Tocophobia: Mind-Boggling Fear of Pregnancy and Childbirth
Authors: Sarojini G. , Murugalakshmi P. L.
Published: October 2024

Tokophobia, also known as maieusiophobia or parturiphobia, which is fear of childbirth. To some extent, it can be considered as a normal human phenomenon considering the painful and unpredictable experience but severe forms that affect the daily functioning of the woman are labeled as pathological forms of Tokophobia. It is a very specific and harrowing condition. It has been a difficult task to study the prevalence and impact of Tokophobia because of shortage of adequate psychological measurements. There is both an urgency and desirability for development of a multidisciplinary approach towards fear of childbirth due to its complexity and obstetric, anesthesiological, psychological and psychiatric implications. An improved etiological and developmental understanding of tokophobia is required to determine the onset and progression of the condition and underpin appropriate, effective and evidence-based interventions.

Mitigation Strategies for Overcoming Delays in High-Rise Construction Projects: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Authors: Kevinkumar D Patel
Published: October 2024

Delays in high-rise construction projects pose a significant challenge globally, with about 75% of these projects experiencing setbacks, resulting in cost overruns of 15-30%. Approximately 40% of construction projects worldwide exceed their timelines, averaging a 20% delay. In India, around 68% of high-rise projects face delays of 6 to 12 months.
This paper explores effective strategies to address these delays, highlighting key techniques such as the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), which can reduce project durations by up to 25%. Robust risk management, including early risk identification and contingency planning, can decrease delay occurrences by nearly 40%.
Technological integration, particularly through Building Information Modeling (BIM) and predictive analytics, has been shown to enhance project visualization and improve completion times by 20%. Effective stakeholder communication can mitigate nearly 60% of delays. Furthermore, continuous workforce training can lead to a 25% increase in productivity. Employing analytical methods like Earned Value Management (EVM) can reduce project overruns by 30%.
By implementing these strategies, project managers can enhance decision-making, optimize resources, and ensure timely and budget-compliant project completions.

Көшпелі халықтар ерте заманнан бері таңба қолданғандығы туралы тарихи деректер көптеп кездеседі. Соның ішінде Түркі және Моңғол халықтары арасында ортақ мағынада қолданылып келген тамга, тамага, дамга сөздері нақты қай тілден шыққандығы белгісіз. «Таңба» туралы мәліметтер жазба деректер бойынша көне түркі тілінде tamγa немесе tamγačï түрінде ескерткіштердің жазба мәтіндерінде және парсыша, түрікше жазылған кейбір деректерде “belgü”, “tuγraγ (tuγra)”, “mühür”, “mör”, “tamγa”, “tavro”, “nişan” деген сөздер белгі, нышан мағынасында жазылған. «Тамга» ұғымы ерте заманнан бері тығыз қарым-қатынаста болған Түркі және Моңғол халықтары арасында әртүрлі немесе ұқсас қолданылған. Тарихи тұрғыдан алғанда, таңбаның қолданылуы әртүрлі даму кезеңдерінен өткені белгілі. Әсіресе, тас дәуірінің әртүрлі кезеңдерінде таңбалар мен белгілер нақты  бір жерді, киелі мекендерді белгілеу және қару-жарақтар мен басқадай алуан түрлі заттарды меншіктеу мақсатында қолданылған. Алайда палеолит-неолит дәуірінде әлеуметтік ұйымдар айтарлықтай дамымаса да, таңбалар кеңінен қолданылды, бірақ оларды нақтылап анықтау үшін әлі де ғылыми зерттеулер қажет. Таңба қолдану дәстүрі өте ерте кезден басталғаны туралы мәліметтер археологиялық қазба жұмыстары нәтижесінде белгілі болуда. Осындай тарихи-археологиялық мәліметтерге сүйене отырып, көшпелі тайпалар арасында таңбалардың қолданысы қола дәуірінен, одан да ертерек басталған деген болжам жасауға болады. Дегенмен бүгінге дейін халықаралық зерттеулерде таңбаның қалыптасуы және қолданылу дәстүрі біршама зерттелсе де, көшпелі халықтардың арасындағы таңбаның қолданылуы және тарихы туралы жүргізілген зерттеулер әлі де жеткіліксіз. Біз мақаламызда «таңба» туралы қысқаша ғылыми мәлімет бере келе, қазақ ру-тайпаларының маңыздылығы және Алтай қазақтарының белгі, таңба жүйесі туралы деректердегі мағлұматтарды ұсындық.

This study aimed to develop hydrogels from carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) with dexamethasone (DEX) for intraocular application, aiming to provide structural stability to the eye and attenuation of inflammatory processes. CMC hydrogels were prepared at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 2% (w/v) and incorporated with 10% (v/v) DEX. The samples were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopic, thermogravimetric analysis, injectability, rheology, and cytotoxicity. The results showed that the incorporation of DEX did not significantly alter the absorption bands and thermal behavior of the CMQ hydrogels. Injectability tests revealed that hydrogels with DEX require injection force similar to the commercial material. In rheological tests, pseudoplastic and linear viscoelastic behavior was identified. Cytotoxicity tests confirmed the biocompatibility of the hydrogels. These results demonstrate that the developed hydrogels have properties suitable for biomedical applications, especially aimed at the ophthalmological context.

Authors: Nascimento Leonardo Silva do , Ferreira Filho Hélio Raymundo , Souza Fábia Maria de
Published: October 2024

The state of Pará has prohibied the sale and distribution of conventional plastic bags to mitigate their socio-environmental impact. This article aims to suggest economic incentives to assist State Law 8902/2019 in diminishing plastic bag consumption. This study employed the SWOT Matrix analysis to develop two economic instruments based on the externality precepts defined by Arthur Pigou and Ronald Coase. The initial proposal, derived from Pigou, involved of a “tax exemption for plastic recycling enterprises”, whereas the subsequente proposal, based on Coase, stipulated “offering discounts to customers who refrain from utilising plastic bags”. Both instruments demonstrated potential for yielding favorable outcomes when integrated with Law 8902/2019; nevertheless, their efficacy relies on an effective selective collecting system and the advancement of environmental education.

Authors: Alahmad Ahmed Ibrahim , Alanazi Alaa Saud , Al-Falih Tariq Abdulaziz
Published: October 2024

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most prevalent abdominal infectious condition, affecting nearly 1 in 11 individuals globally. Despite its commonality, diagnostic approaches remain inconsistent across clinical guidelines. A crucial aspect is the differentiation between uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis, as this influences treatment options. Aim: This narrative review evaluates the role of radiological methods—ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT)—in the diagnosis and management of acute appendicitis. Methods: The analysis focuses on existing literature, emphasizing randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses to compare imaging techniques' effectiveness. It also discusses clinical scoring systems and their integration with imaging features to improve diagnostic accuracy. Results: While clinical assessments alone have a high rate of misdiagnosis, imaging techniques significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy. US is non-invasive and radiation-free, but CT provides superior sensitivity and specificity for appendicitis diagnosis. Recent studies indicate that the combination of clinical scoring systems and imaging can optimize patient management, particularly in distinguishing between uncomplicated and complicated cases. Conclusion: Both US and CT play pivotal roles in diagnosing acute appendicitis. The integration of imaging techniques with clinical assessments improves diagnostic reliability, ultimately guiding appropriate treatment strategies.

Published: October 2024

Calcium plays an important role in the body, such as in the contraction of muscles, the transmission of nerve impulses and the calcification of bones, blood clotting, blood vessel constriction, cell division, cell membrane stability, lipid metabolism, and other essential metabolic processes. Objective: The main objective of the study is to find the prevalence of hypocalcemia in infants of diabetic mothers. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at National Institute of Child and Health Karachi during January 2024 to June 2024.Data were collected from 255 infants whose mothers were suffering from DM.Data were collected through a designed questionnaire which include all information related to demographics, age, history of DM and other comorbidities. Maternal data included the type of diabetes (gestational or pregestational), maternal glycemic control measured by HbA1c levels, maternal vitamin D status, and the presence of any other comorbidities, such as hypertension or obesity. Results: Data were collected from 255 infants with 31.4% born preterm and 68.6% born full-term. The majority of the infants (76.5%) had a normal birth weight (≥ 2.5 kg), while 23.5% had a low birth weight (< 2.5 kg). In terms of gender distribution, the cohort was nearly balanced, with 51.0% male and 49.0% female infants. Regarding the mode of delivery, 54.9% were delivered via cesarean section, and 45.1% were born through vaginal delivery. Infants born to mothers with poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 7%) had a higher prevalence of hypocalcemia (38.3%) compared to those with better control (19.3%). Maternal vitamin D deficiency also contributed to the risk, with 42.4% of infants affected. Neonatal hypoglycemia was strongly associated with hypocalcemia, with a prevalence of 40.0% in hypoglycemic infants. Conclusion: This study concludes that hypocalcemia is prevalent among infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs), with poor maternal glycemic control and vitamin D deficiency being significant risk factors. Early detection through routine screening, particularly in those with neonatal hypoglycemia, is essential as many cases are asymptomatic. Timely calcium supplementation effectively resolves the condition, emphasizing the importance of optimizing maternal care and standardized neonatal monitoring to improve outcomes in this high-risk population.

Published: October 2024

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in Pakistan. Surfactant therapy and high-frequency ventilation (HFV) have been pivotal in improving survival rates. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of newborns with RDS treated with surfactant therapy and HFV in Pakistani tertiary care centres. Objective: To assess the impact of surfactant therapy and HFV on neonatal mortality, incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), length of NICU stay, and overall survival rates in neonates with RDS. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Swat Medical College, Swat, Pakistan in the duration from October 2023 to March 2024. Data were collected on neonates diagnosed with RDS, with two treatment groups: those receiving surfactant therapy only (Group A) and those receiving surfactant therapy with high-frequency ventilation (Group B). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0, comparing mortality rates, BPD incidence, and length of NICU stay between the two groups. Results: Among 300 neonates included in the study, Group A (n=150) had a neonatal mortality rate of 25%, while Group B (n=150) had a mortality rate of 15% (p=0.02). The incidence of BPD was significantly lower in Group B (18%) compared to Group A (30%) (p=0.03). The median length of NICU stay was 20 days for Group A and 15 days for Group B (p=0.01). Neonates receiving HFV had better overall survival outcomes. Conclusion: The use of HFV, combined with surfactant therapy, significantly improves survival outcomes and reduces BPD incidence and NICU stay duration in neonates with RDS.

Authors: DIN N , AZMATULLAH M , KHAN M , ALI H
Published: October 2024

Paediatric sepsis remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity globally, with a disproportionately high burden in low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan. The high rates of sepsis-related deaths in Pakistan are attributed to delayed diagnosis, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and limited access to appropriate medical care. This review focuses on strategies for early detection and collaborative care approaches in the management of paediatric sepsis, particularly in the context of Pakistan’s healthcare system. Methods: This review synthesizes findings from recent studies (2014-2024) addressing the pathophysiology, risk factors, early detection strategies, and treatment modalities for paediatric sepsis, with an emphasis on the unique challenges faced in Pakistan. It discusses the role of biomarkers, clinical scoring systems, and multidisciplinary care models in improving outcomes for children with sepsis. The review also examines the impact of antimicrobial resistance on sepsis treatment and highlights technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and telemedicine that can aid in early diagnosis. Results: Early detection of paediatric sepsis in Pakistan is hindered by a lack of awareness, inadequate diagnostic tools, and delays in seeking medical care, particularly in rural areas. Biomarkers such as procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) have shown promise in diagnosing sepsis, but their use is limited due to resource constraints. Collaborative care models, incorporating multidisciplinary teams and family-centred care, have improved outcomes in larger urban hospitals but remain underutilized in rural regions. Antimicrobial resistance presents a significant challenge, necessitating more stringent antibiotic stewardship programs. Conclusion: To reduce the burden of paediatric sepsis in Pakistan, efforts must focus on enhancing early detection through the implementation of standardized sepsis protocols, increasing access to diagnostic tools, and promoting collaborative care approaches. Addressing antimicrobial resistance through improved antibiotic stewardship is also critical. The integration of technological solutions, such as AI-based diagnostic tools and telemedicine, offers the potential for improving sepsis outcomes in resource-limited settings.

Wireless sensor networks have been identified as one of the most important technologies. A vast amount of research and development has been devoted to this area in the past decade. Nowadays, they have been applied in various fields including environment monitoring, smart building, medical care, and etc. With the advances in electronics, wireless communications, and sensor technology, more and more new opportunities have been created for the research in wireless sensor networks. However, the successful implementation of WSN faces many challenges, such as limited power, limited memory, and limited computing capability. Among them, limited power is the most critical restriction because it is usually impossible for the battery-powered sensor nodes to be recharged. Therefore, one of the main areas of interest for wireless sensor network research is how to reduce power consumption. The proposed system classifies sensor nodes into two operational modes, optimizes node deployment, and finds optimal node placements using a genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the energy consumption of the WSN. The system's successful testing on a simulated WSN meant for radiation site identification revealed its potential for practical real-world applications.

Published: October 2024

This article reviews previous industrial revolutions and focuses on the immense technological advancement achieved by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its impact on the quality of legal education in Saudi Arabia. It demonstrates how these technological developments affect the legal job market and the evolved needs it has created. This study finds that legal education in the Kingdom does not adequately engage with the job market requirements and the changing demands for legal services created by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, this research suggests that legal education institutions in the Kingdom need to take necessary actions to restructure law curricula and specialties so that graduates can meet the legal needs generated by technological advancements. Reforming legal education benefits businesses, governments, individuals, and society at large, as law is the science that regulates behaviors, protects rights, and imposes obligations. This study presents mechanisms through which legal education institutions can adapt to the requirements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Examples of these mechanisms include developing digital literacy among law students and teaching courses such as Technology Law, Technological Legal Innovation, and Legal Entrepreneurship. Training students in future skills is also among the most important strategies to be adopted, especially since these skills will distinguish human legal consultants from machine legal consultants.

A presente pesquisa científica buscou em consonância com a literatura uma profusa compreensão do cabimento e eficácia tutela urgência e foi necessário analisar o seu surgimento no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. A tutela de urgência tem por característica a celeridade, haja vista, ser utilizada em casos considerados urgentes, que pela espera do tramite processual há riscos de iminentes danos irreparáveis, em virtude disso o legislativo entendeu que havia necessidade de criar um instituto próprio para essas situações. Ante essa necessidade foi que em 1994, foi inserido em nosso ordenamento jurídico os instrumentos processuais da tutela de urgência, com a lei nº 8.952/1994, que alterou os dispositivos sobre o processo de conhecimento e o processo cautelar, e permitiu que o juiz com base num juízo de probabilidade do direito do demandante, conceder, desde logo, uma tutela provisória, da mesma natureza daquela que muito provavelmente será outorgada ao final do processo.

Cultural issues cannot be separated from the church planting process. This research uses a literature detective method to analyze cultural and cross-cultural problems seen in church planting. The church, as a religious institution with a long history, continues to transform with changing times. Church planting, as the process of establishing a new community, is not only about physical construction, but also organizing a community of faith. In this process, culture has an important role, bringing challenges and opportunities that need to be understood scientifically. Culture plays a significant role in church planting. Cultural influences can pose challenges, such as differences in values, traditions, and social norms that can hinder acceptance of new religious messages. However, cross-culturalism in church planting also carries great potential to facilitate the spread of the gospel and win the hearts of local residents through an approach that understands local culture. With wise strategy and proper contextualization, the church can bridge the gospel and culture in its mission.

In responding to the warning of the day of God's wrath, Christians believe that the warning of the day of God's wrath is a decree of the law that will actually occur at His second coming. The topic of commemoration about the Day of the Lord nowadays is rarely discussed either in sermons or in other gatherings. For this reason, this topic has become an important topic of discussion and must be explored again among believers. The aim of this writing is to analyze the form of commemoration of the day of God's wrath and its relevance for believers today. The method we use in this writing is a deductive (descriptive) method by collecting various sources as references, namely journals, books and articles related to this topic.

The Great Commission was the last message that gave by Jesus to His disciples before His ascension to heaven. It is an absolute command that must do by all believers who have faith in Christ. It also must be a cornerstone for evangelical activity. Goal of the great commission's activity is to share that salvation has provided in Jesus so since that is also God's grace and love it can be felt by everyone who give response and believe. To have a correct understanding so that capable to get the conclusion based on the truth, observation using exegetical method according to excavation from the original language could be support the discovery. The main purpose of Great Commission is "to make all the nations Christ's disciple." The process to make discipleship started by mission, followed by baptizing and teaching. The phrase of "to make all nations disciple" has meaning to make all nonJewish or people who unknown God, unbelievers, and gentiles, become Christ's followers. The Lord God willing to that all nations to be His disciples. Discipleship needs an obedience to produce multiplication from the devout of disciples themselves as well. Church or believers must realize to this mission (marturia) as the main task that must be done. l. Evangelism must be done immediately and become a lifestyle of all believers. Means that evangelism must be done anytime and anywhere. When believers don't do evangelism, then it proves that they don't care about the salvation of others. And when do not care about salvation of others, hence in this case church sinned. Sinned because of disobeying the Lord's commandment.
THE DYNAMIC SPACE OF THE BOOK
Authors: П.С. Канайкин
Published: October 2024

Книга как объект проектирования обладает собственными ресурсами. Они не всегда очевидны и скрыты в самой ее форме, которая при всей простоте требует все же дополнительного изучения. Особый интерес вызывают динамические ресурсы книги: именно они формируют образ при поиске оригинальных пространственных решений – от внешнего восприятия трехмерного блока через содержательный массив внутреннего пространства со множеством компонентов до процесса листания. При этом поиск органической связи внутреннего пространства визуальных компонентов книги с дизайн-пространством книжного блока вызывает наибольшие трудности при создании образной конструкции.

A book as an object of design has its own resources. They are not always obvious and are hidden in its very form, which, despite its simplicity, still requires additional study. Of particular interest are the dynamic resources of the book: they form the image when searching for original spatial solutions – from the external perception of a three-dimensional block through the content array of the internal space with many components to the process of leafing through. At the same time, the search for an organic connection between the internal space of the visual components of the book and the design space of the book block causes the greatest difficulties in creating its figurative design.
