Lebia nigricollis Gené, 1839, valida e interessante specie endemica di Sardegna, e note sull’affine Lebia (s. str.) cruxminor (Linné, 1758) e suoi sinonimi
Authors: Casale Achille , Allegro Gianni , Magrini Paolo
Published: May 2023

Il presente studio è basato sull’esame dell’olotipo femmina e di un esemplare maschio di Lebia (s. str.) nigricollis Gené, 1839, entrambi provenienti dalla località tipica della specie. Gli Autori dimostrano la validità specifica di questo taxon, correntemente citato in diversi cataloghi e checklist di Carabidi come sinonimo (“varietà” o “aberrazione”) di L. cruxminor Linné, 1758. Questa specie, endemica del massiccio del Gennargentu nella Sardegna centro-orientale, si conferma come molto affine a L. cruxminor, ampiamente diffusa nella Regione Paleartica, ma è marcatamente distinta da quest’ultima per diversi caratteri esterni, per il diverso colore e per la differente struttura dell’edeago. Le sinonimie di L. nigripes Dejean, 1825 e di L. caucasica Motschulsky, 1844 con L. cruxminor sono confermate. Rimane enigmatico finora lo status tassonomico di L. cruxminor subsp. pilosula Antoine, 1963, descritta dell’Alto Atlante centrale in Marocco, che per diversi caratteri morfologici potrebbe rivelarsi come specie distinta. In conclusione, Lebia (s. str.) nigricollis Gené, 1839, conosciuta finora su due soli esemplari e mai più ritrovata, si aggiunge come un’ulteriore, interessantissima specie alla già molto ricca fauna italiana, in un’area della Sardegna dove è localizzata la maggior parte dei taxa di Carabidae endemici di quest’isola.

Patriarchy, couple counselling and testing in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zimbabwe
Authors: Chibango Vimbai , Potgieter Cheryl
Published: May 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends couple human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counselling and testing (CHCT) as one of the beneficial and cost-effective means for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV within couple’s relationships. However, CHCT within the PMTCT of HIV settings in Zimbabwe remains low. This study explored adult men and women’s views from a rural district of Zimbabwe regarding the possible factors that facilitate or inhibit the uptake of CHCT for the PMTCT of HIV. The study utilised qualitative methods. Data were collected by conducting eight focus group discussions among adult men and women, as well as eight in-depth interviews with pregnant women admitted in antenatal wards in local hospitals. Thematic analysis was used for analysing the data with the aid of NVivo software. The study revealed that CHCT initiatives were hampered by certain patriarchal behaviours and beliefs that make it acceptable for men to have multiple sexual partners, thereby exposing their marriages and relationships to HIV. Social constructions around gender roles tend to prescribe women as the sole custodians of children’s health, and this led to stigmatisation against men who participated in PMTCT programmes. In addition, certain religious practices do not allow the use of medicine, which makes CHCT a nonevent. However, engaging men on platforms that advocate for progressive masculinities and raising awareness of this practice through information dissemination were identified as enablers in increasing CHCT.Contribution: The significant contribution of this study is that it demonstrated the importance of acknowledging the societal, cultural and religious practices inherent in a community, as they are central to their responses to HIV prevention interventions.
The role of women in managing the environmental crisis: A case study of Cyclone Idai in Chipinge, Zimbabwe
Authors: Mukurazhizha Rudo M. , Matanga Sarah Y.
Published: May 2023

Some of the environmental crises can be avoided, but others come unannounced and the adverse effects affect the communities as a whole with women, children and people with disabilities being affected the most. The world is in constant flux where climate changes are affecting the daily lives of humanity and the ecosystem as a whole. Global efforts towards environmental crises are in place including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Hyogo protocol and Sendai framework among other legislations, safeguarding the environment as a whole. Women have played many roles when responding, preparing and mitigating the adverse effects of environmental crises with some of the roles visible and others invisible and unpaid. Women have been involved in identifying hazards through their indigenous knowledge systems and manoeuvring ways for the continuity of lives in their local communities. This study utilised a qualitative research methodology. A case study of Cyclone Idai in Chipinge was explored. Moser’s triple framework and the African Ecofeminist theory guided the discussions in this article.Contribution: The article concluded by recommending that concerted efforts should be made to emancipate women and pragmatically embrace gender as an essential variable in the environmental crisis.
Vitamin D Levels in Children with Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma in South India
Authors: Chakkamadathil Jesin Kumar , Nair Sanjeev , Chetambath Ravindran
Published: May 2023

Background:

Vitamin D deficiency has been declared a public health problem for both adults and children worldwide. Asthma and related allergic disorders are leading causes of morbidity in children. The objective of this study was to estimate Vitamin D levels in children suffering from asthma and allergic rhinitis in North Kerala.

Objectives:

(1) To evaluate Vitamin D levels among children between the age group 5 and 18 years suffering from asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. (2) To study the factors associated with low levels of Vitamin D and (3) to study the correlation between Vitamin D levels, immunoglobulin E (IgE), and absolute eosinophil count (AEC).

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective analysis of hospital data in which data of children between the age group 5 and 18 years attending the pulmonology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in North Kerala are captured. The study period was 6 months from March 01, 2021, to August 31, 2021. Detailed clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations including complete blood cell count, IgE, and 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (Vitamin D) level were done. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and asthma is made on the clinical presentation by an experienced pulmonologist. Family history of asthma or allergic rhinitis was also recorded. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel, and analysis was done using Epi Info 7. Means and standard deviation were calculated, and correlation was assessed between Vitamin D levels, IgE, AEC, and age of the children.

Results:

Thirty percent of children in the study group had Vitamin D deficiency, 56% had insufficient values, and 14% had normal values. Most of the children with low Vitamin D levels had raised values for IgE and AEC, but the association was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:

Most of the children in this part of the state presenting with respiratory allergy have low or insufficient levels of Vitamin D. This may be one of the reasons for poor control of symptoms and such children may require Vitamin D supplementation along with optimal treatment of respiratory allergy.
Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Reducing Blood Loss in Posterior Lumbar Spine Surgery for Lumbar Canal Stenosis with/without Instability
Authors: Srinivasalu S. , Arouje Milen E. , Mallikarjunaswamy B. , Mohan M. Madan , Ankith N. V. , Shekoba Mahesh
Published: May 2023

Introduction:

Lumbar stenosis is a common disorder, commonly occurring at L4-5, with up to 91% of patients having neural compression at this level. Degenerative spinal stenosis with or without instability requiring multilevel spine surgery is associated with large blood loss. Tranexamic acid (TXA), a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug, has been reported to reduce blood loss in orthopedic surgery, but there have been few reports of its use in spine surgery. The objectives of the study were to assess the efficacy of TXA in reducing perioperative blood loss and assess the complications associated with its administration and need for blood transfusion during posterior lumbar spine surgery for lumbar canal stenosis (LCS).

Methodology:

Between November 2018 and August 2020, 130 adult patients (age 18–70 years) with LCS undergoing posterior lumbar instrumented spinal fusions at our institution were divided into TXA and control groups. Outcomes assessed are intraoperative blood loss (IOBL) and postoperative blood loss (POBL), hematocrit, need for allogeneic blood transfusion, and complications such as deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and seizures postoperatively.

Results:

There was a statistically highly significant reduction in the mean IOBL, POBL, mean postoperative hemoglobin, and postoperative packed cell volume in the tranexamic group compared to the control group. There was no significant statistical difference in need for blood transfusion among the two groups. No complications were observed in either group associated with administration of TXA.

Conclusion:

Prophylactic use of low-dose TXA provides an effective and safe method for reduction of blood loss during and after LCS surgeries. Low-dose TXA does not significantly affect the duration of surgery or need for blood transfusion. Higher-level multicentric studies are required to evaluate the safety of TXA in multilevel lumbar spine surgeries.

Authors: Bera Sourav , Sahoo Jyotibash , Sharma Mahamaya , Sarangi Pradosh Kumar , Majumdar Prasanta Kumar
Published: May 2023

Calcifications are rare in gastric adenocarcinoma and all reported cases correspond to a mucinous adenocarcinoma. Mucinous gastric adenocarcinoma (MGC) is a rare histological variety representing approximately 2.6%–6.6% of gastric cancers, sometimes associated with punctate and miliary calcification. We describe one such case having punctate calcifications with characteristic contrast-enhanced computed tomography showing hypoenhancing middle and outer layer of stomach suggestive of extracellular mucin pool, primarily in submucosa and deeper layer and thin enhancing inner layer suggestive of normal mucosa, referred to as layered enhancement pattern. We also describe the radiopathological correlation of MGC with brief review of literature.
An innovation percutaneous needle knife use for trigger finger: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Velmurugan Bharath Kumar , Huang Chih-Yang , Ding Dah-Ching , Wu Kun-Chi
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of percutaneous pulley release by our newly designed needle knife in terms of cure, relapse, and complication rates.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred and fifty-seven patients were allocated into male and female groups between October 2014 and September 2021. We included patients >15 years of age with a trigger finger (TF) (types II–VI). The primary outcome was the absence of a TF and pain-free movement. In contrast, the secondary outcome included second-time surgery and the number of complications such as infection and admission for antibiotics.

Results:

One hundred patients were male, and 157 patients were female. Males and females had mean ages of 62.45 ± 11.76 and 61.50 ± 8.57 years, respectively. The operative time was significantly longer in males than in females (7.88 ± 6.02 vs. 6.52 ± 3.74 min in males and females, respectively, P = 0.027). However, the percentages of diabetes mellitus and gout were the same in both groups. For the percutaneous methods with our needle knife, remission of the trigger was achieved in all cases. In addition, seven patients received revision and three patients with complications. After needle surgery, topical and joint pain scores were improved in both groups (from 5.09 ± 1.31 to 0.80 ± 1.56).

Conclusion:

The percutaneous methods with our needle knife displayed effectiveness. The cure rate was high, and the relapse rate was low. Further large-scale clinical trials comparing percutaneous needle to open surgery for releasing the TF will be needed to confirm our results.

Published: May 2023

Background: Various functions are involved in prefrailty. However, no studies have examined more relevant functions. Therefore, this study examined the domains of the Kihon Checklist (KCL) associated with prefrailty by comparing them to robustness measures, using the KCL to comprehensively assess life-related functions in community-dwelling older adults.Methods: The 194 (mean age, 75±6 years) participants were community-dwelling older adults. Their robustness and preferences were assessed using the Japanese Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. Comprehensive life-related functions were assessed using the KCL, and each physical function was measured.Results: The main KCL characteristics associated with robustness and prefrailty were physical function (odds ratio [OR]=1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17–2.88), nutritional status (OR=8.16; 95% CI, 2.96–22.48), and depressed mood (OR=3.46; 95% CI, 1.76–6.79). In particular, older adults had difficulty moving, including climbing stairs and getting up from a chair, which suggested a strong fear of falling. The participants also reported psychological characteristics such as low life fulfillment, a low sense of self-usefulness, and a strong sense of boredom.Conclusions: Prefrail individuals were characterized by poor physical function and nutritional status, as well as depressive mood. Prefrailty may be prevented or improved by approaches to improve physical function and fear of falling in addition to psychological interventions that encourage activity and a sense of self-usefulness.

Authors: Irfan Tanzil , Asif Raheem Muhammad
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant shift towards online teaching-learning practices, disrupting traditional methods at the university level. This review analyzes 35 studies using content analysis to understand the perceptions of students and teachers towards online learning during this time. The findings indicate that the shift to online learning has created both challenges and opportunities for students and teachers. For students, challenges included technical issues, lack of social interaction, and reduced motivation, while opportunities included flexibility, self-paced learning, and increased access to resources. For teachers, challenges included adapting to online platforms, providing effective feedback, and maintaining student engagement, while opportunities included innovation, creativity, and improved teaching skills. Factors that influenced perceptions of online teaching-learning included technology infrastructure and accessibility, student and teacher demographics and background, institutional policies and support, and sociocultural and environmental factors. The review recommends improving the quality of online teaching-learning experiences by providing adequate technological support and training for both students and teachers, promoting interaction and engagement, and providing effective feedback. This study has significant implications for the field of education, emphasizing the need for continuous adaptation and improvement to ensure equitable access to education for all students. This review provides valuable insight into the perceptions of students and teachers towards online teaching-learning during COVID-19. However, limitations and challenges of the study include the limited number of studies analyzed and the heterogeneity of the findings. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of online teaching-learning on student and teacher performance, engagement, and satisfaction, as well as the implications for policy and practice. Overall, the review underscores the importance of considering the various factors that affect the perceptions of online teaching-learning and the need for continuous adaptation and improvement to ensure equitable access to education for all students.

Published: May 2023

Background: Research experience in pharmacy education fosters critical thinking, communication, and research skills; thus, it is crucial to ensure that research skills are acquired and research outcomes are achieved.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate students’ and supervisors’ perceptions of the effectiveness of assessment rubrics in measuring and enhancing student research performance.
Methods: Two surveys were administered separately to research supervisors and students to collect information on their perceptions of the effectiveness of assessment rubrics.
Results: Most supervisors agreed that assessment rubrics made scoring easier, accurate, unbiased, and consistent (>72% rated ≥4) and that they helped identify the strengths and weaknesses of their students in research (73.3% rated ≥4). About 80.5% of students ranked the rubrics ≥4, indicating that rubrics motivated them to improve their research performance. Essentially, the effective use of assessment rubrics to improve research performance would depend on students’ attitudes towards self-regulation and supervisors’ commitment to project supervision.
Psychology of Fashion and its influence on Indian Consumers
Authors: G P Dinesh  , Divyabharathi
Published: May 2023

Fashion psychology is commonly defined as the study of the impact of clothing choices on the way in which we perceive and judge each other. However, the term fashion psychology is a bit misleading, as the field actually looks well beyond clothing’s impact on the individual. And its focus transcends clothing to also consider the impact of many other products that express self- identity and are influenced by the same forces that drive change in the apparel industry, Many psychological factors help explain what motivates us to be fashionable. These include conformity, desires for variety seeking, the need to express personal creativity, and sexual attraction. For example, many consumers seem to have a need for uniqueness: They want to be different (though not necessarily too different!). As a result, people may conform to the basic outlines of a fashion, but still improvise to make a personal statement within these general guidelines. Psychology and fashion are two fields that, on the surface, may seem unrelated, but they have a deep connection. Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour, while fashion is the study of clothing and accessories. However, fashion is also a reflection of societal values, cultural influences, and personal expression. It is a visual representation of how individuals want to be perceived and how they want to present themselves to the world. Therefore, fashion can be used as a tool to understand various psychological concepts such as identity, self-esteem, and social status. Understanding the relationship between psychology and fashion can provide insights into how individuals use clothing and accessories to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and personality to others, and how fashion trends are shaped by psychological factors.

Published: May 2023

La conciliación tributaria permite realizar ajustes a las cuentas del contribuyente para establecer la base imponible sobre la que se debe aplicar la tarifa del impuesto a la renta. En el marco de estos ajustes se deben considerar las exenciones o deducciones que contempla la norma tributaria y los gastos que han excedido los límites establecidos. Por lo antes indicado, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo diseñar un procedimiento para la conciliación tributaria de la Compañía Centro Audiológico Audiocentro Cía. Ltda., para tal efecto, se aplicó un estudio descriptivo, explicativo, no experimental. Para la recogida de datos se empleó un cuestionario con 17 reactivos y se revisaron investigaciones publicadas en bases de datos de Scopus y Web of Science. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio dejan en evidencia que el desconocimiento de las exenciones y beneficios tributarios por parte del contribuyente, no han permitido calcular de manera óptima el impuesto a la renta a pagar al cierre del último periodo fiscal.

Published: May 2023

For Nigeria to attain the goal of becoming one of the twenty (20) largest economies by the year 2030, the life expectancy of her citizens must be robust. This study reveals the relationship that exists between Global Life Expectancies (GLE) and some of its major predictors such as Gross Domestic Products (GDP) per capita, Electricity Consumption (ECM) per capita, and Access to Safe Water (ASW), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) reported cases with the aim of formulating an appropriate model for measuring such relationship. Using the Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis, it is observed that the determinants contribute most significantly to the growth of life expectancies. The multiple regression analysis reveals highly significant and negatively linear relationship between life expectancy and maternal mortality rate with a significant and positive association with Gross Domestic Product per capita and access to safe water.

Que nous dit l’industrie cinématographique américaine sur le rôle économique de Wall Street et la perception de la bourse dans le temps ? À travers un corpus conséquent de films américains du XXe et XXIe siècles, cet article illustre comment, en trois périodes distinctes, Hollywood a pu mettre en scène la finance et contribuer au mythe de Wall Street. Sujet mineur jusque dans les années 1980, ces années ont vu l’apparition de blockbusters financiers avec la montée en puissance de la financiarisation de l’économie. La crise des subprimes renouvelle le genre, questionnant la place de la bourse et l’éthique des traders.
Politique et Poétique des Films Hollywoodiens : l’Espace du Récit National
Authors: Vatanpour Sina
Published: May 2023

Le cinéma hollywoodien a souvent été défini comme une « industrie du divertissement », un terme qui déduit un statu quo dans les relations avec la politique. Contrairement à l’affirmation, les films hollywoodiens sont très orientés politiquement avec des récits qui traversent la plupart des productions et promeuvent une perception particulière de la société américaine. Le code de production mis en place en 1930 et imposant l’autocensure a été un catalyseur majeur par rapport à la politique du cinéma à Hollywood.
Le Mas des Alouettes ou Comment Raconter le Génocide Arménien : du Roman (2004) d’Antonia Arslan à la Réalisation Cinématographique (2007) des Frères Taviani
Authors: Zidarič Walter
Published: May 2023

Le roman Le mas des alouettes (La masseria delle allodole) d’Antonia Arslan, auteure italienne d’origine arménienne, publié en 2004, fut à la fois un grand succès éditorial et une première pour la littérature italienne. Retraçant les événements de 1915, en Anatolie, le roman raconte l’histoire de la famille de l’écrivain, entre l’Italie et son pays natal, à un moment fatidique de l’Histoire. L’oncle de la fiction romanesque était en réalité le grand-père de l’auteur-narrateur, d’où le travail de récupération de mémoire de l’histoire de sa famille de la part d’Arslan qui aboutit à la dénonciation du génocide arménien. Suite au succès phénoménal du livre, les cinéastes Paolo et Vittorio Taviani se sont également penchés sur la question du génocide arménien et ont produit leur œuvre cinématographique en 2007. Tout en restant très proches de la fiction romantique d’Arslan, ils ont cependant introduit plusieurs éléments nouveaux dans la narration filmique en utilisant le modèle mélodramatique comme filigrane de leur discours esthétique.

Narratives of Slow Violence Fear by Greek-speaking Pregnant Women during the COVID-19 Period
Authors: Saini Vasiliki
Published: May 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic pregnant women had to cope with the unknown and unprecedented challenges the coronavirus health crisis created. The Greek state and the biomedical discourse classified pregnant women as vulnerable due to the increased risk of severe illness and mortality rate of pregnant women infected by the coronavirus, depriving them of any kind of agency. However, the fear of slow violence of potential COVID-19 infection to the fetus’s health and the health of pregnant women led them, and particularly, the participants in this research, to act agentively as self risk-managers and to proceed to the adoption of several measures in order to alleviate this fear and to safeguard their own and their fetus’s health. These measures consisted of self-regulated preventive measures, mitigation strategies, and the COVID-19 vaccine uptake or refusal. These findings constituted the voice of the interviewees and their experience of being pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were the outcome of the conduct of eighteen online formal semi-structured in-depth online interviews and netnography. The research lasted three months, from 10 February 2022 to 10 May 2022, and was conducted in framework of the thesis: The experience of pregnancy in the COVID-19 period in Greece at the Master Course: Cultural Anthropology-Sustainable Citizenship of Utrecht University.
The Poet as a Cultural Ambassador and Social Critic
Authors: Adekunle Idowu James
Published: May 2023

Poetry is oral literature with aesthetic skills. It is a performative form of a cultural infusion of traditional and contemporary realities of the human world. Poetry in its true nature is political, economic, and sociological. Poetry is largely human. Previous studies have examined poetry as entertainment and poetic orature to neglect cultural significance and social criticism. Therefore, this study examines as poetry an embodiment of cultural identities and an element of social criticism. The anthology of Femi Abodunrin, entitled “It Would Take Time: Conversation with Living Ancestors” would be examined.  This is in a bid to see how a poet serves as a cultural ambassador of his/her country and, at the same time, a social critic. Femi Abodunrin is a Nigerian-born poet. Schechner's Performance, Freudian, and Jungian psychoanalytic theories were used to analyze the selected collections. The selected poems are subjected to performance and literary analyses.
