Authors: Siy Hantz Filbert C. , Pacia Edwin Michael Joy B. , Ong Allan O. , Ong-Lingan Maria , Rosales Pochollo P. 
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND
Intracranial dural metastasis causing subdural hematoma formation is a rare clinical entity associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A 61-year-old female patient known to have rectal signet ring cell carcinoma presented with cranial computed tomography scan findings of bilateral subdural hematoma. She underwent evacuation of the hematoma with dural biopsy, which showed tumor emboli consistent with colorectal origin. There was an early recurrence of the subdural collection, and an emergency subdural-peritoneal shunt insertion was done; however, there was no sustained clinical improvement. This work reports the first case of rectal dural metastasis presenting as chronic subdural hematoma and discusses the clinical course and current literature.

OBSERVATIONS
The cases described in these studies are consistent with the clinical course of our patient; that is, evacuation of the subdural hematoma provided temporary clinical improvement and re-accumulation occurred within 3 days.

LESSONS
The authors recommend maintaining a high index of suspicion in this select group of patients, including prompt discussion about treatment plans with the patient’s family.

"It's a hearing world" : parents' perspectives of the social and emotional well-being of children who are deaf and hard of hearing
Authors: Cagulada Elaine (Queenie) 
Published: May 2023

<p>Children with disabilities are known to experience bullying. This study explores parents’ perspectives of the social and emotional well-being of children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH). A combination of social theories guided this research — the social model of disability, the ‘looking glass self’ theory, and the concept of bi-directionality. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 hearing, English-speaking parents of children with hearing loss. All parents voiced instances, based on their observations, where their children have had negative social experiences. Specific analyses of these experiences provided evidence of parental and child activities where threats of rejection and exclusion were minimized. As a result of previous experiences, children showed adaptive responses in order to avoid social situations that threaten their social and emotional well-being. Future implications for this research suggest that we prioritize the social and emotional well-being of children with disabilities, perhaps starting by creating conditions wherein these children are able to build friendships. </p>

The complex socio-ecological landscape in Latin America: Transdisciplinary knowledge production to address diversity
Authors: Mons Steven , León Rodríguez Nohra 
Published: May 2023

We start this article by seeking analogies between the cultural landscape and socio-ecological system concepts. Whereas the former has played a pivotal role in geographical research since its introduction in the nineteenth century, the latter has only recently become popular in inter- and transdisciplinary science. The results of this theoretical and conceptual endeavour are used to build a distinctive analytical category: the ‘complex socio-ecological landscape’. We then apply this novel concept to the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. In doing so, we demonstrate that this landscape in fact exhibits complex adaptive behaviour. We end the article with an analysis of the Cañamomo-Lomaprieta indigenous reservation in the north of the Coffee Cultural Landscape. Participatory mechanisms of transdisciplinary knowledge production have stimulated the emergence of an ancestral governance system in Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, which has reduced the vulnerability of its socio-ecological systems to the effects of small-scale gold mining activities. This case provides important insights into how to stimulate transdisciplinarity in other complex socio-ecological landscapes in Latin America that bear the brunt of extractive activities. Resumen: ‘Paisaje socioecológico complejo’ en Latinoamérica: Conocimiento transdisciplinario para tratar la diversidad Comenzamos este artículo buscando analogías entre los conceptos de paisaje cultural y sistema socioecológico. Mientras que el primero ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en la investigación geográfica desde su introducción en el siglo XIX, el segundo se ha hecho popular solo recientemente en la ciencia inter y transdisciplinaria. Los resultados de este esfuerzo teórico y conceptual se utilizan para construir una categoría analítica distintiva: el ‘paisaje socioecológico complejo’. Luego aplicamos este novedoso concepto al Paisaje Cultural Cafetero de Colombia, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2011. Mostramos que este paisaje efectivamente exhibe un comportamiento adaptativo complejo. Finalizamos el artículo con un análisis del resguardo indígena Cañamomo-Lomaprieta en el norte de este paisaje. Mecanismos participativos de producción de conocimiento transdisciplinario han estimulado el surgimiento de un sistema de gobernanza ancestral en Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, lo que ha reducido la vulnerabilidad de sus sistemas socioecológicos ante los efectos de las actividades de minería aurífera a pequeña escala. Este caso permite comprender cómo se puede estimular la transdisciplinariedad en otros paisajes socioecológicos complejos en América Latina afectados por actividades extractivas.
Transitions to captured democracy: The 1998 Costa Rican election as a critical juncture
Authors: Lioy Alberto 
Published: May 2023

While Costa Rica has retained democratic stability, it has transitioned from high-turnout bipartidism to lower participation within a multi-party system. This paper analyzes the transformative 1994-1998 legislature, its antecedents, and its consequences. It, therefore, explores a political watershed where electoral participation falls dramatically under a stable party system with no authoritarian transition, labelled here as captured democracy. Methodologically, this work performed qualitative coding of media sources to trace how focusing events changed the national political context. Finally, it shows how the simultaneous weakening of the main parties Unidad and Liberación, a bipartisan pact, and several corruption scandals transformed Costa Rican democracy.
Resumen: Transiciones a una democracia cautiva: Las elecciones en Costa Rica de 1998 como coyuntura crítica
Aunque Costa Rica ha conservado la estabilidad democrática, ha pasado de un bipartidismo de alta participación a una participación menor dentro de un sistema multipartidista. Este artículo analiza la transformadora legislatura de 1994-1998, sus antecedentes y sus consecuencias. Explora, por tanto, una línea divisoria de aguas políticas en la que la participación electoral cayó drásticamente bajo un sistema de partidos estable y sin transición autoritaria, etiquetado aquí como democracia cautiva. Metodológicamente, este trabajo realiza una codificación cualitativa de las fuentes de los medios de comunicación para rastrear cómo centrándose en los acontecimientos cambia el contexto político nacional. Finalmente, se muestra cómo el debilitamiento simultáneo de los principales partidos Unidad y Liberación, un pacto bipartidista y varios escándalos de corrupción transformaron la democracia costarricense.

Published: May 2023

In order to realize optimum plant population for profitable maize production, there is to obtain uniform plant spacing. The objective of this study was, therefore, to determine certain planting parameters that influence uniformity in plant-to-plant and row-to-row spacing. To achieve this, a 4-row animal-drawn planter was used to plant SAMMAZ 14 maize variety in the Experimental Farm of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Treatment factors varied were hopper seed quantity with three levels: 25, 50 and 100 %, three levels of ground speed: 0.6, 0.8, and 1 m/s, and two levels of planting depth: 1.5 and 2.5 cm. Results obtained shows that the multiple index, miss index, feed index and precision index were seen to be affected by planting speed with the best multiple, miss and precision index were achieved at planting speed of 0.8 m/s except for feed index whose best value was achieved at 1 m/s. Similarly, multiple and precision index were both affected by seed hopper quantity but no effect on Miss and Feed index. It was also observed that the best mean values were obtained at 100 % seed hopper quantity. All the indexes were never affected by planting depth while the performance of the planter on seed uniformity indexes improve with moderate planting speed and increasing seed quantity in the hopper. Therefore, planting at 0.8 m/s planting speed and 100 % seed hopper full result in uniform crop establishment for a profitable crop production.

Published: May 2023

Material and methods. The article presents the data of a histological study of biopsy material at the site of implantation of the thread, thread and the use of the IPL system on days 14th, 35th. Paraffin sections 5–7 μm thick were made from ready-made paraffin blocks and stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method. Using a microscope with a Sony digital photo attachment, 12-megapixel resolution, five photographs were obtained from each histological preparation. Microphotographs using the ImageView, Image Tool 2.00 (GistMorph) programs were used to evaluate the inflammatory response, evaluate the cellular composition, evaluate collagen and elastic fibers, and identify the percentage of collagen type.Research results. In the biopsy specimen from the site of the implanted thread and IPL technology (Palomar, nozzle 1540, parameters 15, 60, three passes each), when examining histological slides stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method, the presence of elastic fibers was revealed, both in the thickness of the dermis and in connective tissue layers of subcutaneous fat. The relative area of elastic fibers in the dermis averaged 13.28 % (min 8.50 %, max 15.50 %). The relative area of elastic fibers in the subcutaneous adipose tissue averaged 2.28 % (min 1.30 %, max 4.80 %). In the biopsy specimen from the site of the implanted thread, the study of histological slides stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method revealed the presence of elastic fibers, both in the thickness of the dermis and in the connective tissue layers of the subcutaneous fat. The relative area of elastic fibers in the dermis averaged 13.16 (min 9.70 %, max 15.00 %). The relative area of elastic fibers in the subcutaneous adipose tissue averaged 14.98 % (min 12.20 %, max 16.70 %).Conclusions. Thus, the study of samples revealed the predominance of type I collagen both in the skin and subcutaneous fat, however, it was less pronounced than with the combined method (implanted thread and IPL technology).

IntroductionThis study evaluated whether post in vitro capacitation changes in sperm could be used to estimate field fertility differences between bulls.MethodsFrozen-thawed semen from five bulls (two to four ejaculates per bull) previously identified as high (48.1% and 47.7%), intermediary (45.5%) or low (40.7% and 43.1%) fertility, based on pregnancy per AI (P/AI), were evaluated for total and progressive motility, sperm plasma membrane integrity (viability), acrosome integrity (viable sperm with an intact or disrupted acrosome), reactive oxygen species (ROS; viable sperm ROS+ or ROS-), mitochondrial membrane energy potential, zinc signatures (signatures 1-to-4) and CD9 protein populations at pre-wash and post-wash (only total and progressive motility), h0 (diluted with non-capacitation media), and at h0, h0 CM, h3, h6, and h24 after dilution with capacitation media (CM) and incubation at 37ºC. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure as repeated measures in SAS with bull, time and the interaction as fixed effects.ResultsBull by time interaction was significant (P≤0.03) for total motility, viability, viable sperm with disrupted acrosome, and zinc signature 3. There tended (P=0.06) to be a bull by time interaction for zinc signatures 1+2 combined. Time was significant (P≤0.003) in all analyses, except viable ROS- (P=0.12). There was a significant effect of bull (P≤ 0.03) for viability, viable sperm with disrupted acrosome, zinc signatures 1, 2 and 1+2, viable CD9- and dead CD9+. High and intermediary fertility bulls had greater (P≤0.04) percentages of viable sperm, zinc signature 2 and zinc signature 1+2 compared to low fertility bulls. High and intermediary fertility bulls had decreased (P≤0.05) percentage of dead CD9+ compared to low fertility bulls. Viable CD9+ differed (P=0.02) and viable sperm with an intact acrosome and viable CD9+ tended to differ (P=0.06) amongst bulls; however, association with field fertility was not observed. There was a positive correlation between P/AI and zinc signature 2 (P=0.04), and there tended to be a positive correlation between P/AI and viability (P=0.10), and zinc signature 1+2 (P=0.10).DiscussionIn summary, incubation of sperm in CM and flow cytometry analyses for viability, zinc signatures 2 and 1+2, and dead CD9+ seems promising to estimate in vivo fertility differences amongst bulls.
Tailoring the HHx monomer content of P(HB-co-HHx) by flexible substrate compositions: scale-up from deep-well-plates to laboratory bioreactor cultivations

Published: May 2023

The enhanced material properties exhibited by the microbially synthetized polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(HB-co-HHx)] evidence that this naturally biodegrading biopolymer could replace various functionalities of established petrochemical plastics. In fact, the thermal processability, toughness and degradation rate of P(HB-co-HHx) can be tuned by modulating its HHx molar content enabling to manufacture polymers à-la-carte. We have developed a simple batch strategy to precisely control the HHx content of P(HB-co-HHx) to obtain tailor-made PHAs with defined properties. By adjusting the ratio of fructose to canola oil as substrates for the cultivation of recombinant Ralstonia eutropha Re2058/pCB113, the molar fraction of HHx in P(HB-co-HHx) could be adjusted within a range of 2–17 mol% without compromising polymer yields. The chosen strategy proved to be robust from the mL-scale in deep-well-plates to 1-L batch bioreactor cultivations.
