Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair in the management of Spiegelian hernia – A three-patient case series and review of the literature
Authors: Alpuche Héctor Alí Valenzuela 
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:
Spiegel hernia (SH) is a rare type of primary ventral hernia. Surgery has been performed by open or minimally invasive means with no current gold standard due to a shortage of current evidence. We advocate for the transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) for its cost effective outcome. We present a series of 3 cases operated using the TAPP approach in the past 5 years, carried out by a single surgeon, and a review of the literature.

METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of a case series of 3 patients' operations between January 2015 and June 2020. TAPP repair was found to be a safe and effective anatomical repair with all the added benefits of laparoscopic surgery such as reduced hospital stay, quicker recovery, and fewer surgical site occurrences.

CONCLUSIONS:
Several operative techniques have been described to repair Spiegel hernia but in our particular practice we felt laparoscopic TAPP approach was the safest and with a more predictable outcome due to the authors familiarity with it.
Robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of complex inguinal hernias
Authors: Kudsi Omar Yusef , Bou-Ayash Naseem , Gokcal Fahri 
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:
Complex inguinal hernia repairs (IHR) have been defined based on previous relative contraindications for their minimally invasive repair. In this study, we aim to describe outcomes after complex robotic IHR (rIHR) and the associated challenges.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who underwent complex rIHR in an elective setting between 2013 and 2020. Patients included into the study were those with a recurrence after posterior IHR, history of prostatectomy, large scrotal hernia, or irreducible hernia after anesthesia induction (incarcerated). Any patients with concomitant procedures or emergent repairs were excluded. Complications were assessed with the Clavien-Dindo (CD) and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) scoring systems.

RESULTS:
A total of 88 patients were identified. Accounting for bilateral IHRs, the total number of complex rIHRs was 110. Although there were no conversions to an open approach, one patient required a hybrid procedure. The average length of stay (LOS) and follow-up period were 0.2 days and 33 months, respectively. A total of four major complications (CD-Grade III/IV) were observed. These included three seromas requiring drainage, one of which necessitated readmission, and 1 postoperative intensive care unit admission. No chronic pain or recurrence was observed. The CCI® scores were ranged between 0 and 42.4. In a univariate analysis, no statistically significant variable was found between patients with and without postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION:
Complex rIHR may be performed with minimal LOS, complications, and adverse long-term sequelae. A patient-tailored approach and adequate surgical training and knowledge are essential to attempt these procedures.
Long-term results of Progrip mesh for retromuscular repair of ventral hernia
Authors: Eltyeb Hazim A. , Dowker Frederick , Light Duncan 
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:
An issue that has become apparent in using Progrip in ventral hernias is the restriction in the available sizes. The area of dissection for mesh placement can be variable. This report is based on a subgroup analysis of the cases in which a combination of Progrip meshes was used.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was a retrospective review of our prospective database. Cases were identified of Progrip mesh used in ventral hernia repair from 2016 to 2020. Subgroup analysis was performed of cases which Progrip meshes were combined. Telephone follow-up was done in September 2020.

RESULTS:
Sixty-eight cases were identified. The mean age of patients was 63.13 (26–87). Thirty-three were female. The mean American Society of Anesthesiologists grade was 2 (range: 1–4). The procedure time was 164.35 min (45–490). The mean defect size was 7.23 (2–25 cm). The mean mesh size was a 20 cm × 15 cm mesh. Follow-up was achieved in 63/68 cases. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 4 years. Recurrence was found in 4 (6%). Nine had ongoing abdominal pain. Fifty-nine (93.65%) returned to normal activity. Three returned to theater for wound dehiscence and seromas. Twelve cases required 2 meshes to be combined. All cases involved a mesh size of 30 cm × 30 cm. The mean age was 64 (44–78 years). Six were male. The mean defect size was 9 cm. The operative time was 235 min (120–320). The mean postoperative stay was 5 days (4–60). Three cases required component separation (2 anterior component separation and 1 posterior component separation). There were no recurrences or further surgery. One had ongoing pain. Nine cases had full return to activity.

CONCLUSION:
Combining Progrip meshes in ventral hernia is an acceptable practice. Mesh may be sutured together or overlapped with equivalent results. Extending the product range to a 30 cm × 30 cm mesh would obviate the need for mesh overlap in our practice.
Walter Benjamim e a Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes (ENFF) do MST:
Authors: Paz Micharlles Lopes , Oliveira David Barbosa 
Published: February 2021

O objetivo precípuo do corrente artigo é tecer aproximações entre o pensamento revolucionário-romântico do filósofo Walter Benjamim com a experiência da Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes (ENFF) do MST. De que modo este pensador judeu-alemão que viveu as tensões decorrentes da primeira metade do século XX teria relação com esta escola rebelde surgida nos albores do século XXI? Há possibilidade de conexões neurais e coronárias entre ambos? Qual seria o enriquecimento teórico-prático deste achegamento? Não se trata de encaixar a fórceps a teoria benjaminiana na experiência da ENFF, mas sim de historiar um pouco pontos de intercessão entre seus sonhos e receios, respeitando o lapso temporal que os separa e as singularidades de cada contexto histórico. Trata-se de um bate-bola entre visões de mundo que se abraçam, de idéias e ideais convergentes que alumiam pontos da inteligibilidade histórica de nossos dramas e expectativas atuais. A intenção é, portanto, inventariar possíveis cruzamentos, como por exemplo: se aquele é o mago das iluminações profanas por sua apaixonada aposta na redenção nostálgica que inspira uma utopia, questionadora do presente a partir das lutas pretéritas com vistas para a emergência da Revolução; esta é o espaço dedicado à operacionalização teórico- prática da própria práxis revolucionária, uma vez que salvaguarda e atualiza o verbo de luta da classe trabalhadora, honrando os compromissos ancestrais dos que tombaram nas “rodas das carruagens majestosas do progresso”. O sonho de Benjamim é com o futuro, assim como o da ENFF também o é, com o futuro de uma esperança. Ambos reconhecem a importância fundamental das batalhas pela memória inscrita na tradição dos oprimidos. Tanto a ENFF quanto o pensador são espiritualistas, isto é, concebem que mediante a hostilidade da luta de classes, os oprimidos não devem prescindir do auxílio das forças espirituais, àquela operacionaliza sua alma através da mística, esse a exerce por meio de sua fé nas forças messiânicas e redentoras da humanidade, produtoras de coragem, esperança, tenacidade e amor para a luta no presente.

Authors: Silva Marciete Das Neves , Silva Emanuel Freitas da 
Published: February 2021

Esse estudo faz uma abordagem sobre a Avaliação Nacional de Alfabetização (ANA) na Escola Brasil Novo, situada no Município de Macapá, no Estado do Amapá. O objetivo geral é analisar o resultado da Avaliação Nacional de Alfabetização - ANA. E, como objetivos específicos contribuir para o processo de ensino nas instituições públicas brasileiras, analisar os resultados aferidos na aplicação da avaliação ANA na Escola Estadual Brasil Novo no período de 2014 a 2016, bem como investigar quais as possíveis dificuldades encontradas referentes aos critérios de avaliação da alfabetização. Nesse sentido, o que se pesquisa nessa escola é se de fato e de direito a alfabetização que se ensina nessa escola obtém as respostas satisfatórias atendendo às expectativas exigidas pela Avaliação Nacional de Alfabetização. Essa percepção está voltada para a compreensão de novos paradigmas em contraposição às dificuldades que os docentes enfrentam no cotidiano com esse perfil de aluno. Isso tudo porque a grande maioria desses professores ainda não estão devidamente preparados e/ou capacitados para lidar com cenário de novos conceitos avaliativos. Nesse sentido, justifica-se o referido estudo em se poder contribuir com os atuais gestores de educação. Assume-se, assim, um olhar crítico para contribuir com os mesmos. Dessa maneira, se fez necessária uma avaliação dessa política da educação, como meio de entender o desempenho e o esforço ao educando, de maneira a obter as condições de escolaridade para ser desenvolvido o conhecimento e habilidades na escola pública. Os resultados finais obtidos nessa pesquisa de campo são assim apresentados: que na avaliação nacional de alfabetização (ANA) na idade certa possui elementos que desencadeiam a importância das políticas públicas educacionais desenvolvidas no ensino, como oportunidade de desenvolver, não apenas o aluno que aprende, mas o docente que ensina, e também obtém todo o crescimento no ensino escolar e com reflexo no eixo social.
Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic: Occupational Therapy on the Front Line
Authors: Robinson Marla R. , Koverman Brenda , Becker Carson , Ciancio Kate E. , Fisher Gail , Saake Serena 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) highlighted the insufficient public health policies and lack of a national pandemic response strategy. Rehabilitation departments faced barriers to providing care in the traditional manner and needed to consider protection of patients and staff, staffing and personal protective equipment shortages, and uncertainty about best practices to address a novel health condition. This article highlights the strategies implemented by acute care occupational therapy leaders to support their staff; facilitate efficient care provision; and pivot with constantly changing policies, procedures, and research during the COVID-19 crisis. Occupational therapy’s distinct value in caring for this population and role in responding to the pandemic are shared to provide a guidepost for future health care crises.

The Hidden History of the Smock Frock
Authors: Toplis Alison 
Published: February 2021

Traditionally associated with rural ways of life in England, often hand-crafted and held up as one of the only items of English folk dress to survive into the 20th century, the smock frock is an object of curiosity in many museum collections. Drawing on a wide variety of sources from surviving garments to newspapers and photographs, this book reveals the hidden history of the smock frock to present new social histories.
Discussing the smock frock in its widest contexts, Alison Toplis explores how garments were handmade and manufactured by the ready-made clothing industry, and bought by men of different trades. She traces the smock frock’s usage across England as well as in export markets such as Australia. Following the garment’s decline in the late 19th century, the book investigates how this essentially utilitarian style of workwear came to be held up as an example of disappearing ‘peasant’ craft in an emotional response to urbanisation, and how it was preserved by collectors under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Around the turn of the 20th century, the smock frock was reinvented as both women’s and children’s wear and is now regularly revived in fashion collections by the likes of Molly Goddard. Drawing together extensive visual and material cultures, Alison Toplis unravels a new history of the smock frock.
Philosophy, Literature and Understanding
Authors: Mikkonen Jukka 
Published: February 2021

Challenging existing methodological conceptions of the analytic approach to aesthetics, Jukka Mikkonen brings together philosophy, literary studies and cognitive psychology to offer a new theory on the cognitive value of reading fiction.
Philosophy, Literature and Understanding defends the epistemic significance of narratives, arguing that it should be explained in terms of understanding rather than knowledge. Mikkonen formulates understanding as a cognitive process, which he connects to narrative imagining in order to assert that narrative is a central tool for communicating understanding. Demonstrating the effects that literary works have on their readers, he examines academic critical analysis, responses of the reading public and nonfictional writings that include autobiographical testimony to their writer’s influences and attitudes to life. In doing so, he provides empirical evidence of the cognitive benefits of literature and of how readers demonstrate the growth of their understanding.
By drawing on the written testimony of the reader, this book is an important intervention into debates on the value of literature that incorporates understanding in new and imaginative ways
Free Zone Scientology
Authors: Thomas Aled 
Published: February 2021

In this novel academic study, Aled Thomas analyses modern issues surrounding boundaries and fluidity in contemporary Scientology. By using the Scientologist practice of ‘auditing’ as a case study, this book explores the ways in which new types of ‘Scientologies’ can emerge. The notion of Free Zone Scientology is characterised by its horizontal structure, in contrast to the vertical-hierarchy of the institutional Church of Scientology. With this in mind, Thomas explores the Free Zone as an example of a developing and fluid religion, directly addressing questions concerning authority, leadership and material objects.
This book, by maintaining a double-focus on the top-down hierarchy of the Church of Scientology and the horizontal-fluid nature of the Free Zone, breaks away from previous research on new religions, with have tended to focus either on new religions as indices of broad social processes, such as secularization or globalization, or as exemplars of exotic processes, such as charismatic authority and brainwashing. Instead, Thomas adopts auditing as a method of providing an in-depth case study of a new religion in transition and transformation in the 21st century. This opens the study of contemporary and new religions to a series of new questions around hybrid religions (sacred and secular), and acts as a framework for the study of similar movements formed in recent decades.
Jean-Jacques Lebel and French Happenings of the 1960s
Authors: Fredrickson Laurel Jean 
Published: February 2021

Combining a broad overview of Jean-Jacques Lebel’s coming-of-age among Surrealists and his rupture with the movement, Laurel Jean Fredrickson focuses on two landmark happenings in this book: the first, “Funeral of the Thing of Tinguely” (1960), and the most scandalous, “120 Minutes dedicated to the Divine Marquis” (1966). This study illustrates the development and significance of French happenings in relation to cultural and political changes of the 1960s.
Research in Lebel’s archives, and others like the Archives nationale d’outre-mer are indispensable in the telling of this extraordinary historical and theoretical narrative. It illuminates sensitive, often veiled dimensions of postwar French society, from torture during the Algerian War, to government censorship, to the sexual politics of nudity in art. This volume shows how Lebel synthesized the lessons of Dada and surrealism and 1960s experimentalism, electrified by political radicalism, to participate in shaping the erotics and forms of revolution in May 1968.
General Principles as a Source of International Law
Authors: Saunders Imogen 
Published: February 2021

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of an often neglected, misunderstood and maligned source of international law. Article 38(1)(c) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice sets out that the Court will apply the ‘general principles of law recognized by civilized nations’. This source is variously lauded and criticised: held up as a panacea to all international law woes or denied even normative validity. The contrasting views and treatments of General Principles stem from a lack of a model of the source itself. This book provides that model, offering a new and rigorous understanding of Article 38(1)(c) that will be of immense value to scholars and practitioners of international law alike.
At the heart of the book is a new tetrahedral framework of analysis – looking to function, type, methodology and jurisprudential legitimacy. Adopting an historical approach, the book traces the development of the source from 1875 to 2019, encompassing jurisprudence of the Permanent Court of International Justice and the International Court of Justice as well as cases from international criminal tribunals, the International Criminal Court and the World Trade Organization. The book argues for precision in identifying cases that actually apply General Principles, and builds upon these ‘proper use’ cases to advance a comprehensive model of General Principles, advocating for a global approach to the methodology of the source.

Rebecca
Authors: White Patricia 
Published: February 2021

The 1940 film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s gothic romance Rebecca begins by echoing the novel’s famous opening line, ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.’ Patricia White takes the theme of return as her starting point for an exploration of the film’s enduring power. Drawing on archival research, she shows how the production and reception history of Rebecca, the first fruit of the collaboration between Hollywood movie producer David O. Selznick and British director Alfred Hitchcock, is marked by the traces of women’s contributions.
White provides a rich analysis of the film, addressing the gap between perception and reality that is constantly in play in the gothic romance, and highlighting the queer erotics circulating around ‘I’ (the heroine), Mrs Danvers, and the dead but ever-present Rebecca. Her discussion of the film’s afterlives emphasizes the lasting aesthetic impact of this dark masterpiece of memory and desire, while her attention to its remakes and sequels speaks to the ongoing relevance of its vision of gender and power.

Tinjauan Yuridis Terhadap Pembagian Harta Waris Beda Agama Menurut Kitab Undang Undang Hukum Perdata (Kuh Perdata) Dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI)
Authors: Hariyanto Budi 
Published: February 2021

Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pembagian harta waris terhadap perkawinan beda agama menurut Kitab Undang–Undang Hukum Perdata (KUH Perdata) dan bagaimana pembagian harta waris terhadap perkawinan beda agama menurut Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif. Dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (KUH Perdata) terkait status hak waris beda agama terletak pada Pasal 838 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (KUH Perdata) dimana dalam pasal tersebut menyatakan bahwa yang tidak patut menjadi ahli waris adalah mereka yang dipersalahkan telah membunuh, memfitnah pewaris telah melakukan suatu kejahatan dengan hukuman lima tahun penjara, melakuan kekerasan, dan juga telah menggelapkan, merusak atau memalsukan surat wasiat. Karena, menurut Pasal 832 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (KUH Perdata) yang berhak menjadi ahli waris ialah, para keluarga sedarah, baik sah maupun luar kawin dan si suami atau istri yang hidup terlama. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam Kitab Undang Undang Hukum Perdata (Burgerlijk Wetboek) tidak ada mengenal perbedaan agama sebagai penghalang mewarisi, dengan kata lain sah sah saja orang yang berbeda agama menjadi pewaris atau mewarisi. Sedangkan dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam perbedaan agama adalah menjadi penghalang seseorang untuk mendapatkan warisan dari si pewaris. Konsep Kompilasi Hukum Islam ( KHI ) mengenai status hak waris beda agama terletak dalam Pasal 171 Huruf C Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) yang berbunyi, ahli waris adalah orang yang pada saat meninggal dunia mempunyai hubungan darah atau hubungan perkawinan dengan pewaris, beragama Islam, dan tidak terhalang karena hukum untuk menjadi ahli waris. Serta diperkuat dengan Hadits Rasulullah, yang artinya “Orang muslim tidak mewarisi orang kafir (begitu juga sebaliknya) orang kafir tidak mewarisi orang muslim.
