La mortalidad infantil en México 2020: un análisis espacial multicausal
Authors: Núñez Medina Gerardo , Medina Pérez Patricia Catalina
Published: April 2024

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar la distribución espacial de la mortalidad infantil en áreas geográficas pequeñas y cuantificar el efecto de un conjunto de cofactores que teóricamente se asocian con el comportamiento de la mortalidad infantil, como el acceso a servicios de salud, la falta de acceso a agua en viviendas particulares habitadas, la escolaridad femenina y el tamaño de la población. Se inició con la aplicación de un análisis exploratorio de datos espaciales cuyo propósito fundamental es identificar una serie de patrones de agrupamiento espacial. La metodología utilizada comprendió el ajuste de siete modelos de regresión, seis modelos de regresión espacial que configuran tres tipos de interacción espacial endógena, exógena y de términos de error y un modelo de regresión lineal simple (que se utiliza como base de comparación). El criterio de selección para elegir el modelo que mejor ajusta los datos de mortalidad infantil fue el criterio de información de Akaike (AIC), que proporciona una medida de calidad de ajuste del modelo. Los resultados indican que el efecto directo más importante sobre el comportamiento espacial de la mortalidad infantil proviene de los años promedio de escolaridad femenina, pues el incremento promedio de un año de educación implicaría una reducción de 0.076 puntos porcentuales de la tasa de mortalidad infantil municipal. Se observan resultados similares para las variables de la carencia de acceso a agua y porcentaje de población municipal.
Cadenas globales de valor a la luz de la historia del comercio internacional: ¿disrupción o continuidad de la matriz centro-periferia?
Authors: Villarreal Julio Francisco , Villasante Calderón Nuria Carolina
Published: April 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito examinar los aparentes beneficios y efectos del libre comercio a partir de la dinámica propia del que fuera el General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) y su sucesora, la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC).       En este sentido, se intenta demostrar que las instituciones de referencia han perpetuado consistentemente las derivas que el modelo analítico “centro-periferia” históricamente denunciara en detrimento de esta última. La metodología empleada ha consistido en la revisión bibliográfica del sistema GATT y el esquema de comercio internacional de la OMC, a partir de un examen crítico de estas últimas en función de las tesis de la economía estructuralista cepalina tanto clásica como contemporánea. Los resultados del estudio señalan que el sistema multilateral comercial y las propias políticas comerciales de las naciones hegemónicas, a través del funcionamiento primero del GATT y luego de la OMC, han supuesto efectos endémicamente disvaliosos para las economías periféricas. Las implicaciones de la presente investigación sugieren la necesidad del reexamen tanto en el ámbito nacional como interregional de los términos ⎯actualmente poco equitativos⎯ que rigen el comercio internacional, y de una promoción más activa, en ambos espacios, de aquellas políticas de desarrollo que sean provechosas para los Estados económicamente desfavorecidos.

Cryptocurrencies are becoming one of the hottest topics in Indonesia's society. One of those issues concerns investors who incur financial losses as a result of investing in crypto. The facebook Prophet model, one of the forecast models, can offer a solution to this problem. The Prophet model is built using four function. These variables are trend, seasonality, holidays, and additional regressions. The Prophet model benefits from a number of advantages, one of which is its ability to generate decomposition graphs. The decomposition may give analysts more insight into the data they are analyzing. The Prophet model is used to forecast and decompose the price of a cryptocurrenciy called Solana in this study. A multiplicative model with linear function as trend function, weekly seasonality, and daily seasonality as seasonality function is the best model for Solana price forecasting and decomposition. Additionally, hyperparameters in the model are tuned so the model won’t suffer underfitting or overfitting indications. The fitted Prophet model is good at forecasting as a result of the evaluation process. As a result of the forecast and decomposition, the forecasted value and the decomposition graph of the Solana exchange rate for one hour later show that the price of Solana will remain constant.

One of the problems of archipelagic countries is the lack of maximum utilization of natural resources which has resulted in some areas being left behind. Indonesia is one of those who experience the impact of the lack of utilization of natural resources in the forestry sector. The non-optimal use of forests for planting forestry plants has made most Indonesians use their land as artificial forests, namely to plant forestry plants. Cluster analysis in this case seeks to classify provinces in Indonesia based on the type of forestry plants cultivated. The method used is hierarchical and non-hierarchical. The hierarchical method uses single linkage and complete linkage methods while the non-hierarchical method uses the K-mean method. By making comparisons between methods, the results obtained are that the single linkage method with 8 clusters is the best method for grouping provinces in Indonesia according to the types of plants cultivated. Of the 34 provinces in Indonesia, cluster 1 consists of 27 provinces, while clusters 2 to 8 each consist of only 1 province.

Authors:   School of Art and Humanities Languages, Department of Cultures and Linguistics, University of Southampton, United Kingdom, Alzahrani Mona
Published: April 2024

In SLA, the variation of motivation when learning a language is a significant research area (Kikuchi, 2015). It has been established that motivation fluctuates, and that high and low levels of motivation alternate during language learning cycles (Albalawi & Al-Hoorie, 2021; Kikuchi, 2015, 2019). This research aims to comprehend and investigate the complexity of motivation fluctuation across language learning experiences which involves demotivation and remotivation. It focuses on the language learning motivation fluctuations of female students who studied general English in Saudi Arabia for more than six years at the school level up until their first year of university at the age of nineteen. It considers the dynamic and changing nature of motivation and its context-specific nature. It explores motivation fluctuation with broad perspective considering typical and atypical, academic, and non-academic as well as internal and external factors that lead to language learners’ demotivation in English language learning and the demotivation process. It also explores how language learners get remotivated after experiencing demotivation in language learning, including factors, opportunities, and challenges. To help understand this transient nature and process, this research adopts a qualitive design and will utilize thick data captured through narrative inquiry. It aims to capture language learners’ motivation fluctuation, their loss of that motivation, as well as their regaining of it. The term "language learner" describes a person who is consciously involved in the process of acquiring, developing, or improving their skill in one or more languages that can be considered foreign or second languages and may take place in formal settings like universities and institutions or through independent study utilizing alternative resources (Littlewood, 1984).

Authors: Garrido Camilo , Sepúlveda Daniel , Zúñiga Ricardo , Cartes-Velásquez Ricardo
Published: April 2024

La inasistencia a citas dentales es un problema relevante en la atención sanitaria debido a las consecuencias negativas que implica. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar las causas de la inasistencia y las estrategias implementadas para su prevención a nivel internacional. Los factores socioeconómicos, culturales, geográficos y demográficos son identificados como las principales causas del ausentismo. Se ha observado una relación inversamente proporcional entre el nivel socioeconómico y el ausentismo, donde aquellos pacientes con mayores recursos tienden a tener una menor inasistencia. El factor socioeconómico y cultural, junto con la educación en salud oral, influyen en la preocupación y la frecuencia de los controles dentales. Se han propuesto diversas soluciones, como el recordatorio telefónico o mediante mensajes de texto (SMS), aunque su efectividad puede variar debido a la familiaridad y el acceso de los pacientes a la tecnología. Se requiere abordar este problema de manera integral y considerar diferentes enfoques para reducir la inasistencia a citas dentales.

The impact of supplementing glucose, glycine, or a combination of both in Ringer’s lactate egg yolk base extender to preserve the quality of semen from local Indonesian chickens has not been previously investigated. This study aimed to examine the potential of glucose and glycine on chicken semen stored at 5°C for 120 hours. In this study, five local roosters were used. The parameters under observation included semen volume, odor, pH levels, consistency, color, mass movement, concentration, motility, viability, abnormality, plasma membrane integrity, chromatin degeneration, and acrosomal cap integrity. This study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments groups and 10 replication, i.e. T1 (control without supplementation), T2 (50 mM glucose), T3 (60 mM glycine), and T4 (a combination of 50 mM glucose and 60 mM glycine), respectively. In result, semen volume was 0.54 ± 0.17 mL/ejaculate, a milky white color, distinctive odor, thick consistency, good mass movement (++/+++), pH of 7.37 ± 0.23, motility of 91.50 ± 2.42%, plasma membrane integrity of 96.85 ± 0.96%, abnormality at 2.88 ± 0.77%, the concentration of 3.04 ± 0.3 billion/mL, and viability of 96.47 ± 1.71%. Following storage at 5°C for 120 hours, the motility, viability, abnormality, and acrosomal cap integrity of local chicken spermatozoa significantly different (p < 0.05) between T3 and T4 compared to T1 and T2 groups. Moreover, the integrity of the plasma membrane and chromatin degeneration in treatment T3 significantly different (p < 0.05) from T1, T2, and T4 groups. In conclusion, local chickens exhibited fair quality fresh semen both in macroscopic and microscopic evaluations. Furthermore, the combination of 60 mM glycine and 50 mM glucose into local chicken semen stored at 5°C for 120 hours effectively preserved motility and viability, minimized abnormality, maintained plasma membrane integrity, minimized chromatin degeneration, and retained acrosomal integrity.

Published: April 2024

Barred loach Nemacheilus fasciatus are unable to reproduce naturally in captivity due to the lack of environmental cues and gonadal maturation occurs slower than in the wild. To optimize breeding procedures for this fish species, we determined whether hormone application via the gills was an effective process and assessed hormone dosage treatments. Oodev™ was used to induce gonadal maturation and Ovaprim™ was used to induce spawning via a topical gill approach. Multiple maturation parameters such as gonadal-somatic index (GSI) and hepatosomatic index (HSI), fecundity, and egg diameter; and spawning parameters such as latency period, egg produce, fertilization rate (FR), hatching rate (HR), survival rate (SR) were recorded and compared between the hormone dosage treatments and control treatment. Both the Oodev™ gonadal maturation induction and Ovaprim™ spawning induction were effectively applied to barred loach via topical gill application. Gonadal maturation parameters were positively correlated with dosage and all were significantly different. Fry survival rate was not different between doses. The optimal dose of Oodev™ (0.75 µL/g fish) resulted in male GSI of 5.334 ± 0.320%, female GSI of 15.501 ± 0.675%, male HSI of 0.416 ± 0.023%, female HSI of 1.670 ± 0.104%, egg fecundity 4584.20 ± 493.216 eggs, egg diameter 0.964 ± 0.0151 mm. Ovaprim™ optimal dosage (3.00 µL/g female and 1.50 µL/g male) was resulted latency period 11.05 ± 0.52 hours, egg produced 3504.83 ± 358.57, FR 96.77 ± 0.88%, HR 83.62 ± 3.78%, and SR 91.44 ± 2.53%.

In conclusion, 400 mg/kg BW of black cumin could ameliorated progesterone levels and fetal bone development in pregnant rats with organophosphate toxicity.
Early Sex Differentiation of Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch.): A Pathway to Feminization
Authors: Hidayat Rahmat , Carman Odang , Alimuddin Alimuddin
Published: April 2024

The phenomenon of sexual dimorphism in climbing perch, which shows that female fish grow faster than males, underlies the development of mono-sex culture. Female mono-sex culture is more applicable for farmers by crossing neo-male fish with normal females. The timing of sexual differentiation in climbing perch is still unknown. It is very useful in sex reversal procedures to produce neo-male climbing perch. This study revealed the time and status of climbing perch sexual differentiation. Ten samples of climbing perch from the spawning of five pairs of parents were taken from the nursery pond at 10–29 days post-hatching (dph). Samples were prepared through a histology preparation procedure. Observations of the structure and characteristics of the gonads were carried out using a light microscope and analyzed histologically. The results indicated that gonad samples aged 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 dph showed primordial germ cells surrounded by somatic tissue forming genital ridges and mitotic division. Meanwhile, the gonads begin to differentiate as ovaries found at 18 dph with the presence of oogonia and ovarian cavities. Gonads aged 20–21 dph increasingly showed single oogonia cells (size 20–37.5 µm), germ cell cysts, genital ridges, oocytes undergoing the vitellogenesis process, perinucleolar oocytes, and the formation of the ovarian cavity. Sex differentiation of climbing perch was predicted from 18–21 dph. This conclusion underlies that the sex reversal procedure in climbing perch must be carried out before 18 dph.

Published: April 2024

Trypanosoma evansi is a widespread hemoprotozoa that causes trypanosomiasis in both livestock and wildlife. One of the susceptible animals is the Sumatran elephant, which is included in the endangered species category. The infection of this parasite often develops into chronic and sub-clinical forms in elephants, therefore it may become unnoticed and hard to diagnose. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the infection of T. evansi in semi-captive Sumatran elephants in Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia, using various diagnostic tests. The prevalence of T. evansi in a total of 53 Sumatran elephants was estimated using a card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis (CATT) in 2016. A longitudinal study was later conducted in 2019 using Giemsa stained blood smear (GSBS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that 26.4% of samples (14/53) were positively detected by both CATT in 2016 and PCR in 2019, while GSBS was unable to detect the parasites in all samples. Furthermore, four individuals were confirmed to have persistent infections. This study concluded that the ability of CATT and PCR were more convincing over GSBS for the diagnosis of sub-clinical trypanosomiasis in Sumatran elephants. However, it is recommended to use a combination of CATT as a screening tool and PCR as a confirmatory test for reliable results.

Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a prevalent inherited mitral valve condition. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical manifestation of the cardiac condition MMVD in Poodles. Using ultrasonography (USG), this study examined the characteristics, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of MMVD in an 11-year-old Poodle. This case study was conducted at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, utilizing a Chison Ebit60 with an 8–12 MHz curvilinear probe. The dog was positioned in the right parasternal recumbency position, and the long axis (RPLA) and short axis (RPSA) views were obtained. In the evaluation and diagnosis, B-Mode, M-Mode, and Color Flow Doppler (CFD) modes of ultrasonography were performed. The dog presented with coughing, and the physical examination revealed a grade 3–4 murmur. Based on B-mode cardiac monitoring, sinus arrhythmia, mitral valve thickness, and prolapses indicate MMVD. Mitral regurgitation was indicated by a decrease in heart rate and an increase in the left ventricle internal dimension (LVIDd) on the M-mode. Meanwhile, CFD's representation of turbulent flow confirmed mitral regurgitation results. The rise in blood pressure confirmed the presence of hypertension. Class B2 MMVD in Poodles has consequently been diagnosed in this case.

This study aimed to analyze the microbial contamination of chicken meat and its pH value from traditional markets in Banyuwangi, East Java to ensure public health. A total of 30 raw chicken meat samples from three traditional markets were used in this study and examined for the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. E. coli and Salmonella spp. were identified using Gram staining, culturing, and biochemical tests. The Most Probable Number (MPN) method was used for coliform and E. coli. Measuring the pH value of chicken meat was carried out after purchasing the meat and 24 hours after storage at cold temperatures. The results showed coliform contamination in all samples with an average of >1100 CFU/G with E. coli contamination of 20% (6/30), exceeding the maximum recommended limit. Furthermore, the identification of Salmonella spp. in all samples showed negative results. Chicken meat pH value decreased with the length of postmortem time; immediately after purchase (0 hours), the pH value was 5.78 ± 0.26, and after 24 hours of storage, it raised 6.02 ± 0.28. In conclusion, there was high coliform contamination out of 30 raw chicken meat samples taken from some traditional markets in Banyuwangi. Furthermore, E. coli contamination was as much as 20%, and Salmonella spp. was negative.

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Moringa leaf extract (Moringa oleifera Lam.) on the diameter of Graafian follicles in female mice (Mus musculus).
Materials and Methods: This study used experimental design, employing a cohort of 24 female mice of 20-25 grams in weight, aged between 2-3 months, and in good health. These subjects were divided into three treatment groups and subjected to oral doses of Moringa leaf extract at 300 mg/kg BW, 400 mg/kg BW, and 500 mg/kg BW over a 14-day period. The study procedures involved the preparation of the experimental animals, preparation of Moringa leaf extract, treatments administration, and the preparation of histological specimens. Subsequently, the diameters of Graafian follicles within each treatment group were measured. Data analysis were performed using the ANOVA test (p <0.05) followed with the Least Significance Difference (LSD) test utilizing the IBM SPSS software.
Results: There were variations in Graafian follicle diameters across the experimental groups. The average diameters were 180.944 µm in the control group, 239.942 µm in treatment group 1, 315.006 µm in treatment group 2, and 396.650 µm in treatment group 3. This indicated that dose administration starting from 300 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg had an effect on the size of the follicle and antrum diameter. The number of granulosa cells was found to increase, as well as the size of the ovum.
Conclusion: Moringa leaf extract in different doses has a significant positive effect on increasing the diameter of the Graafian follicles in female mice.

Benefits and safety of myomectomy during cesarean section
Authors: Kusuma Anak Agung Ngurah Jaya
Published: April 2024

Uterine myoma is a tumor in the uterus that is generally benign. There are many types of uterine myomas. These tumors can grow on the outer wall of the uterus, on the uterine muscle, or it can also be on the inner wall of the uterus. The most frequent kind of uterine tumor is myoma. Uterine myoma mostly occurs in women over thirty years of age. Its prevalence ranges from 5.4% to 77%, with uterine fibroids accounting for up to 5% of pregnancies. The myomectomy procedure is an option for women who still want children but are concerned about the possibility of subsequent surgical intervention. The myomectomy cesarean section is indicated if there were complications related to the myoma in a previous pregnancy. It also avoids the possibility of repeat laparotomy for fibroid removal in the future. Myomectomy surgery should be planned based on fibroids' location, size, and quantity, using suitable imaging. Myomectomy cesarean section can be an option compared to cesarean section without myomectomy, especially if it is performed by experienced surgeons with proper hemostatic techniques and performed in tertiary-level health facilities. This study will discuss the details of the benefits and safety of myomectomy during cesarean section so that it might be considered before performing this procedure.

Authors: Sihotang Jojor , Hidayatullah Amiruddin
Published: April 2024

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) represents fatalities during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period due to complications, not external factors. Timely detection is crucial for preventing maternal deaths, necessitating integrated planning. The "Kartu Skor Poedji Rochjati" (KSPR) emerges as a vital tool for identifying high-risk pregnancies, facilitating urgent referrals to mitigate complications and enhance healthcare. A literature review on maternal mortality, risk assessment tools, and KSPR effectiveness will be conducted to address the issues. The findings are expected to highlight KSPR's pivotal role in identifying at-risk pregnant women, enabling prompt referrals, and reducing maternal mortality rates. Case studies and data analysis will enrich our understanding of the tool's impact on maternal healthcare. The apex of public health involves embracing health-conscious lifestyles, reflected in indicators like mortality and morbidity. Proactively identifying high-risk pregnancies using KSPR is a strategic step in averting maternal mortality. Leveraging KSPR allows early intervention, reducing complications and contributing to enhanced maternal health, aligning with the goal of minimizing mortality risks.

Published: April 2024

HIGHLIGHTS

Vaginal varicosities are prone to happen in pregnant women with unspecific causes and multifactorial.
The mode of delivery in a pregnant woman with vaginal varicosities is still unknown, but it is not an indication of caesarean section.

 
ABSTRACT
Objective: Vaginal varicose is a rare condition characterized by dilated veins in the labia majora, labia minora, and vagina. This case report reported a woman with vaginal varicose who experienced labor without any delivery complications.
Case Report: The patient, a 29-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 2, presented with discomfort and swelling in the vagina at 32 weeks of gestational age. Despite reaching 39 weeks of gestation, the vaginal varicosities remained stable and painless. She had no prior history of varicose veins, hypertension, blood abnormalities, malignancy, or contraception usage. Physical examination revealed mild varicosities in the labium and significantly swollen varicosities protruding toward the vaginal introitus. Interestingly, a small varicose vein was also noted on her right leg, previously unnoticed by the patient. At 39 weeks pregnant, she experienced spontaneous vaginal delivery without complications. During the third stage of labor, the vaginal varicosities decreased in size, and no rupture occurred. The newborn, a healthy baby boy weighing 2961 grams and measuring 48 cm, was delivered vaginally. Despite a second-degree perineal tear, blood loss was minimal, and no complications nor rupture arose from the varicose veins.
Conclusion: Vaginal varicosities are rare, primarily occurring in multigravida pregnant women between 12 and 26 weeks of gestation. This case highlights that cesarean section is not necessarily indicated in pregnant women with vaginal varicosities. The successful vaginal delivery in this instance resulted in no varicose vein rupture, controlled bleeding, and regression of vaginal varicosities postpartum.

HIGHLIGHTS

Extrauterine leiomyoma, including vaginal leiomyoma, is an exceedingly rare condition with complex pathogenesis and management
Clinical evaluation and high-quality imaging are required to confirm the diagnosis of vaginal tumor. If there are insufficient facilities, referrals must be made.
Operative management using vaginal approach was described for treating vaginal leiomyoma.

 
ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe the challenges of early diagnosis and appropriate management of vaginal leiomyoma in rural areas.
Case Report: A 26-year-old woman, P1A0, was referred from a rural hospital and presented a chief complaint of vaginal mass. The patient was admitted to the tertiary hospital with suspected malignant vaginal tumor and underwent a biopsy, which revealed leiomyoma on pathological examination. Despite conservative treatment, the mass continued to grow, unaffected by the menstrual cycle, causing discomfort. Following a second hospital admission, the patient underwent surgical management of extirpation and vaginal reconstruction. The microscopic finding of the tumor showed myositis cell proliferation with hyperplastic growth, monotonous nuclei, and variable cell shapes, supporting the diagnosis of vaginal leiomyoma. During postoperative monitoring, there was no vaginal bleeding. Thereafter, on the day following surgery, it was found that the right labium major was swollen. This was treated with anticoagulants, topical NSAIDs, and a sitz bath. The patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition and had an uneventful postoperative recovery.
Conclusion: Although the incidence of vaginal leiomyoma is uncommon, precise early diagnosis and appropriate management might improve outcomes, particularly in rural areas.
