Representation of Caste Discrimination and Untouchability in Dulal's Gahugoro Africā
Authors: Magarati Shyam Lal
Published: September 2023

This paper presents Dalits as Africans in the poem Gahugoro Africā. Dalits are primarily artisans who engage in various tasks such as crafting temple idols, cobbling shoes, ploughing fields, sweeping the streets, and playing musical instruments like the lyre and tum-tum. They utilize their skills and perform the duties expected of them. However, they get fewer wage and they are hated, humiliated, discriminated, exploited and traumatized in the society by the upper caste people and the nation even in this 21st century. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to illustrate the presence of caste discrimination and untouchability as depicted by the researcher. The research is significant due to its focus on the inhuman treatment and miserable existence of Dalits in the same society. The exploration of diverse cultures and cultural practices is valuable to academia. The research was conducted using a library-based qualitative approach, utilizing relevant texts and sources to analyze the representation of caste discrimination and untouchability in Dulāl's poem. The researcher has implemented cultural studies perspective and the ideas of Stuart Hall as main and other theorists’ ideas as supporting tools for theoretical parameters. The data were collected by text information, description and record keeping. The researcher finds that as a poet, Dulāl seriously raises question that how Dalits are considered untouchables and distanced them by the so called touchable in Nepali society. Dalits present everywhere so, the speaker strictly demands freedom from every type of shackles of discrimination and untouchability. Freedom from such evil practice is inevitable for Dalits in human civilization. So, it is the representative voice of Dalits in general.

Published: September 2023

Butterfly diversity changes with habitat and meteorological factors. They are facing threats due to many environmental and anthropogenic causes so need their diversity and status investigation to initiate conservation programs. The butterfly diversity study was conducted at Kakrebihar protected forest, the first government protected forest, during January to December 2021. The data was collected using Ocular Point Observation Method. Capture and release method along with photography was used for butterfly identification. Total of 431 individuals of 33 species of butterflies were recorded belonging to 24 genera and 7 families. Among recorded families of butterflies, Nymphalidae was dominant family followed by family Hisperiidae. Among recorded butterfly species, 17 species were very common, 15 were common and one was rare. The total butterfly diversity and evenness were recorded to be high in the study area.

The butterfly diversity was found to be high during post-monsoon season followed by monsoon and pre-monsoon season and its lowest during winter season.
Research Paradigms in English Education: A Brief Overview
Authors: Khatri Dipendra Kumar
Published: September 2023

The researcher's worldview for the particular investigation is the research paradigm. So the main objective of this paper is to examine various forms of research paradigms with the library study attempting to link with English education. The description is tried to make clear by linking with examples of selected an issue. For this, the paper starts by introducing a research paradigm as the looking glass to the world. So it is the lens of the researcher through which the study is completed. It was found that positivism is based on objective reality which is most appropriate in natural science and post-positivism is the modification (of positivism) as demands more interaction between the researcher and participants. On the other hand, interpretivism is to understand the issue from an insider's view and constructivism is aimed at social construction. Furthermore, criticalism is to improve the situation of the oppressed, and feminism is purposeful to empower females. Moreover, pragmatism is to generate context-based knowledge and post-modernism is to explore representational knowledge. In a sense, integralism is to integrate different paradigms within one single research. This paper also explores the components of the research where ontology is a study of reality, epistemology is the study of knowledge generation, and methodology is the process of doing the particular research. It implicitly reflects the axiology as the study of value systems. Overviewing the various shifts from traditional to relatively today's research, the specific issues are selected in connection to English education and suggested to link them contextually.
Anita Desai’s In Custody: A Thematic Study
Authors: Patel Kavan R.
Published: September 2023

In Custody, a novel penned in 1984 by the renowned Indian-American author Anita Desai, serves as a significant literary exploration of the quest for identity and existential purpose. Positioned within the contemporary Indian milieu, this work delves profoundly into the intricate themes of identity and linguistic expression, employing the lyrical medium of Urdu poetry as its narrative backdrop. At the narrative's center lies Deven Sharma, the principal protagonist, a reticent Hindi instructor who is presented with a life-altering opportunity when his audacious childhood friend, Murad, extends an offer to interview his revered idol, the venerable and reclusive Urdu poet, Nur Shahjahanabadi. In choosing to accept this proposition, Deven consciously sets aside his own aspirations of emerging as an Urdu poet of note, thus embarking on a journey that brings into focus the deeply entwined themes of identity, linguistic expression, and the intricacies of human relationships. His own life, marked by a loveless marriage and a sense of unspoken discontent that he shares with his wife, is emblematic of the pervasive dissatisfaction that often characterizes human existence.

The Cardiac Surgeon and Electrical Safety
Authors: Sewell William H.
Published: September 2023

During the procedures of heart surgery, electrical phenomena present a potential problem; however, my experience, over the last seven years, has not disclosed any obvious cases of ventricular fibrillation nor transient arrhythmia from leakage currents through the patient. This may display good fortune, but certainly every effort should be made to prevent or control leakage currents. Having voiced this disclaimer, I do believe that my patients have as have those of all cardiac surgeons, been exposed to a great many electrical hazards from other sources.
Air Control in Hospitals
Authors: Morrison Robert P. , Oviatt Vinson R.
Published: September 2023

In the not too distant past, hospital air control, as we know it today, existed neither in fact nor in principle. Reliance was placed on systems little more sophisticated than a central boiler for the provision of heat and the opening of windows for ventilation. While such an air handling configuration strikes us as being rather primitive, judgmental evaluation would vary with the socio-economic environment within which it was made. For example, a 1970 textbook dealing with the general topic of disinfection contains a chapter contributed by a prominent Russian authority on hospital disinfection in the Soviet Union. In emphasizing the importance of air hygiene, the author explains that wards are aired by the periodic opening of “fortochkas” which are small hinged window panes within the larger window. It is indicated that “fortochkas” are opened at least four times a day in the winter, and an effort is made to leave them open constantly during the spring and summer. It is indeed fortuitous that we are not assembled here today to ponder the proper balancing of “fortochka” openings.

Published: September 2023

In the first publication on this subject we considered the general physiologic responses to topical heat and cold with some of the indications which have been suggested for their use, and contraindications. The present report is concerned with the relative merits of ice bags/hot water bottles and chemical packs*, the two commonly used methods of administering short-term, dry topical heat and cold therapy. Other methods of applying heat and cold are used, but usually on a longer-term or large body area basis involving the use of sophisticated equipment and specialist personnel: they are not generally suitable for use by nurses and nursing aides.

Sclerosing Cholangitis and Ulcerative Colitis: An Interesting Cholangiotomographic Sign - A Retraction
Authors: Littleton Jesse T. , Bunao Romulo M. , Thomas John M. , Weaver Donald R.
Published: September 2023

In the Fall issue of this Bulletin1 the authors described what was considered at that time to be an interesting finding in a preoperative intravenous cholangiotomogram consisting of a radiolucent zone adjacent to the margins of a faintly opacified common duct. It was suggested that this relatively radiolucent area might represent edema adjacent to an acutely inflamed common duct. It was, however, suggested that further observation was necessary before this finding could be identified as a specific roentgen sign pathognomonic of sclerosing cholangitis. The finding was illustrated as Figure 3.
Evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as an Adjunct to Inpatient Physiotherapy in Paediatric Acquired Brain Injury: A Randomized Feasibility Trial
Authors: Ryan Jennifer L. , Beal Deryk S. , Fehlings Darcy L. , Levac Danielle E. , Tendera Anna , Wright F. Virginia
Published: September 2023

Purpose:

Evaluate the feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as an adjunct to inpatient physiotherapy for children and youth with acquired brain injury (ABI).

Method:

This randomized feasibility trial allocated children (5–18 years of age with moderate to severe ABI) to receive either active or sham anodal tDCS immediately prior to 16 of their existing inpatient physiotherapy sessions. Participants, physiotherapists, assessors, and primary investigators were blinded to treatment allocation. Eligibility, recruitment, retention, tolerance, and preliminary treatment outcomes were evaluated against a priori feasibility targets.

Results:

Of 232 children admitted over 21 months, six were eligible (2.6%) and four were recruited (66.7%). One participant completed the entire study protocol, two were withdrawn for unrelated changes in medical stability, and one could not commence the study due to COVID-19 restrictions. Participants completed all tDCS sessions that were started with the primary transient side effect being sub-electrode itchiness.

Conclusions:

While the study was infeasible from eligibility and retention perspectives, study procedures (e.g., assessment, treatment, side effect tracking, physiotherapy documentation) were viable and should be applied to future paediatric tDCS studies.

Published: September 2023

Lactobacillus rhamnosus are Gram-positive and lactic acid-producing bacteria. Meanwhile, Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis are opportunistic fungi that cause oral candidiasis. This study aimed to determine the effect of LGG on the biofilm formation of C. tropicalis and C. albicans with the hypothesis that LGG inhibits the biofilm of the yeasts. C. albicans ATCC MYA-4901 and C. tropicalis ATCC 13803 were standardised to 1x106 cells to form a mono-species biofilm. L. rhamnosus GG (LGG) was standardised to 1x107 cells, equivalent to absorbance 0.5 at OD620nm.  The microorganisms were cultivated in nutrient broth in a 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 24 h and 48 h. Co-culture biofilm was developed by combining Candida spp. with LGG in the same well at a similar concentration as the mono-culture.  Crystal violet assay was conducted to assess the biofilm biomass with absorbance measured at OD620nm wavelength. After 24 hours, polymicrobial biofilms of C. albicans with LGG decreased by 37.1 ± 9.2%. At 48 hours, it further decreased to 44.7 ± 5.9%. For C. tropicalis, co-culture biofilms with LGG decreased by 16.3 ± 5.9% and 35.7 ± 7.6% after 24 h and 48 h incubation, respectively. LGG significantly reduced C. albicans biofilm compared to C. tropicalis (P<0.05).  In conclusion, LGG has antibiofilm activity against C. albicans and C. tropicalis.  However, further study is needed to conclude the effect against other species strains.

The media have advanced rapidly in recent years, bringing with them new challenges, such as the need to acquire adequate training to be successful in today’s global world. Since anyone can participate in public media communication, misinformation is an element that shapes today’s society. This article focuses on the extent to which Czech teachers believe fake news and conspiracy theories. We conducted an online survey with a total of 2,155 teachers from all regions of the Czech Republic. The teachers assessed a total of 34 statements divided into three thematic groups: statements related to the European Union, statements related to the Covid-19 disease pandemic and statements focusing on well-known historical, cultural and social phenomena. More than half (61.14%) of Czech teachers were able to correctly judge the truthfulness of statements. Nevertheless, 15.59% of Czech teachers admit that they are not able to assess the statements in a relevant way, and only 10.41% believed some of the fake news or conspiration theories.

A study of electrothermomechanical converter for technological purposes with nonlinear changes in the loading and cooling medium
Authors: Mudryk Krzysztof , Hutsol Taras , Zablodskiy Mykola , Sorokin Dmytro , Usenko Serhii
Published: September 2023

Heavy temperature processes with high-temperature loads require optimisation of technological processes, ensuring high reliability and combining rotating parts of electric machines with actuators to achieve greater efficiency of electromechanical converters. The research aims to provide a theoretical justification and experimental confirmation of the effect of higher harmonics in the air gap under nonlinear changes in the temperature of the medium. The research is based on the basic principles of electrodynamics, heat and mass transfer, mathematical modelling by the finite element method, and experimental verification of multi-physical parameters. Based on the analysis of the differential equation for determining the increase in the surface temperature of a ferromagnetic rotor under conditions of nonlinear temperature changes in the environment surrounding the electromechanical converter, the regularities of the formation of the free and forced components of the instantaneous temperature values of the massive rotor are established. Depending on the mode of interaction between the load-cooling medium and the electromechanical part of the screw units, kinematic diagrams of single-mass and two-mass systems with variable or constant moments of inertia and stiffness were formed. According to the size of the electromagnetic system of the experimental sample, a mathematical model for studying thermal and electromagnetic processes was built. The regularities of the spatial distribution of the temperature of the screw electromechanical unit are determined. The spectra of higher harmonics of voltage and current in the frequency range from 0 to 50 kHz have been experimentally determined, which confirms the presence of the effect of generating higher harmonics when the temperature of the medium surrounding the rotor screw changes. The detected harmonic spectrum affects both the formation of the dynamics of the rotating system and additional thermal power while increasing the overall efficiency of the screw electromechanical converter. The practical value of the obtained results lies in the possibility of predicting the optimal indicators of interrelated electromagnetic and heat exchange processes in screw electromechanical converters for technological purposes
Does the Immigration Issue Divide German Attitudes toward Social Welfare?
Authors: Häkkilä Laura , Pfeifer Michael , Toikko Timo
Published: September 2023

This article explores the association of German attitudes toward social welfare and immigration, and how regional and political factors affect that relationship. The data was retrieved from Round 8 of the European Social Survey, which includes 2,852 German participants. Quantitative methodology was used to study the hypotheses. Analyses demonstrate that attitudes on immigration and social welfare are associated. However, the regional factor of Eastern and Western Germany and political self-placement shape the population concerning the relationship between social welfare and immigration. The immigration issue diverges the views of both the leftists and Western Germans to social welfare more than the rightists and Eastern Germans. In this respect, the immigration issue shapes the view of the German welfare state.
“Make a Living by Doing Good”
Authors: Li Yong
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on the e-commerce of infant milk by Chinese migrant women in France, who became retail agents for their Chinese clients after the melamine infant formula scandal in China in 2008. The daigou-ers conceive of their WeChat business as an activity of solidarity, one that allows them to earn a living while helping Chinese parents get safe baby foods. My article proposes to conceptualize the daigou business of formula milk as a moral economy and analyze the ways in which online and offline realities merge and collide in the making of this moral economy. I argue that the moral economy of infant formulas is co-constructed by the virtual encounters between the seller and the buyer, the materiality and mobility of infant milk, the dynamics of the infrastructures of mobility, the offline hazards and challenges affecting the supply and transportation of the formula milk, and customers’ risk perception.
How Far Can Chicken Feet Travel?
Authors: Zani Beatrice , Cockel Isabelle
Published: September 2023

This article analyses Chinese women's e-entrepreneurship of trading nostalgic and/or contested goods in the disputed sovereign borders and virtual marketplace in the borderland between China and Taiwan. Using physical and digital ethnography, and drawing on the case study of the journey of chicken feet and other goods traded through WeChat by Chinese women in Taiwan, this article shows how the online and offline trails of these goods and the virtual marketplace generate new forms of transnationalism and connectedness between the two rivaling societies. Calling attention to Chinese women's emotions and nostalgia embedded in their e-entrepreneurship, their goods’ geographical movements, and their social networks, these findings enrich our understanding of transnational entrepreneurship as well as migrants’ agency-making and digital connectivity. However, highlighting how the worsening Taiwan-China relationship has diminished micro e-entrepreneurship, this article also reveals the vulnerability, instability, and uncertainty of the virtual marketplace, which is threatened by the politics of sovereignty contestation.

The use of compounds with new positive qualities in maxillofacial surgery, along with the introduction of modern technologies, equipment and tools, will increase the productivity of open sinus lifting surgery during dental implantation, reduce the number of intraoperative and postoperative complications, the duration of surgical interventions, and will allow performing operations with the least risk to the patient at a high professional level.
ORAL HEALTH STATUS OF CHALDREN WITH INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS IN THE PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
Authors: Chukhray N.L. , Savchyn S.V.
Published: September 2023

Dental caries and periodontal tissue diseases remain one of the most actual problems in pediatric dentistry. There is also a trend towards an increase in the prevalence of malocclusion. Dental morbidity in children in most cases develops under the influence of both local and general factors. Somatic pathology has a particularly significant impact on the development of dental morbidity in children, caused by metabolic disorders, which serves as the pathogenetic basis for the development of diseases. Viral infection, which is widespread among children and adults, plays a significant role in the development of dental diseases. In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of children with infectious mononucleosis caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Therefore, the assessment of oral health status in children with infectious mononucleosis will allow the development of effective means of preventing and treating diseases.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to assess the oral health status of children with infectious mononucleosis in the past medical history.

Methods and Material. 240 children aged 6-15 years, including 112 children with infectious mononucleosis in the past medical history of (the main group) and 128 children of the comparison group, have been examined. The prevalence of dental caries, malocclusion and the condition of periodontal tissues were assessed in the examined children. The oral health status of children was determined in accordance with the recommendations of P.A. Leus (1991).

Results. It has been found that in children with infectious mononucleosis in the past medical history, the prevalence of caries of permanent teeth, on average, was 73.68±3.04% with an intensity of 3.41±0.24 teeth, which was significantly higher than in children in the comparison group (65.06±2.98%; 2.53±0.22 teeth). Diseases of periodontal tissues were diagnosed in 69.8% of children in the main group and 48.7% in the comparison group. Among the periodontal diseases, chronic catarrhal gingivitis was the most common (62.7%). In children with infectious mononucleosis, malocclusion was detected, on average, in 86.36±4.22%, which is significantly higher than in the comparison group (69.23±4.27%). The oral health status of children with infectious mononucleosis aged 9 years was 70%, and 12 years 65%, and in the comparison group it was 80% and 76%, respectively.

Conclusions. Thus, a decreased oral health status of children with infectious mononucleosis in the past medical history was found, especially in 12-year-old children, mainly due to the development of multiple dental caries and periodontal diseases. The identified dependencies indicate significant disorders of the protective mechanisms of the oral cavity, insufficiently effective oral hygiene and lack of preventive measures in children with infectious mononucleosis in the past medical history.

Calidad de vida en neuralgia postherpética en el servicio de dermatología del Hospital Luis Vernaza
Authors: Martínez Guillén María , Romo Cevallos Howard
Published: September 2023

Introducción: El herpes zóster (HZ) es el resultado de la reactivación del virus de la varicela zóster. La principal complicación del HZ es la neuralgia post-herpética (NPH), dolor que aparece en el dermatoma afectado 3 meses después de la resolución de las lesiones cutáneas. A pesar de la limitada evidencia, la NPH influye significativamente en la calidad de vida (CV) del paciente que la padece, afectando su capacidad funcional, estado emocional y capacidad de trabajo en la población activa. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la calidad de vida en la NPH. Estudios previos no se han realizado en esta institución y la estadística sobre el tema es nula en Ecuador. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, retroprospectivo con nivel no experimental y transversal. El universo lo constituyeron 141 pacientes con diagnóstico de NPH atendidos en la consulta externa del servicio de dermatología del hospital Luis Vernaza durante el período 1 de enero a 31 de diciembre de 2016, con una muestra de 92 pacientes, a los cuales se les realizó una entrevista y un examen físico, mediante una hoja recolectora de datos que incluyó los cuestionarios DN4 y EQ-5D-5L. Para registrar los datos se usaron tablas de Excel. Resultados: Del total de 92 pacientes que participaron en el estudio, el hormigueo fue el síntoma más frecuente. Con respecto a la carga sintomática relacionada con CV en NPH, el dolor por roce y el entumecimiento con valores P de 0.00 presentan una fuerte significancia estadística seguidos del pinchazo con valor P 0.03. El diagrama de dispersión para valorar el nivel de gravedad de NPH y su relación con la calidad de vida, indica que la CV sí se relaciona con el dolor neuropático (DN). El promedio del DN4 fue de 4/10. El 82 % de los casos, acompañándose o no de dolor neuropático, presentaron una mejor CV; el 18 %, acompañándose de DN, reportó afectación en su CV. El valor índice promedio del EQ5D5L fue 0,814. Conclusiones: Se concluyó que la calidad de vida sí se ve afectada en los pacientes aquejados con neuralgia postherpética.

Akan tetapi, masih terdapat beberapa kendala yang menghambat pengendalian kualitas layanan sirkulasi, yaitu gedung yang masih kurang luas dan masih berada di lingkungan perkantoran, nomor pustaka yang sulit dihubungi, tidak dapat hanya bergantung pada sistem otomasi sehingga tetap perlu yang manual, dan pengadaan yang terbatas karena anggaran yang sedikit. Saran untuk pengelola Perpustakaan Umum Kota Solok adalah pengelola diharapkan segera memperbaiki dan meningkatkan unsur-unsur layanan yang masih memiliki kekurangan agar kualitas layanan dan citra baik yang telah diwujudkan dapat dipertahankan dan ditingkatkan.
W sprawie zadośćuczynienia pieniężnego należnego pacjentom
Authors: Witczak Hanna , Witczak Władysław
Published: September 2023

Zadośćuczynienie pieniężne za doznaną krzywdę jest sposobem wynagrodzenia szkody niemajątkowej wyrządzonej w szczególności wskutek naruszenia dóbr osobistych. Podstawę prawną zasądzenia zadośćuczynienia stanowią przepisy art. 445 i 448 k.c. Pacjenci, niezależnie od przepisów k.c., są objęci ochroną na podstawie przepisów ustawy o prawach pacjenta i Rzeczniku Praw Pacjenta. Przepis art. 4 tej ustawy stanowi podstawę żądania zadośćuczynienia w przypadkach zawinionego naruszenia praw pacjenta. Pacjentowi przysługuje roszczenie o zasądzenie odpowiedniej sumy pieniężnej na jego rzecz lub/i na wskazany przez niego cel społeczny. Tak w doktrynie, jak w orzecznictwie niekwestionowana jest samodzielność i niezależność wskazanych wyżej roszczeń o zadośćuczynienie, które mają odrębne podstawy prawne. Odmienny jest także przedmiot ochrony prawnej, różny jest także „zasięg oddziaływania” art. 445 k.c. i 4 ustawy. Ten ostatni wykracza bowiem poza sferę deliktową i mieści się również w sferze kontraktowej. Ze względu na niewymierność krzywdy, określenie w konkretnym przypadku odpowiedniej sumy należnej tytułem zadośćuczynienia zostało pozostawione uznaniu sądu. W orzecznictwie wypracowano kryteria, które w tym względzie powinny być brane pod uwagę.

Instytucja procesu adhezyjnego w polskim procesie karnym w kontekście tradycji i postępu
Authors: Nowikowski Ireneusz
Published: September 2023

Autor dowodzi, że idea dochodzenia roszczeń cywilnych w toku procesu karnego uzyskała trwałe miejsce w polskim ustawodawstwie karno-procesowym. Wskazuje na cechy charakterystyczne dla instytucji powództwa cywilnego. Akceptuje występującą w polskim procesie karnym możliwość dochodzenia odszkodowania za szkodę wyrządzoną przez sprawcę przestępstwa na podstawie przepisów prawa cywilnego materialnego albo rozwiązań karno-materialnych. Rozważa również przyczyny, które sprawiają, że pokrzywdzeni stosunkowo rzadko korzystają z instytucji powoda cywilnego. Uważa, że sytuacja w tej mierze uległaby zmianie w razie przyjęcia rozwiązania, które łączyłoby możliwość uzyskania przez pokrzywdzonego zasądzenia odszkodowania z premiowaniem przede wszystkim aktywności tego uczestnika procesu. Dotyczyć to powinno dochodzeniu tych roszczeń, które opierają na przepisach prawa cywilnego materialnego. Tej propozycji towarzyszy postulat ograniczenia orzekania odszkodowania przez sąd z urzędu do niezbędnego minimum (w razie np. obiektywnie stwierdzonej nieporadności pokrzywdzonego).
Tradycja a postęp w nowelizacji cywilnego prawa sądowego (in statu nascendi)
Authors: Sawczuk Mieczysław
Published: September 2023

Autor zastanawia się, czy aktualne nowelizacje „czynią postęp czy też niweczą utrwaloną i piękną tradycję”. Nawiązuje do wypowiedzi S. Grzybowskiego, S. Gołąba, P. Gillesa i innych wybitnych uczonych, którzy wypowiadają się na ten temat w bogatej, różnorodnej i nowoczesnej terminologii. Uważa, że nie niweczy się bez wyraźnej potrzeby dorobku zawartego w przepisach, orzecznictwie i doktrynie. Stabilność, ciągłość, to wartości najwyższe, do zmian dążą ci, którzy chcą się „wybić” (S. Gołąb). Przykładem może być polski kpc z 1932 r., uznany za doskonały przez Niemców (Kann, Schönke, Nemeth) w Passau w 1989 r.
