Abstract
Background
Trunk inclination from semirecumbent head-upright to supine-flat positioning reduces driving pressure and increases respiratory system compliance in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). These effects are associated with an improved ventilatory ratio and reduction in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). However, these physiological effects have not been completely studied, and their mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of a change in trunk inclination from semirecumbent (45°) to supine-flat (10°) on physiological dead space and ventilation distribution in different lung regions.

Results
Twenty-two ARDS patients on pressure-controlled ventilation underwent three 60-min steps in which trunk inclination was changed from 45° (baseline) to 10° (intervention) and back to 45° (control) in the last step. Tunk inclination from a semirecumbent (45°) to a supine-flat (10°) position resulted in a higher tidal volume [371 (± 76) vs. 433 (± 84) mL (P < 0.001)] and respiratory system compliance [34 (± 10) to 41 (± 12) mL/cmH2O (P < 0.001)]. The CO2 exhaled per minute improved from 191 mL/min (± 34) to 227 mL/min (± 38) (P < 0.001). Accordingly, Bohr’s dead space ratio decreased from 0.49 (± 0.07) to 0.41 (± 0.06) (p < 0.001), and PaCO2 decreased from 43 (± 5) to 36 (± 4) mmHg (p < 0.001). In addition, the impedance ratio, which divides the ventilation activity of the ventral region by the dorsal region ventilation activity in tidal images, dropped from 1.27 (0.83–1.78) to 0.86 (0.51–1.33) (p < 0.001). These results, calculated from functional EIT images, indicated further ventilation activity in the dorsal lung regions. These effects rapidly reversed once the patient was repositioned at 45°.

Conclusions
A change in trunk inclination from a semirecumbent (45 degrees) to a supine-flat position (10 degrees) improved Bohr’s dead space ratio and reduced PaCO2 in patients with ARDS. This effect is associated with an increase in tidal volume and respiratory system compliance, along with further favourable impedance ventilation distribution toward the dorsal lung regions. This study highlights the importance of considering trunk inclination as a modifiable determinant of physiological parameters. The angle of trunk inclination is essential information that must be reported in ARDS patients.

Regularization is a central topic in the study of the solutions of ill-posed inverse problems. High-resolution seismic imaging using full-waveform inversion (FWI) belongs to this category of problems. Regularization through anisotropic diffusion, a technique that emerged in the field of image processing, is an interesting alternative to conventional regularization strategies. Exploiting the structural information of a given image, it has the capability to smooth this image along its main structures. The main difficulty is how to design the anisotropic diffusion operator. The concept of coherence enhancing proposed in 2D is extended in 3D and applied so as to filter and enhance the structural coherence of the model updates within an FWI algorithm. The benefits of this strategy are investigated on a 2D synthetic experiment before considering the multiparameter inversion of a 3D field data set from the North Sea up to 10 Hz. From this data, the vertical velocity and the density are simultaneously reconstructed. Compared with a conventional nonstationary Gaussian regularization strategy, the models obtained using the coherence-enhancing anisotropic diffusion strategy indicate an enhanced resolution, especially for the density model. The high-resolution reflectivity image computed from the impedance volume clearly illustrates the benefit this filtering approach can deliver in terms of structural interpretation.
Solomon, His Jinn, and Molten Copper

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe tale of the City of Brass, best known today from the Arabian Nights, tells of the imagined encounter between humans and the occult properties of the material world, namely, the powers inherent in minerals. In the Middle Ages knowledge of such properties was transmitted in works such as the Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm and Alfonso X’s Lapidario. This article explores how this knowledge of precious stones and metals is reflected in the versions of the City of Brass transmitted in medieval Iberia, particularly in the use of copper manifest in the vessels, statues, walls, and domes that bind or contain jinn, treasures, and secrets of the pre-Islamic past.
Border Abolitionism
Authors: Tazzioli Martina , De Genova Nicholas 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article proposes border abolitionism as both a political and an analytical framework for deepening critiques of border, migration, and asylum regimes worldwide. Abolitionist perspectives have been associated primarily with questions of criminalization and mass incarceration and thus articulated as a project of prison abolitionism. Importantly, migrant detention and deportation comprise another major pillar of the entrenchment of the carceral state. While critical migration scholarship and No Borders activism have been confronted with the increasing criminalization of immigration and a more general punitive turn in immigration enforcement, engagements with carceral abolitionist perspectives have largely been quite recent. Seemingly disparate struggles increasingly bring into sharper focus a multifaceted critique of what we call the confinement continuum. Not reducible to detention in migrant jails, the confinement continuum is the nexus of heterogeneous modes of confinement that migrants experience, from the fundamental condition of being stuck or trapped in a border zone to the consequent forms of border violence, as well as other forms of coercion that characterize the more general racialized sociopolitical condition of migrant subordination far beyond any physical border site and encompassing the full spectrum of migrant everyday life. Thus, migrants’ and refugees’ struggles and demands exceed a narrow focus on borders alone and frequently enact an incipient politics of abolitionism: migrants and refugees challenge the interlocking bordering mechanisms affecting them while always also repudiating and resisting the biopolitical constrictions that confine them to degraded conditions of life and articulating broader claims for social justice and visions of new and better ways of life.
What Transnational Feminism Has Not Disrupted Yet

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Examining the critical genealogy of transnational feminism, this essay proposes a feminist theoretical model called quilted epistemology derived from the Black feminist art of quilting. Aiming to strengthen transnational feminism, quilted epistemology intends to resolve some of the existing limitations of transnational feminism and embrace multiple and incompatible feminist knowledge positions from the Global South to the Global North.
Young Afghan-Canadian Women’s Negotiations of Gendered Cultural Scripts and Hybrid Cultural Identities
Authors: Ahmed Saher , Hari Amrita 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
A hybrid identity is neither a happy nor an undesirable mixture; it involves negotiating sometimes two contrasting cultural identities of the home and host nations. Research on post-migratory negotiations of gender identity, roles, and expectations has found that partner selection and marriage are significant cultural practices in a diasporic context. In this study, the authors contribute to two sets of literatures: studies on the lived experiences of Afghan-Canadian migrant and refugee women and postcolonial debates on cultural hybridity. The authors employ in-depth feminist interviews to reveal second-generation Afghan-Canadian women’s gendered negotiations of partner-selection practices and marital ceremonies, including their resistance and conformity to these practices through the mobilization of their hybrid diasporic identities. Overall, the study design allows the authors to situate the voices of young Afghan women at the forefront.
A Signal to End Child Marriage: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh

Published: September 2023

Child marriage remains common even where female schooling and employment opportunities have grown. We experimentally evaluate a financial incentive to delay marriage alongside a girls’ empowerment program in Bangladesh. While girls eligible for two years of incentive are 19 percent less likely to marry underage, the empowerment program failed to decrease adolescent marriage. We show that these results are consistent with a signaling model in which bride type is imperfectly observed but preferred types (socially conservative girls) have lower returns to delaying marriage. Consistent with our theoretical prediction, we observe substantial spillovers of the incentive on untreated nonpreferred types. (JEL C93, D91, J12, J13, J16, 012)

Published: September 2023

Background: Undescended testes (UDT) is a condition where one or both testes is absent in the scrotum. The general age recommendation in which the treatment should be performed is before 18 months old due to the infertility risk and malignancy in later life. On the other hand, in post-pubertal UDT, the current guideline recommends orchiectomy; however, this recommendation is weak. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a systematic review of post-pubertal UDT treatment, focusing on the malignancy risk point of view. Methods: A systematic search was performed using PubMed, Wiley Online Library and the Cochrane Library up to 5 March 2023. Any study with either post-pubertal orchiectomy or orchidopexy in patients with UDT and reporting the testicular malignancy was included. The exclusion criteria were studies with lack of information of UDT correction time, no history of correction and the full text wasn’t available. The data collected were the occurrence of testicular malignancy in post-pubertal UDT patients corrected with any method. Quality and bias assessment was assessed with Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Joanna Briggs Institute tools. Results: Seven articles (three case reports and four observational studies) were reviewed with a total of 42 patients who underwent post-pubertal correction of either unilateral or bilateral UDT. The correction age ranged from 13 to 34 years old, with follow-up of 48.7–252 months. Among those who developed malignancies, the most common were seminoma, teratoma and carcinoma in situ of the testes. In addition, this study was able to propose an algorithm for post-pubertal UDT treatment strategy. Conclusions: The scarce resource was the main limitation of this study. Nevertheless, this review showed that post-pubertal UDT management should be tailored individually. Several factors that should be considered include the condition of the contralateral descended testis, UDT location, serum testosterone level, patient’s age, comorbidities, and interest in fertility.
Case Report: An in-depth look into apocrine carcinoma of the axilla - a rare case presentation.

Published: September 2023

Apocrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm that usually arises in areas with a high density of apocrine glands.1 Diagnosis can be challenging as tumours share histological and immunophenotypic characteristics with them. At first evaluation, the disease is often assumed to be benign. There have been approximately 100 reports of apocrine neoplasms in the literature. A 48-year-old male presented with a right axillary mass which increased in size over a period of 2 years. The patient was reported to have had ayurvedic therapy, but his swelling remained unchanged. Axillary lymph nodes were palpable. USG axilla suggested a well-defined fungating solid isoechoic lesion. USG neck did not reveal any abnormality. The mass was surgically excised as a whole by removing the overlying skin with margins and lymph node excision. The patient was diagnosed with primary apocrine carcinoma after surgical excision. The differentials include adenocarcinoma of breast and prostate and apocrine adenoma. There are no established standards for the care of this form of carcinoma due to its rarity and the absence of clinical studies. A literature evaluation and further reporting will aid in developing diagnostic standards and the most efficient treatment options.

Wyrok SN wskazuje na pojawianie się w polskiej praktyce kontraktowej nowych klauzul umownych we wzorcach umownych, które wydają gwaranci (banki i ubezpieczyciele ,art. 384 k.c.). Chodzi o klauzule, które mogą służyć ochronie dłużnika (np. wykonawcy robot budowlanych, art. 647 k.c.) w razie skorzystania przez wierzyciela (inwestora) z gwarancji „ na pierwsze żądanie” bezpodstawnie tj. bez spełnienia warunków gwarancji. Jedna z takich klauzul jest klauzula przewidująca w takim przypadku odpowiedzialność kontraktową wierzyciela wobec dłużnika (w ramach tzw. stosunku podstawowego, np. umowy o roboty budowlane). Autor analizuje w glosie charakter i cele takich klauzul. Wyrok inspiruje Autora do wskazania innych klauzul, które są wynikiem lojalnej współpracy gwaranta i dłużnika i pojawiają się w umowie zlecenia(art.734 k.c.; dłużnik z reguły zleca bankowi udzielenie gwarancji wierzycielowi). W glosie Autor kwestionuje stanowisko SN, że w gwarancja może mieścić się w konstrukcji przekazu z art.921(1) kc.,bowiem ocena taka takie pozostaje wyraźnie sprzeczna z polską praktyką kontraktową i jej potrzebami.
The role of aromatase inhibitors in slim women with breast cancer-related lymphoedema: a reflective case series
Authors: Anvar Clare 
Published: September 2023

Background: This case series follows the reflective processes undertaken, when five slim women presented with reactive oedemas of the forearm and hand, that did not respond to usual therapy. Aim: To raise awareness about Aromatase Inhibitor (AI), Letrozole. Methods: Possible causes, including Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors, Ribociclib and Axillary Web Syndrome, were explored and reviewed, and potential effective treatment options were then sought. New cases presented, which discounted each theory, until Letrozole was suspected. Results: Inflammatory oedemas were explained by the mechanisms-of-action relating to Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS), the severity of which, especially for slim women with oestrogen deprivation, causes almost 50% of women to cease treatment within 6 months; risking disease reoccurrence. Conclusion: Permissions were gained, a table was collated and sent to referring consultants, requesting risk/benefit analysis of Letrozole with a medication review. If non-responsive, inflammatory oedemas present in clinic, AIs should be considered as a trigger.

Fifty- two low birth weight infants were examined with a minimal age of 2 years and nine months old.
Neurologic abnormalities were very high (38.8%). Convulsions predominate the other abnormalities (21.2%). followed by other abnormalities respectively cerebral palsy, multiple handicapped, mental retardation, behaviour disorders, speech problems, hearing defect and minimal abnormalities.
Neuroiogic impairments were found more in the group of children with weight between 2000 - 2500 grams; and on the appropriate for their gestational age compared to the small for gestational age children.
Intelligence tests on 27 children revealed approximately 50% had an I.Q. below the normal range.
A remarkably high incidence of abnormal EEG recordings (50%) were detected, even on neurologically normal and abnormal infants children did not reveal a distinct correlation with the outcome of these infants.
Problem of Infant Feeding Practices: Implications for Immediate Action

Published: September 2023

A survey on infant feeding practice and its problems was conducted in an attempt to improve child health, particularly during the first two years of age, during which breast feeding should be the infant's main food.
Allthough breast feeding was a generally accepted norm of infant nutrition durring the first year of age, the majority of infants were not breast fed after one year of age. It was clearly observed that early stopping of breast feeding, particularly during the first six months of age, not only increased the risk of
malnutrition, but also increased the risk of diarrheal diseases, which in turn affected significantly the nutritional status.
Early introduction of supplementary food, particularly around three months of age reduced the risk of malnutrition. Since the practice of breast feeding naturally decreases after six months of age, the improvement of the types and quality of supplementary food is important indeed, to maintain the beneficial effects of breast feeding.

BCG and PPD Mantoux Intradermal Test were done simultaneously on 35 children suffering from primary tuberculosis hospitalized in the Department of Child Health, School of Medicine, Gajah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, during the period of June 1980 to November 1980.
This study revealed that: The BCG test was almost three times (74.3%) more sensitive than the PPD Mantoux Intradermal test in children suffering from primary tuberculosis. In under-nourished children with tuberculosis, the BCG test was even more sensitive (85.0% : 25.0%) and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).
There was a high frequency of false negative tuberculine reaction (74.3%) and accelerated BCG reaction (74.3%) in primary tuberculosis. It is suggested that BCG test be used as a diagnostic test as well as prophylactic in tuberculosis children who have had a BCG vaccination.

Published: September 2023

A study of the role of rotavirus in acute gastroenteritis in infants and children was conducted in an attempt to find out the magnitude of its problems.
It was found that the majority of cases with acute diarrhea was caused by rotavirus, only 8% were bacteriial gastroenteritis while the remaining one third of unknown origin.
The clinical course of rotavirus gastroenteritis seemed to be a dysentery like diarrhea with an acute onset of watery diarrhea, associated with fever and vomiting.
These findings indicate that a further extensive study is needed and that the regimen of treatment of dysentery-like diarrhea should be reevaluated.
Melatonin enhances salt tolerance in sorghum by modulating photosynthetic performance, osmoregulation, antioxidant defense, and ion homeostasis

Abstract
Melatonin is a potent antioxidant that can prevent plant damage caused by adverse stresses. It remains unclear whether exogenous melatonin can mitigate the effects of salt stress on seed germination and seedling growth of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench). The aim of this study was to decipher the protective mechanisms of exogenous melatonin (100 μmol/L) on sorghum seedlings under NaCl-induced salt stress (120 mmol/L). Plant morphological, photosynthetic, and physiological characteristics were analyzed at different timepoints after sowing. Results showed that salt stress inhibited seed germination, seedling growth, and plant biomass accumulation by reducing photosynthetic pigment contents, photosynthetic efficiency, root vigor, and mineral uptake. In contrast, seed priming with melatonin enhanced photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis, photosynthetic efficiency, root vigor, and K+ content under salt stress. Melatonin application additionally enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) and increased the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (reduced glutathione, ascorbic acid) in the leaves. These changes were accompanied by increase in the leaf contents of soluble sugars, soluble proteins, and proline, as well as decrease in hydrogen peroxide accumulation, malondialdehyde content, and electrolyte leakage. Our findings indicate that exogenous melatonin can alleviate salt stress-induced damage in sorghum seedlings through multifaceted mechanisms, such as improving photosynthetic performance and root vigor, facilitating ion homeostasis and osmoregulation, and promoting antioxidant defense and reactive oxygen species scavenging.
Physical effect of ultrasonic on leaching system of zinc oxide dust containing germanium

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Insufficient reaction between dust and sulfuric acid during leaching of zinc oxide dust containing germanium is a major reason for the low leaching efficiency of germanium. This paper makes use of the unique physical effect of ultrasonic wave to play an important role in strengthening the leaching process. Research found that with ultrasonic enhanced leaching, on the one hand, the surface tension and viscosity of the leaching solution decreased by 5.94  and 32.73 %, respectively; on the other hand, for the leached mineral, the contact angle decreases, the surface free energy increases by 9.43 %, the particle size decreases 40.92 %, and the specific surface area and pore volume respectively increase 94.10  and 54.05 %, which reduces the contact resistance between sulfuric acid and dust, making the reaction between them more completely and in-depth. Therefore, the leaching rate is accelerated and the germanium leaching efficiency is increased. Under ultrasonic condition, the leaching efficiency of germanium is enhanced by 3.94 % and the time to reach equilibrium is shortened by about 40.00 %. The above findings can provide theoretical guidance for the extended application of ultrasound in hydrometallurgy and the efficient leaching of germanium-containing zinc oxide dust.
