The study reports the laboratory-scale use of image analysis to categorize dirty white-shelled table eggs. Data generated from image analysis were subjected to statistical analysis and compared with established standards categorizing dirty white-shelled table eggs for washing and sanitation or for use in food processing. The average Quartile 1 (2.49%) and Quartile 3 (9.28%) values of percent surface dirt were found to be proximate to quality standard guidelines values of ≤ 3.12% and < 10% from USDA (2000) and PNS (2005), respectively. These limits were recommended as possible guidelines for classifying eggs into those that are acceptable as table eggs, acceptable for processing with washing and sanitation, and unacceptable for food use.

Authors: Shikha Singh  , Dr. R. Shridhar  , Dr. Monika Sethi Sharma
Published: December 2024

Minor Forest Produce (MFP) is an important source of income for tribal communities living in forests, and self-help groups (SHGs) are involved in procuring and aggregating MFPs. The sustainable management of natural resources relies heavily on women's contributions.This study aims to focus mainly on the role of SHGs in enhancing the empowerment of women and on assessing the impact of the same on MFP management practices that are concerned with adopting the sustainability approach. To assess how SHG empowered women at the grassroots levels of rural Chhattisgarh, a multidimensional index of empowerment was adopted. 200 women were selected through the stratified sampling method for in-depth surveys and interviews. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The result showed that after joining SHG women are becoming more confident, assertive decision-makers, and better natural resource managers. Self-help groups have the potential to improve environmental and economic results in their communities by focusing on the empowerment of women. This study revealed that empowering women through the formation of SHGs is crucial in determining the sustainable management of minor forest products in rural Chhattisgarh. Therefore, there is a continual requirement for assistance and capacity building of self-help groups for them to continue playing an important role in activities that empower women while also supporting sustainable methods in operating microfinance programs (MFP).

Published: December 2024

This study highlights the mental health challenges faced by police personnel in Rajasthan during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing that psychological health is as critical as physical health for law enforcement. Police officers, typically trained for natural and manmade crises, were unprepared for pandemic-related duties. These added responsibilities led to heightened stress, anxiety, and depression as officers dealt with unfamiliar health risks and work stress. In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 681 officers actively serving in Rajasthan was surveyed during different waves of the pandemic, employing standardized psychometric assessment tools through an online questionnaire. The results revealed that a significant number of officers exhibited heightened risk perception, coupled with anxiety about potential infection and the transmission of the virus to others. These findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support tailored to the unique circumstances of law enforcement personnel. Recognizing the importance of fostering resilience and enhancing mental health resources is essential for safeguarding the psychological well-being of police officers. By addressing these critical issues, law enforcement agencies can improve their personnel's mental health outcomes and enhance their capacity to perform effectively during crises and in everyday responsibilities. Prioritizing mental health initiatives within police departments is imperative for creating a healthier, more resilient workforce equipped to meet the challenges of their demanding roles.

Objective: to evaluate patients admitted to intensive care who were previously allocated to inpatient units, using a modified early warning scale. Methods: the study is a census, quantitative, documentary, retrospective, transversal and exploratory research. Vital signs recorded in medical records were collected prior to admission to the intensive care unit. Subsequently, a scale was applied in order to identify the scores, recording them in google forms, along with the respective sociodemographic data. Results: the majority of the population was found to be male, aged between 78 to 87 years old, single and living in Montes Claros - Minas Gerais. Regarding the relationship between time and the score, it was found that this tends to increase as the transfer approaches. In addition, it was noted that the stability prognosis was more associated with scores less than or equal to 4. On the other hand , it was possible to relate higher scores with the occurrence of deaths. Conclusion: the complementary study confirms the scale of the scale for health care practice, as it has positive results for assessing the risk of criticality in patients, and can be used as a judgment criterion for the need for intensive care.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de descrever a assistência de enfermagem aos  pacientes com emergências psiquiátricas. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo  realizada durante os meses agosto de 2024 e setembro de 2024, mediante a pergunta  norteadora: "Qual é o papel da enfermagem na assistência a pacientes em  emergências psiquiátricas dentro das unidades de saúde mental?". Foi pesquisado  nas bases de dados em saúde: PubMed e LILACS, considerando estudos em inglês,  português e espanhol. Foram encontrados 1.593 artigos gratuitos e completos na base  de dados PubMed, incluídos 5 artigos e excluídos 1.543 artigos. Na base de dados  LILACS foram encontrados 22 artigos gratuitos e completos, incluídos 6 artigos e  excluídos 16 artigos. Os resultados evidenciaram que a sobrecarga de trabalho e a  necessidade de lidar com pacientes em crise psíquica exigem que a contenção física  seja empregada apenas como último recurso, devido aos seus efeitos adversos tanto  físicos quanto psicológicos. Os profissionais demonstram dificuldades não somente  em compreender, mas também em lidar com as emergências psiquiátricas. É preciso  investir em educação continuada e capacitação em saúde mental para que os  enfermeiros possam oferecer um cuidado integral e humanizado aos pacientes em crise, contribuindo para a melhoria da assistência e a promoção do bem-estar tanto  dos pacientes quanto dos profissionais.
ENSINO MÉDIO: A REFORMA E A PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA
Authors: Pereira Elton José
Published: December 2024

O presente texto tem como objetivo descrever sobre a trajetória do Ensino  Médio ao longo do século XX até chegar no momento recente, marcado pela Reforma do  Ensino Médio, e também confrontar pontos da Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC (BRASIL, 2018), proposta pela reforma, com a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica. Num  primeiro momento, fez-se um apanhado histórico a respeito da trajetória do Ensino Médio  da escola pública brasileira até ao momento da aprovação da Constituição Federal de  1988. Durante este período, o Ensino Médio foi marcado pela dualidade, educação geral  e educação profissionalizante. No período que estende da década de 90 a meados da  segunda década do século XXI, este nível de ensino é marcado por várias legislações,  dentre elas destacam a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases de 1996 – LDB, o Plano Nacional de  Educação – PNE (2014 - 2024) e outros atos legislativos que foram os precursores da Lei  13.415/2017 (Lei da Reforma de Ensino Médio), que deu origem a BNCC e os itinerários  formativos. Com a aprovação da BNCC do ensino Médio em 2018, este nível de ensino  passe a ser marcado por um currículo esvaziado, com uma formação voltada para o  mercado capitalista sem qualquer preocupação com a formação humana, contrapondo a  isso, temos a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, que põe-se a defender um currículo para a  escola pública, que tenha por concepção norteadora a emancipação humana, portanto um  currículo que deve considerar o que é essencial na formação da classe trabalhadora. O  que se pode perceber é que esta nova versão de Ensino Médio carece de discussões e  melhorias que de fato possam tornar este Novo Ensino Médio o instrumento demandado  pela sociedade contemporânea.

Objective : To evaluate the function of collagen membranes in guided bone regeneration, along with their main benefits and limitations. Method : This study is a descriptive integrative review, aimed at analyzing the use of collagen membranes in guided bone regeneration. The guiding question was: "How do collagen membranes act in guided bone regeneration?". The research was conducted between September and November 2024. Data collection began with the delimitation of the topic and the definition of descriptors in English, using the DeCS platform. The PubMed, Scielo, and BVS databases were searched. A total of 1260 articles were found in PubMed, 7 in Scielo, and 1398 in BVS. Results/Review : The literature highlights the effectiveness of collagen membranes in guided bone regeneration (GBR), acting as physical barriers that protect osteogenic cells and maintain the regenerative space. Studies indicate that the addition of growth factors, such as BMP-2, may improve bone formation. Membranes functionalized with nanoparticles and antimicrobial agents also show better results compared to conventional ones. However, the mechanical strength of the membranes remains a limitation, especially in areas subjected to strong forces. Additionally, factors such as infections and pH changes can affect resorption and clinical outcomes. Conclusion/Final Considerations : The study highlights the effectiveness of collagen barriers in bone regeneration and immune modulation, but faces limitations in mechanical strength and control of membrane degradation.

Este trabalho intitulado salas multisseriadas: um olhar sobre as práticas educativas construídas na Escola Municipal de Ensino Infantil e Fundamental Virgem Maria busca discutir o contexto em que se encontram as classes multisseriadas nas escolas do campo. Bem como, refletir sobre as políticas públicas voltadas para a Educação do Campo, as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores das classes multisseriadas na sua formação, prática pedagógica, em especial, na metodologia utilizada em sala de aula. Dentre as quais destacamos a metodologia do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), que utiliza temas geradores e a interdisciplinaridade como ferramenta pedagógica para o desenvolvimento na aquisição do conhecimento. Para tanto, utilizamos as reflexões de Caldart (2002), Arroyo (2010), Freire (1996), Hage (2010), Fazenda (1979), Vygotsky (1988), entre outros. A pesquisa de campo foi composta por um questionário que foi preenchido pela professora da escola estudada. Como síntese, podemos destacar uma incursão na escola do campo e na sala de aula multisseriadas, verificando que ela ainda se encontra distante do que seria ideal para os sujeitos do campo, para as suas especificidades, onde as classes multisseriadas não atendem o básico para uma boa formação e inclusão dos indivíduos.

Introduction: In the school environment, many accidents can happen to a child, and many situations can lead to death if first aid is not properly applied. Training educators in first aid is important to prevent and reduce this rate. In addition to including the course in the pedagogy curriculum, the study sought to assess the knowledge of pedagogy students related to the basic notions of first aid. This is an exploratory-descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional action research study conducted at the Campo Limpo Paulista University Center (UNIFACCAMP), located in the city of Campo Limpo Paulista, in the state of São Paulo. The questionnaires prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. They included data for sociodemographic characterization, eight questions about first aid in situations of sprain, dislocation/fracture, contusion, syncope, convulsion and choking (airway obstruction by a foreign body) and one question focused on the Lucas Law and another on the importance of implementing first aid in the curriculum of the pedagogy course, obtaining descriptive and quantitative data. The questionnaire was applied before and after the intervention of the health action and consisted of a practical demonstration and explanation of the procedures in situations of sprain, dislocation/fracture, contusion, syncope, convulsion and choking, distribution of the folder with illustrations in images and informative text about the first aid maneuvers. The sample consisted of 33 regular students of the pedagogy course. At the end of the meeting, a positive effect was observed in relation to the expansion of knowledge about the practices that can be adopted in situations that require first aid care. Thus, this study demonstrated and reinforced the importance of first aid from the undergraduate period, thus contributing to the protection of life, both in the school environment and in everyday situations.

Authors: Zaman Sadia Binta
Published: December 2024

Disaster-induced dislocation has become a global concern due to recurring natural disasters and increasing displacement. This study examines the socio-economic impacts of such dislocations on the southern coastal people of Bangladesh, with a focus on their lifestyle, health, and possessions. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 410 social survey respondents, 20 key informant interviews, and 10 case studies, comparing pre- and post-displacement conditions across two coastal districts. The Pressure and Release (PAR) model was employed to assess vulnerabilities, revealing that repeated displacement exacerbates economic and social insecurity, leading to marginalization and social exclusion. Displaced individuals struggle to adjust to new living conditions, food scarcity, and job integration, creating lives marked by uncertainty. This often results in humanitarian crises, including poor sanitation, loss of land, and inadequate healthcare. The findings aim to inform policymakers and development practitioners about the vulnerabilities of displaced coastal populations in Bangladesh.

Published: December 2024

Research on non-conventional energy has experienced significant global growth, with countries such as India playing a prominent role. Scientometric analyses of research trends in this field provide insights into productivity, impact, and collaboration patterns, which are essential for guiding future work and informing policy-making. This study aims to evaluate the contributions of Indian and global researchers to non-conventional energy research from 2003 to 2022, focusing on research productivity, citation impact, growth trends, and international collaborations. The analysis examined 13,378 publications from India and 164,586 publications globally in the non-conventional energy sector over the 2003-2022 period. Scientometric indicators, such as the average citation per paper, annual growth rate (AGR), exponential growth rate, activity index, publication efficiency index (PEI), relative growth rate (RGR), and doubling time (Dt), were employed. Bradford’s law of scattering and Zipf’s law were also tested to assess their applicability in this domain. In 2004, India achieved the highest average citation per paper, with 117.58 citations, while globally, the highest average citation per paper was 67.56 in 2005. The highest annual growth rate (AGR) of 114.26% was recorded in 2006, which also marked the peak exponential growth rate of 2.14, with 45 publications. In 2022, the highest activity index was 141.56. The maximum publication efficiency index (PEI) value was 4.38 in 2004, with 31 publications. The study identified Kumar, A., as the most prolific author, contributing 281 papers (12.87%) and highlighted the United States of America as the top international collaborator with 488 records. Bradford’s law of scattering and Zipf’s law did not align with the publication distribution patterns in this research area. Additionally, the study examined the mean relative growth rate (RGR), doubling time (Dt) for publications and citations, and other key scientometric indicators. The findings demonstrate strong growth and high citation impact in non-conventional energy research, with India and the global research community making significant contributions. Collaborative networks, particularly with the United States of America, play a substantial role in advancing this field. These insights underscore the importance of continued research and collaboration in non-conventional energy to address global energy challenges.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Rotator cuff disorders are a prevalent shoulder problem in clinical settings. The incidence of rotator cuff tears in cadaveric studies ranges from 5% to 40%, with multifactorial etiology. Limited data exists on the epidemiology of rotator cuff tears in the Indian population. This study aims to evaluate risk factors and demographic features associated with symptomatic rotator cuff tears.Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Bangalore, India, involving 105 patients with MRI-confirmed full-thickness rotator cuff tears. A one-time evaluation assessed risk factors, demographic characteristics, and physical examination findings, including range of motion, strength, and impingement. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test to explore associations between age, gender, comorbidities, and rotator cuff tears.Results: The age distribution showed 5.48% in 31-40 years, 23.81% in 41-50 years, 40.95% in 51-60 years, 22.86% in 61-70 years, and 6.90% in >70 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.56:1, with a significant gender difference (p = 0.03). Right shoulder involvement was more common (68.10%), with the dominant shoulder affected in 65 patients. Hypertension (29.5%) and type 2 diabetes (24.8%) were the most common comorbidities.Conclusion: Increasing age is the primary risk factor for rotator cuff tears, with risk rising proportionately with age. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are common comorbidities associated with rotator cuff disease in the Indian population.

Background: Chronic periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a conventional non-surgical therapy. However, adjunctive treatments like diode lasers and local drug delivery systems (e.g., 1% Ornidazole gel) have been proposed to enhance treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of SRP alone and combined with diode laser or 1% Ornidazole gel as adjunctive therapies for managing chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: This experimental study included forty five individuals of both gender aged between 27 and 60 years diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and having pocket depths >4 mm in different quadrants of the mouth were selected and divided equally into three groups as Group-I (treated with SRP only), Group-II (treated with SRP and diode Laser application of 1.5 w, 980nm,30sec continuous wave), Group-III (treated with SRP and Application of 1% Ornidazole gel, as local drug delivery). Clinical parameters including gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and after 1 month of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the outcomes among the three groups.Results: All groups exhibited significant improvement in periodontal health, with reductions in GI, PPD and improvements in CAL. The intra-group comparison of all three groups from baseline to one month showed a statistically significant reduction in GI, PPD and CAL. In contrast, the intergroup comparison between Group I (SRP only) and Group II (SRP+Diode laser) showed statistically non-significant results in PPD and CAL. A statistically significant reduction in PPD and CAL was observed in Group III (SRP+ 1% Ornidazole gel) compared to Group I and Group II.Conclusion: Adjunctive use of diode laser and 1% Ornidazole gel enhances the efficacy of SRP in treating chronic periodontitis. Both modalities offer clinical benefits over SRP alone, with the 1% ornidazole showing marginally better results. when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in non-surgical periodontal therapy of patients with chronic periodontitis. Further research with a larger sample size and longer follow-up is needed to validate these findings.

Sleep disorders are not just a disruption of a person’s normal recovery process and a deterioration in life quality. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that insomnia is an independent factor that worsens the course of somatic diseases and leads to psycho-emotional disorders of varying severity. Research into cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia aims to provide answers to these questions. The most effective non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia are behavioural and psychotherapeutic methods that improve sleep and do not cause side effects or addiction. The chosen research topic is also relevant in the context of the increasing prevalence of insomnia due to the profound shocks of the Russian-Ukrainian war among internally displaced persons, various other stresses and interpersonal conflicts. All these and many other factors can cause acute insomnia. Patients with insomnia often have increased emotional reactivity, which can also lead to disorders. The findings of the research help understand the psychological factors involved in the processes of researching cognitive behavioural therapy for sleep disorders and can be used by practitioners who are faced with the need to treat patients with insomnia; it will help to understand traumatic experiences and emotional needs better. In conclusion, cognitive behavioural therapy is a practical, non-pharmacological approach to the treatment of sleep disorders, including insomnia. The study highlights the importance of addressing psychological factors, such as emotional reactivity and traumatic experiences, which are often associated with insomnia. As well as providing valuable information for practitioners, this study highlights the importance of individualised therapeutic interventions, particularly in high-stress environments such as those resulting from war and displacement. cuments in various Scopus indexed journals was examined bibliometrically, for the years 2014-2024.

Background: Urinary tract infection occurs among the most prevalent infections in humans is urinary tract infection. When uropathogenic bacteria, typically Escherichia coli, rise from the perineum into the bladder and defeat host innate immunity, simple infections most frequently occur in apparently healthy women Urinary tract infection is one of the commonest infections to affect humans. Purpose: The study assessed the effectiveness of Structured teaching programme on regarding UTI among female patients admitted in Adichunchanagiri Hospital & Research Center B G Nagara. Method: The patient’s level of knowledge was assessed using an 30-item Urinary Tract Infection female Patient Awareness Questionnaire. An STP was administered to 60 patients with UTI Female Patient. Discussion: The pretest mean knowledge score was 42.89% and SD was ±2.45. The posttest mean knowledge score was 77.00% and SD was ±2.14. The paired t-test showed t=2.04, df=29. Conclusion: STP was effective in enhancing the knowledge of UTI Female patients. This implies that when appropriately implemented, the UTI patients will bring the benefits of STP, Which could enhance their overall health condition.

PURPOSE:In recent times, the incidence of sudden cardiac death in athletes has increased. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the influence of somatotype components and lipid profile on VO2 max, a cardiovascular risk indicator in physically active young South Indian males.METHODS:Eighty-six male athletes were included (Age 21.99 ± 2.78 years, Body mass 65.24 ± 8.77 Kg, Height 171.42 ± 6.19 cm) and somatotyped by the Heath-Carter method. Bruce protocol treadmill test was done and VO2 max norms were calculated using the total exercise time in the treadmill test. Based on the VO2 max, subjects were grouped into Fair VO2 max (36.5 – 42.4, Good VO2 max (42.5 – 46.4), Excellent VO2 max (46.5 – 52.4), and Superior VO2 max group (> 52.4).Blood tests were done for fasting cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Spearman correlation was done to understand the relationship between the VO2 max groups, somatotype components, and lipid profile. RESULTS:An increase in endomorphy and mesomorphy components negatively correlated with VO2 max in young male athletes. A significant influence of somatotype components on lipid profile was observed only in the Excellent and Superior VO2 max groups. In these groups, a negative relationship was observed between ectomorphy and cholesterol level, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and Cholesterol High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (Chol-HDL-C) ratio. Similarly, an increase in the endomorphy component showed a positive relationship with LDL-C and the Chol-HDL-C ratio. An increase in endomorph had a negative relationship with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in these groups. Athletes in the Fair, Good, and Excellent VO2 max categories demonstrated LDL-C levels in the "Near Optimum" range, while those in the Superior VO2 max group exhibited LDL-C levels within the "Optimum" range as per the Adult Treatment Panel, (ATP) III classification of serum lipid parameters and this is a new clinical observation recorded.CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that the somatotype components and lipid profile have an impact on VO2 max, a determinant of cardiovascular endurance, and a risk indicator.in various Scopus indexed journals was examined bibliometrically, for the years 2014-2024.
