The diversity of fish is crucial for aquatic resources of Bangladesh to be sustainable in the future. Fish biodiversity is threatened by stresses brought on by overfishing, climate change, habitat loss, eutrophication, and pollution. In order to make recommendations for effective management of a fish marketing system in Cox's Bazar, this research was created to look at the availability of fish species, marketing channels, value chain analyses, and constraints connected with three fish marketplaces. Primary data were collected by using questionnaire interviews, Participatory Rural Appraisals (PRA) and cross-check interviews with key informants from Kolatoli, Baharchara, Boro Bazar fish markets for almost two months from the midway of September 2021 to November 2021. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel Software. A total number of 96 fish and shellfish species were recorded during the study period in the three fish markets of Cox’s Bazar. Fish market was dominated by the Hilsa fishes (22%) followed by pomfret (14%), seabass (11%), Bombay Duck (9%), Ribbon Fish (8%), Croaker (8%), Tuna (7%) and other species. Hilsa was dominated in the studied market because all of the markets are located in the Southern coastal belt. Among freshwater fishes, species such as Kajuli, Bheda, Gulsha tengra, Tara baim, Shal baim, Tit punti, Rani, Lomba chanda were rare and Gura tengra, Guchi baim, Kakila, Darkina, Dhela, Gutum were very rare in the market due to inadequate supply. Price of Golda chingri (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) (600-1200 tk/kg) and large size Hilsha (800-1200) were always high in all of the three markets. In the distribution channel of the fish trade, three tiers of market or marketing systems were observed: primary, secondary and final consuming markets. The landing area's main attraction was the primary market. Following the primary and secondary markets, the consumer market had a substantially larger marketing margin and revenue. Inadequate ice facilities as well as lack of preservation facilities were highlighted as the key problem at three fish markets in Cox's Bazar during the current study.

The determination of an optimal treatment plan for an individual patient with rectal cancer is a complex process. In addition to decisions relating to the intent of rectal cancer surgery (ie, curative or palliative), consideration must also be given to the likely functional results of treatment, including the probability of maintaining or restoring normal bowel function/anal continence and preserving genitourinary functions. Particularly for patients with distal rectal cancer, finding a balance between curative-intent therapy while having minimal impact on quality of life can be challenging. Furthermore, the risk of pelvic recurrence is higher in patients with rectal cancer compared with those with colon cancer, and locally recurrent rectal cancer is associated with a poor prognosis. Careful patient selection and the use of sequenced multimodality therapy following a multidisciplinary approach is recommended. These NCCN Guidelines Insights detail recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Rectal Cancer, including the addition of endoscopic submucosal dissection as an option for early-stage rectal cancer, updates to the total neoadjuvant therapy approach based on the results of recent clinical trials, and the addition of a “watch-and-wait” nonoperative management approach for clinical complete responders to neoadjuvant therapy.

Resenha do livro Por que o divã?: perspectivas de escuta e a poética da psicanálise, de Lucas Krüger. Editoras: Blucher e Artes e Ecos, 2023, 351 p.
Começo esta resenha com o trecho de uma poesia retirada do livro de Lucas Krüger, porque foi assim que essa leitura se assentou em mim: metade poesia, metade teoria, tal como na vivência da escuta que ofertamos àqueles que chegam até nós. Para ser mais precisa, as palavras da epígrafe, escritas pela polonesa Wislawa Szymborska, me levaram às primeiras experiências de supervisão, na qual ansiava por relatar os detalhes de cada sessão em uma tarefa que sempre acabava com um tanto de frustração, pois assim que as palavras chegavam ao papel, já distorciam o ocorrido entre quatro paredes. Foi também por essa via que me ative à leitura dessa densa produção acerca do divã, uma vez que, se é pelo caminho da análise pessoal que chegamos primeiro até ele, é por meio dos seminários teóricos e da prática clínica que as inquietações vão ganhando corpo e voz.

Does Discharge Disposition or Length of Stay for Patients Undergoing Staged Bilateral Total Joint Arthroplasty Change Between First and Second Procedures?
Authors: Dupont Marcel M , deMeireles Alirio J , Gossett Timothy D , Cooper H John
Published: August 2024

Introduction

This study investigates whether ambulatory surgery rates, discharge disposition, or hospital length of stay (LOS) differ between the first and second surgeries for staged bilateral total joint arthroplasty (TJA). We hypothesize that patients have higher rates of ambulatory surgery and shorter LOS for the second surgery.

Methods

Data were retrospectively collected from staged bilateral total knee (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients within a 12-month period. Ambulatory surgery rates, discharge to home, and LOS after first (LOS_1) vs. second surgery (LOS_2) were compared. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of shorter LOS.

Results

Rates of ambulatory surgery were significantly higher after second surgery for TKA (28.7% vs. 20.2%, p<0.001) but not for THA (24.8% vs. 23.0%, p=0.405). Likelihood of discharge to home was not significantly different between first and second surgeries for TKA (p=0.225) or THA (p=0.248). LOS_2 was significantly shorter than LOS_1 for TKA (1.4 vs 1.6 days, p=0.005) but not for THA (1.4 vs 1.4 days, p=0.723). Undergoing TKA (OR=1.846, 95% CI=[1.142, 2.984]), former smoking (OR=1.686, 95% CI=[1.068, 2.660]), and younger age (OR=0.968, 95% CI=[0.939, 0.997]) were associated with LOS_2<LOS_1.

Conclusions

Our results show higher rates of ambulatory surgery and shorter LOS after second surgery vs. first for staged bilateral TKA but not THA. Factors associated with LOS_2<LOS_1 include undergoing TKA, former smoking, and younger age.

Salah satu masalah yang penulis angkat dalam tulisan ini adalah pembuangan sampah ke laut oleh para nelayan dan keluarganya di jemaat GMIT Lahai-Roi Namosain Kupang. Faktor yang mempengaruhi para nelayan dan keluarganya dalam membuang sampah ke laut adalah malas, ingin cepat, kebiasaan, tempat sampah jauh, dan tidak adanya kesadaran. Selain itu adanya kesenjangan antara pemahaman mereka tentang hubungan mereka, laut dan Allah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa jemaat belum menghidupi nilai-nilai baik yang diyakini dalam kehidupannya sehingga menyebabkan adanya krisis spiritualitas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis penyebab para nelayan di Jemaat GMIT Lahai Roi yang melakukan pembuangan sampah ke laut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dipakai adalah teknik wawancara dan observasi serta mengunakan penelitian kepustakaan. Perspektif baru yang penulis tawarkan adalah manusia sebagai makhluk spiritual yang diciptakan menurut gambar dan rupa Allah seharusnya memiliki sifat dan karakter Allah yakni memiliki cinta kasih, belas kasihan, memelihara, melestarikan, menjaga, melindungi ciptaan lain khususnya laut.
Review Film: Jesus of Montreal
Authors: Tunliu Adriana
Published: August 2024

Although the movie “Jesus of Montreal” came out in the 1990s, I was just able to watch it earlier this year. Even if it is about a theatre community in the urban city of Montreal and not necessarily a Christian movie, there are parallels to the movements of Jesus in the Gospels. The Passion Play at St. Joseph’s Oratory produced by talented Daniel Coulombe and his group is a success; but, for all concerns, they take the story of Jesus in a way that causes controversy. The play does something unconventional, and subversive. However, this is exactly Jesus’ mission in the context of both the Roman conquest and imperial rule of Palestine and how the Gospel sources portray him in resistance to the imperial. This paper argues that Jesus of Montreal challenges the institutional/hegemonic of the church and its elitism; also, the culture of consumerism/capitalism in the city of Montreal.

Published: August 2024

In recent years, the promulgation and implementation of the Double Reduction Policy have imposed many restrictions on the development of the education and training industry. This has led to layoffs, closures, and a hidden slowdown in industry growth. Studies indicate that the policy has resulted in a decrease in share prices of off-campus education and training institutions, leading to significant talent loss. However, there has been an expansion in the types of business within the industry. This study aims to examine the effects of share prices, business types, and talent changes on the development of out-of-school education and training institutions after the implementation of the Double Reduction Policy. A sample of 201 managers was recruited using convenient sampling through online surveys distributed on the Questionnaire Star platform. The data was analyzed using SPSS software, including Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analyses. The results show that share price and talent change have a significant negative impact on the development of out-of-school education and training institutions, while business types have a significant positive impact. To improve their quality, value, and competitiveness, education and training institutions should focus on increasing share prices and expanding future business development.

Authors: Rostami Mehdi , Mehdiabadi Parichehr
Published: August 2024

The objective of this study is to qualitatively examine the intricate relationships between childhood trauma, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and somatic symptoms. This qualitative study involved 32 participants diagnosed with DID and a history of childhood trauma. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which were designed to elicit detailed narratives about participants' experiences. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo software to identify key themes and patterns within the data. The study continued data collection until theoretical saturation was achieved, ensuring a robust and comprehensive understanding of the phenomena under investigation. The analysis revealed several key themes related to the impact of childhood trauma on emotional, cognitive, behavioral, social, and physical health. Participants reported significant emotional distress, maladaptive behaviors, cognitive disruptions, and social challenges. The manifestation of DID included identity alteration, triggers and switches, coping mechanisms, interpersonal difficulties, emotional regulation issues, and impaired daily functioning. Additionally, participants experienced a range of somatic symptoms, including chronic pain, gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular problems, neurological symptoms, immune system impacts, sleep disturbances, and stress-related symptoms. These findings align with existing literature on the neurobiological and psychological effects of childhood trauma and dissociation. The study underscores the profound and multifaceted impact of childhood trauma on individuals with DID, highlighting the need for holistic, integrative, and culturally sensitive approaches to treatment. By addressing both psychological and physical dimensions of dissociative disorders, clinicians can develop more effective therapeutic strategies. Future research should focus on expanding the sample size, incorporating longitudinal and quantitative analyses, and exploring innovative therapeutic interventions to further enhance clinical outcomes.

Authors: Ying Jingjing , Lai Wang
Published: August 2024

The objective of this study was to explore the psychosomatic responses and coping mechanisms of individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) who exhibit high levels of conscientiousness. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews with 23 participants diagnosed with GAD and high conscientiousness. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling from local mental health clinics, online support groups, and community advertisements. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software, following the principles of grounded theory to identify themes and patterns. Theoretical saturation was achieved when no new themes emerged from the data, ensuring comprehensive analysis. The analysis revealed four main themes: physical manifestations of anxiety, psychological coping mechanisms, impact on daily functioning, and perception and understanding of anxiety. Physical symptoms included muscle tension, gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular symptoms, respiratory problems, and sleep disturbances. Psychological coping mechanisms encompassed perfectionism, avoidance behaviors, cognitive strategies, seeking reassurance, time management, emotional regulation, and problem-solving approaches. The impact on daily functioning was significant, affecting work performance, social relationships, academic achievement, physical health, and personal hobbies. Participants’ perceptions highlighted the importance of awareness, attribution of causes, attitudes towards treatment, stigma, and the influence of conscientiousness on their anxiety. The findings underscore the complex interplay between conscientiousness and anxiety in individuals with GAD. High conscientiousness can both mitigate and exacerbate anxiety symptoms, influencing the effectiveness of coping mechanisms. Personalized treatment approaches that consider individual personality traits, such as mindfulness-based interventions and resilience training, may enhance therapeutic outcomes. This study highlights the need for tailored interventions to address the unique challenges faced by conscientious individuals with GAD.

Published: August 2024

Background: Nanoparticles have attracted significant attention from researchers due to their intriguing properties, such as size and shape-dependent optical, antimicrobial, and electrical characteristics. Several different preparation techniques have been used to synthesize nanoparticles, including laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods, microwave processing, and biological synthetic methods. Objective: As part of our research, we conducted experiments involving the extraction of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from eggshell powder and explored their potential biological applications. Methodology: The synthesis of silver nanoparticles from eggshell was analyzed using UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity and anticancer potential of the AgNPs were determined using MTT assay against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Results: The UV-visible analysis detected a peak at 480 nm, indicating the crystalline structure of the nanoparticles that were synthesized biologically. These nanoparticles have an average size of approximately 41.68 nm and exhibit a spherical shape. The synthesized silver nanoparticles exhibited strong antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant clinical bacterial isolates, including Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus hominis and Streptococcus mutans, and Gram-negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, which are commonly associated with nosocomial infections. Through the utilization of the disc diffusion approach. The activity seen can be ascribed to the distinctive biological and physicochemical characteristics of the AgNPs, which aid in the rupture of bacterial cell membranes. The MCF-7 cell line exhibited the highest decrease when exposed to a concentration of 400 µg/mL of AgNPs.

Aim The development of human dentition is influenced by a complex interplay of diverse factors spanning epigenetic, environmental, physical, chemical, biological, and genetic realms. Variations in the morphology and dimensions of upper lateral incisors have been documented, commonly resulting in a reduction in mesiodistal size, a phenomenon often referred to as "peg-shaped laterals". This study aimed to explore the prevalence of peg-shaped maxillary permanent lateral incisors while investigating potential correlations with gender and laterality.
Material and method The study comprised 1076 Turkish individuals, aged between 18 and 75, who sought treatment at the Istanbul University Restorative Dentistry Clinic. Prior to examination, participants provided voluntary consent by completing consent forms. To ensure precision and consistency, all examinations were conducted by a single clinician with a minimum of twenty years of clinical experience. Patient selection adhered to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Anamnestic data, encompassing age, gender, past dental history, general health status, and intraoral examination findings, were documented. Examinations focused on the anterior region, specifically between the maxillary canine teeth.
Results Peg-shaped incisors were noted in 7.2% of cases (n=77), with 54 cases being unilateral and 23 bilateral. Among the cases, 7.4% (n=52) were observed in females and 6.7% (n=25) in males. A total of 97 peg-shaped incisors were identified in both left and right maxillary lateral incisors.
Conclusion The research took place in Istanbul, Türkiye, a cosmopolitan metropolis. Expanding such investigations to various regions within Türkiye would yield a richer and more comprehensive dataset, enhancing the study's significance.

The background of the problem in this study is where forest and land burning, especially for the interests of palm oil plantations in Indonesia, is a disaster that can harm and endanger human life and the sustainability of the existing ecosystem, law enforcement is considered ineffective against corporations as perpetrators of forest and land burning crimes so that improvements need to be made. The Indonesian Criminal Code has not regulated sanctions against corporations that commit forest and land burning crimes, so that special laws relating to the environment can be applied. The problem in this study is how to enforce the law against perpetrators of forest and land burning crimes and how to be held criminally responsible for corporations that commit forest and land burning crimes. The theories used in this study are First, the theory of Criminal Responsibility and the second is the theory of Law Enforcement according to Lawrence M. Friedman. The results of this study are that the evidence to ensnare a Corporation as a suspect can use the theory of absolute liability, the theory of vicarious liability, the theory of identification. And law enforcement against corporations committing forest and land burning crimes in Indonesia is considered ineffective, this is due to the weakness of the law enforcement apparatus itself consisting of the Police, Prosecutors and Courts so that improvements are needed both in terms of quantity and quality

Adoption is a solution for several couples who have been married for a long time but have not been blessed with a child by God. Behind it all there is a problem, namely that many people do not know the procedures for adopting children, the distribution of inheritance to adopted children, or the position of adopted children's rights in the framework of Islamic inheritance law. There are many problems that occur in society because many people do not know the rights that adopted children have or how to file a legal claim so that the state recognizes them. So this makes it difficult for adopted children to know their position in the eyes of the law.

Aktivacija otvorenih celina, na način da im se dodeljuje određena namena ili identitet, ima povoljan efekat, kako na funkcionisanje i atraktivnost susedne arhitektonske strukture i njenog programa, tako i na oplemenjivanje celokupne urbanističke slike grada. Obostranim pozitivnim uticajem se dobija sinergija delovanja otvorenih i zatvorednih prostora i njihove programske strukture, ali i ostalih kvaliteta, gde se efekti proširuju i na socijalni, kulturni, perceptivni i doživljajni domen, uz prisutno nadograđivanje obe celine. Cilj rada je sagledavanje faktora koji utiču na formiranje određenih programa i ukazivanje na pozitivne efekte usklađivanja programa otvorenih i zatvorenih prostora, kroz promovisanje njihovog istovremenog promišljanja, planiranja i projektovanja, ali i kroz revitalizaciju postojećih prostora i njihovog postavljanja u skladni odnos.
