Authors: Cornelius Amanda , Ramaprabhu Krithika , Stephens Elizabeth , Saran Nishant , Pochettino Alberto
Published: July 2023

Circulatory arrest and left heart bypass are the most common approaches to manage perfusion during distal arch surgery. We report a novel perfusion technique utilized in the treatment of aneurysmal Komerrell’s diverticulum (KD) and aberrant subclavian artery (ASA) that allows for a reliable conduct of perfusion. From 2016 to 2020, 12 adult patients with aneurysmal KD and ASA underwent repair of distal arch through lateral thoracotomy ipsilateral to the arch side using central partial bypass. Once the patients were fully heparinized the lower thoracic aorta and the right atrium were cannulated. The cannulas were connected to the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit with an oxygenator. Partial bypass was initiated. Ventilation via anesthesia was continued as the mode of gas exchange to the upper body while the CPB circuit provided gas exchange to the lower body. In all patients, CPB was initiated allowing the patient to maintain a mean arterial pressure >60 mmHg in the femoral artery and a mean arterial pressure (MAP) >80 mmHg in the radial artery to allow adequate native ejection into the proximal circulation. The venous line was partially occluded to control the radial pressure. The aorta was cross clamped proximal and distal to the KD to isolate the aorta to be replaced. KD was excised in all patients having performed contralateral subclavian to carotid transposition previously. Once the aorta was reconstructed, clamps were released and the patients were weaned off CPB. All were extubated on the same day and there was no early mortality.

Authors: Fauziyyah Faza
Published: July 2023

The article "Bread & Roses": An Analysis of the Sociology of Literature and Its Relevance to the Present in the Context of the Working Class" was created with the intention of explaining how working class people express their grievances in the form of literary works, called working class literature. Working class literature refers to a type of literature or literary work that raises issues, experiences, and realities of working class or working class life in society. Working class literature often describes the lives, struggles, and challenges faced by social groups working in industry, factories, agriculture, or other occupational sectors associated with manual or labor work. This article aims to deepen the understanding of how the working class expresses their grievances and protests through literary works, especially in the context of working class literature. Working class literature refers to a type of literature that specifically raises the issues, experiences, and realities of working class or working class life in society. The focus is often on the daily lives, challenges, and struggles faced by social groups working in industry, factories, agriculture, and manual labor or other labor. In this article, research is conducted by analyzing the text of the poem "Bread &; Roses" by Hakim Bellamy as a relevant example. The analysis is complemented by searching data through journals, websites, and books to support findings and broader understanding. Through an analysis of the content of this poem, we can gain insight into how workers convey their grievances and grievances through literary form, as well as their relevance to the situation and conditions of the working class today.

The theory relevant to this research according to the author is the theory of Marxism, regarding the working class. By deepening the understanding of working-class literature and seeing concretization in the poem "Bread &; Roses", this article contributes to broadening the horizons of the way working class grievances and protests are expressed through literary form. The results of this study can provide a deeper understanding of the relevance of poetry to today's social and economic context, especially in relation to the struggles and aspirations of the working class. By analyzing the content of Hakim Bellamy's poem "Bread &; Roses", we can find out how the protests and grievances of workers are channeled into literary works and what their relevance is to the present.
A framework for Modified Firefly Algorithm in Multimodal Biometric Authentication System
Authors: Bukola Makinde
Published: July 2023

Many end users are turning to multimodal biometric systems as a result of the limitations of conventional authentication techniques and unimodal biometric systems for offering a high level of accurate authentication. When high accuracy and security are required, multimodal biometrics are the best choice because to the utilization of numerous identification modalities. It is difficult to identify the best features that contribute to the recognition rate/accuracy and have a high redundancy of features since different features are acquired at the feature level fusion from a variety of physiological or behavioral variables. At the feature selection level, the utilization of meta-heuristic algorithms will reduce the number of redundant features while keeping critical feature sets that are important to biometric performance, accuracy, and efficiency. The study demonstrated a multimodal biometric authentication system that used the features of the face and both irises. In order to avoid being stuck at the local optimum and hasten convergence, the Firefly Algorithm (FFA) was modified by including a chaotic sinusoidal map function and a roulette wheel selection mechanism as deterministic processes. The results of the study demonstrated that in terms of sensitivity, precision, recognition accuracy, and time, the proposed MFFA with multimodal outperformed the MFFA for unimodal, bi-modal, and bi-instance. In addition to being computationally faster, more accurate, and suitable for real-time applications, the modified method, known as MFFA, proved effective in integrating multimodal data sets.

Irfani Sufism is an Islamic scientific paradigm with esoteric-gnostic dimensions. In acquiring knowledge, Irfani Sufism emphasizes the hudhuri dimension as a pillar in building an altar of knowledge within a person. The position of the heart in this context has a very strategic role so that enlightenment of the heart becomes a prerequisite in acquiring knowledge. Therefore, Irfani Sufism emphasizes the enlightenment of the heart from various shadows of heart disease that can hinder the acquisition of knowledge. Science is seen as something sacred so that one of the prerequisites for obtaining such knowledge is to purify the heart itself. The purer the human heart from various heart diseases that may manifest because of the love for various profane, pragmatic, and hedonic worldly mirages, the easier the knowledge can be obtained.
Postoperative vasospasm and cerebral infarction in a patient with large pituitary adenoma and cerebral superficial siderosis
Authors: Hashikata Hirokuni , Takebe Noriyoshi , Yoshizaki Wataru , Maki Yoshinori
Published: July 2023

Background:

Cerebral vasospasm and infarction are rare complications of transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma. Cerebral superficial siderosis may result from subarachnoid hemorrhage from a pituitary adenoma. The constellation of cerebral superficial siderosis, cerebral vasospasm, and pituitary adenoma is rare. We describe an extremely rare clinical constellation of immediately postoperative cerebral vasospasm and consequent cerebral infarction in a case with a large pituitary adenoma and cerebral superficial siderosis.

Case Description:

A 70-year-old man presented with a pituitary adenoma causing a worsening headache. Preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images revealed cerebral superficial siderosis, suggesting subarachnoid hemorrhage from pituitary apoplexy. MR angiography (MRA) showed no vasospasm. During the transsphenoidal surgery, an intratumoral hematoma was found. The arachnoid membrane was partially torn and intratumoral hematoma entered the subarachnoid space. Intraoperatively, the intracranial vessels remained intact. The suprasellar tumor was almost entirely resected; however, the patient remained comatose postoperatively. Computed tomography revealed ischemic lesions in the bilateral insular and frontotemporal cortex. MRA revealed cerebral vasospasm in the bilateral middle cerebral arteries. The patient was treated with levetiracetam for nonconvulsive status epilepticus and underwent a lumbar peritoneal shunt surgery for secondary hydrocephalus. However, the patient remained listless.

Conclusion:

Postoperative cerebral vasospasm and infarction are severe but rare complications for a pituitary adenoma after transsphenoidal surgery. Preoperative and intraoperative subarachnoid hemorrhage might have been a risk factor in our case. Similar cases should be warranted to analyze whether cerebral superficial siderosis may also indicate the risk of severe postoperative vasospasm immediately after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma.

Published: July 2023

Efficient furrow fertilization is extremely critical for fertilizer utilization, fruit yield, and fruit quality. The precise determination of trench quality necessitates the accurate measurement of its characteristic parameters, including its shape and three-dimensional structure. Some existing algorithms are limited to detecting only the furrow depth while precluding the tridimensional reconstruction of the trench shape. In this study, a novel method was proposed for three-dimensional trench shape reconstruction and its parameter detection. Initially, a low-cost multi-source data acquisition system with the 3D data construction method of the trench was developed to address the shortcomings of single-sensor and manual measurement methods in trench reconstruction. Subsequently, the analysis of the original point cloud clarified the “coarse-fine” two-stage point cloud filtering process, and then a point cloud preprocessing method was proposed based on ROI region extraction and discrete point filtering. Furthermore, by analyzing the characteristics of the point cloud, a random point preselection condition based on the variance threshold was designed to optimize the extraction method of furrow side ground based on RANSAC. Finally, a method was established for extracting key characteristic parameters of the trench and trench reconstruction based on the fitted ground model of the trench side. Experimental results demonstrated that the point cloud pretreatment method could eliminate 83.8% of invalid point clouds and reduce the influence of noise points on the reconstruction accuracy. Compared with the adverse phenomena of fitting ground incline and height deviation of the original algorithm results, the ground height fitted by the improved ditch surface extraction algorithm was closer to the real ground, and the identification accuracy of inner points of the ground point cloud was higher than that of the former. The error range, mean value error, standard deviation error, and stability coefficient error of the calculated ditch width were 0 ~ 5.965%, 0.002 m, 0.011 m, and 0.37%, respectively. The above parameters of the calculated depth were 0 ~ 4.54%, 0.003 m, 0.017 m, and 0.47%, respectively. The results of this research can provide support for the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of the ditching operation, the optimization of the structure of the soil touching part, and the real-time control of operation parameters.
The top ten service delivery priorities for UK general practice: a workforce perspective
Authors: Abrams Ruth , Blake Sharon , Gage Heather
Published: July 2023

Background

A range of measures to improve service delivery have been introduced among persisting concerns about staff shortages in general practice. Innovations include practice networks, multidisciplinary roles, and use of digital technologies. Yet challenges remain that affect both patient care delivery and staff. Therefore, identifying what matters from a workforce perspective will help identify what matters to those delivering services.

Aim

To prioritise strengths, challenges, and possible solutions for service delivery from the perspective of the workforce.

Method

An online survey (3 open questions) was circulated to NHS general practice employees in the UK by NHS England communication channels and other professional networks. Data were analysed thematically. Priorities were cross checked against existing literature to identify and map knowledge. Priorities were ranked by survey responders to produce a final top ten.

Results

There were 93 staff including clinical and non-clinical groups who participated. Four themes emerged from survey data including: 1) core strengths; 2) patient-workforce interface; 3) working environment; and 4) service integration.

Twenty priorities were consolidated from survey responses and cross-checked against 270 identified articles. The top 10 priorities included: volume of work; consultations; patient behaviour; patient health education; complex patient needs (patient–workforce interface); employment pay and conditions; overwhelming pressure (working conditions); funding; workload dumping; and interfaces with secondary care (service integration). These priorities span the patient–workforce–service delivery nexus and were determined as interconnected.

Conclusion

The top 10 service delivery priorities require future policy solutions that are holistic and address underlying causes. Future research needs to explore interdependencies across the patient-workforce-service delivery nexus.
Health professionals’ views on discontinuation of long-term antidepressants: a systematic review and thematic synthesis
Authors: Van Leeuwen Ellen , Maund Emma , Kendrick Tony , Anthierens Sibyl , Woods Catherine , Christiaens Thierry
Published: July 2023

Background

Long-term antidepressant use, much longer than recommended by guidelines, may cause harmful effects and generate unnecessary costs.

Aim

To investigate health professionals (HPs) views of long-term antidepressant discontinuation and their barriers and facilitators.

Method

Systematic review and meta-synthesis. We included studies that used qualitative data collection and had data on HPs perceptions on (dis)continuing AD use. The review searched nine database sources until May 2022. Study quality was assessed using the CASP checklist and the COREQ criteria. A thematic synthesis was performed.

Results

Thirteen studies were included in the review. Nine studies were of GPs’ perspectives, one study of psychiatrists’, and three of a mix of HPs. Barriers and facilitators to discontinuing long-term AD yielded eight themes, ordered chronologically according to the considerations that HPs make when they review a long-term AD: perception of AD use, fears, HP role and responsibility, HPs attitude towards discontinuation, HPs confidence regarding ability to stop AD, perceived patient readiness to stop, support from relatives and support from other HP.

Conclusion

Deprescribing long-term AD is a difficult and complex process for HPs. The review found evidence that the barriers far outweigh the facilitators. More education on the lack of evidence for the long-term effect of AD and the risks of long-term use, guidance on managing long-term use, and support for HPs and patients is needed to increase long-term AD discontinuation. Further research from an HP perspective other than GPs is required and should also explore how HPs can be supported in managing discontinuation ADs.

Published: July 2023

El trabajo se enfoca en la incidencia que tiene la cultura organizacional en la educación tomando como referencia a la Escuela Básica Francisca Vera Robles, con la finalidad de evitar falencia en sus procesos administrativos ya que se busca alcanzar los objetivos institucionales mediante las normas y valores por los que se rige la institución y así poder obtener una educación de calidad. La metodología que se utilizó en esta investigación tiene enfoque cualitativo, ya que se empleó una encuesta realizada a los docentes de la institución para verificar cada una de sus opiniones con respecto a la cultura organizacional que existe en la escuela. Sin embargo, con los resultados obtenidos con respecto a esta investigación se pudo detectar que no existe la cultura organizacional como tal, ya que la mayor parte de los docentes ni siquiera conocen sobre el tema, lo cual perjudica y limita que las actividades se desarrollen de manera eficiente y eficaz, poniendo en riesgo el cumplimiento de los objetivos de la organización para el buen funcionamiento. Finalmente se concluye que los docentes al no tener conocimientos sobre que es la cultura organizacional desconocen lo importante que puede ser para brindar una educación de calidad y lo fundamental que la cultura es para fortalecer cada uno de los procesos de la institución educativa.

Published: July 2023

The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) was used in Thailand during the early outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A previous study showed a low immune response in diabetes patients after the first dose of the AZD1222 vaccine. Furthermore, humoral immune responses after the second vaccination were inconsistent. This study evaluated the immunogenicity following the first and second doses of the AZD1222 vaccine in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared with the general population of Thailand. This was a prospective, single-center cohort study. 59 adults with T2D and 118 age- and sex-matched healthcare personnel were eligible. The participants received two doses of AZD1222 12 weeks apart. Antibodies against the receptor-binding domain (anti-RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, using an automated electrochemiluminesence immunoassay (ECLIA), were measured at baseline, 8 and 12 weeks after the first dose of vaccine, and 4 weeks after the second dose of vaccine. The anti-RBD levels were reported as the geometric mean concentration (GMC) and compared between groups using the geometric mean ratio (GMR). A total of 177 participants were included: The average age of 59 T2D patients was 60.1 years (SD: 11.4), and 31 (52.5%) of them were female. The GMC of anti-RBD 8 and 12 weeks after the first vaccination were significantly lower in T2D (week 8 60; 17.05 BAU/mL, 95% confidence interval [CI]   11.1–26.19, P = 0.035, week 12; 24.68 BAU/mL, 95% CI  16.4–37.0, P = 0.002) than in those without diabetes (week 8; 29.79 BAU/mL, 95% CI  22.07–40.42, week 12; 50.67 BAU/mL, 95% CI  40.62–63.20). However, there was no difference in the GMC of anti-RBD 4 weeks after the second vaccination among groups (T2D; 687.95 BAU/mL, 95% CI  462.7–1022.7, Normal; 697.95 BAU/mL, 95% CI 583.7–834.5, P = 0.947). In both groups, the GMC of anti-RBD was persistently high without decline 12 weeks after the first vaccination. Albuminuria was a major factor related to low humoral immune responses in T2D patients after the second dose of AZD122 vaccine (the GMR was 0.29, 95% CI 0.08–0.98, P = 0.047) whereas the HbA1C level and age were not. Immunogenicity in T2D cases was lower than in the normal population after the first dose of the AZD1222 vaccine. The two doses of AZD122 vaccine induced immunity in T2D equal to that of normal individuals in Thailand. People with diabetes should be boosted as soon as possible to induce adequate immunity to prevent COVID-19 infection.

The paper presents the results of studying the variability of the morphological traits of the generative shoot Matthiola caspica (Busch) Grossh. in Piedmont Dagestan. The material for the study was the life processes of M. caspica of three cenopopulations: Buynaksky (Talgi, 270), Suleiman-Stalsky (Kasumkent, 410 m) and Tabasaransky (Maraga, 520 m) areas. The greatest contribution to the differentiation of cenopopulations by individual components of dispersion in the traits “length inflorescence” (39.9%), “length vegetative features” (38.5%), “number flowers” (37.1%) and index trait “density inflorescences” (16.5%). The distinctions revealed as a result of the discriminates analysis make it possible to select diagnostic characters that introduce specific differences in M. caspica cenopopulations within the Piedmont floristic region. The total accuracy of the classification matrix for the three studied cenopopulations was 82.2%, where the “Maraga” cenopopulation (90.0%) is highly self-identical.
Dialogism, Intertextuality and Metamodern Sensibility in Ali Smith’s Autumn
Authors: Pekarčíková Frederika
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the dialogue of voices in Ali Smith’s novel Autumn to explore the role which art plays in the writer’s fiction, an issue which has been largely neglected in studies of her work to date. In the novel, the theme of art is addressed through several different voices, but the effect of polyphony that this generates is not necessarily part of the theme’s dialogic design. The paper also argues that intertextuality is employed to establish the semantic position of the character of Elisabeth, suggesting a metamodern sensibility.

Published: July 2023

Background
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive, chemoresistant form originating from the thyroid parafollicular C cells, has spurred interest in alternative treatments like boric acid, a boron-based compound has demonstrated anti-carcinogenic effects.
Materials and Methods
Cell viability were determined using 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4 nitro-5- sulfophenyl- 2H-tetrazolium- 5-carboxanilide (XTT) assay.. Total RNA was isolated with Trizol reagent for gene and miRNA analysis via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay (TUNEL) and comet assays evaluated boric acid's impact on apoptosis and genotoxicity, respectively. We also examined its influence on cell invasion, colony formation, and migration using matrigel- chamber, colony formation, and wound healing assays.
Results
50% lethal dose (IC50) of boric acid was 35 µM at 48 hours. Real-time PCR showed changes at apoptosis-related genes, and miRNAs post-treatment. Significant increases in the expression of NOXA, apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (APAF-1), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3, and caspase-9, which are associated with apoptosis, were observed. Additionally, the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (bcl2), B- cell lymphoma‐ extra-large (bcl-xl), and microRNA-21 (miR-21), which are linked to the aggressiveness of MTC, was significantly reduced. The TUNEL assay revealed a 14% apoptosis rate, while assays showed a 30.8% decrease in cell invasion, a 67.9% decrease in colony formation, reduced cell migration, and increased DNA breaks post-treatment.
Conclusions
In conclusion, our findings suggest that boric acid may have potential as an anticancer agent in medullary thyroid cancer and other cancers with similar mechanisms.

Can we do it
differently? Introducing the Schoolwide Enrichment Model
Authors: Ćurić Antonia , Blanuša Trošelj Danijela
Published: July 2023

Today, giftedness is a multifaceted concept that is much and frequently discussed. Educational institutions often struggle with the challenge of identifying gifted students, and existing research has confirmed teachers’ dissatisfaction with the evaluation criteria and insufficient preparation for discovering gifted students. Gifted students exhibit a wide range of characteristics, ranging from slightly above average to highly gifted students.This paper presents the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) designed to address some of the challenges teachers face in a restructured learning environment as well as the many external regulations imposed on them (Renzulli, Reis, 2014). The primary goal of SEM is to apply the gifted education pedagogy to achieve whole-school improvement. SEM relies on two types of giftedness. It is recognized by high achievement in the school environment and creative productive giftedness, and the triad model of enrichment includes type I general research activities, type II group training activities, and type III individual and small group research of real problems. Thus, the model sees students as unique beings with all their potential, and teachers as their guides who contribute to their students’ well-being and success.
Trauma informed weight lifting: considerations for coaches, trainers and gym environments
Authors: Vigue Dana , Rooney Mariah , Nowakowski-Sims Eva , Woods Savannah
Published: July 2023

A growing body of research supports weight lifting as an effective adjunct intervention in the treatment of psychological trauma and trauma-related disorders. However, studies indicate that numerous barriers exist to participation in weight lifting, especially among populations disproportionately impacted by trauma. Trauma-informed care offers a paradigm for service delivery that aims to empower clients to access healing resources by attending to six domains of experience: safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment, voice and choice, and cultural, historical, and gender issues. This mixed-methods study utilizes semi-structured, one-on-one interviews and surveys to inform the design of an evidence-based trauma-informed weight lifting program for trauma survivors. The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, the salient experiential categories for conceptualizing psychological healing in the gym environment are presented, informed by the lived experiences and recommendations of a national sample of trauma-impacted weight lifters. Second, based on the findings of this study, guidelines are proposed for the development of trauma-informed weight lifting programming that may be incorporated into the practice habits of personal trainers. The results of this study aid in the reduction in barriers that currently limit the adoption of weight lifting as an adjunct intervention for trauma and contribute to the professionalization of personal trainers in trauma-related competencies.
Peace Efforts of Women: An Asian Perspective
Authors: - G. Lakshmi
Published: July 2023

History is replete with instances where woman have afforded succor in times of strife and turmoil, and brought to bear a sobering effect on contemporary socio-political processes. This articles forays into gender perspectives based on women's peace activism in Japan and India against war and militarism -- gleaned from recent history. The author opines although women’s participation at the family and community level is significant, when it comes to agreements concerning peace and security, as well as in critical wartime decisions, their voices at the political level get sidelined, or brushed aside as inconsequential. Women must claim their political space to correct this imbalance, and bridge “disconnects of sorts” obtaining in varying degrees in different walks of life.
Cryptographic Mechanism for Security of Cloud Computing
Authors: - Geeta Rani
Published: July 2023

By changing current data encryption standards to enable unique hybrid cryptography mechanisms, researchers hope to improve the security of polynomial encryption-based cloud servers. Because the cloud computing movement is quickly gaining traction, the first step for every business is to pinpoint the particular region where cloud-related hazards exist. Cloud computing has accelerated the transformation of industry and government. As a result, new security issues arose. The evolution of the cloud service model as a business-supporting technology has resulted in a significant shift in computer technology. These improvements, however, have resulted in new security vulnerabilities, including security concerns whose full scope is yet unknown. This paper provides an overview and analysis of cloud computing, as well as many security issues.
