Authors: Bozkan Zeynep , Yaygıngül Rahime , Bulut Osman
Published: November 2021

This study aimed to determine the anesthetic efficacy of intranasal medetomidine/ketamine and diazepam/ketamine combinations in New Zealand White rabbits. For this purpose, 12 adult New Zealand White rabbits weighing 2.3‐4.1 kg were used by randomly dividing the animals into two groups of six animals: Medetomidine ‐ Ketamine (MK) and Diazepam ‐ Ketamine (DK). Intranasally, medetomidine (0.2 mg kg‐1) and ketamine (10 mg kg‐1) combination was administered to the MK group and, diazepam (1 mg kg‐1) and ketamine (10 mg kg‐1) to the DK group. Before and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after anesthesia, loss, and recovery of the reflexes were evaluated. Onset and duration of the anesthesia, duration of the surgical anesthesia, and the total anesthesia time were also recorded. Loss and recovery time of reflexes was shorter in the DK group compared to the MK group. Respiratory rate, heart rate, and SpO2 decreased as expected in both groups but all parameters, especially SpO2, were lower in the MK group comparing the DK group. These results showed that both MK and DK combinations administered IN provide anesthesia in the time and depth that minor surgical procedures and clinical applications could be performed. Although it seems promising considering its practicality and anesthetic efficacy, it is clear that more detailed studies with more animals are needed before the safety of these protocols can be established.Their use, recommended for routine clinical procedures when considered SpO2, was severely decreased, especially in the MK group.
Social influence and meat-eating behaviour – An agent-based model
Authors: Ge Jiaqi , Scalco Andrea , Craig Tony
Published: November 2021

Humans are social animals. Even the very personal decision of what someone eats is influenced by others around them. In this study, we propose four social interaction mechanisms driven by social identity that affect a person’s decision to eat or not eat meat. Using data from the British Social Attitude Survey in 2014, we operationalise social identity in an agent-based model to study the effect of social interactions on the spread of meat-eating behaviour in the British population. We find that social interactions are crucial in determining the spread of meat-eating behaviour. In order to bring about large-scale behavioural changes at the system level, people need to 1) have a strong openness to influences from both in-group and out-group members who have a different dietary behaviour, and 2) have a weak tendency to reinforce their current behaviour after seeing in-group members sharing the same behaviour. The agent-based model is shown to be a useful tool to operationalise social theories in a well-defined context, and to upscale the system to study its dynamic evolutions under different scenarios.

Published: November 2021

Indonesian society is a multicultural society that lives side by side with all the differences. In Indonesia, they are presently six official religions-namely Islam, Protestant Christian, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. It is this difference of belief that makes people live in peace and practice their respective religious teachings without any intention of disturbing the beliefs of others. The teaching of tolerance is also applied in one of the villages in Malang Regency, namely Peniwen Village. The majority of the population of this village are Protestant and Catholic Christians. Residents in this village always carry out religious activities in accordance with what has been ordered without any sense of demeaning other religions. The method used in this article is descriptive qualitative using Max Weber's theory of rationality. The purpose of this article is to find out the rationality of the people of Peniwen Village in carrying out religious activities during the pandemic. This happened because during the pandemic almost all activities were limited. The results of this study demonstrate that the Village residents continue to perform religious activities by implementing health protocols and upholding tolerance between different religious communities. The current health protocols regulate the number of congregants who will worship at the church, wear masks, and maintain personal distance.

Un análisis de la imagen: las pinturas de Alfredo Vivero como un llamado al retorno de la sabiduría ancestral
Authors: Mayorga Sabogal María Fernanda
Published: November 2021

El propósito del presente texto es realizar un análisis filosófico de la imagen. La imagen entendida como una representación visual. La manera más propia en que al filósofo le interesa el estudio de la imagen es en cuanto esta es un fenómeno estético, y en cuanto es considerada como una expresión del lenguaje. Si bien no tenemos la experticia de trabajar a profundidad el tema de la estética, mucho menos el del lenguaje, nuestro propósito es hacer un primer acercamiento al análisis de la imagen como un elemento que tiene el poder de influir en la percepción de los seres humanos, puesto que la imagen comunica un cierto tipo de discurso, el cual siempre tiene un efecto significante en la manera en que el ser humano se relaciona con el mundo. Pretendemos defender la tesis de que el acercamiento que una persona o un grupo de personas tienen hacia un tipo de imagen, habla de la manera en que estas 42 perciben, interpretan y experimentan el mundo, asimismo queremos sustentar que las imágenes nos invitan o nos estimulan a ver de cierta manera, lo cual pretendemos evidenciarlo a través de un ejemplo concreto: el grupo de personas que gustan de las obras del maestro Alfredo Vivero son personas que tienden a defender un discurso de descolonización y de recuperación de los saberes y tradiciones de las raíces amerindias. Además de ello, estas imágenes tienen la facultad de educarnos la mirada frente a los juicios peyorativos que se suelen tener de los pueblos indígenas. Por otro lado, resaltaremos que la imagen tiene un poder comunicativo, religioso, educativo y hasta puede llegar a tener un valor etnográfico.
Surveillance, Discipline and Care
Authors: Stadler Jonathan
Published: November 2021

Concerns about medical non-compliance have generated interest in the potential of remote, digital reminder and surveillance technologies. Amidst a devastating HIV/AIDS epidemic and outbreaks of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), compliance technologies are touted by developers and medical researchers as a solution to the ‘problem of non-compliance’. The appeal lies in the prospect of fashioning disciplined bodies, but at the cost of sacrificing the intimacy of care for technical expediency. Despite the growing popularity in global medicine to account for disease in terms of the ‘social determinants of health’, digital medical technologies reproduce discourses of health as an individual responsibility. I conducted research in a TB clinic in South Africa that experimented with an electronic reminder and monitoring device that sought to improve compliance to a new regimen of drugs for TB prevention. I found that patients embraced the apparatus through local framings of TB, and deployed it in their everyday struggles for care.

Published: November 2021

The present research investigates the struggle of female entities throughout their lives in a maledominated society, either acting in congruity or incongruity with the norms and set patterns of the society in order to get societal acceptance or to assert their sovereign individual-selves. The American society that is full of discrimination victimizes the race of Blacks in general and Black women in particular. As a result, the oppressed and subjugated woman has suffered as the 'Other' in American society during and after the era of slavery. The present research has delineated the existential conflicts of the Black female and the submissive or assertive behaviors they adopt to survive as free individuals. It is a qualitative research of Toni Morrison’s novel that has been critically analyzed. The novel, A Sula has been analyzed by using the lens of the Feminist Conceptual Framework, and feminine existential issues have been discussed under the umbrella of Feminist Existentialism. The present study is expected to be a significant one because it highlights different situations of the individuals in which they can redirect their destiny by actively participating as 'subjects' or passively submitting as 'Objects'.

Authors: Gohar Shaista , Summayya  , Seemab Bushra
Published: November 2021

This paper explores the politics of persuasion with special reference to Imran Khan's venture into politics. Influenced and inspired by Aristotle, he effectively used various methods of persuasion, including ethos, pathos and logos, to convince the audience to come out in large numbers and support his cause. Imran Khan was in a better position to act effectively in accordance with the features annunciated by Aristotle. This strategy worked effectively because, during the sit-in, Khan was not only able to keep his audience actively engaged and involved, he also did not let their energies exhaust. This is evident from the fact that a number of participants never came down; instead, it kept going up for continuous 126 days. Moreover, Imran Khan broadened his vote bank to such an extent that he was able to form government in the center and other two provinces in the 2018 elections. Data was collected through secondary sources from books, research articles and newspaper writings. Findings suggest that Imran khan effectively used the strategy of persuasion to change the political opinion of the masses and won the elections in the end.

Authors: Arshad Mahnoor , Muhammad Yaar , Qureshi Naima
Published: November 2021

Parent-teacher meetings (PTM) play an integral role in a child's education. The importance of PTM is even more critical for Early childhood Education (ECE). ECE is not a novice concept in Pakistan; however, parents have only realized now that learning during early childhood goes beyond the walls of the classrooms and can only realize its full potential if parents are actively participating in their children's education. Therefore, PTM is the time when parents and teachers can collaborate to work for the education of the children. The current study explores the prospective teachers' perceptions of PTMs and their influence on ECE students' performance. The data were gathered from seven participants through an open-ended, semi-structured interview guide. The analysis concluded that prospective teachers had a good understanding of PTMs processes and generally had a positive attitude toward them. Prospective teachers also believed that PTMs positively influence students' academic performance.
High-flow bypass using saphenous vein grafts with trapping of ruptured blood blister-like aneurysms of the internal carotid artery: patient series
Authors: Ishiguro Taichi , Yamaguchi Koji , Ishikawa Tatsuya , Ottomo Daiki , Funatsu Takayuki , Matsuoka Go , Omura Yoshihiro , Kawamata Takakazu
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Trapping an aneurysm after the establishment of an extracranial to intracranial high-flow bypass is considered the optimal surgical strategy for ruptured blood blister–like aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). For high-flow bypass surgeries, a radial artery graft is generally preferred over a saphenous vein graft (SVG). However, SVGs can be advantageous in acute-phase surgeries because of their greater length, easy manipulability, ability to act as high-flow conduits, and reduced risk of vasospasms. In this study, the authors presented five cases of ruptured BBAs treated with high-flow bypass using an SVG followed by BBA trapping, and they reported on surgical outcomes and operative nuances that may help avoid potential pitfalls.

OBSERVATIONS

After the surgeries, there were no ischemic or hemorrhagic complications, including symptomatic vasospasms. In three of the five cases, postoperative modified Rankin scale scores were between 0 and 2 at the 3-month follow-up. In one case, the SVG spontaneously occluded after surgery while the protective superficial temporal artery (STA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass became dominant, and the patient experienced no ischemic symptoms.

LESSONS

High-flow bypass using an SVG with a protective STA-MCA bypass followed by BBA trapping is a safe and effective treatment strategy.

Public records laws across the United States operate under the presumption that citizens should have access to government records, but obtaining this information is not always a simple undertaking. Although state public records laws vary, only a few establish a requirement that government entities acknowledge the existence of a request. And while some state laws mandate a time limit within which entities are supposed to produce records or issue a denial, those limits vary considerably from the specific three business days to the vague requirement of promptness. We analyzed these requirements in the 50 states and recommend policy changes that would hold government entities accountable to requestors and create a more level playing field for citizens seeking public records that should presumptively be open.
Eliminating a Barrier to Access: Waiving or Reducing Fees for Public Records in Florida
Authors: Hamrick Virginia
Published: November 2021

Florida, the Sunshine State, is one of the few states that includes a right of access to public records in its constitution. While Florida guarantees a right of access to every person, special service charges and high costs for public records restrict access to only requestors with the financial resources to pay for requests. Some agencies assert that waiving fees for requests that have a public interest would be significantly costly. This article builds on research showing that a fee waiver for requests made in the public interest would have minimal effect on Florida municipalities. This article analyzes agency public records logs to assess how a fee waiver for requests made for noncommercial purposes and in the public interest would affect state agencies. This article finds that only 14% of requests reviewed would be entitled to a fee waiver.

Case presentation: We report a 32 years old female with multiple hard palpable masses in the left breast with rapid growth in 6 months. She was mentally retarded with lower limb varicose veins associated with mucocutaneous lesions on the face. She underwent ultrasound examination of the breast, thyroid and lower extremity veins. Core needle biopsy and fine needle aspiration from left breast lesions and right thyroid nodules showed MC and follicular lesion with hurtle cell change, respectively. Suspected metastasis in the left rib and calvarium in the subsequent bone scan survey and brain magnetic resonance imaging was reported. She underwent radical mastectomy and right hemi-thyroidectomy.
Conclusion: Pure mucinous carcinoma with micropapillary pattern (MUMPC) is a new histology variant of Pure Mucinous Carcinoma (PMC) that shows favorable prognosis with less aggression and occurs in older patients. However, PMC in our patient occurred at a young age with greater aggression.
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans and Adjuvant Radiotherapy: A Case Report with Uncertain Surgical Margins in The Breast
Authors: Arslan Alaettin , Karagoz Eren Saliha , Ozcan Serdal Sadet , Akay Ebru , Ozdemir Mustafa
Published: November 2021

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive superficial soft tissue tumor that can occur in many parts of the body. Surgical resection with a wide margin of safety is the main treatment modality of this rare tumor of the breast. According to the postoperative pathology report, the patient can be followed up or adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) can be added. 
Case presentation: A 22-year-old woman presented with a mass filling the lower inner quadrant of her right breast. Tru-cut biopsy revealed a mesenchymal tumor, but excision was recommended for definitive diagnosis. A right breast quadrantectomy was performed. The result came as DFSP. Tumor diameter was 10x9x6.5 cm and the tumor was positive in most of the surgical margins. The patient underwent re-resection and a residual tumor with a diameter of 0.2 cm was detected at a distance of 3.3 cm from the surgical margin. Although the surgical margins were negative, the distance of the posterior surgical margin, in particular, could not be assured. Because of the uncertainty of surgical margins, 60 Gy RT was planned.
Conclusion: The localization of DFSP in the breast is extremely rare and surgery is the primary treatment. RT should be added as an adjuvant when safe surgical margins cannot be obtained.

Published: November 2021

The degradation of waste plastics in the environment is such an essential issue for Earth protection. This study indicated the importance of using waste bottles to produce recycled depolymerization Polyethylene Terephthalate (DPET). The bubble column reactor technique and its effect in the depolymerization process have been investigated. The DPET with Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been used to fabricate the hybrid polymer to improve the mechanical properties. Thus, different percentages (1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 %) of (DPET) are used to surmise its repercussions on the mechanical properties of the polymer. These ramifications were studied through a sequence of research laboratory tests, including tensile strength, Charpy impact, and shore-D hardness, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The results show a development interest, especially for impact strength and surface hardness, where both tests show compatible results, especially at (10%) of DPET. At the same time, maximum results of tensile strength are at (3%). FTIR analysis shows a chemical reaction between DPET and PMMA, which significantly improves the characteristics and makes it a wide range of available applications.
