Role of seasonal variation on the prevalence and risk factors of trichuriasis among the aboriginal community in Malaysia
Authors: Noradilah S. A. , Anuar T. S. , Lee I. L.
Published: May 2022

Trichuris trichiura is a soil-transmitted helminth prevalent in developing countries with poor, inadequate sanitation and unsafe water sources. In Malaysia, the prevalence of trichuriasis is relatively high among the aboriginal community due to poverty and poor sanitation. However, there are few studies to determine the seasonal variation on the prevalence and risk factors to acquire Trichuris trichiura infection in Malaysia. The present study found higher Trichuris trichiura infection during the dry season (63.6%; 138/217) in comparison to the wet season (55.5%; 142/256). Low household income, low education level and practice of open defecation were significant risk factors to acquire Trichuris trichiura infection during the wet season. Usage of untreated water supplies for daily activities was a risk factor to acquire trichuriasis during the dry season. This study highlighted that poverty and poor sanitation practices as well as drinking untreated water put the aborigines at high risk to acquire trichuriasis. Therefore, health education, improved sanitation and provision of treated water supply are recommended for the prevention and control of Trichuris trichiura infections in the aboriginal community.

Trichinellosis is a nematode-causing disease distinguished by its continuous transmission in the carnivores and omnivores. Despite effective eradication of the enteral forms, conventional drugs fail to eliminate the migrating and muscle ones. Over the past years, researchers intensified the work on herbal medicines as alternatives or aids to albendazole, the reference drug. This research hypothesizes that the therapeutic agent absorption route could be an evidence-based carrier molecule or auxiliary drug to albendazole. Accordingly, this in vitro study was designed to investigate mainly the phenotypic changes induced by a mono-treatment of albendazole, Lipidium sativum (garden cress), and Commiphora molmol (myrrh). Incredibly, no data were reported on the morphological alterations of T. spiralis larvae treated by any of these drugs. The experimental design tested various concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) of each herbal medicine for the lethal effects on the parasite forms for a day (1, 12, and 24h). The data showed that the highest significant mortality rate of the parasite forms was in favor of the concentration 200 μg/ml of both plant extracts in a time-dependent manner. Therefore, albendazole at 200 μg/ml dose was tested in parallel, and all experimental groups were compared to non-treated muscle larvae and worms. Albendazole-treated worms accounted for the least significant (p<0.001) survival rate (2 %), followed by myrrh (5 %), and the adverse was valid for the survival rate of the muscle larvae at that time. None of the larvae/worms was alive after 24 hours of incubation with the 200μg/ml of either treatment. The scanning electron microscope investigation of the experimental groups provided a shred of evidence for different routes of taking up the candidate drugs by the parasite. In conclusion, the results of the previous work in vivo and current in vitro study recommend myrrh over garden cress as a complementary agent of albendazole.
The Canadian Senate and the election of senators
Authors: Hastick Stephanie
Published: May 2022

The research essay debates whether the Canadian Senate should keep its current government-appointed system where the executive branch chooses who becomes a senator. Alternatively, there should be an elected Senate where senators must run in elections to keep their seats. From these two opinions, the research essay will support electing a Senate to reform the current system of appointments. The essay's introduction will give context to how the Senate currently works—for example, describing how the Governor-General makes the senators' appointments on the prime minister's advice. Furthermore, provinces are assigned a certain number of seats, with the divisions being Ontario, Quebec, the maritime provinces, and the western provinces. The discussion will move to why Canada should have an elected Senate, defending that it gives power to the people, ultimately adding more democracy to Canada. Including providing checks and balances. Additionally, stopping the allowance of too much unilateral executive power. The following paragraph will be on how to organize an elected Senate. It will analyze the United States and Australia's senate system and compare how they operate within Canada's new senate design. Alongside discussion on how the voting system and the seat assignments to the provinces would work. Lastly, demonstrating how the elected Senate will change the way Canada can govern. For their scandals, it will allow citizens to hold senators accountable during election time, like Senators Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau, and Pamela Wallin. Both members of parliament and senators will have more autonomy as the prime minister's powers are weakened. Including the ability for voters to punish the House of Commons for legislation they pass with possible midterms. Plus, allowing for a slower and thoughtful process. Finally, the conclusion will include an overview of why the Senate should be elected, an elected senate's organization, and how an elected system would change the way the federal government can govern.

As Red as Blood: Women's Temporality and Pain in Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber"
Authors: Luppe Hannah
Published: May 2022

As Red as Blood: Women's Temporality and Pain in Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber"
The story begins with a young girl. She’s lanky, shy, and doesn’t know her body, a fact which becomes apparent the morning she wakes to find blood on her sheets for the first time. My adolescent years were painful, awkward, and bloody. Nonetheless, I learned how to wash the stains from my sheets and take care of my body when it was hurting. I learned that becoming a woman was something to be celebrated, but quietly. A woman’s menstrual cycle is used by society to dictate womanhood. It is difficult, however, to control something that is so persistent. Women’s pain is timeless—it is present each month whether society deems it acceptable or not. Fairy tales, too, are timeless, consistent in their punishment of women’s pain. Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber reinvents the fairy tale, encouraging us to ask more of those traditional stories by allowing women’s time to expand—much like a womb—making room for pain and desire. Between countesses with a taste for blood and girls who are more wolf than woman, Carter embraces the cultural anxiety that becoming a woman is a threatening and monstrous process. My paper blends research with the fairy tale genre to offer a performative analysis of The Bloody Chamber, asking readers to reach beyond the boundaries of academic writing, much like Carter’s retellings. Here, becoming a woman is a thing to be celebrated, and loudly. Here, we are allowed to exist, blood and all.
Human Foot Traffic and the Associated Spread of Invasive Species
Authors: Milne Abby , White Julia
Published: May 2022

The spread of invasive species has become an important topic in ecological literature in recent years as it threatens the natural biodiversity essential for ecosystems to function and thrive. Invasive species are damaging to ecosystems because they outcompete native species for invaluable resources. Human activities have long been suspected of being the main vector for the transportation of invasive species due to the attachment of seeds to objects such as clothing, shoes, livestock, and vehicles. Gaining an understanding of the interactions between human activity and invasive species spread is crucial to diminish the negative impact of invasive species on local ecosystems. In our research endeavor, we investigated human foot traffic in urban parks and conservation areas and surveyed the surrounding area for invasive plant species. In several different parks, we set up plots with varying levels of human foot traffic and designated each as low, medium, and high foot traffic. We measured each of the plants within the plots, denoting each as invasive or non-invasive. We also measured observed foot traffic to confirm the accuracy of the designated foot traffic levels and to create a traffic gradient. We found a general correlation between high foot traffic and abundant invasive species, which supports our hypothesis. It is important to note that there remains many other factors that influence invasive species' spread that should be investigated. Further research should be conducted on the mechanisms behind this spread and how it can be reduced.
The Indirect Effects of Right Wing Authoritarianism and Ambivalent Sexism in Cadets' Opinions on the Fairness of RMC's Physical Performance Test
Authors: Ford Emily
Published: May 2022

In an effort to create an inclusive culture, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been attempting to eradicate sexism within its ranks (Scoppio, 2019). Despite these efforts, female soldiers continue to face discrimination in the CAF. At the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), cadets must complete a physical performance test (PPT), in which male and female cadets are scored differently according to sex due to biological differences. Evidence shows that the separate marking scheme creates a divide between the sexes, as female cadets feel that their PPT scores are taken less seriously than male cadets and male cadets denigrate the PPT scores obtained by female cadets (Scoppio, 2019). Right wing authoritarianism (RWA), ambivalent sexism (AS), and its two subscales, benevolent sexism (BS) and hostile sexism (HS) may help explain attitudes regarding gender fairness of PPT scores. Results from a sample of  169 cadets' revealed that the relationship between RWA and BS and RWA and AS do not significantly predict opinions on the PPT and the indirect effects were not significant. However, the indirect effects between RWA, HS, and attitudes regarding the PPT were significant.
To Kill the False Woman: Annie Ernaux Autobiographical Writing in Happening
Authors: Wagner Rose
Published: May 2022

Annie Ernaux’s L’événement (Happening) stands as a powerful piece of autobiographical discourse and incites discussion in both trauma literature and as an extension of Hélène Cixous’s The laugh of the Medusa. Ernaux’s text revolves around her clandestine abortion, as she writes of her trauma through the event.  I will attempt to demonstrate that while the mere act of writing constitutes a form of overcoming traumatic events, Ernaux’s writing goes above and beyond these conventions. To do so, I will analyze how Ernaux’s autobiographical writing combines several discursive, narrative, and literary techniques to firstly meditate and reflect on the past and present, and secondly to reconcile and overcome the past and presents perspectives, or the “unspeakable” incited by rigid social and legal norms. I will further demonstrate how by writing her own body, that is by meditating on the numerous limitations placed on the female body and mind, her literary contribution is two-fold: Ernaux both pays homage to her own personal female experience and represents the collective female experience in a larger, historical context. The result is a re-framing of a feminine narrative into a human question through a validation of Ernaux’s experience.
Resistance Breeds Revolution: A Study of Refusing the Invitation in Participatory Theatre
Authors: Tooley Mary
Published: May 2022

To join in a participatory theatre experience, the audience needs to accept the invitation to cross the fourth-wall and become a player (White). But what happens when aspects of our participation are unethical, or add odds with our political or social values? How do artists prepare for a participant who is resistant to engagement? This essay will explore the concept of the invitation, the possibility that lies in saying “yes”, and the power that exists in refusing the offering. I consider a variety of different modes of saying no, differentiating the social and political meaning and impact of ‘refusal,’ ‘opting out,’ ‘going rogue,’ ‘being a killjoy,’ ‘non-participation,’ or simply an inability to participate. Accustomed to decades of proscenium theatre experiences, being a good audience has become synonymous with receiving performances in silence, at a static distance, and with applause (Heddon, Iball, and Zerihan). We are trained to suppress our questions and concerns to refrain from challenging the methods or intentions of the artists in front of us. I dissect various personas of refusal who reflect a show’s dramaturgical flaws, accessibility issues, unethical content, faulty or lack of clear invitations, or uninteresting material. But saying “no” is challenging, and I will investigate the tyranny of the invitation and the infrequency of refusal, highlighting the generative nature of resistance. This paper will consider the example of Jordan Tannahill’s mixed reality piece, Draw Me Close, which invites participants into an animated virtual reality space that requires participation, and it unpacks how unexpected acts of refusal are accounted for and dealt with by artists.
The Explore-Exploit Dilemma: Role of Time Horizon on Informant Selection
Authors: Clark Hannah
Published: May 2022

The explore-exploit dilemma is a pervasive problem within the context of social information gathering faced by all individuals. The decision to exploit an old source of information or explore a new source of information involves a trade-off between acquiring new knowledge from the environment to reduce uncertainty (exploration) or immediately receiving rewards (exploitation) (Meder et al., 2020). An important factor influencing information gathering within the context of the explore-exploit dilemma is time. Research has shown that in shorter time horizons, adults are more likely to exploit old sources of information and in longer time horizons, adults are more likely to explore new sources of information. Thus, when given more opportunities to explore, adults perceive the benefits of exploring novel stimuli to outweigh the immediate reward of exploring an old source of information (Wilson et al., 2014). Prior accuracy of the informant has also been shown to influence the decision to explore or exploit sources of information. The current study aims to extend the work of Gutzin (2021) and will consist of two parts; study one will replicate the work of Gutzin (2021) directly, studying adults online. Study two will extend the work of Gutzin (2021) to accommodate an online platform with children. The previous studies examining this effect had small sample sizes and in turn low statistical power. To address this, the current study will be composed of larger sample sizes so that final conclusions regarding this effect can be made. In line with previous literature and studies, it hypothesized that both adults and children will tend to exploit the familiar informant in shorter time horizons and explore the novel informant in longer time horizons and prior accuracy of the familiar informant will affect exploration tendencies.
Evaluating the training needs for an epilepsy education program by assessing the beliefs and attitudes of families with children impacted by epilepsy.
Authors: Subhani Anwar
Published: May 2022

Background: The aftermath of a seizure for a child and their family alongside a lack of accessible epilepsy education programs reinforces a perceived loss of control and anxiety states. A virtual video teaching platform is being developed to allow families to connect with and learn about their child’s epilepsy. The queries and training needs of diverse patient groups must be addressed to ensure the platform’s personalization and success. 

Objective: We assessed the training needs, beliefs, and attitudes through a questionnaire for families, taking into account epilepsy severity, time of their child’s diagnosis, and religiosity.Methods: Over two months, patients of the Alberta Children Hospital’s Neuroscience outpatient clinic were contacted to complete the survey. We focused on analyzing how families’ beliefs towards the causes, treatment, and manifestations of epilepsy influenced training needs and interest and whether that is correlated with epilepsy severity, time of diagnosis, and religiosity. A one-way ANOVA was conducted.

Results: 67 families responded to the survey. Families with a recent initial seizure were more inclined to believe in more environmental and behavioral causes of epilepsy. Those with longer-standing epilepsy believed in more medical causes for epilepsy. More religious families were slightly inclined to believe in prayers and miracles as treatment. All groups presented a high interest in the video topics, with more religious families drawn to the ‘Life with Epilepsy’ module videos.

Conclusions: These results will ensure the program design facilitates understanding of epilepsy, leading to expedited social integration, better coping, and reduced mental health comorbidities for all patient groups.
Whiteness and Blackness in The Bluest Eye
Authors: Misiewicz Lorena
Published: May 2022

Toni Morrison has long proposed that the concept of physical beauty is one of the most destructive ideologies of human thought. This essay aims to deal with how Morrison’s 1970 novel The Bluest Eye exposes the dogma that physical beauty and pureness itself are straightforwardly associated with whiteness; allowing whiteness to provide a cloak of invisibility to those who possess it. This then subjects blackness to be the placeholder of what is ugly, bad and dangerous in the world; forcing the trait of blackness to be a conviction of visibility. This essay will follow myself, a white individual, grappling with the fact that I have been given the privilege to go through life unnoticed only because I happened to be born white. Further, the repercussions of this fact are confronted, those who are black are stripped from the privilege of going unnoticed. The Bluest Eye and my mediation of the novel present that even a raised consciousness about the privileges of whiteness fails to prevent racial self-loathing and violence against Blacks due to whiteness taking over the measure of humanness. Despite this, there is still hope in the future of blackness which can only be accomplished by displacing the authority of whiteness and questioning the structures that allow the authority of whiteness to prevail.
Immigrant entrepreneurs’ influence on the career paths of their children
Authors: Bubeqi Alison
Published: May 2022

There is a gap in the research describing how the entrepreneurial spirit of parents who have successfully immigrated can be imprinted onto their children and influence their career paths. The objective of this study is to bridge these two points and examine how these entrepreneurs have guided the career paths of their first-generation children, from the child’s perception. This study aims to benefit society by documenting how first-generation Canadians perceive their parents to have contributed to their future career paths. A survey will be administered to 15 undergraduate students that are born in Canada with at least one parent born outside of Canada that owns and operates a business. The survey assesses each participant on externally validated surveys of entrepreneurial personality aspects (risk aversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) to normalize participants on a scale of entrepreneurial orientation. Participants will then be interviewed about their career aspirations, their parent(s’) career(s), expectations from their parent(s), and their parent(s’) encouragement or discouragement of following the same parental   career. The principal goal is to develop a theory of entrepreneurial transfer from parent to child that will involve (i) the effect their parents’ journey had on their choices and opinions towards entrepreneurship, (ii) the extent of the child’s desire or lack thereof to follow the career path most approved by their immigrant parents, and (iii) their underlying reasons for the acceptance or rejection of their parents’ desires for their careers.
VR – The Digital Intersection of Video Games and Immersive Theatre
Authors: Ci Cindy
Published: May 2022

The coronavirus pandemic has been detrimental to live theatre everywhere; however, it has forced us to explore the possibilities within the digital landscape as in-person interactions continue to be limited. Virtual reality, or VR for short, has exploded in popularity due to its escapist and endless possibility, but it also demonstrates inherent elements of game design and theatricality in its applications and experiences – so to what extent do we see such elements and how do they apply? Using preliminary studies in video game and immersive theatre philosophy, interviews with professional artists in these fields, and my own experiments on the Oculus headset, we see connections of concepts such as presence, interactivity, and aesthetics being made in VR, as are similar terms found in theoretical discussions of gaming and immersivity. This connection also recognizes the logistical problems like accessibility and ethics, and though conversations are still developing on these subjects, we can consult with each industry to analyze and predict outcomes of different procedures. This intersectionality of technology and the arts is not new; however, it is underutilized – digital theatre presented a way for people to connect during the pandemic, but with VR, we are given the chance to interact more authentically in a shared, online space.
Over the Garden Wall: Contextualizing "Babes in the Woods"
Authors: Villeneuve Anna
Published: May 2022

Over the Garden Wall: Contextualizing "Babes in the Woods"
My video essay for Dan Simpson’s FILM 456’s scene analysis assignment aims to contextualise episode 8 of Over the Garden Wall entitled Babes in the Woods by analysing its visual, audio, and narrative decisions and comparing them to early animation and western colonial storytelling. Over the Garden Wall uses sound, colour, shapes and animation style to masterfully execute a stylistic and narrative homage to not only early western and colonial stories, but to the origins of the medium it's telling these stories in, that being animation.
Through the use of rubber hose animation style, its colour scheme, and its stylistic editing the episode is a visual homage to early animation such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1923). A musical montage inspired by the song “Babes in the Woods” not only is a narrative nod to the series as a whole, but pays homage sonically to western folklore. Narratively, the dream sequence is inspired by greek mythology and odyssey with references to Boreas and the Onieri. These aesthetic and narrative decisions masterfully, overtly and subtly pay homage to the serie’s predecessors and make for an effective tribute to the art of storytelling as it’s come before.

During this panel, members of the 4o8 Collective — namely Jillian, Beedell, ClaireDobbie, Meenakashi Ghadial, Jobelle Quijano, Lauren Russo, Rebecca Vangennip,and Ruza Vatres — will unpack the potentialities and issues of working as a collectiveartistic unit. While working as collectives, artists are well poised to share resources,receive and exchange valuable peer feedback, and situate their respective worksalongside artists working in other mediums and disciplines. Conversely, working as acollective also prompts certain challenges such as striking a balance betweenindividual artistic output, and collective artistic output, and determining the oftenblurry lines between individual artistic authorship and collaborative artisticauthorship. To this end, the artists will provide insight to their respective practices,and collective ambitions. In their current exhibition, I still see your ghost dancing inmy room, the 4o8 Collective have each presented individual artworks that, together,amount to a cohesive exhibition exploring their central inquiries as a collective. Keytenants to the 4o8 Collective mandate include: commitment to bridging differencesof both personal subject positions and artistic motivations by way of situating theirartworks in relation to, and in dialogue with each other, experimentation, andexpectations of completion versus openness to failure. The Art as Inquiry & ArtistCollectives panel will delve into the processes of collaboration, co-production, andexperimentation that have fostered the generative artistic trajectory of the 4o8Collective.
La educación intercultural bilingüe en Ecuador: Historia, discursos y prácticas cotidianas
Authors: Perino Elena
Published: May 2022

En 1988 se institucionalizaba en Ecuador el primer modelo educativo bilingüe en Latinoamérica manejado de manera autónoma por un movimiento social indígena. La voluntad era desafiar a las jerarquías del saber y a una sociedad excluyente. Desde el periodo colonial, se había confinado a la población indígena, sus idiomas, conocimientos y prácticas a una condición subalterna y de invisibilidad. Se lo había hecho mediante discursos y medidas que imaginaron y fabricaron ‘el otro en cuanto otro’, y lo redujeron al espacio del no humano, para legitimar la explotación y la opresión. El movimiento indígena, creador del proyecto, irrumpió en la historia con el levantamiento de 1990, y se presentó como fuerza subversiva cuyo fin era descolonizar el imaginario racista ecuatoriano. Propuso un reto político y epistemológico, para construir lo que el pensamiento crítico latinoamericano ha llamado ‘interculturalidad crítica’. Esta propuesta, diferente al multiculturalismo, se forja en un contradiscurso que se fundamenta en crear un grupo (‘nosotros, los indígenas’) ligado por siglos de discriminación, y una cultura ‘ancestral’ y ‘milenaria’, que se recrea y se reinventa al reivindicar una nueva identidad. En este libro la autora analiza las razones históricas por las cuales emergió el proyecto de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (EIB) en Ecuador. Además, las tensiones entre este, orientado a descolonizar el saber y a subvertir las jerarquías racializadas, y cómo se aplicó en un Estado que se declara ‘intercultural y plurinacional’. Mediante un análisis históricamente fundado y sólidamente anclado en el trabajo de campo, tratará de responder a las múltiples cuestiones que se plantean en la práctica cotidiana del proyecto.
Keys, Nominals, and Concrete Domains
Authors: Lutz Carsten , Areces Carlos , Horrocks Ian , Sattler Ulrike
Published: May 2022

Many description logics (DLs) combine knowledge representation on an abstract, logical level with an interface to 'concrete' domains such as numbers and strings with built-in predicates such as <, +, and prefix-of. These hybrid DLs have turned out to be quite useful for reasoning about conceptual models of information systems, and as the basis for expressive ontology languages. We propose to further extend such DLs with key constraints that allow the expression of statements like 'US citizens are uniquely identified by their social security number'. Based on this idea, we introduce a number of natural description logics and perform a detailed analysis of their decidability and computational complexity. It turns out that naive extensions with key constraints easily lead to undecidability, whereas more careful extensions yield NEXPTIME-complete DLs for a variety of useful concrete domains.

The subject of the article is the architecture of information systems of telecom operators (BSS/OSS), requirements for it and the processes of its transformation. The goal is to transform the existing information environment of the operator into an open digital ecosystem, in accordance with business and technological requirements for the functionality and architecture of information systems of communication operators, which will introduce new business models, services and products, communication channels, and increase competitiveness. The following tasks were solved at the study: analysis of the current state of telecommunications and information systems used by telecom operators; analysis of requirements for business support and operational information systems, collection and analysis of requirements for the architecture of modern information systems in the field of telecommunications, analysis of the transformation process from the existing BSS/OSS architecture of the communication operator into the target architecture of the digital communications provider, elaboration of a recommendations for an intermediate architecture. To solve these problems, methods of system and business analysis were used, in particular, methods of analysis of software requirements, technologies for developing software application architecture. The following results were obtained. The current state of the telecommunications services industry, the features of the existing information systems of telecommunications operators (BSS/OSS) and the requirements for the architecture of such systems was analyzed. Strategies of transition to modern architecture was considered and analyzed. The target architecture of the digital service provider's information ecosystem and the process of transforming the existing BSS/OSS architecture into the target architecture were considered. Intermediate migration architecture was proposed. Conclusions: the transformation to modern information architecture will ensure compliance of BSS/OSS systems with market requirements and new technologies, adapt to their changes, allow operators to increase competitiveness, reduce operating and capital costs, create technological conditions for open digital ecosystem and transform the operator into a digital services provider. It was recommended to use an intermediate architecture based on the open standardized TMF API for such transformation.

Published: May 2022

The subject of research in the article is a way for evaluating the effectiveness of the software security improving method. The aim of the article – study of the effectiveness of the software security improving method and substantiation of practical recommendations for its use. Tasks to be solved: analysis of methods for describing the software security testing process and evaluating its effectiveness, developing a scheme and method for evaluating the effectiveness of a method for improving software security, developing a simulation model for the software security testing process, studying the effectiveness of a method for improving software security, researching and substantiating the reliability of the results obtained, developing practical recommendations for using the method. Applied methods: system analysis, project approach, heuristic methods of decision making, process models. The results obtained: The analysis of the features of the ways for describing the software security testing process and evaluating its effectiveness showed the possibility of taking into account many factors by using the method of dynamics of averages. A way for evaluating the effectiveness of a method for improving software security has been developed, which differs from the known ones by taking into account the scaling factor of the software development process by introducing security testing specialists. With the help of an improved method, the hypothesis of increasing the efficiency of the security process using the developed method by reducing the relative damage indicator at all stages of the software life cycle, depending on the possible duration of a cyber-intrusion, was proved. The substantiation of the reliability of the results of mathematical modeling has been carried out. A number of practical recommendations on the use of the method of improving software security are given and some shortcomings are highlighted, which allow the conclusion that further research is possible.

Published: May 2022

Objective: To characterize the epidemiological clinical profile of children with ostomies treated in the outpatient clinic of a reference public teaching hospital for children in Brazil. Method: Descriptive, documentary, retrospective and quantitative study, carried out by extracting sociodemographic and clinical data from electronic medical records of children with ostomies, monitored from 2014 to 2018. The data underwent descriptive statistics, and in the analysis, the data were organized in a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel version 2010, distributed in three tables, their values represented in absolute and relative frequency. Results: Of the 85 children with ostomy, there was a predominance of males, aged between 1 and 4 years. Anorectal anomaly was considered the main diagnosis. There was a high number of colostomies made. Contact dermatitis was the most frequent peristomal complication. There were difficulties in the routine of families attending the outpatient clinic, and the mother as the main caregiver. Conclusion: The study found relevant aspects related to care planning based on the demand of each child and health education for the prevention of complications, essential actions in the provision of safe and quality nursing care, as well as favoring the operationalization of public policies related to the health of children with ostomies.

The main purpose of this study is to capture key pro-environmental behaviours that are triggered when individuals are subjected to a virtual environment simulation of a pristine tourism destination. The study made use of virtual reality headsets to gauge potential predictors of pro-environmental behaviour. Pre and post intervention response differentials were recorded through a structured questionnaire on 100 individuals. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage comprised of the PLS-SEM algorithm which empirically tested postulations anchored on the Pro-Environmental Behaviour framework. The second phase of the study deployed the PLS-MGA algorithm to observe changes in propensities. Findings reveal that, virtual reality interventions partially effect how individuals perceive pro-environmental behaviour. The study advices policy makers and practitioners to cultivate industry 4.0 technologies like virtual reality to raise awareness about climate action among tourists. For academicians, the study expands the utility sprectrum of the Pro-Environmental Behaviour (PEB) framework and it is suggested that future studies inculcate virtual/augmented/extended reality competencies in experiment based investigations. The study maybe repeated in the context of other developing economies where sustainable tourism development remain a challenge.
