Authors: Akpan UM  , Ekpenyong EE  , Dickson AJ  , Oloyede IP
Published: May 2024

Background: Childhood mortality has become one of the world’s targets for reduction as encapsulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Although mortality among children aged younger than 5 years has declined globally in the past two decades, considerable geographical differences exist and remain disproportionately high in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Many hospital-based studies in Nigeria have shown the predominance of infectious diseases such as sepsis, bronchopneumonia, and HIV/AIDS as the leading causes of childhood mortality.
Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Paediatrics of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective review of all the deaths among the hospitalized children from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2021.
Results: A total of 191 deaths in the Paediatrics Department of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital were recorded, 99 males (51.3%) and 92 females (47.7%). This study shows that 27.00% of children who died where infants, 28.30% were children 1-5 years and 44.50% were children above 5 years. The commonest cause of childhood mortality in this study was severe sepsis (30.00%), followed by HIV/AIDS (11.40%), bronchopneumonia (9.84%).
Conclusion: Most of the leading causes of childhood mortality in Nigeria are infectious diseases. These are largely preventable and leave room for improvement in our practice of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), appropriate community education on hygienic practices and prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Authors:   Department of Nursing, School of Nursing, Wichita State University, USA, Ward Maggie A , Schmidt Hannah , Childs Belinda
Published: May 2024

Background: Diabetes is a disease that is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States [1]. Adults diagnosed with diabetes are not only at an increased risk for further complications and disability, but they are also at an increased risk for an earlier death. When patients have appropriate education, there is a decrease in complications, reduced health care costs, improved quality of life and patients seek out preventative care more frequently. Problem: According to the Rural Health Information Hub, only 62% of individuals living in rural areas with diabetes have access to diabetes education and support [2]. Methods: A pre and post education survey were used to assess if participants have improved knowledge regarding healthy meal planning and feel more empowered to manage their disease after an education session provided by an advanced practice nursing student. Implications: There is a need for improved diabetes education within rural communities. Nurse practitioners (NP) are becoming more prevalent within rural settings. When patients receive education from NPs regarding healthy meal planning for diabetes, this leads to improved knowledge, which in turn increases patient empowerment to manage their chronic disease

Authors: Maqsood Nazik , Shahid Tanveer Ahmad , Rehman Abaid Ul
Published: May 2024

Using a sample covering practically all dividend-paying oil and gas companies companies in Pakistan during 2011–2020, we document that earnings management in these companies is driven by two concurrent forces: the willingness to pay (tax-exempt) dividends and avoiding unnecessary company income tax. Moreover, we show that the need for income increasing earnings management enabling current dividend distribution is mitigated by the amount of retained earnings from prior years. This article adds to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence for dividend and tax-driven earnings management in private oil and gas companies facing neither political pressures nor capital market incentives for earnings disclosures.

There is a growing body of literature highlighting the potential of game-based learning (GBL) in creating immersive, highly engaging, active learning experiences. Furthermore, advances in digital technology along with the demand for online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought digital GBL to the forefront of innovative teaching practice. Here, I share some of the digital GBL strategies we have developed to support our pharmacology teaching. In collab¬oration with our students, we have co-created a series of “choose your own adventure” style games using Twine; an open-source storytelling game engine. Importantly, we have shown that adoption of these GBL approaches is highly effective in promoting student engagement, subject understanding, and learning community. Furthermore, I also dis¬cuss how AI tools can allow educators with little knowledge or experience of game development to create unique and engaging learning experiences for their students.

Vasculopathy is typically seen in diabetic patients, and can lead to foot ulcerations. Carbon dioxide (CO2) therapy was found to improve chronic wound healing in patients with vascular impairment. This type of therapy refers to the transcutaneous and subcutaneous application of CO2 as well as CO2 water baths for therapeutic purposes. In the method used herein, artificial CO2-containing water for foot bathing was generated by dissolving Carbothera® (MRE-SPA-MD; Mitsubishi Rayon Engineering, Tokyo, Japan) and generating CO2 (free CO2 concentration: 1,000–1,200 mg/L; pH 4.6). The foot of each patient was immersed in CO2-enriched water (depth of 20–30 cm, 37–38°C, 30-min duration) three times per week, for the next three months. Dramatic clinical improvement was observed in the CO2 water bath therapy group before and after the treatment, while both the blood levels of the vascular endothelial growth factor and of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha in these patients exhibited significant changes. The advantages of this method are the absence of pain and the protection against infection, while the improved angiogenesis and oxygena¬tion can result in healing of the chronic wound.

Only a small percentage of adults engage in regular physical activity, which means a decline in quality of life and a very poor result compared to Europe (Osiński, 2013). The purpose of this literature review is to find the most contemporary methods from the most ranked scientific works on the improvement of physical abilities and the most efficient methods in adults over 40 years old. Digital databases such as Scopus, Medline, JStore, Embase, Cochrane Central, PsycInfo, Schoolar, and SPORTDiscus were used in this literature review. Inclusion criteria are: individuals must be healthy and average age at least 40 years old. Many other studies such as (Skelton et al., 1994; Foldvari et al., 2000; Bean et al., 2007) report that physical functions are more related to muscle power than to muscle strength or mass. Strength training has many benefits on physical function in older adults compared to traditional strength training (Tschopp et al., 2011; Da Rosa., 2019). Harmonization or proper use of variables such as exercise selection, breaks, number of sets, number of repetitions, frequency affect the increase in the level of muscular fitness. Strength, muscular endurance, muscular strength and muscular hypertrophy are the characteristics that should be trained (Ratamess et al., 2009). While in an all-inclusive program resistance training improves the cardiovascular system (Fleck. 1988), limits the risk of coronary heart disease (Goldberg. 1989; Hurley & Kokkinos, 1987), helps prevent osteoporosis (Layne & Nelson. 1999), removes the risk of diabetes (Miller et al., 1984), promotes maintaining a healthy weight and losing excess weight (Evans. 1999), reduces the risk of cancer in the spine (Koffler et al., 1992), helps in psychological/mental well-being (Ewart. 1989) as well as improves dynamic stability and maintenance of functional capacity (Evans. 1999). In conclusion from the study of Balachandran et al. (2022) found that strength training leads to improvements in physical function more than traditional strength training.

Throughout history, physical education has witnessed both periods of prosperity and times of decline. Dating back to the ancient world, it was held in high regard, as evidenced by well-known maxims like "Beautiful and good" (Kalos, Kai, Agatos) and "Mens sana in corpore sano", which encapsulate valuable ideals about the educational ideal. These maxims suggestively reveal the intrinsic unity between physical and mental well-being, highlighting their intricate interplay.
However, in the realm of physical education and sports for students, the development of psycho-motor qualities has not always received the attention it deserves. Often, solutions have been proposed without fully considering the educational objectives or precisely defining the role of motor qualities in achieving these objectives and molding students' desired training outcomes.

Authors: *Nazia Bashir  , Rukhsana Kausar  , Nashi Khan
Published: May 2024

The present study tended to study the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG). It also covers the predictive role of demographic features and flood-related experiences for PTSD and PTG in school children living in the flood-prone area of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. 273 school going children were assessed in 2016 after one year to expose flood. Urdu version of Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children –Revised, Child PTSD Symptom Scales and demographic form were used to assessPTG and PTSD respectively in children falling in the age range of 11-17 years. The devastation of the school building and financial loss in form of crop damage were the positive predictors of PTSD. Moreover, living in tents, the experience of homelessness, financial losses, exposure to wounded and dead bodies, education, and occupation of the father were noteworthy indicators of PTG. No relationship was noted between PTSD and PTG. Findings supported the notion that PTSD and PTG can coexist therefore clinical implications and ideas related to preventive planning are discussed.

Authors: Sobia Masood  , Anila Kamal
Published: May 2024

The present research aimed at investigating the effects of gender role attitudes on attribution of blame for spousal violence in married men and women. Spousal Violence Blame Questionnaire (SVBQ) was developed which was based on 12 visual scenarios of spousal incidents; scenario opinion questionnaire; and background information/ story cards. A sample of 120 married participants (60 men, 60 women) with age ranging from 20 to 62 years (M=35.63) was administered by Gender Role Attitude Scale (Kamal &Saqib, 2004), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Naseer, 2000) and SVBQ. Experimental group was given the background story before presenting video clips, whereas the control group was shown the clips without the background story. Experimental group attributed significantly more blame towards the victim in a spousal violence incident as compared to the control group. Participants considered an incident as spousal violence in case of physical violence scenarios but they did not take it as violence in case of non-physicalviolence.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and impulsivity in students (17-25 years of age) of University of the Punjab, Lahore.A sample of 80 university students (mean age = 21 years) was selected through convenience sampling from five departments at the New Campus with equal representation of both genders. The Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (Anda, 2007) measured number of adverse childhood experiences faced by the participants; while Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Version 11 (Patton, Stanford & Barratt, 1995) assessed impulsivity. Pearson product moment correlation revealed a non-significant correlation between adverse childhood experiences and impulsivity. Furthermore, a significant gender difference was discovered through independent samples t test, men reporting significantly higher occurrences of adverse childhood experiences. It was concluded that due to the sensitive nature of the topic with reference to the conservative Pakistani society, participants might have inaccurately reported thatchildhood experiences resulting in the non-significant correlation with impulsivity. Accordingly, it was suggested that indigenous tools be developed in order to minimize these cultural influences and future studies should aim to explore these cultural dynamics.

Green building certification is standard practice for ensuring positive performing buildings during their construction and operational phase. Throughout the lifecycle of the building, the major consumption of resources occurs in the operational phase, when occupants interact with the building systems and spaces for their comfort and productivity. Building performance is largely a measure of the number of natural resources it consumes for its work and the quality of spaces it provides for its occupants. Occupant perception and satisfaction within an environment is an implicit parameter that has a huge impact on building performance. This parameter of performance is hardly attempted for comprehension or quantification by building operators, managers, and owners by conducting post-occupancy evaluation (POE) studies. This lacuna in building industry practice leads to a gap in anticipated building operational performance. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to highlight the significance of occupant satisfaction in achieving green building performance targets.

Completed in 2017, the building complex Moradias Infantis de Canuanã (Canuanã Children’s Village) is located in the city of Formoso do Araguaia in Tocantins, in Brazil. Its architecture is strongly influenced by the local savanna climate which is characterised by distinct hot-dry and hot-mid seasons. In this study, the authors evaluated the buildings thermal conditions and the potential of natural ventilation using analytical procedures supported by computer simulations. Air movement in the transitional spaces was also simulated with CFD techniques. The findings reveal that during the hottest periods of the year, the key habitable spaces (bedrooms) in the building have temperatures 10 °C below the outdoors. Primarily, this performance is attributed to the influence of thermal mass, combined with natural ventilation and shading. Additionally, a positive impact of natural ventilation on indoor conditions requires a combination of wind driven and buoyancy effects. In the courtyards, the distance between blocks is enough to allow perceivable air-speeds. Overall, this study has shown that the holistic design employed at the Children’s Village building complex in Tocantins works well to maintain the indoor thermal environment at acceptable conditions.

In recent years, the adaptive model of thermal comfort has gained traction as a more robust alternative to fixed set-point-driven design, which considers various factors that impact human comfort, such as humidity, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, and ambient temperature. Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize the limitations of such models and the potential for discomfort and stress. This research employs simulations to systematically evaluate WBGT as a parameter to measure heat stress in residential buildings in Bhubaneshwar, India, comparing ventilation scenarios. The study assesses three building envelope materials: Conventional (RCC and Brick) and Innovative (EPS Core). The ECBC-R standard and a dynamic method derived from regression analysis predicts heat stress, analysing natural ventilation in residential units using the IMAC-R and ISO 7243 benchmark. Heat stress profoundly affects well-being in hot climates. With the rise of energy-efficient, naturally ventilated buildings, understanding their impact on heat stress is crucial. This is particularly significant in countries like India that are grappling with climate change induced heat waves. The study focuses on the factor of heat stress in adaptive thermal comfort models, emphasizing the need for a more holistic approach to indoor comfort factors. Insights gained can lead to improved strategies for optimal thermal comfort and reduced heat stress risks, vital for occupant health. Indoor WBGT ranged from 16°C to 33°C for various envelopes, averaging 28°C (RCC), 24°C (Brick), and 22°C (EPS). Indoor air velocity of 0.9-1.8 m/s lowered WBGT by 0.15°C or 0.27°C annually. Discomfort hours were ~5,000 (RCC), 3,600 (Brick), and 3,200 (EPS), peaking in May-June at 40°C outdoor DBT. Proper insulation and ventilation are crucial for comfort and heat stress reduction. By considering diverse factors affecting indoor comfort, it offers insights to create safe and comfortable indoor environments, especially in regions prone to heat stress. The findings advocate a balanced approach that combines effective insulation and ventilation strategies for optimal occupant well-being.

The concept of circular economy is gaining prominence as a sustainable approach to resource management and environmental protection. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, circular economy is "an economy that is restorative and regenerative by design, and which aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest utility and value at all times". The circular economy model emphasizes the efficient use of resources, reduction of waste, and promotion of closed-loop systems to create a sustainable and resilient economy. This research paper tries to understand the application of circular economy principles in the building design and construction methods in India. The study will analyse the existing manufacturing methods for brick, cement, and steel bars in India, identify market trends and innovative policy and regulatory practices related to circular economy principles. The paper argues the need for service level innovations and market transformation in the building material production process, Eco-labelling policy and whole building Embodied Carbon indicator and informed consumer behaviour as well as environmental product declaration recommendations as the long-term strategies for the circular economy in the building design and construction industry.

The building sector is considered to be one of the most energy-intensive sectors across the world. The building sector consumes about 40% of the world's primary energy and is responsible for a third of total CO2 emissions. Unprecedented high temperatures and heat waves experienced in many parts of India have disrupted everyday life and increased the energy consumption of buildings further. This posed a big question on the persisting indoor environment quality. North-East India is developing very rapidly, and the government of India is also looking to develop it as a hub to connect South Asian countries. The present study is conducted in Tezpur's naturally ventilated office buildings in warm and humid North-East India. Year-long thermal comfort surveys were carried out in 12 naturally ventilated office buildings, collecting 790 samples from July 2016 to June 2017. Data analysis shows that for Tezpur, neutral temperature through regression analysis and Griffiths method is 26.4°C. Tezpur offices' preferred temperature and relative humidity are 24°C and 55%, respectively. Probit analysis showed that occupants are more adaptive toward the warmer side of the thermal sensation scale. It was also found that the office subject's clothing behaviour was a non-linear function of temperature and impacted by local discomfort, creating a temperature difference between the occupant and back wall surface temperature. Data analysis also concluded that ceiling fan use increases exponentially as the indoor globe temperature in the offices reaches 24°C and plateaus or reaches almost 100% at the indoor globe temperature of 32°C.
