Contextualizing the protagonist Leonard Marnham’s violence against the heat of the geopolitical struggles of the Cold War, this study traces his transformation from an innocent technician to a violent agent of political and sexual aggression, and reads his attempted rape of his German lover, Maria, as a nexus between personal relationships and geopolitical struggles. It highlights how Leonard’s violence is a reflection of and at the same time a product of the postwar political landscape. By drawing on the body politic of sexual violence, it analyzes the feminized representation of Leonard, arguing that Leonard is both a perpetrator as well as a victim of the postwar political struggles. Hence the conclusion that sexual violence is employed by the author as a trope to dramatize the invasion of the political onto the personal, and the novel is a political novel that illustrates how the entanglement of international politics and private life can lead to a profound distortion of personal relationships, where the dynamics of power, dominance, and submission that define the public sphere can seep into and corrupt even the most intimate aspect of human interaction.展开更多

This researcher claimed he was not informed that he was listed as an author during the entire manuscript submission and publication process. Moreover, he had a concern about the reliability of the data in the paper. Therefore, he would like to withdraw his authorship of this particular article or withdraw this article entirely. The editorial office forwarded the letter to the other authors to collect comments, and the first author completely denied the co-corresponding author＇s claim of unawareness of authorship by providing archived emails between them. Setting aside what really happened 13 years ago, in this case, it may be interpreted that either this cocorresponding author himself is announcing his honorary authorship （either by passively being added to the byline or actively accepting the offer） in this article, or is trying to avoid taking （potential） responsibility regarding the research content by using honorary authorship as a defense. Meanwhile, the first author has been accused of offering honorary authorship to a senior researcher.展开更多

It occurs in a segment of the digestive tract located between the pylorus and the colorectal junction. Herein, we report a case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) following excessive consumption of wild grapes with no previous abdomen medical or surgical history. <strong>Presentation of case:</strong> A 65-year-old male farmer presented with cessation of materials and gas associated with vomiting of food and then bilious. The abdomen was bloated and painful on palpation with a moving, painful mass in the left iliac fossa. The hypothesis of acute occlusion of the colon was retained and confirmed on the X-Ray which showed a dilation of small bowel with air-fluid levels. The diagnostic of acute SBO was retained. We performed urgently a median laparotomy. We found the dilation of the loops from the jejunum to the sigmoid colon with a compact mass at the sigmoid colon of 15 cm in length and 6 cm in diameter. We proceeded to crush the mass that was made up with wild grape seed fecal, and push it back to the rectum. The phytobezoar made up with wild grape seeds was extracted through the anus with the fingers after anal dilation. After extraction of the bezoar, the patient’s complaints completely subsided. <strong>Discussion:</strong> SBO is a frequent emergency surgical pathology. SBO induced by phytobezoar often occurs in patients with abdomen surgery history. However, it is particularly rare in virgin abdomen. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> This case report aims to raise awareness of phytobezoar as a cause of SBO in elderly even though without abdomen surgery history.展开更多
