Updates in Oral Management of Dehydration and Electrolyte Disturbance in Infants and Children: A Systematic Review
Authors: Alsayed Sarah Emad
Published: February 2024

Background: The ability of the first responder to identify and effectively treat hypovolemic shock will determine whether or not a child with severe volume depletion survives in the emergency room. Although the fundamentals of fluid and electrolyte therapy have been studied for decades, the issue is still difficult to resolve because there is no universally accepted therapeutic care approach. Objectives: This systematic review aims to study the updated management of dehydration and electrolyte disturbance in children and infants. Methods: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Results & interpretation: This review included a total of ten studies with 2285 patients, and 883 (38.6%) were males. According to this comprehensive study, home-based therapy and ORS were successful in straightforward instances. Other methods, such as ORS plus Xyloglucan and ORS with honeybee added, were secure and efficient in reducing the frequency of vomiting and diarrhea. The electrolyte balance and rehydration of the patients were improved by diluted apple juice, rehydration treatments, and preferred fluids. However, gelatin tannate proved ineffective for rehydrating the child, although it advised against ever stopping breastfeeding. Drugs like intravenous Metoclopramide and Domperidone demonstrated efficacy for treating pediatric dehydration in the event that ORS failed.

Published: February 2024

Among gastric malignancies, lymphomas rank as the second most common type, following gastric adenocarcinoma. The majority of gastric lymphomas are either mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas or diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma, is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, represents an exceptionally rare and aggressive malignancy, with only a limited number of reported cases globally. We present the case of a male patient with primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma revealed by digestive hemorrhage. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopy and gastric biopsies. The gastric localization of Burkitt's lymphoma is unusual. Our work is a review of the literature on Burkitt's lymphoma in its gastric localization.

Authors: Kadhum Ali Abd , Beden Murtada Wafi , Hameed Ahmad Shandookh
Published: February 2024

Background: The species of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial bacterium that increases the risk of multidrug-resistant infections, especially in vulnerable patients. The plant Piper cubeba, commonly referred to as cubeb or tailed pepper, it is specifically cultivated for its fruit and essential oil. The plant belongs to the genus Piper. The study aims at assessing the effectiveness of Piper cubeba extract against different P. aeruginosa strains that could produce biofilm and carry blaIMP gene. Method: Isolates from 85 samples (17 sputum, 40 urine and 28 diarrhea samples). Collected from Al Nasiriyah Teaching Hospital during the period of December 2021 to March 2022. Samples were cultivated using routine cultivation methods, catalase test, oxidase reaction, and the Api20E system were performed to identify P. aeruginosa. Results: Out of a total of 17 isolated samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 3 (17.64%) were from sputum, 6(35.29%) from urine, and 8 (47.05%) diarrhea samples. Out of 17 isolates 6 were sensitive in stool isolates 4 isolates were moderate sensitive and 7 isolates were resistance. Conclusion at concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/mL for Piper cubeba, respectively, the greatest MBC of plant extracts was noted. Also, all the isolates were capable of producing a biofilm by using presterilized 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates. Out of 17 isolates, 9 had a potent biofilm ability and the remaining 7 were moderate biofilm producers. Additionally, 7 of the isolates (41.17%) carried the blaIMP gene. Conclusion: Piper cubeba extract has potential as an antimicrobial agent against both sensitive and moderately resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This antimicrobial effect becomes more pronounced with an increase in the concentration of the extract. Additionally, Pseudomonas aeruginosa that produce biofilms tend to consistently produce more Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL), which can further contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Textual and Polyphonic Structures in Climate Change and COVID-19 Discourses: Macro- and Micro-Linguistic Analysis
Authors: Hamed Dalia
Published: February 2024

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) aims to present scientific material to policymakers and a huge audience with different educational backgrounds so that they may respond to the growing man-induced Climate Change (CC). IPCC releases Assessment Reports, Summaries for Policymakers (SPM) and scientific assessments to identify the latest knowledge about CC. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID-19 to be an international pandemic. WHO, accordingly, produces Situation Reports (SRs) about the COVID-19 epidemiological data. Being scientific documents about major two global issues, SPM and SRs are linguistically investigated. To render a comprehensive analysis of SPM and SRs discourses, macro- and micro-features of texts are considered. The analytical framework is bidimensional. Macro-textual features are inspired by the contributions of Van Dijk (1977, 1980); Van Dijk and Kintsch (1983); Kintsch and Van Dijk (1987) and Hamburger (1981). The analytical micro-level framework is founded on ScaPoLine polyphonists’ contributions: Nølke, Fløttum and Norén (2004). Findings illustrate SPM-SR differences at the macro- and micro-level. The study detects newly-used polyphonic items. It is concluded that CC and COVID-19 scientific discourses are polyphony-dependent, but multi-voicedness is a dominant feature in CC discourse.

Prevalence of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Associated Fibrosis Stages Among US Adults Using Imaging-Based vs Biomarker-Based Noninvasive Tests
Authors: Fishman Jesse , O'Connell Tom , Parrinello Christina M. , Woolley Jonathan J. , Bercaw Eric , Charlton Michael R.
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is believed to be the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Therapies are under development for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD, such that the prevalence of NASH with liver fibrosis, which is likely to require treatment, may be of interest to healthcare decision makers. Noninvasive tests are used in initial screening for NASH, as well as in observational studies of NASH prevalence. However, existing evidence does not address how estimated prevalence varies with different noninvasive tests. This analysis estimated the prevalence of NASH among US adults and assessed variation with different noninvasive tests.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using the 2017–March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycle. Participants with presumed NAFLD (steatosis and without alternative causes of liver disease) were identified, among whom NASH was predicted based on FAST score, Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and AST-to-Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) cutoffs across 11 scenarios. Among NASH participants, fibrosis stages were explored based on distribution across the spectrum of liver-stiffness measurements.

Results: Among participants with complete data for the analysis (N=6969), prevalence of presumed NAFLD was 25.6%. Within presumed NAFLD, prediction of NASH using imaging-based NIT cutoffs yielded estimated prevalence of 1.3%-4.8% (3.3 million-12.2 million) based on FAST score cutoffs from 0.35-0.67. Using biomarker-based NIT cutoffs yielded estimated prevalence of 0.4%-12.3% (1.0 million-14.5 million) based on FIB-4 cutoffs from 0.90-2.67, and 0.1%-1.9% (0.2-5.0 million) based on APRI cutoffs from 0.50-1.50.

Conclusion: Prevalence of NASH among US adults was estimated to range from 1.3% to 4.8% when predicted using imaging-based noninvasive test values for participants with presumed NAFLD, generally aligning with estimates in the literature of prevalence of biopsy-confirmed NASH. Use of biomarker-based noninvasive test values for prediction of NASH yielded a wider range of estimates with FIB-4, and a considerably lower range of estimates with APRI.

Published: February 2024

Объективное понимание ландшафта угроз является необходимым условием для выработки эффективных мер предотвращения компьютерных инцидентов или снижения негативных последствий в случае их наступления. В статье предлагается метод, который обеспечивает такое понимание для угроз, связанных с действиями политически мотивированных группировок (хактивистов). Метод основан на использовании информационных карт для визуализации сложных взаимосвязей между такими группами. В рамках описания метода определён процесс построения и анализа информационных карт, включающий сбор сведений о действиях хактивистов в публичном пространстве, формирование графа связей и размеченного ландшафта информационной карты, с помощью которых проводится анализ явных и скрытых зависимостей между группировками, их сообществами, а также атакуемыми объектами. С помощью информационных карт удобно осуществлять мониторинг за большим количеством источников и событий в рамках глобальных киберконфликтов, затрагивающих несколько сотен групп из различных стран и регионов. В результате информационно-картографического анализа активности группировок хактивистов могут быть заранее определены направления их атак, что позволяет своевременно повысить бдительность групп реагирования на инциденты и обеспечить координированное взаимодействие в информационном пространстве.

An objective understanding of the threat landscape is a prerequisite for developing effective measures to prevent computer incidents or reduce negative consequences in the event of their occurrence. The article proposes a method that provides such an understanding for threats related to the actions of politically motivated groups (hacktivists). The method is based on the use of information maps to visualize complex relationships between such groups. As part of the description of the method, the process of constructing and analyzing information maps is defined, including collecting information about the actions of hacktivists in public space, forming a graph of connections and a marked landscape of the information map, with the help of which the analysis of explicit and hidden dependencies between groups, their communities, as well as the attacked objects is carried out. With the help of information maps, it is convenient to monitor a large number of sources and events within the framework of global cyber conflicts affecting several hundred groups from different countries and regions. As a result of the infocartographic analysis of the activity of hacktivist groups, the directions of their attacks can be determined in advance, which makes it possible to increase the vigilance of incident response teams in a timely manner and ensure coordinated interaction in the information space.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Many unique pathologies, such as hyperinflammation and hypercoagulopathy, have been associated with Covid-19, resulting in critical illness and poor outcomes. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of the antioxidant glutathione, has a number of biological effects, including increasing antioxidant capacity, inhibiting viral replication, and suppressing the release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1????, which further reduces coagulopathy as measured by D-dimer and PADUA scores. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of NAC as an adjunctive therapy on the level of IL-1????, D-dimer and PADUA scores among Covid-19 patients. Method: A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent group, single-center study included 91 hospitalized confirmed Covid-19 patients by RT-PCR, 75 patients received standard of care plus 5000 mg/72 hours of NAC and 16 patients received standard of care without NAC. On the first and eighth days of treatment, IL-1????, D-dimer levels, and PADUA scores were measured by ELISA and quantitative-assay methods. Data analysis used were Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test, and Spearman-rho correlation test. Result: After the eighth day of therapy, the NAC group had a statistically significantly reduction in IL-1????(pg/mL) (1,48[-4,23-6,68] vs -0,43[-3,40-2,0], p=0.03) and D-dimer(µg/mL) (0,75[-5,98-6,45] vs -0,03[-8,07-1,00], p<0,001) levels than the control group, but not in PADUA scores (1,05[0-3] vs 0,94[0-1], p=0,458). In a subanalysis of NAC's group, IL-1???? was found to be quite strongly correlated with D-dimer (r=0,508, p<0,001). Conclusion: Our findings show that supplementary NAC reduces hyperinflammation and hypercoagulopathy in Covid-19 patients by suppressing IL-1???? and lowering D-dimer, and thus could be used as a supplement to Covid-19 therapy.

Practice-led research has a long history in ethnomusicology and is currently reconsidered in many academic contexts all over the world. There has not been much literature written on the effects that a long-term active immersion in the music culture investigated can have on the “researched”, the “researcher” and the “research” itself. I experienced some of these effects as a native Italian who spent seven years learning, performing and researching in Java, Indonesia. I conducted my research led by the practice, inspired by the bi-musicality approach. Learning, performing and researching are approaches interrelated with each other and determine some interesting developments of investigation, not only within the research context, but in the research methodology itself. In this paper, I discuss the pros and cons of the practice-led research experience within the Javanese singing framework, considering the following specific aspects—new teaching strategies adopted by Javanese teachers to transmit knowledge to a foreign researcher; challenges encountered by a foreign singer on a shadow puppet theatre stage; the way in which local artists and audience take part in the research process and how the fieldwork might affect the researcher’s mentality and shape her/his approach. This article reflects on new outcomes produced by the encounter of practice and research, opening a debate about the possible collaborations and methodological exchanges between teachers, artists and researchers. It suggests that performing and understanding music should be heard and be included in the debate based on personal experience as performer and researcher.
Ngemong Raos: Aesthetic Leadership Role of Panjak Juru Kendhang in Javanese Gamelan
Authors: Animawan Afriza , Koentjoro Koentjoro
Published: February 2024

The leadership of the Javanese gamelan is handled by a panjak juru kendhang (kendhang player). Although this player is the leader of this ensemble, his function is distinct from that of a conductor in a Western symphony orchestra. Psychological studies on leadership in music have examined the function of conductors in Western symphony orchestras. However, leadership in gamelan ensembles have yet to be explored. This study aims to examine leadership in Javanese gamelan ensembles. This study involved nine informants consisting of three main informants who are panjak juru kendhang, three informants who are pengrawit (gamelan players), and three expert informants who were academicians and gamelan experts. Qualitative methodology, i.e., the phenomenological method, was applied and interpreted through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Our findings on gamelan leadership is elaborated within four cycles of aesthetic leadership called ngemong raos (soul nurturing) which include sensitivity of niteni (observing), decision-making, gotong royong (egalitarian tasks), and the building a raos.
Developing Musical Sensitivity and Creativity through Various Forms of Play Activities

Published: February 2024

This paper presents the potential of various play activities in developing learner’s musical sensitivity and creativity. The K to12 music education curriculum guide of the Philippine Department of Education advocates the use of experiential learning and outcome-based learning in the classroom. One of the ways in which these methodologies can be promoted is by engaging learners in various play activities. However, there is a lack of literature showing the impact of such methodologies on Filipino learners. Using a priori deductive method, data from a series of interviews, observations, and video and picture analysis from this ethnographic case research were analysed to determine the implications of play activities in classroom music education. The interlocutors of the study are selected Ilonggo children, their parents, and some teachers. This study sought to answer the question of how can play activities be beneficial to classroom music education. Findings suggest that play activities can be a learning tool for the holistic development of the learners. Various forms of play activities provide an avenue for the learners to think or imagine situations divergently and have meaningful musical experiences as they portray various roles. Therefore, play activities provide the learners with a holistic learning experience and the agency to develop their musical sensitivity and creativity.

Energy Efficiency Analysis of Coupled Thermal Radiation and Free Convection within a Square Enclosure with Internal Heating
Authors: Mazgar Akram , Hajji Fadhila , Nejma Faycal Ben
Published: February 2024

This study explores the simultaneous impact of thermal radiation and free convection within a square cavity featuring internal heating. The walls are consistently held at a stable temperature through isothermal cooling, while an internal heat source sustains a consistently higher temperature. The radiation component is characterized by employing the FT40 discrete-ordinate approximation in conjunction with the statistical narrow-band correlated-k method (SNBcK). The primary focus lies in discerning the influences of radiation on both flow patterns and heat transfer. Particular emphasis is placed on investigating energy efficiency and its correlations with key governing parameters, including the heat source temperature, wall emissivity, and the size and placement of the heater. A noteworthy revelation from this analysis is the substantial impact of radiation on the acceleration of vortices, leading to a homogenizing impact on temperature distributions. Additionally, it is observed that the highest level of energy efficiency is realized by siting the heater at the central lower section of the enclosure.

One-step injection molding compounding (IMC) is an innovative process to manufacture short-fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The aim of combining compounding and injection molding into one process is to enhance component quality and minimize environmental impacts. In this study, a screening Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is conducted to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of the IMC process with standard two-step manufacturing. Two scenarios for the IMC are considered, each differing in terms of machinery requirements, energy consumption, and material usage. Mechanically recycled polypropylene and glass fiber are used, and considered in the LCA employing a simple cut-off approach without awarding credits for substituting (primary) materials. The functional unit is the composite produced via the respective process, assuming equal functionality. Inventory data are obtained from initial experiments, literature, and the ecoinvent database. The impact assessment method selected is ReCiPe2016. Results indicate that the environmental performance improvement achieved by the IMC compared to the reference process is minimal in the conservative scenario where energy and material usage can be reduced but machinery usage is increased. However, in an optimistic scenario, the IMC can reduce the impacts of composite manufacturing by 34 %. The contributions at the midpoint level vary, and metal usage and energy consumption are the main contributors in all scenarios. A variation of the energy source for manufacturing shows the dependency of environmental impacts of components produced in both processes on the geographical location of production and its electricity supply. Methodological choices, such as the definition of the functional unit and modeling of recycled materials, have a large influence on LCA results, and alternative options are discussed.

Published: February 2024

From the day communication started and messages being transmitted and received from one endpoint to another, security was always a concern. And nowadays this is not different from the old ages. In the era of IOT and V2X technology, communication protocols must be safe and secured and the traditional communication approaches like using CAN, LIN and Flexray will be hard to be integrated with IOT systems. Modern approaches are introduced for IOT integration through Ethernet, one of the most used approaches nowadays for vehicle communication is Service Oriented Communication which is represented by several protocols. One of protocols designed by AUTOSAR community is Service Oriented Middleware over Internet Protocol known as SOME/IP. After Surveying Service Oriented Communication, we propose a solution that adds security features to vanilla SOME/IP that prevents possible Denial of Service attacks. In this paper, we will survey the current solution used and tested and compare it with our proposal.

Paraphilia Induced Suicide: A Case Report
Authors: Ashok Kumar Rastogi
Published: February 2024

Paraphilia is a term used to describe different sexual deviations involving unconventional methods of sexual gratification. Paraphili as indulged in abnormal and orthodox sex play by using objects as parts of the body or fantasies in which complete satisfaction is sought and obtained without sexual intercourse. Perversions are acts that are socially prohibited or unacceptable, or biologically undesirable. In sexual paraphilia, usually, person psychopaths suffer from mental aberrations and conflicts, socio-sexual maladjustments, psychosexual imbalance, and abnormalities. Paraphilia-induced suicide is a type of anomic suicide, and anomic suicide is due to a lack of social regulation that occurs during high levels of stress and frustration. Paraphilia may induce suicide even though paraphilia is not punishable. It is just due to fear of social defamation and social taboo. Case presentation: A 59-year-old male committed suicide on the railway track, and thenthe body was sent to the mortuary room for an autopsy examination. History was taken from the police and relatives. He was a widower for the last 15 years. Conclusions: Paraphilia is the form of the insertion of foreign bodies in the rectum, and when a person cannot remove foreign bodies himself, attending a hospital is very humiliating. To prevent the social integrity or selfesteem, the person committed suicide. Where this type of paraphilia is not listed as a crime in India, for sexual gratification, a person may use it by any means, which may be natural or unnatural form. Many unnatural forms of paraphilia are used by many people, which is not punishable. Sexual gratification is done by most of normal people and a few abnormal psychiatric people by any sexual perversion. All paraphilia that is not punishable by the law should not be considered a social taboo.

Medico-legal cases are pivotal in the pursuit of justice for victims and the accused. It is essential for medical professionals to be well-versed in the intricacies of medico-legal cases to ensure that they follow the procedures of the law of the land diligently. Understanding the patterns of medico-legal cases in a specific region can assist government authorities in devising strategies to prevent such incidents. This study was conducted at a rural tertiary care teaching hospital over a span of seven months, from January to July 2023, and examined 139 medicolegal cases. The age group of 21 to 40 years, predominantly comprising males, emerged as the most affected demographic in our study. Road traffic accidents were the predominant cause of medico-legal cases, with head injuries being the most frequently observed. Understanding the demographics and injury patterns of medico-legal cases in this rural area serves as a foundation for tailoring medical care and legal interventions to the specific needs of the community. By continuing to investigate and analyze medico-legal cases, healthcare providers and law enforcement agencies can work collaboratively to not only address the immediate medical needs of victims but also to develop proactive strategies to minimize the occurrence of such cases and improve overall community well-being.
