One frequent and serious side effect of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is peritonitis. Following the acquisition of the necessary microbiologic specimens, empirical antibiotic therapy covering both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms (including Pseudomonas species) should be initiated when a patient on PD exhibits clinical signs consistent with PD-associated peritonitis. The best administration route is intraperitoneal. To stop subsequent fungal peritonitis, antifungal prophylaxis should be administered, ideally in the form of oral nystatin. Antibiotic therapy can be modified in accordance with the results of the PD effluent Gram stain or culture and sensitivity tests. The most recent ISPD guidelines include a thorough explanation of how each antibiotic should be used. Antibiotics are often used for two to three weeks, depending on the particular organisms that are being treated. For refractory, relapsing, or fungal peritonitis, catheter removal and interim hemodialysis support are advised. Following full resolution of the peritonitis, a new PD catheter may be placed in certain individuals. Refractory exit site or tunnel infections should also be taken into consideration while removing PD catheters. The use of PD as a first-line dialysis modality is supported by a global trend of declining PD-associated peritonitis rates following improvements in clinical management.
Unveiling the Female Self through Madness in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar
Authors:   Department of English Language and Literature Istanbul Aydın University, Istanbul, Türkiye, Gazairi Alaa
Published: January 2024

Over the centuries, the word madness has been associated with negative connotations. However, what if experiencing madness is the only way to achieve liberation? Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar (1966) tells the story of Esther Greenwood and her dream of becoming a famous poet, which is shattered by the deterioration of her mental health. The novel explores the mental and emotional struggles of Esther and depicts an image of the effects of social pressures, gender roles and psychiatric institutions’ interventions on Esther's psychological well-being. The novel takes place in the Cold War era which is characterised by its extensive paranoia and extreme surveillance. This article will, in this context, argue that the construction of the female self must undergo a self-destructive madness as an essential step toward achieving female liberation, given the historical repression centered around the female body. It will also reveal that madness emerges from the socio-political conflicts of the Cold War era, as reflected in Esther’s perception of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) as a tool wielded by the political agenda to mold individuals into obedient citizens.

Therefore, this research aims to analyze the influence of Moral Reasoning on Internal Audit Quality with Auditor Competence as a moderating variable. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach. The data used in this research is primary data distributed to 300 BUMN internal auditors spread throughout Indonesia. This data uses a questionnaire method in its distribution containing the choices of agree, strongly agree, strongly disagree, disagree, and normal/average regarding auditor reasoning, auditor competence, and internal audit standards. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jika  the Moral Reasoning variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Internal Audit Quality because the P-Values value is positive and is below the significance level of 0.05, namely 0.019. This is because good moral reasoning from an auditor can make the auditor prioritize the interests of the public/company/state rather than personal interests or only some parties.  This proves that the author's first hypothesis and first belief can be accepted. Apart from that, the Auditor Competency variable can moderate the relationship between the Moral Reasoning variable and Internal Audit Quality because the P-Values value is in a positive direction and is far below the significance level of 0.05, namely 0.000, even smaller than the direct assessment of 0.019. This is because good Moral Reasoning makes auditors prioritize the public interest, if accompanied by good Auditor Competency, it will make the influence of Moral Reasoning on Internal Audit Quality more significant.

The transformations taking place in the post-Soviet space represent a significant stage in the world politics of our time. Independent states formed in the post–Soviet space faced a number of problems that required immediate solution: among the main ones was the issue of historical, cultural and finally national self-identification, which implies the perception by society of itself as a single nation with a common historical, cultural, ethnic path; the perception of its nation as part of the world system. Due to the uniqueness of the historical path of the former Soviet republics, their transformation processes have their own exceptional specifics of development. The post-Soviet states are representatives of a unique transformational model: their national–state identity includes both features common to the entire post-Soviet space in the form of pre-Soviet, Soviet history, culture, value structure and the territory on which it existed, as well as private individual features for each state - linguistic specificity, traditional values, national interests and foreign policy vectors, relevant for young independent republics. At the moment, we are witnessing the formation of a new form of national identity, which consists in the awareness by citizens of the state as a sovereign and equal part of the world community, interacting equally with the whole world, and not being exclusively part of the post-Soviet space.
