Authors: Limata Plinio , Ceschel Federico , Finocchietti Chiara , Marchegiani Lucia , Spitalieri Serena
Published: May 2024

The spectrum of digital technologies that impact Higher Education (HE) is broad. This study explores the potential of Blockchain (BC) technology in the personalized learning path creation and data exchange in the learning processes. The flexibilization of education and digitizing student data through Blockchain may contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable HE system. According to the EU, the Blockchain supports sustainability in four main aspects: cybersecurity, accountability, transparency, and traceability. These aspects are also a driver of social impact and a higher capacity to include disadvantaged groups, such as refugees. Therefore, it is essential to start a debate between scholars and professionals about how the actors in the HE system engage in a collective meaning-making effort to sustain the adoption, diffusion, and use of BC for HE. The paper focuses on the experience of CIMEA DiploMe and EQPR for the recognition of refugees' qualifications. Through a collective consensus-making and awareness-raising effort, the blockchain-backed EQPR could be perceived as a critical tool to foster inclusion within the HEIs and enhance their social outreach.

Ранее было показано, что процесс микроволновой обработки протекает в 3 раза быстрее, чем при традиционном способе. Рентгеноди-фракционный анализ показывает наличие в исследуемых образцах цеолита в виде клиноптилолита и оксида цинка. По результатам оптической и ЭПР-спектроскопии выявлено наличие ионов Fe3+ в (каркасных и внекаркасных пози-циях цеолита) исследуемых образцах. Изучение спектров диффузного отражения показало, что в цеолите, который является широкозонным материалом (ширина запрещенной зоны 4.14 эВ), при активировании 30% ZnO ширина запрещенной зоны уменьшается до 3.38 эВ, а при дополнительном активировании серебром (30% ZnO + 5% Ag) ширина запрещенной зоны уменьшается до 3.31 эВ. Изучена фотокаталитическая активность натурального цеолита, активированного окси-дом цинка (30% ZnO) и серебром (30% ZnO + 5% Ag), по реакции разложения метиленового синего при УФ-облучении.
Samples of natural zeolite from the Nor-Kokhb deposit (Armenia), activated with zinc oxide (30% ZnO) and silver (30% ZnO + 5% Ag), were studied during chemical and thermal treatment by microwave and traditional methods. It was previously shown that the microwave processing process is 3 times faster than with the traditional method. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the presence of zeolite in the form of clinoptilolite and zinc oxide in the studied samples. Based on the results of optical and EPR spectroscopy, the presence of Fe3+ ions in the (framework and extra-framework positions of the zeolite) of the studied samples was revealed. The study of diffuse reflectance spectra showed that in zeolite, which is a wide-gap material (band gap 4.14 eV), with activation of 30% ZnO the band gap decreases to 3.38 eV, and with additional activation with silver (30% ZnO + 5% Ag) the bandgap decreases to 3.31 eV. The photocatalytic activity of natural zeolite activated with zinc oxide (30% ZnO) and silver (30% ZnO + 5% Ag) was studied according to the decomposition reaction of methylene blue under UV irradiation.

Authors: Mandal Ratan , Pan Avijit , Nopany Sripriya , Hoque Injamam , Maity Suman , Dey Tania , Anjali Anjali , Das Brahmarshi
Published: May 2024

Background: The cesarean section (CS) stands as a prevalent and frequently conducted surgical procedure in obstetrics, both within India and globally. The rising rates of cesarean deliveries prompt a necessity to examine the factors that influence this trend.

Aims and Objectives: To analyze the proportion and different indications of CS to reduce the CS rate (CSR) in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study, conducted over a period of 6 months, from July 1st, 2022, to December 31st, 2022, in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Midnapore Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal, India. The data pertaining to patients who underwent C-section deliveries at our hospital during the specified period was documented, followed by a statistical analysis conducted to assess the proportions and various indications for CS.

Results: Out of 6365 women who gave birth during the study period, 2296 women underwent CS. This indicates that the proportion of CSs was 36.07%. The primary indication for CS was previous CS, accounting for 39.50%, followed by fetal distress (16.38%), preeclampsia with severe features and eclampsia (13.50%), severe oligohydramnios (7.40%), arrest of labor (5.70%), malpresentation (4.18%), antepartum hemorrhage (2.96%), premature rupture of membrane (2.70%), cephalopelvic disproportion (1.83%), induction failure (1.44%), fetal growth restriction (1.18%), multifetal gestation (1.09%), bad obstetric history (0.60), big baby (0.48%), cord prolapse (0.35%), and medical disorder (0.70%).

Conclusion: As a tertiary care hospital, we observed a high rate of cesarean deliveries. However, by individualizing indications and conducting careful evaluations in accordance with standardized guidelines, practicing evidence-based obstetrics, and conducting audits within the institution, we can work towards limiting the CSR. In addition, encouraging a trial of labor after a cesarean can be beneficial in reducing the overall rate of CS.

Authors: Ali Somia , Jamil Uzma , Jabbar Mamoona , Sajid Asma , Jabbar Muhammad Assad
Published: May 2024

Deep learning is a branch of study that simulates the human brain and allows learning from large data. In recent years, deep learning techniques have become more prevalent in a range of applications. These techniques have been widely employed in image processing, especially for object detection, image augmentation, and super-resolution. Single-image super-resolution, which converts low-resolution images into high-resolution ones, is a significant application of deep learning. Outstanding perceptual and antagonistic outcomes have been achieved using multiple single-image super-resolution models. In this study, several noteworthy methods, including Super Resolution with Convolutional Neural Network, Super Resolution Residual Network, Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network, and Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network are used for single image super-resolution. Each layer in these deep learning models carries out certain operations on low-resolution images to transform them into high-resolution equivalents. As a result, many high-resolution images can be produced from a single low-resolution image. We created a dataset of random images for our research. The original low-resolution images are compared to the high-resolution images that were created using a deep learning technique. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and the Structural Similarity Index are used in the comparison. Additionally, the evaluation process includes computing the ground truth value. The highest similarity indexed is achieved by VGG54 with 96% of similarity.

Gedwongen worden om vrij te zijn?

Gedwongen worden om vrij te zijn?

Jean-Jacqcues Rousseau is vaak weggezet als wegbereider van autocratisch of zelfs totalitair denken. Als bewijs daartoe wordt dan onder meer een frase uit zijn ‘Het maatschappelijk verdrag’ aangehaald. Daarin lezen we ‘dat alwie zal weigeren te gehoorzamen aan de algemene wil, er door het hele lichaam toe gedwongen zal worden’ (Boek I, 7). Maar wat is de betekenis van die frase? De auteur beargumenteert dat Rousseau niet vanzelfsprekend als een autoritaire ideoloog kan worden weggezet, en ook niet als iemand die overheidsdwang vanzelfsprekend acht voor het nastreven van zijn doelstellingen. Veeleer moet hij worden begrepen als auteur van ‘constitutionele fictie’, een benadering die de auteur hier begrijpt als een denkstrategie om de fundamenten van onze democratie bloot te leggen en die ons ook in staat stelt de actuele verschijningsvorm ervan te beoordelen.

In order to achieve this, empirical data on victim-offender contact in a forensic setting as conducted by Perspectief Herstelbemiddeling, an independent Dutch mediation agency, is used. First the frequency and type of restorative mediation in this context are discussed. Following, on the basis of a qualitative analysis of logs of mediations and interviews with staff members of Perspectief Herstelbemiddeling, we report on the practice of victim-offender contact in a forensic psychiatric setting, focusing on psychopathology and the treatment context, the outcome of mediation in this context and the evaluation by participants. Although this context concerns only a small share of the total number of mediations, our study shows that restorative mediation can be a good option in a forensic setting. What is more, about half the cases concern known victims highlighting the importance of restorative mediation even more.

A case of amoebic purulent pericarditis associated with left pyothorax in a 6-year-old child complicating liver abscess has been diagnosed and successfully treated. We report this case to illustrate its rarity but especially contribution of imaging in diagnosis, management and therapeutic monitoring of this condition in a multidisciplinary manner. Chest X-ray of the patient showed enlarged cardiac silhouette with a globular contour suggestive of a pericardial effusion and left pleural effusion. Abdominal ultrasound scan demonstrated enlarged liver due to suppurative abscess of segments II and III fitted with a fistulous tract into pericardium. Doppler echocardiography scan noted very large purulent pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was performed and cytobacteriological test of pericardial fluid confirmed presence of Entamoeba histolyticTriple antibiotic therapy was instituted and surgical drainage of the different collections was performed immediately. The follow-up surgery was favourable in 28 days.
Résumé
Un cas de péricardite amibienne associée à un pyothorax gauche chez un enfant de 6 ans,  compliquant un abcès du foie, a été diagnostiqué et traité avec succès. Nous rapportons ce cas pour illustrer sa rareté mais surtout l’apport de l’imagerie dans le diagnostic, la prise en charge et le suivi thérapeutiques de cette pathologie dans un cadre multi disciplinaire. Une radiographie thoracique réalisée chez ce patient a montré une cardiomégalie, un épanchement pleural gauche et l’échographie abdominale, une hépatomégalie siège d’un abcès suppuratif des segments II et III, fistulisant dans le péricarde. L’échocardiographie doppler a révélé une péricardite avec un épanchement de grande abondance. Une ponction du liquide péricardique avec étude cytobactériologique a confirmé l’origine amibienne de l’abcès. Une triple antibiothérapie a été instituée et un drainage chirurgical des différentes collections a été immédiatement effectué. Les suites opératoires étaient favorables en 28 jours.

Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency. Perinatal spermatic cord twisting, wrongly called perinatal testicular twisting, is a rare pathology that results in the twisting of the vasculo-nervous elements of the spermatic cord. Torsion may have occurred in utero (antenatal form) or during the first 28 days of life (postnatal form). Its diagnosis is clinically suspected with an important place of imaging in the positive diagnosis. The authors report a case with the review of key elements of imaging diagnostic as well as the modalities of management.
RESUME
La torsion du cordon spermatique périnatale est une pathologie rare et une urgence chirurgicale. Nous en rapportons un cas de même qu’une revue des modalités diagnostiques et thérapeutiques. Il agissait d’un nouveau-né à J0 de vie, adressé pour une tuméfaction ferme du testicule droit, découverte à l’examen systématique du nouveau-né. L’échographie testiculaire réalisée en urgence a objectivé une torsion du cordon spermatique avec une nécrose testiculaire. Une orchidectomie droite et une orchidopexie du testicule gauche sain ont été réalisées. Les suites post-opératoires ont été simples.

We report a right adrenal mass of tuberculous origin in a 46-year-old immunocompetent patient. He was referred to the medical imaging department for an assessment of right low back pain. The abdominal CT scan revealed a necrotic right adrenal mass associated with multiple deep lymphadenopathies, low abundance ascites and diffuse thickening of the peritoneal sheets. The diagnosis of adrenal tuberculosis was made on the basis of the positive tuberculosis result of the sputum PCR. Pathology confirmation could not be established due to the patient's refusal. He benefited from anti-tuberculosis treatment according to the 2RHZE / 4RH protocole with a favorable evolution and the disappearance of functional signs after one month. A follow up ct-scan after 3 months of treatment showed a clear regression of the lesions, especially of the adrenal mass.
RESUME
Nous rapportons un cas de masse surrénalienne droite d’origine tuberculeuse chez un patient immunocompétent de 46 ans. Il a été adressé au service d'imagerie médicale pour bilan de douleurs lombaires droites. Le scanner abdominal avait mis en évidence une masse surrénalienne droite nécrotique associée à de multiples adénopathies profondes, une ascite de faible abondance et un épaississement diffus des feuillets péritonéaux. Le diagnostic de tuberculose surrénalienne était retenu sur la base du résultat positif à la tuberculose de la PCR des crachats. La confirmation anatomopathologique n’a pas pu être établit en raison du refus du patient. Il a bénéficié d’un traitement anti tuberculeux selon le schéma 2RHZE/4RH avec une évolution favorable et la disparition des signes fonctionnels au bout d’un mois. Un scanner de contrôle à 3 mois de traitement objectivait une nette régression des lésions particulièrement de la masse surrénalienne.

Objective: To describe Doppler ultrasound abnormalities of the Achilles tendon for posterior ankle pain.
Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study carried out at the Campus Teaching Hospital of Lome, ranging from June to December 2014 (period of 6 months), including 57 Achilles tendons in 37 adult patients presenting for an ultrasound Doppler examination with posterior ankle pain.
Results: There was a female predominance (sex ratio: 2.36). The mean age was 47.61 years ± 9.86 (25 - 64 years). Prescribers were dominated by interns (27.03%), neurologists (21.62%) and general practitioners (18.92%). The Achilles tendon pathologies were enthesopathies (45.61%; mechanical in 40.35% and inflammatory in 5.26%), tendon ruptures (21.05%) and tendinosis (17.54%; corporeal in 12, 28% and distal to the Haglund conflict in 5.26%). The other lesions (isolated and / or associated) were dominated by enthesophytes (59.65%), bursitis (24.56%), peritendinopathy (10.53%) and cortical bone irregularity (8, 77%). Edema and hypervascularization of Kager's fat were observed in 7.02% each.
Conclusion: The pathologies of the Achilles tendon were varied and frequent, especially in women in their forties. The main lesions observed were enthesophytes, bursitis and ruptured tendons. The Doppler ultrasound allowed a precise lesion assessment and a distinction between mechanical and inflammatory damage.

RÉSUMÉ 

Objectif : Décrire les anomalies à l’écho-doppler du tendon d’Achille pour douleurs postérieures de la cheville.
Matériel et méthodes : Etude transversale réalisée au CHU Campus de Lomé, allant de mai à octobre 2018 (période de 6 mois), incluant 57 tendons d’Achille chez 37 patients adultes se présentant pour un examen écho-Doppler avec une douleur postérieure de la cheville.
Résultats : Il y avait une prédominance féminine (sex-ratio: 2,36). L’âge moyen était de 47,61 ans ± 9,86 (25 - 64 ans). Les prescripteurs étaient dominés par les internes (27,03%), les neurologues (21,62%) et les médecins généralistes (18,92%). Les pathologies tendineuses achilléennes étaient les enthésopathies (45,61% ; mécanique dans 40,35% et inflammatoire dans 5,26%), les ruptures tendineuses (21,05%) et les tendinoses (17,54% ;  corporéale dans 12,28% et distale du conflit de Haglund dans 5,26%). Les autres lésions (isolées et/ou associées) étaient dominées par les enthésophytes (59,65%), la bursite (24,56%), la péri tendinopathie (10,53%) et une irrégularité de la corticale osseuse (8,77%). Un œdème et une hyper vascularisation de la graisse de Kager étaient observés dans 7,02% chacun.
Conclusion : Les pathologies du tendon d’Achille étaient variées et fréquentes surtout chez la femme de la quarantaine. Les principales lésions observées étaient les enthésophytes, les bursites et les ruptures tendineuses. L’écho-Doppler a permis  un bilan lésionnel précis et une distinction des atteintes mécaniques et inflammatoires.
