Intimate citizenship and compensatory masculinities
Authors: Farahani Fataneh , Al-Serhan Amani , Thapar-Björkert Suruchi
Published: October 2024

This study explores the complex conditions of cross-border marriages between Syrian refugee women and Jordanian men in Mafraq, Jordan, within the context of South-South migration. Through qualitative interviews in Mughayyir, Raba', and Zaatari, the research examines specific gendered and raced relations shaped by discourses and practices of femininity and masculinity. Racialized gendered dynamics portray the strategic mobilization of non-hegemonic and 'compensatory masculinities' among Jordanian men in response to Syrian women's perceived vulnerability. Drawing on Ken Plummer's 'intimate citizenship,' the study scrutinizes marriage decision-making entangled with political discourses, revealing the imbrication of personal lives with globalized politics, embedded within the gendered patriarchal demands of the hosting society. In contrast to studies on North-South cross-border marriages, this research focuses on the South, shedding light on non-migrant husbands' experiences and their compensatory strategies. The 'intimate citizenship' framework illuminates challenges surrounding desirable and undesirable unions within displaced Syrian women and Jordanian men, unveiling the politicization and stigma associated with cross-border marriages. By addressing societal judgments and introducing 'heterosexual capital' and 'compensatory masculinity,' the research enriches our understanding of South-South migration complexities, prompting a reevaluation of existing frameworks and fostering a more nuanced discussion.

This paper provides an in-depth case study of dementia activity centres and dementia cafes in public spaces in China. It highlights contemporary social issues, such as the lack of universal education and dementia-friendly spaces. Through an examination of these challenges from the perspective of the built environment, this paper proposes cognitively friendly design strategies at the levels of appearance and function. It also incorporates principles of inclusive design, together with a theoretical framework for the construction of the construction of cognitively dementia-friendly spaces. Finally, this paper explores these strategies from the perspectives of spatial transformation, people's aspirations and social support.
Rethinking the Start of Using Textile Fibers
Authors: Zhang Xiyao , Yang Xiaoming
Published: October 2024

Textile historians tend to demonstrate the history of textiles from the start of using fibers yet rarely explain how people knew to use them. With an investigation of the early textile-related remains and a theoretical analysis of the difficulty in and the demand for using fiber materials, a hypothesis is raised that the know-how of using fibers came from the experience of making textiles with both fineness and strength, which was accumulated from the early technologies of interlacing and cord-making. The properties of fiber materials should have been discovered thanks to the frequent use of stripped or sliced materials taken from plants. Among all the main types of the earliest fiber materials used by humans, invisible plant fibers should have been the first to be used, cotton the second, wool synchronous with or a little later than cotton, and silk the last.

Impact of Seawater Immersion of (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)x(Bi, Pb)-2223 Composites
Authors: Najem Ahmad , Anas M. , Habanjar K. , Awad R.
Published: October 2024

This work investigated the effects of adding Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles in (Bi, Pb)-2223 superconductor. The conventional solid-state reaction method was used to create (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)x(Bi, Pb)-2223 composites (0.00 ≤ x < 0.40 wt. %). X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the main phase of the tetragonal (Bi, Pb)-2223. The morphology and elemental contents of the produced samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). When compared to the pure (Bi, Pb)-2223 sample, EDX verified that adding Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 to the superconductor improved the adsorption of saltwater components. Vickers microhardness (Hv) was measured at room temperature for 30 seconds with different applied forces (0.49 to 9.80 N) and different durations of the saltwater immersion (2, 6, 12, and 24 hours). Hv increased with increasing the immersion time in seawater from 2 to 24 hours. An optimum improvement (69.08%) was obtained for an addition of 0.04 wt. % of Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4, where Hv values increased from 0.524 GPa to 0.886 GPa. With a deviation of less than 5%, the indentation-induced cracking (IIC) model provided the best theoretical analysis at the plateau limit region for measurements made before and after immersion in seawater.

Published: October 2024

Background: There are a number of materials available in the market for the core buildup of endodontically treated teeth. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with composite resin, amalgam and glass ionomer cement as core buildup materials. Methods: Forty-eight sound-extracted mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups of 12 teeth each. The first group served as a control and consisted of intact sound teeth. In all of the remaining teeth, root canal treatment was performed first. In Group II composite resin was used as the core build-up material Group III amalgam and Group IV GIC. Teeth were then subjected to fracture using a universal testing machine. Results: One Way ANOVA test was performed to study the differences in the data of the four groups. The mean forces required for fracture were 1050 N for control teeth, 738 N for composite, 872 N for amalgam and 567 N for GIC. The variation is of statistical significance as depicted by a p-value of 0.003. Conclusion: The highest strength was shown by intact sound teeth. Teeth restored with composite resin and amalgam had similar strengths and those with GIC had significantly lower resistance to fracture.

Authors: Habib Murad , Chaudhary Muhammad Amjad
Published: October 2024

Background: For thousands of years human beings have been using heat as a source of ligature and to treat the wound either it’s from the trauma or fought in the wars. In 1854 an imminent surgeon Albrecht Theodor Middendorf published a paper on the application of electrocautery in surgical operations. The objective of the study was to analyze the hazards of surgical smoke inhalation in Paediatric Surgery residents and to create awareness of its signs and symptoms, risk factors and utilizing preventive measures. Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted involving all the Paediatric Surgery residents enrolled on a supervised training program in Pakistan between 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 at all the tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan. Their socio-demographic, academic data, signs and symptoms and risk factors were calculated. Data was analyzed with descriptive and comparative analysis using SPSS. A Pearson contingency coefficient is used to determine the association between categorical variables. Results: Our study included all the Paediatric Surgery residents in Pakistan n=155 over a span of one year starting from July 1st 2022 to June 30th 2023. N=75 (48.4%) were males and n=80 (52.6%) were female residents. Their mean age was 29.5 years±4 (SD). 41% of the residents were from Khyber Teaching Hospital, 32% from Children’s Hospital, 14% from National Institute of Child Health Karachi, 9.8% from Children’s Hospital Islamabad (PIMS) and 5.2% from Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. N=135 (87.1%) of the residents used electrocautery while performing the surgery (p=0.006). N=121 (78.1%) were aware of its hazards (p=0.341). 90% think they are at an increased risk (p=0.032). Most of them (84.6%) wear a surgical mask while only (64%) wear protective equipment (p=0.321). Think they are at an increased risk of cancers (83.9%) (p=0.002) and should be screened (93.7%) (p=0.343). Conclusion: Paediatric surgery residents are at an increased risk of surgical smoke inhalation, pointing to the emerging need to adopt protective measures by creating awareness, and utilizing health safety checklists and smoke evacuation mechanisms in operation rooms. All residents should seek knowledge on the subject and use personal protective equipment for less harmful effects on their health.
POST RENAL TRANSPLANT MALIGNANCIES; A BASIC CONCEPT
Authors: Nabi Zahid , Zahid Tabeer , Nabi Rayyan
Published: October 2024

Background: Kidney transplantation remains the best possible solution for patients with chronic kidney disease, providing better long-term outcomes and drastically improving quality of life. However, it comes with its own set of risks. The use of immunosuppressives following renal transplants has been shown to increase the development of malignancies and infections, and the occurrence of post-transplant malignancies is now the third most common cause of death in transplant patients. This involves multiple mechanisms, including the carcinogenic tendency of some immunosuppressive drugs, along with the induction and promotion of post-transplant malignancies by certain viruses. The quantification of Cancer risk must be made an integral part of the overall management of transplant patients, and appropriate follow-up screening needs to be adopted. Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, and non-melanoma skin cancers have a greater incidence. If a malignancy develops immediately after transplantation, it may have been transmitted from the donor; donor-transmitted and donor-derived tumours may be differentiated based on a two-year time limit. Immunosuppressive medications with carcinogenic tendencies, reduced immunological control of oncogenic viruses, and poor immunosurveillance remain the most important risk factors. The gravity of this situation is further exacerbated by the fact that not only is there an increased risk of developing these malignancies in the post-transplant period, but the prognosis is also worsened when compared to non-transplant patients. All transplant centers should therefore adopt a multidisciplinary approach including early detection and prompt treatment, to improve outcomes in transplanted patients.

Background: Several previous studies have suggested a positive association between Alopecia Areata and thyroid disorders. However, there is a paucity of such studies in our country. Our study aimed to know the frequency of thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity in patients reporting to Dermatology Outdoors with Alopecia Areata (AA) and to compare it with normal controls. Methods: This was a Case-Control study conducted at the Dermatology outpatient of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.  102 patients with AA and 102 age and sex-matched controls were enrolled. The age of onset of the disease, the involved sites and the presence of other associated diseases were noted. Venous blood samples were taken from patients and controls for Thyroid function tests and Anti- Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (Anti-TPO Ab). The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results: The mean age of onset of the disease was 30.37±12.53. 91.2% of patients had the classic patch type of AA. The most commonly involved site was Scalp. Associated diseases were found in eight (7.8%) patients. Thyroid dysfunction was found in two patients and none of the Controls.  Both the patients had Subclinical thyroid disease. The p-value was 0.157, which was not statistically significant. Thyroid autoimmunity (raised Anti-TPO Ab titre) was detected in five (4.90%) patients and none of the Controls. The p-value was 0.024, which was statistically significant. Conclusion: AA is significantly associated with Thyroid autoimmunity but there is no significant association between AA and clinical or subclinical thyroid disease.

Language learners’ expectations and satisfaction level in a telecollaboration project
Authors: Di Sarno-García Sofia
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyse the data collected in a six-week telecollaboration project between 9 Spanish-speaking learners of English and 5 international students from the Erasmus+ programme, who engaged in both synchronous and asynchronous activities with 10 English-speaking learners of Spanish. Data was gathered through a pre-questionnaire enquiring about learners’ expectations at the beginning of the project and a post-questionnaire seeking information about students’ satisfaction at the end of the project. The results revealed that students’ expectations mostly aligned with the perceived benefits after carrying out the exchange. However, some of the participants found it difficult to meet on a weekly basis with their virtual partners as was required. This suggests that students participating in telecollaboration projects may need further guidance and help to plan their meetings. Despite this, most of the comments received at the end of the project were positive and showed participants’ overall satisfaction.

The textile industry is a major consumer of water, generating large volumes of wastewater contaminated with harmful substances, particularly azo dyes, which contain aromatic rings, amines, and sulfonic groups that contribute to their environmental toxicity. The use of microbial agents for wastewater treatment offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution, minimizing sludge production. Fungi from the Caatinga biome have demonstrated potential for bioremediation, especially under extreme environmental conditions. This study explores the ability of Aspergillus tamarii Kita to decolorize the azo dye Direct Black 22 (DB22) under varying conditions, including the use of both active and inactive fungal biomass, in static and agitated systems (120 rpm), at a controlled temperature of 30°C. Dye concentrations of 50, 125, and 250 mg/L were evaluated over time intervals of 75, 180, and 180 minutes, respectively. The influence of dissolved oxygen concentration and redox potential on the decolorization process was also investigated to identify optimal treatment conditions. Decolorization efficiency was quantified via spectrophotometric analysis. Results revealed decolorization rates of 100%, 97%, and 63% for the respective dye concentrations, with active biomass in agitated conditions achieving the highest removal rates. The study further demonstrated that dissolved oxygen levels and redox potential are critical factors in enhancing dye decolorization. These findings underscore the bioremediation potential of Aspergillus tamarii Kita in treating textile dye effluents, offering a promising approach to sustainable industrial wastewater management.

O crescimento excessivo dos centros urbanos potencializa a impermeabilização do solo, a qual é responsável pela ocorrência de inundações, provocando a contaminação dos mananciais de abastecimento público. Para amenizar esse problema, é essencial encontrar mecanismos que proporcionem harmonia entre as demandas de desenvolvimento e os aspectos de sustentabilidade, com enfoque nas questões ambientais, econômicas e sanitárias. Dentre as alternativas disponíveis, está inserido o concreto permeável, que é um material que almeja recuperar a aptidão drenante da superfície. Os pavimentos de concreto permeável funcionam como reservatórios e viabilizam a infiltração da água no subleito, de forma que cooperam positivamente no funcionamento do sistema de drenagem. O objetivo deste estudo é examinar o desempenho mecânico de um concreto permeável, por meio de ensaios de resistência à compressão simples, tração na flexão e compressão diametral. Também, realizar correlações de imagens via software GOM. Desta forma, pretendendo avaliar a possibilidade de utilização do concreto permeável em vias públicas, foram examinados 11 corpos de prova cilíndricos, extraídos de blocos prismáticos, para ensaios de resistência à compressão simples e tração por compressão diametral. Além disso, foram confeccionados 4 CP’s prismáticos para o teste de tração na flexão em 4 pontos. Assim, verificou-se que o concreto proposto atende as normativas para utilização em passeios e, com um razoável aperfeiçoamento do traço, poderá ser empregado em situações de circulação de veículos leves. No comparativo entre o deslocamento da amostra submetida à tração na flexão por meio do LVDT e do software GOM, ambos apresentaram comportamento e grandezas semelhantes.

El rol de los padres como responsable de la crianza de los hijos es muy importante, pues a través de esta se formarán niños con educación y valores, sin embargo, cuando se trata de la crianza de niños con trastorno del espectro autista es un verdadero desafío, ya que las características de este trastorno son la capacidad de relacionarse y comunicarse con los demás, realizar comportamientos repetitivos, entre otras, lo cual hace que su crianza sea un reto para los padres, teniendo que aplicar estrategias diferentes a las que usan con un niño sano. El objetivo de la presente investigación es diseñar una propuesta psicoeducativa para el fortalecimiento de crianza en padres de niños con trastorno espectro autista en la parroquia Simón Bolívar, Portoviejo. Los resultados de la aplicación de la entrevista evidenciaron que la mayoría de padres asume el estilo de crianza autoritativo o democrático, el cual favorece la crianza de los niños con el trastorno ya que se establecen normas y reglas, pero también se mantiene una comunicación eficaz con los niños, por otro lado, una minoría se clasifico como permisivo porque a pesar que ponen reglar y normas no se preocupan porque sean cumplidas.  Como conclusión se determinó la importancia que tiene que los padres puedan contar con asesoramiento y capacitación constante por parte de expertos en el trastorno espectro autista contribuyendo a que puedan mejorar la crianza de sus hijos.

La cláusula arbitral en el derecho deportivo ha suscitado un debate sobre su equidad y las implicaciones que tiene en los derechos de los deportistas, particularmente en lo que respecta al consentimiento y el derecho a la defensa. En este análisis se explora cómo estas cláusulas pueden ser impuestas de manera forzada a los deportistas, limitando su acceso a una jurisdicción ordinaria y afectando su derecho a un juicio justo. El caso de Claudia Pechstein, una patinadora de velocidad sancionada por la Unión Internacional de Patinaje bajo acusaciones de dopaje, es emblemático en este debate. El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos concluyó que la ausencia de una audiencia pública en el proceso arbitral de Pechstein violaba su derecho a un juicio justo. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se examinan las implicaciones éticas y legales de las cláusulas arbitrales en el deporte, destacando la necesidad de reformar los procedimientos de arbitraje deportivo para garantizar mayor transparencia y protección de los derechos fundamentales de los atletas.

The material for a cutting tool needs to be carefully selected to withstand high temperatures during cutting and have good wear performance. The use of cutting tools made from cemented carbide material was studied due to its potential in terms of mechanical properties that are ideal at high temperatures up to 1000 °C and being cheaper than other materials. This investigation of the dry wear of this cutting material focused on temperatures of 25 °C, 200 °C, and 300 °C, with loads of 50 N, 100 N, and 150 N. The weight loss, friction coefficient, and change of the pin microstructure were determined. It was found that the higher the temperature and load applied to the cemented carbide pin, the more the microstructure changed, and the percentage of weight loss increased up to 0.55%. The wear rate on the cemented carbide pins was higher when applied to a stainless steel disc compared to a mild steel disc. The simulation revealed that the von Mises stress on the stainless steel disc was 51.759 Pa, while that on the mild-steel disc was 60.379 Pa. This indicates that both materials did not fail because the von Mises stress was lower than the disc yield stress.

Therefore, accurate and continuous air quality monitoring is crucial to mitigate the impacts of air pollution. This research aims to design an Internet of Things (IoT)--based particle counter capable of real-time air quality monitoring and reporting via an online platform. The system utilizes a PMS5003 sensor to measure PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations precisely. Data from the sensor is processed by an ESP8266 microcontroller connected to the internet, enabling direct data transmission to an online platform for further analysis and visualization. Testing is done by creating a 1x1x1 meter testing chamber to simulate various environmental conditions and validate the device's performance. Results show that the particle counter provides accurate data, with an error rate of less than 10% compared to standard devices. The device demonstrates reliable operation across different environmental conditions, showcasing its robustness in practical applications. This IoT-based particle counter offers an innovative solution for effective and efficient air quality monitoring. It is expected to significantly contribute to human health protection efforts and minimize the adverse environmental impacts of air pollution.
