Authors: Deivanai S. , Saraswathi R. , Mariappan Umapathi , Ganesan Maheswari
Published: October 2024

Birthing ball exercises are one of the non-pharmacological methods for speeding the start of labour. Exercises with birth balls have the potential to reduce discomfort by relaxing muscles and improving blood flow to the uterus. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of birth ball use on labour outcomes among primi mothers at a selected hospital in Salem. A quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental post-test control group design was used. The sample size was 60; each 30 in the experimental group and control group were selected by using the non-probability purposive sampling technique. Written consent was obtained from the samples. A modified partograph was used to assess the labour outcomes. Both birth balls utilised in this study were found to affect labour outcomes. There were statistically positive correlations between the birth ball exercise effects on the progress of labour in terms of decreasing labour pain (z = 4.910 at p level of P<0.001), the highest effect on cervical dilatation (z =2.856 at p level of P<0.001), promoting normal modes of delivery (z = 4.538 at p level of P<0.001), and reducing the perineal tear (z = 3.693 at p level of P<0.001) in the experimental group group, while the control group showed less progress with highly statistically significant differences. Moreover, the control group expressed a higher pain score and perineal tear. This study revealed that the birth ball sitting helps to reduce the indensity of labour pain, promote cervical dilatation, and promote normal delivery.
Urban Wastewater Management Using BIM Method
Authors: Sajad Mohammadian
Published: October 2024

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a method that emphasizes object-based data management, communication, and collaboration among all project participants throughout the entire lifecycle of a system. It is becoming an international standard for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Although BIM is gaining traction in the wastewater industry, the literature on its application in this field is still limited. This research, through expert interviews and literature review, explores the extent to which BIM has been introduced in the sewage industry and the associated opportunities and challenges. Initial projects in wastewater management using BIM include the construction and development of sewage treatment plants and special structures. Planning offices are leading the way in adopting BIM, supported by catalogs of industry-specific objects, clear definitions of responsibilities, and the potential for enhanced operation of sewage systems. Some users have already recognized the benefits of BIM and adjusted their processes accordingly. BIM’s object-oriented modeling improves the visualization of construction projects and processes, offering significant advantages in model-based plan derivation and mass determination. It also focuses on the collection, exchange, and storage of relevant data, which can benefit the entire wastewater industry. The research confirms that BIM adds value to wastewater management, especially since infrastructure is often difficult to access post-construction and knowledge about the systems is typically limited to those involved in the construction phase. However, to fully and effectively utilize BIM, further improvements are necessary. This requires intensive collaboration among project participants, software producers, and customers. The integration of BIM in wastewater management holds promise, but its successful implementation depends on overcoming current challenges and enhancing the method through collective effort.

Effects of donor-engrafted clonal hematopoiesis in stem cell transplantation
Authors: Patel Shyam
Published: October 2024

Donor stem cell health may be critically important to the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Herein, we performed this systematic review and meta-analysis including meta-regression to assess the impacts of donor-engrafted clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) and of pre-transplant CH in autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT). We applied random effects models to analyze 5 allo-HSCT studies with 3192 donor-recipient pairs and 9 auto-HSCT studies with 2854 patients. We
found that donor-engrafted CH after allo-HSCT decreased the risk of disease relapse [Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.79, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): (0.67, 0.93)], but did not affect overall survival (OS) [HR = 0.91, 95% CI: (0.75, 1.11)], progression-free survival (PFS) [HR = 0.94, 95% CI: (0.63, 1.41)], or non-relapse mortality [HR = 1.06, 95% CI: (0.81, 1.39)]. In contrast, pre-transplant CH in auto-HSCT recipients resulted in inferior OS [HR = 1.30, 95% CI: (1.16, 1.46)], inferior PFS [HR = 1.35, 95% CI: (1.18, 1.54)], and higher risk for
therapy-related myeloid neoplasm [HR = 4.85, 95% CI: (2.39, 9.82)] when compared to auto-HSCT recipients without CH. This study sheds light onto the debate about prospective “CHIP screening” for stem cell donors and addresses the impact of CH as a transmissible phenomenon.
Urban Fragility and the Aspiration for a Resilient City: Some Reflections on Jos Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors:   University of Jos, Nigeria, Daniel M. , Molwus J. ,   University of Jos, Nigeria
Published: October 2024

Urban fragility is a phenomenon that is conditioned by an accumulation of risks factors leading to crises, disruptions and destructions of varying scales in urban areas. Urban resilience seeks to mitigate fragility or counter its effects. It is on this theoretical footing that this empirical study is conducted in Jos metropolis in north central Nigeria, a location that has over the years accumulated devastating risks factors in spite of efforts to achieve resilience. Accordingly, the study undertakes an analysis of the scale of urban fragility along with the initiatives taken to improve resilience and mitigate the effects of fragilities in Jos metropolis. To this end, a wide range of secondary source material pertaining to nature and sources of fragilities and their impacts on humans, properties and supply of services was collected and combined with observations and lived experience for critical analysis. The analysis confirms that locational exposure of Jos to natural disasters in form of rainstorms and flash floods, as well as the absence of mitigation strategies, was responsible for fragilities leading to deaths, loss of property and disruptions of the supply of utility services on a seasonal basis. Other fragilities resulting from poor local governance, environmental degradation and overstretching of resources also produce environmental and socioeconomic impacts. It is concluded that human activities and the absence of adequate regulations at the city level expose the urban population to hazards. Further analysis suggests that resilient initiatives were tailored at improving urban governance, the institutional framework and the legal as well as regulatory mechanisms. While these efforts quite aligned with resilient intentions, they were, however, affected by inconsistencies and delayed implementation. Appropriate recommendations for upturning this situation in Jos metropolis are offered in the study.

Authors:   University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria, Ajiola Felix
Published: October 2024

This paper highlights the changing pattern of town planning and housing development in Lagos between 1900 and 1960, a period that witnessed the implementation of several colonial housing policies. Existing scholarship has overlooked the role that colonial land use policies played in the uneven town planning and housing development in Lagos. Drawing on a large body of colonial records and secondary sources, this paper analyses the impact of the British colonial government policies on housing development in colonial Lagos. Archival sources collected from the National Archive of Nigeria, Ibadan, and The National Archive (TNA), Kew, and secondary sources were critically engaged through a qualitative historical method. The uneven and combined development concept is deployed in depicting the biased housing development policies of the British government in Lagos. The British colonial land use policies impacted negatively on physical planning and housing development in Lagos. Colonial town planning schemes, sanitation regulations, and building laws precipitated the contemporary problem of uneven development that has impeded inclusive development in Lagos.

Navigating by Falling Stars: Monetary Policy with Fiscally Driven Natural Rates
Authors: Campos Rodolfo G. , Fernández-Villaverde Jesús , Nuño Galo , Paz Peter
Published: October 2024

We study a new type of monetary-fiscal interaction in a heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian model with a fiscal block. Due to household heterogeneity, the stock of public debt affects the natural interest rate, forcing the central bank to adapt its monetary policy rule to the fiscal stance to guarantee that inflation remains at its target. There is, however, a minimum level of debt below which steady-state inflation deviates from its target due to the zero lower bound on nominal rates. We analyze the response to a debt-financed fiscal expansion and quantify the impact of different timings in the adaptation of the monetary policy rule, as well as the performance of alternative monetary policy rules that do not require an assessment of natural rates. We validate our findings with a series of empirical estimates.
Salivary Biomarkers: A Noninvasive Revolution in Periodontal Disease Diagnosis
Authors: Tabasum Dr. Syeda T
Published: October 2024

Early detection of periodontal disease is critical for effective treatment and preventing complications. In recent years, salivary biomarkers have emerged as valuable tools for diagnosing and monitoring periodontal diseases, offering a noninvasive and easily accessible diagnostic medium. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the supporting structures of teeth, and traditional diagnostic methods, such as clinical and radiographic assessments, provide limited information about disease activity and future risk. Saliva, however, contains a rich array of biomarkers, including immunological, enzymatic, microbial, and inflammatory markers, which can reflect both oral and systemic health. This review explores the role of salivary biomarkers, including specific markers like immunoglobulins, enzymes, and cytokines, in assessing periodontal disease. It also discusses the potential of emerging technologies, such as microfluidic devices, in improving the diagnostic utility of saliva for periodontal health. Despite some challenges, the growing interest in saliva as a diagnostic tool holds promise for more precise and personalized periodontal care.

Authors: Zhang He , Xing Bo , Hou Yueqian
Published: October 2024

This paper launched an in-depth study on quality inspection and cost control in the production process of enterprises. Firstly, the right-tailed one-sided test is used to determine the sample sizes at 95% and 90% confidence level, which are 138 and 98 respectively, by defining the original and alternative hypotheses and using the confidence level and critical value calculation formulas in statistics. Next, the decision variables and parameters are defined to optimize the purchasing and assembling strategies of spare parts and finished products by Genetic Algorithm (GA). Assuming that the purchasing quantity of spare parts 1 and 2 is 100 and the assembly quantity of finished products is 80, it is finally found that no testing can effectively save costs, and the minimum total cost is $617.56. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation is chosen to cope with the complex and multi-stage problem with uncertainty. By randomly generating the substandard status of each spare part and finished product, adjusting according to the predetermined strategy, calculating each cost, and summarizing the results after simulating several times. The comprehensive analysis generates 499 decision scenarios, which are visualized by scatter plots and histograms to help enterprises trade-off between defective rate and production cost and choose the optimal strategy.

Published: October 2024

Uvod: Ruptura prednje ukrižene sveze spada u jednu od najčešćih ozljedama koljenog zgloba. Prednja ukrižena sveza jedna je od glavnih stabilizatora koljenog zgloba, stoga je pravilno liječenje rupture presudno za njegovo izliječenje. Cilj ovog rada je ispitati postoji li razlika u funkcionalnom oporavku (fleksija, ekstenzija i oteklina zgloba) nakon operacije prednje ukrižene sveze dvama različitim pristupima (ST/GT ili BPTB graft), u srednjoj fazi rehabilitacije, od 4-8 tjedna od operacije. Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom srpnja 2023. godine u Klinici za ortopediju Lovran. Podaci su prikupljani uvidom u fizioterapeutske kartone pacijenata kojima je učinjena rekonstrukcija prednje ukrižene sveze. Ukupni broj ispitanika je 60, a podijeljeni su u dvije skupine. Skupina ispitanika operirana korištenjem BPTB graft i druga skupina operirana korištenjem ST/GT grafta. Rezultati: Istraživanje je pokazalo kako nema statistički značajne razlike u opsegu pokreta fleksije(p=0,05) i ekstenzije (p=0,09) nakon rekonstrukcije prednje ukrižene sveze dvama različitim pristupima te u cirkumferenciji preko koljenog zgloba (p=0,39) Rasprava: Ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u funkcionalnom oporavku nakon rekonstrukcije prednje ukrižene sveze s obzirom na dva operacijska pristupa. U srednjim fazama rehabilitacije u funkcionalnom smislu između graftova nema razlike, te obje metode daju podjednak rezultat.

To compare the presence of facets to parents’ reports on bruxism and their opinion on the importance to health of bruxism and snoring. Materials and Method: The sample (n=90) consisted of 5- and 10-year-old children. Their parents/ guardians were asked to complete a structured questionnaire on bruxism and snoring. Children’s degrees of dental wear on primary incisors, canines and molars were identified and recorded. The data were analyzed statistically. Results: The relative risk of wear between PG and RG was 1.82. Bruxism and snoring were reported by 22.9% of the parents/guardians of 5-year-olds and 8.8% of the parents/ guardians of 10-year-olds. In 10-year-olds, significant differences were found between RG and PG for canine wear degree 3 (p=0.01). Conclusions: Children from highly demanding schools presented more dental wear. Higher frequency of severe dental wear was observed in primary canines and molars late in the tooth replacement period regardless of whether sleep bruxism was reported. Parents/guardians from different social conditions considered that bruxism and snoring are important to health to similar degrees.

Authors: Hansakali Whisper , Mwange Austin
Published: October 2024

This study examines the convergence of sustainable finance and green financing theories in addressing global nutrition challenges, with a focus on the dual issues of environmental degradation and malnutrition. By using a new theoretical framework, the study shows how financial tools usually used for environmental projects, like green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and environmental impact investments, can be used to help with global nutrition initiatives. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Theory anchors the framework, emphasizing the convergence of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and economic viability in boosting food security. Additionally, the study draws upon the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and the Polluter Pays Principle (PPP) to elucidate how green financing can simultaneously mitigate malnutrition and preserve ecosystems. The study underscores the theoretical implications of applying green finance to nutrition projects, examining both the advantages and challenges, particularly in developing countries where resource constraints and environmental degradation are more acute. The study also identifies key risks associated with green financing, including political, regulatory, and currency risks, and proposes strategies for managing these risks. Furthermore, the study provides insights into future research directions, exploring the role of impact investors and the application of digital finance innovations, such as blockchain, in enhancing the efficacy of green financing for nutrition projects.

A crise migratória e suas consequências expõe inúmeras situações que precisam ser analisadas. O artigo propõe-se a uma reflexão crítica sobre o direito fundamental de acesso à Educação Técnica e Profissionalizante para jovens em situação de refúgio no Brasil. A educação tem relevante papel no contexto da inclusão do jovem refugiado. No Brasil a Educação Básica é obrigatória para pessoas entre 15 e 17 anos, como também, a oferta por parte do Poder público. A Educação Técnica e Profissionalizante integrada ao Ensino Médio, entretanto, é optativa. Defende-se que não o seja para o jovem refugiado. Para a análise proposta, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa, na perspectiva dialética, para defender o dever de se ofertar acesso à Educação Profissionalizante aos jovens refugiados. À luz da CF/88 e leis complementares como o Estatuto da Juventude, o jovem refugiado tem direito fundamental à educação, especialmente cursos de formação técnica e profissionalizante considerando-se que esta formação é fundamental para o acesso a emprego digno no mercado de trabalho brasileiro.

Health care beyond worldwide boundaries is a critical problem, particularly when the population differs in terms of geographic position, culture, habits, socioeconomic background, medical strategy, and variations in disease burden over time. For countries like India, with a significant percentage of high-end medical experts as well as support and other health care systems, the development and integration of comprehensive and functionally versatile health care management systems are among the most important clinical problems addressed. The central dogma of a country that facilitates adopting a conglomeration will create a dedicated population to provide tailor-made health care in health shield, health protection, and health care delivery; a nation that takes care of a nation. Until now, it has given us E-Health, and offerings have been fine-tuned in research literature. In India, the health care domain is currently breaking the boundaries of knowledge workers in clinical and research domains working with the help of these workhorses (Fletcher-Brown et al. 2021). Many e-governance and public health reform programs in India are under consideration, and many of them are under implementation. This research focuses more on the integration of health care technology relevant to the paper topic within clinical setups, passive provision, and utilization of services for administrative purposes technologically implemented (Das et al. 2023).
