Karakter ini di harapkan dapat membantu anak korban kekerasan agar mampu berinteraksi dengan lingkungan sosial, diterima dan dihargai oleh keluarga dan masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode PAR dimana PAR Merupakan salah satu jenis metode pengabdian untuk mencapai pemahaman yang saling menguntungkan, dengan menghubungkan orang, gagasan, dan sumber. Hasil pelaksanaan bimbingan kelompok yang di lakukan untuk menumbuhkan motivasi diri pada penerima manfaat menunjukan bahwa dari bimbingan kelompok yang telah diselenggarakan mampu memberikan motivasi terhadap anak sehingga anak memiliki semangat untuk menggapai mimpi mereka.

Abstract
Acts of violence against children are still common. Children who experience and feel violence directly will usually form a bad self-image, find it difficult to trust others, experience excessive fear, have no life expectancy, depression, stress, and suicidal ideation. The community service activities carried out at the Paramita Centre in Mataram are one of the strategies used in dealing with the violence that occurred. The handling of violence against children at the "Paramita" Centre in Mataram uses the group guidance method. The existence of this guidance is expected to help children achieve their freedom again and have the strength of character to be responsible, honest, religious, work hard and be able to motivate themselves to behave positively. This character is expected to help children who are victims of violence to be able to interact with the social environment and be accepted and appreciated by their families and communities. The method used is the PAR method where PAR is a type of dedication method to achieve mutually beneficial understanding, by connecting people, ideas, and sources. The results of the implementation of group guidance which is carried out to foster self-motivation in beneficiaries show that the group guidance that has been held is able to motivate children so that children have the enthusiasm to achieve their dreams.

Schiff Base-Nickel(II) Complex: A robust luminescent probe for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol in an aqueous medium
Authors: Altun Ayhan
Published: December 2024

This study delved into the fluorescence properties of a Ni(II) Schiff base complex towards nitroaromatic compounds, such as dinitrobenzene (DNB), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2-nitrophenol (2-NP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and 1,3,5-trinitrophenol (TNP),. Remarkably, the compound exhibited exceptional sensitivity in detecting TNP, with a notable Ksv value of 40.5 × 103 M-1 . LOD value of the targeted compound was found to be 0.134 μM, encompassing a linear working range of 2.50–50.00 μM.. Furthermore, the synthesized Ni(II) complex proved effective in the fluorescence quenching-based detection of TNP in water solutions, demonstrating both high selectivity and sensitivity.
Through fluorescence titrations (Job's plot), the stoichiometry between the compound and TNP was found to be 2/1 (complex/TNP). This finding underlines the potential utility of the complex as a promising tool in environmental monitoring or related fields where the detection of TNP is crucial.
The Nomadic Military Burial with a Bronze Cauldron from the Necropolis of Perevolochan 1 in the Southern Urals
Authors: Demidenko Sergey , Sirotin Sergey
Published: December 2024

The presented article publishes materials from the military burial 2 of kurgan 10 from the necropolis of Perevolochan 1. The materials of this necropolis are of significant importance for clarifying the chronological scale of antiquities of the South Ural nomads. In addition, the role of the materials in understanding cultural and historical processes in the steppe zone of the Southern Urals in the middle of the 1st millennium BC is of particular relevance. The burials from the kurgans of the necropolis of Perevolochan 1 were already published in the early 80s and mid-90s of the 20th century by the author of the excavations A.Kh. Pshenichnyuk, however, a detailed analysis of the accompanying inventory was not carried out. At the same time, the material complexes include items that are important both for the chronology and for the external relations study of the early nomads from the Southern Urals. By its design, the kurgan 10 is a complex burial structure: there was a central dromos burial with a wooden grave structure at its foundation. The central burial was surrounded by a ring-shape mound outside of which peripheral burials were located. The published burial belongs to chamber undercut graves. Separate items of horse equipment found in the burial allow us to draw analogies with the Scythian complexes of the Dnieper, Don, Kuban and Ciscaucasia regions, as well as to specify the date of the burial within the last decades of the 4th – early 3rd centuries BC. The finds from the burial, their analogies and dating confirm the concept that the South Urals received the majority of military imports (weapons and horse equipment) from Scythian territories around the middle of the 4th – early 3rd centuries BC. These imported items are mostly recorded in the Filippovka monuments. Particular attention should be paid to a bronze cauldron found in the burial, which has analogies in the territory of Southern Siberia, especially in the Minusinsk Basin. Therefore, this find marks the eastern vector of contacts of the Southern Ural nomads. The burial rite the accompanying inventory of burial 2 from kurgan 10 of the Perevolochan 1 necropolis allows us to classify this complex as a military burial of the Southern Urals nomadic nobility.
Warrior Burial from “Vysokaya Mogila – Studenikin Mar” Necropolis: New Finds of Defensive Armor of the Southern Urals Early Nomads
Authors: Sirotin Sergey , Okorokov Konstantin , Bogachuk Daria
Published: December 2024

The article publishes a warrior burial from the Southern Urals. In the kurgan with specific features of the South Ural nomads’ elite burial rite, a central dromos with an individual burial of a nomadic military nobility representative was studied. In the burial, rich accompanying inventory was found which included elements of weapons, a bronze cauldron and a bronze ladle (bailer). The elements of the defenstive armor are of a particular research interest. These are fragments of iron laminar armor and a bronze scaly helmet with an iron laminar backplate. A scaly bronze helmet was found for the first time in the burial complexes of the South Ural nomads. Some of the items from the accompanying inventory in the burial have analogies not only in the complexes of the Filippovka circle in the South Urals, but also in the Scythian burials of the Dnieper region, the Middle and Lower Don, and the North Caucasus. A sacrificial complex in the area around the kurgan with elements of horse equipment is an interesting find. Some of the items from it have no analogues in the Southern Urals and are associated by their origin with the Scythian and Meotian complexes of the Dnieper, Don and Northern Caucasus. Based on the nature of the burial rite and the inventory, the studied complex dates back to the last third of the 4th – early 3rd centuries BC.

Upward elevational shift of the Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris) in alpine breeding sites at Dovrefjell, central Norway
Authors: Østvold Oscar , Dale Svein , Brevig-Edfeldt Axel
Published: December 2024

Climate change is expected to force species to move upwards and polewards. Mountain species are at particular risk because upward elevational shifts may be limited by the maximum height of mountain ranges. The Horned Lark Eremophila alpestris breeds in the high mountains of southern Norway. Two previous studies recorded the elevation of breeding territories of Horned Larks in two regions of Dovrefjell, central Norway. In mountains around Grimsdalen (Dovre municipality) territories had a mean elevation of 1329 m (range = 1200–1450 m, n = 15) in 1969, and in mountains around Einunndalen (Folldal and Oppdal municipalities) the mean was 1339 m (range = 1240–1430 m, n = 15) in 1992. The same mountain areas were resurveyed 30–53 years later in 2022. In Grimsdalen, mean elevation of lark territories was now 1426 m (range = 1260–1570 m, n = 23) and in Einunndalen 1415 m (range = 1196–1523 m, n = 42). Overall, the data suggested a mean upward elevational shift of 2.2 m/year. The shift in elevation suggests that climate change has influenced the elevational range of the Horned Lark in the mountains of central Norway, with potential population consequences if the upward shift continues.
Quantization Aware Factorization for Deep Neural Network Compression
Authors: Cherniuk Daria , Abukhovich Stanislav , Phan Anh-Huy , Oseledets Ivan , Cichocki Andrzej , Gusak Julia
Published: December 2024

Tensor decomposition of convolutional and fully-connected layers is an effective way to reduce parameters and FLOP in neural networks. Due to memory and power consumption limitations of mobile or embedded devices, the quantization step is usually necessary when pre-trained models are deployed. A conventional post-training quantization approach applied to networks with decomposed weights yields a drop in accuracy. This motivated us to develop an algorithm that finds tensor approximation directly with quantized factors and thus benefit from both compression techniques while keeping the prediction quality of the model. Namely, we propose to use Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for Canonical Polyadic (CP) decomposition with factors whose elements lie on a specified quantization grid. We compress neural network weights with a devised algorithm and evaluate it’s prediction quality and performance. We compare our approach to state-of-the-art post-training quantization methods and demonstrate competitive results and high flexibility in achiving a desirable quality-performance tradeoff.

Antecedentes: A pesar de su gran diversidad y la grave amenaza a la que están expuestos, los pastizales templados han recibido escasa atención.
Pregunta: Este estudio examina la biodiversidad de paisajes y taxonómía en los pastizales templados de Oaxaca.
Especies estudiadas: Flora vascular.
Sitio de estudio y fechas: Los pastizales volcánicos (PV), calcícolas (PC) y sabanas de encino (SE) del norte de Oaxaca entre 2021 y 2022.
Métodos: Tras delimitar los tres sistemas realizamos colectas, describimos la vegetación y discutimos su estado de conservación.
Resultados: Los PV y PC son los más diversos. En los PV, la diversidad se ve favorecida por el pastoreo, cuya ausencia promueve la invasión por plantas exóticas y pérdida de especies. Los PC han sufrido graves impactos debido a la agricultura, el sobrepastoreo y la plantación de pinos. Las SE son las menos diversas, aunque las menos muestreadas, y albergan especies importantes para su conservación.  En total se documentaron 857 especies de plantas vasculares (aunque los datos indican que esto es una subestimación considerable), siendo el segundo pastizal más diverso de Norteamérica y comprendiendo 25 % de las especies del Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán en 0.7 % de su superficie. Las familias más diversas fueron Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae y Euphorbiaceae. El 37 % de las especies son endémicas de México, algunas especies microendémicas (3) y 26 amenazadas. Además, se descubrieron tres nuevos taxones.
Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados subrayan la importancia de conocer y conservar las praderas intertropicales templadas de México ante la rápida destrucción que enfrentan.
Preservice Science Teachers’ Metaphorical Perceptions Related to “Technology” Concept
Authors: Özergun Köse Ilgım , Timur Betül
Published: December 2024

How preservice science teachers perceive technology is significant because we cannot think science and technology separately. Using metaphors is one of the method helps to examine how a concept, technology in this contect, is perceive. A metaphor can be defined as the process of defining a less known concept by using a more known concept and explaining why it is defined that way. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to examine preservice science teachers’ metaphorical perceptions related to the technology concept. This study was conducted with 110 volunteer undergraduate preservice science teachers from a state university in Western Türkiye. As a methodology, phenomenology was selected from qualitative research. For data collection process, participants fill in the blanks: “technology looks like ………….. because ………..”. Data was analyzed by using content analysis. All collected data was categorized as positive (N=83), negative(N=15), and neutral(N=12) in the first phase. Positive codes were found as useful, developing, changing, need, unlimited, helpful, valuable, source of information, facilitating, enlightening, widespreading and guiding. Negative codes were found as addictive, harmful, and endless. Lastly, neutral codes were found as balance and variability. According to the general findings of this study, preservice science teachers’ perceptions related to the technology was mostly positive. However, negative perceptions relied on addictiveness of technology can be harmful. Preservice science teachers’ neutral perceptions both expressed negative and positive sides of the technology. By considering the technology integration in education, it is thought that examining preservice science teachers’ metaphorical perceptions are important and more studies need for the future.
Pentágono da Qualidade em Pesquisas:
Authors: Frezatti Fábio , Beck Franciele` , Capuano da Cruz Ana Paula , Junqueira Emanuel , Magalhães Mucci Daniel
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo trazer luz aos atributos de qualidade da pesquisa científica (lacuna, relevância, inovação, contribuição e impacto) propostos por Frezatti (2020) em um editorial da REPeC e explorá-los a partir de um projeto desenvolvido por participantes de um grupo de pesquisa. Fundamentamos este objetivo no problema da rejeição de artigos e de projetos, tendo em vista que essa fragilidade começa na concepção, compromete a execução e, muitas vezes, inviabiliza os ajustes necessários para sua publicação.
Método: A pesquisa segue a abordagem teórico-metodológica e discute cinco elementos essenciais para a elaboração de um projeto de pesquisa, denominados pentágono da qualidade. Esses elementos são tratados como interdependentes, aplicando-se ao longo de todo o ciclo de investigação, desde a concepção até sua execução e publicação.
Resultados: Esperamos que essa abordagem proporcione a concepção e execução de pesquisas com maior qualidade intrínseca, especialmente na área de negócios, o que facilita o processo de avaliação e aceitação em periódicos acadêmicos.
Contribuições: A inovação da pesquisa está em discutir a interação entre os elementos do pentágono da qualidade, uma lacuna pouco explorada na literatura. Ao abordar essa inter-relação, oferecemos uma ferramenta que facilita o planejamento e o desenvolvimento das investigações, e aperfeiçoa a argumentação dos autores, com benefícios para revisores, editores e orientadores.
«Hay muertos que no hacen ruido y son más grandes sus penas»: coplas sentenciosas en el Cancionero folklórico de México
Authors: Gómez Estrada Grissel
Published: December 2024

In this article I will analyze the so-called «sententious couplets» collected in the Cancionero folklórico de México, which constitute a kind of pseudo-philosophical knowledge, enunciated through lyrical resources such as metaphors and sentences. Likewise, based on the elements with which they are constructed, these couplets can be divided into: 1. Coplas that show stereotypes (the brave and aggressive coastal man, the treacherous woman, the loving mother and the crafty Indian), which, in general, are formed through comparisons. 2. Couplets that touch on universal themes (suffering, the past, love, etc.). The latter are divided according to the literary devices they use: a) couplets with a proverb and b) couplets with metaphor. 3. Couplets that contain advice.
Oralidad: tradicionalidad, popularidad y transterritorialidad
Authors: González Aurelio
Published: December 2024

This paper reviews the concept of orality, intersecting with traditionality, popularity, and transterritoriality. It examines how Spanish romances are repurposed in the American context, highlighting geographical relocations that diverge from original thematic units. This transterritoriality complements folklore geography’s unifying principles. The study illustrates cultural transmission’s dynamic nature, showing how literary forms like Bernal Francés and broadsheets adapt to new environments and traditional oral life. These transformations involve new forms and channels of cultural expression. By exploring these changes, the paper highlights the interplay between geographical relocation and cultural recontextualization, emphasizing the continuity and innovation in evolving oral traditions.

Authors: Gómez Mutio Ana Rosa
Published: December 2024

This study examines the motifs and structure of certain songs known as «mañanas» or «mañanitas», which extend beyond the festive context of birthday celebrations. The research explores the theme of dawn, its motifs, its connection to these songs, and how this theme is linked to religious variants of «Las mañanitas». It investigates motifs such as the arrival of the sun, greetings, the window, singing, and natural elements like the moon and birds. The corpus consists of 29 textual units titled «Las mañanitas», encompassing various communicative intentions. These songs, deeply rooted in ancient tradition, feature characteristic motifs and symbols found in other traditional and popular Mexican compositions. The aim is to examine the variations, traditional uses, and persistence of these motifs and themes.

АКСИОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ И КОММУНИКАТИВНАЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ТЕКСТА В ПАРАДИГМЕ ЦИФРОВОЙ РЕАЛЬНОСТИ
Authors:   Алтайский государственный университет, С. В. Остапенко
Published: December 2024

В статье исследуется аксиологическая и коммуникативная трансформация статуса текста в современной цифровой реальности. В русской культуре и литературе XIX в. текст воспринимался как культурно-аксиологическая доминанта, а творчество и рефлексия посредством текстопорождения выступали знаком духовной деятельности личности и ее взаимодействия с миром. С развитием компьютерно опосредованной коммуникации ценностный статус и стратегии порождения текста изменились с фокусом на оптимизацию семантики и структуры. Автоматическая генерация текста, являясь следующим этапом в трансформации коммуникативных стратегий, максимально отчуждает текст от субъекта речевой деятельности. Искусственный текст сочетает естественный язык и машиночитаемый код, демонстрируя автогенерацию, масштабируемость, интерактивность и мультимодальность. Его можно рассматривать как лингвосемиотический объект, обладающий семантической полнотой, логичностью и референциальностью, однако он лишен индивидуальной творческой природы и информационной ценности и, являясь результатом усреднения больших текстовых данных, теряет культурную значимость. Несмотря на эти ограничения коммуникативный потенциал искусственного текста в цифровом дискурсе растет, отражая сдвиг в сторону взаимодействия человека и машины в постгуманистической культуре.

Pan y toros… y romerías: La estética de lo grotesco en La romería de Manuel Ciges Aparicio
Authors: Barraza María Ignacia
Published: December 2024

Este ensayo explora la estética de lo grotesco en la novela La romería (1910) de Manuel Ciges Aparicio como mecanismo de denuncia del sistema de la Restauración (1874-1931). Como tal, anticipa muchas de las temáticas presentes en las mejores obras esperpénticas de Ramón del Valle-Inclán. De hecho, La romería, por un lado, y el esperpento valleinclaniano, por el otro, reflejan el mismo clima de hipocresía, farsa y mediocridad prevalente durante el régimen ideado por Antonio Cánovas del Castillo.
El poder de Rosaura en La vida es sueño de Calderón de la Barca
Authors: Feal Carlos
Published: December 2024

Se exploran en este artículo las relaciones de Rosaura con otros personajes: su padre, su madre, su amante (Astolfo) y su rival (Estrella), además de Segismundo en la obra La vida es sueño de Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Al ser reconocida por su padre, Rosaura recobra su honor y puede desposar a Astolfo. Pero el reconocimiento paterno es sustancialmente obra de la propia Rosaura, quien debe por tanto ser vista como agente de su destino y figura crucial en el desenlace de la obra. Finalmente, Rosaura (Astrea) deshace la estrella fatal que aprisionaba a Segismundo y lo impulsa a casarse con Estrella, a la vez doble y rival romántica de Rosaura.
Negro sobre blanco: Esclavitud y blancura en Cervantes y Zayas
Authors: Castellví Laukamp Luis
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza los personajes negros de una novela breve de Cervantes (El celoso extremeño) y dos de Zayas (El prevenido engañado y Tarde llega el desengaño). Por un lado, examinaré los rasgos estereotípicos de estos personajes. Por otro lado, mi tesis central es que estas novelas también admiten lecturas antirracistas. Los esclavos literarios de Cervantes y Zayas no son víctimas desvalidas, sino seres con dignidad, agudeza y determinación para alcanzar sus fines. Dado que este enfoque es aplicable a otros textos, propongo una revisión de la literatura sobre la esclavitud en el mundo hispánico global del siglo XVII.

The Influence of Traditional Religious Authority on Digital Preachers: Case Studies of Ustadz Hanan Attaki and Ustadz Adi Hidayat
Authors: Rozy Yahya Fathur
Published: December 2024

This research aims to investigate whether traditional religious authorities in the case of two largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia (Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah) still have greater authority than the new media friendly religious figures. This research employs the bai’at (edification) of Ustadz Hanan Attaki (UHA) to Nahdlatul Ulama and the admission of Ustadz Adi Hidayat (UAH) to the Muhammadiyah General Board as a case study. This research attemps to answer two questions: How do new religious authorities still need to rely on traditional religious authorities? Why are the traditional religious authorities in NU Muhammadiyah still able to survive during the development of new media and the emergence of new religious authorities? Using the theoretical framework of Max Weber, this study explains the process of forming authority. This research finds that first, new religious authorities lack key elements of "authority." The long-established structures within traditional groups provide a level of legitimacy that is difficult for new religious authorities to replicate without integrating into these networks. Second, traditional authorities have spent decades, even centuries, building a loyal following and strong organizational infrastructure. These networks are supported by political capital, granting traditional authorities protection, and influence that new figures cannot easily access.

Published: December 2024

This article explores the discourse on Islamic feminism through the perspective of H. Agus Salim. Using a descriptive-analytical method and an Islamic feminist approach rooted in harmony and justice—distinct from Western notions of equality—the study examines Salim’s works as primary sources, supported by secondary materials such as books, journal articles, and online resources discussing his thought. The findings reveal: (1) Salim advocates for equality in rights and responsibilities between men and women, particularly in education; (2) he approaches the hijab with a contextual and historical understanding, considering asbab al-nuzul; (3) he views the veil not merely as a piece of cloth but as a potential symbol of oppression; (4) he favors monogamy over polygamy, emphasizing the challenges of achieving justice and the historical specificity of certain rulings; and (5) he acknowledges the inevitability of women assuming leadership roles. This study highlights Salim’s nuanced stance on gender issues within an Islamic framework.

Published: December 2024

Background: This study has been conducted to assess the association between asymptomatic hyponatremia with cognitive dysfunction, bone health, quality of life and various inflammatory markers in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients.
Methods: A single centre hospital based observational case-control study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in eastern India. Non dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with (case) or without (control) asymptomatic hyponatremia were included in the study after proper assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. C reactive protein and interleukin 6 were measured and T score was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at lumbar vertebra (L1 to L4). For cognitive function assessment, Bangla adapted mental state examination (BAMSE) score was calculated and activities of daily living (ADL) score was also recorded.
Results: 38 patients in the control group and 37 patients in the case group came for follow-up visit. Significant positive correlation was found between serum sodium levels with the DEXA scan (T-scores). On the other hand, significant negative correlation was found between serum sodium with C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. Though BAMSE scores and ADL scores showed a positive correlation with serum sodium levels, the result was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: We conclude that asymptomatic hyponatremia in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients has significant association between DEXA scan T score and various inflammatory parameters like C reactive protein and interleukin 6. This may indicate possible role of prevention and treatment of this common electrolyte abnormalities to avoid effect of poor bone health and chronic inflammation in such a vulnerable population.
Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia using GORE SYNECOR biomesh
Authors: Tan Sophia B. T. , Beardsley Christian J.
Published: December 2024

Inguinal hernia repair, historically performed through open surgery, has evolved to favour laparoscopic techniques due to reduced recovery time, minimized pain, and lower recurrence rates. The type of mesh used in repair plays a crucial role in surgical outcomes. Synthetic meshes are known for their durability and tensile strength, while biological meshes offer better biocompatibility and reduced risk of chronic inflammation. Recently, hybrid meshes such as GORE SYNECOR have emerged, integrating the strengths of both types. These composite meshes provide structural support while promoting tissue integration, yielding promising results in terms of low recurrence rates and improved patient-reported outcomes post-surgery. This report discusses an 81-year-old male with a left-sided indirect inguinal hernia managed through laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAP) repair, utilizing GORE SYNECOR biomesh. His clinical presentation, surgical course, and recovery highlight the effectiveness of hybrid meshes for elderly patients, offering both durability and reduced complication risks. The use of a hybrid composite intraperitoneal device like the GORE SYNECOR mesh for inguinal and abdominal hernia repair demonstrates encouraging early outcomes. These include low recurrence rates, a strong safety profile, and notable enhancements in patients' health-related quality of life extending beyond one year.

Encephalopathy comprises a range of neurological syndromes caused by several etiologies, including metabolic, toxic, structural, and infectious factors. These conditions share common clinical features such as altered mental status, seizures, and cognitive deficits, making diagnosis challenging. Subtypes include reversible forms, like hepatic encephalopathy and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and progressive forms, like chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Accurate diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation, integrating clinical assessments and advanced imaging techniques. Management strategies vary widely, emphasizing underlying cause resolution and symptom control. Advances in diagnostic tools and tailored therapeutic strategies have improved outcomes for certain subtypes but underscore the need for early recognition and precise differentiation. Ongoing research and multidisciplinary efforts are essential to address knowledge gaps, refine management, and enhance quality of life for affected individuals. This review highlights diagnostic challenges, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes, underscoring the importance of individualized care for optimizing prognoses in these multifaceted conditions.

Pediatric oral infectious diseases, caused by a range of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens, represent a significant challenge in clinical practice. These infections, often influenced by age, immune status, and hygiene practices, can lead to pain, functional impairments, and systemic complications. Common viral infections such as herpetic gingivostomatitis, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) manifestations, and hand-foot-and-mouth disease present with characteristic oral lesions, often accompanied by systemic symptoms. Bacterial infections, including dental caries, gingivitis, and odontogenic infections, are primarily linked to microbial colonization, dietary habits, and poor oral hygiene. Advanced cases, such as necrotizing periodontal diseases, can have severe implications if not managed promptly. Fungal infections, predominantly caused by Candida species, occur frequently in neonates and immunocompromised children, manifesting as oral thrush or angular cheilitis, and require targeted antifungal therapy. Prevention strategies, including the use of fluoride, dietary counseling, and regular dental check-ups, play a pivotal role in reducing the incidence of these infections. Management approaches vary based on the pathogen and clinical severity, ranging from supportive care and antifungal agents to antibiotic therapy and surgical interventions in severe cases. Collaborative care between dental practitioners and other healthcare providers is essential for effective outcomes. Infection control measures within dental settings and public health initiatives, such as vaccination and oral health education, are crucial in minimizing transmission and recurrence. Addressing pediatric oral infectious diseases requires a multifaceted approach, incorporating individualized patient care, preventive measures, and public health strategies to promote optimal oral and systemic health outcomes. Continued research and innovation are vital to improving diagnostic tools and therapeutic options for managing these infections in pediatric populations.

Published: December 2024

In India, T2DM is a major health problem due to its rising prevalence and associated complications. The role and mechanism of leptin and insulin in the etiopathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus have been studied and reviewed in varying ethnic populations. However in the Kumaun region of Uttarakhand studies regarding the association of leptin and insulin in type 2 diabetes are lacking, for this the present study was conducted.

 A total of 100 subjects, including fifty known T2DM patients and fifty healthy Age, Gender [Manish1] and BMI matched controls were[Manish2] enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters including leptin, insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipid profile were estimated in all the subjects by standard protocols.

Higher leptin levels (p< 0.001) were observed in diabetic cases as compared to healthy controls. A significant and positive correlation of leptin was observed with HOMA IR (r=0.346, p<0.001), waist circumference (r=0,482, p<0.01), and dyslipidemias in diabetic subjects. However, a better and strong correlation was observed in diabetic cases as compared to healthy controls.

High leptin levels are associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in diabetic cases in this region.

Bone marrow study is of fundamental importance in most haematological disorders including haematological malignancies, carried out to permit cytological assessment and for other specialized investigations. Trephine biopsy gives histological details of marrow including cellularity, fibrosis and reveals the causes of dry tap. Finer cytomorphological details of marrow elements can be ascertained by the imprint smears from the biopsy material.

A total of 50 cases of haematological malignancies of both sexes within the age group of 4-82 years, were studied by cross sectional, descriptive study. Smears and biopsy sections were stained with routine and special stains. Bone marrow reticulin status was noted. The bone marrow aspiration results were correlated with the trephine biopsy reports and analyzed with standard statistical methods.

Out of 50 cases, diagnostic bone marrow aspiration (BMA) and bone marrow trephine biopsy (BMTB) were done in 44 cases and trephine biopsy alone in rest of the 6 cases. Bone marrow aspiration was non-diagnostic in 1 case (due to focal involvement) and dry tap occurred in 5 cases. Total 21 cases of acute leukaemia, bone marrow aspiration alone could reach to the diagnosis in 17 (81%) cases.  Single case of acute myelofibrosis was diagnosed only by bone marrow biopsy. Mild to moderate degree increase in reticulin fibrosis were noted in 18 (36%) cases.

Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow trephine biopsy act as a complementary to each other so far the diagnosis and management of hematologic malignancies are concerned.
