Language and Theory of Mind: A Synthesis of Empirical Research on Cognitive and Linguistic Interdependencies
Authors: - Ananya Gupta
Published: November 2024

This literature review examines the intricate relationship between Theory of Mind (ToM) and language development, analysing whether ToM serves as a foundational cognitive precursor for language or if both capacities develop interactively. The LR examines multiple approaches, including the lens of bilingualism, autism and deafness. Multiple studies with various methods including experiments, longitudinal studies and neuroimaging studies will be investigated to reach a holistic understanding of the relationship between ToM and language. The review synthesises evidence suggesting that early ToM abilities, such as joint attention and mental state attribution, provide a critical base for effective language use, while language acquisition further refines ToM functions. Neurological findings indicate overlapping brain regions involved in both ToM and language processes, suggesting shared cognitive mechanisms rather than distinct faculties. Additionally, the influence of social and cultural contexts on the development of these abilities is explored, underscoring the importance of interaction in shaping both. The review also highlights gaps in research, particularly in understanding the specific cognitive functions underlying this relationship, and calls for focused investigation into individual components of ToM and language. Implications for therapeutic interventions, especially in speech-language pathology and special education, are also discussed.

Authors: - Nawis Esti Wibowo , - Dinarsari Hayuning Putri , - Putri Kusuma Dewi
Published: November 2024

Background and aims : Heart failure always has a poor prognosis despite advances in medical treatment. Several studies have finally examined several predictors of mortality rates and the incidence of rehospitalization in the population of heart failure sufferers. Wide QRS complex duration is a predictor of poor prognosis in 20-30% of heart failure sufferers. This study aims to determine the relationship between wide complex QRS duration (>120ms) on the incidence of rehospitalization and death in heart failure patients at RSUD dr H Moch Ansari Saleh Banjarmasin for the period January to June 2023.
Material and Methods : This study used analytical methods with a cross-sectional design which was carried out at RSUD dr H Moch Ansari Saleh Banjarmasin for the period January to June 2023. The sample for this study was 133 inpatients with congestive heart failure, consisting of 24
patients with wide complex QRS duration(> 120ms) and 109 patients with narrow QRS complex duration (<120ms). Variables reviewed included age, gender, electrocardiogram rhythm, history of diabetes mellitus, ejection fraction and NYHA classification
Result : The results of Independent T Test stated, there was a significant difference between the duration of the wide QRS complex (>120ms) and the mortality rate (p<0.001) and NYHA classification (p<0.001) but there was no significant difference in the incidence of rehospitalization (p=0.354). Other variables such as age, gender, electrocardiogram picture, history of diabetes mellitus, and ejection fraction also did not show significant differences, this could be due to the small number of samples obtained and limited time in the study.
Conclusion : There is a significant relationship between duration of wide complex QRS (>120ms) and mortality rate of congestive heart failure patients at RSUD dr H Moch Ansari Saleh, Banjarmasin for the period January to June 2023

A study to evaluate the postural sway in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with or without polyneuropathy: A cross-sectional study
Authors: - Anshu Ghiya , - Parul Bawa , - Palak Arora
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND- Diabetes can cause long-term complications such as retinopathy, which can result in vision loss, nephropathy, which can cause renal failure, peripheral neuropathy, which increases the risk of foot ulcers. The degree of postural instability is anticipated to be higher in diabetic patients with a lengthy history of severe peripheral neuropathy than in non-diabetic people. Patients with polyneuropathy who have type 2 diabetes were unable to maintain an upright posture. There will be the early stage of postural balance impairment.
PURPOSE- To evaluate the postural sway in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with or without polyneuropathy.
METHODOLOGY- The total study duration was one and half year. Two groups were taken including Group A with Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with polyneuropathy and Group B with Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without polyneuropathy. Patients between the age group of 45-70 years were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. A minimum of 40 patients were recruited for the study. Dependent variable, postural sway in anteroposterior direction was evaluated on the Orthoking Pressure Plate SDP 610.
RESULTS- Data analysis was performed by SPSS Software version 18 and the variable was compared and assessed using unpaired t-test and Karl Pearson's Coefficient of Correlation. The results of the study showed that there was significant difference between the postural sway (in AP direction) of Group A (DM type 2 with polyneuropathy) and Group B (DM type 2 without polyneuropathy), as the P values of Group A and Group B were 0.0307 (eyes open) and 0.0445 (eyes closed). In both groups (Group A and Group B), the correlation between postural sway (AP direction) between the eyes open and eyes closed conditions was also significant at level 0.05 (two-tailed).
CONCLUSION: From the results of present study it is depicted that there is postural sway with reference to increase in deviation in Anteroposterior direction. Thus it can be concluded that DM Type 2 with polyneuropathy have higher postural sway as compared to the DM type 2 patients without polyneuropathy. Therefore, the results from the present study can be taken into consideration while assessing and treatment planning of patients with DM Type 2 with polyneuropathy.

Epidural Anesthesia in a Patient with Severe Thoracic Kyphosis Undergoing Primary Cesarean Delivery: A Case Report
Authors: - Jesse Camille R. Ilan , - Tygran Romeo C. Odi
Published: November 2024

The administration of neuraxial anesthesia among parturient patients with concomitant spine deformity poses challenges to anesthesiologists. The apprehension stems from the increased possibility of a failed block and complications arising from potential neurologic injury due to anatomic variance.
This is a case report of a 30-year old female gravida 1 para 0 at 36 4/7 weeks age of gestation with severe thoracic kyphosis who underwent emergency primary low segment cesarean section under epidural anesthesia. Ultrasonography of the spine was done pre-induction to visualize spinal anatomy and verify anatomic landmarks. Epidural anesthesia was attempted twice before achieving adequate block to dermatomal level T4 within approximately seven minutes. The patient was able to tolerate the procedure well without significant intraoperative events. Fetal outcomes were also favorable with APGAR scores of 9,9. This case report emphasizes that with extensive preoperative evaluation and preparation, an individualized anesthetic plan may be devised. Ultrasound-guided epidural catheter insertion can be a safe option for obstetric patients with thoracic kyphosis.

Anesthetic Approach in Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis Associated with Ovarian Teratoma: A Case Report
Authors: - Resiah Loraine Dela Cruz Sanqui , - Karl Matthew Co Sy Su
Published: November 2024

Autoimmune encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma has recently been related to the development of antibodies to specific heteromers of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor. Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune condition that is brought on by the production of anti-NMDAR antibodies. It frequently presents on young females and manifests in different ways, including psychiatric symptoms, seizures, hypoventilation, and instability of the autonomic nervous system. Patients who have early surgical tumor excision in addition to immunotherapy had better outcomes than the other patients with this condition. Because the NMDAR is one of the main sites of action for frequently used anesthetic drugs, it is crucial to comprehend the pharmacological interaction between the anesthetic agents and the impaired NMDAR in order to build an anesthetic plan. This study describes a young female patient with autoimmune encephalitis who needed to have an ovarian teratoma surgically removed. Surgery was done under general anesthesia and peripheral nerve block (PNB). Sevoflurane and propofol did not appear to alter psychoneuronal function or cause autonomic instability despite their indirect effects on anti-NMDAR. A quadratus lumborum block was performed to reduce the amount of opioids required for anesthesia.
Anesthetic Challenges in A Heart Failure Patient for Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: A Case Report
Authors: - Femina Margaret Mateo , - Mark Andrew Cruz
Published: November 2024

CRS-HIPEC is a procedure for the treatment of peritoneal malignancies. It is a multi-step procedure consisting of initial tumor debulking, followed by heated application of chemotherapy. Throughout the procedure multiple physiologic changes occur: large fluid losses and shifts, hemodynamic derangements, extremes of temperatures.
Knowledge of the physiologic changes during each phase is essential in forming an anesthetic plan for this case. For this particular case, the patient has an ejection fraction of 35%. The reduced ejection fraction requires careful attention and modification in management. Thus, a tailored anesthetic plan is of particular importance. There is a scarcity of studies regarding anesthetic management in a heart failure patient for CRS-HIPEC, hence it is important to explore the implications of this disease process on anesthetic management.
General Anesthesia On A Patient With Suspected Superior Vena Cava Syndrome In Cardiac Tamponade For Subxiphoid Tube Pericardiostomy: A Case Report
Authors: - Kenneth Matthew C. Guevarra , - Dr. Vidal Esguerra
Published: November 2024

Induction of general anesthesia in patients with cardiac tamponade can cause significant risks. All general anesthetics are myocardial depressants, and most are peripheral vasodilators. In this report, we discussed a 61-year-old woman with pericardial effusion and other signs suggestive of cardiac tamponade, together with facial edema and engorgement of neck veins, scheduled for subxiphoid tube pericardiostomy and pericardial biopsy under general endotracheal anesthesia. The patient was intubated successfully with no noted events on induction and during the perioperative period and immediately postoperatively. To conclude, general anesthesia may be safely performed in patients with cardiac tamponade but must be tailored according to tamponade physiology and their presenting signs and symptoms.
Reforming Strip Search Protocols in Prisons: Challenges, Standards and Solutions
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: November 2024

In prisons, the practice of strip searches is a contentious method employed to uncover contraband and maintain safety. While these searches aim to curb the trafficking of firearms, narcotics, and other unlawful items, they also give rise to critical concerns regarding their ethical ramifications, the invasion of inmates' privacy, and the psychological distress they may inflict. This review delves into the possible psychological repercussions, alongside the dual role of strip searches in enhancing prison security. The legality of such practices varies across different jurisdictions, highlighting the need for stringent protocols to ensure they are conducted lawfully and without excessive intrusion. The review underscores the psychological effects of strip searches, which may include enduring issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, particularly for vulnerable populations who have previously faced trauma. It stresses the delicate balance between security demands and the respect for human dignity in light of legal and ethical considerations. Moreover, alternative methods - such as body scanners - are evaluated as potential solutions that could uphold security while reducing the need for invasive searches. To promote equity, compassion, and adherence to international human rights standards in strip searches, this review advocates for necessary reforms.

The Necessity of Phylosophyzing Science
Authors: - Plamen Nikolov
Published: November 2024

The necessity of a long and difficult evolution of the whole world-perceiving complex in science, even of the very spiritual pillars of culture, leads to a rupture in the objectivity-subjectivity relation. And if this upheaval were even to the slightest degree partially overcome, philosophy and science – two of the ingredients of the cultural process – would realize the mutual conditioning of these concepts.
The inclusion of categories such as “value” and “purpose” in the structure of rationality challenges the resistance of dialecticians, because the firmly established ideals of scientists have many times more persuasiveness in the eyes of scientists than the hypothetical theses of speculative epistemology. For that reason, cardinal qualitative leaps in scientific knowledge need to revise and reform these ideals in order to become obvious and widely accepted.

Topic theory in musicology examines how musical elements and structures convey emotions or topics in music. Despite its potential to provide a framework for understanding musical expression, topic theory has rarely been applied to piano pedagogy. This study aimed to explore participants’ perceptions of Raymond Monelle’s topic theory, specifically the hunt, military, and pastoral topics, in piano interpretation and teaching. Participants included six music lecturers from Chinese universities and nine university music students from Bulgaria, China, France, Germany, and the United States. Data was collected through a listening survey and semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. The listening survey used excerpts from Dussek’s La Chasse, C.146, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A Major, Op. 101, Second Movement, and Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage, Première année - Suisse, No. 3, Pastorale. The results showed that more than half of the participants matched the selected topics with the musical excerpts, with some confusion between the hunt and military topics. All participants agreed that topic theory enriches the interpretation of piano pieces and provides a complementary method in piano pedagogy. Two main themes emerged regarding the application of topic theory in piano interpretation: enhanced expression and imagination. Participants also believed that topic theory could serve as an analytical framework for interpreting musical works and increase the musical knowledge of both teachers and students.

Authors: Rakhees Arafat Abdali , Janoory Lajiman
Published: November 2024

Based on Freudian psychoanalytic concepts: sexuality, the unconscious, the tripartite psyche and defence mechanisms, this study investigates the relationship between the personal life of the American playwright, Edward Albee and his selected plays, namely Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Ballad of the Sad Café, A Delicate Balance and The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? It exposes how Albee sublimates his sufferings and reveals his life via his dramatic works. The study also shows the traumatic experiences which Albee undergoes during his childhood, a matter that affects his behaviour and actions and leaves a deep scar on his own psyche. Besides, it displays how the author sketches his fictional characters to express his unconscious mind, bruised ego and troubled childhood. Further, the study exposes the defence mechanism the playwright takes up to legitimize his suppressed wishes and undesirable impulses. The aforementioned plays are selected because they are autobiographical and self-referential in that they highlight significant aspects of Albee's own personal life and expose the psychological effects of past experiences, stored in the mind of the playwright since childhood, on his personality as an adult.
