Published: August 2024

One segment of the intestine telescopes into another, resulting in obstruction or intestinal ischemia. A pathological lead point, such as a tumor, causes the disease. A pathologic lead point in the lumen, wall, or outside the wall can cause adult intussusception (AI). Retrospective case series of eight patients diagnosed with AI over 18 years in a tertiary rural tertiary a decade (2010-2020). Out of 8 AI cases6 were women, and 2 were men. The median age at diagnosis was 44 years. AI was verified by USG (25%), with CT scan being (100%) sensitivity preoperatively. AI distribution (2 in the small bowel, four at the ileocecal region, and 2 in the colon). The most commonly reported presenting symptom was abdominal pain. (8/8,100%). 75% (6/8) of patients underwent urgent surgery after presenting with acute intestinal obstruction. At the same time, two cases underwent elective surgery. Out of them, five cases were malignant (adenocarcinoma) (62.5%), and three cases were benign tumors (37.5%). (Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, a Meckel’s diverticulum, and appendicitis). Due to the lack of specific symptoms, the diagnosis of AI by clinicians and surgeons is frequently missed out. When dealing with acute abdominal pain and signs of bowel obstruction, it's important to consider this less common diagnostic possibility because intussusception is a surgical emergency with high mortality rates in the case of delayed treatment. A surgical approach must be practiced to avoid missing underlying causes like neoplasm.

Fracture of clavicle is one of the most common fractures of the shoulder girdle which was treated previously by various conservative methods like figure of 8 bandage and arm sling. However, apart from complications like malunion and non-union, prolonged immobilization led to complications like shoulder stiffness and thereby delayed return to activities. Gradually, many techniques of internal fixation like plating and intramedullary fixation of clavicle have been developed, each one having its own merits and demerits. In this scenario, this study intends to observe the patients who have sustained middle third clavicle fractures treated with plating and their outcomes.To observe the functional outcome of fractures of middle third of clavicle, which are treated surgically by plating and complications of the plating technique30 patients of age from 18 years to 60 years with midshaft clavicle fractures are treated with plate osteosynthesis. They are followed serially and complications encountered are noted. Their functional outcome is calculated using Quick dash score and Constant-Murley score at regular intervals.There is an increased preponderance of fracture clavicle among male patients. Most of the patients are between 30 to 50 years of age. The average time taken for fracture union is 10.5 weeks. The average Constant-Murley score and Quick dash score were 91.1 and 5.96 respectively. There are a few complications like hardware prominence.Plating technique for the treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures helps in early recovery and rehabilitation of patients. It prevents complications like shortening, stiffness of the shoulder etc.

O cenário pandêmico impactou de forma trágica diversas áreas que compõem o sistema de funcionamento da máquina pública, como, à saúde, à economia, à segurança, à educação e as políticas públicas sociais. Nesse contexto, os gestores públicos adotaram uma série de medidas para minimizar os efeitos da pandemia em todos os entes federativos. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como escopo identificar os artigos publicados na literatura científica nacional sobre os desafios enfrentados e as medidas adotadas e/ou recomendadas pelos gestores públicos no que diz respeito à educação frente à pandemia da Covid-19. Salienta-se, que para a produção dessa pesquisa optou-se por um estudo de natureza básica, bem como, uma abordagem qualitativa dos materiais encontrados durante a revisão da literatura em plataformas digitais como Google Acadêmico e Scielo, com artigos publicados no período de 2020 a 2023. Desta forma, os documentos pesquisados, ou seja, os artigos evidenciaram que o gestor público deve ser capaz de tomar decisões diante de qualquer cenário, sendo ele caótico ou não, mas que tenha como foco manter a qualidade da educação e dos demais serviços que são de competência municipal. Por fim, no que tange o pós pandemia, os artigos analisados revelam a necessidade de criar mecanismos que possam contribuir para recuperar e/ou auxiliar no processo de ensino aprendizagem dos alunos que foram impactados educacionalmente em decorrência da pandemia.
Fostering master two students' reading skills via cinematic literature
Authors: Hamimed Nadia 
Published: August 2024

The spread of audio-visual culture and the existence of more and more technologies in student life remind teachers and researchers to incorporate audio-visual materials and e-learning into foreign language teaching, especially literature teaching. One of the most popular audio-visual media related to literature that has become increasingly important in the field of literary communication is film adaptation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to show the potential of film adaptation according to the requirements of literature research. To achieve this purpose, the study is conducted at Sidi Bel Abbes University, Algeria, involving master two EFL literature students and teachers, relying on two research tools; students' questionnaires and teachers' interviews. The research results show that film adaptations are very useful for teaching literature. The results also indicate that adaptation can improve students' understanding of a literary text and develop their reading analytical and critical skills. The study suggested that using more screen adaptations in classes facilitates understanding a literary text and makes the students overcome obstacles that hinder them from reading.

English as a medium of instruction in the Algerian higher education: Issues and new avenues
Authors: Senouci Mayada , Gacem Mama 
Published: August 2024

It is widely approved that whatever may be the drive for acquiring or learning a new language, it remains an asset. The instruction of a foreign language is resourceful for any nation as it enhances the linguistic capital among its people. In Algeria, following the discourse of languages at universities, a linguistic shift has been introduced from French as a Medium of Instruction to English as a Medium of Instruction. Nevertheless, this language reform is not free from the impact of some factors such as: political and social since language planning cannot be detached from its social and historical context. Using a mixed-method approach, this research paper attempts to examine teachers’ perceptions and expectations about the effectiveness of the integration of English. Sixty students from various faculties and levels responded to a questionnaire by the researchers. The results show that, despite their enthusiastic and supportive views toward the new language project, the respondents affirm that Saida and the Algerian university as a whole are not prepared for this sudden shift. Hence, a myriad of recommendations arises for both teachers and policy-makers in enhancing the acquisition planning for the successful implementation of EMI in higher education.

At the Fish Auction Place (TPI) of Sadeng Beach, Gunung Kidul, fish are manually transferred using wooden bearers and pieces of plastic drums used as fish containers. The weight of the fish moved ranged from 90 - 110 kg for each transfer. The transfer of fish carried out on the shoulders of two workers who have different heights and ages. The worker's posture is characterized by flexion, inclination, and torsion. The Nordic Body Map (NBM) survey revealed reports of stiffness and pain in the shoulders, lower back, and knees. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential risk of injury in the process of transferring fish. The evaluation uses the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) technique. The findings indicated that both workers activities fell into the high-risk category, with the REBA score of 14.00, with a very high risk category.
More Than Just Surviving: Rebellion Against Patriarchy in the English Translation of Han Kang’s The Vegetarian
Authors: Tabor Dominika 
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the English translation of the Korean novel The Vegetarian (2015) by Han Kang in light of the impact of a patriarchal society on a woman's life. In the article, I analyze the English version as a standalone novel rather than a translation from Korean due to various instances of mistranslations and omissions. The narrative tells the story of Yeong-hye, a Korean woman who one day becomes an eponymous vegetarian and stops eating meat. The more committed Yeong-hye is to her dietary choice, the more aggressive her family becomes, perceiving her decision as absurd and foolish. The novel's central theme, unlike the novel's title may suggest, is not vegetarianism but rebellion and the silent suffering of a woman trapped in a patriarchal world that does not understand her. The study incorporates Gilbert and Gubar's concept of the “angel in the house” and Timothy Morton's distinction between Life and "life." Lastly, the research discusses the role of Yeong-hye and the author of the novel, Han Kang, concerning Gilbert and Gubar's notion of “anxiety of authorship”. I argue that Yeong-hye's transformation, resulting in her institutionalization in a mental hospital.

Abstract

Due to the one-time forming of the landslide dam, all deformation after its formation can be attributed to creep. Since the material of the landslide dam has not been manually sorted, there is a large spatial variability. The empirical creep model widely used in artificial rockfill dams, which has problems such as complex formulas, too many parameters and no clear physical meaning, it is difficult to be directly applied to the long-term deformation calculation of the landslide dam. Through the analysis of the relationship between strain energy and stress state in the creep process, combined with the exponential function relationship between strain energy and time and the creep stress dilatancy relationship, a new creep model of coarse-grained soil is proposed. The proposed creep model can comprehensively consider the strain and stress quantities during creeping, and has the advantages of fewer model parameters and clear physical meaning of parameters and wide applicability. The proposed creep model is based on the initial strain method for creep numerical calculation, and the long-term deformation calculation of the spatial variability distribution of creep pa-rameters was carried out for the Hongshiyan landslide dam. The calculation results show that the deformation calculation results considering the spatial variability of creep parameters are more consistent with the monitoring results.

Abstract

Increased observations of shallow slow earthquakes have highlighted structural irregularities that explain the generation mechanisms of slow earthquakes. However, due to considerable uncertainties in the source locations of slow earthquakes, it is unclear what controls the spatial extent of slow earthquakes and what hinders slip propagation on the megathrust. We utilize the precise locations of tectonic tremors, bathymetry data, and seismic reflection images acquired from the Kumano-nada in the Nankai Trough subduction zone to investigate structural factors that determine the spatial extent of tectonic tremors. Results suggest that an abrupt change in the dip angle of the megathrust, located at the point where the frontal thrust branches from the décollement, behaves as a geometrical barrier to along-dip slip propagation. An underplated structure likely generates a pore fluid pressure contrast near this branching point, further strengthening this barrier. In addition, we find that a similar geometrical barrier created by deep-rooted strike-slip faults may affect along-strike slip propagation. Furthermore, the absence of slow earthquakes in the eastern part of the study area is attributed to a stress shadow on the rear side of the subducting Paleo–Zenith ridge.

Abstract

E-cigarettes have emerged as an exposomal factor of great concern to human health. We aimed to test the hypothesis that e-cigarette aerosol is metabolized in the oral cavity by the indigenous microbiome, leading to structural and functional alterations in oral biofilms. We combined untargeted metabolomic analysis of in vitro commensal-rich and pathogen-rich microcosm communities with metatranscriptomics, and fluorescent microscopy, and verified the results in human samples. Spectral deconvolution of 4,215 peaks identified 969 exposomal and endogenous metabolites that mapped to 23 metabolic pathways. Aerosol characteristics and biofilm composition affected metabolite profiles. Metabolites generated by commensal-rich biofilms contained antimitic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compounds, while pathogen-rich biofilms metabolized nicotine-containing aerosol using the pyridine and pyrrolidine pathways. Both communities generated endogenous metabolites that mapped to quorum sensing functions. Several of these metabolites were verified in the saliva of current, never, and former smokers who vape. Metatranscriptomics revealed upregulation of xenobiotic degradation, capsule, peptidoglycan, and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis in commensal-rich communities, while genes encoding organic carbon-compound metabolism, antimicrobial resistance and secretion systems were over-expressed in pathogen-rich biofilms. Topographical analysis revealed an architecture characterized by low surface-area to biovolume ratio, high biomass, and diffusion distance only in commensal-rich biofilms. In conclusion, our data suggest that bacterial metabolism of e-cigarette aerosol triggers a quorum-sensing-regulated stress response which mediates the formation of dense, exopolysaccharide-rich biofilms in health-compatible communities and antibiotic resistance and virulence amplification in disease-associated communities. These findings explain the higher incidence of dental caries, gingival inflammation, and antimicrobial resistance observed in vapers.

Abstract

Modeling backward-looking volatility is of utmost significance to hedgeand price an option. Previous research has compared implied volatility’sability to forecast future movements to historical volatility.In this work, the contribution to the literature is mainly focusingon Long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks predictabilityfor backward-looking volatility forecasting of the Indian S&PCNX Nifty. Using daily SPX options data spanned over the periodfrom 2/5/2001 to 26/2/2020, we find that LSTM fits the trainingdata exceptionally well, with a coefficient value of 0.92 in a singleregression evaluation model and coefficient value more than 0.9 inall multiple regression models. From the empirical analysis, we findthat LSTM outperforms three other state-of-the-art volatility forecastingmodels in predicting the volatility in the out-of-sample dataset

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a chronic disease that pretends to occur in elderly men. Inflammatory and metabolic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis and progression of BPH. The extent to which effects of 91 inflammation-related proteins on BPH are mediated by 1400 plasma metabolites is unclear. In our study we examined the effects of these traits using genetic evidence. We used two-sample Mendelian randomization ( two-sample MR) and Multivariable MR (MVMR) to determine:there is a genetic causal relationship between Interleukin-2 levels (IL-2)and BPH,N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels play a mediation role:higher IL-2 was associated with higher risk of BPH(β = 0.071, OR:1.074,95%CI[1.002–1.152],p = 0.045 and lower levels of N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels (β1=-0.127 p = 0.02).The N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels (β2=-0.039,p = 0.008) was negatively genetic associated with the risk of BPH.The mediation effect was 0.005,95% confidence interval(CI) [0.0004,0.012],odds-ratio (OR) :1.005,95%CI[1.000,1.012].Then,we analyzed the phenotypic co-localization of the two pairs : IL-2—BPH and N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels—BPH, which showed that IL-2 and BPH co-locate the SNP of rs145516501 on the NO. 13 chromosome. N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels, and BPH are co-located to the SNP of rs4917820 on the NO. 10 chromosome.The mediation proportion is 7.04%.The study suggested that N6,N6-dimethyllysine levels appear to mediate the causal effect of IL-2 on BPH.
