A apendicite aguda é uma condição inflamatória comum do apêndice vermiforme, frequentemente necessitando de intervenção cirúrgica. Caracteriza-se pela inflamação e, possivelmente, pela necrose do apêndice, devido a obstrução de seu lúmen por fecalitos, corpos estranhos ou hiperplasia linfóide. A patogênese envolve a obstrução, que aumenta a pressão intraluminal e compromete o fluxo sanguíneo, levando a isquemia e inflamação. A proliferação bacteriana exacerba o processo inflamatório, podendo resultar em complicações graves como perfuração e peritonite se não tratada precocemente. O diagnóstico de apendicite aguda combina avaliação clínica, exames laboratoriais e de imagem. A dor abdominal localizada na fossa ilíaca direita, acompanhada por sintomas como náuseas, vômitos e febre, é característica da doença. A ultrassonografia é frequentemente usada como exame inicial devido à sua segurança, especialmente em crianças e gestantes, enquanto a tomografia computadorizada (TC) é a ferramenta de imagem preferida em adultos devido à sua alta sensibilidade e especificidade. A ressonância magnética está emergindo como uma opção adicional, particularmente em pacientes que não podem ser expostos à radiação. O tratamento da apendicite aguda pode ser cirúrgico ou conservador. A apendicectomia, realizada por via laparoscópica ou aberta, é o tratamento padrão, oferecendo alívio rápido e redução das complicações. No entanto, abordagens não-operatórias com antibióticos têm mostrado eficácia em casos não complicados, embora sua durabilidade e taxa de recidiva ainda sejam tópicos de debate. O manejo bem-sucedido requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar, com monitoramento pós-operatório para detectar complicações e otimizar a recuperação. O avanço contínuo na prática clínica e na pesquisa promete melhorar ainda mais a gestão da apendicite aguda, aumentando a eficácia do tratamento e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Authors: Rosmawanty Fauziah Rizqyana Dien , Abdulrahman Tryanti R.
Published: August 2024

This study is aimed at examining how EFL students in Indonesia utilized photovoice in writinganalytical exposition text and exploring their experience as well as perception in learning to write. Four (4) students of senior high school in Indonesia who are taken randomly participated in this qualitative study. The data were gathered from students’ writing of analytical text along with the picture/photograph and interview. Students’ photographs and analytical text were analyzed using photovoice analysis procedures. It consisted of selecting, contextualizing, and codifying phases. Results found three main themes: the main idea, generic structure, and language features. According to the results, photovoice is not only effective for students but als makes them feel interested and motivated in learning writing. In addition, photovoice allows students to express their creativity through the lens of a camera. Photovoice has incredibly fostered students’ learning in writing. They all have positive attitudes toward photovoice participatory learning. Thus, it can be a pedagogical tool to teach writing in an EFL setting. Although this study yielded positive outcomes in writing skills, this can not overgeneralize the outcomes. Therefore, future studies on how students write other writing genres in EFL classrooms need to be conducted.
Inconsistencies and Adjustments in Language Policy: Evidence from the Linguistic Landscape
Authors: Selim Ben-Said
Published: August 2024

Taking effect immediately following Tunisia’s independence, Arabization has achieved mixed results with Arabic institutionally empowered but still competing with French. In fact, when examining the linguistic landscape, this monolingual policy is flouted both in terms of the bilingual Arabic-French Street signage but also challenged by people’s preferences. This paper examines inconsistencies between Arabic as the ‘language of the state’ (government-decreed), and the omnipresence of other ‘languages in the state’ (observed in representation and practice) in Tunisia. Street signage artefacts and attitudinal data also illustrate how language policies are responded to and experienced by Tunisians. Data consists of different types of private inscriptions and public signs, governmental decrees, as well as attitudinal surveys and interviews. The juxtaposition of urban signs with the official policy on multilingualism provides an illustrative account of the complexities of the linguistic situation in Tunisia, which blends top-down advocacies of Arabization, ambivalent attitudes to Arabic-French Bilingualism, as well as a growing interest in English as the emergent language of globalization.
Memory and Memories: An Interdisciplinary Approach
Authors: Călinescu Amalia
Published: August 2024

Only humans seem to have the ability to project themselves into their past or future. This mental phenomenon, called autonoetic consciousness, proves the interrelation of memory, imagination, emotion, intelligence and consciousness as a way of creating self-images. The current paper constitutes an integrative study on memory from a theoretical perspective. The first part presents the most known neuroscientific viewpoints on the memory process, along with the pathological case of patient HM, who lost his memory following the removal of his hippocampus. The second part provides a humanistic perspective on recollection to demonstrate its compatibility with the neurological processes of storing information and forming memories. The final part conveys the phenomenon of recollection from the perspective of identity crisis in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels, as a case study in memory literature. According to memory theories to date, identity cannot exist outside the process of recording and recalling past experiences. Despite the fallible nature of recollection, human beings return to their past in order to give a healthy meaning to their present.
Inclusive Higher Education in India in the Age of Neo-Liberalism
Authors: Behera Manas
Published: August 2024

Education is now considered a pre-condition in all societies, particularly in the developing societies, for inclusive development and to fight different inequalities. This can only be possible if access to higher education is based on equity, and a public-funded education system can ensure this. The paper is based on qualitative research and analyses the changes in the higher education system in India from a largely public funded education system towards a commercial, profit-driven system. The policy shifts are analyzed from comparative and historical perspectives. The neo-liberal approach to education facilitates commercialization,leading to the exclusion of the poor from the higher education system and defeating the constitutional goals of building an inclusive democratic society. The functioning of democracy is also dependent on education as it creates citizens and empowers the marginalized to enter into the democratic system, thus legitimizing the state. The paper concludes that the neo-liberal paradigm of development is contradictory to inclusive education and inclusive development as it commoditizes education.
The Barzanji Tradition in The Context of Cultural Studies: Exploring The Debate Between Sunnah and Bid'ah
Authors: Jubaidi Didi , Khoirunnisa Khoirunnisa
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the role of the famous Islamic literary work Barzanji in the context of cultural studies about concepts such as tradition, sunnah, and heresy in Islam. The Barzanji is a work that recounts the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with awe and affection and has become an integral part of religious traditions in many Muslim-majority countries. This article also aims to examine the importance of understanding tradition and sunnah in diverse cultural contexts, as well as addressing the potential issue of heresy in religious practices related to the use of Barzanji. This research uses a qualitative method with a cultural studies approach. The cultural studies approach was chosen because this research wants to examine the complex interaction between Barzanji and Muslim society.  Overall, this study concludes that Barzanji plays an important role in upholding and strengthening religious identity in certain Muslim communities, especially through its recitation in religious events. That is the context of religious practice, change or innovation (bid'ah) is acceptable if it conforms to the basic principles of the Sunnah. That is, there are situations where bid'ah can be used to enhance or perfect the understanding and practice of the Sunnah. In this perspective, the concepts of sunnah and bid'ah do not have to be seen separately but can complement each other in the context of religious interpretation and practice.
Parents as Teachers in Modular Distance Learning: Relationship of Parenting Style and The English Academic Performance
Authors: Soriano Joy Lynne , Sumayo Gideon
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the pupils’ parenting style and their English academic performance during modular distance learning in select two schools in Alamada, Philippines. More so, the study even explored the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and English academic performance and the relationship between pupils’ parenting style and English academic performance. The researchers chose one hundred twelve Grade VI pupils through stratified random sampling with proportionate allocation. An expert-validated survey questionnaire was used to identify the parenting styles utilized by the respondents, while their English-accumulated grades served as the basis of their academic performance. Based on the result, the majority of them are 10-12 years old, male, Ilonggos, and have parents with high school education. It further revealed that the parenting style experienced by the respondents is authoritative. More so, the English academic performance of the respondents was satisfactory. It also revealed that sex, age, parents’ educational attainment, and the English academic performance of the respondents have a significantly weak relationship. More importantly, the study revealed a significant yet weak relationship between the respondents’ parents’ authoritative and neglectful parenting style and the respondents' academic performance in English. The findings suggest that incorporating authoritative parenting during modular distance learning positively influences the English academic performance of the pupils, emphasizing the importance of parental involvement in shaping educational outcomes in this mode of learning. It is then recommended that parents as teachers should be careful about their parenting style since this ultimately affects their pupils’ academic performance.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Recent data are inconclusive regarding the risk of arrhythmias among young cannabis users. Furthermore, many young adults use both cannabis and tobacco, which could add a residual confounding effect on outcomes. So, we studied young men who have cannabis use disorder (CUD) excluding tobacco use disorder (TUD) to understand their independent association with atrial fibrillation (AF) and related outcomes.

AIM

To study the association of CUD with AF and related outcomes.

METHODS

We used weighted discharge records from National Inpatient Sample (2019) to assess the baseline characteristics and mortality rates for AF-related hospitalizations in young (18-44 years) men in 1:1 propensity-matched CUD + vs CUD- cohorts without TUD.

RESULTS

Propensity matched CUD + and CUD- cohorts consisted of 108495 young men in each arm. Our analysis showed an increased incidence of AF in black population with CUD. In addition, the CUD + cohort had lower rates of hyperlipidemia (6.4% vs 6.9%), hypertension (5.3% vs 6.3%), obesity (9.1% vs 10.9%), alcohol abuse (15.5% vs 16.9%), but had higher rates of anxiety (24.3% vs 18.4%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (9.8% vs 9.4%) compared to CUD-cohort. After adjustment with covariates including other substance abuse, a non-significant association was found between CUD + cohort and AF related hospitalizations (odd ratio: 1.27, 95% confidence interval: 0.91-1.78, P = 0.15).

CONCLUSION

Among hospitalized young men, the CUD + cohort had a higher prevalence of anxiety and COPD, and slightly higher proportion of black patients. Although there were higher odds of AF hospitalizations in CUD + cohort without TUD, the association was statistically non-significant. The subgroup analysis showed higher rates of AF in black patients. Large-scale prospective studies are required to evaluate long-term effects of CUD on AF risk and prognosis without TUD and concomitant substance abuse.
Anal carcinoma - exploring the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment
Authors: English Kevan J
Published: August 2024

Anal carcinoma is a relatively rare tumor that accounts for approximately 2% of gastrointestinal malignancies and less than 7% of anorectal cancers. Most anal tumors originate between the anorectal junction and the anal verge. Risk factors for the disease include human papillomavirus infection, human immunodeficiency virus, tobacco use, immunosuppression, female sex, and older age. The pathogenesis of anal carcinoma is believed to be linked to human papillomavirus-related inflammation, leading to dysplasia and progression to cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of anal tumor, with an annual incidence of approximately 1 to 2 per 100000 persons. Treatment regarding anal cancer has emerged over time. However, chemoradiation therapy remains the mainstay approach for early localized disease. Patients with metastatic disease are treated with systemic therapy, and salvage surgery is reserved for disease recurrence following chemoradiation. This article aims to provide background information on the epidemiology, risk factors, pathology, diagnosis, and current trends in the management of anal cancer. Future directions are briefly discussed.

Volatility in the Equity Stock Market in India from 2019 to 2024: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Agarwal Shekhar
Published: August 2024

This research investigates the volatility and fluctuations in the Indian equity stock market from 2019 to 2024, a period characterized by unprecedented global and domestic challenges. The Indian stock market, like many emerging markets, experienced heightened volatility due to a confluence of events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, economic reforms, and shifts in global financial conditions. The study employs advanced econometric models, including GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) and event study analyses, to capture the time-varying nature of market volatility and to identify the key factors driving these fluctuations. Our findings reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic triggered the most significant spikes in volatility, particularly during the early months of 2020, as uncertainty regarding the pandemic's impact on the economy led to sharp market corrections and investor panic. Additionally, the study highlights the influence of macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, inflation, and monetary policy changes on market behavior. The paper also explores the role of investor sentiment and market liquidity in exacerbating volatility during crisis periods. The results provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the Indian equity market, offering implications for investors seeking to manage risk and for policymakers aiming to enhance market stability. The study underscores the need for robust risk management strategies and proactive regulatory measures to mitigate the adverse effects of such volatility, especially in an increasingly interconnected global financial environment. Keywords: Equity Stock Market, Volatility, India, COVID-19, Economic Reforms, 2019-2024

The use of digital technologies such as applications and websites can be seen at almost every level of education today. However, the main problem in pursuing the goal of teaching English is the imbalance between the material being taught and the time to teach the material. In the English language, there are certain skills that need to be mastered, particularly in the area of writing.   One important aspect of writing skills is the ability to compose report texts, which is deemed essential for students. The primary objective of this article is to explore how students perceive the use of Padlet as a tool to enhance their report writing skills. The research methodology employed for this study is descriptive qualitative in nature. The qualitative information gathered from a survey conducted among students regarding their opinions on using Padlet for improving writing skills was analyzed. Questionnaires and interview guidelines served as the research tools. The questionnaire results were analysed in terms of percentages and then combined with insights from the interviews to create narrative summaries. The participants exhibited positive attitudes towards utilizing Padlet for writing report texts. Additionally, they highlighted the opportunities that Padlet offers for students to enhance their English skills, particularly in collaborative writing activities.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara gaya kepemimpinan, motivasi karyawan, dan kinerja organisasi dalam berbagai konteks budaya dan industri. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi literatur, penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas kepemimpinan transformasional dan transaksional terhadap motivasi intrinsik karyawan dan hasil kinerja organisasi. Kepemimpinan transformasional, yang berfokus pada inspirasi dan perhatian individual, terbukti meningkatkan motivasi intrinsik, keterlibatan, dan inovasi karyawan. Sebaliknya, kepemimpinan transaksional, yang menekankan imbalan dan hukuman, lebih efektif dalam konteks dengan tugas-tugas terstruktur dan kinerja yang dapat diukur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas gaya kepemimpinan dipengaruhi oleh konteks budaya dan industri. Dalam budaya kolektivis dan industri yang membutuhkan kreativitas, kepemimpinan transformasional lebih efektif, sementara dalam budaya individualis dan industri yang berorientasi pada hasil, kepemimpinan transaksional lebih sesuai. Implikasi penelitian ini menunjukkan perlunya strategi kepemimpinan yang adaptif untuk mengoptimalkan kinerja organisasi dalam berbagai konteks. Secara teoretis, temuan ini memperluas pemahaman tentang bagaimana konteks budaya dan industri mempengaruhi efektivitas kepemimpinan, dan menyarankan perlunya penelitian lebih lanjut dengan pendekatan empiris dan longitudinal untuk pemahaman yang lebih mendalam.

The stress-strain state of a polymer reinforced pipeline of small diameter, which is part of a capillary system for supplying chemical reagents to oil wells, is studied in the work. The pipeline is loaded with internal pressure and secured with one end in a rigid seal. To solve the equations of the mathematical model, the finite element method is applied in the COMSOL Multiphysics numerical modeling environment. On the basis of numerical experiments, equivalent stresses in the polymer and steel wire of the braid are determined. The region of maximum equivalent stresses, which is located at a distance of 15 mm from the seal, has been identified. The limit values of the internal pressure of 23 MPa have been determined, the excess of which leads to an increase in plastic deformation in the polymer and depressurization of the pipeline. Keywords: polymer reinforced pipeline; pressure; depressurization; equivalent stresses; deformation; model.

Development must be carried out in every nation. Change from bad to better is development. There is a close relationship between development and the surrounding environment. Development affects the environment and is influenced by the environment. Development will be successful if the environment is maintained, such as not littering, not cutting down trees, planting trees, and sorting waste. Environmental sustainability can only be achieved through environmental protection. As development actors, the environment that is not maintained and cared for will be damaged and can result in various disasters such as floods, erosion, and other threats to human life. Likewise, when the rainy season begins in Bandar Lampung City, floods occur everywhere. This is because there are still many people who do not know how important it is to protect the environment. One example is throwing garbage in the river so that it clogs the flow of the river and garbage is thrown away in the wrong place. With this community service, it is hoped that the community will be more aware of the need to protect the environment by not littering, not cutting down trees, and sorting waste
