To See in the Dark
Authors: Mirzoeff Nicholas 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Seeing with Palestine was a constitutive possibility in the anticolonial way of seeing from the moment of the Nakba, meaning “catastrophe,” the destruction of Palestinian society in 1948. This article traces this way of seeing in the genealogy of visual culture that emerged in Britain in dialogue with Black British cultural studies and art practice, based on the practices of Stuart Hall, George Lamming, John Berger, and Jean Mohr. It then discusses Palestinian artist Randa Maddah, whose work Berger described as “landswept.” The conclusion speculates on how to “see in the dark” via the Palestinian artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou Rahme.
Black Women Undertakers of the Early Twentieth Century Were Hidden in Plain Sight
Authors: Fletcher Kami 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis essay foregrounds Black women in the very narrative of undertaking that they helped create and develop. It was the wives who helped start the country’s oldest undertaking firms, and it was the wives, sisters, and daughters who sustained and professionalized the funeral home legacy. The article follows women from the American South and mid-Atlantic regions, illustrating how, with their skills and capital, they labored not just as funeral directresses, embalmers, and undertakers but also as bookkeepers, hairdressers, accountants, caterers. These women were “race women,” college-educated Black women who were trained to uplift the race. And as race women in the death trade, they brought their skills and education to a field that created generational wealth and civic empowerment.
Cytological Studies of the Neurones of Locusta migratoria Part II. Cytoplasmic inclusions during the differentiation and growth of the nerve cells
Authors: Shafiq Saiyid Ahmad 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
1. The Golgi controversy as it applies to the nerve cells of Locusta is discussed with reference to the recent publications of Beams and others (1953) and Gatenby and others (1953). Further support has been obtained for the view that the ‘Golgi’ appearances are produced by reactions at the surface of the lipochondria.
2. Cytoplasmic inclusions during the differentiation and growth of the nerve cells are described. The early germ-band cells have two categories of inclusions— mitochondria (granular and filamentous) and lipochondria (osmiophil bodies). The neuroblasts and early ganglion-cells possess only granular mitochondria. The filamentous mitochondria and lipochondria appear again in the growing neurones, so that at the time of hatching of the embryo the nerve cells have attained the full development of their cytoplasmic inclusions. Thus, Gatenby’s three-phase theory for nerve cells does not apply to Locusta.
3. It is concluded that the lipochondria and filamentous mitochondria are not necessarily self-reproducing bodies.
4. Masson’s technique shows granules staining red with acid fuchsin in the growing neurones as well as in the different stages of the adult. These are shown to be lipochondria. No secretory cycle could be detected.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundSubcutaneous (deep) mycoses are a chronic infectious disease of the skin and underlying structures endemic in tropical countries. The disease has serious medical and socioeconomic consequences for patients, communities and health services in endemic areas. The inclusion of mycetoma and other subcutaneous mycoses in the list of Neglected Tropical Diseases by WHO highlights the need to assess the burden of these diseases and establish control programs where necessary. In Ethiopia no strategies can be devised because of a lack of epidemiologic information. To address this evidence gap, we performed a national rapid assessment of the geographic distribution of subcutaneous mycoses.MethodologyWe conducted a rapid retrospective assessment using hospital records to identify all suspected and confirmed cases of subcutaneous mycoses in 13 referral hospitals across the country between 2015 and 2022. In each hospital the logbooks were reviewed for diagnoses of subcutaneous mycosess, as diagnosed per routine practice. Descriptive analysis was done.ResultFrom 13 hospitals we extracted 143 cases of subcutaneous mycoses, registered from July 2018 to September 2022. 118 (82.5%) patients were diagnosed as mycetoma, 21 (14.7%) as chromoblastomycosis and the remaining 4 (2.8%) as sporotrichosis. The mean age of patients was 35.8 years (SD = 14.5). 101 (70.6%) patients were male and 96 (67.1%) patients were farmers. 64 (44.8%) cases were from the Tigray regional state. 56 (65.9%) patients had information on diagnostic microscopic evaluation: for mycetoma histopathologic evaluation and fine needle aspiration cytology had a higher positivity rate while for chromoblastomycosis potassium hydroxide (KOH) staining had a better yield. The main clinical presentations were nodules, sinuses and infiltrative plaques on the skin. Radiologic findings of bone involvement was present in some.ConclusionsMycetoma and other subcutaneous mycoses are endemic in Ethiopia, with cases reported from almost all regions with the highest cases numbers reported from the northern part of the country. A routine program and systems should be developed to identify and document the burden of subcutaneous fungal infections in the country. Diagnosis and treatment guidelines should be developed.

Published: September 2023

On 30 patients with endotracheal tubes and mechanical ventilation, bacteriological culture has been done using a simple, safe and quite reliable technique. During this study we found that gram negative bacteria especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most frequent bacteria isolated. Other bacteria found were staphylococcus, pseudomonas species and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Based on sensitivity tests, the aminoglycoside especially amikacin is the recommended antibiotic against gram negative bacteria.
As for gram positive bacteria, subenicilin, cloxacillin and cotrimoxazole are the potent antibiotics.
The data presented in this study dearly support the usefulness and reliability of the technique.

Green “one-pot” fluorescent bis-indolizine synthesis with whole-cell plant biocatalysis
Authors: Botezatu Andreea Veronica Dediu , Bahrim Gabriela Elena , Ungureanu Claudia Veronica , Busuioc Anna Cazanevscaia , Furdui Bianca , Dinica Rodica Mihaela 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
An efficient one-pot route leading to bis-indolizine symmetric compounds has been developed via a new approach from the dipyridinium heterocyclic compound, reactive halogenated derivative, and activated alkyne through biocatalysis. A set of local plants was evaluated for its catalytic potential in “one-pot” biocatalysis of these valuable fluorescent compound synthesis reactions. Most of these biocatalysts containing enzymes from the oxidoreductase class (peroxidase: 0.56–1.08 mmol purpurogallin‧g−1 fresh weight‧min−1, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) : 27.19–48.95 PPO units‧mg tissue−1, CAT: 3.27–21.71 µmol O2‧g−1 fresh weight‧min−1), were used as green catalysts in the multi-component cycloaddition reaction, in an aqueous buffer solution, for the production of bis-indolizine compounds in moderate to excellent yields (45–85%). The horseradish root (Armoracia rusticana) has been selected as the most promising biocatalyst source among the evaluated plants, and the obtained yields were greater than in the conventional synthesis method. The structures of indolizine derivatives were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, elemental analyses, as well as Fourier transform-infrared spectra. The cytotoxicity of the latter obtained indolizine compounds on the growth of the model microorganism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae MIUG 3.6 yeast strain, was also evaluated. Various parameters (number of generations, growth rate, generation time, dry matter yield, the degree of the budding yeast cells, and the degree of yeast autolysis, fermentation intensity), which describe the yeast growth, suggest that the nutrient broth supplemented with different concentrations of bis-indolizine compounds (10 and 1 µM) had no toxic effect on the yeast strain growth, under submerged cultivation conditions.

Experimental Study on Grouting Effect of Combined Post-Grouting Piles in Cohesive Soil
Authors: Wang Zhengzhen , Huang Lei , Dai Guoliang , Li Feng , Ma Tianzhong 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
To study the grouting effect of pile end and pile side combined post-grouting technology in cohesive soil, the self-balancing static load test was carried out on two bored piles with length of 56.5 m and diameter of 1.5 m in a bridge pile foundation project, and the test results before and after the combined cement grouting were compared and analyzed. The influences of combined grouting on ultimate load-bearing ability, pile axial force, pile side friction, pile end resistance, and settlement reduction of bored piles in cohesive soil were studied. The findings revealed that the ultimate load-bearing abilities of combined grouting piles in cohesive soil improved by 32.99∼38.42 % as compared with before grouting, the corresponding settlement was effectively controlled, and the grouting effect was remarkable. Combined post-grouting enhanced the soil layer strengths of pile tip soil and pile side soil, improved the condition of pile-soil contact surface, and greatly increased the pile end resistance and pile side friction. The pile end resistances increased by 96.90∼98.61 % and pile side frictions increased by 23.63∼29.70 %, which causes the pile axial force to decay faster along the piles and also has an obvious influence on load transfer characteristic of the test piles. However, in some stages, the reinforcement effect of post-grouting on the soil stiffness of pile side was not obvious or even deteriorated, which reflected the instability of the reinforcement effect of post-grouting technology.
Some Psychometric Properties of Lithuanian Thinking and Language Dysfunction Scale (TALD)
Authors: Petraškaitė Karolina , Grigutytė Neringa 
Published: September 2023

Thought disorder is one of the main symptoms of schizophrenia, although signs of it are also found in other disorders, such as schizoaffective disorder or depression, so it is important to find the best ways to assess symptoms and use them to differentiate between different disorders. Thought and Language Dysfunction Scale (TALD) is one of the newest and empirically based instruments that can help assess not only objectively observed but also subjectively expressed signs of thought disorder in various mental illnesses. This article aims to analyse some psychometric characteristics of the Lithuanian version of TALD in different psychiatric disorders. 129 individuals participated in the study (73 men, 56 women, age M = 34.28, SD = 9.95), of which 39 had schizophrenia, 27 schizoaffective disorder, 31 depression diagnoses, and 32 belonged to the control group. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, four thought disorder symptom factors were confirmed, which reflect dimensions of positive, negative, objective, and subjective symptoms. The scale has appropriate reliability characteristics. The results of both the total score and the different dimensions are significantly higher in the clinical groups compared to the controls. The results of all dimensions and the overall assessment allow excellent separation of those who suffer from mental health disorders from those who not, and the objective positive symptoms can differentiate schizophrenia or schizoaffective patients from depression ones the most effectively. Although further research on psychometric properties is important, the instrument may be useful when used in conjunction with other research methods in the psychodiagnostics.
Effects of a Parenting and Nutrition Intervention on Siblings: A Cluster-RCT
Authors: Jeong Joshua , Domonko Valentina , Mendile Thecla , Yousafzai Aisha K. 
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVES
The majority of the evidence about the effectiveness of early parenting and nutrition interventions pertains to 1 targeted index child in a given household. We evaluated whether nontargeted sibling children benefited from a bundled parenting and nutrition intervention.

METHODS
We designed a sub-study within a broader cluster-randomized trial that evaluated the effects of engaging both mothers and fathers and bundling parenting and nutrition interventions in Mara, Tanzania. Trained community health workers delivered interventions to parents through peer groups and home visits. Interventions encompassed various content including responsive parenting, infant and young child feeding, and positive couples’ relationships. The main trial enrolled mothers and fathers and 1-index children &lt;18 months of age in 80 clusters. Between June and July 2021, in 32 clusters (16 intervention, 16 control), we reenrolled 222 households (118 intervention, 104 control) from the main trial that had another child &lt;6 years of age (ie, sibling to the index child). We compared caregiving practices and child development and nutrition outcomes among siblings in intervention versus control households.

RESULTS
Compared with control siblings, intervention siblings had improved expressive language development (β = 0.33 [95% confidence interval: 0.03 to 0.62]) and dietary intake (β = 0.52 [0.10 to 0.93]) and reduced internalizing behaviors (β = −0.56 [−1.07 to −0.06]). Intervention caregivers reported greater maternal stimulation (β = 0.31 [0.00 to 0.61]) and paternal stimulation (β = 0.33 [0.02 to 0.65]) and displayed more responsive caregiving behaviors (β = 0.40 [0.09 to 0.72]) with sibling children.

CONCLUSIONS
A father-inclusive, bundled parenting and nutrition intervention can achieve positive spillover effects on sibling children’s developmental and nutritional outcomes.
Sistematización sobre ciudades inteligentes con énfasis en ecosistemas de innovación para la creación de valor público
Authors: Delgado Fernández Mercedes , Delgado Fernández Tatiana 
Published: September 2023

Junto al desarrollo de las ciudades inteligentes, están emergiendo mecanismos colaborativos de innovación que facilitan la cocreación de valor público. Siendo los ecosistemas de innovación un elemento dinamizador de tales mecanismos, se hace necesario sistematizar las esencias conceptuales de su influencia en el desarrollo actual de las ciudades inteligentes. Este artículo se centra en dicho propósito, para lo cual se realiza una revisión basada en una estrategia de búsqueda en la base de datos de Google Académico para el periodo 2015-2021. La sistematización conceptual sigue una metodología que consta de tres etapas: i) conceptualización, que permite distinguir las definiciones de ciudad inteligente con énfasis en los ecosistemas de innovación; ii) desarrollo, que profundiza en los modelos teóricos que destacan cómo tiene lugar la cocreación de valor público en los entornos urbanos actuales, y iii) aprendizaje, donde se hace hincapié en los hallazgos del estudio para proponer guías para la acción. Como resultado, se presentan regularidades conceptuales que ponen al descubierto la importancia de analizar las ciudades inteligentes desde una perspectiva innovadora, colaborativa y centrada en las personas. El principal aporte de este artículo radica en la obtención de un modelo conceptual general para la cocreación de valor público en ciudades inteligentes, con base en los hallazgos conceptuales obtenidos, de los cuales también se derivan recomendaciones, con el fin de fomentar su exitosa implementación.
