A Strongly Lensed Dusty Starburst of an Intrinsic Disk Morphology at a Photometric Redshift of z
ph > 7
Authors: Ling Chenxiaoji , Sun Bangzheng , Cheng Cheng , Li Nan , Ma Zhiyuan , Yan Haojing
Published: July 2024

We present COSBO-7, a strong millimeter source known for more than 16 yr that just revealed its near-to-mid-IR counterpart with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The precise pinpointing by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array on the exquisite NIRCam and MIRI images show that it is a background source gravitationally lensed by a single foreground galaxy, and the analysis of its spectral energy distribution by different tools is in favor of photometric redshift at z
ph > 7. Strikingly, our lens modeling based on the JWST data shows that it has a regular disk morphology in the source plane. The dusty region giving rise to the far-IR-to-millimeter emission seems to be confined to a limited region to one side of the disk and has a high dust temperature of >90 K. The galaxy is experiencing starburst both within and outside of this dusty region. After taking the lensing magnification of μ ≈ 2.5–3.6 into account, the intrinsic star formation rate is several hundred M
⊙ yr−1 both within the dusty region and across the more extended stellar disk, and the latter already has >1010
M
⊙ of stars in place. If it is indeed at z > 7, COSBO-7 presents an extraordinary case that is against the common wisdom about galaxy formation in the early Universe; simply put, its existence poses a critical question to be answered: how could a massive disk galaxy come into being so early in the Universe and sustain its regular morphology in the middle of an enormous starburst?
Living in “Overstimulated Times”: Revisiting the Social Criticism of Videodrome in the Internet Era
Authors: Thierbach-McLean Olga
Published: July 2024

David Cronenberg’s Videodrome (1983) is one of the earliest cyberpunk films, and one of the few cinematic works in the genre that diverge from the futuristic neon-noir aesthetic pioneered by Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982). Also with respect to its subject matter, it represents an outlier in first-wave cyberpunk as it focusses on the familiar medium of TV instead of the new frontiers of cyberspace. Made during the advent of cable TV, it reflects contemporaneous anxieties over the impact of capitalist market mechanisms on the information landscape. Although TV has now lost its monolithic status to the internet, the social critique of Videodrome is arguably more topical than ever. By addressing the friction between objectivity and subjectivity, fact and fiction, biology and technology, it poses questions that are at the very heart of present-day collective challenges. This article explores the relevance of Videodrome’s criticism of a TV-centered culture to contemporary discussions regarding the effects of digital interactive media on human psychology and the social fabric
Breaking news: Television in Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet
Authors: Wells-Lassagne Shannon
Published: July 2024

The story of film’s relationship with television is long and fraught, a story of close alliances and indeed desired assimilation (of films on the small screen, or of studios owning stations), as well as of bitter rivalries (for viewers) with disastrous consequences (like Mankiewicz’s dispendious and Shakespeare-inspired Cleopatra (1963) and its effect on Fox studios): a tale, in short, not entirely dissimilar to the legendary Romeo and Juliet. As such, viewers perhaps should not have been surprised that Baz Luhrmann, whose work has been largely characterized by surprising associations, would have begun his rendition of the classic tale with the image of a television set automatically turning on and revealing a newscaster whose “news” is the play’s prologue. In so doing, Luhrmann makes the news not the story itself, but rather the way it is conveyed – “the medium is the message”, as McLuhan would say, and the well-known tale is made new through mingling these media. From this perspective, the television becomes a defining characteristic of this film’s rendition of Luhrmann’s Red Curtain aesthetic. By bookending the film with a camera dollying first towards and finally away from the television set, the director foregrounds television, first as object, and then as aesthetic, in this performance of Shakespeare’s classic tale. Though television may seem peripheral (both literally and thematically) in the film, I argue that Luhrmann’s use of television and its multiplicity of genres and tropes are actually central to its politics of adaptation.
“And you think you’re so clever and classless and free” : Television and the working class in British films (1959-2021)
Authors: Marin-Lamellet Anne-Lise
Published: July 2024

Many British feature films have presented a rather critical view of television since its development, especially when related to the representation of the working class, because of its ambivalent ideological damage. Since 1959, television has thus often been presented as both a tool to depoliticise and indoctrinate its audience. Yet, over the decades, the representation of television and its impact on British working-class households has morphed and become more nuanced as the medium went mainstream. By the late 1960s, television was less of a vehicle for the directors’ and their heroes’ misogyny and fear of “dumbing down” through advertising and consumerism. Instead, it was associated with more positive aspects of working-class culture and family entertainment. But the advent of real TV shows has proved to be the latest development in the class opposition that has always underlain the representation of television in British films. The irony being that television in films was initially criticised for its potentially damaging classlessness yet it has always remained a channel for cinema to express its class-related bias. Because whether British cinema looks at how the working class watches television or at how television shows the working class, the representation mostly results from one class (the upper-middle class) watching another.
Verax and Mendax: Dialectics of truth and power in Citizenfour and Risk
Authors: Lipson David , Toquet Carla
Published: July 2024

Citizenfour (Laura Poitras, 2014) and Risk (Laura Poitras, 2016) are two documentaries about two controversial whistleblowers, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange respectively. It would seem natural to deploy the documentary genre to tackle the theme of whistleblowing, but this does not mean that the goal of the documentary is the same as that of the whistleblower. To compare the goals of documentary films and whistleblowing, an examination of the search for truth is of primary importance; hence the recourse to explore dialectics in both films which not only revolve around tensions but also dialogues on many different levels. To complicate this analysis even further, in both films Laura Poitras is also a participant. This article looks at the negotiation of power dynamics between filmmaker and subject, explores the intertextual dialogue between Citizenfour and Risk and focuses on different types of reception by the audience and filmmaker.

Reconstruction of Cloacal Defect: Switch Operation – A New Approach
Authors: Basu Ashoke Kumar , Basu Kalyani Saha , Bhaumik Kuntal , Basu Jyotsna , Aanad Abhishek
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Reconstruction of a cloacal defect in a girl is often difficult and complicated.[1] This is most often done either by the sacro-perineal route or through the posterior sagittal route.[2] The procedures may involve total mobilization of the cloaca with or without the creation of a lower vagina with the help of a loop of vascularized bowel.[3] In our approach, such defects can be corrected using the lower anorectum for the creation of a lower vagina and abdominoperineal pull-through of the proximal divided bowel. This method can be used both in short and long common channel cloaca.

Materials and Methods:

We have used this procedure in one patient of posterior cloaca and four patients of anterior cloaca. These operations were done in patients of 1 year and 6 months to 4 years. Only one patient is waiting for the closure of the colostomy.

Results:

In all the cases, the urethra, the vagina, and the anus were successfully separated.

Conclusion:

This operation restores normal pelvic anatomy and physiology with minimal mutilation of the pelvic floor.

Authors: Sahu Avilash , Zameer M. M. , Vinay C. , Rao Sanjay , D’Cruz Ashley
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Tunnelled catheters improve venous access in haematological diseases and malignancies, but are associated with complications. We prospectively analysed the episodes of CABSI and its associated risk factors.

Aims:

To study the incidence and risk factors for CABSI in children with tunnelled central venous catheters (both Hickmans and Chemoports).

Materials and Methods:

This is a prospective observational study done at our institute. Children under the age of 18 who underwent insertion of a Hickman or Chemoport from March 2018 to Dec 2022 were enrolled. Episodes of CABSI were noted and its risk factors were analysed.

Results:

In total, 258 catheters were inserted in 250 children. Age ranged from 1 month to 18 years (median 67 months) with 60% being boys. A total of 152 Hickmans, 106 chemoports were inserted. Indications for insertions were for requirement of BMT and chemotherapy in majority of cases. CABSI were seen in 28.6% of catheters. Younger children (< 4years), Neutropenia (counts < 1000) and use of TPN were significantly associated with CABSI(p value<0.05).Infection was more with externalized catheters (Hickman) than implantable ports (Chemoports) but was not statistical significant(p value>0.05). Almost 30% of catheters with CABSI required removal because of florid sepsis. Others could be salvaged with aggressive antibiotics.

Conclusions:

CABSI is a serious complications related to tunnelled catheter. Smaller children (<4 years), neutropenia and usage of TPN is a risk factor for development of CABSI. It can be treated with appropriate antibiotics and required removal in almost a third of all the cases.

Beyond the Needle: Unmasking Atypical Mycobacteria in Postvaccination Abscesses in Children
Authors: Shah Amar , Joshi Devesh N. , Shah Anirudh
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Atypical or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an environmental organism responsible for opportunistic infection. Rapid-growing NTM are more commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections. Many of the organisms responsible for diseases in immunocompromised patients and hospital-acquired infections originate from tap water, such as Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium xenopi, Mycobacterium gordonae, Mycobacterium simiae, Mycobacterium mucogenicum, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium chelonae, and Mycobacterium abscessus. NTM is a rare organism responsible for the injection abscess. Considering low incidents, not much clinical data are available for this condition. Here, we discuss such cases which can be helpful to spread awareness and provide data for future policy makers.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective study. Data on patients with injection abscess were collected from the last 6 years. Detailed history and clinical examination findings were analyzed. Children with injection abscess were operated and their further management and outcome were studied.

Results:

A total of 13 cases with confirmed culture of NTM were treated over 6 years. The age ranged from 2½ months to 5¾ years with male:female ratio of 7:6. All patients hailed from the same geographical area. All children were healthy with no history of any long-term or chronic illness, without additional symptoms and had received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination at birth. The total duration of illness varied from 1 to 5 months, with a mean of 3 months. All patients had a history of intramuscular age-appropriate vaccination as per the national immunization schedule. All patients were followed up to 6 months after intervention and none of our patients developed relapse.

Conclusion:

Patient who does not respond with optimum treatment should have a high suspicion of such opportunistic infection, which is crucial to their management. Hospital-acquired NTM infections often result from contaminated instruments or fluids. Adherence to strict aseptic precautions, hand hygiene and environmental precautions are the key to preventing these infections. In case of skin and soft tissue infections / abscesses, surgical intervention plays a significant role for managing the patient.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common obstructive anomaly of the lower urinary tract in children. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 17% of the children is due to PUV. The present study helps know the spectrum of the disease, management options, and the outcome in these children.

Methods:

The present study is a descriptive type of study by review of medical records of all the children presented to the hospital from 2015 to 2019. Profile of PUV includes any abnormality in antenatal ultrasonography (USG), age at presentation, presenting complaints, general condition at the time of presentation, biochemical investigations like serum creatinine and electrolytes at admission, clinical progression during hospital stay and the type of intervention. Outcome variables studied were improvement in the stream and overall well-being of the child, renal function, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Follow-up period varied from 1 to 6 years.

Results:

A total of 73 patients were included in the study. The mean age of presentation was 3.4 years. The most common presenting complaints were poor urinary stream and dribbling of urine. Antenatal USG showed abnormality in 23 patients. Renal function was abnormal in 28 patients. Out of 73 patients, 51 underwent endoscopic ablation of valves, 19 underwent vesicostomy, and three patients underwent supravesical diversion. During the follow-up recurrent UTI was observed in 11 patients, 15 patients progressed to chronic kidney disease, and 15% of patients were hypertensive. Mortality in the present study was 4%.

Conclusion:

PUV includes a spectrum of diseases from mild form to lethal conditions. Early intervention by relieving obstruction may prevent or delay the ESRD; hence, timely intervention is necessary in these children.

Authors: Goel Prabudh , Agrawal Vikesh , Srinivasan Ramesh Babu
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to propose Management, Outcome, Risk, and Expectation (MORE) as a risk based stratification to aid in antenatal parental counseling and decision making through a systematic review of published literature. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses compliant systematic review was conducted to include articles that covered antenatal counseling of pediatric surgical conditions. The following information was solicited for each anomaly: primary organ syste*-m of involvement, single or multi system anomaly, natural history of the disease, standard management of the anomaly, need for antenatal intervention, and whether the anomaly requires any alteration in the obstetric management. Twenty two studies were identified fulfilling the inclusion criteria, between 1993 and 2023. Only two studies were found to have GRADE A recommendation and Level I evidence. Most of the studies were review articles/ survey, and 6 studies were found to be retrospective observational studies. Based on the analysis of the solicited information, the anomalies were stratified into a group subsequently maturing them into a simplified MORE classification scheme which stressed the importance of Management (10, 45.45%), Outcome (9, 40.90%), Risk (9, 40.90%), and Expectation (10, 45.45%) categories during antenatal counseling. MORE classification of fetal structural anomalies is a simple but comprehensive framework to assist the physicians and other medical personnel antenatal parental counseling and decision making.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:

Of late, there are many legal representations from select quarters to halt all medical interventions in children with differences of sex development (DSD). In this survey on management decisions in DSD, we distil the views of Indian stakeholders: parents, physicians, and grown-up patients with DSD on their management decisions to identify decisional satisfaction or gender dysphoria.

Methods:

The survey domains included the patient demographics, final diagnosis, decision on the sex of rearing, surgical interventions, opinion of the stakeholders on the preferred age of sex assignment, final sex of rearing, and agreement/disagreement about sex assignment (gender dysphoria).

Results:

A total of 106 responses were recorded (66% parents, 34% grown-up patients aged 12–50 years). Among parents, 65/70 (95%) preferred the sex to be assigned soon after birth. All grown-up patients preferred sex to be assigned soon after birth. Regarding decisions on surgery, 74% of physicians and 75% of the grown-up patients felt parents should be allowed to decide interventions. Among Indian parents, 90% felt they should have the right to decide surgery in the best interest of their child for a safe social upbringing. Overall, gender dysphoria among Indian DSD patients was <1% (1/103, 0.97%).

Conclusions:

The predominant preference and opinion of major Indian stakeholders (physicians, parents, and grown-up DSD patients) support the existing approach toward DSD management, including early sex assignment and necessary medical intervention.

Authors: Aljarallah Badr M.
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/r) combined with dasabuvir (DSV) for treating hepatitis C genotype 4 (GT4) and genotype 1 (GT1) in patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among 88 patients, including treatment-naïve and Peginterferon/Ribavirin (RBV)-experienced, treated with OBV/PTV/r±RBV (dosed between 200 mg per week to daily) and additional DSV for GT1, 94.3% achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12), demonstrating high efficacy. RBV was used at the discretion of the treating physician. The treatment was well-tolerated, with two non-treatment-related deaths reported. The findings suggest that a 12-week regimen of OBV/PTV/r±DSV is highly effective and safe for GT1 and GT4 patients with advanced CKD, regardless of baseline characteristics.

ABSTRACT

Aim:

The present study was aimed at evaluating the variations in fibrin network patterns of the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) procured from diabetics, non-diabetics, and smokers suffering from chronic periodontitis.

Materials and Methods:

Five milliliters of blood were drawn using a syringe from 60 participants (systemically healthy non-diabetics, diabetics, and smokers) who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Five milliliters of blood were transferred to a dry glass tube. The clot (PRF) obtained after centrifugation from the glass tube was processed for light microscopy analysis.

Results:

The PRF samples have demonstrated the presence of both dense and loose fibrin networks. There is an increase in cellular content in diabetic participants compared to systemically healthy and smoker participants. Smoker participants demonstrated a higher amount of loose fibrin content, which was arranged irregularly.

Conclusion:

A significantly greater increase in cellular content and loose fibrin network is seen in diabetics and smokers, respectively, compared to systemically healthy individuals. As compared to the systemically healthy participants, there is a variation in the fibrin network pattern and distribution of cellular structures in diabetic and smoker participants.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Uterine fibroids, which are benign tumors affecting a significant proportion of women, often necessitate hysterectomy for suggestive relief. Understanding the relative efficiency and safety profiles of different techniques is crucial for optimizing patient care.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective cohort study enrolled women diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent hysterectomy. Surgical techniques included “total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH)”, “laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH)”, and “vaginal hysterectomy (VH)”. Efficacy outcomes included operative time, blood loss, and recurrence rates, while complications encompassed intraoperative and postoperative adverse events.

Results:

Laparoscopic hysterectomy demonstrated the shortest operative time and least blood loss compared with TAH and VH. Total abdominal hysterectomy had the highest rates of both intraoperative and postoperative complications, followed by LH and VH. Recurrence rates were comparable among the three techniques.

Conclusion:

Laparoscopic hysterectomy offers advantages in operative efficiency and complication rates compared with total abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy techniques.
Pendidikan Kristen Dalam Pendidikan Nasional: Peran dan Tantangannya
Authors: Purwanto Hary
Published: July 2024

Pendidikan agama Kristen mengajarkan dan mendidik siswa mampu berperan di lingkungannya supaya bisa mengabarkan keselamatan yang telah diterimanya. Pendidikan Kristen tidak sekadar bersifat deskriptif atau sekadar memperkuat pengayatan dan memperdalam penghayatan iman Krisen, melainkan merupakan kehidupan ataupun hubungannya dengan lingkungan masyarakat yang lebih luas. Iman Kristiani akan menjadi landasan sikap, tingkah laku, karakter dimanapun berada dengan berbagai latar belakang keagamaan, suku, ras tradisi dan sebagainya. Pemerintah dibantu dan ditopang dengan adanya perguruan swasta (Kristen). Namun ada kecurigaan yang terlalu tajam pada lembaga pendidikan Kristen. Padahal maksud dan tujuan mata pelajaran agama Kristen di sekolah sama sekali tidak memaksa siswa menjadi pemeluk agama Kristen. Tidak ada dan tak mengenal istilah kristenisasi di lembaga pendidikan Kristen. Namun sebagai wujud rasa bertanggung jawab ikut serta mencerdaskan kehidupan  bangsa. Pendidikan yang diselenggarakan oleh lembaga Kristen justru menyajikan pendidikan yang holistik yang berdasarkan visi Kristen (mengenai ekologi, hubungan antar manusia, dan cinta kasih). Pendidikan Kristen dalam Pendidikan Nasional telah tertuang pada SISDIKNAS dan peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia. Namun perlu diingat bahwa lembaga pendidikan Kristen merupakan pendidikan yang mempunyai ciri khas dan jati diri sesuai UU No 2 Tahun 1989.

Authors: Tresna Aji Enggar Aprilia , Firdaus Rehan , Sanggalangi Christiyanto , Irfani Muhammad Rifqi
Published: July 2024

The construction of the Becakayu toll road was intended to overcome the issue of traffic congestion by providing a connector between Bekasi and Jakarta. However, as the number of vehicles using this toll road continues to grow, there is a possibility of an increase in accidents. The data from 2019 to 2023 indicates that the number of accidents has increased every year, with 25 accidents resulting in 11 minor injuries reported in 2023. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the accident prone area to map and reduce the risk of accidents. This study aims to identify the accident-prone areas on the Becakayu toll road using the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN) and Upper Control Limit (UCL) methods. The results indicate that the areas prone to accidents are at KM 10 on track A, and at KM 7 and 8 on track B.
Hablar sobre el silencio: una aproximación a los límites de la significatividad
Authors: Nuñez Erices Gonzalo
Published: July 2024

El silencio no es un fenómeno que podamos colocar fuera del lenguaje o sistema de significación. A diferencia del mutismo que es solo una negación del ruido, este trabajo explora una interpretación del silencio como frontera de la significación. La palabra discurre sobre el silencio como un horizonte de sentido brotando como negatividad a todo sistema de significación. Considerando algunos aspectos del trabajo Bernard Dauenhauer, un primer momento abordará el silencio que ocurre entre las palabras marcando las discontinuidades del discurso y como una posibilidad más del discurso. En segundo lugar, el silencio es entendido como fenómeno fronterizo en el trasfondo de lo nombrable que no se reduce ningún tipo de expresión particular del lenguaje, sino como pura alteridad. Finalmente, el silencio no recae únicamente en el entre de las palabras ni tampoco en su trasfondo, sino que también en lo indecible o innombrable que hay en la forma que el propio lenguaje refiere a las cosas en el mundo. En este sentido, las distinciones entre ‘lenguaje’ y ‘habla’ en Heidegger como entre ‘decir’ y ‘mostrar’ en Wittgenstein dan cuenta del fundamento inefable de la significatividad. La palabra guarda silencio, encuentra un punto ciego, respecto de ella misma y su naturaleza representacional.
La academia vaciada: neoliberalismo, patriarcado y crisis del conocimiento crítico
Authors: Torrado Martín Palomino Esther , Perera Mendez Pedro
Published: July 2024

El neoliberalismo va más allá de un simple programa económico o una ideología política, se trata de un proyecto civilizatorio global de una lógica normativa práctica que define las normas de vida y las relaciones sociales. Pero quizás, la mayor novedad que ofrece el neoliberalismo con respecto al liberalismo clásico es el principio general de la competencia generalizada que obliga a rechazar la cooperación como principio básico de la convivencia, la igualdad y el desarrollo social. Ese principio de la competencia generalizada se ha incorporado en todas las organizaciones sociales, incluida la Academia como referente del conocimiento científico. Y es que, en estos últimos 20 años, las Instituciones de Educación Superior, han sufrido un cambio de modelo al amparo de una profunda crisis económica y ética en España y la influencia de la globalización. En este sentido desde este trabajo se centran principalmente dos temas: la competencia generalizada y los cambios en las instituciones de educación superior en España. Por un lado, que la competencia generalizada ha reemplazado a la cooperación como principio básico en la convivencia y desarrollo social y, por otro, que las instituciones de educación superior en España han experimentado cambios que han incrementado la desigualdad y la brecha de género, llevando a la consolidación de una universidad elitista y patriarcal.

La crítica, en el sentido literal de disección o discernimiento, se propone subrayar el límite entre esos problemas y las alternativas potenciales que una reflexión sobre los fundamentos de la universidad pueda revelar. Los momentos a desarrollar son, en primer lugar, el esbozo de la relación entre universidad y población según su influencia mutua. En segundo lugar, la determinación de las problemáticas que para el pueblo suele presentar la formación de la universidad. En tercer lugar, la comprensión de la alternativa tomando como ejemplo el sentido del título universitario y, en concreto, el de doctor. Y, para concluir, el papel de la filosofía dentro de la universidad con base en lo previamente expuesto.

Published: July 2024

PT Adaro Indonesia (PT AI) is one of the biggest coal mining companies in Indonesia located in South Kalimantan. PT AI manages 8 coal stock areas called Run of Mine (ROM). Coals from ROM are transported and blended to produce final coal products. The blending process is organized by the Dispatch Team.

In this context, the weights of attributes are not entirely known, and the attribute values are expressed using
intuitionist fuzzy numbers. To ascertain the attribute weights, an optimization model is formulated based on the foundational principles of traditional grey relational analysis (GRA). The proposed approach entails computing the grey relation degree between each alternative and the positive-ideal solution as well as the negative-ideal solution. This degree is subsequently utilized to establish a relative relational degree, facilitating the simultaneous ranking of all alternatives concerning both the positive-ideal solution (PIS)
and negative-ideal solution (NIS). From the result Efficient Algorithms is ranked at first position and Green Data Centers is ranked at fifth position.
