Authors: Drobyshev Victor A. , Shpagina Lubov A. , Vlasov Andrey A. , Umnikova Marina V. , Mashanskaya Alexandra V.
Published: November 2022

Low adherence of patients with arterial hypertension to regular therapy increases the risk of fatal complications. Patients’ motivation for treatment can be increased by non-drug methods of exposure.
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the inclusion of dynamic electric neurostimulation in the treatment regimens of patients with arterial hypertension to control blood pressure (BP) levels.
Material and methods. 60 patients aged 25-55 years old with verified diagnosis of arterial hypertension (I-II degree) were examined in Novosibirsk City Clinical Hospital № 2. The 1st group (the main group, n=30) received a 15-day course of acupuncture of the neiguan point from the apparatus «Leomax-Cardio Compact» in addition to the standard therapy; the 2nd group (comparison group, n=30) received the standard treatment complex and simulation of acupuncture exposure. Patients were trained to use the «LeomaxCardio compact» device and to perform self-monitoring of arterial pressure (BP) from the UA-767 (AND) device. The checkup included carbohydrate, lipid metabolism, kidney function, electrocardiography assessment, daily BP monitoring.
Results and discussion. By the end of observation, the target BP levels in the 1st group patients were 70.0% achieved, we managed to correct the variability of systolic and diastolic BP relative to the initial values by 1.3 and 1.6 times respectively, to decrease the rate of morning rise of systolic BP by 1.3 times, to increase the frequency of the variant of daily BP profile “dippers” by 1.3 times and to decrease the number of “non-dippers” by 1.7 times, which differed from the similar indicators in the 2nd group. Electro-puncture with «LeomaxCardio Compact» may have an antihypertensive effect due its effect on the suprasegmental parts of the autonomic nervous system.
Conclusion. Inclusion of electropuncture from the device Leomax-Cardio Compact in the treatment regimens of patients with uncomplicated arterial hypertension allows to correct the neurovegetative regulation, which allows effective control of the target
values of systemic hemodynamics

Transforming and integrating informal sectors into formal e-waste management system: A case study in Guiyu, China
Authors: Wang Congying , Zhao Fu , Handwerker Carol
Published: November 2022

Minimizing informal recycling activities is critical for the sustainable end-of-life treatment of electronics. Recent studies have started to revisit the concept of informality in recycling and reported empirical examples where informal sectors coordinate with formal sectors, jointly contributing to a greener recycling solution. This case study examines the systematic effort to transform and integrate the informal sector into the formal recycling industry for managing e-waste in Guiyu, China. This paper analyzes the policy design, implementation, technology development and market establishment of Guiyu's formal sector that enabled the evolution of the local informal recycling industry. The results show that the salient success factor is to offer advanced and centralized e-waste treatment by constructing a formal recycling sector while maintaining the competitive characteristics of the old informal businesses, including manual dismantling and private e-waste collection networks. Those characteristics ensured increased reuse value and sufficient e-waste sources. Meanwhile, the study found that many challenges and conflicts during this transition are rooted in the often-overlooked societal and historical contexts that profoundly shaped the local recycling industry. Authorities of regions facing challenges regulating informal recycling of e-waste, especially developing countries, could initiate similar systems based on local realities and the collaboration between formal and informal sectors to minimize the environmental and societal consequences of unregulated informal e-waste recycling.
Cognitive enhancement: a brief overview
Authors: Outhoff Kim
Published: November 2022

Cognitive enhancement involves the non-medical use of illicit and/or prescription drugs, such as agents prescribed for attention deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, usually in order to stay awake and to counteract fatigue and loss of concentration, generally in the context of high workload and stress. Growing interest in taking prescription stimulant drugs for non-licensed purposes to improve academic, work and sporting performance has raised medical, ethical and regulatory issues.
Fast segmentation of point clouds using a convolutional neural network for helping visually impaired people find the closest traversable region
Authors: Tinizaray Paúl , Aguilar Wilbert , Lucio José
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we introduce an approach for helping visually impaired people to find the closest-to-user traversable region. The aim of our work is to reduce the computational cost of this task. For this purpose, we develop a convolutional neural network that classifies patches to segment floor regions in a point cloud. Segmented regions are evaluated by their size and position in the point cloud to identify the closest-to-user traversable region. We evaluate our approach using the NYU-v2 dataset and find that by searching only in the lower section of the point cloud, it is possible to reduce the processing time while finding the closest floor regions. Our approach reports a better processing time than related works, making it suitable to quickly find the closest-to-user traversable region in point clouds.
Peter Brook: Threads of Time
Authors: Brook Peter
Published: November 2022

"First there was the master conjurer adept at musicals, farces, opera and Shakespeare. Then there was the philosopher-king … who has devoted his energies to a quest for a theatre that was simple in form and rich in meaning." - Michael Billington

The theatre's greatest contemporary director tells the story of his life. Peter Brook was the modern stage's greatest inventor. For over 50 years he held audiences spellbound with his critically acclaimed productions. This is his account of his life. Born in 1925 in London, at 21 Brook became the enfant terrible of British theatre, directing major post-war productions of Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon, opera at Covent Garden and new plays in London's West End. He even made films. In 1964 he produced Peter Weiss's Marat/Sade for the RSC and his whole approach to theatre became radicalised. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Brook began exploring the roots of non-Western theatre which once again changed his view of what theatre could be for actors and audiences. His journey took him to Paris where he founded a company at the Bouffes du Nord theatre. Brook's autobiography charts all the stages of his aesthetic and spiritual journey, and touches on all parts of a career that has been widely reported but never previously talked about from his personal perspective.
Naples in the Time of Masaniello
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

Working with the authors closest to the events, this chapter takes up
the revolt’s proximate causes: the weakness and inequity of the city’s
institutions, and the fiscal burdens on the populace. Giulio Genoino,
a learned lawyer who has long championed electoral parity across
the classes, speaks to the knights of the noble seggi against the most
recent gabella. Both Genoino and Masaniello have suffered at the
hands of the duke of Maddaloni, Diomede Carafa. But an alliance
with the nobles is not easy, even if, with the rest of Naples, they share
strong feelings against Spanish rule.
The Visit to the Palace
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

Thanks to the Cardinal Filomarino, negotiations for drafting an
agreement with the viceroy continue. The people desire, among other
things, the abolition of the gabelle, imposed after Charles V, and
the direct election of their eletto, hitherto chosen by the viceroy.
Masaniello goes to the palace, escorted by thousands of men and
women. The most detailed reports help us reconstruct the viceroy’s
nimble ruses, the capopopolo’s strong emotions, his pride in his success
and his guilty feelings towards the king, which bring him to promise
to dispatch him five million ducats, in recompense for the privileges
granted. But this move could not have pleased the Cardinal.
A Day of “Justice”
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

Masaniello continues to deal with the food supply; he also hands out
assorted ‘patents’ to his plebeian friends. Thanks to the contemporary
sources, we can lay out their life stories, which often share traits in
common with Masaniello’s own. With the viceroy’s assent, he deals
out justice at the Market, as if he were the city’s long-desired ‘justicer’.
But Masaniello’s harsh rulings provoke revulsion. The sources show
how he naively thinks that he acts here in harmony with the viceroy.
A witness writes, ‘he was assisted by royal judges.’
Be a Man, Beowulf
Authors: Christie E. J.
Published: November 2022

While early critics of Beowulf, almost exclusively male, projected their
gender expectations onto the poem and found their protagonist “manly,”
it was not until the mid-twentieth century that the gentleness ascribed
to early medieval English kings attracted close consideration. This essay
makes a small contribution to the feminist recovery of the diversity of
ways to be male by examining the Old English discourse of gentleness, and
rereading in the context of a crisis of masculinity. Yet, while Old English
didactic texts distinguished between meekness and anger, duty and
“slackness,” all such ideas about courage became emphatically gendered
only in their reception. It is clear, in other words, that though Beowulf
was always male – criticism made him “a man.”
Chaste Bodies and Untimely Virgins
Authors: Weston Lisa M. C.
Published: November 2022

Bede’s double inscription of Aethelthryth in both narrative and hymn interrupts
the temporal linearity of his Historia Ecclesiastica just as her adamant
refusal of dynastic reproduction disrupts and threatens the futurity of the
Northumbrian royal line. Her militant choice of virginity over marriage and of
eternity over worldly time provides a female model for the male community
to whom and for whom Bede writes. Bede dismantles binary gender as timebound,
but he does so by appropriating women’s lived experience and literary
expression. As both historical subject and devotional object, Aethelthryth thus
constitutes a pivotal but problematic figure in Bede’s theoretical engagement
with the entanglement of temporality, sexuality, and gender that underwrites
monastic identity, male and female, in early medieval England.
Dangerous Voices, Erased Bodies
Authors: Sweany Erin E.
Published: November 2022

Entry 57 of Leechbook III is a brief, vague remedy that is ambiguous but has
a long history of being interpreted as a reference to witchcraft. This essay
assesses how potential female voices and bodies in the Old English medical
corpus have been interpreted as agents of harm by modern scholars, based
on thin philological evidence. This essay relies on a combination of lexis,
syntax, and context to interpret a thinly attested Old English illness label
and propose a previously overlooked female patient in Leechbook III. The
case of wif gemædla serves as a reminder that scholarship of early medieval
English medicine continues to rely heavily on nineteenth-century translations
and editions, which has left us with a legacy of outdated editorial
and cultural assumptions that now require updating.
A Road Nearly Taken
Authors: Hussey Matthew T.
Published: November 2022

Some medieval studies scholarship has foregrounded perceived shortcomings
in scribal hands as well as mistakes in the Latin of a constellation
of texts and books from late seventh- and early eighth-century English
foundations. These assessments have diverted scholarly attention from
these otherwise revealing works. By recentering these textual artifacts by
means of historical, literary, paleographical, and documentary research,
the Frankish influence on early English religion and learning can be
recovered, and at least one extant manuscript may be ascribed to a nun’s
hand: an early eighth-century copy of Isidore of Seville’s Synonyma written
by an anonymous nun in the monastery at Bath.
Mughal Dress and Spirituality: The Age of
Sufi Kings
Authors: Hedayat Munroe Nazanin
Published: November 2022

Mughal kingship is discussed as temporal and spiritual power derived from
genealogical and political connections with Sufi groups, who migrated to India
and popularized Persian culture and literature, including Khamsa poetry. Figural
silks from Safavid Iran are analyzed as the inspiration for those made in the royal
workshops of the Mughals, who fashion themselves after Iranian kings. Sufi
naqshbandan (‘textile designers’) travelled to India seeking patronage and spiritual
freedom and, becoming absorbed into the Mughal atelier, transferred their silk
design and weaving skills to indigenous craftsmen. Emperors Akbar (r. 1556-1605)
and Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) established cosmopolitan courts that emphasized their
ties with Sufi leaders, while exploring other faiths. The use of figural silks at the
Mughal court brings patronage of the Khamsa silks into consideration.
Noëls and Bodily Fluids: The Business of
Low-Country Ceremonial Fountains
Authors: Emerson Catherine
Published: November 2022

The use of fountains displaying bodily fluids in both human and animal form
was common in the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. The practice has a special
function within the festive culture of Low Country ceremonies. Far from being
regarded as indecent, fountains depicting urinating, lactating and vomiting set
the spectacle in an atemporal festive time which could be read in accordance
with numerous interpretative traditions, including that of Christianity. Different
thinkers regarded animals as more or less moral than humans, but there was a
strain of thought that saw animals and fountains as having a comparable inner life.
Fountains existed in a fantasy world. Unacceptable conduct was read symbolically
when depicted by a fountain.
Orosius: An Iberian Patriot’s History of Rome
Authors: Fear Andrew
Published: November 2022

Even to this day, the history of ancient Rome, despite the size of her empire,
is all too often exclusively considered through the eyes and reactions of
metropolitan Romans. This chapter primarily uses the example of the
Spanish writer Paulus Orosius to explore the response of provincials to their
membership of the Roman Empire. It examines how Orosius, within his
overall general history of antiquity, carefully uses incidents from the Iberian
peninsula, such as the siege of Numantia and the Cantabrian Wars, at
crucial moments in its development to underline the importance as he sees
it of local contributions to the empire. The chapter develops these points
to examine the growth of a Burkean Romanitas where local and broader
forms of identity formed complimentary rather than competing roles.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria with sagittal vein thrombosis as the initial presentation
Authors: Dahal Shreyaska , Soufi Mazhar , Kulkarni Sayali , Zuberi Jamshed
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a rare disease that presents with a variety of symptoms including hematuria, thrombosis, and other non-specific symptoms. Venous thrombosis is not uncommon in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). However, a thromboembolic event as the presenting symptom of PNH is rare and can be life-threatening, when affects the sagittal veins in the brain.

Case Report: A 28-year-old female presented to the facility with left-sided hemiparesis. Initial workup revealed a right-sided subacute hemorrhagic infarct of the parietal lobe, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) venography demonstrated extensive venous thrombosis involving the sagittal, straight, and transverse sinuses, with secondary edema in the involved hemisphere. Thrombotic events may affect up to 50% of PNH patients and account for at least one-third of mortality in PNH. Although disease presentation in PNH is variable, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as the first thrombotic event in disease presentation along with the absence of hematuria makes this case unique. High suspicion of thrombosis and a differential diagnosis of PNH should be considered in young patients presenting with these symptoms, even in the absence of hematuria. Ravulizumab has significantly reduced thrombotic events, and these therapies should be immediately commenced upon high suspicion of thrombosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offers the only curative approach for PNH to date.

Conclusion: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a very rare and life-threatening disease. Hematuria is not always present in this disease. Complement inhibitor therapy should be started immediately upon confirmation of the diagnosis to decrease future thrombotic events. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria patients may need allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the only curative approach available today.

Published: November 2022

As espécies do gênero Plumeria são conhecidas pela fragrância forte e agradável; no entanto, sua composição volátil e variação de aroma são amplamente desconhecidas. Os perfis diurno e noturno dos aromas florais de três espécies de Plumeria foram avaliados com base na composição química (por HS-SPME / GC-MS). Vinte e quatro compostos foram identificados. Linalol foi o composto majoritário em P. alba (86,5% dia e 71,0% noite), menor em P. rubra (8,3% dia e 13,0% noite) e ausente em P. obtusa. O composto majoritário encontrado em P. rubra foi o benzoato de metila (55,9% dia e 62,3% noite) e em P. obtusa foi salicilato de metila (30,2% dia e 20,6% noite). Todas as espécies revelaram variações diurnas e noturnas na composição de seus metabólitos voláteis, embora a diferença tenha sido mais proeminente em Plumeria alba. Diferenças nos voláteis das espécies Plumeria podem ser a causa da infestação preferencial de plantas de P. alba pela mariposa tetrio sphinx.
Political Fake News Detection from Different News Source on Social Media using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Rahman Mahfujur , Hasan Mehedi , Billah Md Masum , Sajuti Rukaiya Jahan
Published: November 2022

People are more dependable on online news systems than ever in this modern time and day. The more people depend on online news, magazines, and journals, the more likely it will have more significant consequences of fake news or rumors. In the era of social networking, it has become a significant problem that negatively influences society. The fact is that the internet has become more accessible than ever, and its uses have increased exponentially. From 2005 to 2020, overall web users have increased from 1.1 billion to 3.96 billion. As most individuals' primary sources are microblogging networks, fake news spreads faster than ever. Thus it has become very complicated to detect fake news over the internet. For that purpose, we have used four traditional machine learning (ML) algorithms and long short-term memory (LSTM) methods. The four traditional methods are as follows logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT) classification, k-nearest neighbors (KNN) classification, and naive bayes (NB) classification. To conduct this experiment, we first implemented four traditional machine learning methods. Then we trained our dataset with LSTM and Bi-LSTM (bidirectional long-short term memory) to get the best-optimized result. This paper experimented with four traditional methods and two deep learning models to find the best models for detecting fake news. In our research, we can see that, from four traditional methods, logistic regression performs best and generate 96% accuracy, and the Bi-LSTM model can generate 99% accuracy, which outbreaks all previous scores.
Research on Competitive Strategies of Traditional Media and Network Media
Authors: Quan Zhiqi
Published: November 2022

In this era of Internet information explosion, it is actually a major manifestation of the flourishing of all kinds of media. Most of the information people get is learned from the Internet, some of which are true and some of which are false. Network media is rapidly occupying the position of traditional media, constantly expanding its influence and widening the breadth and depth of publicity. There are certain differences between online media and traditional media, but there are certain similarities in the way and effect of information dissemination. Based on the development status of the existing network media, this paper analyzes the differences between traditional media and network media from the basic theory, and compares them respectively. The research results show that although traditional media are facing challenges in terms of content, technology and talents with the development of network media and the promotion of Internet technology, network media and traditional media are different in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

Published: November 2022

Represented by New Oriental Education Group in the education industry as the third industry, the service industry has been occupying an important status in China's market economy, and by 2020 showed a trend of a surge in its development, but since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, the education industry has received the unprecedented hit, many education training institutions are facing the risk of bankruptcy. As a result, the unemployment rate in China's labor market has increased significantly from 2020 to 2022, with countless unemployed workers in the education industry facing the dilemma of changing careers or losing their jobs. Therefore, this paper makes a deep analysis of the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and challenges of education and training institutions represented by the New Oriental Education Group by using the SWOT model and puts forward relevant suggestions. This paper specifically analyzed that under the epidemic situation and after China's double reduction policy was promulgated; the New Oriental Education Group was faced with the need to significantly reduce the training part of primary and secondary schools, shift the focus of operation from the original K9 to overseas study and adult education, and change a large proportion of the traditional face-to-face teaching method to online teaching. At the same time, the New Oriental Education Group has developed its own special online training software and hardware, which enabled it to achieve a relatively smooth transition from offline face-to-face teaching to online teaching at the first moment of the outbreak. However, online teaching also has some inevitable problems and shortcomings. In this regard, this paper will put forward the corresponding suggestions.
The North and South Divide: A Drag on the Italian Economy
Authors: Xiong Zhenyi
Published: November 2022

Over the last three decades, Italy's GDP growth has seen generally seen stagnation. In the European Union, Italy's economic development rate is among the poorer levels and is internationally recognized as a country not suitable for investment. This has directly led to a decline in Italy's international voice. When it comes to the causes of Italy's economic development stagnation, the North-South gap within Italy is one of the important reasons, which is manifested in the excessive difference between the GDP per capita of the South and the North within Italy. For a long time, the north and the south of Italy have developed differently, including the different distribution of economic pillars (this paper focuses on agriculture, industry, and tourism), the different employment patterns of workers, and the different motivations of people to engage in economic development. These differences have led to an extreme imbalance in the economic development of the north and south of Italy, especially in the south, where the level of development is lower than that of the north. Such an imbalance in economic development is undoubtedly detrimental to the overall economic development of Italy. The comparison with Germany and Spain leads to the conclusion that Italy needs to reduce the gap between the North and South of the country by improving the quality of workers, introducing advanced technologies and regulating the employment system of immigrants.

Animal toxins have shown applicability in treatments of various diseases, here some investigations of scorpion and spider venom peptides as cancer treatments have been presented. Scorpion peptides are believed to have antitumor and analgesic effects and may present the potential to be applied in human medicine as a drug for cancer. Similarly, some spider peptides either directly or indirectly are also proved to regulate tumour cell growth and death. Mechanism involved includes promoting cell apoptosis to prevent translocation of cancer cells thus control tumour growth. Such effects make these peptides promising drug candidates for cancer treatment.  All five of scorpion venom peptide drugs being approved by FDA for clinical treatment, from which remarkable treating outcomes have been observed when treating cancers. In this paper, general aspects of different scorpion venoms as well as their anticancer mechanism have been thoroughly analysed, from which the successful application of Buthus martensii Karsch analgesic peptide in treating carcinoma was elected as the representative case.

Seasonal occurrence and population fluctuation of Eriophyes prosopidis Saxena, a leaf and inflorescence gall mite of Prosopis cineraria (Khejri) in Rajasthan
Authors: Kumar Shivesh , Ahmed S.
Published: November 2022

Seasonal variation in the population of Eriophyes prosopidis Saxena was studied in a young and mature tree stand of P. cineraria in the experimental field during 1999-2000. Minimum percentage infestation (from 6.25 to 8.3%) of gall bearing leaves in mature trees ranged in June whereas maximum percentage ranged from 33.8 to 53.8% during the month of September. Seasonal occurrence and population level of E. prosopidis in young trees revealed that total number of mites and their eggs within galls of these leaflets showed a greater variation in different months. The number of mites in young trees remained fairly high during the period from July to November. The average number of mites during this period was 164.5 mites per ten leaflets with a range from 59.5 to 187.0 mites per ten leaflets. The minimum number of mites (43/ten leaflets) was observed in the first week of May whereas the maximum number of mites (280/ten leaflets) was recorded in the last week of October. In case of both young and mature trees, the minimum and maximum activity of E. prosopidis and its eggs per gall was observed in May and November respectively. Leaf area index had a positive impact on the number of galls on young as well as on mature trees. Similarly, number of galls had a positive correlation on the number of mites and number of eggs on young and mature trees, which in its own turn influenced the number of mites and ultimately the number of eggs within the gall.

A field experiment was conducted at the experimental field of the Department of Horticulture in Sylhet Agricultural University to evaluate the growth and yield performance of three okra genotypes (viz. BARI Dherosh-1, BARI Dherosh-2 & RAJ F1) under special management practices (viz. de-topping & non de-topping) from March to July 2022. The two factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. BARI Dherosh-1 showed vigorous growth nature having maximum yield and yield contributing characters viz. the highest plant height (20.46 cm) at 30 DAS (Days After Sowing) and at 1st harvest (108.23 cm ), early flowering (51.33 days), the maximum number of leaves per plant (4.71), number of branches (2.96), number of pods per plant (43.80), the highest individual pod weight (20.96 g), pod yield per plant (916.75 g) as well as per hectare yield (30.53 t) than the other two genotypes. Contrary, the lowest individual pod weight (18.80 g), pod yield per plant (638.72 g), and per hectare yield (21.28 t) were produced by genotype RAJ F1. Due to removing apical parts at 30 DAS, the shortest plants were observed in the de-topping system (85.69 cm). Again, Individual pod weight (20.87 g), pod yield per plant (887.95 g), and per hectare yield (29.57 t) were higher in non de-topping system than the de-topping system. Considering the interaction effect, BARI Dherosh-2 performed better under non de-topping system having the highest pod breadth (2.05 cm) and pod yield per plant (1007.86 g) and per hectare yield (33.56 t). Actually, de-topping at 30 DAS had no beneficial effect on yield or yield contributing characters. So, BARI Dherosh-2 might be recommended for the Sylhet region to ensure maximum benefit without de-topping.
Generalized tympanism in a horse and its possible association with Sarcina-like microorganism: A case report
Authors: Bass Laura , lvarez Paula , Dittel Juan , Herrera Fernando , Flores Paula , s Diego , Olivares Roberto
Published: November 2022

Background: Sarcina spp is a Gram-positive, coccoid microorganism which forms tetrads or octets, and is observed with a characteristic "bundle" arrangement. The most recognized species are Sarcina ventriculi and Sarcina maxima. It has been described as part of the normal microbiota in horses and cats, but it has also been linked to abomasal bloat in goats, lambs, and calves, although its causality has not been proven yet.
Case description: This work presents the case of a 3-months-old female horse which died of generalized tympanism. Macroscopic findings showed mild cyanosis and abundant gas in the lumen of the stomach, small and large bowel. Microscopically, high numbers of Gram-positive microorganisms compatible with Sarcina spp. in the gastric lumen and on the surface of the small and large bowel were observed, along with mild inflammation.
Conclusion: The severe tympanism was the only relevant lesion observed and could explain the death of the animal. Although it is not possible to determine a relationship between these lesions and Sarcina spp, it is interesting to highlight that the high amount of these bacteria could be associated with gas production and tympanism. It is important to continue investigating the role of Sarcina spp. in horses, and its possible link with tympanism.

Published: November 2022

Background: glaucoma is a painful and blinding condition that occurs in many species, including rabbits. When medication is no longer effective in maintaining the intraocular pressure, enucleation is the recognised treatment for rabbits with end stage glaucoma. However, this procedure carries risks relating to the procedure and the anaesthesia.

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to report the efficacy of intravitreal gentamicin injection in controlling intraocular pressure in blind eyes of rabbits with end-stage glaucoma. Ocular and nonocular complications were retrospectively assessed.

Methods: Medical record review was performed to identify five client-owned rabbits (eight eyes) that were treated by intravitreal injection of 6-20 mg of gentamicin per eye (median 7.18 mg/kg) for chronic, end-stage glaucoma. Treatment was unilateral in two and bilateral in three rabbits. Intraocular pressure control was assessed via rebound tonometry readings performed approximately two weeks, one month, three months and six months after injection. Total follow up was between 313-1111 days. Ocular complications were recorded and systemic health was estimated by the owner-answered questionnaire and changes in body weight.

Results: Intraocular pressure was <25mmHg in 87.5% of eyes three months post injection. The most common ocular complications were cataracts (62.5%), anterior uveitis (25%), retinal detachment (12.5%) and corneal erosion (12.5%). There were no behavioral or body weight changes suggestive of systemic complications.

Conclusion: 87.5% of rabbit eyes treated with intravitreal gentamicin had controlled intraocular pressure three months after injection. All eyes were blind at the time of injection. Ocular side-effects were common. Investigation of safety and systemic effects of intravitreal gentamicin injection is required, however no overt complications were identified in treated rabbits in this study.

The role of social media such as Twitter can be a means of public space to provide criticism of political activities so that political issues on Twitter have a significant impact on how the public perceives political developments in government. This study aims to find out the most influential people or Twitter accounts in the process of forming public opinion. And to identify the communication network that exists between opinion leaders through accounts on social media Twitter regarding the issue of the 100 days of the performance of the Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin Government. This study uses exploratory research methods with the help of Big Data analysis. This study wants to show that there is a communication network between opinion leaders that is formed so that it can influence the process of forming public opinion. Based on the research results, the communication network between opinion leaders is divided into two, namely the coalition camp and the opposition camp. The coalition and opposition camps have a close or distance relationship that is intertwined based on the political background of each actor. As well as analysis of conversations on Twitter, it shows that 100 days of Jokowi's performance has reaped many pros and cons, both opinion leaders and public opinion
