Primary Closure of Gastric Perforation Using Seromuscular Omentum Insertion: A Case Report
Authors: Kalitouw Ferry , Salem Billy , Sugito Brian
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Gastric perforation is the most common disease and a surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality; therefore, early and precise management is needed. However, no consensus has been accepted regarding the best surgical treatment for gastric perforation closure so far. Although surgery methods are varied, laparotomy, and omental patch repair are still the gold standard. The risk of leakage after primary closure accompanied by omentopexy is still common, resulting high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to discuss about the modified method by means of primary closure with seromuscular omentum insertion in a gastric perforation case. We modified the usual method using primary closure with seromuscular omentum insertion, to get the best way for perforation closure and reduced risk of leakage. After a week of surgical perforation closure, the patient was discharged and further observation resulted in no leakage. In conclusion, modified method by using primary closure with seromuscular omentum insertion in gastric perforation has good result without any leakage and recurrence.

Background: Degenerative diseases are generally defined as diseases caused by a process of decreased organ function which generally occurs in old age. This disease has many varieties and symptoms and often attacks the community in general. In Indonesia, the epidemiological transition has led to a shift in disease patterns, in which there has been an increase in degenerative diseases. Degenerative disease is a chronic non-communicable disease due to the decline in the function of the body's organs due to the aging process. Indonesia's health sector is currently bearing a double burden, because on the one hand there has been an increase in degenerative diseases, while on the other hand infectious diseases are still rampant. Purpose: to gain a better understanding of problems related to degenerative diseases: causes, effects, prevention and management. Method: In this study we used a research method in the form of library research, which is a series of studies relating to library data collection methods, or the research was collected through various kinds of library information (scientific journals, books, encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and documents). Conclusion: Based on the research results obtained from reviewing journals that match the theme, it can be concluded that the poor and middle class are more at risk of death from degenerative diseases ENMD and DCS than the rich. While the population with the age group of 45–54 years is more at risk of dying from DCS degenerative disease than those aged 33 years.

Authors: W. L. Abdullah  , R. M. Abed
Published: February 2024

MicroRNAs are non-coding gene regulators that may serve as systemic lupus erythematosus biomarkers for diagnosis or prognosis. This study was aimed to identify the single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1140713) of microRNA-126 and its expression by using PCR and qRT-PCR techniques. This research involved 100 womenwith SLE with a mean age of 32.85±9.992 years they were obtained from Baghdad city (medical city, Baghdad Hospital)/Iraq, along with 100 healthy controls with a mean age of 31.68±8.308 years. The mean score on the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI-2k) was 10.860.±3.275  and a disease duration was 9.00 years, (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, urea, and creatinine were all significantly higher in SLE patients compared to controls, while haemoglobin, white blood cells, complement 3, and complement 4 were significantly lower in contrast to controls (p-value=< 0.0001**)). According to the examination of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) in patients, 89% of them have ANA and 95% have anti-double strand DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies. Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis for subjects involved in this study revealed a significant increased risk association between miRNA-126 (rs1140713) heterozygote (CT)(OR=20.64; p≤0.001) and homozygote mutant (TT) (OR = 16.35; p= 0.001) genotypes and SLE incidence. Moreover, the results showed a substantial decline in microRNA-126 expression with fold change mean (0.639±2.931) in comparison to controls' fold change mean (1.00±0.00). The present investigation found no indication of a relationship between changes in microRNA-126 folds and demographic or laboratory studies of the disease. The results suggest the microRNA-126 might consider as biomarkers in SLE pathogenesis.

This study aimed to evaluate biosurfactant production and antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas bacteria isolated from some agricultural fields to detect the relationship of these isolates traits with some heavy metals resistance. Bacterial isolates were screened for biosurfactant production through blood hemolysis, oil spreading, emulsification activity, and surface tension. The antibiotic sensitivity was determined using disk diffusion method. Then, identification of the selected isolates and subjected to gradient concentrations of heavy metals to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Biosurfactant production was found in 74.29% of these isolates. The isolates resistance to Ticarcillin-clavulanate, Aztreonam, Piperacillin, and Imipenem were 92.86%, 31.43%, 2.86% and 1.43%, respectively. The eight selected isolates were identified by biochemical tests and VITEK 2 system as P. aeruginosa. The resistance of these isolates to heavy metals differed significantly. The isolate B49 recorded the highest resistance to Cu (MIC=3200 µg/ml) and Zn (MIC=2600 µg/ml), while the isolate B66 recorded the highest resistance to Cd (MIC=1000 µg/ml) and isolate B25 had higher resistance to Hg (MIC=80 µg/ml), and Pb (MIC=2800 µg/ml). The correlation coefficient between emulsification (E24%) and CdCl2 (r=0.27) and Pb (r=0.38) was significant positive, while E24% had a significant negative correlation with Zn (r= -0.63) and non-significant correlation to copper (r=0.02) and mercury (r=0.19) resistance.

EFFECT OF TILLAGE, CROP ROTATION AND PREVIOUS CROP RESIDUES ON CLOVER, MAIZE AND MUNG BEAN PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: H. T. R. Al-Furaiji  , N. S. Ali
Published: February 2024

Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residues and crop rotation on productivity of clover, maize and mung bean, at the experimental research station of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad in Aljadriya, Baghdad – Iraq during two seasons of 2021-2022. 1st trail was with two factors: residues (0%R and 100%R) and tillage (minimum (MT) and conventional (CT)) with four replicates. Results indicated the best values of height and dry matter yield were (70.25 cm and 5.558 Mg ha-1) for (100%R+MT) compared with (65.5 cm and 4.985 Mg ha-1) for (0%R+CT) respectively. The 2nd trail was with three factors: the same tillage and residues coupled with crop rotations (clover-maize) and (clover-mung bean). Results (representing the accumulated effect of both trials) indicated the best values of height, dry matter yield and grains and seeds  yield were (236.25 and 111.5) cm, (4.560 and 14.745) Mg ha-1, (6.840 and 3.754) Mg ha-1 for (100%R+MT) treatment compared to (210.0 and 101.25) cm, (4.048 and 11.337) Mg ha-1, (5.685 and 2.829) Mg ha-1 with (0%R+CT) for maize and mung bean respectively and under crop rotations (clover-maize) for maize and (clover- mung bean) for mung bean.
The Breakdown and Surface Characteristics of Polymer Interfaces Under HV Impulses
Authors: Wong Timothy , Timoshkin Igor , MacGregor Scott , Wilson Mark , Given Martin
Published: February 2024

With the ever-increasing requirements placed on current and future
pulsed power systems in terms of voltage, power, and compactness; solid
insulation is a strong candidate for the development of novel insulation
systems capable of meeting these specifications. However, the issue of
solid-solid interfaces under non-standard and fast-rising impulses must
firstly be addressed, as the failure to do so may pose significant risk
of electrical breakdown due to reduced dielectric strength across
interfacial contacts. In this work, the impulsive breakdown
characteristics across dry-mate solid interfaces formed between PVC
(polyvinylchloride), Torlon (polyamide-imide), Delrin
(polyoxymethylene), Perspex (polymethylmethacrylate), and Ultem
(polyetherimide) has been investigated in atmospheric air and under two
different impulsive waveforms rising at ∼2400 kV/µs and ∼0.35 kV/µs. The
statistical treatment of the obtained impulsive breakdown voltages and
time to breakdowns are presented, alongside an analysis of the
post-breakdown surfaces and discharge channel morphologies. The results
indicate that under low mating pressure conditions (10’s of kPa), the
interfacial breakdown strength may be below that of only an air gap with
no dielectrics. A correlation between the estimated asperity aspect
ratio and the interfacial breakdown strength has been observed. This
suggests that under the present experimental conditions, field
enhancement around surface asperities may be a dominating factor which
defines the breakdown strength of the interface, since the surface
asperities do not deform sufficiently to form strong interfacial contact
spots, and thus reducing the interfacial tracking resistance. This
therefore provides little to impede the development of interfacial
discharges. The widths of post-breakdown traces left by plasma channels
on the contacting surfaces have also been shown to be dependent on the
rate of voltage rise, dV/dt, and on the material forming the interface.
The results arising from this work may aid in the future development of
high voltage solid insulating systems for power and pulsed power
systems.
Some aspects of Pólemos and catastrophe according to Ernst Jünger and Simone Weil
Authors: Dall'Igna Antonio
Published: February 2024

The present paper analyses the relationship between the figures of the Arbeiter and the Krieger, described by Ernst Jünger, and their metaphysical context, that is, the becoming in which the catastrophe of war takes place. The analysis is conducted through a theoretical comparison with Simone Weil’s thought, in which war is considered as an extreme case of malheur, i.e., the manifestation of divinity as pure grace devoid of power. Two useful paradigms are thus outlined to explain the condition of the human being in the becoming: the paradigm of dominion (Jünger) and the paradigm of waiting (Weil). In the second part of the paper, those two options are associated with two art pieces, in order to visually represent the characteristics of dominion and waiting, showing the dramatic issue of the choice for dominion in the face of the catastrophe produced by technology.
Back and forth around critique. Some notes on Horst Bredekamp, between history and theory
Authors: Mogetta Davide
Published: February 2024

This paper sets forth some hypotheses on Horst Bredekamp’s research. Bredekamp’s Bildwissenschaft has a peculiar thought dynamic that was initially developed in his art historiographical efforts. These show a relevant entanglement of present interest and past issues, research method and research object. I will show this with a focus on his research on the Kunstkammer. This dynamic developed later in Bredekamp’s research on the image act in a theoretical way. It is transformed here in the attempt to develop a thought which is not overcome by, and does not destroy, the energy which lies at the core of the image act. The peculiar connections between these dimensions are discussed as the effects of the problematic urges that the different developments of his method and theory try to address always anew. It will be shown that a hidden, vital core of his work is a striving towards critique.
“Warfare is a specialised variety of hunting”
Authors: Molder Maria Filomena
Published: February 2024

The Ukrainian war pervades – as a token for deciphering the ruins of our present – the lines of this interview. That deciphering implies both refusing to be subjected to the devastation of the cities as an inevitable fate and trying to unfold the possibilities of rediscovering a «poetry of the city» (Fabrizio Desideri). We risk falling into incontrollable mistakes and mystifications if we hide from ourselves life’s violence. Philosophically speaking, the most beautiful victory is the one in which we defeat ourselves (Plato). But the role of art, the only human activity able to tear off the masque to violence (Giorgio Colli) is irreplaceable: from Greek tragedy to contemporary cinema.
A vertiginous polemology. Around the motif of war in Roger Caillois
Authors: Azzariti-Fumaroli Luigi
Published: February 2024

The essay is dedicated to war considered through the reflections of Roger Caillois and in particular through certain motifs – feast, sacred, vertigo – that allow us to grasp its ‘metaphysical’ intention, i.e. capable of looking at war as the point of chiasmatic reversibility of life and death.
Il lògos e la pòlis
Authors: Dionigi Ivano
Published: February 2024

The crisis of the word runs parallel to that of politics, and we should not invoke the mirage of a Babel, of ‘a single lip’, but rather the miracle of a secular Pentecost that allows us to understand each other while remaining faithful to our own language. Not the aut aut of the closed Greek pòlis, but the et et of the open Roman civitas. Suitable words for adequately designating the present, for placing, like a wise architect, the foundations on which it will be possible to build once again.
Tadao Ando. Collezione Pinault, Bourse de commerce, Parigi
Authors: Privitera Francesca
Published: February 2024

The historical life of the Bourse de Commerce building in Paris is the inescapable starting point for the design of Tadao Ando’s Collection Pinault. The geometrical rigour of the cylindrical body designed by Ando, which is concentric to the rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce, reverberates echoes from the Enlightenment while gently urging the architecture towards the absolute, transforming the real into the universal.
Mario Botta. Chiesa di San Rocco a Sambuceto (Chieti)
Authors: Butini Riccardo
Published: February 2024

In the church of San Rocco in Sambuceto, Mario Botta reduces to their most concise expression all the elements of the architectural composition, which is thus stripped of everything that may be superfluous. The project gives a signal of order within the fragmented and fragile urban scene, pursuing a desire for the city that is present from the start.
Paolo Zermani. Scuola per l’Europa a Parma
Authors: Uccelli Vittorio
Published: February 2024

Paolo Zermani’s School for Europe (Scuola per l’Europa) lies on the Valley of the Po as a place for recomposing the territory, aware of the fact that a world converges on it, of which it is the centre. Walking along its porticoed streets, so near the rows of mulberry trees and the irrigation canals that mark the boundary with the adjacent agricultural fields, it is possible to understand how it is the great themes of the Po Valley architecture that construct the body of this building.
Franco Albini e Franca Helg. Negozio Olivetti a Parigi
Authors: Cosentino Giuseppe
Published: February 2024

The Olivetti store in Paris designed by Franco Albini and Franca Helg is a rigorous exhibition machine articulated by the presence of spindly mahogany uprights which, like a forest of luminous pillars, pervades the exhibition space. The great hall for exhibiting the typewriters is designed like an ancient chamber of wonders where handicrafts, works of art and mechanical objects are collected side by side.
Elisa Valero Ramos. Ampliamento della Scuola Cerrillo de Maracena, Granada
Authors: Privitera Francesca
Published: February 2024

Un’idea di ‘precisione’ indissolubilmente legata, come per gli antichi, ai concetti di ‘verità’, ‘misura’ e ‘armonia’, è la ragione primaria che ispira l’ampliamento della Scuola Cerrillo de Maracena (2013-2014) di Elisa Valero Ramos, e che consente all’architetta di condensare pensiero logico e pensiero poetico in un unico gesto architettonico: un austero volume costruito di cemento e di luceAn idea of ‘precision’ that, as in the ancients, is inextricably linked to the concepts of ‘truth’, ‘measure’ and ‘harmony’, is the primary inspiration for the extension of the Cerrillo de Maracena School (2013-2014) by Elisa Valero Ramos, and this allows the architect to condense both logical and poetic thought into a single architectural gesture: an austere volume built of concrete and light.
Fotografie del viaggio in Grecia di Emilio Cecchi
Authors: Lisini Caterina
Published: February 2024

Le fotografie di Emilio Cecchi possono essere considerate, alla stregua dei formidabili Taccuini, uno strumento essenziale e complementare alla scrittura dell’autore, condensando insieme appunti, intuizioni poetiche, reminiscenze antiche. Nella confessione lirica e nella decifrazione dei caratteri più nascosti dell’architettura classica, le istantanee del viaggio in Grecia (1934) mostrano di contenere un proprio «arabesco spaziale e temporale», una qualità precipua di evocare significati ‘altri’, anima della profondità delle interpretazioni visive di Cecchi.Emilio Cecchi’s photographs, like his extraordinary Taccuini, or notebooks, can be considered as essential and complementary to his writings, bringing together notes, poetic intuitions and ancient reminiscences. In their lyrical confession and in the deciphering of the most hidden features of classical architecture, the snapshots from the journey to Greece (1934) show how they contain their own “spatial and temporal arabesque”, a peculiar quality of evoking “other” meanings which represent the soul of the depth of Cecchi’s visual interpretations.

La priorità dei ritmi naturali nella cultura mediterranea
Authors: Ferrarotti Franco
Published: February 2024

La cultura è agricoltura: nel senso preciso che la tradizione culturale è nello stesso tempo traduzione, sedimentazione, attesa che il seme si maceri nel terreno e dia, a tempo debito, il suo frutto. Gli italiani sono ancora un popolo di contadini; la società industriale italiana può apparire anche più solida di altre perché poggia su un passato che non passa, sui semi positivi e non ancora storicamente inverati della grande cultura mediterranea.

Culture is agriculture: in the precise sense that cultural tradition is simultaneously also translation, sedimentation, waiting for the seed to macerate in the soil and, in due time, to bear fruit. Italians are still a peasant people; Italian industrial society may even appear as being more solid than others, but this is because it rests on a past that does not pass away, on the positive and yet historically unfulfilled seeds of the great Mediterranean culture.
