Comparative study on gasless laparoscopy using a new device versus conventional laparoscopy for surgical management of postmenopausal patients
Authors: Hwang Jong Ha , Kim Bo Wook 
Published: June 2022

Objective:
To compare gasless laparoscopy with conventional laparoscopy for the surgical management of postmenopausal patients.

Methods:
The medical records of 80 postmenopausal patients who underwent laparoscopic surgeries between February 2016 and February 2020 were reviewed. Forty patients underwent gasless laparoscopy and 40 patients underwent conventional single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy. The two groups were compared in terms of surgical outcomes.

Results:
Of 80 patients, 42 underwent adnexal surgeries and 38 underwent uterine surgeries such as total hysterectomy or myomectomy. Between the gasless SPA and conventional SPA laparoscopic groups, no significant differences were observed in terms of age, body mass index, parity or history of previous abdominal surgery. The mean retraction setup time from skin incision was 6.8 ± 1.2 min with gasless laparoscopic surgery. There was no significant difference in mean total operation times for the gasless (71.3 ± 31.4 min) and conventional (82.5 ± 36.4 min) groups. There was also no significant difference between the groups in terms of operation type, laparotomy conversion rate or duration of hospitalisation. There were no major complications in either group.

Conclusions:
Gasless laparoscopy is a safe and feasible alternative to conventional laparoscopy for postmenopausal women.

Background

and
Objectives: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most common vaginal infections during fertile period of women. An increase in the prevalence of non-albicans Candida which are resistant to commonly used antifungals has been documented. Therefore, studying the antifungal susceptibility pattern of the causative agents is of great significance in successfully treating the ailment and understanding the local data.

Materials and Methods:
Forty-six Candida spp. isolated from VVC patients were subjected to antifungal minimum inhibitory concentration testing for itraconazole, fluconazole, and voriconazole using E-test method.

Results:

Candida albicans and Candida glabrata showed 87.8% and 60% sensitivity, respectively, to itraconazole. Twenty percent of Candida parapsilosis and 40% of C. glabrata were resistant to fluconazole. Voriconazole showed higher sensitivity with 0.013 μg/ml as the minimum concentration to inhibit all Candida spp. C. glabrata noted higher minimum inhibitory concentrations against itraconazole, fluconazole, and voriconazole.

Interpretation and Conclusion:
Voriconazole is the drug of choice in case of fluconazole treatment failure among VVC.

Molecular subtypes of breast carcinoma and its relation with clinicopathological features: A single centre initial experience.

Background:
Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy in female in the world. They are a group of heterogenous diseases with diverse clinical, morphological and gene expression profile. Molecular subtyping of histological types of breast carcinomas based on the expression receptors estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), HER2 neu and Ki67 act as a surrogate marker for gene expression profiling. This helps in specific prognostic and predictive targeted therapy.

Objective:
Identification of various molecular subtypes and correlate with the clinicopathological parameters.

Methods:
This cross sectional study comprising of thirty four cases is conducted at Department of Pathology, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal during a period of three years from August 2016 to July 2019. The histomorphological diagnosis and clinical parameters are correlated with immunohistochemical findings for ER, PR, Her2 Neu and Ki 67. Statistical analysis done by chi square test.

Results:
The commonest histological type is invasive carcinoma of no special type (88.2%). After molecular sub typing, Luminal B type (LUMB) is the most common type (38.2%). LUMA type found to be associated with smaller tumor size, grade 1-2 and seen mainly in 6rd and 7th decade of life. LUMB and Her-2 Neu enriched, triple negative type commonly associated with larger tumor size, grade 2-3 and seen in 4th to 6th decade of life.

Conclusion:
Some differences in clinicopathological profile of the molecular subtypes from other studies seen. A larger multicentric study with genetic analysis will help in understanding the disease pattern in our area helping in targeted and personalized treatment.
Recovery rate, haematological parameters and growth responses of Heterobranchus longifilis exposed to zinc oxide nanoparticles
Authors: Abdulkareem S.I. , Owolabi O.D 
Published: June 2022

The present study investigated the toxicity effects of zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnO-NPs) on haematological parameters and growth responses of Heterobranchus longifilis. Catfish juveniles were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations (0.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 mg/l) of zinc oxide nano-particles in static renewal bioassays for 60 days. The ZnO-NPs-exposed fish were then subjected to depuration phase for 30 days to monitor the recovery ability of the fish. After each experimental stage, fish were sacrificed and blood was collected for haematological variables such as: erythrocytes {Red blood cells (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (HB)} and leucocytes {White blood cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), lymphocyte (LYMPH) and neutrophil (NEUT)} using standard procedure. Results revealed reduction (p < 0.05) in the values of RBC counts (0.70 x 106 /µl) in 10.00 and 12.00mg/l ZnO-NPs treated fish when compared to control group (3.70 x 106 /µl). A reverse trend was observed with significantly (p < 0.05) high WBC counts (220.70 x 103 /µl) in group treated with the highest concentration (12.00mg/l) of ZnO-NPs after 60 days of exposure. The recovery experiment followed a different trend with a gradual decrease in RBC values from 2.2 x 106 /µl in 6.00mg/l to 2.00 x 106 /µl in 12.00mg/l while WBC counts increased from 182.00 x 103 /µl in 6.00 mg/l to 194.30 x 103 /µl in 12.00mg/l. The highest percentage weight gain (58%) was recorded in the control group with the lowest (26%) in the ZnO-NPs-exposed group. However, fish growth increased as the depuration period increased. The results of this findings indicated that ZnO-NPs may have some adverse effects on the physiology of H. longifilis, however, the fish showed some ability to recover from the effects over time.

Este estudio es producto de un proceso de análisis documental, cuyo propósito fue disertar comprensivamente la importancia de la atención educativa de calidad en los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales, que praxiológicamente va a ser equitativa e inclusiva cuando el docente se adentre en la neurociencia. Fue necesario discurrir en las concepciones teóricas referidas a la atención educativa de las necesidades educativas especiales, a partir de la neurociencia: estilos de aprendizaje, el cómo aprender, la gimnasia cerebral y la neurodidáctica para aprender a aprender. Finalmente, las reflexiones apuntan a considerar que todos los educandos tienen capacidades, intereses, ritmos, motivaciones y experiencias diversas para aprender a aprender, porque cada ser humano es único, pero en su totalidad se interconecta con otros mediante los procesos neuronales, que son espejos recíprocos, lo que favorece la curiosidad y motivación por el saber, entretejiendo lo aprendido con el sentido de lo que se va enseñando.
A two-step merging strategy for incorporating multi-source precipitation products and gauge observations using machine learning classification and regression over China
Authors: Lei Huajin , Zhao Hongyu , Ao Tianqi 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Although many multi-source precipitation products (MSPs) with high
spatiotemporal resolution have been extensively used in water cycle
research, they are still subject to various biases, including false alarm
and missed bias. Precipitation merging technology is an effective means to
alleviate this uncertainty. However, how to efficiently improve precipitation detection efficiency and precipitation intensity simultaneously is a problem worth exploring. This study presents a two-step
merging strategy based on machine learning (ML) algorithms, including
gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and random forest (RF). It incorporates six state-of-the-art MSPs (GSMaP, IMERG, PERSIANN-CDR, CMORPH, CHIRPS, and ERA5-Land) and rain gauges to improve the accuracy of precipitation identification and estimation from 2000 to 2017 over China. Multiple environment variables and spatial autocorrelation are combined in the merging process. The strategy first employs classification models to identify wet and dry days and then combines regression models to predict precipitation amounts based on classified wet days. The merged results are compared with traditional methods, including multiple linear regression (MLR), ML regression models, and gauge-based Kriging interpolation. A total of 1680 (70 %) rain gauges are randomly chosen for model training and 692 (30 %) for performance evaluation. The results show that (1) the multi-source merged precipitation products (MSMPs) outperformed all original MSPs in terms of statistical and categorical metrics, which substantially alleviates the temporal and spatial biases. The modified Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE), critical success index (CSI), and Heidke Skill Score (HSS) of original MSPs are improved by 15 %–85 %, 17 %–155 %, and 21 %–166 %, respectively. (2) The spatial autocorrelation plays a significant role in precipitation merging, which considerably improves the model accuracy. (3) The performance of MSMPs obtained by the proposed method is superior to MLR, Kriging interpolation, and ML regression models. The XGBoost algorithm is recommended more for large-scale data merging owing to its high computational efficiency. (4) The two-step merging strategy performs better when higher-density gauges are used to model training. However, it has strong robustness and can also obtain better performance than original MSPs even when the gauge number is reduced to 10 % (237). This study provides an accurate and reliable method to improve precipitation detection accuracy under complex climatic and topographic conditions. It could be applied to other areas well if rain gauges are available.

Transcribing Form: The Ekphrastic Image in Interwar British Art Journals
Authors: Hatchwell Sophie 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Photographs of sculpture in interwar British art journals played a key role in the articulation and dissemination of abstract aesthetics. Through comparative analysis of the journals Axis (1935–1937) and Circle (1937), this article argues for the historiographical significance of such editorial presentations of sculpture, by demonstrating the central role these publications played in furthering interwar aesthetic debates. Axis and Circle were responsible for developing particular visual and verbal conventions for representing abstract art in print, influencing subsequent art-historical publications. This article traces the journals’ construction of these conventions and shows how an interplay between text and image foregrounded the aesthetic ideas they wished to convey. Image and text function ekphrastically in Axis and Circle, prompting an active form of reading that shows the reader not just what abstract art should look like, but what it should be like to encounter it. The significance of this is three-fold: first, it provides a precise chronology for the development of specific conventions for representing abstract sculpture in print. Second, it highlights the phenomenological potential of modernist art journals. Finally, it shows how the study of journals can further art-historical knowledge and understanding of the development and dissemination of abstract aesthetics.
“in itself a work of art”: Word-Image Encounters in Ray: Art Miscellany
Authors: Baird Nicola 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Ray: Art Miscellany was founded, edited, and published by Sidney James Hunt, a British painter, poet, and draughtsman, between 1926 and 1927. Ray was the first little magazine in England to introduce readers to the work of European and international avant-garde artists, including Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, Naum Gabo, and László Moholy-Nagy, and might be regarded as the only English equivalent of such influential publications as Der Sturm, De Stijl, and Mécano. Building on recent work as well as previous critical efforts, I conduct a detailed study of Ray’s adventurous content and design by way of a series of close visual and textual analyses. Essentially combinatorial, Hunt’s idiosyncratic aesthetic project can be characterized by its compositeness and cut and mix quality. As a result, terms and concepts borrowed from art history, critical theory, and art practice, namely assemblage and collage, allow for the exploration of the numerous eclectic encounters between word and image found within the pages of Ray.
Culture and conduct of fatherhood in India
Authors: Gupta Bashabi , Srivastava Anjula 
Published: June 2022

The paper aims to add to the scant fatherhood literature in Asia and focuses on the link between culture and conduct of fatherhood in India. The specific objectives of the research are to: (1) explore men’s perception of an ideal father (culture), (2) study men’s participation in parenting (conduct), and (3) examine whether men’s behaviour is in accordance with the beliefs. Using data gathered through semi-structured interviews with 350 fathers of children aged zero to 10 years in Mumbai, India, the results indicate that although the notion of fatherhood is changing, a sizeable proportion of men still see ‘ideal’ fathers in the traditional role of surety, economic provider and/or role model. The actual role performance of fathers is not always consistent with their perception of ideal fatherhood. Identifying the gap between fatherhood ideology and practice and, its correlates may help motivate fathers for increased involvement in day-to-day family work.
Narration, Voice, and Character in the Soundtrack to David Fincher's Gone Girl
Authors: Penoyer-Kulin Trevor 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This article looks at how the soundtrack for the movie Gone Girl operates on several different narratological levels: it represents characters, it expresses character psychology, and sometimes even seems controlled by one particular character. In this way, it informs how we read the dynamic between the film's two married protagonists.
Just Machines
Authors: Castro Clinton 
Published: June 2022

AbstractA number of findings in the field of machine learning have given rise to questions about what it means for automated scoring- or decision-making systems to be fair. One center of gravity in this discussion is whether such systems ought to satisfy classification parity (which requires parity in predictive performance across groups, defined by protected attributes) or calibration (which requires similar predictions to have similar meanings across groups, defined by protected attributes). Central to this discussion are impossibility results, which show that classification parity and calibration are often incompatible. This paper aims to argue that classification parity, calibration, and a newer, interesting measure called counterfactual fairness are unsatisfactory measures of fairness, offer a general diagnosis of the failure of these measures, and sketch an alternative approach to understanding fairness in machine learning.
Brentano's Fallacy: Moore's Arguments Against Brentano's Fitting Attitude Analysis of Value
Authors: Bykvist Krister 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAccording to the popular fitting attitude analysis of value, to be good is to be the object of a proattitude that it is fitting, in some sense, to have. One version of this analysis can be traced back to Franz Brentano, according to which “good” means “worthy of love.” In a review in Ethics of Brentano's The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong, G. E. Moore accuses Brentano of committing a fallacious inference, which I will call “Brentano's fallacy.” I shall show that Moore's accusation, properly formulated, hits the target and that his argument can be generalized so that it undermines other Brentano-like versions of the fitting attitude analysis.
