BACKGROUND:
Personalized body-worn alcohol dispensers may serve as an important tool for perioperative infection control, but the impact of these devices on the epidemiology of transmission of high-risk Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter (ESKAPE) pathogens is unknown. We aimed to characterize the epidemiology of ESKAPE transmission in the pediatric anesthesia work area environment with and without a personalized body-worn alcohol dispenser.

METHODS:
This controlled before and after study included 40 pediatric patients enrolled over a 1-year study period. Two groups of operating room cases were compared: (1) operating room cases caring for patients with usual care (December 17, 2019, to August 25, 2020), and (2) operating room cases caring for patients with usual care plus the addition of a personalized, body-worn alcohol hand rub dispenser (September 30, 2020, to December 16, 2020). Operating rooms were randomly selected for observation of ESKAPE transmission in both groups. Device use was tracked via wireless technology and recorded in hourly hand decontamination events.

RESULTS:
Anesthesia providers used the alcohol dispenser 3.3 ± 2.1 times per hour. A total of 57 ESKAPE transmission events (29 treatment and 28 control) were identified. The personalized body-worn alcohol dispenser impacted ESKAPE transmission by increasing the contribution of provider hand contamination at case start (21/29 device versus 10/28 usual care; relative risk, [RR] 2.03; 99.17% confidence interval [CI], 1.025–5.27; P = .0066) and decreasing the contribution of environmental contamination at case end (3/29 device versus 12/28 usual care; RR, 0.24; 99.17% CI, 0.022–0.947; P = .0059). ESKAPE pathogen contamination involved 20% (8/40) of patient intravascular devices. There were 85% (34/40) of preoperative patient skin surfaces contaminated with ≥1 (1.78 ± 0.19 [standard deviation {SD}]) ESKAPE pathogens.

CONCLUSIONS:
A personalized body-worn alcohol dispenser can impact the epidemiology of ESKAPE transmission in the pediatric anesthesia work area environment. Improved preoperative patient decolonization and vascular care are indicated to address ESKAPE pathogens among pediatric anesthesia work area reservoirs.
Understanding and modeling nerve–cancer interactions
Authors: Le Thanh T. , Oudin Madeleine J. 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
The peripheral nervous system plays an important role in cancer progression. Studies in multiple cancer types have shown that higher intratumoral nerve density is associated with poor outcomes. Peripheral nerves have been shown to directly regulate tumor cell properties, such as growth and metastasis, as well as affect the local environment by modulating angiogenesis and the immune system. In this Review, we discuss the identity of nerves in organs in the periphery where solid tumors grow, the known mechanisms by which nerve density increases in tumors, and the effects these nerves have on cancer progression. We also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of current in vitro and in vivo models used to study nerve–cancer interactions. Increased understanding of the mechanisms by which nerves impact tumor progression and the development of new approaches to study nerve–cancer interactions will facilitate the discovery of novel treatment strategies to treat cancer by targeting nerves.

Published: January 2023

Background: Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Among three H. pylori genes coding for hemolytic toxins, the clinical outcome of hp0499 and hp1490 is unclear. We conducted molecular and histological analyses to evaluate the correlation between these genes and gastritis severity. Methods: We analyzed the hp0499 and hp1490 variants of 116 Indonesian samples using next generation sequencing and validated them using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The updated Sydney system was used to grade gastritis through histological analyses. We then calculated the influence of hp0499 and hp1490 on the gastritis severity, using multivariate analysis and cagA and vacA as major H. pylori virulence factors. Results: Two variants of each gene were identified and named hp0499-1 and -2, and hp1490-1 and -2. We noted that hp0499 expression was significantly correlated with corporal atrophy (p = 0.037). H. pylori hp1490 significantly correlated with antral acute and chronic inflammation as well as corporal density (p = 0.025, p = 0.07, p = 0.010, respectively). After adjusting for age and sex, we found that vacA s1m1 was an independent risk factor for acute antral inflammation (p = 0.032). hp1490 and vacA s1m1 were independent risk factors for chronic antral inflammation (p = 0.030 and p = 0.031, respectively). Conclusions: We identified the variants hp0499-1 and -2 and hp1490-1 and -2 and demonstrated that hp0499 plays a significant role in the severity of corporal atrophy. Moreover, hp1490 was characterized as an independent risk factor for chronic inflammation in the antral region. Therefore, hp0499 and hp1490 are new potential targets for therapeutics.

Published: January 2023

Background and Aim: The Kacang goat (Capra hircus) is an indigenous livestock species in Indonesia that is at risk of extinction due to cross-breeding. Artificial insemination (AI) techniques are expected to increase the population of these goats. This study aimed to determine the addition of epigallocatechin-3-gallate chitosan nanoparticles (EGCG CNPs) to skim milk–egg yolk (SM–EY) extender to obtain the best possible quality of post-thawed Kacang buck semen for AI. Materials and Methods: Fresh Kacang buck semen was diluted in SM–EY without or with the addition of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 µg of EGCG CNPs/mL extender. Extended semen was packaged in French mini straws, frooze, and stored in liquid nitrogen at −196℃ for 24 hours. Six replicates from each treatment group were thawed for catalase, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, malondialdehyde (MDA), sperm intact plasma membrane (IPM), viability and motility analyses. Results: Post-thawed semen that was previously frozen without EGCG CNPs in the extender (control group) exhibited the lowest levels of catalase, DPPH, sperm viability, sperm motility, IPM, and the highest levels of MDA. However, the addition of EGCG CNPs at doses of 1.5 µg/mL extender increased post-thawed catalase, DPPH, sperm IPM, viability, and sperm motility and decreased MDA levels (p < 0.05) than those of control group. Conclusion: This study was the first in which EGCG CNPs were used in SM–EY extender, and the addition of only 1.0 µg/mL of EGCG CNPs in this extender increased the antioxidant capacity and post-thawed quality of Kacang buck semen.

Abstract. Putra IP, Aimi, T, Shimomura N. 2022. Short Communication: Thromboplerous hyphae of the ectomycorrhizal mushroom Rhizopogon roseolus with and without a host tree. Nusantara Bioscience 14: 47-52. Thromboplerous hyphae are modified hyphae found in the basidiocarp of many agarics. However, data on their development and function as well as on their formation in pure cultures of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms are scarce. The aim of the present study was to characterize the cytological descriptions of thromboplerous hyphae from pure cultures of Rhizopogon roseolus (Corda) Th.M. Fr. with or without the host pine tree Pinus thunbergii Parl. Thromboplerous hyphae formed on the mycelium and mycelial cords in all experimental settings. Results revealed that thromboplerous hyphae were extremely melanized, smooth, cracked on the surface, and swollen at both hyphal termini. Thromboplerous hyphae produced with a host were mainly unbranched in shape in contrast to those formed without a host that possessed additional twisted, semi-twisted, and branched forms. Some thromboplerous hyphae that grew without a host had large diameters, and few showed notable septa and clamp connections. The present study also provides evidence of the initial development of thromboplerous hyphae via vegetative hyphae and tubular hyphae. This study contributes to understanding the cytology of thromboplerous hyphae grown with and without a host tree. Further investigations on the specific functions of thromboplerous hyphae are needed to deepen the current knowledge of fungal cytology.

Abstract. Bareke T, Addi A, Roba K, Kumsa T. 2022. Effect of storage temperature and packing materials on seed germination and seed storage behavior of Schefflera abyssinica. Nusantara Bioscience 14: 141-147. Knowledge of seed storage behavior is crucial for developing appropriate ex-situ conservation strategies. The main objective of this study was to determine the seed storage behavior of Schefflera abyssinica (Hochst. ex A. Rich.). A factorial combination of three temperatures (-10, 0, and 22°C) levels, two types of packing containers (polythene bag and aluminum bag), and eight periods of storage (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 days, and for a year) level was used to determine the germination capacity and storage behavior of the seeds. Accordingly, seed storage temperatures and storage period (up to 1 year) have a significant effect on the germination (p<0.01) of S. abyssinica. The highest average germination percentage of S. abyssinica seeds was obtained after 2 months of storage under all conditions. The seed storage period influences the germination of S. abyssinica by 47.8%. The germination percentages of S. abyssinica seeds have shown significant differences in storage temperatures. Seeds stored at -10°C showed the highest germination percentage in all storage periods compared to the two storage temperatures. Generally, the highest germination capacity of S. abyssinica seeds was between 7% and 9% moisture content after 60 and 90 days of storage. Packing materials have no significant difference in the survival of seeds. No stored seeds germinated after one year of storage at room temperature, 0°C, and -10°C. Based on the definition of seed storage behavior, we conclude that seeds of S. abyssinica have intermediate storage.
(Re)thinking Critique: Transversal and Ethico-Aesthetic Dimensions in Partaking Practices
Authors: Bippus Elke 
Published: January 2023

The article examines critique in relation to current theories pursued and addressed in contemporary art and activism. The conception of a “partaking critique” seeks to conceive critique beyond universalising abstractions and totalising gestures. By reformulating critique as a partaking practice, we set ourselves in relation to the current demands and urgencies of a world that must confront the challenges of climate change, migration flows, inequalities between the global north and south, and the mistrust of democracy. We find it important that critique results not merely in a judging and condemning analysis and the division between correct and false. A “partaking critique” deals with historical conditions and traditional formulations of critique. Critique as a partaking practice is situated, local, transversal, and reparative, and thus mobilises dispositions to act in a panorama of neo-liberal mechanisms of paralysis and paranoia.
We developed our understanding of critique based on our engagement with critical examples at the crossroads of artistic and activist practices, such as Colectivo Situaciones, which in the scope of this article can only be briefly presented. We queried, shifted and transformed the concept of critique employing discourse analysis and a close reading of critical (queer)feminist concepts of the late 1980s. The perspectives taken by Donna Haraway and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick allow us to place the focus not on negative critique but on instituent and transversal processes, and thus on rethinking the transformative potentials of ethico-aesthetic practices.
The current socio-political and ecological challenges require a thinking that transverses and queers traditional valorisations of critique: we do not offer a universal, objective and strong theory, but instead favour categories of partiality, situatedness and responsibility. Critique as a practice of partaking is communicated not as the judgement of a critical subject, but in, through and with instituent processes as well as in materialities.
The Artwork as Assemblage. New Materialist Perspectives on Aesthetics
Authors: Ohls Hauke 
Published: January 2023

To analyse an artwork using the philosophical theory of the assemblage is to expand one’s view of how artworks can be interpreted. In the various and often wildly differing concepts of new materialism, the assemblage acts as a way of describing the agency of matter in general. Following Deleuze and Guattari, who provided various definitions of the assemblage, the new materialist perspectives emphasize, for example, the active linking of heterogeneous parts and a dynamic conjunction of semi-autonomous formations that articulate new affiliations of entities and discourses.
In this essay, Xinhao Cheng’s multimedia installation The Naming of a River, 2014 to 2018, is described as an assemblage, thereby significantly widening how it is interpreted as the artwork. Cheng describes the manifolds of time-space-dimensions in his simultaneously scientific and deeply personal artistic research project on the Panlong River.
In the context of an assembled assemblage theory, formed by combining new materialist perspectives, The Naming of a River can be thought of as existing in an innumerable manifold of different versions. With each new connection made, the entire artwork changes completely. The relations exist not only between the material artefacts of the installation and the artist, but also between the institution, the recipients, and the river. The artwork is a self-productive setting that transcends spaces and times, an interpretation derived from approaches by Manuel DeLanda and Karen Barad. In this process, our understanding of what an artwork can be is significantly challenged.
Cuando se educa hay que saber desde dónde se habla
Authors: Pagès Santacana Anna 
Published: January 2023

Este texto sugiere la conveniencia de entender la educación no sólo desde una perspectiva pragmatista sino de un modo más amplio como experiencia. Para facilitar esta perspectiva se destacan algunos aspectos del libro de Gadamer Verdad y método: la crisis de la transmisión, la historicidad de la experiencia -el hecho de que todo fenómeno humano, también la educación, tiene que ver con el lugar desde donde es construido-, los límites de la experiencia, los límites del discurso sobre el mundo, la cuestión del estilo. El artículo insiste especialmente en rescatar la conversación en contextos educativos, la conversación entendida como el lugar desde done uno habla y el sentido de lo que se dice y también la dimensión no prevista en lo que decimos. No hay una fusión de horizontes que haga encajar perfectamente los objetivos y los resultados de aprendizaje. Hay que pensar en los flecos, en el rastro que dejan, en lo que se queda fuera de lugar. Por eso, el texto propone una hermenéutica a la intemperie. Otro aspecto del artículo es que la política no nos sirve para entender la educación como experiencia porque la política se ha convertido en una mera gestión administrativa donde no hay otro con quien hablar. Se insiste en la idea de que la educación no puede con todo. Hay una sobreexplotación del sistema educativo. No todo se puede aprender. Hay cosas que se pueden vivir o que se pueden experimentar pero que no necesariamente se aprenden. Por eso, el artículo propone que el gran reto de la Pedagogía actual es ayunar, dedicarse a dos o tres cosas nada más y hacerlas bien.
Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index and Nomogram for Predicting the Risk of Postoperative Complications in Patients With Crohn's Disease
Authors: Zhang Chen , Zhang Tianyu , Shen Ziyun , Zhong Jie , Wang Zhengting 
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at a high risk of having postoperative complications. Preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been extensively studied for postoperative complications in malignancies but seldom for CD.

METHODS:
Patients who underwent CD-related bowel surgery for the first time in our hospital were retrospectively enrolled from January 2013 to October 2019. Differences in clinical features in low-PNI (≤34) and high-PNI (>34) groups were compared. A prognostic nomogram was then established to explore the risk factors and their assignments of postoperative complications.

RESULTS:
A total of 124 patients who underwent CD-related bowel surgery in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2019 were enrolled. Of these patients, 39 (31.5%) were categorized in the low-PNI group. The serum albumin levels (23.4 ± 4.8 vs 35.8 ± 5.2 g/L, P < 0.001), hemoglobin levels (98.0 ± 24.1 vs 115.8 ± 22.2 g/L, P < 0.001), and white blood cell counts (8.3 ± 5.4 × 109 vs 6.3 ± 3.0 × 109, P = 0.009) of the patients in the low-PNI group were lower than those in the high-PNI group. Postoperative complications were observed in 35 cases of the total cohort, 20 of 39 (51.3%) in the low-PNI group, and 15 of 85 (17.6%) in the high-PNI group (P < 0.001). A prognostic nomogram was built through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. The nomogram revealed a significant difference in the length of postoperative stay between patients with high-risk postoperative complications and those with low-risk postoperative complications (17.07 ± 24.73 vs 10.36 ± 4.51, P = 0.02).

DISCUSSION:
PNI is closely associated with postoperative complications in patients with CD. Its inclusion in a prognostic nomogram provides a convenient mechanism to predict postoperative complications in patients with CD undergoing surgery.
Proveana – Eine Datenbank für die Provenienzforschung am Deutschen Zentrum Kulturgutverluste
Authors: Werner Sabrina 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The Proveana database for provenance research is a new service of the German Lost Art Foundation in Magdeburg. Complementing the Lost Art database for the documentation of cultural assets which were displaced or relocated as a result of the events of World War II, the centre has released the new database in 2020 to support provenance research through documenting historical information from four different provenance research areas on cultural assets seized due to national socialist persecution (Nazi-looted art), cultural assets displaced during wartime (war booty), cultural assets seized in the Soviet-occupied zone and the GDR, as well as cultural assets and collections from colonial contexts, thereby making it more transparent and contributing to the solution of unresolved cases.
Strukturdatenerfassung in den Zentralen Fachbibliotheken – Nutzerbedürfnisse und Effizienz

Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Bei der Retrodigitalisierung ist zu klären, welche Tiefe der Strukturdatenerschließung bereitgestellt wird. Die muss sich an den Nutzerbedürfnissen orientieren, aber auch der Ressourceneinsatz ist zu betrachten. Die Zentralen Fachbibliotheken sind für sehr unterschiedliche Fächer zuständig. Ein Blick auf die Unterschiede bei der Strukturdatenerfassung in den einzelnen Häusern stellt dar, wie unterschiedliche Konzepte aussehen können. Eine Umfrage der ZBW zeigt, was deren Zielgruppe unter der Fragestellung, ob Strukturdaten erfasst und dafür weniger Digitalisate erstellt werden sollten oder umgekehrt, als Wunsch geäußert hat.
Extend the context! Measuring explicit and implicit populism on three different textual levels
Authors: Tóth Tamás , Goyanes Manuel , Demeter Márton 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper focuses on a methodological question regarding a content analysis tool in populism studies, namely the explicit and implicit populism approach. The study argues that scholars adopting this approach need to conduct content analysis simultaneously on different coding unit lengths, because the ratio of explicit and implicit messages varies significantly between units such as single sentences and paragraphs. While an explicit populist message consists of at least one articulated dichotomy between the “good” people and the “harmful” others, implicit populism implies that only one of the core features of the populist style is present: either people-centrism or antagonism. Due to the often fractured and occasionally dichotomous nature of populist styles, this research revolves around the idea that the explicit and implicit populist content analysis method should be performed on coding units of different lengths, as these units can yield significantly different results in the detection of populist styles. Hybrid content and statistical analyses were operationalized to scrutinize to what extent explicit, implicit, or non-populist styles change in three coding unit types with diverging lengths. The outcome supports the following suggestion: Explicit and implicit populism demand scrutiny simultaneously on one narrow and one extended textual unit.
A generalization of practical stability of nonlinear impulsive systems
Authors: Ghanmi Boulbaba 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new type of stability for nonlinear impulsive systems of differential equations, namely practical h-stability. By using
the Lyapunov stability theory, some sufficient conditions which guarantee practical h-stability are established. Our original results generalize well-known fundamental stability results, practical stability, practical exponential stability and practical asymptotic stability for nonlinear time-varying impulsive systems. Then two classes of nonlinear impulsive systems, namely perturbed and cascaded impulsive systems, are discussed. Furthermore, the problem of practical h-stabilization for certain classes of nonlinear impulsive systems is considered. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
