The lining of your airways becomes inflamed and produces mucus, which causes asthma. Along with other symptoms, this inflammation during an attack produces a wheezing or whistling sound as you breathe. The purpose of this study was to measure the serum zinc, calcium, and membrane potential in Owerri's asthmatic individuals. a case control study with 36 asthmatic patients who were receiving care at the General Hospital in Owerri. Serum zinc and serum calcium were measured in fasting venous blood, and the Nernst equation was used to determine membrane potential. The serum zinc was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, while the serum calcium was assessed using the Randox Kit. For statistical analysis, the Independent Student t test was employed.The findings showed that, in comparison to the controls, asthmatic individuals had considerably lower membrane potential, serum zinc, and serum calcium (p<0.05). This study showed that a decline in serum zinc, calcium, and membrane potential may be a key factor in the pathophysiology of asthma. To prevent asthma in Owerri, pregnant women may need to consume higher amounts of these vital trace metals through their diet.

India is the most populous country of the world where majority of the people do not have proper access to the healthcare facilities due to financial constraint. In such situation a pandemic like COVID-19 has severely affected the health system and life of people. Although the mortality was low in comparison to other developed nations, a large proportion of people were affected by COVID-19. There are various reports of development of post infectious autoimmune disorders after viral infections, and a surge in autoimmune diseases is inevitable. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the autoimmune conditions which can be due to both genetic and environment condition. Apart from genetic condition, it has been suggested that viral infections can cause induction of multiple sclerosis. A large proportion of Indian population was affected by COVID-19 and risk of sudden increase in multiple sclerosis cases is possible in future. A well prepared health care system would help in proper diagnosis and treatment of possible upsurge of MS cases.

Published: January 2025

Onodi cell mucoceles are rare entities that can cause devastating ocular complications if not treated promptly. devastating ocular complications if not treated promptly. Diagnosis may be delayed due to the wide range of differential diagnoses of unilateral retrobulbar optic neuropathy. We give a thorough assessment of the literature on this entity and describe a novel instance of Onodi cell mucocele in a 39-year-old woman. To the best of our knowledge, no prior review has been published on Onodi cell mucoceles. According to our research, following surgical decompression, 69% of patients with an Onodi cell mucocele reported improved vision. The great majority of these patients had endoscopic decompression; there was no discernible difference in the visual outcomes depending on when the surgery was performed. We describe here the case of a 61-year-old patient who had already undergone surgery for mucocele 12 years ago and who presented with permanent chronic nasal obstruction with no associated ophthalmological signs, revealing mucocele of the onodi cell.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to gather, present, describe and explain the data on noncompliance to standard treatment procedures and its implication on increase in the mortality rate of cancer patients in Benue State. The study was a descriptive research and the data was obtained from the cancer patients case folders in the Record unit of the Oncology and Palliative Care Clinic Federal Medical Centre Makurdi. A total of 430 case folders of patients who received chemotherapy were thoroughly reviewed to analyze their level of compliance to cancer treatment procedures. Findings showed 53 different types of cancers diagnosed in the male and female patients but commonly were breast cancer 115(26.7%), cervical cancer 89(20.7%), liver cancer 19(4.4%), ovarian cancer, 16(3.7%), colorectal cancer 15(3.5%), Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer 15(3.5%), nasopharyngeal cancer 11(2.6%). Cervical cancer 16(18.0%), and breast cancer patients 7(6. 1%), were cancers diagnosed in patients with HIV status. Diagnosed cancer stages in patients was; stage I cancer 2.6%, stage II 46.7%, stage III 49.1% and stage IV 1.3%. Regarding compliance to treatment, 77.5% of cancer patients received chemotherapy, 13.5% surgery and 9.1%. went for radiative therapy. These findings corresponded with previous studies about noncompliance to cancer treatment procedures and increased patients’ mortality. Unfortunately, poverty was found as the reason incapacitating cancer patient’s financial strength to full compliance to cancer treatment procedures. Thus, it will be appropriate for the Federal and States governments to budget and make specific funds available to support cancer patients to access their treatment requirements with ease.

Authors: Aisyah Aisyah , Arsyadi Baso , Wahab Abdul , Lutfi Mukhtar
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the role of distribution in Islamic economics as a mechanism for creating social justice and social welfare. The researchers use a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method based on a literature review of relevant primary and secondary sources. The study results indicate that distribution in Islamic economics is central to reducing the gap between the rich and the poor. The principle of justice that underlies this system gives every individual the right to get a decent opportunity to improve their lives. Instruments such as zakat, infaq, sedekah, and waqf function as a means of redistributing wealth, thus ensuring that wealth is accumulated in certain groups and continues to circulate and benefit the wider community. In addition, the distribution of wealth in Islam not only focuses on material welfare but also strengthens social solidarity and the unity of the people.

Cidadania digital crítica em meio aos desafios políticos impostos pela pandemia da COVID-19
Authors: Carvalho João Mauro Gomes Vieira de , Gomes Luiz Roberto , Zuin Antonio Alvaro Soares , Lastória Luiz Antonio Calmon Nabuco
Published: January 2025

O objetivo desse artigo é promover uma reflexão teórica sobre o conceito de cidadania, tendo como contexto atual a cultura digital e o isolamento social durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo teórico-conceitual que, partindo de algumas concepções presentes na literatura corrente sobre o tema, lançou mão de textos clássicos da filosofia política para dimensionar o significado do conceito de cidadania digital e seu uso nas políticas educacionais a partir de uma perspectiva teórico-filosófica mais abrangente. Nesse sentido, parte-se do pressuposto de que a ubiquidade das tecnologias digitais de comunicação apresenta problemas que exigem a reflexão crítica de toda a sociedade, em perspectiva histórica ampliada. Em um mundo cada vez mais organizado economicamente em torno de algoritmos digitais, o acesso às informações para todos os cidadãos tornou-se um problema central nas sociedades democráticas. No entanto, o estudo demostra que garantir o acesso às tecnologias de informação não é suficiente para uma educação democrática nesse contexto. O resultado da reflexão teórica aqui apresentada demonstra ser necessário também, promover a autorreflexão crítica sobre os processos de manipulação de conteúdos e indução de consumo irrefletido das informações. Isso exige uma atuação educacional incisiva, como forma de esclarecimento e discernimento dos elementos que constituem o universo das informações, que nos chegam por diversos canais. A conclusão preconiza que a participação democrática do cidadão só se efetivará politicamente se lhe for garantida uma formação cultural plena, com possibilidade real de inserção cultural e engajamento ético-político nas questões que envolvem a vida social na cultura digital.

Authors: Yang Yaqian , Zhu Lu
Published: January 2025

Background and Aim: Since 2012, the advent of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has sparked a global revolution in digital education. As modern educational technology continues to advance rapidly, the sharing of educational resources and the establishment of online courses have become critical priorities. This research aims to analyze the current state of online course learning among students in management colleges, tackle the challenge of enhancing online learning environments, develop innovative models for online platforms, and meet diverse learning needs. Through investigation and research on students' understanding of online courses, usage patterns, and existing challenges, the study seeks to foster well-rounded management professionals equipped to meet the demands of contemporary society.
Materials and Methods: This study involves seven variables that will be assessed through questionnaires to ensure reliability and validity in research measurement. To achieve this, we integrated previous questionnaire designs related to paid courses on knowledge payment platforms and conducted a pre-test to refine the questionnaire based on participant feedback and data performance. Following adjustments, a finalized version of the questionnaire was developed to enhance accuracy in data collection.
The focus of this research is on users of paid knowledge platforms who either intend to purchase or have already made purchases. Therefore, screening questions were initially included in the questionnaire design to identify respondents familiar with paid courses. Respondents not aware of such courses were excluded from further questioning. Subsequently, additional inquiries were directed towards filtering out those unwilling to pay. The final sample analysis was conducted exclusively on users who were aware of paid courses and either expressed willingness or demonstrated behavior in paying for them.
Results: The researcher will outline the study's subjects in this chapter, including the target population, sample units, sample size, and related sampling procedures. Additionally, they will establish the research instrument for this study and delineate the various sections of the questionnaire. The validity, internal consistency, and reliability of the research content will also be addressed. Internal validity is determined by two factors: prediction and Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Conclusion: The relevant research findings are presented, which are beneficial for learners in both courses, and the level of support provided by the course structure varies for different learners; Understanding the needs of learners for the course is essential. Based on the aforementioned research, the ultimate goal is to promote curriculum optimization and iteration and provide corresponding guidance and references for developing MOOC classes to enhance teachers' teaching abilities.

Revisión de la Doctrina de Monroe-Kellie: Base Fisiológica para la Evaluación y Control de la Presión Intracraneal en el Traumatismo Craneoencefálico
Authors: Mariana Elizondo-Alatorre , Hernandez Pulido Sandra , Castañeda Lopez Sonia , Vázquez Molina José Luis , Peralta Samperio Nallely
Published: January 2025

La doctrina de Monroe-Kellie establece que el cráneo, como compartimento rígido, contiene tres componentes principales: parénquima cerebral, sangre y líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR). Bajo condiciones normales, la sumatoria de los volúmenes intracraneales permanece relativamente constante, y el aumento de uno de ellos requiere una compensación que evite incrementos significativos en la presión intracraneal (PIC) [1,2]. Esta premisa fisiológica es fundamental para comprender la dinámica intracraneal en el contexto del traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE), un escenario clínico complejo en el que lesiones primarias y secundarias alteran el balance intracraneal y ponen en riesgo la perfusión cerebral y la función neurológica [3,4].Este artículo de revisión analiza los fundamentos de la doctrina de Monroe-Kellie, su aplicación en la monitorización de la PIC, las técnicas actuales disponibles y las estrategias terapéuticas dirigidas a prevenir y controlar la hipertensión intracraneal en el TCE [5]. Además, se discute el rol de la autorregulación cerebral, la integración del neuromonitoreo multimodal, la incorporación de biomarcadores emergentes y las perspectivas futuras orientadas a mejorar los desenlaces clínicos [6,7].
LA SYMBOLIQUE DU SANG COMME MOYEN DE RENOUVELLEMENT DE LA MEMOIRE AFRICAINE DANS LE RETOUR DU MORT DE SULEIMAN CASSAMO THE SYMBOLIC OF BLOOD AS A WAY OF RENEWAL AFRICAN MEMORY IN LE RETOUR DU MORT BY SULEIMAN CASSAMO
Authors: DIALLO Dr Oumar
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
In his tales, Mozambican writer Suleiman Cassamo seeks to question African memory in general, and that of his country in particular. In fully accepting his African identity, Suleiman Cassamo writes in Portuguese flavored with local languages (Ronga), as is also the case for francophone African writers, Maghrebin, and Creole ones, etc. The introduction of words, expressions and proverbs of Ronga origins results from a deliberate choice of the author, with such finality of the aesthetic quest : the local color. A local color whose narrative is built on the oral language, the only means of transmitting memory in
traditional African societies.
In this transmission of memory, blood remains a seed in Suleiman Cassamo’s
Le Retour du Mort. With a view to preserving the past - in other words, memory - Suleiman Cassamo puts in perspective blood as a vehicle for the latter. For the author, memory, being driven by blood, symbolizes the vitality and strength contained in the past of the Mozambican people. Blood would thus cease to be merely a natural element of the living being to ensure the commitment to transmit to the future generations the past of the country,families or nation. It is this questioning over the symbolism of blood that we intend to explore in our analysis of Suleiman Cassamo's Le Retour du Mort.This vital resource of the body, whose symbolic is associated with life but also pain, crosses over the different tales in the work of Suleiman Cassamo.

Published: January 2025

Mots-clés : Partenariat, artisans, formation professionnelle, enseignement technique
Résumé
Le système éducatif guinéen, dans sa composante écoles techniques et professionnelles (ETP), connaît des dysfonctionnements liés au manque de matériel didactique. Les collèges et lycées techniques qui existaient connaissent de nos jours leur extinction. L’insuffisance de matériel de travaux pratiques contribue à la faiblesse du niveau des apprenants. Le manque de matières d’œuvre dans les ETP nécessite une adaptation aux réalités guinéennes. La résolution de ces problèmes pourrait passer par un partenariat avec les artisans. Quel est l’impact d’un partenariat entre artisans et ETP sur la qualification et l’apport en matière d’œuvre et l’insertion professionnelle ? L’objectif principal de cette recherche est d’étudier l’impact d’un partenariat entre secteur informel (artisanat traditionnel) et secteur formel (ETP).

Pour réaliser cette recherche, nous avons exploré les perceptions des artisans, élèves, enseignants, directeurs d’ETP et cadres du ministère de l’emploi, de l’enseignement technique et formation professionnelle (MEETFP). Les artisans, élèves, enseignants et personnel d’encadrement indiquent qu’un partenariat pourrait améliorer la qualification et l’insertion professionnelle des élèves dans les ETP et les artisans du secteur informel en Guinée.

Résumé
L’approche par les compétences avec entrée par les situations de vie (APC/ESV) tarde à décoller au Cameroun du fait de nombreux écarts sur les plans méthodologique et théorique. Ce constat implique la nécessité de distinguer les différentes méthodologies à l’œuvre dans les dispositifs d’enseignement/apprentissage. Ainsi, nous avons mené une analyse didactique du manuel scolaire intitulé Le Réseau du Français 4, utilisé de 2018 à 2024 pour l’enseignement du français en direction du public anglophone, dont l’appellation est passée de French à Français deuxième langue. Cette démarche a contribué à allier méthodologie de référence et méthodologie de conception pour l’amélioration du contenu des manuels de FLE dans ce contexte. Ce travail a préalablement requis l’indispensable recadrage du concept de la « compétence » en classe de langue.

Résumé
Cet article qui s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche en sciences de l’éducation et précisément en didactique de la physique s’intéresse à la forte intrication des mathématiques comme outil pour l’enseignement de la physique. Cette étude de caractère interdisciplinaire a pour objet d’explorer le niveau de maitrise, par des élèves de terminale du Sénégal, de concepts mathématiques dans l’étude de la cinématique. En choisissant une méthode quantitative, un questionnaire en ligne, sous forme de test, a été administré à des élèves de terminales S1 et S2. Les questions ont porté sur la représentation vectorielle de grandeurs cinématiques, la détermination de coordonnées cartésiennes par calcul de dérivées ou recherche de primitives et la détermination de constantes de mouvement par exploitation graphique. Les résultats ont révélé que les élèves éprouvent plus de difficultés avec la manipulation des vecteurs. Le calcul de dérivées et intégral et la recherche de primitives connaissent moins de difficultés. L’exploitation de graphiques donne plus de satisfaction. Certes les performances réalisées par les élèves sont acceptables, mais nous trouvons nécessaire d’améliorer encore le niveau de maitrise des élèves des savoirs mathématiques utilisés en physique, particulièrement la manipulation des vecteurs.
Diversité culturelle et (re) production des élites dans le champ politico-administratif camerounais : représentations et logiques d’acteurs
Authors: FOBASSO GUEDJO Trésor
Published: January 2025

Mots-clés : Elites politico-administratives, diversité culturelle, construction, instrumentalisation et (ré) production des élites
Résumé
Au Cameroun, la diversité culturelle ne semble plus être un instrument d’unité, comme officiellement conçu et vulgarisé, mais, en raison des logiques d’acteurs, elle représente aussi un levier de construction et de consolidation des inégalités et/ou revendications sociales et politiques. La fibre identitaire est donc employée et abusée pour des fins de positionnement ; ce qui rappelle allégrement la dynamique de production des memoranda qui prend de plus en plus corps au Cameroun depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années. Celle-ci est tantôt l’expression des élites sociales, traditionnelles, économiques, politiques ou de la communauté ethnique tout entière en faveur d’une action spécifique de développement ; tantôt l’expression des remerciements ou d’une motion de soutien. Désormais plongé dans une dynamique de prolifération de revendications pluridimensionnelles, l’on assiste de plus en plus à la naissance d’élans fractionnistes aux allures revendicatives qui expriment nettement les inégalités sociales dissimulées par la diversité culturelle du pays. Dès lors, à première vue, les luttes pour la reconnaissance citoyenne semblent orientées vers l'obtention d'un certain nombre de privilèges sociaux et économiques, en général liés à la participation au pouvoir politique et/ou à l’acquisition de positions de pouvoir. Face à ce constat, la présente étude mobilise l’observation participante, l’analyse documentaire et la fouille d’archives afin de scruter de près ce phénomène. A cet effet, suivant les perspectives constructivistes et stratégiques, cette contribution observe que le mécanisme de production d’élites naguère au Cameroun depuis 1975 montre de plus en plus ses limites en raison de l’inégale répartition des richesses entre la pluralité de couches sociales qui le compose. Le fait est que, par la forte emprise des revendications ethno-communautaires et des appétits individuels, ce gage de préservation de l’unité nationale et de prévention des conflits est de plus en plus un instrument d’exclusion sociale.

Wprowadzenie. Warto dokonywać oceny postaw wobec zdrowia, a także zdrowego stylu życia wśród dzieci i młodzieży, gdyż w tym okresie życia dochodzi do najbardziej intensywnego ich kształtowania, bardzo często w wyniku testowania różnorodnych zachowań, w tym niebezpiecznych. Cel. Celem badań było poznanie postaw dzieci i młodzieży objętych edukacją w systemie oświaty wobec zdrowia oraz zdrowego stylu życia poprzez ocenę postrzegania tego zagadnienia przez dorosłych – rodziców oraz osoby kierujące procesem dydaktyczno-wychowawczym. Metody i materiały. Przeprowadzono 52 wywiady z liderami opinii bezpośrednio związanymi
ze środowiskiem uczniów objętych obowiązkiem szkolnym na poszczególnych etapach edukacji w województwie opolskim. Wyniki. Badani rodzice i osoby prowadzące zajęcia pozaszkolne negatywnie oceniają postawy uczniów wobec zdrowia i zdrowego stylu życia. Większość nauczycieli dostrzega pozytywne postawy dzieci wobec zdrowia, głównie w komponencie poznawczym, jednakże zwraca uwagę na braki w pożądanych zachowaniach. Badani psychologowie w większości negatywnie oceniają postawy uczniów wobec zdrowia i dbałości o nie. Dostrzegają braki w zakresie świadomości korzystania z pomocy psychologicznej zarówno wśród uczniów, jak i rodziców. Wnioski. Zauważalna zwiększona świadomość uczniów w zakresie zdrowia niekoniecznie przekłada się na właściwe zachowania w praktyce, co sugeruje konieczność większej koncentracji prowadzących zajęcia na procesie wychowawczym w obszarze edukowania o zdrowiu, w tym na atrakcyjnych doświadczeniach wzbudzających pozytywne emocje. Należy systemowo pracować nad właściwymi postawami, szczególnie poprzez interwencje w środowisku funkcjonowania ucznia, również w przestrzeni wirtualnej, a także poprzez lokowanie modelowych postaw w popkulturze tworzonej przez nowe media. Konieczny wydaje się także namysł nad przygotowaniem przyszłych i doskonaleniem obecnie pracujących nauczycieli w obszarze współczesnego, salutogenetycznego rozumienia zdrowia.

The article analyses social engineering attacks, considering legitimate approaches to them. As a form of survey method, user strategies to combat social engineering were evaluated. Along with the above, users’ trust in the estimation of potentially hazardous situations and the degree of persuasion targeted by attackers who make use of social engineering were also measured. It was found among the most critical aspects that trust, greed, empathy, and feeling in haste are effective tactics, whilst many people simply delete or do not care to verify unsolicited emails. The need for adequate education, policies, and technologies to combat social engineering is recommended. Besides, the importance of cyberpsychology in developing cyberspace security strategies in businesses is highlighted, which makes them more immune to increasing social engineering attacks.
