Authors: Xuan-Quy Dao , Ngoc-Bich Le , The-Duy Vo , Bac-Bien Ngo , Xuan-Dung Phan
Published: June 2023

This study evaluates the potential and challenges of large langue models (LLMs) for education in chemistry. Specifically, we analyze the performance of two state -of-the art of LLMs, ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing AI Chat, on a quiz dataset consisting of 200 multiple-choice questions in chemistry at the high school level. The results show that ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing AI Chat have limitations in answering questions at the application and high application levels. We also compare the scores of the LLMs models with Vietnamese students, indicating that their performance is still lower than the ability of Vietnamese students. The findings suggest that LLMs have great potential in assisting learning and teaching, but further development is needed to improve their ability to solve complex questions at the high application level.
Investigation of Relationship between Self-Compassion, Extrinsic Motivation, Intrinsic Motivation and Performance: A Research in the Textile Sector
Authors: ASLAN Mecbure
Published: June 2023

The concept of self-compassion is seen as a part of positive psychology and has recently become a current topic in the organizational behavior literature. Self-compassion is an individual's positive, loving and accepting attitude towards oneself. Self-compassion levels of employees in organizations can positively affect their intrinsic motivation and performance regarding their work. It is also predicted that it regulates the relationship between self-compassion, extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. The aim of this study is to examine the relationships and interactions between self-compassion, extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, and performance variables. The interactions between the variables are handled within the scope of the moderating and mediating model. Quantitative research method was used in the research. Data were obtained using the questionnaire technique. Due to accessibility, time and cost constraints, the participants were reached with the convenience sampling method. The sample of the research consists of the employees in the textile businesses in Kahramanmaraş and data were collected from 393 participants. SPSS 25.0 and Process Macro programs were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it was seen that there were positive relations between the variables. With the analysis made to test the established models, it was determined that self-compassion had a moderator role between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. With this, it was found that intrinsic motivation had a partial mediating role in the effect of self-compassion on performance.The findings were discussed in the context of the literature and suggestions were made for future studies.

Published: June 2023

For the past few years, technology has been steadily rising and leading to rapid change in the development process. Information & Communication Technology (ICT) approaches have been moving toward new development trends with a huge elevation of comprehension. Service providers are always seeking customer satisfaction and due to multiple essentials, clients prefer to migrate from one application to another. Newer software applications are being launched, but they are constricted within a defined scope and cannot perform functions of interoperable components. Therefore,the aim of this study is to facilitate clients with multiple services over a single platform and gain knowledge about cloud computing, service computing techniques to enable flexibility and interoperability between applications. This work proposes an STA-Vision19 cloud platform and Service Integration Bridge (SIB) as solutions. To validate methods,abasic prototype for the proposedframework STA-Vision19 andtwo applications E-Learning and Blogging System were implemented. In results, software evaluation parameters, and testing results are discussed, which indicates that the proposed system can collaborate two or more applications and it is beneficial to use as compared to an isolated system.
Notarialny nakaz zapłaty – w stronę prywatyzacji wymiaru sprawiedliwości
Authors: Zembrzuski Tadeusz
Published: June 2023

Sądom przysługuje wyłączność sprawowania wymiaru sprawiedliwości, co ma zapewnić ochronę jednostek i ich praw przed arbitralnością władzy. Zasada sądowego wymiaru sprawiedliwości ma doniosłe znaczenie dla gwarancji praworządności oraz ochrony praw i wolności obywateli. Prawo do sądu nie wyłącza możliwości przekazania sprawy pod osąd innego podmiotu niż sąd w rozumieniu konstytucyjnym, lecz w takim wypadku jest niezbędne stworzenie mechanizmów sądowej kontroli prawidłowości i zasadności dokonanych czynności. Współcześnie stawia się pytania o dopuszczalność i zasadność przekazania innym podmiotom uprawnień należących tradycyjnie do sądów, w tym odnośnie do rozpoznawania spraw cywilnych w ramach konstrukcji odwrócenia sporu. Proponuje się przyznanie notariuszom kompetencji do wydawania nakazów zapłaty. Umocowanie notariusza do dokonywania w postępowaniu pozasądowym czynności zrównanych konstrukcyjnie z wydawaniem orzeczeń nastręcza poważne wątpliwości. Ocena niezbędna do wydania nakazu zapłaty jest uwarunkowana koniecznością ustalenia merytorycznych przesłanek zasadności powództwa. Notariusz nie może być postrzegany jako organ postępowania cywilnego, a podejmowane przez niego czynności nie mają charakteru czynności procesowych. Skutek działań podejmowanych przy udziale notariusza byłby jednak tożsamy ze skutkiem rozpoznania sprawy. Projektowane rozwiązania kolidują z normą z art. 45 Konstytucji RP gwarantującej każdemu prawo do sprawiedliwego i jawnego rozpatrzenia sprawy bez nieuzasadnionej zwłoki przez właściwy, niezależny, bezstronny i niezawisły sąd.
Zasady zaskarżania orzeczeń a ochrona praw jednostki w postępowaniu cywilnym
Authors: Góra-Błaszczykowska Agnieszka
Published: June 2023

Autorka przyjęła, że zasadami zaskarżania orzeczeń są odnoszące się wyłącznie do tego etapu postępowania, niewystępujące na innych jego etapach. Zawężenie katalogu zasad zaskarżania orzeczeń ma istotne znaczenie z punktu widzenia ochrony praw jednostki, bo zapewnia przewidywalność czynności procesowych sądu, wywołanych wniesieniem środka zaskarżenia, a nawet samą zapowiedzią jego wniesienia.

Strona musi wiedzieć, czy w ogóle od wydanego w jej sprawie orzeczenia służy środek zaskarżenia, jaki to środek i w jakim terminie może zostać wniesiony. Pozwala to przewidzieć zachowanie przeciwnika procesowego i oczywiście sądu, który będzie rozpoznawał taki środek.

Poważnym utrudnieniem dla ochrony praw stron i innych podmiotów, na których sytuację prawną ma wpływ orzeczenie, jest bardzo rozbudowany w polskim porządku prawnym katalog nadzwyczajnych środków zaskarżenia. Taka sytuacja nie wpływa pozytywnie na ochronę praw jednostki postępowania cywilnego, budząc jej poważne obawy co do tymczasowości rozwiązania jej problemu prawnego za pomocą orzeczenia sądu
Złożenie wniosku o doręczenie uzasadnienia postanowienia a dopuszczalność zażalenia na postanowienie wydane na posiedzeniu niejawnym w postępowaniu egzekucyjnym
Authors: Cieślak Sławomir
Published: June 2023

Na aprobatę zasługuje teza SN, według której „Złożenie wniosku o sporządzenie uzasadnienia i doręczenie postanowienia z uzasadnieniem nie stanowi przesłanki dopuszczalności zażalenia na postanowienie, o którym mowa w art. 766 § 1 k.p.c.”
Pewne zastrzeżenia można sformułować do poglądu wyrażonego w uzasadnieniu glosowanej uchwały. Na mocy nowelizacji ustawy doszło do nadmiernego zaostrzenia formalizmu procesowego przez wprowadzenie dodatkowego warunku dopuszczalności środków odwoławczych, jakim jest złożenie wniosku o sporządzenie i doręczenie orzeczenia z uzasadnieniem. W celu zagwarantowania realizacji standardu ochrony prawnej przewidzianego w art. 78 i 176 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP należy przyjąć, że niezależnie od tego, czy wadliwej czynności, polegającej na żądaniu doręczenia orzeczenia z uzasadnieniem, dokonuje pełnomocnik profesjonalny czy też strona niezastępowana przez takiego pełnomocnika, przejawienie woli zaskarżenia orzeczenia sądu pierwszej instancji w terminie do złożenia wniosku o doręczenie jego uzasadnienia powinno prowadzić albo do potraktowania go jako wniosku o to doręczenie, albo do wezwania wnoszącego pismo do usunięcia braku formalnego przez precyzyjne sformułowanie żądania zawartego w piśmie procesowym.

Published: June 2023

Disability means a physical, intellectual or sensory disability, permanent or temporary nature, which limits the ability to perform one or more activities. It is characterized as complex, dynamic and multidisciplinary. They are affected by poor health outcomes, lower educational attainment, lower economic participation, higher poverty rates, greater dependency and restriction on participation and inclusion. Racism is a behavior that is the result of aversion, hatred, towards people who have a racial resemblance that it is possible to observe, through traits such as skin color, hair type, it results from the belief in the existence of superior human races or types and inferior, in an attempt to impose itself as unique or true. Life Quality results from the relationship between biological, social and psychological factors and also from the integration between the individual and society, being transformed according to the period of life and the socio-cultural environment in which the individual is inserted. In terms of Brazil, the existence of these two situations can be noted that are subject to assistance from the public authorities, such as the quota laws for disabled people and for races the black, brown and indigenous. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect for race, disability and the interaction between race and disability for the variable’s education, income and gender through a comparative study using descriptive analysis and experimental design for the 2010 Demographic Census data and that can contribute to a better life quality for these groups.

Simple models for macro-parasite distributions in hosts
Authors: Lopez Gonzalo , Aparicio Juan
Published: June 2023

The Negative binomial distribution is the most used distribution to model macro-parasite burden in hosts. However, reliable maximum likelihood parameter estimation from data is far from trivial. No closed formula is available and numerical estimation requires sophisticated methods. Using data from the literature, we show that simple alternatives to negative binomial, like zero-inflated geometric or hurdle geometric distributions, produce in some cases a better fit to data than the negative binomial distribution. We derived simple closed formulas for the maximum likelihood parameter estimators which constitutes a significant advantage of these distributions over the negative binomial distribution.

Фактори зовнішнього середовища, що впливають на стан просторової організації тіла сучасної людини
Authors: Aloshyna Alla , Romaniuk Valentyna , Petrovych Viktoriya
Published: June 2023

Актуальність теми дослідження. Згідно з даними спеціальної літератури, просторову організацію тіла розуміють як єдність морфологічної, біомеханічної та функціональної організації людини, що відбивається в її «габітусі». Просторова організація тіла характеризується біогеометричним профілем постави, біомеханікою стопи, формою тілобудови, пропорціями й типом конституції, топографією сил різних м’язових груп. Розпов- сюдження порушень просторової організації тіла серед осіб працездатного віку зумовило підвищений інтерес науковців до цього питання. Мета статті – вивчення та систематизація факторів, зовнішнього середовища, що впливають на стан просторової організації тіла сучасної людини. Методи дослідження. Теоретичний аналіз спеціальної літератури передбачав використання низки таких методів, як реконструкція, аперципіювання, аспективний аналіз, герменевтичний та критичний аналіз. Результати роботи. На стан просторової організації тіла людини безпосередньо впливає зовнішнє середовище. Повсюдне впровадження автоматизації й механізації трудомістких робіт сприяє скороченню сфери застосування ручної праці. Однак є чимало професій, де робота пов’язана з величезною фізичною напругою, що негативно впливає на хребет, який відіграє роль опорного майданчика. Несприятливо відображається тривале перебування у вимушеному становищі (за письмовим столом, у машині, постійна або тривала напруга у випадку «стоячих професій»), а також неправильна поза тулуба та некоординована робота м’язів під час піднімання й перенесення вантажів. Сьогодні на проблему «комп’ютерних синдромів», що виникають (зорового, тунельного або синдрому зап’ясткового каналу, синдрому тривалого статичного навантаження), звернули увагу педагоги, психологи, ергономісти, фахівці фізичної куль- тури. Аналіз науково-методичної літератури вказує на необхідність програмування корекційно-профілактичних занять, спрямованих на корекцію порушень постави, підвищення рівня стану біогеометричного профілю постави у фронтальній та сагітальній площинах, підвищення рівня фізичної підготовленості осіб зрілого віку.

Published: June 2023

La preparación psicológica para la escuela es un término elaborado desde el modelo histórico-cultural. Se trata de la adquisición de las formaciones psicológicas propias de la edad preescolar. Los adultos cercanos influyen esencialmente sobre el nivel del desarrollo de las neoformaciones a través de la inclusión del niño en las actividades accesibles y relevantes. La elección de estas actividades depende de las concepciones que tengan los adultos acerca del contenido de la preparación para la escuela. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las acciones que realizan los padres de familia para preparar al niño para la escuela. El estudio se realizó a partir de la aplicación de entrevistas que se aplicaron en línea debido a la pandemia COVID 19. Los datos señalan que las concepciones y acciones de los padres no permiten garantizar el nivel óptimo de preparación del niño para la escuela. Se discute que los padres de familia requieren de una guía que los oriente el desarrollo psicológico de sus hijos.

Authors: Mendoza Vigil Karina , Salazar Jasso Aileen Azucena
Published: June 2023

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo conocer las percepciones que los adolescentes construyen en torno a la crianza adoptado por los padres y su socialización escolar. Para su comprensión, se abordó desde bases conceptuales de la Teoría del Desarrollo Cognitivo de Piaget y la Teoría Sociocultural de Lev Vygotsky. El diseño es de carácter cualitativo, y se empleó la entrevista semiestructurada como herramienta de recolección de datos. Los sujetos participantes corresponden a estudiantes adolescentes de nivel secundaria de edades entre 12 y 15 años que conformaron dos grupos de estudio: adolescentes con registros escolares sobre problemas de socialización escolar, y adolescentes que no presentaban dichos registros. Las conclusiones muestran qué características de la crianza por parte de los padres coadyuvan al aprendizaje de los hijos respecto a las formas de relacionarse, por lo que estas pueden observarse representadas en la socialización de los adolescentes en otros escenarios, como lo es el ambiente escolar. El estudio evidenció la importancia de aspectos como la disciplina, la comunicación y el afecto dentro de la dinámica familiar como elementos relacionados a la socialización de los adolescentes, manifestando que las características relacionales de los adolescentes con sus padres influyen en las emociones y pensamientos que guían el comportamiento de los adolescentes en otros escenarios sociales como la escuela.

Introduction: Disruptions of the postgraduate (PG) teaching programmes by COVID-19 have encouraged a transition to virtual methods of content delivery. This provided an impetus to evaluate the coverage of key learning goals by a pre-existing PG didactic programme in an Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialty Training Programme. We describe a three-phase audit methodology that was developed for this
Methods: We performed a retrospective audit of the PG programme conducted by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at National University Hospital, Singapore between January and December 2019 utilising a ten-step Training Needs Analysis (TNA). Content of each session was reviewed and mapped against components of the 15 core Knowledge Areas (KA) of the Royal College of Obstetrics & Gynaecology membership (MRCOG) examination syllabus.
Results: Out of 71 PG sessions, there was a 64.9% coverage of the MRCOG syllabus. Four out of the 15 KAs were inadequately covered, achieving less than 50% of knowledge requirements. More procedural KAs such as “Gynaecological Problems” and those related to labour were poorly (less than 30%) covered. Following the audit, these identified gaps were addressed with targeted strategies.
Conclusion: Our audit demonstrated that our pre-pandemic PG programme poorly covered core educational objectives i.e. the MRCOG syllabus, and required a systematic realignment. The COVID-19 pandemic, while disruptive to our PG programme, created an opportunity to analyse our training needs and revamp our virtual PG programme.

Briquettes are ecological firewood, derived from the drying and pressing under pressure and high temperature of sawdust and wood dust. In recent decades, the search for sustainability and the green economy has increased significantly. As a result, several studies and scientific projects have been designed to increase energy production from renewable sources. The present work aimed to estimate the energy efficiency of burning briquettes in wood ovens. Aiming to compare its efficiency with the burning of conventional firewood in pizzeria ovens, at an ideal temperature. Considering the amount of fuel used, temperature, storage space and cost-effectiveness. It has been proven that briquettes have greater calorific power and are more likely to release energy, which results in greater yields in less time. The humidity of the briquettes is relatively low, which means that its consumption is lower than that of firewood.

One of the problems of creating processes for local communities is how to organize collective actions for artisanal production, commonly carried out to generate income in these contexts. To resolve this issue, tools are sought to improve systems. For this, this article has the question “how can Design act on the organization of local productions, to achieve Sustainability?”. Thus, it brings the identification of contributions of Strategic Design to the stimulation of communities acting in collectives to generate income, related to sustainable development. The selected method was the narrative bibliographic review, combined with databases used by graduate programs in Design. As a result, recommendations were found for collective practices, to achieve the Social Dimension of Sustainability, discussing planning, which unites the vernacular knowledge of artisanal production with the systemic organization of Design.
Architecture for sustainable behavior: analysis of constructions through the vernacular typology and bioconstruction
Authors:   UNISINOS - UNIVERSIDADE DO VALE DO RIO DOS SINOS, Bertei Angela Costella
Published: June 2023

Vernacular architecture can be defined as a typology that considers the local or regional character, in which materials and resources from the environment where the building is inserted are used. Bioconstruction, in turn, in addition to considering parameters such as adequacy to local conditions, evaluates waste treatment and employs constructive techniques with low environmental impact in order to build sustainable buildings. Using applied, qualitative, descriptive and bibliographical research, we sought to unite both concepts, correlate them with obtaining sustainable seals and also investigate their contributions to encourage sustainability in architectural projects. It was concluded, therefore, that vernacular architecture and bioconstruction are already being resumed and put into practice in contemporany building, thus showing that they are capable of encouraging architecture for sustainable behavior.

Climate Change is increasingly being considered in public and private institutions’ strategies. It can negatively affect people’s lives and businesses, but also create opportunities. In the state of Minas Gerais, the Environmental State Foundation (FEAM)) has developed a tool that measures municipalities’ climate change vulnerability, linking factors of exposure and sensitivity to damages, as well as adaptation capacity. In this study, a fund was designed aiming to operationalize Payment for Environmental Services as a mechanism to remunerate landowners in municipalities that have extreme climate vulnerability, with the objective of collecting financial resources from companies interested in investing in sustainability and allocating the balance of this transaction to these municipalities. In return, companies would generate carbon credits that can be sold in the market, creating revenue,improving corporate reputation and increasing social and environmental impact of their businesses.

Erysipelas is often related to lymphedema, which can occur in up to 60% of cases, with advanced age, radiotherapy, tumor extension, surgical approach, and infections as risk factors. The aim of this study was to present and discuss a series of cases of erysipelas after breast cancer surgery treated in a private mastology clinic over the past ten years. This is a retrospective horizontal cohort study in which we selected all cases of erysipelas after breast cancer surgery from 2009 to 2019. The following were evaluated: number of patients treated with a diagnosis of breast carcinoma with axillary approach, age, surgery performed, adjuvant treatment and treatment of erysipelas, presence of lymphedema, and measurement of circumferences between both arms and associated diseases. A total of 12 cases of breast cancer were treated. In 66.66% of cases, a radical axillary lymphadenectomy was performed, and in 16.66% of cases, only a sentinel lymph node investigation was performed. The average age was 67.6 years. Erysipelas appeared, on average, 43 months after cancer diagnosis. Two deaths were reported due to severe erysipelas leading to sepsis. More studies are still needed on the subject. Of the 12 cases in this study, eight (66.66%) were associated with lymphedema. Only two (16.66%) of the patients in this group who developed erysipelas were not submitted to axillary dissection. The treatment for 50% of the participants in this research was with penicillin G benzathine. There were three relapses, and two patients died during the research period.

Brosimum alicastrum Swarts. (conocido localmente como ramón) es una especie del bosque tropical con importancia para el sector alimentario; por tanto, estudiar sus características fisio-técnicas es fundamental. Se determinó la proporción de sexos en tres poblaciones adultas del estado de Yucatán. La primera plantación comprendió un total de 312 individuos, 208 machos y 104 hembras; el segundo, 45 árboles masculinos y 29 femeninos (74 árboles) y el tercero, 41 machos y 29 hembras (70 árboles). En promedio, 64% de los árboles eran machos y 34% hembras. En una plantación separada (50 árboles) establecida ad hoc, 30% de los árboles comenzaron a producir flores siete años después del trasplante, 38% lo hicieron después de 8 años, 28% a los nueve años y 4% a los 10 años, 33 (66%) de los árboles eran machos y 17 (34%) hembras. El experimento comprendió de 2009 a 2019 y no se registraron cambios de sexo durante este tiempo. La producción media de semillas de árboles adultos fue de 145.6 kg árbol-1 año-1. Se realizó un experimento paralelo para dar seguimiento a la retención de hojas, éstas permanecieron en la copa durante más de 40 meses (1 217 días). Adicionalmente se midió el contenido de reguladores del crecimiento vegetal que podrían usarse como marcadores moleculares para seleccionar hembras. Los árboles hembras mostraron mayor contenido de ácido giberélico y citocininas que los árboles machos. La diferencia en el contenido de citocininas entre ambos sexos alcanzó 500%.

Las enfermedades fúngicas representan una de las causas de pérdidas en cultivos anualmente. Rhizoctonia solani es un hongo patógeno de distribución mundial asociado a enfermedades de raíces y tubérculos de diferentes cultivos; ocasiona pérdidas económicas importantes en plantas perennes y anuales, incluyendo casi todos los cultivos hortícolas. Para mitigar las pérdidas por hongo se ha usado fungicidas de origen sintético; sin embargo, muchas de estas sustancias están asociadas a carcinogenicidad y son tóxicas para el ambiente. Los hongos macromicetos comestibles son una fuente de compuestos antifúngicos para controlar enfermedades en cultivos agrícolas. Este trabajo evaluó la actividad antifúngica de extractos de hongos comestibles (Lactarius deliciosus, Ustilago maydis, Amanita jacksonii y Amanita rubescens) contra el fitopatógeno R. solani por medio de tres técnicas: difusión de pozos, discos y dilución en placa. Los resultados muestran que con la difusión de pozos no se observó ningún efecto sobre el crecimiento de R. solani con los extractos alcohólicos y sus diluciones. Mientras con la difusión de discos se observó un crecimiento más lento de manera cualitativa en comparación con los controles de R. solani con el extracto etanólico de A. jacksonii y en su dilución 1:1 de metanol-agua. En la dilución en placa se encontró que la dilución etanol-agua 1:1 de L. deliciosus tuvo 88% de inhibición sobre el crecimiento de R. solani, seguido del extracto de etanol de L. deliciosus (65%), extracto de metanol de U. maydis (63%) y extracto de metanol de L. deliciosus (57%). Por lo cual, los extractos y la dilución se deben estudiar a mayor profundidad, al ser probados en un sistema in vivo e identificar los metabolitos secundarios presentes.

Prezados leitores, esta obra é fruto de um estudo acerca das atitudes de homens frente ao diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS. Nesse cenário, as vivências e enfrentamentos no universo masculino em relação ao HIV/AIDS podem variar bastante de acordo com diversos fatores, como cultura, contexto social, acesso a recursos e informações, bem como o próprio processo de individualização de cada pessoa. No entanto, existem alguns aspectos comuns que podem ser mencionados, tais como o estigma e percebido, a saúde sexual e a prevenção, o acesso ao tratamento e ao cuidado, o apoio social, dentre outros fatores.
É importante lembrar que as vivências e enfrentamentos individuais podem ser bastante diversos. Além disso, com os avanços nos tratamentos e na educação contínua, muitos homens vivendo com HIV/AIDS conseguem levar vidas saudáveis, produtivas e experimentadas, desafiando estereótipos e superando dificuldades. Diante desse cenário, esta obra visa descrever a vivência dos enfrentamentos do universo masculino frente ao diagnóstico de HIV/ AIDS.

Background: In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the health crisis left in its wake, our goal is to develop extensive machine-learning techniques to provide a clear picture of the treatment, and possible mistreatment, of specific patient demographics during hospital triaging. Objective: We aim to reveal whether a patient’s treatment and hospital disposition is related to the following attributes - Emergency Severity Index (ESI), gender, employment status, insurance status, race, or ethnicity which our 100 MB dataset included. Materials and methods: Our work is separated into two parts - the classification task and data analysis. As part of the classification task, we used the k-Nearest-Neighbor classifier, the F1-score, and a random forest. We then analyze the data using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values to determine the importance of each attribute. Results: Our findings show that significance varies for each attribute. Notably, we found that patients with private insurance programs receive better treatment compared to patients with federal-run healthcare programs (e.g. Medicaid, Medicare). Furthermore, a patient’s ethnicity has a greater impact on treatment for patients under 40 years of age for any given ESI level. Surprisingly, our findings show language is not a barrier during treatment. Discussion and conclusion: We, therefore, conclude that although hospitals may not be doing so intentionally, there is a systemic bias in hospital triaging for specific patient demographics. For future works, we hope to aggregate additional patient data from hospitals to find whether specific demographics of patients receive better healthcare in different parts of the United States.
Dorsal intraspinal B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in two patients
Authors: Patricia Alejandra Garrido Ruiz , Marta Román Garrido
Published: June 2023

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is rarely diagnosed as spinal cord compression syndrome. Caused by an epidural mass, this complication is often encountered in the late stage of the disease. We report two cases presenting symptoms of low thoracic spinal cord compression due to an epidural tumor on the MRI. Possible complications that may occur and how to prevent adverse events during surgery are essential. This case is of special interest for being a low-incidence pathology in a rare location. The case is of high interest because of the importance of resecting the lesion to prevent sequels and the complexity of its management and highlights the importance of considering the diagnosis of this event.

Megalomaniac or Narcissist? Re-examining the Leadership Style of Huey P. Long through Sport
Authors: Seifried Chad , Katz Matthew , Pfleegor Adam G.
Published: June 2023

Former governor (1928-1932) and U.S. senator (1932-1935) of Louisiana Huey P. Long has been described by contemporaries as a megalomaniac, demagogue, and skillful manipulator due to his immense drive for power and propensity for monument building. His involvement with the building campaign at the Louisiana State University, and in particular the sport and recreation venues housed on the campus (e.g., Tiger Stadium and the Huey P. Long Field House), serve as an exemplar of his willingness to construct large and ornate facilities that proudly support his name. By first reviewing the differences between megalomania and narcissism as distinct negative leadership styles and then combining that with a historical analysis of Long’s behaviors and various political and financial maneuvers involving sport before his death in 1935, this study suggests we should reposition Long’s leadership classification from a megalomaniac to narcissist.
