Budgeting and the Health Services Cost Analysis at Papageorgiou General Hospital: Moving Towards the New DRG Payment System
Authors: ALMALIOTOU Theodosia , ZOUGKOU Evangelia , STAVROPOULOU Evangelia
Published: February 2024

The Budgeting and Cost Analysis Department of Papageorgiou General Hospital created a new tool that utilizes real-time data and feedback from all clinics and departments and produces accurate reporting. The purpose of this tool is to calculate and predict the cost of medical services in a Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) oriented integrated environment. Data processing through Cost/Profit Centers produces and updates key economic and operational indicators (e.g. material and drug consumption, the average duration of hospitalization), which set the framework for the evaluation of clinics’ efficiency and performance. The revenues and expenses of each clinic and the deviations concerning the budget are monitored monthly. The reimbursement of health services based on the DRG system, depending on the medical procedures performed at each clinic, is regarded as revenue. On the other hand, cost analysis involves direct costs, and indirect costs which shape the cost of accommodation of hospitalization per day, estimated by algorithms and specific weighting factors. Thus, the operating cost of each clinic is calculated and then compared against its corresponding revenues. Papageorgiou General Hospital aims and pursues the further development of this budget monitoring tool, which is developed on the actual core health services of each clinic respectively. Fair reimbursement can be secured if data is linked to a dynamic, regularly updated data processing tool, i.e. accurate cost analysis & sourcing.
Laure Prouvost’s Deep See Blue Surrounding You
Authors: Mudu Stefano
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to demonstrate how Laure Prouvost’s artistic practice requires an immersion of the viewer in intermedial installations composed of objects from the most disparate spatial and temporal origins. Since the early 2000s, the French artist has intentionally created surreal mise-en-scenes which, by blending video, painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance, can be understood as compositions or collages made of visual references taken from different contexts such as pop culture, the web, and private photo albums. Prouvost’s works are “unstable visual entities,” made of images that aggregate in heterogeneous configurations, generating eccentric atmospheres and cancelling every hierarchical order between the observer and the observed. Viewers are encouraged to fill the space by becoming objects among other objects. By using the Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) as philosophical and methodological support, this paper will focus more closely on the analysis of Deep See Blue Surrounding You / Vois Ce Bleu Profond Te Fondre (2019), the project Prouvost produced for the French Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale. On this occasion, her work They Parlaient Idéale (2019) – a video documenting the Mediterranean Sea journey that brings her to the Venetian lagoon – was the cornerstone of a multifaceted environmental installation. Assuming a critical and analytical approach, this contribution then discusses the role Deep See Blue Surrounding You plays as a “hyper-enactment:” it is a mise-en-scene that consists of interrelationships between “things/images” that aggregate as objects, but it is also a composition in which the viewers are “viscously” asked to generate their personal, non-linear narration.
...Or We Will Do Without the Theatre. Challenging the Urban Space, Drafting a New City Map Through Performances.
Authors: Volpi Alice
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the evolution of urban mapping and innovative urban design. It explores the transition from functional urban planning to more creative approaches inspired by artists such as Guy Debord, Yoko Ono and others. It suggests that the city is a stage for events, similar to Antonin Artaud’s vision. The central question is how the city can be transformed into a theatre through practical design rules. The paper presents two experiments. The first involves random map rearrangement, encouraging new exploration of familiar neighbourhoods. The second experiment introduces guidance and unpredictability, reflecting the uncertainties of architectural projects. These experiments aim to apply theatrical concepts to urban design. The article seeks to develop a manual for dramatic urban navigation, highlighting the inherent dramatic structure of the city and promoting innovative design regulations.
What to do in /with images? The (virtual) hand in augmented and virtual reality.
Authors: Reich Julia
Published: February 2024

This paper focuses on the concept of acting with and in images in the context of recent AR and VR artworks. The thesis is that the (virtual) hand plays a significant role in an immersive experience. Referring to Doris Kolesch’s relational concept of immersion as one that considers not only the status of being evolved but also the process of getting inside, three forms of actions in and with images are discussed: the hand as stage, the hand as a symbiotic contact zone, and the hand as a designing hand. With artworks by Jeremy Bailey, Aristarkh Chernyshev, Rachel Rossin, and Florian Meisenberg, this contribution aims to contour the forms of action in which the (virtual) hand, in particular, allows an immersive experience by interaction with the virtual sphere and knows how to combine distance with nearness.
Mutual Transformations
Authors: Urban Annette
Published: February 2024

In contemporary understanding, a now normalized immersion continues to be associated with digitality and high-tech apparatuses, but is also seen as diffused into the lifeworld. Against this backdrop, the article focuses on two current artworks that extend the internal environmentality inherent in VR as a spatialized image into physical space by using strategies from installation and site-related art. These examples provide for an equation and nesting of work, environment and exhibition that is interpreted here as a potentiated environmentalization. The artistic VR-environments by no means negate their rootedness in imagery, but rather self-reflexively reveal the transitions between image and three-dimensionality, what gives them a special epistemic valence. It thus seems worthwhile to relate them to considerations of knowledge objects and exhibitions, but also to (queer) phenomenological theories of entanglement and becoming originating from the following of lines. Meanwhile, the epistemic value of their latent objects, disoriented paths, and impossible spaces is only revealed in the interaction with and embodied experience of the virtual space. The article thus participates in debates on how bodily immersion does not exclude, but enables action and reflection within aesthetic experience. With regard to two fundamental paradigms of immersion, it can show how, for this purpose, the artworks turn anew the strategies of de-distancing and de-differentiation.
History and Stories through Jeremy Deller’s Performances
Authors: PINTO ROBERTO
Published: February 2024

"I wanted to make a memorial that was alive, not an object or set of objects to make a pilgrimage to; a memorial that would come to you, that would appear in your city, town or shopping centre, intervening in your daily life". With these words Jeremy Deller introduces us to his We Are Here Because We Are Here, a true monument celebrating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme on 1st July 1916, in which almost twenty thousand British soldiers succumbed. In fact, with the help of Rufus Norris, director of the National Theatre, Deller organised a gigantic mass performance in which about 2000 volunteers worked, disguised as soldiers of the First World War who wandered around the main cities of the United Kingdom without anyone having warned the citizens of their presence.

In my paper I will try to investigate, through Deller's work (and through the comparison with other artistic experiences), how some contemporary artistic interventions try to exploit the mechanisms of performance in order to reconstruct historical events not only relying on the strategies of re-enactment, but also resorting to an immersive and unexpected relationship able to produce an extreme involvement. We Are Here Because We Are Here thus contributes to the reconstruction of memory not through the description of historical facts, nor even through their celebration, but through a process that solicits the emotional states to which, in the harshest moments of the war, the community is subjected.
Environmentality of Immersive Projection
Authors: Bruno Giuliana
Published: February 2024

How does an artwork express an “environmentality?” Can we redefine immersion, in critical terms, as a form of environmental projection? In taking up such questions from my latest book, Atmospheres of Projection: Environmentality in Art and Screen Media, my text addresses the relation between projection and environmentality in the visual arts in order to question immersivity. Confronted with the phenomenon of environmentalization, we need to re-imagine the ecology of representation. Positing ecology as an environmental relation, I will consider its artistic imagination both historically and theoretically. I propose that we revisit the environmentality of media archaeology to understand how this impulse is furthered in current moving-image projections in the art gallery that call themselves immersive. I will especially address environmentality as it relates to movement and scale, questioning the relation between immersion and magnification. I will advance my argument by presenting the large-scale moving-image installations of the Danish-born, New York artist Jesper Just. Does magnification always, only imply spectatorial immersion? Other forms of experience arise when confronting an ecology of scale in art. What else happens when we scale? Can immersion be understood, more critically, as a form of environmental absorption? In recasting immersion in environmental terms, I propose that we consider absorption as empathic projection with space. In shifting from the human subject’s own immersive identification to this critically aware, enveloping field of empathic projection with the non-human, we can discard the prevalent human-centric position that pervades most immersive discourses. A different ecology of immersivity rises to the surface by relating the empathic “projective imagination” to “atmospheric thinking.”
I Stalk Myself More than I Should
Authors: Braga S()fia
Published: February 2024

Today we find ourselves immersed in digital environments made available by centralised social media platforms on a daily basis. While these platforms did provide users expanded connectivity and visibility, they also confined the same user in an economic system focused on collection and commodification of personal data for profit, and in return used them as resources of free labour. In light of this analysis, is it possible to carry out an artistic practice within centralised social media platforms, therefore take an active part in them, while remaining critically engaged, in the attempt to highlight some of the structural dynamics and problems of these realities?In this paper some fundamental aspects of the aforementioned channels will be discussed through the analysis of selected works and two methods utilised by the author to avoid the culture of interveillance.
Allegories of Immersion
Authors: Fimiani Filippo
Published: February 2024

Fish Night, an episode of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS (S01E12, 2019) based on a 1982 short story by Joe R. Lansdale, can be interpreted as an allegory of the impossibility of immersive experience: if real, it is deadly, because the images are no longer such or ghosts but living beings present in a shared environmental habitat, acting with but also against the subject, in turn no longer a spectator. Comparing the story and film, and ancient ekphrastic literature, I discuss, in a trans-medial imaginary genealogical perspective, the symptoms of this cultural topos and of the regressive desire for immersion and for transparent immediacy that shapes and drives it, dwelling in particular on the ambivalent phenomenological and ontological relations between living bodies, pictures and media as deep time-bending.

Norma culta, norma-padrão e variedade linguística nos mediadores curriculares produzidos a partir do Currículo Paulista
Authors: Polizeli Renata
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre como o Currículo Paulista (São Paulo, 2019), em resposta à Base Nacional Comum Curricular (Brasil, 2019), trata a dimensão da variação linguística, no eixo de análise linguística e semiótica. Para isso, o recorte analítico comporta uma situação de aprendizagem do primeiro volume do material didático intitulado de Currículo em Ação, para o nono ano do Ensino Fundamental Anos Finais, produzido pela Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo. A análise dá-se por meio do cotejo de textos, expressado por Geraldi (2012), cujo percurso consiste na recuperação de parte do elo da cadeia de comunicação, com a intenção de colocar um texto em diálogo com outros para que se possa levantar alguns sentidos produzidos entre eles. Os dados indicam a superficialidade no tratamento ao tema, de modo a manter a cultura do erro como intrínseca à perspectiva de compreensão das variedades linguísticas.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Associated With a Bipartite Talus
Authors: Torres Adrian , Paulus Megan
Published: February 2024

Background:

Talus bipartitus is a rare skeletal anomaly that may be mistaken for an os trigonum, a relatively common accessory ossicle found posterior to the talus. Both are believed to be formed similarly with the failed fusion of the talus with a second ossification center. Os trigonum is often diagnosed incidentally or found on radiographs obtained in symptomatic patients with signs of os trigonum syndrome, which presents with posterolateral ankle pain. A bipartite talus may also present with similar symptoms but may be differentiated through its articular involvement.

Case:

In this article, we describe the rare presentation of tarsal tunnel syndrome in a patient caused by a bipartite talus. The patient underwent surgical decompression with the removal of the posterior fragment.

Conclusion:

A bipartite talus is a rare entity that may be mistaken for an os trigonum, a common accessory ossicle. In this article, we describe an outcome of a bipartite talus fragment removal due to tarsal tunnel syndrome and illustrate a rare pathological consequence of a bipartite talus. We further highlight the importance of early surgical management in patients presenting with an identifiable structure contributing to tibial nerve compression.

The Intersection in Marxist New International Politics and Derrida’s Philosophy: A Meta-Analytics Inquiry of Its Impacts on Western Macro-Economy
Authors: Essien Essien Oku
Published: February 2024

The current economic structure in the West is presented in this study as the product of a meeting of Marxist and Derridean ideas. In the light of this intersection and their variance, this study aims to contrast the economic views of Marx and Derrida with those of mainstream capitalism, to assess Derrida’s philosophical grounds for doubting the stability of Western economic structures, to understand the implications of adopting the Marxist perspective in the Western economic system, to examine how Marxist New International Politics and Derrida’s philosophy intersect, and what it means for international trade relations and global economic control. The study’s discourse was informed by the principles of Neoclassical economics to accomplish these objectives. The research used a systematic review process, with the PRISMA criteria utilized to guide the selection and screening of articles, hence, N = 482, n = 32. While 34% of the screened publications were found in Google Scholar (GS), the years 2015, 2019, and 2022 accounted for 57% of the cited papers. The research also used thematic analysis, delving deeply into four themes: Marx’s criticism of capitalism, Derrida’s deconstruction of capitalism, power and hegemonic dynamics, globalization and neoliberalism. The study findings show that Marx’s ideal economic system is one in which production choices are made by centralized authorities rather than the exploitative capitalist market. While Derrida agrees with the Marxist negative perspectives of capitalism, thus establishing an intersection, he argues that the transition from a capitalist system to an alternative society may cause considerable economic problems, thus advocating for improvements and not a switch. The study contends that the synthesis of the capitalist system’s positive and negative qualities has had a significant impact on the argument between Marxist and Derridean scholars and this link has established a framework for more research in economics.
Contre-anthropologie & pensée sauvage
Authors: Durand Valère
Published: February 2024

Les tentatives pour repenser le lien entre terre et humains à l’ère du Capitalocène sont aussi nombreuses que délicates : souvent posées dans les termes exclusifs du naturalisme occidental, elles tendent à reconduire ses dualismes fondateurs – nature et culture, sujet et objet, individu et société. Les courants de contre-anthropologie critique ont cherché quant à eux, en adoptant les perspectives indigènes, à décentrer les concepts et méthodes de leur discipline et à dévoiler, à la lumière de la « pensée sauvage », leurs soubassements idéologiques. En explorant au sein de ces bifurcations disciplinaires les formes de relationnalités adossées aux pratiques sociales et aux épistémologies indigènes, cet article se propose de penser une écologie capable de substituer aux entités et identités socio-politiques de la modernité de nouvelles socialités critiques ou transversales.

Epigenetik Pada Sindrom Ovarium Polikistik: Gangguan Proses Folikulogenesis Yang Melibatkan Gen Reseptor Androgen, Reseptor Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Dan Reseptor Luteinizing Hormone
Authors: Arianto Steven , Radhina Afifa , Shari Amalia , Jannah Insani Fitrahulil , Sari Mike Permata
Published: February 2024

Sindrom Ovarium Polikistik (SOPK) merupakan salah satu gangguan hormonal yang dialami oleh wanita. Gangguan ini menyebabkan disregulasi proses neuroendokrin dan mengganggu proses pembentukan folikel (folikulogenesis). Etiologi gangguan folikulogenesis pada Sindrom Ovarium Polikistik disebabkan oleh reseptor androgen, reseptor follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), dan reseptor luteinizing hormone (LH). Beberapa pendekatan ilmiah digunakan untuk memahami penyebab gangguan folikulogenesis pada Sindrom Ovarium Polikistik, salah satunya epigenetik. Faktor epigenetik seperti metilasi DNA dan modifikasi histon diduga menjadi salah satu penyebab gangguan pengaturan sinyal luteinizing hormone dan follicle stimulating hormone pada folikulogenesis. Sinyal luteinizing hormone dan follicle-stimulating hormone diatur oleh reseptor luteinizing hormone dan reseptor follicle stimulating hormone yang memiliki ekspresi messenger RNA (mRNA) yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan kondisi normal. Reseptor luteinizing hormone diekspresikan secara berlebihan pada sel teka dan sel granulosa, sedangkan reseptor follicle stimulating hormone mengalami represi ekspresi gen pada sel granulosa. Hiperandrogenisme yang dimediasi reseptor androgen juga diatur secara berbeda pada Sindrom Ovarium Polikistik.
IMPLEMENTASI METODE JIGSAW DALAM MENINGKATKAN KETRAMPILAN KOMUNIKASI LISAN SISWA SMALB MATA PELAJARAN PAI DI SLB NEGERI TULUNGAGUNG
Authors: Dafid Fajar Hidayat. HS
Published: February 2024

Basically, every human being cannot be separated from interacting with other humans. As social creatures, humans always try to build relationships with others. However, some people are limited in communication (have special needs), as we know, students at Special Schools (B-Deaf) are limited in one of their senses, namely hearing, which causes communication to be less than fluent.  Student deafness concerns individual hearing conditions, namely the student's inability to perceive verbal communication or other sounds that are adjusted to a certain frequency and intensity. By implementing the jigsaw method in PAI learning, it is hoped that it will be able to provide solutions in oral communication skills. The aim of this research is to find out how the implementation of the jigsaw method improves the oral communication skills of SMALB Tulungagung students. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive type.  Descriptive research type is used as a procedure to propose problem solving by highlighting the state of the object being studied. Data collection took place from 01 August to 15 October 2023 at the Tulungagung State Special School. The results of the research showed that there was an increase in the oral communication skills of Tulungagung State High School students through the implementation of the jigsaw method in PAI subjects. The weakness of this research is that it does not cover all subjects so this research cannot yet be generalized and needs to be studied by further researchers

The health of university students is the result of a relationship between teaching, socialization, economic factors and intrinsic factors to the individual. Social determinants of health influence their health status, therefore, panic disorder in university students is increasingly becoming a public health problem due to the fact that it is considered a prevalent comorbidity in society that affects the quality of life of people and overloads the Sistema Único de Saúde. The study aimed to point out the predisposing factors for panic disorder in university students, seeking to answer the following guiding question: which factors in the long term affect mental health university students?. The data collection was carried out from August to November 2022 in English and Portuguese, where the databases used were Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The results showed that perfectionism tends to trigger other factors that are predisposing to panic disorder, such as stress, physical anxiety and physical worries. Most studies report the factors that predispose to panic disorder in isolation, without considering the disorder in its multifactorial nature.
Ferralsols and plinthosols derived from the degradation of crusts of the Serra dos Martins formation in the brazilian semiarid region
Authors: Marques Ailson de Lima , De Souza Bartolomeu Israel , Macedo Rodrigo Santana , Moura Debora Coelho
Published: February 2024

In a landscape characterized by etchplanation under a semi-arid climate, with summits formed by mesetas and ferruginous crusts, found in the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, there is pedogenesis of Ferralsols (meseta cores) and Plinthosols (meseta edges). This research aims to characterize soils derived from the alteration of the ferruginous crust of the Serra dos Martins Formation. The studied soils were cataloged in the municipalities of Areia, Bananeiras, and Cuité, involving the examination of six soil profiles: Umbric Xanthic Ferralsol (P1), Petric Xanthic Ferralsol (P2), Petric Xanthic Ferralsol (P3), Haplic Petric Plinthosols (P4), Haplic Petric Plinthosols (P5), and Haplic Petric Plinthosols (P6). These were described and classified according to the WRB/FAO, with a focus on macromorphology. The Ferralsols vary from deep to moderately deep, are chemically poor, kaolinitic, and exhibit intense biological activity. The Plinthosols (P1, P2, and P3) feature A horizons with a granular structure and concretionary FA horizons (petric). These characteristics reflect the complexity and diversity of the soils of the Serra dos Martins Formation.
