Successes, Challenges and Opportunities towards Universal Health Coverage for Maternal and Child Health in South East Asian Region Countries: A Systematic Review
Authors: Perera Upuli Amaranganie Pushpakumari , Gilks Charles , Assefa Yibeltal
Published: October 2022

Background: Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG-3) aims to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) assures delivering health services to all who need without suffering from financial hardships. This paper aims to identify the successes, challenges and opportunities towards achieving UHC for maternal and childcare in countries in the World Health Organization, South East Asian Region (SEAR).
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, WHO research portal and Google scholar for studies published in English from 2010 to 2020. We included studies conducted in maternal and childcare focusing on challenges, opportunities or successes towards UHC in countries in SEAR. Data was synthesized and presented as a narrative description, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: We identified 62 studies with different study designs from eight SEAR countries , majority were from India. We observed successes or opportunities in access and quality in maternal and child health (MCH) with government cash transfer schemes and private sector contribution in India, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Politically prioritized MCH care was identified as an opportunity in a state of India.
Inadequate healthcare infrastructure including trained human resources, medical products and other supplies were identified as the main challenges in the region. Facilities are overcrowded in Bangladesh and Indonesia. From provider perspective, health care workers’ knowledge and skills as well as attitudes and behaviors were also identified as issues in the region. Lack of health literacy, misconceptions and cultural barriers are identified as challenges from clients’ side. Difficulties in geographical distribution and transport were contributing to poor healthcare access in four countries. Deficiencies in government policies and administration were identified in some fields. Poverty was detected as an overarching barrier.
Conclusions: SEAR countries have demonstrated improvements in access, quality and equity on MCH towards UHC. There are, however, challenges related to human and other resources, health care facilities and socio-economic determinants of health. Regional bodies as well as authorities in individual countries should work on these issues to address challenges to achieve UHC.

The Mediating Effect of Interpersonal Intelligence on the Effects of Early Childhood Teachers’ Playfulness on Play Support Competencies
Authors:   Korean Journal Of Early Childhood Special Education, Baek Jongnam , Park So-young
Published: October 2022

This study verified the mediating effect of interpersonal intelligence in the effect of playfulness of early childhood teachers on play support competencies. The subjects of this study were 128 early childhood teachers working in national, public, and private kindergartens. As the research tools, the playfulness scale for adults, the play support competency measurement tool for early childhood teachers, and the interpersonal intelligence measurement tool were analyzed by structural equation model. The results of the study are as follows. First, the playfulness of early childhood teachers does not directly affect play support competencies. As a sub-factor of playfulness, among cheerfulness, spontaneity, and creativity, if early childhood teachers impulsiveness were high, the teachers play support competencies were rather low. Second, the playfulness of early childhood teachers fully mediates interpersonal intelligence and has a positive effect on play support competencies. The necessity of strengthening the play support competency through support for improving the interpersonal intelligence of early childhood teachers was discussed, and suggested to improve the play support competencies of early childhood teachers in kindergartens.
A Single Case Study on Art Therapy for Development Promotion of Developmentally Delayed Infants
Authors:   Korean Journal Of Early Childhood Special Education, Kim Min kyung , Choi Myoung Sun
Published: October 2022

This study is a single case study of art therapy to promote the development of infants with delayed development. The target infants were 5-year-old boys, and a total of 171 sessions of art therapy were conducted from June 1, 2019 to August 30, 2021, taking into account the emotional and behavioural responses and developmental levels of infants. When examining the process of change in the art treatment of infants with delayed development, first, the infant's sensory range was expanded and the infant's attitude was changed to be receptive to ambiguous stimuli. Second, infants' expressive language has increased and the quality of the spoken language has improved. Third, the ability to convert negative emotions into positive emotions has been improved and emotional interaction has been enhanced. Fourth, self-help technology has improved and adaptability in daily life has improved. Therefore, it is significant that this study prepared inductive data on art therapy for infants with developmental delay by examining the experience and change process of infants with developmental delay in the art treatment process.
Time-evolution of local information: thermalization dynamics of local observables
Authors: Klein Kvorning Thomas , Herviou Loïc , Bardarson Jens H
Published: October 2022

Quantum many-body dynamics generically result in increasing entanglement that eventually leads to thermalization of local observables.
This makes the exact description of the dynamics complex despite the apparent simplicity of (high-temperature) thermal states.
For accurate but approximate simulations one needs a way to keep track of essential (quantum) information while discarding inessential one.
To this end, we first introduce the concept of the information lattice, which supplements the physical spatial lattice with an additional dimension and where a local Hamiltonian gives rise to well-defined locally conserved von Neumann information current.
This provides a convenient and insightful way of capturing the flow, through time and space, of information during quantum time-evolution, and gives a distinct signature of when local degrees of freedom decouple from long-range entanglement.
As an example, we describe such decoupling of local degrees of freedom for the mixed-field transverse Ising model.
Building on this, we secondly construct algorithms to time-evolve sets of local density matrices without any reference to a global state.
With the notion of information currents, we motivate algorithms based on the intuition that information for statistical reasons flows from small to large scales.
Using this guiding principle, we construct an algorithm that, at worst, shows two-digit convergence in time-evolutions up to very late times for diffusion process governed by the mixed-field transverse Ising Hamiltonian.
While we focus on dynamics in 1D with nearest-neighbor Hamiltonians, the algorithms do not essentially rely on these assumptions and can in principle be generalized to higher dimensions and more complicated Hamiltonians.

Authors:   Department for Social Work, The College of Social Work, Belgrade, Serbia, Ilic Vladimir , Medenica Veselin ,   Department for Occupational Therapy, The College of Social Work, Belgrade, Serbia
Published: October 2022

The aim of the research was to determine whether the innovative support service “ Programme of mental arithmetic” has positive effects on the cognitive abilities and the satisfaction of life of the elderly in institutional accommodation. New support services for the elderly are rarely developed, so it is expected that in addition to the direct positive effects on cognitive abilities, there are also indirect effects on the perception of life satisfaction. The study involved 60 elderly people, divided into control and experimental groups. Cognitive abilities were tested using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and life satisfaction by using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). An increase in scores was found on both instruments after the program was conducted in the experimental group. The scores of the control group did not change significantly.

Religión y racismo en un fragmento de The Well of Loneliness
Authors: Almada Ugalde Tanya
Published: October 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es revisar un pasaje de The Well of Loneliness, de Radclyffe Hall, en el que religión y racismo se entrelazan para crear una escena cargada de elementos espirituales y analogías entre la experiencia de la negritud y la inversión sexual, y analizar si estos elementos se mantienen en la traducción de Ulyses Petit de Murat. A través de un análisis de zonas de significación se descubrieron decisiones traductoras que afectan la caracterización de los personajes afroamericanos y que posibilita interpretaciones por parte del lectorado hispanohablante distintas a las pretendidas por la autora para su audiencia original. Esta investigación es pionera en los estudios de traducción, ya que la literatura sobre The Well… se enfoca en su censura en España, mas no en el análisis de la traducción, en particular de elementos ideológicos como la religión y el racismo.
Comparación de expectativas de vida entre estudiantes universitarios migrantes locales y residentes en Saltillo, Coahuila
Authors: Escobedo Sagaz José Luis , Mancillas Solis Maricela
Published: October 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las diferencias de expectativas de vida de los estudiantes migrantes frente a los que no lo son. Se considera que tradicionalmente el hombre se ha encargado principalmente de la parte productiva pública. Para el análisis se aplicó una encuesta en dos universidades públicas ubicadas en Saltillo, Coahuila. Con la información obtenida de esta se construyó un índice de preferencias de lo público-productivo y se clasificaron los resultados en dos categorías: género y vecindad. Como resultado, el índice muestra un equilibrio en las preferencias de actividades, con un ligero sesgo en los roles tradicionales y un desplazamiento hacia la parte productiva privada conforme más alejado se esté del lugar de origen. La limitación principal es usar la vecindad como criterio, y se sugiere tiempo de traslado. Se concluye que el género y la migración tienen efectos sobre las expectativas de vida.
Participación social y políticas públicas para el abastecimiento de alimentos básicos en México
Authors: Téllez Silva José Merced , Vargas Velázquez Sergio , Hernández Ávila Jesús , Gómez Demetrio William
Published: October 2022

La participación social se ha promovido decididamente en políticas públicas latinoamericanas de renombre como el Programa Nacional Solidaridad, Progresa, Oportunidades, la Cruzada Nacional contra el Hambre (México), Hambre Cero y el Plan Brasil Sin Miseria (Brasil), así como las políticas de seguridad alimentaria de Cuba y Uruguay. Ahora, en México, con la política Seguridad Alimentaria Mexicana se busca impulsar al sector agropecuario para aumentar la producción, el beneficio económico y el bienestar de las comunidades rurales con la participación de productores y sus organizaciones. Por ello, se realizó un análisis hermenéutico de enfoque sociocrítico sobre las políticas alimentarias incluyentes con mayor éxito relativo en Latinoamérica con objeto de contrastarlas con el componente de la participación social considerado en la política de Seguridad Alimentaria Mexicana. Se encontró que las políticas alimentarias con mayor éxito relativo muestran una mayor participación de los productores y sus organizaciones; no obstante, hay poca evidencia empírica de la política social que interviene en las políticas públicas, lo que limita su análisis en función de resultados.
Enamorarse de una quimera

Published: October 2022

El presente estudio analiza las andanzas de Camerina Rabasa, personaje principal de Polvos de arroz (1959), del veracruzano Sergio Galindo. El objetivo principal es mostrar la manera en que, a partir de un acto de lectura, Camerina construye una relación ideal con Juan Antonio. Asimismo, tiene como propósito explicar el tránsito que la protagonista recorre para llegar a un estado de soledad, del que solo puede escapar mediante el recurso de la imaginación. Finalmente, tiene como cometido evidenciar la constante tensión entre facticidad y ficción, en la que la primera prevalece y conduce a un desencanto. El trabajo concluye con la idea de que Camerina Rabasa es la hiperbolización de una manera de leer y de una forma de relacionarse con el mundo. El valor de esta investigación radica en que ofrece una mirada nueva de esta novela de Galindo, la cual, tradicionalmente, se la ha observado solo desde el relato de costumbres, desde su relación con el realismo literario y desde la tipificación de algunos rasgos “femeninos”.
Factor Xa Inhibitors

Published: October 2022

Thrombin occupies a central position in thrombus formation and eventually has been a target to develop anticoagulant agents. Although both heparin and warfarin have been used as anticoagulants, a more useful, ideal anticoagulant is desired at bedside. Numerous efforts to develop a direct inhibitor of thrombin led to the discovery of improved anticoagulants including argatoroban. However, no orally available agent has been developed yet. FXa is responsible for prothrombin activation to generate thrombin and provides an alternative strategy to inhibit the coagulation cascade. In contrast with ATIII-dependent type FXa inhibitor, direct ATIII­ independent type inhibitors, such as tick anticoagulant peptide and antistasin, showed an inhibitory effect on arterial as well as venous thrombosis models, which was comparable to the effects of thrombin direct inhibitors or glycoprotein llb/Illa inhibitors. We synthesized a low molecular weight, orally active FXa inhibitor, DX- 9065l!, which also showed antithrombotic effect in various kind of thrombosis models. Further, FXa inhibitors have been known to have unique characteristics preferable to those of thrombin inhibitors. In this article, we review the pharmacological profile and structure-activity relationships of FXa inhibitors, ranging from naturally occuring to synthetic small molecular types.
Animal Models of Restenosis: Myth or Reality
Authors: Lucas A. , Liu L.Y. , Dai E. , Hobman M. Lundstrom , Kolodziejczyk M.D.
Published: October 2022

Recurrent atherosclerotic plaque growth, restenosis, continues to be a significant problem, severely limiting the usefulness of interventions such as balloon angioplasty. Percutaneous angioplasty is designed to open narrowed or occluded arteries that cause acute heart attacks, but 30-50% of angioplasty vessels reocclude within 6 months. In this paper we review the animal models of atherosclerosis and restenosis. None of the models currently in use is entirely acceptable or accurate for the study of new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of restenosis. In this review we discuss the basis of native and induced atherosclerosis for each animal model and the success rate for each model in the prediction of clinical efficacy is then examined. The issues of single versus multiple arterial injury models as well as coronary versus peripheral arterial models are also examined. We also address the potential use of in vitro organ and cell coculture testing of new anti-restenosis agents. We have concluded after this extensive review that there is no animal model system with proven predictive accuracy in testing new agents. Further, the use of multiple injury models versus single injury models is not established. The swine and nonhuman primate models have the highest predictive accuracy, but the primate model has many inherent difficulties. The rat, rabbit, and avian models have selective use for assessment of new pharmaceutical agents and interventional devices. Final analysis of any agent as a treatment for restenosis requires clinical testing for a assessment of efficacy.
TNF-α in Human Diseases

Published: October 2022

TNF-α is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by monycytes and macrophages. Excessive or prolonged production of TNF-α has been implicated in inflammatory processes as well as in the pathogenesis of other human diseases. There are a number of strategies for inhibiting TNF-α activity ranging from transcriptional events to neutralization of the soluble cytokine. Several of these approaches are being pursued in the clinic, suggesting that some novel, anti-cytokine agents may come to the market in the near future.

Terpenes are compounds derived from the secondary metabolism of plants, which act biologically in several functionalities, fighting several predators such as fungi and bacteria. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes are some of the main compounds that characterize the chemical composition of essential oils. However, this concentration depends on several factors, such as the type of ecosystem, climate, temperature, and other circumstances that can directly impact the chemical composition of essential oil. The Myrtaceae family is considered one of the main families of Brazilian flora and presents a wide diversity of species. Within this family, some species produce essential oils rich in terpenoids, which, besides being responsible for some biological activities, have contributed to the expansion and search for new natural bioactive substances present in such volatile substances. Given the above, this chapter presents a literature search with current studies that prove the biological and antioxidant activities of terpenoids present in essential oils of species of the Myrtaceae family.

Substances used as repellents to avoid contact with ticks and tickborne disease are essential to control. Several compounds have been developed throughout human history to promote repellent activity, and in the last decades, synthetic repellents have been widely used. However, several humans, animal, and environmental health problems have been related to synthetic compounds. The use of natural molecules with low toxicity becomes an alternative to replace these compounds. The natural terpenoids from secondary plant metabolites are an essential group with repellency activity on different arthropods. This chapter addresses the primary terpenes with repellency activity, briefly identifying the effectiveness of tick repellents, test methodology, primary terpenes tested, and activity. The evaluated compound showed good repellent activity on different tick species and stages. However, through this chapter, we show the variations in the techniques used to evaluate the bioprospection of terpenes with possible repellent activity and a lack of in vivo repellency studies with terpenes. Finally, we emphasize the repellent activity of terpenes to encourage the use of natural compounds as a strategy to control ticks

Terpenoids, or isoprenoids, represent a large and structurally diverse class of isoprene-based secondary metabolites that play a fundamental role in the organism of all living beings. In nature, terpenes are essential for the interaction of organisms with their environment, mediating antagonistic and beneficial interactions between organisms. In this chapter, we will cover the biotechnology production of terpenes, as well as their biosynthesis by micro-organisms. We will also investigate the various pharmaceutical applications of these compounds.

Published: October 2022

With the tremendous increase in the use of internet in almost every sector ofsociety, assigning addresses has appeared to be inefficient. The previous InternetProtocol version 4 (i.e. IPv4) failed to fulfill the highly growing demand. Thoughprevious Internet Protocol Version 4 was used for assigning addresses, it could notsustain the high demand resulting in the downfall of IPv4. The chapter outlines thevarious advantages and disadvantages of the shift from IPv4 to IPv6. It also highlightsthe security threats of both the protocols and security issues due to which thecoexistence of the two protocols was thought of as the solution. This chapter overallcovers the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, their uses and management, followed by theanalysis of IPv6 in terms of security issues. It further takes into account the effect ofIPv6 on the world of Internet of Things (IoT). The eventual objective of this frameworkis to give comprehensive and detailed knowledge about the internet protocols in theInternet-of-Things world.
Acute Respiratory Infections: Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Management, and Prevention
Authors: Oladapo Adenaiye Oluwasanmi , Marie McPhaul Kathleen , Milton Donald K.
Published: October 2022

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are infectious diseases of the respiratory
tract caused by viruses, bacteria, and atypical bacteria. They range in severity and even
mild cases may cause a significant reduction in workplace productivity. ARIs
commonly occur in outbreaks and disproportionally impact workers in occupations
where workers are in close proximity to co-workers, members of the public, or where
they reside in densely populated housing. High-risk workers include those in the
healthcare sector, protective service, food and meat processing, service, and education
industries. A person can become infected by inhaling virus-laden aerosols, having
virus-contaminated sprayborne drops impinge on exposed mucous membranes, and
touching contaminated surfaces followed by self-inoculation. More than one transfer
process may be involved in the transmission, and the dominant route may differ for
different causative agents, environments, and activity patterns. Preventing ARI
transmission in the workplace must be holistic in approach and begin with anticipation
and recognition of potential risks, reinforced by the continuous evaluation and
implementation of control strategies. Control measures should be layered and multiple
routes of transmission should be addressed. Controls should be adapted to the specific
workplace and the ARI to prevent pathogen introduction, rapidly detect cases, and
promptly eliminate exposure. Prevention and control can be accomplished by
promoting vaccination, improving ventilation and air cleaning, providing paid sick
leave, flexible working conditions, and work-from-home options. Promoting hand
sanitation and providing appropriate personal protective equipment are important but

Authors: Naghib Seyed Morteza , Hoseinpour Samin , Zarshad Shadi
Published: October 2022

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the localized drug delivery system landscape. The 10 chapters provide a detailed introduction in polymers, nanostructures and nanocomposites for developing localized controlled drug delivery systems (LCDDSs) in the form of stimuli-responsive delivery systems, targeted drug delivery systems or the combination of both. A discussion on manufacturing techniques, optimization, challenges and adaptation of LCDDSs for the treatment of a wide range of diseases is also included.

This simple and informative resource conveys an understanding about designing novel drug delivery systems to students in advanced pharmacology, biotechnology, materials science and biochemistry study programs. Readers will be equipped with the knowledge of regulating drug release rates to get a desired pharmacological profile, that helps a researcher to ensure a high therapeutic effectiveness.

The detailed information about various drug delivery systems and a compilation of recent literature sources also paves the way for research scholars to construct a drug targeting framework for their research plans.
Environmental Quality and Economic Growth: An empirical analysis in Asian countries
Authors: Chong Siew Huay , Tun Yin Li , Shah Said Zamin , Rasiah Ratneswary
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the relationship between environmental quality and economic growth in Asian countries. The findings from Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator affirmed the existence of a long-run relationship between environmental quality and economic development. The higher the economic growth, the higher the CO2 consumption. In the short run, economic growth exacts no harmful impact. Researchers and policymakers should be careful about the effect of economic growth and rising incomes on environmental pollution with the prioritisation of sustainable usage of environmental policy. Investment and consumption of renewable energy that is less harmful to the environment should be focused on minimising environmental pollution.
Keywords: environmental quality; economic growth; Asian countries; PMG

Circular Supply Chain Management and Circular Economy: A conceptual model
Authors: Shaharudin Mohd Rizaimy , Mohamad Mokhtar Ahmad Rais , Wararatchai Preecha , Legino Rafeah
Published: October 2022

This study develops a circular supply chain management model. The review shows how CSCM promotes green supply chain management and sustainability by extending its sustainable dimension beyond the original producer. Closed-loop and open-loop supply chains are CSCM components. Using contingency theory and transaction cost theory, the CSCM model proposes that product circularity in closed-loop and open-loop supply chains affects a company's circular economy performance. This model explains CSCM's popularity in current literature, which supports the circular economy.
Keywords: Circular, Closed-loop, Open-loop, Sustainability, Supply Chain

A Comparison on Physical Degradations and Identification of Material between Two Malay Songket Artefacts
Authors: Syed Kamarulzaman Sharifah Tahirah , Taif Basitah , Ab Kadir Muhammad Ismail , Abdul Razak Rajabi
Published: October 2022

This paper discusses the physical deterioration of the two traditional Malay textile Songkets preserved by the Department of Museums Malaysia. The identification of material and degradation were investigated by using visual observation and scientific analysis. The visual observation was carried out to analyse the physical appearance by examining the characteristics, colour visualization, and the degree of deterioration of the textiles with the aid of a handheld optical digital microscope to capture the tangible characteristics and damages on the artefacts. Scientific analysis was carried out by using the FTIR instrument to determine the materials of two traditional Malay textile Songkets. The selections were controlled by the colour selection, type, form, style, and the material of the artefacts. The results show that both artefacts were made from silk and experienced physical deterioration. However, the degree of degradation was even more pronounced for Case Study 2 (CS2) although the material is the same. Furthermore, a distinct poor condition could be seen in Case Study 2 (CS2) in comparison to the condition of Case Study 1 (CS1).
