Published: May 2022

The Long Tomb is located in Drajat Village, Kesambi District. The Drajat village area has several potential for pilgrimage tourism, namely in the form of graves and makom which contributed to the spread of Islam in Cirebon around the 15th century, especially in the spread of Islam in the Drajat village. In this article, we focus on the potential for long tombs to be used as potential for religious tourism. The purpose of this study is to describe religious tourism and the meaning of pilgrimage at the Long Tomb. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, by conducting in-depth interviews with the caretaker as the source of the long tomb. The Long Tomb is the resting place of a figure of Sultan Lelana who is known by the public as Prince Jaka Lelana. Jaka Lelana is the second son of Sunan Gunung Jati. The Long Tomb is sacred because Jaka Lelana is a descendant of the Guardian and is the son of Sunan Gunung Jati. Currently, the potential for long tomb pilgrimages is still very minimal and poorly maintained, so a strategy is needed to disseminate the potential to become one of the pilgrimage tourist destinations in Cirebon City.

In the present work, different metal oxide and metal chalcogenide are used as the core materials with the controlled grain size which coated by the polymer. Metal nanoparticles used as various types of catalysts, adsorbents, and sensors. They have applications in optical, electronic and magnetic devices. Most of these applications vitally depend on the size of the nanoparticles. Therefore the synthesis of controlled crystallite size nanoparticles important for above mentioned applications. Here, lead sulfide (PbS), tin oxide (SnO2), and Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) core materials coated by the polypyrrole (PPy). To form the core and the shell set the diameter fixed and measured theoretically. Weight is proportional to the product of volume and density. The theory behind this is to calculate the amount of precursor. The calculated amount is used to prepare the core as well as the shell which is formed by simple wet chemical method and addition polymerization. The XRD studies are used to determine the crystallite size of the core/shell nanocomposites. Thus the desired crystallite size is successfully obtained. Transmission Electron Microscope also confirms the formation of core/shell structure directly. Keywords: Core, Shell, nanocomposites, polypyrrole, TEM

Cognitive property of the human visual system to detect salient objects in image and video sequences to correlate with neighbouring objects for information retrieval and understanding is developed for computer vision application. Detecting salient objects with accurate boundaries and features is addressed in this work by using the directional selectivity property of complex wavelets. Computation complexity of processing complex wavelet sub band is addressed by companding the features into eight sub bands and optimum number of features are selected using SPIHTL (Set Partition In Hierarchical Trees List) algorithm. Five layered deep learning algorithm is designed with 2D FFNN ( Feed Forward Neural Network) structure and reordering units to detect salient object features. The 3D DTCWT (Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) model combined with 2D SPIHTL encoder and deep learning algorithm is modelled in MATLAB and is trained to identify 120 objects with PSNR (Peak Signal To Noise Ration) of 40dB. The designed model is demonstrated to detect generic objects. Keywords: Video saliency, DTCWT, Directional Features, SPIHTL, Deep Learning, 2D Neural Network

In this review we have focused on Korsakoff syndrome, which is an aftermath of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE). Wernicke-Encephalopathy is neuropathologically marked by thiamine or vitamin B1 deficiency, typically induced by excessive alcohol use over an extended period of time in alcoholic patients, while in Nonalcoholic patients, it may be due to impaired utilization or accelerated usage of thiamine. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) affects the brain region such as the mammillary bodies, periaqueductal and periventricular grey matter, colliculi bodies, and thalamus. The classic triads of WE are ophthalmoplegia, Nystagmus, and ataxia. The brain is examined using MRI and shows damage to the nuclei or memory transit- papez circuit that connects mamillary bodies to the anterior thalamus using the mammillothalamic tract responsible for the recollective memory in the diencephalon. Patients can be treated by parenteral thiamine administration and by abstinence of alcohol within their lifestyle.

Owing to the hazardous contribution towards environment from mineral oil-based lubricants, bio-degradable lubricants extracted from vegetable oils seems to be a promising candidate considering climate change, energy security and green environmental approach. In this research work, chemically modified helianthus annuus is considered as a viable option due to its excellent tribological properties and considerable polyunsaturated fatty acid. To further enhance the tribological properties, copper oxide nanoparticles were added to the base oil in varying proportions of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5% by weight fractions. The application of nano enhanced biolubricants on worm and gearbox is studied. The addition of copper oxide nanoparticles enhances dispersion stability of the biolubricant. Tribological characterization was conducted using pin-on disc machine. Tribological properties such as coefficient of friction and wear rate along with kinematic viscosity is analysed for each composition. The obtained results are compared with synthetic oil SAE 75. It is observed that with the inclusion of copper oxide nanoparticles to the biolubricant, there is a notable decrease in wear rate along with lower friction coefficient.

Background: Although muscles and bones interact with each other through various secretory factors, the role of sclerostin, an osteocyte-secreted factor, on muscle metabolism has not been well studied. We investigated the levels of serum sclerostin in Korean older adults with sarcopenia.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 129 participants who underwent evaluation of muscle mass and function in an outpatient geriatric clinic of a teaching hospital. Sarcopenia and related parameters were determined using cutoff values for the Asian population. Serum sclerostin levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: The mean age of the participants was 69.6 years, and 20 participants (15.5%) were classified as having sarcopenia. After adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index, serum sclerostin levels were significantly lower in participants with sarcopenia, low muscle mass, or weak muscle strength (P=0.003 to 0.045). Serum sclerostin levels were positively associated with skeletal muscle index and grip strength after adjusting for confounders (P=0.001 and P=0.003), whereas sarcopenic phenotype score showed a negative association (P=0.006). These increases in muscle mass and strength were also dose dependent as serum sclerostin levels increased (P for trends=0.003 and P for trends=0.015). Higher serum sclerostin levels were associated with lower odds ratio (ORs) for sarcopenia, low muscle mass, and weak muscle strength after adjusting for confounders (OR, 0.27 to 0.50; P<0.001 to 0.025).Conclusion: Higher serum sclerostin levels were associated with a lower risk of sarcopenia, low muscle mass, and weak muscle strength in Korean older adults.

Spectral lines of ammonia, NH3, are useful probes of the physical conditions in dense molecular cloud cores. In addition to advantages in spectroscopy, ammonia has also been suggested to be resistant to freezing onto grain surfaces, which should make it a superior tool for studying the interior parts of cold, dense cores. Here we present high-resolution NH3 observations with the Very Large Array and Green Bank Telescope toward a prestellar core. These observations show an outer region with a fractional NH3 abundance of X(NH3) = (1.975 ± 0.005) × 10−8 (±10% systematic), but it also reveals that, after all, the X(NH3) starts to decrease above a H2 column density of ≈2.6 × 1022 cm−2. We derive a density model for the core and find that the break point in the fractional abundance occurs at the density n(H2) ∼ 2 × 105 cm−3, and beyond this point the fractional abundance decreases with increasing density, following the power law n
−1.1. This power-law behavior is well reproduced by chemical models where adsorption onto grains dominates the removal of ammonia and related species from the gas at high densities. We suggest that the break-point density changes from core to core depending on the temperature and the grain properties, but that the depletion power law is anyway likely to be close to n
−1 owing to the dominance of accretion in the central parts of starless cores.

Merten’s carpet sea anemone, Stichodactyla mertensii Brandt, 1835, is the largest known sea anemone species in the world, regularly exceeding one meter in oral disc diameter. A tropical species from the Indo-Pacific, S. mertensii drapes prominently over coral reef substrates and is a common host to numerous species of clownfishes and other symbionts throughout its range, which extends from the Red Sea through the Central Pacific Ocean. Long thought to reproduce via sexual reproduction only, recent genetic evidence suggests it may rarely reproduce asexually as well, although this process had never been confirmed through direct observation and the mechanism was yet to be described. Here, we directly observed and documented in situ asexual fragmentation via budding, in real time, by a Red Sea S. mertensii in a turbid inshore reef environment. While asexual reproduction is not unusual in sea anemones as a group, it is typically expected to be uncommon for large-bodied species. Herein, we describe S. mertensii fragmentation, provide high resolution images of the event from the Saudi Arabian coastline at multiple time points, and confirm asexual reproduction for this species.

Background/Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) therapy in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected Korean patients in a real clinical setting.Methods: A total of 273 patients who received LDV/SOF therapy between May 2016 and February 2021 were consecutively enrolled and analyzed. A per-protocol analysis was performed to evaluate the virologic response.Results: Seventy-five percent were infected with genotype 1, and 25% were infected with genotype 2. A hundred eightyone (66.3%) patients had chronic hepatitis, 74 (27.1%) had compensated cirrhosis, eight (2.9%) had decompensated cirrhosis, and 10 (3.7%) had undergone liver transplantation. Undetectable HCV RNA at week 4 was achieved in 90.2% (231/256) of patients, 99.2% (250/252) achieved the end of treatment response, and 98.1% (202/206) achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12). According to liver function, the SVR12 rates were 99.3% (135/136) in chronic hepatitis, 96.4% (53/55) in compensated cirrhosis, and 100% (6/6) in decompensated cirrhosis. The SVR12 rates according to the genotype were 98.2% (167/170) for genotype 1 and 97.2% (35/36) for genotype 2. An 8-week LDV/SOF treatment in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis patients with HCV RNA < 6,000,000 IU/mL at baseline resulted in 100% (23/23) SVR12 rates. Overall, LDV/SOF was tolerated well, with a 0.7% (2/273) discontinuation rate due to adverse events that were unrelated to LDV/SOF.Conclusions: LDV/SOF is effective and safe for treating HCV-infected Korean patients with high SVR12 rates.

Published: May 2022

Este estudo retrospectivo documental quanti-qualitativo buscou identificar as principais características e demandas dos pacientes que procuram por psicoterapia familiar. Participaram 67 famílias atendidas em uma clínica-escola do Sul do Brasil entre 2017 e 2020. Os dados foram coletados de fichas de triagem e submetidos a análises descritivas e à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados abordam três categorias: variáveis familiares e sociodemográficas; história clínica e processo de busca por ajuda; e problema apresentado. Foi constatado como perfil predominante famílias da classe social C, com configuração familiar intacta, que têm filhos pequenos ou adolescentes e ao menos um integrante com problema de saúde mental, em especial transtornos de humor. A maioria das famílias foi encaminhada por amigos ou profissionais de saúde, após passar por outros tratamentos, muitas vezes medicamentosos. Como queixas mais recorrentes, apareceram insatisfação com o relacionamento familiar, preocupação com a condição psicológica de um membro do grupo ou dificuldades na parentalidade. Os achados apontam alguns pilares que devem ser pensados por cientistas e profissionais interessados em compreender as famílias contemporâneas e auxiliam no delineamento dos currículos dos cursos de formação e no planejamento de estratégias de prevenção e intervenção, contribuindo para a atualização teórica e para a evolução do exercício clínico.
Infelizes para Sempre: divórcio litigioso e sofrimento emocional à luz da teoria winnicottiana
Authors: Magalhães Mesquita Marina , Mara Marques Granato Tania
Published: May 2022

Considerando que o número de processos judiciais de divórcio litigioso vem crescendo nos últimos anos, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender psicanaliticamente como essa experiência é emocionalmente integrada à história de vida de ex-cônjuges. Foram entrevistados 10 adultos, 6 mulheres e 4 homens, com idade entre 35 e 75 anos que passaram por um processo litigioso e que tinham filhos menores à época do divórcio. Entrevistas abertas individuais foram conduzidas a partir de uma pergunta disparadora que proporcionou aos participantes a possibilidade de narrar suas vivências por meio da associação livre de ideias e afetos. Após cada entrevista foi elaborada uma Narrativa Transferencial (NT) para comunicar o contexto e o conteúdo dos encontros, além das impressões pessoais da pesquisadora. O conjunto das NTs foi compartilhado com o grupo de pesquisa resultando na interpretação de três campos de sentido afetivo-emocional. O campo “Infelizes para sempre”, a partir do qual os seguintes se desenvolvem, denota a longevidade da repercussão emocional do divórcio; o campo “A culpa é do outro” comunica a inabilidade de se apropriar da própria responsabilidade na construção da realidade vivida; e, “E os filhos?” denuncia a situação dos filhos que acabam negligenciados em meio ao turbilhão de emoções parentais.

Em casos de perícia psicológica, o laudo torna-se um instrumento legal, que deve ser apresentado ao magistrado a partir dos dados coletados na avaliação. O presente artigo teve como principal objetivo verificar como são construídos os laudos decorrentes de perícias psicológicas em disputa de guarda. Foram analisados de forma técnica-científica 45 processos judiciais provenientes de cinco Cartórios de Varas de Família do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, totalizando 54 laudos psicológicos. Os critérios de análise dos documentos foram definidos a partir da Resolução do Conselho Federal de Psicologia n° 007/2003. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um protocolo de coleta de dados dos processos de disputa de guarda, exclusivo para este estudo. Verificou-se que a maioria dos laudos psicológicos analisados não possuía a qualidade técnico-científica preconizada. Analisar documentos escritos por psicólogos, oferece indicadores sobre as lacunas na formação deste profissional, que podem resultar em dificuldades significativas no processo de avaliação psicológica, em especial em contexto jurídico, o qual pode influenciar diretamente a vida e o futuro dos periciados.

Published: May 2022

Diante da onipresença das tecnologias digitais móveis na vida das crianças, observa-se que são produzidos novos modos pelos quais a criança explora o mundo. Este estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo pretendeu explorar o brincar com os tablets e seus desdobramentos. Participaram do estudo quatro crianças em idade pré-escolar (3 a 6 anos), residentes na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, que faziam uso dos tablets em seu cotidiano. Observações de hora de jogo foram realizadas em três diferentes momentos em uma brinquedoteca. O estudo apontou que a criança prefere o brincar com tablets ao brincar não digital e que ele pode ser importante no desenvolvimento de algumas habilidades cognitivas. Entretanto, devido ao predomínio de um brincar criança-tela, prejuízos no desenvolvimento motor e nas interações interpessoais que acontecem no mundo real podem ser notados. A partir das observações constata-se que o brincar com tablets não se opõe ao brincar não digital, apenas acontece em um outro domínio e se apresenta como um novo e ainda pouco explorado universo representacional, podendo coexistir com outras modalidades de brincar.

Em decorrência da pandemia de COVID-19, os serviços psicológicos via videoconferência têm se ampliado. Considerando a necessidade de compreender os aspectos clínicos envolvidos nesta modalidade de atendimento, o presente estudo objetivou levantar e analisar artigos publicados sobre o atendimento psicoterápico via videoconferência, através de uma revisão sistemática, nas bases de dados PubMed, PsycINFO e Web of Science. A busca foi realizada no mês de agosto de 2021, utilizando os descritores “telepsychology”, “telepsychological service”, “online counseling”, “online psychotherapy” e “videoconferencing psychotherapy”. Foram selecionados 13 artigos de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão da pesquisa. Apesar das pesquisas demonstrarem resultados conflitantes quanto a qualidade da relação terapêutica estabelecida, verificou-se que terapeutas e pacientes apresentaram percepções favoráveis ao uso desta modalidade de atendimento, e que a psicoterapia por videoconferência pode ser viável para o tratamento de uma ampla gama de problemáticas como ansiedade, tricotilomania, transtorno do estresse pós-traumático, transtorno psicótico, do pânico e agorafobia. Portanto, a partir dos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que a psicoterapia por videoconferência está se revelando como uma alternativa aplicada a diversos contextos não alcançados por modelos de psicoterapias tradicionais, proporcionando a ampliação do acesso à população geral, com ética e qualidade.

A Coverless Text Steganography by Encoding the Chinese Characters' Component Structures
Authors: Wang Kaixi , Yu Xiangmei , Zou Ziyi
Published: May 2022

The current coverless text steganography methods have a low steganographic capacity, and yet some of them cannot assure a message can be concealed. How to achieve a high steganographic capacity has become the research hotspot in text steganography. This paper proposes a text coverless steganography method by encoding the Chinese characters’ component structures. Its main idea is that a binary bit string can be conveyed by the Chinese characters’ component structures. The positions of Chinese characters that carry a secret message will be expressed in two systems of the linear remainder equations, whose solutions will be secretly sent to the receiver to extract the secret message. In the method, a single Chinese character can express p bits. The analyses and statistics show that its capacity will be much higher when the same Chinese character is used more than once than existing methods, and it can conceal any message successfully. In addition, this method can also be employed in other languages.

To ensure a successful transfer of messages in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), data communication channels between vehicles must meet specific standards. As a result, determining the Quality of Service (QoS) of the communication links established among vehicles is a critical task. In this paper, we present a Fuzzy System for Assessment of Quality of Service (FSAQoS), in which we consider two models (FSAQoS1 and FSAQoS2) to assess QoS in Software-Defined VANETs (SDN-VANETs). FSAQoS1 takes into consideration the latency of message transmission between neighboring vehicles, the reliability of data exchange, as well as the beacon signals disseminated across the network that inform vehicles about the state and location of their neighbors. In addition to these parameters, FSAQoS2 considers the interference of the concurrent transmission of nearby vehicles. We evaluate the proposed system by computer simulations. From the evaluation results, we see that FSAQoS2 shows better results than FSAQoS1, although its complexity is higher.

Future EU policies on the dynamics of the food industry impose increasingly stringent hygiene principles. The principles of hygienic design are becoming more and more extensive, with the chapter on hygienic welding occupying a priority position. Surfaces that come into contact with food must be free of imperfections. In order to achieve these goals, research is being undertaken aimed at the continuous improvement of manufacturing technologies. This paper covers some aspects of a critical analysis of welded joints in stainless steel pipes used in the food industry. Some correlations of surface imperfections from the interior areas of the pipes jointed, with a big level of contamination, based on sanitation tests and visual analyses are presented. The conclusions contain some express technological recommendations for the designers of manufacturing and maintenance technologies, especially for welding specialists.

The process of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of welded joints applied to stainless steel parts has raised important questions due to the effects on the machined surface and even the deep substrates. The paper proposes the possibility of improving working conditions by multiple activation of the effective processing space. The experimental research was performed under the conditions of simultaneous activation, both ultrasonic of the wire electrode and by magnetic activation of the dielectric liquid. The selection of the optimal parameters of magnetic activation was made using an experimental statistical modeling method, with a statistical analysis of the objective functions, using specialized software. The additional introduction of ultrasonic energy into the workspace has led to the rapid refresh of the dielectric fluid and the accelerated evacuation of eroded particles.

Titanium (Ti) is highly valued for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, after it is processed to a wrought, or shaped form, it is typically in excess of 40 times more expensive than the corresponding steel part and nearly 20 times more expensive than the aluminum part. The high production costs of titanium in comparison to other structural metals is the main limiting factor for the wide employment of titanium. Cost reduction can be addressed considering creative fabrication methods and/or formulating new chemical compositions. In general, low-cost technology of titanium alloy can be implemented from raw material, alloy design and processing and forming. The core idea of low-cost titanium alloy design is to use cheap alloying elements to instead of expensive alloying elements without reducing the performance of the alloy. Iron has been considered for the development of few low-cost titanium alloys because of its stabilizing effect of the β-phase. Besides, it has a large solid solubility in β-Ti and owing to the atomic size difference with Ti can enable significant solution strengthening. But due to the high density of iron, high quantity of β-stabilizing elements and the formation of TiFe-based brittle intermetallic phases, welding joints of low-cost titanium alloys are prone to formation of cold cracks which is very important limiting factor for obtaining high quality welded joints with a strength of at least 90% compared to the strength of base material. Electron Beam Welding with its higher welding speed and intensity, can prevent formation of intermetallic and could help in obtaining welds with better mechanical properties, especially in combination with either pre-or post-welding heat treatment. The aim of this work is to study the effect of pre-heating and post-welding heat treatment on low-cost β-titanium alloy Ti-2.8Al-5.1Mo-4.9Fe welding joints by performing electron beam welding in combination with pre-and post-welding heat treatment. Specifically, this work will help to understand the influence of such techniques on the structure, phase composition and mechanical properties of low-cost β-titanium alloy welded joint.

This work aims to prepare BiOI films via simple heating of BiI3 materials and study their characters from structural, optical, and morphology perspectives. In the heating process, we varied the heating treatment time. In addition, the solar cell performance of prepared BiOI films was tested. In BiOI preparation, we deposited BiI3 films first onto FTO substrates via BiI3 heating in the air using a closed chamber at the temperature of 360 °C for 30, 45, and 120 minutes. The deposited BiI3 films were then rinsed with water/ethanol and re-heated at 350 °C for 30 minutes. As a result, by increasing the heating treatment time, it could form thicker BiOI films. All the resulting films confirmed the BiOI characters. A longer BiI3 heating time could direct the growth of BiOI crystal, wavelength red-shift, and flake structure. In the electrochemical solar cell study, it was known that BiOI films had a lower performance compared to the reported results. After a certain thickness (~1.3 μm), the device's open-circuit voltage and current decreased.

Published: May 2022

Context

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been endorsed for providing patient-centered care. However, PROMs must represent their target populations.

Objective

To identify the primary concerns of collegiate athletes experiencing injury and compare those with the content of established PROMs.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Collegiate athletic training facilities.

Patients or Other Participants

Collegiate athletes experiencing injury (N = 149).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Open-ended responses to the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile were used to identify primary concerns, which were linked to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health taxonomy codes. Items of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System; modified Disablement of the Physically Active Scale; Lower Extremity Functional Scale; Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS); International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC); Foot and Ankle Ability Measure; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand; Functional Arm Scale for Throwers; and Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic questionnaire were linked to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health codes. We calculated χ2 single-sample goodness-of-fit tests to determine if 70% of the content was shared between PROMs and participant-generated codes.

Results

Participant-generated concerns were primarily related to sport participation (16%) and pain (23%). Chi-square tests showed that the Lower Extremity Functional Scale and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure presented significant content differences, with common participant-generated lower extremity responses at all levels. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System; modified Disablement of the Physically Active Scale; KOOS; IKDC; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand; Functional Arm Scale for Throwers; and Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic questionnaire did not have significant content differences for level 2 codes; still, significant differences were present for level 3 analyses except for the KOOS and IKDC (P < .001). All measures except the IKDC contained significant superfluous content (P < .05).

Conclusions

The presence of significant content differences supports clinician-perceived barriers regarding the relevance of established PROMs. However, the IKDC was a relevant and efficient PROM for evaluating the primary concerns of collegiate athletes experiencing lower extremity injury. Clinicians should consider using patient-generated measures to support coverage of patient-specific concerns in care.
Why the Convivial Conservation Vision Needs Complementing to be a Viable Alternative for Conservation in the Global South
Authors: Kiwango Wilhelm Andrew , Mabele Mathew Bukhi
Published: May 2022

Convivial conservation is presented as an anti-capitalist approach and alternative to current mainstream conservation as well as proposals for ‘half-earth’ and ‘new conservation’ approaches. This paper reviews these approaches and situates them in the global South conservation and development context. Using the Ruaha-Rungwa Ecosystem in Tanzania as a case study, it examines elements of the convivial conservation vision in relation to three critical conservation problems: path dependencies of state conservation agencies; heavy reliance on tourism revenue; and political interests in community conservation areas. The analysis draws on empirical data obtained from published studies and extensive field-based research by the first author in the study area. It demonstrates that while the convivial conservation approach may be considered a radical and plausible alternative to the ‘half earth’ and new conservation proposals, its implementation in the global South will remain challenging in the face of the existing conservation problems. The paper suggests a socio-ecological justice approach that complements the convivial conservation vision through a systemic incorporation of the rights and responsibilities of different conservation stakeholders from the perspective of procedural, recognition, distributive, and environmental justice.

In this article, we report two patients who experienced the first onset of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) 3 days after the administration of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. Case 1: A 50-year-old woman without any history of retinal disease developed vision loss in her right eye 3 days after receiving the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. Case 2: A 56-year-old woman without any history of retinal disease developed vision loss in her right eye 3 days after receiving the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. Case 1: Temporal superior BRVO and secondary macular edema (ME) were observed in the patient's right eye. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25. Case 2: Temporal inferior BRVO and secondary ME were observed in the patient's right eye. Her BCVA was 13/20. Case 1: Three doses of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) were administered. Case 2: Three doses of IVR were administered. Case 1: ME resolved and BCVA improved to 20/20. Case 2: ME resolved and BCVA improved to 20/20. Both the cases showed a possible association between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and the first onset of BRVO.
