Published: September 2023

En Perú, la Región Amazonas enfrenta desafíos en el acceso a atención médica especializada y al tratamiento de enfermedades raras, incluyendo patologías congénitas. Estas patologías afectan la calidad de vida y requieren un enfoque integral y de responsabilidad social en la atención. Las personas con patologías congénitas en la Región Amazonas enfrentan barreras similares a nivel nacional e internacional, como limitado acceso a atención, altos costos y estigmatización. El propósito fue conocer las políticas públicas en salud en Perú y la visión de la responsabilidad social para la atención de patologías congénitas, utilizando la frecuencia de diagnóstico de malformaciones congénitas respecto de los diagnósticos entre 2012 y 2021 en la Región Amazonas, Perú. Para llevar a efectos la presente investigación se realizó una investigación es de nivel descriptivo, observacional, transversal, y retrospectivo. El rango de casos de malformación congénita en relación al total de atenciones oscila entre 0.04% a 0.18%, considerándose cifras insignificantes para la creación de políticas públicas en salud, considerándose una tasa de prevalencia de 1 caso por cada 1000 diagnósticos. La baja prevalencia de esta patología es la razón del desinterés del estado y la comunidad de salud para el desarrollo de políticas públicas que aborden estos problemas de salud. La implementación de programas de atención de patologías congénitas en poblaciones vulnerables, como la Región Amazonas, es esencial para garantizar acceso equitativo a servicios médicos que reflejen el compromiso de la sociedad con la salud de todos y que busquen abordar y disminuir las desigualdades existentes.

A importância dos direitos humanos na educação inclusiva
Authors: Gonçalves Daniel Ronaldo , Manjinski Everson
Published: September 2023

A Constituição Federal de 1988 trouxe com maior clareza e iluminou o que conhecemos como Cláusulas Pétreas, sendo contemplados nesta, a positivação de direitos inerentes ao ser humano, de forma basilar e inalienável, que constituem uma constante busca pela manutenção e preservação desses Direitos, que foram adquiridos ao longo do tempo por meio de muitas e duras lutas, que aliadas ao desejo de trazer aos cidadãos as garantias emanadas pela Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos, é que gradativamente foi sendo discutida e inserida no texto constitucional pátrio, porém ainda, em muitos casos, Principiológicas, de modo que ainda deverão ser discutidas pela sociedade organizada e implementadas nas políticas públicas para alcançar a uniformidade em todo o território nacional, a fim de que se possam diminuir as desigualdades regionais. Dessa forma, a criação e manutenção desses direitos, formam a base para a sobrevivência da sociedade humana como a conhecemos, com vistas à garantia da aplicação dos Direitos Fundamentais, como meio de assegurar a educação ampla e sem restrições a todos os indivíduos, trazendo-lhes segurança e bem-estar, onde ao contemplarmos a nossa história, estaremos afastando a segregação de não apenas números, mas sim de seres humanos que precisam apenas de um pouco mais de compreensão acerca de suas limitações, para poder exercer a vida cotidiana plena. Cabe ainda reforçar que as evoluções legislativas foram forjadas nas dificuldades das famílias em verem seus entes queridos discriminados e em muitos casos sem acesso à educação, a cultura e porque não dizer também às tecnologias que aos poucos estão sendo implementadas em salas de aula. Neste artigo, buscou-se como metodologia, a observância de doutrinas, pesquisas em trabalhos acadêmicos de mestrado, e também em fontes abertas além da percepção regional, no que tange a busca incessante pelas garantias entabuladas em nossa Constituição Federal e na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, com fim de que ao final seja possível compilar informações suficientes para o entendimento que houveram avanços no que tange a educação inclusiva, porém, há desafios a serem vencidos, conforme evoluímos como sociedade organizada.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF MILITANCY AND MILITARY OPERATIONS ON THE SOCIO-POLITICAL MILIEU OF ERSTWHILE FATA
Authors: Tahir Marwat,Prof. Dr. Rabia Akhtar
Published: September 2023

The former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan maintained a unique cultural and traditional identity, playing a crucial role in nurturing peace and stability within the region. However, the region’s tranquility was disrupted by two significant events in neighboring Afghanistan. First, the Soviet military invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 led to the rise of religious fundamentalism. Second, the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 saw the disintegration of social and political structures relevant to the tribal society which was exacerbated by the region’s geographical proximity and ethnic similarity to neighboring Afghanistan. The emergence of militant groups in FATA following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan received a substantial response from the Pakistan Army and led to military operations in both the Frontier Regions (FRs) and FATA. These militant groups were able to spread their networks across the region, recruiting significant numbers of local people to their ranks and causing widespread devastation to military installations, mosques, and schools, amongst other key locations. This paper examines the impacts of these political and military events on the socio cultural dynamics of FATA, and the resulting effect on its traditional tribal structure. The paper utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach, incorporating analysis of official government and media reports, experts’ interviews, and independent research on the ground. This research comprehensively explores the impact of religious extremism, ethnic conflicts, and military operations on the socio-political dynamics of the traditional tribal society of FATA. Ultimately, this research provides a deeper understanding of the drivers behind the insurgency and conflict that have characterized this region and support efforts toward peace-building and conflict resolution.

Authors: Salaudeen Maryam Adenike , Sadiq Salamatu Onini , Magaji Mohammad Garba
Published: September 2023

Background and Purpose: Tradomal® is an herbal preparation containing Senna siamea that is marketed for the treatment of malaria in Northern Nigeria. The study evaluated the acute and reproductive toxicity of freeze-dried and steam-dried extracts of Tradomal® in Drosophila melanogaster.

Methods: The acute toxic effect of the plant was evaluated by determining its LC50. The reproductive toxicity of the extracts was evaluated via its effect on the eclosion of adult melanogaster flies.

Results: Both steam-dried and freeze-dried extracts of Tradomal® showed LC50 of 2767.83 mg/10 g and 4475.74 mg/10 g of meal respectively. Although the steam-dried extract did not affect fly eclosion, the freeze-dried extract significantly (P<0.05) inhibited the emergence of adult flies from the pupae.

Conclusion: The extracts are relatively safe, but the method of drying can influence their effects on reproduction in fruit flies.

Published: September 2023

Proper disposal of treated water sludge is one of the main challenges water treatment Plants are facing globally. This entails disposing of sludge in such a way that it will not be harmful to the environment due to the chemicals used during the treatment of the water. The disposal of sludge conditioned by chemical polymers has an adverse effect on health and the environment. The use of natural polymers (such as wool polymer) has been explored to reduce adverse effects that come from chemical polymers (polyurethane). Elemental compositions of Moringa Oleifera were distinctive using ultimate analysis, proximate Analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray fluoresce. Characterization was done to examine the composition, functional characteristics, and physico-chemical properties of moringa oleifera . The proximate result showed that Moringa oleifera contains 36.34% of crude lipids, 3.78% of moisture,4.08% of Ash, 4.70% of crude fibre, 29.56% of crude protein, and 21.54% of carbohydrate. The ultimate result showed that carbon contains 45.86% and hydrogen has 1.96%. FTIR Spectrum of Moringa Oleifera showed C≡N(carbon-nitrogen) C=N and S-S (Sulphur-Sulphur) stretching bond. FT-IR spectra showed the presence of protein and lipids components. The FTIR Spectrum of the dry sludge showed many vibrations indicating some functional groups like N-H in Amides, alcohols and amines O-H, (Oxygen-hydrogen) C≡C bond C=N, C-H(Carbon -Hydrogen)O-CH3, P-N-C, C-H in aldehydes and acids C=O in Carboxylic acids, and S-S bond ED-XRF showed the elemental composition of Moringa Oleifera; 0.018% Fe, 0.001% Cu, 0.003% Al 9.00%, 0.038% Mg etc. and that of the dry sludge as 9.22%, Fe2O3, 0.572% CuO, 9.63% Aluminum oxide, 29.96% Silicon Oxide, 2.57% magnesium oxide. Turbidity of the treated sample was reduced to the level of Nigerian standard (5NTU). Moringa Oleifera was discovered to be a viable and affordable alternative for conditioning of water treatment sludge.

Published: September 2023

В статье проведен анализ норм российского уголовно-правового и уголовно-процессуального законода-тельства на предмет соблюдения гарантий восстановления социальной справедливости, исправления осужден-ного и предупреждения совершения преступлений другими лицами. Автор ставит под сомнение единство со-вокупности мер, направленных на достижение целей наказания. Уголовно-правовое воздействие представляется одним из видов государственного принуждения, но не является исключительным качеством рассматриваемого явления. Сделан вывод о том, что мера уголовно-правового воздействия это относительно самостоятельное средство выражения уголовно-правового реагирования на совершение общественно опасного деяния, об-ладающее индивидуально определенной совокупностью ограничений прав и свобод личности.

The article analyzes the norms of the Russian criminal law and criminal procedure legislation in terms of compliance with the guarantees of restoring social justice, correcting the convict and preventing the commission of crimes by other persons. The author questions the unity of the set of measures aimed at achieving the goals of punishment. The criminal legal impact seems to be one of the types of state coercion, but is not an exclusive quality of the phenomenon under consideration. It is concluded that the measure of criminal legal impact is a relatively independent means of expressing a criminal legal response to the commission of a socially dangerous act, which has an individually defined set of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of the individual.

Технологии экстракорпорального оплодотворения (ЭКО) имеют большой потенциал в сохранении исчезающих видов. В настоящем исследовании был проведен эксперимент по ЭКО, чтобы оценить, подходят ли репродуктивные технологии для казахского белоголового скота с целью сохранения этой породы, популяция которой резко сократилась за последние тридцать лет. Репродуктивные характеристики казахских белоголовых коров сравнивались с коровами породы Ангус Аберден. Были проведены сеансы трансвагинального ультразвукового забора яйцеклеток с последующим получением эмбрионов in-vitro, переносом эмбрионов и диагностикой беременности. От пятидесяти животных-доноров казахской белоголовой породы было аспирировано 2585 ооцитов после шести сеансов забора яйцеклеток. Тысяча восемьсот семьдесят шесть (72,5%) ооцитов были отобраны для созревания и в дальнейшем оплодотворены. На четвертый день после оплодотворения количество расщепленных эмбрионов составило 720 (38,3% от оплодотворенных ооцитов). Из этих расщепленных эмбрионов 56 (7,5%) развились до стадии поздней морулы/бластоцисты на седьмой день после оплодотворения, в среднем 1,12 эмбриона на одно животное-донора. Беременность была обнаружена у 12 реципиентов; 4 здоровых. На сегодняшний день родилось 4 здоровых телят. Результаты нашего исследования показали эффективность репродуктивных технологий в сохранении исчезающего казахского белоголового скота. Результаты данного отчета расширят знания о репродуктивных характеристиках домашних животных, находящихся под угрозой исчезновения, и помогут разработать сложные репродуктивные протоколы для животных с уникальными репродуктивными механизмами.

Иксодовые клещи являются переносчиками многих инфекционных и инвазионных болезней. Территория Кызылординской области является эндемичной по нескольким из них: вирусные (Крым-Конго геморрагическая лихорадка), бактериальные (туляремия) и кровепаразитарные (тейлериоз, пироплазмоз). Возбудителей этих заболеваний клещи способны длительное время сохранять в организме и передавать через потомство (трансовариально и трансфазово). До настоящего времени на территории области одними из слабо изученных переносчиков трансмиссивных болезней человека и животных оставались клещи рода Dermacentor. В массе, обитая в природных очагах особо опасных инфекций, клещи этого рода вовлекаются в эпизоотический процесс в качестве переносчиков и резервуаров возбудителей этих болезней. На территории Кызылординской области с 2012 проводятся плановые исследования диких и домашних животных, а также окрестности населенных пунктов на наличие этих эктопаразитов и переносимых ими возбудителей заболеваний. В ходе исследований отмечены два вида клещей этого рода. Приведены основные отличительные морфологические признаки и биологические особенности имаго Dermacentor niveus и D. marginatus паразитирующих на домашних животных, а также их эпидемиологическое и эпизоотологическое значение. Отмечено, что Dermacentor niveus широко распространен в Кызылординской области и в весенний период поражает больше видов животных, несколько меньше осенью, то есть активность имаго клещей приходится на март-апрель и сентябрь-октябрь. Клещи собраны, на домашних животных и на пастбищах, в окрестностях населенных пунктов. Численность клещей этого вида высокая и встречаемость на животных в весенний период может достигать 100%, а обилие – 30 экз. D. marginatus встречается редко, в единичных экземплярах, только в юго-восточной части области (Щиелийский и Жанакорганский районы).
Pragmatic Acts in the Language of Alms Begging in Southwest Nigeria

Published: September 2023

The meaning of language is tied to the context where it is used. This study examines the different pragmatic acts performed by beggars across Southwest Nigeria while soliciting alms. The aim is to establish the role of language as a tool in perpetuating this age-long profession of soliciting alms from members of society. The study employs Jacob Mey’s Pragmatic Act theory as its theoretical springboard while data for the study was obtained by closely observing the activities of the subjects across selected locations within the study area. This is done with the consent of the subjects. The study discovered beggars often employ nine pragmatic goals in achieving their objective, that is, soliciting, hailing, praying, directing, informing, assuring, requesting, pleading and inquiring, with the pragmatic goal of pleading to account for the highest percentage of the occurrence. The study also identified a linguistic adaptation where the research subjects conform to the situational context in their linguistic choices, including a manifestation of shared situational knowledge between the research subjects and their addressees.
University-Industry Collaboration in Project-Based Learning: Perspective and Motivation of Industry Partners

Extant research has examined the essence of university-industry partnership from the university’s perspective. However, little is known about managing such partnership from an industry partner’s perspective. Understanding industry partner’s perspective is important as it may help the university to better manage the collaboration process, while keeping the focus on providing students with a positive project-based learning (PBL) experience. This study surveyed 33 industry partners to examine university-industry partnerships in a PBL setting from an industry partner’s perspective. The results show that project output needs to cater to the actual need, requirement, and expectation of the industry partner. Also, there must be efficient communication between industry partners, academics, and students for the collaboration to be successful. By understanding how to manage such university-industry partnership from the perspectives of industry partners, it would help universities to improve the PBL pedagogy in their curriculum. Also, companies may learn to better work with students and academics to generate new ideas that address their existing problems and issues.

Patient reported experience measures (PREMS) are a key part of measured quality. There is no tool currently used in the UK in Acute Medicine. On the 8th of September 2022 10 units based in England, Scotland and Wales collected data for the validated PREM, alongside the EQ-5D and variables from the Society for Acute Medicine’s Benchmarking Audit (SAMBA) dataset. 365 patients were screened, 200 were included (55%): 159 patients from AMUs and 41 from SDEC units. Overall experience of patients was rated 8.5/10, patients rated their experience of safety, trust and listening highly. Collection of PREMS was feasible. Further research is required to link experience to clinical outcome and explore tools that capture experience of patients with altered mental status.

Liquid fertilizers are widely used for fertilizing in- and outdoor vegetation. Despite the easy accessibility and widespread use, serious intoxications are rare. This case report describes a 61-year-old woman who was treated for life-threatening hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis and ECG changes after intentional ingestion of liquid fertilizer. Our case shows that intake of liquid fertilizer, though infrequent, can cause serious, life threatening complications.

The Bismarck model is a great model that has been used in other countries as a reference. It provides coverage for all, and it is a more-simple model than the American healthcare system. Coverage is required regardless of someone's income, and it has a higher life expectancy because of the early preventative care provided. The Bismarck model was implemented in 1875 and has worked for Germany and Japan. San Diego County would benefit from this Bismarck model because it has proven to have positive outcomes for its citizens. The objective of this paper is to implement the Bismarck model in San Diego County.
