It lies medial to the facial nerve thereby making surgical access difficult. It is this area which is frequently involved in chronic otitis media attico-antral type. Removal of disease from sinus tympani is cumbersome and expedites Cholesteatoma Recidivism. In India, very limited studies have been conducted describing the variations of Sinus tympani. Hence, this study is dedicated to estimating it's variations in volume. This is a one-year Observational Cross-sectional study conducted between January 2020 to December 2020 in Temporal Bone Dissection Lab of Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, J. N. Medical College, KAHER, Belgaum. 40 Human temporal bone (both left and right) have been dissected. The middle ear cavity was filled carefully with a moulding material i.e. Otoform. Once set, a 3-dimensional model of the middle ear cavity was made, which was removed carefully without causing any damage. The volume of the middle ear cavity was calculated. The other contents and parameters were measured using a measuring probe. Forty bones were dissected. The volume of the sinus tympani was measured to be 8.77 cubic mm with a range of 6.5 cubic mm to. 10.9 cubic mm hence showing that sinus tympani show a larger variability in terms of size, shape and volume. The ponticulus was Complete in 65% of the cases (26 bones) and incomplete in 35% of the cases (14 bones). The ponticulus and subiculum were found to be complete in a well pneumatized mastoid bone. The volume of the middle ear cavity was measured to be 1.17 cubic cm. The sinus tympani volume was calculated in this study employing a novel technique called the Otoform mould in cadaveric temporal bones, enabling for accurate measurement. The study concluded that sinus tympani showed a wide range in volume thus owing that it is the structure which has highest variability in terms of size and shape in the middle ear.</p>","PeriodicalId":51447,"journal":{"name":"New Political Economy","volume":"10 1","pages":"245-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10908706/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81973495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on Mexico and Turkey, which constitute crucial cases for a most similar case analysis. The article shows that Mexico and Turkey followed different growth models after their economic liberalisation, which led to distinct state roles in two key skill system institutions, namely the minimum wage and the vocational education and training (VET) system. In Mexico, the state aligned these institutions with the ‘dependent-downgrading' growth model, which was reliant on external demand and investments with low industrial upgrading and sometimes downgrading, and minimal working-class cohesion. Minimising labour costs was prioritised to attract foreign investment and to reduce the prices of exports, leading to extremely low wages and a liberal VET system in Mexico. In Turkey, the growth model was ‘domestic-upgrading’ with higher role of domestic investments and demand, and some improvements in industrial upgrading and working-class social cohesion. Ensuring high minimum wage and comprehensive VET system constituted key strategies for the state to maintain this growth model in Turkey, leading to relatively higher minimum wage and a statist VET system.","PeriodicalId":51447,"journal":{"name":"New Political Economy","volume":"123 43","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The politics of student loan in Turkey: regimenting the youth through <i>authoritarian debtfarism</i>","authors":"Havva Ezgi Dogru","doi":"10.1080/13563467.2023.2275014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13563467.2023.2275014","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe mass-scale expansion of student loan schemes in Turkey over the last two decades has been accomplished by a governance technique which the article defines as authoritarian debtfarism. By restructuring the Credit and Dormitories Institution (KYK) as subordinated to the executive and insulated from democratic intervention, the authoritarian neoliberal state in Turkey has sought to fulfil its new economic function, i.e. enabling the societal reproduction of the youth by increasing their financial dependency on credit money. The state-led student loan expansion in Turkey emerged in a tuition-free higher education setting without a sophisticated financial infrastructure and in an economic environment marked with perpetual graduate unemployment as well as inflationary pressures on repayment amounts. Based on a detailed interrogation of the official documents and in-depth interviews with defaulters, this article argues that authoritarian debtfarism has imposed a rigid market discipline over the university youth by using non-transparency and arbitrariness as its governance mechanisms. Consequently, future labour of the graduates is put on hold through a long-term debt relation, compelling them to integrate into labour market precariously as a new segment of the relative surplus population.KEYWORDS: Student loan politicsTurkeyauthoritarianismdebthigher education AcknowledgementsI am thankful for the feedback received on a previous version of this paper, which was presented at the 17th National Social Science Congress organised by the Turkish Social Sciences Association in February 2023.

To illustrate, from 2001 to 2021, the GER increased from 8 to 64 per cent in China, from 10 in to 31 per cent in India and from 21 to 55 per cent in Brazil (Ziderman Citation2023, World Bank Citation2023a). This trend was accompanied with the expansion of student loans, with 30 per cent of the total university students taking loans in China (Yang Citation2017), 26 per cent in India (Chalil Citation2021), 40 per cent in Brazil (Lavinas et al. Citation2019) and 27 per cent in Turkey (see Figure 2). The reason why time reference for these countries is not standardised is a lack of data regarding the countries mentioned.2 While accurate default rates are unavailable, non-performing assets rose in the late 2010s, which reaches one-third in some states of India (Chalil Citation2021, p. 128) and 30 per cent in some underdeveloped regions in China (Cai et al. Citation2019, p. 98), 47 per cent in Brazil (Lavinas et al. Citation2019).3 The data is retrieved from the same source used for Figure 2.

This points to a blank space in the dominant analyses of populism: their blindness towards society-nature relations. This paper aims to develop an approach grounded in Cultural Political Economy (CPE) that can be used to decipher the mediation of RWP within the context of economic, political, and cultural developments as well as society–nature relations. Against this background, the argument is developed that RWP is concerned not only with countering migration and processes of societal liberalisation, but also with defending an existing way of life that is firmly rooted in the destructive appropriation of nature. As a current of right-wing politics, RWP defends the imperial mode of living by expressing scepticism towards the existence of anthropogenic climate change. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the political economy of RWP by linking the dimensions of social domination with the appropriation of nature.","PeriodicalId":51447,"journal":{"name":"New Political Economy","volume":" 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135863923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
