Maternal and child health remains a paramount concern worldwide, with policy frameworks playing a pivotal role in shaping outcomes for mothers and children. This paper provides a concise overview of the global landscape of maternal and child health policies, encompassing current practices and outlining key directions for the future. Current practices in maternal and child health policies vary significantly across regions and nations. Successful policies often integrate evidence-based interventions that span the continuum of care, from preconception to postpartum and early childhood. Maternal health policies typically focus on ensuring access to quality antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and postnatal support. Child health policies emphasize immunization, nutrition, and early childhood development programs. However, disparities persist, reflecting the need for targeted interventions to address specific regional challenges. Future directions in maternal and child health policies emphasize a holistic and integrated approach. The global community recognizes the importance of addressing social determinants, promoting gender equity, and strengthening health systems to ensure comprehensive care for mothers and children. Innovations in digital health, community engagement, and cross-sectoral collaborations are identified as crucial components for improving policy effectiveness. Additionally, a life-course perspective, extending beyond childbirth to adolescence and beyond, is gaining prominence to address the evolving health needs of women and children. This paper provides a snapshot of the intricate landscape of maternal and child health policies globally. By understanding current practices and identifying future directions, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders can contribute to advancing maternal and child health outcomes on a global scale.

Authors: David Augustine Aondoackaa  , Samuel Yusuf  , Victoria Asibi Aondoackaa
Published: February 2024

In order to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and multi antibiotic resistance index of E.coli, Salmonella typhi and Shigella species, a total of 32 pre-identified clinical isolates were obtained and subjected to conventional biochemical and gram staining reaction for confirmation. Antibiotic susceptibility testing to ten commonly prescribed antibiotics (Amplicin (PN:30 mcg), Gentamicin (GEN:10 mcg), Streptomycin (STR:30 mcg), Septrin (SXT:30 mcg), Nalidixic acid (NAL:30 mcg), Ciprofloxacin (CIP:10 mcg), Augmentin (AU:30 mcg), Reflacin (PEF:10 mcg), Tarivid (OFX:10mcg), and Ceporexin (CEP:10 mcg) was considered using disc agar diffusion method and reported with the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute Interpretative chart. Zones of inhibition were measured and Multiple Antibiotic Resistance index was calculated. Salmonella isolates demonstrated a high rate of susceptibility to Tarivid (90%), Reflaxin (90%), Gentamycin (80%), ciprofloxacin (60%), Augmentin (80%) and moderately susceptible to Streptomycin (40%) and Septrin (20%) with high resistance to Nalidixic acid (90%), Amplicin (90%) and Ceporexin (70%). Nearly all Shigella isolates were susceptible to Augmentin (80%), Reflaxin (90%), Tarivid (80%), intermediate susceptibility was also noted in Streptomycin (40%) and Ceporexin (50%) while high resistance to ciprofloxacin (80%), Amplicin (90%), Septrin (70%) and Nalidixi acid (90%). High rate of resistance was observed to nearly five antibiotics in E,coli with low susceptibility rate to all the antibiotics tested. All the isolates had Multiple Antibiotic Resistance index greater than 0.2 and above. This may be as a result of previous exposure to antibiotics and development of resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics, hence, antimicrobial susceptibility testing is imperative in selecting therapeutic options.

Published: February 2024

Siomay snacks are one of the popular foods among the people in Poasia District, Kendari City. The implementation of hygiene and sanitation among handlers shows that it is still not good, especially in implementing hygiene in processing dumplings, thereby allowing bacterial contamination to occur which causes disease transmission. The 2021 Kendari City Health Service Data Report shows that typhoid fever ranks 9th out of the 10 largest cases with a total of 1,628 cases. The aim of this research is to determine the description of food hygiene and sanitation as well as the presence of Salmonella sp bacteria in dumpling snacks sold in the front area of ​​SD Poasia District, Kendari City in 2023. This research uses a Quantitative Descriptive type of research with a sampling technique using Total Sampling. The results of this research show that of the 10 dumpling samples sold in the front area of ​​the Poasia District Elementary School, Kendari City, there was 1 (10%) dumpling sample that was positive for Salmonella sp bacteria and 9 (90%) dumpling samples were negative for Salmonella sp bacteria. Of the 10 handlers, 4 (40%) of the siomay food handlers did not meet the requirements of RI Minister of Health Decree No. 942/MENKES/SK/VII/2003 and there are 6 (60%) handlers who meet the requirements of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Decree No. 942/MENKES/SK/VII/2003. The conclusion of this research is that in terms of the presence of bacteria, the quality of the siomay food is a small part that does not meet the requirements and in terms of the hygiene and sanitation of the handlers, the majority of it meets the requirements of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Decree No. 942/MENKES/SK/VII/2003 concerning Sanitary Hygiene for Snack Foods. The suggestion from this research is for handlers to further improve the application of sanitary hygiene in processing dumplings.

Published: February 2024

Functional foods can be considered to be those whole food, fortified, enriched or enhanced foods that provide health benefits beyond the provision of essential nutrients (e.g., vitamins and minerals), when they are consumed at efficacious levels as part of a varied diet on a regular basis. Wheat flour is a finely ground powder prepared from wheat grain. Flour can be produced from other starchy plant foods and used in baking. Although flour can be made from a wide variety of plants, the vast majority is made from wheat. Plantain is a crop plant with green leaves and herbaceous stem. Its fruits are cherished by many people. More than 60 plantain varieties have been identified. Velvet bean belongs to the Fabaceae family. It is among the various underutilized wild legumes and is wide spread in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is considered a viable source of dietary proteins. This study therefore investigated assessment of nutritional, physical, microbial and sensory properties of functional cake produced from wheat, plantain and velvet bean flours blends. The procured velvet bean and plantain were thoroughly washed, peeled, dried and converted into flours. Wheat, plantain and Velvet flours composite were prepared in the ratio 240:37.5:22.5, 210:60:30 and 150:105:45 respectively and 100% wheat flour was used as the control. The samples were evaluated for their nutritional quality; gross and metabolizable energy, total starch, total sugar; physical properties; weight, volume and specific volume, Microbial; total plate counts, fungi and coliform tests and sensory properties; taste, colour, appearance, aroma, texture and overall acceptability. Nutritional quality revealed that gross, metabolisable energy, total starch, and total sugar ranged from 21.08 – 26.39 kCal/g, 8.89 – 11.65 kCal/g, 16.64 – 21.13% and 0.11 – 0.38% ; weight, volume and specific volume ranged from 33.35-36.95, 819.80-944.35, 23.67-26.02; ; total plate counts, fungi and coliform ranged from 2.44 x 105 to 5.61 x 105 cfu /g, 1.73 x 103 to 2.41 x 103 cfu /g and 1.1 x 101 to 1.21 x 102 cfu/g and sensory properties; taste, colour, appearance, aroma, texture and overall acceptability ranged from 7.2 – 8.6, 7.9 – 6.0, 6.0 -8.3, 7.4 to 8.1, 7.5 – 7.9 and 7.5 – 8.7.

Nintedanib (BIBF 1120) is a potent intracellular inhibitor of tyrosine kinase receptors, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, fibroblast growth factor receptors α and β, and non-receptors members of the Src family [1]. By binding competitively to the adenosine triphosphate sites of these receptors, Nintedanib blocks autophosphorylation and so inhibits the downstream intracellular signalling cascades necessary for the proliferation, migration and survival of endothelial cells, pericytes, and fibroblasts [2]. Nintedanib is approved in the European Union in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of Non- Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) of adenocarcinoma histology after first-line chemotherapy and for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) [3-5].We report a patient, who was admitted at Gastroenterology department with complaints of itching, yellowish discolouration of eyes, concentrated urine for 1 month & cough with shortness of breath for 3 days.He was taking treatment for Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension for past 5 & 8 years respectively. The patient also had a medical history of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and was taking Cap Nintedanib for 1 month.

In the current public debate on asylum and migration, there is a growing emphasis on the need to protect the most vulnerable - such as minors, pregnant women, LGBTQI people, people with disabilities and women victims of gender-based violence. In fact, the concept of ‘vulnerability’ is playing an increasingly central role in migration and international protection policies, first and foremost at borders and in protection claim procedures, but also in programmes for the resettlement or relocation of refugees in countries of the global South.
La questione della vulnerabilità nel sistema di protezione internazionale in Italia
Le prospettive di decision maker, operatori/trici sociali e persone migranti
Authors: Carnassale Dany , Garofalo Geymonat Giulia
Published: February 2024

This contribution presents the research conducted by the VULNER Italian team based on case-law and in-depth interviews with decision-makers, legal experts, social workers, and migrants seeking protection. Results suggest that the Italian international protection system is often unable to recognise and/or address situations of vulnerability and may contribute to their intensification due to the overlooking of less visible, ‘intersectional’ vulnerabilities, the length of procedures, and an inadequate reception system. However, positive developments were found, in particular in the deployment of ‘humanitarian protection’, referrals to the anti-trafficking system, and small-sized reception centers.

The monograph is based on the textbook by T. K. Zlobin (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin State University, 2014), which was refined and supplemented significantly. The book presents modern concepts of geodynamical processes in the Earth’s core and its shells (mantle and crust, hydrosphere and atmosphere), up to the space phenomena, which are relevant to a variety of natural disasters: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, avalanches, mudslides, tsunamis, storm surges. Tropical cyclones (typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes), and falls of celestial objects have been characterized as well. Alongside the description of modern geodynamic processes, information is provided on the history of stars, the Sun and planets, the problem of the emergence of the Earth’s magnetic field, the inversion of magnetic poles, etc. The energy of geodynamic processes and natural disasters, their hierarchy and properties: fractality and quasi-periodicity, possible regime changes (bifurcations) have been considered. The monograph is assigned to geologists, geophysicists, specialists in adjacent fields of science, as well as for students and postgraduates studying modern geodynamic processes and related natural disasters.
The Corfu Channel Case and the Limits of Self-Defense

Published: February 2024

The Corfu channel case which was a landmark case decided by the International Court of Justice in 1949. The case involved the setup of mines in the Corfu Channel by Albania in 1946, which claimed the lives of 44 British soldiers and destroyed several war vessels. The UK brought a case against Albania alleging that they violated international law by not informing soldiers about possible hazards as well as not clearing the minefields. Albania argued that it was at liberty to mine its territorial waters and therefore not liable for mining on the channel. However, ICJ found that Albania was not reasonable enough in protecting vessels in the Corfu Channel and did not conduct itself in accordance to international law. The mining proved Albania liable for damages. There are many lasting significances in the Corfu Channel case viz this case enunciated the principle that asserts states responsibility to protect foreign ships within their territorial waters, confirmed the right to pass through international straits, and accentuated broader aspect on recourse to armed force in self-defense. State responsibility was also observed in this case. In a notable departure from the actual events, the ICJ held Albania accountable for damages caused by the mines, emphasizing their failure to inform ships about potential dangers and their inability to prevent the mining of the channel. The Corfu Channel case remains a compelling study in international law with profound implications.
SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF THE HOUSING MARKET THROUGH INVESTIGATING HOUSING TRANSACTION VOLUMES IN MENTEŞE, MUĞLA
Authors: AKSOY KHURAMİ Esma , BALABAN Melda
Published: February 2024

As there is a reciprocal relationship between the patterns of investor decisions, local and central government strategies, household mobility, and housing transactions have repercussions on both macro and micro scales. Housing transactions within a metropolitan region can alter certain neighbourhood dynamics through the cycle of housing sales regarding urban development patterns, socio-economic characteristics of the residents, tenure type, neighbourhood, and housing quality. Even though the connection between neighbourhood dynamics and housing transactions is undeniable for spatial disci-plines, there are very limited studies for that matter. This study aims to explore the housing market dynamics of Menteşe via housing transactions. It employs three different datasets (Open Street Map (i), Household, housing and office data collected by the Turkish Statistical Institute (ii), Title deed transaction statistics by The Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (iii)). For spatial heterogeneity, Moran’s I, and spatial randomness, a local indicator of spatial association (LISA) has been applied. The findings revealed the role of centrality and the importance of mixed land use in housing markets even though all the neighborhoods on the periphery are very close to the city center in terms of distance.

The transformations that are taking place in modern villages cause the old character of the rural landscape to disappear, and this particularly applies to suburban areas. One of their problems is the large increase in the number of inhabitants and new development, while at the same time there is a lack of adequate provision, and accessibility, of public spaces with positive effects on the landscape. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of the vicinity of a large city on the shaping of landscape of public spaces in peri-urban villages, to specify the trends, and then to develop a method for designating potential public spaces that can positively affect the landscape of villages. Nine municipalities neighbouring the city of Wrocław were selected for research purposes and subjected to general analyses. They were also the basis for selecting 100 statistical locations for detailed research. Their key stage was to analyse the potential of the spaces within the built-up areas of the villages for the creation of public spaces, in relation to population growth. In addition, the development of central squares in the villages included in the detailed studies was analysed from a landscape perspective. Finally, an original division of rural public spaces was made and a method for their designation (PoPP) was developed, which was pilot-tested on the example of the village of Psary located in the study area near the border with Wrocław. This village was selected because of its location within the proposed green infrastructure system in the Wrocław Functional Area (ZI WROF). What is more, this place is crucial for the system and at the same time under threat of degradation. The conclusions of the study indicate that nowadays public spaces in villages are in most cases shaped in a spontaneous way, mainly as fragmented individual actions. There is a definite lack of a holistic approach to their development, one that would treat the areas surrounding the village road, squares and larger recreational grounds as a coherent structure that enhances both the social, landscape and biodiversity values of a village. Such an approach is also important in the context of climate change adaptation and the creation of coherent green infrastructure systems.
A Study on the Nonviolent Resistance Movements and Composition Techniques in Opera  by Philip Glass
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Kim Dohee
Published: February 2024

Philip Glass composed the opera  which deals with Gandhi's actions to regain the rights and freedom of Indians in South Africa, as he encountered and became interested in Satyagraha, a nonviolent resistance movement advocated and promoted by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of Indian independence. The purpose of this study is to introduce the opera  which has not yet been studied in Korea and to examine the content about nonviolent resistance movement by Gandhi which is an important feature of this work and the main composition techniques used in this work. To this end, I first examined life of Gandhi, the etymology and meaning of Satyagraha and the ideological background of the nonviolent resistance movement, explored the profile of Glass who composed the opera  and his world of music and then explained the production background and outline of the opera. As a result of the study, it was found that the opera  expressed content related to the nonviolent resistance movement through synopsis focusing on several events related to the protection for the Indian’s rights and interests, historical figures of each act representing the past, present, and future of Satyagraha, lyrics extracted from the Hindu scripture ‘Bhagavad Gita’ and a choir appearing as a crowd practicing Satyagraha. The main composition techniques used in the work were minimalism characterized by additive process and circulatory structure, the chaconne technique in which rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic variations appear based on repeated harmonic patterns and the use of various scales such as major, minor and chromatic scales and modes. It is hoped that through this study, a broader understanding of the opera  will spread and follow-up research from various perspectives will be produced.
A Classroom Case Study: Implementation of Music Theory Software ‘Musition’ in University-level Harmony Courses
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Kim Yumi
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to present a case study on the utilization of the music theory software 'Musition' in harmony courses. Thus, this paper first examines the evolution of music theory education abroad, exploring specific applications in university-level harmony courses. 'Musition,' developed by the Australian company Rising Software, is a music theory software that spans fundamental music theory to advanced harmonies and four-part writings, providing a tremendous number of syllabi, contents, assignments, and exams, which are applicable to university music theory curricula.
Through the use of 'Musition,' several key advantages have been identified. Instructors can plan their classes freely according to the course content and structure assignments and exams using a substantial number of examples and contents. Furthermore, automatic generation of grading and student evaluation reports are available, even in complex four-part writings. Considering the key features of Musition, this papers argues that the development of music theory software not only eases the burden on instructors in lesson planning, grading, and student management but also encourages students' self-directed learning. I hope such music theory software will be applicable to music theory education in Korea.

Published: February 2024

This study is to understand t he musical values of the world-renowned 20th century composer Yun Isang throughout his life, and to examine how his special playing techniques, which appear in the Western musical instrument oboe, are created and fused into his works, and to understand the relationship between special playing techniques of the piri and the oboe in his works, and to find an appropriate educational methods. Through this study, it is revealed that special techniques in his music, such as glissando, harmonics, double trills, rolling tone, quarter tones, multiphonics, flutter-tonguing, and bisbigliando are rooted in various playing techniques of traditional Korean piri, such as, sikimse, nonguem, chuseong, and toeseong, etc.. By understanding how these traditional elements of Korean piri are implemented in the work, the aim is to explore effective educational methods. This will help us to understand how the elements of traditional Korean musical instruments, piri are implemented in the work through special techniques and to find effective teaching methods. "The oboe solo piece "Piri" <"Piri" für Oboe solo, 1971> and concerto for two oboes  (“Inventionen” für zwei Oboen, 1983) by Yun Isang was examined as a representative work that well exhibits the sepcial playing techniques of the oboe and the techniques of Korean piri. The appropriate playing techniques and expression methods of the composers presented in the study results can be beneficial not only to oboe players but also to educators of music.

Published: February 2024

To investigate students’ interest in physics, this study explores the impact of a brief teaching intervention on the increase of interest. The intervention focused on modern physics, specifically exploring Einstein’s theory of gravity and the dual nature of light. A total of 325 Greek students participated in the survey, comprising 83 students in the 6th grade (11-12 years old), 116 students in the 9th grade (14-15 years old), and 126 students in the 11th grade (16-17 years old). Participants completed a questionnaire, which helped determine the average level of interest before and after the teaching. The findings indicate that teaching modern physics concepts contributes to the development of students’ interest. However, there is an observed decline in interest as the educational level advances, a pattern persisting despite the introduction of Einsteinian physics concepts.

Authors: Jayanegara Anuraga , Marzuki Ismail
Published: February 2024

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic on a global scale has caused major impacts on various sectors, including the education sector. In order to reduce the spread of Covid-19, many countries have implemented learning from home, distance learning or e-learning. Several online platforms that are widely used as learning media include Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Canvas and Blackboard, which allow teachers to create learning development programs. These online platforms have various features including chat, video meetings and file storage that keep classes organized and easy to learn. Such change in the learning methods requires the adjustment of educational evaluation system or learning assessment towards the online tests or other forms of distance assessment. The main problem with online evaluation is that the exams are performed without the physical presence of both students and teachers As a consequence, verification of the examinees and the potential for cheating among the students have appeared as major obstacles during the online learning assessment. Another obstacle that arises in online exams is related to facilities such as hardware (laptops, androids, tablets, etc.), software as well as the stable internet connection for all students.
