Authors: Kutlusoy Sevgi , Aydın Ahmet , Koca Erdinç
Published: September 2023

Background/Aim: Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are defined as nausea and/or vomiting occurring within the first 24 h after surgery and are often observed in the first 2 h after surgery. Only a few previous studies on the use of low fresh gas flow that reduces inhaler agent consumption in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients at high risk of PONV have been published. Our study aimed to determine the incidence of PONV in the first 30 min and again at 24 h in cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in which we applied low fresh gas flow (1 L/min). In addition, we wanted to predict whether the pre-operative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥2 is a risk factor for PONV in our patients to whom we applied low fresh gas flow.
Methods: For our prospective cohort study, 80 cases between the ages of 18 and 65, had American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of I and II, and who had been scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. The NLR limit (calculated by dividing the neutrophil count obtained from the complete blood count before surgery by the lymphocyte count) calculated in the pre-operative period after a patient’s informed consent was obtained was accepted as 2 [5]. Patients were classified into two groups: (1) NLR-I with NLR <2 and (2) NLR-II with NLR ≥2. Premedication was not used in either group.
Results: A total of 80 patients were included in the study. They were divided into two groups for classification purposes: (1) NLR-I (n=40) and (2) NLR-II (n=40). The characteristics of the patients in both groups, such as gender distribution, ASA scores, smoking status, mean age, and body mass index (BMI) values, were not different. Sevoflurane consumption in the groups was similar (P=0.169). The time required to complete surgery was longer in the NLR-II group (P=0.025). Nausea/vomiting and antiemetic use were similar in the NLR-I and NLR-II groups in which low fresh gas flow was applied in the first 30 min and 24 h (P=0.500). Although nausea/vomiting was more common in the female and non-smoking group in the first 30 min and 24 h, it was not statistically significantly different from males and smoking groups (P=0.325). However, nausea/vomiting was more common and significantly different in the ASA II versus the ASA I group (P=0.046). The time required to complete surgery was longer, and sevoflurane consumption was higher in patients with nausea and vomiting (P=0.001).
Conclusions: Pre-operative NLR as classified by the two groups was not associated with an increase in the risk of PONV in patients to whom we applied low fresh gas flow. A decrease in sevoflurane consumption due to low fresh gas flow may lead to a reduction in the risk of PONV in at-risk patients.

Published: September 2023

Background/Aim: An estimated 300 million individuals worldwide live with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, which indicate liver damage when elevated, are among the crucial laboratory parameters frequently monitored in the follow-up of chronic hepatitis B patients. The primary objectives of antiviral treatment are to reduce liver inflammation and prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma or cirrhosis by inhibiting HBV replication. This study evaluated ALT responses and identified factors influencing patient responses following initiating entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study collected data from treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients with elevated ALT levels who received either ETV (0.5 or 1 mg per day) or TDF (245 mg per day) treatment between 2008 and 2018. Pregnant women and patients under 18 were excluded from the study. Elevated ALT levels were defined as greater than 35 IU/L for men and 25 IU/L for women. All patients underwent examinations for ALT, HBV DNA levels, HBeAg, and antiHBe at baseline and every 3–6 months. ALT levels of the patients were monitored for 60 months, and the presence of fatty liver was also documented.
Results: Our study comprised 192 patients with a mean age of 53.7 (13.42) years. The majority of patients, 130 (67.7%), were male. Of these, 97 (50.5%) started ETV treatment, while 95 (49.5%) began TDF treatment. The median baseline ALT levels of the patients were 68 (44–133.5) IU/L, and the median ALT levels at the 60th month were 24 (18–32) IU/L. The median initial HBV DNA level was 114,282 (267.5–5,029,875) IU/mL, and the median HBV DNA levels from the 6th month onwards were 0 (0–0). ALT normalization was observed in 44.8% of men and 28.1% of women at 3 months, which was statistically significant (P=0.034). Normalization rates by gender remained consistent in all other months. No significant differences were noted in this regard. ALT normalization rates were 58.5% at the 6th month and 74.7% at the 24th month in the ETV group, significantly higher than in the TDF group (P=0.01, P=0.02, respectively). In patients with fatty liver, ALT normalization rates were significantly lower at 6, 12, 24, and 48 months than those without fatty liver (P=0.01, P=0.01, P=0.009, P=0.002, respectively).
Conclusion: Although ALT responses to ETV treatment were more pronounced in specific months, both drugs demonstrated overall efficacy. ALT levels in patients with fatty liver remained elevated despite antiviral treatment. Therefore, patients with chronic hepatitis B and fatty liver may require additional support beyond antiviral therapy, including metabolic, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations.
METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF STUDYING THE WORLDVIEW OF YOUTH IN A DIGITAL TRANSITIVE SOCIETY

Published: September 2023

In modern psychology, the study of the socialization of young people is of particular relevance in connection with changing living conditions: the transitivity of society; increased social mobility and sociocultural dynamics in general; expansion into everyday life of digital reality. In psychological studies of the transformations of today’s world, it makes sense to use the terms “image of the world” and “world picture” to focus on various sociocultural aspects of the reality under study. The complexity and diversity of youth worldviews in modern conditions are emphasized, which results in the need to differentiate the cultural and psychological aspects of the development of youth communities within society. The author considers interrelation between the formation of the image of the world and the formation of subjectivity; study of individual differences in the construction and transformation of the picture of the world; dynamics of the world picture in a transitive and digital society. The phenomenon of the digital self and the growing environmental concern of young people in connection with the characteristics of modern times are discussed. Among the methodological issues of studying the image of the world of young people in a digital transitive society, it is necessary to highlight a number of aspects: 1) changing the perspective of psychological research – the movement from a closed psychological laboratory to an open everyday world; 2) switching optics – from the normativity of a stable picture of the world to the normalization of the constancy of changes; 3) rethinking the “image of the world” construct in a transitive society – from focusing on the phenomena of perception and social representations to studying the diversity of worldviews and lifestyles; 4) for the integration of thematic (task-oriented) studies of psychology and social sciences – reliance on a transdisciplinary approach; 5) the invention of relevant constructs and concepts in order to systematize a new phenomenology that characterizes the changed state of modern times and the interaction of young people with the digital environment

The authors analyze the role of the personality orientation. The article highlights an issue of forming the orientation of the schoolchildren personality orientation to the choice of teaching professions. Professional orientation has a certain impact on resolving the contradictions between social requirements and individual needs and serves as a driving force for the development of the creative activity of educational subjects. According to A. Rostunov, professional orientation is based on a wide range of needs, interests, ideals, motives and attitudes of a person. It characterizes the unity of interests and personality traits in the system of professional self-determination, which is the most important in adolescence. The article highlights an issue of the orientation as a component for creation in the transformative activity of students of psychological faculties and practical psychologists in the development of the orientation of their personality, self-development, self-improvement and self-realization of potential opportunities by means of innovative teaching methods and educational technologies. It also presents the specific innovative teaching methods, educational technologies that contribute to developing the personality orientation of future psychologists, their self-development, self-improvement and self-realization of potential opportunities. Particular importance is attached to what the scientist-psychologist, doctor in Psychology professor Rostunov left in his legacy in terms of the research, methods and innovative methods in shaping the personality orientation.

The article presents a study of the image of the world of a person in a situation of experiencing the loss of a loved one, which was attended by 133 people aged 18 to 59 years who faced the death of a loved one from 3 days to 23 years ago. To study the perceptual layer of the image of the world, a modified version of the Ch. Osgood semantic differential was used for the semantic layer – the test of existential motivations by A. Langle, for the nuclear layer – the technology “Meaning in life depth” by P. Ebersol. To study life changes (semantic and nuclear layer of the image of the world) – a questionnaire of post-traumatic growth of R. Tadeschi and L. Calhoun. Statistical processing included frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, content analysis, one-factor analysis of variance. Results. The experience of loss affects all three levels of the image of the world: 1) people who have experienced the loss of a loved one more often describe the world as heavy, large, active, chaotic, rough, complex, tense, tough, expensive, fast, open; at the same time, the object of loss affects the ideas about the world; 2) the reason for the loss is reflected in the characteristics of the “fundamental value”: those who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to suicide feel less connected with other people and the possibility of contact with them, compared with those who have lost a loved one for other reasons; 3) most respondents are characterized by a loss of the meaning of life or a belief in its absence; while some find the meaning of life in interpersonal relationships, getting pleasure and personal growth.

Authors: Chen Julie Yun , Lam Tai Pong , Hung Ivan Fan Ngai , Chan Albert Chi Yan , Chin Weng-Yee , See Christopher , Tsang Joyce Pui Yan
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Medical students have long provided informal, structured academic support for their peers in parallel with the institution’s formal curriculum, demonstrating a high degree of motivation and engagement for peer teaching. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to examine the perspectives of participants in a pilot peer teaching programme on the effectiveness and feasibility of adapting existing student-initiated peer bedside teaching into formal bedside teaching.
Methods: Study participants were senior medical students who were already providing self-initiated peer-led bedside clinical teaching, clinicians who co-taught bedside clinical skills teaching sessions with the peer teachers and junior students allocated to the bedside teaching sessions led by peer teachers. Qualitative data were gathered via evaluation form, peer teacher and clinician interviews, as well as the observational field notes made by the research assistant who attended the teaching sessions as an independent observer. Additionally, a single Likert-scale question on the evaluation form was used to rate teaching effectiveness.
Results: All three peer teachers, three clinicians and 12 students completed the interviews and/or questionnaires. The main themes identified were teaching effectiveness, teaching competency and feasibility. Teaching effectiveness related to the creation of a positive learning environment and a tailored approach. Teaching competency reflected confidence or doubts about peer-teaching, and feasibility subthemes comprised barriers and facilitators.
Conclusion: Students perceived peer teaching effectiveness to be comparable to clinicians’ teaching. Clinical peer teaching in the formal curriculum may be most feasible in a hybrid curriculum that includes both peer teaching and clinician-led teaching with structured training and coordinated timetabling.

PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT OF PIGMENT PRINTED POLYESTER FABRIC USING PLASMA TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Goyal Pratima , Dias Tania
Published: September 2023

Today, the customer is the king of the market and polyester fabric is in high demand as it is more economical and has many good properties when compared with other textile material. Polyester is claiming more than 75percent of the estimated 60 million metric tons of fibres consumed in man-made textiles in the apparel industry over natural fibres. Naseerali (2013) In this study the researcher has made an attempt to improve the absorbency of polyester fabric as well as to reduce its static charge. Air plasma technology was used to treat the surface of 100% polyester fabric at different time durations of 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes. The control and the surface modified fabrics were then printed with water- based pigments which are eco-friendly and without water based pigments which are commercially used. As most of the pigment printed samples get peeled off so it was plasma treated and then printed to evaluate the durability of the pigment prints. The UPF (ultra-violet protection factor) value of all the control and the modified sample were then evaluated to determine the ultraviolet radiation blockage or transmittance by fabrics intended to be used for UV protection. It was further found that better UPF value of the modified non water- based pigment at 90 minutes when compared to water based pigment samples and untreated samples. The fastness properties like rub and color fastness were observed with standard methods. In the rub fastness tests it was observed that the plasma treated with water based pigments for 30 minutes gave better dry rub fastness and it concludes that plasma treatment more than 30 minutes is not required because it gives a better results at 30 minutes. In the color fastness properties the water- based and non-water based pigment printing gave a better result at all-time durations than the control sample, so in concern of energy usage, treatment can be given for less time duration to have better quality products.

Indian classical music is one of the most accomplished ancient art forms of the world. This music tradition represents music of different genres which has been merged with ritualistic, folk, and cultural expression of the landmass. The history of Indian music can be broadly divided into three major periods as- Ancient, Medieval and Modern. Indian music has a highly coloured and fascinating history of the legends and traditions to be found in the ancient texts, conserved, and passed down through the continuing cycles of ages, and the ravages of time. Indian music had stably stood as an original and ancient along its norms, and systems that had been handed through generations from ancient period and Medieval period passing on the Modern period with all the musical texts- oral and written scriptures ceremonies and performances in the present forms and features abounding in historical perspectives. The communication of different musical styles endemic and multicultural has resulted in the two broad tradition of Indian classical music i.e., North Indian classical music (Hindustani music) and South Indian classical music (Carnatic music) which has evolved into two distinct forms. Even though there are differences in the forms and styles of these two music systems, the basic elements of swara, raga and tala are the foundation of both the system. Raga works to elaborate and explore the melodic and emotional prospects of various sets of notes merge with tala. Tala measures the time cycle of the creative framework of raga for rhythmic improvisation using time. It attains its full form with the contribution of great scholars, musician and composers who mainly emphasized on the modern theory of music standardization of musical material techniques of Raga developments, principles of the music system which attempts to form a new era in Hindustani music.

The interconnection between fiscal policy and foreign direct investment with R&D: Insights from East Asian countries
Authors: Dirir Sadik Aden
Published: September 2023

As a technological powerhouse, Asia should not be overlooked. The region has been responsible for 87% of patent filings, 43% of startup investment, 51% of expenditures on research and development, and 52% of the global growth in tech company revenues during the past ten years. Within this framework, the current paper investigates the impact of fiscal policy and FDI on research and development in East Asian countries during the last 20 years. It further analyses the direction and shocks of these impacts. The methodological framework included theories of public policy and R&D management, the concept of absorptive capacity, etc. The database includes fiscal policy, FDI, domestic credit, and R&D data for 2000–2020. As a result, the paper adopted Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Granger causality tests to capture the short-run and long-run dynamic relationship among the variables. Next, we utilized Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) models to capture the cointegration between fiscal policy, FDI, domestic credit, and R&D. In light of this, the research revealed that the region’s fiscal policy and FDI outflows had a negative impact on the spending on R&D. Conversely, the results showed that FDI inflows and domestic loans provided to the private sector had a large favourable influence on research and development. It is also crucial to emphasize that the ARDL model produced results that were equivalent to the FMOLS and DOLS. Lastly, the Granger causality demonstrated a one-way causal relationship between fiscal policy and research and development. The study will help policymakers on how to promote R&D and enhance a country’s competitiveness in the global economy by paying enough attention to their fiscal policy. It will also assist policymakers to develop strategies to attract FDI that can benefit their R&D sector.

Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on all spheres of the economy. One of the numerous consequences for the health system, in particular, was the disruption of flexible working and the need for its fundamental transformation. The article is intended to analyse and assess the relationships between flexible work perception (FWP), job satisfaction (JS), work-family balance (WFB) and task performance (TP) and examine this relational network cumulatively from the perspective of healthcare workers. The methodological framework of the research includes social exchange theory and the concept of human resources management. The study involved 353 staff members working for one of private medical clinics in the city of Gaziantep, Turkey. The research methods applied are purposeful sampling and online survey. Smart PLS3 statistical program was used to estimate the structural equation model by partial least squares method. The study showed that despite the mobilization of additional resources, TP of healthcare workers during the pandemic significantly decreased. We proved that FWP had a positive effect on task performance. At the same time, lack of flexible working negatively influenced job satisfaction and work-family balance of the employees. We found that poor WFB resulted in a decrease in the respondents’ JS and TP. Among the avenues for further research are using the data retrieved from public medical institutions and conducting the investigation in different cities and with varying working conditions.
Psychographic consumer segmentation in the commercial real estate market: Methodological and practical aspects
Authors: Nazarkina Valeriya A.
Published: September 2023

The commercial real estate market offers two facets: on the one hand, consumers face difficulties in making investment decisions, and on the other, developers are driven by the need to create investment products. The article presents a psychographic consumer segmentation methodology and tests it in conditions of the commercial real estate market. The theoretical framework of the study is classical marketing theory. The Enneagram method is applied to reveal consumers’ subconscious motives behind their behavioural characteristics and investment decision-making, in particular. Additionally, the LOV method is used to clarify investors’ values and motives. The empirical evidence of the research is the survey data from 10 experts in the field of marketing for construction obtained using the Delphi method and Thomas Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process, as well as data from 53 actual and potential investors in commercial real estate. The author’s own consumer segmentation method is proposed, which is designed according to the specificities of the commercial real estate market. As part of the methodology testing, we have identified the types of investors and formulated a marketing programme for one of the priority types that provides for increasing the loyalty to, and recognition of, the organization among investors. The in-depth study of consumers’ personality types and values has substantially contributed to the development of an investment product and its successful promotion among potential investors.
Three absolute barriers of digital technologies implementation in medicine.

Published: September 2023

Technologies that are used in medicine cannot be applied in practice in isolation from the basic issues that underlie the health system. In this article the author describes three basic, fundamental barriers to the development of digital technologies in medicine and their implementation in clinical practice: 1. Financial barrier. 2. Personnel barrier. 3. Lack of absolute knowledge in medicine. According to the author, these barriers are basic because they cannot be overcome at the present stage without general development of society. Digital technologies require funding - this must be accepted and considered when implementing them. If technologies require financing, then their introduction into a healthcare system, where there is no excess of financing, can lead to DT competition with other technologies and healthcare items of expenditure. Regarding the personnel barrier, it is worth highlighting two important components: the need to increase the number of specialists and the need to have specialists with a certain set of knowledge and competencies. This paper analyzes several ways of solving this barrier, such as using artificial intelligence, a personal medical assistant. Significant financial costs, the need to exclude subjective assessment, complex principles for obtaining evidence-based knowledge, the variety of subject areas studied in medicine make it difficult to quickly obtain reliable information about human health. This is the third of the limiting barriers to the introduction of digital technologies in medicine. For a wider introduction of digital technologies in medicine, the efforts of scientists, developers, healthcare organizers, and decision makers should be directed to overcome these barriers.

Adapuntekhnik pengumpulan data secara purposive sampling berupa  angket, wawancara, dan dokumentasi perencanaan pembelajaran. Adapun subjek penelitian adalah empat guru Sekolah Dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selama ini guru belum mempertimbangkan dan memuat aspek NOS dalam menyusun rencana pembelajaran. Walaupun guru mengungkapkan kadang-kadang mempertimbangkan dan memuat aspek NOS dalam perencanaan pembelajaran. Kontradiksi tersebut disebabkan karena persepsi guru kurang tepat tentang konsep NOS. Sebagian besar guru belum mengenal konsep NOS dan sebagian lainnya guru memahami NOS hanya sebatas tentang kegiatan percobaan atau pengamatan. Oleh sebab itu, pentingnya memuat aspek NOS secara eksplisit dalam merancang perencaan pembelajaran.

Análisis del apoyo social percibido en pacientes renales del Instituto de Previsión Social
Authors: Lara Núñez Antonio S.
Published: September 2023

Los pacientes con insuficiencia renal y sometidos a tratamiento de diálisis están expuestos a niveles de estrés muy elevados, lo que ocasiona la ruptura de los lazos que los unen a su entorno social, es por eso que el objetivo general de la investigación es determinar el grado de apoyo social, percibido por los pacientes con Insuficiencia Renal Crónica Terminal dializados en el Servicio de Nefrología del Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social, dializados durante los meses de junio y julio de 2009.La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa de corte exploratorio. Los datos fueron obtenidos a través de entrevistas a los pacientes. El tipo de muestreo utilizado fue el no probabilístico, por conveniencia.Para la selección de la muestra, se tuvo en cuenta la participación voluntaria, previo consentimiento informado, tiempo mínimo de seis meses en diálisis y fueron excluidos por incapacidad de responder las preguntas, por edad avanzada, el estado de salud delicada del paciente, secuelas de la enfermedad, deterioro cognitivo y expresa negativa de participar.Entre los resultados del estudio se pueden citar los siguientes: El nivel de percepción de apoyo social de los pacientes hemodializados en el Servicio de Nefrología del IPS es bajo y está basado en el apoyo que proveen los familiares en su mayoría. Es evidente la importancia de la familia, como factor de adaptación del paciente renal, a la enfermedad y a la hemodiálisis, además del deterioro de las redes sociales de los pacientes, por lo que es recomendable la adopción de un enfoque comunitario y multidisciplinario en el abordaje psicológico del paciente renal.

The effect of pelleting fodder on voluntary feed intake and digestibility in sheep was tested with sorghum straw and cowpea haulm in two forms (chopped and granulated). Twenty-four (24) sheep, of 18 to 24 months old, Djallonké breed were divided into 4 groups of 6 sheep following a random complete block device with four (04) treatments as follows: R1= 50% chopped sorghum straw + 50% chopped cowpea haulms, R2 = Granulated feed 1 (50% sorghum straw + 50% cowpea haulms), R3 = 50% chopped sorghum straw + 50% maize bran and R4 = Granulated feed 2 (50% chopped sorghum straw + 50% maize bran). Six (6) sheep per group underwent the intake trial, then consecutively five (5) sheep per group were retained and housed in digestibility cages for the digestibility test. The voluntary intake of dry matter varied from 417.5 g/d for ration 3 to 600.5 g/d for ration 2. In terms of nutrient intake, ration 1 (75. 26g) records the highest intake of crude protein, followed by ration 2 (70.15g). There is no difference in voluntary intake within rations with forage chopped (R1 and R3) and pellet rations (R2 and R4). The digestibilities of DM and OM are lower with R2, followed by R4; on the other hand, R1 and R3 showed the best levels of digestibility. The crude protein digestibility value is higher for R1 than for the others. The grounding and pelleting of forage did not improve the intake and digestibility of the rations. Additional studies are needed, especially on the size of ground feed, in order to better elucidate the nutritional value of pelleted fodder.
Practice and awareness about unused and expired drug disposal among village people and city people in Bangladesh

Medical waste is dangerous and infectious. Prior to final disposal, it needs special handling because it poses substantial risks to the environment. The issue is getting worse as there are more hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic labs rising up all throughout Bangladesh. The majority of individuals do not know how to properly dispose of their unused or expired medications. The purpose of this study was to determine how well-informed city dwellers and villagers in various regions of Bangladesh were regarding the practices for discarding unused and expired medications. This study used a structured questionnaire and face-to-face interviews to conduct a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A total of 200 true questionnaires with a 100% response rate were returned. The all respondents (200) fell into one of two categories: city dwellers or villagers (n = 100; 50%). More than half of city dwellers and villagers expressed a nearly same attitude towards storing medications at home. Analgesics and gastrointestinal agents were the two classes of leftover medications that were most frequently used. Alarmingly, 94 (47%) of the respondents said they typically dumped their unused medications in the dustbin. However, roughly 45% of respondents felt that it is crucial for chemists to provide patients with advice on how to properly dispose of their medications. There are gaps in routine drug disposal procedures, necessitating the development of pharmaceutical waste management systems that are both affordable and supported by government regulatory agencies and public awareness campaigns. Patients should receive training from healthcare professionals and neighbourhood chemists on proper medication disposal procedures.
A comparative study on physical and mechanical properties of 100% cotton denim and blended cotton denim after industrial washing

Published: September 2023

This research work was conducted to examine the effects of two types of washing procedures e.g., stone enzyme wash, and bleach wash on the physical and mechanical properties of 95% cotton (CTN), 5% recycled CTN denim, and blended CTN denim containing 80% cotton, 18% polyester, 2% spandex. Two fabrics were dyed with medium brand shade indigo dyes. The fabric weight, EPI and PPI, tear strength, breaking strength, color fastness to accelerated laundering, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, and color fastness to crocking were carried out to key changes of physical and mechanical properties in two fabrics. This study has demonstrated the changes in two fabrics before washing (A) and after washing (B) accordingly. In the case of color fastness results ratings were similar in both fabrics. In contrast, the color fastness to crocking or rubbing showed different results. This research was carried out to investigate the parameter variations and choose which fabric exhibits the best or not.
Sarjakuvan metafiktiivisyys 1920- ja 1930-lukujen Suomessa – tapaus Junnu
Authors: Romu Leena
Published: September 2023

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla julkaistua suomalaista Junnu-sarjakuvaa metafiktion näkökulmasta. Historialliseen poetiikkaan perustuvan analyysin avulla esitetään, että metafiktio toimi sarjakuvan keinona sitouttaa lukija osaksi julkaisualustan eli Suomen Kuvalehden tavoittelemaa lukijaperhettä. Junnun metafiktiossa korostui käsikirjoittaja Veli Giovannin ja sarjakuvan lukijoiden välinen vuorovaikutus, jossa lukijat pääsivät osalliseksi todellisuuden ja fiktion välistä rajaa hämärtävää metafiktiivistä leikkiä. Artikkelissa hyödynnetään sarjakuvatutkija Roy T. Cookin kehittämää metasarjakuvien typologiaa ja retorisen kertomusteorian ajatuksia kertomuksen kommunikaatiosta ja tulkinnasta. Keskeisiä metafiktion keinoja Junnussa ovat sarjakuvahahmon tietoisuus itsestään sarjakuvahahmona, tekijöiden kuvaaminen sarjakuvahahmoina, sarjakuvan formaalien elementtien manipulaatio ja Cookin malliin kuulumaton lukijan roolin korostaminen. Erään aikansa suosituimman ja kulttuurisesti merkittävän sarjakuvan analyysin avulla artikkeli osoittaa, kuinka sarjakuvan ilmaisu- ja kerrontakeinot – sekä niihin liittyvät ilmiöt, kuten metafiktio – ovat sidoksissa historiallisiin ja kulttuurisiin konteksteihin.
