Major Pelvic Ortho-oncological Surgeries
Authors: Singh Shiksha , Saksena Shalini 
Published: June 2024

Background and Aims:
Anaesthesia for pelvic tumour surgeries is challenging because of major blood loss, extensive tissue damage, hypothermia due to the longer duration of surgery, unusual and frequent change in positions, ongoing postoperative blood loss and post-operative pain management. This retrospective study aimed to assess the perioperative anaesthetic management for patients undergoing major pelvic tumour surgeries in our institute.

Methods:
We collected data from 20 patients from the patient files, anaesthesia records and electronic medical records about demographics, type and duration of surgery, pre-operative morbidities, preoperative chemotherapy/radiotherapy, intraoperative anaesthesia management with respect to fluids, blood loss, blood products transfused and postoperative pain management and complications. Data were summarised using percentages for categorical data and medians for continuous data.

Results:
Sixteen patients were given epidural and general anaesthesia, while four were given only general anaesthesia. The median duration of surgery was 7 h (interquartile range [IQR] 5–10 h). Multiple surgeons were involved in four cases. The median blood loss was 1500 ml (IQR 550–2750 mL); nine patients needed massive blood transfusions. Navigation-guided surgical cuts were made in eight patients. Three required postoperative mechanical ventilation. The pain was managed by epidural infusions and intravenous patient-controlled fentanyl infusions. The postoperative complication was seen in two patients in the form of wound infection and a post-operative bleed.

Conclusion:
The major pelvic orthopaedic oncological surgeries require meticulous attention to patient-centric perioperative care. A dedicated team approach with a definitive surgical plan, anticipating complications and their timely intervention, pain management and postoperative rehabilitation can lead to improved outcomes.

Authors: Ponnusamy Raja Rajeswari , Cheak Lim Chun , Ling Elaine Chan Wan , Chin Lim Sern 
Published: June 2024

Paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, leading to organ damage. Advances in medical technology and the integration of artificial intelligence have significantly reduced the mortality rate of pSLE patients and improved their quality of life. Various studies have explored the link between environmental pollution and pSLE, utilizing machine learning to identify common gene expressions associated with the disease. However, the application of machine learning, particularly neural networks, to predict the status of pSLE patients over different timeframes remains underexplored. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of support vector machines (SVMs) and neural networks in predicting the status of pSLE patients. Results show that without SMOTE balancing, both SVMs and neural networks achieved an accuracy of 68.09%, while neural networks achieved the highest accuracy of 77.78% after SMOTE balancing. Healthcare stakeholders can employ these machine learning techniques to provide early insights into patients' future health status based on their current condition, thereby improving patient outcomes.

SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES FOR TEXT IDENTIFICATION: COMPARISON FOR SIMILARITY, IDENTITY ESTABLISHMENT, UNIQUENESS CHECK
Authors: Napreenko Galina V. 
Published: June 2024

The study was carried out within the framework of identification linguistics and translational linguistics. The article describes some methods for determining the degree of similarity of texts: shingle algorithm, Levenshtein distance, systems for detecting plagiarism. The purpose of the work is to test the software capabilities of comparing texts for similarity, establishing their identity, and checking uniqueness. In a broad sense, these tasks fall within the area of text identification. In a qualitative (manual) assessment of the similarity of texts, identifying parameters are selected and selected specifically for the text under study. The use of electronic resources is determined by the desire for objectivity of the methods used to establish the identity of texts and the objectivity of the results obtained. Software products also make it possible to establish another, quantitative, characteristic — the degree of similarity of texts to each other or the degree of originality of the text. The work used services whose tasks include 1) comparing the similarity of two texts; 2) calculation of the Levenshtein distance; 3) detection of borrowing. The research material was an excerpt from an interview with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Reverse machine translation texts served as options for comparison with the source text. Reverse machine translation as a translation product is part of artificial intelligence and a model of the process of understanding and interpreting natural language. The results of using the proposed services made it possible to arrange five reverse machine translation options from the most unique text to the text that is most identical to the invariant. The study showed that the programs generally produce similar results, which can be applicable to solving research and applied problems related to establishing the identity and difference of texts. The prospect of the study is to identify lexical parameters that make it possible to classify reverse machine translation texts as the most or least identical with respect to the invariant.

Published: June 2024

Learning management systems store valuable data in their repositories. Analyzing such data could contribute to identifying non-achievers in eLearning courses. This study presents an integrated framework (encompassing stages from a risk management process) to predict non-achievers in eLearning Business Informatics Lab Courses through a discriminant function analysis of student engagement data. In detail, data regarding with student interaction with the learning activities were elicited from the Moodle LMS log files. The paper also presents a specific eLearning Business Informatics Lab Course, designed upon Business Informatics competencies, tailored to a Business Informatics Curriculum for undergraduate Accounting Students. A discriminant function analysis was used to develop a competent prediction model. Linear discriminant functions were generated for achievers and non-achievers respectively. Students were classified into non-achievers or achievers according to the maximum score of the discriminant functions. The high classification percentage of our model indicates that our framework could be used to identify non-achievers in any eLearning Business Informatics Lab course sharing the same structure. A linear discriminant analysis was also employed to indicate the training potential of our model. The evaluation metrics of our trained model indicate that our model could potentially be used to develop an alert system.

Remaking Humanity
Authors: Beyt Adam 
Published: June 2024

Drawing upon Edward Schillebeeckx’s theology and Judith Butler’s philosophy, Adam Beyt uses the framework of nonviolent hope to construct a Catholic political theology responding to dehumanizing violence.Dehumanizing violence names words, institutions, or acts violating the inherent dignity of being made in the image and likeness of God. Theology can participate in dehumanizing violence by claiming an uninterrogated universality that marginalizes bodies due to their perceived differences such as gender, race, sexuality, or ability.
The book’s constructive project integrates Schillebeeckx’s and Butler’s thought with queer theory and phenomenology to model embodiment as an “enfleshing dynamism” between bodies and signification. The text then posits Catholic discipleship as incarnating hope by defending the humanum, the new humanity announced through God’s Reign. Combining reflections from Schillebeeckx and Butler, this hope centers discipleship as nonviolent world building. Concluding with a sustained reflection with the writings of Franz Fanon and Walter Benjamin, the final chapter sketches a Catholic solidaristic response to contemporary struggles against the necropolitics of colonizing and state violence through assemblies of hope.
Romania 1944
Authors: Harward Grant T. 
Published: June 2024

The complex and fascinating story of Romania’s 'turning of arms' against Nazi Germany, and the battle for Romania - an important but overlooked and misunderstood episode of World War II.
The battle for Romania from March to September 1944 is a multifaceted story involving German, Romanian, Soviet, American, and British forces. Romania’s defection from the Axis denied Nazi Germany not just resources (especially oil) but also turned the Romanian Army, formerly its most important support on the Eastern Front, from friend to foe. The fighting witnessed the German Sixth Army being destroyed for a second time (after Stalingrad).
This in-depth work explores the strategic struggle within German-Romanian relations and the tactical development of the Battle of Romania. The detailed 2D maps and 3D diagrams guide you step-by-step through the Axis defence of Romania in March-May during the first Iasi-Chisinau offensive, the Allied campaign in April-August to assist the Soviets, the Axis collapse in August during the second Iasi-Chisinau offensive, the Romanian defeat of the attempted German counter-coup, and the final Soviet occupation of Romania. Period photographs from the Romanian archives and private collections, many never before seen, and stunning battlescene artworks bring to life the soldiers and materiel of the wide range of forces involved in this rarely explored Eastern Front campaign.

Preemie Parents
Authors: McDermott-Perez Lisa 
Published: June 2024

The number of premature births in the United States has risen dramatically in recent years, with premature birth now designated the #1 obstetrics problem in the United States - affecting some 12 percent of all births. In the midst of these births—where a mother's arms and joy are replaced by incubators and cautious hope— are the parents, whose strength and emotional stability may understandably wane in the face of the challenges and fears created with the birth. It is about and for the benefit of these parents that this helpful book was written.
Psychotherapist Lisa McDermott-Perez, joined in this work by several medical experts also offering insights, reveals the world of preemie parents and the emotional stresses they face before and after the birth. From feelings of guilt and anger over real and imagined mistakes, to depression, jealousy and fear, we learn how traumatic this time can be fbr mothers and fathers. This book takes us step-by-step to either recover as Preemie Parents or to help loved ones who are facing the situation. Appendices list resources and support networks, definitions of terms and equipment commonly used in neonatal medicine, and common medications and their potential side effects.
Preparing for the Worst
Authors: Jones James Schaefer 
Published: June 2024

Preparing for the Worstdetails the best practices in antiterrorism tactics and preparing for disaster. This book is for typical American families, business travelers, corporate executive management personnel, emergency first responders, school administrators, and local government officials responsible for public safety and emergency management.
Americans are regularly bombarded with reports of disaster and tragedy in the daily news. Catastrophes like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, violent crimes, and terrorism are so common and routine that many of us have become numb to the stories. Without a heightened awareness, focused concern, and effective planning, we have lost the edge that can save lives. Do you know what you should do to protect your family during a disaster? Does your neighbor have the knowledge required to survive a catastrophic event? Part of the solution is rooted in common sense, but much more depends upon effectively applying learned survival skills. Americans need a helpful reference tool—a Swiss army knife for handling today's threats. This book is that tool.
A former U.S. Marine and Desert Storm veteran, Schaefer-Jones has experienced calamity firsthand. He is also a concerned husband and the father of three young children. While considering how he would personally handle a disastrous event close to home, he came to realize that a comprehensive how-to guide was not available—until now.
Privatization in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Hopps June G. , Iatridis Demetrius S. 
Published: June 2024

Central and Eastern European countries are facing the transition from central to market systems with different strategies and capacities. As the task of societal transformation is without precedent in world history, the massive economic restructuring has revealed the need for distributive justice and general well-being. As the editors and contributors to this volume point out, the monolithic preoccupation with economic restructuring in a market economics framework is implemented at the expense of social protection and security.
In contrast to traditional views of privatization as only an economic or managerial phenomenon, this collection approaches privatization as a broader integrated process of societal transformation. Privatization as defined here consists of integrated processes of societal restructuring that affect sociopolitical, economic, and ideological constructs as well as human and physical capital development, transformation of family structures, market stabilization, and organization of social care. Public policymakers as well as scholars and researchers of contemporary Eastern Europe will find this collection of great interest, and an important challenge to the economic models of privatization which undervalue social costs.

Rommel's Lieutenants
Authors: Mitcham   Jr. Samuel W. 
Published: June 2024

Perhaps the most famous soldier to fight in World War II was Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, who achieved immortality as the Desert Fox. He is also one of the most admired. Rommel's first field command during the war was the 7th Panzer Division, also known as the Ghost Division, which he led in France in 1940. Rommel had a great deal of help in France—much more than his published papers suggest. His staff officers and company, battalion and regimental commanders were an extremely capable collection of military leaders that included 12 future generals (two of them SS), and two colonels who briefly commanded panzer divisions but never reached general rank. They also included Karl Hanke, a Nazi gauleiter who later succeeded Heinrich Himmler as the last Reichsfuehrer-SS. No historian has ever recognized the talented cast of characters who supported the Desert Fox in 1940. No one has ever attempted to tell their stories. This book will surely remedy that oversight.
During the Desert Fox campaign, the 7th Panzer suffered more casualties than any other division in the German Army, at the same time inflicting a disproportionate number of casualties upon the enemy. It took 97,486 prisoners, captured 458 tanks and armored vehicles, 277 field guns, 64 anti-tank guns and 4,000 to 5,000 trucks, and destroyed dozens of others in each category. It captured or destroyed hundreds of tons of other military equipment, shot down 52 aircraft, destroyed 15 more on the ground, and captured 12 more. It destroyed the French 1st Armored Division and the 4th North African Division, punched through the Maginot Line extension near Sivry, and checked the largest Allied counteroffensive of the campaign at Arras. When France surrendered, the Ghost Division was within 200 miles of the Spanish border. No doubt about it—Rommel had proven himself a great military leader who was capable of greater things. His next command, in fact, would be the Afrika Korps, where the legend of the Desert Fox was born.
