Thrombectomy for proximal intracranial occlusion beyond 24 hours after time last seen normal: A narrative review
Authors: Jafri Neda , Dasgupta Savanna , E. Siegler James
Published: October 2023

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) revolutionized the treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Current guidelines published by multiple academic societies recommend EVT for eligible patients who present within 24 hours of the time last seen well. However, more recent data suggests that extending this window past 24 hours produces more favorable outcomes in specific patients presenting with anterior circulation LVO. More specifically, recent observational data indicates a higher probability of functional independence, functional improvement, and long-term survival with EVT when compared to best medical management. Based on the available data, there is unclear equipoise in randomizing all patients with acute ischemic stroke due to LVO to EVT or medical management. However, for those patients with large established infarction, distal occlusions, or well beyond the 24-hour window, randomized clinical trials are called upon to determine whether there is benefit of EVT in these patient groups. In this narrative review, we will summarize the most recent data on EVT in the ultra extended window (>24 hours after time last seen normal) and discuss further considerations of this treatment.
Driving Unit Design for Driving on Roads and Rough Terrain

Published: October 2023

The applications of robots are increasing progressively along with their capabilities. A driving unit is an essential element in any robot and the performance of the robot is directly related to its performance. This study aims to design a transmission that adopts multiple caterpillar and wheel driving arrangement with low contact pressure for versatile applications. The limitations of similar previous studies are highlighted and a practical model to address them is presented. FEM analysis and formulae are applied for system optimization. Driving and switching can be done using a pair of motors and actuators connected to the rear wheel. The wheel axis is mechanically connected to the motor and the tension is adjusted by pose change through the actuator of the outer pulley on the parallel axis. This helps to overcome the problem and allows continuous operation by eliminating the delay time when switching a driving pose. The stability of the system is verified through stress analysis of the deceleration system, where the largest torque is applied internally. Finally, the validity of the proposed design is proved through the fabrication of a mock-up model of actual size.

Indonesia is an agricultural country because most of the population works in the agricultural sector. One of them is from agricultural products, namely rice. The milled rice produces rice and rice husks. Rice is used by the people of Indonesia as a staple food. Meanwhile, rice husks and ashes have not been utilized optimally. Seeing the great potential of rice husk and ash, efforts have been made to optimize the use of rice husk and ash as composite materials. The research aimed to obtain tensile strength, bending strength and porosity analysis of each composite using 230 mesh size rice husk particles or rice husk ash. The different volume fraction variations are 25% rice husk particles or its ashes and 75% epoxy matrix for the first variation, while for the second variation, it is 40% rice husk particles or its ashes and 55% epoxy matrix. The process of making composite materials was carried out using the hand lay-up and vacuum bag method with the test sample size according to the test standards used, namely ASTM D3039 for tensile strength testing and ASTM D790-61 for bending strength testing. The results of the mechanical properties test obtained the greatest tensile strength value in the epoxy composite reinforced with rice husk ash (40% wt) of 12.73 MPa and the greatest bending strength was in the epoxy composite reinforced with rice husk (40% wt) of 63.87 MPa. Preliminary characterization of rice husk and ash-reinforced epoxy composites met SNI standards.

Field experiments on the incidence of B. tabeel and yellow mosaic of groengram. revealed that more population of white fly and the incidence of the yellow mosaic disease occurred in the crops sown during summer months and maximum was recorded in the crops sown during April. Simple correlation studies of white tly population and yellow mosaic disease incidence with the weather factors revealed that maximum tempe rature was positively correlated with the white fly population at 20 and 30 days old crop and with the disease incidence when the crop was 45 days old. Multiple regression studies revealed that the partial regression coefficient on maximum temperature alone was the important variable in predicting the white fly population one week ahead of the incidence and the partial regression co-efficients on maximum temperature, rainfall and white fly population were the important variables in predicting the disease.

With a view to study the usefulness of the naturally occurring radioactive K-40 in characterising the labile pool of soil K as a meaure of available K. a study was undertaken with eleven Hawaiian soils representing different stages of development and fertility. Labile pool was determined using K-40 as tracer and this was compared to X extracted by successive leaching of soils with 0.01 M CaCl. exchangeable K and X romoved by 4 week old corn seedlings grown in pots. Labile pool K is very closely related to plant uptake and so can be used as a successful parameter in characterising soil K fertility status.

The experiment on the relationship between paddy stem-borer incidence and diffe- ent levels of nitrogen application on high yielding varieties of paddy demonstrated that the increase in the nitrogen level invariably resulted in increase in the stem-borer infestation. However, this corresponding increase of infestation did not counteract the yield potentials of the varieties, which, in fact, rose up with increase in the nitrogen level to 150 Kg N/ha. At 200 Kg N/ha, the yield did not increase and remained on par with that of 150 Kg N/ha. Amongst the varieties IR 20 and Vijaya recorded mini- mum infestation of paddy stem borer at all levels of nitrogen application while IR 8 was found to be the most susceptible strain.

The root distribution patterns of high yielding rice varieties (IR 8. IR 20, IR 22. Co 29. TKM 6. ADT 27, Co 33. Co 34. Co 35. Co 36 and Bhavani) in their natural habitat in fields using pt plant injection technique were studied. The results revealed that 55 to 75 per cent of roots were concentrated in the soil zone covered by 10 cm lateral distance and 16 cm depth from the base of the plant and 80 to 85 per cent in the soil zone covered by 15 cm lateral distance and 24 cm depth. Heading stage was found to be the best stage for taking soil-root core samples for evaluating the root distribution pattern. Slight variations were observed among varieties in the percentage root distribu- tion in the soil zone covered by 10 cm lateral distance and 16 cm depth but the root distribution in the soil zone covered by 15 cm lateral distance and 24 cm depth was almost same for all the varieties. Neither nitrogen levels nor different spacings of planting influenced the root distribution. The method of phosphorus application either broadcasting after last ploughing or broadcasting before last ploughing also had no influence on the rooting pattern of the rice crop.

Published: October 2023

The magnitude and nature of heterosis and combining ability in a set of diallel crosses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. om Theil.). involving five genotypes, were studied for grain yield, 100-kernel weight, spike number and plant height. Positive overall heterosis was observed for all the characters except for 100-kernel weight. Over dominance was evident only for grain yield. Heterosis and over dominance effects for grain yield were positive in all the crosses except Sharbati Sonora x IR Amber, where partial-dominance for yield was observed. For kernel weight except the cross WG 423 x Sharbati Sonora. negative heterosis was observed. Heterosis ranged from 20.54 to 64.95 per cent and over- dominance effects from 26.16 to 38.85 per cent for spike number. For plant height heterosis was positive in eight crosses and over-dominance in one cross only. Both GCA and SCA variances were significant for all the characters except in the case of number of spikes where the GCA variance alone was found to be significant. For grain yield the magnitude of GCA and SCA variances were of the same order. For other characters the GCA variances were of relatively higher order than the corresponding SCA values. The additive effects were predominant in general. For grain yield, however, dominance/ over-dominance effects were equally important.

Published: October 2023

Aim of study: In terms of treatment, it is essential to consider the correct use of preservatives and epoxy resin. Lumber pretreated with these substances can protect the wood from biodegradation or insect attack for exceeding three-year life expectation periods. Methods: To further increase durability and structural integrity, Posttreatment like painting or lamination on wood surfaces helps keep moisture out and carries a higher yield compared to traditional methods. In addition, chemical treatments to make timber resistant to fungal infestations as well has been gaining traction recently which makes it possible for lumber to be used in even more applications safely than ever before. Results: Thus, proper treatment plays a major role when considering the implications of using lumber as a resource both structurally and functionally over time. Conclusion: Lumber remains one of the most sought-after resources due to its versatility; likewise finding ways how impart maximum longevity necessitates research into new treatments available so that we can optimally exploit such abundant supplies without compromising the durable nature of good quality timber source.

Elizabeth Robins's Alaskan Fiction and the Global New South
Authors: Charlton Ryan
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: In the summer of 1900, at the height of the Nome gold rush, actress and soon-to-be suffragist Elizabeth Robins traveled to Alaska. Following her return, Robins published two novels and several stories set in the region. Yet even as she capitalized on the popularity of gold rush settings and tropes, Robins's Alaskan fiction consistently undermines the romantic mythology that typically characterizes gold rush narratives, highlighting instead the environmental and human degradation that gold mining entailed. Focusing primarily on her novel The Magnetic North (1904) and the connected story "Monica's Village" (1905), this essay explores how Robins's Alaskan fiction recycles US Southern plantation mythology in order to imagine an alternative form of Alaskan development, one that would transform Alaska's Indigenous population into a racialized labor force to be exploited in ways comparable to African Americans under Jim Crow. Though the environmental conditions of Alaska foreclosed the possibility of traditional plantation agriculture, Robins's fiction maps plantation dynamics onto the forms of mineral extraction transforming the region. In doing so, these texts reveal the pliability of the plantation imaginary as well as the global scope of plantation modernity. This essay argues that the Plantationocene offers a useful framework for reconsidering the intertwined histories of plantation agriculture and mineral extraction. Robins's vision of Alaska as a New South ultimately highlights the ways in which mineral extraction in the Far North follows a pattern established by plantation agriculture throughout the Global South.
Purification Rituals in Joyce
Authors: Benjamin Roy
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In this study I examine Joyce's complex and often contradictory relationship to purification rituals. On the one hand, he rebelled against such rituals insofar as they equated sexuality with defilement and virginity with purity. On the other, as Beckett pointed out, there is a continual purgatorial process at work throughout the Wake, often involving the purgation of the sin of pride. Joyce also exploited the ambiguity of such substances as blood that alternately defile and purify. In addition, he alludes to many rituals in which those who were supposed to be protected and purified become victimized and defiled.
" To be Fula Is to Be Noble and Proud ": How Pulaaku and Contemporary Social Media Are Shaping Diasporic Fula Identity
Authors: Konare Dougoukolo Alpha Oumar Ba , Hellweg Joseph
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: Individuals claiming Fula ethnicity are indigenous to some twenty African countries. Their diaspora has spread across the globe. Historically, Fula culture has centered on a code of conduct called pulaaku. Pulaaku indicates a way of life aimed in part at preventing shame. Pulaaku reflects shared images of Fula archetypes. Academic literature has presented pulaaku as a fundamental component of being Fula. Yet, contemporary Fula living in modern urban settings, whom Ba Konaré calls "Fulapolitans" (see Selasi 2005) are rarely familiar with a pastoral way of life. This article attempts to delineate the concept of pulaaku in contemporary urban settings, with reference to interviews. The results offer grounds to critique the contemporary understanding and experience of pulaaku among Fulapolitans and to highlight recent situational uses and re-appropriations of the concept.
« Dire ou ne pas dire » : le gatekeeping comme forme d'autolégitimation de l'indicible journalistique dans un contexte de violences terroristes
Authors: Yaméogo Lassané
Published: October 2023

RÉSUMÉ: Cet article s'appuie sur la théorie de gatekeeping pour explorer la manière dont la violence terroriste est mise en visibilité ou en invisibilité dans le discours journalistique au Burkina Faso. À partir d'entretiens approfondis réalisés auprès de onze journalistes reporters de cette conflictualité et de quatre responsables éditoriaux, il montre que la collecte, le traitement, et la diffusion de l'information obéissent à des mécanismes de filtrage auxquels participent des acteurs du champ et des acteurs non journalistiques. Le dicible et l' indicible résultent de considérations professionnelles et d'engagement patriotique. La survie de la nation est la référence autour de laquelle se construisent « le dire » et « le ne pas dire », le dévoilement et l'autocensure. ABSTRACT: This article uses gatekeeping theory to explore how terrorist violence is made visible or invisible in journalistic discourse in Burkina Faso. Based on in-depth interviews with 11 journalists reporting on this conflict and four editorial managers, it shows that the collection, processing, and dissemination of information are subject to filtering mechanisms involving both journalistic and non-journalistic actors. The unspeakable and the unspeakable result from professional considerations and patriotic commitment. The survival of the nation is the reference point around which 'saying' and 'not saying', disclosure and self-censorship, are constructed.
Dictatorship, Trauma, and Scriptotherapy in Remi Raji’s A Harvest of Laughters
Authors: Adebiyi-Adelabu Kazeem
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: This article examines how Remi Raji, a third-generation Nigerian poet, reenacts the social pains and “dis-eases” of the military dictatorship era in Nigeria in A Harvest of Laughters as traumatogenic, as well as how the poet writes himself out of the trauma. While the article espouses the extant critical notion that the poet offers laughter to the victims of structural violence, social pains, and “dis-eases” of the military rule era in the country as a balm, it complicates the view by arguing that the poet’s versification in the volume and, more importantly, his infatuated exploration of laughter is readable as scriptotherapy. The poems titled “Introit,” “I rise now,” “Gift,” “Black Laughter,” “Silence,” “Silence II,” “Orphan Cry”, and “Harvest I–VI” are used to demonstrate this. The analysis draws anchor from Laura Brown’s and Stef Craps’s conceptions of trauma and Geri Chavis’s and some other psychological therapists’ insights on writing and therapy.
Heteronormative Plots and African Feminine Powers in Buchi Emecheta’s The Rape of Shavi
Authors: Anand Nikita , Parag Kumar , Prakash Aditya
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: Buchi Emecheta’s The Rape of Shavi (1985) is representative of African women’s subordination in “motherhood,” “body movements” (used for communication in the absence of any bridge language), and “marriage” after the arrival of a group of uninvited exclusively white people (albinos) from England in the land of Shavi, a land that was abundantly blessed with a robust matriarchal spirit and self-sustaining powers of African women. This article examines how African women novelists shaped heteronormative plots as a compulsory gendered perspective for articulating the politicized disappearance of African femininity left for organizing African manhood and the masculine principle of the social, political, and heterosexual in a community like Shavi. Extending old Shavian men’s vision, Queen Mother attempts to reawaken European visitors’, such as Flip, Mendoza, Ronje, Andria, and Ista, struggle for a heterosexual role and desire limited to their race so as to save Shavian women from the men’s sexual advances and to assist Shavian women in the preservation of African virtues such as hospitality, cooperation, equality, and love besides protection against Western and young Shavian men’s critical and oppressive attitudes. This article thus contributes to persistent discussions on heterosexuality, the masculinity-femininity division, and heterosexual imaginary.
Arctic Ghosts: Whale Hunting and Haunting in Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Captain of the ‘Pole-Star’”
Authors: Alder Emily
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Over-hunting in Arctic seas drove bowhead whales ( Balaena mysticetus ) nearly to extinction by the end of the nineteenth century. Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Captain of the ‘Pole-Star’” (1883), inspired by his youthful 1880 voyage on the Scottish whaling ship Hope to the Greenland Sea, shows a nascent awareness of the implications of this ecological tragedy. The ghostly figure heard and seen in the story is on one level the spirit of the captain’s lost love, and on another a spectral trace of the lost bowheads. Conan Doyle’s Arctic ghost binds the personal grief and longing of the captain to the wider grief and longing of a late-Victorian culture becoming aware of its own environmental responsibilities and reaching belatedly toward wildlife protection.

Authors: Huaxin Li
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The article examines the national and cultural factors influencing the development of Chinese musical culture, with a focus on the integration of genres and forms within the international context. The study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the main trajectories of Chinese musical culture, particularly piano culture, as a conceptually integral national phenomenon. The research methodology employs historical, structural-typological, and comparative-analytical methods. Through the research process, it was discovered that the creation of a unique system of musical thinking in China relies on adapting external influences to the national artistic representation and aesthetics, shaped by a global perception. Among composer's approaches, arrangement and cyclicity emerge as the most specific types of thinking, facilitating the harmonious integration of traditions with modernization and the incorporation of Chinese music into the global context. This research opens up prospects for analyzing the piano heritage from the perspective of musical anthropology.
THE IMAGE OF SERVICEMEN WITH DISABILITIES IN UKRAINIAN ONLINE MEDIA: PROBLEMATIC AND THEMATIC ASPECT OF PUBLICATIONS
Authors: Polumysna Olha
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The article examines the problematic and thematic aspect of publications in Ukrainian online media about military personnel who became disabled as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war, classifies the messages by topic and identifies legal, social, medical, rehabilitation, psychological and educational aspects; the problems that most often concern this category of people are identified. The study uses the methods of analysis, classification, synthesis, monitoring and statistical calculation. The author emphasizes the conflicting attitudes of the state, Ukrainian society and the media towards servicemen and women with disabilities caused by war. The positive attitude of the state and medical professionals towards them and their glorification in the media correlates with the bureaucracy of state institutions, disrespect for the military, for volunteers with disabilities, lack of digitalization and proper information, poor quality medical services, extortion of bribes for granting disability status, negligence and unpreparedness to work with the military, and inaccessibility to various institutions, lack of systematic modern rehabilitation, which forces Ukrainian military personnel to travel abroad to receive quality treatment and prosthetics, a paucity of publications on psychological and educational topics, ambiguous attitudes in society, as people have not yet been able to develop a culture of communication with people with disabilities, and a lack of information in the media. It has been found that in some media there is a tendency to increase the number of publications about servicemen who have received disabilities as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war, while in some publications there is no such tendency.

CRIMEAN OCCUPATION AND UNCLOS DISPUTE SETTLEMENT: NAVIGATING TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY AND NON-RECOGNITION
Authors: Gorbun Olesia
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The article examines the interplay between the Crimean occupation and UNCLOS compulsory dispute settlement procedures, exploring how the fact of Crimea’s occupation can be established and UNCLOS dispute settlement procedures applied. It also investigates the contradiction within the Annex VII Arbitral Tribunal’s award in the Coastal State Rights Dispute due to Crimea’s occupation. The study concludes that to address violations made by the Russian Federation under the provision of UNCLOS Crimea’s occupation, Ukraine can seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice. Strengthening Ukraine’s position requires a legally binding decision on Crimea’s occupied status and Ukraine’s coastal state status, possibly through an ad hoc tribunal with jurisdiction. Supporting evidence from other courts may be valuable, despite their lack of direct jurisdiction over the matter of occupation. The article also discusses the principle of nonrecognition and the tribunal’s neutral approach to accommodate both parties in its award in Coastal State Rights Dispute.
ISSUES OF COPYRIGHT FOR OBJECTS CREATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Savchenko Viktor , Tsvar Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The paper substantiates the problem of recognising artificial intelligence as the author of intellectual property objects. The conditions of copyrightability and the possibility of compliance of copyright objects created by AI with such requirements are given. The article contains answers provided by artificial intelligence at our request. The article issues of types of objects that AI can create are being studied. Authors paid attention to problems of compilation and plagiarism in things made by AI. The research proves that objects created by AI can meet all copyrightable requirements. The authors emphasised that the only exception is the normative condition that only a human can be the author. It was concluded that the impossibility of recognising AI as the work's author is an artificial limitation. The authors emphasised that such a paradigm will change in the future. The authors suggest that the current state of AI is very close to the stage of deterministic understanding of human free will. AI is a surrogate representation of human intelligence with similar properties for analysis, self-improvement, and decision-making.
