Purpose: An imperative step in enhancing investment returns for watermelon producers and marketers is to comprehensively analyze the watermelon value chain. This evaluation was recently conducted in Yobe State, Nigeria, during the period spanning from July to August 2023. Research methodology: The data acquisition process involved the administration of a questionnaire that facilitated the gathering of information from 540 participants across various roles within the value chain, encompassing producers, wholesalers, and retailers operating within the study's geographic scope. Results: The findings of this investigation illuminate the prevalent utilization of urban marketing channels by watermelon marketers, and it is noteworthy that approximately half of these marketers engage in their marketing endeavors within urban markets such as Kano, Kaduna, and Abuja. Notably, the study underscores the substantial impact of transportation costs on both the pricing and net marketing returns associated with watermelons. A significant proportion of these marketers were motivated primarily by the pursuit of sustainable livelihoods, while the allure of profitability drove others. However, a critical challenge encountered in the watermelon marketing domain pertains to the accessibility of credit facilities, which affects nearly 90% of the stakeholders involved in the value chain. Additionally, other constraints exerted relatively minor effects on marketers' activities and outcomes. Limitations: This study was limited to data from 460 participants involved in various stages of the watermelon value chain in the study area from July to August 2023. Contribution: This study can aid different actors in the watermelon value chain when making investment decisions.
Predicting Lower Extremity Joint Kinematics Using Multi-Modal Data in the Lab and Outdoor Environment
Authors: Hossain Md Sanzid Bin , Guo Zhishan , Sui Ning , Choi Hwan
Published: October 2023

Predicting future walking joint kinematics is crucial for assistive device control, especially in variable walking environments. Traditional optical motion capture systems provide kinematics data but require laborious post-processing, whereas IMU based systems provide direct calculations but add delays due to data collection and algorithmic processes. Predicting future kinematics helps to compensate for these delays, enabling the system real-time. Furthermore, these predicted kinematics could serve as target trajectories for assistive devices such as exoskeletal robots and lower limb prostheses. However, given the complexity of human mobility and environmental factors, this prediction remains to be challenging. To address this challenge, we propose the Dual-ED-Attention-FAM-Net, a deep learning model utilizing two encoders, two decoders, a temporal attention module, and a feature attention module. Our model outperforms the state-of-the-art LSTM model. Specifically, for Dataset A, using IMUs and a combination of IMUs and videos, RMSE values decrease from 4.45° to 4.22° and from 4.52° to 4.15°, respectively. For Dataset B, IMUs and IMUs combined with pressure insoles result in RMSE reductions from 7.09° to 6.66° and from 7.20° to 6.77°, respectively. Additionally, incorporating other modalities alongside IMUs helps improve the performance of the model.

Authors: Verwoord Roselyn , Smith Heather
Published: October 2023

Partnership requires navigating the difficult terrain of power hierarchies. Building on existing work by critical educational theorists (see Freire 2002; Shor 1992; Giroux 1997), feminist scholars (see Enloe 2004; Sylvester 2009; Zalewski 2006) and Indigenous scholars (see Tuhiwai Smith 1999; Denzin, Lincoln and Tuhiwai Smith 2008; Battiste 2000) we present an educational framework using the word “P.O.W.E.R” that examines some of the dimensions shaping power relations in partnership. We describe the framework, provide questions for each aspect of the framework, and engage in a dialogue about the framework to help readers develop awareness and challenge the reproduction of power hierarchies.

Authors: Kazouini Imane , Chbichib Chada , Zouita Btissam , Basraoui Dounia , Jalal Hicham
Published: October 2023

Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) is a rare but morbid entity usually found in male neonates. It is classically defined by a triad of cardinal features that includes deficient abdominal wall musculature, urinary tract malformation and in males, cryptorchidism. Most of the patients have associated pulmonary, cardiac, skeletal and gastrointestinal tract anomalies. Children often require numerous surgical interventions including bilateral orchidopexy as well as individually tailored urinary tract and abdominal wall reconstruction. The prognosis of infants with PBS may be improved by quality antenatal follow-up, to enable the early diagnosis and preparation for prompt surgical intervention. We describe a case of PBS and emphasize the role of imaging, in the process of diagnosis and briefly review the subject.

Introdução: A criança submetida ao transplante de medula óssea (TMO) pode se sentir fora do controle de sua rotina, pois seus vínculos sociais e afetivos foram interrompidos pela internação prolongada. Objetivo: Compreender os sentimentos experimentados pelo familiar acompanhante em relação ao cuidado à criança/adolescente após o TMO no hospital. Método: Estudo descritivo-exploratório, qualitativo, desenvolvido em uma instituição privada da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, com seis familiares de crianças submetidas ao TMO. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada após aprovação do estudo pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da instituição (no: 3.955.196). Utilizou-se a análise qualitativa dos dados, segundo o modelo de categorias temáticas de Minayo. Após a transcrição literal das entrevistas, realizou-se leitura abrangente para se obter uma percepção inicial dos relatos. Leituras sucessivas permitiram destacar trechos significativos, agrupados inicialmente a partir das diferenças temáticas no processo de categorização e, posteriormente, agregados por semelhança de conteúdo. A síntese dos discursos deu-se pela aproximação dos pressupostos teóricos aos dados empíricos. Resultados: A partir dos relatos, emergiram cinco categorias que evidenciam a mudança no cotidiano familiar em função do transplante e o seu impacto nas expectativas futuras do acompanhante em relação à saúde da criança, a importância do suporte da equipe multidisciplinar no hospital, o papel fundamental de rede de apoio social e o turbilhão de sentimentos vivenciados pelo acompanhante nesse momento difícil em sua vida. Considerações finais: Conhecer as experiências de familiares acompanhantes da criança hospitalizada submetida ao TMO revela a necessidade de adaptações de todos os envolvidos à nova rotina e do fortalecimento do vínculo com a equipe multiprofissional, que deve se sensibilizar às preocupações da família. Os resultados evidenciam o mérito da abordagem qualitativa para investigações em que situações envolvendo vivências e sentimentos de crianças e familiares sejam contemplados no contexto da saúde.

Polonez a-moll „Pożegnanie Ojczyzny” między legendą a rzeczywistością
Authors: Leszczyńska Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

Uważany powszechnie za dzieło Michała Kleofasa Ogińskiego polonez a-moll, znany pod tytułem „Pożegnanie Ojczyzny” lub „Les Adieux à la Patrie”, jest kompozycją niezwykle popularną i powszechnie w Polsce rozpoznawalną. Obecność tego utworu w zbiorowej wyobraźni sprzyjała tworzeniu się różnych z nim związanych mitów. Jeden z nich dotyczy czasu i okoliczności powstania poloneza, który miał zostać napisany w 1794 roku w efekcie klęski insurekcji kościuszkowskiej i spowodowanej nią emigracji Ogińskiego. Żadne źródła nie potwierdzają takiego scenariusza. Należy również zanegować przekonanie o związku nazwy „Pożegnanie Ojczyzny” z biografią księcia, ponieważ po raz pierwszy pojawia się ona – w wersji polskiej lub francuskiej – dopiero w edycjach powstałych ok. 1860 roku, a więc ponad ćwierć wieku po śmierci kompozytora. Nazwa „Les Adieux à la Patrie” została zapewne nadana na potrzeby kijowskiej edycji Antoniego Kocipińskiego (1859), a pionierskie zastosowanie jej polskiego tłumaczenia należy do warszawskiej oficyny Józefa Kaufmanna (nie przed 1860). Nie jest znany autograf poloneza a-moll, a hipotetyczną historię tego utworu można odtwarzać na podstawie zachowanych jego publikacji. Po raz pierwszy nazwisko Ogińskiego w kontekście poloneza a-moll pojawiło się w opracowaniu Ignacego Feliksa Dobrzyńskiego wydanym w Warszawie przez Rudolfa Friedleina ok. 1855 roku. Najwcześniejsza znana wersja tego utworu pochodzi jednak z druku Marche triomphale suivie d’un Polonaise nationale (ok. 1831) sygnowanego nazwiskiem Kaspra Napoleona Wysockiego i to właśnie jego należy uznać za właściwego twórcę kompozycji przypisywanej Ogińskiemu. Porównanie pierwotnej postaci poloneza z jego młodszymi o około trzy dekady opracowaniami pozwala na wyróżnienie dwóch podstawowych nurtów przekształceń utworu: pierwszy, wyznaczony przez I.F. Dobrzyńskiego i drugi – przez A. Kocipińskiego, kontynuowany potem, z kolejnymi zmianami, przez innych wydawców publikujących utwór pod tytułem „Pożegnanie Ojczyzny”.
A geographic-location-based medical school admissions process does not influence pre-clerkship and licensing examination academic performance
Authors: Ross Brian M , Acharya Shreedhar , Welch Meggan , Biasiol Katherine , Prowse Owen , Hogard Elaine
Published: October 2023

Background: Students are selected for admission to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSM U) MD degree program using criteria aiming to maximize access of persons thought most likely to practice in the region, including use of a geographic context score (GCS) which ranks those with lived experience in northern Ontario and/or rurality most highly. This study investigates the effect of this admissions process upon medical school academic performance. 
Methods: We used a retrospective cohort design combined with multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the relationship between admission scores and performance on pre-clerkship courses, and the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam Part 1 (MCCQE1).
The GCS did not significantly explain performance variance on any pre-clerkship course, nor on the MCCQE1, while the undergraduate Grade Point Average correlated with most assessment scores.  The number of prior undergraduate biomedical courses predicted science and clinical skills performance, particularly in Year 1, but not with MCCQE1 scores. Performance on Year 2 courses, particularly foundational sciences and clinical skills, significantly predicted MCCQE1 scores.
Results: Our data suggest that admission geographic context scoring is unrelated to future academic performance. Further, students with fewer prior undergraduate biomedical courses may benefit from increased support and/or a modified program during the early years.

Published: October 2023

Implication Statement
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has usually been taught using a hands-on, in-person approach. We present a novel approach to delivering POCUS virtually using a dual image videoconferencing technique. We outline an easily implementable approach and summarize medical students’ experience and feedback. This form of delivery has potential to improve instructional delivery in resource restricted settings or during pandemic restrictions where a hands-on approach may not be possible.
Evaluation of a pre-professional pathway program: perspectives of former students in the rural pre-medicine program at Selkirk College
Authors: McEwen Sara , Vanderhoek Jonathan , Larsen Takaia
Published: October 2023

Background: Having a rural background is one of the most predictive factors in eventually having a rural practice, but people from rural areas face several barriers to post-secondary education. Pre-professional rural pathway initiatives are a potential solution. The Rural Pre-Medicine Program (RPM) at Selkirk College, British Columbia was developed to provide students with the credits necessary to apply to medicine and other health professional programs, an introduction to rural healthcare issues, and a unique and comprehensive support program to enable success.
Methods: We administered a cross-sectional survey to former students who left the program from its inception in September 2014 to May 2020 to explore the extent to which program aims are being met.
Results: The response rate was 49.4% (40/81). Respondents agreed the program increased their skills, their understanding of rural healthcare issues, and enhanced their competitiveness for applying to health professional programs. Most agreed the program increased their future rural work intentions. Respondents suggested that academic programming be more flexible to allow for more varied post-program pathways.
Conclusion: This survey provides preliminary evidence the RPM Program is on track to increase the number of people with a rural affinity who prepare to become health professionals.
Exploring the experiences of Canadian medical students with a background in the arts and humanities
Authors: Ahmed Khadija , Patel Arjun , Lingard Lorelei
Published: October 2023

Background: Arts and Humanities (A/H) training is a powerful strategy to help medical students develop key competencies which align with the CanMEDS roles that Canadian physicians are expected to embody. Students with backgrounds in A/H may enter medical school with the skills and dispositions that A/H training provides. This paper explores the varied experiences of medical students with prior A/H backgrounds, with an emphasis on how they navigate relationships with their student cohorts and participate in undergraduate medical training environments.
Methods: Descriptive qualitative research methodology was used to conduct and analyze semi-structured interviews exploring the perspectives of Canadian medical students with either a A/H degree or training in A/H (n = 13). Domains such as identity, integration of interests, and challenges in maintaining A/H interests during medical training were explored.
Results: Participants described their A/H identity as intertwined with their identity as medical trainees and described their sense of interconnection between the disciplines. Challenges included imposter syndrome and difficulties in relating with peers from science backgrounds. Participants described returning to their A/H interests as a tool for wellness amidst medical training.
Conclusions: Medical students with a background in A/H training describe this background as offering both affordances and challenges for their sense of identity, belonging, and wellness. These students offer an untapped resource: they come with dispositions of value to medicine, and they perceive a positive, hidden A/H curriculum that supports their maintenance of these dispositions during training. Understanding more about these hidden treasures could help foster the development of well-rounded and humanistic physicians in the entire medical class.

Chñtabura und Chinaχa oder lykisches Dynasten-Gedenken
Authors: SCHÜRR Diether
Published: October 2023

On his sarcophagus in Limyra, Khñtabura is shown standing naked between two old seated men designated as Araχa and Khinaχa. The second one could be the dynast Khinaχa, who minted coins at Limyra much earlier, because there are other cases of cultivating the memory of dynasts in inscriptions, also Greek inscriptions in Hellenistic times, and even of honouring the pillar tombs of dynasts in Byzantine times. Here Khinaχa is probably commemorated as an ancestor of Khñtabura.
ML-Based Approach to Predict Carotid Arterial Blood Flow Dynamics

Published: October 2023

In the current study, a numerical model has been developed to simulate the blood flow characteristics in the human carotid artery. The data thus generated is analyzed to understand the blood flow variations and predict the flow characteristics using Machine Learning techniques. In developing the numerical model, the key features of the system, namely, the blood, is modeled as an incompressible Newtonian fluid, and the artery is an elastic pipe. This model is simulated using COMSOL software by varying the material properties of the artery. Univariate analysis was performed to gain insight into the features' behaviour and target variables. Subsequently, machine-learning regression models were trained using the data generated from the idealized human carotid artery. Furthermore, the validity of the data was ensured by comparing it with flow division ratios available in the literature. The evaluation of these models was conducted by calculating the Mean Absolute Error values for the test dataset, resulting in the following values: polynomial regressor (0.0106), hyper-tuned support vector regressor (0.0487), decision tree regressor (0.000), random forest regressor (0.0156), Adaboost (0.0508), gradient-boosting (0.0044), and XGboost (0.0043). A quantile loss function was employed to assess the prediction uncertainty. According to the theory of loss function, models with low loss values are considered good predictors. The prediction uncertainty was measured by applying quantile loss function, and it identified that the random forest regressor as the best predictor model for the data, followed by the polynomial regression of degree 3. Prediction intervals for the target variable were computed by leveraging the random forest quantile regressor model. Moreover, the developed polynomial model was utilized to investigate the presence of stenosis in the artery.

Zeolitic Imidazolate/Fe3O4 Nanocomposite for Removal of Polystyrene and 4-tert-butylphenol via Adsorption
Authors: Sponza Deli̇a Teresa , Özteki̇n Ruki̇ye
Published: October 2023

Simultaneous removal of microplastics and endocrine disruptors was performed with high yields using Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite. Polystyrene and 4-tert-butylphenol were used to indicate the microplastic and endocrine disruptors. Under optimal conditions for maximum yields, the matrix was as follows: 1.5 mg/l Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite, 30 min adsorption time at a Zeolitic imidazolate to Fe3O4 ratio of 1/1, and 6 mg/l individual polystyrene 4-tert-butylphenol concentrations. Under these conditions, 99% and 98% removals were detected for polystyrene and 4-tert-butylphenol, respectively via adsorption. An excellent reproducibility was found for Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite under steadystate operational conditions. The FESEM analyses showed that Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite diameter was around 30 nm at a Zeolitic imidazolate to Fe3O4 nanocomposite ratio of 1/1 while some larger dodecahedral particles size was ≤ 300 nm. N2 adsorption–desorption measurements exhibited the porosity of Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite and the decrease of size is attributed to the incorporation of a nonporous magnetic phase via the addition of Fe2+ to the nanocomposite. BET results showed a specific surface area with a BET isotherm of 5000 m2 /g, and a pore size of 30 nm for Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite. In the XRD spectra of Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite, the structure of nanocomposite was not changed by the addition of imidazolate and Fe3O4 nanocomposite. HRTEM analysis indicated some crystal agglomerations by doping of zeolitic imidazolate to Fe3O4. The reusability of the Zeolitic imidazolate/Fe3O4 nanocomposite was excellent even after 60 times utilization. The yields were 88% and 85% after 60 runs while the nanocomposite was reused 20 times during runs with yields as high as 97% and 98%.

The purpose was to determine the relationship between administrative management and work stress of workers in Metropolitan Lima. While studies in psychology frequently relate work stress to climate and work satisfaction, in this study, we sought to relate administrative management, when it is inadequate, as the generator of the negative work environment that causes workers to become physically and mentally ill when they fail to adapt. The result was that there is a very significant relationship between administrative management and work stress, as well as that coordination and control have a high correlation with work stress.

Published: October 2023

Background and Aim: Sudden natural death that occurred apparently to a healthy individual sometimescreates suspicions of foul play, thus subjected to medicolegal (ML) examinations. The study aims to assess thesociodemographic profile of the sudden natural death cases brought for medicolegal autopsy and identify thecommonest accountable cause of sudden natural death.Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, at tertiary care teachinghospital, India for the duration of 1 year. During the study period total of 784 cases were brought for medicolegalautopsies to mortuary, out of which 50 cases were found to be sudden natural death constituting an overall burdenof 6.37%. All the cases of autopsy having the opinion of natural death as a cause of death and cases brought deadin casualty without evidence of unnatural cause were included. The distribution of the cases concerning varioussociodemographic variables was presented as frequencies and percentages.Results: Male predominance was observed among the sudden death cases as out of 50 cases, 40 cases (80%) weremale, and 10 cases were female with a sex ratio of 4:1. Most of the cases were reported from the adult age groupand the commonly involved age group was 31 to 40 years. Among the causes of sudden death, the most involvedorgan system was the cardiovascular system (44%), followed by the gastrointestinal system (22%), respiratorysystem (18%), central nervous system (14%) and genitourinary system (2%).Conclusion: Cardiac causes are the most common cause of sudden natural death among the adult population inthe study site. Increased frequency of sudden deaths among urban, married and adult male populations might bedue to sedentary lifestyles in urban areas and increased stress among married individuals due to workload andfamily responsibilities, indicating a physical and mental disequilibrium in modern times resulting in this type ofunexpected deaths.

Authors: Grette Sara Titus
Published: October 2023

With the development of science and technology in the legal field, forensic science has contributed vastly to ensurethat justice is administered to those who are affected. DNA Evidence has played an important role in the criminaljustice system over the recent years. DNA findings have often helped to determine the culprits of several cold caseswhere sufficient traditional evidences were not present. Such evidences aid criminal investigations and helps toestablish a link between the crime and the perpetrators. Hence, DNA evidence is crucial to protect victim’s rightsand solve grave crimes like murder, rape, sexual assault etc. Further, DNA evidence is also utilised to exonerateaccused persons in crimes and for the identification of victims in crimes where the body is severally damaged.This article aims to understand DNA evidence, its importance in ensuring Justice and the various legal challengesinvolved in introducing such evidence before court. The research aims to also determine the need to developand amend criminal legislation to include DNA evidence and the need of a DNA database to ensure immediateidentification of criminals.

Published: October 2023

Purple Glove Syndrome is a relatively uncommon complication of intravenous phenytoin administration withclinical manifestations of pain, edema, and purple-blue discoloration at the injection site. Here we report a caseof Purple Glove syndrome induced by intravenous administration of phenytoin. The case report describes about a75-year-old male, who presented to the Emergency Department with chief complaints of generalized tonic - clonicseizures for which he was managed with Inj. Phenytoin. Later patient sensorium improved and 4 hours later thepatient had pain and swelling over the left hand and wrist distal to the IV cannula site followed by reddish-purplediscoloration over the edematous site. Left upper limb Doppler was done & it showed left-hand cellulitis with noevidence of thrombus. Then the patient was reassured and treated with removal of IV cannula, left-hand elevation,warmth application, analgesics and change of antiepileptics. Such medications like phenytoin should be handledcarefully to avoid difficulties in the future. Early detection, rapid monitoring, and management are essential.
ICMI in the 1950s and 1960s: The internationalization process and the emergence of Mathematics Education as a research discipline
Authors: Furinghetti Fulvia , Giacardi Livia
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to analyze the evolution of the objectives and fields of action of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) in the period from its reconstitution as a permanent subcommission of the newly refounded International Mathematical Union (IMU) in 1952 to the presidency of Hans Freudenthal (1967–1970), who impressed a real turning point in the Commission’s activities. This period was crucial in the life of ICMI because of the need to better define its status as a subcommission and the concomitant events in politics, technology, research and society. The new ICMI as a subcommission of IMU depended on it both for the choice of members of the Executive Committee and for funding. The lack of precise Terms of Reference to regulate the relations between the two bodies produced friction that arose mainly from ICMI’s desire for greater independence from IMU. Furthermore, the Commission’s old agenda, which placed emphasis mainly on curricula issues and organizational aspects of mathematics teaching in the various countries, was now outdated. In this paper we will focus in particular on the contributions of presidents Marshall H. Stone and André Lichnerowicz and their efforts to broaden the scope of ICMI both geographically and in terms of the agenda. We will also try to show how awareness of the weaknesses of the Commission progressively identified by the various presidents led to ICMI’s Renaissance. Finally, we will outline the main steps of the emergence of mathematics education as a new research field. Our research is based on a selection of unpublished letters and documents belonging to the period 1952–1974 (from the IMU Archive and others), which made it possible to highlight unknown or lesser-known aspects of the history of ICMI.

The purpose of this research is to find out the benefits of PhET simulation in teaching physics in schools, and to argue that PhET simulation can replace real laboratories in teaching physics in schools. This research is a qualitative research. This type of research is literature study. Articles to be reviewed are obtained from various sources, namely: Google Scholar, Scopus, Garuda portal and ERIC. The first stage of the search produced 50 articles, then the data was directed to the selection of 10 main challenging categories to be researched, 3 international journals and 7 national journals. The results of the study show that teachers can use PhET simulations as an alternative complementary solution to the unavailability of real physics laboratory equipment in schools. PhET simulations are not only a substitute for real laboratories. In its implementation, PhET simulation is able to display real practical processes clearly and easily understood. PhET Simulation improves academic achievement in the field of science, improves student performance, thinking skills and enhance students’ interaction. Changing abstract concepts into more concrete ones. The PhET simulation also has disadvantages, namely that teachers and students must provide electronic devices that have the PhET application installed; must master the use of electronic devices; require usage guidelines; does not include activities; not yet equipped with student worksheets; no instructions for use yet; and students must work independently.
