Anaesthetic challenges in a rare case of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus extension into right atrium under cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
Authors: Anand Neelesh , Murugesan Gokulakannan , Muthukumaran Revanth , Sharma Sajal
Published: June 2024

Renal cell carcinoma, an epithelial tumour of the kidney, is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. It is uniquely associated with tumour thrombi extending into the renal vein and inferior vena cava, while rarely extending till the right atrium. This poses challenges in intra-operative and post-operative hemodynamic management as well as perioperative cardio and neuroprotection making it a challenging case from anaesthetic point of view. We report a rare case of Right renal cell carcinoma with thrombus extension into right renal vein, inferior vena cava and right atrium. Right radical nephrectomy with en-bloc tumor-thrombus excision under cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was performed. The case was suspected to have a difficult intraoperative and postoperative course with major hemodynamic instability, neuroprotection, and cardioprotection in mind, and was managed appropriately.

Dens in dente: A review of literature with a rare case report
Authors: Varshney Ashima , Gupta Sonal , Saly Afsia
Published: June 2024

Dens invaginatus (DI) (dens in dente) is a developmental anomaly resulting from an invagination in part of variable depth of the enamel organ into the dental papilla in the surface of the crown before calcification of the dental tissues. They are a target for caries leading to pulp necrosis and apical pathosis, so the diagnosis and early prevention measures are important. When treatment is necessary, conservative, endodontic, and periodontal possibilities are very effective. Surgical interventions are only rarely indicated.

This article presents a unique case report of unilateral DI of Type III (Ohlers) involving the maxillary left central incisor as well as a comprehensive review of literature on history, aetiology and classification.

Early detection and management are recommended before the development of pulpal and periodontal pathosis that further complicates the prognosis. Postoperative follow-up subsequent to treatment is essential for effective long-term clinical management.

The research is aimed at improving approaches, methods, and tools for analyzing and developing a mining company brand strategy. An analysis of the main approaches to defining the concepts of “brand” and “trade mark” is given, their features and differences are highlighted, and the features of branding of mining enterprises are described. The modified approach to assessing the brand image of a mining company based on the Anholt identity hexagon is proposed. The profiles of the brand image of the Ukrainian mining enterprises obtained through an expertly evaluated procedure have been compiled. The model of brand strategy management of a mining enterprise is proposed, considering the specifics of this sector. The study was carried out on five largest mining companies in Ukraine. A survey was conducted of 80 experts. It has been determined that to assess the brand image of a mining company, characteristics of personnel, investments, product exports, corporate culture, technologies should be used. Brand image calculated using an integral taxonomic development indicator. Scientific and practical recommendations for the use of the brand strategy elements in the mining industry have been developed. The study limitations are determined by the mining industry specifics. Described approach can be applied with minor modifications to heavy industry and mechanical engineering.
From sustainability to resilience: tracing the transition path for spatial planning policy in Greece
Authors: Asprogerakas Evangelos , Tasopoulou Anastasia
Published: June 2024

Sustainability and resilience are currently key analytical concepts with wide acceptance among different disciplines. This study initially attempts a comprehensive analysis of the current policy to specify the meaningful elements for integrating these concepts into spatial planning theory and practice. Then, a critical review of the Greek spatial planning policy aims to shed light on its evolution in relation to the two paradigms. The findings show that the actual shift from sustainability to resilience remains to be observed and that more attention should be focused on the political rather than the administrative aspect of planning.
Da arquitetura teatral e da literatura dramática: processo metodológico
Authors: Iglesias Manuel
Published: May 2024

O teatro, como disciplina multidisciplinar, tem ao longo da história da humanidade uma grande variedade de estudos sobre as suas implicações artísticas. O estudo arquitectónico de edifícios dramáticos acarreta, no entanto, uma falta de relação com o autor e com os textos das obras neles representadas.
Esta pesquisa propõe a concepção e aplicação de uma metodologia mista para o estudo do uso espacial no edifício teatral baseada na análise de textos dramáticos e sua aplicação em suas diferentes tipologias de construção sincrônicas. Esta análise baseia-se no estudo detalhado desde a perspectiva arquitectónica dos paratextos espectaculares expressos nos signos verbais ou através das anotações ou didascálias dos referidos textos que por vezes chegam à hipertrofia. De forma prática, nesta pesquisa esta metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa é aplicada ao Hamlet de Shakespeare e à peça de Pirandello, Esta noite improvisa-se. Em ambos os casos, as implicações que o texto dramático produz na utilização da arquitectura teatral são extraídas das referências estabelecidas pelos autores nas suas arquitecturas sincrónicas: nos dois estudos de caso, o teatro elisabetano e o teatro italiano. A partir desta metodologia serão verificadas as repercussões que o espaço arquitetônico causa na literatura teatral e vice-versa.
Muéstrame un héroe: el heroísmo como recurso masculinizante en el discurso de Depor.com durante la cobertura de la clasificación peruana a Rusia 2018
Authors:   , Mejía Yóplac Rodolfo Omar
Published: June 2024

El tema de la presente investigación es el uso del heroísmo como recurso masculinizante en el discurso de Depor.com durante la cobertura de la clasificación peruana a Rusia 2018. Para eso, se ha analizado, primero, el papel que cumplen tanto el heroísmo como el fútbol en la construcción y reafirmación de un modelo hegemónico de masculinidad. Con estas definiciones se realizó una revisión de un grupo de notas publicadas por Depor.com durante la que fue una de las campañas más memorables de la historia reciente de la selección peruana de fútbol. Las publicaciones elegidas fueron aquellas en la que el medio usa términos relacionados al heroísmo y se pudo reconocer en ellas una tendencia a la exaltación de rasgos asociados con el mundo masculino como la fortaleza, la violencia y el patriotismo. Además, la narrativa empleada tiene una clara inclinación a magnificar los logros de sus protagonistas y, sobre todo, a individualizarlos. Todo ello termina componiendo un ideal masculino que se convierte en referencia y en un modelo a seguir que no está necesariamente cargado de connotaciones positivas.

Authors:   , Arteaga Pardo Johan Bernabé , Culaca Diaz Alexis David
Published: June 2024

La escasez de agua es un problema de gran importancia en la ciudad de Lima Metropolitana. Alrededor de 1.5 millones de habitantes de Lima carecen de acceso a agua potable en sus viviendas debido a la escasez y falta de suministro. Lo cual ocasiona desigualdad social y aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades asociadas al almacenamiento inapropiado de agua. Sin embargo, las estadísticas revelan que el consumo de agua potable excede en dos o incluso tres veces el suministro mínimo establecido por la OMS, además, se usa un desmedido volumen de agua potable para la mezcla de concreto en el sector de la construcción, la cual es una industria que está en auge en la ciudad de Lima. Con el propósito de afrontar este desafío, se plantea la reducción del consumo excesivo de agua potable en la preparación de mezclas de concreto. Para ello, se propone un diseño de concreto que aproveche aguas residuales domésticas tratadas en lugar de agua potable para la elaboración de mezclas de concreto simple, las cuales se utilizarán en la fabricación de mortero y elementos no estructurales en viviendas multifamiliares. Esta estrategia busca optimizar el uso de recursos hídricos y promover prácticas más sostenibles en la construcción, contribuyendo así a mitigar los efectos de la escasez de agua potable. Con el fin de lograrlo, se llevarán a cabo los diseños y ensayos requeridos por la normativa NTP para garantizar la calidad del concreto simple. Además, se aplicarán en elementos no estructurales de viviendas multifamiliares en Villa El Salvador, con el objetivo de compararlos y determinar, de manera técnica visual, las diferencias entre aquellos fabricados con agua potable para verificar su viabilidad en su aplicación en la construcción.

Published: June 2024

El tema de tesis desarrollado en la investigación corresponde a la propuesta arquitectónica de un “Centro de Investigación y Difusión de la Flora en Pachacamac”, el cual surge gracias a la necesidad de promover el entorno natural, pues la falta de interés que existe hacia este se ve reflejado en la infraestructura que lo investiga y en su pérdida progresiva. Para esto fue necesario el análisis de proyectos referenciales, antecedentes históricos, la utilización de normas referentes al tema y el exhaustivo estudio de las características más relevantes del lugar, el cual se encuentra próximo a las Lomas de Lúcumo y al valle agrícola de Lurín. Ante esto, el proyecto se basa en crear espacios dignos para la investigación científica y difusión de la flora, además de brindar áreas de huertos a la comunidad, los cuales sirven de recreación y promoción esta. Por lo que, la constante relación con el exterior es un factor relevante que influye en el diseño de este proyecto, y se logra a través de la creación zonas intermedias, iluminación natural, tecnologías y materiales que reduzcan el impacto con el medio ambiente. Por todo lo mencionado se concluye que el tema de tesis es aquel que enfrenta los distintos aspectos sociales, formales, funcionales y tecnológicos, para lograr un proyecto idóneo, donde el objetivo final es la conservación del entorno natural.
Vivienda integral para el adulto mayor independiente en San Isidro
Authors:   , Oliveira De Almeida Giulia
Published: June 2024

En Lima, en el Perú, y en el mundo en general, no es otorgada suficiente importancia a la tercera edad y sus complejas necesidades; como la salud, atención, independencia y equilibrio emocional. La mayoría de las edificaciones en Lima están pensadas para jóvenes y adultos jóvenes, sin tener en consideración que los ciudadanos de mayor edad también necesitan espacios dedicados a ellos y sus necesidades especiales; aunque muchos pueden gozar de salud, el paso del tiempo es un efecto inevitable. Vivimos en una época en la cual, la idea tradicional de un adulto mayor ya no representa la mayoría de esta población. Gracias a los constantes avances de la tecnología, cada vez vivimos más y mejor, la mayor parte de personas mayores aún trabaja y aspira lograr metas en sus siguientes años. En el Perú específicamente, la idea de una población mayor activa es algo nuevo pero que viene ganando fuerzas en los últimos años. La necesidad de combatir la soledad y aislamiento de la tercera edad, y reintroducirlos a la sociedad es uno de los desafíos que no son discutidos con la frecuencia necesaria. Por lo tanto, con este proyecto, se propone un modelo residencial que pueda albergar a usuarios que busquen reconquistar o preservar su independencia, que ansíen por el valor de vivir en comunidad y por seguir viviendo de forma activa, porque aún hay mucho por delante.

Authors:   , Caballero Rojas Marcia Alexandra , Alvarez Marmanillo Mayra Alejandra
Published: June 2024

Introducción: Los factores sociodemográficos influyen en las prácticas preventivas contra el COVID-19. Analizar la asociación de estos factores con el nivel de prácticas preventivas, es crucial para orientar el desarrollo de futuras campañas de prevención dirigidas a estudiantes de medicina como sus familiares. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre la edad, sexo, lugar de procedencia y distrito de residencia con el nivel de práctica de las medidas preventivas para COVID-19 en estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (Lima, Perú) y familiares durante el periodo de la pandemia COVID-19 entre 2020 - 2021. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo, analítico y de corte transversal con una muestra total de 238 personas mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se aplicó una encuesta validada por expertos a estudiantes de medicina de cuarto año y a sus familiares en una universidad privada de Lima, Perú. El análisis se realizó con STATA, utilizando chi2 para el bivariado y regresión logística multinomial para el multivariado. Resultados: Del total de encuestados 134 fueron estudiantes y 104 familiares. El análisis bivariado reveló asociaciones significativas entre el nivel de prácticas preventivas contra el COVID-19, la edad y el distrito de residencia en los familiares (p<0.05), y solo con la edad en estudiantes (p<0.05). El género femenino predominó en ambos grupos (63.43% y 68.27%, respectivamente), con la mayoría en el rango de edad de 18 a 28 años. Respecto al nivel de prácticas preventivas, predominó el nivel regular en estudiantes (85.07%) y familiares (73.08%). Conclusiones: La edad fue el factor con mayor fuerza de asociación al nivel de prácticas de medidas preventivas en estudiantes de medicina. Tanto la edad como el distrito de residencia fueron factores sociodemográficos fuertemente asociados al nivel de práctica de medidas preventivas en familiares de los estudiantes de medicina. Se sugiere que los programas de prevención contra el COVID-19 se enfoquen en grupos etarios específicos y consideren el contexto de residencia.
How Will Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Influence Tax Administration in Developing Countries?
Authors: Arewa Moyo
Published: June 2024

This paper explores the potential benefits and risks to tax administrations of implementing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), a digital version of national currencies that is gaining momentum worldwide. It outlines some of the key features of CBDCs and then considers their implications for tax administration in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) generally. The emergence of CBDCs provides LMICs with a significant opportunity to improve financial inclusion, improve payment systems and increase tax collection. CBDCs provide greater transparency, security and traceability, which could help tax authorities track income and net worth, detect tax evasion and increase tax revenue. However, there are also complex combinations of risks associated with deploying CBDCs. The revenue authorities need to thoroughly assess how they should adapt to these challenges. Governments must also ensure that CBDCs are developed and implemented transparently, fairly and consistently with broader public policy goals. This will help maximise the potential benefits of CBDC adoption while mitigating the risks – which may be particularly significant in LMICs.
Cameroon’s Tax on Mobile Money: Implications for Agents' Performance and Revenue Sustainability
Authors: Noah Alphonse , Tacneng Ruth
Published: June 2024

Mobile money taxation gives African governments an opportunity to broaden their fiscal base and explore new revenue-generating possibilities. Cameroon introduced a 0.2 per cent tax on mobile money transfers and withdrawals from 1 January 2022. Our research analyses the behaviour of agents, who act as intermediaries between mobile money account holders and mobile money service providers, before and after the tax on mobile money (MM tax). Agents play a key role in the distribution of mobile money services. Their presence is vital for achieving financial inclusion, especially in areas less served by banks and other traditional financial service providers. An agent’s revenue is mainly derived from commission earned on each transaction – they receive an average of 40–45 per cent of the commission, and the remaining 55–60 per cent is shared between the mobile network operator, partner banks, and agent’s manager (superagent). Given their importance in the mobile money ecosystem, factors that negatively affect the attractiveness of the business for agents could have policy implications on financial inclusion.

Authors: Alexandria Stephanie  , Liesa Z Subuh  , Doni Setiawan  , Yugos Juli Fitra
Published: June 2024

Highlights:

The rare nature of Orbitocranial Injury with Intraorbital Foreign Body (IOFB).
Utilizing a 3D Head CT Scan to ascertain the precise location of the IOFB and its impact on anatomical structures is pivotal in shaping immediate treatment strategies, thereby reducing the potential for complications.

Abstract:
Introduction:  Penetrating intraorbital foreign body (IOFB) injuries are a rare form of traumatic injury. Recognized as a surgical emergency, meticulous history-taking and a thorough examination are essential for determining the trauma's mechanism and cause, facilitating accurate diagnosis and effective disease management.
Case Illustration: In the emergency room, a 5-year-old female patient was presented with a craniofacial injury resulting from an IOFB. An evacuation procedure, conducted through a subsidiary incision, was performed to extract the foreign body. Interestingly, the object removed from the orbital cavity was a plastic foreign body, initially suspected to be a fractured orbital bone.
Discussion: The clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of orbital foreign body injuries can differ based on the material composition of the foreign body. In cases of intraorbital foreign body trauma, the primary treatment goal is foreign body removal.
Conclusion: Precise and accurate initial management in the emergency department is crucial. Early diagnosis, aided by a 3D head CT scan, is instrumental in locating the IOFB and identifying the involved anatomical structures. This, in turn, enables timely treatment decisions to minimize the risk of complications.

Published: June 2024

Highlights:

Fire is the most frequent cause of burns, while thermal contact is the least common.
Mortality rate with revised Baux score in burn patients with inhalation injury showed a significant relationship.

Abstract:
Introduction: Burn trauma has quite a high mortality rate in Indonesia. One of the scoring systems that is straightforward to apply is the revised Baux score. However, there is no standardised scoring system that is currently in use in our institution. Therefore, the purpose is to determine the feasibility of using this scoring system in our population's features.
Methods: This research is a retrospective study with research design case control design using secondary data in the form of medical record data from patients with acute burn trauma that were admitted to Burn Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in Surabaya between January 2019 and December 2021. All the data will be divided by their group and analysed with SPSS software.
Results: The study found significant relationships between several factors and mortality rates among burn patients. Age, total burn surface area percentage, presence of inhalation injury, and the revised Baux Score all showed significant correlations with mortality rate (p < 0.005). Specifically, among burn patients with inhalation injury, the correlation between mortality rate and revised Baux score remained significant (p=0.002).
Conclusions:The study revealed that age, the percentage of total burn surface area, and the presence of inhalation injury are significantly associated with mortality rate among burn patients. Additionally, the revised Baux Score was identified as a useful tool for predicting the prognosis of burn patients with inhalation injury. These findings emphasize the importance of these factors in assessing and managing outcomes for burn patients, particularly those with inhalation injury.

Published: June 2024

Highlights:

Surgical site infection during caesarean section can cause complications, thereby increasing maternal mortality and morbidity, especially in groups at risk.
VAC therapy can stimulate granulation tissue formation so that primary wound junctions occur.
VAC shows its ability to close wounds entirely within 3-4 weeks.

Abstract:
Introduction: Wound disruption following caesarean sections is a common issue that can increase maternal mortality and morbidity. Several factors have been identified, including maternal, procedural, and antibiotic factors. The re-suturing method,  primer, and secondary suture often fail, causing recurrent and delayed healing.
Case Illustration: CASE 1: A 26-year-old woman, 7 days post-caesarean section, presented with a wet wound and yellowish serous fluid. Three weeks later, wound dehiscence occurred despite re-debridement and re-suturing. Subsequent installation of VAC resulted in granulation tissue and re-epithelialization. CASE 2: A 32-year-old woman, 14 days post-caesarean section, complained of weakness and pus in the surgical wound. Upon examination, a red-yellowish fluid was found, indicating wound dehiscence. Re-debridement and VAC installation led to the formation of granulation tissue and re-epithelialization.
Discussion: VAC is the new wound care technique that suctions or collects excess exudate that absorbent gauze cannot accommodate. In comparison, absorbent gauze is limited in its capacity to absorb the fluid that produced in wounds. An innovation where the use of VAC, which has a negative pressure function, can stimulate granulation tissue to form and can bind the edges of the  wound so that it can close naturally.
Conclusion: In instances of wound disruption following surgery, such as in the case of a caesarean section, it may be prudent to contemplate re-debridement followed by re-suturing. VAC presents itself as a viable alternative for managing wound dehiscence until the formation of granulation tissue.

Pedoarchaeological study of the remains of a building on the territory of the Old Slavic site (the settlement of Mik-hailovsky Cordon — the Slavic Borshevo Culture of the late 1st mil. AD) in the Voronezh region were carried out in order to obtain new data on the layout of the settlement, the type of housing building, life sustainability, economy, and residen-tial use. The main purpose of soil research was the identification of the nature of the use of the building and the recon-struction of the economic activities in the adjacent territory. The determination of organic and mineral forms of phos-phates, urease activity, and the quantity of microorganisms of various trophic groups in the ‘natopt’ (trampled soil) at the bottom of the pit and in the soil outside of the building was carried out. It has been established that the most pro-nounced traces of economic activity have been preserved in the soils to the west of the building where the summer stove was located. In this area, the content of phosphates reached 2 mg P2O5/g soil. The soil to the northeast of the construction pit is characterized by the accumulation of organic matter, which is confirmed not only by a high content of organic phosphorus, but also by rather high quantity of saprotrophic bacteria, indicating organic contamination of the soil, which suggests the ingress of organic substrates into the soil (manure, feces, household waste). The values of many indicators of anthropogenic activity inside the building turned out to be unexpectedly low. As such, the low content of phosphates, saprotrophic bacteria and keratinophilic fungi in the analysed ‘natopt’ in the building at the bottom of the pit indicate a low intensity, or periodic use of the premises.

This short communication paper provides a critical analysis of a study conducted by El-Ashry et al. on the impact of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. ACT, a form of contextual cognitive behavioral therapy, aims to improve individuals’ relationship with their thoughts and feelings without altering their form or frequency. The study focuses on the six core processes of ACT, which collectively enhance psychological flexibility, which are crucial for mitigating psychological inflexibility—a root cause of human suffering. The paper emphasizes the role of values in ACT, highlighting how they guide patients with schizophrenia toward meaningful life directions. It addresses the challenges these patients face, such as experiential avoidance and fusion with hallucinatory voices, which often lead to actions incongruent with their values. The study by El-Ashry et al. revealed that patients with schizophrenia often suffer from psychological inflexibility due to experiential avoidance and fusion, leading to a misalignment with their values. Furthermore, the paper discusses the methodology used in ACT sessions, including the “choice point model” to enhance self-awareness and metaphorical videos to illustrate the concept of value-driven behavior. The research indicates that recognizing and committing to personal values can significantly impact the treatment and management of schizophrenia, especially given the social and symptomatic challenges these patients face. The paper concludes by stressing the importance of starting ACT sessions focusing on values to empower patients. It underlines how value clarification and commitment to value-congruent tasks can positively influence patients’ responses to their hallucinations and overall quality of life.

Phospholipase in buck seminal plasma will trigger a coagulation incident resulting in the demise of the spermatozoa during liquid semen processing using milk or egg yolk substrates diluent. A plasma replacement process is performed to avoid this possibility. The cryopreservation process leads to sperm cell damage due to the freezing process, therefore cryoprotectant agents such as saccharides are required as protective agents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of various types of saccharides on the quality of frozen semen of etawah crossbreed (PE) bucks during cryopreservation and thawing with plasma replacement using Priangan ram semen plasma. Semen was collected using an artificial vagina once a week. Fresh PE bucks semen centrifuged at 3,000 RPM for 30 min. The supernatant (seminal plasma) was removed and replaced in equal volume with Priangan ram seminal plasma. Semen was divided into four treatments: goat semen with sheep semen plasma in Tris diluent (control); control with 0.6% dextrose added (monosaccharides); control with 0.6% sucrose added (disaccharides); control with 0.6% raffinose added (trisaccharides). Semen quality including percentages of motile spermatozoa, live spermatozoa, and intact plasma membrane (IPM) were evaluated after diluted, equilibrated, and thawing, respectively. Results of this study showed that viability and IPM of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and trisaccharides were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control (54.40 and 51.40; 55.00 and 53.60; 55.60 and 52.20 vs 48.40 and 52.20, respectively). The motility of disaccharides was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to control and other diluent (47.00 vs 41.00, respectively). In conclusion, different types of saccharides were effective in maintaining the quality of etawah crossbreed buck frozen semen. The addition of disaccharides seems more effective compared to monosaccharides and trisaccharides in tris extender on the quality of etawah crossbreed buck frozen semen.

The farmers have encountered challenges in conducting livestock trade due to the absence of dealer activity caused by Anthrax and Foot Mouth Disease (FMD) epidemics. In this context, it is crucial to utilize technology in livestock marketing to obtain current market information from distant marketplaces and reduce the risk of contagion. To meet these purposes, a mobile phone application has been developed in order to be used by cattle farmers; after that, market testing has been conducted to gain feedback and determine the segmentation. Thus, the study aimed to examine the differences in the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and social impact amongst farmers who are willing and unwilling to embrace a mobile phone application for digital marketing. A total of 968 cattle farmers were surveyed with stratified random sampling techniques in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data obtained were analyzed using mean difference inferential analysis. The result showed that farmers with various categories of age, education, farm revenue, farmers group, farmer experience, cattle ownership, and regions have significantly different (p<0.01) perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PE), and social influence (SI) on mobile applications for livestock digital marketing. Furthermore, farmers willing to adopt mobile application have significantly higher (p<0.01) PU, PE, and SI factors. This study recommends mobile app developers evaluate potential user needs and background factors that may influence farmers' interest.
