Introduction

Monitoring and evaluation of maternal and child nutrition programs typically concentrates on overall population-level results. There is limited understanding, however, of how intervention reach and expected outcomes differ among sub-populations, necessary insight for addressing inequalities. These analyses aim to determine if maternal exposure to social and behavior change (SBC) interventions is associated with scales of maternal practices (antenatal care, iron and folic acid in pregnancy, diet in pregnancy, postnatal care, iron and folic acid postpartum, and maternal dietary diversity) and child practices (institutional birth, health mothers’ group participation, growth monitoring and promotion, early initiation of breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding) in Nepal, overall and by wealth, caste, and geography.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from 2022 from the USAID-funded Suaahara program in Nepal were used for analysis. The study focused on households with children aged 0–2 years (N = 1815). Descriptive analysis was followed by regression models, adjusted for potentially confounding child, mother, and household factors, as well as community-level clustering.

Results

Greater intensity of maternal engagement with the SBC interventions was positively associated with both scales for maternal and child nutrition-related practices. The magnitude of the positive associations, however, was less for the socially excluded caste versus others for maternal nutrition; there was almost no caste-based variation in associations for child nutrition. Positive associations were found only among the lower 40% socio-economically when mothers engaged with at least two platforms for maternal nutrition and at least three platforms for child nutrition. In contrast, engagement with one platform for the relatively wealthier was positively associated with both maternal and child outcomes. Similarly, the positive associations were stronger among those residing in the terai (lowland plains) than those in the hills and mountains for both maternal and child outcomes.

Discussion

The scope for improving maternal and child nutrition practices is significant, in part via well-designed, targeted, SBC programs. These analyses highlight the importance of considering different domains of equity both in implementation and related research. Further mixed methods research is needed to more deeply explore why certain types of interventions reach and/or have a greater effect on sub-populations.
The Cosmopolitan Museum
Authors: Kuper Adam
Published: December 2024

Between 2014 and 2018, funded by the European Union’s ‘Creative European Programme’, leaders of ten European ethnographic museums met to discuss a new kind of Museum of Other People, one that would come to terms with the legacy of colonialism and take account of large-scale migration to Europe from Africa and the Middle East. Pioneered in Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany, this came to be known as the World Culture Museum. It is not a Museum of Other People, because it includes Europe on equal terms, at least in principle, although in practice Europe is present, if at all, only in the form of folk traditions. So what makes a World Culture Museum different from a Museum of Other People?
A Review of SDLCs for Big Data Analytics Systems in the Context of Very Small Entities Using the ISO/IEC 29110 Standard-Basic Profile
Authors: Montoya-Murillo David , Mora Manuel , Galvan-Cruz Sergio , Munoz-Zavala Angel , Alvarez-Rodriguez Francisco
Published: December 2024

Context: A Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a model of phases-activities, roles, and products systematically used to develop software with functional expected quality. Although SDLC is widely applied to various software types, it remains unusual in Big Data Analytics Systems (BDAS). Objective: To address this issue, several SDLCs for BDAS have been proposed, along with comparative studies, to guide interested organizations in adapting them. This research seeks a lightweight, balanced, and feasible for small development teams or organizations, taking advantage of favorable characteristics of the international ISO standard. Method and Materials: This study describes the knowledge gap by reporting a comparative analysis of four relevant SDLCs. A selective research method was applied (CRISP-DM, TDSP, BDPL, and DDSL), focusing on alignment with the recent ISO/IEC 29110-basic profilestandard. The goal was to identify which SDLC contributes and fits better from a lightweight approach. Results: From the rigorous approach Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) showed the highest alignment with the standard, for the agile approach it was Domino Data Science Lifecycle (DDSL) being the closest of the four. Team Data Science Process (TDSP) stood out as the most agile of those analyzed but fell short of the required results. BDPL, which manages another standard, was too rigorous and more distant. Conclusions: Research on new SDLC for Big Data Project Lifecycle (BDPL) has been practically nonexistent in software engineering from 2000 to 2023. Only BDPL was found in the academic literature, while the other three came from gray literature. Despite the relevance of this topic for BDAS organizations, no adequate SDLC was identified
Historizar la memoria
Authors: Ripamonti Paula , Barischetti Mercedes Cecilia
Published: December 2024

El artículo trabaja sobre las posibilidades epistémicas y metodológicas de la historia oral para abordar el pasado reciente. En este marco, cobran relevancia el testimonio, la entrevista y la construcción de nuevas fuentes para la investigación educativa, sobre la base de relatos orales en situación de diálogo. En primer lugar, destacamos reflexiones motivadas desde el desarrollo reciente de la historia oral, vinculadas a la memoria y las subjetividades y las tramas de sentido en la dialéctica del olvido y el recuerdo como parte activa de la memoria. También abordamos la tensión de compromiso y distanciamiento en el ejercicio de una escritura que se articula como diálogo intersubjetivo, entre la escucha y el testimonio. En un segundo momento, desarrollamos las características y los procedimientos específicos de la historia oral, sus modos de producción de información, las narrativas que continuamente son construidas y reconstruidas y el trabajo analítico, categorial y crítico de significación así como las interferencias entre la investigación histórica y las preocupaciones ético-políticas. Además, intervenimos el texto con una investigación educativa que llevamos adelante en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, titulada “Conversaciones con maestras mendocinas” (2016-2021).

Background: Right ventricular diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) increases the volume load on the right ventricle. We aimed to evaluate the association of RVDD with perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods: This single-center observational study included all consecutive isolated CABG patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)>40% from May 2022 to May 2023 who were evaluated for RV diastolic function by transthoracic echocardiography. We divided patients into two groups, with and without RVDD, and then compared the two groups in terms of the primary outcomes of the duration of hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and intubation time, and the secondary outcome composed of postoperative in-hospital complications. Results: Our study found that 49.1% of patients suffered from RVDD, and patients with RVDD had significantly lower systolic blood pressure and were more likely to take angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors than those without RVDD. There was no association between RVDD and primary outcomes of hospitalization time (β=-0.01; 95% CI -0.05, 0.04; P value=0.717), ICU stay (β=0.01; 95% CI -0.18, 0.17; P value=0.984) and intubation time ([β=0.06; 95% CI -0.05, 0.17; P value=0.309). However, more postoperative complications occurred in patients with RVDD (90% vs. 85%). After adjustment for confounding factors, RVDD was not independently associated with primary and secondary outcomes. Conclusion: Preexisting RVDD in CABG patients with LVEF>40% increased postoperative complications but not significantly. More extensive studies are needed to evaluate RV diastolic function before cardiac surgery to identify high-risk patients and optimize their perioperative management.

Published: December 2024

Background: Mental health problems can disrupt traffic behaviors through reduced cognitive function, poor decision-making, increased behavioral errors, and concentration problems. This study aimed to examine the role of psychiatric disorders in pedestrians ‘ traffic behavior. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 275 pedestrians of the Persian Traffic Cohort (PTC) in 2022. The Pedestrian Traffic Behavior Questionnaire, Kessler’s Psychological Distress Scale, and the Structured Assessment of Personality Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS) screening questionnaires for people over 14 years were completed. Then, those who had a score above 3 on the SAPAS or a score above 20 on Kessler’s scale took part in a psychiatric interview by a psychiatrist or psychiatric resident. The data were analyzed in SPSS v. 26 via independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression. Results: The score of positive behaviors was significantly higher in pedestrians without depressive disorder than in those with depressive disorder (95% CI: 42.49–51.17, P value<0.001). The score of aggressive behaviors was significantly higher in pedestrians with depressive disorder than in those without (95% CI: 24.98–28.87, P value=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of pedestrians with and without generalized anxiety disorder in the scores of traffic behavior dimensions (P value>0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between pedestrians with depressive disorder and the score of positive and aggressive traffic behaviors. Meanwhile, the pedestrians’ anxiety disorder was not significantly related to any of their behavioral dimensions. More comprehensive studies should be conducted, taking into account more mental disorders and larger samples, to more precisely explain the impact of psychiatric disorders on pedestrians’ traffic behavior.

Background: Tourism is an industry whose development requires knowledge and enough understanding of the issues and factors affecting the economy, culture, and environment. This study aimed to identify the impact of tourist attractions in the county of Tiran and Karvan, Isfahan, to increase the economic, cultural, and environmental benefits of tourism development; it would be possible to minimize its negative impacts. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study that was conducted using a standard questionnaire in 2013. In this study, 400 tourists, 400 native people, and 50 experts in tourist places in the country of Tiran and Karvan, Isfahan, were included using a randomized sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The region’s most potential tourist attractions are suitable natural attractions and recreational attractions, and the climate of the region with an average temperature of 5 ℃. The tourists’ satisfaction rate with the tourism facilities and equipment of the county was at a low level. The role of tourism is effective in creating jobs and increasing the income of residents of the region. Conclusion: The creation of employment grounds including increasing the income level of indigenous families, organizations related to tourism activities, and institutionalization of the culture of environmental protection are the most important economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of tourism in this area. The most important factor in the weaknesses in the lack of development of country tourism was the lack of management and planning.

Published: December 2024

Background: The ongoing advancements in modern society have negatively impacted air quality, and India is one of the worst affected countries. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of maintaining air quality in 10 major Indian cities. Methods: The present study employed a directional distance function (DDF) within the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the efficiency of 10 major cities including Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Patna, Gurugram, and Thiruvananthapuram from January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2019. Results: The results indicate that air pollution is a significant issue in most cities in India. Thiruvananthapuram, Bengaluru, and Chennai were identified as the most efficient cities in terms of air quality for both 2018 and 2019 whereas Ahmedabad was noted as a purely inefficient city during the same period. Moreover, it was revealed that cities in the northern (Delhi, Lucknow, Patna), western (Ahmedabad), and northwestern (Jaipur, Gurugram) parts of India had higher levels of air pollution compared to the southern (Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram) part of India. Conclusion: There are significant disparities in air quality efficiency among the cities, revealing that southern cities perform better than their northern, western, and northwestern counterparts. It emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to improve air quality, particularly in cities like Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur.

Authors: Muliyadi Muliyadi , Purwanto Purwanto , Sumiyati Sri , Hadiyanto Hadiyanto , Sudarno Sudarno , Budiyono Budiyono , Warsito Budi
Published: December 2024

Background: The lack of understanding of how pollutant removal occurs in biofilter reactors and bacterial community dynamics makes this worthy of study. This review explores biofiltration processes, commonly used biofilter types, bacterial community dynamics, and pollutant removal mechanisms in biofilters. Methods: This review used data from previous studies published on Scopus, EBSCO, and ProQuest, categorized into parameters such as the biofiltration process, types of biofilters, bacterial community dynamics, and pollutant removal mechanisms. The data were narrated, analyzed in a table, and presented in a review. Results: In the biofilter reactor, microorganisms cover the medium, allowing pollutants to flow through gaps and contact the biofilm layer. As the biofilm thickens, adhesion weakens, leading to new colonies. Submerged-bed biofilters, trickling filters, and packed column aeration and gasification systems effectively remove nutrients from aquatic environments. Biofilter bacterial communities are categorized by filter layer depth, with fast-growing, less specialized communities in the upper layer and more specialized communities in the bottom layer. Pollutant biodegradation depends on various factors such as nutrient availability, oxygen concentration, pH, bioavailability of contaminants, and physical and chemical characteristics of the biomass. Conclusion: A biofilter reactor uses microorganisms to cover a medium, allowing pollutants to flow through gaps and contact a biofilm layer that degrades organic compounds. Submerged-bed biofilters, trickling filters, and packed column aeration systems can effectively remove pollutants. Biofilter bacterial communities are categorized by filter layer depth, with fast-growing, less specialized communities in the upper layer, and more specialized communities in the bottom layer.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Plants were used in medicine to treat various diseases long ago, but data on aqueous extracts of quince and dandelion are currently very limited. Objectives: In vitro cytotoxic impacts of aqueous quince and dandelion leaf extracts on leukemia cell lines (Jurkat and K562) were investigated. In addition, the average levels of BCR, ABL and TCR gene expression were studied. Materials and Methods: In current in vitro experimental study, quince and dandelion leaves were extracted via aqueous extraction. Stock extracts (50 mg/mL) were prepared by dissolving 50 mg of aqueous extracts in 1 mL of 10% DMSO and filtering them. Two doses (0.5 and 5 mg/mL) of each extract were subsequently used to determine its cytotoxicity to Jurkat and K562 cells via flow cytometry in vitro killing assay. For genetic studies, the expression levels of the BCR, ABL and TCR genes were retrieved from the gene expression database of normal and tumor tissues 2 (GENT2). Results: The number of killed cells significantly increased when Jurkat and K562 cells were treated with 5 mg/mL dose of quince and dandelion leaf extracts. In the genetic study, the average expression level of BCR ABL was significantly greater in blood samples from patients with cancer than in those from healthy controls. However, TCR expression did not significantly differ. Conclusion: These results highlight the cytotoxicity of both leaf extracts, mainly dandelion, to leukemic cells. Additionally, the expression of BCR ABL in blood cancer should be emphasized.

Дебют псориаза в детском возрасте и наличие форм, пограничных между аллергическими заболеваниями и псориазом, приводит к затруднениям в диагностике заболевания и оценке коморбидных состояний у детей. Приводится клинический пример пациентки 13 лет с дебютом заболевания в 8 лет и полным развитием клинической картины псориаза к 14 годам, анализ применимости для дифференциальной диагностики инвазивных (гистология) и неинвазивных (высокочастотное ультразвуковое сканирование кожи) методов терапии, а также выявление коморбидных состояний (стеатогепатоз), несмотря на отсутствие отклонений в лабораторных показателях крови. У пациентки эхограмма кожи в области высыпаний была типична для псориаза (резкое начало субэпидермальной гипоэхогенной полосы в области высыпаний), а при гистологическом исследовании определялись признаки как псориаза (акантоз, паракератоз, периваскулярные инфильтраты), так и экземы (спонгиоз), что при сохранении зернистого слоя было расценено как проявления аллергодерматоза. Субъективно пациентку беспокоил интенсивный зуд в области очагов. Продемонстрировано, что при наблюдении пациентов с недифференцированными высыпаниями необходимо ориентироваться на данные анамнеза, оценки сочетания клинических симптомов, неинвазивных методов исследования и понимать, что окончательное формирование признаков дерматоза возможно спустя достаточно длительное, зачастую многолетнее течение болезни.

The onset of psoriasis in childhood and the presence of forms of psoriasis with similarities to atopic eczema leads to difficulties in diagnosing the disease and monitoring comorbidities in children. We presents the clinical case of a 13-year-old patient with the onset of the disease at 8 years old and the development of the clinical picture of psoriasis by 14 years old. We analyze the usefulness for the differential diagnosis of invasive (histology) and non-invasive (high-frequency ultrasound skin scanning) methods, as well as the identification of comorbid conditions (steatohepatosis), despite for the absence of abnormalities in laboratory blood parameters. The echogram of the skin in the area of rushes was typical for psoriasis (a clear border of the subepidermal hypoechoic band in the area of rashes), and histological examination revealed signs of both psoriasis (acanthosis, parakeratosis, perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates) and eczema (spongiosis) combined with stratum granulosum, which is absent in psoriasis. The patient had severe itch in the lesions. Patients with undifferentiated rashes should be controlled with the focus on the data of anamnesis, evaluation of the clinical symptoms, non-invasive and invasive methods. The final diagnosis could be possible after a long-term monitoring of the disease.

Bermuamalah, debts and receivables are a form of contract that contains a social aspect which aims to help each other, so that the conditions in the debts and receivables transaction that are set by either one party or both parties are deemed to be incompatiblesharia principles.This research seeks to explain the study of muamalahfiqh regarding the existence of terms of sale and purchase in debts and receivables, as is the case in the community in Jampit Village, Ijen District, Bondowoso Regency.
This research uses descriptive analytical methods. As for the data source in this research, the author used field research.The results of the research are that the practice of debt and receivables that occurs in Jampit Village, Ijen District, Bondowoso Regency is a conditional transaction, because farmers who want to get seeds must be willing to sell the products obtained to the factory through the group leader. The sales proceeds will then be directly deducted from the farmer's debt according to the amount of the debt, then the remainder will be given to the farmer through the group leader. The production selling price has been agreed at the beginning of the contract. When a crop fails, the group leader does not force his members to pay off their debts, but farmers are given more leeway, so they can re-register for the next planting season.
Islamic Law Review of the Practice of Potato Seed Debts and Receivables with Terms of Sale and Purchase in Jampit Village, Ijen District, Bondowoso Regency if seen from the harmony and the conditions have been fulfilled. So the practice of debt and receivables is legal according to Islamic law. Debts and receivables are made based on mutual consent, which means that the terms of debt and receivable transactions in the Village are not prohibited because in this case the parties are not harmed.

Published: December 2024

This article reviews the literature on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in small and medium-sized enterprises, focusing on how they can integrate AI to optimize business processes. Unlike applications (Apps.), AI enables machines to perform tasks that require human intelligence, such as learning and decision-making. The integration of AI into applications has revolutionized technology, enabling customization and efficiency in services. AI offers benefits such as personalized recommendations, virtual assistants, voice recognition, and language translation. Additionally, key authors are mentioned who provide foundational theoretical frameworks for understanding AI. The adoption of AI in small Mexican businesses presents challenges such as technology investment, data privacy, and workforce transformation.

This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive models in higher education, focusing on the personalization of learning, student retention, and academic success prediction. In a constantly evolving educational environment, it is crucial for universities to implement innovative curricula that prepare students for the challenges of the current job market. The study's methodology is based on a descriptive approach, using a semi-structured survey administered to 250 higher education students. The survey included questions about academic performance, academic support, guidance, skills, and interests. The collected data were analyzed using regression techniques with SPSS software, allowing for the identification of relationships between predictor variables and student satisfaction. The analysis results revealed that, although the predictor variables explain a small proportion of the variance in student satisfaction, the identified patterns provide valuable insights for improving educational offerings. Personalization of learning and optimization of student retention emerge as key areas where AI can have a significant impact. In conclusion, while the implementation of AI predictive models presents challenges related to accuracy and ethics, these models have the potential to transform the educational experience in higher education. The study suggests that, with proper integration and alignment with educational objectives, AI can enhance the quality of education and meet the individual needs of students, contributing to a more efficient and personalized educational experience
PARADOXES IN THE STAGE INTERPRETATION OF THE MYTH OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE IN JEAN COCTEAU’S PLAY ORPHEUS
Authors: Astrakhan N.
Published: December 2024

This article explores the peculiarities of the poetics of Jean Cocteau’s play Orpheus, written in 1926. The analysis of the paradoxical artistic thinking of the French artist in this renowned one-act drama of the mid-1920s is carried out within the context of a renewed interest in the image of Orpheus, the actualisation of which within European culture has always been accompanied by significant philosophical and aesthetic shifts since the 6th century BCE. Cocteau’s engagement with the myth of Orpheus follows the publication of Guillaume Apollinaire’s poetic book The Bestiary, or Procession of Orpheus (1911) as well as the staging of Claudio Monteverdi’s opera Orpheus, created in the early seventeenth century and staged on the Parisian stage in 1912 after a long period of oblivion. Cocteau’s one-act drama Orpheus, created against the background of the formation and development of avant-garde French drama, is poetic in structure, built upon the principles of intermediality (synthesis of the arts), and metaphysically oriented towards addressing fundamental existential questions. The thematic content of the work centers around the problematic juxtaposition of poetry and mundane life, love and loss, life and death, and the Apollonian and Dionysian principles (as conceptualized by Friedrich Nietzsche) within the realms of existential as well as artistic and aesthetic creativity – ontological and artistic contradictions revealing their unity within the paradox of individual existence. As a poet within the theatrical arts, J. Cocteau is interested in the challenges of artistic creativity, the nature of poetic talent, its potential, and its limitations. The playwright reinterprets the story of Orpheus’s descent into the realm of death, activating the ancient myth as an interpretive framework that does not negate but complements the religious (Christian) worldview. The theme of Orpheus can be regarded as central to the multifaceted oeuvre of the French artist, enabling comparisons between the 1926 play and Cocteau’s film Orpheus, which he directed and scripted in 1950, tracing the transformations that occur with the characters, as well as thematic and plot motifs in the author’s later artistic interpretation of the previous work.
THE AUTHOR’S GAME WITH THE READER AS A WAY OF DRAMATIZING THE FEUILLETON GENRE IN THE WORK OLENA PCHILKA
Authors: Moklytsia M.
Published: December 2024

The article talks about insufficient attention of researchers to the feuilleton genre, which traditionally belongs to journalism, since the well-known discourse is rooted in the history of modern European periodicals. Meanwhile, the obvious transitivity is being overlooked (liminality) of the feuilleton, its flexible ability to migrate towards fiction. It is proposed to deepen the discourse on the national tradition, folk laughter culture and the School Theater. The feuilleton genre in the work of Olena Pchilka demonstrates exactly this depth of discourse. Despite the great popularity of the name, the work of this writer is known fragmentarily, only for poetry, prose and drama, selectively published in Soviet times. For the first time, the main object on the research was the feuilleton work of Olena Pchilka, presented on the pages of the magazine "Native Land", of which she was the editor for almost a decade (and if you count the editorship of Gazeta Gadyatsky Zemstwo, then for more than ten years). In this weekly newspaper, Olena Pchilka created the column "Tereveni", adding the clarification: "Like a feuilleton", that is, she filled it exclusively with feuilleton, creating a separate pseudonym for them – Someone. The genre-creating feature of feuilleton is the exciting game between two constantly present characters – the Author (a male character, journalist profession) and the Reader, a resident of either a farm or a city, always Kyiv. Dialogues between these virtual characters give feuilletons features of dramatic action, funny scenes from the culture life of the capital are played out, witty and acutely relevant. The playful nature of feuilletons is based on deep folklore traditions (Olena Pchilka’s article "Ukrainian Humor"). The following definition of the feuilleton genre of Olena Pchilka is offered: it is a short epic-dramatic genre using role-playing characters and humor, intended for active communication of a virtual author with a virtual reader.

Aspectos de la formación del Vocabulario Pomier y su relación con el Diccionario Trilingüe: hápax, supuestas voces septentrionales y segundas documentaciones
Authors: Lakarra Joseba A.
Published: December 2024

Analizando hápax, potenciales fuentes septentrionales y segundos testimonios del Vocabulario Pomier (VP), concluimos que en la mayoría el VP es deudor del DT y debe datarse tras 1745 y no entre 1729-1745. Además de adoptar términos del DT de la tradición septentrional y meridional y creaciones de Larramendi, el VP añade préstamos más recientes y nuevos derivados a partir de sufijos y bases del DT. Por otra parte, rechaza algunas creaciones del DT y voces y variantes recogidas de otros dialectos, sustituyéndolas por otras de su habla o de la Provincia. Se trata de un proyecto inacabado de vocabulario guipuzcoano que busca corregir y completar el DT, concebido para el conjunto de la lengua.
