Objectives:
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is more common in the Indian subcontinent compared to the Western world and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hence, all possible modifiable factors should be searched and steps taken so that a single opportunity is not missed in preventing such a catastrophe. The aim of the study is to find out whether homocysteine and Vitamin B12 are related to ICH.

Materials and Methods:
We included acute ICH patients of 18 years and above who came to our institute and got admitted in 5 months (September 2021–January 2022). Our team noted the demographics, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (at admission and discharge) and other clinical parameters. Volume and site of the intracerebral hematoma (from the initial computed tomography [CT] scan of the brain) were noted. The outcome and prognostic markers like Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge, MRS at 3 months (also MRS at admission) and ICH score were calculated. The blood parameters, including serum homocysteine and Vitamin B12 level, were noted post admission in hospital.

Results:
We found out of 44 ICH patients; ten patients had hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy): 22.72%. We detected significant correlation between HHCy with ICH score (inverse relationship) and dyslipidemia (direct relationship).

Conclusion:
We found an inverse correlation between serum homocysteine level and ICH score, which shows a short-term (1 month) prognosis. This might hint that homocysteine might have a protective role to play in ICH. However, we probably need larger study population to find a correlation strong enough so that we can make a stronger conclusion.

Published: May 2022

Objective:
Aluminum phosphide (ALP) (rice-tablet) is a common cause of adult poisoning in Iran, including Isfahan. So far, no effective treatment has been identified for this poisoning. We aimed to investigate the outcome of ALP poisoned patients admitted to the clinical toxicology ward of Khorshid Hospital in Isfahan from 2017 to 2019.

Methods:
This chart-review study was performed on the population of ALP poisoned patients admitted to the clinical toxicology ward of Khorshid University Hospital from 2017 to 2019 treated with the hospital’s new treatment protocol, using the complete enumeration approach. The outcomes were determined by reviewing and abstracting medical charts of ALP poisoned patients from the hospital archive.

Findings:
The most common complaints at admission were depressed consciousness (41.9%) and vomiting (32.2%). There was no significant change in blood sugar, pH, base excess (BE), and venous blood bicarbonate throughout their hospitalization (P > 0.05). Treatment outcomes had a significant relationship with blood pH 2 h and 6 h after admission and the BE 6 h after admission (P < 0.05). There was also a significant relationship between the outcome and the length of stay, initial ejection fraction (EF), and EF in predischarge echocardiography (P < 0.05). Out of 31 patients, 24 (77.4%) died within 72 h, 5 (16.1%) recovered without any complication, and 2 (6.5%) recovered with some complications.

Conclusion:
The mortality rate of ALP poisoned patients was reasonably high and can be attributed to the poor efficacy of the new treatment protocol or the long time it takes for patients to reach the hospital and start receiving treatments.

Published: May 2022

Objective:
The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), as an antioxidant, in preventing nephrotoxicity in patients receiving colistin.

Methods:
In a randomized controlled clinical trial, eligible participants receiving colistin were divided into two groups including drug (n = 43) and control (n = 39). In the drug group, 1200 mg of NAC was administered daily for 10 days concurrently with colistin. Patients in the control group received only colistin. The serum creatinine level (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine clearance (CrCl) at baseline and every other day, and the number of cases with acute kidney injury (AKI) during the study were recorded. Before starting treatment and on day 5, the level of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was determined. Finally, the values were compared between the groups.

Findings:
There was a significant increase in SCr and BUN and a significant reduction in CrCl in both groups, but there was not any significant difference between the two groups at any time. Changes in the urine NGAL levels were not significantly different between the two groups. Even though the number of cases with AKI in the drug group (8 cases, 18.6%) was less than the control group (11 cases, 28.2%), the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.303).

Conclusion:
Simultaneous administration of NAC with a dose of 1200 mg daily does not have any effect in the prevention of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Tropical moments of tropical Jacobians
Authors: de Jong Robin , Shokrieh Farbod 
Published: May 2022

AbstractEach metric graph has canonically associated to it a polarized real torus called its tropical Jacobian. A fundamental real-valued invariant associated to each polarized real torus is its tropical moment. We give an explicit and efficiently computable formula for the tropical moment of a tropical Jacobian in terms of potential theory on the underlying metric graph. We show that there exists a universal linear relation between the tropical moment, a certain capacity called the tau invariant, and the total length of a metric graph. To put our formula in a broader context, we relate our work to the computation of heights attached to principally polarized abelian varieties.
Operator noncommutative functions
Authors: Augat Meric , McCarthy John E. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractWe establish a theory of noncommutative (NC) functions on a class of von Neumann algebras with a particular direct sum property, e.g.,
$B({\mathcal H})$
. In contrast to the theory’s origins, we do not rely on appealing to results from the matricial case. We prove that the
$k{\mathrm {th}}$
directional derivative of any NC function at a scalar point is a k-linear homogeneous polynomial in its directions. Consequences include the fact that NC functions defined on domains containing scalar points can be uniformly approximated by free polynomials as well as realization formulas for NC functions bounded on particular sets, e.g., the NC polydisk and NC row ball.

The study aimed to perceive the preferred assessment tools utilized by special education teachers with the new learning modalities in correspondence to the pandemic started to burgeon. It employed Braun and Clarke's Thematic Analysis which the researchers used to evaluate and analyze the qualitative data in the study. Moreover, the study focused on the alternative assessment, which branches out into two types: Performance-based and authentic. The investigation of the study entails thematic analysis, which divulges three themes: "Current Assessment used in the new learning modality," "Challenges encountered by the special education teachers," and "Assessment recommendation." The inferred extracted narrative of the five special education teachers as participants counted as a conception of experiences. (1) Special education teachers' preferred assessment caters to specific needs of the students through performance-based and authentic assessments (2) Special Education teachers' preferred assessment anchors specific modification in assessment tools through alternative assessments (3) Special Education teachers' preferred assessment encompasses available learning resources both for students and teachers. Based on the three conceptions, the following preference surfaced as promulgated: Special Educators' discretion in assessing students with special needs in an online and offline learning mode.

PurposeThere are currently only scarce data available describing imaging manifestations in children with COVID-19. The aim of this study was to analyse pulmonary lesions on chest radiography (CXR) in paediatric patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and to compare the CXR results with clinical and laboratory data.Material and methodsIn this prospective single-centre study we included 118 consecutive paediatric patients with COVID-19. CXR was performed in 107 patients. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed on the same day as CXR, immediately (0 to 2 days) after the COVID-19 diagnosis had been established.ResultsPulmonary lesions were found in 24/107 (23%) children, including 14/24 (58%) with bilateral abnormalities. Compared to patients with normal CXR, children presenting with pulmonary lesions were significantly younger (7.0 ± 4.5 vs. 9.5 ± 4.5 years, p = 0.03) and more commonly presented with an elevated D-dimer level (6/24, 25% vs. 5/81, 7%; p = 0.008). Almost half (46%) of the children with pulmonary lesions were asymptomatic, and 11/60 (18%) of all asymptomatic patients presented with abnormal CXR.ConclusionsPulmonary lesions in the course of COVID-19 are more common in younger children and those presenting with an elevated D-dimer level. A significant proportion of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients develop CXR abnormalities.
MAIS ALÉM DAS DIFERENÇAS ÉTNICAS: PARTICULARIDADES NA LUTA POR DIREITOS DASCOMUNIDADES QUILOMBOLAS E RIBEIRINHAS NO CONTEXTO REGIONAL DO BAIXOAMAZONAS, SANTARÉM, PARÁ
Authors: Del Arco Diego Pérez Ojeda 
Published: May 2022

Este artigo parte da análise das comunidades quilombolas e ribeirinhas do Baixo Amazonas santareno, Pará, sendo destacadas, em primeiro lugar, as particularidades das identidades étnicas acionadas pelas comunidades quilombolas da região. Por sua vez, serão assinaladas também, com base no material etnográfico trabalhado, as semelhanças existentes entre as comunidades auto-reconhecidas como quilombolas e as outras comunidades ribeirinhas vizinhas, se colocando em evidencia a ausência de diferenças culturais significativas entre as mesmas. Dessa se proporá a utilização do conceito de campesinato como categoria analítica para que este possa auxiliar às categorias étnicas atualmente utilizadas, se não que se questionara o fato de porquê as “populações tradicionais” etnicamente diferenciadas parecem ter os seus direitos mais resguardados do que aquelas populações tradicionais que não acionam nenhuma categoria étnica.

Authors: Ponzo Jacqueline 
Published: May 2022

El origen de este texto parte del “Encuentro de Reflexión y Diálogo: Territorios rurales en América: Realidades y Perspectivas”, convocado desde Quito por el Instituto Panamericano de Geografía Humana (IPGH) y la Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar (UASB) en setiembre de 2021. El encuentro fue oportunidad para analizar las “imbricaciones del poder político, económico, social en la configuración de los territorios rurales en distintos países de América”. La tesis en desarrollo, “Análisis histórico-territorial de la producción de salud, sus rupturas y cuidado, en Migues, Noreste de Canelones, Uruguay, 1980-2019” confluye a este objetivo.Esta ruralidad presenta características propias muy marcadas derivadas de la influencia pautada por la migración europea a lo largo del siglo XIX, la explotación de la tierra en predios de escasa extensión y la geopolítica local y regional. Este territorio fue impactado fuertemente por la agroindustria azucarera en base a remolacha asentada allí durante cuatro décadas. Este trabajo introduce un análisis de la diversidad de ruralidades desde una perspectiva histórica y contribuye a evidenciar cómo los procesos extractivistas identificados en la región protagonizan de modo relevante la dialéctica producción de territorio, genera diversas ruralidades que, no obstante encuentran una esencia común vinculada al valor de uso.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to summarize the experience of China’s rural human resource management through the introduction of the training process of new professional farmers in China, and to provide some experience and reference for developing countries to carry out farmer training and optimize the structure of human resources.
Results. The study results show that new professional farmer training is an essential experience in China’s rural human resource management. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the whole process of training new professional farmers. In the process of cultivating new-type professional farmers, China has carried out the cultivation work from four aspects, namely, determining the best cultivation target, selecting the appropriate investment entity, constructing a reasonable cultivation model and formulating preferential support policies. It has achieved remarkable results in improving the quality of rural human resources and optimizing the structure of rural human resources.
Scientific novelty. There is a lot of literature describing the experience of human resource management in rural China. Still, few scholars pay attention to the training process and model of new professional farmers, so the innovation of this study is the novelty of the selected topic.
Practical value. This research is of great significance for improving the skill level of rural human resources, increasing farmers’ income, consolidating the basic status of agriculture, and promoting rural economic development. In addition, it also has certain literature value for enriching the theory of rural human capital investment.
‘A Woman Was Beating a Man Taking Him by the Forelock’: How a Sacred Thing Became a Comical in Ukraine
Authors: Brovarets Tetiana 
Published: May 2022

The paper deals with one famous plot on Ukrainian rushnyks. This is about a scene of beating a man by his wife and the appropriate inscription to it “A woman was beating a man taking him by the forelock”. Notwithstanding the fact that nowadays it is mostly perceived as a humorous scene, the meaning of it may vary up to the sacred one. Is it connected with the fact that Ukrainian rushnyks had been regarded as things of particular significance? The author traces the roots of this embroidered plot in popular culture, showing changing of senses according to the context.
Oral culture (folk humorous and dancing songs, narratives, sayings), lubok literature and fictions, Ethnographical features of Ukrainian married men and women are taken into consideration. Also, the issue of renewing the old jokes is considered. When the comic scene became irrelevant or not enough humorous, embroideresses combined it with other scenes to make it more ridiculous. The author concludes that absolutely all folk meanings of one and the same plot have right to exist.

Women empowerment is crucial for a society to have a knowledge-based society wherein the personal growth of women will decisively contribute to individual families, thereby contributing to the society and the country as a whole. Social Marketing is a rising trend and a powerful channel for discussing women's empowerment. This study attempts to examine the impact of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) on women's empowerment in Pakistan. BISP is one of the rigorous social welfare programs initiated by the government of Pakistan. The program was initiated to empower economically deprived women. It provides social security, improves living standards, and reduces poverty. To gather the data, a sample of 300 respondents was utilized from Khairpur, Pakistan. The study carried out quantitative techniques to measure the impact of BISP on women's empowerment, thus, for this, regression analysis was conducted, and the association between the variables was explained through Pearson correlation. Furthermore, the questionnaire was designed and distributed among BISP beneficiaries to understand its effect. Hypotheses were tested and validated through statistical analysis. The findings of the study recommend that there is a positive and significant impact of BISP on women's empowerment and it has a strong correlation with women's empowerment. In this study, the prediction of living standards through this program contributed 35%, poverty alleviation strategy 29% and social security contributed 24%. In this regard, it is ensured that the government of Pakistan may take more similarly effective initiatives to empower not only women but without gender discrimination to empower communities at large.
