Comparison of efficacy of Tranexamic Acid Mesotherapy versus 0.9% normal Saline for Melasma; A split face study in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Karachi
Authors: Kaleem Sana , Ghafoor Rabia , Khan Sidra 
Published: June 2020

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of tranexamic acid mesotherapy versus 0.9% normal saline for melasma by split-face study.
Methods: It was a non-randomized clinical trial performed at the Dermatology ward of JPMC from September 2018 to June 2019 after getting approval from the Ethical Committee. A total of sixty patients were recruited in the study, who had symmetrical melasma on their faces. Both halves of the face were treated by Injection Tranexamic Acid (TA) with a dose of 4mg/ml and Normal Saline (NS) two weekly for twelve weeks. Hemi Modified Melasma Area and Severity Scoring (H-mMASI) was calculated at the start and end of the study. Analyses were done by SPSS version 23. P < 0.05 was taken as significant.
Results: Mean of H-mMASI score was compared on both sides at the end of study, which showed significant reduction in mean score from 3.19 ±2.57 to 1.52 ± 1.2 (P < 0.05) on A side as compared to decline in scores on NS side from 3.46 ± 2.7 to 3.45 ± 2.6 (P > 0.05). Erythema, swelling, and burning were documented as temporary side effects on both sides.
Conclusion: Tranexamic Acid (TA) mesotherapy can be considered as the most cost-effective, safe and directly observed therapy for melasma which showed significant improvement when old prior therapies have failed.

Multiplicadores fiscales y efectos de hoja de balance en una economía pequeña y abierta
Authors: López Piñeros Martha 
Published: June 2020

Los multiplicadores fiscales son diferentes según los países y las circunstancias económicas. Los multiplicadores de inversión han sido analizados más recientemente, especialmente para economías avanzadas. Para el caso de economías pequeñas y abiertas, como Colombia, no hay muchos estudios, así como tampoco se describen los mecanismos de transmisión. En este documento se presenta evidencia empírica de los multiplicadores del gasto y la inversión. Posteriormente, se presenta un conjunto de modelos con fricciones financieras que describen los mecanismos de transmisión que explican los multiplicadores de inversión considerando las principales características de la economía colombiana. Los resultados muestran que la evidencia empírica es mejor explicada por los efectos de hoja de balance con contratos nominales. El grado de apertura de la economía, así como los niveles de la rima de riesgo país son elementos esenciales.

Introducción: El objetivo fue desarrollar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala Percepción de Señales de Hambre y Saciedad en Lactantes (EPSHSL). Material y métodos: La muestra estuvo constituida por 354 diadas padres (madre/padre) - lactante que acudieron a Control de Niño Sano en unidades de atención primaria del noreste de México. La evaluación de las propiedades psicométricas incluyó validez de contenido a través de expertos, se estimó consistencia interna mediante el coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach, estructura dimensional por análisis factorial exploratorio, y análisis factorial confirmatorio. Resultados: La EPSHSL se diseñó para ser auto-administrada, valora como perciben los padres las señales de hambre y saciedad que emite el hijo durante la alimentación. La consistencia interna fue adecuada (α=0.95), unifactorial con una varianza explicada de 56.4%. El análisis factorial confirmatorio identifico que el modelo fue adecuado, los ocho índices de ajuste fueron buenos. Las madres perciben mejor las señales de alimentación del hijo que los padres. Conclusiones: La EPSHSL mostro ser confiable con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, puede ser utilizada por pediatras y personal de enfermería en atención primaria para prevenir riesgo de sobrepeso en niños menores de 6 meses de edad.
Masculinity, Migration, and Forced Conscription in the Syrian War
Authors: Monroe Kristin V. 
Published: June 2020

In this essay, I provide a different perspective on the Syrian conflict by examining how the war’s reach can also be located amid the losses, interruptions, and experiences of those Syrians who have until now largely escaped its incredible violence. By looking closely at how the war has altered the life trajectories of and produced distinct modes of vulnerability for military-age men, I develop an argument about how, although they avoid fighting by going to work in Qatar, the lives of a group of Syrian men remain defined by conscription. Through my investigation of how these men are located in a landscape of conscription that extends beyond the borders of Syria, I build on anthropological knowledge of how masculinity is shaped by and through contexts of political destabilization. I demonstrate how, in fulfilling their end of the patriarchal bargain through political obedience and economic production, these men lose a particular stage of manhood and the aspirations, projects, and affective promises it holds.
ملخص

في هذا المقال, أنا أقدم وجهة نظر مختلفة حول الصراع السوري من خلال دارسة واقع الحرب وسط الخسائر, و الانقطاع, و تجارب السورين الذين نجو من العنف, من خلال النظر عن كثب في كيفية الحرب التي غيرت مسارات الحياة التي انتجت انمطاطا مختلفة من الظعف بل النسبة للعسكرين. أنا اطور نقاش حول هولاء الشباب الذين تجنوبو القتال في سوريا من خلال الذهاب الى قطر. حياة هؤلاء الرجال الذين من خلال تحقيقي في مشهد التجنيد الاجباري الذي يمتد الى ماوراء حدود سوريا الى حياتهم كعمال في قطر. أنا أعتمدت على المعرافة الانثروبولوجية حول كيفية تشكيل الرجولة من خلال زعزعة الاستقرار السياسي. أنا أشرح كيف الوفاء من ناحيتهم يتمركز من خلال الطاعة السياسية و الانتاج الاقتصادي. أما الرجولة بشكل خاص تبقى تطلعاتها و مشاريعها و وعودها العاطفية بعيدة الانظار في ظل استمرار الازمة السورية
“Bloomluxuriance”
Authors: Phelan Joseph 
Published: June 2020

Joseph Phelan, “‘Bloomluxuriance’: Compound Words in the Poetry of the 1830s and 1840s” (pp. 1–23)
The brief interregnum between Romanticism and Victorianism saw the emergence of and retreat from a number of formal and linguistic experiments in poetry. One of the most striking of these is the ostentatious employment of compound words; the early verse of Alfred Tennyson and some of his less-illustrious contemporaries is littered with coinages such as “tendriltwine,” “mellowmature,” and “bloomluxuriance.” The impetus behind this phenomenon came from developments in philology that emphasized the affinities between English and German and from the attempt to broaden the range of English verse by naturalizing metrical forms such as the hexameter, and was often associated with an impassioned if politically unfocused radicalism. In revising “Œnone” for republication in his 1842 Poems, Tennyson excised almost all of these compound words, a gesture of linguistic conformity that is the stylistic counterpart to what Isobel Armstrong calls the “loss of nerve” apparent in his work during this decade, and one that is paralleled in the work of some of his contemporaries. This experimental impulse did not disappear from Victorian poetry completely, however, and its survival helps to explain some of the quainter and more ungainly phenomena of later nineteenth-century verse.

<p>Based on observations of a grade 10 social studies-track 2 class, students appeared less active in learning. Many students in the class looked sleepy, were too embarrassed to ask questions, did not want to join in discussions with their friends, and were too lazy to do the tasks. This research aims to understand whether the Team Game Tournament (TGT) method can increase the activeness of students. The method of Classroom Action Research is the model Kemmis and McTaggart administered in two cycles. The research was done at a school in Makassar with 25 students from the grade 10 social studies-track 2 as research subjects. The data were collected using mentor observation sheets, students' questionnaires and reflection journals. The results of the analysis show that the students’ activeness in participation, students’ activeness in sharing opinions, and students’ activeness in listening and discussing have reached the standard of success and received a "good" minimum predicate with 68%, 72% and 92% respectively. Over all, the result of this research can be concluded that TGT method can improve student learning activity.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Hasil observasi dalam kelas menunjukkan bahwa siswa kelas X IPS 2 kurang aktif di dalam pembelajaran.
