Interaksi Antara Penggunaan Lagu Dalam Konten Digital dan Perlindungan Hak Cipta: Tinjauan Terhadap Undang-Undang Hak Cipta Di Indonesia
Authors: Wijaya Monica , Rahaditya R.
Published: November 2024

Although copyright laws have provided a framework for protecting musical works, advancements in technology that facilitate access to and distribution of music also create new risks related to copyright infringement. The existing challenges, coupled with the suboptimal regulatory environment, highlight the need for efforts to enhance the protection of song copyrights in digital content. This research aims to analyze the legal protection mechanisms against copyright infringement of songs that occur in the use of digital content. The methodology employed is normative legal research with a legislative approach, utilizing primary data from applicable regulations and secondary data from relevant legal literature. Through qualitative analysis, this study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how the law protects copyright and how the government addresses the challenges arising in the digital era concerning artistic works in Indonesia. With this understanding, it is hoped that more effective measures can be identified to protect copyright and promote compliance with existing regulations in the music industry.
Analisis Eksperimental Sistem Pengukuran Daya Perangkat Elektronik Rumah Tangga Menggunakan Sensor HLW8012
Authors: Uniplaita Tiper Korneles Muwarberto
Published: November 2024

Pengembangan sistem pengukuran digital daya listrik dari peralatan rumah tangga dapat memberikan manfaat untuk penghematan konsumsi energi, karena nilai daya dapat direkam dalam bentuk grafik dan dipantau oleh pengguna. Namun, sistem-sistem terdahulu masih memiliki akurasi pengukuran daya listrik dibawah 90%, sehingga dapat memberikan kerugian ekonomi jika diterapkan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem digital untuk mengukur daya listrik perangkat elektronik rumah tangga dengan akurasi diatas 90%. Terdapat tiga langkah untuk mengembangkan sistem ini, yaitu perancangan, implementasi, dan kalibrasi. Sensor HLW8012 digunakan untuk mendeteksi arus bolak-balik, tegangan, dan daya dari beban, kemudian diproses dan ditampilkan pada monitor serial menggunakan mikrokontroler ESP8266. Selanjutnya, dilakukan uji eksperimental untuk mengkalibrasi sistem menggunakan beberapa beban yang dihubungkan secara seri dengan multimeter. Berdasarkan hasil eksperimen, akurasi pengukuran arus dan daya listrik adalah 95%, sedangkan, akurasi pengukuran tegangan adalah 100%. Dengan demikian, tujuan penelitian terkait sistem pengukuran digital dengan akurasi pengukuran diatas 90% dapat terealisasi. Namun, sistem ini tidak dapat digunakan untuk pengukuran beban dengan daya di bawah 20 Watt. Kedepannya, sistem dapat dikembangkan untuk memantau penggunaan daya listrik secara real time.

Beetroot, a vibrant red vegetable, has emerged as a promising natural remedy for various health conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases. Rich in essential nutrients, minerals, and unique plant compounds, beetroot offers a holistic approach to promoting overall well-being. This comprehensive analysis delves into the pharmacological properties of beetroot, highlighting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-diabetic effects. Key phytoconstituents like betalains and nitrates contribute significantly to these beneficial properties. Betalains, the pigments responsible for beetroot's distinctive color, exhibit potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They help combat oxidative stress, safeguard cells from damage, and reduce inflammation. Nitrates, another essential component, are converted into nitric oxide in the body, which plays a crucial role in vasodilation, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. By incorporating beetroot into a balanced diet, individuals may experience improved cardiovascular health, reduced risk of heart disease, and enhanced overall well-being. However, further research is necessary to fully understand the mechanisms of action and optimal dosage for various health conditions.

Pneumonia is a severe respiratory condition that can affect individuals of all ages. Its diagnosis traditionally relies on chest X-rays, interpreted by experienced physicians, a process that can be both time-intensive and demanding. Ultrasound imaging has emerged as an alternative diagnostic tool. Meanwhile, recent advances in deep learning have introduced automated frameworks capable of analyzing medical images to classify cases as either normal or pneumonia, offering a faster, reliable alternative comparable to expert evaluations. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of multiple deep learning models for classifying both ultrasound and chest X-ray images. The results demonstrate that a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) achieved the highest accuracy for ultrasound-based diagnosis with accuracy of 99.9%, whereas the VGG-16 model outperformed others in X-ray image classification. To enhance performance, six different X-ray datasets were combined and augmented. VGG-16 achieved the highest accuracy (95.7%).
Property appraisal via lens of property registration abundance – real estate market asymmetry assessment
Authors: Walacik Marek
Published: November 2024

Information on transaction prices and the ones characterizing the property as the subject of the valuation are essential for a proper valuation process. The accuracy and completeness of the collected set of information directly affects the quality of the valuation process. When market participants operate on the basis of unequal sets of information, information asymmetry is revealed. This research investigates the effects of information asymmetry on property market from the perspective of property registration abundance and mass appraisal systems. It explores how disparities in information abundance and quality within property registration and appraisal processes can affect market fairness and transparency. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it analyses property transaction data and tries to investigate effects of information asymmetry. The findings indicate that enhanced transparency and data quality can significantly reduce valuation discrepancies and lead to a more equitable real estate market. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at justifying information asymmetry’s negative effects, supporting for policies that promote information uniformity to improve the fairness and efficiency of property registration and mass appraisal practices.
Twice clustering based hybrid model for short-term passenger flow forecasting
Authors: Wang Sheng , Yang Xinfeng
Published: November 2024

Short-term metro passenger flow prediction plays a great role in traffic planning and management, and it is an important prerequisite for achieving intelligent transportation. So, a novel hybrid Support Vector Regression (SVR) model based on Twice Clustering (TC) is proposed for short-term metro passenger flow prediction. The training sets and test sets are generated by TC with respect to values of passenger flow in different time periods to improve the prediction accuracy. Furthermore, each obtained cluster is decomposed by using the Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) algorithm and the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) algorithm, respectively. The volatility of each component obtained after decomposition is further reduced. Then, the SVR model optimized by the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm is used to predict the decomposed components. Moreover, forecast based on one-month data from Xi’an Metro Line 2 Library Station (China). By comparing the prediction results of the TC condition, the Once Clustering (OC) condition and the non-clustering condition, it shows that the TC approach can adequately model the volatility and effectively improve the prediction accuracy. At the same time, experimental results show that the novel hybrid TC–CEEMDAN–GWO–SVR model has superior performance than Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimized SVR (SVR–GA) model and hybrid Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) model.
Uchida’s Theory of Magnetohydrodynamic Wave Refraction in an Inhomogeneous Medium: Testing the Theory with In Situ Measurements
Authors: Mullan D. J.
Published: November 2024

Uchida’s paper describes a theory of MHD wave propagation in an inhomogeneous medium. In theory, waves encountering spatial structures (such as active regions, coronal holes, and coronal streamers) should be refracted/reflected. In the solar corona, MHD waves are predicted to refract away from (or into) a structure, if the Alfvén speed V
A
increases (decreases) as the wave enters the structure. However, testing Uchida’s theory in the corona requires that local densities n

i
and field strengths B (required to calculate V
A) must be estimated indirectly. This limits significantly the reliability of testing Uchida’s theory in the corona. I suggest that, to better test the theory, a different medium should be explored, specifically, one where V
A can be precisely evaluated in situ. The solar wind is such a medium. A recent data set allows testing Uchida’s theory over a broad range of times (~2 solar cycles) and radial locations (~2.5–5.4 au).
A review of the Lurie problem and its applications in the medical and biological fields
Authors: Pinheiro Rafael F. , Fonseca-Pinto Rui , Colón Diego
Published: November 2024

This paper provided a review of the Lurie problem and its applications to control as well as modeling problems in the medical and biological fields, highlighting its connection with robust control theory, more specifically the works of Doyle, Skogestad, and Zhou. The Lurie problem involved the study of control systems with nonlinearities incorporated into the feedback loop. Providing a simpler and broader approach, this review returned to the Lurie problem, covering basic stability concepts and Aizerman's conjecture, establishing it as a special instance of the Lurie problem. The paper also explained the connection between the Lurie problem and robust control theory, which resulted in the establishment of new conditions for the Lurie problem. The principal contribution of this paper was a comprehensive review, utilizing the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology of the applications of the Lurie problem in the medical and biological fields, demonstrating its significance in various domains such as medical device controllers, mechanical ventilation systems, patient-robot-therapist collaboration, tele-surgery, fluid resuscitation control, nanobiomedicine actuators, anesthesia systems, cardiac mechanics models, oncology cell dynamics, epidemiological models, diabetes modeling, population dynamics and neuroscience, including artificial neural networks (ANN). This article seeked to present the latest advancements in the Lurie problem, offering an update for researchers in the area and a valuable starting point for new researchers with several suggestions for future work, showcasing the importance of Lurie-type systems theory in advancing medical research and applications.
¿Qué es el capital político? Analogías económicas, formas sociales y modos de apropiación e inversión en campos y mercados políticos
Authors: Joignant Alfredo
Published: November 2024

El capital político es una categoría muy presente tanto en la vida social como en la literatura en las ciencias sociales. En el mundo social, el ‘capital político’ funciona como expresión a través de usos ordinarios, mientras que en el campo científico aspira a existir como concepto. Con el fin de especificar el contenido de este concepto y su alcance explicativo, es imposible no solicitar a la sociología de Pierre Bourdieu, un autor que teorizó la noción de capital en relación con un campo. A diferencia de otros campos, Bourdieu incursionó de manera poco sistemática en el campo político y la especie de capital que allí predomina, el capital político, lo que explica las imprecisiones del concepto. Es para aclarar lo que cabe entender por capital político que este artículo toma seriamente en cuenta las analogías del razonamiento económico y sus límites para entender la operación de esta especie de capital cuando es invertida en el campo. Esto nos llevará a abordar este concepto pensando con, y a veces, contra Pierre Bourdieu.

In your research and daily life, you may have primarily relied on Google as your primary search engine. This general search tool may have successfully fulfilled your information needs thus far. However, as you advance through your studies, you reach a stage in your education at which you are expected to find and report on substantive, scholarly research conducted by professionals in a field, and Google no longer suffices. The sources for this type of scholarly information are peer-reviewed journals, books published by academic and university presses, and formal reports issued by government agencies. But these are not the type of sources that are accessed in a basic Google search. Therefore, search engines like Google are usually inadequate for the tasks you will be expected to accomplish. So, if you can't “just Google it,” how do you conduct research at this new level? One answer is the library!
Partager l’action paysagère avec des enfants pour interpeller le projet de paysage
Authors: Wormser Roxane
Published: November 2024

En tête du programme politique de la ville de Lille, la « métamorphose paysagère » et avec elle l’ambition de faire de Lille une « ville à hauteur d’enfants ». Depuis 2020, le portage politique de la majorité socialiste, en dialogue avec une forte opposition écologiste, conduit à réinterroger des pratiques instituées comme celle du projet de paysage dans une perspective transformatrice du cadre de vie urbain et paysager. Si le mot « paysage » est affiché politiquement, la question qui se pose à Lille comme à l’échelle nationale reste de savoir de quelles manières celui-ci se retrouve dans les actes (Besse, 2018). Il s’agit ici de proposer « la ville à hauteur d’enfants » comme piste de réponse. Dans ce contexte, la recherche doctorale prend la forme d’une « recherche en situation d’expérimentation » (Nicolas-Le Strat, 2018) et s’engage à l’intérieur des processus de projets de paysage lillois pensés avec des enfants pour interroger des modes de faire et des postures professionnelles. En nous appuyant sur les travaux du philosophe Jean-Marc Besse, nous entrerons dans le récit de deux exemples de projets réalisés à hauteur d’enfants à Lille et nous chercherons, dans cet article, à formuler des hypothèses de mouvements ou d’évolutions susceptibles d’interpeller la pratique de projet et de modifier notre rapport au paysage.
L’héritage paysager pour penser la transition écoclimatique d’un vignoble
Authors: Laidet Myriam , Moquay Patrick , La Jeunesse Isabelle
Published: November 2024

Cet article s’intéresse au paysage culturel de Savennières (Angers Loire Métropole, bien Unesco du Val de Loire) caractérisé par une forte densité de châteaux viticoles et de parcs paysagers. C’est aussi un vignoble très engagé en agriculture biologique. Une stratégie d’appellation est envisagée pour maintenir l’équilibre de l’écosystème viticole menacé par le changement climatique, mais aussi pour affirmer l’identité viticole perturbée par la périurbanisation métropolitaine d’Angers. Comment penser, grâce au paysage, le devenir de ce vignoble dans un contexte de transition écologique et climatique ? La méthode de la recherche est à la fois historique (diagnostic diachronique patrimonial et paysager) et sensible (parcours d’observation, analyse des perceptions et des représentations). L’objet est de caractériser la valeur culturelle du vignoble par l’expertise et le dialogue territorial. La finalité est d’explorer une nouvelle relation paysagère, associant éthique et esthétique au service d’une démarche d’agroécologie viticole.
Paysage, pratiques « habitantes » et aménagement des interfaces ville-fleuve à N’Djamena (Tchad)
Authors: Febo Mounsi
Published: November 2024

À l’instar de plusieurs autres villes africaines, N’Djamena connaît une croissance urbaine rapide et incontrôlée, ayant vu un triplement de sa population en trois décennies. Cela a engendré une forte demande en ressources et une pression accrue sur les espaces périphériques et les paysages associés au rang desquels figurent les rives du fleuve Chari, au régime pluvial tropical. Des quartiers périphériques spontanés, en lien avec le développement d’activités socio-économiques essentielles pour les habitants de N’Djamena, se sont implantés sur les rives du fleuve. Une telle situation est à l’origine d’une forte pression sur l’environnement fluvial mal prise en charge par les politiques d’aménagement urbain. Ces dernières s’appuient sur un Agenda 21 réalisé sur un mode top down, négligeant les savoir-faire des populations riveraines. Les inondations exceptionnelles de l’automne 2022 ont révélé ces manques. Cette contribution vise à explorer les actions et les réactions des autorités locales et des habitants au moment et après un événement qui s’est étalé sur plusieurs mois (crue lente). La démarche de recherche se fonde sur des observations participantes et des entretiens avec les différents acteurs chargés de l’aménagement des rives du fleuve, ainsi que sur une enquête auprès des personnes exerçant des activités sociospatiales au bord du fleuve. Les réflexions proposées sont issues d’une recherche doctorale intitulée « Les interfaces ville-fleuve en Afrique subsaharienne (fleuve Chari, N’Djamena, Tchad). Aménagement de l’espace et développement socio-économique à partir d’une prise en compte des pratiques habitantes ». Les enseignements tirés de cette catastrophe pourraient inspirer de nouvelles façons de gérer des espaces où interagissent politiques publiques, actions communautaires et pratiques « habitantes ».
Le toposcope et l’indicateur des alpes
Authors: Floch Rachel
Published: November 2024

Les tables d’orientation réalisées par le Touring Club de France (TCF) au début du xxe siècle sont des dispositifs qui donnent à voir des représentations composites du paysage, sur des plateformes circulaires ou demi-circulaires réalisées en lave émaillée. Dans le cadre d’une recherche de doctorat menée entre paysage et design, nous nous attachons à explorer cette double dynamique propre aux tables d’orientation : tout à la fois dispositif déployé dans l’espace et représentation paysagère. Nous émettons l’hypothèse d’un point de rencontre entre espace et image institué par la table d’orientation, qui serait un « édifice-image ». Il s’agira de comprendre comment ces objets sont insérés in situ dans un territoire et comment ils agissent, simultanément, in visu, en produisant une représentation paysagère dans le temps même de la marche. À travers l’analyse d’un corpus de textes rédigés par les membres du TCF et leurs collaborateurs entre 1903 et 1938, nous nous concentrerons sur deux dispositifs qui apparaissent, à la lecture du corpus choisi, comme les prototypes des tables d’orientation dressées par le TCF. Nous nous pencherons d’abord sur le toposcope, dispositif de surveillance militaire particulièrement en usage au cours du xviiie siècle, puis sur l’indicateur des Alpes, dispositif d’exploration touristique des sommets au cœur des Alpes suisses, en usage tout au long du xixe siècle. Nous verrons en quoi ces deux dispositifs, par les deux types de points de vue sur le paysage qu’ils construisent, l’un militaire, l’autre contemplatif et instructif, donnent naissance aux tables d’orientation, poursuivant chacun à leur manière une quête de dépassement des limites du visible.
El testamento de Ramiro Yáñez de Barnuevo
Authors: Baldacchino Laura
Published: November 2024

El hallazgo reciente de una copia medieval del testamento manuscrito de don Ramiro Yáñez de Barnuevo da luz a una parte histórica del linaje de los Barnuevo y, por extensión, de los Doce Linajes de Soria. Con el estudio y la edición de dicho testamento compuesto a mediados del siglo XV, posteriormente recogido y modificado en obras del siglo XVII, pretendemos volver a las fuentes históricas medievales. Este retorno permite a aportar informaciones valiosas no solo sobre el personaje y el linaje de los Barnuevo, sino también sobre el contexto social y político de la época. Asimismo, los datos proporcionados en el testamento de 1435 disipan varias incertidumbres como la presencia del linaje en el convento de los franciscanos de Soria, hoy en ruinas, y contribuir al estudio de la testamentaría en la Baja Edad Media.
Norms as functions
Authors: Narváez Mora Maribel
Published: November 2024

This article introduces a model of norms as functions. Drawing on the notions of direction of fit and maximal solution, a concept of normative function is elaborated. Norms thus understood would distribute correctness and incorrectness over classes of actions and their complements. The model is normative and therefore follows some principles of normative rationality. Three features of the norm-as-function model are presented: the non-need to deal with conditionals to represent norms, the non-existence of formal negations of norms, and the difference between the notions of blockade and antinomy. In the language of norms-as-functions, it is possible to speak of logical consequences without logical relations between functions.
Les syndicats dans les entreprises coopératives
Authors: Wagner Anne Catherine
Published: November 2024

Les entreprises coopératives mettent en avant leur dimension « morale » au sens durkheimien du terme, parce qu’elles ont pour vocation première de servir l’intérêt collectif de leurs sociétaires. Prenant appui sur une enquête menée auprès de plusieurs Scop, l’article montre les difficultés que rencontrent les syndicalistes dans ces entreprises où chaque membre est censé occuper simultanément la position de salarié, de décideur et d’actionnaire. Il s’agit d’éclairer les dilemmes moraux auxquels font face les syndicalistes sociétaires, et de montrer comment ceux-ci conduisent à une redéfinition des fonctions syndicales.
Des les·bi·ennes respectables
Authors: Fisson Estelle
Published: November 2024

Adoptant une approche par la respectabilité, l’article s’interroge sur la façon dont les femmes lesbiennes et bisexuelles qui militent dans un syndicat ouvrier gèrent l’information stigmatisante de leur orientation sexuelle. Plus souvent que leurs collègues gais ou hétérosexuelles, ou que les lesbiennes des classes moyennes, elles mettent en avant l’importance du mariage, de la monogamie et de la durée de leur relation. Elles minimisent les discriminations vécues et, plus rarement, se désolidarisent de la cause LGBT. Morale sexuelle et éthique du travail vont de pair. Le surinvestissement dans le travail, fréquent chez les personnes LGBT, persiste dans les commissions LGBT des syndicats, en partie du fait du manque de légitimité de cette cause. Toutefois, ces femmes valorisent surtout le travail en dehors du syndicat, refusant souvent une longue carrière au sein de ce dernier. Cette quête de respectabilité est plus marquée en Espagne qu’en France, en raison de l’âge des enquêté·es et du poids de la morale catholique dans leur socialisation. L’apparition plus récente de commissions LGBT dans le syndicat, et les fédérations et localités d’origine des enquêté·es expliquent l’importance de se montrer respectable.
Quand les marchands d’estampes parlaient boutique

À partir de sondages dans quelques documents d’archives parisiens du xviiie siècle, cet article se propose de tenter une première approche du vocabulaire professionnel employé par les éditeurs et imprimeurs pour décrire matrices et épreuves. Émerge une terminologie, utile pour détailler la qualité, le format, la typologie des images. Témoignant de l’entre-soi, propre à chaque communauté de métier, elle porte, dans bien des cas, la marque d’un implicite qui pourrait être éclairci, avec l’aide des techniques de fouilles de données, par une étude systématique d’un corpus documentaire beaucoup plus vaste.
Morceaux doubles, premières épreuves, et différences presque imperceptibles : l’évolution et la formalisation de la description des états au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Gallay Antoine
Published: November 2024

Aujourd’hui le terme d’« état » est employé pour distinguer deux épreuves issues d’un même cuivre mais qui présentent cependant des différences en raison de retouches effectuées entretemps par le graveur. Cet article s’attache à montrer comment ces différences acquirent progressivement de la valeur auprès des amateurs. Si elles avaient initialement pu susciter de la curiosité et de l’étonnement, c’est surtout le jeu de significations qu’on commença à leur prêter au cours du xviiie siècle qui détermina leur succès. En parallèle, l’émergence des catalogues raisonnés devait encourager encore l’identification et la recherche des différents états, contribuant ainsi à arrêter leur sens et à formaliser la manière de les décrire.

In the financial market, the stock market, as a crucial component, attracts widespread attention. However, traditional stock market predictions mainly rely on historical data, overlooking the influence of financial news and investor sentiment on the market. This study proposes a novel stock market prediction model, CAB-LSTM, utilizing financial news text data mining and sentiment analysis. The model integrates news topics and sentiment features, demonstrating higher accuracy compared to traditional models. Research results indicate that the CAB-LSTM model effectively forecasts stock market trends, mitigating trading risks, and offering new perspectives for investment decisions. This study provides theoretical support for stock market prediction and sentiment analysis based on financial news text data mining.
A red and warm abdomen. What’s the matter?
Authors: Poggiali Erika , Giosia Valeria , Coen Daniele
Published: November 2024

An 83-year-old woman presented to our emergency department for a fever with nausea and an itching skin rash on her abdomen for two days. She suffered from obesity, Parkinson disease, and depression in treatment with Levodopa/Benserazide and Pramipexole, respectively. She underwent mastectomy for left breast cancer ten years earlier. She denied any allergies or use of antibiotics. Her vital signs were blood pressure 120/65 mmHg, heart rate 72 bpm, peripheral oxygen saturation 94% in room air, respiratory rate 18/min, and body temperature 36.2 °C. Examination of her abdomen revealed an extensive red warm rash without blisters or blebs, with a slight skin oedema confirmed by point-of-care ultrasound, that excluded a subcutaneous abscess, pneumoniae, liver and kidney damage, and cholecystitis. Laboratory findings showed WBC 12,400/mm3 (N 59.5%) and CRP 131 mg/L (n.v. < 5). Procalcitonin was 0.3 ng/mL (n.v. < 0.5). SARS-CoV-2 infection was excluded.

Published: November 2024

A 72-year-old woman presented with stage III pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and chose a vaginal support device (VSD) after discussing the various options. Different types and sizes were tried, a Gellhorn pessary was inserted, and the woman was comfortable and able to retain it. The woman was advised to attend follow-up after 3 months. Unfortunately, she did not. She presented complaining of the passage of minimal feculent vaginal discharge 5 months after insertion. A pelvic examination was performed and showed a rectovaginal fistula (RVF). Conservative management was chosen. After 2 months, the RVF healed completely. VSDs are commonly used in the management of POP and very rarely lead to the development of RVF, mostly in neglected cases. While surgery is most often used to treat RVF, conservative management is very rarely adopted and may be considered in selected cases.

Urban land ownership and the housing question in Germany: Insights from Catholic social ethics
Authors: Degan Julian
Published: November 2024

As one measure to combat the housing affordability crisis, land policy is once again receiving more attention. However, it is little known that Catholic social ethicists in Germany were also heavily involved in urban land policy debates between 1950 and 1980. Along the lines of Catholic property ethics, they criticised that land law at the time was too strongly geared towards the interests of private owners and too little towards the common good. They considered this to be particularly problematic as they ascribed a strong social character to land ownership, which was hardly taken into account by land law and therefore led to unjustified privileges for landowners. In order to create a balance between the individual character and the social character of land ownership, they suggested, among other things, to tax land more heavily, to strengthen the public sector as a property owner and to improve spatial planning measures. The renaissance of land policy and the example of the city of Ulm, which successfully pursues an active land policy, testify to the topicality of the Catholic social ethicists’ position on urban land policy. However, a crucial deficit of this position is that it does not take into account ecological requirements of land use.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article combines insights from economics and Catholic social ethics. It is aimed at academics from economics, theology or housing studies as well as anyone from politics and civil society who is concerned with the ‘housing question’.
Decolonial cities: Considering the potential of the periphery in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: McGeoch Graham G.
Published: November 2024

Augustine has long set the ‘gold standard’ for any theology of the city. However, in the Americas, Thomas Aquinas’ De regimine principum exerts a greater practical and political influence as it was the basis for the instructions of Spanish and Portuguese crowns to the conquistadores. Colonial city architecture and urban planning followed Christian medieval principles and deliberately excluded indigenous villages, enslaved peoples, the urban poor and other religions from urban imaginaries in the Americas. This medieval (colonial) theology of the city has failed the peripheries of the Americas, as it has trapped theology in an instinctively negative attitude towards the city. This essay, firstly, establishes the legacy of colonial Christian imaginaries of the city in the Americas and explores the Christian political contributions to that worldview. Secondly, it presents a decolonial concept of the city in the Americas (specifically through a presentation of the city of Rio de Janeiro) – fostering an inclusive and just imaginary – based on the potential of the peripheries and insights from liberation theology. This potential of the periphery resists racist, authoritarian and exclusionary definitions of the periphery which are instinctively negative in the theological literature.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article presents a decolonial critique of the Thomist city. It draws on resources from theology, history and the social sciences and presents strategies for future reflection in urbanism (urban planning) and architecture.
Future(s) for the church on the corner: A proposed praxis of spatial justice for South African congregations
Authors: Powell Caroline J.
Published: November 2024

South Africa, is a racially, economically and spatially divided nation, a legacy of our colonial and apartheid histories. Thirty years into democracy, discourse across all spheres of society around land, spatial and housing justice continues to provoke questions about the political and societal will for making access to land ownership and space for dignified, humane living an accessible reality for all who live in South Africa. All denominations are not and should not be separated from this discourse as they are an integral part of the colonial and apartheid land, spatial history and current reality of contestation. A study focusing on suburban churches in previous whites-only southern suburbs of the City of Cape Town was conducted in the few months before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns of 2020. An emancipatory approach explored the praxis of these churches in relationship to South Africa’s ongoing concern with land reform within the context of urban land (in)justice and put this into conversation with the questions of church-owned land and property usage. This article revisits the key findings of the study incorporating two key elements of a praxis-based approach: theological reflection and action towards transformation. The article connects the findings to the authors’ autoethnographic reflections and research on the unfolding praxis of (sub)urban churches during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. To conclude, South African churches are invited into an ongoing emancipatory approach to address the issues of urban land injustice, and embrace a praxis of spatial justice, which includes concrete steps towards creating faith-based ‘Just Housing’.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article presents a conversation on church and spatial histories, and current realities alongside emerging theologies that ’foster inclusive and just social imaginaries‘ and ’make room for utopic possibilities to play out‘.

Among the key figures of global housing inequality is the average living space per person. Thus, it comes as no surprise that during the past decade, tiny houses have become an attractive option for some who want to set an example in an affluent society of the global north: free-standing, two-storey building with a total floor space of less than 30 m2. At the same time, in many countries of the global south, people are confined to a similar floorspace – not out of choice but out of need. In bringing together these two very different contexts, I am arguing that from a perspective of capability justice, the concept of home is more than just the need for shelter. In order to enable people to participate in societal life, housing solutions require processes of urban transformation, as well as careful planning and design for social housing. Even in a situation of hardship, living in a small-scale house can be a step towards a realisation of concepts of the good life within the given circumstances. Taking up Charles Taylor’s concept of social imaginaries and presenting architectural examples from the Mexican context (Apan housing laboratory and work done by Tatiana Bilbao), I am drawing some unlikely parallels between the effects that tiny houses, on the one hand, and suggestions for social housing, on the other hand, might have within their respective societies. In this, the concept of social imaginaries helps to see parallels between architecture as a medium of the social and the role of religion.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article argues that in questions of housing justice, architectural solutions can fruitfully supplement considerations of justice.

Authors: Sabhlok Aishwary , Choudhary Vivek , Singhal Rochit , Rathoriya Shyam Govind , Ali Manal Ashraf
Published: November 2024

Background:

Due to their overlapping clinical and histopathological features, the definitive diagnosis of papulosquamous skin diseases can only be made through clinicohistopathological association.

Methods:

Over a period of 18 months, we studied 100 patients with clinically suspected non-infectious papulosquamous skin lesions. Diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological examination using haematoxylin and eosin stain. The clinical pattern was associated with histopathological findings.

Results:

The results showed that the majority of the patients were in the age group of 21–30 years, with a male preponderance. The upper limbs were the most frequently involved site. Psoriasis was the most common papulosquamous skin disease, followed by lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, pityriasis rubra pilaris, lichen nitidus, pityriasis lichenoides, lichen striatus and parapsoriasis. Psoriasiform reaction was found to be more common than lichenoid tissue reaction. The study demonstrated a positive clinicohistopathological association in 86% of cases.

Conclusions:

Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis in 86% of cases, provided the diagnosis in 6% of cases and was non-contributory in 8% of cases.
Clinical and radiological outcome of three treatment modalities for fracture clavicle: A comparative prospective study
Authors: Kumar Kamal , Kapila Rajesh , Singh Raminder , Chaudhary Priti
Published: November 2024

Background:

The present treatment trend for fracture clavicle is fast changing from conservative treatment previously and is having a paradigm shift towards open reduction and internal fixation with a plate/intramedullary (IM) fixation.

Methods:

Ninety patients between 30 and 60 years of age with fresh closed, displaced midshaft clavicular fracture and fit for surgery were randomised to receive either conservative (non-operative) treatment (n = 30) or primary open reduction and plate fixation or IM fixation (n = 30).

Results:

The mean age of the patients was 32.5 years. Union at the fracture site in nailing clavicle in <12 weeks was evident in 80% patients (66.6% and 53.3% in plating and conservative method). The complication rate was maximum in the conservative method (63.3%), followed by plating (36.6%) and least in nailing clavicle (29%). The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score at 1 year was the best in nailing (n = 8), followed by plating (n = 12) and then the conservative method (n = 27). The Constant–Murley score at 1 year was also the best in nailing (nailing 94.5 [excellent], plating 92.7 [excellent] and conservative 70 [good]).

Conclusions:

The titanium elastic nailing system provides stable fixation, faster union and better functional outcomes in patients with fracture of the clavicle.
Comparison of two methods for the measurement of serum bicarbonate
Authors: Thej M. Keerthi , Thota Silpa , Arslan Mohammed

Accurate bicarbonate measurement is critical in diagnosing acid–base disorders, particularly in critically ill patients. This study compared serum bicarbonate levels measured by enzymatic and direct ion selective electrode (ISE) methods to assess their agreement. Thirty-three patient samples were analysed at the Department of Biochemistry, Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences, Tirupati, India. Bicarbonate levels were measured using the Beckman Coulter AU480 analyser (enzymatic method) and the Sensa Core ST-200 Aqua analyser (direct ISE method). Both methods demonstrated good precision, with imprecision values under 2% and biases within acceptable limits. The Bland–Altman analysis showed limits of agreement between −2.9 and 4.5 mmol/L, with a mean bias of 0.8 mmol/L, indicating method agreement. Passing–Bablok regression revealed a minor systematic error in the ISE method, with an (intercept 1.75, slope 0.9406), indicating slight underestimation by ISE compared to the enzymatic method. While both methods are comparable and can be used interchangeably in laboratory settings, caution is recommended in critical care. Larger studies are necessary to confirm comparability across wider ranges, supporting redundancy and result interpretation in larger laboratories.

Authors: Rai Nisha , Ranjan Rajeev K. , Xalxo Anima R. , Toppo Suresh K.
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors represent a complex category of neoplasms with varied biological behavior and prognosis. Accurate diagnosis and characterization of these tumors are essential for appropriate management. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) are commonly employed imaging modalities for evaluating soft tissue masses.

Materials and Methods:

This comparative study included 100 patients with clinically suspected musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors. Patients underwent both MRI and Ultrasound evaluations. The imaging findings were compared with histopathological results, which served as the gold standard. Diagnostic parameters including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for both MRI and Ultrasound.

Results:

Out of 100 patients, 70 cases were diagnosed as malignant and 30 as benign on histopathology. MRI correctly identified 68 malignant and 28 benign cases, with a sensitivity of 97.1%, specificity of 93.3%, PPV of 95.8%, and NPV of 96.6%. Ultrasound accurately diagnosed 60 malignant and 25 benign cases, with a sensitivity of 85.7%, specificity of 83.3%, PPV of 90.9%, and NPV of 76.9%. MRI demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to Ultrasound, particularly in identifying malignancies.

Conclusion:

MRI is a more reliable imaging modality compared to Ultrasound for diagnosing musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors, particularly in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions. The higher sensitivity and specificity of MRI suggest its preference as the first-line imaging technique in clinical practice for these conditions.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a persistent middle ear infection often leading to conductive hearing loss due to ossicular chain damage. Accurate preoperative assessment using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is crucial for surgical planning. This study compares preoperative HRCT findings with intraoperative ossicular chain status in CSOM patients.

Aims and Objectives:

To evaluate the correlation between preoperative computed tomography scans and intraoperative ossicular chain status in CSOM patients.

Methodology:

The study included 60 CSOM patients aged 12 to 60 years attending the ENT department at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi. Preoperative HRCT was performed, and intraoperative findings were compared. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 17.0.

Results:

Ossicular erosion was observed in 61.7% of cases, predominantly affecting the incus. HRCT showed high sensitivity and specificity in detecting ossicular chain damage, aligning with intraoperative findings.

Conclusion:

HRCT provides valuable preoperative insights but should complement intraoperative assessment. Combining both approaches ensures accurate diagnosis and effective management of CSOM.

ABSTRACT

This article reports the full mouth rehabilitation of a 59-year-old male patient with completely edentulous upper and lower arches using the All-on-Six endosseous implant technique. The treatment involved placing six implants in both the upper and lower arches, followed by the placement of temporary dentures during the osseointegration period. After 15 weeks, impressions of the implants were taken using additional silicone (VPS). The final prosthesis, consisting of a Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) framework with Zirconia crowns, was designed to ensure optimal aesthetics and function. This case underscores the importance of meticulous diagnosis, planning, and treatment in the successful rehabilitation of implant-supported dentures.
