Published: November 2022

Background: There is a significant presence of Vitamin D deficiency in the Middle East, and among school children, and university students, in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: to explore the Knowledge, Attitude and Perceptions of the population towards Vitamin D in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Method: It was a cross-sectional study of 880 subjects, who gave their responses through an online Google form. A standardized questionnaire on assessment of Awareness, Knowledge, Attitude, and the Practice of Vitamin D consumption among the General population was used. In addition the Fitzpatrick scale of skin types IV – V, was used. The software SPSS (IBM compatible version 23), was used to analyze the data. Chi square test was used. The level of significance for the present study was 0.05. Results: 373 subjects (42.4%) consumed Vit. D supplements; the majority of them were females (70.8%). There is no relationship between Vit-D consumption and level of education. It was significantly related to light or pale white-type of skin; and associated with hearing about Vit. D from media or friends and family or health professionals. Use was associated with significantly more knowledge about availability of Vit-D in fortified food, nuts and dairy products. They also knew that exposure to sunlight was important for source of Vit. D. They had reasonable knowledge about the importance of Vit. D. They think that dietary sources of Vit. . D are not sufficient to maintain Vit. . D levels, and knew that Vit. D prevents rickets, and is important for hair growth. There was a lack of knowledge about the RDA for Vit. D. There was significant association between taking Vit. D supplements and wearing sunscreen. Conclusions: The majority of participants possessed good knowledge about Vitamin D and they identified sun exposure as the main source of vitamin D. However, there is a lack of consistency between knowledge and attitude towards improving vitamin D levels in their sera. This indicates the need to improve awareness among the Saudi population by providing specific guidelines about the frequency, duration, optimum season and amount of exposure to sunlight required, as well as the importance of fortification of food.

Many people practice placing various things in their ears to remove earwax, known as self-ear cleaning. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of self-ear cleaning of the community in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out for more than six months. After institutional research ethics approval was obtained for the study, a structured self-response questionnaire was provided to the participants. Results: 631 (70%) participants completed the study questionnaire. More than 42% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that cotton buds should be used to clean the ears. Most participants disagreed with the statement that it is best not to clean the ears. More than two-thirds (75.8%) of the participants knew that cotton buds could cause ear infections, 78.9% knew that cotton buds could cause eardrum perforation, and 85.6% knew that cotton buds could push ear wax deeper into the ear. Considering the tool used for self-ear cleaning, almost two-thirds (68.6%) re-ported using cotton buds. No complications due to self-cleaning of the ear were reported in 65%, while 16.2% reported pain because of self-cleaning, while 16% of the participants reported otitis externa. Conclusion: The general population in the Riyadh region had a moderate to a good level of knowledge about self-ear cleaning and its complications. However, a low attitude towards cleaning with a cotton bud was the primary tool used to clean the ear. About two-thirds (65%) of the participants reported complications due to self-cleaning. 16.2% reported having pain due to ear self-cleaning.

Published: November 2022

Aim of Study: To identify the extent and causes for prolonged patient waiting times and overcrowding at the Radiology Department (RD) in Aseer Central Hospital, Abha City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study design was followed. It included 107 staff members at the RD in Aseer Central Hospital. A data collection tool was designed by the researchers and used for data collection. Results: 51.4% of patients were referred to RD from the outpatient clinics, 27.3% were referred from the ED, while 21.3% were inpatients. Monday and Tuesday were the most overcrowded days at the RD (33.3% and 20.8%, respectively). Almost half of the patients (47%) stayed in the waiting area for 1-3 hours. Patient waiting times differed significantly according to their days of received radiologic services, with the longest waiting time being on Wednesday (44.4%, p=0.021), and according to patients provided radiologic services. The most frequently stated causes by the radiology staff for overcrowding at the RD were the “huge number of patients received directly from the community who did not go via a primary health care center”; “the large number of non-emergency patients” and the “socially recommended cases sent to RD via the ED” (45.8%, 32.7% and 29.9%, respectively). Conclusions: Patient waiting times are unduly prolonged. It is mostly 1-3 hours. The main bulk of overcrowding comes from patients referred from the outpatient clinics. The main causes for overcrowding are the excessive number of non-emergency, unscheduled patients, and the socially recommended cases, in addition to the shortage of specialist radiology physicians. Recommendations: There is a need to implement an elaborate system to organize unscheduled patients, who may crowd out other emergency patients and to allocate a special radiology section for patients referred from the ED. To increase the number of serving specialist radiologists at the RD of Aseer Central Hospital. To enforce provided radiology services at primary care centers in Aseer Region.

Published: November 2022

Background: Skin cancer, as one of the most common cancers, is partly associated with environmental conditions. Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental factors on the incidence of skin cancer. Methods: The dataset contains the age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of skin cancer in all provinces of Iran during a six-year period of time. Also, there were meteorological variables for a 29-year period for the provinces. We used the mean of meteorological variables for the 29-year period for each province as predictors. The ASR of skin cancer in each province in six years was considered as the response variable. Also, gender, latitude, altitude, wind speed, relative humidity, cloudy hours duration, and maximum air temperature in each province were considered independent variables. A mixed effects polynomial regression model was applied to data analysis. Results: Based on the applied model, the trend of ASR of skin cancer in different provinces was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The ASR of skin cancer for males was more than the females (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the positive linear effect of latitude was significant (P = 0.002). However, the quadratic term showed a deceleration in the growth rate of skin cancer incidence with increasing latitude. Furthermore, there was a positive significant impact of altitude on skin cancer incidence (P = 0.045). Conclusions: Health policymakers in their prevention planning should consider geographical conditions as influencing factors on skin cancer incidence. Moreover, men should be given more attention as the main group at risk for this cancer.

Authors: Russo Irene , Cazzolla Sara , Pampaloni Francesca , Alaibac Mauro
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Omalizumab has been recently registered as a third-line therapy for chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to provide real life data by reporting our experience with omalizumab in the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was conducted on 40 patients affected by chronic spontaneous urticaria and treated with omalizumab at the Dermatology Unit of University of Padua, Italy.Demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data have been collected.
Results: Overall, the majority of patients (23 patients, 57.5%) achieved complete recovery by taking omalizumab and 17.5% (7 patients) had a partial response. The majority of patients who did not have a response to omalizumab had a BMI> 25 kg/m2.
Conclusions: Our study suggests that omalizumab is a safe and effective treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria. We identified BMI as a critical biological factor that significantly impacts the outcomes of omalizumab treatment. Our findings also suggest a potential use of BMI as a predictive biomarker for omalizumab treatment. An updosing of omalizumab may be proposed in patients with high BMI to achieve a better control of the disease.

Authors: Uyar Belkiz , Elmas Ömer Faruk , Kilitçi Asuman
Published: November 2022

Angiomatoid Spitz nevus is an uncommon histopathological variant of Spitz nevus that is most frequently seen on the extremities of children and young adults. Dermatoscopic features of this unusual variant have rarely been reported. We presented a 19-year-old female diagnosed with angiomatoid Spitz nevus based on the clinical, dermatoscopic, and histopathological findings.

Polarized-light dermatoscopic examination showed a red structureless background, white lines reticular, numerous coiled vessels without specific arrangement and surface scale.

Although the dermatoscopic findings we described in this case can be observed in SN in general, we believe that the predominancy of coiled vessels may be an important clue to the angiomatoid variant of SN.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Vitiligo is an acquired disease of complex pathogenesis, in which the immunologic attack to the skin and hair follicle melanocytes leads to areas of depigmentation and leukotrichia, respectively.
Objectives: To study the dermoscopic features of the hair changes in vitiligo lesions in comparison to perilesional control areas and in relation to disease duration.
Methods: Forty-seven patients with both old and recent vitiligo lesions were included. Dermoscopic features of hair within the lesions were examined and compared to those in perilesional non depigmented skin of the same patient.
Results: Hair density (P < 0.001), terminal hair rate (P = 0.011), terminal to vellus hair ratio (P = 0.029) and mean hair shaft thickness (P = 0.031) were significantly decreased, whereas vellus hair rate (P = 0.011) was significantly increased in old vitiligo lesions compared to their respective control areas. The frequency of broken hair was significantly higher in old lesions (P < 0.001), while that of upright re-growing hair was significantly higher in recent lesions (P = 0.016).
Conclusions: Hair involvement in vitiligo lesions is not only limited to the development of leukotrichia. Other subtle changes in hair density, anagen and telogen hair rates, and mean hair thickness can be detected. These changes may serve as objective clues to the duration of the lesions.

Authors: Winkler Julia K. , Haenssle Holger A. , Uhlmann Lorenz , Schweizer-Rick Anissa , Fink Christine
Published: November 2022

Introduction: UV irradiation of nevi induces transient melanocytic activation with dermoscopic and histological changes.
Objectives:We investigated whether UV irradiation of nevi may influence electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) or convolution neural networks (CNN).
Methods: Prospective, controlled trial in 50 patients undergoing phototherapy (selective UV phototherapy (SUP), UVA1, SUP/UVA1, or PUVA). EIS (Nevisense, SciBase AB, Sweden) and CNN scores (Moleanalyzer-Pro, FotoFinder Systems, Germany) of nevi were assessed before (V1) and after UV irradiation (V2). One nevus (nevusirr) was exposed to UV light, another UV-shielded (nevusnon-irr).
Results: There were no significant differences in EIS scores of nevusirr before (2.99 [2.51-3.47]) and after irradiation (3.32 [2.86-3.78]; p=0.163), which was on average 13.28 (range 4-47) days later. Similarly, UV-shielded nevusnon-irr did not show significant changes of EIS scores (V1: 2.65 [2.19-3.11]), V2: 2.92 [2.50-3.34]; p=0.094). Subgroup analysis by irradiation revealed a significant increase of EIS scores of nevusirr (V1: 2.69 [2.21-3.16], V2: 3.23 [2.72-3.73]; p=0.044) and nevusnon-irr (V1: 2.57 [2.07-3.07], V2: 3.03 [2.48-3.57]; p=0.033) for patients receiving SUP. In contrast, CNN scores of nevusirr (p=0.995) and nevusnon-irr (p=0.352) showed no significant differences before and after phototherapy.
Conclusions: For the tested EIS system increased EIS scores were found in nevi exposed to SUP. In contrast, CNN results were more robust against UV exposure.

Background: Due to the chronic, recurrent nature of Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and lack of definitive treatment for the disease, patients often resort to alternative treatments. Physicians seem to have low awareness of this issue.

Objectives: To elicit the perceptions of 1,621 PV patients on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and examine factors reported to worsen PV.

Methods: The patients’ sociodemographic characteristics, Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), disease duration, and severity were recorded, and the patients’ CAM use was questioned in detail. The patients were also asked about factors that worsened PV and their experiences with a gluten-free diet.

Results: Of the patients, 56.51% had used CAM. The mean age, illness duration, PASI score,s and DLQI of those using CAM were significantly higher. CAM use were significantly higher in those with facial, genital involvement, and arthralgia/arthritis. The patients mostly referred to CAM when PV became severe (46.4%). Of the CAM users, 45.52% used herbal topicals. The physicians of 67.03% did not inquire whether they used CAM. Of the participants, 37.73% considered that stress worsened their disease. Gluten-free diet did not affect PV symptoms in 52.22%.

Conclusions: Patients’ CAM use is often overlooked by dermatologists. Our results showed that more than half the patients used CAM and did not share this information with their physicians. Therefore, the awareness of physicians should be increased and patients should be asked about the use of CAM and directed to the appropriate medical treatment options by physicians.

Introduction: Transepidermal drug delivery,  using “laser-assisted drug delivery'', or microneedling, are new treatment modalities, that can improve drug penetration into skin in treatment of alopecia areata patients.
Objective: To evaluate the use of fractional carbon dioxide laser versus microneedling in transepidermal delivery of triamcinolone acetonide and platelet rich plasma in alopecia areata treatment.
Methods: Interventional comparative study carried out on 60 patients, randomly divided into four equal groups. Group I :Fractional Carbon dioxide laser and triamcinolone acetonide. Group II: Microneedling with Dermapen and triamcinolone acetonide. Group III: Fractional Carbon dioxide laser and Platelet-rich plasma. Group IV: Microneedling with Dermapen and Platelet-rich plasma. Patients were assessed clinically, using Severity of Alopecia Tool score and hair regrowth scale, and dermoscopically.
Results: In all treatment groups, there was improvement in the Regrowth scale, with statistical significance between the different groups at fourth (p= 0.001*) and last (p= 0.008*) visits, with highest, most significant changes in Pen-Steroid group. Comparing Regrowth scale at last visit,  results were in favor of dermapen, compared to Carbon dioxide laser for Transepidermal drug delivery (p=0.023*); and in favor of triamcinolone acetonide, compared to Platelet-rich plasma as topical medication (p=0.015*). Dermoscopic signs of improvement included decrease in black dots, and appearance of Upright regrowing hairs (p= <0.001*).
Conclusion: Microneedling and fractional Carbon dioxide laser can be effectively used for transepidermal drug delivery for Alopecia areata treatment. Microneedling for delivery of Triamcinolone acetonide showed best treatment outcomes. Dermoscopy can be used in alopecia areata for evaluation of treatment response.

Methodology: In the qualitative phase, the study conducted two in-depth interviews, aiming to build a survey considering the main behavioral, normative, and control consumer beliefs. In the quantitative phase, an online survey was conducted. We analyzed 114 responses from sustainable cosmetics consumers, using SEM.
Findings: The results revealed a correlation between purchase intention, consumer attitude, and perceived behavioral control. Although the perceived behavioral control was considered significant, it has a small influence when compared to the individual’s attitude toward the behavior. This means that the stronger the advantages and benefits of using the product, the more likely the consumer is to buy and use it. Also, environmental engagement was proven to positively influence consumer behavioral and normative beliefs. It indicates that the more environmentally engaged the consumer, the greater the advantages the individual perceives in buying sustainable cosmetics.
Theoretical contributions: The study extends the theory by determining a model with a significant ability to explain the environmental engagement in sustainable cosmetics’ purchase intention. Regarding consumer behavior, this research has shown that personal feelings are the main influencer of purchase.
Relevance/Originality: The increase in sustainable consumption has attracted the attention of the most diverse market segments. This study brings light to new propositions concerning purchase intention and environmental engagement by proposing, testing, and validating a model in the context of sustainable cosmetics.
Oecon-uddannelsen på AAUBS - Pluralisme og Problem-based learning
Authors: Olesen Finn , Madsen Mogens Ove
Published: November 2022

Med den seneste internationale finanskrise i 2007/8 som baggrund har der fra forskellig side været sat et særligt fokus på, om de studerende nu bliver undervist i økonomi på den mest givende måde. Hvilke fortællinger om økonomi skal de studerende præsenteres for? Og hvilke undervisningsmæssig tilgange er mest hensigtsmæssige i henseende til at få de studerende gjort til selvstændige og kritisk reflekterende kandidater i økonomi? På Aalborg University Business School har vi i mange år forfulgt en pluralistisk tilgang. Vi bestræber os på at give de økonomistuderende en så fyldig værktøjskasse som muligt indeholdende forskellige økonomiske teorirammer og en flerhed af metoder, ligesom de gives flere muligheder for at skrive projekter i løbet af studiet. Problembaseret læring i Aalborg er velafprøvet og har i virkeligheden været på banen mange år før der blev efterlyst nye undervisningsformer inden for økonomi.

Lacanian perspective on bias in language
Authors: Einersen Anna Franciska , Villesèche Florence , Houpalainen Astrid Sofia
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we contribute to the study of gender bias in organizations by showing how adopting a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective helps us study bias in language while not separating language from the speaker. We use career narratives from female professors to exemplify our argument. We argue that coming into being as a performing subject means satisfying the desire of an organizational, academic other, and argue that this other’s desire rests upon a masculine ideal. To support our arguments, we present and analyze narrative excerpts and show how making it for women in academia is constrained by the continued experience of bias—manifested in language—leading to an unresolvable split between striving to be a successful  woman in academia and meeting the masculine-centered standards for the ideal worker. The Lacanian approach thus allows us to show how gender bias is simultaneously contested and reproduced in the career narratives of women with successful careers in neoliberal academia. We conclude the paper by addressing the broader implications and limits of a Lacanian perspective for studying and tackling (gender) bias in organizations.

In this article we present our view on artistic research both in principle and through an art work which comprises both artistic practice and research. Our intention is to emphasize the notion of artistic research in contrast to research [udviklingsvirksomhed] which we ind to be, for strategic reasons, a problematic notion in regard to positioning the field in international as well as in national contexts.
Læring i kreative organisationer
Authors: Danneskiold-Samsøe Ida
Published: November 2022

The article deals with learning in artistic organizations. The focus is centered on how organizations learn through interpretation and talks about action, in order to provide a basis for development. In artistic organizations the creative process as well as the inal art product is carrying meaning and has its own unique character and importance. To transfer learning from one project to another can be complex, because it is an open question what experience, it makes sense to use from project to project. The empirical material for the PhD project is collected at Aarhus Theatre, where I am doing a case study. The organization is chosen because the theatre continuously strives to improve its organizing around the plays through permanent evaluation meetings. At these meetings the work processes connected to the staging of the plays are evaluated by employees. The activities of Aarhus theatre is cyclical, but with the specific structure that new artists, new managers in the figure of directors and set designers enter as project staf from the outside (almost) every time a new process is begun. In this article, I put the focus on the challenges of evaluation in the light of this construction.

Værket – nærhed, medialitet og procesreleksion
Authors: Christoffersen Erik Exe
Published: November 2022

Denne artikel forsøger at fortsætte den debat om aktuelle forskydninger i værkbegrebet og værkanalysen, som Laura Luise Schultz påbegyndte i Peripeti nr 18, 2012. Hovedpointen er her, at værkbegrebet i stigende grad er blevet uafgrænset og åbent, idet tilskueren, produktionsforholdet og relationen til konteksten spiller en rolle i værket. Pointenfor Schultz er ikke, at værkbegrebet dermed er opløst, men at værkanalysen må medtænke lere værkdimensioner.Jeg tager udgangspunkt i værket Manifest 2083, som er et samarbejde mellem instruktøren og dramatikeren ChristianLollike, skuespilleren Olaf Højgaard og dramaturgen Tanja Diers.
“Døden er en mester fra Tyskland”
Authors: Christoffersen Erik Exe
Published: November 2022

Skakten er et stykke om historiens nytte eller byrde om man vil. Med reference til Nietzsche spørger forestillingen, om vi skal misunde dyret, som er befriet fra historien og lever i nuet? Eller er vi afhængige af, at vores identitet farves af historiske nationale og globale tilhørsforhold? Og hvordan skal historien fortælles? Som underholdning, fx i form af Hollywoodfilm eller som traumatiserende realisme?

Dokumentarisme som funktion
Authors: Holm Mortensen Johan
Published: November 2022

Citing the notion of the author-function by Michel Foucault this article proposes a description of documentarism as a discursive function, presented by the staging in the relationship between the audience and discursive authority of the work. The documentarism of the staging of Henrik Ibsens An enemy of the people by Thomas Ostermeier is analysed from the perspective of the situation of address.

“Opera is an omnivorous monster. Opera is the result of countless skilled craftsmen, technicians, musicians, singers, artists and administrators work. Opera is passion. Opera is lie and truth in the purest form” as stage director Kirsten Dehlholm wrote in the program to Rachmaninov Troika – hers and Hotel Pro Forma’s staging of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s three operas: Aleko, The Miserly Knight and Fransisca da Rimini produced by the Belgian opera, La Monnaie in Brussels, June 2015 - the first time these three operas were being staged together. In this article we discuss the concept of the art work by examining how Rachmaninov Troika balances between 1) revitalizing these three more or less forgotten music historical operas and/or is creating a new piece of work.
Intermedial Performance
Authors: Christoffersen Erik Exe
Published: November 2022

Hotel Pro Forma er et yderst kvalificeret bud på den performative kunst, der opstod i 90’erne. Der var primært en fokusering på materialer, mediers opførelsespraksis, en undersøgelse af kunstneriske kommunikationshandlinger i tid og rum. Hotel Pro Forma udnytter forskellige mediers opførelses- og fremstillingstraditioner, tilskuerpositioner, tekster, lys, objekter og kuratering af bevægelsesmåder. Opførelsesformer, konventioner og tilskuerpositioner bliver geniscenesat som handlinger i tid og rum. De bevæger sig mellem teater, billedkunst og udstilling, opera og rumkunst. Teatret er inden for de sidste 30 år i stigende grad blevet intermedialt og performativt orienteret og inddragelse af fx video, billedprojektioner og lysteknologi har været medvirkende til at ændre teatret. Hotel Pro Forma har bidraget til denne proces, hvor hørelse og syn, rum og billede adskilles og sættes sammen på nye måder. Det betyder at værkerne skaber et polyfont eller mangestemmigt rum, hvis grundlag er dissensus. I mange år har der været en distinktion mellem performance og teater og senere postdramatisk teater og dramatisk teater. Det går tilbage til avantgardens opgør med tekstteatret. Men disse distinktioner er vanskelige at opretholde, fordi der forekommer en konstant udveksling mellem scenekunst, som et iscenesat fællesskab og som et differensrum med en flydende dramaturgi og en permanent gentænkning af de intermediale muligheder, der opstår, idet værket tænkes performativt med vægt på den reale kommunikative handling i tid og rum mellem scene og tilskuer. Hvorfor blir' det nat mor? (1989) gør selve tilskuersituationen til en handling, som involverer flere forskellige sanser som syn, hørelse, vestibulære og proprioceptive sanser og skaber en opmærksomhed på, at interferensen mellem forskellige medier inden for samme værk, skaber en erfaring om mediers forskellige funktionsmåde, og dermed også en erfaring om at sanser og viden som sådan er medialiseret i interne hierarkier, som kan forskydes og forandres. Ekspliciteringen af mediernes forskellige funktionsmåder frisætter så at sige kunstgreb som konventioner, der kan vælges eller fravælges. Dermed bliver det også muligt at skabe modsætninger eller kontraster mellem forskellige sanse og perceptionsformer indenfor samme værk.
