Regarding Expressions of Landscape in Folksongs
Authors: Stundžienė Bronė 
Published: November 2022

The aim of the article is revealing ways and extent of reflections of the natural Lithuanian landscape taking place in folksongs during various periods of their development. From the modern perspective it is attempted to grasp the meanings of the landscape reflections and what it used to mean to the people composing those songs. The analysis in the article is limited to just two objects of the landscape, namely, the field and the mountain as interpreted by folksongs. Survey of the poetical meanings of these two landmarks is expected to suggest the right direction towards further elucidation of patterns of the meaning construction attributed to the landscape in folksongs. The ploughlands and meadows, characterized by the most typical feature of the Lithuanian scenery – its flatness, open up in Lithuanian folksongs as form of the landscape spiritualized (cultured) by human activity. Although the social and economic contextual plane of the fields and meadows is apparently given prominence in the songs, as the main source for the farmer’s living, the poetic expression attributed to these elements of landscape enables interpreting them as representations of the peasant idyll and blissful space. Further analysis of the folksong images of the field is related to the landscape semantics based on mythic and ritual notions. Manifestations of mountain in the folksongs lend even greater prominence to the ritually motivated symbolism of landscape. Two main conclusions are made by the author:1) The retrospective view of the ritual memory provides the key for further deciphering of the more general and broader meanings of the poetical landscape in folksongs; 2) The historical survey of the landscape expressions used in folksongs makes it clear that only folksongs of the latest period do break free from the mythic and ritual background, which is then replaced by other kinds of meaning construction attributed to the landscape, including the patriotic one.
Walking along the Story Road: Research on Relationship with Place
Authors: Kaniava Andrius 
Published: November 2022

The article presents a new research perspective on Lithuanian ancient sacred sites. The author adopts the phenomenological approach instead of the usual historical one. The phenomenological approach is centered on human experience, thus the focus shifts from the archaeological artefacts or historical data to the stories and meanings behind them. The author of the article introduces a new term – story-places, as a different definition for places that we usually call sacred sites. This allows him to temporarily set aside the religious meaning of these places and apprehend them as objects of consciousness. The research focuses on folk narratives from two different places in western Lithuania. The first one is told by Bronislava Kučinskienė living near one of the most famous hills in Lithuania – Šatrija. Bronislava spins a complex story of her own experience while singing and dancing on top of the hill, combined with a legend about a girl encountering a witch. We learn that a folk story could be much more complicated than it seems from the first glance. It reveals different meanings of the place. On the one hand, Šatrija appears enveloped in a warm memory about activities this woman loved doing in the past. On the other hand, the hill seems unpleasant, even horrifying, when the story line turns to witches.The second case in point evolves around Kazimieras Sereckis and Stasė Sereckienė. This couple have spent all their lives in the vicinity of the Plateliai Lake. They can tell numerous stories about this place. Both of them have a strong relationship with the lake. They know this place very well: every part of the lake has a name, and Kazimieras knows them all. Moreover, the inner calm characteristic to this couple not only affects their stories, but also their relationship with the place. The couple seems to have some kind of joint knowledge – they always tell stories together, finishing each other’s sentences. On the other hand, the Plateliai Lake, like Šatrija, also has multiple meanings. While the surface of the lake is well known and familiar, the underwater space has a completely different meaning: it is attributed to the dead, to the underworld, which also is reflected in the stories told by Kazimieras and Stasė.The author of the article seeks to reveal the complex and uneven relationship between the human mind and the place. The phenomenological approach helps us to shift our attention and take a walk along the story road. If we look close enough, there appears a host of different meanings. No meaning is permanent – it can and it does change. There is no universal picture of a place in human mind, because every new encounter, every new story has a new perspective. This article proposes an argument in favor of using a phenomenological approach for researching the sacred sites. It focuses on people’s stories, since every place, before anything else, is a story.
Ambraziejus Jonynas: the Bibliographic Index, 1937–2019
Authors: Daugirdaitė Vilma , Pleskačiauskienė Rūta 
Published: November 2022

This bibliographic index lists all published works by the Lithuanian folklore researcher Ambraziejus Jonynas (1919 02 02 – 2006 07 08), including his books, articles in research publications and encyclopedias, popular academic texts and information published in the dailies and cultural periodicals, compiled and edited publications, series of publications and books, where he was member of the editorial board. Publications about him and his research works are also included.
This bibliographic index should help understand and appreciate the Jonynas’ research biography and his role in the Lithuanian folkloristics. In addition, it is an important source for studies of the history of the discipline: the folklorist’s works present vivid illustration of what was relevant during his lifetime. Particularly hard pressure of the Soviet ideology characterized the first decade of Jonynas’ work in the field of folklore research (evident from the titles of the publications). Subsequent decades, during which the researchersʼ self-expression was still rather restricted, saw quite an intense editing of folklore source publications and other compilation works, in which Jonynas’ name also frequently appears: he compiled the publications, edited them or wrote the introductions. His individual research works that are still significant today were published in the late Soviet period. He analyzed interactions between literature and folklore, as well as the Lithuanian folklore historiography. He continued writing on these topics even later, after the restoration of the Lithuanian independence in 1990, giving considerable attention to the biographic facts of Lithuanian folklorists suppressed by the Soviets, and various issues that were important to the Lithuanian folkloristics and its history.
Jonynas felt an acute need and wish (or perhaps duty) to contribute to periodicals and cultural press. He used various occasions to introduce folklore collectors and researchers, discuss various issues of folklore survival, preservation, research and promotion. He also saw as his duty to remind of the important facts of the national culture, or at least briefly inform the society of folklorists’ achievements and plans.

Abstract. Increased coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels (ESLs) is one of the major hazards related to sea level rise. Estimates of return levels
obtained under the framework provided by extreme-event theory might be biased under climatic non-stationarity. Additional uncertainty is related to the choice of the model. In this work, we fit several extreme-value models to two long-term sea level records from Venice (96 years) and Marseille (65 years): a generalized extreme-value (GEV) distribution, a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), a point process (PP), the joint probability method (JPM), and the revised joint probability method (RJPM) under different detrending strategies. We model non-stationarity with a linear dependence of the model's parameters on the mean sea level. Our results show that non-stationary GEV and PP models fit the data better than
stationary models. The non-stationary PP model is also able to reproduce the rate of extremes occurrence fairly well. Estimates of the return levels
for non-stationary and detrended models are consistently more conservative than estimates from stationary, non-detrended models. Different models
were selected as being more conservative or having lower uncertainties for the two datasets. Even though the best model is case-specific, we show
that non-stationary extremes analyses can provide more robust estimates of return levels to be used in coastal protection planning.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Seismic hazard assessment in slow straining regions is challenging because earthquake catalogues only record events from approximately the last 100 years, whereas earthquake recurrence times on individual faults can exceed 1000 years. Systematic mapping of active faults allows fault sources to be used within probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, which overcomes the problems of short-term earthquake records. We use Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data to analyse surface deformation in the Luangwa Rift in Zambia and develop the Luangwa Rift Active Fault Database (LRAFD). The LRAFD is an open-source geospatial database containing active fault traces and their attributes and is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6513691. We identified 18 faults that display evidence for Quaternary activity, and empirical relationships suggest that these faults could cause earthquakes up to Mw 8.1, which would exceed the magnitude of historically recorded events in southern Africa. On the four most prominent faults, the median height of Quaternary fault scarps varies between 12.9 ± 0.4 and 19.2 ± 0.9 m, which suggests they were formed by multiple earthquakes. Deformation is focused on the edges of the Luangwa Rift: the most prominent Quaternary fault scarps occur along the 207 km long Chipola and 142 km long Molaza faults, which are the rift border faults and the longest faults in the region. We associate the scarp on the Molaza Fault with possible surface ruptures from two 20th century earthquakes. Thus, the LRAFD reveals new insights into active faulting in southern Africa and presents a framework for evaluating future seismic hazard.

Published: November 2022

A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA) é uma doença neurodegenerativa progressiva de neurônios motores superiores e inferiores sem acometer a atividade intelectual e cognitiva. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 43 anos de idade, com diagnóstico de ELA há cerca de 4 anos, que necessitou de atendimento hospitalar em Unidade de terapia Intensiva - UTI no Hospital Regional Público do Araguaia, com quadro de dispneia e secreção sanguinolenta pela traqueostomia e afebril. O hemograma apresentou baixa dos elementos figurados importantes do sangue como hemácias, hemoglobina, hematócrito e leucócitos. A cultura bacteriológica da secreção traqueal foi positiva para Staphylococcus Aureus. O exame clínico evidenciou grande acúmulo de placa visível e tártaro. No exame periodontal: Profundidade de Sondagem escore de zero (1 sítio com bolsa > = 5 mm). Recessão gengival tipo 1 (sem perda de inserção proximal). Sem mobilidade ou lesão de furca. Quando avaliado o Índice de Sangramento à sondagem escore 2 (10% dos sítios). O procedimento realizado foi a terapia periodontal básica, iniciando pela assepsia com Digluconato de Clorexidina à 0,12%, e raspagem supra gengival. Em seguida, profilaxia mecânica realizada em dois passos: escova de robson com pedra pomes e água; taça de borracha e pasta profilática. Finalizando com aplicação de flúor tópico e hidratação dos lábios com bepantol. Diante disso, entende-se que estes pacientes necessitam de um trabalho multidisciplinar, incluindo o Cirurgião-dentista em âmbito hospitalar e equipe que forneça atendimento odontológico homecare, prevenindo aparecimento e evolução de doenças fúngicas (candidíase oral), PAV e a doença periodontal.

Published: November 2022

Carex camposii Boiss. & Reut., endemic to high mountain ranges in Southern Iberian Peninsula (Sierra Nevada, Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra de Baza), is a morphologically and molecularly well-defined species included in Carex gr. laevigata (subg. Carex, sect. Spirostachyae). We have discovered a population of a morphologically similar species to C. camposii in a different mountain range (Sierra de Tejeda), that displayed some deviant morphological characters and was found in a different habitat from that typical of the species. In order to disentangle the taxonomic status of this population, we have conducted a phylogenetic analysis using five nuclear (ITS, ETS, G3PDH, CATP and GZF) and three plastid (matK, rpS16 and 5’trnK intron) DNA regions. In addition, a morphological analysis including the population from Sierra de Tejeda was carried out. The resulting phylogenetic trees show that the samples of the problematic population are closely related to C. camposii, while the morphological study revealed that a total of nine morphological features did not match those of typical C. camposii. Even though the samples from Sierra de Tejeda are genetically not well differentiated from C. camposii, the morphological and ecological differentiation supports its recognition as a new subspecies, C. camposii subsp. tejedensis. An assessment of its conservation status using IUCN categories and criteria suggests that it could be critically endangered (CR).

Published: November 2022

Aim. To identify the frequency and the structure of congenital malformations in the new socio-economic conditions of the region for the period betwee 2014-2018.Material and methods. Annual statistical data of form 32 “Report on the provision of medical care to pregnant women, women in labor and newborns”, approved by No. 54 of 11.11.2014, of the Center for Medical Statistics and Information of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Republic of Tajikistan for the period 2014-2018 were analyzed.Results and discussion. In the new socio-economic conditions of the country, a high frequency of congenital malformations has been established, which has an unstable tendency to decrease. The findings indicate that congenital malformations occur mainly among premature newborns, while lesions of the central nervous system prevail. Defects of the cardiovascular system prevail among full-term infants, which is possibly associated with the late diagnosis of the pathology.Conclusion. Perinatal screening will allow timely detection of congenital malformations of the fetus, reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Post-treatment survival rate of uterine corpus cancer patients
Authors: Muhamadi N. Z. 
Published: November 2022

Aim. To study the post-treatment survival of patients with uterine body cancer depending on a parity and the metabolic syndrome.Material and methods. 218 patients with a proven diagnosis of uterine body cancer, who were examined and treated at the State Institution “Republican Oncological Research Center” of the MoHSP of RT, for the period from 2007 to 2019, participated in the study. All patients, depending on the parity, were divided into groups: multiparous (n=101), low-parous (n=84), and infertile (n=33). Survival rate was measured using the Kaplan-Meier curve comparison using the Cox F-test, and differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05.Results. An analysis of the overall cumulative post-treatment survival of uterine body cancer patients by the KaplanMeier method showed that 55% of patients are alive 60 months after the treatment, and 48% of patients after 85 months. Survival rates in the group of women with multiple births are better than in the group of women with few births (55% of women with multiple births and 45% of women with few births lived for 70 months). But these differences are not statistically significant (p>0.05). The lowest survival rates are observed in the group of low-birth-weight uterine body cancer patients with metabolic syndrome, and the best rates are in the group of multiparous patients without metabolic syndrome although the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).Conclusion. The analysis of the survival of patients with uterine body cancer in the region of high birth rate using the Kaplan-Meier method showed that the survival of patients with uterine body cancer depends not only on the stage of the disease and methods of therapy but also on the parity and concomitant extragenital pathology, such as metabolic syndrome.

Authors: Shamsullozoda Sh. N. , Abdullozoda J. A. 
Published: November 2022

Aim. To study perioperative IAP parameters with various methods of hernioplasty in patients with ventral hernias.Materials and research methods. The results of the treatment of 148 patients with ventral hernias were studied. The first group included 58 patients for whom an anterior separation plasty was used for hernioplasty. The second group included 44 patients who underwent posterior separation of the abdominal wall muscles. The third group consisted of 46 patients who underwent onlay (n=28) and sublay (n=18) methods of hernioplasty.Results and discussion. In patients with W3 hernias, when closing the edges of the hernia orifice, there was a significant increase in IAP to a level corresponding to the I degree of intra-abdominal hypertension, which averaged 12.8±1.9 mm Hg (p<0.05). In patients with W4 hernias, the level of intra-abdominal pressure after closing the edges of the hernia orifice was significantly higher than in patients with W3 hernias, and on average they were 14.7±1.7 mm Hg. (p<0.05), which corresponded to the upper limit of the I degree of intra-abdominal pressure.Conclusion. The results of perioperative monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure indicate the tension nature of onlay and sublay hernioplasty methods, and therefore their use in hernias of W3 and W4 sizes is contraindicated. For large and giant hernias, the use of separation methods of hernioplasty is recommended.

Introduction: Gender determination in forensic medicine plays an important role in determining the identity which is very important for both the present time and in the future. (Aim)Background: To improve sex determination using skeletal remains, morphometrical study of some bones can be helpful. The aim of this study is to assess the application of five parameters of sacral bone by means of Three – Dimensional (3D) images reconstructed by multi-slice Computed Tomography (CT) in sex determination of Iranian individuals. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on one hundred of Iranian people with equal number of men and women who have undergone Pelvic CT in radiology department of Hazrat Rasoul-Akram Hospital were included. Five anthropometric indices including S1 Perimeter, S1 Area, Anterior-posterior diameter (APD), Maximum transverse diameter (MTD) and Maximum breadth of sacral alae (MBA) of their sacral bone were measured using computed tomography (CT) three dimensional images with an accuracy of 0.01º and 0.01 mm and then the association of the measurements with the gender of individuals was studied. Conclusion: No significant difference was observed between two gender groups in terms of age (P=0.678).

Background: A significant number of studies have explored the risk factors in patients requiring a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt following presentation with hydrocephalus, secondary to various types of cerebral haemorrhage, other brain disorders and complications. In this study, we intend to explore the risk factors in patients with Spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage that require ventriculoperitoneal shunt following initial implantation of an external ventricular drain. Methods: This study was based at the neurosurgery ward of Golestan Hospital in Ahvaz. We looked at all patients between the ages of 17 and 80 years who were admitted between 2019 and 2020 with spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage and were treated with an external ventricular drain (EVD). After the group was filtered for inclusion & exclusion criteria discussed later, their risk factors for dependence on long-term CSF drainage by ventriculoperitoneal shunt were evaluated. Data analysis, both descriptive and statistical were performed by SPSS software version 25. Results: It was observed that old age, brain surgery (except for EVD implantation), presence of underlying comorbidities including hypertension and Diabetes mellitus, duration of intubation categorised into three classes, <7 days, 7-14 days and >14 days, daily EVD quantity, EVD duration, distance from burr hole entry to the EVD exit site.
