Published: September 2024

Background: Post-operative analgesia is of vital importance to prevent various undesirable side effects such as respiratory complications, venous thromboembolism, and increased hospital stay. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and Quadratus lumborum (QL) block has been used for post-operative pain relief in various abdominal surgeries as part of the multimodal analgesic approach. Therefore, this randomized, prospective study was conducted to compare the post-operative analgesic efficacy of QL block and TAP block in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesia, Analgesia, Palliative & Intensive Care Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. Patients of ASA status I and II, planned for total abdominal hysterectomy under spinal anaesthesia were selected and randomly allocated into two groups (Group A – TAP Block and Group B – QL Block). Hemodynamic status, time of onset of sensory block, mean duration of postoperative analgesia, the amount of rescue analgesic requirements as well as intensity of post-operative pain were assessed at different point of time. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess the postoperative pain. Total morphine consumption in 24 hours and time required for 1st postoperative analgesic were recorded.Results: A total of 60 patients were included in this study. The onset of sensory block was faster in Group B than A (22.6±6.5 min & 16.3±5.2 min). VAS score was higher among group A at 10th hours and 18th hours. In case of group B, VAS score was more at 14th hour. Post operatively 1st demand of analgesia was earlier in Group-A (10.4±1.5 vs 14.1±1.7) (p< 0.001). Total analgesic requirement was higher in Group- A than Group B (18.7±4.6 vs11.2±3.8) (p< 0.001).Conclusion: Quadratus Lumborum Block produces longer duration of analgesia, provides optimum post-operative pain control and maintain an excellent hemodynamics than TAP block in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
Pada Mulanya adalah Aku-Engkau

Kesetaraan gender tetap menjadi topik penting dalam diskursus teologis. Narasi penciptaan dalam Kejadian 1-3 secara historis telah diinterpretasikan melalui lensa androcentris dan misoginis, yang kemudian melanggengkan pandangan teologis yang memarginalkan perempuan. Interpretasi-interpretasi semacam ini diwariskan selama berabad-abad, yang berkontribusi pada kerangka teologis yang menempatkan perempuan pada posisi subordinat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk secara kritis meninjau pembacaan androcentris dan misoginis terhadap Kejadian 1-3 dalam tradisi Kristen, serta menawarkan reinterpretasi naratif yang mengungkapkan wawasan hermeneutik yang mendukung kesetaraan gender. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penelitian kualitatif, khususnya studi pustaka, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hubungan awal antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam Kejadian 1-2 mencerminkan dinamika "Aku-Engkau," yang kemudian terpecah menjadi hubungan "Aku-Itu" setelah peristiwa Kejadian 3. Penelitian ini mengadvokasi umat Kristen masa kini untuk memulihkan dinamika hubungan awal tersebut dengan menolak segala bentuk ketidaksetaraan gender.

Authors: Jahangir Memoona , Zehra Amena
Published: September 2024

Objective: The objective of the review is to understand multifaceted construct of alexithymia and its association with psychosocial variables.
Method:  A thorough examination of the literature on the construct of alexithymia was conducted, encompassing studies published over several years. The empirical findings over the years regarding various psychosocial variables, including attachment styles and empathy were also reviewed. The Sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidity of alexithymia with other mental health conditions were also analyzed.
Results: The review revealed that attachment bond plays a significant role in the development of alexithymia, childhood trauma due to unhealthy mother-infant bond can be one of the reasons for difficulty in understanding emotions which leads to difficulties in empathy as well. Furthermore, alexithymia has been found to be comorbid with depression, anxiety, autism and other mental illnesses.
Conclusion: The findings of the review suggests that alexithymia is an important construct which can influence various psychosocial aspects of life. Although some of the variables have been extensively studied, much remains to be unclear. Further research will add up value to comprehensively evaluate the impact of alexithymia on psychosocial aspects
Keywords: alexithymia, psychosocial perspective, attachment styles, empathy.

Authors: Suleman Fawad , Noor Noshaba , Iqbal Samiya , Sher Zainab , Noor Mohsina
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a hereditary endocrine condition, defined by insufficiency of enzymes that cause abnormalities in adrenal steroidogenesis, resulting in adrenal insufficiency and hyperandrogenism. In adults, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia has been linked to a lower quality of life (QoL). However, research in children has yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of CAH on the quality of life of children and adolescents.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the Quality of Life of children and adolescents with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).
METHODS: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with six months duration. We enrolled all children and adolescents in the range of 8 to 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with CAH. The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (QOL-BREF) instrument was used for data collection. Four health domains including physical, psychological, social, and environmental areas were assessed, with higher transformed scores indicating better QOL. Data was entered on SPSS Version 23.
RESULTS: Our study population comprised of 30 children and adolescents with a mean age of 12.75 ±3.23 years. Mean transformed scores of physical, psychological, social, and environmental health domains were 31.37±12.15, 45.13±12.50, 34.8±20.49 and 37.6± 12.06 respectively.
CONCLUSION: The quality-of-life score in our population was relatively low in the physical and social domains of health as compared to psychological and environmental health domains. Larger community-based studies are required to further elaborate the causes and remedies of poor quality of life in children and adolescents.

Authors: Enema Ryan , Quezon Marissa
Published: September 2024

This study delved into the dynamics of the photography services market, focusing on identifying key determinants influencing consumer demand. Amidst the growing recognition of photography as a blend of art and essential service, marked by projected market growth, this research aimed to bridge the knowledge gap between what photography businesses offer and consumer expectations. Utilizing a descriptive correlational design with regression analysis, the study explored the significant impact of marketing mix elements (product, price, place, promotion, people, process, physical evidence) influencing the decision-making process in choosing photography services. The investigation extended to determining the demand for specific photography services (weddings, debuts, birthdays) and scrutinizing the relationship between marketing strategies and service demand. Through comprehensive data gathering and statistical analysis, this study emphasizes the crucial role of marketing mix elements in shaping consumer decisions, particularly highlighting the 'people' aspect's significance in enhancing consumer satisfaction through superior service quality and customer interactions. It advocates for increased staff training and professional development investment to improve service quality. Place is the only significant determinant of demand among the marketing mix elements. This study tested the hypotheses on the non-significance of marketing mix elements in determining demand, offering insights into effective strategies for photographers and their businesses.
INNOVATIVE FOOD WASTE RECYCLING METHODS FOR AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors:   Graduate student, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA, Sakib Arfanul Ibna Mustafa
Published: September 2024

This systematic review investigates innovative food waste recycling methods and their contributions to agricultural sustainability, focusing on four key approaches: composting, anaerobic digestion, biochar production, and vermiculture. 45 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024 were analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review demonstrates that these methods significantly improve soil health, increase crop yields, and reduce environmental impacts. Composting enhances soil structure and moisture retention, while anaerobic digestion offers dual benefits of biogas production and nutrient-rich digestate. Biochar production improves soil aeration, water retention, and carbon sequestration, contributing to long-term climate change mitigation. Vermiculture, a low-cost method for small-scale farmers, produces high-quality compost with enhanced nutrient content. However, scalability and economic feasibility remain key challenges across all methods. Technological advancements, such as automation and machine learning, offer promising solutions to improve the efficiency and scalability of these recycling methods. The review identifies critical gaps in the literature, particularly regarding the long-term impacts of these methods and the economic barriers to their widespread adoption. Future research should focus on addressing these challenges and exploring policy interventions to promote broader implementation, particularly in under-resourced regions. These findings suggest that food waste recycling plays a vital role in achieving a circular agricultural economy and advancing global sustainability goals.

Published: September 2024

This research consists of discussing the real importance of professional social workers when analyzing the granting of continuous provision benefits carried out by the National Social Security Institute. To this end, the theme of the benefit in question is initially addressed, its concepts, requirements and disability assessment procedure, carried out by social assessment and medical expertise. Understanding the disability assessment tool demonstrates the progress that the inclusion of social services has brought to the concession process. However, it makes it clear that improvements need to be sought to fairly guarantee the rights of the vulnerable population. The study was carried out through a bibliographic and documentary survey, about books, dissertations and scientific articles with an approach around the analyzed topic, with the aim of building a well- founded theoretical framework. In short, it was concluded that the presence of the social worker in the evaluation stages for granting social support is fundamental, although it requires reforms in the evaluation tools used by the social security authority, to achieve the right to social security established in the Brazilian system.

CIRURGIA DE REMOÇÃO DE MUCOCELE: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Martins Emanuel Asaph de Azevedo , Melo Diana Fernandes de
Published: September 2024

As mucoceles são lesões pseudocísticas benignas comuns na cavidade oral, causadas principalmente por trauma ou obstrução ductal. Existem dois padrões histopatológicos principais: o fenômeno de extravasamento de muco (FEM), que é mais frequente, e o fenômeno de retenção de muco (FRM). O FEM ocorre predominantemente no lábio inferior, enquanto o FRM é mais comum em pacientes idosos e localiza-se em áreas como o palato e o assoalho da boca. Clinicamente, as mucoceles se apresentam como nódulos indolores, de aparência cística, com coloração azulada a transparente. Embora as lesões por extravasamento possam se resolver espontaneamente, algumas requerem intervenção cirúrgica, podendo ser tratadas por micromarsupialização, criocirurgia, injeções de esteroides ou laser de CO2. A identificação correta dessas lesões é crucial para o manejo clínico adequado, uma vez que podem ser confundidas com outras condições, como penfigóide, líquen plano ou herpes recorrente. O tratamento envolve geralmente a remoção cirúrgica seguida de análise histopatológica, sendo essencial para o diagnóstico preciso e para a prevenção de recidivas.

Existem diferentes sistemas de manejo, como no extensivo, semi-intensivo e intensivo. No extensivo, os animais vivem em áreas abertas, com acesso a pastagem, um ambiente que busca replicar o mais próximo do seu modo em vida livre. Com a garantia da liberdade no sistema extensivo têm os níveis de estresse reduzidos promovendo o bem-estar, mas, em contrapartida, a integridade destes animais também é ameaçada por várias doenças. Surge a indagação se os equinos que vivem em sistema extensivo sofrem influências em relação ao manejo sanitário diferenciado. Para dar conta de responder essa dúvida, o trabalho tem como objetivos identificar os limites e possibilidades encontrados no manejo sanitário de equinos em sistema extensivo de criação, analisar quais principais aspectos que limitam o manejo sanitário adequado dentro de um sistema extensivo de criação e esclarecer sobre as possibilidades existentes para aumentar a qualidade no manejo extensivo desta criação.  Trata-se de uma Pesquisa de revisão integrativa sistemática de cunho qualitativo onde a busca pelas publicações se deu no portal de periódicos brasileiro incluindo trabalhos de língua inglês e português. Foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo após a sistematização de seleção dos artigos totalizando 20 publicações. O objetivo do estudo foi alcançado a partir do momento que se conseguiu observar as dificuldades encontradas dentro do sistema de criação extensivo. Contudo, é evidente a necessidade de estudos adicionais sobre a aplicação de tecnologias e a otimização de práticas para responder às peculiaridades deste sistema.
FROM PERSECUTIONS TO DOMINATION: SHAPING THE IDENTITIES OF EARLY CHRISTIANS. AN ARCHEOLOGICAL-HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE IN THE NORTHERN ILLYRICUM
Authors: Jeremić Gordana
Published: September 2024

Archaeological testimonies of Early Christianity in the area of Northern Illyricum come from a relatively late period in regard to the edge of the Medi- terranean basin, in which Christianisation had already begun during the time of the apostles. With their edicts, issued in the first decades of the 4th century, two emperors, Galerius and Constantine I, who originated from these areas, set the foundation for free institutional shaping of the Christian community, which they recognised as a growing force in the Late Antique society. Man- ners in which the Christian community was shaped and reacted to the com- plex social-economic conditions during this forming period, can be seen from archaeological traces registered, most prominently, in larger urban centres of Northern Illyricum. The decline of the imperial and administrative power of the state, especially during the 5th and the 6th century, which led to a loss of territories and concessions under the pressure to allow barbarian tribes to settle on Roman soil, with the inclusion of barbarians in the top of the chain of command of the Roman army, led to a loss of control in managing complex relations, in which the Christian Church appeared as a mediator and a factor which brought together all members of the Roman society. This Church–state alliance enabled stability of sensitive zones of the Empire, and the intense policy of Christianisation and taking over certain administrative-governing jurisdic- tions only increased the power of the Church in Late Antiquity and led to its domination in the Roman society.
ORIJENTALNO DRUGO: PROSVETITELJSKI ORIJENTALIZAM I IZAZOV STRANOG (na primeru Monteskjeovih Persijskih pisama)
Authors: Janković Pivljanin Stanka
Published: September 2024

This paper addresses Said’s view that every kind of Orientalism, as various discourses related to the Orient, is necessarily colored by the attitude of the Oriental as an inferior Other, pointing to the special literary and cultural climate of the 18th century, started with the humanistic initiatives of the 16th century. We first show how the attitude towards Orientalism devoloped, how it influenced the change of consciousness and how the cultural-historical framework was formed for the whole series of literary works that Aravamudan will classify as Enlightenment Orientalism. We point out how the Oriental, as an ever-per sisting European Other, played a vital role in the secularization of knowledge, anti-dogmatism, perspectivism and relativism, influencing the dominance of certain literary genres. The attitude towards the Other/Oriental has changed from the effort to annual and abolish it, through the attempt to understand and compare it with one’s own, to the assimilation and crossing of two cultures and civilisations by means of intercultural dialogue. Therefore, we will present, first, in brief, the cultural aspects of the challenge of foreign and oriental, and then, follow the ways of mastering under the foreign in the influential Montesquieu’s Persian letters. We will also take into account the view of Bernharnd Waldenfels in the role of the foreign in epistemological and identity reflections, showing that the challenge of the foreign necessarily stands at the beginning of every hermeneutics, as well as identity and epistemological reflections.

NEMATERIJALNO KULTURNO NASLEĐE I PITANЈE IDENTITETA ZAJEDNICE
Authors: Matić Miloš
Published: September 2024

The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which was adopted by UNESCO in 2003, as well as other documents related to the preservation of cultural heritage, are declaratively associating the notion of cultural heritage with the identity of communities or groups and proposing that preservation of cultural heritage represents preservation and expression of the identity of persons who recognize certain heritage as their own. This paper is defining the general issues of understanding the relationship between the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and the identity of communities. The thesis is that the issue of identity is embedded in the process of creation of the said Convention, but in such a way that it leaves open possibilities of different interpretations of the concept of intangible cultural heritage, in terms of its use as a means of expressing identity. The basic ways of applying the convention and its instruments are discussed from the aspect that within the idea of cultural diversity they may produce cultural parochialism, from which separations arise between communities instead of the intended unification and mutual tolerance of differences. One particularly problematic aspect is cultural reductionism, which leaves the possibility of creating artificial identities of communities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network plays a crucial role in monitoring electricity consumption behavior by collecting real-time data from various connected devices. Utilizing cluster analysis algorithms, researchers can effectively segment and analyze consumption patterns within a network environment. By grouping similar usage behaviors, these algorithms reveal insights into energy efficiency, peak usage times, and anomalies in consumption. The paper presents a novel methodology for analyzing and classifying users' electricity consumption behavior, utilizing the Clustering Behavior Analysis Weighted Classification (CBAWC) algorithm. By leveraging cluster analysis techniques and weighted classification, the proposed approach allows for the segmentation of consumers into distinct clusters based on their consumption patterns. Through the application of CBAWC, the study provides insights into the diverse behaviors exhibited by consumers, ranging from moderate to high consumption levels, varied peak hours, and peak days. The classification results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm in accurately assigning users to their respective clusters, enabling stakeholders to better understand consumption trends and tailor energy management strategies accordingly. Through the application of CBAWC, consumers are segmented into distinct clusters based on their consumption patterns. For example, clusters exhibit varying average daily consumption levels, with Cluster 1 consuming around 300 kWh, Cluster 2 consuming approximately 450 kWh, and Cluster 3 consuming about 280 kWh on average. Additionally, clusters display different peak hours per day and peak days per month. The classification results demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness, with high accuracy scores ranging from 0.86 to 1.00 across different user groups.

Introduction: In Indonesia, colorectal cancer ranks fourth in cancer incidence, with an estimated over 30,000 new cases each year. This study aims to investigate the association between colorectal cancer recurrence rates and CEA levels, histopathology, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and lymphatic invasion at H. Adam Malik Central General Hospital, Medan. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigates the correlation between colorectal cancer recurrence and clinical parameters such as CEA levels, histopathology, TIL, and lymphatic invasion using retrospective data from patients at H. Adam Malik Central General Hospital in North Sumatra. Results:  Out of 75 patients identified, 45 met the inclusion criteria. The study found significant relationships between recurrence and CEA levels (p=0.007), histopathological grade (p<0.001), and lymphovascular invasion (p=0.026), while tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes showed no significant correlation (p=0.358). Conclusion: Colorectal cancer recurrence are primarily shown in male patients with rectal and sigmoid tumors, predominantly adenocarcinoma at stage IIb. Significant CEA levels, moderate histological differentiation, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and lymphovascular invasion were identified.
Cosmopolitan Islamism and its Critics
Authors: Chammah Maurice
Published: September 2024

4Shbab is an emerging music-television channel based in Cairo, financed by Saudi investors, and directed towards a global Muslim public. Through its programming and the public and private statements of its main producer, Ahmed Abu Haiba, it hopes to articulate a source of entertainment set apart from other music video channels by a religiously motivated practice of selecting material based on moral or ethical criteria. Abu Haiba was able to solicit funding for the channel, in his explanation, by seeking investors in Saudi Arabia, who historically have spent the most on media and have, by his account, an “Islamic culture” with stronger roots, as opposed to Egypt, where that culture is, in his view, a “political trend”. He explained to these investors, and then to me, that music channels generally take 14 percent of advertising revenue, while religious channels take 5 percent. 4Shbab would thus be able to combine both sources, with profits expected after three years (press conference, 5 March 2009).
News Consumption among Young Libyan Adults

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the relationship between Libyan university students' consumption of Libyan and international Arab satellite TV news services and their perceptions of gratifications received from these news services. A self-completion questionnaire survey was administered to a sample of 400 university students that asked about the news consumption habits, reasons for watching specific TV news services, and personal details. The findings revealed that time spent with local TV news was negatively related to reported use of international TV channels. Students said that they got less news than they desired from local TV, especially the long-established Al-Jamahiriya TV channel. The data indicated that the new satellite broadcast international news service, Al Jazeera, played an important role in serving these young Libyans with the types of information they need. The findings are discussed in relation to the growing impact of international satellite broadcast news services and the need for local TV news services to find ways of making themselves distinctive in a way that provides an alternative but still relevant and valued news source.
Rebuilding Egyptian Media for a Democratic Future
Authors: Aly Ramy
Published: September 2024

The protests around Tahrir Square and other urban areas in Egypt represented a revolutionary moment in which the class, sectarian, gender and regional fractures and dynamics of Egyptian society were temporarily suspended. The protests, which were driven by a number of political and socio-economic factors, were significantly a rejection of the social and cultural consequences of life in the shadow of authoritarianism. Most Egyptians have been alienated from political participation and from an iterative relationship with the state and its institutions through an inclusive public sphere. The atmosphere of common purpose, free expression, tolerance and inclusion experienced by protesters between January 25 and February 11 has already led to significant changes in attitudes and practices around the ownership of public space, freedom of expression and the right to mobilize. For many, one of the most promising potentials of the revolution lies in the prospect that it might lead to a fundamental cultural re-imagining of the nation, of difference, inclusion and citizenship. However, the manner in which the revolutionary moment is now subject to cultural narrativization and canonization suggests the persistence of particular representation practices which should be met with caution.
Tales of 9/11 – What conspiracy theories in Egypt and the United States tell us about ‘media effects’
Authors: Marmura Stephen
Published: September 2024

In the years following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Americans have been subjected to extensive polling to better gauge their knowledge, opinions, and attitudes about such matters as the threat posed by terrorism, the nature of Islam, the scope of the Patriot Act, the wisdom of US military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, and other issues pertaining to foreign policy and domestic security. Many of these survey findings appear worrisome, particularly from a civil liberties perspective. For example, public support for the unprecedented surveillance measures undertaken by the Federal government after 9/11 has remained high, while negative attitudes towards Islam and/or Muslim-Americans have increased (Harris Interactive 2004; Pew Research 2003, 2006). However, while such attitudes may be cause for concern, they are perhaps unsurprising given the quality and quantity of US media coverage devoted to these issues. Equally troublesome, but far more perplexing are public beliefs about the alleged relationships between the former Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and 9/11.
Financial Crisis in the UAE – A Paralysis of Analysis
Authors: Potter Sam
Published: September 2024

At times during the global financial crisis the international press has been ruthless in its analysis of the impact felt by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and in particular Dubai. Yet in the country’s local press, its problems were tackled with kid gloves – when they were tackled at all. For a long time, the local media were loath to even admit the UAE was affected. Many observers suggest that the government exercised censorship over the issue, instructing media outlets to toe the line or else. But the truth is more subtle, as contributor Sam Potter explains. It’s a comparison that’s barely worth making. One is a globally famous newspaper of 225 years' standing, headquartered in one of the world’s great capitals (population 7 million plus), and, though recent years have seen a decline in circulations, it still boasts a paying audience of more than half a million. The other is a mere 32 years old. It is published from a city with some 2.5m inhabitants, and reaches an audited audience of 115,366.

This article discusses the theory naming system of the Kazakh and Bashkir languages. The main sections of Kazakh and Bashkir onomastics are described, the degree of study of its individual sections is analyzed, according to which the course of development of Kazakh and Bashkir onomastics is determined. Although the main sections of onomastics are currently studied in detail, its individual areas still require study and systematization. In this regard, the historical materials that were guided in the study of onomastic space make it possible to identify the linguistic connection of onomastic units, show their connection with the history and culture of the people, as well as to cite the continuity of some phenomena in the formation of historical Kazakh and Bashkir names with a certain period of public life. As a result, it is established that in the basic vocabulary of Kazakh and Bashkir names, along with common Turkic words, other elements are used, and the lack of consistency in modern Kazakh surname writing, and in modern Bashkir, models of writing a person's last name (patronymic) are formed in accordance with the word-forming patterns of the Russian language, are shown on the basis of specific language data.
