“Beware the Snufflebust, My Son!”: Clough Williams-Ellis in New Zealand, 1947-1948
Authors: Skinner Robin
Published: July 2023

On a journey to see their New Zealand-based scientist daughter, Dr Charlotte Wallace (1919–2010), Clough Williams-Ellis (1883–1978) and Amabel Williams- Ellis (1894–1984) were initially reticent about their perceptions on New Zealand; however, this was not to last. During their visit, the Williams-Ellises travelled extensively and gave interviews. Speaking to a meeting of the New Zealand Institute Architects in Wellington, Clough was critical of the government’s state housing scheme, declaring that the houses were “just little bursts of sound, whereas they could have been linked up to make a tune.” Presumably, he was criticising the regularity of the suburban rhythm with its solitary houses siting on individual sites and a material palette that included the houses’ ubiquitous concrete tile roofs. The Assistant Director of Housing, Reginald Hammond, and the Minister of Housing, Robert Semple, were swift to react, with the minister declaring Williams-Ellis to be a “snivelling snufflebuster.” Others leapt to Williams-Ellis’ defence. The exchange was reported throughout Australasia. This paper discusses response to Williams-Ellis’ criticism in a locale where architectural visitors were rare, and where criticism from the home country was rarely welcome.

Authors: Acosta Nuñez Christopher Hilario , Reyes Rosero Estefanía Aracelly
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Peyronie disease (PD) is an inflammatory and fibrotic disorder affecting the tunica albuginea of the penis that obeys a multifactorial approach. It is characterized by the formation of a plaque of fibrous tissue that produces an angular deformation of the penis, resulting in erectile dysfunction and psychosexual problems in the patient. Intralesional therapy was an option for a long time without convincing results until the implementation of Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (CCH). Objective: to describe the clinical and psychological results of intralesional intervention with Clostridium histolyticum collagenase in the treatment of PD. Methods: We performed a literature search of updated information in the PubMed database using terms such as Peyronie's disease, penile fibromatosis, and collagenase clostridium histolyticum.  Results: 15 investigations were obtained from 2018 to 2023, with a total of 2,844 patients, in all studies improvements in penile correction were reported, in 9 studies reported satisfactory results in IIEF-15 and PDQ, just as the results were influenced by individual characteristics, as well as the modification of the therapeutic protocol or aggregation of adjuvant therapies.  Conclusions: intralesional therapy with CCH has been shown to be effective with and without the use of concomitant therapies in correcting penile curvature and decreasing psychosexual symptoms in PD from the first therapeutic cycle, as well as in atypical cases, acute stage, and in patients who reported calcification

Authors: Dastjerdi Reza , Mozaffari Sara , Moodi Ghalibaf AmirAli , Mohammadi Yahya
Published: July 2023

Background: Clinical education is known as an essential part of education in medicine and medical education. Beyond factors that can affect the quality of clinical education, academic satisfaction is a factor that can either affect or is affected by the quality of clinical education. Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between the quality of clinical education and academic satisfaction through medical students’ viewpoints at Birjand University of Medical Science, Birjand, Iran. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, medical students in both the externship and internship courses of Birjand University of Medical Sciences were evaluated with a self-report questionnaire. The quality of clinical education was assessed by a specific scale developed by Rezaei. Academic satisfaction was evaluated by Motlagh et al.’s questionnaire. Results: A total of 180 medical students were included in the study. The findings indicated that despite the poor quality of clinical education from the perspective of the studied medical students (P = 0.017), their academic satisfaction with the current situation was acceptable (P = 0.0001). Further correlational analysis revealed a significant relationship between the quality of clinical education and its subgroups with academic satisfaction (P < 0.01). Conclusions: It can be concluded that higher clinical education quality leads to higher levels of academic satisfaction among medical students. Therefore, this issue requires continuous revisions of the clinical education curriculum and adherence to improve its outcomes.

Published: July 2023

Background: Emergency medical professionals are often associated with poor psychological health, which undoubtedly affects their mental health as well as their work productivity. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms among emergency ambulance workers in Kelantan hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 143 emergency medical services (EMS) ambulance workers working at ten government hospitals in Kelantan. Assistant medical officers and nurses were also included in the study, while the respondents who had psychological problems before the study were excluded. Sociodemographic data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. In contrast, the English version of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale Version 21 (DASS-21) was used to assess the extent of depression, anxiety, and stress. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors that predict depression, anxiety, and stress among ambulance workers. Results: The respondents ranged from 23 to 59 years old, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 38.27 (7.27). Half of the respondents were in the age group of 30 to 39 years (51.0%). Male workers numbered 91 (63.6%), and female workers numbered 52 (36.4%). The majority of respondents were married individuals (92.3%), non-smokers (79.0%), and had worked for more than ten years (37.7%). More than ten years of service in EMS was identified as a predictor for depression, anxiety, and stress; low back pain was identified as a predictor for anxiety, and female gender was identified as a predictor for stress. Conclusions: The hospital should pay more attention to the sources of depression, anxiety, and stress experienced by ambulance staff, which must be addressed appropriately.
Literární směry v slovanských literaturách a jedna případová studie : (utváření naturalismu v ruské literatuře)
Authors: Pospíšil Ivo
Published: July 2023

Autor se ve svém příspěvku jako úvodu k tematickému souboru studí Slovanské literatury – Dějiny a teorie (koncepce, periodizace, syntéza) zabývá specifickými rysy paradigmatu a trajektorie literárních směrů v slovanských literaturách a na jejich pozadí utvářením a podobami naturalismu nebo poetik jemu blízkých nebo se s ním prolínajících v slovanských literaturách, a zvláště v ruské literatuře 19. a první poloviny 20. století. Ukazuje na etymologii termínu a jeho různé vývojové etapy i na to, kterak různě se v rámci národních literatur identifikují všeliké světové literární směry, jež se někde ani nepojmenovávají nebo se subsumují pod jiné jevy nebo "nálepky" (labels); jinak řečeno: každá národní literatura má svoje vlastní evoluční paradigma, které se jen zčásti podobá paradigmatům jiných národních literatur. Naturalismus prochází jako spodní proud světovou literaturou a v Rusku hraje centrální roli ve vývoji realismu v širokém slova smyslu: není tedy jen finální fází realismu a úvodem k moderně, ale integrální součástí realismu jako literárního směru, jeho vnitřní podstatou a stínovým průvodcem jeho evolucí.

Authors: Raihan Asif
Published: July 2023

The objective of this research is to investigate, using time series data ranging from 1992 to 2021, the effects of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth (GDP) in India. The stationarity of the data was examined by employing unit root tests, and an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique was used to investigate the link between the factors, taking both the long- and the short-run into consideration. According to the findings, an increase of one percent in both ICT and FDI will result in an increase of 0.56% and 0.71% in GDP over the long term, in addition to an increase of 0.11% and 0.29% over the short term. The findings of the investigation are of particular significance to policymakers because they can be utilized to establish sensible policymaking for long-term economic success, in addition to advancing the ICT sector and boosting FDI.
2001-2022 Döneminde Türkiye’de Yapılan Resmi Evliliklere Coğrafi Bir Bakış
Authors: ŞAHBAZ Hüseyin
Published: July 2023

2001-2022 döneminde Türkiye’deki resmi evlilikleri, coğrafi açıdan incelemeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular şunlardır: Belirtilen dönemde ülkenin kaba evlenme hızı genel olarak azalmıştır. Bu azalma sürecinde de derin düşüşlerin yaşandığı 3 dönem bulunmaktadır. Bu dönemlerden ikisi, ülkede ekonomik krizlerin, üçüncüsü ise Covid-19 pandemisi ile ekonomik krizin birlikte yaşandığı bir zaman dilimine tekabül etmiştir. Dolayısıyla ekonomik krizlerin yaşandığı dönemlerde Türkiye’de evlenme oranlarının önemli ölçüde düştüğünü söylemek mümkündür. Zira böyle dönemlerde TL hızla değer kaybederken düğünlerin vazgeçilmez takısı olan altının ve dövize endeksli olarak fiyatları belirlenen mobilya ve beyaz eşyanın ederinde görülen aşırı artışlar, kazancı TL olan vatandaşların evlilik hayallerini olumsuz bir şekilde etkilemektedir. Yine bununla ilişkili olarak ülkede ilk evlenme yaşının yüksek olduğu illerin ortak sorunları arasında, hayat pahalılığı ve geçim zorluğu bulunmaktadır. Bunda söz konusu illerin; çevresinden, ülke genelinden ya da yabancı ülkelerden; göç almasının önemli bir etkisi vardır. Nitekim bu şekilde göçe maruz kalan illerde, oluşan talebe bağlı olarak, kiralık ya da satılık ev fiyatlarının yanı sıra işsizlik oranları da artmakta ve bu da ilk evlenme yaşının yükselmesine sebep olmaktadır.
Bağırsak Mikrobiyotası ve Tip 2 Diyabetes Mellitus
Authors: Özsaç Gülseren , Özpak Akkuş Özlem
Published: July 2023

Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus'un dünya çapındaki prevalansı sürekli olarak artmakta ve halk sağlığı için önemli bir endişe haline gelmektedir. Genetik faktörlerin yanı sıra yaşam tarzı, yüksek enerji ve düşük lifli besinlerin tüketiminin artması ve bağırsak mikrobiyotası gibi birçok faktörün tip 2 diyabete yol açabileceği savunulmaktadır. Son zamanlarda yapılan bazı araştırmalar, bağırsak mikrobiyotasının bileşiminin tip 2 diyabeti tetikleyebileceğini öne sürmektedir. Bağırsak mikrobiyotasındaki değişiklikler bağırsak geçirgenliğinin bozulmasına ve proinflamatuar sitokinlerin salınmasına neden olarak insülin direncine katkıda bulunan metabolik düzenleme sistemleri üzerinde sinerjistik olarak hareket eden kısa zincirli yağ asitlerinin, safra asitlerinin ve diğer metabolitlerin metabolizmasını modüle edebilmektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan kısıtlı sayıdaki çalışmalarda bağırsakta homeostazı sağlayan müdahalelerin insülin sekresyon ve duyarlılığı üzerine yararlı etkilerinin olduğu ve glisemik kontrolü iyileştirdiği görülmektedir. İlerleyen yıllarda yapılacak olan çalışmalarda bağırsak mikrobiyotasının modüle ettiği spesifik yolakları tanımlamak ve tip 2 diyabetin yönetim stratejisinde yeni potansiyel hedeflerini belirlemek için olası patofizyolojik mekanizmalar klinik çalışmalarda daha ayrıntılı olarak incelenmelidir.

African American English has accents too
Authors: Grieve-Smith Angus
Published: July 2023

Diversity is notoriously subjective and difficult to pin down. In particular, we tend be impressed if we know the names of a lot of categories for something. We might think there are more mammal species than insect species, but biologists tell us that there are hundreds of thousands of species of beetles alone. This is true in language as well: we think of the closely-related Romance and Germanic languages as separate, while missing the incredible diversity of “dialects” of Chinese or...

Anesthesia care provider sedation versus conscious sedation for endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Shaha Sneha , Gao Yinglin , Peng Jiahao , Che Kendrick , Kim John J. , Skef Wasseem
Published: July 2023

Background/Aims: We aimed to study the effects of sedation on endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition.Methods: We conducted a retrospective study evaluating the role of sedation in endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition by comparing two groups: anesthesia care provider (ACP) sedation and endoscopist-directed conscious sedation (CS).Results: Technical success was achieved in 219/233 (94.0%) in the ACP group and 114/136 (83.8%) in the CS group (p=0.0086). In multivariate analysis, the difference in technical success between the two groups was not significant (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.234–1.069; p=0.0738). A successful diagnostic yield was present in 146/196 (74.5%) in the ACP group and 66/106 (62.3%) in the CS group, respectively (p=0.0274). In multivariate analysis, the difference in diagnostic yield between the two groups was not significant (aOR, 0.643; 95% CI, 0.356–1.159; p=0.142). A total of 33 adverse events (AEs) were observed. The incidence of AEs was significantly lower in the CS group (5/33 CS vs. 28/33 ACP; OR, 0.281; 95% CI, 0.095–0.833; p=0.022).Conclusions: CS provided equivalent technical success and diagnostic yield for malignancy in endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition. Increased AEs were associated with anesthesia for the endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition.

Published: July 2023

Background/Aims: Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastrojejunostomy is a minimally invasive method for the management of gastric outlet obstruction. Conventionally, a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is used to create an anastomosis. However, LAMS is expensive and not widely available. In this report, we described a tubular fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (T-FCSEMS) for this purpose.Methods: Twenty-one patients (15 men [71.4%]; median age, 66 years; range, 40–87 years) were included in this study. A total of 19 malignant (12 pancreatic, 6 gastric, and 1 metastatic rectal cancer) and 2 benign cases were observed. The proximal jejunum was punctured with a 19 G needle. The stomach and jejunum walls were dilated with a 6 F cystotome, and a 20×80 mm polytetrafluoroethylene T-FCSEMS (Hilzo) was deployed. Oral feeding was initiated after 12 to 18 hours and solid foods after 48 hours.Results: The median procedure time was 33 minutes (range, 23–55 minutes). After two weeks, 19 patients tolerated oral feeding. In patients with malignancy, the median survival time was 118 days (range, 41–194 days). No serious complications or deaths occurred. All patients with malignancy tolerated oral food intake until they expired.Conclusions: T-FCSEMS is safe and effective. This stent should be considered as an alternative to LAMS for gastric outlet obstruction.

Published: July 2023

Engineering graduates in India belong to different fields of specialization. The prerequisites of the professions and the specificity of language functions required for a study of English offered at Engineering Colleges. The students who join professional courses like Engineering, half of the students come from Non-English medium Instruction. Careful analyses of these students’ performance by diagnosing the areas of difficulty will help to plan and design a remedial course to teach the basics to communication skills in order to enhance and present according to their contexts and their academics. The engineering colleges in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have become mushrooms without maintaining any quality which should be suited to the industry requirement. The intention in preparing the paper is to point out what is lacking in engineering students and they are suited to the industry, their weaknesses, stumbling blocks, and measure to improve by suggesting with a remedial course in order to implement in engineering studies at the beginning of their courses.

Nasikh dan Mansukh dalam Al-Qur’an
Authors: Hazyimara Karunia
Published: July 2023

The Qur'an as a guide of Muslims has a fairly high concern by scholars. There are views that some verses in the Qur'an are contradictory, so that this leads to the study of nasikh-mansukh. The study is not necessarily accepted by all scholars or observers of Qur'anic science, because according to them there can be no revision in the Qur'an. This research tries to discuss nasikh-mansukh studies both related to understanding, differences of opinion, orientalist views to the wisdom of studying them using qualitative methods from library data. This study found that differences of opinion in the scholarly environment occurred due to differences in the roots of their studies. With the nasikh-mansukh theory one can understand why there are verses that textually seem contradictory.
