Advanced Surgical Techniques for Dural Venous Sinus Repair: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Authors: Madriñán-Navia Humberto José , Scherschinski Lea , Benet Arnau , Lawton Michael T.
Published: February 2024

The dural venous sinus (DVS) is a thin-walled blood channel composed of dura mater that is susceptible to injury during common neurosurgical approaches. DVS injuries are highly underreported, which is reflected by a lack of literature on the topic. Neurosurgeons should be familiar with appropriate techniques to successfully repair an injured DVS and prevent associated complications. This study presents a literature review on the surgical techniques for DVS repair after DVS injury during common neurosurgical approaches. The databases PubMed and Scopus were queried using the terms “cranial sinuses,” “superior sagittal sinus,” “transverse sinuses,” “injury,” and “surgery.” A total of 117 articles underwent full-text review and were analyzed for surgical approach, craniotomy, lesion location, lesion characteristics, and surgical repair techniques. A literature review was performed, and a comprehensive summary is presented. Data from publications describing DVS lacerations related to pathological conditions (eg, meningioma) were excluded. A total of 9 techniques aiding with bleeding control, hemostasis, and sinus repair and reconstruction were identified, including compression, hemostatic agents, bipolar cautery, dural tenting and tack-up suturing, dural flap, direct suturing, autologous patch, venous bypass, and ligation. The advantages and drawbacks of each technique are described. Multiple options to treat DVS injuries are available to the neurosurgeon. Treatment type is based on anatomic location, complexity of the laceration, cardiovascular status, the presence of air embolism, and the dexterity and experience of the surgeon.
The Use of Histoacryl Injections to Treat Subgaleal Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection After Cranioplasty
Authors: Kim Min Chan , Lee Jung Jae , Lee Eunhye , Lee Min Ho
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Cranioplasty is an important and basic operation in the neurosurgical field. An emergency craniectomy is performed to control malignant cerebral edema. If the patient survives, cranioplasty is performed to restore the skull defect; however, subgaleal cerebrospinal fluid collection (SCSFC) may occur. The authors aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative SCSFC and effective solutions with the subgaleal Histoacryl injection.

METHODS:

From January 2020 to December 2022, 154 craniectomies were performed at our hospital to relieve significant cerebral edema after traumatic brain injury; of these, 67 patients survived and underwent cranioplasty. Ten cases of postcranioplasty SCSFC were identified, among which 6 received subgaleal Histoacryl injection.

RESULTS:

Among the 10 SCSFC cases, 3 resolved with compression after cerebrospinal fluid aspiration, and 1 resolved after revision surgery and dural closure. Histoacryl injection was attempted for the other 6 patients. A single injection was sufficient for SCSFC resolution in 3 patients. One patient required 2 injections, and another required 3 injections. The remaining patient underwent epiduroperitoneal shunt surgery because of SCSFC persistence after 3 Histoacryl injections. Five of 6 patients (83.3%) showed an improvement of more than 80% after Histoacryl injection.

CONCLUSION:

Subgaleal Histoacryl injection is not considered a fundamental treatment for postoperative SCSFC but can be a successful alternative treatment.
Effects of clinical nursing pathway on postoperative satisfaction and quality of life of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Ge Min , Gan Ning , Shan Yuchao , Tian Nan
Published: February 2024

Objective: To explore the effects of clinical nursing pathway (CNP) on the postoperative satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Methods: This is a retrospective study. Eighty patients with SAH admitted to Baoding No.1 Central Hospital from June 2021 to January 2023 were prospectively divided into a observation group and a control group by random numbers. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was additional given CNP. The prognosis, cognitive function, QOL, self-care ability, nursing satisfaction and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.

Results: After CNP nursing, the GCS and MMSE scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group 14 days, one month and six months after the operation; and the difference was statistically significant (p< 0.05). Six months after the operation, the SS-QOL and Ability of daily living (ADL) scores in both groups were significantly improved compared with those before the intervention; and the improvement in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group; and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05). The nursing satisfaction score in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group. The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group.

Conclusions: The CNP intervention in perioperative period of SAH patients has remarkable clinical effect, can improve the pertinence and efficiency of nursing, promote patients to recover as soon as possible, significantly improve the QOL of patients,and is worthy of clinical popularization.

Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in child sex offenders and associations with health indicators
Authors: Togas Constantinos , Alexias George
Published: February 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of ACEs among child sex offenders in Greece and their associations with specific health indicators (e.g., smoking, alcoholism). A cross-sectional study was conducted (between February and April 2023) using a convenience sample of 158 child sex offenders in Tripolis prison, Greece. The questionnaire included demographic and criminal information, the BRFSS ACEs module, and four additional childhood experiences (death of a parent or sibling, etc.). Their mean age was 50.5 years (min=22, max=83, range=61), and the majority were smokers (62%) and had at least one chronic disease (63.3%). Small percentages used drugs (7.6%) and were alcoholics (8.2%). The mean ACEs score was .76 (min=0, max=6, range=6). One out of three offenders (33.5%) had experienced at least one ACE and 6.3% had four or more ACEs. The most common ACEs were intimate partner violence (15.8%), physical abuse (13.3%), and parental separation/divorce (12.7%). Smaller percentages were recorded for substance abuse and emotional abuse (10.8%), incarcerated household members (10.1%), sexual abuse (7.59%), and mental health problems of household members (0.6%). Those with four or more ACEs had a higher likelihood of being smokers (odds ratio=5.97, 95% CI: 1.074-48.335) and alcoholics (odds ratio=1.37, 95% CI: 1.028-1.124). Age was negatively correlated with the ACEs scores (r=-.312, p<.001). In conclusion, these offenders reported many ACEs, but fewer than those found in other studies abroad. Future research should further examine the preliminary findings of this study.
Ionic Art and Script in Archaic Macedonia: Origin(s), Medium(s), Effect(s)
Authors: Boufalis Angelos
Published: February 2024

It is widely assumed that Macedonia in the late Archaic period was under East Greek influence. This view was formed decades ago, based on scant evidence, but has since been established through repetition and persists despite the growing number of reported and published finds that indicate otherwise. In this paper I intend to challenge this opinio communis and to reframe the issue of Ionic influence in archaic Macedonia within the wider Northern Aegean context. To this end, the relevant pieces of evidence are reviewed, focusing on works of sculpture in the Ionic style and inscriptions in Ionic script, but also examining the coinage in the name of Alexander I. In short, it is demonstrated that the available pieces of evidence do not support widespread East Greek influence in Macedonia in the late Archaic period and it is argued that it was rather through the Cycladic colonies in the Strymonic Gulf that Ionic art reached Macedonia; that mostly Ionians from these colonies were responsible for the inscriptions in Ionic script in Macedonia; and that it was possibly a Central, not East, Ionic script that was employed on Alexander I’s coinage.
The role of angiotensin receptor blocker (losartan) on decreasing fibrotic process of corpora cavernosa in priapism model of wistar rats
Authors: Siregar Safendra , Rulianov Rulianov , Ksatriapraja Rangga Adhazi , Stefanus Dicky
Published: February 2024

Background Priapism induces regulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression and collagen-type-1 deposition. This will replace the normal corpora cavernosa with fibrotic tissue which eventually resulted in erectile dysfunction. It is also known that the fibrosis process of corpora cavernosa is related to Renin-Angiotensin II System (RAS). Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), especially losartan, inhibit the inflammation process and fibrotic tissue formation. This study evaluated the effect of losartan in reducing fibrosis in priapism by evaluating TGF-β1 and collagen-type-1 in cavernous tissue and determined the effect of losartan in preventing fibrosis in priapism model of Wistar rats assessed by the metavir score. Methods A total of eighteen male Wistar rats mean were divided into five groups. For the priapism models, we applied negative pressure on the penis to make an artificial erection to mimic the priapism process. The control groups were observed and the treatment groups were orally given losartan 15 mg/kg/day. Corpora cavernosa was harvested for TGF-β1 and collagen-type-1 measurement using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The fibrotic tissue of each rat was then collected and assessed histopathologically with the metavir scoring system. Results Penile TGF-β1 concentration in the losartan-treated group was not significantly different on day 10 and day 28 of observation (p10=0,30; p28=0,17). Meanwhile, collagen-type-1 concentration was significantly lower compared to control group (p10=0,002; p28=0,01). There was a significant difference in metavir scores in rats that received losartan and those who did not (p<0,05). Conclusion Losartan could suppress the fibrosis process in the priapism model. It could decrease the collagen type 1 deposition during corpora cavernosa tissue regeneration. Based on the metavir score, the group receiving losartan therapy was better than the control group.
Understanding the high electronic quantum similarity of a series of ligands used as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 virus by molecular mechanics and density functional theory approaches
Authors: Morales-Bayuelo Alejandro , Sánchez-Márquez Jesús
Published: February 2024

Background A coronavirus identified in 2019, SARS-CoV-2, has caused a pandemic of respiratory illness, called COVID-19. Most people with COVID-19 experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without the need for special treatments. The SARS‑CoV‑2 RNA‑dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle. The active site of the RdRp is a very accessible region, so targeting this region to study the inhibition of viral replication may be an effective therapeutic approach. For this reason, this study has selected and analysed a series of ligands used as SARS-CoV-2 virus inhibitors, namely: Darunavir (Daru), Dexamethasona (Dexame), Dolutegravir (Dolu), Fosamprenavir (Fosam), Ganciclovir (Gan), Insoine (Inso), Lopinavir (Lop), Ritonavir (Rito) and Tipranavir (Tipra). Methods These ligands were analyzed using molecular docking, molecular quantum similarity using four similarity indices like overlap, Coulomb and their Euclidean distances. On the other hand, these outcomes were supported with chemical reactivity indices defined within a conceptual density functional theory framework. Results The results show the conformations with the highest root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), have π-π stacking interaction with residue LYS621, ARG555 and ASP623, CYS622, ASP760, among others. In the molecular quantum similarity, the highest indices have been obtained in the electronic similarity in comparison with the structural similarity. Conclusions These studies allow the identification of the main stabilizing interactions using the crystal structure of SARS‑CoV‑2 RNA‑dependent RNA polymerase. In this order of ideas, this study provides new insights into these ligands that can be used in the design of new COVID-19 treatments. The studies allowed us to find an explanation supported in the Density Functional Theory about the chemical reactivity and the stabilization in the active site of the ligands.
Crear conceptos: presencias del “universal fantástico” viquiano en el pensamiento italiano del siglo XXI.
Authors: Luglio Davide
Published: February 2024

El artículo analiza la herencia viquiana en el pensamiento moderno, en particular en el pensamiento moderno italiano. A partir de una periodización de esta herencia, según la cual el XIX es el siglo del Vico filósofo de la historia, el XX corresponde al Vico filósofo del lenguaje y el XXI pone en relieve al pensador del cuerpo y se reconoce en el “universale fantastico” (universal fantástico) el legado más relevante del pensamiento viquiano. Este legado actúa críticamente dentro del pensamiento de autores como Agamben, Deleuze y Esposito e influye también en escritores como Pasolini.
Bases para una interpretación de Gentile a partir de (su) Vico.
Authors: Zúnica García Alfonso
Published: February 2024

El presente trabajo se propone determinar un criterio con que interpretar de modo global el desarrollo del pensamiento de Giovanni Gentile. Su caracterización como pensador neohegeliano no da razón del sentido global de su filosofía ni de sus efectivos puntos de partida ni de los pensadores con los que directamente se midió. El trabajo hace ver que, con Donato Jaja, su maestro universitario, la tradición idealista iniciada por Bertrando Spaventa se separa definitivamente de la interpretación de Hegel y se constituye como tradición autónoma. En ese sentido, buscamos precisar los rasgos característicos de la personalidad filosófica de Gentile dentro de dicha tradición y concluimos que Vico ocupó un papel nuclear en ella
The Effects of Homegrown Rule on Efficiency of Sports Teams: Evidence from the English Premier League
Authors: Shin Seung Min , Chung Kyunghwa , Kim Changhee
Published: February 2024

In the sports industry, governing bodies often have regulations for political and societal purposes. Despite their well-meaning intentions, the regulations often tend to be detrimental to stakeholders, including players and sports clubs. This study investigates the impact of the Football Association’s homegrown regulation on the operational efficiency of football clubs in the English Premier League (EPL). Using data envelopment analysis, we calculate the efficiency scores of 10 EPL clubs and compare them before and after the implementation of the regulation. Our results show that the efficiency of EPL football clubs decreased after the regulation was implemented, supporting the adverse effects of the homegrown rule. Our results further reveal that clubs were affected by the regulation to varying degrees. The distinct patterns of efficiency score changes in some clubs are explained by their unique managerial circumstances, such as ownership changes. Compliance costs, which vary depending on the level of each club’s youth academy system, also moderate the impact of the regulation. The findings of this study imply that imposing homegrown regulation on clubs unanimously without considering clubs’ different conditions leads to operational inefficiencies, generating adverse effects. This study has rich implications with respect to the productivity management of team sports. It also provides deep insights for the governing bodies trying to develop better policies.

Authors: Contreras-Moreno Fernando M. , Jesús-Espinosa Daniel , Sánchez Khiavett , Méndez-Tun José , Cruz-Romo Lizardo
Published: February 2024

Artificial water troughs have been implemented in the Calakmul region as a measure that contributes to the maintenance of wildlife populations during the drought season.  The aim of this study was to estimate the use of artificial water troughs by three species of deer (Odocoileus virginianus, M. pandora, and Mazama temama) in the Maya Forest of Campeche in southeastern México.  The study was carried out in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (CBR, in Spanish) in southeastern México.  Seventy artificial water troughs were installed, most of them within the core areas of the CBR.  Between December 2018 and August 2021, eight digital traps were placed in eight artificial water troughs to monitor the presence of deer.  The Photographic Visit Index (PVI) was calculated, and the visit rates of each species were compared by sampling year for each monitoring station.  Deer activity patterns were evaluated using circular statistics to assess whether there were differences between visiting times.  Watson-Williams tests were performed during the different sampling months.  The density of records was analyzed to identify the degree of overlap in the deer activity patterns.  With a sampling effort of 4,672 nights/camera, we captured 477 records of O. virginianus, 229 of M. pandora, and three of M. temama using artificial water troughs in the CBR.  Due to the scarce records of M. temama in water troughs, comparative analyses were performed only with the other two deer species. According to the PVI, in the case of O. virginianus, highly significant differences were found between the three sampling years (H = 12.575, df = 2, P < 0.001); similarly, M. pandora showed highly significant differences between sampling years (H = 9.29, df = 2, P = 0.001).  Regarding activity patterns, O. virginianus is mainly diurnal, with peaks of activity in the early hours of the day (8:00 h to 9:00 h).  M. pandora was also mainly diurnal, showing the highest peaks of activity in the early hours of the day and before dusk. O. virginianus and M. pandora regularly visit water troughs, and the presence of deer in water troughs responds to their need to drink water for thermoregulation.  The activity pattern of deer was mainly diurnal; it is safer for both species to move during the day because predators were recorded constantly in the study area.  The degree of overlap recorded between O. virginianus and M. pandora suggests that both species are active at the same times of the day.

LETRAMENTO RACIAL E PEDAGOGIA ENGAJADA: LEITURA DE BELL HOOKS E FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE
Authors: De Olinda Sahmaroni Rodrigues
Published: February 2024

O trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o letramento racial de licenciandos(as) no grupo de estudos “bell hooks, Pedagogia engajada e formação docente”. Trata-se de perceber como a leitura do mundo e a leitura da palavra se entremeiam, complexificam-se e se ampliam quando em contato com leituras de autores e autoras críticas. Como base teórica, utilizamos os fundamentos de uma pedagogia engajada proposta por bell hooks (2017, 2020a) e Paulo Freire (2020a, 2020b). O trabalho foi elaborado a partir de depoimentos e entrevistas com 8 estudantes dos cursos de Pedagogia, Ciências Biológicas e Ciências Sociais da Faculdade de Educação de Itapipoca (Facedi) cuja participação no grupo de estudos se deu durante o semestre 2022.1, e analisado levando em conta perspectivas que se repetiam nos depoimentos, e diferenças na maneira como cada um(a) figurava o modo como a obra da autora impactou sua leitura de mundo, tendo em vista a ideia de letramento racial (SCHUCMAN, 2012). Como resultados, pudemos perceber no material produzido nas entrevistas que a leitura da educadora feminista negra causou forte impacto no modo como o grupo entendia a docência, e o modo como decidiram se engajar concretamente na formação do grupo como uma comunidade de aprendizagem antirracista, anticlassista e antissexista.

Published: February 2024

O artigo tem o objetivo de refletir sobre as possibilidades de processos de ensino-aprendizagem com conteúdo e práticas de Cultura e arte afro-brasileiras nas aulas de artes visuais. A partir das leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2008, que alteraram a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação, de 1996, regulamentando a obrigatoriedade do ensino da História e Cultura Indígenas, africanas e afro-brasileira. A pesquisa realizada se caracteriza como bibliográfica cujo levantamento de conceitos, teorias e práticas permitiram a elaboração de uma proposta pedagógica com base em três obras da artista paulistana Rosana Paulino. Em seus trabalhos a artista aborda o histórico das relações étnico raciais no Brasil como forma de reconhecer o processo de silenciamento e exclusão da população negra no Brasil. A proposta une os fazeres artísticos da artista com a proposição de uma educação para o respeito à diversidade étnica e cultural brasileira, essa ação também é fundamental como processo da construção de uma educação que combata o racismo e valorize as raízes que formaram o Brasil.

Apresentamos uma breve discussão bibliográfica sobre o currículo e o direito à educação como extensão do direito à cidade, adentramos na proposição do ensino de história a partir dos diferentes espaços da cidade e defendemos a ideia de que o método e forma como ensinamos história pressupõe a construção do saber escolar histórico na cidade com potencial educativo.
A ESCRITA CARTOGRÁFICA E A DIMENSÃO COLETIVA DA EXPERIÊNCIA
Authors: Kastrup Virgínia
Published: February 2024

O estudo dá continuidade à discussão do problema da escrita nas pesquisas que utilizam o método da cartografia em teses, dissertações e artigos. O ponto de partida é a definição da cartografia como princípio metodológico do rizoma (DELEUZE; GUATTARI,1995) e as pistas propostas por Passos, Kastrup e Escóssia (2009) e por Passos, Kastrup e Tedesco (2014). O objetivo é analisar as dificuldades e estratégias de aprendizado da escrita cartográfica nos espaços de formação, destacando a dimensão coletiva da experiência da pesquisa. Destaca que a grande diretriz da política de escrita cartográfica é evitar a política de escrita representacional, baseada em informações supostamente objetivas e neutras. O estudo analisa também a experiência de uma oficina de escrita realizada na pandemia e destaca a potência de ecossistemas menos hierarquizados e mais favoráveis à escuta atenta, à partilha de afetos e ao cuidado. Procura demonstrar que a escrita cartográfica é baseada numa política cognitiva inventiva e  possui uma dimensão coletiva, mesmo quando se faz a partir da experiência que é narrada em primeira pessoa do singular. Conclui que escrever com os afetos requer estratégias de desconstrução da política de escrita representacional e a experimentação de estratégias de escrita inventiva e coletiva, com vistas à produção de efeitos de contágio e de intervenção.
IDENTIDADE TEXTUAL E LITERATURA NEGRO-BRASILEIRA: PROCESSOS DE FORMAÇÃO DE LEITORES LITERÁRIOS E ESCRITORES E A LEI 10.639/03
Authors: Rodrigues Renata de Oliveira Batista
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo discute os processos de identificação com o texto e a literatura negro-brasileira, enquanto criação da população negra, que se constituiu fora do continente africano, configurando uma experiência brasileira. A subjetividade é simultaneamente negra e brasileira, caminhando para a discussão a respeito da luta participativa da população negra nos destinos da nação, especialmente os literários. A literatura é uma instância discursiva importante uma vez que atua no imaginário das pessoas, antes mesmo de ser lida, por conta dos filtros a que é submetida. Os procedimentos metodológicos para a realização do estudo, apontam uma pesquisa bibliográfica que dialoga com as práticas docentes em literatura realizadas em unidades públicas de educação na rede municipal de Niterói. A respeito do referencial teórico, este estudo possui dois pilares: o conceito de representação do Stuart Hall e a literatura negro-brasileira de Cuti. Como resultado da pesquisa, é possível apontar que as experiências negro-literárias foram percebidas enquanto disparadoras de reflexões a respeito das mais diversas questões da existência humana, tanto as raciais, como as de gênero.

Published: February 2024

O presente artigo estabelece algumas considerações sobre as perspectivas e os desafios para implantação da Lei 10.639/2003 no sistema educacional brasileiro. A referida Lei, ao alterar a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN, nº 9394 de 1996), tornou obrigatório o ensino da história e da cultura afro-brasileira nas práticas escolares, marcando, assim, sua constância nos currículos do país. Resultado de uma antiga reivindicação do movimento negro que defende uma educação antirracista, a validação da Lei possibilita tornar o processo de ensino/aprendizagem desmistificador, opondo-o às práticas de opressão. Nesse ínterim, este trabalho centraliza-se no objetivo de apresentar duas experiências de práticas pedagógicas antirracistas na educação básica na Rede pública do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Defende-se aqui que esse debate seja ampliado para além dos componentes curriculares da História, das Artes e da Literatura – que estão circunscritas na Lei 10.639/03 – e que considere as demais áreas do saber, como a Geografia. Nesse sentido, a efetivação da mencionada Lei configura-se como uma ferramenta importante ao trabalhar os conteúdos da história e da cultura afro-brasileira, possibilitando à escola romper com construções ideológicas e estruturantes das relações sociais brasileiras e apontando, ainda, as contradições abertas no processo de formação socioespacial deste país.

Factors influencing caregiver attrition in a US home visiting programme
Authors: Crouch Elizabeth , Nelson Dan , Radcliff Elizabeth , Workman Lauren , Browder Jennifer , McClam Maria
Published: February 2024

The Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting programme (MIECHV) has proven to be effective for at-risk mothers and children; yet little is known about caregivers who leave before programme completion. Examining the current prevalence of home visiting programme caregiver attrition would help inform initiatives to address disparities in maternal and child health. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using the South Carolina MIECHV 2010–2020 data. The results showed that around one fifth (20.9%) of caregivers aged 18–19 years left their respective home visiting programmes between 3 and 6 months (p<0.01). Length of enrolment differed significantly by caregiver age, ethnicity, poverty level and household size. Caregivers who identified as more than one ethnicity had the highest rate of leaving the programme before 6 months. Nearly two thirds (65.3%) of caregivers with a household size of one left the home visiting programme before 6 months. The findings from this study may be informative for the continued development and support of caregivers after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Electronic Structure of Li, Be, and Al Ultrathin Coverings on the Si(100) Surface
Authors: Zavodinsky V. G. , Gorkusha O. A.
Published: February 2024

Within the framework of density functional theory and the pseudopotential method, calculations of the density of electronic states of the system “Si(100) substrate plus disordered two-dimensional metal layers (Li, Be or Al)” with a thickness of one to four single-atomic layers were carried out during growth at 0°K.

It is shown that the electronic structure of the first single-atomic layers of these metals on Si(100) has band gaps. The maximum band gap was found in the Be-Si system (1.03 eV for a single-atomic layer). In this system, the band gap disappears when four single-atomic layers are deposited. In the Li-Si system (0.98 eV for a single-atomic layer) it disappears for two single-atomic layers. In the Al-Si–system (0.50 eV with four single-atomic layers), the band gap disappears for three single-atomic layers. This behavior of the band gap can be explained by the passivation of the substrate surface states and the peculiarities of the electronic structure of the adsorbed metals.
Shifting Modes of Labor Regulation in Global Supply Chains
Authors: Kuruvilla Sarosh
Published: February 2024

executive summary: This essay outlines the changing modes of regulation of labor conditions in global apparel supply chains, which are mostly concentrated in Asia; assesses the effectiveness of 25 years of private voluntary regulation by global firms; and examines critically the implications of new European regulation now mandating what was previously a voluntary corporate activity. main argumentAsia is the global center of apparel production, with Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Vietnam all being major exporters. Since the 1990s, activist pressure in developed country markets has forced global apparel and footwear companies to adopt voluntary methods to ensure that their products are not made under sweatshop conditions. Companies developed codes of conduct for the first-tier factories in their supply chains and found ways to audit whether supplier factories were in compliance. However, this voluntary private-regulation model has not been adequate to alleviate labor and workplace concerns in global apparel supply chains. A shift from private regulation to public regulation—the beginning of which may be currently underway in the European Union with the recent introduction of mandatory due diligence legislation—may prove to be a more effective means of bettering labor rights and conditions. policy implications• If the recent EU legislation allows global companies to be legally liable for violations of mandatory due diligence requirements regarding labor rights and conditions in supply chains, a sea change in worker rights and labor practices could occur. • The new legislation would require global companies to adopt more responsible purchasing practices so that their practices are not responsible for labor violations. • The EU legislation could have an impact on sourcing locations, as companies compete for locations that are more likely to provide institutional environments with lower risk of violations. Global suppliers would have a greater incentive to take the high road in terms of employment practices to obtain more business from European buyers. National governments in apparel-exporting countries may be motivated to improve enforcement of labor regulations.
The Poet Who Challenged the Shogun: Asukai Masayo and Shinshoku Kokin Wakashū
Authors: Citko-Duplantis Małgorzata Karolina
Published: February 2024

Abstract: During Japan's late medieval era, the Ashikaga shoguns wished to merge the imperial and warrior governments and establish a feudal monarchy. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori made considerable efforts to acquire cultural capital and start a new imperial dynasty. He understood the symbolic importance of ancient traditions for the realization of his ambitions. One gesture aimed at acquiring cultural authority was his initiation and sponsorship of a literary project known today as the last imperial anthology of waka, Shinshoku kokin wakashū . The collection reveals that its compiler, Asukai Masayo, challenged the shogun with an agenda that undermined Yoshinori's authority.
A Hospital of Ritual Healing: Creativity, Empowerment, and Discipleship
Authors: Hạnh Mai Thi
Published: February 2024

Abstract: This paper features a case study of the rituals of a Mường shaman (known as a thầy Mo or ông Mo) practicing in a community of over 2,000 followers. This Mo master has combined the religious rituals of his ethnic group with those related to the Mother Goddess Religion of the Việt people. This study involves intensive interviews and participant observation in Mường communities in Hòa Bình province. The results demonstrate that the Mường shaman has engaged in a complex process of synthesis, smoothly integrating ritual practices and ontologies derived from the religious system of the majority Việt people into those of his own Mường community. Thus borrowings are a product of conscious efforts on the part of the Mường shaman. That is to say, the shaman took it upon himself to achieve this aggregation of spirits from the two systems of the pantheon to increase the efficacy of his religious rituals. In his words, he made a “general hospital” to cure all sorts of illnesses. This broadening of practices aims to meet a range of client demands and to achieve a distinction that will help the shaman attract more followers.

Although conventional fiber-cladding power strippers (CPSs) based on the techniques of high-index adhesive or corrosive liquids onto fiber inner cladding have been well developed, they are still facing challenges in special applications such as spaceborne or radiation-environment fiber lasers and amplifiers. In this paper, we propose and fabricate high-efficiency CPSs based on all-dielectric optical thin films. By numerically analyzing the propagation characteristics of cladding light at the thin film interface, we design a high-index Ta2O5 CPS and Al2O3 CPS with single- and cascaded-layer films coated onto the fiber inner cladding, respectively. In our experiment, the CPSs are successfully fabricated onto the inner-cladding surface of 10/125 double-clad fiber based on ion-beam-assisted deposition technology. The stripping efficiency for the 976 nm residual cladding power was measured up to 99.38%, and the stripping power of the fiber CPS without active cooling can be 24 W at least. Such CPS could be advantageous for applications in spaceborne-based fiber lasers or amplifiers (e.g., gravitational wave detection, spaceborne lidar).

Published: February 2024

An optimized polymer-based
fiber cladding mode stripper (CMS) is presented experimentally. A
unique partial fiber stripping method is introduced in CMS fabrication
to enable distributed power extraction and temperature along the
length of the CMS. The designed CMS based on a 400 µm double-clad
fiber (DCF) extracts 300 W of inner cladding power, with an
attenuation coefficient of 18.8 dB along with a temperature gradient
of 0.17°C/watt. The fabricated CMS is used to develop an all-fiber
150 W thulium fiber laser at 1.94 µm.
Tracking bandwidth limitations in strong optical-turbulence conditions
Authors: Kalensky Matthew , Getts Darren , Spencer Mark
Published: February 2024

We derive a modified fundamental tracking frequency, which is applicable for beam-control systems that do not employ adaptive-optics compensation. Specifically, we show that when higher-order phase aberrations are appreciably present (when D/r0>4, where D is the aperture diameter and r0 is the Fried parameter), there are diminishing returns on tracking faster than the modified fundamental tracking frequency. This conclusion results from beam spreading being the dominate driver for decreased system performance, as opposed to beam jitter.
Dielectric metasurface evolution from bulk to monolayer by strong coupling of quasi-BICs for second harmonic boosting

Published: February 2024

2D materials are promising candidates as nonlinear optical components for on-chip devices due to their ultrathin structure. In general, their nonlinear optical responses are inherently weak due to the short interaction thickness with light. Recently, there has been great interest in using quasi-bound states in the continuum (q-BICs) of dielectric metasurfaces, which are able to achieve remarkable optical near-field enhancement for elevating the second harmonic generation (SHG) emission from 2D materials. However, most studies focus on the design of combining bulk dielectric metasurfaces with unpatterned 2D materials, which suffer considerable radiation loss and limit near-field enhancement by high-quality q-BIC resonances. Here, we investigate the dielectric metasurface evolution from bulk silicon to monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and discover the critical role of meta-atom thickness design on enhancing near-field effects of two q-BIC modes. We further introduce the strong-coupling of the two q-BIC modes by oblique incidence manipulation, and enhance the localized optical field on monolayer MoS2 dramatically. In the ultraviolet and visible regions, the MoS2 SHG enhancement factor of our design is 105 times higher than that of conventional bulk metasurfaces, leading to an extremely high nonlinear conversion efficiency of 5.8%. Our research will provide an important theoretical guide for the design of high-performance nonlinear devices based on 2D materials.

Expanding the optical communication band is one of the most effective methods of overcoming the nonlinear Shannon capacity limit of single fiber. In this study, GeSn resonance cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetectors (PDs) with an active layer Sn component of 9%–10.8% were designed and fabricated on an SOI substrate. The GeSn RCE PDs present a responsivity of 0.49 A/W at 2 μm and a 3-dB bandwidth of approximately 40 GHz at 2 μm. Consequently, Si-based 2 μm band optical communication with a transmission rate of 50 Gbps was demonstrated by using a GeSn RCE detector. This work demonstrates the considerable potential of the Si-based 2 μm band photonics in future high-speed and high-capacity optical communication.

Most low- and middle-income countries, including Bangladesh, are currently undergoing epidemiologic and demographic transitions with an increasing burden of hypertension, diabetes, and overweight/obesity. Inadequate physical activity is a risk factor for these conditions and work-related activities contribute to most of the physical activities in Bangladesh. We investigated the association of the sedentary nature of occupation with hypertension, diabetes, and overweight/obesity in Bangladesh. If a person’s systolic/diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose concentration, and body mass index were ≥130/80 mmHg, ≥7 mmol/l, and ≥23 kg/m2, respectively, they were classified as hypertensive, diabetic, and overweight/obese. The nature of occupation/work was classified into three types: non-sedentary workers (NSW), sedentary workers (SW), and non-workers (NW). After describing the sample according to exposure and outcomes, we performed simple and multivariable logistic regression to investigate the association. Among 10900 participants (60.7% females, mean age: 40.0 years), about 43.2%, 13.2%, and 42.8% were NSW, SW, and NW, respectively. NSW, SW, NW, and overall people, respectively, had 6.7%, 14.5%, 11.7%, and 9.9% prevalence rates for diabetes; 18.0%, 32.9%, 28.3%, and 24.4% prevalence rates for overweight/obesity; and 18.0%, 32.9%, 38.3%, and 28.0% prevalence rate for hypertension. SW had higher odds of diabetes (AOR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.15–1.81), overweight/obesity (AOR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.52–2.21), and hypertension (AOR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.21–1.77) than NSW. NW had higher odds of diabetes (AOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.19–1.71) or hypertension (AOR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.22–1.56) but not higher odds of overweight/obesity (AOR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.98–1.27) than NSW. We found higher prevalence and odds of the studied conditions among SW than NSW. Workplace physical activity programs may improve the physical activity and health of SW.
