New Reports of Fungi on Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King, Meliaceae) Leaves and Seeds in Brazil
Authors: Castro Marcelo T. de , Montalvão Sandro C. L. , Morais Ivair J. , Monnerat Rose G.
Published: June 2022

Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King, Meliaceae) is a forest species of high commercial value and is considered noble in many countries. Fungi are the main plant pathology agents, and can attack roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, woods, and seeds. Studies on diseases caused by fungi that affect S. macrophylla are incipient. There is little information about foliar diseases and pathogens that are transmitted by seeds. Because of the scarcity of this type of study in the above referenced species, this study aimed to identify and characterize the fungi found in leaves and seeds of mahogany collected in a small urban forest located in Brasilia, Federal District, Brazil, as well as to evaluate the pathogenicity of potentially pathogenic fungi. In our study, a foliar fungus, not yet reported for mahogany in Brazil, was found, Phomopsis sp. In seeds, this paper represents the first report of the occurrence of Fusarium oxysporum causing reduction in seed germination and death of mahogany seedlings. In addition, the fungi Aspergillus, Curvularia, Penicillium and Rhizopus also were found on mahogany seeds.

Published: June 2022

Given its complexity, directional felling is considered one of the most dangerous activities in the exploratory phase of forest management projects for timber obtention. Therefore, detailed studies of the variables influencing its execution are necessary. The present research was conducted in the Tapajós National Forest, Brazilian Amazon, and analyzed 1,075 trees logged using the directional felling technique in a 504.30 ha area. To better understand directional felling, the studied variables were subjected to descriptive analyses and principal component analysis, a multivariate procedure that enables the simultaneous evaluation of several variables. While the diameter, basal area, and stem and branch volume explained most of the variability concerning directional felling, the commercial height influenced the least. Trees of the species Hymenolobium petraeum (angelim pedra) strongly correlated with the dendrometric variables diameter and stem and branch volume. Those of the species Hymenaea courbaril (jatobá) showed a strong correlation with the commercial height. Pseudopiptadenia psilostachya (fava timborana), Dipteryx odorata (cumaru), Hymenaea parvifolia (jutai mirim), and Astronium lecointei (muiracatiara) had a strong correlation with the basic wood density. Trees of the species Couratari guianensis (tauari), Lecythis pisonis (sapucaia), Astronium lecointei (muiracatiara), Mezilaurus itauba (itaúba), and Goupia glabra (cupiúba) showed lower correlations with the time needed for planning, cutting, and felling. They also had a reduced correlation with the angular differences between the natural and effective and the intended and effective felling directions. The latter results suggest that these species do not follow a defined pattern concerning the directional felling technique. However, trees of the other species followed a different tendency. In general, the logged trees lacked correlation with the directional felling cutting and total operation time. The analyses suggest that as the diameter of a tree increases, the chances of completing its directional felling decrease.
Jan Aushadi Scheme: A crucial step towards achieving health equity
Authors: T Aditya Prasad
Published: June 2022

Health Equity is a widely acknowledged policy objective for all responsible governments
around the world. Equity refers to “equal access to available care for equal need, equal
utilization for equal need, and equal quality of care for all” (Whitehead, 1992). Simply put,
Health Equity is about ensuring that every person has the chance to be as healthy as possible.
In this context, access to affordable medicines becomes a crucial component towards attaining
equity, as even today, drugs constitute a high proportion of out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses,
often causing untold financial hardships for most households.

In this 21st century, technology has brought revolutionary change in global realm,
specifically in information society, which influenced all the different fields of human society.
To compete in world economy, nations cannot think of their development without the
integration of technology (such as information and communication technology) in their
educational systems (United Nations, 2005). Information and communication technology (ICT)
is proved very useful to attain educational objectives in inclusive setting, where all children are
taught in common classroom regardless of their socio-economic, cultural, religious, regional,
caste and creed backgrounds. The task of providing qualitative and accessible education to
differently abled children has become a shared responsibility for all stakeholders
(Ahmad,2015;Praisner,2003); which demands a change in attitude, the presence and
accessibility of infrastructure facilities, different methods and strategies of teaching and
learning, varied tools and techniques for assessment and evaluation, and the solution of issue of
acceptance and accommodation of all learners at all levels in education
system(Ahmad,2014;2015b;Stainback & Stainback,1984). Assistive devices and assistive
equipments of Information and communication technology facilitate children with varied
impairments in inclusive setting. Researches proved that information and communication
technology has played a crucial role to bring equality among all learners in the inclusive
classrooms, however the efficiency in educational process can be achieved only through the
involvement of stakeholders of education and with the efforts of different countries ( in terms of
finance disbursement and provision of infrastructure facilities).

1747’de Nadir Şah’ın ölümünden sonra Azerbaycan’da merkezi devlet yapısı ortadan kalktı. Bu durumda Azerbaycan beyleri İran’dan ayrılarak kendilerini bulundukları bölgenin bağımsız hanı ilan etiller. Ancak Azerbaycan hanları iç ve dış güçlerin de etkisiyle tek çatı altında birleşemediler. Azerbaycan hanlarının kendi aralarında siyasi birlik kuramamasından istifade eden Çar Rusya’sı ise, bu durumu fırsat bilerek, “böl ve yönet” misali başta Gence hanlığı olmakla diğer Azerbaycan hanlıklarını tek-tek ele geçirdi. Fakat bu hadise Sovyetler Birliği döneminde “gönüllü birleşme” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Bu kavrama karşı çıkanlar ise, “olum ve ölüm” dilemma tuğyanının kurbanı olmuşlardır. Ancak Azerbaycan’ın bağımsızlık

Offer, minna och utsatthet. Diskurser om alkohol i våldtäckts- och misshandelsmål
Authors: Jacobsson Maritha , Sjöström Stefan
Published: June 2022

The alcohol consumption of female rape victims is often discussed during rape trials. This has been regarded as an emblematic example of victim blaming and the failures of the legal system in relation to rape. From a feminist perspective it can be seen as an expression of the structural subordination of women in society in general. This article investigates the meanings attached to alcohol in written court decisions in Swedish rape trials (2008-2012). Rape trials are contrasted with assault trials, where the complainants are men. Thirty court decisions from each type of trial are compared, with the same number of guilty and not-guilty verdicts. Quantitative analysis reveals that alcohol consumption is mentioned more often in rape trials, where it also appears more relevant to decision-making. The complainants’ consumption is mentioned four times more often than the defendants’ consumption. In assault decisions, the mentioning of alcohol consumption is distributed roughly equally between the parties. The analysis shows how a large proportion of the alcohol references in both rape trials and assault trials can be regarded as largely irrelevant noise. The remaining alcohol references are understood in terms of five interpretative repertoires: 1) the accuracy of memory on part of witnesses; 2) explanations of seemingly irrational behaviors; 3) vulnerability; 4) getting the victim drunk; and 5) moral character. The latter three interpretive repertoires are more common in rape decisions. As a conclusion, part of the preoccupation with rape victims’ alcohol consumption can be attributed to protectionary strategies, and should thus not be regarded as victim-blaming. However, some assessments appear to build on assumptions that information about alcohol consumption is indicative to moral character that is relevant to court decisions.

Since industrialization paid work has been associated with men. When the labour movement struggled for regulated work time at the beginning of the 20th century it was in reality male labourers working conditions that were at the centre of debate. The demand for “eight hour work day, eight hours leisure and eight hours rest” was an explicit demand, built on an already established gender order; him in paid work and her with responsibility for unpaid reproductive work. This view continues to characterise both the labour market and gender equality policy where a shared responsibility for home and family remains a prioritized goal. The purpose of the article is to from a historical perspective, highlight power relations that underpin the manner in which work, and specifically paid work is conceptualised and consequences of these conceptualisations for women and men from a gender perspective. A review of various attempts to include women’s unpaid work in the home and family, shows that a simple, non-reflexive acceptance of an established work concept risks running into a blind alley where unpaid work is re-evaluated but without possibilities to affect either power relations between paid and unpaid work nor gender relationships between men and women. Our conclusion is that today’s society with emphasis on work-life balance or life puzzle reinforces the gender division of labor and power relations between paid and unpaid labour and tends to reduce gender equality to an individual problem where those with financial resources can buy themselves free from undesired work, while others must rely on State equal opportunity policies but only as long as they do not challenge established assumptions about the way work is defined or conceptualized.
Omförhandling i gruvan?

This article aims to discuss the complexity of stability and change in terms of the relation of gender and work in traditionally male-dominated workplaces, and more specifically in the Swedish mining industry. Mining has for a long time had a close relationship to men and masculinity. From the 1980s until 2005, the proportion of women miners increased from three to six per cent, but during the last ten years the proportion of women miners has increased more rapidly and today the number of women is 15 per cent. What made and makes this change possible? In this article, we merge previous studies concerning mining, gender and organization with new empirical material. Interviews with 20 miners, both men and women, were carried out to present a framework for understanding the contemporary negotiations of gender and work. Our conclusion is that the change in gender patterns can be understood through the following three interlinked processes of stability and change concerning: 1) mining work 2) the relationship between professional identity and masculinity and 3) the companies’ work towards gender equality. Together, these processes create a different outcome than before. Although much is changing in the mining industry, the stability characterizing its gendered relations is at the same time both notably durable and persistent. There is a remaining theoretical challenge to better understand these processes of change, stability and negotiation concerning the relationship of gender and work.

This article is based on a research project carried out at a theatre for children and youth. The project focus was interactive children’s theatre, a format that allows the audience to interact with the actors in improvised stage art. This format is highly interesting from an artistic point of view: it gives the young audience opportunities to influence the theatrical flow and to experience a mixture of fiction and reality, thus enabling audience members to reflect over issues and ideas through acting and participation. However, from the actors’ point of view improvised interaction with different young subjects also entails unpredictability, and with this comes emotional stress. The children’s individual reactions on the theatrical situation varied from sheer happiness, to a lack of interest, and even to violence and self-destructive behaviour. This range of unpredictable reactions, and the responsibility that comes with interacting with children, caused the actors stress. This article accounts for a method designed by the actors in cooperation with the in-house researcher to help the actors cope with and understand the various encounters with their young audience. Methodologically, the article is based on feminist participatory action research. Theoretically, the article draws on the concept of emotional labour as presented by Arlie Hochschild in her groundbreaking work The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling (1983/2003). Emotional labour was also the starting point for developing the method accounted for in the article.

Being a lone mother, the sole breadwinner of the household, and temporarily employed, brings about immense challenges to making ends meet. Working irregular hours, or at short notice, with insecure and insufficient finance, poorly suits children’s need for regularity, stability and the daily presence of their parent(s). In this article we explore narratives based on in-depth interviews with seven temporarily employed single mothers. Drawing on an interpretative phenomenological analysis, we depart from the mothers’ point of view, showing their experiences of challenges and efforts, as well as their descriptions of strategies and solutions to manage everyday life.
Drottningens kropp och vetenskapens pris

This article investigates the relation between science and nation, class and gender respectively in the televised Nobel Banquet. The purpose is to show how different power structures intersect at political, cultural and social levels. The body of the Swedish Queen is used as a lens in order to analyse intersectional power dimensions. Drawing on cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies, this article examines the mediated persona of the Queen in the televised Nobel Banquet via contextualised textual analysis. The televised Nobel Banquet, like the awards ceremony preceding it, provides representations of both science and a social elite. But not all representatives of the Swedish elite equally attract the gazes of the cameras: the focus of attention is in particular on the Swedish queen, who since her Nobel debut in 1976 has received more TV time than anyone else – male or female, scientist or not, from the banquet. How is her body represented in the televised Nobel Banquet? And what are the consequences of these representations for the image of science? The analysis shows that the body of the Queen signifies that ideal femininity, heterosexuality, class affiliation, and nationality are important and normative factors in the discourse of science; its findings destabilise notions of objectivity and neutrality. In the televised Nobel Banquet, her body is a symbol of the aspired status of science, representing its desire to belong among the heterosexual and white elites as well as an acknowledgement of a traditional, ideal femininity.

Academic articles and thereby journals have become more and more important in the everyday life of Academia. Even though the contents of an academic journal depend on numerous factors, an analysis of the archive of a journal can tell us something important about a research field, and/or a discipline. This article analyzes how gender research and “gender studies” [genusvetenskap] is represented in and by a central scholarly journal in the Nordic region: Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift (KVT, 1980–2006), later Tidskrift för genusvetenskap (TGV, 2007–). By drawing on theories of representation (Stuart Hall, Gayatri Spivak) the article investigates and analyzes what the almost 700 published articles are about and whom they represent in terms of disciplines and universities, but also how representation and place are related. Based on a content analysis and conversations with previous editors, the study demonstrates that the “what” of representation in KVT/TGV depends largely on the “where” and the “who”. While not unique to gender studies these are material aspects of scholarship that needs to be further acknowledged. Findings also include some important shifts and continuities. The representation in KVT/TGV are increasingly focused on Sweden, on the academy as such, and on gender studies as a discipline (genusvetenskap), while the presence of “women” “sex” [kön] and “feminism” remain strong throughout the period.

This article examines teen girls’ memories of places and encounters in Turku (Finland), in relation to local discourses on teenagers and public or semi-public places. The empirical material consists of written memories by ninety-seven girls, in addition to newspaper articles, online discussions, blog entries and everyday talk about the city. I argue that silences can be as significant as the voiced. The theoretical work of Michel de Certeau, with the concepts tactics and strategies, are used in the article to examine spatial power dynamics. Henri Lefebvre’s theorization of the spatial triad, with its perceived, conceived and lived space, is also used to understand teen girls’ encounters and practices in different places in the city. In the article, I discuss silences in the memories, silences in the local discourse, and gendered encounters. The shopping mall and the library function as focus points for discussing the two different silences. When I discuss gendered encounters, mainly teen girls’ encounters with boys and adult men, a large variety of places is discussed. I argue that emancipation interconnects most, but not all, of the memories. The shopping mall can symbolize an emancipation from the adult, as the memories concern the first time visiting the shopping mall without parents. In return, the library is a place that the girl can visit alone, without friends, as the memories show. Emancipation can also be connected to agency and tactics. As the memories illustrate, girls use different tactics to emancipate themselves from patriarchal structures, when they meet, confront and ward off adult unfamiliar men. Apart from emancipation, I argue that the place-based memories can be understood as identity markers.
Att göra det politiska personligt

This article analyses social worker’s assessments of appropriate same-sex parenthood in the case of second-parent adoption in Sweden, thereby investigating the governmentality directed towards same-sex parents and how this governing practise normalises certain discourses on parenthood. The material consists of interviews with social workers assessing second-parent adoptions, which have been analysed through a discourse analysis deploying theoretical frameworks on governmentality and heteronormativity. Great differences were found among which criteria were used to condition same-sex parenthood and the impact of social workers own perceptions of suitable parenthood and the purpose of the assessment process. Different standards for appropriate same-sex parenthood and heterosexual parenthood were apparent in the governmentality directed towards same-sex parents, where the legal parenthood of same-sex parents was conditioned by for example unemployment, overweight or a possible forthcoming divorce, conditions that clearly wouldn’t terminate heterosexual parents’ custody rights nor their legal parenthood. A juridical-biological hegemony was often dominating the social worker’s perception of “normal” legitimate parenthood rendering same-sex parent’s already existing social parenthood of little importance in the assessment process. Through the social worker’s assessments and the heteronormative discourses on suitable and desirable parenthood they imply, the state’s biopolitical strive were made visible. Same-sex parents were disciplined both in regard to their bodies, such as health and weight, as well as their way of life, such as their relations and economic resources. The governmentality directed towards same-sex parents thus demands self-governing practises and assimilation to the social worker’s both hetero- and homonormative standards in order to attain a legal affirmation of their parenthood.
Det könade patientskapet

Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in medical practice. The main objective of this article is to explore what obstructs the biopsychosocial approach from being explicitly used in primary care services. Our empirical material consists of qualitative interviews conducted with 33 pain patients and 15 general practitioners. The results suggest that participants agree that a biopsychosocial perspective is important to promote good care. However, the underpinning conditions for the clinical consultation, implicating a lack of time, continuity and knowledge as well as requirements related to societal regulations, limited the possibilities to adopt a biopsychosocial perspective in practice. Instead, many consultations focused on medications and work ability, which, in turn, led to gendered consequences. Women and men agreed that work was an important part of their identity. However, men described different opportunities than women to invest all their energy in work. A main focus on work ability in consultations therefore confirmed the values highlighted by men, but at the same time obscured many areas that were the everyday reality of many of the women. Finally, all patients described an ambivalent stance towards being a patient. Many distanced themselves from the shameful and negative gendered patient stereotypes, but also needed to make their patienthood convincing to general practitioners in order to receive care. We conclude that important life areas affecting pain can be uncovered, and a less shameful patienthood enabled, when a biopsychosocial perspective is materialized with dignity in clinical practice.
Kritik under den nyliberala ordningen: politisk paralys eller potential?
Authors: Johansson Evelina
Published: June 2022

This article analyzes the intricate relationship between feminism and critique, as it is played out in interviews conducted with self-identified Swedish feminists. It discusses how the informants describe feminism as a critical endeavour and understand feminists as critical subjects in connection to the neo-liberal context in which the informants articulate their feminist position and identity. It also analyzes how the informants understand critique as something that both complicates and enables feminist politics, relating the discussion to a conceptualization of the political – underlying the work of Wendy Brown, Chantal Mouffe and Nancy Fraser – as a combination of ongoing agonistic struggles and formations of collective normative projects based on discursive exclusions.

Atopy as a specific predictor of response to systemic and local steroid therapy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps
Authors: Miechowski Wiktor , Czerwaty Katarzyna , Godlewska Izabella , Dżaman Karolina
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Studies on the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis have shown an effect of IgE antibodies on the course of the disease, as well as the effectiveness of treatment. Steroid therapy remains the most prevailing method of CRS treatment.

 Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the clinical response to systemic and local steroid therapy in patients with CRSsNP depending on the total IgE antibody serum concentration.

 Material and methods: A total of 92 patients with CRSsNP took part in the study, where they were divided randomly into 2 groups. In group I, the patients received fluticasone propionate 800 mcg/day intranasally for 12 weeks. Patients in group II were treated with prednisone at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, given orally, for 7 consecutive days and continued by another week with decreasing dosage. Both groups were evaluated prior to and following treatment using the TSS score of CRS clinical symptoms, the endoscopic Lund-Kennedy scale and the Lund-Mackay CT staging of chronic rhinosinusitis. Statistical analy-sis of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out in subgroups according to the total IgE serum concentrations obtained before treatment.

 Results: Both groups of patients achieved statistically significant improvement in the TSS evaluation, as well as in endosco-pic and CT imaging findings. In patients with a total IgE serum concentration over 100 IU/ml systemic steroid therapy sho-wed significantly greater effect on the relief of CRS symptoms in the TSS score than intranasal steroid therapy. Analogous differences in the effectiveness of both methods were not found in patients with a normal total IgE serum concentration (<100 IU/ml).

 Conclusions: A short course of systemic steroid therapy is more effective than local treatment in relieving of CRS symptoms in patients with CRSsNP with elevated serum concentration of IgE antibodies. Atopy may be considered a specific predictor of response to steroid therapy in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis.
Perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection – a systematic review
Authors: Salati Sajad Ahmad , Arkoubi Amr Y.
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Perineal hernia (PH), also termed pelvic floor hernia, is a protrusion of intraabdominal viscera into the perineum through a defect in the pelvic floor.

 Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the cases of perineal hernia resulting as a complication of abdominoperineal resection (APR) of rectal cancer.

  Material and methods: 30 cases from 24 articles published in reputable peer reviewed journals were evaluated for eight variables including [I] patient age, [II] gender, [III] time since APR, [IV] clinical presentation, [V] approach to repair, [VI] type of repair, [VII] presence/absence of pelvic adhesions [VIII] complications.

 Results: There was a total of 30 cases (18 males and 12 females) with a mean age of 71.5 years. The time of onset of symptoms ranged from 6 days to 12 years. Perineal lump with pain was the chief presenting feature followed by intestinal obstruction. Different approaches were adopted to repair by various methods.

 Conclusions: Perineal hernia as a complication of abdominoperineal resection is reported increasingly nowadays, as the approach to management of rectal cancer has gradually got shifted from open to minimally invasive in recent years. There is a need to spread awareness about this condition, so that it is actively looked for, during the postoperative follow-up. Management is surgical repair; the approach and type of repair should be individualized.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Migrainous vertigo (MV) is one of the most common causes of episodic vertigo. Diagnostic criteria for MV are described in the appendix to the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (Beta Version). The dysfunction exerts its impact on certain peripheral and central structures within the vestibular system.

 Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the function of the central and peripheral vestibular system in patients with MV based on the results of objective clinical tests including videonystagmography (VNG) and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) depending on the duration of the disease.

 Material and methods: A query of the medical records of patients receiving vertigo treatment at the Department of Otolaryngo-logy of the Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education over the last four years returned a total of 84 cases of patients diagnosed with MV; the patients were assigned to either of the following two groups: study group I (SG1) – 42 patients with MV in whom the symp-tom onset had occurred within one year prior to hospital admission, and study group II (SG2) – 42 patients who had been suffering from vertigo for about 10 years.

 Results: Patients in both groups (SG1 and SG2) were diagnosed with all three types of vestibular dysfunction (central, peri-pheral and mixed), with peripheral vestibular dysfunction being the predominant finding. A thorough analysis of the dura-tion of vestibular attacks revealed that the patients suffering from MV for a longer period of time (SG2) suffered from vertigo attacks which were longer than those in the patients with the shorter lasting-disorder (SG1). The duration of vertigo episodes was also estimated to be prolonged in peripheral and mixed types of vestibular disorders. The percentage of individuals with peripheral and mixed vestibular disorders increased significantly with increasing MV episode durations.

The Bank Indonesia Scholarship is a Bank Indonesia social program in the form of tuition assistance for undergraduate students (S1) at various State Universities (PTN). However, often in terms of determining scholarship recipients it is not right on target, this is caused because the scholarship award has not used the tools or methods used to determine scholarship recipients, for that a system is designed to determine scholarship recipients. The selection process for Bank Indonesia Scholarships requires accuracy and a long time because each student data will be compared one by one according to predetermined criteria and is also prone to accidental human errors. Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia has not determined a method to help select prospective scholarship recipients and the selection process is still carried out manually by comparing the student data of prospective scholarship recipients one by one, for this reason, the application of the algorithm in this study is to combine the Fuzzy Multiple Decision Making (FMAM) method and Simple Additive Weighting (Saw) with provisions and criteria that have been determined by Bank Indonesia. The FMADM method is used to find alternatives from a number of alternatives with predetermined criteria and the SAW method is used to rank the existing alternatives. The results of this study are used as a tool in making decisions to recommend scholarship recipients.

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the academic and personal life of all college students.However, it has had a more profound impact on medical undergraduates. Objectives: 1) Survey of changes in the daily routine,views about their career and study habits of the MBBS students 2) To document changes in eating habits, other health-related habits, and self-perception of body image Methods: Permission of Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) was obtained. An online observational cross-sectional study was conducted, using an online Google Docs-based questionnaire; circulated among MBBS students of all years, studying in 12 medical colleges both government and private medical institutions of India via WhatsApp. Results: We observed an increase in sleeping hours in 75.1% of students, an increase in sleep onset latency (62.6%),and difficulty maintaining sleep (38.3%). About 67.1% of students reported dedicating more hours to their hobbies, and 71.1% reported a decrease in time spent studying throughout the lockdown. We even observed contrasting responses towards the pandemic wherein 50.3% of the students wanted to volunteer and join the workforce while 37% were worried about the situation becoming worse. The frequency of meals and snacking in between meals had increased. Binge eating habits were noticed in around 13% on a daily basis. As a means to cope with this overeating, around 11% of students used laxatives and induced vomiting. Students also reported medical problems like fluctuations in weight, stomach cramps, syncope, and fatigue. Conclusion: Significant disturbances were observed in the daily routine, eating habits, and study habits of medical students, which had perhaps led to bigger perplexities of career-related uncertainty and improper coping techniques of varying degrees.These can have a nationwide impact on our health care system, stressing the need to strengthen its budding doctors to make them healthier and more resilient for the future

The road is one of the important aspects to support transportation activities. Appropriate road geometry can contribute greatly to the safety and smoothness of transport activities. In addition to the road geometry, water can also affect the condition of the haul road, which can indirectly affect transportation activities. Therefore, it is important to conduct an evaluation of the haul road geometry condition based on the AASHTO theory and to design drainage on the roadside of the mine. Road geometry at PT. Sumber Anugerah Buana has not suitable yet based on the AASHTO theory. This is proven by using the actual result showing that the width of the straight road was 4 - 7,5 meters, and the width of the bending road was 5.3 - 5,5 meters. However, according to AASHTO theory, the width of a straight road should be 4,850 meters and the width of a bending road should be 7,733 meters. So, it is necessary to add width on the straight road in segment IJ and in all segments of the bending road. The slope of the mine haul road at PT. Sumber Anugerah Buana already has a safe slope of the road, except for the A-B segment and D-E segment which are still above the safe condition, which is more than 15%. PT. Sumber Anugerah Buana does not have drainage, so it is necessary to make a channel on the first DTH dimension, which is 0,463 meters wide, 0,701 meters deep, and 0,928 meters wide on the channel surface. Meanwhile, the dimensions for the second DTH should be 0, 260 meters wide of the channel bottom, 0.395 meters deep in the channel, and 0,522 meters wide on the channel surface.

Background: Neural Tube Defect (NTD) is a common congenital neurological abnormality of childhood, and the causes are poorly understood. However, the condition has been strongly linked with genetic, environmental and essential nutritional factors. Objective: To study the awareness and knowledge of folic acid preventive role among mothers of children with NTD in Federal Medical Centre, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Methodology: Data on sociodemographic factors, awareness and knowledge about the use of Folic Acid (FA) among the mothers of children with NTD were collected and analysed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: Thirty-two (32) mothers of patients with NTD participated in the study over 24 months. The maternal ages ranged between 15 to 54 years, with a mean age of 28 ± 6 years. Twenty-seven (84.4%) were aware of FA and had used it during pregnancy, while 5 (15.6%) were aware but did not use it. The awareness came from the antenatal clinics (100%), where FA is routinely prescribed. However, despite awareness of its health benefits, the majority, 26(96.3%), commenced it after conception. Only one (3.7%) used it before conception. Twenty-six (96.3%) lacked knowledge regarding its preventive role against NTD and the timing of its usage. After counselling sessions, they all (100%) indicated their willingness to take preconception FA and educate their family and friends on FA use and its timing for prevention of NTDs. Conclusion: The mothers are aware of FA but lack the knowledge that it can prevent NTD and the appropriate timing of its use. There is need to raise awareness on the role of FA and the correct time to commence it for prevention of NTD in our environment.
