Authors: Foo Valencia Hui Xian , Liu Yu-Chi , Ang Marcus , Htoon Hla Myint , Ting Darren Shu Jeng , Mehta Jodhbir S. 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
To compare differences in corneal densitometry (CD) and higher order aberrations (HOAs) in eyes that underwent small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser–assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for the treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism at postoperative months 3, 6, and 12, and to evaluate their changes in a separate cohort of eyes after SMILE enhancement.

Methods:
In this prospective, randomized, paired-eye clinical trial, consecutive eligible participants were randomized to undergo SMILE or FS-LASIK in either eye. Main outcome measures were CD and HOAs preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. A separate cohort of consecutive patients who had SMILE and underwent enhancement were also included for comparison.

Results:
For CD, no significant differences were found between SMILE and FS-LASIK up to month 12. For HOA measured by wavefront aberrometry, both SMILE and FS-LASIK had an increase in total root mean square (RMS) HOAs, spherical aberration (SA), and vertical coma up to month 12. SMILE had an additional increase in vertical quatrefoil, and FS-LASIK had an increase in horizontal coma at month 12. FS-LASIK had higher SA than SMILE, whereas SMILE had higher vertical quatrefoil than FS-LASIK at month 12. Central and posterior zone CD had significantly decreased after SMILE enhancement compared to after primary SMILE up to 2 years after enhancement. RMS HOAs, lower order aberrations, and SA were all increased after SMILE enhancement compared to after primary SMILE.

Conclusions:
SMILE induced lower SA but higher vertical quatrefoil than FS-LASIK at 1 year. Both SMILE and FS-LASIK had similar increases in RMS HOAs and vertical coma up to 1 year. There were no differences in CD between both groups. SMILE enhancement additionally had decreased central and posterior CD but greater RMS HOAs and SA compared to primary SMILE.

Salzmann's Nodular Degeneration in Refractive Surgery: The Earlier Hit Hypothesis of EBM Injury-Related Fibrosis of the Subepithelial Space and Deeper Corneal Extension
Authors: Wilson Steven E. , Dupps William J. 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
To review the atypical development of Salzmann's nodular degeneration (SND) after two cases of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and one case of photorefractive keratomileusis (PRK), and to highlight the pathophysiology of SND and its treatment.

Methods:
Three cases of SND (two following LASIK performed with microkeratomes and one following PRK) were reviewed and Pubmed.gov and internet searches were performed.

Results:
SND is myofibroblast-generated fibrosis in the subepithelial space between the epithelium and Bowman's layer that develops years or decades after traumatic, surgical, infectious, or inflammatory injuries to the cornea in which the epithelial basement membrane is damaged in one or more locations and does not fully regenerate. It is hypothesized based on these cases, and the previous immunohistochemistry of other investigators, that myofibroblast precursors, such as fibrocytes or corneal fibroblasts, that enter the subepithelial space are driven to develop into myofibroblasts, which slowly proliferate and extend the fibrosis, by transforming growth factor-beta from epithelium and tears that passes through the defective epithelial basement membrane. These myofibroblasts and the disordered collagens, and other extracellular matrix components they produce, make up the subepithelial opacity characteristic of SND. Nodules are larger accumulations of myofibroblasts and disordered extracellular matrix. If the injury is associated with damage to the underlying Bowman's layer and stroma, as in LASIK flap generation, then the myofibroblasts and fibrosis can extend into Bowman's layer and the underlying anterior stroma.

Conclusions:
SND fibrosis often extends into Bowman's layer and the anterior stroma if there are associated Bowman's defects, such as incisions or lacerations. In the latter cases, SND frequently cannot be removed by simple scrape and peel, as typically performed for most common SND cases, but can be trimmed to remove the offending tissue. This condition is more accurately termed Salzmann's subepithelial fibrosis.

AN ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST CRITICISM AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN IN THE MULTI-LEVEL AND TRADITIONAL SOCIETY IN THE SELECTED WORK A ROSE FOR EMILY BY WILLIAM FAULKNER
Authors: Giang Nguyen Truc , Dan Thai Cong 
Published: May 2024

This paper delves into the realm of feminist criticism and explores the portrayal of women in traditional society through a close examination of William Faulkner's renowned short story, "A Rose for Emily." The study aims to shed light on the patriarchal constructs that shaped women's roles and identities during the time the story was set. Drawing upon feminist literary theory, the research analyzes the ways in which Faulkner depicts the female character in "A Rose for Emily." Emily's life becomes a symbol of the oppression and control exerted on women in the patriarchal society depicted in the story. Using textual evidence and critical analysis, the paper explores the themes of oppression, control, and the limited agency granted to women in the traditional Southern society. Furthermore, the research examines the impact of societal norms on the character's choices, relationships, and sense of self. Through a comprehensive examination of the selected work, this research aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on feminist criticism and the portrayal of women in traditional societies. By delving into the complexities of gender dynamics and societal expectations, it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by women in patriarchal societies and the ways in which literature reflects and perpetuates these structures.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0787/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Tulisan ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi muatan hadits yang membicarakan tentang aspek etika dan moral pemasaran syariah. Sebagai sebuah kegiatan ekonomi, pemasaran syariah memiliki karakteristik berbeda dengan pemasaran konvensional. Hal ini tidak terlepas dari sifat yang melekat pada pemasaran syariah berupa rabbaniyyah, etis, realitas, dan humanistis. Tulisan ini merupakan library research dimana sumber data diambilkan dari buku, kitab hadits, dan lainnya. Seluruh data dideskripsikan dan dianalisis menjadi sebuah pembahasan yang sistematis. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa Rasulullah Saw mengajarkan kegiatan pemasaran syariah yang dilakukan -mulai dari proses penciptaan/produksi, penawaran, distribusi, maupun proses perubahan nilai (value) tidak boleh mengandung hal-hal yang bertentangan dengan etika dan prinsip-prinsip muamalah yang Islami. Hal-hal yang harus melandasi pemasaran syariah adalah 1) Menjadi kegiatan ekonomi yang berniali ibadah kepada Allah Swt; 2) Mempromosikan suatu produk sesuai fakta; 3) Bersaing secara sehat dengan kompetitor; 4) Tidak menggunakan cara yang menipu atau manipulasi dalam menawarkan produk, seperti display produk yang tidak sesuai dengan faktual produk, mengurangi timbangan, dan sumpah palsu atau bombastis. Begitu pula, seorang syariah marketer mesti memiliki kepribadian religius, berperilaku baik dan simpatik, bersikap adil dalam bisnis; memiliki kerendahan hati dalam melayani konsumen, selalu menepati janji dalam transaksi, berprilaku jujur dan amanah, tidak mudah berburuk sangka dan menjelekkan konsumen maupun mitra bisnis, dan tidak melakukan suap menyuap. Diharapkan semua hal ini menjadikan pemasaran syariah menjadi kegiatan yang memberikan keberkahan rezeki, memberikan kepuasan pada konsumen, terciptanya mekanisme pasar yang sehat, terwujudnya keadilan ekonomi, dan terpenuhinya kebutuhan pasar secara baik.
