Authors: Yunita Prasida
Published: June 2024

Exclusive breastfeeding means the baby receives only breast milk and no other liquids, solids, or even water, except oral rehydration solutions or drops/syrups of vitamins, minerals, or medicines. The success of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months cannot be separated from the support and role of family, such as parents, in-laws, and especially the support of the husband as the closest person.  Good knowledge is needed to succeed in breastfeeding, but fathers' knowledge of the importance of breastfeeding is still shallow, many fathers / prospective fathers do not understand the importance of breastfeeding and its benefits for babies and mothers. Father/partner is one of the most significant factors for breastfeeding success. Fathers/partners influence the decision to breastfeed children and their support influences the experience and duration of breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to find out how fathers know about breastfeeding. The type of research used is qualitative. The population in this study was prospective fathers of III trimester pregnant women (32-40 weeks) as many as 84 people with non-probability sampling techniques with purposive sampling methods. The instrument used is a questionnaire in the form of a checklist sheet that has been tested for validity. The results obtained by most respondents or 51 (60.7%) respondents are less knowledgeable about breastfeeding, both about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for the growth and development of babies, how to provide breast milk, food to increase milk production, and complicating the breastfeeding process. Lack of knowledge of husbands challenging breastfeeding because adequate emphasis has not been given to the promotion of breastfeeding. They need a platform managed by health professionals who can help them and allow them to absorb information and apply it and feel confident and competent as an engaged parent.

Published: June 2024

The study was carried out to evaluate, identify, and characterize various traditional milk preservative plants and investigate their indigenous techniques of handling, processing and preserving in the South-Ari and Maale districts. Data were collected from 196 households by purposive sampling, interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS. More than 12 indigenous preservative plants that were commonly used by the respondents were identified and collected. In the South-Ari district all (100%) respondents used plant species of Lippia adoensis Hochst, Cordia Monoica Roxb., Leucas Deflexa Hook.f and Satureja Paradoxa, while in the Maale district 63.5% of the respondents used only fresh Balanites Aegyptiaca leaves to clean the milk utensils while 36.5% used fresh leaves of Solanum Incanu, Hoslundia Opposita, Balanites Aegyptiaca, Lantana Camara, and Celosia Trigyna. as washing milking and storage vessels. About 96% of the plants frequently used to smoke milk equipment in the South-Ari district were Clerodendrum Myricoides, Eucalyptus Globulus and Olea Africana while almost all (99%) households in the Maale district smoked milk utensils with Balanites aegyptiaca, Solanum Incanum, Lantana Camara, and Ocimum Forskolei Benth. The application methods were through rubbing, burning, and both burning and immersion in the milk vessels. The main cause of the loss of milk after harvest in the South Ari (93.7%) and Maale (40%) districts was milk spoilage. The majority of the 92% in South-Ari and 66.7% in Maale respondents minimize milk spoilage by consuming early or selling to the market. It could be concluded that the herbal plants identified in this study required further examination and their impact on the health of consumers should be studied in detail.
Sacral Chordoma in A Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
Authors:   Chief of laboratories and Associate vice president, Metropolis healthcare limited
Published: June 2024

Chordomas are rare malignant tumours arising from primitive notochordal remnants and comprises of 0.2 % of primary brain tumours and less than 5 % of primary bone tumours [1]. Only 5 % of them occur in the first two decades. Only 300 paediatric cases have been reported so far in the literature [2-5]. The average age at diagnosis in children is 10 years with a male-to-female ratio being close to 1. Adult chordomas are primarily found in the sacro-coccygeal region whereas the majority of paediatric chordomas are intracranial. Metastatic spread seems to be more common in children under 5-year-old with more frequent in case of sacro-coccygeal locations and undifferentiated histology. The tumour location majorly determines the clinical presentation. Sacrococcygeal forms may present with an ulcerated subcutaneous mass, radicular pain, bladder and bowel dysfunctions. Diagnosis is suspected on computerised tomography showing the bone destruction and with typically lobulated appearance, hyperintense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Management of these tumours is based on possible complete primary resection followed by local irradiation, ideally proton beam therapy. A major prognostic factor identified in chordomas was age of onset and it is notable that the worst progression occurs in very young children, under the age of 5 years. Prognosis is better in children than in adults except for the aggressive form of chordomas occurring in children under 5 years of age. The brachyury growth factor (growth factor T) is a specific marker of chordomas, implicated in notochordal development. Its locus 6q27 is frequently amplified within chordoma cells and its inactivation can block growth of chordoma tumour cell lines (U-CH1) in vitro

The Social Sciences have contributed to the study of Sustainable Development from economic analysis, political, social, psychological and media on the consumption of natural resources in reference to their availability, extraction, and distribution, supply and recycling. In this sense, the objective of this work is to outline eight areas for the analysis of water issues. The relationship between availability and consumption of water belonging to the public supply network is described to establish a system of water tariffs set to situational water areas. In the case of water consumption rates, they seem to be due to public policies "clientelistic" that make it unfair charging system, subsidies, penalties, trading and transparency. The prevalence of clientelist system encourages water and increases the problems of conflicts between citizens and government through neighborhood networks against administrative authorities. In the future, the trend of availability and water consumption seems to outline a situation of extreme scarcity in which conflicts over water supply will be an indicator to explain economic crisis, political, social and individual. The discussions of water issues that prevent humanity develop sustainably contribute in building a public agenda water.

Method: This study includes 95 pediatric patients diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever who were followed by the Department of Pediatrics at an Application and Research Hospital in Turkey and agreed to participate in the study. Additionally, 34 healthy children who consented to participate constituted the control group. The diagnosis of patients with FMF utilized the Tel-Hashomer criteria Results: The hormone levels of FMF and control groups were compared. Vitamin D levels, calcium, phosphorus, Parathyroid Hormone and Alkaline Phosphatase levels were analyzed. In the FMF group, the Vitamin D level was found to be significantly lower, while the Ca and phosphorus levels were significantly higher compared to the control group (both with p<0.01). Although the difference in Ca levels between the two groups was statistically significant, the mean Ca levels of both groups remained within the normal range. Conclusion: In conclusion, the significant deficiency of serum vitamin D levels in pediatric FMF patients and its association with disease severity underscores the importance of regular monitoring and potential therapeutic intervention.
Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare sarcoma
Authors:   Dermatology Department. Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición “Salvador Zubirán”, Ciudad de México, México.  CP 14080.
Published: June 2024

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of all primary cutaneous neoplasms.1 A trabecular carcinoma was first described by Toker in 1972. It was named Merkel cell because it expresses Merkel cell markers, which are still being discussed. Regional incidences range from 0.1 to 0.88 / 100,000 person-years, but they are higher in countries like New Zealand and Australia.2 The majority of MCC cases (80%) are caused by Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) clonal integration into the host genome. In the remaining 20% of cases, UV mutations are responsible, and prolonged UV exposure is a factor.3,4 MCPyV early regions contain large and small T antigens, which have been shown to drive tumorigenesis. These proteins may play a role in MCC as well. Cells express a truncated form of LT protein that cannot replicate the virus but retains the domain that inhibits Retinoblastoma (Rb), the tumour suppressor.

Published: June 2024

New World lampyrid taxonomy faces severe taxonomic impediments. Most species remain known from original taxonomic descriptions only, often insufficient for accurate identification. Therefore, the study of type specimens is critical to ensure proper identification. The Russian entomologist Viktor Ivanovich Motschulsky was one of the most important authors of firefly (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) taxonomy during the XIXth century, and his work is still relevant today. Part of his material, including the type specimens of several species, is deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Unlike their European, Asian, and Oceanian counterparts, the taxonomy of Neotropical fireflies is still in its infancy, partly due to largely outdated literature and difficulties in accessing type specimens. Here, we review the type specimens of 38 firefly species deposited at ZIN, 15 of which are holotypes and 7 are lectotypes. For each specimen, the name-bearing status, condition of preservation, as well as the associated label data are provided. Lectotypes are designated for the following species described by Motschulsky: Bicellonycha lividipennis, Ellychnia californica, Lychnuris klugii, Macrolampis longipennis, Pseudolychnuris suturalis, Telephoroides lineaticollis, Telephoroide occidentalis.

Our finding reveals that the application of integration of seed treatment with Trichoderma viride and enriched vermicompost significantly shows 57.14% disease control under pot conditions, outperformed the other bioagents in sustainable management of collar rot disease of groundnut and Pseudomonas fluorescens outperformed other bioagents in enhancement of growth of plant due to their PGPR activity.
Prelude to an abdication
Authors: Berglund Lars , Schildt Maria
Published: June 2024

From November 1652 until June 1654, an ensemble of Italian singers and musicians resided at the court of Queen Christina of Sweden, first in Stockholm and thereafter in Uppsala. They performed both secular music at her chambers and sacred music in the church, and also staged theatrical plays at the royal castle. This article presents new information about the recruitment process and the incentives behind it, and a reconstruction of the repertoire of the ensemble and the performance contexts for that repertoire. The ensemble was not an opera troup, as has repeteadly been asserted in the literature. Instead they were arguably primarily recruited to perform sacred music in a Catholic tradition. The headquarter of the Jesuit Society in Rom was even directly involved in the recruitment of the singers. Thus, the recruitment process went hand in hand with Christina’s plans to abdicate, convert to Catholicism and move to Rome, and must be interpreted as part of that process.

Authors: Luu Ngoc Quang  , Vu Minh Duc  , Tran Quang Minh
Published: June 2024

Buckling and postbuckling behaviors of porous functionally graded graphene platelets-reinforced composite (porous FG-GPLRC) cylindrical shells with stiffeners subjected to external pressures are presented in this paper. Three distribution types of porosity in the shells are considered. The smeared technique for stiffeners is employed to model the mechanical behaviors of the stiffened shells. The mechanical formulations are established by the thin shell theory considering large deflection assumption, and the Ritz method is applied for three deflection amplitudes. The postbuckling formula of the pressure-deflection and the explicit critical buckling pressures can be achieved. The numerical investigations indicate the outstanding effects of stiffeners, porosity distribution, porosity coefficient, and graphene platelet (GPL) mass fraction on the nonlinear buckling responses of the stiffened shells.
Conversations in Breast Cancer Screening: An Exploration of Age, Density, and Emerging Technologies
Authors: Sumar Nureen , Poonja Ali
Published: June 2024

Breast Cancer remains a significant burden in Canada, reflecting global patterns as one of the most common cancers affecting women. In 2023, it was estimated that 26% of all new cancer cases among Canadian women were attributed to breast cancer, contributing to 13% of all cancer deaths in this group. Recent advancements in both detection and treatment of breast cancer have significantly improved cure rates, particularly when breast cancer is detected early. Early-stage breast cancer detected through screening can have a 5-year survival rate of 99%. Thus, the quest for early detection through effective and economical screening initiatives is a critical component in minimizing the burden of disease and reducing breast cancer-related mortality. 
However, ongoing dialogue continues within the medical community regarding the optimal timing of screening initiation for women at average risk. Discussion about the appropriate age to discontinue screening is an evolving topic. This conversation is complex and multifaceted, involving careful consideration of the intricate balance between the benefits of early detection, economic implications of population screening, and potential harms such as overdiagnosis and the psychological impact of false positives. Current Canadian guidelines, last updated in 2018, recommended mammography screening every 2–3 years for women aged 50–74 years, reflecting an expert consensus that considers both scientific evidence and population health needs. These guidelines are under revision with an update expected in 2024, while other major organizations have recently published new recommendations, reflecting the value of early detection at a younger age in the effort to minimize cancer deaths.
Additionally, the efficacy of mammography alone as a screening modality in women with dense breast tissue, who constitute up to 43% of the screening population, has come into question.7,8 This challenge has catalyzed discussion around recommended supplementary screening modalities to improve cancer detection rates in women with dense breast tissue.9 
This article explores the ongoing discourse on breast cancer screening recommendations for average-risk women, including the age at which to initiate and stop screening, imaging modalities, and emerging technologies.

New Approach to Calculate Nuclear Binding Energies of Nickel Isotopes 57-78Ni28 by Using Shell Model
Authors: Alhoulami Nawras Ghazi
Published: June 2024

Depending on the basic assumptions of the Shell Model and by using suitable potentials, we found a new formula to calculate nuclear binding energies of nickel isotopes 57-78Ni28. This formula is related only to the mass number of these isotopes and the number of valence nucleons outside the closed core 56Ni28. When calculating the standard deviation of the experimental data from the theory, we found that our value is better than the value calculated by the Semi-Empirical Mass Formula. It is also better than those calculated by the Integrated Model and calculated by the Modified Integrated Model. This indicates that our inferred formula is better than the most important formulas, which were previously used to calculate the nuclear binding energies for our studied nuclei.

Framing ‘Development’ in Economic Discourse: An Ecolinguistic Perspective
Authors: Saleem Muhammad , Faraz Humera
Published: June 2024

This research explores the discourse produced around the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) from an ecolinguistic perspective; examining how environment can be saved or degraded through the use of language. By analyzing documents taken from the CPEC's website, the study has identified and analyzed the framing of the construct of ‘Development’ by conducting a corpus analysis. Employing corpus-based critical discourse analysis, the research used Fairclough’s (2013) theoretical framework to find out different frames surrounding ‘Development’. The identified development frames are further divided into 14 frames by using Sen’s (2013) approach of sustainability at three levels such as economic sustainability, social sustainability and environmental sustainability. Sen’s approach helped to find out the Ecolinguistic perspective in terms of environmental frames triggered in the minds of people. The findings highlight 14 frames used in the portrayal of development within the CPEC context. The highest frequency is gained by the economic development frame with 425 concordance hits while lowest frequency is gained by the social frames constituting 86 concordance hits. The findings based on concordance analysis suggest that economic development frame is highly triggered by the discourse on the CPEC in the minds of people through infrastructure and industrial development.
EKSPLORASI SECARA MULTIDIMENSI SEBAGAI SUATU PERBANDINGAN TERHADAP DINAMIKA LARANGAN POLIANDRI

This study explores the multidimensional dynamics of the prohibition of polyandry, a marital practice where a woman has more than one husband. Methodologically, the research is grounded in a qualitative approach, drawing on a diverse range of literature, including books, journals, and websites, which are analyzed descriptively and analytically based on the theory of Maslahah. The study aims to provide a deeper understanding and analysis of the dynamics surrounding the prohibition of polyandry and its relevance to the concept of Maslahah. The exploration reveals that the prohibition of polyandry is influenced by social, legal, cultural, economic, and health dimensions. From a social perspective, polyandry disrupts patriarchal structures and complicates issues of lineage and inheritance. Legally, the practice challenges administrative regulations and civil status, reflecting dominant religious and moral norms that support monogamy or controlled polygamy. Economically, while polyandry may address financial constraints in specific settings, it generally reduces economic efficiency and household financial management in the broader societal context. In terms of health, the practice poses risks related to sexual and reproductive health, potentially increasing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and complicating reproductive management. Additionally, through the lens of Maslahah in Islamic law, the prohibition of polyandry is considered an effort to protect the public welfare, minimize harm (mudharat), and enhance social and familial stability. It indicates that the prohibition policy is not only a manifestation of traditional or religious values but also the result of pragmatic and comprehensive consideration of its long-term impacts on the structure and function of society. Overall, the study provides a critical explanation of how the concept of Maslahah justifies the prohibition, ultimately aiming to preserve societal order and overall well-being.

Published: June 2024

El presente artículo científico se desarrolló con el objetivo de determinar la efectividad de la actuación del profesional de enfermería en pacientes con cetoacidosis diabética, mediante la búsqueda de artículos científicos publicados en línea a partir del 2015 en revistas indexadas o estudios de postgrado universitarios, empleando operadores boléanos  como; “AND, OR y NOT” y palabras específicas relacionadas con el tema como Epidemiología diabética, Cetoacidosis diabética y Cuidados del paciente con Cetoacidosis diabética, seleccionando 21 investigaciones por considerar que guardaban mayor relación con el tema. Con los análisis de los resultados de la búsqueda se estableció que la Diabetes Mellitus es una enfermedad causada por el descontrol de los niveles de glucosa en sangre debido a la falta total o poca producción de insulina por el páncreas, que cuando son muy elevados se produce una complicación llamada Cetoacidosis diabética que ponen en riesgo la vida del paciente. De igual forma se determinaron como factores de riesgo de la CAD la edad, falta de control de los niveles de glucosa por incumplimiento de tratamiento, obesidad, sobrepeso, alimentación inadecuada, sedentarismo y bajo nivel educativo de los padres. En cuanto a los cuidados en el servicio de emergencia se conoció que una vez realizada la valoración y diagnóstico el personal de enfermería procede aplicar terapia de insulina e hidratación para evitar complicaciones. Concluyendo que los cuidados de enfermería en los servicios de emergencia son realizados de forma personalizada siguiendo las taxonomías NANDA, NIC y NOC para el proceso de atención de enfermería.

Definition of the Concept of a Transnational Tax Crime for Ensuring National Security and International Cooperation in the Eurasian Legal Space
Authors: Murzagaliev E.
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, modern international law has not developed the concept of countering transnational tax crimes. To combat such crimes, it is imperative to enhance international collaboration between law enforcement agencies and financial institutions. Developing and implementing a unified system for exchanging information on financial transactions and actively pursuing violators will make the system more efficient and transparent. Efficiently utilizing modern technologies and the analytical work done by the concerned authorities will significantly enhance the efficacy of the regulation and prosecution of transnational tax offences, thereby facilitating the prompt and precise identification of the offenders. According to the results of the study, the author proposes to classify transnational tax crimes as follows: (i) tax evasion; (ii) concealment and underestimation of the volume of the taxable base of exporters; (iii) concealment of income received by foreign legal entities and their representative offices; and (iv) other types of crime. To effectively combat this phenomenon in international law, it is necessary to develop an efficient mechanism and adopt a suitable international legal document, such as a convention, agreements, standards, and regulations governing its implementation.

ECOPODE: UM JOGO DIDÁTICO PARA O ENSINO DE ARTRÓPODES NO ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Henriques Cibelle Borges , Tostes Gustavo Martins , Schnorr Samuel Molina
Published: June 2024

Os jogos didáticos são subutilizados por professores, apesar de suas vantagens. Este estudo focou no ensino de artrópodes, ricos em espécies, mas muitas vezes negligenciados. Assim, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi desenvolver e analisar uma proposta de sequência didática para o ensino de artrópodes no Ensino Médio tendo o jogo EcoPode como recurso didático mediador no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Nove professores testaram e deram devolutivas sobre o jogo. Suas respostas foram categorizadas em: percepção sobre jogos como recurso didático; uso de jogos em sala de aula; aspectos positivos e negativos do EcoPode; e sugestões de melhoria. Os professores reconheceram os benefícios dos jogos, mas poucos os utilizaram antes. A maioria expressou interesse em usar o EcoPode no Ensino Médio. Aspectos estéticos, lúdicos e de construção do conhecimento foram destacados como positivos, enquanto a complexidade e o tempo de jogo foram apontados como negativos. Com base nas devolutivas, o EcoPode foi refinado e integrado em uma proposta de Sequência Didática, oferecendo um recurso mais realista para o ensino de artrópodes no Ensino Médio.

Published: June 2024

Um problema bem conhecido da dinâmica é o problema de um carro realizando um loop. Muitos conceitos importantes são abordados nesse problema, como, por exemplo, força centrípeta, força normal e conservação da energia. No presente trabalho, apresentamos uma proposta de experimento de baixo custo para a realização de aulas práticas, desde o nível da educação básica até o ensino superior. Utilizando uma placa Arduino UNO, em conjunto com dois pares de fototransistores e emissores infravermelhos, conseguimos obter uma velocidade inicial para o carrinho de 435 cm/s. O intervalo de tempo que o carrinho levou para percorrer a distância entre os sensores (15,0 cm) foi três vezes mais rápido que um piscar de olhos. A presente proposta experimental, articulada com metodologias ativas, permite trabalhar, além dos conceitos da dinâmica, aspectos qualitativos de eletrônica e programação, bem como as dimensões socioemocionais e a autonomia estudantil.
