ABSTRACT
Psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures (PNES), also known as dissociative seizures, are paroxysms of altered subjective experience, involuntary movements and reduced self‐control that can resemble epileptic seizures, but have distinct clinical characteristics and a complex neuropsychiatric aetiology. They are common, accounting for over 10% of seizure emergencies and around 30% of cases in tertiary epilepsy units, but the diagnosis is often missed or delayed. The recently proposed “integrative cognitive model” accommodates current research on experiential, psychological and biological risk factors for the development of PNES, but in view of the considerable heterogeneity of presentations and medical context, it is not certain that a universal model can capture the full range of PNES manifestations. This narrative review addresses key learning objectives of the ILAE curriculum by describing the demographic profile, common risk factors (such as trauma or acute stress) and comorbid disorders (such as other dissociative and functional disorders, post‐traumatic stress disorder, depressive and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, comorbid epilepsy, head injury, cognitive and sleep problems, migraine, pain, and asthma). The clinical implications of demographic and aetiological factors for diagnosis and treatment planning are addressed.

ABSTRACT

Reflex seizures are consistently elicited by a specific afferent sensory stimulus or an activity undertaken by the patient. Among many known stimuli, defecation has rarely been reported. We describe the case of a child with reflex seizures triggered by defecation, considering the diagnostic challenge, epilepsy evaluation with video‐EEG monitoring, as well as impact on neuropsychology, behaviour and quality of life. The child was a 10‐year‐old boy with seizure onset at age four with epilepsy diagnosis established one and a half years later. Seizures were focal with impaired awareness triggered by defecation. Video‐EEG and structural and functional neuroimaging were performed and all pointed to the left temporal region. The patient became seizure‐free with carbamazepine and valproic acid. Neuropsychological and quality of life assessments suggested global impairment, both before and after seizure control. This is the third case of epilepsy induced by defecation reported in the literature. The rarity of this entity may be a diagnostic challenge and postpone specific treatment. Reporting of cases of defecation reflex epilepsy may provide a better understanding of its physiopathology and optimize effective treatment, avoiding cognitive, behavioural and poor social consequences.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

LGI‐1 antibody encephalitis is a rare autoimmune limbic encephalitis which has been reported predominantly in adults. Seizures in LGI‐1 antibody encephalitis exhibit significant semiological variability. Faciobrachial dystonic seizures are characteristically seen in this condition and have so far been described only in adults. Other seizure types have also been reported. We describe the case of a seven‐year‐old girl with LGI‐1 limbic encephalitis who presented with acute new‐onset seizures, and rapidly deteriorated over the course of a few weeks with very frequent seizures and encephalopathy, becoming non‐verbal and non‐ambulatory. The electroclinical presentation of this child with LGI‐1 encephalitis makes this case unique and further highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion for diagnosis in young children. Early diagnosis can lead to prompt and appropriate treatment with immunotherapy, and potential harmful treatments such as pharmacological coma can be avoided. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest case ever reporter. [

Authors: Fernández‐Torre José L. , Martín-García María , Orozco-Sevilla Ernesto , Mato-Mañas David , Hernández‐Hernández Miguel A. , Marco de Lucas Enrique 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Motor epilepsia partialis continua is a widely described variant of simple focal motor status epilepticus. However, few studies have addressed associated pathophysiological anomalies that may help us understand the cortical organization, basic functioning and control of voluntary movement. We describe the clinical, video‐EEG and neuroimaging findings from two cases of motor epilepsia partialis continua that support the hypothesis of the coexistence of both classic body and complex motor map models in the cortical organization of voluntary movement in humans.

Surgical management of pediatric patients with encephalopathy due to electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES)
Authors: Wang Shelly , Weil Alexander G. , Ibrahim George M. , Fallah Aria , Korman Brandon , Ragheb John , Bhatia Sanjiv , Duchowny Michael 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Aims
: ESES is a developmental epileptic disorder directly responsible for progressive encephalopathy and neurocognitive regression. The natural history, indications for surgical intervention, and predictors for favorable seizure and neuropsychological outcome remain unclear.

Methods
: We performed a retrospective review of children who underwent resective or disconnective surgery for ESES between January 2009 and July 2016 at a large tertiary pediatric center. Information on the patients’ demographics, seizure semiology, radiographic and electrographic findings, and surgical management was collected. The primary outcome was seizure freedom at last follow‐up visit, and secondary outcomes were neuropsychological improvement and electrographic ESES resolution.

Results
: We identified 11 children who underwent surgery for ESES. The mean ages were 3.2 years for seizure onset, 7.1 years for formal ESES diagnosis, and 9.4 years for surgery. Seizure etiologies included cortical malformations (four patients), encephalomalacia and gliosis from prior hemorrhage or tumor resections (three patients), developmental porencephaly (one patient), and Rasmussen's encephalitis (one patient); the etiology was unknown in two children. Preoperatively, nine children had motor deficits, seven had speech and language delay, and three had visual field defects. All children had seizures and neuropsychological regression prior to surgical consideration. Focal cortical resections were performed in seven children, and hemispherectomies in four. Post‐operatively, nine children experienced decreased seizure frequency, eight had neuropsychological improvement, and nine had resolution of electrographic ESES. Patients with poor surgical outcomes had more significant pre‐operative comorbidities, in addition to bilateral ESES activity.

Conclusion
: In this case series, surgery for a carefully selected group of children with ESES is safe and feasible, yielding rates of seizure freedom and neuropsychological improvement that compare favorably with previous reports for antiepileptic drugs, benzodiazepines, and steroids. As we gain greater understanding into the management of ESES, surgery is an increasingly useful tool for patients with mild or moderate neurodevelopmental delay, focal epileptogenic foci, and hemi‐ESES electrographic findings.
All mixed up in the terrain: The geographic knowledge of mamelucos applied by Jesuits in the cartographic production of Paraguayan Backlands (1746-1753)
Authors: S. de Moura Denise A. 
Published: January 2024

Cartographic images made by Jesuits in the 18th century turned out to be transnational and locally mixed cognitive experiences, as these missionary agents of a global institution were forced to establish a collaborative relationship with the multicultural spaces where they settled and undertook their activities. One of the cartographic genres developed by the missionaries, the Paraquariae Provinciae, combined information and geographical knowledge of the mamelucos, a mestizo social type of Amerindian with white Portuguese settler which has been widely acknowledged but poorly elucidated by the historiography making process. The present paper aims to address these issues by applying concepts and methods of critical cartography in order to compare maps built by the Jesuits.

Published: January 2024

Muy avanzada la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, se destinaron algunos ingenieros militares al archipiélago de Chiloé con la finalidad de efectuar trabajos en obras de fortificación. Al ser estos ingenieros también gobernadores o intendentes encargados de la administración, fueron protagonistas de un horizonte de actividades más amplio, el cual contemplaba preocuparse de la ordenación del territorio, de su integración a través del mejoramiento de los caminos existentes o la construcción de nuevas vías, lo que resultó en el reconocimiento territorial y el relevamiento de mapas. Entre estos ingenieros militares, destacó Francisco Hurtado del Pino, autor de los tres mapas que expondremos y que dan cuenta de sus trabajos y sus días en el archipiélago.

Published: January 2024

The role of the guardian in marriage is an important pillar that must be fulfilled. In the event that the guardian is unable to attend the ceremony, representation can be made by the Head of the Sub-district KUA or Penghulu. The practice of "taukil wali" in Jati Sub-district is quite common, sometimes for justifiable reasons and sometimes without valid reasons. This research aims to explore the implementation of "taukil wali" in the KUA of Jati Sub-district in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs Number 20 of 2019. This research takes a Juridical Empirical approach, involving fieldwork to collect data on the application of "taukil wali" in the jurisdiction of KUA Jati, analyzed based on PMA Number 20 of 2019. The findings show that the application of "taukil wali" in KUA Jati is in accordance with the regulation. However, there are consequences that must be considered if the appointed guardian is not valid. Among them is the potential annulment of the marriage, which results in the absence of legal rights and obligations for the parties involved and the possibility of legal action. Even if the nasab guardian does not know the condition of the prospective bride, taukil wali is still carried out using taukil wali bil kitabah, in accordance with the provisions of PMA Number 20 of 2019.

Authors: Farani Rizki , Aryanti Widya 
Published: January 2024

Mastering English has become one important skill for students in higher education, especially in university level. As the impact, every university provides English program for students in the faculty or language center. However, not every student can master English fast, for example: students with visual impairments. Students with visual impairment are a group of students who have visual problem; either it is low vision or blind. Students with visual impairment need different approach in learning English. This condition motivates lectures to adapt specific instructional design to support classroom activities. There are 4 important components in designing instructional design for students with visual impairment, such as students' characteristics, learning objective, method and assessment. The design should be adapted to fully support their inclusion in the classroom. By designing instructional design for students with visual impairments, it is expected that they will be able to comprehend the material and to increase their motivation in learning English. This paper aimed to understand appropriate instructional design for students with visual impairment. This paper also provides study cases in Inclusion English Class at university level where students with visual impairment and sighted students study at the same classroom. By discussing this issue, it is expected that every lecture recognize basic characteristics of students with visual impairment and choose the appropriate instructional design to accommodate all character of students.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Nowadays, the prevalence of digital device usage has shifted the demands for multifocal intraocular lenses. To accurately capture outcomes, clinical practice must evaluate digital reading performance. We aimed to assess the digital reading performance using a digital device in patients with diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses.
Methods:
Patients with bilateral diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation were included in the study. Monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected visual acuity was measured using the LogMAR chart and the MNREAD application. Binocular uncorrected defocus curves were obtained using the LogMAR chart at 4m. The reading acuity was measured using the MNREAD application with positive and negative display polarities. The mean digital critical print size (CPS) was recorded using the MNREAD application at 40cm.
Results:
Our study reported uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity were -0.084 ± 0.079, -0.014 ± 0.078, and 0.040 ± 0.081, respectively. The mean reading acuity at three months postoperatively with positive display polarity at 60cm and 40cm was -0.115 ± 0.102 and -0.008 ± 0.083, respectively. The mean digital CPS at three months postoperatively was 0.238 ± 0.100 logMAR.
Conclusions:
Incorporating digital reading performance measurements provides additional advantages in assessing the effectiveness of bilateral diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

Efficiency of an Adsorbent Membrane in Removing as (V): Operational Paramaters.
Authors: Molina-Jacinto Mariela , Gómez-Espinosa Rosa María , ARIZMENDI-COTERO Daniel 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper studies the adsorbent efficiency of a modified polypropylene membrane, functionalized with carboxyl groups, to remove the As(V) from an aqueous solution. The carboxyl groups interact with arsenate in acid media by hydrogen bonds. Response surface methodology was used to optimize and evaluate parameters such as the initial concentration of As(V), contact time, and the membrane grafting degree. We found that the optimal working conditions of the membrane occurred at an initial concentration of 0.98 mg/L of As(V) and 11.8 hours of contact time, achieving a removal percentage of 68.4%. The adsorbent membrane is a potential alternative to removing arsenic from contaminated water.

Abstract
Background
Most respiratory microbiome studies have focused on amplicon rather than metagenomics sequencing due to high host DNA content. We evaluated efficacy of five host DNA depletion methods on previously frozen human bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), nasal swabs, and sputum prior to metagenomic sequencing.
Results
Median sequencing depth was 76.4 million reads per sample. Untreated nasal, sputum and BAL samples had 94.1%, 99.2%, and 99.7% host-reads. The effect of host depletion differed by sample type. Most treatment methods increased microbial reads, species richness and predicted functional richness; the increase in species and predicted functional richness was mediated by higher effective sequencing depth. For BAL and nasal samples, most methods did not change Morisita-Horn dissimilarity suggesting limited bias introduced by host depletion.
Conclusions
Metagenomics sequencing without host depletion will underestimate microbial diversity of most respiratory samples due to shallow effective sequencing depth and is not recommended. Optimal host depletion methods vary by sample type.
Can digital transformation foster green innovation in a "dual-carbon" vision?——Evidence from Chinese construction enterprises

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Against the backdrop of increasing global environmental pollution and energy consumption, green innovation is necessary to achieve green transformation. As an industry with a huge demand for resources and energy consumption, the construction industry shoulders the mission of the times to promote green innovation to enhance the ability of sustainable development. Digital technology provides new opportunities for green innovation in the construction industry. However, the impacts and mechanisms of digital transformation driving green innovation have not been thoroughly studied. Using a sample of companies listed in the construction industry of China between 2011 and 2021, this study presents an empirical analysis to investigate the impact and mechanism of digital transformation on green innovation within construction enterprises. The study results demonstrate that digital transformation is capable of significantly enhancing the level of green innovation within construction enterprises; Digital transformation can promote green innovation in construction enterprises through three channels, including alleviating financing constraints, improving corporate governance, and enhancing the level of corporate risk-taking; Compared to non-SOEs, SOEs have more endogenous incentives for green transformation based on multiple pressures, thus weakening the driving role of digital transformation to some extent; The driving effect of enterprises' digital transformation is more significant when the intensity of regional environmental regulation is high. This paper examines how the digitization of construction enterprises can lead to new greening ideas from the perspective of green innovation. It provides an important theoretical basis and decision-making reference to support the construction industry in its digital transformation and realize the goal of " dual carbon ".
