Objective: To report a case of trigeminal neuralgia observed in a 52-year-old patient who had pre-diabetes and hypertension, fibromyalgia as previous comorbidities, and a surgical history of carpal tunnel syndrome correction. Case details: On September 30, 2022, the patient reported intense right-sided unilateral headache. The patient was on Metformin, Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and Losartan. For the treatment of possible trigeminal neuralgia, Carbamazepine was initially prescribed at a dose of 200 mg every 12 hours and later adjusted to 200 mg every 8 hours. It was found that the dose of 600 mg per day of Carbamazepine was more effective in relieving the intensity of the pain and improving the patient's mood. Additionally, the patient underwent a magnetic resonance imaging which revealed the presence of vascular branches near the cisternal portion of the bilateral trigeminal nerve, more evident on the right side, without compression. Finally, it is worth noting that adjustments were made to the anti-hypertensive medications. Final Considerations: Trigeminal neuralgia presents a significant pain component for the patient, with a compromise to their quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis coupled with the introduction of medication in an adjusted dose becomes essential.

Published: November 2023

Objectives

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the role of Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values as a predictor of histologic grade and molecular subtype of breast malignancy and to evaluate the correlation of grade of malignancy with background parenchymal uptake, background parenchymal enhancement and fibroglandular tissue of the contralateral normal breast

Material and Methods

53 patients with unilateral breast cancer were included in the study. Images from Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) were analyzed measuring maximum SUV and background SUV from the contralateral normal breast by placing a single Region of interest (ROI). From Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) images ADC values were calculated with b value 0–1200 s/mm2 and single ROI placed in an area corresponding to the ROI placed to obtain maximum SUV of the mass. Type of fibroglandular tissue and background parenchymal enhancement was categorized based on Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS)–lexicon on T1 weighted and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) images respectively. Necrotic and hemorrhagic areas within the mass were excluded in both positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) while calculating SUV and ADC.

Results

A positive correlation was found between grade and Mean SUVmax with higher values in grade 3 malignancy (11.41 ± 4.76) (p-value – 0.003). Statistically significant variation in SUVmax was seen among estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR) status with low values in ER/PR positive tumors (p-value < 0.05). There was significant correlation between the molecular subtypes with higher SUVmax in triple-negative tumors (12.27 ± 4.22) (p-value – 0.02). Significant variation in ADC values among different molecular subtypes was seen with higher values in human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-Enriched tumors (1.032 ± 0.25) and low values in luminal A subtype (0.798 ± 0.13).

Conclusion

Therefore, PET-CT and MRI can be used as a complementary imaging tool in assessing the aggressiveness and biological characteristics of tumors.

Published: November 2023

Background:

Over the past decade, neurosurgical interventions have experienced changes in operative frequency and postoperative length of stay (LOS), with the recent COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacting these metrics. Evaluating these trends in a tertiary National Health Service center provides insights into the impact of surgical practices and health policy on LOS and is essential for optimizing healthcare management decisions.

Methods:

This was a single tertiary center retrospective case series analysis of neurosurgical procedures from 2012 to 2022. Factors including procedure type, admission urgency, and LOS were extracted from a prospectively maintained database. Six subspecialties were analyzed: Spine, Neuro-oncology, Skull base (SB), Functional, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and Peripheral nerve (PN). Mann-Kendall temporal trend test and exploratory data analysis were performed.

Results:

19,237 elective and day case operations were analyzed. Of the 6 sub-specialties, spine, neuro-oncology, SB, and CSF procedures all showed a significant trend toward decreasing frequency. A shift toward day case over elective procedures was evident, especially in spine (P < 0.001), SB (tau = 0.733, P = 0.0042), functional (tau = 0.156, P = 0.0016), and PN surgeries (P < 0.005). Over the last decade, decreasing LOS was observed for neuro-oncology (tau = −0.648, P = 0.0077), SB (tau = −0.382, P = 0.012), and functional operations, a trend which remained consistent during the COVID-19 pandemic (P = 0.01). Spine remained constant across the decade while PN demonstrated a trend toward increasing LOS.

Conclusion:

Most subspecialties demonstrate a decreasing LOS coupled with a shift toward day case procedures, potentially attributable to improvements in surgical techniques, less invasive approaches, and increased pressure on beds. Setting up extra dedicated day case theaters could help deal with the backlog of procedures, particularly with regard to the impact of COVID-19.

Published: November 2023

Environmental ethics is human-wise behavior related to all components of the environment. Environmental ethics talks about human behavior towards nature and the view of the universe, including nature, humans, and other living things. A moral view is needed to know the relevance of the theory of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism. Students must know which theories can benefit human life and how to maintain a balance between nature and humans. Belief in the theory will bring up pros and cons; therefore, the relevance that can be found from the two theories is education that understands environmental ethics as a balance. Relevance gained trust in these two theories will bring up pros and cons. We found out students in Indonesia had their main critizism towards each philosophical thought. We also found that the emerging technology and modernisation has been an issue on the debate. A better environmental ethics understanding would serve a better goal of balancing both view of  anthropocentrism and ecocentrism

Word number, level, and frequency in current English course books: Corpus study
Authors: Nurweni Ari , Komariah Endang
Published: November 2023

Introducing the right English words in an adequate number and levels to beginner EFL learners is of paramount importance to enable them to communicate and develop their English further. This corpus study is meant to investigate the number and levels of English words, and their frequency of occurrences in a set of three official English course books for Indonesian junior high school students of the seventh to ninth grades, published by The Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Education. The study was conducted by converting each of the three English books into MS Word documents, eliminating the non-English and very common loanwords, saving each course book in plain text, and processing the plain text using a word frequency analysis program. The results show the English course books contain (1) a sufficient number of English words for comprehension of simplified pictured texts but not for authentic texts, (2) the high-frequency words that belong to the first, second thousand, and academic words, each of which is in an inadequate number, and (3) the frequency of word occurrences in the three books that is unlikely to lead to incidental word learning if no further efforts are made by the students and teachers.

Published: November 2023

Although the Extensive Reading (ER) program has multiple benefits for language learners, the long nature of this program can make it daunting, especially for those with limited book selection.  Thus, ensuring a book collection that fits the learners’ preferences is crucial, not only to maintain their reading enjoyment during the program but also to save costs. This research then investigated learners' reading preferences during an ER program, particularly by looking at the reading genres that were frequently chosen by the learners. This research was conducted on 30 university students who took English as a mandatory course. The course used ER as part of the curriculum. This research recorded the learners’ reading preferences through a reading log. This log must be filled in after reading a book or text. Overall, the research generated 373 entries. The results of this research indicated participants’ high interest in books with the themes of drama (slice of life), tales, and comedy. The current research also discovered a preference difference between gender. In conclusion, this research believes ER practitioners must consider learners’ preferences to provide suitable book collections for students. Thus, the learners can read more comfortably and maintain their motivation.
Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation for Analyte Enrichment in Coacervates for Ultra-Sensitive Biosensing

Published: November 2023

Efficient isolation and concentration of biomolecules are foundational for rapid diagnostics. Traditional methods, often reliant on solid surfaces, necessitate complex and labor-intensive procedures. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) systems emerged as promising due to their ability to extract biomolecules via the partition effect. Inspired by the biomolecular compartmentalization observed in cellular organelles, we form coacervates via associative LLPS for concentrating a diverse range of biomolecules, significantly enhancing sensitivity and lowering detection limits of biomolecules by condensing biomolecules in compartments. We demonstrate that under optimal conditions these coacervates can achieve an enrichment factor of up to 22.8 for DNA, surpassing the efficiency of segregative LLPS. This results in significantly enhanced sensitivity for DNA detection. Through fluorescence microscopy, microplate readers, and flow cytometry, we establish that coacervate droplets are approximately 21 times more effective in reducing the limit of detection (LOD) for DNA compared to segregative LLPS droplets. The superior performance of coacervates is attributed to non-covalent interactions between DNA and molecules within coacervates, enabling ultra-sensitive quantification without the need for complex instrumentation or signal amplification. By creating distinct compartments for biomolecule condensation, our approach not only simplifies the detection process but also significantly lowers detection thresholds, paving the way for more accessible and rapid diagnostic methods.
A Quantitative Measurement Technique for Anodic Corrosion of BDD Advanced Oxidation Electrodes
Authors: Tully Joshua , Houghton Daniel , Breeze Ben , Mollart Tim , Macpherson Julie
Published: November 2023

Electrochemical advanced oxidation (EAO) systems are of significant interest due to their ability to treat a wide range of organic contaminants in water. Despite their popularity, all studies to date that examine anodic corrosion of BDD electrodes are qualitative, using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy. In this work we present a new method to quantify anodic corrosion and determine average corrosion rates as a function of solution composition, current density and BDD material. The method uses white light interferometry (WLI), in conjunction with BDD electrodes integrated into 3D-printed flow cells, to measure three-dimensional changes in surface structure pre- and post-anodic corrosion over a 72-hr period. It is equally applicable to both thin film BDD and much thicker, freestanding BDD. As WLI lends itself to large area measurements, data are collected over geometric areas of 0.5 cm2. In particular it is shown that the addition of 1 M acetic acid to a 0.5 M potassium sulfate solution results in an increase in the average corrosion rate of ~×60 (for freestanding polished BDD). In the same solution, thin film BDD is found to corrode ~×2 faster than freestanding polished BDD. This methodology also represents an important step forward for the prediction of BDD electrode lifetimes in a laboratory setting for a wide range of EAO applications.

The study aims to assess the current prescribing patterns for drugs managing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) at the designated site to promote rational drug use in a specialized population. Conducted in the Medicine ward over six months, this observational retrospective study focused on patients consulting cardiologists for cardiac issues. Among lipid-lowering agents, rosuvastatin was the most prescribed (52.84%), followed by atorvastatin (43.15%). Anti-hypertensive agents were widely used, with beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and diuretics being popular choices. Adrenergic receptor blockers were common for hypertension, with metoprolol (55.7%) and bisoprolol (10.8%) frequently prescribed. ACE inhibitors, particularly Enalapril (65.6%), dominated prescriptions. Diuretics, including eplerenone (37.2%) and furosemide (33.3%), ranked third. The majority of patients were male, potentially linked to smoking and alcohol habits. Analysis revealed the prevalence of statins and anti-atherogenic agents in cardiovascular prescriptions. Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and diuretics were prominent in managing hypertension.Top of Form
Cytotoxicity of Anagallis arvensis L. Extracts: Implications for Traditional Healing
Authors: Nithyakalyani K  , Voleti Vijayakumar  , Nandhini M  , Harini R R  , Pavitra J
Published: November 2023

Anagallis arvensis L. comprises two species, specifically Anagallis foemina Mill. For centuries, the Navarra region in Spain has employed primulaceae as traditional wound healing remedies. Previous studies have established the antimicrobial and COX-inhibitory properties of this species. However, despite the known cytotoxic effects at high doses or with prolonged oral administration, there is a lack of definitive research to establish their toxicity. In this study, cytotoxicity was assessed using spectrophotometric methods, including the MTT and LDH assays, on PC12 and DHD/K12PROb cells. Notably, DHD/K12PROb cells exhibited heightened sensitivity to the extracts compared to PC12 cells, resulting in reduced cell survival and increased cell damage (LDH release). Significant reductions in cell survival were observed with methanol extracts exceeding 80 mg/ml. These findings suggest that the reported toxic effects in traditional medicine may be attributed to the cytotoxic nature of these plants.
Pharmacognosy, Phytochemical and Pharmacological Potential of Sacostemma acidum Voigt
Authors: Tripathy Pravanjan Kumar , Mishra Manas Ranjan
Published: November 2023

Sarcostemma acidum Voigt, commonly known as Somlata, belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is a leafless plant with significant traditional medicinal use. Found mainly in Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and South India, it thrives in dry rocky areas. The shrub, characterized by numerous branches and an absence of leaves, features green, cylindrical stems ranging from 2 to 4 meters in length and 0.5 cm to 1 cm in diameter. The plant's leaves, though present in opposite positions, are reduced to scales, rendering it leafless. The flowers are actinomorphic, displaying a light yellow or white hue. Microscopic analysis of the stem of Sarcostemma acidum reveals three primary components: the outer epidermis layer, cortex, and vascular bundles. The outermost epidermis consists of a single layer of cells, and the cortex comprises collenchyma and parenchymal cells. The aqueous extract of S. acidum contains a diverse array of compounds, including carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, proteins, free amino acids, steroids, triterpenoids, fixed oils, fats, mucilage, gums, and waxes. Different parts of S. acidum are utilized for various purposes, such as a natural restorative for health, ear drops in otitis, and application on wounds and cuts. The stem extract exhibits antipsychotic effects and inhibits spermatogenesis. Recent studies also highlight its analgesic, antipyretic, and antidiabetic properties. This plant holds promise for further research in isolating active constituents with therapeutic effects.
On the Question of the Adoption of the Epiclesis ‘Euergetes’ by Ptolemy III
Authors: Zelinskyi Andrii
Published: November 2023

In 2020, I published the monograph From Basileis-Pharaohs to Pharaohs-Basileis: The First 100 Years of the Ptolemaic Monarchy. In that book, I proposed to move the date of the famine that occurred during the reign of Ptolemy III from 245/244 BC to the period between 243 and 238 BC, drawing on the evidence of the Alexandrian ‘synodal’ decree of 3 December 243 BC. If my hypothesis is correct, it becomes necessary to reconsider the background of Ptolemy’s adoption of the Greek form of the sacred epiclesis ‘Euergetes’ (Benefactor), which earlier I associated with the help that the population of Egypt received from the king during that famine. In modern historiography, there are a number of alternative suggestions regarding the prior actions of Ptolemy III, supposedly consistent with the Hellenistic ideas about euergetism. Among them are the victorious end of the Asian military campaign (246–245 BC); suppression of unrest in Egypt; return to Egypt of the statues of local gods and cult objects that had been removed by the Persian conquerors; and deeds for the benefit of Egyptian temples and sacred animals. But these actions of Ptolemy III either did not meet the definition of a ‘beneficent act’ or concerned only ethnic Egyptians. Traces of the Greek semantic content of the epiclesis ‘Euergetes’ should be sought in the Alexandrian ‘synodal’ decree produced by the Egyptian priesthood. It contains a list of the king’s merciful acts during the first years of his reign, including the easing of fiscal policy and proclamation of a mass amnesty. Such actions were understood as euergetism in the Egyptian and Greek (especially Hellenistic) traditions. Either of them could become the reason for the official deification of the Hellenistic ruler. Responding with an apotheosis to a large-scale act of economic euergetism became everyday reality in the Hellenistic world. Amnesty for prisoners also directly brought the benefactor closer to the Olympian gods, led by Zeus himself.
The Activities of Johannes Bugenhagen during the 1530s to 1550s: The Unity of Theory and Practice in Lutheran Confessionalization
Authors: Karikov Serhiy
Published: November 2023

The article considers the activities of the prominent Lutheran reformer Johannes Bugenhagen (1485–1556) in the period from the 1530s to 1550s. The principal approaches to the reformer’s legacy in the historiography of the 19th to early 21st centuries are summarized. The main directions of Bugenhagen’s pursuits in the ecclesiastical, theological, political, and organizational spheres are analyzed. The article shows that Bugenhagen played a key role in the drafting and promulgation of a number of evangelical church statutes. It is noted that the church statute model developed by Bugenhagen for Brunswick, Hamburg, and Lübeck was widely adopted across many evangelical territories in Germany and abroad; in particular, attention is given to Bugenhagen’s reform work in Denmark. It is argued that Bugenhagen’s revision of church law along Reformation principles was associated with changes in other branches of law. It is emphasized that after the Schmalkaldic War of 1546– 1547 Bugenhagen remained one of the leaders of the evangelical forces and continued his reform work in the church and the University of Wittenberg. In the 1550s, he actively collaborated with such representatives of the ‘second generation’ of Lutheran supporters as Paul Eber, Martin Chemnitz, Andreas Wolf, and David Hitrois, as shown in his correspondence. The article analyzes Bugenhagen’s approach to theological problems, which was determined by the desire to affirm the ideas of Lutheranism in all aspects of church life; in particular, the reformer’s work in the last years of his life is considered. The author concludes that Johannes Bugenhagen achieved marked success in a number of spheres, combining theory and practice in dealing with the most important theological, political, and organizational issues of the day. The reformer’s principal achievements in the period from the 1530s to 1550s were the creation of a number of evangelical statutes, further development of the Lutheran dogma, and participation in the overhaul of university education. His active and varied pursuits strengthened Wittenberg’s connections with other centers of the evangelical movement, thus facilitating the spread of Lutheran confessionalization in Germany and other countries.

Structural Response Analysis for Multi-Linked Floating Offshore Structure Based on Fluid–Structure Coupled Analysis
Authors: Sim Kichan , Lee Kangsu , Kim Byoung Wan
Published: November 2023

Recently, offshore structures for eco-friendly energy, such as wind and solar power, have been developed to address the problem of insufficient land space; in the case of energy generation, they are designed on a considerable scale. Therefore, the scalability of offshore structures is crucial. The Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) developed multi-linked floating offshore structures composed of floating bodies and connection beams for floating photovoltaic systems. Large-scale floating photovoltaic systems are mainly designed in a manner that expands through the connection between modules and demonstrates a difference in structural response with connection conditions. A fluid–structure coupled analysis was performed for the multi-linked floating offshore structures. First, the wave load acting on the multi-linked offshore floating structures was calculated through wave load analysis for various wave load conditions. The response amplitude operators (RAOs) for the motions and structural response of the unit structure were calculated by performing finite element analysis. The effects of connection conditions were analyzed through comparative studies of RAOs and the response’s maximum magnitude and occurrence location. Hence, comparing the cases of a hinge connection affecting heave and pitch motions and a fixed connection, the maximum bending stress of the structure decreased by approximately 2.5 times, while the mooring tension increased by approximately 20%, confirmed to be the largest change in bending stress and mooring tension compared to fixed connection. Therefore, the change in structural response according to connection condition makes it possible to design a higher structural safety of the structural member through the hinge connection in the construction of a large-scale multi-linked floating offshore structure for large-scale photovoltaic systems in which some unit structures are connected. However, considering the tension of the mooring line increases, a safety evaluation of the mooring line must be performed.

Este artículo propone un acercamiento a la discusión sobre repatriaciones de los objetos del pasado prehispánico mediante estrategias y activaciones desde el arte contemporáneo, que desbordan las nociones de patrimonio cultural y nación. A partir de mi experiencia etnográfica en la comunidad de La Pila (Manabí-Ecuador), exploro en el potencial de las prácticas artesanales basadas en la replicación y la reproducción como formas de regreso que surgen de las memorias y los conocimientos desde el hacer. Presentaré los procesos del proyecto Corrientes de retorno (2021) para indagar en apropiaciones y posibilidades de convivencia con el pasado que se distancian del canon de la originalidad y la autenticidad.
Dommun
Authors: Corrales Pamela
Published: November 2023

La exposición Dommun brinda una perspectiva aguda de la fotografía contemporánea en relación con la conexión humana con el espacio. Dividida en tres capítulos:

En "Inmueble", se examinan las restricciones temporales y espaciales de la fotografía como índex, requiriendo elementos adicionales para plasmar la intención original.

“Varianza" interroga el papel de la fotografía en el proceso fotográfico, generando imágenes finales a partir de cálculos estadísticos de 100 fotografías.

Finalmente, "Hogar" expande la fotografía incorporándola en una instalación doméstica proyecta también en el espacio expositivo.

Dommun desafía convenciones, predefiniendo el medio en la creación de imágenes.
La expansión de la palma aceitera en Ecuador desde la revolución verde, 1961-2021
Authors: Chamorro Cristóbal Antonio
Published: November 2023

This article focuses on the scientific, political and entrepreneurial networks that favored the expansion of the oil palm in Ecuador (1961-2021) during the Green Revolution period, which involved the promotion of crops for industrial transformation. The purpose is to highlight the articulation that emerged around the oil palm and the relationship between the National Agricultural Research Institute (Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, INIAP) and the National Association of Palm Producers (Asociación Nacional de Cultivadores de Palma, ANCUPA). The analysis is based on data from the INIAP archives at the INIAP-Santa Catalina Experimental Station. The main conclusion is that palm expansion responded to a cultural assemblage of power relations in which physical, social, financial, scientific and technical elements converged.

Water from the Palancia River has been used to irrigate crops since the Middle Ages through a great canal known as the Séquia Major de Sagunt. This channel is mentioned in the only Valencian document prior to Christian conquest in the thirteenth century: a friendly agreement between the villages of Ṭurruš and Qarṣ, inscribed in Islamic law, which aimed to resolve the ongoing dispute between them regarding how water how water should be distributed. The document initiated a field study based on hydraulic archaeology that made it possible to locate Qarṣ huerta farmlands and the structures that made up the system, revealing how the water distribution and the application of usage rights by the communities worked. From the study we concluded that the Qarṣ village did not build the channel but was added to its irrigation system later. As a result, it only had rights to surplus water.

Kehadiran Generasi Z dalam dunia kerja membawa tantangan tersendiri bagi organisasi. Karakteristik dan preferensi Generasi Z yang berbeda dari generasi sebelumnya, membuat organisasi perlu mempertimbangkan faktor yang dapat memengaruhi kepuasan dan loyalitas karyawan generasi ini di tempat kerja. Maka dari itu, studi ini mengkaji bagaimana pengembangan karir dan lingkungan kerja berdampak terhadap loyalitas karyawan Generasi Z, dengan kepuasan kerja sebagai mediasi. Populasi penelitian merupakan karyawan Generasi Z, sementara sampel adalah 389 orang responden Generasi Z yang sedang bekerja di Kota Batam, yang diperoleh secara nonprobability dengan teknik purposive. Indikator kuesioner diukur menggunakan Skala Likert dan diuji menggunakan metode Structural Equation Model (SEM) berbasis SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa meningkatnya pencapaian tujuan karir dan semakin kondusif lingkungan kerja karyawan Generasi Z memengaruhi kepuasan dan kecenderungan mereka untuk lebih setia pada organisasi, baik secara langsung dan tidak langsung. Namun, variabel job satisfaction pada penelitian ini disebut hanya memengaruhi variabel employee loyalty sebesar 38,3 persen, sehingga kemampuan variabel job satisfaction dari penelitian ini dinilai masih memiliki keterbatasan dalam menjelaskan variabel dependen. Tidak hanya itu saja, keterbatasan lain ada pada data yang diperoleh karena objek penelitian dan sampel yang digunakan hanya mencakup Generasi Z yang bekerja di Kota Batam, sehingga penelitian belum merepresentasikan angkatan kerja Generasi Z secara keseluruhan.

La gouvernance forestière: un regard pour mieux voir les acteurs de l’économie sociale
Authors: Chiasson Guy , Boucher Jacques
Published: November 2023

Selon le concept de « gouvernance », le pouvoir dans les sociétés contemporaines est partagé entre une multiplicité d’acteurs provenant des secteurs public, privé et associatif. Alors que l’État et les grandes entreprises privées titulaires de permis de coupe occupent, depuis deux siècles, une position centrale dans la mise en valeur des forêts publiques québécoises, une perspective de gouvernance permet de voir la contribution d’autres acteurs plus périphériques, notamment ceux issus de l’économie sociale. Des recherches dans les dernières décennies ont ainsi pu mettre en avant le rôle des coopératives forestières, des zones d’exploitation contrôlée, des regroupements forestiers et des forêts communautaires et apporter des éclairages sur les conditions de leur affirmation dans le régime forestier.
