Laparoskopik Bilateral Tubal Ligasyon Operasyonu Sonrasında İzlenen Rüptüre Dış Gebelik Olgusu Sunumu
Authors: SAHİN Bugra , CURA ŞAHİN Gizem
Published: March 2023

İstenmeyen gebelikleri önlemek için çeşitli kontraseptif yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemlerin hiçbiri yüzde yüz olarak gebelikten koruma sağlamamakla beraber, bu yöntemler doğru olarak uygulanmadığında ise kümülatif olarak gebelik oranlarını yıllara göre artırdığı gösterilmiştir. Bu yöntemlerden biri olan tubal ligasyon sonrası da ender olarak gebelik izlenebilir. Tubal ligasyon, kalıcı ve kesin bir yöntem olarak tanımlanan kontraseptif bir yöntemdir. Tubal ligasyon olgularının yaklaşık yarısı postpartum dönemde sezaryen veya normal doğum sonrası yapılmaktadır. Ancak gebelik tespit edildiğinde öncelikle ektopik gebelik olasılığı akılda tutulmalıdır. Kliniğimize daha önceden laparoskopik bilateral tubal ligasyon ameliyatı sonrası akut karın şikayeti ile başvuran bir hastada gelişmiş rüptüre ektopik gebelik olgusu sunuldu.

Published: March 2023

The majority of the current research on sentiment analysis, which covers topics like political reviews, movie reviews, and product reviews, has developed quickly. The classification and clustering stage of sentiment analysis research involves a number of subjects. Some of them cover text classification comparison research and algorithm performance optimization. An intricate issue in sentiment analysis research is dealing with unstructured or semi-structured data. The sentiment analysis procedure and improving the efficacy of the classifier’s algorithm are both hampered by unstructured data. In order to manage unstructured data successfully and provide accurate and relevant information, unique strategies are required. The proposed classification model performance evaluation using Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Decision Tree is specifically covered in this paper. According to the study’s findings, SVM has an accuracy rate of 96% and Naive Bayes is 86%. While the decision tree’s gain accuracy is 78 percent and the kNN classification model’s gain accuracy is 78 percent, respectively. The test results demonstrate that SVM is superior to other classification models in terms of accuracy performance.
Image Pair Comparison for Near-duplicates Detection
Authors: Gorokhovatskyi Oleksii , Peredrii Olena
Published: March 2023

The paper describes the search for a solution to the image near-duplicate detection problem. We assume that there are only two images to compare and classify whether they are near-duplicates. There are some traditional methods to match pair of images, and the evaluation of the most famous of them in terms of the problem is performed in this research. The effective thresholds to separate near-duplicate classes are found during experimental modeling using the INRIA Holidays dataset. The sequence of methods is proposed to make the joint decision better in terms of accuracy. It is shown also that the accuracy of binary classification of the proposed approach for the combination of the histogram comparison and ORB descriptors matching is about 85% for both near-duplicate and not near-duplicate pairs of images. This is compared to the existing methods, and it is shown, that the accuracy of more powerful methods, based on deep learning, is better, but the speed of the proposed method is higher.
Practical Study on Software Requirements Specification and Modelling Techniques
Authors: Gobov Denys
Published: March 2023

The quality of specified and modeled requirements is critical for IT project success. A significant number of specialized techniques are used for documenting the requirements. The selection of the appropriate technique considerably influences a project plan and the success of a change as a whole. This paper aims to examine practitioners’ industrial standards and experience in the requirements specification activities and identify factors influencing the choice of specific techniques. To get the data from business analysis practitioners, we carried out a survey involving 328 specialists from Ukrainian IT companies and a series of interviews with experts. A list of specification and modelling techniques is selected based on international standards and bodies of knowledge. Project context and participants’ background inﬂuence on the probability of particular technique selection are analyzed. A set of dependencies are identiﬁed using the Chi-Square test for association and Cramer’s V. Results can be used as guidelines for building a framework for business analysis techniques selection in IT projects.
Cooking PaPa: An Online Application Helps Removing the Barrier Between Modern Generation and Cooking
Authors: Khan Mohd Tauheed , Hoang Trang , Nguyen Vuong , Truong Tuan , Nguyen Tuan
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased interest in home-cooked meals as people have had more time for themselves and their families. Cooking at home is considered safer and has resulted in a significant rise in the number of people preparing their own food. Only 7.0 percent cooked less frequently during the lockdown, while 42.0 percent cooked more frequently. Women were particularly affected by this trend. More time was spent on meal preparation, trying new recipes, and baking among those who cooked more often. The consumption of comfort foods like sweets and salty snacks has seen a notable increase, with a significant percentage of respondents reporting increased snacking. Unfortunately, this change in eating habits, combined with reduced physical activity, has raised concerns about weight gain. To address the growing interest in home cooking and the need for new recipes and balanced meals, the idea for a cooking app called “Cooking Papa” has been proposed. This app aims to simplify home-cooked meals by providing clear instructions and encouraging users to explore new dishes in its database. The definition of cooking varies among individuals, and terms like homemade, convenience, proper cooking, cook, basic ingredients, and ready prepared are not universally understood. Cooking is seen as a complex concept, influenced by factors like heat, fresh ingredients, and convenience meals. While convenience foods are popular, scratch cooking is highly valued. Lack of time and cost are major obstacles, and effective meal planning and organization are essential. Disruptive events like the pandemic can change people’s perspectives on cooking. Most individuals tend to remain in their current state, with some shifting towards more positive or negative views on shopping and cooking. Those most impacted by the pandemic are at a higher risk of transitioning between states. Overall, the pandemic has prompted some individuals to rediscover their love for home cooking and home-cooked meals.

El “Scenopoites” en el patio. Crear/diseñar el espacio de juego a través del análisis y la práctica artística
Authors: Hernández Muñoz Silvia , López Alonso Francisco
Published: March 2023

El patio, antropológicamente, el centro vital y social de las casas, también lo es en las escuelas. Sin embargo, aunque contamos con múltiples intervenciones en patios públicos y privados, no son muchas las que se realizan en los colegios. El proyecto que exponemos a continuación tiene como objetivos repensar y diseñar el espacio de juego, acercar el arte a: docentes, alumnos, familias y barrio. Exponemos diversas metodologías en las que intervienen arquitectos y diseñadores y referenciamos algunos artistas que reflexionan e intervienen en el patio escolar dotándolo de valores artísticos, repensando la relación de las personas con el mismo y motivando al cambio. Analizamos las dinámicas de juego en relación con las metodologías activas y las aplicamos al espacio exterior buscando la motivación empática hacia el arte y la enseñanza que pueda realizarse en este espacio. Entendemos el geoespacio del patio como un lugar donde los niños desarrollen su sensibilidad artística con fines artísticos, no sólo pedagógicos. También un espacio donde la obra propia es intervenida con juegos, ruidos, bailes, acciones… y donde al mismo tiempo se favorece la diversión y el desarrollo de metodologías así como el disfrute del espacio en sí mismo. Finalmente presentamos una propuesta de intervención en proceso y sus resultados.
Les horizons de Le Corbusier. Vers un dépassement de la modernité
Authors: Cattant Julie
Published: March 2023

Le Corbusier était hanté par l’horizon. Bien que méconnue, cette obsession n’a très probablement pas d’équivalent dans le monde de l’architecture. Les occurrences de l’horizon dans l’œuvre corbuséenne sont innombrables et concernent aussi bien son œuvre graphique que ses écrits et ses projets construits. Leitmotiv qui parcourt l’ensemble de son œuvre, l’horizon permet de découvrir autrement l’architecture corbuséenne. En tant qu’objet d’étude, il agit comme un prisme de lecture qui met au jour ce qui est dans l’ombre. Limite qui met en tension des opposés (terre/ciel, haut/bas, proche/lointain, vertical/horizontal, visible/invisible...), l’horizon dévoile les ambivalences et les paradoxes qui caractérisent l’œuvre corbuséenne. Il permet de dépasser le discours doctrinal de l’architecte pour faire place à un discours implicite qui rassemble le rationnel et le poétique. C’est ici l’occasion de mettre à l’épreuve les critiques qui associent l’œuvre de Le Corbusier au dualisme moderne, compris comme représentation du monde occidental issue des Temps Modernes.

Estimation of grass biomass consumed by rabbits housed in movable paddocks
Authors: Plagnet Anne-Sophie , Bannelier Carole , Fillon Valerie , Savietto Davi
Published: March 2023

Biomass allowance is a key feature in pasture-based rabbit production systems. It conditions not only the stock density (rabbits/m²) and/or the number of grazing days, it also influences the grazing behaviour of animals. When herbage restriction occurs, pelleted feed and/or cereal intake goes up. Inadequate pasture management may also impair the biomass quantity and quality if overgrazing occurs. To avoid the undesirable effects of overgrazing and better manage pellet and cereal intake, information on both biomass availability and rabbits’ grazing capacity are needed. Here, we present an adaptation of the rising plate meter method (developed for biomass intake measures for ruminants) for use in rabbit. To this end, we designed an experiment where two groups of 12 rabbits each were kept in two different fields: under an apple orchard (AO) or on fallow land (FL). We followed the animals for 5 consecutive weeks (from 45 to 80 d old). Rabbits lived in 25 m² movable paddocks, and every week a new paddock location (called paddock-spot) was made available for them. At each new paddock-spot, we measured the herbage height inside the paddocks and performed samplings of the available biomass (i.e. herbage cut after herbage height measurement) outside the paddocks. From this data we estimated the available biomass inside each paddock-spot by fitting linear regression equations of biomass to herbage height. Overall, rabbits in the AO and FL had access to 1328±65.7 and 1386±58.6 kg of dry matter (DM) per ha, respectively. In every field and paddock-spot, the biomass available was lower than the rabbits’ grazing capacity; overgrazing was the rule. Roughly, and under a restricted herbage allowance, rabbits in the AO ingested 45.2 g DM/d and rabbits in the FL 43.4 g DM/d. In the last week (64 to 80 d old), the biomass intake of rabbits in the AO and AL represented 26.4 and 23.5% of the total DM intake, respectively. These values, however, does not represent the real grazing capacity of growing rabbits. In this study, we provide some advice on the sampling method to obtain reliable biomass estimations and we mention two methods for handling influential observations in linear regression.

The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between kit birth weight and litter size with kit survival from birth to weaning, and to estimate the effects of place of birth, nest quality, cannibalism, lactation, parity order, season and sex. A total of 1696 kits from 82 females of the ITLEV2006 synthetic line were used in this study. A logistic regression was performed. Kit birth weight was directly related to the probability of the kit’s survival from birth to weaning, and increasing birth weight by one gram increased the likelihood of kit survival by 8% to 10% (P<0.001). In line with the decrease in birth weight of kits as the number of kits at birth increases, litter size showed a negative relationship to the probability of survival from birth to weaning, and increasing the litter by one kit at birth decreased the probability of survival of the kits by 5% to 9% (P<0.05). Regarding effects, cannibalism events in the litter decreased the probability of survival of the kits in the first week of life (P<0.01). Being born in the cage decreased the probability of survival of the kits from birth to weaning, and kits born outside the nest had a lower chance of survival than those born inside the nest (P<0.01). The order of parturition had a positive effect on probability of survival of the kits from 5 days of age to weaning (P<0.05). Female kits had a lower chance of survival than male kits, but only until 5 days of age (P<0.01). The lactation status displayed a negative effect on the probability of survival of the kits in the first week of life, and kits gestated in lactating females had a lower chance of survival than those gestated in non-lactating females (P<0.05). In conclusion, the probability of kit survival in the first days after parturition was affected mainly by its weight at birth, litter size, cannibalism events, place of birth of kit, parity order, sex and lactation status, while the probability of kit survival at weaning was directly related to its weight at birth, litter size, place of birth of kit and parity order.

Resenha do livro “The Analogy between States and International Organizations”, de Fernando Lusa Bordin
Authors: Guerra Juliana Valle Pereira
Published: March 2023

A obra é apresentada em três Partes. Num primeiro momento (Parte I), Bordin explica os fundamentos da tese defendida segundo a qual Estados e Organizações Internacionais (OIs) possuem similaridades relevantes que permitem a extensão por analogia de certos conjuntos de regras do direito internacional público dos Estados para as OIs. O autor começa pela explicação das bases teóricas do raciocínio analógico no âmbito jurídico (Capítulo 1), para em seguida justificar a pertinência de argumentar pela analogia entre Estados e organizações internacionais (Capítulo 2). Na segunda parte do livro (Parte II), Bordin confronta as objeções que poderiam ser formuladas à sua tese. Primeiramente, as diferenças estruturais existentes entre os Estados e as OIs (Capítulo 3). Em seguida, o tratamento diferencial que é dado às OIs no direito internacional enquanto sujeitos derivados (Capítulo 4), e, por fim, o fato que de as OIs, ao contrário dos Estados, não são sujeitos unitários, mas fragmentados (Capítulo 5). O fechamento do livro (Parte III) dá-se com a explicação dos limites da analogia. Bordin argumenta que a analogia, embora relevante para a explicação de um grande número de circunstâncias, tem, também certos limites e deve ser circunscrita às relações estabelecidas por OIs no plano internacional, mas não no plano institucional (Capítulo 6). Em seguida, Bordin explora os limites da aplicação da analogia no tocante a normas primarias e secundárias (Capítulo 7).
Transthoracic needle biopsy for diagnosis of lung cancer
Authors: Park Dongil
Published: March 2023

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide and accounts for approximately 2 million deaths annually. Despite advances in lung biopsy methods using bronchoscopy, a transthoracic needle biopsy continues to be used widely owing to its excellent accessibility and cost-effectiveness.Current Concepts: Various guidance methods are used during a transthoracic needle biopsy to guide the biopsy needle toward the target lesion. Commonly used modalities include conventional computed tomography, computed tomography fluoroscopy, cone beam computed tomography, and ultrasonography. Complications of a transthoracic needle biopsy include pneumothorax (20.0%), hemorrhage or hemoptysis (11.0%), delayed pneumothorax (1.4%–4.5%), air embolism (0.02%–1.8%), and tumor seeding (0.12%–0.061%).Discussion and Conclusion: Careful selection of the guidance method and needle type, based on the risk factors, the patient’s condition, and location of the lesion is important to achieve high accuracy and low complication rates during a transthoracic needle biopsy. If possible, the bronchoscopic approach should initially be attempted in high-risk groups.
The diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions: transbronchial biopsy using a radial probe endobronchial ultrasound
Authors: Eom Jung Seop
Published: March 2023

Background: Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) has been used in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PLLs). We reviewed the traditional modality of transbronchial biopsy using RP-EBUS as well as recent developments in improving the diagnostic yield.Current Concepts: Until now, the forceps biopsy of PLLs has played a key role in acquiring tissue samples during the RP-EBUS procedures. Forceps biopsy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure; however, its diagnostic yield was reported to be around 70%, which is significantly lower than that of percutaneous needle aspiration or biopsy. So far, various studies have been conducted to improve the diagnostic yield of the RP-EBUS procedure. The combination of novel navigation systems, such as virtual or electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopies, for locating PLLs in the complex bronchial tree has increased the diagnostic yield of the RP-EBUS procedure. Moreover, newly developed ancillary devices, such as the PeriView FLEX needle or cryobiopsy, as well as traditional modalities such as the guide sheath and brushing cytology, can improve the outcomes of the RP-EBUS procedures. Concerning the bronchoscope size, it has been confirmed that a 3 mm-diameter ultrathin bronchoscope has a higher diagnostic yield than a 4 mm-diameter thin bronchoscope.Discussion and Conclusion: RP-EBUS is a safe and useful method to diagnose PLLs. When traditional and novel modalities are appropriately combined, the diagnostic yield can be increased.
Acceso a los servicios de salud de comunidades indígenas en Perú
Authors: Iglesias-Osores Sebastian , Saavedra-Camacho Johnny Leandro
Published: March 2023

El continente americano sigue siendo uno de los más desiguales del mundo en cuanto a servicios médicos integrales. La pobreza, el hacinamiento en los hogares y el saneamiento deficiente han retrasado el desarrollo de la región. En Perú, la región selvática se ha visto más afectada por este gran problema ya que hay sectores en los cuales habitan nativos que no cuentan con servicios de salud adecuados y padecen de diversas enfermedades. Si los servicios están disponibles y hay una oferta adecuada de ellos, entonces existe la oportunidad de obtener atención médica adecuada, sobre todo a los poblados indígenas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir la accesibilidad a los servicios de salud en las comunidades indígenas de Perú. Para dicho propósito se revisó el Tercer Censo de Comunidades Nativas del año 2017 y se tomaron los datos de los tipos de establecimientos de salud en las comunidades indígenas, los datos de a quien consultan en caso de accidentes o enfermedades, los datos de práctica de medicina tradicional aplicada y los datos las enfermedades y accidentes más comunes que ocurren en las mencionadas comunidades.
Will the Revolution Be Televised? Party Organization, Media Activism, and the Communication Strategies of Left-Wing Governments in Latin America
Authors: Resmini Fabio
Published: March 2023

How do parties respond to media environments slanted against them? This article exploits variation in the level of media activism of Latin American left-wing governments to answer this question. I argue that the composition of governing parties' bases of support shapes their communication strategy. While parties with unorganized supporters lack societal channels of communication with the electorate and are forced to resort to alternative media structures to disseminate information, parties with organized supporters communicate through affiliated societal organizations and do not depend on mediatized communication. To illustrate this theory, I process trace the cases of Ecuador and Bolivia, drawing on seventy original interviews with key decisionmakers. This article contributes to the literature on political parties by highlighting the overlooked communication function they fulfill.
Struggling over Serra do Curral
Authors: Carneiro Ricardo , De Paula Duque Brasil Flávia , Magalhães Bruno Dias , De Oliveira Lazzarotti Diniz Clara
Published: March 2023

The Serra do Curral is a mountain range that extends to the municipalities of Belo Horizonte, Sabará and Nova Lima, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. It is already deteriorated by a long history of mineral extraction not followed by any environmental restoration. Since the 1960’s, Serra do Curral has been an object of many civil society collective actions calling for its preservation. In 2022, the authorization of new mining operation provoked a strong civil society reaction. A coalition of environmental and social activists, alongside new political actors convened in defence of Serra do Curral now demand the immediate revocation of the licence. The present article analyses the current conflict, identifying the main actors, their collective action repertoires, and how those actions play out as the conflict unfolds. The research is conducted through documental inquiry, media coverage analysis and on-site direct observation. Looking into the political struggle around new-extractivism conflicts, we argue, can provide important data and insights about resistance and the developing of alternatives.
Disputes over Coal Mining and Gas Drilling in an Australian Country Town
Authors: Marshall Jonathan Paul
Published: March 2023

This paper explores the repatterning of civil society, the social technologies of persuasion and information, and the role of socio-political contexts in Narrabri (an Australian country town, in Western New South Wales), and its surrounding region between 2018 and 2020. In Narrabri the consequences of Carbon Oligarchy are observed, as the oligarchy promoted new gas fields and expansions of a coal mine in the region. This expansion is justified by supposedly offering a solution to Narrabri’s apparent economic, agricultural and population decline problems, but for many local people, it worsens those problems. Conflict has been generated as a result, and the town has suffered painful fractures making the problems seem harder to solve because of the resulting disunity. The paper explores how the contest to justify the extraction also reduces the legitimacy of that extraction.

How changing the height of the Antarctic ice sheet affects global climate: a mid-Pliocene case study
Authors: Huang Xiaofang , Yang Shiling , Haywood Alan , Tindall Julia , Jiang Dabang , Wang Yongda , Sun Minmin , Zhang Shihao
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Warming-induced topographic changes of the East Antarctic ice
sheet (EAIS) during the Pliocene warm period could have a significant
influence on the climate. However, how large changes in the EAIS height
could theoretically affect global climate have yet to be studied. Here, the
influence of possible height changes of the EAIS on climate over the East
Antarctic ice sheet region versus the rest of the globe is investigated
through numerical climate modeling using the Pliocene as a test case. As
expected, the investigation reveals that the reduction of ice sheet height
leads to a warmer and wetter East Antarctica. However, unintuitively, both
the surface air temperature and the sea surface temperature decrease over
the rest of the globe. These temperature changes result from the higher air
pressure over Antarctica and the corresponding lower air pressure over
extra-Antarctic regions with the reduction of EAIS height. This topography
effect is further confirmed by energy balance analyses. These findings could
provide insights into future climate change caused by warming-induced height
reduction of the Antarctic ice sheet.
Impact of Tourism on Indian Economy with Special Reference to Jammu and Kashmir
Authors: Parray Parvaiz Ahmad , Sharma Puneeta , Sharma Nitya
Published: March 2023

In order for any country's economy to thrive and expand, tourism must be promoted and developed. As reported by the World Travel and Tourism Council, India's tourism industry generated roughly 16.91 lakh crore in revenue in 2018, accounting for over 9.2 percent of the country's total GDP. Furthermore, it employed around 42.673 million people. With annual growth rates of 6.9 percent estimated to reach 32.05 lakh crore by 2028, this industry is quickly increasing over the globe and accounts for almost 9 percent of global GDP. Sustainable tourism is more ecologically beneficial since it provides people with employment and financial compensation while causing no damage to the environment. Tourism is recognised by the government as a sector with substantial potential for economic development and employment generation among the general population. People all across the world see tourism as a sector with enormous potential for economic growth and employment generation, and the government acknowledges this as well. World tourism groups, such as the World Tourist Organization, have established that India has a substantial tourism development potential, especially for developing nations. Several nations, including India and China, are anticipated to have established themselves as global tourist heavyweights by 2020, according to forecasts. As a result of tourism's severe environmental consequences, despite the industry's rapid rise in recent years and promising growth prospects, there is growing worry over the industry's long-term sustainability as a development paradigm. Tourism has negative consequences on the environment, since it reduces the carrying capacity of the ocean's ecosystem. Tourism has detrimental consequences on the environment, impacting the carrying capacity of the region, the flora, the air quality, bodies of water, the water table, wildlife, and the natural environment. Tourism has a negative impact on the environment. The concept of ecotourism is gaining popularity since it has the potential to be helpful in the long term to the growth of the tourist industry. In addition to providing employment and cash to local communities, ecotourism has the potential to generate much-needed foreign currency for national governments, all while protecting the long-term viability of natural resources. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the challenges and possibilities of Indian ecotourism, as well as the influence of ecotourism on the Indian economy, with particular emphasis on the tourist industry in Jammu and Kashmir.

The survival rate of SMEs and consequently their business performance within the current competitive environment are essential for the economic development of most economies, particularly for developing countries. For this study, the secondary sources supported to supply an in-depth literature study and to postulate the hypotheses. The first source for data was surveyed instrument (questionnaire method) and snowball sampling technique was wont to collect data through referral-chain. The sensible implications are that SMEs management and manager need to strengthen the formal strategic planning and practices so as to reinforce the firm’s performance. Furthermore, appropriate business growth plan should be considered as a management tool to extend their market share and growth. the most contributions of this study are that it adds to the prevailing literature review and analyzed various dimensions of strategic planning and management practices within the context Strategic management practices ask a series of designing steps that support firms or corporations to define their mission, vision, goals, and objectives also as support in analysis the environmental. Thus, it are often implied that strategic management practices integrate the objectives and policies of the firm, and therefore the sequence of business decision-making and action is comprehensible as an entire , where the management and managers play a crucial role in strategic management practices and planning. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) plays a crucial role within the world’s economies, as they create jobs and add value via innovation. However, the contributions and performance may vary from one firm to a different within sectors, country, and nations. For this study, the secondary sources supported to supply an in-depth literature study and to postulate the hypotheses. the first source for data was surveyed instrument (questionnaire method) and snowball sampling technique was wont to collect data through referral-chain. The most purpose of this study is to further investigate if strategic management practices through the resource-based approach are often wont to enhance a firm’s performance within the Tamilnadu SMEs context.

Assessing the suitability of the consumer data right for the Australian agricultural sector
Authors:   , Rajbhandari Bikalpa
Published: March 2023

This thesis explores whether the Consumer Data Right (CDR) should apply to the Australian agriculture sector. The CDR is an economy-wide data portability mechanism that could enable Australian farmers to better access and share data. The thesis contends that the CDR may provide some benefits for farmers, but it may have some significant limitations that raise concerns about its suitability. Operational limitations relate to the CDR’s sectoral designation approach and the scope of CDR data. Policy limitations relate to the CDR’s focus on macroeconomic goals which may not enhance sustainable farming practices.
Diagnosis and treatment of early-stage endometriosis by
Transvaginal Hydro laparoscopy
Authors: Gordts S , Puttemans P , Segaert I , Valkenburg M , Schutyser V , Campo R , Gordts Sy.
Published: March 2023

Background: Transvaginal Hydro Laparoscopy (THL) is known as a minimal invasive procedure allowing endoscopic exploration of the female pelvis.

Objective: To evaluate the possibilities of the THL as a tool for early diagnosis and treatment of minimal endometriosis.

Materials and methods: A retrospective study of a consecutive series of 2288 patients referred for fertility problems to a tertiary centre for reproductive medicine was undertaken. Mean duration of infertility was 23.6 months (SD ±11-48), mean age of patients was 31.25 (SD± 3.8y). With normal findings at clinical and ultrasound examination patients underwent, as part of their fertility exploration, a THL.

Main outcome measures: Evaluation of feasibility, identified pathology and pregnancy rate.

Results: Endometriosis was diagnosed in 365 patients (16%); the localisation was higher on the left side (n=237) than on the right side (n=169). Small endometriomas, with diameters between 0.5 and 2 cm, were present in 24.3% (right side in 31, left side 48 and bilateral 10). These early lesions were characterised by the presence of active endometrial like cells and a pronounced neo-angiogenesis. Destruction of the endometriotic lesions with bipolar energy resulted in an in vivo pregnancy rate (spontaneous/IUI) of 43.8% (CPR after 8 months: spontaneous 57.7%; IUI/AID 29.7%).

Conclusion: THL allowed in a minimally invasive way an accurate diagnosis of the early stages of peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis with the possibility of offering treatment with minimal damage.

What is new? This is the largest series reporting the usefulness of THL for the diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis in patients without obviously visible preoperative pelvic pathology.
Use of oral GnRH antagonists combined therapy in the management of symptomatic uterine fibroids

Published: March 2023

Uterine fibroids have an impact on women’s lives due to their high prevalence, physical symptoms, their consequences on patients’ emotional and psychological well-being and loss of work productivity.

The choice of therapeutical approaches varies depending on several factors, and therefore should be applied individually. Currently, there is an unmet need for good, reliable, uterine-sparing options.

The oral GnRH antagonists (Elagolix, Relugolix, Linzagolix) represent a new alternative for the medical management of hormone-dependent gynaecological diseases such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis. They rapidly bind to the GnRH receptor, block endogenous GnRH activity and directly suppress LH and FSH production, avoiding unwanted flare-up effects.

Some GnRH antagonists are marketed in combination with hormone replacement therapy add-back to counteract hypo-oestrogenic side effects. According to the registration trials, once-daily GhRH antagonist combination therapy results in a significant reduction in menstrual bleeding, as compared with placebo, and preserves bone mineral density, for up to 104 weeks. Further studies in the long term are needed to evaluate the whole impact of medical treatment of uterine fibroids on the management of this common women’s disease.

Published: March 2023

This special issue of The University of Western Ontario Journal of Anthropology (UWOJA) serves to relaunch the journal after a prolonged hiatus. UWOJA (formerly TOTEM) published its first volume in 1994 and in its life, has endeavored to publish exceptional pieces of creative and original research by undergraduate and graduate students in all four subfields of anthropology. Despite UWOJA’s interruption in publication (2016-2023), the journal has had a considerable impact, especially for a student-led journal, receiving nearly 600 citations across 151 articles and becoming one of the most-consulted resources on Scholarship@Western. As of January 2023, articles from UWOJA have received over 35 thousand downloads. In addition to its contributions to anthropological knowledge, UWOJA has provided opportunities for many undergraduate and graduate students to participate in the peer-review and journal publication processes. In this issue, UWOJA’s new Editorial Committee intends to highlight the collective effort of previous authors, reviewers, editors, and organizational committees by republishing a selection of the most highly cited, or currently relevant, articles from the journal’s nearly 30-year history and discussing the impact these opportunities have had on the authors’ careers. Just as Frankenstein’s creature was brought to life using a collection of repurposed parts, this issue reanimates UWOJA by compiling highlights from its past.
Updates of Overactive Bladder in Pediatrics
Authors: Shim Jisung , Oh Mi Mi
Published: March 2023

Overactive bladder (OAB) is clinically defined as urinary urgency with or without urinary incontinence. It is associated with daytime frequency or constipation and has a prevalence of approximately 5%–12% among 5- to 10-year-olds. The appropriate functional exchange between the pontine micturition center, periaqueductal gray matter, and prefrontal cortex is important for proper micturition control. Several studies on pediatric cases observed a link between OAB and neuropsychiatric problems, such as anxiety, depression, and attention deficit, and treatment of these comorbidities improved patient symptoms. In this review, we present the pathophysiology of OAB, its associated conditions, and aspects related to updates in OAB treatment, and we propose a step-by-step treatment approach following this sequence: behavioral therapy, medical treatment, and invasive treatment. Although anticholinergic drugs are the mainstay of OAB medical treatment, beta-3 agonists and alpha-blockers are now recommended as a result of significant advancements in pharmacologic treatment in the last 10 years. Electrical stimulation techniques and botulinum toxin are also effective and can be used, especially in conventional treatment-refractory cases.
The Innovative Approach in Functional Bladder Disorders: The Communication Between Bladder and Brain-Gut Axis
Authors: Jung Jiwon , Kim Aram , Yang Seung-Hoon
Published: March 2023

Functional bladder disorders including overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis may induce problems in many other parts of our body such as brain and gut. In fact, diagnosis is often less accurate owing to their complex symptoms. To have correct diagnosis of these diseases, we need to understand the pathophysiology behind overlapped clinical presentation. First, we focused on reviewing literatures that have reported the link between bladder and brain, as the patients with bladder disorders frequently accompanied mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Second, we reviewed literatures that have described the relationship between bladder and gut. There exist many evidences of patients who suffered from both bladder and intestinal diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, at the same time. Furthermore, the interaction between brain and gut, well-known as brain-gut axis, might be a key factor that could change the activity of bladder and vice versa. For example, the affective disorders could alter the activity of efferent nerves or autonomic nervous system that modulate the gut itself and its microbiota, which might cause the destruction of homeostasis in bladder eventually. In this way, the communication between bladder and brain-gut axis might affect permeability, inflammation, as well as infectious etiology and dysbiosis in bladder diseases. In this review, we aimed to find an innovative insight of the pathophysiology in the functional bladder disorders, and we could provide a new understanding of the overlapped clinical presentation by elucidating the pathophysiology of functional bladder disorders.

A Review on Removal of Heavy Metals by Biosorption: A Green Technology
Authors: Namdeti Rakesh
Published: March 2023

Heavy metals have been introduced into the environment because of industrialization. It is well known that heavy metals linger in the environment and endanger organisms. Industrial effluents include microorganisms. To counteract the negative impacts of these metals, they have implemented a variety of measures. These tactics can depend on or be independent of metabolism. One such tactic is biosorption, which involves the interaction of metal ions with cell wall-based metal binding proteins. Algae, fungi, yeasts, and bacteria all engage in biosorption. In addition to live things, leftovers of dead microorganisms also possess biosorbent qualities, such as agricultural wastes like husks, seeds, peels, and stalks from various plants. Temperature, pH, the nature of the biosorbents, the surface area to volume ratio, the quantity of biomass, the initial metal ion concentration, and the metal affinity to the biosorbent are some of the variables that influence the rate of biosorption. Biosorption can be explained using several models, including the Freundlich model and the Langmuir model. Utilizing substances such as thiosulfate, mineral acids, and organic acids, biosorbed metals can be recovered. To avoid changing a biosorbent's physical qualities, the desorption agent should be carefully chosen. It concludes that, biosorption is an effective green technology to remove heavy metals from various types of effluents.
