Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Uncomplicated Postdated Pregnancy
Authors: Bhandari Pooja , Sharma Sunita , Subedi Dr Ashim
Published: November 2022

Introduction: A pregnancy that lasts beyond the expected date of delivery is called as postdates pregnancy. Postdates pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of fetal, neonatal mortality and morbidity as well as an increased maternal morbidity.

Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 196 uncomplicated postdates pregnancies in two tertiary care centers i.e. Manipal Teaching Hospital and Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. The aim of the study was to assess the maternal and fetal outcomes in uncomplicated postdates pregnancy. The data was collected by using structured interview schedule and entered in MS excel with validated command and analyzed with SPSS version 16.

Results: In the study, out of 196 postdates pregnancies, 30.6 % of the mothers had undergone caeserean section 3.06 had an instrumental delivery and 1.5% had traumatic delivery. Further 5.61 % of the mothers had postpartum hemorrhage. A total 3.8 % of the neonates were admitted to the NICU and 1.5 % of the neonates were resuscitated.

Conclusion: The study concluded that postdates pregnancy was associated with perinatal complications like postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), an increase in incidence of caesarean section and admission of neonates to NICU. Careful advice and monitoring can alleviate maternal and fetal untoward complications.
The Poetry about Isolation and the Sanatorium : Resisting Hatred toward People in Sickness
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Sakasai Akito
Published: November 2022

This paper considers the issue of isolating people in sickness by referring to an ideological view over disabilities that is presented by the offender of the Sagamihara care center massacre in 2016 and criticisms from researchers toward such a view. To build my own discussion, I will refer to the literary work by residents of a Hansen’s disease care center, who are also zainichi Koreans(resident Koreans in Japan) who had to remain in the care center even after the liberation from the Japanese Empire after the end of World WarII. The literary activities of two figures, Kim Ha-il and Koyama Sueko, are targets of literary analysis in this paper. I will trace a process of reconstructing their self-identification and recognition of the situation of isolation through creating tanka(Japanese poetry) and poetry. I will especially pay attention to the relationship between their own bodies and languages and how they understand their surrounding discrimination that were structured through the modern history of Japan. This paper discusses not only the internal psychological world of the two poet/poetess but also how their expressions were inevitably tangled with the environment in which they were forced to stay against their will by the government eugenic policies and societal prejudices. A goal of this paper is to get a clue from such an experience of isolation to reflect on hatred in the age of the pandemic.

An Analysis of Hospitality Consciousness in Korean-Chinese Narratives 「Okhwa」 and
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Lee Man-gang
Published: November 2022

This article examines the aspects of hospitality in their works by narrative analysis of the works of Korean-Chinese artists. In China and Korea, Geum-hee and Jang Yul, who would have considered the national identity as a Korean-Chinese, the other consciousness and hospitality more fiercely than anyone else, present their views and thoughts on hospitality to Korean society through their works. To examine this, I would like to borrow a discussion on the contradictory relationship between unconditional hospitality and conditional hospitality by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Geum-hee's novel “Okhwa” shows that conditional hospitality, which is considered inferior to unconditional hospitality and must be overcome in the process of advancing to unconditional hospitality, is in fact inseparable from unconditional hospitality and can play a role in leading the subject. In Jang Yul's “Duman River”, you can think about the ethical problem of hospitality in which women's lives and pain are guaranteed in realizing unconditional hospitality.
Pain Management after Bilateral Mastectomy Surgery with Continued Intravenous Ketamine: A Case Report
Authors: Djafar Zulfikar , A. Husni Tanra
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Ketamine is recommended as postoperative analgesia because ketamine is a classic anesthetic agent that is available in almost all hospitals, including hospitals with limited resources. This study aims to describe the continuous use of intravenous ketamine as postoperative pain management in a bilateral mastectomy.

Case presentation: A woman, 35 years old, was admitted to the hospital with complaints of lumps in both breasts. On physical examination, the patient looked weak, with blood pressure 120/70 mmHg, pulse 105x/minute, respiratory rate 18x/minute, temperature 36.8ºC, and numeric rating scale (NRS) 7/10. In the thoracic region, mammary dextra, there is a lump the size of a fixed tennis ball, 15 cm in diameter, and the skin around the lump looks red with a dry wound. On palpation, there is tenderness and hardness; mamma sinistra has a lump the size of a melon, 20 cm in diameter, with an ulcer that is still wet. On palpation, there is tenderness and hardness, and fixation. The patient was diagnosed as mammary tumor dextra et sinistra, suspected malignancy, and a simple bilateral mastectomy was performed. The anesthetic technique used during the operation was general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation (GETA). The premedication given was dexamethasone 10 mg intravenously, midazolam 3 mg intravenously, and fentanyl 100 mcg intravenously. Postoperative pain management using ketamine 0.15 mg/kgBW was given a bolus, followed by 0.1 mg/kgBW/hour.

Conclusion: The use of ketamine in postoperative bilateral mastectomy can reduce pain intensity and have minimal side effects.

Authors: Soto Triana Joan Sebastian , Venegas Luque Rocio
Published: November 2022

Antecedentes: Se inicia con una introducción conceptual desde los autores más relevantes que han contribuido a la construcción de la categoría de memoria y los posteriores desarrollos sobre memorias de paz como conceptos pertinentes para la comprensión de los procesos de transición del conflicto en Colombia. Objetivo: El artículo pretende establecer una mirada a las diversas memorias que emergen alrededor del conflicto armado en Colombia. Reflexión: Se ubican algunos actores de la memoria del conflicto en Colombia y se invita a la reflexión sobre la práctica de procesos que utilizan la categoría de memoria. Así, las memorias de paz como escenarios de tensión entre la historia oficial y la narrativa subjetiva aparecen como espacio para la construcción de identidades y su abordaje desde los distintos actores involucrados, ya sean víctimas o firmantes de la paz (excombatientes), pueden concurrir como elemento dinamizador de sociedades pacíficas. Conclusiones: En ello la acción psicosocial se propone desde la recuperación de relatos de vivencias para resignificar los procesos de experiencia del conflicto, visibilizando la importancia de aquellos elementos que produjeron formas diferentes de acción para proteger los grupos, los individuos, la memoria y la identidad.

Linguistic and non-linguistic cues in motion event endpoint description: The selection between English to and towards
Authors: Liao Yiyun , Dijkstra Katinka , Zwaan Rolf A.
Published: November 2022

The current study aims to explore the factors that could affect people’s description of a motion event endpoint. The study conducted by Liao, Dijkstra, and Zwaan (2021,Language and Cognition,13[2], 161–190) found that two non-linguistic factors (i.e., the actor’s goal and the interlocutor’s social status) affect people’s choice between two Dutch directional prepositions (i.e.,naarandrichting) during event description tasks. The current study aims to extend these findings by examining the choice between a similar pair of directional prepositions in English (i.e.,toandtowards). Moreover, we aim to study whether grammatical aspect (i.e., the English simple present and the English progressive aspect) affects the sensitivity to the two non-linguistic factors and consequently also affects how people describe a motion event endpoint. In Experiment 1, we used the English simple present for all sentence stimuli (e.g.,he walks (?) the trash bin). We found a significant effect of Interlocutor (the interlocutor’s social status) on preposition choice, but no significant effect of Intention (the actor’s goal). In Experiment 2, we replaced the English simple present with the English progressive aspect (e.g.,he is walking (?) the trash bin). We found significant main effects of both Interlocutor and Intention on preposition choice. These findings extend those reported in Liao et al. (2021) Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 35(4), 498–520 in that protagonist intention and interlocutor status were found to indeed affect motion event endpoint description. The current findings furthermore show that grammatical aspect affects people’s sensitivity to these factors, thus also affecting how a motion event endpoint is described.
Can Gender and Major Explain College Students’ Performance in Business Statistics?
Authors: Ngamsiriudom Waros , Devkota Mitra L. , Menon Mohan K.
Published: November 2022

Recent discussions in education, industry, and government have focused on the need for growth and diversity in STEM fields. STEM education and practice directly contribute to the economic vitality of a nation and benefit its citizens. Yet, STEM education and employment growth seem lopsided concerning both gender and diversity. While researchers have studied various dimensions of this phenomenon, this paper seeks to add to the knowledge base by analyzing the effects of gender and college major on performance and attitudes in statistics-related courses. T-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression were used to investigate the effects of gender, major, and attitude on performance in business statistics courses. Results indicate that, in the business statistics course, there were no significant differences between the average score of male students and female students in 2 of 3 semesters. In the marketing research course, where similar statistical concepts as taught in the business statistics course were adopted, results were similar. However, there were differences in the students’ scores when their academic majors were considered. Findings from this study can contribute to developing effective and innovative pedagogical methodologies to teach statistics and related subjects.
Nigerian Christians and National Rebirth: Nehemiah’s Response in the Bible as a Paradigm
Authors: Adabembe Kehinde Oluwatoyin
Published: November 2022

Nigeria in no doubt needs to be saved from her present predicaments. This work therefore has arisen from the present state of our dear nation Nigeria. The paper is a clarion call to Nigerian Christians for the rescue of our nation, using Nehemiah example. It is imperative to say Nigeria needs a rebirth at this critical time because of the vices that have penetrated every nook and cranny of the nation. It has been noted lately that the values, principles, love and unity that bind the country together have been eroded. This therefore necessitated the introduction of Nehemiah ideas in response to the state of his nation as a clarion call to Nigerian Christians both home and abroad to rescue Nigeria from her present predicaments. Nehemiah was a man who accepted responsibility on behalf of others. This paper adopted a systematic and scrupulous referenced study of primary materials such as archives, newspaper, government and non-governmental report and consultation of relevant books. The paper revealed that, Christians must be patriot just like Nehemiah who was concerned with the state of his nation. Christians should also emulate his efforts in rebuilding his nation despite the stiff oppositions he faced. In the same vein, Christians in Nigeria should arise and condemn social evils which permeate our contemporary Nigeria.
Utilization of Funds Allocated to Agricultural Research Institute Libraries in Nigeria
Authors: Esievo Lovet Ovigue , Abdulsalami Lucky Tijani
Published: November 2022

This study focused on the utilization of funds allocated to agricultural research institute libraries in Nigeria. All the fifteen (15) agricultural research institute libraries were involved in the main study; three in the pilot study, and twelve in the main study. The survey research method was adopted and the instrument used for data collection was the utilization of funds allocated to Agricultural Research Institute Libraries in Nigeria Questionnaire (UFARILNQ). UFARILNQ solicited responses from the principal officers of ARIs and their librarians who were themselves major users of the libraries. The responses were in line with the two research objectives of the study: utilization of funds allocated and extent to which appropriated funds met services needs of the agricultural research institute libraries. The data collected were analysed using frequency distributions, percentages, mean scores, standard deviation, graphs, and tests of differences and relationships for the four hypothesis. One way ANOVA was used to test for the differences in received funds and their utilization among the ARILs. The study established that funds allocated to ARILs were inadequate but well utilized except for purchase of computers which were deployed for services provision. The services provided were literature search, reference, selective dissemination of information, which were adjudged to be those required to meet the needs of users, except mobile library services which was non-existent. Even as funding was inadequate, the respondents were satisfied with their judicious use resulting in the ARILs offering satisfactory services. However, the hypotheses was tested at significant level of 0.05. The decision of the hypothesis was rejected at P< 0.05 and retained at alpha level of 0.05 (P> 0.05). For hypothesis one, the observed P-value in the test was 0.134, which was higher than the fixed level of significance 0.05 (P> 0.05). From this observation, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in fund utilization by Agricultural Research Institute Libraries in Nigeria is therefore retained. Hypotheses one was retained. The recommendations of the study included all funds allocated to the agricultural research institutes libraries in Nigeria should be properly utilized for their respective purposes. Also the librarian of each agricultural research institute libraries in Nigeria should be a Principal Officer of the respective institute to enable the librarian to have a meaningful understanding of funds allocations.

This study aims to develop learning media for android-based educational games in science subjects for energy sources, so as to increase the activity of students and increase their understanding of various energy sources and their uses. This type of research is research and development (R&D), which refers to the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implement, and Evaluation). The data obtained will be analyzed with descriptive quantitative and qualitative data. The feasibility of learning media for Android-based educational games from the research results is "very feasible" to be used as a learning medium for fourth grade students. This can be seen from the results of the percentage of media expert validation of 82%, material expert validation of 88%, and linguistic expert validation of 88%. The three criteria are declared to have valid categories with additional input and general suggestions that are used as consideration in improving educational game media. Furthermore, based on the questionnaire responses, students obtained results of 92.9% which indicated the "very good" criteria. Meanwhile, based on the results of the class tests (pre-test and post-test) the average value was initially only 55.6, which increased to 85.6 after using educational game media.

Published: November 2022

These days, the problems of the energy crisis and environmental pollution are rapidly getting worse. As a result, using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and ocean energy serves as an alternative to the current conventional energy. The fastest-growing renewable energy source to produce electricity is ocean wave energy, which is also pollution-free. While ocean wave energy harvesting is not fully developed in Malaysia, there are some potential opportunities for it to be explored. There is a lack of stability in the wave energy harvester prototypes currently in use. Therefore, the aim of this study is to design a stable floating buoy as a wave energy harvester for the Malaysian coastal area and to conduct a stability analysis on the proposed design. In this study, the design of the floating buoy was based on the composition of previous studies done for power generation which is the NAHRIM’s Coastal Defense and Energy Generator (N-CODE). Commercial software was used as a medium to evaluate the stability performance of floating buoys in terms of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analyses. The wave amplitude was regulated between 0.1 m and 1.0 m while the wave frequency was kept constant at 0.5 Hz. This floating buoy shows a significant result for stability in static conditions since its metacentric height is greater than the centre of gravity. Finally, it has been determined that the floating buoy concept is viable in the Peninsular Malaysian coastal region, where the floating buoy can endure 1.0 m of wave amplitude.

THE DETERMINANTS OF INNOVATIVE CAPACITY IN THE MEDICAL SECTOR IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND ACROSS THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Hegerty Scott W. , Weresa Marzenna
Published: November 2022

The recent COVID-19 crisis, as well as the resulting international response, have demonstrated the importance of medical innovation in meeting current and future health challenges. Yet capacity for innovation differs from country to country, and policymakers are wise to find ways to increase each nation’s ability to generate new solutions. This study examines medical innovation, measured as patents per capita, for 27 EU countries from 2004 to 2018. Modelling innovation as a function of international and domestic macroeconomic variables, government and private-sector R&D, the rate of return to physical and human capital, and a measure of risk, a dynamic panel analysis finds that real-exchange-rate volatility reduces patent applications for some countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. The response to the explanatory variables differs by countries’ overall innovation levels, with innovation in weaker innovators reduced by risk and increased by higher education levels. In stronger innovators, the internal rate of return most strongly drives innovation, suggesting that this process more closely resembles “traditional” investments.
Oxygen Ablation during Atmospheric Entry: Its Influence on the Isotopic Composition of Micrometeorites
Authors: Rudraswami N. G. , Pandey M. , Fernandes D. , Carrillo-Sánchez J. D. , Feng W. , Plane J. M. C. , Singh V. P.
Published: November 2022

Micrometeorites (MMs) offer glimpses of the diverse nature of parent bodies that accreted during the first few million years after the formation of the proto-Sun. The present work explores this by evaluating the ablation of oxygen from MMs during atmospheric entry, and the resulting effect on the oxygen isotopic composition. A Chemical ABlation MODel (CABMOD) combined with the measured oxygen isotope composition of MMs, shows that at temperatures below 2000 K a relatively small percentage (∼0%–5%) of oxygen ablates; the temperature is nevertheless sufficient to induce diffusion among the different silicate phases of MMs. The large δ
18O composition found within different MM types with low oxygen ablation indicates that exchange with atmospheric oxygen is insignificant during entry. Therefore, to explain the large δ
18O values existing in heated MMs, where oxygen ablation is less than a few percent, we propose that these particles are from distinct C-type asteroids that have undergone nebular gas exchange and/or aqueously altered in their parent bodies. This is supported by the evidence from unmelted MMs that have not exchanged oxygen during atmospheric entry or undergone ablation, but have large δ
18O values. However, the oxygen isotope composition of different types of cosmic spherules does not appear to vary systematically with temperature and could be due to the heterogeneity of their precursors. This investigation overall provides insights into the oxygen ablation of the particles during atmospheric entry, oxygen isotopic alteration, and the reservoirs of the diverse extraterrestrial objects that prevailed in the early solar system.
Age and growth of the Pacific hake, Merluccius productus (Actinopterygii: Gadiformes: Merlucciidae), in the Gulf of California: A multimodel approach
Authors: Alvarez-Trasviña Eduardo , Quinonez-Velazquez Casimiro , Arizmendi-Rodríguez Dana I. , Salcido-Guevara Luis A. , Rodríguez-Domínguez Guillermo , Sanchez-Cardenas Rebeca
Published: November 2022

Over the past decade, the fishery of Pacific hake, Merluccius productus (Ayres, 1855), has increased in the Gulf of California, Mexico; therefore, any biological–fisheries information is highly relevant for the management of this fishery, and information on age and individual growth would be fundamental to evaluate populations. The objective of the presently study was to assess age, based on otolith structure, and estimate growth parameters through a multimodel approach. Specimens were collected during research cruises of BIP XI from 2014 to 2019. Pacific hake from the Gulf of California ranged in length from 12.5 to 105 cm TL, reaching a maximum age of 13 years, and females were four years older than males. The logistic model was the best model to describe age–size data for both sexes. Females reached 50% of the maximum length at five years old and males reached that length at four years old.
Cacopsylla pruni (Hemiptera, Psyllidae) in an apricot orchard is more attracted to white sticky traps dependent on host phenology

Published: November 2022

The colour preference of the plum psyllid,Cacopsylla pruni(Hemiptera, Psyllidae), is yet poorly studied. This species is the only known vector of the ‘CandidatusPhytoplasma prunorum’, the agent of European stone fruit yellows (ESFY), a devastating disease of several cultivatedPrunusspecies in Europe. As ESFY is still uncurable, vector control, thus vector monitoring, is pivotal to protect these trees.Cacopsylla pruniis a univoltine, host-shelter-alternating species; overwintered adults migrate from conifer to wild or cultivatedPrunusspecies (family Rosaceae) in late winter-early spring. To select the most effective colour indicating the arrivals of the immigrants, yellow, fluorescent yellow, white, red and transparent sticky traps were deployed in an apricot orchard in Hungary. The two most abundant species in sticky traps wereC. pruniandC. melanoneura. Catches of white traps were significantly biased towardsC. prunias compared toC. melanoneuraspecimens. Moreover, white sticky traps were better at catching plum psyllids than the other colours. Attraction to white was strongest when immigrants from shelter plants kept arriving in the orchard, coinciding with the blooming principal phenophase of apricot trees. When the host flowering growth stage was over, catches ofC. pruniin white traps declined sharply to the level of yellow traps that was highest during this post-blooming period. We recommended white sticky traps for promptly monitoringC. pruniin apricot orchards because it is more potent and more selective than yellow ones during the critically important early flowering interval.

The paper summarises many years of discussions and experience of biodiversity publishers, organisations, research projects and individual researchers, and proposes recommendations for implementation of persistent identifiers for article metadata, structural elements (sections, subsections, figures, tables, references, supplementary materials and others) and data specific to biodiversity (taxonomic treatments, treatment citations, taxon names, material citations, gene sequences, specimens, scientific collections) in taxonomy and biodiversity publishing. The paper proposes best practices on how identifiers should be used in the different cases and on how they can be minted, cited, and expressed in the backend article XML to facilitate conversion to and further re-use of the article content as FAIR data. The paper also discusses several specific routes for post-publication re-use of semantically enhanced content through large biodiversity data aggregators such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) and others, and proposes specifications of both identifiers and XML tags to be used for that purpose. A summary table provides an account and overview of the recommendations. The guidelines are supported with examples from the existing publishing practices.

A mathematical approach for studying the fractal-fractional hybrid Mittag-Leffler model of malaria under some control factors
Authors: Rezapour Shahram , Etemad Sina , Asamoah Joshua Kiddy K. , Ahmad Hijaz , Nonlaopon Kamsing
Published: November 2022

Malaria disease, which is of parasitic origin, has always been one of the challenges for human societies in areas with poor sanitation. The lack of proper distribution of drugs and lack of awareness of people in such environments cause us to see many deaths every year, especially in children under the age of five. Due to the importance of this issue, in this paper, a new five-compartmental $ (c_1, c_2) $-fractal-fractional $ \mathcal{SIR} $-$ \mathcal{SI} $-model of malaria disease for humans and mosquitoes is presented. We use the generalized Mittag-Leffler fractal-fractional derivatives to design such a mathematical model. In different ways, we study all theoretical aspects of solutions such as the existence, uniqueness and stability. A Newton polynomial that works in fractal-fractional settings is shown, which allows us to get some numerical trajectories. From the trajectories, we saw that an increase in antimalarial treatment in consideration to memory effects reduces the peak of sick individuals, and mosquito insecticide spraying minimizes the disease burden in all compartments.
Processions in Byzantine Constantinople: the evidence from the Dresden A104
Authors: Manolopoulou Vicky
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses supplicatory liturgical processions (litae) and their routes in eleventh-century Constantinople by examining a hitherto neglected source; the eleventh-century Praxapostolos Dresden A104. References to supplicatory processions found in this source are examined in comparison with one of the most important sources on Byzantine ceremonial: the tenth-century kanonarion-synaxarion known as the Typikon of the Great Church. By comparing the evidence relating to the use of sites within the city during commemorations that included a procession in these two sources it is possible to draw some conclusions in terms of the way the litanic landscape changed between the tenth and eleventh centuries. The paper aims to present new evidence relating to the way annually commemorative processions were performed in Byzantine Constantinople.
ERT as Mobile Learning by Necessity
Authors: Pallitt Nicola , Kramm Neil
Published: November 2022

The term as below Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) has been adopted worldwide. In practice, approaches to ERT have been contextual with diverse lecturer and student experiences owing to complex assemblages of sociomaterial practices. Approaches to ERT as mobile learning by necessity are understudied. The ‘pivot' to ERT was particularly challenging for those in resource-constrained environments. Lecturers not only had to redesign face-to-face courses for ERT but were designing for mobile learning based on their own resource constraints and that of their students. For many, this highlighted broader concerns for equity and social justice. The authors share case studies of two lecturers at Rhodes University, arguing that a sociomaterial perspective can assist researchers and practitioners to better understand contextual approaches to ERT. The article demonstrates concerns when designing mobile learning experiences and how lecturers' design journeys are entangled with the material, social and political.

Published: November 2022

Kerala has received worldwide attention for its remarkable achievements in social sector. However, marine fisherfolk is an ‘outlier' community in the state. Many studies identified fisherfolk in Thiruvananthapuram district as the most vulnerable among them. As poverty is a cause and consequence of vulnerability, this paper analyses the incidence and intensity of multidimensional poverty among fisherfolk in Thiruvananthapuram. The study employs cross-sectional research design and primary data was collected from 600 fisher households in three coastal villages. Multidimensional poverty index (MPI) was constructed by using Alkire-Foster methodology. Results indicate that MPI of marine fisher-folk households is 0.1 and 26 percent of these households are MPI poor. As per estimates of OPHI,MPIof Kerala is 0.004 and only one percent of people in Kerala are MPI poor. This reveals that incidence of multidimensional poverty is higher among fisherfolk as compared to general population in Kerala. Average intensity of deprivation among the poor is almost 40 percent.

We report a rare case of vascular ring due to a left cervical circumflex aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery arising from a Kommerell diverticulum. This is a very rare case of vascular ring in a newborn with stridor and stenosis of the left pulmonary artery. A cardiac catheterization and an angio-computed tomography scan were helpful to clarify the diagnosis. The surgical correction was performed with division of the arterial duct, reimplantation of the right subclavian artery, aortic and tracheal suspension, and pulmonary arterial plasty. The patient was asymptomatic at discharge and 1-year follow-up.

In January 2020, we instituted acute febrile illness surveillance in 11 hospitals and clinics across Belize. Within 3 months, we diagnosed an acute case of Chagas disease by polymerase chain reaction in a 7-year-old child in the northern part of the country. Phylogenetic analyses of the parasite from the acute blood specimen revealed a multiclonal Trypanosoma cruzi infection, including parasites from the TcII (25.0% of haplotypes), TcIV (2.5% of haplotypes), and TcV (72.5% of haplotypes) discrete typing units. The family reported no history of travel, and three Triatoma species vectors were found within the home. The child’s mother was seronegative for antibodies to T. cruzi, ruling out congenital transmission. Convalescent blood samples documented seroconversion and confirmed acute infection. The child was successfully treated with nifurtimox. This is the first known diagnosed case of acute Chagas infection in Belize, highlighting the need for further investigation and public health prevention measures.

The recommended schedule for killed oral cholera vaccine (OCV) is two doses, 2 weeks apart. However, during vaccine campaigns, the second round is often delayed by several months. Because more information is needed to document antibody responses when the second dose is delayed, we conducted an open-label, phase 2, noninferiority clinical trial of OCV. One hundred eighty-six participants were randomized into three dose-interval groups (DIGs) to receive the second dose 2 weeks, 6 months, or 11.5 months after the first dose. The DIGs were stratified into three age strata: 1 to 4, 5 to 14, and > 14 years. Inaba and Ogawa vibriocidal titers were assessed before and after vaccination. The primary analysis was geometric mean titer (GMT) 2 weeks after the second dose. Data for primary analysis was available from 147 participants (54, 44, and 49 participants from the three DIGs respectively). Relative to the 2-week interval, groups receiving a delayed second dose had significantly higher GMTs after the second dose. Two weeks after the second dose, Inaba GMTs were 55.1 190.3, and 289.8 and Ogawa GMTs were 70.4, 134.5, and 302.4 for the three DIGs respectively. The elevated titers were brief, returning to lower levels within 3 months. We conclude that when the second dose of killed oral cholera vaccine was given after 6 or 11.5 months, vibriocidal titers were higher than when given after the standard period of 2 weeks. This provides reassurance that a delayed second dose does not compromise, but rather enhances, the serological response to the vaccine.
O tym nie trzeba mówić. Czeska (nie)pamięć o wysiedleniu Niemców
Authors: Gawarecka Anna
Published: November 2022

Temat powojennego wysiedlenia Niemców, przez lata, zwłaszcza w oficjalnej retoryce propagandy komunistycznej, traktowanego w kategoriach „sprawiedliwości dziejowej”, w dzisiejszych dyskursach literackich staje się przedmiotem wielopłaszczyznowych redefinicji i przewartościowań. Pisarze średniego i młodszego pokolenia (Radka Denemarková, Jaroslav Rudiš, Kateřina Tučková, Jakuba Katalpa), ożywiając debatę nad losem niemieckich mieszkańców terenów czechosłowackich, dążą do przywrócenia „trudnej pamięci” i do obnażenia procesów wyparcia i zapominania o winach własnych, towarzyszących wypędzaniu dotychczasowych sąsiadów, pozornie jedynie uzasadnionemu słusznością przypisywania odpowiedzialności zbiorowej domniemanym zwolennikom zbrodni hitlerowskich.

Do Not Say It Out Loud. Czech (Un)memory of the Displacement of the Germans

Over the years, the subject of the post-war displacement of Germans was treated in terms of “historical justice”, especially in the official rhetoric of the communist propaganda. Now it has become the subject of multidimensional redefinition and reevaluation in the literary discourses. Writers of the middle and younger generation (Radka Denemarková, Jaroslav Rudiš, Kateřina Tučková, Jakuba Katalpa), by enlivening the debate on the fate of German inhabitants of Czechoslovakia, strive to restore “difficult memory” and to expose the processes of repression and forgetting about own guilt resulting from expulsion of the 24 Anna Gawarecka former neighbours, apparently only due to the legitimacy of assigning collective responsibility to alleged supporters of Nazi crimes.
Zaboravljanje traume – Goli otok u jugoslovenskoj semiosferi
Authors: Bečanović Tatjana Đurišić
Published: November 2022

U radu se analiziraju semiotički procesi koji se odvijaju pod institucionalnim pritiskom, a dovode do toga da sociokulturna zajednica pamti, odnosno zaboravlja po diktatu aktuelnog režima, što znači da kolektivnom mnemonikom, ponekad i brutalno, upravljaju politički i ideološki centri moći u čijim je rukama, po pravilu, i najveća količina semiotičke moći. Tako je svojevremeno jugoslovenski državni aparat bio usmeren na zaboravljanje Golog otoka, u čemu se oslanjao upravo na institucije sistema, posebno na delovanje svoje obaveštajne službe UDB-e koja je upravljala golootočkim logorom i nametala zabranu njegove tematizacije. Odsustvo iz javnog diskursa trebalo je da rezultira zaboravom, a institucionalno nasilje i proizvedena socijalna fobija da zauvek ućutkaju svedoke. Stoga se u radu traga za manifestacijama najmračnije jugoslovenske tabu teme, uz koju je vezana najveća količina institucionalnog nasilja i represije, čiji je cilj bio zaboravljanje golootočke traume. Iako je književnost najmanje kontrolisan diskurs, o ovoj temi se piše tek godinama nakon zatvaranja logora, u kome je od 1949. do 1956. bilo zatočeno oko 15.000 ljudi. U potrazi za zabranjenom golootočkom tematikom, autorka analizira narativne tekstove Dragoslava Mihailovića (Kad su cvetale tikve 1968. i Goli otok 1990) i Mirka Kovača (Rane Luke Meštrevića 1971).

Forgetting the Trauma – Goli otok in the Yugoslav Semiosphere

The paper analyses semiotic processes taking place under the institutional pressure and resulting in the fact that a particular social and cultural community remembers and forgets in accordance with the dictates of the current regime, which means that the collective mnemonic is sometimes even brutally governed by political and ideological centres of authority that generally possess the greatest amount of semiotic power. Therefore the Yugoslav state administration used to be oriented towards forgetting Goli otok, where it relied precisely on the system institutions, particularly on the activities of its intelligence service called UDBA, which handled the camp of Goli otok and imposed a ban on its thematisation. The disappearance from the public discourse was supposed to result in the process of forgetting, while institutional violence and developed social phobia were to silence the witnesses forever. Thus the paper searches for the manifestations of the darkest of Yugoslav taboos, which relates to the greatest amount of institutional violence and repression aiming at forgetting of the trauma of Goli otok. Even though literature is the least controlled discourse, this topic started to be depicted in writing years after the termination of the camp, which incarcerated c. 15000 people from 1949 to 1956. Searching for the forbidden themes of Goli otok, the author analyzes the narrative texts of Dragoslav Mihailović (Kad su cvetale tikve 1968 and Goli otok 1990) and Mirko Kovač (Rane Luke Meštrevića 1971).
Ziemia zapomniana. Dziennik podróży na Ruś Zakarpacką „Z neznámej zeme k Ľ”. Bohuša Nosáka-Nezabudova
Authors: Hudymač Aleksandra
Published: November 2022

Artykuł przybliża treści dziennika podróży Bohuša Nosáka-Nezabudova, Z neznámej zeme k Ľ (Z nieznanej ziemi do Ľ). Autor opisuje w nim swoje wrażenia z podróży na Ruś Zakarpacką. Podwójna perspektywa w widzeniu tej krainy i jej mieszkańców (przestrzeń idylliczna zderza się tu z przestrzenią idylli zdegradowanej) odpowiada podwójności samego podmiotu podróżującego, który rozdarty jest między wrażliwym obserwatorem, kształtującym legendę Rusi jako ziemi zapomnianej i nieznanej, a emisariuszem przybyłym tam z pewnym ideologicznym nastawieniem i budzicielskim zapałem.

Forgotten Land. Bohuš Nosák-Nezabudov’s Travel Journal to Transcarpathian Ruthenia – “From Unknown Land to L”

The article presents the contents of Bohuš Nosák-Nezabudov’s travel journal, From Unknown Land to Ľ. The author describes his impressions of the trip to Zakarpattia Ruthenia. The double perspective in seeing this land and its inhabitants (the idyllic space collides here with the space of degraded idyll) corresponds to the duality of the traveling subject himself, who is torn between adopting an attitude of a sensitive observer who shapes the legend of Russia as a forgotten and unknown land, or an emissary who came there with a certain ideological approach and awakening enthusiasm.
