Published: July 2024

У статті обґрунтовано актуальність резильєнтності та емоційного менеджменту як інструментів психологічної стійкості сучасного педагога. Описано відмінності між цими поняттями та їх спільні властивості; визначено нові ролі сучасного вчителя та потребу в нових компетентностях; проаналізовано феномен резильєнсу та емоційного менеджменту в контексті впливу на психологічний стан учителя та його соціальні адаптивні можливості; здійснено аналіз наукових праць, в яких висвітлено питання резильєнтності; досліджено важливість резильєнтності як складової професійної майстерності сучасного педагога в контексті побудови емоційно комфортного освітнього середовища. Визначено, що стійкість і регуляція емоцій у розвитку стійкості особистості педагогічного працівника є важливою складовою його професійної компетентності. Доведено, що формування стресостійкості вчителя допоможе йому подолати негативні наслідки стресових ситуацій, захистити себе від дезінтеграції та різноманітних розладів, створити основу для внутрішньої гармонії та високої працездатності, визначити успішність його професійної діяльності та, головне, зберегти здоров’я. Обґрунтовано, що стійкість і вміння керувати своїми емоціями залежить від внутрішніх і зовнішніх факторів і репрезентує важливі навички сучасного вчителя, які забезпечують якісний результат роботи, допомагають краще адаптуватися в нових ролях і дозволяють створити емоційно комфортний освітній простір. Це ефективне планування часу, вміння розслаблятися, розуміння своїх емоцій, самоконтроль, позитивний настрій, фізична активність тощо. Набір якостей, якими має володіти сучасний учитель і бути водночас тренером (той, хто допомагає дитині досягти певної мети і приймає дитину з усіма її особливостями), фасилітатором (той, хто допомагає ефективно працювати в команді), модератором і новатором (постійно проводить дослідження і вносить нові пропозиції), тьютором (людина, яка працює з дитиною індивідуально, знаючи її освітні потреби, проєктує навчальну діяльність і організовує зворотній зв'язок для розуміння ефективності своєї роботи).

Published: July 2024

У статті проаналізовано проблеми реалізації освітньо-наукових проєктів у галузі ІТ в умовах війни, коли реформування освітньо-наукового середовища, зокрема проєктної діяльності, що передбачає обмін досвідом, стажування, проєктування на міжнародному рівні, значно ускладнилося. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що минулого року Мінцифри разом із МОН та індустрією розробили план реформи айті-освіти, мета якої полягає в тому, щоб закрити потребу ринку в якісних спеціалістах, а українцям допомогти опанувати нову професію. Проєкти з безоплатного навчання українців ІТ-спеціальностей сьогодні дуже актуальні, адже складні реалії війни знизили фінансові можливості українців щодо оплати навчання й поставили на перший план потреби життєзабезпечення. Зазначено, що на загальнодержавному рівні активно ведеться регіональна діяльність у сфері ІТ-проєктів. Це стосується, зокрема, Львівського ІТ Кластеру. Інновації, нововведення та модернізація освітньої системи разом із максимальним залученням експертів та менторів ІТ-компаній сприяють підсиленню бренду наукового та студентського Львова. Відповідно до потреб ІТ-індустрії збільшується кількість випускників технічних спеціальностей у Львові. Досліджено діяльність асоціації «IT Ukraine», що є лідером з розвитку ІТ-освіти в Україні. Проєкти, розроблені нею, стосуються міжнародної освітньо-наукової мобільності викладачів і студентів. Також створено проєкти для школярів, які хочуть дізнатися більше про сферу ІТ та отримати базові знання й навички в розробленні програмного забезпечення. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що міжнародні фахівці, аналізуючи командні проєкти інформаційних технологій у вищій освіті, на основі практичного досвіду зазначають, що часто студенти останніх курсів бакалаврату інформаційних технологій займаються проєктною діяльністю й залучаються до аналізу, проєктування та розроблення інформаційно-технологічних послуг чи продуктів, а це сприяє набуттю досвіду для майбутньої реалізації у професії.

Published: July 2024

In the presented work, a computer model of thermodynamic and gas-dynamic processes in a rocket engine of a new type, which uses solid polymers as fuel is considered. The design feature is the presence of a central body - a gasification chamber, where solid polymer fuel is decomposed into volatiles. To conduct the research, a preliminary thermodynamic analysis of the combustion of gasification products was carried out. Based on the results of the thermodynamic analysis using the mathematical model of the turbulent flow of viscous compressible gas, the processes of gas dynamics and heat transfer in the chamber and nozzle of the rocket engine were simulated. Analyses are made for the geometry of a real experimental sample of a polymer-fueled rocket engine developed at Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (Ukraine), which has passed the first successful tests. As a result of CFD simulation, dynamic and thermal fields in the combustion chamber and engine nozzle were obtained, and ways of further improvement of the design were determined.

The research aimed to quantify the uncertainty in hydrological modeling results, especially in data-scarce areas like the Teesta River. The developed grid-based model from Texas Agricultural and Management University (TAMU) with the help of simulation plugin Quantum Soil and Water Assessment Tools (QSWAT) and calibration (CAL) & validation (VAL) using SWAT-Calibration Uncertainty Program (CUP). Multiple algorithms Minimize & Maximize (MIN & MAX), specifically with Sequential Uncertainty Fitting Version-2 (SUFI-2) algorithm (Best fitted simulation), were used as the popular for the many ideal simulations as possible that are within 95% of the true predictions. The research investigated how eleven different objective functions (OBJF) influenced the CAL results, parameterization, and surface water estimation for the stream flow of the Teesta River. While several OBJF performed well, eight of them, namely Chi-square (Chi2), Multiplicative (Multi), Modified Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency factor (MNSE), Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), summation (SUM), Coefficient of determination (R2), Modified coefficient of determination (bR2), and Relative Squared Error (RSR), consistently yielded very similar results because of mostly used MIN methods. For instance, NSE resulted in a CAL & VAL score of 0.85 and 0.88, while R2, MNSE, and bR2 had scores of 0.88 and 0.89 during both CAL & VAL periods. All results from NSE, R2 and bR2 show a correlation between 0.84 to 0.90. However, other OBJF provided slightly different sensitivity values. The Percentage Bias (PBIAS) scored 0.76 for CAL and 0.77 for VAL. The Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE) scored 0.79 during both the CAL & VAL periods. Additionally, the sum of squares (SSQR) obtained shallow values for both CAL & VAL processes. The aforementioned research shows that varied OBJF can affect CAL findings and hydrological modelling parameter values, emphasizing the need to use several OBJF in uncertainty analysis for more accurate water resource estimation the calibrated model and its outputs aid hydrologists and water resource administrators in agricultural and water assessment. They also support research on climate change's effects on water supply and quality, droughts, and food. The unique idea and flexible techniques make them suitable for most countries.

Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and IOT for Soldier Rescue : A Review
Authors: H S Harshitha , Nagaraja J
Published: July 2024

Despite the well-established influence of various factors on a soldier's burden – including environment, physical exertion, equipment design, and mental stress – our current understanding is largely based on studies conducted in controlled lab settings, focusing solely on the weight of carried equipment. This limited scope hinders a comprehensive picture of how these combined burdens impact a soldier's ability to survive on the battlefield, encompassing factors like performance, health, and vulnerability to enemy attacks. To bridge this gap and gain a more holistic understanding, field-based methods for capturing soldier movement are crucial. In this vein, we've developed a novel human activity recognition system. Trained using data collected from a single sensor placed on a soldier's upper back, the system can identify eleven distinct tactical movement patterns commonly employed by soldiers in the field. This advancement paves the way for a more nuanced understanding of how various burden factors interact and influence a soldier's effectiveness and safety in real-world scenarios. Using K- Nearest Neighbour, SVM Classifier, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayer algorithms real-world constraints are forced, and class labels are expanded. This project is based on health monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The proposed system can be mounted on the soldier’s jacket to track their health status and current locating using GPS. This information will be transmitted to the control room through IOT and ML. The proposed system comprises of tiny wearable physiological equipment’s, sensors, transmission modules. Hence, with the use of the proposed equipment, it is possible to implement a low-cost mechanism to protect the valuable human life on the battlefield. It also includes about securing of data of soldiers in the cloud. This new method offers a powerful tool for military leaders and scientists. By collecting real-world data on soldier burden, it allows them to quantify the complex factors affecting soldier performance (the tradespace). This data acts as valuable pre-processing for other technologies, ultimately enabling data-driven decisions to optimize soldier well-being, minimize risk, and maximize mission success.

Background: Paclitaxel is a cytotoxic drug belonging to the taxane family, widely used in medical oncology, such as in breast cancer, in which it has demonstrated great efficacy, whether as metastatic or adjuvant treatment. Paclitaxel's main toxicities are immediate anaphylactic reactions and peripheral neuropathy. The occurrence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is an unusual event.  The Clinical Case: This is a 53-year-old Moroccan woman, treated for breast cancer; she was put on sequential adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. She received 3 courses of Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide without incident and then we started weekly Paclitaxel. From the very first courses, the patient presented with continuous but moderate headaches, and a cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which was confirmed and treated in the neurology department. The patient progressed well, allowing the 12 courses of paclitaxel to be continued.  Conclusion: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is an unusual complication of paclitaxel. The occurrence of headache or other neurological symptoms in a patient being treated for breast cancer requires an urgent brain MRI, particularly to look for brain metastases.

We present the first JWST/NIRCam observations of the directly imaged gas giant exoplanet β Pic b. Observations in six filters using NIRCam's round coronagraphic masks provide a high-signal-to-noise-ratio detection of β Pic b and the archetypal debris disk around β Pic over a wavelength range of ∼1.7–5 μm. This paper focuses on the detection of β Pic b and other potential point sources in the NIRCam data, following a paper by Rebollido et al. that presented the NIRCam and MIRI view of the debris disk around β Pic. We develop and validate approaches to obtaining accurate photometry of planets in the presence of bright, complex circumstellar backgrounds. By simultaneously fitting the planet’s point-spread function and a geometric model for the disk, we obtain planet photometry that is in good agreement with previous measurements from the ground. The NIRCam data support the cloudy nature of β Pic b’s atmosphere and the discrepancy between its mass as inferred from evolutionary models and the dynamical mass reported in the literature. We further identify five additional localized sources in the data, but all of them are found to be background stars or galaxies based on their color or spatial extent. We can rule out additional planets in the disk midplane above 1 M
Jup outward of 2″ (∼40 au) and away from the disk midplane above 0.05 M
Jup outward of 4″ (∼80 au). The inner giant planet β Pic c remains undetected behind the coronagraphic masks of NIRCam in our observations.
Multiple Flux Rope Dynamics: MMS Observations and Reconstruction Results
Authors: Teh Wai-Leong
Published: July 2024

A series of six ion-scale magnetic flux ropes (FR1–6) and a thin current sheet, encountered by Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft in the magnetosheath side of the dayside magnetopause boundary layer, are studied for multiple flux rope dynamics in terms of energy conversion and two-dimensional geometry structure. The thin current sheet is identified in between FR1 and FR2. The energy exchange between electromagnetic fields and plasmas is dynamic in FR1–5 and also surrounding the flux ropes, while a low-energy conversion rate is seen in FR6. Different energy conversions exist in the flux ropes: energy dynamo is predominant in FR1 and FR5, while energy dissipation is dominated in FR2–4. Both the energy dynamo and dissipation primarily result from j
∥
E
∥. Strong dissipation, surrounded by an energy dynamo, happens at the thin current sheet and is accompanied by ion agyrotropic behavior. From the reconstructed magnetic field maps, the estimated aspect ratios of the six flux ropes are 0.78, 0.16, 0.66, 0.11, 0.40, and 0.46 in order, and the thickness of the thin current sheet is ∼63 km (∼1.8 ion inertial length). Evidently, the magnetic field map shows that FR4 is a coalescing flux rope where a pronounced dissipation is present. The overall finding agrees with the previous simulation studies of multiple island coalescence.
Statistics of Energy in Isothermal Supersonic Turbulence
Authors: Rabatin Branislav , Collins David C.
Published: July 2024

Supersonic isothermal turbulence is a common process in astrophysical systems. In this work, we explore the energy in such systems. We show that the conserved energy is the sum of the kinetic energy (K) and Helmholtz free energy (F). We develop analytic predictions for the probability distributions, P(F) and P(K), as well as their nontrivial joint distribution, P(F, K). We verify these predictions with a suite of driven turbulence simulations, finding excellent agreement. The turbulence simulations were performed at Mach numbers ranging from 1 to 8, and three modes of driving: purely solenoidal, purely compressive, and mixed. We find that P(F) is discontinuous at F = 0, with the discontinuity increasing with Mach number and compressive driving. P(K) resembles a lognormal with a negative skew. The joint distribution, P(F, K), shows a bimodal distribution, with gas either existing at high F and high K or at low F and low K.

La tendresse dans le contre-transfert
Authors: Schwering Karl-Leo
Published: July 2024

L’importance des affects dans le travail clinique a été progressivement reconnue depuis que Winnicott s’est consacré à en dégager un aspect particulièrement vif : la haine du clinicien pour le patient. Mais qu’en est-il de l’amour, et en particulier une de ses manifestations, la tendresse ? Découvrir et éprouver de la tendresse pour le patient dans le contre-transfert s’avère indispensable pour soigner les effets de la détresse, et donc du traumatisme. En particulier en cas de maladie grave, à l’hôpital.
Le deuil épistémique : trajectoires familiales et sociales vers la radicalisation « hybride »
Authors: Veissière Samuel , Johnson-Lafleur Janique , Ngov Cindy , Savard Christian , Rousseau Cécile
Published: July 2024

Cet article s’appuie sur les résultats d’une étude menée en partenariat entre une équipe pluridisciplinaire de cliniciens en santé mentale de Montréal, spécialisés en intervention auprès de personnes attirées par ou engagées dans l’extrémisme violent, et une équipe de recherche qui documente et étudie les interventions de l’équipe. L’étude documente l’émergence de systèmes de croyances de plus en plus dystopiques, hétérogènes et violents, particulièrement chez les jeunes. La perte de confiance dans les institutions et un malaise autour des représentations et rôles de genre sont des thématiques récurrentes. Une analyse des dynamiques familiales et sociales dans les trajectoires de patients attirés par l’extrémisme violent suggère l’existence de processus traumatiques de quête de sens et d’appartenance qui font écho à des mécanismes de perte, de régression et de deuil. Les auteurs proposent de concevoir ce mécanisme comme un « deuil épistémique » qui pourrait aider à expliquer l’émergence d’idéologies hybrides dans le paysage de l’extrémisme violent.

Authors: Kuo Ju-Chuan , Liao Hui-Yen , Chen Shiu-Ping , Pai Hsiang-Chu
Published: July 2024

Purpose:

To explore the relationship among resilience, stress, and demographic factors in certified nursing assistants (CNAs) who worked in long-term care institutions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Method:

A cross-sectional correlation-based research design was used. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Occupational Stress Scale. CNAs from 21 long-term care institutions in Taiwan were recruited.

Results:

This study included 118 female and 26 male CNAs (response rate = 80%). Mean age was 46.8 years. A moderately negative correlation was found between workplace resilience and stress. Overall, being a woman and parent were found to be significantly correlated with CNAs' resilience. Furthermore, resilience and shift work were important predictors of stress.

Conclusion:

We suggest that leadership and management pay more attention to CNAs' basic demographic background information. Furthermore, timely, relevant strategies can be provided to enhance resilience and reduce workplace stress. [

Budget constraints in critical scenarios: A position paper on the challenges to improving building performance
Authors: Bonifaci Pietro , Copiello Sergio , Donati Edda
Published: July 2024

This position paper aims to pave the way for a debate on a few under-explored, at least, perhaps even neglected, challenges we face when trying to improve building overall performance. Specifically, we suggest focusing on how the efforts to increase building energy efficiency, building safety, the home and workplace healthiness, and the comfort perceived by the users can be impaired by budget constraints, especially while operating in critical scenarios. On the one hand, restraints on capital expenditures by property owners and other investors affect the decision-making processes for the construction of new buildings or the renovation of existing ones. More beyond, rapidly developing demographic and other anthropological changes, as well as frequently occurred natural disasters, pose extra burdens on the players in the building industry and the real estate market. It has been a fact that the need to adapt to both budget constraints and challenging situations is seldom fully embedded in the studies focusing on improving building performance. Therefore, we call for attentions in research and publications to advocate for complementing the need.
“Os chineses são universais, estão a invadir toda parte”: rumores e tensões acerca da presença chinesa no comércio cabo-verdiano
Authors: Venancio Vinícius
Published: July 2024

Os rumores, boatos e fofocas são parte constitutiva das sociedades e possuem um papel fundamental na coerção, controle e disciplinarização dos indivíduos em prol da coesão social. Eles tendem a emergir em momentos de tensões sociais e choques civilizacionais, a fim de dar respostas e saídas para os eventos que deles emergem. Tendo esse cenário em mente, o presente artigo tem por objetivo compreender o papel dos rumores produzidos e partilhados por comerciantes cabo-verdianas que versam sobre a presença de imigrantes chineses no país para a construção das imagens que representam este grupo. Para isso, analiso dois contextos etnográficos e comerciais profundamente marcados pela presença de mulheres cabo-verdianas e pela concorrência da diáspora comercial chinesa: o do comércio transnacional de produtos industrializados em Mindelo, na ilha de São Vicente, e o de produção e venda do artesanato “genuinamente” cabo-verdiano no mercado de souvenirs na ilha de Santiago.
« Ne sçachant que c'est de trahison ny infidelité » : fidélités multiples et conflits de loyauté au sein de la diplomatie française dans le Saint-Empire (années 1590 - années 1620)
Authors: Desenclos Camille
Published: July 2024

« Honorable espion », le diplomate sert son souverain à la fois en faisant preuve d’une fidélité absolue à son égard et de transgression morale au sein de sa cour de résidence (corruption, espionnage, désinformation). Cet équilibre, plus précaire encore compte tenu de la marge de manœuvre générée par l’éloignement, semble être maîtrisé par les agents diplomatiques, y compris dans des contextes aussi troublés que la fin des guerres de Religion ou les débuts de la guerre de Trente Ans. Pourtant, certains agents, comme Jean Péricard, ambassadeur auprès des Archiducs de Flandres (1616-1624), sont accusés de trahison, en raison de leur fidélité, réelle ou supposée, à un patron lui-même accusé de trahison. Inversement, Étienne de Sainte-Catherine, résident auprès de l’électeur palatin (1612-1620), cherchant à passer au service du duc de Wurtemberg, n’est nullement accusé de trahison. À partir des parcours des agents diplomatiques français dans l’Empire, il s’agit donc d’interroger les diverses configurations et articulations de la fidélité au sein du service diplomatique à travers l’appréciation des fautes, de l’infidélité à la trahison, qui leur sont imputées
Des traîtres au socialisme ? La trahison dans les relations entre socialistes et communistes durant l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Gasteuil Quentin
Published: July 2024

De leur séparation en décembre 1920 à leurs éphémères retrouvailles à partir de 1934, les socialistes et les communistes français sont intimement reliés par le motif de la trahison. Celui-ci intègre les identités politiques de chacun des acteurs et est utilisé à des fins de mobilisation politique. Toutefois, la trahison ne se donne pas à dire et à voir de la même manière suivant les moments, les échelles, les acteurs. Le présent article entend donc caractériser cette notion qui exclut l’autre autant qu’elle l’intègre dans son univers politique. Il s’attache également à analyser les différentes déclinaisons et fonctions d’un objet mouvant qui s’ancre autant dans les idées que dans le verbe et dans l’action
Être libre et sans roi ? Nationalisme et antimonarchisme au Québec et en Écosse
Authors: Elmerich Jérémy , Dauphin Thibaut
Published: July 2024

Independence, as a political quest for nationhood, does not sit well with the existence of a monarch in whom such sovereignty resides. The Scottish reality, however, is more nuanced in this respect. This article analyses anti-monarchist arguments in the Quebec (1980 and 1995) and Scottish (2014) referendum campaigns, through the prism of the functions associated with the monarchy as a symbol of unity, as the embodiment of a national history, as the guardian of liberal democracy and a certain notion of equality, of a moral and religious order redefined as a collective ethos to better suit the course of modernity. The analysis shows every function of the monarchy is targeted by nationalists. This is true of its symbolic dimension, seen as a mere accessory, but also of its position in the institutional architecture, where its role as guardian of social unity in the face of the division inherent in democracy is turned against it. It is then described as fundamentally inegalitarian and responsible for the injustices perpetrated against Francophones in Canada. However, the monarchy is treated very differently in the two territories, ranging from indifference and disdain in Quebec to an intimate relationship that is difficult to question in Scotland.
Influence of Aging Condition on the Characteristics of Continuous Precipitates of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy
Authors: Zindal Anuz , Jain Jayant
Published: July 2024

The aim of this work is to evaluate the characteristics of continuous precipitates (CP) developed within the grain and grain boundary precipitates through statistical analysis of the number density and size (i.e., length and width) at varying aging conditions of AZ80 Mg alloy. Scanning electron microscopy illustrates the characteristics and features of precipitates, distinctively. The results reveal an increment of number density, whereas the reduction in the size of precipitates with decrease in the aging temperature for the varying aging times. The variation in hardness values at different aging conditions has been ascribed to this.

Copper (Cu) foam is a promising material that owns a high surface area that can be utilized in a thermal application. In this research, the brazing of Cu substrate to Cu foam in the sandwich configuration using Cu alloy filler foil was carried out. The foam at different pore per inch (PPI) of 15, 25 and 50 are brazed at different brazing temperatures. Mechanical and microstructure analysis were conducted to investigate a suitable brazing temperature and the best pore density of foam. The compressive strength of brazed 50 PPI foam has yielded the highest due to the highly dense interconnected branches. While the highest shear strength of brazed interface using 15 PPI foam has been recorded. The large branch size of 15 PPI foam has contributed to the sound joint between the brazed joint interface of Cu substrate and foam. Both mechanicals analysis above exhibits a highest strength at 660 °C as a brazing temperature The shear stress-strain curve of Cu substrate and foam brazed joint interface shows a brittle behaviour which accordance with the discoverable brittle phases of Cu3P and Ni3P using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) have presented the formation of Cu3P and Ni3P at the brazed joint interface of Cu substrate and foam.

A porous nickel (Ni) was brazed to copper (Cu) and stainless steel 304 (SS304) using VZ2250 and MBF67 brazing filler metal with a composition of 77.4Cu-9.3Sn-7.0Ni-6.3P and 64.5Ni-25Cr-6P-1.5Si (Cu: Copper, Sn: Tin, Ni: Nickel, P: Phosphorus, Cr: Chromium, Si: Silicon), respectively for joint microstructure and mechanical properties analysis. Porous Ni with a pore density of 15 pores per inch (PPI) was sandwiched between Cu/VZ2250 and MBF67/SS304. A brazed joint of Cu/Porous Ni/SS304 with VZ2250 and MBF67 brazing filler metal was prepared in a high vacuum furnace at different brazing times of 5, 10, and 15 minutes for 1015 °C with a heating and cooling rate of 10 °C/min, respectively for comparison purpose. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the brazed joint were investigated to identify the joint ability after the brazing process. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the interfacial microstructure by the formation of the diffusion filler metal (dark grey colour) for the Cu/Porous Ni/SS304 with VZ2250 and MBF67 brazing filler metal. For shear strength tests, the value decreases with an increase in the brazing time. The shear strength tests for the brazed joint of Cu/Porous Ni/SS304 with VZ2250 and MBF67 brazing filler metal show the maximum shear strength test value can be achieved for the brazing time of 5 minutes. The decreasing shear strength value was observed with differences in structural data of porous Ni due to the softening after the brazing process. Keywords: Brazing, Microstructure, Porous Nickel, Shear Strength.
A challenging Paediatric Airway Management; Acquired Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula Following Accidental Ingestion of a Metal Bobbin
Authors: Lochanie Puwackwaththa Arachchige Nimali , Rajasiri Laknath , De Alwis Champika
Published: July 2024

Acquired trachea-esophageal fistula formation is a rare, life-threatening complication of delayed presentation of foreign body ingestion. Airway management of such a patient is a significant challenge to the anaesthetist due to air leak from the defect leading to difficult oxygenation and ventilation and gastric insufflation. The paediatric age group adds to the difficulty because of small airway caliber and difficult lung isolation.Multidisciplinary team involvement and close communication, prior imaging to identify the anatomy, and planning were vital for successful outcome.

Published: July 2024

Background: Laparoscopic procedures done using capnoperitoneum causes altered enzyme activity, which is subclinical most of time hence goes undiagnosed, leading to life threatening complications in patients with compromised hepatic function. Studies on altered hepatic enzyme activity has been done on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and seldom on laparoscopic non biliary surgeries, which we encounter daily. Hence aim of study was to compare effects of capnoperitoneum on liver functions in biliary and non-biliary surgeries.Methods: This prospective clinical observational study was conducted after obtaining institutional ethical clearance. Study was done on 60 patients undergoing surgeries. They were divided into two groups biliary and non-biliary based on undergoing surgeries. Patients blood sample was collected preoperatively and 24 hours postoperative for accessing liver enzymes. Statistical analysis done using SPSS version 23.  Shapiro- wilk, paired ‘t’and chi- square tests were used to analyse the data. P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.Results: The comparative parameters liver enzymes done pre and post operatively in biliary group total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin and in non-biliary group aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin were statistically significant.Conclusion: Post operative elevation in liver enzymes was found in both biliary and non biliary surgeries but enzymes specific to liver injury was found in biliary group.
