The challenges of installing Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in a low- or poor-income resource nation: Our experience in a teaching hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Kogha Nicholas  , Emuoghenerue Onoriode Ekokidolor  , Eberegwa Eguono  , Anyanwu Ebiringa Blaise
Published: July 2024

The practice of radiology as a subspecialty of medicine has undergone remarkable advancement as a result of picture archiving and communication Systems(PACS) technology. This technology allows for storage and retrieval of radiographic images and reports at any time, and possible transfer to other locations for secondary viewing and opinions. PACS enables healthcare professionals to access and review medical images quickly, allowing for faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. However, there are challenges involved in its installation and operations in our health facility, a teaching hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa. These challenges range from lack of huge financial resources required to acquire PACS equipment and accessories to lack of steady and regular electric power supply. Other challenges include inadequate dedicated space for its installation, inadequate functional cooling systems for its sensitive components, inadequate internet services for end users and paucity of qualified and trained personnel. There is, therefore, need for increased government and private sector funding in order to surmount these challenges, thereby enhancing health promotion in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Listening and speaking: The lost and found voices of women survivors of sexual violence
Authors: O’Dell Lindsay , Reavey Paula
Published: July 2024

In this paper, there are two interlinking issues to be addressed in relation to women survivors of sexual violence. The first issue to be raised relates to the way in which psychological and scientific research on the ‘effects’ of sexual violence speaks for women. This is partly due to the various deployments of positivistic methods that often predetermine how women should talk about experiences of sexual violence. Alternatively, some versions of self-help and feminist theory have promoted a version of survivorhood which implies sameness among women. The second issue to be addressedrelates to recent debates that seek to document the way in which sexual violence is experienced and researched. In the paper it will be argued that ‘experience’ is situated in a wider climate of therapeutic, self-help and everyday cultural practices that produce particular versions of experience and voice. Our aim is to critically examine the utility of these practices in order to explore issues of identity, gender and power.
In conversation with… Marvina Newton
Authors: Jankowski Glen
Published: July 2024

Marvina Newton is the founder of the Leeds-based charity: Angel of Youths, a community project that empowers young people, particularly those from marginalised groups, to give back to their communities. Marvina presented a keynote at POWS’ and the Centre for Applied Social Research’s ‘Gendered Bodies in Visible Spaces’ day held at Leeds Beckett University, June, 2015. Marvina’s talk, ‘The Regulation of the Black Body’, documented how Black women’s appearances face heavy regulation, whether via their hair being too Afro, their skin too dark or bodies too thick. This regulation enacted at all levels of society including institutionally and interper- sonally, is ongoing today despite neoliberal claims otherwise. Marvina showed how this was just one form of racism and sexism Black women face. Her keynote emphasised the need for intersectional justice work that got outside of the ivory tower and into communities. She works in Leeds and can be found on twitter at @MajesticMarvina and emailed atmarvina@angelsofyouth.com. Glen Jankowski interviews her about this talk and her ongoing work.

Published: July 2024

Geochemistry of the late Cretaceous Pab Sandstone deposited at the Laki Range, Southern Indus basin, was carried out in order to acquire a better knowledge of the source rock and paleoclimate. The unit in the studied region comprise predominantly sandstone, with some mudstone. The major element geochemistry of Pab Sandstone suggests that the samples were composed of abundant SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and Fe2O3.  Other major oxides comprises less than 2 wt. %. Major element discriminatory diagrams additionally imply that Pab sediments originated from a granitic source. The idea that the Pab sediments were generated by a granitic source is further supported by the rich concentration of trace elements including Zr, La Th, Ba, and Sr, in contrast to V, Ni, Cr, Co, and their ratio. It is conceivable that the Pab Sandstone was formed by sediments from granitic rocks, as indicated by the La/Sc and Th/Co model, as well as the TiO2 and Zr plots. The measured Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA) values, which range from 59.94 to 89.44, and the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA), which ranges from 61.12 to 83.75, indicate that the studied sediments experienced moderate to strong weathering under warm, humid climate conditions. Geochemical findings indicate that the Pab Sandstone sediments originated from the vast Indian Shield (Craton); probably from the Malani Igneous Suite in India and the Nagar Parkar Igneous Complex in Pakistan.

Identidad(es)
Authors: Tabares Valeria
Published: July 2024

La identidad se supone como ese juego entre pertenecer y diferenciarse que se mezcla entre lo personal y lo colectivo, entre la auto definición y la percepción del otro. Es un constructo inacabado que se encuentra en constante mutación, alimentado y afectado por las relaciones dadas con otros individuos y el territorio, es decir que a lo largo de la vida una persona puede vivenciar múltiples identidades. Sin embargo, existe una primera identidad que es asignada y se concreta con todo lo que es anterior al nacimiento de dicha persona, es decir, su contexto sociocultural y aunque pueda cambiar en el transcurso de la vida esta “primera identidad” se queda como una base firme sobre la cual se elaboran las mutaciones mencionadas.
Gracias a lo anterior es posible afirmar que la identidad es una construcción no anatómica, pues nace de ideales, experiencias y el territorio habitado, más el constructo de identidad, la cual, sí afecta el cuerpo anatómico e incluso se vale de extensiones de este como lo es la indumentaria que es quien finalmente día a día hace a ese cuerpo anatómico apto para la sociedad. La moda nunca ha estado alejada del desarrollo identitario, haciendo relevante analizar cómo está se acercó con más determinación en el siglo XX a partir de múltiples movimientos ideológicos estéticos que marcaron un antes y un después en las maneras de búsqueda y exposición identitaria.

Introduction: High mobility group box (HMGB)-1 protein is a promising prognostic marker for predicting the course of retinopathy and the prognosis in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The aim of this study is to investigate whether serum HMGB-1 protein levels can be used as a biomarker about the severity of the disease in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Material and methods: This study was carried out in the internal medicine and ophthalmology departments of the Gaziantep Medicalpark Hospital. The records of 50 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic retinopathy and 47 healthy subjects who applied to our clinic between January 2016 and December 2018 were retrospectively scanned. Five cc of venous blood was taken from the patients, and control groups were included in the study for routine laboratory tests and serum HMGB-1 levels to be studied under appropriate conditions. Human HMGB-1 levels were measured using the ELISA method. Results: There was a significant difference among the groups in terms of HMGB-1 levels (p<0.001) (Table-1). There was a positive correlation between blood glucose and HMGB-1 in the diabetic retinopathy group (Spearman's rho (ρ)=0.07). Similarly, there was a positive correlation between HbA1c and HMGB-1 levels in the diabetic retinopathy group. (Spearman's rho (ρ)=0.06). Conclusions: Our study suggests that HMGB-1 may be a useful biomarker in managing DR, aiding in the prediction and treatment of microvascular complications.

Este estudo teve como objetivo estimar a herdabilidade de características morfométricas e suas correlações fenotípicas e genéticas com características de carcaça de bovinos machos da raça Nelore com o intuito de predizer a qualidade da carcaça por um método mais acessível. Informações de peso e medidas morfométricas foram coletadas em cinco idades (335, 391, 448, 504 e 560 dias), e as características da carcaça foram coletadas in vivo aos 560 dias de idade com equipamento de ultrassom de 200 machos da raça Nelore puros. Os animais foram pesados e 11 medidas morfométricas foram coletadas, bem como as características de carcaça área do músculo longissimus dorsi (LMA), espessura de gordura na picanha (BF), espessura de gordura na garupa (RF) e cobertura de gordura (FC). As estimativas dos componentes de (co)variância e dos parâmetros genéticos foram obtidas pela metodologia de máxima verossimilhança restrita (REML), utilizando o modelo animal. As estimativas moderadas de herdabilidade (h2) para LMA (0,28) e RF (0,36) indicaram que a seleção para essas características pode trazer bons resultados aumentando a qualidade da carcaça dos animais. As correlações genéticas entre medidas morfométricas e características de carcaça indicaram que o uso dessas características para seleção indireta de carcaça não seria eficiente, sendo mais efetivo a seleção direta, pelo uso das características mensuradas com ultrassonografia.  Os resultados demonstraram que o peso pode ser usado para melhorar a LMA dos animais.

The cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is well adapted to high temperatures, water deficits and low fertility soils, being widely cultivated in regions less favorable to common beans. Its grains are rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, representing an important food source and a promising alternative for producing protein at low cost, in a short space of time, given the precocity of its cycle. However, in the state of Minas Gerais there is only a recommendation for one cowpea cultivar, the Poços de Caldas cultivar. In addition to being quite old, it is no longer found in crop production fields. The aims of study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of cowpea cultivars and to recommend cultivars adapted to cultivation in edaphoclimatic conditions of Southwest Region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The experiments were carried out in Passos city, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, during the first crop period, in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 years, with 10 commercial cowpea cultivars, in a randomized block experimental design, with five replications. The mass of a thousand seeds and the grain index correlated directly with the yield. Cultivars with the lowest grain yields promoted the highest pod lengths and number of grains per pod. The best morphophysiological results for cowpea were obtained in 2021/2022 year. The most adapted cowpea cultivars for period of first crop in edaphoclimatic conditions of Southwest Region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were BRS Novaera, BRS Guariba, and BRS Xique-Xique and least indicated was BRS Marataoã. More studies are needed to consolidate cowpea cultivation in the Southwest Region of Minas Gerais, mainly in second-crop crops.

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates that 18,857,311 non-invasive aesthetic procedures were carried out worldwide in 2022. This represents an increase of 7.2% compared to 2021 and 57.8% compared to 2018. Brazil is the second country in the world, just behind the United States, in the number of aesthetic procedures, with 3,020,552. Of these, 971,294 were non-invasive, with the administration of botulinum toxin, at 433,263, being the most frequent procedure. In aesthetics, it is used for the treatment of facial asymmetries, expression lines, hyperhidrosis in the hands, feet, armpits, face, and inguinal region, and in the treatment of gummy smile, attenuation of forehead wrinkles, perioral wrinkles, mental creases, glabellar lines, periorbital wrinkles, nasal wrinkles, wrinkles found on the décolletage, nasal tip stabilization, drooping lips, eyebrow lifting, and platysma bands. The most common adverse reactions associated with the use of botulinum toxin are burning, pain, swelling, irritation at the application sites, hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis in extreme cases, blurred vision, dry mouth, rarely respiratory failure, and muscle weakness. The objective of the study was to describe the adverse events (AEs) reported in the Vigimed system between 2019 and 2022. In the period analyzed, only 50 possible AEs were reported, with the female gender and the age group of 18 to 44 years being the most frequent. The pharmaceutical industry was responsible for 82% of the notifications analyzed, however, when evaluating the reporting professional, it was observed that pharmacists reported in only 8% of the cases. When evaluating the most reported AEs, swelling and pain were the most frequent, at 30% and 24% respectively. The underreporting of these events and the need for public and private incentives to raise awareness among health professionals and users about the need for identification and reporting of AEs is clear.

L’indifférence à la chose publique : symptôme de la corruption politique ?
Authors: Orbe Arteaga David Octavio
Published: July 2024

La notion contemporaine de corruption apparaît fortement liée à une perspective juridico-normative fondée sur la violation d’une norme juridique ou d’un devoir attaché à l’exercice d’une charge publique pour l’obtention d’un bénéfice ou avantage privé. Or, une telle perspective éclipse la polysémie de la corruption, manifeste dans l’antiquité gréco-romaine attachée aux dimensions physique, pathologique, religieuse, morale et politique de ce phénomène. La présente contribution propose ainsi une approche différente qui consiste à reprendre des éléments d’une perspective pathologique et politique développée dans l’Antiquité, de manière à considérer la corruption comme une maladie du corps politique. Nous essayerons de réfléchir aux symptômes d’une telle maladie à partir d’une interprétation de la notion de chose publique cicéronienne centrée sur l’analyse des liens politiques constitutifs du corps politique afin de montrer que la corruption représente l’affaiblissement de l’engagement civique exprimé par l’indifférence à la chose publique.
Une vigilance inquiète : Marie de Hongrie et la défense des Pays-Bas en 1541
Authors: Dejonckheere Jules
Published: July 2024

Cet article examine l’activité politique épistolaire de Marie d’Autriche, reine douairière de Hongrie et gouvernante générale des Pays-Bas habsbourgeois au prisme d’une émotion : la peur. Le point d’observation choisi est celui de l’année 1541, période précédant la neuvième guerre d’Italie (1542-1546) et caractérisée par une intensification des tensions entre Charles Quint et François Ier. Dans ce climat politique, Marie de Hongrie gouverne non sans inquiétude. En effet, le champ lexical de ce sentiment innerve sa correspondance. Par conséquent, afin d’en saisir le sens, l’expression de la peur sera appréhendée dans sa triple dimension : d’abord, comme la manifestation concrète d’un danger politique existant, ensuite comme le catalyseur d’une activité politique prudente et enfin comme un dispositif rhétorique dans lequel la mise en scène de ses affects participent à la reconnaissance de ses besoins.

Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia: Constructing Hybrid Transnational Communities
Authors:   , Dewanto Pamungkas Ayudaning
Published: July 2024

This dissertation interrogates the transnational lives of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia by examining the multitudes of social fields that emerged between Malaysia and Indonesia. While migrant workers in Malaysia have been depicted as weak and precariat, migrant workers do not necessarily lose their agency. Building upon the literature on transnationalism, transnational social protection, and transnational advocacy networks, this project argues that migrant workers have formed hybrid transnational communities that play an important role in shaping migrant’s agency not only as an economic migrant but also what I call ‘acti-preneur’. These hybrid transnational communities merged various social fields such as advocacy, culture, and politics. Through their engagement in these communities, migrants have created a self-help support system that facilitates their process of settling in Malaysia amidst their temporary status. In reaching such an argumentation, this project was done through a series of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia and Indonesia between 2015 and 2020. The researcher has continuously engaged with both migrating and non-migrating actors in the two locations to capture the transnational contacts between them.

The field of negative stiffness metamaterials (NSM) is a rapidly developing area within the realm of mechanical metamaterials. This work presents a novel negative stiffness metamaterial based on a bistable structure that consists of a straight beam with an elastic element shaped like a ring. Further, this work presents the findings of a Taguchi-based experiment aimed at optimizing geometrical parameters in negative stiffness metamaterial. The Taguchi method, known for its efficiency in experimental design and analysis, was employed to systematically study the effects of various factors on snapping force for a novel structure exhibiting negative stiffness. The experiment utilized L18 mixed level orthogonal array. All the test samples were fabricated using additive manufacturing technique. Signal-to-noise ratio analysis and analysis of variance were two statistical approaches that were used to comprehensively evaluate the acquired data. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the optimal geometrical configuration for maximizing snapping force of negative stiffness metamaterial.

This study investigates the efficacy of ZnCl2 as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel across varied pH environments (3.5, 7, and 10). Findings highlight a significant reduction in corrosion rates with increasing ZnCl2 concentrations, pinpointing optimal levels at 350 ppm (pH 3.5), 575 ppm (pH 7), and 325 ppm (pH 10). Through comprehensive experimental analyses, the study robustly validates the protective capacity of the inhibitor, shedding light on its practical application in safeguarding metallic materials amidst varying pH conditions. ZnCl2 will be applied as a solution, forming a protective layer on the surface of mild steel, thereby acting as a barrier against corrosive agents. The study's originality lies in its specific exploration of ZnCl2 efficiency under varied pH conditions, emphasizing its substantial contribution to corrosion protection in different environmental settings.

For a ship, both synchronous and parametric roll motions can be modelled by nonlinear second-order differential equations with the roll angle as dependent variable and the nonlinearities coming from the damping and restoring moments. In the absence of exact solution techniques, approximate solutions for such equations can be obtained, in principle, analytically or numerically. In this paper, we focused on a fast and accurate recursive scheme based on the segmentation of the time domain into a fine grid of intervals of equal lengths. Due to the smallness of each time subinterval, a reset of the terms of the initial nonlinear equation of motion allows replacing it with a linear one in which the constant coefficients represent approximate values of the former variable coefficients in the middle of each subinterval. The linear equation is solved via the Laplace transform and the resulting solution together with its first derivatives is used to generate the iterative algorithm. This technique was applied to the case of two typical roll equations. The first describes the synchronous roll of a vehicle ferry model equipped or not with bilge keels while the second estimates the parametric roll of a container ship model. In both cases, the analyzed recursive algorithm not only generated results in full agreement with those provided by the ode45 solver in Matlab but also lead to a gain in computation time and offered more flexibility in imposing some restrictive conditions associated, for example, with exceeding some oscillation amplitudes or to the ship capsizing.

Objetivo: Sumarizar informações conhecidas sobre a aplicabilidade da Estimulação Cerebral Profunda (ECP) em pacientes portadores de Síndrome de Tourette (ST) e avaliar a eficácia e os riscos envolvidos na realização do procedimento em crianças e adultos.  Métodos: O estudo é uma Overview de Revisões Sistemáticas e Metanálises, que buscou sintetizar as informações de revisões sistemáticas recentes sobre o uso de ECP em pacientes com ST. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados do MEDLINE, Web of Science e Scopus, com artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos em inglês e português. Resultados: Foram incluídos 9 artigos no total, dos quais foram avaliados os índices de melhora no controle de tiques, complicações envolvendo os implantes e a cirurgia, e efeitos colaterais. Todos os estudos identificaram em média uma redução dos tiques com o uso de ECP. Entre as principais complicações estavam sangramentos, infecções e problemas nos implantes. Diversos efeitos colaterais neurológicos como náusea, letargia, ansiedade, disfunções visuais, parestesia e até casos de agravamento dos tiques foram relatados. Conclusão: A ECP é um tratamento que possui um alto potencial no controle de sintomas da ST, porém o alto risco de complicações e efeitos colaterais tornam difícil a sua recomendação. Os estudos atuais ainda são insuficientes para garantir o uso seguro de ECP em casos não experimentais.

Kadınların iş yaşamında birçok sorunla karşılaştığı bilinen bir gerçektir. İş güvencesizliği algısının ataerkil yapı nedeniyle kadınlar tarafından daha fazla bildirildiği literatürde yer almaktadır. Bakım sorumluluğunun da ağırlıklı olarak kadınlar tarafından karşılandığı düşünüldüğü için çalışan kadınların iş güvencesizliği algısını yordayan bir faktör olup olmadığı bu çalışma yoluyla incelenmiştir. Araştırma, İstanbul’un Zeytinburnu ilçesinde tekstil sektöründe çalışan ve en az bir çocuk sahibi olan 135 kadın ile yüz yüze anket uygulaması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Toplum tarafından kabul edilen yargılar sebebiyle bakım sorumluluğunu üstlenen kadınlar, iş yerleri ile evleri arasında ulaşım sorunu yaşamadıkları, izin alabildikleri işlerde çalıştığında iş güvencesizliği algısı düşük olarak saptanmıştır. Buna dayanarak kadınların istihdam edildiği işyerlerinin de bakım sorumluluğu sebebiyle kısıtlandığı, kadınların evlerine yakın işleri tercih ettiği bulunmuştur. Nitelikli bakım hizmeti sağlanamadığı durumlarda kadınların çalışma saatleri, iş yerinin konumu gibi nedenlerden çalışma yaşamına devam edemediği anlaşılmıştır. Bu araştırmada da toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı iş bölümünün, kadınların iş güvencesizliği algısına etkisi olabileceği sonucuna varılmış ancak bu konuda daha fazla çalışma yapılması önerilmiştir.

Se debe de trabajar en estructurar apoyos alternos o subsidios a esta rama productiva , el gobierno federal debe de brindar más apoyos para evitar el déficit en la importación de dicho producto ; en el año 2017 , se encuentran  los últimos registros referente a los apoyos otorgados, no encontramos estadísticas en páginas de gobierno actualizadas al año 2023 ; que demuestren montos, beneficiados, avances, o alguna información complementaria; me parece de suma importancia que los productores cuenten con mayor información del procedimiento para imponer una cuota compensatoria, es de principal relevancia que conozcan este derecho que está plasmado en el marco jurídico que rige el comercio internacional:¿Cuál sería el beneficio? Demostrar que la rama productiva tiene un daño e impacto muy significativo, de tal manera, lograr que se imponga una cuota compensatoria a todas las importaciones provenientes de cualquier país.
