The main aim of this study was to unpack the health and socioeconomic status of waste-picking activities in Mayville, Cato Manor, and Westville in Durban. It analyzed the quality of life of waste pickers, their awareness of the risks associated with this kind of work, and the extent of their uptake of health-protective measures. A quantitative approach was adopted, and a questionnaire was used to gather data from 81 waste pickers. The findings revealed that unemployment was the main reason for taking up waste picking and that this was the respondents' primary source of income. It was also found that most respondents resided in shacks and had no access to running water. Most were unaware of the risks associated with this kind of work. Based on these findings, it is recommended that economic development be pursued to create employment opportunities and that delivery of essential services such as potable water be improved, especially in informal settlements. Awareness campaigns should be launched to educate waste pickers on handling waste, the risks associated with this kind of work, and the need to adopt protective health measures. Finally, the researcher recommends further research on waste picking in Durban as there is a paucity of information on this activity in the city.

Authors: SUSILO Daniel , DIZON Carl C.G.
Published: November 2023

In the wake of COVID-19, the rise of remote work has led to a significant increase in private vehicle ownership among Filipinos. This trend poses a significant challenge for sustainability and environmental preservation. This study examines how Gcash Philippines, through its Instagram account @Gcashofficial, is addressing this issue by promoting sustainable practices and actions. This research utilizes content analysis to examine posts on @Gcashofficial over a one-year period (2023-2024). The analysis focuses on messages related to sustainability development - including preservation, communication, and action - and how these messages relate to the problem of increased private vehicle ownership. The study reveals that @Gcashofficial is actively promoting sustainable practices as a response to growing environmental concerns linked with increased private vehicle use. Notably, it was found that owning a private vehicle is often portrayed as a significant contributor to future air pollution issues. These findings have critical implications for both policy-makers and businesses alike. For policy-makers, understanding how digital platforms can be used effectively for sustainability

Authors: PAMUNGKAS Indra Novianto Adibayu , SUNARTO Sunarto , SIGIT Ridzki Rinanto
Published: November 2023

Digitalization makes adaptation a new demand that MSMEs, particularly in the microbusiness sector, must comply with. Unfortunately, this sector has a lower rate of adopting digital content for promotion purposes. Since the advent of social media, storytelling has become one of the most popular types of digital marketing material, and It also has the added benefit of preventing advertising from being rejected. This research is quantitative, using a survey of microbusiness owners in West Java, Indonesia. The results of the hypothesis test show that compatibility and social influence are the two most important predictors of adoption rates, with compatibility showing the highest adoption rate for the acceptance of all indicators of storytelling as digital material except mythology. West Java is one of the areas with aspects of mythology and cultural stories mixed with stories and tales; yet, culture is viewed as an ambiguous notion when connected to consumer behavior intellectually, practically, and legally.
Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a fractional-order ring-hub structure neural network with delays under parameters delay feedback control
Authors: Ma Yuan , Dai Yunxian
Published: November 2023

In this paper, a fractional-order two delays neural network with ring-hub structure is investigated. Firstly, the stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation of proposed system are obtained by taking the sum of two delays as the bifurcation parameter. Furthermore, a parameters delay feedback controller is introduced to control successfully Hopf bifurcation. The novelty of this paper is that the characteristic equation corresponding to system has two time delays and the parameters depend on one of them. Selecting two time delays as the bifurcation parameters simultaneously, stability switching curves in $ (\tau_{1}, \tau_{2}) $ plane and crossing direction are obtained. Sufficient criteria for the stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation of controlled system are given. Ultimately, numerical simulation shows that parameters delay feedback controller can effectively control Hopf bifurcation of system.
L’île sur le fleuve dans Mud (Jeff Nichols, 2013) et Wild River (Elia Kazan, 1960) : Requiem contre le progrès ?
Authors: Gorgievski Sandra
Published: November 2023

Espace métaphorique, exemple de dualisme entre espace et profondeur, espace du dedans/du dehors, l’île déserte sur le fleuve Mississippi est magnifiée dans Mud, tandis que dans Wild River, les habitants de l’île sur le fleuve Hiwassee sont chassés par la marche inéluctable du progrès industriel. Ces deux films dépeignent des communautés américaines subsistantes, mais destinées à disparaître ; dans les deux cas, l’intrusion d’un étranger sur l’île provoque attirance, fascination et désir pour certains, répulsion et danger pour d’autres. Tous deux montrent, selon des points de vue et perspectives divergents, la confrontation avec l’adversité qui passe avant tout par le récit initiatique (deux adolescents dans Mud) et par la confrontation constructive entre un homme et une femme que leurs cultures respectives opposent (le Nord et le Sud dans Wild River).
Chacun sur son île et Dieu pour tous ? Solitude existentielle, isolation et insularité dans l’œuvre de Michel Houellebecq
Authors: Ferdjani Youssef
Published: November 2023

L’île évoquée dans le titre du roman de Michel Houellebecq La Possibilité d’une île n’existe pas, c’est un endroit imaginaire qui correspond à un idéal. On pourrait l’appeler l’île du bonheur et dire que tout le cycle romanesque tend vers ce but. C’est une île car c’est forcément un endroit séparé du continent, c’est un lieu isolé car l’amour véritable ne peut exister, semble-t-il, que loin de la société. En effet, le héros houellebecquien est un être isolé au milieu de la foule. La libération sexuelle n’a donc pas eu les effets escomptés. Au lieu de l’idéal communautaire, c’est exactement l’inverse qui s’est produit. Et nous verrons comment Michel Houellebecq, à partir de ce constat, va introduire la notion d’insularité dans son œuvre. La solitude existentielle, caractéristique de l’époque contemporaine, aura pour conséquence l’isolation complète de chaque homme dans une « résidence », un territoire sur lequel il sera seul et coupé des autres. L’œuvre dans son ensemble décrit une situation qui est très deégradée mais insiste paradoxalement sur l’importance de l’amour et sur le rôle de la littérature pour inciter les êtres humains à partir à la recherche d’îles imaginaires qui sont autant d’îlots de résistance dans un monde de solitude.
Archipels imaginaires, voyages en insularités
Authors: Michel-Fauré Valérie
Published: November 2023

L’île est l’objet de projections multiples, de mythes et légendes, tant sur le plan poétique que sur le plan romanesque, dans l’ensemble des cinq continents. Sujet de prédilection pour représenter l’exil et la solitude, volontaire ou involontaire, elle est ambivalente selon les contextes : le refuge ou la prison, le paradis ou l’enfer, la séparation ou les retrouvailles, l’arrivée ou le départ, l’immensité ou le lieu clos, la guerre ou la paix, l’utopie ou la dystopie, le profane ou le sacré. Plusieurs corpus incarnent cette pensée nomade et archipélique de l’insularité, entre réalité et fiction, récits de voyages. Ce parcours propose d’analyser en premier lieu l’approche d’auteurs-compositeurs qui ont marqué notre imaginaire populaire. En second lieu, les récits naturalistes, romans d’aventures et fantastiques, romances ont accompagné nos enfances et adolescences, tels des rituels de passage à l’âge adulte, découvrant des terres lointaines, étranges, inconnues, des espaces imaginaires ou réels, sauvages. Habitant nos inconscients collectifs, ces auteurs se révèlent aujourd’hui comme des lanceurs d’alerte, leur prise de conscience de l’impact de l’homme sur le vivant végétal et animal, anticipateurs des concepts d’écosophie, d’écologie littéraire, d’évocentrisme, de libre évolution, de littérature-monde, d’écologie humaniste.
Erector spinae plane block for post-operative analgesia in thoracolumbar spine surgery: A randomised controlled trial
Authors: Chiraya Seerat , Singh Jasveer , Mitra Sukanya , Malhotra Arvind , Srivastava Mohit Kishore , Fatima Samra
Published: November 2023

Background and Aims:

Thoracolumbar spine surgery is one of the most painful surgical procedures. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the effect of erector spinae plane (ESP) block on post-operative cumulative morphine consumption at 24 h in patients undergoing thoracolumbar spine surgery.

Methods:

Seventy adults posted for thoracolumbar spine surgery were randomised into the control group [Number of patients (n)=35], who received general anaesthesia without any nerve block, and the intervention group (n = 35), who received bilateral ultrasound (US)-guided ESP block at the level of spine surgery with 0.25% bupivacaine 20 mL after standard general anaesthesia. Along with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia morphine, post-operative analgesia was standardised for both groups. Total morphine consumption, visual analogue scale (VAS) score to evaluate pain, overall patient satisfaction, and any side effects were compared at 24 h. The statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

Results:

Post-operative total morphine consumption at 24 h was significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to the control group [5.69 (1.549) versus 9.51 (1.634) mg; P < 0.001]. Post-operative VAS scores were also significantly decreased in the intervention group at rest (P < 0.001) and on movement (P < 0.001). Patient satisfaction scores were more favourable in the intervention group [3.8 (0.4) versus 3.2 (0.6); P < 0.001]. Post-operative nausea and vomiting were found more in the control group but were not significant (n = 14 versus 8; P = 0.127).

Conclusion:

US-guided ESP block significantly reduces post-operative morphine consumption and improves analgesia and patient satisfaction without adverse effects in patients undergoing thoracolumbar spine surgery.
Comparison of analgesic effects of pericapsular nerve group block and fascia iliaca compartment block during hip arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Authors: Prakash Jay , Rochwerg Bram , Saran Khushboo , Yadav Arun K. , Bhattacharya Pradip Kumar , Kumar Amit , Chaudhuri Dipayan , Priye Shio
Published: November 2023

Background and Aims:

Postoperative pain for patients having hip arthroplasty ranges from moderate to severe. Many regional anaesthesia procedures treat postoperative pain to improve functional ability and quality of life. Evidence comparing the analgesic effects of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) remains unclear. The analgesic efficacies of PENG and FICB in hip arthroplasty were compared to determine which technique is associated with superior analgesia.

Methods:

The electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Web of Sciences) were searched for published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) till 5 April 2023 comparing PENG block vs. FICB following hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome was pain scores [numerical rating scale (NRS) or visual analogue scale (VAS)] between 0 and 10 at rest and during movement at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included pain scores at rest and during movement within 30 min, at 6 h and 12 h, time to first rescue analgesia and cumulative postoperative opioid use in 24 h. We assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk-of-Bias 2 tool. Using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), the certainty of the evidence was assessed. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the source of heterogeneity.

Results:

We included 12 RCTs examining 644 patients. Pain scores at rest at 24 h (standardised mean differences (SMDs): 0.17; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.90 to 1.23; P = 0.76, moderate certainty) and during movement at 24 h (SMD: -0.58, 95% CI: -1.53 to 0.38, P = 0.24, moderate certainty) were not different in both PENG block and FICB. Pain scores at rest and during movement within 30 min may be lower with PENG block than FICB. However, the pain score at rest and during movement at 6 h and the time to first rescue analgesia were not different between the two treatment arms. The mean opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents (mg) in 24 h may be lower with PENG than FICB.

Conclusion:

We observed no difference between the PENG block and the FICB at 24 h for pain at rest and movement with a moderate degree of certainty. However, PENG block showed improved analgesia within 30 min at rest and during movement, and reduce postoperative opioid consumption in 24 h with moderate certainty of evidence. Further large-scale and high-quality RCTs are required to supplement the present findings.
EVALUATION AND CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY OF PLANTS USED FOR
MEDICINAL PURPOSE
Authors: Gautam Surbhi , Ramamurthy A. , Sharma Tarun
Published: November 2023

India is a very rich hub of plant biodiversity, many of those are therapeutically and medicinally useful. The rich resources are disappearing at an alarming state because of over-exploitation. Some of the endangered medicinal plants are Saussaurea lappa, Picrorrhiza kurroa, Swertia chirata, Holostemma annnularis, Rauwolfia serpenti-na. Normally there are two methods of conservation: in situ and ex situ conservation. Many techniques were also followed in ancient times to conserve or cultivate plants. There is a need to conserve the medicinal plants to prevent their total extinction from the natural flora. The expanding trade in medicinal plants has implications for the survival of several plant species. Growing demand for therapeutic products from indigenous medicinal plants, itself has positive effect of increased interest in cultivation, which seems a perfect option for improving smallholder farmers’ livelihoods, as well as sustaining the availability of these resources for future generations. Cultivation of medicinal plants provides feasible solutions to pharmaceutical organization, while effectively con-serving threatened indigenous biodiversity. The purpose of this paper is to justify and emphasize the need for the evaluation and cultivation of medicinal plants.

Linguistic-conceptual analysis of silence in the novel «Ivan» by V.O. Bogomolov
Authors: Licari Camilla
Published: November 2023

A review of the verbal and nonverbal representations of the concept of silence and its cognitive and propositional structure in the literary context is presented in this paper. The research is based on the novel "Ivan" (1957) by Vladimir O. Bogomolov and the aim is to decode the general linguistic layer underlying the literary concept of silence and to discover the author's intention in the linguistic means of objectifying the concept. Using the pragmatic expressive and aesthetic approach typical of a literary text, the author narrates the mysterious story of Ivan, a twelve-year-old boy found in the water near the riverbank and arrested on suspicion of espionage. By employing the metaphor of silence, the author focuses on describing the boy's private history, deprived of his childhood, which he reverently guards in his silence, devoting more attention to that than to the depiction of military episodes. The article deals with a variety of verbalizations of the conceptual content of silence, revealing the author's individual perceptions of it, allowing him to present the conceptosphere of silence as a field, the core of which is a generalized cognitive and propositional structure that includes the main lexical representations of the concept. Figurative meanings constitute the immediate periphery, while subjective-modal meanings are the further periphery. Such an analysis helps to reveal the functions of the concept in focus and, consequently, to interpret the individual-authorial image of the world and broaden the understanding of the narrative text itself.

Published: November 2023

This study investigated the influence of security challenges on the sustainability of gender equality in access to quality education in South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to ascertain forms, causes and consequences of security challenges on the sustainability of gender equality in access to quality education in the South-Eastern states of Nigeria. Five research questions and five corresponding hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised estimated 63, 935 respondents that comprised 22,576 male and female teachers and 41, 359 parents in the study area. Multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted and 759 respondents comprising 378 teachers and 381 parents were randomly selected. The instrument for data collection was a 46-item structured questionnaire on a 4-point modified Likert scale designed by the researchers with response options ranging from Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), to Disagree (D) and Strongly Disagree (SD). Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics involving mean and standard deviation, while hypotheses were tested at a .05 level of significance using independent sample t-test statistics. Results of the study revealed among others that human, perceived socio-political Exclusion, cultural and internal factors which resulted in agitation for self-rule through the instrumentality of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), constitute security challenges to sustainability of gender equality in access to quality education in the South-East Nigeria which affect sustainability of gender equality in access to quality education as it increases school dropout rate, and unfriendly learning environment. The study recommended among other things that, Federal and South-East state governments should use dialogue and strategic communication framework to curb security challenges that threaten quality education in the South-Eastern Nigeria and that constructive engagement of youths through Technical and vocational education, and the unconditional release of the IPOB leader could curb the security challenges in the area.

Authors: Sasidharan Drishya , P. Talwar
Published: November 2023

Purpose: Late adolescence is widely noted as significant for laying the foundation for distinctive neurologic, cognitive, and social changes as well as functional maturity. As this stage is the foundation for ongoing development throughout one's life, any maladjustment at this age may affect the whole life of the individual. Young adults are the population most at risk of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), a traumatic occurrence that happened before the age of eighteen. Resilience helps individuals bounce back from adversity and achieve success in their lives. The connection between adverse childhood experience (ACE) and resilience can aid individuals in overcoming challenging circumstances and shield them from acquiring mental health issues.
Methodology: A cross-sectional research approach was used to collect information from 154 late young adult students from Mangalore, ranging in age from 18 to 25 years.
Results: The study emphasizes the significance of identifying and addressing ACEs early in a child's life to reduce their long-term consequences on resilience. A significant but weak correlation was found between adverse childhood experiences and resilience.
Originality: The present research is of interest since it examines the relationship between adversity in childhood (ACE) and resilience, which can aid individuals in overcoming challenging circumstances and shield them from acquiring mental health issues. A further improvement in this area may benefit the total well-being of humanity in many aspects

Published: November 2023

Hawked water usually in a sachet or plastic bottle is considered safe and ready to be taken immediately after purchase. However, not all hawked water in Nigeria can be regarded as safe because not all water manufacturing industries follow the required standard and in most cases scuttle the need to maintain standards due to tax-related issues and sometimes greed. This study presents a systematic assessment of the bacteriological and physicochemical attributes of hawked sachet water collected from five distinct locations within Bauchi Local Government area of Bauchi state, Nigeria. The research was conducted meticulously in a controlled environment to ensure the reliability of the findings. The study sought to determine the levels of physicochemical (pH, hardness, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, total solid, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, chloride, temperature and turbidity) and bacteriological analysis (serial dilution, multiple tube fermentation, total plate count and confirmatory and completed test) of five replicate samples using standard microbiology techniques. The results were compared to World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water quality guidelines. A greater percentage of analyses for physicochemical parameters were below acceptable limits except for the pH value which falls within acceptable limits. The bacteriological analysis showed there is a higher bacterial load in Area C compared to the other five locations while under microscopy, gram-negative rods were observed and recorded under x40 and x100 objective. It can be inferred from the research that certain hawked water within Bauchi, Bauchi state, Nigeria can be considered unsafe because it possesses health risks to consumers and is unsuitable for direct human consumption without proper treatment. The study recommends strict enforcement of laws governing treatment water to protect the people of Bauchi state and other affected locations from further consequences of drinking untreated hawked water.

Published: November 2023

No Brasil, a expectativa de vida se aproxima aos 80 anos e em breve, o número de idosos ultrapassará o número de crianças e adolescentes. A partir dessas informações, o país terá uma nova pirâmide etária e os desafios que no momento já fazem parte do cronograma que precisam ser cumpridos como por exemplo, elevar a qualidade da saúde pública. O processo do envelhecimento é causado por mudanças fisiológicas, alterando a farmacocinética e a farmacodinâmica, resultando na dificuldade de resultados positivos da adesão terapêutica. Outros fatores são importantes a serem avaliados, como o aumento das comorbidades no idoso e o manejo da polifarmácia. É cada vez mais comum que os idosos queiram atingir maior autonomia em seu cotidiano, e infelizmente os acidentes domésticos podem causar quedas e fraturas, por isso a participação da família e a inclusão de uma boa equipe multiprofissional no cuidado da saúde do idoso são fundamentais. O farmacêutico clínico como parte dessa equipe multiprofissional, consegue atender o paciente de forma completa e fazendo o acompanhamento da evolução clínica.

Authors: Rogers John , Evans Amanda
Published: November 2023

Homelessness and mental illness frequently occur together. Individuals who have a mental illness and are homeless may experience a range of challenges and are often underserved by behavioral health professionals. This study used Participatory Action Research to form a working group (n=6), which met at a homeless shelter located in a small city in the United States (U.S) mid-Atlantic region, to generate insights and responses to the challenges they had encountered. The authors posed several research questions in the context of lived experiences of individuals who experience homelessness and mental illness. The researchers used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to interpret the data in light of these questions. We generated four key themes: the trauma of homelessness and mental illness, the power of personal connection, personal agency, and achievement, and meaning through action. For mental health counselors, suggestions include incorporating a trauma-informed framework, minimal turnover in counselor coverage, and a client-centered approach.

The current study aims to construct a perphenazine oral nanosuspension utilizing the solvent evaporation technique with a variety of stabilizers and surfactants, including PVPK30, Pluronic F127, urea, and SLS. In order to obtain desired size and saturation solubility, several as well as process factors were tuned. Particle size, zeta potential, saturation solubility, dissolving rate, morphological study (SEM), and in-vitro dissolution study were all used to characterize the produced Nanosuspension. The improved formulation's (F12) zeta potential value was discovered to be -7mv, which was determined to be within acceptable bounds. It was discovered that the average particle size of optimal formulations (F12) in nanosuspension was 118 nm. According to the in vitro investigations, formulation F12 exhibits the greatest 98.65% of the medication is released within 30 minutes. The drug was not released for minutes by any of the other formulations. Understanding how the release of drugs via Nanosuspension functioned was aided by the application of mathematical formulae that included zero out, and first out, method equation. R2 analysis revealed that the enhanced 1st order kinetics by F12.
