Knowledge, Indigenous Peoples, and Film: A Critical Analysis of Planting Stories, Feeding Communities
Authors: Aarssen Jon 
Published: May 2021

The findings of academic study too often remain sequestered within academia itself, virtually inaccessible to people who could potentially benefit from them. Academics are becoming increasingly aware and disturbed by the “disconnect” between the studies they undertake, and the people in them. Through trends in Community-Based Participatory Research, participatory visual research, and documentary film, research ‘subjects’ are increasingly becoming partners in the process, with access and control of the results. I first met then doctoral candidate Paul Chaput in the spring of 2014. He had a vision of returning his masters findings to the Indigenous community from which they originated. Not only did he want to return his findings, he wanted to do it in a format that was more culturally appropriate than an online dissertation, one more closely associated to oral traditions that would ‘plant’ a story in the community. He wanted to make a film. My thesis project is a critical analysis of a 22 month long research and creative journey, which culminated in the Documentary film Planting Stories Feeding Communities; the story of the Indigenous creation of Native Studies courses in Ontario high schools. I served the project as videographer, sound technician, editor, director of photography, and co-producer throughout the research and production process, drawing on my previous experience as a semi-professional videographer and photographer. My thesis combines this experience with the deconstruction of the entire film making process in order to offer practical ideas for improving and streamlining the use of participatory film-making within geographical research.

Published: May 2021

This study analyzes consumer loyalty from attitudes on credible knowledge sources and the emotional experience due to the first perception Data was collected from 107 smartphone users through questionnaires and interviews. The SEM-PLS compound technique was used to analyze the data with a pathway mediated by the comfort decision of credibility on brand loyalty. The results show that there is a positive correlation between a consumer's attitude and brand credibility. Furthermore, experiential marketing positively influences the brand hallo effect and consumers attitude, which directly impacts decision convenience, brand credibility and loyalty. However, there is a negative relationship between decision convenience and brand loyalty. Similarly, a decision convenience relationship has not processed credibility in brand loyalty. This study shows that customer loyalty can be influenced by their attitude, which provides a positive signal to brand credibility. The examined Model helps managers understand how the branding process investment may provide confidence in brand loyalty based on comfortable brand decisions.

Published: May 2021

Background: The increase of life expectancy in Indonesia causes increasing numbers of dementia, mostly caused by Alzheimer's disease (AD). High serum cholesterol level has been suggested as a risk factor for AD. The strongest evidence linking lipid profile with AD provided by previous experimental studies where adding or reducing cholesterol altered amyloid precursor protein (APP) and amyloid ?-protein (A?) levels is the basic of this research.
Objective: To determine whether lipid profile is associated with cognitive function deterioration of geriatric outpatients at Neurology Clinic Gunungsitoli Regional General Hospital.
Methods: Participants of this cross-sectional study were outpatient geriatric patients at Neurology Clinic Gunungsitoli Regional General Hospital (n=85; mean age, 62.46±5.49 years old). The cognitive state was evaluated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian Version (MoCA-INA) and those with MoCA-INA score <24 were considered cognitively declined. Concentrations of serum lipid profile were measured and correlated with cognitive state using Pearson’s correlation. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for cognitive decline.
Results: Based on Pearson’s correlation test, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level had significant strong positive correlation with MoCA-INA score (r=0.876;p=0.000) and triglyceride level had significant strong negative correlation with MoCA-INA score (r=-0.726;p=0.000). Relatively to cognitive decline, ORs for decreased HDL level was 3.19 (95%CI 2.02-4.36) and increased triglyceride level was 2.59 (95%CI 1.29-3.91).
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between decreased HDL-cholesterol level and increased triglyceride level with cognitive decline in geriatric outpatients.
An Alternative Reading of Amor Towles’s A Gentleman in Moscow
Authors: Acharya Rajendra 
Published: May 2021

This paper explores Amor Towles’s A Gentleman in Moscow (2016) as an Alternative Reading of Stalinian Era in terms of its reinterpretation of the Russian history and scrutinization of the historical documents. In doing so, this paper endeavors to study Amor Towles’s A Gentleman in Moscow (2016), through the vantage point of Foucauldian discourse supported by Friedrich Nietzsche’s notion of ‘freewill’, Catherine Gallaher and Stephen Greenblatt’s notion of ‘counter history. This Article further delves in to the official history and examines the power-politics of and behind the critique of Stalinian regime by observing the socio-cultural background of the author. The paper also offers more than one potential reading of Russian history and the novelist’s social context in order to analyze the novel as a direct outcome of the clashing interpretations and concludes that, Towles, while crafting historical fiction, explicitly tantalizes Russian history, implicitly emphasizes American values and creates the new knowledge for the sake of subjugated through artistic discourse. Finally, the paper will demonstrate that the novelist invites the reader to concentrate and support the political power of marginalized group despite its absence in official history.

Authors: Navarrete M. , Gutierrez J. , Mayén R. , Aguirre D. , Naude J. L. 
Published: May 2021

The present paper describes the implementation of electrospinning technique to manufacture (polymeric-nonwoven) fibrous-mats (with micrometric/nanometric fibers) as photosensitive region. These mats are tailored and assembled in UV-A radiation detection cards. The selective photoluminescence of our mats is due to the Europium ions (Eu3+, Eu+2) added as Europium nitrate to a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix. The electrospinning-equipment operation-parameters such as applied voltage (10 kV), distance from needle tip to collector plate (17 cm), and precursor-solution flow-rate (0.45 mL/h) are determined from the solution of a unidimensional model comprising three differential equations. The manufactured photoluminescent mats average-fiber-diameter is 1.3 ± 0.5 mm, with 76% void volume, average void-size of 7 mm, and average thickness of 350 mm. The photoluminescent mats sustain significant light absorption in the wavelength range of 245 to 350 nm and corresponding emission in the visible range of 400 to 650 nm.
Temperature Sensor Using Fiber Ring Laser Based On a Core-Offset Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
Authors: Contreras Marco Antonio 
Published: May 2021

The development of fiber optic sensors receives special interest since they can be used in multiple applications. As a result, fiber optic laser-sensor schemes had emerged as a reliable device, due to its characteristics such as: high power, low threshold, and high stability. In this work, it is proposed a fiber laser-sensor based on a ring cavity configuration. The cavity is operated by a core-offset Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which is used as a wave selection filter and temperature detection device. Here, the proposed fiber laser-sensor exhibits sensing properties such as sensitivity of 0.03119 pm/°C , dynamic range of 90ºC and a signal to noise ratio of 52 dB
Radicalizing Online
Authors: McCurdy Emmett 
Published: May 2021

Radicalization is the transition into acceptance and approval of extremist beliefs and actions, including condoning or committing acts of violence. In recent decades, the internet has played a crucial role in the radicalization of extremists and terrorists, as well as facilitating radical groups' recruitment efforts. The present review briefly discusses what radicalization is and how it unfolds in a general sense, before exploring how the internet is involved in three kinds of radicalization. The first is the deliberate radicalization and recruitment of new members into formally organized extremist groups (e.g. white supremacist militias and radical Islamic terror groups), and the second is self-radicalization via the internet, wherein unstable, discontent, and/or disenfranchised individuals pursue increasingly radical ideas and communities online until they condone or commit acts of violence on their own, without formal membership into an organized group. The third type of radicalization explored is stochastic or probabilistic radicalization, in which individuals encounter seemingly or actually benign ideas, beliefs, and pundits online, and are slowly radicalized via increasingly bold and dramatic content being suggested by the recommendation algorithms of Google and Youtube. The review clarifies some distinctions between the three types, before a brief summary and discussion.

Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE
Internal carotid artery injury (ICAI) is a rare, life-threatening complication of endoscopic endonasal approaches that will be encountered by most skull base neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists. Rates of surgical proficiency for managing ICAI are not known, and the role of simulation to improve performance has not been studied on a nationwide scale.

METHODS
Attending and resident neurosurgery and otorhinolaryngology surgeons (n = 177) were recruited from multicenter regional and national training courses to assess training outcomes and validity at scale of a prospective educational intervention to improve surgeon technical skills using a previously validated, perfused human cadaveric simulator. Participants attempted an initial trial (T1) of simulated ICAI control using their preferred technique. An educational intervention including personalized instruction was performed. Participants attempted a second trial (T2). Task success (dichotomous), time to hemostasis (TTH), estimated blood loss (EBL), and surgeon heart rate were measured.

RESULTS
Participant rating scales confirmed that the simulation retained face and construct validity across eight instructional settings. Trial success (ICAI control) improved from 56% in T1 to 90% in T2 (p < 0.0001). EBL and TTH decreased by 37% and 38%, respectively (p < 0.0001). Postintervention resident surgeon performance (TTH, EBL, and success rate) was superior to preintervention attending surgeon performance. The most improved quartile of participants achieved 62% improvement in TTH and 73% improvement in EBL, with trial success improvement from 25.6% in T1 to 100% in T2 (p < 0.0001). Baseline surgeon confidence was uncorrelated with T1 success, while posttraining confidence correlated with T2 success. Tachycardia was measured in 57% of surgeon participants, but was attenuated during T2, consistent with development of resiliency.

CONCLUSIONS
Prior to training, many attending and most resident surgeons could not manage the rare, life-threatening intraoperative complication of ICAI. A simulated educational intervention significantly improved surgeon performance and remained valid when deployed at scale. Simulation also promoted the development of favorable cognitive skills (accurate perception of skill and resiliency). Rare, life-threatening intraoperative complications may be optimal targets for educational interventions using surgical simulation.

Published: May 2021

Background: COVID-19 is defiantly most notifiable killing infectious disease in twenty-first century that to bring unprecedented deadly toll in human life. Many developing and under developing countries faces great challenges to provide treatment facilities to their country people. Pregnant women are not beyond that exception. Besides, they experience absence of sensible humanity that never happened in the history of recent past. Many of them risking their lives and they suffered premature delivery, IUD, Still birth, PPH and even death for unnecessary delay to reach and receive treatment due to social stigma about COVID-19.
Methods: This study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology of COVID Dedicated Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. 300 COVID-19 suspected obstetrical patients included conveniently. The study period was from July 2020 to August 2020. It was a prospective observational cross-sectional study. The study subjects were selected following convenience sampling technique.
Results: In this study majority of the patient (62.2%) were in the age group 20-29, where age limit was 14 to 45 years. Majority of the patients (55.7%) was either Illiterate or could sign only. Around half (51.0%) of the patients had monthly family income <10,000 BDT. Of all cases, 57.7% were multipara, 37.7% were primipara and 4.6% were grand multipara. Among all, 43.38% had VD and 56.62% had LUCS. Out of them 3.68% were COVID-19 positive cases. Of all, 51% lived in the urban, 29% in sub-urban, and 20% in the rural area. In this study, 1.80% deaths within suspected cases, 14.28% death among admitted positive cases and there was no death found among suspected turned to positive cases. Among all, 9.55% babies were IUD & Still born, 2.20% needed ICU, where 0.73% mothers were positive, and 88.23% babies were normal where 2.94% mothers were positive mother. In present study, 4.33% needed HFNC/Ventilator support who were critically ill, out of them COVID-19 positive cases were 1.33%. Off all 300 patients, case fatality rate (CFR) was 0.67% where among all positive cases it was 4.56%.
Conclusion: Pregnant woman being considered potentially vulnerable to viral infection. Physiological changes during pregnancy have a significant impact on different functional systems of body. COVID-19 also increases the risk and suffering many fold to pregnant women on different dimension of life. The ultimate outcome, most of the positive cases unencumbered themselves by the cost of their senseless suffering and life.

Published: May 2021

Background: Out-of-pocket expenditure is the major financer for health care expenses in Bangladesh, causing financial burden on affected households. Chronic disease like liver cirrhosis requires long term treatment, exposing households to further economic stress, pushing them into a state where they fail to meet the necessary health expenses from their own household consumption and sacrifices basic necessities of living to pay for healthcare services. This study aims to estimate the OOP expenditure and resulting catastrophic health expenditure among hospitalized patients of liver cirrhosis.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 42 diagnosed liver cirrhosis patients admitted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) under the department of hepatology and department of gastroenterology, aged 18 years and above. Convenient sampling technique was used and data were collected from the respondents using a semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interview during discharge from hospital.
Results: Out of pocket expenditure for liver cirrhosis at BSMMU was BDT 24,898. Direct medical cost was BDT 21,202, direct non-medical cost was BDT 1,895 and indirect cost was BDT 1,801. Among the determinants of OOP healthcare expenditure, medicine and investigation costs were the major cost drivers, 36.91% and 44.13% of the total expenditure, respectively. OOP expenditure was found to be slightly higher among respondents from department of hepatology, than department of gastroenterology, BDT 21,834 and BDT 18,043 respectively, but this difference was not statistically significant. At 10% threshold level, 40.5% of the respondents were affected by Catastrophic Healthcare Expenditure (CHE). Nearly one-third (30.9%) of the respondents were facing distress financing due to OOP Expenditure.
Conclusions: The high amount of OOP expenditure can be contributed mostly to the high cost of medicine and investigation. Making medicine readily available at an affordable price along with rational use of medication and investigation for diagnostic purpose can help reduce this financial burden on affected households.

BackgroundWhite matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are markers for cerebrovascular pathology, which are frequently seen in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Verbal fluency is often impaired especially in AD, but little research has been conducted concerning the specific effects of WMH on verbal fluency in MCI and AD.ObjectiveOur aim was to examine the relationship between WMH and verbal fluency in healthy old age and pathological aging (MCI/AD) using quantified MRI data.MethodsMeasures for semantic and phonemic fluency as well as quantified MRI imaging data from a sample of 42 cognitively healthy older adults and 44 patients with MCI/AD (total n = 86) were utilized. Analyses were performed both using the total sample that contained seven left-handed/ambidextrous participants, as well with a sample containing only right-handed participants (n = 79) in order to guard against possible confounding effects regarding language lateralization.ResultsAfter controlling for age and education and adjusting for multiple correction, WMH in the bilateral frontal and parieto-occipital areas as well as the right temporal area were associated with semantic fluency in cognitively healthy and MCI/AD patients but only in the models containing solely right-handed participants.ConclusionThe results indicate that white matter pathology in both frontal and parieto-occipital cerebral areas may have associations with impaired semantic fluency in right-handed older adults. However, elevated levels of WMH do not seem to be associated with cumulative effects on verbal fluency impairment in patients with MCI or AD. Further studies on the subject are needed.
