Experimentaciones artístico-tecnológicas en la Argentina de los años sesenta: el rol de los nuevos medios en torno al Instituto Torcuato Di Tella
Authors: Adler Jazmín
Published: November 2023

Durante los años sesenta, el Instituto Torcuato Di Tella devino en el centro neurálgico de las experimentaciones de vanguardia que tuvieron lugar en Argentina. Las actividades organizadas por su Centro de Artes Visuales impulsaron diversas obras, prácticas y experiencias sustentadas en las nociones de novedad y modernización. A lo largo del presente artículo, se analiza el papel que los cruces del arte y la tecnología desempeñaron en el Instituto, los cuales permitieron profundizar la misión de innovación perseguida por el Di Tella de cara a posicionarse como un espacio de referencia para la emergencia del arte contemporáneo. Luego de examinar las principales obras exhibidas que exploraron los nuevos medios tecnológicos, el escrito concluye que uno de los aspectos distintivos del Instituto Di Tella radicó en propiciar un ámbito de convivencia para las obras que incorporaron explícitamente a las tecnologías y los proyectos que encarnaron la novedad sin hacer uso preeminente de aquellas, en tanto unas y otros permitieron forjar una nueva concepción artística.
¿Vidal o Zurita? Sí, por favor: la escritura del duelo y su doble obsceno
Authors: Pastén Ignacio
Published: November 2023

En la escritura de la transición hacia la democracia chilena, el poeta José Maximiliano Díaz González (1959-), conocido en el quehacer literario como Bruno Vidal, se erige como pilar fundamental de la enunciación política y militante del periodo. En el siguiente artículo busco dar cuenta cómo la aparición de la escritura de Vidal discute cierto paradigma poético anquilosado en una versificación melancólica y mesurada. Para esto, propongo la comparación de formas tropológicas presentes tanto en la escritura de Vidal como en la escritura de Raúl Zurita (1950-), poeta representante de esta otra tradición. Me valgo en mi artículo de conceptos prestados del psicoanálisis, como lo son el duelo, la melancolía, la perversión y la histeria, para diagramar el panorama poético del que me hago cargo y así llegar a puerto con una conclusión que haga converger ambas poéticas como una cinta de moebius, en la que el anverso se toque con su reverso.
La ciudad del futuro como enigma. Cruces entre Di Benedetto, Bradbury y Truffaut
Authors: Benegas Felipe
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo analiza el relato de ciencia ficción “En busca de la mirada perdida”, de Antonio Di Benedetto, a partir de la consideración de las relaciones que establece con la novela Fahrenheit 451, de Ray Bradbury, y con la versión cinematográfica que realizó de esa novela Francois Truffaut. Di Benedetto utiliza los andamiajes del género para pensar la ciudad del futuro como enigma –es decir más allá de toda respuesta unívoca–, y traza una síntesis superadora de la novela de Bradbury y la película de Truffaut, acercándose con su planteo a las problemáticas propias de nuestro tiempo, como la de la consideración de las posibilidades para la vida en comunidad, según el uso que hacen de este concepto autores como Giorgio Agamben y Franco Berardi.
Cuando las entrañas son paisaje: diálogo entre la imagen poética de Alejandro Albarrán y el mesh de Timothy Morton
Authors: Alfonso García Alethia
Published: November 2023

El artículo propone un diálogo entre algunos poemas incluidos en Persona fea y ridícula (2017) de Alejandro Albarrán y nociones como the mesh y OOO (object-oriented-ontology u ontología orientada al objeto) de Timothy Morton. La lectura e interpretación de los poemas de Albarrán tiende un puente a la ecología oscura de Morton, porque la poética resultante sobrepasa la idea de paisaje y naturaleza, permite el uso de mesh (malla) como sustituto de naturaleza interconectada. La poética de Albarrán y el pensamiento ecológico de Morton son radicales al orientarse a los no-humanos.
El cuerpo hipervinculado. Deslizamientos por el net art argentino
Authors: Martin Nadia
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo aborda el modo de representación del cuerpo humano en dos obras de arte producidas en la etapa “heroica” del net art por artistas argentinos; a saber: Epithelia (1999) de Mariela Yeregui e Hyperbodies (2000) de Gustavo Romano. Para ello, repone brevemente la historia del término net art y define un abordaje de carácter intermedial (entre lo verbal y lo visual; y entre la materialidad programable del código binario y la materialidad de superficie de la interfaz web). Se trata de cuerpos fragmentarios que se ofrecen a su exploración táctil mediante etiquetas de enlaces. Se concluye que las lógicas hipervinculares propias de la red Internet que estas obras exploran, generan un modelo del cuerpo que (fuera del orden indicial del contacto) corta su lazo existencial con algún principio de realidad. Sin anclaje a la materia carnal, a un supuesto esencial o sustancial del cuerpo, y como puro discurrir en tanto signo desatado de su objeto, emerge el cuerpo hipervinculado.
La mirada entre texto y fotografía: el libro-arte de Sophie Calle
Authors: Caminada Rossetti Lucía
Published: November 2023

En este artículo la propuesta es trabajar aspectos fundamentales de la percepción e interpretación entre el acto de contemplar, de mirar y de observar en el libro-arte Douleur exquise (1985-2003) de la artista contemporánea francesa Sophie Calle (1953). ¿Cómo leer un libro-arte en el cual se cruza la fotografía y la palabra? ¿Cómo posicionarse entre el acto de leer y de mirar?. En esta obra, se dislocan los espacios y la miradas lectoras y espectadoras ante la fotografía y el texto en interacción. Dispositivos visuales (fotografías) se entrecruzan con aquellos textuales (literarios), creando espacios intersticiales entre imagen y escritura. Se analizan las secuencias del libro-arte, en la construcción del dolor, en los estudios del retrato, del autorretrato, lo íntimo, el diario de viaje y la iconografía de la artista, que se manifiestan como técnicas y estrategias visuales y de interpretación. El autorretrato, el diario íntimo, el punctum y la iconografía de la autora, son recorridos por el campo experimental de la fotografía y la literatura, colocando ante una mirada dislocada al lector-espectador, en la encrucijada entre ver y leer, observar y analizar.
Usos del tachado. Espacialidad y procedimientos de composición
Authors: La Rocca Paula
Published: November 2023

En este trabajo reunimos cuatro producciones recientes de artistas de latinoamérica, Federación Libertaria Argentina (1997-2001) de Magdalena Jitrik (2016), En nuestra pequeña región de por acá de Voluspa Jarpa (2016), la serie Construcción de escaleras de Alejandra Bocquel (2015) y El orÉgano de las especies de Mauro Cesari (2011). El eje transversal es el procedimiento compositivo de tachado, marca principal en el trabajo de los textos. Los abordamos desde la espacialidad del soporte y consideramos los alcances del procedimiento en una doble relación. Primeramente, como modo de intervención material sobre los textos, es decir, como marca sobre las superficies. Luego, como lugar de revisión de procesos históricos. Con este abordaje buscamos determinar las relaciones entre lo decible y lo visible que funcionan en estos materiales estéticos.
Índices para una lectura enciclopédica de César Aira
Authors: Casanueva Reyes Loreto Estefanía
Published: November 2023

En el último lustro, la obra del autor argentino César Aira (1949), compuesta por más de un centenar de textos, ha sido leída en clave enciclopédica, a partir de la publicación de compilaciones que integran en sus títulos sugerentes conceptos como “catálogo”. El propio Aira, tanto en textos de crítica literaria como en novelas, ha jugado con tales dispositivos, integrando listados de escritores latinoamericanos, componiendo antologías críticas, o bien creando personajes que, debido a sus particulares oficios, requieren de instrumentos de orden y selección. El presente artículo propone poner en diálogo tales publicaciones con el fin de entender el catálogo, según sea el caso, como un índice que permite aprehender el vasto cosmos escritural de Aira o bien como un tema que propicia el desarrollo de personajes coleccionistas.

Published: November 2023

One of the main problems of modern big city is the global crisis of normal urban environment operation as a result of structural growing of automobilization level, oversaturation of road-street network by the transport streams. Buses of the especially large size class occupy, at the least, 20% in the structure of a modern bus park. The buses of especially large size classes, with the aim of necessary maneuverability, as a rule are made articulated.One of the ways of improving the maneuverability of articulated buses is the usage of guided towed sections. Solving the mentioned problem usually needs the mathematic models for predicting the vehicle behavior.The aim of introducing the trailer direction is to increase the overall traffic lane of an articulated bus that ensures a necessary maneuverability. The aim is gained by a choice of a rational transmitting ratio of trailer axle gear and necessary value of braking moment on one of its wheels.The solving of the problem concerning the stability of an articulated bus with a guided trailer axle was made by the way of analyzing the linear approaching of stationary vehicle movement.An influence of the construction parameters of the bus and the trailer, a transmitting ratio of control gear and a value of braking moment on the parameters of bus maneuverability were analyzed. It was proved that for an articulated bus, the normal maneuverability parameters can be ensured at the trailer direction by a way of braking of one of the wheels.

Accounts receivable and payable are one of the most common types of financial instruments of agricultural enterprises. Until recently, such debt was considered a traditional accounting object with established recognition rules, cost measurement and disclosure. However, since the end of 2019, the valuation of such financial instruments has changed due to introducing the present value as a priority for its long-term type. The article aims to reveal the methodology for determining the present value of long-term debt as the most common type of financial instrument. The specifics of the application of the present value for the assessment of long-term debt were disclosed. It was substantiated which types of such debt are subject to the discounting requirement and which are not. The problem points of introducing a new type of assessment, which affect the data of financial statements, were identified. The article contains the necessary data and rules for the most reliable calculation of the present value of long-term receivables and long-term liabilities as financial instruments. The study results show that for the most accurate and objective determination of the present value of long-term receivables and long-term liabilities as financial instruments, the agricultural enterprise needs to record the methodology of cost measurement of such objects in the Regulation of accounting policy. In particular, it is necessary to specify the object (which type of long-term debt is subject to discounting and which is not), the calculation (formula), the variable (discounting rate selection procedure) and the documentary (a form of the primary document) components.

In order to effectively manage the company's resources, it is necessary to draw up financial plans, control the flow of income and expenses, and correlate strategic and managerial decisions with the current economic situation. These tasks can be implemented through budgeting. The article aims to generalize the theoretical and methodological principles of budgeting and management reporting and substantiate recommendations for their improvement based on the analysis of best international practices. It was determined that budgeting is considered as: 1) a management function characterized by general scientific and practical approaches to the goal, purpose, tasks and functional content; 2) an element of the management accounting system concerning management reporting. The factors causing the problem of low budgeting efficiency in Ukrainian enterprises were disclosed. The research draws a parallel between traditional budgeting systems, which have proven themselves in the practice of Ukrainian enterprises, and innovative ones of foreign origin. It was proposed to use instrumental technologies of Lean and frugal production in budgeting. It was recommended to develop the ideology of budgeting based on the philosophy of praxeology. This approach will increase the role of budgeting in making managerial decisions. It was determined that an important element of the budgeting process is the internal management reporting system, which is formed in connection with the design and content of budgets. Innovative budgeting methods are factors in the development of the management reporting system. Management reporting should be improved in terms of form, content and design. The authors consider the design of management reporting as a bridge between the executor and the consumer of the information product, capable of increasing the level of understanding and trust between the management accounting accountant and the decision-making centre, i.e. the manager (owner).

The chart of accounts provides for maintaining active, passive and off-balance sheet accounts. Analysis of practical situations shows that some passive accounts are not purely passive, and some active ones are purely active. Such accounts are active-passive. The article aims to justify the need for a wider use of active-passive accounts by individuals and legal entities when repaying debts by crediting counterclaims. The content, structure and procedure for using active-passive accounts for accounting settlements with legal entities and individuals were disclosed in the work. On active-passive accounts, settlements are kept with such legal entities and individuals whose nature of debt is constantly changing: debtors turn into creditors and vice versa. It was substantiated that using active-passive accounts for enterprises that carry out mutual settlements and have counter-obligations is advisable. In addition, mutual obligations arising between enterprises can be settled by offsetting counterclaims. This form of settlement allows the repayment of mutual obligations without counter-payments between enterprises. Enrollment of opposing uniform claims is carried out to terminate mutual obligations from receivables and payables that arise between business entities when they conduct opposing transactions. Crediting of counterclaims can be carried out upon the application of one of the parties to terminate obligations or upon the conclusion of an agreement on the crediting of counterclaims and an act of reconciliation of the offset of mutual debt. The debtor transfers the difference that arises after crediting counter-obligations to the creditor. The expediency of the widespread use of crediting counterclaims during settlements with suppliers and buyers has been proven. Examples of the accounting of transactions for crediting mutual claims were given.

In an unstable external environment, an urgent task for enterprise managers is to determine a pricing strategy based on internal accounting and financial data to preserve the market position in the long term. The article aims to form a model for making strategic management decisions in the field of pricing at enterprises of the commercial sector of the economy based on accounting and analytical data on the costs of the enterprise. Analysis of accounting and financial models of strategic pricing at enterprises based on market, cost and mixed approaches was carried out. Accounting and financial models of price calculation based on accounting data on the costs of production and sale of products, as well as analysis of the life cycle of products, taking into account the expected rate of return, are given. It was determined that the basis of the market approach to price determination in the long term is the life cycle of products, which allows setting a competitive price for products taking into account the stages of market development and the position of products on it. The characteristic stages of the product life cycle are product development, market use, growth, maturity, and decline. The article analyzes the process of incurring costs at all stages of the product life cycle, which is the accounting and financial basis of strategic pricing at the enterprise and management in the long term. The cost approach involves the application of mark-up to various types of pricing for the base (variable costs, production cost of products, full costs of production and sale of products). It reduces managers' motivation for strategic cost management. Transfer pricing methods in the framework of the activities of a group of interrelated enterprises, which can be determined by cost and market approach, were also considered. The research results show that when making strategic pricing decisions, it is necessary to combine market-oriented pricing models and accounting-financial cost pricing models skillfully.

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare, generally aggressive myeloproliferative neoplasm affecting young children. It is characterized by granulomonocytic expansion, with monocytosis infiltrating peripheral tissues. JMML is initiated by mutations upregulating RAS signaling. Approximately 10% of cases remain without an identified driver event. Exome sequencing of 2 unrelated cases of familial JMML of unknown genetics and analysis of the French JMML cohort identified 11 patients with variants in SH2B3, encoding LNK, a negative regulator of the JAK-STAT pathway. All variants were absent from healthy population databases, and mutation spectrum was consistent with a loss of function of the LNK protein. A stoploss variant was shown to affect both protein synthesis and stability. The other variants were either truncating or missense, the latter affecting the SH2 domain that interacts with activated JAK. Of the 11 patients, 8 from 5 families inherited pathogenic bi-allelic SH2B3 germline variants from their unaffected heterozygous parents. These children represent half of the cases with no identified causal mutation in the French cohort. They displayed typical clinical and hematological JMML features with neonatal onset and marked thrombocytopenia. They were characterized by absence of additional genetic alterations and a hypomethylated DNA profile with fetal characteristics. All patients showed partial or complete spontaneous clinical resolution. However, progression to thrombocythemia and immunity-related pathologies may be of concern later in life. Bi-allelic SH2B3 germline mutations thus define a new condition predisposing to a JMML-like disorder, suggesting that the JAK pathway deregulation is capable of initiating JMML, and opening new therapeutic options.

Differences between the Results Assessed by Slit Lamp Examination and Anterior Segment Photography in Terms of Cataract Grading
Authors: Kim Woojin , Yoon Sumin , Kim Dong Hyun , Eom Youngsub , Song Jong Suk
Published: November 2023

Purpose: We compared the cataract grades with slit lamp examination and anterior segment photography using the Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS) III criteria. We also explored the effect of a yellow filter on the photographic results.Methods: Eighty eyes with cataracts were examined by three inspectors (1, 2, and 3). Anterior segment photographs taken by inspector 1 were divided into two groups depending on whether cortical opacity or nuclear sclerosis predominated. In each group, the cataract grades determined by inspector 1 on slit lamp examination and anterior segment photography were compared. Also, after randomly assigning the anterior segment photographs taken by inspector 1 to inspectors 2 and 3, the cataract grades of these photographs were compared to the grades of photographs taken by all inspectors using a yellow filter.Results: The average cortical opacity evaluated by inspector 1 on slit lamp examination (3.48 ± 0.91) was significantly higher than that apparent on anterior segment photographs (2.35 ± 0.77) (p < 0.001). In the photographs, the average cortical opacity when a yellow filter was used was significantly higher for both inspectors 1 (p < 0.001) and 2 (p = 0.022) than when the filter was absent. The average extent of nuclear sclerosis evaluated by inspector 1 on slit lamp examination (4.08 ± 0.94) was significantly higher than that of anterior segment photography (3.73 ± 1.24) (p = 0.042).Conclusions: Cataract evaluation via anterior segment photography underestimates the extent of damage compared to direct slit lamp examination. However, use of a yellow filter during photography aids cataract evaluation, especially cortical opacity.
The Clinical Outcomes of Manual Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorhexis and Precision Pulse Capsulotomy
Authors: Ji Man , Lee Hye Jin , Ha Ahnul , Nam Ki Tae , Jeong Jinho
Published: November 2023

Purpose: To compare the safety and consistency of manual capsulorhexis and precision pulse capsulotomy performed using pulsed energy during bilateral cataract surgery and to explore the differences in clinical outcomes.Methods: A total of 101 patients with bilateral cataracts were selected. Precision pulse capsulotomy was performed on one eye and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis on the other. The independent-samples t-test was used to compare the duration of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, incisional size and roundness, complications such as radial tears, the cumulative dissipated energy, the visual acuity after surgery, and the corneal epithelial cell count.Results: There was no significant difference in the capsulorhexis time between the pulse energy and manual groups. The extent of capsulorhexis was significantly smaller and the circularity of capsulorhexis was higher in the former group. Complications occurred in two manual capsulorhexis patients but in no pulse energy capsulotomy patient. There was no significant between- group difference in any of postoperative visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, or the corneal endothelial cell count.Conclusions: During bilateral cataract surgery on the same patients, precision capsulotomy using pulse energy afforded smaller and more circular capsulorhexis and fewer complications than did manual capsulorhexis. However, there was no significant between- group difference in the postoperative clinical outcomes.
Predictive Accuracy of Refraction after Transscleral Fixation of Intraocular Lenses in Trabeculectomized Eyes with Glaucoma
Authors: Kim Dong Seon , Park Bo Hyun , Kwon Han Jo , Park Sung Who , Byon Ik Soo
Published: November 2023

Purpose: To investigate the predictive accuracy of refraction and any change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after transscleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in trabeculectomized eyes with glaucoma.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy, followed by transscleral fixation of dislocated IOLs combined with vitrectomy. The refraction predicted by the SRK/T formula and the postoperative refraction were converted into spherical equivalents. Predictive refraction accuracies were analyzed when the differences between the two values were within ± 0.5 diopters (D) and ± 1.0 D. The IOP was measured before and after surgery.Results: Eleven eyes of 11 men (mean age, 67.27 ± 10.55 years) were included. The mean axial length was 23.64 ± 1.26 mm; the mean predicted and postoperative refractions were -0.02 ± 0.46 D and -0.80 ± 0.98 D, respectively (p = 0.029). The refractive outcome was more myopic (by -0.78 ± 1.11 D) than predicted. The predictive accuracies were 36.4% and 72.7% when the differences were ± 0.5 and ± 1.0 D, respectively. The IOP did not change during follow-up (13.18 ± 4.56, 12.82 ± 5.88, and 12.73 ± 4.58 mmHg at baseline, 1 week, and 3 months, respectively).Conclusions: In trabeculectomized eyes, transscleral IOL fixation did not affect the IOP, but the refractive outcome was more myopic than predicted. This difference should be considered when choosing IOL target power.

Authors: Kim Jung Dong , Lee Junwon , Yang Jong Yun , Choi Eun Young
Published: November 2023

Purpose: We present a modified, closed-loop scleral fixation technique. We inserted a 4-eyelet intraocular lens (IOL) into the anterior chamber prior to fixation. We investigated the clinical results.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 39 eyes (39 patients) that underwent modified four-point scleral fixation of an inserted lens in our center from May 2019 to June 2022. The surgical procedure features conjunctival peritomy, 4-eyelet IOL insertion, eyeball penetration using a 9-0 polypropylene needle, eyelet placement using an ab externo technique to form a continuous loop, centering of the optic, and tying of a knot. We compared preoperative and 6-month postoperative changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, and refraction errors, and described postoperative complications.Results: The mean patient age was 62 years. The indications for surgery included complicated cataracts (20.5%), aphakia (20.5%), staged surgery for complicated cataract (12.8%), non-traumatic IOL dislocation (30.8%), traumatic IOL dislocation (12.8%), and crystalline lens dislocation (5.1%). The postoperative BCVA (0.40 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) was significantly better than the preoperative BCVA (0.69 logMAR) (p = 0.018). The postoperative spherical equivalent and the target diopter measurement were in high agreement (p = 0.002, intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.616). All of ocular hypertension (7.7%), hypotony (5.1%), bullous keratopathy (5.1%), and macular edema (5.1%) were noted, but 78% of the conditions improved with short-term medication. There was no re-dislocation of a fixated IOL.Conclusions: Our surgical technique simply and rapidly treats aphakia. Optic repositioning was easy, the IOL stability high, and the risk of complications during IOL fixation low.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: To investigate the thickness of the nerve fiber layer-ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (NFL-GCIPL) complex and microvascular macular changes in Korean patients with early Parkinson’s disease using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).Methods: Forty-three eyes of 22 patients with early Parkinson’s disease were included. A control group of 20 patients (40 eyes) was also recruited. The thickness of the NFL-GCIPL macular complex was measured using OCT, and the densities of the superficial and deep macular retinal vessels were evaluated via OCTA in all subjects.Results: The NFL-GCIPL thicknesses of the superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal sectors were 94.70 ± 9.35, 93.32 ± 9.16, 90.18 ± 6.32, and 93.11 ± 8.75 μm in the control group and 92.05 ± 4.96, 91.32 ± 7.48, 84.74 ± 6.82, and 91.32 ± 7.47 μm in the Parkinson’s disease group, respectively; all thicknesses were significantly greater in the control group. The superficial and deep retinal vessel densities did not differ between the two groups.Conclusions: Neurodegenerative macular changes are more obvious than microvascular changes in patients with early Parkinson’s disease. Such neurodegenerative changes should be further evaluated in future cohort studies.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: We report the clinical features, diagnoses, and treatments of patients with neuro-ophthalmological diseases presenting to a tertiary referral center emergency room (ER) of South Korea.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 205 patients who visited the ER of the Asan Medical Center and then were referred to our neuro-ophthalmology department from May 2020 to April 2022. The initial diagnoses of ophthalmology residents were compared to the final diagnoses of neuro-ophthalmologists. We describe the symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments.Results: The median time from the onset of symptoms to the ER visit was 3 days; diplopia (49.1%) and vision loss/a visual field defect (38.9%) were the chief complaints. The most common causes of diplopia were isolated cranial nerve 4 (37.5%), 6 (22.9%), and 3 palsy (18.4%) and supranuclear palsy (9.2%). In patients with vision loss/visual field defect, the most common causes were optic (20.5%), ischemic (17.1%), and compressive (8.0%) optic neuropathies. For 121 cases (59.0%), multidisciplinary consultations with the departments of neurology, neurosurgery, and internal medicine were scheduled. After initial management in the ER, 38 diagnoses (18.5%) changed after evaluation by neuro-ophthalmologists.Conclusions: Over half of all neuro-ophthalmology patients presenting to an ER required comprehensive interdisciplinary evaluation and over a third required inpatient treatment.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: To report a case of orbital infarction syndrome in a patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).Case summary: A 70-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and hypertension was referred to the Department of Ophthalmology for sudden-onset left upper eyelid ptosis after being diagnosed with HLH. After 3 days, the best corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 0.8, while there was no light perception in the left eye. In the left eye, the ocular motility examination showed limitations in all fields of gaze. On fundus examination, optic disc pallor, retinal hemorrhage, and narrowed retinal arteries were observed in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography showed no blood flow in the retinal arteries and veins in the left eye. On neck computed tomography angiography, the left distal internal carotid artery was narrowed. Orbit computed tomography showed exophthalmos and extraocular muscle hypertrophy in the left eye. Orbit magnetic resonance imaging confirmed optic nerve edema, enhancement of the optic nerve sheath, and high signal intensity of the intraocular fat in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed ischemia of the anterior segment and ischemic necrosis of the eyelid in the left eye. The patient was diagnosed with orbital infarction syndrome.Conclusions: Several factors may lead to ischemia of the orbital tissues in patients with HLH, including coagulopathy, an increased incidence of blood clots, and inflammation in the orbit. It is necessary to consider the possibility of orbital infarction syndrome when HLH patients present with visual loss, ocular movement limitations, and anterior segment ischemia.

Purpose: We compared the effects of 0.05% and 0.1% cyclosporine on dry eye symptoms following cataract surgery.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with dry eye syndrome who underwent cataract surgery. The patients were separated into 0.05% and 0.1% cyclosporine groups. Each group had been treated with their routine eye drops for 3 months after cataract surgery. We evaluated dry eye symptoms and signs using the Schirmer test, tear film breakup time (TBUT), corneal and conjunctival staining score, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) testing of the tear film preoperatively and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. We also compared dry eye symptoms between the groups by dividing all patients according to dry eye severity.Results: The study included 84 eyes (84 patients). The 0.05% cyclosporine group had an increase in the Schirmer test and improved corneal and conjunctival staining scores at 3 months postoperatively. The 0.1% cyclosporine group had improved corneal and conjunctival staining scores at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. The OSDI and MMP-9 results indicated a significant decrease in both groups at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. There were no significant differences in the change in dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery between the 0.05% and 0.1% cyclosporine groups. In the patients with level II dry eye syndrome, the 0.05% cyclosporine group showed a significant increase in the Schirmer test compared to the 0.1% cyclosporine group at 3 months postoperatively. The 0.1% cyclosporine group showed a significant improvement in TBUT compared to the 0.05% cyclosporine group at 3 months postoperatively.Conclusions: Both 0.05% and 0.1% cyclosporine are effective treatments for improving dry eye symptoms and ocular surface inflammation after cataract surgery. Both eye drops are considered to have similar effectiveness.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) represent a prioritized program within the framework of the Indonesian government's initiatives, bearing substantial potential to enhance a self-reliant and prosperous Indonesian economy. The village of Tonjong in the Bogor Regency, West Java, exhibits significant potential as a locus for MSME activities. This is evident from the occupational pursuits of the Tonjong village community, ranking third in frequency, engaged as MSME operators. In the era of globalization, marked by the advent of highly sophisticated technologies, a considerable number of MSME practitioners in the Tonjong village remain inadequately acquainted with proficient strategies for digital marketing. Consequently, this circumstance has culminated in diminished sales or revenues for the MSME practitioners producing a diverse array of items such as handicrafts and cassava crackers, among others. This predicament underscores the impetus behind community empowerment efforts, realized through the dissemination of insights pertaining to digital product marketing and innovative diversification of cassava cracker flavours within the Tonjong village. The overarching objective centers on amplifying market appeal and garnering broader public interest in these products. The execution of this exposition is meticulously orchestrated to maximize its allure, facilitating the populace's seamless assimilation of diverse knowledge. The didactic approach extends beyond didactic lectures to encompass practical engagements, exemplified by the direct involvement with a digital product marketing application and the multifaceted cassava cracker production process incorporating an array of flavour innovations. The ramifications of this exposition-induced community empowerment yield multifarious outcomes. Notable among these are (1) on the social front, heightened community collaboration for collective advancement; (2) on the economic axis, the community exhibits elevated determination to ameliorate the socio-economic landscape toward public welfare; (3) concerning the educational facet, the community gains fresh insights into the digitalization product of MSME products and acquires novel knowledge regarding innovative cassava cracker flavour profiles.

The Strengthening Student Pancasila Profile Project (P5) is an implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, in which students undertake a project to enhance their competence and character in accordance with the Pancasila student profile. The community engagement team from Malang State University links the implementation of P5 to themes and project objectives that align with the needs and conditions of our partners. Based on the results of a survey conducted at our partner site, one of the issues identified is a low level of understanding of waste management, especially plastic waste, within the environment of Sidoarjo Public High School 3. Consequently, expert guidance is required to assist our partners in conducting activities related to the production of organic pots from waste materials. This has led to the emergence of an innovation for utilizing and processing waste into organic pots, which can be achieved through P5 activities. The methodology employed in this community engagement project consists of three stages: preparation, observation, and implementation. Data collected include documentation, observations, and the results of respondent questionnaires, which are analysed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this community engagement project demonstrate that students can generate creative ideas to produce a variety of attractive organic pot products from waste materials. Furthermore, the questionnaire survey distributed to training participants regarding the Pancasila student profile achieved a 100% response rate, indicating that the students comprehend the significance of the Strengthening Student Pancasila Profile Project (P5).

Introduction: Hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems have the potential to improve glycaemic control in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). In France, patient technical education and assistance for HCL users is provided by trained nurses from home healthcare providers (HHP). The objective of this study was to evaluate satisfaction of people with T1D with HHP services.

Methods: In total, 35 participants with T1D and a prescription for an HCL system were studied during 3 months after HCL initiation in two French hospitals. A series of questionnaires were completed by participants. The number of planned (per protocol) and unplanned HHP interactions was monitored. Glycaemic control at inclusion and Day 90 was compared; formal statistical testing was carried out post-hoc.

Results: Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) with HHP service was high both at Day 30 (mean CSQ-8 score: 28.9; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 28.0; 29.9) and at Day 90 (29.0; 95% CI: 27.9; 30.0). Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II (HFS-II) score (standard deviation) decreased from 31.2 (±15.7) at inclusion to 23.1 (±16.8) at Day 90.

Participants had a median number of four home visits and two phone calls, but important differences were observed between participants: total interactions with HHP nurses ranged between five and 12 contacts, and 45.7% of participants requested unplanned interactions.

Glycaemic control improved significantly: mean time in range increased from 57.0% (±13.3) at inclusion to 71.4% (±9.4) at Day 90 (p<0.001).

Conclusion: HHP services for early phase HCL implementation were met with high client satisfaction levels. Study results emphasise the need for a personalised HHP approach.
