UNDOING THE OCULAR: POETIC SENSE IN PAUL CELAN'S ‘ORTSWECHSEL’ AND ‘SPRACHGITTER’*
Authors: Chowdhury Sneha 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIt is impossible to leaf through any collection of Paul Celan's oeuvre without catching a glimpse of the word ‘Auge’. Apart from ‘Der Meridian’, eyes appear in the titles of his poems, within poems and indirectly through poems about visibility and invisibility. The recurrence of the word ‘Auge’ in Celan's poetry invites his reader to reflect on the significance of this image and ask how it might define his poetics. Poems that feature the word ‘Auge’ present a wide array of poetic accounts of the nature of vision. This essay considers two of them: the first, presented by poems such as ‘Auge der Zeit’ and ‘Ortswechsel’, undoes ocularcentrism, an epistemological bias that privileges vision over other senses and takes effect through its association with the power of the sun. The second, presented by Celan's poem ‘Sprachgitter’ read in close comparison with Rainer Maria Rilke's ‘Der Panther’, undoes the ocularcentric notion of being or the ontological basis of the ocular. This essay argues that rather than through the eye, poetic sense in Celan's poetry is to be found through conversation with ‘an other’.Es ist unmöglich, eine Sammlung von Paul Celans Werken durchzublättern, ohne einen Blick auf das Wort „Auge‘‘ zu erhaschen. Abgesehen von „Der Meridian‘‘ tauchen Augen in den Titeln seiner Gedichte, innerhalb von Gedichten und indirekt in Themen über Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit auf. Die Wiederkehr des Wortes „Auge‘‘ in Celans Gedichten lädt den Leser ein, über die Bedeutung dieses Bildes nachzudenken und zu fragen, wie es seine Poetik definieren könnte. Gedichte, in denen das Wort „Auge‘‘ vorkommt, bieten ein breites Spektrum an poetischen Darstellungen über die Natur des Sehens. In diesem Essay werden zwei davon betrachtet: Die erste, die sich in Gedichten wie „Auge der Zeit‘‘ und „Ortswechsel‘‘ findet, widerlegt den Okularzentrismus, eine erkenntnistheoretische Voreingenommenheit, die das Sehen gegenüber anderen Sinnen privilegiert und durch seine Assoziation mit der Kraft der Sonne zum Tragen kommt. Die zweite, die Celans Gedicht „Sprachgitter‘‘ im engen Vergleich zu Rainer Maria Rilkes „Der Panther‘‘ untersucht, stellt diese Assoziationen mit dem Sehen in Frage. Der Essay argumentiert, dass der poetische Sinn in Celans Gedichten im Gegensatz zum „Auge‘‘ mit einem Anderen im Gespräch ist.

AbstractBackgroundHIV/AIDS remains a significant public health concern in South Asia, and trends in disease burden vary across the region. This study analyzed spatial and temporal trends in HIV/AIDS from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021, focusing on incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYs).MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of GBD 2021 data, applying Joinpoint regression and auto‐regressive integrated moving average models to assess trends in HIV/AIDS burden across South Asian countries. We calculated metrics such as average annual percentage change (AAPC), and estimated APC (EAPC) to evaluate temporal trends.ResultsWe found significant variations in HIV/AIDS trends across South Asia. India had the highest burden, with a sharp increase in DALYs between 1990 and 2000 with a percentage change (PC) of 184.09, followed by a decline (−0.73 in 2010–2021). Pakistan experienced the highest growth in DALYs and mortality (average PC 36.46; estimated PC 38.65), indicating severe ongoing public health challenges. In contrast, Nepal and Maldives showed notable reductions in both DALYs and mortality rates, reflecting successful intervention efforts. Afghanistan and Bangladesh exhibited fluctuating trends, with slight increases in the initial years followed by stabilization or modest declines. Auto‐regressive integrated moving average projections suggested a slight increase in HIV/AIDS incidence by 2031, with mortality rates expected to decline more significantly.ConclusionThe burden of HIV/AIDS in South Asia varies significantly, with some countries achieving reductions and others, particularly Pakistan, facing rising challenges. Continued and targeted public health interventions are crucial for managing and reducing the burden of HIV/AIDS across South Asia.

AbstractThe invasive red lionfish, Pterois volitans, plays a unique role in seagrass and reef ecosystems, where it functions as a top predator and competitor for both food and shelter. Given the ubiquitous distribution of lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean basins, their species provides an excellent opportunity to understand how an invasive predator's diet and primary energy pathways change as a function of size and habitat type. To investigate these patterns, we studied lionfish from a mosaic of deep reef, shallow patch reef, and seagrass bed habitats in the Florida Keys using stomach contents and stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N). In August 2020, lionfish (n = 48) and other native species were collected from coastal habitats in the Florida Keys, including deep (20–30 m), intermediate (12–18 m), and shallow (<8 m) reefs, to obtain representation of the local food web. Lionfish on shallow reefs were found to feed from different basal carbon sources than lionfish on intermediate and deep reefs. Bayesian mixing models predicted reef particulate organic matter to be the greatest source contributor to the primary energy pathways of lionfish and reef fish at similar trophic levels, and a high degree of resource use overlap between lionfish and native reef fish was documented. Over time, niche overlap with native species could lead to a decline in their populations through resource competition and/or direct predation, thus creating the need to further study the impact of lionfish in the Florida Keys ecosystem. With the increasing scientific consensus that lionfish diets and niche overlap are highly location‐specific, this study further contributes to our collective understanding of the role that lionfish play in the food web of patch reefs in the Florida Keys.
Modulation of host cell membrane biophysics dynamics by Neospora caninum: A study using LAURDAN fluorescence with hyperspectral imaging and phasor analysis
Authors: Díaz Marcela , Robello Carlos , Cabrera Andrés , Malacrida Leonel 
Published: February 2025

AbstractNeospora caninum is known to manipulate host cell organelles and recruit lipids for its survival. However, the impact of this lipid redistribution on host cell membranes remains poorly understood. This study used LAURDAN fluorescence, hyperspectral imaging, and phasor plot analysis to investigate how N. caninum modifies membrane order in Vero cells. The results revealed a significant decrease in host cell plasma and internal membrane order upon infection, suggesting that cholesterol is redistributed from the host plasma membrane to the parasitophorous vacuoles. To mimic cholesterol depletion, uninfected cells were treated with methyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (MBCD), which increased membrane fluidity. Conversely, replenishing infected cells with cholesterol‐loaded MBCD restored membrane fluidity to levels lower than control cells, indicating cholesterol enrichment. These findings provide novel insights into how N. caninum modulates host cell membrane dynamics through lipid manipulation, potentially aiding its intracellular survival.

ABSTRACTBackgroundWith the popularization of laser therapy, an increasing number of patients are undergoing fractional CO2 laser therapy. It is particularly important to exercise caution and accelerate wound healing after laser surgery.AimsThis study aimed to examine the clinical efficacy of moist wound healing after fractional CO2 laser therapy.Patients/MethodsA total of 15 individuals volunteered to undergo fractional CO2 laser therapy. The facial skin was irradiated with a fractional CO2 laser in the deep mode, with an energy of 15 mJ/cm2 and a density of 5%. The left and right sides of the faces were considered the observation and control groups, respectively. After laser therapy, medical cold compress patches were applied on the skin in the control group once a day for approximately 10–15 min, whereas erythromycin ophthalmic ointment was applied on the skin in the observation group 6 times daily for wound care. The wound healing time, duration of erythema, and occurrence of adverse reactions were monitored in both groups.ResultsThe observation and control groups received different nursing interventions. The time to regression of erythema and swelling was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group. In addition, the scab formed at the wound site was thinner, and shedding was faster in the observation group than in the control group. The Clinical Erythema Assessment score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05). The wound healing time was 5.73 ± 0.70 days in the observation group and 7.73 ± 0.72 days in the control group, with the difference being statistically significant (p < 0.05). After 30 min and 12 h of nursing intervention, the Visual Analog Scale score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05). However, after 24 h of treatment, neither group showed significant pain. Both groups showed varying degrees of acne, pustules, and exudation, which subsided within 7 days. Furthermore, the control group had 2 cases of mild pigmentation, which resolved within 3 months. Neither group experienced adverse reactions such as skin infection, depigmentation, or scar formation.ConclusionMoist healing therapy can accelerate wound healing and reduce the duration of erythema and edema after fractional CO2 laser therapy, demonstrating potential clinical application value.

AbstractAimWe reviewed case reports of acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) in Japan and summarized its characteristics, including coagulation factors, fibrinolytic factors, and platelet counts.MethodsPubMed/Medline and Ichushi databases from 2000 to 2022 were used to survey articles related to AFLP, and 93 articles (102 patients) were ultimately identified.ResultsThe characteristics of the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems in AFLP were as follows: the prothrombin time‐international normalized ratio and activated partial prothrombin time were prolonged (median value [quartiles]: 1.59 [1.31, 2.02] and 47.5 s [28.2, 97.5], respectively), and antithrombin and alpha 2‐antiplasmin levels were low (23.0% [17.0, 33.0] and 44.6%, respectively), indicating non‐productive coagulopathy due to severe liver damage. The concentrations of the thrombin‐antithrombin complex and fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products were high (60.0 ng/mL [49.1, 82.8] and 49.2 μg/mL [20.8, 143.7], respectively), while the level of fibrinogen was low (82.0 mg/dL [52.5, 153.5]), suggesting disseminated intravascular coagulation with increased coagulation activity. A platelet count ≥12 × 104/μL was detected in approximately 70% of AFLP cases, and the median was within the normal range (16.1 × 104/μL [11.1, 19.2]).ConclusionsCoagulopathy changes in AFLP may be based on non‐productive coagulopathy of coagulation and fibrinolytic factors as well as disseminated intravascular coagulation with mild or no thrombocytopenia.

AbstractGlobally, with the continuous increase in human populations, land use is changing at an unprecedented rate. Little is known about how African reptiles respond to urbanization. We used mark‐resight and baited camera traps to compare population density and demographics of Nile monitors (Varanus niloticus) on a gradient of land use, namely a golf course, a farm and a nature reserve in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, during 2022–2023. We also collected detailed morphometrics on 112 Nile monitors throughout KwaZulu‐Natal. We compared morphometric data on limbs, head, body and mass to establish whether the different ecological factors in urban and rural environments and associated behavioural shifts have resulted in unique phenotypes. No significant morphometric differences were found, but urban individuals were generally smaller and lighter than their rural counterparts. Population size estimates varied between sites. Overall, population size estimates increased with anthropogenic disturbance between our three focal sites, while the mean estimated snout‐vent length decreased. The naïve presence of competing diurnal mammals did not follow a specific pattern. The overall insignificant variations in morphometrics in urban and rural areas of KwaZulu‐Natal suggest that Nile monitors have adapted to urban mosaic landscapes with natural and managed (e.g. gardens, parks, golf courses, etc.) green spaces but are not as successful as some urban‐exploiting varanids globally. Future research should investigate Nile monitor interactions with people and pets as well as conflict mitigation strategies.

AbstractThe Tanpopo experiment is Japan's first astrobiology mission aboard the Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility on the International Space Station. The Tanpopo‐1 mission exposed silica aerogel panels to low Earth orbit from 2015 to 2016 to capture micrometeoroids. We identified an impact track measuring approximately 8 mm long, which contained terminal grains in the silica aerogel panel oriented toward space. The impact track exhibited a bulbous cavity with two thin, straight tracks branching from it, each preserving a terminal grain at their ends. The terminal grains were extracted from the silica aerogel and analyzed using scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy to investigate their X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (STXM‐XANES). Both grains are Fe‐bearing and relatively homogeneous orthopyroxene crystals (En88.4±0.4 and En88.2±1.8). The recovery of Fe‐bearing low‐Ca pyroxene aligns with previous studies of micrometeoroids captured in LEO. Micrometeoroids containing Fe‐bearing olivine and low‐Ca pyroxene are likely abundant in LEO.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTDiffuse midline glioma, is a highly aggressive deep‐seated glioma whose diagnosis must be confirmed through histopathological analysis of stereotactic biopsies. Hemorrhagic complications after intracranial biopsies may occur, potentially leading to severe neurological sequelae or significantly altering the outcome. A 55‐year old male with no significant medical history presented to the local emergency department with 4 days of diplopia. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of tumor whose characteristics were highly suggestive of a high‐grade infiltrating causing blocked hydrocephalus. As no safe resection was achievable, a third ventriculostomy followed by an endoscopic biopsy of the tumor was performed. Unfortunately, the procedure was complicated by an massive intraventricular bleeding of the tumor and, the tiny tumor specimens collected were not contributive. Fortunately, the patient survived and, his clinical state slowly improved. Follow up MRIs depicted a progressive regression of the tumor. As such a wait and see policy was preferred over a chemoradiotherapy. Ultimately, the gadolinium enhancement totally vanished. Unfortunately, 27 months after the initial presentation, he presented with a quick neurological worsening with severe hemiparesis and seizures for which cerebral imaging showed a malignant‐looking deep‐situated unresectable brain tumor. A second biopsy was performed without any specific complication. The histopathological examination of the tumor revealed a high‐grade glial tumor characterized by hypercellularity, marked atypia, mitosis, microvascular proliferation, and areas of necrosis with positive H3 p.K28M nuclear staining in combination with the loss of nuclear H3 p.K28me3. He was referred for best supportive care and, died 29.6 months after the initial presentation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the gadolinium enhancement of a diffuse midline glioma H3 K27‐altered.

Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundWork engagement, a multifaceted concept encompassing dedication, vigour and absorption, is critical for paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) nurses who are providing critical care to ensure optimal patient care and maintain their well‐being.AimThis study examines the effect of a brief mindfulness‐based intervention (MBI) on different dimensions of work engagement among PICU nurses.Study DesignUsing a quasi‐experimental design with pretests and posttests across two groups, we evaluated the impact of a brief MBI on work engagement. Two hospitals were randomly selected to implement the intervention, and the other two served as controls.ResultsA total of 204 nurses participated, with 101 in the intervention group and 103 in the control group. Post‐intervention, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher levels of vigour (M = 3.88, SD = 0.56), dedication (M = 4.67, SD = 0.64) and absorption (M = 4.18, SD = 0.56) compared with the control group (p < .001 with 95% CI of −2.02, −1.62 for vigour; −2.23, −1.78 for dedication; and −1.89, −1.50 for absorption). The multivariate analysis of variance results indicated a significant effect of the intervention on the linear combination of dependent variables (V = .30, F[3, 200] = 29.22, p < .001), with a substantial effect size (partial η2 = .30).ConclusionThe current study highlights the efficacy of a brief MBI in enhancing work engagement among paediatric ICU nurses. Thus, MBIs could be a practical solution to issues encountered in a demanding work environment.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe brief MBI significantly enhanced the work engagement dimensions of vigour, dedication and absorption among PICU nurses. These improvements suggest that mindfulness practices effectively boost nurses' energy levels, sense of purpose and deep concentration, which are essential for high‐quality patient care. The findings highlight the potential of integrating mindfulness interventions into health care settings to promote caregiver well‐being and better patient outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundThe turnover rate of new graduate registered nurses in critical care is high as they have trouble adapting to the field. Various transition programmes are being applied, but the effectiveness thereof remains controversial.AimThis study examined the effects of a 10‐week field‐oriented training programme for new graduate registered nurses in critical care setting using the Kirkpatrick model.Study DesignThis study used a one‐group, repeated‐measures design. A total of 71 new graduate registered nurses at a tertiary hospital in South Korea completed a 10‐week field‐oriented transition programme between March 2020 and June 2021. The programme consisted of a two‐week ward‐based modular orientation grounded in the concept of distributed practice model and eight‐week individualized preceptorship. Using the Kirkpatrick model, the measures included the Job Satisfaction Scale, Clinical Knowledge Evaluation, Clinical Competencies, Professionalism Inventory, Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and short‐term turnover rate, and data were collected four times: pre‐education, after each education and at 3‐month follow‐up.ResultsThe ward‐based modular orientation significantly improved clinical competencies (p < .001) and professionalism (p = .02). When preceptorship was applied, clinical knowledge (p < .001) and competencies (p < .001) significantly improved; in contrast, job satisfaction (p = .009) and organizational commitment (p < .001) were significantly reduced. Three months after the end of education, clinical knowledge (p < .001) and competencies (p < .001) increased compared with immediately after the programme, but organizational commitment (p = .013) decreased significantly. The turnover rate at 6 months after employment was estimated to be 15.5%.ConclusionsThe findings indicate that a field‐oriented transition programme with sufficient practice opportunities in clinical sites and customized field training results in improved clinical knowledge and competencies in new graduate nurses.Relevance to Clinical PracticeA transitional programme for new graduate nurses needs to include additional components such as socialization within organization in order to improve job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
