Case Report: Symptoms and Prognosis of Trimeresurus gracilis Envenomation
Authors: Tsai Tein-Shun , Chan Yuen Ying , Huang Szu-Mien , Chuang Po-Chun 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT.
Trimeresurus gracilis is a pit viper inhabiting the high mountains of Taiwan. No specific antivenom against T. gracilis is available, and we did not find any prior published case reports on its clinical envenomation. We present two patients with T. gracilis envenomation who were both bitten on the index finger and were administered bivalent hemotoxic antivenom against Trimeresurus stejnegeri and Protobothrops mucrosquamatus. In case 1, the patient was administered seven vials of antivenom within 2 days of envenomation. She received surgical intervention on day 26 and recovered from the wound 3 months after envenomation, but her left index finger was slightly and irreversibly bent. In case 2, the patient was administered 12 vials of antivenom within 10 hours after envenomation, received surgical intervention on day 1, and underwent debridement and reconstruction surgery on day 7 after envenomation. The wounds healed 1.5 months after envenomation, and no deformity occurred. Laboratory data showed elevated D-dimer levels and prothrombin times. The cross-neutralizing ability of bivalent hemotoxic antivenom against T. stejnegeri and P. mucrosquamatus appeared insufficient to treat the local effects of T. gracilis envenomation. The deformity of the finger of the patient in case 1 might have been caused by the lower dose, later administration of antivenins, and a delay in the necessary surgery.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a severe impact on oncological and thoracic surgical practice worldwide. In many hospitals, the care of COVID-19 patients required a reduction of elective surgery, to avoid viral transmission within the hospital, and to save and preserve personnel and material resources. Cancer patients are more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and are at an increased risk of a severe course of disease. In many patients with lung cancer, this risk is further increased owing to comorbidities, older age and a pre-existing lung disease. Surgical resection is an important part of the treatment in patients with early stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, but the treatment of these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic becomes a challenging balance between the risk of patient exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and the need to provide timely and adequate cancer treatment despite limited hospital capacities. This manuscript aims to provide an overview of the surgical treatment of lung cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic including the triage and prioritisation as well as the surgical approach, and our own experience with cancer surgery during the first pandemic wave. We furthermore aim to highlight the risk and potential consequences of delayed lung cancer treatment due to the deferral of surgery, screening appointments and follow-up visits. With much attention being diverted to COVID-19, it is important to retain awareness of cancer patients, maintain oncological surgery and avoid treatment delay during the pandemic.
CASE STUDY ON SMALL LUNG CELL CARCINOMA IN A 26-YEAR-OLD MALE
Authors: Achonu Chinmeri U , Iwuchukwu Peter J , Ogunleye Ezekiel 
Published: February 2022

Introduction: A small-cell lung carcinoma is an aggressive form of lung cancer that is strongly associated with cigarette smoking and tends to early disseminate in the body. It represents about 20 per cent of all lung cancer. Increasing evidence has implicated autocrine growth loops, proto-oncogenes, and tumour-suppressor genes in its development as well as cigarette smoking, exposure to occupational carcinogens such as radon, asbestos, arsenic, crystalline silicon and benzopyrene e.t.c.
Materials and Methods: This case study reports the management of suspected small lung cell cancer in a resource-limited centre diagnosed from transthoracic pleural biopsy in a 26-year-old male who had a history of cigarette smoking from preteen years (9 years). He was stabilized at the emergency with insertion of chest tube, antibiotics, analgesics and oxygen but couldn't commence treatment for lung cancer owing to the late diagnostic test done as a result of severe financial constraints and died three weeks post-hospital admission.
Results: This case shows that early exposure to risk factors associated with lung cancer such as cigarette smoking, exposure to harmful chemicals in Plaster of Paris can lead to aggressive lung cancers like small cell lung cancer in young people.
Recommendations: Increase public awareness of tobacco smoking in all age groups, adequate healthcare financing and insurance schemes and adequate funding for small cell lung cancer research to improve and promote prevention, early detection and proper treatment of the disease.
Bird Populations Associated With an Electric Transmission Right-Of-Way
Authors: Yahner Richard H. , Hutnik Russell J. , Liscinsky Stephen A. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractA 2-year study of bird populations was conducted along a 230-kV transmission line right-of-way (ROW) in spring (June) and summer (August) 2000 and 2001. Forty-four species were observed on the ROW during 2000 and 2001. In 1987 and 1988 combined, 39 species were noted on the ROW; thus, bird populations have changed relatively little over the past 13 to 14 years. In both 2000 and 2001, slightly more species occurred on the ROW in summer (n = 26—32) than in spring (n = 25—26), and considerably fewer species were noted in the adjacent forest in both spring (n = 8—13) and summer (n = 7). Common bird species (≥50 individuals/100 ha/day) on the ROW were those adapted to brushy or early successional habitat. Most species were found in the low-volume basal spray and foliage spray units (n = 29 and 28 species, respectively), and fewest species were noted in the handcutting unit (n = 19 species). Considerably more bird species were observed in border zones than in wire zones of the ROW in 2000 and 2001 combined (n = 39 versus 17 species, respectively). Moreover, abundance of all bird species combined was nearly fourfold higher in border zones (1,530 individual birds/100 ha/day) than in wire zones (393 birds/100 ha/day). Thus, the border zone is a very important habitat for birds along a ROW, with its combination of shrub-forb-grass cover type.
The Efficacy of Micro-Injected Imidacloprid and Oxydemeton-Methyl on Red Gum Eucalyptus Trees (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) Infested With Red Gum Lerp Psyllid (Glycaspis brimblecombei)
Authors: Young Lester C. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractA stand of red gum eucalyptus trees(Eucalyptus camaldulensis)heavily infested with red gum lerp psyllid (RGLP)(Glycaspis brimblecombei)was micro-injected at crown level with a single standard treatment of imidacloprid, oxydemeton-methyl, or a combination of both. Psyllid populations were monitored for 15 months following initial treatment. Significant mortality and reduced population levels of immature RGLP occurred within 1 week following an application of all treatment materials. Oxydemeton-methyl was significantly effective, when compared to untreated trees, for approximately 2 months. Imidacloprid-treated trees showed statistically significant reduction of psyllid nymphs, compared to untreated trees, for approximately 8 months. The combination of both materials significantly reduced psyllid nymph populations for approximately 8 months. Many trees continued to show control up to 15 months with imidacloprid. However, nymph population variances among treatment trees were too high to statistically detect significant differences among treatment averages. The longer residual activity in some trees may indicate variability among individual trees sustaining levels of imidacloprid beyond 8 months.
Discoloration and Decay Associated With Hardware Installation in Trees
Authors: Kane Brian C.P. , Ryan H.D.P. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractTree support systems have been used for many years to help reduce the risk of tree failure due to weak and split crotches and from cracks in branches and trunks. Because any wound that breaks the bark of a tree initiates the decay and compartmentalization processes, new tree support systems have been designed to eliminate the need to drill holes into a tree during installation. Recent research suggests that the new systems do not injure tree parts as much as drilling holes, because drilling wounds the tree. A sample of 20 bolts of wood that had hardware previously installed was collected from arborists throughout the northeastern United States. The samples received came from trees regarded as good compart-mentalizers. Simple measurements and visual analysis indicate that decay and discoloration directly attributable to hardware installation appear not to be as severe as expected (even after 37 years in one sample). More quantitative research into physiological and mechanical aspects of tree support systems is needed to assess each system’s utility for arborists.

Missing Matthew's Political Messiah: A Closer Look at His Birth and Infancy Narratives
Authors: Baxter Wayne 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Many Christians often assume that when Matthew informs his audience that Jesus “will save his people from their sins,” the saving the Evangelist has in mind is “spiritual,” namely,the forgiveness of sins. This article contends that when Matt 1:21 is examined in its narrative and social-historical contexts, it becomes clear that Matthew envisioned a messiahwho would also save his people from the political ramifications of their sins.
On Presence: The Consultant as a Learning Model
Authors: Nevis Edwin C. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This seminal chapter appears in Edwin C. Nevis's (1987) book, Organizational Consulting: A Gestalt Approach. At the start of the chapter, Nevis states categorically that “the role of the interventionist is to provide a presence that is otherwise lacking in the client system” (69). He argues that presence is central to the Gestalt approach and key to appreciating the inherent educational model. In particular, he argues that the intervener's task is to embody and exude a way of being that demonstrates core values, healthy functioning, and what it might mean to be helpful.
“Damn you, Davenant!”: The Perils and Possibilities of Restoration Shakespeare
Authors: Payne Deborah C. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In September 2018, the Folger Theatre had the unprecedented opportunity to mount William Davenant’s multimedia redaction of Macbeth, a script that had not been staged since the eighteenth century. The resulting production, while musically adept, never quite escaped the onus of Bardbiz. To offset the perceived deficits of the script, the director, a specialist in Shakespeare productions, recast Macbeth as a play-within-a-play, a “one-time performance staged as a fundraising event for Bedlam.” The invented frame, however, created far more problems than it solved, resulting in discontinuous performance styles oftentimes not aligning with the interpolated story. An additional emphasis on pop horror proved a further distraction and failed to illuminate Davenant’s version of the story. Arguably, directors from a (post)modern theatrical background should oversee future productions of Restoration Shakespeare, being less likely to see these plays as bastardized versions of the original.
Crisis Without Anxiety: The Jacobite Moment of Ann Macklin’s Benefit Night, 23rd April 1746
Authors: Lock Georgina , Worrall David 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This essay argues that Ann Macklin’s benefit night program at Drury Lane, 23rd April 1746, on the eve that news of Culloden reached London, presents a response to the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion contradicting the thesis that national crises prompt theatricalized reactions of anxiety and insecurity. Co-produced with her husband, Charles Macklin (who wrote two new pieces for the program, including A Will and No Will), their program prominently featured other—nominally Catholic—Irish actors. One of them, William Havard, was a Jacobite proselytizer. His tragedy, King Charles I (1737), was Britain’s only regularly performed pro-Stuart drama. Conflicting with the notion that contemporary crises precipitate cross-dressing, the Macklins reduced the number of cross-dressed roles in Charles Shadwell’s, The Humours of the Army, or The Female Officer. Furthermore, Peg Woffington’s cross-dressed “Female Volunteer” epilogue had been preceded by real cross-dressed Jacobite warrior women near Inverness, hardly insecure and certainly not Hanoverian. Despite the scale of the Rebellion, a proto-nationalist rising supported by Scottish Lowlanders as much as Highlanders, Ann’s benefit program simply emphasized the good humored continuities of regional distinctiveness.

Neste artigo, procurei defender, a partir de um paradigma moral universalista, a parcialidade e/ou a existência de obrigações especiais para com os nossos conacionais e o direito à autodeterminação nacional. Para tal, analiso o modo como a questão da identidade nacional é abordado no cerne da polêmica entre universalistas e particularistas. Adotando uma perspectiva moral mais abrangente, a saber, a Perspectiva dos Funcionamentos, procuro justificar a existência de obrigações especiais para com nossos conacionais e defender o direito à autodeterminação nacional. Reconheço a demanda por autodeterminação nacional como o anseio legítimo de uma comunidade de encontrar a sua própria forma de representação política: um Estado que reflita seus valores e/o ideais, capaz de representá-los no pleito internacional.

An Assessment of the Relationship Among Cargo-Throughput, Vessel Turnaround Time and Port-Revenue in Nigeria. (A Study of Lagos Port Complex)
Authors: Buhari Sodiq Olusegun , Ndikom Obed , Theophilus Nwokdi 
Published: February 2022

A knowledge based economy remains the propeller for development in most developing nations. Adequate knowledge of the quantitative relationship among vessel turnaround-time, Cargo-throughput and revenue generated by a seaport constitute a determinant factor in forecasting the long-run financial performance of terminal operators and ports authorities. The study investigated the quantitative relationship among vessel turnaround-time, cargothroughput and port-revenue and the effect of such relationship on port performance in Nigeria. Since port performance, measureable by the level of revenue generated over time is dependent on cargo-throughput and ship turnaround-time, multiple regression method was used in analyzing the time series data of 15 years. The result of the analysis reveals a significant impact of ship turnaround-time and cargo-throughput on port-revenue. The relationship between port-revenue and each of cargo-throughput and ship turnaround-time is: Y = 106.22X1 + 55.064X2 -10753.216 + e. The study recommended improved investment in port infrastructure to improve ship turnaround-time and cargo-throughput, and maximize port-revenue.
Diegetic/Nondiegetic: A Theoretical Model
Authors: Neumeyer David 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Two pairs of terms, diegetic/nondiegetic and synchronization/counterpoint, have remained central to discussions of film music. The first of these in particular has strong connections to film studies and literary studies (specifically, narratology). A model that positions diegesis in relation to (between) spatial anchoring and narration can help sort out the shift from opposition to function and make the diegetic/nondiegetic pair more reliable for interpretation of film music.
