Can the Other Speak? Mediated Counter-Narratives of Tatars and Mappilas
Authors: K.P. Abdullakkutty 
Published: June 2021

Tatars in Russia and Mappilas in India, two imagined communities of dif- ferent socio-cultural, ethno-national and geo-political identities, have more contrasts than commonalities. Their similarity lies in the constructed otherness of Tatars and Mappilas regarding the origin, spread, and survival of these two communities. Orientalist historiography, literary imageries, and ideological intrusions have constructed a common ‘other’ whose stereotyped media images and biased narratives are now part of everyday discursive practice. Rejecting these age-old intellectual narratives and media images, a new wave of intelligentsia among the Tatar and Mappila communities brings counter-narratives on the history, tradition, and everyday life of these communities. Media, especially cinema, have become a major tool for reinterpreting Tatar and Mappila identity and culture and challenging the distorted images of these subaltern communities.

This study was conducted to reinforce the hypothesis that ecotourism in Quang Loi commune’s lagoon created differences in income and lagoon resource protection of different beneficiary groups. Data was collected through secondary sources, 3 key informant interviews and interviews of 62 households in three household groups: tourism service, fishing, and aquaculture households. The results reveal that ecotourism services in Quang Loi commune started in 2010 and thrive since 2017, relying on the advantages of the local natural resources. Local community organized and provided tourism services such as: sightseeing on the lagoon, fishing experience, dining and accommodation, and some other services. By joining such services, labors in ecotourism service households earned 39.07 million VND/ year, which significant contributed to improve household’s income. Ecotourism service households, therefore, had higher income than that of fishing group and aquaculture group (85.15 compared to 72.29 and 60 million VND, respectively; p value < 0.05). The lagoon environmental protection activities such as: lagoon night patrol, waste collection, propaganda and advocating for lagoon environmental protection, etc. were paid more attention by the local community since the development of ecotourism. Similarly, there was a significant higher participation time of tourism service households in the above activities in comparison with the rest groups (p value < 0.05). The lagoon environment and resources was assessed to be improved by local residents. This result implicates that ecotourism development is a suitable strategy to improve the local people's livelihood and Tam Giang lagoon resources protection currently.

Published: June 2021

Background: Anterior column realignment (ACR) is a minimally invasive technique used to restore lumbar lordosis and improve sagittal balance. The most feared complication from ACR includes injury to the great vessels. Segmental artery injuries are also a possible complication, although sparsely reported. We report such a case.
Case Description: During anterior longitudinal ligament release at L3–4, the L3 segmental artery was injured. Intraoperative angiogram and coiling were performed. Our patient remained hemodynamically stable, with the exception of during the postoperative period when his hemoglobin level fell five points.
Discussion: This patient was at risk for this complication due to the tortuosity of his vessels and his osteophytes. This injury can be treated concurrently with endovascular embolization if equipment and personnel are readily available. Ultimately, segmental artery injury does not appear to be as morbid as great vessel injury, if addressed emergently.

Introducción. La mastitis granulomatosa crónica es una enfermedad inflamatoria poco frecuente y con mayor incidencia en el sexo femenino. Su sintomatología y su presentación clínica causan gran ansiedad tanto en el paciente como en el personal médico, debido a su comportamiento similar al de la patología mamaria maligna. No hay una etiología clara ni un manejo terapéutico definido. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características clínico-patológicas, el tratamiento y la evolución de las pacientes con mastitis granulomatosa, durante el periodo de estudio.
Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo en el que se revisaron las historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico y manejo de trastorno inflamatorio de la mama no especificado (N61X), entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2019. Se encontraron 236 pacientes, se excluyeron 176 por no cumplir con el diagnóstico de mastitis granulomatosa crónica o por no tener un seguimiento adecuado. Se evaluaron las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y de evolución, comparando la respuesta que se obtuvo con cada tratamiento.

The article presents the principles of road-climatic zoning of any mountain region. Only in each specific case, depending on the location of the area in latitude, the type of vertical natural belts, it is necessary to specify the boundaries of road and climatic zones in height.
The above proposals for assigning certain areas of the territory of the republic to a particular natural and climatic zone do not apply to those areas where there is a continuous occurrence of stony or stony soils in the upper layers.
For such sections, an individual approach to the design of road structures should be applied in each specific case.
Road-climatic zoning is the most effective way to refine the characteristics of soils, providing a significant improvement in the quality of design and construction of the roadbed.

Published: June 2021

The adaptive quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm based on cloud model and the multi-island genetic algorithm [15] have obvious advantages in convergence speed to solve the sensor optimization problem, and can effectively achieve global optimization. Due to the installation of sensors and actuators, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of intelligent structures is changed, which affects the vibration energy of structures. In this paper, the reserved energy index of structural vibration control system is taken as the objective optimization function. The position, number, length and control gain of sensors and actuators of active vibration control system are optimized. The adaptive Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm in cloud model(CMQPSO) is used as the optimization strategy, and the cantilever beam is taken as an example. This approach is verified its effectiveness and feasibility. It is found that excellent optimization results are obtained.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of using virtual non-contrast (VNC) images derived from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to replace true non-contrast (TNC) images of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. METHODS: Images of 96 PTC patients were retrospectively analyzed. TNC images were acquired under the single-energy mode of DECT after the plain scanning. The arterial and venous phase VNC (VNC-a and VNC-v) images were generated by the post-processing algorithm from the arterial phase and venous phase of contrast-enhanced CT images, respectively. Mean attenuation values, image noise, number and length of calcification were measured. Radiation dose was also calculated. Last, subjective score of image quality was evaluated by a 5-point scale. RESULTS: Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each tissue in TNC images is significantly higher than that of VNC images ( p<0.050). Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of fat, muscle, thyroid nodules and internal carotid artery in TNC images is significantly higher than that of VNC images, while CNR in TNC images is lower for cervical vertebra ( p<0.001). Calcification is detected on TNC images of 44 patients, while it is omitted on VNC images of 14 patients (31.8%). The subjective score of TNC images is higher than VNC images ( p<0.001). The effective dose reduction is 47.6% by avoiding plain scanning. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the different attenuation value, SNR, CNR and especially reduced detection rate of calcification, we deem that VNC images cannot be directly used to replace TNC images in PTC patients, despite the reduced radiation dose.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility of applying deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm in a low-kilovolt enhanced scan of the upper abdomen. METHODS: A total of 64 patients (BMI<28) are selected for the enhanced upper abdomen scan and divided evenly into two groups. The tube voltages in Group A are 100kV in arterial phase and 80kV in venous phase, while tube voltages are 120kV during two phases in Group B. Image reconstruction algorithms used in Group A include the filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm, the adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo (ASIR-V 40% and 80%) algorithm, and the DLIR algorithm (DL-L, DL-M, DL-H). Image reconstruction algorithm used in Group B is ASIR-V40%. The different reconstruction algorithm images are used to measure the common hepatic artery, liver, renal cortex, erector spinae, and subcutaneous adipose in the arterial phase and the average CT value and standard deviation of the portal vein, liver, spleen, erector spinae, and subcutaneous adipose in the portal phase. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated, and the images are also scored subjectively. RESULTS: In Group A, noise in the aorta, liver, portal vein (the portal phase), spleen (the portal phase), renal cortex, retroperitoneal adipose, and muscle is significantly lower in both the DL-H and ASIR-V80% images, and the SNR is significantly higher than those in the remaining groups ( P<0.05). The SNR of each tissue and organ in Group B is not significantly different from that in DL-M, DL-L, and ASIR-V40% in Group A ( P>0.05). The subjective image quality scores in the DL-H and B groups are higher than those in the other groups, and the FBP group has significantly lower image quality than the remaining groups ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION: For upper abdominal low-kilovolt enhanced scan data, the DLIR-H gear yields a more satisfactory image quality than the FBP and ASIR-V.

Background: The two most common and important causes of neonatal cholestasis (NC) are biliary atresia (BA) and Idiopathic neonatal hepatitis (INH). There is no single test that can definitely differentiate these two entities.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical and laboratory parameters for diagnosis of biliary atresia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from August 2013 through July 2015 among purposively sampled infants with neonatal cholestasis. Results: Total 86 neonatal cholestatic cases were studied. Term baby and good birth weight are significantly higher in BA cases. The presence of persistent pale colored stool is significantly more in patients with BA (p 0.000). GGT is the only liver enzyme that was found to be useful differentiating BA from INH at a cut-off value ≥ 524U/L or 9.5 times higher than upper limit normal with sensitivity and specificity of 81.6% and 72.9% respectively. In the present study the diagnostic accuracy of persistent pale colored stool found to be highest (79.1 %).
Conclusion: The present study showed that Persistent pale colored stool and serum level of GGT with a cut-off value ≥524 U/L or 9.5 times higher than upper limit normal can be considered as predictive markers for differentiation of Biliary atresia from Idiopathic neonatal hepatitis.

Published: June 2021

Nowadays, the use of spices and other herbs have extensively increased due to their medicinal values all over the world. However, the monitoring of heavy metal contamination in spices has also been increased in recent years. A study has been conducted to determine the concentration of eight heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Arsenic (As), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) in mainly three different types of turmeric samples (Curcuma longa). The turmeric samples analyzed were (i) Unpacked bulk powder available at three different local markets in Dhaka (ii) Packed and marketed by three branded companies, and (iii) Raw turmeric directly collected from different local farmlands. The samples were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The concentration of most of the heavy metals were found within the limit recommended by WHO (6.0000 ppm) except lead (12.3469 ppm) in unpacked-3 bulk sample. This study also showed the concentration of heavy metals were present in a lower amount in packed power samples compared to unpacked bulk powder samples. The result of this analysis would be helpful for public awareness in consumption of different spices. The concerned authorities who are responsible for monitoring and regulating the food chain in the market in our country may also get a great message about heavy metal contamination of spices.
