Cefoperazone and sulbactam-induced dyspnea and sinus tachycardia in a patient being treated for acute gastroenteritis
Authors: Singh Gursifti , Bhatti Neena , Kaur Prabhjot , Joseph Girish , Badyal Dinesh K.
Published: December 2024

Cefoperazone and sulbactam are commonly used third-generation cephalosporins used widely for the treatment of various bacterial infections. They are one of the most commonly used antibiotics in both hospitalized patients and outpatients. They have been associated with an increasing prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions, mediated by a varied array of immunopathologic mechanisms. Dyspnea is a fairly common manifestation of hypersensitivity reaction associated with cefoperazone and sulbactam use. However, the literature search revealed that there were very few cases where hypersensitivity manifested as sinus tachycardia, as was observed in this case. This case reports relatively underreported side effects of sinus tachycardia. This case was collected from the Medicine outpatient department as a part of the pharmacovigilance elective under the Department of Pharmacology, Christian Medical College (CMC) Ludhiana, which is an adverse drug reaction Monitoring Centre. Cephalosporins are a widely used group of drugs for the treatment of various infections. Very few cardiac adverse events (4%) have been reported with the suspected drug combination of cefoperazone and sulbactam. It is also very important to understand the mechanism for sinus tachycardia, which is occurring due to antibiotic use, as antibiotics are one of the most commonly misused drugs and can lead to unreported cardiac complications. Hence, reporting of cardiac events associated with antibiotic use is of utmost importance.

Authors: Farjadzadeh Esmail , Safaie Mohsen , Abdoli Leila
Published: December 2024

The stomach contents of Pomadasys stridens were studied monthly in the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan province) from October 2020 to October 2021. The stomach contents analysis of 591 fish included a wide variety of food items such as bony fish, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, plant materials, annelid worms, and miscellaneous materials. Although the food component percentage differed marginally between sexes, it was not statistically significant (P=0.19). The vacuity index revealed that P. stridens is a gluttonous species (19.5 %) and the amount of this index was not significantly different in both sexes, length classes, or months. The food preference varied by size: in younger fish, the dominant food item was fish prey, followed by unknown materials, crustaceans, and plant material, and in larger fish (often including sex-determined fish), the food preference shifted to mostly molluscs, crustaceans, and mixed food groups. These preferences also differed significantly across sexes and months (P<0.05). The Penaeid shrimps made up a major portion of P. stridens` diet. Therefore, any change in the stocks of each prey and their predators can have a significant effect on their exploitation potential in the region.

Published: December 2024

The evolution in our understanding of the notion of 'working' has evolved into a spatially diverse spectrum over the last decades. The era of increasing new definition of working enabling collaboration, knowledge sharing and socializing among users is worth of attention in terms of contextual use. Since the popularity of coworking spaces has increased over years, the variation of use contexts is gradually increasing. Thus, it becomes clearly important for designers to take the phenomenon of target users in specific co-working places into account throughout the design process. This study explores the effects of user participation and limits of actor diversity, with an approach focusing spesifically on the university campus area within the new emerging contextual diversity. User participation design method has been tested in the bachelor degree architectural design studio in the Department of Architecture in Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University. The purpose of this study is providing the understanding of the relationship between design process and behavioral patterns with the knowledge obtained through data collection based on user preferences and final versions of the projects.
Liquid Metaphor in Becoming Animal by David Abram: A Transmodern Perspective Entangled with Phenomenological Insights
Authors: Walek Agata
Published: December 2024

Becoming Animal (2010) by David Abram represents a significant contribution to eco-phenomenological literature. The work describes how, by focusing on the aspect of becoming animal, i.e., tuning our senses to the pulse of the Earth, we can become fully human. The main point of the present paper is to explore the figurative language so abundantly used by the author to determine how it can play a part in opening our senses and helping us to engage with extra-linguistic reality. One recurring theme in the work is interbeing and the fluidity among all participants, a premise which influenced the selection of transmodern concepts as one of my analytical approaches. My examination of figuration is supported by conceptual metaphor theory enriched by the embodied phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and his descriptions of how the body plays a crucial role in the creation of metaphorical expressions. The exploration of imagery reveals that metaphor exhibits not only transmodern movement across signs and extra-linguistic reality but is liquid in itself, featuring the potential for free, spirited reversibility, as well as oscillation between metaphorical analogy and literal meaning.

Published: December 2024

Intra Uterine Fetal Death ( IUFD ) results from various disorders of the mother, fetus, and placenta. This study aimed to explore factors contributing to IUFD, knowing the risk factors will prevent this case in the future time. In 2016-2018, patients diagnosed with IUFD at 22 weeks of gestation were included. One hundred twenty-five patients with IUFD and 125 controls with alive fetuses were enrolled. Data were collected from the medical records of participants. Factors that may have contributed to IUFD were explored. Comparisons between various risk factors and outcomes of the two groups were made. P-value was statistically significant if  ≤0.05. We found several factors that contribute to IUFD. Some factors like BMI, ANC provider, referred from tertiary health facility, and congenital anomaly increased the risk of IUFD by 2.86, 5.86, 6.26  and 9.45 times respectively. In contrast, some factors like a number of ANC ≥ 6 times and gestational age >36 weeks decrease the risk of IUFD. Regular and intensive ANC ≥ 6 times during pregnancy, number of pregnancy and gestational age ≥ 36 weeks significantly decreases the risk of IUFD with OR 0.12, 0.4, and 0.23 respectively. High-quality ANC to identify IUFD risk factors may lead to a significant decrease in its occurrences. Some factors like BMI, ANC provider, referred from tertiary health facility, and congenital anomaly increased the risk of IUFD, but Number of ANC≥ 6 times, number of pregnancy ≥2 and gestational age ≥36 weeks can reduce risk of IUFD.

Authors: Chorfi Sofiane , Hamadi Billel , Achour Toufik
Published: December 2024

The orthotropic materials are of a great importance and interest in the field of the modern industrial technologies’ applications such as: mechanics, aeronautics, civil engineering and biomechanics due to their hardness, their lightness and their super elasticity. During their working operation and under the effect of the external efforts, these materials can be submitted to cracks or ruptures which can cause disaster of their structure. In order to avoid these types of problems, the analysis of these materials is necessary in order to predict their mechanical characteristics and thus to augment their lifespan. This analysis is based essentially on the internal structure of material, its geometry, its boundary conditions and the external applied conditions. Our work consists of the analysis of the static and dynamic behavior of thin orthotropic bi- dimensional plates under the effect of external efforts using the numerical methods and of modulating based on the finite element methods. The strain and stress in any node of the orthotropic plate have been found for various types of loading (random and harmonic), with and without damping comparatively with those of an isotropic plate of the same dimension. And good effectiveness and reliabilities of the mechanical properties of the orthotropic plate were observed compared to those of orthotropic one.

Published: December 2024

Globalleşen dünya çapında yoğunlaşan ekonomik ilişkiler sonucu artan ticari ilişkiler doğal olarak beraberinde birtakım uyuşmazlıklar da getirmiştir. Ticari uyuşmazlıkların çözümünde geleneksel yöntemlerin zaman alıcı ve maliyetli olması nedeniyle günümüzde ekonomik ilişkilerde daha hızlı, daha az masraflı ve ticaret hayatının kesintisiz şekilde devamını sağlayacak nitelikte alternatif çözümler bulma arayışı doğmuştur. Ticari uyuşmazlık çözümünde ticari itibarın ve mevcut ticari ilişkinin korunması için niteliği en uygun ve dünyada en çok tercih edilen alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yolunun, tahkim kurumu olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de ticari uyuşmazlıkların çözümünde tahkim farkındalığını ölçmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ticari uyuşmazlıkların artan karmaşıklığı ve küresel ticaretteki hızlı gelişmelere paralel alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yollarına olan ilgiyi artırmasına rağmen Türkiye için aynı durum söz konusu olamamıştır. O nedenle Türkiye’de tahkimin kurumsallaşması ve kullanım yaygınlığı yeterince gelişmemiştir. Bu bağlamda, çalışma kapsamında ticaret şirketleri nezdinde tahkim farkındalığına dair bir anket uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma, tahkimin bilinirliği, etkinliği, tercih edilebilirliği ve geleceği gibi dört ana boyutta değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre, tahkimin bilinirliği ve etkinliği konusunda cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve yaş gibi demografik faktörlerin etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak, tahkimin geleceği ve tercih edilebilirliği açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Bu bulgular, tahkim farkındalığını artırmaya yönelik stratejilerin özellikle eğitim ve bilgilendirme faaliyetleri ile güçlendirilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Hız, gizlilik ve maliyet avantajları gibi ticari uyuşmazlıkların etkin çözümünde önemli bir yeri olan tahkimin, farkındalık artırıcı çalışmalarla daha fazla benimsenmesi sağlanabilecektir.

Published: December 2024

In recent earthquakes it Is observed that the beam column joint is more exposed to lateral loads due to which the joints undergoes severe deformations leading to yielding of the joints and the overall structure. . Poor design practices for beam-column joints are compounded by the high demand imposed by adjacent flexural members (beams and columns) as they mobilize their inelastic capabilities to dissipate load energy. Unsafe design and details in the joint region put the entire structure at risk, even if other structural elements meet the design requirements. Therefore the new material that is basalt rebar is used as reinforcement to observe the structural behaviour of the beam column joint. The experiment is conducted and the results are taken. The comparative study is done by using both steel specimens and basalt reinforced specimens. The detailing is done as per the seismic codes. The results are tabulated and graph is plotted.
From Pulpit to Everyday Speech: The Social and Linguistic Impact of Pentecostalism in Nigerian
Authors:   Institute of Humanities, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Ogechi (PhD) Ekechi Jemimah
Published: December 2024

Nigerian Pentecostalism has emerged as a significant social and cultural force, wielding substantial influence over many aspects of daily life, including language use. The movement has contributed not only to the rise of new lexical expressions that reinforce religious dogmatism in a restrictive sense, but also has fecundated their pervasive deployments in social discourse, in a non-restrictive sense. Through innovative media, Pentecostal ideology—particularly in warfare prayer forms and vernacular—has permeated society, allowing everyday people to adopt these expressions in popular culture to convey various ideologies and identities. This study examines how ordinary Nigerians use these expressions as tools of offense and defense against perceived threats to their progress as well as a means of engagement and socialization. Analytical in nature, the study employs Norman Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis and draws on data from participant observations and unstructured interviews. The findings show that the adoption of Pentecostal language and expressions reflects the changing sociocultural landscape and the influence of religious movements on societal norms and values. Both language and religion are shown to be fundamental instruments in the development of human society.
Language, Identity, and Belonging: The Challenges of the “Lost Songhays” In Navigating Cultural Expectations
Authors:   Université des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines de Bamako (ULSHB), Maiga Ibrahim
Published: December 2024

In southern Mali, individuals of mixed Songhay heritage who lack proficiency in their family language are often labeled “Lost Songhays.” This study investigates how these Lost Songhays navigate their cultural identity and the social challenges associated with not speaking Songhay, especially within the dominant Bambara-speaking environment of Bamako. Based on interviews with 46 participants, the findings reveal that while 86% identify strongly as Songhay, their inability to speak the language results in social stigma and feelings of alienation. Participants report a deep sense of regret over not learning Songhay, and they often face community reminders of this gap, which reinforce feelings of exclusion. Despite these challenges, some participants attempt to learn the language, though many lack effective support. These findings suggest a need for Songhay parents in mixed-ethnic households to foster language retention to help future generations maintain their cultural ties.

The increasing complexity of business competition has forced almost all organizations to place human resources as an important instrument for improve the quality of products and services. Innovation capability, government support and work performance is an important factor that is suspected to affect the optimal collection of zakat funds from muzaki. Even though innovation has been carried out digital related to zakat socialization and BAZNAS fundraising, but the performance of collecting Zakat funds have not been optimal, which is marked by the low participation and awareness of the muzaki to distribute zakat, infaq and shadaqah. Low engagement employees, poor Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and low The ability to innovate and the lack of government support are suspected to have contributed to to this problem. This study uses a correlational method with Quantitative approach, samples were drawn by a stratified random method of 284 from 580 population of West Kalimantan BAZNAS employees. Data analysis using SEM-PLS. The results of the study show that Work Engagement has an influence significant positive on Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Job Performance, either directly or indirectly. Perception of Government Support, Although important, it does not function effectively as a moderation variable in the relationship between Innovation Capability Perception and Job Performance. Implication: These findings contribute to the literature on zakat management and the non-profit, providing new insights into how internal factors and externals contribute to the effectiveness of the organization. In addition, these results trigger the need for theoretical and managerial revisons, particularly in the context of effectiveness government support as a moderation variable. Limitations: This study is limited in a specific geographical and organizational context, namely BAZNAS in Kalimantan Province West, and does not include other variables that may be influential, such as culture organization or leadership. In addition, cross-time research limits the ability to make causal inferences or identify trends over time.

Molds are heterotrophic organisms with cell walls composed of chitin and exhibit a cosmopolitan nature. Molds have functional structures and enzymatic activities that make them potentially useful for further applications. One such application is addressing the plastic waste problem at the Piyungan Waste Management Site (TPST Piyungan). Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the potential of mold isolates from TPST Piyungan in degrading LDPE plastic waste. The isolation was carried out using the serial dilution method with plastic samples obtained from two stations in the Transition Zone of TPST Piyungan. The isolation results yielded eight mold isolates, namely suspected Cunninghamella sp., Cladosporium sp., Penicillium sp.1, Aspergillus sp., Scopulariopsis sp., Penicillium sp.2, Penicillium sp.3, and Nigrospora sp.. The potential of these isolates as biodegradation agents was analyzed through a degradation test, which showed that the suspected Penicillium sp.3 isolate produced the highest percentage of biodegradation, making this isolate the most effective for degrading LDPE plastic.
A “Strange” Hypocalcemia
Authors:   U O C Internal Medicine, A O R N “San Pio”, Benevento, Italy, Giuseppe Panza
Published: December 2024

Background: Gitelman syndrome is a rare salt-losing tubulopathy
(A), autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes reduced
reabsorption of NaCl in the distal convoluted tubule (Figure
1). It is characterized by metabolic alkalosis, hypocalcemia,
hypomagnesemia and low levels of calcium in the urine.
Case History: M. C. aged 77, suffering from chronic ischemic
heart disease, systemic arterial hypertension, pulmonary
emphysema, renal lithiasis; following dizziness, headache and
tremors he repeatedly enters the emergency room and performs
several specialists visits that place diagnosis of “Epileptic seizures
in the course of hypocalcemia”. He returns to the emergency
room again for the onset of unspecified tremors, dizziness and
nausea. CT brain scan, CT abdomen scan, neurological and
nephrological consultation are performed. Clinically presents
generalized convulsions; blood chemistry tests show calcium 5.6
mg/dl, magnesium 0.4 mg/dl, urinary calcium <60 mg/24h, pH
7.50. Following intravenous administration of calcium gluconate
and magnesium sulfate and normalization of blood levels of serum
electrolytes, does not present additional convulsive manifestations.
Discussion: Reduced sodium reabsorption generates an increase
in aldosterone secretion and onset of metabolic alkalosis, the
contraction of plasma volume causes hypocalciuria. Hypocalcemia
is a consequence of hypomagnesemia which is itself the cause of
reduced functionality of parathormone and vitamin D [1].

„Hier ist kein Warum!“ Zum Verschwinden des historischen Sinns während der Shoah und des Tutsizids in Ruanda
Authors: PEITER Anne D.
Published: December 2024

Based on autobiographical testimonies in which witnesses of the Shoah and the Rwandan tutsicide
provide information about themselves, the article endeavours to determine the didactic
opportunities that lie in the difficulty of approaching genocidal crimes and their extreme,
“normally” incomprehensible atrocities with the question of “why?”. Following Raul Hilberg's
research, who considered it possible to reconstruct the events that led to the Shoah, but not to
answer this question, the danger is emphasised that the lack of understanding on the part of those
who experienced the respective catastrophe will open the door to negationist positions. But in
reality, not understanding can also become a stimulus for dealing with a central question. On the
one hand, the call of “Never again!” has characterised the period after the Shoah. On the other
hand, this call could not be realised in 1994. New, comparative teaching content must therefore be
included in lessons that is more seriously geared towards the idea of prevention. Tutsicide should
therefore be seen as a supplement to the study of the Shoah.

How ELT Teacher Trainees Formulate Aims
Authors:   Technical University of Liberec, KOUTSKÁ Iva , PELDOVÁ Petra ,   Technical University of Liberec
Published: December 2024

Stating an aim is a vital skill for planning effective teaching.
Nonetheless, it is a skill one has to develop consciously. Teacher trainees
learn how to formulate aims during their teacher training and validate their
aim design in their teaching practice. Yet, they face several problems when
stating an aim. The thematic analysis of aims written by English language
teaching (ELT) bachelor and master teacher trainees at the Technical
University of Liberec is used to define clusters of aspects that their aim
designs consist of. The thematic analysis is followed by subsequent
Spearman’s correlation coefficients’ statistics and Excel computations to
analyse the frequency of those aspects in order to compare ELT bachelor and
master teacher trainees’ aim designs and the potential impact of teaching
experience on the ability to design an aim. These results are contrasted to a
preferable aim design description according to the theory. The study results
show that the aspects the respondents struggle with most are concreteness
and student-orientedness, i.e. their aims are stated in vague language and
are teacher-centred.
