Meaning Shifts of Culture-Specific Expressions: A Case Study of Facebook
Authors:   University Of Nairobi, Barongo Okemwa Carolyne
Published: September 2024

This research aimed to examine the effects of meaning shifts in culture-specific content on Facebook. Specifically, it sought to explore the linguistic, cultural, and grammatical similarities between English and Kiswahili, while highlighting the significant mismatches between these two languages. The study used the theory of Principle of Cultural Translation to provide the theoretical relevance. The target population comprised Facebook pages with a significant following and a focus on CSIs posted within the context of conversations on those pages. The study aimed to examine CSIs posted on Facebook pages based in Kenya on foods, fashion and cultural architecture where English-Kiswahili translations were assessed for errors. The study employed purposive sampling to select a sample of 11 Facebook pages for content analysis. Primary data was gathered through the content analysis method, which involved the systematic preparation, organization, and reporting of the data collected. The study found that lexical, rhetorical, and grammatical mis-matches contributed to misunderstandings and misrepresentations in a variety of domains, including food, fashion, and cultural architecture. Based on the analysis, 80% of the Facebook sources revealed food items like "ugali" and "Nyama Choma" were often reduced to overly simplified translations like "cornmeal" and "grilled meat," failing to capture their rich cultural significance. With regards of fashion, the study found that 70% of the Facebook pages mistranslated the garments such as "kanga" led to a loss of their deeper meanings, contributing to cultural appropriation. Similarly, architectural terms suffered from meaning shifts; 55% of the sources depicted that terms describing unique Kenyan architectural styles were reduced to words like "huts," ignoring the cultural and historical narratives they encapsulate. The study concludes that the meaning shifts of culture-specific expressions related to food, fashion, and architecture in Kenya on Facebook have various negative implications as it leads to misunderstandings that go beyond mere words. The study thus recommends that stickers that contain only the most basic information should be made more useful by scaling them down or making them smaller while figurative language, such as idioms, should be used to describe complex ideas.

The study primarily investigates the constructive mechanisms that promote engagement between civil society and government authorities. It specifically tackles the areas of lobbying, grassroots mobilization, and engagement with partners. Moreover, it analyzes the influence of civil society on environmental policies and their enhancement through the analysis of case studies and theoretical methodologies centered in constructivism. This study intends to clarify the ongoing conflict and constructivism in environmental governance and demonstrate how civil society’s constructive engagement facilitates democratic decision-making and contributes to the advancement of sustainability objectives.
Special Contract Teachers in the Tension Between Professional Practice and Teaching StudiesS
Authors: Wukowitsch Michael
Published: September 2024

The education systems of several European countries face the challenge of recruiting sufficient qualified teachers for their classrooms. The shortage may be due to different types of schools, subjects, or regional boundaries while the education systems of some European countries face one-off shortages, in other countries numerous problems occur at the same time, posing a particular challenge. In particular, the rising average age of teachers and changes in the composition of the population require education policy solutions. A logical target group for closing this gap are therefore teacher education students who have not yet completed their teacher education studies. In Austria, they are legally permitted to take on a certain number of teaching hours under a special contract. This book highlights the relevant motivations that speak in favor of special contract teachers in primary schools taking the step towards autonomy, to characterize the positive and negative experiences made with the various protagonists both at the school site and at the teacher education site, and to make visible the challenges that this double burden involves. Also emphasised are the systematic support measures put in place by the school site and the University College of Teacher Education, as perceived by the special contract teachers. The role of the site-specific school culture for the career entry of special contract teachers is also clarified. Results of the study show that the current full-time degree programmes are not tailored to the needs of special contract teachers. A lack of time and resources has an impact on the quality of teaching, despite good cooperation with the teaching staff. It was found that, in addition to the challenges of qualitative lesson planning and implementation, there is an increased need for knowledge transfer in the areas of classroom management and school law agendas. Language barriers, behavioral problems, problematic working attitudes of individual pupils, and cooperation with parents and guardians also represent considerable factors of uncertainty which are particularly prevalent in the melting pond of a large city. These defined needs were surveyed by special contract teachers, head teachers, and practical instructors. They therefore do not represent a one-dimensional view. Due to changing demographic structures, special contract teachers and lateral entrants are increasingly entering the profession at school locations. For the curriculum development of primary school education, it is therefore recommended that the currently valid modules be evaluated, compared with the needs identified in this study from a multi-perspective, and subsequently considered when selecting and adapting teaching content.
An Analysis of Linkages between Literacy and Economic Participation of Women in India
Authors: Indira M , Chaitra C N
Published: September 2024

An increase in women’s economic empowerment increases access and control over their strategic life choices, which affects their ability to effectively utilize available opportunities and understand their abilities. Education is one of the critical factors influencing women's economic empowerment. Due to several interventions for promoting female literacy, school enrolment of girls has increased, and the literacy rate improved significantly in India, especially in rural areas. However, this has no impact on female work participation when we compare it to male work participation. An attempt is made in the present paper to analyze the linkages between literacy and economic participation of women to understand the inter-state disparities in India. The study observed a weak correlation between literacy and female work participation rate, suggesting that higher literacy will not lead to a high female work participation rate due to the gender norms deeply rooted in the culture.

Published: September 2024

The rapid expansion of urban areas (horizontal and vertical) that occurred throughout the 20th century transformed urban areas into areas that required environmental problems that most urban cities have to face on a global scale. With the rapidly growing population in the urban centers, SWM is turning into a notable environmental challenge and an advent issue, especially in the urban areas (MC) of Uttarakhand. Open throwing and dumping of un-segregated SW pollute the freshwater streams also and open disposal and burning of SW are the main reasons for the adversely affected urban environment, i.e., air pollution, air quality, smog etc. The lack of appropriate SWM facilities has seriously threatened the urban areas. Growing amounts of consumption and waste production combined high-density low-income living Cities, i.e. Rudrapur. Improper management of SWM is just one of the major present problems facing the Rudrapur MC, which are environmental loss, degradation of water and air quality and urban health problems also related to untreated SW throwing, depositing in different parts of urban areas. The present study is based on observation and exploratory research methods by using both primary and secondary data which was collected during a field survey of Rudrapur MC. The entire Rudrapur MC generated a huge amount of SW in quantities comparable to the very small amount collected and transferred to a disposal and treatment site by the MC. Insufficient methods of solid waste collection and transportation in Rudrapur city are not so much improved and there is little access to municipal vehicles for SW collection, transfer and transportation to the final disposal.

Published: September 2024

Machine learning (ML) is a subsection of artificial intelligence (AI) that develops dynamic algorithms for data-making decisions. Medical science is an area where the application of ML can be very productive. The adoption of ML methods in medical sciences especially in the HELLP Syndrome prediction has been slow. Machine learning techniques have shown promise in predicting various complications of pregnancy, including preeclampsia and preterm birth. However, their application in predicting HELLP syndrome, a rare but serious condition, remains relatively understudied. This study investigates the application of machine learning algorithms to predict HELLP syndrome among pregnant women presenting with preeclampsia. The research population comprises 266 pregnant women between 28 and 38 weeks of gestation, recruited from the gynecology-obstetrics department of Mother and Child Hospital “Saadna Abdenour” in Setif, Algeria, between June 2020 and June 2021. The data collected includes epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and evolutionary variables, with a focus on severe preeclampsia cases. The results highlight the potential of machine learning algorithms in predicting HELLP syndrome, providing valuable insights for clinical decision-making and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

A endometriose é uma condição desafiadora na saúde reprodutiva da mulher, especialmente devido à sua complexidade diagnóstica e às variadas manifestações clínicas. Este artigo revisa o impacto da endometriose na saúde reprodutiva da mulher e tratamentos e manejo focados na saúde reprodutiva. Fatores hormonais, inflamatórios e imunológicos desempenham um papel central na progressão da doença, com a dor sendo uma das manifestações mais frequentes. Um diagnóstico rápido e um tratamento adequado, como o uso de terapias hormonais e anti-inflamatórias, são essenciais para prevenir complicações e melhorar a qualidade de vida da paciente. Além dos tratamentos hormonais, intervenções cirúrgicas e técnicas de reprodução assistida podem ser necessárias em casos de infertilidade associada à endometriose, exigindo uma abordagem terapêutica mais complexa e personalizada. O diagnóstico diferencial é facilitado por exames laboratoriais, como dosagem de marcadores inflamatórios, e técnicas de imagem avançadas, como a ultrassonografia e a ressonância magnética. A análise clínica detalhada, considerando fatores individuais, como a idade e o desejo reprodutivo, é fundamental para o manejo eficaz da endometriose. Este artigo destaca a importância de uma abordagem integrada e multidisciplinar para otimizar os resultados clínicos e evitar o uso excessivo de intervenções desnecessárias.

Authors: Shi Tiancong , NACIONAL DR. REGINA B.
Published: September 2024

Most respondents are aged 26 to 30. The data analysis found that the composite mean score is 2.82 with a standard deviation of 0.35, implying an average rating that they agreed that they are confident in their final output or project (M = 2.85), satisfied with their knowledge as communicated properly by the teacher (M = 2.82), and appreciate their learnings by displaying them in the exhibit. The data analysis revealed that they agree that their adult class is always participating in planning and decision-making, rarely loses concentration on the job at hand, and can synchronize activities based on what is required. The research accepted the null hypothesis and inferred that attitudes toward aiding adult learning are assessed similarly regardless of age.  The respondents generally agree that their learning organization is adequately implementing adult education practices. Among the dimensions, "Openness to Ideas" has the highest mean score (2.98), suggesting that respondents feel most positive about the openness to ideas in their organization. "Psychological Safety" has the lowest mean score (2.79), indicating that there may be room for improvement in creating a psychologically safe environment for teachers and learners. The data analysis yielded an average composite score of 2.79 with a standard deviation of 0.33, indicating an average rating. The composite mean scores for all dimensions are in the "Average" range, indicating that respondents generally agree that their learning organization is adequately implementing adult education practices. Among the dimensions, "Openness to Ideas" has the highest mean score (2.98), suggesting that respondents feel most positive about the openness to ideas in their organization. "Psychological Safety" has the lowest mean score (2.79), indicating that there may be room for improvement in creating a psychologically safe environment for teachers and learners.

Authors: Silva Noreen Joy Alfonso
Published: September 2024

Pressure injuries are now the third most costly disease after cancer and cardiovascular disease. Around 60,000 deaths occur annually from the complications of pressure injuries. Pressure injuries are preventable but frequently result in adverse events or severe complications such as infection when developed. This study aims to determine which interventions prevent hospitalized-acquired pressure injuries and are more effective in hospitalized elderly patients. The design used in this study is a systematic review. As presented, it summarizes the studies that were analyzed in the effective interventions in the prevention of pressure injuries in hospitalized elderly patients. Multiple interventions include healthcare professionals’ teamwork measures, education of the healthcare staff, use of risk-assessment tools, offloaded heels or bony prominences, repositioning, and assessment of the nutritional status and the skin. Increasing staff knowledge and patient and family involvement improved health outcomes. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of hospitalized-acquired pressure injuries in elderly patients.

Published: September 2024

The prompt and precise identification of microorganisms is crucial for successful clinical diagnostics and the prevention of infectious disease outbreaks. Traditional diagnostic methods often suffer from limitations such as extended processing durations, elevated expenses, and the necessity for specialized laboratory equipment. In this research, we propose the development of novel nanostructured biosensors that utilize the distinct characteristics of nanomaterials to improve the accuracy, specificity, and efficiency of identifying pathogens. These biosensors are created with the intention of offering point-of-care testing functionality, thus rendering them appropriate for utilization in a range of clinical settings. The integration of advanced nanotechnology with bioanalytical methods aims to create a reliable system for the real-time identification of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. This review encompasses the design, fabrication, and testing of the biosensors, along with a comprehensive analysis of their performance in comparison to conventional diagnostic techniques. The results demonstrate the potential of nanostructured biosensors to revolutionize pathogen detection, offering significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy, which are essential for timely medical intervention and public health management.

Published: September 2024

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the changes that may occur in the morphology of the anal sphincter muscles in hemorrhoidal disease. The relationship between the somatotype features of individuals and the disease were also evaluated.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with 76 stage IV hemorrhoidal disease patients and 75 controls. Internal (IAS) and external (EAS) anal sphincter muscle thicknesses were measured at the middle anal canal level and in four quadrants (anterior, posterior, right, left), puborectalis muscle thicknesses were measured at the upper anal canal level and in two quadrants (right, left) by using 3D-endoanal ultrasonography (3D-EAUSG). Anal triangle dimensions were measured with a digital caliper and the area was calculated with the relevant formula. Somatotype features of individuals were determined according to the Heath-Carter formula.
Results: It was observed that the external anal sphincter muscle thicknesses were higher in the right and posterior quadrants of the patients compared to the control group. The internal anal sphincter muscle thicknesses were thicker in the right and anterior quadrants in the patient group. Somatotype features of individuals in the patient and control groups were similar.
Conclusions: The thickenings in some quadrants of the anal sphincter muscles in the patient group can be considered as a result of hemorrhoidal disease. However, the fact that there is no difference in terms of the mean value cannot confirm its relationship with the disease. Therefore, it can be concluded that individual somatotype differences do not have any effect on the pathogenesis of hemorrhoidal disease.

Authors: Demir Tugcan , Karaca Halil , man Murat , Aksoy Seyit
Published: September 2024

Objective:Surgical treatment of 5th metacarp neck fractures using titanium elastic nail (TEN) is performed under general anesthesia or axillary block. In this study, our aim is to present the clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent surgery under local anesthesia for the TEN entry site and hematoma block for fracture reduction.
Methods: There were 14 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the study. Radiologically, metacarpal shortness and volar angulation angles at the time of admission, after reduction in the ER and after surgical intervention when the fusion had been achieved were evaluated. Clinically, rotational deformity, range of motion of the affected finger were evaluated according to Quick DASH scores.
Results: The volar angulation before and after reduction in ER was found to be as a mean of 46.2° (33-60°) and 40.6° (30-48°) respectively. After surgical intervention a mean of 17.2° (10-22°) was achived at the final follow-up. The metecarpal shortness was determined to be mean 4.4 mm (1.8-7.3mm) on first presentation, 3 mm (2-5 mm) after reduction in ER, and 2 mm (1.2-3.3mm) at the final follow-up examination in surgically treated group compared to healthy side. Radiological bone union was observed in mean 35 days, there was no pain on palpation, and the TEN was removed. Finger flexion and extension were determined to be full at the end of the 3rd month and no rotational defomity was observed. The mean Quick DASH score of the patients was 1.5 (1.2-2).
Conclusion:5. metacarpal fractures with TEN under hematoma blockage and local anesthesia and leaving the proximal end out of the skin is a safe method for the treatment of such fractures.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the early effects of the mode of delivery on the newborn in cases of non-complicated primiparous and multiparous vaginal deliveries who were admitted to the clinic in active labor, and elective cesarean section by analyzing fetal umbilical cord blood gas.
Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 120 cases were enrolled in the study, including 40 primiparous cases, 40 multiparous cases, and 40 elective cesarean section cases. Age, pregnancy history, medical history, age of gestation at birth, delivery type, fetal Weight, APGAR score, baby gender and fetal blood gas values were statistically analyzed.
Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the primiparous vaginal delivery group and the cesarean section and multiparous vaginal delivery groups in the parameters of age, gravidity, parity, and fetal Weight, with primiparous vaginal delivery showing significantly lower parameters. When compared with multiparous and primiparous vaginal delivery, a statistically significant difference was observed in APGAR 1 score, with C/S births having lower scores. In primiparous vaginal delivery, it was found that pH, pH(T), Base(Ecf)c, cHCO3(P)c, cHCO3(p,st)c, cBase(B,ox)c, and cBase(Ecf,ox)c were significantly lower compared to other groups, while only higher levels of pCO2 and mOsmc were observed. In the cesarean section group, lower levels of ctHb, Hctc, cCa, cGlu, and cLac parameters were observed compared to other groups, while the cNa level was significantly higher. Significant differences were found only between primiparous vaginal delivery and cesarean section groups in the parameter cK, with a significantly lower cK value in the C/S group.
Conclusion: Primiparous pregnant women exhibited lower birth weight, lower pH in umbilical cord blood, and higher levels of pCO2, while in the cesarean group, lower APGAR score at 1 minute, lower levels of hemoglobin, calcium, glucose, lactate, and potassium were observed.
Roles of plant cell wall modifications and nutrient signalling in plant-plant interactions : insights on plant parasitism and grafting
Authors: Leso Martina
Published: September 2024

Parasitic plants and grafting are examples of plant-plant interactions and plant regeneration. In plant parasitism, one plant connects to another to steal its resources, while during grafting the reconnection allows the survival of both individuals as part of a new individual. Plant regeneration is linked to the availability of nutrients in the environment and involves the modification of the cell wall. In this thesis, we studied the roles of sucrose and nitrogen signalling and of cell wall modifications during Arabidopsis thaliana grafting and plant parasitism by the facultative parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum. We found that applying sucrose or nitrogen inhibited both plant parasitism and graft reconnection (papers I and IV). We showed that the inhibition of plant parasitism by nitrogen is mediated by abscisic acid signalling in P. japonicum (paper I). We also discovered a long-distance signalling mechanism in P. japonicum to balance the availability of nutrients with the number of parasitic organs (haustoria) (paper II). We termed this phenomenon “autoregulation of haustoria”, and discovered it is mediated by cytokinin signalling. In paper III, we found that pectin methylesterification is modified during the development of P. japonicum haustoria in a tissue-specific manner, to allow host penetration and vascular connection to the host xylem. Finally, in paper IV we discovered that sucrose inhibits graft reconnection by activating cellulose biosynthesis, and that this phenotype can be rescued by applying abscisic acid. Overall, our results contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms regulating plant grafting and parasitism, and suggest interplay between cell wall, nutrients and hormone signalling.

Afeta principalmente crianças de 3 a 7 meses, com diagnóstico realizado por EEG e tratamentos como ACTH, corticosteroides e vigabatrina. Objetivo: Este estudo analisa a eficácia do canabidiol (CBD) no tratamento da SW em crianças. Os objetivos são identificar estudos sobre o uso do CBD para crises epilépticas, comparar com outras terapias e avaliar a segurança do mesmo. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura em bases de dados relevantes como PubMed e Scielo, selecionando estudos dos últimos 10 anos. Foram incluídos 19 dos 41 estudos identificados, após excluir aqueles irrelevantes ou com dados insuficientes. Resultados e Discussão: O CBD demonstra potencial terapêutico para reduzir crises epilépticas na SW, com eficácia confirmada por estudos como os de (Schimitt et al. 2018) e (Devinsky et al. 2018). O CBD melhora a qualidade de vida e ainda atua como anticonvulsivante e neuroprotetor, mas o uso prolongado pode diminuir sua eficácia e causar efeitos adversos. Conclusão: O canabidiol é promissor para tratar SW, especialmente em casos refratários, porém apresenta desafios como diminuição da eficácia e efeitos adversos. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para otimizar a segurança e eficácia. Esta revisão sistemática contribui para a tomada de decisões clínicas baseadas em evidências sobre o uso do CBD na SW.

Trata-se de pesquisa centralizada no atual quadro teórico-operacional das inscrições de crédito público lançadas e/ou operacionalizadas pela Justiça do Trabalho em face de devedores falimentares, trabalhando a partir de métodos de revisão bibliográfica e de raciocínio lógico-legal, a partir do quadro normativo vigente. Demonstra-se, no primeiro momento, os fundamentos teóricos do regime falimentar dentro do direito moderno, avançando-se para os meios em que este regime especial se relaciona, no Brasil, com as prerrogativas especiais do crédito público. Na sequência, investiga-se as especificidades envolvidas no âmbito trabalhista, com seu assente nos processos de crise da modernidade, justificando um quadro especial, bem como sua relação com vários créditos públicos submetidos à sua apreciação. Por fim, averigua-se como cada verba remetida da Justiça do Trabalho está sendo operacionalizada nos autos falimentares, analisando criticamente os procedimentos para sua inscrição Como resultados, observou-se que os créditos enfrentam entraves sequenciais, muito embora os recentes movimentos correicionais tenham melhorado o processo de inscrição a partir do juízo trabalhista. Ainda, apresentou-se sugestões com o objetivo de melhorar o processo.

Mục đích của nghiên cứu này là khảo sát ảnh hưởng của việc lắp đặt hệ thống ống giải nhiệt đến trường nhiệt độ của khối đổ bê tông trong vòng 7 ngày theo phương pháp Mock-up tại khuôn viên dự án điện gió Sóc Trăng. Trong nghiên cứu này, hai loại khối đổ bê tông có và không có lắp đặt hệ thống ống giải nhiệt với kích thước 2×2×2 m được thi công. Các cảm biến nhiệt độ được lắp đặt tại 7 vị trí trong khối đổ bê tông đối chứng không có lắp đặt hệ thống ống giải nhiệt (M0) và 6 vị trí trong khối đổ bê tông có lắp đặt hệ thống ống giải nhiệt (M1) để ghi nhận sự phát triển nhiệt độ trong bê tông. Cấp phối bê tông sử dụng cho hai khối đổ trong nghiên cứu này được thiết kế với cường độ chịu nén ở 7 ngày tuổi của mẫu lập phương (150×150×150 mm) tối thiểu 50 MPa và độ sụt 160 mm. Nhiệt độ từ hai khối đổ M0 và M1 được ghi nhận theo tần suất 1 giờ/lần với thời gian bắt đầu ghi nhận tính từ thời điểm đổ bê tông cho hai khối đổ. Kết quả cho thấy rằng hệ thống ống giải nhiệt cho bê tông đem lại hiệu quả trong việc làm giảm nhiệt độ cao nhất trong khoảng thời gian ngắn nhất và tốc độ hạ nhiệt cao hơn trong khối đổ. Tại vị trí điểm góc, nhiệt độ của khối đổ thấp hơn các vị trí khác, không phụ thuộc vào việc lắp đặt hệ thống ống gia nhiệt, và nguyên nhân có thể là do khoảng cách đến mép ngoài khối đổ nhỏ, dẫn đến việc thất thoát nhiệt trong quá trình lắp đặt lớp cách nhiệt.
