Mouth and facial informativeness norms for 2276 English words
Authors: Krason Anna , Zhang Ye , Man Hillarie , Vigliocco Gabriella 
Published: August 2023

AbstractMouth and facial movements are part and parcel of face-to-face communication. The primary way of assessing their role in speech perception has been by manipulating their presence (e.g., by blurring the area of a speaker’s lips) or by looking at how informative different mouth patterns are for the corresponding phonemes (or visemes; e.g., /b/ is visually more salient than /g/). However, moving beyond informativeness of single phonemes is challenging due to coarticulation and language variations (to name just a few factors). Here, we present mouth and facial informativeness (MaFI) for words, i.e., how visually informative words are based on their corresponding mouth and facial movements. MaFI was quantified for 2276 English words, varying in length, frequency, and age of acquisition, using phonological distance between a word and participants’ speechreading guesses. The results showed that MaFI norms capture well the dynamic nature of mouth and facial movements per word, with words containing phonemes with roundness and frontness features, as well as visemes characterized by lower lip tuck, lip rounding, and lip closure being visually more informative. We also showed that the more of these features there are in a word, the more informative it is based on mouth and facial movements. Finally, we demonstrated that the MaFI norms generalize across different variants of English language. The norms are freely accessible via Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/mna8j/) and can benefit any language researcher using audiovisual stimuli (e.g., to control for the effect of speech-linked mouth and facial movements).

Feminist spiritualities, gender equality and sustainable development: The possibilities of a countermovement
Authors: Swanepoel N. , Van Wyk T. 
Published: August 2023

Feminist historiography indicates that spirituality has historically been one of the instruments whereby women could “speak”. This “voice” implied recognition and authority, to a certain degree, in a patriarchal-oriented reality. In this regard, feminist spirituality became a vehicle for women to authorise their own religious and spiritual contributions and insights. Feminist spirituality became a countermovement – countering perceptions and ingrained convictions that a woman could not be a mediator between God and humanity. Feminist spirituality contributed to the creation of spaces for women to study and participate in the creation of religious-spiritual texts. Women’s contexts are diverse and intersectional, and so is feminist spirituality, to the extent that it is more appropriate to speak of feminist spiritualities in the plural. This article explores the possibilities of feminist spirituality as countermovement that contributes to the realisation of gender equality, in the way that gender equality finds expression in the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. It is situatedwithin a growing field of work that explores how faith communities’ religion and spirituality contribute to their being agents of sustainable development, and within the contextual urgency of the sustainable development agenda.
Urban intensity and flower community structure drive monkey beetle assemblage in Cape Town
Authors: Brom Peta , Colville Jonathan , Underhill Leslie , Winter Kevin 
Published: August 2023

Background: Urban landscapes present an important opportunity for pollinator conservation, but little is known about the status and distribution of pollinator populations in urban habitats in Africa. This represents a major gap in the development of a global understanding of urban pollinators – particularly from the rapidly urbanising context. This study uses a speciose clade of flower-visiting beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Hopliini) to explore patterns of pollinator distribution in a major metropolitan area in South Africa.
Objectives: We investigated community composition across gradients of urban intensity (defined according to the percentage of soil-sealing within 1 km2 of each sampling location) and socio-economic status to determine pollinator responses to these urban landscape effects.
Methods: A selection of 142 sites were surveyed twice in the austral spring seasons of 2018 and 2019. Data were collected on habitat structure, flower diversity, and pollinator diversity.
Results: The study found that different feeding guilds of monkey beetles favoured different levels of urban intensity and that beetle richness significantly correlated with flower richness. It did not, however, correlate with diversity indicating that abundance is less impacted than the number of species present. Monkey beetles with moderate sensitivity to urban intensity benefitted from the presence of preferred species of flowers.
Conclusion: Overall, the findings demonstrate the importance of plant community assemblage in supporting urban monkey beetles. We recommend landscaping with preferred flower species in urban parks to support urban pollinators.

Este artículo presenta una visión global de la trayectoria de uno de los antropólogos más destacados centrándose en el proyecto comentado. Al aproximarse a su obra será posible, a su vez, identificar algunas de las razones que producen en la disciplina presente cierta grado de stasis.
Entre el hablar y el silencio: la transformación de roles de género en espacios de activismo religioso-secular
Authors: Cazarin Rafael , Davila Andres 
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo aborda las narrativas de transformación manejadas por líderes de comunidades religiosas que participan en talleres para la prevención de violencia sexual y de género (VSG) llevados a cabo en distintas localidades africanas por una ONG con sede en Sudáfrica. En concreto, buscamos revelar las formas en que quienes participan en dichos talleres dan sentido a la transformación de género en territorios religiosos y seculares; así como, en relación con eso, explorar las tensiones y conformidades que emergen cuando tanto mujeres como varones analizan las desigualdades de género en sus entornos personales. El artículo muestra cómo tales participantes manejan la noción de transformación en el ámbito de la violencia de género, a tenor de un repertorio emocional enmarcado por expresiones en términos de hablar, escuchar, callar y silencio. Este proceso tiene al menos dos dimensiones: por una parte, articula los desafíos que enfrentan al tratar con VSG en sus vidas personales desde espacios concretos como la iglesia, la familia o en las relaciones afectivas y el entorno comunitario; por otra parte, ayuda a enmarcar las tensiones existentes entre nuevas perspectivas en torno a los roles y relaciones de género que se desdoblan en territorios seculares y religiosos.

Are multiple courses of antibiotics a potential risk factor for COVID-19 infection and severity?
Authors: Shams Maiada Mahmoud , Hamdy Ebthal Mamdouh , Abd-elsadek Dina Fawzy 
Published: August 2023

Background:
To determine the potential risk factor of COVID-19 severity and length of hospitalization, the association between multiple antibiotics administration and the risk of severe COVID-19.

Methods:
A case-control study of 58 hospitalized COVID-19 patients (the case group) and 120 non-hospitalized home isolated COVID-19 patients (the control group) was conducted. Data were collected using hospital medical records and verbal questionnaires for the participants.

Results:
Totally 89.2% of non-hospitalized mild COVID-19 patients received ⩽2 courses of antibiotics/year, while 36.0% of hospitalized patients received ⩾4 courses of antibiotics, 56.9% received 2-3 courses of antibiotics/year and only 6.9% of them were exposed to ⩽2 courses of antibiotics/year. our study emphasizes that the usage of 4 courses or higher per year was a significant risk factor for hospitalization [OR: 17.5; 95%CI(2.596-118.263); P=0.003], while the usage of ⩽2 courses was a preventive predictor for severity and hospitalization [OR: 0.072; 95%CI(0.006-0.900); P=0.041]. Furthermore, age was associated with 8.4% increase in the odds of severe COVID-19 [OR: 1.084; 95%CI(1.024-1.148), P=0.005], and females were 89.1% less likely to hospitalized than males [OR: 0.109; 95%CI(0.024-0.498); P= 0.004]. Our study shows that 70.4% of cases misused antibiotics and administered the antibiotics themselves without a physician's prescription. Around 50.0% of cases never completed the ideal duration of the course in contrast to controls, of which only 23.2% did not complete the ideal duration.

Conclusions:
Our study shows that antibiotics misuse and overuse may be a potential risk factor for COVID-19 severity and hospitalization.

Authors: Kaur Amanjot , Parida Priyadarsani , Priyadarshini Smruti Rekha , Mohanty Amrita , Sahu Srikant K , Das Sujata 
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
To observe the trends of various types of keratoplasties in different etiologies over a period of 10 years (2011-2020) in a tertiary eye care center of eastern India.

Methods:
A retrospective review of patients undergoing keratoplasties from 2011 to 2020 was performed in a tertiary eye care hospital situated in eastern part of India. Apart from demographic data, primary indication for each surgery and type of procedure carried out was recorded. For comparison, data were divided into two time periods: Group I: Jan 2011 to Dec 2015 and Group II: Jan 2016 to Dec 2020.

Results:
Over a period of 10 years, a total of 2365 (Group I: 902, Group II: 1463) keratoplasties were performed. The average age of patients was 45.8 ± 19.9 and 46.9 ± 20.9 years in Group I and Group II, respectively. Among all the corneal grafts, 1747 (74%) surgeries were full-thickness. Although optical penetrating keratoplasty (OPK) was most the common indication for full-thickness keratoplasties, Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) remained most performed lamellar keratoplasty. Keratitis, corneal scars, and bullous keratopathies remain to be most common indications in both groups. Number of lamellar keratoplasties increased significantly from Group I to Group II for corneal scars (P = 0.02), bullous keratopathies (P = 0.01), and endothelial dystrophies (P = 0.00).

Conclusion:
With change in time, the indication and technique of keratoplasty has witnessed a changing trend from full-thickness keratoplasty to lamellar keratoplasty. There is rise in trend of lamellar keratoplasties over the period.
Antibiotic prophylaxis for cataract surgery - Practice patterns amongst Indian Ophthalmologists
Authors: Kelkar Aditya S , Sharma Namrata , Verma Lalit , Chandorkar Shraddha A , Saxena Rohit , Mishra Deepak , Kelkar Jai A , Sengupta Sabhyasachi 
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
To assess the current trends in use of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, especially intracameral antibiotics (ICAB), for cataract surgery in India.

Methods:
This was an E-survey using a previously validated questionnaire carried out by the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) in August 2022. An E-mail invitation to complete an online 40-point survey was sent to all members of the AIOS using a digital E-mail service (Survey Monkey) and social media platforms.

Results:
Out of 1804 total respondents, 58% (n = 1022) reported using routine ICAB prophylaxis. Of those using ICAB, 89% (n = 909) reported using it for all cases, whereas the rest used it for specific indications such as post-PC rent (n = 43), one eyed patient (n = 19), and high-risk cases (n = 50). Commercially available moxifloxacin was by far the commonest agent used for ICAB (n = 686, 67%). Eighty respondents (8%) reported noticing occasional toxic reactions and nontoxic corneal edema (n = 64, 6%) with ICAB. Surgeons with >10 years’ experience especially practicing in medical colleges used fewer ICAB (OR = 0.52, 95%CI = 0.38 – 0.72, P < 0,001) compared to younger surgeons (<5-year experience) in solo clinics. The commonest reason for nonadoption of IC antibiotics was “unconvinced of the need to use it in my setting” (n = 296, 52% of those who answered this question).

Conclusion:
IC antibiotic prophylaxis for cataract surgery has significantly increased in India from 40% in 2017 to 58% in 2022. Commercially available moxifloxacin was preferred by the majority users. Intraocular inflammation may occur occasionally and needs safer formulations to avoid this.
A Quasi-experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Counseling among Caregivers of Heart Failure Patients on Selected Outcomes
Authors: Chauhan Shivani , Tirwa Milan , Seth Sandeep , Satapathy Sujata , Hote Payal Kahol , Gopichandran Lakshmanan 
Published: August 2023

Background:
In India, heart failure (HF) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. Caregivers are essential and play an important role in bridging the gap in providing care to HF patients. Caregivers’ demanding and difficult roles can result in a significant burden, which may lead to stress and symptoms of depression.

Aim and Objectives:
The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of structured counseling on caregiver burden, stress, and depression among caregivers of HF patients.

Materials and Methods:
Sixty caregivers of patients with HF were selected using consecutive sampling and divided into control and experimental groups. A one-on-one, 30-min structured counseling session was delivered telephonically to caregivers of HF patients. A pretest was taken before the intervention and posttest 1 month later, through telephone, on caregiver burden, stress, and depression using the caregiver burden interview, Perceived Stress Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.

Results:
The experimental group showed a significant reduction in caregiver burden (P = 0.001), stress (P = 0.001), and depression (P = 0.001) scores at 1 month. Female caregivers showed a significantly higher caregiver burden (P = 0.046) and depression (P = 0.019), and nuclear families showed a significantly higher caregiver burden (P = 0.016) and depression (P = 0.027). There was a significant positive correlation between stress and the presence of comorbidities (P = 0.021) and depression and the presence of comorbidities (P = 0.042).

Conclusions:
Structured counseling was effective in reducing caregiver burden and decreasing stress and depression in caregivers of HF patients.
A cross-sectional study to determine the relationship between diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in South India
Authors: Roche Anjali L. , Prabhu Rajashree S. , Govind Indu 
Published: August 2023

Background:
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the risk factors and correlation between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetes mellitus in South India.

Materials and Methods:
A hospital-based analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and were assessed for diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. Patients were classified into two groups: no-diabetic nephropathy (Group A) and diabetic nephropathy (Group B) based on eGFR. Fundoscopy was performed in all patients to look for DR. Multivariate regression analysis was used to determine risk factors associated with diabetic nephropathy. This study was approved by the institutional review board, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.

Statistical Analysis:
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 for Windows was used. Descriptive statistical methods were used to outline the basic characteristics, and a P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Differences between the groups were analyzed using independent-sample t-test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables.

Results:
In this study, 52% patients with DN had retinopathy when compared to 23% patients in no-DN (P < 0.001). The distribution of different types of retinopathies was 44% NPDR, 28% PDR, and 32% CSME in patients with DN and 31% NPDR, 8% PDR, and 7% CSME in the no-DN group (P < 0.001). The age, hypertension, duration of diabetes, serum creatinine, urine protein levels, and diabetic retinopathy gradings were found to be more positively correlated with DN; no diabetic retinopathy and insulin treatment data showed negative correlation. Multivariate regression analysis confirmed age, creatinine, eGFR, DR, and CSME as risk factors for progression to DN (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The results of our study suggest that diabetic nephropathy has a positive correlation with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. We found that PDR and CSME were associated with diabetic nephropathy, and PDR and CSME were risk factors for DN. Hence, renal parameters can be used as a reliable predictor for diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and also contribute to prevention of DR.
