Kara, Connor, and Marcus, the central characters of , gain ontological status by breaking away from the typical. What is important to note here is how they acquire ontological status. They do not try to 'humanize' themselves in order to attain the same status as 'humans'. For example, while Bicentennial Man(1999) ends with the “humanization of the inhuman,” Detroit establishes its identity through the “inhumanity of the inhuman,” i.e., the “dehumanization of the defective.” For androids, the “defective” is the “inhumanity” of the defective. For the androids, the 'defective' is rather 'human' and therefore acts as a threat to the 'human', which presupposes an ontological difference. Therefore, the moment a human 'defect' takes on 'human-being', the android becomes a substitute for a human being, and the confrontation becomes even worse. However, it does not become 'non-human' as a result of human alienation, but when it becomes 'non-human', it acquires an ontological status as good as 'human' and can only become a 'free being'.
The origins of the recognition of the posthuman problem in  are rooted in the problem of racial or ethnic discrimination. The 'androids', which are placed as objects of discrimination and hatred, show a pattern of intensifying confrontation as they get closer to 'humans', which is similar to the position of marginalized minorities in mainstream culture. In other words, when a marginalized minority perfectly fulfills the tasks assigned to them by the mainstream culture, they become an intruder that threatens the mainstream culture.  offers a response to this situation. While showing the aspects of 'submission' in Kara, 'subordination' in Connor, and 'antagonism' in Marcus, it can be seen that their narratives acquire an ontological status equal to that of 'humans' when they establish their identity as 'defective goods', that is, when they realize 'becoming non-human'.  provides a glimpse into how the marginalized are viewed in mainstream culture.

Authors: Bernier Pascal , Desjardins Leandra , Charette Marie-Claude , Latour Marie-Paule , Bastien Marie-Pierre
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Pediatric hematological and oncological illnesses present many coping challenges. Mental health issues can arise during and after treatment, in both patients and their families. The current model of care does not always seem to meet the needs identified by some young patients. In Quebec, nurses are allowed to assess and care for patients experiencing physical and mental health difficulties (Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec, 2016). Therefore, a mental health nurse clinician (MHNC) with experience in pediatric hematology/oncology could provide care that is complementary to that offered by psychologists, social workers, and other psychosocial professionals in the pediatric hematology/oncology unit in order to meet any needs that remain unmet. The MHNC project has three stages: (1) role development, (2) role implementation, and (3) role assessment one year after implementation. In this first article, we explain how the MHNC role was developed. Methodology: We used the participatory, evidence-based, patient-focused process for advanced practice nursing (APN) role development, implementation, and evaluation (PEPPA Framework; Bryant-Lukosius & Dicenso, 2004) to develop this model. The first five steps in the PEPPA Framework were applied in the creation of the MHNC role to (1) select the target population, (2) identify the stakeholders to be involved, (3) ascertain needs, (4) determine and prioritize problems and set goals, and (5) define a new model of care. Results: After multiple meetings involving numerous health professionals and managers, the MHNC role was developed with a versatile, transdisciplinary perspective to address better the needs of young cancer patients (especially those in their teens) and their families. The role was developed around four main areas of practice: (1) interventions offered to patient-family, (2) interventions offered to health professionals, (3) psychiatric consultation-liaison, and (4) education and research. Conclusion: The next steps are to use a strategic plan to implement the role and then to evaluate the impact of the role one year after implementation.

Published: August 2024

Background: Developing drugs with higher efficacy and fewer side effects for psychological disorders has always been of interest. The rhizome of Polypodium vulgare L. (common polypody) has been used as a mood stabilizer in Persian Medicine (PM). Objectives: The present study evaluates the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of the hydroethanolic extract of common polypody rhizome (PEE) and the possible underlying mechanisms in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS). Methods: Sixty NMRI male mice were exposed to CRS and received either a vehicle, fluoxetine, or PEE (at doses of 250, 500, 1000, and 1500 mg.kg-1). The forced swim test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), open-field test (OFT), and elevated-plus maze (EPM) were conducted to evaluate depressive-like and anxiety-like behavior. Oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic markers, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), were measured in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HIP). Corticosterone levels were also assessed in serum samples. Results: Polypody rhizome increased the time spent in the central zone of the OFT, as well as the time spent and the number of entries into the open arms of the EPM, while it decreased the immobility time in the FST and TST. Administration of PEE caused a significant decline in serum levels of corticosterone, as well as tissue levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Additionally, it increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the PFC and HIP. Polypody rhizome also significantly restored total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and BDNF expression in the HIP. Moreover, Bcl-2 levels increased in the PFC, and Bax and caspase-3 expressions were downregulated in both regions with PEE administration. Conclusions: Polypody rhizome exerted anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in behavioral tests and reversed CRS-induced oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic alterations.

Authors: Samir Dwidmuthe  , ARADHYA SUHAS ARADHYA BHIKSHAVARTHIMATH , Mainak roy
Published: August 2024

An uncommon cystic, tumor-like lesion of uncertain origin, an anterior cruciate ligament ganglion is encircled by dense connective tissue that is filled with a gelatinous fluid. Ganglion cysts and ACL mucoid degeneration may coexist. The size and location of the lesion determine how the lesion presents clinically. Two examples of ganglion cysts originating from the anterior cruciate ligament are presented here; one exhibits a painful restriction of flexion, while the other presents with chronic pain that is not related to motion restriction.
With MRI, this uncommon clinical disease can be identified. It can be distinguished by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from pigmented villonodular synovitis, synovial sarcoma, mucoid degeneration of the ACL, and localized synovitis. It can be treated by arthroscopic cyst debridement or aspiration assisted by CT or USG. ACL damage must be prevented with caution. Following arthroscopic cyst debridement, both patients experienced a complete functional recovery.
Conclusion: Although uncommon, ganglion cysts of the ACL should be considered a differential diagnosis for knee discomfort. Diagnosis is confirmed by MRI evaluation. Good clinical results can be achieved by arthroscopic debridement of cysts without causing ligament damage.

Authors: Dimitrov Nikolay , Patrikov Kircho
Published: August 2024

Lipomas are the most commonly encountered benign tumors of the soft tissues, but they are rarely located in the palm. Their presence in this area can lead to functional impairments and pose a diagnostic challenge due to the complex anatomy of the hand.
We present a clinical case of a 59-year-old woman with a one-year history of a progressively enlarging lipoma in the subcutaneous fat tissue of the palmar area of her right hand. Preoperative diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging and radiography. The tumor was surgically removed. The patient achieved full recovery of hand function after the operation. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma.
This case highlights the importance of including lipoma in the differential diagnosis of hand tumors, even when they are located in unusual areas. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment can prevent functional limitations and provide optimal outcomes for patients.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features, psychiatric comorbidities, and treatments of childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), with consideration given to OCD severity, gender and age.
Method: The study included 104 children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 17 who were diagnosed with OCD and followed up in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry outpatient clinics between 2016 and 2023. The study examined the sociodemographic characteristics, clinical features, comorbid psychiatric disorders, and treatment approaches of children and adolescents with OCD.
Results: The sample had a mean age of 13.1 ± 2.7 years, and the mean age at onset of OCD was 11.9 ± 2.7 years (range: 5-17 years). Those with mild OCD had a significantly lower mean age at presentation and onset of OCD compared to those with moderate and severe OCD (p=0.012, p=0.02, respectively). Patients with severe OCD had longer illness duration (p=0.009) and outpatient follow-up (p=0.004) compared to those with moderate OCD. Boys had significantly higher rates of family history of psychiatric disorders (p=0.006), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder/oppositional defiant disorder (p=0.003), and tic disorder (p=0.035) comorbidity rates than girls, while girls had higher rates of anxiety disorders (p=0.022) comorbidity. The study found that repeating and counting compulsions were more common in adolescents than in preadolescents (p=0.003, all).
Conclusion: These results suggest that clinical presentation and comorbidity may vary with disease severity, gender and age, in children and adolescents with OCD. Early intervention is crucial to prevent clinical progression, worsening, and mental health sequelae.

Authors: İçöz Derya , Kök Hatice
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the dimensions and the morphology of the sella turcica, as well as maxillary cephalometric landmarks, in patients with and without clefts.
Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 55 cleft patients and 55 non-cleft (control) patients were included in the study. The morphology of the sella turcica, including its shape, height, width, and diameter was evaluated. Additionally, maxillary cephalometric measurements, comprising four lengths and two angles, were assessed on the radiographs. The chi-squared test was employed to compare sella turcica shapes between the cleft and non-cleft groups. Independent samples t-tests were conducted to analyze dimensional parameters between groups and genders.
Results: Significant relationship was found between groups with cleft and non-cleft for sella shapes (p=0.032). There was no statistical association for sella dimensions according to the cleft presence (p>0.05). All maxillary cephalometric measurements were significantly greater in individuals of the non-cleft group compared to those in the cleft group (ANS-PNS, A-PNS, S-N-ANS , S-N-A, N-A) except R-PNS.
Conclusion: Patients with clefts more frequently exhibited a flattened sella shape, whereas those without clefts tended to have a round sella shape. Maxillary cephalometric dimensions were lower in the individuals of cleft group.
A Comparison of Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome in Children with Major Depression Versus Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Sevinçok Doğa , Canol Özbek Tuğçe , Özbek Mutlu Muhammed
Published: August 2024

Objective: There is growing evidence that Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) is a distinct construct, supported by both empirical research and clinical differentiation. CDS demonstrates a stronger association with the inattentive type of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD-IA), compared to its correlation with hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms. Several studies have identified a significant positive relationship between CDS and internalizing symptoms such as anxiety and depression. To our knowledge, no study has explored CDS in children with major depression (MD). In the present study, we compared children with MD but without ADHD to children with ADHD but without depression in terms of CDS. We examined whether children with MD would have greater CDS when compared to children with ADHD.
Methods: Thirty-six adolescents with ADHD, and twenty-five adolescents with MD, aged 12 to 18 years old, were administered the Barkley Child Attention Scale (BCAS), Turgay's DSM-IV Based ADHD and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Screening Scale, and the Children’s Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R).
Results: The majority of the ADHD and MD groups were boys. The MD group had significantly higher BCAS scores than the ADHD group (U=287.0, p=0.016). In the ADHD group, the severity of BCAS scores was inversely correlated with ADHD-Hyperactivity/impulsivity scores (r=-0.681, p<0.001). In the MD group, there was a significant positive relationship between BCAS and CDRS scores (r= 0.493, p=0.012).
Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the transdiagnostic relevance of CDS by demonstrating its association with depression, independent of ADHD. This underscores the importance of considering CDS in the assessment and treatment of depression across various clinical contexts.
ECM components are essential for proper in vitro myogenesis
Authors: Akpulat Ugur
Published: August 2024

Objective: In vitro models of skeletal muscle often utilize primary myoblast cells or myoblast cell lines. Myoblasts require adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) to grow, proliferate, migrate, and differentiate in their natural environments in vivo. To meet the adhesion needs of adhesive cells under in vitro conditions, culture surfaces are coated with various biological or synthetic compounds. Within the scope of the study, the differentiation potential of H2K myoblasts, a cell line resembling primary myoblasts, were comparatively evaluated through morphological analysis on culture surfaces coated with various ECM and synthetic materials.
Methods: The culture surfaces were coated with fibronectin and laminin, the major adhesion proteins of ECM; gelatin, a molecular derivative of collagen; matrigel, an ECM extract; and PLL, a synthetic poly-amino acid. Cells were allowed to differentiate in each culture medium for 4 days and their capacity to adhere to the surface and differentiation rates from myoblast to myotube were evaluated by morphological analysis.
Results: In the uncoated culture environment, cells could only attach to 30-50% of the culture surface and myotube development was limited and not aligned with each other. On surfaces coated with PLL, no myotube development was observed and cells could only attach to 30-40% of the culture surface. Myotube development and alignment were similar on all surfaces coated with ECM components. On surfaces coated with ECM components laminin, fibronectin and matrigel, cells covered the entire culture surface and exhibited similar myotube development. However, on surfaces coated with gelatin, both cell adhesion to the surface and myotube development were limited compared to other ECM components. The mean myotube diameters of fibronectin, laminin, matrigel, PLL+laminin and gelatin were 49.71µm (±16.3µm), 52.31µm (±15.7µm), 51.9µm (±15.3µm), 53.06µm (±14.2µm) and 35.25µm (±11.4µm), respectively.
Conclusion: Within the scope of the study, it was revealed that coating the culture surface with only a cationic material such as PLL does not support myogenesis and ECM components are needed for cell viability and differentiation.

Concrete Form of Legal Protection Against Buyers in Good Faith in The Buy and Buy of Land
Authors: Dwirama Wiguna I Made Ananda , Bagiastra I Nyoman
Published: August 2024

The principle of good faith receives less attention than other principles in civil law literature. This study aims to determine how buyers who buy and sell land in good faith are protected by the law. The normative legal research methods used in this study are utilized. One concrete form of legal protection for buyers who act in good faith is that if a judge decides that the buyer is a buyer who acts in good faith, he or she must also decide the status of the sale and purchase that has taken place. These are the findings of the research study that are the subject of the discussion. Is the sale and purchase object still the buyer's property, or does the sale and purchase status end and the buyer has to pay back the seller the money? Rather than having to file a lawsuit in court, which takes a considerable amount of time and cannot guarantee buyers' certainty of legal protection, this type of thing is certain to be sufficient to provide buyers in good faith with protection.

Authors: Zulfikri Agung
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the effect of the PesantrenKU application on the independence of santri (students) in online learning within Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative analysis approach, data was collected from 100 santri using structured questionnaires. The collected data was then analyzed using SPSS version 25. The findings indicate that the use of the PesantrenKU application significantly enhances santri independence in their online learning activities. The results show significant positive relationships between PesantrenKU application usage and three dimensions of learning independence: self-regulation, self-motivation, and self-directed learning. These results suggest that integrating digital tools like PesantrenKU can play a crucial role in promoting independent learning in Islamic boarding schools, ultimately contributing to broader educational objectives in the region.

Amicus Curiae, or friends of the court, is an important instrument in constitutional proceedings in Indonesia even though it does not yet have a standard legal basis. This study discusses the authority of Amicus Curiae in providing additional information, enriching the judge's consideration, and supervising the proceedings of the Constitutional Court. The method used is the literature study approach, which is a research method whose series of research is related to the method of collecting library data, or research whose object of research is studied through various literature information, such as: books, journals, articles and documents. Amicus Curiae is filed in the form of a written document containing legal arguments and other relevant analysis. The Constitutional Court has the authority to reject Amicus Curiae that are judged irrelevant or filed with improper motives. On the other hand, a quality Amicus Curiae can have a positive influence on the decisions of the Constitutional Court and contribute to law enforcement and democracy in Indonesia. Amicus Curiae has not been clearly regulated in Indonesia, but in principle it is accepted under article 5 paragraph 1 of the Law on Judicial Power "Judges and constitutional judges are obliged to explore, follow and understand the legal values and sense of justice that live in society. Furthermore, the confession of the Amicus Curiae can be found in article 180 paragraph 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure which states that "In the event that it is necessary to clear up the sitting of the matter arising in court, the presiding judge of the trial may request expert testimony and may also request to submit new material by the interested person.
Съвременното изкуство като феномен в ерата на аксиологична несигурност
Authors: Deleva Nikolina
Published: August 2024

Contemporary art is in a state of value collapse, which is the result of different factors: the process of art and reality becoming one, the influence of information technologies, globalization, and commoditization. On the one hand, the globalizing world finds it increasingly difficult to find intersections, which makes it impossible to establish collective and shared values and norms, and on the other hand, voluntary living in simulated informational realities breaks the connection with reality, leading to living instead in the giant simulacrum of hyperreality. The universal commoditization and the turning of art into a fetish create an anti-cultural situation in which there are no areas left outside of monetary exchange. All these factors influence the erosion of artistic values. The final stage of this process is sacralization through destruction and immortalization through the annihilation of the work of art.

Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah proses bagaimana menerapkan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan penilaian dari strategi kurikulum 2013 edisi revisi pada SMK IBS Tathmainul Quluub Indramayu. Metode yang digunakan kualitatif, teknik pengumpulan data dengan triangulasi, sedangkan teknik analisis data induktif. Hasil observasi dan wawancara yang telah dilaksanakan, guru merasa sedikit kurang setuju dengan diterapkannya Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh, alasan yang utama adalah peserta didik kurang fokus pada pembelajaran, serta mengharuskan orang tua peserta didik mengeluarkan biaya lebih untuk membeli paket kuota internet. Jadi, pengimplementasian kurikulum 2013 yang dilakukan hanya pada tataran dokumen kurikulum, silabus, RPP, dan program-programnya saja. Kesimpulan Impelementasi Kurikulum 2013 pada SMK IBS Tathmainul Quluub Indramayu menyisakan banyak hal yang harus dibenahi. Hal ini dikeluhkan oleh hampir semua guru yang mengajar di SMK IBS Tathmainul Quluub Indramayu. Dalam pembelajaran, untuk mensiasati kendala-kendala yang terjadi yang membuat penyampaian materi tidak sesuai target, guru mensiasatinya dengan memberikan tugas tambahan yang sesuai dengan materi yang diajarkan. Untuk mensiasati penilaian yang tidak objektif, guru memberikan banyak kuis agar guru bisa mengukur kemampuan peserta didik setelah proses pembelajaran berlangsung.

Tujuan penelitian tindakan kelas atau yang dikenal sebagai PTK merupakan salah satu hal mendasar yang dapat dilakukan oleh guru sebagai seorang peneliti. Pelaksanaan sebuah penelitian tindakan kelas umumnya dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya nilai hasil belajar siswa. Penelitian tindakan kelas dilaksanakan karena rendahnya hasil belajar siswa pada pembelajaran IPA mengenai materi sistem pencernaan manusia. Keadaan ini disebabkan oleh banyaknya istilah sains dan proses pencernaan yang perlu dipelajari dan dipahami siswa serta upaya guru dalam penyampaian materi masih terlalu monoton dan dirasa membosankan oleh siswa. Oleh karena itu, penerapan metode circuit learning dipilih pada pelaksanaan PTK di kelas lima sekolah dasar agar dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Dari hasil pengamatan dan penelitian yang dilakukan, dapat dibuktikan bahwa hasil belajar siswa mengalami peningkatan karena dengan penerapan metode ini, siswa diarahkan juga dikondisikan untuk selalu melakukan pengulangan materi yang telah dibahas sebelumnya. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan, hasil penelitian yaitu seluruh siswa terbukti mampu mencapai nilai di atas standar ketuntasan minimum. Selain itu pula, pemetaan konsep, media visual, serta audio visual dimanfaatkan sebagai pendukung keberhasilan penerapan metode ini. Dengan demikian, pemanfaatan metode circuit learning dapat menjadi salah satu pendekatan alternatif yang dapat digunakan dalam rangka meningkatkan pemahaman serta kemampuan siswa dalam memperoleh hasil belajar yang lebih baik.
