Published: February 2023

Pituitary carcinoma is a rare form of malignancy that may be very difficult to diagnose and treat. Many cases were diagnosed by way of the autopsy. Delays in diagnosis often adversely impact patients' consequences. This case report emphasizes the need for timely identification and careful management of pituitary carcinoma. We report a medical staff nurse aged 29 years female presented with complaints of sudden severe headaches and was admitted to a local hospital. She was given symptomatic treatment. All blood investigations were normal. MRI with contrast revealed an isointense to a hypointense lesion in the pituitary fossa with an irregular central mass of necrosis. She was treated with surgery and radiation. Pituitary carcinoma is a very rare entity. Any rapidly increasing macroadenoma should be managed by a team including an endocrinologist, neurosurgeon, and oncologist. Keywords: Pituitary Macroadenoma; Diagnosis; Treatment; Pituitary Adenoma
Our Agricultural Krísis
Authors: Anslow Matthew
Published: February 2023

In Australia, and indeed across the world, we are experiencing the effects of a broken food system, such that we face the possibility of a serious agricultural crisis. Current hopes for a resolution to this impending crisis are generally pinned to technology, despite the various problems associated with the use of agricultural technologies over recent decades. Such a situation demands a Christian missional response—an agriculturally-conscious missiology. This paper argues that farming and food production constitutes an aspect of Christian mission. The NT notion of krísis (judgment) is an as opportunity for repentance, applied to suggest that our agricultural crisis is a missional opportunity for the Church since it has spiritual, practical, and traditional resources necessary for a new agricultural paradigm. In light of these resources, the paper makes some provisional suggestions, directed at “consumers,” related to three missiological categories: relationship, contextualization, and participation. Each contributes to a way of thinking that Ellen Davis has called “agrarianism.”
A Prisoner of His Own Creative Imagination
Authors: Mashau Thinandavha Derrick
Published: February 2023

David Bosch’s ecclesiology remains one of the most influential in missiological circles globally. This article sought to interrogate Bosch’s creative imagination, with particular reference to his missional ecclesiology and in particular his view on the church as an alternative community from a decolonial perspective. What prompted this study is the ambiguity and at times, contradictory posture or even what seems to be a betrayal of Bosch’s thought in comparison with his praxis. This article discovered that Bosch was not just a prisoner of his creative imagination, but also a prisoner of his faith, his views on truth, unity of the church, transformation, violence and reconciliation and of hope.
A Contextual Analysis of Onnuri Church’s “Love Sonata”
Authors: Jennings J. Nelson
Published: February 2023

Since its beginning in 2007 through 2019, Onnuri Church’s Love Sonata musical outreach extravaganza has been held thirty times in cities all across Japan (and four elsewhere in Asia). Capitalizing on the wildly popular 2002 “Winter Sonata” Korean TV drama (“Fuyu Sonata” in Japan), Pastor Ha Yong-Jo instigated a “cultural evangelism gathering” involving Christian Korean musicians performing and himself preaching an evangelistic message. Hundreds of Onnuri Church volunteers have paid their own way to go and pray, make gift boxes, greet newcomers, and otherwise support each Love Sonata event. As a Korean outreach to Japan, Love Sonata provides an illuminating case study of cross-cultural missions in challenging circumstances. Korea and Japan are close in many ways, yet in other ways they are very far apart. Studying various aspects of the interpersonal interactions involved in the Love Sonata enterprise sheds instructive light on how mission service is embedded in actual history, often involving significant cultural barriers. Supported by qualitative research from interviews with both Japanese and Korean participants, plus drawing on the author’s thirteen-year Japan-based experience and five-year Korea-based experience, this study offers a multifaceted analysis of Love Sonata in order not to evaluate or make recommendations but to understand its overall contextual characteristics.
Road Safety Requirements
Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Delta Higher Institute for Engineering and Technology, Egypt, Nassef Manar M.
Published: February 2023

Frequent and severe traffic accidents have become a major concern because they hinder the sustainable development of society. Elements of roadway design play an important role in determining the risk of traffic accidents. Where, the geometry of the road has an effect on both the severity and frequency of road accidents. Road safety is affected by a variety of factors related to the behavior of drivers and the quality of the infrastructure. Some solutions need to be provided in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents, and safety performance functions (SPFs) are essential to the implementation of science-based road safety management. This is because it is preferable to provide preventative protection than to deal with the after-effects of an accident. The ability to address this issue is also dependent on having information about the safety conditions of the road network as well as the amount of finances that are available for the implementation of new road safety initiatives. It also requires the prioritization of the various interventions that may generate benefits, increasing safety, while ensuring that reasonable steps are taken to remedy the deficiencies detected within a reasonable timeframe. Roadside accidents are often considered to be among the most merciless types of accidents. It is possible to significantly lessen the severity of collisions by designing roadsides to be more forgiving. A roadside design that is more forgiving has a limited effect on lowering the overall number of accidents, but it has a significant impact on reducing the severity of collisions, which in turn reduces the number of fatal and injury accidents.

Authors: Momtaz David , Ghali Abdullah , Gonuguntla Rishi , Kotzur Travis , Ahmad Farhan , Arce Andrea , Olvera Ariana , Brady Christina , Rose Ryan
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Since the World Health Organization declared a pandemic in March 2020, COVID-19 has pressured the healthcare system. Elective orthopaedic procedures for American seniors were canceled, delayed, or altered because of lockdown restrictions and public health mandates. We sought to identify differences in the complication rates for elective orthopaedic surgeries before and atfter the pandemic onset. We hypothesized that complications increased in the elderly during the pandemic.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective analysis of the American College of Surgeons–National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database in patients older than 65 years undergoing elective orthopaedic procedures from 2019 (prepandemic) and April to December 2020 (during the pandemic). We recorded readmission rates, revision surgery, and 30-day postoperative complications. In addition, we compared the two groups and adjusted for baseline features with standard multivariate regression.

Results:

We included 146,430 elective orthopaedic procedures in patients older than 65 years (94,289 before the pandemic and 52,141 during). Patients during the pandemic had a 5.787 times greater chance of having delayed wait time to the operating room (P < 0.001), a 1.204 times greater likelihood of readmission (P < 0.001), and a 1.761 times increased chance of delayed hospital stay longer than 5 days (P < 0.001) when compared with prepandemic. In addition, during the pandemic, patients were 1.454 times more likely to experience any complication (P < 0.001) when compared with patients prepandemic undergoing orthopaedic procedures. Similarly, patients were also 1.439 times more likely to have wound complication (P < 0.001), 1.759 times more likely to have any pulmonary complication (P < 0.001), 1.511 times more likely to have any cardiac complication (P < 0.001), and 1.949 times more likely to have any renal complication (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, elderly patients faced longer wait times within the hospital and increased odds of complications after elective orthopaedic procedures than similar patients before the pandemic.

Shock index as a predictor of maternal outcome in postpartum hemorrhage: an experience from a tertiary care centre in Northern India
Authors: Agarwal Sakshi , Pandey Uma
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the commonest causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Serious adverse outcomes mostly occur due to delays in the recognition and management of massive PPH. Shock index (SI) has been proposed as an early diagnostic indicator to monitor PPH women.
Aims and objectives: To study SI as a predictor of maternal outcome in PPH patients.
Patients and methods: This retrospective study was conducted over a duration of 1year (January 2021- December 2021) on the cohort of patients having PPH at the department of obstetrics and gynecology at a tertiary care hospital in northern India. The Age, parity, number of pregnancies, booked/unbooked pregnancy, singleton/multiple pregnancies, mode of delivery (vaginal or caesarean section), SI, blood transfusions, type and severity of PPH, type of management- medical/surgical, ICU admissions and maternal outcomes were recorded.
Results: This study included a total of 105 women with PPH for analysis. 43.8% of patients had severe PPH and required massive blood transfusion > 4 units while 40% required ICU admission. 68 patients had S.I>0.9 while 46 patients had S.I>1.1. The value of S.I>1.1 correlated significantly with all studied adverse outcomes like ICU admission, massive blood loss, massive blood transfusion, and need for surgical intervention(p value<0.05). SI value of ≥1.1 had maximum sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion: The shock index seems to be an easy, practical, and effective clinical method for predicting adverse outcomes objectively in postpartum hemorrhage patients. Our study suggests a cut-off value of 1.1 for predicting adverse clinical outcomes.
Power Conditioner Design and Control for a Grid-Connected Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
Authors: Hosseinpour Majid , Sabetfar Tooraj , Dejamkhooy Abdolmajid
Published: February 2023

In this paper, the design, control and stability analysis of the inverter-based power conditioner - which is connected to the low voltage grid via an LCL filter - is presented to manage the power flow of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). Since the PEMFC-generated voltage is lower than the grid voltage, a DC-DC converter is utilized to increase the PEMFC output voltage. The LCL filter is employed to improve the injected current quality and to reduce the inverter output voltage distortions. This filter can cause resonance and system instability. The current double feedback control method, which uses inverter side and grid side currents as feedback current, is suggested to dampen the resonance and improve harmonic eliminations. The suggested power conditioner system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to verify the model performance and the suggested control method. The obtained results show i) good performance of the suggested system in managing PEMFC power flow into the grid, ii) high quality of the injected current and iii) system stability against the grid impedance change disturbances.
Effect of Humidity on the Generation Capacity of Floating Solar Photovoltaic System
Authors: Goswami Anik
Published: February 2023

The continual search for new sources of renewable energy has resulted in the progress of floating solar photovoltaics (FSP). Since FSP system design and implementation are still in their early stages, efficiency, output and performance studies of FSP systems are not adequately acknowledged. FSPs operate on water; hence their performance differs from that of their equivalent land-based photovoltaics (LBP). The effect of water and humidity on the performance of FSP systems is not adequately discussed in the literature. Therefore, this paper investigates the effect of water - especially humidity - on the parameters and overall operation of FSP systems. For this purpose, an experiment is conducted with an FSP module, and the data obtained - over five months – are compared with similar LBP modules to determine the impact of water on the performance of the FSP system. The obtained results show that the FSP system is cooler than the LBP system by 7 ℃. The relative humidity (RH) is found to be higher in the FSP system, and this impacted the performance ratio (PR) of the FSP system. Moreover, it is observed that - despite the fact that RH has an influence on the PR of the FSP system - the FSP system outperforms the LBP system in terms of energy output.

Published: February 2023

Multiple access interference (MAI) is one of the most important issues to consider in the design, implementation and operation of 5G systems using code division multiple access (CDMA) technique based on spread spectrum that offers a more flexible solution, compared to other techniques. Especially, it permits a much higher user bit rate, due to the bandwidth allocated to the emitted signal; thus, allowing very attractive multimedia services. In this paper, we develop the expressions of the detection probability, false alarm probability and the average acquisition time - in a direct sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) transmission system - using a serial search and taking into consideration MAI. The evolution of these parameters according to the signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) and the decision threshold leads to study performances of the system in terms of detection and average acquisition time. The obtained results reveal that the acquisition time decreases when the SNR increases. Additionally, it is found that the probability of detection increases when the threshold decreases, and increasing SNR it reaches a constant value for an SNR/chip around 0 dB for all thresholds.

The Role of Activated Charcoal in Prehospital Care
Authors: Jumaan Mohammed
Published: February 2023

Background: Administration of a single-dose activated charcoal (SDAC) is an effective method used for gastric decontamination and for other types of poisoning and overdose. This is only true when given within the first hour of poison ingestion as the effectivity of SDAC reduces over time. In addition, generally, not all patients are able to avail treatment within the specified period. Hence, multi-dose activated charcoal is regarded as a solution to a delayed process, although, no proof outweighs the use of SDAC. Objective: This study aimed to review and assess the adequacy of the past and current use of AC. The author also aimed to offer recommendations believed to be the best method to consider for prehospital care. Methods: The author conducted 6,337 online literature searches for this review, wherein seven papers met eligibility criteria for inclusion and analysis. Results: In this review, routine administration of AC in poisoning was found not related to the duration of hospital stay nor any other subsequent outcomes following poison ingestion. Further, this review did not establish that administration of AC could improve patient’s clinical outcome. Further research and clinical trials is required to determine the efficacy of this therapy to appropriate patients in the prehospital setting. Conclusion: Activated charcoal can be used to treat highly acute to life-threatening poisoning if it is administered within the first hour of ingestion. Further studies would be necessary to investigate if this would affect clinical outcome..

La démarche comporte une phase d’imprégnation en amont avec la réalisation de jeux de rôles en classe ayant permis de mobiliser les ressources langagières utiles préalablement à la visite (lexique, syntaxe), puis la visite réelle et la rédaction, en aval, d’un courriel rendant compte de ladite visite. Nous nous appuierons donc, dans cet article, sur une analyse du jeu de rôles mené et filmé, puis sur quelques photos de la visite ainsi que sur quelques activités réalisées a posteriori et sur une production écrite témoignant du retour d’une étudiante sur cette expérience. Nous nous intéresserons en particulier dans ce contexte, au rôle des sensations et émotions dans les apprentissages langagiers, aux liens entre cette expérience d’une langue « vive » et créativité.
Museum audio description as a foreign language learning tool
Authors: Bartolini Chiara
Published: February 2023

This contribution focuses on museum audio description (AD), originally intended as an access tool for people with visual impairments, in order to consider its potential for foreign language learning (FLL). Screen AD of films and videos has already been investigated as catering new groups, such as migrants and learners, and as a teaching activity for foreign language (FL) education. Likewise, this paper argues that museum AD may similarly be revisited as a didactic instrument to engage with people studying FLs (e.g. English), as part of both formal and informal learning. The benefits of museum AD for FLL will be discussed by analysing an example of a museum AD script in English and proposing a lesson plan comprising passive and active AD tasks.
Lingue di ricezione nei musei svizzeri

La visita di musei e siti storici/archeolo-gici, assieme ai concerti e al cinema, è la pratica culturale più diffusa nella popo-lazione residente in Svizzera. L’Indagine sulla lingua, la religione e la cultura (ILRC 2019) mostra che il 71% della popolazione ha visitato nel corso dell’anno almeno un museo, un’esposizione o una galleria. I visitatori più assidui di musei vivono nella regione francofona (74%), seguiti da chi vive nella regione tedescofona (70%) e in quella italofona (66%; fonte UST). Non abbiamo dati sulla mobilità delle persone da una regione all’altra, ma il turismo culturale è senz’altro un motivo forte per visitare un luogo, nonché un’importante occasione di contatto tra le comunità linguistiche.

Labour participation is a vital component of economic development because of its significance in influencing the well-being of individuals in an economy. As a result, this paper investigated how labour participation influences household consumption in the developing country of Nigeria. For simplicity, the paper used only the labour participation of the head of the household as a proxy for the labour participation of the whole household. The study made use of data extracted from the Nigerian Living Standard Survey (NLSS) carried out in 2018–2019 by the National Bureau of Statistics in conjunction with the World Bank. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics, linear regression, and logit models. The results showed that households whose head is self-employed consume less than those whose heads are unemployed, while households whose heads are employed consume significantly more than those whose heads are unemployed. The outcome for the self-employed contradicts the notion that unemployed household heads are likely to consume less than self-employed household heads.

The 10th-Century Arab Geographers Al-Istakhri and Ibn Hawqal on Qabq
Authors: Gizbulaev Magomed A.
Published: February 2023

For the first time in Russian historiography, this paper provides information on the 10th-century Qabq history through translation, commentary and comparative analysis of excerpts from the Arabic geographical work Kitab al-masalik wa-l-mamalik (The Book of Routes and Kingdoms) by al-Istakhri and from the account of the same title written by Ibn Hawqal, which concern the history of the Caucasus peoples. The data on polities, the Caspian Sea as well as on other localities of the Eastern Caucasus given by both authors significantly complement those supplied by preceding writers. The paper established that information on Qabq in the works by al-Istakhri and by Ibn Hawqal provided, respectively, in chapters Armenia, Arran and Azerbaijan and Khazar Sea coincides in general and varies only in some parts of the text. It is noteworthy that Ibn Hawqals text is much more detailed than that of al-Istakhri. Moreover, I used a critical approach to N.A. Karaulovs translation of excerpts from the above-mentioned works of al-Istakhri and Ibn Hawqal and established that his translation not only contains some stylistic flaws and interpretative errors, but also omits certain fragments from both Arabic texts. The results of this research will greatly enrich researchers understanding of the early medieval historical geography of Qabq. It can also be used to further the source studies for the writing of a medieval history of the Caucasus.

Entrepreneurship, which often involves learning about how to launch and expand a firm, is frequently considered a topic for students of business disciplines rather than technical students. At light of this, the study identified the elements that encouraged entrepreneurial interest among students studying bricklaying, block laying, and concrete in technical colleges in Katsina State. The 55 participants for the survey research study were 34 BBC students, 10 BBC teachers, and 9 administrators from the three Government Technical Colleges in Katsina State. The complete population was employed for the study due to the manageable size of the population, which is why the purposive sampling approach was used. A structured questionnaire designed by the researchers under the name Facilitating Entrepreneurship Interest Questionnaire (FEIQ) served as the data gathering tool. The instrument was evaluated by three specialists, and Cronbach Alpha yielded a reliability rating of 0.86. The mean and standard deviation were utilized to answer the study questions, and a 0.05 level of significance ANOVA was employed to test the null hypotheses. The results showed that: family background, student participation in entrepreneurship, exposure to entrepreneurship courses, low profit margin, and inability to identify business opportunity, lack of proper guidance in business, and lack of start-up capital are the factors influencing bricklaying/block laying and concrete students' interest in participating in entrepreneurship in Government Technical Colleges of Katsina State. To encourage and foster the spirit of entrepreneurship in the students, it was suggested that the National Education Research and Development Center create entrepreneurship curricula that would be taught as a standalone subject at technical colleges.
Linfagitis superficial reactiva a insecto: un camino por la vía linfática
Authors: López Juan Jaime Alejandro , Ricote Belinchón Mercedes , Martín Jiménez Victoria , Felizardo de Gouveia María
Published: February 2023

La linfangitis superficial aguda reactiva a picadura de insecto es una entidad poco descrita en la literatura. Se caracteriza por una inflamación de los conductos linfáticos debido a las toxinas inoculadas por el insecto. Se presenta como una lesión eritematosa ovalada en la zona de la picadura, que se extiende de manera lineal siguiendo el trayecto de un vaso linfático. El diagnóstico es clínico y el tratamiento sintomático. Es importante descartar la etiología infecciosa que puede confundirse con esta patología y cursar con elevada gravedad.

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 69 años, sin antecedentes personales de interés ni alergias conocidas, que acude a consulta por una lesión eritematosa, lineal y pruriginosa que por la anamnesis y la exploración podría ser una linfangitis aguda reactiva a insecto.

Palabras claves: linfangitis reactiva, picadura, insecto.

Quality improvement training during residency is a crucial component of post-graduate medical education and is one of the Association of American Medical Colleges Cross-Continuum Competencies and the six Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education domains of clinical competency. No national standard curriculum exists when it comes to training emergency medicine residents. A novel residency-focused QI curriculum was implemented to help emergency medicine residents develop foundational skills in QI and to translate these skills into practical projects that span multiple disciplines. The curriculum was effective, is readily adaptable to the resident physician and medical student levels, and supports the national trend toward implementing education in QI earlier in physician training.
