Exclusive breastfeeding, food preparation, and food sanitation are part of parental care patterns that also influence the occurrence of stunting. Stunting is a condition of impaired growth in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition, particularly during the first 1000 days of life. The issue of stunting in toddlers indicates chronic nutritional problems, influenced by many factors including the condition of the mother, the intranatal period, infancy or toddlerhood, and illnesses suffered during toddlerhood, as well as other issues that indirectly affect health. The purpose of this research is to explain and provide an understanding and interpretation of the internal dimension, namely the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding for toddlers in Jombang District. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted at the Health Office of Jombang Regency, East Java, and Mayangan Health Center. A total of 3 key informants, 11 mothers of toddlers as the main informants, and 1 supporting informant were selected purposively and by snowball sampling. Data collection was done using interviews, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach. The results of the study indicate that parental education level, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) are among the factors causing stunting in Jombang Regency, East Java. The impact unrelated to the occurrence of stunting is parental occupation.

Published: December 2024

The Kubu Raya landfill uses an open dumping system in its operations. (This method is no longer recommended for use in Indonesia).  In this research, we describe the conditions surrounding the Kubu Raya TPA using observational methods and interviews with a descriptive approach. We describe landfill operations, infrastructure and facilities, daily waste volume, Kubu Raya landfill resources, remaining land, and service life. We also discuss future landfill land needs. The Kubu Raya landfill uses an open dumping system and does not practice vector control. The leachate collection facilities don't function, and the landfill's existing facilities and infrastructure need improvement. We have 270 m3 of waste entering Kubu Raya landfill each day, with a workforce of 37. The landfill covers 270 ha, and its remaining service life is approximately 300.84 days. In Kubu Raya Regency, it is necessary to consider adding 14.6 ha of land or building a new landfill. We need vector control efforts, infrastructure improvements, and considerations for additional land to make Kubu Raya TPA's waste management more environmentally friendly and efficient.

Authors: Rodrigues Liebert Bernardo
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é divulgar os resultados da pesquisa sobre o conjunto de 51 mapas publicados no jornal O Globo sobre as Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPPs) entre os anos de 2009 e 2016. As UPPs, implementadas em 2008 como uma política de segurança pública no Rio de Janeiro, foram amplamente criticadas por diversos trabalhos acadêmicos devido a casos de violência policial e interesses econômicos associados à valorização imobiliária e grandes eventos esportivos. O estudo foca na análise dos mapas e do contexto discursivo em que estão inseridos, problematizando a representação da favela pela mídia hegemônica pelo viés do crime e da violência. A pesquisa envolveu a coleta sistemática de notícias e mapas no acervo do jornal, gerando dados quantitativos que revelaram padrões na utilização dos mapas no noticiário sobre as UPPs. Na análise qualitativa, baseada nos pressupostos teóricos e conceituais da cartografia crítica, buscou-se interpretar os silêncios e hierarquias visuais destes mapas a partir dos seus elementos pictóricos decorativos e símbolos cartográficos figurativos. Os resultados indicaram que o discurso de guerra associado às UPPs impulsionou a publicação de mapas nas páginas do referido jornal, indicando também uma mudança na forma de representação das favelas em mapas jornalísticos, que passaram de áreas associadas ao crime e às facções criminosas para zonas de intervenção estatal com forte presença policial. O presente trabalho produz um ponto de vista acadêmico sobre como veículos midiáticos de grande porte se apropriam de mapas para construir narrativas espaciais sobre territórios historicamente criminalizados e estigmatizados.

Prospek Penjagaan Kesihatan Mental Berdasarkan ‎Perspektif Al-Ḥakīm ‎Al-Tirmidhī Dalam Kitab Riyāḍah Al-Nafs
Authors: KAMARUL ZAMAN RAHIM
Published: December 2024

The reality of mental health is a complex matter. In modern medicine, the measurement of mental health is subjective due to the limitations of the human ability to understand the actualisation of the soul. However, a review of mental health discourse in Islamic civilisation displays a holistic and dynamic perspective. Thus, this study is presented to discuss the prospects of mental health care based on the perspective of al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī [W320H] in the work Riyāḍah al-Nafs. ‎Al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī is recognised as the earliest hadith scholar who featured a specific discourse on mental health through a Sufism approach. Based on the thematic textual analysis method, this qualitative study examines 32 discourses of soul entry discussed by al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī in his work Riyāḍah al-Nafs. The study found that al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī has successfully presented the dynamism of spiritual functions as the core of mental and physical health. Among the main perspectives presented is the need to control the human soul's desires, actions and behaviour, centring on excessive pleasure. According to him, the matter is an obstacle to peace of mind and mental health. This study found his perspective to be significant with the concept of controlling excess dopamine hormones that can affect mental health. In conclusion, the contribution of al-‎Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī as early as the 3rd century Hijrah through the work of Riyāḍah al-Nafs ‎should be recognised as a pioneering reference for the development of the psychospiritual field today. ‎
A case of unilateral koilonychia with rapid response to combined treatment with vitamin B12 and folic acid
Authors: Özaslan Metin
Published: December 2024

Introduction
Koilonychia, also called spoon-shaped nail, is a nail deformity characterized by concavity of the nail plate. Its diagnosis is based on clinical findings. Koilonychia can be idiopathic, genetic, or acquired due to related causes such as anemia, malnutrition, trauma, or thyroid hormone dysregulation.
Case
A 20-year-old woman presented with deformity of the nails on her right hand for 2 weeks. The patient stated that her hands had been intermittently exposed to chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite 5.25%) for household cleaning for about 3 months. Dermatologic examination revealed thinning, fragility, concavities in the distal part of the nails, and orangish discoloration in the second to fifth nails on the right hand. These findings were compatible with koilonychia. Examination of the left-hand nails was normal. A vitamin B12 level of less than 100 ng/L and folate level of 3.59 ng/mL were detected. A clinical diagnosis of sodium hypochlorite–induced koilonychia was made. The patient was recommended to stop contact with chlorinated bleach and to stop household cleaning. The following medications were started: 1000 mcg/ml cyanocobalamin administered by intramuscular injection once a week and 5 mg/day folic acid administered orally. No topical treatment was applied to the nails. After 1 month, it was observed that the koilonychia regressed.
Discussion
Our case is valuable in terms of the association of vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies with unilateral koilonychia and the rapid improvement of koilonychia due to vitamin B12 and folic acid replacement. In conclusion, this preliminary observation suggests the need to check vitamin B12 and folic acid levels in patients with unilateral koilonychia and that replacement of these vitamins in cases of deficiency may be part of the treatment for koilonychia.
Relationship Between Autism Spectrum Disorder And The Brain-Gut Axis
Authors: Özdengül Faik , Karakuş Doğan Behiye Nur
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
All of the microorganisms that live in the intestines are called the microbiota. Metabolites and molecules produced by the microbiota can affect the nervous system and help regulate how the brain works. Communication between the gut and the brain is mediated by the microbiota, the brain-gut axis. There is some evidence to suggest that changes in the microbiota may be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is also thought that changes in the microbiota may have an impact on brain function.
Studies show that there is an altered microbiota profile in individuals with ASD compared to the normal population. Individuals with autism may have different gut microbiota communities and reduced overall microbiota diversity. However, whether these changes cause or result from autism has not yet been fully established.
Research into the causes and treatment of ASDs continues, and this area of research has promising potential and may contribute to the development of new treatment approaches for individuals with ASDs in the future.

Research on Stock Price Prediction based on the GWO-LSTM-ATT Model
Authors: Yan Pengjia
Published: December 2024

To address the challenge of deep learning models becoming trapped in local optima and to enhance prediction accuracy in stock price forecasting, this study proposes a stock prediction model that utilizes the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm to optimize the Long Short-Term Memory with Attention Mechanism (LSTM-ATT). The GWO algorithm is employed to fine-tune the hyperparameters of the LSTM-ATT model, thereby identifying the optimal hyperparameter configuration necessary for constructing a high-accuracy stock prediction model. Experimental results indicate that for 5-step, 10-step, and 20-step predictions, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of the GWO-LSTM-ATT model is reduced by 61.33%, 77.06%, and 89.28%, respectively, in comparison to the LSTM-ATT model. The GWO-LSTM-ATT model not only effectively mitigates the issue of local optima but also offers a novel perspective and a robust tool for enhancing the accuracy and stability of stock price predictions.

The application of fertilizer aims to maximize crop yields and provide essential nutrients to plants. Efficiency problems, decreased yields, and environmental impact can result from nitrogen loss by volatilization and leaching. The delayed release of nitrogen can be achieved by coating urea with biodegradable compounds. The influence of several polymer-coated urea formulations and standard urea on nitrogen availability to okra plants was investigated in this study using lab and pot assessments. Key parameters were determined using soil samples taken at a depth of 15 cm. In the lab incubation, control, conventional urea, starch polymer-coated urea, neem oil-coated urea, and acacia gum-coated urea treatments were examined over 35 days. Soil samples were collected and examined on particular days. Okra plants were grown up to the flag leaf stage in the pot experiment using the same treatments. Data analysis demonstrated higher ammonium-nitrate and nitrate nitrogen concentrations in soils treated with polymer-coated urea, with acacia gum-coated urea exhibiting the slowest release. As release rates varied over time, nitrogen levels increased. Polymer-coated urea reduced ammonium loss, increased nutrient absorption, and boosted plant growth when compared to conventional urea. Urea with acacia gum coating functioned remarkably well, leading to increased nitrogen absorption. In conclusion, biodegradable polymer-coated urea increases nitrogen usage efficiency, decreasing losses and enhancing plant development, particularly when combined with acacia gum-coated urea. The results have practical significance for agricultural sustainability and the preservation of the environment.

News agencies connect global events to local communities. It plays a pivotal role in influencing public opinion. Thus, the necessity arises to recognize news article’s sentiment. The purpose of this paper is to analyze sentiment for English and Arabic news articles in terms of positivity, negativity, or neutrality. Analyzing the articles of Arabic and English news can be challenging from the perspective of morphology. In this paper, we introduce 4 Machine Learning methods, including Logistic Regression (LR), k Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forests (RF) and Naive Bayes (NB), with the TF-IDF as the feature extraction. The study was validated using 2 data sets (BBC, SANAD Arabic news), and two learning models (Hold out and 10-fold cross-validation). The evaluation was based on; Accuracy (ACC), Precision (PREC), Recall (REC), F1-score (F1), and The Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) where it shows an outstanding performance for ML on a 10-fold strategy. The experiments provided in the paper indicated that the proposed ML models achieved the best results.

Earnings act as a measure of a company's performance and are frequently associated with tactics related to managing earnings. This causal study seeks to investigate how deferred tax expenses, tax planning, and firm size affect earnings management practices. The study sample encompasses 13 food and beverage industries in the Indonesian capital market from 2018 to 2022. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling approach. The data for this study is in the form of published financial reports of sample companies, which were collected using the documentation method. Our analytical approach in this investigation was multiple linear regression. The findings show that tax planning and firm size have a significant positive impact on earnings management practices. However, deferred tax expenses show a non-significant negative influence on such practices. In this regard, the implementation of the internal control system needs to be improved to mitigate potential financial manipulation.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) were prevalent bacterial infections with significant public health impacts, particularly affecting females due to anatomical predispositions. Objective: To assess the types of uropathogens and their antimicrobial resistance profiles among patients with UTIs presenting to a private clinic in districts Dir Lower and Upper, Pakistan. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted, enrolling 109 patients with symptoms suggestive of UTIs. Urine samples were collected and subjected to culture and sensitivity testing. Data on patient demographics, uropathogen identification, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Escherichia coli was the predominant uropathogen, isolated in 51.90% of patients, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.00%), Enterococcus (9.80%), Staphylococcus aureus (3.80%), and Serratia odorifera (1.50%). Among Escherichia coli isolates, Nitrofurantoin exhibited the highest sensitivity (91.30%), while Ampicillin, Cefixime, Amoxicillin, and Ceftriaxone showed substantial resistance rates (>85%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa demonstrated high resistance to all tested antibiotics. Enterococcus and Staphylococcus aureus exhibited variable sensitivity patterns, while Serratia odorifera displayed uniform sensitivity to the antibiotics tested. Conclusions: Escherichia coli was the predominant uropathogen isolated among patients with UTIs in districts Dir Lower and Upper, Pakistan, with varying susceptibility patterns to commonly prescribed antibiotics.

The manifestations of diabetes are always a great challenge to the medical practitioners and one of its challenging ones are the Diabetic Foot Infection (DFI). There are multiple ways of managing this condition such as using antibiotics to eliminate bacteria and boosting the patient’s intrinsic factors, for example, through blood glucose optimization. DFIs are difficult to treat nowadays because of antibiotic resistance; as a result, scientists have turned to medicinal plants for finding drugs against Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. Tinospora cordifolia is a promising plant with untapped wealth of chemical compounds with high therapeutic potential. These biologically active metabolites work together through different mechanisms causing antibacterial action against the MDR strains. Objective: To assess the antibacterial potential of Tinospora cordifolia Leaf Extract (TcLE) against MDR-Staphylococcus aureus isolated from pus samples of patients with DFIs. Methods: In-vitro experimental study conducted in Ziauddin University from December 2022 to September 2023. Extraction of TcLE was done using a rotary evaporator. The antibacterial activity of TcLE was evaluated by the Agar well diffusion assay. Results: Eight different doses were prepared in 10% DMSO using TC's ethanolic leaf extracts. Growth of MDR-Staphylococcus aureus strain was inhibited by TcLE at the tested concentration of 250 mg/ml, which was the MIC (the lowest concentration of TcLE which suppressed the growth of MDR-Staphylococcus aureus strains). Conclusion: TcLE showed antibacterial activity against MDR-Staphylococcus aureus, thus establishing it as a potential lead compound source of anti-staphylococci drugs.

Gallstones often lead to biliary pancreatitis. While the majority of individuals may only have minor symptoms, a small percentage (around 20%) will develop severe pancreatitis, which can lead to catastrophic problems if it occurs again. Objective: To determine patients who have acute pancreatitis caused by biliary stones and evaluate the results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed early versus delayed. Methods: Total 390 patients with acute biliary stone-induced pancreatitis were presented in this study. After getting informed written consent detailed demographics of enrolled cases were recorded. In the group I, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done within 72 hours; in the group II, it was done later after 72hours. Post-operative outcomes were compared by using t-test and chi square test among both groups. Results: Among all, 216 (55.4%) were males and 174 (44.6%) were females. Majority of the cases 140 (35.9%) had age 41-50 years. Most common complication was abdomen pain in 340 (87.2%) cases. Compared to delayed surgery, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy had a lesser complication rate (p<0.04), a shorter inpatient stay (p<0.003), and a faster recovery time. The mortality rates of the two groups were comparable (p=0.001). Less recurrence rate was experienced with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (p<0.002). Conclusions: Compared to a late cholecystectomy, an early one greatly reduces the likelihood of postoperative complications, recurrent biliary events, the length of operation, and the length of time the patient must remain in the hospital for treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis.
