Authors: Graha Rama Dwi Rendra , Saputra Fiyoga Bayu , Putra Dwi Wahyu Maulana
Published: June 2024

This research explores changes in fashion styles among Jember University students in the digital era, which are influenced by social media, digital platforms and international cultural migration. Traditional clothing styles have undergone significant changes due to the influence of foreign cultures in design and materials. Students, as active users of social media and the internet, are the main targets of this change, often exposed to the latest fashion trends and campus events that demand a fashionable appearance. Interviews with two FISIP students at the University of Jember revealed that social media greatly influences the way they dress, reflecting Jean Baudrillard's theory about consumer society. According to Baudrillard, consumption not only fulfills basic needs but also functions as a symbol of identity and social status. Jember University students follow fashion trends to express themselves and demonstrate social affiliation, despite facing challenges such as financial management and disrupted academic priorities. This research uses a case study-based qualitative approach, with semi-structured interviews and field observations to obtain in-depth data. Thematic analysis was carried out to identify main themes such as economic conditions, the influence of fashion trends, and the role of social media. This research shows that changes in student fashion styles are not only a fashion phenomenon, but also reflect broader social and cultural dynamics in the digital era. Baudrillard's theory provides a foundation for understanding how symbolic consumption and the influence of social media influence college students' clothing style choices, as well as their impact on their cultural and socio-economic identities.

Published: June 2024

Thrifting has become a popular culture in contemporary society because it contains branded goods that are the favorite of teenagers. Branded goods available in thrifting are offered at low prices, making many people target them. However, their interest in branded goods is not only to fulfill their body needs, but is more inclined to self-image in social life.   With many people wanting to image themselves through branded goods, thrifting has become a popular culture today, especially among teenagers. Without realizing it, they are playing with the signs and symbols in the clothes, so that teenagers' consumption is shaped by the desire for sign value. The purpose of this research is to describe the symbol games that occur in thrifting culture and lead to their desire to get it, so that the original reality is replaced with a fake reality. This research uses a qualitative method, the approach used is phenomenology which is used to understand the symbol games in individuals involved in thrifting culture.

This paper examines student experiences of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in two distinct geographic and sociolinguistic contexts: Japan and Sweden. Interviews with 24 EMI students in both countries were conducted to better understand how sociolinguistic factors within each environment may impact student learning. These factors included the role of English in the surrounding society, national-level policies, second language English proficiency level, and views on the use of English in the EMI classroom. Student voices from both contexts articulated similar as well as divergent experiences. Despite clear socio-educational distinctions, students in both contexts had similar emotional responses and observations during their EMI experiences. However, they displayed different purposes for enrolling in EMI programs and distinctive attitudes toward the use of their first language. They also provided insights into EMI’s role in relation to broader internationalization efforts. On the basis of the interview analysis, the paper closes with a discussion of EMI implementation in Japan in terms of insights from a Swedish-based model at micro and macro levels. 本論では、日本とスウェーデンという地理的、社会言語的に異なるコンテクストにおいて、非英語圏での英語による専門科目（EMI）を学生がどのように経験しているのかを比較し検証する。24名の大学生へのインタビューを実施し、それぞれの環境における社会言語学的要因が学習にどのような影響を与えるかを調査した。これらの要因には、社会における英語の役割、国家レベルの政策、第二言語である英語の習熟度、EMI授業内での英語使用に対する見解などが含まれていた。両方のコンテクストからの学生の声には類似した経験だけでなく、異なる経験もはっきりと表れていた。社会教育上の明確な違いがあるにも関わらず、両国の学生のEMIに対する感情的な反応や受け取り方には共通点が見られた。一方、EMIプログラムで学ぶ目的やEMIにおける母語の使用に対する見解には相違がみられた。またEMIがより広い意味での国際化への取り組みに果たす役割についての意見も得られた。さらに、インタビューデータの分析に基づき、ミクロ（授業）およびマクロ（政策）レベルにおいて、スウェーデンのEMIのモデルから、日本におけるEMIの実施にどのような示唆が得られるのかを論ずる。

As many students at international universities in Japan find it difficult to make friends outside of their own linguistic groups, this paper discusses a project involving two linked initiatives with different approaches to using social media to encourage connections between international and domestic students. It describes the impetus behind the project, the rationales for each of the two approaches, the methods that each used, and their results. Although it was beyond the scope of this project to determine whether it led to any improvement in connections, several positive outcomes emerged. These included student validation of the need for such interventions, the creation of engaging content, and valuable insights into the effectiveness of different strategies for conducting such a project. The paper concludes with practical suggestions for future efforts to foster connections between international and domestic students. 日本の国際大学で学ぶ学生の多くは、自身の言語コミュニティの外で友人を作ることが困難であると感じている。本稿は、留学生と国内学生のつながりを深めるために、ソーシャルメディアを活用して行った2つの取り組みについて報告する。主に、プロジェクトの背景、各アプローチの理論的根拠、それぞれの試みで用いた方法と結果について述べる。プロジェクトにより学生間のつながりが促進されたかどうかについては今後検証が必要だが、いくつかの肯定的な結果が得られた。これらの結果には、学生がこのようなプロジェクトによる介入の必要性を認識していること、魅力的なコンテンツを構築すること、プロジェクトを推進するにあたり異なる手法が効果的であろうという重要な洞察が含まれている。最後に、留学生と国内学生のつながりを今後促進させていくための実践的な方法を提案する。

Until now, no specific drug to kill the virus that causes COVID-19 has received approval from the Food and Drug Association (FDA). However, the drugs that are often used are off-label antiviral drugs. The research design used is an umbrella review that identifies, assesses and interprets all findings on a systematic review and meta-analysis research topic. This umbrella review research involved 76 studies and 871,985 COVID-19 patients. Statins, colchicine, aspirin and siltuximab are associated with a reduced risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients, but siltuximab has the side effects of cytopenias, infections and hypersensitivity reactions. Remdesivir and umifenovir have the side effect of diarrhea, while ribavirin has the side effect of severe bradycardia in COVID-19 patients. Anakinra, oseltamivir, umifenovir, azithromycin, interferon beta and favipiravir are ineffective and have no significant benefit. Meanwhile, treating COVID-19 with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with conventional medicine has excellent results, efficacy, and safety effects. Only Jinhua qinggan granule (JHQG) has side effects in the form of mild diarrhea. Further research is needed regarding the concentration of TCM administered to COVID-19 patients, both children and adults.

Published: June 2024

Objective: There is limited data on the rates of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in non-intensive care units (ICU). Our aim was to determine the rates and features of CLABSI in non-ICU units.
Method: CLABSI surveillance is performed according to CDC criteria in Internal Medicine Nephrology, Pediatric/Adult Hematology, Oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) units. Hospital infections control committee surveillance data was used.
Results: Totally, 70028 patient days(pd) and 22358 catheter days, 101 infections were detected in 94 patients. The CLABSI rate was 1.44/1000 pd, the incidence density was 4.2/1000 catheter days, and the device utilization rate was 0.32. The highest infection rate was observed in the adult HSCT unit (15.18/1000 pd). 56.4% of the patients were male (n=53) and the mean age of the patients was 32±2.5 years. The mean length of hospitalization was 27.7±2.5 days. Half of the patients (n=47) had permanent central lines.  Hematologic cancer was found in 54.7% and hemodialysis in 19.2%. 21.8% of infections were polymicrobial. Of the 125 microorganisms isolated, 61.6% were Gram negative, 20.8% were fungi and 17.6% were Gram positive. The most frequent pathogen was E.coli (13.6%) followed by and K.pneumoniae (13.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (8%) and C.parapsilosis (7.2%). Crude mortality was 36.2%. Colistin and amikacin were the most effective antibiotics in E.coli and K.pneumoniae, oxacillin resistance was 60% in S. aureus. In Candida species, fluconazole resistance was 15.8%.
Conclusion: CLABSI can also be seen outside intensive care units and surveillance in these units is necessary for infection control.

Objective: The importance of occupational health and safety (OHS) and related health literacy is increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occupational health literacy status of healthcare workers in Adana (Turkey).
Method: The population of the study consists of health workers in Adana province (N=18,660). Between April 29 and June 13, four researchers visited the workplaces of health workers and asked them to answer online survey questions through the WhatsApp application in face-to-face meetings. The study was completed with 179 individuals determined using non-probability sampling method. The analyses were performed using the SPSS 22 software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the analyses. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The study included 179 healthcare workers with an average age of 32.36±7.97 years. Pre-employment medical examinations and periodic examinations were reported to have been performed in 65.9% and 50.3%, respectively. The "Occupational Health Literacy Scale" that was administered to the participants with a resulting avarage score was 80.30±11.68. Participants who underwent workplace periodic examinations had higher scores in Factor 1 and Factor 4 compared to those who did not undergo any periodic examination.
Conclusion: Participants who underwent periodic examinations and those who were informed about health risks had higher occupational health literacy. It is recommended that health workers be informed about health risks in the institutions they work, periodic examinations are carried out regularly, OHS trainings are planned, and these trainings are repeated periodically.
Current developments in small cell lung cancer
Authors: Aydınalp Camadan Yasemin
Published: June 2024

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), often associated with smoking, is characterized by its aggressive biology and potential for early metastasis. It accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer patients. The combination of platinum-based chemotherapy and etoposide has been used for many years in the treatment of SCLC. The prognosis for patients with SCLC who are treated as a single group is still quite poor. Recent research has provided a new perspective on the biology of SCLC. A survival benefit has been demonstrated by adding immune checkpoint inhibitors to chemotherapy in patients with extensive stage SCLC.
The study of the molecular, biological, and immunological properties of the heterogeneous structure of SCLC is a promising area of research for the future. Identification of distinct gene expression profiles (ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1) of SCLC patients may form the basis of the most effective and individualized therapeutic treatments in disease management. More research is needed to identify SCLC subtypes and develop effective treatments for this group of patients who have a poor prognosis.

La Exhacienda La Luz ha sido un espacio urbano-arquitectónico que calladamente, ha sido testigo de la vida de muchos habitantes de Pachuca. Encuentros y desencuentros se han dado entre sus paredes. A veces estas con forma de aulas, oficinas, auditorios, viviendas y otros usos que a lo largo de su historia han dejado huella física en su actual disposición. Su ubicación privilegiada a un costado del Río de las Avenidas —hoy Viaducto Nuevo Hidalgo—, le ha significado un papel preponderante en el desarrollo urbano de nuestra ciudad. Por muchos años fue el límite de la traza urbana de Pachuca, en otros un estratégico depósito de materias primas para la industria minera a la cual debe su origen por haber tenido como propósito inicial, el de beneficio de minerales. Hoy en el marco del trigésimo aniversario de la vida institucional de la Universidad La Salle Pachuca, nos hemos propuesto a hacer un repaso histórico de este edificio centenario.
History of linguistics as a path to dissertation progress and contextualization of research
Authors: Dubinsky Stanley
Published: June 2024

In our doctoral program (one which largely trains students in sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and L2 acquisition, rather than phonological, syntactic, and semantic theory), history of linguistics leads students to a deeper understanding of linguistics than is possible without it. Through this course, our students gain, in one semester rather than several, a broad perspective on the evolution of linguistic theories and methodologies. The course also serves as an opportunity for students to delve into the history of their own subfield and for them to frame the literature review portion of their own dissertation. The outcome of having this course is that our graduates have a broader perspective on general linguistics than they would have if they remained entirely focused on their own specialization, and that they come to understand where their own doctoral research program fits in the wider discipline of linguistics.

Graphs and networks in teaching the history of linguistics
Authors: Goldsmith John A.
Published: June 2024

Teaching the history of linguistics often involves talking about a large number of people – linguists and scholars in related fields – who are only hazily recognized by students, and often the teacher is no better off. A set of graphical networks can help enormously in the task of orienting oneself and keeping track of who is exactly who.

Representation of the history of linguistics in American college textbooks, 1950–2020
Authors: Thomas Margaret
Published: June 2024

Many students of linguistics get their first classroom exposure to the field in courses with titles like Introduction to Linguistics or Survey of Linguistics.  Such courses commonly employ textbooks that communicate the scope and methods of the discipline, and tacitly set students’ standards for what the discipline values.  This article examines textbooks that have been employed from the 1950s to the early 21st century in U.S. college courses that introduce students to linguistics.  The goal is to bring to light how the how the presence—or absence—of historical material shapes students’ assumptions about the value of the history of linguistics.

El síndrome de Stevens-Johnson (SSJ) y la necrólisis epidérmica tóxica (NET) son enfermedades raras que se caracterizan por necrosis epidérmica generalizada y desprendimiento de la piel. Se asocian con una morbilidad y mortalidad significativas, y el diagnóstico y tratamiento tempranos son fundamentales para lograr resultados favorables para los pacientes. En esta revisión se abordaran los avances recientes en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad. Se identificaron múltiples proteínas (galectina 7 y RIP3) que son biomarcadores poNETciales prometedores para SSJ/NET, aunque ambos aún se encuentran en fases iniciales de investigación. En cuanto al tratamiento, la ciclosporina es la terapia más eficaz para el tratamiento del SSJ, y una combinación de inmunoglobulina intravenosa (IVIg) y corticosteroides es más eficaz para la superposición SSJ/NET y NET. Debido a la naturaleza rara de la enfermedad, hay una falta de ensayos controlados aleatorios prospectivos y realizarlos en el futuro proporcionaría información valiosa sobre el tratamiento de esta enfermedad.

Neuromarketing in the core of analysing and anticipating consumer behaviour in the airline business sector. Appealing or repulsive for the airline customer?
Authors: Fragkogianni Marietta , Paraschi Elen Paraskevi , Vlassi Eirini
Published: June 2024

In parallel to the medical and psychological science, human brain has long been in the epicentre of modern business practice. ‘Neuromarketing’ constitutes a fundamental means to this process. Thus, notwithstanding the first signs of its genesis being viewed in medical terms in early 70s, it is only in recent years that neuromarketing research has grown exponentially. Yet, academic literature remains silent on the issue of neuromarketing application in the aviation sector. More precisely, the psychological resonance that practices of the kind could exert in prospective airline passengers’ psychology is not represented in current literature, mainly considering that successful promotion and profitability are of paramount importance in the airline business. In this study 874 scientific publications have been reviewed. Neuromarketing is presented in its constituents while the following areas of extant scholarship are highlighted: psychological, emotional, decision-making, advantages, challenges and ethics. The study ends up to a proposed theoretical framework paving the way for further research against the backdrop of the relationship between neuromarketing methods application marketing mix and airline passengers’ decisions.

Assessment of the Proximate and Mineral Compositions of Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extracts, the Carcass and Eggs of African Clariid Catfish, Heterobranchus bidorsalis
Authors: Stanley Obialo ONUOHA , Emmanuel Kolawole AJANI , ONI Adetola JENYO-
Published: June 2024

The need to optimize feed efficiency, feed digestibility and improve metabolism, growth, and reproductive performance of fish has necessitated the use of phytogenic feed additives in aquaculture. A Study was carried out to assess the Proximate and mineral compositions of aqueous and ethanolic Moringa oleifera leave extracts (AMOLE and EMOLE respectively) according to standard procedures. Consequently, these two extracts were used to formulate test diets containing 0.00/100g (control), 1.0g/100g, 2.0g/100g and 3.0g/100g inclusion levels. H. bidorsalis samples (n=216; 800.00+150.00g; 37.50±1.5cm) were randomly distributed in triplicate into 24 concrete tanks of size 6m x 4m x1.3m in a completely randomized 2x4 factorial design and fed at 5% body weight twice daily for 16 weeks. The proximate and mineral compositions of the diets was determined while the carcass and the eggs nutrients compositions were subsequently assessed. The proximate composition of the eggs were significantly higher in crude protein contents than the CP in the MOLE (34.14±0.05), AMOLE (38.84±0.17) and EMOLE (38.44±0.07) diets and the Carcass (37.46±0.28) with range (72.32±0.41 (control) - 78.78±0.58 % (3.0/100g)) while the ash (1.44±0.10 (3g/100g - 2.41±0.10% (control)) and ether (2.88±0.09 (3.0/100g) - 3.25±0.9% (control) ) contents where significantly lower than the highest contents of ash (20.01±0.27%) recorded in fish fed 2.0/100g AMOLE diet and (7.94±0.05%) ether recorded in the control diet. Aqueous extraction method had the highest significant (P<0.05) retention of mineral concentrations: Ca (21.04), P (14.89), Mg (16.40), Na (23.33), K (65.57), Fe (10.67), Cu (6.48) and Zn (5.55) compare to ethanolic extraction method: Ca (2.87), P (12.65), Mg (7.65), Na (19.24), K (13.76), Fe (9.07), Cu (2.40) and Zn (2.32). For the carcass, only Manganese, Iron and Copper compositions were significant (P<0.05) among all treatment groups and the control. These findings have far reaching nutritional importance in the healthcare system and will help to address undernutrition in fish broodstock management in a cost effective manner. Thus, the use of M. oleifera leaves extracts as phytogenic feed additives and nutrients booster should be encouraged and sustained towards sustainable aquaculture development.

TÜRKİYE SEZARYEN ORANI DURUM ANALİZİ VE POLİTİKA ÖNERİLERİ
Authors: Topaktaş Gülsen , Beylik Umut
Published: June 2024

Amaç: Türkiye 2022 yılı itibarı ile sezaryen oranında Dünya’da ilk sıraya konumlanmıştır. Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki sezaryen ve normal doğum ile ilgili mevcut durumu ortaya koymak ve politika önerilerinde bulunmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereçler ve Yöntem: Çalışmada kullanılan veriler Sağlık Bakanlığı istatistik yıllıkları, Eurostat ve OECD veri tabanlarından, Sağlık Bakanlığı ve Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu ilgili birimlerinin web sitelerinden temin edilmiş olup kamuoyuna açık verilerdir. Çalışma temin edilen veriler kapsamında kendi içinde Türkiye bölgeleri ve uluslararası düzeyde karşılaştırmalı analizi yapılmış, aynı zamanda literatür ile de tartışılmıştır.
Bulgular: Türkiye sezaryen oranı açısından Dünya’da ilk sıradadır, özel sektörse sezaryen oranı %78,1’çıkmıştır. Türkiye’de bölgeler arasında sezaryen oranları arasında farklılıklar yüksektir. Sağlık Bakanlığı ve Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu’nun caydırıcı düzenlemelerine rağmen sezaryen oranları Türkiye’de artma eğilimini devam ettirmiştir.
Sonuç: Türkiye sezaryen oranlarını düşürmeye yönelik olarak; başarılı ülkelerin uygulamalarını değerlendirmeli, kanıta dayalı rehber ve protokoller kapsamında doğum sürecini yürütmeli, sezaryen ameliyatını maliyet unsuru yapmak yerine toplumu anne ve bebek sağlığı açısından normal doğuma yönelik aydınlatmalıdır. Sağlık ve ödeme sistemlerinde sezaryene yönelik bütünleşik yönetim mekanizması oluşturmalıdır.

Echoes of the Beatles in Hamburg
Authors: Gottfridsson Hans Olof
Published: June 2024

The Beatles’ Hamburg period is important for the group’s early career in particular, and is among the most rewritten periods, not least after the group split in 1970. The aim of this article is to identify the original British Hamburg narrative from the 1960s, both its sources and changes in the stories during the decade. For this purpose, a broad review has been made of existing media material from the period. The result shows the existence of extensive 1960s source material and several contemporary narratives of the period, divided here into three categories: the ‘Liverpool narrative’, the ‘national narrative’ and the ‘official narratives’. The most primary is the Liverpool material; the most diverse is the national material; and the one with the greatest impact both in the 1960s and later is the official publications.

‘When Paul got an idea or an arrangement in his head…’
Authors: Thurmaier David
Published: June 2024

For a song that is so mercilessly maligned, Paul McCartney’s ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ contains attractive musical features that demonstrate his effortless flow of ideas. The rehearsals captured on tape reveal genuine compositional collaboration and experimentation between the Beatles that belies the harsh criticism of McCartney in particular. Cast as an absurd story about an assassin with a silver hammer, the song displays some of McCartney’s best attributes such as total command of pop musical language, whimsy, avant-garde inspiration and memorable melodies. In addition, this article examines documented and potential sources of inspiration for the song, which can be viewed more richly in context as a type of murder ballad. Analysis of extant rehearsal recordings focuses attention on McCartney’s search for the most effective transition between the verse and chorus of the song, reinforcing his attention to detail through experimentation in the studio. The article closes by suggesting that McCartney’s musical imagination was so fertile during this period that it was inevitable that his often uninterested and uninspired bandmates would clash over the numerous sessions devoted to this song.

Carry that weight
Authors: Williams Nick
Published: June 2024

This article examines creativity and conflict in the Beatles. Building on the theory of entrepreneurial teams, the article shows that even in the most creative group settings, leadership is required to sustain creativity over time. Initially, restless determination and creativity can compensate for a lack of leadership, but eventually an absence of leadership can mean that conflict is not resolved. The pre-Epstein Beatles years can be characterized as lacking real organizational leadership, but this was compensated for by drive and the focal point of de facto leader John. The Epstein years brought strategic direction and leadership, while the post-Epstein years saw a disintegration of leadership, with others, particularly Paul, trying to fill the gap after Epstein’s death. In the end, entrepreneurial teams cannot sustain their creativity without effective leadership. Evidence from the Beatles’ career, particularly the
Get Back
sessions, is used to demonstrate how leadership is required, even among highly creative groups.

Arsenic to the Rescue of European Potatoes: The Institutionalisation of Plant Protection in France and Germany (1920s–1950s)
Authors: Lyautey Margot
Published: June 2024

By displacing Rachel Carson’s approach in
Silent Spring
to another time, another place and another family of pesticides, this paper tells the story of the wide adoption of arsenates, despite their known toxicity, to control the then newly present Colorado potato beetle in Western Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s. Although arsenate use entailed health and environmental risks, it was extended to other insect pests because this control method proved effective. The Colorado beetle appears as the matrix around which plant protection was developed in France and Germany. The regulations, administrative structures and habits that revolved around the wide use of arsenates then paved the way for the quick and massive adoption of organochlorides after 1945.

Dumping in the Global Dixie: Circle of Poison and the Contamination of the Global South
Authors: Hay Amy M.
Published: June 2024

The 1981 publication of David Weir and Mark Shapiro’s exposé
Circle of Poison
almost ten years after the banning of DDT represented how the landscape of understandings about hazardous chemicals and their regulation had changed. The book exposed two things. One was the ways power had reconfigured itself, which in turn highlighted the ways the story
Silent Spring
told, which effectively moved hearts and minds to make change happen. One thing that remained hidden, however, to both Rachel Carson and Weir and Shapiro, was the degree to which the chemical industry traded at the local and regional level, conducting international trade, emulating the poor and often bad faith practices of the transnational corporations. The failure of
Circle
’s narrative, coupled with an overlooked and extensive network of mom-and-pop chemical companies, failed to build on
Silent Spring
’s legacy.

Tales Behind a Spice: Toxified Terrain and Tortured Bodies in the Making of Indian Small Cardamom
Authors: Krishna Anu
Published: June 2024

This article explores the convergence of pesticide toxicity with caste inequalities and the lingering legacies of colonialism on cardamom plantations in the Cardamom Hills, India. Known for its fragrance and flavour, Indian small cardamom (
Elettaria cardamomum
) is the third most expensive spice on the international market. The mystic allure that is attributed to cardamom by the spice industry conceals how it is produced on a toxified terrain and by labouring female bodies tortured by toxic chemicals, marshalled through an exploitative socioeconomic system. This article brings the literature on toxicity in conversation with the epistemologies of the concept of the Plantationocene in order to explain the toxic worldings inside twenty-first-century plantations. In doing so, the article argues that pesticide toxicity should be read in the light of colonialism, social inequalities and the disparities in global regulations on pesticide production, trade and consumption.

Tailor-Made Pesticides. Understanding the Pesticides Market in a Productive Agricultural Region of the Cambodian Mekong Delta
Authors: Bureau-Point Eve , Venot Jean-Philippe , Heourn Sreytouch
Published: June 2024

This article draws on approaches in the anthropology of things and the anthropology of capitalism. It brings to light fragments of the supply chains of pesticides in one of the most productive agricultural regions in Cambodia. Based on an ethnographic study conducted from November 2021 to December 2022 with farmers, petty retailers and marketing agents enrolled in the pesticides sector, this article shows how a study of local interactions between pesticides and these actors brings out multi-level data, ranging from the local marketing strategies to transnational manufacturing of pesticides. It highlights various stages that are taking place between small-scale farmers and industrial players to redefine tailor-made pesticides and fuel the local market.

Incidental Finding of Parathyroid Adenoma in a Patient with Breast Carcinoma Detected by PET/CT 18F -FDG Examination and Confirmed by 99 mTc -Terofosmin SPECT/CT
Authors: Botushanova Albena , Botushanov Aleksandar , Botushanov Nikolay , Popov Veselin
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is due to the overproduction of PTH by one or more abnormally altered parathyroid glands and leads to the development of hypercalcemia.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 69-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with carcinoma of the right mammary gland in 2010. She underwent surgical treatment (right sided mammectomy) and follow-up hormone therapy with Letrozole until cancer remission in 2020. The patient was sent for a positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scan for restaging in May 2022. The patient underwent a whole- body PET/CT 18F-Fluorodesoxyglucosae (18F-FDG) examination on a “SIEMENS” hybrid PET/CT device, model “Biograph mCT64.” During the processing of the hybrid PET/CT images, a rounded lesion suspicious for a parathyroid adenoma of the lower right parathyroid gland was visualized with a slightly increased metabolic activity of SUVmax-2.91. The neck ultrasound revealed a solid, hypoechoic, rounded formation with peripheral blood supply suspicious for a lower right parathyroid adenoma. Blood tests revealed primary hyperparathyroidism osteoporosis of the proximal femur. To diagnostic clarification of the area caudal to the right lobe of the thyroid gland, after 1 month, a single isotope two-phase scintigraphy with 99 mTc-tetrofosmin combined with an early single-photon emission CT (SPECT/CT) technique was performed on a SPECT/ CT gamma camera “Siemens,” model “Symbia Intevo 6.” In the early phase (20 min.) and on the early SPECT/CT images, a hyperfixing zone accumulating the radiomarker, suspicious for a parathyroid adenoma, was visualized under the right lobe of the thyroid gland. The patient underwent surgery, during which a parathyroid adenoma was histologically proven.
CONCLUSION: This case shows that PET/CT 18F-FDG examination can be useful in discovering parathyroid adenomas.
