Published: April 2022

Objectives:
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is an important factor required to suppress viral activities and its load in the human body. There are identified factors that determine adherence to ART and these factors have been noticed based on environments. This study compared predictors of ART adherence between the urban and rural centers within the same State in Nigeria.

Material and Methods:
The study was a cross-sectional analytic study involving 322 participants. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done with the data collected.

Results:
There were more adherent participants in the urban than the rural center in a ratio of 2.2:1. There was also significant difference in the predictors of adherence to ART in these two centers. The factors that were not present in both centers were: Stigma experience, family support, and sex.

Conclusion:
Predictors of treatment adherence vary between the urban and rural treatment centers even within the same senatorial district of a state. Therefore, it is advisable to always determine factors that predicts adherence to ART which would serve as a guide to proper treatment of the patient.

Published: April 2022

Objectives:
Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) has become the surgery of choice in developing countries and setups with a high cataract load; being non-inferior to phacoemulsification, with minimum dependency on technology, and a shorter learning curve. There exist high variability and multiple differing personal preferences in its instrumentation and techniques. Through our study, we aimed to analyse different MSICS practice patterns across the globe to be able to summarise the commonly performed variations and carve a path for MSICS training programmes and help novice surgeons learn the state-of-the-art methods.

Materials and Methods:
Ours was an online, questionnaire-based cross-sectional observational study. The Google form was floated among ophthalmologists through social media, globally. The preferences for each step of MSICS from the type of anaesthesia used to post-operative advice were asked and responses analysed.

Results:
Out of 278 respondents, 234 (84.17%) ophthalmologists used peribulbar anesthesia; 214 (77.3%) preferred to do capsulorrhexis first followed by corneoscleral tunnel incision; 145 (52.15%) preferred frown incision; and 152 (54.7%) considered astigmatism management important during tunnel-making. The majority (226 [81.3%]) surgeons used anterior chamber maintainer. Viscoexpression, wire-Vectis, and irrigating Vectis were practiced by 122 (43.9%), 96 (34.5%), and 64 (23%), respectively. As for the intraocular lenses, 175 (62.9%) surgeons preferred non-foldable and non-premium while 65 (23.4%) used multifocal. Viscoimplantation was preferred by 256 (92.1%) surgeons. Only 13 (4.7%) surgeons sutured the tunnel at the end while a subconjunctival antibiotic-steroid injection was used by 166 (59.7%) surgeons.

Conclusion:
Studying the variability in MSICS can help to carve future MSICS training programs and help novice surgeons to better perform the surgery.

Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION: Haller’s cells arise with the pneumatization of the lateral crus. Although Haller’s cells are anatomical variations in the development of the nose and paranasal sinuses, they are found responsible for the patient’s symptoms and are thus clinically significant. AIM: The purpose of the present study is to emphasize the appearance of Haller’s cells on panoramic radiographs and their clinical correlation. MATERIALS AND METHOD: OPG scans of 700 subjects of either gender in the age range of 16 to 60 years were evaluated for the presence of Haller’s cells and retrospectively patient’s clinical features were seen. Gender, age, and clinical relevance were observed. A Chi-square test was used to evaluate the prevalence of Haller’s cell in panoramic radiograph (OPG), its occurrence in males and females, and its clinical correlation. The software used for statistical analysis was SPSS version 21.0 and the p-value, of less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Haller’s cells were detected in 95 scans of 700 OPGs, the overall prevalence of Haller’s cells was 13.5 % with an overall p-value less than 0.05 rendering it significant. Of the 95 cases with Haller’s cells, 55 (57.89%) were in males and 40 (42.10%) were found in females. The p-value was 0.32 (> 0.05) rendering it non-significant. CONCLUSION: . More prospective analysis with thorough medical history and examination, with the larger group of the population, might further confirm the appearance of Haller’s cells on panoramic radiographs.

В работе исследуется смешанный режим работы РЛС, включающий циклическую генерацию и прием отраженных импульсных сигналов разной длительности на разной несущей частоте. В таком режиме по техническим причинам происходит потеря информации об отдельных принятых импульсах. Предложен алгоритм интерполяции значений сигнала в потерянных импульсах. Алгоритм включает в себя устранение неоднозначности определения радиальной скорости цели из-за потери информации.
The paper investigates the mixed mode of operation of the radar, including cyclic generation and reception of reflected pulse signals different durations at different carrier frequencies. In this mode for technical reasons, there is a loss of information about the individual received pulses. An algorithm for interpolation of signal values in lost pulses is proposed.

Dinámica y debate político en el Ecuador garciano
Authors: Buriano Castro Ana 
Published: April 2022

Ana Buriano es, sin duda, una de las más grandes ecuatorianistas de lo que va del siglo. Sus trabajos son grandes aportes a la historiografía política latinoamericana y representan una renovación investigativa para el caso ecuatoriano, especialmente sobre el siglo XIX. Sus trabajos permiten la aproximación a nuevos usos de fuentes periodísticas, una interpretación más crítica de los pactos políticos decimonónicos, el análisis de procesos históricos en lógica transnacional y la superación de la anticuada lectura dicotómica que dividía la lucha política en Ecuador entre liberales y conservadores.
Esta ponencia fue presentada en la Embajada de Ecuador en la ciudad de México en 2012 a pedido de funcionarios ecuatorianos y se trata de una panorámica sobre algunas propuestas de Ana sobre el garcianismo. El texto fue escrito después de que se publicaran los libros Navegando en la borrasca: construir la nación de la fe en el mundo de la impiedad, Ecuador 1860-1875 (2008) y El “espíritu nacional” del Ecuador católico (2011). Sin embargo, también se trata de una intervención en la que Ana inserta algunas de las hipótesis e ideas que desarrolló en otras publicaciones posteriores a 2012. Por otro lado, la ponencia también permite una breve aproximación a las circunstancias en las que la autora empezó a investigar al garcianismo como tema y al Ecuador como marco espacial. En otras palabras, la historiadora nos hace partícipes de su experiencia y nos deja atisbar su laboratorio.

Tırnak Altı Lezyonlarında Cerrahi Yaklaşım
Authors: GÖKKAYA Ali , ACUNER Burçin , GÖRGÜ Metin 
Published: April 2022

Amaç: Tırnak bölgesinde birçok farklı doku bir arada olduğundan görülen tümöral lezyonlar oldukça
çeşitlidir. Pigmente veya nonpigmente olabilen benign tümörler genellikle daha sıklıkla gözükür ancak
sadece muayene ile benign-malign tümör ayrımının yapılması zordur. Bunun dışında tümöral olmayan
tırnak hastalıklarının da ayırıcı tanıda yer alması gerektiği unutulmamalıdır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada 2009-2020 tarihleri arasında tırnakta kitle şikayetiyle iki farklı
merkezdeki plastik cerrahi kliniklerine başvuran 12 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların klinik bulguları,
yapılan tedaviler ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Her iki plastik cerrahi kliniğine ortalama yaşları 45,9 (34-58) olan 12 hasta başvurmuştur.
Hastalardan 11’i cerrahi tedavi edilmiş, bir hasta tedavi edilmemiştir. Histopatolojik tanı olarak bir hastada
ganglion kisti, beş hastada glomus tümörü ve beş hastada lineer nevüs tanısı konulmuştur. Opere
edilen 11 hastanın 10’unda hastaların tedavi sonucu çok iyi olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Glomus tümörü
olan bir hastada nüks görülmüş ve hasta tekrar opere edilmiştir ve nüks gözlenmemiştir.
Sonuç: Tırnak yatağındaki lezyonlar sıklıkla hastalar tarafından göz ardı edilmektedir. Hem benign,
hem de malign lezyonlar benzer bulgular verebileceğinden tanı için biyopsi alınması şarttır. Uygun
tedavi biyopsi sonucuna göre belirlenmelidir.

Published: April 2022

Aim: To evaluate the hospitalization process of suspect COVID-19 patients in Samsun Training and
Research Hospital, to evaluate the clinical characteristics of the patients, the treatment process, and
the success of the treatment.
Material and Methods: The data from 284 suspected COVID-19 patients who were admitted to
COVID-19 clinic at Samsun Training and Research Hospital between 18 March 2020 and 29 May 2020
were analyzed.
Results: 284 suspect COVID-19 patients were evaluated. The age range of the patients was 18-95 and
the mean age was 53. Average hospitalization days were 7.14. A definite diagnosis of COVID-19 was
made in 33 patients (11.6%) due to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positivity.
Although the RT-PCR test of 35 patients was negative, these patients were evaluated as COVID-19
with high clinical probability because of the ground glass opacities in harmony with COVID-19 in CT
(Computed Tomography). There were no radiological findings in 10 of our RT-PCR positive patients.
The patients mostly presented with complaints of cough and fever. 68 (23.9%) of 284 patients we
followed were evaluated as COVID-19.
Conclusion: The number of unnecessary hospitalizations was high due to the fact that clinical
complaints were the main criteria for admission to the hospital. Yet, no CT finding was observed in
about 1/3 of the RT-PCR positive patients. Clinical and radiological improvement was achieved in most
of the patients using the treatments in hand.

Published: April 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, mammografi tetkiki ile mikrokalsifikasyon tespit edilen hastalarda kontrastlı
spektral mamografi (KSM) ile meme manyetik rezonans görüntülemenin (MRG) tanısal performansını
karşılaştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kasım 2014 - Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında mammografi ile mikrokalsifikasyon
saptanan, daha sonra hem KSM hem Meme MRG incelemesi yapılan 75 kadın (ort. Yaş, 56,3 yaş ±
10,6) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların çalışmaya dahil edilebilme kriteri olarak, histopatolojik olarak
tanı almış olması ve hem KSM hem Meme MRG tetkikinin yapılmış olması koşulu arandı. KSM ve
Meme MRG için patolojik kontrastlanma varlığı histopatolojik tanı ile birlikte Fisher-Freeman-Halton
Exact testi kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Mikrokalsifikasyon saptanmış 75 hastaya KSM ve Meme MRG incelemeleri yapıldı. Bu hastaların
Meme MRG incelemelerinde 47 olguda patolojik kontrast tutulumu tespit edildi. KSM incelemesi
ile 49 hastada mikrokalsifikasyon bölgesinde kontrast tutulumu mevcut idi. Her iki tetkik ile kontrast
tutulumu görülen 47 hasta ortak idi. Biyopsi sonucu benign gelenlerin kontrast tutulum oranları KSM ve
MRG için aynı idi (%48,9), malign olanların kontrast tutulum oranları KSM için %96 iken MRG için %88,
premalign olanların kontrast tutulumu KSM ve Meme MRG için %60 olarak bulundu. Biyopsi sonuçlarına
göre lezyonların kontrast tutulumları karşılaştırıldığında KSM ve Meme MRG için istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmadı.
Sonuç: KSM, daha az arka plan kontrastlanması göstermekte olup meme kanseri tespitinde Meme
MRG ile benzer duyarlılığa sahiptir. KSM, Meme MRG’ye göre daha kolay erişilebilir bir alternatif olup
işlem süresi anlamlı derecede daha kısadır. Bu nedenlerle meme kanseri tespiti ve evrelemesinde
önemli bir rol üstlenebilecek potansiyele sahiptir.
SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT VERSUS CONVENTIONAL INVESTMENT: A STUDY FROM INDIAN STOCK MARKET DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Yadav Sudhanshu , Jawa Rachna , Zamani Kishwar 
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Purpose: The study seeks to evaluate the sustainable investment performance from the Indian stock market. Then compares it with the performance of conventional investment during five different Covid phases; Pre-Covid-19 Phase, Complete Lockdown, Partial Lockdown, Complete Unlock with Restrictions, and Post Vaccination.
Design/methodology/approach: The study measures the portfolio’s performance through Sharpe Ratio, excess Standard Deviation Adjusted Returns (eSDAR), Fama Decomposition Model, CAPM, and other Regression Models with Dummy variables.
Findings: The study reveals that sustainable portfolios significantly underperform their conventional peers for the whole sample period. However, phase-wise outcomes show that during the ‘pre-Covid-19’ phase, sustainable portfolios are underperforming their conventional counterpart significantly, but this underperformance disappears during the following Covid phases. Finally, underperformance recurs during the ‘post vaccination phase’, but it is not significant.
Practical Implications: Similar performance of sustainable investment during Covid phases and afterward shows the royalty of sustainable investors towards socially sustainable companies. Individual investors, policymakers, and portfolio managers can use the findings of this study to play an active role by making demand for sustainable investment to put pressure on the corporate house to be sustainable.
Limitations: The scope of this study is limited to passive investment, i.e., index listed on Bombay Stock Exchange with the single-factor model. However, future studies may perform a cross-country analysis using the multi-factor model taking active sustainable financial instruments to see the impact of Covid-19 on their performance with a larger span of the study period as Covid-19 is still an ongoing pandemic.
Originality/value: The overall findings suggest that during market shocks, because of stringent actions taken by the government, investors can fulfil their Expressive(values) and Emotional (virtuous feeling) benefits above practical benefits from their investment.

A method is needed in doing a research. This research used qualitative method with some techniques of collecting data such as interview and documentation. The techniques used to analyses the data were editing, organizing, and analyzing. The results of the study show that: first, the case of underage marriage in Jayapura is still relatively low. The data recorded in civil registry confirms that there is no report of underage marriage. Second, Tobati People have a perception that underage marriage is experienced by school students or teenagers. Hence, they are strongly against it since in the teen ages, children should go to school to get proper education and help to support family’s economy. Children or teenagers do not have understanding to build a marriage life and there are influences of traditional factors so that they refuse underage marriage.
