Family(jiārénmen) is not a family: a study on the construction of pragmatic identities in the generalization of Internet address term “jiārénmen”
Authors: Wang Junling , Mao Yansheng , Zhao Kaihang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the generalization of the Internet address term “family” (jiārénmen), a recently emerging phenomenon in language use from the perspective of Pragmatic Identity Theory. The main thrust of this research is to reveal the pragmatic identities and pragmatic functions involved in the use of “family” (jiārénmen). The core point has been arrived at by using a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses to explore relevant cases collected from WeChat, Weibo, and in-person conversations. Research findings demonstrated that in different contexts, the address term “family” (jiārénmen) can construct various pragmatic identities, all of which belong to the deviational identity opposite to the default identity. Notably, the construction of these identities functions to patch up address terms slot, promote relationships, and satisfy transactional needs. Furthermore, the generalization of the address term “family” (jiārénmen) mirrors the effect of the psychological mechanism of communicators and the Chinese family culture on discourse practice. The findings above contribute to extending the research line of Internet address term generalization, as well as a deeper understanding of the mechanism of the Internet address term “family” (jiārénmen) towards a harmonious language-using environment.

Abstract
The thinner flaked Al powders are used to improve the strength of the B4C/Al composite. The effect of the flaked Al powder on distribution of B4C particles is investigated. The tensile properties of the B4C/Al composites with the flaked Al powders are also studied. The results show that during ball milling process, spherical Al powders are flaked with the thinner thicknesses and larger diameters. The thinner flaked Al powders are not easy to be deformed and are bonded together as the laminated structure after thermal compression. B4C particles are evenly dispersed and embedded in Al laminated structure. With increasing the volume fraction of B4C particles, the deformation of the thinner flaked Al powders become difficult and the thinner flaked Al powders coat on the surface of B4C particles, resulting in the disappearance of the laminated structure of the thinner flaked Al powder.

Resemblance as a Passing Quality: Liotard, La Tour, and the Question of Le Faire in Eighteenth-Century Portraiture
Authors: Koos Marianne 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
According to Diderot, ressemblance was a central quality in eighteenth-century portraiture – and yet it was ultimately less important than the particular manner of execution, le faire. Bold brushstrokes, art critics agreed in Paris around 1750, not only enliven the subject, but also testify to the artistic enthousiasme, the genius of a painter. While Maurice-Quentin de La Tour perfectly served this ideal with his bravura pastel portraits, his greatest rival at the time, Jean-Étienne Liotard, decidedly turned against this ideal. Concentrating on Liotard’s programmatic painting The Breakfast (exhibited in the Académie de Saint-Luc’s Salon of 1752), this article compares the different pictorial concepts of Liotard and La Tour, illuminates the contemporary discussion on execution, and ultimately asks about the strategies Liotard devised in order not to be overlooked as the author of his paintings despite his smooth finish.
Roman law on the river ‘Hooghly’: An Excerpt from the history of colonial legal education
Authors: Lacis Victoria 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBritish Colonial rule in India led to legal pluralism which colonial civil servants and judges had to deal with in their day-to-day duties. After a brief overview of colonial legal administration in India, this paper will illustrate how future civil servants and judges were educated and prepared for their legal duties in India and what part Roman law played in that. One focus of their legal education lay on the law of property and possession as it assumed particular practical relevance in colonial India. The paper will trace how a Roman rule of property law travelled to Haileybury College in Hertfordshire, England and to the East India Company's courts in India.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular organism that is sexually transmitted and mostly asymptomatic. It is capable of tubal damage with subsequent tubal ectopic pregnancy. IgG anti-Chlamydia antibody can be measured in women with past or latent Chlamydia trachomatis infection. This study aimed to determine association between prior Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal ectopic pregnancy, and predictive value of Chlamydia trachomatis IgG for tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Methods: This was a case control study carried out within Jos metropolis within 6 months period (November 2018 to April 2019). Study groups comprised of 40 women with tubal ectopic pregnancy and 40 uncomplicated second trimester pregnant women recruited from Jos University Teaching Hospital, Plateau State Specialist Hospital Jos, and Faith Alive Hospital Jos by convenience sampling. The subjects’ socio-demographic factors, obstetric history, sexual and reproductive risk factors were obtained using study pro forma. Five milliliter of venous blood was collected from subjects to determine proportions and serum levels of IgG anti-Chlamydia antibody in cases and controls using BIOS Chlamydia T. IgG ELISA kits. Data obtained were analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 26.
Results: Patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy demonstrated significant evidence of prior Chlamydia trachomatis infection compared with intrauterine pregnant controls (45.0% versus 15.0%, p value =0.003), 4.6-fold risk association for tubal ectopic pregnancy (OR =4.63, 1.593-13.494; p value =0.005), and 75% positive predictive value.
Conclusions: This study revealed an association between prior Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal ectopic pregnancy with Chlamydia IgG having good predictive value for tubal pregnancy.

In India, about 12% of the population has kidney stones, and out of these about 50% may end up with some kidney function loss or renal damage percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is accepted as the procedure of choice for large or complex renal stones. Significant post-operative pain can occur after PCNL in first 24 hours due to distension in the renal capsule and pelvicalyceal system. The study aim was to compare the efficacy of ultrasonography guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block with erector spinae plane block in PCNL. This observational study included 67 consecutive cases (16-65 years, ASA grade I-II) divided into 2 groups. Group A (n=33) received subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block and Group B (n=34) received erector spinae plane block (ESPB). Post operative pain in terms of pain scores, opioid consumption, requirement of rescue analgesic in first 24 hours was noted. Quality of recovery and any adverse events were also noted. Post-operative opioid consumption was significantly less in ESPB group (34.41 ± 27.32 mcg), compared to SCTAP Group (270.91 ± 121.41 mcg). Group B patients had better post operative quality of recovery compared to Group A patients. VAS pain scores at almost all time-points were lower in the ESPB group. ESPB provided effective postoperative analgesia and reduced fentanyl consumption postoperatively compared to SCTAP block.

The infraclavicular block (ICB) can avoid some of the side effects of the supraclavicular block (SCB) like hemi-diaphragmatic palsy. This study aimed to analyze the comparative efficacy of supraclavicular block versus combined infraclavicular block and suprascapular block.Patients undergoing upper limb surgery under general anaesthesia were randomized into group S (to receive supraclavicular brachial plexus block) and group I (to receive infraclavicular brachial plexus block and suprascapular nerve block). Onset times and the duration of both sensory and motor block was noted in both the groups. Postoperative pain as assessed by NRS score and total fentanyl requirement was noted for 24 hours. : The group S showed a significantly faster onset of both sensory (8.47±3.12) vs. 13.75±4.69; p&#60;0.001) and motor blocks (15.56±5.32 vs. 24.17±5.67; p&#60;0.001). The duration of sensory block was significantly greater in the group I, with no significant difference in the duration of motor block.We also noted hemi diaphragmatic paresis (27.8%) and paralysis (8.3%) only in the SCB group.For the patients undergoing upper limb surgeries, the use of ICB+SSB block as compared to the SCB block resulted in increased duration of sensory block; however, the fentanyl consumption was not significantly reduced.

: Severe postoperative pain is the most common complaint following Functional endoscopic sinus surgeries (FESS) and reconstructive nasal surgeries. Sensory, autonomic nerves supplying paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and palate relay in sphenopalatine ganglion. Bilateral Sphenopalatine ganglion block can be an effective regional anaesthetic technique for post-operative analgesia. We conducted a study with ultrasound-guided bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block as the sole analgesic compared to Fentanyl in patients undergoing FESS & reconstructive nasal surgeries performed under general anaesthesia. The primary objective of our study was to assess the analgesic effect, quality, and duration of analgesia of ultrasound guided bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block as a sole analgesic. In addition, the secondary aim was to further evaluate the adverse effects.With Institutional ethical committee approval and written informed consent, we conducted this study with two groups of 30 patients each. The surgical procedure was performed under general anaesthesia. At the end of the surgery and before the reversal of neuromuscular blockade, bilateral sphenopalatine plexus block was performed under ultrasound guidance in interventional Group (A) with a mixture of 0.25% Ropivacaine, Dexamethasone 4mg 7.5ml each side, whereas the control Group (B) received fentanyl 2ug/kg intraoperatively. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were evaluated soon after extubating (0hrs) and up to 48 hrs postoperatively in all patients.There was no significant difference in VAS scores at 0hrs, 2hrs between both groups. Interventional group(A) had statistically significant lower scores (P &#60;0.00) 4hrs onwards till 48hrs than in control group(B). No adverse events were noted with minimal postoperative analgesic requirement in group(A) (P &#60;0.000).: We conclude, that ultrasound-guided bilateral sphenopalatine block is a safe and effective procedure that provides sustained and superior quality of analgesia when compared to fentanyl

: High mortality and morbidity as a result of gastric content aspiration in the perioperative period is common. Therefore, nature and volume of gastric content can be obtained quantitatively and qualitatively by using ultrasonography. In this study we assessed the quantity and quality of gastric content after giving measured volumes of clear liquid orally depending on the body weight, 2 hours before anaesthesia. 132 patients were randomly assigned into four groups. Patients in group A received 0 mL kg-1, group B received 5 mL kg-1, group C received 8 mL kg-1 and group D received 10 mL kg-1 of clear liquid orally 2 hours prior to anaesthesia. Residual volume and content in the gastric antrum were observed by using ultrasonography after 2 hours in both supine and right lateral decubitus position. In our study, 100% of patients in group A, 97% of patients in group B, 81.8% of patients in group C and 69.7% of patients in group D revealed grade 0 antrum (empty stomach) with P value &#60;0.05. Remaining patients showed grade 1 (empty only in supine) and grade 2 antrum (not empty in both supine and right lateral decubitus) with liquid as their main gastric content respectively. Majority of patients showed empty stomach after administration of clear fluids given orally upto 5 mL kg-1 2 hours prior to anaesthesia.

: In regional blocks, dexamethasone and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) have been used as an adjunct to local anesthesia. But more research needs to be done on each one's effectiveness. This study aims to assess the efficacy of dexamethasone 4mg and MgSO4 150mg as an adjunct to ropivacaine 0.375% in transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cesarean section under subarachnoid block (SAB).: Ninety patients undergoing cesarean section under SAB belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II, were recruited and randomised in three groups. Each group comprised of 30 patients. Group RS received 20ml 0.375% ropivacaine with 2 ml normal saline, Group RD received 20ml 0.375% ropivacaine with 4 mg dexamethasone and Group RM received 20ml 0.375% ropivacaine with 150 mg MgSO4.Time to first analgesic request, VAS score at rest and movement, patient satisfaction score, hemodynamic parameters and side effects were recorded in each group post-TAP block for 24 hours. Time to first analgesic request was significantly longer in group RD (814.0± 277.3 min) compared to group RM (606.5 ± 279.9 min) and group RS (545.5 ± 254.3 min) (p = 0.001). The mean value of tramadol requirement was statistically higher in Group RS compared to Group RD and Group RM (p&#60;0.001). The mean differences in VAS score at rest and movement at 6 & 8 h was significantly lower in dexamethasone and MgSO4 compared to control group p=0.001. The addition of dexamethasone to ropivacaine in TAP block significantly prolonged the duration of analgesia, reducing the need for systemic analgesia with minimal side effects.

Persistent hiccups in neurocritical care patients can lead to negative outcomes, including exhaustion, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, depression, and even death. This study aims to evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics, risk factors, and management in trauma intensive care unit patients. This study investigates persistent hiccups in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients admitted to the Trauma ICU at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, from July 2020 to January 2024. The study involved monitoring and recording hiccups during patients' ICU stays. Exclusion criteria included not participating, having GERD, advanced cancer, spinal cord injury, other CNS pathologies, deranged liver and renal profile, or on drugs causing hiccups, on sedative and neuro-muscular blocking agents. The study involved 59.8% of patients aged &#60;40 years, with a mean age of 41.75±17.16 years. Most patients were male, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.88:1. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were present in 60.3% of patients, followed by falls from height (17.5%). 75.7% of patients had severe type TBI, while the remaining had moderate type TBI. Out of 189 patients, 86 (45.5%) died and 103 (54.5%) survived. Age was a significant factor in TBI-related persistent hiccups, with severe TBI significantly associated with female gender and ventilator-associated pneumonia and the need for mechanical ventilation. The type of TBI (moderate or severe) and length of ICU stay were also associated with TBI-related persistent hiccups. A strong relationship was observed between severe TBI patients who fall from height and were not responsive to drugs for hiccups compared to moderate TBI. The length of ICU stay was also associated with TBI-related persistent hiccups, with patients with a length of ICU stay of &#62;14 days having a higher risk of hiccups.Severe TBI is linked to female gender, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and mechanical ventilation. The type of TBI and length of ICU stay are also linked to persistent hiccups. Patients with severe TBI who fell from height are less responsive to hiccup drugs. Patients with over 14 days of ICU stay have a higher risk of developing persistent hiccups.

: Patients scheduled for laparoscopic appendicectomy encounter moderate to severe shoulder pain on the first postoperative day. Intraperitoneal nebulization of local anaesthetics is a new technique which provides uniform spread of local anaesthetic drug particles all through the peritoneum thus providing enhanced analgesic efficacy when compared to intraperitoneal instillation which provides non uniform distribution of the drug. : Fifty participants posted for laparoscopic appendicectomy under general anesthesia were randomized into Group A (Intraperitoneal nebulization of 8ml ropivacaine 0.75%) and Group B (intraperitoneal instillation of 8ml ropivacaine 0.75%). Our primary aim was to evaluate analgesic efficacy in both the groups postoperatively. Our secondary objectives were to compare the incidence of shoulder pain post operatively, total 48 hours fentanyl consumption and postoperative complications like nausea & vomiting and paralytic ileus. : There was statistically significance in the pain scores at 24 hours (static pain p=0.003 and dynamic pain p=0.005) & at 48 hours after surgery (static pain p=0.00 and dynamic pain p=0.015). Significant difference was seen in the incidence of shoulder pain. In Group A, no patients complained pain in shoulders while in Group B a maximum of 6 patients complained shoulder pain postoperatively (p=0.022). The total fentanyl consumption over 48 hours was 0.20 ± 0.005 in Group A and 0.80 ± 0.957 in Group B (p = 0.008). Occurrence of postoperative Nausea & Vomiting were similar in both groups. None of the patients complained paralytic ileus in both groups as systemic absorption of the ropivacaine is also considerably less in comparison to other local anaesthetic drugs . : Intraperitoneal nebulized ropivacaine provides greater reduction in postop pain, lesser consumption of opioids, reduction in referred shoulder pain in laparoscopic appendicectomy patients.
