Equitable Crime and Constructive Punishment: Deemed and Actual Agency Gains in Canadian Law
Authors: Chiu Tori N.
Published: April 2024

This article deals with the test for whether proprietary relief is warranted by way of constructive trust, as set out in Roy Goode’s essay “Property and Unjust Enrichment” and later adopted by the Supreme Court of Canada in Soulos v. Korkontzilas. The article hones in on the second element of the Soulos test — the deemed agency gain — proposing that there cannot be a deemed agency gain where the wrong committed was not connected to an action authorized by the plaintiff. Therefore, the article proposes that deemed agency gains cannot exist in cases involving bribery or other corruption, and as such cannot be used to obtain a constructive trust in these cases, unless the specific act of corruption was in fact authorized by the plaintiff.
Preparing for a Mid-Life Crisis: Section 92A at 40
Authors: Bankes Nigel , Leach Andrew
Published: April 2024

Section 92A, the resources amendment, was added to Canada’s foundational constitutionaldocument in 1982 at the same time as Canada patriated its Constitution from Westminster and adopted the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The provision was designed to confirm and enhance the legislative and executive authority of provincial governments. As we approach the fortieth anniversary of section 92A, Canada appears destined for another federation-defining conflict over resource-related issues including the construction of new pipelines, legislative and policy responses to greenhouse gas emissions, and the reach of federal environmental impact assessment legislation. This article begins by examining the events that led to the adoption of section 92A and next assesses both how litigants have invoked section 92A and how Canadian courts have interpreted its text in the 40 years since its adoption. Earlier decisions relied on section 92A to confirm the validity of provincial or municipal legislation, but, in more recent cases, section 92A has been invoked to question the validity or applicability of federal legislation. Section 92A arose out of conflict with respect to trade in resources and the right to appropriate the economic rent associated with developing those resources. The current conflicts focus on the power to make laws with respect to the development and exploitation of those resources.
Reflections on the Supreme Court of Canada's Decision in R. v. Sharma
Authors: Fehr Colton
Published: April 2024

The criminal law has been criticized for failing to engage with the right to equality when delineating its permissible scope. While these criticisms are forceful, they must also be tempered by the structure of judicial review. The Supreme Court’s recent decision in R. v.Sharma is illustrative. Despite an avid dissent, a narrow majority found that Parliament’s decision to amend a prior sentencing law that conferred a benefit to a minority group could not by itself sustain a violation of the right to equality. This approach is principled as any other interpretation would undermine the constitutional framework for punishment under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This follows as the essence of the constitutional challenge in Sharma concerned whether refusing to permit a conditional sentence order for select offences would result in an unconstitutional punishment. By finding a violation of the right to equality, the minority circumvented the gross disproportionality standard required to declare a punishment unconstitutional under section 12 of the Charter. In its place, the minority would have imposed a mere proportionality standard under section1 for any punishment laws that retract a previously granted benefit to a minority group. Such an approach might be justifiable if there were no other means to consider equality interests when determining the constitutionality of sentencing laws. However, that is not the case as the reasonable hypothetical offender analysis under section 12 can ensure that the equality considerations implicit in the criminal law are given due weight. While conducting the analysis under section 12 does not change the result in Sharma, it upholds the principle underlying that provision requiring the scope of sentencing policy to remain reasonably broad to account for differing political opinions about the appropriate use of punishment.
Property in Place: A Legacy of Context
Authors: Brown Tenille
Published: April 2024

Legal research that highlights context to emphasize circumstances in which decisions occur is important for the legal academy as it reveals the realities in which law operates. This is particularly true for property law which, as the work of Bruce Ziff shows, the perspective of stories, people, and geographies are essential to understanding. In his investigation of seminal property case law, Ziff does not simply discuss legal rules, rather, Ziff explores the real life features of each case. Ziff provides a micro perspective on cases, which also capturing broader information that provides a macro outlook on how legal argument is created. Through this work it becomes clear that context matters.
Pore Space as a Resource: A Discussion of the Policy and Regulatory Framework for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
Authors: Howard Kerri , Howard Kimberly , Milne Carolyn , Urch Ashley , Wilson Ashley , Baker Derek
Published: April 2024

Reinforced by the International Energy Agency (IEA), carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is currently the only available group of technologies that reduce emissions in key hard to abate sectors and capture CO2 emissions that enable low carbon value chains such as hydrogen. Further, CCUS and carbon management play a critical role in achieving future global climate and energy goals. In fact, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the IEA state that there is no viable path to net zero emissions without CCUS and other carbon management technologies.
Due to concerns regarding energy security and an increase in energy demand, generation of energy from conventional hydrocarbon resources continues to be vital. In Alberta, CCUS is a necessary tool to align provincial climate change goals with the responsible and competitive market of energy production.
Canada’s oil and gas sector has been an early innovator and adopter of CCUS. Given the petroleum and natural gas resources available in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, and the decades-long energy industry expertise established in connection therewith, there is significant potential to further utilize CCUS to create a CCUS-based value chain.
This article provides an overview of the current Canadian regulatory frameworks enabling CCUS, with a focus on the regulatory framework and development in Alberta. Specific topics include: (1) an overview of the regulatory frameworks governing CCUS in key jurisdictions in Canada, including Alberta; (2) an overview of the frameworks for the generation of offset credits from environmental attributes associated with a given project or activity, including both federal and provincial carbon credits and clean fuel credits; (3) a discussion of gaps in policy and legislation; (4) options for regulating “open access” CCUS hubs and CO2 pipelines; and (5) an overview of the various governmental incentives for CCUS projects, including federal and provincial tax credits.

Authors: Ralph Sean , Loney Julia C. , Riley Beth , Johnson Ryan , Klug Spencer
Published: April 2024

Canada’s economy has historically been built on natural resources. In response to the risk of climate change, energy security, and environmental and social governance pressures, Canada has begun to transition towards a net zero economy. Canada has pledged to be net zero by 2050. Critical minerals are vital to the new green and digital economy and key to energy security moving forward. Canada, like many other countries, is in a race to secure and develop critical minerals. Canada’s national critical minerals strategy aims to develop critical minerals and associated value chains, while also creating opportunities for investment and entrepreneurship. This article highlights and discusses Canada’s strategy, the Canadian regulatory environment, and the strategies of Canada’s global competitors.

Authors:   , Souza Marcio Felix de
Published: April 2024

Em contextos sócio-históricos desafiadores que enfrentamos atualmente
é necessário buscar adaptação para superar as dificuldades impostas,
especialmente quando o ser humano entra na etapa final do desenvolvimento
humano, a velhice. A prática de uma atividade esportiva e recreativa, em grupo,
foi uma alternativa encontrada pelos praticantes de vôlei adaptado, conforme a
pesquisa realizada sob a perspectiva do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Nos
desafios que se apresentam para as pessoas idosas, é importante aprimorar o
autoconhecimento, o equilíbrio emocional, a autoconfiança, a tolerância ao
estresse, empatia, ânimo para aprender, persistência, entre outras, as quais se
manifestam nas formas de pensar e ser no mundo, na forma de se relacionar
com os outros e consigo mesmo, nos comportamentos ou atitudes, influenciando
na capacidade de adaptação ao ambiente e na própria capacidade de agir no
enfrentamento de situações novas ou adversas. Por meio dos recursos sociais
que a prática do vôlei adaptado é capaz de fornecer, como rede de relações e
suporte social, além dos benefícios físicos da prática esportiva, são ativados
mecanismos de bem-estar subjetivo e da continuidade da funcionalidade e
autonomia que impactam positivamente na saúde física e mental, apesar da
presença de riscos e perdas próprias do envelhecimento.

A GEOMETRIA COERENTE DE RUBEM VALENTIM: o itinerário sincrético de uma invenção monumental
Authors: Fazzolari Claudia , Gonçalves Lisbeth Rebollo
Published: April 2024

A obra pictórico-escultórica de Rubem Valentim inaugura no contexto da arte brasileira um itinerário sincrético de invenção construtiva, em fina sintonia com uma geometria autoral, de fato contundente. Obstinado por uma pesquisa plástica que nunca cedeu aos humores do mercado, Valentim foi incansável em suas convicções e em seus posicionamentos. Em sua trajetória, partiu algumas vezes – de Salvador ao Rio de Janeiro, de Lisboa a Londres e Roma e, definitivamente de Brasília para São Paulo - buscando em sua criação e não apenas no deslocamento geográfico, a razão de suas inquietações: o compromisso efetivo com o seu referencial cultural marcado pela projeção de suas próprias raízes e pelo desejo de completar-se que resiste em toda obra de arte.
A CRÍTICA DE ARTE NA MODERNIDADE: Histórias, relações e significados.
Authors: Fatio Carla Francisca
Published: April 2024

O objeto deste artigo é um relato de aproximação inicial sobre o papel da crítica de arte nos textos da Seção Brasil do catálogo da II Bienal Internacional de Arte (1953-1954) de São Paulo. E um convite ao leitor a revisitar os passos ideários de seu fundador, Ciccillo Matarazzo, ao longo de sua vida, sobre dois tópicos: a Comemoração do IV Centenário da cidade de São Paulo (1954) e a mediação de terceiros sobre uma única bienal latino-americana (1978), após seu falecimento. O escopo é valorizar o papel da crítica de arte nessa linha do tempo, protagonizar a Fundação Bienal e validar que o tempo auxilia àqueles que acreditam em seus sonhos e realizam esses ideais.
CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM LEGADO: proposições e repercussões da II Bienal do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo
Authors: Marques Helena de Madureira , Gonçalves Lisbeth Rebollo
Published: April 2024

Levando em conta o contexto em que emerge a Bienal de São Paulo, em 1951, notam-se efeitos no cenário artístico que são ao mesmo tempo causa e consequência da criação de tal evento. Já a segunda edição da Bienal, desenvolvida pelo MAM-SP em 1953, apresenta ao contexto de arte brasileiro um ambiente em que já está evidente a relevância das bienais para a arte moderna brasileira e internacional. Ainda que emergente, o evento se coloca como ambiente que pretende expor as tendências artísticas e simultaneamente traçar panoramas vindouros do que estaria sendo produzido em arte neste contexto. Sob direção artística de Sérgio Milliet, a II Bienal do MAM-SP assume uma posição mediadora no embate entre arte figurativa e arte abstrata, o que não acontece na primeira edição do evento. Considerando a gestão de Milliet, a Bienal de 1953 traz ao Brasil obras como a Guernica, de Picasso, garantindo ao evento a popularização da Bienal a nível artístico e social, gerando também uma guinada na repercussão causada pela primeira edição. O presente capítulo pretende apresentar o contexto de emergência da II Bienal, bem como os efeitos promovidos pela direção de Milliet num dos debates mais relevantes entre abstração e figuração da década de 1950.
O 1º SALÃO PAULISTA DE BELAS ARTES, AS EXPOSIÇÕES DA FAMÍLIA ARTÍSTICA PAULISTA E O GRUPO SANTA HELENA: uma análise sobre concepções expositivas e trajetórias artísticas
Authors: Teixeira Júnior João Carlos , Boaventura Maria Carolina Rodrigues , Gonçalves Lisbeth Ruth Rebollo
Published: April 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o 1° Salão de Belas Artes de São Paulo e as exposições da Família Artística Paulista (FAP) como forma de compreender o contexto expositivo paulistano da segunda metade da década de 1930. Para tanto elegeu-se a trajetória de alguns dos principais pintores do chamado ‘Grupo do Santa Helena', que participaram de ambas as exibições, como instrumento aferidor das concepções e discursos narrativos de tais mostras. O Primeiro Salão ocorreu no ano de 1934 para dar visibilidade à produção local e, além dos santa helenistas, contou com a participação de alguns nomes do modernismo de 1922. Já a Exposição da FAP, que teve três edições, sendo a primeira em 1937, originou-se de um grupo criado na esteira da constituição de outras associações de artistas, como o Clube dos Artistas Modernos, a Sociedade Pró-Arte Moderna, o Grupo Santa Helena e o Núcleo Bernardelli, entre outros. O Santa Helena, formado originalmente em torno da prática e aprendizado da pintura, em poucos anos passou a ocupar uma posição de relevância no circuito artístico, justamente durante o recorte temporal das exposições aqui analisadas. Assim, como recurso metodológico, analisou-se e sistematizou-se referências de fontes primárias como artigos de jornais, catálogos, textos críticos e publicações da época. A hipótese, portanto, é que o escrutínio desses documentos revele elementos característicos destas mostras, as quais transitam entre a preocupação com uma arte mais acadêmica e o estabelecimento de uma arte eminentemente moderna.

Evaluation of Peripheral Inflammatory Activity in Different Types of Dementia
Authors: Erkoç Ataoğlu Esra
Published: April 2024

Aim: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by pathophysiological processes involving neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and synaptic dysfunction. Vascular dementia (VaD) stands as the second most prevalent form among all dementia types, sharing common pathophysiological mechanisms with AD, such as vascular oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered a simple, noninvasive, and widely available clinical marker of inflammation. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential differences between these two different types of dementia in terms of NLR values.

Materials and Methods:The data of patients diagnosed with AD or VaD and healthy controls who applied to a University Hospital Neurology outpatient clinic were retrospectively examined, and the groups were analyzed with statistical methods in terms of NLR levels.

Results: A total of 39 AD, 32 VaD, and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Hemogram analyses revealed significantly elevated NLR values in both the AD and VaD groups compared to the healthy control group (p = .001, p = .001, respectively). AD and VaD groups demonstrated no significant difference in NLR (p = .787).Additionally, as a result of regression analyses, it was determined that age and NLR were independent variables associated with the presence of dementia.

Conclusions:NLR values are at higher levels in AD and VaD patient groups compared to healthy controls. Our results support the role of peripheral inflammation in the pathogenesis of VaD, as in AD. Additional studies are needed on potential inflammatory biomarkers of VaD.
The Assessment of Bone Metabolısm Parameters in Paedıatrıc patıents wıth Genu varum and Genu valgus deformıtıes
Authors: Kürüm Hüseyin , Demir Şükrü , Key Sefa
Published: April 2024

Aim: There are a limited number of studies in the literature explaining the relationship between bone metabolism parameters such as vitamin D, calcium (Ca), parathormone (PTH), magnesium (Mg), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and pediatric lower extremity coronal plane deformities.This study aimed to examine the impact of bone metabolism parameters on the development of genu varum or genu valgus deformities.

Methods: 45 patients with genu varum and genu valgus whose vitamin D, Ca, PTH, Mg and ALP parameters were evaluated in our polyclinic were included in the study.

Results: 44 (97.8%) of the patients were bilateral and one (2.2%) was unilateral. The mean age of patients with genu varum (4.3±4.8) was significantly lower than that of patients with genu valgus (11.9±4.1) (p<0.001). Ca values were normal in 44 (97.8%), vitamin D in 23 (51.1%), PTH in 33 (73.3%), ALP in 2 (4.4%) and Mg in 43 (95.6%) patients. 3% (6.7) of the patients had comorbidities. 2 of these (66.7%) were rickets.

Conclusion: The study shows that ALP can be used as a screening test especially in the coming years. In addition, although there are no sufficient incidence and prevalence studies in the literature, we can say that genu varum is seen more frequently and mostly bilaterally than genu valgus.It is not uncommon for rickets to accompany lower extremity coronal deformities in children. In addition, McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) may be accompanied not only by fibrous dysplasia (FD) but also by bilateral genu valgum deformity.

Investigating the actual performance of recent meta-heuristic algorithms in solving different optimization problems
Authors: Nguyen Thi Tat
Published: April 2024

In this paper, the Egret Swarm Optimization Algorithm (ESOA) and Zebra Optimization Algorithm (ZOA) are executed to solve different optimization problems. The results achieved by the two algorithms are evaluated using different criteria, such as stability, minimum, average, and maximum convergence. The evaluation of the results indicates that ESOA not only maintains a surprising stability through its execution but also provides a faster response time compared to ZOA. ESOA requires at most 20 iterations to reach the best value of the main objective functions of the first two selected optimization problems, while ZOA cannot. In the last two selected optimization problems, ESOA continuously shows its superiority over ZOA with its high stability and low utilization of iterations to reach the best value of the main objective functions. Considering these results, ESOA deserves powerful search methods, and the method is strongly recommended to optimize such optimization problems.

Published: April 2024

Stunting atau anak pendek merupakan salah satu masalah gizi yang menimpa dunia, terutama di negara-negara miskin dan berkembang. Stunting memiliki dampak serius pada kesehatan anak, meningkatkan risiko penyakit dan kematian, menghambat perkembangan otak, serta mempengaruhi pertumbuhan fisik dan mental. Pemantauan Status Gizi (PSG) pada tahun 2014 menunjukkan bahwa Provinsi Jawa Timur memiliki prevalensi stunting sebesar 29%. Survei awal di Kabupaten Sumenep mencatat adanya 70 anak yang mengalami stunting, dan angka ini meningkat menjadi 82 anak pada tahun 2022. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kurangnya pengetahuan ibu hamil dalam memenuhi kebutuhan gizi harian.

Untuk mencegah stunting, tindakan dini dapat dilakukan selama masa kehamilan dengan memastikan bahwa ibu hamil memperoleh asupan gizi yang berkualitas. Dengan pesatnya perkembangan teknologi mobile Android, telah dikembangkan sebuah aplikasi yang dapat membantu ibu hamil dalam memenuhi kebutuhan gizi harian mereka. Aplikasi Android ini dirancang untuk menghitung kebutuhan gizi harian berdasarkan berat badan, tinggi badan, usia kehamilan, dan tingkat aktivitas ibu hamil. Selanjutnya, aplikasi ini akan merekomendasikan menu makanan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan gizi harian ibu hamil.

Penggunaan Aplikasi Android. Diharapkan aplikasi ini dapat membantu mencegah dan mengurangi angka stunting di Kabupaten Sumenep, serta memberikan manfaat signifikan dalam upaya meningkatkan kesehatan ibu hamil dan pertumbuhan anak-anak di daerah tersebut.
An Epidemiologic Study of Bacterial Culture and Antibiotic Susceptibility Analyses in Captive Macaques and Marmosets at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center
Authors: Svenson Emma L , Coonen Jennifer , Svenson James E , Simmons Heather A , Hayes Jennifer M , Capuano Saverio
Published: April 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a growing public health threat that arises at the interface between animal, human, and environmental health. Although the pathways promoting the development of AMR are well characterized in human health settings, data within the veterinary medical world are less abundant, particularly from fields focusing on nontraditional species, such as nonhuman primates (NHPs). The purpose of this study was to describe trends in sample submission for bacterial culture, characterize patterns of microbial growth and any changes in AMR and susceptibility over time, and inform best practices for veterinary antimicrobial stewardship in a captively-housed, indoor NHP colony. Electronic health records from the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center were analyzed across a 10-y period using SAS Studio. There was an increasing pattern of sample submissions for culture and susceptibility analyses, with no corresponding increases in resistance to relevant antibiotics for potential zoonotic pathogens, such as Escherichia coli or Shigella species. Trends are suggestive of appropriate antimicrobial stewardship practices that were responsive to the medical needs of Wisconsin National Primate Research Center animals, as well as the needs of the larger research community at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. These findings can inform veterinary professionals working with NHPs and contribute to the growing body of literature surrounding AMR in nontraditional species.
Trophic Ecology of Post-Metamorphic Dendropsophus minutus (Peters, 1872) in Coastal Wetlands of Southern Brazil (Hylidae: Dendropsophini)
Authors: Huckembeck Sônia , Maneyro Raúl , Loebmann Daniel , Garcia Alexandre Miranda
Published: April 2024

Dendropsophus minutus is a hylid widely distributed in the Neotropics. Although this species is classified as «least concern», some populations are being affected by the advance of various anthropic activities. Despite previous studies on the biology of the species, some aspects of its trophic ecology are still unknown. We used stomach content analysis (SCA) and stable isotope analysis (SIA) to identify diet, trophic position and the primary food sources and preys that support a post-metamorphic population of D. minutus in the coastal plain of extreme southern Brazil. SCA revealed that Diptera (%PSIRI = 10.16), Hemiptera (%PSIRI = 5.83), and Araneae (%PSIRI = = 1.46) were present in the diet. The primary-producers-based mixing model indicated POM (particulate organic matter) as the main basal carbon source sustaining the analyzed specimens; whereas the prey-based mixing model showed that Hemiptera is the main resource assimilated by the species. Mean trophic position was 2.71, ranging between 2.52 and 2.91.
The Development of Rana arvalis (Amphibia, Ranidae), with Attention to the Skin Texture and Timing of Metamorphosis Events
Authors: Dujsebayeva Tatjana Nikolayevna , Arifulova Irina Ismailovna
Published: April 2024

For the first time, a description and timing of the development of the main external morphological characteristics of Rana arvalis Nilsson, 1842 is presented, with particular attention to the formation of skin texture. The first signs of texture in the form of dark stripes and spots appeared in tadpole skin at stages G39 – 40. At G41 – 44, the body of the tadpole acquired a typical «frog» position with an orientation of 20 – 30° to the substrate, dorsolateral stripes transformed into folds, and dark spots into tubercles in the caudo-rostral direction. At the end of metamorphosis (G45 – 46), the texture formation was completed on the entire back, and the type of morph (striata, non-striata) was easily determined. The period between the first signs of the appearance of skin texture and its complete formation took 6 – 12 days. The most stable was the interval between the primary protrusion of the forelimbs under the skin and the eruption of the first one (~12 h). The period between the eruption of the first and second forelimbs was the most variable (from an hour to three days). The results obtained highlight the plasticity and problematic nature of the phenomenon of metamorphosis in amphibians.
The hippocampus and implicit memory (by any other name)
Authors: Spaak Eelke
Published: April 2024

Is the hippocampus involved in implicit memory? I argue that contemporary views on hippocampal function, going beyond the classic dichotomy of explicit versus implicit, predict involvement of the hippocampus whenever flexible, predictive associations are rapidly encoded. This involvement is independent of conscious awareness. A paradigm case is statistical learning: the unconscious extraction of statistical regularities from the environment. In line with this, a substantial body of literature on contextual cueing in visual search has established hippocampal involvement in this form of implicit learning. To conclude, implicit memory (as such or by any other name) is associated with the hippocampus.

Published: April 2024

Olfaction plays a key role in our daily life, influencing food enjoyment, threat detection,mood and social relationships. Numerous studies have provided evidence of abnormalolfactory function in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. This pre-registered meta-analysis was conducted to (a) provide an updated overview on olfactory function inschizophrenia-spectrum disorders, and (b) examine the modulatory effects of demographicand clinical variables on distinct olfactory abilities. We complied with the PRISMAguidelines, searching throughout PubMed and PsycInfo, until the 12th of August 2023. Atotal of 73 publications were included, comprising data from 3282 patients and 3321 healthycontrols. Results revealed that (a) patients performed significantly worse in higher-orderolfactory tasks (identification and discrimination) compared to healthy controls, while nodifferences were observed in odor threshold sensitivity; (b) patients’ performance in odoridentification was moderated by education, as well as disease duration and negativesymptoms. Our findings support the presence of olfactory impairments in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, leading to significantly poorer performance in both odor identificationand discrimination, but not threshold, when compared to healthy controls.
Inconclusive effects between executive functions and symptoms of psychiatric disorders in random-intercept cross-lagged panel models: A simulated reanalysis and comment on Halse et al. (2022)
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Bo
Published: April 2024

In a recent study of Norwegian children (N = 874), Halse et al. (2022) used random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) and concluded that their findings supported the assumption that deficiencies in executive functions and psychopathology are both a cause and a consequence of the other. Here, we reanalyzed data simulated to resemble the data used by Halse et al. with several complementary models. Our findings of contradictory simultaneous increasing and decreasing effects suggested that prospective effects between executive deficits and symptoms of psychopathology were spurious rather than truly increasing. Consequently, conclusions by Halse et al. were not supported by their own data. It is important for researchers to bear in mind that correlations, including cross-lagged effects in RI-CLPM, do not prove causality. We recommend researchers to use, as we did here, triangulation to scrutinize findings from analyses of observational data.

Este artigo examina como as fake news podem reforçar o contexto desinformacional e contribuem para a criação de pseudomemórias LGBTQIAP+. Com uma abordagem qualitativa e exploratória, foram coletadas 29 fake news nas páginas de fact-checking Agência Lupa e Aos Fatos, que caracterizam os sujeitos LGBTQIAP+ pejorativamente. O método utilizado foi a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram que as informações falsas criam narrativas distorcidas que colaboram com a formação de pseudomemórias sobre esses sujeitos.
The Effects of High-Dose Ketamine on Motor Evoked Potential Monitoring in Patients with Myelopathy: A Case Series
Authors: E. Schober Andrew
Published: April 2024

Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) allow for real-time monitoring of the corticospinal tracts during spine surgery. MEPs can be difficult to obtain in patients with cervicothoracic myelopathy. We describe 5 myelopathic patients undergoing spine surgery with insufficient MEPs on a standard propofol-based anesthetic. Conversion to high-dose ketamine (20 mcg/kg/min) with other minimally suppressive agents resulted in signal enhancement in a majority (36 of 63) of muscle groups with adequate anesthesia and minimal adverse effects, although with considerable variability in the durability of this effect. High-dose ketamine appears to be a safe and viable option to attempt to augment poor baseline MEP signals.
Cryptococcosis: Unusual Presentation in A Patient Suffering of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Case Report and Review of The Literature
Authors: R.G. Vitale
Published: April 2024

Cryptococcosis is a disseminated fungal disease especially described in HIV patients, although in other non-HIV hosts such as those with other immunosuppression’s were also described. Cryptococcus neoformans has been reported to be isolated from blood cultures in around 20% of patients with cryptococcosis being correlated with poor prognosis. We report a case of HIV negative patient suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) CD20+, treated with GATLA 2020 AYA protocol that developed disseminated cryptococcosis. Liposomal amphotericin was initiated to treat the fungal disease. However, despite antifungal therapy the patient died within 5 days. Literature on invasive fungal infections in ALL cases is also reviewed, with particular attention to cryptococcosis.

Objective: Pleural procedure-related tumor seeding detected by computed tomography (CT) is common in lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusion. This study aimed to identify the incidence of tumor seeding and the associated factors among lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusions. Material and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 146 lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusions, diagnosed between 2010 and 2017, who underwent at least 1 pleural procedure and had at least 2 series of CT images. The potential factors were categorized into clinical characteristics, pleural characteristics, treatment factors, and pleural procedures. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were analyzed by Poisson regression to identify factors that were independently associated with tumor seeding. Results: The incidence of procedure-related tumor seeding was 26%. Significantly increased IRRs of tumor seeding were found in relation to 1 time (IRR 5.653, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.549 to 12.538) and ≥2 times of conventional intercostal chest drainage (ICD) insertion (IRR 5.837, 95% CI 1.768 to 19.266), 1 time (IRR 8.924, 95% CI 3.181 to 25.033) and ≥2 times of pleural biopsy (IRR 6.485, 95% CI 1.372 to 30.660), adenocarcinoma (IRR 8.329, 95% CI 2.804 to 24.747), and pleural thickening (IRR 12.458, 95% CI 1.360 to 114.152). Conclusion: Patients who had at least one pleural biopsy or ICD insertion, pleural fluid cytology positive or suspicious for malignancy, adenocarcinoma, or pleural thickening were found to be significantly at risk for tumor seeding.
POLISH CINEMA
Authors: Haltof Marek
Published: April 2024

First published in 2002, Marek Haltof’s seminal volume was the first comprehensive English-language study of Polish cinema, providing a much-needed survey of one of Europe’s most distinguished—yet unjustly neglected—film cultures. Since then, seismic changes have reshaped Polish society, European politics, and the global film industry. This thoroughly revised and updated edition takes stock of these dramatic shifts to provide an essential account of Polish cinema from the nineteenth century to today, covering such renowned figures as Kieślowski, Skolimowski, and Wajda along with vastly expanded coverage of documentaries, animation, and television, all set against the backdrop of an ever-more transnational film culture.
POST-OTTOMAN TOPOLOGIES
Authors: Argenti Nicolas
Published: April 2024

How are historians and social scientists to understand the emergence, the multiplicity, and the mutability of collective memories of the Ottoman Empire in the political formations that succeeded it? With contributions focussing on several of the nation-states whose peoples once were united under the aegis of Ottoman suzerainty, this volume proposes new theoretical approaches to the experience and transmission of the past through time. Developing the concept of topology, contributors explore collective memories of Ottoman identity and post-Ottoman state formation in a contemporary epoch that, echoing late modernity, we might term “late nationalism”.
