Purpose:
To evaluate the quality, reliability, technical quality, and readability of online information related to childhood glaucoma.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, no human subjects were studied. Analysis was done for online websites on childhood glaucoma. The terms “childhood glaucoma,” ”pediatric glaucoma,” “congenital glaucoma,” “buphthalmos,” and “big eyes” were entered into the Google search engine and the first 100 search results were assessed for quality, reliability, technical quality, and readability. Peer-reviewed articles, patient forum posts, dictionary definitions, and websites that appeared as targeted ads, were not in English, or were not focused on humans were excluded. Each website was evaluated for (1) quality and reliability using the DISCERN, HONcode, and JAMA criteria; (2) technical quality assessing 11 technical aspects; and (3) readability using six separate criteria (Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease Score and Grade Level, Gunning Fog Index score, the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook Index, Coleman–Liau Index, and Automated Readability Index).

Results:
The median scores for the DISCERN, HONcode, and JAMA criteria were 2.6 (range = 1 to 4.75; 1 = worst, 5 = best), 10 (range = 0 to 16; 0 = worst, 16 = best), and 2 (range = 0 to 4; 0 = worst, 4 = best), respectively. The median technical quality score was 0.7. Readability was poor among most websites, with a median Flesch-Kincaid grade Grade Level Score of 9.3. The median Gunning Fog Index score was 9.8. There was a statistically significantly higher JAMA score and Gunning Fog Index score among the private websites compared to the institutional websites. However, institutional websites had higher technical quality.

Conclusions:
Online information on childhood glaucoma had poor to moderate quality and reliability. The technical quality is good; however, most websites' readability was above the recommended 5th to 6th grade reading level.

Authors: George Thomas , Jakribettu Ramakrishna Pai , Suresh Sucharita , Pais Michael L. J. , Baliga Manjeshwar Shrinath 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective:
Dengue is a systemic and dynamic disease ranging from asymptomatic seroconversion to severe dengue with hemorrhagic and organ impairment. Although many reports exist on clinical and hematological aspects, surprisingly there are no articles that take in to account these parameters in people who have survived and succumbed to the illness in a matched cohort study with healthy controls from an endemic region. The present study is carried out with this objective.

Patients and Methods:
This was a retrospective study conducted at Father Muller Medical College Hospital, a tertiary care hospital, at Mangalore, Karnataka from January 2017 to December 2019 to compare the clinico-hematological parameters in the adult patients diagnosed with dengue fever. The data collected were entered into Microsoft Excel, and statistical analysis was done by Student’s t-test. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:
A total of 429 patients were included in the study, with 274 (63.87%) males and 237 (55.24%) patients belonging to the age group of 18–30 years. The most common symptoms were fever (100%), vomiting (96.04%), and headache (36.83%). The dengue patients had leukopenia, lymphocytosis, monocytosis, thrombocytopenia, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hematocrit. In addition to this, the deceased dengue patients (27) had deranged liver and renal parameters compared to alive.

Conclusions:
The results suggest that when a patient presents with fever, persistent vomiting, thrombocytopenia, and raised hematocrit, dengue fever should be the first differential diagnosis, especially in endemic area. Furthermore, the elderly and people with comorbidities are at high risk of death if medical care is delayed.
Familial nephrotic syndrome: Does it matter?
Authors: Quader Mohammed Maruf Ul 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) is the most common form of nephrotic syndrome in childhood. Familial SSNS seems to be clinically homogeneous but reports on genetically informative SSNS families are lacking. Familial SSNS was found to be genetically distinct from familial steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Several genes have been identified for SRNS. In general, genetic forms of nephrotic syndrome are resistant to common therapeutic approaches. But different cohort of steroid sensitive familial nephrotic syndrome were published. So precise clinical and genetic information on familial nephrotic syndrome are still lacking. Whether family history of nephrotic syndrome influences outcome is still in dilemma.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of metabolic diseases that results in aberrant glycogen metabolism due to genetic abnormalities of various enzymes. Glycogen degradation disorders primarily affect the liver, muscles, or both, which are the most seriously affected organs.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the clinical and biochemical characteristics of GSD in children at Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 1 year and 6 months from October 2021 to March 2023. All children diagnosed with GSD on liver biopsy were enrolled in the study.

Results:
Among 437 children, 21 (4.8%) had a clinical diagnosis of GSD. The mean age at presentation to BSMMU was 2.3 ± 1.3 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.1. Hepatomegaly was the primary cause of abdominal distension in all 21 patients (100%), whereas splenomegaly was found in nine (41.8%) patients. No patient had exhibited jaundice. One patient (4.7%) had experienced delayed development. The levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and uric acid were both increased in 16 (76.1%) and 20 (95.2%) patients, respectively. Around 4.7% of cases had neutropenia, hypoglycemia, and nephromegaly. Eighteen (85.7%) patients had short stature. Cirrhotic changes were absent in liver biopsy though periportal fibrosis was detected in 4 (19%) of the individuals.

Conclusions:
Children with GSD commonly present with short stature, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperuricemia. Histopathology of the liver remains the preferred diagnostic means in Bangladesh.

Abstract
GRIN (glutamate ionotropic receptor N-methyl-d-aspartate)-related disorders are a group of rare developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. It is characterized by developmental delay or intellectual disability, epilepsy, muscular hypotonia, movement disorders, spasticity, feeding difficulties, and behavior abnormalities. These are caused by mutations affecting GRIN genes (mostly GRIN1, GRIN2A, and GRIN2B genes). We are presenting a 3-year-old girl who came with paroxysmal dyskinesia, developmental delay, and regression along with speech delay. Clinical exome sequencing showed GRIN1-related hyperkinetic and neurodevelopmental disorders. We are presenting a case with unexplained dyskinesia with GRIN1 mutation.
Dark Humor in the Poetry of Sherman Alexie and Ahmed Matar: A Comparative Study
Authors: Jasim Al-Hemeedawi Mustafa Amjed , Adul Hadi Shahad Ammar 
Published: December 2023

Dark humor is a form of comedy that explores taboo topics such as death, disease, and tragedy. While it is often controversial and can be offensive to some, it is also a means of coping with difficult or uncomfortable topics and offering a fresh perspective on societal norms. Just as stated by Merriam-Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature, dark humor or black humor is a kind of humor that is marked by the use of morbid, ironic, or grotesquely comic episodes that ridicule human folly. However, this paper examines the concept of dark humor by tackling some of the significant poems of the English poet “Sherman Alexie” and the Iraqi poet “Ahmed Matar.” Those two poets discuss subjects and problems of real-life experiences. The purpose of this research is to shed light on Native Americans' daily lives on reservations and demonstrate their pain as well as the poet’s personal experience there, which is discussed by Sherman Alexie in his poems, “Futures”, “Traveling”, “Translated from the American”, “Giving Blood”, “War all the time”, “Reservation cap driver”, “The mice war”. While the Iraqi poet tended to criticize Arab rules, the lack of freedom they force, their use of torture, the government, and their persuasion of authority at all costs. Here are some of his notable poems that this research are going to explain and make critique in details. “They put a watchdog on my mouth", "وَضَعوا فوقَ فمي كلبَ حِراسه", “My awful silence”, "صمتي الرهيب", “The lost Caravan”, "قافلة تائهة". Ultimately, this paper aims to offer a fair viewpoint on the usage of dark humor and to stimulate additional investigation into its psychological and social significance. It can be hypothesized that Dark humor has been used heavenly by Ahmed Matar and Sherman Alexie in their poetry, and the researcher is going to show the importance of using humor is to attack the capitalist system, as in Sherman Alexie country, and the ruthless hegemonic government as in Ahmed Matar' country. It is used to show vulgarity of governments and to amuse the audience to certain extent.

Introduction: The village funds that are managed are expected to realize the welfare of the village community. Community welfare can make a country strong and can compete with other countries. To be able to meet the needs of a quality life, it can be seen from how welfare is. Therefore, welfare is the main value that is always pursued so that humans can realize it. One important factor in realizing welfare is the existence of village funds. Efforts to increase awareness of village officials on the management of state finances, in this case the management of village funds for village officials, require counseling on the allocation of village funds and criminal acts of corruption. The low level of understanding and awareness of the law can be caused by the lack of socialization and supervision, this can be seen from the high level of corruption that occurs in Indonesia, especially in rural villages in Indonesia including Maluku, the lack of community access to knowledge of village financial management certainly causes miss management in village financial management.
Purposes of the Research: Analyzing Corruption in Village Fund Allocation.
Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative juridical, with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The sources of legal materials used are primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials.
Results of the Research: The management of village funds in Indonesia, including in the Maluku region, should aim to improve the welfare of village communities. However, unfortunately, there are several obstacles that hinder the achievement of this goal. Low levels of legal understanding and awareness among village officials and village financial management tools contribute to this problem. Therefore, to overcome this problem, serious efforts are needed to improve understanding and legal awareness related to village fund management. This includes counseling on the allocation of village funds and the impact of corruption crimes. Better education and training should be provided to village officials and staff involved in village financial management. Only in this way can we reduce the level of corruption that harms village communities and the country as a whole.

Introduction: Based on the Prosecutor's Law number 16 of 2004, especially in Article 30 paragraph 1 letter d it states "in the criminal field the Prosecutor's Office has the duty and authority to conduct investigations into Certain Criminal Laws”. From this it is known that one particular case is a criminal act of corruption. Moreover, taking into account that Maluku is an archipelago, of course there are problems in implementation, which of course are experienced by every District Attorney's Office.
Purposes of the Research: This study aims to find out how the effectiveness of handling corruption cases in Maluku as an archipelago.
Methods of the Research: This paper uses empirical juridical research methods. The researchers used a case approach (case approach).
Results of the Research: The results of this study shows that the Prosecutor's Office in the Maluku region has not been effective in handling Corruption Crime Cases in the archipelago area because law enforcement and legal justice of the prosecutor's office in the Maluku region which are contained in regulations do not accommodate case handling in the archipelago area, this has an impact on non-compliance with the principle of speedy justice and low cost. Because the central trial for Corruption Crimes must be held in the provincial capital, so this is quite burdensome for each Prosecutor's Office. As for the obstacles to carrying out the effectiveness of legal handling, the authors found that there were six (6) factors, namely budget limitations, difficulty accessing from one island to another, internet network in the archipelago, no regulations governing the handling of corruption in the archipelago, difficulties confiscating goods, and the Corruption Court located in Ambon City.
METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE MARKET VALUE OF VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANIES
Authors: Виноградов А.Ю. 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена анализу подходов и методов оценки венчурных компаний (стартапов) в зарубежной и отечественной оценочной практике на различных стадиях жизненного цикла компаний. Основными сложностями при оценке рыночной стоимости стартапов являются отсутствие финансовых показателей (выручка, EBITDA), к которым могли бы применяться классические мультипликаторы в рамках сравнительного подхода, а также проблематичность обоснованного и достоверного прогнозирования денежных потоков компании в условиях высокой неопределенности. В связи с этим в оценочной практике было разработано множество методов оценки, представляющих собой определенные модификации традиционных подходов к оценке, используемых для определения рыночной стоимости зрелых компаний. Автором проведена аналитическая работа по исследованию различных методов оценки с выявлением их слабых и сильных сторон, а также анализ их применимости на различных стадиях жизненного цикла венчурных компаний. Сделан вывод, что на текущий момент в научной литературе и оценочной практике не существует идеального и универсального метода оценки стоимости венчурной компании. По мере развития венчурной компании методы оценки меняются с качественных в сторону более традиционных количественных методов.
The article analyses the approaches and methods of valuation of venture capital companies (start-ups) in foreign and domestic valuation practice at different stages of the life cycle of companies. The main difficulties in assessing the market value of startups are the lack of financial indicators (revenues, EBITDA) to which classical multipliers could be applied in a comparative approach, as well as the problem of reasonable and reliable prediction of company cash flows in high uncertainty. In this regard, the valuation practice has developed many valuation methods which are certain modifications of traditional valuation approaches used to determine the market value of mature companies. Analytical work was carried out to investigate various valuation methods, identifying their weaknesses and strengths, as well as an analysis of their applicability at different stages of the life cycle of venture capital companies. The main conclusion is that there is currently no ideal and universal method for valuing a venture capital company in the scientific literature and valuation practice. As the venture capital company develops, valuation methods shift from qualitative to more traditional quantitative methods.
Da vida das plantas

Este ensaio aborda as experiências fílmicas sobre o processo de criação, roteirização e edição do documentário Da vida das plantas dirigido pelos autores deste manuscrito. Pensamos a proposta do documentário centrada no conceito de circuitos e redes e como os atores sociais estão interligados no sistema de medicina popular viabilizada pelas plantas medicinais. Sendo assim, nossa narrativa fílmica foi construída com atores que tiveram vivência institucional com o trato das plantas medicinais, outra com o cultivo, promoção e venda de plantas medicinais para população que não tem acesso a tratamento alopático, ou até mesmo evita esse tipo de autocuidado com a saúde. Desse modo, as plantas medicinais, chamadas aqui também como ervas, são veículos onde ideias, concepções e crenças de mundo se interligam, gerando engajamentos e filiações. A conversa pontual entre a cliente e a vendedora do mercado sintetiza esse argumento e demarca como cenário o universo rico de crenças que alimentam o imaginário amazônico e constrói um mundo de sentidos e práticas para o cotidiano e além dele.
colheita do amendoim no Recôncavo da Bahia
Authors: Menezes Soglia Daniel de 
Published: December 2023

O amendoim carrega consigo a poesia do encontro, tanto como ícone da festança junina, espaço de celebração popular da cultura nordestina, quanto no próprio ato de sua colheita, em que amigos e amigas, compadres e achegados são convocados, e seguem, ao fim da labuta, entre presentes e comilanças. Sendo assim carrega a síntese do mês de Junho, o mais amado por nosso povo, a síntese de uma cultura banhada no catolicismo popular, que celebra os santos de forma sagrada e profana, e está, ele mesmo, imbricado com o calendário católico. Por tradição se planta no dia de São José, 19 de março e se colhe para a celebração de São João e São Pedro, 24 e 29 de junho. Assim me foi contado por Balbina, Erenita e Francisco, donos do pedaço de chão que abriga e nutre os amendoins das fotos que se seguem. Mas essa não é a regra, tudo depende das chuvas e do acompanhamento diário do fruto. A colheita é um evento coletivo, mobilizando família e amigos. Duas funções são bem marcadas, quem colhe o ramo, com o corpo abaixado e as mãos esticadas, e quem "despenca" os frutos. A roda para despencar o fruto das raízes é formada, e a conversa se prolonga, assim o amendoim vai se acumulando nos caixotes, num ciclo de terra e mãos. O segredo, segundo Binho, filho de Balbina, é arrancar o ramo inteiro, e de uma só vez. Outro segredo são as capinas das plantas ao redor, só se pode fazer duas no terreno pós plantação, é preciso deixá-los compartilhar a terra com as outras espécies.
O ensaio que segue busca dar conta dessas inúmeras instancias mobilizadas e atravessadas no instante em que a colheita do amendoim se realiza, em especial a sociabilidade ali engendrada, a visibilização dos sujeitos que fomentam essas práticas, a disposição dos corpos, as relações de gênero, e assumidamente a técnica em si de retirada e despenque do amendoim, as mãos e as rodas que se formam nesse devir. Seguindo Cpoque (2012), a imagem fotográfica portanto, aparece como espaço de registro e dialogo, onde o sujeito enunciador, no processo de feitura da imagem, revela a partir de gestos, poses, enquadramentos aparentemente banais, encenações e máscaras os seus valores e significados, de forma simbólica, corporificada, performada, sendo assim possível rastrear as relações sociais, sentidos e significados que se articulam ao redor das mesmas.

No campo dos estudos sociais das ciências, as pesquisas sensíveis às temáticas de gênero foram precursoras de abordagens teóricas e metodológicas inovadoras, que foram mais recentemente se consolidando nas diferentes disciplinas que o compõem: a situacionalidade do conhecimento (Harding, 1986, 2015; Haraway, 1995; Anzaldúa, 1987); a importância das materialidades na abordagem crítica sobre as ciências (Barad, 2007; Butler, 1993); a especificidade da América Latina na geopolítica mundial, e nos tipos de conhecimentos produzidos pelas universidades latino-americanas (Vessuri, 1987; Medina et. al., 2014 ; Pérez-Bustos, 2017; Roca, 2010). As perspectivas feministas dialogam com outros recortes importantes nos estudos socioantropológicos das ciências como arte e tecnologia; humanos e não humanos; questões de gênero, raça e etnia (Rohden e Monteiro, 2019). Esse episódio encerra a quarta temporada do podcast Mundaréu, e reproduz a gravação de uma Mesa Redonda realizada na XIV Reunião de Antropologia do Mercosul, realizada na Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), em agosto de 2023. Procuramos na ocasião discutir temas, questões e problemas a partir da situacionalidade de cada uma das pesquisadoras palestrantes. Esses temas foram tratados à luz dos seguintes problemas: como comunicar resultados, disputar sentidos, conversar sobre as pesquisas feitas sobre ciência e tecnologia na América Latina?; como se negocia a perspectiva feminista no âmbito da pesquisa, e como os resultados são produzidos e comunicados?; e em que medida o desenvolvimento científico/tecnológico atende a prioridades efetivamente coletivas, populares e locais, conectadas a perspectivas politicamente situadas?
