Authors: Oka Chihiro , Miyake Yohei , Tateishi Kensuke , Kawabata Yusuke , Iwashita Hiromichi , Yamamoto Tetsuya 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Brain metastases with hematoma are clinically important as they indicate the potential for rapid neurological deterioration. Non-uterine leiomyosarcoma-derived brain metastases are particularly rare, and their clinical features, including the bleeding rate, are unclear. Herein, we present a rare case of thigh leiomyosarcoma-derived brain metastasis with intratumoral hematoma and review previous case reports.

Case Description:
A 68-year-old man with a right thigh leiomyosarcoma presented with multiple brain metastases. The patient received stereotactic radiotherapy; however, he reported sudden right-sided hemiparesis. We found a right frontal irradiated lesion with intratumoral hemorrhage and performed gross total tumor resection. Histopathological examination showed highly atypical cells with prominent necrosis and hemorrhage. Abnormal thin-walled vessels were prominent within the brain tumor, and vascular endothelial growth factor was diffusely expressed immunohistopathologically. To date, 11 cases of brain metastasis from non-uterine leiomyosarcoma, including the present case, have been reported. Of note, six patients had hemorrhage. Three out of six patients presented with hemorrhage before therapeutic intervention, three cases were from residual sites after surgery or radiation.

Conclusion:
More than half the patients with non-uterine leiomyosarcoma-derived brain metastases presented with intracerebral hemorrhage. Furthermore, these patients are at risk of developing rapid neurological deterioration due to intracerebral hemorrhage.
Spontaneous acute subdural hematoma as a complication of preeclampsia. A case report and literature review
Authors: Azab Mohammed A. , Iqbal Sajid 
Published: March 2023

Background:Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a common form of intracranial bleeding that may be fatal. Trauma is a major cause, while a subset of cases may occur spontaneously. The authors of this article present a case of spontaneous ASDH in the context of preeclampsia and review similar cases in the literature to identify the prognosis.Case Description:A healthy 27-year-old woman presented in her first pregnancy which was complicated with pregnancy-induced hypertension and was sent to a provincial local maternity hospital at 37 weeks of gestation. On day 4 postpartum, the patient complained of severe headache, vomiting and blurred vision. Fundus examination showed papilledema and magnetic resonance imaging showed right acute frontoparietal subdural hematoma. The hematoma was surgically evacuated with decompressive craniotomy. Postoperatively, the patient’s symptoms improved.Conclusion:Spontaneous ASDH is a rare event in the context of preeclampsia; however, it should be considered as one of its possible complications. Research should be directed to emphasize on the possibility of spontaneous ASDH as a cause of neurological deterioration in those cases. A proper diagnosis and early intervention for these cases are crucial for both the mother and the fetus.

Authors: Faisal Andi , Hasyim Muhammad 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: In Makassar city, the coffeehouse is one of the most crowded places visited by the public from morning to night. Various elements are involved in it, such as the media, public figures, and community groups, interacting with each other to perform in a public space. Seeing the various public elements and the strategic role of the public space of Warkop that accommodate various interests, the existence of Warkop cannot be separated from the relations behind them. This article analyzes critically the various power relations that construct and shape the public space of Warkop.

Design/methodology/approach:The qualitative approach with the ethnographic method is taken as a method of research. The research data are analyzed using cultural studies to reveal the practices and power relations that shape the public space of warkop in Makassar.

Findings: The research results indicate that every element of the public has formed the public space of the warkop. The different interests and social groups that exist have created distortions between public and private interests. The warkop becomes not only a space of social and political interaction (space of politics), but also it has undergone spatial politicization (politics of space).

Research, Practical & Social implications: The results of this study have given social implications that the presence of warkop has changed the public's perspective on the role of coffee shops as a third and second space for easy interaction and exchange of interests.

Originality/value: The results of this study have contributed to the development of cultural studies on the social function of warkop as public spaces

Authors: Perdhana Mirwan Surya , Sawitri Dian Ratna , Chaerunissa Ghanis 
Published: March 2023

Theoretical framework: Mergers and acquisitions have become an important strategy used by companies to achieve certain organizational goals. However, people-organization fit issues will occur during the post-merger or post-acquisition.

Design/methodology/approach: The method used in the research was carried out using a qualitative-phenomenological approach. Choice of method contributes to M&A knowledge. Using a phenomenological approach, this study incorporates detailed nuances into our understanding of the role of leadership during M&A through an experienced perspective. Thus, a deeper descriptive exploration of the topic can be obtained.

Findings: In this study, it is stated that the success of mergers and acquisitions is influenced by the role of the leader before, during and after the merger/acquisition is carried out. This study argues that the lack of attention to the leadership aspects of M&A creates a knowledge gap, where little is known about the role of leadership during M&A, as well as its role in ensuring a favorable organizational climate for creating employee person-organizations that are appropriate to the post-M&A process.

Research, Practical & Social implications: Previous studies have stated the importance of leaders to help organizational members achieve person-organization fit. The relationship of person-organization fit after the acquisition process has also been investigated.

Originality/value: This study concludes that in general an effective leadership style in the M&A process tends to be Transformational. One of the effective leadership styles told by the informants is the leader's ability to be able to provide motivation, which is in line with one of the "4I" concepts of Transformational leadership, namely Inspirational motivation.

Supplementary Health System in Brazil: Business Model Not Threatened by Socioeconomic Crisis
Authors: Veiga Cássia Rita Pereira da , Veiga Claudimar Pereira da , Su Zhaohui 
Published: March 2023

Objective: The performance of the supplementary health system (SSS) in Brazil depends on the country's ability to generate employment and income. Yet, on the other hand, even in the face of the economic crises that have hit Brazil in recent years and, more sharply, after the Covid-19 pandemic, the SSS ended 2021 with continuous growth in the number of beneficiaries. This perspective suggests possible causes to explain this contradiction while questioning the role of the State in providing a constitutional right for Brazilians.

Theoretical framework: Brazilian health system can be divided into three segments: a public segment financed by the State (Unified Health System, SUS), a private segment, and a supplementary health segment, the latter two with public and private funding. The Supplementary Health System (SSS) represents a highly regulated area.

Design/methodology/approach: The methodology of this work followed the rigor and steps to develop a current perspective on supplementary health in Brazil. Insights from this perspective shed light on the subject of supplementary health by providing insight into existing issues, concepts and prevailing notions about health systems.

Findings: The healthcare system in Brazil is complex and combines market elements of public and social interest in a single environment. In this way, the question remains whether business models geared to the base of the economic pyramid (BoP) community have focused exclusively on making a profit by “selling to the poor” or whether they have brought a valuable commitment to social development in the country.

Research, Practical & Social implications: This question deserves attention due to the de-prioritization of health on the political agenda in an election year and the critical post-Covid-19 pandemic situation. Social policies in Brazil need to go beyond guaranteeing access to credit compensating for the lack of public provision, at the risk of mortgaging the SUS as a sign of modernity and progress.

Originality/value: This perspective suggests possible causes to explain this contradiction while questioning the role of the State in providing a constitutional right for Brazilians.
