Authors: Kalanidhi K. , Agrawal Deepika , Zaidi Syed Hasan Nawaz
Published: December 2024

Background:

Malnutrition refers to deficiencies or excesses in nutrient intake, imbalance of essential nutrients, or impaired nutrient utilization. Globally, in 2022, 149 million children under 5 were estimated to be stunted, 45 million were estimated to be wasted, and 37 million were overweight. Proportion of deaths under 5 years of age with PEM is 1.13% of total deaths in India.

Objective:

The objective of the study was to assess the status of nutrition among the school-going children in rural areas of the district Ghaziabad and to find its associated factors.

Materials and Methods:

It was a cross-sectional study, and using a simple random sampling method, four government schools in our rural field practice area were selected from the total list of schools in Ghaziabad district. Students of class 4th to 8th who were present on the day of the study were included, and the sample size obtained was 168. The data were collected through a predesigned semistructured questionnaire.

Results:

The number of malnourished was found to be 61, which accounted to 36.30%. The factors on which malnutrition was significantly associated were knowledge regarding food habits (P < 0.05), knowledge about physical activity (P = 0.010), and time spent on screen (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The problem of malnutrition was found to be 36.3% among schoolchildren, and it was significantly associated with knowledge regarding food habits, physical activity, and increased screen time. Schools should take steps to improve the physical activity of the students through mandatory daily yoga and sports in the school. Nutritional education and counseling should be given to parents.
To compare blood culture positivity with various sepsis scores in sepsis patients presenting to emergency department: An annotated bibliographic review
Authors: Sharma Deepika , Chouhan Yaseen , Yadav Sakshi , Shrimal Prawal
Published: December 2024

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by organ dysfunction due to an uncontrolled immune response to infection, posing significant challenges in emergency medicine because of its high morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes, and several sepsis scoring systems have been developed to aid in the identification and management of sepsis. This review examines the predictive value and practical application of blood culture positivity in relation to various sepsis scoring systems, including the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), Mortality in Emergency Department (ED) Sepsis score, and Sepsis Patient Evaluation in ED score. By comparing these tools, this review aims to provide insights into their effectiveness in guiding clinical decisions in the management of sepsis.
Utility of point-of-care ultrasound as a first-line diagnostic tool for dyspnea patients in the emergency department
Authors: Patel Parth , Yadav Sakshi , Shirmal Prawal
Published: December 2024

Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) has revolutionized bedside diagnostics in emergency medicine, offering a rapid and reliable tool for evaluating patients with acute dyspnea, a common and potentially life-threatening presentation in the emergency department (ED). This review synthesizes current evidence on the diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and clinical impact of PoCUS compared to conventional imaging modalities such as chest X-ray and computed tomography. Studies demonstrate that PoCUS significantly reduces diagnostic time, maintains high sensitivity and specificity for critical conditions like pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and pneumonia, and facilitates streamlined decision-making through standardized protocols such as the BLUE, RUSH, and FALLS. Despite its operator dependency and reduced sensitivity for conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations, PoCUS offers a noninvasive, radiation-free, and time-efficient alternative to traditional imaging. The review also highlights the need for robust multicenter trials to assess its effect on patient-centered outcomes, as well as efforts to standardize training and enhance operator proficiency. By addressing these challenges, PoCUS could become a cornerstone of modern emergency care, ensuring improved diagnostic precision, enhanced patient outcomes, and optimized resource utilization.
The Wasserstein space of stochastic processes
Authors: Bartl Daniel , Beiglböck Mathias , Pammer Gudmund
Published: December 2024

Wasserstein distance induces a natural Riemannian structure for the probabilities on the Euclidean space. This insight of classical transport theory is fundamental for tremendous applications in various fields of pure and applied mathematics. We believe that an appropriate probabilistic variant, the

adapted Wasserstein distance

\mathcal{AW}

, can play a similar role for the class

\mathrm{FP}

of
filtered processes
, i.e., stochastic processes together with a filtration. In contrast to other topologies for stochastic processes, probabilistic operations such as the Doob decomposition, optimal stopping and stochastic control are continuous with respect to

\mathcal{AW}

. We also show that

(\mathrm{FP}, \mathcal{AW})

is a geodesic space, isometric to a classical Wasserstein space, and that martingales form a closed geodesically convex subspace.
Pilot progress in DNA isolation and amplification from the material stored at the LWS herbarium
Authors: Novikov Andriy , Nachychko Viktor
Published: December 2024

The isolation of DNA from the herbarium specimens deposited at the LWS herbarium (State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine, Lviv, Ukraine) has been tested using the column-based protocol. The isolated DNA has been amplified using different nuclear and plastid primers. The yield of obtained total DNA showed no significant dependence from the year of collection and plant family of studied specimens. In general, the obtained DNA of LWS specimens had medium yield (mean – 56.47 ng/µL) but relatively low purity (mean 260/230 value – 0.85 units and mean 260/280 value – 1.66 units). The success of DNA amplification for old herbarium material varied from 12.5 % to 91.1 % depending on applied primers. The trnL P6 Loop primers demonstrated the best performance (91.1 % successful amplification), but due to short resulted DNA fragments, it was not possible to purify the product for further processing. UniPlant primers performed the worst, and only 12.5 % of samples taken from the LWS herbarium (excluding controls) were successfully amplified. In general, nuclear primers, except for UniPlant, demonstrated a better success rate (mean – 31.5 %) during the work with samples taken from the LWS herbarium. Meanwhile, the plastid primers, except for trnL P6 Loop, showed slightly lower amplification success (mean – 26.8 %).

Published: December 2024

Kematian orang yang dicintai karena terpapar virus Covid-19 menjadi pengalaman dukacita yang mengejutkan, penuh keterbatasan, isolasi, dan ragam hal baru yang jarang ditemukan ketika bersumpah. Gereja telah melakukan pelayanan pastoral kedukaan di tengah keterbatasan dan rasa takut, namun kedukaan keluarga yang ditinggalkan masih memiliki banyak pergumulan yang belum terselesaikan, hingga menimbulkan pengalaman dukacita traumatis. Usaha gereja dalam memberikan pelayanan pastoral kedukaan di tengah rasa ketakutan dan keterbatasan bagi pengalaman dukacita warga gereja yang kehilangan anggota keluarga akibat terpapar virus Covid-19 bukanlah titik akhir dari gereja sebagai ruang kedukaan, sehingga tulisan ini berusaha menyarankan pelayanan pastoral kedukaan pasca pandemi yang membantu anggota jemaatnya untuk secara penuh serta utuh menghadapi kedukaan yang berkelindan dengan pengalaman traumatis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan merupakan penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi literatur dalam memperoleh data-data penelitian. Artikel ini bertujuan menggunakan teori Alan D. Wolfelt tentang Reframing PTSD sebagai Duka Trauma yang signifikan untuk mengembangkan model kedukaan pastoral bagi warga jemaat yang mengalami dukacita karena kematian anggota keluarga akibat virus Covid-19, namun belum beroleh kesempatan menanganinya secara menyeluruh. Dukacita ini saya sebut sebagai dukacita yang belum selesai ( unfinished kesedihan ) yang menimbulkan trauma bagi keluarga yang khawatir. Artikel ini memperkaya wacana Teologi Pastoral yang meningkatkan kepekaan dan kepedulian terhadap pengalaman dukacita traumatis warga jemaah yang belum selesai pasca kematian anggota keluarga akibat virus Covid-19.

Managing Multinational Corporations in a Changing World Order: Institutional Pressures, Ethical Principles and Social Responsibility
Authors: Kirste Laura
Published: December 2024

Human rights violations in global supply chains, harmful greenhouse gas emissions, plastic waste, child labor, … – the growing public concern for the impact of international business activities on society and the environment requires multinational corporations (MNCs) to take on various responsibilities. These societal demands for more corporate responsibility are becoming increasingly codified, for example through new legislation such as supply chain due diligence laws. In addition, MNCs must navigate a complex political environment with increasingly ambiguous and, at times, irreconcilable demands. I analyze how these developments translate into institutional pressures and how these pressures impact the behaviors and strategies of MNCs.

Published: December 2024

COVID-19 is a global health epidemic due to increasing infections and deaths. Indonesia has many confirmed cases with high daily case growth, including the Bandung City and Bandung Regency areas. High mobility between regions can impact the growth of COVID-19 cases. Strategies to prevent the growth of COVID-19 cases need to be carried out by considering the growth of COVID-19 cases in the nearest area. The Vector Autoregression (VAR) model is a forecasting model that can consider geographic impacts. This study aims to model the growth of cases in adjacent areas and have high mobility using the VAR method. The growth of COVID-19 cases in Bandung City and Bandung Regency is integrated into the VAR model to see the impact of each other. The VAR model also considers the impact of case growth in the past on its region's future. Transformation and differencing are carried out on the time series of case growth in each region to achieve time-series stationarity so that the VAR model can be carried out. First-order VAR becomes a model representing the growth of COVID-19 cases in Bandung City and Bandung Regency. The model shows that COVID-19 cases in each region will decrease over time and each region impacts each other. Decreasing cases growth can be caused because people who have been infected and vaccinated have sound immune systems to prevent re-infection. However, prevention still needs to be done to stop the pandemic. Therefore, restrictions on mobility between regions can be used as a strategy to prevent COVID-19 infection.

Review Studies Related to Metacognition of Teachers: Awareness, Skills, Understanding and Practices
Authors: Amarasinghe A.P.G.P. , Agarwal Nidhi , Kodituwakku Godwin
Published: December 2024

Teachers are among the most important school-based resources for determining students’ long-term academic success and outcomes. The ultimate objective of improving professional change of teachers is to gain higher achievement levels of students. Professional development of teachers has become an important issue in transforming school education for the 21st century according to research conducted by National Education Commission, Sri Lanka. There should be new thinking on how the professionalism of teachers should be improved for the future development of teaching and learning. Therefore, the psychological concept “metacognition” defined as knowledge and regulation of one’s thinking processes can be incorporated into teaching. Through metacognitive ability, teachers can observe, regulate, and control their thinking processes to become excellent. There are many studies at the international level related to the metacognition of teachers concerning their performances. However, Sri Lankan context, there are only 11 published studies related to that. The study’s goal was to review studies related to the metacognition of teachers: awareness, skills, understanding, and practices and to make conclusions for future educational goals. Data were gathered by a documentary survey searching Google Scholar and Research Gate. Qualitative data analysis was used. The overall findings revealed that the metacognition of teachers positively influences their teaching performances. The metacognitive awareness level of teachers was good, while their skills were relatively low. Many pre-service teachers didn’t understand what metacognition is and how to empower it. Hence, familiarizing and practicing “metacognition” can be recommended for the improvement of quality teaching in Sri Lanka.

Narrative Transmission of Knowledge
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Butakov Pavel
Published: December 2024

What kind of knowledge can narratives transmit beyond their explicit propositional content? An extreme reductionist would argue that no additional knowledge is transmitted. A moderate reductionist might suggest that narratives can impart an additional structure to the knowledge, such as emphasizing importance or plausibility. In contrast, a moderate non-reductionist would assert that narratives contain non-explicit propositional content, including causal relationships between events and generalizations. Finally, an extreme non-reductionist would see stories as a means to transmit non-propositional knowledge, most prominently, knowledge of persons and personal perspectives. This categorization aids in understanding which aspects of narrative knowledge could be accessible to artificial intelligence.
Nation as a Unity of Cultural and Political Characteristics
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Solodova Galina
Published: December 2024

Based on the works of leading experts in ethnic issues (F. Bart, R. Brubaker, E. Balibar, etc.), it is shown that establishing the roots and genesis of such a phenomenon as a nation is not always an easy task. The thesis about the linear fate of nations and the historically consistent transformation of ethnic forms into nations seems to be not entirely substantiated. The terminological unambiguity of the very concept of a nation seems illusory. Without denying the cultural diversity and coherence of the concept of a nation with the socio-cultural features of the historical experience of peoples, it is shown that this category is largely a product of state ideology. It is shown that culture is not a primary marker, but rather a consequence or result of ethnic group organization.

Published: December 2024

A partir de información inédita de un expediente encontrado en el Archivo General de Indias, este artículo propone su vinculación con otra fuente idéntica en su naturaleza, pero no en su contenido, editada por R. Levillier hace más de un siglo, y la identificación analítica comentada y contextualizada de la trama vincular surgida a partir de los testimonios presentados en ellos. Lo que propongo aquí es un ejercicio exploratorio y experimental destinado a identificar y definir redes de poder discretas y sus consecuencias históricas. Lejos de pretender sacar conclusiones definitivas, ya que la experiencia aún está en curso, intento indagar, a través de una perspectiva metodológica emergente en las disciplinas antropológicas e históricas sudamericanas, en un campo relacional en el que existen datos dispersos y articularlo con procesos socio-históricos contemporáneos a ellos. En este último procedimiento, recurro a algunas categorías del análisis de redes sociales para reconocer y estudiar dichos procesos, tales como las nociones de cuasigrupo, conjunto de acción y facción.

Emollients and moisturizing have the quality of softening or soothing the skin. Creams the skin. The term' moisturizer' is frequently used synonymously with emollient, but moisturizers frequently contain humectants that hydrate the stratum corneum. Blankness is constantly linked to an disabled function observed, for illustration, in atopic skin, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and contact dermatitis. Emptiness and skin barricade conditions are not a single reality, but are characterized by differences in chemistry and morphology in the epidermis Moisturizers have multiple functions piecemeal from dampening the skin. analogous to other actives, the efficacy is likely to depend on the lozenge, where compliance is a great challenge faced in the operation of skin conditions. Strong odor from constituents and slithery compositions may be disagreeable to the cases. Likewise, low pH and sensitive responses, from lactic acid and urea for illustration, may reduce patient acceptance. Once applied to the skin, the constituents can stay on the face, be absorbed into the skin, be metabolized , or vanish from the face by evaporation, sloughing off, or by contact with other accouterments . In addition to substances considered as actives,(e.g. emulsifiers, antioxidants, preservatives). Recent findings indicate that actives and excipients may have more pronounced goods in the skin than preliminarily considered

The incidence of fungal infections is increasing at an alarming rate, presenting an enormous challenge to healthcare professionals. COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis (CAM) was mostly isolated during the second wave with mortality rate of almost 31-50%. Superficial and subcutaneous fungal infections affect the skin, keratinous tissues and mucous membranes. Included in this class are some of the most frequently occurring skin diseases, affecting millions of people worldwide. Although rarely life threatening, they can have debilitating effects on a person‘s quality of life and may in some circumstances spread to other individuals or become invasive. Most superficial and subcutaneous fungal infections are easily diagnosed and readily amenable to treatment. The indications for the use of currently available diagnosis and test, antifungal agents, their adverse effects, drug interactions, drugs resistance and COVID-19–associated mucormycosis in India.

Published: December 2024

This article provides an overview of nanocrystals as a potentially valuable technology for enhancing the solubility of water-insoluble pharmaceuticals. Nanocrystals increase surface area by reducing particle size, hence improving bioavailability and solubility. The authors describe the preparation processes, benefits, and difficulties of employing nanocrystal formulations to overcome the solubility limitations of poorly soluble drugs. The authors examine formulation techniques that help with solubility problems, such as liposomes and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems. These lipid formulations are a useful technique in drug development because they further investigate how they affect drug absorption and bioavailability

Concrete is a mixer of various materials. These materials include water, cement, and aggregates. These materials include water, cement, and aggregates develop substitute materials for cement. It reduces both greenhouse emissions and the cost of concrete. In this work, an endeavor has been made to utilize wood-ash as a substitute material to cement. The effect of wood-ash as a alternative to cement on the performance of concrete has been studied. Wood is a sustainable source for energy and eco-amiable material. The cement has been replaced with wood ash by 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%,and studied for the performance of concrete. Results confirm that the wood-ash addition as a partial alternative to cement improves the overall performance of concrete

Published: December 2024

La inteligencia artificial se ha convertido en una parte integral de muchas aplicaciones y servicios que utilizamos a diario.  Este artículo presenta el diseño de un modelo que utiliza tecnologías de visión artificial para detectar e identificar la concentración de personas y generar alertas según los valores, proporcionados por un algoritmo de clasificación específico para aglomeraciones.  El proyecto está enfocado en la atención al público panameño. Teniendo en cuenta que, actualmente, las empresas de transporte no cuentan con herramientas que permitan el manejo de datos para obtener información sobre las condiciones de los pasajeros lo largo de las diferentes rutas.  El objetivo principal es desarrollar un modelo que pueda detectar aglomeraciones en tiempo real y lograr proporcionarles información a los operadores de transporte sobre la cantidad de usuarios en los buses, y como resultado mejorar el proceso de toma de decisiones. Se utilizan librerías aplicadas a la visión artificial, con el fin de proponer una solución eficiente y rápida que, además permite una mejora continua, facilitando la gestión y la prevención de las aglomeraciones. Como resultado, el sistema propuesto detectó las aglomeraciones en un 84.04 %, demostrando la posibilidad de la optimización del flujo de pasajeros.
Desafíos en la adquisición del subjuntivo para estudiantes sinohablantes
Authors: Zhang Xinyu , Jordán Mazzo Gloria
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo investiga las dificultades que enfrentan los estudiantes sinohablantes en la adquisición del subjuntivo durante la etapa inicial del aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera.  El marco teórico incluye una comparación detallada entre las estructuras gramaticales del español y el chino, destacando las diferencias en los modos verbales y tiempos.  El objetivo del estudio es identificar los principales obstáculos que los estudiantes chinos enfrentan al aprender el subjuntivo y proponer estrategias didácticas para superarlos.  La metodología se basa en un análisis comparativo de estudios previos y encuestas realizadas por investigadores, quienes documentaron los errores más comunes en la selección del subjuntivo entre los estudiantes chinos.  Los principales resultados muestran que los estudiantes confunden frecuentemente el subjuntivo con el indicativo, y experimentan dificultades en la conjugación de verbos y el uso de pronombres personales.  El estudio concluye que la metodología tradicional utilizada en China no proporciona suficientes herramientas para la correcta adquisición del subjuntivo, y propone la implementación del modelo pedagógico de Ruiz Campillo (2004), que enfatiza un enfoque lógico y comunicativo en lugar de memorización.
revocatoria del acto administrativo como potestad legal de la administración pública en el ejercicio de sus funciones
Authors: Broce Bravo Aquilino
Published: December 2024

En la presente investigación realizaremos un análisis dogmático, normativo y jurisprudencial sobre el instrumento jurídico de revocatoria de los actos administrativos en la legislación panameña, el cual tiene su génesis con la implementación de la Ley 38 de 2000, que aprueba el estatuto orgánico de la procuraduría de la administración, regula el procedimiento administrativo general y dicta disposiciones especiales, la cual entro en vigencia el 1 de marzo de 2001 brindándole a la administración pública, la potestad legal mediante está figura jurídica, de revocar de oficio sus propios actos de conformidad a los supuestos establecidos en el artículo 62 de la ley objeto de estudio.  Es importante señalar que en el hecho de que la administración pública no ponga en práctica esta figura jurídica, la misma puede ser requerida o solicitada por un tercero interesado dentro del proceso administrativo.  La revocatoria del acto administrativo tiene como principal objetivo convalidar y rectificar las actuaciones de la administración pública siempre y cuando se enmarquen en los supuestos jurídicos establecidos en la propia ley; por consiguiente, la herramienta legal en mención tiene un carácter restrictivo, ya que debe estar motivada, fundamentada y ser respetuosa de los principios de buena fe y seguridad jurídica propios de un Estado de derecho.
