Psychological Help for Children Fleeing the Russian-Ukrainian War: an Intersubjectivity Perspective
Authors: Nakonechna Mariia
Published: July 2024

Post-traumatic development has been discussed in world psychology since the mid-1990s. We can speak of intertraumatic development because the war is not over yet, but many people experience positive changes in their lives during this time, between the separate, segmented traumas of the war.
Psychological assistance for refugee children is a comprehensive system of dialogical counseling, professional interventions and targeted psychosocial support. It should be person-centered and integrated into a holistic humanitarian assistance project.
Problems faced by refugees in Poland include mental development disorders, suicide attempts, interpersonal conflicts, gender-based violence, difficulties in adaptation, loss of home, family, pets, etc.
Personal development during war is characterized by continuity. Although war is the ultimate factor of the existential level, threatening the very existence of man, it cannot stop the personal development of a person, much less a child. As psychologists, we must be aware of this and focus on the prospects of post-traumatic development.

The southern gull or gull (Larus dominicanus) belongs to the Laridae family. It stands out for being the largest species among the seagulls frequently found in Brazil, reaching approximately 58 cm in length. Identification of these birds can be done through their plumage, which is divided into four distinct age categories. Typically, the female lays two to three eggs, and the responsibility for feeding the young is shared by both parents. The objective is to describe the morphology and skeletal anatomy in order to disseminate knowledge, highlighting the importance of such research for the literature in the area and as a specific objective the assembly of a structure that can help in the identification of the anatomical parts of the species, since it is There are few research specimens for this species. The study took place on the corpse of the animal found dead in the conservation units of the Jureia-Itatins mosaic, on the south coast of São Paulo. Using maceration and bleaching techniques to prepare the skeleton, it was possible to detail the bone structure, providing an understanding of the functionalities related to flight, nutrition and reproduction of this species, in addition to demonstrating the effectiveness and cost-benefit of anatomical preparation methods. adopted. This approach aimed to evaluate the osteomounting procedure, which enabled an improved understanding of the seagull's skeletal structure. Thus, the final assembly of the skeleton became a tool to assist both veterinary medicine and biology students, emphasizing the relevance of the osteology and osteoassembly techniques presented in this work.

Published: July 2024

Stunting is one of the triple malnutrition burdens in Indonesia, beside obesity and micronutrient deficiency. Stunting is a reflection of long-term undernourishment which resulted in stunted growth. National Health Survey Data showed the reduction of stunting rate among under-five children in Indonesia from 37.2% in 2013 to 30.4% in 2018 and 21.5% in 2023. Despite this decreasing trend, the national stunting rate was still above the World Health Organization threshold of 20%. There is also a wide discrepancy between provinces in Indonesia with stunting rate ranges from 7.2% in Bali to 39.2% in Papua.
Back in 2011, there was a movement by 28 countries including Indonesia regarding the 1000 first day of life (1000-days) program. This was an approach targeting children during their 1000 first day of life through specific and sensitive nutritional interventions. The 1000-days is started during pregnancy until the child is two years old. This movement involved related stakeholders from national and sub-national level including ministries, community organization, private sectors, professional organization, academics and others.

Curcuma longa L. (commonly known as Tumeric) is the only species of the genus Curcuma found in Nigeria. It is of great economic importance to Nigeria, Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world, where it is widely used for ornamental and medicinal purposes, and as spices in food and beverages. However, the phylogenetic placement of the turmeric plant (C. longa) in Nigeria is far from being fully resolved, hence the need for this study. The rhizomes of turmeric were collected at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan, Oyo state. Genomic DNA was extracted, followed by the amplification of the ITS and psbA-trnH regions. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using the Maximum likelihood method. The result resolved the phylogenetic position of Nigerian species and supported existing subgenera classification into three clades, all with high bootstrap support for the three clades. The result of this study supports the subgenera classification of the genus and further reveals the phylogenetic position of C. longa.

Social media has become part of students' lives with most undergraduates spending at least more than an hour on social media with various kinds of misuse including accessing adult materials. This study sought to determine the predictive powers of students' socio-demographic characteristics on involvement in risky sexual practices when using social media. The study was a cross-sectional descriptive survey including 400 undergraduates selected from the Departments of English Language and Education & History in the Ikire Campus; Community Medicine and Physiology in the Osogbo campus; and Animal Science and Agricultural Economics in the Ejigbo Campus through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of five sections with both univariate and bivariate analyses conducted using the SPSS software version 20.0. The mean age of the respondents was 16.4±3.7years, 65.2% were female, 26.5% were 100L students, 95.5% were single, 93.5% belonged to the Yoruba ethnic group, and 67.0% were Christians. Similarly, 97.2% of the respondents had access to social media, and 87.8% accessed social media frequently. Facebook (82.5%), WhatsApp (79.9%), and Twitter (73.3%) were the most used social media platforms. The majority (60%) were exposed to sexual risks, and 59% had a poor attitude towards risky sexual behaviour. Online dating without prior knowledge of the partner (58.8%) and viewing porn (37.3%) were the major risky sexual practices among the students. While the socio-demographic variables were associated with sexual practice, attitude, and sexual exposure since using social media, only age and gender were significantly associated with sexual practice and attitude respectively at P<0.05. With the consequences of unhindered access to social media among undergraduates especially on sexuality, the study therefore recommends a health education intervention to include a comprehensive sexual health education to all stakeholders in the parenting journey to produce morally upright youths in the society.

Published: July 2024

People in Malumfashi Local Government Area Katsina State, Nigeria have been using medicinal plants to cure various ailments since time immemorial. However, the medicinal uses of such plants were never documented. Herein, we conducted an ethnobotanical survey to document medicinal plants as well as the ethnobotanical knowledge of Malumfashi Local Government, Katsina State, Nigeria. We employed a semi-structured questionnaire to interview 50 respondents comprising of herbalists, traditional midwives, housewives and farmers. Medicinal plants belonging to 37 genera distributed among 29 families were documented. The majority of the mentioned medicinal plants belong to the family Fabaceae (9), Asteraceae Combretaceae and Moraceae (4), Malvaceae (3), Myrtaceae and Anacardiaceae (2) families. Securidaca longipedunculata, Azadirachta indica, and Mangifera indica were the medicinal plants with the highest relative frequency of citation with 0.44. 0.38, and 0.34, respectively. For fidelity level (FL), Spinacia oleracea and Diospyros mespiliformis were the species with the highest, 100% each. Among the 10 categories of ailments, Urogenital, Fever, and Antinode had the highest Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) of 0.78,0.76 and 0.75, respectively. Most of the reported plants (84%) were trees and shrubs and about 70% of the surveyed plants were wild. The most frequent plant parts used were leaves and bark. The majority of the medications (70%) were prepared as decoctions and were mostly administered orally (86%). We recommend screening of bioactive compounds present in the reported plant species as well as their biological activities on the pathogens that cause the diseases. Additionally, the cultivation of medicinal plants to minimize the pressure on wild species is also recommended.

Authors: Lima Stephane Raquel Barreto , Oliveira Suammy Alejandra Vasquez , Silva Cleber Medeiros , Fortes Iaci Gama
Published: July 2024

A Anemia Falciforme é uma herança genética do tipo autossômica recessiva, causada por uma mutação na hemoglobina dos eritrócitos, resultando em produção de hemoglobina S (HbS) e alteração na sua forma bicôncava para drepanócito, provocando crises vaso-oclusivas e danos progressivos aos órgãos. A indução de Hemoglobina Fetal (HbF) é um método de tratamento para a anemia falciforme. O estudo teve por objetivo revisar a aplicação da técnica CRISPR-Cas9 para o tratamento da anemia falciforme (AF), descrever os mecanismos de edição gênica, sua implementação e perspectivas futuras. O sistema CRISPR-Cas9, inicialmente descoberto como um mecanismo de defesa bacteriana, tem se destacado por sua precisão e eficiência na edição genética. A técnica envolve a clivagem de DNA em pontos específicos e subsequente reparo, permitindo a correção de mutações. Ensaios clínicos e estudos demonstraram a potencial eficácia da CRISPR-Cas9 em aumentar a hemoglobina fetal, devido a seu papel inibitório na polimerização da hemoglobina S. No entanto, existem desafios importantes a serem enfrentados: a necessidade de reduzir os efeitos indesejados da edição genética em locais não alvos e resolver as questões éticas associadas ao uso dessa tecnologia, bem como, estudos mais conclusivos sobre os efeitos da edição a longo prazo. A implementação dessa tecnologia promete um avanço significativo no tratamento da AF, proporcionando esperança de cura e melhor qualidade de vida para os pacientes.

Цель. Оценка функции правого желудочка в предоперационном и послеоперационном периодах с помощью традиционной трансторакальной эхокардиографии у детей с легочной гипертензией, ассоциированной с врожденными пороками сердца.Материал и методы. С сентября 2022 г. по август 2023 г. в университетской клинике AKFA Medline проведено эхокардиографическое обследование 25 пациентов с врожденным пороком сердца (17 девочек и 8 мальчиков) в возрасте от 6 месяцев до 2 лет. Систолическую экскурсию плоскости трехстворчатого кольца (TAPSE) в М-режиме и систолическое давление в легочной артерии (SPAP) определяли в качестве основного диагностического параметра эхокардиографии. Все результаты TAPSE сравнивались на трех этапах: дооперационном, раннем послеоперационном (1–2 дня после хирургической коррекции) и позднем послеоперационном (через 1 месяц после выписки из стационара).Результаты. До операции у 12 детей значение SPAP колебалось в пределах 45–55 мм рт. ст., TAPSE – от 12 до 15 мм (в среднем 13,5 мм). У 13 детей значение TAPSE колебалось от 8–11 мм до -2 по Z-критерию, SPAP измерялось более 55 мм рт. ст. В период пребывания в отделении интенсивной терапии у 17 детей значение TAPSE составляло 9–12 мм (более -2,5 по Z-score), а SPAP снижалось до 30 мм рт.ст. в раннем послеоперационном периоде после хирургической коррекции врожденных пороков сердца. У 8 детей показатели TAPSE составили 6–8 мм (более -3,5 по Z-score), SPAP – 40–45 мм рт.ст. Через месяц после выписки показатели TAPSE постепенно увеличиваются, при этом у 20 детей увеличились до 14–17 мм (0 или -1 по Z-score), а у 5 пациентов достигли 12–15 мм (до -2 по Z-score).Заключение. TAPSE резко снижается и хорошо коррелирует с продолжительностью пребывания в отделении интенсивной терапии у детей после хирургической коррекции легочной гипертензии, ассоциированной с ВПС, и постепенно увеличивается в позднем послеоперационном периоде, что указывает на риск развития правожелудочковой недостаточности при ВПС с высокой легочной гипертензией в раннем послеоперационном периоде.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:

There is a paucity of research comparing postoperative complication rates between manual total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA) and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA). This study aims to compare 90-day postoperative complication, readmission, and emergency department rates between RA-TKA and M-TKA.

Methods:

A retrospective review of a multihospital database identified patients who underwent TKA between January 2016 and May 2023. Surgeons who used the robotic-assisted surgery technique in <10% or >90% of their cases annually were excluded. This resulted in 15,999 cases (8,853 RA-TKAs; 7,146 M-TKAs) from 282 surgeons. RA-TKA and M-TKA cohorts were one-to-one matched based on patient sex, age, body mass index, hospital setting, surgeon experience, primary payer, and anesthesia type. Each cohort consisted of 7,146 patients (N = 14,292). 90-day revisits, specifically readmissions, readmissions with >23 hours of observation, and ED visit rates were compared between cohorts. Complications were classified according to the Clinical Classification Software schema and compared between cohorts. Mann-Whitney U, chi-squared, and Fisher exact tests, along with Bonferroni correction, were used to statistically compare cohorts.

Results:

All-cause 90-day readmission rates were 2.4% for RA-TKA and 2.6% for M-TKA (P = 0.36). RA-TKA had fewer revisits (RA-TKA: 7.8%; M-TKA: 8.8%, P = 0.027) and rates of readmission with >23 hours of observation (RA-TKA: 1.4%; M-TKA: 2.0%, P = 0.003). RA-TKA had fewer hospital revisits due to joint stiffness (RA-TKA: 17 revisits; M-TKA: 42 revisits, P = 0.002) and chronic pain (RA-TKA: 1 revisit; M-TKA: 8 revisits, P = 0.039). Fewer readmissions were observed for acute injuries (lower extremity muscle/tendon strains) in the RA-TKA cohort (RA-TKA: 1; M-TKA: 9, P = 0.021). RA-TKA had fewer ED visits due to hematomas (RA-TKA: 0 visits; M-TKA: 7 visits, P = 0.016).

Conclusion:

In this retrospective matched cohort analysis, RA-TKA was associated with markedly fewer revisits and readmissions with >23 hours of observation compared with M-TKA. No differences in all-cause 90-day readmission were observed between cohorts.

Published: July 2024

Uzay araştırmaları ve devletler arasındaki uzay yarışı 1960’lı yıllarda, dönemin iki büyük devleti olan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) ve Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki rekabetin dış uzaya da taşınması ile başlamış ve hızla iki devlet arasındaki rekabetin devam ettiği yeni bir alan hâline gelmiştir. Silahlanma yarışının uzaya da taşınması ihtimali ortaya çıkınca sorunun çözümü için bir orta yol bulunması adına alternatif diyalog kanallarına ihtiyaç duyulmaya başlanmıştır. İşte bu noktada ‘diplomasi’ akla ilk gelen çözüm yollarından birisi olmuştur. Çoğunlukla uluslararası ilişkiler ile birbirinin yerine ikame edilebilen bir terim olan diplomasi için uzay yeni bir alan olmuştur. Devletler arasındaki ilişkiler ve rekabetin uzaya taşınması ile uzay diplomasisi adı verilen yeni bir diplomasi türü de ortaya çıkmıştır. Uzay diplomasinin öncelikli amaçları uzay konusunda Birleşmiş Milletlerin de desteği ile hazırlanan ve imzalanan beş temel antlaşma ile belirlenmiştir. Bu antlaşmalar uzay hukukunun da temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu antlaşmalarla temel çerçevesi çizilen ve vurgu yapılan öncelikli konu ve kavramlar; uzayın tüm insanlığın ortak mirası olduğu (common heritage of mankind) ve uzayda hâkimiyet ve egemenlik iddiasında bulunulmamasının gerektiğidir. Bu sayede uzayın barışçı amaçlarla kullanımı ve uzayın askerîleşmesi ve silahlandırılmasının önlenmesi planlanmıştır. Diyalektik bir yöntem benimsenen bu çalışmada yeni gelişen Uzay Hukuku konusu ve ortaya çıkabilecek güvenlik problemlerine çözüm olabilecek diplomasi ile gelişen ilişkisine dikkat çekilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

A agricultura familiar e as metodologias sustentáveis de cultivo buscam formas de menor custo, maior praticidade, e eficiência sem o uso de defensivos químicos, promovendo a sustentabilidade. As caldas alternativas são uma ferramenta útil desenvolvida por agricultores, funcionando como uma tecnologia social eficiente. Este estudo teve como objetivo sistematizar o uso dessas caldas por agricultores familiares na horticultura. Os dados foram coletados considerando a comercialização e os tipos de hortaliças mais cultivadas. Por meio de questionários semiestruturados, foram realizadas entrevistas com agricultores em feiras livres de Viçosa-MG e em suas propriedades rurais. Os dados coletados e observações foram analisados para sistematizar a dinâmica do uso de caldas. Os resultados indicaram que as caldas alternativas mais usadas são a urina de vaca e os microrganismos eficientes, apesar da falta de uma regra técnica para sua aplicação. No entanto, o uso de defensivos químicos não foi completamente banido, sendo empregado quando necessário para controle urgente de pragas e doenças, enquanto as caldas são usadas preventivamente. As feiras livres são importantes para os pequenos agricultores estabelecerem contato direto com os consumidores e venderem seus produtos. Entre os agricultores entrevistados, 35,7% relataram o uso de caldas alternativas junto com produtos químicos, 40,5% usaram exclusivamente caldas alternativas, 11,9% não usaram nenhum produto, e 11,9% usaram apenas produtos químicos.
