Authors: Wahdan Amr Samir , Moussa Ahmed Abdelhady , Farag Mohamed Abdel Fattah , Alayyaf Hasan Abdullah , Mohamed Mennatallah Magdi
Published: June 2024

Background and Aims:

Providing postoperative pain management in patients who underwent scrotal surgeries is achieved using several methods, one of which is the ultrasound-guided spermatic cord block (US-SCB). To enhance anesthesia quality and extend analgesia postoperatively, several agents have been added in conjunction with local agents. This study targeted assessing the results of combining neostigmine with levobupivacaine in US-SCB for providing perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing testicular sperm extraction (TESE) surgery.

Material and Methods:

This double-blind, randomized controlled study was performed for 112 subjects undergoing TESE operation using general anesthesia. They were randomly and equally divided into two groups. All participants received bilateral US-SCB after induction of general anesthesia by 19 mL of levobupivacaine 0.5% combined with 1 mL of neostigmine 500 μg in (group N) or 1 mL of normal saline in (group C). The first analgesic dose request time and the amount of analgesic consumed in the first 24 h were the main points of comparison in both groups.

Results:

The mean postoperative analgesia duration was noticeably increased in the N group compared to the C group, with a value of 480 ± 41.34 min versus 404 ± 34.14 min, independently (P < 0.001). Moreover, the total amount of postoperative analgesic consumption was remarkably decreased in group N when compared to group C without statistically remarkable divergence concerning complications between both groups.

Conclusion:

Adding neostigmine to a local anesthetic solution in US-SCB proved to detain the first analgesic request postoperatively with reduced perioperative analgesia consumption, without significant side effects.
Insights into pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of near-hanging patients: A narrative review
Authors: Kannamani Balaji , Sahni Neeru , Bandyopadhyay Anjishnujit , Saini Vikas , Yaddanapudi Laxmi Narayana
Published: June 2024

Hanging is suspension of a person by noose or ligature around the neck. Hanging has been used as a judicial execution method since medieval times and is still a common method of suicide in developing countries. The term “near hanging” is used for those who survive long enough to reach the hospital, and these patients still hold mortality as high as 45%. These patients can present with a wide array of complaints involving cardiovascular, neurologic, and pulmonary systems and local injuries to the airway and vascular structures. High serum lactate and cardiac arrest at arrival are some of the prognostic factors which portend a poor prognosis. Early admission and aggressive treatment are essential to provide best neurologic outcome. Due to paucity of definitive guidelines, therapy has to be based on clinical reports and expertise of the treating physician. Hence, near-hanging patients pose a great challenge in primary emergency care and intensive care management. This review aims to outline the pathophysiology, prognostic indicators, and recent evidence in the management of near-hanging patients.
A randomised controlled trial to compare tracheal extubation quality in lateral and supine positions after general anaesthesia in children
Authors: Ganigara Anuradha , Bhavana D. A , Chandrika Y. R , Sharma Trishi
Published: June 2024

Background and Aims:

Tracheal extubation after general anaesthesia in pediatrics is a critical event, with sparse research on positioning of patient during extubation. Clinical data reveal lesser airway obstruction in the lateral position with enhanced airway patency. We studied the effects of supine versus lateral positioning on the quality of tracheal extubation as judged by the modified Minogue cough score in children undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Secondary objectives included frequency of incidences of oxygen desaturation (SPO2 <92%), laryngospasm, bronchospasm, and stridor.

Material and Methods:

In this single-blinded randomised trial, 110 children in the age group of 2–12 years were enrolled to be positioned in either the lateral (group L) or supine (group S) position during extubation at the end of surgery. All patients received a standardised anaesthesia regimen. Chin lift and positive pressure ventilation were instituted if airway patency was noted to be compromised during extubation. Vital parameters, extubation quality, sedation score, incidence of oxygen desaturation, laryngospasm, stridor, and bronchospasm were recorded every 5 minutes till 30 minutes post extubation.

Results:

Children in group S were noted to have a higher cough score at the 15th minute post extubation with a P value of 0.04 compared to children in group L. Children in group L had a 18% incidence of adverse respiratory events compared to 30% in group S with a relative risk of 1.67.

Conclusions:

Positioning children in the lateral position during extubation resulted in improved extubation quality as evidenced by lower cough scores with fewer incidence of complications in comparison to supine position extubation.
A Mobile Lens: Voice-Assisted Smartphone Solutions for the Sightless to Assist Indoor Object Identification
Authors: Saleem Talal , Sivakumar V.
Published: June 2024

Every aspect of life is organized around sight. For visually impaired individuals, accidents often occur while walking due to collisions with people or walls. To navigate and perform daily tasks, visually impaired people typically rely on white cane sticks, assistive trained guide dogs, or volunteer individuals. However, guide dogs are expensive, making them unaffordable for many, especially since 90% of fully blind individuals live in low-income countries. Vision is crucial for participating in school, reading, walking, and working. Without it, people struggle with independent mobility and quality of life. While numerous applications are developed for the general public, there is a significant gap in mobile on-device intelligent assistance for visually challenged people. Our custom mobile deep learning model shows object classification accuracy of 99.63%. This study explores voice-assisted smartphone solutions as a cost-effective and efficient approach to enhance the independent mobility, navigation, and overall quality of life for visually impaired or blind individuals.
ACRCP -Protocol for Delay Tolerant Networks for Effective Green Computing Environment
Authors: Preetha V. , Balasubramanian K.
Published: June 2024

There is no universally accepted definition of a green building. Generally, it refers to an ideal living environment created with respect for ecological principles and environmental considerations, combined with the principle of ecological design. Green buildings not only improve living conditions and energy efficiency but also contribute to urban air quality, enhance landscapes, and positively impact the physiological and psychological well-being of individuals. To achieve the goals of green building, it is imperative to have convenient and accurate selection of plant materials, create a sustainable green system, and establish a comprehensive green building plant resource information system.
 
Over the past few decades, numerous quantitative studies on the ecological functions of green plants have been conducted worldwide. Various test methods have been employed under different green conditions to quantify these functions and obtain numerous quantitative values. Concepts such as green area, green coverage, leaf area index, leaf area, green rate, vertical green coverage area, and overall green quantity have been introduced. Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) engineering faces challenges in ensuring end-to-end availability in cloud computing. Consequently, transporting data over such networks is challenging since most Internet applications rely on persistent end-to-end connections. Since the standardization of the DTN architecture, significant research has been dedicated to developing routing protocols for various mobility scenarios, aiming to improve segment delay, delivery, and data delivery ratios.
What Is Pharmacoepidemiology and How Does It Inform Clinical Care?
Authors: Hillen Jodie
Published: June 2024

Pharmacoepidemiology (PE) is a hybrid of epidemiology and pharmacy that studies the patterns and associated benefits and risks of medicines used in a given population. This discipline evolved from the lack of clinically relevant information derived from small and unrepresentative human samples in clinical trials (usually randomized control trials), meaning that once a medicine reaches the market for use in a more diverse population, little is known about the efficacy and safety in the “real‐world.”

Published: June 2024

Measures for prevention and protection for Internally Displaced People due to climate change in South Asia are not addressed sufficiently by South Asian states. People becoming IDPs due to climate change have been a major issue in South Asia and are increasing; however, there is no law protecting the rights of people internally displaced in South Asia. This article attempts to draw influence and lessons from the Kampala Convention in Africa for the prevention and protection of IDPs and suggests that a similar convention be implemented through the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and the SAARC Summit in South Asia. After considering the position of IDPs due to climate change. existing legal frameworks in South Asian states governing IDPs. the desirability of a convention in South Asia similar to the Kampala Convention and how such a convention might be implemented in South Asia, it is proposed that South Asia establish such a convention through SAARC.

Published: June 2024

Wedding rituals occupy a central position in the culture of the Banggai people, Central Sulawesi. The traditional ceremony is full of elements of oral and written traditions that reflect the outlook on life and local wisdom of the Banggai tribe. This paper aims to interpret and understand the traditional wedding ritual of Banggai in the context of its local culture and language through the application of a hermeneutic approach. The research data was sourced from various transcripts and traditional Banggai documents related to the wedding procession, including pantun, syair, prayer, dance, and other traditional practices. These data are then analyzed in depth to uncover the implied meaning behind traditional symbols and texts by always considering the historical background and oral traditions of the Banggai people so that the resulting interpretation is contextual and proportional. The results showed that the traditional Banggai marriage ritual was full of philosophical content and represented the values and views of life upheld by the community. This ritual also acts as a medium for cultural regeneration and transfer of knowledge passed down between generations. With a comprehensive meaning, this study hopes to enrich readers' insights about the nature and essence of the Banggai wedding tradition.

Genesis of philosophy: discursive practices
Authors: Ковыршина С.В.
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются различные подходы, концепции и позиции, касающиеся вопроса происхождения философии. Автор обращает внимание как на ставшие уже классическими подходы, так и на исследования современных авторов. Многообразие дискурсивных практик позиционирования философии позволяет говорить о моменте зарождения как своеобразном инварианте развития философской мысли. Акцентируется внимание на двух моментах: появлении термина «философия» и собственно возникновении философии как особой об- ласти человеческой жизнедеятельности. Принимая во внимание четыре основополагающие концепции происхождения философии, – мифогенную, гносеогенную, социогенную и софиогенную, появляется возможность обратить внимание на оригинальные позиции относительно времени и места ее появления. Таким образом, проблема генезиса философии – это создание не только множества онтологических моделей, но и трансляция определенных дискурсивных практик, связанных со спецификой мышления и отношением к окружающему миру.

The article analyzes various approaches, concepts and positions concerning the question of the origin of philosophy. The author draws attention both to the approaches that have already become classical and to the research of modern authors. The variety of discursive practices of philosophy positioning allows us to talk about the moment of origin as a kind of invariant for the development of philosophical thought. Attention is focused on two points: emergence of the term “philosophy” and actual emergence of philosophy as a special area of human activity. Taking into account 4 fundamental concepts of the origin of philosophy (mythogenic, epistemological, sociogenic and sophiogenic), it becomes possible to pay attention to original positions regarding the time and place of the appearance of philosophy. Thus, the philosophy genesis problem is not only the creation of a great number of ontological models, but also the translation of certain discursive practices related to the specifics of thinking and attitude to the world around us.
From the place of action to the space of meaning: Ch. Gungaasukh’s work and his role in the development of scenography art in Mongolia in the last third of the 20th century
Authors: Батхулэг Э.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассматривается творческая деятельность выдающегося художника-сценографа, народного художника Ч. Гунгаасуха и анализируется его значительная роль в развитии театрально-декорационной живописи в Монголии XX века. Основу для их искусствоведческого изучения образует обширный изобразительный материал из фондов Театрального музея в Улан-Баторе, до сих еще в полной мере не известный специалистам. Анализ сохранившихся эскизов позволяет сделать вывод о том, что творчество Чойжылжавына Гунгаасуха сыграло определяющую роль в утверждении на монгольской сцене модернистских принципов декорационного решения, основу которых составило совершенно новое понимание задачи организации сценического пространства. Исследование показало, что использованные художественные приемы имели задачей усилить выразительный потенциал сценического оформления, превратив живописно-пластический образ в важнейший содержательный фактор театральной постановки. Кроме того, творчество Ч. Гунгаасуха сыграло ключевую роль в процессе утверждения на монгольской сцене 1970–1980-х годов национальной тематики, тем самым предвосхитив важнейшие тенденции в развитии современного монгольского искусства.

This article examines the creative activity of the outstanding artist and scenographer, People’s Artist Ch. Gungaasukh and analyses his great role in the development of theatrical and decorative art in Mongolia. The basis for this art-historical study is formed by the extensive material of art, which is kept in the Theatre Museum in Ulaanbaatar and is still not fully known to specialists. The throughout analysis of the sketches allows us to conclude that the work by Ch. Gungaasukh played a decisive role in the dissemination of the modernist principles in the sphere of the theatre decorative painting on Mongolian 20th century scene. These principles were based on the completely new understanding of the spatial organization of the scene. Their consideration gives us an opportunity to conclude that the artistic techniques used by Ch. Gungaasukh were intended to enhance the expressive potential of the stage design, turning the pictorial image into the most important meaningful factor of the theatrical performance. In addition, the work by this artist played a crucial role in the process of establishing the national subject matter on Mongolian scene of the 1970s and 1980s, thus anticipating the most important trends in the development of Mongolian modern art.

The Curse of Heredity: Victorian Sympathies Without and Within in Florence Marryat’s The Blood of the Vampire
Authors: Stewart Rachel
Published: June 2024

Many long nineteenth-century thinkers wrote on sympathy and the human condition: Charles Darwin, T.H. Huxley, and Adam Smith, among others. This article examines how Florence Marryat’s The Blood of the Vampire (1897) engages with and explores the limits of those writings in two distinct ways. In the first, Marryat positions Harriet as a spectator whose sympathies, configured as “vampirism,” act as an embodiment of fatal sympathy. Furthermore, Marryat constructs a sympathetic pairing wherein Harriet is the subject whom the reader’s sympathies are directed towards. While other critics have made passing mention of the presence of sympathy within the novel, here sympathy will be the lens through which the novel’s sociohistorical interventions and generic affordances of the Gothic are revealed. This analysis attends to Marryat’s utilisation of the supernatural to create an experiment in sympathy, within the unreal world of the novel and the real world of the Victorian reader.
The Meaning of Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom
Authors: Wisnicki Adrian
Published: June 2024

This article traces the origins and development of the collaborative digital humanities project Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom (UVC). The author, one of the project’s founding developers, begins by considering how his prior research and digital projects, including Livingstone Online and One More Voice, have laid the groundwork for UVC by pushing him to decenter British perspectives in his scholarship, engage with non-European contexts, and develop a multifaceted ethos of care. The opening discussion then sets the stage for a detailed review of the history of UVC. The first phase of the project (2020-21) centered on creating an open-access website that championed anti-racist pedagogy and challenged traditional hierarchies in the field of Victorian Studies by amplifying the voices of underserved scholars. The project’s website began by featuring innovative publications like Zoomcasts and peer-reviewed syllabi. In its second phase (2021-23), UVC expanded its team, broadened its geographical scope, and deepened its commitment to community-building as a form of activist praxis. The author concludes by emphasizing that UVC reimagines Victorian Studies through a pedagogy of radical care, one that creates a supportive space for collaboration among scholars at all stages in their careers and of all backgrounds. The project takes up this work while concurrently seeking to build a field that is more inclusive and equitable.
The right of the child to be heard in the Croatian family law system
Authors: Šimović Ivan
Published: June 2024

Croatian family law system positions children as legal subjects who can actively participate and make autonomous decisions in proceedings in which their rights and interests are decided. This is because children are holders of many substantive rights which are of little or no value if they cannot be realized in practice. Therefore, the Croatian legislator tried to ensure a system of procedural rights of the child authorizing them to protect their rights in all judicial and administrative proceedings either directly or, usually, through a legal representative. Pivotal procedural right of the child recognized by national and international sources of law is the right to be informed and heard in all matters affecting him/her. Hence, adequate understanding and implementation of this procedural right in the Croatian legislative and judicial system is essential. The goal of this article is to present a comprehensive analysis of relevant Croatian legislation, judicial practice, academic literature, and research studies in the context of the realization of the child’s right to be informed and heard, as well as to point out the deficiencies which show that the Croatian family law system is yet to function perfectly in practice.

Published: June 2024

In recent years, significant progress has been made in Hungary in strengthening the right of children to express their views. The study analyzes what amendments have been made in Hungarian civil law and civil procedure law in this field. The study analyzes how to interpret the right of a child who is capable of forming views in the light of the findings of the general comments issued by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. In addition, the article analyzes in detail Article 21 of the Brussels IIb regulation on the expression of the child's views and the related rules for refusal of recognition and refusal of enforcement of decisions in matters of parental responsibility. The study provides a detailed ‘practice guide’ for Hungarian legal practice on how to apply the provisions that entered into force in August 2022 consistently with EU law and international legal interpretations. The article provides answers to the procedural questions that arose after the entry into force of the amendment of Hungarian Civil Code in 2022. The author takes a stand on the question of which stage of the civil procedure and with what content it is worth issuing the notice for the child.

Authors: Igelige G. E.
Published: June 2024

The study examined the effect of climate change on palm oil output in Nigeria from 1965-2015. It focused on the trend of oil palm output during the period, the effects of climatic factors on the output. Secondary data were used for the analyses using tables, graph and time series analyses. The result of the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test showed that all the variables became stationary after the first difference was taken while the Johansen cointegration test indicated the existence of a long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) result indicated that rainfall (t= 3.01), relative humidity (t=2.56), temperature (t=4.50) and solar radiation (t=4.23) were significant at 5% level (p<0.05): were significant climatic factors affecting palm oil output. This validates the alternative hypothesis one (Ha1), that climatic factors have significant effect on palm oil output in Nigeria. The study recommends that concerted effort should be made to reduce the level of solar radiation by mitigation in Nigeria.

This study investigated librarians‟ social media addiction and quality services delivery in university libraries in two states (Bayelsa and Delta States) of South-South, Nigeria. The correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was made up of one hundred and seventy-four (174) librarians in the university libraries in two states of South-South, Nigeria, Nigeria. Due to the small size, manageability, and homogeneity of the population, the study employed a total population sampling approach, wherein the entire population was included for the study. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using the statistical mean, Pearson and regression statistics. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer research questions 1 and 2, using a criterion mean of 2.50; Pearson‟s product moment correlation coefficient (PPMC) was used to answer research questions 3 while simple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Among others, the study found that the librarians who participated study are not addicted to social networking sites and their level of services delivery is high; that there was a significant relationship between social media addiction and quality services delivery among the librarians in university libraries in two states of South-South, Nigeria. This study concludes that librarians in the two states (Bayelsa and Deta States) of South-South, Nigeria are not addicted to social networking sites, although the quality-of-service delivery is high.
