Purpose: This is a retrospective single-institution study performed to compare the rate of unnecessary operations in pregnant women with suspected acute appendicitis with and without the use of MRI. Methods: The study subjects were all pregnant women with suspected acute appendicitis admitted to a tertiary institution from January 2012 to December 2019. If acute appendicitis was not excluded clinically and by ultrasound (US), laparoscopies were performed until May 2017 (US-only group). MRI was added as a diagnostic tool when US was inconclusive from May 2017 (US + MRI group). Surgery was considered unnecessary when no inflamed appendix was found. The rate of unnecessary surgery, postoperative complications, length of stay were analyzed. Results: Seventy-six women were included in the study; 38 women in the US-only group and 38 women in the US + MRI group. There were no differences in admission characteristics between the groups. One of 38 women (2.6%) underwent unnecessary surgery in the US + MRI group vs. 10 of 38 (26.3%) in the US-only group (P = 0.007). The patients in the US + MRI group were significantly less likely to undergo a diagnostic operation than in the US-only group (5.26% vs. 55.3%, respectively; P < 0.001) and their hospital stay was significantly shorter (0.74 ± 1.64 days vs. 3.7 ± 3.0 days, respectively; P < 0.001). The obstetric outcomes were not different between the groups. MRI had a sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 100% in the series. Conclusion: The rate of unnecessary surgery was significantly reduced in pregnant women, who underwent MRI after inconclusive transabdominal US.

In many places―the U.S. and Canada, most European states, and many countries in Asia―police forces generally are able to enact the ideal of a rational scientific mode of investigation. The public servant is trained and resourced to conduct impartial and efficient collection and analysis of case evidence, with the latest technological advancements and time-honored powers of individual acumen and investigative experience. But what happens when ""orders from above"" direct skilled experts to fabricate or omit findings gleaned from forensic analysis? How are we to understand the sources and impacts of political pressure inserting itself into the investigative process, even from the very first response at a crime scene or site of public disorder? These are questions that afflict almost every police officer in India on a daily basis. Many districts are deprived of the most up-to-date forensic tools because of lack of funding from the government. But even in those places that are well-equipped, investigating officers must often conduct their work in a climate of harsh demands from above (i.e. directives from superiors and local government officials) and below (citizens who do not trust them to do their duty, or have means to evade their authority), which compel them to either ignore or invent case evidence, in order make investigations turn out in a certain way. And these pressures--captured by officers under the general term ""political interference"" in ""police science""--not only affect a particular case at hand, but also shape how officers make decisions to do their duty in the future. Moreover, the political interference is often rationalized as an attempt to ensure that the police themselves are ""not committed to a conviction,"" but are instead scientifically and efficiently investigating and presenting ""only the facts."" But these ""facts"" are often determined less by methodical means and more by ideological definitions of what being ""scientific"" even entails. This paper--based upon ongoing ethnographic research into the daily lives of police officers in northern India--examines such problems from the officers" perspectives, and interrogates what sort of police science is even possible, when meddling by interest groups comprise an accepted norm governing criminal investigations and daily maintenance of law and order.

As China-Hong Kong integration deepens, a local identity asserted to be culturally superior to and exclusive of the mainland Chinese is mobilized in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). This paper contributes to the attendant debates by presenting a unique case of politics of belonging therein, where “cultural” differences are constructed, increasingly so in “ethnic” terms, amid processes of internal migration. I discuss how the hegemonic discourse of local belonging is a corollary of the “neoliberal governmentality” of the city-state. It defines the parameters of social inclusion in terms of labor market integration and in particular contribution to the global economy. The underlying class assumptions are reflected in the exclusion from local belonging of Chinese immigrants, whose long-standing socioeconomic marginalization is conflated with, and glossed over by their constructed cultural inferiority. Such assumptions are also gendered, as Chinese immigrant mothers struggle to participate as worker-citizens in the society and to make claims for their “deservingness” to belong. On this basis, I argue that the “cultural” differences between mainlanders and Hongkongers should be better understood as constituted not by “ethnic” differences but by the way class and gender differentiate access to participation and belonging. Implications for the SAR are discussed.
Making Sense of Loss and Belongingness: Korean Transracial Adoptees` Journey from Europe to Korea
Beatrice Favre,Hye Jun Park 한국아동학회 2016 Child studies in Asia-Pacific context Vol.6 No.1
From 1953 to 2015, approximately 200,000 children born in Korea were adopted into foreign countries. Many studies have focused on Korean adoptees growing up in the US, as the majority of these children were adopted by American families. In comparison, research on Korean transracial adoptees raised in European countries is limited. Thus, the current study aims to highlight the journey of Korean transracial adoptees from Europe to Korea. Three participants narrated their life stories as adoptees in two separate interview sessions. The findings of this study call attention to the adoptees’ ongoing reconsideration of their identity as they assimilate life experiences within two disparate cultural settings in Europe and Korea. The study found that ambiguous loss faced by the adoptees from their childhood in Europe continued to their adulthood in Korea. Major themes of the participants’ narratives in their journey from Europe to Korea focused on their feelings of loss and the lack of belongingness. This study found that the sense of loss and the lack of belongingness changed over time. Participants were active agents in the process of their journey from Europe to Korea, as they constantly worked to adapt to and improve their situation in face of adversity.
