USE OF THE USE OF X-RAY TELEVISION INSTALLATIONS IN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND PRE-TRIAL DETENTION FACILITIES OF THE RUSSIAN PENAL SYSTEM
Authors: Денисенко Олег Игоревич 
Published: December 2022

Цифровизация современного общества требует наиболее частого использования технических средств во всех сферах. Не стало исключением и пенитенциарное ведомство России. Настоящая статья посвящена изучению рентген-телевизионных установок на объектах УМС. В частности, рассмотрены такие комплексы, как CONPASS DV и Homo-Scan. Рентген-телевизионные комплексы, по мнению автора статьи, способствуют предотвращению проноса запрещенных вещей и предметов на территорию исправительных учреждений и следственных изоляторов через сборное отделение при досмотре осужденных, подозреваемых, обвиняемых. Указанные комплексы также во многом облегчают работу сотрудников пенитенциарного ведомства в части в силу автоматизированности процесса досмотра определенных лиц. В настоящей статье автор освещает проблему недостаточности укомплектованности учреждений УИС рентген-телевизионными комплексами и неполной правовой регламентации использования отдельных видов таких комплексов, в силу чего в учреждениях нарушается оперативная обстановка. В заключение автором отмечается значимость рентген-телевизионных комплексов в деятельности УИС, предлагается использование рентген-телевизионных комплексов на КПП по пропуску людей типа CONPASS DV, чтобы предотвратить пронос проноса запрещенных вещей и предметов на режимную территорию объектов.
Digitalization of modern society requires the most frequent use of technical means in all spheres. The penitentiary department of Russia was no exception. This work includes the study of X-ray television installations at the facilities of the penal system. In particular, such complexes as CONPASS DV and Homo-Scan are considered. X-ray television complexes, according to the author of the article, contribute to preventing the passage of prohibited items and objects into the territory of correctional institutions and pre-trial detention facilities through the assembly department during the inspection of convicts, suspects and accused. These complexes also greatly facilitate the work of prison staff in part due to the automation of the screening process of certain persons. In this article, the author highlights the problem of insufficient staffing of institutions of the penitentiary system with X-ray television complexes and incomplete legal regulation of the use of certain types of such complexes, which is why the operational situation in institutions is violated. In conclusion, the author notes that the importance of X-ray television complexes in the activities of the penal enforcement system is quite large, it is proposed to use X-ray television complexes at the checkpoint for the admission of people of the CONPASS DV type in order to prevent the passage of prohibited items and objects into the security territory of the facilities.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: In-person attendance at medical school is a growing concern since the inception of readily available online resources. In Pakistan, a student who fails to keep up with what has been taught in class often finds academic assessments in jeopardy. The present study aimed to assess the role of attendance in academic performance among preclinical male and female students in the subject of Physiology.
METHODOLOGY: Overall attendance in lectures, tutorials, and practical classes was recorded from first and second-year MBBS students’ records during the academic session of 2016-17. Scores in all written, viva voce and formative assessments were used to represent the academic performance. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 23.0. Shapiro-Wilk’s statistics were used to determine distributions. The median interquartile range (IQR) was used for non-normally distributed variables. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: A total of 287 preclinical students were included in the study. Out of them, 110 (38.3%) were male, and 177 (61.7%) were females. Girls had higher overall attendance, 91% (87.2-95) as compared to the boys, 88.9% (85.6-93.2) of both MBBS years (p = 0.015). Girls also had a significantly higher percentage of scores in all formative assessments in tutorials, 65.7% (59.2-73.9) as compared to the boys, 59.6% (53.1-66.4) (p < 0.001). A positive correlation of all academic performance parameters was observed with the overall attendance (p < 0.001). The same correlations were also seen among the groups based on gender as well as the MBBS year.
CONCLUSION: Attendance at medical school, especially in the subject of Physiology, is related to better academic performance. Female students are more regular and have the habit of attending classes which reflects on their better performance in formative assessments. A satisfactory overall attendance observed in our study might be due to the mandatory attendance policy of our medical school.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Self-esteem and optimism are important for students’ success. Our objectives were (a) to determine self-esteem and life-orientation (optimism) levels among Optometry students in the Department of Optometry & Vision Sciences at the University of Lahore (UoL) (b) to investigate associations between sociodemographic factors, self-esteem, and optimism.
METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted during November 2021 to December 2021 at the Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences, UoL. A total of 168 Optometry students were recruited by convenience sampling. Self-esteem was estimated using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire. Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) questionnaire was used to measure optimism. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the UoL. Chi-square was used to determine associations between sociodemographic variables, self-esteem, and optimism.
RESULTS: Mean self-esteem score was 18.48±3.86 (range:8-30). About 20% of students had low self-esteem. The mean life orientation score was 14.15±2.8 (range:5-24). About 43% of students had low optimism. Significant associations were found between self-esteem, reason of admission in the Optometry program with p-value=0.001, family income p=0.037 , choice of the Optometry program p=0.036, and reason of admission in the Optometry program 0.032.
CONCLUSION: Low self-esteem and low optimism have been observed among a significant percentage of Optometry students at the UoL. Reason of admission in the Optometry program and family income were significantly associated factors. Students’ own decision to choose a study program may increase their self-esteem and optimism. Financial assistance for students from the low socioeconomic background may be a positive approach to boost their self-esteem and optimism. Teachers, parents, and counselors should support the students to increase their self-esteem and optimism.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Trans cerebellar diameter stands out as an important fetal parameter for estimating gestational age in second and third trimester when all the other parameters start showing margin of error of 3 to 4weeks. The study was designed with intent to gather more evidence on TCD measurements validity. This will help us in using TCD on routine basis in advance pregnancies. Our objective is to determine the correlation between mean transverse cerebellar diameter and mean gestational age in 20 to 40 weeks of gestation.
METHODOLOGY: This research is being conducted at radiology department of Social Security Hospital Islamabad from 1-02-2022 till 01-06-2022. Non-probability convenient sampling was done and a total of sixty (n=60) healthy women with a singleton pregnancy between 18 to 40 years of age with gestational age of 20 to 40 weeks as confirmed by ultrasound were enrolled in the study. An expert radiologist used Logic P6 ultrasonography machine during the study. TCD, HC, BPD and FL was measured in each patient and correlated with gestational age. Pearson correlation coefficient was computed using SPSS-17.0.
RESULTS: Significant and strong positive correlation (r=0.98) and p<0.001 was found between TCD measured by ultrasonography and gestational age at a 0.05 significance level.
CONCLUSION: Significant and strong positive correlation was found between TCD measured by ultrasonography and gestational age.
Literarische Welterzeugungen. Immersion und Individualität in Christoph Martin Wielands Roman Die Abentheuer des Don Sylvio von Rosalva (1764)
Authors: Immer Nikolas 
Published: December 2022

Dans Don Sylvio von Rosalva , Wieland se réfère au conte de fées dont l’impact fait l’objet d’un débat critique au xviii e siècle. Wieland y apporte sa contribution par sa défense résolue du genre dans la préface de son recueil Dschinnistan . L’article étudie la manière dont la lecture des contes de fées est mise en scène dans le roman comme un processus immersif qui influence la construction de la conscience réflexive de l’individu. Il examine ensuite le mode d’interaction qui s’établit entre la société et le type du Schwärmer que devient le protagoniste.
Ins Kloster oder auf Bildungsreise? Frauen und Männer im Don Sylvio
Authors: Heinz Jutta 
Published: December 2022

Le roman Don Sylvio donne -t-il des femmes une image aussi conventionnelle que le suggère la fin de l’œuvre – les femmes se retirent au couvent, les hommes partent pour le « grand tour » ? L’article étudie la configuration des personnages féminins et la critique de la lecture dans la perspective des gender studies . Il examine ensuite les motifs de l’écriture et des activités professionnelles féminines, évoque les stéréotypes genrés de la « précieuse » et de la « prude » et aborde la question de la sexualité féminine et masculine dans une perspective contrastive. Il propose en conclusion une nouvelle lecture de l’issue du roman.
L’Athéna de Saïs dans l’ In Timaeum de Proclus
Authors: van Riel Gerd , Gysembergh Victor 
Published: December 2022

Dans sa discussion du mythe de l’Atlantide, raconté par un prêtre de Saïs dans le Timée de Platon, Proclus se tourne vers la relation entre la déesse Athéna et la cité de Saïs en Égypte septentrionale. L’une des connexions astrologiques mentionnées par Proclus est qu’Athéna était un des astres arctiques. Dans ce contexte, le texte reçu du Commentaire sur le Timée de Proclus fait référence à certains qui lient Athéna à « la lune qui est là-bas ». Dans cet article nous analysons les diverses explications et émendations du texte. Nous examinons leur valeur par rapport aux spéculations astronomiques des Égyptiens et des Grecs, mettant à profit de récentes découvertes sur la transmission textuelle du commentaire de Proclus. À partir de cet examen, nous proposons de corriger le texte transmis.
Quia ad testem ducit (Sen. rhet., Contr. 7, 2, 12) : Passienus, le color d’Arellius Fuscus et les éditeurs de Sénèque le père
Authors: Guérin Charles 
Published: December 2022

La Controuersia 7, 2 ( Popillius Ciceronis interfector ) de l’anthologie déclamatoire de Sénèque le père mentionne une critique que le déclamateur Passienus adresse à un color d’Arellius Fuscus. Cette critique comprend un passage présent dans tous les manuscrits, mais qui est considéré comme corrompu par les éditions de référence les plus récentes ( quia † ad testem ducit † Win., quia † ad testem † ducit Håk.) : ainsi amputée, la critique de Passienus n’est plus compréhensible. En montrant comment, depuis les éditeurs du xvi e siècle jusqu’à nos jours, ce passage en est venu à être mis en question, puis en mettant en relation le propos de Passienus avec la doctrine rhétorique ancienne et la dynamique des colores présentés dans cette controuersia , cet article entend montrer qu’il n’y a pas lieu d’éliminer ce passage. J’entends ainsi redonner à la critique de Passienus son sens réel, et préciser les aspects de la doctrine du color mis en question dans cette controverse.

Dính rồi ! [Ça mord !] Ancrages sociaux et recompositions territoriales de la pêche de loisirs à Hồ Chí Minh Ville (Việt Nam)
Authors: Peyvel Emmanuelle , Dương Ngọc Thắng , Trần Cẩm Thi 
Published: December 2022

Cet article se propose d’étudier la pêche de loisirs à Hồ Chí Minh Ville, plus grande métropole du Việt Nam. Oisive ou sportive, clairement genrée, nous montrons que cette pratique reste l’apanage des classes populaires et moyennes, et révèle par là-même leurs territorialités dans la ville, entre pêche opportuniste de centre-ville et pêche payante dans des endroits dédiés à la périphérie (câu cá giải trí et khu du lịch sinh thái). Au-delà de la prise elle-même de poissons, ce loisir relève d’un accès négocié à la nature, au calme et à la fraîcheur, de plus en plus concurrentiel du fait de la marchandisation de la pêche, de l’urbanisation et de la régulation croissante des espaces publics, fragilisant les plus précaires.
Café turc ou cappuccino ? Pratiques de loisirs et distinction sociale dans les cafés cairotes
Authors: Bonnefoi Florian 
Published: December 2022

Aller au café est l’une des pratiques masculines de loisir les plus partagées au Caire. Les cafés sont présents dans l’ensemble de l’agglomération, du centre à la périphérie, des quartiers populaires aux nouveaux quartiers chics construits à l’extérieurs de la ville. Si les pratiques sont semblables, les types d’établissements diffèrent, entre le ahwa baladî (café populaire de rue), le coffee-shop et le café. Le choix d’un type de café relève à la fois de stratégies spatiales en lien avec les quartiers et leur réputation, mais aussi de dynamiques de genre et de classe. S’appuyant sur un terrain ethnographique de deux ans, cet article montre comment les cafés, souvent décriés comme lieux d’oisiveté, incarnent la distinction sociale au Caire.
Salivary AsHPX12 influences pre-blood meal associated behavioral properties in Anopheles stephensi
Authors: Kumari Seena , De Das Tanwee , Chauhan Charu , Rani Jyoti , Tevatiya Sanjay , Sharma Punita , Pande Veena , Dixit Rajnikant 
Published: December 2022

Background & objectives:
A successful blood meal acquisition process by an adult female mosquito is accomplished through salivary glands, which releases a cocktail of proteins to counteract the vertebrate host’s immune homeostasis. Here, we characterize a salivary-specific Heme peroxidase family member HPX12, originally identified from Plasmodium vivax infected salivary RNAseq data of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi.

Methods:
To demonstrate we utilized a comprehensive in silico and functional genomics approach.

Results:
Our dsRNA-mediated silencing experiments demonstrate that salivary AsHPX12 may regulate pre-blood meal-associated behavioral properties such as probing time, probing propensity, and host attraction. Altered expression of the salivary secretory and antennal proteins expression may have accounted for salivary homeostasis disruption resulting in the unusual fast release of salivary cocktail proteins and delayed acquisition of blood meal in the AsHPX12 knockdown mosquitoes. We also observed a significant parallel transcriptional modulation in response to blood feeding and P. vivax infection.

Interpretation & conclusion:
With this work, we establish a possible functional correlation of AsHPX12 role in the maintenance of salivary physiological-homeostasis, and Plasmodium sporozoites survival/transmission, though the mechanism is yet to unravel.
Comparative effect of intrathecal meperidine, tramadol, magnesium sulfate, and dexmedetomidine on preventing post-spinal anesthesia shivering and adverse events in hip fracture repair patients
Authors: Kokhaei Mansoreh , Modir Hesameddin , Moshiri Esmail , Azami Mehran 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
To compare effect of intrathecal meperidine, tramadol, magnesium sulfate, and dexmedetomidine on the prevention of postspinal anesthesia shivering and adverse events in hip fracture repair patients.

Methods:
In a randomized, double-blind trial, 132 patients with American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) I and II spinal anesthesia who needed hip fracture surgery were enrolled. Patients were stratified into 4 intervention groups based on a randomized block pattern: meperidine, tramadol, magnesium sulfate, and dexmedetomidine. Hemodynamic parameters including blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, as well as the severity of shivering, core body temperature, Ramsay sedation score, adverse events, meperidine consumption were recorded and compared.

Results:
There was no statistically significant difference in the normal hemodynamic parameters, temperature, duration of surgery, meperidine consumption, and adverse events such as dizziness, hypotension, nausea, and bradycardia among groups (P>0.05). Compared to other groups, severity of shivering was the lower in the dexmedetomidine group 6 and 8 h after surgery. The Ramsay sedation scores were higher in the dexmedetomidine and meperidine groups 4 h after surgery (P=0.020).

Conclusion:
Dexmedetomidine acts better than the other three adjuvants in reducing complications such as shivering. Overall, these four adjuvants are helpful to prevent postoperative shivering and could be put forward as promising local anesthetics in spinal anesthesia, based on anesthesiologists’ discretion and patients’ general conditions.

Clinical registration:
The study was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee at the Valiasr Hospital (Arak, Iran) with the clinical trial code of IRCT20141209020258N153.
Centralization and perceived control of COVID-19 during the pandemic
Authors: Samanci Tekin Çiğdem , İnfal Kesim Selma 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
To uncover the impact of centralization of COVID-19 and perceived control of COVID-19 on society during the pandemic.

Methods:
We recruited a total of 1 041 people in this cross-sectional study. The data were collected using a questionnaire booklet covering demographics, a COVID-19-related information form, the Centrality of Event Scale, and the Perception of Control of COVID-19 Scale. We utilized independent samples t-test, chi-square test, and one-way analysis of variance to analyze the data.

Results:
1041 questionnaires were collected and no questionnaire were excluded from our study. Slightly more than half of the participants (51.2%) stated that social isolation impaired public mental health, while 30.1% reported adverse impacts of the pandemic on their sleep quality. Participants with changes to their sleep patterns were found to centralize COVID-19 more. Moreover, measures against COVID-19 and constant announcements of the daily number of cases in the media brought both positive and negative effects on people and further contributed to the participants’ centralization of COVID-19. Individuals with low centralization scores were concluded to perceive COVID-19 as a minor disease. Healthcare professionals without a relative diagnosed with COVID-19 and those satisfied with treatment opportunities had a higher perceived control of COVID-19, while those who were not interested in statistical data on COVID-19 and who had difficulty complying with the rules had a lower perceived control of COVID-19. Besides, poorer perceived control of COVID-19 was found to adversely affect sleep quality. Furthermore, healthcare professionals scored higher on the inevitability subscale of the Perception of Control of COVID-19 Scale. Finally, among the participants, most COVID-19 survivors thought COVID-19 to be an avoidable disease.

Conclusion:
In addition to its physical impacts, COVID-19 adversely impacts on mental health, and these effects are closely linked to a society’s centralization of COVID-19 and perceived control of COVID-19.
Clinical and laboratory features of COVID-19 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 versus those infected with other SARS-CoV-2 strains
Authors: Ergenc Zeynep , Ergenc Hasan , Öztürk Ahmet , Kaya Gülsüm , Karaca Ocak Özlem , İnce Özgür 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
To investigate the clinical symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with and without B.1.1.7 mutation.

Methods:
This retrospective observational study included COVID-19 patients who were divided into two groups, the mutation and the non-mutation group. Demographics characteristics, clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and mortality rates were recorded and compared between the two groups.

Results:
A total of 196 patients were included in the study. The relationship between the mutant virus status and sex, age, comorbidity, survival status, and disease severity was not significant (P>0.05). No significant differences were found in duration of hospitalization between the mutation and the non-mutation group (P>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference between patients with and without mutant viruses in hemoglobin, mean platelet volume, procalcitonin, low density lipoprotein, ironbinding capacity, potassium, calcium, C-reactive protein, folate, creatine kinase myocardial band, D-dimer, and international normalized ratio (P<0.05).

Conclusions:
No significant difference is found in mortality rate, disease severity or duration of hospitalization between the patients with and without variant B.1.1.7. Careful monitoring of COVID-19 patients is required for all variants.
Near-fatal ferrous sulfate poisoning
Authors: Shaikh Wasim S , Shaikh Ayesha , Sasane Sachin , Al Rais Zeyad , Baqer Mohammed Ali 
Published: December 2022

Rationale:
Acute iron poisoning is commonly seen in a pediatric population caused by accidental ingestion of iron syrups. We describe a case of iron poisoning who presented to the hospital following intentional near-fatal ingestion of ferrous sulfate.

Patient’s Concern:
A 14-years-old previously healthy female patient presented to the emergency department with a history of an intentional overdose of 80 ferrous sulfate tablets.

Diagnosis:
Ferrous sulfate poisoning.

Interventions:
The patient developed acute fulminant liver failure 24 h after of the overdose. She was managed conservatively, mainly with deferoxamine and N-acetylcysteine while awaiting transfer to a liver transplant facility.

Outcomes:
The patient responded well to medical therapy and was discharged on the 9th day of intensive care unit admission.

Lessons:
This case highlights the patient’s successful recovery with prompt conservative therapy. Severe iron toxicity can be treated with early use of deferoxamine and N-acetylcysteine where a liver transplant facility is not available.
