Differentials and Determinants of Cesarean Deliveries in India: Insights from High Prevalent States
Authors: S. Hallad Jyoti , A. Golandaj Javeed , S. Kampli Mallikarjun
Published: February 2025

Purpose: With the increasing prevalence of cesarean deliveries in India, this study aimed to assess the differentials and determinants of these deliveries in highly prevalent states across India. This study used mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) to fulfil the objectives.
Design/methodology/approach: The research team collected quantitative data from recently delivered mothers through normal vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. Moreover, qualitative data was collected via in-depth interviews (IDIs) from 37 obstetrician-gynaecologists. While analyzing quantitative data, proportion tests and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used.
Findings: Proportion tests suggest that the prevalence of cesarean delivery was significantly higher in private health facilities, obese women, and women who had a history of cesarean delivery and who were living in households with business- or salary-based income. After adjusting for other covariates, the regression results suggest that women who delivered in private health facilities and those who were obese were more likely to have a cesarean delivery compared to women who delivered in public health facilities and those who were not obese, respectively. We did not find any association between cesarean deliveries with age and physical stature of women. Women who are obese, delivered in private health facilities, and had a previous history of cesarean delivery are more likely to be delivered through cesarean delivery. The qualitative data support these findings.
Originality: To tackle increasing cesarean rates, the government needs to develop strict policies centric on primigravida and obese women. Moreover, rigorous monitoring of private health facilities might help control increased cesarean rates.

Key words: Cesarean delivery, qualitative, quantitative, differentials and determinants, India.

Collaboration Between Private Universities and the Government in Advancing Human Resources Based on the "Spirit of Maubereism" in Timor-Leste
Authors: Albertino de Jesus
Published: February 2025

This study examines the collaboration between the government and private universities in advancing human resource development (HRD) in Timor-Leste, grounded in the spirit of Maubereism. The study's background highlights Timor-Leste's challenges in HRD, as evidenced by its relatively low Human Development Index (HDI) compared to other ASEAN countries. Collaboration between the government and private universities is viewed as a pivotal strategy to address these challenges.Employing a qualitative approach and case study method, the research aims to analyze the collaboration processes, identify enabling and constraining factors, and develop an effective collaboration model. The research adoPU the collaborative governance framework proposed by Ansell and Gash (2007), encompassing four dimensions: initial conditions, collaborative process, facilitative leadership, and institutional design. This theoretical framework is integrated with the concept of Maubereism, which emphasizes local wisdom values such as the spirit of struggle, solidarity, and communal cooperation.The findings reveal that the collaboration between the government and private universities in Timor-Leste has led to several innovative HRD programs. Key enabling factors include stakeholder commitment, supportive legal frameworks, and heightened awareness of HRD's importance. Conversely, challenges include limited resources, weak coordination, and differing priorities between the government and private universities. Based on these findings, this study proposes a Maubereism-based collaboration model integrated with the Ansell and Gash framework. The proposed model underscores the importance of incorporating local values at each stage of the collaboration process. The model's key elements include; (1) Strengthening initial conditions through trust-building and a shared understanding of Maubereism values. (2) A collaborative process emphasizing inclusive dialogue and consensus-based decision-making. (3) Facilitative leadership that prioritizes solidarity and communal cooperation. (4) Institutional design accommodating both traditional and modern structures.This study contributes to the development of collaborative governance theory by integrating perspectives of local wisdom. Practically, the proposed model offers guidance for the government and private universities in Timor-Leste to design and implement more effective and sustainable HRD programs.

Published: February 2025

Studying is typically associated with some levels of stress due to the adjustment to new social and educational settings, but academic stress problems among university students have become more prevalent. This study addresses a question of how academic stress, workload, performance, and facilities are related among the university students. It examines the relationship between academic facilities, self-regulation, academic workload, and academic performance, and academic stress among the university students. A total of 110 students voluntarily participated in this study and completed the questionnaire. The results of the multiple regression analysis reveal a significant relationship between academic workload and academic performance; however, there is no significant relationship between academic facilities and self-regulation and academic stress. The findings suggest that academic workload and academic performance are the most important factors that may influence academic stress among university students. Future research should increase and diversify the samples to improve the generalisability of the results.

Published: February 2025

In several tropical countries, buffalo milk has a higher-value demand than cow milk due to its nutritional and economic value. In India, the buffalo is the main dairy animal and contributes 45% of the total milk produced in the country. Besides the nutritional value of milk, several allergen proteins such as casein, α-lactalbumin, β- lactoglobulin (BLG), and immunoglobulins have been reported. Breeding strategies, nutritional management, and quantitative genetics have improved milk yield, but these approaches could not lead to significant changes in milk composition. With the development of biotechnology, especially genome editing tools (CRISPRs), it is possible to generate new value-added products such as designer hypoallergenic milk for human health benefits. Keeping this in mind, we planned to utilize the CRISPR tools to disrupt the buffalo β-lactoglobulin (BLG) gene to produce hypoallergenic milk in the long run. In pursuit of our objectives, we designed three single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting the BLG locus in buffalo. Subsequently, we assessed their editing efficiency through a combination of Sanger sequencing, followed by TIDE and ICE analysis. Among three sgRNAs, the most efficient sgRNA was used to generate the clonal population of edited cells. Several single-cell clones were established and screened using the TA cloning (also known as rapid cloning or T cloning) and Sanger sequencing methods. Of 14 single-cell clones screened, eight were found to have BLG gene disruption events (57% editing rates). Using SCNT, we successfully produced cloned blastocyst stage embryos from 4 BLG-gene disrupted clonal cells. The cloned blastocyst production rates (25 to 30%) were similar to non-edited control cells. Efforts are ongoing to establish pregnancies from BLG-KO cloned embryos. This work can lead to the generation of designer buffaloes to produce hypoallergenic milk for human benefit.

Published: February 2025

Buffalo cloning is a powerful assisted reproductive tool for multiplying elite buffalo germplasm. However, the live off-spring production efficiency is low due to aberrant epigenetic reprogramming. Aberrant epigenetic marks can be modified by culturing donor cells and/or one cell stage fused embryo or both with epigenetic modifiers alone or in combination. In the present study, we examined the effect of oxamflatin (OxF), ascorbic acid (AA), and their combined (OxF+AA) effect on in vitro developmental competence, quality, and pregnancy establishment rate of buffalo cloned embryos. Oxamflatin is a histone deacetylase inhibitor, whereas ascorbic acid is a hypomethylating agent. To achieve this aim of the study, reconstructs (fused two enucleated ooplasm + donor cell) were cultured for 8 h, i.e., 4 h post-fusion and 4 h post-activation with 1 μM oxamflatin (OxF), 50 μM ascorbic acid (AA), and there combined (OxF+AA) treatment. There was no significant (p<0.05) difference in cleavage rates when reconstructs were treated with oxamflatin (81.34±0.81%), ascorbic acid (82.76±0.51%), combined treatment (82.17±0.54%) compared with control (82.87±0.63%). The blastocyst production rate was significantly higher (p<0.05) in combined treatment OxF+AA (41.64±0.95%) as compared to OxF (34.88±1.22%), AA (38.99±0.69%) and control (30.29±0.77%). The TUNEL assay showed a significantly lower (p<0.05) apoptotic index in combined (OxF+AA) treatment (1.43±0.43) as compared to oxamflatin (3.54±0.46), ascorbic acid (3.24±0.49) and control (5.06±0.48). The cloned embryos were transferred to the synchronized recipient (n=15 to18 buffaloes in each group), and the conception rate was observed better in combined treatment (OxF+AA) (46.66%) than oxamflatin (16.66%) and ascorbic acid (12.50%). At the same time, no pregnancy was reported in the control group. In conclusion, the combined treatment with oxamflatin and ascorbic acid improves the in vitro and in vivo developmental potential in buffalo-cloned embryos, which could probably be due to decreased methylation and increased acetylation of the embryos.
Elmer Belt, Harry Benjamin, and the Birth of Gender-Affirming Surgery in the United States
Authors: Hines Laena , Osinski Thomas , Rabinowitz Ronald , Diamond David
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction

Gender Affirming Surgery (GAS) originated in early 20th century Europe and innovators there established some of the first surgical and social principles of GAS. GAS in the United States, however, lagged behind in practice and acceptance. Two American pioneers in the care of patients undergoing gender-affirmation therapies were Elmer Belt and Harry Benjamin. How they became dedicated to GAS and establishing a new standard of care for GAS in the United States is less clear. Our goal was to describe how Belt and Benjamin created GAS in the US, in the context of their time, and how their work influenced our current approach to transgender care.

Sources and Methods

We accessed the private papers, correspondences, and memos of Belt and Benjamin from their private libraries, donated collections to local archives or libraries including the University of California at Los Angeles, the National Library of France (Paris), and the National Library of Medicine (Bethesda). We used secondary sources as cited.

Results

The first documented GAS was performed in Berlin at the Charité Hospital in collaboration with Magnus Hirschfield’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in 1922. Thirty years later, the sensational story of Christine Jorgensen, an American GI who underwent transgender surgery in Denmark, sparked US interest in transgenderism. By the early 1950s, US endocrinologist and transgender activist, Harry Benjamin, sought a surgical partnership with Elmer Belt, a Los Angeles urologist. Belt became the first surgeon in the US to perform gender affirming surgery, though he did so in secrecy. His surgical interventions included penectomy, vaginoplasty, and abdominal transposition of the testicles. Despite the safeguards that Belt and Benjamin created, Belt ultimately discontinued gender affirming surgeries as he feared patient regret might lead to either legal or personal retribution. These unofficial safeguards ultimately influenced the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) standards of care, leaving a lasting impact on the field of gender affirming medicine.

Conclusions

Benjamin and Belt were extremely influential in the birth of gender affirming surgical care in the US

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma patologia da linguagem que, dada a sua efervescência em número de casos e diagnósticos, tem fomentado estudos e discussões acadêmicas em diferentes áreas. Ao longo deste artigo apresentamos o recorte de uma pesquisa desenvolvida entre 2022 e 2023 que teve como objetivo principal investigar os aspectos significativos envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa para crianças com TEA em contexto de educação inclusiva nas séries iniciais da educação básica. Como objetivos específicos, buscamos compreender os desafios e vulnerabilidades que os professores das séries iniciais enfrentam atuando em contexto de educação inclusiva e os fatores internos e externos que contribuem para uma abordagem significativa de ensino-aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa para crianças com TEA. De natureza qualitativa e exploratório-etnográfica, e ancorada nos pressupostos da Linguística Aplicada, foi possível identificar que os professores que atuam nas séries iniciais da educação básica regular enfrentam uma série de desafios e vulnerabilidades no acolhimento de crianças com TEA em suas aulas, que vão desde a ausência de políticas públicas à falta de formação inicial para atuarem nesses contextos. Especificamente no âmbito do ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa para crianças com TEA neste contexto, notamos que, mesmo diante dos desafios e vulnerabilidades, os professores têm conseguido desenvolver abordagens significativas e que estimulam a aprendizagem do inglês para essas crianças nas séries iniciais.
Letras ou Pedagogia? Uma reflexão sobre a formação docente no ensino de língua adicional com/para crianças
Authors: Machay Mariana Cardoso , Costa Graça Juliana Mello Monaris
Published: February 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão comparada sobre a formação do professor de língua adicional na infância. Dentre as principais discussões acerca da formação docente está a pergunta sobre a que profissional compete esse ensino. A partir da análise de sua trajetória de formação profissional,  duas docentes da área com formações iniciais distintas em pedagogia e letras, refletem sobre as implicações dessa formação na prática docente. A metodologia de pesquisa deste estudo é qualitativa de abordagem autoetnográfica e colaborativa. O presente artigo visa contribuir para ampliar a discussão sobre as especificidades do ensino de línguas na infância e a formação docente para atuar nesse ensino. Conclui-se que a formação “ideal” seria a junção dos dois cursos de graduação: Letras e Pedagogia. Sendo assim, a busca por formação continuada constitui-se como algo imprescindível para o preenchimento das lacunas inerentes a ambos os cursos de graduação. Através da reflexão crítica sobre a prática é possível modificar e ampliar os saberes teóricos.

DGCOS: Dynamic Grouping approach for customer order scheduling
Authors: Mekour Mansour , Houacine Abdelkrim
Published: February 2025

The dynamic nature of modern industries demands innovative strategies to tackle the challenges of customer order scheduling, particularly in environments characterized by fluctuating demands and constrained resources. This paper introduces a novel approach known as Dynamic Grouping for Customers Order Scheduling (DGCOS), a paradigm that leverages adaptive grouping and strategic optimization to enhance operational efficiency. DGCOS dynamically segments orders into clusters based on shared attributes such as delivery timelines, production requirements, and resource dependencies, enabling real-time adjustments and efficient resource allocation. By streamlining the decision-making process and integrating dynamic grouping computational techniques, DGCOS achieves significant reductions in delivery delays, enhances resource utilization, and fosters robust adaptability to unforeseen disruptions. Experimental results, derived from diverse problem instances, highlight the efficiency of the DGCOS in balancing operational constraints with customer satisfaction. The findings underscore the potential of DGCOS to redefine scheduling paradigms in dynamic and competitive business environments.

A Medicina de Família e Comunidade (MFC) é uma componente crucial da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), oferecendo cuidados integrados e contínuos, com impacto positivo na qualidade de vida e na redução de hospitalizações. Este artigo realiza uma revisão da literatura sobre a eficácia da MFC, seus desafios e as responsabilidades dos médicos de família, com ênfase na sua implementação em contextos diversos, como o Brasil. A pesquisa, baseada em artigos, teses e dissertações publicadas entre 2017 e 2024, analisou práticas, formação profissional e políticas públicas relacionadas à MFC. Utilizando bases de dados como PubMed e SciELO, a análise qualitativa identificou padrões e temas recorrentes, embora tenha sido limitada pela restrição temporal e pelo acesso parcial a alguns estudos. A pesquisa revela que sistemas de saúde que priorizam a APS com médicos generalistas, como os MFCs, alcançam melhores resultados clínicos e financeiros. A MFC adota uma abordagem holística e é fundamental para a gestão contínua dos cuidados, atendendo a aspectos biológicos, psicológicos, sociais e culturais. No Brasil, a escassez de profissionais, especialmente fora dos centros urbanos, dificulta a expansão desse modelo, o que compromete a equidade no acesso aos cuidados.

Introduction:

Sri Lanka has no formal care pathway to assess for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), which may lead to later diagnosis, more invasive treatments, and long-term adverse health outcomes. With the goal of developing a care pathway for DDH in Sri Lanka, we first surveyed relevant medical specialties regarding their experience with DDH screening, diagnosis, and treatment to understand current screening and diagnosis practices.

Methodology:

A panel composed of four members affiliated with three Sri Lankan organizations collaborated with our team of researchers to inform the development of three specialty specific surveys. We distributed the surveys electronically to radiologists, pediatricians, neonatologists, and orthopedic surgeons.

Results:

From the surveys, we gained an understanding of the present screening procedures. We identified potential areas to improve screening and diagnosis, including investigating the reliability of ultrasound (US) imaging reports and providing guidance on conducting appropriate referrals.

Discussion:

These results will help inform the development of a DDH care pathway specific to the local context and needs in Sri Lanka.

Conclusion:

Care pathway development must be mindful of resource availability and strive to increase awareness of best care practices among healthcare practitioners.

Published: February 2025

We used 2019-2021 TROPOMI satellite observations of atmospheric methane in an analytical inversion to identify methane (CH4) emissions in Bangladesh from 2019 to 2021. Methane is considered as second most important greenhouse gas (GHG) contributor, with nearly 28 times more potential to global climate change next to carbon dioxide. Monitoring and predicting atmospheric methane concentrations is important in global efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This study made an effort to detect existing concentrations of CH4 at the atmospheric level of Bangladesh, hot spot identification, and spatial-temporal pattern detection using remote sensing. The study used daily column-averaged dry air column methane mixing ratio (XCH4) data retrieved from TROPOMI measurements. Weekly/monthly average concentrations were extracted from Sentiniel-5P satellite images. The batch inverse Distance weighting (IDW) interpolation technique was conducted on raw images (excluding October months) to fill in missing values in the images. The emerging hot spot analysis tool (ArcGIS Pro) was applied to the weekly interpolated images to identify statistically significant spatiotemporal hotspots of CH4 concentrations. Results indicate that the persistent hot spot and intensifying hot spot of methane concentrations are prominent within the Dhaka Division. An intensifying hot spot of CH4 was found within the Dhaka district, which indicates that it is a hot spot for the study period. Source point detection and real-time monitoring can be more effective in identifying the methane emission reduction mechanism.

Based on observations made by PT. PLN (Persero), Plumpang Feeder has a large voltage drop and high-power loss. To analyze in more detail, a simulation was carried out using ETAP (Electrical Transient Analysis Program) software. The results of the ETAP simulation, the Plumpang Feeder has end voltage of 19,083 V from a nominal voltage of 20,000 V. The voltage drop is -4.58% and the power loss is 594.7 kW or -1122kVAR. To overcome this problem, a load split or breaking method is carried out by moving some of the load of the Plumpang Feeder to the New Plumpang Feeder so that the total load current of the Plumpang Feeder will decrease and the voltage drop and power loss will also decrease. The Load Breaking Method is carried out at each Cut Off (CO) Branch where the loads to be moved. After the Load Breaking Method is applied, based on ETAP simulation results, the end voltage at Plumpang Feeder increased from 19.083 V to 19.307 V or have a change in voltage drop from -4.58% to -3.47%. The power loss decreased from 594.7kW to 92.4kW or experienced a change in power loss from 0.0129% to 0.0043%.
