Cultural Impact and an Intimate Partner aggression in African Societies: A comparison of Rwanda and South Sudan
Authors: Ndoromo Owen , Banyanga Jean d’Amour 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe study investigated therole of cultural impact on South Sudanese and Rwandan women who nowadays reside in the diaspora in Finland and Belgium. It explores the cultural violence against women before and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis, and after the independency of South Sudan. This argument is presented through an analysis of existing literature and documents; and through interviews with 341 respondents (166 men and 175 women) belonging to the Rwandan diaspora in Belgium and in Finland; and 420 participants (302 females and 118 males) married, divorced, single mothers in South Sudan. The results show that women and girls in South Sudan continue to be at risk of violence from cultural impact more than Rwandan women. Poverty, education, and insecurity play a huge role in promoting aggression against South Sudanese women.

Published: August 2023

SummaryA patient diagnosed with late-presenting HIV infection [CD4 count 86 cells/mm3, viral load (VL) 95 000 copies RNA/mL], treated with DRV/c 800/150 mg (Rezolsta®) and TDF/FTC 200/245 mg, was hospitalized with ischemic brain stroke, confirmed by CT scan and MRI. Motor functions quickly recovered, but nausea, abdominal heaviness, ascites, and hepatosplenomegaly appeared. Laboratory investigations revealed anaemia, thrombocytopenia, normal transaminases, increased GGT and negative serological tests for HBV and HCV and she was diagnosed with Gastroenterologists diagnosed liver cirrhosis. After 20 days of hospital treatment, the patient recovered from the stroke and ascites but with persisting anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Liver cirrhosis had been confirmed, and relevant treatment had been administered. Six months later, an MRI of the brain revealed an improved image. Follow-up showed stabilized somatic and neurologic status, improved laboratory parameters, stable T-helper count and undetectable viral load (VL). ART regimen continued with Raltegravir 400 mg (Isentress®) 2×1 tablet/24 h, TDF/FTC 200/245 mg 1 tablet/24 h. Three months later, the patient continued her treatment continued abroad. The increased access to precise diagnosis and treatment with improved adherence has transformed the HIV-infection into a manageable chronic health condition, even in complicated cases.
COVID-19: A Possible Cause of Spontaneous Pneumoperitoneum
Authors: Ramos Patrícia Varela , Oliveira Ana Maria , Simas Ângela , Rocha Vera Cruz Margarida 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Introduction
Pneumoperitoneum is the presence of air within the peritoneal cavity and is mostly caused by organ rupture. Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum accounts 5% to 15% of the cases and occurs in the absence of organ damage. The pulmonary origin of pneumoperitoneum is unusual, and probably associated with mechanical ventilation and alveolar leak. In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) there are some reports of air leak, like pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema.

Case presentation
We present the case of a 70-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Since admission he was on Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV), without improvement, needing Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) due to severe respiratory failure. Five days after IMV despite protective lung ventilation, massive spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum were diagnosed. Besides initial conservative management 12 hours later, the patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome requiring percutaneous needle decompression.

Conclusions
Pneumoperitoneum can be considered a rare complication of COVID-19 pneumonia and its management, resulting not only from the viral pulmonary but also from secondary causes. Conservative management should be usually enough. However, in the presence of abdominal compartment syndrome prompt recognition and treatment are crucial and eventually lifesaving.
Thermal regime of the Danube Delta and the adjacent lakes
Authors: Vyshnevskyi Viktor , Shevchuk Serhii 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The Danube Delta is a unique natural object influenced by natural and human factors. According to the available observation and remote sensing data, the features of the water temperature in the Danube Delta, as well as in nearby lakes and the adjacent area of the Black Sea, have been determined. The water temperature in the Danube River was found to be much higher than the air temperature, especially in autumn. Generally, it is also higher than in nearby lakes and the adjacent part of the Black Sea. During 1961–2021 the mean annual water temperature in the Danube Delta increased significantly, especially during the last three decades. It has been determined that water temperature is affected not only by air temperature, but also by water discharge and wind. With a large water discharge the mixing of water is intensified and it causes the decrease of surface water temperature during the main part of the year with the exception of the coldest months. The greatest impact of water discharge on the water temperature is observed in June. The cool breeze in summer months also has some effect on the surface water temperature of the river near the seashore. The results show the potential of remote sensing to track the changes of water temperature along the river and to identify the shallow sections.
Dance Technique and Power Dynamics in Higher Education: A Literature Review
Authors: Rothmund Irene Velten 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSince the turn of the millennium, there has been a heightened emphasis on the quality of teaching and learning in higher education, with an urge to reform the relationship between teachers and students. During this same period, a growing body of research has been conducted on unequal power dynamics in the teaching of dance technique. In this study, I am doing a literature review of 20 articles published between 1998 and 2020, which especially addressed dance technique and power dynamics in the context of higher education. I am particularly exploring strategies proposed in the literature to challenge unequal power dynamics within dance technique training in higher education. Through a thematic analysis of the articles, I have identified three clusters of strategies in the material:reflexivity of traditions in dance, activity, andembodiment. The research shows that there is a rather high interest in continuing and reforming the teaching of dance technique, and that there are several examples of empirical research related to heightening the students’ activity in their learning process. However, there is still a need for more research on this topic, especially concerning the connection between embodiment and empowerment.
Unfolding Microgravity and the Interplay Between Awe, Wonder, Curiosity, and Humility in Artistic Research
Authors: Wrobel Esther 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article discusses how the term ‘curiosity’ emerged as a leading element in the development of the action performance research project Microgravity. The focus is on the effect of curiosity as an activator of movement in a participatory performance in which participants are invited to explore new bodily conditions for the first time (in this case, reduced gravity through a vertical dance technique). I begin with an account of what vertical dance is, its origin, and my personal experience as a vertical dancer. Through the connection between vertical dance and space exploration and an encounter with the terms ‘awe’ and ‘wonder’ (in connection to space travel), I move on to pedagogical and creative decisions regarding ways to create a participatory performance that, due to its complete physical involvement of participants, I now refer to as an ‘action performance’. I will elaborate on the creative partners who joined the research and the interplay of curiosity and humility in relation to the terms ‘awe’ and ‘wonder’ based on the book A Neurophenomenology of Awe and Wonder (Gallagher et al. 2015), which was the initial inspiration for the use of these terms and the establishment of the imaginary universe of Microgravity. I will also employ my own interpretation of these terms as a researcher, drawing on first-hand participatory experiments and data gathered from participants between 2019 and 2022.
On the Expected ℒ2–Discrepancy of Jittered Sampling
Authors: Kirk Nathan , Pausinger Florian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
For m, d ∈ ℕ, a jittered sample of N = m
d points can be constructed by partitioning [0, 1]d into m
d axis-aligned equivolume boxes and placing one point independently and uniformly at random inside each box. We utilise a formula for the expected ℒ2−discrepancy of stratified samples stemming from general equivolume partitions of [0, 1]d which recently appeared, to derive a closed form expression for the expected ℒ2−discrepancy of a jittered point set for any m, d ∈ ℕ. As a second main result we derive a similar formula for the expected Hickernell ℒ2−discrepancy of a jittered point set which also takes all projections of the point set to lower dimensional faces of the unit cube into account.
Accuracy of serration pattern analysis by direct immunofluorescence in subepidermal autoimmune blistering diseases
Authors: Sood Ridhi , Chatterjee Debajyoti , De Dipankar , Nahar Saikia Uma , Mahajan Rahul , Handa Sanjeev , Dass Radotra Bishan 
Published: August 2023

Background
Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is essential for the diagnosis of sub-epidermal immunobullous diseases (SIBD). Bullous pemphigoid (BP), a sub-epidermal immunobullous disease, shows linear IgG and C3 deposition along the dermo-epidermal junction by DIF. However, similar histological and DIF findings are also seen in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). High-power examination of antibody deposition by DIF in a “u” or “n” serrated pattern can help differentiate these two entities.

Aims/Objectives
The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of serration patterns in IgG-mediated sub-epidermal immunobullous disease.

Methods
All cases of IgG-mediated sub-epidermal immunobullous disease diagnosed over the past 2 years and 9 months period and confirmed serologically, were included. Examination of the serration pattern in DIF was assessed on oil emersion. Salt split skin indirect immunofluorescence (SSS IIF), BP180 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), profile ELISA and BIOCHIP mosaic were performed, wherever available.

Results
This study included 74 cases of bullous pemphigoid, eight cases of mucus membrane pemphigoid (MMP) and one case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. The characteristic zigzag “n” pattern was visualised in 66 out of 82 cases (80.5%) of the pemphigoid group (BP + MMP); the single epidermolysis bullosa acquisita case showed the “u” serrated pattern. No statistical correlation was seen between serration pattern and BP180 positivity by ELISA (P = 0.05).

Limitations
The study is limited by the single case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (which could be due to rarity of this disease in north Indian population due to genetic variation), lack of detailed serological investigations and immunoblot in all cases.

Conclusion
Serration pattern analysis is an easy-to-interpret and highly useful technique for characterisation of sub-epidermal immunobullous diseases.

Published: August 2023

There has been an increase in the use of the TGT learning model in physical education, but the lack of TGT research which is associated with enjoyment and basic technical in handball is a gap in research. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of using TGT in improving student-athlete enjoyment and basic techniques. This study applied the true experiment method. The participants were student-athletes from junior high school 46 Palembang (n=30). Physical education classes was conducted in experimental group through TGT, while the control group received conventional PE. The results showed that there were no differences in the value of enjoyment and basic techniques in the experimental and control groups before the experiment, but there were differences after the experiment. Based on the Paired sample t-test it was proven that after teaching handball for 4 weeks through TGT, student-athlete enjoyment and basic techniques increased significantly, but the experimental group had a much larger mean value. Thus, it can be concluded that TGT was an effective method for physical education teacher to create enjoyment and improve basic techniques in handball. Future research needs to be carried out such as testing the effects of TGT using mixed methods research.

ISSUES OF GUARANTEES OF THE PRINCIPLE OF PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE IN RUSSIAN LAW
Authors: Skivterist Andrey 
Published: August 2023

It should be noted that the principle under consideration is of an intersectoral nature, which implies its effect in those branches of law in which the process of establishing the guilt of a person who has committed a crime or offense is carried out.
The author notes that the universality of the principle of presumption of innocence suggests that today it is no longer possible to imagine a full-fledged criminal justice system without the presence and guaranteed operation of the principle in question. The presumption of innocence is a social and legal value, in this regard, the provision of this principle is guaranteed by the norms of various branches of law, and, if necessary, is also provided by measures of legal responsibility.

Background Men of African ancestry experience higher burden from prostate cancer compared to men of other ancestral backgrounds. Limitations in the availability of high-quality biospecimens hinder the inclusion of this population in genetic studies of prostate cancer. The use of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent a potential rich source of genetic material particularly in some international settings, where fresh frozen tissue is difficult to obtain. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using FFPE biospecimens acquired from various international sites for utility in next-generation sequencing. Methods A total of 976 FFPE blocks were collected between 2002 and 2017 from six international sites in Africa and the Caribbean representing three consortia: Prostate Cancer Transatlantic Consortium; African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium; and Men of African Descent and Carcinoma of the Prostate. Genomic DNA was checked for quality and quantity. Differences in mean quality control (QC) for pre-and-post pathology training were assessed using t-test. Pearson chi-square with trend analysis examined association between time-category and QC success status. Association of continuous DNA quality (Q129/Q41 ratio) and time of specimen collection was estimated with linear regression. Samples with a DNA quantity >0.2µg and a Q129/Q41 ratio >0.00225 were submitted for whole exome sequencing (WES). Results There was a positive relative percentage change in DNA quantity from 2002 to 2017 for Jamaica, Kenya and Senegal. There was a decline in DNA quantity over the same time period for Nigeria. There was a statistically significant improvement in quality of samples from Kenya (P=0.032), Nigeria (P<.001) and Senegal (P=0.043). There was a significant improvement in the collected DNA sample quality over time with an R2 of 0.12. Conclusions FFPE samples from low-resource settings could potentially provide sufficient DNA for WES. Improvements in biospecimen collection processing and storage for research are needed in some of these settings.

Published: August 2023

Background: Globally, 5.1 - 37.5 % of mothers suffer from anxiety during pregnancy due to adaptation problems. Childbirth education could enhance knowledge and skills to help mothers prepares to cope with adaptation. However, in Indonesia, the manner program provided following nursing theory as a framework has been absent.
Objective: To test the effectiveness of childbirth education program based on Roy's Adaptation Model on maternal anxiety
Methods: A randomized controlled trial using a computer random allocation block to allocate participants from five health centers in Yogyakarta has been performed. Pregnant women in the experimental group received a modified childbirth education program in four consecutive weeks comprised of lecturing, counseling, brainstorming, and practicing some essential skills for cope adaptation. A self-developed questionnaire was used to assess the demographic data set, Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised was completed to measure the maternal anxiety during pregnancy. An independent t-test and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data.
Results: A total of 87 pregnant women were analyzed (experimental, n= 52, control, n=35), with a mean age of 23. 92 (SD = 1.89), and 29.14 (SD = 2.10), respectively. After the intervention, the score of maternal anxiety had significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group (p < .001). In the T-test analysis, the demographic variables were not related to maternal anxiety.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, a modified childbirth education program focus on adaptation change based on nursing theory was effective to decrease maternal anxiety during pregnancy. However, what the participant perceived in the prenatal education program is one of the salient limitations in this study.
