Authors: Jibril Yasir Nuhu , Salisu Abubakar Danjuma , Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa , Oluwafemi Olatunde Olaniyi Abiodun
Published: August 2022

Low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (NPAC) is a rare nasopharyngeal malignancy that runs an indolent course. It presents with a variety of symptoms including but not limited to nasal obstruction, runny nose, postnasal drip, and nasal bleeding. The main stay of treatment is surgery, but other adjuvant treatments including radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy have been used with varying degrees of successes. Due to its low grade nature and absence of distant metastases, its prognosis is excellent. Here, we report the case of a 22-year-old young woman with low-grade NPAC who was treated in our hospital by simple surgical excision.

Aim of the Study:

The aim of this study was to investigate lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LEPAD) in the foot arteries of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with and without clinical symptoms of arterial insufficiency, using triplex Doppler ultrasound.

Materials and Methods:

Forty-seven consecutive adult subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 47 age-matched and sex-matched non-diabetic controls were recruited (94 limbs each). Ankle-brachial index (ABI), fasting blood glucose assay, glycated haemoglobin assay and triplex sonography of the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) and the distal posterior tibial artery (PTA) in both feet were performed.

Results:

The mean age of the subjects and controls were 60.21 ± 7.68 years and 56.81 ± 9.05 years (P > 0.05). The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 10.4 ± 5.8 years. Crampy calf pain was the most common presenting symptom. Twenty-one (22.3%) of the 94 limbs of T2DM subjects had an abnormal ABI. Abnormal triplex Doppler waveform was seen in more than half of the PTA (57/94; 60.6%) and DPA (55/94; 58.5%). Forty-one (43.6%) of the 94 diabetic limbs had plaques in the PTA, while plaques were present in the DPA of 52 (55.3%) diabetic limbs.

Conclusion:

LEPAD is common in T2DM with a higher prevalence on triplex Doppler sonography compared to ABI values.

Authors: Abdulsalam Halima Olufunmilola , Muhammad Nasiru , Pam Victoria , Oladigbolu Kehinde Kabir
Published: August 2022

Aim:

The aim of the study was to assess the pattern of ametropia, presbyopia, and the barriers to the uptake of spectacles among adult patients attending Hajiya Gambo Sawaba General Hospital (HGSGH), Zaria, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

This study was a descriptive hospital-based study. The study population was selected by systematic sampling over a 3-month period (July–September, 2016). A questionnaire was administered for sociodemographic data, patients’ history, and refraction. Patients with visual acuity less than 6/12 or who required at least +1.00DS to read N8 were given spectacle prescriptions and assessed after 2 months to confirm if they purchased the spectacles.

Results:

Two hundred and nine patients were assessed: 124 (59.3%) females and 85 (40.7%) males. The age ranged from 18 to 75 years with a mean of 45.5. One hundred and seventy-five (83.7%) had ametropia, 100 (47.8%) had presbyopia, and patients having both were 66 (31.6%). Astigmatism was the most common ametropia, 118 (67.4%), followed by hypermetropic astigmatism 33 (18.9%) and myopia 24 (13.7%). Only 97 (46.6%) patients purchased their spectacles, and 92 of them were using their spectacles. One hundred and twelve (52.2%) patients did not buy their spectacles, with cost being most common barrier to the uptake of spectacles.

Conclusion:

There is a high burden of ametropia and presbyopia among patients attending HGSGH, Zaria. Cost of spectacles and ‘no felt need’ were found to affect spectacle uptake. Health information and availability of low-cost spectacles are important strategies in reducing the burden of uncorrected ametropia and presbyopia in Kaduna State.

Prevalence of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
Authors: Bucu Mikaela Erlinda M. , Domingo Efren J.
Published: August 2022

Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a precancerous lesion involving the squamous epithelium of the vulva. This retrospective descriptive study aims to determine the prevalence of VIN in a tertiary government hospital in a developing country. Medical records of outpatient consultations with the diagnosis of VIN from January 2000 to June 2012 were reviewed. The prevalence of VIN was 1.6/100,000 women over the 12 years. The diagnosis was based on biopsy results of an incidental finding of vulvar lesions on physical examination. The profile of a patient with VIN was a woman aged 40 years old and above, married, multigravid, nonsmoker, high school graduate, and unemployed. Vulvar lesions noted were multiple hyperpigmented papules located at the posterior labia majora. VIN was associated with abnormal colposcopy findings, and 40% were associated with concomitant cervical disease. Treatment was wide local excision. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of VIN aim to prevent its progression to vulvar carcinoma. Although vulvar carcinoma is a rare condition, there has been a notable rise in prevalence in recent years. Hence, gynecologists should be vigilant and have a high index of suspicion to detect the disease early in its course.
Profile of women admitted with a history of induced abortion at a tertiary government hospital from 2013 to 2017
Authors: Vista Genevieve A. , Madamba Helen V.
Published: August 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Unsafe abortion is one of the major medical and public health problems in developing countries. However, there is a lack of up-to-date and reliable information on induced abortion distribution and its determinant factors in the country.

OBJECTIVES: This study determined the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women admitted for abortion at a tertiary government hospital in Cebu city from 2013-2017.

METHODS:

This study reviewed the charts in medical records of women diagnosed with abortion admitted at a government tertiary hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 with key words “abortion” in the final diagnosis.

RESULTS:

The results of this study showed that 86% of patients who had induced abortion discharged improved from this institution, 2 patients died due to medical complications and 12% were discharged against medical advice. Majority of abortions were within early ages of gestation. Primigravidas and primiparas had the highest incidence of induced abortion 20.44% and 27.73%respectively. Of the treatments employed, the major method of abortion employed was mechanical. Majority of induced abortions did not develop septic complications.

CONCLUSION:

The trend in admission of induced abortions from 2013 to 2017 showed a downward trend. This decrease in incidence may be attributed to improved access to family planning methods since the Reproductive Health Law was implemented in 2014 and the introduction of the Maternal Perinatal Statistics quarterly conferences headed by Department of Health (DOH) Region 7 and the different DOH-retained hospitals as well as BEMONC/SEMONC facilities in Cebu Province. 17. These statistical events focuses the spotlight on the importance of health education and further improvement in the provision of health care in the local setting. Moreover, further improvement in post abortive care and adequate coverage should be provided to patients with abortion to reduce the incidence of complications and potential mortality.
On the Rayleigh–Taylor instability for the two-phase Navier–Stokes equations in cylindrical domains
Authors: Wilke Mathias
Published: August 2022

We are considering the two-phase Navier–Stokes equations with surface tension, modelling the dynamic behaviour of two immiscible and incompressible fluids in a cylindrical domain, which are separated by a sharp interface forming a contact angle with the fixed boundary. In the case that the heavy fluid is situated on top of the light fluid, one expects the effect which is known as
Rayleigh–Taylor instability
. Our main result implies the existence of a critical surface tension with the following property: In the case that the surface tension of the interface separating the two fluids is smaller than the critical surface tension, Rayleigh–Taylor instability occurs. On the contrary, if the surface tension of the interface is larger than the critical value, one has exponential stability of the flat interfaces. The last part of this article is concerned with the bifurcation of nontrivial equilibria in multiple eigenvalues. The invariance of the corresponding bifurcation equation with respect to rotations and reflections yields the existence of bifurcating subcritical equilibria.

We present the recent results in Berti et al. [Invent. Math. (2022), to appear] regarding the Benjamin–Feir instability of small amplitude Stokes waves in deep water. We completely describe the behavior of the four eigenvalues close to zero of the linearized water waves equations at the Stokes solution, as the Floquet exponent is turned on, proving the conjecture that a pair of non-purely imaginary eigenvalues depicts a closed figure “8”, in full agreement with numerical simulations.
Hölder–Zygmund classes on smooth curves

We prove that a function in several variables is in the local Zygmund class

\mathcal{Z}^{m,1}

if and only if its composite with every smooth curve is of class

\mathcal{Z}^{m,1}

. This complements the well-known analogous result for local Hölder–Lipschitz classes

\mathcal{C}^{m,\alpha}

, which we reprove along the way. We demonstrate that these results generalize to mappings between Banach spaces and use them to study the regularity of the superposition operator

f_*\colon g \mapsto f \circ g

acting on the global Zygmund space

\Lambda_{m+1}(\mathbb{R}^d)

. We prove that, for all integers

m,k\ge 1

, the map

f_*\colon \Lambda_{m+1}(\mathbb{R}^d) \to \Lambda_{m+1}(\mathbb{R}^d)

is of Lipschitz class

\mathcal{C}^{k-1,1}

Hablar para ser escuchada o sobre el leer y escribir el mal en incesante penuria
Authors: González Valerio María Antonia
Published: August 2022

Este artículo discute la relación entre escritura y lectura desde la hermenéutica filosófica de Paul Ricœur con el objetivo de reflexionar críticamente cuál es el propósito de escribir el mal y qué tipo de lectura puede propiciar. A partir del análisis de las estructuras narrativas y la construcción de la trama que plantea dicha hermenéutica, este artículo se centra en algunos relatos de violencia de género en la narrativa mexicana contemporánea escrita por mujeres, los cuales dejan ver relaciones de opresión y dominio que, lejos de ser extraordinarias, constituyen el orden y la dinámica del mal que se repite y perpetúa en nuestra cotidianidad. El acto de leer se presenta aquí como un compromiso ético-político de escuchar lo que se narra y de responder.
Ciencia y banalidad: en busca de nuevas responsabilidades
Authors: Guevara Aristizábal Juan Felipe , Mercado Reyes Agustín
Published: August 2022

La ciencia moderna es una de las aventuras más grandes del pensamiento; como Hannah Arendt muestra, ha propiciado un cambio propiamente cósmico de nuestra perspectiva como especie, permitiendo salir del límite terrestre que parecía constituir inevitablemente la condición humana. Sin embargo, la descripción que hace Arendt del poder de la ciencia tiene como contrapunto una conceptualización del mal como una incapacidad o negativa para pensar, particularmente para pensar en los demás, a lo que llamó “mal banal”. Dada la importancia de la empresa científica en nuestro destino, y dado el turbulento estado de nuestro mundo en épocas recientes, es necesario plantearse la pregunta: ¿es posible que las prácticas científicas tengan una relación con este mal banal? En esta propuesta exploramos esa posible relación, y la manera en que pensarla apunta a otra ciencia posible, una que pueda adquirir responsabilidades frente a sus propias acciones.
La inscripción de los colosos. Una lectura de Clamor de Jacques Derrida
Authors: Moreno Romero Cuitláhuac
Published: August 2022

En Clamor (Glas), Derrida se ocupa de una doble columna de escritura: Hegel y Genet. Por un lado, la historia, el pensamiento, la economía política, la ley y el Estado; por el otro, el deseo, la exclusión, el crimen, la injusticia y una incierta santidad. El ejercicio de Derrida nos obliga a mirar a dos colosos, dos muertos, que no coinciden en su encuentro. En este artículo me interesa atravesar el tejido de Derrida, para confrontar lo que aparece en los escritos de Hegel y Genet en torno a la ley del Estado y al asesinato en condiciones de exclusión y marginalidad. El artículo revisa también algunas consideraciones sobre los crímenes de odio y de Estado que asedian a las personas de las sexualidades periféricas.
El fondo cotidiano del mal. Minima moralia
Authors: Yébenes Escardó Zenia
Published: August 2022

El artículo se aproxima al mal como la producción de un daño innecesario que se da en modos de relación. Intenta señalar, a través de análisis concretos, cómo, los actos que nos producen horror, son la cristalización de formas de relación que se dan en la vida diaria. La cuestión del mal se vincula con la pregunta por la vulnerabilidad defendiendo, no obstante, que el mal no es ni una esencia trascendente ni una estructura rígida frente a la que estemos impotentes. Posteriormente propongo una minima moralia centrada en la forma en la que miramos, imaginamos, prestamos atención y somos capaces de responder, así como en la manera en la que la inquietante extrañeza de lo cotidiano puede servir para la ética y la política.

Published: August 2022

Heterogeneous Information Networks (HINs) provide a natural way to represent different
relationships among entities of different kinds, as a consequence they are valuable in many domains.
Analysing and extracting understanding from HINs normally is based at the idea of meta paths, which
are paths in the community schema denoting family members of different semantics among entities.
Moreover, real-global HINs are frequently extremely big, containing thousands and thousands of
nodes and edges. Therefore, exploring and analysing HINs not only requires interdisciplinary knowhow, having the ability both to interpret and pick out suitable meta paths inside the network, but
additionally to run the analysis in an efficient and scalable manner. However, there may be a loss of
tools to facilitate this assignment. Most real system include a huge wide variety of interacting, multityped components, while most current researches version them as homogeneous networks, without
distinguishing different forms of objects and links in the networks. In recent years, an increasing
amount of works have been proposed to present helper data in recommender system to alleviate
information sparsity and cold-start issues. Among them, heterogeneous information networks (HIN)-
based recommender systems give a brought together way to deal with meld different helper data,
which can be joined with standard suggestion calculations to successfully upgrade the presentation
and interpretability of models, and accordingly have been applied in many kinds of recommendation
tasks. This paper gives a far reaching and efficient overview of HIN-based recommender systems,
including four perspectives: ideas, strategies, applications, and resources.

Published: August 2022

General principles of the European Union law are a source of law whose importance increased progressively throughout the entire period of existence of this European integration, largely due to case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. General uncodified legal rules are often used by the Court, in order to conceal obviousness of judicial creation of law, thereby achieving the impression of neutrality and objectivity of its decisions. One of the general principles of European Union law, because of which creative application the Court was sometimes called out, particularly in the context of limiting freedoms of the single market, is the principle of proportionality. General influence of European Union law on national legal systems is analysed in the first part of the paper. Meaning and content of the proportionality, as well as application of the said principle in the area of the European administrative law, is analysed in the second part of the paper. Finally, the trends in the application of the principle of proportionality in the interpretation of the scope of application of freedoms of the single market, with emphasis on the influence of the relevant part of the acquis communautaire on the formation of national legal systems are identified and critically assessed in the third part of the paper.

Published: August 2022

Overthinking is most common in students nowadays after the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. The main reason behind this is due to lockdown or quarantine at home for a long time. The coronavirus infected many people some have died, and this may cause worry and ruminative thoughts that result in mental illness. This research is designed to study the significant exposure of overthinking in which we take five factors related to overthinking. For this purpose, we used a sample of 150 students from different universities in Multan via purposive and snowball sampling. The variables of the study are Rumination, Depression, Brooding, Worry, and the Mental health of the students. These were measured on the Likert scale through the questionnaire. The findings concluded that there is a positive correlation among all the variables of the study. From the correlation matrix, we see that mental health is strongly correlated with rumination and worry. Mental health is one of the causes of overthinking, it is used as a dependent variable in this study. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression model is used to check the effect of rumination, brooding, depression, and worry on mental health. Results show that rumination and worry were the significant exposures for making changes in mental health. The study concluded that as rumination and worry increase, mental health disturbs so which may result in overthinking in the students. This study will be helpful for worldwide students to overcome mental health problem and fight against overthinking during any pandemic.

Authors:   University Technical Malaysia Melaka, Johann Ong
Published: August 2022

Wafer fabrication for integrated circuit is one of the most complicated process in semiconductor manufacturing industry. High yield is always the ultimate goal to achieve hence a good defect management is the key to ensure the goal is met. Salicide residue is a major defect wet etching process. The defect is contributing a total of 1% loss in overall wafer fab sort yield, that is an equivalent to USD$ 5 million loss per year. The objective for this research is to identify the root cause and determine the element of the residue defect in the wafer substrate at Salicide Pre-Clean wafer fabrication process. Once this has been achieved, next is to determine a novelty solution to reduce the residue defects and finally validate the effectiveness of the novel solution in reducing the salicide residue defects. An investigation of one factor at the time has been conducted with various experiments including screening all the hardware resources available by using ANOVA studies. The result has concluded that the salicide residue consists of carbon defect is observed after Salicide Pre-Clean step when the standard diluted hydrofluoric acid (dHF) is used by the wet station equipment to clean the product wafers. This study has discovered an innovated solution to minimize the chemical contact on the wafer has resulted in reducing the post clean defects residue by 80% and eliminate 1% of the total product sort yield loss issue.
A New Approach on the Two-Dimensional Differential Transform
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Benghazi, Benghazi, Libya, Madi Fadwa A. M.
Published: August 2022

In recent years, new formulas of the two-dimensional differential transform have been proven by using the definition of the transform. In this work, we use a new approach based on the definition of the transform and the summation properties to prove the two-dimensional differential transform of the product of two functions, then we used this result to establish other useful formulas. This study shows that this procedure can be used to find formulas for many complicated terms. This enables us to apply the differential transform method on many types of partial differential equations. To demonstrate this approach, we applied the dimensional differential transform method on selected equations and compared our results with analytical solutions obtained by other methods

Crowded Teeth Elimination: Proportional and Controlled Narrowing of Upper Incisors
Authors:   Dental Clinic-studio Apollonia, Poltava, Ukraine, Radlinsky Serhiy
Published: August 2022

Anterior teeth crowding when the total width of the teeth is greater than the length of the anterior sextant of the dentition, is the most common dentomaxillary anomaly. In order to eliminate crowding of the anterior teeth the reduction of the proximal enamel is widely used to reduce the width of the teeth and improve conditions for subsequent orthodontic treatment [1-6]. Based on the calculation of the anterior sextant of the dentition using the «golden coefficient», it is possible to determine the optimal width of the central and lateral incisors for the anterior sextants of a given length, when all the anterior teeth will be symmetrical and proportional when they are in the correct position [7-10]. For the proportional lack of place distribution for all frontal teeth, it has been proposed to make the enamel reduction of every tooth from both proximal surfaces according to the calculation, with maintaining of contact surfaces and contact point position. Then orthodontic treatment will not require an expansion of the dental arch

Sales revenues must be analysed both from an income point of view through ROS and from a financial and/or monetary point of view, i.e. determined in terms of monetary flows, representing the essential financial lifeblood for the company’s management to be carried out in total efficiency and effectiveness. The sales return analysis must therefore be twofold: income and monetary. This analysis must include all the necessary steps to identify the specific causes of the trend, positive or negative, of the profit and monetary ‘return’ of sales revenue

Published: August 2022

Pentacam (Oculus, Inc., Almanya), RTVue (OptovueInc., Freemont, ABD) ve Spectralis (Heidelberg GmbH, Almanya) cihazları ile saptanan iridokorneal açı (İKA) ölçümlerinin tutarlılık ve uyumluluğunun değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. 22 sağlıklı katılımcının 22 gözü retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Pentacam cihazında ölçümler her gözde saat 3 ve 9 kadranlarda (nazal ve temporal) otomatik olarak alınmış olup, trabeküler-iris açı değerleri kaydedilmiştir. RTVue ve Spectralis ön segment optik koherens tomografilerinde (ÖS-OKT) ise, ön kamara girintisi açısı (ÖKGA), skleral mahmuz açısı (SMA) ve 500 µm uzaklıktan açı açılış uzaklığı (AAU500) parametreleri kaydedilmiştir. Tüm ölçümler benzer aydınlatma koşulları altında gerçekleştirilmiştir. 18 yaş altı olgular, geçirilmiş oküler cerrahi veya lazer öyküsü, İKA ölçümleri üzerinde farklılık yaratabilecek refraktif kusurlar, fiksasyon bozukluğu ya da yetersiz ön segment görüntü kalitesi, muayene esnasında GİB’si 21 mmHg üzerinde olan olgular çalışma dışında bırakılmıştır. Tüm cihazlar hem nazal hem temporal kadranlarda ÖKGA-SMA yönünden birbirleriyle uyumlu bulunmuştur (sırasıyla temporal-nazal ICC; 0.871, 0.837; 0.872, 0.839). Bland-Altman analizine göre Pentacam referans cihaz olarak alındığında, ÖKGA değeri yükseldikçe hem RTVue hem de Spectralis ölçümleri daha yüksek uyumluluk göstermektedir. ÖKGA, Pentacam ve RTVue için hem nazal hem temporal kadranlarda istatistiksel benzer sonuçlar verirken, Spectralis’te daha dar sonuçlar vermiştir (nazal kadran p=0.003, temporal kadran p=0.007). RTVue ve Spectralis arasında AAU500 değerleri arasında iyi tutarlılık görülse de (temporal kadran ICC: 0.825, nazal kadran ICC: 0.882), Spectralis’in RTVue’ya göre daha yüksek sonuçlar gösterdiği belirlenmiştir (p˂0.001). IKA değerlendirilmesi için Pentacam, RTVue ve Spectralis ölçümlerinin birbirleriyle uyumlu olduğu saptansa da gerek ÖKGA-SMA, gerekse AAU500 değerlerinin cihazlar arası farklılığı göz önüne alındığında, hasta takibinde ilgili cihazların birbirleri yerine kullanılmasının uygun olmayabileceği düşünülebilir.

Parkinson hastalığı (PH) olan kişilerin büyük bir kısmında, hastalıklarının seyri sırasında yutma bozukluğu (disfaji) gelişir. Hastalar tarafından genellikle arka planda tutulan disfaji, katı veya sıvı bolus alımını zorlaştırır, yaşam kalitesini azaltır ve PH'de başta gelen ölüm nedenlerinden biri olan aspirasyon pnömonisine yol açar. Yutma bozukluğu gelişiminde hastalık evresi, kilo kaybı, Birleşik Parkinson Hastalığı Derecelendirme Ölçeği (BPHDÖ) bölüm III skorunun >26 olması, demans ve siyalore gibi klinik öngörücüler bulunmaktadır. PH’de disfajinin altta yatan patofizyolojisi tam olarak anlaşılamamasına rağmen dopaminerjik ve dopaminerjik olmayan mekanizmalardaki bozulmaların rol oynayabileceği bildirilmiştir. PH'de ortaya çıkan disfajinin değerlendirmesinde tarama araçları, klinik yutma değerlendirmesi ve enstrümantal yöntemler, yutma bozukluğu riski taşıyan hastaları belirlemek için kullanılabilir. Altın standart olarak düşünülen videofloroskopik yutma çalışması (VFYÇ) ve fiberoptik endoskopik yutma değerlendirmesi (FEYD) gibi enstrümantal yöntemler ile Parkinson hastalarının yutma fazlarındaki tipik bozulma paternleri belirlenebilir, disfaji daha erken tanılanabilir, aspirasyon olayları doğru bir şekilde tespit edilebilir ve erken müdahale sağlanabilir. PH ile ilişkili disfajinin yönetimi, kompansatuar, rehabilitatif ve tıbbi-farmakolojik yöntemleri içerir. Dopaminerjik ilaçların optimize edilmesi bazı durumlarda faydalı olabilir. Nöromusküler elektriksel stimülasyon (NMES), derin beyin stimülasyonu (DBS) ve transkraniyal manyetik stimülasyonun (TMS) PH ile ilişkili disfajinin tedavisinde faydalı etkilerine yönelik daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Bu derlemenin amacı, PH ile ilişkili yutma bozukluklarının epidemiyolojisi, patofizyolojisi, değerlendirilmesi ve yönetimi hakkında genel bir bakış açısı sunmak ve gelecekteki klinik araştırmalar için yol gösterici olmaktır.

The construction industry is the second largest economic sector of the Sultanate of Oman. The construction industry plays important role in infrastructural development both for the public and private sectors. The delays in construction projects impact directly the economic development of the country. The present study aimed to analyze the delays in a construction project by conducting a survey based on a questionnaire. The questionnaire survey is answered by 74 respondents and the quantitative data is further subjected to statistical analysis. The results are further tested through the Pearson chi-square test of independence and Cramer’s V tests. The results show that several factors contribute to the project delays in Oman including cultural differences, design changes, poor project management, and changes in project scope at the time of project execution. The managerial issues involved payment delays to contractors and authoritarian delays. The clients faced poor planning and execution of the project by the contractor and sub-contracting of the critical project phases.
The Repercussions of Representation

Published: August 2022

Representation in the media has, to a great degree, shaped people’s views of communities they have not had personal interaction with. With growing awareness about the lives and rights of transgender individuals, a concern is raised about how they are showcased in media. This research study aims to evaluate the impact of depicting gender and related themes in media on the lives of urban transgender Indian youth belonging to the age group of 15 to 19 years old. This was accomplished through conducting focus group sessions to understand the participants’ views furthermore thematic analysis was carried out to interpret and thematise the findings. The study illuminated feelings of alienation, from the rest of the community and from society as a whole. The participants showed signs of internalised transphobia that linked to the vision of them shown in the media. While moving forward, media seeking to represent the transgender, or any minority, community need to consider the impacts of their representation. In particular, having members from the community oversee their work and be involved in the production of the same would ensure authentic and relatable representation. This would create job opportunities for transgender individuals in the film industry, thereby increasing their livelihood and leading to betterment in the functioning of the industry. In addition, it would help secure the place of gender minorities in a society that currently either refuses to acknowledge their existence or has a warped perception of them.
