Estudio de actividades farmacológicas, aspectos botánicos y caracterización fitoquímica de Humulus lupulus L. (Cannabaceae)
Authors:   , Lojano Gutiérrez Carmita Lucía
Published: October 2024

En esta tesis se estudiaron las propiedades del lúpulo a nivel del músculo liso, y se demostró un efecto antiespasmódico en el intestino, el útero y la vejiga aislados de rata, asociado al antagonismo no competitivo de la contracción muscarínica y a la inhibición no competitiva del influjo de Ca+2. Por HPLC se demostró que la tintura de lúpulo contenía flavonoides prenilados, como xantohumol y β-ácidos, flavonoides e isoflavonas que podrían explicar al menos en parte, los efectos antiespasmódicos, además en las micrografías botánicas se pudo determinar, tricomas unicelulares y tricomas glandulares que utiliza como sujeción o soporte, caracteristicos de la especie Humulus lupulus. En resumen, esta Tesis ha logrado caracterizar la morfología y micrografía del Humulus lupulus, su fitoquímica mayoritaria en flavonoides prenilados, como xantohumol y β-ácidos, además de flavonoides e isoflavonas, y la acción antiespasmódica visceral (asociada a interferencia con el influjo de calcio al músculo liso) y ansiolítica y sedante suave, explicables por sinergismo entre varios de sus componentes.

Published: October 2024

Esta tesis aborda la incorporación de las mujeres a las profesiones jurídicas, entre las décadas de 1950 y 1970, en la ciudad de La Plata. El incremento del número de mujeres profesionales del derecho en el período se observa no solo en la universidad, requisito de ingreso a dichas profesiones, sino también en los espacios de ejercicio de la abogacía y la escribanía. Reconstruimos las particularidades de este proceso, atendiendo a su dimensión cuantitativa, como también a cuestiones vinculadas a las características propias de cada profesión y las vivencias singulares de las mujeres que accedieron a ellas en el período bajo estudio. Partimos de la idea de que el estudio de las profesiones, en general, y de las carreras profesionales de las personas, en particular, no debe dar por sentada las dinámicas domésticas de las y los profesionales. Esta perspectiva se apoya en los estudios de género y su herramental teórico en relación con la división sexual del trabajo. Asimismo, la investigación se inscribe en la propuesta de la historia de las mujeres que, al tiempo que registra la contribución femenina a los procesos históricos, busca comprender el modo en que dicho registro cambia la interpretación historiográfica previa. Reconstruimos la dimensión cuantitativa del proceso, a partir de la elaboración de bases de datos relacionados con la titulación universitaria, los registros de escrituras públicas de la profesión notarial, la matriculación de la abogacía y la participación femenina en los cargos letrados del Poder Judicial de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. A su vez, exploramos las historias singulares de mujeres profesionales del derecho, indagando en las vivencias relatadas por ellas mismas y en sus interpretaciones al respecto. También, analizamos documentos elaborados por las asociaciones profesionales para evidenciar su lugar en la sociedad, en general, y en el medio jurídico, en particular. Así, la investigación busca contribuir a la discusión sobre la profesionalización femenina a través del abordaje de las profesiones jurídicas e historizar las experiencias de “doble presencia/ausencia” que vivieron las profesionales del derecho, friccionadas por las contradictorias demandas de la profesión y de la domesticidad.

Published: October 2024

Quick and effective access to professional medical assistance in emergencies has become a key element of the modern healthcare system. Emergency medical services play a vital role in immediate response to medical emergencies, in particular traumatic injury. According to estimates, emergency medical services delivered to trauma patients account for 10-20% of all services provided by paramedic units in Poland. An analysis of paramedic services delivered to trauma patients will make a significant contribution to the effectiveness and optimization of emergency medical services. The aim of this study was to analyze the emergency medical services delivered by paramedic units to trauma patients in the voivodeship of Warmia and Mazury over a period of three years. The study involved a retrospective analysis of statistical data for the above voivodeship. The patients were classified according to the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) [1]. Most trauma patients were assigned ICD-10 codes S (injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes) and T (injuries involving multiple body regions) categories. Results: The diagnoses made by physicians, paramedics, and emergency nurses in patient care reports were the source of data for the retrospective analysis. A total of 400,251 cases (n= 400,251) were analyzed and 11,329 cases were selected (n=11,329), including 1130 patients (n=1130) who were assigned code S and 10,199 patients (n=10,199) who were assigned to code T. The examined database is administered by the Governor of the Voivodeship of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn [2]. The following types of information were analyzed: area of intervention, the patients’ age and sex, type of medical emergency, location, date, and alcohol breath odor. The collected data were analyzed to determine the presence of relationships between: a life-threatening medical emergency and the patient’s age, a life-threatening medical emergency and the patient’s sex, the patient’s age and the diagnosis made by paramedics, alcohol breath odor and the patient’s sex, and the patient’s sex and the diagnosis made by paramedics. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest that the risk of a life-threatening medical emergency is higher in younger patients and decreases gradually in older patients. The above risk is somewhat higher in men than in women. The percentage of patients assigned code S (injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes) increases with age. Alcohol breath odor is more frequently detected in patients residing in areas with a population above 10,000 than in patients residing in small towns and rural areas. The patient’s sex is not significantly correlated with the type of medical emergency, and the prevalence of the diagnosed medical emergencies tends to be similar in both sexes.

The purpose of the study was to determine pathomorphological and pathohistological characteristics of primary vulvar carcinoma. Materials, methods, and study design: A retro- and prospective comprehensive morphological study of 117 patients was conducted at Bondar Regional Cancer Research Center (Donetsk) over the period from 2002 to 2019. Out of 117 we identified 44 patients with primary vulvar cancer without previous inflammatory diseases (cancer de novo). The materials were fixed in formalin and examined using standard methods of histological staining and morphometry. Statistical analysis methods were used to process the data. Results and Discussion: The differentiated VIN type occurred in 61.2% of cases, the undifferentiated type – in 37.8%. VIN1 was characterized by basal cell hyperplasia, VIN2 – by abnormal vertical anisomorphy, VIN3 – by significant abnormal cell stratification and differentiation. Cell proliferative activity increased with VIN severity, with the highest mitotic index and nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio in VIN3. In VIN1, a positive reaction to nuclear proliferation antigen was observed in the lower third of the epithelial layer. In VIN2 and VIN3, the positive reaction covered most of the epithelium. Well-differentiated SCC (G1) was characterized by polymorphic cell complexes with a small number of pathological mitoses and apoptosis. Moderately differentiated SCC (G2) had a pronounced inflammatory reaction and necrosis, with disruption of the basement membrane. Poorly differentiated SCC (G3) demonstrated loss of vertical anisomorphy, high mitotic index and presence of tumor emboli in vessels. Conclusions: The study showed significant differences in the morphological and morphometric characteristics of different types of VIN and invasive vulvar carcinoma. The results will help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of primary vulvar cancer, especially in understanding its pathogenesis and prognostic factors.

Authors: Gasimova Ziba , Shadlinskaya Ramida
Published: October 2024

The aim: To improve the effectiveness of diagnosing and developing treatment strategies for patients with the vestibular position of permanent canines Material and Methods: Material for the conducted research were the database obtained during clinical examination of 7172 patients that have been referring to our clinic for the orthodontic treatment. Of these, 2,669 were male (37.21%) and 4,503 were female (62.79%). Among the total number of examined patients, 461 were found to have a vestibular position of tooth 13 (6.43±0.29%), and 357 patients had a vestibular position of tooth 23 (4.98±0.26%). A combination of vestibular positions of teeth 12 and 13 was found in 553 patients (7.71±0.31%). Simulation of various orthodontic treatment options to achieve the optimal aesthetic result using the "Dolphin Imaging 11.9" program was conducted in two scenarios: one with the removal of the first permanent premolars and the other without tooth extractions, using maxillary expansion and distalization of the posterior teeth. Two clinical cases are illustrated to demonstrate the stages of treatment in patients with vestibular positioning of maxillary canines, both with and without tooth extraction. Results: The author concludes that the use of the "Dolphin Imaging 11.9" program significantly enhances the effectiveness of diagnosing and orthodontically treating patients with vestibular positioning of permanent maxillary canines, helping to achieve harmony between skeletal and soft tissue facial relationships.

The pulp bleaching process is mainly responsible for the generation of toxic substances in the whole paper making process. The modification of conventional ECF (elemental chlorine free) bleaching was studied using an oxygen stage, a peracetic acid stage and an oxygen followed by peracetic acid stage in the following bleaching sequences: OD0EOPD, PaaD0EOPD, OPaaD0EOPD and QOPaaD0EOPD. The PaaD0EOPD sequence reduced the COD, BOD, color, TDS and AOX by 36.8, 37.0, 52.4, 39.8 and 53.9%, respectively, in comparison with D0EOPD. Moreover, PaaD0EOPD has better optical effluent properties, compared to the OD0EOPD sequence. OPaaD0EOPD reduced the chlorophenols, chloroguaiacols by 73.3 and 89.3%, and improved the brightness and whiteness by 1.7 and 3.1 units, respectively, in comparison with the D0EOPD bleaching sequence. The QOPaaD0EOPD sequence improved the pulp viscosity by 0.8 units in comparison with OPaaD0EOPD. The amendment of the conventional bleaching sequence was found to be effective for achieving an improvement in optical properties and effluent quality at reduced dose of chlorine dioxide.

Ni-doped Copper oxide (Ni-CuO) nanoparticles have been synthesized from Arabic Gum. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) polyester was biosynthesized by the microorganism Haloferax mediterranei utilizing date waste as carbon source. The produced Ni-doped copper oxide (Ni-CuO) nanoparticles have been incorporated with different percentages into the PHBV matrix. The produced bionanocomposites were achieved with different percentages of the nanoparticles: 1%, 3%, 5% and 10%, and were referred to as PHBV/Ni-CuO(1,3,5,10%). FTIR, TGA, XRD, SEM and EDX techniques have been used to study and characterize the synthesized bionanocoposites. In addition, the prepared nanocomposites were studied for their efficiency as solid phase adsorbents for Brilliant Green (B.G.) dye from water resources under different conditions. The prepared nanocomposites were found to be very efficient and promising solid phase adsorbent materials to treat water samples for the purpose of dye removal. The percentage of the removed dye increased from 45.6% to 97.7% as the PHBV/Ni-CuO(10%) nanocomposite amount increased from 10 mg to 70 mg per 25 mL of water sample. The dye removal percentage reached an equilibrium in 90 min. Natural water samples from three different sources have been tested against the Ni-CuO/PHBV(3%) nanocomposite as solid adsorbent for the B.G. removal, and the results showed >90% dye removal in all cases under the optimum experimental conditions.

Beyond the interruption: tools for the evaluation and re-signification of unfinished public works
Authors: Anania Francesca
Published: October 2024

The paper focuses on unfinished public constructions that represent an anomaly and an urgency with environmental, economic and even social consequences. The prerequisite of the research is the possibility that unfinished buildings can be considered opportunities to start new building processes consistently with the renewed needs of the contemporary situation, and not as a shared set of disvalues. The use of a specific methodological framework and programmatic strategies can direct the interventions, evaluating the suggested potential performance, and trigger virtuous and accessible cycles of signification and actualisation. The paper derives from a doctoral research and has been developed within the activities of the cross-border cooperation project CUBÂTI.

A quimioterapia é considerada a principal abordagem terapêutica para o câncer em crianças e adolescentes, e seus efeitos negativos mais comuns incluem dor, cansaço, desinteresse, redução do apetite, perda de peso, queda de cabelo, hematomas, hemorragias, mucosite, náuseas, entre outros. Este estudo teve como propósito investigar na literatura a função do enfermeiro em relação aos efeitos adversos mais frequentes do tratamento quimioterápico em pacientes pediátricos. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura entre janeiro de 2010 e fevereiro de 2022, incluindo 21 publicações completas. A quimioterapia causa diversas mudanças na vida das crianças e adolescentes, tanto físicas quanto emocionais, além de impactar suas rotinas. As pesquisas indicam que cerca de 80% desses jovens pacientes apresentaram sintomas classificados como graves ou muito graves. A dor se revela na cirurgia e no pós como um sintoma recorrente e significativo, sendo a mais discutida nos estudos, seguida pela fadiga. A longa duração do tratamento torna essencial o papel do enfermeiro em motivar e apoiar os pacientes e suas famílias na superação das dificuldades, além de garantir a adesão ao tratamento e orientar sobre práticas eficazes para enfrentar os efeitos adversos, promovendo uma sensação de conforto e segurança. Todos os efeitos colaterais da quimioterapia podem ser gerenciados de forma adequada pelos profissionais de enfermagem e médicos, com o objetivo de oferecer um tratamento menos doloroso, além de controlar e aliviar os sintomas, seja através de intervenções medicamentosas ou terapias alternativas, também oferecendo suporte emocional às famílias

Authors: Coelho Paulo Pereira , Da Silva Sales Gabriel Henrique , Cruz Soares Lais Lavinia
Published: October 2024

A doença periodontal é causada pela presença de biofilme bacteriano, composto por bactérias patogênicas, localizado nas regiões supra ou subgengival. Essas bactérias podem entrar no tecido gengival e induzir processo inflamatório causando gengivite e/ou periodontite, podendo entrar na corrente sanguínea, migrar pelo organismo e atingir regiões distantes da cavidade oral. As doenças periodontais têm sido amplamente estudadas e reconhecidas como um problema de saúde bucal significativo em todo o mundo. Embora tradicionalmente associadas à população adulta, a prevalência das doenças periodontais em crianças e adolescentes tem despertado crescente atenção devido ao seu impacto na saúde bucal e sistêmica a longo prazo. Metodologia: Refere-se a uma revisão integrativa da literatura, utilizando bases encontradas em dados eletrônicos lilacs, pubmed e scielo. Tendo sido selecionado artigos relacionados ao tema abordado Objetivo: Investigar a relação das doenças periodontais em crianças e adolescentes e doenças sistêmicas, visando ampliar o entendimento das interações entre saúde bucal e sistêmica nessa faixa etária. Resultados: Foram selecionados 50 artigos, que apresentam que a doença periodontal surge a partir de um desequilíbrio entre a quantidade de biofilme bacteriano nos elementos dentários e a resposta do hospedeiro frente à presença dessa agressão. E, tais desequilíbrios estão ligados a fatores locais, como o uso de aparelhos ortodônticos, e, também, dentes muito apinhados; e situações sistêmicas, tais como, diabetes e obesidade.Discussão: Através dos estudos realizados, observa-se que ocorre uma relação entre as doenças periodontais e as doenças sistêmicas em crianças e adolescentes. O que se obtem que inclui desde a presença da gengivite até situações avançadas que chegam a uma periodontite agressiva
Conclusão: Portanto, percebe-se que há necessidade urgente de estudos de intervenção e controle de causas de risco comuns para atestar a relação entre doença periondontal e alterações sistêmicas.

Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health: The South African Story
Authors: Nwosu Chijioke O
Published: October 2024

South Africa is characterised by income and wealth inequalities, as well as a high disease burden typical of a developing country. Given that income is an essential determinant of health and healthcare, one can imagine that access to critical healthcare and health outcomes will depend on socioeconomic position. This chapter, therefore, presents an overview of health inequalities in South Africa as related to socioeconomic position. The focus is on the magnitude of health disparities and, where data availability permits, ascertaining whether and in what direction such disparities have changed over time. By the end of this chapter, the reader would have been sufficiently informed about the stark socioeconomic inequalities that diminish health and healthcare access in South Africa. This knowledge will hopefully encourage debate about the need and ways to tackle health inequalities in the country aggressively.
Economic Inclusion and Inequality
Authors: van Niekerk Arno
Published: October 2024

The question economic inequality poses to society is essentially more a question of inclusion, or ‘how to include?’ rather than simply closing the income gap between the rich and the poor. While there are different types of economic inequality, this chapter suggests that the real issue is ensuring that the poor and marginalised are productively included in a country’s economic activities – especially in the mainstream. Hence, the focus here is on ‘economic inclusion’ and what that means by reducing economic inequality. The fact that inequality ‘excludes’ puts it in direct opposition to economic inclusion. It would provide valuable perspectives on addressing inequality if we could better understand the different facets and dynamics related to economic inclusion. This is what this chapter will examine. To sustainably and consistently reduce economic inequality, the capacity of an economy to ‘include’ those in lower income levels becomes critical.

Penelitian ini mengkaji dampak penggunaan media sosial TikTok terhadap perubahan karakter sopan santun siswa sekolah dasar di era teknologi 4.0. TikTok, sebagai media sosial yang sangat dikenal pada golongan anak-anak, membawa pengaruh positif dan negatif dalam perkembangan etika dan sopan santun siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu dalam memahami bagaimana penggunaan TikTok mempengaruhi perilaku sopan santun siswa serta peran orang tua dan guru dalam pengawasan. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka dengan meninjau literatur sebelumnya terkait topik penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun TikTok dapat meningkatkan kreativitas dan keterampilan digital siswa, platform ini juga berdampak negatif terhadap sopan santun mereka. Banyak siswa cenderung meniru perilaku yang kurang sejalan terhadap norma sosial maupun etika yang mereka lihat di TikTok, seperti bahasa yang kasar dan tindakan tidak sopan. Kesimpulannya, dampak negatif penggunaan TikTok pada karakter siswa lebih dominan daripada dampak positifnya, terutama apabila tidak terdapat pengawasan khusus oleh orang tua dan guru.

Published: October 2024

Child development is an important aspect of human life, especially in the early period of life, which is often referred to as the critical or golden period as the child's brain undergoes rapid growth. Developmental disorders in children under five, especially in terms of motor skills, have a long-term impact on their development, and a child's nutritional status has been shown to play a role in the process. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and development of children aged 4-60 months in Jember Regency. The research method used was a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional approach, involving a total of 57 children who had a Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS) as the population. From the results of the formula calculation, the sample size was determined as 50 respondents using a non-randomized (non-probability) method, namely purposive sampling based on certain criteria. The research instruments involved the Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS) to assess children's nutritional status and the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) to identify children's development. The results of the chi-square statistical test revealed a significant relationship between nutritional status and development of children aged 4-60 months in Jember District. [ Children with good nutritional status show more optimal developmental progress, while children with poor nutritional status tend to experience slower or inappropriate development for their age. This finding supports theories that emphasize the importance of adequate nutrition for children's growth and development. Therefore, efforts to improve children's nutritional status should be a top priority in various child health and education programs. With the right understanding and action, we can help create a healthier and more potential future generation.

Published: October 2024

Breast milk is the first nutrient for infants because it contains essential nutrients for growth and development, so exclusive breastfeeding can prevent the risk of stunting and wasting in children. The lack of breastfeeding in infants is a threat to the long-term growth and development of children. Effective coparenting strongly impacts breastfeeding success rates because of its positive energy. Developing effective coparenting during the transition to becoming a parent is very helpful in the process of carrying out the role of parent, resolving conflict and supporting one's partner in raising children. The study aimed to analyze the success of Coparenting Approach to Being Successful Exclusively Breastfeeding. This research method is an observational study with an analytic cross-sectional design using a quantitative approach; the population in this study was 393 people in the Glagahagung Community Health Center Working Area sampling with a purposive sampling technique, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria where a number of respondents were exclusively breastfeeding with a total of 78 respondents. The results showed family support p value = 0.000, technological advances p value = 0.000, and lifestyle p value = 0.000. Based on the results show that the regression coefficient for family support is .716, this shows that increasing the family support variable will increase the coparenting approach variable in the success of providing EBF by .716, the trends and lifestyle regression coefficient is -.452, so this shows that trend and lifestyle variables reduce the influence on the coparenting approach in the success of providing EBF.
Long-term neurocognitive follow-up in children with traumatic brain injury: A literature review and monocentric cohort study

Published: October 2024

Children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may experience long-term cognitive sequelae. However, previous study results have been controversial. It remains unclear whether clinical follow-up is useful, how long patients should be followed-up, and which psychological dimensions should be investigated. Herein, we described neurocognitive evolution in a small sample of Italian children who were hospitalized for mTBI and systematically reviewed the existing evidence in this setting. In total, 15 children aged 4 – 16 (median, 9) years who were evaluated for mTBI at our institution between March 2017 and September 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. All patients underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging for clinical reasons; moreover, they underwent neurocognitive evaluation within few days from the event (T0), after 3 – 6 months (T1), and after 18 – 24 months (T2). Neuropsychological assessment included the Child Behavior Checklist, Developmental Neuropsychology Assessment II Edition, and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. An electronic search was conducted to identify studies published in the past 12 years. Neurocognitive assessments revealed low scores in memory, sensorimotor, and social perception tasks at T1 and T2. Univariate analysis of neuroradiological and clinical findings revealed no risk factors for cognitive deficits. Overall, 17 studies involving 1336 children were reviewed and analyzed. Following mTBI, psychiatric disorders were frequently newly diagnosed and were associated with significant deficits in adaptive functioning and other pre-injury psychosocial risk factors. Our study findings demonstrate that children with mTBI exhibit subtle persistent cognitive difficulties that may affect academic and social functioning. Thus, follow-up using extensive neuropsychological evaluation is essential.

Background: Approximately all systemic therapies for childhood affect the immune system. The
behavior of the immune system in leukemia patients following chemotherapy is not yet clearly
defined. The probability of vaccination failure and the need for revaccination remain challenging
for these patients.
Aim: To evaluate the humoral immunity against diphtheria, tetanus, and hepatitis B in children
with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) immediately and 6 months after chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods: In the present prospective cohort study, 21 patients with ALL referred
to Mofid Children’s Hospital were studied immediately and 6 months after chemotherapy. Serum
samples were collected from patients, and the levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgE, and IgA)
antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus, and hepatitis B were determined using specific enzymelinked immunosorbent assay kits. The obtained data were analyzed using Statistical Package for
Social Sciences 21 software.
Results: A total of 13 males and 8 females with an average age of 8.6 ± 2.5 years were included
in the present study. Six months after chemotherapy, the mean level of IgG, IgM, IgE, and IgA
displayed an increase of 563.1 units in IgG, 11 units in IgM, 11.3 units in IgE, and 5 units in IgA
levels. Moreover, data revealed that 6 months after chemotherapy, the mean level of IgG antibodies
displayed an increase of 7.09, 3.43, and 1.03 units against hepatitis B, diphtheria, and tetanus,
respectively. A significant relationship was found between the antibody level against diphtheria and
the age group of the patients (p = 0.003).
Conclusion: Humoral immune status was boosted after 6 months of chemotherapy, though all
patients had some extent of lasting immune dysfunction. We indicate that survivors of childhood
cancer have ongoing humoral immunological defects and may remain at risk for infectious
complications after completion of therapy.
Relevance for Patients: The present study indicated that systemic therapies for pediatrics with
leukemia affect the immune system. Pediatrics with leukemia may remain at risk for infectious
complications after completion of therapy.
Robotics in Construction: A Critical Review of Reinforcement Learning, Imitation Learning, and Industry-specific Challenges for Adoption
Authors: - Ruchik Kashyapkumar Thaker
Published: October 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the role of robotics in addressing critical construction industry challenges, including labor shortages, productivity inefficiencies, and safety concerns. The review focuses particularly on reinforcement and imitation learning as promising yet underexplored paradigms within construction robotics. While these approaches have shown transformative potential in other fields, their application in construction is constrained by the sector’s unstructured, dynamic environments, which demand specialized and adaptable robotic systems. The review further examines the role of deep learning in advancing construction machinery, emphasizing applications in perception, navigation, control, and human-robot interaction. However, challenges persist in the form of limited datasets, interpretability issues, and the need for higher levels of autonomous intelligence. Additionally, the paper identifies industry-specific adoption barriers, such as economic, technical, and cultural factors, which continue to hinder robotics integration in construction. By presenting these insights, this review establishes a foundation for understanding the current state of construction robotics and the opportunities for advancing its application across the industry.
Word Formation Processes in the Context of Social Media Discourse: A Case of Chuka University Students
Authors: - Miriti Gervasio
Published: October 2024

The social media discourse is a hybrid of both written text and spoken discourse and therefore exhibits unique linguistic features that researchers can explore. This paper reveals the new dynamics of word formation processes in the social media discourse context, which is apparently a new genre. Morphological processes have in the past been analyzed in the context of spoken and written discourse. However, due to the evolution of the social media discourses that emanate from the communications that is mediated by divergent media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagrams and twitter, there is a need to shed light on how language is used in social media. This paper focuses on one aspect of such usage; how words are formed in the social media milieu. This paper therefore analyses the morphological processes drawing from Chuka University students’ social media discourse on WhatsApp platform. Students exhibits similar language usage due to the fact that they share a lot in common as a speech community. The paper therefore utilizes the social network theory to show how the interactants exploits the linguistic artifacts available at their social media network to interact meaningfully. Particularly, the focus is on the morphological processes that are evident in their interactions. The research design used is descriptive and the approach to data analysis is qualitative. The data used to inform this paper is drawn from the researcher’s thesis (2019). The findings revealed that students’ social media discourse results in the formation of new lexical items, use of symbols, Arabic numerals and letters to represent morphemes or words that are used in their day-to-day interactions. Similarly, morphological processes such as compounding, blending, clipping, borrowing, abbreviations and acronyms are common in the students’ social media discourse.

Medicinal herbs have been extensively studied and utilized for centuries in many developing countries as an effective approach to treat various diseases and health conditions. Wedelolactone (WDL), a key bioactive compound found in Eclipta prostrata (also known as Eclipta alba), has shown promising potential for promoting human health, particularly in combating chronic illnesses. However, a thorough investigation into the full range of WDL's pharmacological properties across different conditions has not yet been conducted. This review aims to highlight recent therapeutic research regarding the biological and functional activities of WDL in relation to major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes, liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and androgenetic alopecia. We compiled relevant experimental data on WDL from trusted scientific databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. In conclusion, WDL stands out as a potent antioxidant and a selective modulator of key proteins associated with chronic diseases. Given its therapeutic potential, further exploration of WDL’s pharmacological effects is strongly recommended.

The caste system is the stratification of social structure based on Hinduism that has placed the Dalits in the lower strata and made to face various forms of inhuman atrocities and discrimination. The post-independent era of India is influenced by the different types of aid from international non-governmental organizations (INGO). The study looked at the effectiveness of international NGOs intervention in the Dalit community especially in promoting human rights and enhancing socio-economic development, especially in Villupuram District of Tamil Nadu. The struggle of resistance against discrimination by the Dalit community has been a continuous process and it is found that the situation has improved a lot after a lot of activism, social action, and community work through the help of NGOs. Continued efforts by INGOs advocating Dalit-driven policies at various levels are required to liberate the Dalits with the support of the government and various stakeholders.
