Authors: Subedi Anjali , Magar Poonam , Shrestha Junu , Subedi Seema 
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) was declared a "pandemic" in March 2020 by WHO and advocated lockdown measures with the use of mask, frequent hand washing and social distancing for decreasing the transmission of disease. In Nepal where antenatal coverage is just 50% and institutional deliveries 54%, this lockdown has further reduced the regular antenatal visits, institutional deliveries posing an increased adverse effect in pregnancy outcome. This study aimed to reveal the impact of lockdown in pregnancy outcomes in a tertiary care center. Methods: It was a cross-sectional, analytical study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Manipal Teaching Hospital for three months lockdown period (March 2020 to June 2020) and total deliveries along with maternal and perinatal complications were studied in the lockdown period and compared with those in non-lockdown period. Results: During the lockdown period, there were total 1070 deliveries and maternal complication was seen in 17.38% of deliveries. In the non-lockdown period, there were total of 982 deliveries and maternal complication was present in 18.43% of deliveries (p= 0.53). In the study, more cases of early pregnancy complications were seen in lockdown period than in non-lockdown period. Regarding obstetric complications, hypertensive disorder was the most common one observed during lockdown period whereas preterm labor was common in non-lockdown period. There was no increase in perinatal complications during lockdown period on comparing to non-lockdown period. Conclusion: There was no increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes during lockdown of COVID 19 pandemic in a tertiary care center.
Evaluation of a PDA Pilot Program to Address Equity and Diversity in Academic Library Acquisitions
Authors: Kennedy Kimberly , Saragossi Jamie 
Published: December 2024

In the summer of 2023, Stony Brook University Libraries (SBUL) embarked on a transformation, shifting from a traditional liaison-based system to a teams-based approach. This transition reflects a broader trend in academic libraries toward optimizing operational efficiency and resource allocation amidst evolving staffing and budgetary challenges. Central to this transformation is the redefined role of the Division of Collection Strategy and Management, which now oversees all areas of collection development. This paper examines SBUL’s decision to pilot a user-centered collection development strategy, implementing a multiple-publisher Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA) model while maintaining traditional firm order requests from faculty and students. We explore the methodology of transitioning acquisition workflows, the rationale behind adopting a user-centric approach, and the implications of this model on aligning library collections with the diverse needs of the campus community. The new collections team at SBUL identified three main goals for this pilot program: 1) enhancing and diversifying the collection, 2) identifying organizational efficiencies, and 3) implementing fiscal controls. The analysis draws on data collected during the pilot to offer insights into best practices for evolving library acquisition strategies in response to shifting user expectations and campus diversity in an environment of organizational constraints.

Veterinary care providers recognize clinical utility of genetic testing but report limited confidence in interpreting direct-to-consumer results
Authors: Bennett Nikki E. , Johnson Elizabeth A. , Gray Peter B. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) genetic tests are increasingly accessible to pet owners, with commercial genetic companies entering veterinary distribution markets. This study evaluated veterinary care providers’ (VCPs) awareness of the D2C genetic industry, experiences with clients’ inquiries, perceptions of clinical utility, and confidence in interpreting test results.

METHODS
Veterinary care providers attending a professional conference (February 19 through 23, 2023) were invited to complete an online survey.

RESULTS
229 VCPs began the survey, and 218 completed all sections. Respondents were predominately veterinarians (131 of 218 [60.3%]), mostly working in small animal practices (160 of 218 [73.7%]), with dogs (206 of 218 [94.9%]) and cats (199 of 218 [91.7%]). 186 of 229 participants (81.2%) encountered clients using or intending to use D2C genetic tests, often seeking recommendations or the VCP's opinion about genetic services. 86 of 131 veterinarians (65.6%) and 36 of 44 registered veterinary technicians (81.8%) perceived genetic testing as clinically useful. Veterinarians reported higher confidence in interpreting dog than cat results, with additional differences related to breed versus health information.

CONCLUSIONS
This study indicates that VCPs are generally aware of D2C genetic testing, with licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians recognizing its clinical utility. However, veterinarian confidence levels with assisting clients in understanding their results varies by species and test type.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
As trends in D2C genetic testing persist, there is a need for interventions to address the lack of guidelines and improve VCP attitudes and confidence in assisting clients with these tests. This will involve genetic companies offering targeted support and continuing education to address gaps in confidence related to dog, cat, breed, and health information.
The Eye and Eye Diseases from the Perspective of Ancient Babylonian and Biblical Sources: A Study of Selected Texts
Authors: Anna Barnau 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Until the late 19th century, the sources of the Hebrew Bible as well as the writings of classical Greco-Roman authors, provided the only information about the history of ancient Mesopotamia, Canaan, and other civilizations of the ancient Near East. It is difficult to determine how much Hebrew ophthalmology depends on the ophthalmology of other nations. It can only be said that the Babylonians and Egyptians had the greatest influence on it. The Jewish ancestor Abraham immigrated from Mesopotamia to Canaan, and Babylonia already had a high culture in the fourth millennium BC, also in relation to medicine in general, and ophthalmology in particular.
The following study presents the meaning and understanding of the human eye and eye diseases from the perspective of selected ancient Babylonian and Biblical sources.
The Perfect Feminist Movie Does Not Exist: Screening the Barbie Buzz
Authors: Preda Alina 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Given the remarkable financial success of Greta Gerwig’s film, its perceived merits and shortcomings need to be examined in order to determine what caused the significant social media attention, which included both substantial praise and sharp criticism. Starting from an overview of the Barbie-doll’s evolution over the years and relying on the mixed reception enjoyed by the film Barbie (2023), this article provides an analysis of how its director incorporates the feminist ideology, evaluates its effectiveness in harnessing the empowering aspects of the feminist discourse, and attempts to pinpoint the specific type of feminism it embraces. The aim is to scrutinise the claim that this production is nothing more than the epitome of insidious faux feminism, shamelessly brandished by the media industry to disguise its commercial objectives whilst posing as harbingers of progressive social change.
Postfeminist Representation: Masculinity on the Verge of Identity Crisis
Authors: Cornea Diana-Maria 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Numerous studies on the popular icon Barbie have focused on the representation of the character Ken. This study aims to investigate the extent of masculinity employed in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster picture Barbie (2023). I follow the film’s use of post-feminist language to critique hegemonic masculinity’s symbols and discuss theoretical issues such as gender identity crises and gender performativity.
“I’m Not Pretty Anymore:” Femininity and Beauty in the Barbie Movie
Authors: Máthé Nóra 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The Barbie movie swept across the world and became the highest grossing movie of 2023, but it is also considered a controversial film, as the public and academic discourses around it show. Can Barbie be feminist? Is Barbie feminist enough? The expectations levied against the movie come from outside of it, reflecting on Barbie’s history from 1959 until today. Barbie embodies patriarchal views of women but she also showcases the way women entered the workforce, became less reliant on men, and more independent within society. While many critics blame Barbie for unrealistic body standards and capitalist overconsumption, I argue that the doll’s evolution also reflects the way women’s roles changed over the last sixty years. The aim of this paper is to analyze the way Barbie grapples with questions of beauty and femininity in 2023, with a sixty-year-old past of constantly changing definitions of what it means to be a woman.
‘Breaking’ the Silence and ‘Fighting’ Back: Changing Representations of Female Response to Gender-Based Violence in Select Malayalam Films
Authors: Parvathy N , Tripathi Priyanka 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Representation, particularly mediated forms such as cinema, has always been a powerful tool to enable social change. On the one hand, cinema functions as an instrument that reinstates hegemonic patriarchy, but on the other, it also becomes “a tool for political resistance and subversion” (Lauret, 1991, p. 66). Recently, South Asian cinema and, more specifically, the corpora of Malayalam cinema1 has emerged as an empowering platform that addresses structural and institutionalised inequalities of gender. Broadly, the paper discusses the shift in the representational praxis of gender-based violence in Malayalam cinema, more specifically, the female protagonists’ responses to violence. Specifically, the paper focuses on two recent Malayalam films, Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey (2022) and The Teacher (2022). The films present vigilantism as a means of female empowerment, offering an alternative narrative to traditional portrayals of victimhood, and how it can resist feelings of powerlessness in the face of gender-based violence. Therefore, anchoring on Laura Mattoon D’Amore’s theoretical framework of vigilante feminism (2017), the study examines the intersection of vigilantism, gender-based violence, and cinematic representation, in an attempt to locate both the covert and overt forms and responses surrounding violence against women.

Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to analyze Collaborative Governance involved in the implementation of policies and expansion of the coverage of labor protection in the current Palembang area, as well as to recommend an effective Collaborative Governance model.

Theoretical Framework: This study uses the Collaborative Governance Model proposed by Governance. Collaborative Governance is an arrangement in which one or more public bodies directly engage non-state stakeholders in a formal, consensus-oriented, and deliberative collective decision-making process.

Method: In this study, the researcher used a qualitative method. This study used secondary data from local governments to deepen discussions and support primary data findings. Secondary data can be a valuable source of qualitative data and can enrich data that cannot be collected through interviews.

Results and Discussion: The implementation of collaborative governance in employment protection policies in Palembang requires the active involvement of various stakeholders. The main challenges in the form of public awareness and support from local governments require collaborative solutions involving all parties. With an inadequate level of collaboration, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan still needs to carry out broader and more targeted cooperation to achieve these goals.

Research Implications: Theoretically, this research enriches the knowledge of organizations and administration. Practically, the collaboration model that has been successfully formulated can be used as a tool for cooperation between organizations and conflict resolution.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the direct application of the Collaborative Governance theory. The relevance and value of this study are proven by providing recommendations in the implementation of Collaborative Governance.
