Published: December 2022

Objective: Low birth weight is defined as weight at birth of <2500 g as per the World Health Organization. Low birth weight (LBW) newborns have higher risk of morbidity and mortality during perinatal period. The aim of the study was to ascertain the maternal factors leading to low birth weight in newborns. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done for a period of 1 year. Mothers delivering term LBW babies from singleton pregnancy were taken as cases and mothers with term, normal weight newborns from singleton pregnancy were termed as control group. Babies with congenital malformations, still births, and multiple gestations were excluded from the study. Written consent for the study in local language from each subject was taken. Institutional ethical clearance was obtained. Results: One thousand two hundred and fifty-six babies were born during the study period and out of these 258 babies were weighing <2.5 kg thus the incidence of LBW <2.5 kg was 20.54%. Young maternal age (<30 years) and multi parity (≥3) had significantly increased LBW incidence of 28.7% and 32%, respectively. Pregnancy complications such as anemia and pre-eclampsia had significantly increased incidence of LBW newborn of 33.455 and 29.1%, respectively. Conclusion: Pregnancy-related anemia and hypertension are an important risk factor for LBW. Young maternal age pregnancy and poor ante natal visits also contribute toward LBW.

Authors: VIRANI ANJALI , JAIN SHASHI , TIWARI ANAMIKA , SINGH PUJA
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Primary open-angle glaucoma is a silent predator of sight, killing retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and leads to characteristic optic nerve head (ONH) changes and visual field (VF) defects. The conventional methods of diagnosis include clinical examination and perimetry. However, by these at the time of diagnosis, a substantial loss of RGCs has already occurred. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows quantitative measurements of various parameters of the retina. This tool may be utilized for selective measurement of macular parameters to make an early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: In 6 months of study, a total of 81 eyes of 51 subjects underwent SD-OCT measurements, that is, 49 eyes of 35 POAG subjects and 32 eyes of 16 age-matched healthy subjects, to record all measurable macular parameters, namely, macular thickness (MT)-central, average, in all sectors of the inner and outer circle of early treatment of diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) macular map; macular volume, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness-in all sectors; succeeded by statistical calculations using the unpaired t-test to calculate two-tailed p-value which is significant when its value is <0.05.
Results: As an observation the average MT, MT in the inferior and temporal sector of the inner circle of the ETDRS macular map, that in the inferior sector of the outer circle, minimum GC-IPL thickness, and GC-IPL thickness in all sectors were all significantly reduced in POAG eyes than healthy eyes. Whereas central MT, average GC-IPL thickness, macular volume, and MT in few sectors of the inner and outer circle of the ETDRS macular map proved to bear an insignificant change of POAG.
Conclusion: In this study, the greatest impact of POAG on macula was discovered in the GC-IPL layer and MT in the inferior sector of inner and outer ring which might serve the purpose of diagnosis of POAG apart from the established parameters of RNFL and ONH.

Authors: Mishra Arunendra Kumar , Singh Dr. Raghvendra
Published: December 2022

Abstract: The ground movement which occurred naturally and creates disaster to cause damage of the structures is called Earthquake. In the earth’s crust seismic activities occur that creates waves. These waves transmit to structures through foundation. Thus, due to this earthquake movements, inertia force is invoked in structure resulting in damaging the whole or part of structure. Base isolation is the recent development for seismic resistant designs, this may not be totally controlling the ground movement but helps in minimising the impact of ground movement. Base isolation enables in reduction of earthquake forces by lengthening the period of vibration of structure. Also, the structural response accelerations are less than the ground acceleration because of Base isolation.

Published: December 2022

Objectives In OECD 2030, learner identity is emphasized in the direction of future education, and as remote classes have recently spread, flipped learning-type pre-teacher modules that can be appropriately used in remote classes are required. In addition, a flip-learning type of pre-service teacher module that can be appropriately used for remote classes was required, and accordingly, this study aims to develop a learner-led-based flip-learning module for pre-service teachers. Methods Considering the blended learning-oriented school environment where both online and offline can be combined, the flip learning model is very useful, especially for pre-service teachers, it is necessary to experience it in the pre-teacher curriculum. Therefore, this study developed a learner-led flip learning module that can be used in school education, focusing on online publishing activities. In particular, it was first applied to classes for pre-service teachers who will engage in the field of education in the future. This is because learner-led education has not yet been activated in the field, and it is meaningful to apply it first to pre-service teachers as adult education. The learner-led flip learning module for pre-service teachers developed in this study was composed of a full-scale non-face-to-face four-week flip learning method. Results The developed module was pilot tested by applying it to D University classes in the first semester of 2021, and the module was modified and supplemented through the satisfaction of students and the validity and suitability verification process of 21 academic and field experts. Conclusions The learner-led flip learning module of this study can be applied not only to higher education but also to secondary school classes in the future, and is expected to be useful in school education in the situation where blended learning is expanded.

Published: December 2022

Objectives This study attempted to clarify the substance of the media discourse surrounding small schools through media report analysis on small schools that occurred due to the decrease in the school-age population and have become a continuous issue. Methods 48 media outlets were selected through BigKines, and 7,489 media articles were analyzed based on relevance, etc., and duplicates and meaningless words were deleted from the basic research data. The data are classified based on the overall period and small school policy period through data preprocessing, and then keyword analysis and topic modeling are performed. Results First, looking at the trend of media reports, it became generally frequent until 2012, and the amount of media reports has since decreased. In addition, it was confirmed that the amount of media coverage increased due to the influence of the education policy of the Ministry of Education. Second, as a result of keyword analysis, there was a difference between the simple frequency and the distribution of keywords considering TF-IDF. Specifically, considering the distribution considering TF-DIF, ‘consolidation’ appeared as the word with the highest frequency, and a difference between keywords was found between the government-led small school integration period and the city-province-centered period. Third, as a result of topic modeling analysis, a total of 7 topics appeared in the entire period. In addition, the topic of ‘small school integration’ continued to appear regardless of the timing of the small school policy. Finally, as a result of analyzing recent trends, it was compressed into five topics. Conclusions The discourse that continues to appear in the media discourse of small schools is the consolidation of small schools. This can be said to have partially limited the education ministry's view of small schools to ‘consolidation’ when media companies cited press releases from the Ministry of Education and reduced them.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore both the intermediate-level group counselors’ helpful experiences in the group counseling supervision session and the essential meaning of what changes. Methods 11 group counselors were interviewed individually from September 2019 to March 2021. Some of them with a second-degree counseling license participated in the group counseling supervision at least five times. Others were in the process of obtaining a first-degree counseling certification. Data were analyzed through Giorgi’s phenomenological method and the analysis led to a total of 66 semantic units, 16 sub-categories, and 6 categories and 3 themes. The results are as follows. Results First, the participants joined the group counseling supervision session with expectations that they would be able to gain a deeper understanding of group work and receive the confirmation of the supervisor when functioning as a group counselor. Because training for certification for counselor does not comprehensively cover how group counseling is operated in actual, the participants reported they faced difficultes in carrying them out. Secondly, what the participants experienced were helpful of this supervision is that by adjusting to the previously-burdedsome supervision work and applying the supervisor’s feedback to real intervention, they could experience professional development. Finally, changes as a group counselor in this process were that the participants deeply trusted the group members and understood themselves, as well as they got to form the sense of identity as the supervisor. Conclusions These results are meaningful in that they provide specific implications on the professional learning process and development of intermediate-level group counselors by means of analyzing the helpful experiences gathered from counselors who participated in group counseling supervision session.

Hybridization in late stages of speciation: strong but incomplete genome-wide reproductive isolation and “large Z-effect” in a moving hybrid zone
Authors: Dias Guilherme Caeiro , Brelsford Alan , Meneses-Ribeiro Mariana , Crochet Pierre-Andre , Pinho Catarina
Published: December 2022

In organisms reproducing sexually, speciation occurs when increasing
divergence results in pre- or post-zygotic reproductive isolation
between lineages. Studies focusing on reproductive isolation origin in
early stages of speciation are common. Many rely on indirect measures of
introgression providing limited information on the genomic architecture
of reproductive isolation maintenance in the long term. This study
focuses on direct measures of introgression between two species in a
late stage of speciation. We used ddRADseq genotyping in a natural
hybrid zone between Podarcis bocagei and P. carbonelli to
examine admixture extent, estimate effective selection, analyse hybrid
zone stability, and assess variation in selection against introgression
across the genome. Hybridization was confirmed the narrow and bimodal
hybrid zone demonstrating the existence of strong mechanisms of
reproductive isolation. Simulations suggested that simple premating
barriers were not enough to explain the observed distribution of
admixture classes, pointing out the role of post-mating isolation. A
geographic cline approach confirmed strong reproductive isolation and
high effective selection preventing extensive introgression outside of
the contact zone; and detected a signal of hybrid zone movement towards
P. bocagei distribution. Genomic cline analysis revealed
heterogeneous patterns of introgression among loci within the syntopy
zone, but most of the loci do not introgress more or less than the
genomic average maintaining a strong association with the genomic
background of origin. However, genomic clines can be driven by
confounding effects resulting in incongruences between both cline
approaches. Importantly, overall patterns of introgression seem to
result from strong intrinsic barriers across the genome, without clear
“islands of differentiation”. Last, an important role of the Z
chromosome in reproductive isolation is suggested.

Authors: ZHANG Erkun , DENG Derong
Published: December 2022

This paper studies the current application and monitoring situation of
VR technology. Based on the Unity 3D game engine and VR device HTC Vive,
the paper establishes a typical VR interaction scene and propose a VR
application runtime monitoring scheme. The main work of this paper
includes: (1) VR interactive scene where full-angle observation,
movement of the person’s perspective, object touch, object picking,
object use and menu interaction are achieved; (2) VR monitoring SDK. The
monitoring SDK collects the user device information, runtime performance
information, exception information, and user behavior information for
the VR application under the user environment, by mounting a monitoring
script in the VR application scene; (3) Data analysis center, which is
responsible for receiving and storing the data reported by the VR
monitoring SDK and helps helps the developer to better understand the
situation on operation of the VR application and analyze user behavior
through statistics aggregation and algorithm analysis of the data.
AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN THE HOFFMANN-REFLEX PATHWAY OF THE FLEXOR CARPI RADIALIS

Published: December 2022

Ageing is accompanied by numerous changes within the sensory and motor
component of the muscle spindle pathway. To further document these
age-related changes, this study compared the characteristics of the
Hoffmann (H) reflex and M wave, evoked with several pulse durations,
between young and old adults. The H-reflex and M-wave recruitment curves
were analysed from recordings performed at rest in the flexor carpi
radialis of 12 young (21-36 yrs) and 12 old adults (62-80 yrs). For each
pulse duration (0.05-ms, 0.2-ms, and 1-ms), the maximal H-reflex
amplitude (H), the associated M wave
(M), and the H-reflex amplitude for a stimulus
intensity evoking an M-wave of 5% M
(H) were measured. The strength-duration time
constant and response threshold were estimated from the
charge/stimulus-duration relation for H reflex and M wave. The main
results indicate that varying pulse duration mainly induces similar
effect on H-reflex and M-wave recruitment curves between young and old
adults. However, regardless of pulse duration, old adults had lesser
H (p = 0.029) but greater H
(p<0.001) and M (p<0.001). The
strength-duration time constant was lesser in old than young adults for
the H reflex (p=0.048) but not the M wave (p=0.21). The H-reflex and
M-wave response thresholds were greater in old than young adults
(p=0.003). These results suggest greater age-related changes in the
sensory than motor component of the H-reflex pathway, which may be
indicative of a greater loss of sensory than motor axons or alterations
of synapses between Ia afferents and motor neurones.

The functional networks of the brain play a crucial role in cognitive
impairment in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, it is unclear how
abnormal functional homotopy alters effective connectivity. Therefore,
we investigated the neuroimaging features of the right TLE (rTLE) and
their correlation with cognitive impairment using voxel-mirrored
homotopic connectivity (VMHC), Granger causality analysis (GCA), and
neuropsychological tests. The data from twenty-seven rTLE patients and
twenty-seven healthy controls were used to construct a functional
network and analyze the relationship between connectivity and cognition.
VMHC analysis revealed that the homotopy was disrupted in the middle
frontal gyrus (MFG), middle temporal gyrus, dorsolateral superior
frontal gyrus, and supramarginal gyrus (SMG) in rTLE group. In GCA, the
abnormal connectivity with brain areas was observed in several
functional subnetworks, such as the default mode network, sensorimotor
network, and visual network. Besides, both phasic and tonic alertness
reaction times were positively correlated with the connectivity from the
left MFG to the left precentral gyrus (PreCG), from the left SMG to the
right PreCG, and from the left SMG to the right supplementary motor area
(SMA). Executive control effect reaction time was positively correlated
with the connectivity from the left MFG to the left calcarine fissure
surrounding cortex. Our findings indicated that the disordered effective
connectivity can exacerbate the cognitive impairment and the
compensatory effect of functional network can improve cognitive
performance in rTLE.

Chlorophylls, tocopherols, and phenolic compounds are fluorescent substances found in vegetable oils. As a result, fluorescence analysis can be used to authenticate vegetable oils in a simple, effective, and non-destructive manner. The goal of the study was to determine the authenticity of vegetable oil using smartphone-based image analysis in fluorescence light. The image was taken with a Huawei P30 Lite and saved as an 8-bit JPG file. Mactronic PHH0062 390 nm-LED flashlight was employed as a light source. Due to the Hue spectral histograms, the image was analyzed in the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color model. Eleven vegetable oils were chosen for testing: sea buckthorn, sunflower, rice, macadamia nut, hemp, corn, grape, linseed, rapeseed, olive, and milk thistle. Because vegetable oils have a diverse Hue spectrum, fluorescence examination can be used to verify their authenticity.

The issue of antibiotic resistance has become more pressing in the last decades. Therefore, substitutes for antibiotics are being sought. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of the mixture x of lactic acid bacteria on development of the broiler chicken digestive tract and the growth. The study was organised in three trials. In each trial, 260 one day old Ross 308 broiler chicks (males and females) were obtained from a commercial hatchery. They were randomly divided in two groups – the control group and the probiotic group. The dietary treatment was basal diet for the control group and basal diet + the mixture X of lactic acid bacteria 4 g 10 kg-1 for the probiotic group. Broilers were raised till day 35. All broilers were weighted on the day 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 10 birds per treatment were randomly selected and killed by cervical dislocation. The gastrointestinal tract was excised (proventriculus, gizzard, intestines) and weighed with content. Overall, this study achieved significant results of the body weight results in the probiotic and the control groups, 2,835.7g ±161.74 and 2,828.02±115.64, respectively. The body weight of chickens and their gastrointestinal tract parts (proventriculus, gizzard, intestines) did not differ between the probiotic and control groups (p > 0.05).
