How to Eat Crayfish, Stockholm, 1884
Authors: Sayers William 
Published: April 2024

In earlier notes in these pages the author has considered how literary scenes of food vending and dining could become vehicles for social criticism. In this article, he provides a translation of a scene from August Strindberg's short story ‘Needs must’ (‘Måste’) which was published in 1884 as part of a collection of short stories, Getting Married (Giftas). In the scene a solitary diner, a schoolmaster, orders crayfish, not for the first time.
FrostByte Dataset

Published: April 2024

It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of the “Frost Byte” dataset. The dataset was collected during research on fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) approaches and their transferability to heterogeneous systems of industrial refrigeration systems at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau. The data collection took place between 2018 and 2019 and is intended to supplement the ASHRAE 1043-RP dataset (Comstock & Braun, 1999), which has been the only publicly available data source in this area to date. For comparison purposes, the method of data collection was chosen similarly, whereby this dataset collection was carried out using a ~ 100 kW refrigeration capacity ammonia system with plate heat exchangers. The dataset contains steady-data equally sampled from five classes: 1.	Normal (fault-free operating condition) 2.	Reduced Condenser Water Flow 3.	Reduced Evaporator Water Flow 4.	Non-Condensable Gases 5.	Refrigeration Leak Each class was investigated under changing operational conditions and varying fault severity levels (SL).
THE NEW TOPOGRAPHICS, DARK ECOLOGY, AND THE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE OF NATIONS: CONSIDERING AGENCY IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF EDWARD BURTYNSKY AND MITCH EPSTEIN FROM A POST-ANARCHIST PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Truscello Michael 
Published: April 2024

Edward Burtynsky’s aesthetic and the New Topographic aesthetic from which it derives, I argue, should not be seen as apolitical but rather as traces of an empire in ruins and a sociality to come; that is, by employing a post-anarchist analysis, I demonstrate how Burtynsky’s photographs in his recent collection Oil, and Mitch Epstein’s images from American Power, produce an aesthetic of what Yves Abrioux calls “intensive landscaping,” or “landscaping as style, as the promise of a social spacing yet to come” (264). What Burtynsky and Epstein accomplish in their photographs related to energy in particular is “to invent relations, rather than assert ideological or cultural control” (ibid.); the place of energy extraction and transport becomes not a self-contained striation of ecological degradation, but a “place of passage,” to use Deleuze and Guattari’s terminology, a depiction of wildness and civilization in contact, assembled and reformulating the landscape into something other. The aesthetic under consideration has much in common with Timothy Morton’s “dark ecology” and Stephanie LeManager’s “feeling ecological,” theories that attempt to understand the affective connections between the infrastructure of oil capitalism and ecology (“Petro-Melancholia” 27).

Purpose: to assess hypertension as a risk factor for a poor response to antiangiogenic therapy.Patients and methods. Systemic blood pressure was studied in 84 patients (92 eyes) with age-related macular degeneration who were treated with intravitreal injections of Eilea in a fixed mode.Results. It was found that significantly more often a poor response to treatment in the form of partial non-resposing or progression of the disease, despite treatment, is associated with elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP, p = 0.01). An increase in systolic (SBP) blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension and AMD is accompanied by an increase in eye perfusion pressure (p < 0.01), which apparently worsens the absorption of angiostatics and causes a poor response to treatment. According to the results of the study, the most favorable corridor of SBP values associated with ideal response is in the range of values of 104–140 mm Hg, and DBP is in the range of 68–80 mm Hg st., which should be taken as the recommended parameters of blood pressure in patients with nVMD receiving a course of treatment for Eylea. Intraocular pressure (IOP) has demonstrated itself as a second modifiable independent and independent risk factor for poor response to treatment with nVMD with line 1 anti-VEGF therapy drugs. Intraocular pressure (IOP) has demonstrated itself as a second modifiable independent and independent risk factor for poor response to nVMD treatment with line 1 anti-VEGF therapy drugs. The biomarker associated with the ideal response was — 12.6 mm Hg, and the corridor of recommended values — 11–21 mm Hg. An increase in ophthalmotonus with the output of personalized values beyond this corridor seems to worsen the outcome of treatment.Conclusion. The identification of modifiable risk factors is extremely important in practical ophthalmology, as it opens up the possibility of increasing the patient’s chances of a better treatment outcome. Modifiable risk factors are valuable and powerful tools that replenish our arsenal. Information about them is important not only in the treatment of AMD, but can also be the patient’s motivation for switching to a healthy lifestyle and reducing the risk of developing the disease.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: to identify the most significant factors associated with myopic refraction in medical university students, which can be used for early prediction and prevention of myopia.Materials and methods. The survey data of students of 1–6 courses of Kazan State Medical University and the data on refraction of patients’ eyes obtained from the “Medical record of a patient receiving medical care on an outpatient basis” (registration form No. 025/y) were used. The refraction of the eye in each of the participants was calculated as the average value of the spherical equivalent of the right and left eyes.Results. According to the ophthalmologist’s examination, myopia was detected in 219 (69 %) of the surveyed students. 134 (42 %) students had mild myopia, 66 (21 %) had moderate myopia, 19 (6 %) were highly myopic. Among myopes, 73 % of students wear glasses (160/219), contact lenses — 41 % of respondents (90/219). The median age of onset of spectacle wear was 13 years (Q1–Q3 = 10–26). The median refraction of the right eye (D) was -2.50 D (Q1–Q3 = -1.5…-4.0), the left eye -2.75 D (Q1–Q3 = -1.6…-4.0). The early age of onset of spectacle wear is the factor most significantly associated with myopic refraction (+0.23 D/year, p = 1.30×10-11), and an important prognostic sign of the development of high myopia. Factors associated with stronger myopic refraction are high height and low weight, as well as less physical activity.Conclusion. It is necessary to take into account the anthropometric and behavioral features of the patient when developing an individual plan for the prevention and treatment of myopia, in order to avoid the development of complications leading to vision loss.

Authors: Novikova Yu. P. , Grigoryan E. N. 
Published: April 2024

Purpose. Wistar rats are often used in ophthalmological studies and in testing substances having therapeutic effects. The condition of the eyes of these animals, as well as other mammals, including humans, in the normal state, pathology, and aging, depends on the work of the lacrimal glands. The aim of this study was to develop convenient approaches for determining age-dependent histopathological changes in the exorbital lacrimal glands (ELGs) of aging rats.Material and methods. Isolated ELGs obtained from Wistar rats aged of 8 and 11 months served as a material of the study. Changes in the structure of ELGs were evaluated using methods of computer analysis of morphological patterns and quantitative data processing.Results. The functioning and state of the ELGs are reflected in their dramatic structural changes and progressive inflammation. Our study proposes a simple way to assess the state of ELGs in aging rats using methods of morphology and computer programs. Using the proposed approach, it was shown that in the period from 8 to 11 months of postnatal development, significant age-related changes occur in aging rats. Changes manifest in the progress of parenchymal degeneration and progressive infiltration of the tissue by inflammatory cells.Conclusions. The proposed method of ELG state’s evaluation can be used in ophthalmological studies, and in particular, when studying the development of “dry eye” syndrome and testing the means of its therapy.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: to study the clinical features of patients with penetrating eye injury and foreign body, complicated by endophthalmitis.Methods. 68 patients (68 eyes) with penetrating injury and ocular foreign body were included in the retrospective study, including 91.2 % males and 8.8 % females. The mean age was 50.00 [32.00; 60.00] years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: with endophthalmitis — 24 patients, without inflammation — 44 patients. All patients underwent standard ophthalmologic methods of examination.Results. The age of patients with endophthalmitis was significantly greater compared to patients without inflammation — 51.50 [46.25; 63.25] years and 36.50 [31.25; 58.50] years, respectively (p = 0.0446). In the first day after injury, only 25 % of patients asked for medical care (p = 0.0071). In patients with endophthalmitis according to biomicroscopy data on admission the following were significantly more frequent: eyelid edema (p < 0.0001), purulent discharge (p < 0.0001), total hyphema (p = 0.029), hypopyon (p < 0.0001), iris edema (p < 0.0001), fibrin in vitreous body (p = 0.0014), as well as its destruction (p = 0.0005). 87.5 % of patients with endophthalmitis showed absence of fundus reflex (p = 0.0105), and 25 % of patients with inflammation showed increased intraocular pressure (p = 0.0019). In patients with endophthalmitis, surgical treatment was performed: cataract phacoemulsification in 91.7 % of patients (p < 0.0001), vitreoectomy in 87.5 % (p = 0.0098), enucleation of the eye in 12.5 % (p = 0.0165) and evisceration in 12.5 % (p = 0.0165). Bacterial culture in patients with endophthalmitis revealed Gram-positive microflora in 100 % of cases. There were also significant differences between the groups in the intravitreal, systemic and subconjunctival antibiotic therapy used.Conclusion. Patients with penetrating eye injury and foreign body, complicated by endophthalmitis, are characterized by more signs of inflammation, pronounced damage to the eye and its structures.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: la resistencia bacteriana se ha convertido en una situación problemática que amenaza cada vez más la salud pública a nivel mundial. La aparición de cepas productoras de carbapenemasas, enzimas, con un amplio espectro para hidrolizar betalactámicos y resistir la acción de los inhibidores. Esto pone en riesgo el uso de los antibióticos carbapenémicos como último tratamiento de elección en las infecciones producidas por estos aislamientos.
Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de Klebsiella pneumoniae y Escherichia coli productoras de carbapenemasas aisladas en cuatro instituciones de salud de Barranquilla y Valledupar.
Metodología: estudio descriptivo transversal, retrospectivo de detección molecular de seis genes de carbapenemasas en Klebsiella pneumoniae y Escherichia coli entre marzo 2019 a marzo 2020 mediante una PCR múltiple.
Resultados: de 86 aislamientos clínicos, E. coli se recuperó en un 32% de urgencias, 31% de consulta externa, 28% de hospitalizados y 9% de UCI. K. pneumoniae se recuperó 46,87 % de hospitalizados, 32,81% de UCI, 12,50 % de urgencias y 7,81% de consulta externa. En el 77,9% de K. pneumoniae y 22% de E. coli se detectó al menos un gen de carbepenmasas. De estos el 88,37% (76/86) fueron carbapenemasas tipo blaKPC y el 1,16% (1/86) carbapenmemasas tipo blaVIM.
Conclusiones: K. pneumoniae fue el microorganismo más frecuente en hospitalización (46,87%) y UCI (32,81%), lo que refleja su afinidad por el ámbito hospitalario. La resistencia global a carbapenémicos se confirmó en 89,53%, mientras que al porcentaje restante de aislamientos se le atribuye otro mecanismo de resistencia no confirmado en el estudio.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: la Flebotomía es un procedimiento de extracción de sangre terapéutica indicada en alteraciones hematológicas, las cuales se relacionan con signos y síntomas que comprometen el sistema circulatorio, respiratorio y endocrino.
Objetivo: describir un grupo de pacientes tratados con flebotomía por el Banco Nacional de sangre (BNS), identificando la presencia de patologías o clínica relacionada a condiciones endocrinológicas o metabólicas.
Metodología: el estudio es observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se revisó 583 historias clínicas de pacientes atendidos en el BNS entre el 2010 al 2017. Se realizó análisis estadístico con medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión, además OR y chi cuadrado para establecer correlación.
Resultados: se observó un 42.36% de sobrepeso, 27.62% de obesidad, y presencia de trastornos como hipotiroidismo, alteraciones hepáticas y renales, SAHOS y síndrome metabólico, además de las alteraciones hematológicas clásicas, con una correlación significativa entre trastornos hematológicos y endocrinos o metabólicos (Chi cuadrado 18.84).
Conclusión: las alteraciones endocrinológicas pueden estar presentes en pacientes con alteración hematológica y esto podría plantear el uso de flebotomía como un coadyuvante en el manejo o prevención de estas. Además, se observa la necesidad de estandarización de protocolos de manejo en el uso de la flebotomía.

Published: April 2024

In emerging nations, in vitro fertilisation, or IVF, is becoming more and more common. In Karnataka, little to no research has been done to determine nurses' practises or awareness of this newly developed reproductive technique. The knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards IVF were ascertained through this study.A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Sri Siddhartha College of Nursing. Questions with a 5-point Likert scale that had been pretested which were used to gather data.Analysis was done using Epi info 2008 version 3.5.1.Out of 60 respondents, 33 (55 %) had inadequate knowledge, 19 (31.7 %) have moderately adequate knowledge, 8 (13.3 %) have adequate knowledge. Regarding indication, 22 (36.7 %) had moderate, while 14 (23.3 %) had adequate knowledge. Related to steps on IVF, 38 (63.3 %) had inadequate, while 22 (36.7 %) had adequate knowledge. About 38 (63.3 %) had inadequate and 3 (5 %) adequate knowledge regarding risk and side effects of IVF. About 39 (65 %) respondents had unfavourable attitude, while only 21 (35%) had favourable attitude towards IVF. The knowledge is distributed with a range of 7-29, mean of 17.63, median 16.50. SD 5.20 and mean percentage 50.38 %. Attitude with arrange of 10-19, 17.5 mean scores, 5.50 median scores, 1.98 as SD score and mean percentage87.5 respectively. The chi square value was not significant at 0.05 level for knowledge in relation to knowledge (1. 684), age (0.067), religion (2.927), types of family (1.669), area of living (1.071), source of information (2.125), exposure to previous information about IVF (2.222), attitude and age (0.297), attitude and religion (0.083) and association between attitude and source of information (0.601). The chi square value obtained was significant for association between attitude & gender (5.398), area of living (4.207), attitude and previous exposure (8.031).This research found an association between attitude and demographical variables such as gender and area of living and previous exposure to information about IVF was highly significant. Hence the attitudes on demographical variables were influenced by variables like age, religion. Type of family, source of information.

Objective:Demand for breastfeeding medicine specialists has increased alongside the recognition of breastfeeding’s importance and complexities. In response, Cleveland Clinic Children’s established a breastfeeding medicine clinic in 2022. This survey aimed to identify the needs of providers to define impactful quality improvement initiatives.Methods:An anonymous survey was sent in May 2022 to all providers caring for breastfeeding dyads at Cleveland Clinic. Basic statistical analyses were performed on the data.Results:In all, 126 providers completed the survey (31.0% response rate). Provider-reported patient breastfeeding difficulties included latch issues (86.0%), nipple pain (73.0%), and undersupply (64.0%). Provider needs included access to lactation consultants (66.0%), patient education (58.0%), and a breastfeeding physician (56.0%). Provider-reported patient misconceptions and provider misconceptions were also reported.Conclusions:The survey identified opportunities for supporting patients and providers by establishing a breastfeeding medicine clinic and highlighted the underestimation of breastfeeding difficulties by both providers and patients.

Published: April 2024

Objective:Human milk is the preferred source of nutrition for infants in their first 6 months of life. A majority of American women will initiate breastfeeding, but many will not continue due to the many challenges that arise, creating a significant gap between initiation and the long-term exclusivity rate. This quality improvement project aimed to increase postpartum lactation support encounters, fostering the mother’s knowledge and self-efficacy, which are known predictors for breastfeeding success.Methods:Program participants received proactive lactation support via telephone every 24–72 hours throughout the first 2 weeks postpartum. Breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and exclusivity pre- and postprogram were assessed.Results:All outreach attempts to participants were made as planned. Eight out of 20 enrolled participants completed the program and maintained breastfeeding exclusivity at 2 weeks. Breastfeeding knowledge scores were significantly higher at the completion of program compared with preprogram scores. Pre- and postprogram breastfeeding self-efficacy scores were not statistically significantly different; however, the mean was high for all participants, exceeding 65 both pre- and post-program.Conclusions:Transferrable knowledge from this quality improvement project will support sustainable improvement of lactation support across other institutions.
БУДУЋНОСТ И НЕПРОЗИРНОСТ – ПОВЕСНИ АСПЕКТИ ОЧИТОВАЊА КРИЗЕ КАО КВАЗИИМПЕРАТИВА ЗА САВРЕМЕНОГ ЧОВЕКА
Authors: МИЛОВИЋ НАТАША С. 
Published: April 2024

У овом раду испитујемо и драматизујемо повесне аспекте очитовања кризе код савременог човека. Настојимо да опишемо како се повесни аспекти кризе пројављују у виду искусивања фактичности стварности – како такво искусивање зачиње својеврсно питање о идентитету, доприноси преиначењу статуса стварног, намеће другачију динамику односа стварности и субјекта. Расветљавамо на који начин такво преиначење са собом повлачи другачије поимање улоге онога што је код човека и у стварности непрозирно, како раскрива спрегнутост између телесно-афективног и духовно-рефлексивног дела човековог бића и његову улогу за субјект који мисли, тумачи, дела, спознаје. Овакво испитивање повесних аспеката очитовања кризе код савременог човека има за циљ да укаже на то: како и зашто начини „ношења“ са њим, који се препознају као стратегије неодговарања на такво повесно искуство, доприносе људском самопоробљавању и типовима ресантимана које настојимо да идентификујемо – односно како је с обзиром на овакво повесно искуство изводиво другачије постављање према себи и стварности – тј. како је у новонасталим повесним околностима изводиво одговарање на њега. Истиче се да је разматрање односа према таквој повесној ситуацији од значаја додатно због тога што њено пренебрегавање све више подупире одрицање човека од оних аспеката његовог бића за које се показује да су од пресудног значаја за људску будућност.
Linking monitoring and evaluation to performance management in the South African public service
Authors: Mahlala Sandiso 
Published: April 2024

The main focus of the article is the necessity of using M&E as a catalyst and accelerator for increased public service efficacy. The South African government has been under tremendous pressure lately to meet the needs of its people in terms of development. This needs to be carried out in a transparent and citizen-focused way. The purpose of this article is to provide a strong link between performance management and M&E, two enablers that are now essential to the success of public service delivery in the twenty-first century, in light of the requirement to guarantee that M&E enhances such service delivery to the public. Additionally, the corrupt existing condition of affairs belies our understanding of the amount to which programmes have the intended effects and the degree to which they may continue to supply services over time. A diverse look at the meaning of M & E will be offered in this presentation. This is a conceptual study based on an examination of the literature from many sources, such as academic publications, popular media pronouncements, and policies.
