Statues and the Emergence of Dalit Visual Field in Southern Kerala
Authors: R Rajeev
Published: July 2024

Kerala has over 32,000 colonies, of which 8,000 are Dalit colonies, known for their marginalisation and harsh living conditions. Every other elected government in Kerala supports the caste colonies, a physical manifestation of the institutionalised caste system that continues to marginalise communities under the guise of progress. Post-colonial Dalit politics in Kerala evokes memories of these communities, with images of historical heroes emerging with unequal significance. Concrete statues, often depicting historical icons and leaders, pay homage to prominent figures like Ayyankali, who championed the cause of Dalit rights. These statues serve as reminders of their contributions to the ongoing discourse against discrimination, acting as catalysts for community empowerment and the nurturing of a strong Dalit identity. The aim of this paper is to examine how concrete statues started to emerge as a new trend of Dalit assertion in these colonies as well as in the post-colonial visual field in Kerala. It also inquires how, by becoming the focal points for community gatherings, celebrations, and discussions on social issues, the statues inspired pride, unity, and collective action within the Dalit community.
Survival of the Fittest: A Review on Charles Dickens’ ‘Oliver Twist’
Authors: Reddy PR Chandra Reddy
Published: July 2024

The story of Oliver Twist follows Oliver from his birth in a workhouse in England, uncovering the contemporary systems that lead him to Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Maylie at last. It takes a sharp turn taking Oliver back to Mr. Brownlow as an adopted son. Dickens gives the boy a full circle of reason from the birth of uncertainty to life of certainty by making good win over evil, of course with the sacrifice of Nancy. With the characters like Charley Bates, Jack Dawkins, Fagin, Bill Sikes, Old Sally, Nancy, Mr. Brownlow, Mrs. Bedwin, Mrs. Maylie and many, the author reveals the systems and influences that lead them to make certain decisions that have altered Oliver’s life. When Oliver's mother dies after giving him birth, she disappears unidentified. Considering her death without a marriage ring on her finger, she is assumed to be unmarried and thus considered dishonored. As a baby boy, Oliver is seen as unworthy and is kept oppressed by the systems in place of helping him. As a child, Oliver Twist is accommodated in a children orphanage. The wording like, ‘less-than, inhuman, subhuman,’ alone reveals the way orphaned children are treated. Once he is old enough to work, at only nine years old, he is sent to a workhouse. These workhouses are meant to help the poor, but through Oliver's experiences, the readers can understand that they use the poor as bonded labour while greedily using and abusing them. Although Nancy is at first guilty in the crimes against Oliver, it is revealed that she has suffered in similar ways. She attempts to help Oliver and this sends Bill Sikes into an uncontrollable rage. Her murder reveals Bill's cruelty and draws sympathy for Nancy. Unlike her friends, Nancy tries to turn her life around, acting in kindness to save the boy. Although Oliver suffered throughout the book, his desire for to be good leads him to salvation with the honorable Mr. Brownlow. The unrestrained cruelty and corruption of Bill Sikes and Fagin led to their deaths. The author has martyred Nancy but punishes the characters that choose to continue to practice crime and violence. At the end, the good characters enjoy and the bad characters suffer.

Published: August 2024

The history of the drama industry traces back to rich literature, notably beginning in 1964 when PTV emerged as the pioneering channel for broadcasts and transmissions. A recent study delved into the influence of Pakistani dramas on the mental health, psychological well-being and QOL(quality of life) in female university students. Using a cross-sectional research design with quantitative methods, the study recruited a sample of 300 participants through a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by the application of a self-developed demographic sheet and standardized scales: the Young Mental Health Scale, Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Jhon Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis, revealing a significantly positive correlation (r = .354, p < .000) among the studied variables. In conclusion, the study explored how Pakistani dramas impact mental health, well-being, and quality of life. Educators and mental health professionals can use these findings to better support students in managing developmental challenges and promoting overall well-being. Recommendations include integrating media literacy education into university curricula to empower students to critically engage with media content. Moreover, mental health programs should incorporate strategies to mitigate any potential negative effects of media consumption on students' well-being.

Authors: Fayola Carissa , Sitompul Roswita , Isnainul OK
Published: July 2024

In the current era of globalization, technological advancements are rapidly progressing, especially in the field of information technology, giving rise to the phenomenon of "creators." Creators are individuals or groups who produce creative content, such as videos, photos, or other digital forms, accessible via the internet. This profession demands protection for the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) generated by creators. This protection is crucial because content uploaded without permission can economically and morally harm the creators. Unauthorized re-uploading creates serious problems for creators, damaging their image and credibility. It also leads to economic losses as creators lose potential income from affiliate links. Copyright, as regulated by Law Number 28 of 2014, provides legal protection for creators, covering both moral and economic rights over their works. This study aims to analyze the impact on the image and economic rights of creators, the factors hindering law enforcement, and the legal efforts made to address copyright violations. The research uses a normative juridical approach with secondary data analysis from written and electronic sources. The results of this study indicate that the government has implemented various measures to protect the copyright of content creators from violations, especially by unauthorized reuploaders. These measures include supervising the content upload process, ensuring content quality meets standards, and monitoring content usage to prevent misuse. The government has also developed secure information systems, monitored user activities, and enforced legal sanctions against copyright violators. The government is expected to strengthen regulations and IPR protection and enhance monitoring of unauthorized content re-uploading.

The Role of Cerebral Oximetry in Predicting and Preventing Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction
Authors: Sezer Akman Tuğçehan , Şen Ahmet
Published: July 2024

Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) is a serious problem that is frequently seen especially in elderly patients and can cause permanent cognitive decline, prolonged hospital stay, loss of independence, decreased quality of life and even mortality. Identifying individuals at risk of developing POCD can prevent this condition by enabling the development of early interventions. POCD has a multifactorial etiology, and intraoperative cerebral perfusion disorder is considered to be one of these mechanisms. Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) device provides monitoring of regional brain oxygenation. There are studies on the predictability and preventability of cognitive disorders that may develop after surgery with the use of NIRS. In this article, it is aimed to present the study results and inferences regarding the relationships between the areas of use of NIRS and the pathogenesis of POCD.
Bispectral Index Monitoring and Combinations in Anesthesia Safety
Authors: Tekir Yılmaz Elvan
Published: July 2024

Anesthesia should ideally provide an adequate level of hypnosis (sleep, unawareness/non-recall), analgesia and a suitable environment for surgery (immobility, muscle relaxation). Monitoring of the depth of anesthesia is recommended to reduce awareness during anesthesia and to improve the administration of anesthetic drugs. The bispectral index (BIS) is a numerical scale based on the analysis of EEG parameters and can reduce the adverse effects associated with over- or under-dosing of anesthetic drugs. BIS is the most studied and best documented method of cerebral monitoring
This summary is based on selected literature on BIS monitoring and its combination with other monitoring modalities over the last 20 years.
Use of Somatic Oximetry in Traumatic Organ Injuries
Authors: Erdivanlı Başar
Published: July 2024

Somatic oximetry, despite its frequent application in the clinical assessment of trauma patients, suffers from a notable dearth of randomized controlled trials, leading to an absence of systematic reviews or a defined level of evidence pertaining to its clinical utility.
Somatic oximetry can provide information not only in direct monitoring of traumatized tissue but also in monitoring standardized areas such as the thenar region, shedding light on compensatory mechanisms of the body. The employment of the vascular occlusion test in somatic oximetry affords dynamic measurements, presenting a valuable tool for assessing the efficacy of diverse therapeutic interventions. Recent research findings establish that somatic oximetry plays a pivotal role in gauging the need for resuscitation during the initial evaluation of trauma patients. Furthermore, its application extends to monitoring oxygenation levels in damaged extremities and superficially located internal organs, particularly in the pediatric population.
Despite the demonstrated benefits, a significant impediment to the widespread adoption of standardized somatic oximetry, specifically utilizing StO2, arises from the prevalent practice of amalgamating data from trauma and cardiac arrest patients. This practice hinders the establishment of a standardized evaluation protocol before the completion of resuscitation efforts. Consequently, the potential of somatic oximetry in mitigating secondary damage remains inadequately explored and warrants further rigorous scientific investigation.
Capnography in Outpatient Anesthesia
Authors: Özdemir Abdullah
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The concept of outpatient anesthesia first came up in the 1970s. Performing planned surgery of patients on the same day and then being discharged is called outpatient surgery, and the anesthesia applied in the same session is called outpatient anesthesia. Outpatient surgery is not performed for every patient. There are many factors that determine whether patient population scheduled for outpatient surgery is suitable for outpatient surgery.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the CO level released at the end of expiration. ETCO2 reflects the adequacy of ventilation and perfusion. ETCO2 measurement can be performed with many techniques. Infrared spectrography is the most common technique. It can be used in intubated and tracheostomized patients who are provided with respiratory support with a mechanical ventilator, as well as in patients who are not intubated and undergo sedoanalgesia, allowing the monitoring of respiration by measuring. The capnogram consists of two main components, inspiration and expiration, and these components point to four separate phases. It is known that drugs used in sedation and analgesia can often have negative effects on respiratory system. Therefore, patients’ oxygenation and hemodynamic status should be closely monitored. It can continuously monitor frequency and depth of patients’ breathing using a capnograph. An increase in amount of ETCO2 or a decrease in respiratory pattern is interpreted as respiratory depression. In addition to capnography, a parameter showing respiratory status, defined as "Integrated Pulmonary Index" (IPI), consisting of capnography, pulse oximetry, respiratory rate, and mathematical analysis of heart rate, is also used in cases where outpatient sedation is applied.

How Surgical Positions Affect Cerebral Oxygenation
Authors: Cebeci Zübeyir
Published: July 2024

How Surgical Positions Affect Cerebral Oxygenation?
This study investigates the use of cerebral oximetry in various surgical positions and its impact on cerebral oxygenation. We conducted a literature review through Medline, and Ebscohost, focusing on articles published until October 30, 2023. Our findings indicate that:
• Cerebral oxygenation is affected by all surgical positions, with the most significant clinical impact observed in the seated position.
• Maintaining cerebral autoregulation is crucial for preventing cerebral hypoxia or desaturation. Upholding a mean arterial pressure above 60 mmHg is essential for this purpose.
• Anesthesia can negatively impact cerebral oxygenation by potentially impairing cerebral autoregulation.
• Inhalation anesthetics may have a more beneficial effect on cerebral oxygenation compared to intravenous anesthetics.
• The risk of cerebral desaturation increases in elderly patients and those with comorbidities.
• Standardization of cerebral desaturation definitions is needed to better assess its relationship with postoperative complications.
• The position of the blood pressure transducer can affect the accuracy of intraoperative monitoring. In the seated position, placing it at the level of the acoustic meatus provides a more precise assessment.
Our study highlights the importance of considering the effects of different surgical positions on cerebral oxygenation. This knowledge can assist anesthesiologists in monitoring patients intraoperatively and potentially preventing postoperative neurological complications.

Investigating the Relationship Between Cerebral Oximetry and Arterial Blood Gas Parameters
Authors: Turunç Esra , Dost Burhan , Kömürcü Özgür , Özdemir Emine
Published: July 2024

Cerebral oximetry, employing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) through a transcutaneous membrane, is a non-invasive monitoring method designed to assess average regional tissue oxygenation in the frontal cortex. The literature consistently underscores its invaluable role in gauging cerebral tissue oxygen levels throughout the perioperative period. Notably, guidelines routinely recommend the use of NIRS in adult cardiac surgery.
In contrast, arterial blood gas analysis remains a standard practice in cardiac surgery to measure general systemic oxygenation. While arterial blood gas analysis provides insights into overall systemic oxygenation, NIRS focuses specifically on regional oxygenation within the brain tissue. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between NIRS and arterial blood gas parameters, shedding light on their correlation and significance in the context of assessing oxygenation levels.
Cerebral Autoregulation Assessment through Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Arterial Monitoring: Advancements and Clinical Implications
Authors: Aydin Muhammed Enes , Karapınar Yunus Emre , Bozan Berivan , Çelik Erkan Cem
Published: July 2024

Cerebral autoregulation, maintaining stable cerebral blood flow across varying arterial pressures, is vital in-patient care during surgery. Traditional views suggest a mean arterial pressure range of 50-150 mm Hg for effective autoregulation. However, patient-specific variations in autoregulatory patterns, particularly in cases of impaired autoregulation, call for personalized hemodynamic and blood pressure management during surgical procedures.

In the evaluation of cerebral autoregulation, NIRS serves as a beneficial monitoring tool. The cerebral oximetry index, correlating cerebral oxygen saturation with perfusion pressure, aids in determining autoregulation limits. The literature shows varying impacts of vasoactive drugs on patients with different autoregulatory responses, emphasizing the need for individualized care.

In summary, NIRS is crucial for monitoring cerebral autoregulation, and adjusting arterial blood pressure targets based on NIRS data could improve prevention of cerebral hyper/hypoperfusion. This approach, moving away from a generalized strategy, advocates for a more customized, physiology-based patient management.

Published: July 2024

Anemia increases the duration of hospital stay, costs, mortality, and morbidity. It is a serious health problem commonly seen in both perioperative and critical care patients. The primary purpose of blood is to transport oxygen to cells for the realization of energy-producing aerobic metabolism. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technique is a non-invasive monitoring method that assesses average regional tissue oxygenation. The cerebral oximeter was placed bilaterally on the frontal cortex and measured near the transcutaneous membrane. It is believed that NIRS monitoring will be an effective key in resolving the dilemma of anemia and transfusion in patients by detecting tissue oxygenation disorders. Clinical studies are required for this. In this article, the connection between NIRS and anemia will be discussed.
An Innovative Approach in Emergency Medicine: Monitoring Brain Oxygenation with Cerebral Oximetry
Authors: Gönenç Çekiç Özgen
Published: July 2024

The monitoring of cerebral oxygenation is a method that is not commonly integrated into the majority of existing emergency departments(ED), but it has attracted increasing attention, particularly in recent years. As the severity of ischemia escalates during cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR), the probability of both survival and favorable neurological outcomes diminishes. Therefore, the imperative development of methods to quantify the magnitude of ischemia, particularly cerebral ischemia, during resuscitation is critical for enhancing overall outcomes. Cerebral oximetry, using near-infrared spectroscopy, represents a noninvasive method for measuring brain oxygenation. The objective of this manuscript is to present an overview of the application of cerebral oximetry in the ED.

Published: July 2024

No primeiro trimestre de 2024, as principais economias mundiais, mesmo em um ambiente com pressão inflacionária e forte aperto monetário, apresentaram aquecimento na demanda interna e crescimento econômico. No Brasil, os preços apresentaram desaceleração no período, porém ainda se mantêm elevados, sobretudo para os alimentos, o que dificulta uma maior flexibilização da política monetária. A Bahia apresentou a maioria dos indicadores econômicos com sinal positivo e crescimento da atividade econômica no trimestre, exceto pela queda na produção agrícola, devido às perdas causadas pelo fenômeno climático El Niño. As perspectivas para o ano de 2024 são de um ambiente econômico mais equilibrado, com o nível dos preços próximos da meta inflacionária, taxas de juros mais baixas, equilíbrio das contas públicas e maior confiança de empreendedores para ampliar os investimentos, determinantes para dar a dinâmica necessária à expansão da atividade econômica no estado.

ANÁLISE DA DINÂMICA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL: UMA APLICAÇÃO DO MÉTODO SHIFT-SHARE PARA AS MESORREGIÕES DO ESTADO DA BAHIA NO PERÍODO 2010-2021
Authors: Oliveira Kaiza Correia da Silva
Published: July 2024

Nas últimas décadas, observa-se uma significativa reestruturação produtiva das economias, impulsionada pelos movimentos de fragmentação e integração da produção em diversas regiões. Essas mudanças também resultaram em uma crescente desindustrialização de algumas regiões, o que tem contribuído para ampliar e aprofundar as desigualdades socioeconômicas regionais. Dado esse contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar a evolução e desenvolvimento do tecido produtivo baiano sob o prisma dessas recentes mudanças, através do exame das dinâmicas apresentadas pelas mesorregiões, identificando as alterações nas atividades produtivas a partir da aplicação do método diferencial-estrutural shift-share, com base nos dados do emprego formal para o período entre 2010 e 2021. Os principais resultados encontrados evidenciam que a Bahia tem perdido dinamismo econômico devido, sobretudo, a reduções no número de empregos em setores mais industriais e dinâmicos, ao mesmo tempo que tem elevado a participação do setor de serviços no PIB, caracterizado por baixa produtividade, menor intensidade tecnológica e menores efeitos de encadeamentos setoriais.

Published: July 2024

O combate à desigualdade e à pobreza tem sido um desafio persistente no Brasil e no mundo. Com índices cada vez mais alarmantes de disparidade na distribuição de renda e no aumento da miserabilidade social, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, torna-se imperativo examinar o papel das políticas sociais na mitigação desses problemas e garantia do pleno exercício da cidadania pelas parcelas mais vulnerabilizadas da população. Isto posto, o presente trabalho procurou refletir sobre o papel desempenhado pelo Bolsa Família como instrumento de efetivação da cidadania, considerando os impactos gerados pelo programa na redução da pobreza no Brasil. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, que envolveu revisão bibliográfica, análise estatística, análise de documentos governamentais, análise de relatórios de organizações nacionais e internacionais, no sentido de determinar por meio de dados quantitativos e qualitativos os resultados alcançados pelo Bolsa Família nas últimas duas décadas, desde sua implantação em 2003 até 2023, bem como os desafios e perspectivas que se colocam para seu aprimoramento visando à construção de uma nova agenda social, política e cultural voltada à efetivação dos direitos dos cidadãos.

Authors: Ali Sameetah , Babar Saad
Published: July 2024

Knowledge creation allows organizations to innovate and respond efficiently to the environmental dynamics. This research examines the relationship of organizational knowledge creating capabilities with employee performance, and also determines mediating effect of organization based self esteem and resilience in this relationship. The organizational knowledge creating capabilities (structure and individual knowledge), organization based self esteem, resilience and employee performance were measured by using a questionnaire of 7 point likert scale. Data were collected from healthcare sector. The results revealed that organizations’ structural (command structures, work design, policies and reward system promoting interactions and collective behaviour) and individual’s knowledge creating capabilities of an organization have positive impact on employee performance. The relationship is also mediated through organization based self esteem and resilience. The study highlights the importance of determining characteristics of knowledge management capabilities to develop frameworks for effective implementation of knowledge initiatives in organizations.
Fundamentals and Theory of Large Eddy Simulation
Authors: Kara Rukiye
Published: August 2024

This chapter compares and contrasts Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) in turbulence modeling within Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The scope includes a thorough understanding of turbulence, subgrid-scale modeling, and the properties of RANS and LES approaches. It investigates the underlying distinctions between their methodologies and illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of each method for capturing turbulent flows. Basic definitions of length scales in fluid mechanics will be given, and in light of these, RANS, LES, and DNS methodologies will be explained. Furthermore, the chapter emphasizes RANS and LES’s actual applications, computational complexities, and future prospects, providing insights into their roles in diverse engineering disciplines.

Authors: Čábyová Ľudmila , Krajčovič Peter
Published: August 2024

This chapter examines the influence of TikTok on its users and its broader social implications. The chapter goes on to discuss the benefits of the platform, including high user engagement and the potential for viral content dissemination. It also considers the encouragement of creativity, originality and self-expression. However, it also identifies a number of risks associated with use, including those pertaining to privacy, the security of user data and the impact on mental health. The text also considers the issue of social media addiction and the negative psychological consequences that can result from excessive use of social media, such as reduced self-esteem and increased stress. The analysis of empirical data and scientific studies offers a comprehensive understanding of the TikTok phenomenon. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for researchers, marketing professionals and policymakers who are concerned with the regulation and safe use of social media. The final recommendations emphasise the necessity for further research and the implementation of effective strategies to mitigate the identified risks and encourage the responsible use of this dynamic platform.
Esophageal Obstruction from Food Bolus Impaction Successfully Managed with the “Upright Posture, Chin Tuck, Double Swallow” Maneuver: A Case Report
Authors: Barden Matthias , Schwartz Michael E
Published: July 2024

Introduction: An attempt at medical management is often the initial step in addressing esophageal obstruction from an impacted food bolus. Medical management, however, has limited success and often requires urgent endoscopy. We present a case in which standard medical treatment failed, but a swallowing augmentation maneuver resolved the obstruction. Case Report: A 67-year-old female presented with esophageal obstruction after eating steak. Transfer to higher level of care for endoscopy was initiated; however, the receiving gastroenterologist suggested an “upright posture, chin tuck, double swallow” maneuver. This immediately resolved the patient’s symptoms, and she was discharged home. Conclusion: This case suggests a novel, non-endoscopic technique for esophageal obstruction from food bolus impaction.

Background: In today's world, due to intense competition and the rapid pace of production, exploiting knowledge and converting it into economic returns has become a critical management issue for academics and capital owners. Commercialization activities can impact the educational and research programs of universities, potentially leading to resistance against them. Objectives: The current study was conducted to identify the challenges of the commercialization process in health science research. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted between June and December 2022 in Tehran province, Iran. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 22 key individuals, including university management and technology experts, as well as CEOs and experts from knowledge-based companies, selected through purposive sampling. The interview guide was designed based on four in-depth interviews, theoretical foundations, and comparative study findings. The obtained data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method in MAXQDA 10 software. Results: The challenges of the commercialization process for health sciences research results were categorized into six main themes and 16 sub-themes. The main themes identified in this study were rules and regulations, societal culture, university management and infrastructure, human resources, financial systems, and organizational cooperation with industry. Conclusions: Policymakers, especially senior health managers, can create a suitable platform for the optimal use of resources and the expansion of targeted relationships between universities and industries by incorporating economic insight into academic services. By compiling relevant laws and guidelines, optimizing resource management, achieving financial independence for universities, and increasing the productivity of health research, the high costs associated with the commercialization of academic research projects can be reduced.
