Bapang Mask's Symbolic Power in the Attempt to Break Muri's Record in Malang District

Bapang mask is one of the figures in Malang’s puppet show, which is unique compared to other masks. It has a long nose and a sharp, red-colored face with bulging eyes. It possesses a manly character and enjoys flattery, and is a symbol of the legitimacy of the Malang district government’s power. The symbol of the Bapang mask in MURI’s record-breaking attempt is a practice of power that legitimizes culture in dominating the domain of a discourse struggle (between politics and preserving culture). This study describes Bapang mask’s symbolic power in breaking the MURI’s record in Malang district. This qualitative study used interviews, document analysis, and observations, which were analyzed using a poststructuralist approach through Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice. The results of the study revealed that the symbolic system through the discourse of preserving Bapang masks in MURI’s record-breaking attempt is a representation of a symbolic system capable of producing power on political and cultural domination. This symbolic power forms the legitimacy of truth in the attempt to preserve traditional arts using Bapang mask. Keywords: symbolic power, discourse, preserving

A Novel Surgical Technique for Large Frontoencephalocele Management: The Mercy Ships Approach

Background: Large frontoencephaloceles, more common in low and middle-income countries, require complex reconstruction of cerebral herniation, elongated nose, telecanthus, and cephalic frontal bone rotation. Previously described techniques involve multiple osteotomies, often fail to address cephalad brow rotation, and have high complication rates including up to 35% mortality. This study presents a novel, modified, single-staged technique for frontoencephalocele reconstruction performed by Mercy Ships. This technique, which addresses functional and aesthetic concerns with minimal osteotomies, may help improve outcomes in low resources settings. Methods: Retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent frontoencephalocele reconstruction through Mercy Ships using the technique described. Patient data including country, age, gender, associated diagnoses, and prior interventions were reviewed. Intraoperative and post-operative complications were recorded. Results: Eight patients with frontoencephalocele (ages 4-14 years) underwent surgery with the novel technique in 4 countries. Average surgical time was 6.0 ± 0.9 hours. No intraoperative complications occurred. Post-operatively 1 patient experienced lumbar drain dislodgement requiring replacement and a second had early post-operative fall requiring reoperation for hardware replacement. In person follow-up to 2.4 months showed no additional complications. Follow-up via phone at 1 to 2 years post-op revealed all patients who be satisfied with surgical outcomes. Conclusions: Reconstruction of large frontoencephaloceles can be challenging due to the need for functional closure of the defect and craniofacial reconstruction to correct medial hypertelorism, long nose deformity, and cephalad forehead rotation. The novel surgical technique presented in this paper allows for reliable reconstruction of functional and aesthetic needs with simplified incision design, osteotomies, and bandeau manipulation.

ANALISIS JEMBATAN PRATEGANG BOX GIRDER DENGAN INCREMENTAL LAUNCHING METHOD

The purpose of this research is to gain a broader understanding in analysing bridges that are built in stages. With Incremental Launching Method, bridges are casted in segments behind one of the abutments and launched over piers. Therefore, this method has little effect on surroundings and much efficient for constructions of highways or railroad lines. This method uses 40 meter long nose made of steel and is connected to the front part of the bridge to reduce the cantilever moment that occurs. The structure of the bridge is modelled in Midas Civil. 31 centric pre-stressing tendons are used during launching, whereas 20 tendons are placed in the top flanges and 11 tendons are placed in the bottom flanges. 2 pre-stressing tendons are placed in each web, to be tensioned after the bridge has reached its final position. The results from analysis using Midas Civil stated that the tendons used are sufficient to withstand the stresses due to dead load and live load.AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih luas dalam menganalisis jembatan yang dibangun secara bertahap. Dengan Incremental Launching Method (ILM), jembatan dicor per segmen di belakang salah satu abutmen dan diluncurkan diatas tiang setelah beton mencapai kekukatannya. Oleh karena itu, metode ini memiliki efek yang sedikit pada lingkungan dan sangat efisien untuk pembangunan jalan raya atau jalur kereta api. Metode ini menggunakan nose sepanjang 40 meter yang terbuat dari baja dan disambungkan pada bagian depan jembatan untuk mengurangi momen kantilever yang terjadi.

Interactions between the Caddo and Cahokia Regions

Direct material evidence of contact between the southern Caddo area and Cahokia is sparse but of considerable interest because establishment of connections between the regions appears to have had profound implications for the subsequent history of the Caddo Area. Flint clay figures and a broad range of copper items including cut sheet copper hand symbols and long-nose god maskettes likely were brought to the Caddo area following visitations or pilgrimages to Cahokia during the 11th century. Movement of ritual items from Cahokia may have been accompanied by the transfer of ideas that modified Caddo religious practices, legitimized social divisions, and institutionalized positions of authority. The passage of people, information, and goods facilitated the establishment of new cultural traditions at local levels, and connected people in the Caddo area to the increasingly integrated “Mississippian” world in eastern North America.

Optimising Results of Nasal Tip Rotation Applying Combination of Nasolabial Angle and Lip–Columellar Angle in Tandem in Patients Operated by “Cock-up” Alar Cartilage Flaps Technique

Background Setting the angle of tip rotation is of utmost importance in achieving satisfactory results in rhinoplasty. Conventionally the upward rotation of the tip requires shortening of the septum by caudal resection and shortening of the lateral walls by cephalic trim of the alar cartilages. The results are usually assessed subjectively. We describe the use of objective parameters to ensure accuracy of nasal tip rotation in patients operated with “cock-up” alar cartilage flaps, a modification of the cephalic trim. Methods Fifteen patients with a long nose having adequate width of lateral crura, desiring a shorter nose with upward tip rotation, were included in the study. Values of preoperative and desired nasolabial angle (from morphed images), and the derived columellar–labial angle were documented. Nasal tip rotation was set to the derived angle and maintained using cock-up alar cartilage flaps. The outcome was evaluated by digital measurements of the nasolabial angle and patients’ feedback by Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) score. Results Satisfactory tip rotation and an aesthetic supratip area could be achieved. The difference in preoperative and postoperative nasolabial angles was statistically significant (p value < 0.0001). The difference in desired and the obtained nasolabial angle was not significant (p value 0.085). The results were maintained on subsequent follow-up. Conclusion Application of angles in practice and use of K-wire template helps us achieve accurate and consistent results. Cock-up flap is an effective technique—to obtain an open nasolabial angle and a desirable supratip region by making use of tissues otherwise discarded.

The Possibilities of Multislice computed Tomography in nasal Anthropometry

Background. Nasal anthropometry is an important aspect of maxillofacial and plastic surgery especially in the preoperative stage of rhinoplasty. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) permits to assess quantitative the variant nasal anatomy using measuring.Aims: to determine the possibilities of MSCT-anthropometry in nasal configuration grade.Materials and methods. We performed a proand retrospective analysis of MSCT data of maxillofacial region of 50 patients (aged 35 ± 10.7 years old) with changes of nasal height and width and 35 women (32.9 ± 8.4 years old) with normal nasal configuration. The variant anatomy consists in long nose (n = 16), short nose (n = 17), wide nose (n = 17). The nasal height was measured from the nasal root (nasion) to the nasal base (subnasion), the nasal width is the distance between the most lateral aspects of the alae nasi. Besides, the nasal index was calculated. The descriptive statistics of obtained data were presented by mean and standard deviation (SD), also the multiple regression analysis was used. Values of p = 0.005 were considered statistically significant.Results. The results showed that the average nasal height in patients with normal configuration is 51.9 ± 2.63 mm, with short nose – 45.2 ± 1.36 mm, with long nose – 60.3 ± 1.28 mm. The mean nasal widths are 34.9 ± 1.88 mm in normal configuration, 38.8±3.57 in wide nose. The nasal indexes were calculated, their features were detected. These obtained results correlate with anthropometric data of different studies.Conclusions. MSCT-anthropometry is an objective imaging method of variant nasal anatomy that could provide improving quality of diagnostics of patients seeking rhinoplasty and choose a surgical approach.

ANATOMICAL VARIANTS OF PYRIFORM APERTURES AND NASAL BONES IN PATIENTS WITH NORMAL CONFIGURATION AND DIFFERENT AESTHETIC DEFORMITIES OF EXTERNAL NOSE USING MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Objective. To identify the anatomical variants of nasal bones and pyriform apertures in view of normal configuration of external nose and different types of aesthetic nasal deformities, to estimate its possible relations.Material and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) data of 2737 patients with the image processing (multiplanar and 3D-volume rendering). The sample comprised 121 patients with aesthetic nasal deformities (rhinokyphosis – nasal hump, long nose, combined deformity like a hidden hump, short nose, wide nose) and 37 individuals with normal European nasal configuration.Results. The most frequent variants of pyriform apertures are drop, heart and pear types. The most common variants of nasal bones in all groups were II, V, VI types according to Lang and Baumeister. Every kind of deformities was described with their characteristic features of pyriform apertures and nasal bones.Conclusion. Statistically proved correlation between the facts of deformities and variants of pyriform apertures and nasal bones was obtained. The preoperative study of variable anatomy must be always performed for improving functional and aesthetic results of rhinoplasty.
