An Empirical Approach in Culinary Fiqh of Coastal Communities: Critical Study of ‘Aysh al-Baḥr

The lives of fishermen are said to have a profound influence on the lives of coastal towns. Their attitude toward marine resources effects their theological perspective as well. This fact is supported by Kiai Anwar's book ‘Aysh al-Baḥr, which discusses the legal position of consuming numerous aquatic animals. This article seeks to trace the book ‘Aysh al-Baḥr's understanding of culinary fiqh. As an analytical tool, this paper employs a normative approach and the notion of Islamic epistemology pioneered by al-Jābirī and Mulyadhi. This article demonstrates how the epistemology of culinary fiqh in ‘Aysh al-Baḥr employs an empirical approach to determining the legal status of ingesting animals by viewing and direct observing them. Kiai Anwar's background as a fisherman gives him an edge in developing normative and empirical reasons for marine animal laws. This conclusion demonstrates that coastal cultures have an extensive understanding of aquatic animal environments. This article suggests utilizing empirical approaches to derive rules that necessitate direct observation.__________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 20th Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), Surakarta, 2021.

Dental and Maxillofacial Emergency Algorithms in Swiss Emergency Departments.

This study aimed to evaluate the availability and use of dental and maxillofacial emergency algorithms in Swiss hospitals. A survey was performed among physicians at Swiss emergency departments (ED) and participants of the "36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery". Eighty-nine EDs in Switzerland were questioned about the availability and use of electronic algorithms in their hospitals. Eighty-one (91%) participated in the study. In 75 (93%) of the EDs, electronic algorithms are used, mainly "medStandards". Six have no available algorithms. Fifty-two (64%) use algorithms daily. Eight (10%) Swiss EDs have maxillofacial and dental algorithms, and 73 (90%) have no access to or do not know about them. For dental algorithms, 28 (38%) of the respondents would like to have access, and 16 (22%) do not desire access. For maxillofacial algorithms, 23 (32%) want to have access and 21 (29%) do not want it. Most (74%) of the participating maxillofacial surgeons did not know about the existence of ED algorithms regarding their specialty. Our study shows that the existence of specific algorithms is often not known. Furthermore, there is a demand for dental and maxillofacial algorithms in Swiss EDs.

Stuart Hall, Jacqueline Rose and the politics of the psyche

This article is a report on a lecture given in London by Professor Jacqueline Rose on 11 February 2023, organised by the Stuart Hall Foundation as the 6th Annual Stuart Hall Public Conversation. The lecture was entitled ‘What is a Subject? Politics and Psyche After Stuart Hall’ and was responded to by Dr Sharon Numa. In this lecture, Jacqueline Rose identifies a powerful stream of psychoanalytic thought in Stuart Hall’s writings and articulates a contemporary understanding of Hall’s work as reaching out to what she calls ‘some of the most anguished political and cultural realities of our current times’.

Introduction to ‘Transitus: Illustration as Material Crossing Ground’: The stake in the physical trace

Taking its inspiration from the ‘Transitus’ theme of the 12th Annual Illustration Research Symposium, hosted online 14–15 July 2022 by Falmouth University, United Kingdom, this editorial considers material expressions of what might be understood as the performative prefix ‘trans-’. Each of the essays introduced here responds to an understanding of the crossing ground we are naming ‘Transitus’ as one which is invested in retaining a physical connection or trace in its referential, illustrative function. Not coincidentally, many of the articles included here identify this physical trace as one which partakes in the materiality of photography or celluloid, prompting a larger consideration of relationships between photography, film and illustrative practices. This identified relationship signals a desire to hold on to a material trace of the ‘real’ in order to ground a given narrative. Other examples of material anchoring to those of photography and film are also considered here as part of a broader theorization of illustration practices that hold on to the physical object or artefact in order to achieve their respective communicative acts of crossing over.

Review of the 38th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Urology (EAU) 2023

WELCOMED by the graceful vocals of the Italian Tenors, Christopher Chapple, European Association of Urology (EAU) Secretary General, opened what he described as a “vibrant programme” at the 38th Annual EAU Congress, held in Milan, Italy between the 10th-13th March 2023. Boasting a rich history of art, architecture, and culture, and home to Leonardo da Vinci’s famous mural ‘The Last Supper’, over this weekend Milan traded its role as a global hub for fashion and design to host the largest urology event in Europe.

Vas Deferens-Sparing Laparoscopic Removal of a Large Prostatic Utricle—Video Display and Technical Report, Highlighting Anatomical Considerations

Introduction and Aim: A large prostatic utricle (PU) is difficult to remove, when symptomatic, thus indicated, because of its proximity and adherence to the vas deferens, on each side and the occasional ectopic vasal opening into the utricle. Inadvertent vasectomy or deliberately transecting the vas deferens, on one or both sides, is often inevitable, leading to infertility. This work offers an insight into the pertinent surgical anatomy and the aforementioned challenges, as well as a modification of technique in children. Clinical Presentation: A case of a then 4-year-old boy, with penoscrotal hypospadias and a large PU, complicated with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), after a staged hypospadias repair is reported. The hypospadias repair was deemed effective, as judged by cystoscopy. During subsequent laparoscopy, we found the vas deferens bilaterally entering a high point into the PU fundus and running along its wall. Surgical Technique: Definitively, a cystoscopy-assisted laparoscopic technique was performed. The PU was bihalved, then a tubular structure was eventually constructed, from the wall of the utricle on each lateral edge, as an extension of the vas deferens, thus preserving it running towards the urethra and connected to the ejaculatory pathways. The bulky central part of the utricle was discarded. Progress: Recovery was uneventful. The patient was discharged on the next morning and remains asymptomatic for >1 year after surgery. Conclusion: This technique allows for preservation of the vas deferens while excising the main bulk of the utricle. Prospects of sperm delivery are thus kept, as the primary goal of preventing UTIs is fulfilled. A spermatogram could be obtained in the future, when age permits, to confirm this, as it is still not possible during childhood.
