PandeMEME. Digitales Storytelling in Corona-Memes als Seismograf soziokultureller Konflikte
Authors: Niebling Laura , Trummer Manuel
Published: May 2024

Der Beitrag des Kulturwissenschaftlers Manuel Trummer und der Medienwissenschaftlerin Laura Niebling richtet seinen Fokus auf eine Form des humoristischen Kommentars, die im Kontext digitaler Erzählstrategien zentral ist: Memes. Als Medium digitalen Erzählens verstanden, bieten sie die Chance, weiterreichende gesellschaftliche Konflikte und Ängste offenzulegen. Er reflektiert Humor als eine zentrale kulturelle Strategie um in Phasen beschleunigter alltagskultureller Transformation Katastrophen, Ängste und Bedrohungen zu bewältigen. Denn die exponentielle Ausbreitung des Virus sah sich zunächst flankiert von einem vielstimmigen Storytelling, das den Alltag in der Krise ironisch, zynisch, mal mehr, mal weniger witzig kommentiert und dabei ältere Erzählmotive zu Krankheiten und Epidemien einem medialen Update unterzieht. Dies geschah häufig in kleinen Bilderzählungen, die in den digitalen Kulturen erstellt werden und zirkulieren. Als »lingua franca« (Milner) der Netzkulturen sind Memes damit ein wichtiger Seismograf für soziokulturelle Konflikte und werden in diesem Zusammenhang in dem Beitrag eingehender diskutiert.
Dancing »Typhoid Mary« - zum Corona-Beat
Authors: Schläpfer Dave
Published: May 2024

Dave Schläpfer befasst sich in diesem Beitrag mit dem Phänomen, dass mit dem Aufkommen von Covid-19 die Reaktivierung alter Wissensbestände einhergeht - so war länderübergreifend plötzlich wieder markant häufiger von »Typhoid Mary« die Rede. Auch die Stunde alternativer Bands schlug: Zeitnah entstanden Erzeugnisse, die auf den historischen Fall der »Typhoid Mary« - der Übername für eine selbst immune Typhus-Überträgerin im New York des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts - oder andere damit stärker oder schwächer zusammenhängende Kontexte referieren und diese Elemente teils konkret mit Corona verknüpfen. Mit der Materialisation als Songs werden die Erzählungen im Feld von Pandemie und Ansteckung körperlich unmittelbar fühl- und erfahrbar.

Rethinking the Model and Modeling
Authors: Benz Maximilian
Published: May 2024

In this paper, modeling is used as a historiographic technique to fill gaps in historical semantics and to describe historical change. The aim is to understand how the treatise "De imitatione Christi", written by Thomas a Kempis, was received. In order to reconstruct the model that mediated between the general whole of the underlying concept and the individual case of action, the recourse to practices of comparing is instructive. Changes in the conception of "imitatio Christi" can be described in this way, although from a historical perspective no semantics or concepts are available for the initiated changes. Of essential importance is the transition of a self-comparison with Christ to a process of ethical subjectivity, which can also be reconstructed as a practice of comparing, but in which the structure of comparison has changed significantly.
A Contingency-sensitive Theory of Global Change
Authors: Epple Angelika
Published: May 2024

Angelika Epple outlines why the theory of history should do without historical telos and argues that historical conceptions should understand the intentionality of human action as the starting point for historical change. Epple indicates that practice theory can integrate the inconsistencies between the intentionality of human action and the contingency of historical events. Such an approach, Epple argues, has the potential to lead to a new understanding of global change as a contradictory process. The paper's conclusion reveals that certain practices prove to be particularly suited to intensify global change: the practices of comparison.
Praxeologische Überlegungen zum Vorwurf des Ungelesenen
Authors: Schruhl Friederike
Published: May 2024

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Vorwurf des Ungelesenen als Konstituens (literatur-)wissenschaftlicher Arbeit unter einer praxeologischen Perspektive porträtiert und als Resultat einer impliziten Vergleichsoperation vorgestellt. Hierfür wird zunächst argumentiert, dass sich der Vorwurf des Ungelesenen nur vor dem Hintergrund einer paradoxalen Konstellation angemessen verstehen lässt: Zu reflektieren ist einerseits, dass der Vorwurf des Ungelesenen durch die Norm der integralen Lektüre informiert ist; andererseits gilt es in Rechnung zu stellen, dass angesichts der Fülle an (potenziell) einschlägiger Literatur vieles ungelesen bleiben muss. Um den Vorwurf zu erheben, aber auch um ihn (präventiv) zu entkräften, vergleichen (Literatur-)Wissenschaftler*innen ihre Lektüre mit den Lektüreerwartungen der (imaginierten) epistemischen Gemeinschaft und selektieren ihre Lesemodi entsprechend. Durch die Kombination unterschiedlicher Lesemodi wird es möglich, mit der strukturellen Überforderungssituation umzugehen und nicht nur das Gelesene, sondern vor allem auch das Ungelesene zu verwalten.

The rights for enrolling the land onwed is an ordinary enrollment activity held by BPN in the effort to guarantee the assurance of law of the land owned. Government rules No.24 year 1997 obliged the society to enroll the passing rights due to inheritaged in order to give law protection to the beneficiary and to make the administration activity in order so that the saved and published data are always up dated.  Chapter 111 verse (1) the rules made by Minister of Agraria/Head of BPN No. 3 year 1997 about the action for the government rule no.24/1997 arranges that the application for passing rights of land owned or house owned or apartment is enclosed with the proof of legal beneficiary letter.. Based on this rule, the making of the beneficiary proof is determined by the ethnic, the form as well as the officer who made, is for Indonesian citizen, the letter of beneficiary made by the legal beneficiary is made by the local authorities namely the head of the village (kelurahan) and head of district (camat) when the inheritor died, and for Tionghoa, the certificate for the beneficiary right for the land owned is made by the noctary and for the foreign east ethnic, the certificate is made by the Balai Harta Peninggalan.The Rules above do not match accordingly with some rules that are higher in hierarchy namely UUD 1945, UUPA, UU No.12 year 2006 and UU No.26 year 2006. Those rules do not differ the Indonesian citizen.The way to overcome the obstacle is conducting a survey using yuridiction emphirical methode. The study specification is analytical descriptive in nature, the data are collected through the primary and secondary data and then are analyzed qualitatively.The different citizen is an inheritage from the Dutch Colonial that differs the citizen into three social classes namely foreign east society (Tionghoa and non Tionghoa) and   Indonesian natives based on the chapter 131 juncto chapter 163 from IS. The rules caused each social class has their own inheritaged law and made them obey their own law. The inheritaged pluralism law caused the making of the ethnic based inheritaged law. The reorientation for the arrangement of inheritaged law is needed to be unified for the function and purpose.Kata Kunci : Social Classes, Land Enrollment, Inheritaged lawPermalink : http://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/notarius/article/view/1129

ANALISIS PELAKSANAAN SISTEM BAGI HASIL DALAM AKAD PEMBIAYAAN DI PERBANKAN SYARI’AH
Authors: Chandra W. Hj. Eka
Published: May 2024

Sistem bagi hasil merupakan karakteristik umum dan landasan dasar operasional bank syariah secara keseluruhan, secara prinsip dalam perbankan syariah yang paling banyak dipakai adalah akad utama al-mudhorobah dan al-musyarokah, prinsip ini merupakan sistem yang menggantikan mekanis me penolakan atas bunga. Permasalahan yang diangkat adalah bagaimana ketentuan dari sistem bagi hasil, bagaimana Pelaksanaan sistem bagi hasil dalam akad pembiayaan di Perbankan Syariah, serta apakah hambatan dari pelaksanaan sistem bagi hasil dan bagaimana solusinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis empiris, karena penelitian ini menggunakan data primer berupa penelitian lapangan  dan data sekunder berupa penelitian kepustakaan guna menganalisis hubungan hukum atau peraturan dengan pelaksanaan sistem bagi hasil dalam akad pembiayaan pada bank syariah. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif kwalitatif, data yang diperoleh dari perpustakaan kemudian dianalisis dengan prakteknya. Hasil penelitian produk syariah dengan sistem bagi hasil seperti mudharabah dan musyarakah pada kenyataannya bukanlah merupakan produk syariah unggulan, walaupun sebenarnya sistem bagi hasil ini merupakan karakteristik dari perbankan syariah itu sendiri, dalam praktek ketentuan sistem bagi hasil ini belum dapat dilaksanakan secara maksimal dan masih banyak mengalami hambatan menyangkut persepsi masyarakat yang belum maksimal tentang sistem bagi hasil itu sendiri. Sehingga sistem ini belum dapat diterapkan secara maksimal dan mampu meningkatkan produktivitas, pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional.
ASPEK HUKUM KARYA SINEMATOGRAFI TERHADAP HAK CIPTA
Authors: Rizqiya Rijae Amani
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan menganalisa bagaimana proses terjadinya Hak Cipta pada suatu Karya Sinematografi menurut Undang-undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2002 Tentang Hak Cipta dan penegakan hukum atas pelanggaran Hak Cipta suatu karya sinematografi. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif yaitu pendekatan dari segi peraturan perundang-undangan dan norma-norma hukum sesuai dengan permasalahan yang ada. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer  diperoleh melalui informan dan situasi sosial tertentu yang dipilih secara purposive (sesuai dengan maksud penelitian). Data primer merupakan data utama, sedangkan data sekunder digunakan untuk mendukung data primer. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah melalui studi pustaka. Berdasarkan penelitian ini diperoleh hasil bahwa proses terjadinya hak cipta atas suatu karya sinematografi diawali dari Tahap Pra-Produksi, Tahap Produksi dan Tahap Pasca Produksi yang melibatkan beberapa ciptaan audio dan visual dengan menggunakan berbagai macam teknologi dan teknik sinema. Penegakan hukum atas pelanggaran hak cipta karya sinematografi, belum secara jelas diatur, hal ini disebabkan budaya hukum masyarakat Indonesia yang kurang memberikan penghargaan terhadap para pencipta dan karya ciptaannya dan kurangnya kemauan (political will) dari para aparat penegak hukum, sehingga perlu evaluasi terhadap keberadaan peraturan perundang-undangan hak cipta, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan hak cipta karya sinematografi.

Story-Based and Bottom-Up Accountability With Children Who Have Experienced Trauma: Practices That Focus on Response
Authors: Moss Daniel
Published: May 2024

Narrative and systemic therapists emphasize the context of children's stories while helping them to connect their actions, emotions and meaning making. Rather than only diagnosing and correcting the effects of trauma on the child's body and brain, narrative and systemic therapists help children to describe their responses to experiences of trauma. Therapists are challenged to operate within institutions that impose corrective accountability imperatives on children. Therapy can become accountable to educational, social, or legal institutions that require the child's conformity and co-operation. This article examines therapy that recruits children as co-researchers in the meaning-making of their life's experiences, including both the effects and their responses to experiences of trauma. In this way, therapists are accountable to a fascination with what is not yet known, rather than to the reproduction of dominant discourses of correction.
A Child-Parent Psychotherapy Case Vignette With Discussion From an Antiracist Perspective
Authors: Wilson Megan , Rhee Jess , Haughton Natasha , Maynard Patricia , Robinson-Wood Tracy L.
Published: May 2024

This article explores a case vignette of a child with complex trauma from an antiracist perspective, in the transforming spirit of family therapy as referenced in the Galveston Declaration. The case presents a boy within child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), a model that centers intergenerational attachment, trauma transmission, and play therapy. Through examination of the therapist's tolerance for integrating racism and its nuanced impact on the child's mental health presentation, we come to central assertions that improve the quality of care for all treatment relationships. We assert that families and children will receive higher quality mental health care when providers (1) acknowledge the ubiquity of racism on all people, (2) name their internalized racial reactions, (3) recognize the unique realities of racism in Black clients’ lives, (4) choose to use their power in the service of the client, and (5) create trust for dialogue about the impact of racism on the client.

Cloud as an Alternative Architecture
Authors: Jia Ruo
Published: May 2024

This paper argues for the absenting presence of an embodied theoretical architecture of materialist harmonious dialectic in Hubert Damisch’s engagement with Chinese art and architecture around the cloud. This connects with recent media studies discourse where environment both conditions and is being with an alternative architecture that is different from a centralized elevated arche. At the same time, the essay positively explores the decolonizing structural potential for displacing Eurocentrism and idealism in the making of theory and art and architecture history by opening up to global collaborative knowledge formation and reconnecting theory with practice.
Kudzu: An invasive plant or a sustainable resource
Authors: Zhang Shengrong , Zhang Qi , Guo Xin , Zhu Shengdong
Published: May 2024

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi) is a fast growing leguminous vine plant that has strong reproductive ability and low requirements on its growing conditions. It has been considered an invasive plant in some places because of its aggressive growth, which can destroy the habitat for native plants and animals. However, its strong environmental adaptability makes it easily cultivated as a sustainable resource. Kudzu can also keep soil from washing away and play an important role in ecological protection. Kudzu has had numerous practical uses in our daily lives since ancient times. For example, its root, stem, flower and pod are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Its root is a healthy food. And its leaf is used as fodder and forage for livestock. Moreover, some recent studies on kudzu have found that it is in rich of bioactive ingredients, especially isoflavones, which further broadens its uses in medicine, healthy food, and cosmetics industries. Its high starch and cellulose content makes it a promising feedstock for biofuel production and paper preparation. This editorial will give a brief discussion on kudzu and its comprehensive utilization.
Artists, papermakers, and the future
Authors: Hubbe Martin A.
Published: May 2024

This editorial considers three groups of individuals and how they often find themselves following common ways of thinking. Artists, especially those who become well known, are hard workers and somewhat stubborn. Once they have found a type of paper that works well for them, they tend to develop loyalty to it, regardless of what the label on the ream wrap may say. Papermakers, ancient and modern, likewise have tended to stick with practices that are convenient to them at the moment, whether or not they contribute to archival quality. Fortunately, the transition to alkaline papermaking practices means that modern printing papers tend to last a lot longer. Increasing knowledge of the importance of acid-free paper, as well as the principles of sustainability, are making positive contributions to our ongoing cultural heritage, at least to the part of that heritage that is related to cellulosic materials.
Чи є місце доменній печі в умовах Європейського зеленого курсу?
Authors: Меркулов Олексій Євгенович
Published: May 2024

Автору неодноразово доводилося стикатися з критикою технології відновлення залізорудних матеріалів у доменних печах для отримання чавуну з подальшим його конвертуванням у сталь. Найчастіше її недоліками називають неекологічність, застарілість і як аргумент наводять необхідність ліквідації доменного виробництва в Україні. Причому про цю технологію висловлюються зі зневажливістю не лише представники громадськості, а й фахівці-металурги. З прийняттям курсу на декарбонізацію металургійного виробництва таке негативне ставлення лише посилилося. У статті зроблено спробу привернути увагу до унікальності й переваг доменної плавки, її ефективності, багатофункціональності та обґрунтувати доцільність збереження і розвитку цієї технології в умовах «зеленого» курсу.

Neonatal Osteomyelitis
Authors: Gajagowni Saivaroon , Padhye Amruta
Published: May 2024

Osteomyelitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition affecting the skeletal system of newborns. The condition is relatively rare in neonates but occurs at higher rates in high-risk pregnancies, in preterm infants, and with the use of invasive devices. As a result of the anatomy and immature immune system of newborns, neonates differ in presentation, diagnosis, and management of osteomyelitis compared to patients of other age groups. An understanding of these differences will assist clinicians in the prompt diagnosis and management of this neonatal infection and lead to improved long-term outcomes.

The Effect of Bank Performance and Macroeconomics on the Profitability of Indonesian Sharia Commercial Banks
Authors: Amin Sakinah Maulidah Mastniah , Jaya Tiara Juliana
Published: May 2024

This study examines the relationship between the profitability of Islamic commercial banks with the functions of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Operating Expenses and Operating Income (BOPO), inflation, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and interest rates. This quantitative study's monthly report of Islamic banking and the monthly report of statistical data for 2015-2022 are secondary data sources. A method used is called multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of research, CAR and NPF are significantly related to the profitability of Islamic commercial banks. In contrast, the results of BOPO, GDP, inflation, and interest rates have no significant relationship with Islamic commercial banks. ROA simultaneously affects CAR, NPF, BOPO, inflation, GDP, and interest rates. Based on the conclusions of this study. If Islamic banks want to maximize their profitability, they must maintain capital efficiency and stabilize non-performing financing and operational ratios.
Strategies for Improving the Economy of Creative MSMEs Communities in Bamboo Crafts in Binjai City from an Islamic Economic Perspective
Authors: Nurulita Anggia , Nurbaiti Nurbaiti , Harahap Muhammad Ikhsan
Published: May 2024

In developing countries, MSMEs represent the largest economic sector capable of absorbing a significant proportion of the labor force. Currently, MSMEs are driven by a wave of creative economy that transforms natural resources that have no economic value into high-value products. As a result, people's income increases due to this economic activity. One of the creative MSMEs, the bamboo craft industry in Binjai city, is known as the center of the bamboo craft industry. However, the overall income of MSME players in the area has not shown a significant increase. This research aims to analyze the business strategies used and view them from an Islamic economic perspective. The research method is qualitative research with a SWOT analysis. Primary data was obtained from 10 bamboo craft MSME players in Binjai, while secondary data came from scientific publications and BPS of Binjai city. The results indicated that the business strategy employed by bamboo craft MSMEs in Binjai City is consistent with Islamic economic principles. The strategy derived from the SWOT analysis is the SO strategy, which focuses on capitalizing on market opportunities and optimizing strengths for product development. This research offers insights into how the creative economy can drive MSMEs and enhance community income, as well as how business strategies can be aligned with Islamic economic values to achieve sustainable success.

Bibliometric analysis of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Wang Jing , Chen Xiaona , Yuan Min
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of literature on the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to explore its research status, hotspots, and development trends, providing ideas and references for further research.
Method: We screened literature for treating IBD with TCM from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), and used the VOSviewer software (1.6.18) to discover cooperation among countries, institutions, authors, and information on journals, keywords, etc. We use the CiteSpace software (6.2.R2) to analyze co-citation and burst discovery of references.
Results: In all, 440 relevant literature papers were searched and screened from the WOSCC database. The results showed that the number of publications concerning treating IBD with TCM has shown a significant growth in the past decade. China is far ahead in terms of article output, occupying a dominant position. The institution with the most published articles is Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The authors who have published most of the articles are Dai Yancheng, Shi Rui, and Zhou Lian. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology published maximum articles in this field, while Gastroenterology was the most cited journal. Ungaro et al.’s article entitled “Ulcerative colitis” (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(16)32126-2), published in The Lancet in 2017 was the most cited study. The high-frequency keywords mainly include ulcerative colitis, inflammation, NF-κB, expression, traditional Chinese medicine, gut microbiota, activation, mice, cells, etc.
Conclusions: The research heat for treating IBD with TCM has risen over the past decade, with studies focusing on three main aspects: clinical studies of TCM, basic pharmacology, and animal experimental research. The research hotspot shifted from pathogenesis, clinical study of TCM, basic pharmacology, and complementary therapies to the study of network pharmacology and the mechanism of action of TCM related to gut microbiota. Network pharmacology and gut microbiota are at the frontiers of research and turning to be the future research trends to provide new insights and ideas for further research for treating IBD with TCM.

FOREST FIRE HAZARD MAPPING IN BHUTAN
Authors: Gurung Lily , Thapa Monika , Adhikari Kirtan
Published: May 2024

The study intends to assimilate data for assessing fire hazards for the forest areas in Bhutan. Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in fire events and forest fires have made it urgent to research this issue. Bhutan documented 1,403 occurrences of forest fires in less than ten years (Kuensel, 11th Jan. 2020). Many fossil fuels are burned during forest fires, and a significant amount of carbon dioxide is produced, which adds to the most prevalent greenhouse gas and changes for the regional climate. Moreover, studies have indicated that one of the influential elements contributing to forest fires is climate change. The goal of this research is to consolidate all datasets from multiple sources onto a single GIS platform for the creation of maps that take climatic conditions into account while calculating forest fire hazard. To lessen the risk of forest fires, recommendations and adaptation methods are offered in this paper. In particular, the Department of Forest and Park Services in Bhutan can benefit from the findings of this research for the development, planning, and implementation works.
Entre la informalidad y la inseguridad: nuevas dinámicas alimentarias y comerciales en el mercado San Roque de Quito
Authors: Rojas-Galindo Mariuxi Paola , Unda-Padilla Mauricio Javier , Pacheco Andrea
Published: May 2024

A raíz de la covid-19 se dieron nuevas dinámicas en muchos sistemas urbanos entre las que destaca la de adquisición y distribución de alimentos. La pandemia mostró la vulnerabilidad en el funcionamiento de equipamientos e intensificó problemáticas como la informalidad, la inseguridad y la inmigración. Con el objetivo de aportar a la identificación y caracterización de estas dinámicas dentro de los mercados de alimentos, para el presente artículo se adoptó una metodología de caso de estudio con técnicas mixtas: cuantitativas por medio de una encuesta y cualitativas a partir de un grupo focal. Ambas técnicas se aplicaron en el mercado San Roque en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, equipamiento icónico en cuanto a la comercialización y distribución de alimentos. En los resultados sobresalen las nuevas dinámicas y preferencias comerciales, ya que en los últimos años han proliferado el comercio informal y la presencia de cadenas de supermercados, se han creado nuevos medios logísticos y se ha intensificado el comercio mayorista. Además, la pandemia acentuó la vulnerabilidad del mercado a nivel administrativo y la precarización de algunos trabajos informales, a su vez, aceleró un cambio entre el grupo de comerciantes. Se concluye que estas dinámicas ameritan nuevas aproximaciones conceptuales, organizativas y espaciales a escala arquitectónica y urbana, y también distintas políticas que favorezcan la gestión sostenible de los mercados.
The Provision of Agricultural Extension Services to Rural Farmers as a Strategy to Improve Agricultural Practices in South Africa
Authors: Mbatha M.W.
Published: May 2024

The government of South Africa has shown a commitment to providing extensive support to farmers by providing agricultural extension services. This qualitative study on providing agricultural extension services to rural farmers to improve agricultural productivity was conducted in Msinga Local Municipality. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Participants were sampled purposively, and data was analysed using content analysis. The agricultural extension officers played an important role in helping farmers with the provision of extension services, including seeds, manure, and the implementation of irrigation schemes and farm fencing. The extension services also included training and assisting farmers with vaccinating crops and livestock to protect them from diseases. Rural farmers were unable to attend training sessions and meetings organised by extension officers, and this has turned out to be a problem since farmers lack knowledge of farming methods and available information on possible financial assistance. There is a need to establish agricultural cooperatives that will liaise with agricultural extension officers and be able to communicate with other farmers when the officials are planning to meet with them for the provision of extension services.
ICT Education and Determinants of Acceptance Amongst Smallholder Farmers in Mbombela, South Africa
Authors: Agholor A.I. , Nkambule T.B. , Olorunfemi O.D. , Mcata B.
Published: May 2024

The study was carried out in Mbombela District, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The study aimed to assess selected farmers' acceptance of information and communication technology (ICTs). The study used a quantitative approach. Probability sampling was used as a quantitative approach. Random sampling was used, and 285 samples were sampled from a sampling frame of 380 farmers in the study area. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires were used to elicit necessary information from respondents, while focus group discussions were employed to validate in-depth responses. The binary logistics regression was used to determine significant variables that influence the acceptance of ICT. The results showed that the most accessible ICT tools to farmers were radio, mobile phones, and television. However, contemporary ICT tools such as the internet and flash drives were rarely accessible to the respondents. The study also found that demographic variables such as age (P< 0.000), level of education (P< 0.020), household size (P< 0.053), ICT support (P< 0.014) and extension services ( P< 0.019) were the explanatory variables that affect the acceptance of ICT. Logistics regression results reveal that some variables were significant and positively related to the acceptance of ICT. The paper concludes that the effective application of ICT provides farmers with greater access to information and knowledge, which helps improve their production process.

Vegetable farmers are faced with computational and informational restrictions when making marketing decisions. Fresh produce markets in South Africa lack an efficient approach to supply chain management, from the farmers to the consumers. Improving market access can incentivise smallholder farmers to scale up their production. The present paper investigates factors influencing smallholder vegetable farmers' choice of market channels in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. A structured questionnaire and a multi-stage sampling technique were used to select 149 vegetable farmers. Multivariate probit regression and descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The results show that most sampled vegetable farmers in the study area sell their vegetable produce to traditional, wholesale, and retail outlets compared to other outlets. The study found that vegetable farmers can substitute one market with the other. Various socio-economic characteristics, transaction costs, asset ownership, membership of farm organisations, and access to extension services influence the selection choice. The study recommends intensive education and training to capacitate smallholder farmers through extension officers and farm organisations to enable farmers to understand and meet the requirements of high-value markets.

This study examined the impact of government funding on food security for subsistence farming, communities, households, and smallholder farmers in Frances Baard Municipality. Food insecurity has been a global phenomenon that has been on the increase since 2015, and it is thought to be a result of growing conflict, pandemic, and climate-related shocks. The analysis methods employed in this study were mainly cluster and discriminant analysis (DA). Simple random sampling techniques were used to select 533 farmers. The cluster analysis results reveal that Land Redistribution for Agricultural Development (LRAD) occupies the highest rank, followed by a Poverty Relief Programme and Land Restitution programme. In contrast, discriminant analysis (DA) results show that an Agricultural Starter Pack Programme is highly likely to increase the impact of food security in households when other interventions are held constant. The study concludes that to improve the food security of the Frances Baard Municipal District, the government should consistently improve the performance of these programmes. To improve the performance of these programmes, it is therefore recommended that the following programmes be resourced: the Agricultural Starter Pack Programme, Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP), Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP), Poverty Relief Programme (PRP), and Food Parcel Scheme (FPS).

Introducción: El virus chikungunya (CHIKV) causa una enfermedad con manifestaciones agudas bien documentadas, pero existen pocos datos sobre la persistencia de síntomas y secuelas a largo plazo. Objetivos: Evaluar la persistencia de signos, síntomas y factores asociados en pacientes con infección por CHIKV en un seguimiento de 6 meses posinfección. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de cohorte ambispectivo que incluyó casos confirmados de CHIKV notificados en abril de 2023 en Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay. Se realizaron entrevistas al mes, a los tres meses y a los 6 meses posinfección. Se analizaron características demográficas, comorbilidades, manifestaciones reumáticas y sintomáticas. Resultados: Ingresaron 333 participantes, completando seguimiento a 6 meses 170 pacientes. A los 6 meses persistieron: dolor de espalda (61.2%), artritis (57.1%), cefalea (54.1%), fatiga (51.2%), mialgia (49.4%), debilidad (47.6%), depresión (45.9%) y artralgia (45.9%). La persistencia de artritis (OR 7.54; p=0.008) y mialgia (OR 3.24; p=0.031) a 6 meses fue mayor en el grupo de 36-45 años. Conclusiones: Alta persistencia de síntomas musculoesqueléticos y fatiga hasta 6 meses posinfección, con tendencia decreciente, pero exacerbación de depresión. Edad entre 36-45 años asociada a mayor persistencia. Se requieren protocolos de seguimiento integral, investigar mecanismos fisiopatológicos y fortalecer prevención, dado el impacto individual y socioeconómico de la enfermedad.

Introducción: La apendicitis aguda, definida como la inflamación del apéndice vermiforme, es la causa más frecuente de abdomen agudo quirúrgico y es la patología aguda quirúrgica más común en la infancia y en el niño mayor. Objetivo: Determinar las características clínicas de niños con apendicitis aguda que acuden al Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Regional de Pilar durante el periodo 2020 al 2023. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo, retrospectivo, de corte transversal en pacientes pediátricos que acuden al servicio de urgencias del Hospital Regional de Pilar. Incluyó pacientes de 4 a 15 años que acudieron al servicio de urgencias por cuadro de dolor abdominal agudo durante el periodo enero 2020 a julio 2023. Resultados: Se realizaron 80 apendicetomías en niños de 4 a 15 años, la media de edad fue 11±3años; predominó el sexo femenino en el 34,4%; el principal motivo de consulta fue dolor abdominal más vómitos con un tiempo promedio de evolución de 29,6±22horas; se presentó signo de defensa muscular en el 77,5%; la característica apendicular predominante fue flegmonosa en el 51,3%; el tiempo promedio de estancia hospitalaria fue de 3±1,2días y el 71,3% de los niños no presentó complicación aguda. Conclusión: El conocimiento de las características clínicas de la apendicitis aguda resultan de suma importancia para el médico en el Servicio de Urgencias para un diagnóstico precoz y; por ende, una apendicetomía temprana minimizando tanto las tazas de complicaciones intraoperatorias como posoperatorias.

Background: The code blue is a universal emergency system used to alert the CB team for patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest. The purpose of this study is to evaluate CB calls in our hospital and determine the effectiveness and deficiencies of the application.
Methods: After receiving approval from the ethics committee, we analyzed retrospectively the CB call forms in our hospital between January 2020 and January 2024. The demographic data of the patients, CB call time and locations, the arrival time of the team, medical interventions, cardiopulmonary resuscitation time, outcomes of the calls and true-false calls rate were recorded.
Results: We had 376 CB calls in the study period. The mean arrival time of the team was1.58±0.62 minutes. Most of the CB calls were given in intensive care units (140 patients, 37.23%), internal medicine services (50 patients, 13.30%), followed by palliative care unit (47 patients, 12.50%). Most of the CB calls (236 calls, 62.77%) were during off times. The rate of false CB calls was found to be %15.96. Of the 316 patients in the true CB codes, 198 patients were transferred to the ICU and 118 patients died.
Conclusions: We found that CB calls were most frequently given from ICU’s during off hours. We think that the lack of a night duty doctor in the ICU, especially in rural hospitals like ours, led to this result. Each center should analyze CB calls at regular intervals and educational programs should be planned for these deficiencies.
Admission, outcome and referral pattern of admitted neonates: a cross-sectional descriptive study at selected district hospital SNCUs in Odisha
Authors: Sahu Smitamayee , Subbarayalu Yayathee
Published: May 2024

Background: The state of Odisha is one of the leading states in the country for infant mortality in India. Odisha has established 44 special neonatal care units (SNCUs) to improve neonatal survival. The study aims to assess the morbidity, mortality, and referral trends to develop targeted suggestions to lower newborn deaths.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive retrospective study on all admitted neonates, taking the secondary data from 8 SNCUs of District Hospitals in the State of Odisha for the period of 3 calendar years (2020-2022). We profiled the type of admission, age, gender, birth weight, admission indication, maturity, mortality profile and referral. Data was extracted in Excel 2021 and analyzed using Excel and Epi info.
Results: Of the 43050 neonates admitted to the SNCU, 21069 (49%) were inborn. There were 58% male neonates. (59%, n=29401) were low birth weight neonates (<2500 gms); out of that, 869 babies (2%) were below 1000 gm. The median duration of stay in the SNCUs was 4 days. Perinatal asphyxia (n=13093) constitutes 30% of the admissions, followed by neonatal jaundice (7561, 18%), low birth weight <1800 gm (5728, 13%), refusal to feed (4745, 11%), and prematurity (n=3888, 9%). 75% of the total were discharged, 11% were referred, 10% died, and 4% left the SNCU against medical advice. The primary reasons for mortality & referral were birth asphyxia, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), sepsis, and prematurity.
Conclusion: Birth asphyxia is the primary cause of morbidity, mortality, and referral in newborns. Early referrals, effective intervention, and high-quality prenatal care are essential to prevent it.
