Robotic Pauli repair of parastomal hernia
Authors: lambrecht jan roland 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Robotic retro-muscular mesh repair of parastomal hernia (PH) is possible with transversus abdominis release. The aim of this study is to report mid-term results with this method.
Methods
Patients who underwent surgery for PH were enrolled in a prospective study. Patients with concomitant midline hernia also underwent Rives repair. Polypropylene meshes with an absorbable buffer mesh were used in the retro-muscular pocket – except PTFE was chosen for inflammatory bowel disease patients.
Results
Of the 53 included ostomy patients, 43 had colostomies, 8 had ileostomies, and 2 had urostomies, all of which were of the end type. Forty percent had a concomitant hernia, and 26% had recurrent PH. The mean operating time without accessory repair was 156 minutes (SD 37), and that with accessory repairs was 220 minutes (SD 62). Postoperative complications ensued in 12 patients (23%). One bowel lesion and one vascular injury to the stoma occurred, prompting intraoperative revision of the stoma without postoperative morbidity. One patient had late stoma necrosis and was relocated after 3 weeks. One patient had a mesh infection, 3 patients suffered temporary ileus, one patient experienced hypovolemic renal failure, and one of two patients experienced a flare-up of their IBD. One parastomal abscess was removed with a percutaneous drain. The median postoperative stay was 3 days (1–21; mean 3.7 days), and the readmission rate was 7.5%. The recurrence rate at mean and median 24 months follow up is 3.8%, both in ileostomy patients.
Conclusions
Robotic Pauli repair has shown promising results. However, repair fails of PH at small bowel ostomies with short mesentery. ePauli/TAR is now the standard operation for all eligible patients at our site.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

A novel method called the fuzzy bounded separation method, based on the maximum modulus zero suffix method, and is suggested to address fully fuzzy interval integer transportation problems. The provided problem is divided into fuzzy upper bounded interval transportation problem (FUBITP) and fuzzy lower bounded interval transportation problem (FLBITP), with the goal of finding the optimal solution using the maximum modulus zero suffix strategy. The suggested tactic works in a circumstance that is fairly similar to that without utilizing any ranking methods. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the solution procedure, and the results are contrasted with those obtained using the current techniques. Various types of logistic problems are handled with fully fuzzy integer interval concerns, and decision-makers may find the fuzzy bounded separation method to be quite helpful. This procedure is methodical, easy to utilize, and put into practice.

Investigating Hallucination Tendencies of Large Language Models in Japanese and English
Authors: Tsuruta Hiromi , Sakaguchi Rio 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

The increasing reliance on artificial intelligence for natural language processing has brought to light the issue of hallucinations in language models, where models generate content that appears plausible but is factually incorrect. Exploring the comparative hallucination tendencies in Japanese and English reveals significant differences, highlighting the importance of understanding language-specific challenges in model performance. A rigorous methodology was employed to quantify the frequency and severity of hallucinations, with comprehensive data collection from diverse sources in both languages. Quantitative analysis indicated a higher propensity for hallucinations in Japanese responses, attributed to the complex syntactical and contextual structures of the language. Qualitative examples provided concrete illustrations of the errors encountered, demonstrating the impact of linguistic and cultural factors. The findings emphasize the necessity for more linguistically diverse and contextually rich training datasets, along with advanced fact-checking mechanisms, to improve the reliability of language models. The study's implications extend to the development of tailored strategies for enhancing model accuracy across different languages, contributing to the broader goal of creating more robust and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems for global applications.

Authors: De Araújo Ginaldo Cardoso 
Published: June 2024

Este artigo é um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado e toma como objeto de estudo a inserção de professores na carreira docente. Objetiva analisar como os professores iniciantes e as políticas públicas educacionais dos últimos anos, no Brasil, enunciam a inserção profissional na docência. Para tanto, o percurso metodológico da pesquisa foi realizado em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu na análise de documentos oficiais que regulamentam as políticas públicas destinadas ao desenvolvimento profissional de professores, e a segunda etapa buscou reunir, por meio da realização de grupos de discussão, um conjunto de falas de professores iniciantes que atuam nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, em escolas públicas do município de Caetité, no Estado da Bahia. Com base na análise do discurso de inspiração foucaultiana, a materialidade empírica da pesquisa evidenciou que a inserção na profissão docente é enunciada pelos professores iniciantes e pelos documentos oficiais investigados como um período de aprendizado da docência, no contexto da prática. Posicionados como profissionais-aprendizes, os iniciantes são conduzidos para aprenderem a lidar com o currículo da escola e o que ele estabelece sobre a gestão do planejamento, da disciplina, da metodologia de ensino, da avaliação, do material didático, do modo de relacionar com os estudantes, com a família e a com comunidade, constituindo, assim, uma prática docente em aderência às demandas da sociedade contemporânea.

Published: June 2024

Octopamine is a biogenic amine specific for invertebrates distributed in all groups from Cnidaria to Echinodermata. Our study is aimed to investigate the octopamine-positive elements in the nervous system of the spionid worm Pygospio elegans. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect octopamine-positive elements in the central and peripheral nervous systems. While the central nervous system exhibited weak staining, the peripheral nervous system showed specifically octopamine-like elements in the palps, peristomium, and body segments. The detected octopamine-like elements were compared with other neurotransmitters in the P. elegans nervous system. Our results contribute to the data on annelid octopaminergic nervous system structure.

Published: June 2024

El conteo de las víctimas dentro del conflicto armado en Colombia demostró la colosal empresa que significaba reparar a todas las víctimas del conflicto. En medio de esta dinámica, los pueblos y comunidades indígenas han estado expuestas a eventos que los han convertido en víctimas tanto de forma individual como colectiva y, por tal motivo, son susceptibles de ser reparados. Dentro de este contexto, con la Ley 1448 de 2011, el Decreto-Ley 4633 de 2011 y los instrumentos jurídicos concordantes generados en los acuerdos de paz, se han propiciado acciones relevantes de reparación diferencial, y en particular en materia de restitución de tierras, cuya genealogía siempre se relaciona con estos hechos victimizantes: desplazamiento forzado, confinamiento, despojo y abandono de tierras. Este artículo pretende monitorear el estado de los procesos de restitución de tierras, su trayectoria y principales avances en materia administrativa, judicial y posfallo; y realizar una síntesis de las sentencias de los jueces de restitución de tierras durante el periodo 2011-2020. La metodología utilizada corresponde a un estudio cualitativo de corte documental que utiliza como unidades de análisis cifras y datos de fuentes oficiales, así como pronunciamientos judiciales, que permiten determinar el estado de los procesos de restitución de tierras y su evolución jurisprudencial en el periodo mencionado. Como resultado de la investigación se identifican mediante cifras la magnitud de los hechos victimizantes y sus víctimas; de otra parte, se presentan los datos correspondientes al estado de los procesos de restitución de tierras a nivel administrativo y judicial. Finalmente, se sintetizan las decisiones judiciales de los jueces de tierras desde 2011 a 2020, mostrando sus principales fundamentos jurídicos e interpretativos, que identifican patrones de decisión judicial dentro de la restitución de tierras para pueblos y comunidades indígenas en Colombia; sin olvidar las dificultades que se interponen para el pleno restablecimiento de sus derechos, a saber: falta de coordinación institucional, intereses mineros y energéticos, segundos ocupantes, amenazas a la seguridad y reaparición de nueva situaciones de violencia y apropiación de recursos.
Pemodelan Rute Optimal Berbasis SIG Terhadap Sistem Pengangkutan Sampah Kota Bandung dalam Mengantisipasi Pemanfaatan Rencana TPPAS Legok Nangka
Authors: Haratua Satriandi , Kameswara Byna 
Published: June 2024

Pengoperasian TPPAS Legok Nangka sebagai pengganti TPA Sarimukti mempengaruhi sistem pengangkutan sampah Kota Bandung yang wajib menggunakan SPA sebagai tempat transit bagi truk pengangkut sampah sebelum dilanjutkan ke TPA tujuan. Terdapat 2 lokasi SPA yang beroperasi yaitu SPA Gedebage dan SPA Leuwigajah. Pemodelan rute dilakukan berdasarkan 3 lokasi tujuan dari setiap model, yang diproses menggunakan analisis spasial berbasis jaringan menggunakan Network Analyst (NA). Penggunaan NA menghasilkan rute optimal yang memiliki jarak tempuh pendek serta waktu tempuh optimal pada masing-masing pemodelan rute. Pemodelan Rute 1 menunjukkan bahwa dari 82 rute yang dimodelkan terdapat beberapa rute yang belum optimal, sehingga rute tersebut diberikan alternatif berupa pemindahan TPS tujuan ke rute lain yang searah dan dengan jarak antar TPS tujuan 5 km. Hasil pemodelan ulang terhadap rute yang belum optimal pada Pemodelan 1 menghasilkan rute yang memiliki jarak dan waktu tempuh lebih singkat dibandingkan dengan model rute awal. Hasil rute pemodelan 2 dan 3 menunjukkan bahwa Model Rute 2-1 dan Model Rute 3-2 merupakan rute yang optimal untuk menuju ke masing-masing TPA tujuan. Penunjukan TPPAS Legok Nangka sebagai TPA tujuan dinilai lebih baik bagi Kota Bandung karena memiliki jarak dan waktu tempuh yang lebih singkat dibandingkan TPA Sarimukti.

‘My Most Tricky Pickle!’ Balancing Reading Instruction in Play-Based Kindergarten: Educator Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Pedagogical Content Knowledge Needs
Authors: Messenger Yvonne , Gallagher Tiffany L. 
Published: June 2024

Many kindergarten educators grapple with how best to teach reading in play-based kindergarten classrooms. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to ascertain the instructional strengths and needs of kindergarten educators as they teach reading in play-based programs. Fifteen kindergarten teachers participated in an online questionnaire and focus group conversations that explored their concepts of self-efficacy and professional content knowledge to gain an understanding of the tensions these educators expressed, and to compare and confirm these with existing literature. Educators felt quite confident that they were effectively weaving foundational reading skills with learning opportunities into authentic experiences throughout the day. They indicated that balancing competing priorities within their programs was a challenge, and that supporting multilinguals and deepening their understanding of how to effectively build oral language and phonological awareness in their students were areas where they wanted to build their professional content knowledge.
Pētījums par Inflantijas muižnieku Juzefu Ježiju Hilzenu un Inflantijas vēstures pētniecības perspektīvas

Published: June 2024

The book review evaluates the biography of the Inflantian (Polish Livonian) nobleman (szlachcic), prominent politician of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century, Józef Jerzy Hylzen, written by Łukasz Wróbel, published in 2022. This work is an important contribution to the history of both Poland and Latvia, since it is the first comprehensive research dedicated to a representative of a noble family closely connected with Latvia. The structure of the book is based on the five criteria proving one’s belonging to the informal nobility elite, magnates: the family's ancient origins, education, including European travel (the so-called Le Grand Tour), political activities, property, and lifestyle. This monograph outlines the perspectives for further studies: border in the consciousness of the nobles of Inflantia in the context of politics, religion, and intellectual movements. Wróbel’s work is unique, factually rich, conceptually interesting, and easily readable. It also presents a very useful source of information for any future researchers of Inflanty.
Kristīne Beķere. Latvijas labā: Politiskā darbība trimdā 20. gadsimta 40.–80. gados. Rīga: LU Akadēmiskais apgāds, 2022

The book Latvijas labā: Politiskā darbība trimdā 20. gadsimta 40.–80. gados (For the Good of Latvia: Political Activities of Latvian Exiles from the 1940s through the 1980s), written by the chief editor of The Journal of the University of Latvia. History (Latvijas Universitātes Žurnāls. Vēsture), historian Kristīne Beķere focuses on the political actions of Latvian exiles in the Western world during the postwar, and especially, Cold War era. The purpose of the study is to provide an overview of the activities of the Latvian exiles related to the protest movement against the occupation and annexation of Latvia by the USSR. The book defines many periods of exiles’ activities. K. Beķere has identified the most important activities for each stage of history and describes them in a chronological order. Thus, for example, the author describes the period of the emergence of exile after the Second World War, the strengthening of exile organisations, and the development of political activities during the escalation period of the Cold War in the 1950s and 1960s, and the period since the 1970s (Cold War relaxation or detente phase), which created new more active forms of exile’s international protest against the occupation of the Baltic. K. Beķere’s book marks the increasing attention in historiography towards the history of the Latvian exiles. In recent years, for example, a voluminous book by the US–Latvian historian Andrejs Plakans has been published. The book For the Good of Latvia is one of the important contributions to systematise both – the information about the political history of the Latvian exile community and its important information work in the world mostly during the Cold War era.
Influence of Tire-Enveloping Model Complexity on High-Frequency Simulations
Authors: Radhakrishnan Girish , Erősdi Zakariás , Rouelle Claude 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Race tires are subject to high speeds and high vertical loads during cornering. They are also subject to extreme stress when they are driven over high-frequency and low-amplitude curbs, often leading to tire failures.
Research and development by D. C. Davis and P. W. A. Zegelaar has shown that when the tire moves over high-frequency, low-amplitude, and short-wavelength obstacles, it exhibits obstacle-enveloping properties. Tire response over such obstacles includes vertical force variation, longitudinal force variation, and rotational speed variation. Additionally, such road inputs excite tire belt dynamics that include high-frequency modes. Therefore, a single-contact-point model is no longer sufficient to predict tire response over such obstacles.
To better capture the tire obstacle-enveloping behavior, advanced contact patch models such as the tandem-cam model by P. W. A. Zegelaar, the radial–interradial spring model by J. M. Badalmenti and G. R. Davis Jr., and the flexible ring model by S. Gong have been developed. To capture high-frequency tire belt dynamics, the rigid-ring model has been developed by P. W. A. Zegelaar. Previous work combines the rigid-ring model with the tandem-cam model to capture obstacle-enveloping behavior and tire belt dynamics up to 60–100 Hz.
This paper presents a comparative study of different tire–road contact models to simulate high-frequency curbs typically found at racetracks. The curb profile of the Singes corner at the Paul Ricard racetrack is chosen for simulations as it is known to be extremely demanding on the tires, often causing failures. An advanced four-wheel model is used to simulate a race car at high speeds. Metrics to quantify the tire response over these high-frequency curbs are created and an investigation is conducted to quantify the influence of tire model complexity on the metrics.
The Creative of Isan Music in Soundscape, Battle of Naga
Authors: Krajangsree Artit , Pikulsri Chalernsak 
Published: June 2024

Objectives: This article is part of the research with the objective of creating Isan music in the soundscape, "Battle of Naga."

Methods: The researcher used a creative process in music creation, consisting of two parts. The first part is song design, where the researcher took five parts from the story of Sinxay on the Battle of Naga to use as the song structure. Isan melody was used to reinterpret and give new meaning. The melodies included Lai Thang San, Lai Thang Yao, Lai Ka Ten Gon, Lai An Nangseu, Phaya poem reading, and Sinxay melody. The second part consisted of finding the soundscape from Isan musical instruments through the process of playing and adjusting the sounds using technology. This involved capturing sounds of Naga, water, wind, atmosphere, and various situational sounds from the story, and projecting the sounds of Isan musical instruments into water, mixing them with actual instrument sounds.

Results: The sounds included the sound of Naga, water, wind, atmosphere, the sounds of situations happening in the story, and the sound projection of Isan musical instruments into the water mixed with the actual sounds of the instruments. At the same time, the sound was mixed with the blowing of wind into the microphone to create the sound of the Garuda’s wings. Additionally, the researcher used the microphone to rub against a fishtank to create sound effects for accompanying the music, such as in the battle scene.

Conclusion: The creative process used in this research successfully blended traditional Isan melodies with innovative soundscapes, creating a unique auditory experience for the "Battle of Naga." This approach not only preserved the cultural essence of Isan music but also introduced new dimensions through the use of technology, enhancing the storytelling and emotional impact of the music.
Comparison of Dialysis Catheter Insertion and Complications Under Ultrasound Guidance with or without Fluoroscopic Assistance: A Randomized Study
Authors: Konnepati Sushma , Sethi Jasmine , Lal Anupam , Ramachandran Raja , Rathi Manish 
Published: June 2024

Background:
Fluoroscopy is considered to be the gold standard and an essential requirement for catheter insertion. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the outcomes in ultrasound (USG)-guided insertion with and without fluoroscopy. We compared the complications of USG-guided tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) insertion with and without fluoroscopy assistance.

Materials and Methods:
This was a single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) done in a tertiary hospital in North India. After screening 153 patients, 149 were enrolled: 87 were randomized into USG-guided insertion without fluoroscopy (group A) and 62 were randomized into USG-guided insertion with fluoroscopy (group B). All insertions were done in a dedicated procedure room by trained nephrologists. Outcomes were analyzed at baseline and at 1-month follow-up. Mechanical complications as well as infective and thrombotic complications were compared between both the groups.

Results:
TDC insertion was successful (100%) in all the study participants (N = 149). One hundred twenty-nine catheters (86.5%) were inserted in the first attempt, 19 (12.5%) in the second attempt, and one catheter insertion required three attempts for insertion. The mean age of study participants was 43 years (±16.5), and males constituted 63% of the study cohort. Baseline laboratory characteristics of the two groups were comparable. The mean time of catheter insertion was 41.26 min (standard deviation [SD] 11.8) in group A and 47.74 min (SD 17.2) in group B (P = 0.007). The mean score of ease of catheter insertion, exit site bleed, infective and mechanical complications were not different between the two groups.

Conclusion:
Our study concluded that fluoroscopy has no additional advantage in reducing mechanical, infective, or thrombotic complications. In experienced hands, USG-guided TDC insertion without fluoroscopy assistance is as good as the insertion done with fluoroscopy assistance, with a shorter procedure time.
