BACKGROUND: The disease that is endemic and has become a global pandemic is COVID-19 due to reports of thousands of cases. The pandemic is weighing on intensive care units with an influx of COVID-19 patients. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary, diagnostic examinations and treatment are also experiencing dynamic developments. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, length of treatment, and nutritional status of COVID-19 patients.
METHODS: This study used a descriptive analytic cross-sectional method with inclusion criteria that were positive for COVID-19. The research data were obtained from 130 hospital medical records for the period June to August 2021. The collected data were then analyzed using SPSS.
RESULTS: The study found that men were more exposed to COVID-19 (71.5%) and 70% of patients worked as medical personnel. The age range of the majority of patients was more than 40 years (78.5%). Most of the comorbidities were hypertensive patients. Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 patients were cough (44.6%), fever (40%), flu-like symptoms (32.3%), painful swallowing (26.2%), anosmia (16.2%), shortness of breath (15.4%), nausea (14.6%), vomiting (13.8%), and diarrhea (0.9%). The average length of stay is 7–14 days (9.2%) with adequate nutritional status (14.6%). Patients with length of treatment (p = 0.01) and poor nutritional status (p =0.000) were significantly different.
CONCLUSION: The majority of COVID-19 sufferers are male, over 40 years old, with cough symptoms, and the most comorbid hypertension, as well as deaths from hypertension and the elderly. Better treatment is needed for people with COVID-19.

Objective:
We conduct a secondary analysis on the demographics, tumor characteristics, survival, and risk factors for mortality among patients with prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Methods:
This is a registry-based retrospective study that included all patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in the KSA. The data were collected from the Saudi Cancer Registry, which collects tumor data from all private, military, and health ministry hospitals in Saudi Arabia through five regional offices.

Results:
Among 3607 prostate cancer patients detected during the specified period, 209 (5.8%) had ductal adenocarcinoma. The median interquartile range age of patients was 72.0 years (64.0–78.0). Adenocarcinoma lesions were malignant among all the patients. Grade III tumors were most frequently apparent lesions (61.2%), followed by Grade II tumors (26.3%), Grade I tumors (7.2%), and Grade VI tumors (5.3%). A total of 33 patients died, representing 15.8% of the whole sample. The 1-year survival rate was 78.1%. More than a third of patients who were residing in the Western region deceased (38.0%), whereas no deaths were reported in other regions with a statistically significant difference based on regions (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first registry-based study to investigate PDA in the KSA; these efforts were done to further understand this deadly condition and to further enhance patient care in the KSA.

Réalisme magique et réalisme merveilleux : autour de quelques enjeux terminologiques depuis Alejo Carpentier
Authors: Besand Vanessa 
Published: July 2023

L’expression européenne de « réalisme magique » (1925) a été concurrencée par celle de « real maravilloso », définie par Alejo Carpentier (1949). Derrière ce changement de terminologie se cache toute une stratégie rhétorique, destinée à lier la notion au territoire américain au détriment de l’Europe. Il s’agira de s’intéresser de près à sa mise en place, en observant, à travers les ressorts davantage affectifs qu’intellectuels qui la sous-tendent, son lien à une forme d’hystérisation, mais aussi de voir comment elle a marqué durablement les approches théoriques relevant du réalisme magique.
« C’est une pie, enculé ! ». Expressions virales de l’hystérisation sur les réseaux sociaux

Published: July 2023

« C’est une pie enculé / putain de citadin de ses morts ». C’est ainsi qu’un certain Kevin est devenu célèbre malgré lui, à la suite de deux commentaires successifs sous la publication d'un groupe tout à fait banal d'entraide entre particuliers sur Facebook. Cette expressivité immédiate questionne la dimension linguistique de la liberté d'expression, dans un espace qui permet d’alimenter la maladie récemment nommée hystérisation : de l’enthousiasme aux insultes, de nombreux faits de langues nourrissent ces formes de subjectivité, à l’intérieur de l’écosystème énonciatif du discours numérique.
Satire, polémique, hystérie : Nicolas Bourbon (Nugae, 1533) et ses ennemis
Authors: Laigneau-Fontaine Sylvie 
Published: July 2023

L’humaniste Nicolas Bourbon est un membre important du réseau évangélique français, dont l’œuvre est caractérisée par une forte dimension polémique : prises à partie d’une violence extrême des « jaloux » qui envient ses succès mais, surtout, attaques ad hominem contre les ennemis des humanistes, d’Erasme en particulier, avec des arguments qui ne doivent rien à la réalité (stupidité du grand savant Diego Lópe Zúñiga, débauche du moine chartreux Pierre Cousturier) et tout à l’hystérisation de querelles qui, bientôt, devaient ne plus se régler par les mots, mais par les armes.

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA’S PEACEKEEPERS ON AFRICAN SOIL DURING COVID-19: PROCEDURES, CHALLENGES AND LESSONS
Authors: Sikimić Milica , Vujanović Bojan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Active United Nation missions on African soil are: MINURSO in Western Sahara, UNMISS in South Sudan, MINUSMA in Mali, MONUSCO in Democratic Republic of the Congo, MINUSCA in Central African Republic and UNISFA in Abyei. Peacekeeping has always been highly dynamic and has evolved in the face of new issues. But, in addition to the challenges they face while assisting host countries on the difficult path from conflict to peace, peacekeepers have recently had to deal with procedures and obstacles caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the article is to investigate the performance of everyday tasks in the COVID-19 era with an emphasis on issues related to the availability of basic supplies for UN peacekeepers, personal protective equipment, medical services, welfare, travel restrictions, and connections with the resident population in Africa. In this paper, we will present the results of qualitative research (in-depth interviews) on the experiences of UN staff from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) who served in the mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), in the period 2020-2022. In anticipation of malaria, typhoid, hepatitis, salmonella, etc., the peacekeepers faced a new unknown disease, a shortage of medicines, they had no access to hospitals, and personal protective masks were made from their underwear. In some areas the local population believed that COVID19 was a “mysterious disease” brought and spread by peacekeepers and this fact shed new light on (non)cooperation with UN staff. Apart from the UN, the mission staff were (not) provided with support and assistance in various ways by the countries which they came from.
PENERAPAN BIMBINGAN INDIVIDUAL SEBAGAI UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN GURU DALAM MENYUSUN SOAL-SOAL HOTS PADA SDN 20 PAYAK ITAM
Authors: Mat Nasir  
Published: July 2023

Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan di lapangan terhadap instrumen-instrumen penilaian pencapaian kompetensi, yakni butir-butir soal di sekolah binaan saat melaksanakan pengawasan akademik, ditemukan bahwa penyusunan tes dan pengembangan butir soal masih banyak yang tidak valid dan reliabel. Dalam mengadakan ulangan harian, ulangan tengah semester, dan ulangan semester, guru hanya menyalin soal-soal dari LKS (lembar kerja siswa) dan atau menyalin dari buku-buku lainnya tanpa memperhatikan apakah soal-soal sesuai dengan indikator-indikator dan kompetensi dasar yang telah ditentukan atau tidak. Mereka menyusun tes dan mengembangkan butir soal terkesan asal-asalan tidak sesuai dengan indikator-indikator dan kompetensi dasar yang telah ditentukan. Peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian yang berjudul “Meningkatkan Kemampuan Guru Dalam Menyusun Soal-Soal HOTS melalui Bimbingan Individual Pada SDN 20 Payak Itam Tahun Pelajaran 2021/2022”. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Model penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada siklus 1 hasil telaah untuk penyusunan dan pengembagan soal-soal HOTS dari 8 orang guru diperoleh nilai rata-rata 85. Dari hasil kuesioner tentang sikap para guru terhadap bimbingan individual 72,84% setuju dan yang masih ragu 27,16%. Ini menunjukkan sikap positif bagi guru terhadap bimbingan individual. Pada siklus 2 hasil telaah untuk penyusunan dan pengembangan soal-soal HOTS diperoleh nilai rata-rata 94. Prosentase kuesioner sikap positif guru pada pra siklus diperoleh 25,16% setuju terhadap model pembimbingan melalui bimbingan individual. Hal ini berarti bahwa guru kurang atau tidak menunjukkan respon positif terhadap bimbingan individual. Mereka menganggap bahwa menyusun butir soal tidak perlu terperinci. Namun setelah tindakan siklus I dan II melalui bimbingan individual respon positif mereka meningkat menjadi 72,84%. Setelah diberikan penguatan pada siklus II, meningkat menjadi 87,65 %.

Published: July 2023

ObjectivePsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an immune‐mediated inflammatory arthritis, associated with psoriasis, that significantly increases morbidity and mortality risk. We currently lack the means of predicting which patients with psoriasis will develop PsA, and a large number of patients remain undiagnosed. Regulation of gene expression through DNA methylation can potentially trigger and maintain PsA pathophysiological processes. We aimed to identify DNA methylation markers that can predict which patients with psoriasis will develop PsA prior to the onset of musculoskeletal symptoms.MethodsGenome‐wide DNA methylation was assessed in blood samples from patients with psoriasis who went on to develop arthritis (converters) and patients with psoriasis who did not (biologic naive, matched for age, sex, psoriasis duration, and duration of follow‐up). Methylation differences between converters and nonconverters were identified by a multivariate linear regression model including clinical covariates (age, sex, body mass index, smoking). Predictive performance of methylation markers was assessed by developing support vector machine classification models with and without the addition of clinical variables.ResultsWe identified a set of 36 highly relevant methylation markers (false discovery rate: adjusted P < 0.05 and a minimum change in methylation of 0.05) across 15 genes and several intergenic regions. A classification model relying on these markers identified converters and nonconverters with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9644.ConclusionThis study shows that DNA methylation patterns at an early stage of psoriatic disease can distinguish between patients who will develop PsA from those who will not during the same follow‐up.image
Long‐term seedling and small sapling census data from the Barro Colorado Island 50 ha Forest Dynamics Plot, Panama

Published: July 2023

AbstractTropical forests are well known for their high woody plant diversity. Processes occurring at early life stages are thought to play a critical role in maintaining this high diversity and shaping the composition of tropical tree communities. To evaluate hypothesized mechanisms promoting tropical tree species coexistence and influencing composition, we initiated a census of woody seedlings and small saplings in the permanent 50 ha Forest Dynamics Plot (FDP) on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama. Situated in old‐growth, lowland tropical moist forest, the BCI FDP was originally established in 1980 to monitor trees and shrubs ≥1 cm diameter at 1.3 m above ground (dbh) at ca. 5‐year intervals. However, critical data on the dynamics occurring at earlier life stages were initially lacking. Therefore, in 2001 we established a 1‐m2 seedling plot in the center of every 5 × 5 m section of the BCI FDP. All freestanding woody individuals ≥20 cm tall and <1 cm dbh (hereafter referred to as seedlings) were tagged, mapped, measured, and identified to species in 19,313 1‐m2 seedling plots. Because seedling dynamics are rapid, we censused these seedling plots every 1–2 years. Here, we present data from the 14 censuses of these seedling plots conducted between the initial census in 2001 to the most recent census, in 2018. This data set includes nearly 1 M observations of ~185,000 individuals of >400 tree, shrub, and liana species. These data will permit spatially‐explicit analyses of seedling distributions, recruitment, growth, and survival for hundreds of woody plant species. In addition, the data presented here can be linked to openly‐available, long‐term data on the dynamics of trees and shrubs ≥1 cm dbh in the BCI FDP, as well as existing data sets from the site on climate, canopy structure, phylogenetic relatedness, functional traits, soil nutrients, and topography. This data set can be freely used for non‐commercial purposes; we request that users of these data cite this data paper in all publications resulting from the use of this data set.

Published: July 2023

AbstractEdible insects, such as palm weevil larvae, have been promoted as an alternative source of nutrients in developing countries for their nutritional benefits, cost‐effective rearing, and yearly availability. Unfortunately, consumer acceptance remains a barrier to their utilization. A supplemental palm weevil larvae and tomato paste were developed as part of efforts to understand whether incorporating edible insects into staple foods could help overcome this barrier. Palm weevil larvae flour and tomato paste were mixed in three formulations that had 8, 15, and 30% of palm weevil larvae flour. Samples were subjected to proximate and mineral content analyses and sensory evaluation. Among the blends, tomato paste containing 30% palm weevil larvae had the highest protein, fat, and total solids content as compared to unfortified tomato paste. Iron and zinc levels also increased with increasing levels of palm weevil larvae flour. Carbohydrate and crude fiber concentrations of the samples, however, decreased with increasing fortification levels. The overall acceptance and willingness to purchase fortified tomato paste as determined by sensory evaluation was high for all samples and increased with increasing knowledge about palm weevil larvae's nutritional benefits. Overall acceptance and willingness to purchase fortified tomato paste were significantly dependent on the samples' color and consumers' overall liking of the products. Tomato paste fortified with palm weevil larvae can provide a complementary source of iron for Ghanaians.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of the novel technique of intra‐cavitary saline‐aided ultrasound (US) guided transoral biopsy or excision of retropharyngeal nodes.MethodsWe followed the IDEAL 2a framework to develop this technique. Procedures were performed between July 2020 and July 2022 at a tertiary head and neck center.ResultsFive patients in total underwent an ultrasound‐guided biopsy of a retropharyngeal node. They underwent seven procedures between them: three transoral robotic surgery (TORS) procedures, three fine needle aspirations (FNA) and/or core biopsy procedures, and one US assessment under general anesthetic. The six patients with histology taken (three TORS and three FNA/core biopsies) all had diagnostically adequate samples enabling appropriate treatment planning. There were no significant complications from the procedure.ConclusionSaline‐aided US‐guided biopsy of a retropharyngeal node is a safe and useful tool enabling accurate tissue sampling and tumor excision and ongoing appropriate treatment planning.
