Runoff component quantification and future streamflow projection in a large mountainous basin based on a multidata-constrained cryospheric-hydrological model
Authors: Zhang Mengjiao , Nan Yi , Tian Fuqiang
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The Yarlung Tsangpo River (YTR) is one of the several major rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and plays a pivotal role in providing invaluable fresh water to its downstream countries. Large uncertainties existed in the studies related to streamflow variations in this basin, and the investigation is difficult due to the widely distributed snowpack, glaciers and permafrost and their complex effects on hydrological processes. In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis on the streamflow variations and runoff components in the YTR basin, using a physically-based hydrological model validated by streamflow and multiple datasets related to cryospheric processes. Main findings include (1) The contributions of snowmelt and glacier melt runoff to streamflow were limited, both for about 5~6 % for the whole basin, which might be overestimated by previous studies. (2) Under the climate change, the annual runoff would increase evidently in the future. The relative change of annual streamflow could exceed 90 mm (~38 %) at the outlet station in the far future compared to the historical period under the high emission scenario, while the amount and contributions of meltwater runoff would both decrease. (3) Adopting more observational data to calibrate the hydrological model played a critical role in reducing the uncertainty of hydrological simulation. The biases of snow and glacier simulation for data unconstrained led to a marked overestimation of contributions of snowmelt and glacier melt runoff to streamflow and further brought about an underestimation of the increasing trends of annual runoff by approximately 5~10 % in future projection. These results provide a relatively reliable reference of the streamflow change and the runoff components in both historical and future periods in the YTR basin, and have the potential to serve as a “reference value” in this region because we used more datasets to constrain the model uncertainty compared to previous studies.

Abstract. The AgraSim (Agricultural Simulator) large-scale research infrastructure is an experimental simulator consisting of six mesocosms (each mesocosm consisting of an integrated climate chamber, plant chamber and lysimeter system) for studying the effects of future climate conditions on plant physiological, biogeochemical, hydrological and atmospheric processes in agroecosystems, which was designed and built by the Forschungszentrum Jülich. AgraSim makes it possible to simulate the environmental conditions in the mesocosms in a fully controlled manner under different weather and climate conditions ranging from tropical to boreal climate. Moreover, it provides a unique way of imposing future climate conditions which presently cannot be implemented under real-world conditions. It allows monitoring and controlling states and fluxes of a broad range of processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. This information can then be used to give input to process-models, to improve process descriptions and to serve as a platform for the development of a digital twin of the soil-plant-atmosphere system.

Published: July 2024

This research investigates the assessment of structural stability risks in buildings during natural disasters, with a particular focus on earthquakes, within historical centers. The objective is to create an accessible platform that can predictively create damage maps for blocks of buildings and large structures, enabling the prediction of damage and its impact on Cultural Heritage (CH) stability. The project seeks to generate risk maps for CH, emphasizing predictive damage mapping before natural disaster events occur under a variety of event scenarios. Methodologies have been devised to discern efficient and automated tools for harmonizing data, criteria, and indicators, thereby monitoring the influence of environmental changes on CH assets, encompassing structural stability and deterioration processes. This involves the integration of ground data (e.g., geotechnical and geological information), site-scale monitoring, satellite data (InSAR), and risk forecasting models (seismic models) to produce user-driven products like deformation maps, vulnerability assessments, and damage maps. Using AI-assisted models, the platform aims to enable ongoing inspection and monitoring of Cultural Heritage (CH) buildings for updating the vulnerability assessment.
Testing the assumptions in emergent constraints: why does the “emergent constraint on equilibrium climate sensitivity from global temperature variability” work for CMIP5 and not CMIP6?
Authors: Williamson Mark S. , Cox Peter M. , Huntingford Chris , Nijsse Femke J. M. M.
Published: July 2024

Abstract. It has been shown that a theoretically derived relation between annual global mean temperature variability and climate sensitivity held in the CMIP5 climate model ensemble (Cox et al., 2018a, hereafter CHW18). This so-called emergent relationship was then used with observations to constrain the value of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) to about 3 °C. Since this study was published, CMIP6, a newer ensemble of climate models has become available. Schlund et al. (2020) showed that many of the emergent constraints found in CMIP5 were much weaker in the newer ensemble, including that of CHW18. As the constraint in CHW18 was based on a relationship derived from reasonable physical principles, it is of interest to find out why it is weaker in CMIP6. Here, we look in detail at the assumptions made in deriving the emergent relationship in CHW18 and test them for CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. We show one assumption, that of low correlation and variation between ECS and the internal variability parameter, a parameter that captures chaotic internal variability and sub-annual (fast) feedbacks, that while true for CMIP5 is not true for CMIP6. When accounted for, an emergent relationship appears once again in both CMIP ensembles, implying the theoretical basis is still applicable while the original assumption in CHW18 is not. Unfortunately, however, we are unable to provide an emergent constraint in CMIP6 as observational estimates of the internal variability parameter are too uncertain.
New routine NLTE15µmCool-E v1.0 for calculating the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) CO2 15 µm cooling in general circulation models (GCMs) of Earth's atmosphere
Authors: Kutepov Alexander , Feofilov Artem
Published: July 2024

Abstract. We present a new routine for calculating the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) 15 µm CO2 cooling–heating of mesosphere and lower thermosphere in general circulation models. It uses the optimized models of the non-LTE in CO2 for day and night conditions and delivers cooling–heating with an error not exceeding 1 K d−1 even for strong temperature disturbances. The routine uses the accelerated lambda iteration and opacity distribution function techniques for the exact solution of the non-LTE problem and is about 1000 times faster than the standard matrix and line-by-line solution. It has an interface for feedbacks from the model and is ready for implementation. It may use any quenching rate coefficient of the CO2(ν2)+O(3P) reaction, handles large variations in O(3P), and allows the user to vary the number of vibrational levels and bands to find a balance between the calculation speed and accuracy. The suggested routine can handle the broad variation in CO2 both below and above the current volume mixing ratio, up to 4000 ppmv. This allows the use of this routine for modeling Earth's ancient atmospheres and the climate changes caused by increasing CO2.

Published: July 2024

Abstract. Integration of microwave sources and detection circuits has led to the design of very compact electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instruments, so-called EPR on-a-chip (EPRoC). As recently demonstrated, this approach also offers opportunities for electrical detection of magnetic resonance (EDMR), a variant of EPR in which the magnetic resonance effect is detected via changes in the electrical properties of materials or devices. Here, we report the demonstration of EDMRoC on lateral SiC MOSFETs under charge pumping (CP) conditions. The detected CP current gives direct access to microscopic information about the recombination centers within the transistor gate inversion region under the gate dielectric. Efficient and selective microwave excitation of the region of interest of the device can be obtained by only modest modifications to both the MOSFET and the EPRoC electronic board. A comparative study between EDMRoC and a traditional resonant cavity configuration reveals comparable signal-to-noise ratios for CP-detected EDMR spectra. In addition to space- and cost-efficiency, EDMRoC offers alternative detection modes with scanning and modulation of the microwave frequency, as well as potentially easier sample mounting and exchange. We end with a discussion of the advantages, limitations, and perspectives of the EDMRoC set-up compared to EDMR in a conventional EPR spectrometer.

Published: July 2024

Abstract. Landslides due to rainfall are among most destructive natural disasters that cause property damages, huge financial losses and human deaths in different parts of the World. To plan for mitigation and resilience, the prediction of the volume of rainfall-induced landslides is essential to understand the relationship between the volume of soil materials debris and their associated predictors. Objectives of this research are to construct a model by utilizing advanced data-driven algorithms (i.e., ordinary least square or Linear regression (OLS), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (EGB), generalized linear model (GLM), decision tree (DT), and deep neural network (DNN), K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and Ridge regression (RR)) for the prediction of the volume of landslides due to rainfall considering geological, geomorphological, and environmental conditions. Models were tested on the Korean landslide dataset to observe the best-performing model, and among tested algorithms, the extreme gradient boosting ranked high with the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.85) and mean absolute error (MAE = 150.421 m3). The volume of landslides was strongly influenced by slope length, drainage status, slope angle, aspect, and age of trees. The anticipated volume of landslide can be important for land use allocation and efficient landslide risk management.

Authors: Bharat Kshirsagar Mrunal , Kumar Jain Sudhir , Agarwal Shivika
Published: July 2024

Breast cancer in men is a rare condition, accounting for an estimated 0.5-1% of all breast cancer cases. Recent data indicate a slight increase in incidence, although epidemiological information on male breast cancer remains scarce compared to its female counterpart due to its rarity. Typically, this type of cancer is observed in elderly men, often in their 60s or 70s. Men with breast cancer tend to be diagnosed at advanced stages, which generally leads to poorer outcomes compared to female breast cancer (FBC).
This study aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiological factors and clinicopathological characteristics of male breast cancer patients.

Проблема интеграции теории метамодернизма в сферу академических гуманитарно-философских исследований современности
Authors: Соловьёв Дмитрий Александрович
Published: July 2024

Теоретическая концепция «метамодернизм», предложенная ещё в 2010 году с целью философской концептуализации современного общества и культуры после постмодернизма и обобщающая изыскания постпостмодернизма, продолжает сохранять квазиакадемический статус. Данная теория практически не используется в академических исследованиях гуманитарного профиля. Так как теория метамодернизм мало изучена научными специалистами, в данной статье впервые освещаются собственно причины её настоящего положения по отношению к академическим философским изысканиям. Целью исследования является выявление факторов, препятствующих вхождению метамодернизма в теоретический социально-философский инструментарий изучения современности профессиональными учёными. Анализ показывает, что квазиакадемический статус теории Вермюлена – ван ден Аккера обусловлен комплексом причин, среди которых подход, используемый авторами метамодернизма: акцентуация второстепенных черт современности, затмевающие объективную содержательную сторону положений, выдвигаемых теорией метамодернизм, обращение к предметному полю  постмодернизма, антитезой которого и выступает метамодернизм, обилие неакадемических трактовок метамодернизма, порождающих скепсис по отношению к самой теории со стороны академиков, позиция научных кругов, придерживающихся постмодерноцентричного подхода касательно современного социума и культуры, неолиберальная политика в сфере высшего образования и науки в XXI веке  сказавшаяся,  в первую очередь на качестве, целях и задачах  философского образования, результирующая в снижении качества философского образования.

Published: July 2024

The main aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of anoac® cream treatment on the management of Haemorrhoids, Fissures and Fistulas in comparison with marketed ointment.It was a prospective, observational, open-label, comparative and single centre clinical study conducted on 60 Haemorrhoids, Fissures and Fistulas patients. Adult patients of either sex, 18 years or older, referred to the Healing Hands Clinic, Pune, India, for haemorrhoids, fissures and fistulas were study candidates. Some patients were given ananoac® cream treatment, while others were given marketed ointment. 60 patients were included and no side effects were reported during the entire study period. The anoac® cream treatment group exhibited a significant difference in symptoms with P values < 0.05. In contrast, the marketed ointment showed a very slight difference in symptoms, which was inferior to the anoac® treatment group. An examination of the proposed doctor and patients revealed that almost all patients in the anoac® cream treatment group made excellent progress when compared with the marketed ointment. This study concludes that the anoac® cream formulation provides more relief than the marketed ointment for treating haemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas. It is also well-tolerated, safe, and effective.

Epilepsy is a long-lasting condition of the nervous system that impacts around 50 million individuals across the globe. The condition is defined by repeated episodes of seizures, which can result in bodily harm, cognitive deficits, and emotional discomfort. Despite advances in the understanding and treatment of epilepsy, it remains a significant health burden globally. Currently, the management of epilepsy involves the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), surgery, and lifestyle modifications. However, AEDs may cause side effects, and some people with epilepsy may not respond to them. In terms of research, there is ongoing work to identify new treatments for epilepsy, including non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, gene therapies, and new medications. In this study, 26 compounds were created using two distinct ring structures as their foundation and were tested for their in-silico activity (PDB ID: 6HUP). The objective was to target the GABAA receptor, using diazepam as the standard compound for comparison. Results showed that two of the newly designed compounds had significantly better docking scores when compared to the standard drug. These compounds also demonstrated strong hydrophobic interaction and binding affinity.

Authors: Choudhari Ganesh , Choudhari Vishnu , More Chandrakant
Published: July 2024

The study was undertaken to evaluate single herb formulation (SHF) as Saptarangi tablet (ST) and polyherbal formulations (PHF) as Saptarangi plus Kadha (SK) for diabetes and hyperlipidemia. The main objective of proposed study was to evaluate the anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities of ST and SK in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, as well as their interactions with metformin (MET), in order to prove complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for diabetes treatments. The single intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of STZ at the dose of 45mg/kg was given to induce diabetes in Wistar albino rats. At dosages of 45 mg/kg and 1.35ml/kg, ST and SK were evaluated for antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic action. It was calculated using biochemical alterations in urine, serum, liver, kidney and pancreatic tissue homogenate. The liver, kidney and pancreas tissues were examined for histological changes. MET at the dose of 100 mg/kg was administered as a reference standard. Hyperglycemia, increased serum HbA1c(glycosylated hemoglobin), increased oxidative stress, increased urine volume and frequency, increased serum lipid profile(mg/dl), decreased liver glycogen content (%), and minimal to normal histological alterations in the liver, kidney, and pancreas were all observed following STZ administration. The increased serum glucose level(mg/dl) and urine volume (ml/24hrs) were significantly lowered by ST and SK. The serum lipid profile and HbA1c levels were significantly improved by ST and SK. The amount of glycogen in the liver also increased significantly. The histological changes in liver, kidney and pancreatic tissue were recovered as close to normal due to ST and SK treatment. Without any herb-drug interactions (HDI), ST and SK showed significant antidiabetic and hypolipidemic activities. ST has significant anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities. These activities were improved much more in the SK group, and there was no HDI for ST/SK with MET, confirming that ST and SK have CAM potential. Furthermore, the SK+MET combination has proved to have the most promising anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic effects.

Efficacy of Water Soaked Neem (Azadiarachta indica) Leaf Filtrate on Three Insect Pests on okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] Plants
Authors: Kofi Hordzi Wisdom Harrison
Published: July 2024

This study investigated the efficacy of neem leaf filtrate on three insect pests of okra in a garden at Winneba, Ghana. In this experiment the garden was demarcated into two equal halves where one half was used as the experimental area whereas the other half used as the control area. Filtrate of 500g of neem leaves soaked in 40 litres of pipe born water left for two weeks was used in spraying okra plants in the experimental area while five litres of ordinary water was used to spray the control area. Ten plants from each area were selected and labelled and the number of Aphis (Aphis gosspii), Thrips (Thrips spp.) and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) which are common okra insect pests in the area monitored on these plants. Means calculated were compared using t-test and two-way analysis of variance at 0.05 probability. Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) were the most abundant (48.53%) and the differences among the total numbers for the three insect pests were significant (P<0.05). There were significant differences among the means for the control and experimental groups (F =110.15, df =1, 36; P<0.05). The findings suggest that neem leaf filtrate was effective in reducing the population of the three insect pests on okra. Therefore, neem leaf filtrate may be useful alternative in controlling Aphis gosspii, Thrips spp. and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) on okra.

В статье приведены результаты минералогического изучения высокотитанистых ильменитовых руд, проводимого в рамках поисково-оценочных работ с целью оценки их качества. Установлено, что руды, имея простой минеральный состав и благоприятные текстурно-структурные характеристики, обладают минералогическими особенностями, неблагоприятно влияющими на их обогащение гравитационными и магнитными методами. Выявлена контрастность главного рудного минерала ильменита и породообразующих минералов по электрическим свойствам, позволяющая эффективно разделять их электрическими методами.

The article presents the results of a mineralogical study of high-titanium ilmenite ores as part of prospecting and evaluation in order to assess their quality. The data received testify that ores with a simple mineral composition and favorable textural and structural characteristics have mineralogical features that adversely affect their enrichment by gravitational and magnetic methods. The main ore mineral ilmenite and the rock-forming minerals have a clear contrast in electrical properties, so they may be effectively separated by electrical methods.

The research was carried out using a wheat genotype to assess the foliar impact of applying potassium during a specific growth stage. Various physiological parameters and changes in photosynthetic pigments were analyzed in response to potassium application. The data obtained for different growth parameters over the study period were subjected to statistical analysis to facilitate comparisons. Exposing wheat genotypes to a 0.5% foliar application of potassium resulted in significant enhancements in morphological, biological, photosynthetic pigment and yield attributes parameters when compared to plants grown in a potassium-free environment (Control). This improvement was particularly recorded in terms of the fresh and dry weights of the stem and plant, as well as the levels of chlorophyll ‘a,’ ‘b,’ total chlorophyll and yield attributing parameters. The most substantial enhancements in the tested parameters were observed at a potassium concentration of 0.5%. This study establishes that foliar application of potassium at an optimal 0.5% concentration acts as a growth promoter, leading to increased chlorophyll content, yield and ion uptake in wheat. Furthermore, it is advisable to prioritize the use of 0.5% potassium foliar application in the mentioned locations.

Published: July 2024

In India, traffic is the main cause of air pollution in urban areas. While commuting, commuters are substantially exposed to pollutants. This study was carried out on one of the busiest routes of Delhi – NCR to measure personal exposure to PM1 , PM2.5, and PM10 in four transportation modes, such as motorcycle, auto-rickshaw, car-open window, and car-AC (Air conditioner). Using a transportable aerosol spectrometer, Particulate Matter (PM) measurements were repeated for five weekdays during peak and off-peak hours for all transportation modes. Trip averaged exposure to pollution to commuters for PM1 in decreasing order was motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car -open window and car - AC in peak hour and motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car -open window and car - AC in non-peak hour. For PM2.5 it was motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car- open window and car - AC in peak hour and motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car - open window and carAC in non-peak hour. Whereas for PM10 it was motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car- open window and car - AC in peak hour and motorcycle, auto rickshaw, car- open window and car -AC in non-peak hour. Size fractions (fine/coarse) varied from 32 to 78% in the peak hour and 24 to 60% in the non–peak hour. The findings of this study can be utilized to focus efforts on lowering personal exposure.
Cuerpos sin nombre, nombres sin cuerpo. Desapariciones en Colombia by María Victoria Uribe
Authors: Pobutsky Aldona Bialowas
Published: July 2024

The extensive work of Colombian anthropologist and historian María Victoria Uribe sheds light on the political, symbolic, and ritualistic aspects of violence spanning from the times of La Violencia (1948-1958) through the present. Uribe examines massacres, its victims and victimizers, as well as the phenomenology of crimes, ranging from emotions and perceptions to the social activities, volition and linguistic communication of the violent subjects. Importantly, her oeuvre also addresses human rights and memory; memory as historical testimony and memory of the victims, largely belonging to the non-combatant civilian population, whose identities have been destroyed post mortem. These are, no doubt, particularly somber topics explored by various institutions in the 2016 peace process which have sought to come to terms with a legacy of violations and abuses.

Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan yang semakin pesat menuntut guru untuk melakukan perubahan pada bahan ajar lembaga pendidikan atau sekolah. Salah satu mata pelajaran yang berkembang sangat pesat dengan teknologi informasi adalah geografi. Salah satu bidang geografi yang saat ini pesat perkembangannya adalah materi Penginderaan Jauh dan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Saat ini guru geografi tidak jarang mengalami kendala dalam pembelajaran praktek materi penginderaan jauh dan Sistem Informasi Geografis, sehingga dalam proses pembelajaran hanya mengedepankan teori saja tanpa mengajarkan praktek kepada peserta didik, alhasil ketercapaian pada materi ini kurang sempurna.

A Rare Case of Dengue Myocarditis: Challenges in Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Hafiz Muhammad Mubeen Nawaz  , Hanan Rana , Javed Ashraf Muhammad
Published: July 2024

Dengue fever is a viral infection prevalent worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions and affects millions of people annually. It is associated with several complications, including rare yet significant cardiac complications, such as myocarditis. Myocarditis caused by dengue fever is challenging to diagnose and can be initially mistaken for acute coronary syndrome. This case report describes the diagnostic and management difficulties encountered by examining a young male patient who developed myocarditis as a complication of severe dengue fever. A 30-year-old male, a known smoker, presented to the emergency department with chest pain, diaphoresis, and hypotension. ECG indicated inferior wall ST-T changes. A physical examination revealed no abnormalities. The patient had a five-day history of fever and myalgia. The patient was initially diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and cardiogenic shock. Primary coronary angiography revealed no abnormal findings. Echocardiography revealed a decreased LV ejection fraction of 40% and global wall hypokinesia with normal chamber dimensions, necessitating further investigation of the etiology. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with dengue virus-induced myocarditis based on laboratory investigations. This case underscores the rarity of dengue-associated myocarditis and emphasizes the pivotal role of maintaining a high clinical suspicion index for early diagnosis and management. Additionally, it emphasizes the significance of continuous case reporting to enhance our understanding and shape the evidence-based practices to address this uncommon complication.

Authors: Fadilla Halida , Anggraeni Milka , Hidayani Hidayani
Published: July 2024

Background: Every year, 373 million pregnant women in Indonesia experience anxiety. Around 28.7 percent of all pregnant women experience anxiety. This number is equivalent to 107,000,000 people worldwide. The effects of maternal anxiety on fetal development have been well documented. Several things that can influence the level of anxiety are family support and the mother's knowledge. This support and knowledge will then become a pattern of behavior for pregnant women. Objective: To determine the relationship between family support, knowledge and behavior of pregnant women on anxiety of pregnant women before giving birth in PMB A Leuwiliang District. Bogor. Method: This research is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach with total sampling and the number of samples taken was 50 respondents. Data collection techniques use questionnaire media. Bivariate analysis was carried out to obtain information on whether there was a correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable using chi-square.Results: The results of this study show a relationship between family support and anxiety with a p-value <0.001. The relationship between knowledge and anxiety with p-value <0.001. The relationship between behavior and anxiety with p-value <0.001. Conclusion: There is a relationship between family support, knowledge and behavior of pregnant women on anxiety of pregnant women before giving birth at PMB A Leuwiliang, Bogor Regency. Therefore, all pregnant women should have family support and good knowledge in order to reduce the level of anxious behavior in facing childbirth.
How agencies enable and perpetuate the coercive control of women
Authors: Beddows Amy , Mishra Ankita
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the need for a wider understanding of men’s violence against women, specifically coercive control, and the extent to which this far-ranging pattern of domination, exploitation, and dehumanisation is enacted beyond individual abusers. Men who engage in coercive control also manipulate agencies and professionals (in healthcare and criminal justice services as well as other sectors) as another medium through which they can harm their partners. Simultaneously, these agencies enact various forms of control and restriction over women who are trying to access support, mirroring and amplifying men’s abuse and further reducing women’s space for action (Kelly et al, 2014). This enmeshment of abusers and professionals makes it harder for women to escape violence and rebuild their lives, especially women from marginalised backgrounds and minoritised identities.

This reflective piece draws on the research and practice experience of its authors to challenge the pervasive misunderstanding of coercive control as an episodic, interpersonal process rather than a course of events (Lombard & Proctor, 2023) which can also be enacted through agencies, institutions, and systems. We argue that professionals can inadvertently be part of the ‘conducive context’ for coercive control (Kelly, 2007), impeding meaningful attempts to address the devastating and widespread impacts of men’s violence against women.
Cultural Scaffolding and Dark Triad: A Feminist Poststructuralist Perspective on Male Perpetrators of Domestic Violence and Abuse
Authors: Neale Jo
Published: July 2024

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is under-reported, under-prosecuted and under-convicted. The apparent ineffectiveness of policy approaches in reducing the incidence of DVA, or mitigating its social and economic costs, forms the backcloth of my enquiry.

I explore the processes by which heterosexual women enter, endure, and leave abusive relationships. Using narrative-style interviews, I worked with 14 women with a wide range of characteristics in terms of age, ethnicity, physicality, and socio-economic status.

I examine the space between normalised heterosexual relationships and abuse. I shine a spotlight on the full range of perpetrators’ behaviours that entrap and oppress their female partners, and identify four key domains in which the coercive tactics of the abuser work to: Ensnare his victim; dismantle her previous identities; prevent her from leaving the relationship; and punish her for leaving.

From a feminist poststructuralist perspective, participants’ experiences of entering, enduring and exiting abusive relationships can be read as part of the wider cultural scaffolding (Gavey, 2019) of heteropatriarchy, which left them exposed to ensnarement and exploitation. Using dark triad (Paulhus, 2014) as a model for conceptualising perpetrators’ manipulation of their ex-partners, their children, and professionals, I offer an alternative to traditional psychology’s way of understanding men’s abuse of their female partners.
Experiences and outcomes in shoulder replacements in a district general hospital over 19 years
Authors: Dekker Andrew Peter , Hind Jamie , Ashwood Neil
Published: July 2024

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the changing experiences of shoulder surgeons working in a district general hospital.Methods: A consecutive series of 395 shoulders (225 male, 170 female) over a 19-year period (2000–2019) with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were analyzed. Outcome measures were length of stay, operating time, satisfaction visual analog score (VAS), pain VAS, Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), Constant-Murley score, range of movement, complications, and implant survival.Results: The incidence of a diagnosis of osteoarthritis as the surgical indication increased over time. The number of cases by surgeon per year increased from three cases in 2,000 to a peak of 33 in 2011. Up to seven implant manufacturers were used. The incidence of hemiarthroplasties decreased, and more numerous reverse polarity and anatomic arthroplasties were performed (P<0.001). More glenoid and humeral components were cemented and more short-stem implants were used in later years (P<0.001). Length of stay was a median of 1 day with a trend towards daytime surgery in recent years. Patients were satisfied (VAS 8/10) and OSS improved by 8 points on average throughout the observation period.Conclusions: Despite frequent introductions of new implants, patient outcome, satisfaction, and complication rates remained good. There appears to be a need for large-scale, generalizable studies to understand why technological advancements leading to changes in implants do not influence clinical outcomes.Level of evidence: III.
