Fabricating memories, narratives and identities through the good morning towel and its consumed ‘Nostalgia’ in Singapore

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In recent years, scholars and experts have agreed that a nostalgia phenomenon and hype has swept across Singapore. Discussion of nostalgia has manifested in two main varieties. One, the “fuzzy sentimental feeling” exhibited in our longing for a lost physical landmark or landscape. Two, defined as a “hipster heritage impulse” exhibited through an urban sprawl of hipster cafes, fashionable stores such as Naiise or BooksActually and gentrification of ‘hip’ areas within estates of Tiong Bahru and Haji Lane. Such is the intriguing trend of marketed nostalgia that has gone seemingly overlooked and unexplored within the scholarship and discussion in Singapore, the latter being one which has manifested through a capitalistic consumption and a material production. A consumed nostalgia: a commodity, a product, a physical thing that can be bought and sold. In particular, my object and subject of focus is the Good Morning Towel. Aside from the Good Morning Towel being just a towel, it has been transformed, re-produced and re-designed into an array of ‘new’ everyday merchandises. Now, the Good Morning Towel has become a tangible commodity and relic that can be bought and consumed. In this essay, I argue that the Good Morning Towel and its numerous reinventions exist within the dichotomy of the public-private functionality-symbolism dichotomy. Furthermore, I posit that the Good Morning Towel – as an everyday object – is not one that is passive or static. But rather the Good Morning Towel has established itself as a contested ‘site’ whereby narratives, meaning-making and memories are constructed and weaved into the material production of the Good Morning Towel and its commodities. Ultimately, this essay seeks to answer two key questions. One, to explore how narratives, meaning and memories are constructed and weaved into the (material) production and commodization of the Good Morning Towel and; Two, who(s) makes nostalgia; Whose nostalgia is being exhibited and memorialized.
The Constellation of Risk Factors and Paraneoplastic Syndromes in Cholangiocarcinoma: Integrating the Endocrine Panel Amid Tumour-Related Biology (A Narrative Review)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs), a heterogeneous group of challenging malignant tumours which originate from the biliary epithelium, are associated with an alarming increasing incidence during recent decades that varies between different regions of the globe. Thus, awareness represents the key operating factor. Our purpose was to overview the field of CCAs following a double perspective: the constellation of the risk factors, and the presence of the paraneoplastic syndromes, emphasizing the endocrine features amid the entire multidisciplinary panel. This is a narrative review. A PubMed-based search of English-language original articles offered the basis of this comprehensive approach. Multiple risk factors underlying different levels of statistical evidence have been listed such as chronic biliary diseases and liver conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, parasitic infections (e.g., Opisthorchis viverrini, Clonorchis sinensis), lifestyle influence (e.g., alcohol, smoking), environmental exposure (e.g., thorotrast, asbestos), and certain genetic and epigenetic interplays. With regard to the endocrine panel, a heterogeneous spectrum should be taken into consideration: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and potential connections with vitamin D status, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor, or the galanin system, respectively, with exposure to sex hormone therapy. Amid the numerous dermatologic, hematologic, renal, and neurologic paraneoplastic manifestations in CCAs, the endocrine panel is less described. Humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy stands as the most frequent humoral paraneoplastic syndrome in CCAs, despite being exceptional when compared to other paraneoplastic (non-endocrine) manifestations and to its reported frequency in other (non-CCAs) cancers (it accompanies 20–30% of all cancers). It represents a poor prognosis marker in CCA; it may be episodic once the tumour relapses. In addition to the therapy that targets the originating malignancy, hypercalcaemia requires the administration of bisphosphonates (e.g., intravenous zoledronic acid) or denosumab. Early detection firstly helps the general wellbeing of a patient due to a prompt medical control of high serum calcium and it also provides a fine biomarker of disease status in selected cases that harbour the capacity of PTHrP secretion. The exact molecular biology and genetic configuration of CCAs that display such endocrine traits is still an open matter, but humoral hypercalcaemia adds to the overall disease burden.
P59 Using in situ simulation to deliver team focussed multi-disciplinary training

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background Silo working is recognised to contribute to patient error (Hajek, 2013) and breaking down these silos is key to improving patient care. This will also improve patient outcomes as well as raising staff satisfaction in practice (Newhouse and Spring, 2010). However, in the Authors’ experience freeing up staff to attend non-mandatory training is very difficult within a District General Hospital environment. Summary of work A project proposal with SWOT analysis were carried out to identify strength, weaknesses and barriers to implementation. This was then used to guide the development and delivery of an In Situ simulation programme. Summary of results The In Situ Simulation programme began in February/March 2018 with multi-professional simulation being delivered in Medical, Surgical ED and Paediatric departments for the first time. Discussion Multidisciplinary simulation is new concept in our hospital. Carrying out a SWOT analysis helped to highlight formally potential barriers and threats to the implementation of the plan. This project benefited from one of the authors having an extensive experience of In Situ simulation which balanced with the other authors knowledge of the teams. There have been no reported disruption in patient flow and there have been no reported delay in patient treatment with the simulation scenarios already delivered. Staff participating have anecdotally reported that they have found it beneficial to analyse their working and want more in the future. There is, however a need to balance this with the clinical requirements. Recommendations At this stage we are still imbedding the programme. The next step is to quality assure what we are doing and look at tools to assist this. We will also formally start to use patient incident data to focus the simulation scenarios. References Hajek AM.

Education and Information About Toga Plants as an Immune Enhancer During a Pandemic

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

During the current Covid-19 pandemic, people must carry out social distancing and use health protocols such as masks when doing activities outside the home. One way to increase endurance during the Covid-19 epidemic is to consume vitamins and use plants that are efficacious as drugs that can increase endurance such as Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). In addition to having medicinal properties, TOGA plants also have benefits as nutritional enhancers, as cooking spices, and can add beauty. Activities carried out in this activity are education and information to villagers about the TOGA plant, as well as distribution of posters containing information on examples of plants that have medicinal properties and can increase endurance, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic like today. The result of this activity is to increase knowledge to the public about the importance of planting and managing Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) as an effort to increase endurance, especially during the current Covid0-19 pandemic, and so that people can find out how to use TOGA plants to increase endurance. body so that they can avoid Covid-19 in the village.
Geochronology and geochemistry of the Dabure basalts, central Qiangtang, Tibet: evidence for ~550 Ma rifting of Gondwana

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Newly discovered basalts in the Dabure area (central Qiangtang block, northern Tibet) were subjected to laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb zircon dating, geochemical analyses, and zircon Hf isotope analyses. Dating of magmatic zircons from three basalt samples indicates that the Dabure basalts formed during the late Ediacaran (~550 Ma). Xenocrystic zircons yield ages of 700–1150 Ma, providing evidence of the Cryogenian crust in the Tibet block. The Dabure basalts are alkaline, rich in Ti and Fe, and are strongly enriched in light rare earth elements without Eu anomalies. The basalts are geochemically similar to within-plate basalts but are relatively depleted in Nb and Ta. Although the analysed zircons show differences in their Hf isotope compositions, the geochemical data suggest that the Dabure basalts were derived from enriched mantle and that the source magmas were contaminated by the continental crust. The basalts may have erupted during rifting at ~550 Ma (from the dating of magmatic zircons), and may have been a product of the initial breakup of Gondwanaland.
A cross‐sectional study on food safety knowledge and practices among food handlers in tertiary and second circle institutions in Ho municipality, Ghana

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In recent years, incidences of food poisoning have been reported in some schools across the country. However, little attention has been paid to the hygiene practices of food vendors in the schools. This study, therefore, investigates the food safety knowledge and practices of food vendors catering for tertiary and second cycle students in the Ho municipality. The piloted and validated questionnaire used to sample 608 respondents revealed that the majority of the respondents sampled were female (76.0%), between the ages of 26 and 40 (51%), married (47.4%), and have tertiary or senior high school certificate (60.7%). They have been in business for not more than 2 years (36.2%) and had neither food safety (62.3%) nor good manufacturing practice (81.9%) training. However, they have sufficient knowledge in food safety regarding purchasing, storage, cooking and reheating, and personal hygiene, but exhibited poor knowledge and practice of food temperature control protocols. Both Kendall's tau-b coefficient correlation and linear regression model revealed a significant positive correlation between food safety knowledge and practices of the vendors. Nevertheless, regular training and monitoring are necessary to enable the vendors to fully implement the food temperature control protocols, which is one of the major causes of food poisoning in the country.
Characterization of Micro Injection Molding Process for the Replication of Micro/Nano Features Using Bulk Metallic Glass Insert

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Microsytems are motivating the development of complex, net-shape products weighing a few milligrams or having micro/nano features. Such small components or micro/nano features are subject to extreme shear rates and thermal gradients in the micro injection molding process due to their large surface to volume ratio. Detailed process monitoring and characterization are desirable to create a viable manufacturing process with acceptable part quality for MEMS and Microsystems. This work covers the replication of micro/nano scale features using Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), implementation of a suite of PT (pressure and temperature) sensors on a commercial reciprocating micro injection molding machine, and detailed analysis of the relationship between process-rheology-replication. The results indicate that injection velocity dominates the average viscosity of polymer melts; holding pressure can adjust the input pressure history for micro/nano features and mold temperature can enhance feature filling by elevating the po-mold interface temperature. Tailored strategies to set machine parameters for different molds and plastics can be developed to meet the quality requirement for both small components and micro/nano features.
Thermodynamic instabilities in dense asymmetric nuclear matter and in compact stars

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We investigate the presence of thermodynamic instabilities in compressed asymmetric baryonic matter, reachable in high energy heavy ion collisions, and in the cold β-stable compact stars. To this end we study the relativistic nuclear equation of state with the inclusion of Δ-isobars and require the global conservation of baryon and electric charge numbers. Similarly to the low density nuclear liquid-gas phase transition, we show that a phase transition can occur in dense asymmetric nuclear matter and it is characterized by both mechanical instability (fluctuations on the baryon density) and by chemical-diffusive instability (fluctuations on the electric charge concentration). Such thermodynamic instabilities can imply a very different electric charge fraction Z/A in the coexisting phases during the phase transition and favoring an early formation of Δ− particles with relevant phenomenological consequences in the physics of the protoneutron stars and compact stars. Finally, we discuss the possible co-existence of very compact and very massive compact stars in terms of two separate families: compact hadronic stars and very massive quark stars.

THE OXYTOCIN CHALLENGE TEST AND ANTEPARTUM FETAL ASSESSMENT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary The oxytocin challenge test (OCT) was performed 537 times on 364 high‐risk patients over a three‐year period. It was shown that a positive test had a highly significant correlation with a worsened perinatal outcome as measured by stillbirth rate, fetal distress in labour, intrauterine growth retardation, Apgar scores and the need for neonatal resuscitation and intensive care. However, one‐third of positive tests were falsely positive when tested by labour. A negative test proved reassuring for a further week of intrauterine life in 98·2 per cent of cases. The role of the OCT in antepartum fetal monitoring is discussed.
Microenvironment-Controlled Micropatterned Microfluidic Model (MMMM) for Biomimetic In Situ Studies

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Attachment of trophozoites to the intestine is an indispensable step for Giardia's survival and pathogenicity in almost 280 million infections worldwide each year. However, the analysis of the attachment mechanism is difficult due to the lack of methods that can create a favorable microaerobic atmosphere. Herein, we developed an osmotic-pressure, pH, excretion, nutrition, gas, ionic-strength, flow-rate, and temperature microenvironment-controlled micropatterned microfluidic model to simulate the in vivo microenvironment to study in situ the stress applied to Giardia in the intestinal tract. We designed three nonbiological surfaces with stagger arrangement manners and integrated them with a resistance microfluidic network to split Giardia-attaching forces ingeniously and developed the term "attaching contribution rate" (ACR) to describe their corresponding contributions. Our study shows that the total attaching force measured is 49.58 Pa, with three components being 22.66 Pa (suction force), 12.52 Pa (clutching force), and 14.4 Pa (combined electrostatic and van der Waals force), respectively, with ACRs being 46%, 25%, and 29%, respectively. By decomposing the attaching force and analyzing each force component and their structure and composition basis, whole profiles of the attachment mechanisms were revealed. Our method enables the analysis of the surface attachment mechanisms and their ACRs for Giardia.
The impact of parental migration background on cardiometabolic health in European children

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background There is accumulating evidence that children from migrant families have higher risk of developing overweight and obesity than their peers in the host population. This study aims to investigate the association between parental migration and cardiometabolic health, including the metabolic score and its components, in children and adolescents in Europe. Methods Data was collected from 8,828 children (aged 2-17) in eight European countries included in the multicentre IDEFICS/I.Family cohort. Multilevel linear regression models were used (accounting for correlations between siblings) to investigate the association between parental migration background (one or two migrant parent(s) vs native parents) and the cardiometabolic health outcomes body mass index (BMI), metabolic score and its individual components. Outcome variables were parametrized as age and sex-specific z-scores. We controlled for socioeconomic indicators, maternal weight status, as well as lifestyle and dietary patterns. Results We found a higher mean BMI z-score (+0.24 SD, p &lt; 0.001) and overall metabolic z-score (+0.28 SD, p &lt; 0.001) among children with two migrant parents in comparison to children with two native parents. No differences could be seen between children with one versus no migrant parent. The effects were attenuated when controlling for maternal weight status and levels of sport club activity. Parental education modified the associations for some health outcomes (BMI and waist circumference) such that they were more pronounced in children with low parental education. Conclusions European children and adolescents with two-parent migration background seem to be at higher risk of developing adverse cardiometabolic health than their peers. Children with one migrant parent seem to have similar risk as children with native parents. Maternal BMI and levels of physical activity partly explained the higher risk, a risk which was more prevalent in families with lower education level. Key messages European children and adolescents with two-parent migration background have higher risks of developing adverse cardiometabolic health than their peers with one or two native parents. The higher risk of being overweight and having cardiometabolic risk factors among children with two-parent migration background was most pronounced in families with low level of education.
Impact of an integrated nutrition intervention on nutrient intakes, morbidity and growth of rural Burkinabe preschool children

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Iron deficiency and undernutrition often co-exist among children and\nthe prevalence in sub-Saharan African is high. In Burkina Faso, 92% of\nchildren under the age of five years were anaemic and 39% were stunted\nin 2003 according to Demographics and health survey. Risk factors\ninclude inadequate dietary intakes and infections that often occur\nconcomitantly. Orphans and vulnerable children who are already at\nincreased risk for poor psycho-emotional development due to their\nsocial status are particularly susceptible to malnutrition. Therefore,\nthere is a challenge to develop effective interventions that address\nthe multiple risk factors of nutritional deficiencies in these\nchildren. An integrated nutrition intervention including dietary\nmodification and changes in hygiene practices was implemented targeting\na group of preschool orphans and vulnerable children living in group\nfoster homes. The amount of iron-rich foods particularly goat meat and\ncondiments as well as citrus fruits were increased in the diet. The\nhygiene component of the intervention focused on handwashing, eating in\nindividual plates, food storage and stool disposal. All members of the\nfoster homes at large benefitted from the activities of the\nintervention; however, measurements and impact evaluation focused on\npreschool children (12 - 72 months). Energy and nutrient intakes,\nanthropometric indices and morbidity including diarrhoea, fever,\nvomiting and respiratory infections were assessed at baseline and after\n18 weeks. Mean bioavailable iron intake was increased from 0.4 to 0.9\nmg/d. The intervention resulted in a decrease in the prevalence of\ninadequate intakes for energy, proteins and most micronutrients. The\nintervention increased the meat-fish-poultry contribution to energy and\niron intakes from 1.6 to 3.5% and from 5.2 to 7.9%, respectively. There\nwas also a decrease in the incidence of infection (from 73 to 9%,\np<0.01) and overall morbidity (from 39 to 15%, p<0.05) most\nlikely due to deworming and improvements in hygiene behaviours.\nContrary to baseline, helminths such as Hymelolepis nana ,\nStrongyloïdes stercoralis\t and Necator americanus that often\ncause blood loss were rarely found at the end of the intervention. The\noverall changes resulted in improvements in height-for-age z-score\n(-1.63 to -1.27, p<0.01) and weight-for-age z-score (-1.22 to -1.06,\np<0.05). In conclusion, an intervention that targets bioavailable\niron and hygiene behaviours improved child growth, iron status and\noverall morbidity in areas of high incidence of infection.
