of congestive heart failure patients was 22 months. This study strongly suggests that healthcare awareness should be strengthened earlier about the potential complications for patients with lower serum sodium concentrations below the threshold and aged congestive heart failure patients to reduce the risk of developing complications.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundMitochondrial diseases/disorders (MDs), for decades, have been identified as a key underlying condition for many chronic diseases globally. However, data on the knowledge and prevalence of MDs in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa are lacking. This study assessed the knowledge, and awareness, of MDs among senior medical doctors in the five tertiary hospitals in Ghana.MethodData were collected from one hundred and twenty-eight (128) medical doctors in the five Tertiary Hospitals in Ghana using both closed and open-ended questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics.ResultsOf the 128 respondents, 70.32% were senior medical officers and above, 87% of them indicated that they were aware of MDs and over 90% said physicians do not often diagnose MDs in Ghana. About 81% indicated that MDs are associated with chronic illnesses whilst 72% said the disease is diagnosed in both males and females. About 45% of the respondents alluded to the fact that MDs are difficult to diagnose, are associated with mutations in both the mitochondrial and the nuclear DNA, and are non-infectious diseases. Approximately 85% said nervous system dysfunction and muscle weakness are some of the symptoms associated with MDs whilst 77% said fatigue is also one of the symptoms. About 38% of the respondents specified that they encounter myopathies. A majority (70%) did not know about the availability of any consensus or standard diagnostic procedure and/or drugs for MDs.ConclusionThere is a high level of knowledge and awareness of MDs among the respondents. However, there is a low disease encounter, which could be due to a lack of diagnostic protocols or a low disease prevalence. It is, therefore recommend that a patient perspective study, which looks at clinical records and laboratory data be conducted to fully ascertain the prevalence of MDs in Ghana and that appropriate educational strategies and interventions aimed at improving the diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases in Ghana be put in place.

Female labors shows contribution in economic activity, for example in SMEs case: convection, provides many opportunities for the female workers, because they can use their the skills in it. On the other hand in the household, the husband as the head of the household income is insufficient for the needs of the family . Women's participation in economic activity is expected, to contribute to the family economy, to achieve that it is required a fairly high level of productivity, but in fact, the result is not maximum. The purpose of research is to discover economic conditions of the female labor and women labor productivity, identify factors driving and inhibiting female labor productivity, contribution of the female labor economics family.

Results and analysis In this paper cross sectional is used as the research method, descriptive analytic sample of 100 women workers in four SMEs convection located in Kudus City District is selected using “purposive” and “accidental” methods, then the data is analyzed “descriptively” with frequency tables, then the results are presented as narrative. Results and analysis The working income based on the target, but the female labor do not feel it as a heavy burden. The product results are consistent to the quality threshold, none were ever a damaged product, the female labor complete the work appropriate with the deadline. Supporting productivity factor: skill , experience, responsibility, discipline(rarely late, rarely absent), efficiently using their break time: taking a break while completing the unfinished work . Inhibiting productivity factor: often too late, frequently absent to complete homework as a housewife, SME does not have strict rules. The income is dynamic, no fix income, i.e.: daily, based batches, sometimes really low. Although most of them feel sufficient with the salary, but there are labors who feels their salary is not enough for daily rules. Therefore, they work harder to solve this problem, or they try to reduce their expenditure.
Arc-descent for the perfect loop functor andp-adic Deligne–Lusztig spaces
Authors: Ivanov Alexander B. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe prove that the perfect loop functorLXof a quasi-projective schemeXover a local non-archimedean fieldksatisfies arc-descent, strengthening a result of Drinfeld. Then we prove that for an unramified reductive groupG, the mapL⁢G→L⁢(G/B){LG\rightarrow L(G/B)}is av-surjection. This gives a mixed characteristic version (forv-topology) of an equal characteristic result (in étale topology) of Bouthier–Česnavičius. In the second part of the article, we use the above results to introduce a well-behaved notion of Deligne–Lusztig spacesXw⁢(b){X_{w}(b)}attached to unramifiedp-adic reductive groups. We show that in various cases these sheaves are ind-representable, thus partially solving a question of Boyarchenko. Finally, we show that the natural covering spacesX˙w˙⁢(b){\dot{X}_{\dot{w}}(b)}are pro-étale torsors over clopen subsets ofXw⁢(b){X_{w}(b)}, and analyze some examples.
A posteriori error estimates for hierarchical mixed-dimensional elliptic equations
Authors: Varela Jhabriel , Ahmed Elyes , Keilegavlen Eirik , Nordbotten Jan M. , Radu Florin A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Mixed-dimensional elliptic equations exhibiting a hierarchical structure are commonly used to model problems with high aspect ratio inclusions, such as flow in fractured porous media. We derive general abstract estimates based on the theory of functional a posteriori error estimates, for which guaranteed upper bounds for the primal and dual variables and two-sided bounds for the primal–dual pair are obtained. We improve on the abstract results obtained with the functional approach by proposing four different ways of estimating the residual errors based on the extent the approximate solution has conservation properties, i.e., (1) no conservation, (2) subdomain conservation, (3) grid-level conservation, and (4) exact conservation. This treatment results in sharper and fully computable estimates when mass is conserved either at the grid level or exactly, with a comparable structure to those obtained from grid-based a posteriori techniques. We demonstrate the practical effectiveness of our theoretical results through numerical experiments using four different discretization methods for synthetic problems and applications based on benchmarks of flow in fractured porous media.
Subtitling quality assessment from a relevance-theoretic perspective
Authors: Bogucki Łukasz 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Assessing the quality of translation is never straightforward and rarely objective. Context, audience, text type, function and lexis are only some of the criteria that need to be taken into account. In the case of constrained intersemiotic translation, subtitling being a prime example thereof, determining universal criteria for assessment is particularly testing. Often referred to as “necessary evil”, audiovisual translation (AVT) needs to avoid distracting the audience, while aiding their comprehension of the audiovisual message. This is particularly the case for additive AVT, for instance subtitling, where the translation does not replace the original, but coexists with it. Relevance Theory, a controversial but flexible approach to communication, may provide a viable framework for gauging subtitling quality. The interplay between relevance, communicative intention and processing effort can help explain the rationale behind the process of decision-making in the practice of AVT. This paper provides a theoretical foundation for the application of Sperber and Wilson’s Relevance Theory to interlingual subtitling, followed by an analysis of selected examples from a large corpus of mostly English-language movies, series and documentaries streamed on Netflix with Polish subtitles. Though the corpus is Polish-centred, the research conclusions are intended to be universal enough to apply regardless of the language pair.
A random walk algorithm to estimate a lower bound of the star discrepancy
Authors: Alsolami Maryam , Mascagni Michael 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In many Monte Carlo applications, one can substitute the use of pseudorandom numbers with quasirandom numbers and achieve improved convergence. This is because quasirandom numbers are more uniform that pseudorandom numbers. The most common measure of that uniformity is the star discrepancy. Moreover, the main error bound in quasi-Monte Carlo methods, called the Koksma–Hlawka inequality, has the star discrepancy in the formulation. A difficulty with this bound is that computing the star discrepancy is very costly. The star discrepancy can be computed by evaluating a function called the local discrepancy at a number of points. The supremum of these local discrepancy values is the star discrepancy. If we have a point set in

points. This approximation is much less expensive that computing the star discrepancy, but still accurate enough to provide information on convergence. Our numerical results show that the random walk algorithm has the same convergence rate as the Monte Carlo method, which is

Authors: Kader Saadet , Akdağ Turan , Ecer Büşra , Abuşoğlu Sedat , Unlu Ali 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Vitamin D is one of the major hormones involved in the metabolism of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). In the present study, we aimed to determine the analytical performance of the immunoassay method used for determining plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in routine clinical practice in laboratories.

Methods
Venous blood samples were collected from 156 patients for the comparisons and were analyzed with Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT, the Roche Cobas 6,000’s module e601, Abbott Architect i2000, and the liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Results
The four methods were analyzed and compared through the Passing-Bablok regression for 25(OH)D, and the highest correlation was found at LC-MS/MS and Cobas 6,000’s module e601 (r=0.799), LC-MS/MS/Abbott Architect i2000, and LC-MS/MS/Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT as r=0.736, 0.721, respectively. The correlation coefficient was found between Abbott Architect i2000 with Roche Cobas e601 and Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT as r=0.934 and r=0.907, respectively. Also, the correlation coefficient was found between Roche Cobas e601 and Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT as r=0.906.

Conclusions
The Roche Cobas assay showed better performance, compared with the other assays. Based on our findings, the chemiluminescence methods in automated systems seem to be expedient.
Wohin wenden nach den Turns? Eine wissenschaftssoziologische und forschungslogische Betrachtung am Beispiel des „Turn to Practice“
Authors: Anicker Fabian 
Published: October 2022

ZusammenfassungSpätestens seit den 1990er Jahren verlieren die bis dahin tonangebenden Großtheorien in der deutschsprachigen soziologischen Theorielandschaft an Einfluss. Im Zuge eines Strukturwandels der wissenschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit werden Aufgaben der Gegenstandserschließung zunehmend von Sozialtheorien übernommen, die Grundelemente des Sozialen definieren, ohne damit größere systematische Ansprüche zu verbinden. Am Beispiel desTurn to Practicewird gezeigt, dass sozialtheoretische Konvergenzbehauptungen zwar einige der zeitlichen und sozialen Strukturprobleme der Theorieproduktion lösen, aber sachlich eine zu schmale Basis für kollektive Theorieentwicklung darstellen.
Valor pronóstico de algunos rasgos histológicos en el cáncer de mama
Authors: Herranz G. 
Published: October 2022

Se ha realizado un estudio sobre la significación pronóstica de la morfología nuclear y la infiltración linfocitaria del tumor primitivo y de la histiocitosis de los senos en los ganglios linfáticos axilares en 348 pacientes operadas por carcinoma de mama. Las enfermas fueron seguidas hasta el momento de la muerte o por un mínimo de cinco años después de la operación.
Se han observado mayores supervivencias en los casos que presentaban una mayor diferenciación nuclear, una infiltración linfocitaria más intensa y un grado de histiocitosis sinusoidal más desarrollado en los ganglios regionales. Estos factores, aunque independientes entre sí, muestran un efecto aditivo, registrándose una supervivencia del 100 por cien a los cinco años de la operación para los casos con grados elevados de los tres parámetros morfológicos estudiados. Los casos de gradación mínima solamente alcanzaron esa supervivencia en una proporción del 6 por ciento.
El autor cree que los factores estudiados no tienen la significación de índices de las relaciones entre tumor y organismo portador.
Fenómeno L. E. en los tejidos
Authors: Herranz G. 
Published: October 2022

Se presenta la historia clínica, los hallazgos de autopsia, y el estudio microscópico de un caso de lupus eritematoso diseminado. En diferentes órganos se encontraron aspectos morfológicos que se interpretan como un fenómeno L. E. en los tejidos. Estos consisten en: a) homogenización nuclear, b) masas hematoxilínicas (cuerpos de Gross), y c) células L. E. También fueron observadas figuras de expulsión del núcleo en raras ocasiones. La homogenización nuclear se presentó bajo dos aspectos distintos: en las células del tejido conjuntivo afectadas el núcleo se mostraba , como una masa hinchada, con pérdida de la estructura cromatínica y teñida de un color violeta-púrpura, mientras que en las células parenquimatosas (hígado, riñón, páncreas, suprarrenal) los núcleos aparecen como ligeramente retraídos, homogéneos y de un color azul pálido. Los cuerpos de Gross estaban presentes en casi todos los órganos examinados. Las células L. E. fueron vistas en el bazo, hígado y adventicia aórtica y, en gran número, en la glándula suprarrenal derecha que era asiento de una necrosis con hemorragia.
Los hallazgos sugieren que el fenómeno L. E. puede producirse intravitam y que probablemente su aparición está en relación con la presencia de células necróticas, las cuales pueden ser afectadas por el factor L. E. Los rasgos histológicos del fenómeno L. E. pueden constituir un valioso criterio para el diagnóstico del L. E. D.

Successful laparoscopic management of adnexal torsion in early pregnancy: A case report
Authors: Jaiswal Sarita 
Published: October 2022

Ovarian torsion is an urgent gynaecological surgery and can occur during pregnancy. Ovarian torsion during pregnancy carries significant risk to pregnant woman and intrauterine fetus. Diagnosing ovarian torsion during pregnancy can be challenging as most frequently ,patients present with abdominal pain and non specific symptoms. If the diagnosis of ovarian torsion is missed, it can lead to ovarian necrosis and sepsis with subsequent loss of ovarian and tubal function. This condition not only threatens the pregnancy but also has great implications for future fertility. A 26year-old G2P1L1 at 5 weeks gestational age presented to us with right sided lower abdominal abdominal pain radiating to back, burning micturation, and low grade fever. Ultrasound showed an enlarged edematous enlarged right ovary with two hemorrhagic cysts with absent flow on color Doppler. The patient underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery, during which the necrotic adnexa was removed. She was placed on progesterone therapy postoperatively and eventually delivered a healthy baby at term. Ovarian torsion though is extremely rare problem in pregnancy, it should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of abdominal pain.
A PARRESÍA COMO EXPERIÊNCIA ARTÍSTICA A PARTIR DO CURSO DE MICHEL FOUCAULT DE 1984
Authors: Soares SeiZo Vincius 
Published: October 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a atitude parresiasta ética desde Sócrates, enfatizando o modo de vida cínico. A questão central é a de como relacionar a parresía ética à experiência artística no campo visual, onde o artista, como um cínico sem palavras, busca expor-se sem subterfúgios. Essa questão é relevante, pois a parresía aplicada a si mesmo e entendida como experiência transformadora pode produzir tanto palavras e atitudes quanto objetos considerados como obras de arte. Para tanto, buscamos no texto referências e conceitos que nos oferecem possibilidades de criar estas relações com o campo das Artes sem palavra. Pretendemos com isso contribuir para o entendimento sobre a experiência artística de forma ampla, como prática filosófica bem como formação educativa.
