Some experts in the United Kingdom mention that the homeless are children who have emotional disorders. In this research discussed how a person's self-identity inhibits the development of his emotions. There are three aspects that need to be explored related to one that is inherent in a person and his environment. These three aspects are ego, an identity that shows its existence in the outside world. and social identity in the solidarity of a person in line with the ideals of a group. As for the research related to the homeless how a homeless person or adolescent can carry out his duties as a person and social, of course this is related to the identity and social of homeless adolescents. The child's self-identity is formed through the development of stable and good emotions and social. Of course, the environment also greatly affects the process. The development of children's emotions and social in forming self-identity together also forms a good understanding of children's lives. Therefore, the need for religious education to form an understanding of life that will be realized in the behaviour of children. The results of this study showed that there is a change in behaviour and emotions in children with disabilities with the granting of religious guidance to children with disabilities.

Polyamide is one of the materials in 3D printing that can produce valuable products to meet the needs of the industry. Previous studies have proven that the layer thickness of the 3D printed material and the increase in temperature affect the mechanical and physical properties. However, only a few studies involve polyamide material as a test material, especially in analyzing the influence of the layer thickness of the printed material and the increase in temperature on the mechanical and physical properties of polyamide. Therefore, the bending properties of polyamide with different layer thicknesses at 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm and the tensile properties of the material at different temperatures at room temperature, 75˚C and 110˚C will be studied. This study will involve polyamide (PA) materials printed at three different layer heights using the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process. Bending and tensile tests at different temperatures from 27˚C to 110˚C are conducted using the Instron Universal Testing Machine. The study results show that the layer height of 0.3 mm exhibits the highest flexural strength at an average rate of 11.05 MPa compared to 0.1 mm (6.7 MPa) and 0.2 mm (9.6 MPa). The tensile strength decreases when the temperature elevates, making the temperature of 110˚C have the lowest tensile value (1.591 MPa) compared to the temperature of 75˚C (1.6MPa) and 27˚C (2.1MPa). Several material characterizations such as SEM, TGA, DMA, DSC and density have been performed to study the microstructure and influence of tensile test temperature on the mechanical properties of polyamide.

Published: July 2024

Gendered ageism contributes to invisibility and homogenization of older women, harming their health, quality of life and limiting their social participation. Health issues related to aging have received increasing attention in the scientific literature. However, studies on aging that include a gender dimension or ethnic aspects remain scarce. This article presents the results of a systematic review on older women’s health and wellbeing, gender inequalities, age discrimination experienced by older women and their intersections with other forms of discrimination. Between January and February 2023, we conducted a literature review using PRISMA in the Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE and SciELO Citation Index. We selected 43 empirical studies from different countries focusing on women over 65 years. The findings show the incidence of discrimination and inequality in health care experienced by older women, ageist attitudes among health care providers and other professionals, experiences of abuse and gender-based violence among older women. Additionally, the study examines the impact of ageism and other forms of discrimination on the health of LGBTQ+ older people, ethnic minorities, older women with disabilities, and other non-traditional groups.

A Critical Look at Digital Media, the Intellectual Property Regime and Free Open Source Software
Authors: Alışkan Yılmaz
Published: July 2024

This article examines how the intellectual property regime works in digital media and how free open source software is pushing the boundaries of the regime on the digital realm. The main purpose of this article is to highlight the differences that models of knowledge production can make in the process of building a participatory society. This article uses Michael Gibbons' Mode 1 and Mode 2 theories as a method. In the light of this theory, power relations in the production and distribution of knowledge are discussed. The Mode 2 model points to a commons-based model of knowledge production that has a democratic potential. The intellectual property regime is struggling to control the flow of information on the internet. It is quite difficult for the intellectual property rights regime to control the circulation of knowledge on the Internet, as digital media play a key role in the free flow of knowledge. Free open source software is an effective model for those who support the free flow of information in the digital space.

The reliability function of the case-hardened teeth of wheels of cylindrical gears
Authors: Lebedev Sergey Y. , Syzrantsev Vladimir N.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Methods for calculating the load capacity and reliability of gears, accepted as standardized both at the national and international levels, are based on the laws of distribution of random variables, considered as the only possible ones, which is not entirely true. As a result, the developed gears have either overestimated or underestimated reliability, which leads to their low competitiveness. Therefore, the development of methods for assessing the reliability of the case-hardened gears, taking into account the actual laws of distribution of random variables, remains relevant, as it will make it possible to design competitive transmissions.
AIM: Improvement of the current approach to calculating the reliability function of case-hardened gears according to their strength performance criteria.
METHODS: The improved approach to calculating the reliability function is based on improved classical methods for testing the load capacity of cylindrical gears for contact and bending stresses (GOST 21354-87 and ISO 6336). The methodology for calculating the reliability function according to the criterion of deep contact durability is based on the Lebedev-Pisarenko criterion, the formulae of which have been modified for application to gears by V.I. Korotkin. The implementation of the proposed methods was carried out in MathCAD software.
RESULTS: The methods for calculating the reliability function of the case-hardened gears according to the criteria of contact and bending durability, which take into account the variable value of the misalignment in the gearing caused by the deformation of the shafts, the bearing rings and the housing (force misalignment), are proposed. In addition, the dependence of the calculation results of the reliability function of cylindrical gears on the method of setting the force misalignment in the gearing of teeth (constant or variable value) is shown. Validation of the improved approach was carried out using the data available in the scientific and technical literature on failures of the case-hardened gears. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the proposed method for calculating the reliability function of the case-hardened gears according to the criterion of deep contact durability, which performs the calculation under an unknown law of distribution of effective stresses using the Parzen-Rosenblatt method (the method is also used in methods for contact and bending durability criteria), as well as in taking into account the variable value of the force misalignment in the meshing.
CONCLUSION: The practical significance of the research lies in the ability of probabilistic determination of the cause of gear failure according to six criteria (pitting, tooth breakage, tooth interior flank fracture of both the pinion and the wheel), which makes it possible to adjust the design, the manufacturing technology, and the operating requirements in order to ensure the required gear performance during its design.

One of the most important healthcare tasks is to increase the satisfaction level of the population with the quality of medical care in medical organizations. Despite efforts to improve the quality of dental care, flaws in the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of teeth, marginal periodontal diseases, dental anomalies, and oral mucosa remain. The results of the analysis of domestic and foreign publications revealed the need to evaluate the population’s satisfaction with dental medical services depending on the influence of certain factors. Among factors affecting population satisfaction to the provision of high-quality medical dental services, the issues of service level expected by the patient when receiving dental care are significant. Thus, a program for assessing and monitoring the quality of dental care must be developed and introduced in medical organizations.

Morphological evaluation of obstetric hysterectomy specimen in females with postpartum hemorrhage
Authors: Chaturvedi Madhu , Shaikh Niha
Published: July 2024

Background: Obstetric hysterectomy (OH) is the removal of the uterus at the time of caesarean section, following vaginal delivery or within the puerperium period. Despite developments in the conservative medical &surgical management of OH, it remains a lifesaving technique for the management of persistent hemorrhage refractory to conservative control. Histopathological examination of the specimen is necessary as it determines the cause of OH and confirms the clinical and radiological indications.
Methods: This was cross-sectional observational study conducted from January 2017 to December 2022. It was conducted on 62 obstetric hysterectomy specimens.
Results: The proportion of OH was 6.05% out of a total 1024 hysterectomies. The age range of the study population was 20-45 years with a mean of 30.35±5.25 years. The trend towards OH increased with an increase in LSCS and it has been considered as an underlying high-risk factor for OH. The chief morphological abnormalities found were placenta accreta, placenta previa, placenta increta, placenta percreta, and retained placenta, followed by subinvolution. The radiological and morphological findings in 21 cases showed a statistically significant association.
Conclusions: Abnormal placentation is the predominant cause of obstetric hysterectomy. The association between the rising CS rate and incidence of obstetric hysterectomy with a history of CS is attributable mostly to the occurrence of morbidly adherent placenta/placenta increta These abnormalities are amenable to early diagnosis by imaging methods.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most frequently performed major surgical procedure in gynaecology. It is an efficacious treatment option for numerous gynaecological conditions. This study aimed to investigate the different routes of hysterectomies, such as abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopic, and their outcomes in benign gynaecological diseases in a tertiary care centre in Tamil Nadu.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 200 patients who were admitted to the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu, India underwent hysterectomy between January 2021 and January 2023, and were collected from the MRD. Patient history included age, parity, indication for surgery, duration of surgery, route of hysterectomy, intraoperative or postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay were collected.
Results: This study analysed 200 patients who underwent hysterectomy, with the majority aged between 40-50 years (60%) and multiparous women (85%). The most common indications were abnormal uterine bleeding (80%), uterine prolapse (12%), benign ovarian cyst (5%) and post-menopausal bleeding (3%). Total abdominal hysterectomy (49%) was the most common approach, followed by vaginal/non-descent hysterectomy (19.5%), total laparoscopic hysterectomy (16.5%), and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (15%). Complications included wound infections (3.5%), excessive bleeding (3%), bladder injuries (1%) and ureter injury (0.5%). The procedure duration and hospital stay were shorter for vaginal and laparoscopic approaches than for open abdominal hysterectomy. The laparoscopic approach had the lowest rates of complications such as bladder injuries and excessive bleeding.
Conclusions: Vaginal hysterectomy is preferred for uterine prolapse, whereas laparoscopic techniques offer benefits such as reduced blood loss and lesser hospital stay and morbidities. Although rare, complications emphasize the need for careful postoperative monitoring to optimize patient care.
Bacteriology and antibiotic sensitivity in gynaecological abdominal surgical site infections
Authors: Panda Sandhyasri , Lepakshi Sarepalli Sai Sindhura Puja
Published: July 2024

Background: Surgical site infection increases the rate of re hospitalisation, the use of health care, diagnostic, and therapeutic resources, and hospital costs. Severe sequelae may exacerbate primary and devastating infections. About 39-51% of pathogens causing surgical site infections were documented to be resistant to standard prophylactic antibiotics. This study aimed to calculate surgical site infection rate at our hospital. To identify the isolates causing surgical site infections and study anti-microbial susceptibility pattern of isolated organisms.
Methods: This observational study was done among patients who underwent abdominal gynaecological surgeries and who developed surgical site infection in department of obstetrics and gynaecology in Maharajahs institute of medical sciences during May 2022 to April 2024.
Results: Surgical site infection rate at our hospital is 18.29%, there are 30 surgical site infections, 76.7% cases are culture positive, 23.3% cases are sterile, 52.2% cases are gram negative, 47.8% are gram positive. Most common organism isolated is E. coli (39%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (26%), enterococcus (21.7%), Pseudomonas (8.6%), Klebsiella (4.3%). Antibiotic susceptibility pattern shows maximum overall sensitivity of organisms to amikacin (65.4%) followed by gentamicin (56%), piperacillin tazobactum (52.17%), amoxyclav (47.8%) followed by rest of drugs.
Conclusions: Practice of   routine culture and sensitivity of surgical site infections can prevent grave complications, limit cost of treatment, prevent fast emerging antimicrobial resistance. In our study, complications are limited to need for secondary suturing. The most susceptible drug in our study is amikacin, thus, it can be incorporated as a part of empirical treatment in patients with surgical site infection before the culture sensitivity report is obtained.
A challenging case of prolactinoma in pregnancy

Published: July 2024

Prolactinomas are the most common functional tumour of pituitary gland arising from lactotrophs.  Microadenomas constitute 90% and the rest are macroadenomas. Females are more prone to develop macroadenomas. High estrogen levels during pregnancy leads to increase in the size of prolactinomas thereby leading to compression of optic chiasma. This eventually manifests as visual symptoms and headache. Pharmacotherapy with dopamine agonists is the treatment of choice. We present here a case of prolactinoma in a pregnant woman whose symptoms worsened due to increase in size of the tumor. Multidisciplinary management resulted in successful outcome.

Published: July 2024

Fibrosarcoma is a rare, malignant tumor of mesenchymal cell origin which derives from pathologically transformed spindle shaped fibroblasts with an excessively high division rate. There is no reported case of fibrosarcoma of the small intestine as a form of recurrence in carcinoma ovary post cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra peritoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC). A 35-year-old female who is a known case of recurrent carcinoma ovary previously treated with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC presented to emergency with features suggestive of intestinal obstruction. Upon exploration dense bowel adhesion and a segmental stricture with micro perforation without any leakage of intestinal content was discovered at 200 cm from DJ flexure. A diagnosis of fibrosarcoma was made on histopathological analysis. Recurrent carcinoma ovary patient treated with secondary CRS and HIPEC presenting with fibrosarcoma in small intestine is a rare entity and hardly any report in the literature. But appropriate diagnosis and management is the key for the successful outcome which we maintained in our case and managed successfully.
A tale of two rare entities: extramammary Paget's disease and hepatocellular carcinoma-a singular case report
Authors: Gupta Sumedha , Kalwaniya Dheer Singh , Zaheer Sufiyan , Mourya Pallavi
Published: July 2024

This case report underscores the intricate challenges in managing extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) of the vulva, a rare neoplasm with diverse clinical manifestations. The presented case, involving a postmenopausal woman, highlights the complexity of EMPD diagnosis and its association with underlying malignancies, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite initial management with 5% Imiquimod cream, the patient's clinical course revealed the aggressive nature of the disease, as evidenced by the development of invasive HCC. The rapid deterioration and subsequent demise of the patient emphasize the need for comprehensive monitoring and early intervention in cases of EMPD, considering its potential association with internal malignancies. The discussion delves into the typical presentation of Paget's disease, its association with adnexal carcinomas, and the challenging link between EMPD and internal malignancy. The retrospective analysis of cases in the literature further underscores the variability in underlying adnexal carcinoma rates, emphasizing the complexity of this association. In this particular case, immunohistochemical markers failed to establish a direct correlation between vulval EMPD and hepatocellular carcinoma, highlighting the need for continued research and understanding of the intricate pathogenesis of EMPD and its relationship with internal malignancies.
