Authors: S. El-Safty  , Y. Hayashi
Published: March 2023

The growth of GaN thin ﬁlms using this technique is still a challenge. According to our knowledge, up to now there are limited theoretical and experimental studies on ECD of GaN [7,8].  In our previous work we presented a synthesis of GaN thin ﬁlm using a simple and low-cost ECD on n-Si (1 1 1) substrates and for the ﬁrst time below room temperature at 20 oC using different current densities and constant deposition duration. In order to have a deeper insight on the growth mechanism of GaN ﬁlms by ECD, study on the effects of deposition time is desirable.
Analysis and characterization of GaN nanostructure by electrochemical etching
Authors: J. Ouyang  , S. Wang
Published: March 2023

Nanostructured GaN layers have been fabricated by electrochemical and laser-induced etching (LIE) processes based on n-type GaN thin ﬁlms grown on the Si (111) substrate with AlN buffer layers. The effect of varying current and laser power density on the morphology of the GaN layers is investigated. The etched samples exhibited a dramatic increase in photoluminescence intensity as compared to the as grown samples. The average diameter of the GaN crystallites was about 7–10 nm, as determined from the PL data The Raman spectra also displayed stronger intensity peaks, which were shifted and broadened as a function of etching parameters. A strong band at 522 cm−1 is from the Si (111) substrate, and a small band at 301 cm−1, due to the acoustic phonons of Si. Two Raman active optical phonons are assigned h-GaN at 139 cm−1 and 568 cm−1due to E2 (low) and E2 (high) respectively.

Published: March 2023

The present study was designed to study if estrus induction response in anestrous buffaloes is augmented by priming using fabricated progesterone implants. For this study, progesterone implants with dose (150 mg and 350 mg) were fabricated with non-biodegradable, biocompatible polymer following standard protocol. These implants were tested as subcutaneous ear implants in 8 acyclic buffaloes for 7 days. Based on the estrus induction response and serum progesterone profile across days, 350 mg P4 implants were used for trial 2. In trial 2, three groups (8 each), viz. 1 [control: no treatment], 2 [progesterone depot 500 mg i.m. on day 0, progesterone s.c. ear implant (350 mg) on day 4, PMSG 500 IU on day 6 and P4 implant removal on day 7 followed by estrus detection and AI], 3 [progesterone depot 500 mg on day 0 i.m.; PMSG 500 IU i.m. on day 6 followed by estrus detection and AI ] were studied for estrus induction and fertility response. None (0.0%), 7 (87.5%) and 6 (75.0%) buffaloes were induced to estrus in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Serum progesterone on day 7 was significantly higher in group 2 as compared to other groups. In group 2, four buffaloes ovulated out of which 3 conceived as compared to none in group 3. In summary, induction of estrus and ovulation in anestrous buffaloes by synergistic action of progesterone depot and implant ratify the potential scope of fabricated progesterone implants for inducing ovarian cyclicity in anestrous buffaloes.

Published: March 2023

The present study was conducted to deduce the alteration in follicular dynamics, hormonal and biochemical profile across seasons in buffaloes. In this study, 14 cyclic buffaloes were selected for assessing the follicular dynamics, hormonal and biochemical profile, 7 each during summer and winter. Higher ambient temperature was observed in summer as compared to winter. Nonsignificant difference across seasons with respect to growth rate of follicles and duration of follicular waves was observed. Serum progesterone (P4) showed no significant difference across seasons but differed significantly with respect to days of the estrous cycle in both seasons. Cortisol level diddiffer significantly from day 4 to day 16 of estrous cycle across seasons. Follicular hormones, viz. estradiol and P4 were significantly higher irrespective of seasons as compared to peripheral level. Follicular biochemical parameters, viz. cholesterol, total protein significantly differed between serum and follicular fluid during summer. Similarly during winter, follicular glucose was higher as compared to serum. In conclusion, season has a significant effect on peripheral cortisol with nonsignificant alterations in follicular dynamics, follicular hormones (E2 and P4) and biochemical milieu across seasons in cyclic buffaloes.

Published: March 2023

The present study was conducted to compare various morphometric parameters of mithun sperm (Bos frontalis)in fresh and frozen-thawed semen. Ejaculates (36) from 6 mithun bulls were subjected for cryopreservation with commercial extender (optixel). The semen sample after dilution was cooled gradually from 35°C to 5°C and then frozen in biofreezer under controlled freezing rate. Both fresh and frozen-thawed semen were processed for staining using Eosin-Nigrosin and Giemsa stain and digitized for morphometric evaluation. Mean linear measurements of different parameters, viz. head-length, head-width, head-base, acrosome length, acrosome width, midpiece length, tail length, head shape, head area, head circumference and total sperm length, were taken. Results revealed no difference in various sperm morphometric parameters between fresh and frozen-thawed sperm except the head area which was significantly lower in frozen-thawed sperm. This is the first comprehensive report on mithun sperm morphometry, and it showed little variation in various morphometric parameters when compared to crossbred bull and Murrah buffalo bull sperm.

Authors: PAL PAPRI , CHATLOD L R , AVASTHE R K
Published: March 2023

Based on a systematic epidemiological study, bioclimatographs were prepared for Haemonchus and Trichostrongylus spp. infecting goats of subtropical high humid zone of Sikkim, India. Three meteorological parameters i.e., maximum and minimum temperature, average relative humidity and total rainfall were recorded for each month from April 2012 to March 2013 and correlated with faecal egg count, faecal larval count and pasture larval count of grazing area under investigation. Bioclimatographs were prepared against different meteorological parameters and the predicted values were correlated with actual field study. The findings in goats revealed higher rate of infection of Haemonchus and Trichostrongylus spp. from July to October and September to early March and higher intensity from June to October and November to February, respectively. The higher incidence of infection of larval stages on pasture was observed from June to October for Haemonchus spp.The prediction or forecasting of Haemonchus spp. and Trichostrongylus spp. infection in goats of this agroclimatic region as per bioclimatographs revealed a prediction for development and survival of eggs and larvae of Haemonchus spp. infection from July to October and for Trichostrongylus spp. from September to February. Bioclimatographs revealed that maximum temperature (Tmax.) v/s total rainfall (TRF) and Tmax. v/s relative humidity (RH) gave better prediction for Haemonchus spp, while for Trichostrongylus spp. it was minimum temperature (Tmin.) v/s RH.

The result from revealed that T3 group have significantly (P<0.05) higher respiratory rate, pulse rate and rectal temperature than T1 and T2 groups. Similarly T1 group has significantly (P<0.05) higher Haemoglobin concentration than T2 and T3 groups. Packed cell volume revealed, T3 group has significantly (P<0.05) higher value than T2 and T1 groups. T1 and T2 groups have significantly higher glucose concentration than in T3 group. Similar observation was reported in total protein content. SGOT concentration revealed that significant (P<0.05) difference was observed among the groups and T3 group has significantly higher value than other groups whereas SGPT level was significantly higher in T3 and T2 groups than in T1 groups. Endocrinological profiles such as (T3) triiodothyronine and (T4) thyroxine revealed that T1 group have significantly higher level than T2 and T3 groups and T2 group had significantly (P<0.05) higher T3 and T4 value than in T3 group. Similarly, significantly (P<0.05) higher cortisol was recorded in T3 group over T2 and T1 groups and T2 and T1 groups were comparable. It was found that the intensive system of rearing has higher beneficial effect on comfort and productive performance for sheep farming in the tropical conditions. In the other 2 systems, the stress need to be reduced by supplementation of higher plane of nutrition, electrolyte supplementation during extreme summer and creation of waterbodies in the path of grazing and provision of shade and shelter for the sheep flocks while on long hours of grazing are essential.

Published: March 2023

Climate change has become a threat to the sustainability of livestock systems throughout the world. Present study was carried out to evaluate the ameliorative effect of custom design shelter system and chromium propionate supplementation in crossbred calves, for which 15 growing Karan Fries crossbred calves were further divided equally into three groups based on their body weight and age. Groups 1, 2 and 3 animals were kept in an open shed (control), under custom designed shed and under custom designed shed supplemented with chromium propionate @ 0.5 mg/kg DMI through chromium propionate, respectively. These animals were fed on the fodder and concentrate (60:40) ad lib. All calves were kept under similar feeding and management schedule for 8 days under preliminary period to adapt on the diet followed by 90 days experimental period. Blood samples were collected on day 0, 45 and 90 for the analysis of biochemical parameters (cortisol, catalase, IgA and IgM) and expression of growthrelated gene (NFIL3). Results showed that the custom designed shed reduced the Tmax (32.94Â°C) by 3.24Â°C compared to the open shed (36.18Â°C) and improved the dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG) and decreased water intake of growing calves of group 3 and 2 over group 1. Results further indicated lower stress(cortisol, catalase) levels and better immunity (IgA and IgM) in group 3 compared to group 2 and 1. The generelated to growth (NFIL3) showed higher expression in group 3 compared to the group 2 and 1. The improvementin body weight gain with better immunity and lower stress level in group 3 and 2 indicated beneficial effect ofcustom designed shelter system and chromium propionate supplementation to Karan Fries growing calves. Therefore, micro environment modification by shed along with chromium supplementation can be suggested as an important management practices during heat stress for crossbreed calves.

Les nouvelles formes de mobilisation et leur apport dans la décentralisation en République du Congo : analyse à partir de l’expérience de Pointe-Noire, à l’aune des « nouveaux Nouveaux Mondes » de Georges Balandier
Authors: Osséré NGANONGO
Published: March 2023

[En]The control of political spaces by some regimes prevents the mobilization of opposition in such spaces. This has led to the emergence of new forms of mobilization through social networks, which encourage the emergence of new forms of engagement, of participation in debates and the emergence of a new type of political actor in these virtual worlds called “new New Worlds” by Georges Balandier. In these spaces interactions between actors allow the appropriation of devolution processes by making citizens committed actors, attached to their territory, and, involved in ongoing dynamics.
Promoting Epistemic Vigilance Against Racist Attacks on Africans on Mediatised Permanent Education Sites
Authors: Mhiripiri Nhamo Anthony
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses how tropes of racism against people of African descent manifest in public texts (permanent education sites) of different genres and forms. The selected permanent education sites include the mediatisation of the public and private lives of the British royal family’s Prince Harry and Meghan’s break away from royal duties, the FIFA World Cup and the English Premier League, the Chinese Museum in Hubei, and other public incidences that provoked racial controversies. These activities, controversies and exhibitions are vehicles through which racism is reproduced as part of the historical global capitalist system. This is the ubiquitous public pedagogy of permanent education. The porous but multifarious dominant sitesdiffuse diverse forms of pedagogical address to put into play a limited range of identities, ideologies, and subject positions that both reinforce neoliberal social relations and undermine the capacity for democratic politics. Critical scholarship has a normative duty to be mindful of all cultural activities and productions, their processes of signification, and implications for humanization and democracy. After conveniently selecting specific mass mediated permanent education sites, this paper theorises and historicises the colonial foundations of racism and the European construction of an imagined racial hierarchy. It then problematises China as an emergent global economic powerhouse located in this gradation, and its contemporary self- identities – both official and public – given notable allegations of incidences of Chinese racism against people of African descent. Popular sites of mediation are not studied for their own sake, but to develop a radical pan-African scholarship strategically positioned to influence public education sites for social transformation and justice. Such vigilant critical decolonial scholarship makes necessary com onse to insidious sites ocultural education.
Narratives of Zimbabwean female teachers’ experience in South Africa
Authors: Zvisinei Moyo
Published: March 2023

The violent political situation and economic meltdown in Zimbabwe at the turn of the 21st century that saw a mass exit of Zimbabweans to other countries served as a catalyst for this study. Female teachers were among the historic outflow to neighbouring South Africa. Thus, this paper examined the experience of Zimbabwean female immigrant teachers in South Africa. Empirically, narrative interviews, were used together to elicit data. The author who was amongst the immigrant teachers gave a narration of her story. The interviews were electronically recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using the feminist critical discourse perspectives. The key findings speak to female immigrant teachers as resilient professionals who were able to overcome the challenges of resettling in South Africa. Zimbabwean female immigrant teachers have challenged prevailing stereotypes for instance that male dominance. Therefore, the South African government needs to enact policies that improve the plight of female immigrant teachers.

Autoethnography, Reflexivity, and Insider Researcher Dynamics: Reflections on Investigating Violence against Men in Intimate Relationships
Authors: Emmanuel Rowlands
Published: March 2023

Autoethnography is a qualitative research method for relating lived-through personal experiences to a range of existing social representations. It is regarded as self-representation in examining and critiquing dominant representations. While the researcher’s subjectivities are restricted within the ethnographic qualitative framework, autoethnography emphasises this foundation as essential to data collection, interpretation, and analysis in the research process. In this paper, I discuss how my lived-through personal experience of abuse influenced how/why I conceptualised, investigated, and represented the lived experiences of several abused male victims of intimate partner violence in Johannesburg, which are typically ignored in gender- based violence literature. The paper comments on tactics used to negotiate ethical dilemmas as part of a conceptual examination of the benefits of reflexivity and insider positionality to reinforce the self-reflective autoenthgrapahy as a valuable qualitative method.

Der Mensch als geistiges Naturwesen bei Adolf Portmann (1897–1982)
Authors: Schulz-Nieswandt Frank
Published: March 2023

The book is a reconstruction of the works of Adolf Portmann (1897–1982) as contributions (1) to a philosophical anthropology as the foundation of a theory of education and socialization related to psychology of ontogenetic development, (2) to biosemiotics and (3) to an critical theory of the technical civilization of modern capitalism. The paradigm of Portmann ist characterized by the transition of the dualism of nature and culture going beyond cartsianism and the mechanical and functional understanding of causality in science. Man is defined as nature with incoporated spirit. The author of this reconstruction of Portmann’s works explains some autobiographical ways to understand what Portmann means for himself.

Published: March 2023

2022 jährt sich zum vierhundertsten Mal die Geburt eines deutschlandweit in allen Medien gefeierten Heldenkollektivs: die vierhundert Pforzheimer Bürger. Der Opfertod der vierhundert Pforzheimer Bürger, die 1622 in der Schlacht bei Wimpfen im Dreißigjährigen Krieg den Rückzug ihres geschlagenen Markgrafen Georg Friedrich von Baden-Durlach deckten, war bis ins 20. Jahrhundert ein wichtiges Datum im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Deutschen. Das bürgerliche Heldenkollektiv wurde im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert deutschlandweit in Dramen, politischen Reden, Gedichten, Erzählungen und bildkünstlerischen Werken zum frühen Kronzeugen eines Verfassungspatriotismus stilisiert, bevor es in der Moderne als Fiktion entlarvt wurde. Abgesehen von einigen noch heute prominenten Autoren wie Ernst Ludwig Posselt und Georg Büchner sind die meisten literarischen und bildkünstlerischen Zeugnisse inzwischen weitgehend vergessen. Dennoch ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion, dichte Beschreibung und Deutung des Heldenkollektivs unabhängig von seinem historischen Wahrheitsgehalt genaue Einblicke in Genese, Funktion und Dekonstruktion einer Heldenlegende, die weit über die regionalen Aspekte hinausgeht. Somit liefert die Fallstudie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Heldenforschung.
Taufe – Ehe – Tod
Authors: Lehner Eva Marie
Published: March 2023

Mit dem Verzeichnen aller Taufen, Trauungen und Beerdigungen legten Pfarrer im 16. Jahrhundert die ersten Personenstandsregister ihrer Gemeinden an. Im 16. Jahrhundert begannen protestantische und katholische Pfarrer ihre Gemeindemitglieder zu registrieren. Anhand von Taufen, Hochzeiten und Bestattungen verzeichneten sie nicht nur wichtige kirchliche Rituale, sondern legten auch die ersten umfassenden Personenstandsverzeichnisse an: Kirchenbücher. Eva Marie Lehner untersucht damit erstmals die Anfänge der Kirchenbuchführung im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert. Dabei geht sie den möglichen Gründen nach, warum das kirchliche Personal systematisch mit der Dokumentation personenbezogener Daten begann. Zudem zeigt sie auf, welche Kategorien (Geschlecht, Stand, Religion, Ehelichkeit, Körper, Seelenheil usw.) wie aufeinander bezogen wurden, um Personen zu identifizieren. Die Forschungsarbeit macht Unterschiede vormoderner und moderner Kategorien der Personenerfassung sowie deren grundsätzliche Veränderbarkeit und Verhandelbarkeit sichtbar. Damit bietet die Lektüre einen Anreiz, aktuelle Diskussionen um Personendaten und Identität in eine längere historische Entwicklung einzuordnen und besser zu verstehen.
Occupatio Bellica
Authors: Wegner Larissa
Published: March 2023

Die deutsche Okkupation Nordfrankreichs im Ersten Weltkrieg erstmals anhand militärischer Quellen geschildert und kriegsrechtlich eingeordnet. Die Forschungsdiskussion zu den »deutschen Kriegsgräueln« von 1914 verläuft nach wie vor kontrovers. Zum ersten Mal wird nun die deutsche Okkupation Nordfrankreichs im Ersten Weltkrieg anhand der verfügbaren Quellen der militärischen Institutionen detailliert geschildert und kriegsrechtlich eingeordnet. Larissa Wegner zeigt bei der Darstellung der Besatzungszeit, wie der Wirtschaftskrieg zum alles bestimmenden Faktor wurde und die Besatzer das besetzte Gebiet immer rücksichtsloser ausbeuteten. Die übergeordnete Frage ist die nach Gewalt und Gewaltentwicklung in diesem ersten modernen Massenkrieg. Vor dem Hintergrund der völkerrechtlichen Aspekte von Besatzung und ihre Entwicklung seit den 1870er Jahren nimmt die Autorin militärische Gewalt in ihrer Spezifik als grundsätzlich (völker-)rechtlich legitimierte und staatlich sanktionierte Gewaltform in den Blick, die gleichzeitig immer auch von situativen Dynamiken beeinflusst wird. Dabei gewinnt sie grundlegende Erkenntnisse für das immer noch erst in Ansätzen erforschte größere Feld der Besatzungspolitik im Ersten Weltkrieg sowie von Besatzungspraktiken insgesamt.

Authors: Sankombo Marian
Published: March 2023

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a societal problem that may pose significant challenges and unique opportunities not only for the individuals with CP but also for their care givers, families, and siblings. It is the most common pediatric disability causing long-term functional limitations. The impact of CP on parents, families as well as sibling is evident in the level of stress, anxiety and depression envisaged especially on mothers. Siblings of individuals with cerebral palsy also suffers stigmatization that often result in social isolation. The presence of a child with cerebral palsy in any family can pose serious concerns to family relationships. Therefore, it is of utmost important to value the contribution of every family member, parents, siblings towards any planned intervention for a child with CP as they are affected by the disability in one way or another. This chapter explores the impact of CP on individual parent, families. Siblings as well as financial constraints associated with raising a child with CP.

Published: March 2023

Periodontal disease is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease affecting the tooth-supporting apparatus including the gingiva, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament caused by specific microorganisms. Periodontal diseases are among the most widespread diseases in humans and are a major public health problem due to complications caused by early tooth loss. The immunoinflammatory responses initiated by periodontopathogens to protect the host against periodontal infection cause the release of various proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines, i.e., chemokines. Chemokines have been implicated in the immunopathogenesis of periodontal disease and are found in gingival tissue, GCF, plasma, and saliva in periodontal disease. This section aims to summarize the data concerning the role of chemokines in periodontal tissue inflammation.
Effect of Microplastic on the Human Health
Authors: K. Jassim Ahmad
Published: March 2023

Microplastics are defined as a tiny plastic particle with length less than 5 mm that result from commercial product development and the breakdown of larger plastics can be considered as harmful to our environment. The surfaces of plastic tiny fragments can be carrying disease-causing organisms and acts as a vector for diseases. The microplastics can found in water and soil carrying different types of contaminants. The small particles of microplastics serve as carriers for bacteria and persistent organic pollutants, which are considered as biodegradable material that remains active for years. The main definition of microplastics and their source as well as the effect of microplastic waste on the human health with the main solution that helps to eliminate this kind of waste will be explained in this chapter. It was found that the human person eats high quantity of microplastic particles every year through breath air, drinking water, and eating plant crops and animals. On the other hand, sea fish can contain microplastic parts due to drinking and eating sea water with microplastics. Therefore, it is very important to reduce throwing of plastic waste on the ocean and landfill to avoid the effect of microplastic on the human health.
Perspective Chapter: The Female Body as Sites of Power
Authors: Grabowska Barbara
Published: March 2023

The female body was and is involved in politics. The idea of the so-called femininity, including the female body, has political implications. In the past, the weakness of the female body was justified, among other things, by the exclusion of women from the public sphere. Today’s unrealistic ideal imposes on women the (self-)discipline of caring for physical appearance. Your own body becomes a tool of social oppression. Therefore, the emancipation of women requires the unmasking of the alleged naturalness of the female body model. The body can even become an instrument of political struggle.

Authors: Bahrami Alireza , Ameen Arman , Nkweto Henry
Published: March 2023

The energy use of buildings is gradually increasing, which is due to economic growth and an increase in population. Several studies have indicated that the implementation of energy-saving measures (ESMs) such as thermal insulation results in more energy saving; however, most ESMs are not economically viable. This chapter outlines ESMs using the IDA ICE computer software. The evaluation of the energy performance of two multifamily buildings is conducted, and possible ESMs are suggested such as thermal insulation, changing windows, installing a new air handling unit, installing a heat exchanger in showers, improving thermal bridges, replacing lighting bulbs, increasing external insulation plus temperature reduction, and changing schedules for air discharge control. The economic feasibility of these suggestions is assessed using the life cycle cost analysis to determine their economic viability. This involves the determination of the life cycle cost and life cycle cost saving to decide the best option. The most important factor in determining life cycle cost saving is the modified uniform present value. The addition of the attic insulation, installing a heat exchanger in showers, replacing lighting bulbs, and changing schedules meet the economic requirement within a feasible time frame.

Authors: Akhavan Ahmad
Published: March 2023

The food security of human societies has become a major source of worry due to heavy metal contamination in soils and water supplies. Water and soil sources are becoming more and more contaminated with heavy metals every day as a result of the development of several mining techniques and technologies as well as the expansion of numerous enterprises. A career assessment predicts a 7–10% increase in employment for soil and plant scientists between 2018 and 2028. Because the production of wholesome food and the safety of food are very important issues. Therefore, some of the innovative techniques for eliminating organic and mineral contamination from water and soil sources are addressed in this book chapter.
Safe Use of Cortisol for Inflammation Disorders
Authors: I. Stenberg Virgil , L. Baldwin Ann
Published: March 2023

In 1992, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis was proposed to be the inflammation control system of the body. The cortisol pulse that emanates from this axis when activated is the inflammation gatekeeper that terminates short-term, beneficial inflammation at is due time. As the cortisol pulse weakens with age, injury and heredity, the termination becomes incomplete. Then, the residual short-term inflammation evolves into long-term, destructive inflammation within inflammation disorders. In support of the proposal, induced inflammation in normal rats causes a corticosterone pulse. If the proposal were correct, the inflammation disease solution would be to supplement the cortisol pulse at the proper time. Twenty-one (21) participants with rheumatoid arthritis entered a double-blind, crossover study using patient self-administered prednisone. The 18 completing the study averaged a record 75% symptom improvement with no significant side effects. Further, 2428 participants with 38 inflammation disorders entered an open study using patient self-administrated cortisol. The 2015 completing the study averaged 76% symptom improvement with no significant side effects.

This paper seeks to examine the series of development that takes within the Jos metropolis, Nigeria without proper consultation and with permission following the acceptable planning standard. By examining the time of development and examining the process followed to put the development in the location either uphill or low land. The instruments employed were face-to-face interviews and reviews of archived documents on the implementation of master plans and other options to control haphazard development over the past 20 years. The data obtained through the face-to-face interviews and the archive documents were analysed using the thematic and content analyses. The results obtained revealed that the developments have been carried out haphazardly, which was affected by unproved legislation, the plethora of planning authorities covering the planning region. Hence the consideration of the strategies to employ for the implementation of plans concluded with the recommendations to help practitioners, policy makers and academia.
Hydrocephalus in Tuberculous Meningitis
Authors: Adriana Caliman-Sturdza Olga , Cucu Andrei
Published: March 2023

Hydrocephalus is a frequent complication of tuberculous meningitis. We present the incidence of hydrocephalus in patients diagnosed with tuberculosis of the nervous system, the therapeutic possibilities and the evolution of these patients. A consensus definition for tuberculous meningitis (TBM) stratified the cases as definite, probable and possible. In various studies, radiological investigations (CT, MRI) can be normal in the initial stages of the disease in approximately 30% of cases, but they do not exclude the possibility of a TBM. The most common radiological changes found in TBM are communicating hydrocephalus (up to 80% of cases), increased basal contrast (50%), cerebral tuberculomas (30%) and cerebral infarcts (10–40%). MRI has been shown to be more sensitive than a CT scan for diagnosed TBM. Communicating hydrocephalus is among the short-term complications of TBM (approximately 80% of cases), being more frequent than non-communicating ones. In these cases, the need to perform a ventriculo-peritoneal unit must be taken into account. Long-term complications are cognitive impairment, epilepsy, stroke, hydrocephalus, myelitis, damage to the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland manifested by obesity, growth disorders and diabetes insipidus. Sequels may occur frequently in TBM such as dementia, epilepsy, neurological deficits, behavioral disorders, blindness and deafness.
Expanded Hemodialysis Therapy: From the Rational to the Delivery
Authors: Kabbali Nadia , Amal Chouhani Basmat
Published: March 2023

Expanded hemodialysis therapy is a new concept in blood purification technology using a specific membrane with a steep sieving curve characterized by medium membrane cutoff and high retention onset values that are close to but lower than those of albumin. Expanded hemodialysis therapy thereby targets an important pathophysiologic link to many of the sequelae of end-stage renal disease, by improving the clearance of medium to larger-size solutes. The significant internal filtration achieved in these hemodialyzers provides a remarkable convective clearance of medium to high solutes. This therapy does not need specific software or additional complex technology, making its application possible in every setting once the quality of the dialysis fluid is guaranteed to ensure the safe conduct of the dialysis session. The present chapter reviews the rationale for expanded hemodialysis therapy, the potential benefits, and the considerations for prescription and delivery.
Disappearing Community and Preserved Identity: Indigenous Gottscheers in Slovenia
Authors: Šabec Ksenija
Published: March 2023

The chapter is a case study of the indigenous Gottscheers in contemporary Slovenia. They were one of the eldest German ethnic communities outside of German and Austrian territory and the only agrarian German linguistic island on Slovenian territory after the WW1. However, their settlements and cultural landscape and heritage had been wiped out almost entirely due to the Gottscheers’ wartime and postwar emigration/eviction (mainly to the USA and Canada), the WW2, and post-war decay, marginalization, depopulation as well as village and cultural monument destruction and Slovenianization. According to the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s languages in Danger, the Gottscheer language is defined as “critically endangered”. The number of today’s Gottscheers in Slovenia is small, less than 300, or around 1000 including descendants and sympathizers. However, on the other hand, contemporary Association of Cultural Societies of the German Speaking Ethnic Communities in Slovenia as an umbrella organi¬zation of predominantly Styrian Germans aspires to acquire legal minority status for the German-speaking community in Slovenia (including Gottscheers). The aim of the chapter is therefore to detect contemporary perceptions of a marginalized and disappearing Gottscheers’ community and mechanisms to preserve and finally incorporate its identity into the Slovenian (and broader) cultural space and collective memory.
Chlamydia and the Gastrointestinal System
Authors: Alkan Erhan
Published: March 2023

Chlamydiae are intracellular, gram-negative, and prokaryotic microorganisms. Capable of causing disease in many mammalian and avian species, there are three types that cause disease in humans: Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Chlamydia psittaci. Among the chlamydia species, C. trachomatis is the most studied and encountered type because it is a leading cause of trachoma and sexually transmitted diseases. C. trachomatis, a known pathogen of the genital tract, can also be routinely detected in the human gastrointestinal tract. It can infect the enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract. The best-known manner for C. trachomatis to enter the gastrointestinal tract is through oral and anal sex. Most of them are dormant, without causing any infection in the infected person. Chlamydia proctitis is the most well-known disease caused by C. trachomatis in the gastrointestinal tract. In this section, we evaluated the often-overlooked Chlamydia and the gastrointestinal system findings within the gastroenterology practice, the diseases it causes, and the treatments for these diseases.
