Socio‐economic status and access to fluoridated water in Queensland: an ecological data linkage study
Authors: Sexton Christopher T , Ha Diep H , Le Thu , Lalloo Ratilal , Ford Pauline , Do Loc G , Stormon Nicole
Published: December 2023

Objectives

To investigate the relationship between access to fluoridated drinking water and area‐level socio‐economic status in Queensland.

Study design

Ecological, geospatial data linkage study.

Setting

Queensland, by statistical area level 2 (SA2), 2021.

Main outcome measures

Proportion of SA2s and of residents with access to fluoridated drinking water (natural or supplemented); relationship at SA2 level between access to fluoridated water and socio‐economic status (Index of Relative Socio‐economic Advantage and Disadvantage, IRSAD; Index of Economic Resources, IER).

Results

In 2021, an estimated 4 050 168 people (79.4% of the population) and 397 SA2 regions (72.7%) in Queensland had access to fluoridated water. Access was concentrated in the southeastern corner of the state. After adjusting for SA2 population, log area, and population density, the likelihood of access to fluoridated drinking water almost doubled for each 100‐rank increase in IRSAD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59–2.36) or IER (aOR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.50–2.11).

Conclusions

The 2012 decision to devolve responsibility for water fluoridation decisions and funding from the Queensland government to local councils means that residents in lower socio‐economic areas are less likely to have access to fluoridated water than those in more advantaged areas, exacerbating their already greater risk of dental disease. Queensland water fluoridation policy should be revised so that all residents can benefit from this evidence‐based public health intervention for reducing the prevalence of dental caries.

National security includes needs that are often used in daily life, especially in household matters which cannot be separated from kitchen needs such as 3 kg LPG gas which is widely used by people whose economic levels are at the lower middle level. However, transportation needs cannot be separated from the availability of fuel supplies used as fuel, but what is currently happening is that there is a scarcity of gas and subsidized fuel in the Bengkalis Regency area. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out the causes of this shortage, so that people's needs can be met properly. This research uses a research method with the type of library research, by examining various data and information which will then be analyzed, so that results are obtained which show that the cause of this shortage is not due to supply, but rather access to crossings for vehicles transporting fuel and kg LPG gas. , this is characterized by an increase in queues which continues to increase significantly. This results in all access being delayed for transport vehicles, as well as public transportation users, because vehicles entering and exiting Bengkalis Island to outside the area can only be accessed from the White Water Roro and Selari River crossing ports.

Objective: This study was aimed to (i) sleep characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP), and sleep and emotional intelligence results of their mothers, and (ii) explore the relationship these parameters both with each other and with demographic characteristics of children and their mothers.
Methods: Thirty-three children with CP and their mothers were included this study. Functional level of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS) while sleep parameters with Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire-Abbreviated Form (CSHQ-AF). Sleep quality and emotional intelligence of mothers was evaluated by The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (RSEI), successively.
Results: The highest percentage of children with CP participating in the study was at level 3 (GMFCS) with 24.24%. Mean sleep score of children with CP according to CSHQ-AF was 50.33 (SD: 9.38) points. Twenty-nine (87.9%) of children with CP had pediatric sleep problem while 51.5% of mothers had poor sleep quality. RSEI total score of mothers was 149.54 (SD: 16.94). No relationship was found between sleep and emotional intelligence of mothers with sleep of children with CP (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The rate of sleep problems was found to be higher in children with CP compared to their mothers as expected. The lack of relationship between sleep and emotional intelligence can be explained by the reality that both parameters can be affected by many factors.

Published: December 2023

Azak Denizi; Rusya ve ABD’nin etki sahası sorunudur. Rusya’nın Azak Denizi ve çevresindeki varlık nedenleri: 1. Rusya’nın iklim ve topoğrafik açıdan tatminkâr bir coğrafyada bulunmamasının onu sığınaklı coğrafyalara itmesi. 2. Tarihi açıdan Azak Denizi ve çevresinin Rusya’nın Avrupa’daki kökleri ve yayılmacılığının mekanizmasını oluşturması. 3. Azak Denizi’nin iki yakasında Ruslar tarafından yerleştirilen taraftar nüfusun Rusya’nın bölgede bulunma zaruretini doğurması. 4. Rusya’nın siyasi ve askeri kontrol açısından Azak Denizi’ni iç deniz haline getirerek Karadeniz’de güç kazanması. 5. Ticari açıdan transit pazar bölgesini kaybetmemek istemesi. 6. Avrupa ve NATO’ya karşı Rusya’nın Dublin’den Vladivostok’a güvenlik hattı oluşturmak istemesidir. Rusya’nın Azak Denizi çevresinde etki sahasının daralması; ABD’nin Ukrayna üzerinden Rus etkisini kırması, bölge kontrolünün Avrupa ülkeleri ve NATO’ya geçmesi, Ukrayna tamponunun kalkması, Rusya’nın Asya’da sıkışması gibi yeni jeopolitik dinamikleri ortaya çıkaracaktır. Ayrıca Rusya’nın NATO tarafından kuşatılması, Rusya’nın siyasi genişlemesinin daralması anlamına gelmektedir. Enerji güvenliği, Karadeniz ve Hazar Havzalarının güvenliği tehlike arz edecektir. Rusya’nın bu bölgeden çekilmesi, tarihi-etnik bağlarının kopmasına ve güvenlik çemberinin kırılmasına neden olacaktır. Çalışma Karadeniz, Kırım, Taman Yarımadası, Ukrayna üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Eldeki Çalışma; Reflektivist teori kullanılarak, Azak Denizi çevresinde Rusya’nın varlığının sonuçları ile etki sahasının daralmasının oluşturacağı sonuçlar, yakın bölgeler üzerinden karşılaştırmalı tarihsel analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda Rusya’nın Azak Denizi’ni sessizce işgal ettiği ve NATO ile Avrupa’nın Rusya’yı Azak Denizi’nden tamamen çıkarmak istediği anlaşılmıştır.

Gene Expression Analysis in Freshwater Mussels (Unio stevenianus) Collected from Pollutant-Associated Environment
Authors: KANKAYA Ertuğrul , ATICI Ataman Altuğ
Published: December 2023

Common pollutants found in rivers include sewage, pesticides, heavy metals, nutrients from agricultural runoff, and pathogens. The resulting pollution can alter the physiological processes of living systems and cause environmental stress in aquatic environments. The need to monitor the effects of pollution in aquatic ecosystems has been driven by environmental and human health concerns. Freshwater mussels, which play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, are constantly exposed to a wide variety of contaminants as filter feeders. The sessile nature of mussels and their relatively long life span make them useful indicator species for monitoring and assessment of water quality. The aim of this study is to determine physiological stress in Unio stevenianus living in Karasu river, whose pollution level is increasing daily, by Cox gene expression. Real-time PCR analysis using β-actin as a reference gene was used for gene expression. The expression level of the Cox gene was higher in the Zeve region than in the Arısu region. The lower level in Arısu region indicates that water quality criteria are better in this region than in Zeve region. Expression studies should be carried out in U. stevenianus by selecting different genes specific to certain pollutants.

This study examine the short-run and long-run relationship between inflation and urbanization and ruralization rates in Turkey by using a data set for the years between 1960 and 2022 and estimation method of ARDL. Stationarity test findings disclose that urbanization rate is integrated order one while economic growth, inflation, and ruralization rate are integrated order zero. Co-integration test findings gathered from ARDL bound test hint that there is co-integrating relationship among variables of economic growth, inflation, ruralization rate, and urbanization rate. Considering to long-run coefficient estimations, ruralization rate and economic growth have negative and statistically significant coefficients for the first model. In other words one percent increase in ruralization rate induces to a decrease in consumer price index by 17.168 percent. Also one percent rise in economic growth causes to a drop in consumer price index by 0.995 percent. For the second model, we obtained statistically significant positive coefficient estimation for urbanization rate and negative one for economic growth. More spesifically, if urbanization rate goes up by %1 then consumer price index increases by %19.427 whereas %1 increase in economic growth lessens consumer price index by %0.947.

Published: December 2023

Nitrifying bacteria are specialized microorganisms that actively participate in the nitrification process, which involves the conversion of ammonia (NH3) into nitrite (NO2-) and subsequently into nitrate (NO3-). Extensive human activities such as agriculture, thermal power generation, and automobile exhaust have led to an increase in the amounts of greenhouse gases and nitrogen pollution in soil and water. This comprehensive review highlights the importance of nitrogen-related processes for environmental sustainability and the role of nitrifying bacteria in combating nitrogen pollution. The focus of the current work is a detailed exploration of the diverse classes of nitrifying bacteria and their respective roles in environmental processes. Furthermore, the study explores practical applications of different classes of nitrifying bacteria, extending beyond the nitrification process. This review explored the potential of nitrifying bacteria in wastewater treatment, biodegradation of micropollutants, and the treatment of municipal solid waste leachate, showcasing the versatility of these bacteria in addressing broader environmental challenges.
Gut microbiome as a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor
Authors: Yadav Twinkle , Syal Raghav , Tripathi Charu
Published: December 2023

The human microbiome is the aggregate of all the microbiota that reside on and within the human body. They have the ability to affect the homeostasis of the host body and change its pathology by the production of various metabolites. There is complex crosstalk occurring between the gut microbiome and the host through the gut-brain axis. Gut microbiome plays a dual role in cancer by promoting as well as by inhibiting tumor formation. Tumor formation may be initiated by the release of certain metabolites which cause degradation and DNA breaks. However, a number of probiotic microbiota, residing in the gut can help prevent cancer initiation by provoking apoptosis in cancer cells, as well as increasing the efficiency of anticancer therapy and reducing its toxicity outcomes. Any imbalance in the microbiome composition leads to the alteration of the non-pathogenic potential of the microbiome and an increased risk of diseases in the host. Establishing a robust understanding of this interplay can be instrumental for understanding the factors leading to tumor formation. This review highlights the interplay between the host and gut microbiome, as well as the role of the gut microbiome in cancer prevention, tumor formation, and anticancer therapy.

Published: December 2023

This method involves development of a highly sensitive spectrophotometric procedure to estimate mesalazine as pure substance and in the tablets. This particular procedure was focused on the diazotization of mesalazine with an excess quantity of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in an acid medium using HCl solution to produce a corresponding diazonium compound which reacts with 8-hydroxyquinoline reagent in an alkaline solution of NaOH to yield read-orange azo dye which is soluble in water and showed maximum absorption peak at the wavelength of 500 nm against the blank solution. The calibration graph was linear and compatible to Beer's law over the concentration range from 0.25 to 12.5 μg/ml with an exceptional determination coefficient (R2= 0.9994) and apparent molar absorptivity 2.88 × 104 L.mol-1cm-1. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were premeditated and found to be 0.2023 and 0.6524 μg/ml, correspondingly. A relative error percent (accuracy) and the relative standard deviation (RSD%) was also calculated and found to be in the range -3.84% - 2.70%, and 0.17% - 1.94%, correspondingly. No interferences were observed from other ingredients that may be exist in the tablets. The stoichiometry of the resulting azo dye has been examined and the experimental results revealed that the mole ratio of mesalazine to 8-hydroxyquinoline is 1:1. The advised procedure was successfully applied for the determination of mesalazine in its pharmaceutical form (tablets).

Implications Of Marriage Dispensation In Increasing Divorce Filings
Authors: Nisa Vica Zumrotun , Anggraeny Isdian
Published: December 2023

In principle, the limit on the age of marriage for citizens is to ensure that couples about to marry must have sufficient mental and physical maturity. The minimum age limit for marriage has been regulated by legal provisions and compilations of Islamic law, but there are still differences in determining the age limit. The Amended Marriage Law Number 16 of 2019 has stipulated that the minimum age for marriage for women is the same as for men, namely 19 (nineteen). The ratification of this provision must be a response to public unrest. This can happen because perpetrators of child marriage often lack mental and even economic preparation for a household, causing protracted conflicts.

Published: December 2023

The development of manpower aimed at addressing the prevailing and future needs of a given society is a good reason for designing and structuring collaboration between universities and industries. Using a qualitative research design, this article explored the university-industry collaboration for manpower planning and the challenges of economic development in Nigeria. It looked at the concept of university education as a private and social investment that has a limitless rate of returns to both the individual recipient and the society.  It also discussed the relationship between economic development and manpower development planning and highlighted that economic development which is a deliberate process of sustained quality improvement of the people requires proper planning, at the center of which is manpower development planning. Furthermore, the critical roles universities and industries in Nigeria have to play in producing the skills needed for industries and national development were also examined. These roles include producing high-level and middle level manpower in order to address socio-economic challenges, boosting the acquisition of skills to tackle the mismatch between skills of the available workforce and job vacancies, and championing ideas and innovations to facilitate access to new markets. The article suggested a number of strategic approaches to foster a stronger collaboration of universities with industry. These strategies include among others an establishment of a consultative process where the voice of relevant business managers is given adequate consideration in curriculum development in order to ensure that the academic programs of universities are tailored to the needs of the industries.
Mary Baker Eddy und die Christliche Wissenschaft in der Darstellung Stefan Zweigs. Hysterie, Plagiarismus und Geltungssucht
Authors: Grenz Sabine
Published: December 2023

1931 veröffentlichte Stefan Zweig seine Trilogie Geistige Heiler, in der er drei historische Personen figurativ vorstellte: Franz Anton Mesmer, den Begründer des Animalen Magnetismus, Mary Baker Eddy, die Begründerin der Christlichen Wissenschaft, und Sigmund Freud, den Begründer der Psychoanalyse. Während Mesmer und Freud in einem positiven, begünstigenden Licht dargestellt werden, wird von Mary Baker Eddy ein sehr negatives Bild als Hysterikerin gezeichnet. Sein Portrait, das das erste in deutshcer Sprache war, wirft seitdem ein negatives Licht auf sie und die Christliche Wissenschaft. In diesem Beitrag wird Zweigs Darstellung historisch kontextualisiert und seine verzerrende Darstellung aus einer geschlechterkritischen Perspektive analysiert.

Authors: Daramola Mercy Adesola , Aribasoye Racheal Moyosore
Published: December 2023

This study investigated the relationship between physical activity, exercise, sedentary behaviour, and academic performance in higher education students. Staying physically active is crucial for preserving general health and well-being. The study aims to investigate the effect of physical activity, exercise and sedentary behaviour on students' academic performance in tertiary institutions. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The population comprised 200 students from the Federal, State and Privately owned tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Physical activity and exercise levels were assessed using a self-developed questionnaire titled: “Effect of Physical Activity, Exercise and Sedentary Behaviour on Students’ Academic Performance (EPESSAP)” as an instrument for the study. The instrument's dependability was determined using the test-retest procedure. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to collect and analyze the responses. With a reliability coefficient of 0.83, it was found that the instrument proved reliable for the research. Two hypotheses and three research questions were presented. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the collected data. The findings of the study revealed that most undergraduate students are aware that regular activities or exercise positively impact their academic performance; the findings of the study further revealed that a sedentary lifestyle makes students too lazy to get involved in physical activities or exercise, which eventually tells on their academic performance and that despite the wealth of knowledge on the importance of being physically active, majority of undergraduate students still live a sedentary lifestyle, among others. The study concluded that physical activity, exercise, and sedentary behaviours are not opposite ends of the spectrum. However, there are distinct behaviours with different predictors and pathways towards students' academic performance in tertiary institutions. Based on the findings, the study recommended that regular exercise can positively impact cognitive function, memory, and attention, which can lead to improved academic performance.

Despite the ongoing efforts to prevent cyber attacks the studies and experiences show that such attacks still occur regardless of the strong measures implemented against cyber attacks. It is articulated with different researchers that there is a gap to make a resilient and stronger systems against cybercrimes. This research assessed the effectiveness of cybercrime mitigation strategies by analyzing public awareness, budget allocation, support from management, and availability of skilled personnel. The study used a sample of 885 respondents from five biggest banks in Tanzania. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The implications emanating from the study were discussed.
Apuntes sobre docencia y geopolítica en el arte universitario
Authors: Alvarado-López Marco
Published: December 2023

La revisión metodológica que se presenta en este trabajo, aborda un análisis de tres obras artísticas de Marco A. Alvarado, centrándose en la intersección de la docencia y la geopolítica en el ámbito universitario. La primera vincula un periodo de transición personal y cultural, destacando su relevancia durante el gobierno de León Febres Cordero y la alineación de Ecuador con la doctrina Monroe. La segunda, utiliza palabras de lenguas mayores y menores entrelazadas, representando las distancias entre lo aprendido y la verdad desafiando el término "Latinoamérica" y lo redefine al insertar la palabra shuar "tiishiraiti", generando reflexiones sobre el lenguaje como herramienta de subordinación o autodeterminación. La tercera, utiliza letras fundidas en cemento para fusionar las palabras "pupitre" y "murid", explorando la infantilización de la educación universitaria y la búsqueda espiritual de conocimiento. Este ejercicio propone una reflexión sobre la influencia de directivas supranacionales en la educación, evidenciando la pasividad de los actores sociales y criticando las tendencias globalistas que buscan configurar una educación obediente a agendas opacas.
Las propuestas artísticas se utilizan como elementos didácticos para una reflexión crítica sobre la educación universitaria en artes visuales, destacando su interconexión con la geopolítica, la identidad nacional y las influencias culturales, planteando preguntas relevantes sobre la autonomía educativa en contextos globalizados.
