Authors: Tsigereda Asamenew  , Seble Worku  , Hilina Motbainor  , Daniel Mekonnen  , Awoke Deribe  
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections and the most common antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. It is associated with a variety of infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of P. aeruginosa and its antimicrobial resistance profile from different clinical specimens at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Referral Hospital (DTCRH).
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2022 at DTCRH. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Clinical samples (blood, wound swab, urine, and sputum) were collected from 348 study participants and processed following the standard bacteriological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25 statistical software. Descriptive statistics was used to present the findings of the study.
RESULTS: The prevalence of P.aeruginosa was 74(19.3%). The detection of the isolates was different based on the type of samples that ranged from 0% to 54.5% from sputum and wound swabs, respectively. P.aeruginosa showed resistance against gentamicin at 62.2%, ceftazidime 51.4%, cefepime 50%, amikacin 29.7%, imipenem 28.4% and ciprofloxacin 14.9%. The level of multi-drug resistance (MDR) was 45.9%, and the suspicious extreme-drug resistance (XDR) rate was 9.5%. Being inpatient and wound swab samples were factors associated with the detection of P.aeruginosa from clinical samples.
CONCLUSION: The antibiotic resistance profile of P. aeruginosa isolates in the present study area was found to be alarming. Actions to minimize the effect of antimicrobial resistance should be strengthened, and further large-scale study should be conducted to find out the main reasons behind antibiotic resistance of P.aeruginosa and other clinically relevant isolates.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Globally, there were 241 million cases of malaria in 2020, with an estimated 627,000 deaths with Nigeria accounting for 27% of the global malaria cases. In sub-Saharan Africa, testing is low with only 28% of children with a fever receiving medical advice or a rapid diagnostic test in 2021. In Nigeria, there are documented reports of over-diagnosis and over-treatment of malaria in children. Therefore, this study examined the diagnosis of malaria at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.
METHODS: A 5-year (2018-2022) retrospective study was carried out at the Emergency Pediatric Unit (EPU). Records of all children presenting to the EPU with an assessment of malaria were retrieved and reviewed. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23.
RESULTS: Out of 206 children reviewed, 128 (62.1%) were tested using either malaria RDT or microscopy while 78(37.9%) were not tested. Out of the number tested, 59(46.1%) were negative while 69(53.9%) tested positive, of which 14(20.3%) had uncomplicated malaria while 55(79.7%) had severe malaria. However, while 97.1% (n=67) of the positive cases were treated with IV artesunate, 69.5% (n=41) of those who tested negative and 88.5% (69) of those who were not tested also received IV artesunate. Moreover, while 85.5% (n=59) of those who tested positive received oral artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), 72.9% (n=43) of those who tested negative and 67.9% (53) of those who were not tested also received oral ACT.
CONCLUSION: There was over-diagnosis of malaria, and subsequently, over-treatment. Hence continued emphasis on parasitological confirmation of malaria before treatment is recommended.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and postoperative complications of preoperative submucosal dexamethasone injection compared to preoperative dexamethasone injection into the pterygomandibular space for surgical extraction of the impacted lower third molar.

Study design and setting: This was a quasi-experimental, cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dow International Dental College, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, from April to July 2021.

Methodology: The study sample consisted of 72 patients who reported surgical extraction of their lower wisdom teeth and consented to participate in this study. The patients were randomly divided into the submucosal injection group (SM) and the pterygomandibular space (PM) group. The injection time was recorded on the second and seventh postoperative days. Results: No significant differences in the duration of the intervention were observed between the two groups (23.08 min in PM, 23.07 min in SM). The postoperative facial swelling was significantly reduced transversely (ear lobe to the angle

of the mouth) in both groups compared to their respective baselines on the first postoperative day. On the secondpostoperative day, significant changes were observed in the submucosal group in postoperative swelling.

Conclusions: Using intraoral dexamethasone injections in third molar surgery significantly reduces conventional complications of surgery while avoiding the systemic side effects of steroids. Dexamethasone should be used regardless of the administration site when warranted, with less apprehension than is common in dentistry
¿Una cárcel sin rejas? Repensando críticamente la intervención social en una casa de acogida para mujeres presas
Authors: Valenzuela Vela Lorena 
Published: July 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre cómo experimentan las mujeres privadas de libertad su salida de los centros penitenciarios ordinarios, en concreto, analizo las formas en que la casa de acogida combina funciones como dispositivo de control y de acompañamiento en sus permisos y salidas. En este contexto, las fronteras entre el adentro y el afuera de la prisión parecen diluirse y cobrando cada vez más importancia explorar las continuidades-discontinuidades del castigo. Esto me lleva a reflexionar, desde la metodología etnográfica, sobre cómo, una vez que salen, viven otros tipos de encierros a través de la extensión del control. Las experiencias de privación de libertad de las mujeres están marcadas por distintas capas entretejidas de control social, aparte del propio sistema penitenciario. En este contexto, este recurso externo de acogida constituye una de ellas, pues nos permite examinar cómo este control continúa estando presente en las vidas en semi-libertad y, en ocasiones, en libertad. Un trabajo de campo realizado entre 2017 y 2021 en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía, en un centro penitenciario ordinario y un centro de inserción social mixtos, en un recurso de Casa de Acogida para mujeres en segundo y tercer grado y en una asociación que interviene en prisión y acompaña procesos en el exterior.

Authors: Belém Gustavo de Castro 
Published: July 2024

Pelo muito amor que lhe tenho se situa na intercessão entre campos variados da historiografia. Fabrício Vinhas Manini Angelo investiga as famílias das Minas setecentistas - especificamente, na comarca do Rio das Velhas -, entre 1717 e 1780, a partir dos afetos que entrelaçavam os indivíduos residentes na região. Nesse sentido, adota uma perspectiva dos arranjos familiares que não se resume à reiteração dos modelos presentes na tradição católica lusitana. Ao contrário, reconhece a complexidade das relações que marcaram a sociedade mineira à época, abrangendo desde uniões implícitas que deixaram apenas vislumbres na documentação até o trato tumultuoso entre integrantes de uma mesma família.

Are Indian Universities Decolonizing Their Curricula? Investigating Reasons for the Slow(er) Development of Decolonizing the Curriculum (DTC) in India
Authors: Dwivedi Om Prakash , Lau Lisa 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
There is growing recognition that many university curricula are not necessarily fully fit for purpose in the twenty-first century, being elitist, narrow, and unrepresentative; lacking relevance to the students, lacking diversity, lacking inclusivity. However, ironically, given that Decolonizing the Curriculum (DTC) work is supposed to give prominence to othered knowledges, particularly that from the Global South, much DTC work is still being led from and by the West, by former empires/superpowers and former colonialists. In India, it appears universities have been slow to embrace DTC. This article therefore attempts to address this gap by turning our overdue attention to the situation in Indian academia, asking questions about universities’ and academics’ willingness to decolonize their curricula, and seeking to understand the current awareness and perceptions of and barriers to DTC in India.
Acid Attack Survivors in Popular Culture and the Quest for Human Rights
Authors: Mittal Shalini 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Acid attack is a gender-based violence, the historical roots of which can be traced back to Victorian-era Britain and Europe. Over the years, acid emerged as a preferred choice of weapon in several other countries. The victims of acid violence are forced to live a life of suffering due to the resultant emotional and physical scars. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and drawing on examples from literature, movies, and other media, the article will examine the popular culture portrayal of acid attack victims through the lens of Hall’s encoding/decoding model. It examines the ways in which narratives of acid attack victims are depicted and consumed by the public. Moreover, the article highlights the role of the popular media in challenging and perpetuating these narratives and the immense potential it holds to shape public discourse and policy surrounding human rights issues. The article discusses the human rights of the acid attack victims through the lens of Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach. Additionally, the article underscores the need for amplifying the voices and experiences of the acid attack victims in popular culture—thereby advocating for greater awareness, empathy, and activism.

The World in Ruins: Wordsworth, Du Bois, and Silko
Authors: Cladis Mark 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
For W. E. B. Du Bois and Leslie Silko, ruins are sites of haunting pain and injustice as well as of liberatory hope and renovation. Reflecting on the image of the ruin in their writings against the backdrop of Romanticism, this article depicts two Romantic conceptions of ruins: the picturesque ruin and the Wordsworthian prophetic ruin. Against these contrasting employments of the ruin, the article discusses how Du Bois and Silko subvert the picturesque ruin and radically extend and transform the prophetic ruin. The article then claims that some ruins are so catastrophic, it is not much of an exaggeration to speak of a ruined planet due to such forces as white supremacy, settler colonialism, and climate change. The present article concludes by reflecting on the work of renovation—that is, rebuilding in the shadows of the ruin having learned from its lessons, history, and ghosts.
The Gulf War in Saudi Fiction
Authors: Albalawi Mohammed 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
There exists only limited scholarship on Saudi novelists as producers of war literature. Research into Saudi fiction has focused on the questions of its historical development, universality, women’s writing, and the reluctance of earlier writers to negotiate socio-political and psychological dimensions compared with the candidness and boldness of contemporary writers portraying these taboo subjects and daring to investigate unexplored regions of human consciousness. This article, however, diverges, using select novels to critique fictional treatment of the Gulf War by Saudi writers. Two prominent American war novels will be used as reference points through which to determine the similarities and differences between the Saudi war novel and its American counterpart. Putting Saudi novels that deal with the theme of war on a par with some American literature that has the same focus aims to uncover patterns of similarity and highlight differences. The goal is ultimately to show how Saudi fiction saw the war while establishing a war narrative that lends the story coherence and meaning.
