Published: May 2021

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a well known condiment of the Asian cuisine and also used as ayurvedic medicine in the content, since ancient times due to its potential therapeutic properties. Main colouring constituent of Curcuma longa is curcumin and curcuminoids. In the present work natural yellow dye was extracted from rhizome of turmeric using an effective low cost method of solvent extraction. The developed natural yellow dye was assessed for physico-chemical analysis, toxicity, polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity. Physico-chemical assay showed good nutritional profile of the extracted natural yellow dye and quite safe at dose level 3.5g/Kg body wt. Significant phenolic content was found to be 63.32 mg GAE/100g, and also showed potent antioxidant capacity (% inhibition) ranging from 5.1-20.4 at 1-5 mg/mL concentration. Animal trials showed no mortality in the mice.

Published: May 2021

Salinity hampers the production of many field crops in the region including rice (Oryza sativa L.), while commonly classified as salt sensitive within the same species, the level of sensitivity varies between genotypes. This study investigated the salinity tolerance of 28 rice genotypes, including 9 aromatics and 19 non-aromatics. Sixty seeds of each genotype were initially sown in trays (24x18 inches) during the 1st week of June, by of using four salt treatments (0, 40, 80 and 120 mM NaCl+CaCl2 @ 20:1). The experiment was laid down in a completely randomized design with four replicates in laboratory conditions, at Shah Abdul Latif University Khairpur, Sindh, for the period of twenty-five days. A significant reduction in agro-morphological parameters was observed against all salinity levels. Based on reduction in dry matter yield, all rice genotypes were found tolerant at 40 mM. Eleven rice genotypes were found tolerant, fourteen were moderately tolerant, one was moderately sensitive and remaining two genotypes were found sensitive at 80 mM salinity level. Furthermore, none of the genotypes were able to with stand 120 mM of salinity. The genotypes Khushboo, DR-83 and Mahek performed meager and showed more than 50% reduction over control and categorised as sensitive, with the genotypes Latifee, DR-67 and DR-92, DR-51 and  IR-6 are categorised as tolerant with a reduction of less than 20% over control based on dry matter yield reduction against all salinity treatments at the early seedling stage. However, these genotypes cannot be justified as tolerant only on the basis of their improved performance at early growth stage. Hence, these genotypes are suggested to be studied further at other advanced growth stages up to maturity to evaluate their response under a saline environment.

Problem Solving Skills of Grade 9 Students in Science and their Science Academic Performance (A Proposed Differentiated Materials)
Authors: Panganiban Rhoda E.
Published: May 2021

The study determined the problem-solving skills and the academic performance in science of grade 9 students as basis for the preparation of differentiated materials on the science subject. Focusing on specific topics like electronic structure of matter, chemical bonding, carbon compound and mole concept, it involved the participation of 52 grade 9 students. The findings showed that the level of problem-solving skills of the Grade 9 students was generally described as above average, their academic performance in Science was found to be at the same above average level. The data led to the rejection of the hypothesis explaining a moderate relationship between the level of problem-solving skills and the academic performance of the students in the subject. A number of instructional materials were developed to address the weakness of the students in problem solving. Further studies on the problem-solving skills of the students are strongly recommended.

Experiences of coercive control among Australian women
Authors: Boxall Hayley , Morgan Anthony
Published: May 2021

Awareness of coercive control within the context of abusive intimate relationships is greater than ever before in Australia. However, there is limited research examining the different patterns and characteristics of abuse, particularly among large Australian samples. This study examines the characteristics of violence and abuse reported by 1,023 Australian women who had recently experienced coercive control by their current or former partner. The most frequently reported behaviours were jealousy and suspicion of friends, constant insults, monitoring of movements and financial abuse. Over half of the respondents also reported experiencing physical forms of abuse (54%), including severe forms such as non-fatal strangulation (27%). One in three of these women also reported experiencing sexual violence during the survey period (30%). Women were much more likely to seek advice or support when they had also experienced physical or sexual forms of abuse.
Early-career offending trajectories among outlaw motorcycle gang members
Authors: Voce Isabella , Morgan Anthony
Published: May 2021

This study examines the criminal histories of outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) members during adolescence and early adulthood to determine whether the profile of young members has changed over time. The recorded offence histories of three cohorts of members—those born between 1979 and 1983, 1984 and 1988, and 1989 and 1993—were compared. Seventy-eight percent of OMCG members across all three cohorts had at least one recorded offence between the ages of 12 and 24. The majority of offenders did not desist but continued offending at a steady rate into adulthood. The youngest cohort in the study was more likely than the middle and older cohorts to have a criminal history and follow a high-rate offending trajectory. Members of the youngest cohort were also more likely to have been apprehended for violence and intimidation, weapons and ongoing criminal enterprise offences by their early twenties. These results suggest that OMCGs are recruiting younger members, who are becoming involved in gang-related offending earlier in life, or that individuals with a history of offending are becoming more likely to join or be recruited into OMCGs.
Effects of outlaw motorcycle gang membership and the support needs of former members
Authors: Boland Dominic , Morgan Anthony
Published: May 2021

Drawing on interviews with 39 former members of outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs), we identify consequences associated with leaving the club and the effects of membership experienced before and after leaving. This evidence is important in helping to inform efforts to promote and facilitate disengagement from clubs. While some members experienced adverse consequences from leaving the club, less hostile separations were not uncommon. Poor mental health, the breakdown of relationships with family and friends outside the club, and problems finding employment post-disengagement were common effects described by former members. Therapeutic interventions, access to stable employment, and the availability of peer and family support networks were common themes in the transition away from clubs. But, importantly, experiences of former members varied, highlighting the need for a flexible response.

Published: May 2021

This study aimed to examine the perceived self-efficacy of the resource room teachers for the distance learning experience in the capital Amman, Jordan in terms of some variables. To achieve this goal, 124 female resource teachers in government schools in the capital governorate were selected. The perceived self-efficacy measure was used to collect data. It is a valid and reliable measure that contains 25 items. The results showed that the level of perceived self-efficacy of the resource room teachers for the distance learning experience was moderate, as the mean of the overall tool was (3.16) with a moderate evaluation score. Table (3) shown that the averages of the tool's items ranged between (2.15-4.07). These averages didn't indicate statistically significant differences at (α≤0.05) for the variables: specialization, teacher's educational level, and number of students who receive service in the room. The data showed statistically significant differences at the (α≤0.05) for teacher's age variable in favor of the younger group. Also, the data showed statistically significant differences at the (α≤0.05) for the variable years of experience in favor of the least experience, less than 5 years.

Machine Learning Algorithms Predict Prolonged Opioid Use in Opioid-Naïve Primary Hip Arthroscopy Patients
Authors: Kunze Kyle N. , Polce Evan M. , Alter Thomas D. , Nho Shane J.
Published: May 2021

Introduction:

Excessive opioid use after orthopaedic surgery procedures remains a concern because it may result in increased morbidity and imposes a financial burden on the healthcare system. The purpose of this study was to develop machine learning algorithms to predict prolonged opioid use after hip arthroscopy in opioid-naïve patients.

Methods:

A registry of consecutive hip arthroscopy patients treated by a single fellowship-trained surgeon at one large academic and three community hospitals between January 2012 and January 2017 was queried. All patients were opioid-naïve and therefore had no history of opioid use before surgery. The primary outcome was prolonged postoperative opioid use, defined as patients who requested one or more opioid prescription refills postoperatively. Recursive feature elimination was used to identify the combination of variables that optimized model performance from an initial pool of 17 preoperative features. Five machine learning algorithms (stochastic gradient boosting, random forest, support vector machine, neural network, and elastic-net penalized logistic regression) were trained using 10-fold cross-validation five times and applied to an independent testing set of patients. These algorithms were assessed by calibration, discrimination, Brier score, and decision curve analysis.

Results:

A total of 775 patients were included, with 141 (18.2%) requesting and using one or more opioid refills after primary hip arthroscopy. The stochastic gradient boosting model achieved the best performance (c-statistic: 0.75, calibration intercept: −0.02, calibration slope: 0.88, and Brier score: 0.13). The five most important variables in predicting prolonged opioid use were the preoperative modified ones: Harris hip score, age, BMI, preoperative pain level, and worker's compensation status. The final algorithm was incorporated into an open-access web application available here: https://orthoapps.shinyapps.io/HPRG_OpioidUse/.

Conclusions:

Machine learning algorithms demonstrated good performance for predicting prolonged opioid use after hip arthroscopy in opioid-naïve patients. External validation of this algorithm is necessary to confirm the predictive ability and performance before use in clinical settings.

Published: May 2021

Objective To describe the laterally extended parametrectomy (LEP) surgical technique, emphasizing the main challenges of the procedure.Methods LEP was designed as a more radical surgical procedure aiming to remove the entire parametrial tissue from the pelvic sidewall. Its initial indications were for lymph node positive Stage Ib (current International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 Stage IIIc) and Stage IIb cervical cancer. Currently, with most guidelines recommending definitive radiochemotherapy for these cases, initial LEP indications have become debatable. LEP is now mainly indicated for removing tumors involving the soft structures of the pelvic sidewall during a pelvic exenteration, aiming to obtain lateral free margins. This expands the lateral borders of the dissection to not only the medial surface of internal iliac vessels, but also to the true limits of the pelvic sidewall.Results During LEP, the parietal and visceral branches of the hypogastric vessels are divided at the entry and exit level of the pelvis. Consequently, the entire internal iliac system is excised, and no connective or lymphatic tissue remain on the pelvic sidewall. The main technical challenges of LEP are caused by the difficulty in ligating large caliber vessels (internal iliac artery and vein) and the variable anatomic distribution of pelvic sidewall veins.Conclusion LEP is a feasible technique for removing pelvic sidewall recurrences, aiming to obtain surgical free margins.

Published: May 2021

In order to raise possible ways of MoO3 synthesis and improve its existing applications, MoO3 nanomaterial was successfully synthesized through the solvo-hydrothermal route by utilizing a mixture of ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) as a solvent, and water as co-solvent in 1:1 ratio. The morphology and structural parameters of IL-as­sisted MoO3 product were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, the surface wettability and particle size distribution were inspected using the contact angle and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface was then modified by IL-assisted MoO3. The formed IL-MoO3/GCE was employed as an electro­chemical sensor for determination of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), which is very toxic and important pollutant. The redox behavior of 4-NP at the surface of IL-MoO3/GCE was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) determined from CV were found to be 6.76 and 22.5 mM, while from DPV recordings, 5.41 and 18.0 mM are found. The obtained results clearly reveal possible application of MoO3 for selective and sensitive sensing of 4-NP. The decorated electrode was successfully employed for determination of 4-NP in the river water real samples.
Interpretation of ECG recordings: part 2
Authors: Szurgot Michał , Wieczorek Weronika , Grabarek Beniamin Oskar
Published: May 2021

The analysis of irregularities in an electrocardiogram (ECG) recording is one of the basic skills of every doctor. That is why becoming familiar with the principles of appropriate ECG interpretation is critical during training and should be mastered at the initial stages of education. An accurate and timely ECG analysis constitutes one of the key factors that determine the prognosis for a patient. At the first stage of test evaluation, irregularities in the components of an ECG must be analyzed, including the waves and segments on the printout. During evaluation, it must be considered that, under certain conditions, particular irregularities may not be apparent. For example, with atrial fibrillation, P wave deviations in the recording are sometimes not visible. The data contained in the ECG recording provides information about heart defects, conduction disorders in the heart muscle, hypothermia, and acute (e.g., myocardial infarction) or chronic conditions (e.g., atrial fibrillation, stable ischemic heart disease). It is important to interpret ECG results in conjunction with the patient’s condition and medical history.

Authors: Ostovarfar Jeyran , Ghahremani Leila , Kaveh Mohammad Hossein , Nazari Mahin , Assadollahi Abdolrahim
Published: May 2021

Background: Many people spend more than a third of their post-maturation on work. Thus, workplace environment and climate have a great impact on individuals' lifestyles, and work environment brings a health perspective that provides a healthier lifestyle for employees. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the staff's lifestyles and health behaviors as well as their relationship with organizational climate. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 404 employees from governmental departments in Shiraz in 2018. The data were collected using a three-part questionnaire, including demographic information, health-promoting lifestyle, and organizational climate questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the SPSS-25 software. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the significant relationship between demographic characteristics and organizational climate, and health-promoting lifestyle indices. The correlations between the lifestyle dimensions of health promotion and organizational climate were analyzed. Results: Age, education level, work experience, gender, and type of organization were the effective factors in the perception of organizational climate. In addition, work experience, type of organization, and the organizational climate governing the workplace were the determinants of the health-promoting lifestyle. The results revealed a significant, positive, weak correlation between the health-promoting lifestyle and organizational climate. A significant correlation was also observed between self-actualization and organizational climate (r = 0.290, P < 0.001). Conclusions: It is necessary to identify which individual and organizational characteristics should be improved to support the organizational climate to improve the health-promoting lifestyle.
Silicon Valley Goes to War
Authors: Schwarz Elke ,   DePaul University
Published: May 2021

Across the world, militaries are racing to acquire and develop new capabilities based on the latest in machine learning, neural networks, and artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, I argue that the shift into military AI is shaping human behaviour in heretofore unacknowledged and morally significant ways. Following Anders, I argue that as the human becomes digitally co-machinistic (mitmaschinell), they are compelled to adopt a logic of speed and optimisation in their ethical reasoning. The consequence of this is a form a moral de-skilling, whereby military personnel working with digital infrastructures and interfaces become less able to act and decide as moral agents. This is an especially concerning development when it comes to the conduct of war, where the moral stakes could not be higher.
Kristeva vis-à-vis Hegel
Authors: Shaul Dylan ,   DePaul University
Published: May 2021

This article reconstructs and compares Kristeva’s account of psychoanalytic interpretation as a practice of forgiveness with Hegel’s account of the origin of Absolute Knowing in the forgiveness constitutive of mutual recognition. An emphasis on homologies between the memory-work of Kristevan psychoanalysis and the recollective process of Hegelian Absolute Knowing elicits deeper affinities between Kristeva and Hegel than have previously been supposed. Both Kristevan and Hegelian forgiveness operate as the healing of an originary guilt, achieved through the verbal confession and examination of the confessor’s particular biographical and historical past, negating and raising up—sublating or sublimating—the contradictions of consciousness. Psychoanalysis and Absolute Knowing both enact in the present the reconciliation which religion perpetually defers to an unspecified future. While not replacing the institution of legal punishment, Kristevan and Hegelian forgiveness qua personal and social renewal and rebirth provide for the possibility of radical political transformation.
Taxonomy of the New World bee genus Agapostemon Guérin-Méneville – new names and synonymies (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)
Authors: Sheffield Cory S. , Vilhelmsen Lars , Bakker Frederique
Published: May 2021

Many early taxonomic works on North American bees were published by Europeans using specimens collected in the New World, some with type locations so imprecise that uncertainty on the nomenclatural status remains to this day. Two examples come from Fabricius (1745–1808) who described Andrena virescens Fabricius, 1775 and Apis viridula Fabricius, 1793 from “America” and “Boreal America”, respectively. The former species of Agapostemon Guérin-Méneville, 1844 occurs across most of the United States and southern Canada, the latter presumed an endemic to Cuba. The type materials of these two taxa have never been compared to each other, though a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis placed both in distinct species groups. Here we synonymize Apis viridula under Ag. virescens, thereby making Ag. femoralis (Guérin-Méneville, 1844) available as the name for the Cuban species. A lectotype for Ag. femoralis (the type species for the genus Agapostemon) is hereby designated to stabilize this taxonomy. We also synonymize Ag. obscuratus Cresson, 1869 under Ag. femoralis, suggesting that it represents a dark colour polymorphism. As Ag. cubensis Roberts, 1972 is a junior secondary homonym of Ag. cubensis (Spinola, 1851), we offer Ag. robertsi as a replacement name for the former.
Džon Broadus Votson (1878-1958) and 'Little Albert': Love as a conditioned emotional reaction
Authors: Vasić Aleksandar
Published: May 2021

A century has passed since the publication of a case study report on the subject of affective conditioning known as "The Little Albert Experiment" (Votson & Rejner, 1920). This study has proven to be of great importance to further development of behaviorism and to the development of modern psychology as a whole, becoming an indispensable part of psychology coursebooks, such as Psychology 101, Developmental Psychology, Psychology of Learning and History of Psychology. The study is closely linked to several turning points in the personal life and professional career of Džon B. Votson (1878 - 1958), the most important representative of an authentically American school of thought called behaviorism. This paper will present these crucial moments both in Votson's life and in the development of modern psychology together with several fundamental themes in the history and historiography of psychology. Firstly, we lay out the contemporary socio-cultural context in the United States and outline the major trends in the development of psychology at the turn of the 20th century. A biographical sketch of J. B. Votson follows, together with the description of tenets of original behaviorism as it was presented and developed in Votson's writings. "The Little Albert Experiment" is presented in detail, as well as the search for "Little Albert"'s identity and his fate as the sole subject of this experiment. Finally, we relate the fates of J. B. Votson and his family, and conclude by giving a brief account of the legacy and influence of behaviorism on contemporary scientific psychology.
Criminal procedure principles in defendant hearing
Authors: Mirkov Željko
Published: May 2021

Although there is no uniform definition of procedural principles in criminal procedure theory, they can be defined as legal rules or guidelines on which the criminal proceedings are based. As such, the principles of criminal procedure law apply to procedural entities and procedural actions. Evidentiary actions, as a type of procedural action, clarify the criminal case that is the subject of the criminal proceedings. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates several evidentiary actions, one of which is the preliminary hearing of the defendant. The defendant hearing, in which the defendant gives their testimony, is given a great deal of attention because it represents one of the most important pieces of evidence, and the course of evidence presentation is the most significant and crucial issue of the criminal proceedings. Therefore, the paper will present a review of the criminal procedure principles related to this evidentiary action, starting from the principle of legality as the main principle, followed by the principles of orality, publicity, immediacy and adversity (party control of facts and means of proof).
The Serbian tax policy for a new digital age: Some proposals while we wait for a general tax reform
Authors: Kostić Svetislav
Published: May 2021

This paper addresses the topic of how to help Serbian employers fight for our domestic talent with foreign competition, as due to modern technologies, in the better part of our service sector the Serbian workforce has entered the global market. The author adds to this concern the need to transform the Serbian economy from a service provision one to a model centred around high value creation of domestically owned IP. The Serbian creative industry or, to be more precise, its IT sector, is used as the primary field of research, and its own and fiscal policy makers attempts to align the aforementioned two interests are outlined starting from 2018. Based on the developments so far the author proposes a set of tax measures aimed at facilitating the transition of the current Serbian economy into a 4.0 format, wherein the fight to maintain Serbian talent in Serbia and within Serbian employers plays a crucial role.
Untapped export opportunities of Serbian economy after a decade of investment and export based growth model
Authors: Atanasijević Jasna , Vasiljević Duško , Nikolić Zoran , Pavlović Olivera
Published: May 2021

Relying on the economic complexity and product space approach developed by Hidalgo and Haussmann [21], and using trade data, exporters' financial reports and available macroeconomic statistics, we try to assess the degree of transformation of structure and production potential of the Serbian economy over the last decade. We argue that although the overall economic complexity, as a decent predictor of higher economic growth, did slightly improve over the observed period, there is still large untapped potential in local knowledge and know-how. FDI inflow into manufacturing industry, as the most important factor of the transformation of the production structure and size of the economy, has contributed to growth in employment and export, improving the macro stability. On the other side, its contribution to the higher growth outlook by improving the production capacity was limited as FDI inflow has been directed mostly into low and medium-low technology industries with low complexity products. Moreover, it seems that the vertical spillover through linkages with local suppliers and transfer of technology, knowledge and practices could also be larger. In the same period, some positive developments of limited scale yet are reflected in emergence of a certain number of high-tech industries' products with high complexity, most likely produced by SMEs, such as electrical equipment, lighting, various software embedded devices, etc.
Bosnia and Herzegovina and changes to the international order: 25 years since the Dayton Agreement
Authors: Perišić Srđan
Published: May 2021

The paper deals with the impact of changes to the international order on the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina over the period of 25 years, from the signing of the Dayton Agreement in 1995 to 2020. For a start, there is an analysis of all models of international order in that period. Furthermore, the paper analyses the unipolar international order as it existed until 2008 and its impact on the internal relations and political system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as on the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Europe and the region of former Yugoslavia. In this respect, it particularly focuses on NATO's activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in that period and the position of the Republic of Srpska. The second period begins after the year of 2008, and it represents the growth of a multipolar international order. It is the impact of that order on Bosnia and Herzegovina and its internal situation that is discussed in the paper, with Russia's return to the Balkans and its consequences analysed in detail. In addition, an analysis of the Chinese economic and geopolitical project entitled 'Belt and Road Initiative' and its impact on the region of former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina included, is given. In the presentation, as well as in the paper, one of the focal points is the respective position of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska within the context of NATO enlargement. The influence of the structure of the international project (nejasno, potrebno je definisati koji projekat, iz prethodnog teksta to nije vidljivo) on the states can be seen on the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina - according to the scheme given by the theorist Kenneth Voltz. The unipolar order, influenced by the then US administration, is the creator of the Dayton Agreement in 1995, as well as of the political and legal order in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The political processes that took place after 1995 were also affected by the unipolarity and power of the United States. This power was focused on efforts to turn Bosnia and Herzegovina into a unitary socio-political structure, that is. to change its Dayton design. The culmination of the power of unipolarity and the United States in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the acceptance by political elites of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the NATO integration process in the period of 2005-2009. The emergence of a multipolar order is blocking the process of Bosnia and Herzegovina joining NATO, with the Republic of Srpska stopping the transfer of competences to the state level.
Remembering work: The 'Čajavec' company workers after privatisation
Authors: Pepić Anđela
Published: May 2021

The working class was, at least formally, a formative basis of the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The transformation of the system from the Communist to the capitalistic one led to its alienation, poverty, and social exclusion. This transformation, as part of the neoliberal globalisation, occurred through the introduction of the so-called 'shock therapy' measures: liberalisation, privatisation, and stabilisation. Large industrial complexes and leading stateowned companies in the SFRY were the subject of, often dubious, privatisation processes. Through such processes, workers, who were once owners and motors of companies they worked at, are now stripped of the ownership and the opportunity to work at the same companies. The majority of research on postCommunist economic transformation focuses on changes to the system, on economic aspects of privatisation processes, and on introduction of market economy. Yet, there are few research focusing on the privatisation and transformation from a workers' perspective. This paper attempts to fill in this gap by providing a different angle to the current studies of transformation of the SFRY and its successor states. Through interviews with former workers of privatised and/or closed factories and industrial complexes (using the local company of 'Rudi Čajavec' as an example), the research presented in this paper analyses workers' attitudes and sentiments towards the labour in the Communist Yugoslavia and the labour today, as well as towards the privatisation processes accompanying the latter.The research gives a voice to the workers, and, by looking at the past, gives a worker-centred approach to imagining labour in the future.

Published: May 2021

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the most extensive surgical treatments for obesity. The treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is complex due to the difficulty of accessing the excluded gastric antrum and duodenal bulb. There is no consensus regarding the management of this complication. While various techniques have been described to access the biliopancreatic limb, double-balloon enteroscopy is the most commonly used. If double-balloon enteroscopy is unavailable, a pediatric colonoscope may be used as an alternative; however, its use in such cases has not been described. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who underwent gastric bypass 13 years ago and was admitted for a second episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The initial approach using upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and abdominal computed tomography angiography did not reveal the cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage; therefore, an endoscopic study of the biliopancreatic limb was performed using a pediatric colonoscope. A Forrest Ib ulcer was found in the duodenal bulb, and endoscopic therapy was administered. The evolution was found to be satisfactory.
Brushfire - An Experience in Building a Masthead Cutter
Authors: Williams John J.
Published: May 2021

To say that building a sailboat forty feet long was an experience is a severe over­simplification. A fellow stopped by during construction of the hull, and after observing me for a while asked, "Is this a business?" My reply was that I wouldn't do this again for anyone. However, after turning the hull upright I admit I contemplated marketing the completed project and building a 50-footer. I quickly regained my senses. My wife and I much prefer sailing to building. That doesn't mean that building it can't be fun. It certainly doesn't need to monopolize your life. During our project we took time out one year to vacation in Paris and to cruise aboard both a chartered boat and a boat owned by friends. This paper describes the approach we applied in this project which took five years to complete.
Palliative Integration Into Ambulatory Oncology: An Advance Care Planning Quality Improvement Project

Advance care planning (ACP) is essential to ensuring that patient-centered end-of-life goals are respected if a health crisis occurs. Advanced practitioner barriers to ACP include insufficient time and limited confidence in discussions. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase advanced cancer patients’ electronic health record (EHR) documented surrogate decision maker and ACP documentation by 25% over 8 weeks. A secondary aim was to decrease patients’ decisional conflict scores (DCS) related to life-sustaining treatment preferences after a clinical nurse specialist (CNS)-led ACP session. Using the define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) process of quality improvement methodology, an interprofessional team led by a palliative CNS fostered practice change by (a) incorporating a patient self-administered Supportive Care and Communication Questionnaire (SCCQ) to standardize the ACP assessment, (b) creating an EHR nursing and provider documentation template, (c) offering advanced cancer patients a palliative CNS consultation for ACP review and advance directive completion, and (d) evaluating patients’ DCS through the four-item SURE tool. Of 126 participants provided with the SCCQ, 90 completed the document, resulting in a 71% return rate. Among the completed SCCQs, 37% (n = 33) requested a CNS consultation, with 76% (n = 25) returning for the ACP session. The CNS intervention yielded an average reduction of 1.4 points in SURE tool findings, a statistically significant decrease determined by a paired sample t-test. The project’s interprofessional collaboration promoted a system-wide standardized ACP process throughout ambulatory, acute, and post-hospital settings.
Practical Considerations for Integrating Biosimilars Into Clinical Practice

Published: May 2021

The development of innovator biologics and now their biosimilars has created some unique challenges in oncology practice. The oncology advanced practitioner (OAP) must understand the key differences between the innovator biologic and biosimilars in regard to efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity. In addition, the OAP must be able to evaluate and successfully navigate factors that may affect the adoption of biosimilars, such as the perceived cost-benefit and clinician and patient acceptance.
Jægeren, de venlige jaguarer og honningfesten
Authors: Lundager Jensen Hans J.
Published: May 2021

Engelsk summary: This brief article is an addition to my introduction to Philippe Descola’s theory on ontologies available in this volume of RvT. Inspired by a South American myth about helpful jaguars, I discuss Lévi-Strauss’ miscomprehension of the animist ontology, which paradoxically pervades the Amerindian myths analyzed in detail in his Mythologies and other works. I also propose a reason for this miscomprehension. At the end of the fourth and final volume on Amerindian mythology, The Naked Man, Lévi-Strauss suggested that the multitude of myths must be regarded as variants of one single conception; an irreversible loss of communication between heaven and earth. However, this conclusion appears as an indirect apology for a naturalistic modernity, based on a confusion between animist and analogist ontologies.

DANSK RESUME: Denne mindre artikel ligger i forlængelse af min redegørelse for Descolas ontologi-teori i dette nummer af RvT. Ud fra en overvejelse over en sydamerikansk myte om hjælpsomme jaguarer drøftes Lévi-Strauss’ misforståelse af den animistiske ontologi, som, paradoksalt nok, er massivt til stede i de amerindiske myter der analyseres så indgående i hans Mythologiques og andre steder. Jeg foreslår en årsag til denne miskendelse. I slutningen på det fjerde og sidste bind af Mythologiques, foreslog Lévi-Strauss at se alle de mange myter som variationer over ét og samme tema: et uigenkaldeligt tab af kommunikation imellem himmel og jord. Men denne konklusion forekommer mest at fungere som en indirekte apologi for en naturalistisk modernitet, baseret på en sammenblanding af animistisk og analogistisk ontologi.
L’utilisation des mesures de contention et d’isolement en centre de réadaptation pour jeunes : une revue systématique des facteurs associés
Authors: Poitras Mélanie , Geoffrion Steve
Published: May 2021

L’utilisation des mesures de contention et d’isolement (MCI) en centre de réadaptation (CR) est controversée, car ces mesures peuvent entraîner des conséquences négatives pour les jeunes les subissant et pour les éducateurs les appliquant. Bien que les MCI soient considérées comme des interventions « exceptionnelles », plusieurs études révèlent que leur utilisation dépasse leur cadre légal d’application. Le premier objectif de cette revue systématique est de présenter au lectorat francophone les facteurs recensés dans la revue systématique de Roy et al. (2019) qui sont associés à l’utilisation des MCI en CR. Cette première revue systématique couvrant la période de 2012 à 2017 présentait un modèle conceptuel à quatre catégories (caractéristiques des jeunes, des éducateurs, l’environnement, des programmes) regroupant les facteurs associés aux MCI. Le deuxième objectif est de mettre à jour la revue systématique de Roy et al. (2019). La présente revue systématique a été réalisée en recherchant dans PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC et PsycNET des articles publiés entre juillet 2017 et décembre 2020. Les mots clés utilisés étaient des synonymes de MCI, jeunesse, et CR. Six études québécoises répondent aux critères d'inclusion et d’exclusion de la revue systématique. Les études confirment huit facteurs présentés dans Roy et al. (2019) et huit nouveaux facteurs ont pu être classés dans les catégories conceptuelles de leur modèle. Ces ajouts remettent en évidence la complexité de l’utilisation des MCI, contribuent à améliorer la compréhension de leur utilisation et peuvent orienter certaines pratiques individuelles et organisationnelles.

La publication deLa structuration de l’êtred’Adrien Morel offre une fois de plus l’occasion de montrer à quel point les pseudosciences ont réussi à pénétrer et même à intoxiquer des pans entiers des sciences humaines et sociales. Le texte comprend trois parties. Dans la première, je présente la formation académique de l’auteur et ses diverses expériences professionnelles. La deuxième est consacrée à un survol de son ouvrage. Dans la troisième, je mettrai en évidence le triste constat que Morel n’est pas le seul auteur à utiliser un langage hermétique.
Mechanical heterogeneity along single cell-cell junctions is driven by lateral clustering of cadherins during vertebrate axis elongation

Morphogenesis is governed by the interplay of molecular signals and mechanical forces across multiple length scales. The last decade has seen tremendous advances in our understanding of the dynamics of protein localization and turnover at subcellular length scales, and at the other end of the spectrum, of mechanics at tissue-level length scales. Integrating the two remains a challenge, however, because we lack a detailed understanding of the subcellular patterns of mechanical properties of cells within tissues. Here, in the context of the elongating body axis of Xenopus embryos, we combine tools from cell biology and physics to demonstrate that individual cell-cell junctions display finely-patterned local mechanical heterogeneity along their length. We show that such local mechanical patterning is essential for the cell movements of convergent extension and is imparted by locally patterned clustering of a classical cadherin. Finally, the patterning of cadherins and thus local mechanics along cell-cell junctions are controlled by Planar Cell Polarity signaling, a key genetic module for CE that is mutated in diverse human birth defects.
