Authors: Muhammad Karwan Sabah , Al-Tamimi Ali Abdalnabi Alwan
Published: November 2024

Background and Objectives: Diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna are common in adults and can be managed with various treatment methods. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the functional, radiological, and clinical outcomes of two treatment methods: plating and intramedullary nailing for diaphyseal fractures of both forearm bones in adults. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Sulaimani City, Kurdistan, involving 40 adult patients (mean age 34.25 years) who sustained primary diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna between January 1, 2022, and June 1, 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A, with 20 patients, underwent closed reduction and internal fixation using flexible intramedullary nailing, while Group B, also with 20 patients, underwent open reduction and internal fixation using 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate. Outcomes were assessed using the Modified Grace Eversmann score, with pronation and supination of the forearm compared to the contralateral side. Results: The mean operation time was 81.4 minutes for the plating group, compared to 62.5 minutes for the nailing group. The mean union time was 13.15 and 10.85 weeks for the plating and nailing groups, respectively. In terms of functional outcomes, 27 patients achieved Excellent scores, 9 Good, 3 acceptable, and 1 unacceptable. Complications occurred in 5 patients in the nailing group and 2 in the plating group. Overall, the union and operation times showed a statistically significant difference, with a higher complication rate in the nailing group. Conclusion: Adults with diaphyseal radius and ulna fractures are usually treated with plating. An alternate fixation method for fracture with distinct risk and benefit profile is intramedullary nailing.

Authors: Nunsavathu Sambasiva Naik , Rajaganapathy Dr. K.
Published: November 2024

Sitagliptin and gliclazide are the active ingredients in OpdualagTM. A highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin is thought to work in type 2 diabetics by delaying the inactivation of incretin hormones, which increases their concentration and lengthens their duration of effect. Sulfonyl urea mostly enhances insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells by inhibiting ATP-sensitive K+ channels, leading to depolarisation and Ca2+ influx. Reduced serum glucagon levels and enhanced insulin binding to receptors and target tissues are the mechanisms by which it exerts its effects. Objective: This study aims to create and evaluate an RP-UPLC technique for the detection of sitagliptin and gliclazide in pharmaceutical products by applying AQbD principles. Method: Findings By utilising the Design-expert® programme, we were able to execute a central composite design (CCD) consisting of three components arranged in five distinct layers, which greatly improved the chromatographic conditions. One method that oversees the whole analytical procedure life cycle—from method design and optimisation to validation and continual improvement—is Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD). Results: The retention times for sitagliptin were 1.269 minutes and for gliclazide they were 1.572 minutes. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) for Sitagliptin and Gliclazide were 0.19 µg/mL, 0.56 µg/mL, 0.28 µg/mL, and 0.86 µg/mL respectively. The recovery percentages for sitagliptin and gliclazide were found to be 99.15% to 100.54% and 99.93% to 100.58%, respectively. Both drugs were found to be susceptible to oxidative and photolytic breakdown in the forced degradation studies. Conclusions A novel RP-UPLC method has been developed for the quantitative detection of sitagliptin and gliclazide in pharmaceutical formulations, utilising the AQbD-based methodology. This approach is straightforward, rapid, precise, particular, and stable-indicating.

Authors: Ramírez-Morales Karina , Brugué Marta Sadurní , Ramírez-Morales Iván
Published: November 2024

The adult's sensitivity to the child's communicative signals, their prompt and appropriate response to the child's needs for security, protection, and comfort, along with their ability to regulate emotions in the face of childhood stress, are parenting skills associated with attachment quality. Various instruments and observation scales code these constructs. Furthermore, developmental psychology has made significant contributions regarding the affective and communicative exchanges between parents and children during early stages of life and their implications for the formation of emotional bonds. The objective of this study is to describe the development and preliminary analysis of a new observation scale called: Quality of Interaction and Secure Attachment Potential (CIPAS), which aims to simply integrate the different parameters of the interactive relationship between attachment figures and children in early childhood. The construction process and initial psychometric analyses from a pilot sample are presented. The results showed very high inter-rater reliability, with an overall kappa value of κ=0.88. The relevance of CIPAS is discussed not only as a valuable tool for developmental psychology research but also as an effective instrument to guide educational practices in promoting secure attachment and quality interaction in young children.

Authors: Mondal Dr. Monami Mukherjee
Published: November 2024

Objective: The study aims to clarify the protective effects of Amaranthus dubius (AD) in penicillin (PCN)-induced experimental epilepsy models in rats. Method: In this study, twenty-four adult male Wistar albino rats, each weighing between 200-250 grams, were utilized. The rats were allocated into four groups: a control group, an Amaranthus dubius (AD) treated control group, a PCN-induced experimental epileptic rat model group, and an AD pretreated PCN-induced experimental epileptic rat model group. All groups were administered a daily oral dosage of 400 mg/kg body weight of AD aqueous leaf extract for fourteen days via an orogastric cannula. For the experimental epileptic model, PCN was injected into designated areas of the somatosensory cortex. On the concluding fifteenth day, subsequently, the rats were humanely euthanized. Tissue specimens from the cerebral cortex (CC), cerebellum (CB), caudate nucleus (CN), pons and medulla (PM), and midbrain (MB) were extracted, measured, and homogenized to facilitate subsequent biochemical analyses. Result: Pretreatment with AD has demonstrated significant changes in the levels of antioxidants and neurotransmitters in the brain. Conclusion: Amaranthus Dubius aids in combating multi-neurotransmitter deficiencies and enhances the body's antioxidant capabilities.

Published: November 2024

Sports form a continuous part of any culture, created and sustained for entertainment, pleasure, competition and bonding; founded on certain standards, interests, requirements, and resources of the sports community. Yet, the classification of some sports as ‘elite’ goes unrecognised simply because it appears to be natural and moreover it is always ‘how things are’. Traditional theories of class indicate that economic differentiation is the reason for various choices in the society. On the other hand Bourdieu has suggested that economic capital is not the only element influencing one’s choice and there are other multiple non-economic criteria too. Taking into account Bourdieu’s class concepts we seek to identify the non-economic factors that have led sportspersons in India to their choice of sport. Narrative analysis is performed for autobiographies of two female sportspersons, Saina Nehwal and Mary Kom, to highlight the different parameters that have influenced their choice of sport. The identification of such non-economic factors like a person’s mental strength, level of angst, resilience, emotional and financial well-being, and others, provide insight into the stratifications that impact sports culture in India.
Slavery as a Social Institution Gleaned from Tarisappalli Copper Plates
Authors: Reghunath Keerthi , Muthukumar Dr. J.
Published: November 2024

Slavery as a universal social evil had its origins in time immemorial. Slavery was a part of the social life of Kerala society until the second half of the nineteenth century. According to the mythical story embodied in Keralolpathi, Parasurama reclaimed Kerala from the Ocean by throwing his axe. On this divine gift of the Arabian Sea, Parasurama settled the Brahmins as the lords and brought the indigenous people as cultivators and enslaved people. The story is indicative of the origin of agrestic slavery in the land. Several documents discovered from various parts of Kerala throw light on the existence of slavery in Kerala. The first inscriptional evidence of slavery as a social institution in Kerala belongs to the ninth century (AD 849). It is named the Tarisappalli Copper Plate, Syrian Christian Copper Plate, and Kollam Copper Plate. This inscription is the only document from ancient Kerala that gives proper knowledge about the existence of ‘Adimakasu’ or slave levy. The Venad Raja Ayyan Adikal Tiruvadikal granted certain privileges to the Nasranis or the Syrian Christians of Quilon. The institution of slavery existed among the Syrian Christians, and the origin of the slave levy can be traced from these copper plates. The Tarisappalli plates are, of course, not only crucial for the Syrian Christians of Kerala but hold an essential position in the history of Kerala because it is one of the oldest records with detailed evidence of the existence of slavery and also about the extensive trade with Arabs, Portuguese, Persians, and Jews. This article attempts to trace the institution of slavery from the early records of the Tarisappalli copper plate.

Authors: Nookala Havisha , Prasad Arya S
Published: November 2024

Detecting alveolar bone fenestrations and dehiscences before orthodontic treatment is imperative due to their potential implications. These defects can contribute to gingival recession and diminish the support structure of canine teeth. Failure to recognize buccal alveolar bone issues increases the risk of treatment relapse.The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of alveolar bony dehiscence and fenestration in adults with buccally positioned canines. Thirty individuals aged between 18 and 35 undergoing orthodontic treatment in the Department of Orthodontics in the institution were chosen randomly for this study. Their CBCT records were obtained from the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, S******* Dental College and Hospital. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Version 23. The chi-square test was employed to explore the relationship between fenestrations, dehiscences, and gender. It was observed that 40% of females had dehiscence, while 36% of males exhibited this condition. Fenestrations were present in 35% of males and 40% of females. In the context of this study's limitations, a statistically significant relationship was found regarding dehiscence width among females (p=0.019, p<0.05), highlighting a heightened vulnerability compared to males. Conversely, the association of fenestration prevalence between males and females did not reach statistical significance (p=0.178, p>0.05). These findings suggest that females may have a greater propensity for bony alveolar dehiscence and fenestration relative to males.

Published: November 2024

The silver lining between judicial independence and judicial accountability in judicial appointments is the creation of an independent and transparent process that balances the need for judicial independence with the need for judicial accountability. Such a process would ensure that judges are appointed based on their qualifications and merit, while also providing ongoing evaluation and review of their performance to maintain public confidence in the legal system. This paper neither criticizes NJAC nor supports the current collegium system; rather it attempts to bring out a neutral judicial commission. In that reference, judicial commissions across the world have been examined. Being a developing country, India can learn from the pitfalls in judicial commissions of developed countries.

Authors: Pamulaparthyvenkata Saigurudatta , Jacobs Steve
Published: November 2024

In the fast-changing environment of value-based healthcare, providers must prepare and submit diagnosis files for patients to payers with ever-changing requirements from CMS for contracts. Changing specifications from payers repeatedly requires a flexible system to automatically process items with little reliance on human intervention. It provides a scalable data engineering framework that makes use of PySpark and Apache Airflow to automate and streamline the generation of patient diagnosis files. Its design allows it to be dynamically adapted to changes in specifications, which enhances both operational efficiency and compliance with the automation of complex data transformation processes and large-scale data processing. This framework not only optimizes the reimbursement process but also strengthens the foundations of value-based care by supporting improved patient outcomes and ensuring financial alignment with payer requirements through improving accuracy, timeliness, and reducing manual coding efforts. The proposed framework significantly enhances data processing speed, achieving a 50% reduction in processing time compared to the traditional ETL approach. It offers scalability improvements, allowing data handling from 1 TB to 5 TB—an increase of four times the previous limit—while minimizing manual effort through automation with Airflow, resulting in a 70% reduction in manual intervention.

Authors: Bose Piyali , Sharma Dr. Rahul
Published: November 2024

Background: The cancer journey is a complex and emotionally challenging experience for both children diagnosed with cancer and their parents. Understanding the perspectives of both groups can provide critical insights into improving care, psychological support, and overall quality of life during treatment and survivorship. Objectives: This systematic review aims to synthesize existing literature on the perspectives of both pediatric cancer patients and their parents throughout the cancer trajectory, focusing on emotional, psychological, and social aspects. It seeks to highlight key themes and identify gaps in research for potential future studies. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, C.I.N.A.H.L., PsycINFO, and Scopus for studies published between 2013 and 2023. Eligible studies included those addressing pediatric patients with cancer, their parents, and their experiences during diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment phases. The studies were critically appraised using the P.R.I.S.M.A. guidelines, and thematic analysis was applied to extract key findings. Results: A total of 6 studies met the inclusion criteria, revealing both parents and children experience anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, especially during diagnosis and treatment initiation. Parental distress often mirrors or exceeds the child’s emotional challenges. Parents seek clear and transparent communication with healthcare providers, while children often desire age-appropriate information about their condition and treatment. Parents and children adopt a range of coping mechanisms, including reliance on healthcare professionals, family support, and religious or spiritual beliefs. Parents express concern about the long-term impact of treatment on the child's health, education, and social life. Pediatric patients often focus on maintaining normalcy, friendships, and school participation during treatment. Both groups emphasize the importance of emotional and psychological support from healthcare teams, family, and peer support networks during the cancer journey. Conclusion: The review underscores the profound emotional and psychological burden of cancer on both pediatric patients and their parents. Effective communication, individualized support systems, and addressing the unique needs of both parties are critical for improving overall well-being during the cancer trajectory. Further research is needed to explore interventions that can mitigate distress and enhance coping strategies for parents and children.

Authors: Sati Abhilasha , Gaurav Kumar
Published: November 2024

This research article investigates the multifaceted concept of sisterhood within feminist theory and literature, emphasising its role as a symbol of the collective struggle against patriarchal oppression. It explores different aspects of women's shared experiences and collective action with various labels encompassing sister-friends, comadres (co-mothers, allomothers), sworn sisters, hermanas del alma (sisters of the soul), and numerous others. First-wave feminists popularised the term to promote unity among women, intending to address personal, political, and gender-related issues. This paper explores the theme of sisterhood in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Sister of My Heart and Mistress of Spices, examining how these novels serve as a powerful catalyst in female relationships. The analysis uncovers the profound significance that everyday objects and our surroundings can hold, symbol-ising the characters' emotional transformations and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood through semiotics. Additionally, the analysis enhances our comprehension of the novels and provides a broader outlook on the emotional support and companionship in female friendships, emphasising their positive impact on women's overall well-being.

Published: November 2024

El estudio aborda el desafío procedimental existente frente a la manera de afrontar la vulnerabilidad y baja gobernanza de los páramos. Los propósitos de la investigación se enfocan en formular una alternativa de gobernanza ambiental social y económica para el desarrollo sostenible de ecosistemas estratégicos y aplicar dicha propuesta en el páramo El Almorzadero, ubicado en los departamentos de Santander y Norte de Santander. La estructura metodológica de tipo exploratorio, de tipo mixto y de corte transversal permitió generar una herramienta de investigación aplicada que cuenta con un soporte conceptual y una estructura secuencial. A su vez, la aplicación de la alternativa propuesta en el páramo El Almorzadero posibilitó la identificación de potencialidades y conflictos ambientales, sociales y económicos, relacionados con explotación minera y avance de la frontera ganadera y agrícola en el páramo. También facultó la definición de directrices estratégicas para minimizar el impacto humano en el páramo El Almorzadero. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian la fragilidad de los ecosistemas estratégicos, la aplicabilidad del instrumento diseñado y la posibilidad de contribuir a la gobernanza ambiental y socioeconómica del páramo.

La exposición a altos niveles de ruido tiene un impacto significativo en el comportamiento humano. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en analizar el impacto en la producción científica relacionada con las conductas agresivas de los motociclistas asociados al ruido generado por las motocicletas, a través de un análisis bibliométrico durante el período comprendido entre 2003 y 2023. Los resultados resaltan las palabras clave más recurrentes: “noise pollution”, “traffic noise”, “road traffic” y “behavioral research”. La mayoría de los artículos se encuentran en las categorías de calidad de investigación Q1 y Q2. Entre los autores más influyentes se encuentran figuras como Calvo JA, Amini H y Barber Jr, mientras que los países que más han contribuido en este campo son el Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y España. Además, el análisis factorial logró identificar dos dimensiones principales. La primera dimensión está relacionada con el ruido ambiental, la psicología y la contaminación, mientras que la segunda dimensión se centra en el ruido del tráfico urbano y el transporte. Se concluye que existe un creciente interés en investigar las conductas agresivas de los conductores de motocicletas relacionadas con el ruido, especialmente entre la población joven. Este fenómeno es relevante en contextos urbanos de países con desigualdades sociales, donde la expansión de la industria automotriz y el uso generalizado de motocicletas como medio de transporte y fuente de ingresos se ven exacerbados por su accesibilidad y bajos costos.
