The depiction of sexism experienced by female characters Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry (2023) Series
No full textThis study employs the sexism theory developed by Peter Glick and Susan Fiske to examine the portrayal of sexism in the 1950s through the character of Elizabeth Zott in the series Lessons in Chemistry (2023). The research method is qualitative with a descriptive approach. This research shows that Elizabeth Zott encounters two forms of sexism in a male-dominated workplace: hostile sexism, which includes direct hostility and discrimination, and benevolent sexism, which is more subtle and paternalistic but still excludes women from equal opportunities. Elizabeth is a woman who boldly rejects the traditional roles expected by a patriarchal society and confidently asserts her independence as an individual, despite social pressures. In the face of hostile sexism, Elizabeth is determined and courageous, continuing her career in science despite facing direct discrimination and challenges. She also challenges social expectations that limit women's roles and demands change for gender equality in the face of benevolent sexism. This study highlights Elizabeth's resistance strategies against both forms of sexism and the importance of understanding and addressing various forms of sexism in a male-dominated workplace

Out-of-the-box soft tissue tumor: pediatric synovial sarcoma of larynx
No full textSynovial sarcoma (SS) is a very rare, aggressive, mesenchymal neoplasm that displays both spindle cell and epithelial histologic characteristics. To our knowledge, there are only 20 documented cases of primary laryngeal SS in the English language literature among all age groups and only three case reports among the pediatric population. Due to its rarity, recognition of this laryngeal neoplasm is often very difficult, and diagnosis relies heavily on immunohistochemistry and its unique translocation between chromosome X and 18 [t(X; 18) (p11.2; q11.2)]. The treatment of SS typically involves a multimodal approach with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation but despite these options the prognosis remains poor. Here we report the fourth laryngeal SS pediatric patient along with a review of all SS published cases in children. The current report is not only presenting the youngest patient with laryngeal SS but also the pediatric patient with the longest survival
Early Clinical and Subclinical Visual Evoked Potential and Humphrey's Visual Field Defects in Cryptococcal Meningitis.
No full textCryptococcal induced visual loss is a devastating complication in survivors of cryptococcal meningitis (CM). Early detection is paramount in prevention and treatment. Subclinical optic nerve dysfunction in CM has not hitherto been investigated by electrophysiological means. We undertook a prospective study on 90 HIV sero-positive patients with culture confirmed CM. Seventy-four patients underwent visual evoked potential (VEP) testing and 47 patients underwent Humphrey's visual field (HVF) testing. Decreased best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was detected in 46.5% of patients. VEP was abnormal in 51/74 (68.9%) right eyes and 50/74 (67.6%) left eyes. VEP P100 latency was the main abnormality with mean latency values of 118.9 (±16.5) ms and 119.8 (±15.7) ms for the right and left eyes respectively, mildly prolonged when compared to our laboratory references of 104 (±10) ms (p<0.001). Subclinical VEP abnormality was detected in 56.5% of normal eyes and constituted mostly latency abnormality. VEP amplitude was also significantly reduced in this cohort but minimally so in the visually unimpaired. HVF was abnormal in 36/47 (76.6%) right eyes and 32/45 (71.1%) left eyes. The predominant field defect was peripheral constriction with an enlarged blind spot suggesting the greater impact by raised intracranial pressure over that of optic neuritis. Whether this was due to papilloedema or a compartment syndrome is open to further investigation. Subclinical HVF abnormalities were minimal and therefore a poor screening test for early optic nerve dysfunction. However, early optic nerve dysfunction can be detected by testing of VEP P100 latency, which may precede the onset of visual loss in CM
Blending Electronics with the Human Body: A Pathway toward a Cybernetic Future
No full textAt the crossroads of chemistry, electronics, mechanical engineering, polymer science, biology, tissue engineering, computer science, and materials science, electrical devices are currently being engineered that blend directly within organs and tissues. These sophisticated devices are mediators, recorders, and stimula-tors of electricity with the capacity to monitor important electrophysiological events, replace disabled body parts, or even stimulate tissues to overcome their current limitations. They are therefore capable of leading humanity forward into the age of cyborgs, a time in which human biology can be hacked at will to yield beings with abilities beyond their natural capabilities. The resulting advances have been made possible by the emergence of conformal and soft electronic materials that can readily integrate with the curvilinear, dynamic, delicate, and flexible human body. This article discusses the recent rapid pace of development in the field of cybernetics with special emphasis on the important role that flexible and electrically active materials have played therei
Dissociative Identity Disorder Of Main Character In Sybil Novel By Flora R. S Based On Psychological Perspective
No full textSybil novel tells about woman that has sixteen personalities. This novel is very interesting because there is a psychology aspect in this novel. The writer intends to find out the characterization of the sixteen personalities and psychological problems in that novel, in this case, dissociative identity disorder. The writer wants to know about the symptom, the causes, and the treatment of dissociative identity disorder that found in Sybil novel. In finding the analysis of this paper the writer uses descriptive method and library research. The writer found that the author of the novel, Flora, uses both direct and indirect characterization to reveal the characterization of each character in the novel. The characterization can be seen from the character's word, character's thought, and the author's narration. Sybil as the main character suffers from dissociative identity disorder because she got physical and sexual abuse from his mother and she has no one to share and solve her problems. It forces her to get another solution by making other personalities to share her problems. Suffering dissociative identity disorder makes her losing her time. She does not know what she has done and what she told about until she meet with Dr. Wilbur, the psychiatrist who give her psychotherapy to bend all her personalities

Perancangan sistem informasi akuntansi penyaluran BSU di PT Bank Tabungan Negara menggunakan Micrsoft Visual Studio 2010
No full textBSU is assistance given to workers or laborers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to find out the information system for channeling BSU funds at PT. State Savings Bank to BSU beneficiary customers. Information is collected using qualitative methods with a descriptive approach by means of observation and literature study. The results of research that has been done by the author at the PT. State Savings Bank (BTN) Bandung Branch With the BSU distribution accounting information system, it can be easier for officers to input, process, generate data, and check the accuracy of customer data for those who receive Wage Subsidy Assistance (BSU). At the time of data input, the officer has successfully entered data into the system, which can be processed for data checking and then processed for the storage process. The output of this system is that it displays customer data that receives wage subsidy assistance, which is then sent to customer service so that customer service no longer manually checks customer data. In addition, this BSU distribution information system has become more integrated into improving the quality of the bank
