Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition that is often overlooked as a result of its nonspecific symptoms. It is usually presented with nausea, bloating, abdominal postprandial pain, and weight loss. The diagnosis of MALS is usually delayed and made by excluding other causes for the symptoms. The diagnosis of this syndrome is based on clinical presentation and radiological findings on computer tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Surgery is treatment of choice, with promising results from laparoscopic surgery.

As a homo conflicus creature, humans cannot avoid conflict. Conflict is a part of human life that inspire literary writer to write story. The novel Burung Kayu (Wood Bird, 2021) by Niduparas Erlang set in a region in Mentawai, North Sumatera, and expresses social conflicts that reflect the local situation. This article discusses three issues related to the novel, including (1) how is the structure of the novel Burung Kayu by Niduparas Erlang related to plot, characterization, and setting; (2) how is the representation of social conflict in Burung Kayu by Niduparas Erlang; (3) what is the meaning of the representation of social conflict in the novel Burung Kayu by Niduparas Erlang. The theory used is the theory of social conflict from the view of Lewis A. Coser, besides that, the theory of structure from the view of Stanton is used to examine the structure of the novel Burung Kayu. The data was collected using the literature study method with reading, listening, and note-taking techniques. Data analysis was carried out by interpretive descriptive method. Based on the analysis results of the novel Burung Kayu by Niduparas Erlang, it is built on conventional plots and flashbacks, the characterizations consist of main and complementary characters, then the setting is divided into place, time, atmosphere, and social. All of these elements are intertwined in the inter-element relationship and reflected social conflict of community where the story is set.

Objective: At Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM), point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is taught to medical students in conjunction with trained medical student teaching assistants (TAs). The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of near peer teaching in the setting of ultrasound education. We hypothesized that this would be the preferred learning technique among TCOM students and TAs. Methods: To evaluate our hypotheses about the value of near peer instruction, we created two comprehensive surveys for students to share their experiences with the ultrasound program. One survey was for general students and the other survey was for students designated as TAs. The surveys were sent via email to second and third-year medical students. Results: General Student Population Survey Results: Of the 63 students who took the survey, 90.4% agreed that ultrasound is an integral part of medical education, 79.4% of students either agreed or strongly agreed that ultrasound improves their understanding of systems-based course material, 53.9% of students prefer near peer techniques over other teaching methods, while only 38.7% of students would prefer faculty-led sessions. 73% of students agreed that their ultrasound skills have improved with peer-led sessions, 71.4% of students agreed that peer-led sessions have made them want to pursue additional ultrasound training, and 96.8% of students report that they are very likely or somewhat likely to use POCUS in their future practice. Ultrasound Teaching Assistant Survey Results: Nineteen TAs responded to the survey, of which 78.9% assisted with more than 4 teaching sessions, 84.2% attended more than 4 TA training sessions, 94.7% reported spending additional time practicing ultrasound outside of TA activities each week, 100% agreed or strongly agreed that being an ultrasound TA has helped their medical education, and 78.9% either agreed or strongly agreed that they feel competent in their ultrasound skills. Among TAs, 78.9% preferred near peer techniques over other teaching methods, 100% agreed or strongly agreed that being a TA has helped develop their ultrasound skills, and 100% were likely or very likely to use POCUS in their future practice. Conclusions: Based on the results of our surveys, we were able to conclude that near peer teaching is the preferred learning method among students at our institution, and TCOM students found ultrasound to be a beneficial adjunct to systems courses in medical school education.

Objectives: Not all labor and delivery floors are equipped with ultrasound machines which can serve the needs of both obstetricians and anesthesiologists. This cross-sectional, blinded, randomized observational study compares the image resolution (RES), detail (DET), and quality (IQ) acquired by a handheld ultrasound, the Butterfly iQ, and a mid-range mobile device, the Sonosite M-turbo US (SU), to evaluate their use as a shared resource. Methods: Seventy-four pairs of ultrasound images were obtained for different imaging purposes: 29 for spine (Sp), 15 for transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and 30 for diagnostic obstetrics (OB) purposes. Each location was scanned by both the handheld and mid-range machine, resulting in 148 images. The images were graded by three blinded experienced sonographers on a 10-point Likert scale. Results: The mean difference for Sp imaging favored the handheld device (RES: -0.6 [(95% CI -1.1, -0.1), p = 0.017], DET: -0.8 [(95% CI -1.2, -0.3), p = 0.001] and IQ: -0.9 [95% CI-1.3, -0.4, p = 0.001]). For the TAP images, there was no statistical difference in RES or IQ, but DET was favored in the handheld device (-0.8 [(95% CI-1.2, -0.5), p < 0.001]). For OB images, the SU was favored over the handheld device with RES, DET and IQ with mean differences of 1.7 [(95% CI 1.2, 2.1), p < 0.001], 1.6 [(95% CI 1.2, 2.0], p < 0.001] and 1.1 [(95% CI 0.7, 1.5]), p < 0.001), respectively. Conclusions: Where resources are limited, a handheld ultrasound may be considered as a potential low-cost alternative to a more expensive ultrasound machine for point of care ultrasonography, better suited to anesthetic vs. diagnostic obstetrical indications.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: In the Emergency Department (ED), a thorough cardiovascular evaluation cannot be accomplished only with physical examination. E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS) measure through Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been used to evaluate systolic function in echocardiography. We analyzed EPSS for diagnosis of Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction <50% and ≤40% in ED patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a convenience sample of patients presenting to ED with chest pain or dyspnea who underwent admission POCUS evaluation by Internal Medicine Specialist unaware of Transthoracic Echocardiogram. Accuracy was assessed with sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios (LR) and Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. The best cut off point was calculated using Youden Index. Results: Ninety-six patients were included. Median EPSS and LVEF were 10mm and 41% respectively. Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC-ROC) to diagnose a LVEF <50% was 0.90 (IC95% 0.84-0.97). Youden Index was 0.71 with cut off point EPSS at 9.5mm, performing with a sensitivity of 0.80, a specificity of 0.91, a positive LR of 9.8 and a negative LR of 0.2. AUC-ROC to diagnose a LVEF ≤40% was 0.91 (IC95% 0.85-0.97). Youden Index was 0.71 with a cut off point EPSS at 9.5mm, performing with a sensitivity of 0.91 and specificity of 0.80, a positive LR of 4.7 and a negative LR of 0.1. Conclusion: EPSS can reliably diagnose reduced LVEF in a set of ED patients with cardiovascular symptoms. A cut off point at 9.5 mm has good sensitivity, specificity and Likelihood ratios.
«Vicious» or «selected»? The linguosemantics of dispondee ending in Cicero's In Catilinam
Authors: Koshevskaya Anna Yur'evna 
Published: April 2022

This article is devoted to the study of "heavy" clauses, i.e. the rhythmics of dyspondee [– – – x], molossus and spondee [– – – – x] and creticus and molossus [– &#7447; – – – x ] at the end of the period in classical Latin prose on the material of Cicero's speeches "Against Catilina". The first paragraph, containing a brief outline of the history of the study of metric clauses, is generally devoted to two different approaches to the study of such rhythmic structures, namely the method of A. Bornecque, who called such clauses "vicious" and subjected some of them to conjuncture, and the teaching of Th. Zielinski, who distinguished them into a special class of "selected". As a result, the question of an alternative approach to the study of clauses is raised. В The second paragraph contains an analysis of the dyspondean clauses in Cicero's speeches "Against Catilina" regarding the frequency and place of their use in pericopes; the analysis uses a new methodology for studying the rhythm of prose developed by the author of the article. The relatively high frequency of heavy clauses indicates their essential role in the rhythmic organization of the text, and Cicero's desire to avoid such clauses at the end of super-phrasal units indicates their associative connection with the continuation of thought. Based on the data obtained, conclusions are drawn about the specific role of "heavy" clauses in the logical division of the text, which indicates the truth of Zielinski's theory.

Published: April 2022

Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to assess the volumetric changes in the nasal and pharyngeal airway volume in patients with maxillary transverse deficiency treated with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances.

Material and Methods:
The pre- and post-treatment cone-beam computed tomography scans of 20 subjects who underwent treatment with the MARPE appliance as part of their orthodontic treatment were included in the study. Pre- and post-expansion airway volume measurements of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and oropharynx were measured. Linear measurements of the skeletal structures surrounding the nasal cavity were taken to assess the pattern of airway expansion. Paired t-tests were used to evaluate nasal and pharyngeal airway volume changes with expansion. Pearson correlation test was utilized to assess the relationship between nasal and pharyngeal volume changes.

Results:
A total of 17 out of 20 samples had a successful split of the mid-palatal sutures. A significant increase in nasal airway volume (12.0%) was found post-expansion. In addition, a significant increase in linear measurements of the nasal cavity base width in the frontal plane (7.1%) and both the anterior and posterior widths in the transverse dimension (9.4% and 3.4%, respectively) were found. Significant positive correlations were found between airway volumes and increase in width of the maxillary expansion appliance.

Conclusion:
The effects of maxillary expansion with a MARPE appliance include an increase in nasal cavity volume, but not the nasopharyngeal and the oropharyngeal airway volume. The nasal cavity expands in a triangular pattern in both the frontal and transverse dimensions following orthopedic expansion with the MARPE appliance. Increase in airway volume is a result of the increase in width of the maxillary expansion appliance.
Traumatic cervical spine injury due to pole dance accident: A potentially catastrophic unreported injury with a happy ending. Case report and literature review
Authors: Yurac Ratko , Zamorano Juan Jose , Marre Andrea , Diaz Cristian 
Published: April 2022

Background:
Pole dancing is a sport that has become very popular. However, there is scarce literature on injuries associated with this sport. Here, we present a 23-year-old female who sustained a traumatic C4-C5 vertex cervical spine injury caused by a fall of 1 m while practicing pole dancing in an inverted position, requiring a 360 decompression/fusion.

Case Description:
A 23-year-old female sustained a 1 m fall in an inverted position while pole dancing resulting in a direct axial impact to the head. She developed the rapid onset of quadriparesis that was attributed to the emergent CT/MR-documented cervical flexodisruptive luxofracture (AOSpine C4-C5 fracture: C, F4 unilateral, N3, M2). Four hours post injury, she underwent a C4-C5 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Four days later, a posterior fusion was performed to add to the stabilization. Six years later, the patient remains neurologically intact.

Conclusion:
Pole dance is an emerging sport which carries a risk of cervical spine injury.

Исследования в области совершенствования системы прогнозирования последствий аварий в резервуарных парках магистральных нефте- и нефтепродуктопроводов имеют очевидную важность и практическую значимость. В данной статье представлена методика и результаты численного моделирования разрушения резервуара: оценка гидродинамического воздействия волны прорыва в зависимости от заданных параметров (расстояния от образующей резервуара до защитной стенки каре, высоты защитной стенки, продукта хранения) и объема возможного перелива через границы ограждения в случае сохранения несущей способности стенки каре. Установлено, что при полном разрушении резервуара на защитную стенку каре воздействуют экстремальные гидродинамические нагрузки. На основе анализа распределения нагрузок и других факторов, влияющих на несущую способность стенки резервуара, уточнена модель разрушения для дальнейших исследований (расчетов несущей способности стенки каре и моделирования разлива с учетом рельефа местности посредством ГИС-технологий) - разгерметизация резервуара в виде частичного раскрытия стенки в первом поясе. Целесообразность уточнения модели обоснована дополнительными численными расчетами.
Studies in the area of improving the prediction system for consequences of possible accidents in tank farms are extremely important and practically significant. This paper presents a methodology and results of tank fracture numerical simulation: evaluating outbreak wave hydrodynamic effects depending on specified parameters (distance from the tank generatrix to the protective tank ditch wall, protective wall height, stored products) and volume of possible overflow over safeguard boundaries in case of conservation of the ditch wall bearing strength. It was established that in case of tank complete failure, extreme hydrodynamic loads effect on the protective ditch wall. Based on analysis of loads distribution and other factors, which influence the tank wall bearing strength, a failure model is refined for further studies (ditch wall bearing strength calculation and spill simulation with account of relief using GIS-technologies) - tank loss of containment in the form of partial wall opening in the first ring. Expediency of model refinement is justified by additional numerical calculations.

Currently, due to the low production of eggs in Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, most eggs on the market are brought in from other region. Despite it’s huge population, representing 24,6% population of Nusa Tenggara Barat, East Lombok could supply 2% of market demand at most. The high cost of chicken coop construction is one of the main reasons of this low production. Meanwhile, Bamboo is abundant in East Lombok, it’s thrive along Tojang River Bank. Bamboo could be use as substitute material for battery cages. Cost production of battery cages from bamboo is relatively lower than the one made from hardwood, steel, light steel, and baton. Considering accessible substitute materials at lower price are available, the cost production could be reduced. This community service is aiming for local community cognition of local bamboo as low priced material. This community service is implemented by discourse, which done by a number of survey, survey of the community service location, and discourse to give information of how to utilize local bamboo as battery cages material, size of the cages including size of individual cage, gap between column, column’s height, local bamboo as material for frame and purlin, bamboo as economy and environmental friendly material, preservation method, suitable bamboo joint model for battery cages structure. Due to COVID-19, The battery cages constructed in the community service location was evaluated through zoom meeting.
Beyond Symbolic Representation

Published: April 2022

Victor Turner’s celebrated work The Ritual Process published in 1969 provided a radically new perspective on the study of ritual. It was a major departure from the dominant theoretical schools of the time that had discussed ritual primarily in terms of representation, reproduction, or mystification. In Turner’s thinking ritual was re-conceived as a crucible for the emergence of original meaning, of new ways of structuring relations and for reorienting experience. Moreover, his concern reached well beyond the exploration of ritual as such and was ultimately aimed at the understanding of the possibilities and potentialities of human being. This article focuses on Turner’s major contribution to the study of ritual and attempts to extend in some ways the direction to which the path that he blazed was leading. Ideas concerning the dynamics and virtuality of ritual are developed in relation to Turner’s concepts of process and liminality.

Exploring the Work of Victor Turner
Authors: Turner Edith 
Published: April 2022

Victor Turner broke anthropology free from cultural determinism when it was anchored in the reductionist theories of Durkheim. Like Tolstoy in his recognition of the origin of violence in government, Turner recognized the origin of the denaturing of cultures in culture’s own penchant for the building of social structures in order to perpetuate itself. He saw in the cracks between structures, and in the liminal gaps necessary for changes in structure, the revival of the lost immediacy of social relationships and the communitas that is its mark. Nowadays one may include signs of spirituality in those gaps, although that spirituality has been a topic previously tabooed in anthropological circles or hidden under structural analysis. Turner saw the inconvenient truth that if structuralism as a value and philosophy (plus what we now see as the violence inseparable from the political state, along with neoconservatism and neoliberalism—business doctrines multiplied by themselves ad infinitem) were to continue as the world’s philosophy, we would continue with wars and the smothering of the natural flexibility of social intercourse (see Robert Putnam 2000, who shows in stark figures how sociality in general is losing ground in our era).
