Introduction: Oligohydramnios is a pregnancy disorder characterized by a shortage of amniotic fluid volume. It is a rather common obstetric complication that has severe effects on the health of both the mother and the fetus. Early identification is essential for prompt diagnosis and therapy because the clinical appearance of oligohydramnios can vary greatly. This study aimed to investigate the various modes of presentation of oligohydramnios in patients admitted to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out on the admitted patients at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from February to July 2008 (6 months). A total of fifty women (N=50) having Oligohydramnios in pregnancy were included in the study. Completed data forms were reviewed, edited, and processed for computer data entry. The data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 25.0.The ethical clearance of this study was obtained from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 25.8 years and two-fifths of the mothers (20, 40.0%) belonged to 21-25 years old. Twenty-three mothers (23, 46.0%) were nulliparous. Of fifty mothers (N=50), eighteen (18, 36.0%) had borderline oligohydramnios and thirty-two (32, 64.0%) had severe oligohydramnios. Normal CTG tracing was found in eighteen patients (18, 36.0%) and abnormal CTG was found in thirty-two patients (32, 64%) (p < 0.01) which was statistically significant. Among the alive babies after initial resuscitation, twenty-three babies (23, 50.0%) were required to get admitted. Twelve admitted babies (12,52.2%) stayed in the neonatal ward for <7 days and among them one baby (1,8.3%) died, nine babies (9,39.1%) were treated for 7—21 days, among them two babies (2,22.2%) could not survive and two babies were treated for more than 21 days but could not survive. Conclusion: According to the findings, severe oligohydramnios was linked to a higher risk of cesarean delivery, higher APGAR ratings, and probable issues that would necessitate neonatal admission and care.

The tourism industry is considered as the only effective strategy to enhance the level of economic activity in the general population. However, it cannot be denied that compared to other market sectors, this sector has stronger potential. The objective of this research is to examine the impact of investment, wages, and tourist visits on employment within the Indonesian recreation industry. This study utilizes a quantitative panel data approach for the years 2007-2021. The panel data, which employs a quantitative approach, is referred to as pooling. The current research employs regression analysis using multiple lines to determine the effects of investment, minimum wages, and tourist visits on the workforce in the tourism sector in Indonesia from 2007 to 2021. The data used in this study consists of panel data collected between 2007 and 2021, employing non-participant observation techniques for statistical database purposes. The research findings indicate that the F-test results for investment, minimum wages, and tourist visits do not significantly influence the employment practices within the tourism sector. The coefficient of determination is less than 0.570 or 57%, indicating that 57% of the variation can be explained by factors not included in the model. On the other hand, based on the investment test results and the number of new members, the situation in the Indonesian tourism sector has not improved. Conversely, there is evidence that the implementation of the workforce in the Indonesian public sector has progressed.
A visual dialogue between lived and perceived experiences of Deafness: addressing power imbalances in therapy with vulnerable populations
Authors: Ross Lauren
Published: July 2023

Abstract

How does a hearing therapist avoid relying on stereotypes in an overarching characterisation of the Deaf experience to engage in meaningful and useful therapy for Deaf people, who are not only vulnerable as a result of hearing loss, but by the dire socio-economic circumstances in South Africa? Adopting a mentalising stance, this arts-based research interrogates how I, a researcher-clinician, perceive potential Deaf clients, how these clients believe that I see them, how that belief affects their self-perception and how this ultimately can affect their behaviour, thoughts, and emotions. To achieve this, I am taking on the role of a participant observer, engaging in artmaking processes and discussions alongside three participants and asking of myself, what I am asking of the participants. A person-centred approach is fitting in this regard as it implies that clients can direct and inform their own therapy and healing. The exploration of our experiences throughout this study exists through dialogue and relationship; therefore, the therapeutic relationship is investigated through the lens of attachment theory. The findings are three-fold: firstly, that a dialogical approach in artmaking expedites the revelation of uncomfortable biases and prejudices within the group and provides a safe and meaningful space in which to explore these; secondly, that artwork effectively underpins and reinforces communication and connection between hearing and Deaf people; lastly, that both art therapy and mentalising are visual, intrapersonal and interpersonal by nature – and therefore meaningful approaches to working in the Deaf community.
“It has to be held”: Exploring the social unconscious among art therapy students in a South African context through social dreaming
Authors: Alexander Leigh-anne
Published: July 2023

The content of this article explores a social dreaming matrix (SDM) and art-making workshop among art therapy trainees in South Africa. This article is a preliminary investigation into the social unconscious of art therapy trainees, as art therapy practitioners and allied practitioners, who need to promote thinking that derives from an intersectional framework, as practising from this framework may help practitioners to be empathetic, culturally attuned, and culturally sensitive within a multicultural context. In this article, I argue that analytic group-based practices or interventions, such as an SDM, are a worthwhile method of getting to know and actively engage in the critical discourse around the lived experiences of students, practitioners, and citizens of South Africa. It may also prove a worthwhile directive for clients wishing to explore their social unconscious. This study considers knowledge and issues surrounding the complexities, contradictions, and discomfort of the lived experiences of future art therapists in South Africa. This exploratory approach aims to facilitate new insights into art therapy trainees’ social unconscious related to their identities as art therapy trainees and future practising art therapists. The central conclusion of the findings reveals that art therapy trainees’ social unconscious comprises five elements:  power, privilege, identity, alienation, and violence related to their roles as art therapists. Moreover, the SDM and art-making offer a tool to empower the pedagogical process for art therapy trainees.
NFT for Eternity
Authors: Jabotinsky Hadar , Lavi Michal
Published: July 2023

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique tokens stored on a digital ledger – the blockchain. They are meant to represent unique, non-interchangeable digital assets, as there is only one token with that exact data. Moreover, the information attached to the token cannot be altered as on a regular database. While copies of these digital items are available to all, NFTs are tracked on blockchains to provide the owner with proof of ownership. This possibility of buying and owning digital assets can be attractive to many individuals.

NFTs are presently at the stage of early adoption and their uses are expanding. In the future, they could become a fundamental and integral component of tomorrow’s web. NFTs bear the potential to become the engine of speech: as tokenized expressions cannot be altered or deleted, they enable complete freedom of expression, which is not subject to censorship. However, tokenized speech can also bear significant costs and risks, which can threaten individual dignity and the public interest. Anyone can tokenize a defamatory tweet, a shaming tweet, or a tweet that includes personal identifying information and these tokenized expressions can never be deleted or removed from the blockchain, risking permanent damage to the reputations of those involved. Even worse, anyone can tokenize extremist political views, such as alt-right incitement, which could ultimately result in violence against minorities, and infringe on the public interest.

To date, literature has focused on harmful speech that appears on dominant digital platforms, but has yet to explore and address the benefits, challenges and risks of tokenized speech. Such speech cannot be deleted from the web in the same way traditional internet intermediaries currently remove content. Thus, the potential influence of NFTs on freedom of expression remains unclear. This Article strives to fill the gap and contribute to literature in several ways. It introduces the idea of owning digital assets by using NFT technology, surveys the main uses of tokenizing digital assets and the benefits of such practices. It aims to raise awareness of the potential of tokenized speech to circumvent censorship and to act as the engine of freedom of expression. Yet it also addresses the challenges and risks posed by tokenized speech. Finally, it proposes various solutions and remedies for the abuse of NFT technology, which may have the potential to perpetuate harmful speech. As we are well aware of the challenges inherent in our proposals for mitigation, this Article also addresses First Amendment objections to the proposed solution.
