The Usage of Social Media as a Public Sphere in Discussing the Death of Queen Elizabeth Ii
Authors: Adams Emmanuel Jibb 
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the role of social media platforms as public spheres following the demise of Queen Elizabeth II. Rooted in Public Sphere theory by Habermas (1962), the research seeks to uncover dominant themes, frames, and overall sentiment surrounding the discourse, contributing to the understanding of public engagement in the digital age. Employing a mixed content analysis approach, the study examines user-generated content from a diverse array of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others. By scrutinizing discussions across these platforms, the research endeavors to capture the breadth and depth of public sentiment and dialogue regarding the late monarch's legacy. Initial findings suggest that discussions on Queen Elizabeth II's impact extend beyond national boundaries, with users expressing gratitude for her unifying role and representation of national identity. Furthermore, the study explores the nuanced nature of social media responses, reflecting a spectrum of emotions ranging from sorrow and admiration to critical reflection and debate. The study's conclusion emphasizes the significance of social media platforms in shaping contemporary public discourse and recommends enhancements to facilitate more constructive conversations and interactions. By leveraging the unique affordances of digital platforms, social media can serve as dynamic public spheres, fostering dialogue and understanding in an increasingly interconnected world.

Modularisation of the University Curriculum in Zimbabwe: Perceptions of Lecturers and Students
Authors: Claretah Makuvire , Mhishi Misheck 
Published: July 2024

The study explores the attitude of lecturers and students towards modularization in Zimbabwean Universities. A qualitative case study methodology involving the administration of questionnaires to fifteen students and in-depth interviews on six lecturers from three selected universities was adopted. The overall finding from the study participants was that the new teaching regime is efficient and has numerous advantages. The absence of proper consultation with stakeholders and dissemination of information regarding the educational reform raised concerns among lecturers. As a result, mixed attitudes were observed among both lecturers and students due to this weakness in the implementation process. The study therefore, recommends that the administration should reconsider the modularization system in order to address all concerns raised by educational stakeholders for a more effective implementation of the teaching and learning reform.

BACKGROUND
Colorectal polyps that develop via the conventional adenoma-carcinoma sequence [e.g. , tubular adenoma (TA)] often progress to malignancy and are closely associated with changes in the composition of the gut microbiome. There is limited research concerning the microbial functions and gut microbiomes associated with colorectal polyps that arise through the serrated polyp pathway, such as hyperplastic polyps (HP). Exploration of microbiome alterations associated with HP and TA would improve the understanding of mechanisms by which specific microbes and their metabolic pathways contribute to colorectal carcinogenesis.
AIM
To investigate gut microbiome signatures, microbial associations, and microbial functions in HP and TA patients.
METHODS
Full-length 16S rRNA sequencing was used to characterize the gut microbiome in stool samples from control participants without polyps [control group (CT), n = 40], patients with HP (n = 52), and patients with TA (n = 60). Significant differences in gut microbiome composition and functional mechanisms were identified between the CT group and patients with HP or TA. Analytical techniques in this study included differential abundance analysis, co-occurrence network analysis, and differential pathway analysis.
RESULTS
Colorectal cancer (CRC)-associated bacteria, including Streptococcus gallolyticus (S. gallolyticus ), Bacteroides fragilis , and Clostridium symbiosum , were identified as characteristic microbial species in TA patients. Mediterraneibacter gnavus, associated with dysbiosis and gastrointestinal diseases, was significantly differentially abundant in the HP and TA groups. Functional pathway analysis revealed that HP patients exhibited enrichment in the sulfur oxidation pathway exclusively, whereas TA patients showed dominance in pathways related to secondary metabolite biosynthesis (e.g. , mevalonate); S. gallolyticus was a major contributor. Co-occurrence network and dynamic network analyses revealed co-occurrence of dysbiosis-associated bacteria in HP patients, whereas TA patients exhibited co-occurrence of CRC-associated bacteria. Furthermore, the co-occurrence of SCFA-producing bacteria was lower in TA patients than HP patients.
CONCLUSION
This study revealed distinct gut microbiome signatures associated with pathways of colorectal polyp development, providing insights concerning the roles of microbial species, functional pathways, and microbial interactions in colorectal carcinogenesis.

Suicide is a serious global public health issue. Suicide refers to the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. The aim of the study is to find the pattern of suicidal deaths and to identify the high-risk groups. The study was carried out in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad, Telangana. This was based on the observation of 200 deaths due to suicides in 18 to 45 age group during the study period January 2020 to July 2021. It is observed that majority of victims were aged between 18-25 years (33.50%) and married (61.50%). Males (77.00%) are more victims as compared to females. The leading motive behind suicide was emotional factors (32.5%) and most commonly adopted method to commit suicide was hanging (41.50%). Health education, counselling, timely crisis intervention either by medical or social methods will reduce the number of suicide victims.
Study Of Pattern Of Death In Unclaimed Dead Bodies Autopsied In A Tertiary Care Hospital – An Autopsy Based Cross Sectional Study

Article 6 of universal declaration of Human Rights states that “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law”. Identification means the determination of the individuality or recognition of that person or dead body based on certain physical characters unique to that individual. It may be complete or partial. Complete identification means the absolute fixation of the individuality of a person, while partial identification means ascertainment of only some facts like race, sex, age and stature. Visual identification is not reliable in majority of the cases, therefore two important identification marks should be noted in live and dead cases. The description should contain anatomical land mark, size; colour either raised or not raised from surface and if no distinct mark is available left thumb impression may be taken. Other points which are considered in establishment of identity are race, religion, sex, age, and other age related changes, acquired peculiarities like mole, tattoos, and congenital deformity. In decomposed and mutilated cases accurate identification is needed for establishment of corpus delicti after homicide. The identification of cadavers is a crucial issue in forensic setting, but the official extent of this problem is still poorly known in most countries. The fact that an underestimated problem of unclaimed decedents exists can be seen from the very small number of published articles on the topic.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Little is known about disparities in diagnosis and treatment among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with and without disabilities.
AIM
To investigate the patterns of diagnosis, treatment, and survival for people with and without disabilities who had CRC.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective analysis using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, disability registration data, and Korean Central Cancer Registry data. The analysis included 21449 patients with disabilities who were diagnosed with CRC and 86492 control patients diagnosed with CRC.
RESULTS
The overall distribution of CRC stage was not affected by disability status. Subjects with disabilities were less likely than those without disabilities to undergo surgery [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.85; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.82-0.88], chemotherapy (aOR: 0.84; 95%CI: 0.81-0.87), or radiotherapy (aOR: 0.90; 95%CI: 0.84-0.95). The rate of no treatment was higher in patients with disabilities than in those without disabilities (aOR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.41-1.55). The overall mortality rate was higher in patients with disabilities [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.24; 95%CI: 1.22-1.28], particularly severe disabilities (aHR: 1.57; 95%CI: 1.51-1.63), than in those without disabilities.
CONCLUSION
Patients with severe disabilities tended to have a late or unknown diagnosis. Patients with CRC and disabilities had lower rates of treatment with almost all modalities compared with those without disabilities. During the follow-up period, the mortality rate was higher in patients with disabilities than in those without disabilities. The diagnosis and treatment of CRC need improvement in patients with disabilities.
Effectiveness and safety of sequential transarterial chemoembolization and microwave ablation for subphrenic hepatocellular carcinoma: A comprehensive evaluation
Authors: Zhu Zi-Yi , Qian Zhen , Qin Zhong-Qiang , Xie Bo , Wei Jian-Zhu , Yang Pei-Pei , Yuan Mu 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Subphrenic carcinoma has been identified as a significant risk factor for the thermal ablation of intrahepatic tumors, resulting in a high rate of residual tumor recurrence. Some studies have proposed that combination treatment with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) followed by radiofrequency ablation is both feasible and safe for tumors in the subphrenic region. However, research specifically examining the therapeutic outcomes of combination therapy using TACE and microwave ablation (TACE-MWA) in subphrenic tumors is lacking.
AIM
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE-MWA in patients with subphrenic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODS
Between December 2017 and December 2021, 49 patients diagnosed with HCC ≤ 6 cm, who received TACE-MWA, were included in this retrospective cohort study. These patients were classified into subphrenic and non-subphrenic groups based on the distance between the diaphragm and the tumor margin. The rates of local tumor progression (LTP), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups. Complications were evaluated by using a grading system developed by the Society of Interventional Radiology.
RESULTS
After a median follow-up time of 38 mo, there were no significant differences in LTP between the subphrenic and non-subphrenic groups (27.3% and 22.2% at 5 years, respectively; P = 0.66), PFS (55.5% at 5 years in both groups; P = 0.91), and OS (85.0% and 90.9% in the subphrenic and non-subphrenic groups at 5 years; P = 0.57). However, a significantly higher rate of LTP was observed in subphrenic HCC > 3 cm compared to those ≤ 3 cm (P = 0.085). The dosage of iodized oil [hazard ratio (HR): 1.52; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-2.08; P = 0.009] and multiple tumors (HR: 13.22; 95%CI: 1.62-107.51; P = 0.016) were independent prognostic factors for LTP. There were no significant differences in complication rates between the two groups (P = 0.549).
CONCLUSION
Combined TACE and MWA was practical and safe for managing subphrenic HCC. The efficacy and safety levels did not vary significantly when tumors outside the subphrenic region were treated.
