Abstract
A wealth of observations have long suggested that the vast majority of isolated classical dwarf galaxies (M
* = 107–109
M
⊙) are currently star forming. However, recent observations of the large abundance of “ultra-diffuse galaxies” beyond the reach of previous large spectroscopic surveys suggest that our understanding of the dwarf galaxy population may be incomplete. Here we report the serendipitous discovery of an isolated quiescent dwarf galaxy in the nearby Universe, which was imaged as part of the JWST PEARLS Guaranteed Time Observation program. Remarkably, individual red-giant branch stars are visible in this near-IR imaging, suggesting a distance of 30 ± 4 Mpc, and a wealth of archival photometry point to an sSFR of 2 × 10−11 yr−1 and star formation rate of 4 × 10−4
M
⊙ yr−1. Spectra obtained with the Lowell Discovery Telescope find a recessional velocity consistent with the Hubble Flow and >1500 km s−1 separated from the nearest massive galaxy in Sloan Digital Sky Survey suggesting that this galaxy was either quenched from internal mechanisms or had a very high-velocity (≳1000 km s−1) interaction with a nearby massive galaxy in the past. This analysis highlights the possibility that many nearby quiescent dwarf galaxies are waiting to be discovered and that JWST has the potential to resolve them.

Published: January 2024

BackgroundCompared with elective operations, emergency abdominal surgery is more likely to result in perioperative morbidity and mortality. Implementation of care programs could be beneficial for such patients to decrease complication rates. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a complex perioperative approach that has proven its efficacy in multiple elective procedures. Nonetheless, its efficacy in emergency abdominal surgery has been questioned. Herein, we compared the ERAS and conventional approaches in the management of such patients.Patients and methodsSixty adult patients were enrolled in our randomized prospective trial, and they were assigned to two groups; the conventional and ERAS groups. The duration of hospitalization was the main outcome.ResultsPreoperative characteristics, presentation, and surgical operations were comparable between the two study groups. A perforated duodenal ulcer was the most common diagnosis and was treated by through and through suture with the omental patch (36%) followed by resection anastomosis (36%) in patients with ischemic loop or patients with severely injured loops, and primary repair in simple injury (28%). The hospitalization period decreased significantly in ERAS patients (5.9 vs. 10.5 days in the conventional groupP<0.001). The ERAS protocol had a significant beneficial impact on postoperative recovery, which manifested in earlier nasogastric tube removal, drain removal, bowel sounds, bowel motion, and oral intake compared with the conventional group. The incidence of postoperative complications especially surgical site infection increased significantly with the conventional perioperative regimen (36.7% vs. 13.3% after ERASP=0.034).ConclusionERAS has multiple advantages over the conventional approach when implemented in emergency surgery patients and is recommended in emergency surgical practice.
Impact of anterior component separation technique on lowering the incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence and incisional hernia after emergent laparotomy: a feasibility study
Authors: Aziz Mahmoud A. , Elghrieb Ahmed , Abdu Mohamed E. , Mahmoud Mohamed M. 
Published: January 2024

Introduction
Abdominal wall dehiscence is one of the critical postoperative complications following abdominal surgeries. Emergency surgery highly contributes to the incidence of a burst abdomen due to a lack of proper preoperative preparation and the presence of intraabdominal sepsis. Anterior component separation was primarily evolved in abdominal wall reconstruction in the open abdomen and huge ventral hernia repair.

Methods
This prospective study included 50 patients operated by midline laparotomy for non-traumatic abdominal emergencies. Anterior component separation technique was randomly applied in 25 patients before laparotomy closure, the other 25 patients were closed using the traditional midline closure method. Preoperative patient’s demographics, operative time, and different postoperative complications were reported. Incidence of burst abdomen in both groups was reported.

Results
Preoperative patient’s demographic data showed no significant difference between both groups; the mean age of the patients was 53.69±7.34. Operative time was significantly longer in the Anterior Components Separation (ACS) group (P<0.001). The incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence after ACS technique (4.3%) was significantly less than after traditional technique (24%). Postoperative seroma and hematoma were the common postoperative complications after ACS however the incidence was not statistically significant. Incisional hernia was detected in (13.04%) in ACS group and in (32%) in traditional group.

Conclusion
Application of ACS technique during laparotomy closure in abdominal emergencies seems to lower the incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence with no increase in different postoperative complications.

Background
Laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard approach for almost all abdominal surgeries with subsequent increase of its related complications mainly trocar-site hernia.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nasr fascial closure, time needed to close the trocar site and occurrence of bleeding or other postoperative complications. We included patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in General Surgery Department, Aswan University Hospital.

Results
One hundred seventy patients were included in our study. Most of participants were females representing 94.1% of patients. The mean age of participants was 40.9±9.7 years and the median (interquartile range) total time for the complete closure of the port site was 63.0 s (76.8 s). After the follow-up period of 12–15 months, no patient developed trocar-site hernia.

Conclusion
Nasr device provides a safe, fast and effective technique for closure of laparoscopic port sites.

Purpose
Gastrointestinal leakage is one of the most detrimental and life-threatening complications that may occur after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We evaluated the incidence, predictive factors, management strategies, and outcomes of gastrointestinal leakage following gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a high-volume center over a 10-year period and the impact of prospective continuous monitoring of management outcomes.

Patients and methods
A total of 7098 patients who underwent curative radical gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma from January 2012 to December 2021 in Gastrointestinal Surgery Department, Seoul National University Hospital were reviewed.

Results
The overall incidence of gastrointestinal leakage was 2.8% (198/7098). Old age (>60), male sex, high BMI (≥25), prolonged operative time (>240 min), open approach, and increased lymph node ratio (>5%) were important risk factors for anastomotic leakage following gastrectomy on multivariate analysis. Leakage increased postoperative hospital stay by fivefolds and was responsible for 20.5% of major complications after gastrectomy. Interventional management was performed in 76.8% of leakage cases while surgery was required in 9.6% of cases with success of initial treatment in 83.8% of patients. Mortality rate was 1.5% (3/198).

Conclusion
Prospective, transparent, and accurate data collection is an essential component of self-improvement cycle. Surgeon experience is an important factor especially in esophagojejunal anastomosis with tension free well vascularized pedicle is the key. Multidisciplinary team management of leakage with efficient interventional strategies can greatly improve the leakage outcome.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT.
Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are major public health burdens in tropical nations, including Nigeria. This study assessed mosquito larval species composition, abundance, and abiotic factors influencing mosquito breeding in slum communities of Lagos with the goal of informing MBD control measures. Three slum communities—Bariga, Makoko, and Ajegunle—were selected along with the nonslum community of Ikeja, which served as a control site. Larval sampling was done using the standard dipping technique between December 2021 and July 2022 across the dry and wet seasons. Mosquito larvae were raised to adults and identified using morphological keys and molecular assays. A total of 57,753 immature mosquitoes were collected from all study sites, with a significantly (P < 0.05) greater abundance in the dry season than the wet season. The majority (98.1%) of the mosquitoes collected belonged to Culex pipiens s.l., the only species found during the dry season in almost all locations. In the wet season, species identified from all sites combined were Anopheles gambiae ss., Anopheles arabiensis, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Cx. pipiens s.l., and Lutzia tigripes, with Ajegunle having the greatest species diversity (H = 0.593). Among physicochemical parameters measured, only water temperature had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.934, P = 0.020) with larval densities in Ajegunle only. Permanent mosquito-breeding habitats had significantly greater larval densities than temporary habitats within the slum communities. These findings could inform the development of integrated vector control strategies that address the different species of mosquitoes in the fight against MBDs in urban slums.

Das Nachleben zu Lebzeiten gestalten. Dokumentation als Versprechen und Verfahren in literarischen Formaten des 20. Jahrhunderts. »Nachleben im Arbeitsmaterial« wirft einen neuen Blick auf die Geschichte dokumentarischer Kunstformen. Ausgehend von bibliothekarischen und archivarischen Überlegungen um 1900 zeichnet Lucas Knierzinger die moderne Faszination für das Dokumentarische und ihre literarischen Auswirkungen nach. Dokumentieren stellt um 1900 eine Kulturtechnik dar, die mit Vorstellungen und Träumen der Organisierbarkeit im modernen Informationsüberfluss auftritt. Als literarische Verfahren verknüpft sie sich mit neuen Ideen von künstlerischer Arbeit und Formaten eines Werkes. In drei Fallstudien folgt Lucas Knierzinger dem Verhältnis von Dokumentation und Format, durch welches ein Nachleben entlang von Arbeitsmaterialien entworfen wird: in den Modellbüchern Bertolt Brechts, in den Notizbüchern von Peter Weiss und den vielfältigen Formaten, in denen Heiner Müller seine Gesprächsaufzeichnungen verarbeitet. Eröffnet wird damit eine Geschichte der Dokumentation im 20. Jahrhundert, die neuartige Vorstellungen literarischen Arbeitens und des Nachlebens von künstlerischen Werken aushandelt.

Authors: Suryani Anih Sri 
Published: January 2024

South Sumatera Province, with Palembang as its capital, was formerly an area with abundant water resources due to the many rivers that cross the region. But now the area is often lacking clean water because of the declining capacity of the environment and pollution of the river. This paper aims to examine the water quality of the river in Palembang linked to the health of the community, and also to find out the perception of the people who live along the rivers in the utilization of clean water. Quantitative methods used by distributing questionnaires to people living along the rivers in Palembang. Results of some research from various sources and papers showed that the pollution level in the Musi River and some tributaries have caused declining potential of clean water in the area. Another effect is the reduced level of public health with a variety of environmentbased diseases. Results of the questionnaire showed that the river water is no longer worthy of use as a source of clean water, either as a source of drinking, cooking, or washing perceived people. The community considers that improving the quality of the river and community participation in the management of the river is a thing that needs to be done. Provinsi Sumatera Selatan dengan ibukota provinsinya Palembang semula adalah daerah dengan sumber air yang melimpah karena banyaknya sungai yang melintasi wilayah tersebut. Namun kini daerah tersebut kerap mengalami kesulitan air bersih karena menurunnya daya dukung lingkungan dan pencemaran sungai. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menelaah kualitas air sungai di Palembang dihubungkan dengan derajat kesehatan masyarakat, dan juga untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat yang tinggal di pinggir sungai dalam pemanfaatan air bersih. Metoda kuantitatif dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada masyarakat yang tinggal di pinggir sungai di Palembang. Hasil telaahan dari berbagai sumber menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pencemaran di Sungai Musi dan beberapa anak sungainya telah menyebabkan potensi air bersih di daerah tersebut berkurang. Dampak lainnya adalah menurunnya derajat kesehatan masyarakat dengan timbulnya berbagai penyakit berbasis lingkungan. Hasil kuesioner menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat mempersepsikan air sungai sudah tidak layak lagi digunakan sebagai sumber air bersih, baik itu sebagai sumber air minum, memasak, mencuci dan sebagainya. Masyarakat menganggap bahwa perbaikan kualitas sungai dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sungai adalah hal yang perlu di dilakukan.

Authors: Winurini Sulis 
Published: January 2024

Moral intelligence is considered as primary intelligence because it directs other intelligence to do something useful and valuable. Lennick and Kiel is one of who developed the concept of moral intelligence and created Moral Competency Inventory (MCI). MCI was originally intended to measure morality within the scope of the organization, but many studies using MCI to measure the morality of teenagers. In Indonesia, the use of MCI against teenagers have not seen, especially the adaptation. The questions in this research is how the test results of MCI instruments is and how is the measurements result against teenagers. To answer this question, quantitative methods research, ie by testing the validity and reliability of MCI through statistical formulas. Research conducted on 143 adolescents in Bali with a background in Islamic education. The results show that the MCI valid and reliable with an alpha coefficient of 0.894. In general, respondents have moral intelligence level average. Only a small proportion of respondents who have a very high level of moral intelligence and, conversely, low. Judging from sex, each has a moral intelligence level is average, as do when seen from their age and origin of school. Kecerdasan moral dianggap sebagai kecerdasan utama karena mengarahkan kecerdasan lainnya untuk melakukan sesuatu yang bermanfaat dan bernilai. Lennick dan Kiel adalah salah satu yang mengembangkan konsep kecerdasan moral dan menciptakan Moral Competency Inventory (MCI). Pada awalnya MCI ditujukan untuk mengukur moralitas dalam lingkup organisasi, namun banyak penelitian menggunakan MCI untuk mengukur moralitas terhadap remaja. Di Indonesia, penggunaan MCI terhadap remaja belum terlihat, terlebih adaptasinya. Pertanyaan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana hasil uji coba instrumen MCI dan bagaimana hasil pengukurannya terhadap remaja. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini, peneliti menggunakan metode kuantitatif, yaitu dengan menguji kesahihan dan keterandalan MCI melalui rumus statistika. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 143 remaja di Bali dengan latar belakang pendidikan Islam. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa MCI valid dan reliabel dengan koefisien alpha sebesar 0.894. Pada umumnya responden memiliki level kecerdasan moral rata-rata. Hanya sebagian kecil responden yang memiliki level kecerdasan moral sangat tinggi dan, sebaliknya, rendah. Ditinjau dari jenis kelamin, masing-masing memiliki level kecerdasan moral rata-rata, begitupun halnya apabila dilihat dari usia dan asal sekolah.
