Authors: Saeed Zenab , Schalk Alexandra R. , Boyle Maxwell S. , Harm Richard G. , Hill Misti , Greiwe R. Michael
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to assess patient reported satisfaction and evaluations of cost savings following orthopaedic telemedicine appointments to better understand the impacts of telemedicine and its utility in the orthopaedic clinic setting. A retrospective review examined 33 patients who experienced telemedicine appointments for post-MRI or post-injection follow up with a single physician. Patient outcomes were measured by a nine item survey with the opportunity to provide additional feedback. Overall patient satisfaction (T=9.94, p<0.0001) and cost effectiveness evaluations did not significantly differ (T=0.2685, p=0.79; T=1.11, p=0.28) compared to results found in previous, similar research. The majority of patients indicated that they would use telemedicine again (87.88%) and that telemedicine saved money compared to traditional office visits (87.88%). The majority of patients also reported that telemedicine visits were just as effective and satisfactory (60.61%) or more effective and satisfactory (21.21%) compared to office visits. The six patients (18.18%) who indicated that telemedicine visits were less effective and satisfactory compared to an office visit also reported significantly lower total satisfaction scores (T=3.56, p=0.0006). Patient satisfaction likely has strong effects on the application of telemedicine in healthcare. Although patients generally reported high satisfaction with telemedicine, even in comparison to in-person visits, preference for in-person appointments may, for some patients, outweigh its benefits.

Mito y violencia en Oldboy
Authors: López Pérez Anier , Hernández-Novo Claudia
Published: September 2023

The present study proposes an approach to the film Oldboy (올드보이) (Park Chan Wook, 2003). The resemantization of the myth in the film, the cultural landscapes that contaminate the discourse of the film, and the violence as an expression of this resemantization of the myth and the mythopoetic attitudes of the characters involved in the plot are analyzed. Several theoretical models were taken into consideration to analyze the work under study, although, fundamentally, the proposal developed by Zavala to study violence in cinematographic language was followed. Finally, it is concluded that the film is a proposal in which violence is surreal, excessive and tragicomic. It is another piece in which Park Chan Wook intends to show revenge and violence as a futile, destructive and senseless act. The object of desire lost is irreparable through violence, there is no redemption for those who execute it, only the invocation of an irremediable loss of themselves by consummating their acts of blood.

El presente estudio propone un acercamiento a la película Oldboy (올드보이) (Park Chan Wook, 2003). Se analiza la resemantización del mito en la película, los paisajes culturales que contaminan el discurso del filme y la violencia como una expresión de esa resemantización del mito y de las actitudes mitopoiética de los personajes que intervienen en la trama. Se tomaron en consideración varios modelos teóricos para analizar la obra objeto de estudio, aunque, en lo fundamental, se siguió la propuesta desarrollada por Zavala para estudiar la violencia en el lenguaje cinematográfico. Finalmente, se concluye que el filme supone una propuesta en la que la violencia es surrealista, desmedida y tragicómica. Es otra de las piezas en la que Park Chan Wook pretende mostrar la venganza y la violencia como acto fútil, destructivo y carente de sentido. El objeto de deseo perdido es irreparable por medio de la violencia, no hay redención para quienes la ejecutan, solo la invocación de una irremediable pérdida de sí mismos al consumar sus actos de sangre.
La proliferación de una imagen. De la disidencia política a Aliexpress en cinco pasos
Authors: González Claudia
Published: September 2023

La imagen de la actuación del colectivo ruso Pussy Riot en una iglesia de Moscú en 2012 fue difundida mundialmente tras la detención de sus protagonistas. En el movimiento de protesta internacional que se generó, el pasamontañas fue asumido como un icono. Esta prenda vuelve a aparecer en otros contextos: un concierto de Madonna, una escena de la película Spring Breakers. En este artículo ponemos a dialogar una serie de imágenes conectada por este elemento en común que funciona como un símbolo de disidencia y lucha social y que, a través de sus diferentes usos y apropiaciones, ha ido variando su significado.

¿Cómo se construyen las imágenes de resistencia? ¿Cómo se ponen en circulación? ¿Qué posibilidades de apropiación y replicabilidad alojan? ¿Qué capacidad de acción tienen? A través de este breve recorrido proponemos poner nuestra mirada en algunos aspectos que nos sean útiles a la hora de abordar estas cuestiones.
Arte Contemporáneo ante la emergencia climática. Estudio de aproximaciones
Authors: Torres Juan Jesús
Published: September 2023

Todos los indicadores que auguraban un rápido cambio climático debido al calentamiento global provocado por los gases de efecto invernadero producto de la quema de combustibles fósiles por parte de la maquinaria humana se han cumplido. Este siglo XXI inaugurado, probablemente, en un mercado de Wuhan, se enfrenta a un reto mayúsculo, tan grande como definitorio: construir un mundo sin emisiones de CO2 antes de 2050 para atenuar, que no detener, un proceso que, en caso de no alcanzarse los objetivos climáticos, supondría el fin de la civilización tal y como la conocemos. Con el respaldo de algunos interesantes proyectos expositivos celebrados en los últimos cinco años, este estudio se acerca a las propuestas de algunos creadores actuales ante una emergencia de proporciones nunca vistas.
El refugio mediático: Espacios íntimos convertidos en escénicos, la imagen de un período de resiliencia
Authors: Fernández Moncada Celeste
Published: September 2023

Dentro de nuestro mundo mediático, cada vez es más difícil encontrar la línea entre el otro y el yo. El ser humano es inherente a su carácter social, puesto que la búsqueda de uno mismo comienza sobre esa base impersonal que aporta la mirada ajena. Pero no solo basta con el feedback del grupo para adquirir una identidad, sino que también necesitamos momentos de desconexión grupal, cosa que en una sociedad hiperconectada supone un gran problema, ya que entran en juego dos grandes necesidades humanas, la de sentirnos queridos y la de estar en el grupo. El uso de las redes sociales posibilitó un nuevo espacio de socialización, con el que encontramos un refugio ante las dificultades vividas en 2020. Durante el aislamiento convertimos nuestros hogares en una localización pública, lo que significa que comenzamos a habitar en el escenario de la vida a tiempo completo, lo que ha derivado en una continua fragmentación identitaria fruto de las ciber-representaciones. Estos conceptos se reflejan en la creación artística contemporánea desde el comienzo de la globalización hasta la actualidad, por lo que usaremos ejemplos desde la fotografía, pintura o la performance, para contextualizar los hechos.
Rutas y hallazgos: Prácticas colaborativas con mujeres privadas de su libertad del Centro de Reinserción Social de Mexicali. Baja California, México
Authors: Arroyo Marycarmen , Espinoza Galindo Alejandro , Herrera Bórquez Kenya
Published: September 2023

This article presents the discoveries of Ave Fénix, a project that works with incarcerated women in Centro de Reinserción Social in Mexicali, Baja California, México. We explored the possibilities of collaborative and interdisciplinary work, where experimentation and dialogue became the foundations for creating experiences located in the body and affects. This laboratory starts from a disobedient and undisciplined epistemology that operates from horizontality, affectivities, and communality. Drawing, painting, performative exercises, photography, writing, and body movement were integrated as pedagogical artistic processes that triggered transformative events.

The project proposes an affective and embodied artistic-pedagogical practice that responds to encounters as a process to resignify life as dignified and autonomous, and envisions possibilities for agency and solidarity in a site of control and discipline. We present the findings that created moments of resistance and re-existence for all the people who participated in the project.

One of the platforms for providing guidance is through the mosque youth, which focuses on mosque activities, Islamic knowledge, education, youth, and skills. The aim of empowering and establishing the mosque youth is to explore the potential of adolescents to realize noble character according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Through leadership and organizational training, youth are invited to develop themselves and implement programs that have been designed, such as the Muttaqien Learning House. It is hoped that these programs can improve the quality of learning outside of school and become a platform for personal development and youth interest. The empowerment method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involves adolescents in the decision-making process and implementation of guidance programs. Youth are encouraged to actively participate in leadership and organizational training, as well as designing programs that meet their needs. Through this method, adolescents are expected to become agents of change who are empowered and actively involved in advancing the surrounding environment.

Provocações decoloniais
Authors: Vilela da Silva Renê Augusto
Published: September 2023

No presente texto buscaremos a ideia de que uma educação libertadora em conexão com a Teologia é um contributo ao pensamento decolonial. Sabendo que contamos com uma realidade complexa não somente quanto à estrutura social, mas também as perspectivas humanas, mas é preciso aprofundar na vida espiritual já no período de formação humana e intelectual. Pretendemos mostrar que o dialogo e o autoconhecimento do individuo contribui para a construção de uma sociedade mais livre e tolerante, que busca entender sua passagem mundana como uma graça divina a ser compartilhada pela diversidade de pessoas e realidades. Olhando, para o Brasil e sua questão educacional vemos que o trabalhodecolonial é precioso para chegarmos a uma concretização da experiência integral do ser humano: físico e espiritual. O texto é bibliográfico e visa trabalhar a importância de uma visão decolonial em busca de compreender melhor o ser humano e a partir da educação formar seres que buscam a integridade humana, social e religiosa.
População em situação de rua e controle social
Authors: Ferreira Julia Mezarobba Caetano , Silva João Victor , Sanches Leide Conceição , Sanches Mário Antonio
Published: September 2023

Este artigo aborda as políticas públicas para a população em situação de rua a partir da perspectiva do controle social, com o objetivo de analisar como o Estado tem atendido (ou não) às demandas desta população. A metodologia utilizada foi a exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, a partir de observação participante junto às atividades de entidades que exercem o controle social. Resulta da pesquisa a constatação de que as políticas públicas voltadas à população em situação de rua não são efetivas por vários motivos: desconhecimento das reais demandas desta população, declarado desinteresse da gestão pública e desrespeito aos direitos humanos. Constata-se que a insuficiência e/ou ineficiência de políticas públicas agrava a vulnerabilidade desta população. Considera-se que os atores do controle social têm uma percepção negativa a respeito dos serviços públicos voltados à população em situação, que, por sua vez, busca atuar junto ao Estado em prol de políticas públicas mais efetivas.

DOES RENEWABLE ENERGY SPUR ECONOMIC GROWTH IN KENYA? AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Nyasha Sheilla , Odhiambo Nicholas M.
Published: September 2023

In this paper, the dynamic impact of renewable energy consumption on economic growth in Kenya has been empirically examined during the period from 1990 to 2019, using the autoregressive distributed lag-bounds testing approach. The study was motivated by the call to increase renewable energy use in Kenya. Contrary to expectations, the results of the study show that renewable energy consumption has no significant impact on economic growth in Kenya, regardless of whether the analysis is in the long or short run. The study, thus, concludes that the development of the real sector in Kenya is not dependent on the exploration of renewable energy. This implies that Kenya can still pursue the necessary energy conservations policies without compromising its long-term growth trajectory.
Er maskinoversetting fra nordsamisk nyttig for sørsamisk?
Authors: Antonsen Lene
Published: September 2023

The article assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a rule-based translation program from North Saami to South Saami. As a tool for translators, the system can contribute to more text being produced in South Saami, both by using North Saami as an intermediary in the translation of texts from Norwegian and Swedish, and by translating texts that are originally written in North Saami. The system may also help teachers in academia to understand texts written by South Saami students. The system is still not good enough, in particular the number of word pairs in the lexicon must be increased considerably to get a better result. The translation is also not robust with respect to linguistic errors in the North Saami text. The linguistic difference between North Saami and South Saami syntax is big, and one could consider whether it would be appropriate to use a rule-based approach, which allows using information about the sentences' dependency trees, in order to more easily transform the sentences from North Saami syntax to acceptable South Saami.

Authors: Tutika Dinesh Kumar , Gowtham Bandi , Gollapalli Shanmukha Rao , Miryabbelli Santhosh Babu
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Rotator Cuff Injuries (RCIs) are common shoulder injuries, and the supraspinatus muscle, which is part of the rotator cuff, plays a crucial role in shoulder abduction. The mini-open repair technique offers several advantages, including being less invasive, leading to reduced postoperative morbidity, and shorter operative times. Aim: The aim of this prospective interventional study was to assess the functional consequences of open microscopic repair and the functional implications of supraspinatus tendon repair following the procedure and during the postoperative healing period. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics at Great Eastern Medical School and Hospital in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study duration was one year, from July 2020 to July 2022. A total of 120 patients aged between 20 and 60 years were included, and all surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. Patients were followed up for one year and evaluated with ConstantMurley Score (CMS) system. Patient data were analysed based on gender, age, degree of tears, clinical test results, and postoperative scores. Levene’s test was used to determine variance homogeneity, and the Student’s t-test (two-tailed, dependent) was used to determine the statistical significance of study parameters on a continuous scale within each group. Results: The study included 120 patients (84 males and 36 females), and the majority of them had traumatic tears. When data was analysed based on patient age, the majority were between 46 and 50 years (33 patients, 27%), followed by the age group of 41-45 years.

Introduction: Medical abortion is a safe intervention in the first trimester that requires access to accurate information and the support of a trained healthcare provider. However, women often use medical abortion pills on their own or with guidance from friends, relatives, quacks, or pharmacists due to the easy availability of these drugs over-the-counter without a medical prescription. Aim: To study the effects of over-the-counter use of medical abortion pills on maternal health and to explore the possible reasons for it. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. The study duration was one year and five months, from June 2020 to October 2021. A total of 98 women who reported unsupervised consumption of medical abortion pills over a period of 17 months were included in the study. Demographic and obstetric profiles, clinical presentation, diagnosis, outcomes, and complications were analysed. Reasons for unsupervised intake were also explored. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: The study included 98 women, with the majority (54.08%) belonging to the 25-31 years age group. Out of these, 49 (50%) women took the abortion pills between 7-12 weeks, 32 (32.65%) before seven weeks, and 17 (17.35%) between 13-20 weeks. Pregnancy was confirmed with a Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) kit in 64 (65.30%) women, with Ultrasonography (USG) in 22 (22.45%) women, while 12 (12.25%) took pills based solely on missed periods. The most common clinical presentation was excessive vaginal bleeding in 70 (71.42%) cases. Incomplete abortions were observed in 77 (78.56%) women, missed abortions in 10 (11.22%) women, and septic abortions in 4 (4.08%) women. Laparotomy was needed in six women with ectopic pregnancy. Two women required hysterectomy, one due to uterine perforation after suction evacuation in a private hospital, and the other due to intractable haemorrhage. Blood transfusion was needed in 25 (25.5%) women, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) care in 15 (15.3%) women. However, none experienced acute kidney injury, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), or mortality. The main reasons for over-thecounter use of abortion pills were privacy or non-disclosure of pregnancy in 48 (48.9%) cases, opposition from the husband in 31 (31.6%) cases, avoiding a hospital visit in 25 (25.51%) cases, and easy availability of the pills in 27 (27.55%) cases. Conclusion: Unsupervised intake of pills increases the risk of complications like incomplete or missed abortion, sepsis, and ectopic pregnancy, which may require blood transfusion, ICU admission, and major surgeries like laparotomy or hysterectomy in a few cases. Therefore, there is a need for supervised intake of pills to reduce maternal morbidities.

Introduction: Brachial plexus blocks have become useful alternatives to general anaesthesia for forearm surgeries. When used as a sole agent, Local Anaesthetics (LA) do not provide adequate pain relief. Tramadol and Butorphanol are synthetic opioid analogues that, when added to Bupivacaine, improve the quality of the block and reduce the need for supplementary postoperative opioids. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Tramadol and Butorphanol as adjuvants to Bupivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block on sensory and motor block characteristics. Materials and Methods: This double-blinded randomised clinical study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, from January 2021 to June 2022. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 30 each: group T received 0.5% Bupivacaine 25 mL with 50 mg Tramadol, and group B received 0.5% Bupivacaine 25 mL with 1 mg Butorphanol. The primary objective was to study the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade. The secondary objectives were to study the duration of postoperative analgesia, requirements of rescue analgesia, and drug-related adverse effects in supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Fisher’s exact test and the Chi-square tests were used to compare categorical variables. Results: Group T and group B was 38.30±13.75 years and 38.30±14.79 years, respectively. Demographic data were comparable in both groups. A faster onset of sensory block and motor block was seen with Tramadol than with Butorphanol (p-value <0.001). The duration of sensory and motor block was longer with Butorphanol than with Tramadol (p-value <0.001 and p-value=0.01, respectively). The time to first rescue analgesia was longer with Butorphanol (p-value <0.001). Beyond six hours, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score was significantly lower in group B, except at the 12th hour. Very few incidents of adverse events were recorded in both groups. Conclusion: The authors concluded that adding Butorphanol in a dose of 1 mg to Bupivacaine showed a delayed onset for sensory and motor block but prolonged duration of sensory and motor block, as well as the duration of postoperative analgesia, compared to the addition of 50 mg Tramadol, without producing any significant adverse effects.

This study concerned the search for a method aimed at improving the safety of the treatment of Li-ion (Lib) battery waste. It consisted in the extraction of the electrolyte from used Libs by methanol before the hydrometallurgical treatment. As a result, the infrared extracts characterization, after concentration, revealed the presence of characteristic vibrations of organic functions or chemical bonds other than those of the methanol used, prompting the search for other constituents (P, F, Li) generally found in the electrolyte compositions of Lib. Furthermore, the pretreated cathodes are cut and subjected to selective leaching with 4N NaOH for 60 minutes according to a liquid/solid ratio L/S=10 L/Kg at ambient temperature. Alkaline leachates and black residues were quantified by X-ray fluorescence and results showed higher recovery rates for aluminum. It thus seemed that the pretreatment of the cathodic samples decreased the leaching rates. In addition, the pre-treatment of the samples has been shown to reduce the polluting nature of selective leaching, and the extraction of the electrolyte by methanol allowed the recovery of copper at the anode without any hydrometallurgical treatment.

This study sought to establish the historical development of higher education in Rwanda compared to other East African countries, especially Tanzania. The article was geared towards finding out how higher education has developed in both Rwanda and Tanzania in terms of gender and enrolment, inclusive education, government funding, and the marketability of graduates. The review uses Google Scholar to get the information from the different works from different countries regarding the subject. The findings indicated that there is no equity in gender or enrolment in both Tanzania and Rwanda. In both countries, there is a need to encourage females to access higher education without fearing some of the barriers, like getting pregnant and the patriarchal system. Funding students in higher education institutions is a problem for both countries. The need for inclusive education did not suit the government well enough; hence, parents decided to leave their children unschooled. Fresh graduates are advised to be self-employed or develop their qualifications in the education sector to make them more marketable.
