Iran Cultural Policy toward Kurds in the Light of its Constitution, Laws and Formal Records
Authors: Mika Hardi Mahdi
Published: July 2022

The Contemporary Iran government is the result of the post-mashrutyat movement (as an enlightenment movement). It has been sealed off by the coup of Sayd Zyaddin and Raza Shah. Starting from those days until the present Islamic Republic of Iran, the government has used history, formal state records (historians, political elite and academic institutions) and education to make allegiance among the Kurdish intellectuals. This has been adopted in accordance with the military, security and general policy of the state. It has shaped the Kurdish history and memory to reflect and underpin the formal narrative the state discourse sponsors; it does not reflect the facts and arguments residing in the memory, history and manuscripts of the Kurdish people. This research uses a historically descriptive-analysis and depends on evidence from the written records; it tries to answer these questions: what is Iran’s cultural policy (the state and the elite policy) toward the Kurds? How is the Kurdish Identity imagined in the formal records, the education and the state, what position does that image have? What are the ways it has been used for political, nation-building and state-building ends?

Published: July 2022

Background

Many women with HIV (WWH) have suboptimal adherence to oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) due to multilevel barriers to HIV care access and retention. A long-acting injectable (LAI) version of ART was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in January 2021 and has the potential to overcome many of these barriers by eliminating the need for daily pill taking. However, it may not be optimal for all WWH. It is critical to develop tools that facilitate patient-provider shared decision making about oral versus LAI ART modalities to promote women’s adherence and long-term HIV outcomes.

Objective

This study will develop and pilot test a web-based patient decision aid called i.ART+support (i.ARTs). This decision aid aims to support shared decision making between WWH and their providers, and help women choose between oral and LAI HIV treatment.

Methods

The study will occur in 3 phases. In phase 1, we will utilize a mixed methods approach to collect data from WWH and medical and social service providers to inform i.ARTs content. During phase 2, we will conduct focus groups with WWH and providers to refine i.ARTs content and develop the web-based decision aid. In phase 3, i.ARTs will be tested in a randomized controlled trial with 180 women in Miami, Florida, and assessed for feasibility, usability, and acceptability, as well as to evaluate the associations between receiving i.ARTs and viral suppression, ART pharmacy refills, and clinic attendance.

Results

This study was funded in March 2021. Columbia University’s IRB approved the study protocols (approval number IRB-AAAT5314). Protocols for phase 1 interviews have been developed and interviews with service providers started in September 2021. We will apply for Clinicaltrials.gov registration prior to phase 3, which is when our first participant will be enrolled in the randomized controlled trial. This is anticipated to occur in April 2023.

Conclusions

This study is the first to develop a web-based patient decision aid to support WWH choices between oral and LAI ART. Its strengths include the incorporation of both patient and provider perspectives, a mixed methods design, and implementation in a real-world clinical setting.

Psychometric Properties of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Nikolovski Aleksandra , Gamgoum Lara , Deol Arshpreet , Quilichini Shea , Kazemir Ethan , Rhodenizer Jonathan , Oliveira Ana , Brooks Dina , Alsubheen Sanaa
Published: July 2022

Background

In individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anxiety and depression contribute to increased mortality and exacerbations, decreased physical functioning, and deteriorated health-related quality of life. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a patient-reported tool developed to measure symptoms of anxiety and depression in clinical settings. The HADS has been frequently used with individuals with COPD; however, its measurement properties lack critical appraisal in this population.

Objective

This review aims to summarize and critically appraise the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the HADS in individuals with COPD.

Methods

Five electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, PsychINFO, and Web of Science) will be systematically searched. Articles will be included if they assessed the measurement properties of the HADS in COPD; were published in a peer-reviewed journal; and were written in English. The COSMIN (Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments) guidelines will be used to assess the methodological quality and level of evidence in the selected studies.

Results

To date, 12 articles met the inclusion criteria and will be included in the systematic review. The results of the psychometric properties of HADS will be qualitatively summarized and compared against the criteria for good measurement properties. The overall quality of evidence will be graded using the modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. We expect to complete the systematic review by December 2022.

Conclusions

This systematic review will be the first to evaluate the psychometric properties of the HADS in individuals with COPD. Given the negative impact of anxiety and depression on physical functioning and health-related quality of life, this systematic review provides an opportunity to use the HADS as a validated measurement tool for the assessment and treatment of anxiety and depression in individuals with COPD.

Authors: Yotsu Rie R , Itoh Sakiko , Yao Koffi Aubin , Kouadio Kouamé , Ugai Kazuko , Koffi Yao Didier , Almamy Diabate , Vagamon Bamba , Blanton Ronald E
Published: July 2022

Background

There is a high prevalence of skin diseases sub-Saharan Africa, including skin neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that could lead to lifelong disabilities and deformities if not diagnosed and treated early. To achieve early detection and early treatment of these skin diseases, we developed a mobile health app, eSkinHealth.

Objective

This paper outlines a protocol for evaluating the effect of our eSkinHealth app in the early detection and effective management of skin diseases in Côte d’Ivoire.

Methods

A mixed methods pilot trial will be conducted in Côte d’Ivoire and will consist of 3 phases: (1) the development and improvement of the eSkinHealth app, (2) a pilot trial to evaluate the usability of the eSkinHealth app for local medical staff in Côte d’Ivoire, and (3) a pilot trial to evaluate the effectiveness of early detection and case management of targeted skin NTDs (Buruli ulcer, leprosy, yaws, and lymphatic filariasis) with the eSkinHealth app in Côte d’Ivoire. The pilot study will be implemented as a 2-arm trial with local health care providers and patients with skin NTDs over a 3-month follow-up period. The local health care providers will be assigned to an intervention group receiving the eSkinHealth app to be used in their daily practices or a control group. Training will be provided on the use and implementation of the app and the diagnostic pipeline to the intervention group only, while both groups will receive training on skin diseases. Our primary outcome is to evaluate the early detection and effective management of skin diseases using the eSkinHealth app in Côte d’Ivoire by the number of cases diagnosed and managed. Additionally, we will evaluate the eSkinHealth app with validated questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Procedures of our methods have been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Ministry of Health, Côte d’Ivoire and by Tulane University in 2021.

Results

This study was funded in 2021. We started the enrollment of patients in February 2022, and data collection is currently underway. We expect the first results to be submitted for publication in 2023.

Conclusions

Our eSkinHealth app is a field-adapted platform that could provide both direct diagnostic and management assistance to health workers in remote settings. The study will provide evidence for the usability and the effectiveness of the eSkinHealth app to improve the early detection and case management of skin NTDs in Côte d’Ivoire and, furthermore, is expected to contribute to knowledge on mobile health approaches in the control of skin NTDs.

Upper Extremity Examination for Neuromuscular Diseases (U-EXTEND): Protocol for a Multimodal Feasibility Study
Authors: Gutierrez Robert , McCrady Allison , Masterson Chelsea , Tolman Sarah , Boukhechba Mehdi , Barnes Laura , Blemker Silvia , Scharf Rebecca
Published: July 2022

Background

Neuromuscular diseases, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), may result in the loss of motor movements, respiratory failure, and early mortality in young children and in adulthood. With novel treatments now available, new evaluation methods are needed to assess progress that is not currently captured in existing motor scale tests.

Objective

With our feasibility study, our interdisciplinary team of investigators aims to develop a novel, multimodal paradigm of measuring motor function in children with neuromuscular diseases that will revolutionize the way that clinical trial end points are measured, thereby accelerating the pipeline of new treatments for childhood neuromuscular diseases. Through the Upper Extremity Examination for Neuromuscular Diseases (U-EXTEND) study, we hypothesize that the novel objective measures of upper extremity muscle structure and function proposed herein will be able to capture small changes and differences in function that cannot be measured with current clinical metrics.

Methods

U-EXTEND introduces a novel paradigm in which concrete, quantitative measures are used to assess motor function in patients with SMA and DMD. Aim 1 will focus on the use of ultrasound techniques to study muscle size, quality, and function, specifically isolating the biceps and pronator muscles of the upper extremities for follow-ups over time. To achieve this, clinical investigators will extract a set of measurements related to muscle structure, quality, and function by using ultrasound imaging and handheld dynamometry. Aim 2 will focus on leveraging wearable wireless sensor technology to capture motion data as participants perform activities of daily living. Measurement data will be examined and compared to those from a healthy cohort, and a motor function score will be calculated.

Results

Data collection for both aims began in January 2021. As of July 2022, we have enrolled 44 participants (9 with SMA, 20 with DMD, and 15 healthy participants). We expect the initial results to be published in summer 2022.

Conclusions

We hypothesize that by applying the described tools and techniques for measuring muscle structure and upper extremity function, we will have created a system for the precise quantification of changes in motor function among patients with neuromuscular diseases. Our study will allow us to track the minimal clinically important difference over time to assess progress in novel treatments. By comparing the muscle scores and functional scores over multiple visits, we will be able to detect small changes in both the ability of the participants to perform the functional tasks and their intrinsic muscle properties.

Published: August 2022

The world is currently facing a medical crisis. The epidemic has affected millions of people around the world since its appearance. This situation needs an urgent solution. Most countries have used different solutions to stop the spread of the epidemic. The World Health Organization has imposed some rules that people should adhere. The rules are such, wearing masks, quarantining infected people and social distancing. Social distancing is one of the most important solutions that have given good results to confront the emerging virus. Several systems have been developed that use artificial intelligence and deep learning to track social distancing. In this study, a system based on deep learning has been proposed. The system includes monitoring and detecting people besides measuring the social distance between them. The proposed system consists of two parts: (1) detecting the faces of people using the Viola-Jones algorithm. The Cascade classifiers were trained. The Cascade classifiers used in the algorithm with feature descriptors to detect side faces and wear masks. Hence, training is dominant for detection. (2) measurement of the Euclidean distance between the centers of the rectangles of the people who were revealed in the first part. The distance between individuals' is measured to check how well they adhere to social distancing. The results revealed that the proposed system can perform well in applying images to track the distance between people.

A Rare Interesting Case of Brunner’s Gland Hyperplasia Causing Gastrointestinal Tract Obstruction
Authors: Azeem I , Vin dhu , Natarajan Suresh
Published: July 2022

Brunner glands are exocrine glands that secrete mucus to protect against acid secretion. Brunner gland hyperplasia is an expansion in size and shape of glands due to excess mucus secretion which occurs in cases where acid is secreted in excess notably duodenal ulcer or gastritis. Usually asymptomatic as Brunner gland hyperplasia appears as small nodular growth noticed during endoscopic examination. Some Brunner gland hyperplasia causes gastric outlet symptoms that are seen in our case study, as we present a rare and interesting case of Brunner gland hyperplasia causing blockage of the gastric outlet (rare symptom). Although endoscopic removal was done in suspicion of malignancy and turned out to be benign Brunner gland hyperplasia which we are discussing in our case as an elaborate discussion. The importance of considering Brunner gland hyperplasia as a differential diagnosis for gastric outlet blockage, as well as the use of endoscopic biopsy for ruling out cancer, are reviewed in depth. There have been many reports in the adult literature of Brunner's gland hyperplasia causing the bleeding, blockage, or forming intestinal or duodenal folds. Similar cases of Brunner gland hyperplasia impeding stomach outflow are highly uncommon and should be reported.In cases of gastric outlet blockage, Brunner gland hyperplasia should be considered as a distinguishing a particular disease or condition from others that present with similar clinical features, and endoscopic assessment with histopathological microscopy may be a valuable tool in preventing needless surgical intervention. This case report research adds to the necessity of endoscopic biopsy.

Published: July 2022

Congenital facial nerve palsy is defined as the presence of seventh cranial nerve palsy at birth or shortly thereafter. Itoccurs due to paralysis of muscles of facial expressions. It is mostly developmental or due to birth trauma. It is rare to be bornwith unilateral facial nerve palsy with associated ear anomaly, and hence determining the etiology is pivotal in accessing theprognosis and for selecting the right treatment for better outcome. In this case, a child is born with unilateral left -sided lowermotor neuron type facial palsy, along with left sided microtia with no history of birth trauma or any associated congenital anomalies.Therefore, it is of developmental origin and does not fit into any syndromic diagnosis with an magnetic resonance imaging brainshowing normal facial nerve anatomy. Child had little improvement in facial expressions with better eye closure with regularphysiotherapy. Facial reanimation surgeries can be done either in preschool or adolescent period depending on the child’scondition. In this case, the child is being managed conservatively until he is fit enough to perform facial reanimation surgeries.

Authors: Nishanthy M , Saikumar Chitralekha
Published: July 2022

Intensive Care Units infections have been found to be highest amidst the nosocomial infections. Sepsis results in increased morbidity and mortality rates. In order to decrease mortality and morbidity rates associated with sepsis, intensivists should have a keen knowledge of the existing bacteriological flora and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. In this study, we aim to determine the prevalence of current bacteriological profiles in blood cultures, along with their antibiogram from Intensive Care Unit patients. This project was a retrospective cross-sectional study carried out for the duration of one year from December 2018 to 2019 in the Central lab, Microbiology department at tertiary care hospital, from patients suspicious of some blood stream infections like sepsis or other risk factors for it. From ICU, the number of blood samples received was 1440 in our Central Microbiology laboratory. All the samples received in the microbiology central lab were processed, and laboratory data, including bacteriological profile and antimicrobial susceptibilities were analysed. From ICU, the number of blood samples totally received were 1440 in our microbiology laboratory. Identification of isolates was done by colony morphology, Gram stain and standard biochemical reactions. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern was conferred by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Total number of positive cultures present in the study was 156(10.8%). Among these culture growth organisms, 82 were Gram positive (55.4%) isolates and 74 were Gram negative (50%). The most common isolate was Coagulase negative Staphylococcus trailed by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruguinosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus species. Majority of the Gram positive isolates were susceptible to Linezolid, vancomycin and clindamycin. All the Gram negative isolates were susceptible to Carbapenems ,with susceptibility rate of 97% for E. coli, 93% for Acinetobacter, 93% for Pseudomonas aeruguinosa and almost all these isolates showed 100% susceptibility to Colistin and Polymyxin-B.

Objetivo: este artigo visa a averiguar os contornos assumidos pela garantia de acesso à justiça no bojo do desenvolvimento sustentável da República Federativa do Brasil, de forma a contrapor as atuais limitações fáticas dessa importante garantia constitucional com o ideal da igualdade de acesso à justiça para todos, consubstanciado no Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 16 da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Método: elaborado mediante raciocínio indutivo, abordagem descritiva e levantamento bibliográfico, o ensaio parte da análise da construção cultural da garantia de acesso à justiça, para, então, delimitar o panorama doutrinário e legal em que a garantia se insere e examinar os gargalos que apresenta no cenário jurídico brasileiro contemporâneo. Resultado: ao final, o trabalho pretende demonstrar que um discurso em prol da igualdade de acesso à justiça para todos que não seja aderente à realidade fática se traduz em verdadeiro entrave à concretização do Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 16 – e, portanto, ao desenvolvimento sustentável da República.
Using Multiple-Covariate Distance Sampling to estimate Djaffa Mountains Guereza (Colobus guereza gallarum) density and abundance across forest fragments in Ahmar Mountains, Ethiopia

Published: July 2022

A baseline for primate conservation is information on population
density. Such evidence, however, is still scarce for tropical forest
monkeys, who are under threat from habitat loss due to deforestation,
land conversion for agriculture, climate change, illicit hunting,
habitat fragmentations, logging, and other disturbances. Detailed
studies on population size and ecology of Djaffa Mountains guerezas (C.
g. gallarum) in their potential range have not been carried out. This
study aims to estimate the density and total population abundance of
Djaffa Mountains guereza across the forest fragments in the Ahmar
Mountains, Eastern Ethiopia. We conducted line-transect surveys across
the selected forests to provide reliable population size using
multiple-covariate distance sampling. Between December 2020 and
September 2021, we sampled 22 transects, covering a total distance of
93.7 km. Throughout the surveys, we observed 79 Djaffa Mountains guereza
groups. There was a considerable difference in encounter rates of a
taxon between the forests surveyed. The overall C. g. gallarum density
was 16.5 groups/km2 (95%CI = 10.2–24.5) and 83.1 individual
density/km2 (95%CI = 50.7–121.1), with an estimated total abundance of
15205 (95%CI = 9288–22163) individuals throughout the studied forests.
Our results showed that the population density of a taxon in the Ahmar
Mountains is lower than a sister group, C. g. guereza studied in other
localities of Ethiopia. We propose that in the research region,
analyzing conservation issues, replenishing forest sections, and
monitoring C. g. gallarum populations should be a priority.
Apparent wing-assisted incline running in a Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula)
Authors: Sakich Nicholas
Published: July 2022

Wing-assisted incline running (WAIR) has been observed in bird taxa from multiple clades. Its wide phylogenetic distribution in modern birds suggests that it is an ancestral trait for class Aves. WAIR as a behaviour is speculated to predate the evolution of full-powered flight, and to have formed a behavioural and physiological stepping stone between terrestrial and aerial life. Here I report an observation of apparent WAIR in a Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) photographed incidentally on a trail camera deployed in an urban backyard in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. To my knowledge this is the first documented observation of apparent WAIR for the family Icteridae. Furthermore, it highlights the value of non-systematic use of trail cameras for making unique natural history observations.

Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) is one of the most common and widely distributed mammals in Canada and has been recorded to live over 30 years in the wild. As part of a long-term bat research project in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Saskatchewan, we recaptured a male Little Brown Bat in a mist net over Battle Creek on 12 June 2021. The bat was recaptured within 100 m of where it was first captured and banded as an adult in 1993, indicating that this bat was at least 29 years old and exhibited repeated use of the same summer flying, foraging, and drinking site. The bat was not caught in the intervening years; therefore, its frequency of use of this site is unknown. In eastern North America, this species has declined because of high mortality rates associated with White-nose Syndrome (WNS). WNS has been moving westward and has now been detected in eastern and western Saskatchewan. Understanding aspects of the natural history of Little Brown Bat, including longevity, is important before WNS is detected in a region and leads us to advocate continued marking of individuals (e.g., banding, PIT tagging) to continue learning about bat longevity and survival before and after WNS infection.
A highly anomalous Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) song
Authors: Edwards Brandon , Binley Allison , English Willow , Hudgins Emma , Snow Samuel
Published: July 2022

Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a highly vocal species with a repertoire of similar, yet acoustically distinct songs. These songs may be altered drastically if, as a nestling, the male goes deaf or becomes acoustically isolated. In deaf Red-winged Blackbirds, these dramatic song alterations may present as songs bearing slight resemblance to the introductory phrase of their normal song. Here, we present a Red-winged Blackbird song observed in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, that is far outside any normal variation in Red-winged Blackbird songs. Given the individual’s age and the consistency of the anomalous song, it is possible that this is a deaf bird.

Racism Toward Chinese Ethnic Group in Indonesian Social Media: Hate Speeches Analysis from Forensic Linguistic Perspective
Authors: Dwi Floranti Astri
Published: July 2022

Anti-Chinese sentiments are still deeply ingrained in the Indonesian public discourse. The issue of their identity and position triggers to many discriminatory actions toward them. The purpose of this study is to analyze hate speech against Chinese ethnic group expressed in Indonesian social media which has officially evaluated as a legal offense by the authorities. The theories of speech acts from Austin (1962) and Searle (1969) for a forensic linguistic study are employed to examine the hate speech as utterances and evaluate them in the context of Indonesian legal regulations. The data were obtained from Direktori Putusan Mahkamah Agung from 2019 - 2021. The results of the analysis reveal that hate speech portrays hurtful feelings and harmful attitudes. It is reflected by malice (expressive speech act), insult, or accuse (assertive speech act), persuasions so that others commit crimes (directive speech act), and crime plans in the future (commissive speech act). Then, there are ten forms of pejorative labels for the Chinese ethnic group. Race-based hate speeches expressed in the online media are prohibited according to Article 28 paragraph (2) of The ITE Law Article Number 19 of 2016. They are prejudiced action, violate human rights and cannot be considered as freedom of opinion and democracy because of their dangerous perlocutionary effects. The effects can provoke discriminatory action and even crime.

This study is aimed to provide a different analysis related to dispute of trademark or brand of IKEA against Ikema. IKEA in the Judicial Review Verdict of Indonesia Supreme Court of (Peninjauan Kembali Mahkamah Agung), was asserted not having similarity with Ikema. On the other hand, the author views this case is potentially presumed as as a dilution case. Regarding this, the analysis employs theory that proposed by Shuy (2002) to uncover the identical similarity between the two trademarks. Graphemic and Phonetic analysis are used to establish the feature similarity, for analysis of public perception upon the both trademarks, psycholinguistic has been practiced. The result is the both trademarks are similar in terms of dilution.
