الإحرام من محاذاة الميقات بالطائرة "دراسة مقارنة"
Authors: لؤي حسن جابر الشامي  , د. عباس علي سلطاني  , د. محمد حسن حائري
Published: September 2024

The article deals with a topic that addresses the problem of the disagreement between the schools of jurisprudence regarding the issues that arise from entering ihram by aligning the miqat with an airplane. Which is considered one of the most important new and emerging issues in Hajj, as the research emphasized the clarification of some important introductions through which it is noted that most of those who fell into a state of confusion were as a result of not noticing these introductions. Then the research delved into a detailed explanation of the issue by presenting the opinions and sayings of the scholars of the schools of thought. Jurisprudence and its evidence with its jurisprudential analysis using the method of jurisprudential reasoning, and the research concluded with a statement of the correct opinion. This removes the state of confusion and illusion resulting from incorrect applications of the research topic.
On the basis of this, the subject of the research was to compare the opinions of the two parties on the issues that introduced ihram, such as aligning the miqat with the plane, and to come up with the correct final result after presenting the evidence of the two parties, discussing it, and analyzing it jurisprudentially.
The research contains three sections: the first section dealt with an explanation of some preliminary demands, the second section dealt with: the ruling on entering ihram from the miqat, and the last section dealt with the jurisprudential foundations of the issue of ihram from the line of the miqat on an airplane.
Thus, our research has corrected the path followed and guided specialists to the paths of guidance, and from God Almighty we derive help and guidance.

الأثر البلاغي لتعدد القراءات القرآنية

Published: September 2024

مثّلت النصّوص القرآنية الكريمة منبعاً للعلوم عامة بنحو العموم، ولعلم البلاغة بشكل خاص، لما كان القرآن الكريم قد أعجز العرب والعجم بنصوصه البلاغية، التي تحدى بها أهل زمانه وكل زمان، فكانت القراءات القرآنية المتعددة تمثل احدى الصور البلاغية الاعجازية، المتمثلة بالحذف والتبديل والتقديم والتأخير، فكان الحذف لبعض الكلمات عند بعض القرّاء، واثباتها عند البعض الآخر لم يسبب ارباك في النص، بل كان المعنى نفسه عند القراءتين، وهكذا تبديل الكلمات في القراءات المختلفة كان يمثل صورة اعجازية بلاغية، لما كانت قراءة بصورة مجملة، والمبدلة عنها صورة تفصيلية للمعنى عينه، وكذا التقديم في بعض المفردات وتأخيرها عند الآخرين رسم صورة بلاغية أخرى بسبب اظهار التخصيص، أو الأهمية، أو بيان التعظيم، أو من صور تقديم المحسوس على المعقول، ونحوها من الأسباب البلاغية الداعية الى التقديم.

Gravity affects magma-induced crustal deformation: comparing laccoliths on the Moon, Mars, and Earth
Authors: Poppe Sam , Cornillon Anne , Morand Alexandra , Harnett Claire
Published: September 2024

Dome-shaped, uplifted surface areas and associated fractures on Mars and the Moon are inferred to result from the shallow emplacement of magma intrusions. This inference originates from analogue observations at partially eroded or active volcanic systems on Earth. Computational models help estimating the geometry and emplacement depth of those inferred magma bodies. Models often do not consider that the gravitational acceleration is different on planetary bodies with different masses, however, and have not simulated large concentrations of magma-induced strain and dynamic fracturing of the host rocks. We used the two-dimensional Discrete Element Method (2D DEM) to simulate the inflation of a laccolith-shaped magma intrusion in particle-based assemblages of different mechanical strength, under gravitational acceleration of the Moon, Mars, and Earth. The 2D DEM model simulates the magma-induced displacements, principal stresses, and dynamic fracturing, and allows deriving shear strains in the crust. For weak rocks, the vertical surface displacement is nearly twice as high on the Moon, compared to Earth. For stronger rocks, the amount of magma-induced cracks on the Moon is half of the amount of cracks induced on Earth. Our 2D DEM simulations show, for the first time, that gravity specific to a rocky planetary body affects the pattern and amount of fracturing and surface displacement above inflating laccoliths. This calls for a careful reevaluation, and future modelling, of differences seen in the morphology of intrusive domes found on Earth, Mars and the Moon.
Challenges and Opportunities of Data Driven Advance Classification of Hard Rock TBMs
Authors: Erharter Georg , Unterlaß Paul , Radončić Nedim , Marcher Thomas , Rostami Jamal
Published: September 2024

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) have revolutionized tunneling industry and are currently the dominant method of tunneling in all ground types including soil and rock. Traditional approaches to TBM advance classification, however, rely heavily on subjective assessments by onsite personnel, which are often hampered by limited access to the excavation face and discontinuous observation intervals. This paper elaborates on the shift towards data-driven methodologies for TBM advance classification, which leverage continuously recorded TBM operational data to provide a more objective, transparent, and reproducible assessment of excavation conditions. We discuss the challenges associated with TBM data analysis, including the need for computational tools capable of disentangling complex influences such as rock mass conditions, TBM machinery, and operational logistics. To support the advancement of this field, we provide synthetic TBM datasets generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs), which can be utilized to circumvent issues related to data confidentiality and Python tools to facilitate adoption by practitioners. GAN based data sets used in this analysis have been developed based on the actual field measurements made on TBMs and hence are authentic and reliable for such applications. We also provide practical recommendations for implementing data-driven TBM advance classification, using the torque ratio as a reliable representative of machine penetration rate. This work underscores the potential of data-driven approaches to enhance TBM tunneling efficiency while addressing the technical challenges that accompany their implementation.
Multiple object handling: strategies for cumulative grasping and transport with a single hand
Authors: Reader Arran T , Gaile Laura , Mc Corry Emily E. Cheah , Mackie Kirsten
Published: September 2024

Humans can cumulatively grasp multiple objects and then transport them using a single hand (e.g., when clearing up tableware). This skill, which we refer to as ‘multiple object handling’, helps minimise the number of actions required to transport objects. However, it also presents unique challenges for the sensorimotor system, including the use of grips other than finger-thumb opposition (which is almost always used for grasping single objects). In the present work we explored the strategies used for multiple object handling, particularly focussing on object selection and grip choice. Participants were presented with pairs of objects, asked to grasp one of them and then, without placing that object down, grasp the second object and transport both to a designated location. We examined the order in which participants selected objects, as well as the grips used for grasping and holding them, enabling us to describe a typical approach to multiple object handling. When two objects are grasped cumulatively for transport, finger-thumb opposition is almost always used to grasp the first object, which is then frequently held using an atypical grip (e.g., finger-finger or finger-palm opposition). Finger-thumb opposition can then be used once again to grasp a subsequent object. Grasping objects that are smaller or with lower surface area first may facilitate this approach. This work provides insight into a technique commonly used for efficient object transport. Furthermore, it highlights how an extensive range of atypical grips can be used by humans, broadening understanding of our capacity for dextrous motor control.
How (and why) languages became more complex as we evolved more prosocial: the human self-domestication view
Authors: Benítez-Burraco Antonio
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to re-examine the problem of the emergence of present-day languages from the specific perspective of the self-domestication account of human evolution. According to this view, our species went through an evolutionary process that parallels the changes experienced by domesticated mammals. Relying on evidence of diverse kind (from paleogenetic to clinical), the paper argues that our self-domestication might have potentiated the cognitive and behavioural features of the human phenotype with an impact on language acquisition and use. Specifically, it might have facilitated the creation of the cultural niche that favors the complexification of languages via a cultural mechanism. The paper further proposes a model of language complexification in the past under the effects of human self-domestication, including the complexification of the structural aspects of language (grammar, prosody, and semantics) and the potentiation of its functional properties (pragmatics). The paper concludes with some suggestions for any future research aimed to test and improve this view.
Evaluating the Impact and Awareness of the Ayushman Bharat Scheme in Bihar
Authors: Kumar Avnish
Published: September 2024

The Ayushman Bharat Scheme, India's largest health insurance initiative, was launched in 2018 with the goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage as outlined in the National Health Policy 2017. This scheme comprises two components: the National Health Mission, which focuses on strengthening health services and promoting awareness in rural and urban areas, and the National Health Protection Mission, which provides free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakhs for 50 crore individuals from economically disadvantaged families. A survey conducted in four districts of Bihar—Bhagalpur, Banka, Munger, and Khagaria—revealed that rural areas have a higher registration rate (58%) compared to urban areas (37%). Social media (31%) and newspapers (21%) are the primary sources of information about the scheme, while gender participation is relatively balanced, with 44% women and 56% men registered. Despite these positive indicators, issues such as paperwork, Aadhaar card problems, and lack of information hindered some from registering. The scheme received an average rating of 3.83 out of 5, reflecting general satisfaction and strong trust (97%) among respondents, though no respondents had yet used the card. To improve the scheme’s reach and effectiveness, it is recommended to increase awareness through targeted social media and newspaper campaigns, simplify the registration process, expand information dissemination, address technical issues, and encourage active usage of the Ayushman Bharat card.

Published: September 2024

Mobile phone use has become a significant global issue due to the prevalence of smartphones. Various studies have delved into the connection between mobile phone usage and academic achievements, yet the findings have been inconclusive. Technology has undeniably simplified our lives, offering gadgets that streamline tasks, provide entertainment, offer information, and even serve as companions. Devices such as mobile phones and iPads are a blessing in many ways, but they also have the potential to bring about feelings of unhappiness and discontent. It's nothing new for us to compare our lives with others. However, mobile phones and social media sites have made it worse. We are all aware that social media can often distort reality and exaggerate the truth. While smartphone use shows a moderate association with stress and anxiety, the severity of depression and anxiety is notably linked to excessive smartphone usage. Now the world is full of technology, we are engaged to show everything on social networking sites, conscious about their online social group. Where we exist, where we want to exist this feeling was slowly invisible. Therefore, researcher want to know is pupil teacher also have smartphone addiction. Then we want to see the effect on social maturity of pupil teacher is smartphone addiction positively or negatively affect social maturity. In this study shown that low, moderate and high level of smartphones has a significant impact on the social maturity.
Strategic Dynamics of India-Myanmar Relations: An Assessment
Authors: Dubey Yadavendra
Published: September 2024

Relationships between India and Myanmar are based on common historical, ethnic, cultural, and religious experiences. The relationship between Myanmar and India has been cordial over time. The two nations' proximity has also promoted and maintained friendly relations and allowed for more interpersonal interaction. However, in the existing situation, relations seem to be hampered due to changes in geopolitical and geostrategic aspects. The Government of India (GOI) decided to end the Free Regime Movement (FMR) between India and Myanmar on February 08, 2024, to preserve the demographic makeup of the Northeastern states and to safeguard national security. Since New Delhi decided to fence the 1,643 km long border between India and Myanmar, the basic cause behind this decision is to prevent external aggression that may prove detrimental to the regional stability of the region. Myanmar is important to India both strategically and economically given its location. The nation is essential to India's ambitions to use its Act East Policy (AEP) to expand its influence in Southeast Asia, particularly among the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). However, since the military took over in February 2021, political unrest has been present in Myanmar. The Arakan Army, the Ta'ang National Liberation Army, and the Myanmar National Democratic Army launched "Operation 1027" on October 27, 2023, against the military Junta, which further intensified the unrest and hampered India's AEP's main goals.

Rabindranath Tagore: A Tale of a Humanist
Authors: Kumar Anjani
Published: September 2024

Rabindranath Tagore is beyond an artist or a poet, who through his creative thinking and writing has given a new meaning of human life and existence. His urge towards freedom is to go beyond the narrow boundaries of religious affiliations, caste, creed, etc. and to love the fellow humans. It is the love for each other which is reflected as the passion for God. On the one hand, he acknowledged and appreciated Western thoughts and ideas, whereas on the other hand he becomes strongly critical about the Western perspective on the fragmentalization of nation-state in reference to identity and social existence. The logic of hierarchization of society, technologization of human spirit is something that bothered him the most. He emphasized on free will and freedom of human beings through coexistence and mutual respect that would give the ideal space of a nation to grow. It cannot be something which is external, coercive or imposed; rather the feeling of Nationalism has to be within, which is only possible through realization of self and the appreciation of the others. In Spite of his love for Gandhi and his practices of life, he chose to differ from him in the ways of attaining freedom from the Britishers. He believed that boycotting western products could not liberate the Indians, as the Indians themselves could liberate themselves from servocracy and aristocracy.

Inguinal hernia is a common condition in dogs, characterized by the protrusion of abdominal tissues through the abdominal wall in the inguinal region. It can be congenital or acquired, and is more frequent in unspayed females of small breeds. Its most characteristic clinical sign is the presence of a palpable mass in the inguinal region that may increase in size with physical force. The diagnosis is usually made through physical examination and can be confirmed by imaging studies, with the importance of differentiating it from mammary neoplasms which can also manifest in the region. Definitive treatment is surgical, involving the reduction of the hernia and closure of the opening in the abdominal wall. This report describes the case of a thirteen-year-old unspayed female Pinscher who was seen due to the presence of neoplasms in several mammary glands, including the inguinal, and a pedunculated vulvar neoformation. The patient was referred to the surgical department where it was found that, in addition to the mammary neoplasms, she had an inguinal hernia of approximately 7 centimeters in diameter, with protrusion of abdominal tissues. During the surgical procedure, it was identified that the spleen and uterus with pyometra were incarcerated in the inguinal hernia, necessitating the repositioning of the abdominal structures, an ovariohysterectomy and a herniorrhaphy. The patient recovered well, with a favorable prognosis, and mastectomy was recommended after 15 days. The prognosis for inguinal hernia is generally good with appropriate surgical intervention, but complications such as hernia strangulation require early diagnosis and treatment.

Dural venous sinus angioplasty and stenting for treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a single-center experience with 20 consecutive cases
Authors: Moreira Lima Vinicius
Published: September 2024

Background: Dural venous sinus stenosis has been shown to be a potential cause or aggravating factor of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Endovascular therapy for angioplasty of venous sinus stenosis is emerging as a potential alternative to treat IIH. Objective: This article aims to present the results of a cases series representing the experience of a single center in treating this disease. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the angiographic and manometric data of patients undergoing angioplasty and stenting for the treatment of IIH with venous sinus stenosis on magnetic resonance angiography. All patients had failed conventional medical treatment. Data on demographic features, clinical and radiologic presentation, and outcomes were collected retrospectively. Results: 20 female patients, with persistent headache and papilledema, underwent venous sinus angioplasty and stenting. Mean age was 35.9 (SD, 10) years. Eighteen patients (90%) had clinical improvement after the procedure. Of these, all showed resolution (17 patients, 94%) or partial improvement (1 patient, 6%) of papilledema within 6 months. Two patients had persistent moderate-to-severe headache (intensity > 6 on a 10-point pain scale), with continued papilledema despite stable visual acuity on visual field testing. The mean pre-procedure lumbar puncture opening pressure was 30.1 (SD, 4) mm Hg, decreasing to 16.2 (SD, 4) mm Hg after the procedure. Only 4 patients experienced complications directly or indirectly related to the procedure, with no impact on outcome. Conclusion: Angioplasty and stenting of the stenotic segment may effectively and safely treat IIH associated with focal venous sinus stenosis, with a high technical success rate and an acceptable complication rate.

A single institution retrospective study of efficacy and complications perspective of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for benign skull base meningioma: A 12-year follow-up
Authors: F.A. Hafez Raef
Published: September 2024

Background and Objectives: Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has established its role as an effective treatment modality for inaccessible, recurrent, and residual benign skull base meningioma. Therefore, it is necessary to study the outcome in the long term. The current retrospective study aims to analyze and report the clinical and radiological outcomes after long-term follow-up of GKRS for skull base meningiomas >= 12 years. Patients and methods: The present study was conducted on 106 consecutive patients harboring benign skull base meningiomas treated by GKRS at our IMC center between 2005 and 2012 and was followed till the end of 2023. Results: After a median follow-up of 13 years (3.6-18 years), a tumor control rate was reported in 88.7% of patients (n 94/106). Recurrences and tumor progression occurred in 11.3% (n 12/106) at a median follow-up period of 5.4 years (3–10.3 years). The 3, 5-, 10-, 12-and 15-year actuarial tumor control rate was 100%, 95.3%, 89.7%, 88.7%, and 78.1% respectively. Conclusions: The current retrospective study provides a long-term 12-year follow-up and comprises one of the longest follow-up studies of GKRS-treated benign skull base meningiomas. The current series documents a persistent long-term high local tumor control and an acceptable low incidence of neurological deficits. Benign skull base meningioma volume variant at the time of GKRS is a statistically significance predictor factor for tumor control at long-term outcomes.
The risk of intraoperative venous air embolism from neurosurgical procedures performed in the lounging position: an in-depth analysis of detection, management, and outcomes of 1000 consecutive cases

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

The overall benefit of employing a sitting/semisitting position for neurosurgical procedures remains under criticism due to concerns for additional risk, especially the risk of intraoperative venous air embolism (VAE). The aim of this single-center cohort study was to evaluate the frequency and severity of VAEs and associated complications in patients undergoing neurosurgery in the lounging position.

METHODS

From 2010 to 2020, 1000 patients, including 172 patients with a patent foramen ovale, underwent surgery in the lounging position for different neurosurgical pathologies. All patients were monitored intraoperatively using continuous transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The anesthesia team documented any observed incidences of VAEs and scored their severity according to the Tuebingen classification system (TCS) for VAE (TCS-VAE). The patients’ clinical condition, radiological findings, and hospital course were subsequently analyzed to assess complications in a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

RESULTS

In the cohort of 1000 patients, 5 underwent cervical spine surgery and 995 underwent suboccipital craniotomy. VAE was detected by TEE in 51.4% (95% CI 48.4%–54.5%) of patients, with synchronous changes in end-tidal CO2 (grade 2–5 TCS-VAE) noted in 10.2% (95% CI 8.3%–12.3%). None of the patients presented with hemodynamic instability (grade 5 TCS-VAE). Patients with high-grade VAEs were significantly older (p = 0.02) and had lower BMIs (p = 0.001) than the respective mean value of the cohort. VAE grade was not associated with any of the outcome measures such as Karnofsky Performance Scale score, duration of ventilation, length of intensive care unit stay, and length of hospital stay. Postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was diagnosed in 0.3% (95% CI 0.0%–0.7%, n = 3) of all cases, and ARDS was associated with perioperative VAE grade (p = 0.001). No patient suffered a new permanent neurological deficit due to a paradoxical VAE.

CONCLUSIONS

In this large cohort, the risk of an intraoperative VAE during neurosurgery in the lounging position was assessed, and contrary to the general perception in the field, no permanent sequelae or fatal adverse events attributable to VAEs were observed. Furthermore, the overall incidence of ARDS was very low. This study clearly establishes that experienced interdisciplinary teams can safely use the lounging position for neurosurgical procedures.
Early diagnosis to avoid invasive treatment in cardiac migration of a ventriculoperitoneal catheter: a qualitative systematic review and Weibull analysis of case reports
Authors: Nakae Takuro , Hojo Masato , Arakawa Yoshiki
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

The migration of distal catheter after ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement is a rare but significant complication. Especially in a case of cardiac migration, open-heart surgery or catheter intervention may be required. The authors encountered a case of cardiac migration that fortunately could be treated by withdrawal. A systematic review of cardiac migration was performed to clarify when and how migration was diagnosed and why invasive treatments were required. Based on the collected cases, a Weibull analysis of the latency until diagnosis was performed to examine whether cardiac migration is caused by an initial factor and to compare the result with the other migration sites such as gastrointestinal tract or urinary tract.

METHODS

A qualitative systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. A database of case reports was created by searching PubMed and Scopus with the keywords "ventriculoperitoneal AND shunt AND migration" (last search date: April 2022). Whether the occurrence rate of migration is constant over time was examined by fitting a Weibull distribution.

RESULTS

A total of 339 articles of all migration sites were identified. Among them, 36 articles reporting 38 cases of cardiac migration were considered eligible. A total of 39 cases including the authors’ case were reviewed qualitatively. When classifying the cases by their latency to diagnosis, the rates of pulmonary thrombosis and of cardiac adhesion were higher in the delayed group (≥ 1 year) than in the early group (≤ 1 month). The rate of open chest surgery was higher in the delayed, intermediate, and early groups, in that order. In the Weibull analysis, the shape parameter (β) was less than 1, indicating that the occurrence rate of cardiac migration was initially high, followed by a decline. The finding supports the hypothesis that migration results from an intraoperative vascular injury. Note that these findings are subject to bias given that they are derived from case reports.

CONCLUSIONS

In light of the previous reports, the latency until diagnosis of cardiac migration was associated with the rate of thrombosis and adhesion, which resulted in escalation to invasive treatment. Early diagnosis will prevent invasive treatment because most cases are caused by initial factors, as the Weibull analysis showed.

OBJECTIVE

Primary spinal cord gliomas are rare, and among these astrocytomas (WHO grade II) are much rarer. The optimal treatment strategy thus remains unclear. The authors conducted a multicenter study led by the Neurospinal Society of Japan (NSJ) to analyze treatment policies and outcomes. The aim was to present optimal treatment methods for spinal cord astrocytoma and to identify predictors of better outcomes.

METHODS

Among 1033 consecutive cases of spinal cord intramedullary tumors treated surgically at 58 centers affiliated with the NSJ, 57 patients were diagnosed with diffuse astrocytoma (WHO grade II) and were enrolled in the present study. Among these 57 patients, treatment methods, outcomes, and tumor proliferation rate as evaluated by the MIB-1 staining index (SI) were analyzed, and the optimal treatment method for spinal cord astrocytomas (grade II) was determined. In addition, the authors searched for factors predicting better treatment outcomes.

RESULTS

Treatment for spinal cord astrocytoma comprised three methods: surgery alone in 30 patients, adjuvant radiation therapy in 13 patients, and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in 13 patients. One patient who did not undergo surgery was excluded from survival analysis. Treatment with surgery alone or surgery with radiotherapy was associated with significantly longer overall and progression-free survivals than that with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Patients treated with radiation therapy had a higher MIB-1 SI than those treated with surgery alone. The extent of tumor resection tended to correlate with longer survival. In contrast, postoperative neurological worsening showed the inverse order. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was associated with the shortest survival in both total cases and recurrent cases. The optimal cutoff value of MIB-1 SI for predicting longer survival by surgery alone was less than 4.0%.

CONCLUSIONS

The optimal treatment for spinal cord astrocytoma is maximal tumor resection without neurological impairment. When some tumor remains in patients with an MIB-1 SI less than 4.0%, a wait-and-see approach is optimal. If the MIB-1 SI is higher than 4.0%, local radiation therapy is recommended. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not recommended for the treatment of grade II spinal cord astrocytoma.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass has been well described in chronic vaso-occlusive cerebrovascular diseases, including both moyamoya disease (MMD) and atherosclerotic disease (AD). This study aimed to compare factors associated with bypass occlusion between these two diseases.

METHODS

An institutional database of 357 patients with intracranial bypass procedures performed between August 2001 and May 2022 was retrospectively reviewed. Patients with MMD and AD were selected for study. Baseline characteristics, surgical technique, and flow-related measurements were compared in relation to the outcome of bypass occlusion.

RESULTS

A total of 232 patients met inclusion criteria (AD, n = 108; MMD, n = 124). The average age and sex differed significantly between groups (AD 57.2 years, 56.5% male; MMD 36.6 years, 31.5% male; p < 0.001). The modified Rankin Scale scores at surgery and at follow-up were higher in the AD group (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively), showing a slightly worse baseline functional status, and higher rates of stroke were observed in the AD group by last follow-up (p = 0.005). Patients with AD also were more likely to require an interpositional graft (p < 0.001). At last follow-up, rates of occlusion did not differ between AD and MMD groups (25.2% vs 25.4%, respectively). Of occluded bypasses, the AD group had more occlusions within 1 week compared to MMD (51.9% vs 35.5%, p = 0.176), although the difference was not significant. In patients with more than 1 year of follow-up and in those with more than 2 years of follow-up, MMD tended to have higher rates of occlusion (31.2% vs 26.1% [p = 0.558], and 26.4% vs 20.7% [p = 0.564]). Flow measurements did not differ between AD and MMD groups, but in subgroup analyses of patients with AD and those with MMD, both bypass flow and cut flow index predicted occlusion in both groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite different disease etiologies treated with bypass, rates of occlusion at last follow-up did not vary between groups, although short-term follow-up would suggest earlier bypass failure in AD, and extended follow-up trended toward higher occlusion rates in MMD. Additionally, patients with AD were more likely to have further occurrences of stroke by last follow-up. Importantly, the bypass flow and cut flow index at the time of surgery predicted occlusion in both AD and MMD.

OBJECTIVE

Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) use is becoming increasingly widespread in neurosurgical practice, and most of the data reporting its use are in adult populations. There is less evidence on the use of iMRI in pediatric neurosurgery. The aim of this paper was to synthesize the available literature into a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the evidence for iMRI in pediatric neurosurgery, with a particular focus on neuro-oncology and epilepsy surgery.

METHODS

This review was registered on PROSPERO and conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy of Medline via Ovid and Embase was conducted with predetermined key terms. Studies in English reporting the outcomes of patients < 21 years of age who underwent neuro-oncological or epilepsy surgery with the use of iMRI were included in the study. The types of studies eligible for inclusion were observational case-control and cohort studies, randomized clinical trials, cross-sectional studies, editorials, case series, and commentaries. Articles were de-duplicated and abstracts independently screened for inclusion by two reviewers. Full texts were screened, and data on demographic characteristics, etiology, outcome (extent of resection for neuro-oncology and Engel class for epilepsy), and technical iMRI data were extracted.

RESULTS

Thirty-five articles were included in the review, 25 of which were observational cohort studies. Four articles were suitable for meta-analysis. In total, 1217 patients underwent iMRI-guided neuro-oncology surgery in 26 studies, most commonly for gliomas (n = 443). A total of 148 patients underwent iMRI-guided epilepsy surgery in 9 studies, with focal cortical dysplasia being the most common diagnosis (n = 95). The mean ± SD operating time was 357 ± 94 minutes (12 studies), with a mean of 1.32 scans per patient. There was a mean re-entry rate into the operative field of 42% (across 20 studies). Complications were noted in 21% of epilepsy surgery patients and 11% of neuro-oncology surgery patients. Meta-analysis of 4 eligible studies revealed that iMRI was more likely to lead to better Engel outcomes in terms of seizure freedom (OR 3.84, 95% CI 1.38–10.68, p = 0.69) and complete tumor resection (OR 3.19, 95% CI 0.28–36.92, p = 0.06).

CONCLUSIONS

iMRI appears to be a useful adjunct in optimizing resective pediatric epilepsy and neuro-oncology surgery, with a low complication rate.
Canopy garden model for synergy of land and sea area on Papan Island in Tojo Una Una Regency, Central Sulawesi
Authors: Bakri Muhammad Bakri , Kasim Anita Ahmad , Timbang Gator
Published: September 2024

Pulau Papan is one part of the Togean archipelago, Kabupaten Tojo Una Una. Initially, the Pulau Papan area was part of Tiga Pulau Village, Walea Islands District and Malenge Village, Talatako District, because the people who lived in this area came from these two villages. However, in 2011 Pulau Papan was expanded along with the increase in the number of family heads by 638 people and became part of the Kadoda Village area, Talatako District. The aim of this research is to build synergy in destination development between sea space and land/island space by creating regional nodes that are beautiful and function for the public. The public function that is formed can be utilized by the community both as a public space and a functional area that is beneficial for the residents of Pulau Papan, for example a green area containing vegetables for the residents. This vegetable green area is needed because of the limited vegetables on Pulau Papan. The solution proposed in this research is to design a canopy garden model that can become a green structure in the Pulau Papan area. The canopy garden will function to synergize the arrangement of land and sea areas on Pulau Papan. This canopy garden modeling was obtained through a survey process of the Pulau Papan area, then determining the meeting points for the mobility of residents on Pulau Pulau Papan. The public function that is formed can be utilized by the community both as a public space and a functional area that is beneficial for the residents of  Pulau Papan, for example a green area containing vegetables for the residents.

Published: September 2024

Scholars worldwide have shown considerable interest in the industrial sector, mainly due to its abundant resources, which have facilitated the adoption of conveyor belt technologies like Robotic Arm-Based Conveyor Belts (RACBs). RACBs rely on four primary movements: (i.e., joint, motor, gear, and sensor), which can have a significant impact on the overall motions and motion estimation. To optimize these operations, an assistive algorithm has been developed to enhance the effectiveness of motion by achieving favorable gains. However, each motion requires specific criteria for Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller gains, leading to various challenges. These challenges include the existence of multiple evaluation and selection criteria, the significance of these criteria for each motion, the trade-off between criterion performance for each motion, and determining critical values for the criteria. As a result, the evaluation and selection of the Proposed Jaya optimization algorithm for RACB motion control becomes a complex problem. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel integrated approach for selecting the Jaya optimization algorithm in different RACB motions. The approach incorporates two evaluation methods: the Nonlinear Autoregressive Moving Average with exogenous inputs (NARMA-L2) controller for Neural Network (NN) weighting of the criteria, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for selecting the Jaya optimization algorithm. The approach consists of three main phases: RACB-based NARMA-L2 Controller Identification and Pre-processing, Development of NARMA-L2 controller-based NARMA(L2)-FO(ANFIS)PD-I, and Evaluation of FOPID criteria based on JOA. The proposed approach is evaluated based on NARMA(L2)-FO(ANFIS)PD-I that given 0.4074, 0.3156, 0.3724, 0.1898 and 0.2135 for K_p_joint, K_i_motor, K_d_sensor, λ_gear, and µ_N respectively, which verifies the soundness of the proposed methodology.
