FEM ve LEM yöntemleri ile Ziğ (Azerbaycan, Bakü) heyelan sahasının incelenmesi
Authors: Karimov Elvin
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada, limit denge (LEM) ve sonlu elemanlar yöntemleri (FEM) kullanılarak Azerbaycan'ın Başkenti Bakü'de Zığ heyelan sahasının güvenlik faktörünü ve kritik kayma yüzeyini belirlemek için kullanılan yöntemlerin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada incelenen heyelan, RocScience tarafından geliştirilen sonlu elemanlar (FEM) tabanlı Phase2 v8.005 ve limit denge (LEM) tabanlı Slide v 6.0 ve yazılımı kullanılarak 2 boyutlu incelenmiştir. Modellerde yenilme ölçütü olarak Mohr-Coulomb kriteri kabul edilmiş, doruk ve kalıcı parametrelerle kullanılmıştır. LEM analizlerinde, Slide 2D yazılımı kullanılarak yapılan statik ve sismik koşullardaki analizlerde, doruk parametrelerle bulunan güvenlik faktörü statik koşullar için 1.331, sismik koşullarda ise 0.981 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kalıcı parametrelerle yapılan analizlerde ise güvenlik faktörü statik koşullar için 0.97, sismik koşullarda ise 0.71 olarak belirlenmiştir. FEM analizlerinde ise Phase2 yazılımı kullanılarak yapılan statik ve sismik koşullardaki analizlerde, doruk ve kalıcı parametrelerle hesaplanan güvenlik faktörleri sırasıyla 0.97 ve 0.70 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, her iki yöntemin de farklı koşullar altında benzer sonuçlar verdiğini göstermiştir. Slide 2D yazılımında doruk parametrelerle yapılan analizlerde bulunan kayma düzlemi, inklinometre ölçümleri ile uyumlu olup, FEM ile bulunan kayma düzlemi ise daha derin seviyelerde yer almıştır. Bu durum, FEM'in daha detaylı ve derinlemesine analiz yapabilme yeteneğini göstermektedir. Zığ bölgesindeki heyelan riskinin yüksek olduğunu ve doygun zemin koşullarının güvenlik faktörlerini olumsuz etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Arazide bulunan bireysel bahçe alanlarının düzensiz sulanması ve kanalizasyon sisteminden kaynaklı kaçakların olması, ek olarak yağışın yeraltı su tablasını yükselterek zeminlerin birim ağırlıklarını artırması, kayma mukavemetini azaltmaktadır. Bu nedenle, kalıcı parametrelerle yapılan analiz sonuçları, FEM ve LEM yöntemleri ile bulunan güvenlik faktörlerinin gerçeği yansıttığını göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, bölgedeki heyelan riskinin azaltılması için düzenli izleme, yeraltı su seviyesinin kontrolü ve uygun mühendislik çözümlerinin uygulanması gerekmektedir.

Guava fruit classification system design with convolutional neural networks
Authors: Toptaş Buket , Altun Güven Sara
Published: December 2024

For the rapid and precise advancement of agriculture, artificial intelligence applications are of significant importance. Processes such as disease detection in the agricultural field, identification of soil types, and classification of plants and fruits are currently performed manually. Artificial intelligence enables the automation of these processes, leading to cost reduction and the minimization of human errors. In this study, a system for classifying the species of Guava fruit has been proposed. The proposed system is designed using four pre-trained convolutional neural networks. The convolutional neural networks used are GoogLeNet, Vgg19, ResNet50, and DenseNet201 architectures. The Guava fruit dataset was classified by both k-fold-stratified and an 80:20 split. All experimental studies were evaluated using six different performance metrics. The best result was achieved with the DenseNet201 architecture in the proposed method. The performance results for the DenseNet201 architecture in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, MCC, and kappa are as follows: accuracy - 0.9658, sensitivity - 0.9677, specificity - 0.9954, F1-score - 0.9681, MCC - 0.9640, and Kappa - 0.8268.
POLISH AND UKRAINIAN TRANSLATIONS OF THE ROMAN MISSAL
Authors:   Catholic Academy in Warsaw, Collegium Bobolanum, Warszawa, Poland, Blaza Marek
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to analyze the translation of the Roman Canon of the Missal of St. Paul VI into Polish and Ukrainian. This analysis aims to show to what extent both of these translations faithfully reflect the Latin text of the Missal of St. Paul VI, and to what extent they introduce some original innovations. The author provides the assessment of these innovations or free translation and elucidates to what extent it is justified or accurate. In this analysis, only the content of the Roman Canon itself is examined, and not the rubrics of the Mass, i.e. didascalia.

Based on this analysis, it can be clearly seen that the Ukrainian translation is at the same time much more faithful to the Latin text of the Roman Canon than the Polish one. On the other hand, it is also more conservative. Even if it is not always literal, it is still very close to the original text. The minor differences between the Ukrainian translation and the Latin text do not go beyond replacing the original words with synonyms. The Polish translation, on the other hand, is more free, creative and imaginative. Synonyms are often used or the content of the prayers themselves has been modified.

This may indicate that in Poland, the Roman Catholic Church, as a major religious institution, uses the scientific and creative resources of Polish theologians and liturgists. For example, the prayer Quam oblationem has been very radically modified. Even the mention of the Holy Spirit was added to it, which is not confirmed by research on the Roman Canon. This addition was justified in the Polish translation on ecumenical grounds and was treated as a nod to the tradition of the Eastern Churches, especially the Orthodox Church. Such interference in the content of Quam oblationem may raise justified doubts among Roman Catholic theologians and liturgists.

This testifies to the fact that in Poland the Roman Catholic Church, as the majority, benefits from the scientific and creative resources of indigenous theologians and liturgists. In perspective, such a comparison of Ukrainian and Polish translations of liturgical texts should be carried out during the juxtaposition not only linguistically. but also stylistically.
A Randomized Crossover Pilot Trial on the Influence of a Daily Mindfulness Yoga Practice on Menstrual Cycle Symptoms, Measures of Well-Being, and Training Perception in Athletic Women
Authors: SantaBarbara Kimberly L. , Helms Eric R. , Stewart Tom I. , Armour Mike J. , Harris Nigel K.
Published: December 2024

The menstrual cycle (MC) is a series of hormonal fluctuations that occur approximately every 22–35 days in reproductive-age females, often resulting in a range of physical and psychological symptoms at different points of the cycle. MC symptoms range from mild discomfort to debilitating effects. One intervention that may be able to address these symptoms is yoga, a mind-body practice that incorporates physical postures with breathwork to foster a mindful connection to the body. In the present randomized crossover trial, participants were enrolled for three consecutive MCs and completed a 10-minute daily yoga protocol, which included ten different yoga poses, for one full MC while answering daily questions about MC symptoms, well-being, and training performance; they answered the same questions for the other cycles without the yoga intervention. Twenty women who participated in resistance training sports were recruited. A series of generalized linear mixed models were used to determine whether the association between each outcome variable and current day of the MC varied by cycle type (intervention cycle or control cycle). There was a statistically significant Day × Cycle interaction for bloating, low-back pain, menstrual cramps, and stress, indicating a lower probability of experiencing these symptoms across the MC during the intervention than the control cycle. Daily yoga was also significantly associated with changes in perceived athletic performance across the MC, as shown in the linear mixed-model figures. A 10-minute daily yoga practice was significantly associated with changes in MC symptoms and has the potential to mitigate some MC symptoms and stress perception in an athletic cohort. Furthermore, daily yoga was significantly associated with changes in perceived performance and may stabilize perceived performance metrics across the MC.

Authors: Egorova Iana A. , Olesov Egor E. , Andreeva Irina L. , Martynov Dmitrii V. , Grishkov Maxim S.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Relevant data on the need for dental treatment, including differentiated parameters of treatment needs in various groups of patients enrolled in care, are essential for the justification of compulsory health insurance financing and adequate staffing of the dental service.
AIM: To compare the need for dental treatment in personnel of the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant working in hazardous conditions, depending on the presence or absence of previous full mouth debridement.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A clinical and X-ray examination of the teeth and periodontal tissue was performed in two groups of personnel of the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant working in hazardous conditions. One year prior to the examination, subjects in the first group voluntarily declined the proposed full mouth debridement, while subjects in the second group received therapeutic and surgical debridement according to the compulsory health insurance plan.
RESULTS: The need for treatment of dental caries and its complications decreased by 27.8% following full mouth debridement. In particular, the need for single and double dental filling decreased by 46.0% and 53.5%, respectively; the need for primary and revision root canal therapy decreased by 48.0% and 43.3%, respectively; and the need for tooth extraction decreased by 81.1%. The need for flap surgery and periodontal pocket curettage decreased by 32.8% and 38.8%, respectively, while the requirement for calculus removal and local drug therapy increased by 7.1%.
CONCLUSION: Personnel of the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant working in hazardous conditions showed a high need for treatment of dental caries and periodontal diseases. There was a significant decrease in the need for dental filling, root canal therapy, and tooth extraction in subjects with previous full mouth debridement, with a shift toward less invasive periodontal disease treatment options. Specific data on dental treatment needs in personnel working in hazardous conditions can be used for financial planning and staffing of the dental service.

Published: December 2024

Purpose of the study: to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and labyrinthine fistulas (FL). Methods. 62 patients with CHSO complicated by FL were operated on. The examination included an otorhinolaryngological examination with otomicroscopy, CT of the temporal bones, pure tone threshold audiometry, vestibulometry using a video impulse test and a dizziness rating scale questionnaire. The studies were evaluated over time on the 3rd day, 1 and 6 months after surgery. To close the FL, high mastoidoplasty (in 8 patients), multilayer plastic surgery (in 19), lumen filling (in 25) and selective laser destruction of the labyrinth (in 10) were performed. Intraoperatively, with complete erosion in 31 patients, a dexamethasone solution was injected into the lumen of the FL and/or vestibule, and in the postoperative setting, systemic hormonal therapy was prescribed, and in 6 cases it was not administered.
Results. In the early postoperative period, 41 patients complained of dizziness, in the long-term ( 2 years) - 6, whereas before surgery - 25 (40.3%). After surgery, the difference between bone conduction (BC) thresholds did not exceed 10 dB, regardless of the FL repair technique. Deafness occurred in 2 (3%) cases with multiple FL. Based on the study, the principles of “safe” FL surgery in patients with CHSO and indications for performing techniques for closing the defect in the bone wall of the semicircular canal were developed.
Conclusion. In patients with CSOM with cholesteatoma complicated by FL, in 46.7% of cases there are no vestibular manifestations. The occurrence of postoperative cochleovestibular disorders (CVD) in these patients largely depends on preoperative diagnosis, the correct choice of surgical tactics and the method of closing the FL. The principles of safe FL surgery with various options for their plastic surgery and the intra- and postoperative use of hormonal therapy make it possible to minimize the risks of CVD.

Ecos e ruídos de uma máquina preguiçosa: Entre a obra aberta e os limites da interpretação
Authors: Scarabelot Campos de Pieri Leandro Henrique
Published: December 2024

Para Umberto Eco todo texto funciona como uma espécie de “máquina preguiçosa” porquanto não pode dizer tudo, e, portanto, exige de seus leitores uma tarefa cooperativa. Ainda segundo o autor, quase que paradoxalmente, uma obra de arte é sempre “aberta” — no sentido de que possibilita se não infinitas, pelo menos inúmeras interpretações — mas também é “fechada” — pois haveriam limites para as interpretações que dela surgem —, afinal, em suas palavras, “dizer que um texto é potencialmente sem fim não significa que todo ato de interpretação possa ter um final feliz.” Ao refletir sobre esta dinâmica entre aberto-e-fechado, Eco segue em busca daquilo que denomina de intentio operis, uma espécie de síntese dialética entre a intentio auctoris e a intentio lectoris. Em confluência com a presente edição, o objetivo deste artigo será retomar/revitalizar algumas das noções que permeiam sua obra, tais como “abertura”, “intentio operis”, “Autor e Leitor-modelo”, tendo em vista que elas fomentam instigantes discussões que concernem tanto à teoria e à crítica literária como também à estética e à filosofia da arte, além de nos auxiliarem tanto na discussão sobre a arte contemporânea.
Cara e Máscara, Corpo e Escritura: marcas em Eliane Potiguara
Authors: Corrêa Adriana De Oliveira Alves
Published: December 2024

A construção cultural e identitária esfacelada da escritora Eliane Potiguara pode ser entendida como fruto da problemática do contato das nações indígenas com os demais membros da sociedade brasileira. Por isso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as relações entre as assimetrias da autoafirmação e da condição étnica e feminina da autora – que está inserida no limiar entre culturas indígenas e ocidentais – com o seu fazer literário fragmentado na obra Metade Cara, Metade Máscara (2004). Antes da análise proposta, expusemos breves considerações sobre as especificidades da escritora indígena dentro do contexto da colonização que atingiu o Brasil e toda a América Latina. Além disso, discutimos, brevemente, a respeito das questões de violência relacionadas ao corpo feminino indígena e ao território. Com isso, compreendemos que é possível a aproximação das particularidades que envolvem a constituição da identidade indígena, feminina e culturalmente múltipla da autora com o seu processo de criação literária.

As Siluae de Estácio e o desenvolvimento do gênero lírico na Antiguidade
Authors: Carvalho Luiza Helena Rodrigues de Abreu , Baptista Natan Henrique Taveira
Published: December 2024

O artigo demonstra a participação das Siluae de Estácio no cânone lírico, de onde são comumente excluídas. Para tal, expusemos o desenvolvimento e modificações do gênero lírico desde a Grécia arcaica até a sua chegada na Roma imperial. Feito isso, identificamos a silva como uma prática poética do gênero epidítico, na vertente do elogio, utilizando para tal as prescrições dos manuais retórico antigos - como a Retórica de Aristóteles, a Rhetorica ad Herennium, a Institutio oratoria de Quintiliano e o Sobre o epidítico de Menandro Retor. Finalmente, exemplificamos as características encomiásticas nas Siluae de Estácio, utilizando-nos do epidítico retórico, concluindo que o louvor de ocasião, característica da lírica antiga, funcionava como pretexto na composição do encômio aos destinatários em cada poema.
O juiz e o seu lugar: impasses na definição de crítica moderna na Querelle sur Homère
Authors: Santana Thiago
Published: December 2024

Questionar-se a respeito da definição de crítica moderna, bem como da ocasião de seu surgimento, levanta problemas de ordem histórica e conceitual relacionados ao sentido atribuído a cada um dos dois termos desde há, pelo menos, três séculos. A Querelle des Anciens et Modernes e, mais especificamente, seu desdobramento na Querelle sur Homère, constituem lugares privilegiados para esse tipo de questionamento por sistematizarem posições contrastantes na avaliação da tradição, além de deixarem entrever os problemas na própria atividade crítica. Este estudo buscará examinar as possibilidades de periodização da modernidade crítica a partir dessas polêmicas e as formas através das quais tais controvérsias puderam apresentar-se de maneiras tão discrepantes pelos especialistas, a depender do olhar lançado a elas. O objetivo geral será, portanto, revisar o lugar da Querelle na historiografia da crítica a partir dessa diferença de perspectivas, a saber: a controvérsia segundo os fundamentos críticos, isto é, a doutrina classicista, ou segundo a constituição de uma esfera pública literária moderna.
Se uma voz em meio a tantas
Authors: Prestes de Oliveira Juliana , Jacobsen de Oliveira Amanda Laís , Cayan Teixeira Dutra Nícollas
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho visa pensar a obra Se um viajante numa noite de inverno (1979), do escritor Ítalo Calvino, sob o viés da percepção de uma voz autoral e da intenção do autor. Além disso, buscamos compreender a relação construída, ao longo do texto entre autor, leitor e texto, atentando para o jogo literário de Calvino. Como fonte teórica utilizamos os autores que buscaram desenvolver pensamentos acerca do autor e presença de sua voz no texto narrativo, bem como as perspectivas sobre leitor e autor modelos: Barthes (2004), Wimsatt e Beardslaey (2002) e Focault (2009). Ao nos depararmos com as personagens principais, enredo desta obra e discussões por ela evocadas, entendemos a intenção do autor como algo pouco palpável, difícil de descrever e de encontrar com precisão no texto. Mesmo o autor dizendo o porquê da obra, os motivos da escrita, não temos certeza se é verdadeiro ou não o que afirma. O revelado pelo texto pode não ser o mesmo afirmado pelo autor quando diz sua intenção ao escrevê-lo, ou ainda, até o próprio autor pode não saber, de modo objetivo, qual é sua intenção.
As redes tentaculares de Haroldo de Campos
Authors: Bomfim Monalisa Medrado
Published: December 2024

Poeta e advogado, Haroldo de Campos gere a legitimidade do seu discurso com um gesto ativo e dominante, elevando o valor literário da sua criação por meio do diálogo com escritores já canonizados e da seleção estratégica dos suportes de inscrição. Tendo isso em mente, o presente trabalho se propôs a discutir como o processo de legitimação haroldiana se relacionou com a materialidade do suporte no caso da pós-utopia. Para isso, os dois movimentos que caracterizam a produção de Campos, o concretismo e a pós-utopia, foram circunscritos e comparados em relação à inscrição material, à circulação social e à atribuição de valor literário. A partir dessas investigaçõesfoi possível compreender as dificuldades que se impõem no processo de legitimação da pós-utopia. Por fim, trazemos os poemas o. p. octogenário e dialética do agora – 1, presentes no livro Crisantempo: no espaço curvo nasce um, para ilustrar a importância da produção poética no movimento tentacular de legitimação de Haroldo de Campos.

Reflections on Bad Indians and Archives

This essay explores Deborah Miranda's use of archival sources for her book Bad Indians. In it, I address three points: the varied sources Miranda uses, how Miranda uses what Saidiya Hartman call critical fabulation to work with these materials, and how her work shows us that we should always use an "always assumed" approach to absences in the archive, we should always assume the presence of indigenous people even when the colonial archive omits these presences.

Teatro épico: vivencia y emancipación
Authors: Otavo Dionisio Nicolás
Published: December 2024

From the Aristotelian perspective, theater is conceived as an art that enables the emotional catharsis of the viewer, through their identification with the dramatic characters and the culmination in an emotional climax. On the other hand, Bertolt Brecht proposes à radical reconfiguration of the nature of theater, advocating for a form that, instead of seeking emotional empathy, promotes critical reflection in the viewer through distancing. This Brechtian approach challenges the traditional notion of Aristotelian catharsis, privileging wonder and reflexive consciousness over emotional purging. Such a dichotomy between both perspectives reflects a paradigmatic change in the understanding and function of theater in modern society.
Treatment of a Root Cyst of the Maxilla with Endodontic Microsurgery and Grafting Using Biphasic Calcium Sulfate Hardening Cement: A Case Study
Authors: Dudek Damian , Warmusz Oliwia , Gregori Kurtzman , Warmusz Edyta
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Many lesions of endodontic origin require surgical management, often due to the possible diagnosis of odontogenic cysts and tumors in the jaw bones. A root cyst is a benign inflammatory lesion, typically presenting as either a painful or painless, slow-growing, expansile mass that appears well-demarcated with an osteosclerotic shell on radiographic imaging. After treatment, large osseous defects often remain, and the use of a graft to fill the void can accelerate healing and prevent complications from failure to fill by the host tissue.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old female patient with multiple chronic cardiac conditions underwent endodontic microsurgery and bone grafting to treat a root cyst in the anterior right maxilla. The cyst, which caused damage to both cortical plates, was treated in a single step. A retrograde fill of the apex was performed, followed by grafting with biphasic calcium sulfate (Bond Apatite®) to regenerate the osseous defect.
Clinical Discussion: Histologically, the root cyst consisted of multilayered epithelium and connective tissue containing areas rich in inflammatory cells with some fibrotic fragments. Surgical removal of the cyst, followed by curettage of the surrounding bone and defect grafting, provided predictable healing and satisfactory clinical results. The use of biphasic calcium sulfate allowed for tenting of the surgical area without the need for a membrane, simplifying the procedure and reducing the risk of soft tissue ingrowth during healing. The material gradually converted to host bone over a period of 3 to 6 months.
Conclusion: This case, along with supporting literature, suggests that biphasic calcium sulfate is an effective graft material for repairing osseous defects following the removal of cysts and tumors in the jaw. Its use eliminates the need for resorbable membranes, simplifying procedures and reducing costs without compromising clinical outcomes.

Objective: To assess the impact of the water drinking test (WDT) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in advanced-terminal stage glaucoma patients, treated with maximal topical hypotensive therapy.

Method: This retrospective clinical study included patients with advanced or end-stage open-angle glaucoma, with or without prior glaucoma surgery and medication. Participants underwent the WDT, where they consumed 1 liter of water over 5 minutes. IOP was measured at baseline, and then at 15-, 30-, and 45-minutes post-administration.

Results: The IOP measurements (mean ± standard deviation) were as follows:baseline: 12.3 ± 2.1 mmHg; at minute 15: 14.8 ± 3.1 mmHg; at minute 30: 16.4 ± 3.3 mmHg and at minute 45: 14.7 ± 2.6 mmHg. A significant increase in IOP was observed at minute 30 compared to baseline (p = 0.01).

Conclusion: Ingesting 1000 ml of water within 5 minutes raises IOP in patients with advanced or end-stage glaucoma and maximal topical hypotensive therapy. Further research is needed to explore the relevance of these findings in medical scenarios requiring significant fluid intake, such as kidney-bladder, prostate, and gynecological ultrasounds.
An Illustrated Explanation of the Lower Limit of Cerebral Autoregulation and the Clinical Significance of Its Monitoring during Cardiac Surgery
Authors: Gavish Benjamin , Steppan Jochen
Published: December 2024

Autoregulation of cerebral blood flow is a vital function that guarantees that cerebral blood flow is being maintained over a wide range of blood pressure values. The matching between cerebral blood flow and the cerebral metabolic requirements involves vasodilation/constriction of the cerebral arterioles in response to decrease/increase of the cerebral perfusion pressure, respectively. The lower limit of cerebral autoregulation is defined as the mean arterial pressure below which cerebral blood flow becomes pressure passive. Keeping blood pressure within the cerebral autoregulatory range for patients undergoing cardiac surgery has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes. The objective of this article is to summarize the results of recent studies that may enable us to estimate the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation to reduce the risk of cerebral hypoperfusion.

Published: December 2024

Background: Ignoring the cultural factors that can affect performance on cognitive tests may result in use of tests that have not been validated for that group. One example is testing of Haitian Creole speaking adults who are increasingly affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, for whom few tests have been validated.

Aims: Our purpose is to describe differences in timed test performance between Haitian Creole and English-speaking participants and explore factors that may account for any differences in results found.

Methods: Data was obtained from an ongoing longitudinal driving and cognition study “In Vehicle Sensors to Detect Cognitive Change in Older Drivers.” Two groups consisting of 12 Creole speaking and 12 English speaking older adults were matched by age and gender. Test scores were selected from the battery of tests administered in the parent study. The measures were translated by two bilingual Creole-English researchers. Group performance on five timed cognitive tests commonly used in research was compared.

Results: The English-speaking group’s mean scores were significantly higher than the Creole speaking group on the MoCA and the timed Animal category fluency, letter P fluency, Stroop Color Test, and Trail Making Test A and B. The most significant effects were noted in Letter P fluency, Trail Making Test A and B and Animal category fluency where the differences had large effect sizes. However, the Creole speaking group had higher mean scores than the English-Speaking group on the Stroop Color Word Test, although the difference was not statistically significant. It was not feasible to match education levels due to the differences in years of education across the groups. These results highlight the significant role of culture and linguistic context in cognitive task performance.

Conclusions: The results suggest performance in cognitive testing among non-English speaking groups may be impacted by cultural factors related to time perception and the testing approach employed, leading to misinterpretation and misdiagnosis. Future studies should explore the fairness of various cognitive testing approaches with Haitian older adults and other societies with cultures and educational approaches different from those of Western cultures.
Reviewing the possible cure of drug-resistant hematologic malignancies by innovative cell-mediated immunotherapy using intentionally mismatched pre-activated donor lymphocytes
Authors: Slavin Shimon
Published: December 2024

Preliminary data summarized in the present article provides support to a new treatment strategy based on cell-mediated immunotherapy of patients with multi-drug-resistant hematologic malignancies, based on a 2-step cell-mediated immunotherapy approach. First, attempting to induce a stage of minimal residual disease or minimizing tumor burden by conventional modalities, which can usually be accomplished at an early stage of the disease. Next, apply innovative cell-mediated immunotherapy by mismatched pre-activated killer cells following mild immunosuppressive conditioning. Out of a total of 33 patients with different drug-resistant hematologic malignancies, 23 accomplished complete remission and 6 observed for more than 5 years with no further treatment are probably cured. Using pre-activated mismatched killer cells was based on short-term circulation of multi-potent cancer killer cells including a mixture of T, NK & NKT cells, could result in most effective cytoreduction of all drug-resistant malignant cells, possibly even accomplishing cure, with no need for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, thus avoiding the hazardous risks of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease. Our working hypothesis supported by pre-clinical and preliminary clinical investigations confirms the feasibility to cure patients with different hematologic malignancies considered otherwise incurable using mismatched pre-activated killer cells following mild immunosuppressive conditioning. Our suggestion that our innovative cell-mediated immunotherapy could eliminate fully resistant malignant cells in patients with a broad range of otherwise incurable hematologic malignancies needs to be confirmed by prospective randomized clinical trials.
The Relationship between Migraine and Cognition: A Narrative Review in Indian Context
Authors: Choudhary Arbind
Published: December 2024

In the Indian context, migraines are prevalent and are often associated with cognitive deficiencies, including issues with memory, attention, and executive functioning. This narrative review examines the significant cognitive effects of migraines. As a neuro-inflammatory disorder, migraines can greatly impact daily functioning, productivity, and overall quality of life, particularly among women and young adults. The manuscript presents key studies indicating that individuals with migraines experience impairments in executive function, processing speed, and visual-spatial memory. These impairments tend to correlate with the frequency and intensity of headaches. Neuroimaging studies have revealed cortical thinning and white matter abnormalities in patients suffering from chronic migraines, which may contribute to cognitive decline. Furthermore, the cognitive effects of migraines may be exacerbated by specific socioeconomic challenges in India, such as unequal access to healthcare and education, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging. The review also identifies various environmental and cultural triggers for migraines in India, including stress and dietary factors, which may differ from those in other regions. These findings underscore the importance of adapting existing research and treatment approaches—often based on studies conducted in other countries—to the unique context of India. The lack of large-scale, longitudinal studies and neuroimaging data specific to the Indian population highlights critical research gaps that need to be addressed to understand the long-term cognitive consequences of migraines in this demographic. The review advocates for comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and culturally sensitive treatments tailored to the Indian population. By addressing these gaps, we can develop customized healthcare interventions that offer hope for improving both the quality of life and cognitive health of migraine sufferers in India.

The development of masticatory biomechanics from the prenatal to prepubertal period
Authors: Shukla Balraj , Panda Anup
Published: December 2024

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Mastication is coordinated motor skill that is most effective through synchronized crosstalk between the teeth, bone and muscles. A combination of molecular signaling and central pattern generators govern the development and physiology of mastication. As primates, humans have evolved with the changing dietary shifts for their survival. The adaptive mechanisms in the involved structures allows us to puncture, pierce, cut, crush, grind, nip, incise, scrap, and strip different dietary textures.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review is to understand the developmental dynamics and rhythmogenesis of mastication in children from the point of view of myology, odontology, and evolutionary perspective. 
RELEVANCE: This chronological review helps in understanding how the multi-faceted nature of the masticatory apparatus comes into being from the prenatal to the prepubertal period. It enables pediatricians and pediatric dental surgeons to understand the oro-motor development while intervening with any treatment involving muscle tonicity of the masticatory organ.

Haunting Emotions: Visualizing Hamlet's Melancholy for Students in Two Recent Graphic Novel Adaptations
Authors: Gerzic Marina , Balfour Helen
Published: December 2024

The study of emotion and Shakespeare and, in particular, emotion and Hamlet, is well established. Shakespeare's work enables us to experience emotions and their transformations as we try to understand them. From the opening of the play, Hamlet's emotions are all too clearly present; Shakespeare defines him as a passionate and emotional man plagued by melancholy. How is this human emotion interpreted and visualized by authors attempting to adapt Hamlet in the twenty-first century? In recent years, visual literacy has become a prominent aspect of classroom learning. In a changing, more visually dependent world, students need to learn how to read the visual as well as the textual. The medium of graphic storytelling can help students learn how to do this. This paper will examine two recent graphic novel versions of Shakespeare: Kill Shakespeare (2010-current), by Canadian writers Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery (alongside Andy Belanger as head-artist), and Australian author Nicki Greenberg's Hamlet (2010). Each of these graphic novels includes the character Hamlet as the protagonist, and each of these texts approaches adapting the melancholy Dane (and Shakespeare's "text") in very different ways. Through comparisons with Shakespeare's canonical play-text, including Shakespeare's incorporation of humoural ideas of melancholy, we will analyze how this aspect of Hamlet's emotions are visually interpreted and developed in these two new media adaptations. The essay concludes that these adaptations of Hamlet work well as a text for K-12 students because the emotions Hamlet experiences are presented in a relatable way. The texts help these students to understand the emotions, and so relate to a character whose complex personality may otherwise be lost in the difficulty of the original text.
