Full textAbstract:
AbstractSocial philosophers often invoke the concept of false consciousness in their analyses, referring to a set of evidence-resistant, ignorant attitudes held by otherwise sound epistemic agents, systematically occurring in virtue of, and motivating them to perpetuate, structural oppression. But there is a worry that appealing to the notion in questions of responsibility for the harm suffered by members of oppressed groups is victim-blaming. Individuals under false consciousness allegedly systematically fail the relevant rationality and epistemic conditions due to structural distortions of reasoning or knowledge practices, undermining their status as responsible moral agents.But attending to the constitutive mechanisms and heterogeneity of false consciousness enables us to see how having it does not in itself render someone an inappropriate target of blame. I focus here on the 1889 antisuffragist manifesto “An Appeal against Female Suffrage,” arguing that its signatories, despite false consciousness, satisfy both conditions for ordinary blameworthiness. I consider three prominent signatories, observing that the irrationality characterization is unsustainable beyond group-level diagnoses, and that their capacity to respond appropriately to reasons was not compromised. Following recent work on epistemic injustice, I also argue that culpable mechanisms constituted their false consciousness, rendering them blameworthy for the Appeal.

Abstract:
The renewal discourse about Islamic opinion is always interesting to discuss. Many Moslem scholars give critical opinion about the reaction of knowing and understanding about Islam especially about as-sunah as a law Islamic base. The reaction is there are many people receive and there are many people refuse the exsistent of as-sunnah as a law Islamic base. One of person who refuse as-sunnah as a law Islamic base is Mustafa Mahmud. The controversial opinion becomes serious discussion both in seminar and scientific written. According to Mustofa Mahmud, all hadits are doubt not only in the exsistent but also in syafa’at hadits. They are all false although they are written by Al-Bukhari. Syafa’at hadits is often connected with refusal hadits community (refusal as-sunnah) that is placed in Mesir. This research uses analysis descriptive method that contains critical analysis inside to Mustofa Mahmud’s facing in syafa’at hadits. This research produces a critical opinion and measurement to Mustafa Mahmud’s facing about syafaat hadits.

Cases of measles and other highly contagious diseases are rising in the United States. Public health experts blame the rise partly on the spatial concentration of parents declining to vaccinate their children, but researchers have given little attention to theorizing why this clustering occurs in particular communities. We argue that residential and school selection processes create “pockets of homogeneity” attracting parents inclined to opt out of vaccines. Structural features of these enclaves reduce the likelihood of harsh criticism for vaccine refusal and foster a false sense of protection from disease, making the choice to opt out seem both safe and socially acceptable. Examination of quantitative data on personal belief exemptions (PBEs) from school-based vaccination requirements in California schools and districts, as well as findings from parent interviews, provide empirical support for the theory. We discuss substantive implications for lawmakers and public health officials, as well as broader sociological contributions concerning neighborhood effects and residential sorting.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractJulius König is famous for his mistaken attempt to demonstrate that the continuum hypothesis was false. It is also known that the only positive result that could have survived from his proof is the paradox which bears his name. Less famous is his 1914 book Neue Grundlagen der Logik, Arithmetik und Mengenlehre. Still, it contains original contributions to logic, like the concept of metatheory and the solution of paradoxes based on the refusal of the law of bivalence. We are going to discover them by analysing the content of the book.

Abstract. Parents who do not have enough knowledge and scientifically based information about vaccines, their benefits and harms lead to the wrong approach to vaccination, they are beginning to question the usefulness of vaccines and it is necessary and completely refusing to vaccinate children so that there could be possible consequences.
Research aim. To evaluate the reasons for parents refusing to vaccinate their children and possible consequences.
Research methods. The study was performed using a quantitative descriptive research method. The study participants were parents (n = 394) who refused to vaccinate their children with at least one vaccine from the recommended pediatric preventive vaccination calendar.
Results. The results of the study revealed that parents are aware of preventive vaccinations against infectious diseases, but only a third agree that preventive vaccinations are the main way to protect against infectious diseases. Usually, parents do not vaccinate their child for fear of vaccine complications; through an intensive vaccination calendar; due to excessive components in vaccines; because the child's immunity in the event of an infectious disease is better than that acquired after vaccination; vaccinations can cause certain additional diseases and parents believe that vaccines are a way for companies to make money.
Conclusions. False information about the safety of vaccines in the media and on the Internet has a major influence on parents' decision to vaccinate their children. Due to insufficient information available and the wrong attitude about vaccination parents tend not to trust the benefits of vaccination. The main reasons why parents refuse to vaccinate their children are fears about vaccine complications and side effects, an over-intensive vaccination schedule, and the amount and impact of vaccine ingredients.

This study assessed pediatric residents’ reported knowledge of and self-confidence in identifying/treating 8 vaccine-preventable diseases. Pediatric residents nationwide (n = 385) reported (1) if they had previously diagnosed measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, varicella, and/or polio; (2) their comfort level in treating these diseases; (3) the likelihood of identifying symptoms; and (4) 16 disease-related statements as true/false. More than 25% of residents were not comfortable treating 5 of the 8 diseases. More than 25% reported themselves as unlikely/extremely unlikely to identify symptoms of 3 of these diseases. Third- or fourth-year residents did not feel more confident in identifying disease symptoms than first-year residents, except for pertussis ( P ≤ .01). True/false statement accuracy ranged from 56.8% correct (polio) to 94.6% correct (pertussis). Most residents (73.3%) were “extremely concerned” regarding parental vaccine refusal, and 96.0% felt that they would benefit from receiving more information. Increased emphasis on this subject in residency education is essential for the management of potential disease outbreaks.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The German Constitutional Court’s recent challenge to European law supremacy, and European lawyers’ strident critique of it, divert us from the conversation we need to have. The German Federal Constitutional Court wants us to focus on a surplus of European Union power, the European Court of Justice’s refusal to constrain it, the legal strategy of proportionality, and the goal of protecting national democracy. I defend national judicial pushback that is used to protect individual rights, democracy, and the national constitutional order. But demanding a German right to proportionality review of European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy does not further these goals. Judicial review of monetary policy, especially in a context of radical uncertainty, makes little sense. Nor is the German Court’s doctrinal focus helpful as a way to address globalization. We need a new and different conversation focused on when and how constitutional review can effectively and helpfully push back against the adverse impacts that economic globalization is creating.

Justin, a philosopher converted to Christianity, addresses these words to the Roman senate as he protests a recent case of arbitrary arrest and execution of Christians. Although outraged by the verdict, he cannot fault the judge, Urbicus, praetorian prefect of Rome, and personal friend of the imperial family. Justin knows that Urbicus only followed orders in pronouncing the mandatory death sentence against those convicted of atheism as evinced by their refusal to worship the gods or to sacrifice to the divine genius of the emperor. Instead Justin invokes the story of Genesis 6—the story of the fall of the angels—to indict the whole system of imperial power, and to attack the divine pantheon that supports it as a false government, a form of demonic tyranny.

Full textAbstract:
This narrative ethics exploration stems from my happy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) story, though it should not have been, as I annually refuse my family physician’s recommendation to purchase PSA screening. The reason for my refusal is I teach ethics to medical students and of course must walk the talk, and PSA screening is not publicly funded in the province of Ontario, Canada. In addition, I might have taken false comfort in ‘but all you need is a good index finger’ to detect prostate cancer, expounded by a senior physician at a national medical conference in 2010, and applauded by the large audience of physicians. I was compelled to begin this exploration out of survivor guilt, although I will not be a survivor for long, and as a mea culpa to the men similarly situated to me in having late diagnosis of prostate cancer, aggressive tumours and multiple metastases, but who unlike me are dead because they did not experience the physician–educator-based exceptionisms and coincidences that permit me to still be alive. Although my PSA story will always be a happy story, even when my life ends in a few years, the initiation of public funding of PSA screening for all men over 50 would make my PSA story an even happier story.

Each subject was diagnosed as Food Avoidance Emotional Disorder (FAED).ResultsThe described subjects present some of the typical features of eating disorders of adolescence. Moreover, regressive aspects, obligingness, dichotomyc behaviors and thoughts were noticed. The Authors observed that parental expectations and needs were transmitted to their sons.ConclusionsThrough the refusal of food the dochotomyc and fearful thoughts are crystallized. The child cannot comprehend the existence of a false Self built on the Other's expectations. The Authors believe that FAED can be a precursor of Anorexia nervosa in the affected children, who show a less organized cognitive structure due to their young age.

One of the greatest innovations in health care has been the development of vaccines and immunization programs that have significantly minimized the morbidity and mortality resulting from vaccine preventable diseases. While vaccines were traditionally used against infectious diseases, recent advances in technology have led to the development of vaccines for noncommunicable diseases and chronic conditions. Vaccinations are considered the most cost-effective intervention in public health that has the potential to save millions of lives every year. Despite the availability and effectiveness of vaccines for many diseases, immunization programs, and service uptake remain underused in many countries. This is mainly because of the lack of easy access to vaccinations, risk-benefit perceptions, false beliefs, and concerns about the side effects. Vaccine hesitancy—the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate, is listed as one of the top 10 threats to global health.

In the field of industries, businesses, and offices the use of security systems and administrative management through data input using a face recognition system is being developed. Following the era of technological advances, communication and information systems are widely used in various administrative operational activities and company security systems because it is assessed by using a system that is based on facial recognition security levels and more secure data accuracy, the use of such systems is considered to have its characteristics so it is very difficult for other parties to be able to engineer and manipulate data produced as a tool to support the company's decision. Related to this, causing the author is to try to research the detection of facial recognition that is present in the application system through an Android device, then face recognition detection will be connected. and saved to the database that will be used as data about the presence of teaching lecturers. Using the local binary pattern histogram algorithm method to measure the face recognition system that can be applied as a technique in the attendance system of lecturers to be more effective and efficient. Based on testing by analyzing the false rate error rate and the false refusal rate can be seen that the average level of local binary pattern histogram accuracy reaches 95.71% better than through the Eigenface method which is equal to 76.28%.

This study aimed to describe the experience of families in the immunization of children under two years. Descriptive study with qualitative data analysis. Twenty-two subjects participated in unstructured interviews. Results were grouped into three categories: Practical knowledge on children’s immunization; Responsibility and compulsory immunization of children; Increasing the scope of children’s immunization practices. The findings highlight factors that increase vaccination rates: experience and personal fulfillment in maternity, fear of getting ill, recognizing it as good care, access, schedule flexibility, dissemination, immunization record card, immunization campaigns and availability of vaccines, and factors that increase non-vaccination rates: parent’s inexperience, refusal to apply simultaneous immunization, fragmented care, absence of dialog, discrimination, false counter-indications and compulsoriness. Immunization centered on compliance with the calendar or in authoritarian situations is not tied to family care. The bond between health care professionals and families needs to be strengthened to increase the participation in child health protection and promotion measures.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to detect the most significant risk factors leading to disability in children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan (RK) during neonatal screening (NS). Methods and Results: We used data of patients with CH registered within NS in the RK in 1998-2019 by the Center for Screening of Mother and Child. To predict and calculate the most significant risk factors for disability in children with CH, we used the method of normalizing intensive indicators by E. Shigan, based on the Bayes theorem. The study recruited 111 patients with CH aged from 2 months to 20 years. Among the patients, there were 79(71.2%) girls and 32(28.8%) boys. Additionally, 34(30.6%) children with CH had been disabled since childhood. The lack of compensation after the start of treatment had the highest and most significant degree of disability risk (RR=6.39, 95% CI: 7.4-1.2). Among patients diagnosed outside of screening, disability developed 4.1 times more often than with the results of NS (RR=4.0, 95% CI: 1.1-10.6). In CH patients diagnosed outside of screening, “absence of reagents” was a significant factor increasing the risk of disability by 6.1 times (RR=6.1, 95% CI: 1.8-11.2). Such risk factors as “home delivery” and “parental refusal of the primary test” increased the risk of disability by 3.4 times (RR=3.4, 95% CI: 2.5-8.4) and 1.6 times (RR=2.4, 95% CI: 2.93-7.12), respectively. The possible errors or false-negative answers in the “normal” secondary test and the “normal” primary test increased the risk of disability by 3.3 times (RR=4.0, 95% CI: 3.2-10.7) and 2.4 times (RR=2.42, 95% CI: 2.93-7.12), respectively. Factors such as the “late response to retesting” (RR=0.82 95% CI: 0.65-0.54), “late awareness on the part of the medical staff” (RR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.27- 0.08), and "parental refusal of treatment" (RR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.81-0.84) showed less significance in patients' disability. The “starting treatment after 1 month” factor was 4.2 times more likely to result in disability than “starting treatment before 1 month” (RR=4.2, 95% CI: 4.5 -1.1). Cancellation of levothyroxine by parents for children up to 3 years of age and cancellation of treatment by parents after 3 years more likely resulted in disability by 1.4 times (RR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.4 -2.01) and 3.3 times (RR=3.33, 95% CI: 3.3-10.9), respectively. Conclusion: the most significant risk factors for the development of disability in children with CH in the RK were (in descending order): no compensation after starting treatment, no reagents for screening, starting treatment after 1 year, diagnostics outside of screening, cancellation of L-T4 by parents before and after age 3 years, false-negative secondary TSH test, false-negative primary test, parents refusing the primary test, and childbirth at home.

1503 Background: Multiple cancer screening tests have been advocated for the general population. However, providers and patients are not always well-informed of the burdens incurred by screening. We sought to determine the cumulative risk of a FP screen, and resulting diagnostic procedure risk, for an individual in a multiple modality screening program. Methods: Data were analyzed for a 3-year period from the intervention arm of the randomized PLCO Cancer Screening Trial. Eligible individuals were 55 to 74 years of age with no prior history of prostate, lung, colorectal, or ovarian cancer. Additional exclusion criteria were: 1) death before/refusal to take/missing all screens, and 2) less than 3-year follow-up. 68,415 participants were included. The control arm received “usual care.” Women randomized to screening were offered annual CA-125, transvaginal ultrasound, CXR, and baseline plus 3- or 5-year sigmoidoscopy (FSG). Men randomized to screening were offered annual digital rectal exam, PSA, CXR, and baseline plus 3- or 5-year FSG. Fourteen exams were possible for each sex over the study period. We defined a FP as a positive screen with no target cancer diagnosis after at least 3-years follow-up. Advanced adenomas (villous histology, severe cellular dysplasia, or =1cm in diameter) were considered true positives. Results: 42.6% (N=29,152) of participants had at least one FP. Using a geometric distribution model, the cumulative risk of a FP after 1 screen was 5.7% for men, and 2.2% for women. After 14 tests, the risk was 62.2% for men and 50.7% for women. Sensitivity analysis for FP risk after 14 tests by Kaplan-Meier method demonstrated a cumulative FP risk of 61.5% for men and 54.5% for women. The consequent cumulative risk of a diagnostic procedure was about 27% for men and 18% for women after 14 tests. Conclusions: For an individual participating in a multiple modality cancer screening trial, the risk of a FP exceeded 50% by the 14th test. Physicians should educate patients about the risks of FP tests and resulting diagnostic interventions when counseling about cancer screening regimens. [Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: Sedation is becoming more commonplace for pediatric patients undergoing minor procedures. Fortunately, electronic monitors have contributed to a reduction in the associated respiratory adverse events (RAEs). To test the hypothesis that adding the pretracheal stethoscope (PTS) to standard monitoring methods (SMMs) may improve RAE detection in sedated pediatric dental patients, the frequency of RAEs detected by SMMs (i.e. visual observation, capnography, and pulse oximetry) was compared to that detected by SMMs alongside continuous PTS auscultation. Study design: A prospective, randomised, controlled trial was performed with 100 pediatric patient participants of ASA≤2, who were scheduled to receive dental treatment under 0.75 mg/kg and oxygen. Patients were randomised into Groups A (n=50; SMMs) and B (n=50; SMMs+PTS). Inclusion criteria were behavioral management problems and intolerance to dental treatment despite behavioral management techniques or nitrous oxide administration. Exclusion criteria were high-risk conditions for RAEs, altered mental status, gastrointestinal disorders, parental refusal of conscious sedation and failure of previous conscious sedation. An anesthesist was present throughout the dental treatments. Results: RAEs were detected in 10 (20%) and 22(44%) Group A and B patients respectively (p=0.01). The majority of RAEs within Group B were detected by PTS auscultation (n=19). Capnography produced 13 and 15 false-positive results in Groups A and B respectively, whereas the PTS produced 4(8%) false-positive results in Group B (p=0.009).Conclusions: PTS was found to be useful for detecting RAEs during pediatric dental sedation with 0.75mg/kg midazolam and oxygen, in the presence of an anesthesist.

Full textAbstract:
Attendance documentation is a crucial metric for determining a student's dedication, qualification, and status. Several types of systems have been developed for automated attendance. The majority of these implementations were built on a single factor template, representing a line of security error. In recent years, rapid development has taken place in several applications such as authorization, data access, and access control by implementing biometrics and radio frequency identification technologies. This research work focuses on designing a smart protocol for RFID authentication in combination with fingerprint biometric information, which guarantees confidentiality, identity verification, and data protection. Reaction time and event performance evaluation were the tests performed on the system. Ten students with unique fingerprints and RFID cards are assessed for the test. The test results show an average duration of 20.61 respective seconds for each student, and zero percent of false refusal rate was recorded in the implementation. Finally, the result shows the system is reliable and efficient. Each result revealed high-speed performance due to software and hardware coordination. Biometric systems provided data integrity and security, RFID provided limited complexity, and the proposed method's technical programming pattern provided an average run time.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we sought to model and characterize hate speech against immigrants on Twitter in Spain around the appearance of the far-right party Vox. More than 240,000 tweets that included the term ‘Vox’ between November 2018 and April 2019 were automatically collected and analyzed. Only 1% of the sample included hate speech expressions. Within this subsample of 1977 messages, we found offenses (56%), incitements to hate (42%), and violent speech (2%). The most frequent terms used were classified into five categories: Spain, Immigration, Government, Islam, and Insults. The most common features were foul language, false or doubtful information, irony, distasteful expressions, humiliation or contempt, physical or psychological threats, and incitement to violence. Using unsupervised topic modeling, we found that the four underlying topics (control of illegal immigration, economic assistance for immigrants, consequences of illegal immigration, and Spain as an arrival point for African immigrants and Islamist terrorism) were similar to those in the discourse of Vox. We conclude that the hate speech against immigrants produced around Vox, and not necessarily by Vox, followed the general patterns of this type of speech detected in previous works, including Islamophobia, offensive language more often than violent language, and the refusal to offer public assistance to these collectives.

"Successful Renal Transplantation after Presumed Cyanide Toxicity Treated with Hydroxocobalamin and Review of the Literature." Case Reports in Transplantation 2018 (September 9, 2018): 1–6. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2018/3753479.
Full textAbstract:
We report two cases of successful renal transplantation with allografts from donors who suffered anoxic brain injury as the primary cause of death from house fires. Each was treated prophylactically with hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit) for suspected cyanide toxicity. During organ procurement, gross examination was notable for deep discoloration of the parenchymal tissues. Approximately 6 and 18 months after transplantation, both recipients have excellent renal graft function and remain independent from hemodialysis (HD). Hydroxocobalamin is the antidote for suspected acute cyanide toxicity. While largely tolerated by the recipient, there is concern over the potential functional implications of the associated side effects of dramatic tissue discoloration and development of oxalate crystals. Furthermore, difficulties performing hemodialysis in patients treated with hydroxocobalamin have been reported due to discoloration of the effluent fluid impacting the colorimetric sensor, causing false alarms and repetitive interruptions. As such, many transplant centers in the United States (US) continue to reject these organs. We seek to highlight two cases of successful transplantation following donor administration of hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit) and present the first documented case of successful perioperative intermittent hemodialysis following transplantation of an allograft exposed to hydroxocobalamin. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of optimal organ utilization and caution against unnecessary refusal.

Abstract:Introduction:False-positives can occur when a medication has a cross-reactivity with the immunoassay, often due to similarity in structure of the parent medication or one of its metabolites to the tested drug. The occurrence of false-positives is mostly affected by the type of immunoassay used and the particular agent being tested. We present a case of a 13 year old female who was status post overdose with lamotrigine with positive urine toxicology with PCP (Phencyclidine.)Case Report:Ms. A is a 13 year old female, with significant psychiatric history of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She denied any psychoactive substances of abuse including PCP. Her history was collaborated by her mother. History revealed that patient was found unresponsive in bed with a suicide note and bottles at her bedside with 13 of 100mg pills of lamotrigine missing and 13 of 50mg pills sertraline. She was brought to pediatric emergency room by ambulance activated by her mother. On arrival to the hospital, the patient was not verbally responsive; she was responsive only to tactile stimuli. Her vital signs were within normal limits. Her urine toxicology was positive for PCP. Her Basic Metabolic Panel, Liver Function Test, and Complete Blood Count were within normal. She was stabilized after two days and was transferred to child and adolescent psychiatry unit for continued treatment. She was treated with Zoloft 100mg daily, Seroquel 150mg daily, and Valproic Acid of 750mg po total daily dose (blood level 68.1 μg/mL) with good effects on her impulse control and mood lability.Discussion:The literature describes that lamotrigine can cause false positive urine toxicology for PCP. In Our case report, our patient denied any history of substance abuse and it was known that she overdosed on lamotrigine. Although a repeat urine toxicology was not done because of patient refusal to cooperate at that time, the suspicion that the positive urine toxicology for PCP was most likely from medication cross reactivity in a patient who has no clinical history of PCP use.

There are analyzed the incidence of whooping cough for the period of 1993 - 2016 in Republic of Moldova in this article. 210 from 280 cases of pertussis reported in 2016 and. Specific IgM antibodies of 174 patients were investigated. The epidemic process of pertussis is cyclical, with a period of 3 - 4 years, with a higher incidence in urban areas and in children up to two years, with a tendency to increase the proportion among the patients of school-age children and adults. The decrease in vaccination coverage from 95.4% in 2008 to 89.7% in 2015 led to an increased incidence. From total number of cases, 68.1% were children aged from 0 to 6 years old. The age structure of registered cases in 2016 included: 22.4% under one year old; 44.3% between 1 - 2 years, 27.1% school age children between 7 -17 years and 4.8% adults. A later uptake of medical care was registered, with an average of 10.5 days after onset of the disease, but in age group of children under one year it was 9.6 days. The bases of the diagnosis of whooping cough in 10.7% of cases were clinical data, in 16.2% were clinical - epidemiological data and in 73.1% were laboratory data. Specific IgM antibodies were detected in 77.0 ± 6.4% of patients. Among patients under one year old, 14.9% were under the age of vaccination, 34.0% received from 1 to 3 doses of vaccine, 19.1% are not vaccinated by false contraindications and 27.6% due to refusal. Among patients from the age group of 3-6 years, 56.0% received 3 - 4 doses of vaccine, 18.0% were not vaccinated because of false contraindications and 40.0% due to the failure of the vaccination. From children patients who received a full course of vaccination against pertussis, 25.0% had been vaccinated 1 - 2 years ago and other 25.0% became ill after three or four years after immunization.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the nature and role of the icon`s motif in Boris Sporov’s story “Monk-The Savior”. It analyzes artistic parameters allowing to attribute this work to missionary prose (the evolution of a hero, a combination of crisis and choice-situations, the specifics of a false choice), focusing on the complex spiritual path of a person overcoming moral crisis and taking the path of reconciliation with God. The author explores the inner world of story`s main character, Ivan Korovin, displays his gradual refusal to protest against the Divine Providence, which is made possible through the knowledge of basics of icon painting. The study results in revealing that, at the first stage, the image of Christ the Punisher dominates the character’s consciousness, which is reflected in Ivan`s iconographic images of the Savior made without hands. At a later stage, the face of Christ the Punisher acquires a new shade — Christ the Sufferer, which partly draws together the hero, who had undergone moral and physical pain, and his Creator. Salvation through iconography is not a new motif to the Russian literature: B. F. Sporov remains here within the framework of the established tradition. The paper also establishes ideological and artistic parallels between the story “Monk-The Savior” and the works of Russian classical literature (Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky), as well as the cinematography (Andrei Tarkovsky’s film “Andrei Rublev”).

In the last few years there have been a lot of argument and false accusations about vaccination, resulting in decrease the rate of vaccines uptake. Researches has shown that parents vaccines compliance are highly influence by many factors. This study aims to understand the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy and if the parents believe in the existence of the preventable diseases by vaccination? In this context, vaccine hesitancy defined as delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccinations. This was a cross- sectional study conducted across Makkah, Jeddah, and Taif city. An online survey was distributed in period between 1 September – 1 November targeting Saudi parents of all children under the age of 12 randomly. The survey included demographics data, parental knowledge and attitude, vaccine hesitancy prevalence. The sample size was 384. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the association between knowledge and awareness to vaccines uptake. Analysis of the responses demonstrate that 93.6% of the sample study favor of vaccines, 6.1% of the sample study not favor of vaccines because they dont have adequate knowledge on vaccines, 2.5% of them think that vaccines are not important, 3.8% of them think that vaccines can cause harmful effects over its benefits, 1.5% of them have previous bad experience regarding vaccination. We found significant relation between knowledge and attitude score to the education level with level of significance 95% (p-value <0.05).Risingthe society education can help in minimizing the impact of vaccine hesitancy problem.

Abstract Objectives To review current practice in the analysis and reporting of epidemiological research and to identify limitations. Design Examination of articles published in January 2001 that investigated associations between risk factors/exposure variables and disease events/measures in individuals. Setting Eligible English language journals including all major epidemiological journals, all major general medical journals, and the two leading journals in cardiovascular disease and cancer. Main outcome measure Each article was evaluated with a standard proforma. Results We found 73 articles in observational epidemiology; most were either cohort or case-control studies. Most studies looked at cancer and cardiovascular disease, even after we excluded specialty journals. Quantitative exposure variables predominated, which were mostly analysed as ordered categories but with little consistency or explanation regarding choice of categories. Sample selection, participant refusal, and data quality received insufficient attention in many articles. Statistical analyses commonly used odds ratios (38 articles) and hazard/rate ratios (23), with some inconsistent use of terminology. Confidence intervals were reported in most studies (68), though use of P values was less common (38). Few articles explained their choice of confounding variables; many performed subgroup analyses claiming an effect modifier, though interaction tests were rare. Several investigated multiple associations between exposure and outcome, increasing the likelihood of false positive claims. There was evidence of publication bias. Conclusions This survey raises concerns regarding inadequacies in the analysis and reporting of epidemiological publications in mainstream journals.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the violation of the right to public information’s access as a constituent of the constitutional right of a person and citizen to information. It is substantiated on the basis of received empirical data that in practice there are cases, where officials of public authorities, who are the stewards of public information, provide inaccurate / incomplete information, in connection with which there is a need for an adequate response to the offense. Attention is drawn to the fact that the provision of inaccurate information by public information’s stewards is one of the most complex problematic aspects for a number of reasons, in particular because of the complexity of verifying the information provided to the requester; the absence of possibility of proving intentionality in the actions of public information’s stewards; the complexity of the prosecution of authorized officials.
Failure to provide information, unlawful refusal to provide information, untimely or incomplete provision of information, provision of false information is qualified by the current legislation as an administrative offense, which has the effect of bringing to justice.
The legal regulation is revealed and the procedure for bringing officials to administrative liability for violations of the right to public information’s access is studied. The participation of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights in this process is being researched.
It is concluded that, in practice, in regard to normative and legal regulation of the right to public information’s access, the main array of problematic aspects is concentrated mainly not in the legal part, but in the part of strict compliance with the requirements and provisions of the current legislation by the officials, who are the stewards of public information. The procedure for bringing to administrative liability for giving false / incomplete information is institutionally quite simple and effective. However, there is no need to mention that there is an objective need to do a thorough job on changing the approach and, above all, the attitude of public officials to the population; the need to develop and cultivate respect for the individual as the highest social value in the state and maintain a high flawless image, which, among other things, will help to restore public confidence in the state, its agencies and officials.

Full textAbstract:
INTRODUCTION An audit of patients presenting with colorectal cancer to our district general hospital during a 2-year period from November 1994 found that 12.1% of cases were diagnosed later than 6 months after initial presentation to a physician. This audit was repeated for a 2-year period from December 2001, to determine whether the introduction of a specialist coloproctology surgery service had led to a reduction in late diagnosis of colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Case notes were reviewed of all patients presenting with colorectal cancer between December 2001 and November 2003. Late diagnosis was defined as diagnosis of colorectal cancer more than 6 months after their first attendance to either their general practitioner or district general hospital. The results were compared with those of the previous study. RESULTS Of a total of 218 patients presenting with colorectal cancer during the study period, 14 (6.4%; 10 men and 4 women) satisfied the criteria for late diagnosis, with the longest delay being 12.5 months. Reasons for late diagnosis were false-negative reporting of barium studies (n = 3), inaccurate tumour biopsy (n = 2), concurrent pathology causing anaemia (n = 4), inappropriate delay in definitive investigation (n = 3), and refusal of investigation by patients (n = 2). CONCLUSIONS There has been a reduction of nearly 50% (12.1% to 6.4%) in the proportion of patients with a late diagnosis of colorectal cancer compared with our previous audit. It is suggested that an important factor in this improvement in diagnosis has been the introduction of a specialist coloproctology surgery service.

AbstractBackground: IgA deficiency causes false-negative IgA-based celiac serology results in patients with celiac disease. Using a case-finding strategy, we examined the prevalence of IgA deficiency, physician evaluation, and management of IgA deficiency during serological testing for celiac disease.Methods: We reviewed consecutive IgA-endomysial antibody (EMA) and serum IgA results from the laboratory database over 17 months. We cross-referenced seronegative patients with IgA deficiency (IgA <0.06 g/L) to the pathology database to evaluate intestinal biopsy results. Ordering physicians received a questionnaire regarding the management of seronegative patients with IgA deficiency who had no biopsy record.Results: Among the 9533 patients tested for IgA-EMA, 4698 (49%) were tested for IgA deficiency. IgA deficiency occurred in 35 of 4698 (0.75%) patients screened for IgA deficiency. Only 19 of 35 (54%) IgA-deficient patients were diagnosed appropriately with either intestinal biopsy (17 patients) or measurement of IgG-tissue transglutaminase (2 patients). Thirteen (76%) of the 17 IgA-deficient patients who underwent upper endoscopy with or without colonoscopy displayed gastrointestinal pathology on biopsies, including 3 (18%) with celiac disease. No further evaluation to exclude celiac disease was performed for the remaining 16 of 35 (46%) IgA-deficient, EMA-negative patients because of inappropriate management (6 patients), administrative error (7 patients), or patient/physician refusal (3 patients).Conclusions: IgA deficiency occurred in 1:131 patients tested for celiac disease, and celiac disease occurred in 1:6 of those properly evaluated. Inadequate evaluation of IgA deficiency while testing for celiac disease occurred frequently and resulted in the underdiagnosis of both. Changes in testing algorithms and reporting of results were made to improve testing for celiac disease and IgA deficiency.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. To conduct the marketing analysis of the frequency and causes of the irrational use of medicines according to the assessment of the Ukrainian pharmacists, participation of pharmacists in promoting the rational use of drugs, and identifying appropriate measures to improve the situation.
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, a survey of pharmacists from different regions of Ukraine was conducted, 420 questionnaires were selected and processed.
Results. According to pharmacists, such types of the irrational use of drugs as false self-medication, polypharmacy, and the use of expensive drugs in the presence of cheaper alternatives are the most common in Ukraine. The most important reasons for this phenomenon are uncontrolled self-medication, the impact of advertising and the availability of many over-the-counter medicines. The Ukrainian pharmacists take certain measures to influence on the rational use of drugs: refusal to dispense medicines, supplement to the doctor’s prescription, correction of the duration of treatment, and others. When counseling pharmacy visitors the largest number of respondents provide information on the way, frequency and duration of taking a medication, the smallest part – recommendations for a healthy lifestyle or non-pharmacological recommendations for the treatment. The respondents consider compliance with the rules of dispensing prescription medicines, training and advanced training of pharmacists throughout their professional career, and limitation of excessive advertising of medicines as the most appropriate measures to promote the rational use of medicines.
Conclusions. The results of the research reflect the peculiarities of the Ukrainian pharmacy practice regarding the participation of pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines.
Key words: rational use of medicines; pharmaceutical care; pharmaceutical consulting; good pharmacy practice.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Fever and diarrhea are among the common morbidities that do occur during infancy and are sometimes wrongly associated with teething by the community. Some societies practice gum lancing, ordinarily referred to as gum cutting, as a remedy for the “teething diarrhoea”. These myths have a potential of giving false security with the belief that these symptoms are part of the teething process, and so medical attention may not be sought when necessary. There are few studies focusing on the outcome of such practices despite their known potential dangers. Objective: To describe various methods of gum lancing and clinical presentation, management and outcome of gum lancing among the Akamba people as seen in Kangundo District Hospital. Method: One hundred and fifteen infants/children who were brought to the hospital with a positive history of gum lancing. Results: The common presenting complaints were persistent diarrhoea (74.0%), fever (44.3%), difficulty in breathing (27.8%) and refusal to feed (20.9%). 58.3% cases warranted admission and these included severe dehydration and shock (47.8%), severe and very severe pneumonia (40.3%), meningitis (26.9%) and generalized sepsis (17.9%). There were a total of 7 mortalities (6.1%), 3 on arrival and 4 within the pediatric ward. Invasive gum lancing procedures and delayed seeking of medical attention were associated with severe disease and poorer outcomes. Conclusion: The impact of gum lancing is of both a public health and economic significance. It is associated with unfavorable outcome if prompt measures are not put in place. There is need to conduct community sensitization and educate caregivers on the truths of teething and dangers of gum lancing as well as seeking health services for fever and diarrhoea. Use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and adequate rehydration are necessary in management of the victims.

Full textAbstract:
Of the many authorities Thomas McGrath rejected during his life, one of the most significant was the American Revolution, for his work explicitly questions the founders as a source of aesthetic and political creativity. “The National Past has its houses,” he writes in Letter to an Imaginary Friend, “but their fires have long gone out!” From his pronouncing the death of Virginia's deified presidents to his condemnation of the “local colorist” hunting for patriotic “HEADwaters” by which to camp, the poet's renunciation of the “false Past” amounts to a coherent commentary on the relations between American politics and modernist poetry (Letter, 315). E. P. Thompson has remarked in paving homage to his friend that “McGrath is a poet of alienation…. His trajectory has been that of willful defiance … At every point when the applause – anyone's applause, even the applause of the alienated – seemed about to salute him, he has taken a jagged fork to a wilderness of his own making.” Although his language strongly recalls that of Emerson's “Self-Reliance,” Thompson views McGrath as more than a romantic individualist. McGrath's alienation was not simply the estrangement that Marx saw afflicting all of capitalist society, nor was it a momentarily fashionable pose; rather, it was a calculated and thorough opposition to what Thompson calls “official culture” and its destruction of political, historical, and literary values. McGrath's refusal to make a “usable past” out of the American Revolution participates in this general defiance of “official culture,” as his work insistently reminds us that among the regular patrons of Monticello and Mt. Vernon were the many establishment poets well entrenched in bourgeois universities. In defying modernism's efforts to renovate the 18th century, McGrath makes a wilderness of his own, a wilderness which grows in opposition to the wellplowed fields of American empire.

Full textAbstract:
Problematic issues of forensic structural engineering as a source of evidence while criminal proceedings in the aspect of evaluating its results have been analyzed. Taking into account the relevance of this type of forensic examination both for the investigation of criminal proceedings and for other types of court proceedings, main provisions concerning evaluation of a forensic report in the field of forensic structural engineering are considered.
Relevant norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and of some foreign countries have been studied. It is concluded that, in fact, the approaches to the preparation of forensic report content are similar to the corresponding norms of the Ukrainian criminal procedure law. Certain discrepancies relate to the content of the report examination part – in some countries it does not contain a detailed description of the research course. In addition, according to Art. 242 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, a defense can independently engage a forensic expert, therefore, Art. 102 needs improvement. And since the defense party is not endowed with the right to warn a forensic expert about responsibility for a knowingly false report and refusal without valid reasons to fulfill duties assigned to him, then the indicated norm must be supplemented for such cases – in the aspect of the forensic expert awareness on such responsibility.
It is specified that the body (person) that appoints the forensic structural engineering examination does not always ask a forensic expert questions within the framework of the subject of proof. Admissibility of evidence is primarily determined by its receipt based on compliance with law. The grounds are provided that may serve as a reason for accepting the forensic report as inadmissible evidence in the field of forensic structural engineering.

Full textAbstract:
Much has been written about Muslim women, dress, hijabs, veils, and, more recently, burqas. Bullock's book, based on her doctoral work with 16Muslim women in Canada, critically examines the western media's representations and perceptions of the veil. What perhaps marks this book as different from many others focusing on the "ubiquitous veil" is not just that Bullock converted to Islam during the course of her study, but her embed dedness in the material as she describes her conversion and adoption of the hijab. Her personal responses to much western journalistic writing is reflected in her clear fustration at the almost overwhelming refusal of western commentators to acknowledge and respect the concept of choice Muslim women make when regarding dress. As Algerian sociologist Marnia Lazreg noted in 1988, Muslim women are denied the authority to define their own lives by having to satisfy frames of reference dictated and inserted by "Outsiders." This theme surfaces throughout the book, which seeks to challenge "the popular western stereotype that the veil is oppressive" and to stress the multiple meanings and heterogeneity behind Muslim women's choices in covering. Bullock argues that such misconceptions are social constructions that do not necessarily reflect the lives of those under discussion. She carefully avoids generalizing and presenting an overly positive angle on Muslim women's lived experiences. She acknowledges that for some Muslim women, in certain sociopolitical and historical contexts, enforced veiling is a reality. Thus marked by an absence of choice and the denial of basic rights, the veil can symbolize oppression. The Taliban's restrictions on women are presented as a prime example. Bullock differentiates between populist views on Muslim women and clothing practices and those of western or westernized feminists. She argues two main schools of thought. The first comprises feminists who believe and stress that religions like Islam are patriarchal, and therefore are inherently oppressive toward women and deny them opportunities for ''true" liberation. This school of thought, which Bullock calls "liberal feminism," remains suspicious of arguments advanced by Muslim women who speak positively of their faith and their choices to cover, believing them to be inflicted with a form of "false consciousness." ...

Full textAbstract:
Bangladesh govt. launched a nationwide vaccination drive against SARS-CoV-2 infection from early February 2021. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines and examine the factors associated with the acceptance in Bangladesh. In between January 30 to February 6, 2021, we conducted a web-based anonymous cross-sectional survey among the Bangladeshi general population. At the start of the survey, there was a detailed consent section that explained the study’s intent, the types of questions we would ask, the anonymity of the study, and the study’s voluntary nature. The survey only continued when a respondent consented, and the answers were provided by the respondents themselves. The multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the factors that influence the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination. A total of 605 eligible respondents took part in this survey (population size 1630046161 and required sample size 591) with an age range of 18 to 100. A large proportion of the respondents are aged less than 50 (82%) and male (62.15%). The majority of the respondents live in urban areas (60.83%). A total of 61.16% (370/605) of the respondents were willing to accept/take the COVID-19 vaccine. Among the accepted group, only 35.14% showed the willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine immediately, while 64.86% would delay the vaccination until they are confirmed about the vaccine’s efficacy and safety or COVID-19 becomes deadlier in Bangladesh. The regression results showed age, gender, location (urban/rural), level of education, income, perceived risk of being infected with COVID-19 in the future, perceived severity of infection, having previous vaccination experience after age 18, having higher knowledge about COVID-19 and vaccination were significantly associated with the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines. The research reported a high prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine refusal and hesitancy in Bangladesh. To diminish the vaccine hesitancy and increase the uptake, the policymakers need to design a well-researched immunization strategy to remove the vaccination barriers. To improve vaccine acceptance among people, false rumors and misconceptions about the COVID-19 vaccines must be dispelled (especially on the internet) and people must be exposed to the actual scientific facts.

Inertziaren ondorioz, administrazioaren prozeduraren hainbat hainbat alderdirekin ohitu gara, horienganako ia errefusik sentitu gabe, batzuk oinarrizkoak, esaterako larunbatak egun baliogabe izendatzea edota herritarren sarbide elektronikoan administrazio-errekurtsoak ere sartzea, besteak beste. Administrazio modernoek ezin dute pribilejio zaharkituez gozatu, eta jarduna zuzentasunarekin bateratzeko gai izan behar dute, ez indarrarekin edo utzikeriarekin. Horregatik administrazioaren oreka berrezartzeko ekintzen sorta proposatu da —amaitu gabea—. Hala, administrazio-prozedura formula huts bihurtuko da, non ekintza bakoitza aurrekoaren ondorio eta hurrengoaren kausa den, baina pribilejiotan oinarritutako lotura faltsurik gabe. Erreforma hori kosturik gabe egin daiteke, hau da, erreforma horrek ez luke kosturik ekarriko eta ez lituzke aurrekontu publikoak ukituko. Beraz, krisi-garairako erreforma da. Gardentasunean oinarrituta dago, baita pribilejioak kentzean eta administratuak berriz herritar izatera eramango dituen oreka berreskuratzean ere. RESUMEN: Hora es de modificar aspectos de la Ley de Procedimiento que de garantías al administrado se han convertido en privilegios de la Administración, prerrogativas tanto manifiestas como ocultas, que invariablemente se traducen en desprestigio de la acción pública al imponer al ciudadano resignación y rechazo en definitiva. Desde elementales aspectos como declarar inhábiles los sábados, hasta permitir que el acceso electrónico de los ciudadanos incluyan también los recursos administrativos, aparecen, entre muchos otros, como aspectos habituales del iter procedimental al que nos hemos venido acostumbrando sin apenas rechazo por ese mismo motivo de la fuerza de la inercia. Una Administración moderna es la que no tiene que abusar de privilegios obsoletos, y que es capaz de aunar la ejecutividad de sus actos con la razón y no con la pura fuerza o desidia. De ahí que se proponga un catálogo —necesariamente inacabado— de acciones que permitan reequilibrar el campo de juego y convertir el procedimiento administrativo en una genuina fórmula de lograr que cada acto sea causa del siguiente y consecuencia del anterior pero sin introducir falsos engarces basados en privilegios. Y esta reforma puede hacerse a coste cero, esto es, no costaría nada realizar esta reforma y los Presupuestos Públicos quedarían intactos; lo cual significa que es, resueltamente, una reforma para tiempos de crisis, basada en la transparencia, abatimiento de privilegios y logro de un reequilibrio que recupere para el administrado su condición de ciudadano. ABSTRACT: It is time to modify facets of the Act of Procedure to provide the person affected or agrieved by the Administration with guarantees which have become privileges for the Administration, evident or hidden prerrogatives that invariably turn into the discredit of public action by eventually imposing the citizen resignation and refusal. From basic facets as pronouncing Saturdays as non working days to allowing that electronic access to citizens includes administrative appeals are among others common aspects of the procedural iter we have got used to with almost not refusal due to pure idleness. A modern administration does not need to abuse obsolete privileges and it is able to combine the executivity of its acts with reason and not wih the force of habit. That is whay we propose a catalogue —necessarily incomplete— of actions that allow to rebalance the field of play and that let the administrative procedure to become a genuine manner to attain that every act is cause for the next one and consequence of the former but without introducing false links based on privileges. And this reform can be carried out at zero cost, that is, it would not cost to make such reform and Public budgets would remain intact; which means that it is resolutely a reform for these crisis times, based on transparency, reduction of privileges and the attainment of a rebalancing that recovers the citizen condition for the person affected or agrieved by the Administration.

According to the World Health Organization, the major health threats to the planet’s population are air pollution, non-infection diseases, vaccine refusal, antibiotic resistance, etc. Taking into account the whole complexity of the systemic links in the range of these issues, the discussion intensity on health will continue. That’s why, there’s no wonder the safety of human life as a whole and the philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of health are the subject of critical analysis of many modern researchers.The extent, to which a social subject’s health-preserving activity is effective, depends on a number of factors. The end result of health preserving activity is determined not only by the mental and volitional qualities of the person who puts it into practice. It is also a matter of the dialectical interaction of form and content of a personality’s health preserving culture, without which it is impossible to imagine a holistic vision of this problem under the current conditions.Health preserving activity of a social subject under the contemporary consumerism acquires specific features, the form and content of which are predetermined by traditional social practices that are inherent in a society of over-consumption.It is of utmost importance for every educated person to understand the real state of affairs in the interconnections between the elements of such complex mechanisms as a consumer society and health preservation. It means that the power of negative effects on the individual is being significantly increased, because it is not about demonstrating expenses on unnecessary clothes and accessories, which will harm only the consumer’s wallet, but about expending on health-preservation drugs, products and procedures. That is, the vitality of the human biological organism and the duration of their life are crucial.Personal responsibility to care about your own health will always go hand in hand with critical reflection on the information. Both personal responsibility and critical thinking are based on education. The more educated a person is, the greater his or her vitality and readiness to meet the challenges of today are.Thus, as a result of the lack or the absence of competent information on contents, false origin and consequences of the consumption of preparations, foods, goods and procedures, the content of the health-preserving activity is being distorted, and the form, while preserving external segments, becomes illusory in its essence.

Introduction. The paper focuses on the challenging issue of treatment of newborns with gastroschisis (GS) and a high level of intraabdominal hypertension in case of severe viscero-abdominal disproportion. The aim of the paper is to present the current state of the problem at the regional level based on our own clinical experience in observation and treatment of newborns with GS. Material and methods. The study is based on the analysis of examination and treatment of 29 newbornswith GS. The distribution of boys and girls was nearly the same: 16 (55.17%) boys and 13 (44.83%) girls. The number of premature babies was 23 (79.31%). The complex of diagnostic procedures included clinical laboratory examination, radiologic investigation (using contrast agents when required), ultrasound investigation and Doppler sonography, intraabdominal pressure measurement, histologic study of surgical specimens.Results. Prenatal information on the congenital anterior abdominal wall defect was obtained with the help of prenatal ultrasound. In most cases, fetal GS is diagnosed before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Prenatal ultrasound was performed in 13 (44.83%) pregnant women out of the researched group. Two false test results were obtained.Radiologic investigation of a child with GS is necessary to detect intestinal obstruction, necrosis or bowel perforation. Among patients under our study, two cases of ileal atresia were registered. The analysis of intraabdominal pressure indices in patients with GS showed a high level of intraabdominal hypertension in approximately 70% of cases. It proves that patients with GS have a high level of surgical and anesthetic risk. The main therapy measures include the following steps: appropriate preoperative preparation, anesthetic management, and the choice of appropriate perioperative techniques taking into account the level of intraabdominal hypertension and viscero-abdominal disproportion.Depending on the child's condition, type of GS and level of intraabdominal hypertension, there were twosurgical options:1. Primary radical surgery.2. Staged surgical treatment.Analyzing the results of the study, it may be noted that 8 newborns in total died after the surgery, which is 27.59%(it used to be 56-60% till 2005). The main causes of death were respiratory failure, neonatal sepsis and unfavorable premorbid conditions (very low gestational age, severe comorbidity, multiple congenital malformations).Conclusions. 1. Successful treatment of newborns with GS depends on the early diagnosis of the pathology, which must be prenatal, and elimination of contradictions in treatment tactics. 2. Before suturing the abdominal wall defect in newborns with GS, it is necessary to measure intraabdominal pressure, since intraabdominal hypertension leads to a significant deterioration in the mechanical properties of the lungs, hemodynamic abnormalities,oliguria, intestinal ischemia, decrease in organ perfusion, which must be taken into account when carrying out preoperative preparation and aesthetic management. 3. The level of intraabdominal hypertension in patients with GS,which is high in 68.96% of cases, must be an indication for choosing the method of surgical correction of the defect i.e.the refusal of radical plasty of the abdominal wall and the resort to staged intervention or other surgical techniquesthat involve an increase in the abdominal cavity volume. 4. The reduction in mortality in newborns with GS to 27.59%is possible due to the introduction of etiopathogenetic approaches to early diagnosis, preoperative management, anesthetic management and surgical correction of this pathology into the practice of neonatal surgery.

Purpose: To report the formation of false aneurysms at both ends of a stent-graft implanted in the descending thoracic aorta to repair a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Case Report: A 66-year-old woman with a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer was treated with a 34 × 70-mm homemade Gianturco-type stent covered with polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Four months later, she developed false aneurysms at both ends of the stent-graft. The patient refused further endovascular repairs, so the stent-graft was surgically removed and the aorta repaired. Conclusions: This case demonstrates an unusual complication that should be anticipated when a stent-graft is deployed in the acute phase of thoracic aortic ulcer or its variants.

During the time of Imam Hanafi, there was a spreading of false hadiths, so he was very careful about it, so that when there is a case that is not found in the Qur'an or shahih hadith, one of the methods used is istihsān, unlike Imam Syafi 'i which in its time is increasingly widespread of personal groups and groups that refused against sunnah, so people when it prefers to use the mind rather than the nash, the social influence makes Imam Shafi'i harder in terms of purifying the primary teachings of Islam namely the Qur'an and sunnah, thus limiting the use of reason and reason, including the good presumption in deciding a case on the basis of reason and lust. This is the background why Imam Hanafi accepted istihsān and on the contrary Imam Shafi'i refused.

Full textAbstract:
Frequently in the past, attempts have been made to systematize the notion of judicial review of administrative action. Thus, the Donoughmore Commission proposed the judicial, quasi-judicial, purely administrative model of analysis. The Commission was severely criticized, especially after the implementation of certain recommendations of the Franks Report which, in improving the quality of the control exercised on administrative tribunals, underscored the ridiculous character of that existing in other fields. The most violent criticisms came certainly from Griffith and Street, and also from Professor Wade who denounced the progressive atrophy of natural justice, the latter being the main topic of the present article. That concept, distinguished from "procedural ultra vires" in that a judge may look beyond the law for rules he himself has set establishing certain procedural guarantees, goes back a long way in time. Nevertheless, it is not a panacea. Its scope is limited to the study of the means whereby a decision is reached; it does not examine the conclusion, but rather how that conclusion is determinded. The usefulness of the notion was diminished when a condition of its application, the duty to act judicially, was added. Ridge v. Baldwin put the pieces of the puzzle back into place by discarding the decisions which gave the concept a much too restrictive interpretation. These first steps of the fairness concept were rapidly followed in matters concerning the allocation of licences. Judicial intervention here dates back to the last century. Yet, the Nakkuda Ali and Parker decisions restrained the spread of control through an erroneous interpretation of an opinion by Lord Atkin. Both decisions were overturned by the Ridge case. Later on, it seems that Lord Denning took the lead in a movement aimed at extending the scope of the duty to act fairly. That principle received its modem da consecration in the Crockford's decision and was used later in other decisions of a like nature. The late professor de Smith remarked this new tendency to go beyond the words to see, in the matter at issue, what is fair and what is not. Domestic tribunals, not in union matters alone (Breen) but also in sports problems (Machin), have also had this obligation to act fairly imposed on them, even though, strictly speaking, they do not have judicial powers. The question is rather to know whether a legitimate expectation of the person involved in the decision is brought into play, although the extend of the obligation varies depending on the circumstances of the case. It would appear that there is continued refusal to intervene in matters of labour contracts when faced with a purely master and servant relation (Sylva). But now the complete absence of statutory guarantees is required (Malloch). Procedural guarantees have continued to evolve since then. More and more, in different areas, thanks to the initiative of judges like Lord Denning, a system of English administrative law has developed. The principle of the existence of more or less defined minimal procedural guarantees has been established, no matter whether the administrative act implies the exercise of judicial power or not. Yet, British courts still refuse to intervene in legislative functions, including regulations issuing from statutory committees, even should the legislative instrument result from false representations. Control over immigration matters has become increasingly tightened, even though, at one time, there was an apparent desire to sanctify the absolute character of the discretion exercised in that field. The widening ofthat control came about as much from legislative changes as from judicial decisions. Thus it is that in the Re H.K. decision, there was established the duty to act fairly on the part of an immigration officer who might wish to turn a person back at the border whom he considers to be inadmissible. Soon (if it has not already happened) Britons will also benefit from procedural guarantees in matters of land planning. A recent decision made use of the fairness concept in that field. English courts have undertaken to sanctify fundamental procedural guarantees. The name, the scope and the extent of these rules has varied and continues to vary. It would seem, however, that there is a desire to leave the categorization of the act of administration to one side in favour of dealing with the consequences of an act for the individual. If a decision touches an interest, an vested right, or a legitimate expectation, the citizen is entitled to have certain minimal procedural guarantees respected, which may vary according to the circumstances, but which always involve the determination of what is fair in the particular instance. It is a necessary adaptation to the new reality of administration, something we hope to see come about in the very near future in Canada.

The civil liability of the witness in the Jordanian civil law arises when the witness commits an unlawful act, results in harm to others. Such damage would not have occurred without the unlawful act of the witness. The unlawful act of the witness arises when he performs a false statement, fails to appear to give his statement, to appear in the Judicial council refuses to answer the questions asked by the Judicial session, or perform his statement despite the existence of a legal matter that forbid him from giving it .

In this essay I extend Chicana/Latina feminist pedagogies to demonstrate using testimonio pedagogy to teach Chicana lesbian fiction: Gulf Dreams and What Night Brings opened up dialogical spaces for students as pensadores to critically examine the impact of racialized gender and sexual normativity within Chicano culture. Exploring the significance of students as pensadores using testimonio pedagogy cultivates pathways of epistemic disobedience that should be understood as responses to institutional power. I suggest testimonio pedagogy mediates marginalization by breaking down the false dichotomy between students and teachers, cultivates feminist consciousness-raising, and refuses hegemonic conceptualizations of schooling.

Before a more detailed analysis we passionately argue against these theses. In our view the original concept of Information Society is complex and holistic, and was formulated on civilization theory level. The only methodologically acceptable approach is the multi-criteria definition. Since Webster constantly refuses to accept it, and insists on using an information density-based definition instead of it, all his main statements become false.

The article covers the problem of deprecating humor in English anecdotes. It deals with the issue of using invective lexical units in comic discourse. Women swear considerably less than men. Aggressive anecdotes frequently disparage women. Generalizations about women and men inevitably involve false assumptions as they refuse to acknowledge the diverse identities, aspirations and personalities of individual women and men. Women are the brunt of more jokes than men. In English anecdotes men’s voice dominates. Conceptions of male dominance and patriarchy have also affected the lens through which we view the maternal image in language socialization practices.

Full textAbstract:
The Old Testament text of Jeremiah 27-28 presents prophetic conflict between Jeremiah and Hananiah. Jeremiah proclaimed a message of God’s judgment against the rulers and the people of Judah because of their violation of the religious and the legal traditions of the nation but Hananiah opposed him preaching a message of peace and salvation and predicted the deliverance of Israelite nation from the hands of their enemies. Both claimed to have God’s authority. Jeremiah 27-28 provides a window into the problem of discerning a true prophet from a false one. Contemporary Nigerian Christians are also being challenged with such opposing prophecies by prophets who claim that their prophecies come from God. This study adopts exegetical method of interpretation and application of the message of Jeremiah 27-28 to the fact of truity and falsity in prophecy in contemporary Christianity. This study discovered that true prophetic office is a call, and not all comers’ affair. Prophecy lacks empirical proof and is sometimes manipulative and susceptible to barratry. The study further discovered that true prophets prophesy by the spirit of God while false Prophets prophesy from their own mind but also claim to do so by the spirit of God. Just like Prophet Hananiah, there are prophets who could be genuinely called but have refused to stay within their call because of loss of focus and desire for material gains. Thus the prevalent worldview of contemporary Nigerians concerning easy solution to life’s problems that leads to abuse of prophetic consultations needs to be changed.
