Märchenwunderland und Fratze des Kapitals
Authors: Müller-Wille Klaus 
Published: July 2022

Auf den ersten Blick mag es so scheinen, dass Hans Christian Andersen mit seinen drei Spielzeugmärchen Den standhaftige Tinsoldat (1838; Der standhafte Zinnsoldat), Kjærestefolkene (1843; Das Liebespaar) und Pengegrisen (1853; Das Geldschwein) biedermeierliche Fortsetzungen der in vielerlei Hinsicht unheimlicheren romantischen Vorlagen von E.T.A. Hoffmann schreibt. Im Artikel wird zunächst beleuchtet, wie kalkuliert sich Andersen von der Schreibweise Hoffmanns absetzt, um andere thematische Akzente zu setzen. So wird an einem close reading der drei Texte gezeigt, dass und inwiefern Andersen die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Spielzeug für weitreichende kulturanalytische Reflexionen nutzt, in denen er immer wieder auf die merkwürdigen Effekte einer Warenökonomie aufmerksam macht, in denen Dinge zu Objekten des Begehrens mutieren und damit auf gespenstische Art und Weise an der Subjektkonstitution teilhaben. Andersens entsprechend moderne Auseinandersetzung mit dem Spielzeug wird durch den Vergleich zu den Spielzeugtheorien von Charles Baudelaire und Walter Benjamin konturiert. Schliesslich wird an Pengegrisen aber auch demonstriert, dass sich Andersen sehr wohl darüber im Klaren war, dass auch seine eigenen Spielzeugmärchen an Projektionen geknüpft sind, welche die Faszinationskraft des Spielzeugs als grundlegend zweckloses Ding nur ungenügend beschreiben.

The purpose of this article is to assess the immediate results of laparoscopic transposition of aberrant renal vessels as an effective alternative to pyeloplasty in the treatment of children with external obstruction of the pyeloureteral junction. Material and methods. The laparoscopic vascular transposition technique was used in 3 children with hydronephrosis caused by aberrant renal vessels. The preoperative diagnostic examination included: ultrasound / Doppler scanning, radioisotope renal scanning and contrast computed urography. Renoscintigraphy showed that all patients had intermittent hydronephrosis (24–36 mm) and an obstructive pattern. In order to select patients in whom vascular transposition is possible, the diuretic loading test was made at the beginning of the surgery. During the surgery, accessory renal vessels were mobilized and moved upward, where they were fixed by "wrapping" with renal pelvis tissue. Results. The median operative time was 59.0±10.2 minutes, and the median hospital stay was 3.6±0.5 days. There were no complications at the early observation period. At the follow-up (6.0–24.0 months), all patients showed a decrease in the degree of hydronephrosis and an improvement in excretory function at the renogram. Conclusion. Preliminary results of the study have demonstrated safety and efficacy of laparoscopic repositioning of aberrant renal vessels for the treatment of hydronephrosis. A careful selection of patients through intraoperative functional tests is an important step to confirm indications for this procedure and to maintain its high success rate. Any concerns about the presence of additional internal stenosis of the pyeloureteral junction, of course, should transform this surgical intervention into the classic pyeloplasty.

Introduction. The authors share their experience in treating children with esophageal atresia (EA) using the thoracoscopic technique. Material and methods. 25 children with EA were operated on in N. M. Kuraev Children’s Republican Clinical Hospital in Makhachkala (Republic of Dagestan, Russia) in 2020–2022. 17 children had thoracoscopy; 13 were put primary anastomosis of the esophagus; 3 had gastrostomy after ligation of the tracheoesophageal fistula; in one child, who had no EA fistula, surgeonsput internal traction sutures on the proximal and distal ends of the esophagus without gastrostomy. Of 13 patients with primary anastomosis of the esophagus, 3 had conversion; in one patient without EA fistula, thoracoscopic esophageal anastomosis was put on the 6th day after internal traction sutures. Thus, the authors have analyzed outcomes in 10 patients with primary anastomoses and in one patient with delayed one who were operated on with the thoracoscopic technique. Results. Outcomes of treating children with EA after putting thoracoscopic anastomoses of the esophagus were evaluated. Discussion. On analyzing literature data on EA thoracoscopic correction, one can see good cosmetic effects at early and especially at late postoperative periods with low incidence of musculoskeletal deformity. A serious problem for most pediatric surgeons is the impossibility to create primary anastomoses in the neonatal period. In our case, the only obstacle was a large diastasis between segments of the esophagus. Yu. Yu. Kozlov et al. reported about a new approach applied in two newborns with EA: thoracoscopic traction elongation of the esophagus can be made without gastrostomy followed by esophago-esophagoanastomosis on days 5 and 6, respectively. They observed only stenosis of the anastomosis in both cases, what we also observed in one case. Conclusion. Thoracoscopic technique for esophago-esophagoanastomosis is less traumatic; it improves visualization of the surgical field, gives good cosmetic results and does not cause rough cicatricial changes and musculoskeletal deformities.
Feasability of Open Schooling in Disturbed Areas: A Case Study of Afghanistan
Authors: Mitra Sushmita 
Published: July 2022

Most countries have enshrined right to education in their constitution but in reality to fulfil this commitment countries do face a number of challenges. And this is true with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, which unlike other countries has a long history of war, conflicts, insurgency and hence insecurity. Although there have been positive steps towards rehabilitation of the education system and signs of promises can be seen in its achievements, access to quality education remains inequitable particularly across the provinces as a result of remoteness and geographical isolation, harsh climate, insecurity which impedes growth and sustainability of access points, high gender gap in all sectors of education particularly from lower secondary stage to higher stages of education, poor infrastructure prevalent in most schools, untrained teachers and low number of female teachers affecting participation, retention and continuity of studies.This paper highlights the current school educational status in Afghanistan to reveal the daunting challenges still existing to confront for the country to achieve its constitutional goals. It will also points out how Open schooling system can take charge of the challenges in Afghanistan to provide a channel of educational opportunities to those who cannot and do not go to school particularly the girls and women.

Continuity Education in Emergency and Conflict Situations: The Case For Using Open, Distance and Flexible Learning
Authors: Creed Charlotte , Morpeth Roslyn Louise 
Published: July 2022

Emergency and conflict in countries such as Syria, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have made us more aware of the long-term serial disruption and psychosocial damage faced by people caught up in emergency and conflict areas. Open, distance and flexible learning (ODFL) has sometimes been employed in these regions to maintain a degree of continuity in education. For the most part, however, this role has been ad hoc, short-term and often bearing limited relation to the psychosocial and educational needs of the displaced or traumatised populations it serves. But could ODFL play a more planned, significant and relevant role in emergency and conflict regions and if so, how? This paper will address this core question. We identify particular aspects of ODFL programmes, which are especially useful in reaching and extending basic and secondary education to hard-to-reach children and those in emergency and conflict contexts. Through a specific case study of the recent conflict in Sri Lanka, we show how ODFL is currently being used for these groups and to what effect. We argue that by building on proven achievements and integrating ODFL more systematically into the existing national planning for conflict and emergency zones, it could play a significant and cost-effective role in these regions and also, more widely, in facilitating links between the non-formal and formal sectors and improving the quality of provision.
Can e-Authentication Raise the Confidence of Both Students and Teachers in Qualifications Granted Through the e-Assessment Process?
Authors: Whitelock Denise , Edwards Chris , Okada Alexandra 
Published: July 2022

The EU-funded TeSLA project - Adaptive Trust-based e-Assessment System for Learning (http://tesla-project.eu) has developed a suite of instruments for e-Authentication. These include face recognition, voice recognition, keystroke dynamics, forensic analysis and plagiarism detection were designed for integration within a university's virtual learning environment. These tools were trialed across the seven partner institutions: 4,058 participating students, including 330 Students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND); 54 teaching staff.
This paper describes the findings of this large-scale study where over 50% of students gave a positive response to the use of these tools. In addition, over 70% agreed that these tools were 'to ensure that my examination results are trusted' and 'to prove that my essay is my own original work'. Teaching staff also reported positive experiences of TeSLA: the figure reaching 100% in one institution. We show there is evidence that a suite of e-authentication tools such as TeSLA can potentially be acceptable to students and staff and be used to increase trust in online assessment. Also, that whilst not yet perfected for SEND students it can still enrich their experience of assessment. We find that care is needed when introducing such technologies to ensure the building of the layers of trust required for their successful adoption.

Published: July 2022

This article aims to share an experience on the process taken by the University of Dar es Salaam to adopt and deliver technology-enhanced teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis. The university started by forming a team which conducted an audit to identify existing ICT infrastructure, skills gaps amongst instructors, and information systems that could be quickly adopted to deliver various courses during the COVID-19 crisis. The Moodle system, Zoom video conferencing system, and Postgraduate Information Management System were identified and recommended. After the audit, 340 instructors were trained on identified systems and 369 new courses were developed. Although face-to-face classes resumed a few months after the training and preparations, postgraduate courses continued to be offered via the blended mode with the Zoom and Moodle systems being used. The experience gathered from this study contributes towards knowledge of ICT integration in teaching and learning and can be integrated into teaching during the COVID-19 crisis in resource-constrained universities in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

Published: July 2022

Sustaining Work-based Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic became a challenge since access to working-cum-learning places for students of a work-based degree programme was depleted. Socio-economic challenges needed to be addressed as students came from economically weaker sections of society. Also critical were the pedagogic challenges in terms of validating the sustenance and spirit of the work-based learning (WBL) model.
This case study presents a special initiative of digital freelancing offering virtual workplaces as well as livelihoods to work-based learning students during the pandemic. Merits, limitations, potential spinoffs of the WBL model for higher education and learning for development are discussed.

Published: July 2022

Aims: This research was carried out to study the nutrients removal by different parts of coconut. This palm takes up a lot of nutrients from the ground for growth and development. Removal of nutrients varies from different components of palm. Hence this was carried to study the nutrient removal by different parts of coconut to improve growth.
Study Design: The study was carried out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with 2 factors (A and B) and 4 replications.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at Coconut Orchard Department of Plantation and Spices Horticultural College & Research Institute Tamil Nādu Agricultural University Coimbatore during 2021-2022.
Methodology: Here the major nutrient (NPK) removal of two varieties Chowghat Orange Dwarf (COD) and West Coast Tall (WCT) were estimated. The nutrient removal was estimated by collecting plant sample before fertilizer application(initial) and 3rd and 6th months after fertilizer application. These samples were dried powdered and analysed with respective procedures and instruments.
Results: The result revealed that the removal of nutrients from parts of coconut is increased from initial (without fertilizer application) to 3rd and 6th months after fertilizer application in both Chowghat Orange Dwarf (COD) and West Coast Tall (WCT). There is more removal of potassium compared to nitrogen and phosphorus. The percentage of nutrients removed was 13.52,18.69,21.22 during initial, 3rd month and 6th month in COD as such 16.22,19.8,22.44 in WCT respectively. Comparing with Chowghat Orange Dwarf (COD) and West Coast Tall (WCT) removes more nutrients.
Conclusion: The present study revealed that there was enormous removal of potassium from both varieties Chowghat Orange Dwarf (COD) and West Coast Tall (WCT). So, there is a need to increase in the potassium fertilizer application from normal recommended dose or potassium enriched nutrient application is recommended.
Efficacy Theory and Proposed Protocol for Presbyopia Correction using Scleral Softening by Non-invasive Infrared Diode Lasers
Authors: Lin Jui-Teng 
Published: July 2022

Purpose: To derive and provide analytic formulas and proposed protocol for accommodative gain of presbyopia eyes via laser scleral softening, which causes increased space between ciliary body and lens (SCL) and mobility of the posterior vitreal zonules (PVZ).
Study Design: To increase the accommodation of presbyopia by laser scleral heating/softening.
Place and Duration of Study: New Taipei City, Taiwan, between April 2022 and June 2022.
Purpose: To analyze the safety and efficacy of presbyopia treatment via scleral softening.
Methodology: The scleral softening efficacy is calculated based on the rate equation of scleral tissue with a rate coefficient given by an Arrhenius formula, Temperature spatial and temporal profiles are given by the numerical solutions of a heat diffusion equation with a volume heating source. Various effective depths including tissue damage depth, temperature penetration depth and conversion depth, governed by tissue absorption coefficient, light intensity and dose (or irradiation time), and the related threshold values, are introduced in replacing the conventional penetration depth based on a Beer's law.
Results: Given the the temperature spatial and temporal profiles, scleral softening efficacy can be calculated. Scleral surface damage can be prevented by cooling window. The suggested protocol for scleral softening treatments include: a diode laser at about 1.45 to 1.5 µm or about 1.86 to1.9 µm, or about 2.0 to 2.15 µm, wavelength (with absorption coefficient about 20 to 100 cm-1); laser power about 0.2 to 0.8 W per spot, having a total of 4 to 16 spots; and irradiation time of 100 to 600 ms. Results of corneal thermal shrinkage are demonstrated by the topography changes of pig eyes, in which the scleral softening does not affect the corneal shapes. The accommodative gain is proportional to the softening efficacy (Seff) of the scleral tissue after a thermal laser leading to the increase of PVZ mobility and SCL. However, the actual relation of Seff and the PVZ and SCL changes require measured data.
Conclusion: Safety and efficacy of scleral softening for presbyopia treatment depend upon the laser parameters (intensity, dose, spot size, wavelength) and the effective depths. By choosing the laser treated areas, a dual function treatment using scleral softening for presbyopia, and cornea stromal shrinkage for hyperopia is proposed and demonstrated by topography of pig eyes.
A Systematic Study of Size Correlation and Young's Modulus Sensitivity for Cellular Mechanical Phenotyping by Microfluidic Approaches
Authors: Liang Minhui , Zhong Jianwei , Ai Ye 
Published: July 2022

AbstractCellular mechanical properties are a class of intrinsic biophysical markers for cell state and health. Microfluidic mechanical phenotyping methods have emerged as promising tools to overcome the challenges of low throughput and high demand for manual skills in conventional approaches. In this work, two types of microfluidic cellular mechanical phenotyping methods, contactless hydro‐stretching deformability cytometry (lh‐DC) and contact constriction deformability cytometry (cc‐DC) are comprehensively studied and compared. Polymerized hydrogel beads with defined sizes are used to characterize a strong negative correlation between size and deformability in cc‐DC (r = −0.95), while lh‐DC presents a weak positive correlation (r = 0.13). Young's modulus sensitivity in cc‐DC is size‐dependent while it is a constant in lh‐DC. Moreover, the deformability assessment for human breast cell line mixture suggests the lh‐DC exhibits better differentiation capability of cells with different size distributions, while cc‐DC provides higher sensitivity to identify cellular mechanical changes within a single cell line. This work is the first to present a quantitative study and comparison of size correlation and Young's modulus sensitivity of contactless and contact microfluidic mechanical phenotyping methods, which provides guidance to choose the most suitable cellular mechanical phenotyping platform for specific cell analysis applications.
