Da San Diego e Tijuana a Venezia: Border Art oltre i confini
Authors: Masala Andrea 
Published: February 2020

Only one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in 1990, another border could be observed at the Aperto section of the Venice Biennale. It was the work Colón Colonizado – Tutto è Mio – ¿De Quién? by the Border Art Workshop/Tallér de Arte Fronterizo (BAW/TAF), a binational collective of artists from the San Diego-Tijuana border region. The project corresponds to the first landing of Border Art overseas, but also to the dissolution of the BAW/TAF. The work is therefore subject and conductor of the essay. Its site-specificity aspects are deepened in relationship to the Biennale’s exhibition context. The analysis of this case study will present the Venice Biennial as a key moment and a stage for the transformation of the border space from geographical-territorial to mental and conceptual.
Dak’Art. Biennale de l'Arte Africain Contemporain
Authors: Pattaro Chiara 
Published: February 2020

Dak’Art, the Dakar Biennale of Art was devised in Senegal in 1989 as the Biennale de Dakar des Arts et des Lettres but – after an edition committed only to literatures, the Biennale des Lettres in 1990 – was achieved in 1992 as the Biennale Internationale des Arts de Dakar. Its creation is influenced by Leopold Sedar Senghor’s ideas: between 1960 and 1980, he was the first President of Independent Senegal and was always a passionate promoter of African art and culture. Under his government the nation developed a flourishing cultural context that will later lead to the birth of Dak’Art which, from its second edition in 1992, is exclusively dedicated to visual arts. This essay describes history, management and organization of its editions, until 2014, analysing some artists and artworks as case histories. The study identifies therefore the characteristics of a Biennale that is purposefully Pan-African, committed to giving visibility and prominence to African contemporary art, which is still poorly represented in the international art system.
L’Argentina alla Biennale d’Arte di Venezia
Authors: Pepa Paola Natalia 
Published: February 2020

The presence of Argentinian art at Venice Biennale was hosted for the first time in 1901, and then in 1903 and 1922. Argentina, not owning a building at the Giardini venue, showed its artists in the Central Pavilion, in collective or solo exhibitions, since when in 1972 the Argentinian artists took part at the newly founded Latin American Pavilion. In 2011 an arrangement was set to give it a space – finally the Argentina Pavilion – in the Sale d’Armi at the Arsenale. Other important presences were for instance, Lucio Fontana, Nicolás Garcia Uriburu, Oscar Bony and León Ferrari, who was awarded as Best Artist in Biennale during 2007. In conclusion, a comparison is carried out between some significant examples in the lagoon event, up to the most recent participants of last years.
La tradizione manoscritta delle epigrafi latine di Tarentum
Authors: Gallo Annarosa 
Published: February 2020

Manuscripts with texts of Tarantine inscriptions date back to the 15th and 17th centuries and contain transcriptions by foreign and local scholars. The oldest manuscript containing Tarentine inscriptions is the Marucellian Code A 79 1, followed by the Vat. lat. 6039, 5237, 5241. In particular, the Vat. lat. 5241 preserves a trace of A. Paglia’s research on the impulse of Aldo Manuzio the Younger. However, also local scholars dealt with Latin inscriptions in their works: among these we note Giovanni Giovine and Ambrogio Merodio. Merodio’s transcriptions were inadvertently used by Mommsen, through the work of the Abbot Pacichelli. Most of the few inscriptions reproduced in the manuscript tradition (eight epitaphs and two honorary dedications) are now lost and were originally found in churches where they had been reused as spolia.
Tradizione giurisprudenziale manoscritta dei Digesta e tabulae ceratae da Londinium: TLond. 55 e 57
Authors: Nasti Fara 
Published: February 2020

The comparison between the texts of the Roman jurists (which we know in a fragmentary way thanks to Justinian’s Digesta) and the records of specific cases helps us to better understand some aspects of the formation of Roman law. In these pages, I discuss two tabulae ceratae found at Londinium and edited by Tomlin in 2016. Concerning TLond. 55 – already studied by Camodeca and Nasti in 2017 – a better comparison is offered between its formula of stipulatio, which appears in the text (curari... dari), and the one included in two passages by the Roman jurist Labeo (D. 12.1.42.1; D. 45.1.67.1). With regards to TLond. 57, I provide here a first tentative interpretation. The document seems to be related to the trial and to the procedural representation.

Authors: Raymond Jacqueline , Sealey Rebecca , Naumann Fiona , Rooney Kieron , English Timothy , Barry Ben , Groeller Herb 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
Background: Clinical placements and assessment are an essential part of education to become a health professional. However, quality assessment in a clinical environment is challenging without a clear representation of what constitutes competence. The aim of this study was to establish core clinical learning competencies for Australian exercise physiology students.
Methods: This study used a mixed-methods, multiphase approach. The competencies were developed following electronic surveys and focus groups, with additional refinement provided by the project team. Preliminary validation was conducted via electronic survey where (i) participants rated the importance of each unit of competency for entry-level practice, and (ii) participants who had recently graduated (n = 23) rated the extent to which they perceived they were competent in each unit.
Results: The competencies are described as 19 elements organized into 6 units. The units are (i) communication, (ii) professionalism, (iii) assessment and interpretation, (iv) planning and delivery of an exercise and/or physical activity intervention, (v) lifestyle modification, and (vi) risk management. Of 126 survey participants, the majority (93%–98%) considered each unit as being important for entry-level practice. The majority (78%–95%) of recent graduates considered themselves competent in each unit, suggesting the competencies are articulated around the level of a new practitioner.
Conclusion: The core clinical learning competencies resulted from an extensive, iterative process involving those with expertise in the area. The competencies have a range of applications, including informing the development of a student placement assessment tool for use in a clinical placement environment.

Published: February 2020

Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common spinal cord disorder that develops in elderly people. Anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) is an effective and reliable procedure for the treatment of CSM.
Objective: To find out the results of ACDF by cervical cage with bone graft for the treatment of single level cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Orthopedics, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, over a period of two years from March 2015 to August 2017. Forty patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were diagnosed on the basis of presenting complains, clinical examination and investigations and were enrolled in this study. The history of the patients was collected, clinical examination was done and relevant investigations were done for each patient. In this study, Nurick grading and VAS scale were used for evaluation of the result.
Result: Male gender was predominant in this study; male-female ratio was 2.63:1. Mean age of the patients was 45.9 ± 9.1 years within the range of 30-65 years. Both sides were affected in 14 (35.0%) cases, only right side was affected in 15 (37.5%) cases and only left side was affected in 11 (27.5%) cases. Involved disc spaces were C3/4 (10.0%), C4/5 (22.5%), C5/6 (42.5%) and C6/7 (25.0%). Transientdysphagia was observed in 2 (5.0%), transient para paresis in 1 (2.5.0%), wound infection in 1(2.5.0%) case and damage to the dura was observed in 1 (2.5.0%) case. Signs of fusion were observed in 10 (25.0%) cases after 3 months, 30 (75.0%) cases after 6 months and in all patients after 12months. The result was found to be excellent in 35 (87.5%) and good in 5 (12.5%) cases.
Conclusion: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion by cervical cage with bone graft is an effective procedure for management of CSM.

Authors: Rana Rachana Singh , Bajracharya Leena , Gurung Reeta 
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Keratoconus (KC), is a bilateral, noninflammatory degenerative disease of the cornea which is characterized by progressive corneal ectasia and loss of visual function. The onset of KC is commonly seen at puberty and affects approximately 1 in 2000 in the general population.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical profile of keratoconus in the tertiary eye centre in Nepal.
Material and methods: It is a retrospective, hospital based, consecutive study from June 2017 to May 2018. A total of 66 patients (114 eyes) were diagnosed cases of Keratoconus presented in Cornea clinic of Tilganga institute of Ophthalmology. Parameters investigated included patients’ demography, keratometric readings, visualacuity and manifest refraction. Classification of keratoconus was based on Amslern-Krumeich grading system (modified).
Results: The mean age of subjects was 18.73 (range: 10-65). Male/female distribution was 48 (72.7%) and 18 (27.3%) respectively. 48 (72.7%) had bilateral keratoconus and 18 (27.3%) were unilateral. Mean Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.80 (range: 0.01-1.00), mean visual acuity ( VA) with spectacle correction was 0.47 (range: 0.01-1.00). Mean spherical amount of refractive was –2.17 (range: −0.50 to −17.00D) and mean cylindrical amount of refraction was -2.85 (range: 0.00 to −6.00). Mean spherical equivalent (SE) of refraction was −4.26 (range: −0.50 to −22.50D). Mean flattest keratometric reading (K1) was 49.63 (range: 40.63-76.70D) and mean steepest keratometric reading (K2) was 53.14 (range: 41.63-73.21D). Mean average keratometric reading was 51.43 (range: 41.63-72.10D). Regarding disease severity, 35.68% of subjects were classified as mild keratoconus, 29.73% as moderate keratoconus, 9.73% as advance keratoconus, while 24.86% were found with the severestage of keratoconus. 78.9% of total eyes presented with minimum pachymetry of 401 to 500 mm.
Conclusion: Clinical profile of Nepalese keratoconus patients looks similar to that reported earlier worldwide. The condition was found to manifest at a younger age and was more common in males.

Authors: Hah Yan Yee , Ho Su Ling , Teoh Stephen Charn Beng , Agrawal Rupesh 
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Intraocular lymphoma is rare. There are very few studies on intraocular lymphoma published from Asian countries.
Objective: To report our case series of intraocular lymphoma patients from a tertiary eye centre in Singapore.
Subjects and methods: Nine patients with intraocular lymphoma managed between January 2005 and December 2014 were identified from Ocular Autoimmune Systemic Inflammatory Infectious Study (OASIS) database. Demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, investigations performed and outcomes recorded.
Results: There were almost equal distribution between males (four patients) and females (five patients) with mean age of presentation was 60.3 years. Five patients had bilateral involvement and vitreo-retina was the most common site of infiltration. All of our patients had central nervous system involvement although four of them had presented with ocular manifestations initially. Anterior chamber fluid cytology, as a less invasive alternative to vitreous analysis was proven to be useful. The time from ocular presentation to diagnosis of ocular lymphoma was variable; from one day to 18 months. Mortality in our study group was 55% with death occurring 1 month to 8 years from diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma.
Conclusion: Intraocular lymphoma is a masquerade syndrome that mimics chronicuveitis and poses a diagnostic challenge. The diagnosis is often delayed and despite the eventual diagnosis, the disease prognosis is poor even with aggressive treatment.

Published: February 2020

Pemerintah menargetkan Indonesia bebas lokalisasi Prostitusi pada tahun 2019. Banyak penelitian menemukan bahwa menutup lokalisasi tidak menyelesaikan permasalahan prostitusi tetapi justru menciptakan permasalahan baru. Pemerintah Kota Semarang pada Tahun 2018 mengeluarkan statement ke media massa mengenai penutupan Lokalisasi SK yang akan ditutup pada Desember Tahun 2018. Tahapan rencana pelaksanaan penutupan telah disusun, struktur tim pelaksanaan penutupan pun telah terbentuk namun hingga sekarang penutupan tersebut urung dilaksanakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses kebijakan penutupan SK. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi dan penelusuran studi pustaka. Informan penelitian ditentukan secara purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan penutupan lokalisasi SK tidak bisa dilaksanakan tepat waktu karena adanya hambatan-hambatan dari internal maupun eksternal birokrasi. Interprestasi subjektif dari Dinas Sosial dan Bappeda Kota Semarang tidak bergerak pada satu tujuan yang sama. Partisipatif dan responsivitas kelompok sasaran kebijakan rendah karena menolak kebijakan.Â The government freed Indonesia to free Prostitution in 2019. Many studies have found that closing localization does not resolve the debate. Semarang City Government in 2018 stated to the mass media about the closure of the Localization of the Decree, which will be closed in December 2018. This study discusses to analyze the decision process of the Decree. This research uses descriptive qualitative method through in-depth interviews, observation and literature study search. The research sample was purposive sampling. The results showed the closure of the SK localization policy could not be carried out on time because it had to do with internal and external bureaucratic obstacles. Subjective interpretation of the Semarang City Social and Bappeda Office does not move in the same direction. The participation and responsiveness of policy targets are low because policies rejected.
