Cultural and geological heritage in time elapsed during historical Kingdoms in Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia

Yogyakarta, Indonesia is known for its kingdom government system for all its living history; since 8-10th century Mataram Hindu-Buddhist temples to the present Muslim Ngayogyokarto Hadiningrat. Those stretch of history resulted in many artefacts and chronicles. A cultural imaginary line that linking Merapi Volcano in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south through the Yogyakarta Palace in the middle has a sacral geo-cultural heritage, explaining a prosperity gentle volcanic town, a beautiful scheme of the open panoramic features with several temples standing on the plain and mountainous landscapes in between the rest of earthquakes and the volcanic eruptions. Many temples were partly buried under volcanic materials, and some others show evidence of being shaken several times by earthquakes. Boulders of volcanic materials varying in size and shapes are present in the plain of Yogyakarta, near Cangkiringan, Ngemplak and Ngaglik. Landslides exposed many geological features, such as faults, rock formation and stratigraphy, and some unstable slopes. Cultural and geological heritages at Yogyakarta Region were created over the time.

Brainstem and Cranial Nerves: Pons

The pons extends from the pontomedullary junction to an imaginary line drawn from the exit of cranial nerve IV. Dorsal to the pons lies the cerebellum, which receives information and projects information back to the brainstem through the inferior, middle, and superior cerebellar peduncles. Important structures at this level include the corticospinal tracts, corticopontocerebellar fibers traveling through the middle cerebellar peduncle, the cerebellum, and cranial nerves V through VIII. Blood supply to the pons is from the basilar artery and its perforating vessels.

Brainstem and Cranial Nerves: Midbrain

The midbrain (or mesencephalon) is the uppermost segment of the brainstem. This chapter reviews the important structures in the midbrain, including cranial nerves III and IV. The midbrain extends from the level of the trochlear nucleus to an imaginary line between the mammillary bodies and the posterior commissure. Important structures at this level include the cerebral peduncles, superior and inferior colliculi, red nucleus, substantia nigra, decussation of the middle cerebellar peduncle, and cranial nerves III and IV.

Ultrasound Assisted Neuraxial Blockade in Obstetric Anesthesia

Central Neuraxial Blocks (CNBs) relevant to the practice of obstetric anesthesia and analgesia are spinal, epidural and combined spinal-epidural injections. These techniques are routinely used for cesarean deliveries and labor pain relief. Traditionally, CNBs are performed using surface anatomical landmarks. In the first instance the highest point of each iliac crest is identifies. The imaginary line connecting these points allegedly passes through the L4 vertebral body in non-pregnant women, and L3 vertebral body in pregnant women [1]. Based on this, the operator palpates and counts the spinous processes and decides on the needle entry point. Although this technique is widely accepted as relatively reliable, the correlation is inconsistent even in non-complicated cases. Obesity, tissue edema, pelvic rotation, limited ability to bend forward, hyperlordosis, labor pain, underlying spinal deformity or previous back surgery and instrumentation pose additional difficulty for anesthesiologists to correctly locate the intervertebral levels.

Virtual Support in Dementia: A Possible Viable Strategy for Caregivers

Background: In the last 10 months, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, several studies have shown that health education and virtual support strategies for caregivers of patients with dementia, in the management of home care, can be viable. Low and middle income countries, in particular, have sought to use these means to reduce the daily burden of caregivers, through virtual meetings of education and support.Objectives: To present the feasibility of a pilot study on the use of a support action contemplated by the Caad Project–indirect costs of dementia–from HC-FMUSP.Methods: Observational study in which 93 caregivers were invited to participate in virtual meetings on a frequency of three times/week, lasting 1 h each.Results: Of the 93 invited family members, and after 3 months, 42 answered eight questions about the effectiveness of the action. High percentages of positive responses regarding program satisfaction ranged from 86 to 100%.Conclusion: This study showed results of a very simple intervention that suggests that it is possible to offer caregivers of patients with dementia a program that can be used in primary care, in order to understand the difficulty of caregivers in their daily care of patients with dementia, with daily management guidelines on a case-by-case basis, in addition to promoting the implementation of an education strategy about the importance of knowing, and recognizing anatomophysiological changes in the aging process and its implications for the rupture of the imaginary line that involves senescence and senility. This allows the caregiver to feel able to protect his patient and himself by preventing the emergence of common diseases in this age group. Further studies are needed to explore this type of non-pharmacological support.

Ecological Feedback Effects Affecting Arctic Biodiversity in Response to Glacial Melt

A changing Arctic The Arctic is a geographic region situated in the northernmost part of earth. It marks the latitude above which the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice. The Arctic is considered an area within the Arctic Circle that draws an imaginary line that …

Hand Detection for Safety to Avoid Accidents

Detecting the hand when it crosses the safety level and in return it also raises an alert in the form of alarm. So that the threat can be identified and proper measures are taken to overcome that. The methodology of the project goes as follows, taking input from camera , Image processing to detect hand, Projecting a line using computer vision, Raising alarm when hand crosses this projected safety line. The real time data is taken from the camera as an input to the Image processing algorithm. Then this input is processed to find the hand in image in it and checks whether the hand is crossing that safety line. If that hand is crossing the safety line we can simply raise alarm. The applications of the project are to the Employees who are working at industry are pushing the material into shredder machine. But somehow while pushing these material into shredder machine the employees are pushing their hands itself in the flow of work and the hands of employees were cut in that cause. So from a certain distance from shredder machine input we project a imaginary line using computer vision, So that if any hand crossing that imaginary line which is for safety we will raise an alarm. In addition, we can also extend the applications, by just replacing hand with the Bike, we can detect the bike, which is crossing the staggered stop line, and we can punish or fine them. As a part of object detection we are using Single short multibox detector.

Hemispheric Latinidad

Hemispheric Latinidad describes various aspects of cultural proximity across the diverse ethnic, national, and geopolitical terrains of the Americas. The prefix “hemi,” from the Greek word meaning “half,” is joined to the Latin word “sphera,” which denotes a round, solid formation, such as a ball or globe. The planet, envisioned in terms of two halves (hemispheres) is conceived as a division of the Earth from either north to south or east to west by an imaginary line passing through the poles. As such, hemispheric Latinidad constitutes a 21st-century reconfiguration of the panethnic identity “Latino/Latina” (or Latinx) that emerged during the final quarter of the 20th century to replace the “Hispanic” designation for peoples of Latin American extraction contributing to the US national project. As a site of continual political contest (rather than a finished product), Latinidad has garnered skepticism from observers and scholars who argue that political opportunism and governmental expedience undergird attempts to consolidate Latinx subjects across divisions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, migratory patterns, religion, language, and other axes of social difference to formulate a single, homogenous identity. However, contemporary scholarship that engages the conceptual framework of hemispheric Latinidad endeavors to take into account both the limitations, and the liberatory prospects, of approaches that emphasize interrelationships across Latinx and Latin American experiences. Hemispheric Latinidad hones in on the notion of overlap, as populations across the Americas contend with interlocking levels of domination that stem from the consequences of colonization, patriarchal hegemony, late capitalism, and other hemispheric structures that consolidate institutional powers and privileges along corporatist agendas. This interstitial approach to hemispheric experience informs projects of documentation, theorization, transformation, and rehabilitation of Latin American and Latinx peoples who share common experiences of national rejection within the US context, while contending with US economic, political, cultural, and military interventions and incursions into Latin American, the Caribbean, and indigenous territories in the Western Hemisphere that shape hemispheric patterns of migration, mobility, and immobility. Proponents of hemispheric Latinidad argue that these cumulative, interstitial encounters with Western domination and resistance occasion the need for conversations under an expansive rubric to describe a range of inter/intranational circumstances.
