BURKHOLDERIA PSEUDOMALLEI AS THE PREDOMINANT CAUSE OF SPLENIC ABSCESS IN KAPIT, SARAWAK, MALAYSIAN BORNEO
Authors: Chang Chee Yik 
Published: May 2023

Background: Splenic abscess is an uncommon condition, with autopsy studies estimating an incidence rate of 0.14–0.70%. Causative organisms can be extremely diverse. Burkholderia pseudomallei is the most common cause of splenic abscess in melioidosis-endemic areas. Methods: We reviewed 39 cases of splenic abscesses in a district hospital in Kapit, Sarawak, from January 2017 to December 2018. The demographics, clinical characteristics, underlying diseases, causative organisms, therapeutic methods, and mortality rates were investigated. Results: There were 21 males and 18 females (mean age, 33.7±2.7 years). Almost all patients (97.4%) had a history of pyrexia. Diabetes mellitus was present in 8 patients (20.5%). Splenic abscesses were diagnosed using ultrasonography and were multiple in all 39 cases. Positive blood cultures were obtained in 20 patients (51.3%), and all yielded B. pseudomallei. Melioidosis serology was positive in 9 of 19 patients (47.4%) with negative blood cultures. All patients were treated for melioidosis with antibiotics without the need for surgical intervention. All splenic abscesses resolved after anti-melioidosis treatment was completed. One patient died (2.6%) as a result of B. pseudomallei septicaemia with multiorgan failure. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for diagnosing splenic abscesses in resource-limited settings. B. pseudomallei was the most common etiological agent of splenic abscesses in our study.

De bescherming van algoritmische groepen bij profilering en datagedreven politiewerk; van individuele naar group privacy?
De beschikbaarheid van grote hoeveelheden gegevens en de snelle ontwikkeling van kunstmatige intelligentie heeft ervoor gezorgd dat het werk van de politie steeds meer ‘informatiegestuurd’ en ‘datagedreven’ is. In deze bijdrage verkennen wij de bescherming van individuen en meer in het bijzonder algoritmische groepen bij de toepassing van profilering. Allereerst bespreken we de ontwikkeling en het gebruik van profilering binnen de politie. Vervolgens bekijken wij het wettelijk kader voor profilering en beschrijven wij waarom dit kader onvoldoende bescherming biedt voor de rechten en vrijheden van burgers. Ten slotte doen wij enkele suggesties voor verbetering van het huidige juridische kader. Daarbij staat het concept group privacy centraal

The generation effect of delinquency in a disappeared community with a bad reputation in West Flanders (Belgium)
Notwithstanding the rise of life course criminology during the past decades, ­sources for longitudinal research remain scarce. A neglected source are communities with a bad reputation about which a wealth of archival data is available and this over long periods. In this study the authors investigated whether the so-called generation effect can be found in a disappeared community, the so-called ‘boskanters’, who lived between 1700 and 1914 in fairly primitive conditions in West Flanders (Belgium). From the literature the authors extracted six basic findings that they tested against demographic, genealogical and judicial data found in archives. Four of the six basic findings they did confirm. In the ‘boskanters’ community, too, serious delinquency runs in the family. Although a bad reputation tainted the entire community, criminal behavior was more concentrated in some family branches than in others. Intermarriages between criminal families help to explain this transmission and concentration. Correlations with seriousness of the offenses and the delinquent profile of the mother were not confirmed or only partially. The authors also did find that women less tied to criminal families had more chances to leave that community. Overall, this study shows that historical data on local communities might be useful in understanding how criminality persists from one generation to the next.

Schending van privacy en bewijsuitsluiting in ontslagzaken
Dit artikel gaat in op de recente ontwikkelingen in de rechtspraak in de periode tussen 2020 en 2022 ten aanzien van bewijsuitsluiting in ontslagzaken op grond van privacy schendingen. Het juridische toetsingskader vanuit privacy voor onrechtmatig verkregen bewijs wordt geanalyseerd bij verschillende uitspraken. Daarnaast wordt in dit artikel beoordeeld of de bijzondere omstandigheden, die bewijsuitsluiting rechtvaardigen, een eenduidiger beeld tonen. De conclusie luidt dat naast een enkele uitzondering, er geen andere tendens in de rechtspraak is vast te stellen en bewijsuitsluiting wegens privacy schending uitzondering blijft. De bijkomende omstandigheden voor bewijsuitsluiting laten ook geen eenduidiger beeld in de rechtspraak zien. Er kan wel worden vastgesteld dat het juridische toetsingskader niet altijd even consequent wordt toegepast. Als handvat is een beslisboom opgesteld om een privacy schending, en de kans op een succesvol beroep op uitsluiting van bewijs, te toetsen.

Introduction

: Les changements dans l’accompagnement des femmes enceintes et les conditions d’accouchement en raison de la pandémie de la COVID-19 peuvent augmenter le stress vécu pendant la grossesse. Cette étude vise à examiner le stress maternel prénatal dans le contexte de la pandémie et les variables associées à ses variations.

Méthode

: 180 femmes enceintes de la province de Québec ont rapporté leur stress général, l’impact de la pandémie sur leur grossesse, leur stress par rapport à la pandémie, leurs données sociodémographiques ainsi que des informations sur leur grossesse et leur exposition à la pandémie.

Résultats

: 16 % des femmes de l’échantillon rapportent un niveau de stress général élevé, 34 % rapportent que la pandémie a un impact important sur leur grossesse et 9 % rapportent un niveau de stress élevé par rapport à la pandémie. Le jeune âge des mères, la présence d’autres enfants dans la famille, un nombre de semaines de confinement plus élevé pendant la grossesse et le fait d’avoir subi un test de dépistage pendant la grossesse sont associés à un stress global plus élevé. Les mères rapportent un impact perçu de la pandémie sur la grossesse plus élevé lorsqu’elles n’ont pas d’autres enfants, n’ont pas vécu de malaises ou de complications pendant la grossesse, ont consommé de l’alcool en période prénatale et lorsqu’un membre de leur famille immédiate a obtenu un résultat positif à la COVID-19 pendant la grossesse.

Conclusion

: Les caractéristiques des futures mères, de leur grossesse et leur exposition à la COVID-19 devraient être considérées dans l’offre de services en période prénatale et dans le suivi des enfants nés dans le contexte de la pandémie.

The present study is an attempt to make a floristic inventory in Raithan Range of Pir Panjal Forest Division of, Jammu and Kashmir India. For this purpose, a preliminary study was carried with the aim to know the diversity of flora at different altitudes ranging from 1800-2800m amsl. For study purpose the area was divided into 3 different altitudes viz - 1800m, 2300m and 2800m amsl. The reported results revealed that, a total of 136 species from 58 different families and 113 genera were recorded. Out of 136 species there are 29 tree species (belonging to 16 families), 9 shrub species (6 families), 92 herb species (33 families), 4 climber species (4 families) and 2 fern species (belonging to 2 different families). The Asteraceae and Rosaceae family were dominant in the research area, according to the data. Among different sites in the study area, site 1 (altitudinal range of 1800-2300m) showed maximum diversity of flora represented by 85 species, followed by site 2 (2300-2800m) represented by 71 species and least at site 3 (> 2800m) represented by 49 species. The study is a preliminary one and can be used for management of the species having less population for conservation and sustainable utilization.
Reactive Element‐Effect Optimized Ni–Cr–W–Al Alloy for Fabricating Robust and Fluorine‐Free Superhydrophobic Coating on Al Alloy

Published: February 2025

This study develops a readily implementable surface modification technique for Al alloys by combining electroplating alloy films with depositing stearic acid to make a durable superhydrophobic coating. Selecting Al as anode for electroplating innovatively, the introduction of Al element improves the adherence and roughness of the coating through a principle identical to the reactive element (RE) effect. Al can be preferentially combined with oxygen to reduce the partial pressure of oxygen, inhibiting outward diffusion and oxidation of the electroplated alloy components, reducing the defects formed by the outward diffusion of the metal elements and the accompanying porosity and cracks. Besides, the dense and stable nature of the oxide film formed by RE effect can better protect the Al alloy substrates from oxidation. It is shown that the crystallinity and oxidation resistance of the alloy is significantly enhanced by the RE effect. Notably, the champion water contact angle has reached 162° ± 0.7°, and a significant reduction in surface porosity is observed. This research has the potential to provide a simplified fabrication process of Ni–Cr–W alloy and pave the way for the development of durability of superhydrophobic film.
