Christian European Travelers' Views on Nawab Bahawal Khan III, the Muslim Ruler of Bahawalpur State
Authors: Muhammad Yaqub Shah  , Dr. Samia Khalid
Published: April 2024

This article delves into the unique perspective of Christian European travelers on Nawab Bahawal Khan III, offering direct insights into their views on the Muslim ruler of Bahawalpur State. Other sources fail to provide a comprehensive portrayal of Nawab Bahawal Khan III's personality. These travelers encountered the nawab at various times and documented their observations about his personality, court, habits, and way of speaking in their travel accounts. Despite the predominant motive of British travelers being missionary work during that era, they surprisingly held favorable opinions about the nawab. While these travelers did forge political connections, their underlying agenda also included the propagation of Christianity. Hence, it is intriguing to note their positive opinions about a Muslim local ruler along with his generosity and delightful hospitality.

Scammer Strategies and Social Actions in Online Filipino Transactions
Authors: Ibañez Kiarah Reyshylle
Published: April 2024

As technology has developed newer and faster forms of communication, the internet has also become a convenient medium for scammers to interact with their targets. Since deception is understudied from a linguistic perspective, this paper investigated the persuasive strategies and linguistic markers of scammers and analyzed the social actions of both scammers and their targets—all of whom are users of the Filipino language. This qualitative study employed digital conversation analysis in analyzing ten conversations between scammers and their targets—all of which were failed scams. The results showed that scammers used emotion, credibility, and logic in persuading their targets. The following linguistic markers were found in their utterances: (1) pronouns that are personal, exclusive, inclusive, noncommittal, impersonal, and ambiguous; (2) negation used for denial, non-existence, refusal, discouragement, inability, loss, contrast, clarification, and correction; (3) emotion words expressing happiness, astonishment or amusement, worry, doubt or fear, shame, regret or inadequacy, and fondness, and lastly, (4) cognitive verbs indicating equivocation, and expression of knowledge or understanding. Furthermore, the social actions of the scammers and the targets were categorized into four sequences that generally involved certain actions: (1) pre-offer (asking about and providing details), (2) insert (expressing doubt and explaining), (3) offer (offering or asking for money/info, and rejecting), and (4) post-offer (insisting, showing aggression, or conceding and retaliating or interrogating). Although all conversations resulted in the targets’ rejection of the scammers’ offer, which undermines social solidarity, dispreference is seen as a beneficial response in conversations involving scams.
Esôfago de Barrett: perspectivas atuais
Authors: Reyes Maikel Antonio Castellón , Silva Carlos Eduardo Correa da
Published: April 2024

O esôfago de Barrett representa uma condição em que ocorre uma alteração no revestimento da mucosa esofágica distal, caracterizada pela substituição do epitélio escamoso pelo epitélio colunar metaplásico. Essa transformação é considerada pré-maligna, sendo fortemente associada ao desenvolvimento do adenocarcinoma esofágico. A atual pesquisa tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão abrangente abordando aspectos como epidemiologia, patogênese, estratégias de triagem e técnicas avançadas de detecção e erradicação do esôfago de Barrett, considerando a importância do diagnostico precoce deste problema no âmbito da saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa onde os artigos foram pesquisados nas bases de dados Web of Science, PubMed e Lilacs. A partir da pesquisa foram elucidados os seguintes resultado: Após exclusão de referências duplicadas, a busca resultou em 278 artigos. 103 foram lidos completos onde 19 estudos foram incluídos no presente estudo. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que o refluxo gastroesofágico é reconhecido como um fator de risco significativo para o esôfago de Barrett, juntamente com outros elementos como idade acima de 50 anos, obesidade central, tabagismo, histórico de estenose péptica e gastrite erosiva. O rastreamento da condição continua sendo seletivo, baseado em fatores de risco, e não é rotineiramente recomendado para a população em geral. O diagnóstico do esôfago de Barrett é estabelecido por meio da combinação de reconhecimento endoscópico, biópsias direcionadas e confirmação histológica da metaplasia colunar. O diagnóstico precoce permite estabelecer condutas terapêuticas eficazes, evitando a progressão da doença e o desenvolvimento de adenocarcinoma de esôfago. A realização de Endoscopia Digestiva Alta em pacientes com fatores de risco representa uma estratégia decisiva no diagnóstico e nas decisões terapêuticas após a identificação do problema.

Authors: Al-Dulaymi Ahad Abd Al-Majeed , Aal Owaif Hasan Abdulhadi
Published: April 2024

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is the second most frequent pathogenic bacterium in the Enterobacteriaceae family, after E. coli. It is also regarded as a major pathogen responsible for healthcare-associated infections around the world. Objective: To look at how overexpressing the elastase gene (lasB) in K. pneumoniae affects biofilm development and antibiotic resistance. Methods: 25 clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae were received from Baghdad's Chemistry Analysis Center (CAC) and re-identified using the Vitek-2 method. The microtiter plate was used to measure biofilm production with ELISA. The disc diffusion method was used in antibiotic sensitivity tests in accordance with the CLSI 2022 criteria. The PlasB plasmid was transformed into K. pneumoniae via electroporation. Results: Out of 25 isolates, 11 (44%), 11 (44%), and 3 (12%) produced strong, moderate, and weak biofilms, respectively. One strong biofilm producer (KA1) was chosen for further investigation. The lasB plasmid was successfully transformed into KA1, yielding the KA1 (plasB) isolate. KA1 (plasB) formed considerably fewer biofilms than KA1, and it was more susceptible to tetracycline, doxycycline, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid than KA1. Furthermore, KA1 (plasB) has shown a significant decrease in ampicillin resistance and an increase in ciprofloxacin sensitivity, but no variations in susceptibility to levofloxacin, cefotaxime, piperacillin-tazobactam, amikacin, or erythromycin when compared to KA1. Conclusions: Overexpression of the elastase gene (plasB) has a major impact on biofilm development and antibiotic resistance in K. pneumoniae.

Authors: Luo Ziwei
Published: April 2024

As the leadership and social structures continued to change over time, how various forms of authority act or react has always been a topic that is widely discussed in academic studies. This paper analyzes in detail the developing positions, importance, and significance of both traditional authority and charismatic authority within contemporary society. In this paper, the historical origins and contemporary manifestations of some particular cases are analyzed theoretically using case studies. A comparative analysis is conducted between the stability and legitimacy of traditional authority and the charm and innovation of charismatic leaders, in order to reveal their efficacy, advantages, and drawbacks in contemporary governance systems and social interaction therein. The findings show the reciprocal interaction between these two types of authority in the formation of leadership and the determination of social organization, specifying that only a balanced approach can help to properly understand and make use of them. This article offers unique insights for a better understanding of why authority structures today remain important and changeable. This can be essential in determining future leadership and governance models.
Volunteer Participation and Loneliness in the Elderly: An Empirical Study Based on CHARLS 2018
Authors: Zhang Yiren , Zhu Hui
Published: April 2024

Based on the empirical research data collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) in 2018, this study examines the specific impacts of two types of volunteering on loneliness among elderly individuals in China. Additionally, it investigates various demographic, socioeconomic, physical health, and family intergenerational support factors that may influence the relationship between these variables. The findings of this investigation demonstrate that both group-driven volunteer service and individual active volunteer service significantly contribute to reducing loneliness among older adults. However, there exist four distinct demographic disparities: variations in age, differences in empty nest situations, disparities based on gender, and discrepancies in economic status. Consequently, to address the issue of elderly loneliness effectively, this study primarily proposes four key approaches: guiding the elderly towards embracing social participation as a concept; emphasizing the development of community social capital; enhancing volunteer service design; and increasing investment in volunteer services for the elderly. These measures aim to foster an inclusive environment that encourages active engagement among older adults while providing them with convenient avenues to participate in volunteer activities. This study empirically investigates the evolution of social engagement among elderly individuals in China, offering novel research perspectives on public involvement in addressing the challenges associated with elderly care services.
Animation-constructed National Images: Cross-cultural Communication among Youth Groups
Authors: Zheng Yuanyue
Published: April 2024

Animation is a form of cultural communication in which a nation displays its own culture and the value system behind it to specific audience groups of other cultures, and the widest audience of this form of cultural communication is the youth group. Therefore, analyzing the essence and path of cross-cultural communication of animation, this paper tries to explore the possibility and importance of shaping the image of the nation with animation as the ontology in cross-cultural communication. This paper firstly analyses that animation, as an art form showing culture and spiritual core, is a cultural system constructed by nationalities as the cultural foundation, and animation, in turn, shows national uniqueness as a means of communication; on this basis, through the analysis of the unconscious cultural projection phenomenon of the youth audience group, this paper elaborates that animation is an important way to build up a country's image at the initial stage. This paper then analyses the key to cross-cultural communication through animation is to find the common accepted universal values in different cultural backgrounds, and to find the universality of spiritual values; on the basis of universality, in the process of animation creation and dissemination, it is necessary to strengthen the establishment of cultural self-awareness and cultural identity of the nation in order to enhance the cohesion of the country's image.

The Statistical Fragility of Tranexamic Acid Use in the Orthopaedic Surgery Literature: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Brown Ashley N. , Yendluri Avanish , Lawrence Kyle W. , Cordero John K. , Moucha Calin S. , Hayden Brett L. , Parisien Robert L.
Published: April 2024

Introduction:

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) represent the highest level of evidence in orthopaedic surgery literature, although the robustness of statistical findings in these trials may be unreliable. We used the fragility index (FI), reverse fragility index (rFI), and fragility quotient (FQ) to evaluate the statistical stability of outcomes reported in RCTs that assess the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) across orthopaedic subspecialties.

Methods:

PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE were queried for RCTs (2010–present) reporting dichotomous outcomes with study groups stratified by TXA administration. The FI and rFI were defined as the number of outcome event reversals needed to alter the significance level of significant and nonsignificant outcomes, respectively. FQ was determined by dividing the FI or rFI by sample size. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on orthopaedic subspecialty.

Results:

Six hundred five RCTs were screened with 108 studies included for analysis comprising 192 total outcomes. The median FI of the 192 outcomes was 4 (IQR 2 to 5) with an associated FQ of 0.03 (IQR 0.019 to 0.050). 45 outcomes were reported as statistically significant with a median FI of 1 (IQR 1 to 5) and associated FQ of 0.02 (IQR 0.011 to 0.034). 147 outcomes were reported as nonsignificant with a median rFI of 4 (IQR 3 to 5) and associated FQ of 0.04 (IQR 0.023 to 0.051). The adult reconstruction, trauma, and spine subspecialties had a median FI of 4. Sports had a median FI of 3. Shoulder and elbow and foot and ankle had median FIs of 6.

Discussion:

Statistical outcomes reported in RCTs on the use of TXA in orthopaedic surgery are fragile. Reversal of a few outcomes is sufficient to alter statistical significance. We recommend reporting FI, rFI, and FQ metrics to aid in interpreting the outcomes reported in comparative trials.
5-Factor Modified Frailty Index as a Predictor of Outcomes After Hemiarthroplasty or Total Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture
Authors: Kim Andrew G. , Grits Daniel , Zhong Jeffrey , Chiu Austin M. , Reading Landon , Zuke William , Kamath Atul F.
Published: April 2024

Introduction:

Although the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) has been shown to be an independent predictor of complications after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), its predictive value has not been evaluated in the setting of hip fracture. We therefore assessed the utility of mFI-5 score as an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent THA or hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture.

Methods:

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement database was queried for all patients with femoral neck fractures treated with THA or hemiarthroplasty between 2006 and 2020. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was done using mFI-5 as a predictor while controlling for baseline demographic and clinical variables.

Results:

In total, 45,185 patients (hemiarthroplasty: 37,645; THA: 7,540) were identified. For hemiarthroplasty patients, the mFI-5 strongly predicted risk of any complication (OR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.2; P < 0.001), bleeding (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.3; P < 0.001), and readmission (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.3; P < 0.001). For THA patients, the mFI-5 was a strong predictor of any complication (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0 to 1.3; P = 0.023), pneumonia (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.0 to 2.0; P = 0.047), and readmission (OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.6; P = 0.004).

Discussion:

The mFI-5 is an independent predictor of morbidity and complications after hemiarthroplasty and THA for femoral neck fracture. Importantly, readmission risk was predicted by the mFI-5. The mFI-5 may present a valuable clinical tool for assessment of high-risk patients who might require additional resources and specialized care after femoral neck fracture.
Rapid Return to Braking After Anterior and Posterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Richards John T. , Slaven Sean E. , Yow Bobby G. , Tracey Robert W. , Mack Andrew W. , Cody John P.
Published: April 2024

Background:

Little is known about the effect of surgical approach on return to braking after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and few studies have investigated braking after THA with modern surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols.

Methods:

In a prospective comparative design, we enrolled 65 patients who received right-sided primary THA at our institution from April 2018 through March 2020, 34 with a direct anterior approach (DAA) and 31 with a posterior approach (PA). Braking tests measuring brake reaction time (BRT) and brake pedal depression (BPD) were administered to patients preoperatively and at 1, 2, and 4 weeks postoperatively using a realistic driving simulator. BRT and BPD were compared between groups and preoperatively versus postoperatively using mixed-effects models.

Results:

Preoperative BRT averaged 638 msec in the DAA group and 604 msec in the PA group (P = 0.31). At 1 week postoperatively, the DAA group had significantly prolonged BRT compared with preoperatively (694 msec, P = 0.02). No significant difference was observed in the PA group (633 msec, P = 0.31). Both groups had returned to baseline by 2 weeks, and both had significantly faster BRT at 4 weeks compared with preoperatively (583 msec for DAA, P = 0.01; 537 msec for PA, P < 0.001). BPD was similar between groups, and there were no significant differences between preoperative and postoperative BPD at any time point.

Conclusions:

With modern surgical techniques, BRT after right-sided THA returns to baseline levels approximately 2 weeks after surgery. There seems to be a quicker return to preoperative BRT observed in patients with a PA.

Authors: Saboor Farheen , Malik Nudra
Published: April 2024

Insomnia is the most commonly occurring disorder of sleep experienced by individuals with chronic kidney disease. It is associated with physical and psychological health issues specifically the ones on hemodialysis. Objective: To find out the frequency of insomnia in individuals undergoing hemodialysis and to examine the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life. Methods: It was a cross sectional study and non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for selecting the sample of patients undergoing hemodialysis from a dialysis center of Lahore. The sample consisted of both men and women (N=100) with age range 40 and above (M=51.40, SD=7.25). Insomnia, general sleep scale and quality of life scale were used to collect data from the participants. Results: Insomnia was found to be prevalent in 6% of the patients. Quality of Life (QOL) was significantly poor in individuals with insomnia and poor sleep quality as compared to the ones with better sleep. Older age, increasing duration of hemodialysis and poor sleep quality were significant predictors of quality of life in our sample.  Conclusions: Insomnia and/or poor-quality sleep have a detrimental effect on patients’ quality of life in kidney disease. These findings can provide basis for awareness campaigns and health promotion programs aimed at timely diagnosis and management of insomnia and improvement in sleep quality as well as quality of life in individuals undergoing hemodialysis

Children’s Privacy Rights, Social Networking, and the Media: Possibilities and Limitations of (Criminal Law) Protection
Authors: Dragičević Prtenjača Marta
Published: April 2024

Living in modern times has various advantages, but the protection of privacy is not one of them. Today, we are surrounded by technologies that make our lives easier in everyday task management and entertainment; however, they also increase the risk of privacy violation, by collecting and potentially sharing our personal data. Parents and family very often post photos, videos, and stories of their children online. This is called ‘sharenting’. By doing so, especially in the absence of consent from the children, they violate children’s privacy. It does not necessarily mean they will be legally responsible for such behavior, though Indeed, their—right to—privacy is protected from violation by other people, media and press. However, if parents violate the privacy of their—underage—children, as with ‘sharenting’, in Croatia, the children do not have the right to protect themselves, unless it constitutes a criminal offense. Whereas they do have the right to privacy and its protection, it is not from their parents. This problem of media violation of privacy rights is juxtaposed with the freedom of expression. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the legislative and practical implications of this issue in everyday life, addressing: 1. the violation of children’s privacy rights by media and press; and 2. the violation of children’s privacy rights by their parents or family through ‘sharenting’ on social networking sites.
