Applying User Experience and Usercentered Design Software Processes in Undergraduate Mobile Application Development Teaching
Authors: López Manuel Ignacio Castillo , Cervantes Ana Libia Eslava , Martínez Gustavo de la Cruz
Published: August 2023

Agile methods in undergraduate courses have been explored by various authors looking to close the gap between industry and professional profiles. We have structured an Android application development course based on a tailored agile process for development of educational software tools. This process is based on both Scrum and Extreme Programming in combination with User Experience (UX) and User-Centered Design (UCD) approaches. The course is executed in two phases: the first half of the course’s semester presents theory on agile and mobile applications development, the latter half is managed as a workshop where students develop for an actual client. The introduction of UX and UCD exploiting the close relationship with stakeholders expected from an agile process can enhance Quality in Use features. Since 2019 two of the projects have been extended in agreement between the client and students. Students, clients and users have found value in the generated products.

Laboratories in colleges are used to give lectures to students, but what about after working hours? Students can get many benefits from these labs after working hours. For example, students can study and do their homework after working hours. In this project, we have proposed a new technique to control the access of these laboratories. Our idea is to use an encrypted QR code with an TOTP authentication that will be connected to LAN network to guarantee that each student enter can only use a single PC. Each student will have his own encrypted QR code that differs from other students. The TOTP code will be sent to student’s university email. The encryption method used encrypted method used AES encryption to encrypt the data inside the QR code to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and authenticity of the date.
Analyzing Political Sentiment of Indic Languages with Transformers
Authors: Gunhal Pranav
Published: August 2023

This paper presents an analysis of sentiment on Twitter towards the Karnataka elections held in 2023, utilizing transformer-based models specifically designed for sentiment analysis in Indic languages. Through an innovative data collection approach involving a combination of novel methods of data augmentation, online data preceding the election was analyzed. The study focuses on sentiment classification, effectively distinguishing between positive, negative, and neutral posts, while specifically targeting the sentiment regarding the loss of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or the win of the Indian National Congress (INC). Leveraging high-performing transformer architectures, specifically IndicBERT, coupled with specifically fine-tuned hyperparameters, the AI models employed in this study achieved remarkable accuracy in predicting the the INC’s victory in the election. The findings shed new light on the potential of cutting-edge transformer-based models in capturing and analyzing sentiment dynamics within the Indian political landscape. The implications of this research are far-reaching, providing invaluable insights to political parties for informed decision-making and strategic planning in preparation for the forthcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the nation.
Business Process Modeled with BPMN and CTL Model Checking
Authors: Ouazar F , Boukala M.C , Ioualalen M
Published: August 2023

Despite the richness of the BPMN language and its advantages for the specification of business processes, it remains a semi-formal language that does not allow rigorous verification of the specifications produced with it, and does not offer any methodological support to cover the verification phase. Therefore, several works have been proposed with the aim of describing the semantics of the BPMN language by a mathematical formalism. In this paper we address the issue of verifying BPMN models with an approach based on model-checking, where we focus on soundness, fairness, and safety properties. Thus by having a business process modeled by BPMN, a formal semantics for BPMN models based on Kripke structure will be provided for a formal verification of correctness. The properties are expressed with CTL (Computation Tree Logic) formulas. At the end, the model checker NuSMV is used for the verification of the formula.
Effects of fodder tree leave supplementation for basal rice straw diet on rumen ammonia, pH, and degradation characteristics in sheep

Published: August 2023

Fodder tree leaves (FTLs) contain high levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals that play a major role in enhancing roughage intake by ruminants, thus improving low-quality roughage utilization. The study sought to measure the rumen degradation characteristics, pH, and ammonia N concentration of sheep fed rice straw (RS) and supplemented with FTLs. Four forest-type rumen-fistulated rams of an average weight of 19.0±1.2 kg were randomly assigned to one of four treatments in a 4 × 4 Latin Square design. Treatment diets consisted of urea-ammoniated straw (UAS; control), RS+100% Leucaena leucocephala (L), RS+100% Samanea saman (S), and RS+50% L+50% S (LS). Data obtained were subjected to the Glimmix procedure of SAS (2016) and significant means were separated using Tukey’s test at (P<0.05). Treatments differed significantly (P<0.001) in the quantity of readily soluble materials (a), rate of degradation (c), and a potentially degradable fraction (P) with LS recording the highest a, c, and P among the treatments. Ruminal pH and ammonia concentrations differed significantly (P<0.0001) among the treatments. Overall mean rumen pH values obtained ranged from 6.44 in UAS to 6.72 in the S-supplemented diet whereas mean rumen ammonia values ranged from 4.59 mg/100 ml in sheep fed UAS diet to 9.15 mg/L in sheep fed L diet. The pH values obtained imply that the experimental diets could improve rumen fermentation and, hence, serve as good sources of feed for ruminants. The rumen DM degradation values indicated that sufficient amounts of DM would be degraded over a period of time, thus releasing substantial quantities into the small intestines for digestion to provide essential nutrients needed for better animal performance. The rumen ammonia values obtained were higher than the minimum values recommended for optimal microbial activity for animals fed lignocellulosic materials. This indicated that such FTLs could be utilized for moderate animal performance, especially during the dry seasons when natural pastures are qualitatively and quantitatively poor.

Published: August 2023

The study evaluated the effect of harvesting date on the chemical composition and in vitro gas production of the botanic fractions of Brachiaria decumbens grass. The botanic fractions (leaf, stem and whole plant) of the grass at two maturities (60 and 120 days) in a Completely Randomised Design with factorial arrangement. Samples of botanic fractions at the different harvest dates were chemically analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), fibre concentrations and in vitro gas production (IVGP) was measured at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h to estimate the volume and rate of gas production. Short-chain volatile fatty acids, microbial protein production, in vitro organic matter digestibility, and metabolizable energy were estimated from established models. Organic matter, crude fibre, NDF, ADF and ADL increased (P<0.05) with increasing maturity whereas the reverse was so for CP and ash contents (P<0.05). Significant interactions (P<0.05) between harvest date and plant fraction were present for both ‘b’ and ‘c’ attributable to treatment effects. Potential gas production ‘b’ elicited a negative response for all plant fractions across the two harvest dates as the values decreased linearly. The rate at which the gases were produced ‘c’ also induced a negative response for the leaf and whole fraction but a positive one for the stem fraction. The nutrient composition and gas production characteristics of grasses harvested at day 60 offer a better potential as high quality forage for improved intake and digestibility. The leaf fractions performed relatively better based on the afore-mentioned methods of quality assessment at both maturity periods.
A new reading of the animal production subsidy program for the Saharan regions: Opportunities and constraints
Authors: BENSAHA Ali , BENSAHA Hocine , BENSAHA Lahcen
Published: August 2023

Like in other Saharan regions, the Animal Production Subsidy Program has increased the herd in Ghardaia. The creation of breeding farms in such areas has generated specific dynamics through a set of measures that have had different impacts on the components of this sector. The data from the guides addressed to the various stakeholders illustrates that the management of the breeding farms presents shortcomings at different levels and even compromises its sustainability. In our model, around 49 % of farmers are renting their farmland, while 51 % are managing their own land. A significant portion of breeders (approximately 75.88 %) expresses the view that the main obstacle hindering the progress of these treatments is the insufficient availability of outreach programs. Applying this management results in young breeders abandoning the farms and using them for other activities. As a solution, the government must revise its agricultural programs and investments in order to achieve the long-term development goals that have been set. The measures to be taken are discussed to preserve the sector and explain the substantial investments made by the public authorities.
Government Expenditure and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria (2000-2022)
Authors: NKAMNEBE Ogochukwu Edith
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the association between government expenditure and poverty reduction in Nigeria from 2000 to 2022, employing a panel dataset and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression method. The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is the dependent variable, while government spending on education, health, and infrastructure is the independent variable. The analysis is conducted using E-VIEW statistical software. The study’s primary findings reveal that an increase in government education expenditure has a statistically significant and negative effect on poverty reduction, both in the short and long run. Conversely, government health expenditure demonstrates a significant negative impact only in the short run, losing its effectiveness in the long run. On the other hand, government capital expenditure exhibits a significant negative influence on poverty reduction in both the short run and long run. These results emphasise the critical importance of prioritising investments in education and infrastructure for sustained poverty reduction endeavours in Nigeria. In terms of policy implications, the study underscores the necessity of augmenting government spending on education to foster inclusive education and address the predicament of out-of-school children. Additionally, policymakers should consider healthcare systems’ long-term viability and efficacy while allocating health expenditures. Sustained investment in capital projects and infrastructure development is indispensable for poverty reduction. The study’s findings significantly contribute to existing knowledge and underscore the pivotal role of these sectors in poverty reduction strategies. Consequently, it underscores the urgency of targeted and enduring investments, efficient resource allocation, and comprehensive strategies to combat poverty and foster inclusive development within the country effectively

Toleransi dalam Perspektif Hadis
Authors: Ach. Zayyadi  , Ismail M. Syukri
Published: August 2023

Toleransi dalam Islam menjadi kajian yang menarik, ini dilandasi sangat sulitnya menemukan padanan kata Toleransi dalam Al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Perbedaan pemahaman makna toleransi menjadikan landasan pemahaman Pluralisme. Artikel ini untuk mengkaji makna toleransi dalam hadis sebagai sumber kedua agama Islam, dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosial. Artikel ini menemukan bahwa Toleransi dalam Hadis dipadankan dengan kata tasamuh dengan makna atau samahah kata ini pada dasarnya berarti al-jud (Kemuliaan). Atau sa’at sadr (lapang dada) dan tasahul (ramah, suka memaafkan). Agama Islam sendiri merupakan agama yang menjadikan sikap toleransi sebagai bagian yang terpenting, sikap ini lebih banyak teraplikasi dalam wilayah interaksi sosial sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan dari sikap Rasulullah saw. terhadap non-muslim pada zaman beliau masih hidup. Sikap toleransi dalam beragama adalah menghargai keyakinan agama lain dengan tidak bersikap sinkretis yaitu dengan menyamakan keyakinan agama lain dengan keyakinan Islam itu sendiri, menjalankan keyakinan dan ibadah masing-masing. Sikap toleransi juga tidak dapat dipahami secara terpisah dari bingkai syariat, sebab jika terjadi, maka akan menimbulkan kesalahpahaman makna yang berakibat tercampurnya antara yang hak dan yang batil. Ajaran toleransi merupakan suatu yang melekat dalam prinsip-prinsip ajaran Islam sebagaimana terdapat pada iman, islam, dan ihsan.
Prominent Value of Mindfulness for Coping Up with Job Related Stress of Employees who Work in The Finance Sector During the Covid-19

Published: August 2023

COVID-19 virus has totally crushed and changed the lives of billions of people in the world. It has arisen as a major epidemiological, economic, and global health crisis (Roychowdhury, 2020). Moreover, the pandemic has infected 232,075,351 individuals and claimed the lives of 4,752,988 people (World Health Organization, 2020). So far, the economic burden of COVID-19 has been estimated to cost between $5.8 and $8.8 trillion (Dennis, 2020), which is expected to plunge most countries into recession (World Bank, 2020). This global pandemic changed the way people live and work before and it triggered one of the worst jobs crises since the great depression (https://www.oecd.org/employment/covid-19.htm) and this crisis was an upsurge of stress in different ways to people who work in various occupations around the world. There has been a significant spike in demand for mindfulness programming since the start of the pandemic (Harrison, P.J., 8 January, 2021). Number of researchers have indicated that introducing mindfulness meditation practice during this pandemic has the potential to complement treatment and is a low-cost beneficial method of providing support with anxiety for all. (Behan, C., 14 May 2020). Mindfulness is the psychological process of purposely bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment which one can develop through the practice of meditation and through other training. (Kabat-Zinn, J., 2013). Many scholarly articles for mindfulness research in the finance sector in covid-19 have highlighted the benefits of meditation and mindfulness practices (‎Behan, C., 2020 May 14). COVID-19 was changed the way people work in Sri Lanka. With lockdown travel restrictions, minimum staff, distant work, and social distance becoming the new rules. In many organizations, these new ways of working were raising challenges and distresses. But In Sri Lankan context, there is yet less research on mindfulness based intervention for addressing the job related stress during the COVID-19 epidemic. Hence, this paper focuses on mindfulness practice as a potential strategy to reduce the stress experienced by the employees who worked in the finance sector during the pandemic.
Excessive Altruism and Its Underlying Motivation: Effects on Likability in Japan and the US
Authors: Hashimoto Katsuya , Nishina Kuniyuki , Miura Asako
Published: August 2023

The present study examined whether there is a difference in the liking for the actor depending on whether the motivation for excessive altruistic behavior is selfish or altruistic. Two experiments were conducted via a Web-based survey. Participants in the experiments responded with their liking toward an altruistic actor, assuming a situation in which the actor responded about his/her motivations. The results showed no effect of individual differences in caution (Study 1), but did show differences between Japan and the US (Study 2). In Japan, actions with altruistic motivations may be evaluated more favorably because selfish motivations were judged to be normatively unfavorable, whereas in the US, where people are tolerant of deviation from the norm, excessively altruistic behavior with selfish motivation may be evaluated as favorably as that with altruistic motivation.

Published: August 2023

O COVID-19 se apresentou de forma diferente em alguns indivíduos da população pediátrica se manifestando com sinais e sintomas semelhantes a chamada Síndrome de Kawasaki, levando então ao surgimento de uma nova síndrome chamada de Síndrome Inflamatória Multissistêmica que descende do estudo e associação de ambas as doenças. As bases de dados utilizadas foram Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online e National Library of Medicine, tendo como base os descritores: “mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome”, “covid-19” e “child” utilizando o operador booleano “and”. Os filtros utilizados foram journal article, clinical trial, relato de caso, artigos publicados em inglês, espanhol, francês e artigos publicados no intervalo de 2020-2021. A compreensão completa dos elementos relacionados à epidemiologia, patogenia, fatores de risco e associação genética ainda não foi alcançada. Dentre as consequências relacionadas a Síndrome Inflamatória Multissistêmica temos que manifestações cardíacas são recorrentes, incluindo envolvimento miocárdico e artérias coronárias que precisam ser reconhecidos e controlados. Diante do exposto, torna-se cada vez mais importante que seja adotada uma estrutura universal e consolidada para reconhecer a progressão em estágios da doença MIS-C, logo ainda são necessários novos estudos para melhor esclarecimento desta doença visando compreender a sua progressão, possíveis sequelas e definição de um manejo clínico específico.

Os canabinoides, compostos derivados da planta de cannabis, têm sido objeto de crescente interesse devido ao seu potencial terapêutico em doenças neurológicas. Este artigo explora as descobertas recentes sobre o uso de canabinoides como tratamento para condições neurológicas, examinando suas propriedades neuroprotetoras, efeitos na neuroinflamação, alívio da dor neuropática e possíveis aplicações em distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos. Às evidências sugerem que os canabinoides podem desempenhar um papel significativo na modulação da neuroinflamação, reduzindo respostas inflamatórias prejudiciais que estão implicadas em doenças neurológicas. Além disso, eles têm demonstrado potencial neuroprotetor, promovendo a sobrevivência e a saúde das células neurais em situações de estresse. Isso abre caminho para possíveis aplicações no tratamento de doenças neurodegenerativas. A capacidade dos canabinoides de aliviar a dor neuropática é outra área de destaque, oferecendo uma alternativa potencial aos tratamentos convencionais. Estudos têm demonstrado que canabinoides, como o CBD, podem interagir com vias de sinalização da dor, proporcionando alívio aos pacientes que sofrem de dor crônica. Além disso, a pesquisa sugere que os canabinoides podem ter benefícios no tratamento de distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos, como ansiedade e depressão. A interação dos canabinoides com os sistemas de neurotransmissão pode contribuir para o equilíbrio das funções cerebrais, influenciando positivamente o estado mental dos pacientes. Embora as descobertas sejam promissoras, é importante notar que a pesquisa sobre canabinoides em doenças neurológicas está em andamento e muitos aspectos ainda precisam ser elucidados. Considerações éticas, regulatórias e de segurança também devem ser cuidadosamente avaliadas à medida que os canabinoides se tornam uma opção terapêutica mais amplamente explorada. Em suma, este artigo apresenta uma visão abrangente do potencial terapêutico dos canabinoides em doenças neurológicas. Enquanto mais pesquisas são necessárias para compreender completamente seus mecanismos de ação e benefícios clínicos, os canabinoides emergem como uma área empolgante de estudo que pode oferecer esperança e novas opções terapêuticas para pacientes com doenças neurológicas.

Published: August 2023

O artigo problematiza as repercussões das políticas neoliberais sobre os cursos de formação de professores em Instituições de Educação Superior (IES) privado-mercantis do estado de São Paulo pertencentes a um conglomerado educacional. A partir das lentes do método histórico-dialético, considerando a totalidade em que se insere a Educação Superior e suas determinações, traz discussões oriundas de estudos teórico-empíricos, ocorridos no âmbito de duas pesquisas de doutoramento (KASSIS, 2021; SALCES, 2020) que, apoiados nas formulações de Saviani, Pimenta, Libâneo e outros, destacam a imprescindibilidade da Pedagogia como campo epistemológico na formação inicial. A partir de entrevistas com estudantes, professores e coordenadores dessas IES, evidenciou-se que a visão economicista da educação impacta nas orientações pedagógicas, curriculares e de gestão. Conclui-se pela urgência da propositura de políticas de formação docente distanciadas dos interesses privatistas e que impulsionem a construção da escola pública socialmente justa, referendada por uma pedagogia emancipatória.

Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho será apresentar o nascimento da prisão feminina no Brasil através do estudo de caso da Escola de Reforma, de modo a verificar as condicionantes que contribuíram para o surgimento desta instituição enquanto modelo prisional administrado pela congregação de freiras do Bom Pastor. Para tanto, as fontes que respaldam esta pesquisa foram múltiplas. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise documental através da pesquisa qualitativa de análise de conteúdo e discurso. O trabalho irá analisar o nascimento da prisão feminina a partir dos seus opressores morais – igreja, estado e sociedade –, que buscaram traçar um perfil de comportamento para as mulheres daquele contexto na tentativa de excluir da sociedade os comportamentos desviantes. Conclui-se que desde o nascimento da primeira prisão feminina no Brasil, estado, sociedade e igreja foram agentes que moldaram comportamentos no intuito de determinar papeis às mulheres, travestidos com a ideia de fazer o bem através da “ressocialização e preservação da moral”.
AS ESCULTURAS DE SANTOS COMO EXPRESSÃO DA ARTE E DA RELIGIÃO MATERIAL BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Fontes de Sá Marco Antonio
Published: August 2023

Este artigo trata da arte de esculpir santos de madeira e de barro no catolicismo brasileiro como forma de materializar a experiência religiosa de artesãos e devotos. Partindo de um breve resumo sobre a história da devoção às imagens na formação do catolicismo devocional no Brasil colonial, apresenta um recorte do cenário da arte santeira atual, produzida em vários estados brasileiros, mostrando como ela, eventualmente, se desvinculou da arte sacra e passou a produzir imagens com características pessoais concebidas por cada artesão, que as distinguem e transformam em objeto de arte e de consumo, desejadas por colecionadores, nem sempre devotos.

O objetivo deste artigo é conhecer e dialogar com o contexto sócio-histórico da vida de Francisco de Assis, buscando apresentar seu itinerário, numa comunicação entre a personagem e seu tempo, além de mostrar seu aporte para o mundo atual, por meio de sua concepção. Nascido em Assis, 1181 ou 1182, filho de Pietro di Bernadone e Jeanne di Bernardone, o jovem Giovanni di Pietro di Bernadone, apelidado de Francesco por seu pai, notabilizou-se, entre outras coisas, por sua forma radical de vida. Sua trajetória se encontra, principalmente, em seus testamentos e nas fontes franciscanas. Francesco é conhecido por revolucionar a Igreja, sem, no entanto, afastar-se dela. Munido de um pensamento de unidade e fraternidade, conseguiu, de forma rara, transcender o tempo, até os dias atuais. O pensamento de Francisco colaborou visão de mundo voltada à unidade dos povos, da diplomacia, meio ambiente e cultura de paz. Para escrita deste artigo foram utilizados os pressupostos teóricos-metodológicos da História Cultural, e para contribuir ao entendimento do homem de Assis, a bibliografia conta com autores como Foucault (1989), Le Goff (2005a – 2005b), Duby (1978, 2017), Franco (2001), além de Fassini (2004), entre outros.

Authors: Prasad Roshan , Wanjari Mayur , Lamture Yeshwant R. , Late Sampada , Sharma Ranjana
Published: August 2023

Prostate cancer treatment can significantly impact erectile function, and penile rehabilitation has been proposed to improve the impacts. However, the effectiveness of penile rehabilitations after treatment of prostate cancer is scarce. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions of penile rehabilitation program after prostate cancer treatment. We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases, PubMed and Google Scholar, to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated interventions for penile rehabilitation after prostate cancer treatment. Studies that met our inclusion criteria were systematically reviewed, and data were synthesized and analyzed. We identified 11 randomized controlled trials that evaluated different interventions for penile rehabilitation after prostate cancer treatment. The interventions included the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, intracavernous injections, vacuum erection devices, and penile rehabilitation programs. The data suggest that these phosphodiesterase inhibitors, intracavernous injections, vacuum erection devices, and penile rehabilitation programs are promising in improving erectile function after prostate cancer treatment. However, the optimal timing and duration of these interventions remain unclear, and there is a need for further research to determine their long-term effectiveness and safety. Healthcare providers should consider individualized approaches to penile rehabilitation, taking into account patient characteristics and preferences.

Published: August 2023

Este trabalho tem como propósito discutir os conflitos socioambientais entre o agronegócio e as populações tradicionais na região oeste da Bahia. Partindo da reflexão da relação ‘Ser Humano e Natureza’ dos pontos de vista do pensamento científico e chegando aos conflitos derivados do avanço do agronegócio e dos interesses do capital sobre os territórios tradicionais. Com a expansão das fronteiras agrícolas ocorreram várias mudanças na realidade da região oeste da Bahia, tanto em aspectos positivos de investimento em infraestruturas, desenvolvimento econômico, e outros, da mesma forma houve aspectos negativos, como os impactos ambientais derivados do desenvolvimento das atividades agrícolas e expansão das lavouras sobre o Cerrado, a exploração dos recursos hídricos, queimadas, desmatamento, contaminação dos solos e das águas, entre outros, impactando diretamente sobre o modo de vida e a própria sobrevivência de todos moradores da região e em especial, das comunidades tradicionais que habitam o Cerrado. E como arquétipo desse conflito, este trabalho aborda o caso do município de Formosa do Rio Preto, no Oeste da Bahia, com o propósito de evidenciar a realidade em que essas populações tradicionais estão inseridas no cenário cada vez mais ocupado pelas grandes fazendas do agronegócio. Trata-se, a abordagem metodológica deste texto, de um levantamento bibliográfico de documentos, entre estudos e relatórios, assim como de plataformas digitais com finalidades semelhantes.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 children diagnosed with CHD who were being managed in pediatric cardiology clinics. As part of the study, various anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) were recorded for each child. The assessment of malnutrition was determined based on the Z score, where a Z score below -2 denoted moderate to severe malnutrition, and a Z score below -1 indicated mild malnutrition. Results: There were 300 participants in the research who had been diagnosed with congenital cardiac disease, and 59% of them were men. The median age ranged from 17.8 to 14 months. The study population had an overall malnutrition prevalence of 86.7%.  13.3% of the total individuals were malnourished-free, 27% had minor malnutrition, 36.6% had middle-range malnutrition, and 23% had severe malnutrition. Analysis of group 1, which included patients with cyanotic illness and pulmonary hypertension, revealed that all of the patients were malnourished. 6.6% of the individuals in this category had moderate malnutrition, whereas 93.3% had severe malnutrition. Patients in Group 2 had cyanotic illness but no pulmonary hypertension.
