Puppets’ Uprising: Passive-Active Ethics Within the Trap of Play
Authors: Dufourcq Annabelle
Published: May 2024

Annabelle Dufourcq, in her article, “Puppets’ Uprising: Passive Active Ethics Within the Trap of Play,” argues that, given the all-pervading structure of play, it is impossible to break away from play, and yet, trying to put a halt to play is actually key to morals. This is also a major political issue at a time when play has become a patent and constraining social structure: adaptability, malleability, and distance are encouraged in the covertly highly oppressive society of “coolness” (Baudrillard). How can we make room for ethics in the framework of an ontology of play? Dufourcq discusses Sartre’s idea that love for (or resignation to) play is the scantiest and most ineffective response of the oppressed to oppression. In contrast, Merleau-Ponty presents irony, distance, and vulnerability as virtues and, under certain conditions, the only possible source of genuinely effective and meaningful actions.

Evaluating ChatGPT's Ability to Answer Common Patient Questions Regarding Hip Fracture
Authors: Wrenn Sean P. , Mika Aleksander P. , Ponce Robert B. , Mitchell Phillip M.
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION:

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot software programmed for conversational applications using reinforcement learning techniques. With its growing popularity and overall versatility, it is likely that ChatGPT's applications will expand into health care especially because it relates to patients researching their injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate ChatGPT's ability to accurately answer frequently asked questions regarding hip fractures.

Methods:

Eleven frequently asked questions regarding hip fractures were posed to ChatGPT, and the responses were recorded in full. Five of these questions were determined to be high-yield based on the likelihood that a patient would ask the question to a chatbot software. The chatbot's responses were analyzed by five fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeons for their quality and accuracy using an evidence-based approach. The chatbot's answers were rated as “Excellent response requiring no clarification”, “Satisfactory response requiring minimal clarification”, “Satisfactory response requiring moderate clarification”, or “Unsatisfactory response requiring significant clarification.”

Results:

Of the five high-yield questions posed to the chatbot, no question was determined to be unsatisfactory requiring significant clarification by the authors. The remaining responses were either satisfactory requiring minimal clarification (n = 3) or satisfactory requiring moderate clarification (n = 2).

Discussion:

The chatbot was generally found to provide unbiased and evidence-based answers that would be clearly understood by most orthopaedic patients. These findings suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to be an effective patient education tool especially because it continues to grow and improve as a chatbot application.

Level of evidence:

Level IV study.

Published: May 2024

By examining veal carcasses sold in Al Bayda and surrounding areas this study assessed the microbiological status in 2020. Eighty pieces of veal one for each of the shoulder, head, ribs, and thigh regions were randomly selected from several places selling the meat. Locations Aerobic plate count (APC) and enterobateriaceae were measured. In addition to isolating and identifying Salmonella and E. coli bacteria the presence of which indicates contamination they were found in samples taken from meat markets. The results showed the presence of APC in all different cuts of veal samples that were examined and evaluated during the study. We found the highest number of APC in thigh samples (1.3×106) and the lowest number found in rib meat samples (9.5×105). Regarding food poisoning bacteria six (30%) seven (35%) six (30%) and four (20%) of the twenty subjects had positive tests for Salmonella in the shoulder, ribs, and thighs. However, of the veal samples tested 18 (90%) 16 (80%) 15 (75%) and 19 (95%) contained E. coli. The results showed that a wide range of microorganisms from different sources may be present in fresh cuts of veal. This highlights the need to follow strict health precautions when handling cooking and slaughtering animals. It also highlights the need for regulatory authorities to take all necessary measures especially in light of the absence of inspection, sealing and cleanliness procedures for carcasses.

Pregnant women should be considered at risk for developing vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. A wide range of studies have shown that the low level of vitamin D is a common phenomenon during pregnancy. It has been scientifically proven that the deficiency of vitamin D during pregnancy cause the incidence of adverse perinatal, fetal and neonatal outcomes: arterial hypertension, preeclampsia, bacterial vaginosis, gestational diabetes mellitus, miscarriages in the first trimester, fetal growth restriction syndrome, premature birth, low birth weight, disorder embryonic skeletal formation and decreased bone mass. However, today there is no consensus on the effect of vitamin D levels on the nature of pregnancy and the frequency of its complications. There is wide variability in the threshold values used to classify vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, demonstrating the importance of standardizing thresholds. There is no consensus on the optimal level of vitamin D deficiency.
Вальпроат-индуцированная модель расстройств аутистического спектра
Authors: Ферешетян К. C.
Published: May 2024

Autism is аneurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and interaction and by repetitive patterns of behavior. While autism has a strong genetic component, environmental factors including toxins, infection and drugs are known to confer autism susceptibility, likely by inducing epigenetic changes. In particular, exposure to valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy has been demonstrated to increase the risk of autism in children. Prenatal administration of valproic acid has become an accepted animal model of ASD. This model might better represent the many cases of idiopathic autism which are of environmental/epigenetic origins than do transgenic models carrying mutations in single autism-associated genes. The VPA model provides a valuable tool to investigate the neurobiology underlying autistic behavior and to screen for novel therapeutics. Here we review the VPA-induced rodent model of autism, highlighting its importance and reliability as an environmentally induced animal model of autism.

Miliary Tuberculosis Causing Presumed Primary Adrenal Insufficiency and Addisonian Crisis: A Case Report from Rural Kenya
Authors: Onyango Vonwicks Czelstakov , Mutiso Boniface , Mutuma Nicholas Muriithi , Malalu Collins Paul , Auma Nicholas , Fryda MD William C
Published: May 2024

Primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) is characterized by inadequate production of cortisol from the adrenal glands due to diseases of the adrenal gland. Due to the insidious onset and non-specific nature of the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, diagnosis is often delayed until patients present with an adrenal crisis. The three most common causes are autoimmune adrenalitis, infections, e.g., disseminated tuberculosis, HIV, systemic mycoses, and adrenal hemorrhage or infarction. Miliary tuberculosis of the adrenal gland occurs in high-TB burden populations by hematogenous spread of tuberculous bacilli to the gland, causing caseous necrosis, or by extra-adrenal infection and rifampicin-induced adrenal insufficiency. In this study, we report on the case of a middle-aged woman in rural Kenya who initially presented with missed features of adrenal insufficiency and subsequently went into an adrenal (Addisonian) crisis, which was successfully managed with glucocorticoids, fluids, and supportive therapy.
Memory Flags
Authors: Martinez Estrada Judith
Published: May 2024

For close to 30 years, my father worked for the Australian Navy. He was an electrician who installed and repaired the armament, radars and communication systems on battleships and submarines. It was a job he loved and was proud to do, something I as a surly teenager could not quite understand when dragged along to open days at the naval base at Garden Island on Sydney Harbour.
He likes to share many stories about his time at Garden Island and jokes that by the time he retired, even the stones in the landscape knew who he was. One of these stories, a memory I ashamedly force him to recall, took place on the morning of 12 February 2009. I asked my father to tell me as much as he could remember about the event. This was the second time I heard the story from him: The first was the day it happened in 2009, and the second was now, 12 years later.
Toward a Genealogy of Certification
Authors: Hurle Andrew
Published: May 2024

For about 25 years now, I’ve been researching the shape, style and function of graphic signs connected with the production and reproduction of printed money. The research grew out of my visual arts practice and despite being consolidated as a university doctorate, it has mostly been pursued outside or across established academic disciplines, never having found easy accommodation in any one of them. Among other things this has resulted in a hybrid terminology defining its aims and scope. What began as an etymology of monetary signification (an early attempt to tie it to the field of linguistics and semiotics) now seems better expressed as a genealogy of certification, which represents a much broader field of investigation and reduces the risk of it being seen as a strictly numismatic study. The following paper summarises this genealogy and describes how monetary designs are adapted for different purposes and contexts, while showing some examples of their foundation in experimental and creative invention. I should firstly mention that the designs themselves communicate all kinds of meanings beyond the monetary: not just claims of authority and authenticity usually associated with banknotes, but also declarations of contractual certainty, social obligation, affection, prestige, satire, accreditation and so on. Even so, printed money remains at the heart of this research as an exemplary graphic statement articulated from within the nexus of mechanisation, global economics and modernist abstraction.

By exploring the creative process of three exhibitions, including I AM that I AM (2015) at IMPACT 9 in Hangzhou (China), Out of the Matrix 3.0 (2018) at IMPACT 10 in Santander (Spain), and Out of the Matrix 2.0 (2019) at Hong Kong Open Printshop in Hong Kong (SAR, China), this paper uses personal reflections on the relationship between artistic practice, collaboration, and collective creation in cross-cultural print exhibition works. These research projects provide an opportunity to investigate specific elements of print productions from printmaking practice to collaborative curation.
Scraps Of A Dying Chef

‘Where are the cats?’ I asked Montse.
COVID-19 hit Barcelona and closed the city’s borders. I drifted between libraries and a printing press. Early evening, a midwinter fog softened the stone corners. Suspended in silence, and free from the crowds that spilled out of cruise ships and cheap flights into the narrow streets of the Gothic quarters, the city lay waiting. Montse answered, ‘People are a bit squeamish about cats. They feel guilty. Cannot quite look cats in the eyes.’ He added, ‘Cats and dogs got eaten during the Spanish Civil War.’ Even after the Civil War, the threat to pets did not end. Spain starved acutely from 1936 to 1942, and then steadily until 1952. Franco’s officially sanctioned famine, named ‘the hunger years’, ensured that starvation was weaponised to stamp out rebellion and exhaust the population. To lay their hands on any kind of flesh, the starving poor stole dogs and cats. Carmen, a survivor, said, ‘Cats soon disappeared because they tasted like rabbits, and people just ate them. A donkey that belonged to a coal delivery company died, and it was cut up and sold for meat. Dogs were also passed off as lamb’ (Fanjul, 2015). While cats were cooked for dinner, men lay discarded, like drifting scraps of paper on the streets, starved to death.
Staging Material Encounters
Authors: Mann Helen Elizabeth
Published: May 2024

This paper outlines and reflects upon a recent period of practice-based research into the human and more-than-human relationship at this critical time for life on Earth. Drawing on ideas from within the field of human trauma, which describe how remnants of traumatic experiences become trapped within the body as sensations, pain, processes, and cancers, completely cut off from the original experiences that contributed to their formation, the research was centred around the concept of Earth as an expressive archive of valuable information about the way it has been treated and related to. Like Van Der Kolk’s human body (Van Der Kolk, 2015), the Earth in this context “keeps the score”. Notions of extractivism, objectification and othering, along with ideas around ‘separation sickness’, describing the ‘cultural trauma’ of intergenerational disconnection from ourselves and the land (Rust, 2020), form the backdrop to the research.
A variety of starting points fed into the work, impacting upon one another in rich, diverse, and complex ways. Printmaking processes were utilised throughout as both research tools and within more resolved works. The paper is a series of reflections, not necessarily chronological or complete, but rather a snapshot of key ideas, questions, processes, and directions.
Learning to Listen

Sometime in 2017, I moved from Melbourne, Australia to Dublin, Ireland. I’d studied and exhibited art in Australia, and in becoming an immigrant, I risked leaving my life and community behind to start somewhere else as a stranger.
My work in Australia had centred around the connections between science, space and storytelling. It had also been, as all art is, a portrait of myself, albeit a heavily buried and obscured one.
The move disrupted that work, and in my Dublin studio, I began making friends and exploring ways to make art that felt new and relevant. The dislocation that goes hand in hand with moving to the other side of the world crept into my practice. Listening to music felt like a way to time travel. I had an inkling that I wanted to write about music, but I stopped myself because it seemed so far away from the artwork that I’d previously made.
Another reason that I didn’t, though, is purely that it didn’t fit at the time. Now it does, and the idea I had in 2019 is back:

A região Norte do Brasil é um lugar que abriga a maior biodiversidade do planeta. Todavia é sabido da falta de criatividade no desenvolvimento de técnicas para o aproveitamento dessas riquezas naturais, com o intuito de substituir produtos industrializados altamente poluidores e que levam bastante tempo para se decompor, ainda mais quando se descarta de maneira inadequada.  Sendo assim, este trabalho objetiva investigar e analisar o comportamento das propriedades mecânicas de um recurso natural renovável, o pó triturado do fruto do café (Coffea), cujo objetivo é no desenvolvimento de novos artefatos ecológicos resistentes de materiais compósitos de matriz poliéster para ensaios de resistência à tração, conforme a norma ASTM D638, para ser ecologicamente corretos.  Posteriormente aos ensaios de tração, bem como, a região fraturada, os resultados obtidos foram comparados com valores dos outros materiais naturais, como também, o confronto ou equiparação existentes em literaturas, com o propósito de confirmação, de possíveis alternativas de peças e equipamentos de setores da indústria de bens de consumo duráveis. A tensão e a deformação média máxima registrada para compósito foram de 14,36 ± 1,43 MPa e 0,075 ± 0,014 (mm/mm), respectivamente.

El privilegio en juego : clase, raza, género y golf en México
Authors: Cerón-Anaya Hugo
Published: May 2024

¿Por qué el golf es un deporte que se asocia popularmente con la riqueza? ¿Por qué lo practican los sectores ricos de México? ¿Qué lo distingue de otras prácticas deportivas? ¿Siempre se relacionó el golf con las clases altas o es esto una tendencia reciente? La exclusividad atribuida al golf lo convierte en un foro estratégico en el cual se puede analizar la confluencia de intereses de la clase alta, narrativas racializadas y relaciones desiguales de género dentro de múltiples contextos geográficos e históricos. Esta obra busca mostrar la manera en que las estructuras de privilegio se incrustan en prácticas mundanas, ocultando su verdadera esencia detrás de argumentos sobre la inteligencia, la laboriosidad, las buenas decisiones y la disciplina. Este no es un libro sobre golf ni un tratado contra este deporte, sino una exploración crítica de cómo las dinámicas de dominación y subordinación se expresan abiertamente, al mismo tiempo que se ocultan en el contexto de un espacio privilegiado como es el golf, en México. En este libro se utiliza al golf como un estudio de caso desde el cual se examinan las múltiples capas que constituyen el poder y que influyen en la reproducción de las desigualdades sociales.

Radishes are excellent sources of nutrients, such as antioxidants that benefit the immune system, dietary fibers that aid digestion, and vitamins that help control blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Despite this nutritional composition and rapid vegetative cycle, radishes still need to be consumed more and are understudied in Brazil. Another challenge is the limited knowledge about fungi of the Trichoderma spp. genus and their combination with fertilizers. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the growth promotion of Raphanus sativus L. under nitrogen doses combined with applying Trichoderma spp. isolates and their promoting effect on radish development. The experimental design used was a randomized complete block design in a 4 x 5 factorial scheme (isolates and doses), with seven replications, conducted in a greenhouse. The Trichoderma treatments were T1 – control without isolates application, T2 – ESALQ 1306, T3 – IBLF 006 WP, and T4 – URM 5911, and the nitrogen doses were 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 kg ha-1 of urea. The use of Trichoderma spp. demonstrates a positive effect on radish development, offering possibilities for promotion with an emphasis on lower doses of nitrogen. The ESALQ 1306 isolate (T. harzianum), at a dose of approximately 113 kg ha-1 of urea, a promotion was of 11% tuberous root diameter, 6% for the tuber root length, 50% for the leaf dry mass, 35% for the tuberous roots fresh mass, and 63% for the tuberous roots dry mass). The T. harzianum IBLF 006 WP and T. asperellum URM 5911 isolates are not recommended, as they presented an antagonistic effect.

This study aimed to evaluate the growth of Raphanus sativus L. under six phosphorus doses in combination with three strains of Trichoderma spp. The design was a randomized block design with seven replications in a factorial scheme, 4 x 5 (treatments and doses). Treatments related to Trichoderma spp. were T1 – control, without application of T. harzianum strain; T2 – T. harzianum ESALQ 1306, T3 – T. harzianum IBLF 006 WP, and T4 – T. asperellum URM 5911, at doses of 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, and 200 kg ha-1 of P2O5, in a greenhouse. The evaluated characteristics were tuberous root diameter (RDI), tuberous root length (RLE), relative chlorophyll index (RCI), leaf dry mass (LDM), tuberous root fresh mass (FTRM), and tuberous root dry mass (TRDM). It was observed that there was a significant difference for the different sources of variation evaluated, indicating an interaction between the different isolates and doses. It is concluded that the application of Trichoderma harzianum - ESALQ 1306 strain is recommended for radish cultivation, with increases of 13% for tuberous root length, 7% for relative chlorophyll index, 23% for leaf dry mass, 35% for tuberous root fresh mass, and 12% for tuberous root dry mass compared to the control, at a dose of 104 kg ha-1 of P2O5, with the possibility of dose reduction and more sustainable management. Additionally, strains T. harzianum IBLF 006 WP (T3) and T. asperellum URM 5911 (T4) are not recommended for radish cultivation.
