“Rule of Five” in Ureteral Dilatation and its Role in Ureteral Access Sheath Placement during Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
Authors: Venkatachalapathy Vigneswara Srinivasan Sockkalingam , Palathullil Datson George , Abraham George Palathullil
Published: May 2023

Purpose:

Sequential ureteral dilatation facilitates placement of ureteral access sheath during retrograde intrarenal surgery. The authors adopted some improvisations in conventional sequential ureteral dilatation methods to achieve improved ureteral accommodation and prefer to call the sequential ureteral dilatation performed with these improvisations as “Rule of five” (ROF) ureteral dilatation. The objective of the article was to describe the “ROF” ureteral dilatation technique and share the preliminary experience with the technique.

Materials and Methods:

“ROF” ureteral dilatation involves repetitive dilatation of ureter for five times by 10 Fr ureteral dilator, with each dilatation lasting for 5 s. The technique was used in patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for renal calculi and in whom 12 Fr ureteral dilator passage and 9.5/11.5 Fr ureteral access sheath placement was not possible by conventional sequential ureteral dilatation methods. Preliminary efficacy and safety outcomes were reported.

Results:

“ROF” ureteral dilatation was performed in 14 renal units. Ureteral access sheath placement was successful in 10 renal units (71.4%) and unsuccessful in 4 renal units (28.6%). Ureteral access sheath associated low-grade ureteral wall injury was noted in 2 renal units (14.3%). None had new onset hydroureteronephrosis in follow-up ultrasonography and all patients were asymptomatic in the follow-up period.

Conclusion:

“ROF” ureteral dilatation is an improvisation of conventional sequential ureteral dilatation. It facilitates successful and safe ureteral access sheath placement in a proportion of patients undergoing sequential ureteral dilatation.

Design and Analysis of Urban Land Lease Price Predicting Model Using Batch Gradient Descent Algorithm
Authors: Berhane Niguse Kifle
Published: May 2023

Standard and econometric models are appropriate for causal relationships and interpretations among facets of the economy. But with prediction, they tend to over-fit samples and simplify poorly to new, undetected data. This paper presents a batch gradient algorithm for predicting the rice of land with large datasets. This paper uses a batch gradient descent algorithm to minimize the cost function,  iteratively with possible combinations of the number of iterations i=1500 and learning rates, of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 for the linear regression case and i = 100, 0.3, 0.2, and 0.1 for the multiple regression case. The paper uses Octave-4.0.3(GUI) for implementing 129 samples of the lease bid price of Mekelle City as training sets and feature inputs of two and three for linear regression and multiple regressions. Using  = 0.01, the best fitting parameters found by training the dataset are with a cost of J=67.82. The model predicts with an accuracy of 92.6% using LR and 91.15% using MLR for a 315 m2 land size. As the learning rate increases, the fitting parameters increase and decrease respectively with an equal cost but the model’s prediction error increments slowly. With multiple regression, as the learning rate lowers, the model under fits prediction drastically (with an accuracy of 60%) with gradient descent and predicts with an accuracy of 91.5% with ordinary equations. So, prediction with ordinary equations provides the best fit for multiple regressions.

Published: May 2023

BPJS Kesehatan initiated an operational study on the implementation of the INA-CBGs and Global Budget mixed- method hospital payment system. Since 2018, trials have been carried out in 5 districts and 30 hospitals. In contrast to the INA-CBGS system, the Global budget is a method of hospital funding paid in advance by BPJS Kesehatan for all services/activities for one year that in its calculation it will consider the number of services in the previous year, upcoming activities to be carried out, and hospital performance. The trial will carry out in three stages, namely the Non-Risk Global Budget, the Partial Risk Global Budget and the Full Risk Global Budget. In its implementation, although the global budget has been initiated since 2018, the model or formulation in implementing the global budget policy still requires further study. The purpose of this study is to see the process of implementing the trial and obstacles arises to find the most suitable implementation model. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research subjects were Sumedang District General Hospital, Pakuwon Hospital and Harapan Keluarga Hospital. Since September 2020 they begin to receive real quarterly payments with a non-risk stage to hospitals. The amount of withhold used in this study is 30%. The amount of the budget is calculated based on the calculation of the last three years from the hospital's financial records. Preliminary results, shows that this trial is still ongoing and to continue the payment system for the second stage, the hospital withdrawn their participation is this program as there are discrepancies in the way of calculating finances in setting the budget, determining of the amount of risk that must be borne by both parties and the withhold policy. which is considered burdensome by the hospital, especially for regional general hospitals.

At the time of writing, the government of Republic of Indonesia releases the warning the danger of new variant of Covid-19, Omicron XBB. Long after people get used to live on “the new life after pandemic”, we might perceive that the danger of Covid-19 has no longer considered as threatening as it used to before. Looking at how people perceive their life after new normal, this study aims to describe the conceptualization of Covid-19 newest variation, Omicron XBB, in online mass media.  This study is conducted using a qualitative descriptive method that aims to depict how online mass media conceptualize the newest variation of Covid-19, Omicron XBB today. The data were gained from the news headline on online mass media in Indonesia, ranging from October to mid Desember 2022, and were analysed using the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT).

Published: May 2023

The inappropriateness in use of public monies has been cited as a major distractor towards achievement of development goals enshrined in our constitution. It has been largely attributed to the procurement practices adopted. The main objective of this study was to determine effects of information technology on service delivery of County governments in western Kenya region. The target population for this study entailed 228 officers who were categorized into chief officers, Directors, Finance officers and procurement officers. This study employed stratified random sampling towards picking a sample of 174 respondents. Information technology from the findings of this study had a significant effect on the delivery of services among counties in western Kenya region. Particularly, as Information technology changes by one unit, service delivery changes by 0.309 units units (β2=0.309, P<0.05). The F value obtained df (1,161) =84.947, P<0.05, that gave support to the goodness of fit of the model in adducing variance in the dependent variable. It meant too that Information Technology is a useful predictor of service delivery. This study therefore recommended that County Governments should view and treat information technology as a critical component and resource since its application in procurement activities improves delivery of services.

The problems of providing specialized nutrition and drugs for patients with rare diseases are currently one of the most discussed by medical specialists in various fields. These issues are especially relevant in light of the expansion of neonatal screening, which started in the Russian Federation in 2023, by expanding the list of rare diseases. The review highlights the current foreign practice of providing for certain categories of patients, primarily, children in need for long-term, sometimes lifelong use of specialized health food products. There is also considered the current situation in the Russian Federation, and the possibilities of domestic production of this category of food products. Currently, patients are provided with vital medical nutrition. The article discusses a number of problems associated with providing children suffered from hereditary and chronic pathologies with specialized nutrition, and first of all, these are patients identified by advanced neonatal screening. From the moment the diagnosis is established to the initiation of pathogenetic diet therapy, a certain time passes, sometimes, several months, which for patients with a high risk of metabolic crises (hereditary metabolic diseases) can be critical and, if untreated, lead to death. To solve these and other problems it is proposed to consider the possibility of centralized provision of specialized medical nutrition products to infants and young patients, attracting state charitable funds for the prompt supply of medical nutrition to patients who need it, the feasibility of optimizing the domestic system for covering the costs of specialized medical nutrition products. for patients with various pathologies who need them, regardless of the status of “disabled”.
The databases of The Rare Disease State Report Card, European Medicines Agency, PubMed, Consultant Plus, RSCI were used to search for material in the review.

Günümüzde çalışma hayatının doğası daha karmaşık, dinamik, çok daha esnek ve sanal hale dönüşmektedir. Böyle bir ortamda kurumlar rekabet avantajı elde edebilmek için çalışanlarının bağlılığına ihtiyacı vardır. Yapılan araştırmalarda örgütüne bağlı çalışanlar, ortalama ya da ortalamanın üzerinde performans gösterdikleri, daha az devamsızlık yaptıkları ve daha az işten ayrılmayı istedikleri sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.. Önemli çıktıları nedeniyle yıllardır hem araştırmacıların hem de uygulayıcıların ilgi odağında olan örgütsel bağlılığının öncüllerini iyi tanımlamak gerekir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, örgütsel bağlılık düzeylerinin demografik değişkenlere (cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, kıdem, eğitim düzeyi) göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını analiz etmektir. Ayrıca örneklemin örgütsel bağlılık düzeylerini, duygusal bağlılık, devam bağlılığı ve normatif bağlılık boyutları açısından incelemektir. Denizli ilinde faaliyet gösteren toplam 151 özel sektör çalışanları üzerinde yapılan çalışma verilerini analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre duygusal ve normatif bağlılığın yaş ve eğitim düzeyi değişkenlerine göre farklılaştığı; 31-40 yaş arası ve üniversite mezunu çalışanların bağlılık düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Örneklemdeki örgütsel bağlılık düzeyleri incelendiğinde, çalışanların genel olarak örgütlerine bağlı oldukları söylenebilir.
Kapitalizmin Deşifresi: Kapitalist-Entelektüel İttifakı ve Bilim Değerindeki Düşüş ile Yaşanılan İlkesizlik

Kapitalist ideolojinin iktisat-tarih mevzilendirmesiyle aldığı mesafe “geçmiş” ve “şimdi” değerlendirmeleriyle kazananların ve kaybedenlerin ilerlemeye dayalı bir tarihsel çizgide nasıl buluştuğuna şaşırmaktadır. Kapitalizm zulüm ve işgal ile değil, “garp kurnazlığı” ile geri kalmış toplumlara karşılık gelecek kültür coğrafyalarını hakimiyeti altına almıştır. Nitekim kapitalizmin gelişme süreci, bilime dört elle sarılan bakış açısı ile tarihçi ve iktisatçılardan geldi. Son üç yüzyıllık kapitalizmin tarihsel gelişim süreci konulara ilişkin can alıcı noktanın kapitalizm-bilim ittifakında düğümlendiğini gösterdi. Tarihi ilerleyiş sürecinde akan zamanla birlikte kapitalizm, bu toplumları söz konusu ittifaka dayalı yapısıyla “bütünüyle” biçimlendirdi. Toplumsal yapıda her ülkenin farklılığı üzerine giydirilebilecek “ideal ve tek üniforma” olarak ortaya çıkan kapitalizm kendini geri kalmış ya da azgelişmiş ülkelere “refah”, “mutluluk” ve “fayda” ölçümleriyle tanıtarak yer edinmiş ittifak çatısı altında dâhiyane bir biçimde geliştirilen yaklaşımlarla dünyada sömürü hâkimiyeti sağlamıştır. Çünkü kapitalizme yönelim geri kalmış ve azgelişmiş toplumlar için, bir “yıkılış” ve “başkalaşma” sürecidir. Bilim tarafına kulak verilecek olursa, iletilmek istenen mesaj bu toplumlar için fevkalade bir etkinleşmedir; “geride kalmaya”, “fakirliğe” ve “aşağılanmaya” dayalı geleneksel var oluşun bilimsel ve endüstriyel destekle bir medeniyet hamlesine dönüşmesidir. Düz bakışla bu bir koruma ve himayedir ancak derin bir bakışla 3. dünyada girişilmiş bir sömürgeleştirme faaliyetidir. Bu makale, kapitalizmin ikiyüzlü işleyişini, toplumsal kültür ve kimliğe sirayet edişini ve bir çözüm önerisiyle karşı direniş noktasını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Freire-CTS e/ou CTS-Freire?
Authors: De Azambuja Maraschin André , Medeiros da Fonseca Eril , Hernandez Lindemann Renata
Published: May 2023

Apresentaram-se e discutiram-se aproximações e distanciamentos sobre a Abordagem Temática Freireana e a Educação CTS no Ensino de Ciências, reconhecendo terminologias distintas: Freire-CTS e CTS-Freire. Com base nesses referenciais, realizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica de obras e publicações em periódicos, referentes a processos educativos e formativos. Considerou-se a escolha da temática, na qual a origem dos temas em Freire e em CTS é diferente, sobretudo, pela realização ou ausência do processo de Investigação Temática, bem como o foco das discussões e dos contextos abordados, em que as problemáticas assumem abrangências locais ou globais e, a depender da intencionalidade da proposta a ser desenvolvida, limitam-se a problematizações no campo científico-tecnológico ou considerando os múltiplos setores da sociedade. Argumenta-se sobre a importância de articular esses referenciais, almejando processos educativos e formativos mais críticos e que promovam a participação social.
Stand-up Comedy and Contemporary Feminisms
Authors: Tomsett Ellie
Published: May 2023

What are the barriers to women’s participation in live comedy, and how these barriers are maintained in the digital era?

In this book, Ellie Tomsett considers how the origins of stand-up comedy still impact on current live comedy production, and explains how the contemporary stand-up scene still reflects wider societal stereotypes about the capabilities of women.

Using primary data collected from women-only comedy nights and immersive research with the UK Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester, Tomsett analyses examples of stand-up performed by contemporary comedians - including Bridget Christie, Lolly Adefope, Luisa Omielan and Ava Vidal - and questions how these performances relate to conceptions of feminist and postfeminist humour, as well as notions of backlash against contemporary feminisms. She focuses on live comedy that is explicitly feminist to consider how social attitudes to women, the increasing visibility of female labour outside the home, and the emergence of multiple (and sometimes contradictory) feminisms has influenced the comedy produced by women comedians in 21st century Britain.
The Calling
Authors: Rodger Dianne
Published: May 2023

The success of the Hip-Hop album The Calling (2003) by the Hilltop Hoods was a major event on the timeline of Hip-Hop in Australia. It launched a formerly ‘underground’ scene into the spotlight, radically transforming the group members’ lives and creating new opportunities for other Hip-Hop artists. This book analyses the impact of the album by drawing on original interviews with fifteen Hip-Hop practitioners from across Australia, including artists who contributed to the album. These primary interviews are interwoven with material from media sources and close readings of song lyrics and album imagery. An exploration of the early histories of Hip-Hop in Australia with a focus on the formation of Obese Records and the Hilltop Hoods’ biography gives way to analysis of specific tracks from the album and the Hoods’ prowess as live performers. The book uses The Calling as a lens to examine the beliefs and practices of Hip-Hop enthusiasts in Australia, including changes since the album was released. Published in 2023 to coincide with the album’s twenty-year anniversary, the book is an engaging evaluation of a musical release that was so significant that people now use it explain two distinct periods in Australian Hip-Hop (pre or post The Calling).
Suffering Compatriots
Authors: Meijer Fons
Published: May 2023

Why do nations command such profound emotional legitimacy? This was
one of the central questions of Benedict Anderson’s 1983 seminal study
Imagined Communities. Only recently have historians turned their full
attention to the affective dimensions of nationalism and national identification.
They argue that emotions and feelings are key to understanding the
strong pull of nationalism on the lives of people. My chapter will single out
one such ‘national emotion’: compassion for fellow countrymen. Focusing
on the Netherlands of the nineteenth century, this article investigates
how moments of major catastrophe were appropriated by the authors of
poems and eyewitness reports to disclose the suffering of countrymen
in the struck area. They invited the public to affectively identify with the
victims’ anguish and misery, gave shape and meaning to these feelings
of compassion, and thus laid the emotional groundwork for strong ties
of national unity and belonging.
Coping with Epidemics in Early
Modern Chronicles, The Low
Countries, 1500–1850
Authors: Dekker Theo
Published: May 2023

Historians have hypothesised that the increase of medical knowledge
in the early modern period led to a shift away from religious towards
‘scientific’ explanations and prophylactic measures. The writings of
contemporaries belonging to the ‘middling’ ranks of society tell a different
story. This chapter presents a long-term perspective on how 104
non-medical experts coped with and reflected upon epidemics in the
Low Countries. By using the corpus of the Chronicling Novelty project, I
demonstrate that the middling sort used both religious and non-religious
practices side-by-side. I show that between 1500 and 1850, natural explanations
became more detailed and complex, but they remained in service
of, or subordinate to, divine explanations. Moreover, although the idea of
an angry and vengeful God was never far away, the notion of a benevolent
God gained prominence in the seventeenth century.
The Development of Disaster Prints
and Publications in Japan, 1663–1923
Authors: Jacoby Julia Mariko
Published: May 2023

Disasters such as earthquakes were an important topic of early modern
Japanese print media because the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603–1868)
censored political news. Beginning with the boom of the print market
in the seventeenth century, visual representations, narrative genres, and
tropes emerged in order to report, illustrate, and interpret disasters. They
also persisted after print culture was transformed through the arrival of
Western technology in the late nineteenth century. This chapter analyses
the development of single-page disaster prints and three prominent examples
of disaster publications – earthquake reports in book length – from
their beginnings to the Great Kantō Earthquake, by tracing selected visual
and narrative techniques and tropes: the catfish as a satirical symbol
derived from folkloric religion, the dramatic visualisation of threat from
earthquake and fire, visual and narrative representations of the spatial
extent and degree of damage, and the stories of individual experiences
told in increasingly standardised narrative genres.
Introduction
Authors: van Asperen Hanneke , Jensen Lotte
Published: May 2023

By examining disasters via the thematic fields of ‘emotion’, ‘blame’, and
‘time’, this edited volume opens up new viewpoints within historical
disaster research. The introduction places the individual contributions in
a theoretical context. Primarily, it underlines the importance of cultural
studies contending that media are crucial in shaping human perception
of destruction. After all, dissemination, interpretation, and signification
take place primarily through cultural media. To fully grasp the meaning
of a disaster to contemporaries and later generations, scholars should
analyse representations of these events, using multidisciplinary methods
of history, art history, and literary studies. Only then can we identify
voice, medium, discourse, and communities involved in production,
perception, and transmission of disaster experiences. Subsequently, it
becomes possible to identify general patterns and, more importantly, to
carefully scrutinise historical sources.
Bedaquiline: An Effective Anti-tuberculous Drug with Novel Mechanism of Action
Authors: Lin Zaw , Arnold Dâ€™Souza Urban John , Choudhury Shimmi Sadia
Published: May 2023

There were 480,000 new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and 100,000 new patients with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) in 2015. Mortality was common in Asia with 250,000 deaths in the same year.1 Treatment was successful in 52% of the MDR/RR-TB patients whereas 17% mortality and 9% treatment failure were reported. Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) have acquired in 9.5% of MDR-TB cases with 117 countries have reported for XDR-TB in the world.1 Treatment success rate was only 26% in XDR-TB cases.1 Drug sensitive strains of TB need treatment duration of 6 months whereas MDR-TB and XDR-TB requires more than 20 months of treatment.2 The burden of MDR-TB is increasing in various regions of the world. In the last 40 years after rifampicin has been started to be used in 1970s, no new anti-tuberculous drug was introduced.2 The research for the development of new anti-tuberculous drugs is expensive and slow because the replication rate of tubercle bacilli takes time and the pharmaceutical manufacturers which are present in well-developed countries without TB burden have no much interest.2

According to the latest report of the United Nations (UN), about 20 million people are facing famine with around 1.4 million children are at a risk of dying. Secretary General Antonio Guterres of the United Nations has made it clear to the world that, parts of Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen and south Sudan are at a higher risk of the famine and a possible catastrophe that may be highly dangerous to the mankind. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, wherein plenty of sugars or glucose in the blood circulation, keep the cells and tissues hungry because it is an insulin related disorder. Similarly, in the modern World of plenty, where a greater number of World populations are filled with enormous wealth and food and amidst this population, a less fortunate population is dying because of hunger! Shortage of food, malnourishment and few people dying on a daily basis are the outcome of the famine. According to the UN, lack of money in the UN treasury, donor countries, conflicts, problems of delivery of relief are few of the concerns which are looming the UN.
Newly-developed De Cordovaâ€™s Formula for Calculation of LDL Cholesterol in Bangladeshi Population
Authors: Nasrin Nadia
Published: May 2023

Raised serum LDL cholesterol is an important modifiable risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. So the management ofÂ dyslipidaemia is mostlyÂ based on the concentration of LDL cholesterol. Friedewaldâ€™s formula is commonly used method to estimate LDL cholesterol in most clinical laboratories. However, this formula cannot reflect the actual figure of LDL cholesterol. In 2013, de Cordova developed a new simple formula to calculate LDL cholesterol without using serum TG which is said to be more accurate than Friedewaldâ€™s formula. The present study was designed to compare the formula-based calculated LDL cholesterol (Friedewaldâ€™s formula and de Cordovaâ€™s formula) with directÂ homogenousÂ estimation. The objective of the present study was to evaluate of applicability of de Cordovaâ€™s formula for calculation of LDL cholesterol. By using non-probability sampling technique, 460 individuals were enrolled in the study who were attending in the one-point collection centre of BSMMU for lipid profile estimation. Subjects were categorized as normolipidaemic individuals and dyslipidaemic patients. Serum TC, TG, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were measured by direct automated method. LDL cholesterol was also calculated by Friedewaldâ€™s formula and de Cordovaâ€™s formula. Results were expressed as mean Â± SD. Comparison was done by Pearsonâ€™s correlation test, agreement was done by BlandAltman agreement test between measured and calculated LDL cholesterol. The mean Â± SD of measured LDL cholesterol was 132.99 Â± 36.65 mg/ dL. LDL cholesterol calculated by Friedewaldâ€™s formula and de Cordovaâ€™s formula were 121.39 mg/dL and 116.81 mg/dL respectively. The limits of agreement between measured LDL cholesterol (direct method) and calculated LDL cholesterol by de Cordovaâ€™s formula were lowest and agreement was better for all dyslipidaemic subjects. de Cordovaâ€™s formula showed better agreement with measured LDL cholesterol (direct method) than Friedewaldâ€™s formula for approximate calculation of LDL cholesterol without using triglycerides.Keywords: LDL cholesterol,Â de Cordovaâ€™sÂ formula, Friedewaldâ€™s formula
