Authors: Thiagarajan Anuradha , Aziz Noor Azah , Tan Chai-Eng , Muhammad Noor Azimah
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Migraine is the most common headache affecting young people that impairs their functional ability. This study aimed to determine the frequency of migraines among Malaysian medical students, the association between migraines, stress level, and functional disability among these students, and describe their self-management practices.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students in a private medical school in Penang state. All medical students in the study site were screened for the presence of headache symptoms and the diagnosis of migraine using a self-administered questionnaire comprising International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria. Other domains that were assessed were perceived stress level and functional disability, which were measured using the
Perceived Stress Scale and the Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), respectively. The students’ self-management practices for their headaches were determined using a descriptive survey.
Results: A total of 374 medical students participated in this study and 157 (42%) students reported experiencing headaches. More than half (n=97, 61.8%) of those with headaches fulfilled the IHS criteria for migraines. Migraines were significantly associated with functional disability compared with non-migraine headaches (p<0.001); however, no significant difference in stress levels were reported between the two groups. During migraine attacks, sleep (n=73, 60.33%) and self-medication (n=56, 69.14%) were the most common self-management practices. Only 11.46% of the 157 students with headaches consulted a doctor.
Conclusion: A high proportion of medical students suffered from headaches and more than half of them had migraines. Migraine headaches were associated with significant functional disability. Very few students sought medical consultation and most students chose to self-manage their headaches.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: With an increasing life expectancy and proportion of older adults, the number of people in need of care services is also increasing. This study aimed to determine and describe various available care services for older persons reported in literature.
Methods: English-language articles published between the years of 1990 and 2018 in Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases or search engines were reviewed. The search resulted in 46,927 articles. All selected studies were systematically evaluated and screened based on title, abstract, and full text related to the study’s objective. Finally, 246 articles were included in the study. The care services in older persons care systems were identified from the selected articles and were presented in extraction tables. Final conclusions were made based on the types of services
provided and their frequency of citation.
Results: The research results showed that numerous systems exist to provide care services for older adults, including long-term care services, home care services, housing for the aged, day care centres, senior centres, nursing homes, and hospice care services. Regarding older adults’ care needs and the objectives and missions of each care system, different care services, such as personal care, social support services, medical care services, and nutrition services, have been identified in the service packages.
Conclusion: This study describes the diverse care services available for older persons that have been reported in the literature. Further research in different healthcare systems is required regarding what is most essential and lacking in each setting.

Introduction: The use of assessment tools to measure postnatal mental illness is essential in healthcare settings. However, variations in the types of tools and their reliability in a particular population lead to under-recognition of mental health status in postnatal mothers. The aim of this review is to evaluate the most recent 10 year of research on the validity and reliability of postnatal mental illness assessment tools.
Methods: A literature search of studies from online databases PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct was conducted.
Results: A total of 59 studies were selected for this review. Several studies utilised multiple assessment tools, and a total of 96 assessment tools were identified and classified into six domains: postnatal blues, postnatal stress, postnatal anxiety, postnatal depression, postnatal psychosis, and postnatal psychological disorder. In this review, EPDS was the most common tool used to identify postnatal depression and anxiety while DASS 21 was the most common tool used to identify postnatal psychological disorder. There is a wide range in preponderance of evidence for the reliability of each assessment tool and there were inconsistencies in assessing the validity of the assessment tools.
Conclusion: This review provides information regarding some of the main assessment tools currently available to measure postnatal mental illnesses. There were no standardised tools that were used in a particular setting. The results may differ in different population because there are differences in not only languages and dialects, but also cultural and racial backgrounds, which greatly influences their perception and interpretation of postnatal mental illness.

Attendance Matters! Supporting First Year Students’ Success with a Structured Attendance Policy
Authors: Comeford Lorrie
Published: July 2022

This work reports the effect of a revised attendance policy on attendance and course outcomes for two populations of students:  introductory general chemistry students and upper-level chemistry majors.  Initially, the attendance policy highlighted students’ responsibility for the material covered in class. This was changed to a policy with a specified reduction in the course average for excessive absences.  Attendance and final exam scores were tabulated for each group. Implementation of the new policy increased attendance and final exam scores for introductory students, but it had no effect on attendance and final exam scores for upper-level majors. This result suggests that introductory students would benefit from course policies with specific expectations for attendance.
Las sociedades agrarias de transformación como entidades de la economía social y vectores del desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Gómez Santos María
Published: July 2022

Las Sociedades Agrarias de Transformación (SAT) son fórmulas asociativas caracterizadas por la sencillez de su constitución, la flexibilidad de su régimen jurídico o la ausencia de un capital mínimo obligatorio. Fórmulas cercanas a otras tipologías de la economía social más conocidas, como las cooperativas, pero que, en función de su diseño estatutario, pueden convertirse en estructuras muy distantes.
Expuesto lo anterior, el objeto del presente trabajo se centrará en abordar tres cuestiones. La primera, ofrecer una panorámica general sobre las SAT, desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad. En segundo lugar, se analizará su calificación jurídica como entidad propia de la economía social, centrándonos en la problemática suscitada en torno a la misma (si, automáticamente, la SAT ha de ser catalogada como tal). La tercera cuestión a examinar será la conexión entre las SAT y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) contemplados en la Agenda 2030.
Bank Supervision and Administrative Law
Authors: Daniel K. Tarullo
Published: July 2022

This Article presents a systematic consideration of how administrative law doctrines apply to banking supervision, an unusual form of administrative practice that rests on an iterative relationship between banks and supervisors. First, it describes the rationales for, and process of, bank supervision. Second, this Article uses recent administrative law arguments lodged by banking interests against key supervisory practices as the springboard for an analysis of why our largely “trans-substantive” administrative law can be problematic in the context of specific mandates given by Congress to administrative agencies. It argues that courts considering how administrative law doctrine applies to agency practices must contemplate more fully the substantive law the underpins the mission and organization of the agency. When these statutory provisions are taken appropriately into account, arguments that supervisory practices are consistent with administrative law requirements are substantially strengthened. Third, this Article demonstrates how even a more tailored application of contemporary administrative law doctrines would miss a critical feature of banking supervision—that it is premised on an ongoing relationship between banks and supervisors. Judicial review of agency action usually focuses on discrete agency actions, thereby eliding this critical fact. As a result, administrative law doctrines such as the “practically binding” test for agency guidance are peculiarly inapposite. Lastly, this Article offers a tentative proposal for shifting the administrative law review of supervisory actions to focus on how banking agency processes manage the iterative nature of the supervisory relationship.

Published: July 2022

Capillary tubes have been widely used as expansion devices in small-scale refrigeration and heat-pump systems. However, adiabatic flow through a capillary tube is extremely complicated, despite its simple geometry. This work presents a comparative study on the homogenous flow model and separated flow model, which were used to simulate the flow of isobutene (R600a) through adiabatic capillary tubes. The influence of different combinations of friction factor and two-phase viscosity correlations, and the effect of metastable flow on the flow characteristics were investigated. The predicted mass flow rate was lower when the separated flow model was used. The separated flow model performed better in predicting a mass flow rate over 2 kg·h−1. The Colebrook friction factor correlation combined with the Dukler or McAdams viscosity correlation yielded smaller deviations of 5.43%, 5.49% and 5.44%, 5.43% when ignoring and considering the metastable flow, respectively. Additionally, the homogenous flow model adopting the Bittle and Pate friction factor and Dukler viscosity correlations achieved the highest accuracy with a mass flow rate under 2 kg·h−1. The mean error was 4.12% in the case without metastable flow, and 3.37% in the case with metastable flow.
Enhancing the energy potential of food waste digestate via catalytic co-hydrothermal treatment: The pyrolysis and combustion performance of hydrochar
Authors: Zhu Xiefei , Luo Zejun ,   Department of Thermal Science and Energy Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230027, China
Published: July 2022

Catalytic hydrothermal treatment is considered one of the most promising technologies for recovering energy from carbonaceous wastes. In so doing, it facilitates the realization of waste-to-energy and resource utilization efforts. In this study, hydrochar was prepared from food waste digestate and wood waste via catalytic co-hydrothermal treatment using potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) as alkali catalysts. Based on the physicochemical properties of hydrochar, including proximate analysis, element distribution, high heating value (HHV), surface functional groups, and morphology, the gaseous products of pyrolysis and the combustion performance of hydrochar were further investigated using TG-FTIR-MS and TG-DSC, respectively. In addition, the hydrochar combustion kinetics and thermodynamics were probed. Specifically, the hydrochar obtained from Na2CO3 catalysis (HC-Na) demonstrated a higher heating value (26.85 MJ·kg−1) with higher calcium retention, while the hydrochar obtained from K2CO3 catalysis (HC-K) had a greater number of functional groups and larger carbon content. Moreover, the pyrolysis gaseous products of hydrochar were rich in hydrocarbons. HC-K exhibited better comprehensive combustion performance with the activation energy (Ea) values of 79.32 kJ·mol−1 and 67.91 kJ·mol−1 using the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods, respectively. These results provide a prospect for enhancing the comprehensive utilization of carbonaceous solid waste through catalytic co-hydrothermal treatment.

Authors: Khan Salal , Rani Tara , Falak Sana
Published: July 2022

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and its associated factors among diabetic patients at Goyal Eye Institute, New Delhi.
Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among diabetic patients. A total of 345 (mean age: 47±2.53 years) participants- male=192 & female=153, were enrolled in this study. They were selected through systematic sampling procedure. Explanatory data were extracted from medical records and interviews. Blood pressure (BP), Blood sugar, weight, height, and visual acuity and refraction tests were assessed. Retinal examination was performed with a Forus (3nethra) fundus camera. All the collected data was processed and analysed by Chi-square test in SPSS version 21.
Results: It was found that out of 345 subjects, 86 (24.9%) had Diabetic retinopathy (DR). Among the diabetic retinopathy patients, 68.4% had the pre-proliferative type. Five in ten (46.3%) of the patients had visual acuity problems and showing DR symptoms. Poor glycemic control (95% CI 1.46–2.41), > 10 years’ diabetes duration (95% CI 1.68–3.64), >20 years’ diabetes duration (95% CI 1.88–2.72), body-mass index >25 kg/m2 (95% CI 1.32–3.54), and hypertension (95% CI 1.44–2.62), smoking (95% CI 1.93-2.58) were factors significantly associated with diabetic retinopathy. All factors mentioned were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05) with the Pearson Chi-square in SPSS version 21.
Conclusion: This study shows about a-fifth of diabetic patients had diabetic retinopathy. Risk factors of Diabetic retinopathy were significantly associated with poor glycemic control, hypertension, body-mass index (obesity), and duration or onset of illness. Routine blood sugar assessment as well as eye examination and early control of those associated factors may be important in reducing both the prevalence and impact of diabetic retinopathy.

A Non-Surgical Treatment of Class III Malocclusions: An Alternative Treatment Option
Authors: S. Dr. Ruchira
Published: July 2022

Class III malocclusions are the least common type of malocclusions, yet they are often more complicated to treat and more likely to require orthognathic surgery for optimal correction followed by orthodontics. 1 Treating such cases becomes much more challenging when the patient rejects surgery due to fear, cost, or aesthetic concerns. With adequate knowledge and technical acumen regarding suitability for treating class III cases with non-surgical treatment, this alternative treatment option could be used to achieve faster results with prominent dento-facial manipulations. This case report describes a class III crossbite case treated using an innovative non-surgical treatment method using Carrier Class III Motion Appliance.

Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome with Self-harming and Choreoathetosis after Improvement of Hyperuricemia: a case report
Authors: 石田 哲朗 , Murayama Tomonori
Published: July 2022

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is an inborn error of metabolism. Choreoathetosis, mental retardation and self-harming are the three symptoms. A genetic test that analyses the gene encoding hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and blood tests showing hyperuricaemia support the diagnosis. However, the relevance of these test results to clinical symptoms is unclear. A 25 years-old man consulted our hospital for self-injury and choreoathetosis. He had epilepsy and mental retardation. He was also suffering from hyperuricemia and was prescribed allopurinol. These symptoms appeared with the improvement of hyperuricemia. He was suspected to have LNS. Metabolomic analysis of his urine before and after the allopurinol loading test was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using dry filter paper urine samples as samples. The results showed that he was LNS.This case suggests that LNS is a condition that causes epileptic seizures and that rapid fluctuations in uric acid levels can cause choreoathetosis and self-harming. GC/MS using dry filter paper urine samples was a simple and valid test. This report also shows that genetic diagnosis opportunities are available to patients who have difficulty attending hospitals with advanced genetic analysis systems in urban areas.

Published: July 2022

Here, we investigate a particular group of migrant and refugee women in different family configurations and residents of the cities of Joinville, state of Santa Catarina, and Curitiba, state of Paraná. Units of analysis in migratory processes and insertion trajectories in destination societies are taken as ties with the homeland, transnational connections, care and protection. Data collected in interviews and in field work indicate the importance of the emotional dimension in the trajectories and social practices of these immigrant women, from the society of origin to the host society. It was also observed that the emotional dimension is at the base of varied social practices from the definition of the migratory project to professional and educational choices and the maintenance or establishment of affective relationships. Finally, it is observed that the emotional dimension reinforces the social ties between migrants and their families who remain in the society of origin. In a preliminary conclusion, it is stated that the migration and local insertion processes are not limited to the individual search for better opportunities, but are related to the global chains of care and social protection, thus highlighting the role of socio-emotional dynamics.

Published: July 2022

Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying human-elephant conflicts; however, in the case of the Borneo Pygmy elephant, which has only been found in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo has not been thoroughly investigated. Recent studies shows the number of elephants killed as a result of human conflict is on the rise. This study intends to examine the relationship between visitor Wildlife Value orientation (domination and mutualism) towards Borneo Pygmy elephant risk perceptions. 401 survey data was collected from on-site visitors, and PLS-SEM analyses revealed that domination has a significant relationship with risk perception of Borneo Pygmy elephants. Mutualism, on the other hand, does not appear to be related to risk perceptions, according to the study. The findings are beneficial to policymakers in developing programmes that encourage visitors to view the endangered Borneo pygmy elephants in a more positive light, to reducing human-elephant conflicts.
Marginalisation of Bangla at University-Level Academia: An Analysis with Theory of Reasoned Action
Authors: Biswas Sukanta , Islam Md. Rakibul , Akteruzzaman Mohammad
Published: July 2022

English has been investigated and criticised over centuries for its aggressive, invasive, and dominant nature, largely formulated by the British colonial enterprise and its legacy pertinent to the language. Given the coercion on minor cultures and languages in a non-native context, the use of English in education requires a detailed examination. The study critically examines the perceived superior position (e.g., tertiary educational institutions, social status hierarchy, and job market) of English and observes that a perniciously distorted perception of this language has permeated the minds of young learners in Bangladesh. This has raised grave concerns about the decadence of perception that influences students’ consideration of pursuing a tertiary-level liberal arts degree in English. Applying the Theory of Reasoned Action framework, this study – consisting of 142 participants – has identified that students prioritise English over Bangla as a subject, regardless of their literary values. They tend to fervently encompass the English language and literature together. Such incorporation helps sustain the neo-colonial attitude towards English as a language and, this is why the native tongue Bangla fails to fascinate them, despite having one of the world’s most treasured literary traditions. The discussion concludes that the overt promotion of English's benefits in this neoliberal era impairs the Bangla departments; therefore, English serves the learners only as a medium of global communication, not as a source of rich literary narratives.

During this stage, the adolescent setup their career goals and focus on it and they make future educational plans in the field of education. Life of 21st century is full of struggles and an individual has to face many challenges. They need to take right decisions in the field of technology, science and materialistic life. It is believed that education enables the individual to earn his living. Career aspiration plays an important role in career preference. A career decision of a person affects social, mental and economic status of his/her life. It is also necessary for development of skilled manpower for society and country. Career decision is a part of overall personality development of child. Some studies show that career choice depends on family background, peer effect, interest, values, attitude and aptitude of a child. So, it is important to know how these factors affect the career decision of a child in overall development. This study was proposed to know the relation between career preference and peer pressure of 600 girl students of higher secondary school of Bilaspur, Ambikapur, Jashpur, Janjgir and Korba districts, using standardized tool Career preference scale constructed by Dr Vivek Bhargava and Rajshree Bhargava and Peer Pressure Scale developed by researcher. This study revealed that urban and rural girls significantly differ in career preference. A positive effect of peer pressure is found on career preference of girl students.
The Sale of the Unsalable in the Fiction of Mahashweta Devi

Published: July 2022

Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016) is one the foremost writers in Bengali. Devi was an ardent fighter and her weapons were fiction and her political writings. Devi’s writings are peculiarly devoid of sentimentality. She does not tug at her readers’ emotions and is rather straightforward with her approach to talking about the lived experiences of the marginalized. Women’s status in society, particularly those of marginalized ones positions are very preoccupied with the sense of submissiveness and negligence. The word ‘Marginalized’ used as the substitute of poor/ tribal/ peripheral. Marginalized women, the tribe or the poor women and the outcast or the rebellious women, do not have any ‘proper’ position and identity in society. They have similar stories uncaring pronunciation and different situations. Mahasweta Devi’s stories articulate of this unspeakable truth of women’s misery and their power of enduring and resistance. Her fiction offers an array of female’s figurative situation/ position in society as well as their materialistic use of the body for the social and economic purpose. In this paper her short stories such as, Breast-Giver, and Rudali explain the paradoxical position and representation of women in society as well as their uneven voices.

The term digital university is the need of the hour however bringing the education system easily available and accessible is a sea change in this globalized world. The digital university is the concept of implementing teaching and learning anywhere at ease. The union budget 2022-2023 proposes the establishment of a digital university. Currently, India occupies 2 digital universities with a vision of digitization of knowledge and skill with proper training in Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. But every task needs planning, execution & follow-up. But the path is bundled with ifs and but, does and don’ts, and hurdled with blockages. For an extra strong future, we need to be extra predictable, extra manageable, and extra implementable. So this study talks about risks to be covered in order to set up digital universities throughout India, how the hub & spoke model works and danger of information manipulation, and many more.
Meaning and nature of sense perception
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Kautilya Mahila TT College, Kota (Raj), India, Vijay Dr. Deepika
Published: July 2022

Human knowledge begins with the senses, that is, in the beginning man knows things through the senses. He either sees or touches the object or smells or tries to know by taste. These experiences are called sense experiences. Sense perception is only a kind of knowledge, but it is the first level of knowledge. At this stage there is not much difference between man and animal. It is through sense experience that man gradually moves towards emotion. The relation of Bhava with the sense experiences gradually deepens in the consciousness of man and from here the creation of Bhava takes place. Bhava is that level of human consciousness, which is a characteristic of man. This sense of perception contributes to the creation of a literary work.

The theme of lostness pervades Hemingway’s earlier novels and short stories. Almost all characters in his earlier novels and short stories were lost and sought escape from striving against existential destiny adopting the self-destroying style of life. In these novels and short stories, the author uses symbols and images to establish the dominant mood of lostness and nothingness. All images, references, or symbols have been associated with the dominant mood of failure, emptiness, despair, and defeat. Rain has been presented as a symbol of disaster. The images of plains make Frederic Henry more aware of war and death. Frequent references to dancing parties, sex or drink mark their ‘bad faith’ or fleeing away from their freedom or reality. Like Henry, other characters are also lost and cannot face their reality.
