Abstract

Introduction : Bilateral INO is a rare disease caused by a lesion in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) in the pons, resulting in adduction deficit. Progression to ptosis is rare and may confuse with pseudo-INO as in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG). This case aims to report progressive ptosis in bilateral INO that mimics pseudo-INO.

Case Illustration : A 36-year-old woman complained sudden binocular diplopia 4 days before admission. Bilateral adduction deficits (-3 and -2 of right and left eye, respectively) with nystagmus were seen. There was no ptosis. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral INO. One month later, the patient returned with bilateral ptosis. The marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) were 0 on both eyes. Post fatigue and ice pack test showed 2mm difference of MRD1. The single fiber electromyography (EMG) result came out negative with jitter <10%. Brain MRI revealed lesions in the posterior pons and periaqueductal on the level of midbrain.

Discussion : The MLF controls 6th and contralateral 3rd cranial nerve nucleus for horizontal gaze. Ptosis in INO can occurred due to central caudal subnucleus involvement in midbrain that innervates levator palpebra. The result of fatigue and ice pack test may be misleading, as those are not pathognomonic for OMG. The single-fiber EMG are valuable modalities to exclude pseudo-INO in this case.

Conclusion : Progressive bilateral ptosis may occur in bilateral INO. Fatigue and ice pack test may give false- positive results leading to confusion with pseudo-INO, rather than true INO. Supporting examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Introduction : Congenital upper eyelids ectropion, is a very rare congenital condition characterized by everted upper eyelids associated with Ichthyosis, Blepharophymosis Syndrome, birth trauma and prominently appears in Down’s syndrome. This case aimed to report a rare case of congenital ectropion in an Down’s syndrome with further management considerations, conservative or operative.

Case Illustration : A three-month-old baby with bilateral red upper eyelids swelling since birth with conjunctival swelling followed by yellowish discharge. Born through section caesarean from a mother with history of pre-eclampsia and being incubated for 24 days. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral upper eyelids eversion, minimal conjunctival chemosis, epicantal fold. The upper eyelids able to be repositioned in relaxed state and re-everted with forced lid closure. Treatment of the eyelids eversion was conservative, combining antibiotics, topical steroids and lubricants. We referred to the pediatrician for the management of Down’s Syndrome, the further management for the eyelids eversion still debatable.

Discussion : Most infants with congenital ectropion showed excellent anatomic and functional results with conservative treatment if managed timely and promptly. However, infants with Down’s syndrome have a more complicated course due to complex periorbital anatomy and facial anomalies such as flattened face, almond shaped eyes and large nose’s bridge. If congenital ectropion accompanied by lagophthalmos and exposure keratopathy, surgical management should be considered.

Conclusion : Congenital eyelids ectropion can be managed conservatively or surgically depend on the clinical courses. Mild case able to be managed conservatively with excellent results if managed timely but surgical management supposed to be considered in complicated case.
Long-term outcomes of LASIK for myopia
Authors: Mattarungan Monica , Tania
Published: February 2024

Introduction & Objectives : Myopia is a major healthcare burden worldwide. Refractive surgery is used to correct refractive error for patients who wanted less reliance on glasses and contact lenses. LASIK is one of the most commonly used procedures for correction of myopia. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of LASIK procedure for myopia.

Methods : A literature search was conducted for the years of 2017 to 2013 from PubMed with the search term "LASIK" AND "myopia" AND ("efficacy" OR "long-term outcomes"). All abstracts were reviewed and evaluated, and articles relevant to the topic was reviewed for this study.

Results : Out of 71 articles from search results, 7 articles were selected for review. At the last follow up from 3-12 years, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of -0.03 – 0.39 logMAR was achieved. Around 64% - 90% patients achieved UDVA of 20/20 or better. Myopic progression was found with the mean of 0.63 – 0.97 D. The efficacy index and safety index was at 0.67 - 1.01 MR and 1.02 - 1.09 respectively at the end of follow up.

Conclusion : The data showed that LASIK had an excellent long-term safety and efficacy for treatment of myopia, although small percentage of patients experienced mild myopic progression.

Abstract: Children with cerebral palsy are present with three types of motor problems. The major disturbances in muscle tone, balance, strength, and selectivity are directly related to damage of the central nervous system. Treatment programs encompass physical and behavioral therapy, pharmacologic and surgical treatments, mechanical aids, and management of associated medical conditions. In physical, occupational, speech, and behavioral therapies, the goals include enhancing patient and caregiver interactions while providing family support. We reported a female, 7-year-old, with cerebral palsy spastic diplegic GMFCS IV MACS I CFCS IV EDACS II. The patient was treated with USD intensity 1 watt/cm2, frequency 3.3 MHz in 5 minutes and continuous stretching in four extremity for 10 minutes each. It showed improvement from the popliteal angle assessment and MAS score, therefore, additional invasive therapy, such as botox injection, might be not needed in the meantime. Stiffness in lower extremities especially at gastrocnemius muscle was treated with ESWT energy of 0.15mJ/mm2; total shots dose 1500 shocks per each treated muscle (gastrocnemius); frequency 4 Hz. The patient presented with lumbar hyperlordotic and anterior pelvic tilt, and also tended to sway posteriorly during standing and walking, resulting poor protection reaction on the anterior side. It will be beneficial to add abdominal core and hip extensor strengthening exercise into the program. For walking aids, we considered about using anterior walker or posterior walker. However, since the patient was 4 years old and could not take complex instruction, it might become challenging to modify the exercise protocol. Regular daily stretching was beneficial for the home program and should be continued. Referral to surgery was not required at this moment due to no joint contracture.

Published: February 2024

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) is useful for edge computing, although the challenge is to improve computational performance. In this study, we developed an inverted input method, the inverted input is additionally applied to a physical reservoir together with the original input, to improve the performance of the ion-gating reservoir. The error in the second-order nonlinear equation task was 7.3 × 10−5, the lowest error in reported PRC to date. Improvement of high dimensionality by the method was confirmed to be the origin of the performance enhancement. This inverted input method is versatile enough to enhance the performance of any other PRC.

Financial instruments of crisis reversal in the Russian economy
Authors: Ivleva E. S. , Rumyantseva A. Yu. , Tserkasevich L. V.
Published: February 2024

Aim. To study the economic crises that occurred in the Russian Federation (RF) from 1991 to 2022 from the point of view of analyzing the causes of their occurrence and the factors of reversal, as well as identifying the chances of overcoming the stages of slowdown and decline in economic dynamics, including those associated with digitalization.

Objectives. To reveal the causes of economic crises by identifying the risks realized during this or that crisis; to determine the financial instruments of economic crises reversal in the Russian economy since 1991; to identify the chances of the economic system to overcome the stages of slowdown and decline in economic dynamics and to turn the economic system to sustainable growth.

Methods. General scientific methods, including comparative, retrospective and analogy methods, were used as methodological tools.

Results. The article identifies the realized risks of economic crises in the Russian Federation, from the crisis of 1991 to the crisis of 2022. As chances of economic growth in the period of digital transformation of the economy and the financial sector, the risks of innovative financial technologies, risks of digitalization of the banking sector, risks of insurance and financial services were identified. Financial and non-financial tools to turn the economic crisis to the recovery period and subsequent sustainable growth were identified.

Conclusions. Any crisis is based not only on factors that aggravate and destabilize its parameters, but also on factors that present new chances for further economic development. When assessing economic dynamics during crises, one should take into account the realized risks, possible chances and tools for economic turnaround, including financial and non-financial instruments. Financial instruments, which allow to implement extraordinary management decisions, serve as instruments of turnaround. Additional state budget expenditures from the reserve fund (until 2017) or from the national welfare fund represent corrective financing in periods of uncertainty and are associated with emergency management decisions during crises, including during a special military operation. The main task of the regulator is to limit the negative effects of realized internal and external risks.
Referencing and Citation in Liber manualis
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Radu Gabriela
Published: February 2024

The ancient people of Egypt or Greece would often cite the works of their predecessors in their own texts, as a way of giving credit and building on existing knowledge. However, the concept of referencing as we know it today, with specific conventions and guidelines for citing sources, has its origins in the academic and scholarly communities of the Middle Ages. Scholars in the Middle Ages would often cite the works of their predecessors to validate their own arguments and to show the continuity of ideas and knowledge. This paper tries to establish the particular way Dhuoda of Septimania, a writer from the 9th century, the author of an advice book, adhere to the tradition of quotation. The analysis shows that the medieval author of Liber manualis cited other writers more informally, appropriate and mnemonic. The paper also stresses the importance Duoda has given to citing sources as a way of valorizing her own work in the light of authority.
Perpetual Rewriting: Sylvia Plath’s Biographies
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Glavan Gabriela
Published: February 2024

For almost four decades after she died, Sylvia Plath’s executors (The Sylvia Plath Estate) carefully guarded biographical details concerning the circumstances of the writer’s final months of life. As generations passed and archives opened, Plath scholarship was enriched with new perspectives feeding on new materials and documents. I shall explore the impact of archival elements on the constant revising and rewriting of Sylvia Plath’s biography, while also discussing the relevance of the unpublished manuscripts of some biographers. Despite their long and thorough documentation, they abandoned their projects, leaving, in sealed archives now open, massive amounts of research materials that can now be reevaluated.
Rereading “Danube” After Thirty Years. Bucharest in Claudio Magris’ Book
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Cionchin Afrodita Carmen
Published: February 2024

The article marks the anniversary, in 2024, of thirty years since the publication of the Romanian translation of the famous Danube (Milan, Garzanti, 1986) by Claudio Magris, which had immediately earned him the Bagutta Prize 1987, consecrating him among the highest contemporary Italian writers. The Romanian version was released in 1994 at the Univers publishing house in Bucharest in the “Spectrum” series, with the translation of the historian Adrian Niculescu, who was exiled to Italy in the 1980s. The proposed analysis is based on the presentation of the material concerning Romania within the literary work, as a premise of the speech on the Mitteleuropa versus the Europe of the South-East. Among the four historic Romanian regions, three can be identified as the main topics of the volume: Banat, Transylvania and Wallachia (Moldova is missing, as it does not concern the Danubian journey), with the mention that Banat and Transylvania are treated in a distinct chapter entitled Nonna Anka, while the other part of the Romanian territory, Wallachia, appears in the Matoas chapter. Claudio Magris’ literary image of Bucharest manages to configure the urban identity in its peculiarities deriving from the overlap of three different layers with paradigmatic value, corresponding to the main stages of its historical development.
Expressive Speech Acts Used to Open and Close Dialogues in Present-Day Romanian
Authors:   Universitatea Tehnică din Cluj-Napoca, Centrul Universitar Nord Baia Mare, Felecan Daiana
Published: February 2024

The following paper starts from the acknowledgment that, in the present-day Romanian language, interlocutors display an increased preference for the use of unconventional devices as opening and closing sequences of speech acts. Their employment depends on the type of context in which a verbal interaction takes place (formal vs informal context) and on the parameters of social distance and communicative force, which determine the relationship between the participants in a certain speech act. Conventional greetings are also taken into consideration in research, but the purpose of the paper is to prove that in addition to standard greetings, certain expressive speech acts, which “borrow” their functions, may be found. Some of the expressive speech acts that have been analyzed have positive connotations (e.g., compliments, praises, appreciations, condolences), as their formation is based on maintaining a harmonious relationship between interlocutors. Other expressive speech acts have negative connotations (e.g., insults, imprecations, reproaches, criticisms), since they are based on the destructive nature of the interpersonal relationships in which they originate. The paper analyzes such verbal sequences, which enclose dialogues, and highlights the functions that they develop in communication. To this end, concepts and precepts from the theory of speech acts are used, and the overall methodological framework pertains to pragmatics.

Marcuse e la critica della tolleranza
Authors: Righetti Stefano
Published: February 2024

Facendo riferimento alla riflessione di Marcuse, il presente saggio intende sottolineare le ambiguità che caratterizzano il concetto di tolleranza, sia nelle definizioni del pensiero liberale che nel contesto del neocapitalismo. In questo contesto, secondo Marcuse, la critica della tolleranza deve infatti porsi come una messa in discussione di ogni idea di tolleranza intesa come pluralismo acritico, nonché di ogni pretesa puramente identitaria (o anche individualistica), che non sappia collocare la propria lotta in una visione di cambiamento generale.
 
Referring to Marcuse's reflection, this essay intends to underline the ambiguities that characterize the concept of tolerance, both in the definitions of liberal thought and in the context of the consumer society of neo-capitalism. In this context, the critique of tolerance must therefore pose itself, for Marcuse, as a questioning of every idea of tolerance understood as a-critical pluralism, as well as of every purely identity (or even individualistic) claim, that does not place its own struggles in a general vision of change.
The prosody of reported speech in spoken French
Authors: Martin Philippe
Published: February 2024

Molti studi sembrano confermare che il discorso riportato è contrassegnato prosodicamente da variabili percettive come la variazione del tono, la durata della pausa, la velocità del discorso, l'estensione del tono più alta, ecc. Tuttavia, i dati analizzati estratti dai dataset ORFEO e OFROM, che raccolgono vari corpora di discorsi spontanei in francese con vari stili e provenienze geografiche, mostrano che se i monologhi sono spesso caratterizzati da una pausa che introduce i segmenti riportati, non è affatto così è il caso dei dialoghi informali, in cui i segmenti introduttivi sono per lo più posizionati all'inizio o al centro della frase e integrati nella struttura prosodica complessiva della frase. La presenza di una pausa nei monologhi per segnalare la presenza di un segmento del discorso riportato in una frase riflette un “pregiudizio della lingua scritta” legato alla presenza di virgolette nelle rappresentazioni scritte del discorso riportato.   Many studies seem to confirm that reported speech is marked prosodically by perceptive variables such as pitch variation, pause duration, speech rate, higher pitch range, etc. However, analyzed data extracted from the ORFEO and OFROM data sets, which bring together various corpora of spontaneous speech in French with various styles and geographic origins, show that if monologs are often characterized by a pause introducing the reported segments, it is not at all the case for informal dialogs, where introducing segments are mostly located at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence and integrated in the overall sentence prosodic structure. The presence of a pause in monologs to signal the occurrence of a reported speech segment in a sentence reflects a “written language bias” linked to the presence of quoting marks in written representations of reported speech.
Inferno, post-inferno.
Authors: Montanelli Marina
Published: February 2024

Il presente contributo ha per tema il nesso concettuale labirinto-inferno. Muovendo brevemente dalla sua origine arcaico-mitologica e assumendone la successiva declinazione cristiana, l’articolo approfondisce poi più propriamente la traduzione secolarizzata e in termini di fantasmagoria dello stesso. Ciò a partire dall’avvento della seconda modernità, quindi dalla transizione al capitalismo avanzato e attraverso autori di riferimento quali i surrealisti Louis Aragon e André Breton, Roger Caillois, Walter Benjamin. Infine il testo propone un’attualizzazione dell’idea labirintico-infernale nel contesto categoriale delle analisi del postmoderno fino allo scenario contemporaneo, interrogando alcuni dei problemi principali posti dalla rivoluzione digitale, la relazione immagine-realtà, le oscillazioni tra il catastrofismo tecnofobico e le utopie accelerazioniste, il dissolvimento delle fantasmagorie del presente.
 
This contribution deals with the conceptual nexus of the labyrinth and hell. Starting briefly from its archaic-mythological origin and assuming its subsequent Christian declination, the article then delves more specifically into its secularised translation and in terms of phantasmagoria. This starts with the advent of modernity, then the transition to advanced capitalism and through reference authors such as the surrealists Louis Aragon and André Breton, Roger Caillois and Walter Benjamin. Finally, the text proposes an actualisation of the labyrinthine-infernal idea in the categorical context of the analyses of postmodernism up to the contemporary scenario, questioning some of the main problems posed by the digital revolution, the image-reality relation, the oscillations between technophobic catastrophism and accelerationist utopias, the dissolution of the phantasmagorias of the present.

Metode pengambilan data menggunakan transek garis sepanjang 100 meter ke arah laut dengan bingkai kuadrat 1 meter, dan setiap kuadrat dibagi menjadi 16 kotak kecil berukuran 25 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Caulerpa racemosa mendominasi di tiga stasiun penelitian. Stasiun 1 memiliki 663 individu dengan persentase 83%, stasiun 2 dengan 626 individu atau 76%, dan stasiun 3 dengan 139 individu dan persentase 80%. Sedangkan spesies Caulerpa lentillifera juga terdeteksi, tetapi dengan jumlah lebih rendah. Analisis menggunakan Indeks Morisita menunjukkan bahwa pola sebaran Caulerpa racemosa bersifat mengelompok. Hal ini mungkin dipengaruhi oleh respons terhadap perubahan cuaca dan musim. Penutupan relatif Caulerpa racemosa mencapai nilai tertinggi, yaitu 80%, sementara Caulerpa lentillifera hanya mencapai 20%. Frekuensi relatif Caulerpa racemosa juga lebih tinggi, sebesar 53%, dibandingkan dengan Caulerpa lentillifera sebesar 47%. Penelitian ini memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas tentang dominansi dan pola penyebaran Caulerpa racemosa di Pantai Puntondo. Hasilnya dapat menjadi dasar untuk pemahaman lebih lanjut tentang ekologi anggur laut dan konservasi sumber daya alam di perairan tersebut.
Sea weed, otherwise known as Caulerpa racemosa, are a type of green algae that live widely in several regions of Indonesia. This research aims to collect data about the distribution pattern of sea grapes in the waters of Puntondo Beach, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi. The data collection method uses a 100 meter line transect towards the sea with a square frame of 1 meter, and each square is divided into 16 small squares measuring 25 cm. The results showed that Caulerpa racemosa dominated at the three research stations. Station 1 has 663 individuals with a percentage of 83%, station 2 with 626 individuals or 76%, and station 3 with 139 individuals and a percentage of 80%. Meanwhile, the Caulerpa lentillifera species was also detected, but in lower numbers. Analysis using the Morisita Index shows that the distribution pattern of Caulerpa racemosa is clustered. This may be influenced by responses to changes in weather and seasons. The relative cover of Caulerpa racemosa reached the highest value, namely 80%, while Caulerpa lentillifera only reached 20%. The relative frequency of Caulerpa racemosa was also higher, at 53%, compared to Caulerpa lentillifera at 47%. This research provides a clearer picture of the dominance and distribution pattern of Caulerpa racemosa on Puntondo Beach. The results can serve as a basis for further understanding of the ecology of sea grapes and conservation of natural resources in these waters.
