An Exploratory Study on Globalization and Psychological Consequences on Sustainable Economic Development
Authors: Sadath Syed Mohamed , Faheem Mohd
Published: July 2024

India’s global economy has grown rapidly since 1991, with an average annual GDP increasing from 3.5% to 7.7% between 2002-2012. Globalization, a process involving immigration, trade, and idea exchange, offers opportunities like increased trade, investment, and employment but also presents challenges like inadequate infrastructure, inequality, and identity issues. The concept of grounded globalization was developed in 2002, allowing psychology to develop a theoretical and empirical understanding of globalization in psychology. This study focuses on how globalization influences the psychological functioning of sustainable economic development, particularly in adolescence, as adolescents play a vital role in globalization. This study employs an exploratory survey design. Five hundred eighty-four samples were enquired about how globalization influences psychological functioning for sustainable economic development. Tools such as ANOVA and linear regressions confirm that Identity issues are central to adolescent development, and globalization indirectly affects how changes influence people, reactions, and acceptance rates. Globalization has led to significant psychological changes in identity, resulting in bicultural identities, identity confusion, and self-selected cultures. This study examines the psychological impact of globalization on bicultural identities, identity confusion, self-selected cultures, and the spread of emerging adulthood.

Kedudukan hukum dan perlindungan hukum bagi tenaga kerja outsourcing terlebih dengan diundangkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2023 tentang Cipta Kerja dianggap bisa semakin melegalkan outsourcing. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis kedudukan  hukum bagi tenaga kerja outsourcing di Indonesia. Jenis penelitian adalah yuridis normatif. Permasalahan permasalahan yang muncul terkait dengan outsourcing seperti minimnya perlindungan bagi tenaga kerja outsourcing, kedudukan hukum outsourcing tidak ada bedanya antara UU yang lama dan UU yang baru, minimnya perlindungan terhadap jaminan sosial kesehatan, kontrak kerja yang tidak adil, dan tenaga kerja outsourcing yang dibayar di bawah upah minimum Metode pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Sumber data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kedudukan hukum bagi tenaga kerja outsourcing di Indonesia diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2023 tentang Cipta Kerja yang  menghapus ketentuan Pasal 64 dan Pasal 65 Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Pasal 66 UU Cipta Kerja tidak dicantumkan mengenai batasan pekerjaan yang dilarang dilaksanakan oleh pekerja outsourcing, padahal dalam Pasal 65 ayat (2) UU Ketenagakerjaan sebelumnya diatur mengenai pekerjaan yang dapat diserahkan kepada perusahaan lain. Ketentuan lain memungkinkan tidak ada batas waktu bagi pekerja yang memungkinkan pekerja dapat di outsourcing tanpa batas waktu bahkan bisa seumur hidup. Ketentuan dalam UU Cipta Kerja perlindungan hak bagi pekerja outsourcing tetap ada yang diatur dalam Pasal 66 ayat (5) UU Cipta Kerja terkait dengan upah, kesejahteraan, syarat-syarat kerja, perselisihan yang timbul menjadi tanggung jawab perusahaan outsourcing

Salah satu tindak pidana yang marak terjadi ditengah-tengah masyarakat adalah tindak pidana memanen dan atau memungut serta menadah hasil perkebunan secara tidak sah, khususnya hasil perkebunan kelapa sawit yang disebut dengan tandan buah segar (TBS). Tindak pidana memanen dan atau memungut serta menadah secara tidak sah hasil perkebunan merupakan kejahatan yang sangat umum terjadi ditengah masyarakat dan dapat dikatakan paling meresahkan masyarakat khususnya petani dan pengusaha perkebunan kelapa sawit. Kekhawatiran atas perbuatan memanen dan atau memungut serta menadah hasil perkebunan secara tidak sah hasil perkebunan tersebut mewajibkan setiap petani ataupun pengusaha berupaya mengawasi (menjaga) kebun sawitnya, akan tetapi hal tersebut sering tidak berhasil karena pelaku tidak hanya melakukan memanen dan atau memungut serta menadah hasil perkebunan secara tidak sah pada siang hari tetapi juga sering melakukan aksi kejahatannya pada malam hari sehingga menyulitkan petani serta pengusaha dalam melakukan penjagaan. Pokok permasalahan yang akan dibahas dalam penulisan tesis ini adalah  Bagaimana tindak pidana secara bersama sama tidak sah memanen hasil perkebunan sawit berdasarkan Putusan Nomor 13/Pid.B/2022/PN Mtw? dan Bagaimana pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam perkara tindak pidana secara bersama sama yang secara tidak sah memanen hasil perkebunan Sawit berdasarkan Putusan Nomor 13/Pid.B/2022/PN Mtw? Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kasus (Case Approach) bertujuan untuk mempelajari penerapan norma-norma atau kaidah hukum yang dilakukan dalam peraktik hukum. peraturan Perundang-undangan (Statute Approach), di lakukan dengan menelaah semua undang-undang dan regulasi yang bersangkut paut dengan isu hukum yang sedang ditangani. Berdasarkan Hasil penelitian Pertimbangan hukum oleh hakim dalam menjatuhkan putusan pada perkara Nomor 13/Pid.B/2022/PN Mtw berupa pemidanaan terhadap terdakwa sudah sesuai dengan ketentuan perundang-undangan yang berlaku Sama halnya dengan Jaksa Penuntut Umum yaitu Pasal 107 jo.

Human iPSC-derived Microglial Cells Integrated into Mouse Retina and Recapitulated Features of Endogenous Microglia

Published: July 2024

Microglia exhibit both maladaptive and adaptive roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and have emerged as a cellular target for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including those affecting the retina. Replacing maladaptive microglia, such as those impacted by aging or over-activation, with exogenous microglia that can enable adaptive functions has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases. To investigate microglia replacement as an approach for retinal diseases, we first employed a protocol to efficiently generate human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived microglia in quantities sufficient for in vivo transplantation. These cells demonstrated expression of microglia-enriched genes and showed typical microglial functions such as LPS-induced responses and phagocytosis. We then performed xenotransplantation of these hiPSC-derived microglia into the subretinal space of adult mice whose endogenous retinal microglia have been pharmacologically depleted. Long-term analysis post-transplantation demonstrated that transplanted hiPSC-derived microglia successfully integrated into the neuroretina as ramified cells, occupying positions previously filled by the endogenous microglia and expressed microglia homeostatic markers such as P2ry12 and Tmem119. Further, these cells were found juxtaposed alongside residual endogenous murine microglia for up to eight months in the retina, indicating their ability to establish a stable homeostatic state
in vivo
. Following retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell injury, transplanted microglia demonstrated responses typical of endogenous microglia, including migration, proliferation, and phagocytosis. Our findings indicate the feasibility of microglial transplantation and integration in the retina and suggest that modulating microglia through replacement may be a therapeutic strategy for treating neurodegenerative retinal diseases.

Revealing unknown cues that regulate oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) function in remyelination is important to optimise the development of regenerative therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS). Platelets are present in chronic non-remyelinated lesions of MS and an increase in circulating platelets has been described in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice, an animal model for MS. However, the contribution of platelets to remyelination remains unexplored. Here we show platelet aggregation in proximity to OPCs in areas of experimental demyelination. Partial depletion of circulating platelets impaired OPC differentiation and remyelination, without altering blood-brain barrier stability and neuroinflammation. Transient exposure to platelets enhanced OPC differentiation
in vitro
, whereas sustained exposure suppressed this effect. In a mouse model of thrombocytosis (

CALR
HET

), there was a sustained increase in platelet aggregation together with a reduction of newly-generated oligodendrocytes following toxin-induced demyelination. These findings reveal a complex bimodal contribution of platelet to remyelination and provide insights into remyelination failure in MS.
Reconstructing Voice Identity from Noninvasive Auditory Cortex Recordings

Published: July 2024

The cerebral processing of voice information is known to engage, in human as well as non-human primates, “temporal voice areas” (TVAs) that respond preferentially to conspecific vocalizations. However, how voice information is represented by neuronal populations in these areas, particularly speaker identity information, remains poorly understood. Here, we used a deep neural network (DNN) to generate a high-level, small-dimension representational space for voice identity—the ‘voice latent space’ (VLS)—and examined its linear relation with cerebral activity via encoding, representational similarity, and decoding analyses. We find that the VLS maps onto fMRI measures of cerebral activity in response to tens of thousands of voice stimuli from hundreds of different speaker identities and better accounts for the representational geometry for speaker identity in the TVAs than in A1. Moreover, the VLS allowed TVA-based reconstructions of voice stimuli that preserved essential aspects of speaker identity as assessed by both machine classifiers and human listeners. These results indicate that the DNN-derived VLS provides high-level representations of voice identity information in the TVAs.
Effects of five types of exercise on vascular function in postmenopausal women: a network meta-analysis and systematic review of 32 randomized controlled trials
Authors: Sun Weihao , Han Yanli , Gu Song
Published: July 2024

Background

As women age, especially after menopause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence rises, posing a significant global health concern. Regular exercise can mitigate CVD risks by improving blood pressure and lipid levels in postmenopausal women. Yet, the optimal exercise modality for enhancing vascular structure and function in this demographic remains uncertain. This study aims to compare five exercise forms to discern the most effective interventions for reducing cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.

Methods

The study searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, EBSCO, and Embase databases. It conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on five exercise interventions: continuous endurance training (CET), interval training (INT), resistance training (RT), aerobic combined with resistance training (CT), and hybrid-type training (HYB). Outcome measures included carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), nitric oxide (NO), augmentation index (AIx), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery. Eligible studies were assessed for bias using the Cochrane tool. A frequentist random-effects NMA was employed to rank exercise effects, calculating standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

The analysis of 32 studies (n = 1,427) indicates significant increases in FMD with CET, INT, RT, and HYB in postmenopausal women. Reductions in PWV were significant with CET, INT, RT, CT, and HYB. AIx decreased significantly with INT and HYB. CET, INT, and CT significantly increased NO levels. However, no significant reduction in IMT was observed. SUCRA probabilities show INT as most effective for increasing FMD, CT for reducing PWV, INT for decreasing AIx, CT for lowering IMT, and INT for increasing NO in postmenopausal women.

Conclusion

The study demonstrates that CET, INT, RT, and HYB have a significant positive impact on FMD in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, all five forms of exercise significantly enhance PWV in this population. INT and HYB were found to have a significant positive effect on AIx in postmenopausal women, while CET, INT, and CT were found to significantly improve NO levels. For improving vascular function in postmenopausal women, it is recommended to prioritize INT and CT exercise modalities. On the other hand, as CET and RT were not ranked at the top of the Sucra value ranking in this study and were less effective than INT and CT as exercise interventions to improve vascular function in postmenopausal women, it is not recommended that CET and RT be considered the preferred exercise modality.
Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods
Authors: Lens Michael
Published: July 2024

In Where the Hood At? Michael C. Lens takes a quantitative approach to summarizing the socioeconomic characteristics of urban Black neighborhoods in the U.S. from 1970 to roughly 2020. This period provides a sample of approximately 3,000–7,000 neighborhoods depending on the year. Lens begins with U.S. Census data in 1970 and defines a Black neighborhood as one in which Black people constitute a plurality. He focuses on how these neighborhoods vary across time and space, looking at the key indicators of poverty, disadvantage, and housing characteristics. While there is a lot of variation within metropolitan areas, histories of Black migration, discrimination against those migrants, and regional economic differences make for substantial variation in Black neighborhoods across the country. Lens evaluates how those neighborhoods evolved over time, identifies where Black neighborhood indicators are better and worse, interrogates some reasons why Black neighborhoods flourish, and discusses the role of public policy in Black neighborhood outcomes.

The Semiotic Analysis of Sufizm Narrative in Mabel Matiz's 'Toy' Music Video, Displaying the Postmodern Poet Image
Authors: ALTAY Recep
Published: July 2024

Günümüzde popüler bir mecra olarak konumlanan dini- tasavvufi anlatılar kitle iletişim araçları vasıtasıyla yeniden üretilerek değişim ve dönüşüm yaşamaktadır. Gösteri çağıyla beraber, sinema başta olmak üzere geleneksel ve alternatif
medya platformlarında din ve tasavvufa içkin filmler, diziler, belgeseller ve programlar çekilmekte kutsala ilişkin söylem, imaj, sembol ve motiflerin yoğun olarak işlendiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; kendine özgü tarzı ve müziğiyle
postmodern ozan imajı sunan Mabel Matiz’in Toy klibinde tasavvuf anlatısının nasıl sunulduğu incelenmiştir. Klip çözümlenmesinde göstergebilimsel yöntem dikkate alınmış; video klibinin genel betimlenmesi ve anlatı yapısı ortaya
konmuş ardından temel anlatının inşa edildiği kişi, mekân, şarkı sözleri ve temel zıtlıklar analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada metinlerarası göndermelerden yararlanarak görsel ve işitsel unsurların tasavvuf söylemini yeniden üreterek
yücelttiği tespit edilmiştir. Tanrısal hikâyenin sinematografik anlatıyla kurgulandığı klipte, bireyin yaşam-ölüm ikiliği tasavvuf mertebeleri üzerinden sunulmuştur. Tasavvuf temasının konu edinildiği anlatılarda temel karşıtlıklardan
biri olarak kullanılan bu ikilik sayesinde genel olarak ‘araf’ta kalmaya ilişkin anlamların üretildiği görülmektedir. Video klibindeki görseller ve göstergelerden hareketle bu karşıtlıkta Mabel Matiz’in dolayısıyla tüm insanların
varoluş mücadelesi temsil edilmektedir. Ayrıca videoda; Platon’un ‘mağara alegorisi’nden, Ingmar Bergman’a, semazen gösterilerinden hareketle Mevlana’dan, Fuzuli’nin ‘leyla ile mecnun’ mesnevisine buradan ise ‘gel gör beni aşk
neyledi’ felsefesini düstur edinen Yunus Emre’ye kadar birçok önemli şahsiyetlerin sözleri, kavramları ve anlatılarına dair göstergelerin ve kodların kullanıldığı görülmektedir.

Osmanlı Devleti’nin I. Dünya Savaşı’nda Almanya ve Avusturya-Macaristan ile müttefik olması iki ülkeyle olan bağları güçlendirmiştir. Savaş devam ederken Enver Paşa’nın girişimleriyle bu iki ülkeye hem işçi hem çırak gönderilmiştir.
Almanya ve Avusturya-Macaristan’ın Osmanlı’yı sınai işçisi tedarikinde önemli bir kaynak olarak görmesi işçi gönderim sürecini kolaylaştırmış olup bu doğruluda her iki ülkeye devlet eliyle işçi gönderilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra Enver
Paşa’nın asıl projesi genç Türklerin, Almanya ve Avusturya-Macaristan’da zanaat, maden ve ziraat alanında çırak olarak eğitim görmelerine yönelik girişimdir. Osmanlı’nın müttefiklerinin bu projeye sıcak yaklaşarak sınırlı bir çerçevede
test etme arzusu doğrultusunda yüzlerce genç çırak olarak gönderilmiştir. Çırakların çoğu savaşın öksüz çocukları olan Darüleytamlardan seçilerek bunlara yeni bir hayat sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Alman yetkililer Türk çıraklarının
eğitimiyle Türkiye’de kültürel nüfuzunu arttırmayı hedeflerken Türk tarafı ise çırak olarak gidip kalfa ve daha sonrasında usta olacak olan yeni kalifiye kadrolarla ülkedeki kadrolaşmayı arttırmak istemiştir. Bu doğrultuda harp
ortamının getirdiği olumsuzlukların çıraklar üzerinde yarattığı etkiyi kontrol altına alabilmek amacıyla hem Türk tarafı hem de Alman tarafı yoğun çaba harcamıştır. Savaşın gidişatı ve genç çırakların beklentileri nedeniyle istenilen
başarı tam anlamıyla sağlanamamışsa da Cumhuriyet’e giden süreçte kalifiye eleman noktasında bu proje önemli bir girişim olarak değerlendirilebilir. Tarama modeli ile doküman analizi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu makalede Alman
arşivleri, Osmanlı arşivleri, süreli yayınlardan ve telif-tetkik eserlerden yararlanılmıştır.

Исследованы особенности процесса распространения сдвиговых горизонтально поляризованных акустических волн SH-ПАВ на поверхности биморфа - двухслойной магнито электро -упругой (magneto-electro-elastic - МЕЕ) пластины, находящейся в вакууме. Пластина представляет собой жестко сцепленные между собой пьезоэлектрический (piezoelectric - РЕ) и пьезомагнитный (piezomagnetic - РМ) слои, внешние поверхности которых свободны от механических напряжений. Волновой процесс инициирован действием удаленного источника гармонических колебаний и предполагается установившимся. В зависимости от заданных на внешних поверхностях электрических и магнитных условий (открытые - open, закрытые - short) рассмотрены четыре задачи, решение которых строится в пространстве образов Фурье. Приведены удобные для использования дисперсионные уравнения задач. Для биморфных пластин, пьезоэлектрический слой которых выполнен из различных материалов, исследовано влияние механических, пьезоэлектрических и диэлектрических характеристик на их дисперсионные свойства и фазовые скорости SH-ПАВ. Исследовано влияние разных электрических условий на коэффициент магнитомеханической связи (КММС), а также влияние различных магнитных условий на коэффициент электромеханической связи (КЭМС). Изучено влияние пьезоэлектрических и диэлектрических параметров пьезоэлектрической составляющей пластины на коэффициент магнитоэлектромеханической связи (КМЭМС). Показана непосредственная связь КМЭМС с значениями параметров пьезоэлектрика. Полученные результаты приведены в безразмерных параметрах и могут представлять большой интерес при разработке, проектировании и оптимизации новых материалов для микро- и наноразмерных приборов и устройств на SH-ПАВ с высокими эксплуатационными характеристиками.

Background: arthropods have been utilized for their socio-economic value as food and medicine for decades in most part of the world. Many traditional healers use insects in their traditional medicine healing system. The idea of utilizing substances collected from insects as medicinal resources, might have originated from the chemical compounds (such as pheromones, venoms, and toxins) sequestered from plants that have shown medicinal value. The study was targeted at investigating the antimicrobial potential of termite and bee natural products on Escherichia coli for possible medicinal purpose. The insects were collected from farmlands (using different insect traps) within Agulu and Nanka communities, Anambra State, Nigeria. The sample was identified and authenticated at the Zoology Department. The insect were killed using killing jar technique, air dried, pulverized and macerated for further investigation. The zoochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of the extract was investigated.
Results: It was observed that the constituents, carbohydrate and saponins were present in all the extracts. Tannins, Flavonoids and Terpenoids were present in the ethanol extracts of both insects. The other zoochemicals investigated: Anthraquinones. Alkaloids, Cardiac glycoside, and steroids were not observed in all of the extracts. The water extract of both bee and termite exhibited less activity against E. coli. The ethanol extract of both insects showed E. coli growth inhibition. Based on the distinct zones of inhibition observed. The ethanol extract of termite showed higher inhibition activity (8.33 ± 0.60 mm zone of inhibition), this was followed by the ethanol extract of bee (7.08 ± 1.18 mm zone of inhibition). The aqueous (water) extract of termite (1.33 ± 0.67 mm zone of inhibition) showed higher activity than that of the bee extract (1.00 ± 0.58 mm zone of inhibition).
Conclusion: The result of the study showed that ethanol extract of termite and bee contain bioactive constituents with antibacterial effect and lends credence to the entomo-ethno medicinal use of insect in the treatment of bacterial infections.

The need for precise nutrient application has become crucial in agriculture due to climate change and intensive farming practices. Deficiencies in potassium, magnesium and sulphur are critical for enhancing both crop yield and quality. Additionally, agrochemical residues in soil, water and farm products pose significant challenges. Mahalaabh (K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O), a combination of potassium, sulphur and magnesium, offers a balanced solution to address these issues. Field experiments were conducted during the Kharif season of 2023-24 at Agrocel Industries Pvt. Ltd., Kachchh, to evaluate the impact of Mahalaabh on castor, cotton and groundnut crops. The trials were executed in a Randomized Block Design, testing different doses of Mahalaabh powder through foliar spray, fertigation and granular soil application. The results demonstrated that Mahalaabh powder is effective in enhancing productivity across the tested crops. In castor, higher doses of 10 kg/acre through drip irrigation and 20g/L foliar application increased productivity by 22.3% and 14.3% over the recommended fertilizer dose (RFD), respectively. However, in cotton, lower doses of 6kg/acre through drip irrigation and 10g/L through foliar application were more effective, resulting in 3.8% and 5.3% yield enhancements compared to RFD. In groundnut, foliar spray at 15 g/L applied thrice at 30-35, 50-55, and 70-75 days after sowing (DAS) was effective, resulting in a 22.9% higher pod yield compared to RFD. These findings highlight the importance of balanced nutrient management practices tailored to specific crop requirements for achieving optimal agricultural productivity.

Published: July 2024

Mulberry is a woody, deciduous tree that is economically important. It is regarded as a distinctive plant on the planet due to its widespread geological distribution across continents, ability to be cultivated in various forms, multiple uses of leaf foliage and positive impact in environmental safety approaches such as ecorestoration of degraded lands, bioremediation of polluted sites, water conservation, soil erosion prevention, and enhancement of air quality through carbon sequestration. Mulberry has a robust root system. Mulberry root systems can significantly improve soil shear strength and anti-erosive capacity. Mulberry plantations are extremely effective in suppressing sand storms and conserving water and soil. The review investigates the role of mulberry trees in carbon sequestration, ecorestoration, soil and water conservation, bioremediation of heavy metals and afforestation.

A field experiment was undertaken at Farming Systems Research Station (FSRS), Sadanandapuram, Kollam district, Kerala Agricultural University in summer 2022 for studying the effect of growth, yield attributes and yield of cowpea through foliar application of 2% urea and intensity of leaf harvesting. Experimental treatments comprised of 4 levels of foliar nutrition management (2% urea spray at vegetative stage (f1), 2% urea spray at flowering stage (f2), 2% urea spray at vegetative stage and flowering stage (f3), water spray control  (f4) and 3 levels of leaf harvest (20% leaf harvest (l1), 40% leaf harvest (l2), and  no leaf harvest (l3). Among the foliar nutrition management treatments, f3 showed significantly the taller plants (91.97 cm), more number of branches (15.13), leaves (34.76), leaf area/ plant (884.29 cm2), leaf area index (1.96) dry matter production (42.39 g) and chlorophyll content (3.544 mg/g) and were comparable with f1. The nodule parameters such as nodule number (37.44) and effective number of nodules (32.11) were the highest in treatment f3 and was on par with f1. Further, days to 50 per cent flowering (53.65 days), pod length (17.27 cm), 100 seed weight (12.40 g), pod number (24.58), foliage yield (1484.57 kg ha-1), grain yield (925.85 kg ha-1) and haulm yield (2722.70 kg ha-1) were the highest in treatment f3 and was on par with f1 except for pod weight (21.19 g). Among the leaf harvest intensity, treatment l3 recorded the taller plants (92.45 cm), leaf area per plant (902.71cm2) leaf area index (2.01), less days to 50% flowering (47.60 days) and haulm yield (2754.85 kg ha-1). It was on par with l1 pertaining to plant height. The number of branches (15.03), dry matter production per plant (40.78g), pod weight/plant (19.43 g), pod number/plant (23.59) and grain yield (925.85 kg ha-1) were the highest in treatment l1.

Congenital heart defect (CHD) cases have been evaluated together as a group in some previous epidemiological studies. However, different CHD entities have different etiologies, and the underlying causes are unclear in the vast majority of patients. Thus the aim of this study was to analyze the possible association of different maternal diseases with the risk of four types of conotruncal defects (CTD), that is, truncus arteriosus, d‐transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, and double‐outlet right ventricle based on autopsy or surgical report diagnosis. Acute and chronic diseases with related drug treatments and peri‐conceptual folic acid or multivitamin supplementations were compared in mothers of 598 CTD cases, of 902 matched controls, and 38,151 population controls without any defects, and with 20,896 malformed controls with other isolated non‐cardiac defects in the population‐based large dataset of the Hungarian Case–Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities. Mothers who had medically recorded influenza and the common cold with secondary complications in the prenatal maternity logbook during the second and/or third gestational months were associated with a higher risk of CTD (OR with 95% CI: 2.22, 1.19–3.88). The common denominator of these maternal diseases may be high fever, which could be prevented by antifever therapies. On the other hand, high doses of medically recorded folic acid in early pregnancy were able to reduce the birth prevalence of CTD (OR with 95% CI: 0.54, 0.39–0.73), and this reduction was significant in transposition of the great arteries (0.46, 0.29–0.71) as well. In conclusion, high fever related maternal diseases may have a role in the origin of CTD, while high doses of folic acid in early pregnancy were able to reduce of CTD, particularly transposition of great vessels. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Here we report on a Portuguese family with three sisters who shared moderate intellectual disability, unusual facial morphology (short palpebral fissures; broad nasal tip; thin upper and lower vermillion; broad and pointed chin) and hand anomalies in two of them (short left third and fifth right metacarpals in one case; marked syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers in another). One of the sisters had microcephaly and short stature, and the other two were obese. Obesity and somewhat similar facial features were also present in the otherwise healthy mother. Despite the overlap with several known syndromes (Albright osteodystrophy; Filippi syndrome; Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome; microdeletion 2q37), we suggest this condition is previously unreported, and most likely displays an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We describe a family that segregated an autosomal dominant form of craniosynostosis characterized by variable expression and limited extra‐cranial features. Linkage analysis and genome sequencing were performed to identify the underlying genetic mutation. A c.443C>T missense mutation in MSX2, which predicts p.Pro148Leu was identified and segregated with the disease in all affected family members. One other family with autosomal dominant craniosynostosis (Boston type) has been reported to have a missense mutation in MSX2. These data confirm that missense mutations altering the proline at codon 148 of MSX2 cause dominantly inherited craniosynostosis. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: August 2013

Raine syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the FAM20C gene that is characterized by generalized osteosclerosis with periosteal new bone formation and distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism. We report on a child who is homozygous for a 487‐kb deletion in 7p22.3 that contains FAM20C. Both parents were heterozygous for the deletion. Our patient had the common craniofacial features as well as, uncommon features such as protruding tongue, short stature, and hypoplastic distal phalanges. In addition, he had wormian bones and pyriform aperture stenosis, features that are usually under diagnosed. It is clear that Raine syndrome has a wide range of expression and may not be lethal in the neonatal period. Furthermore, Raine cases due to whole gene deletion do not seem to have a major difference in the phenotype over those caused by various mutations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
