Authors: Barja-Ore John , Chavesta Jhonny Jesus Chafloque , Pastuso Pamela Leon , Espinoza-Carhuancho Fran , Mayta-Tovalino Frank
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

Maternal death generates a great impact on public health, and it is recognized that its main cause is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Therefore, the objective was to analyze the bibliometric profile of the world scientific production on maternal mortality due to PPH.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Bibliometric study that included original articles indexed in Scopus, identified by means of a search strategy that included MESH terms and logical operators. Bibliometric indicators were estimated with the SciVal tool, and the VOSwiever program was used for co-occurrence networks by key terms and co-authorship by country.

RESULTS:

There has been an increase in the number of publications in the past 5 years. Regarding co-occurrence, the most frequent terms were “postpartum hemorrhage” and “maternal mortality.” The United States and the United Kingdom are positioned as those with the highest density of publications; in addition, Australia evidences collaboration with Canada and South Korea. Publications with national collaboration were more frequent (36%). BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth is the most productive journal, although BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a higher normalized impact. The authors with the highest scientific output belong to an institution in the Netherlands. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Leiden University are the most productive.

CONCLUSION:

Scientific activity on maternal mortality due to PPH is increasing and its main means of dissemination are high-impact journals. National collaboration was more frequent, with the active participation of authors and institutions from the Netherlands and the United States.
Cytotoxicity of Dimethyl Sulfoxide on Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells at Different Temperatures
Authors: Hristova Svetlana H. , Zhivkov Alexandar M.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, a small strongly polarized amphiphilic molecule) is used as a cryoprotector due to its possibility to easily penetrate cell membranes and to form strong H-bonds with water molecules, preventing by that arising of aqueous crystals.

AIMS:

We have investigated the vitality of hematopoietic stem cells after incubation at +4°C, +20°C and +37°C for 30 min, 60 min and 24 h in cryoprotective solution with 5% DMSO, and also after deep-freezing at –80°C and subsequent storage for 24 hours at –20°C and +4°C.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The vitality was evaluated counting the number of alive (uncoloured) and dead stem cells (blue coloured) using a staining test with Trypan blue dye.

RESULTS:

The obtained results disclose that DMSO has a cytotoxic effect which depends on the temperature and the time of cultivation: the cytotoxicity is insignificant at +4°C even for 24 hours; at +37°C about 90% cells remain vital for 1 hour, however after 24 hours they completely die out.

CONCLUSION:

Comparing the non-frozen cells with the deep-frozen at –80°C and subsequently defrozen cells in identical conditions (24 hours storage at +4°C) reveals that the freezing process causes an additional delayed damaging effect, which leads to death of half of the stem cells..
Causes and Management of Tongue Bite in Primary Care
Authors: Chowdhary Tina , Kumar Raman
Published: December 2023

Tongue bite typically refers to an injury to the tongue caused by accidental biting. While it may not be a severe medical emergency, it can cause discomfort and pain. Tongue biting can occur for various reasons, and it is often an accidental and involuntary action. While many tongue bites are minor and can be managed at home, severe or recurrent cases may require a visit to a healthcare professional or dentist for further evaluation. Depending upon the severity of injury, treatment may require first aid to hospital care. In family practice, primary care providers may encounter patients who present with complaints related to tongue bites. Majority of the tongue bite cases can be managed in the community setting itself, however few may require referrals those with severe injury and associated comorbidities such as seizure. Taking preventive measures can help reduce the likelihood of future incidents. Paying attention to situations or habits that may contribute to tongue biting, such as stress, nervous habits, or certain dental issues may be advised to the patients.

Authors: Bhiwal Anil Kumar , Chhabra Alka , Meena Reena , Mandot Purva , Rathore Neha , Chahar Sheetal
Published: December 2023

Background and Aims:

Emergence agitation (EA) is a common condition that occurs during early phase of general anesthesia (GA) recovery. Increased risk of EA is found among ear, nose, and throat procedures and it has been an independent risk factor. The aim of the study is to identify the incidence and risk factors of EA following nasal surgeries.

Methods:

This prospective observational study was performed on 68 patients aged 18–70 years of either sex and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Grade I-III who underwent GA for elective nasal surgery. The data were collected including age, gender, ASA physical status, pain, duration of surgery, preoperative anxiety level, extubation time, smoking, associated comorbidity, and preoperative use of benzodiazepine. Postoperatively, patients were assessed for emergence delirium by Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale, complications, and pharmacological treatment for EA. The data were analyzed by Student’s t-test, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression test.

Results:

The incidence of EA was found to be 27.5% (19 patients). EA was found to be significantly associated with preoperative Visual Anxiety Score (P = 0.001), postoperative pain (P = 0.046), male gender (P = 0.015), premedication with benzodiazepine (P = 0.022), ASA physical status (P = 0.0002), and hypertension (P = 0.022). Immediate postoperative complications such as cough, desaturation, laryngospasm, breath holding, and nasal bleeding were found to be statistically significant (P = 0.01) in patients with EA.

Conclusion:

EA is common after nasal surgery under GA and better understanding of potential risks and precipitating factors along with sufficient postoperative pain management may be useful to reduce EA occurrence and consequent postoperative complications.

Published: December 2023

PurposeThe incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EoCRC) is increasing worldwide. The association between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and EoCRC risk remains unclear.Materials and MethodsWe conducted a nationwide cohort study of 3,340,635 individuals aged 20-49 years who underwent health checkups between 2009 and 2011 under the Korean National Health Insurance Service. HTG was defined as serum triglyceride (TG) level ≥ 150 mg/dL. According to the change in TG status, participants were categorized into persistent normotriglyceridemia (NTG; group 1), NTG to HTG (group 2), HTG to NTG (group 3), and persistent HTG (group 4) groups. The EoCRC incidence was followed up until 2019.ResultsIn total, 7,492 EoCRC cases developed after a mean of 6.05 years of follow-up. Group 4 had the highest risk of EoCRC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.097; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.025 to 1.174). While the risk of rectal cancer was significantly increased in groups 3 and 4 (aHR [95% CI], 1.236 [1.076 to 1.419] and 1.175 [1.042-1.325], respectively), no significant risk differences were observed in right colon cancer. In group 4, male sex and diabetes were associated with a further increased risk of EoCRC (aHR [95% CI], 1.149 [1.082 to 1.221] and 1.409 [1.169 to 1.699], respectively). In addition, there was a dose-response relationship between serum TG levels and the risk of EoCRC (p for trends < 0.0001).ConclusionPersistent HTG increased the risk of EoCRC, which was significantly higher only for rectal cancer and marginally higher for other colonic subsites.
Hodge modules and cobordism classes
Authors: Fernández de Bobadilla Javier , Pallarés Irma , Saito Morihiko
Published: December 2023

We show that the cobordism class of a polarization of Hodge module defines a natural transformation from the Grothendieck group of Hodge modules to the cobordism group of self-dual bounded complexes with real coefficients and constructible cohomology sheaves in a compatible way with push-forward by proper morphisms. This implies a new proof of the well-definedness of the natural transformation from the Grothendieck group of varieties over a given variety to the above cobordism group (with real coefficients). As a corollary, we get a slight extension of a conjecture of Brasselet, Schürmann and Yokura, showing that in the

{\mathbb Q}

-homologically isolated singularity case, the homology

L

-class which is the specialization of the Hirzebruch class coincides with the intersection complex

L

-class defined by Goresky, MacPherson, and others if and only if the sum of the reduced modified Euler–Hodge signatures of the stalks of the shifted intersection complex vanishes. Here Hodge signature uses a polarization of Hodge structure, and it does not seem easy to define it by a purely topological method.

The Uniate Question in Studies by Alumni of Selected Warsaw-based Universities in the Last Hundred Years. A Contribution to the History of Historiography

The article aims to review academic literature devoted to the Union of Brest and its followers, written between 1915 and 2022 by students and scholars associated with Warsaw. It includes major publications by alumni of universities and other higher education institutions in the capital of Poland, but also minor sketches (mostly unpublished) authored by Warsaw-based Greek Catholics. It explores the resurgence of scholarly interest in the Uniate question in the interwar period, its stagnation during the Polish People’s Republic, and its rekindling in the Third Polish Republic. It dwells on the realization that the authors’ viewpoint and the science policy of their employers – be it the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church or the Communist Party – was the determining factor in the works’ ideological skew. Another trend observed in the late 20th c. was that the religious affiliation of researchers and writers had lost its former significance mainly due to increasing privatization of religion.

Aleksandra Branicka’s Palace in Zinkivtsi according to Historical Plans and Maps

In 1796, Tsarina Catherine II dissolved the estates of the Kamieniec bishops. She bestowed the town of Zinkivtsi (Zinkowce), located adjacent to Kamieniec Podolski, upon Aleksandra Branicka. In the early 19th c., she was to commission an impressive neoclassical palace with a sprawling park spanning several hectares. The property was to be sold to Józef Bietkowski around 1850. However, a comprehensive analysis of eleven 18th- and 19th-century maps of the vicinity of Kamenets Podolski denies the creation of such an estate in Zinkivtsi. Furthermore, the copious published materials and archives related to the Branicki family, along with the comparatively sparse historical records of the Bietkowskis, fail to confirm the presence of the palace and park complex in Zinkivtsi.

Authors: Kim Sung-hwan , Yoon Hongsik , Min Taijin , Han Bangwoo , Lim Sungil , Park Joonwoo
Published: December 2023

The market for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) is growing rapidly, the demand for lithium (Li) in the form of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), which is the most common lithium mineralization form, is therefore also increasing significantly. Li is conventionally extracted as Li2CO3 using sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) to precipitate Li ions in an aqueous Li solution. However, Na2CO3 can also be replaced by CO2, which highlights the potential of using CO2 as a sustainable and economically viable alternative. This review focuses on technologies that utilize CO2 for Li2CO2 precipitation. First, the use of CO2 gas and Na2CO3 as carbonate sources are compared, and the need to consider important operating conditions with CO2 bubbling are then presented. Attempts made to increase the specific surface area of the reaction surface to enhance the utilization of CO2 gas and to produce micro-sized Li2CO3 powders are then reported, and the limitations associated with CO2 gas utilization are discussed. Although CO2 precipitation has limitations in terms of efficiency, scalability, and the fine-tuning of reaction conditions, this review shows that if CO2 precipitation technology is further developed, its use could be key to extracting and recycling next-generation Li.
The multidimensional role of the principal in post-apartheid-South-Africa
Authors: Pietersen Doniwen , Langeveldt Dean , Van Wyk Arrie
Published: December 2023

The end of apartheid in 1994 brought about radical changes in the South African education system, especially for school principals to manage their own affairs as promulgated in the South African Schools Act. These developments have changed the principal's position irrevocably. However, these changes did not result in the expected outcome in the majority of schools for a number of reasons. Teachers are frequently  unsure whether the anticipated changes will have the desired impact in schools. Moreover, principals and teachers have different views on how these changes will affect schools and their work. This paper adopts a conceptual approach that draws on various theories and concepts from the literature on school leadership and management. Understanding the challenges of the school principal's job after apartheid was the aim of the research. The Standards for School Principalship (2015) provided the theoretical framework and basis for this conceptual paper. It should be noted that principals are the most crucial persons in education since they serve as managers and major delivery agents in the educational system. They are the driving force behind improved educational outcomes in South Africa after apartheid. However, it is increasingly uncommon for principals to carry out their multifaceted tasks alone because of how significantly their positions have altered since 1994. All the parties concerned with running a school should receive training and orientation in this respect. The main findings of this paper are that, since the end of  apartheid, principals face various challenges in their role, such as lack of resources, support, autonomy, accountability, collaboration, diversity, equity, quality, innovation, and professionalism.

The aim of the research is the historical and legal characteristics of the main scientific concepts of the origin of the state. The opinions of scientists were analyzed and a conclusion was made about the variety of concepts related to the emergence and formation of the state. It was shown that the main concepts (theories) of the origin of the state include: theological, organic, patriarchal, psychological, class, violence theory, oligarchic, racial, cosmic, etc. The following methods were used in the research: analysis of biographical sources, synthesis, deduction, comparative analysis and meta-analysis, etc. It was concluded that in modern legal science there are various theories explaining the process of the emergence of the state from different positions. The list of scientific concepts we considered is not exhaustive, but with the development of legal science it can be expanded and supplemented with new content. Having considered the main theories of the origin of the state, we can come to the conclusion that it is impossible to state unequivocally which of these theories is absolutely correct. Each of the theories deserves attention and affection, each of them has its positive and rational points.

A STUDY OF XI JINPING’S SPEECHES BASED ON THEMATIC PROGRESSION PATTERN - TAKE KEYNOTE SPEECHES AT THE BELT AND ROAD FORUM FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR EXAMPLE
Authors: Yumeng Wang
Published: December 2023

The Belt and Road Initiative has opened new windows of opportunity and is of far-reaching significance. The speeches of President Xi Jinping at the two Belt and Road Forums for International Cooperation were crucial in demonstrating China's attitude. Thematic progression theory are very important for discourse analysis. Most existing studies analyze important speeches of President Xi from the perspectives of political science, sociology and translation studies, but few scholars conduct discourse analysis on them. Therefore, this paper takes Zhu Yongsheng's thematic progression theory as the theoretical framework, selects two keynote speeches that President Xi delivered at the opening ceremony of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation as the corpus, and uses quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyze the themes and thematic progression patterns in the selected corpus. Through the analysis, this study finds out what TP patterns are used in the important speeches of President Xi Jinping, how many percentages of TP patterns are in those important speeches, and how those TP patterns realize their social functions. Especially, the use of the pronoun we as the constant theme, is an exquisite design of the discourse. It realizes its own social functions.

RELATION BETWEEN REAL LABOR PRODUCTIVITY AND WAGE SHARE IN INDIA’S ORGANIZED MANUFACTURING SECTOR
Authors: Yadav Nancy
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the link between wage share in net value added and real labor productivity in India’s organized manufacturing sector. The empirical results suggest that increase in real labor productivity almost leads to one for one decline in wage share, which implies that gains of real labor productivity gains are not accruing to laborers, instead entire gains of labor productivity increase is being captured by profit earners and it is being manifested in continuously rising profit shares. The data from Annual Survey of Industries (1981-82 to 2013- 14) suggests that overtime there has been a decline in share of wages in net value added, which is matched by a corresponding increase in profit share, this regressive distribution of income has profound implications for the growth of manufacturing sector itself.
RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITION IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND INDIA
Authors: Bharadwaj Esha
Published: December 2023

Energy sources are crucial to sustain the smooth functioning of the world and its people. However, this need for energy is satisfied by fossil fuels whose combustion formulates a negative influence on the environment worldwide. This, in turn, makes a reduction in global energy consumption and climate change the most significant variables in present times. With the fast-approaching depletion of fossil fuels and a rapid growth in greenhouse gas emissions, governments throughout the world have begun developing policies and plans to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Renewable energy and technology have the potential to address these long-standing energy and environmental issues, especially in developing countries like India and The Middle East, since these countries contribute exponentially to the increasing demand for energy consumption.

Authors: Srilatha A. , Pandian A.
Published: December 2023

Electric vehicles (EVs) are being used increasingly in place of combustion engine vehicles to lessen the demand for fossil fuels and minimize pollution in the environment. Various charging techniques are being used to meet the primary concerns of EV users. Setting up the infrastructure for charging EVs is the main challenge. In the expanding EV industry, the wireless charging system (WCS) is a preferred choice. This research develops a WCS using inductively linked power transfer technology for charging electric automobiles. This paper proposes wireless power transfer by boosting the voltage using a wireless transformer. The voltage boosting control has three winding DC-DC converter with a high input class e amplifier for increasing the high-frequency transformer. The overall system performance generally acts as a high switching frequency. The wireless transformer has distanced a few meters from primary to secondary, so the output voltage transmits efficiently.

This study generally aims to examine the effectiveness of Telegram mobile application on vocabulary learning among Iranian law students. The study also specifically aims to explore the moderating effect of gender on vocabulary learning and to investigate the participants’ attitudes towards using Telegram for vocabulary learning. To achieve these aims, from among 100 law students in Islamic Azad University of Meymeh, Isfahan, Iran, 60 homogeneous students were selected based on their scores on Oxford Placement Test (OPT). A vocabulary pretest was administered to examine their level of vocabulary knowledge prior to the treatment. Then, 400 law specific words were taught to the participants within 10 weeks, two sessions of 60 minutes per week via Telegram. After the treatment, a vocabulary posttest was conducted. The findings showed that the students’ vocabulary knowledge improved and they had positive attitudes toward using Telegram mobile application based on the responses given to the questionnaire. Other findings suggest that female participants outperformed their male ones. Findings have implications for language learners and teachers as well as materials developers.
Fragments Shored Against Ruins: Defragmenting India through the Gathering Storm
Authors: Mohan Smithi
Published: December 2023

Travel between territories which exists contemporaneously is baffling in a psychogeographical sense. What had previously been considered as movement through indifferent space seems to be movement through time, into the future or into the past.  The spatial assemblages within which these figures travel each have their own temporality, a rhythm that is produced and maintained by the processes that produce and maintain the human and nonhuman elements of the territory. Therefore travel narrative manifests itself as a narrative of space and difference and consequently travel writing as a format reflects an incessant surge of new concepts, new ways of seeing and being.. In this context, I argue that such an attempt is made by Harish Nambiar in his Defragmenting India: Riding a Bullet through the Gathering Storm, a travelogue narrative of a motorbike trip of the author and his friend across various states. Written in the dramatic backdrop of the 2002 Godhra riots, it provides an account of the various fault lines of Indian society quivering in the temblors that the communal riots of Gujarat sent across the nation. The book maps the urban consciousness of India by juxtaposing lives, issues and situations of educated and the uneducated, craftsman and conservationist, teacher and businessman, daughters and drunks from small towns and non-metro cities of India. It thus succeeds in capturing the undercurrents that flow through the life of a nation, community, city, families and individuals, simultaneously cutting across narrow divisive borders.

Methods for evaluating the radiation resistance of structural materials of nuclear reactors have been developed and research is being carried out in NSC KIPT. As a part of these studies, a supercritical water convection loop with a chamber for irradiation of the tested samples by electron beam of the accelerator LU-10 (beam energy of 8…10 MeV, beam power up to 10 kW) was developed. A pyrometric system based on a DSLR camera (Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera) has been created for the remote continuous non-intrusive control of the surface temperature of the irradiation cell in the range of 350…550°С. The work presents the results of calibration and use of the developed system in the conditions of a 500-hour run of sample irradiation in the loop.

Authors: Marie Elvire Nokam Abena
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The aim of our study was to identify oral pathologies, determine their frequencies and assess the oral care needs of hemophilia patients in Cameroon.

Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to June 2021 in the approved Hemophilia Treatment Centres in Cameroon, one in the Yaounde University Teaching Hospital and the other one in the Gynaeco-obstetric and Paediatric Hospital of Douala. A survey form was used to collect data for the description of our sample. The patients’s files were useful for additional information. Mucosal, dental and periodontal conditions were described using the hygiene indices of Silness and Loë, DMFT and CPITN. The data were entered into the Google forms mask and analysed using SPSS 20.

Results: A total of 52 hemophiliac patients were included in our study, all of them males aged between 15 months and 42 years. The mean age of our sample was 14.6 years old ± 10.7. The CAO index was 1.71. 88.46% had episodes of gingivorrhagia caused by brushing. Only 21.15% had a history of dental consultations. Only 7.69% had good hygiene. The oral pathologies encountered were gingivitis 78.85% and periodontitis 1.92%.

Conclusion: In view of these results, it would be necessary to integrate regular oral care into the follow-up of haemophilia patients in order to improve their quality of life.

Perinatal Care at the Threshold of Viability—From Principles to Practice
Authors: Ho L Y
Published: December 2023

The threatened birth of an extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) and gestational age infant presents complex medical, social and ethical issues for the family and the health professionals. Improved survival may be accompanied by increased risks of chronic medical problems and neurodevelopmental disabilities. It is difficult to define “how small is too small” and to decide “how much is too much” in providing optimal management of the mother and infant when delivery takes place at the threshold of viability. An individualised prognostic strategy appears to be the most appropriate approach. Through a process of communication and value exploration between the well-meaning parents and well-intentioned physicians, the goal is to reach a consensual decision that respects parental authority and promotes physician beneficence, with the best interests of the infant placed in the centre of the analysis.

Published: December 2023

Forage pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an annual legume forage crop grown in various regions of Türkiye. It is high in protein, carbohydrate, and digestible matter and contains minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins A and D. Salinity stress is an important problem in the cultivation of forage peas. Salinity reduces the osmotic potential of soil solutes, making it difficult for the roots to absorb the water. This study aimed to determine some parameters of two registered forage pea cultivars at different concentrations of two salt types. The effects of these salts on the morphological characteristics and biochemical components of two different registered cultivars of pea, cv. Ateş and cv. Töre were investigated in the present study. The trials were conducted in pots and Na2SO4 and CaCl2 were applied at concentrations of 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM. As a result of the trials, the morphological characteristics like fresh and dry weights and lengths of roots and shoots were investigated along with the biochemical properties like total antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The study was performed in 2 replicates to determine the effect of different salt types and concentrations. The critical salt concentration values for the change in shoot and root fresh weight among morphological traits were determined as 100 and 150 mM for secondary metabolites. While the cv. Töre forage pea showed the highest salt resistance in shoot and root fresh weights in the presence of Na2SO4 the cv. Ateş forage pea showed the lowest salt resistance in the presence of CaCl2. In terms of shoot and root dry weights, the cv. Töre forage pea showed the least resistance at 50 mM Na2SO4 concentration. As for plant length, the cv. Ateş forage pea cultivar showed the least resistance in shoot length at 150 mM CaCl2 concentration, while it showed the highest resistance in root length at this value. The highest total antioxidant activity for the cv. Ateş forage pea and the highest total phenolic content for the cv. Töre forage pea were determined at 150 mM CaCl2 concentration. The lowest total phenolic content value was estimated in the cv. Töre forage pea cultivar at 150 mM Na2SO4 salt concentration.
