Association between Atopic Dermatitis and Major Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Qi Hongjiao , Wang Lifeng , Li Linfeng 
Published: November 2022

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in population-based studies, however, their causal relationship is still unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the causal association of AD with risk of cardiovascular outcomes using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Method: We extracted summary-level data for AD, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction, angina pectoris from published, nonoverlapping genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the primary analysis. Alternative methods, including weighted median, MR Egger, MR-Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier, weighted mode, and leave-out analysis, were performed to examine potential pleiotropy.
Results: 13 SNPs (13,287 cases and 41,345 controls) were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). No associations of AD with risks of stroke [odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95%CI: 0.97-1.09, p = 0.3630], heart failure (OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 0.99-1.09, p= 0.119), coronary artery disease (OR = 1.00, 95%CI: 0.96-1.05, p= 0.988), myocardial infarction (OR = 1.00, 95%CI: 1.00-1.00, p= 0.322), and angina pectoris (OR = 1.00, 95%CI: 1.00-1.00, p= 0.369) was found. No significant effect of pleiotropy was detected.
Conclusions: This MR study does not support a causal effect of AD on stroke, heart failure, CAD, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris.
COVID-19 Knowledge in Patients with Psoriasis Receiving Systemic Therapy: A Questionnaire Study
Authors: Özçelik Sinan , Kılıç Fatma Arzu 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Little is known about how much the impact of patient-driven issues on the treatment of psoriasis in the amid of COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the COVID-19 knowledge of the patients with psoriasis receiving systemic therapy in the pandemic.
Methods: The patients who received systemic treatment for psoriasis presented to our dermatology outpatient clinic were enrolled in the study. A questionnaire measuring the level of knowledge about COVID-19 and psoriasis was administered to patients. Demographics and disease characteristics of patients were recorded.
Results: A total of 183 patients with psoriasis were enrolled in the study. Of the patients, 33.9% thought that psoriasis exposes them to a risk of getting COVID-19, 30.6% declared that psoriasis treatment exposes them to a risk of getting COVID-19, and 59.6% were worried about getting COVID-19. The treatment discontinuation rate was 42.1%. The patients with high scholarity level showed more anxiety and discontinued their treatment.
Conclusions: The patients with psoriasis did not have adequate knowledge of the effect of both psoriasis itself and its treatment on COVID-19 during the pandemic. The patients on biologic therapy tend to discontinue their treatment based upon the physician's recommendation, whereas those on conventional therapy mostly on their own will. Clinicians should provide patients with not only as much information as they need but also current evidence about both psoriasis and COVID-19.
Granuloma annulare: a case-control study of possible associated diseases.
Authors: Fornons-Servent Rosa , Bauer-Alonso Andrea , Llobera-Ris Càudia , Penín Rosa María , Marcoval Joaquim 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Granuloma annulare (GA) has been reported as associated with multiple diseases, mainly diabetes mellitus (DM), thyroid diseases, and dyslipidemia. However, the high prevalence of some of these illnesses makes it difficult to assess whether the association is real or fortuitous. Our objective was to analyse the clinical features of our GA patients and the possible associations.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of 225 patients with biopsy-proven GA diagnosed between 2009 and 2019 in a referral university hospital in Barcelona, Spain. Clinical charts were reviewed to obtain clinical data. As a control group we used a random list of 225 patients diagnosed in the hospital's traumatology department in the same period, matched by age and sex.
Results: Diabetes was diagnosed in 40 GA patients (18%) (34 in the control group, 15%) and hypothyroidism in 33 (15%) (22 in the control group 9.8%); the differences were not significant. We also did not detect any association with uveitis, sarcoidosis, necrobiosis lipoidica, Sweet's syndrome, HIV infection, hepatitis B, or haematological malignancies. We only detected a possible association with hepatitis C (6 GA patients, 2.7%, versus 0 controls, p = 0.03), and hypercholesterolemia (108 GA patients, 48%, versus 79 controls, 35%, p = 0.007).
Conclusions: The possible pathogenic explanations for the association with hepatitis C and hypercholesterolemia seem unlikely. We consider that the association of GA with other diseases, including hypercholesterolemia and hepatitis C, is doubtful and that it there is no justification rule out possible associated diseases in patients with GA.
Alterations of the human gut microbiome in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: a case-control study and review of the literature
Authors: Demirel Öğüt Neslihan , Hasçelik Gülşen , Atakan Nilgün 
Published: November 2022

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a systemic inflammatory disease that extends beyond the skin. The role of gut microbiome alterations in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders is remarkable.Objective: Based on the hypothesis that dysbiosis in the gut microbiome may be a trigger for systemic inflammation in the pathogenesis of HS, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the gut microbiome is altered in HS patients comparing with healthy subjects.Methods: In present case-control study, fecal samples from 15 patients with HS and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA-based metagenomic analysis. The V3 and V4-hypervariable regions of 16S rDNA gene were amplified from all samples and sequenced by the Illumina MiSeq platform. Bioinformatic analyzes were performed in QIIME2. Results: Shannon alpha diversity index showed significantly reduced diversity in HS patients (P = 0.048). Bray-Curtis Dissimilarity and Jaccard Distance revealed that the gut microbial composition of HS patients was significantly distinctive from that of controls (P = 0.01 and P = 0.007, respectively). The relative abundance of unclassified Clostridiales, unclassified Firmicutes and Fusicatenibacter in HS was significantly lower than that in controls (P = 0.005, P = 0.029, and P = 0.046, respectively).Conclusion: This study indicated that significant alterations in gut microbiota of HS patients could play a critical role in the pathogenesis of HS and might be a trigger for systemic inflammation. Increased understanding the pathogenesis of HS will shed light on the new potential therapeutic targets and novel treatment options.
Fra tilskuer til vitne i virkelighetsteatrets rom
Authors: Foyn Bruun Ellen 
Published: November 2022

I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg en forestilling som inngikk i et sosialt tiltak med unge voksne utenfor utdanning og arbeid, i regi av Ville Veier, et entreprenørskap i Stavanger. Alle scenene var bygget på deltakernes egne livserfaringer, og de stod selv på scenen som aktører. Det tematiske utgangspunktet for forestillingen var rom, og dette ble formidlet og iscenesatt gjennom ulike kunstneriske grep. Problemstillingen er å undersøke i hvilken grad de kunstpedagogiske intensjonene ble gjenspeilet og formidlet i det kunstneriske produktet. Analysen fokuserer på tre spor: skuespilleren som tegn og hendelse, rom som innhold og form og relasjonen til publikum. I oppsummeringen viser jeg hvordan publikums rolle som tilskuere ble forskjøvet til vitner i tråd med denne typen sosialt virkelighetsteater.
English title: From spectator to witness in the theatre space of the real In this article, I investigate a performance that was part of a social intervention with young adults excluded from mainstream education and workforce, produced by a social entrepreneurship in Stavanger. The scenes were based on the participants’ life experiences and they were the performers. Room was the chosen thematic point of departure for the performance making and this was conveyed and staged through multiple aesthetic means. The research question examines in which way the performance embodied and conveyed the intentions of transformative learning for the participants. The analysis focuses on three tracks: the actor, space as content and form, and the relationship to the audience. To sum up, I demonstrate how the role of the audience was displaced from spectator to witness in line with this kind of social theatre of the real.

Authors: Abegaz Belta Asnakew , Woldeyes Dawit Habte , Dessalew Getachew Wassihun 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background: The human foot has three arches. The medial longitudinal arch is the longest, the highest, and the most important. The development of a normal foot arch is greatly affected by genetic inheritance, differences in the environment, socioeconomic development, body weight, sex, ethnicity, and culture. The purpose of this study was to compare the arch type between shoe-wearing and barefooted individuals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The data obtained were checked for clarity and consistency before analysis. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics and chi-square. p-values less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
Result: From a total of 446 subjects, 217 (48.7%) were males, 131 (29.6%) were urban residents and 226 (50.6 %) were shoe wearers. From the total sample, 46.2%, 42.8%, and 11% are high, normal, and flat-arched individuals, respectively. Of the shoe wearers, 6.7% have a flat arch while 4.3% of the barefooted subjects are flat-arched. Of the total flat-arched subjects, 8.3% are males and 2.7% are females. Of the urban residents, 17.5% have a flat foot and 8.3% of rural residents were flat arched. Among the shoe wearers, 8.8% use closed-toe shoes, and 4.4% that wear sandals are flat-arched.
Conclusion: The result indicates sex, type of shoes, wearing shoes, and being barefooted affected the development of the foot arch.

Authors: Kulwa Bijengo , Mwila Prospery M. 
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to assess the role of non-monetary incentives in enhancing job performance among secondary school teachers in Kinondoni Municipality,Tanzania. The specific objectives of the study were; to investigate the types of non-financial incentive incentives provided to teachers in secondary schools, and to explore ways to enhance the provision of non-financial incentive in promoting teacher job performance in secondary schools. Human Motivation theory provided a theoretical lens to this study. A mixed method approach and a case study design were employed whereas data collection instruments included interview, documentary review, and questionnaires. The sample for this study was 42 participants -including heads of schools, teachers and Ward Education Officers. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analysed thematically. A synthesis of the findings revealed that secondary school teachers in Kinondoni municipality complained about the availability of non-financial incentives. The discussion is focused on five main non-financial incentives, including professional growth, a positive work environment, respect and recognition, effective communication, and teacher involvement in decision-making. The analysis confirmed that the indicated incentives were not provided to effective sample teachers. Additionally, teachers in this study specified their requirements for non-financial incentives at their workstations. The study covered four main non-incentives: respect, fair treatment, good staff offices and homes, advancement, and teacher participation in decision-making. The study came to the conclusion that teachers' claims about non-financial incentives should be considered; they play a greater role in employee job effectiveness and performance. Thus employers and school administrators were required to see to it that staff housing was built, teachers received timely promotions, and they were included in decision-making.

Aim: This study aimed to quantify and identify the trends in the yield gaps over the 15 years (2006-07 to 2020-21) in the Karimnagar district of Telangana State in India. The DSSAT v4.7.5 CERES-Rice model was used to calculate the potential yields and then yield gaps were calculated. For the yield gaps, linear and compound growth rates were determined.
Results: (Crop Environment Resource Synthesis) CERES-Rice model has simulated the potential yields with the given weather and soil data of Karimnagar district in India. Yield gap I has recorded positive trend, whereas the yield gap II and total yield gaps have recorded negative trend. Linear and Compound growth rates for yield gap I, yield gap II and total yield gaps were calculated in which only yield gap I showed positive growth rates whereas yield gap II and total yield gaps showed negative growth rates. However, at 5% level, the growth rates in yield gap-II are significant.
Conclusion: It has been observed that, in Karimnagar district of Telangana, the production of rice has increased during the period under study, however there are yield gaps in rice. Using the DSSAT (Decision-support system for Agro-technology Transfer) model, potential rice yields in the Karimnagar district were predicted. There was no much variation in the yield gap I and it was noticed negative trends in yield gap II and total yield gaps. These gaps are to be filled to boost the productivity.
Account of the Discoveries at the Knowe of Saverough
Authors: Farrer James 
Published: November 2022

Following James Farrer’s donation of artefacts from the 1862 excavation of the Know of Saverough (see 'Anniversary Meeting', p9), this paper provides extracts from his account of the excavation. Several human skeletons were unearthed during this excavation and craniologist Dr Thurnam suggested that these remains may have belonged to pre-Scandinavian inhabitants of the Orkney islands. The author argues that there may have been two pre-Christian settlements at this site, one much earlier than the other.

The remaining donations from the 12 January 1863 meeting are appended.

Historical Description of the Altar-Piece, painted in the Reign of King James the Third of Scotland, belonging to Her Majesty, in the Palace of Holyrood
Authors: Laing David 
Published: November 2022

Following on from his previous article (see Vol III, pp.8-25), David Laing continues his investigation into the altarpiece showing James III and Margaret of Denmark. He outlines the historical context of the Stuart dynasty and goes on to argue that the altarpiece must have been painted earlier than 1484 given the turmoil of James III’s later reign and the ages of the figures in the painting. Laing then offers a suggestion of who the artist might have been, based on the new dating, the documentary evidence and the art style.
