OBJECTIVE
Many neurosurgical approaches require incision of the temporal muscle (TM). Consequently, patients often report reduced opening of the mouth, facial asymmetry, numbness, and pain after lateral craniotomies. A systematic assessment of these postoperative subjective complaints is lacking in the literature. Therefore, in this study, the authors evaluate subjective complaints after pterional, frontolateral–extended pterional, or temporal craniotomy using a 6-item questionnaire. They examine the association of these subjective complaints with the extent of the mobilization of the TM.

METHODS
The questionnaire assessed complaints about limited opening of the mouth, pain in the mastication muscles, facial asymmetry, sensory deficits in the temporal region, weather sensitivity, and headache. Eligible patients with benign intracranial processes operated on using lateral cranial approaches between 2016 and 2019 were included. The questionnaire was answered before surgery (baseline) and 3 and 15 months after surgery. Surgeons documented the extent of TM incision.

RESULTS
Among the 55 patients in this study, all complaints apart from headache showed an increase at a statistically significant rate at 3 months postoperatively, that is, limited mouth opening (p < 0.0001), pain in the mastication muscles (p < 0.0001), an impression of asymmetry in the mastication muscles (p = 0.0002), sensory disturbances in the temporal region (p < 0.0001), and weather sensitivity (p < 0.001). Only pain in the mastication muscles showed a relevant decrease at 15 months postsurgery (p = 0.058). The extent of the mobilized TM was associated with pain in the mastication muscles at 3 months (p = 0.0193).

CONCLUSIONS
Subjective complaints in patients following lateral craniotomy can be detected. As the extent of the mobilized TM relevantly influenced pain in the mastication muscles, the authors conclude that one should sparsely mobilize the TM. Furthermore, a neurosurgeon should be aware and warn the patient of subjective postoperative complaints and inform the patient about their natural course.

OBJECTIVE
Functional stereotactic neurosurgery including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and radiofrequency lesioning is well established and widely used for treatment of movement disorders and various other neurological and psychiatric diseases. Although functional stereotactic neurosurgery procedures are considered relatively safe, intracranial hemorrhage resulting in permanent neurological deficits may occur in 1%–3% of patients. Microelectrode recording (MER) has been recognized as a valuable tool for refining the final target in functional stereotactic neurosurgery. Moreover, MER provides insight into the underlying neurophysiological pathomechanisms of movement disorders and other diseases. Nevertheless, there is an ongoing controversy on whether MER increases the risk for hemorrhage. The authors aimed to compare the risk of hemorrhage in functional stereotactic neurosurgical procedures with regard to the use of MER.

METHODS
The authors performed a comparative analysis on a consecutive series of 645 functional neurosurgery procedures, including 624 DBS surgeries and 21 radiofrequency lesionings, to evaluate whether the use of MER would increase the risk for hemorrhage. MER was performed in 396 procedures, while no MER was used in 249 cases. The MER technique involved the use of a guiding cannula and a single trajectory when feasible. Postoperative CT scans were obtained within 24 hours after surgery in all patients and screened for the presence of hemorrhage.

RESULTS
Twenty-one intracranial hemorrhages were detected on the postoperative CT scans (3.2%). Of the 21 intracranial hemorrhages, 14 were asymptomatic and 7 were symptomatic. Symptoms were transient except in 1 case. There was no statistically significant correlation between hemorrhage and the use of MER at any site (subdural, ventricle, trajectory, target, whether asymptomatic or symptomatic). There were 4 cases of symptomatic hemorrhage in the MER group (1%) and 3 cases in those without MER (1.2%).

CONCLUSIONS
Intraoperative MER did not increase the overall risk of hemorrhage in the authors’ experience using primarily a single MER trajectory and a guiding cannula.

BackgroundThe co-occurrence of substance use disorder and mental disorder, known as dual diagnosis, has a distressingly high prevalence among individuals grappling with either of these conditions. Mood disorders, especially depression, constitute a substantial burden for People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) and a significant public health concern in Vietnam. Identifying risk factors for depression in PWID is imperative for the development of targeted interventions.MethodsWe enrolled PWID into a cohort using the respondent-driven sampling method. Over a 36-month period, we systematically tracked the emergence of depression and employed multiple imputation in conjunction with a mixed nonlinear model to pinpoint risk factors for depression in this demographic. At inclusion, depression was screened using the PHQ-2 questionnaire, and subsequent episodes of depression were assessed semi-annually using the CES-D8.ResultsThree hundred and ninety-one PWID (26.6%) were depressed. Major risk factors for depression included being female, not having a permanent residency, having been hospitalized and using methamphetamine more than weekly. Other risk factors included age, being single, not having a health insurance card and not being on methadone.LimitationsThe exclusion of missing visits and social desirability could have led to selection and information biases. In this observational study, confusion biases are possible despite our best efforts.ConclusionDepression is alarmingly frequent in PWID. In this study taking in account the chronological relationship between sociodemographic and clinical factors and depression, risk factors were identified in this specific setting of low-to-middle income country. The findings highlight the need to develop innovative targeted psychiatric interventions with the help of supporting peers.

Published: November 2023

This paper figures out the characters and the messages or moral values of a play namely Lady Widermere’s Fan. The drama was designed based on Heathcote’s (1984) understanding of drama in education in order to cultivate creative pedagogy and ‘character’ building. The data was gained by reading the drama script based on existing documents. The result showed that every character has various characters and each of them is related to others. The main character has fundamentally strengthened the plot and has important effects to other characters. The moral values that can be seen from this play are that all humankind is far from the word “perfect” even if they are consider themselves as good, kind, and wise people. They still tend to have shortage.

Published: November 2023

Gender-based violence against women is still one of the most worrying facts in Kosovo. This paper examines determinants of women’s tolerant attitudes toward gender-based violence against women in Kosovo. An empirical assessment of determinants of tolerance towards domestic violence was conducted by utilizing data from the Kosovo Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) carried out in 2019–2020. The survey was carried out with 5,124 households, drawn from a sample representative of the whole population of Kosovo. The national representative sampling by the MICS survey allows for generalized findings. Economic conditions, lower education level, residence, marital status, and marrying age are important predictors of a higher rate of women’s tolerant attitudes toward gender-based violence among women in Kosovo. The study’s important findings open new pathways for multi-level design studies including more variables such as social support, family finances management, gender roles in parenting, health situation, institutional responsiveness, and efficacy of institutional interventions to reduce gender-based violence.

Relevansi Psikologi Lintas Budaya Dalam Memahami Kearifan Lokal
Authors: Noerjanto Francisco 
Published: November 2023

Psikologi Lintas Budaya lahir sebagai reaksi kenyataan bahwa banyak teori psikologi yang dikembangkan di negara Barat dan dianggap bersifat universal tidak dapat diterapkan di negara dengan budaya yang berbeda. Dalam perkembangan selanjutnya psikologi lintas budaya dianggap sebagai disiplin psikologi untuk mempelajari persamaan dan perbedaan dari fungsi psikologis individu di berbagai kelompok budaya dan etnik (Berry, 2002) sehingga memungkinkan para ilmuan psikologi untuk menemukan perilaku yang bersifat universal (etik) dan membedakannya dari perilaku yang bersifat khas (emik). Ada dua tujuan yang hendak dicapai dengan menggunakan teori psikologi lintas budaya yaitu dapat menguji apakah teori atau pengetahuan psikologi yang dikembangkan di suatu budaya dapat digeneralisasi ke konteks budaya lain, dan dapat diperoleh variasi yang lebih luas dari gejala yang diteliti sehingga para ilmuan psikologi dapat terhindar dari etnosentrisme. Etnosentrisme berarti suatu kecenderungan menggunakan kelompok sendiri sebagai ukuran dalam menilai kelompok lain, (Setiadi, 2008). Konsep etik dan emik dalam psikologi lintas budaya adalah merupakan pilihan tepat untuk memahami kearifan lokal.
The field of cross-cultural psychology is the scientific study of variations in human behavior, taking into account the ways in which behavior is influenced by cultural context “ Cross-cultural psychology is the empirical study of members of various culture groups who have had different experiences that lead to predictable and significant differences in behavior. In the majority of such studies, the groups under study speak different languages and are governed by different political units” (Brislin, Lonner, & Thorndike, 1973, p. 5). Perilaku manusia sangat beragam merupakan studi psikologi lintas budaya dengan pendekatan konteks budaya setempat yang mempengaruhi perilaku individu maupun kelompok. Kita dapat menemukan nilai-nilai budaya setempat yang memiliki persamaan dan perbedaan terhadap kelompok budaya lain dalam berbagai bidang misalnya bahasa, gaya kepemimpinan, politik dan lain-lain; misalnya gaya kepemimpinan paternalistik, tutur bahasa lembut dan keras, stratifikasi sosial-ekonomi dls.

AbstractThe development of advanced solar energy technologies, which efficiently convert solar energy to heat and then to electricity, remains a significant challenge in the pursuit of clean energy production. Here, this challenge is addressed by designing a photothermal absorber composed of liquid gallium particles and a natural polyphenol‐based coordination ink. The design of this composite takes advantage of the tuneable light absorption properties of the polyphenol inks and can also be applied onto flexible substrates. While the ink utilizes two types of coordination complexes to absorb light at different wavelengths, the liquid gallium particles with high thermal and electrical properties provide enhanced thermoelectric effect. As such, the photothermal composite exhibits a broad‐spectrum light absorption and highly efficient solar‐to‐heat conversion. A thermoelectric generator coated with the photothermal composite exhibits an impressive voltage output of ≈185.3 mV when exposed to 1 Sun illumination, without requiring any optical concentration, which sets a new record for a power density at 345.5 µW cm−2. This work showcases the synergistic combination of natural compound‐based light‐absorbing coordination complexes with liquid metals to achieve a strong photothermal effect and their integration into thermoelectric devices with powerful light harvesting capabilities.

Published: November 2023

AbstractSurface modification of nanoparticles (NPs) is crucial for their effective utilization in diverse medical conditions, as it addresses challenges such as rapid passive clearance by the immune system, damage to the reticuloendothelial system, lack of specific cell targeting, and inadequate biocompatibility. The natural cell membrane (CM)‐coating technology has recently garnered considerable attention as an optimal strategy for enhancing artificial nanoformulations. This biomimetic technique directly confers inner NPs with multiple functions, such as immune evasion, precise targeting, and excellent biocompatibility, all of which are mediated by source cell‐inherent surface membrane proteins. Additionally, engineering techniques originally designed to enhance existing theranostic modalities employed in clinical settings are applied to natural CM carriers, thereby improving the physical properties of nanomaterials to drive further advancements. In this comprehensive review, diverse CM sources, such as red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells, cancer cells, bacteria, and other unconventional types, the core NPs employed in these cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (CM‐NPs), preparation methods, and the latest advancements of CM‐NPs across diverse biomedical fields, are reviewed. Engineering strategies for enhancing natural CMs have also been emphasized. Furthermore, the review comprehensively addresses the major challenges and their corresponding solutions in the clinical translation of this evolving field.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA great deal of attention has been paid on layered manganese dioxide (δ−MnO2) as promising cathode candidate for aqueous zinc‐ion battery (ZIB) due to the excellent theoretical capacity, high working voltage and Zn2+/H+ co‐intercalation mechanism. However, caused by the insertion of Zn2+, the strong coulomb interaction and sluggish diffusion kinetics have resulted in significant structure deformation, insufficient cycle stability and limited rate capability. And it is still far from satisfactory to accurately modulate H+ intercalation for superior electrochemical kinetics. Herein, the terrace‐shape δ−MnO2 hybrid superlattice by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) pre‐intercalation (PVP−MnO2) was proposed with the state‐of‐the‐art ZIBs performance. Local atomic structure characterization and theoretical calculations have been pioneering in confirming the hybrid superlattice‐triggered synergy of electron entropy stimulation and selective H+ Grotthuss intercalation. Accordingly, PVP−MnO2 hybrid superlattice exhibits prominent specific capacity (317.2 mAh g−1 at 0.125 A g−1), significant rate performance (106.1 mAh g−1 at 12.5 A g−1), and remarkable cycle stability at high rate (≈100 % capacity retention after 20,000 cycles at 10 A g−1). Therefore, rational design of interlayer configuration paves the pathways to the development of MnO2 superlattice for advanced Zn−MnO2 batteries.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThree‐armed poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) and poly(trimethylene carbonate‐co‐Ɛ‐caprolactone) (P(TMC‐co‐ε‐CL)) macromers with molecular weights of approximately 30 kg mol−1 are synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization and subsequent functionalization with methacrylic anhydride. Networks are then prepared by photo‐crosslinking. To investigate the in vitro and in vivo degradation properties of these photo‐crosslinked networks and assess the effect of ε‐caprolactone content on the degradation properties, PTMC networks, and copolymer networks with two different TMC:ε‐CL ratios are prepared. PTMC networks degraded slowly, via an enzymatic surface erosion process, both in vitro and in vivo. Networks prepared from P(TMC‐co‐ε‐CL) macromers with a 74:26 ratio are found to degrade slowly as well, via a surface erosion process, albeit at a higher rate compared to PTMC networks. Increasing the ε‐CL content to a ratio of 52:48, resulted in a faster degradation. These networks lost their mechanical properties much sooner than the other networks. Thus, PTMC and P(TMC‐co‐ε‐CL) networks are interesting networks for tissue engineering purposes and the exact degradation properties can be tuned by varying the TMC:ε‐CL ratio, providing researchers with a tool to obtain copolymer networks with the desired degradation rate depending on the intended application.
Robust consensus of unknown heterogeneous non‐minimum phase multi‐agent systems with unmodeled dynamics and disturbances
Authors: Cao Wenji , Feng Gang 
Published: November 2023

SummaryIn this paper, the robust leader‐following output consensus problem is addressed for unknown heterogeneous non‐minimum phase linear multi‐agent systems with unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances under directed graphs. The system matrix of the leader and the parameters of the nominal dynamics of the followers are assumed to be unknown. A novel distributed robust adaptive pole placement control scheme consisting of an adaptive distributed observer and a robust adaptive pole placement controller is developed. It is shown that the robust leader‐following output consensus problem of the concerned multi‐agent system can be solved by the proposed distributed robust adaptive control scheme under some sufficient conditions. It is also shown that the exact output consensus can be achieved if the unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances vanish as time goes to infinity. Two examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
