A documented checklist of the Crustacea (Stomatopoda, Decapoda) of the southern Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil Amapá)
Authors: Poupin Joseph
Published: September 2024

A documented checklist of the Crustacea (Stomatopoda, Decapoda) is provided for the southern Guianas region (sGuianas), a homogeneous ecoregion including Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and the Brazilian State of Amapá. The history of crustacean collections undertaken there between 1759 and 2022 is summarized. In total, 529 species are listed. Biodiversity varies between countries: 165 species in Guyana; 317 in Suriname, 343 in French Guiana, and 315 in Brazil Amapá, as a direct result of different sampling efforts. There are 22 Stomatopoda and 507 Decapoda, ranked by numerical diversity as Brachyura (206), Caridea (113), Anomura (85), Dendrobranchiata (67) and others (36). The list is analyzed with the species classified by major biotopes, distinguishing those from freshwater, mangroves and estuaries, and frankly marine environments. Regional comparisons are made in the Western Atlantic showing that the sGuianas marine fauna is depauperate compared to that of other regions. This is explained by the influence of the Amazon River plume, carrying desalinated water and fine sediments, which leads to the reduction of coral reef formations in sGuianas. Only a few species of freshwater crabs (genera Kunziana and Microthelphusa) are endemic to the region. The pace of species discovery over the years indicates that the sGuianas fauna remains still imperfectly known and that probably more than 600 species are present in the region.

This study examined the effect of health status on labour productivity in Adamawa state, Nigeria. The analysis is based on a sample of 440 observations generated by questionnaire across 10 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in 55 communities. Multinomial logistic regression and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics revealed that the respondents fall within the age brackets 18-61 years and majority have tertiary education as their highest educational qualification. Monthly income of the respondents falls between 18, 000 – 100, 000 naira. Key finding of logistic regression shows positive effect of health status on worker productivity per hour (WPhour). Specifically, health status has a significantly positive coefficient (0.31) at 5% level of significance. Therefore, 1 unit increase in positive health status positively affects the log odds of those workers who work between 1-6 hours by 31% (outcome 1) compared to the base outcome. This indicates that a positive health status is associated with increased probability of productivity. Therefore, the study concludes that positive health status increases the likelihood of higher worker productivity. Based on this finding, the study therefore recommends that policy makers and stakeholders in the health sector should implement practical measures to encourage access to healthcare services to boost health status of citizens.
The Women’s Health Journey Across the Lifespan
Authors: Brown Vivien , Mills Kelsey
Published: September 2024

Generally, with the onset of menses, it is reasonable to consider and provide contraceptive counselling for our patients. Despite the variability in timing of menarche for a given patient, the age of consent in Canada is 16. The age of consent is the age at which a young person can legally agree to sexual activity. Age of consent laws apply to all forms of sexual activity, ranging from kissing and fondling to penetrative intercourse. However, a 14- or 15-year-old can consent to sexual activity as long as the partner is less than 5 years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person. There is also a "close in age" exception for 12- and 13-year-olds. A 12- or 13-year-old can consent to sexual activity with a partner as long as the partner is less than 2 years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person. As providers of healthcare, we need to be aware of these parameters and begin counselling our patients, if appropriate, to offer options for protection from unplanned pregnancy. 
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) reaffirmed in the Contraception Consensus 2015, and later updated during the pandemic, that recommendations for screening, duration of use, follow-up assessments, and the provision of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods as first-line contraception methods should be provided. During pandemic situations, provision of family planning services must be adapted in an evidence-based fashion. For young patients, issues regarding care and counselling may include access, privacy, and timing. As health care professionals, we should be removing any barriers in order to offer care and counselling to young patients.
Intraoperative predictors of in-hospital mortality after open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms
Authors: Bertagna Giulia
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Several models and scores have been released to predict early mortality in patients undergoing surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). These scores included above all preoperative factors and they could be useful to deny surgical repair. The aim of the study was to evaluate intraoperative predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing open surgical repair (OSR) for a rAAA.
METHODS
Between January 2007 and December 2020, 265 patients were admitted at our tertiary referral hospital for a rAAA. Two-hundred-twenty-two patients underwent OSR. Intra-operative factors were analyzed by means of univariate analysis (step 1). Associations of procedure variables with in-hospital mortality rates were sought based on a multivariate Cox regression analysis (step 2).
RESULTS
Overall, in-hospital mortality rate was 28.8 % (64 cases). Multivariate Cox regression analysis reported that operation time >240 minutes (P=.032, OR 2.155, CI 95% 1.068-4.349), and hemoperitoneum (P<.001, OR 3.582, CI 95% 1.749-7.335) were negative predictive factors for in-hospital mortality. Patency of at least one hypogastric artery (P=.010; OR .128, CI 95% .271-.609), and infrarenal clamping (P=.001; OR .157, CI 95% .052-.483) had a protective role in reducing in-hospital mortality rate.
CONCLUSIONS
Operation time >240 minutes, and hemoperitoneum affected in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing OSR for rAAA. Patency of at least one hypogastric artery, and infrarenal clamping had a protective role. Further studies are needed to validate these outcomes. A validated predictive model could be useful to help the physicians in communication with patients’ relatives.

Authors: Legawa Muhammad Raihan Putra
Published: September 2024

This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and literature studies. Interviews were conducted with victims of domestic violence, family members, and authorities such as the police and social workers. Observation was carried out to observe the condition of families and the surrounding environment who experienced domestic violence cases. Literature studies include a review of laws, regulations, and scientific literature related to human rights and domestic violence. The collected data is then analyzed thematically to understand the pattern of human rights violations in the domestic context and the role of the government and society in handling domestic violence cases. The results of the study show that human rights violations in the form of domestic violence often occur in various forms, including physical, emotional, and economic. Domestic violence victims generally experience fear and dependence on the perpetrator, which prevents them from reporting the case

Published: September 2024

Choral singing has a long history in Sweden. Today, choral singing is regularly practised in both sacred and secular organisational forms, involving an estimated six percent (600.000 individuals) of Sweden's population. These choral organisations are widespread and currently cover the entire geographical area of Sweden. Choral organisations can thus not be seen as marginal either in relation to population or area. Paradoxically, despite the number of participants and their distribution, research on choir activities has only been scarcely studied in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to make a contribution to Human Geography by illuminating and creating an understanding of the relationship between choral organisations and geography. Place, Urban – Rural and Sacred – Secular are central elements in this thesis. The empirical basis consists of primary data collected through questionnaires and secondary data in the form of official statistics. In this sense, the thesis makes a contribution to human geography research on choral organisations in Sweden and, more broadly, other contexts. The thesis concludes that choral organisations have a strong relationship to place in Sweden. The thesis presents a mapping of choir organisations in Sweden. The thesis then problematises the common binary perceptions of Rural – Sacred and Urban – Secular. The results indicate that these binaries should be nuanced in relation to choral organisations. The thesis also concludes that choral organisations in Sweden should be interpreted from a post-secular perspective.

The fashion industry represents an important segment of the world economy and employs over 75 million people worldwide. The fashion industry sector has seen spectacular growth over the past decades, and while the fashion sector is booming, increasing attention is being drawn to the impressive range of negative environmental impacts the industry is responsible for. The fashion industry accounts for 10% of total carbon emissions, drains water sources and pollutes rivers and streams. Over 85% of textiles end up in landfills each year (UNECE, 2018), and washing clothes sends a significant amount of microplastics into the oceans. Given the high impact of the fashion industry on the environment, fashion industry leaders have a great responsibility in developing their business models with integrated sustainable development goals, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution. A transparent and sustainable fashion industry is a joint responsibility of producers and policy makers and can only be achieved through the cooperation of all stakeholders, including consumers. Harmonized standards and criteria are critical for a common understanding of sustainability globally and for increasing confidence in claims. In this regard, the global Kering Group manages the development of renowned fashion houses that produce clothing, leather goods and jewelry: Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo, Keelin, etc. promoting creativity in a sustainable and responsible way, coupled with economic performance. Through its very strict standards, the Kering Group shows its care about the impact of the fashion industry on the planet, on climate change and natural resources, and promotes pioneering ideas aimed at preserving natural resources and empowering future generations. This paper outlines the Kering Standard 2025 requirements for the raw material base for the fashion industry, which suppliers must meet in order to be compliant, as well as additional "best practices" that suppliers should work on in the coming years, all relating to Kering's sustainability principles.

Authors: Rahayu Eka Sri , Salfiyadi Teuku , Reca Reca
Published: September 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gargling with lemon juice (Citrus lemon) and betel leaf decoction (Piper betle) on the Debris Index and saliva pH among elementary school students in Aceh Besar District. The background of this research is rooted in the high prevalence of dental caries and other oral health issues in Indonesia, particularly among children. The methodology employed is a quasi-experimental design with two treatment groups, where one group gargles with lemon juice and the other with betel leaf decoction. The results of the study indicate that gargling with betel leaf decoction significantly increases saliva pH (an increase of 1.34) and reduces oral acidity, which is crucial for preventing enamel demineralization and lowering the risk of cavities. Conversely, lemon juice demonstrates a significant reduction in the Debris Index (a decrease of 1.3), highlighting its effectiveness in cleaning plaque and food residues from teeth in the short term. While lemon juice is effective for quick cleaning, its use must be approached with caution due to its strong acidic nature, which can damage tooth enamel if used excessively. In conclusion, this study asserts that betel leaf decoction is superior for long-term use in maintaining oral health, while lemon juice is more effective for quick cleaning but should be used judiciously. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate oral care methods, particularly in populations at higher risk for dental issues.

This systematic literature review explores the relationship between demographic ageing and subjective well-being (SWB), with a focus on the roles of religion and migration background. Demographic ageing, driven by declining birth rates and increased life expectancy, poses significant challenges and opportunities for societies worldwide. SWB, encompassing cognitive and affective life evaluations, becomes a crucial dimension as populations age. This study investigates the[1] multifaceted nature of SWB, considering factors such as health, income, social relationships, and societal roles, which evolve with age. Poor health is linked to reduced SWB, and the growing elderly population presents healthcare and welfare challenges. Social interactions and social bonds play pivotal roles in enhancing SWB, while transitions in income conditions during retirement affect mental health. Religion and migration experiences further complicate the relationship between ageing and SWB, with varying influences reported in existing studies.

Published: September 2024

The online fashion industry faces competent competition, while brand love has become the key to winning a competitive advantage. Thus, brand love has become an interesting concept among academia in brand management-related disciplines. Previous research has not investigated the origins of brand love, specifically, its critical connection to the components of the promotion mix. This study employs the Tri-component attitude model as a theoretical foundation to investigate the influences of components of the promotion mix on brand love, brand loyalty, and word-of-mouth. The survey questionnaire was developed from the relevant literature and deployed in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. Through convenience sampling, 276 individuals from Generation-Z participated in the survey. The Integrated Generalized Structured Component Analysis (IGSCA) was employed using GSCA Pro 1.2.1 software to assess the structural model. Findings show that advertising, personal selling, and sales promotion can predict variance in brand love, which can further predict the variance in brand loyalty and word-of-mouth. Several promotional mix strategies specific to each gender are proposed for practical use with online fashion brands to induce a love for online fashion brands.

THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF THE CHILD’S RIGHT AND THE “BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD” AS A LEGAL CATEGORY
Authors: Aslanyan Tiruhi
Published: September 2024

Children are a universal human value, a special socio-demographic group that needs the care of the state and society. The future of society depends on the physical, mental and moral development of the younger generation. In the modern world, the problem of human and civil rights and freedoms occupies one of the leading places in international relations. Children’s rights are an integral part of universal human rights. Children all over the world need special legal protection because they cannot protect themselves personally.

And naturally, the issue of children’s rights and their protection in all States, regardless of their form, is one of the most acute socio-economic and political issues, the solution of which should be of interest to the entire world community. This is largely due to objective reasons, since the child needs special rights and additional protection mechanisms.

One of the most important categories of legal regulation in the field of international protection of children’s rights is the category “the best interests of the child”. The implementation of the principle of the best interests of the child, assuming its application to all children everywhere and without exception, is extremely necessary at the present stage of development, when millions of children around the world continue to be discriminated against.

The article examines the formation and historical development of the international protection of children’s rights, the analysis of the legal category “the best interests of the child” and its role in the context of the protection of children’s rights.
